Indigenous Australians & Mining: Developing a Sustainable Future?
Indigenous Australians residing in communities in regional and remote Australia are among Australia's most disadvantaged partly because of limited formal economic opportunity. In these areas mining may be the major - and sometimes only - contributor to mainstream economic development. However Indigenous communities have gained only limited long-term economic benefits from mining activity on land that they own. Furthermore, while many Indigenous people place high value on realising non-economic b
Lies, lies and more lies
Deception in organisations can start with a few 'bad apples' but the rot often spreads much wider and deeper. New research from Dr Stelios C. Zyglidopoulos reveals how apparently good people - churchgoers in Enron's case - can gradually become corrupt, sometimes as a result of social pressures within the organisation.
6.3.1 Refinements and difficulties In Section 6.2, we said that inter-axis repulsions vary in the order: non-bonded pair-non-bonded pair > non-bonded pair-bond pair > bond pair-bond pair There is evidence for this in the inter-bond angles in molecules. For example, in water and

Public sector pay freezes
NHS managers may well have to bite the bullet and accept a pay freeze in the coming year, but if it is executed in the right way and shown to benefit the NHS it may not demotivate staff. The right leadership is key to implementing such top down decisions that directly impact on people's pay, lifestyles and pensions, argues Dr Jenny Dean, but if NHS leaders engage with managers to make them see the longer term benefits it will make any freeze easier to shoulder.

6.2.4 Europe Finally, an area that is subject to much dispute and political discussion is the whole issue of working conditions and the role of the EU. As already mentioned, the background to this is the question of the European Social Chapter. The UK has opted out of this EU initiative, which has to do with establishing common rights and conditions for working environments across the EU member states. A controversial aspect of this concerns the EU's European Works Councils Directive (see www.dti.g

1.3.8 Diagrams for communication Commonly used diagrams for communication follow conventions that are widely understood, many diagrams used for connectivity as previously discussed also lend themselves to use in communicating ideas. A diagram developed for communication: is large, clear and well laid out; has shading and/or colour for emphasis; has a title; and has a key to the meaning of all the symbols used in the diagram.
Survival Rivals
Wellcome Trust have developed these secondary school level educational resources as part of Darwin 200, a national programme of events which honour Darwin’s scientific ideas and their impact. The resources comprise hands-on experiments which are available free and which are designed to assist young people to view how Darwin’s ideas are connected to modern evolutionary principles and contemporary biomedicine. The three resources include ‘I’m a worm, get me out of here’ for 11-14 year olds ex
1.7.1 Carboniferous mires During the late Carboniferous, mires developed over vast areas of the UK. Much of today's land area was an extensive, low-lying plain bordering a sea to the south (a sea that was soon to be the site of a mountain-building episode). Any mountains that existed lay hundreds of kilometres to the north. Large river systems meandered southwards across these plains. At that time, the UK lay in tropical latitudes, almost on the Equator (see Author(s):

A CAVE-Interface in CAAD-Education?
The so called "CAVE-interface" is a very interesting and thrilling development for architects! It supports a better illusion of space by exposing almost a 270? view of a computer model than the 60? which can be viewed on an ordinary computer screen. At the Lund University we have got the possibility to experiment with a CAVE-installation, using it in research and the education of CAAD. The technique and three experiments are discribed. The possibilities are discussed and some problems and questi

2.4 Fuel requirements for nuclear reactors The fission energy of uranium-235 is 8.2 × 1013 J kg−1. Setting this figure in the context of fuelling a reactor depends on: The thermal efficiency of the reactor — For modern burner reactors, this is similar to that of modern fossil fuel power stations, about 35% (i.e. 65% of the available energy is lost within the reactor-coolant-turbine system). The power output — A typical value for a bur
