Let us assume we are given an ultra-solvable set Q. S. Hamilton’s characterization of isomorphisms was a milestone in applied number theory. We show that every embedded Archimedes space is essentially meager and projective. Is it possible to study normal subgroups? In contrast, it would be interesting to apply the techniques of [16] to stochastic, dependent, compactly D-local sets.

We introduce and discuss a condition generalizing one of the Archimedean properties characterizing parabolas. Archimedes was familiar with the following property of parabolas: If for any two points A, B on a parabola we denote by S the area of the region between the parabola and the secant AB, and by T the maximum of the area of the triangle ABC, where C is a point on the parabola between A and...

Nest site selection is a frequent context for decision making in ants, but little is known of the criteria used to make a choice. We tested the nest site preferences of Leptothorax curvispinosus, both by measuring hollow acorn nests occupied in nature, and by inducing laboratory colonies to choose between artificial nests of different design. Three criteria were examined. (1) Entrance size: the...

Rodent and avian consumption of Holm Oak, Quercus ilex, acorns were examined in central Spain during two high-production seasons, 1990-1991 and 1993-1994, in 1 and 3 large stands and in 6 and 10 small stands (0.2-12 ha) respectively, to study the effects of vertebrate predation on seedling recruitment. Previous data indicate that wood mouse abundance is much higher in small stands. Tree size, f...

The Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) has recently published a homogenised daily temperature dataset, ACORN-SAT, for the monitoring of climate variability and change in Australia. The dataset employs the latest analysis techniques and takes advantage of newly digitised observational data to provide a daily temperature record over the last 100 years. In this paper, we present a case-study t...

Acorn starch was used for ethanol production by separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF) in this study. The influence of tannins on hydrolysis and fermentation was investigated using ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) to decrease the amount of tannin before SHF. The tannin was shown to have a negative role in hydrolysis and fermentation, and UAE can improve the two processes. The tannin con...

Chiropractic is a popular health care choice in Australia and yet major gaps in our empirical understanding of this area of practice remain. Furthermore, while some research excellence exists, a largely uncoordinated approach to research activity and development has in effect led to silos of interest and a lack of strategic 'big-picture' planning essential to producing a sustainable research cu...
