" God cast down on them great tribulation, famine, and pestilence: the people perished." So Hesiod (c. 700 B.c.) described the association between famine and pestilence, and they have been firmly coupled in men's minds at least since that time. McCance (1951) has reviewed the historical association. Children with kwashiorkor or nutritional marasmus often have acute bacterial infections. This ha...

Nucleation from a boundary is experimentally and numerically studied in a one-dimensional array in two excitable media consisting of Chua's circuits and the Oregonator model, respectively. Forcing from a boundary with a pulse of constant amplitude and infinite duration gives rise to a periodic wave train propagating through the array. As the amplitude of the pulse increases, wave period evolves...

Between 1944 and 1956, radioactive 131I was released into the atmosphere from operations at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, TN. The releases occurred from stacks and from building vents and openings in three different chemical forms: elemental, organic, and particulate. During their transport in the atmosphere, different forms of iodine react differently with other atmospheric c...

I spoke in June in Canberra to a joint luncheon meeting of the AIBF and two other local organisations. My theme was the many faces of risk in banking. Today I would like to expand on a couple of the risks I touched on then, namely: • the Year 2000 problem; and • payments system risk, particularly in relation to settlement of foreign exchange transactions. This also gives me the opportunity to t...
