A survey is given of experimental studies of electron attachment and recombination in dense molecular media, from which information on the effect of van der Waals potentials or on the existence of surrounding molecules on these processes is obtained.

An optical study has been made of La0 ·7Ca0 ·3MnO3 and La0 ·8Li0 ·2MnO3 in the infrared spectral region (100 cm−1 to 4000 cm−1). The transmission of all samples is negligible. The photoconductive response is also unmeasurable. The data reported are therefore restricted to reflectivity measurements. At room temperature, both materials exhibit similar ‘bending’ and ‘stretching’ phonon modes, asso...

We assess the performance of 30 CMIP5 and two CMIP3 models using metrics based on an all-Australia average rainfall and NINO3.4 sea surface temperatures (SSTs). The assessment provides an insight into the relative performance of the models at simulating long-term average monthly mean values, interannual variability and the seasonal cycles. It also includes a measure of the ability to capture ob...

The problem of assuring secure and confidential access and transfer of medical records in healthcare facilities can be partitioned into (a) secure storage and access of electronic records within a facility and (b) secure transfer of electronic records between facilities. To address the first issue, we propose a new tag-based data model for representation of electronic medical records along with...

CSIRO ICT Centre is developing millimetre wave point-to-point links suitable for multigigabit wireless connectivity. Suitable spectrum for this purpose is allocated at the 60 GHz band and above. This paper reports a new point-to-point link that will be installed at Marsfield site to demonstrate multi-gigabit operation and performance of its key components. The link will operate at the 81-86 GHz...
