Typical travel guides have sections on architecture, art, literature, music and cinema. Rarely are any science-related sites identified. For example, a current travel guide for Germany contains one tidbit on science: Einstein is identified as the most famous citizen of Ulm. By contrast, this travel guide walks a tourist through Berlin and identifies where Max Planck started the quantum revolution, where Einstein lived and gave his early talks on general relativity, and where, across the street, Einstein’s books were burned by the Nazis. Or, if you are walking in Paris, this guide tells you where radioactivity was discovered and where …
Readily Available Acidity In Schwertmannite, Chamindra Vithana, Leigh Sullivan, Richard Bush, Edward Burton
Readily Available Acidity In Schwertmannite, Chamindra Vithana, Leigh Sullivan, Richard Bush, Edward Burton
Chamindra Vithana
Schwertmannite and jarosite are considered as less soluble ironhydroxy sulfate minerals which are present in highly acidic environments (pH < 3). These minerals release acidity in the long run as they weather by hydrolysis [1]. However, 1M KCl extraction of soil samples (Clarence and Quartz) spiked with those two minerals showed that schwertmannite has some acidity that may be readily available.

Effect Of Fulvic Acid On Liberation Of Acidity And Arsenic Form Arsenic Substituted Schwertmannite, Chamindra Vithana, Leigh Sullivan, Richard Bush, Edward Burton
Chamindra Vithana
INTRODUCTION
Schwertmannite is one of the main secondary iron hydroxy sulfate minerals contributing to acidity in acid sulfate soils (ASS). While it is an important source of acidity in ASS, schwertmannite is also known to be a potential sink for trace metals such as arsenic (As) and chromium (Cr) (Fukushi et al. 2003; Regenspurg and Peiffer. 2005).Trace metal adsorption/substitution is known to stabilize schwertmannite which in turn retards its transformation to goethite which is one of the main processes of acidity generation in ASS. Fulvic Acid (FA) is a subclass of natural organic materials that are ubiquitous in aquatic environments …

The study of molecular recognition of DNA by natural and synthetic ligands has made enormous progress due in large part to the discovery and development of methods for separating DNA fragments by gel electrophoresis in one and two dimensions, and for characterizing DNA–ligand complexes by footprinting techniques.
Scope Of Amino Acid Recognition By Cucurbit[8]Uril, Preetika Rajgariah, Adam Urbach
Scope Of Amino Acid Recognition By Cucurbit[8]Uril, Preetika Rajgariah, Adam Urbach
Adam R Urbach
This paper describes the molecular recognition of amino acids by cucurbit[8]uril (Q8) and by the 1:1 complex between Q8 and methyl viologen (MV) in purely aqueous solution. These hosts are known to bind aromatic peptides with high affinity and sequence specificity, but prior work has focused on only a small subset of amino acids. In an effort to elucidate the scope and limitations of amino acid recognition by Q8 and Q8•MV, a comprehensive examination of the 20 genetically encoded amino acids was carried out by 1H NMR spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry. We find that both Q8 and Q8•MV …

The ability to program molecules to bind to specific sequences of DNA with high fidelity and stability is an important goal of chemical biology. Such molecules can compete with transcription-factor proteins and thus modulate the transcription of genes. They are therefore promising for both elucidating the complex regulation of mammalian gene expression, and developing pharmaceuticals and medical diagnostics targeted to genetic abberations. Writing in Nature Chemistry, Brent Iverson and co-workers have now described the excellent sequence specificity and unusual binding kinetics of a stable DNA–ligand complex, which exhibits a half-life of 16 days.

Effects Of The Number And Placement Of Positive Charges On Viologen–Cucurbit[N]Uril Interactions, Gretchen Vincil, Adam Urbach
Adam R Urbach
Recent developments in the synthesis and applications of the cucurbit[n]uril family of synthetic hosts has led to an increasing interest in the detailed studies of their interactions with a wide variety of guests. This paper describes a quantitative study of the effects of the number and placement of positive charges on the binding of viologen guests to cucurbit[7]uril and cucurbit[8]uril. A series of viologen derivatives with one to four charges was characterised by isothermal titration calorimetry, 1H NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry to determine the stoichiometry, affinity and mode of binding. These data show that stoichiometry can be controlled by …

Adam R Urbach
The utilities of benzobis(imidazolium) salts (BBIs) as stable and fluorescent components of supramolecular assemblies involving the macrocyclic host, cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]), are described. CB[8] has the unusual ability to bind tightly and selectively to two different guests in aqueous media, typically methyl viologen (MV) as the first guest, followed by an indole, naphthalene, or catechol-containing second guest. Based on similar size, shape, and charge, tetramethyl benzobis(imidazolium) (MBBI) was identified as a potential alternative to MV that would increase the repertoire of guests for cucurbit[8]uril. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) studies showed that MBBI binds to CB[8] in a 1:1 ratio with an …

Sulfur, Iron And Carbon Cycling Following Hydrological Restoration Of Acidic Freshwater Wetlands, Scott Johnston, Edward Burton, Thor Aaso, Gerard Tuckerman
Sulfur, Iron And Carbon Cycling Following Hydrological Restoration Of Acidic Freshwater Wetlands, Scott Johnston, Edward Burton, Thor Aaso, Gerard Tuckerman
Associate Professor Edward D Burton
Freshwater re-flooding is a relatively novel approach to remediate drained acid sulfate soil (ASS) wetlands. This study documents the geochemical consequences of restoring freshwater re-flooding for contemporary reduced inorganic sulfur (RIS) and iron species in two coastal floodplain ASS wetlands. Re-flooding has established predominantly reducing/suboxic conditions and encouraged organic carbon accumulation in surface sediments (~ 20–30%). The pH of former sulfuric horizons has increased by ~ 2–3 units, partly in response to alkalinity generation from anaerobic metabolism of organic carbon coupled with Fe(III) and SO42 − reduction. Despite considerable sulfidisation, reactive Fe (FeR; sum of 1 M HCl and citrate–dithionite …

The Unusual 3d Interplay Of Basement Fault Reactivation And Fault-Propagation-Fold Development: A Case Study Of The Laramide-Age Stillwell Anticline, West Texas (Usa), Benjamin Surpless, Nicola Hill, Cara Beasley
The Unusual 3d Interplay Of Basement Fault Reactivation And Fault-Propagation-Fold Development: A Case Study Of The Laramide-Age Stillwell Anticline, West Texas (Usa), Benjamin Surpless, Nicola Hill, Cara Beasley
Benjamin E Surpless
Subsurface fault geometries have a systematic influence on folds formed above those faults. We use the extraordinarily well-exposed fold geometries of the Laramide-age Stillwell anticline in west Texas (USA) to develop a strain-predictive model of fault-propagation fold formation. The anticline is a 10-km long, NW-trending, NE-vergent, asymmetric fold system with an axis that displays a map-view left-stepping, en echelon pattern. We integrated field observations, geologic and structural data, cross-sections, and 2D kinematic modeling to establish an unusual 3D two-stage model of contractional fold formation, including: 1) reverse reactivation of a pre-existing, NW-striking, SW-dipping, left-stepping, en echelon normal fault system in …
Holocene Earthquakes And Late Pleistocene Slip-Rate Estimates On The Wassuk Range Fault Zone, Nevada, Jayne Bormann, Benjamin Surpless, Marc Caffee, Steven Wesnousky
Holocene Earthquakes And Late Pleistocene Slip-Rate Estimates On The Wassuk Range Fault Zone, Nevada, Jayne Bormann, Benjamin Surpless, Marc Caffee, Steven Wesnousky
Benjamin E Surpless
The Wassuk Range fault zone is an 80‐km‐long, east‐dipping, high‐angle normal fault that flanks the eastern margin of the Wassuk Range in central Nevada. Observations from two alluvial fan systems truncated by the fault yield information on the vertical slip rate and Holocene earthquake history along the range front. At the apex of the Rose Creek alluvial fan, radiocarbon dating of offset stratigraphy exposed in two fault trenches shows that multiple earthquakes resulted in 7.0 m of vertical offset along the fault since ∼9400 cal B.P. These data yield a Holocene vertical slip rate of 0.7±0.1 mm/yr. The south trench …
Wildlife Of The Gold Coast Wetlands, Shelley Burgin, Daryl Mcphee
Wildlife Of The Gold Coast Wetlands, Shelley Burgin, Daryl Mcphee
Daryl McPhee
Extract: Water in the landscape of the Gold Coast is dominated by marine and marine-influenced systems. The most obvious are the in-shore waters abutting the Gold Coast's world-famous beaches and estuaries. Little more than a glance at a map of the city also reveals the extensive canal estates built to take advantage of the marine waters, and indeed expand them. The waters of the rivers mix with the ocean's waters in the estuaries. These ecosystems are valuable nursery areas for marine wildlife, particularly, but not restricted to, fishes of commercial and recreational value.

Marine Environments Of The Gold Coast: Out With The Old, In With The New, Daryl Mcphee
Daryl McPhee
Extract: The marine environments of the Gold Coast comprise one of the most highly modified and heavily utilised waterways in Australia. Chapters 2 and 3 discussed changes in the historic land use patterns. Just what has this meant to the marine environments of the Gold Coast? In this chapter the contemporary marine h abitats of the Gold Coast are described, along with the fauna that those habitats support. We talk about how the current status of the habitats compares with various historical points in time, and the role of novel habitats. Given the impor tance of recreational fishing to both …
In Conclusion, Something To Chew On: Native Plant Foods Of The Gold Coast, Simon Grigalius, Daryl Mcphee
In Conclusion, Something To Chew On: Native Plant Foods Of The Gold Coast, Simon Grigalius, Daryl Mcphee
Daryl McPhee
Extract: Ask most people what Gold Coast food is and you may hear answers like the ubiquitous prawn cocktail with avocado, a burger with ' fresh' pineapple available at the local surf club, or fish and chips (eaten on the beach to give it the seaside connection), with the fish often imported from New Zealand or Vietnam. None of this is the true food of the Gold Coast.
A Brief History Of Discovery, Settlement And Development, Tor Hundloe, Craig Page
A Brief History Of Discovery, Settlement And Development, Tor Hundloe, Craig Page
Tor Hundloe
Extract: If we can rely on anecdotal data, the answers to what is truly Australian will start with mention of the koala, go to kangaroos and then include the rest of Australia's peculiar (to foreigners) fauna. The only exception might be that if we asked a male from the Asian subcontinent (India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh) what he identified Australia with, he might answer 'Cricket'. Putting that aside, the Gold Coast is very likely to be in the mix of Australian icons. To capture the essence of the Gold Coast, we need to talk about its history in more …
The Impact On The Gold Coast's Terrestrial Environments, Tor Hundloe
The Impact On The Gold Coast's Terrestrial Environments, Tor Hundloe
Tor Hundloe
Extract: We tend to think of the Gold Coast as a water environment. As tourists know, it sits on the shore of the vast Pacific Ocean. That is why most come. They have seen the magnificent photographs. If not perched on flattened dunes looking east to the ocean, a significant part of the urban Gold Coast environment is located around natural and human-made water environments. Of these we will say little here, other than to note their extent. The focus of this chapter is the city's terrestrial environments, reporting on and ultimately, after describing the environments, discussing what proportion of …
The Gold Coast Before Cook Named Mount Warning, Tor Hundloe
The Gold Coast Before Cook Named Mount Warning, Tor Hundloe
Tor Hundloe
Extract: We could and should ask, where does the Gold Coast sit on a scale from 'good' to 'bad' in environmental terms? Sustainable or unsustainable? Is it progressing or regressing? It is far too early in the book to attempt to answer this. Maybe at the end of the book you will feel confident to make your own assessment. What we do in this chapter is to make obvious a small number of seemingly irreversible changes that have occurred since the first escaped convicts walked the Gold Coast beaches. We know that indigenous Australians have lived on the Gold Coast …
The Gold Coast: A Snapshot, Tor Hundloe
The Gold Coast: A Snapshot, Tor Hundloe
Tor Hundloe
Extract: We know the city's boundaries as they are today (they have changed dramatically over time) and that is all we need to answer the question: what is the size of the city? The city's boundaries today are shown in Plate 3. As noted previously, the Gold Coast was a lot smaller in a geographical sense a couple of generations ago. When it was known as the 'South Coast' (or simply 'the Coast'), its northern boundary was at Lands End, north of Labrador. Coolangatta to Lands End established the south- north limits. Beenleigh in Logan City was considered the half-way …
State Of The Environment, Tor Hundloe
State Of The Environment, Tor Hundloe
Tor Hundloe
Extract: What have we done? What have we learned? In this chapter we turn our attention to the people of the Gold Coast and their environmental impacts, as experienced in the 21st century. The past is gone. The damage is done. Dramatic change in landforms and ecological relationships are inevitable in building cities. From this we can only learn and do things better in the future. This is why there will never be another Gold Coast like the one we describe in this book.
