Abstract:

The effect of ripping, mounding and fertiliser application on growth of E. globulus spp. globulus (Tasmanian blue gum) was assessed on 2 sites on the basaltic plains in south-western Victoria. The sites were gravelly loam duplex soils on a well-drained hillcrest and a clay–loam duplex soil on a valley flat that has impeded drainage in winter. The ground preparation treatments comprised a control (herbicide only), ripping to 65 cm, ripping plus small mounds (20 by 40 cm) and ripping plus large mound (60 by 150 cm). The fertiliser treatments were nil, 125, 250 and 500 g of fertiliser (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur) applied per tree 2 months after planting. The basal phosphorus, sulfur and potassium content of topsoil was 8–11, 11–14 and 140–220 mg/kg, respectively, for both sites. Rainfall in 1996, 1997 and 1998 was 695, 497 and 697 mm, respectively. This paper reports growth of 2 seedlots of blue gums (Yeodene Seed Orchard and Otway Ranges, Lorne) at 10 and 23 months after planting in Sep.–Oct. 1996 at 4 by 2 m spacing. The mean height of trees on the hillcrest site was 1.5 and 4.2 m at these times, respectively. For the valley flat, the mean heights were 0.9 and 3.0 m, respectively. On the hillcrest, ripping significantly increased tree height in the first year, but after 23 months neither height nor stem volume was greater than on unripped lines. Use of small mounds did not affect growth of trees at this site, whereas large mounds increased growth. At 10 months, tree height was greater (P<0.05) on the ripped plus large mounds than on the ripped only treatment, but this effect was lost at 23 months. Stem volume was 15% greater than on the ripped only treatment at 23 months, and 22% greater than the control. Trees from the Otway Ranges seedlot were taller and had 17% greater stem volume than trees from the Yeodene Seed Orchard seedlot at 23 months. For the valley flat, there were significant seedling source × site preparation interactions for height at 10 and 23 months (P<0.05), and for stem diameter and volume at 23 months (P<0.01), with the Otway seedlot performing better on the large mounds. There were no effects of fertiliser application on height, diameter or stem volume at 23 months on either site. The results indicate that planting on large mounds can improve early tree growth on farmland sites on the basaltic plains, but ripping without mounding, or fertiliser application in the first 2 years, is unlikely to improve performance.

Ryan, PJ. "Boron retention within a catena of rhyolitic soils and Its effect on radiata pine growth and nutrition." Soil Research 27, no. 1 (1989): 135. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/sr9890135.

Full text

Abstract:

Boron deficiency in Pinus radiata (D. Don) plantations in N.S.W. has been particularly evident on soils derived from acid igneous parent materials. A slope sequence (catena) of soils on a rhyolitic parent material was selected to study the amount of boron retention and its relationship to soil development. The soils at three positions, a hillcrest, mid-slope and lower slope, were described and various soil chemical and physical properties were determined for each horizon. Tree height, deformity, survival and foliar chemistry of 6 year old P. radiata were measured in plots adjacent to the three soil profiles studied. Boron adsorption isotherms varied within individual soil profiles by horizon and also between the different soil profiles in the catena. Boron adsorption was highest in the hillcrest soil B horizons and lowest in the bleached A2 horizons of the lower slope soil. The Freundlich isotherm constant k was found to be significantly correlated with clay content (r = 0.88), exchangeable aluminium (r = 0.79, exchangeable potassium (r = 0.68), and dithionite-citrate extractable iron (r = 0.66). Leaching and illuviation of iron oxides and clay has been accentuated in the two soil profiles on the hillslope sites of the catena. As clay, aluminium and iron oxides have been removed from the surface horizons of the lower slope soil, the ability of these horizons to adsorb and therefore retain boron has been greatly diminished. Position on the catena also affected P. radiata growth survival and foliar chemistry. Tree height decreased while the incidence of deformity increased down the slope. It is suggested that the progressive deterioration in tree growth down the slope is mainly caused by the trees being increasingly affected by boron stress as a result of decreasing capacity of the soils to retain boron by adsorption against leaching towards the lower slope.

This article examines the history of Chinese religiosities in Saskatoon. Chinese Religion(s), described by Jordan and Li Paper and David Chuenyan Lai as an “unrecognized” religion in Canada, can just as easily be described as “misunderstood.” To better understand the “religion(s)” of Chinese Canadians, this exploratory essay concentrates on the population in Saskatoon from the mid-nineteenth to the early twenty-first centuries with the help of archival materials that range from oral interviews to photographs; headstone inscriptions and offerings at graves in Hillcrest and Woodlawn cemeteries; textual sources including newspapers, provincial statutes, books, and journal articles; and thirteen interviews conducted in 2007.这篇论文试图通过对加拿大萨斯卡通市的华人宗教信仰和实践的考察和分析说明文化上的误解是造成白人对华人负面印象的重要原因。学者描述加拿大华人的宗教信仰是“未被认可的”，不如称之为“被误解的”更为恰当。为了更好地认识和理解加籍华人的宗教信仰及其实践，这篇探索性的论文重点放在 19 世纪中至 21 世纪初加拿大萨斯卡通的华人。论文采用的档案资料包括面谈、照片、墓碑刻文、 Hillcrest 和 Woodlawn 墓地的祭物，以及包括报刊、萨省法规、书籍、期刊论文和 2007 年进行的 13 次面谈的文本资料。This article is in English.

Abstract:

Abstract Four insecticides were tested for efficacy against Japanese beetle larvae at the Hillcrest Park Cemetery, Springfield, MA. The lawn consisted of 50% Kentucky bluegrass, 20% creeping bentgrass, 20% crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis), and was mowed at ca. 2.0 inches. Treatment plots were 8 ft by 8 ft, replicated 5 times, arranged in aCRB. Applications were made on 27 Aug 1996. Granular products were applied by hand using glass jars with perforated lids. Liquid formulations were applied by hand with a watering can using 4 liters of water per plot. Plots were watered in with 0.15 inch irrigation within one hour after application. Product efficacy was evaluated for all treatments on 18 Oct (52 DAT) by removing 5 cupcutter plugs (4.25 inch diam) from near the center of each plot, dislodging soil and counting all grubs to a depth of 3 inches.

Abstract:

In 1967, black residents of Asheville’s public housing complexes issued a challenge to the Asheville Housing Authority. Proclaiming “we are human and we want our freedom,” tenants demanded a new relationship to the institution that governed their lives in this southern Appalachian city. The Asheville rent strike began in 1967, and with this campaign, low-income black residents punctured the oppressive political and social dynamics of the city that had rendered them invisible. With this strike, tenants articulated claims for justice based on a recognition of their dignity and a correction to unfair treatment. Despite the power of institutionalized racism and the dynamics of paternalism, black tenants flipped the script to challenge the deeply ingrained system of white paternalism that structured their daily lives. Ultimately, tenants at Hillcrest and Lee Walker Heights challenged the very nature of black leadership in Asheville, North Carolina, by taking on the city government.

Abstract:

Social reproduction scholars and the literature on critical race theory and student resistance contend that schools are not neutral institutions existing in a vacuum free of the political and social struggles for rights and resources (Delgado Bernal, 1998; Fine, 1991). Instead, schools can be institutions that reproduce dominant ideologies and oppressive hierarchies or arenas from which to challenge power and status-quo policies (Freire, 1970). Drawing from two years of participant observations at Hillcrest High School, this study explores how Latina/o students in collaboration with their teacher engage in transformational resistance to subtractive schooling. I document how co-leadership in the classroom between teacher and students supports the co-creation of a transformative space for critical reflection. Similar to activist groups creating spaces to cultivate youth political engagement, classrooms can be reconstructed to foster the development of students as agents of change. This article presents the process through which Latina/o students gain critical reflection of social inequalities and systems of oppression that enables them to advocate for more inclusive and just schooling practices.

Abstract:

An understanding of the contributing factors to severe intersection crashes is crucial for developing countermeasures to reduce crash numbers and severity at high-risk crash locations. This study examined the variables affecting crash incidence and crash severity at intersections in San Antonio over a five-year period (2013–2017) and identified high-risk locations based on crash frequency and injury severity using data from the Texas Crash Record and Information System database. Bivariate analysis and binary logistic regression, along with respective odds ratios, were used to identify the most significant variables contributing to severe intersection crashes by quantifying their association with crash severity. Intersection crashes were predominantly clustered in the downtown area with relatively less severe crashes. Males and older drivers, weekend driving, nighttime driving, dark lighting conditions, grade and hillcrest road alignment, and crosswalk, divider and marked lanes used as traffic control significantly increased crash severity risk at intersections. Prioritizing resource allocation to high-risk intersections, separating bicycle lanes and sidewalks from the roadway, improving lighting facilities, increasing law enforcement activity during the late night hours of weekend, and introducing roundabouts at intersections with stops and signals as traffic controls are recommended countermeasures.

Full text

Abstract:

Four Alfisols in south-eastern Australia were studied to determine their genesis with special reference to textural profile development and aeolian accession. Sampling sites were located in erosional terrain developed from granitic rocks of similar composition and in hillcrest positions to reduce the chance that colluvial deposition had affected pedogenesis. The sampling transect was placed in such a way that differences in regional aeolian accession could be reflected in soil properties. The chemical and physical characteristics of these soils indicated that strong leaching had been important in their genesis. Detailed particle-size data confirmed that the coarsest fractions in all profiles were derived from weathered granite. The A horizons tended to have a single size mode in the sand range and very little clay-size material. The B horizons tended to be bimodal with the greatest amount of clay in the 0.12-0.06 �m size class and a mode in the sand range close to that of the A horizons. The appearance of a peak in the 62-31 �m size class, which is progressively stronger in the western sites, probably relates to a fine aeolian accession which has penetrated the B and C horizons. The amount of clay contributed by aeolian accession to textural B horizons is unknown. At erosional sites in south-eastern Australia, where the probability of colluvial and fluvial sedimentary layering is minimal, aeolian accession of fine fractions has complicated the interpretation of pedogenesis.

Full text

Abstract:

One method for preventing the degradation of water supplies through contamination with phosphorus (P), nitrate (NO3), and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is to restrict movement of these contaminants from the catchment into water bodies. The purpose of the study was to quantify and characterise the proportion of NO3, P, and DOC moving from duplex soils by overland flow and through-flow on a sub-catchment scale, and to characterise soil properties that influence their movement. Two sites in the Adelaide Hills (South Australia) with contrasting duplex soils were instrumented to collect overland flow and through-flow from the soils A and B horizon. Each site contained 2 sub-catchments in close proximity. Sub-catchments were well defined by the natural topography sloping from hillcrest to a stream headwater. Soil type, especially the degree of texture contrast, the macroporosity, and the proportion of clay in the B horizon, had a large influence on the pathways of water, and therefore P, DOC, and NO3 movement. Environmentally significant concentrations of P (>0�1 mg/L) and NO3-N (>0�5 mg/L) moved overland and through these soils in 1997. High DOC loads (25 mg/L), which would also impact on water treatment costs, moved through some soils. Significant loading of P moved through and over soils in both dissolved (0�5 mg/L) and particulate (0�3 mg/L) forms. Consequently, through-flow cannot be ignored as a contributor to P in streams and both dissolved and particulate P must be measured under these conditions to define the full impact of P. The findings from this research have implications for research on catchment management to restrict DOC and nutrient movement into waterways.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the implications for adults of learning in a residential context and whether the residential aspect intensifies the learning process, and can lead to enhanced personal transformation, moving beyond professional skills and training for employability. Design/methodology/approach The paper reports on research, conducted in 2017, with 41 current and former staff and students (on both short courses and longer access courses) in four residential colleges for adults: Ruskin, Northern, Fircroft and Hillcroft Colleges. Findings Key findings include the powerful role residential education plays in accelerating and deepening learning experiences, particularly for adults who have faced extraordinary personal and societal challenges and are second chance learners. The colleges, all in historic settings, confer feelings of worth, security and sanctuary and the staff support – pastoral and academic, bespoke facilities and private rooms are vital enabling mechanisms. Seminar-style learning creates opportunity for experiential group learning, helping to foster critical thinking and challenge to mainstream views. Social implications The colleges’ ethos, curricula and traditions foster among students an “ethic of service” and a desire to offer “emotional labour” to their own communities, through working for instance in health and social care or the voluntary sector. Originality/value Little research has been undertaken in contemporary settings on the impact of learning in a residential environment, particularly for second chance learners and vulnerable adults. Still less research has examined the wider implications of learning in a historic building setting and of learning which extends into critical thinking, intellectual growth, transformation and change.

Abstract:

The focus of this article is on 'little travellers', a form of figure making associated with Woza Moya, an arts and craft project based in Hillcrest, KwaZulu-Natal. This article tracks and analyses the creation of two variations of the Frida 'little traveller' created by a Woza Moya bead artist, Busisiwe Nzama, in partnership with the Director of the project, Paula Thomson. My data-gathering process was conducted over an eleven-month period of observations interspersed with conversations, photographing and interviews with the objective of deepening an understanding of the co-design and co-creation process between a stakeholder from the arts and craft non-governmental sector and societal practice partners. The study conducted found that an analysis of this process of partnership allows a deepened understanding of the historical realities of an individual expressed through beadworks. Some 'little travellers' by Nzama take their inspiration from the work of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. As with Kahlo, much of Nzama's work is concerned with self-representation. While Nzama and Kahlo treat the subject of self-representation differently, both artists indicate ways in which the self becomes infused in a work of art. This aspect of the 'little travellers' conceptualisation enables me to explore the similarities between Nzama and Kahlo's bodies of work.

Chan, Elden, BCIT School of Health Sciences, Environmental Health, and Martin MacLeod. "A comparison of recreational water illness awareness and frequency of swimming." BCIT Environmental Public Health Journal, August 8, 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.47339/ephj.2014.141.

Full text

Abstract:

Objective: Swimming pools have potential to create health hazards that range from physical, chemical to biological. Biological concerns center on communicable diseases which can be spread through poor hygiene practices. To prevent the spread of disease, swimmers must be informed and practice appropriate hygiene. This study aims to determine whether the frequency of swimming had an influence on swimming pool hygiene knowledge. Method: Survey questions focusing on risk factors for communicable disease spread, and personal hygiene practices were developed using the pool operation handbooks, input from environmental health instructors at the British Columbia Institute of Technology, as well as past surveys from other studies. Pool patrons were surveyed at Hillcrest Community Centre in Vancouver. Scores from these tests were then analyzed in NCSS9 using one-way ANOVA tests and Two-Sample t-tests. Results: 167 validated surveys were analyzed. The most often incorrectly answered questions were in regards to the duration of avoiding swimming after diarrheal illness, pre-swim hygiene, and after bathroom use hygiene. No statistically significant difference in mean test score was found in individuals that swam more than once a week, more than once a month, or less than once a month. Statistically significant differences in mean test scores were found for individuals that read signs, and age group. Conclusion: From the data, it is observed that those who swam more frequently were not more informed on pool hygiene issues than those who swam less. The sample size (n=167) for this conclusion may be too small, since beta value was 87.5%.

Abstract:

Objectives: Chloramines are disinfection by-products that are produced between chlorine and contaminants in the pool. Exposures to chloramines at high levels or for extended durations have been found to cause mucous membrane irritations and respiratory distress in humans. To reduce chloramines production, secondary treatment in the form of UV and ozone are used in newer indoor swimming pools. This study aimed to examine whether there is a difference between UV and ozone treatment in their effectiveness in reducing chloramines in indoor pools. Killarney leisure pool and whirlpool, which utilized ozone treatment, as well as Hillcrest leisure pool and whirlpool, which utilized UV treatment, were studied. Methods: Hach Pocket Colorimeter 2 Analysis System which used a DPD method of analysis was used to determine concentrations of free chlorine and total chlorines. Concentrations of chloramines were calculated by subtracting the concentration of free chlorine from total chlorine. Thirty pool water samples for each type of pool system were analyzed on random days in the afternoons of January and February, 2015. A two sample t-test was used to compare the chloramines concentrations of the whirlpools; while a Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the chloramines concentrations of the leisure pools. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the mean chloramines concentration of the UV-treated whirlpool and that of the ozone-treated whirlpool (p = 0.00854). However, there was not a statistically significant difference between the mean chloramines concentration between the UV treated leisure pool and that of the ozone treated leisure pool (p = 0.882048). Conclusions: It was determined that UV was more effective than ozone in reducing chloramines concentrations in indoor public whirlpools. Therefore, in order to choose a treatment that leads to the greatest reduction of health hazard posed to pool patrons, UV is preferred. Whirlpools that intend to adopt secondary treatment may consider UV.
