•Investigated soil corrosivity potential at 20 field sites in South Australia.•Zinc-aluminium fence samples were buried in surface soils for 9 months.•Soil pH, ECe and soil texture were used as ...indicators of fence corrosion risk.•Zinc corrosion (µm/year) was greatest when soil pH was > 8.5 and ECe ≥ 5 dS/m.•A new fence corrosion risk prediction method was developed.
The use of exclusion fencing as part of wildlife conservation programs has been increasing in recent years, particularly in Australia. Soil corrosion damage sustained on fences is a significant management concern as the weakened fence netting can provide opportunities for feral animal incursions into fenced safe havens. Soil corrosivity risk mapping can assist with the design of fenced nature reserves to reduce the frequency of fence repair and replacement. However, very little research has focused on developing methods for accurately predicting fence corrosion rates in different surface soil environments. This paper assesses the use of different soil attributes as corrosivity indicators for identifying areas of low, moderate and high fence corrosion risk in different soil environments present in South Australia (20 field sites). Zinc corrosion rates measured on zinc-aluminium fence samples (buried at sites for 9 months) ranged by a factor of nearly 50, with low rates of fence corrosion (0.1–0.7 µm/year) observed at five sites, medium rates (0.7–2.1 µm/year) observed at 10 sites, and extreme rates (>8.4 µm/year) observed at four sites. Fence corrosion risk was predicted using soil pH, soil salinity and texture data, and a soil corrosivity risk index developed for use in arid soils in South Australia. Predicted zinc corrosion rates matched field observations at 45 % of field sites. The highest rates of zinc corrosion (>4.2 µm/year) were observed at field sites with highly alkaline (pH > 8.5) and highly saline (ECe ≥ 5 dS/m) soils. An improved fence corrosion risk classification method, referred as the Fence Corrosion Risk Decision Tree was developed using these soil pH and salinity thresholds, which correctly predicted fence corrosion risk at 67 % of field sites at Olympic Dam and Farina and 50 % of field sites on the Yorke Peninsula. Further research is needed to assess the ability of this method to predict long-term fence damage (>2 years exposed to soil conditions).

Ayurveda and other Indian system of medicine use metals, but their use is also amply described in Chinese and Egyptian civilization in 2500 B.C. Bhasma are unique ayurvedic metallic/minerals ...preparation, treated with herbal juice or decoction and exposed for Ayurveda, which are known in Indian subcontinent since 7(th) century A.D. and widely recommended for treatment of a variety of chronic ailments. Animal's derivative such as horns, shells, feathers, metallic, nonmetallic and herbals are normally administered as Bhasma. A Bhasma means an ash obtained through incineration; the starter material undergoes an elaborate process of purification and this process is followed by the reaction phase, which involves incorporation of some other minerals and/or herbal extract. There are various importance of Bhasma like maintaining optimum alkalinity for optimum health, neutralizing harmful acids that lead to illness; because Bhasma do not get metabolized so they don't produce any harmful metabolite, rather it breakdowns heavy metals in the body. Methods including for Bhasma preparation are parpati, rasayoga, sindora, etc., Bhasma which contain Fe, Cu, S or other manufacturing process plays a specific role in the final product(s). Particle size (1-2 μ) reduced significantly, which may facilitate absorption and assimilation of the drug into the body system. Standardization of Bhasma is utmost necessary to confirm its identity and to determine its quality, purity safety, effectiveness and acceptability of the product. But the most important challenges faced by these formulations are the lack of complete standardization by physiochemical parameters.
In an interview, Marna P. Borgstrom, FACHE, president and CEO of Yale New Haven Health System (YNHHS), and CEO of Yale-New Haven Hospital, talked about her career. Borgstrom said there are many ...challenges in the healthcare environment, but she thinks the core value has been, and must continue to be, about the patient and about making patient care and caring better. She thinks it is really important to be involved in and contribute to their communities as well as to state and national organizations. Such involvement can help protect an executive and his or her organization against insularity. However, you can only become active in outside organizations with the confidence that your "day job won't suffer" because you have an incredibly high-functioning and well-developed team. When one becomes the senior leader of an organization, there is a big transition from a lifetime of being a "doer" to accomplishing things through other people -- effectively becoming the orchestra conductor.

"We have taken the most important steps in our continuing efforts to help become a more green company: changing packaging and reducing the energy used by our products," said, Marna Bullard, vice ...president of world wide marketing. "Linksys is conscious of the environment, actively participating in waste take-back programs and reducing hazardous wastes in our products. We are now redoubling our efforts with the new packaging and have received ENERGY STAR ratings on select routers, modems, gateways and adapters." What is so "green" about the packaging? 1. Linksys has removed the "sleeve" (outer packaging that contains all the printing and information about the product). Instead of having a "sleeve," Linksys plans to print all the information on the box itself, eliminating the extra "sleeve" material. 2. Linksys also reduced the size of the box its products come in. 3. All packaging and internal documents are printed on paper that is made from 80% recycled content and we now use vegetable and soy inks. 4. Internal packaging is transitioning to more recyclable material. 5. The use of plastic bags is being eliminated where possible.
We're past that now. On a recent Wednesday, I called in the afternoon and had a table for that night. A good table, at that. We arrived just as the restaurant opened at 5:30. In pre-storm days, that ...availed the restaurant's early-evening menu - one of the two or three best values in the history of local gourmet dining. Like most early-bird specials, that's gone now. But Marna Brigtsen's regular menu remains as good a deal as ever. A dish that's become emblematic of Brigtsen's style is the seafood platter, aka "The Shell Beach Diet." This is more or less a collection of appetizers on one big plate, and it includes enough food and variety to constitute an entire meal. It's constantly changing, but the one we had a couple of weeks ago was typical. Shrimp remoulade stacked atop a little pile of crabmeat ravigote was the cold item on the platter. Two different varieties of baked oysters - one sort of like a Rockefeller, one with shrimp and crabmeat - flanked a ramekin of jalapeno cornbread with crawfish. On the lower margin was a piece of redfish with a different sauce with the same crawfish. The duck here is legendary - so much so that I haven't had it in many years. That drought ended with the arrival of the night's version involving sour cherries and a sort of spicy slaw. This is a half duck ("I never did think that a rare grilled duck breast fanned out on a plate tastes much like duck," Frank told me once), with all the bones removed, the meat meltingly tender and the skin light and cracklings-like in its crispness. It's as fine a duck as I know.
