3D characterisation of tool wear whilst diamond turning silicon [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Nanometrically smooth infrared silicon optics can be manufactured by the diamond turning process. Due to its relatively low density, silicon is an ideal optical material for weight sensitive infrared (IR) applications. However, rapid diamond tool edge

Factors that enable and hinder the implementation of projects in the alcohol and other drug field

open access: yesAustralian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health, 2012
Objective: Few studies systematically explore elements of successful project implementation across a range of alcohol and other drug (AOD) activities. This paper provides an evidence base to inform project implementation in the AOD field.

Brittle–ductile transition during diamond turning of single crystal silicon carbide [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In this experimental study, diamond turning of single crystal 6H-SiC was performed at a cutting speed of 1 m/s on an ultra-precision diamond turning machine (Moore Nanotech 350 UPL) to elucidate the microscopic origin of ductile-regime machining ...

Pushing or Pulling Your “Poison”: Clinical Correlates of Alcohol Approach and Avoidance Bias Among Inpatients Undergoing Alcohol Withdrawal Treatment

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2021
Introduction: Alcohol approach bias, the tendency to automatically move toward alcohol cues, has been observed in people who drink heavily. However, surprisingly, some alcohol-dependent patients demonstrate an alcohol avoidance bias.

High rates of alcohol consumption and related harm at schoolies week: a portal study

open access: yesAustralian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health, 2014
Objective: To investigate alcohol consumption, substance use and risky and harmful behaviour among young people attending ‘schoolies’ week in Victoria. Methods: Breathalyser tests and brief surveys (n=558) measuring alcohol, energy drink and illicit drug

Comparing rates and characteristics of emergency department presentations related to pharmaceutical opioid poisoning in Australia: a study protocol for a retrospective observational study

open access: yesBMJ Open, 2020
Introduction and aims Pharmaceutical opioids are an important contributor to the global ‘opioid crisis’, and are implicated in 70% of Australia’s opioid-related mortality.

A structured telephone-delivered intervention to reduce problem alcohol use (Ready2Change): study protocol for a parallel group randomised controlled trial

open access: yesTrials, 2019
Background Current population surveys suggest around 20% of Australians meet diagnostic criteria for an alcohol use disorder. However, only a minority seek professional help due to individual and structural barriers, such as low health literacy, stigma ...

Surface profile prediction and analysis applied to turning process [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
An approach for the prediction of surface profile in turning process using Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural networks is presented. The input parameters of the RBF networks are cutting speed, depth of cut and feed rate.

Electrolyte and Water Balance of the Early Avian Embryo: Effects of Egg Turning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Formation of sub-embryonic fluid (SEF) is a key aspect of the physiology of the early avian embryo.Here we review the process of SEF formation and the factors which influence its composition and the rate of SEF production and depletion in the Japanese ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
