- ItemThe Alligator Rivers area fact finding study: four AAEC reports(Australian Atomic Energy Commission, 1974-06) Conway, NF; Davy, DR; Giles, MS; Newton, PJF; Pollard, DAThe work described in this series of reports is part of the Joint Government-Industry Fact Finding Study carried out in the 'Uranium Province' of the Alligator Rivers Area, Northern Territory, during 1971—73. The primary objective was to determine the sensitivity of the existing environment to the range of potential pollutants arising from a uranium extractive industry. A comprehensive ichthyography is given of species collected in the area. Results are reported of experimental and bioassay studies on selected flora and fauna exposed to heavy metals, raffinate and Alamine-336. Studies are also recorded on the chemical and radiological qualities of natural waters, the solubility of uranium in sediments, and the fate of dissolved trace elements in the drainage systems. The radiological aspects of the area are discussed with specific reference to exposure routes, bit ogical concentration factors, and the significance of natural and man made changes in levels of radiation to man and other biota in the region. Radon levels in costeans, core-sheds and bore water are recorded and discussed.
- ItemDown but never out - the mathematics and computation of exponentials arising in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology,...(Australian Atomic Energy Commission, 1975-12) Newton, PJFThese notes are for a summer school which will introduce mathematically minded year 12 high school students to scientific computing covering a variety of scientific disciplines. All of the disciplines concentrate on examples that follow the basic exponential behaviour of two coupled first order differential equations. The various problems pursued are from the disciplines of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and include consideration of other exponential processes such as competing population problems such as between sharks and little fishes. Much of the course is devoted to electronic computing. The student (a) will set up a digital computer for the least squares problem, and (b) will use an analogue computer to study competing exponential processes.
