It is still unclear what kind of radiation sources can lead to asymmetric reactions. Jeremy Bailey from the Anglo-Australian Observatory in Epping, Australia, investigated which astronomical objects could be considered radiation sources (Bailey et al., 1998 Bailey, 2001). It was possible in laboratory experiments to generate a small enantiomeric excess of some amino acids by using circularly polarized UV light (Norden, 1977). This asymmetric photolysis involves photochemical decomposition of both d- and L- enantiomers, but at different rates, so the more stable form tends to survive. This process must be subject to autocatalytic multiplication. 

At the end of 2003, new research results led to sensational headlines Minerals Cooked Up in the Laboratory Call Ancient Microfossils Into Question was the title chosen by Richard A. Kerr for his article in Science dealing with synthetically prepared silicate carbonates. Their microstructures show morphologies which look exactly like those of filaments which had been assigned as cyanobacterial microfossils of the Precambrian Warrawoona chert formation in western Australia. The synthetic structures consist of silicate-encapsulated carbonate crystals, and in part have a helically twisted morphology reminiscent of biological objects. Simple...

In August 2003, the Department of Health and Medicines Australia, representing the prescription medicines industry, commenced a joint review of the listing processes post-PBAC. The review s main objective was to advise on any necessary post-PBAC (pPBAC) changes. .. which would improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the entire process in order to achieve earliest possible subsidised access for consumers to cost-effective medicines, while minimising the regulatory burden on industry. ...

Australia also has abundant coal resources and focuses on coal gasification as part of its COAL 21 program, which includes research on carbon sequestration as part of the national clean coal strategy. The objective is that Australia s vast coal reserves would remain a long-term, secure and cost-effective source of energy, but rather than burn the coal power plants would gasify that coal and capture and sequester the CO2 in geological formations. 

Some computer programs draw the equiprobability circles at a selected confidence level. So it is possible to evaluate how close an imknown object is to a category in this way LDA approaches the modelling methods. Gilbert et al. used 95% confidence circles to show the separation between honeys from the United Kingdom, Australia, Argentina and Canada. 

Fluorite is a ubiquitous mineral and is so widespread in ils occurrence that only the most noteworthy can be mentioned. The English localities at Cumberland. Durham, and Weardale are world famous. Exceptionally heauiiful handed material of hlue fibrous character fruin Derbyshire, known as Blue-John, has been much-used for decorative curved pieces, such as vases and other ornamental objects. Norway has produced exceptional specimens from the famous Kongshcrg silver veins, as well as yttrium-rich fluorite from northern Norway associated with rare-earth minerals. Fine material has been obtained from the Transvaal in the Republic of South Africa, Tasmania and Australia. Large quantities of fluorite are mined in Mexico at Guadalcazar and Guanajuato. 

Standards Australia [23] has established AS/NZS ISO 14021 2000, Environmental Labels and Declarations - Self-Declared Environmental Claims (type II environmental labelling). This Standard is an adoption with national modifications of ISO 14021 1999 and it specifies requirements applying to the development of environmental claims, expressed in either words or symbols, about products and services. The objective of the standard is to harmonise the various national guidelines on environmental claims used on product labels and in marketing generally, in order to facilitate trade in the global marketplace and to improve consumer confidence in environmental claims. 

There has been a large increase in recent years in the application of SSDs in ecotoxi-cology, as evidenced by the recent SETAC (Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry) book by Posthuma et al. (2002). This approach is being or will shortly be applied in the European Union, Australia, United States, and Canada, with a general movement (where possible) toward the use of ECx in preference to the historical use of AFs and NOECs in deterministic PNEC calculations. The toxicity endpoint used will depend on the objective. For deriving a MAC-EQS, LC(EC)50 data are appropriate, while chronic NOECs (or preferably chronic ECx values, where available) are applicable for AA-EQSs. 

Finally, C. J. Easton, C. M. M. Hughes, G. P. Savage, and G. W. Simpson (Adelaide and Melbourne, Australia) review the cycloaddition reactions of nitrile oxides with alkenes. Although previous reviews of this subject have appeared, the synthetic potential of this reaction has recently been the object of intensive study. 

The primary objective of the meeting must be the enhancement of medical knowledge and the quality use of medicines in Australia. 

The objectives of clinical pharmacy are stated and defined and three key points are worth attention. The emphasis of the definition was to stress that patient care must be the focus of clinical practice. Reference was made to quality use of medicines as this is one of the four central objectives of the National Medicines Policy in Australia.Educational and research activities were included in the definition to demonstrate that these are core clinical pharmacy activities. 

The most extreme way of ensuring that economic evaluations are undertaken and that the results affect service delivery is to make economic appraisal a compulsory part of the process of getting the intervention approved for practice. Several countries have made attempts to achieve this objective, with varying degrees of success. These countries include Australia, Canada, The Netherlands and the UK. For the purposes of this chapter we have chosen to focus on the approaches of the home countries of the two authors, namely Canada and the UK.
