The final article, by S. G. Bell and G. A. Codd of the University of Dundee Department of Biological Services, is concerned with detection, analysis, and risk assessment of cyanobacterial toxins. These can be responsible for animal, fish, and bird deaths and for ill-health in humans. The occurrence of toxic cyanobacterial blooms and scums on nutrient-rich waters is a world-wide phenomenon and cases are cited from Australia, the USA, and China, as well as throughout Europe. The causes, indentification and assessment of risk, and establishment of criteria for controlling risk are discussed. 

The TGA in Australia, the MEB in the Netherlands and the Medicines Control Agency in Zimbabwe are financed entirely by the fees and charges they collect. Unlike the countries mentioned above, these dmg regulatory authorities have full powers to dispose of the revenue they collect. And because their financial viability depends on the revenue they generate, fees and charges reflect the real cost of services. 

Secondly, stmctural features in dmg regulation in countries operating a federal system of government affect the ability of the DRA to monitor dmg distribution throughout the entire country. In Australia, authority over distribution channels is fully delegated to the individual states. As a result, the TGA does not have the authority to assess and control the dmg distribution situation for the whole country. In contrast, the Pharmaceutical Services Division in Malaysia appoints a deputy director of health in each of its 13 states with power to issue licences, carry out inspections and submit reports. Under this arrangement, command and control may be exercised and an official channel established for information flow between the federal and state governments.

The cross-national prescribing database using the same methodology provided a useful and valid comparison of patterns of prescribing psychotropic medications in mental health services in Australia, Thailand, and Malaysia (Ng et al, submitted). The study was carried out in three outpatient mental health centres in North Western Mental Health (NWMH) in Melbourne (September to November 2002), Prince of Songkla University Hospital in Hat Yai (January to March 2003), and Hospital Kuala Lumpur (January to March 2003). The proportions of outpatients treated with a primary diagnosis of a psychotic illness were 91%, 41%, and 75% in the Australian, Thai, and Malaysian samples respectively. Considering psychotropic prescriptions in schizophrenia alone, the majority of patients were prescribed antipsychotics Australia (93.7%), Thailand (92.9%), and Malaysia (97.7%). 

Information on courses as well as articles and an archive of magazines. "Paracelsus College is an educational system dedicated to the living oral and experiential tradition of Alchemy applied in the service of Conscious Evolution. The Paracelsus College was founded by Frater Albertus Spagyricus (Dr. Albert Richard Riedel 1911 - 1984) in the U.S. in 1980 and Australia 1982. Prior to this it was known as the Paracelsus Research Society. The work of the College in the U.S. ceased after Frater Albert s passing but has continued in Australia"...

HAL [Hot acid leaching] A process for purifying silica sand or zircon by leaching out surface iron compounds with hot sulfuric acid. Derived from an earlier process, invented in 1955 by British Industrial Sand, in which silica sand was treated with hot, gaseous hydrogen chloride. The process for cleaning zircon sand was developed jointly by Hepworth Minerals Chemicals, UK, and Metallurgical Services Pty, Australia, in 1991. 

Subsequent to awarding the contract for the two chlor-alkali plants to Kvaerner Chemetics, Orica contracted with Kvaerner Process Australia to provide services for the chlor-paraffin plant and Outside Battery Limits activities associated with the new Melbourne site, as this would bring synergies to the total project as well as potential cost savings. 

Natural weathering (see Section 5.2.5) can be accelerated directly by exposure in a climate more severe than that expected in service. There are established test sites for this purpose in Australia and in the hotter states of the USA. The severity of exposure can also be maximised by arranging for the plane of the test pieces to automatically follow the sun. Another approach is to use a Fresnel mirror concentrating device that increases the intensity of sunlight falling on the test piece. These procedures are standardised in ISO 877 [25].

Harmonization of pharmacopeial standards as a practical matter began at the International Congresses of Pharmacy between 1865 and 1910 [2], but the first formal attempt can be traced to 1902. Both USP President Horatio C. Wood, M.D., and Frederick M. Power, Ph.D., an American chemist of the Wellcome Chemical Research Laboratories of London, were appointed by the U.S. Secretary of State as delegates to represent the United States government at the International Conference for the Unification of the Formulae for Heroic Medicines, a conference of 19 countries from Europe and North America [3]. The second conference occurred in 1918. The 3rd in 1925 was attended by 31 countries from all continents except Asia and Australia. They drafted a new International Convention, which came in force in 1929. It revised the 1902 agreements on 77 heroic medicines and introduced the concept of maximum dose. It also requested that the League of Nations create a permanent secretariat of pharmacopeias [4]. Andrew G. DuMez, Ph.D., represented the USP, and was officially appointed by the U.S. Public Health Service to represent the United States at this conference [4,5]. An expert committee of the League of Nations planned a third conference for 1938, but it was never convened because of World War II [2].

Australia and the EC have entered into a Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) on conformity assessment of medicinal products. The TGA will accept a certificate of GMP compliance of a manufacturer issued imder this MRA by the official inspection services of the EU countries. This follows on from Australia s work over many years with the Pharmaceutical Inspection Convention, now known as the PIC/S.

Perhaps someday I ll visit Norfolk Island to see the dream fish in person. My travel agent tells me that the island is serviced by two airlines, Norfolk Jet and Air New Zealand, with a travel time of two hours from Sydney. The next time you have a map handy, take a peek. The island is located in the South Pacific Ocean, east of Australia, and has a population of about 1,800. British attempts at establishing the island as a penal colony in the 19th century were ultimately abandoned. Most of the coastline consists of nearly inaccessible cliffs.
