Request for production of documents – UCPR r 222 – manner of compliance

In John Kallinicos Accountants Pty Ltd v Dundrenan Pty Ltd [2009] QDC 141 Irwin DCJ considered the nature of a party’s obligation under r 222 of the Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 1999 (Qld) (UCPR) to produce documents referred to in the parties’ pleadings, particulars or affidavits. The decision examined whether the approach in Belela Pty Ltd v Menzies Excavation Pty Ltd [2005] 2 QdR 230 in relation to disclosure of documents under UCPR r 214 also applied to production of documents under r 222.

Radon-222 activity flux measurement using activated charcoal canisters: Revisiting the methodology

The measurement of radon ((222)Rn) activity flux using activated charcoal canisters was examined to investigate the distribution of the adsorbed (222)Rn in the charcoal bed and the relationship between (222)Rn activity flux and exposure time. The activity flux of (222)Rn from five sources of varying strengths was measured for exposure times of one, two, three, five, seven, 10, and 14 days. The distribution of the adsorbed (222)Rn in the charcoal bed was obtained by dividing the bed into six layers and counting each layer separately after the exposure. (222)Rn activity decreased in the layers that were away from the exposed surface. Nevertheless, the results demonstrated that only a small correction might be required in the actual application of charcoal canisters for activity flux measurement, where calibration standards were often prepared by the uniform mixing of radium ((226)Ra) in the matrix. This was because the diffusion of (222)Rn in the charcoal bed and the detection efficiency as a function of the charcoal depth tended to counterbalance each other. The influence of exposure time on the measured (222)Rn activity flux was observed in two situations of the canister exposure layout: (a) canister sealed to an open bed of the material and (b) canister sealed over a jar containing the material. The measured (222)Rn activity flux decreased as the exposure time increased. The change in the former situation was significant with an exponential decrease as the exposure time increased. In the latter case, lesser reduction was noticed in the observed activity flux with respect to exposure time. This reduction might have been related to certain factors, such as absorption site saturation or the back diffusion of (222)Rn gas occurring at the canister-soil interface.

Photodissociation dynamics of CH2ICl at 222, 236, 266, 280, and-304 nm

Dynamics of I*(P-2(1/2)) formation from CH2ICl dissociation has-been investigated at five different ultraviolet excitation wavelengths, e.g., 222, 236, 266, 280, and similar to304 nm. The quantum yield of I*((2)p(1/2)) production, phi*, has been measured by monitoring nascent I(P-2(3/2)) and I* concentrations using a resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization detection scheme. The measured quantum yield as a function of excitation energy follows the same trend as that of methyl iodide except at 236 run. The photodissociation dynamics of CH2ICl also involves three upper states similar to methyl iodide, and a qualitative correlation diagram has been constructed to account for the observed quantum yield. From the difference in behavior at 236 nm, it appears that the crossing region between the two excited states ((3)Q(0) and (1)Q(1)) is located near the exit valley away from the Franck Condon excitation region. The B- and C-band transitions do not participate in the dynamics, and the perturbation of the methyl iodide states due to Cl-I interaction is relatively weak at the photolysis wavelengths employed in this investigation.

Diário da Constituinte [gravação de vídeo] : [programa n. 222]

Muitos constituintes e representantes de entidades compareceram ao Instituto Israel Pinheiro, onde está sendo discutido o texto do novo anteprojeto, levando diversas sugestões. José Machado C. Filho, Secretário de Fazenda de São Paulo, gostaria que os pontos sobre a área tributária fossem mantidos. João Gilberto Pacífico, representante da Associação dos Delegados de Polícia, reivindica mudanças no substitutivo, em relação a supervisão de inquérito policial pelo Ministério Público. O Grupo dos Progressistas da Assembleia Nacional Constituinte (ANC), considerando-se marginalizado das discussões do anteprojeto, leva 300 emendas, todas apresentadas em conjunto. O Deputado Nelton Friedrich (PMDB-PR) informa que a questão mineral é fundamental para o país e espera que só as empresas eminentemente nacionais possam explorá-las. Ele cita ainda outros temas importantes: justiça militar, direitos dos trabalhadores, defensoria do povo e tribunal constitucional. O Deputado José Genoíno (PT-SP) diz que observará se as emendas apresentadas serão acolhidas. O Deputado Haroldo Lima (PC do B-BA) reclama que o anteprojeto, da forma como está sendo elaborado, não será aceito pelos progressistas. O Relator da Comissão de Sistematização da Assembleia Nacional Constituinte (ANC), Deputado Bernardo Cabral (PMDB-AM) relata que a decisão cabe somente a ele. Os reitores das universidades querem que a nova Constituição destine uma parte do orçamento do país para a educação, que é a base da Emenda João Calmon. Rodolfo Pinto da Luz, Presidente do Conselho de Reitores, afirma que não se pode continuar convivendo com a existência de 30 milhões de analfabetos, com apenas 19% dos estudantes concluindo a escolaridade obrigatória e com oito milhões de crianças sem acesso à escola. O Deputado Osvaldo Sobrinho (PMDB-MT) acredita que o Estado deve auxiliar as escolas confessionais. Sobre o tema educação, o texto do anteprojeto já está definido, inclusive os percentuais das receitas que serão aplicadas no ensino. A Deputada Sandra Cavalcanti (PFL-RJ) esclarece que o anteprojeto manteve os princípios de que o ensino fundamental é responsabilidade do Estado, que os recursos públicos irão preferencialmente para as escolas públicas.

Análise das Portarias Interministeriais nº 221 e 222 : Execução das programações decorrentes de Emendas Individuais em 2015 : Orçamento Impositivo - art. 56 da LDO 2015 –Lei nº 13.080, de 2/1/2015

O Congresso pode ser reunir para votar o pacote fiscal. A ideia de convocação extraordinária para votar a reforma tributária do governo é do Constituinte Carlos Chiarelli. Constituintes buscam acordos e negociações para mudança no regimento interno da Constituinte.

Effects of 2-phenoxy ethanol and MS-222 on milkfish fingerlings (Chanos chanos) as anaesthetic agents

An experiment was undertaken in order to determine an adequate anaesthetic and optimum concentrations for use in the handling of fingerling milkfish (Chanos chanos). The compounds 2-phenoxy ethanol and MS-222 were investigated. Results show the latter to be adequate with optimum concentrations between 100 and 200 ppm.

Liquid-liquid extraction of Pa-233(V) with Aliquat 336

The extraction of protactinium with Aliquat 336 (methyl-tri-caprylyl ammonium chloride) in toluene, cyclohexane and chloroform from HCl, HNO3, H2SO4, HClO4, HF and mixed HCl-HF media was investigated by radioactive tracer technique. Distribution ratios of protactinium between the aqueous solution and the organic phase were determined as a function of shaking time, concentrations of acid in aqueous solution phase, extractant concentration and type of diluents in the organic phase. Aliquat 336 can almost quantitatively extract protactinium from strong HCl solution. At the same time, small amounts of HF in HCl solutions have a strong effect on Pa distribution.

The masses and radii of HD 186753B and TYC7096-222-1B: the discovery of two M-dwarfs that eclipse A-type stars

We present observations of two new single-lined eclipsing binaries, both consisting of an Am star and an M-dwarf, discovered by the Wide Angle Search for Planets transit photometry survey. Using WASP photometry and spectroscopic measurements we find that HD 186753B has an orbital period of P=1.9194 days, a mass of M=0.24±0.02~M? and radius of R=0.31+0.06-0.06~R?; and that TCY7096-222-1B has an orbital period of P=8.9582 days, a mass of between 0.29 and 0.54 M? depending on eccentricity and radius of R=0.263+0.02-0.07~R?. We find that the Am stars have relatively low rotational velocities that closely match the orbital velocities of the M-dwarfs, suggesting that they have been “spun-down” by the M-dwarfs.
