Knotted wire fences are fabricated on specialised machines. The input material is typically galvanised steel wire. However, the quality of the input wire used by the Fence Producer is beyond control of the Machine Manufacturer. The problem is that wire strand breakages have been reported during fabrication and subsequent field erection. This is an issue for the Fence Producer because of the los...

The rotunda has been given a good spring clean so that with its new furniture it is a much more cheerful and inviting space for campers to gather. Neil and Kaye have also been busy upgrading the fencing and adding a pedestrian access gate onto Surfers Walk as well as creating a storage area for boats. They have made a start on the garden beds but know that more time is needed to be devoted to t...

A 2-stratified graph G is a graph whose vertex set has been partitioned into two subsets, called the strata or color classes of G. Two 2-stratified graphs G and H are isomorphic if there exists a color-preserving isomorphism φ from G to H. A 2-stratified graph G is said to be homogeneously embedded in a 2-stratified graph H if for every vertex x of G and every vertex y of H, where x and y are c...

This study was designed to investigate the effects of three countermeasures--landscaping, building a fence and prohibitive signs--on the frequency of trespassing, which in this case means crossing the track at places where it is forbidden. At each location the official route was no more than 300 m away. The main results showed that the effect of each countermeasure on the frequency of trespassi...

Five streams in catchments with pastoral dairy farming as the dominant land useweremonitored for periods of 7–16 years to detect changes in response to adoption of best management practices (BMPs). Stream water quality was degraded at the start with respect to N, P, suspended solids (SS) and E. coli concentrations, and was typical of catchments with intensive pastoral agriculture land use. Tren...
