Field experiments are set up to investigate changes in dormancy and seedbank life of the resistant populations over a three year period. After determining the herbicide resistance spectrum of the resistant biotypes, genetic crosses between resistant and susceptible plants are performed to follow the mode of inheritance of acetolactate synthase (ALS) resistance. "In vitro" ALS enzyme assays in the presence of various herbicides are carried out to reveal a modified ALS enzyme as the main mechanism of resistance in all cases. A molecular investigation of the ALS gene is performed to identify mutations responsible for endowing a resistant enzyme. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Crop Protection, 1996

The study determines whether the provision of attractive flowers increases the suppressive effect of syrphids on rose aphids and analyses some ecological and biological aspects of two syrphid species -- Melangyana viridiceps (Macquart) and Simosyrphus grandicornis (Macquart) -- in a Mediteranean climate to obtain a better understanding of their biological control potential. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Crop Protection, 1997

Questions the value of previous Australian hearing studies, which were based on self-reported disability. The quality-of-life study which compared scores for the hearing impaired with people suffering other chronic conditions, and a control group, shows that the severe hearing impaired group had quality-of-life scores below that of the control group and the norm for the population. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Community Medicine, 1997

The second is to consider the influence of students' English language proficiency upon their academic and clinical performance. The thesis puts forward recommendations for future teaching and learning strategies and research opportunities in the medical education arena. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Psychiatry, 1998

The main aim of the research was to examine the idea that the sex phenotypes of this species differ in their palatability to sheep, and to characterise some of the temporal and spatial features of the phenomenon. Intensive small-plot dietary trials, supported by a paddock dietary experiment, cross-fence comparisons and cafeteria trials, showed that sheep preferentially grazed female saltbushes over male and bisexual ones. Sheep avoided male saltbushes due to a chemical deterrent, and used visual (male flower spike) and olfactory cues to detect male plants. The effect of this selective grazing was to reduce the size and reproductive output of female shrubs. Sheep also tended to return to shrubs they had grazed previously. In the semi-arid regions of South Australia, where bladder saltbush is grazed year-round, physical protection is recommended to maximise survival and reproductive output of heavily grazed shrubs. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Depts. of Environmental Science & Management and Botany, 1999?
