Abstract: An unconventional apparatus, described in detail, determines, through a measured small volume increment, the temperature dependence of the second virial coefficient of a vapour without the necessity for isothermal expansion. Absolute pressure determinations are avoided by working differentially, vapour against nitrogen reference gas. Results for n-butane at 0-150� agree with established work.

Abstract: This paper describes a project to record specialised oral histories of key in iduals involved with Australia’s principal scientific research organisation, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). The oral histories are intended to complement official governance documents in a larger project to write a history of CSIRO. Oral histories typically include perspectives on family backgrounds and childhood, professional training and career histories. Of particular interest in these interviews is the involvement of interviewees in the management of CSIRO and their reflections on the place of CSIRO in the Australian and international scientific environments. The interviews were conducted mainly by two of the authors (Spurling and Healy), both of whom were well known to the interviewees because they were themselves senior managers in CSIRO and familiar with the topics discussed. These histories are intended to illuminate important personal factors that have influenced decision-making in CSIRO. Also covered are plans to use other collections of interview materials in the CSIRO History Project (CHP), including those conducted by CSIRO historian Boris Schedvin, the Australian Academy of Science and the National Library of Australia. Details are provided of preparations for interviews, recording and transcription and preparation of materials for public access through CSIROpedia.

Abstract: The thermodynamic properties of the krypton/graphite interface have been evaluated by the grand canonical ensemble Monte Carlo method. Submonolayer adsorption isotherms have been calculated at temperatures of 77.31, 84.11 and 90.12 K, together with particle distribution functions, surface pressures and isosteric heats of adsorption. The results are compared with experiment and discussed in relation to the existence of surface phase transitions. The Monte Carlo adsorptions were used to check the error in assuming Henry's law adsorption at low pressure.

Abstract: Our molecular modeling software package, MORPHEUS, allows the study of the interactions between biologically active molecules and their receptors. The package is capable of exploring the multidimensional conformational space accessible to each molecule of the data set under study. By specifying distance constraints or hypothetical receptor binding points, the package is able to filter the biologically accessible conformations of each active compound and deduce a three-dimensional model of the binding sites consistent with the properties of the agonists (or antagonists) under scrutiny. The electrostatic potentials in the environment of a putative binding site can also be investigated using the MORPHEUS package. The molecular modeling module CRYS-X, which is written in FORTRAN 77 for IBM PC machines, is capable of building, displaying and manipulating molecules.

Abstract: The idea that cannabis is a ‘gateway drug’ to more harmful substances such as opioids is highly controversial, yet has substantially impacted policy, education and how we conceptualize substance use. Given a rise in access to cannabis products and opioid‐related harm, the current study aimed to conduct the first systematic review and meta‐analysis on the likelihood of transitioning from cannabis use to subsequent first‐time opioid use, opioid use disorders (OUD), dependence or abuse. Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, pubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, EMBASE, PsychINFO, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and Informit Health Collection were searched for full‐text articles assessing the likelihood of transitioning from cannabis to subsequent opioid use, and from opioid use to OUD, abuse or dependence given prior cannabis use. Analysis of subpopulations within studies were discussed narratively, and E‐values were calculated to assess the potential influence of unmeasured confounding. Six studies provided relevant data from the United States, Australia and New Zealand between 1977 and 2017, a total s le of 102 461 participants. Random‐effects analysis of the adjusted pooled effect size indicates that the likelihood of transitioning from cannabis to opioid use, relative to non‐cannabis users, is odds ratio (OR) = 2.76, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.26–3.36, whereas the likelihood of transitioning from opioid use to OUD, abuse or dependence given prior cannabis use is OR = 2.52, 95% CI = 1.65–3.84. While the evidence was determined to be of low quality with moderate risk of bias, E‐values suggest that these findings are robust against unmeasured confounding. A systematic review and meta‐analysis found that while people who use cannabis are disproportionately more likely to initiate opioid use and engage in problematic patterns of use than people who do not use cannabis, the low quality of the evidence must be considered when interpreting these findings.

Abstract: In this paper we give the results of computing the third virial coefficient and the cohesive energy of the crystal for argon taking into account the higher-order multipole terms in the long-range three- body interaction as recently calculated by Bell. The Barker-Pompe potential has been used as the two-body potential function. We find that the third virial coefficient values for argon computed with this more complete non-additive energy function agree very much better with the experimental values than when only the triple-dipole term is used. This is particularly true at lower temperatures. The results also show that better agreement would be obtained if some form of repulsive non- ad ity were included in the computation. For the cohesive energy of the crystal we find that the dipole-dipole-quadrupole energy is one-third as large as the triple-dipole energy and so cannot be neglected in these lattice computations. Furthermore, we find that these higher- order three-body forces do not stabilize the face-centred-cubic lattice for argon, the hexagonal-close-packed lattice having a slightly lower energy.

Abstract: The integrals appropriate to the classical second virial coefficient for a molecule obeying a spherical-shell central potential and including either a dipole moment or a quadrupole moment are calculated for a wide range of values of r0*, T*. The functions Hk(r0*, T*) are available for k=6, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, and 24. The results are used to investigate the intermolecular forces in methyl chloride and benzene. In both cases a significant improvement in fit with experimental data is noted upon inclusion of multipolar forces. For benzene, treated as an axial molecule, a quadrupole moment Θzz of ±15×10−26 esu is deduced.

Abstract: The Hamann-Lambert model for globular molecules using Lennard-Jones 12- 6 potential functions for the atomic interactions has been used to obtain second virial coefficients for CH4, CF4, SF6, SiF4, CMe4, SiMe4, and the mixtures CH4-CF4, CH4-SF6, CH4-CMe4, CH4-SiMe4, and CF4-SF6. Additive third virial coefficients have been computed where experimental data are available. Of the 18 parameter sets needed for the 12-6 interactions in the above molecules and their combinations ten were obtained by a least-squares fitting process using experimental values of second virial coefficients, five were obtained from combining rules, and the remaining three from sources independent of virial coefficient data. The computed values of the virial coefficients agree well with the experimental data although in the case of the third virial coefficients improved agreement would be obtained if some form of non-additivity could be allowed for.

Abstract: The tacticity of poly(methyl methacrylate ) prepared by free-radical polymerization has been determined by analysing the carbonyl region of the 13C n.m.r . spectrum. This analysis demonstrates that the addition of poly(methyl methacrylyl ) radical to methyl methacrylate in benzene at 60°C is subject to a significant penpenultimate unit effect. The probability of forming a meso dyad is some 20% less if the preceding dyad in the chain is also meso . The polymerization (60°C, benzene) is described by the following parameters P(m) = 0.202, P(m|m) = 0.159, P(r | m) = 0.212.

Abstract: A grand ensemble Monte Carlo procedure is used to examine the thermodynamic properties of a crystal-like layer of krypton adsorbed at sub-monolayer coverages on graphite at 90.12 K. The effect of the periodic boundary conditions on these properties is discussed and used to develop a thermodynamically consistent iterative procedure to estimate the transition pressure and thereby fix the adsorption isotherm.

Abstract: A modified Loschmidt apparatus for the measurement of the diffusion thermoeffect as a function of pressure is described. Measurements are reported for H2–Ar, H2–CO2, and H2–CH4 for pressures between 1 and 20 atm at room temperature. The experimental results have been explained semiquantitatively in terms of the pressure dependence of the relevant transport coefficients and their first composition derivatives. Terms arising because of the nonideality of the gases are also included in the phenomenological description. Relative values of diffusion coefficients for the three systems determined from the measurements are in good agreement with those determined by other methods, and the effect of pressure on the diffusion thermoeffect parallels the pressure dependence of the thermal diffusion factor as determined from gas-unmixing measurements. Suggestions are made for the future use of the method in determining other transport coefficients.

Abstract: Two series of experiments on gaseous diffusion instabilities are reported. In one series the convection cells are made visible with ammonium chloride smoke the observed behavior appears quite complex. In the other series the stability limits in osmotic diffusion are investigated as a function of pressure and composition for H2−CH4−CO2. Reasonable agreement is obtained with a stability theory based on Rayleigh's treatment of thermal convection.

Abstract: Women experience numerous forms of discrimination in the workplace, both direct and indirect. Historically, bias against women was institutionalised by organisations and governments to keep women from pursuing long-term careers in science and remain in the home. Although changes to policy have occurred within Australia, societal perceptions around women in science have proven resistant to change, with discrimination continuing even today. Despite the barriers facing them, some women were able to break through and achieve impactful science, proving themselves vital members of the workforce and paving the way for future generations. Herein, we describe four such female chemist trailblazers, Isabel Joy Bear, Enid Plante, Catherine Anne Money and Annabelle Duncan, who each worked at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) or the subsequent Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and helped to shape the face of chemistry in Australia in a male dominated environment.

Abstract: Gas viscosity data for nine quadrupolar molecules are analyzed using calculated collision integrals for the 12–6−5 potential. The parameters of the spherical component of the potential are obtained from the viscosity data, and then used in conjunction with second virial coefficient data to determine the quadrupole moments and ``shape'' parameters of the molecules. The quadrupole moments obtained are very reasonable, and further improvement along these lines will probably depend on a better understanding of the nonspherical components of the repulsive part of the potential.

Abstract: CSIRO’s role in Australian innovation has evolved over the years in response to changes in the external environment and within Australia’s national innovation system. The process of organisational change has been characterised by a series of restructurings—in 1978, 1988, 1996 and 2001—and accompanying shifts in the organisation’s strategic directions. In this paper we look at the process of organisational change in an historical context, looking at the evolving external environment, the legislative and management background, and the shifts in the organisation’s strategic directions. The change process is interpreted from a punctuated equilibrium perspective. We propose that discontinuous, rather than continuous change, is the way that a complex and ersified organisation like CSIRO adjusts to a changing external environment and, moreover, that independent public reviews have an important role in this process. In the light of major changes in the Australian and scientific landscapes over the past two decades we suggest it is time to look again at CSIRO’s role and the sustainability of its internal management arrangements.

Abstract: The primary function of CSIR, founded in 1926, was to promote primary and secondary industries in Australia. In its first decade, CSIR developed a successful model for delivering research of benefit to the primary sector. The period from the late 1930s was characterised by the expansion of CSIR, notably into secondary-industry research, and its wide-ranging and effective response to the industry and government demands during the Second World War. In the post-war years CSIR placed increasing emphasis on longer term, underlying research, as the way to benefit Australian industry. This shift raised problems for technology transfer to the secondary industry sector it also shaped the agenda of CSIR’s successor organisation, CSIRO, in the decades after its formation in 1949.

Abstract: In this paper we give the results of computing the effect of non-additivity of long range forces on the fourth virial coefficient of a Lennard-Jones 12-6 gas. We have considered only dipolar effects but have included all terms up to the fourth order of perturbation theory. We have also calculated the effect of the fourth-order triple-dipole term on the third virial coefficient. For the fourth virial coefficient we find that the dispersion non-additivity, while being positive at low reduced temperatures, goes through a negative minimum at a reduced temperature of about 1.25 before becoming small and positive at high temperatures. This is in contradistinction to the behaviour of the third virial co-efficient where the dispersion non-additivity is always positive.

Abstract: A Monte Carlo simulation study of the force between two adsorbing walls is described. The adsorbate is in equilibrium with either a bulk gas or a liquid phase. The force is correlated with the adsorption, singlet and radial distribution functions, all of which vary with the distance of separation of the walls, when this is of the order of a few atomic diameters. When the bulk phase is a gas, a new type of surface transition occurs in which the distance of wall separation is one of the determining degrees of freedom.

Abstract: In the first decade of the twenty-first century, CSIRO’s role broadened toward national mission-oriented research, less directly focused on supporting Australian industry. In terms of its legislated mandate, it deliberately placed increased emphasis on ‘contributing to the achievement of national objectives’ and less emphasis on ‘assisting Australian industry’. This change was accompanied by an organisational restructuring with the introduction of a national flagships' research program and a matrix management structure. We analyse this process of change and the reasons behind it and we investigate the effects of the new approach on CSIRO’s relationship with industry, and its technology transfer activities. While there was continuity in its commercial performance, the pattern of CSIRO’s client-directed research changed substantially, with a reduction in manufacturing-related research, and a notable growth in health- and environment-related research, in the main part for government agencies and departments. By the end of the decade the organisation had established a clear role for itself in the national innovation system, in which its relationship with Australian industry was no longer the dominant feature. It was a disruptive decade for CSIRO, but one in which the organisation demonstrated its capacity to adapt to a changing external environment.

Abstract: Numerical integration has been used as a means of simulating the title polymerization so that the variation of molecular weight and molecular weight distribution with reaction time (conversion) can be evaluated. The time/conversion dependence of the polydispersity (R) has been evaluated as a function of the relative magnitude of the rate constants associated with the initiation/termination equilibria . It is shown that the short term behaviour of R and the rate of approach to the value (R = 4/3) predicted by the steady state treatment have a marked dependence on the choice of rate constants.

Abstract: Second virial coefficients have been determined for carbon disulphide, methyl chloride, acetone, and methanol over the temperature range of 50-150� with some additional results at lower temperatures. Similar work has been conducted on the selected mixtures methyl chloride-carbon disulphide, methyl chloride-acetone, acetone-carbon disulphide, and methyl chloride-argon. Methanol, exceptionally, shows very significant third virial contributions in the sub-atmospheric pressure range. A comparison is made with recent models pertaining to molecular interactions between unlike molecules possessing dipolar and quadrupolar contributions to the intermolecular forces.

Abstract: There is a substantial literature finding that moderate alcohol consumption is protective against certain health conditions. However, more recent research has highlighted the possibility that these findings are methodological artefacts, caused by confounding and other biases. While modern analytical and study design approaches can mitigate confounding and thus enhance causal inference in observational studies, they are not routinely applied in research assessing the relationship between alcohol use and long-term health outcomes. The purpose of this systematic review is to identify observational studies that employ these analytical/design-based approaches in assessing whether relationships between alcohol consumption and health outcomes are non-linear. This review seeks to evaluate, on a per-outcome basis, what these studies find the strength and form of the relationship between alcohol consumption and health to be. Electronic databases (MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Embase and SCOPUS) were searched in May 2020. Study selection will comply with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Articles will be screened against eligibility criteria intended to capture studies using observational data to assess the relationship between varying levels of alcohol exposure and any long-term health outcome (actual or surrogate), and that have employed at least one of the prespecified approaches to enhancing causal inference. Risk of bias of included articles will be assessed using study design-specific tools. A narrative synthesis of the results is planned. Formal ethics approval is not required given there will be no primary data collection. The results of the study will be disseminated through published manuscripts, conferences and seminar presentations. CRD42020185861.

Abstract: Vapour pressure measurements were made by a transpiration method for molten zinc chloride and molten mixtures of this salt with sodium and potassium chlorides, respectively. Activities of zinc chloride in the mixtures were calculated and from these values, those of the alkali chloride were calculated by Gibbs-Duhem integration. For this purpose a convenient computer method has been devised. Although the large deviations of activity and activity coefficients qualitatively support independent evidence that complex ions are formed in these systems, the results cannot quantitatively be explained using a calculation due to Braunstein in terms of interactions in the melt to form complex ions of a unique type, e.g. ZnCl3- or ZnCl42- etc. This indicates that the departure from ideal behaviour needs to be explained by a more detailed theory.

Abstract: Collision integrals are tabulated for the spherical shell potential over a range of reduced temperatures from 0.2 to 10.0, for a range of core sizes from 1.20 to 4.0 The results are compared with those obtained for other bireciprocal potential models and the Kihara core model. Potential parameters are deduced from gas viscosity data and compared with those obtained from second virial data alone. The viscosities agree for most models over a rather wide temperature range however, the thermal-diffusion factors show marked differences especially at low and at high temperatures.

Abstract: The necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of critical points ( azeotropic compositions) in multicomponent copolymerization are defined, and the preferred method for calculating critical points for a given set of reactivity ratios is provided. This method offers considerable advantages in both simplicity and computation speed over methods already in the literature. A computer program for performing the calculation on systems with up to 10 components is briefly described. Approximate probabilities for the existence of critical points in ternary and quaternary systems have been evaluated as a function of whether binary critical points exist for pairs of the monomers involved. These data show that, contrary to the widely held view, in systems of three or more components all rij 1 or all rij 1is neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition for the existence of a critical point. Those systems which always and those systems which never give rise to critical points are indicated.

Abstract: Participating in the repair of nuclear DNA is one mechanism by which p53 suppresses tumorigenesis, but there is growing evidence that p53 also helps maintain the mitochondrial genome through its translocation into mitochondria and interactions with mtDNA repair proteins. Because of the susceptibility of mtDNA to oxidative damage and replication errors, it is vital to protect mtDNA genomic stability to preserve health and fitness. Here, we focus on reviewing the evidence for the involvement of p53 in maintaining the integrity of mtDNA through its activities in both the nucleus and the mitochondria.

Abstract: Additive third virial coefficients for a spherical-shell potential have been computed for varying shell sizes corresponding to r0*=1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, and 4.0, and a temperature range 0.4& T*& .0. In addition, the first quadrupolar correction has been computed for this model. The resulting expressions are compared with experiment for seven globular molecules employing force constants deduced independently from second virial data alone. For the simpler substances the spherical-shell and Lennard-Jones (12–6) models are about equally useful in representing the data. For the truly globular molecules, however, the spherical-shell potential is a marked improvement, although Cadd alone is insufficient to represent the data. Corrections for nonadditive forces are discussed briefly and qualitatively. An argument is made to show that such corrections to spherical-shell results for globular molecules can be expected to improve the fit, whereas similar corrections to Lennard-Jones (12–6) may not. For the case of benzene we have estimated the quadrupolar correction to Cadd and shown that its inclusion seems necessary if three-body forces are to improve agreement with experiment.

Abstract: The octopole moments for methane and carbon tetrafluoride have been estimated from the temperature dependence of second virial coefficients. The central potential employed was the spherical shell model for which the force constants were derived from the temperature dependence of gas viscosity on the assumption that the octopole moment had no measurable effect on the viscosity. The values obtained for the moments, defined as Ω = (5 / 2) Σieixiyizi, were: methane, ± 3.7 × 10−34 esu·cm3 and carbon tetrafluoride, ± 13.7 × 10−34 esu·cm3.

Abstract: The increased engagement of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) with Australian industry from the early 1980s to the late 1990s marks it as an unusual era for CSIRO. The reasons lie in CSIRO’s response to the economic and political background of the time and to government moves to reinvigorate the industrial sector. By the end of the century, external pressures for industry engagement had receded as macroeconomic conditions improved and Australian industry ersified. The engagement can be seen in the growth of direct contacts between CSIRO and research users and Australian companies that occurred across the organisation. This paper analyses CSIRO’s technology transfer policies and practices within an economic and political context and addresses two questions: why did the organisation’s approach to technology transfer change and how? We look at three mini-eras in the 1980s and 1990s and draw out major changes in technology transfer during these two decades.

Abstract: Pairwise additive third virial coefficients for axially symmetric multipolar molecules have been calculated using a non-product multidimensional integration formula. Results for the Stockmayer potential agree with the corrected results of Rowlinson. It is found that the inclusion of the dipole-quadrupole and quadrupole-quadrupole terms in the potential function has a marked qualitative effect on the shape of the C-T curve. Values of the third virial coefficient for water vapour calculated using a potential function derived from gaseous viscosity and second virial coefficient data are in good agreement with the experimental values.

Abstract: A series expansion for the second virial coefficient of the spherical shell potential is used to show that this model, in contrast to the Kihara model, does not inadvertently include terms which can represent contributions due to multipolar interactions.

Abstract: The Science and Industry Endowment Fund (SIEF) was established in 1926 by the passage in the Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia of the Science and Industry Endowment Act at the same time as the Science and Industry Research Act established the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research. The SIEF played a major role in funding the training of Australian research workers from 1926 to 1950 and funded much of the research carried out in Australian universities in the pre-war period. This paper documents the activities of the SIEF from its inception in 1926 until inflation eroded the value of the Fund in the 1970s. The Fund was later reinvigorated by the injection of $150 million by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation between 2009 and 2010.

Abstract: We describe a method of partial moments devised for accurate simulation of the time/conversion evolution of polymer composition and molar mass. Expressions were derived that enable rigorous evaluation of the complete molar mass and composition distribution for shorter chain lengths (e.g., degree of polymerization, Xn = N 200 units) while longer chains (Xn ≥ 200 units) are not neglected, rather they are explicitly considered in terms of partial moments of the molar mass distribution, μxN(P)=∑n=N+1∞nx[Pn] (where P is a polymeric species and n is its’ chain length). The methodology provides the exact molar mass distribution for chains Xn N, allows accurate calculation of the overall molar mass averages, the molar mass dispersity and standard deviations of the distributions, provides closure to what would otherwise be an infinite series of differential equations, and reduces the stiffness of the system. The method also allows for the inclusion of the chain length dependence of the rate coefficients associated with the various reaction steps (in particular, termination and propagation) and the various side reactions that may complicate initiation or initialization. The method is particularly suited for the detailed analysis of the low molar mass portion of molar mass distributions of polymers formed by radical polymerization with reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) and is relevant to designing the RAFT-synthesis of sequence-defined polymers. In this paper, we successfully apply the method to compare the behavior of thermally initiated (with an added dialkyldiazene initiator) and photo-initiated (with a RAFT agent as a direct photo-iniferter) RAFT-single-unit monomer insertion (RAFT-SUMI) and oligomerization of N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAm).

Abstract: A search is presented for physics beyond the standard model, based on measurements of dijet angular distributions in proton–proton collisions at $$\\sqrt{s}=13\\hbox {TeV}$$ s = 13 TeV . The data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 $$\\,\\text {fb}^{-1}$$ fb - 1 . The observed distributions, corrected to particle level, are found to be in agreement with predictions from perturbative quantum chromodynamics that include electroweak corrections. Constraints are placed on models containing quark contact interactions, extra spatial dimensions, quantum black holes, or dark matter, using the detector-level distributions. In a benchmark model where only left-handed quarks participate, contact interactions are excluded at the 95% confidence level up to a scale of 12.8 or 17.5TeV, for destructive or constructive interference, respectively. The most stringent lower limits to date are set on the ultraviolet cutoff in the Arkani–Hamed–Dimopoulos–Dvali model of extra dimensions. In the Giudice–Rattazzi–Wells convention, the cutoff scale is excluded up to 10.1TeV. The production of quantum black holes is excluded for masses below 5.9 and 8.2TeV, depending on the model. For the first time, lower limits between 2.0 and 4.6TeVare set on the mass of a dark matter mediator for (axial-)vector mediators, for the universal quark coupling $$g_{\\mathrm {\\mathrm {q}}} =1.0$$ g q = 1.0 .

Abstract: The Grand Canonical Monte Carlo calculations of the properties of the chloroform/graphite and carbon tetrachloride/graphite interface have been performed at temperatures of 231.2, 268.2 (chloroform only) and 323.2 K. Agreement with experimental results is good for the chloroform/ graphite interface but less satisfactory for the carbon tetrachloride/graphite interface.
