The following information was compiled from a number of written sources based on language research and ethno-historic observations. It should be noted that the information provided here does not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Gunditj Mirring people regarding their tribal affiliations and boundaries. Aboriginal occupation of the Portland region has been dated to at least 11,000 years ago, with use of the coastal regions demonstrated by the presence of recorded shell middens and artefact scatters (Freslov 1992; Kellaway and Rhodes 2002). -

The Eastern Market Gates (Former), originally constructed in 1880 as part of the Eastern Market complex in the City of Melbourne and relocated to the Altona Memorial Park in 1968, at Dohertys Road, Altona North. How is it Significant? The Eastern Market Gates (Former) are of local historic and aesthetic significance to the City of Hobsons Bay. Why is it Significant? Historically, they are significant as perhaps the only publicly surviving remnant of the famous Eastern Market of Melbourne. They are also of interest for their associations with the notable architectural firm of Reed & Barnes. (AHC criterion B2) Aesthetically, they are significant as fine examples of their style and type and provide an appropriate formal note to the entrance to the Memorial Gardens.

City of Port Phillip Heritage Review
City of Port Phillip Heritage Review Place name: Houses Citation No: Other names: - 2409 Address: 110-118 Barkly Street & 2-6 Heritage Precinct: None Blanche Street, St Kilda Heritage Overlay: Recommended Category: Residential: Houses Graded as: Significant Style: Federation/Edwardian Victorian Heritage Register: No Constructed: 1910-1912 Designer: James Downie Amendment: C161 Comment: New citation Significance What is significant? The group of eight houses, including two pairs of semi-detached houses and one detached house at 110- 118 Barkly Street and a terrace of three houses at 2-6 Blanche Street, St Kilda, constructed from 1910 to 1912 by builder James Downie, is significant. The high timber picket fences on each property are not significant. Non-original alterations and additions to the houses and the modern timber carport at 2a Blanche Street are not significant. How is it significant? The houses 110-118 Barkly Street and 2-6 Blanche Street, St Kilda are of local historic, representative and aesthetic significance to the City of Port Phillip. Why is it significant? The group is of historical significance for their association with the residential development of St Kilda after the economic depression of the 1890s. Built between 1910 and 1912, at a time of increased population growth and economic recovery, they are representative of Edwardian-era speculative housing development on the remaining vacant sites in St Kilda. (Criterion A) They are representative examples of Federation/Edwardian housing built as an investment by a single builder using standard designs to ensure the houses could be built efficiently and economically, but with City of Port Phillip Heritage Review Citation No: 2409 variations in detailing to achieve individuality and visual interest and avoid repetition. -

Exploring the Lipidomes of Shallow-Water and Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Systems
Exploring the lipidomes of shallow-water and deep-sea hydrothermal systems Dissertation zur Erlangung des Doktorgrades der Naturwissenschaften - Dr. rer. nat. - Am Fachbereich Geowissenschaften der Universität Bremen vorgelegt von Miriam Sollich Bremen Mai 2018 1. Gutachter: Dr. Solveig I. Bühring 2. Gutachter: Associate Prof. Dr. Eoghan P. Reeves Tag des Promotionskolloquiums:16. Februar 2018 Den Wissenschaftlern geht es wie den Chaoten. Es ist alles da, man muss es nur suchen. - Franz Kern - CONTENTS Abstract Zusammenfassung Acknowledgements List of Abbreviations Chapter I 1 Introduction and Methods Chapter II 37 Scope and Outline Chapter III 43 Heat stress dictates the microbial lipid composition along a thermal gradient in marine sediments Chapter IV 91 Shallow-water hydrothermal systems offer ideal conditions to study archaeal lipid membrane adaptations to environmental extremes Chapter V 113 Transfer of chemosynthetic fixed carbon and its ecological significance revealed by lipid analysis of fluids at diffuse flow deep-sea vents (East Pacific Rise 9°50’N) Chapter VI 143 Concluding Remarks and Future Perspectives ABSTRACT Shallow-water and deep-sea hydrothermal systems are environments where seawater percolates downward through fractures in the oceanic crust, and becomes progressively heated and chemically altered. Finally, the entrained water is expelled into the overlying water column as a hydrothermal fluid. Hydrothermal circulation occurs at all active plate boundaries like mid-ocean ridges, submarine volcanic arcs and backarc basins. They represent one of the most extreme and dynamic ecosystems on the planet with steep physico-chemical gradients. Nevertheless, these environments are characterized by exceptional high biomass representing hotspots of life in the mostly hostile and desolated deep sea. -

Analyses of the 16S rRNA gene and two functional 25 genes involved in sulfate respiration and anaerobic degradation of aromatic compounds 26 revealed that the isolate was closely related to members of the genus Desulfosarcina. 27 Strain PP31 was capable of growing on p-xylene under sulfate-reducing conditions, and 28 the ratio of generated sulfide and consumed p-xylene suggested complete oxidation by 29 the novel isolate. The strain could not grow on benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, 30 m-xylene o-xylene, or n-hexane as an electron donor. Strain PP31 is the first isolated 31 bacterium that degrades p-xylene anaerobically, and will be useful to understanding the 32 mechanism of anaerobic degradation of p-xylene. -
