Summary
Introduction
Oil and fuel spills are among the most extensive and environmentally damaging pollution problems in cold regions and are recognized as potential threats to human and ecosystem health. It is generally thought that spills are more damaging in cold regions, and that ecosystem recovery is slower than in warmer climates (AMAP 1998; Det Norske Veritas 2003). Slow natural attenuation rates mean that petroleum concentrations remain high for many years, and site managers are therefore often forced to select among a range of more active remediation options, each of which involves a trade-off between cost and treatment time (Figure 11). The acceptable treatment timeline is usually dictated by financial circumstance, perceived risks, regulatory pressure, or transfer of land ownership.
In situations where remediation and site closure are not urgent, natural attenuation is often considered an option. However, for many cold region sites, contaminants rapidly migrate off-site (Gore et al. 1999; Snape et al. 2006a). In seasonally frozen ground, especially in wetlands, a pulse of contamination is often released with each summer thaw (AMAP 1998; Snape et al. 2002). In these circumstances natural attenuation is likely not a satisfactory option. Simply excavating contaminants and removing them for off-site treatment may not be viable either, because the costs are often prohibitive and the environmental consequences of bulk extraction can equal or exceed the damage caused by the initial spill (Filler et al. 2006; Riser-Roberts 1998).

Four samples of (Y1−xCex)3(Al1−y Gay)5O12 (where x=0.01, 0.02 and y=0, 0.5) were synthesized via the simple, efficient combustion synthesis method in order to determine the effect of substituting Ga3+ for Al3+ on the temperature-dependent fluorescent lifetime. X-ray diffraction shows that the Ga-doped samples have longer lattice constants and transmission electron microscopy data show that each sample consists of nanocrystallites which have agglomerated in micron-sized particles. Photoluminescence data reveal that the addition of gallium into the YAG:Ce matrix induces a red shift in the absorption spectra and a blue-shift in the emission spectra. The laser-induced fluorescent lifetime was determined as a function of temperature over the range of 0-125°C using two different emission filters. Increasing the amount of dopant ultimately results in a decrease of the fluorescent lifetime. The quenching temperatures for the Ga-doped samples were lower than the samples without gallium. The results of this work show that combustion synthesis is viable method for making highly luminescent, nanocrystalline TGPs. In addition, these results show that the quenching temperature of YAG:Ce can be altered by substituting ions which alter the location of the charge transfer state and by changing the morphology of the sample.

Summary
Abstract
This study explores the lecture comprehension of a group of first-year electronic engineering undergraduates taking a course on “The Human-Computer Interface” in Hong Kong. Following Olsen and Huckin (1990), we focus on the way that discourse structure relates to the comprehension of a lecturer's main points. Our subjects had relatively few difficulties in identifying most of the main points of a chosen lecture extract, which described how filtering can be used to offset information overload in human information processing. There were, however, frequent misrepresentations and omissions in subjects' summaries of one of the main points concerning a warning that errors might result from overuse or misuse of filtering. These misrepresentations appear to have been prompted by differences between the type of lecture format that the students expected and the actual format of the lecture. We describe the implications of our findings for lecture comprehension and EAP teaching.
Introduction
Olsen and Huckin (1990) conducted an exploratory research study into ESL students' comprehension of engineering lectures. They concluded that some of these students “may understand all the words of a lecture (including lexical connectives and other discourse markers) and yet fail to understand the lecturer's main points or logical argument” (p. 33). As an explanation of such outcomes, they argued that many students only expect to gain information from lectures, and thus fail to recognise and appreciate evidence of more complex speaker intentions.
