Abstract

In a previous volume, State and Society in Papua New Guinea: The First Twenty-Five Years (2001, reprinted by ANU E Press in 2004), a collection of papers by the author published between 1971 and 2001 was put together to mark Papua New Guinea's first 25 years as an independent state. This volume presents a collection of papers written between 2001 and 2021, which update the story of political and social development in Papua New Guinea in the first two decades of the twenty-first century. The chapters cover a range of topics, from an evaluation of proposals for political reform in the early 2000s, a review of the discussion of 'failing states’ in the island Pacific and the shift to limited preferential voting in 2007, to a detailed account of political developments from the move against Sir Michael Somare in 2011 to the election of Prime Minister Marape and his performance to 2022. There are also chapters on language policy, external and internal security, religious fundamentalism and national identity, and the sustainability of economic growth.

12. Performance of commercial analog multiplexers for spaceborne applications

Abstract

Commercial CMOS analog/digital processes are considered for spaceborne applications. Total dose hardness of three processes is compared by the testing of analog multiplexers. Parts were irradiated at 18 and 1.8 rad(Si) per sec. The total dose results are then compared with the requirements for a low earth and a geosynchronous orbital design. Shielding thicknesses for each of the orbital designs are suggested.

Abstract

In this paper we present the effect of total dose ionization of nonhardened field programmable gate arrays considered for space applications. By irradiating test structures and modeling the circuits that include total dose degradation, the basic leakage mechanism in the design at elevated temperature can be understood. Results show that a large array of CMOS inverter structures will conduct large currents when the threshold voltages of the p- and n-channel transistors reach the transition point of switching. Results show that if the n- and p-channel thresholds were to be increased in the process, this problem can be mitigated and hardness above 100 krad(Si) can be achieved.

14. In situ stimulation of aerobic PCB biodegradation in Hudson River sediments

Abstract

A 73-day field study of in situ aerobic biodegradation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the Hudson River shows that indigenous aerobic microorganisms can degrade the lightly chlorinated PCBs present in these sediments. Addition of inorganic nutrients, biphenyl, and oxygen enhanced PCB biodegradation, as indicated both by a 37 to 55 percent loss of PCBs and by the production of chlorobenzoates, intermediates in the PCB biodegradation pathway. Repeated inoculation with a purified PCB-degrading bacterium failed to improve biodegradative activity. Biodegradation was also observed under mixed but unamended oonditions, which suggests that this process may occur commonly in river sediments, with implications for PCB fate models and risk assessments., Polychlorinated biphenyls undergo biodegradation under a variety of conditions in the laboratory and in aquatic sediments[1, 2]. Two classes of bacteria with PCB-transforming capabilities have been identified. Anaerobic bacteria that [...]

16. Papua New Guinea under the O’Neill Government: Has There Been a Shift in Political Style?

Author

May, R.J. and May, R.J.

Abstract

In 2011–12 Papua New Guinea suffered its most serious constitutional crisis since independence, when the incumbent prime minister, Grand Chief Sir Michael Somare, was effectively removed from office in a ‘political coup’ by members of parliament whose actions were subsequently ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. The political impasse of this period, in which two people laid claim to the office of prime minister, was finally resolved in mid-2012 following a scheduled national election. But it is arguable that the damage done in 2011 to the institutions of Papua New Guinea’s democratic system was not entirely undone in 2012 and that political developments since 2012 give some cause for concern. This paper briefly recounts the events of 2011–12 and looks at political developments under the O’Neill government which came to power following the 2012 election.

Abstract

This article discusses the regular and free elections that are held in Papua New Guinea. The author argues that even though the elections represent a true attempt at political reform it may not be enough to overcome the political turbulence.

47. “Mutual respect, friendship and co-operation?” The Indonesia-Papua New Guinea Border and its effects on relations between Papua New Guinea and Indonesia.

Author

May, R.J.

Abstract

In October 1986 the foreign ministers of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea (PNG) signed a Treaty of Mutual Respect, Friendship and Co-operation. Under the terms of this treaty the two countries have agreed not to threaten or use force against one another and not to cooperate with others in hostile or unlawful acts against each other or allow their territory to be used by others for such purposes. Provision is made also for consultation and negotiation in the event of any dispute. The treaty was hailed by President Suharto as “another milestone in the history of both countries,” while Papua New Guinea's prime minister, Paias Wingti, and foreign affairs secretary, Bill Dihm, said it would give direction for the future and inspire confidence in Papua New Guinea and its regional neighbors.1 [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

49. The situation of Philippine Muslims.

Author

May, R.J.

Abstract

Even before the dramatic events surrounding the assassination of Philippine opposition leader Senator Benigno Aquino in August 1983, and the ensuing political crisis, it was clear to observers of the Philippine's political scene that destabilizing influences were operating on the regime of President Ferdinand Marcos and that groups both within the regime and in opposition to it were man‐oeuvering for positions in a post‐Marcos society. With this in mind, in November 1983 a group of specialists from the Philippines, australia and North America met in Canberra, Australia to review the current political and economic situation and speculate on various aspects of ‘the Philippines after Marcos’.1 This article is an abbreviated and slightly modified version of a paper which the author contributed to that conference.
