    Elastic Torsional Buckling of Through Plate Girder Rail Bridges
    Duffield, C ; Hutchinson, G ; Stevens, LK ; Fletcher, G ; Brown, B ; Clifton, C ; Little, J ; Marriott, J ; McIIroy, C (New Zealand Heavy Engineering Research Association, 1986-12-01)
    An investigation has been conducted to study the lateral torsional buckling characteristics of a through plate girder railway bridge at Mitchell River in Victoria. Field measurements of lateral imperfections were taken on a selection of typical bridges. Elastic and non-linear finite element analyses of the bridge model incorporating the field measured imperfections indicated that one critical buckling live load was 6. 5 times the design live load. Possible problems are examined in relation to the vertical stiffeners as a result of this sensitivity to lateral imperfections.

    Joint venture: North American emigrant possessing skills not readily available in Australia, family reunion immigrant, or native-born Australian unrelated to foreigners of the same name?
    Park, Malcolm McKenzie ( 1984)
    A comparison of joint ventures and partnership concludes that while a joint venture can be distinguished from partnership in the United States and Scotland this is not so in Australia where “joint venture” is merely a fancy pretentious alternative (and needless) variant of “partnership”.

    Unitized recovery of petroleum deposits in Australia
    Park, Malcolm McKenzie ( 1983)
    An investigation of the regime imposed upon Australian petroleum (oil and gas) producers to ensure efficient and maximised recovery. The Australian practice is founded upon North American experience although the Australian regulator is also the royalty recipient unlike the US and Canada where the fee simple land owner is the royalty recipient. The Australian regime is made up of three areas being onshore, coastal waters, and off-shore and is administered by the Federal government and the seven regional (being the six states and the Northern Territory) governments.
