The microscopic larvae attach to the bottom of boats and get transported along to contaminate other bodies of water. They are such voracious eaters of other algae species that they deplete the water of competitors of this toxic algae that then take over the body of water…and ruin our summer.
Environmental Quality Operations EQO has taken some cancer biology techniques as a means to detect them while they are still just slime on the bottom of a boat and has been using this technique to monitor several lake systems around the country.
Japanese variants; were convergences limited to the Cold War and robust. The persistence of disunited elites and unstable regimes; the finite persistence of ideologically united elites and stable unrepresentative regimes and likely result of their breakdown; can the few consensually united elites and stable representative regimes in developing countries persist?

Navy will have access to the port in Western Australia that the Australian navy operates. We will have Air Force bomber fighters using a target range in the Northern Territory for practice.
And so I think that what is really being done here is to ratchet up an already close collaboration between the two militaries, and also make it a little bit clearer that the U. And having facilities in Australia drives that point home. Much of the world's commerce moves through the oceans really quite close to Australia.
There's Indonesia, right next door Vietnam and the Philippines. Are other countries interested in having the United States active in the neighborhood? When I was in the White House, we heard from pretty much everyone in the neighborhood that they wanted to see us present politically, militarily and economically in the region.
Part of it is they welcome our presence and our values, for the most part. In addition, I think there is a general understanding that the — there are changes going on in Asia, particularly with the rise of China, to some degree the rise of India, the emergence of Indonesia, but above all the rise of China.
And the U. Why the worry about China, Professor Higley? It's a big, powerful and increasingly rich country. Isn't it just doing what big, powerful and rich countries do and have done since time immemorial? One is that it is very large and increasingly powerful. Its political future, of course, is extremely murky.
We just don't know what it's going to look like 10 or 20 years from now politically. But, still, it's building its military. It does have a bent toward a nationalist justification for the regime. The other point to make, really quickly, is that, from an Australian perspective, China's enormously important.
It's the number-one export market for Australia. It's helped Australia get through the financial crisis with virtually no injury because of booming exports to China.
And so the Australians are also a little bit edgy about the danger of alienating China, or at least raising hackles in Beijing. And that's another aspect of this particular move that one wants to keep one's eye on. Professor Higley, is there any tension between Australia's frank and open economic embrace of a future relationship with China, while it has security concerns and is also binding itself closer to the United States?
Well, I think that the Chinese were, in fact, briefed by the Australians about this happening. So it's not exactly a big surprise to Beijing.
