  Australian Biological Resources Study - home page
The ABRS is a Programme within Parks Australia Division of the Department of the Environment and Heritage.
The Aim of ABRS is to provide, through strategic partnerships, the underlying taxonomic knowledge necessary for the conservation and sustainable use of Australia's biodiversity.
Since its inception, ABRS has taken active responsibility for funding taxonomic research on Australia's biodiversity, and is a world leader with its internationally recognised series of publications and databases.

 ABRS professional qualifications
The ABRS Examinations System was created by employers to produce the type of employee the industry requires - both in Teaching and Stable Management.
The ABRS Examiners are carefully selected, they have knowledge, examining and assessing ability, train to all levels of Riding and Stable Management and - above all - are employers in the industry.
All ABRS Examinations are of a very practical nature - no written papers are required, but there is a need for underpinning knowledge and an understanding of the reasons for the various tasks associated with stable routine.

 SASB Correspondence -- ABRS Review
ABRS is not the only agency in Australia that funds taxonomic research, but it is the only one that has this as one of its primary functions.
ABRS publications are refereed, so it should be up to authors to correct/modify the work, and if it is not of an appropriate standard then it is not published (and authors do not receive part of their contract payment).
Underlying this situation is that ABRS has a public relations problem, and, because of this, the organisation lacks the support it otherwise needs from the general systematics community.

 The effects of ammoniated rice straw diets supplemented with Chinese milk vetch silage on rumen fermentation and ...
The intake of ABRS was reduced almost linearly with the increase in supplementary MVS, and the substitute rate was between 0.83 and 1.02.
The rumen degradation of ABRS and of MVS was determined in sacco (Orskov 1985) as described elsewhere (Liu et al 1995).
ABRS and MVS were sampled daily and dried at 60 °C. These samples were bulked and subsampled for further analysis: the DM was determined at 105 °C, and crude protein (CP) was determined by the macro-Kjeldahl method (AOAC 1990).

According to the guidelines, ABRS typically develops as a complication of nasal "allergies" or a viral respiratory infection, such as the common cold.
In general, a diagnosis of ABRS may be made in adults or children whose cold symptoms have not improved after 10 days or have worsened after five to seven days.
ABRS is one of the most common conditions evaluated in the outpatient setting in North America.

ABRS provides the Asian media industry with data on the size and scope of the senior businessman market.While a small slice of the population, these are the executives who make the business decisions for the region's largest companies, and are thus at the helm of the Asian economic recovery.
ABRS is conducted by Ipsos, and combines the international media research expertise of Ipsos-RSL in the UK with the Asian understanding of the Hong Kong based company, Ipsos-Far East.It is one of a family of 'BRS' surveys, conducted also in Western and Central Europe and Japan.

The Academy believes that the ABRS is now critically under-resourced and can not fulfil its primary role to 'provide the underlying taxonomic knowledge necessary for the conservation and sustainable use of Australia's biodiversity'.
ABRS is closely linked to all stakeholders through its annual newsletter; ABRS staff participate in key meetings; respond effectively to telephone inquiries; and senior staff regularly visit institutions all around Australia.
ABRS staff are also observers on a range of key Australian councils such as the Council of Heads of Australian Herbaria and the Council of Heads of Australian Fauna Collections.

The ABRS is designed to meet the exacting requirements of wafer inspection, high precision metrology, x-ray diffraction systems, optical inspection and fabrication, and MEMS/nanotechnology device fabrication.
In addition to the low overall height, the ABRS series provides a clear aperture that can be used for product feed-through, laser beam delivery, cable clearance, or application-specific requirements.
The ABRS design features large air-bearing surfaces for high stiffness and load capacity, producing not only excellent axial and radial error motions, but outstanding tilt error motion, as well.

 THE KINETICS OF FIBRE DIGESTION, NUTRIENT DIGESTIBILITY AND
The digestibility of dry matter and organic matter of RS was increased by 13.1 and 12.7 % (P<0.05) and approached to that of ABRS, indicating that the effect of ULB on digestibility of RS is similar to that of treatment with AB.
The ABRS was prepared by the stack method: one tonne of RS was treated with 100 kg ammonia bicarbonate and 250 kg water for 30 days at an ambient temperature of 15-200C (Liu et al 1991).
The LT for hay was shortened by ULB feeding.

Acute bacterial rhinosinusitis (ABRS) is an inflammation and infection involving the nasal mucosa and at least one of the adjacent sinus cavities.
Officially, the diagnosis of ABRS is made when the individual has URI symptoms that have not resolved after 10 days or have worsened after 5 to 7 days and are accompanied by other signs and symptoms (see Table : “Symptoms Associated with ABRS”).
The diagnosis of ABRS is made primarily by a comprehensive history and physical examination.

 Acute Bacterial Rhinosinusitis in Adults: Part I. Evaluation - November 1, 2004 - American Family Physician
Given an overall likelihood of ABRS of 15 percent, the likelihood of ABRS is 41 percent if the rule is positive and only 1 percent if the rule is negative.
If the likelihood of ABRS is higher, as in a patient who presents after seven to 10 days of symptoms (i.e., 50 percent), the probability of ABRS is 80 percent if the rule is positive and 6 percent if it is negative.
CT scanning should not be used for routine evaluation of ABRS, but it has an important role in defining anatomic abnormalities that predispose patients to recurrent and chronic sinusitis.

This is despite significant prevalence of resistance to commonly used antimicrobials in bacteria that cause ABRS.
Approximately 20 million cases of ABRS are reported each year in the United States, and treatment of the infections costs the United States economy nearly $3.5 billion annually.
In particular, many older antibiotics have become ineffective in treating ABRS, because antibiotic resistance has developed or increased, especially among Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae, the two bacteria that cause up to 78 percent of cases of ABRS in adults.

 Acute bacterial rhinosinusitis in adults: Part II. Treatment American Family Physician - Find Articles
In part one (1) of this two-part article, clinical criteria for evaluating ABRS are described.
To integrate current antibiotic resistance surveillance data into antibiotic recommendations, the Sinus and Allergy Health Partnership (SAHP) used the Poole Therapeutic Outcomes Model, a mathematical model that predicts clinical efficacy for each of the antibiotics commonly prescribed for ABRS (Table 1).
Although lacking complete H. influenzae coverage, amoxicillin is still a good choice for a first-line antibiotic in community-acquired ABRS because many infections with resistant organisms improve anyway,18 and because it is well tolerated and inexpensive (Table 1).

 Sinusitis Guidelines Target Antibiotic Resistance
, were developed to stem antibiotic resistance by assisting health professionals to more accurately diagnose acute bacterial rhinosinusitis (ABRS), reduce the use of antibiotics for non-bacterial infections and recommend the use of the most effective antibiotics when ABRS is likely.
Just as important, we are working to educate the public about the personal and public health dangers that can result from the overuse and misuse of antibiotics for conditions like sinusitis."
These categories are based on predicted efficacy rates in fighting the bacteria that most often cause ABRS -- streptococcus pneumoniae, haemophilus influenzae and moraxella catarrhalis -- and a comparison of these rates to the rate at which bacterial infections resolve themselves without antibiotics.
