Abstract: Compositions and methods for the removal of selenium species from water containing high-salt concentrations and/or petroleum contaminants are described. The compositions and methods use a selenium-reducing microorganism adapted to adverse environments.

Abstract: A device and method for assisting people in changing their behaviour and in particular assisting people to stop performing an acquired behavioural response such as using tobacco products, using alcohol, or over-eating is disclosed. The device and method interrupt a user's acquired behavioural response to stimuli before a decision regarding a course of action is made. A set of symbols representing alternative responses to the acquired behavioural responses is then displayed to the user to encourage the user to perform an alternative response. The user acknowledges whether the acquired behavioural response was performed or whether one of the alternative behavioural responses was performed. The device records the number of times either response was performed for later analysis and record keeping.

Abstract: A portable electronic device is disclosed. The device has a first program stored in memory contained within the device and a second program stored on transposable memory which is releasably connectable to the device. The transposable memory comprises a plug-in module having a EEPROM. The second program stored on the transposable memory comprises a series of groups of instructions which are downloaded, as required, by the device and executed in order. The specific groups to be downloaded are determined by a jump table which accesses different groups of instructions in response to input signals. The instructions to be downloaded are identified by variable addresses in the jump table, and, the variable addresses are updated by means of the first program and the second program.
