Governments are often asked to provide financial support for special events and conventions to be held within particular destinations. The major problem is: what degree of support, if any, is warranted? The answer to this question varies according to the perceived public benefits and costs associated with the event. Clearly, there is needed some framework of analysis that can be used to help determine which events should be supported, and to what extent, and which should not be supported with public funds. In late 1998 Tourism New South Wales commissioned the development of a framework for assessing the economic impacts of events and conventions (exhibitions, conferences) by type and by location. This framework was expected to serve as a device for discerning trends in economic impacts of events and conventions, and also serve as a guide to projecting the likely economic impacts of future events and conventions by type and by location. The focus of this article is on the usefulness of the framework for assessing the impacts of events and conventions. First, the aims of the project undertaken for Tourism New South Wales are specified, and the method outlined. Second, the framework that was developed for assessing the economic and other impacts of events and conventions is presented and discussed.

A virus indexing program was initiated in the 1950s to test local citrus clones with commercial potential, for the presence of citrus exocortis viroid and psorosis. As indexing techniques improved, clones have also been tested for the presence of citrus cachexia viroid and other viroids, citrus infectious variegation virus, citrus tatter leaf virus, and strain severity of citrus tristeza virus. Of 123 candidate clones tested, only 2 were infected with psorosis virus. Crinkly leaf (infectious variegation virus) was widespread in lemons but has been eliminated by nucellar embryony. The widespread incidence of citrus exocortis and other lower molecular weight viroids has been reduced by screening mother trees on Poncirus trifoliata stocks, biological indexing, and, more recently, by sequential polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of RNA extracts. Cachexia is rarely found in Australian citrus clones.

Caprine β-mannosidosis, an autosomal recessive defect of glycoprotein catabolism, is associated with a deficiency of tissue and plasma -mannosidase and with tissue accumulation and urinary excretion of oligosaccharides, including the trisaccharide Man(β1-4)GlcNAc(βl-4)GlcNAc and the disaccharide Man(β1-4)GlcNAc. This genetic disorder is evident at birth, with severe neurological deficits including a marked intention tremor, pendular nystagmus, ataxia and inability to stand. Major pathological characteristics described in Nubian goats in Michigan and in Anglo-Nubian goats in New South Wales include widespread cytoplasmic vacuolation in the nervous system and viscera, axonal spheroids, and severe myelin paucity in the brain but not spinal cord or peripheral nerves. Light microscopic examination revealed marked regional variation in the severity of central nervous system myelin deficits, with some brain areas showing nearly complete absence of myelin and other regions characterized by the presence of 25-50% of the control number of myelin sheaths.
