A state in southeastern Australia, the southernmost state. Its capital is Melbourne. It was discovered in 1770 by Captain Cook and first settled by immigrants from Tasmania. In 1851 it was separated from New South Wales as a separate colony. Self-government was introduced in 1851; it became a state in 1901. It was named for Queen Victoria in 1851.

Early identification of congenital deafness enables early intervention, but evidence on the influence of age at fitting of hearing aids (HAs) or cochlear implants (CIs) on outcomes in school-aged children who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) is limited. This study (1) described developmental outcomes and health-related quality of life i...
We reported here an isolated insect forewing from Triassic deposits of the Eisenhower Range, northern Victoria Land, Antarctica. Based on the reduced venation (e.g., pterostigma well-developed, Rs dichotomously branched, Rs and M with five branches each), we tentatively identify the specimen as belonging to Permochoristidae (Mecoptera). However, du...
Queen Victoria is associated with the names of two Australian states (VIC, QLD); while the others are named after a Dutch explorer (TAS), a British country (NSW), prosaic directions (WA, SA, NT), and government (ACT). Rather than a royal review, this article will look at the state of health libraries, in the state of Victoria.
