Abstract. Base flow separation has often been portrayed as the process of removing a high-frequency event (runoff) from a streamflow time series to determine the lowfrequency component (base flow). Fourier decomposition of several models of streamflow components suggests that this view is inaccurate. Base flow is a predominantly lowfrequency phenomenon, but runoff has a broad bandwidth with a significant low-frequency "signal." Base flow separation with digital filters is the attempt to isolate these two signals. Perfect separation is not possible because of the overlapping frequency content. Removal of low-frequency runoff signal will also partially attenuate base flow. Some principles of filter theory are used to suggest optimal filtering procedures for one commonly used recursive filter. To maximize runoff removal while minimizing base flow attenuation and phase distortion, it is usually best to use two high-attenuation filter passes as opposed to several low-attenuation passes.
The quotation in the title has been attributed as Robyn Morgans response to Germaine Greers television debate with Norman Mailer. This paper will explore Germaine Greers turbulent relationship with the mainstream press both in Australia and abroad and will attempt to determine whether the flamboyant Dr Greer added a much needed patina of glamour to the movement or merely used feminism as yet another way to cash in on the counter-culture. It demonstrates the ability of the media to manipulate a feminism not grounded in an analysis of male power. Addressing the National Press Club in Washington in 1971, Germaine Greer described herself as a media freak. It was a most apt description. While in America, Greer had received more press coverage than any other feminist. During her Australian tour five years later, the media, which had only given cursory and scurrilous coverage to the movement, began to devote hundreds of column inches to the womens movement. So much so that one journalist claimed that there had been a discernible change in attitude within a few weeks of Greers stay.[1] It had been the same in England.[2] Greer was unquestionably the media star of second-wave feminism. She was launched on a coast-to-coast American tour by her publishers, McGraw-Hill, in the spring of 1971 and the mass media were quick to capitalise on her ready wit and unconventional behaviour. She became the toast of the talk shows. A book launching at which she spoke in New York had to be rescheduled in order to accommodate all the members of the press who wanted to attend.[3] She was named Woman of the Year in Great Britain in 1971 and Playboy Journalist of the Year in the USA in 1972. Greer was dubbed the high priestess of womens liberation. She GERMAINE GREER AND THE MALESTREAM PRESS
