description: We investigate the physical properties and spatial distribution of Carbon Monoxide (CO) gas in the disks around the Herbig Ae/Be stars HD 97048 and HD 100546. Using high-spectral-resolution 4.588-4.715 $μ$m spectra containing fundamental CO emission taken with CRIRES on the VLT, we probe the circumstellar gas and model the kinematics of the emission lines. By using spectro-astrometry on the spatially resolved targets, we constrain the physical size of the emitting regions in the disks. We resolve, spectrally and spatially, the emission of the $^{13}$CO v(1-0) vibrational band and the $^{12}$CO $v=1-0, v=2-1, v=3-2$ and $v=4-3$ vibrational bands in both targets, as well as the $^{12}$CO $v=5-4$ band in HD 100546. Modeling of the CO emission with a homogeneous disk in Keplerian motion, yields a best fit with an inner and outer radius of the CO emitting region of 11 and $\geq$ 100 AU for HD 97048. HD 100546 is not fit well with our model, but we derive a lower limit on the inner radius of 8 AU. The fact that gaseous [OI] emission was previously detected in both targets at significantly smaller radii suggests that CO may be effectively destroyed at small radii in the surface layers of these disks

description: Regression models are commonly applied in the analysis of transportation data. This research aims at broadening the range of methods used for this task by modeling the spatial distribution of bike-sharing trips in Cologne, Germany, applying both parametric regression models and a modified machine learning approach while incorporating measures to account for spatial autocorrelation. Independent variables included in the models consist of land use types, elements of the transport system and sociodemographic characteristics. Out of several regression models with different underlying distributions, a Tweedie generalized additive model is chosen by its values for AIC, RMSE, and sMAPE to be compared to an XGBoost model. To consider spatial relationships, spatial splines are included in the Tweedie model, while the estimations of the XGBoost model are modified using a geographically weighted regression. Both methods entail certain advantages: while XGBoost leads to far better values regarding RMSE and sMAPE and therefore to a better model fit, the Tweedie model allows an easier interpretation of the influence of the independent variables including spatial effects.

description: Purpose: Previous research demonstrates the relevance of childhood trauma and attachment to communication development. This study aimed to understand speech-language pathology (SLP) practitioners’ knowledge, beliefs, training, and current practices regarding developmental trauma and attachment.Method: An online survey was administered to SLP practitioners (N = 97) who work primarily with children from birth to age 6 years in Canada. Quantitative (univariate and bivariate) analysis was performed with SPSS. Qualitative responses were coded by two reviewers using thematic analysis to identify key themes.Results: SLP practitioners are working with children who have experienced trauma and adapt their practice when they are aware of this history. Practitioners also indicated, however, that they lack training with respect to trauma and attachment, their understanding of the concepts is narrow, they do not have standardized practices for obtaining trauma history, and they do not adapt their practice in consistent ways. The results show there is interest in understanding how trauma affects communication development, the relevance to their work, and that additional training is needed to support practitioners to identify and respond to trauma in early childhood.Conclusions: Findings from this study support SLP practitioners’ involvement in early identification of trauma and the development of best practices regarding trauma-informed SLP assessment and intervention. The results also inform how systems and areas of service need to be adjusted to be more accessible, flexible, and collaborative in order to support children and families whose lives have been impacted by trauma and indicate additional areas of research in the area.

description: During the second half of June, 2008, 50 broadband seismic stations were deployed on Mt Etna volcano in close proximity to the summit, allowing us to observe seismic activity with exceptionally high resolution. 129 long period events (LP) with dominant frequencies ranging between 0.3 and 1.2 Hz, were extracted from this dataset. These events form two families of similar waveforms with different temporal distributions. Event locations are performed by cross-correlating signals for all pairs of stations in a two-step scheme. In the first step, the absolute location of the centre of the clusters was found. In the second step, all events are located using this position. The hypocentres are found at shallow depths (20 to 700 m deep) below the summit craters. The very high location resolution allows us to detect the temporal migration of the events along a dike-like structure and 2 pipe shaped bodies, yielding an unprecedented view of some elements of the shallow plumbing system at Mount Etna. These events do not seem to be a direct indicator of the ongoing lava flow or magma upwelling.

description: Historically, vaccination programs have been designed as a preventative procedure. The bovine practitioner with his accumulated knowledge of pathogenesis and epidemiology of disease conditions is placed into a position of developing vaccination routines. These vaccination routines evolve into a portion of his total herd health program. It has become apparent that decisions regarding a vaccination routine must be made with a knowledge that the routine must be supported by good management and nutritional practices, and that the vaccination routine alone will not prevent all disease conditions from occurring. A series of feedlot observations were initiated to determine if revaccination with ML V IBR V / BVDV vaccine would be deleterious to the health of incoming feedlot cattle. Observations were additionally made to determine if revaccination would elicit an influence on morbidity and mortality.

description: There was no significant difference in mortality between vaccinated and control calves. However, vaccination delayed death; the earliest deaths occurred among control calves. Ninety-six calves seronegative for I BR virus antibody were vaccinated and 82 of 86 (95.3%) of the survivors seroconverted within 14 days. Only 2 of 84 surviving control calves developed antibody to IBR virus by 14 days. Most vaccinated calves tested developed intranasal IFN after vaccination. Interferon was detected in many unvaccinated calves without evidence of IBR virus infection. Twenty-seven calves had IFN present in the NS at the time of vaccination. Twenty of these calves survived and seroconverted to IBR virus by 14 days after vaccination. This intranasal vaccine was effective on seronegative cattle with known intranasal IFN titers during a shipping fever outbreak.

A Fast General-Purpose Clustering Algorithm Based on FPGAs for High-Throughput Data Processing

description: We present a fast general-purpose algorithm for high-throughput clustering of data "with a two dimensional organization". The algorithm is designed to be implemented with FPGAs or custom electronics. The key feature is a processing time that scales linearly with the amount of data to be processed. This means that clustering can be performed in pipeline with the readout, without suffering from combinatorial delays due to looping multiple times through all the data. This feature makes this algorithm especially well suited for problems where the data has high density, e.g. in the case of tracking devices working under high-luminosity condition such as those of LHC or Super-LHC. The algorithm is organized in two steps: the first step (core) clusters the data; the second step analyzes each cluster of data to extract the desired information. The current algorithm is developed as a clustering device for modern high-energy physics pixel detectors. However, the algorithm has much broader field of applications. In fact, its core does not specifically rely on the kind of data or detector it is working for, while the second step can and should be tailored for a given application. Applications can thus be foreseen to other detectors and other scientific fields ranging from HEP calorimeters to medical imaging. An additional advantage of this two steps approach is that the typical clustering related calculations (second step) are separated from the combinatorial complications of clustering. This separation simplifies the design of the second step and it enables it to perform sophisticated calculations achieving online-quality in online applications. The algorithm is general purpose in the sense that only minimal assumptions on the kind of clustering to be performed are made.

From the sage's garden to the Palatine : a study of the origin of Epicureanism and Stoicism, their development in Rome, their affinity with the traditional Roman character and their influence on Roman emperors of the Julio-Claudian line.
Creators: name: Smith, EJ
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis has a threefold purpose. It is intended, firstly, to trace the development of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophies from their origins in Greece to their subsequent acceptance, with some modifications, in Rome; secondly, to ascertain the ways in which certain tenets of each philosophy agreed with the traditional character of the Roman people; and, thirdly, to determine the extent to vvhich the Julio-Claudian emperors were affected in their work and outlook by the Stoic and Epicurean doctrines of their day. To be effective, a philosophy must influence not only those who preach, but also those who hear; and this study has been undertaken in order to discover whether a philosophy like Stoicism; known to the world mainly, though not entirely, from the writings of its supporters, was powerful enough to affect the policies of administrators who professed adherence to no philosophic school. Owing to difficulties of reproducirig Greek originals in typed form, and in order to avoid breaking the continuity of the type-vvritten page, quotations from Greek authors have been incorporated into the body of the text in translation, and the originals written in footnotes. Since the field of literature in this subject is almost inexhaustible, the books and periodicals which I have consulted and which are listed in the bibliography can at best be regarded as a representative selection of the material available. My thanks are due to the staff of the Library of the University of Tasmania for providing this material over a number of years, and to the Department of Classics for many valuable suggestions.

description: In this study, KMnO4 modification was proved to effectively increase the Ni2+ adsorption capacity of biomass. In order to clarify the KMnO4 modification mechanism, the Ni2+ adsorption characteristics of KMnO4 modified corncob (PPCB) under adsorption time, pH and Ni2+ concentration were studied. The results showed that the adsorption was the pseudo second-order kinetic process, indicating that chemisorption was the dominated process, which followed the Langmuir isotherm model and the highest Ni2+ adsorption capacity of PPCB reached 35.6 mg/g. By KMnO4 modification, the corncob was oxidized to generate carboxylates, and the MnO2 (reduction product) was loaded on the modified corncob, both carboxylates and MnO2 increased the Ni2+ adsorption capacity of PPCB. The molecular dynamic results indicated the carboxylate structures had the strongest adsorption capacity. Moreover, the Ni2+ removal efficiency of KMnO4 modified biomass decreased linearly with the increase of lignin content in biomass, while KMnO4 modified lignin showed a good adsorption performance, indicating that the cross-linked structures between lignin and other components in the biomass could inhibit the adsorption capacity of PPCB.

description: It is known that an elliptic system $\{P_j(x,D)\}_1^N$ of order $l$ is weakly coercive in $\overset{\circ}{W}\rule{0pt}{2mm}^l_\infty(\mathbb R^n)$, that is, all differential monomials of order $\le l-1$ on $C_0^\infty(\mathbb R^n)$-functions are subordinated to this system in the $L^\infty$-norm. Conditions for the converse result are found and other properties of weakly coercive systems are investigated. An analogue of the de Leeuw-Mirkil theorem is obtained for operators with variable coefficients: it is shown that an operator $P(x,D)$ in $n\ge 3$ variables with constant principal part is weakly coercive in $\overset{\circ}{W}\rule{0pt}{2mm}_\infty^l(\mathbb R^n)$ if and only if it is elliptic. A similar result is obtained for systems $\{P_j(x,D)\}_1^N$ with constant coefficients under the condition $n\ge 2N+1$ and with several restrictions on the symbols $P_j(ξ)$ . A complete description of differential polynomials in two variables which are weakly coercive in $\overset{\circ}{W}\rule{0pt}{2mm}_\infty^l(\mathbb R^2)$ is given. Wide classes of systems with constant coefficients which are weakly coercive in $\overset{\circ}{W}\rule{0pt}{2mm}_\infty^l(\mathbb \R^n)$, but non-elliptic are constructed.

Something old something new : the development of the saxophone quartet and interpreting Alexander Glazunov's Quartet fur saxophones op. 109
Creators: name: Smith, GE
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The origins of the saxophone quartet can be traced to the inception of the instrument. The development of the classical saxophone quartet and the continually growing body of repertoire was aided by Alexander Glazunov's pivotal work Quartett fer Saxophones Op.109 (1932). This work allowed composers to see the saxophone in a new light whereby it indicated its potential as a serious instrument. Glazunov's contribution to the literature for classical saxophone can be seen as important as indicated by the composers and works that followed shortly after, expanding its repertoire throughout the early twentieth century in solo, orchestral and chamber music. Despite never reaching the inventor, Adolphe Sax's hope for the instrument to be treated as a serious full time addition to the orchestra, the saxophone nevertheless now enjoys opportunities for performance in a variety settings and a growing body of repertoire. The first part of this paper will outline the development of the early saxophone quartet and the contribution of Marcel Mule and Alexander Glazunov to the classical saxophone. The second half will focus on the scope for interpretation of Op. 109 and relate contrasting examples of interpretive decisions by four of the most accomplished and influential current saxophone quartets. This section will also discuss the challenges faced by the author's saxophone quartet, 22SQ in their performance preparation of this work.

description: Alpinia zerumbet cv. ’Variegata’, as a special spice, has attracted social attention for its potential to replace synthetic chemicals as insecticides and repellents in food protection. In this work, the essential oils (EOs) from different organs of Alpinia zerumbet cv. ’Variegata’ (stem and leaf, flower, and rhizome) were extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The contact toxicities and repellent activities of the extracted EOs, along with their common components, against three insect species (Tribolium castaneum, Lasioderma serricorne, and Liposcelis bostrychophila) were evaluated. GC-MS analysis identified 25 components, and eucalyptol and camphor were the common primary components in the three EOs. The result showed that EOs and the main components (eucalyptol and camphor) exhibited varying degrees of contact toxicity and repellent activity against three insect species. Camphor exhibited more obvious contact toxicity than eucalyptol against both insect species (L. serricorne and L. bostrychophila), but the toxic effect was opposite for T. castaneum. The gray relation analysis explained that REOA had the strongest repellency against L. serricorne, with a coefficient of 0.52. The results in this study suggest that EOs of A. zerumbet cv. ’Variegata’ have the potential to be developed into botanical insecticides and repellents to control stored-product insects.

description: The formalism for modeling multiple fermion generations in a warped extra dimension with a soft-wall is presented. A bulk Higgs condensate is responsible for generating mass for the zero-mode fermions but leads to additional complexity from large mixing between different flavors. We extend existing single-generation analyses by considering new special cases in which analytical solutions can be derived and discuss flavor constraints. The general three-generation case is then treated using a simple numerical routine. Assuming anarchic 5D parameters we find a fermion mass spectrum resembling the standard model quarks and leptons with highly degenerate couplings to Kaluza-Klein gauge bosons. This confirms that the soft-wall model has similar attractive features as that found in hard-wall models, providing a framework to generalize existing phenomenological analyses.

description: Organic selenium has been widely studied for its ability to better fulfill the physiological functions of selenium. In this study, a novel organic selenium (wheat protein hydrolyzate chelated selenium, WPH-Se) was prepared by chelating the hydrolyzate of wheat protein hydrolyzed by alkaline protease (WPH) with selenium, its preparation process was optimized; and structural and functional properties were investigated. The results showed that the highest selenium content of 10.97 mg/g was obtained in the chelate under the optimal conditions (peptide/selenium mass ratio 2:1, temperature 80°C, pH 8, time 60 min). UV-Vis, FTIR, DSC and SEM provided more information for the characterization of WPH-Se. During the chelating process, selenium ions might be effectively bound to WPH through carboxyl, carbonyl and amino ligands, and the C=O bond and -NH, -OH groups might be the sites. At different pHs, the solubility of WPH-Se was generally lower than that of WPH, which reached a maximum of 32.69% at pH 6. The EAI of WPH-Se was higher than that of WPH, which reached a maximum of 0.84 m2/g, and the ESI reached a maximum of 47.3 min at pH 10. The free sulfhydryl content of WPH-Se was greater than that of WPH, which reached a maximum of 12.78 μmol/g at pH 8. WPH-Se was superior to WPH in terms of foaming ability and emulsification properties. WPH-Se contained a certain amount of aromatic amino acids (7.962%) and a relatively high amount of hydrophobic amino acids (38.490%), and had high nutritional value. Wheat protein peptide chelated selenium would be a useful functional additive, this study would provide data to support further research and application of selenium dietary supplements.
Critical Tunneling Currents in Quantum Hall Superfluids: Pseudospin-Transfer Torque Theory

description: At total filling factor $ν=1$ quantum Hall bilayers can have an ordered ground state with spontaneous interlayer phase coherence. The ordered state is signaled experimentally by dramatically enhanced interlayer tunnel conductances at low bias voltages; at larger bias voltages inter-layer currents are similar to those of the disordered state. We associate this change in behavior with the existence of a critical current beyond which static inter-layer phase differences cannot be maintained, and examine the dependence of this critical current on sample geometry, phase stiffness, and the coherent tunneling energy density. Our analysis is based in part on analogies between coherent bilayer behavior and spin-transfer torque physics in metallic ferromagnets. Comparison with recent experiments suggests that disorder can dramatically suppress critical currents.

Subclinical Effects and Control of Abomasal Worms in Dairy Cattle
Creators: name: Herd, Rupert
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1982

description: In the last decade considerable attention has been focussed on subclinical effects of internal parasites, particularly with respect to a possible reduction in milk yield in lactating cows. Subclinical effects have also been demonstrated in young animals and include depressed growth rate and interference with energy and nitrogen metabolism. These changes are largely related to infection with the abomasal worm Ostertagia ostertagi, which appears to be the most important pathogen in the U.S.A. and sometimes accounts for over 90% of the worm burden. In this presentation, the magnitude of the problem will be compared to young and mature dairy cattle and control strategies suggested.

description: Task 2.3 of work package 2 (Advancing biological knowledge and evaluation of current stock assessment models) focuses on the compilation of biological, ecological and fisheries dependent and fisheries independent data that is required for other FarFish WPs. During the first year of FarFish, some modifications in the objectives occurred, resulting in changes in the species. For example, in the Cape Verde and Seychelles CSs, the focus is now on by-catch species that are not assessed by the Regional Management Fisheries Organizations (RMFO): the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) and the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC). Lists of species for each CS have now been drawn up, sources of data identified, contacts have been made with RMFOs and DG MARE, and data is being compiled. Data compilation has been largely driven by the FarFish Data Base (FFDB) template developed in WP 6 (see deliverables D6.1 and D6.4). On the other hand, other data required for visualization purposes, especially time series, is also being compiled or requested. A formal data request is being prepared for DG MARE, while coastal state CS participants will be requested to provide data for the FFDB. Talks are also ongoing with RFMOs, especially CECAF, regarding data acquisition and how FarFish can contribute or add value to assessment and management. Actions that need to be taken by Task 2.3 participants include the provision of data and uploading of data to the FFDB. Task 2.3 is ongoing (Report on biological and ecological data in FFDB pilot version 2, due in Month 26 (July 31, 2019).

description: The most successful method to obtain lower bounds for the minimum distance of an algebraic geometric code is the order bound, which generalizes the Feng-Rao bound. We provide a significant extension of the bound that improves the order bounds by Beelen and by Duursma and Park. We include an exhaustive numerical comparison of the different bounds for 10168 two-point codes on the Suzuki curve of genus g=124 over the field of 32 elements. Keywords: algebraic geometric code, order bound, Suzuki curve.

Aperiodic Order and Singular Spectra
Creators: name: Gohlke, Philipp
Publisher: name: Universität Bielefeld
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: 510

description: This work focuses on several models of aperiodic order and their applications in different areas of mathematics and mathematical physics. After a short introduction to the theory of dynamicals systems, we present random substitutions as a stochastic variant of substitutions which create symbolic dynamical systems that combine long-range order with a positive entropy. Using renormalization techniques, we obtain expressions for the entropy, diffraction, and ergodic measures of such systems. In the second part, we investigate spectral properties of Schrödinger operators that are associated with non-primitive substitution systems and dynamically defined product systems. Finally we perform a multifractal analysis of a particular spectral measure that has become known as the Thue--Morse measure.
On the Schrodinger-Poisson-Slater system: behavior of minimizers, radial and nonradial cases

Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)
subject: FOS: Mathematics
subject: 35J10, 35J20, 35J60, 35Q55

description: This paper is motivated by the study of a version of the so-called Schrodinger-Poisson-Slater problem: $$ - Δu + ωu + λ(u^2 \star \frac{1}{|x|}) u=|u|^{p-2}u,$$ where $u \in H^1(\R^3)$. We are concerned mostly with $p \in (2,3)$. The behavior of radial minimizers motivates the study of the static case $ω=0$. Among other things, we obtain a general lower bound for the Coulomb energy, that could be useful in other frameworks. The radial and nonradial cases turn out to yield essentially different situations.

Year: 1982

description: The laboratory evaluation of acid base and electrolyte status in cattle has two purposes. The data are useful to identify pathogenic mechanisms and hence, diagnosis, and secondly, the data are a prerequisite to effective fluid therapy. The serum measurements required are Na+, K +, Cland HCOJ- concentrations. The latter is commonly measured as "total CO2 content" (TCO2). These anions and cations are routinely measured by flame photometry, ionspecific analyzer or other instrumentation common to all medical or veterinary laboratories.

Diastrophic evolution of Western Papua and New Guinea.
Creators: name: Smith, Jan Gerald
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: There are four main phases in the diastrophic evolution of western Papua and New Guinea: (1) a Mesozoic phase of taphrogen6sis (geosyncline formation) characterized by the fragmentation of a pre-Mesozoic cratonic platform into a series of intrageosynclinal troughs and geanticlines which constituted the Papuan geosynclinal system. This phase was accompanied by basic volcanism and ultrabasic plutonism, (2) A Paleogene phase defined by the temporary stabilization of the geosynclinal system and the development of an extensive quasi-platform regime. (3) A lower and Middle Miocene phase of retrogressive taphrogeneds marked by remobilization of the earlier geosynclinal terrain and again by important volcanism. (4) An Upper Miocene to Recent orogenic phase dominated by the uplift of the Papuan geosynclinal system to form the New Guinea cordillera. Uplift was associated with the formation of an exogeosynclinal trough, foreland folding and andesitic volcanism. The Papuan geosynclinal system is thought to have formed primarily as the result of extensional stresses within the earth's crust, although there is strong evidence that-simple shear, translation and rotation have also contributed to the total deformation of the orogen. These fundamental horizontal movements have served as a framework for the intense vertical oscillations that characterized the development of the Papuan geosyncline and the adjacent platform. The vertical movements culminated in the uplift of the New Guinea cordillera and the formation of two distinct patterns of folding and faulting. The first type of folding is of a secular nature and is intimately linked with the uplift of the orogen. These primary folds are represented by the large horst-like anticlinoria which form the backbone of the main cordillera. The second type of folding is episodic in nature and is the secondary consequence of orogenic uplift. These are the foreland folded structures of the Papuan foothills which originated as the result of gravity sliding off the flank of the rising orogen.

description: We present a compilation of spectral energy distributions of 35 weak AGNs in LINERs using recent data from the published literature. We make use of previously published compilations of data, after complementing and extending them with more recent data. The main improvement in the recent data is afforded by high-spatial resolution observations with the Chandra X-Ray Observatory and high-spatial resolution radio observations utilizing a number of facilities. In addition, a considerable number of objects have been observed with the HST in the near-IR through near-UV bands since the earlier compilations were published. The data include upper limits resulting from either non-detections or observations at low spatial resolution that do not isolate the AGN. For the sake of completeness, we also compute and present a number of quantities from the data, such as alpha-ox, bolometric corrections, bolometric luminosities, Eddington ratios, and the average SED. We anticipate that these data will be useful for a number of applications. In a companion paper, we use a subset of these data ourselves to assess the energy budgets of LINERs.
