On automating the accessioning process in a clinical pathology laboratory
Creators: name: Bridges, Herbert James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In the Clinical Pathology Laboratory, one of the most-exacting and time consuming operations is that of accessioning. This term encompasses those operations concerned with the separation of test specimens into subsamples for multiple testing and the preparation of records to retain the identity of the sub-samples as they progress through the laboratory. This thesis contains a description of an automated accessioning unit that, when interfaced to a DEC PDP-9 general-purpose digital computer is capable of performing the accessioning function. The computer maintains the necessary records while the mechanical unit performs the sample splitting operation. Initial sample identification is performed by the card stub reader in a modified IBM 1084 sampler-reader. Samples are separated by a fixed splitter, in which each output is valve controlled. The subsamples are pumped to multiple tray loading stations. The trays are identified via a photo-transistor read head that senses a code built into each tray. The computer also controls the tray rotation and the filler arm independently at each station. All mechanical operations attempted by the computer are verified by appropriated sensors. A thirty-two channel scanning digital multiplexer was designed to monitor these feedback signals. Software concepts were developed to operate the device within the Keyboard Monitor Software environment of the PDP-9. The software was designed to permit shared execution of the accessioning unit controlling program and any other program system desired, with minimum restrictions on that system.

description: Simultaneous measurements of the small-, intermediate- and large- positive ions and air earth current density made at a coastal station, Maitri at Antarctica during January to February 2005, are reported. Although, small and large positive ion concentrations do not show any systematic diurnal variations, variations in them are almost similar to each other. On the other hand, variations in intermediate positive ion concentrations are independent of variations in the small/large positive ions and exhibit a diurnal variation which is similar to that in atmospheric temperature on fair weather days with a maximum during the day and minimum during the night hours. No such diurnal variation in intermediate positive ion concentration is observed on cloudy days when variations in them are also similar to those insmall/large positive ion concentrations. Magnitude of diurnal variation in intermediate positive ion concentration on fair weather days increases with the lowering of atmospheric temperature in this season. Scavenging of ions by snowfall and trapping of Alha - rays from the ground radioactivity by a thin layer of snow on ground, is demonstrated from observations. Variations in intermediate positive ion concentration are explained on the basis of the formation of new particles by the photolytic nucleation process.

description: We study power series and analyticity in the quaternionic setting. We first consider a function f defined as the sum of a quaternionic power series centered at 0 in its domain of convergence (which is a ball B(0,R) centered at 0). At each point p of this ball, f admits expansions in terms of appropriately defined 'regular power series centered at p'. The expansion holds in a ball Sigma(p, R-|p|), defined with respect to a (non-Euclidean) distance sigma. We thus say that f is 'sigma-analytic' in B(0,R). Furthermore, we remark that Sigma(p, R-|p|) is not always an Euclidean neighborhood of p; when it is, we say that f is 'quaternionic analytic' at p. It turns out that f is quaternionic analytic only near the real axis. We then relate these notions of anayticity to the class of regular quaternionic functions introduced in Adv. Math. 216 (2007), 279-301, and recently extended. Indeed, sigma-analyticity proves equivalent to regularity, in the same way as complex analyticity is equivalent to holomorphy. Hence the theory of regular quaternionic functions, which is quickly developing, reveals a new feature that reminds the nice properties of holomorphic complex functions.

description: We introduce an ensemble of infinite causal triangulations, called the uniform infinite causal triangulation, and show that it is equivalent to an ensemble of infinite trees, the uniform infinite planar tree. It is proved that in both cases the Hausdorff dimension almost surely equals 2. The infinite causal triangulations are shown to be almost surely recurrent or, equivalently, their spectral dimension is almost surely less than or equal to 2. We also establish that for certain reduced versions of the infinite causal triangulations the spectral dimension equals 2 both for the ensemble average and almost surely. The triangulation ensemble we consider is equivalent to the causal dynamical triangulation model of two-dimensional quantum gravity and therefore our results apply to that model.

Do squarks have to be degenerate? Constraining the mass splitting with Kaon and D mixing

description: We study the constraints on the mass-splitting of the first two generations of left-handed squarks obtained from Delta M_K, epsilon_K and D mixing. The different contributions from gluino, neutralino and chargino diagrams are examined in detail, concluding that it is not justified to neglect electroweak gaugino diagrams if the squark mass matrices contain flavor non-diagonal LL elements. We find that the constraints on the mass-splitting are very strong for light gluino masses. However, if the gluino is heavier than the squarks the constraints on the mass-splitting are much weaker. There are even large regions in parameter space where the different NP contributions cancel each other, leaving the mass-splitting nearly unconstrained.

description: We study the influence of the shape of compact dimensions to the Casimir energy and Casimir force of a scalar field. We examine both the massive and the massless scalar field. The total spacetime topology is $M^D\times T^2_θ$, where $M^D$ is the $D$ dimensional Minkowski spacetime and $T^2_θ$ the twisted torus described by $R_1$, $R_2$ and $θ$. For the case $R_1=R_2$ we found that the massive bulk scalar field Casimir energy is singular for $D$=even and this singularity is $R$-dependent and remains even when the force is calculated. Also the massless Casimir energy and force is regular only for D=4 (!). This is very interesting phenomenologically. We examine the energy and force as a function of $θ$. Also we address the stabilization problem of the compact space. We also briefly discuss some phenomenological implications.

A Study of Wall-Crossing: Flavored Kinks in D=2 QED

description: We study spectrum of D=2 N=(2,2) QED with N+1 massive charged chiral multiplets, with care given to precise supermultiplet countings. In the infrared the theory flows to CP^N model with twisted masses, where we construct generic flavored kink solitons for the large mass regime, and study their quantum degeneracies. These kinks are qualitatively different and far more numerous than those of small mass regime, with features reminiscent of multi-pronged (p,q) string web, complete with the wall-crossing behavior. It has been also conjectured that spectrum of this theory is equivalent to the hypermultiplet spectrum of a certain D=4 Seiberg-Witten theory. We find that the correspondence actually extends beyond hypermultiplets in D=4, and that many of the relevant indices match. However, a D=2 BPS state is typically mapped to several different kind of dyons whose individual supermultiplets are rather complicated; the match of index comes about only after summing over indices of these different dyons. We note general wall-crossing behavior of flavored BPS kink states, and compare it to those of D=4 dyons.

description: Synopsis: This books presents the most comprehensive description and analysis to date of Hebrew morphology, with an emphasis on the verbal templates. Its aim is to develop a theory of argument structure alternations which is anchored in the syntax but has systematic interfaces with the phonology and the semantics. Concretely, the monograph argues for a specific formal system centered around possible values of the head Voice. The formal assumptions are as similar as possible to those made in work on non-Semitic languages. The first part of the book (four chapters) is devoted to Hebrew; the second part (two chapters) compares the current theory with other approaches to Voice and argument structure in the recent literature.
Stabilization and optimization of a power system with sensitivity considerations.
Creators: name: Wedman, Leonard Nickolaus
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: An investigation is made into some aspects of the analysis and design of high order systems. The problems treated are system stabilization, parameter optimization, computation of an optimal controller and parameter sensitivity. The methods developed for solving these problems are applied to a 9ᵗʰ order linearized power system. To stabilize the system, an eigenvalue shift technique is used. Eigensystem sensitivity analysis is applied to determine both the parameter change required and the new eigensystem after the change has been made. A correction method is applied to the new eigensystem for improving accuracy in order that large steps in parameter change may be taken. This method is subsequently used in an optimization procedure for parameter setting to minimize a cost functional of quadratic form. For the computation of an optimal controller, Puri and Gruver's successive approximation method is used in conjunction with a fast recursive method developed for solving each approximation of the Ricatti matrix. The calculation can be initiated by the eigenvalue shifting method to ensure that the system is initially stable. Finally, a time response sensitivity study is made using a method developed for simultaneous sensitivity function determination. This method reduces computation time significantly over the conventional method ⁽⁹⁾ thus enabling the investigation of time response sensitivity to a large number of parameters. The results of the sensitivity study are then applied to the design of a suboptimal controller.

description: We analytically and numerically study the effect of perturbative gluons emission on the "Filtering analysis", which is part of a subjet analysis procedure proposed two years ago to possibly identify a low-mass Higgs boson decaying into b\bar{b} at the LHC. This leads us to examine the non-global structure of the resulting perturbative series in the leading single-log large-N_c approximation, including all-orders numerical results, simple analytical approximations to them and comments on the structure of their series expansion. We then use these results to semi-analytically optimize the parameters of the Filtering analysis so as to suppress as much as possible the effect of underlying event and pile-up on the Higgs mass peak reconstruction while keeping the major part of the perturbative radiation from the b\bar{b} dipole.

description: Chemotaxis is typically modeled in the context of cellular motion towards a static, exogenous source of chemoattractant. Here, we propose a time-dependent mechanism of chemotaxis in which a self-propelled particle ({\it e.g.}, a cell) releases a chemical that diffuses to fixed particles (targets) and signals the production of a second chemical by these targets. The particle then moves up concentration gradients of this second chemical, analogous to diffusive echolocation. When one target is present, we describe probe release strategies that optimize travel of the cell to the target. In the presence of multiple targets, the one selected by the cell depends on the strength and, interestingly, on the frequency of probe chemical release. Although involving an additional chemical signaling step, our chemical ``pinging'' hypothesis allows for greater flexibility in regulating target selection, as seen in a number of physical or biological realizations.

description: Synopsis: This book discusses the two main construals of the explanatory goals of semantic theories. The first, externalist conception, understands semantic theories in terms of a hermeneutic and interpretive explanatory project. The second, internalist conception, understands semantic theories in terms of the psychological mechanisms in virtue of which meanings are generated. It is argued that a fruitful scientific explanation is one that aims to uncover the underlying mechanisms in virtue of which the observable phenomena are made possible, and that a scientific semantics should be doing just that. If this is the case, then a scientific semantics is unlikely to be externalist, for reasons having to do with the subject matter and form of externalist theories. It is argued that semantics construed hermeneutically is nevertheless a valuable explanatory project.

New Mountain, New River, New Home? The Tasmanian Hmong
Creators: name: Eldridge, M
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This study examines the first group of largely preliterate refugees resettled in Tasmania after the 1975 Communist takeover of Laos. Hill tribe people, the Tasmanian Hmong left Laos and spent years in Thai refugee camps. This thesis examines the possible reasons for their secondary migration to various locations in Queensland. Their departure from Tasmania raised questions about why this apparently well-settled community left the island. For example, many people assumed it was because of Tasmania's cool climate. The thesis creates a context in which to examine the Hmong's motivation to leave the island state, with reference to theories of migration, diaspora and globalisation. Oral histories draw out the stories of individual Hmong, their involvement in the Secret War in Indo-China, the escape from Laos, life in Thai refugee camps, their resettlement in Tasmania and subsequent departure for Queensland. Hmong informants include those remaining in Tasmania, those who left for Queensland and those who later returned to Tasmania. These interviews are balanced with voices of professionals and volunteers involved in settlement of the Hmong. Participant observation and itinerant ethnography have been employed, making use of everyday opportunities to collect information from which to develop ideas and to explain the secondary migration of the Hmong. This 'history from below', places value on the stories of ordinary people as a valuable resource. The research concludes that, in addition to the desire to create a mega-community of Hmong in Queensland ‚ÄövÑvÆ in an attempt to counter loss of tradition and culture, and build Hmong cohesiveness ‚ÄövÑvÆ secondary migration was influenced by a desire for family reunification and a strong economic motive. It demonstrates that secondary migration is typical of many refugee communities. In particular, the secondary migrations observed in diasporic Hmong communities have parallels with migrations of Hmong from China and with traditional movements in Laos, where swidden agriculture requires establishment of new villages when depleted soil or sickness affects settlements. The research is important because there has been little recorded about the Hmong community in Tasmania, nor about other Australian Hmong communities. Since the once vibrant Hobart community is now a remnant population, it is important to place on record its story as part of recent social history. In examining a refugee community such as the Hmong, this thesis offers an investigation of the circumstances of becoming refugees, an analysis of settlement experiences and an exploration into the context and reasons for secondary migration. In addition, it provides an entry into comparative research on other refugee communities, which has relevance for those who work with refugees and are interested in their demographics.

Placemaking, urban design and power relations in a local government context : the case of Glenorchy, Tasmania
Creators: name: Ancher, K
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Redefining local government's role in urban planning to incorporate a number of the principles of sustainability ‚Äö- participation in local affairs and the enhancement of quality of life chief among them ‚Äö- is both complex and dynamic, requiring Council staff and elected representatives to be highly skilled and communities to be highly responsive. In short, they must engage. This research investigates how place-making may provide a mechanism for people to work together in multi-disciplinary teams, share power and decision-making, develop skills and be part of processes to plan, design, construct and manage place. Place-making is a powerful expression of communities' capacities to develop sense of belonging, confidence and worth. Focusing on one local government, the City of Glenorchy in the island state of Tasmania, Australia, three questions arise in this research: What is the role of the urban designer in collaborative place-making? What are the functions of municipal governments in such activities, given their central role in the management of settlements at the 'small' or 'local' scale? What might an understanding of the shifting operations of power provide in addressing these other questions, given that many urban designers are employed by local governments to 'serve' local communities in place? Using qualitative research methods, I investigate how elected representatives, Council staff and community members living or working in Glenorchy have addressed such questions. Four methods have been used to enlighten my research and data collection. The first was an interpretive analysis of a wide range of secondary literature. The second was the administration of two surveys, one involving Aldermen, Council staff, City of Glenorchy residents and another administered among participants and organisers involved in an event known as the 2003 Glenorchy Works Festival. The third was the use of in-depth interviews held with organisers of the Festival and included opportunistic conversations with Festival participants. Finally, using autoethnographic approaches I documented and reflected upon my own position as an urban designer in a discussion of a number of the place-making projects in which I was involved. My conclusions from these efforts are that place-making can provide a mechanism by which community engagement fosters cooperation among people working together in multi-disciplinary teams, sharing power and decision-making, developing skills and being part of processes to plan, design, construct and manage place. Nevertheless, one must always be mindful of power-over and its contingent operations through such forms of community engagement.

description: Traditionally, inflationary models are analyzed in terms of parameters such as the scalar spectral index ns and the tensor to scalar ratio r, while dark energy models are studied in terms of the equation of state parameter w. Motivated by the fact that both deal with periods of accelerated expansion, we study the evolution of w during inflation, in order to derive observational constraints on its value during an earlier epoch likely dominated by a dynamic form of dark energy. We find that the cosmic microwave background and large-scale structure data is consistent with w_inflation=-1 and provides an upper limit of 1+w

description: he segment minimization problem consists of finding the smallest set of integer matrices that sum to a given intensity matrix, such that each summand has only one non-zero value, and the non-zeroes in each row are consecutive. This has direct applications in intensity-modulated radiation therapy, an effective form of cancer treatment. We develop three approximation algorithms for matrices with arbitrarily many rows. Our first two algorithms improve the approximation factor from the previous best of $1+\log_2 h $ to (roughly) $3/2 \cdot (1+\log_3 h)$ and $11/6\cdot(1+\log_4{h})$, respectively, where $h$ is the largest entry in the intensity matrix. We illustrate the limitations of the specific approach used to obtain these two algorithms by proving a lower bound of $\frac{(2b-2)}{b}\cdot\log_b{h} + \frac{1}{b}$ on the approximation guarantee. Our third algorithm improves the approximation factor from $2 \cdot (\log D+1)$ to $24/13 \cdot (\log D+1)$, where $D$ is (roughly) the largest difference between consecutive elements of a row of the intensity matrix. Finally, experimentation with these algorithms shows that they perform well with respect to the optimum and outperform other approximation algorithms on 77% of the 122 test cases we consider, which include both real world and synthetic data.

In the postoperative period, patients operated on for thyroid disease develop changes in certain higher mental functions: impaired concentration, short-term and visual memory. Anesthesia with the additional use of Cytoflavin promotes earlier awakening of patients, restoration of acid base balance and oxidative-recovery processes after anesthesia, and there is no significant suppression of higher mental functions.

In this article, we present an interpretation of many worlds that is based on superposition and non-collapsing wave functions and proves the simultaneous existence of two deuterium nuclei in superposition, which leads to a tunnel beyond strong, weak and electromagnetic forces, a theoretical demonstration of fusion at matter densities much less than the Lawsons criteria. The need for sowing to achieve this coherence has been demonstrated analogously to the principles of cloud sowing.

description: Sorghum is quite sensitive to the influence of simple agronomic practices on the optimization of feeding areas. Thus, slow plant growth at the beginning of the growing season can have a significant impact on plant growth and development and yield formation. Therefore, for the correct decision-making on crop optimization, it is important to evaluate the obtained experimental data by multidimensional methods of analysis. Thus, the results of cluster analysis of biometric indicators of sorghum found that the density, regardless of the width between rows, hybrids are grouped into a cluster that includes options 160-180 thousand pieces / ha, the next cluster includes options for growing different hybrids with a density of 200-220 thousand pcs / ha and another with a density of 240 thousand pcs/ha. But the analysis of yield and quality indicators of grain sorghum showed a fairly high plasticity of the studied hybrids in response to growing conditions. However, high-yielding hybrids Lan 59 and Burggo for growing them with a row spacing of 45 cm and seeding rates of 200-240 thousand units/ha formed a separate cluster. Thus, properly selected varietal farming techniques are a prerequisite for the disclosure of the biological potential of plants.

A Detailed Far-Ultraviolet Spectral Atlas of Main Sequence B Stars
Creators: name: Smith, Myron A.
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We have constructed a detailed spectral atlas covering the wavelength region 930A to 1225A for 10 sharp-lined B0-B9 stars near the main sequence. Most of the spectra we assembled are from the archives of the FUSE satellite, but for nine stars wavelength coverage above 1188A was taken from high-resolution IUE or echelle HST/STIS spectra. To represent the tenth star at type B0.2 V we used the Copernicus atlas of tau Sco. We made extensive line identifications in the region 949A to 1225A of all atomic features having published oscillator strengths at types B0, B2, and B8. These are provided as a supplementary data product - hence the term detailed atlas. Our list of found features totals 2288, 1612, and 2469 lines, respectively. We were able to identify 92%, 98%, and 98% of these features with known atomic transitions with varying degrees of certainty in these spectra. The remaining lines do not have published oscillator strengths. Photospheric lines account for 94%, 87%, and 91%, respectively, of all our iden- tifications, with the remainder being due to interstellar (usually molecular H2) lines. We also discuss the numbers of lines with respect to the distributions of various ions for these three most studied spectral subtypes. A table is also given of 167 least blended lines that can be used as possible diagnostics of physical conditions in B star atmospheres.

Poodle-isation : a personal response to animal modification
Creators: name: Rowe, AJ
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Poodle-¬¨‚â†isation: A personal response to animal modification is a project inspired by personal anecdote: an empathic encounter with a show poodle, a creature with a complex history of having its appearance modified to satisfy humans. In this project I examine the encounter to discover it is the poodle's ability and willingness to transform from non‚ÄövÑv™show poodle to show poodle that I identify with in my experiences as a young daughter. Poodle-¬¨‚â†isation represents my conceptualisation of the experience that I define as 'a woman's empathetic self-identification with a show poodle, particularly its \desire\" to please its primary caregiver through compliance'. I bring to my investigation the belief that the actions and responses of the caregiver and poodle mother and daughter are motivated by love and affection contributing to the development of the concept's key principles - performance compliancy and control and explore this via the writings of Yi-Fu Tuan. The project is an investigation into how an empathic response to another species influences the creation of my artwork within the sculpture studio arguing the intention of my art practice lies with the modification of my appearance and not the anthropomorphism of the poodle's. Examination of the use of terms poodle-¬¨‚â†isation poodle-¬¨‚â†ise and poodle in historical and contemporary language establishes a point of difference with my adaptation of the term including the identification of and reliance upon the positive qualities and attributes of this dog breed. The project is inspired by contemporary artists whose realistic interpretations of the poodle evoke non-stereotypical responses (for example Banksy Kate Ellis and Dominic McGill) whilst appreciating the reliance other artists have upon the enduring stereotypes associated with the poodle to express ideas associated with the identification of female gender (for example Katharina Fritsch and Martin Eder). The artwork of Polly Verity inspired creative thought about my choice use and methods of working with various media and was especially relevant to understanding the psychological implications associated with the creation of my welded forms and using shadows within the final presentation. The identification and creation of symbols motifs and the representation of various sources of inspiration (for example dog shows topiary cynocephali indicators of femininity and vintage poodle memorabilia) contribute to the appreciation of similarities between show poodles and my experience as a young daughter."

description: We introduce the new notion of epsilon-graded associative algebras which takes its root into the notion of commutation factors introduced in the context of Lie algebras. We define and study the associated notion of epsilon-derivation-based differential calculus, which generalizes the derivation-based differential calculus on associative algebras. A corresponding notion of noncommutative connection is also defined. We illustrate these considerations with various examples of epsilon-graded algebras, in particular some graded matrix algebras and the Moyal algebra. This last example permits also to interpret mathematically a noncommutative gauge field theory.

Dielectric properties of thin insulating films
Creators: name: Wilcox, Philip Stanley
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The dielectric polarization processes, conduction mechanisms and space charge effects occurring in tantalum / tantalum pentoxide / metal devices are investigated. The dielectric properties are analyzed on the basis of an ionic relaxation process with a nearly flat distribution of activation energies. This distribution leads to step response polarization currents following an inverse time law. The effect of an injected electronic space charge on the response of the device due to the removal of a step voltage is analyzed and results are given demonstrating this effect. The devices used exhibit a rectification behaviour. For tantalum positive the currents follow a Schottky law and for tantalum negative, the bulk Poole-Frenkel law. Hysteresis effects are observed as well as the effects of a space charge on the Schottky law currents. On one sample, sufficiently high fields causes an increase in the conductance by a factor of 10³ to 10⁵. For this deformed sample, no hysteresis or rectification is observed and the currents follow a Schottky law for both polarities. The validity of the ionic relaxation model is discussed in light of the observed dielectric losses at low temperatures. The experimental results indicate that an electronic rather than an ionic process could be responsible for the dielectric losses.
