description: Here we show that the overabundance of ultra-luminous, compact X-ray sources (ULXs) associated with moderately young clusters in interacting galaxies such as the Antennae and Cartwheel can be given an alternative explanation that does not involve the presence of intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs). We argue that gas density within these systems is enhanced by the collective potential of the cluster prior to being accreted onto the individual cluster members and, as a result, the aggregate X-ray luminosity arising from the neutron star cluster members can exceed $>10^{39} {\rm erg s^{-1}}$. Various observational tests to distinguish between IMBHs and accreting neutron star cusps are discussed.

Electron paramagnetic resonance of phosphorus doped silicon in the intermediate impurity concentration range
Creators: name: Cullis, Pieter Rutter
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The EPR properties of phosphorus-doped, silicon samples were investigated through the temperature range 11°K ≤ T ≤ 35°K and the impurity concentration range 5 x 10¹⁶ donors/cm³ ≤ N[sub d] ≤ 2 x 10¹⁸ donors/cm³. Rapid passage spectra obtained are interpreted directly as undifferentiated absorption envelope spectra. Slow passage absorption derivative signals were integrated to obtain similar absorption envelope. These absorption envelope spectra were decomposed into the three major components observed--a broad centre line (BCL), two hyperfine lines, and a discrete central pair line. Each of these components is found to be characterized by a symmetric "Voigt profile" lineshape—i.e. by a convolution of a Gaussian envelope function with Lorentzian "spin packets". Spin lattice relaxation times and spin packet widths were measured for each of these components as functions of temperature and concentration. These data appear to be consistent with the proposal that the hyperfine line spins cross-relax with faster relaxing BCL spins. The extrinsic hyperfine spin-lattice relaxation times are noted to be temperature dependent according to T[sup H/ sub 1] ∝T[sup -3/2]. The "g" values of the hyperfine lines and BCL were determined at various temperatures and impurity concentrations„ Both lines are observed to exhibit effective "g" shifts as the impurity concentration is increased. These "g" shifts are shown to be inconsistent with the ferromagnetic exchange model of Morigaki and Maekawa. The relative susceptibility of the BCL as a function of impurity concentration is shown to be reasonably consistent with the conjecture that the BCL arises primarily from clusters of three or more impurities. All observed effects would indicate that the BCL is the precursor of the single EPR line observed for more heavily doped samples.

description: During the last ten years or so, derivations of the Born rule based on decision theory have been proposed and developed, and it is claimed that these are valid in the context of the Everett interpretation. This claim is critically assessed and it is shown that one of its key assumptions, although natural in the context of the Copenhagen interpretation, is not consistent with that of Everett. It is further argued that any interpretation that relates outcome likelihood to the expansion coefficients connecting the wavefunction with the eigenfunctions of the measurement operator must be inconsistent with the Everett interpretation.

description: Random walk simulation of the Levy flight shows a linear relation between the mean square displacement and time. We have analyzed different aspects of this linearity. It is shown that the restriction of jump length to a maximum value (lm) affects the diffusion coefficient, even though it remains constant for lm greater than 1464. So, this factor has no effect on the linearity. In addition, it is shown that the number of samples does not affect the results. We have demonstrated that the relation between the mean square displacement and time remains linear in a continuous space, while continuous variables just reduce the diffusion coefficient. The results are also implied that the movement of a levy flight particle is similar to the case the particle moves in each time step with an average length of jumping . Finally, it is shown that the non-linear relation of the Levy flight will be satisfied if we use time average instead of ensemble average. The difference between time average and ensemble average results points that the Levy distribution may be a non-ergodic distribution.

Green infrastructure and green infrastructure planning : a review of concepts and practices with particular reference to Berlin, Germany
Creators: name: Carne, RJ
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This study aims to clarify the nature and characteristics of green infrastructure and green infrastructure planning; to identify general planning principles for green infrastructure; and to formulate pertinent research questions with respect to green infrastructure planning. A literature review and Berlin case study are employed to achieve these aims. While there are numerous definitions of green infrastructure, it is generally considered to comprise a network of green spaces and water features. Two key characteristics of green infrastructure are identified viz. multifunctionality and connectivity. These lend some commonality to what may at first appear as disparate definitions. Importantly, green infrastructure makes a critical contribution to the three components of sustainability viz. environment, economy and equity. The multifunctional nature of green infrastructure is pivotal in this role, whether one is considering functions or benefits. Green infrastructure planning is a strategic planning approach which aims to create multifunctional networks across landscape scales, from regional to city to neighbourhood. It can be viewed as an activity within the field of landscape planning, and has links to urban planning, regional development planning and social planning. The case study city, Berlin, has a strong focus on this sort of planning, with its Land Use Plan providing a framework for a city-wide green infrastructure characterised by both connectivity and multifunctionality. As for green infrastructure planning principles, three examples spanning the years 2006 to 2016 are reviewed. The influence of landscape ecology is pervasive, particularly in regard to connectivity. Two additional principles (along with strategies) are suggested. The first is: green infrastructure planning should emulate 'indispensable patterns' in both urban and rural landscapes; and the second: green infrastructure planning should be aligned with the statutory land use planning process. Finally, a number of general and Berlin-specific research questions are put forward. It is also suggested there is a need for a comparative case studies between cities, since studies across locations are relatively rare. It is concluded that green infrastructure is a significant and increasingly influential concept. In dealing with this complex and multi-faceted concept, green infrastructure planning has several significant challenges, one of the more important is how to integrate it within the statutory land use planning process, or at the very least, how to maximise its influence on that process. At stake is not only the continued implementation of sustainable development, but also progress in the urgent task of climate change mitigation and adaptation.
title: Wittgenstein on Freedom of the Will
Creators: name: Marler, Grant Allen
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 1996

description: This thesis is an exposition and clarification of two lectures on freedom of the will delivered by Ludwig Wittgenstein in 1939. Wittgenstein asks whether it makes sense to say that the "decision of a person was not free because it was determined by natural laws." I offer a brief explanation and defense of Wittgenstein's method of linguistic analysis, then proceed in its spirit. Associated with the words 'determined' and 'free' are certain pictures which, if misapplied, may lead us to misjudge their function. Among these are the picture of natural laws as "rails" that compel events, and that the meaning of a word is an object to which it corresponds. Confusion also arises if we overlook grammatical distinctions between forms of explanation, or the asymmetry of meaning between the first and third-person use of psychological terms. Ultimately, I support and develop Wittgenstein's position that attributions of free will are made not in accordance with an abstract conception or theory but from within a multiplicity of human practices and expectations.

description: Young radio-loud active galactic nuclei form an important tool to investigate the evolution of extragalactic radio sources. To study the early phases of expanding radio sources, we have constructed CORALZ, a sample of 25 compact ($θ<2"$) radio sources associated with nearby ($z<0.16$) galaxies. In this paper we determine the morphologies, linear sizes, and put first constraints on the lobe expansion speeds of the sources in the sample. We observed the radio sources from the CORALZ sample with MERLIN at 1.4 GHz or 1.6 GHz, the EVN at 1.6 GHz, and global VLBI at 1.6 GHz and/or 5.0 GHz. Radio maps, morphological classifications, and linear sizes are presented for all sources in the CORALZ sample. We have determined a first upper limit to the expansion velocity of one of the sources, which is remarkably low compared to the brighter GPS sources at higher redshifts, indicating a relation between radio luminosity and expansion speed, in agreement with analytical models. In addition we present further strong evidence that the spectral turnovers in GPS and CSS sources are caused by synchrotron self-absorption (SSA): the CORALZ sources are significantly offset from the well-known correlation between spectral peak frequency and angular size, but this correlation is recovered after correcting for the flux-density dependence, as predicted by SSA theory.

Image isocon television system for the detection of astronomical spectra
Creators: name: Buchholz, Vernon Lawrence
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A complete system for the detection and recording of astronomical spectra has been constructed using an image isocon (E.E.V. P850) television tube as detector. The detector will accomodate two spectra 80 millimeters in length and has the spectral response of an S-20 photocathode. Recording is onto IBM-compatible magnetic tape via an on-line computer. The user is also provided with a real time display of the spectra on an oscilloscope via the computer. A description of the video signal circuits is given. Schematic diagrams of the control unit constructed by the author and the modified camera are shown. A method of determining the modulation transfer function of the detector, based on the Fourier analysis of the signal output for a known signal input, is described. The MTF as a function of light level, exposure time, and target temperature is investigated. It can be seen that the best MTF for a particular exposure time occurs at the lowest target temperature. The MTF far exceeds that predicted as the maximum by direct application of the analysis of Krittman (1962). It is assumed that the Krittman analysis can not be applied to the P850 image isocon with its large target mesh-to-target spacing and thin target.

description: Many observers consider the most important responsibility of the board of directors its responsibility to hire and fire the CEO. To this end, an interesting situation arises when a CEO resigns and the board chooses neither an internal nor external candidate, but a current board member as successor. Why would a company make such a decision? In this Closer Look, we examine this question in detail. We ask: What does it say about a company’s succession plan when the board appoints a current director as CEO? What is the process by which the board makes this decision? Are directors-turned-CEO the most qualified candidates, or do they represent a stop-gap measure? What does the sudden nature of these transitions say about the board’s ability to monitor performance?

description: We study the evolution of non-periodic cosmic string loops containing Y-junctions, such as may form during the evolution of a network of (p,q) cosmic superstrings. We set up and solve the Nambu-Goto equations of motion for a loop with junctions, focusing attention on a specific static and planar initial loop configuration. After a given time, the junctions collide and the Nambu-Goto description breaks down. We also study the same loop configuration in a U(1)xU(1) field theory model that allows composite vortices with corresponding Y-junctions. We show that the field theory and Nambu-Goto evolution are remarkably similar until the collision time. However, in the field theory evolution a new phenomenon occurs: the composite vortices can unzip, producing in the process new Y-junctions, whose separation may grow significantly, destabilizing the configuration. In particular, an initial loop with two Y-junctions may evolve to a configuration with six Y-junctions (all distant from each other). Setting up this new configuration as an initial condition for Nambu Goto strings, we solve for its evolution and establish conditions under which it is stable to the decay mode seen in the field theory case. Remarkably, the condition closely matches that seen in the field theory simulations, and is expressed in terms of simple parameters of the Nambu-Goto system. This implies that there is an easy way to understand the instability in terms of which region of parameter space leads to stable or unstable unzippings.

The small GTPase RAB18: Insights into cellular steatosis, lipophagy and the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

description: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a rapidly growing concern for public health. Its most prevalent marker is steatosis, which is the accumulation of large lipid storage organelles called lipid droplets (LD) in the hepatocytes. RAB18, a member of the Rab family, localizes to the LD membrane. Rab family proteins are regulators of cellular membrane trafficking, therefore RAB18 is expected to play a role regulating LD biology. The presented work aims to elucidate this role as well as the mechanisms behind the localization of RAB18 to the LD membrane. The localization of RAB18 was investigated by overexpressing mutant RAB18 variants in HepG2 cells. RAB18 localization was observed to depend on the reversible cyclical palmitoylation of its C-terminus. Using FRAP experiments, it could be shown that targeting the palmitoylation machinery with small molecule inhibitors modulated RAB18 localization. This coincided with changes in LD size in cells treated with de-palmitoylation inhibitors. An overall increase in LD size was observed in HepG2 cells with RAB18 downregulation. The wild type LD size in these cells was restored by the inhibition of autophagy. This size reduction was due to newly created LDs. Inhibition of autophagy prior to LD accumulation was subsequently tested in vitro on primary human hepatocytes in sandwich culture. Inhibition of autophagy by chloroquine resulted in a dose dependent rise in LD number and a decrease in average LD size in these cells. These effects could be translated to the in vivo situation in mice. Daily chloroquine injection of mice on a steatogenic diet resulted in a significant decrease of LD size in vivo. Conversely, no changes were detected in the blood-values of treated mice compared with the control. This thesis demonstrates, that RAB18 localizes to the LD via a C-terminal acylation cycle. RAB18 reduces the size of LDs by modulating autophagy of newly formed LDs. This mechanism is important for LD number and size regulation in hepatocytes.

People at risk of homelessness : a qualitative study of housing support initiatives
Creators: name: McMaster, R
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Homeless people tend to have a number of complex medical healthcare needs sometimes exacerbated by mental illness and substance use disorders. A number of diverse programs and services are available for people who are at risk of homelessness, many of which have not been researched, particularly from clients' and service providers' perspectives. This qualitative descriptive study was informed by the conceptual framework of Social Cognitive Theory, which was used to explore a Housing Support Program (HSP) from the perspective of the clients, case managers and housing support professionals. A Maintenance Support Program (MSP) from the perspective of clients, case managers and health professionals was also investigated. Interviews and focus groups were conducted, and data were analysed using thematic analysis. Two major themes emerged. The major theme from the HSP data provided a positive overarching theme of A life-changing event: I now have a home‚ÄövÑvp for the client with three sub-themes comprising of: continuity of care, bridging the gap, and inclusion in the world. The clients described their experience as a positive one related to the assistance of the supportive case managers. The health professionals reported that the HSP is an organisation that provides a holistic approach to caring for the clients that is different from other agencies or services that are provided by both non-government and government organisations. The overarching theme that emerged from the themes and subthemes from the client data in the MSP study was A life-changing event: I have the power to change‚ÄövÑvp also consisting of three sub-themes: personal, situational and societal dimensions. This life-changing event resulted from the clients' experience of both enabling and constraining factors and this led to a feeling of power to change towards a better future. The enabling and constraining factors worked together to influence, develop and maintain the many themes of a life-changing event. At times, the constraining factors outweighed the enabling factors. In this case, the clients maintained or returned to a state of instability that limited or minimised their ability to have the power to change. The enabling aspects on the other hand provided the client with a sense of self, of movement, power and of a new beginning. This study contributes to new knowledge concerning the experience of people in a HSP and a MSP who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Through the involvement of case managers and health professionals within these programs, a life-changing event occurs. Clients within the HSP and MSP had the time to reconsider and review their lives, and are able to develop a sense of future. The findings provide insight into the constraints and enabling factors, as well as the dimensions and outcomes related to homeless support programs which could further improve the services provided to this vulnerable population.

description: Merging compact binaries are the one source of gravitational radiation so far identified. Because short-period systems which will merge in less than a Hubble time have already been observed as binary pulsars, they are important both as gravitational wave sources for observatories such as LIGO but also as progenitors for short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs). The fact that these systems must have large systemic velocities implies that by the time they merge, they will be far from their formation site. The locations of merging sites depend sensitively on the gravitational potential of the galaxy host, which until now has been assumed to be static. Here we refine such calculations to incorporate the temporal evolution of the host's gravitational potential as well as that of its nearby neighbors using cosmological simulations of structure formation. This results in merger site distributions that are more diffusively distributed with respect to their putative hosts, with locations extending out to distances of a few Mpc for lighter halos. The degree of mixing between neighboring compact binary populations computed in this way is severely enhanced in environments with a high number density of galaxies. We find that SGRB redshift estimates based solely on the nearest galaxy in projection can be very inaccurate, if progenitor systems inhere large systematic kicks at birth.

Congruent evolution of genetic and environmental robustness in microRNA

description: Genetic robustness, the preservation of an optimal phenotype in the face of mutations, is critical to the understanding of evolution as phenotypically expressed genetic variation is the fuel of natural selection. The origin of genetic robustness, whether it evolves directly by natural selection or it is a correlated byproduct of other phenotypic traits, is, however, unresolved. Examining microRNA (miRNA) genes of several eukaryotic species, Borenstein and Ruppin (Borenstein et al. 2006, PNAS 103: 6593), showed that the structure of miRNA precursor stem-loops exhibits significantly increased mutational robustness in comparison with a sample of random RNA sequences with the same stem-loop structure. The observed robustness was found to be uncorrelated with traditional measures of environmental robustness -- implying that miRNA sequences show evidence of the direct evolution of genetic robustness. These findings are surprising as theoretical results indicate that the direct evolution of robustness requires high mutation rates and/or large effective population sizes only found among RNA viruses, not multicellular eukaryotes. Introducing a novel measure of environmental robustness based on the equilibrium thermodynamic ensemble of secondary structures of the miRNA precursor sequences we demonstrate that the biophysics of RNA folding, induces a high level of correlation between genetic (mutational) and environmental (thermodynamic) robustness, as expected from the theory of plastogenetic congruence introduced by Ancel and Fontana (Ancel et al. 2000, J. Exp. Zool. 288: 242). In light of theoretical considerations we believe that this correlation strongly suggests that genetic robustness observed in miRNA sequences is the byproduct of selection for environmental robustness.

Astropy Proposal for Enhancement 9: A General Timeseries Class for Astropy (APE 9)
Creators: name: Mumford, Stuart
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The goal of a timeseries object in astropy is to provide a core set of functionality for representing data where time is the physical event list. This includes both continuous values binned in time or event list type data.

The motivation for creation of this class is to support representation and analysis of astrophysical timeseries data, including support for the Units, Time and Coordinates packages in Astropy. This object should also be compatible with other packages in the wider scientific Python ecosystem, and try to minimise overlap in functionality with these packages.

This document proposes an implementation based on Table, with extra constraints and specific functionality dedicated to timeseries type data.

Such states are expected in a wide class of models of particle dark matter, including some limits of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. We examine the conditions under which we expect bound states to occur, and use analogues of NRQCD applied to heavy quarkonia to provide estimates for their properties, including couplings to the Standard Model. We further find that it may be possible to produce WIMPonium at the LHC, and explore the properties of the WIMP that can be inferred from measurements of the WIMPonium states.

Microscopic description of hypernucleus production using fast kaons
Creators: name: Esch, Robert J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The differential cross sections for the production of definite lambda hypernuclear states, within the single scattering, impulse approximation, are calculated from the reaction n(K⁻,π⁻)Λ° on nuclear targets of helium, carbon and oxygen at various K-meson incident momentum. It is shown that these predictions are very sensitive to the three momentum transfer and to the wave function of the bound lambda in the hypernucleus. From the calculations, it is shown that it is possible to observe their production by studying the missing mass spectrum of the emitted pion.

description: We present results from modeling of quasi-simultaneous broad band (radio through X-ray) observations of the galactic stellar black hole (BH) transient X-ray binary (XRB) systems XTE J1118+480 and GX 339-4 using an irradiated disc + compact jet model. In addition to quantifying the physical properties of the jet, we have developed a new irradiated disc model which also constrains the geometry and temperature of the outer accretion disc by assuming a disc heated by viscous energy release and X-ray irradiation from the inner regions. For the source XTE J1118+480, which has better spectral coverage of the two in optical and near-IR (OIR) wavelengths, we show that the entire broad band continuum can be well described by an outflow-dominated model + an irradiated disc. The best-fit radius of the outer edge of the disc is consistent with the Roche lobe geometry of the system, and the temperature of the outer edge of the accretion disc is similar to those found for other XRBs. Irradiation of the disc by the jet is found to be negligible for this source. For GX 339-4, the entire continuum is well described by the jet-dominated model only, with no disc component required. For the two XRBs, which have very different physical and orbital parameters and were in different accretion states during the observations, the sizes of the jet base are similar and both seem to prefer a high fraction of non-thermal electrons in the acceleration/shock region and a magnetically dominated plasma in the jet. These results, along with recent similar results from modeling other galactic XRBs and AGNs, may suggest an inherent unity in diversity in the geometric and radiative properties of compact jets from accreting black holes.

Study of hadronic event shape in flavour tagged events in e+e-annihilation at s = 197 GeV
Creators: name: L3 Collaboration

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Results are presented from a study of the structure of hadronic events in high-energy e+e- interactions detected by the L3 detector at LEP. Various event shape distributions and their moments are measured at several energy points at and above the Z-boson mass. The event flavour is tagged by using the decay characteristics of b-hadrons. Measurements of distributions of event shape variables for all hadronic events, for light (u, d, s, c) and heavy (b) quark flavours are compared to several QCD models with improved leading log approximation: JETSET, HERWIG and ARIADNE. A good description of the data is provided by the models.

Early-type dwarf galaxies in clusters: a mixed bag with various origins?
Creators: name: Lisker, Thorsten

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)

description: The formation of early-type dwarf (dE) galaxies, the most numerous objects in clusters, is believed to be closely connected to the physical processes that drive galaxy cluster evolution, like galaxy harassment and ram-pressure stripping. However, the actual significance of each mechanism for building the observed cluster dE population is yet unknown. Several distinct dE subclasses were identified, which show significant differences in their shape, stellar content, and distribution within the cluster. Does this diversity imply that dEs originate from various formation channels? Does "cosmological" formation play a role as well? I try to touch on these questions in this brief overview of dEs in galaxy clusters.

Working restoratively : a study of youth justice professionals in Tasmania
Creators: name: Thomas, NA
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The Youth Justice Act 1997 in Tasmania introduced the principles and practice of Restorative Justice with the aim of reducing youth crime. Since this time, Restorative Justice has influenced early intervention, resulting in a decrease in youth crime and detention rates. But, as recognised internationally and by previous research in Tasmania, this apparent success may conceal problems or limitations in how conferences are conducted. To explore these issues, this study interviewed 21 practitioners with occupational knowledge of how young offenders are managed through the diversionary system in Southern Tasmania. These interviewees complain that conferences individualise the problem of offending rather than addressing structural causes of crime such as poverty. The thesis provides a detailed account of their work and professional challenges. It also advances arguments for the value of qualitative research on the criminal justice process; and makes policy recommendations to establish multi-disciplinary teams and to increase the diversity of referral options.

description: The physics of galaxy clusters has proven to be influenced by several processes connected with their galactic component which pollutes the ICM with metals, stars and dust. However, it is not clear whether the presence of diffuse dust can play a role in clusters physics since a characterisation of the IR properties of galaxy clusters is yet to be completely achieved. We focus on the recent work of Giard et al. (2008) who performed a stacking analysis of the IRAS data in the direction of several thousands of galaxy clusters, providing a statistical characterisation of their IR luminosity and redshift evolution. We model the IR properties of the galactic population of the SDSS-maxBCG clusters (0.1

description: Engineering of Sport 15 - Proceedings from the 15th International Conference on the Engineering of Sport (ISEA 2024)
In the UK, head injury is the leading cause of death or disability in under 40’s. This highlights the importance of work towards reducing the frequency and severity of head injury in sport. One main research theme towards this is the re-enactment of injury events in the laboratory, using impact apparatus such as drop towers, pneumatic rams, and projectile launchers. These all require a surrogate human headform from which measurements can be taken. Mechanical surrogates, referred to as anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs), are usual in this field due to their high experimental repeatability and ease of instrumentation (linear and rotational kinematics) compared to alternatives (e.g. cadavers). Current research shows that rotational kinematics are vital for understanding the risk of mild traumatic brain injury. ATD properties undoubtedly influence on the outcome of rotational kinematics due to impact. The human likeness of the ATD’s properties can be referred to as its biofidelity. The spectrum ranges from fully metal approximations such as the EN 960 to advanced research grade examples with increasingly more biofidelic properties. ATD rotational properties are commonly quantified by quasi-static moment of inertia (MOI). Is this representative of impact response? For a rigid body (EN 960) this is theoretically sufficient to characterise its rotational response to impact. However, it is possible that for a non-rigid body (humans and biofidelic ATDs), the loading rate might be a significant factor in response. MOI is usually measured using an oscillator setup where MOI is quantified using change in oscillation period relative to base oscillation period (unloaded). MOI is a property most often associated with rigid bodies where MOI is independent of base oscillation rate therefore, no commercial solution exists with capacity to vary the base test rate. This paper presents the development of a variable speed torsional oscillator and its use to characterise the rotational properties (MOI and dampening) of two headforms of differing biofidelity.

description: We model and evaluate the Peltier and Seebeck effects in magnetic multilayer nanostructures by a finite-element theory of thermoelectric properties. We present analytical expressions for the thermopower and the current-induced temperature changes due to Peltier cooling/heating. The thermopower of a magnetic element is in general spin-polarized, leading to spin-heat coupling effects. Thermoelectric effects in spin valves depend on the relative alignment of the magnetization directions and are sensitive to spin-flip scattering as well as inelastic collisions in the normal metal spacer.
