Perceptions and views of a community towards No-Take Zone Marine Protected Areas on the Tasman Peninsula, Tasmania, Australia
Creators: name: Bantich, Mark
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: No-Take Zone Marine Protected Areas (NTZMPAs) have been recognised as an integral part of sustainable management of coastal and marine environments in many parts of the world. Since the declaration of the first NTZMPA few studies have focused on the views of the local communities affected by the establishment of a NTZMPA. In Tasmania studies have largely focused on the preservation of marine biodiversity. The aim of the research was to assess the level of support of residents and shack owners in the Eaglehawk Neck and Fortescue Bay regions of the Tasman Peninsula (Tasmania, Australia) towards the potential establishment of a no-take zone marine protected area. The research also assessed which selection criteria for NTZMPAs were considered important by residents and shack owners in the region and determined the extent of community empowerment in the decision making process to establish an NTZMPA. The Eaglehawk Neck and Fortescue Bay regions has historically been noted as being integrally linked to exploitation of the adjacent marine resources, both commercially and recreationally. Extensive community surveys were conducted with residents and shack owners in the research area. The results show the majority of residents and shack owners would support a NTZMPA in the region if community concerns, such as resource access, were addressed before establishment. Community support for a NTZMPA a result of a perceived decline in the quality of the marine and coastal environment in the region. Community involvement was considered essential for any NTZMPA proposals in the study area. Results also indicate a need by government environment and fisheries management bodies to increase community awareness and understanding of marine management issues in order to support the need for NTZMPAs.

description: In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic properties of nonparametric Bayesian mixtures of Betas for estimating a smooth density on $[0,1]$. We consider a parametrization of Beta distributions in terms of mean and scale parameters and construct a mixture of these Betas in the mean parameter, while putting a prior on this scaling parameter. We prove that such Bayesian nonparametric models have good frequentist asymptotic properties. We determine the posterior rate of concentration around the true density and prove that it is the minimax rate of concentration when the true density belongs to a Hölder class with regularity $β$, for all positive $β$, leading to a minimax adaptive estimating procedure of the density. We also believe that the approximating results obtained on these mixtures of Beta densities can be of interest in a frequentist framework.

The music of the troubadours
Creators: name: Buch, Ingrid Pauline
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis is devoted to an examination of the music of the troubadours, a group of poet-musicians which flourished in southern France during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Musicological research has been conducted in this area only since the turn of the present century, although philological study began much earlier. The main aim of the Introduction is to bring together some of the most widely accepted theories regarding both literary and musical aspects of the movement and to sum up generally the state of troubadour scholarship as it exists today. The Introduction also includes a brief historical survey of the troubadour movement, its scope, significance and influence. The poems were meant to be sung, not merely read; thus the art of the Provençaux embodies two disciplines: poetry and music. Yet while much is known of the poets, very little is known about the composers of the melodies. Did the troubadour write his own music? Did he borrow it? How similar are the melodies set to the texts of a single poet? How are they related? Was one composer involved in setting them, or several? Chapter I attempts to answer some of these questions. Attention is focused on the music associated with the texts of seven troubadours in order to discover internal evidence which would shed light on this problem. La Doctrina de compondre dictatz is the subject of Chapter II. This short, little-known treatise dating from around 1250 A.D. discusses the poetic genres of the troubadours and gives suggestions for the writing of suitable melodies. It is with the musical considerations that this chapter is primarily concerned. How accurate are La Doctrina’s descriptions in the light of the extant Provencal melodies? Were any poetic types associated in actual practice with specific melodic forms? The subject of the final chapter is a comparison of troubadour melodies and the chants of the Gregorian rite.
Corrections to the Neutrinoless Double-Beta-Decay Operator in the Shell Model

description: We use diagrammatic perturbation theory to construct an effective shell-model operator for the neutrinoless double-beta decay of 82Se. The starting point is the same Bonn-C nucleon-nucleon interaction that is used to generate the Hamiltonian for recent shell-model calculations of double-beta decay. After first summing high-energy ladder diagrams that account for short-range correlations and then adding diagrams of low order in the G matrix to account for longer-range correlations, we fold the two-body matrix elements of the resulting effective operator with transition densities from the recent shell-model calculation to obtain the overall nuclear matrix element that governs the decay. Although the high-energy ladder diagrams suppress this matrix element at very short distances as expected, they enhance it at distances between one and two fermis, so that their overall effect is small. The corrections due to longer-range physics are large, but cancel one another so that the fully corrected matrix element is comparable to that produced by the bare operator. This cancellation between large and physically distinct low-order terms indicates the importance of a reliable nonperturbative calculation.

description: Lyman alpha blobs - luminous, spatially extended emission-line nebulae, often lacking bright continuum counterparts - are common in dense environments at high redshift. Until recently, atmospheric absorption and filter technology have limited our knowledge of any similar objects at z<2. We use GALEX slitless spectroscopy to search for similar objects in the rich environments of two known cluster and supercluster fields at z=0.8, where the instrumental sensitivity peaks. The regions around Cl 1054-0321 and Cl 0023+0423 were each observed in slitless-spectrum mode for 10-19 ksec, with accompanying direct images of 3-6 ksec to assist in recognizing continuum sources. Using several detection techniques, we find no resolved Lyman alpha emitters to a flux limit of(1.5-9) x 10^{-15} erg/ cm^2 s, on size scales of 5-30 arcseconds. This corresponds to line luminosities of (0.5-3) x 10^43 erg/s for linear scales 35-200 kpc. Comparison with both blind and targeted surveys at higher redshifts indicates that the population must have evolved in comoving density at least as strongly as (1+z)^3. These results suggest that the population of Lyman alpha blobs is specific to the the high-redshift Universe.

A common factor for childhood syndromes and disorders : empirical evaluation and associated risk factors
Creators: name: Quinn, MG
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: There is strong evidence of excessive levels multivariate comorbidity for the major childhood internalizing and externalizing syndromes and / or disorders. The overall aim of this thesis is to propose a general factor to capture the common variance for the major internalising and externalising childhood syndromes and disorders. In this context, the thesis reports three empirical studies to evaluate the plausibility of a common factor, and potential risk factors that may be associated with it. Study 1, examined if childhood psychopathology could be characterised by a bifactor model, which would provide support for a common factor. The bifactor structure was tested on data from a clinical sample of 974 parents and their children referred to the Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne. Data was gained from the Syndrome and DSM-Oriented scales of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), and the Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule for Children-Parent Version. The model was also tested on the data from the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA) Reference Group; an epidemiological sample used to validate the CBCL. The bifactor model showed excellent fit and substantive support for the hypothesised common factor. Study 2 extended Study 1 and investigated whether the major childhood syndromes/disorders conform to a circumplex structure, which would provide support for the presence of a common factor underlying these syndromes/disorders. The circumplex was tested using the same data and same measures as Study 1, and results demonstrated that child psychopathology conforms to a circumplex structure, with more than fifty percent of all variance accounted for by the common factor. This provided strong support for the presence of the hypothesised common factor. Study 3 aimed to investigate the nature of this hypothesised common factor, and investigate which constructs are associated with it. The association of three constructs ‚Äö- negative affective temperament, parental psychopathology and familial functioning ‚Äö- on the general factor specified by the bifactor model was investigated. The results demonstrated that negative affect and parental psychopathology, both individually and in interaction, appear to be key risk factors associated with the common factor. Overall, results suggest that, in contrast to current conceptualisations of childhood psychopathology as discrete and distinguishable entities, there is a common liability to all psychopathology in childhood. Such a common liability helps explain the high level comorbidity of childhood disorders and syndromes, because the liability suggests that all manifestations of psychological illness may, at least in part, have some common geneses. The results here suggest that negative affect and parental psychopathology are key risk factors in understanding this common liability factor.
X-ray emission from the extended emission-line region of the powerful radio galaxy 3C171

description: We present Chandra X-ray observations of the powerful radio galaxy 3C171, which reveal an extended region of X-ray emission spatially associated with the well-known 10-kpc scale optical emission-line region around the radio jets. We argue that the X-ray emission comes from collisionally ionized material, originally cold gas that has been shock-heated by the passage of the radio jet, rather than being photoionized by nuclear radiation. This hot plasma is also responsible for the depolarization at low frequencies of the radio emission from the jet and hotspots, which allows us to estimate the magnetic field strength in the external medium. We show that it is likely that both the cold emission-line gas and the hot plasma in which it is embedded are being driven out of the host galaxy of 3C171 at supersonic speeds. A significant fraction of the total energy budget of the central AGN must have been expended in driving this massive outflow. We argue that 3C171, with its unusual radio morphology and the strong relation between the jet and large amounts of outflowing material, is a member of a class of radio galaxies in which there is strong interaction between the radio jets and cold material in the host galaxy; such objects may have been very much more common in the early universe.

description: Multi-epoch XMM-Newton spectra of the two Narrow Line Seyfert 1 (NLS1), Mrk 478 and EXO 1346.2+2645, are presented. The data were fitted with different models, including the relativistically-blurred reflection model reflionx, which was found to give a good description of both spectra in all epochs. The two sources are reflection dominated with the illuminating continuum hidden from view. This can be explained either in terms of a corrugated disc or strong gravitational light bending effects. The emission from these two sources comes from a very small region (few gravitational radii), very close to a rapidly spinning black hole. Spectral variability analysis show that both sources have constant RMS spectra, and constant hardness ratios in all epochs, in agreement with a single spectral component. The constancy the spectrum between high and low states rules out alternative models such as partial covering.

Exploration of the effects of fruit and berry exposure on fruit composition in Vitis vinifera cv. Pinot Noir
Creators: name: Robertson, MA
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The maintenance and improvement of quality of Pinot Noir table wines has been highlighted as a key factor in the development of the Tasmanian wine industry. This study was designed to further investigate the cultural and environmental impacts on the composition of Pinot Noir fruit in a cool climate. Over three vintages, 2005, 2006 and 2007, the industry practice of pre-veraison leaf removal in the fruiting zone is investigated. Defoliation was shown to delay ripening and this study provides evidence that the environmental influence over the entire season may have more impact on fruit composition, than increased fruit exposure or source/sink relationships during berry ripening. The impact of bunch exposure on fruit composition was investigated in 2007 by imposing a range of shading and light exclusion treatments. Results support the conclusions of previous authors that biosynthesis of anthocyanin occurs independently of carbohydrate metabolism. The impact of bunch compactness on the composition of Pinot Noir is investigated over two growing seasons by manipulation with pre-bloom application of Giberrellic Acid (GA3). Observations suggest that a reduction in bunch compactness, lead to an improvement in grape composition, including higher anthocyanin concentration, in one of two experimental seasons. An argument for a relationship between increasing berry size and reduced total anthocyanin in Pinot Noir is presented.

description: A highly favoured mechanism of planetesimal formation is collisional growth. Single dust grains, which follow gas flows in the protoplanetary disc, hit each other, stick due to van der Waals forces and form fluffy aggregates up to centimetre size. The mechanism of further growth is unclear since the outcome of aggregate collisions in the relevant velocity and size regime cannot be investigated in the laboratory under protoplanetary disc conditions. Realistic statistics of the result of dust aggregate collisions beyond decimetre size is missing for a deeper understanding of planetary growth. Joining experimental and numerical efforts we want to calibrate and validate a computer program that is capable of a correct simulation of the macroscopic behaviour of highly porous dust aggregates. After testing its numerical limitations thoroughly we will check the program especially for a realistic reproduction of various benchmark experiments. We adopt the smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) numerical scheme with extensions for the simulation of solid bodies and a modified version of the Sirono porosity model. Experimentally measured macroscopic material properties of silica dust are implemented. We calibrate and test for the compressive strength relation and the bulk modulus. SPH has already proven to be a suitable tool to simulate collisions at rather high velocities. In this work we demonstrate that its area of application can not only be extended to low-velocity experiments and collisions. It can also be used to simulate the behaviour of highly porous objects in this velocity regime to a very high accuracy.The result of the calibration process in this work is an SPH code that can be utilised to investigate the collisional outcome of porous dust in the low-velocity regime.

description: We have synthesized A-site ordered (AO)- and A-site disordered (AD)-Y1/4Sr3/4CoO3-delta (YSCO) with various oxygen deficiency delta, and have made a comparative study of the structural and physical properties. We have found that A-site (Y/Sr) ordering produces the unconventional oxygen-vacancy ordered (OO) structure, and that the magnetic and transport properties of both AO- and AD-YSCO strongly depend on the oxygen-vacancy (or excess oxygen) ordering pattern. AO-YSCO with a stoichiometric delta of 0.5 has the unconventional OO structure reflecting Y/Sr ordering pattern. With decreasing delta from 0.5, the overall averaged OO structure is essentially unchanged except for an increase of occupancy ratio for the oxygen-vacant sites. At delta = 0.34, excess oxygen atoms are ordered to form a novel superstructure, which is significant for the room-temperature ferromagnetism of AO-YSCO. In AD-YSCO, on the other hand, the quite different OO structure, which is of a brownmillerite-type, is found only in the vicinity of delta = 0.5.

description: The nature of the several microlensing events observed by the MACHO team towards the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is still a subject of debate. Low-mass substellar objects and stars with masses larger than ~M_{sun} have been ruled out as major components of a Massive Astrophysical Compact Halo Object (MACHO) Galactic halo, while stars of half a solar mass seem to be viable candidates. Main sequence stars have been already discarded, and there are tight restrictions on the role played by white dwarfs with hydrogen-dominated atmospheres. In this paper we evaluate the contribution to the dark matter content of the Galaxy of white dwarfs with hydrogen-deficient atmospheres. For this purpose we use a Monte Carlo simulator which incorporates up-to-date evolutionary sequences of white dwarfs with hydrogen-rich and hydrogen-deficient atmospheres. We also take into account detailed descriptions of the thick disk and the halo of our Galaxy as well as of a reliable model of the LMC. We find that the contribution of white dwarfs with hydrogen-deficient atmospheres moderately increases the theoretical estimate of the optical depth with respect to the value obtained when only hydrogen-rich white dwarfs are considered. We also find that the contribuiton of the thick disk population of white dwarfs is comparable to the halo contribution. However, the contributions of both the halo and the thick disk white-dwarf populations are still insufficient to explain the number of events observed by the MACHO team. Finally, we find that the contribution to the halo dark matter of the entire population under study is less than 10% at the 95% conficence level.

Observations on the fine structure of the hemiascomycete Cephaloascus fragrans Hanawa, with emphasis on cell walls, septa, and ascospores
Creators: name: Higham, Michael Thomas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The presence of multiperforate septa in vegetative hyphae of Cephaloascus fragrans is demonstrated by thin-sectioning. The number of micropores per septum is much greater than that reported in other multiperforately septate fungi. Brown encrustations of the ascophores, previously observed by light-microscopy, are resolved as granular depositions between the ascophore wall and an outer investing membrane. Similar depositions are observed between the ascal walls and their investing membranes. The morphology of these blister-like depositions is studied by thin-sectioning, freeze-etching and scanning electron microscopy. Several stages of ascosporogenesis are observed which may indicate a process differing from that shown in other Ascomycetes. The observed structure of ascospores is in agreement with that of other cuculate ascospores studied by electron microscopy.

When the sample is perpendicular to the applied magnetic field, the diagonal resistance displays a kink at $ν=1/4$. Upon tilting the sample to an angle of $θ=20.3^o$ a clear FQH state at emerges at $ν=1/4$ with a plateau in the Hall resistance and a strong minimum in the diagonal resistance.

description: In connection with recent discussion of topological order and topological phase transitions in quantum systems, we reexamine circumstances that lead to the appearance of a topological glass in certain classical lattice spin models. Local bonding enforces constraints on low energy states which organize themselves into topologically distinct classes that break ergodicity but not any apparent symmetry as in the usual Landau theory of phase transitions. Various properties of such a topological glass are demonstrated using two classical Ising-like models.

A Bayesian Assessment of P-Values for Significance Estimation of Power Spectra and an Alternative Procedure, with Application to Solar Neutrino Data

description: The usual procedure for estimating the significance of a peak in a power spectrum is to calculate the probability of obtaining that value or a larger value by chance (known as the "p-value"), on the assumption that the time series contains only noise - typically that the measurements are derived from random samplings of a Gaussian distribution. We really need to know the probability that the time series is - or is not - compatible with the null hypothesis that the measurements are derived from noise. This probability can be calculated by Bayesian analysis, but this requires one to specify and evaluate a second hypothesis, that the time series does contain a contribution other than noise. We approach the problem of identifying this function in two ways. We first propose three simple conditions that it seems reasonable to impose on this function, and show that these conditions may be satisfied by a simple function with one free parameter. We then define two different ways of combining information derived from two independent power estimates. We find that this consistency condition may be satisfied, to good approximation, by a special case of the previously proposed likelihood function. We find that the resulting significance estimates are considerably more conservative than those usually associated with the p-values. As two examples, we apply the new procedure to two recent analyses of solar neutrino data: (a) power spectrum analysis of Super-Kamiokande data, and (b) the combined analysis of radiochemical neutrino data and irradiance data.

This is the first quantum oscillation that can definitely be assigned to the larger of the two major sheets of the Fermi surface predicted by band structure calculations. Previously observed frequencies were interpreted in terms of a large Fermi surface, which includes the Yb 4f-hole in the Fermi volume, that has been so strongly spin-split that it closely resembles the small Fermi surface, which does not include the Yb 4f -hole in the Fermi volume. The new frequency can also be incorporated into this picture, however there are some indications that the a need for more advanced energy band calculations.

Selected industries and their impact on the Aboriginal landscape Van Diemen's Land from invasion to 1830
Creators: name: McPherson, K
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: When the British arrived in Van Diemen's Land in 1803, they came as a society that was increasingly industrial in belief and technology. Even the small numbers of British inhabitants involved in the original settlements set up under Bowen, Collins and Paterson had the need for cottage industries to provide the products required for daily life. As the European population increased, selected industries evolved into domestic industries, larger scale operations needed for the functioning of the wider economy and to provide a lifestyle that was appropriate for a British colonial settlement. Export industries emerged at the same time to integrate Van Diemen's Land into the world economy. This thesis investigates the impacts on the Aboriginal landscape of timber, wattle bark, fauna and salt, four early resource-based industries, based on examination of the primary records for the period to 1830. The first two industries come from the European use of trees. The timber industry exploited the easy accessibility of a wide variety trees. Entrepreneurs developed an export industry for wattle bark after local recognition of its usefulness for tanning and the need in Britain to conserve overexploited oak trees. Exploitation of wildlife began with the need for food, but at an early date turned to the commercial utilisation of oil, meat, furs, skins, fat, bones and feathers. Salt could be produced via a rang~ of technologies. It was intertwined with other industries ranging from the making of soap to the export of skins and hides. Salt pans were turned into muddy ponds, and the densely tree lined areas near the coastal saltworks were depleted of the wood needed to fuel boilers. The landscape of Aboriginal Trowernna became the landscape of British Van Diemen's Land. Aboriginal landscape management unwillingly and unwittingly provided the British settlement with a seemingly unending supply of raw materials, hence the consequences of their exploitation was not considered significant at the time. The landscape of Trowernna drew forth little to no affection from the British; that observation is demonstrated by over harvesting, the lack of care with harvesting methods, together with the introduction of European flora and fauna. In 1830 the local European population had grown to 24,504. In less than thirty years, European people and their industries had substantially modified large parts of the Aboriginal landscape beyond recovery.

description: Enterprise directors in the planned economy developed close networks with bureaucrats and politicians, mainly in the branch ministries, in order to obtain the means of production needed by their enterprise. Many members also used these networks for emezzlements. Since the collaps of the Soviet Union, the networks have adapted to the changes, by increasing attention to the role of money and by including new members. However, they still offer enterprise directors privileged access to state ressources. Rent-seeking, therefore, can be seen as a central activity of corruption networks in the post-Soviet economy. The nature of such networks is examined more closely in case studies of the Russian banking sector, the coal industry and the oil industry.

description: Die frühkeltische Gesellschaft wird geprägt von Klischees, von der Antike bis zur Rezeptionsgeschichte der Moderne. Dreh- und Angelpunkt ist der angebliche soziale Bruch in der 1. Hälfte des 5. Jh. v. Chr. zwischen den „zivilisierten“ Kelten der Späten Hallstattkultur (Ha D2/3) und einer aggressiven „Kriegergesellschaft“ der Frühlatènekultur (Lt A). Da mit der Frage, ob eine Gesellschaft ‚friedlich‘ oder ‚kriegerisch‘ war, implizit von Männern die Rede ist, betrachte ich hier nur deren soziale Rolle, die in der Genderforschung bisher wenig Beachtung fand. Ausgehend von dem Männlichkeitsbegriff der Hallstattkultur, den Nils Müller-Scheeßel (2011) definiert hat, werden die beiden Epochen anhand archäologischer Befunde miteinander verglichen. Die Bestattungssitten, die Ikonografie der ältesten Großplastik in Stein sowie die neue Latènekunst bestätigen den Bruch nicht. Alles spricht dafür, dass es sich um dieselben kompetitiven Gesellschaftsstrukturen handelte, deren Ideal die „hegemoniale Männlichkeit“ der Macht war. Dieses Ideal wurde nur unterschiedlich ausgedrückt, je nachdem, welchen Status der Krieger besaß.
The Flapper and 'chill-mindedness': The urban woman and fertility in the 1920s.
Creators: name: Murphy, K
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The first chapter of this study is concerned with how this natalist climate fostered an aversion to female individualism. Women's social duty, it was stressed, was to bear children for the nation. Anti-individualism is detected in discourse on the population problem, which rarely concerned itself with female individuals; in demographic and scientific/ medical discourse; and in legislation which revealed masculinist assumptions about woman's social role. The needs of the national community obliterated any question of female agency in matters pertaining to their own reproductive capacity. Moves to check depopulation were moves to bring women's fertility under state control.

description: Willibald Hentschels zwischen 1901 und 1925 in vier stetig veränderten, erweiterten und den Zeitverhältnissen jeweils angepassten Auflagen erschienenes, nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg auf drei Bände angewachsenes Haupt- und Lebenswerk Varuna ist dem Genre der kulturkritischen Weltanschauungsmanifeste zuzuzählen, die in der Umbruchs- und Krisenepoche im Halbjahrhundert zwischen 1880 und 1930 Konjunktur hatten. Eine größere Öffentlichkeit erreichte Hentschel damit nicht. Sein und Varunas Wirkungsradius blieben vornehmlich auf die sich in dieser Epoche formierende und etablierende völkische Bewegung beschränkt. Varuna zählte neben Paul de Lagardes Deutschen Schriften und Houston Stewart Chamberlains Grundlagen des Neuzehnten Jahrhunderts zum völkischen Weltanschauungskanon, ohne an den Einfluss dieser epochalen Bestseller heranzureichen. Wenngleich Varuna den originären völkischen Denkstil ebenso abbildet wie den völkischen Weltanschauungskosmos erfuhr das Werk innerhalb der Bewegung verhaltene Resonanz, in erster Linie aufgrund des radikalen Rassezuchtprogramms „Mittgart“, dem zukunftsorientierten Fluchtpunkt von Hentschels Überzeugung der rassischen Gesetzmäßigkeiten unterliegenden, auf annähernd 500 Seiten entfalteten Menschheits- und Zivilisationsgeschichte.
The ecology and population dynamics of blue grouse in the sub-alpine
Creators: name: King, D. G.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This study was designed to follow up previous studies (Bendell and Elliott 1967, Lance 1967, Zwickel and Bendell 1967) which suggested blue grouse regulated their numbers through juvenile mortality over winter, and to examine the population of grouse that lived their entire lives on winter range. Grouse were observed and collected in the sub-alpine of Vancouver Island between May, 1965, and June, 1966. Data from the uplands were compared to grouse on lowland breeding ranges. The major findings were: (1) A low density and apparently stable breeding population lived in the sub-alpine with sex and age ratios and recruitment similar to those of lowland populations. (2) All events of reproduction following spring migration were delayed approximately one month compared to the lowlands. Further, the nesting season was shorter by approximately four weeks. (3) Grouse in the sub-alpine selected open forest and hilly areas as on the lowlands. (4) In winter, some males at least, lived separately from hens and chicks. The males lived in the open forest of the upper elevations of the sub-alpine but the habitat used by the hens and chicks is unknown. (5) The main source of juvenile mortality, and hence population regulation, probably occurred in autumn with first snow fall and/or brood break-up. Late winter behavioral interaction may also be important in regulating numbers. (6) No factor of the sub-alpine was found that could explain the size and success of lowland populations. There was some evidence to suggest that the quality of food in the sub-alpine may.be important to reproductive success on the lowlands.

description: We studied the role of fundamental constants in an updated recombination scenario, focusing on the time variation of the fine structure constant αand the electron mass m_e in the early Universe. Using CMB data including WMAP 5-yr release, and the 2dFGRS power spectrum, we put bounds on variations of these constants, when both constants are allowed to vary, and in the case that only one of them is variable. In particular, we have found that -0.019 < Δα/ α_0 < 0.017 (95% c.l.), in our joint estimation of αand cosmological parameters. Finally, we analyze how the constraints depends on the recombination scenario.

description: Developmental schemes since the 18th century have proposed a sequence from the individual to the formation of increasingly stratified, numerous and cohesive groups. In the main, increasing inequality was closely linked to the concept of progress. Ethnicity and finally nationhood were depicted as the goal of human history, and teleological narratives leading to that goal have influenced archaeological discourse to that very day, even if the concept itself has been repudiated. In contrast, I argue that through most of human history and prehistory, active ethnicity was the exception rather than the rule and argue for a changed master narrative based the values of modern democratic society.

description: Gravitational waves from coalescing compact binaries are one of the most promising sources for detectors such as LIGO, Virgo and GEO600. If the components of the binary posess significant angular momentum (spin), as is likely to be the case if one component is a black hole, spin-induced precession of a binary's orbital plane causes modulation of the gravitational-wave amplitude and phase. If the templates used in a matched-filter search do not accurately model these effects then the sensitivity, and hence the detection rate, will be reduced. We investigate the ability of several search pipelines to detect gravitational waves from compact binaries with spin. We use the post-Newtonian approximation to model the inspiral phase of the signal and construct two new template banks using the phenomenological waveforms of Buonanno, Chen and Vallisneri. We compare the performance of these template banks to that of banks constructed using the stationary phase approximation to the non-spinning post-Newtonian inspiral waveform currently used by LIGO and Virgo in the search for compact binary coalescence. We find that, at the same false alarm rate, a search pipeline using phenomenological templates is no more effective than a pipeline which uses non-spinning templates. We recommend the continued use of the non-spinning stationary phase template bank until the false alarm rate associated with templates which include spin effects can be substantially reduced.

No match made in heaven. Parliamentary sovereignty, EU over-constitutionalization and Brexit

description: The abundant literature on the UK’s Brexit-decision has focused on explaining the politicization and preference formation leading up to the referendum. But the institutional background has received much less attention. I argue that as a common-law country with a tradition of parliamentary sover-eignty, the UK exhibits institutional features that pose a significant mismatch to the prevailing policy-making mode in the European Union. The latter relies heavily on the constitutionalization of the EU-Treaties with the four freedoms, competition law, and citizenship rights, and accords an extraordi-nary role to the European Court of Justice in policymaking. Constitutionalized European rules regarding freedom of movement and EU citizens’ access to the welfare state drove the politicization of EU-membership in the UK. To understand why ‘taking back control’ found such resonance, it is im-portant to reflect the core features of the UK polity.
