Millions have found it among Jehovah's Witnesses.\" True Peace and Security- From What Source? (How Can You Find It?) 1986. *** In the corner between the kitchen doorway and the lounge room dresser stands our first Christmas tree. It hosts a strange assortment of decorations. Being an only child I have been left in charge of decorating it. One long gold piece of tinsel and a short thin wiry strip of gold tinsel had been delicately intertwined between the dark green branches of the tree and an eclectic selection of gaudy red and gold coloured baubles hastily bought from Chickenfeed Tasmania's cheap budget store their metallic coating easily scratched. A large padded material bell sits alongside the tree. 1991 turned out to be one of the most eventful years of my childhood. I was 12 years old and it was the first time a Christmas tree had stood in our house. It was my last year at primary school I got my period that summer and Santa visited me for the first time. My first Christmas and indeed every Christmas after that was a lonely one as if I was looking in from the outside. Being able to celebrate what other children had been celebrating for years was an exhilarating and exciting occasion but how was I supposed to celebrate it? I woke up that morning so long ago with a traditional Santa sock at the end of my bed. A large thick plastic bag with a Santa design on the front. The important part was it was crammed full of presents. I was delighted. Finally I was doing what every other kid had been doing. Then with a mounting feeling of dismay I realised that Christmas morning was an anticlimax."

description: Schools of nursing have been constructive and progressive and concerning themselves with the problems of professional education and the attainment of professional efficiency, but they have been little concerned with the problems of health and social education for their students and the attainment of a richer life. If any education fails to train. For physical well-being, for leisure, for culture and for creative expression, then it has failed miserably. Nurses certainly are taught to serve best, but do they know how to live most?

description: We present detailed ab initio study of structural and magnetic stability of a Fe-monolayer on the fcc(001) surface of iridium. The Fe-monolayer has a strong tendency to order antiferromagnetically for the true relaxed geometry. On the contrary an unrelaxed Fe/Ir(001) sample has a ferromagnetic ground state. The antiferromagnetism is thus stabilized by the decreased Fe-Ir layer spacing in striking contrast to the recently experimentally observed antiferromagnetism of the Fe/W(001) system which exists also for an ideal bulk-truncated, unrelaxed geometry. The calculated layer relaxations for Fe/Ir(001) agree reasonably well with recent experimental LEED data. The present study centers around the evaluation of pair exchange interactions between Fe-atoms in the Fe-overlayer as a function of the Fe/Ir interlayer distance which allows for a detailed understanding of the antiferromagnetism of a Fe/Ir(001) overlayer. Furthermore, our calculations indicate that the nature of the true ground state could be more complex and display a spin spiral-like rather than a c(2x2)-antiferromagnetic order. Finally, the magnetic stability of the Fe monolayer on the Ir(001) surface is compared to the closely related Fe/Rh(001) system.

"I-MAC": an ICN based radio access network architecture
Creators: name: Ramani, Vishakha
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: The rapidly increasing connectivity demands of both fixed and mobile devices on the internet have motivated a clean-slate redesign of existing core and radio access networks. The advent of content-oriented applications such as social media applications, on-demand video streaming services, interactive gaming applications, etc. has exposed the limitations in the existing host-centric Internet Protocol (IP) based internet architecture. Information-Centric Networking, a clean-slate future internet architecture, has been extensively researched to show its effectiveness in its handling of content-centric applications in the core-network. This thesis aims to propose ICN based radio access network architecture, "I-MAC", which enables the integration of ICN identifiers and semantics with radio access network in order to achieve efficiency gains in capacity-limited wireless networks which are used by an increasing proportion of Internet traffic. Additionally, the use of a Local Name Resolution Table (LNRS), maintained by each base station in LTE, called as Evolved Node B (eNodeB), to seamlessly map the device GUID (globally unique identifier) with the corresponding radio network identifier allocated during each attach process is also suggested. This design is further extended to specifically support push and pull-based multicast transmissions at the last hop by a novel control signaling which incorporates physical control and data channels of existing cellular architecture. The verification of this design is done via a special pull-based multicast use case which takes into account the characteristics of highway-tunnel topography, traffic conditions, and user behavior. Through extensive simulations using NS-3 coupled with SUMO (Simulation for Urban MObility), it is shown that significant multicast gain is achieved at the eNodeB and considerable amount of bandwidth is saved. The simulation results of this design show that the temporal correlation among many delay tolerant user requests induces about 45% aggregation of user requests, costing the user a delay of merely a second. The results also show the suitability of this design for massive IoT applications where the device uptime is reduced by a factor of twenty from the current cellular multicast architecture, SC-PTM, thus providing considerable device power savings. Analytical measurements show spectral efficiency of this work with a control data occupancy in data channel of 0.07% in contrast with that of SC-PTM which has 1.32%, thereby, ensuring that user data gets a significant share of the bandwidth. In addition, parametric evaluations to check the sensitivity of the design to various parameters introduced in the model have also been performed.

description: Predictions for energy levels, production and decay rate of gluinonia, non-relativistic boundstates of gluinos, are presented. The potential between color-octet constituents is derived in next-to-next-to leading order and one-loop QCD corrections are derived for the production cross section and the decay rate into gluon jets. In addition we evaluate the decay rate into top quarks and into two photons. The signal-to-background ratio is estimated for the dominant decay mode and found to be around 0.5%. For relatively light gluinos the bound states thus might be detectable.

A window to quantum gravity phenomena in the emergence of the seeds of cosmic structure

description: Inflationary cosmology has, in the last few years,received a strong dose of support from observations. The fact that the fluctuation spectrum can be extracted from the inflationary scenario through an analysis that involves quantum field theory in curved space-time, and that it coincides with the observational data has lead to a certain complacency in the community, which prevents the critical analysis of the obscure spots in the derivation. We argue here briefly, as we have discussed in more detail elsewhere, that there is something important missing in our understanding of the origin of the seeds of Cosmic Structure, as is evidenced by the fact that in the standard accounts the inhomogeneity and anisotropy of our universe seems to emerge from an exactly homogeneous andisotropic initial state through processes that do not break those symmetries. This article gives a very brief recount of the problems faced by the arguments based on established physics. The conclusion is that we need some new physics to be able to fully address the problem. The article then exposes one avenue that has been used to address the central issue and elaborates on the degree to which, the new approach makes different predictions from the standard analyses. The approach is inspired on Penrose's proposals that Quantum Gravity might lead to a real, dynamical collapse of the wave function, a process that we argued has the properties needed to extract us from the theoretical impasse described above.

An evaluation of aspects of GROW, a self-help organization

Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The changing perspectives in mental health care have paved the way for the emergence and proliferation of self-help groups (SHGs) in the delivery of mental health care. Studies of the efficacy of such groups have been limited and have led to conflicting results. The present preliminary investigation focused upon Grow, a prominent self-help organization. The project aimed to describe the demographic, personal and psychiatric characteristics of Grow attenders, and to investigate possible changes in symptomatology and social network as a function of time and attendance. The subjects were 62 Grow attenders who were representative of the state population of Grow members. The General Health Questionnaire (Goldberg, 1967), the Social Environment Questionnaire (Winefield, 1979), the Personality and Social Network Adjustment Scale (Clark, 1968) and a number of visual analogue scales related to issues such as perceived efficacy of Grow were administered weekly over a six week period. General findings indicated Grow attenders to be predominantly female, 40 to 60 years old, married and from the middle occupational status group. Attendance at Grow tended to be irregular and the most common reason for attendance was to seek help for emotional problems. From a community mental health perspective most had sought help before joining Grow and many were still receiving psychiatric assistance. Previous and current help received from outside Grow tended to be viewed as inadequate. Over the period of study there was an improvement in psychological/psychiatric adjustment of Grow members but no significant change in social support networks. Only those who attended Grow regularly evidenced an improvement in social support. The need for caution when discussing causality was stressed. A number of methodological and logistical problems were identified and more complex evaluation research designs were described for future consideration.
An advective solar-type dynamo without the alpha effect

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Context: Most solar and stellar dynamo models use the alpha-Omega scenario where the magnetic field is generated by the interplay between differential rotation (the Omega effect) and a mean electromotive force due to helical turbulent convection flows (the alpha effect). There are, however, turbulent dynamo mechnisms that may complement the alpha effect or may be an alternative to it. Aims: We investigate models of solar-type dynamos where the alpha effect is completely replaced by two other turbulent dynamo mechanisms, namely the Omega x J effect and the shear-current effect, which both result from an inhomogeneity of the mean magnetic field. Methods: We studied axisymmetric mean-field dynamo models containing differential rotation, the Omega x J and shear-current effects, and a meridional circulation. The model calculations were carried out using the rotation profile of the Sun as obtained from helioseismic measurements and radial profiles of other quantities according to a standard model of the solar interior. Results: Without meridional flow, no satisfactory agreement of the models with the solar observations can be obtained. With a sufficiently strong meridional circulation included, however, the main properties of the large-scale solar magnetic field, namely, its oscillatory behavior, its latitudinal drift towards the equator within each half cycle, and its dipolar parity with respect to the equatorial plane, are correctly reproduced. Conclusions: We have thereby constructed the first mean-field models of solar-type dynamos that do not use the alpha effect.

description: We investigate the role of disorder for field-driven quantum phase transitions of metallic antiferromagnets. For systems with sufficiently low symmetry, the combination of a uniform external field and non-magnetic impurities leads effectively to a random magnetic field which strongly modifies the behavior close to the critical point. Using perturbative renormalization group, we investigate in which regime of the phase diagram the disorder affects critical properties. In heavy fermion systems where even weak disorder can lead to strong fluctuations of the local Kondo temperature, the random field effects are especially pronounced. We study possible manifestation of random field effects in experiments and discuss in this light neutron scattering results for the field riven quantum phase transition in CeCu_5.8Au_0.2.

description: We extend the theory for third-order structure functions in homogeneous incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence to the case in which a constant velocity shear is present. A generalization is found of the usual relation [Politano and Pouquet, Phys. Rev. E, 57 21 (1998)] between third-order structure functions and the dissipation rate in steady inertial range turbulence, in which the shear plays a crucial role. In particular, the presence of shear leads to a third-order law which is not simply proportional to the relative separation. Possible implications for laboratory and space plasmas are discussed.

Paralinearization of the Dirichlet to Neumann operator, and regularity of three-dimensional water waves

description: This paper is concerned with a priori $C^\infty$ regularity for three-dimensional doubly periodic travelling gravity waves whose fundamental domain is a symmetric diamond. The existence of such waves was a long standing open problem solved recently by Iooss and Plotnikov. The main difficulty is that, unlike conventional free boundary problems, the reduced boundary system is not elliptic for three-dimensional pure gravity waves, which leads to small divisors problems. Our main result asserts that sufficiently smooth diamond waves which satisfy a diophantine condition are automatically $C^\infty$. In particular, we prove that the solutions defined by Iooss and Plotnikov are $C^\infty$. Two notable technical aspects are that (i) no smallness condition is required and (ii) we obtain an exact paralinearization formula for the Dirichlet to Neumann operator.

A comparative study of fracture in Al: quantum mechanical vs. empirical atomistic description

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: A comparative study of fracture in Al is carried out by using quantum mechanical and empirical atomistic description of atomic interaction at crack tip. The former is accomplished with the density functional theory (DFT) based Quasicontinuum method (QCDFT) and the latter with the original Quasicontinuum method (EAM-QC). Aside from quantitative differences, the two descriptions also yield qualitatively distinctive fracture behavior. While EAM-QC predicts a straight crack front and a micro-twinning at the crack tip, QCDFT finds a more rounded crack profile and the absence of twinning. Although many dislocations are emitted from the crack tip in EAM-QC, they all glide on a single slip plane. In contrast, only two dislocations are nucleated under the maximum load applied in QCDFT, and they glide on two adjacent slip planes. The electron charge density develops sharp corners at the crack tip in EAM-QC, while it is smoother in QCDFT. The physics underlying these differences is discussed.

description: The research introduces a multi-agent simulation that uses fuzzy inference to investigate the work distribution and battery charging control of mobile baggage conveyor robots in an airport in a comprehensive manner. Thanks to a distributed system, this simulation approach provides high adaptability, adjusting to changes in conveyor agent availability, battery capacity, awareness of the activities of the conveyor fleet, and knowledge of the context of infrastructure resource availability. Dynamic factors, such as workload variations and communication between the conveyor agents and infrastructure are considered as heuristics, highlighting the importance of flexible and collaborative approaches in autonomous systems. The results highlight the effectiveness of adaptive fuzzy multi-agent models to optimize dynamic task allocation, adapt to the variation of baggage arrival flows, improve the overall operational efficiency of conveyor agents, and reduce their energy consumption.

description: This document constitutes the Deliverable D5.4 Final report on Athens demonstration executionof the IP4MaaS Project (S2R-OC-IP4-01-2020, GA 101015492). Its aim is to describe all planning steps undertaken by the consortium to demonstrate IP4MaaS application in the capital of Greece, Athens, as well as present the actual demonstration and its results and lessons learned.The journey planner that was demonstrated in a real corridor considers public transport, bike, pedestrian, and car routings to provide optimal means of traveling. The demo site is located within the urban area of Athens, including OASA, the Municipality of Iraklio (MIRAKLIO) acting as small PTO as well as Brainbox (bike-sharing) and Taxiway (ride-sharing). The Athens demo ran in two phases; the first started on 11th of July 2022 and lasted for 2 weeks while the second started on 27th of March 2023 for 1-week period. In brief, both phases of demonstration in Athens included the following steps: selection of functionalities to be demonstrated, definition and deployment of the engagement strategy, performing of internal coordination and testing, conduction of a training session, and finally execution of the actual demo and evaluation of the results. It is worth noting that during the 2ndpilot richer functionalities were demonstrated. The main challenges that were encountered during the 2 phases of the Athens demo are mainly related to technological and legal issues. In more detail, issues related to data protection, lack of open traffic data frameworks, and lack of interoperability among involved TSPs were faced. A variety of helpful tools and techniques were employed to overcome these obstacles, including the usage of QR codes, linking to other apps, and mobility package applications. Considering that these solutions were successful in the demo setting, they also demonstrate the importance of tackling MaaS issues to provide a competitive mobility service that is dependable, meets user needs, and increases accessibility for all users.

Ecologically sustainable fisheries : society, politics, biology and economics in fisheries management
Creators: name: Phillips, GV
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The global fisheries crisis of the 1990s has heightened concerns about ecologically sustainable management of fisheries. There is nothing new about the recent failures of particular fisheries. They fit a pattern often repeated through history. But the scale of the current crisis makes it more dramatic, and virgin stocks are no longer available to provide opportunities for expansion. To achieve sustainable fisheries in the future we need to identify and address the causes of fisheries failures. These causes may be far reaching and be integral to the social, political and economic structures of society. Meaningful solutions therefore, may only be achieved by successfully challenging established social, political and economic structures and interests. Ultimately the ecological sustainability of fisheries may depend more on the nature of the societies who use them than on particular biological considerations. Fisheries management with holistic goals that contribute to the development of a sustainable society may have greater relevance than management that focuses on biological and economic issues in isolation and without regard to wider social and political implications. Holistic management might also achieve better biological and economic outcomes in the short term. Sustainable societies are those that can contain the selfish aspirations of vested interests that would seek advantage at the expense of the well-being of present and future generations of society as a whole. Egalitarian democracy with an ability to protect the common good is therefore a prime requirement for a sustainable society. Use of fisheries resources in ways that contribute to the equalisation of wealth and power in society, therefore contributes to the development of sustainable societies. Fisheries management based on enclosure and privileged access, including many strategies using tradable quota, contributes to the consolidation of wealth and power in few hands, and regardless of short term outcomes, may undermine the long term prospects for sustainability.
The development of membrane associated functions in Micrococcaceae

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Members of the Micrococcaceae were shown to have broad differences in the base composition of their DNA and to exhibit a strong correlation between aerobiosis and a high %GC. An analysis of the genome sizes of the DNA revealed a four-fold difference in the range. In general the organisms with a large genome had a high %GC. P. aerogenes, which had the smallest genome, was an anaerobe and had a genome comparable in size to that reported for mycoplasma. Hybridization studies between some organisms with small genomes showed that they were a genetically heterogeneous group. An examination of the amino acid requirements of the organisms showed that aerobic organisms with large genomes and high %GC were nutritionally independent while anaerobic organisms with small genomes and a low %GC had broad nutritional requirements. P. aerogenes would grow only in complex medium. In an effort to ob serve any developmental changes, amino acid transport, as one type of membrane associated function, was studied in a series of micrococci selected for their differences in genetic complexity. With the exception of P. aerogenes, which would grow only in complex medium, and with which no proline transport could be demonstrated, the transport of proline was a well developed process. It was shown to be energy dependent, specific for proline, to display saturation kinetics and to be derepressed in organisms auxotrophic for, and starved for this amino acid. Transport for isoleucine and methionine were also shown to be well developed in M. varians, M.sp.250 and SL aureus and it was concluded that the development of active transport was an early function in bacteria which may have given them a selective advantage. A study of membrane bound oxidative and phosphorylative enzymes showed that there was a strong correlation between the number of membrane bound oxidative and phosphorylative enzymes and aerobiosis. Treatment of the membranes with a dilute buffer containing EDTA, which affected the hydrophilic interactions in the membrane, had variable effects on the solubilization and activity of membrane bound enzymes. Triton-X which affected hydrophobic interactions had less variable results. The effect on the level of activity and the pattern of solubilization of a particular enzyme was similar in the different membrane systems studied. Therefore, hydrophobic interactions may be stable characteristics that are conserved. A study of the protein structure of the membrane revealed an increase in number of protein subunits and a general increase in the molecular weight of the subunits with increasing genetic complexity. Although increasing genome size seemed to confer nutritional independence and increased number and size of membrane subunits, functional aspects of the membrane were well developed in organisms with a small genome size.

description: Acoustic vibrations of nanoparticles made of materials with anisotropic elasticity and nanoparticles with non-spherical shapes are theoretically investigated using a homogeneous continuum model. Cubic, hexagonal and tetragonal symmetries of the elasticity are discussed, as are spheroidal, cuboctahedral and truncated cuboctahedral shapes. Tools are described to classify the different vibrations and for example help identify the modes having a significant low-frequency Raman scattering cross-section. Continuous evolutions of the modes starting from those of an isotropic sphere coupled with the determination of the irreducible representation of the branches permit some qualitative statements to be made about the nature of various modes. For spherical nanoparticles, a more accurate picture is obtained through projections onto the vibrations of an isotropic sphere.

description: Has the COVID-19 pandemic affected pro-sociality among individuals? After the onset of the pandemic, many charitable appeals were updated to include a reference to COVID-19. Did donors increase their giving in response to such changes? In order to answer these questions, we conducted a real-donation online experiment with more than 4,200 participants from 149 local areas in England and over 21 weeks. First, we varied the fundraising appeal to either include or exclude a reference to COVID-19. We found that including the reference to COVID-19 in the appeal increased donations. Second, in a natural experiment-like approach, we studied how the relative local severity of the pandemic and media coverage about local COVID-19 severity affected giving in our experiment. We found that both higher local severity and more related articles increased giving of participants in the respective areas. This holds for different specifications, including specifications with location fixed effects, time fixed effects, a broad set of individual characteristics to account for a potentially changing composition of the sample over time and to account for health- and work-related experiences with and expectations regarding the pandemic. While negative experiences with COVID-19 correlate negatively with giving, both approaches led us to conclude that the pure effect of increased salience of the pandemic on pro-sociality is positive. Despite the shift in public attention toward the domestic fight against the pandemic and away from developing countries’ challenges, we found that preferences did not shift toward giving more to a national project and less to developing countries.

description: In this paper we study the effects of a toroidal magnetic flux tube emerging into a magnetized corona, with an emphasis on large-scale eruptions. The orientation of the fields is such that the two flux systems are almost antiparallel when they meet. We follow the dynamic evolution of the system by solving the 3D MHD equations using a Lagrangian remap scheme. Multiple eruptions are found to occur. The physics of the trigger mechanisms are discussed and related to well-known eruption models.

description: Final-state interaction effects in charmless B_{u,d,s} to PP decays are studied. We investigate the B(bar)^0 to pi^+ pi^-, pi^0 pi^0 rates and the K pi direct CP violations, which lead to the so-called K pi puzzle in CP violation (Delta A). We found that sizable and complex color-suppressed tree amplitudes, which are crucial for the large pi^0 pi^0 rate and Delta A, are generated through exchange rescattering. The correlation of the ratio B(pi^0 pi^0)/B(pi^+ pi^-) and Delta A is studied. Predictions on B_s rates, direct and time-dependent CP asymmetries are made.

Multi-user virtual reality

description: Due to the extensive use of modem technology and the advent of mobile communications, bandwidth usage by Internet applications such as multi-user virtual reality systems needs to be kept to a minimum. In traditional multi-user virtual reality simulations, synchronization data about deterministic objects must be regularly sent to remote simulations in order to maintain consistency among the simulations. Using these systems, a maximum of about ten objects can be simultaneously synchronized over a typical modem connection. There is scope for eliminating synchronization information caused by deterministic objects by taking advantage of their predictability. Using the efficient rolling mechanism provided by the Replicated Time Warp mechanism (presented in this thesis), the need to send synchronization data for deterministic objects is eliminated at the expense of extra local computation required to predict the deterministic objects. By eliminating the bandwidth restrictions, the Replicated Time Warp system enables virtual worlds far more complex than previously possible to be created and synchronized over modem or wireless connections. Virtual Worlds containing one hundred or more dynamic objects can be simultaneously synchronized over a modem connection, depending on the speed of the local computer.

An investigation of the relationship between the material and illusionary aspects of the photograph
Creators: name: Puglielli, E
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This project is an investigation of the relationship between the image of a photograph and the paper on which it is printed. It addresses transmission and reception caused by the interconnection of symbols (image) and object (paper substrata). It can be observed that the major exchange with a photograph is mostly a symbolic one. The power of the image engulfs us, overshadowing the material nature of the paper object, creating the perception that there is something non-material about the photograph. There has been a continual 'de-materialising' of the photograph over its history. This is due to many factors, including the evolution in the materials used as substrata, the effect of supports such as frames and albums, the half-tone process in print media, as well as different uses and viewing contexts including those of museums, collectors and conceptual artists. These factors have created an inconsistent and unstable relationship with the material of the photograph, resulting in a diminishing appreciation of its object qualities, particularly when reading the image. To explain this situation I reference writers including Roland Barthes and Geoffrey Batchen and artists of relevance including Jan Dibbets, Mel Bochner, Doug and Mike Starn, Joachim Schmid and Gottfried Jager. Sanding and ripping are used in this project to explore the association between image and the material of the photograph. Such processes alter the viewer's usual relationship with a photograph by highlighting the material. Sanding confuses the surface and requires close scrutiny to determine what is image and what is paper. Actual rips are combined with images of rips to create a similar flux between real and faux. The work incorporates the materiality of the photograph and the image so that the two are read in unison, making their separation difficult. This project sets out to highlight the problematic relationship between the image and material of a photograph. It does this by confounding the viewer's escape into imagery through self referencing the photograph and enhancing its material. These devices constantly remind us of the object qualities of the work. It produces a dialogue and contemplation around the relationship between material and image. It raises issues regarding the meaning engendered by the material of the photograph, as well as issues about originality, aura, reproduction and commodity. The paradoxes and ironies associated with the photograph are highlighted, adding to an ongoing dialogue about the role and importance of the photographic in our culture.
The refining crucible : Shakespeare and lyric sequences in Victorian England
Creators: name: Ransley, Ambrose Allan Digby

description: Since the early years of the Victorian era, Shakespeare's pre-eminence as a dramatist has itself prompted much of the attention paid to his Sonnets, because their celebrated biographical 'hints' suggest knowledge of the 'real life' of this most universal of English creative geniuses. Indeed it was simply the fact that Shakespeare was the author of these poems that induced several influential Victorians to read them at all. Five of the major poets of Victorian England wrote lyric sequences which have suffered a like fate. Tennyson's In Memoriam, Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Sonnets from the Portuguese, Christina Rossetti's Manna Innominata, Dante Gabriel Rossetti's The ttouse of Life and George Meredith's Modern Love - all of these have been read as autobiography, as thinly disguised, or even transparent, confessions of actual experience.. This dissertation takes the view that poetry must stand on its own, independent of the poets' biographies. It con tends that what makes Shakespeare's sonnets and these Victorian sequences lastingly valuable is the central consciousness of each one, regarded as an artistic creation, not as an autobiographical sketch of the poet. This central consciousness, this poetic protagonist, I call the 'sequence persona'. To demonstrate the presence of a persona proper to each of these five Victorian sequences, I have adopted a quite new critical approach. Chapter I demonstrates the existence in Shakespeare's Sonnets of what I call the Shakespearean persona. This involves close textual analysis of a number of the poems and includes some differentiation of Shakespeare's methods from (vi) those of other Elizabethans such as Sir Philip Sidney and Edmund Spenser. Out of this comes a thesis to the effect that Shakespeare's sonnets are unconventional in their content and language because they cumulatively create an individual rather than a Petrarchan sensibility. Chapter I offers, in itself, a contribution to the study of Shakespeare's Sonnets, but its main purpose in the dissertation is to locate a crucible in which the poetic emotions of the Victorians were refined to produce a new yield of artistic gold. Chapters II-V demonstrate the existence of an equally distinct persona, akin to that of Shakespeare's Sonnets, in each of the named Victorian sequences. I accompany this analysis with, and indeed often conduct it through, a comparison of individual Victorian poems and particular Shakespearean sonnets. The Conclusion codifies, clear of poetic analysis, the usefulness of reading these major nineteenth-century sequences with the Shakespearean model in mind, and suggests that the method adopted in this dissertation might well be used for fresh study of other less unified and less important examples of Vi~torian love poetry.
