description: The ultra-precise machining (UPM) of surfaces with contact-free, beam-based technologies enables the development of flexible and reliable fabrication methods by non-vacuum processes for future application in advanced industrial fields. Laser machining by laser ablation features limitations for ultra-precise machining due to the depth precision, the surface morphology, and laser-induced defect formation. Contrary to physically-based etching, chemical-based dry and wet processing offer high quality, low damage material removal. In order to take advantage of both principles, a combined laser-plasma process is introduced. Ultra-short laser pulses are used to induce a free-standing microplasma in a CF4 gas atmosphere due to an optical breakdown. CF4 gas, with a pressure of 800–900 mbar, is ionized only near the focal point and reactive species are generated therein. Reactive species of the laser-induced microplasma can interact with the surface atoms of the target material forming volatile products. The release of these products is enhanced by the pulsed, laser-induced plasma resulting in material etching. In the present study, SiO2 surfaces were etched with reactive species of CF4 microplasma generated by their laser-induced break down with 775 nm pulses of an fs-laser (150 fs) at a repetition rate of 1 kHz. The dependency of the depth, the width, and the morphology of the etching pits were analysed systematically against the process parameters used. In particular, a linear increase of the etching depth up to 10 µm was achieved. The etched surface appears smooth without visible cracks, defects, or LIPSS (Laser-induced periodic surface structures). © 2020, The Author(s).

description: Das Projekt EXTREMENESS verfolgte das Ziel, extreme Nordseesturmfluten zu identifizieren und zu beschreiben, die zum einen extrem unwahrscheinlich, zum anderen aber noch physikalisch plausibel sind. Darauf aufbauend wurden in einem transdisziplinären Ansatz mögliche Auswirkungen untersucht und diskutiert, welche Maßnahmen und Handlungsoptionen im Umgang mit solchen Extremereignissen existieren. EXTREMENESS leistet damit wichtige Beiträge zur Diskussion über Anpassung, Formen und Notwendigkeiten eines zukünftigen Küstenschutzes und Risikomanagements.
description: The objectives of the project EXTREMENESS were to provide detailed information and assessment of storm surge events that are highly unlikely but which are potentially linked with extreme consequences. In a transdisciplinary approach scientists together with a group of stakeholders from authorities, disaster risk management, industry and other interest groups identified those elements of severe storm tides that may create risk for strong impacts and cascading effects and analyzed options to mitigate and to deal with potential consequences. This way EXTREMENESS provides a contribution to the ongoing discussion on adaptation and needs for future sustainable coastal protection and risk management.

description: We explore the connection between black hole spin and AGN power by addressing the consequences underlying the assumption in the recent literature that the gap region between accretion disks and black holes is fundamental in producing strong, spin-dependent, horizon-threading magnetic fields. Under the additional assumption that jets and outflows in AGN are produced by the Blandford-Znajek and Blandford-Payne mechanisms, we show that maximum jet/outflow power is achieved for accretion onto black holes having highly retrograde spin parameter, an energetically excited yet unstable gravitomagnetic configuration.

description: Based on first-principles calculations, we resent a method to reveal the elastic properties of recently synthesized monolayer hydrocarbon, graphane. The in-plane stiffness and Poisson's ratio values are found to be smaller than those of graphene, and its yielding strain decreases in the presence of various vacancy defects and also at high ambient temperature. We also found that the band gap can be strongly modified by applied strain in the elastic range.

Steric and electronic investigations into Samarium (II) dinitrogen, heteroalkyne and heterocycle reductions
Creators: name: James, AN
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis describes the synthesis, characterisation and reactivity of a range of samarium(II) and samarium(III) complexes of a modified porphyrinogen, trans-N,N¬†œÄ-dimethyl-meso-octaethylporphyrinogen, `Et_8N_4Me_2H_2`. Various related reactivity themes include the sterically rigid porphyrinogen and the `Sm^(II)``/``Sm^(III)` redox couple. Chapter 1 provides a broad introduction and relevant background on the properties of samarium with respect to the other lanthanoids. General aspects of the organometallic chemistry of the lanthanoid elements are discussed, including: sterically induced reduction, relevant and related chemistry of the modified porphyrinogen, and general considerations of computational techniques employed in this thesis. Chapter 2 outlines the synthesis of a Lewis base free (unsolvated) samarium(II) porphyrinogen complex, [`{(Et_8N_4Me_2)Sm}_n`], and its subsequent unprecedented reactivity with dinitrogen to provide the first example of end-on binding of dinitrogen to a lanthanoid element, [`{(Et_8N_4Me_2)Sm}_2(˜í¬¿-˜í‚àë^1:˜í‚àë^1-N_2)`]. The unique binding mode is rationalised by steric and electronic arguments and subsequently probed by theoretical investigations which provide a richer understanding of the degree of activation of the dinitrogen moiety. A number of other `Sm^(II)` complexes are also reported. The reactions of the samarium(II) complex, [`(Et_8N_4Me_2)Sm(THF)_2`] and simple N-heteroalkynes are described in Chapter 3. At room temperature, simple 2:1 and 1:1 adducts of nitriles are observed, while isonitriles and nitriles at higher temperature are reduced by the samarium(II) complex resulting initially in C‚Äöv†v¿N and C‚Äöv†v¿C bond cleavage, respectively, with catalytic oligomerisation of nitriles and t- Butyl radical trapping chemistry observed as subsequent steps. A systematic investigation of the interaction between substituted pyridines, benzannulated pyridines, 2,2¬†œÄ-bipyridine and substituted 1,10-phenanthrolines by X-ray crystallography is detailed in Chapter 4. Reaction outcomes including mono and bis- adduct formation, single electron ligand reduction, and reductive dimerisations are reported. Computational techniques are employed to analyse unpaired electron populations and thus determine oxidation states and rationalise reactivity observations regarding ligand reduction versus reductive dimerisation across this series. Concluding remarks and comments regarding further work are made in Chapter 5; all references are catalogued in Chapter 6. General experimental information is provided in Appendix A. A rigorous trigonometric definition of the molecular geometry is provided in Appendix B. The X-ray crystal structure data, by way of crystallographic information file (.CIF), is provided electronically in Appendix C. Computational output files (.OUT) are provided electronically in Appendix D.
The effect of training in gross motor and fine motor skills on the improvement of reading in a selected group of grade one students.
Creators: name: Welch, David E.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of special motor training on a group of grade one pupils who were having difficulty in reading. Ten grade one students were selected from the Sir Richard McBride Elementary School in Vancouver. These pupils were classed as potentially poor readers on the basis of the Metropolitan Reading Readiness Test and the Winter Haven Perceptual Copy Forms Test. A matched group of ten pupils, which would act as a control group, was selected from the Annex to the McBride School. The two groups were matched according to age, sex, and the results of the reading readiness s test and the perceptual form test. The experimental group received sixteen weeks of special motor training which was carried on for one hour a day, five days a week. At the completion of the training period all subjects were given the Stanford Achievement Test and the Winter Haven Perceptual Form Test. The differences between the means of the raw scores of the two groups were statistically analyzed. The t-test was used and the t required for significance at the .05 level of confidence was 2.10. The t's obtained indicated a very significant improvement of the experimental group over the control group in reading ability. The following indicated the obtained t on each item of the reading test plus the perceptual form test. 1. Word Meaning 10.38 2. Paragraph Meaning 5.35 3. Spelling 5.83 4. Word Study Skills 4.04 5. Perceptual Form 11.11 There was no significant difference in vocabulary. Because of certain experimental conditions which could not be controlled, it could not definitely be indicated that the improvement was due entirely to the motor skills program. The apparent lack of direct relationship between levels of perceptual ability and reading achievement raises several questions. Further information is needed before the reason for apparent differences between improvement in perceptual and reading skills following a special motor training program can be understood.

description: The chapter demonstrates the development of the Wrocław School of Political Systems after the democratic transformation of 1989. It reconstructs the most important theoretical and methodological assumptions adopted by the doyens of the school and developed in later years by the next generation of researchers. It tries to answer the questions, in which direction the research on political systems was developed in the Wrocław academic centre and what the specificity of this particular school is based on, which - according to the Thomas S. Kuhn's concept of competing schools - makes it possible to distinguish it from other schools. It indicates four fields of this specificity, i.e. (a) theoretical-methodological, (b) thematic, (c) applied and (d) organisational. An integral part of the essay is a preliminary bibliography of the Wrocław School of Political Systems including - in its current version - monographs, textbooks, theses and expert reports.

description: We describe a mathematical formalism and numerical algorithms for identifying and tracking slowly mixing objects in nonautonomous dynamical systems. In the autonomous setting, such objects are variously known as almost-invariant sets, metastable sets, persistent patterns, or strange eigenmodes, and have proved to be important in a variety of applications. In this current work, we explain how to extend existing autonomous approaches to the nonautonomous setting. We call the new time-dependent slowly mixing objects coherent sets as they represent regions of phase space that disperse very slowly and remain coherent. The new methods are illustrated via detailed examples in both discrete and continuous time.

description: Pathogen burden is a construct developed to assess the cumulative effects of multiple, persistent pathogens on morbidity and mortality. Despite the likely biological wear and tear on multiple body systems caused by persistent infections, few studies have examined the impact of total pathogen burden on such outcomes and specifically on preclinical markers of dysfunction. Using data from two waves of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, we compared three alternative methods for measuring pathogen burden, composed of mainly persistent viral infections, using a cumulative deficits index (CDI) as an outcome: single pathogen associations, a pathogen burden summary score and latent class analyses. We found significant heterogeneity in the distribution of the CDI by age, sex, race/ethnicity and education. There was an association between pathogen burden and the CDI by all three metrics. The latent class classification of pathogen burden showed particularly strong associations with the CDI; these associations remained after controlling for age, sex, body mass index, smoking, race/ethnicity and education. Our results suggest that pathogen burden may influence early clinical indicators of poor health as measured by the CDI. Our results are salient since we were able to detect these associations in a relatively young population. These findings suggest that reducing pathogen burden and the specific pathogens that drive the CDI may provide a target for preventing the early development of age-related physiological changes. © 2018 Cambridge University Press.
Antipodean England'? A history of drought, fire and flood in Tasmania from European settlement in 1803 to the 1960s.
Creators: name: Evans, Kathryn
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The influence of climatic variability on the European history of Tasmania has largely been neglected as a field of study. It is demonstrated here that severe weather events, such as drought, floods, storms, extreme cold and bushfires, have had a significant impact on that history. Drought affected farming operations, town water supplies, mining and industry, and later hydro-electric power generation. Floods and storms disrupted transport and communication networks and damaged property in towns and in the country. Bushfires also periodically wrought widespread property damage. An environmental history approach is employed to explore the dominant images and perceptions of Tasmania‚ÄövÑvºs climate, the impacts of severe weather events on the population, the responses made to them, and how these changed over time from 1803 to the 1960s. For ease of analysis, the thesis is divided into four periods of post settlement history: early European settlement from 1803 to the 1810s; the period of pastoral expansion from the 1820s to 1855; from self-government in 1856 to 1900; and from Federation in 1901 to the 1960s. Scrutiny of a range of primary and secondary source material, including official despatches, government department records, meteorological data, emigrant guides, scientific papers, newspaper accounts, farm diaries and private correspondence, published and unpublished works on the histories of towns or regions, industries, government agencies, land settlement policies and Tasmanian identity and promotion, resulted in new insights into the role played by severe weather events on Tasmanian history. The thesis also advances knowledge of these events and their impacts on Tasmanian society, economics and politics. From the first years of settlement Tasmania was widely promoted and regarded as an ‚ÄövÑvªAntipodean England‚ÄövÑvº ‚Äö- relatively free of the harsh climatic extremes of mainland Australia. It is argued here that this image was both inaccurate and inappropriate ‚Äö- inaccurate because drought, floods, storms and bushfires are all part of the natural weather cycles of Tasmania and have, at times, severely affected the Tasmanian population; and inappropriate, because it downplayed the potential risks posed by climatic variability and contributed to a state of unpreparedness by government and the wider population. The thesis demonstrates that severe weather events have long affected Tasmanian history, that they occur within a wider environmental, cultural and societal context that influences their human consequences, and that the nature and severity of these impacts changed over time.

Navigating the right to a fair trial for vulnerable suspects pretrial: a legal and psychological critique of the Strasbourg jurisprudence

Publisher: name: University of Limerick
Year: 2025
Subjects: classificationCode: 48
subject: Law and legal studies

description: Pretrial criminal processes can prove challenging for suspects with intellectual and psychosocial disabilities. In recognition of this, the European Court of Human Rights has emphasized the importance of individualized assessments of vulnerability under Article 6. Yet, recent Strasbourg jurisprudence reveals a juridical willingness to define vulnerability narrowly with significant implications. This article analyses this jurisprudence to excavate the framing of vulnerability vis-à-vis fair trial rights during pretrial processes. Drawing upon a corpus of psychology and law literature, as well as the dissenting judgment in Hasáliková, it critiques the narrow formulation of vulnerability that has taken hold in Strasbourg and interrogates the Court’s ostensible faith in the safeguarding capacity of lawyers. By using Ireland’s weak pretrial procedural framework as a heuristic lens through which the shortcomings of this approach can be understood, it calls for a more generous conceptualization of vulnerability that is sensitive to the ontological and structural dimensions at play.
The consequences and impacts of maverick politicians on contemporary Australian politics
Creators: name: Tucker, PE
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis analyses the consequences and impacts of maverick politicians on contemporary Australian politics, especially Australian political parties. The thesis uses a case study methodology to argue that maverick politicians are one manifestation of an anti-political mood currently found in the electorate; that they provide parties with a testing ground to develop leaders, although maverickism and leadership are a difficult mix of attributes to sustain; that they can have significant influence on a party's policy formulation; and that they form strong organisational ties within the party, centred on localism. The research is important because there has been little enquiry into political mavericks in the literature; although the term maverick‚ÄövÑvp is widely used in the media and scholarly work there is no consensus on what political maverick means, who political mavericks are or the consequences of their actions. This thesis sheds some light on those questions and helps explain the associated concepts of celebrity politician‚ÄövÑvp and conviction politician‚ÄövÑvp - concepts which are similarly poorly researched but widely used.

To address this issue, we propose a novel adversarial learning framework that incorporates noise-disentanglement to establish a noise-independent speaker invariant embedding space. Specifically, the disentanglement module includes two encoders for separating speaker related and irrelevant information, respectively. The reconstruction module serves as a regularization term to constrain the noise. A feature-robust loss is also used to supervise the speaker encoder to learn noise-independent speaker embeddings without losing speaker information. In addition, adversarial training is introduced to discourage the speaker encoder from encoding acoustic condition information for achieving a speaker-invariant embedding space. Experiments on VoxCeleb1 indicate that the proposed method improves the performance of the speaker verification system under both clean and noisy conditions.

description: В Казахстане обыкновенная ме-дянка известна по нескольким встречам 1871–1956 гг. на территории современной Актюбин-ской области: в Алгинском районе, в северных окрестностях города Актобе, у реки Кундуз в Мугоджарах, по правым притокам реки Иргиз. Отсутствие находок за более чем 50 лет мы свя-зываем не с исчезновением вида из фауны Республики Казахстан, а с недостаточными герпето-логическими исследованиями в районах возможного обитания обыкновенной медянки.
The literacies of 'empowerment': literacy practices in a socio-economically disadvantaged community
Creators: name: Millar, PM
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The underpinning theories of this study are that literacy is social practice, embedded in the social context (Street, 1984; Gee, 1990, 1999; Barton & Hamilton 1998); that literacy and identity are closely connected (Gee, 1999, 2001); and that literacy interacts with other knowledge and identity resources to be an important part of the dynamic of the accumulation and use of social capital (Falk & Kilpatrick, 2000). The study uses narrative research and case study techniques to investigate the literacy practices of people in a socio-economically disadvantaged community who engaged with a three and a half year community development project. Treating interview and observational data as actively constructed narratives (Silverman, 2000), these data were then organised in a narrative format. Analysis included strategies of both case and cross-case analysis, and discourse analysis. Findings are presented in story segments which follow the experiences of individuals and a community management group as they engage with the multiliteracies of running effective meetings and developing group collaboration and decision-making capability, of resuming education and training, of volunteering in an adult literacy program, of applying for a job, getting a learner's licence to drive, coping with the medical and behavioral disorders of their children, and coming to terms with issues such as domestic violence and the stigmatisation of their suburb. Progress is achieved, by individuals and by groups. The situated enabling‚ÄövÑvp leadership (Falk & Mulford, 2001) of the Community Management Group was able to function through the three years of the study and was still functioning when the study ended. Because of this, various other community groups were able to operate under its supervision. Some individuals improved their standard of living by obtaining some employment. Others moved into further education and training. The community was better informed as a result of a regular newsletter. An odd jobs service, activity programs for children, an adult literacy program and an anti-abuse program were maintained. But findings suggest that, for individuals and community alike, consolidation of gains in literacy, social capital and empowerment may be a slow and vulnerable process, not helped by the limited time-frames of funding typical of community development projects. New literacy skills and the learning acquired through these must interact with other empowerment factors, such as identity resources, in order to be fully useful.

description: Detection of Gamma-ray emission from a class of active galactic nuclei (viz blazars), has been one of the important findings from the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO). However, their Gamma-ray luminosity function has not been well determined. Few attempts have been made in earlier works, where BL Lacs and Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars (FSRQs) have been considered as a single source class. In this paper we investigated the evolution and Gamma-ray luminosity function of FSRQs and BL Lacs separately. Our investigation indicates no evolution for BL Lacs, however FSRQs show significant evolution. Pure luminosity evolution is assumed for FSRQs and exponential and power law evolution models are examined. Due to the small number of sources, the low luminosity end index of the luminosity function for FSRQs is constrained with upper limit. BL Lac luminosity function shows no signature of break. As a consistency check, the model source distributions deriving from these luminosity functions show no significant departure from the observed source distributions.

description: The discovery and characterization of free-floating planetary-mass objects (FFPMOs) is fundamental to our understanding of star and planet formation. Here we report results from an extremely deep spectroscopic survey of the young star cluster NGC1333 using NIRISS WFSS on the James Webb Space Telescope. The survey is photometrically complete to K~21, and includes useful spectra for objects as faint as K~20.5. The observations cover 19 known brown dwarfs, for most of which we confirm spectral types using NIRISS spectra. We discover six new candidates with L-dwarf spectral types that are plausible planetary-mass members of NGC1333, with estimated masses between 5-15 MJup. One, at ~5 MJup, shows clear infrared excess emission and is a good candidate to be the lowest mass object known to have a disk. We do not find any objects later than mid-L spectral type (M < ~4 MJup). The paucity of Jupiter-mass objects, despite the survey's unprecedented sensitivity, suggests that our observations reach the lowest mass objects formed like stars in NGC1333. Our findings put the fraction of FFPMOs in NGC1333 at ~10% of the number of cluster members, significantly more than expected from the typical log-normal stellar mass function. We also search for wide binaries in our images and report a young brown dwarf with a planetary-mass companion.

description: A search for the decay mu -> e gamma, performed at PSI and based on data from the initial three months of operation of the MEG experiment, yields an upper limit on the branching ratio of BR(mu -> e gamma) < 2.8 x 10**-11 (90% C.L.). This corresponds to the measurement of positrons and photons from ~ 10**14 stopped mu-decays by means of a superconducting positron spectrometer and a 900 litre liquid xenon photon detector.

description: Today polymer/carbon nanotube (CNT) composites can be found in sports equipment, cars, and electronic devices. The growth of old and new markets in this area has been stimulated by our increased understanding of relevant production and processing methods, as well as the considerable price reduction of industrial CNT grades. In particular, CNT based electrically conductive polymer composites (CPCs) offer a range of opportunities because of their unique property profile; they demonstrate low specific gravity in combination with relatively good mechanical properties and processability. The electrical conductivity of polymer/CNT composites results from a continuous filler network that can be affected by various external stimuli, such as temperature shifts, mechanical deformations, and the presence of gases and vapors or solvents. Accordingly, CNT based CPCs represent promising candidates for the design of smart components capable of integrated monitoring. In this article we focus on their use as leakage detectors for organic solvents.
