Small shift Mossbauer spectrometer
Creators: name: Beveridge, John Leslie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: In this thesis a small shift Mossbauer spectrometer developed by the author is described. An automatic multiplexing and printout system for eight scalers is described along with a digital electronic control system for the motor drive. Three-different suspension systems, for the transport portion of the linear drive -- (1) An air bearing suspension as developed by Wells (2) An oil supported teflon bearing suspension (3) A leadscrew suspension have been constructed. Mossbauer spectra for two sources – CO57 in Armco iron and CO57 in Pt195 -- against an enriched iron absorber have been taken with the latter two suspensions and have been compared with each other and with spectra taken on a commercial Mossbauer spectrometer. Theoretical calculations of the central Mossbauer line for the Armco iron source and enriched iron absorber have been made using the computer program written by Woodrow. These calculations are compared with the experimental spectra.

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: The rich novel materials class of iron based superconductors turned out to exhibit a very complex electronic structure, despite of the simplicity of their crystal structures. For various approaches to study the instability against magnetic order or superconductivity, a real space description of the electronic structure is required. Here, the bonding situation and the orbital structure of the electronic state are analyzed and minimum tight-binding models quantitatively correctly describing the low-energy electronic structure are provided.
Investigation of the dynamics of radiation fronts
Creators: name: Zuzak, William W.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: A theoretical investiation of steady radiation fronts was carried out for the experimentally realistic situation in which ionizing or dissociating radiation passes through a transparent window into an absorbing gas. It was shown that five different types of radiation fronts may occur -depending on the ratio of photon flux to absorber density. It was possible to calculate the flow in each case provided the final temperature behind the radiation front was assumed. This final temperature may be calculated if the structure and all reactions within the radiation front are taken into account. An analytic expression can be obtained if particle motion and recombination are neglected , and the radiation is assumed to be monochromatic. This ideal case corresponds closely to a weak R-type radiation front. A first order relativistic correction indicates that the width of the front decreases as the velocity of the front approaches the speed of light. In an associated experiment radiation fronts in oxygen and iodine were produced by an intense light pulse from a constricted arc. The experiment in iodine demonstrated the beginning of the formation of a radiation front during the 10 μsec light pulse. Radiation induced shock waves were observed in oxygen after the decay of the light pulse. These Mach 1.1 shocks were considered theoretically as unsteady one-dimensional flow and were treated by the method of characteristics, which was modified to include the energy input. The agreement between the theoretical and experimental results was satisfactory.

The experimental data is compared with density functional theory electronic structure calculations. We use our experimental spectra of the oxygen K-edge to estimate the bandgaps of these materials, and compare our results to the range of values available in the literature.

description: For the regeneration or creation of functional tissues, biodegradable biomaterials including polylactic acid (PLA) are widely preferred. Modifications of the material surface are quite common to improve cell-material interactions and thereby support the biological outcome. Typical approaches include a wet chemical treatment with mostly hazardous substances or a functionalization with plasma. In the present study, gas-phase fluorination was applied to functionalize the PLA surfaces in a simple and one-step process. The biological response including biocompatibility, cell adhesion, cell spreading, and proliferation was analyzed in cell culture experiments with fibroblasts L929 and correlated with changes in the surface properties. Surface characterization methods including surface energy and isoelectric point measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy were applied to identify the effects of fluorination on PLA. Gas-phase fluorination causes the formation of C-F bonds in the PLA backbone, which induce a shift to a more hydrophilic and polar surface. The slightly negatively charged surface dramatically improves cell adhesion and spreading of cells on the PLA even with low fluorine content. The results indicate that this improved biological response is protein-but not integrin-dependent. Gas-phase fluorination is therefore an efficient technique to improve cellular response to biomaterial surfaces without losing cytocompatibility. Copyright © 2020 American Chemical Society.
Observation of the collective flow in proton-proton collisions

description: The scenario of a collective expansion of matter created in proton-proton (p-p) collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is discussed. Assuming a small transverse size and a formation time of 0.1fm/c of the source we observe the build up of a substantial transverse flow in relativistic hydrodynamic simulations. In order to demonstrate the collectivity in p-p collisions we propose to look at the multiplicity dependence of the elliptic flow coefficient. If high multiplicity events originate from azimuthally asymmetric events containing two flux tubes, an observable signal above the statistical fluctuations in the measured elliptic flow could appear.

A history of the Tasmanian wine industry
Creators: name: Walker, AC
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Viticulture and winemaking have become important industries in Tasmania, with a rich narrative dating back to the 1820s, but little work had been done on researching and recording this history. This thesis sets out to fill that gap, dividing the history into three distinct phases. The first, from settlement to 1870 was unsuccessful and it was generally accepted by the end of that phase that Tasmania was not a wine growing country‚ÄövÑvp. The second brief phase, in the 1880s and 1890s, covers Diego Bernacchi's attempts to establish a commercial vineyard on Maria Island, with his lack of success confirming the conventional wisdom. By the turn of the century, Tasmania was the only state without a commercial wine industry. The third phase began in the 1950s and has seen the establishment of a vibrant and viable industry, rapidly acquiring an international reputation for premium cool climate wine. This thesis attempts to explain the apparent contradiction of the failure of the early attempts and the success of the current phase. The central argument is that the difference lies largely in luck and circumstance, rather than any variation in will or effort. I argue that precisely the same factors which mitigated against the success of earlier attempts- climate, technology and public taste- now promote its success. Earlier impediments have become competitive advantages. I have also examined the social and cultural background of the different eras, and attempted to track the evolving motivations for aspiring vignerons, using McIntyre's theory of a civilized industry producing a civilizing drink‚ÄövÑvp in the earlier eras and the concepts of vineyards as vanity projects‚ÄövÑvp in the current context. The thesis also attempts to explain why, in comparison with similar regions nationally and internationally, and despite widespread success and praise for its wines, the Tasmanian industry has grown so slowly. I argue that the Australian wine industry has been slow to adapt to changing circumstances, continuing to develop areas which were initially chosen for fortified wine production, rather than make cool climate investments, despite the evidence of climate change, and evolving public taste. 52 oral history recordings were made in the research for the current era, using a high quality digital recorder, and these will go into a permanent industry archive. The narrative itself has value in providing a permanent record of the beginnings of an important industry, and acknowledging the contributions of its many pioneers.

description: We give a general class of static, spherically symmetric, non-asymptotically flat and asymptotically non-(anti) de Sitter black hole solutions in Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton (EMD) theory of gravity in 4-dimensions. In this general study we couple a magnetic Maxwell field with a general dilaton potential, while double Liouville-type potentials are coupled with the gravity. We show that the dilatonic parameters play the key role in switching between the Bertotti-Robinson and Reissner-Nordström spacetimes. We study the stability of such black holes under a linear radial perturbation, and in this sense we find exceptional cases that the EMD black holes are unstable. In continuation we give a detailed study of the spin-weighted harmonics in dilatonic Hawking radiation spectrum and compare our results with the previously known ones. Finally, we investigate the status of resulting naked singularities of our general solution when probed with quantum test particles.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Cultural studies were carried out with haploid strains of Tremella mesenterica Fr., T. encephala Pers. and T. subanomala Coker to determine the conditions and course of conjugation. Under the conditions of the experiments, the optimum pH for growth was 4.7 for all three species and so also was the optimum for conjugation in mixed isolates of T. encephala and T. mesenterica. A time lapse sequence was photographed to follow the course of conjugation in mixed isolates of T. mesenterica. Conjugation hormones such as those reported for T. mesenterica by Bandoni (1965) were demonstrated for the other two species. These hormones passed through dialysis membrane into agar. Extremely dilute suspensions of T. mesenterica haplonts were pulse exposed to semipurified hormone extracts. These suspensions were filtered and the cells were observed on the dried filter cleared with glacial acetic acid. Conjugation tube production terminated with removal of the hormone. Growth and conjugation in T. mesenterica were unaffected by the antibiotic cycloheximide.

description: The interplay of orbital and spin degrees of freedom is the fundamental characteristic in numerous condensed matter phenomena, including high-temperature superconductivity, quantum spin liquids, and topological semimetals. In iron-based superconductors (FeSCs), this causes superconductivity to emerge in the vicinity of two other instabilities: nematic and magnetic. Unveiling the mutual relationship among nematic order, spin fluctuations, and superconductivity has been a major challenge for research in FeSCs, but it is still controversial. Here, by carrying out 77Se nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements on FeSe single crystals, doped by cobalt and sulfur that serve as control parameters, we demonstrate that the superconducting transition temperature Tc increases in proportion to the strength of spin fluctuations, while it is independent of the nematic transition temperature Tnem. Our observation therefore directly implies that superconductivity in FeSe is essentially driven by spin fluctuations in the intermediate coupling regime, while nematic fluctuations have a marginal impact on Tc.

description: We begin an exploration of the capacity of the stationary accretion shock instability (SASI) to generate magnetic fields by adding a weak, stationary, and radial (but bipolar) magnetic field, and in some cases rotation, to an initially spherically symmetric fluid configuration that models a stalled shock in the post-bounce supernova environment. In axisymmetric simulations we find that cycles of latitudinal flows into and radial flows out of the polar regions amplify the field parallel to the symmetry axis, typically increasing the total magnetic energy by about two orders of magnitude. Nonaxisymmetric calculations result in fundamentally different flows and a larger magnetic energy increase: shearing associated with the SASI spiral mode contributes to a widespread and turbulent field amplification mechanism, boosting the magnetic energy by almost four orders of magnitude (a result which remains very sensitive to the spatial resolution of the numerical simulations). While the SASI may contribute to neutron star magnetization, these simulations do not show qualitatively new features in the global evolution of the shock as a result of SASI-induced magnetic field amplification.

Tourism and bushwalking in the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park context, characteristics and impacts
Creators: name: Byers, MC
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park has a unique natural environment, characterised by a varied geology, a heavily glaciated landscape, a cool wet alpine climate with considerable seasonal variation, a complex mosaic of plant communities including many endemic Tasmanian species, and high-quality wilderness values. The area now reserved in the Park has been subject to a variety of land uses, nearly all concerned with resource extraction or utilisation. The Park has considerable cultural heritage values, including numerous remnants of these previous uses. The Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park is an important destination for tourists and bushwalkers alike. This study aims to examine tourism and bushwalking in the Park. This involves the investigation of the nature of these uses, the supply of tourism infrastructure, the numbers and characteristics of users, and the impacts resulting from these uses. Research work included personal observation, the collection of background information, the analysis of Parks and Wildlife Service statistics, water quality sampling. the undertaking of a questionnaire survey of Overland Track walkers, and a survey of the condition of the Overland and Pine Valley tracks. The study finds that both tourism and bushwalking have increased considerably in recent years. Upgrading of the tracks and other tourist infrastructure has made the Park more accessible and attracted new types of visitor. While these increasing levels of visitation have resulted in a range of benefits, they have also resulted in many negative impacts, mainly on the natural environment. Tourism, bush walking, and their resulting impacts require active management by the Parks and Wildlife Service. Several recommendations are made as to how this management can be improved.

description: The soft X-ray emission in obscured active galactic nuclei (AGN) is dominated by emission lines, produced in a gas photoionized by the nuclear continuum and likely spatially coincident with the optical narrow line region (NLR). However, a fraction of the observed soft X-ray flux appears like a featureless power law continuum. If the continuum underlying the soft X-ray emission lines is due to Thomson scattering of the nuclear radiation, it should be very highly polarized. We calculated the expected amount of polarization assuming a simple conical geometry for the NLR, combining these results with the observed fraction of the reflected continuum in bright obscured AGN.

After supersymmetry breaking, the Casimir energy fixes the shape moduli at fixed points in field space where the symmetry of the torus lattice is enhanced. Localized Fayet-Iliopoulos terms stabilize the volume modulus at a size much smaller than the inverse supersymmetry breaking scale. All moduli masses are smaller than the gravitino mass.

description: Graphene doping principally commenced to compensate for its inert nature and create an appropriate bandgap. Doping of 3D graphene has emerged as a topic of interest because of attempts to combine its large available surface area—arising from its interconnected porous architecture—with superior catalytic, structural, chemical, and biocompatible characteristics that can be induced by doping. In light of the latest developments, this review provides an overview of the scalable chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-based growth of doped 3D graphene materials as well as their applications in various contexts, such as in devices used for energy generation and gas storage and biosensors. In particular, single- and multielement doping of 3D graphene by various dopants (such as nitrogen (N), boron (B), sulfur (S) and phosphorous (P)), the doping configurations of the resultant materials, an overview of recent developments in the field of CVD, and the influence of various parameters of CVD on graphene doping and 3D morphologies are focused in this paper. Finally, this report concludes the discussion by mentioning the existing challenges and future opportunities of these developing graphitic materials, intending to inspire the unveiling of more exciting functionalized 3D graphene morphologies and their potential properties, which can hopefully realize many possible applications. © 2019 The Authors.

We find that the axial charges have rather weak quark-mass dependence and the breaking in SU(3)-flavor symmetry is small at each quark-mass point we consider.

description: For many photonic applications, it is important to confine light of a specific wavelength at a certain volume of interest at low losses. So far, it is only possible to use the polarized light perpendicular to the solid grid lines to excite waveguide-plasmon polaritons in a waveguide-supported hybrid structure. In our work, we use a plasmonic grating fabricated by colloidal self-assembly and an ultrathin injection layer to guide the resonant modes selectively. We use gold nanoparticles self-assembled in a linear template on a titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) layer to study the dispersion relation with conventional ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared spectroscopic methods. Supported with finite-difference in time-domain simulations, we identify the optical band gaps as hybridized modes: plasmonic and photonic resonances. Compared to metallic grids, the observation range of hybridized guided modes can now be extended to modes along the nanoparticle chain lines. With future applications in energy conversion and optical filters employing these cost-efficient and upscalable directed self-assembly methods, we discuss also the application in refractive index sensing of the particle-based hybridized guided modes.

description: Using data from FOCUS (E831) experiment at Fermilab, we present a model independent partial-wave analysis of the $K^-π^+$ S-wave amplitude from the decay $D^+ \to K^-π^+π^+$. The S-wave is a generic complex function to be determined directly from the data fit. The P- and D-waves are parameterized by a sum of Breit-Wigner amplitudes. The measurement of the S-wave amplitude covers the whole elastic range of the $K^-π^+$ system.

description: This study is concerned with the practicability of using operations research in a small business. For purposes of the study, operations research is regarded as a separate management function for applying scientific methods to the understanding of the operations of goal-directed organizations. A small business is defined with regard to the size of its operations as having a value added of less than five million dollars per year. An examination of recent surveys demonstrates that operations research is a prevalent, growing and valuable management aid in large and medium sized companies. They also provide evidence that OR is not used extensively in small business. On the other hand, statistics on business failures and reports of research on the management of small companies provide evidence that small businesses have management problems which possibly could be solved by operations research. A survey of local small business management was conducted principally to determine the extent to which operations research is used by small companies, the reasons for non-use of OR by most small businesses and the existence of operating problems which might be effectively solved by operations research. This survey, as well as other evidence indicates that operations research is used to a very limited extent by small business. The reasons for non-use are: 1) the non-analytical approach of small business management, 2) the managers' lack of familiarity with operations research, 3) the lack of trained personnel, 4) the unavailability of accurate, relevant data, 5) the high cost of leasing and operating electronic computers and 6) the opinion that OR is not economical for small business. This survey and other research has identified small business problems to which OR might effectively be applied. Retaining consultants is a means of overcoming the lack of trained personnel especially if the small business maintains a continuing relationship with a consultant who has a small, flexible operation and the ability to assist in other management functions. Computer time-sharing and computer service bureaus are inexpensive means of obtaining the computer capability which is often necessary for operations research. Small computers may also be feasible for a small business if it has enough other data processing work. A case study of a local small business identified sales forecasting, capital budgeting, production scheduling and inventory control as areas in which operations research could possibly contribute towards the Company's goals. Formulation and testing of decision rules for inventory management and estimation of the costs of an inventory control system for the Company demonstrate that operations research is practical for this small business.

description: This study explores the challenges of integrating digital resources in teaching Arabic language components, particularly in light of rapid technological advancements, which require effective management of these resources in planning, implementation, and evaluation. It highlights the necessity for teachers to acquire advanced digital skills to achieve technological competence, whether through training in educational centers or continuous self-directed learning. The study aims to promote the use of digital resources in interactive Arabic language classrooms, where learners take an active role in knowledge construction, thereby enhancing their motivation. By analyzing educational documents advocating digital integration, the study examines ways to develop digital competence for both teachers and learners. Additionally, it includes a practical application through a pedagogical scenario for teaching narrative texts (common core scientific track, secondary level), proposing a framework to improve educational and practical understanding of Arabic language components using digital tools.

description: We present a spectrally decorrelated photon pair source bridging the visible and telecom wavelength regions. Tailored design and fabrication of a solid-core photonic crystal fiber (PCF) lead to the emission of signal and idler photons into only a single spectral and spatial mode. Thus no narrowband filtering is necessary and the heralded generation of pure photon number states in ultrafast wave packets at telecom wavelengths becomes possible.

description: Field Programmable Gate Arrays promise to deliver superior energy efficiency in heterogeneous high performance computing, as compared to multicore CPUs and GPUs. The rate of adoption is however hampered by the relative difficulty of programming FPGAs. High-level synthesis tools such as Xilinx Vivado, Altera OpenCL or Intel's HLS address a large part of the programmability issue by synthesizing a Hardware Description Languages representation from a high-level specification of the application, given in programming languages such as OpenCL C, typically used to program CPUs and GPUs. Although HLS solutions make programming easier, they fail to also lighten the burden of optimization. Application developers must rely on expert knowledge to manually optimize their applications for each target device, meaning that traditional HLS solutions do not offer a solution to the issue of performance portability. This state of fact prompted the development of compiler frameworks such as TyTra that operate at an even higher level of abstraction that is amenable to the use of Design Space Exploration (DSE). With DSE the initial program specification can be seen as the starting location in a search-space of correct-by-construction program transformations. In TyTra the search-space is generated from the transitive-closure of term-level transformations derived from type-level transformations. Compiler frameworks such as TyTra theoretically solve the issue of performance portability by providing a way to automatically generate alternative correct program variants. They however suffer from the very practical issue that the generated space is often too large to fully explore. As a consequence, the globally optimal solution may be overlooked. In this work we provide a novel solution to issue performance portability by deriving an efficient yet effective DSE strategy for the TyTra compiler framework. We make use of categorical data types to derive categorical semantics for the formal languages that describe the terms, types, cost-performance estimates and their transformations. From these we define a category of interpretations for TyTra applications, from which we derive a DSE strategy that finds the globally optimal transformation sequence in polynomial time. This is achieved by reducing the size of the generated search space. We formally state and prove a theorem for this claim and then show that the polynomial run-time for our DSE strategy has practically negligible coefficients leading to sub-second exploration times for realistic applications.

description: In Horava's theory of gravity, Lorentz symmetry is broken in exchange for renormalizability, but the original theory has been argued to be plagued with problems associated with a new scalar mode stemming from the very breaking of Lorentz symmetry. Recently, Blas, Pujolas, and Sibiryakov have proposed a healthy extension of Horava gravity, in which the behavior of the scalar mode is improved. In this paper, we study scalar modes of cosmological perturbations in extended Horava gravity. The evolution of metric and density perturbations is addressed analytically and numerically. It is shown that for vanishing non-adiabatic pressure of matter the large scale evolution of cosmological perturbations converges to that described by a single constant, $ζ$, which is an analog of a curvature perturbation on the uniform-density slicing commonly used in usual gravitational theories. The subsequent evolution is thus determined completely by the value of $ζ$.

description: One of the most important social cognitive skills in humans is the ability to “put oneself in someone else’s shoes,” that is, to take another person’s perspective. In socially situated communication, perspective taking enables the listener to arrive at a meaningful interpretation of what is said (sentence meaning) and what is meant (speaker’s meaning) by the speaker. To successfully decode the speaker’s meaning, the listener has to take into account which information he/she and the speaker share in their common ground (CG). We here further investigated competing accounts about when and how CG information affects language comprehension by means of reaction time (RT) measures, accuracy data, event-related potentials (ERPs), and eye-tracking. Early integration accounts would predict that CG information is considered immediately and would hence not expect to find costs of CG integration. Late integration accounts would predict a rather late and effortful integration of CG information during the parsing process that might be reflected in integration or updating costs. Other accounts predict the simultaneous integration of privileged ground (PG) and CG perspectives. We used a computerized version of the referential communication game with object triplets of different sizes presented visually in CG or PG. In critical trials (i.e., conflict trials), CG information had to be integrated while privileged information had to be suppressed. Listeners mastered the integration of CG (response accuracy 99.8%). Yet, slower RTs, and enhanced late positivities in the ERPs showed that CG integration had its costs. Moreover, eye-tracking data indicated an early anticipation of referents in CG but an inability to suppress looks to the privileged competitor, resulting in later and longer looks to targets in those trials, in which CG information had to be considered. Our data therefore support accounts that foresee an early anticipation of referents to be in CG but a rather late and effortful integration if conflicting information has to be processed. We show that both perspectives, PG and CG, contribute to socially situated language processing and discuss the data with reference to theoretical accounts and recent findings on the use of CG information for reference resolution.
