description: Cyclacene carbon nanobelts represent the last unsynthesized building blocks of carbon nanotubes and are the shortest possible hydrogen capped nanotubes of zigzag type. Recent theoretical predictions indicate that stable cyclacene isomers containing Dewar benzene derived structures may exist. The properties of the Hückel-[n]cyclacene nanobelt complexes containing alkali metal and halide ions (n = 5-8), with zero to two Dewar benzenoid structures present, and transition metal complexes (n = 6, 8) with zero and two Dewar structures present, have been calculated using density functional theory. The halides, alkali metals, and transition metals were initially placed centrally within the belt cavities, and binding interactions have been observed for both positive and negative ions. The most stable isomeric forms are found to change for several of the belt sizes, depending on which ions are present. Internal transition metal sandwich complexes with η6-haptic bonds are also indicated to form within the cyclacene belts containing two Dewar benzenoids.

description: Rotating black holes can power the most extreme non-thermal transient sources. They have a long-duration viscous time-scale of spin-down and produce non-thermal emissions along their spin-axis, powered by a relativistic capillary effect. We report on the discovery of exponential decay in BATSE light curves of long GRBs by matched filtering, consistent with a viscous time-scale, and identify UHECRs energies about the GZK threshold in linear acceleration of ion contaminants along the black hole spin-axis, consistent with black hole masses and lifetimes of FR II AGN. We explain the absence of UHECRs from BL Lac objects due to UHECR emissions preferably at appreciable angles away from the black hole spin-axis. Black hole spin may be key to unification of GRBs and their host environments, and to AGN and their host galaxies. Our model points to long duration bursts in radio from long GRBs without supernovae and gravitational-waves from all long GRBs.

Diseases of the eastern barred bandicoot (Perameles gunnii) with special reference to toxoplasmosis and the marsupial immune system
Creators: name: Bettiol, SS
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The reasons for the population decline of the marsupial the Eastern Barred Bandicoot, Perameles gunnii, in Tasmania, and the probable role of their susceptibility to protozoan diseases such as Toxoplasma gondii remain elusive. The pathological hallmarks of the disease have been extensively investigated in other animal species and although some species are more vulnerable to toxoplasmosis than others, the reason for marsupial vulnerability remains to be fully defined. This thesis has sought to address these and other factors that might be associated with the relationship between the marsupial, its microbial and parasitic diseases, ecological surroundings and immune system. Secondly, it was essential to examine the current disease status of P. gunnii in relation to its zoonotic potential in the Tasmanian setting. Finally, it was necessary to attempt to investigate the immunological status of this animal. The major conclusions from these investigations were that P. gunnii is extremely susceptible to even low doses of T. gondii oocysts. The development of clinical disease is rapid, with high morbidity and mortality. The species appears to be susceptible to other Apicomplexan species including Hepatozoon sp., and the flagellate Giardia. The close association of P. gunnii with humans and the infringement of humans into their habitat makes this marsupial vulnerable to trauma, predation, shelter and food deprivation, and exacerbation of current parasitic and microbial diseases. In summary, this study further clarifies the relationship between humans, P. gunnii and parasite and the possible zoonotic potential that exists within Tasmania.

description: The absolute photoabsorption cross section of imidazole, and that of 1-methylimidazole, have been measured from threshold up to 10.8 eV using synchrotron radiation. For each molecule, the absorption spectrum exhibits several broad bands due to transitions into excited valence states and some sharp structure associated with Rydberg states. Assignments have been proposed for some of the observed absorption bands using calculated transition energies and oscillator strengths. Quantum defect analyses have also helped guide these assignments. Natural transition orbital plots indicate that many of the electronically excited states have a mixed Rydberg/valence character. This mixing leads to irregularities in both the transition energies and the relative intensities of the absorption bands ascribed to Rydberg states. The vibrational progressions belonging to some of the Rydberg states have been interpreted using simulations of the corresponding cation’s vibrational structure obtained within the Franck-Condon model employing harmonic frequencies and normal modes.

description: Mixing Mg with Ti leads to a hydride Mg(x)Ti(1-x)H2 with markedly improved (de)hydrogenation properties for x < 0.8, as compared to MgH2. Optically, thin films of Mg(x)Ti(1-x)H2 have a black appearance, which is remarkable for a hydride material. In this paper we study the structure and stability of Mg(x)Ti(1-x)H2, x= 0-1 by first-principles calculations at the level of density functional theory. We give evidence for a fluorite to rutile phase transition at a critical composition x(c)= 0.8-0.9, which correlates with the experimentally observed sharp decrease in (de)hydrogenation rates at this composition. The densities of states of Mg(x)Ti(1-x)H2 have a peak at the Fermi level, composed of Ti d states. Disorder in the positions of the Ti atoms easily destroys the metallic plasma, however, which suppresses the optical reflection. Interband transitions result in a featureless optical absorption over a large energy range, causing the black appearance of Mg(x)Ti(1-x)H2.

description: The forestry sector is constantly looking for ways for making data-driven decisions and improving efficiency. The application of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) allow the users to go beyond looking at simple key performance indicators. Benchmarking is one of the most common tools in business for improving efficiency and competitiveness. This study searched for benchmarking studies in Web of Science until December 2020. It reviewed 56 benchmarking studies in forestry and discusses the potential advantages of using benchmarking in forestry. More than 80% of the studies apply DEA. This review found that almost half of the benchmarking studies in forestry have attempted to estimate the efficiency of forest management organizations at regional scale, mostly being public or state-owned forest districts. A bit more than one-third of the studies have focused on benchmarking forest industries and one-fifth, benchmarking of forest operations. Forest management organizations mainly applied benchmarking for internal comparison and forest industries entirely focused on competitive benchmarking. Surprisingly, in most cases the studies do not necessarily overlap geographically with forest rich countries (e.g., Russian Federation or Brazil). A number of studies address multiple criteria. The future potential for applying automatic data transfer from harvest machines to interactive benchmarking systems are discussed. Finally, the paper discusses the advantages and weaknesses of benchmarking and future research on improving usefulness and usability of benchmarking in forest businesses.

description: This paper addresses the problem of efficiently storing and accessing massive data blocks in a large-scale distributed environment, while providing efficient fine-grain access to data subsets. This issue is crucial in the context of applications in the field of databases, data mining and multimedia. We propose a data sharing service based on distributed, RAM-based storage of data, while leveraging a DHT-based, natively parallel metadata management scheme. As opposed to the most commonly used grid storage infrastructures that provide mechanisms for explicit data localization and transfer, we provide a transparent access model, where data are accessed through global identifiers. Our proposal has been validated through a prototype implementation whose preliminary evaluation provides promising results.

description: In this Article, we extend our XANESNET deep neural network (DNN) to predict the lineshape of first-row transition metal K-edge valence-to-core X-ray emission (VtC-XES) spectra. We demonstrate that – despite the strong sensitivity of VtC-XES to the electronic structure of the system under study – the DNN can reproduce the main spectral features from only the local coordination geometry of the transition metal complexes when encoded as a feature vector of weighted atom-centred symmetry functions (wACSF). We subsequently implement and evaluate three methods for assessing uncertainty in the predictions made by the VtC-DNN: deep ensembles, Monte-Carlo dropout, and bootstrap resampling. We show that bootstrap resampling provides the best performance when evaluated on ‘held-out’ testing data, and also demonstrates a strong correlation between the uncertainty it predicts and the error occurring between the target and predicted VtC-XES spectra. Finally, we demonstrate practical performance by application to unseen transition metal complexes across the entire first-row (Ti–Zn).

With a lateral size of just a few hundred nanometers, and an emission intensity of ~200 W/cm^2 such light-wells may be employed in nanophotonic circuits as chip-scale sources, or in densely packed ensembles for optical memory and display applications.

Island women : an oral history, 1910-1960
Creators: name: Brennan, SN
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: In this thesis I explore the personal experiences and memories of a group of Furneaux Island women during the period 1910 to 1960. The most important sources I access are the voices of the women who agreed to provide oral evidence. I use their voices to tell a story within a broader island story. Where possible and appropriate, I have supplemented their oral testimony with documentary evidence. Part One provides an historical overview of the early arrival of women and the establishment of households in the islands as well as an analysis of the connections between family history and a sense of place. For many women island history is interwoven with family history. I argue that it is this fact, coupled with multiple island kinship ties, that has led to a powerful sense of identification with the islands - the site of the family narrative. In Part Two I use a chronological format to research the daily lives of island women at different life cycle stages. First, I explore the lives of daughters within the family home, and particularly their relationships with their mothers. This is followed by an examination of influences from outside the home upon girls, and I describe how young women move away from the family to set up their own households. In Part Three I change from a chronological approach to one that analyses, topically, the physical and emotional responsibilities of adult women within the home and the wider island community. It is from this examination of women's lives at different stages and in different settings that the primary concerns of the thesis - feelings of isolation and a sense of place - emerge. It is in the remembering of everyday life that the effects of isolation and a sense of place become most apparent.. On a broad level I argue that physical and emotional isolation have several results. These include, a close and mutual dependence among women within the family, the development of an extensive community social life and, ultimately, active efforts to overcome the potential for cultural isolation
A hierarchy of compatibility and comeasurability levels in quantum logics with unique conditional probabilities

description: In the quantum mechanical Hilbert space formalism, the probabilistic interpretation is a later ad-hoc add-on, more or less enforced by the experimental evidence, but not motivated by the mathematical model itself. A model involving a clear probabilistic interpretation from the very beginning is provided by the quantum logics with unique conditional probabilities. It includes the projection lattices in von Neumann algebras and here probability conditionalization becomes identical with the state transition of the Lueders - von Neumann measurement process. This motivates the definition of a hierarchy of five compatibility and comeasurability levels in the abstract setting of the quantum logics with unique conditional probabilities. Their meanings are: the absence of quantum interference or influence, the existence of a joint distribution, simultaneous measurability, and the independence of the final state after two successive measurements from the sequential order of these two measurements. A further level means that two elements of the quantum logic (events) belong to the same Boolean subalgebra. In the general case, the five compatibility and comeasurability levels appear to differ, but they all coincide in the common Hilbert space formalism of quantum mechanics, in von Neumann algebras, and in some other cases.

description: This computational study characterises charge-transfer-to-solvent (CTTS) states of aqueous thiocyanate anion using equation-of-motion coupled-cluster methods combined with electrostatic embedding quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) scheme. Equilibrium sampling was carried out using classical molecular dynamics (MD) with standard force-fields and QM/MM ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) using density functional theory. The two calculations yield significantly different local structure around solvated SCN−. Because of the diffuse character of CTTS states, they are very sensitive to the local structure of solvent around the solute and its dynamic fluctuations. Owing to this sensitivity, the spectra computed using MD and AIMD based snapshots differ considerably. This sensitivity suggests that the spectroscopy exploiting CTTS transitions can provide an experimental handle for assessing the quality of force-fields and density functionals. By combining CTTS-based spectroscopies with reliable theoretical modeling, detailed microscopic information of the solvent structure can be obtained. We present a robust computational protocol for modeling spectra of solvated anions and emphasise the use of an ab initio characterization of individual electronic transitions as CTTS or local excitations.
Long range outward migration of giant planets, with application to Fomalhaut b

description: Recent observations of exoplanets by direct imaging, reveal that giant planets orbit at a few dozens to more than a hundred of AU from their central star. The question of the origin of these planets challenges the standard theories of planet formation. We propose a new way of obtaining such far planets, by outward migration of a pair of planets formed in the 10 AU region. Two giant planets in mean motion resonance in a common gap in the protoplanetary disk migrate outwards, if the inner one is significantly more massive than the outer one. Using hydrodynamical simulations, we show that their semi major axes can increase by almost one order of magnitude. In a flared disk, the pair of planets should reach an asymptotic radius. This mechanism could account for the presence of Fomalhaut b ; then, a second, more massive planet, should be orbiting Fomalhaut at about 75 AU.

Bright shoots of everlastingness : children's fiction as secular scripture
Creators: name: Buckland, Corinne
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis examines adult interest in twentieth-century children's fiction within the context of adult culture and argues that it performs a religious function. A number of critical commentators have described the twentieth century as a period of cultural \failure\" largely because of the destructive aspects of postmodernism and the diminishing of values. Children's fiction however has remained relatively resistant to these trends. The values of religion were once expressed in literature (and thence in liberal humanism) but they have now been relegated to literature for children. This is because childhood especially its embodiment of innocence remains a \"sacred space\" in our culture (though even this is under threat). The myths of Eden and the neo-Platonic tradition are particularly relevant to children's literature and recur in the novels themselves in critical writing about them and in writing about childhood. The sacred notion of childhood taps into the backwards journey to an eternal pre-birth existence that Henry Vaughan yearns for in \"The Retreate\" and this poem is a focus for the whole discussion. The first half of the thesis explores children's literature as a form and as a genre. The implied reader in particular the notion of the dual address that speaks to children and adults simultaneously allows for a depth and significance similar to that of scripture and of parable in particular. It is especially significant that children's literature preserves the romance form that Northrop Frye has designated \"the secular scripture.\" The second part of the thesis focuses on the idealisation of experience that is such a strong characteristic of children's books. This is evident in the expression of wonder the sublime and beauty all aspects of the numinous and thus related to spiritual experience. Idealisation is also expressed in ideals of right conduct and moral goodness: the Good that Iris Murdoch calls \"the sovereign virtue.\" This discussion is indebted to Rudolf Otto's The Idea of the Holy and his insight that when the numinous is schematised within goodness it evokes an experience of the holy. Children's fiction is thus uniquely situated to successfully embody religious values and religious experience \"bright shoots of everlastingness\" and is very frequently a form of secular scripture."

description: Understanding the interaction of the carboxylic group with TiO2 is crucial for photocatalytic degradation of pollutants, because aromatic molecules containing carboxylic acid groups are among the most common micropollutants. This study investigated the interactions of the anatase TiO2 (101) surface with several aromatic carboxylic acids: benzoic, nicotinic, salicylic and anthranilic acid, using dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT) calculations. For all the molecules studied, we found higher stabilities of monodentate adsorbed configurations over bidentate. Dispersion was found to have a significant effect on adsorption energies. In particular, dispersion gave rise to a tilted monodentate adsorption configuration, where adsorption through interfacial covalent and hydrogen bonds was additionally stabilised by dispersion interactions of the aromatic ring with the surface. Comparative calculations using DFT with empirical dispersion correction and van der Waals-corrected functionals found the relative stabilities of adsorbed structures to be independent of the method of describing dispersion. Thermodynamic probabilities of different adsorption configurations were evaluated using the Boltzmann distribution, and the tilted dispersion-stabilised structures were predicted to be by far the most abundant. Finally, the optical absorption of TiO2-acid systems was modelled, and TiO2-aromatic acid complexes were found to have their optical absorption extended into the visible range.

Σκοπός της έρευνας είναι η μέτρηση της μέγιστης μυϊκής δύναμης των προσαγωγών και απαγωγών μυών του ισχίου μεταξύ των δεξιών και αριστερών άκρων σε τέσσερις γωνιακές ταχύτητες (30°/s, 60°/s, 120°/s, 180°/s) καθώς και η αναλογία μεταξύ των μυϊκών ομάδων που θα εξεταστούν. Συνολικά, 17 γυναίκες ποδοσφαιρίστριες συμμετείχαν στη μελέτη, που δοκιμάστηκαν σε ισοκινητικές σύγκεντρες συσπάσεις χρησιμοποιώντας το πρωτόκολλο μέτρησης. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι η μέγιστη ροπή είναι μεγαλύτερη σε χαμηλότερες γωνιακές ταχύτητες, με τις σημαντικότερες διαφορές να εμφανίζονται μεταξύ των επιπέδων 30/30 και 180/180. Η ανάλυση διακύμανσης έδειξε ότι οι προσαγωγοί μύες των αριστερών άκρων παρουσίασαν μεγαλύτερη δύναμη σε σχέση με τα δεξιά άκρα, ενώ τα δεξιά μεγαλύτερη στον απαγωγό. Οι δείκτες αναλογίας έδειξαν υψηλότερες τιμές στα δεξιά άκρα στις υψηλές ταχύτητες. Οι διαφορές που παρατηρήθηκαν είναι στατιστικά σημαντικές σε ορισμένες περιπτώσεις, υποδεικνύοντας πραγματικές διαφορές στη μυϊκή απόδοση και ισορροπία μεταξύ των δεξιών και αριστερών άκρων. Τα ευρήματα αυτά μπορούν να χρησιμοποιηθούν για την ανάπτυξη στοχευμένων προπονητικών προγραμμάτων και στρατηγικών πρόληψης τραυματισμών, ενισχύοντας τη μυϊκή δύναμη και την ισορροπία των ποδοσφαιριστριών.

description: This study focuses on the isokinetic evaluation of the hip adductor and abductor muscles in female soccer players. The purpose of the research is to measure the maximum muscle strength of the hip adductor and abductor muscles between the right and left limbs at four angular velocities (30°/s, 60°/s, 120°/s, 180°/s), as well as the ratio between the muscle groups to be examined. In total, 17 female soccer players participated in the study, tested in isokinetic concentric contractions using the measurement protocol. The results showed that maximum torque is greater at lower angular velocities, with the most significant differences appearing between the 30/30 and 180/180 levels. Variance analysis indicated that the adductor muscles of the left limbs demonstrated greater strength compared to the right limbs, while the abductors of the right limbs showed greater strength. The ratio indices showed higher values in the right limbs at high velocities. The observed differences are statistically significant in some cases, indicating real differences in muscle performance and balance between the right and left limbs. These findings can be used to develop targeted training programs and injury prevention strategies, enhancing the muscle strength and balance of female soccer players. The study underscores the need for further research, evaluating a larger sample.

description: We observe the slowly-rotating, active, single giant, EK Eri, to study and infer the nature of its magnetic field directly. We used the spectropolarimeter NARVAL at the Telescope Bernard Lyot, Pic du Midi Observatory, and the Least Square Deconvolution method to create high signal-to-noise ratio Stokes V profiles. We fitted the Stokes V profiles with a model of the large-scale magnetic field. We studied the classical activity indicators, the CaII H and K lines, the CaII infrared triplet, and Hαline. We detected the Stokes V signal of EK Eri securely and measured the longitudinal magnetic field Bl for seven individual dates spanning 60% of the rotational period. The measured longitudinal magnetic field of EK Eri reached about 100 G and was as strong as fields observed in RSCVn or FK Com type stars: this was found to be extraordinary when compared with the weak fields observed at the surfaces of slowly-rotating MS stars or any single red giant previously observed with NARVAL. From our modeling, we infer that the mean surface magnetic field is about 270 G, and that the large scale magnetic field is dominated by a poloidal component. This is compatible with expectations for the descendant of a strongly magnetic Ap star.

Effects of photoperiod manipulation (24L:0D) on somatic growth and endocrine responses in juvenile Barramundi (Lates Calcarifer)(Bloch)

description: Photoperiod manipulation is a widely used technique in commercial aquaculture to influence endogenous rhythms in fish, which enables industry to control events such as reproductive timing, maturation and growth. The ability to use photoperiod manipulation to influence these events has benefited commercial industry by improving production of fish, thereby generating increased economic benefits. The majority of photoperiod manipulation research has being applied to temperate species, whereas recently these techniques have also been successful in sub-tropical and tropical species. Photoperiod manipulation research on barramundi has demonstrated conflicting results, and clarification is required as to whether using extended day length is effective in enhancing growth of juvenile barramundi. This thesis confirms photoperiod manipulation to be effective at enhancing growth of juvenile barramundi. In the majority of experiments, continuous light (24L:0D) significantly increased wet weight, total length and SGR weight and length of juvenile barramundi when compared to rearing fish under 12L:12D. In addition, growth increases observed in fish reared under 24L:0D occurred without significant increases in feed intake, demonstrating higher feed conversion efficiencies compared to fish reared under 12L:12D. As the Australian barramundi industry currently only uses photoperiod manipulation to manipulate spawning events, this research enables commercial farmers to use this technique to improve growth as well. To confirm photoperiod manipulation techniques were applicable and effective in commercial conditions, a commercial scale experiment was undertaken, with juvenile barramundi demonstrating significant increases in growth when reared under 24L:0D supplied by artificial lighting.

description: The near threshold production of K+K- pairs in proton-proton collisions has been investigated at the cooler synchrotron COSY below and above the threshold for the ϕmeson production. The experimental excitation function determined for the pp-->ppK+K- reaction differs from theoretical expectations including proton-proton final state interaction. The discrepancy may be assigned to the influence of K+K- or pK interaction. In this article we present distributions of the cross section for the pp-->ppK+K- reaction as a function of the invariant masses of two and three particle subsystems at excess energies of Q=10 MeV and 28 MeV.

description: Infrared (IR) light is considered important for short-range wireless communication, thermal sensing, spectroscopy, material processing, medical surgery, astronomy etc. However, IR light is in general much harder to transport than optical light or microwave radiation. Existing hollow-core IR waveguides usually use a layer of metallic coating on the inner wall of the waveguide. Such a metallic layer, though reflective, still absorbs guided light significantly due to its finite Ohmic loss, especially for transverse-magnetic (TM) light. In this paper, we show that metal-wire based metamaterials may serve as an efficient TM reflector, reducing propagation loss of the TM mode by two orders of magnitude. By further imposing a conventional metal cladding layer, which reflects specifically transverse-electric (TE) light, we can potentially obtain a low-loss hollow-core fiber. Simulations confirm that loss values for several low-order modes are comparable to the best results reported so far.

description: Monolayers of free base phthalocyanine (H2Pc) are grown on monolayer and few-layer exfoliated flakes of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) which are subsequently integrated into a van der Waals tunnel diode. This heterostructure consists of two thin hBN flakes between which the H2Pc monolayer is sandwiched and also incorporates upper and lower few-layer graphene contacts. When a voltage is applied between the contacts, a tunnel current flows and the embedded molecules can be excited resulting in the emission of photons with wavelengths which are close to the peaks observed in photoluminescence. We also observe electroluminescence at voltages where the energy gained by a tunnelling electron is lower than the energy of the emitted photon implying a multi-electron excitation pathway which we attribute to the formation of an intermediate triplet state. Our results provide insights into the differences in excitation and relaxation of molecules in supramolecular monolayers and bulk crystals and we discuss how the alignment of the energy levels of the molecules and contact layers determine the emission process.

description: The increasing share of power electronics in the conversion and distribution of electrical energy represents a novel challenge for energy quality and supply stability. It is to be expected that high-frequency current harmonics will increase significantly with the number of grid-connected power converters. To reduce the associated disadvantages, this paper presents a 25-Level Cascaded H-Bridge Active Filter for mitigating converter-induced current harmonics in the kilohertz range.~Compared to conventional active filters, the proposed use of a voltage-source active filter does not require high control bandwidth, tuning to specific frequencies or measurement and tracking of high frequency currents.~The highly integrated design on printed circuit boards allows a high number of voltage levels and a high power density at small additional effort and costs. A 12 kVA-demonstrator is used to mitigate the switching frequency current harmonics of a grid-connected two-level converter, verifying the effectiveness of the active filter configuration.

description: The question of whether quantum phenomena can be explained by classical models with hidden variables is the subject of a long lasting debate. In 1964, Bell showed that certain types of classical models cannot explain the quantum mechanical predictions for specific states of distant particles. Along this line, some types of hidden variable models have been experimentally ruled out. An intuitive feature for classical models is non-contextuality: the property that any measurement has a value which is independent of other compatible measurements being carried out at the same time. However, the results of Kochen, Specker, and Bell show that non-contextuality is in conflict with quantum mechanics. The conflict resides in the structure of the theory and is independent of the properties of special states. It has been debated whether the Kochen-Specker theorem could be experimentally tested at all. Only recently, first tests of quantum contextuality have been proposed and undertaken with photons and neutrons. Yet these tests required the generation of special quantum states and left various loopholes open. Here, using trapped ions, we experimentally demonstrate a state-independent conflict with non-contextuality. The experiment is not subject to the detection loophole and we show that, despite imperfections and possible measurement disturbances, our results cannot be explained in non-contextual terms.

description: A photoacoustic cell intended for laser detection of trace gases is represented. The cell is adapted so as to enhance the gas-detection performance and, simultaneously, to reduce the cell size. The cell design provides an efficient cancellation of the window background (a parasite response due to absorption of laser beam in the cell windows) and acoustic isolation from the environment for an acoustic resonance of the cell. The useful photoacoustic response from a detected gas, window background and noise are analyzed in demonstration experiments as functions of the modulation frequency for a prototype cell with the internal volume ~ 0.5 cm^3. The minimal detectable absorption for the prototype is estimated to be ~ 1.2 10^{-8} cm^{-1} W Hz^{-1/2}.

description: Am 10.Ferbuar 2019 wurde in der Schweiz per Volksabstimmung über die Zersiedelungsinitiative entschieden. Dem Voraus ging ein intensiver Abstimmungskampf welcher die Frage wie wir mit der endlichen Ressource Boden umgehen wollen, zum breit diskutierten Thema machte. Obwohl man sich einig darüber war, dass das aktuelle Vorgehen zur Schaffung von neuem Wohn- und Arbeitsraum und der damit verbundene Verbrauch an freien Flächen d.h. an natürlichen bzw. unbebauten Landschaftsräumen, längerfristig nicht aufgehen wird, wurde die Initiative abgelehnt. Die vorgeschlagenen Maßnahmen konnten die Bevölkerung nicht überzeugen. Die Arbeit untersucht anhand einer beispielhaften Gemeinde, wie eine architektonische Reaktion unter diesen Gesichtspunkten aussehen könnte.
