description: Dynamical seasonal forecasts of tropical storm frequency require robust and efficient algorithms for detection and tracking of tropical storms in Atmospheric General Circulation Models (AGCMs). Tropical storms are generally detected when dynamic and thermodynamic variables meet specified criteria. Here, objectively defined model and basin-dependent detection criteria improve simulations of tropical storm climatology and interannual variability in low-resolution AGCMs. An improved tracking method provides more realistic tracking and accurate counting of storms.

description: Der Artikel thematisiert die Ergebnisse einer Onlinebefragung zu Einflussfaktoren auf die positive und negative Wahrnehmung von Stadtnutzern in der Bewegung durch öffentlich zugängliche Räume. Der Fokus liegt auf der Frage, welche städtebaulichen Strukturen wie Parks, Plätze, Straßen und Wege als stressverursachend oder entspannend wahrgenommen werden. Die Untersuchung zielt darauf ab, problematische Räume zu identifizieren und relevante stadträumliche Aspekte in Eigenschaftsprofilen zu kategorisieren. Zusätzlich soll die Nutzung öffentlicher Räume in unterschiedlichen Nutzungskontexten erfasst werden. Der Artikel stellt Methode und Ergebnisse einer Umfrage vor, an der 134 Studierende der TU Darmstadt teilgenommen haben. Eigenschaften wie hohe Lärmemission, hohes Verkehrsaufkommen und fehlende Vegetation konnten als stressverursachend in den wahrgenommenen Räumen identifiziert werden. Belebtheit und Anzahl der Sitzgelegenheiten weisen auf keinen Zusammenhang mit Entspannung oder Stressverursachung hin. Eigenschaften wie Weite, Helligkeit, Sicherheit und baulicher Zustand konnten ebenfalls weder der negativen noch der positiven Stressverarbeitung zugeordnet werden. Die Nutzungskontexte Arbeit und Freizeit zeigen einen Zusammenhang zum Stress- oder Entspannungsempfinden und müssen berücksichtigt werden. Die Ergebnisse bestätigen Erfahrungen aus der gesichteten Fachliteratur. Sie bieten darüber hinaus eine Grundlage, um problematische Räume durch ihre Kennzeichen zu identifizieren. In weiteren Untersuchungen könnten psychophysiologische Messungen zur objektiven Bewertung solcher Faktoren genutzt werden.
The Franklin-Montagu dispute

description: Almost a century ago, Lord Stanley, the Secretary of State for the Colonies wrote these words at the close of a despatch -- Despatch 150, written on the 13th September, 1842, to Sir John Franklin, in Van Dieman's Land.- \The result of my consideration of the whole subject is to relieve Mr Montagu from every censure which impugns the integrity or the propriety of his conduct. It cannot be too distinctly understood that Mr Montagu retires from the situation he has so long filled with his personal and public character unimpaired and with his hold on the respect and confidence of her Majesty's Government undiminished. --- I am compelled to add that your proceedings in this case of Mr Montagu do not appear to me to have been well-judged and that your suspension of him from office is not in my opinion sufficiently indicated.\" His Lordship's Despatch served the double purpose of snubbing Franklin and of justifying Montagu. Now the cycle of time has swung around and history would reverse Lord Stanley's ill-considered judgement. The dispute between Franklin and Montagu dramatic bitter and futile in itself yet holds up a mirror in which are reflected the lives the struggles and the problems of those who lived in an age of transition -- an age in which free settlers were beginning to out-number convicts when Van Dieman's Land was about to become Tasmania. The chief figures in the dispute were Sir John Franklin the Lieutenant Governor of Van Dieman's Land his spirited wife Lady Franklin Captain John Montagu Colonial Secretary and away in the cloudy pompous atmosphere of Downing Street Lord Stanley the Secretary of State for the Colonies."

An unusual feature of this proposal is that the scattering of A and B particles is reflectionless. We consider here an alternative S-matrix, for which A-B scattering is not reflectionless. We argue that this S-matrix does not lead to the Bethe ansatz equations which are consistent with perturbative computations.

Abstract

(taken from the article)

Diagnostic delay for TB infected individuals and the lack of TB vaccines for adults are the main challenges to achieve the goals of WHO by 2050. In order to evaluate the impacts of diagnostic delay and vaccination for adults on prevalence of TB, we propose an age-structured model with latent age and infection age, and we incorporate Mycobacterium TB in the environment and vaccination into the model. Diagnostic delay is indicated by the age of infection before receiving treatment. The threshold dynamics are established in terms of the basic reproduction number R0. When R0 < 1, the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable, which means that TB epidemic will die out; When R0 = 1, the disease-free equilibrium is globally attractive; there exists a unique endemic equilibrium and the endemic equilibrium is globally attractive when R0 > 1. We estimate that the basic reproduction number R0 = 0.5320 (95%CI : (0.3060, 0.7556)) in Jiangsu Province, which means that TB epidemic will die out. However, we find that the annual number of new TB cases by 2050 is 1,151 (95%CI: (138, 8,014)), which means that it is challenging to achieve the goal of WHO by 2050. To this end, we evaluate the possibility of achieving the goals of WHO if we start vaccinating adults and reduce diagnostic delay in 2025. Our results demonstrate that when the diagnostic delay is reduced from longer than four months to four months, or 20% adults are vaccinated, the goal of WHO in 2050 can be achieved, and 73,137 (95%CI: (23906, 234,086)) and 54,828 (95%CI: (15,811, 206,468)) individuals will be prevented from being infected from 2025 to 2050, respectively. The modeling approaches and simulation results used in this work can help policymakers design control measures to reduce the prevalence of TB.

description: Of the known halides of chromium, molybdenum and tungsten only about one-third have been studied by X-ray structural techniques (see Table 1). The structures reported for these halides can be divided into three categories. 1. The two or three-dimensional lattice type is the most common. The lattice usually contains MX6 octahedra (M = Cr, Mo, W I X = halogen), the overall packing of which gives the appropriate polymeric form of the halide. Examples of this type are the di- and tri-halides of chromium. 2, Molecular crystals are formed by some halides. Amongst known structures this is confined at present to the hexahalides, e.g., WC16. 3. Polynuclear complexes may be formed by some of the halides, e.g. dimeric molybdenum pentachloride (MO2C110).

What is different in 2006, and what external forces are stronger now than at the start of our last plan in 2003? What exciting opportunities and interesting challenges do we face? Our primary goal continues to be to support the research and teaching mission of the university by developing, preserving and making accessible the scholarly resources that the Libraries has been collecting since the early nineteenth century. There are some key university drivers for change: these include a new focus on physical expansion (Manhattanville and Morningside) and an emphasis on Columbia's relationship to the City of New York, plus a renewed commitment to Columbia's international strengths, with a programmatic focus on globalization. The university also has a new Information Technology organization that is still defining its agenda. The libraries now form part of a separate, reconceived Information Services organization that includes the Columbia Center for New Media Teaching and Learning (CCNMTL), Digital Knowledge Ventures (DKV), the Electronic Publishing Initiative at Columbia (EPIC), and a newly created Copyright Advisory Office.
Photodesorption of water ice: a molecular dynamics study

description: Absorption of ultraviolet radiation by water ice coating interstellar grains can lead to dissociation and desorption of the ice molecules. These processes are thought to be important in the gas-grain chemistry in molecular clouds and protoplanetary disks, but very few quantitative studies exist. We compute the photodesorption efficiencies of amorphous water ice and elucidate the mechanisms by which desorption occurs. Classical molecular dynamics calculations were performed for a compact amorphous ice surface at 10 K thought to be representative of interstellar ice. Dissociation and desorption of H2O molecules in the top six monolayers are considered following absorption into the first excited electronic state with photons in the 1300-1500 Angstrom range. The trajectories of the H and OH photofragments are followed until they escape or become trapped in the ice. The probability for H2O desorption per absorbed UV photon is 0.5-1% in the top three monolayers, then decreases to 0.03% in the next two monolayers, and is negligible deeper into the ice. The main H2O removal mechanism in the top two monolayers is through separate desorption of H and OH fragments. Removal of H2O molecules from the ice, either as H2O itself or its products, has a total probability of 2-3% per absorbed UV photon in the top two monolayers. In the third monolayer the probability is about 1% and deeper into the ice the probability of photodesorption falling to insignificant numbers. The probability of any removal of H2O per incident photon is estimated to be 3.7x10^-4, with the probability for photodesorption of intact H2O molecules being 1.4x10^-4 per incident photon. When no desorption occurs, the H and OH products can travel up to 70 and 60 Angstroms inside or on top of the surface during which they can react with other species.

Orderable topological spaces
Creators: name: Galik, Frank John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Let (X , ਹ) be a topological space. If < is a total ordering on X , then (X , ਹ, <) is said to be an ordered topological space if a subbasis for ਹ is the collection of all sets of the form {x ∊ x | x < t} or [x ∊ x | t < x} where t ∊ X . The pair (X , ਹ) is said to be an orderable topological space if there exists a total ordering, < , on X such that (X , ਹ, <) is an ordered topological space. Definition: Let T be a subspace of the real line ǀR . Let Q be the union of all non-trivial components of T , both of whose end points belong to C1ıʀ(C1ıʀ(T) -T). The following characterization of orderable sub-spaces of ǀR is due to M. E. Rudin. Theorem: Let T be a subspace of ǀR with the relativized usual topology. Then T is orderable if and only if T satisfies the following two conditions: (1) If T - Q is compact and (T-Q) ก Clıʀ(Q) = Ø then either Q = Ø or T - Q = Ø (2) If I is an open interval of ıʀ and p is an end point of I and if {p} U(I ก(T-Q)) is compact and {p} =Clıʀ(IกQ)ก C1ıʀ(I ก(T-Q)), then p ∉ T or {p} is a component of T. This theorem enables us to prove a conjecture of I.L. Lynn, namely Corollary: if T contains no open compact sets then T is totally orderable. If T is a subspace of an arbitrary ordered topological space a generalization of the theorem can be made. The generalized theorem is stated and some examples are given.
Alkaloids of monimiaceous plants
Creators: name: Douglas, Gordon Keith
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Alkaloid-bearing plants of the Australian Monimiaceae have generally yielded alkaloids of the bisbenzylisoquinoline type. For this reason a brief outline of the chemistry of this class of compound will be presented; a more detailed account may be found in a complete and thorough review by Grundon 1. The bisbenzylisoquinoline molecule consists of two benzylisoquinoline moieties linked by one, two or three oxygen atoms; these ether bridges are believed to arise by intermolecular dehydrogenation of two molecules of 1-(4-hydroxybenzy1)-6,7-dehydroxy-1,2,3, 4-tetrahydroisoquinoline in which the new C-0 bond is formed by phenolic coupling at nuclear positions ortho to hydroxyl groups. The route which the dehydrogenation follows leads to the classification of bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids into several different classes.

description: In type 2 diabetes (T2D), several differences have been described between men and women, concerning risk factors, clinical manifestations and chronic complications. The impact of gender on the efficacy and safety of hypoglycaemic drugs is still to be clarified. Some data suggest that GLP1-RAs may have greater efficacy on body weight in women, but comparable efficacy on glycaemic control and cardiovascular risk (CVD) in both sexes. The aim of our study was to evaluate in real-life clinical practice the possible influence of gender on the effectiveness and safety of GLP1-RAs long-acting therapy in T2D outpatients. In this single-centre observational study, we evaluated laboratory parameters, chronic complications, hypoglycaemic episodes, and any adverse events of subjects with T2D who started treatment with GLP1-RAs long-acting between  1 June 2018 and 31 May 2019, in add on to metformin or other hypoglycaemic drugs, and who practiced this therapy for at least two years. In the present analysis, 391 subjects with T2D were included (men 59.3%, women 40.7%), with a mean age of 64.1 years and mean duration of diabetes of 18.4 years. At baseline, patients were on average obese (BMI 32.8 kg/m2) with an inadequate glycaemic control (HbA1c 7.8%). Women had higher BMI values than men; glycaemic control was similar in both genders. After two years of follow-up, therapy with GLP1-RAs long-acting determined a significant reduction of BMI and blood pressure values, HbA1c, fasting glucose and GPT levels and an improvement in lipid profile. The reduction observed in BMI values was significantly greater in T2D women than in men. At stepwise regression analysis, female gender was among the independent predictors of the effectiveness of GLP1-RAs in terms of BMI reduction, together with fasting blood glucose, but not in terms of reduction of HbA1c levels, which was significantly associated with baseline blood glucose levels and metformin use, irrespective of gender. Overall, the treatment with GLP1-RAs was well tolerated, and only mild gastro-intestinal adverse events were observed (n=22; 5.6%, 14 men and 12 women P0.05), in both genders. In conclusion, in real-life clinical practice, the therapy with GLP1-RAs long-acting is safe and effective in both men and women, and it seems to be associated with a more beneficial effect on body weight in women than in men.

Demand for emergency manpower for an urban transit authority
Creators: name: Gregg, GG
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The Metropolitan Transport Trust (M.T.T.) provides the majority of urban commuter public transport services for the city of Hobart and suburbs. Except for one small private bus operator who services the southern suburbs of Kingston, Blackmans Bay and Maranoa Heights, the M.T.T. has sole responsibility for the provision of regular route bus transport within a 22 kilometre circular boundary of the Hobart central city post office. The M.T.T. is a State owned and operated public transport system and is funded from fares revenue and general State tax receipts. In 1983/84 fares collected on M.T.T. services represented 33% of the contribution required to cover operating expenditure. Unlike other Australian capital cities, Hobart has no urban rail passenger network or significant commuter ferry service. Rail passenger services were disbanded on the 31 December 1974, due to falling demand and rising costs. No doubt, other State Governments would like to disband their inefficient and expensive urban rail passenger systems, but they are locked into supporting the continuation of their networks because of high infrastructure costs of transferring rail passengers to road. Hobart was able to effect the change in 1974 due to the small size of the rail network and the fact that Hobart had no vehicle congestion and no inner city parking problems at that time. The geography of the city is ideally suited to flexible route transport especially the motor car. Hobart is second only to Brisbane in car ownership per head of population. The private motor vehicle is the major source of transport for travel to and from work. As few as one in six commuters use public transport daily. Hobart has no viable commuter ferry services even though the city is built on either side of the River Derwent. An extensive ferry network was not established in the past because of the sparse development on the eastern shore of the river, and the fact that the rail network followed the river bank on the western shore. A small commuter ferry plies the river four times daily between the city and Kangaroo Bay, to provide a service for people living on Bellerive Bluff. The M.T.T. has grown steadily since its establishment in 1955. This growth is due to outward growth of the city and to the failure of many of the private operators who have abandoned the market as and when their capital stock became obsolete. Most of these private operators turned to the more lucrative tourist charter work, leaving the M.T.T. to take up abandoned licences. Only recently has the Government embarked on a policy of direct subsidy of private operators to continue to provide urban route passenger bus services.

description: We present a general solution of third order Lovelock gravity in the presence of a specific type II perfect fluid. This solution for linear equation of state, $p=w(ρ-4B)$ contains all the known solutions of third order Lovelock gravity in the literature and some new static and radiating solutions for different values of $w$ and $B$. Specially, we consider the properties of static and radiating solutions for $w=0$ and $w=(n-2)^{-1}$ with B=0 and $B\neq0$. These solutions are asymptotically flat for B=0, while they are asymptotically (anti)-de Sitter for $B\neq0$. The new static solutions for these choices of $B$ and $w$ present black holes with one or two horizons, extreme black holes or naked singularities provided the parameters of the solutions are chosen suitable. The static solution with $w=0$ and vanishing geometrical mass ($m=0$) may present a black hole with two inner and outer horizons. This is a peculiar feature of the third order Lovelock gravity, which does not occur in lower order Lovelock gravity. We also, investigate the properties of radiating solutions for these values of $B$ and $w$, and compare the singularity strengths of them with the known radiating solutions of third order Lovelock gravity.

description: We present an apparatus optimized for tracking swimming microorganisms in the size range 10-1000 microns, in three dimensions (3D), far from surfaces, and with negligible background convective fluid motion. CCD cameras attached to two long working distance microscopes synchronously image the sample from two perpendicular directions, with narrowband dark-field or bright-field illumination chosen to avoid triggering a phototactic response. The images from the two cameras can be combined to yield 3D tracks of the organism. Using additional, highly directional broad-spectrum illumination with millisecond timing control the phototactic trajectories in 3D of organisms ranging from Chlamydomonas to Volvox can be studied in detail. Surface-mediated hydrodynamic interactions can also be investigated without convective interference. Minimal modifications to the apparatus allow for studies of chemotaxis and other taxes.

Evolution of the Color-Magnitude Relation in Galaxy Clusters at z ~1 from the ACS Intermediate Redshift Cluster Survey

description: We apply detailed observations of the Color-Magnitude Relation (CMR) with the ACS/HST to study galaxy evolution in eight clusters at z~1. The early-type red sequence is well defined and elliptical and lenticular galaxies lie on similar CMRs. We analyze CMR parameters as a function of redshift, galaxy properties and cluster mass. For bright galaxies (M_B < -21mag), the CMR scatter of the elliptical population in cluster cores is smaller than that of the S0 population, although the two become similar at faint magnitudes. While the bright S0 population consistently shows larger scatter than the ellipticals, the scatter of the latter increases in the peripheral cluster regions. If we interpret these results as due to age differences, bright elliptical galaxies in cluster cores are on average older than S0 galaxies and peripheral elliptical galaxies (by about 0.5Gyr). CMR zero point, slope, and scatter in the (U-B)_z=0 rest-frame show no significant evolution out to redshift z~1.3 nor significant dependence on cluster mass. Two of our clusters display CMR zero points that are redder (by ~2sigma) than the average (U-B)_z=0 of our sample. We also analyze the fraction of morphological early-type and late-type galaxies on the red sequence. We find that, while in the majority of the clusters most (80% to 90%) of the CMR population is composed of early-type galaxies, in the highest redshift, low mass cluster of our sample, the CMR late-type/early-type fractions are similar (~50%), with most of the late-type population composed of galaxies classified as S0/a. This trend is not correlated with the cluster's X-ray luminosity, nor with its velocity dispersion, and could be a real evolution with redshift.

The community college concept in Tasmania : a case study
Creators: name: Frost, Michael J.
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The study is an historically‚ÄövÑvÆbased account of the development of Alanvale Community College, Launceston, Tasmania. The decade from 1975 until the present represented a time of significant change for Tasmanian education, as new policies for post‚ÄövÑvÆ compulsory education were shaped. At the heart of this development was the concept of the community college. Alanvale Community College was to have been a prototype in this development. Planned initially as a Matriculation College for the Northern suburbs of Launceston, it incorporated into its early planning the notion of a broad‚ÄövÑvÆbased educational initiative catering for graduating High School students, local community interest groups and technical college students. Its development was supported by a number of major educational inquiries, and endorsed politically by the State Government of the time. Despite the broad approval and support for the community college concept, it was abandoned after a relatively short period of time. The collapse of the initiative represents something unusual for Tasmanian education, which has tended to be characterized by educational innovation and successful policy implementation. Alanvale Community College was used as a case‚ÄövÑvÆstudy to provide a descriptive and interpretive account of the forces that shaped the attempt to implement policy for the new colleges. It also provides historical evidence of the problems that were encountered in the attempt to develop these colleges. In particular, the kinds of conflict of interest that are associated with organizational mergers are traced and identified. The study represents an attempt to provide a realworld instance of serious intra-organizational dysfunction. Its interpretive direction allows the delimitation of contributing causes to the abandonment of both Alanvale Community College and the policy initiative itself.

description: The VITAL Early Childhood Mathematics Education Project final report summarizes a five-year endeavor funded by the National Science Foundation to support the development of and research on Video Interactions for Teaching and Learning (VITAL), a web-based platform for the dissemination of courses on early childhood mathematics education and tools for video analysis. Developed by the Columbia Center for New Media Teaching and Learning (CCNMTL) and Jacob H. Schiff Foundations Professor of Psychology and Education Herbert P. Ginsburg of Teachers College, VITAL helps education students learn more about the teaching and assessment of children by viewing, clipping, and annotating videos of children engaged in mathematical activities, and using their selected clips as evidence to support arguments in a multimedia essay space, thereby encouraging the development of formative assessment skills and better-informed practice as teachers. The VITAL report details the products created throughout the grant period, including the open-source VITAL software—tools for viewing and editing videos and a multimedia essay space—the VITAL early childhood mathematics curriculum, video library, model courses for use at other institutions, faculty guide, and numerous publications, as well as results of research performed by the VITAL assessment team.

On the stability of static ghost cosmologies
Creators: name: Barrow, John D
name: Tsagas, Christos G
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider the classical linear stability of a static universe filled with a non-interacting mixture of isotropic radiation and a ghost scalar field. Unlike the conventional Einstein static model, this cosmology is stable against homogeneous and isotropic perturbations. This is shown by means of exact oscillatory solutions about the original static state. We also examine the linear response of the static ghost universe to all types of inhomogeneous fluctuations, namely density, vorticity and gravitational-wave perturbations. The results show that the static background constrains the linear evolution of these distortions, to the extent that density perturbations remain time invariant, vortical distortions vanish and gravitational waves oscillate with constant amplitude. We discuss the potential implications of these results for past-eternal initial states in classical general relativistic cosmology.

Testing for and selecting strong players in a tournament
Creators: name: Humphries, Dick
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In this thesis we derive some testing and selection procedures for a tournament involving a set of n players that has two complimentary subsets of players, each consisting of approximately equally matched players. The background to this work is found in the work of Narayana and Zidek who, in Contributions to the theory of tournaments, II [8] considered the case involving one strong player with n-1 equally matched, weaker opponents. Their results are extended in this paper to include the possibility of k, 1 ≤ k ≤n, strong players. Moreover, we supply results which prove several of the unproved assertions in [8]. It becomes apparent that, the larger k is, the more restrictive the design must be and, also, the more inadequate the selection procedure is. Although no numerical and computational work has been done, asymptotic results have been obtained which are easily adapted for such purposes.
Flavor constraints on two-Higgs-doublet models with general diagonal Yukawa couplings

description: We consider constraints from flavor physics on two-Higgs-doublet models (2HDM) with general, flavor-diagonal, Yukawa couplings. Analyzing the charged Higgs contribution to different observables, we find that $b\to sγ$ transitions and $ΔM_{B_d}$ restrict the coupling $λ_{tt}$ of the top quark (corresponding to $\cotβ$ in models with a $Z_2$ symmetry) to $|λ_{tt}|<1$ for $m_{H^+}\lesssim 500$ GeV. Stringent constraints from $B$ meson decays are obtained also on the other third generation couplings $λ_{bb}$ and $λ_{ττ}$, but with stronger dependence on $m_{H^+}$. For the second generation, we obtain constraints on combinations of $λ_{ss}$, $λ_{cc}$, and $λ_{μμ}$ from leptonic $K$ and $D_s$ decays. The limits on the general couplings are translated to the common 2HDM types I -- IV with a $Z_2$ symmetry, and presented on the $(m_{H^+},\tanβ)$ plane. The flavor constraints are most excluding in the type II model which lacks a decoupling limit in $\tanβ$. We obtain a lower limit $m_{H^+}\gtrsim 300$ GeV in models of type II and III, while no lower bound on $m_{H^+}$ is found for types I and IV.
