Children's knowledge of vulnerability and resilience to bushfires
Creators: name: Towers, BC
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Following the Black Saturday bushfire disaster in 2009, the Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission strongly recommended that bushfire education be incorporated in the national school curriculum. This recommendation, and its adoption by state governments around Australia, represents a unique opportunity to address the long neglected area of bushfire education for children. However, an extensive literature argues that the success of any hazards education program depends on the degree to which it accommodates the existing knowledge and perspectives of the learner. Yet, to date, there has been no research on children's knowledge of bushfire hazards and disasters or the actions that can be taken to mitigate or prevent their impacts. To address this research gap, this thesis presents a detailed analysis and theoretical rendering of children's knowledge of bushfire hazards in south-eastern Australia, as studied from children's own perspectives. A constructivist grounded theory methodology and childcentred qualitative research techniques, such as focus groups, drawing and puppet play, were employed to examine children's knowledge of the conditions and processes that cause bushfire hazards and disasters and the conditions and processes that mitigate or prevent them. The role of environmental and socio-cultural context in the development of children's hazards knowledge was also examined in-depth. The analyses of children's knowledge and perspectives culminated in the development of a substantive grounded theory titled Seeking Adaptation. The theory is comprised of three major components: the problem of perceiving vulnerability; the process of building resilience; and a set of contextual and modifying conditions which include direct experience with fire, the school, the family, and the research process itself. The theory of Seeking Adaptation identifies children as active participants in bushfire management who have the potential to make substantial contributions to household and community resilience. However, capitalising on this potential will require education programs that accommodate their perspectives and provide ample opportunities for genuine and purposeful engagement with the physical and social world.

The role of friendship in our development as human beings
Creators: name: Treanor, DP
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The development of community living programs for people with intellectual disabilities in western nations is now both policy rhetoric and a feature of the service system landscape. This change in policy and practice has helped change - the lives of people with intellectual disabilities and has honoured claims for everyone to be treated as equal citizens with the same rights. This thesis develops the argument that although individuals may differ in both their chronological age and cognitive abilities, they can form and maintain meaningful friendships of different types, which incorporate diversity and in which the parties involved remain distinct individuals, though unified through their shared emotional life. To defend this claim it will be necessary to refute the claims of those utilitarian thinkers who would deny full human status to people with intellectual disabilities. Furthermore, it is argued there is validity to prioritising a relational view to personhood. The method adopted is broadly phenomenological by using analysis of actual personal narratives in order to take account of the historical and existential factors that operate in the development of friendships. Aristotle's theory that humans are social by nature, and that friendship is essential to human life is developed and applied in order to demonstrate that the interdependence of individuals and the enrichment that follows from human encounters enables us to realize our potential as human beings. This argument not only provides an ethical justification for people with intellectual disabilities to be treated as equal citizens and as having the same rights as other people, but it also provides us with a vision of human society and of our personal identity that can be realised and integrated through the experience of living and interacting together.

description: The next-generation of all-solid-state lithium batteries need ceramic electrolytes with very high ionic conductivities. At the same time a negligible electronic conductivity σeon is required to eliminate self-discharge in such systems. A non-negligible electronic conductivity may also promote the unintentional formation of Li dendrites, being currently one of the key issues hindering the development of long-lasting all-solid-state batteries. This interplay is suggested recently for garnet-type Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO). It is, however, well known that the overall macroscopic electronic conductivity may be governed by a range of extrinsic factors such as impurities, chemical inhomogeneities, grain boundaries, morphology, and size effects. Here, advantage of Czochralski-grown single crystals, which offer the unique opportunity to evaluate intrinsic properties of a chemically homogeneous matrix, is taken to measure the electronic conductivity σeon. Via long-time, high-precision potentiostatic polarization experiments an upper limit of σeon in the order of 5 × 10−10 S cm−1 (293 K) is estimated. This value is by six orders of magnitude lower than the corresponding total conductivity σtotal = 10−3 S cm−1 of Ga-LLZO. Thus, it is concluded that the high values of σeon recently reported for similar systems do not necessarily mirror intragrain bulk properties of chemically homogenous systems but may originate from chemically inhomogeneous interfacial areas. © 2020 The Authors.

Finite mixtures of distributions with common central moments
Creators: name: Rennie, Robert Richard
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Let ℱ = {F} be a family of n-variate cumulative distribution functions (c.d.f.'s). If F₁...,F(k) belong to ℱ and P₁,...,P(k) are positive numbers that sum to 1, then the convex combination M(x₁ ,. . . , x(n)) = [formula omitted](x₁,...,x(n)) is called a finite mixture generated by ℱ. The F₁,…,F(k) are called the components of the mixture and the P₁,…,P(k) are called their weights, respectively. The mixture M(x₁,...,x(n)) is said to be identifiable with respect to ℱ if no other convex combination of a finite number of c.d.f.'s from ℱ will generate M(x₁,...,x(n)). We establish the identiflability of mixtures consisting of at most k components when the components belong to a family of univariate c.d.f.'s that have the following properties: (a) no two c.d.f.'s have the same mean; (b) each c.d.f. has the same r(th) central moment for r = 1,...,2k-1; and (c) the first 2k-1 central moments are finite. If the mixture and the 2k-1 central moments are known, a solution for the weights and means of the components is given. If a random sample is taken from the mixture, then asymptotically normal estimates of the weights and means are given, providing the 2k-1 central moments are known. Matrix mixtures are introduced and are found to be of use in estimating the density functions and c.d.f.'s of the components. In the .case of the above family, the estimates of the density functions are shown to have an asymptotically normal distribution. Consistent and least squares estimates are obtained for the component c.d.f.'s. We show that for multivariate mixtures identifiability of any one of the marginal mixtures implies the identifiability of the multivariate mixture, but not conversely. Finally, the univariate results are generalized to the multivariate case, and an example of the use of matrix mixtures is given.
Petrologic and experimental studies on the petrogenesis of Papua New Guinea ophiolites
Creators: name: Jaques, AL
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The late Mesozoic Marum and Papuan ophiolites of Papua New Guinea dip from the continental margin towards accreted Paleogene island-arcs and appear to represent frontal-arc basement emplaced as a result of mid- Tertiary continent/arc collision. Both ophiolites comprise thick sequences of layered ultramafic and mafic cumulates overlying tectonite peridotite and have associated basaltic pillow lavas. The petrology and geochemistry of the cumulate sequences are not consistent with an origin from common mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORE). Discrimination between mid-ocean ridge or marginal basin origins for the Papua New Guinea ophiolites is more dependent on accurate dating of the rocks rather than geochemical characteristics.

description: We consider a polymer with configuration modelled by the trajectory of a Markov chain, interacting with a potential of form $u+V_n$ when it visits a particular state 0 at time $n$, with $\{V_n\}$ representing i.i.d. quenched disorder. There is a critical value of $u$ above which the polymer is pinned by the potential. A particular case not covered in a number of previous studies is that of loop exponent one, in which the probability of an excursion of length $n$ takes the form $ϕ(n)/n$ for some slowly varying $ϕ$; this includes simple random walk in two dimensions. We show that in this case, at all temperatures, the critical values of $u$ in the quenched and annealed models are equal, in contrast to all other loop exponents, for which these critical values are known to differ, at least at low temperatures.

Magnetic moments of octet baryons, angular momenta of quarks and sea antiquark polarizations

description: One can determine antiquark polarizations in proton using the information from deep inelastic scattering, $β$ decays of baryons, orbital angular momenta of quarks, as well as their integrated magnetic distributions. The last quantities were determined previously by us performing a fit to magnetic moments of baryon octet. However, because of the SU(3) symmetry our results depend on two parameters. The quantity $Γ_{V}$, measured recently in a COMPASS experiment, gives the relation between these parameters. We can fix the last unknown parameter using the ratio of up and down quark magnetic moments which one can get from the fit to radiative vector meson decays. We calculate antiquark polarizations with the orbital momenta of valence quarks that follow from lattice calculations. The value of difference for up and down antiquark polarizations obtained in our calculations is consistent with the result obtained in a HERMES experiment.

Juvenile conferencing and restorative justice in Tasmania
Creators: name: Prichard, J
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis concerns recent innovations in the way that criminal justice systems deal with young offenders, namely through a process that is sometimes generically referred to as 'juvenile conferencing'. Juvenile conferences have been instituted across Australia and in numerous other countries. Empirical research was conducted in Tasmania, a small island state of Australia with a population of less than half a million people. Australia is a federation of six States (Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, and Western Australia) and two territories (the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory). On European settlement of Tasmania (then Van Diemen's Land) the English common law was adopted and applied. It was later modified by the Governor on the advice of the Legislative Council and later the Parliament of Van Diemen's Land. With Federation in 1901 the Commonwealth was not granted an express power to legislate on criminal law matters. Consequently, the States retained primary responsibility for their own criminal laws. The main sources of criminal law that concern this thesis are Tasmania's Criminal Code (established under the Criminal Code Act 1924 (Tas) and other State legislation, particularly the Youth Justice Act 1997 (Tas). The timing of the beginning of the research was fortunate. It began in January 2000, one month before Tasmania's youth justice system was completely restructured with the proclamation of the Youth Justice Act 1997 (Tas). Previously the police had two options when dealing with young offenders who had admitted to an offence: to caution the youth and not proceed with the matter, or to refer the matter to the children's court. The Act introduced a four-tiered system involving informal cautions, formal cautions, community conferences, and the children's court. The first two tiers, the informal and formal cautions, are processes conducted by the police. Formal cautions are held at police stations and usually include the offender's parents. Unlike any other Australian formal cautioning system, victims can attend formal cautions in Tasmania. Formal cautions can result in the young offender agreeing to complete undertakings, including up to 35 hours community service and actions to repair the damage caused to the victim. Community conferences, the third tier, are based on a format developed in New Zealand called family group conferences. Both formal cautions and community conferences can deal with quite serious offences, such as sexual assault, wounding, and grievous bodily harm.

In EXTREMENESS werden aus einem umfangreichen Modelldatensatz bestehend aus Reanalysen, Hindcasts und Klimaprojektionen für die Fokusregion Emsästuar Sturmflutereignisse extrahiert, die extrem selten und höchst unwahrscheinlich aber potentiell mit extremen Konsequenzen verbunden sein könnten. Diese ausgewählten extremen Sturmfluten sowie ihr Potential für eine mögliche Verstärkung durch z. B. unterschiedliche Wechselwirkungen zwischen Tidephase und Windentwicklung oder durch

description: Information about the impact of very severe storm tides and the possible changes that may occur due to anthropogenic climate change is required for planning of coastal protection. In EXTREMENESS a huge number of datasets containing reanalyses, hindcasts and climate change projections is searched for storm tides in the Ems estuary that are highly unlikely but are potentially linked with extreme consequences. Variations of boundary conditions e.g. tidal phase relative to the development of the wind or sea level rise are used to assess the potential for even more severe realizations of these storm tides. Numerical models of the North Sea and the estuaries of Ems and Elbe are used to analyze the extreme storm tides in detail.

description: Correlation effects in in the fluctuation of the number of particles in the process of energy branching by sequential impact ionizations are studied using an exactly soluble model of random parking on a line. The Fano factor F calculated in an uncorrelated final-state "shot-glass" model does not give an accurate answer even with the exact gap-distribution statistics. Allowing for the nearest-neighbor correlation effects gives a correction to F that brings F very close to its exact value. We discuss the implications of our results for energy resolution of semiconductor gamma detectors, where the value of F is of the essence. We argue that F is controlled by correlations in the cascade energy branching process and hence the widely used final-state model estimates are not reliable -- especially in the practically relevant cases when the energy branching is terminated by competition between impact ionization and phonon emission.

Effect of environment on the fracture of brittle solids
Creators: name: MacMillan, Robin Frederick George
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The effect of specific active environment on the fracture strength of glass and polymethyl methacrylate was investigated using an indirect tensile testing technique. The strength of glass was not affected by exposure to dry gaseous N₂ and CO₂. At low water vapour coverages, (<1/3 monolayer), the tensile strength of glass was reduced by approximately 50%. Further increase in water vapour pressure did not weaken the solid to a much greater extent. The existence of surface microcracks governs the absolute tensile fracture strength, and any process which varies the flaw geometry acts to vary the tensile fracture strength. Soaking in the liquid has the same effect as adsorption from the vapour phase near saturation. All vapour adsorbates caused a weakening, the magnitude of the decrease increasing with increasing ability of the adsorbate to screen the surface Si++++ cores. Moisture was the most active environment encountered. Polymethyl methacrylate did not weaken in the vapour phase despite multilayer adsorption, but stressing in wetting liquids did cause drastic failure, with a 57% decrease in tensile strength. Non-wetting liquids do not affect the strength of the acrylic plastics. Fracture experiments on a quartzitic rock in aqueous solutions of surfactant, (quartenary ammonium salts), show that the weakening due to surfactant adsorption is negligible, since water itself causes the maximum strength reduction. The adsorption of surfactant is only a secondary effect. A mechanism has been proposed for the stress-environmental failure of brittle solids. This mechanism recognizes the existence of micro-cracks, regards the stable crack propagation stage of the fracture process to be environment sensitive, and involves the strain-activated adsorption resulting in a decrease in cohesion at the flaw apex. The magnitude of the weakening is critically dependent on the nature of the bonding in the solid surface. A literature review of stress-sorption cracking, with an emphasis on non-metallic systems, is included.

We study the renormalizability of this theory in the framework of the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism, which allows for a gauge invariant renormalization. Using the background field method, we discuss the gauge invariance of the background effective action and analyze the Ward identities which reflect the symmetries of the EC theory. As an application, we compute, in a general background gauge, the self-energy of the tetrad field at one-loop order.

Trees as farms : painting the new landscape
Creators: name: Goodall, SL
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: A tree farm, in simple terms, is an area of land that has been planted with seedlings of a single timber species to be harvested for its wood. An agricultural farm can be defined as land planted with food crops or pasture for grazing animals. From a visual perspective a farmscape evokes historic, nostalgic notions of the pastoral landscape; whereas a tree farm is silent, moody, ambiguous, and unintelligible. A consideration of the impacts, both positive and negative, of timber plantations on farming districts and the environment provides the context for this investigation. Discourses of geography and land use, biology, economics and industry contribute to a multivalent viewpoint. I use painting to represent the removal of pasture and the reforestation of the farmscape where traditional crops are replaced by monocultural plantings of trees. Repetitive flora motifs of Eucalyptus nitens leaves symbolise the plantations enveloping former pasture. Common farming items are utilised as artefacts, remnants of a history lost. The modular, multi-panelled format employed is informed by Imants Tillers; with particular reference to Kangaroo Blank 1988 and his series Nature Speaks 1998-2000. Dividing the picture plane into a grid facilitates the removal of random sections, enabling the images to be broken down; with the empty pockets of space providing ambiguity, mystery and a sense of demise. Other artists referenced include David Keeling and Ray Arnold who take decisive political standpoints in their Tasmanian landscapes; Patrick Grieve and his highly stylised farmscapes; Richard Wastell and his portrayal of the vulnerability of the land; and Megan Walch, whose hauntingly dark depictions of tree branches in Skeletal 2010 pares back into their dark, grotesque beauty. Edward Hopper's Gas 1940 was a pivotal painting presenting the eerie, foreboding, cipher-like characteristics of plantation pine forests. The significance of the effects that tree farms have on the transformation of the rural landscape has proved a valuable topic for theoretical and visual research. Initially I paid no heed to the existence of tree farms in my local area, but gradually over the course of the project I began to question the impact on and changes to the rural community. Timber plantations loom large over the traditional agricultural landscape, superficially disrupting the pastoral and the picturesque while, as this project has identified, also impacting upon the environment and rural communities.
Instrumentation of the shotcrete lining in the Canadian National Railways Tunnel, Vancouver, B.C.
Creators: name: Mason, Robert Edward
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The Canadian National Railways Tunnel in Vancouver, B. C. is the first tunnel in North America to be driven with a temporary and permanent support system of coarse-aggregate shotcrete in lieu of steel arch sets and formed concrete. In order to determine the function of the shotcrete lining and to aid in the decision to use the lining as a permanent lining, an instrumentation program was undertaken. Surface photoelastic strain gauges and imbedded hydraulic pressure cells were used to determine in situ stresses and strains. The measurements show that the lining has achieved a relative equilibrium level at three representative measurement points, and that nowhere have the measured stresses and strains been excessive, nor have they even approached allowable design values. The function of the shotcrete lining as a support system has been shown to differ from that attained by steel arch supports. The use of shotcrete for support of the Canadian National Railways tunnel resulted in considerable economic savings.

description: This advisory circular (AC) provides guidance in the design of systems for

interactive training of airport personnel.  The Federal Aviation Administration

recommends the use of the guidance in this publication for the preparation of

specifications for equipment used for interactive training of airport personnel.

Federal grant-in-aid agreements for projects involving the purchase of

interactive training equipment will require the use of these specifications in

procurement documents.  The use of a performance specification (i.e., a

description of the functions to be performed by the training equipment, as

opposed to a material specification, which describes specific components) will

provide for increased competition and innovation in the design of a

cost-effective training system on the part of potential vendors.  2p.
Local government reform in Tasmania 1906-1939 : with special reference to the North West Coast
Creators: name: Rootes, GL
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis examines local government reform in Tasmania primarily between 1906 and 1939. The Local Government Act 1906 gave the state for the first time a comprehensive system of municipal government. This Act arose from the economic pressures placed on the new state government by federation. The government had tried several times to impose a more efficient system on the island, but failed due to an obstinate Legislative Council and strident opposition from local bodies. The 1906 Act was a compromise between the aim of the government for greater economy and efficiency and the desire of local bodies to preserve their existing interests. After the first world war, the Tasmanian municipal system gradually suffered from increasing overheads, lower revenues, and the revolution in motor-transport. This led some municipal councils into financial difficulties in the 1930s. During this decade the state government came under pressure from the Commonwealth government to reform its administrative practices. Faced with some ailing municipalities, the government appointed a Royal Commission in 1939 to review the 1906 Act and suggest some measures of improving the system. The outcome of this process was the lacklustre Local Government Act 1940. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the pressure for such reform and suggest why substantial changes was not forthcoming. Given the large scope of the subject, and with due regard to the limitations on research time and writing space, the focus is on one region, the North West, and, in particular, the Devonport and Leven councils, as case studies in which to draw general conclusions concerning reform in the chosen period. Space has also limited any detailed comparison of Tasmania's expenence during this time with the municipal systems elsewhere in Australia. Chapters one and two give a broad outline of the process that led to the passing of the 1906 Act. Chapter three examines the attachment to the community of interest principle on the North West and its consequences for municipal reform. Chapter four explores regionalism on the North West after the first world war. Chapter five and six examines the stresses put on the municipal system in the post-war period and the government's attempts at reform. The last chapter studies the proceedings and outcome of the 1939 Royal Commission.
Electron-phonon heat transfer in monolayer and bilayer graphene

description: We calculate the heat transfer between electrons to acoustic and optical phonons in monolayer and bilayer graphene (MLG and BLG) within the quasiequilibrium approximation. For acoustic phonons, we show how the temperature-power laws of the electron-phonon heat current for BLG differ from those previously derived for MLG and note that the high-temperature (neutral-regime) power laws for MLG and BLG are also different, with a weaker dependence on the electronic temperature in the latter. In the general case we evaluate the heat current numerically. We suggest that a measurement of the heat current could be used for an experimental determination of the electron-acoustic phonon coupling constants, which are not accurately known. However, in a typical experiment heat dissipation by electrons at very low temperatures is dominated by diffusion, and we estimate the crossover temperature at which acoustic-phonon coupling takes over in a sample with Joule heating. At even higher temperatures optical phonons begin to dominate. We study some examples of potentially relevant types of optical modes, including in particular the intrinsic in-plane modes, and additionally the remote surface phonons of a possible dielectric substrate.

description: The rise of time-domain astronomy including electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational waves, gravitational microlensing, explosive phenomena, and even astrometry with Gaia, are showing the power and need for surveys with high-cadence, large area, and long time baselines to study the transient universe. A constellation of SmallSats or CubeSats providing wide, instantaneous sky coverage down to 21 Vega mag at optical wavelengths would be ideal for addressing this need. We are assembling CuRIOS-ED (CubeSats for Rapid Infrared and Optical Survey--Exploration Demo), an optical telescope payload which will act as a technology demonstrator for a larger constellation of several hundred 16U CubeSats known as CuRIOS. In preparation for CuRIOS, CuRIOS-ED will launch in late 2025 as part of the 12U Starspec InspireSat MVP payload. CuRIOS-ED will be used to demonstrate the StarSpec ADCS pointing capabilities to <1" and to space-qualify a commercial camera package for use on the full CuRIOS payload. The CuRIOS-ED camera system will utilize a Sony IMX455 CMOS detector delivered in an off-the-shelf Atik apx60 package which we modified to be compatible with operations in vacuum as well as the CubeSat form factor, power, and thermal constraints. By qualifying this commercial camera solution, the cost of each CuRIOS satellite will be greatly decreased (~100x) when compared with current space-qualified cameras with IMX455 detectors. We discuss the CuRIOS-ED mission design with an emphasis on the disassembly, repackaging, and testing of the Atik apx60 for space-based missions. Characterization of the apx60's read noise, dark current, patterned noise, and thermal behavior are reported for a range of temperatures (-35 C to 40 C) and exposure times (0.001s to 30 s). Additionally, we comment on preliminary environmental testing results from a successful thermal vacuum test.

Affine Toric Equivalence Relations are Effective

description: Any map of schemes $X\to Y$ defines an equivalence relation $R=X\times_Y X\to X\times X$, the relation of "being in the same fiber". We have shown elsewhere that not every equivalence relation has this form, even if it is assumed to be finite. By contrast, we prove here that every toric equivalence relation on an affine toric variety does come from a morphism and that quotients by finite toric equivalence relations always exist in the affine case. In special cases, this result is a consequence of the vanishing of the first cohomology group in the Amitsur complex associated to a toric map of toric algebras. We prove more generally the exactness of the Amitsur complex for maps of commutative monoid rings.
