description: Due to the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) an electric current flowing in a normal metal or semiconductor can induce a bulk magnetic moment. This effect is known as the Edelstein (EE) or magneto-electric effect. Similarly, in a bulk superconductor a phase gradient may create a finite spin density. The inverse effect, also known as the spin-galvanic effect, corresponds to the creation of a supercurrent by an equilibrium spin polarization. Here, by exploiting the analogy between a linear-in-momentum SOC and a background SU(2) gauge field, we develop a quasiclassical transport theory to deal with magneto-electric effects in superconducting structures. For bulk superconductors this approach allows us to easily reproduce and generalize a number of previously known results. For Josephson junctions we establish a direct connection between the inverse EE and the appearance of an anomalous phase-shift $φ_{0}$ in the current-phase relation. In particular we show that $φ_{0}$ is proportional to the equilibrium spin-current in the weak link. We also argue that our results are valid generically, beyond the particular case of linear-in-momentum SOC. The magneto-electric effects discussed in this study may find applications in the emerging field of coherent spintronics with superconductors.

Progression of learning of psychology within the Victorian curriculum

description: This thesis investigated the notion of progression of learning of psychology within the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) Study Design. A directed approach to analyse the document content was employed, with an instrument developed and revised from a theoretical base to guide analysis (Hsieh & Shannon, 2005). Informed by Bruner (1960), this study took the view that conceptual understanding takes time and systematic revisiting in different contexts to enable learners to grasp the underlying concepts, understand links between and within topics, and develop ideas of their own. This study recognised that sophisticated conceptual understandings go hand-in-hand with mastery of understanding the practices used to construct this knowledge (Duschl, Maeng, & Sezen, 2011). It used systems theory to embrace the conceptual and methodological diversity of psychology, recognise the continuous, multiple and complex interactions that contribute to the richness, complexity and diversity of individuals (Bronfenbrenner, 2001). Practices that build understandings within these systems were considered and combined with concepts. This study found useful starting points in the curriculum for developing a notion of progression but only to a limited extent. Complexities of each practice and concept were not emphasised and an overarching theme to connect and build on prior learning was missing. The psychology curriculum is in danger of being taught as single, isolated and unrelated topics, including research methodologies and ethical practices. This study analysed the intended curriculum with the intention of stimulating debate into the purpose of psychology as a discipline subject in schools and understandings of what is meant by a progression of learning of psychology and research into the teaching and learning of psychology.

Improving teaching and learning in a middle school English faculty

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis investigated the way in which a group of teachers worked collaboratively to form a professional learning community (PLC) in a middle school English department, with the aim of improving their teaching and their students' learning in English. The case study captured and evaluated the impact of involvement in the PLC on the individual teachers' attitudes towards their teaching and how the process led to changes in the quality of their teaching practice. Literature reveals that professional learning communities are an effective form of professional development when teachers work collaboratively with a shared vision, common goals, clear structures, a focus on student learning, and sharing of expertise to improve practice. It was my intention to utilise this framework of a PLC in an attempt to improve our practice. In this research I adopted a qualitative approach, through the development of a case study of a PLC with elements of action research. I worked with the participants in a series of PLC sessions as we developed a shared vision and purpose and de-privatised our practice to learn through shared reflection. Data was collected during these sessions through observation and semi structured interviews. I was a participant observer in this process and recorded my own reflections. The participants were volunteers from the English Department in an urban private school. The wider purpose of the research was to heighten the understanding within the case study school of what constitutes professional learning, how it can be developed through shared practitioner research and to document and understand the importance of a PLC as a means of improving teaching practice within the school. The study found that teachers who are motivated to work collaboratively in a professional learning community, to develop a shared vision and a focus on student learning, can improve their teaching practice and become more engaged and motivated professionals as a result of their collegial involvement, reflection on their practice and sharing of pedagogy, and this process can help to develop pedagogy that can improve student learning.

description: We investigate, based on the tight-binding model and in the linear deformation regime, the strain dependence of the electronic band structure of phosphorene, exposed to a uniaxial strain in one of its principle directions, the normal, the armchair and the zigzag directions. We show that the electronic band structure of strained phosphorene, for experimentally accessible carrier densities and uniaxial strains, is well described by a strain-dependent decoupled electron-hole Hamiltonian. Then, employing the decoupled Hamiltonian, we consider the strain dependence of the charged-impurity-limited carrier mobility in phosphorene, for both types of carrier, arbitrary carrier density and in both armchair and zigzag directions. We show that a uniaxial tensile (compressive) strain in the normal direction enhances (weakens) the anisotropy of the carrier mobility, while a uniaxial strain in the zigzag direction acts inversely. Moreover applying a uniaxial strain in the armchair direction is shown to be ineffective on the anisotropy of the carrier mobility. These will be explained based on the effect of the strain on the carrier effective mass.

description: Cybercrime is a growing threat to organizations and individuals worldwide, with criminals using sophisticated techniques to breach security systems and steal sensitive data. This paper aims to comprehensively survey the latest advancements in cybercrime prediction, highlighting the relevant research. For this purpose, we reviewed more than 150 research articles and discussed 50 most recent and appropriate ones. We start the review with some standard methods cybercriminals use and then focus on the latest machine and deep learning techniques, which detect anomalous behavior and identify potential threats. We also discuss transfer learning, which allows models trained on one dataset to be adapted for use on another dataset. We then focus on active and reinforcement learning as part of early-stage algorithmic research in cybercrime prediction. Finally, we discuss critical innovations, research gaps, and future research opportunities in Cybercrime prediction. This paper presents a holistic view of cutting-edge developments and publicly available datasets.

description: Abstract Bariatric surgery may alter the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or elimination (disposition) of orally administered drugs via changes to the gastrointestinal tract anatomy, body weight, and adipose tissue composition. As some patients who have undergone bariatric surgery will need therapeutic anticoagulation for various indications, appropriate knowledge is needed regarding anticoagulant drug disposition and resulting efficacy and safety in this population. We review general considerations about oral drug disposition in patients after bariatric surgery, as well as existing literature on oral anticoagulation after bariatric surgery. Overall, available evidence on therapeutic anticoagulation is very limited, and individual drug studies are necessary to learn how to safely and effectively use the direct oral anticoagulants. Given the sparsity of currently available data, it appears most prudent to use warfarin with international normalized ratio monitoring, and not direct oral anticoagulants, when full-dose anticoagulation is needed after bariatric surgery.

Tolerance of food intolerance: a socio-cultural study of parents who have investigated food intolerance with their families
Creators: name: Golemac, Dianne
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This study focuses on parent perceptions about food, behaviour and the learning of their young children in a sociocultural context. It aims to provide further information to educators, parents, teachers and care providers of children, particularly in the pre-school years, about families who have investigated food intolerance and its possible role in early childhood learning. The four participants of this study are members of the Food Intolerance Network (FIN), an online discussion forum for people investigating food intolerance issues. Participants self selected to be a part of this study. They completed a journal to record their experiences with food intolerance and then participated in a follow up interview to further expand on the arising issues. All the participants are female and are mothers of either one or two children. The families all reside in Melbourne. In two of the four families, both the parents and children investigated food intolerance. The children were the main focus of the investigation in one family and the mother investigated food intolerance for herself in the remaining family. When the participants discovered food intolerance in their families through an elimination diet, they reported changes in a range of behaviours, including sleep, aggression and anxiety. The parents from this study believe diet can improve their child’s ability to concentrate and learn. In addition to this, positive relationship changes were recognised among family members and friendship groups. Some of the parents felt that their children were less likely to over react to situations and some felt that they had discovered their “real child” through discovering the foods their child could not tolerate. Happiness was how the participants described the feelings of themselves and their children, though there was a sense of frustration as they told stories about the teachers, child care workers and extended family members who they found unaccommodating. Participants found the FIN particularly supportive while they made changes to their family diet, as it provided them with a group of people who had an understanding of food intolerance issues. Overall participants reported positive experiences through learning and managing food intolerance issues relevant to their family. Health, behaviour and learning were some of the benefits perceived by parents when family members ate foods which they were able to tolerate. They found that their interpersonal relationships as a family were better and they were able to find the support they needed through the FIN. The hardships identified by the participants related to the difficulty communicating food intolerance issues with their extended families and they felt misunderstood by those responsible for the care and education of their children at schools and child care facilities.

Angestellt werden Überlegungen zur Definition und zum Begriff der Sammlungsästhetik, der auf dem philosophischen Ästhetikbegriff Max Benses (1910–1990) beruht. Im Dissertationsprojekt „Zur digitalen Sichtbarkeit moderner und zeitgenössischer institutioneller Kunstsammlungen mit Afrikabezug“ werden digitalisierte Kunstsammlungen, eingebettet in Datenbanken und Webseiten, zum Untersuchungsgegenstand. Objektgruppenbetrachtungen und formalistische Objektanalysen im digitalen und analogen Raum prägen den Weg hin zur Definition einer Sammlungsästhetik. Die Methodenwahl wird exemplarisch anhand der Forschung zum Bestand des nigerianischen Künstlers Tijani Mayakiris in der Kunstsammlung am Iwalewahaus der Universität Bayreuth veranschaulicht, die Teil des Forschungsprojektes „Of Art Worlds – Collecting and Archiving Modern and Contemporary Art on the African Continent“ an der Universität Bayreuth im Cluster of Excellence EXC 2052 ist. Der internationale und interdisziplinäre Austausch zu und über digital sichtbare Sammlungen ist relevant für die Definition einer Sammlungsästhetik. Diese kann als wertschöpfendes Element die Identifikation der Institution mit der eigenen Sammlung stärken und einem Kulturgutverlust entgegenwirken.

description: We present the first systematic literature review on stress and burnout in K−12 teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on a systematic literature search, we identified 17 studies that included 9,874 K−12 teachers from around the world. These studies showed some indication that burnout did increase during the COVID-19 pandemic. There were, however, almost no differences in the levels of stress and burnout experienced by K−12 teachers compared to individuals employed in other occupational fields. School principals' leadership styles emerged as an organizational characteristic that is highly relevant for K−12 teachers' levels of stress and burnout. Individual teacher characteristics associated with burnout were K−12 teachers' personality, self-efficacy in online teaching, and perceived vulnerability to COVID-19. In order to reduce stress, there was an indication that stress-management training in combination with training in technology use for teaching may be superior to stress-management training alone. Future research needs to adopt more longitudinal designs and examine the interplay between individual and organizational characteristics in the development of teacher stress and burnout during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.

description: Bipolar Magnetic Regions (BMRs) provide crucial information about solar magnetism. They exhibit varying morphology and magnetic properties throughout their lifetime, and studying these properties can provide valuable insights into the workings of the solar dynamo. The majority of previous studies have counted every detected BMR as a new one and have not been able to study the full life history of each BMRs. To address this issue, we have developed an Automatic Tracking Algorithm (AutoTAB) for BMRs, that tracks the BMRs for their entire lifetime or throughout their disk passage. AutoTAB uses the binary maps of detected BMRs to automatically track the regions. This is done by differentially rotating the binary maps of the detected regions and checking for overlaps between them. In this first article of this project, we provide a detailed description of the working of the algorithm and evaluate its strengths and weaknesses by comparing it with existing algorithms. AutoTAB excels in tracking even for the small BMRs (with flux $\sim 10^{20}$ Mx) and it has successfully tracked 9152 BMRs over the last two solar cycles (1996--2020), providing a comprehensive dataset that depicts the evolution of various properties for each BMR. The tracked BMRs exhibit the well-known latitudinal-time distribution and 11 year cyclic variation except for small BMRs which appear at all phases of the solar cycle and show weak latitudinal dependency. Finally, we discuss the possibility of adapting our algorithm to other datasets and expanding the technique to track other solar features in the future.

The effect of language, gender and age in NAPLAN numeracy data
Creators: name: Wilson, Timothy Cameron
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This Year Level and gender based research study investigated the relationship between students ability to answer reduced language dependency mathematical questions with their overall numeracy level as measured by national testing. Rather than just studying students' ability to better answer reduced language dependency questions, it investigates whether a student's success at reduced language mathematical questions translates into better overall numeracy scores. The tools used to study this relationship was a quantitative study of specifically chosen, reduced language dependency, National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) numeracy test questions and Australian benchmark numeracy scores. The derived numeracy score for each student in the sample was compared to their ability to answer the reduced language dependency questions within the same test paper. This comparison was made for 1106 students over all four Year Levels of NAPLAN testing. Results were obtained for the whole sample, as well as individually by gender and by Year Level. It was found that students have better numeracy scores, at times of up to almost two years advancement, compared with their peers if they were able to correctly answer the reduced language dependency questions. For the sample, a mean numeracy benchmark score of 560.77 was obtained by students who could answer one or more reduced language dependency questions correctly, and of 545.93 for those who were incorrect on at least one of the questions. This difference in means was found to be statistically significant. This phenomenon was clearly apparent in the overall findings, but was most pronounced at the Year 3 level test, and was more pronounced for female students. The difference in mean numeracy benchmark scores appeared to be reduced as students became more mature and was minimised at Year 9 level. The outcomes of this study suggest that further investigations should be undertaken to determine whether young students' cognitive development is ready to connect mathematical tools with contrived situational applications, and whether classroom time may be better spent teaching what are often referred to as 'the basics' during the lower to late primary school years. As students mature during high school, they appear to be better able to decode numeracy test language and able to understand contextualised mathematical life skills required by citizens of the 21st Century.

The Australian History Summit : a case study in history education, politics and multiculturalism

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis examines created rhetoric and polemic regarding history and social education in Australian schools in the context of the prevailing discourses within a modern democratic, multicultural political system. Changes and reform to the history curriculum within the last fifteen years are analysed in terms of understanding the orientations of selected policy processes at government level which address what history or histories should be taught in Australian schools and the methodologies by which these teachings should be implemented. The conclusion of this thesis is that recent curriculum reform in history education 2005-2007 has been a product of political partisanship and that Australian history is a topic area that is viewed by neoconservative politicians as a channel for the promulgation of political and economic principles that are to be developed in school to promote a particular type of thinking.

description: Children with autism spectrum disorder often demonstrate unusual behavioral responses to sensory stimuli (i.e., sensory features). To manage everyday activities, caregivers may implement strategies to address these features during family routines. However, investigation of specific strategies used by caregivers is limited by the lack of empirically developed measures. In this study, we describe the development and pilot results of the Caregiver Strategies Inventory (CSI), a supplement to the Sensory Experiences Questionnaire Version 3.0 (SEQ 3.0; Baranek, 2009) that measures caregivers’ strategies in response to their children’s sensory features. Three conceptually derived and empirically grounded strategy types were tested: cognitive–behavioral, sensory–perceptual, and avoidance. Results indicated that the CSI demonstrated good internal consistency and that strategy use was related to child age and cognition. Moreover, parent feedback after completing the CSI supported its utility and social validity. The CSI may be used alongside the SEQ 3.0 to facilitate a family-centered approach to assessment and intervention planning.

description: Anthony G. Evans was one of the leading scientists of his generation in the field of materials. He worked during a period in which materials development and application emerged as being central to many technological advances, and materials science came into its own as an area of research and application. This memoir describes Evans’ remarkable influence and contribution to materials science and more broadly to engineering science. Evans had no rival when it came to the grasp of the underlying fundamentals of material behaviour, coupled with an extraordinary ability to focus his attention and to inspire and lead collaborative efforts. Evans brought people together, and he brought out the best in people. Evans’ productivity was prodigious, with well over 600 technical papers to his credit. Over the course of his career, he collaborated with over 400 individual co-authors. At the time of his death, Evans was the most highly cited materials scientist, and he continues to be one of the most cited more than 10 years later. A short list of subjects to which Evans made major contributions includes the exploration of virtually all aspects of the thermo-mechanical behaviour of advanced ceramics, ceramic matrix and metal matrix composites, thin film mechanics, interface fracture, thermal barrier coatings, metallic foams, morphing structures, aerospace materials for high temperature applications, lightweight lattice materials, and the design of materials and structures for resistance to blast and ballistic impact.

description: We introduce a method which provides accurate numerical solutions to fractional-in-time partial differential equations posed on $[0,T] \times Ω$ with $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ without the excessive memory requirements associated with the nonlocal fractional derivative operator. Our approach combines recent advances in the development and utilization of multivariate sparse spectral methods as well as fast methods for the computation of Gauss quadrature nodes with recursive non-classical methods for the Caputo fractional derivative of general fractional order $α> 0$. An attractive feature of the method is that it has minimal theoretical overhead when using it on any domain $Ω$ on which an orthogonal polynomial basis is already available. We discuss the memory requirements of the method, present several numerical experiments demonstrating the method's performance in solving time-fractional PDEs on intervals, triangles and disks and derive error bounds which suggest sensible convergence strategies. As an important model problem for this approach we consider a type of wave equation with time-fractional dampening related to acoustic waves in viscoelastic media with applications in the physics of medical ultrasound and outline future research steps required to use such methods for the reverse problem of image reconstruction from sensor data.

description: We present semiclassical approximations to Green's functions of multidimensional systems, extending Gutzwiller's work to the classically forbidden region. Based on steepest-descent integrals over these functions, we derive an instanton method for computing the rate of nonadiabatic reactions, such as electron transfer, in the weak-coupling limit, where Fermi's golden-rule can be employed. This generalizes Marcus theory to systems for which the environment free-energy curves are not harmonic and where nuclear tunnelling plays a role. The derivation avoids using the Im F method or short-time approximations to real-time correlation functions. A clear physical interpretation of the nuclear tunnelling processes involved in an electron-transfer reaction is thus provided. In the following paper, we discuss numerical evaluation of the formulae.

The missense mutation P209L in exon 3 results in a primarily cardiac phenotype leading to skeletal muscle and cardiac complications. At least 10 other Bag3 mutations have been reported, nine resulting in a dilated cardiomyopathy for which no specific therapy is available. We generated αMHC-human Bag3 P209L transgenic mice and characterized the progressive cardiac phenotype in vivo to investigate its utility in modeling human disease, understand the underlying molecular mechanisms, and identify potential therapeutic targets. We identified a progressive heart failure by echocardiography and Doppler analysis and the presence of pre-amyloid oligomers at 1 year. Paralleling the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases (eg, Parkinson disease), pre-amyloid oligomers–associated alterations in cardiac mitochondrial dynamics, haploinsufficiency of wild-type BAG3, and activation of p38 signaling were identified. Unexpectedly, increased numbers of activated cardiac fibroblasts were identified in Bag3 P209L Tg+ hearts without increased fibrosis. Together, these findings point to a previously undescribed therapeutic target that may have application to mutation-induced myofibrillar myopathies as well as other common causes of heart failure that commonly harbor misfolded proteins.

description: Open badges offer a unique opportunity to modularise the learning process and allow for the accreditation of skills via a variety of sources not traditionally classified as educational institutes. Addressing the mismatch between employer expectations and educational institutions’ skill offerings, a system such as Mozilla Open Badges could allow for targeted skill-based learning. Current Mozilla systems have been developed for ideal environments and prior attempts in implementing such a system in a resource-constrained environment within South Africa have resulted in failure. This research produces a model that allows for the successful implementation of open badges in resource-constrained environments.

description: The interplay between competing degrees of freedom can stabilize non-trivial magnetic states in correlated electron materials. Frustration-induced strong quantum fluctuations can evade long-range magnetic ordering leading to exotic quantum states such as spin liquids in two-dimensional spin-lattices such as triangular and kagome structures. However, the experimental realization of dynamic and correlated quantum states is rare in three-dimensional (3D) frustrated magnets wherein quantum fluctuations are less prominent. Herein, we report the crystal structure, magnetic susceptibility, electron spin resonance (ESR) and specific heat studies accompanied by crystal electric field (CEF) calculations on a 3D frustrated magnet Yb3Sc2Ga3O12. In this material, Yb3+ ions form a three-dimensional network of corner-sharing triangles known as hyperkagome lattice without any detectable anti-site disorder. Our results reveal a low energy state with Jeff = 1/2 degrees of freedom in the Kramers doublet state. The zero field-cooled and field cooled magnetic susceptibility taken in 0.001 T rules out the presence of spin-freezing down to 1.8K. The Curie-Weiss (CW) fit to low-T susceptibility data yields a small and negative CW temperature indicating the presence of a weak antiferromagnetic interaction between Jeff = 1/2 (Yb3+) moments. The Yb-ESR displays a broad line of non-Lorentzian shape that suggests considerable magnetic anisotropy in Yb3Sc2Ga3O12. The CEF calculations suggest that the ground state is well separated from the excited states, which are in good agreement with experimental results. The absence of long-range magnetic ordering indicates a dynamic liquid-like ground state at least down to 130 mK. Furthermore, zero field specific heat shows a broad maximum around 200 mK suggesting the presence of short-range spin correlations in this 3D frustrated antiferromagnet.
Critical aspects of design for educational simulations in a medical context

description: This thesis investigates the relationship between the design decisions of developing a medical educational simulation, the learning outcomes and student experience, in order to improve the design process for medical simulations. The research highlights the key design features of the First2Act online medical simulation that includes extensive video components and then analyses learner performance in order to identify which design decisions have the greatest impact on learning outcomes. Medical educational simulations require careful planning to achieve very specific learning outcomes. The medical industry leads the way in creating high-level simulations, and while research measures learning outcomes, it does not often include the impact of individual simulation components on those outcomes. A better understanding of the link between design elements and learning outcomes will contribute to better design guidelines in this field. This research collected a range of data from student interactions with a simulation and mapped results to learning improvements to identify which characteristics had the greatest impact on learning. Data collected included: 1: a/b multiple-choice quiz of learner knowledge, 2: interactions with interactive video-based scenarios, and 3: a survey on student experience. The multiple-choice quiz tracked the results of 367 nursing students, giving an indication of the areas where knowledge improved. Careful analysis of interaction patterns against those test results revealed that a combination of straightforward and clear learning material, the reiteration of those concepts to the student, and explicit feedback instructing students on the ideal response to the simulated scenarios’ improved the prospects of learning. The impact was greatest for poorly understood concepts. These results concluded that the design and development process should include a definitive list of learning outcomes, careful formulation of content, composing explicit feedback and designing interactions to encourage repetition. Improving the process for development of medical educational simulations not only improves learning outcomes, but also allows designers to focus often-limited resources on the simulation features that are more effective for learning. This thesis specifically looks into the design of learning simulations for the medical industry. However, the improved methodologies gained from the research have application in other industries developing e-learning simulations.

description: Combined neutron and x-ray diffraction experiments demonstrate the formation of a low-temperature minority tetragonal phase in Ba$_{0.76}$K$_{0.24}$Fe$_2$As$_2$ in addition to the majority magnetic, orthorhombic phase. A coincident enhancement in the magnetic ($\frac{1}{2}$ $\frac{1}{2}$ 1) peaks shows that this minority phase is of the same type that was observed in Ba$_{1-x}$Na$_x$Fe$_2$As$_2$ ($0.24 \leq x \leq 0.28$), in which the magnetic moments reorient along the $c$-axis. This is evidence that the tetragonal magnetic phase is a universal feature of the hole-doped iron-based superconductors.

description: Epitaxial copper thin films were deposited by magnetron sputtering. The adatoms during deposition are influenced by deposition parameters which cause variations in thin film properties. XRD and FESEM studies were done to get an insight into the growth mechanisms of the films. A modeling has been done on the epitaxial thin film growth with sputtering process. The parameters during sputtering like, sputtering yield, pressure, temperature, current density, deposition time were related and an attempt has been made to analyze the sputtering process.

description: The quark-hadron transition that happens in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions is expected to be influenced by the effects of rotation and magnetic field, both present due to the geometry of a generic non-head-on impact. We augment the conventional $T$--$μ_B$ planar phase diagram for QCD matter by extending it to a multi-dimensional domain spanned by temperature $T$, baryon chemical potential $μ_B$, external magnetic field $B$ and angular velocity $ω$. Using two independent approaches, one from a rapid rise in entropy density and another dealing with a dip in the squared speed of sound, we identify deconfinement in the framework of a modified statistical hadronization model. We find that the deconfinement temperature $T_C(μ_B,~ω,~eB)$ decreases nearly monotonically with increasing $μ_B,~ω$ and $eB$ with the most prominent drop (by nearly $40$ to $50$ MeV) in $T_C$ occurring when all the three quasi-control (via collision energy and centrality) parameters are simultaneously tuned to finite values that are typically achievable in present and upcoming heavy-ion colliders.

description: The known ground state of ultrathin smectic films confined to the surface of a sphere is described by four +1/2 defects assembled on a great circle and a director which follows geodesic lines. Using a simple perturbative approach we show that for thick smectic films on a sphere with planar anchoring this solution breaks down, distorting the smectic layers. The instability happens when the bend elastic constant exceeds the anchoring strength times the radius of the inner sphere. Above this threshold, the formation of a periodic chevron-like structure, observed experimentally as well, relieves geometric frustration. We quantify the effect of thickness and curvature of smectic shells and provide insight into the wavelength of the observed texture.
