description: Herein, in order to improve the photocatalytic performance of zinc oxide (ZnO), a visible light-responsive ZnO/activated carbon fiber (ACF) composite photocatalyst was prepared by immersion-hydrothermal method. The structural, micromorphology, formation procedure, optical properties and photocatalytic activity were researched in detail. The surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was introduced into the synthesis system. ZnO/ACF composites exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity under simulated visible light irradiation. Especially, when the amount of CTAB was 2.0 mM, the ZnO/ACF composite had the best adsorption performance and photocatalytic activity for the MO solution. The adsorption rate and degradation efficiency of the sample reached 95.6% and 99.4% after 5 h, respectively. We have proposed a possible photocatalytic machanism according to the trapping experiment. Moreover, ZnO/ACF still displayed excellent stability after 5 times repeated use.

description: We present the results of observational campaigns of asteroids performed at Asiago Station of Padova Astronomical Observatory and at M.G. Fracastoro Station of Catania Astrophysical Observatory, as part of the large research programme on Solar System minor bodies undertaken since 1979 at the Physics and Astronomy Department of Catania University. Photometric observations of six Main-Belt asteroids (27 Euterpe, 173 Ino, 182 Elsa, 539 Pamina, 849 Ara, and 984 Gretia), one Hungaria (1727 Mette), and two Near-Earth Objects (3199 Nefertiti and 2004 UE) are reported. The first determination of the synodic rotational period of 2004 UE was obtained. For 182 Elsa and 1727 Mette the derived synodic period of 80.23+/-0.08 h and 2.981+/-0.001 h, respectively, represents a significant improvement on the previously published values. For 182 Elsa the first determination of the H-G magnitude relation is also presented.

Assessment of an analytical density-matrix derived from a modified Colle-Salvetti approach to the electron gas

description: The Ragot-Cortona model of local correlation energy (J. Chem. Phys. 121, 7671 (2004)) revisits the initial approach of Colle and Salvetti [Theo. Chim. Acta 37, 329 (1975)] in order to reinstate the kinetic contribution Tc to the total correlation energy Ec. In this work, the one-electron reduced density-matrix underlying the amended model is fully derived in closed-form. By construction, the said density-matrix is parameter-free but not N-representable, owing to a series of approximations used in the Ragot-Cortona approach. However, the resulting density-matrix is shown to have formally correct short- and long-range expansions. Furthermore, its momentum-space counterpart qualitatively agrees with known parameterized momentum distributions except at small momenta, where the disagreement reflects the non-representability of the model and restricts to a small fraction of the slowest electrons only.

description: We present a detailed description of the observation of parity violation in the 1S0-3D1 408-nm forbidden transition of ytterbium, a brief report of which appeared earlier. Linearly polarized 408-nm light interacts with Yb atoms in crossed E- and B-fields. The probability of the 408-nm transition contains a parity violating term, proportional to (Elight . B)[(E x Elight) . B], arising from interference between the parity violating amplitude and the Stark amplitude due to the E-field (Elight is the electric field of the light). The transition probability is detected by measuring the population of the 3P0 state, to which 65% of the atoms excited to the 3D1 state spontaneously decay. The population of the 3P0 state is determined by resonantly exciting the atoms with 649-nm light to the 6s7s 3S1 state and collecting the fluorescence resulting from its decay. Systematic corrections due to E-field and B-field imperfections are determined in auxiliary experiments. The statistical uncertainty is dominated by parasitic frequency excursions of the 408-nm excitation light due to imperfect stabilization of the optical reference with respect to the atomic resonance. The present uncertainties are 9% statistical and 8% systematic. Methods of improving the accuracy for the future experiments are discussed.

description: Urban
population is steadily growing, bringing along a manifold increase of demand
for goods and services, mainly concentrated in relatively limited or overly
constrained areas. This is inevitably leading cities around the world to face
increasing challenges in terms of efficient transportation of persons and
goods, while controlling and ideally reducing its negative impacts on the
quality of life of their citizens. City logistics projects (CLP) try to address
the issue, with the aim at optimizing the logistics and transport activities by
public and private actors in urban areas while considering the traffic environment,
the traffic congestion and energy consumption within the framework of a market
economy. In Bergamo, as part of a larger project, called Bergamo 2.(035) A new Urban Concept in a changing World led by the University of Bergamo,
the Bergamo Logistica project aims to
identify and analyze the main issues, the ongoing projects and initiatives, and
the ideal directions of development in a small-medium city. Therefore, in this
paper, we discuss the main evidences and findings gathered so far through
several investigation activities, including literature analysis, workshops and
interviews with the main stakeholders. In doing this, we mainly assume an
industrial engineering perspective, highlighting the main issues to address and
the main barrier against the development of a city logistics project, as well
as the possible contribution the engineering discipline can provide.

description: This paper considerers the problem of computing the value of a solution of the heat equation at a given point inside a bounded domain after the initial time. It is assumed that the initial value of the solution inside the domain (possibly in a part of the domain) is known; the boundary value and the normal derivative on a part of the boundary of the domain over a finite time interval are known. Two analytical formulae for the problem are given. Both formulae make use of a special fundamental solution having a large parameter of the backward heat equation.

For non-Archimedean F (of characteristic zero) this theorem was proven in [JR].

description: The electronic properties of as-prepared and purified unoriented single-walled carbon nanotube films were studied by transmission measurements over a broad frequency range (far-infrared up to visible) as a function of temperature (15 K - 295 K) and external pressure (up to 8 GPa). Both the as-prepared and the purified SWCNT films exhibit nearly temperature-independent properties. With increasing pressure the low-energy absorbance decreases suggesting an increasing carrier localization due to pressure-induced deformations. The energy of the optical transitions in the SWCNTs decreases with increasing pressure, which can be attributed to pressure-induced hybridization and symmetry-breaking effects. We find an anomaly in the pressure-induced shift of the optical transitions at $\sim$2 GPa due to a structural phase transition.

description: We present results from Suzaku and Swift observations of the nearby radio galaxy 3C 33, and investigate the nature of absorption, reflection, and jet production in this source. We model the 0.5-100 keV nuclear continuum with a power law that is transmitted either through one or more layers of pc-scale neutral material, or through a modestly ionized pc-scale obscurer. The standard signatures of reflection from a neutral accretion disk are absent in 3C 33: there is no evidence of a relativistically blurred Fe K$α$ emission line, and no Compton reflection hump above 10 keV. We find the upper limit to the neutral reflection fraction is R<0.41 for an e-folding energy of 1 GeV. We observe a narrow, neutral Fe K$α$ line, which is likely to originate at least 2,000 R_s from the black hole. We show that the weakness of reflection features in 3C 33 is consistent with two interpretations: either the inner accretion flow is highly ionized, or the black-hole spin configuration is retrograde with respect to the accreting material.

description: Understanding the buying and shopping behaviour of current and potential consumers is essential in formulating a successful marketing strategy. It is no longer sufficient for companies to merely produce goods or provide services; companies must know who their consumers are, why they buy, when, where and at what price they buy, and what benefits they expect to gain from the purchase. Companies also need to identify how far consumers are willing to travel to make their purchases and whether the size of the sales area plays a significant role in their preferences. Retailers must also determine whether their customers prefer online shopping or want to buy and spend their leisure time in shopping centres. The paper aims at presenting the selected current trends in buying and shopping through elaborating an overview of the selected research studies and secondary data. The paper also gives an overview of contemporary trends in shopping, customer preferences with regard to types of retail outlets, e-commerce as such, buying and shopping in the online environment and, last but not least, the changes in consumer behaviour during the COVID-19 pandemic.

description: We investigate Einstein theories of gravity, coupled to a scalar field \vphi and point-like matter, which are characterized by a scalar field-dependent matter coupling function e^{H(\vphi)}. We show that under mild constraints on the form of the potential for the scalar field, there are a broad class of Einstein-like gravity models -characterized by the asymptotic behavior of H- which allow for a non-Newtonian weak-field limit with the gravitational potential behaving for large distances as ln r. The Newtonian term GM/r appears only as sub-leading. We point out that this behavior is also shared by gravity models described by f(R) Lagrangians. The relevance of our results for the building of infrared modified theories of gravity and for modified Newtonian dynamics is also discussed.

Inbreeding in three forest eucalypts
Creators: name: Hardner, CM
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: In eucalypts, inbreeding may occur under open-pollination (OP) or when effective population sizes are reduced by intensive selection. Breeding strategies employing inbreeding have also been suggested. This Thesis examines inbreeding in three widespread and commercially important temperate eucalypts: Eucalyptus globulus, E. nitens and E. regnans. Inbreeding depression was severe for growth traits in all species. Flowering was also depressed in E. nitens, whereas pilodyn penetration and relative bark thickness were unaffected. In a long term E. regnans study, the survival of inbred progenies was significantly lower than outcrosses. However, the mortality of selfs obscured an increase in inbreeding depression with age for growth traits. In most traits examined, inbreeding depression was associated with levels of quantitative dominance, however, some traits exhibited inbreeding depression but no dominance, suggesting the action of rare alleles with major effect. Inbred progenies were virtually absent from OP families from closed native E. globulus forests, however, outcrossing rates were lower in families from isolated parents. Biparental inbreeding may also be important under OP in native stands, as mating nearest neighbour depressed growth equivalent to half-sib inbreeding. However, the selection against selfs observed in E. regnans, suggested most inbreds are eliminated by reproductive maturity thereby reducing the level of inbreeding in natural populations and the ability to purge genetic load. The fitness of parents under OP did not appear to be related to additive differences but may be correlated with outcrossing rate. However, it is argued that mixed mating is evolutionary stable, favoured by the reproductive ecology of the species. Heritabilities estimated from OPs were greatly inflated compared to heritabilities estimated from outcross progenies in E. regnans and E. nitens, particularly for traits that exhibited inbreeding depression. A reduction in outcrossing rate from 1.0 to 0.8 in E. globulus was associated with lower breeding value estimates, suggesting variability among families in outcrossing rates may inflate heritabilities estimates and bias breeding values. In the E. regnans study, inflated heritabilities and additive variances estimated from OPs approximated outcross parameters as inbreds were selected against. However, OP heritabilities were also reduced as stand development enhanced of variation within OP families. In addition, OPs overestimated age-age correlations and poorly predicted outcross performance. Mixed model methods were developed to account for dominance and inbreeding, and were applied to self and outcross progenies of E. regnans. Ignoring inbreeding depression biased breeding values for diameter, but dominance was unimportant. Accounting for rare deleterious alleles improved the model, however, breeding values predicted under a simple model were almost perfectly correlated with those under a more complex model.

description: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education provides opportunities for students to engage in real-life problem solving using embedded 21st Century skills and elements of deeper learning.

 STEM education supports future teachers in equipping all students with 21st century skills. In STEM classrooms, lessons covering multiple content areas and 21st century skills promote best instructional practice. In preparation for college and careers in a global economy, STEM activities facilitate the development of relevant workplace skills (e.g., creativity).

 This qualitative study analyzes STEM lessons that benefit novice teachers’ classrooms. Teachers have called for more professional development in STEM instructional practices (Klimaitis & Mullen, 2020).

 New teachers need lessons and tools for working smarter. Streamlining their workload can help them thrive in the teaching profession. STEM lessons covering multiple content areas and 21st century skills promote best instructional practice for addressing challenges. Fostering deeper learning and engaging underrepresented groups in STEM learning are hurdles.

 Funded by the Hewlett Foundation, the Deeper Learning Hub (2019) proposes six competencies for deeper learning: content mastery, effective communication, collaboration, critical thinking and problem solving, self-directed learning, and an academic mindset (sense of belonging and motivation) (p.1).

description: We propose that magnetic reconnection at the heliopause only occurs where the interstellar magnetic field points nearly anti-parallel to the heliospheric field. By using large-scale magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the heliosphere to provide the initial conditions for kinetic simulations of heliopause (HP) reconnection we show that the energetic pickup ions downstream from the solar wind termination shock induce large diamagnetic drifts in the reconnecting plasma and stabilize non-anti-parallel reconnection. With this constraint the MHD simulations can show where HP reconnection most likely occurs. We also suggest that reconnection triggers the 2-3 kHz radio bursts that emanate from near the HP. Requiring the burst locations to coincide with the loci of anti-parallel reconnection allows us to determine, for the first time, the vector direction of the local interstellar magnetic field. We find it to be oriented towards the southern solar magnetic pole.

Tectonic history of the South-West Pacific region
Creators: name: Griffiths, JR
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This study attempts to deduce the Phanerozoic tectonic relation-ships of Australia, Antarctica and New Zealand, and then to discuss in greater detail the evolution of New Zealand and of the continental margin of south-cast Australia. Plate tectonics provides a broad conceptual framework for the syntheses proposed, but the emphasis throughout is based on objective analysis of the data available. Flow-charts and time-space plots are developed as aids in construction and evaluation of the tectonic syntheses. Various criteria are used to define and reassemble Australia, Antarctica, New Zealand and surrounding areas of continental crust as parts of the former Gondwanaland in the Mesozoic. A brief review of the Paleozoic (exposed mainly in eastern Australia), outlines the pro-gressive development and cratonisation of a very complex orogenic belt bordering the Pacific Ocean. During the Mesozoic an \Atlantic-type\" continental margin was established east of this belt and is now best exposed in New Zealand. Orogenesis along this margin accompanied sub-duction of the Pacific plate during the Upper Jurassic to Lower Cret-aceous Rangitata Orogeny. The resulting orthotectonic belt exhibits contrasting structural and metamorphic styles of foreland and oceanward sides. Fragmentation of Gondwanaland began in the Jurassic by develop-ment of an extensive rift valley system which is studied in detail in the sedimentary basins of south-east Australia (Otway Bass and Gippsland Basins) largely from sub-surface oil-company exploration data. The structural evolution of these basins is controlled by the initial rift configuration and neither pre-existing basement structures nor transform faults related to Tertiary sea-floor spreading appear to have much influence. Published marine magnetic data constrain a geometric synthesis of the sea-floor spreading history. From 85 to 60 million years ago the Tasman Sea was opening between Australia Antarctica and New Zea-land about a rotation centre near northern Queensland. Following separation of Australia and Antarctica about 55 million years ago a new three-plate geometry was established. In this system the Australian-Pacific plate boundary displays a complex history involving regions of subduction and transcurrent faulting. The Alpine Fault (which became active about 20 million years ago) and the severe Tertiary deformation in New Zealand are closely related to the sea-floor spreading history. The various aspects of the regional tectonic history studied all indicate that the plate tectonic hypothesis is both a valid and useful new approach in geology. They are also predictive and point to many new problems which might be investigated."

Transit travel to the urban core of Great Vancouver.
Creators: name: Karlsen, Erik Henry
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This thesis examines spatial patterns of transit travel to the downtown core of Greater Vancouver. The study is placed within the context of earlier case studies of Vancouver's urban structure and also draws on notions of spatial interaction. In this context, the study qualifies the functional relevance of traditional models of urban spatial structure and urban transportation, which provide a basis for understanding movement to the core of the modern city. Cartographic analysis found transit travel patterns to the downtown core to be structured by distance from the core, with friction-free inner zone of 3 to 5 miles generating high per capita trips to the core and a rapid drop-off in trips per capita beyond this zone; and by socioeconomic variation in radially organized residential areas within this inner zone or "core ring". It was also demonstrated that sub zones of the downtown core were directionally oriented to socially defined residential sectors within the "core ring". This confirms findings of earlier case studies of the spatial structure of Greater Vancouver and the functional role and relationships of the downtown urban core. However, the initially identified relationships were only partly supported by subsequent statistical analysis. This suggested problems resulting from the unsuitability of using aggregate data collection unit information (traffic zones) to model functional associations underlying spatial interaction; this indicates a direction for further research. It is also suggested in conclusion that the 'core ring' model of Greater Vancouver deserves more study, particularly in view of its implications to transportation planning in this metropolitan area.
High performance computing for classic gravitational N-body systems

description: The role of gravity is crucial in astrophysics. It determines the evolution of any system, over an enormous range of time and space scales. Astronomical stellar systems as composed by N interacting bodies represent examples of self-gravitating systems, usually treatable with the aid of newtonian gravity but for particular cases. In this note I will briefly discuss some of the open problems in the dynamical study of classic self-gravitating N-body systems, over the astronomical range of N. I will also point out how modern research in this field compulsorily requires a heavy use of large scale computations, due to the contemporary requirement of high precision and high computational speed.

Anisotropy vs chemical composition at ultra-high energies

description: This paper proposes and discusses a test of the chemical composition of ultra-high energy cosmic rays that relies on the anisotropy patterns measured as a function of energy. In particular, we show that if one records an anisotropy signal produced by heavy nuclei of charge Z above an energy E_{thr}, one should record an even stronger (possibly much stronger) anisotropy at energies >E_{thr}/Z due to the proton component that is expected to be associated with the sources of the heavy nuclei. This conclusion remains robust with respect to the parameters characterizing the sources and it does not depend at all on the modelling of astrophysical magnetic fields. As a concrete example, we apply this test to the most recent data of the Pierre Auger Observatory. Assuming that the anisotropy reported above 55EeV is not a statistical accident, and that no significant anisotropy has been observed at energies <10EeV, we show that the apparent clustering toward Cen A cannot be attributed to heavy nuclei. Similar conclusions are drawn regarding the apparent excess correlation with nearby active galactic nuclei. We then discuss a robust lower bound to the magnetic luminosity that a source must possess in order to be able to accelerate particles of charge Z up to 100EeV, L_B>10^{45}Z^{-2}erg/s. Using this bound in conjunction with the above conclusions, we argue that the current PAO data does not support the model of cosmic ray origin in active radio-quiet or even radio-loud galaxies. Finally, we demonstrate that the apparent clustering in the direction of Cen A can be explained by the contribution of the last few gamma-ray bursts or magnetars in the host galaxy thanks to the scattering of the cosmic rays on the magnetized lobes.

description: It has been shown that a gravitational dual to a superconductor can be obtained by coupling anti-de Sitter gravity to a Maxwell field and charged scalar. We review our earlier analysis of this theory and extend it in two directions. First, we consider all values for the charge of the scalar field. Away from the large charge limit, backreaction on the spacetime metric is important. While the qualitative behaviour of the dual superconductor is found to be similar for all charges, in the limit of arbitrarily small charge a new type of black hole instability is found. We go on to add a perpendicular magnetic field B and obtain the London equation and magnetic penetration depth. We show that these holographic superconductors are Type II, i.e., starting in a normal phase at large B and low temperatures, they develop superconducting droplets as B is reduced.

The metaphysics of causation : causation, conditionals and regularities.
Creators: name: Forrest, Peter
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: In this thesis I am concerned not with immanent causation, but with transeunt causation. In the Introduction I show how the Conditional Analysis and the Regularity Account of causation can be used to defend Causal Anti-realism and to supplement the Manipulability Account. I also mention three theses about Metaphysics which my discussion of causation illustrates. In Chapter One, I discuss some preliminaries. In Section One, I consider the method to be used for testing the permissibility of accounts of causation. I provide a stricter and a less strict criterion: the Analysis-criterion and the Reduction-criterion. The former is used in Chapter Two, the latter is used in Chapter Three. In Section Two, I argue for a distinction between two kinds of transeunt causation : explanatory and producing causation. I concentrate on producing causation in this thesis. I also argue that the class of particulars which can be producing causes - I call this the class of quasi-events - is larger than the class of events. Quasi-events are defined in terms of the notion of a causal field, which I discuss and defend. In Section Three, I briefly expound the kinds of conditional required for the Conditional Analysis. Chapter Two has two parts. In Part One, I defend the Conditional Analysis of causation. I begin with Mackie's account in The Cement of the Universe and I successively modify this account to meet various objections. The objections considered include the problems raised by collateral effects, overdetermination and simultaneous causation. I also briefly consider Lewis' account of causation. In Part Two, I discuss what account might be given of the conditionals used in the Conditional Analysis. I conclude that these conditionals should be treated as meta-inference conditionals based on a special kind of non-deductive inference. Chapter Three also has two parts. In Fart One, I defend the possibility of a regularity account, provided it is to satisfy only the Reduction-criterion. In Part Two, I provide a regularity account based on Mackie's account of causal regularities in The Cement of the Universe. Objections similar to those of Chapter Two are discussed. Finally, in Chapter Four, I discuss backwards causation, which I ignore in Chapters Two and Three. I argue that a causal anti-realist can quite rationally hold the position that backwards causation is logically possible but metaphysically impossible. More precisely, there are no coherent examples, described in non-causal terms, which a causal anti-realist need interpret as cases of backwards causation.

description: We consider the cosmology of modified gravity models in which Newton's constant is distorted by a function of the inverse d'Alembertian acting on the Ricci scalar. We derive a technique for choosing the distortion function so as to fit an arbitrary expansion history. This technique is applied numerically to the case of LambdaCDM cosmology, and the result agrees well with a simple hyperbolic tangent.
