description: We show that colloidal molecular crystal states interacting with a periodic substrate, such as an optical trap array, and a rotating external field can undergo a rapid pattern switching in which the orientation of the crystal changes. In some cases, a martensitic-like symmetry switching occurs. It is also possible to create a polarized state where the colloids in each substrate minima develop a director field which smoothly rotates with the external drive, similar to liquid crystal behavior. These results open the possibility for creating novel types of devices using photonic band gap materials, and should be generalizable to a variety of other condensed matter systems with multiple particle trapping.

New insight into the relation between star formation activity and dust content in galaxies

description: (Abridged) We assemble a sample of 3258 low-redshift galaxies from the SDSS DR6 with complementary photometric observations by GALEX, 2MASS and IRAS at far-ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths. We use a recent, simple but physically motivated model to interpret the observed spectral energy distributions of the galaxies in this sample in terms of statistical constraints on physical parameters describing the star formation history and dust content. The focus on a subsample of 1658 galaxies with highest S/N observations enables us to investigate most clearly several strong correlations between various derived physical properties of galaxies. We find that the typical dust mass of a star-forming correlates remarkably well with the star formation rate (SFR). We also find that the dust-to-stellar mass ratio, the ratio of dust mass to star formation rate and the fraction of dust luminosity contributed by the diffuse interstellar medium all correlate strongly with specific SFR. A comparison with recent models of chemical and dust evolution of galaxies suggests that these correlations could arise, at least in part, from an evolutionary sequence. As galaxies form stars, their ISM becomes enriched in dust, while the drop in gas supply makes the specific SFR decrease. Interestingly, as a result, a young, actively star-forming galaxy with low dust-to-gas ratio may still be highly dusty because it contains large amounts of interstellar gas. This may be important for the interpretation of the infrared emission from young, gas-rich star-forming galaxies at high redshift. Our study provides a useful local reference for future statistical studies of the star formation and dust properties of galaxies at high redshifts.

We employ both the Quantum Field Theory (QFT) approach, and the Lifshitz formula generalizations. The first approach turns out to be the leading order in the coupling constant of the second one. The Casimir interaction for this system appears to be rather weak but experimentally measurable. It exhibits a strong dependence on the mass of the quasi-particles in graphene.

description: Recently a one-dimensional closed ladder of Josephson junctions has been studied (G. Cristofano et al., Phys. Lett. A 372 (2008) 2464) within a twisted conformal field theory (CFT) approach (G. Cristofano et al., Mod. Phys. Lett. A 15 (2000) 1679; Nucl. Phys. B 641 (2002) 547) and shown to develop the phenomenon of flux fractionalization (G. Cristofano et al., Eur. Phys. J. B 49 (2006) 83). That led us to predict the emergence of a topological order in such a system (G. Cristofano et al., JSTAT (2005) P03006). In this letter we analyze the ground states and the topological properties of fully frustrated Josephson junction arrays (JJA) arranged in a Corbino disk geometry for a variety of boundary conditions. In particular minimal configurations of fully frustrated JJA are considered and shown to exhibit the properties needed in order to build up a solid state qubit, protected from decoherence. The stability and transformation properties of the ground states of the JJA under adiabatic magnetic flux changes are analyzed in detail in order to provide a tool for the manipulation of the proposed qubit.

Some studies on adenylate cyclase in brain
Creators: name: Ma, Yvonne Suk-Fong
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The Gilman's cyclic AMP binding assay was used to examine the possibility of adopting this method for adenylate cyclase determinations. Cyclic AMP determinations were not invalidated by the reagents used in the adenylate cyclase reaction. Cyclic AMP measured by the binding assay was directly proportional to adenylate cyclase activity. Although variability in recovery of cyclic AMP was obtained, it could be reduced by performing triplicate assays. Thus, the cyclic AMP binding assay, with some reservations, would appear applicable for measuring adenylate cyclase activity. Adenylate cyclase in rat brain was studied by using the cyclic AMP binding method for determination of product formed. Rat brain cortex was fractionated by the method of Whittaker. The highest adenylate cyclase activity was found in the fraction containing the highest acetylcholinesterase activity, and this fraction was shown by electronmicroscopic studies to be rich in synaptosomes. A modified sucrose gradient was used for isolating satisfactory synaptosomal fractions (the layer between 1.0 M and 1.1 M sucrose). Properties of synaptosomal adenylate cyclase were examined. The enzyme was dependent on the concentrations of ATP and Mg²⁺ or Mn²⁺ ion. The enzyme was stimulated by fluoride and inhibited by calcium ion. Synaptosomal adenylate cyclase was not sensitive to catecholamines or adenosine. No hormonal stimulation was obtained in the presence of GTP. In experiments where the effects of endogenous catecholamines were reduced by the addition of α and β adrenergic blocking agents or by prior treatment of the animals with reserpine, hormonal stimulation of adenylate cyclase in particulate preparations could not be demonstrated.

description: We use N-body simulations to investigate the radial dependence of the density and velocity dispersion in cold dark matter (CDM) halos. In particular, we explore how closely Q rho/sigma^3, a surrogate measure of the phase-space density, follows a power-law in radius. Our study extends earlier work by considering, in addition to spherically-averaged profiles, local Q-estimates for individual particles, Q_i; profiles based on the ellipsoidal radius dictated by the triaxial structure of the halo, Q_i(r'); and by carefully removing substructures in order to focus on the profile of the smooth halo, Q^s. The resulting Q_i^s(r') profiles follow closely a power law near the center, but show a clear upturn from this trend near the virial radius, r_{200}. The location and magnitude of the deviations are in excellent agreement with the predictions from Bertschinger's spherical secondary-infall similarity solution. In this model, Q \propto r^{-1.875} in the inner, virialized regions, but departures from a power-law occur near r_{200} because of the proximity of this radius to the location of the first shell crossing - the shock radius in the case of a collisional fluid. Particles there have not yet fully virialized, and so Q departs from the inner power-law profile. Our results imply that the power-law nature of $Q$ profiles only applies to the inner regions and cannot be used to predict accurately the structure of CDM halos beyond their characteristic scale radius.

Unlocking the roles of product Innovation and branding in driving customer value creation and firm value appropriation
Creators: name: Sok, KM
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The creation of value for customers has been recognised as a central concern of marketing academics and managers. Yet, it is increasingly acknowledged that customer value creation alone is insufficient to ensure a firm's profitability. Pragmatically firms have little incentives to engage in creating value for customers in the absence of opportunities to appropriate value back from their value creation effort. Hence, research needs to address how firms can achieve simultaneously ‚Äö- customer value creation and firm value appropriation. The study's primary objective is to identify the mechanisms that assist firms to achieve customer value creation and firm value appropriation. The literature emphasises the firms' capabilities (i.e. product innovation) as the means of creating customer value, to the neglect of firm value appropriation. This study contends that brand equity is a key mechanism that can link product innovation and customer value creation and firm value appropriation. This view is advanced because a brand adds value to the product endowed by that brand and at the same time the brand influences the customers' preferences that favour the brand's base of differentiation, resulting in competitive advantage attributable to the brand. The study's secondary objective is to advance the roles of brand orientation, market orientation, and transformational leadership. This study examines the effect of the interaction between brand orientation and market orientation on product innovation and the moderating effect of transformation leadership on product innovation ‚Äö- brand equity relationship. The results show that brand equity mediates the relationship between product innovation and customer value creation and firm value appropriation. Further, the interaction between market orientation and brand orientation acts as a key driver of product innovation in the development of a strong brand equity. Finally, transformational leadership moderates product innovation ‚Äö- brand equity relationship.

description: We study the agility of current-tunable oscillators based on a magnetic vortex orbiting around a point contact in spin-valves. Theory predicts frequency-tuning by currents occurs at constant orbital radius, so an exceptional agility is anticipated. To test this, we have inserted an oscillator in a microwave interferometer to apply abrupt current variations while time resolving its emission. Using frequency shift keying, we show that the oscillator can switch between two stabilized frequencies differing by 25% in less than ten periods. With a wide frequency tunability and a good agility, such oscillators possess desirable figures of merit for modulation-based rf applications.

An augmented reality simulated sterile environment for Aseptic Technique Training
Creators: name: Grayston, TI
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs) are a leading cause of death worldwide. In the United States, the death toll from HAIs exceeds that of AIDS, breast cancer, and motor vehicle accidents combined, totalling nearly 100,000 deaths annually. The correct application of aseptic technique by healthcare professionals is critical to the reduction of HAIs. However, the intricacies of maintaining a sterile field can be difficult for students to grasp due to the invisible nature of pathogens. Traditional teaching methods provide limited opportunity for students to receive feedback on their technique from qualified staff. Clinical settings also afford minimal feedback due to the delay between breaches of asepsis and occurrence of infection. This research presents a novel approach to aseptic technique training that utilises Augmented Reality (AR) technology to simulate a sterile environment. A prototype system, ARSterileSim, was developed based on the findings of a pre-liminary exploratory study. ARSterileSim tracks the movements of a user as they attempt a basic wound dressing procedure, providing feedback via colour-¬¨‚â†‚ÄövÑv™coding on a virtual mirror and auditory cues. The system makes the invisible visible, alerting the user when contamination occurs thereby completing the feedback loop. Face and content validity of the ARSterileSim prototype was assessed via a mixed methods triangulation study involving interviews with ten experts in aseptic technique training, from both academic and clinical backgrounds. Results indicate that while the prototype's markers and tracking accuracy require improvement, the approach in general has face validity. The findings also provide evidence of content validity within the defined scope of the proto-¬¨‚â†type, which excluded hand tracking. Participants placed particular value on the visual and auditory real-¬¨‚â†time feedback, as well as the fact that learning takes place in a tangible context, enabling strong transfer of learning to clinical practice. Further work in this area is therefore recommended.
A cross-cultural study of the views and attitudes towards maternity care held by migrants in rural Tasmania
Creators: name: Hoang, Thi
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: When migrants arrive in Australia, they bring with them cultural lenses which may affect the way in which they view the new cultural environment, particularly their attitudes and behaviours may not be understood by the dominant groups. One of the top concerns of migrants in Australia is about health care. The concern is not about the quality of health care but fundamentally how they access and make full use of it. Problems arise due to communication failure, misunderstanding, cultural interference, social isolation, and particularly lack of social capitals which support them to adapt to the new land. For migrant women, childbirth is an enriching experience but also poses many challenges in their acculturation into a new country. There are mixed emotions of happiness, anxiety, and fear. Asian women may have different views and expectations about childbirth experience and this also applies to health care workers, particularly to those in rural areas where there are very few migrant women. The study investigated the views and attitudes of Asian migrant women on maternity care in rural Tasmania and their reflection on their own experiences on childbirth in Tasmania. It was a first study dealing with Asian migrant women's views and attitudes towards childbirth in a rural context. The study employed both quantitative and qualitative methods. Questionnaires were used to collect data for SPSS-based analysis. For qualitative data, interviews were used as a research tool for data collection. Ten Asian women from diverse backgrounds were invited to participate in this study. Interview data was entered into a word document and NVivo software was used for data analysis. The findings reveal that Asian migrants in Tasmania have faced language and cultural barriers when dealing with the health care system in the new environment. As some Asian migrants still keep their traditional views and practices on maternity care, confusion and mismatched expectations were evident. Family plays an important role in supporting a migrant woman through her maternity journey. It is seen as a crucial cultural and social capital for the migrant woman's survival. The study offered some recommendations to policy makers and community organisations in relation to health care to improve health care services for Asian migrants in rural Tasmania.

Modeling golf ball roll with a variable coefficient of friction

description: Engineering of Sport 15 - Proceedings from the 15th International Conference on the Engineering of Sport (ISEA 2024)
A golf putt can be broken down into three main sections: a bouncing phase, a skidding phase, and a rolling phase. In many current models of the rolling phase, the interaction between the golf ball and turf is represented with a retarding force, modeled with a constant applied to the normal force (either a coefficient of rolling friction or a measure of the off-center center of gravity created by grass blade deformation). Hubbard and Always (1999) found that using a constant coefficient of friction models a putt well, but a high speed camera showed thisrolling coefficient of friction can vary about 10% over the course of a putt. It has not been investigated whether this range is the same for all putting surface types, nor whether incorporating this range has any significant effect on the ability of a model to predict a putt’s length given some initial conditions. This work presents results supporting the use of a nonconstant coefficient of rolling friction for modeling golf putts and additionally provides fitted values of these coefficients over various initial velocity ranges and putting surfaces.

The calculated FS of this compound is very similar to SrFe$_2$As$_2$, the parent compound of the high temperature superconductors. Our data show that the Fermi surface is composed of two electron and two hole sheets in agreement with bandstructure calculations. Several of the sheets show strong c-axis warping emphasizing the importance of three-dimensionality in the non-magnetic state of the ternary pnictides. We find that the electron and hole pockets have a different topology, implying that this material does not satisfy a nesting condition.

General Deviants: An Analysis of Perturbations in Compressed Sensing

description: We analyze the Basis Pursuit recovery of signals with general perturbations. Previous studies have only considered partially perturbed observations Ax + e. Here, x is a signal which we wish to recover, A is a full-rank matrix with more columns than rows, and e is simple additive noise. Our model also incorporates perturbations E to the matrix A which result in multiplicative noise. This completely perturbed framework extends the prior work of Candes, Romberg and Tao on stable signal recovery from incomplete and inaccurate measurements. Our results show that, under suitable conditions, the stability of the recovered signal is limited by the noise level in the observation. Moreover, this accuracy is within a constant multiple of the best-case reconstruction using the technique of least squares. In the absence of additive noise numerical simulations essentially confirm that this error is a linear function of the relative perturbation.

MgII absorption systems with W_0 > 0.1 Åfor a radio selected sample of 77 QSOs and their associated magnetic fields at high redshifts

description: We present a catalogue of MgII absorption systems obtained from high resolution UVES/VLT data of 77 QSOs in the redshift range 0.6 < z < 2.0, and down to an equivalent width W_0 > 0.1 Å. The statistical properties of our sample are found to be in agreement with those from previous work in the literature. However, we point out that the previously observed increase with redshift of dN/dz for weak absorbers, pertains exclusively to very weak absorbers with W_0 < 0.1 Å. Instead, dN/dz for absorbers with W_0 in the range 0.1-0.3 Åactually decreases with redshift, similarly to the case of strong absorbers. We then use this catalogue to extend our earlier analysis of the links between the Faraday Rotation Measure of the quasars and the presence of intervening MgII absorbing systems in their spectra. In contrast to the case with strong MgII absorption systems W_0 > 0.3 Å, the weaker systems do not contribute significantly to the observed Rotation Measure of the background quasars. This is possibly due to the higher impact parameters of the weak systems compared to strong ones, suggesting that the high column density magnetized material that is responsible for the Faraday Rotation is located within about 50 kpc of the galaxies. Finally, we show that this result also rules out the possibility that some unexpected secondary correlation between the quasar redshift and its intrinsic Rotation Measure is responsible for the association of high Rotation Measure and strong intervening MgII absorption that we have presented elsewhere, since this would have produced an equal effect for the weak absorption line systems, which exhibit a very similar distribution of quasar redshifts.

description: We consider a free quantum scalar field satisfying modified dispersion relations in curved spacetimes, within the framework of Einstein-Aether theory. Using a power counting analysis, we study the divergences in the adiabatic expansion of and , working in the weak field approximation. We show that for dispersion relations containing up to $2s$ powers of the spatial momentum, the subtraction necessary to renormalize these two quantities on general backgrounds depends on $s$ in a qualitatively different way: while becomes convergent for a sufficiently large value of $s$, the number of divergent terms in the adiabatic expansion of increases with $s$. This property was not apparent in previous results for spatially homogeneous backgrounds.
