description: We aim to understand the nature of the absorbing neutral gas in the galaxies hosting high-redshift long-duration GRBs and to determine their physical conditions. We report the detection of a significant number of previously unidentified allowed transition lines of Fe+, involving the fine structure of the ground term and that of other excited levels, from the zabs=3.969, log N(H0)=22.10 DLA system located in the host galaxy of GRB 050730. The time-dependent evolution of the observed Fe+ energy-level populations is modelled by assuming the excitation mechanism is fluorescence following excitation by ultraviolet photons. This UV pumping model successfully reproduces the observations, yielding a burst/cloud distance (defined to the near-side of the cloud) of d=440\pm 30 pc and a linear cloud size of l=520{+240}{-190} pc. We discuss these results in the context of no detections of H2 and CI lines in a sample of seven z>1.8 GRB host galaxies observed with VLT/UVES. We show that the lack of H2 can be explained by the low metallicities, [X/H]~1000 K, and large physical extents, l>~100 pc. The properties of GRB-DLAs observed at high spectral resolution towards bright GRB afterglows differ markedly from the high metal and dust contents of GRB-DLAs observed at lower resolution. This difference likely results from the effect of a bias, against systems of high metallicity and/or close to the GRB, due to dust obscuration in the magnitude-limited GRB afterglow samples observed with high-resolution spectrographs.

description: The absorption cross section of highly luminescent individual single-walled carbon nanotubes is determined using time-resolved and cw luminescence spectroscopy. A mean value of 1x10-17 cm2 per carbon atom is obtained for (6,5) tubes excited at their second optical transition, and corroborated by single tube photothermal absorption measurements. Biexponential luminescence decays are systematically observed, with short and long lifetimes around 45 and 250 ps. This behavior is attributed to the band edge exciton fine structure with a dark level lying a few meV below a bright one.
Domestic relations : a visual critique of ornamental restraint and difference
Creators: name: Lee, FMJ
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This investigation visually explores the decline of ornamentation in the decoration of domestic space, with subsequent loss of personal identity associated with this phenomenon. The home is potentially a statement of our individuality and the way we decorate it, as in the way we dress, suggests our distinctiveness to the outside world. I have formed an opinion as a result of this research, that as individuals in a mass-consumer society, there has been a subtle undermining of this uniqueness. The appeal of mass-produced, 'modernist-style' goods for the home, vigorously promoted and readily available, has relieved the home decorator of much of the decision-making. I believe this has resulted in a 'look' that is neutral and lacks the rich variation of personal history and identity that prevails in more ornamented interiors. This project aims to make the viewer aware of this shift and find ways of engaging more actively and creatively with domestic environments. Drawing on imagery and materials associated with domestic and consumer culture, the project attempts to expand on aspects of Nicolas Bourriaud's concept of relational aesthetics and postproduction, involving the consideration of ideas such as the beholder's ethic, interaction and the reuse of culturally laden materials in order to broaden these theories. Relying on the viewer's presence within the work, this project delivers an experience as the end product rather than a purely aesthetic encounter. This experience of process is situated in the context of the work of a range of artists such as Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Michael Lin, Yayoi Kasama and Daniel Buren, who have likewise sought to produce works which involve the active participation of the viewer. My contribution to the field aims to find new ways to provoke active engagement and stimulate members of my audience to be more conscious about the decoration of their own domestic interiors.

This means that, contrary to the general belief, any model of turbulence which implies a large number of collisions among wave packets for an efficient energy cascade (such as the Iroshnikov-Kraichnan model) are not compatible with the weak turbulence theory.

description: Magnetic single-domain nanoparticles constitute an important model system in magnetism. In particular ensembles of superparamagnetic nanoparticles can exhibit a rich variety of different behaviors depending on the inter-particle interactions. Starting from isolated single-domain ferro- or ferrimagnetic nanoparticles the magnetization behavior of both non-interacting and interacting particle-ensembles is reviewed. A particular focus is drawn onto the relaxation time of the system. In case of interacting nanoparticles the usual Neel-Brown relaxation law becomes modified. With increasing interactions modified superparamagnetism, spin glass behavior and superferromagnetism is encountered.

"Dual allegiance" in the Mackenzie Delta, N.W.T. - aspects of the evolution and contemporary spatial structure of a northern community
Creators: name: Wolforth, John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In the first part of the thesis, historical analysis shows that agents of cultural contact - the trading company and mission churches - focussed the activities of native Eskimo and Indian peoples upon the Mackenzie Delta. Centrifugal forces exerted by whaling in the Beaufort Sea and the Klondike Gold Rush were short-lived and resulted in the more rapid acculturation of native peoples involved in them who eventually drifted back towards the Mackenzie Delta. The intensification of trapping after 1920 and the growth of a pattern of settlements confirmed the importance of the Mackenzie Delta in the ecological regimes of Eskimos, Indians and the white trappers who migrated there at this time, and favoured the emergence of a Delta Community. In the second part of the thesis, an objective hierarchical grouping procedure is used to identify characteristic groups of trappers in terms of the species they trap. Groups specializing in more distant species associated with each settlement virtually disappeared between 1931 and 1951 and the spring muskrat harvest in the Mackenzie Delta became the dominant activity of most trappers. In 1950, trapping camps were evenly distributed throughout the Mackenzie Delta and the take of muskrat generally greater in the northeast. After the building of the new planned settlement of Inuvik the numbers of trapping camps diminished and the regional trend of the muskrat harvest shifted as the takes in the vincinity [sic] of the new town decreased. For the mid-sixties, a grouping procedure used to dichotomize "serious" and "part-time" trappers shows that a large proportion of the latter maintained trapping camps. Analysis of employment in Inuvik also shows a divided commitment to land and town. High income and high status jobs were occupied predominantly by white transient workers since they required skills and levels of educational achievement possessed by few native people. Though native people of Metis origin showed some success in employment, most Eskimos and Indians occupied more menial jobs. A comparison of employment in government and non-government sectors indicates that native involvement in the latter was growing, many native people in both sectors shifted jobs frequently, or between jobs and land-based activities. The town economy like the land economy showed signs of adaptation to the dual allegiance felt by native people to land and town.

A study of wood resin and cationic water soluble polymers : wood pitch fixatives
Creators: name: McLean, DS
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The deposition of wood resins (i.e. wood pitch, or pitch) has been a problem for the pulp and paper industry for many years. Unfortunately wood pitch fixatives do not eliminate wood resin deposition all of the time. Wood pitch deposition is a potential bottleneck in the reduction of water used to make paper. In order to address these problems a study into the nature of the interactions which occur between cationic polymeric fixatives, wood resins and wood fibres has been undertaken. During the course of these investigations a novel pitch fixative has been designed: guar gumgraft-poly(acrylamide-co-diallyldimethYlammonium chloride). The nature of interactions was explored through a number of techniques. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) was used to quantify the interaction between cationic polymeric fixatives and wood resins; for the first time. Laser particle size analysis (LPSA) was used to determine the effect of cationic polymeric fixatives addition on colloidal particle stability. Deposition studies were used to test interaction theories between cationic polymeric fixatives, wood resins and wood fibres. It was found that wood pitch fixatives worked in one of two ways; by either disrupting colloidal extractive stability, or by maintaining colloidal extractive stability. The novel fixative GG-g-p(AM-co-DADMAC) is unique in that it takes advantage of the colloidal stabilising features of a natural product (i.e. guar gum) and the wood pitch fixative properties of a synthetic polymer (i.e. p(AM-co-DADMAC)).

Type material examined
Holotype
INDIA • ♂; Meghalaya; Shillong (previously located in the state of Assam, as mentioned in original description, now the capital of the state of Meghalaya), Kench’s trace; 3 Aug. 1966; S. Biswas leg.; NZC-ZSI 3833/18.
Paratype
INDIA • 1 ♀, same data as for holotype; NZC-ZSI 3835/18.
Allotype
INDIA • 1 ♂, same data as for holotype; NZC-ZSI 3835/18.
Rationale for transferral
Tikader (1969) described this species based on specimens of both sexes, collected from Shillong, Meghalaya. Detailed examination of the type images of Ischnothele indicola shows that it has diagnostic features of Macrothele Ausserer, 1871, including the male palpal bulb with a long and slender embolus, and the female spermathecae with long receptacles and globular apical lobes, as well as the labium of both sexes bearing several cuspules (Fig. 13D, H) (see also Shimojana & Haupt 1998; Xu & Yin 2001; Xu et al. 2002). Therefore, based on the above characters, we transfer Ischnothele indicola to the genus Macrothele, creating the new combination Macrothele indicola comb. nov.
Remarks
The specimen is in bad condition and fragile, with broken legs and palp, the abdomen shows noticeable shrinking from probable historic desiccation.

description: The properties of pristine, free-standing graphene monolayers prepared by mechanical exfoliation of graphite are investigated. The graphene monolayers, suspended over open trenches, are examined by means of spatially resolved Raman spectroscopy of the G-, D-, and 2D-phonon modes. The G-mode phonons exhibit reduced energies (1580 cm-1) and increased widths (14 cm-1) compared to the response of graphene monolayers supported on the SiO2 covered substrate. From analysis of the G-mode Raman spectra, we deduce that the free-standing graphene monolayers are essentially undoped, with an upper bound of 2x10^11 cm-2 for the residual carrier concentration. On the supported regions, significantly higher and spatially inhomogeneous doping is observed. The free-standing graphene monolayers show little local disorder, based on the very weak Raman D-mode response. The two-phonon 2D mode of the free-standing graphene monolayers is downshifted in frequency compared to that of the supported region of the samples and exhibits a narrowed, positively skewed line shape.

description: We present new Planetary Nebula Spectrograph observations of the ordinary elliptical galaxy NGC 4494, resulting in positions and velocities of 255 PNe out to 7 effective radii (25 kpc). We also present new wide-field surface photometry from MMT/Megacam, and long-slit stellar kinematics from VLT/FORS2. The spatial and kinematical distributions of the PNe agree with the field stars in the region of overlap. The mean rotation is relatively low, with a possible kinematic axis twist outside 1 Re. The velocity dispersion profile declines with radius, though not very steeply, down to ~70 km/s at the last data point. We have constructed spherical dynamical models of the system, including Jeans analyses with multi-component LCDM-motivated galaxies as well as logarithmic potentials. These models include special attention to orbital anisotropy, which we constrain using fourth-order velocity moments. Given several different sets of modelling methods and assumptions, we find consistent results for the mass profile within the radial range constrained by the data. Some dark matter (DM) is required by the data; our best-fit solution has a radially anisotropic stellar halo, a plausible stellar mass-to-light ratio, and a DM halo with an unexpectedly low central density. We find that this result does not substantially change with a flattened axisymmetric model. Taken together with other results for galaxy halo masses, we find suggestions for a puzzling pattern wherein most intermediate-luminosity galaxies have very low concentration halos, while some high-mass ellipticals have very high concentrations. We discuss some possible implications of these results for DM and galaxy formation.

Isolation and characterization of actively anabolized dilignol rhamnosides in the leaves of western red cedar (Thuja plicata donn)
Creators: name: Manners, Gary Duane
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Three dilignol rhamnosides were isolated in 0.15 to 0.40% yield from the ethyl acetate solubles of a methyl alcohol extract of western red cedar (Thuja plicata Donn) leaves using silicic acid and Sephadex LH-20 pressure column chromatography. One of the three dilignol rhamnosides was characterized as l-(3'-methoxy-4'-hydroxyphenyl)-2-0-l"-[2"-hydroxy-4"-(propane-3"'-α-L-rhamnoside)phenyl]-propane-l,3 diol, using NMR and chemical degradation in conjunction with mass spectral techniques on the compound and its derivatives. The other dilignol rhamnosides were not completely characterized, but were shown to be chemically related to the dilignol identified. Based upon NMR, chemical and mass spectral data, the uncharacterized dilignol rhamnosides are speculated to contain phenylcoumaran and guaiacyl benzdioxane structures. The characterized dilignol rhamnoside represents the first reported occurrence of a free dilignol glycoside in plant tissues. The unusual α-L-rhamnose moiety of the dilignol occurs in a previously unreported linkage to the n-propyl hydroxyl group uncommon in lignin. The rhamnoside also displays the previously unreported guaiacylglycerol-catechol-β-aryl ether structure rather than the commonly observed guaiacylglycerol-guaiacyl-β-aryl ether structure. A new combustion-absorption technique was developed and validated which allows high efficiency evaluation of low activity radioactive products separated on thin layer cellulose chromatography plates. The technique was applied to an analysis of the anabolic products of an infusion feeding of U- (14)C--L-phenylalanine to western red cedar leaves. Facile imbibition of U-(14) C-L-phenylalanine occurs within ten hours. Maximum incorporation of 0.30%. and 0.40% of the available radioactivity occurs in the characterized dilignol rhamnoside, and its suspected phenylcoumaran homolog respectively, at the three to five hour period of the infusion feeding. The incorporation results indicate the participation of the dilignol rhamnosides in aromatic metabolism in the leaves of western red cedar. This feeding experiment is preliminary to future detailed biosynthetic studies in the leaf tissue. The combustion-absorption technique is limited to combustible sample weights of 7 mg.

description: We consider minimal surfaces in three dimensional anti-de-Sitter space that end at the AdS boundary on a polygon given by a sequence of null segments. The problem can be reduced to a certain generalized Sinh-Gordon equation and to SU(2) Hitchin equations. We describe in detail the mathematical problem that needs to be solved. This problem is mathematically the same as the one studied by Gaiotto, Moore and Neitzke in the context of the moduli space of certain supersymmetric theories. Using their results we can find the explicit answer for the area of a surface that ends on an eight-sided polygon. Via the gauge/gravity duality this can also be interpreted as a certain eight-gluon scattering amplitude at strong coupling. In addition, we give fairly explicit solutions for regular polygons.

 Type data. Holotype, male; Turkey, Antalya, near Çıralı-Olympos (ca. 60 km ssw Antalya), 36.410° N, 30.465° E (CH 5450, Collection Heller).

 Remarks. Heller (2004) reported that the records of P. inflatus by Yalım & Çıplak (2002) from Antalya, Termessos and that by Sevgili (2001) from Kemer refer to P. martinae martinae. The two male used by Yalım & Çıplak (2002) were re-examined and clearly identified as P. isopterus sp. n. described in this study. On the other hand, data obtained during this study indicate that P. isopterus sp. n. occurs in relatively high altitudes (> 500 m as in Termessos and İbradı) while other close relatives such as P. martinae and P. inflatus were recorded along a narrow band along the coast. Thus, we propose that P. martinae martinae occurs along a narrow band starting from Kemer and extending to Demre. In this case the following localities of P. martinae martinae given in Heller (2004) possibly is based on mislabelling: TURKEY: 2 FF (CH 1551-52), Antalya, Termessos, 36" 58' N, 30'' 30' E, 0 8.06.1985, leg.

 Poecilimon martinae tlos Heller (2004): 15.
 Type data. Holotype, male; Turkey, Muğla, Tlos (ca. 20 km ö Fethiye), 36.556°N, 29.420° E (CH 5446, Collection Heller).
 Description. See Heller (2004) in addition to data here.
 Material examined. Holotype.
 Remarks. This subspecies is known only from the type specimen which is similar to P. martinae martinae by the general appearance and the male cercus tapered apically. Interestingly, the distribution of this subspecies is isolated from that of the nominate subspecies and the dominant species in its type locality is P. inflatus. Heller (2004) considered P. inflatus and P. martinae as sister species and diagnosed three forms by differences in male cerci. However, male cerci are more similar in P. inflatus and P. martinae martinae while more different in P. martinae tlos. At present song data are not available and female is not known in P. martinae tlos in order to clarify the systematic uncertainties. This subspecies may represent a distinct species, but an appropriate decision requires obtaining further data.

Spectroscopic Evidence for Gas Infall in GF9-2

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: We present spectroscopic evidence for infall motion of gas in the natal cloud core harboring an extremely young low-mass protostar GF9-2. We previously discussed that the ongoing collapse of the GF9-2 core has agreement with the Larson-Penston-Hunter (LPH) theoretical solution for the gravitational collapse of a core (Furuya et al.; paper I). To discuss the gas infall on firmer ground, we have carried out On-The-Fly mapping observations of the HCO+ (1--0) line using the Nobeyama 45m telescope equipped with the 25 Beam Array Receiver System. Furthermore, we observed the HCN (1--0) line with the 45m telescope, and the HCO+ (3--2) line with the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory 10.4 m telescope. The optically thick HCO+ and HCN lines show blueskewed profiles whose deepest absorptions are seen at the peak velocity of optically thin lines, i.e., the systemic velocity of the cloud (paper I), indicating the presence of gas infall toward the central protostar. We compared the observed HCO+ line profiles with model ones by solving the radiative transfer in the core under LTE assumption.We found that the core gas has a constant infall velocity of ~0.5 km/s in the central region, leading to a mass accretion rate of 2.5x10^{-5} Msun/yr. Consequently, we confirm that the gas infall in the GF9-2 core is consistent with the LPH solution.

Ecophysiology of Antarctic lichens
Creators: name: Hovenden, Mark
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The vegetation of the Windmill Islands oasis, Wilkes Land, continental Antarctica is dominated by lichens. Aspects of the ecology and physiology of lichens were studied during three summers and a winter period on the well vegetated Clark and Bailey Peninsulas in an attempt to explain patterns in lichen distribution. Most studies were done at a knoll on Clark Peninsula. This knoll has an extensive range of substratum nutrient levels and a variety of microhabitats, resulting in a variety of niches in a small area. At this site 29 identifiable species of lichen occur in seven sociations, most dominated in varying degrees by the macrolichens Pseudephebe minuscula, Umbilicaria decussata, Usnea sphacelata and Usnea antarctica. The crustose lichen Buellia frigida dominates sites on exposed boulders and a separate suite of species inhabits dead and dying moss. There are a suite of species which are restricted to sites with high nutrient levels, although the distribution of the dominant species is relatively insensitive to substratum nutrition. Exposure limits all species to various extents, with all lichens being intolerant of late-lying snow. The nitrogen and phosphate content of lichen thalli is clearly related to that of the substratum on which they are growing. Monthly sampling of Usnea sphacelata and Umbilicaria decussata from eight sites identified a consistent trend in thallus nitrogen content with %N increasing throughout the winter and then dropping sharply with the onset of the melt and increasing during the summer. Lichen integrity during the middle of winter and before and after an unusual winter event were assessed by investigating the distribution of mineral nutrients within the lichen thallus. Although the distribution of minerals in the thalli differed between species and sites there was no effect of month and therefore the unseasonal rewetting and subsequent refreezing had little effect on membrane integrity. The most important time for lichen photosynthetic activity was early summer from late October to early December. The increasing temperatures and insolation at this time lead to a great deal of snow melt and hence an increase in the availability of free water. Humidity was therefore high so that activation of photosynthesis was possible through water vapour uptake alone. During the bulk of the summer lichens are photosynthetically inactive. At this time the air is too dry for lichens to absorb sufficient water from the atmosphere to initiate photosynthesis and hence they rely on direct moistening from summer snow falls and run off. The photosynthesis of the major species as a function of thallus water content was related to their observed distribution patterns. Together, substratum nutrient levels, microclimate and photosynthetic characteristics of species can describe a great deal of the observed distribution patterns of lichens in the Windmill Islands.

 Remarks. This species is known from the island of Crete and the neigbouring islet Gavdos (Tilmans 2002). The record from the island of Naxos is probably based on a mislabelling (see Willemse & Heller 2001). It is most similar to P. martinae and P. inflatus as discussed in morphology and acoustic part. Its relatives in Anatolia exhibit a high diversity in a narrow area, thus, re-examination of specimens from Crete and other islands may allow us to discover a rich diversity here as observed in some other Orthoptera (Çıplak et al. 2010). The previous records given in Willemse (1984) were also marked in the distribution map.

description: CP violation in supersymmetry can give rise to rate asymmetries in the decays of supersymmetric particles. In this work we compute the rate asymmetries for the three-body chargino decays \tildeχ^\pm_2 \to \tildeχ^\pm_1 HH, \tildeχ^\pm_2 \to \tildeχ^\pm_1 ZZ, \tildeχ^\pm_2 \to \tildeχ^\pm_1 W^+ W^- and \tildeχ^\pm_2 \to tildeχ^\pm_1 ZH. Each of the decays contains contributions mediated by neutral Higgs bosons that can possibly go on shell. Such contributions receive a resonant enhancement; furthermore, the strong phases required for the CP asymmetries come from the widths of the exchanged Higgs bosons. Our results indicate that the rate asymmetries can be relatively large in some cases, while still respecting a number of important low-energy bounds such as those coming from B meson observables and electric dipole moments. For the parameters that we consider, rate asymmetries of order 10% are possible in some cases.

Hardware for an electrical machines laboratory computer data acquisition system
Creators: name: Jordan, James Ellwood
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Hardware for an electrical machines laboratory computer data acquisition system is considered. A survey of existing equipment and a study of the role of a computer system in laboratory instruction is made for the UBC electrical machines laboratory. From this, specifications for the hardware required for a data acquisition and processing system are studied and a system configuration proposed. Transducers for measuring voltage and current waveforms on a machine are considered and designed. The performance of the transducers constructed is evaluated in two sets of measurements. In the first set, measurement error, offset drift, common-mode rejection ratio, and frequency cutoff are measured for the transducer set (by itself). Measurement errors are found to be less than 1% F.S. In the second set of measurements, a system similar to the one proposed for the machines laboratory is tested. Results from this set of measurements indicate that the system design proposed is workable.
