description: Aims. We investigate the properties of the host galaxy of the blazar J0324+3410 (B2 0321+33) by the analysis of B and R images obtained with the NOT under good photometric conditions. Methods: The galaxy was studied using different methods: Sersic model fitting, unsharp-masked images, B-R image and B-R profile analysis. Results: The images show that the host galaxy has a ring-like morphology. The B-R colour image reveals two bluish zones: one that coincides with the nuclear region, interpreted as the signature of emission related to the active nucleus, the other zone is extended and is located in the host ring-structure. We discuss the hypothesis that the later is thermal emission from a burst of star formation triggered by an interacting/merging process.

description: We have analyzed the efficiency in source detection and flux density estimation of blind and non-blind detection techniques exploiting the MHW2 filter applied to the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) 5-year maps. A comparison with the AT20G Bright Source Sample (Massardi et al. 2008), with a completeness limit of 0.5 Jy and accurate flux measurements at 20 GHz, close to the lowest frequency of WMAP maps, has allowed us to assess the completeness and the reliability of the samples detected with the two approaches, as well as the accuracy of flux and error estimates, and their variations across the sky. The uncertainties on flux estimates given by our procedure turned out to be about a factor of 2 lower than the rms differences with AT20G measurements, consistent with the smoothing of the fluctuation field yielded by map filtering. Flux estimates were found to be essentially unbiased except that, close to the detection limit, a substantial fraction of fluxes are found to be inflated by the contribution of underlying positive fluctuations. This is consistent with expectations for the Eddington bias associated to the true errors on flux density estimates. The blind and non-blind approaches are found to be complementary: each of them allows the detection of sources missed by the other. Combining results of the two methods on the WMAP 5-year maps we have expanded the non-blindly generated New Extragalactic WMAP Point Source (NEWPS) catalogue (Lopez-Caniego et al. 2007) that was based on WMAP 3-year maps. After having removed the probably spurious objects not identified with known radio sources, the new version of the NEWPS catalogue, NEWPS_5yr comprises 484 sources detected with a signal-to-noise ratio SNR>5.

Controlling pollution in the Derwent Estuary, Tasmania : issues of standards and management
Creators: name: Chapman, JD
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The Derwent estuary, Tasmania has been described as one of the most polluted estuaries in Australia, yet it supports a population of only 172 000 people and has only 3 major industries discharging effluent into its waters. This study aims to provide an historical overview of the use of the estuary that has caused it to receive such a reputation and to examine the responses by governments to controlling pollution since the problems were recognised in the early 1970's. A review of the major reports by scientists and other professionals concerning the impacts of pollution on the estuarine system over the last twenty years has been included to indicate the types of projects that have been undertaken in response to the perceived problems. Most studies, until recently, have been done to examine a single issue, such as heavy metals in fish, or the impact of wood fibre or sewage effluent. The review also provides a comprehensive summary of the current state of knowledge about the Derwent estuary and a background of information on which the political response and management strategies to date can be assessed. The rehabilitation of the tidal Thames, England is examined with a view to determining the processes that made it successful and which may be modified to suit a programme of rehabilitation for the Derwent estuary. A possible future institutional arrangement for care of the Derwent catchment is proposed. This entails the establishment of a central body which would concentrate on consulting the community to determine their priorities for the estuary. The task of undertaking a systematic baseline study of the estuary would be also be the responsibility of such a body. Both these tasks must be undertaken before making decisions about future management strategies.

description: Η σκλήρυνση κατά πλάκας (ΣΚΠ) είναι μια μακροχρόνια αυτοάνοση ασθένεια που επηρεάζει το νευρικό σύστημα, η οποία περιλαμβάνει φλεγμονή, βλάβη στο προστατευτικό κάλυμμα των νευρικών ινών και φθορά των νευρικών κυττάρων. Η διάγνωση της σκλήρυνσης κατά πλάκας περιλαμβάνει συνήθως τον εντοπισμό βλαβών σε δύο ή περισσότερες διακριτές περιοχές του κεντρικού νευρικού συστήματος, συμπεριλαμβανομένου του εγκεφάλου, του νωτιαίου μυελού και των οπτικών νεύρων. Τα τελευταία χρόνια έχει αυξηθεί σημαντικά ο αριθμός των διαθέσιμων θεραπευτικών επιλογών για τη ΣΚΠ. Η επιλογή της πιο αποτελεσματικής θεραπείας περιλαμβάνει συνήθως την προσαρμογή της στην πρόγνωση του κάθε ασθενούς και στους πιθανούς κινδύνους που σχετίζονται με τη θεραπεία. Αρχικό στόχο της παρούσας εργασίας αποτέλεσε η αναζήτηση στη διεθνή βιβλιογραφία των βιοδεικτών που σχετίζονται με τη ΣΚΠ, για την καλύτερη κατανόηση της παρούσας κατάστασης.

description: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder impacting the nervous system, characterized by inflammation, damage to the protective myelin sheath of nerve fibers, and deterioration of nerve cells. Diagnosing MS typically involves detecting lesions in two or more distinct areas of the central nervous system, such as the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. Recently, the number of treatment options for MS has grown considerably. Selecting the most effective treatment generally requires personalizing it based on the patient's prognosis and the associated risks. This study initially aimed to review international literature to find biomarkers related to MS to enhance understanding the current landscape. The primary goal of our research was to identify proteins that could act as specific biomarkers for the prognosis and early diagnosis of MS. This was achieved through comparative protein analysis of serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from patients, utilizing mass spectrometry and advanced bioinformatics tools.
Yield equations and indices for tropical freshwater fish populations.
Creators: name: Ssentongo, George William
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Simple algebraic relationships and yield equations that require the minimum of data are developed so as to enable quick and reliable assessments of relative rate of harvesting tropical freshwater fish populations. The age of a fish at the inflexion point is inversely related to the growth rate (K) and directly related to the natural logarithm of the weight length exponent (b). Algebraic relationships between the exponent of anabolism (m) and the weight length exponent are developed. Equations for estimating total mortality from age and length distributions in catch samples are given. Total mortality for both continuous and discrete recruitment are considered. The probability density function and the discrete probability function for a negative exponential are given. The effect of a number of variables on trawl catches is studied and some multiple regression equations which might be used to assess the relative degree of exploitation are presented. The parameters which have been recognized as vital to yield prediction are: the growth rate (K), the weight length exponent (b), the maximum length to which a fish grows (L∞) and the natural and total mortality rates. It is shown that one can replace age with a length expression in yield models and still have reliable yield predictions. It is also shown that a model with a few very relevant parameters, has almost the same predictive power as a model requiring more parameters.

description: Nonequlibrium phase transition of an open Takayama-Lin Liu-Maki chain coupled with two reservoirs is investigated by combining a mean-field approximation and a formula characterizing nonequlibrium steady states, which is obtained from the algebraic field approach to nonequlibrium statistical mechanics. When the bias voltage is chosen to be a control parameter, the phase transition between ordered and normal phases is found to be first or second order. Then, the voltage-current characteristics is S-shaped in some parameter region. In contrast, when the current is chosen to be a control parameter, all the non-trivial solutions of the self-consistent equation are found to become stable. In this case, the phase transition between the ordered and normal phases is always second order and negative differential conductivity appears at low temperature.

description: Issue Statement:The previously established Phillips-Heffron model, as outlined in the AJAS publication, served as a foundation to illustrate the impact of Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) utilization in enhancing power system oscillation stability. Regrettably, inaccuracies were identified within certain equations of this model, rendering its current iteration misleading and therefore unsuitable for accurate application.Approach:To rectify this discrepancy, this study embarks on a thorough reassessment of the model, undertaking a comprehensive re-derivation of its equations to ensure precision and validity. Employing a three-machine power system integrated with a UPFC, the revised equations are scrutinized to evaluate their accuracy and practical applicability.Findings:Simulation outcomes yielded by the reconfigured model showcased the effectiveness of the corrected equations when coupled with an adept controller. These results underscored the corrected model's active role in damping low-frequency oscillations across various operational scenarios.Conclusion:The re-calibrated model, now exhibiting accurate equations and functioning in tandem with power system networks, stands as an effective tool in fortifying power system stability. The rectified model not only addresses prior inaccuracies but also demonstrates tangible efficacy in enhancing the overall stability of power networks.

Major and minor element systematics in the lherzolite system : a petrological and experimental study
Creators: name: Ai, Y
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis is composed of two parts (six chapters). The first part (first two chapters) details a petrologic study of a suite of spinel ¬¨¬± garnet lherzolite xenoliths from Ming-xi, Fu-jian Province, southeastern China. The second part deals with experimental studies of systematic variations in compositions of lherzolite minerals with pressure and temperature in (complex) model lherzolite systems ... In conclusion, this study emphasizes systematic changes exhibited in mineral and whole-rock compositions and the causes of these changes, and demonstrates some possible ways of predicting these changes. Mantle processes are complicated, but in recognizing the three major processes (partial melting, recrystallization, and metasomatism), which are the main causes of the changes in mineral and whole-rock compositions, and in scrutinizing them, they can be comprehended. This idea is manifested in, among others, the detailed modelling of the partial melting process experienced by the Ming-xi lherzolite suite, the development of various mineral barometers and thermometers, and the realization of the two important types of subsolidus mineral reactions in the lherzolite system.

description: We extracted pollen from historical honeycomb specimens of beeswax to highlight the potential of beeswax as a source for palynological studies. The pollen composition was explored as a proxy for honeybee foraging in the past. Additionally, we wanted to illuminate the potential of the palynological analysis to provenance the specimens. Danish honeycomb samples from the Natural History Museum of Denmark, dating from the late 19th, early 20th century were processed and analysed for pollen identification. We used Ellenberg values to represent functional traits for the identified taxa and applied these as explanatory variables to study the variation in foraging environment and plant preference of the honeybees. Our results indicate variations of an agricultural landscape, with bees foraging on plants that are high in nutritional value. We found that information gained from palynological analysis of museum samples may be useful in illuminating details of historical apiology. We present our study in light of the importance of environmental biodiversity in Denmark and its vitality for bees as key pollinators in our ecosystem.
The Australian and Spanish-American novel of the land : an inquiry into some modern aspects of Pastoral
Creators: name: Cooper, Desmond John
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The novel of the land springs directly from colonial man's encounter with Virgin continents: an interpretation of the colonial experience is to be expected, since it is a normal function of the novelist to interpret man and his world. The Australian and Spanish-American novels of the land may validly be compared because of the intimate coincidence of subject matter, the identical European and cultural origins of the colonists, and because of the 19th and 20th Century appearance of the novel form in which writers articulate their interpretation of the emigrant venture. The modern colonial novel of the land is deeply indebted to earlier pastoral, utopian and neo-platonic ideas, which are traced in considerable detail in the introductory chapter, and identified in others. Examination of the literature of both continents reveals many areas of significant accord in their attitudes to Nature, and these are largely attributable to European cultural conditioning that transcends formal national differences. The important emergent themes are City versus Country, the Idealization of Rural Man and the Indigene, Aspiration towards the Simple Life, and Pastoral and Rural Utopianism. Both literatures see the moral stature of man as measured by his response to the new environmental challenge. They also reveal anxieties at the violation of Nature, and interpret the essentially masculine nature of the emigrant societies. Significant differences emerge - the green hell theme and the cults,of masculine aggressiveness in Spanish-American novels, and the historical land saga, and the transposition of land epic into universal allegory of the human condition in Australian writers. But for the rest, our interest resides not so much in social and other differences as in the treatment and colouring of comparable conditions that the new continental homelands imposed.

description: The Planet Hunting and Asteroseismology Explorer Spectrophotometer, PHASES, is a concept for a space-borne instrument to obtain flux calibrated spectra and measure micro-magnitude photometric variations of nearby stars. The science drivers are the determination of the physical properties of stars and the characterisation of planets orbiting them, to very high precision. PHASES, intended to be housed in a micro-satellite, consists of a 20 cm aperture modified Baker telescope feeding two detectors: the tracking detector, with a field of 1 degree square, and the science detector for performing spectrophotometry. The optical design has been developed with the primary goal of avoiding stray light on the science detector, while providing spectra in the wavelength range 370-960 nm with a resolving power that ranges from ~900 at 370 nm to ~200 at 960 nm. The signal to noise per resolution element obtained for a V=10 magnitude star in a 1 minute integration varies between ~ 35 and 140. An analysis of the light curve constrains the radii of the planets relative to their parent stars' radii, which are, in turn, tightly constrained by the combination of absolute spectrophotometry and trigonometric parallaxes. The provisional optical design satisfies all the scientific requirements, including a ~1% rms flux calibration strategy based on observations of bright A-type stars and model atmospheres, allowing the determination of stellar angular diameters for nearby solar-like stars to 0.5%. This level of accuracy will be propagated to the stellar radii for the nearest stars, with highly reliable Hipparcos parallaxes, and more significantly, to the planetary radii.

EEG alpha production in alpha conditioning and meditation
Creators: name: Warrington, Julia Ann
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Following training to discriminate their own alpha and non-alpha production, five subjects were tested over five sessions to determine whether EEG alpha autocontrol by this method was similar to that produced in initial meditation practice sessions by five naive meditators. Both groups were compared with a control "resting" group of five subjects. Besides alpha data, an adjective checklist and questionnaire were scored. No significant differences on percent alpha or alpha length were found between groups. However, the interaction effect approached significance. Meditators produced the greatest amount of alpha on the first session only and subsequently decreased alpha production. They also experienced more negative feelings over the sessions. Alpha conditioned subjects increased alpha production slightly as did the controls who produced somewhat less alpha than the former group. Relevance of the results to previous studies was discussed. Suggestions for further controls and methodological improvements were proposed.

description: The Denison Range Basin is one of several small basins along the Adamsfield Trough, a Cambrian eugeosynclinal structure developed between a geanticline of \Older\" Precambrian metasediments to the west (Tyennan Geanticline) and a complex belt of mainly \"Younger\" Precambrian rocks to the southeast (Jubilee Block). The trough is overlapped from the east by marine Ordovician rocks of the Florentine Synclinorium. Most of the filling of the Denison Range as in took place in the Upper Cambrian after the main igneous activity in the trough (including the emplacement of ultramafics onto the seafloor) had ceased and the sediments record a transition from flysch-type turbidites and siltstones to molasse-type sandstones and fanglomerates."

Further tests of cast C4 blades in the vortex wind tunnel.
Creators: name: Close, D J
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Extensive tests on the Vortex Wind Tunnel fitted with sand cast blades of free vortex design, have been carried out. The performance of the blades is much better than obtained in previous tests (Ref. 3) and this is attributed to modifications made to the tunnel. Whenever possible, the results from the tests are compared with two dimensional cascade data (Refs. 4, 6 and 15), and radial equilibrium studies are made on the flow. The agreement between the actual blade performance and the cascade data, is good, considering that the blades themselves are not of design shape. The flow appears to have almost reached a state of radial equilibrium-i chord lengths downstream of the blade rows. By examining data on secondary flows, (Ref. 10, 11, 16 and 17), and results from the Vortex Wind Tunnel, a picture of secondary flow formation is presented.

description: There are many astrophysical and laboratory scenarios where kinetic effects play an important role. These range from astrophysical shocks and plasma shell collisions, to high intensity laser-plasma interactions, with applications to fast ignition and particle acceleration. Further understanding of these scenarios requires detailed numerical modelling, but fully relativistic kinetic codes are computationally intensive, and the goal of one-to-one direct modelling of such scenarios and direct comparison with experimental results is still difficult to achieve. In this paper we discuss the issues involved in performing kinetic plasma simulations of experiments and astrophysical scenarios, focusing on what needs to be achieved for one-to-one direct modeling, and the computational requirements involved. We focus on code efficiency and new algorithms, specifically on parallel scalability issues, namely on dynamic load balancing, and on high-order interpolation and boosted frame simulations to optimize simulation performance. We also discuss the new visualization and data mining tools required for these numerical experiments and recent simulation work illustrating these techniques is also presented.

description: We report the discovery of high-energy (E>100 MeV) gamma-ray emission from NGC 1275, a giant elliptical galaxy lying at the center of the Perseus cluster of galaxies, based on observations made with the Large Area Telescope (LAT) of the Fermi Gamma ray Space Telescope. The positional center of the gamma-ray source is only ~3' away from the NGC 1275 nucleus, well within the 95% LAT error circle of ~5'.The spatial distribution of gamma-ray photons is consistent with a point source. The average flux and power-law photon index measured with the LAT from 2008 August 4 to 2008 December 5 are F_gamma = (2.10+-0.23)x 10^{-7} ph (>100 MeV) cm^{-2} s^{-1} and Gamma = 2.17+-0.05, respectively. The measurements are statistically consistent with constant flux during the four-month LAT observing period.Previous EGRET observations gave an upper limit of F_gamma < 3.72x 10 ^{-8} ph (>100 MeV) cm^{-2} s^{-1} to the gamma-ray flux from NGC 1275. This indicates that the source is variable on timescales of years to decades, and therefore restricts the fraction of emission that can be produced in extended regions of the galaxy cluster. Contemporaneous and historical radio observations are also reported. The broadband spectrum of NGC 1275 is modeled with a simple one-zone synchrotron/synchrotron self-Compton model and a model with a decelerating jet flow.

description: Das Studium von noetherschen Ringen spielt eine zentrale Rolle in der kommutativen Algebra. Eine der wichtigsten Invarianten eine Rings ist die Krulldimension, welche zu jedem Ring einen Wert zuordnet. Dieses Konzept wurde definiert von dem deutschen Mathematiker Wolfgang Krull, dessen Forschung über die Dimensionstheorie von noetherschen Ríngen als eines seiner gröÿten Leistungen gepriesen wird. Das Ziel dieser Thesis ist es, einen detaillierten Überblick über dieses klassische Forschungsgebiet zu geben.
description: The study of noetherian rings plays a central role in commutative algebra. One of the most important invariants is the Krull dimension, assigning to every ring a (possibly infnite) value. This concept was defned by the German mathematician Wolfgang Krull, whose study of the dimension theory for noetherian rings was one of his greatest achievements. The aim of this thesis is to give a detailed overview on this classical area of research.

description: The large number and all-sky distribution of quasars from different surveys, along with their presence in large, deep astrometric catalogs,enables the building of an optical materialization of the ICRS following its defining principles. Namely: that it is kinematically non-rotating with respect to the ensemble of distant extragalactic objects; aligned with the mean equator and dynamical equinox of J2000; and realized by a list of adopted coordinates of extragalatic sources. Starting from the updated and presumably complete LQAC list of QSOs, the initial optical positions of those quasars are found in the USNO B1.0 and GSC2.3 catalogs, and from the SDSS DR5. The initial positions are next placed onto UCAC2-based reference frames, following by an alignment with the ICRF, to which were added the most precise sources from the VLBA calibrator list and the VLA calibrator list - when reliable optical counterparts exist. Finally, the LQRF axes are inspected through spherical harmonics, contemplating to define right ascension, declination and magnitude terms. The LQRF contains J2000 referred equatorial coordinates for 100,165 quasars, well represented across the sky, from -83.5 to +88.5 degrees in declination, and with 10 arcmin being the average distance between adjacent elements. The global alignment with the ICRF is 1.5 mas, and the individual position accuracies are represented by a Poisson distribution that peaks at 139 mas in right ascension and 130 mas in declination. It is complemented by redshift and photometry information from the LQAC. The LQRF is designed to be an astrometric frame, but it is also the basis for the GAIA mission initial quasars' list, and can be used as a test bench for quasars' space distribution and luminosity function studies.

description: Charged lepton flavor violating processes are unobservable in the standard model, but they are predicted to be enhanced in several extensions to the standard model, including supersymmetry and models with leptoquarks or compositeness. We present a search for such processes in a sample of 99M Y(2S) decays and 117M Y(3S) decays collected with the BABAR detector. We place upper limits on the branching fractions BF(Y(nS) -> e tau) and BF(Y(nS) -> mu tau) (n = 2, 3) at the 10^(-6) level and use these results to place lower limits of order 1 TeV on the mass scale of charged lepton flavor violating effective operators.

Comparison of national parks policy in Canada and the United States.
Creators: name: Turner, R. David
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The history and development of National Park Systems in Canada and the United States are traced over the last 120 years, and the policies determining their management are examined and compared to identify basic similarities and differences. Official government reports and policy statements, historical records, and pertinent books, articles, and bulletins were used as references for the study. Emphasis is placed on recent history and existing policies. It is concluded that the philosophies governing National Parks policy have been, and still are, significantly different, and as a result, the National Park Systems of the two countries differ both physically and conceptually. United States policy has traditionally reflected a greater public and administrative concern for the protection of natural environments within the National Parks. As a result, attempts are being made to reduce the purely recreational character of the National Parks, and to divert the recreationists to other types of areas, such as National Recreation Areas and National Seashores. In recent years, concerted attempts to alienate areas within the parks have been defeated, primarily through the existence of a strong preservationist movement in the country. The establishment of the National Wilderness Preservation System demonstrates a widespread recognition of natural area preservation as a nationally significant land use. In Canada, National Parks policy has been much less concerned with nature preservation and protection. The provision of public recreation has gradually become the dominant theme of Canadian National Parks policy, with concern for natural areas only recently emerging. No widespread preservationist philosophy has existed in Canada. Despite Canada's lower population, recreation facilities and accommodations in the parks are generally more elaborate and extensive than in the United States. In general terms, the thrust of policy in Canada has been to preserve a quasi-natural setting for enjoying recreational activities, while in the United States, policy has been directed towards preserving and maintaining natural environments.

description: Fibers, which are an integral part of the textile industry, have been used for a long time in human history. Fibers are divided into two main types: natural and chemical fibers. Natural fibers are obtained from plants, animals or minerals, while chemical fibers are produced through artificial or synthetic methods. Both types of fibers are widely used in industry and have their own specific physical and chemical properties. Natural and chemical fibers play an important role in the production of fabrics and other materials. Fiber materials are widely used in various areas of human life, including clothing, industry, medicine and ecology. Natural fibers are often obtained from plants or animals, while chemical fibers are produced through synthetic processes.

Single inhaler combination inhaled corticosteroid–formoterol as both maintenance and reliever (SMART) compared with a step up of treatment with fixed-dose inhaled corticosteroid–long-acting β2-agonist maintenance with a short-acting β2-agonist as reliever in adolescents and adults with poorly controlled asthma In Colombia: a cost-utility analysis

description: The aim of the present study was to determine the cost-utility of single inhaler combination inhaled corticosteroid and a long-acting β2-agonist (ICS/LABAs) as both maintenance and reliever (SMART) compared with a step-up maintenance treatment with a fixed medium to high dose of ICS combined with LABA and a short-acting β2-agonist (SABA) as reliever (ICS-LABA maintenance plus SABA) among patients aged 12 years or more with poorly controlled asthma in Colombia. A Markov-type model was developed to estimate the costs and health outcomes of a simulated cohort of patients aged 12 years or more with uncontrolled asthma treated for 12 months. The main effectiveness data were obtained from a recent meta-analysis. The main outcome was the variable ‘‘quality-adjusted life-years’’ (QALYs). The base-case analysis showed that the budesonide/formoterol (BUD/FORM) SMART strategy was associated with lower overall treatment costs (US $3,062.37 vs. $4,462.02 average cost per patient over 12 months) and the greatest gain in QALYs (0.8511 vs. 0.8258 QALYs on average per patient over 12 months) compared with ICS-LABA maintenance plus SABA at step 4, thus leading to dominance. In patients aged 12 years or more with uncontrolled asthma at GINA step 3 or 4, the BUD/FORM SMART strategy at either step 3 or 4 is cost-effective compared with the ICS-LABA maintenance plus SABA at step 4 strategy, because it shows a greater gain in QALYs at lower total treatment costs.

description: Interference effects strongly affect the transport characteristics of a benzene single-electron transistor (SET) and for this reason we call it interference SET (I-SET). We focus on the effects of degeneracies between many-body states of the isolated benzene. We show that the particular current blocking and selective conductance suppression occurring in the benzene I-SET are due to interference effects between the orbitally degenerate states. Further we study the impact of reduced symmetry due to anchor groups or potential drop over the molecule. We identify in the quasi-degeneracy of the involved molecular states the necessary condition for the robustness of the results.
