description: The optical properties of the chromium doped spinel type semiconductor $\alpha$-$\rm ZnAl\sb2S\sb4$ have been examined over the temperature range 2-540K. From extrinsic absorption and photoluminescence spectra the transitions between the ground state $\rm\sp4A\sb{2g}$ and the excited levels $\rm\sp2E\sb{g}\ (R\sb1$ and R$\rm\sb2),\ \sp2T\sb{2g},\ \sp4T\sb{2g}$ and $\rm\sp4T\sb{1g}$ of the Cr$\sp{3+}$ ions were observed. A fit of the measured temperature dependence of the PL decay, using a four level model, yielded the lifetimes of the $\rm\sp2E\sb{g}\ (R\sb1$ and R$\sb2)$ and $\rm\sp4T\sb{2g}$ levels and the energy gaps between the $\rm\sp2E\sb{g}\sp{(1)}$-$\rm\sp2E\sb{g}\sp{(2)}$ and $\rm\sp2E\sb{g}\sp{(1)}$-$\rm\sp4T\sb{2g}$ states which were found to be very close to the values obtained from steady-state measurements. A configurational coordinate diagram for Cr$\sp{3+}$ ions in a $\alpha$-$\rm ZnAl\sb2S\sb4$:Cr spinel host has been constructed. Optical gain measurements at 198 K, 298 K and 380 K displayed two separate spectral regions associated to the Cr$\sp{3+}$ ions and possibly to Cr$\sp{4+}$ impurity centers. Gain values of up to 25 cm$\sp{-1}$ (730 nm) at 198 K were obtained. Finally the intrinsic photoluminescence measurements revealed an intense UV peak around 380 nm from 20 K to 296 K which corresponds to the indirect band gap of the host crystal, $\alpha$-$\rm ZnAl\sb2S\sb4.$

description: The idea of the 'information society' has taken hold in sociological and political analysis. Information technology, it is argued, is forming new virtual and actual networks that make up communities, both local and global. Computer networks are capable of transcending national boundaries, as information and communications is shared globally; they are also capable of redefining them, as they mark out new locations and regions, a new sense of place. Stubbornly, however, the problem of the digital divide has remained; as information and services are provided in ways that require increasingly fast and sophisticated tools and navigational skills, those on low incomes, in isolated areas and with less education are less able to access the resources, services and information they need.

description: In the days since Mike Scrafton revealed what he told John Howard about the “children overboard” before the last election, the question of whether he should have ignored the risks and spoken out sooner has been intensely debated. Loudest of all was the blistering contribution from Max Moore-Wilton, the former head of the Prime Minister’s Department, who told ABC radio that – among other things – Scrafton was a “weak personality” if he had indeed failed to speak out because he feared retribution.

Effect of geometry and anisotropy on the magnetic moment of type II superconductors.
Creators: name: Meng, Jinglei.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1994
Subjects: subject: Physics, Condensed Matter.

description: Formulae for the magnetic moment $\vec\mu$ of anisotropic platelets of high $T\sb{c}$ superconductors developed by Gyorgy et al and Peterson are frequently exploited by these and other researchers to estimate $j\sbsp{c}{c}$ and $j\sbsp{c}{ab}$, the critical current densities along the c axis and in the ab plane taken to be independent of the magnetic flux density B. These formulae were derived using the basic definition, $\ = ( -\ \mu\sb0H\sb{a})/\mu\sb0$ and ignoring end effects, (i.e. any demagnetizing fields), hence implied that the aspect ratio along the magnetizing field $H\sb{a}$ is large. This approximation is inappropriate for platelets penetrated by $H\sb{a}$. We develop these formulae using the alternative basic definition of a magnetic moment, $\vec\mu = 1/2\int(\vec{R}\times \vec{j})dV$. Now however, for the approach to be valid, $\vec{j} = j\sbsp{c}{c}$ or $\vec{j} = j\sbsp{c}{ab}$ must be independent of B (Bean approximation) and fill the entire volume of the specimen (i.e. a saturated critical state must be established). We show that these formulae are correct under these restrictions regardless of the configuration of $\vec{B}(x,y,z)$ and the neglect of end effects and attendant demagnetizing fields. Pursuing this framework and the latter definition we develop formulae for $\vec\mu$ for isotropic parallelepipeds of various aspect ratios as a function of their inclination $\theta$ with respect to the magnetizing field $\vec H\sb{a}$. We maintain throughout the critical assumption that the induced persistent currents circulate transverse to $\vec H\sb{a}$. The graphs of computations with these formulae are useful in identifying the role of geometry on the magnitude of $\vec\mu$. We also envisage two simple but basic regimes of anisotropy of the critical current densities. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: This thesis examines the first collections of modern Persian literature written by Iranian female authors in the context of a process of gender modernization during the Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi’s reign (1941-1979). This thesis argues that women’s literature written during the period of transition from tradition to modernity is clearly influenced by the state’s gender policy and illustrates the changing position of women’s status in private and public life. Indeed, an examination of the collections of short stories and poems that were produced in this period demonstrates that female authors were concerned with the unveiling policy, arranged marriage and polygamy, women’s education, women’s social participation, women’s domestic obligations, women’s political awakening, and female sexuality. Furthermore, central themes covered by female authors changed significantly based on the transformations of gender politics the society experienced from the 1940s and 1950s to the 1960s and 1970s.

description: Miguel Barnet's Biografía de un cimarrón  is a paradigmatic example of mediate testimonial discourse aiming to rescue the voice of the oppressed and to be the conscience of a new cultural identity supported by the voice of Esteban Montejo. If on one hand testimony helps establish a memory that can not be consoled with the ambiguities of novelistic fiction, on the other, Barnet 'the manager' organized a narrative that aligns the past to present. Education on slavery, the story and its subjective nature have to structure a social identity which in turn is enclosed within a historical continuity that gives it a sense, that is a content and a direction. So the reader may be recognized in the "puesta en sentido" of the story of a life and of all that this story can offer to the reader: an autobiographical pact whose uniqueness lies in its performative character, intersubjective, in which the manager captures the reader.

Keywords: Testimony-novel, slavery, autobiography, past-present, Revolutionary Cuba.

Si por un lado su testimonio ayuda a establecer una memoria que no se consuela con las ambigüedades de la ficción novelística, por el otro el gestor Barnet organiza un relato que alinea el pasado al presente. Pedagogía sobre la esclavitud, el relato y su carácter subjetivo tienen que estructurar una identidad social que a su vez se inscriba en una continuidad histórica que le otorgue un sentido, o sea un contenido y una dirección. Así el lector podrá reconocerse en la “puesta en sentido” del cuento de una vida y de todo lo que ésta ofrece al lector: un pacto autobiográfico cuya peculiaridad radica en su carácter performativo, intersubjetivo, con el que el gestor captura al lector.

description: Students' learning outcomes in accounting subjects of auditing and taxation appear to suffer considerably when practical experience is lacking in the curricula. Academics in an Australian School of Business have implemented a program of introducing selected current affairs articles, with defined discussion questions, as an exercise in creating a surrogate for practical experience. This study examines whether students of different gender achieve similar learning outcomes, using Biggs' 3P Model of Teaching and Learning as a research framework. While overall there is positive correlation with creation of real life experiences and learning outcomes, this does not hold true for both genders. Females have more positive learning outcomes in this research study and across the School of Business in this university. This is against a backdrop of lesser representation in both number in senior positions and higher remuneration levels for females in the profession.

description: The Australia Telescope 20 GHz (AT20G) survey is a blind survey of the whole Southern sky at 20 GHz with follow-up observations at 4.8, 8.6 and 20 GHz carried out with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) from 2004 to 2008. In this paper we present an analysis of radio spectral properties in total intensity and polarization, sizes, optical identifications and redshifts of the sample of the 5808 extragalactic sources in the survey catalogue of confirmed sources over 6.1 sr in the Southern sky (i.e. the whole Southern sky excluding the strip at Galactic latitude |b| < ). The sample has a flux density limit of 40 mJy. Completeness has been measured as a function of scan region and flux density. Averaging over the whole survey area the follow-up survey is 78 per cent complete above 50 mJy and 93 per cent complete above 100 mJy. 3332 sources with declination δ < −15& 0176; have good quality almost simultaneous observations at 4.8, 8.6 and 20 GHz. The spectral analysis shows that the sample is dominated by flat-spectrum sources, with 69 per cent having spectral index α208.6 > − 0.5 (S∝να). The fraction of flat-spectrum sources decreases from 81 per cent for S20 GHz > 500 mJy to 60 per cent for S20 GHz < 100 mJy. There is also a clear spectral steepening at higher frequencies with the median α decreasing from −0.16 between 4.8 and 8.6 GHz to −0.28 between 8.6 and 20 GHz. Simultaneous observations in polarization are available for all the sources at all the frequencies. 768 sources have a good-quality detection of polarized flux density at 20 GHz; 467 of them were also detected in polarization at 4.8 and/or at 8.6 GHz so that it has been possible to compare the spectral behaviour in total intensity and polarization. We have found that the polarized fraction increases slightly with frequency and decreases with flux density. The spectral indices in total intensity and in polarization are, on average, close to each other, but we also found several sources for which the spectral shape of the polarized emission is substantially different from the spectral shape in total intensity. The correlation between the spectral indices in total intensity and in polarization is weaker for flat-spectrum sources. Cross-matches and comparisons have been made with other catalogues at lower radio frequencies, and in the optical, X-ray and γ-ray bands. Redshift estimates are available for 825 sources.
The phenomenon of the New Zealand necessity entrepreneur
Creators: name: Maritz, Alex
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: There is a direct correlation between Necessity Entrepreneurship and economic growth; high growth is achieved by raising the Necessity Entrepreneurship rate (GEM 2002). The Necessity Entrepreneur (NE) is someone who never considered owning a business until there was no other option (Kroll, 2003; Forbes 2003). This paper studies the demographic and attitudinal peculiarities of New Zealand Necessity Entrepreneurs; particularly related to reasons as to why these Entrepreneurs start their own businesses. The study explores comparisons between Total Entrepreneurial Activity (TEA), Opportunity Entrepreneurs (OE) and Necessity Entrepreneurs (NE) in New Zealand, together with NE comparisons between OECD and developed countries. The paper explores relationships between NE and unemployment, welfare systems, the labour-leisure trade off (Cowling, 2002), and pension provisions.

description: The present article explores the relationship between the vindictive memory of some specific socio-historical groups (which has suffered the effects of several kinds of political violence) and the construction of monuments devoted to remember certain traumatic events of the past. Based on the analysis of a concrete case – the urban and commemorative spaces and symbols of Montevideo – this article examines the process of creation of those memorials for the victims of genocides, war actions against civil population, military repression against popular insurrections, guerrilla violence and State terrorism. This analysis considers the historical context in which the construction of every monument was approved, the social and political initiatives involved in their creation, the public debates they provoked, and the reactions they caused once they were finished.

Keywords: memory, history, public monuments, political violence, Montevideo.

A partir del contexto histórico que origina a cada monumento, se profundiza en las iniciativas sociales y políticas involucradas, los debates concomitantes y las reacciones que generan una vez inaugurados.

A chopped neural front-end featuring input impedance boosting with suppressed offset-induced charge transfer

description: Modern neuromodulation systems typically provide a large number of recording and stimulation channels, which reduces the available power and area budget per channel. To maintain the necessary input-referred noise performance despite growingly rigorous area constraints, chopped neural front-ends are often the modality of choice, as chopperstabilization allows to simultaneously improve (1/f) noise and area consumption. The resulting issue of a drastically reduced input impedance has been addressed in prior art by impedance boosters based on voltage buffers at the input. These buffers precharge the large input capacitors, reduce the charge drawn from the electrodes and effectively boost the input impedance. Offset on these buffers directly translates into charge-transfer to the electrodes, which can accelerate electrode aging. To tackle this issue, a voltage buffer with ultra-low time-averaged offset is proposed, which cancels offset by periodic reconfiguration, thereby minimizing unintended charge transfer. This article explains the background and circuit design in detail and presents measurement results of a prototype implemented in a 180nm HV CMOS process. The measurements confirm that signal-independent, buffer offset induced charge transfer occurs and can be mitigated by the presented buffer reconfiguration without adversely affecting the operation of the input impedance booster. The presented neural recorder front-end achieves state of the art performance with an area consumption of 0.036mm2, an input referred noise of 1.32 μVrms (1 Hz to 200 Hz) and 3.36 μVrms (0.2 kHz to 10 kHz), power consumption of 13.7 μW from 1.8V supply, as well as CMRR and PSRR ~83 dB at 50 Hz.

description: In Argentina, the creole population has been appreciated or undervalued according to the dominant national political vision. Border situations and contact between descendants of former Spanish settlers and the indigenous peoples of the Chaco allowed the rise of mutual representations that dominate their discourse up to these days. In this regard, there are paintings belonging to the nineteenth and twentieth century whose data on the creole are relevant to contrast with the aboriginal representation of the specific rural creole settlers of Mision Nueva Pompeya and the places related to this village of the Chaco.

Keywords: Argentina, creole, Chaco, paintings, memory.

En la Argentina el criollo ha sido apreciado o subvalorado según la visión política nacional dominante. Las situaciones de frontera y contacto de los descendientes de españoles con los aborígenes del Chaco permitieron hacer aflorar representaciones mutuas que dominan el discurso de las sociedades involucradas hasta hoy. Al respecto, hay pinturas realizadas en el siglo XIX y XX, cuyos datos criollos en general son relevantes para contrastar con la representación del criollo que tiene el aborigen, específicamente referido a la sociedad criolla rural de Misión Nueva Pompeya y parajes vinculados con esta localidad en la provincia del Chaco.

Performance measurement and accountability in an Australian fire service
Creators: name: Kloot, Louise
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: New Public Management (NPM) techniques have been widely adopted in Australian public sector organisations. NPM stresses the concept of accountability, and in this context reporting mechanisms are important. All government and semi-government authorities provide annual reports, but the usefulness of these annual reports in assessing operational and financial performance is open to question. We ask what performance measures are important in the context of the provision of fire services. The study evaluates annual reports of fire services to determine operational and financial performance in the Australian state of Victoria, which has four different models of fire service provision in three different fire service organisations. The study finds that annual reports are based on financial results, some basic performance measures and narrative describing some operational results. External stakeholders are well served by the financial reports, but find difficulty in assessing operational performance trends and comparative operational performance from these reports. It is difficult to asses the relative performance outcomes of the three different organisations. Few operational indicators are published, despite prior problems in fire services which have lead to parliamentary enquiries. The lack of useful performance measures impacts negatively on the demonstration of accountability to external stakeholders.

description: Mammals differ in their regeneration potential after traumatic injury, which might be caused by species-specific regeneration programs. Here, we compared murine and human Schwann cell (SC) response to injury and developed an ex vivo injury model employing surgery-derived human sural nerves. Transcriptomic and lipid metabolism analysis of murine SCs following injury of sural nerves revealed down-regulation of lipogenic genes and regulator of lipid metabolism, including Pparg (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma) and S1P (sphingosine-1-phosphate). Human SCs failed to induce similar adaptations following ex vivo nerve injury. Pharmacological PPARg and S1P stimulation in mice resulted in up-regulation of lipid gene expression, suggesting a role in SCs switching towards a myelinating state. Altogether, our results suggest that murine SC switching towards a repair state is accompanied by transcriptome and lipidome adaptations, which are reduced in humans.

description: Simple Summary The Casein Kinase 1 (CK1) family of serine-threonine specific protein kinases regulates the activity of key regulatory proteins and signaling pathways being involved in embryonic development but also in the adult organism. Furthermore, it plays an important role in the regulation of proliferation, differentiation, apoptotic processes, circadian rhythm, chromosome segregation, and other microtubule-associated processes. Deregulation of CK1 expression and activity, as well as mutations in the coding region, contribute to the development of many human pathologies, including cancer. Alternations in the site-specific phosphorylation of α/β-tubulin and microtubule-associated proteins affect microtubule stability, finally resulting in mitotic defects and genomic instability. Here we review our knowledge about CK1 functions in general and especially in chromosome segregation. Furthermore, an update in modulating CK1 activity by small molecule inhibitors and peptides specifically inhibiting CK1 protein interactions as new therapy concepts for the treatment of cancer will be discussed. Abstract Protein kinases of the Casein Kinase 1 family play a vital role in the regulation of numerous cellular processes. Apart from functions associated with regulation of proliferation, differentiation, or apoptosis, localization of several Casein Kinase 1 isoforms to the centrosome and microtubule asters also implicates regulatory functions in microtubule dynamic processes. Being localized to the spindle apparatus during mitosis Casein Kinase 1 directly modulates microtubule dynamics by phosphorylation of tubulin isoforms. Additionally, site-specific phosphorylation of microtubule-associated proteins can be related to the maintenance of genomic stability but also microtubule stabilization/destabilization, e.g., by hyper-phosphorylation of microtubule-associated protein 1A and RITA. Consequently, approaches interfering with Casein Kinase 1-mediated microtubule-specific functions might be exploited as therapeutic strategies for the treatment of cancer. Currently pursued strategies include the development of Casein Kinase 1 isoform-specific small molecule inhibitors and therapeutically useful peptides specifically inhibiting kinase-substrate interactions.

Mueller matrix-based system to perform opto-electrical characterization of polarization-sensitive DWDM photonic integrated circuits
Creators: name: Desfonds, Eric
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: The implementation of a novel analysis system to characterize rapidly and accurately polarization-sensitive dense wavelength division multiplexing photonic integrated circuits is detailed within this document. The acquisition and subsequent analysis of passive optical insertion loss and absolute responsivity spectrum of MetroPhotonics Inc.'s products shall be discussed. Polarization-maintaining fibers are typically manually calibrated and rotated to evaluate the performance of such devices under extreme orthogonal states of polarization, known as transverse electrical and transverse magnetic modes. This highly manual measurement technique has proven unsuitable for a mass production environment. Device Mueller matrix terms used in conjunction with advanced analysis algorithms have been used to evaluate the performance of these devices for any desired state of polarization, with largely increased overall testing capacity, accuracy and repeatability. Different novel analysis algorithms have been evaluated to isolate the orthogonal input TE and TM spectrum, while still providing the extremes of insertion loss and/or responsivity at each wavelength steps across the operating wavelength range. The algorithms described herein to recover said spectra are novel as, to our knowledge, nothing equivalent has yet been reported in any scientific literature. This technique has enabled the Test and Measurement group of MetroPhotonics Inc. to provide new insight in the polarization-dependent performance of different planar waveguide photonic integrated circuit products, while providing more accurate process related metrics to the fabrication and design groups. These efforts culminated in the delivery of fully calibrated MetroPhotonics SurePath(TM) portfolio products to customers.

Parental presence during paediatric trauma resuscitation: Health care professionals' attitudes and beliefs
Creators: name: Shephard, Allyson Lee
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Nursing.
subject: Health Sciences, Public Health.

description: A qualitative study, using interpretive description, was conducted at a tertiary paediatric hospital. Its purpose was to determine attitudes and beliefs of nurses and physicians about parental presence during paediatric trauma resuscitations in the Emergency Department. Parental presence was believed to have both benefits and problems for patients, parents and the trauma team. Registered nurses and physicians expressed largely similar attitudes and beliefs related to parental presence. These depended heavily on context. Most participants believed presence was appropriate with stable children and when death was imminent. In between these two ends of the continuum, participants had greater variability in their attitudes and beliefs. Findings provide insight into how health care professionals believe they can deliver the highest quality technical care for the patient while meeting the psychosocial needs of all involved. Relevance of the findings to family centred-care is discussed. Implications for nursing practice, education and research are identified.

description: Evolutionary changes in geographic distribution and larval host plants may promote the rapid diversification of montane insects, but this scenario has been rarely investigated. We studied the rapid radiation of the butterfly genus Colias, which has diversified in mountain ecosystems in Eurasia, Africa, and the Americas. Based on a dataset of 150 nuclear protein-coding genetic loci and mitochondrial genomes, we constructed a time-calibrated phylogenetic tree of Colias species with broad taxon sampling. We then inferred their ancestral geographic ranges, historical diversification rates, and the evolution of host use. We found that the most recent common ancestor of Colias was likely geographically widespread and originated ~3.5 Ma. The group subsequently diversified in different regions across the world, often in tandem with geographic expansion events. No aspect of elevation was found to have a direct effect on diversification. The genus underwent a burst of diversification soon after the divergence of the Neotropical lineage, followed by an exponential decline in diversification rate toward the present. The ancestral host repertoire included the legume genera Astragalus and Trifolium but later expanded to include a wide range of Fabaceae genera and plants in more distantly related families, punctuated with periods of host range expansion and contraction. We suggest that the widespread distribution of the ancestor of all extant Colias lineages set the stage for diversification by isolation of populations that locally adapted to the various different environments they encountered, including different host plants. In this scenario, elevation is not the main driver but might have accelerated diversification by isolating populations.
