description: G292.0+1.8 is the Cas A-like supernova remnant containing the young pulsar PSR J1124-5916, which powers a compact torus-like pulsar wind nebula with a jet visible in X-rays. We have performed deep optical observations of the pulsar field to detect the optical counterpart of the pulsar and its nebula. The observations were carried out using the direct imaging mode of FORS2 at the ESO VLT/UT1 telescope in the V, R, and I bands. We also analyzed archival images obtained with the Chandra/ACIS-I, ACIS-S, and HRC-S in X-rays. In all three optical bands we detect a faint elliptical nebulosity, whose brightness peak and center position are consistent at a sub-arcsecond level with the X-ray position of the pulsar. The field is densely packed with background stars, but after subtraction of these stars the morphology of the object and the orientation of its major axis appear to be in a good agreement with the brightest inner part of the pulsar nebula torus region seen almost edge on in X-rays. Within the nebulosity we do not resolve any point-like optical object that could be identified with the pulsar and estimate its contribution to the observed nebulosity flux as

description: PURPOSE The discovery of the oestrogen and her-2 receptor proteins paved the way for the subsequent development of adjunctive therapeutic options for the treatment of breast cancer. The advancement of proteomic technology has enabled the identification of such unique proteins differentially expressed in a range of disease states including breast cancer. It is our aim to use this technique to identify potential target molecules for future therapy. METHODS Breast cancer samples weighing 100mg were obtained from patients in Tasmania and Greece. Normal breast tissue was obtained as control from patients undergoing reduction mammoplasty. Sample preparation was performed using a sequential extraction protocol to yield two solutions per tissue sample. This was followed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and resultant gels analyzed using PDQuest software. RESULTS Quantitative analysis revealed a 5-fold increased expression of 54 spots and decreased expression of 20 spots in breast cancer versus normal tissue using solution 2 and 3 extracted gel images. All such identified spots were located within pI (Iso-electric point) 6.0-8.2 and molecular weight 25-75kDa. Further detailed analysis enabled the identification of a number of spots showing differential expression by clinical stage including metastatic cancer, histological subtype, racial subgroup and amongst familial cancers. CONCLUSION The further characterization of identified spots will involve the exclusion of known markers using immunoblotting techniques with unknown spots subjected to mass spectrometric analysis or amino acid sequence determination. This approach may allow the identification of new diagnostic and/or therapeutic targets.

description: Cellular membranes are a heterogeneous mix of lipids, proteins and small molecules. Special groupings of saturated lipids and cholesterol form a liquid-ordered phase, known as `lipid rafts,' serving as platforms for signaling, trafficking and material transport throughout the secretory pathway. Questions remain as to how the cell maintains heterogeneity of a fluid membrane with multiple phases, through time, on a length-scale consistent with the fact that no large-scale phase separation is observed. We have utilized a combination of mechanical modeling and in vitro experiments to show that membrane morphology can be a key player in maintaining this heterogeneity and organizing such domains in the membrane. We demonstrate that lipid domains can adopt a flat or dimpled morphology, where the latter facilitates a repulsive interaction that slows coalescence and tends to organize domains. These forces, that depend on domain morphology, play an important role in regulating lipid domain size and in the lateral organization of lipids in the membrane.

description: A majority of the world's largest net-based fisheries target planktivorous forage fish that serve as a critical trophic link between the plankton and upper-level consumers. Because the plankton production that drives forage fish also drives jellyfish production, these taxa often overlap in space, time, and diet. This overlap leads to predatory and potential competitive interactions. The trophic interplay between these groups is made more complex by the harvest of forage fish, which presumably releases jellyfish from competition for shared prey. To understand the roles forage fish and jellyfish play as alternate energy transfer pathways, we explored how functional group productivity in three coastal ecosystems changed when jellyfish were abundant and when fishing was reduced using ecosystem modeling.

Therefore various modes are currently being tested at the Karlsruhe Research Accelerator (KARA) including optics for a negative momentum compaction factor. These optics have been calculated and are under commissioning at KARA. Additionally, studies about expected collective effects in this regime are being performed, including the head-tail and microbunching instabilities. In this contribution we will present the status of operation in the negative momentum compaction regime and discuss expected collective effects that will be studied in this context.

Studies on comminution.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The physical quantity of the square of tensile strength over Young’s modulus has been proposed as a criterion of comminution of rock by Oka and Majima. The value was determined for five different rocks, measuring tensile strength and Young's modulus. The testing method used to determine both rock properties was a point-load tensile strength test and measurement of propagation velocity of P-wave. In order to verify the applicability of the criterion thus obtained, the drop-weight impact test and ball mill grinding were carried out using the identical specimen used for tensile strength and Young's modulus test. The experimental result was obtained that the square of tensile strength is more applicable than the square of tensile strength over Young's modulus. In chapter 2, grinding tests were performed with a 12 inch batch mill. A torque meter was installed to estimate the energy consumption.necessary to achieve size reduction. From the torque measurement, the required torque for the mill turning remained almost constant regardless of the material being ground. A new concept, Energy Index, was introduced to evaluate grinding results and to study grinding problems. For each rock sample tested, the energy index was determined from torque measurements and the quantity of the products. It was found the energy index has a linear relationship with Bond work index under selected grinding condition.

description: We show that the slowing of the dynamics in simulations of several model glass-forming liquids is equivalent to the hard-sphere glass transition in the low-pressure limit. In this limit, we find universal behavior of the relaxation time by collapsing molecular-dynamics data for all systems studied onto a single curve as a function of $T/p$, the ratio of the temperature to the pressure. At higher pressures, there are deviations from this universal behavior that depend on the inter-particle potential, implying that additional physical processes must enter into the dynamics of glass-formation.

description: The luminosity performance for an electron-ion collider demands high-current operation for both the electron and ion beams, for a wide range of collision energies. This poses many challenges on the beam stability with regard to collective effects. In this paper, we present preliminary estimations of coherent instabilities for both of the EIC designs, i.e. JLEIC and eRHIC. Mitigation mechanisms or schemes envisioned for suppression of the instabilities are also discussed.

Western Mediterranean Sea (ICES adjacent region)

description: The scyphozoan Pelagia noctiluca is one of the most abundant species of jellyfish in the western Mediterranean Sea and its population seems to be increasing. It is a voracious predator, consuming fish larvae, fish eggs, and the foods of zooplanktivorous fish. The heavy dependence of the economies of many Mediterranean European countries on fisheries highlights the need to understand the potential impacts of this jellyfish on commercial fish populations. In the frame of the Spanish National Project FISHJELLY, we investigated the potential impacts of P. noctiluca on fish larva populations during two oceanographic cruises along the Catalan coast in the summers of 2011 and 2012. On each cruise, 81 stations were sampled to determine the distributions and abundances of gelatinous predators and their prey (zoo- and ichthyoplankton). Here we present the spatial overlaps of P. noctiluca, zooplankton, and ichthyoplankton, and the predation impacts, calculated from the numbers of prey eaten, the digestion times, and their abundances in situ.

description: In this paper, a simple 1D crowd model is proposed, which aim is to properly describe the crowd-flow phenomena occurring when pedestrians walk on a flexible footbridge. The crowd is assumed to behave like a continuous compressible fluid and the pedestrian flow is modeled in a 1-D framework using the (total) mass (of pedestrians) conservation equation. This crowd model is then coupled with a simple model for the dynamical behavior of the footbridge and an optimized modeling of synchronization effects is performed. Numerical simulations are presented to show some preliminary results.

description: Purpose – LibQUAL+® allows users to rate their minimum, perceived, and desired levels of service for 22 items in three dimensions: information control, library as place, and service affect. Using the results from the 2005 survey at the University of Texas at Austin, this paper aims to examine how well the service priorities of library staff are aligned with the priorities of undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty. Design/methodology/approach – The paper has re-scaled the "desired" score for each item to reflect the degree to which the item is above or below the average desired level for that individual. The rescaled scores (termed "priority" scores) for the 22 items were then compared between the four groups using a multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). Findings – Preliminary results indicate that service priorities for library staff align more closely with those of undergraduates than with those of graduate students and faculty. Practical implications – This analysis is a first step in identifying service priority gaps between library staff and the users they serve. The intention is to promote discussion among library staff about users' needs and how closely staff service priorities align with those needs. In addition, the findings may prove useful as management information by allowing the analysis of users' service priorities and integrating the results of this analysis into organizational decision making and planning processes. Originality/value – This paper describes a development of LibQUAL+® that enables a greater depth of understanding of service priorities.
Enhanced scattering of laser light by optical mixing in a plasma
Creators: name: Stansfield, Barry Lionel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The enhancement of the scattered light signal due to the mixing of two optical beams in a plasma has been observed. The two beams are produced in a dual-cavity organic dye laser pumped by a Q-switched ruby laser. The plasma is generated by a Helium plasma jet. In normal scattering a distinct satellite is observed on either side of the incident ruby wavelength 6943Å. The presence of enhanced oscillations is demonstrated by a significant increase in the intensity of one of these satellites when the dye lasers are tuned such that the difference in their frequencies is equal to the normally-observed resonant frequency of the plasma.
The effect of surface structures on the physicochemical characteristics and attachment capability of Salmonella
Creators: name: Chia, Teck Wah Raymond
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Salmonella enterica, one of the most important foodborne pathogens, is often acquired through the consumption of contaminated food of animal origin such as poultry and eggs. In Australia, Salmonella enterica subspecies II 4,12:b- (S. Sofia) is the predominant serovar isolated from poultry. Salmonella Sofia may be regarded as having relatively low virulence for humans as it is rarely associated with human disease in comparison with subspecies I serovars. Salmonella have been recovered from a wide range of food contact surfaces and equipment because of their ability to attach to different surfaces in the food processing environment. Understanding how Salmonella attach to different surfaces may provide insight into their potential persistence within food environments and their subsequent contamination of foods. Bacterial attachment is influenced by a number of bacterial surface properties, including physicochemical characteristics, surface structures and protein expression. The aims of this study were to: 1) characterise the surface properties of 25 Salmonella isolates including reference strain S. Typhimurium ATCC 14028. Most strains studied were from poultry (22 out of 25 isolates) although human isolates (three out of 25 isolates) were also included. The strains used in this study, represent the four most common serovars (S. Sofia (n=14), S. Typhimurium (n=6), S. Infantis (n=3) and S. Virchow (n=2)) isolated from poultry in Australia; 2) determine the role of these surface properties in the initial attachment of Salmonella to glass, stainless steel, plastic, Teflon¬¨vÜand rubber; 3) determine if surface structures, such as outer membrane proteins (OMP) and cellulose, could influence the hydrophobicity and attachment ability of bacteria to different surfaces and 4) investigate whether the initial attachment of Salmonella to glass, stainless steel, Teflon¬¨vÜand chicken skin was a stochastic process or not. The experimental stochastic attachment data was also compared to the extended Derjaguin-LandauVerwey-Overbeek (XDLVO) theory to determine if the theory can predict initial attachment.

The influence of this medium on the particle dynamics is modeled by a piecewise constant random force. The long-time behavior of the particle position is studied in the frame of a continuous-time random walk on a semi-infinite one-dimensional lattice. We formulate the conditions for anomalous diffusion, derive the diffusion laws and analyze their dependence on the particle mass and the distribution of the random force.

description: The collective beam instabilities are potential restrictions in the Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) to achieve high luminosity performance. These instabilities can induce beam quality degradation or beam losses. Different strategies used to mitigate these effects are discussed. The impedances of the dominant contributors are carefully designed and optimized to either reduce the parasitic power dissipation or increase the beam instability threshold. The bunch filling patterns are also optimized to fight the beam ion instability, the electron cloud build-up and the transient beam loading effect.

The Axis Mundi : the role of community gatherings in cultural development
Creators: name: Cameron, Roger Neil Kennedy
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Gatherings have always been vital to community development because they bring about important social alignments within any group: festivals, rites of passage, celebrations, rituals and ceremonies are essential parts of our development as human beings. Homo sapiens sapiens survived by working together as cohesive groups and the human animal has evolved various susceptibilities that lean towards these kinds of community experiences. Billions of dollars are spent on these events around the world; hundreds of thousands of people work to bring them about; and they can be found in almost every community on Earth. Yet there is surprisingly little research on their evolutionary relationships and common structures. This thesis examines these community gatherings or 'tuning' processes with the aim of producing a system of understandings that illuminates their inner workings. It is hoped that such a system of analysis will aid cultural development processes in communities and be of benefit to the designers of these vital events. Community gatherings are examined through field studies in India, Australia, the United Kingdom and Ireland, as well as the author's own extensive practice of organising such events for over forty years. This critical reflection on community gatherings reveals certain commonalities of dynamics, forms and processes, and these insights inform the development of a system of understanding, the Axis Mundi Analytical System ‚ÄövÑvÆ AMAS. Contemporary, historical and pre-historical events are investigated in the light of this analytical system and various international examples are used to illustrate its application. This study is significant because it provides a theoretically enriched, practice-informed framework intended to be of real interest to designers of community gatherings as a tool to understanding the social and cultural dynamics that they work with and provide a mechanism to help them organise gatherings that enhance community development to its fullest potential.

description: Fishery management production models tend to stress only the elements directly linked to fish. Large coastal jellyfish are major plankton consumers in heavily-fished ecosystems; yet, they are routinely not included as model components. We explore the relationship between gulf menhaden (Brevoortia patronus) and the large scyphozoan jellyfish (Aurelia spp. and Chrysaora sp.) and provide an examination of trophic energy transfer pathways in the northern Gulf of Mexico. We used a novel energy-flow model developed within the ECOPATH framework. Relative changes in functional group productivity to varying menhaden, jellyfish, and forage fish (i.e., menhaden, anchovies, and herrings) consumption rates were evaluated with static scenarios using ECOTRAN techniques. Scenario analyses revealed forage fish harvest enhanced jellyfish productivity, which in turn, depressed menhaden productivity. Modeled increases in forage fish harvest caused pronounced changes in ecosystem structure, affecting jellyfish, seabirds, and piscivorous and apex predatory fishes. Menhaden were found to be a more direct and important energy transfer pathway compared to jellyfish. Increasing jellyfish caused the relative productivity of all functional groups to decline. Outcomes indicate jellyfish blooms and forage fish harvest can demonstrably affect the structure of the northern Gulf of Mexico ecosystem.

description: Using the results for participating Association of Research Libraries from the 2006 LibQUAL+® library service quality survey, we examine the service priorities of library staff (for example, whether desired scores for each survey item are above or below average) and the extent to which they are aligned with the priorities of undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty. Item priorities were compared among the four groups using hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) to correct for the non-independence of responses within institutions. Results indicate that substantial misalignments between library staff and users exist; library staff set a lower service priority for most LibQUAL+® Information Control items and a higher priority on almost all Affect of Service items than did users.

description: In recent years, interactions between caged finfish and jellyfish have been increasingly reported, with major fish mortalities and severe economic impacts to aquaculture facilities. The scyphomedusa Pelagia noctiluca has been responsible for documented mortality events in Eastern Atlantic (Irish Sea) and the Mediterranean Sea. We investigated the impact of P. noctiluca stings on the gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) in laboratory experiments. Fish were pulse-incubated for 8 hours with 3 different jellyfish densities in experimental tanks. Gill disorders were assessed through histological analyses at time intervals (0, 3, 9, 24, and 48 h, and 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks) after the pulse exposure to jellyfish. Our results demonstrated that P. noctiluca may severely affect caged sea bream gill integrity as soon as 3 h after interaction with jellyfish tissues.

description: We report the formation of sub-5 nm ultrashallow junctions in 4 inch Si wafers enabled by the molecular monolayer doping of phosphorous and boron atoms and the use of conventional spike annealing. The junctions are characterized by secondary ion mass spectrometry and non-contact sheet resistance measurements. It is found that the majority (~70%) of the incorporated dopants are electrically active, therefore, enabling a low sheet resistance for a given dopant areal dose. The wafer-scale uniformity is investigated and found to be limited by the temperature homogeneity of the spike anneal tool used in the experiments. Notably, minimal junction leakage currents (<1 uA/cm2) are observed which highlights the quality of the junctions formed by this process. The results clearly demonstrate the versatility and potency of the monolayer doping approach for enabling controlled, molecular-scale ultrashallow junction formation without introducing defects in the semiconductor.

description: Morels (Morchella spp.) are valuable medicinal and edible mushrooms. In this study, chemical profiles of aromas and lipophilic extracts of black morel (Morchella importuna) grown in China were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy, along with the evaluation of antioxidant and antimicrobial activities for the lipophilic extracts. Sixty-five compounds in total were identified from the aromas, and 1-octen-3-ol was the main component for aromas of fresh (34.40%) and freeze-dried (68.61%) black morels, while the most abundant compound for the aroma of the oven-dried sample was 2(5H)-furanone (13.95%). From the lipophilic extracts, 29 compounds were identified with linoleic acid as the main compound for fresh (77.37%) and freeze-dried (56.46%) black morels and steroids (92.41%) as the main constituent for an oven-dried sample. All three lipophilic extracts showed moderate antioxidant activities against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) with the IC50 values ranging 7.56 ∼ 17.52 mg/mL and 5.75 ∼ 9.73 mg/mL, respectively, and no obvious antimicrobial activity was observed for lipophilic extracts. The drying methods affect the chemical profile of black morel, and freeze-drying was favorable for retaining nutrients and morel smell. This is the first report on the aroma and lipophilic extracts of M. importuna grown in China.

description: Several "official" and formal guidelines that attempt to define the scope of fair use for specific applications—notably for education, research, and library services—have emerged in the years since passage of the Copyright Act of 1976. Although some interested parties and some governmental agencies have welcomed these guidelines, none of them ever has had the force of law. This article analyzes the origins of guidelines, the various governmental documents and court rulings that reference the guidelines, and the substantive content of the guidelines themselves to demonstrate that in fact the guidelines bear little relationship, if any, to the law of fair use. The guidelines are negotiated resolutions of conflicts regarding fair use, and yet they are often presented as standards to which one must adhere in order to remain within the law. This article further analyzes the guidelines from a conceptual perspective and finds that the process of developing the guidelines gives them the appearance of a normative quality, while the portrayal of the guidelines as formal standards sanctioned by authoritative structures gives them the appearance of positive law. These qualities are merely illusory, and consequently the guidelines have had a seriously detrimental effect. They interfere with an actual understanding of the law and erode confidence in the law as created by Congress and the courts. Because pressure to develop additional guidelines appears inevitable, this article identifies deficiencies in the guidelines of the past and concludes with recommendations for improving the processes for, and the outcome of, future efforts to development new guidelines that interpret and apply the law of fair use.
Hydrogen production performance modelling using intelligent techniques

description: Electrolytic hydrogen production can be seen as the binding element in utilising and storing renewable energies towards a sustainable and environmentally compatible energy supply. In this thesis comprehensive literature review on hydrogen production with emphasises on electrolysis of water and various conventional models has been conducted. Furthermore, literature survey on applied Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) elucidates architecture, functionality and application in detail. This study provided predictive hydrogen production performance models for a commercial PEM-electrolyzer. Two different approaches using intelligent techniques have been conducted. The first employs ANN and the second uses a hybrid model ANFIS as time series prediction combining fuzzy logic and Neural Networks. An experimental apparatus has been developed to measure and model specific performance parameters such as hydrogen flow rate, system-efficiency and stack-efficiency. A comprehensive range of experimental conditions were tested as part of the investigation that covers a wide range of input variables and their influence on the output performance. The various parameters have been obtained using the electrolyzers' internal software (windows diagnostic) and additional sensors measuring power and feed water parameters, such as water quality, water pressure, system temperature, stack current, stack voltage, system power consumption, system pressure, product pressure and lower explosive limit. Synchronous data-acquisition of all parameters was carried out with National Instruments LabVIEW software to build a database. The database formed the foundation for the predictive models, where experimental data were used to train and test the developed hydrogen production performance models. Verification of those models was carried out by comparison of predicted and measured data. It is argued that, due to the high costs associated with the hydrogen measuring equipment; these reliable predictive models can be implemented as virtual sensors.

Barents Sea (ICES Ecoregion)

description: Data over a period 1993–2013 were used to explore the following questions: Does scyphozoan jellyfish limit habitat for the Barents Sea species during the late feeding period. The area of high concentration of both studied species and jellyfish and area free for high jellyfish concentration were estimated and response of jellyfish overlap on krill/fish was tested by GAM. The area of co-occurrence of high fish/krill and jellyfish densities were positive correlated with species biomass indices/estimates (0-gr capelin, 0-gr herring, capelin (age 1-2), young herring and blue whiting, indicating that higher densities of jellyfish not necessarily limit fish aggregations. At the same time larger area free for high amount of jellyfish were associated with larger 0-gr capelin, 0-gr cod, capelin (1-2) and young herring indices/estimates. In years with low jellyfish indices, jellyfish has no effect on fish/krill densities, while in other years fish/krill were low with low jellyfish, increased with increased jellyfish densities, and fall with very high jellyfish densities. This most likely indicated that very high jellyfish densities have potential to limit 0-gr cod, 0-gr haddock and 0-gr polar cod habitat. However, co-occurrence of high densities of both jellyfish and fish/krill indicated most likely a high productive area.

description: The application of antagonistic fungi for plant protection has attracted considerable interest because they may potentially replace the use of chemical pesticides. Antipathogenic activities confirmed in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from microorganisms have potential to serve as biocontrol agents against pre- and post-harvest diseases. In the present study, we investigated Galactomyces fungi isolated from rotten leaves and the rhizosphere of cherry tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum var. cerasiforme). VOCs produced by Galactomyces fungi negatively affected the growth of phytopathogenic fungi and the survival of nematodes. Mycelial growths of all nine examined phytopathogenic fungi were inhibited on agar plate, although the inhibition was more intense in Athelia rolfsii JYC2163 and Cladosporium cladosporioides JYC2144 and relatively moderate in Fusarium sp. JYC2145. VOCs also efficiently suppressed the spore germination and mycelial growth of A. rolfsii JYC2163 on tomatoes. The soil nematode Caenorhabditis elegans exhibited higher mortality in 24 h in the presence of VOCs. These results suggest the broad-spectrum activity of Galactomyces fungi against various plant pathogens and the potential to use VOCs from Galactomyces as biocontrol agents.
