description: Australian counter terrorism governance has necessarily evolved in response to the dynamic nature of terrorism. This evolution has failed in to include a role for local governments within the all levels approach outlined by the government. This thesis demonstrates that the evolution of Australia's counter terrorism governance has led to vulnerabilities at the local government level within the context of the current terrorism environment. A four phased mixed method approach was adopted drawing on a sequential application of a review of academic theory, thematic mapping of Australian counter terrorism governance, case study and the adoption of the SWOT analytical framework. This mixed method approach concluded that the absence of local government from the strategic approach to counter terrorism failed to utilise the significant capabilities and resources available at the local level. This thesis identifies the risks and opportunities for local government involvement, making a number of recommendations to develop a future role at this level.

description: Перспективные направления рационального питания базируются на оценке биологической ценности пищи. Полученные комплексы неоднозначно оказывают воздействие на гомеостаз человека, поэтому использование новых ингредиентов, обладающих повышенной биологической активностью, требует всестороннего исследования. Однако создание полноценных пищевых продуктов невозможно без введения пищевых добавок различного технологического назначения в рецептуру продуктов как животного, так и растительного происхождения. Поэтому научное обоснование и формирование новых концепций для организации производства продуктов здорового питания своевременны и актуальны. Целью исследования является разработка продуктов питания повышенной пищевой ценности из районированного сырья. На основании статистических данных прослеживается тенденция резкого снижения концентрации основных питательных веществ: витаминов, макрои микроэлементов, белков, содержащих комплекс незаменимых аминокислот, и других биологически активных веществ в рационе питания населения. Это связано с ухудшением качества потребительской корзины и вызвано экономическими реорганизациями, проходящими в России: уменьшением ассортимента и объемов производства продуктов питания, последовательным ростом их цен и уменьшением доходов населения. Методы исследования: органолептические, физико-химические, микробиологические. Научная новизна работы: обоснован выбор растительной добавки для создания мясорастительных фаршей функционального назначения; установлена ее концентрация из морковного, тыквенного и капустного пюре в количестве 13–15 %; произведен анализ химического состава и пищевой ценности овощных добавок и мясного фарша для обоснования выбора овощного сырья. Использование продуктов переработки растительного сырья в производстве хлебобулочных и мучных изделий расширит ассортимент этих групп пищевых продуктов, будет способствовать повышению их биологической ценности. Установлено, что оптимальная концентрация функциональных добавок порошка ламинарии и облепихи в образцах блинчиков из рисовой муки составляет 2,5 %, а также что максимальная амилолитическая активность зерновых и бобовых солодов при 40 °С. Нарастание и спад амилолитической активности бобовых и зерновых солодовых препаратов существенно отличаются между собой. Максимальная активность отмечена у тритикалевого солода, а наименьшая – у солода из гороха.

description: Recently, at least 50 million of novel examples of compact $G_2$ holonomy manifolds have been constructed as twisted connected sums of asymptotically cylindrical Calabi-Yau threefolds. The purpose of this paper is to study mirror symmetry for compactifications of Type II superstrings in this context. We focus on $G_2$ manifolds obtained from building blocks constructed from dual pairs of tops, which are the closest to toric CY hypersurfaces, and formulate the analogue of the Batyrev mirror map for this class of $G_2$ holonomy manifolds, thus obtaining several millions of novel dual superstring backgrounds. In particular, this leads us to conjecture a plethora of novel exact dualities among the corresponding 2d N=1 sigma models.

description: AIMS: To survey current anaesthesia practices for dogs and cats in small and mixed animal practices in New Zealand in order to improve anaesthesia education. METHODS: A questionnaire was sent to 440 small and mixed animal practices, including questions regarding the type of practice, preanaesthetic examination, anaesthetic drugs and management, anaesthetic machines, monitoring and topics of interest for continuing professional development. RESULTS: Responses were obtained from 113/440 (26%) practices, with 78 (69%) respondents from small and 35 (31%) from mixed animal practices. A preanaesthetic physical examination was carried out by >95% of respondents and premedication was usually given to dogs (112/113; 99%) and cats (95/113; 85%). Acepromazine was the preferred sedative for dogs and cats, with morphine or buprenorphine. Propofol and alfaxalone were the preferred induction agents, and isoflurane was preferred for maintenance in both dogs and cats. A venous catheter was usually placed for anaesthesia in dogs (59/113; 52%), but less so in cats (39/113; 35%). Perioperative fluid was administered at 10 mL/kg/hour by 62/110 (56%) respondents. Intubation was usually used for anaesthesia in dogs (111/112; 99%), and cats (87/112; 78%). Almost 40% of respondents usually administered supplementary oxygen if patients were not intubated. Local analgesia was used by 69/111 (88%) respondents sometimes or always if applicable. Morphine or buprenorphine, and meloxicam were common choices for post-operative analgesia after neuter surgery in dogs and cats. A semiclosed (non-rebreathing) system was used in animals weighing <10 kg, and a Mapleson E or F non-rebreathing circuit was used by 66/109 (61%) practices. Only 15/111 (14%) practices had a ventilator in their practice. A dedicated anaesthetist was usually used by 104/113 (92%) practices, and apnoea alarms, pulse oximeters, thermometers and oesophageal stethoscopes were the main monitoring devices available in practices. Loco-regional block, pain management, and anaesthetic drugs were the main topics of interest for continuing education. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Responses by the veterinarians taking part in this survey indicated that they had a reasonably good standard of anaesthetic practice. A physical examination was carried out preanaesthesia, and premedication including analgesia was routinely administered to most patients. A dedicated anaesthetist usually monitored patients and most respondents reported they had access to basic anaesthetic monitoring equipment. Areas where changes could lead to improved anaesthetic practice were increased use of I/V catheterisation, endotracheal intubation, and supplementary oxygen, and reduced I/V fluid rates.

description: Magnetic structure of the multiferroic Ca$_{2}$CoSi$_{2}$O$_{7}$ was determined by neutron diffraction techniques. Combination of the polycrystalline and single-crystal samples experiments revealed a collinear antiferromagnetic structure with the easy axis along $$ directions. The dielectric state was discussed in the framework of the spin-dependent $d$-$p$ hybridization mechanism, leading to the realization of the antiferroelectric structure. The origin of the magnetic anisotropy was discussed in comparison with the isostructural Ba$_{2}$CoGe$_{2}$O$_{7}$.

description: В обзоре представлен анализ литературных сведений на тему природных компонентов биоразлагаемых полимеров и технологических решений их производства с учетом мировых тенденций объемов роста. Отмечается рост разработок, посвященных составным компонентам композиций, нанокомпозитов и готовых биоразлагаемых изделий. Одним из основных технологических решений проблемы устранения загрязнения окружающей среды является замещение традиционных небиоразлагаемых полимеров композиционными полимерными материалами (КПМ) с заданными физико-механическими свойствами. Перспективным путем для решения задач является создание биоразлагаемых материалов на основе природных компонентов, не наносящих вреда окружающей среде и здоровью человека. Эффективным и экономичным приемом придания синтетическим полимерам биологической разлагаемости является введение в их матрицу возобновляемых наполнителей, и прежде всего крахмала, часто в сочетании с другими ингредиентами, понижающими поверхностное натяжение на границе раздела фаз полимера и модификатора для достижения совместимости компонентов и качества изделий. Полезные свойства нативного и термопластичного (ТПК) крахмала с различными наполнителями и пластификаторами открывают значительные возможности использования КПМ в пищевой промышленности, медицине, сельском хозяйстве и в целом в экологии. Технологические решения получения КПМ перспективны для промышленного освоения, а требованиям качества и разлагаемости диктует соблюдение не только критериев физико-механических свойств полимеров, но и их безопасности, особенно если они разрабатываются для упаковки пищевых изделий.
Belief, agency and negative doxastic control

description: We commonly refer to the actions performed by an individual, which align with their intentions and goals, as expressions of agency. This is due, at least in part, to that individual’s ability to control what they do. It has become near-orthodoxy however to assert an involuntarist position that we have no, or at least very limited, agential control over our beliefs. Two of the most influential defences of the involuntarist account assert that either beliefs are empirically constrained to be more or less passive responses to our available evidence, or that beliefs are conceptually governed only by considerations of what is true. I argue that both of these defences are problematic because what is apparent in their formulation is an overreliance on investigating the control (or lack thereof) that individuals possess in acquiring beliefs. Subsequently, insufficient attention has centred on the control individuals can exhibit over belief removal. Within this context, I defend the two central claims of this thesis, firstly, that the conclusions reached by the prevailing involuntarist arguments do not sufficiently rule out the conceptual viability of doxastic agency. Secondly, that the concept of Negative Doxastic Control - direct control that we can exhibit over the removal of reasonably held beliefs - in conjunction with many of the precepts of the existing literature can widen the lens of our considerations of doxastic agency, showing ultimately that doxastic agency, properly conceived, is indeed conceptually viable.

description: Глюкоза и поваренная соль являются продуктами, необходимыми для организма человека и животных. Кристаллическая глюкоза участвует в энергетическом обмене веществ, обеспечивая все органы и ткани организма биологической энергией. Потребность человека в глюкозе 450 г в сутки в покое и в 2–3 раза более при нагрузках и критических состояниях, организм нуждается в ежедневном пополнении глюкозы с пищей. Не менее важным продуктом для человека является хлористый натрий, который в концентрации 0,5–0,6 % в крови служит основным регулятором осмотического давления в тканях и клетках, регулирует водно-солевой обмен и кислотно-щелочное равновесие в организме, является источником образования соляной кислоты в процессе желудочной секреции, а также меняет вкусовые свойства пищи. В медицине широко применяются растворы глюкозы с хлоридом натрия, которые импортируют из зарубежных стран из‑за отсутствия отечественного производства кристаллической глюкозы. В статье речь идет о разработке порошковой кристаллической формы глюкозного продукта с хлоридом натрия, соединяющего в кристаллической решетке молекулы глюкозы и хлорида натрия в соответствии с химической формулой (C6H12O6)2. NaCl. H2O. Его химический состав – 86 % глюкозы и 14 % хлорида натрия. Наиболее сложной и ответственной стадией его получения является кристаллизация. Определены параметры и разработан технологический режим кристаллизации ДС в политермических условиях при снижении температуры утфеля в течение 7 ч. Готовый продукт ДС представляет собой белый кристаллический порошок соленого вкуса, быстрорастворимый в воде, содержит 96,4–96,8 % СВ, 14–16 % которых составляет хлорид натрия. Получаемые при центрифугировании оттеки с содержанием 14–15 % хлорида натрия возвращают в производство для повторного использования на стадии приготовления исходных растворов. Продукт с высоким экономическим эффектом можно использовать при частичной или полной замене сахара и соли в пищевой промышленности: хлебопечении, изготовлении кондитерских изделий, напитков, плодово-ягодных консервов, засолке мясных и рыбных изделий. При использовании ДС для засолки мясных и рыбных продуктов сокращается время засолки, а изделия по структуре становятся более мягкими и сочными. В качестве энергетического и восполняющего потери влаги средства ДС рекомендуется для применения в спортивной медицине, для работников горячих цехов и других профессий. Кристаллический продукт не имеет аналогов в мире и является перспективным объектом для экспорта.

description: Современная пищевая индустрия столкнулась с дилеммой: с одной стороны, требуются продукты и напитки с большими сроками годности и безопасные, а с другой стороны, потребитель отдает предпочтение продуктам, подвергшимся минимальной переработке и не содержащим химических консервантов. В связи с такими предпочтениями потребителя в пищевой промышленности растет интерес к новой концепции минимальной переработки продукта («минимального процессинга»), а также к использованию микробных метаболитов в качестве биопротекторов, замещающих сегодняшние консерванты. Концепция барьерной технологии применяет минимальный процессинг, который становится возможным благодаря возникновению синергетического эффекта от взаимодействия различных «барьеров», то есть способов предохранения продукта, как новых, так и традиционных. Комбинация барьеров дает многоцелевой ингибирующий эффект, мягкий, но достаточный. Ингредиенты, которые входят в состав пивоваренного сырья, можно использовать для создания дополнительных защитных микробиологических барьеров. Это молочнокислые бактерии (МКБ), действующие как защитная стартовая культура в соложении, а также продуцируемые ими бактериоцины и антифунгальные соединения. Биохимические барьеры, создаваемые молочной кислотой и соединениями хмеля, могут быть скомбинированы с физическими барьерами – пастеризацией, фильтрацией и асептическим розливом, уже используемыми в пивоварении. Определенные сочетания антимикробных барьеров могут обладать синергетическим эффектом, и тогда отдельный барьер может использоваться с меньшей интенсивностью, чем в случае, когда он применяется один. В настоящем обзоре рассматриваются данные о применении низина в пивоварении и виноделии в составе мультибарьерной технологии. Бактериоцин низин класса 1А принят и широко используется более чем в 48 странах в качестве биоконсерванта в различных видах пищевых продуктов. Он эффективен против более чем 90 % грамположительных бактерий, портящих пиво, не действует на пивоваренные дрожжи Saccharomyces и не сказывается отрицательно на органолептических свойствах пива. Поэтому его применение в пивоваренной промышленности считается весьма привлекательным.

description: In view of ever-changing conditions both in the external world and in intrinsic brain states, maintaining the robustness of computations poses a challenge, adequate solutions to which we are only beginning to understand. At the level of cell-intrinsic properties, biophysical models of neurons permit one to identify relevant physiological substrates that can serve as regulators of neuronal excitability and to test how feedback loops can stabilize crucial variables such as long-term calcium levels and firing rates. Mathematical theory has also revealed a rich set of complementary computational properties arising from distinct cellular dynamics and even shaping processing at the network level. Here, we provide an overview over recently explored homeostatic mechanisms derived from biophysical models and hypothesize how multiple dynamical characteristics of cells, including their intrinsic neuronal excitability classes, can be stably controlled.
The question of selective absorption of light in space viewed from the viewpoint of the dynamics of the universe

description: The selective light absorption in space has been raised in astronomical literature. The substance producing the absorption must have some mass; thus the question is how large it is. We develop a dynamical model of the Milky Way system, assuming that it can be represented by a flattened ellipsoid of rotation. We use the spatial distribution of $δ$-Cephei and Algol type variable stars, and mean velocities of stars according to Campbell to calculate the dynamical density of the Milky Way near the Sun, $0.100\,M_\odot/pc^3$. We find that the dynamical density is equal to the mean density of stars in the vicinity of the Sun. Our conclusion is that the intrinsic gravity of stars fully explains their motion, and the existence of any other matter in any significant quantity seems unlikely. Therefore, the existence of noticeable selective absorption seems to be absolutely improbable, unless one admits the existence in the space of particles much smaller than atoms of elements known to us. Normal absorption may exist if the particle diameter is of the order of a millimetre or less, and their mass is comparatively small. This absorption has not yet been reliably detected; the fact that the number of stars increases with stellar magnitude more slowly than theory requires in case of uniform distribution of stars in space, can be equally explained by both light absorption and decrease in number of stars with distance.

That basically contains all the other questions doesn't it?"" Here we exploit the inclusive nature of P versus NP to argue that time-travel, UFOs, and other paranormal phenomena are physically possible, and why the failure of human beings to understand them is born of a failure of human intelligence. Just as the ant is kept by its narrow intelligence from any but a dim understanding of the world of the man, the man in turn is kept by his narrow intelligence from any but a dim understanding of higher worlds.
'Thinking (in) verse': poetic thought as dialectics in rap and contemporary American poetry
Creators: name: Page, Jeremy
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: What does it mean to think poetically? Is thinking something we do separate from artistic creation, or through artistic creation? By drawing together disparate threads in continental philosophy, contemporary American poetry, hip-hop music, and the recent field of cognitive poetics, the thesis argues for an understanding of poetic thought that suggests a (re)introduction of dialectics into the field of poetics. Submitted as a thesis by publication and comprised of a series of integrated articles, three of which have been published during the candidature (with two currently under review), the work is broken into five discrete sections, each examining different forms of dialectics in a broad scope of contemporary poets and artists. Through its consciously interdisciplinary approach, the research presented entails, firstly, a reexamination of Heidegger's phenomenology in Being and Time (1927) in reference to the poetry of Frank O'Hara. The second article outlines the creation of a novel system for musical analysis (what the author calls 'flowprints') in rap. The third article moves to a defence of the ability of certain poetries (such as that of Sharon Olds) to have real world benefits to readers through the promotion of empathy. In the fourth section, the author examines the work of Charles Simic, arguing it should be understood as a poetics of atten(s)ion : an attention to objects in-the-world that enacts the tensions in a phenomenological apprehension of world. Finally, through a consideration of the autobiographical poetry of Charles Bukowski alongside contemporary debates on selfhood, it is argued that poetic thought is able not only to construct biography, but identity. The thesis ultimately argues that poetic thought is best understood as functioning through ontological, rhythmic, emotional, political, and intersubjective tension. Poetic thought is here conceived as the most human(e) way of thinking, not only because it underscores a fundamental aspect of what it means to be human, but because it promotes and encourages a creative embrace of that nature toward creative ends.

description: In holographic applications one can encounter scenarios where a long-wavelength instability can arise. In such situations, it is often the case that the dynamical end point of the instability is a new equilibrium phase with a nonlinear scalar hair condensate outside the black hole horizon. We here review holographic setups where symmetric horizons suffer from long-wavelength instabilities where a suitable equilibrium condensate phase does not exist. We study the dynamics of the simplest model in this exotic class, and show that it uncovers arbitrarily large curvatures in the vicinity of the horizon which asymptotically turn such region singular, at finite time with respect to the boundary theory.

description: A good fit between the person and the organization is essential in a better organizational performance. This is even more crucial in case of institutionalization of a software product line practice within an organization. Employees participation, organizational behavior and management contemplation play a vital role in successfully institutionalizing software product lines in a firm. Organizational dimension has been weighted as one of the critical dimensions in software product line theory and practice. A comprehensive empirical investigation to study the impact of some organizational factors on the performance of software product line practice is presented in this work. This is the first study to empirically investigate and demonstrate the relationships between some of the key organizational factors and software product line performance of an organization. The results of this investigation provide empirical evidence and further support the theoretical foundations that in order to institutionalize software product lines within an organization, organizational factors play an important role.

description: In this paper the dynamical spin effects of the light-front holographic wavefunctions for light pseudoscalar mesons are studied using two different assumptions. These improved wavefunctions are then confronted with a number of sensitive hadronic observables: the decay constants of $π$ and $K$ mesons, their $ξ$-moments, the pion-to-photon transition form factor, and the pure annihilation $\bar{B}_{s}\to π^+ π^-$ and $\bar{B}_{d}\to K^+K^-$ decays. Taking $f_π$, $f_{K}$ and their ratio $f_{K}/f_π$ as constraint conditions, the $χ^2$ analyses for holographic parameters, including the mass scale parameter $\sqrtλ$ and effective quark masses, are all consistent with the mass scale which controls the slopes of the light-quark hadronic Regge trajectories. In addition, we also show how the improved light-front holographic distribution amplitudes regulate the end-point divergences which appear in the annihilation amplitudes of $B\to PP$ decays.

description: It is demonstrated that the crossover between gas- and liquid-like regions on the phase diagram of the Lennard-Jones system occurs at a fixed value of the density divided by its value at the freezing point, $ρ/ρ_{\rm fr}\simeq 0.35$. This definition is consistent with other definitions proposed recently. As a result a very simple practical expression for the gas-to-liquid crossover line emerges.

description: Core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) are the extremely energetic deaths of massive stars. They play a vital role in the synthesis and dissemination of many heavy elements in the universe. In the past, CCSN nucleosynthesis calculations have relied on artificial explosion methods that do not adequately capture the physics of the innermost layers of the star. The PUSH method, calibrated against SN1987A, utilizes the energy of heavy-flavor neutrinos emitted by the proto-neutron star (PNS) to trigger parametrized explosions. This makes it possible to follow the consistent evolution of the PNS and to ensure a more accurate treatment of the electron fraction of the ejecta. Here, we present the Iron group nucleosynthesis results for core-collapse supernovae, exploded with PUSH, for two different progenitor series. Comparisons of the calculated yields to observational metal-poor star data are also presented. Nucleosynthesis yields will be calculated for all elements and over a wide range of progenitor masses. These yields can be immensely useful for models of galactic chemical evolution.

description: We use molecular simulation to study the structural and dynamic properties of glassy nanoclusters formed both through the direct condensation of the vapor below the glass transition temperature, without the presence of a substrate, and \textit{via} the slow supercooling of unsupported liquid nanodroplets. An analysis of local structure using Voronoi polyhedra shows that the energetic stability of the clusters is characterized by a large, increasing fraction of bicapped square antiprism motifs. We also show that nanoclusters with similar inherent structure energies are structurally similar, independent of their history, which suggests the supercooled clusters access the same low energy regions of the potential energy landscape as the vapor condensed clusters despite their different methods of formation. By measuring the intermediate scattering function at different radii from the cluster center, we find that the relaxation dynamics of the clusters are inhomogeneous, with the core becoming glassy above the glass transition temperature while the surface remains mobile at low temperatures. This helps the clusters sample the highly stable, low energy structures on the potential energy surface. Our work suggests the nanocluster systems are structurally more stable than the ultra-stable glassy thin films, formed through vapor deposition onto a cold substrate, but the nanoclusters do not exhibit the superheating effects characteristic of the ultra-stable glass states.

description: "Frank Wilczek was recently asked: "If you could ask a super-intelligent alien one yes-or no-question, what would it be? His response: "P versus NP. That basically contains all the other questions doesn't it?"" Here we exploit the inclusive nature of P versus NP to argue that time-travel, UFOs, and other paranormal phenomena are physically possible, and why the failure of human beings to understand them is born of a failure of human intelligence. Just as the ant is kept by its narrow intelligence from any but a dim understanding of the world of the man, the man in turn is trapped by his narrow intelligence from any but a dim understanding of higher worlds.
A comparison of cross- and single-layer retransmission optimisations for 802.11

description: Retransmissions in the 802.11 wireless LAN protocol often contain data that was successfully conveyed in the initial message, but is ignored due to corruption during transmission, thereby reducing network efficiency. By compartmentalising data, and consequently the corrupted portions of the frame, into distinct sub-fragments 802.11 protocol, performance can be further improved. Cross-layer designs provide opportunities to assist in accomplishing this improvement that may not otherwise present themselves in normal architectures using isolated layers. This thesis presents two new and novel schemes, one that is based on cross layer design and the other using the traditional single layer approach. Both schemes are based upon the same principle of compartmentalising corruption. Additionally, a comparison between the two schemes is provided in order to investigate the strengths and weaknesses of cross-layer design, while simultaneously presenting an 802.11 protocol with enhanced spectral effciency. Both schemes divide layer 2 frames into small fragments separated by frame check sequences in order to facilitate retransmission of data that was corrupted during transmission, while avoiding resending correctly received data. They differ in the metadata mechanisms relied upon to manage this process, and the layer in which retransmission decisions are made, but are fundamentally similar; permitting a unique opportunity for the informative comparison between cross- and single- layer designs. Moderate bandwidth increases were observed over standard 802.11n with both schemes at medium to high channel error rates, alongside situational decreases in latency. The cross-layer scheme performed slightly worse than the single-layer scheme, however it provided a significant opportunity for further optimisations that were not readily apparent in the single-layer scheme.

description: Ce texte est une réflexion autour de la chanson, de sa structure, de sa spécificité. Je me suis grandement inspiré de la pensée de Deleuze, notamment de ses ouvrages Logique du Sens[1], Pourparler[2] et du documentaire l’Abécédaire[3] réalisé par Pierre-André Boutang. J’ai tenté de rendre plus digeste la philosophie en l’habillant de thèmes qui me sont chers. L’écriture s’est faite en écoutant de la musique, celle qui se trouve ici même.

Variation and standardisation: a comparative study of the graphemic realisations of the vowel-glides between three early Sahidic manuscripts and classical Sahidic

description: The high degree of graphemic variation in the Sahidic literary manuscripts of the 4thand 5th centuries CE reflects a written language in a state of flux at a time when theorthographic rules were not fixed. This thesis offers a comparative typological study ofregular and free variation exhibited in the graphemic realisations of the vowel-glides /i/~/j/and /u/~/w/ in the early manuscripts of the 4th and 5th centuries and in those representing theclassical, or standard, Sahidic of the 6th and 7th centuries. The corpus includes three 4th-5thcentury literary manuscripts: British Library Or. 7594; Papyrus Bodmer XVIII; and PapyrusBodmer XXIII. Chester Beatty Mss. 813 and 814 have been selected as the comparanda,being excellent representatives of standard Sahidic. A synchronic and diachronic comparisonof the respective typologies allows one to gain valuable insight into the dynamic state of thewritten language and the process by which the orthography becomes standardised. Thequestions addressed in this thesis seek to complement previous scholarship on the state of thelanguage of early Sahidic, particularly the linguistic studies on the Nag Hammadi codices. Byproviding valuable data which may serve as comparanda, and by developing a reliablemethod based on the recent theories and methodologies of historical linguistics and languagechange, this thesis seeks to lay the foundation for future research into Coptic orthography.
Physiological measures of changes in self-agency during hypnosis

description: Alterations in the sense of agency are a defining feature of hypnosis. These alterations in sense of agency can be experienced as a reduced sense of voluntariness while undergoing perceptual, cognitive and motor tasks. Different theoretical accounts of hypnosis assert that these unique responses to tasks are due to disassociations in either the monitoring or control of sub-personal processes involved in the performance of those tasks. This thesis investigated whether a hypnotic ‘alien control’ suggestion administered during a lifting task could alter sub-personal processes involved in the postural control of actions. Two experiments were carried out. In the first experiment I identified a specific physiological/kinematic marker of postural control that could differentiate between intentionally controlled actions and unintentional actions performed outside of hypnosis. In the second experiment, I explored the impact of hypnotic suggestion on this implicit, physiological marker of postural control and on explicit judgements of agency. Results showed that while the hypnotic suggestion significantly altered judged sense of voluntary movement and control, this was not reflected in the kinematic marker of intentional action. Results were more consistent with the theoretical accounts that claim that hypnosis alters the monitoring, rather than the actual control of sub-personal process during motor task performance.

description: Recently our group analyzed how the probability distribution for the jet opening angle is modified in an ensemble of jets that has propagated through an expanding cooling droplet of plasma [1]. Each jet in the ensemble is represented holographically by a string in the dual 4+1- dimensional gravitational theory with the distribution of initial energies and opening angles in the ensemble given by perturbative QCD. In [1], the full string dynamics were approximated by assuming that the string moves at the speed of light. We are now able to analyze the full string dynamics for a range of possible initial conditions, giving us access to the dynamics of holographic jets just after their creation. The nullification timescale and the features of the string when it has nullified are all results of the string evolution. This emboldens us to analyze the full jet shape modification, rather than just the opening angle modification of each jet in the ensemble as in [1]. We find the result that the jet shape scales with the opening angle at any particular energy. We construct an ensemble of dijets with energies and energy asymmetry distributions taken from events in proton-proton collisions, opening angle distribution as in [1], and jet shape taken from proton-proton collisions and scaled according to our result. We study how these observables are modified after we send the ensemble of dijets through the strongly-coupled plasma.

description: In this article we study the spin and tunneling dynamics as a function of magnetic field in a one-dimensional GaAs double quantum dot with both the Dresselhaus and Rashba spin-orbit coupling. In particular we consider different spatial widths for the spin-up and spin-down electronic states. We find that the spin dynamics is a superposition of slow as well as fast Rabi oscillations. It is found that the Rashba interaction strength as well as the external magnetic field strongly modifies the slow Rabi oscillations which is particularly useful for single qubit manipulation for possible quantum computer applications.
