description: The Gas Pixel Detector (GPD) is a new generation device which, thanks to its 50 um pixels, is capable of imaging the photoelectrons tracks produced by photoelectric absorption in a gas. Since the direction of emission of the photoelectrons is strongly correlated with the direction of polarization of the absorbed photons, this device has been proposed as a polarimeter for the study of astrophysical sources, with a sensitivity far higher than the instruments flown to date. The GPD has been always regarded as a focal plane instrument and then it has been proposed to be included on the next generation space-borne missions together with a grazing incidence optics. Instead in this paper we explore the feasibility of a new kind of application of the GPD and of the photoelectric polarimeters in general, i.e. an instrument with a large field of view. By means of an analytical treatment and measurements, we verify if it is possible to preserve the sensitivity to the polarization for inclined beams, opening the way for the measurement of X-ray polarization for transient astrophysical sources. While severe systematic effects arise for inclination greater than about 20 degrees, methods and algorithms to control them are discussed.

Investigation into wakes generated by surface piercing periscopes
Creators: name: Conway, Alexander
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: For operational purposes, submarines are required to pierce the free surface with masts, such as periscopes and snorkels. These masts generate a large plume structure which can significantly increase the chance of detection. This thesis develops a numerical technique to accurately model the plume structure generated by a mast piercing the free surface, examining four critical aspects: bow wave height, plume height, plume length, and drag coefficient. The Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model was validated through an experimental programme in a towing tank and against published data. The numerical validation showed that CFD-RANS modelling failed to predict the plume height and plume length while the CFD-LES accurately modelled the plume structure under Froude numbers of 3.0, whilst predicting the overall shape with a small under prediction at Froude numbers greater than 3.0. The results show aspects of the flow regime within the plume structure and experimental configurations required to accurately replicate real world scenarios. The most critical flow characteristic found for the plume structure was the combination of two flow regimes within the plume structure. The forward section of the plume is generated by the bow wave, whilst the aft section is caused by the submerged section of the mast. When replicating the mast using a surface piercing cylinder with no end body, it was found that an immersion to depth ratio greater than eight is required to avoid end effects. Additionally, the use of an end body can effectively reduce the impact of the end effect on the plume structure. Utilising the validated numerical model, several mast configurations were tested in order to reduce the plume signature. Cylindrical double mast configurations and streamlined NACA0012 mast configurations were tested showing potential reductions of the overall plume size. This data can be used to improve the submarine mast configuration, thus reducing the risk of detection due to the generation of a large plume structure.

Prey avoidance learning and the functional response of predators
Creators: name: Dill, Lawrence Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The research attempts to determine the effect on the number of prey eaten by predators of the addition of the component "avoidance learning by prey" to a computer model of the predation process developed by Holling (1966). Generality was retained by concentrating upon only a few aspects of the prey's behaviour, particularly its distance of reaction to an approaching predator. The zebra danio (Brachydanio rerio), a small freshwater fish, was used as an analogue of a general vertebrate prey. Predators used were plexiglass models, films of approaching objects, and largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). It was shown that the reactive distance of zebra danios could be predicted from the equation: [See Thesis for Equation] where V = predator approach velocity S = predator diameter k = threshold rate of change of angle subtended at the eye of the prey by the predator (= .43 rad/sec). Thus, reactive distance increased with both predator size and velocity. Escape velocity was independent of these same parameters. The threshold rate of change of visual angle, and hence the reactive distance, was not affected by prey hunger. However, reactive distance increased with number of previous experiences, apparently because of secondary conditioning to other features of the predator, such as shape and color. The increased prey reactive distance due to experience was shown to increase predator pursuit time and hypothesized to decrease predator pursuit success. These relationships were expressed mathematically and built into Holling's model of the predation process, along with an equation causing reactive distance to increase following an unsuccessful attack. Simulation was used to explore the consequences of these additions. The capability of learning substantially increased the prey's probability of surviving subsequent attack. Addition of the avoidance learning component caused declines in the predator's functional responses to both prey and predator density. The new component was also suggested to decrease the predator's numerical response to prey density and to increase the probability of stability in a predator-prey interaction.

description: The electronic structure of lanthanide and actinide compounds is often characterized by orbital ordering of localized $f$-electrons. Density-functional theory (DFT) studies of such systems using the currently available LDA+$U$ method are plagued by significant orbital-dependent self-interaction, leading to erroneous orbital ground states. An alternative scheme that modifies the exchange, not Hartree, energy is proposed as a remedy. We show that our LDA+$U$ approach reproduces the expected degeneracy of $f^1$ and $f^2$ states in free ions and the correct ground states in solid PrO$_2$. We expect our method to be useful in studying compounds of $f$- and heavy-$d$ elements.

description: The recent discovery of superconductivity in oxypnictides with the critical temperature (TC) higher than McMillan limit of 39 K (the theoretical maximum predicted by Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory) has generated great excitement. Theoretical calculations indicate that the electron-phonon interaction is not strong enough to give rise to such high transition temperatures, while strong ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic fluctuations have been proposed to be responsible. However, superconductivity and magnetism in pnictide superconductors show a strong sensitivity to the lattice, suggesting a possibility of unconventional electron-phonon coupling. Here we report the effect of oxygen and iron isotopic mass on Tc and the spin-density wave (SDW) transition temperature (TSDW) in SmFeAsO1-xFx and Ba1-xKxFe2As2 systems. The results show that oxygen isotope effect on TC and TSDW is very little, while the iron isotope exponent alpha=-dlnTc/dlnM is about 0.35, being comparable to 0.5 for the full isotope effect. Surprisingly, the iron isotope exchange shows the same effect on TSDW as TCc These results indicate that electron-phonon interaction plays some role in the superconducting mechanism, but simple electron-phonon coupling mechanism seems to be rather unlikely because a strong magnon-phonon coupling is included. Sorting out the interplay between the lattice and magnetic degrees of freedom is a key challenge for understanding the mechanism of high-TC superconductivity.

description: The left-right models provide an explanation for the parity asymmetry in the Standard Model (SM). To further understand the origin of the left-right symmetry, we study a partial unification model based on SU(4)_W*U(1)_{B-L} which can be broken down to the minimal left-right model either through the Higgs mechanism in four dimensions or through the five-dimensional orbifold gauge symmetry breaking with inner or outer automorphism. We scrutinize all these breaking mechanisms and find that for the orbifold breaking in five dimensions, the rank-reducing outer automorphism is better than the inner automorphism and can make the low energy theory free of the U(1)_Z anomaly. For the four-dimensional model with the Higgs mechanism, we study in detail both its structure and its typical phenomenology. It turns out that this four-dimensional scenario may predict some new phenomenology since the new mirror fermions (which are introduced in order to fill the SM fermions into SU(4)_W without anomaly) are preserved at low energy scale and mix with the SM fermions. We also examine the gauge coupling unification in each case, and discuss the possibility for unifying this partial unification group with the Pati-Salam group SU(4)_{PS} to realize a grand unification.

description: Purpose To describe the beliefs and practices of speech-language pathologists (SLPs) about the use of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) among patients with advanced dementia and dysphagia.Method A survey was mailed to a geographically stratified random sample of 1,050 medical SLPs.
Results The response rate was 57%, and 326 surveys met inclusion criteria. Fifty-six percent of SLPs recommended PEG for a patient with advanced dementia and dysphagia. Contrary to the evidence, many respondents believed that PEG improves nutritional status and increases survival. Relatively few SLPs believed that PEG improved patients' functional status or quality of life. Patient factors (e.g., age or prognosis) were more often identified as influences on recommendations for PEG than were extrinsic factors (e.g., cost). Nearly 40% believed that PEG was the standard of care, while 15% believed it should be. Very few SLPs (11%) would want a PEG themselves. Perceived standard of care was significantly related to both geographic region and population density (p < .05), but self-reported practices were not.
Conclusions Discrepancies between SLPs' beliefs, the literature, and self-reported practices were observed. The findings suggest the need to connect the evidence base to clinical practice and to include SLPs in local and national discussions about end-of-life care protocols.

description: Quantum transport properties through some multilevel quantum dots sandwiched between two metallic contacts are investigated by the use of Green's function technique. Here we do parametric calculations, based on the tight-binding model, to study the transport properties through such bridge systems. The electron transport properties are significantly influenced by (a) number of quantized energy levels in the dots, (b) dot-to-electrode coupling strength, (c) location of the equilibrium Fermi energy $E_F$ and (d) surface disorder. In the limit of weak-coupling, the conductance ($g$) shows sharp resonant peaks associated with the quantized energy levels in the dots, while, they get substantial broadening in the strong-coupling limit. The behavior of the electron transfer through these systems becomes much more clearly visible from our study of current-voltage ($I$-$V$) characteristics. In this context we also describe the noise power of current fluctuations ($S$) and determine the Fano factor ($F$) which provides an important information about the electron correlation among the charge carriers. Finally, we explore a novel transport phenomenon by studying the surface disorder effect in which the current amplitude increases with the increase of the surface disorder strength in the strong disorder regime, while, the amplitude decreases in the limit of weak disorder. Such an anomalous behavior is completely opposite to that of bulk disordered system where the current amplitude always decreases with the disorder strength. It is also observed that the current amplitude strongly depends on the system size which reveals the finite quantum size effect.

description: We briefly review what a quantum computer is, what it promises to do for us, and why it is so hard to build one. Among the first applications anticipated to bear fruit is quantum simulation of quantum systems. While most quantum computation is an extension of classical digital computation, quantum simulation differs fundamentally in how the data is encoded in the quantum computer. To perform a quantum simulation, the Hilbert space of the system to be simulated is mapped directly onto the Hilbert space of the (logical) qubits in the quantum computer. This type of direct correspondence is how data is encoded in a classical analogue computer. There is no binary encoding, and increasing precision becomes exponentially costly: an extra bit of precision doubles the size of the computer. This has important consequences for both the precision and error correction requirements of quantum simulation, and significant open questions remain about its practicality. It also means that the quantum version of analogue computers, continuous variable quantum computers (CVQC) becomes an equally efficient architecture for quantum simulation. Lessons from past use of classical analogue computers can help us to build better quantum simulators in future.

description: We consider an atomic Fermi gas confined in a uniform optical lattice potential, where the atoms can pair into molecules via a magnetic field controlled narrow Feshbach resonance. The phase diagram of the resulting atom-molecule mixture in chemical and thermal equilibrium is determined numerically in the absence of interactions under the constraint of particle conservation. In the limiting cases of vanishing or large lattice depth we derive simple analytical results for important thermodynamic quantities. One such quantity is the dissociation energy, defined as the detuning of the molecular energy spectrum with respect to the atomic one for which half of the atoms have been converted into dimers. Importantly we find that the dissociation energy has a non-monotonic dependence on lattice depth.

description: Optical antenna is a nanoscale miniaturization of radio or microwave antennas that is also governed by the rule of plasmonics. We introduce various types of optical antenna and make an overview of recent developments in optical antenna research. The role of local and surface plasmons in optical antenna is explained through antenna resonance and resonance conditions for specific metal structures are explicitly obtained. Strong electric field is shown to exist within a highly localized region of optical antennas such as antenna feed gap or apertures. We describe physical properties of field enhancement in apertures(circular and rectangular holes) and gaps(infinite slit and feed gap), as well as experimental techniques measuring enhanced electric vector field. We discuss about analogies and differences between conventional and optical antennas with a projection of future developments.

For club fitting, it is important to consider not only the characteristics of the club but also the golf swing. We will suggest the custom-made club by diagnosing the swing, and we focused on cooperative actions (CA) as characteristics of golf swings. In previous study singular value decomposition (SVD) has been used to extract CA, and we analyzed CA of individual golfers and clarified the differences in the CA using stick diagrams. In this study, we introduced correlation coefficients to assess the similarity of CA for different golf swings.

The lightest neutral scalar of the inert doublet is a candidate for dark matter. Scanning over parameters we preserve the abundance of the dark matter in agreement with the WMAP data. We also impose all relevant collider and theoretical constraints to determine the allowed parameter space for which both the dark matter is appropriate and CP is violated. In addition we find regions where the cut-off of the model originating from naturality arguments can be substantially lifted compared to its Standard Model value, reaching 2-3 TeV.

description: We show that charge ordered rare-earth nickelates of the type RNiO3 (R= Ho, Lu, Pr and Nd) are multiferroic with very large magnetically induced ferroelectric (FE) polarizations. This we determine from first principles electronic structure calculations. The emerging FE polarization is directly tied to the long-standing puzzle of which kind of magnetic ordering is present in this class of materials: its direction and size indicate the type of ground-state spin configuration that is realized. Vice versa, the small energy differences between the different magnetic orderings suggest that a chosen magnetic ordering can be stabilized by cooling the system in presence of an electric field.

Studies on the acetylation of trout testis histones
Creators: name: Candido, Edward Peter Mario
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Histones are basic chromosomal proteins which are complexed with DNA in eukaryotic organisms. During the sexual maturation of the rainbow trout (Salmo gairdnerii), there is extensive acetylation of the testis histones. Four of the five major histone fractions were found to be acetylated, and the acetate incorporated was shown to be largely present as ε-N-acetyl groups attached to internal lysyl residues in these proteins. Purified histones were seen to exhibit considerable heterogeneity when electrophoresed on starch gels, and this was shown to be largely due to the presence of acetylated components in the preparations. Histone Ilb₁ was shown to contain a single major acetylation site at lysyl residue 5; histone IIb₂ contains acetylated lysyl residues at positions 5, 10, 13 and 18, histone III at positions 9, 14, 18 and 23, and histone IV at positions 5, 8, 12 and 16. All of these modifications are found in the very basic amino-terminal regions of the proteins, which may be DNA binding sites. It is postulated that the function of these modifications is to modulate the positive charge density of histones, and hence their binding to DNA. The acetylation of histones in different trout testis cell types was investigated. All cell types incorporated acetate into histones, but whereas histone acetylation was accompanied by synthesis of these proteins in spermatocytes, the modification in spermatid cells occurred in the absence of significant histone synthesis. It is suggested that histone acetylation in spermatids may be involved in the process by which these proteins are replaced by protamine, a smaller, arginine-rich protein, during the maturation of trout testis spermatids. Histone acetylation in cell types which are actively synthesizing these proteins may be involved in achieving the correct binding of newly synthesized histones to DNA. An enzyme activity which transfers acetyl groups from acetyl coenzyme A to histones was isolated from trout testis chromatin, and some properties of this preparation have been noted.
MERCURIAL PARA SAXOFÓN Y ORQUESTA

description: Mercurial es una obra para saxofón y orquesta que realiza un estudio de modelos exógenos electroacústicos y morfobiológicos como metáfora y modelo procesual consciente para la composición musical. Parte del material ha sido calculado y compuesto con la ayuda del programa Openmusic, otro ha sido realizado con el software Orquidée, donde la orquesta simula el sonido del saxo, de ahí el título Espejos en mov 2. Dividido en 4 movimientos, cada uno de ellos explora manifestaciones de la expansión y crecimiento a un nivel microscópico y macroscópico. De esta manera, el movimiento 1 usa la inflación cósmica y la energía y flujo oscuro como modelo de expansión. Los movimientos 2 y 3 toman como modelo la dimensión fractal como proceso de generación y proliferación armónica y el movimiento browniano como arquetipo de texturas complejas micropolifónicas. El movimiento 4 es a la vez lírico, evocador e intenso haciendo uso de la refractación, reverberación y eco como paradigma del recuerdo elegiaco actuando como un eco y transfiguración del primer movimiento.

Para la composición de esta obra, se desarrollaron herramientas informáticas y nuevos patches de composición algorítmica en el entorno Openmusic capaces de generar simulaciones del comportamiento caótico fractal baker, lorentz, etc. Es, en cierto sentido, una continuación de la tradición heredad inagurada por Xenakis con sus criterios estocásticos y la interacción entre ordenador y creación para crear nuevas realidades más allá del proceso tradicional de composición. Además esta obra es, junto al de Sánchez Verdú y Posadas, el único concierto para saxofón compuesto y estrenado en España en los últimos 25 años, siendo una pieza que supone una aportación importante al repertorio del saxofón con orquesta, casi inexistente en España y en la literatura mundial. Asimismo, su grabación (financiada por la fundación BBVA) está disponible en la página web de la fundación BBVA como en el canal de you tube del compositor.

description: A nanopatterning scheme is presented by which the structure height can be controlled in the tens of nanometers range and the lateral resolution is a factor at least three times better than the point spread function of the writing beam. The method relies on the initiation of the polymerization mediated by a very inefficient energy transfer from a fluorescent dye molecule after single photon absorption. The mechanism has the following distinctive steps: the dye adsorbs on the substrate surface with a higher concentration than in the bulk, upon illumination it triggers the polymerization, then isolated islands develop and merge into a uniform structure (percolation), which subsequently grows until the illumination is interrupted. This percolation mechanism has a threshold that introduces the needed nonlinearity for the fabrication of structures beyond the diffraction limit.

Strain-induced ferroelectricity in CaTiO$_3$ from first principles

description: First principles calculations are used to investigate the effects of epitaxial strain on the structure of the perovskite oxide CaTiO$_3$, with particular focus on the stabilization of a ferroelectric phase related to a polar instability hidden in the orthorhombic equilibrium bulk $Pbnm$ structure but found in previous first-principles studies of the ideal cubic perovskite high-symmetry reference structure. At 1.5% strain, we find an epitaxial orientation transition between the $ab$-$ePbnm$ phase, favored for compressive strains, and the $c$-$ePbnm$ phase. For larger tensile strains, a polar instability develops in the $c$-$ePbnm$ phase and an epitaxial-strain-induced ferroelectric phase is obtained with polarization along a $$ direction with respect to the primitive perovskite lattice vectors of the square substrate.

description: We use angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy to probe the electronic excitations of the non-superconducting state that exists between the antiferromagnetic Mott insulator at zero doping and the superconducting state at larger dopings in Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+δ}. We find that this state is a nodal liquid whose excitation gap becomes zero only at points in momentum space. Despite exhibiting a resistivity characteristic of an insulator and the absence of coherent quasiparticle peaks, this material has the same gap structure as the d-wave superconductor. We observe a smooth evolution of the spectrum across the insulator-to-superconductor transition, which suggests that high temperature superconductivity emerges when quantum phase coherence is established in a non-superconducting nodal liquid.

description: Mechanical heel pain is a very common reason for consultation in the military environment. Its etiologies remain very diverse. Intraosseous lipoma of the calcaneus is a very rare cause and represents 0.1% of all skeletal tumors. We report here the case of a young patient aged thirty-two, who presented with chronic mechanical left heel pain, of insidious onset, progressive worsening, without triggering factor and without other associated signs.
Imaging allowed the diagnosis of intraosseous lipoma of the calcaneus to be retained.
description: Les talalgies plantaires mécaniques sont un motif de consultation très fréquent en milieu militaire chez des sujets souvent jeunes et/ou sportifs. Ses étiologies restent très diverses. Elles sont le plus souvent secondaires à des microtraumatismes conduisant à une aponévrosite plantaire. Le lipome intra-osseux du calcanéum en constitue une cause très rare et représente 0,1% de l'ensemble des tumeurs squelettiques. Nous rapportons ici le cas d’une jeune patiente  âgée de trente-deux ans, qui s’est présentée pour une talalgie chronique mécanique gauche, d’installation insidieuse, d’aggravation progressive, sans  facteur déclenchant et sans autres signes associés.
L’imagerie  a permis de retenir le diagnostic de lipome intra-osseux du calcanéum.
Cooperative Multiplexing in the Multiple Antenna Half Duplex Relay Channel

description: Cooperation between terminals has been proposed to improve the reliability and throughput of wireless communication. While recent work has shown that relay cooperation provides increased diversity, increased multiplexing gain over that offered by direct link has largely been unexplored. In this work we show that cooperative multiplexing gain can be achieved by using a half duplex relay. We capture relative distances between terminals in the high SNR diversity multiplexing tradeoff (DMT) framework. The DMT performance is then characterized for a network having a single antenna half-duplex relay between a single-antenna source and two-antenna destination. Our results show that the achievable multiplexing gain using cooperation can be greater than that of the direct link and is a function of the relative distance between source and relay compared to the destination. Moreover, for multiplexing gains less than 1, a simple scheme of the relay listening 1/3 of the time and transmitting 2/3 of the time can achieve the 2 by 2 MIMO DMT.

'If music and sweet poetry agree' : the marriage of two art-forms, with particular emphasis on speech rhythm & inflection, dramatic intensity & musical coherence
Creators: name: Middenway, R
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: This applied research project has focussed on the sequence of compositional challenges faced when setting verse to music, its principal output a folio of settings of verse spanning thirteen centuries. For the sake of general accessibility, the texts selected were predominantly in English, with two sets in translation from the original Japanese and one in Latin. The works included in the folio are: a choral canzonet; a duet; four complete song cycles and extracts from a fifth; a cantata for solo voices, choir and chamber ensemble; and a piece for two solo voices and orchestra. To provide a broader compositional context, excerpts from two of the other works completed during the project are included in the folio: from a piano sonata, and from a new realisation of the Latin medieval church opera, The Play of Daniel. Three other instrumental pieces completed during the project are omitted from the folio. Experience as a singer, choral conductor, opera production and stage manager and long-time music and opera critic has inevitably informed my creative practice. In this Exegesis I identify some composers whose approaches to word-setting have consciously and no doubt unconsciously influenced my personal approach over the years, and consider ways in which specific works of several of them might have influenced some aspects of the pieces in the folio. In the core of the exegesis I consider two key works in the folio, documenting in varying detail the procedures employed in text selection and analysis, and subsequently in musical synthesis. But the overall creative process depends on unconscious art as much as conscious craft; in this contextualising document I consider the verse itself and the evanescent clouds of ideas and emotions that evidently drove the various poets, my personal responses, and the musical processes by which I set out to communicate these ideas and emotions to performers and audiences, balancing craft and art with the aim of illuminating the verse.
