Deformation enhanced grain growth in a superplastic Sn - 1% Bi alloy
Creators: name: Clark, Malcolm Arthur
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A Sn - 1% Bi alloy has been studied to determine the effects of superplastic deformation on the grain growth kinetics. Using both constant crosshead speed and creep tests, the grain size was measured as a function of deformation time and strain over a wide range of strain rates. It was found that during deformation, considerable increases in the grain growth rates occurred when compared to static annealing. The effect was most pronounced at intermediate strain rates (≃10⁻²/minute) in the high strain rate sensitivity region. However, the grain growth rates on annealing after deformation were found to be less than static rates. To aid in understanding the mechanism of the enhanced growth, alternating tension-compression tests were performed. The amount of grain elongation and the changes in preferred orientation with deformation were also measured. Grain type and grain size distributions after deformation and after annealing were established and analyzed in terms of a grain coalescence mechanism. However, the most favourable mechanism appears to involve the production of excess vacancies in the grain boundary region leading to increased boundary mobility.
Information-based Optimal Subdata Selection for Clusterwise Linear Regression Model

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: As the data size increases rapidly, the relationship between input and output variables may not be homogeneous anymore. Conventional statistical models such as generalized linear models (GLMs) may not be well-suited to heterogeneous relationships. Using a Mixture of Expert models is a good solution. The Mixture of Expert models can combine different statistical models to detect heterogeneous patterns while maintaining the benefits of conventional statistical modeling techniques. However, it needs a considerable amount of computer resources, particularly when working with big data. To address this issue, an attractive idea is to analyze a subsample of the data retaining the rich information of the full data. Information-Based Optimal Subdata Strategy (IBOSS), proposed by Wang et al. (2019), is such a strategy. The IBOSS strategy captures most of the relevant information in the full data through a judicious selection of the subdata by "maximizing" the Fisher information matrix. This project aims to develop an algorithm for the Clusterwise Linear Regression model, a type of Mixture of Experts, to select subdata based on IBOSS strategy. However, the Fisher information matrix of the model has no explicit form, which is a major challenge of the work. To overcome this challenge, we propose a surrogate matrix which is proved to be asymptotically equivalent to the Fisher information matrix, and it is used to construct the IBOSS subdata. Further, the proposed subdata selection is proved to be asymptotically optimal, i.e., no other method is statistically more efficient than the proposed one when the full data size is large.

description: We formulate a model of relativistic fermions moving in two Euclidean dimensions based on a tight-binding model of graphene. The eigenvalue spectrum of the resulting Dirac operator is solved numerically in smooth U(1) gauge field backgrounds carrying an integer-valued topological charge Q, and it is demonstrated that the resulting number of zero-eigenvalue modes is in accord with the Atiyah-Singer index theorem applied to two continuum flavors. A bilinear but gauge non-invariant chirality operator appropriate for distinguishing the topological zero modes is identified. When this operator is used to calculate Q, it is found that the maximum topological charge capable of being measured in this fashion scales with the perimeter of the lattice. Some concluding remarks compare these results to what is known for staggered lattice fermions.

title: Numerical methods for the simulation of particle motion in electromagnetic fields
Creators: name: Simona, Abele
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2020

description: In this thesis we study numerical methods for the approximate solution of problems arising in electromagnetism. Its main motivations come from applications to the modelling of high-energy particle accelerators. In this framework, we first compare the efficiency of several numerical methods for the omputation of particle trajectories in the design of a magnetic quadrupole for the High Luminosity - Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) project and we analyse the use of a specific vector potential gauge to reduce the computational cost. The results from this first comparison motivate the subsequent investigation of the accuracy of the numerical approximation of the field. We therefore develop a new type of discretization for the reconstruction of the magnetic scalar potential in cylindrical domains and we apply it to the field reconstruction from a realistic measurement process in a Bayesian framework. We compare this method with the reconstruction obtained by a more classical method based on the separation of variables, highlighting the benefits of the new type of discretization and its applicability to the reconstruction process. Motivated by the need of efficient methods for the description of electromagnetic fields, we extend the study to other types of problems for axisymmetric domains, which have a high practical relevance in particle accelerator applications. In this context, we propose the use of a method based on the Fourier basis and IsoGeometric Analysis (IGA) to exploit, on one hand, the computational efficiency that can be achieved thanks to the symmetry of the domain and, on the other, the exact representation of the geometry and the good approximation properties achievable in a IGA framework. Moreover, the proposed method forms a de Rham complex, which is a crucial property that allows to obtain a stable method which produces physically correct approximations. We finally apply the method to the computation of resonant modes of an accelerating TESLA cavity.
title: Development of Novel Small-Molecule Degraders of FK506-Binding Protein 51
Creators: name: Mao, Tianqi
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2020

description: The FK506-binding protein 51 (FKBP51) plays an important role in steroid hormone receptors (SHRs) regulation and is related to many pathologic states and diseases such as stress-related disorder, cancer, metabolic syndrome, and chronic pain. FKBP51 acts on several cellular pathways likely through protein-protein interactions via its multifunctional domains. However, the functional basis of FKBP51 in signalling remains obscure due to the poor characterization of its biochemical properties. Importantly, the current FKBP51 inhibitors are not able to inactivate FKBP51 completely based on the occupancy-driven pharmacology. In this thesis, I synthesized a series of small molecules which aim to degrade FK506 binding proteins (FKBPs) via the recently developed proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) strategy. A PROTAC is a heterobifunctional molecule consisting of a ligand for the target protein and a ligand for an E3 ligase, which induces the proteasomal degradation of the target protein. Unlike classical small molecule drugs, PROTACs intend to eliminate the aberrantly functioning protein rather than to inhibit it. By utilizing a selective FKBP51 ligand and non-selective FKBPs ligands developed by our group, two series of PROTACs were designed and synthesized. All of the selective SAFit-PROTACs showed affinities in the nanomolar range for FKBP51, while retaining high selectivity over the close homologue FKBP52. The degradation of cellular FKBP51 was observed upon treatment with the PROTAC MTQ202. In turn, I explored rigidified linkers based on MTQ202 to afford more potent PROTACs. The bicyclic ligand-based PROTACs exhibited outstanding affinities for all of the tested FKBPs in the low nanomolar range to subnanomolar range. The most potent compound, MTQ509, showed the highest binding affinity for FKBP51 so far reported (Ki = 0.92 nM).

description: Using detailed simulations we investigate the magnetic response of metamaterials consisting of pairs of parallel slabs or combinations of slabs with wires (including the fishnet design) as the length-scale of the structures is reduced from mm to nm. We observe the expected saturation of the magnetic resonance frequency when the structure length-scale goes to the sub-micron regime, as well as weakening of the effective permeability resonance and reduction of the spectral width of the negative permeability region. All these results are explained by using an equivalent resistor-inductor-capacitor (RLC) circuit model, taking into account the current-connected kinetic energy of the electrons inside the metallic parts through an equivalent inductance, added to the magnetic field inductance in the unit-cell. Using this model we derive simple optimization rules for achieving optical negative permeability metamaterials of improved performance. Finally, we analyze the magnetic response of the fishnet design and we explain its superior performance regarding the high attainable magnetic resonance frequency, as well as its inferior performance regarding the width of the negative permeability region.

description: This is the initial paper in a series presenting the first optical detections and subsequent follow-up spectroscopy of known Southern Galactic supernova remnants (SNRs) previously discovered in the radio. These new detections come from the AAO/UKST HAlpha survey of the Southern Galactic plane which has opened up fresh opportunities to study Galactic remnants. Here we present the first optical imaging and follow-up spectra of Galactic SNR G279.0+1.1 where a series of 14 small-scale fragmented groups of HAlpha filaments have been discovered in a ~2.3 deg. area centred on G279.0+1.1. Individually they are somewhat inconspicuous but collectively they are completely enclosed within the overall radio contours of this known SNR. Three of these filamentary groupings are particularly prominent and optical spectra have been obtained across two of them. Their morphological structure and spectral characteristics are typical of optically detected SNR filaments. Very strong [S II] emission relative to H has been detected with [S II]/HAlpha 0.7 and 1.1, confirming strong, shock heated emission. This is sufficient to classify these filaments in the likely SNR domain and therefore indicating a direct connection with the radio remnant. Other typical SNR emission lines such as [O II] at 3727A, HBeta, [O III] at 4959 and 5007A, HAlpha and [N II] at 6548 and 6584A were also detected, lending strong support to an SNR origin of these optical filaments. The value and insights that these optical data can provide for known remnants are discussed along with their relevance to the Galactic nitrogen abundance. A serendipitous discovery of an adjacent H II region is also briefly described.

description: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy provides a platform to study both structure and dynamics of macromolecules, making it an indispensable technique in structural biology. The work described here separately yet collectively complement the importance as well as the ability of solution NMR in structural studies. The first part describes the use of solution state NMR and other biophysical methods in characterizing the structure of micelle bound Influenza A Matrix Protein1 C domain. We have characterized the oligomeric count, affinity and secondary structural changes of the protein upon binding to different lipid environments as micelles and bicelles and its effect with respect to pH and charge. According to our studies at the moment, the Matrix protein1 C domain changes the conformation into a three helical bundle in the presence of membrane. I further discuss the structure statistics in comparison to the experimental data. The second part describes significance of super resolution NOESY, a method developed to improve the quality of NOESY spectroscopy for larger systems, using Influenza hemagglutinin fusion peptide (HAfp) in bicelles system. This is focused to get better resolution while retaining the information, especially distance restraints. I discuss the theory, enhancement according to the experimental data, as well as experimental parameter optimization to reap maximum benefit from the technique.

Deformation characteristics of w-zn composites.
Creators: name: Bala, Sathish Rao
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The deformation characteristics of continuous tungsten fibre-reinforced zinc composites have been investigated. Composites with a single crystal matrix containing up to 4.5 volume per cent of tungsten fibres were studied. The stress-strain curves of W-Zn composites showed positive deviations from the "rule of mixture" predictions. Theoretical work attributes the positive deviations to matrix hardening due to either one of the phenomena: (a) the difference in the lateral contractions of the fibre and the matrix; (b) the pile up of dislocations in the matrix at the matrix-fibre interface. In the present work the positive deviations in the elastic-plastic region of the stress-strain curves of the composites have been attributed to both (a) and (b). The positive deviations in the ultimate tensile strengths of the composites have been attributed to (b). Composites containing up to 0.08 volume per cent of the tungsten wires deformed even after the fracture of the fibres. Dissolution of the matrix of these deformed composites showed that multiple necking had occurred in the fibres fractured to 1-5 mms length. Composites containing greater than 0.08 volume per cent of tungsten fibres fractured by cleaving through the basal plane of the matrix. No fibre fracture inside the matrix was seen except at the fracture end of the composite. Multiple necking of the fibres near the fractured end has been seen only in those composites which have deformed more than the free fibres tested individually.
Chomsky on education
Creators: name: Corson, David J
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: There are no published books by Noam Chomsky which concern themselves with education or which are written with educationists in mind as the intended and specific audience. Of his many published articles, only one short paper deals specifically with some of his views on education, and, even here, mainly in the general philosophical terms of the humanistic conception of education. Yet Chomsky's influence on courses of teacher training and on the teaching of language, by any standard, is immense. At the same time it would be reasonable to assume that the classroom teacher has only a vague impression of Chomsky's significance for education. What are his attitudes towards those areas of education to which he has directly contributed? To what other areas has he turned his attention and how has he attempted to influence them indirectly through his writings? . To what extent do his published writings reveal his attitudes toward pedagogy? Is his philosophy of education clearly and cogently revealed in his works? What can be deduced about his attitudes to the \institution\" (in a sociological sense) of education? Are his attitudes consistent and do they have a common source? This study explores each text and published paper of ChomsKy from his most productive and diversified period in order to extrapolate all references to education as defined within certain narrow and exclusive limits. The period selected the method of extrapolation and the definitive boundaries applied are discussed more fully in the INTRODUCTION which follows. From each extrapolated reference wherever it is more than incidental and from its context inferences are made which comment upon and try to reveal Chomsky's attitudes to education as it is narrowly and exclusively defined in the INTRODUCTION. Part One of the study briefly describes Chomsky's place in that disciplinary area where he has made his most notable contributions; theoretical linguistics and linguistic philosophy. Each of Parts Two -Three and Four deals with a chronological period extrapolating references from all the published works which have relevance in the terms of this study. Part Five collates and categorises the many attitudes inferred and discussed in Parts Two to Four."

Psychological problems in rural primary care : evaluating a model of mental health service delivery in rural Tasmania
Creators: name: Campbell, Alistair
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Over the past 10 years in Australia, there has been significant expenditure of resources on mental health. Research has demonstrated that psychological disorders are a frequent and disabling health issue for many in the community. However, there continues to be a singular gap in our knowledge of mental health in rural and remote Australia. Numerous publications have identified the issue and called for more research in rural settings at all levels. Yet a number of reviews have shown that most publications in this area are commentaries, descriptions of services, or policy statements. There is a significant gap in our understanding of the prevalence of mental health problems in rural and remote Australia. Currently we know very little about the risk and protective factors that moderate prevalence and the impact of service delivery on outcome for clients in rural and remote areas. This study included basic research on common mental disorders in a Tasmanian primary care population whilst evaluating the relative clinical effectiveness of a locally developed model of mental health service delivery. The study used a combined survey and naturalistic experimental design to screen participants (N=490) making a routine visit to their GP and subsequently assess them (N=227) using a diagnostic interview and rating scales of psychiatric symptoms and quality of life. Participants were re-assessed on these measures after 12 months. The primary care sample was grouped into those who had received a mental health service (N=22), those who had symptoms but did not receive treatment (Untreated Control, N=100), and those who did not have symptoms and did not receive mental health treatment (Normal Control, N=105). Clients being seen by a Local Mental Health Worker (N=28) were compared to the different groups of primary care participants. The study revealed a high prevalence of common mental disorders in this sample. In addition, a moderate correlation was established between the GP evaluation of psychological well-being and measures used in the survey suggesting that the GPs in this study were good at identifying psychological distress. Finally, it was found that the clients of the Local Mental Health Worker improved to a statistically and clinically significant degree on all the indicators of symptom level, distress, and quality of life compared to the other groups. More research is necessary but this study supports the idea that people do better when treated by mental health professionals in their own community. Such a model should be given serious consideration when developing future services.

description: Native and hydrogen-plasma induced shallow traps in hydrothermally grown ZnO crystals have been investigated by charge-based deep level transient spectroscopy, photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence microanalysis. The as-grown ZnO exhibits a trap state at 23 meV, while H-doped ZnO produced by plasma doping shows two levels at 22 meV and 11 meV below the conduction band. As-grown ZnO displays the expected thermal decay of bound excitons with increasing temperature from 7 K, while we observed an anomalous behaviour of the excitonic emission in H-doped ZnO, in which its intensity increases with increasing temperature in the range 140–300 K. Based on a multitude of optical results, a qualitative model is developed which explains the Y line structural defects, which act as an electron trap with an activation energy of 11 meV, being responsible for the anomalous temperature-dependent cathodoluminescence of H-doped ZnO.

description: We discuss the neutrino constraints from solar and terrestrial dark matter (DM) annihilations in the inelastic dark matter (iDM) scenario after the recent CDMS II results. To reconcile the DAMA/LIBRA data with constraints from all other direct experiments, the iDM needs to be light ($m_χ< 100$ GeV) and have a large DM-nucleon cross section ($σ_n \sim$ 10$^{-4}$ pb in the spin-independent (SI) scattering and $σ_n \sim$ 10 pb in the spin-dependent (SD) scattering). The dominant contribution to the iDM capture in the Sun is from scattering off Fe/Al in the SI/SD case. Current bounds from Super-Kamiokande exclude the hard DM annihilation channels, such as $W^+W^-$, $ZZ$, $t\bar{t}$ and $τ^+ τ^-$. For soft channels such as $b\bar{b}$ and $c \bar{c}$, the limits are loose, but could be tested or further constrained by future IceCube plus DeepCore. For neutrino constraints from the DM annihilation in the Earth, due to the weaker gravitational effect of the Earth and inelastic capture condition, the constraint exists only for small mass splitting $δ

Inheritance

Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The project centres on my own connections, through family, to the free middle-class women who were the wives and daughters of colonial settlers in Tasmania. Whereas both convicts and the upper classes have been documented in conventional histories, these women have been largely silent. Their position in society appears to be overshadowed by that of their husbands and fathers, their histories white-washed. Revisionist histories of women's place, beginning with Anne Summers' Damned Whores and God's Police (1975), have attempted to redress the balance, however Inheritance identifies a multiplicity of histories, in particular oral histories that bring the middle-class colonial woman's private space into focus in a quest for identity. The major characteristic of these histories is their ephemerality. Women's work ‚ÄövÑvÆ cleaning, cooking, and sewing ‚ÄövÑvÆ also carries this characteristic, which is brought to bear in the series of ephemeral installations that make up Inheritance. The installations are redolent with the substances used in housework ‚ÄövÑvÆ tea, sugar, coffee, salt, washing powder. This pervasive sensory experience calls up memories that make sense of personal experience ‚ÄövÑvÆ not just those things consciously learned from mothers and grandmothers, but those ideas and practices absorbed by being part of a particular practice or place. Site specificity has been an essential element of the installations in the Inheritance series. Patterns used in the installations take on the decorative forms of the domestic sphere, found in carpet, fabric, clothing, and personal adornment. Feminine forms are often held in place by the grid of architectural space, used as a metaphor for male hegemony and symbolised in references to iron lace and other applied decoration found in the nineteenth century urban fabric of Launceston. The thesis contests the notion that the work of colonial free women was valueless because it is and was unseen. The multiple 'non-traditional' histories told by family members and the apparently mute physical remnants of their lives are materialised as an unconventional and powerful Inheritance.

description: The "Corn Mother Opera" is a short chamber opera, conceived primarily by Vita and Ishmael Wallace. The work is based on an old Lenape tale, and created by a group of musicians, writers, and composers on the Upper West Side of Manhattan on the afternoon of April 14th. In the period of ~3 hours, this group got together and co-wrote what would become a 40 minute opera, which was produced the next day on April 15th, on 113th Street at 9PM. Anthony Elia was the composer of three parts (Overture, Introduction with Chorus, and Return of the Corn Mother), while Ishmael Wallace was also a composer. There were several other individuals involved, including opera director Anna Etsuko Tsuri, who directed the opera. NB: In this section, the flute/violin line can be played interchangeably. In the performance on April 15, 2013, the piano played the first and third beat of the measure (in rehearsal), while the flute played second and fourth. During the performance, the piano played t! he whole line, with the flute playing over top on the second and fourth. Any variation can be made here, whichever suits the players.

Study of the reaction of pyrrhotite with sulphur dioxide
Creators: name: Ogle, Iain Colquhoun Gibson
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The oxidation of thin rectangular plates of pyrrhotite by sulphur dioxide between 700 and 900°C has been studied at sulphur dioxide partial pressures ranging from 0.25 to 1.0 atm. As reaction proceeded, an outer layer of magnetite thickened at the expense of pyrrhotite, sample dimensions remaining constant. Observations of partially oxidized samples have indicated a linear reaction front and the lack of retained pyrrhotite. Weight loss curves have indicated two types of behaviour: constant rate with increasing porosity at high sample densities, and increasing rate with increasing porosity at lower sample densities. Analysis by a transport control model has shown that chemical processes have no effect on the reaction rate and that the rate is controlled by gaseous diffusion through a laminar gas film at onset of reaction of low density samples. As the magnetite layer thickens, control shifts to that of gaseous diffusion through the porous magnetite. By correlation of observations and effective diffusion coefficients, it is demonstrated that the structure of magnetite varies as a function of its thickness and is dependent on reaction temperature and pressure. The primary mode of diffusion in the porous magnetite layer is determined to be transitional for the range of pyrrhotite densities investigated. High density samples are subject to rupturing. This causes approximately linear reaction rates which are independent of sample density. It is proposed that reaction is cyclic in that it proceeds by the transport of oxide ions to the reaction front, subsequent rupturing, and gaseous diffusion until pore distributions prohibit Knudsen diffusion.
Phantom-Like Behavior of a DGP-Inspired Scalar-Gauss-Bonnet Gravity

description: We study the phantom-like behavior of a DGP-inspired braneworld scenario where curvature correction on the brane is taken into account. We include a possible modification of the induced gravity on the brane by incorporating higher order curvature terms of Gauss-Bonnet type. We investigate the cosmological implications of the model and we show that the normal branch of the scenario self-accelerates in this modified scenario without introducing any dark energy component. Also, a phantom-like behavior can be realized in this model without introducing any phantom field that suffers from serious difficulties such as violation of the null energy condition.

description: A parity-conserving and Lorentz-invariant effective field theory of self-interacting massive vector fields is considered. For the interaction terms with dimensionless coupling constants the canonical quantization is performed. It is shown that the self-consistency condition of this system with the second-class constraints in combination with the perturbative renormalizability leads to an SU(2) Yang-Mills theory with an additional mass term.

String Quartet #2 (Violin 2)
Creators: name: Elia, Anthony J.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2013
Subjects: Music

description: The String Quartet #2 was written during the Spring and Summer of 1994 (the work is dated June 7, 1994) and was dedicated to the composer's violin teacher, Dr. Herman R. Ash. Dr. Ash performed the work with his quartet during the summer of 1994 (only movements 1 and 4). The composer has since written several quartets (both fragmentary and fully completed works). The work represented here is of a style somewhat like Robert Schumann, as the composer was developing his own style at the time. The individual parts of this quartet are also available on Academic Commons.

Schrodinger invariant solutions of type IIB with enhanced supersymmetry

description: We construct the Killing spinors for a class of supersymmetric solutions of type IIB supergravity that are invariant under the non-relativistic Schrodinger algebra. The solutions depend on a five-dimensional Sasaki-Einstein space and it has been shown that they admit two Killing spinors. Here we will show that, for generic Sasaki-Einstein space, there are special subclasses of solutions which admit six Killing spinors and we determine the corresponding superisometry algebra. We also show that for the special case that the Sasaki-Einstein space is the round five-sphere, the number of Killing spinors can be increased to twelve.

A calculus of consequences and compassion : a comparative analysis of Mahay¿ívÖna Buddhist ethics and classical utilitarian ethics
Creators: name: Choephel, D
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This comparative thesis explores the idea of the moral evaluation of human conduct. The question to be answered is: Can the seemingly different Western philosophical perspective of Act Utilitarianism and the non-Western perspective of Mah¿ívÖy¿ívÖna Buddhist philosophy share a complementary system of calculus as a moral evaluation tool? The thesis answers this question affirmatively by addressing the following key points: ‚Äö Critically analysing points of similarity and difference ‚Äö To show that they are practical and can be applied in day to day life for anyone. ‚Äö To show that the morality of the person actually determines the calculus.

description: We demonstrate the formation of semimetal graphite/semiconductor Schottky barriers where the semiconductor is either silicon (Si), gallium arsenide (GaAs) or 4H-silicon carbide (4H-SiC). Near room temperature, the forward-bias diode characteristics are well described by thermionic emission, and the extracted barrier heights, which are confirmed by capacitance voltage measurements, roughly follow the Schottky-Mott relation. Since the outermost layer of the graphite electrode is a single graphene sheet, we expect that graphene/semiconductor barriers will manifest similar behavior.
