description: We review our recent achievements in the construction of microscopic mass tables based on the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method with Skyrme effective interactions. In the latest of our series of HFB-mass models, we have obtained our best fit ever to essentially all the available mass data, by treating the pairing more realistically than in any of our earlier models. The rms deviation on the 2149 measured masses of nuclei with N and Z>8 has been reduced for the first time in a mean field approach to 0.581 MeV. With the additional constraint on the neutron-matter equation of state, this new force is thus very well-suited for the study of neutron-rich nuclei and for the description of astrophysical environments like supernova cores and neutron-star crusts.

description: We present a new catalogue of blazars based on multi-frequency surveys and on an extensive review of the literature. Blazars are classified as BL Lacertae objects, as flat spectrum radio quasars or as blazars of uncertain/transitional type. Each object is identified by a root name, coded as BZB, BZQ and BZU for these three subclasses respectively, and by its coordinates. This catalogue is being built as a tool useful for the identification of the extragalactic sources that will be detected by present and future experiments for X and gamma-ray astronomy, like Swift, AGILE, Fermi-GLAST and Simbol-X.

description: The performance metrics of different centroiding algorithms at low light level conditions were optimized in the case of a Shack Hartmann Sensor (SHS) for efficient performance of the adaptive optics system. For short exposures and low photon flux, the Hartmann spot does not have a Gaussian shape due to the photon noise which follows Poissonian statistics. The centroiding estimation error was calculated at different photon levels in the case of changing spot size and shift in the spot using Monte Carlo simulations. This analysis also proves to be helpful in optimizing the SHS specifications at low light levels.

Studies of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid degradation in pulp mill process liquors
Creators: name: Blackwell, Damien Mark
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The general focus of this study was to synthesise 1-(carboxymethyl)-4-[2- [bis(carboxymethyl)amino]ethyl]-2-oxopiperazine (1a), a cyclic degradation product of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) present in pulping liquors, and then determine its complexing ability with metal ions of relevance to the paper industry. Three independent but related methods were developed for the preparation of 1a, although ultimately it was necessary to fully develop only one. In this method, 2- chloroethyliminodiacetonitrile was prepared by Mannich's reaction of 2- chloroethylamine, formaldehyde and potassium cyanide and converted to dimethyl 2-chloroethyliminodiacetate by treatment with gaseous HC1 in methanol. Alkylation of 1-methoxycarbonylmethyl-2-oxopiperazine with dimethyl 2- chloroethyliminodiacetate produced 1-(methoxycarbonylmethyl)-4-[2- [bis(methoxycarbonylmethyl)amino]ethyl]-2-oxopiperazine, which when hydrolysed in acidic solution gave the trihydrochloride salt of 1a. The overall yield of 1a trihydrochloride (via 1-methoxycarbonylmethyl-2-oxopiperazine) was 20%. Using this new method, sufficient quantities of 1a were synthesised for both characterisation and complexing studies.
Quasinormal modes of the BTZ black hole are generated by surface waves supported by its boundary at infinity

description: We develop the complex angular momentum method in the context of the BTZ black hole physics. This is achieved by extending a formalism introduced a long time ago by Arnold Sommerfeld, which allows us to define and use the Regge pole concept in a framework where the notion of an $S$ matrix does not exist. The Regge poles of the BTZ black hole are exactly obtained and from the associated Regge trajectories we determine its quasinormal mode complex frequencies. Furthermore, our approach permits us to physically interpret them: they appear as Breit-Wigner-type resonances generated by surface waves supported by the black hole boundary at infinity which acts as a photon sphere.

As new results, we present the four-loop correction to the second and third physical moment in the low-energy expansions of vector, axial-vector and scalar quark current correlators. Using a Ward identity, we obtain the third and fourth moment for the pseudo-scalar correlator. We briefly discuss the impact of these results on the determination of the charm quark mass and the strong coupling constant using lattice simulations for the current correlators and of the charm- and bottom-quark mass from experimental data for σ(e^+ e^- -> hadrons).

description: Household robots need to communicate with human beings in a friendly fashion. To achieve better understanding of displayed information, an importance and a certainty of the information should be communicated together with the main information. The proposed intent expression system aims to convey this additional information using an eye robot. The eye motions are represented as states in a pleasure-arousal space model. Change of the model state is calculated by fuzzy inference according to the importance and certainty of the displayed information. This change influences the arousal-sleep coordinate in the space which corresponds to activeness in communication. The eye robot provides a basic interface for the mascot robot system which is an easy to understand information terminal for home environments in a humatronics society.

Applications of representation theory
Creators: name: Alghofari, AR
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis presents two applications of representation theory of locally compact groups. The first is concerned with random walks, the second with Mackey's Intertwining Number Theorem. Firstly, we consider the random walk on a collection of chambers bounded by hyperplanes in a given subspace E of Rn+1 . Initially, a particular transition probability is used in the first part of this analysis, and the identification of the collection of chambers with a reflection group provides necessary tools for obtaining a criterion for the recurrence of that walk. Next, the techniques of representation theory are used to deal with the generalization of the random walk when transition probability is considered to be a general probability measure on the group concerned. Secondly, Mackey's Intertwining Number Theorem for one dimensional representations of open and closed subgroups of a given locally compact group G is generalized. A similar result to Mackey's is obtained in the case where the representations are finite dimensional. The recent developments in the theory of Aqp, spaces (in which such spaces are recognized as preduals of spaces of intertwining operators of induced representations) are being simplified under the condition that the subgroups are open and closed. These results, together with the fact that the space of intertwining operators between two representations can be identified with the dual of the G-tensor product of the corresponding representation spaces (endowed with the greatest cross-norm) are used to carry out the analysis.
Symmetries and symmetry breaking patterns in QCD: chiral and deconfinement transitions

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The symmetry breaking pattern of QCD features two seemingly disconnected phenomena: the spontaneous breakdown of the Z(3) center symmetry in the deconfinement transition of pure-gauge QCD, and the spontaneous breaking of chiral SU(N_f)xSU(N_f) symmetry in the limit of N_f massless quark flavours. The dynamical entanglement of these symmetries is displayed in the framework of a schematic model (the PNJL model) in comparison with results from Lattice QCD. Extensions to non-zero baryon chemical potential are discussed.

Superalgebraisation of BFV-BRST quantisation
Creators: name: Corney, Stuart
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: In recent years it has been shown that, for the BFV-BRST extended phase-space quantisation of relativistic systems, hidden higher symmetry superalgebras are relevant. We examine the relationship between the BFV-BRST extended phase space construction for several cases and the structure of certain classes of representations of orthosymplectic superalgebras osp(D, 2/2) and their inhomogeneous extensions. Our motivation is to show, by way of several examples, how the hidden symmetry is manifested in the BFV-BRST method. In this class of superalgebras the physical particle states (that is, irreducible representations of the Poincare algebra, carried on appropriate types of relativistic wavefunctions) appear as the resolution of the BRST complex. This complex is naturally provided via an appropriate nilpotent odd generator (the BRST operator). Specific examples studied are the relativistic scalar and spinning particle, as well as a generalisation of the scalar particle in two dimensions, which we show to be associated with the exceptional superalgebra D(2, 1; a). This superalgebra is isomorphic to osp (2, 2/2) for a = 1.

description: We analyze the equilibrium transport properties of underscreened Kondo effect in the case of a two-level quantum dot coupled to ferromagnetic leads. Using the numerical renormalization group (NRG) method, we have determined the gate voltage dependence of the dot's spin and level-resolved spectral functions. We have shown that the polarization of the dot is very susceptible to spin imbalance in the leads and changes sign in the middle of the S=1 Coulomb valley. Furthermore, we have also found that by fine-tuning an external magnetic field one can compensate for the presence of ferromagnetic leads and restore the Kondo effect in the case of $S=1/2$ Coulomb valley. However, the underscreened Kondo effect cannot be fully recovered due to its extreme sensitivity with respect to the magnetic field.

description: The subspace channel was introduced by Koetter and Kschischang as an adequate model for the communication channel from the source node to a sink node of a multicast network that performs random linear network coding. So far, attention has been given to one-shot subspace codes, that is, codes that use the subspace channel only once. In contrast, this paper explores the idea of using the subspace channel more than once and investigates the so called multishot subspace codes. We present definitions for the problem, a motivating example, lower and upper bounds for the size of codes, and a multilevel construction of codes based on block-coded modulation.

description: Long-term trends in the solar spectral irradiance are important to determine the impact on Earth's climate. These long-term changes are thought to be caused mainly by changes in the surface area covered by small-scale magnetic elements. The direct measurement of the contrast to determine the impact of these small-scale magnetic elements is, however, limited to a few wavelengths, and is, even for space instruments, affected by scattered light and instrument defocus. In this work we calculate emergent intensities from 3-D simulations of solar magneto-convection and validate the outcome by comparing with observations from Hinode/SOT. In this manner we aim to construct the contrast at wavelengths ranging from the NUV to the FIR.

Middle powers in the modern state system : a case study of Australia's role as a regional actor
Creators: name: Chia, Keng Wei Edmund
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Foreign policy represents the effort of a state to defend its interests in international relations, and power encapsulates the various factors that measure the limits of a state's capacity in the promotion of its national interests. This thesis examines the various factors, under the rubric of power, which has guided the foreign policy of a middle power, Australia. It argues that middle powers occupy a special niche within the context of regional subsets of the general state system. It demonstrates that a middle power, like Australia, is attracted to the use of multilateral institutional arrangements, as a vehicle for influence in foreign policy, to defend general interests within its geographic region. Four geographic regions, the South West Pacific, the Antarctic region, the South East Asian region and the Indian Ocean region, are surveyed. This thesis finds that multilateral institutional arrangements have become the primary agency of Australia's regional influence as a middle power but concludes that the utility of regional arrangements varies with the geographic context in which a middle power is situated.

description: Switzerland is undoubtedly one of the richest countries in the world. It also inherits the most extensive elements of direct democracy amongst the world's democratic states. One would think that therefore human rights of Swiss citizens are quite protected. This is however not the case if you belong to the Swiss disabled population. Although Switzerland has ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in 2014, the latest monitoring cycle shows that Switzerland still has a long way to go to ensure that the rights of its disabled citizens are protected and enforced.
Focusing on the area of independent living the paper outlines the ongoing obstacles people with disabilities experience in their everyday lives. Based on a policy review it will be shown how policies and jurisdictions in place hinder full social participation of disabled people and strengthen institutionalisation instead. While inhabiting less than 9 million people (1.8 million living with a disability), there are four official Swiss languages (sign language not being one of them) and the country consists of 26 independent cantons. In all 26 cantons there is an independent disability legislation in place. The paper argues that the so called "Kantönlisgeist" (cantonal provincialism) can be seen as one of the main obstacles for disabled people's full social participation and it also makes alliances more difficult. Despite all obstacles there recently have been few legislative changes showing that persistence can be seen as a key to change and abolish discriminative policies in place. Within this process the CRPD has been a framework that ensures that despite all regional and cantonal differences a common language – that is based on human rights – is spoken.

description: We present high resolution images of the 12CO(2-1) emission in the central 1' (1 kpc) of NGC 5128 (Centaurus A), observed using the SMA. We elucidate for the first time the distribution and kinematics of the molecular gas in this region with a resolution of 6'.0 x 2'.4 (100 pc x 40 pc). We spatially resolve the circumnuclear molecular gas in the inner 24'' x 12'' (400 pc x 200 pc), which is elongated along a position angle P.A. = 155 deg and perpendicular to the radio/X-ray jet. The SE and NW components of the circumnuclear gas are connected to molecular gas found at larger radii. This gas appears as two parallel filaments at P.A. = 120 deg, which are coextensive with the long sides of the 3 kiloparsec parallelogram shape of the previously observed dust continuum, as well as ionized and pure rotational H2 lines. Spatial and kinematical asymmetries are apparent in both the circumnuclear and outer gas, suggesting non-coplanar and/or non-circular motions. We extend to inner radii (r < 200 pc) previously studied warped disk models built to reproduce the central parallelogram-shaped structure. Adopting the warped disk model we would confirm a gap in emission between the radii r = 200 - 800 pc (12'' - 50''), as has been suggested previously. Although this model explains this prominent feature, however, our 12CO(2-1) observations show relevant deviations from this model. Namely, the physical connection between the circumnuclear gas and that at larger radii, brighter SE and NW sides on the parallelogram-shaped feature, and an outer curvature of its long sides. Overall it resembles more closely an S-shaped morphology, a trend that is also found in other molecular species. Hence, we explore qualitatively the possible contribution of a weak bi-symmetric potential which would naturally explain these peculiarities.

title: Comparing treatment methods of canine hypoadrenocorticism
Creators: name: Spence, Susanna
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Hypoadrenocorticism, canine, DOCP, fludrocortisone acetate.

description: Management of canine hypoadrenocorticism relies on supplementation of glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids. Although previous studies show success of both a steroid with combined activity (fludrocortisone) and steroids with separate activities (DOCP with prednisolone) in the management of canine hypoadrenocorticism, the two treatment methods had never been prospectively compared. The objective of this clinical trial was to compare fludrocortisone to DOCP with prednisolone for the management of canine hypoadrenocorticism in stable patients. A prospective, randomised, cross-over, non-blinded, non-inferiority trial was conducted. Patients were randomised into two groups: Group A received three months of treatment with the interventional product (DOCP and prednisolone) followed by three months of the control product (fludrocortisone) whilst Group B received three months of the control product followed by three months of the interventional product. Primary outcome measures were electrolyte concentrations and clinical signs at the end of each phase of the trial. Secondary outcome measures included plasma renin activity, endogenous ACTH, blood pressure and routine haematology/biochemistry results. No dogs had clinical signs of hypoadrenocorticism or hyponatraemia/hyperkalaemia at the end of the DOCP phase of the trial. Three dogs however were hyponatraemic at the end of the fludrocortisone phase of the trial, although no patients were hyperkalaemic or showed clinical signs of hypoadrenocorticism. The blood pressure was significantly higher (Paired T test; P=0.006) at the end of the DOCP phase (mean 161mmHg; SD 26.3) than at the end of the fludrocortisone phase (mean 147mmHg; SD 26.2). The neutrophil count was significantly higher (Paired T test; P=0.009) at the end of the DOCP phase (mean 7.49x10^9/L; SD 3.1) compared to the fludrocortisone phase (mean 5.81x10^9/L; SD 2.31). The urea was significantly lower (Wilcoxon Signed Rank test; P <0.001) at the end of the DOCP phase (median 5.3mmol/L; 2.9-11.7) compared to the end of the fludrocortisone phase (median 7.4mmol/L; 3.8-17.2). The creatinine was also significantly lower (Paired T test; P=0.001) at the end of the DOCP phase (mean 96umol/L; 19.2) compared to the fludrocortisone phase (mean 109umol/L 28.9). The ACTH and renin concentrations were significantly lower at the end of the DOCP phase compared to the fludrocortisone phase (Wilcoxon Signed Rank test; both P <0.001). In conclusion, DOCP with prednisolone appears to be non-inferior to fludrocortisone acetate for the management of canine hypoadrenocorticism.

description: The Global Magnetorotational Instability (MRI) is investigated for a configuration in which the rotation frequency changes only in a narrow transition region. If the vertical wavelength of the unstable mode is of the same order or smaller than the width of this region, the growth rates can differ significantly from those given by a local analysis. In addition, the non-axisymmetric spectrum admits overstable modes with a non-trivial dependence on azimuthal wavelength, a feature missed by the local theory. In the limit of vanishing transition region width, the Rayleigh-centrifugal instability is recovered in the axisymmetric case, and the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in the non-axisymmetric case.

Re-present to reconnect: A study of natural phenomena

description: This research project investigated visual strategies for photographically representing natural phenomena. It sought to re-sensitise the viewer to the significance of natural phenomena through focusing attention on the detail and nuance displayed by local natural events. The project was pursued through the adoption of a static position at selected sites, to make photographic and video recordings of meteorological events unfolding over sustained periods of occupation. My efforts were eventually confined to a single site to enable more detailed observation of the fluctuating impact of wind on water. This is an aesthetic modified by variables such as wind speed and direction, tidal variation, time of day, cloud density, variation in swell pattern and the constant of local topography. My research explored the way in which choice of camera, lenses, focal length, exposure time and computer software all affected representational outcomes. Writing referenced in the exegesis includes Carl Jung , Maurice Merlau-Ponty, David Abram and Paul Shepard's explorations of the roots of our attitude towards nature; Gaston Bachelard's concept of the sea as mother figure and the art/nature considerations of Arnold Berleant and Alan Carlson. Contextually the project was stimulated by a study of the works of artists including Caspar David Friedrich, much of whose work conveys a subjective emotional response to the natural world; Hiroshi Sugimoto, whose photographic seascapes express his attention to nuance and detail; Bill Viola, whose use of innovative contemporary video explores thresholds of experience; James Turrell, who draws attention to natural phenomena with the frame and Mark Rothko, whose painted surfaces reveal a minimal number of elements contained within a limited space. I also reflected on the work of Jem Southam who constantly revisits local sites to photograph change occurring over time, and the works of photographers Murray Fredericks and David Stephenson that reveal reductive strategies. The outcome of the research is a body of still photographs and video works, depicting the impact of wind on water. The video work illustrates change occurring over time, while the still images freeze the activity and allow for close inspection of nuance and detail. Ronald Hepburn describes how the modern artist has moved away from original concerns with the imitation and representation of the natural environment, to the creation of new objects that may be contemplated in their own right, and are more expressive of the inner landscape of the human psyche. The works in the exhibition return to those original concerns with imitation of nature, and at the same time, amplify my subjective response through aesthetic choices involving framing, scale, and detail.

description: With the advent of modern smartphones, the possibility of embedding measurement software into apps to automatically trigger background performance tests constitutes an interesting data source for mobile network operators (MNOs) to complement dedicated testing campaigns as well as user-triggered speedtests. These background triggered measurements enable a higher level of control over the time and place of measurements. However, the shared resources offered by mobile networks can not be used in an unfettered way, which limits the measurement frequency & volume possible in such measurement campaigns.Previous work has shown that LTE cell load can be inferred from signal quality measurements by devices in an experimental setup. This work examines the possibilities of inferring the time series of key performance indicators in a live LTE network using data collected by way of background-triggered crowdsourcing measurements.Based on two matched datasets consisting of a) background-triggered crowdsourcing measurements and b) radio access network performance indicators, LSTM recurrent neural network models for time series regression are compared against different regression methods based on linear and decision tree-based models with respect to performance and model interpretability.Both the magnitude of the load curves and the temporal location of peak loads in LTE cells can be reliably estimated by using only background-triggered crowdsourcing data. In most scenarios, the LSTM recurrent neural network model out performed all other models with respect to both the root mean squared error (between 4% and40% improvement compared to the best alternative model) of the predicted timeseries, as well as the success ratio of temporal peak detection within the time series (between 80% and 145% improvement compared to the best alternative model). Furthermore,performance measurements collected using a background-triggered crowd sourcing approach can aid in estimating cell load when used in conjunction with signal quality. Finally, the effect of additional noise and missing data is examinedand used to inform decisions about the viability of using crowdsourcing data given certain measurement conditions.

description: We construct approximate formulas for the O(α_s^3) QCD contributions to vector, axial-vector, scalar and pseudo-scalar quark current correlators, which are valid for arbitrary values of momenta and masses. The derivation is based on conformal mapping and the Pade approximation procedure and incorporates known expansions in the low energy, threshold and high energy regions. We use our results to estimate additional terms in these expansions.

description: Shubnikov-de Haas and de Haas-van Alphen effects have been measured in the underdoped high temperature superconductor YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6.51}$. Data are in agreement with the standard Lifshitz-Kosevitch theory, which confirms the presence of a coherent Fermi surface in the ground state of underdoped cuprates. A low frequency $F = 530 \pm 10$ T is reported in both measurements, pointing to small Fermi pocket, which corresponds to 2% of the first Brillouin zone area only. This low value is in sharp contrast with that of overdoped Tl$_2$Ba$_2$CuO$_{6+δ}$, where a high frequency $F = 18$ kT has been recently reported and corresponds to a large hole cylinder in agreement with band structure calculations. These results point to a radical change in the topology of the Fermi surface on opposing sides of the cuprate phase diagram.
