The influence of videogame reinforcement schedules on game play duration
Creators: name: Sault, DM
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: There are concerns that game developers incorporate structural videogame features designed specifically to maintain play, rather than for reasons such as increased enjoyment. We used a custom videogame to empirically investigate if ingame reinforcement schedules influence videogame playtime. 51 participants (24 female, 27 male), with ages ranging from 18 to 61 years (M = 25.88, SD = 12.31) were randomly allocated to one of three reinforcement conditions: no reinforcement, fixed-interval reinforcement, and variable-interval reinforcement. All participants played a chess-like puzzle game and were instructed to try and complete four available levels, with participants in reinforced conditions also instructed to try and collect all trophies (reinforcements) on a presented list. Importantly, all participants were instructed to only play for as long as they wished. Participants in reinforced conditions played for longer than participants in the control condition (p = .049, d = .76); however, no meaningful difference in playtime was observed between fixed and variable interval conditions (p = .848, d = .07). Results support principles of operant conditioning and provide preliminary evidence that structural videogame features can influence videogame playtime. Limitations concerning power, and implications for free-to-play videogames, awareness of potentially harmful videogame features, and problematic gaming interventions are discussed.
Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac distributions in nonextensive quantum statistics: Exact and interpolation approaches

description: Generalized Bose-Einstein (BE) and Fermi-Dirac (FD) distributions in nonextensive quantum statistics have been discussed by the maximum-entropy method (MEM) with the optimum Lagrange multiplier based on the exact integral representation [Rajagopal, Mendes, and Lenzi, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 80}, 3907 (1998)]. It has been shown that the $(q-1)$ expansion in the exact approach agrees with the result obtained by the asymptotic approach valid for $O(q-1)$. Model calculations have been made with a uniform density of states for electrons and with the Debye model for phonons. Based on the result of the exact approach, we have proposed the {\it interpolation approximation} to the generalized distributions, which yields results in agreement with the exact approach within $O(q-1)$ and in high- and low-temperature limits. By using the four methods of the exact, interpolation, factorization and superstatistical approaches, we have calculated coefficients in the generalized Sommerfeld expansion, and electronic and phonon specific heats at low temperatures. A comparison among the four methods has shown that the interpolation approximation is potentially useful in the nonextensive quantum statistics. Supplementary discussions have been made on the $(q-1)$ expansion of the generalized distributions based on the exact approach with the use of the un-normalized MEM, whose results also agree with those of the asymptotic approach.

Why do people seek help? An evaluation of treatment barriers and help-seeking in anxiety disorders
Creators: name: Langley, EL
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Anxiety disorders are common, and effective treatments exist; however, many people with anxiety disorders do not access these treatments. The current study aimed to examine treatment barriers specific to anxiety disorders, to examine how demographic variables influence treatment barriers for anxiety disorders in an Australian population, and to examine the utility of the Health Belief Model (HBM) in predicting help-seeking behaviour in relation to anxiety disorders. A convenience sample of 243 first year psychology students and other interested individuals aged over 18 completed online questionnaires examining predictors of help-seeking behaviour. An independent samples t-test revealed that 18-25 year olds experience significantly more treatment barriers than those over 25. In addition, a standard multiple regression analysis determined that 51% of the variance in help-seeking intention can be accounted for by the HBM, with gender and perceived treatment benefits making significant contributions to the model. Results demonstrate that age may be an important variable to consider when designing health promotion campaigns to reduce barriers for people with anxiety disorders. Furthermore, it was evident that HBM factors can predict help-seeking behaviour for anxiety disorders, and that increasing perceived benefits of treatment may be an effective strategy for increasing appropriate help-seeking.
Fermion mass hierarchy and new physics at the TeV scale

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

description: In this talk, I present a new framework to understand the long-standing fermion mass hierarchy puzzle. We extend the Standard Model gauge symmetry by an extra local U(1)_S symmetry, broken spontaneously at the electroweak scale. All the SM particles are singlet with respect to this U(1)_S. We also introduce additional flavor symmetries, U(1)_F's, with flavon scalars F_i, as well as vectorlike quarks and leptons at the TeV scale. The flavon scalars have VEV in the TeV scale. Only the top quark has the usual dimension four Yukawa coupling. EW symmetry breaking to all other quarks and leptons are propagated through the messenger field, S through their interactions involving the heavy vector-like fermions and S, as well as through their interactions involving the vector-like fermions and F_i. In addition the explaining the hierarchy of the charged fermion masses and mixings, the model has several interesting predictions for Higgs decays, flavor changing neutral current processes in the top and the b quark decays, decays of the new singlet scalars to the new Z' boson, as well as productions of the new vectorlike quarks. These predictions can be tested at the LHC.

description: Using the Brans-Dicke theory of gravitation we put under investigation a hypothetical universe filled with a fermionic field (with a self interaction potential) and a matter constituent ruled by a barotropic equation of state. It is shown that the fermionic field (in combination with the Brans-Dicke scalar field) could be responsible for a final accelerated era, after an initial matter dominated period.

description: Past research has shown that attributions of intentions to other's actions determine how we experience these actions and their consequences. Yet, it is unknown how such attributions affect our learning and memory. Addressing this question, we combined neuroimaging with an interactive threat learning paradigm in which two interaction partners (confederates) made choices that had either threatening (shock) or safe (no shock) consequences for the participants. Importantly, participants were led to believe that one partner intentionally caused the delivery of shock, whereas the other did not (i.e. unintentional partner). Following intentional versus unintentional shocks, participants reported an inflated number of shocks and a greater increase in anger and vengeance. We applied a model-based representational similarity analysis to BOLD-MRI patterns during learning. Surprisingly, we did not find any effects of intentionality. The threat value of actions, however, was represented as a trial-by-trial increase in representational similarity in the insula and the inferior frontal gyrus. Our findings illustrate how neural pattern formation can be used to study a complex interaction.

description: In 2001, accounting regulators, especially those in the U.S., began to reconsider the rules of consolidation with a move toward a requirement based on “control,” with much less consideration of the size of the equity stake. The fundamental accounting and reporting issue for the Coca-Cola Company was whether the investment in and operation of anchor bottlers such as Coca-Cola Enterprises should be reported as a consolidated subsidiary or as an investment and, if the latter, whether that investment should be accounted for using the equity method of accounting, at fair value, or at cost. The case includes a detailed history of the Coca-Cola Company.

description: Measurements of the neutral current cross sections for deep inelastic scattering in e^- p collisions at HERA with a longitudinally polarised electron beam are presented. The single-differential cross-sections dsigma/dQ^2, dsigma/dx and dsigma/dy and the double-differential cross sections in Q^2 and x are measured in the kinematic region y < 0.9 and Q^2 > 185 GeV^2 for both positively and negatively polarised electron beams and for each polarisation state separately. The measurements are based on an integrated luminosity of 169.9 pb^-1 taken with the ZEUS detector in 2005 and 2006 at a centre-of-mass energy of 318 GeV. The structure functions xF_3 and xF_3^{γZ} are determined by combining the e^- p results presented in this paper with previously measured e^+ p neutral current data. The asymmetry parameter A^- is used to demonstrate the parity violating effects of electroweak interactions at large spacelike photon virtuality. The measurements agree well with the predictions of the Standard Model.

description: We theoretically study the superradiant gain and the direction of this coherent radiant for an array of Bose-Einstein condensates in an optical lattice. We find that the density grating is formed to amplify the scattering light within the phase match condition. The scattering spectroscopy in the momentum space can provide a method for measuring the overlap of wavefunction between the neighboring sites, which is related to their inner-site and inter-site coherence.
Polymer nanoparticles and their supracolloidal monolithic structures for applications in separation science
Creators: name: Khodabandeh, A
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Porous polymers generated from high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs), having interconnected open-void morphology, low density and high porosity up to 95%, are finding various applications including separation science due to their exceptional properties, such as tunable pore size and surface characters. A new class of polyHIPE materials has been prepared using HIPE template stabilized by a series of tailor-made polymeric surfactant as sole stabilizer. These polymeric surfactants were synthesized by radical addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, which from the obtained copolymer is called an amphiphilic macro-RAFT agent. The first section focuses on the preparation and characterization of functionalized polyHIPE materials prepared via HIPE-template stabilized by an anionic polymeric surfactant. The presence of these amphiphilic species allowed the successful preparation of a polyHIPE upon polymerization. The effect of concentration of macro-RAFT agent, pH, initiator, hexadecane as an organic modifier and the polymerization temperature on the morphology of the resulting porous materials was investigated. A strategy for preparation of functional polyHIPEs and a tool to transfer the RAFT moiety to the surface by introducing macro-RAFT agent was established. Upon development of various new polyHIPE materials, an inverse high internal phase emulsion was introduced to a capillary format as a 'column housing'. The influence of the PEO-based brush-type amphiphilic macro-RAFT agents on the morphology and surface chemistry of the resulting macroporous polymers is discussed in detail. Using nano-liquid chromatography, it is shown that the polyHIPE are decorated with different microenvironments amongst the voids or domains of the monolithic structure. This is the first reported use of a hydrophilic polyHIPE in a capillary format as a stationary phase and also the first demonstration of the role of the RAFT group of the emulsifier in the attachment of the obtained polyHIPE to the inner surface of a capillary format column. Furthermore, polyHIPE materials have also been prepared by using water in oil template using macro-RAFT agent as polymeric surfactant, while the RAFT part of the macro-RAFT agent is placed in the oil phase (monomer phase). The obtained polyHIPE is a tough material with a close structure. The pore structure of polyHIPEs was closed. Further study shows that by removing the RAFT-end group of the polymeric surfactant, the obtained polyHIPE possess an open structure with voids. The effect of the RAFT part of the polymeric surfactant on the surface chemistry of the polyHIPE is discussed. Novel technology was developed to allow straightforward functionalization of the obtained polyHIPE via surfactant-assisted functionalization strategy for application in separation science as a new functionalized stationary phase.

This article concerns the question how much can be said for arbitrary $k \in R$ and we show that for each $k$ there exists a Lie groupoid which has the level $k$ central extension as its quotient if $k \in Z$. By considering categorified principal bundles we show, moreover, that the corresponding Lie groupoid has the expected bundle structure.

A train of off-resonant ultrafast laser pulses is used to efficiently and coherently transfer population between electronic and vibrational states of trapped atomic ions and implement an entangling quantum logic gate with high fidelity. This technique can be extended to the high field regime where operations can be performed faster than the trap frequency. This general approach can be applied to more complex quantum systems, such as large collections of interacting atoms or molecules.

description: Previous theoretical work has speculated about the existence of double-diffusive magnetic buoyancy instabilities of a dynamically evolving horizontal magnetic layer generated by the interaction of forced vertically sheared velocity and a background vertical magnetic field. Here we confirm numerically that if the ratio of the magnetic to thermal diffusivities is sufficiently low then such instabilities can indeed exist, even for high Richardson number shear flows. Magnetic buoyancy may therefore occur via this mechanism for parameters that are likely to be relevant to the solar tachocline, where regular magnetic buoyancy instabilities are unlikely.

description: Combining Monte Carlo radiative transfer simulations and accurate 2D bulge/disc decompositions, we present a new study to investigate the effects of dust attenuation on the apparent structural properties of the disc and bulge of spiral galaxies. We find that dust affects the results from such decompositions in ways which cannot be identified when one studies dust effects on bulge and disc components separately. In particular, the effects of dust in galaxies hosting pseudo-bulges might be different from those in galaxies hosting classical bulges, even if their dust content is identical. Confirming previous results, we find that disc scale lengths are overestimated when dust effects are important. In addition, we also find that bulge effective radii and Sersic indices are underestimated. Furthermore, the apparent attenuation of the integrated disc light is underestimated, whereas the corresponding attenuation of bulge light is overestimated. Dust effects are more significant for the bulge parameters, and, combined, they lead to a strong underestimation of the bulge-to-disc ratio, which can reach a factor of two in the V band, even at relatively low galaxy inclinations and dust opacities. Nevertheless, it never reaches factors larger than about three, which corresponds to a factor of two in bulge-to-total ratio. Such effect can have an impact on studies of the black hole/bulge scaling relations.

description: We study the orbital evolution of wide binary stars in the solar neighborhood due to gravitational perturbations from passing stars. We include the effects of the Galactic tidal field and continue to follow the stars after they become unbound. For a wide variety of initial semi-major axes and formation times, we find that the number density (stars per unit logarithmic interval in projected separation) exhibits a minimum at a few times the Jacobi radius r_J, which equals 1.7 pc for a binary of solar-mass stars. The density peak interior to this minimum arises from the primordial distribution of bound binaries, and the exterior density, which peaks at \sim 100--300 pc separation, arises from formerly bound binaries that are slowly drifting apart. The exterior peak gives rise to a significant long-range correlation in the positions and velocities of disk stars that should be detectable in large astrometric surveys such as GAIA that can measure accurate three-dimensional distances and velocities.

In particular, the roles of principals and teachers have received considerable research interest both in Australia and internationally. Those who lead from the middle level of leadership in secondary schools however, have received much less research interest. As such, those who are responsible for leading the learning from a faculty or subject department perspective formed the research interest of this study. This study has aimed to provide a better understanding of the role of middle level leader in New South Wales (Australia) Catholic secondary schools. The research explored the role as it was practised by eight middle level leaders, in six different Catholic secondary schools, in a regional diocese of New South Wales. The study investigated what middle level leaders did in their role, how their articulated role descriptions matched with the lived experience of their role and how the role has evolved over time. Principals of the eight middle level leaders were also interviewed to examine how their expectations aligned with those holding the role. In addition, the study sought to find whether there was unfulfilled potential in the role of middle level leadership. A conceptual framework was developed from the literature to identify key aspects at play for the role. The framework also illustrates the silences and those under-researched areas in the research literature. It highlights how this study might inform potential future understandings. The research methodology used a qualitative, multiple case study approach. It included two rounds of interviews with the eight middle level leader participants, interviews with their principals, as well as focus groups of middle level leaders and document analyses. Data were analysed and reduced to produce eight key themes. These themes provided insight into how the role was experienced. It is clear from this study that there is a need to better frame the role, subject to its local context, with clear role expectations, boundaries and authority. This reframing would be best served by engaging in a distributed leadership approach, where middle level leaders are empowered to lead learning and to make greater contributions to leadership in the school more generally. There appears to be unfulfilled potential in the role at present. It is incumbent on senior leaders to tap into this potential so the role can be strengthened to benefit schools and students. Notably, middle level leaders and their principals are generally not well aligned in terms of their expectations. An outcome of this study is a series of seven recommendations to bring about a re-imagination of the role. A model of effective middle level leadership is developed from the research to illustrate the potential for the role with its attendant complexity and demands.

description: This resource is a single blog post created as part of the Day of Archaeology initiative. The Day of Archaeology project aimed to provide a window into the daily lives of archaeologists from all over the world. The project asked people working, studying or volunteering in the archaeological world to participate in a 'Day of Archaeology' each year by recording their day and sharing it through text, images or video on the Day of Archaeology blog.
The project asked anyone with a personal, professional or voluntary interest in archaeology to get involved, and help highlight the reasons why archaeology is vital to protect the past and inform our futures. The resulting Day of Archaeology project archive demonstrates the wide variety of work the archaeological profession undertakes day-to-day across the globe, and helps to raise public awareness of the relevance and importance of archaeology to the modern world.
The first ever Day of Archaeology was held in 2011 and, since then, the project had thousands of archaeologists take part in the event, from those working in the field through to specialists working in laboratories and behind computers. The last Day of Archaeology was on Friday 28th July 2017.

description: На сегодняшний день безусловно, что процветание, в социальном и экономическом плане будет обусловлено возможностями самообразования и саморазвития, на протяжении всей жизни (lifelong education). Сегодня многие исследователи ставят перед собой вопрос - как может выглядеть и быть сформирована подходящая среда обучения, позволяющая обеспечить такой рост. Верным является тот факт, что эти поиски ведутся сегодня в рамках парадигмы непрерывного обучения. Характеризуя эту категорию, необходимо отметить, что сегодня это скорее интеллектуальная идея, которая имеет множество форм и моделей.

description: The present research is done based on the major factors which are affecting the production of wheat crop inGulomekada woreda, Eastern Tigray, Ethiopia. The Gulomekada is one of the main wheat producing area in the tigray region. But, recently the production of wheat decreased due to different reasons such as land size, pesticide, fertilizer,temperature and rainfall. The present study was about the statistical analysis of the factors affecting the production ofwheat crop. The collected data was a secondary source of data about the factors affecting the production of wheat andthe data analyzed by the descriptive and inferential statistics. From the results of the present study, the averageproduction of wheat in the Gulomakeda woreda for the past 10 years was 14719.25 quintal per hectare. The averageland size, pesticide, fertilizer, temperature and rainfall in the past 10 years 2476.68hectare, 1755.00lts, 4054.70qu,20.50℃ and 933.90mm respectively. In addition, from the multiple linear regression models some independentvariables (factors) like land size, fertilizer, temperature and rainfall are statistically significant at 5% level ofsignificance.

description: Sound emergence in clarinetlike instruments is investigated in terms of instability of the static regime. Various models of reed-bore coupling are considered, from the pioneering work of Wilson and Beavers ["Operating modes of the clarinet", J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 56, 653--658 (1974)] to more recent modeling including viscothermal bore losses and vena contracta at the reed inlet. The pressure threshold above which these models may oscillate as well as the frequency of oscillation at threshold are calculated. In addition to Wilson and Beavers' previous conclusions concerning the role of the reed damping in the selection of the register the instrument will play on, the influence of the reed motion induced flow is also emphasized, particularly its effect on playing frequencies, contributing to reduce discrepancies between Wilson and Beavers' experimental results and theory, despite discrepancies still remain concerning the pressure threshold. Finally, analytical approximations of the oscillating solution based on Fourier series expansion are obtained in the vicinity of the threshold of oscillation. This allows to emphasize the conditions which determine the nature of the bifurcation (direct or inverse) through which the note may emerge, with therefore important consequences on the musical playing performances.
