title: The Mid-Pleistocene landscape history of the Lower Aare Valley with emphasis on subglacial overdeepening
Creators: name: Gegg, Lukas
Publisher: name: Universität Bern
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: 550 Earth sciences & geology

description: Throughout the most recent part of geological history, glaciers repeatedly built up in the Alps and advanced into the mountain foreland, episodically covering the majority of Switzerland and neighbouring regions with ice. This had severe geomorphic impacts that include the subglacial erosion of overdeepenings. These closed basins are not only a potential source of geohazards, but also contain valuable resources and archives of past environments, and therefore deserve our closer attention. However, our knowledge of i) the erosional mechanisms and the subglacial conditions that lead to the formation of overdeepenings, and ii) of the number, the timing, and the extent of Alpine glaciations, is still very limited.

The present thesis is centred around four scientific boreholes in the Lower Aare Valley in northern Switzerland and addresses the above-mentioned uncertainties. The study area hosts the overdeepened Gebenstorf-Stilli Trough, whose subsurface morphology is the first major focus. It is constrained by borehole and geophysical data that together reveal a complex trough shape controlled by the particular local bedrock architecture comprising rocks of varying subglacial erodibility. The results further highlight the important role of basal water in overdeepening erosion, which is further corroborated in a second case study. There, surficial brecciation of the walls of a paleokarst network in limestone underlying the overdeepening is presented. Following detailed macro- and microscopic analysis, it is interpreted as the result of subglacial hydrofracturing, and thus illustrates the extreme water pressures below the glacier ice.

Finally, the focus is shifted towards the sedimentary archives of the Gebenstorf-Stilli Trough and its surrounding. Based on a multi-method sedimentological approach, the diverse Quaternary deposits are characterised and their depositional history is reconstructed. Several phases of glacial and glaciofluvial reactivation of the major drainage pathways as well as contributions from confluent glaciers are identified. An integration of luminescence data indicates that overdeepening erosion in the Lower Aare Valley dates back to MIS 10 or earlier, and that the local sedimentary record spans large parts of the Middle and Late Pleistocene.

description: We present radial-velocity sequences acquired during three transits of the exoplanet HD 189733b and one transit of the CoRoT-3b. We applied a combined Markov-Chain Monte Carlo analysis of spectroscopic and photometric data on these stars, to determine a full set of system parameters including the project spin-orbit misalignement angle of HD 189733b to an unprecedented precision via the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect: beta = 0.85 degrees (+0.32 -0.28) . This small but non-zero inclination of the planetary orbit is important to understand the origin of the system. On CoRoT-3b, results seem to point towards a non-zero inclination as well with beta = 37.6 degrees (+10.0 -22.3), but this remains marginal. Systematic effects due to non-gaussian cross-correlation functions appear to be the main cause of significant residuals that prevent an accurate determination of the projected stellar rotation velocity V sin(I) for both stars.

The Kwangtung peasant movement, 1922-1928
Creators: name: Gruetter, Robert James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The peasant movement that swept China in the mid 1920's originated in Kwangtung Province in 1922 when P'eng P'ai organized peasant unions in Haifeng hsien. The unions spread into neighboring hsien, but not until 1924, following the reorganization of the Kuomintang and its alliance with the Chinese Communist Party and the subsequent creation of the Peasant Bureau and Peasant Institute, did the peasant movement spread throughout the province. The peasant unions grew rapidly and by June 1927 they had enrolled perhaps 700,000 members. The very explosiveness of the movement's development and the increasingly violent tactics used by peasant organizers to mobilize the peasants aggravated a growing rift between factions within the Kuomintang. This rift led to the collapse of the United Front of the KMT and CCP and destroyed the peasant movement. Beginning in June 1926 counter-revolutionary forces attacked the unions. Peasant forces that survived these first onslaughts were crushed by regular Kuomintang troops in 1927 and 1928. This thesis is an examination of the peasant movement in Kwangtung from 1922 to 1928, and it seeks to explain why the movement ended in failure. To answer this question various characteristics of seven regions within the province are discussed, providing the material for an analysis (that appears in Chapter III) of why some regions organized peasant unions more successfully than others. The second chapter traces where and when unions developed and how strong they became. The third and concluding chapter of the thesis compares and contrasts the material presented in the preceding chapters, and it concludes that not only the breakdown of the United Front doomed the Kwangtung peasant movement to failure, but that the strength of the local, traditional society determined how successful the unions would be.
Uprooting Melbourne : a story of a city as revealed by trees
Creators: name: Wilson, A
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: Uprooting Melbourne' is a story of a city as revealed by trees. Trees have been important actors in the city-making process, yet their important role is often overlooked. This thesis takes a post-humanist approach in order to purposefully challenge the traditional placement of the environment in social histories, in which non-human entities simply become the backdrop upon which people play out their lives. Instead, this urban history of Melbourne has been formed through placing trees in the spotlight, and taking their rich social lives seriously. Many modern stories of cities are defined by a dualistic world view in which a narrative of technological progress is pitted against a narrative of the death of nature. This way of writing histories or describing the world obscures the realities of life in the actual places we have created through the union of society and nature. Using trees to tell the story of a city intrinsically challenges this dualism. Trees provide a site through which I describe how a city comprises an ongoing negotiation between people and place, between nature and culture. Their stories offer a material example of the ways that human history and natural history are intrinsically entwined, and demonstrate that it is in the relationships between these two concepts that modern urban life can be more fully described. Using trees as the key figures, this thesis re-tells the story of the growth of Melbourne from its origins in 1835 to now. This story of urban growth is one of ebbs and flows. As ontologies of nature/culture shift, so to do conceptions of the human body and the materials comprising the urban form. Trees reveal untold relationships between these elements of city-making, which are important not only for those managing urban trees today, but also for everyone interested in living well in an increasingly urban world.

Extending space-time with property
Creators: name: Stack, PD
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Space-time does an excellent job of describing a \when\" and \"where\" of an event; however it fails to describe \"what\" was involved. Normally this is achieved by including quantum fields with their own labels and associated properties. Conservation of these properties is then achieved according to what experiment dictates. We propose to add additional coordinates to space-time that describe the \"what\" which is missing. We choose these coordinates to be complex anti-commuting Lorentz scalars and attach various quantum numbers to them as indicated by experimental observation. With 5 such coordinates we can accommodate all known particles in the Standard Model and can reduce the number of fundamental parameters involved. We also develop formalism to deal with the inclusion of these coordinates into general relativity and look at the cases of 1 and 2 property coordinates. This results in the Einstein-Maxwell equations for 1 coordinate and the Einstein-Yang Mills equations for 2 coordinates. The Mathematica code used in this thesis which was essential for the algebraic simplification required is available from the UTAS digital repository. The documentation for the code is given in Appendix B."
Construction of a Large Class of Deterministic Sensing Matrices that Satisfy a Statistical Isometry Property

description: Compressed Sensing aims to capture attributes of $k$-sparse signals using very few measurements. In the standard Compressed Sensing paradigm, the $\m\times \n$ measurement matrix $\A$ is required to act as a near isometry on the set of all $k$-sparse signals (Restricted Isometry Property or RIP). Although it is known that certain probabilistic processes generate $\m \times \n$ matrices that satisfy RIP with high probability, there is no practical algorithm for verifying whether a given sensing matrix $\A$ has this property, crucial for the feasibility of the standard recovery algorithms. In contrast this paper provides simple criteria that guarantee that a deterministic sensing matrix satisfying these criteria acts as a near isometry on an overwhelming majority of $k$-sparse signals; in particular, most such signals have a unique representation in the measurement domain. Probability still plays a critical role, but it enters the signal model rather than the construction of the sensing matrix. We require the columns of the sensing matrix to form a group under pointwise multiplication. The construction allows recovery methods for which the expected performance is sub-linear in $\n$, and only quadratic in $\m$; the focus on expected performance is more typical of mainstream signal processing than the worst-case analysis that prevails in standard Compressed Sensing. Our framework encompasses many families of deterministic sensing matrices, including those formed from discrete chirps, Delsarte-Goethals codes, and extended BCH codes.

title: AMB Property Corporation: Financial Reporting in the REIT Industry
Creators: name: McNichols, Maureen

Year: 2007

description: AMB Property Corporation set out to be a leader in corporate governance and financial reporting. The company, a publicly traded real estate investment trust (REIT) that acquires, develops, and owns industrial properties, believed that its governance and reporting practices were among the best in the industry. The implementation of good disclosure practices in the REIT industry was not a simple undertaking. Historically, the real estate industry was dominated by private partnerships and institutional investors who used tax and partnership accounting rather than generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). As a result, there was a need for new financial terms that were meant to bridge the differences between GAAP and private partnership accounting, notably funds from operations. However, because such industry-specific metrics were not consistently calculated, it was difficult for users of REIT financial statements to compare operating results across companies. Public REITs that used non-GAAP metrics were required to reconcile these metrics to GAAP standards, a process which added significantly to the length of REIT financial reports. In addition, companies were required to apply GAAP accounting standards that were mostly designed for industries other than real estate and had the unintended consequence of making it difficult to evaluate the operating performance of REITs and compare those results across periods. This case explores the issue of financial reporting in the REIT industry, including important FASB standards that potentially distort REIT financial results, the use of Funds From Operations as a metric of financial performance, and different approaches for valuing REITs.
Extraordinary increase of lifetime of localized cold clouds by the viscous effect in thermally-unstable two-phase interstellar media

description: We numerically examine the influence of the viscosity on the relaxation process of localized clouds in thermally unstable two-phase media, which are locally heated by cosmic ray and cooled by radiation. Pulselike stationary solutions of the media are numerically obtained by a shooting method. In one-dimensional direct numerical simulations, localized clouds are formed during the two-phase separation and sustained extraordinarily. Such long-lived clouds have been recently observed in interstellar media. We demonstrate that the balance of the viscosity with a pressure gradient remarkably suppresses the evaporation of the clouds and controls the relaxation process. This balance fixes the peak pressure of localized structures and then the structure is attracted and trapped to one of the pulselike stationary solutions. While the viscosity has been neglected in most of previous studies, our study suggests that the precise treatment of the viscosity is necessary to discuss the evaporation of the clouds.

description: We use a many-body rate-equation approach to calculate the thermopower of a quantum dot in the presence of an exchange interaction. At temperatures much smaller than the single-particle level spacing, the known quantum jumps (discontinuities) in the thermopower are split by the exchange interaction. The origin and nature of the splitting are elucidated with a simple physical argument based on the nature of the intermediate excited state in the sequential tunneling approach. We show that this splitting is sensitive to the number parity of electrons in the dot and the dot's ground-state spin. These effects are suppressed when cotunneling dominates the electrical and thermal conductances. We calculate the thermopower in the presence of elastic cotunneling, and show that some signatures of exchange correlations should still be observed with current experimental methods. In particular, we propose a method to determine the strength of the exchange interaction from measurements of the thermopower.

description: As the chief financial officer of The Walt Disney Company, Tom Staggs was responsible not only for the financial management of the company, but also for the communication of the company’s financial and strategic objectives to its investor base. Because of Disney’s stature as the world’s most iconic entertainment brand, the company had a particularly broad investor base, over 991,000 common shareholders in fiscal year 2006 compared with 51,400 for Time Warner. Staggs had to develop and implement a communication strategy that was appropriate for the diversity of this investor base, which included individual, institutional, brokerage house, and mutual fund investors. In doing so, he had to be mindful of the fact that these constituencies often had different time horizons and investment perspectives. In addition, Staggs had to bear in mind several other factors. First, he had to consider that any message delivered was perceived by investors as a direct reflection of management’s capability and credibility. Second, he had to consider how the company’s stated objectives influenced the behavior of its employees. Third, he had to decide how to implement the communication strategy across a wide array of channels, keeping in mind the purpose of the forum, regulatory requirements, and investor expectations.

description: The strength of the total magnetic field in our Milky Way from radio Zeeman and synchrotron measurements is about 6 muG near the Sun and several mG in dense clouds, pulsar wind nebulae, and filaments near the Galactic Center. Diffuse polarized radio emission and Faraday rotation of the polarized emission from pulsars and background sources show many small-scale magnetic features, but the overall field structure in our Galaxy is still under debate. -- Radio synchrotron observations of nearby galaxies reveal dynamically important magnetic fields of 10-30 muG total strength in the spiral arms. Fields with random orientations are concentrated in spiral arms, while ordered fields (observed in radio polarization) are strongest in interarm regions and follow the orientation of the adjacent gas spiral arms. Faraday rotation of the diffuse polarized radio emission from the disks of spiral galaxies sometimes reveals large-scale patterns which are signatures of coherent fields generated by dynamos, but in most galaxies the field structure is more complicated. -- Strong magnetic fields are also observed in radio halos around edge-on galaxies, out to large distances from the plane. The synchrotron scaleheight of radio halos allows to measure the mean outflow velocity of the cosmic-ray electrons. The ordered halo fields mostly form an X-shaped pattern, but no large-scale pattern is seen in the Faraday rotation data. Diffuse polarized radio emission in the outer disks and halos is an excellent tracer of galaxy interactions and ram pressure by the intergalactic medium. -- Intracluster gas can also be significantly magnetized and highly polarized due to shocks or cluster mergers.

Artists and the articulation of islandness, sense of place, and story in Newfoundland and Tasmania
Creators: name: Brinklow, LM
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation explores and argues for a psychology of 'islandness' that sometimes imponderable feeling that comes from visiting or living on an island. It is a pre-rational, primordial, deep-in-the-marrow embodiment that incites rootedness and a seeming unparalleled yearning for home, though visitors may also be attuned to this or a similar experience. Case studies are presented of the islands of Newfoundland, situated off Canada's east coast in the North Atlantic Ocean and Tasmania, located off Australia's southern coast in the Great Southern Ocean. Though on opposite sides of the globe, these islands were chosen because they share many characteristics: roughly similar size and distance from the mainland, population, settlement origins, constitutional arrangements, and the fact that historically they have been the butt of mainland jokes. Yet both are conducive to artistic activity that seems disproportionately out of scale with the size of their populations. On these islands, artists-literary, visual, musical, performance, cinematic-increasingly focus on their localized identities and cultures, creating an attitude of cultural confidence that comes from maintaining cultural distinctiveness, particularly where a shared and bounded identity is crucial to creating community. This study, then, argues that attachment to place, island identities, and the prevalence and place-specific quality of stories influences how islanders see themselves. The study draws on a range of theories and concepts that underpin the broader field of 'Island Studies' while remaining firmly rooted in phenomenology. At their most basic, the dissertation's ten chapters explore boundedness and connectedness: geographically, psychologically and socially, through the lens of place and attachment to place, and Island Studies. Analysing artistic expression of Newfoundland and Tasmanian culture and the words of their creators, the dissertation explores the inspirations and stories behind the art, the extent to which attachment to place, island identity, and the prevalence of story (the 'glue' that binds people to their place) play a role in islanders' perceptions of self, individually and collectively. In the face of globalization and cultural homogenization, it is possible to learn from Tasmanian and Newfoundland artists about living with particularity and maintaining distinctive cultures; about resilience and innovation; about living mindfully; about attachment to place and home; and about the role of story in creating and sustaining island identity. The dissertation attempts to express the essence of islandness: to put words to the 'imponderables' and, in so doing, discover what islands can teach the rest of the world about how cultures change and adapt.

description: We propose a procedure to determine the effective nuclear shell-model Hamiltonian in a truncated space from a self-consistent mean-field model, e.g., the Skyrme model. The parameters of pairing plus quadrupole-quadrupole interaction with monopole force are obtained so that the potential energy surface of the Skyrme Hartree-Fock + BCS calculation is reproduced. We test our method for $N=Z$ nuclei in the $fpg$- and $sd$-shell regions. It is shown that the calculated energy spectra with these parameters are in a good agreement with experimental data, in which the importance of the monopole interaction is discussed. This method may represent a practical way of defining the Hamiltonian for general shell-model calculations.

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: This paper discusses stochastic models for predicting the long-time behavior of the trajectories of orbits of the 3x+1 problem and, for comparison, the 5x+1 problem. The stochastic models are rigorously analyzable, and yield heuristic predictions (conjectures) for the behavior of 3x+1 orbits and 5x+1 orbits.

Critical velocity of a clean one-dimensional superconductor

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We revisit the problem of the critical velocity of a clean one-dimensional superconductor. {\changed At the level of mean-field theory}, we find that the zero-temperature value of the critical velocity--the uniform velocity of the superfluid condensate at which the superconducting state becomes unstable--is a factor of $\sqrt{2}$ smaller than the Landau critical velocity. This is in contrast to a prior finding, which held that the critical velocity is equal to the Landau critical velocity. The smaller value of the critical velocity, which our analysis yields, is the result of a pre-emptive Clogston-Chandrasekhar--like discontinuous phase transition, and is an analog of the threshold value of the uniform exchange-field of a superconductor, previously investigated by Sarma and by Maki and Tsuneto. We also consider the impact of nonzero temperature, study critical currents, and examine metastability and its limits in the temperature versus flow-velocity phase diagram. In addition, we comment on the effects of electron scattering by impurities.

description: We use quantum oscillation measurements to distinguish between spin and orbital components of the lowest energy quasiparticle excitations in YBa2Cu3O6.54, each of which couple differently to a magnetic field. Our measurements reveal the phase of the observed quantum oscillations to remain uninverted over a wide angular range, indicating that the twofold spin degeneracy of the Landau levels is virtually unaltered by the magnetic field. The inferred suppression of the spin degrees of freedom indicates a spin density-wave is responsible for creation of the small Fermi surface pockets in underdoped YBa2Cu3O6+x - further suggesting that excitations of this phase are important contributors to the unconventional superconducting pairing mechanism.

description: We study black-hole binaries in the intermediate-mass-ratio regime 0.01 < q < 0.1 with a new technique that makes use of nonlinear numerical trajectories and efficient perturbative evolutions to compute waveforms at large radii for the leading and nonleading modes. As a proof-of-concept, we compute waveforms for q=1/10. We discuss applications of these techniques for LIGO/VIRGO data analysis and the possibility that our technique can be extended to produce accurate waveform templates from a modest number of fully-nonlinear numerical simulations.
