description: We examine phenomenon of electromagnetic transparency in semiconductor superlattices (having various miniband dispersion laws) in the presence of multi-frequency periodic and non-periodic electric fields. Effects of induced transparency and spontaneous generation of static fields are discussed. We paid a special attention on a self-induced electromagnetic transparency and its correlation to dynamic electron localization. Processes and mechanisms of the transparency formation, collapse, and stabilization in the presence of external fields are studied. In particular, we present the numerical results of the time evolution of the superlattice current in an external biharmonic field showing main channels of transparency collapse and its partial stabilization in the case of low electron density superlattices.

description: In this paper, we introduce cell-forms on $\mathcal{M}_{0,n}$, which are top-dimensional differential forms diverging along the boundary of exactly one cell (connected component) of the real moduli space $\mathcal{M}_{0,n}(\mathbb{R})$. We show that the cell-forms generate the top-dimensional cohomology group of $\mathcal{M}_{0,n}$, so that there is a natural duality between cells and cell-forms. In the heart of the paper, we determine an explicit basis for the subspace of differential forms which converge along a given cell $X$. The elements of this basis are called insertion forms, their integrals over $X$ are real numbers, called cell-zeta values, which generate a $\mathbb{Q}$-algebra called the cell-zeta algebra. By a result of F. Brown, the cell-zeta algebra is equal to the algebra of multizeta values. The cell-zeta values satisfy a family of simple quadratic relations coming from the geometry of moduli spaces, which leads to a natural definition of a formal version of the cell-zeta algebra, conjecturally isomorphic to the formal multizeta algebra defined by the much-studied double shuffle relations.

description: We describe a method for comparing the real analytic eigenbranches of two families of quadratic forms that degenerate as t tends to zero. One of the families is assumed to be amenable to `separation of variables' and the other one not. With certain additional assumptions, we show that if the families are asymptotic at first order as t tends to 0, then the generic spectral simplicity of the separable family implies that the eigenbranches of the second family are also generically one-dimensional. As an application, we prove that for the generic triangle (simplex) in Euclidean space (constant curvature space form) each eigenspace of the Laplacian is one-dimensional. We also show that for all but countably many t, the geodesic triangle in the hyperbolic plane with interior angles 0, t, and t, has simple spectrum.

The whore in earlier seventeenth-century drama
Creators: name: Marlowe, Karen Patricia Alex
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Such was the popularity of the whore as a dramatic figure in the earlier seventeenth century that one could be forgiven for accusing the playwrights of an obsession with the more prurient side of life. But, the significance of her role is in fact not confined to probing particular areas of sexual experience but extends beyond to encompass many areas of tension within man and society. Originally this thesis was intended simply to explore an expanding concept of the whore as a negative image of destruction, one which reflects a growing interest in the state as a secular entity. The discovery, however, of an apparently altered relationship between the whore and her society within certain plays, at least a variation in the patterning of guilts and sympathies, led to modification of this aim or rather to a further development in my argument. The Introduction establishes a working definition of whoredom which takes into consideration prevailing attitudes towards women and sexual activity, and briefly examines the whore's early dramatic function as essentially a personal threat to the soul. From this I move into a description of the whore's expanding and more secular-oriented destructiveness. Chapter I looks at the whore's activities as a threat to the institution of marriage, noting also some attempts to deal with the problem of judgment and reintegration. Chapters II and III deal with a further extension of the whore's social disruptiveness, presenting her as a saboteur not only of personal and marital stability but of state law and order, on both political and economic levels. But interestingly it is here, in certain of the Court and especially in the city satires, that the whore changes from being an isolated example of disorder, exterior to society and attacking its well-established order, to being merely a typical participant in a predatory and deceiving world, and her greed or lust becomes metaphorically identified with all man's greeds - for power, money, status, as well as sex. Satiric assertion this may be, but such is its dramatic strength that it does suggest a changing attitude towards man and society, at least as expressed in the plays, a growing scepticism or insecurity. And this is confirmed elsewhere in the drama. In Chapter IV, the plays described are concerned very much to question man's or society's ability to act and judge adequately, using the motif of whoredom to demonstrate both the natural fallibility of man and the limitations of the codes defining behaviour. In Chapter V, the loss of confidence and the relativity of judgment is such that the deviant role of whore may take on a tragic stature. Finally, the various earlier arguments are brought together in a concluding review.

A parametric integer programming algorithm for bilevel mixed integer programs

description: We consider discrete bilevel optimization problems where the follower solves an integer program with a fixed number of variables. Using recent results in parametric integer programming, we present polynomial time algorithms for pure and mixed integer bilevel problems. For the mixed integer case where the leader's variables are continuous, our algorithm also detects whether the infimum cost fails to be attained, a difficulty that has been identified but not directly addressed in the literature. In this case it yields a ``better than fully polynomial time'' approximation scheme with running time polynomial in the logarithm of the relative precision. For the pure integer case where the leader's variables are integer, and hence optimal solutions are guaranteed to exist, we present two algorithms which run in polynomial time when the total number of variables is fixed.

description: We use integral-field and long-slit spectroscopy to study the bright extended nebulosity discovered in the isolated lenticular galaxy NGC 4460 during a recent H-alpha survey of nearby galaxies. An analysis of archival SDSS, GALEX, and HST images indicates that current star formation is entirely concentrated in the central kiloparsec of the galaxy disc. The observed ionized gas parameters (morphology, kinematics and ionization state) can be explained by a gas outflow above the plane of the galaxy caused by a star formation in the circumnuclear region. Galactic wind parameters in NGC 4460: outflow velocity, total kinetic energy - are several times smaller comparing with the known galactic wind in NGC 253, which is explained substantially lower total star formation rate. We discuss the cause of the star formation processes in NGC 4460 and in two other known isolated S0 and E galaxies of the Local volume: NGC 404 and NGC 855. We provide evidence suggesting that feeding of isolated galaxies by intergalactic gas on a cosmological time scale is a steady process without significant variations.

An experimental system for recognizing typewritten characters
Creators: name: Fletcher, Thomas Ralph
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: An optical character recognition system was developed using the Lexiphone, a direct-translation reading machine for the blind, interfaced to a digital computer. The system was designed to read alphanumeric typewritten characters. In the development stages one serifed type-style was used exclusively. Three additional different, but serifed, type-styles were also used. Classification was performed by a method referred to as "component deletion". This method extends a nearest neighbours classification scheme enabling feature vectors differing in length by one two-bit segment to be compared by making their dimensionality the same. The method includes the classification of equal length vectors. The component deletion technique provided similar results to exact matching yet required significantly less training. Using carbon ribbon print, recognition was better than 92% for the four type-styles combined. The use of cloth ribbon for the type-style used in the development lowered recognition by a few percent.

description: We report on polarimetric observations of 100 pulsars centered on 774 MHz, made using the Green Bank Telescope, presenting their polarization profiles and polarized flux densities and comparing them with previous observations when possible. For 67 pulsars, these are the first such measurements made. Polarization profiles of 8 millisecond pulsars in our sample show wide profiles and flat position-angle curves. Strong linear polarization, sometimes approaching 100% of the total intensity, has been detected in all or a part of the average pulse profiles of some pulsars. In general, circular polarization is very weak, although it is observed to be extremely strong in the leading component of PSR J1920+2650. Sense reversal of circular polarization as a function of pulse phase has been detected from both core and other components of more than 20 pulsars. Any relationship between the spin-down luminosity and the percentage of linear polarization is not evident in our data at this frequency.

Foreign-language teaching in Tasmanian secondary schools and colleges : a sociological perspective
Creators: name: Jansen, E
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The research reported upon in this thesis aimed to identify . the major social forces which influence the development of foreign-language teaching style. A conceptual framework adapted from sociology of education theory was used for this purpose. The study population comprised 118 foreign-language teachers in Tasmanian secondary-level schools and colleges. A further total of 15 teachers participated in the pilot survey. The approach taken in the thesis is based on the assumption that the development of teaching style occurs within, and is significantly affected by, social situations in which 'correct' professional behaviour is clearly defined and where the individual teacher's professional views and behaviour are usually largely in conformity with a shared, professional Weltanschauung. To test the assumption that most Tasmanian foreign-language teachers were professionally socialized into particular modes of professional behaviour the study population (i.e. all participants in the empirical survey) was asked to compare present use of such techniques as grammatical explanation and vocabulary list memorization with the use of the techniques in the foreign-language classroom when the respondents were foreign-language pupils and students. In addition to an examination of the teachers' pedagogic training, information was gathered by questionnaires and interviews about a range of institutional pressures such as reference group advice and Schools Board requirements. The information gained about the professional pressures which the teachers experienced was closely examined in association with the details gathered about their foreign-language teaching style and professional ideology. Two main aims of this investigation were to establish: whether a professionally derived and defined view of knowledge existed among Tasmanian foreign-language teachers; and, whether this \shared ideology\" is methodologically innovative or conservative."

Adolescent knowledge of skin cancer and melanoma and reported solar protection behaviour
Creators: name: McColl, Margaret
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This study of adolescent knowledge of skin cancer and melanoma and reported solar protection behaviour was administered by means of a survey questionnaire. The sample population consisted of a group of 50 Year 9 High School students, 25 of whom were male and 25 female, and 50 Year 12 students, 25 male and 25 female, a total of 100 students. This randomly selected purposive sample was drawn from a Hobart Matriculation College and one of its feeder High Schools, in an attempt to ensure that the students came from the same socioeconomic background. The questionnaire, administered to both educational establishments on the same day, provided data which was entered into the Apple Macintosh Computer and analyzed using the statistical programme, Stat View. This study is unique in its attempt to organise a currunulative index of an individual's risk potential for developing skin cancer and melanoma ( based on medical research findings), then organising each adolescent into 'high', 'medium'. or low' risk categories and relating these to adolescent knowledge and solar protection behaviour. It was expected that those students in the highest risk category of potential of developing solar damage would take greater care to protect themselves from the sun, and would have greater knowledge of the subject. It was expected, that as well as having a greater knowledge level, the older Year 12 students would also have improved behavioural practices. It was surmised that with the reasonably regular media coverage of solar protection practices that overall the knowledge level of skin cancer and melanoma would be reasonable. There was no reason to believe that there would be a gender difference in knowledge level or behavioural practices. Findings showed that those in the highest risk category of potential for developing skin cancer and melanoma did not have greater knowledge or improved behavioural practices. Although the knowledge level of Year 12 students was greater than that of Year 9 students, it was not reflected in improved behavioural practices. There was a gender difference in knowledge of skin cancer - females having a greater knowledge as risk potential increased while males had less knowledge of skin cancer as their risk potential increased. Findings are discussed within the context of the development of health belief models, and discussed in the literature review.

Autorotation of thin plates
Creators: name: Andersen, Fabian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A visualization technique is applied to the unsteady separated flow about an autorotatlng flat plate. An unsteady potential model is attempted to predict the pressure loading on the plate as a function of angle of attack. To visualize the flow, a streakline is marked by low density air created by the wake of a heated wire probe. An off-center parabolic mirror Schlieren system detects the density gradient. Due to the highly unsteady nature (in this project, the plate rotates at almost 1,000 r.p.m. for a 10-foot per second freestream velocity) of the flow, high-speed 35mm, single lens reflex shots or 16mm. movie films recorded the image. Timing marks on the movie film provided information of the angular speed of the plate during acceleration to the autorotation speed and at autorotation. The two-dimensional unsteady attached flow model attempts to duplicate the effects of separation by superimposing vortices in the wake, as shown in the flow visualization, and by eliminating terms representing the freestream velocity in the range of 60 to 150 degrees angle of attack.

description: Romanies are one of history’s most misunderstood ethnic populations. Since medieval times, they have faced slavery, forced assimilation, sterilization, genocide, and other forms of ethnic cleansing. Their cultural and historical persecution has led to adverse health outcomes. Studies on health inequality among Romanies have been conducted in the past, as well as fragmented research on their genetic predisposition to disease; however, there is a gap in available information regarding precancerous health risks, especially at the upstream, social end of the spectrum. Thus, their oppression is largely unacknowledged. This holds true in the United States where their numbers are far smaller than the majority who live in Eastern Europe. Ignorance of their history and culture breeds stigma, erecting a barrier to positive health outcomes for Romani-Americans. The primary objective of this study is to analyze the biological, cultural, and socioeconomic factors leading to cancer and other chronic disease in Romani-Americans through a review of the existing literature. I point out the most prominent causes of chronic disease as a proxy to cancer in Romani-Americans; I also hope to draw attention to the lack of research in the field and inspire others to pursue such research.

description: After a short excursion from discovery of Brownian motion to the Richardson "law of four thirds" in turbulent diffusion, the article introduces the Lévy flight superdiffusion as a self-similar Lévy process. The condition of self-similarity converts the infinitely divisible characteristic function of the Lévy process into a stable characteristic function of the Lévy motion. The Lévy motion generalizes the Brownian motion on the base of the $α$-stable distributions theory and fractional order derivatives. The further development of the idea lies on the generalization of the Langevin equation with a non-Gaussian white noise source and the use of functional approach. This leads to the Kolmogorov's equation for arbitrary Markovian processes. As particular case we obtain the fractional Fokker-Planck equation for Lévy flights. Some results concerning stationary probability distributions of Lévy motion in symmetric smooth monostable potentials, and a general expression to calculate the nonlinear relaxation time in barrier crossing problems are derived. Finally we discuss results on the same characteristics and barrier crossing problems with Lévy flights, recently obtained with different approaches.

The systematics and zoogeography of the freshwater crayfish genus Engaeus Erichson (decapoda; parastacidae)
Creators: name: Horwitz, P
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The taxonomy of the freshwater crayfish genus Engaeus has been investigated using the techniques of allozyme electrophoresis, multivariate morphometrics and classical taxonomy. The use of these three techniques allows an investigation of both genetic and morphological variation in the genus. It is proposed to synonymize 4 of the previously described species and to erect 14 new species, taking the total number of species in the genus to 34. Based on morphological characters, a partial key to the genera of the Parastacidae and a key to the species in the genus Engaeus is given. The description of each species includes a diagnosis, a description of an adult male and an adult female, a discussion of the morphological variation and comments on aspects of the species' life history. The genealogical relationships of closely related species have been determined from the distance data presented in the electrophoresis section. These relationships are supported with an analysis of ancestral and derived morphological character states, to result in a dendrogram depicting the phylogenetic relationships of the species in Engaeus and its allied genera. This dendrogram is compared to previous phylogenies proposed for the parastacids. In general terms the distribution of Engaeus can be described as conforming to the 'Bassian biogeographical region' in south-eastern Australia. Here it has been found to exhibit a high degree of regional endemism; for instance of the 34 species only 2 species occur in both Victoria and Tasmania. In Victoria, 20 endemic species have been recorded. A trend of high diversity and high endemism of the crayfish fauna has been found in highland regions, whilst low levels of both diversity and endemism are recorded for lowland regions. This is attributed to an increase in the number of available habitats in topographically diverse areas of the State. The situation in Tasmania, where 12 species are endemic, is somewhat more difficult to interpret. It seems that the western portion of the island, with its more predictable climatic conditions, can be characterized by broad distributional ranges of a few species, whilst the heterogeneous north-east of the island exhibits many species with reduced, often restricted, geographical ranges. Four modes of speciation are proposed. The fluctuating sea-levels in the Bass Strait region which accompanied successive glacial and interglacial periods are suggested as the major mechanism in the establishment of geographical barriers between populations. An absence in the literature of similar studies (on diverse monophyletic groups in the same area) prevents the examination of zoogeographical concordance. Further research is proposed to test the ideas presented in this thesis.
Across Rich Nations, Disadvantaged Children Do Better When Work-Family Balance Is a Policy Priority

description: Across wealthy nations, health disparities between children in rich and poor families have been well-documented. Work-family conflict is linked to declines in parental health and well-being, which in turn can deteriorate well-being throughout the family. While policy mandates that support reconciling conflicts between the demands of work and those of family, such as paid time off, cannot eliminate all the financial difficulties of economic disadvantage, they can quite possibly mitigate the impact of that disadvantage. State subsidization of childcare, in contrast, may lower family economic strain in the short-term, but do not impact parental working conditions or hours. Using data with young adolescents from 20 rich nations, Matthew A. Andersson, from Baylor University, together with PRC trainee Michael A. Garcia and PRC faculty research associate Jennifer Glass find that disparities in children’s health between disadvantaged and advantaged families are lessened significantly through work-family reconciliation policies while cash transfer policies are not associated with reducing disparities in children’s health. Generous work-family reconciliation policies “level the playing field” among working parents and reduce the negative impact of economic disadvantage on children’s health.
Effects on regional development of the customer service and performance of ASEAN-Australian shipping services

description: The topic of this dissertation suggests and assesses the importance of the Asean-Australian shipping services in helping shape the regional economic development surrounding the ports that it serves along its routes. This study makes a special reference to the development of the new Kuantan Port in its defined role of acting as a catalyst in speeding up the economic development of the East Coast states of Peninsular Malaysia, i.e. Pahang, Trengganu and Kelantan. This research paper investigates in particular the potential of this Kuantan Port in linking with the other neighbouring Asean ports in serving the import and export trade between the Asean region and Australian including New Zealand. Due to geographical and logistic reasons, Australia does not have much choice but to work very closely with her Asean neighbours in developing their respective economies.
2D and 3D quantum rotors in a crystal field: critical points, metastability, and reentrance

description: An overview of results of models of coupled quantum rotors is presented. We focus on rotors with dipolar and quadrupolar potentials in two and three dimensions, potentials which correspond to approximate descriptions of real molecules adsorbed on surfaces and in the solid phase. Particular emphasis is placed on the anomalous reentrant phase transition which occurs in both two and three-dimensional systems. The anomalous behaviour of the entropy, which accompanies the reentrant phase transition, is also analyzed and is shown to be present regardless if a phase transition is present or not. Finally, the effects of the crystal field on the phase diagrams are also investigated. In two-dimensions the crystal field causes the disappearance of the phase transition, and ordering takes place via a continuous increase in the value of the order parameter. This is also true in three dimensions for the dipolar potential. For the quadrupolar potential in three dimensions turning on the crystal field leads to the appearance of critical points where the phase transition ceases, and ordering occurs via a continuous increase in the order parameter. As the crystal field is increased the range of the coupling constant over which metastable states are found decreases.

description: Existing transport protocols, be it TCP, SCTP or DCCP, do not provide an efficient congestion control mechanism for heterogeneous wired-cum-wireless networks. Solutions involving implicit loss discrimination schemes have been proposed but were never implemented. Appropriate mechanisms can dramatically improve bandwidth usage over the Internet, especially for multimedia transport based on partial reliability. In this paper we have implemented and evaluated a congestion control mechanism that implicitly discriminates congestion and wireless losses in the datagram congestion control protocol (DCCP) congestion control identification (CCID) framework. The new CCID was implemented as a NS-2 module. Comparisons were made with the TCP-like CCID and showed that the bandwidth utilization was improved by more than 30% and up to 50% in significant setups.
Studies on the sex chromosomes of animals.

description: Meiosis in male spiders is distinguished by the multiple. sex chromosome mechanism whereby usually two or three X chromosomes move jointly to one pole at the first division in the absence of any y chromosome. The mechanism of segregation is, thus, fundamentally different from that usual in XY and XnY systems where co-orientation and segregation occur as a consequence of pairing, usually by chiasma formation between the X and Y chromosomes. The existence of this multiple system has been recorded by a number of authors but little attempt was made to explain the behaviour of the sex chromosomes until Revell (1947) reported a condition of \continuous polarisation\" in Tegenaria. life ascribed the regular X-segregation to a persistence of polar attraction after oachytene which leads to the bivalents and sex chromosomes being distributed in two groups about the centrosomes when these have separated. Subsequently on the formation of the spindle the bivalents successively move into the equatorial plane as their centromeres co-orientate the Ps occupying a position nearer to the pole to which they will move together at anaphase. Although a similar condition of continuous polarisation has been illustrated in Trochosa ruricola (Hackman 1948) and is evidently present in other species (ibid.; Wallace 1909) it does not occur universally in the spermatogenesis of spiders. For example Atau (1948) found that polarisation lapses at pachytene in Iranea reaumuri in the usual manner. The normality of the meiotic cycle in Pranea suggests that continuous polarisation in not the primary cause of joint x-segregation but rather is a secondary adaptation in Some species."

description: From the standpoint of symbolic interactionism, human group life is a process in which objects are being created, affirmed, transformed, and cast aside. The life and action of people change in line with the changes taking place in their world of objects (Blumer, 2017). This issue is significant because when technology also includes a virtual workforce, the familiar objects in the internal environment; such as those related to job, work, and business processes, particularly standardized processes, are changed. For this paper, the focal point of the analysis will be the two schools of thought; the Chicago school and the Iowa school. The objective of the analytical paper** is to provide a brief overview of the findings from a variety of sources on symbolic interactionism; then, to identify the role, if any, of symbolic interactionism, in the hybrid (virtual offsite / traditional ‘brick and mortar’) workforce in the transnational model of organizations. The question is: Does symbolic interactionism have a role, if at all, in the hybrid (virtual offsite / traditional ‘brick and mortar’) workforce in the transnational organization?  **Analytical papers “include information from a range of sources; the focus is on analyzing the different viewpoints represented from a factual rather than an opinionated standpoint” (Personal Writer, 2008).  **In an analytical paper, the author poses a question, collects relevant data from other researchers, analyzes the data from their viewpoints, then concludes with a summation of findings and a suggested framework for further study (Paper Pile, 2020; Personal Writer, 2008). The author maintains a neutral position; the focus is “on the findings and conclusions of other researchers” (Paper Pile, 2020).

description: A novel type of correlation involving particle-antiparticle pairs was found out in the 1990's. Currently known as Squeezed or Back-to-Back Correlations (BBC), they should be present if the hadronic masses are modified in the hot and dense medium formed in high energy heavy ion collisions. Although well-established theoretically, such hadronic correlations have not yet been observed experimentally. In this phenomenological study we suggest a promising way to search for the BBC signal, by looking into the squeezed correlation function of phi phi and K^+ K^- pairs at RHIC energies, as function of the pair average momentum, K_{12}=(k_1+k_2)/2. The effects of in-medium mass-shift on the identical particle correlations (Hanbury-Brown & Twiss effect) are also discussed.

The Paczynski-Wiita potential: A step-by-step "derivation"

description: Paczynski realized that a properly chosen gravitational potential may accurately model (in a "pseudo Newtonian" theory) general relativistic effects that determine motion of matter near a non-rotating black hole. Paczynski's choice, known today as the "Paczynski-Wiita potential", proved to be very practical. It was used by numerous researchers in the black hole accretion theory, and became a standard tool in relativistic astrophysics. The model is an example of Paczynski's admired ability to invent "out of nowhere" simple ideas that were brilliant, deep and useful. Paczynski has guessed intuitively the form of the potential. However, it could be also derived by a a step-by-step formal procedure. I show the derivation here. My derivation is based on a standard definition of the relativistic "effective potential" in the Schwarzschild spacetime. The relativistic effective potential may be uniquely divided into its "gravitational" and "centrifugal" part. The gravitational part differs from the Paczynski-Wiita potential only by a constant.

description: The object of this study is to consider the system of - assigning convict labour as it was developed in Van Diemen's Land under Governor Arthur. It does not claim to investigate the influence of the system on the Van Diemen's Land economy, but rather it is concerned with the administration of the system and the interacting claims and interests of the three parties in response to whose needs, the assignment system was developed:- the colony, the British Government, and the convicts.

description: In this study, we theoretically investigate the interactions of hydrogen bonding in excited states and the mechanism of intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) for the novel compound 3-benzothiazol-2-yl-2-hydroxy-5-methyl-benzaldehyde-oxime (HBT-phos) theoretically. Herein, the effects of atomic electronegativity of chalcogen (O, S and Se) are also focused. Firstly, employing quantum theory of atoms-in-molecules (QTAIM) method, we confirm intrinsic quality of O-H···N within HBT-phos derivatives (HBT-phos-O, HBT-phos-S and HBT-phos-Se). By astutely examining changes in geometries and infrared (IR) spectra, we elegantly demonstrate O-H···N is remarkably strengthened in S1 state, indicating a pronounced tendency towards ESIPT. Computational hydrogen bonding energies further magnificently support this conclusion. Probing into photo-induced excitation, we discover heightened electronic densities surrounding N atom that play pivotal roles in attracting protons, thereby facilitating ESIPT. Ultimately, upon comparing potential energy curves in excited states, we deduce ESIPT process is expected to be exceptionally rapid with low atomic electronegativity (O → S → Se), which elucidates why detecting fluorescence peak of HBT-phos-S itself proves challenging in experiment. This study not only fills the void in understanding ESIPT mechanism within HBT-phos derivatives and authentically reveals its unambiguous mechanism, but also presents atomic-electronegativity-dependent ESIPT behaviour and the explanation for fluorescence quenching observed in prior experiment.
