description: Mechanically exfoliated graphene layers deposited on SiO2 substrate were irradiated with Ar+ ions in order to experimentally study the effect of atomic scale defects and disorder on the low-energy electronic structure of graphene. The irradiated samples were investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy measurements, which reveal that defect sites, besides acting as scattering centers for electrons through local modification of the on-site potential, also induce disorder in the hopping amplitudes. The most important consequence of the induced disorder is the substantial reduction in the Fermi velocity, revealed by bias-dependent imaging of electron-density oscillations observed near defect sites.

description: Topological phases realized in time-reversal invariant (TRI) systems are foundational to experimental study of the broader canon of topological condensed matter as they do not require exotic magnetic orders for realization. We therefore introduce topological skyrmion phases of matter realized in TRI systems as a foundational step towards experimental realization of topological skyrmion phases. A novel bulk-boundary correspondence hidden from the ten-fold way classification scheme is revealed by the presence of a non-trivial value of a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ spin skyrmion invariant. This quantized topological invariant gives a finer description of the topology in 2D TRI systems as it indicates the presence or absence of robust helical edge states for open boundary conditions, in cases where the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ invariant computed with projectors onto occupied states takes a trivial value. Physically, we show this hidden bulk-boundary correspondence derives from additional spin-momentum-locking of the helical edge states associated with the topological skyrmion phase. ARPES techniques and transport measurements can detect these signatures of topological spin-momentum-locking and helical gapless modes. Our work therefore lays the foundation for experimental study of these phases of matter.

description: Despite extensive promotion of maize and sorghum cultivars adapted to multiple stresses through public, private and research institutionsâ€™ extension initiatives in Western Kenya, the adoption of such technologies by small scale farmers is low and production of the two crops is not only declining, but also continues to fall behind potential. Production of maize and sorghum are not only below 0.5 t/ha against a potential of 3-4 t/ha, but also declining. The objective of the study was to not only characterize awareness and adoption of maize and sorghum cultivars adapted to moisture stress, striga, low fertility acid soils and aluminum toxicity, but also isolate factors influencing their adoption. Data was collected from five sites in Nyanza and Western provinces using systematic sampling to generate a sample of 100 farmers. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and a probit model. Results show that gender, age, farm size, income, and access to extension influence adoption of maize and sorghum technologies. It is recommended that policies should consider household structure, empower them economically and improve access to extension services to enhance adoption of maize and sorghum technologies.

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

description: The lightest Higgs scalar boson mass in supersymmetry can be raised significantly by extra vector-like quark and lepton supermultiplets with large Yukawa couplings but dominantly electroweak-singlet masses. I consider models of this type that maintain perturbative gauge coupling unification. The impact of the new particles on precision electroweak observables is found to be moderate, with the fit to Z-pole data as good or better than that of the Standard Model even if the new Yukawa couplings are as large as their fixed-point values and the extra vector-like quark masses are as light as 400 GeV. I study the size of corrections to the lightest Higgs boson mass, taking into account the fixed-point behavior of the scalar trilinear couplings. I also discuss the decay branchings ratios of the lightest new quarks and leptons and general features of the resulting collider signatures.

description: Why is there a strong and growing demand for farmland investment from the non-agricultural sector? Over the study period 1972-2011, North American farmland investment yields have been very competitive with stocks, bonds and real estate. In this study, three methods are used to assess the investment performance of farmland within a diversified portfolio: the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), the Expected Value-Variance Model (E-V Analysis), and the Value at Risk (VAR) Model. The CAPM analysis suggests that farmland provides an investment yield that is greater than required, given that it adds little or no risk to a diversified portfolio. This also implies that farmland, given its competitive yield, can enhance investment performance in a diversified portfolio. Since CAPM is an equilibrium pricing model, it further suggests that farmland is underpriced and in a liquid, free trading market place, farmland prices would be bid up until the excess return disappears. The E-V analysis found that a North American farmland investment can improve the investment performance of the efficient set of portfolios at low and medium risk levels, but does not provide improvement for higher risk portfolios. Finally, the VAR analysis found that when North American farmland is added to a diversified portfolio, it reduces the maximum expected loss that can occur, thereby reducing the downside risk of the portfolio without reducing the expected yield. In general, all three methods, CAPM, E-V analysis and VAR found consistent results; that North American farmland has a competitive yield and is very good at reducing risk in a diversified portfolio, thereby improving overall investment performance.

description: We show how to represent a class of expressions involving discrete sums over partitions as matrix models. We apply this technique to the partition functions of 2* theories, i.e. Seiberg-Witten theories with the massive hypermultiplet in the adjoint representation. We consider theories in four, five and six dimensions, and obtain new matrix models respectively of rational, trigonometric and elliptic type. The matrix models for five- and six-dimensional U(1) theories are derived from the topological vertex construction related to curves of genus one and two.

description: Currently there is practically no active output price hedging in the Danish livestock sector. This may be because their, until recently, was very little need for hedging, as Danish farmer had (a perception of) very large credit reserves up to the GFC. After the GFC the need for price risk management has increased, as an institutional vacuum has emerged, where no new risk coping mechanisms are in place after the credit reserves disappeared. Price hedging via futures may problematic when physical delivery is to a cooperative, as the cooperative specific business risk which is carried by the members, will translate into basis risk in a futures hedging arrangement. This paper explores the possibility of risk reallocation among cooperative members as an alternative risk management institution. Based on deduction and extension of a model by Collins (1997) it is found that given adequate member heterogeneity in the cost of carrying risk and given low enough transaction costs there are, potentially substantial, gains from reallocation of risk among cooperative members.

Summary of the poster: 

Two projects aim to extend DAP capabilities: one develops a handler for the Hyrax Data Server to access HDF5 files, while the other enhances the netCDF library to read data from DAP servers. Common ground between the projects is found in the Common Data Model, facilitating support for both netCDF and HDF5 files. DAP 4 introduces changes to existing types and adds new data types, aiming for high-fidelity read access and avoiding optional features to enhance interoperability and simplicity.

description: This study used data from the Swiss Farm Structure Survey (FSS) and the non-randomly sampled Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) data to analyse the forces driving farm exits between 2001 and 2011. These data were used in binary logistic regression models to estimate exit probabilities, controlling for structural and economic factors. Using both FSS and FADN data, the logit results show that the probability of farm exit is directly related to farm size, operator age, number of manpower units per hectare, and farming system. The probability of farm exit decreases for younger but increases for older operators. Organic farming, family size and farming full-time are also found to have a significant negative influence on exit. By contrast, work intensity and sex of the farm operator positively influence farm exits. The logit model based on the FADN dataset revealed that economic variables are less useful than structural/social characteristics for explaining the variance of the exit probability. At first glance, this finding is surprising, since it reveals that the economic situation is not of primary importance in the decision to exit or remain in the sector.

description: I formulate a general finite element method (FEM) for self-gravitating stellar systems. I split the configuration space to finite elements, and express the potential and density functions over each element in terms of their nodal values and suitable interpolating functions. General expressions are then introduced for the Hamiltonian and phase space distribution functions of the stars that visit a given element. Using the weighted residual form of Poisson's equation, I derive the Galerkin projection of the perturbed collisionless Boltzmann equation, and assemble the global evolutionary equations of nodal distribution functions. The FEM is highly adaptable to all kinds of potential and density profiles, and it can deal with density clumps and initially non-axisymmetric systems. I use ring elements of non-uniform widths, choose linear and quadratic interpolation functions in the radial direction, and apply the FEM to the stability analysis of the cutout Mestel disc. I also integrate the forced evolutionary equations and investigate the disturbances of a stable stellar disc due to the gravitational field of a distant satellite galaxy. The performance of the FEM and its prospects are discussed.

Institutional transfer in Western Samoa : a case study in mutual adjustment
Creators: name: Snell, RD
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: In this thesis I have considered two alternative methods of studying the processes of institutional transfer. The acceptance and adoption of institutions (many based on Western examples) is a central feature of modern politics in the South Pacific. This study has demonstrated that a variant of a theory proposed by Kerry Howe, which I have labelled \mutual adjustment\" provides an explanatory framework that assists understanding about institutional transfer processes. Western Samoa was chosen as a case study to examine several examples of institutional transfer. I have concluded that in the case of Western Samoa mutual adjustment offers strong research benefits because it accords due significance to the vitality durability and adaptability of fa'a Samoa. Other interpretations like modernisation theory undervalue the strategic importance of Islander culture in the processes of institutional transfer. An analysis based on theories like modernisation would have predicated the eventual replacement of fa'a Samoa elements and institutions with new modern individual orientated practices and institutions. Previously political analysis of institutional transfer has been almost exclusively framed in terms of adjudicating how closely the imported version matches the original model. The end result of this adjudication is to derive a political analysis of South Pacific microstates that concentrates presentation of information in terms of losses or gains for the traditional or Western elements of the system. This analytical focus is directed at only one part of a very complicated and dynamic process. The misdirection is compounded because the static is emphasised at the cost of the dynamic. The four case studies of institutional transfer chosen for this study were the adoption of a liberal democratic parliamentary system political parties a statutory legal system and trade unionism. Each of these four key examples of institutional transfer demonstrated different aspects of mutual adjustment. In each case an accommodation was reached between the demands of the imported or adopted institution and the cultural imperatives of fa'a Samoa. I concluded that a key feature of Western Samoa politics is a dynamic process of adjustment between the imperatives of fa'a Samoa and the requirement ( driven by local forces or external demands) to adopt institutional arrangements which are based on Western examples. Mutual adjustment offers an analytical framework which accords due significance to the role vitality and strategic importance of islander culture in this dynamic process."

Subjects: subject: Agricultural and Food Policy

subject: income valuation framework

description: The income valuation framework presents high-powered, complex and math-intensive process. Therefore, any pretesting of valuation objects can be beneficial and time saving for the individual professional appraisers. Since the income valuation approach is based on the estimation of the income value of the company on an ongoing-concern basis, if this basic assumption is not met by the valuation object, the other approaches need to be employed. This paper closely examines theoretical and practical aspects for the initial stage for the application of the income valuation methods on the agricultural companies within the member countries of the Visegrad Group. Firstly, the applicability of the income valuation methods is verified via the indicator of value spread, as a difference between the return on equity and costs of equity and secondly, the conclusions are drawn properly. This paper finds that only a part of the sample is suitable for income valuation, for the majority of companies the income valuation methods are rather non-applicable, due the fact that some of the basic requirements are not met. Based on empirical tests, it was shown that there is a slightly positive dependence between the value spread indicator and the country of origin of the agricultural company.

description: We present a new on-shell method for the matching of ultraviolet models featuring massive states onto their massless effective field theory. We employ a dispersion relation in the space of complex momentum dilations to capture, in a single variable, the relevant analytic structure of scattering amplitudes at any multiplicity. Multi-variate complex analysis and crossing considerations are therefore avoided. Remarkably, no knowledge about the infrared effective field theory is required in dimensional regularisation. All matching information is extracted from the residues and discontinuities of the ultraviolet scattering amplitudes, which unitarity expresses in terms of lower-point and lower-loop results, respectively. This decomposition into simpler building blocks could deliver new insights in the structure of the effective field theories obtained from classes of ultraviolet scenarios and facilitate computations at higher loop orders.

Distance education : a senior secondary biology course
Creators: name: Snigg, Barry
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Science has been recognised as a discipline by a number of educational philosophers (Phenix,1964; Hirst & Peters, 1970; Hirst, 1974; White, 1963; Schwab,1967; Skilbeck, 1976) and one of the recognised compulsory common core elements in secondary education (Hargreaves,1984; Boyer,1983; Sizer,1984; Beazley,1984). An understanding of biological aspects of one's own nature and functioning can lead to wiser decision making on issues such as nutrition, health, and relationships, with other people both within and outside the family group. (Morgan, 1976). Biological science, particularly since the introduction of the B.S.C.S. approach in Australia in the form of the Biological Science : The Web of Life program~ has become a most popular subject in senior high school. The respected educational philospher J.J. Schwab (Phillips, 1965) is both a mentor of the B.S.C.S. project team and editor of the first edition of the Biology Teachers Handbook. Schwab (1966) argued that the concept of enquiry had a timeless quality independent of a social or historical context and this \enquiry into enquiry\" has directed the curriculum program of the B.S.C.S. This in turn was similarly evidenced in the Australian adaptation produced under the auspices of the Acadamy of Science in 1968. Teachers of biological enquiry in the 1980's are today faced with Schwab's three enquiry questions: 1. what is it? 2. how does it work? 3. how is it to be applied to dealing with the problems of human experience? While there remains criticism of the degree that the Web of Life is offering discussion of issues of immediate social concern (Fensham 1981; Fawns 1981; Martin 1981) the program has formed the basis for senior biology courses of years 11 and 12 in all states of Australia. The draft Objectives of Biological Science: The Web of Life have been to develop in students: (a) scientific understanding of the living world including man; (b) understanding of the nature scope and limitations of science; (c) competence and willingness to apply biological understanding to scientific and everyday problems and to approach these problems in scientific ways; (d) ability to communicate effectively and to work jointly with others towards solving problems of mutual concern. Each state education department has defined its own particular syllabus requirements for Higher School Certificate (or equivalent) public examninations. For Tasmania in 1986 these are presented in Appendix I. This particular thesis directs itself neither to criticism of the Web of Life nor to analysis of the Schools Board Syllabus for HSC Biology A in Tasmania but to the development of a Senior Secondary Biology external studies course which could be utilised directly per ¬¨vüg_ as a distance course in any Australian situation or could with minimal changes form the basis of a distance education course for the proposed Tasmanian Certificate of Education subject \"General Biology\"."

description: The linear potential binding a quark and an antiquark in mesons is generalized to baryons and multiquark configurations as the minimal length of flux tubes neutralizing the color, in units of the string tension. For tetraquark systems, i.e., two quarks and two antiquarks, this involves the two possible quark--antiquark pairings, and the Steiner tree linking the quarks to the antiquarks. A novel inequality for this potential demonstrates rigorously that within this model the tetraquark is stable in the limit of large quark-to-antiquark mass ratio.

description: The NA60 experiment has studied muon pair production in p-A and In-In collisions at the CERN SPS. We present new results on nuclear effects on J/psi production in p-A at 158 GeV, the same energy used for collecting A-A data at the SPS. We then compare nuclear effects with previous results from fixed target experiments, and with the results obtained from a p-A data sample taken by NA60 at 400 GeV. Based on the 158 GeV results, we calculate the expected J/psi suppression in In-In and Pb-Pb collisions due to cold nuclear matter effects, and we extract a new estimate for the anomalous suppression at SPS energies. Finally, we show preliminary results on J/psi polarization in p-A collisions.

A survey of Canadian schools of nursing to determine the instruction and clinical experience provided in mental retardation
Creators: name: Pearen, Elsie I. E.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This descriptive study was done to provide information on the number of hours and clinical experience students received during nursing education which might equip them with skills required for mental retardation nursing. Registered Nurses Associations for each province assisted in the study by providing lists of nursing schools in their province. Of the 142 nursing schools having a graduating class in 1969, 140 were studied. The urgency of the problem was shown when it was noted that an estimated 3 percent of the population of Canada were mentally retarded. Several commissions have been done on this topic in the past decade in Canada. Some studies of this general nature have been done in the United States. Review of the literature indicated that no previous studies had been done on this topic in Canada. A questionnaire was constructed to obtain data relating to placement of mental retardation experience, hours of theory and clinical experience provided and the year of nursing education in which the experience occurred. Questionnaires were mailed to the schools, completed by them, and returned. It was found that diploma schools tended to provide between 0 to 8 hours of theory and clinical experience in mental retardation whereas university schools tended to offer up to 12 hours of experience. Most nursing education in mental retardation occurred in pediatrics or psychiatric programs or in combinations of these and other courses. Mental retardation nursing education tended to occur in the next to the last year of the program for all schools. Many schools, however, indicated that mental retardation experience was not included in the school curriculum at all. It appeared that very little theory and clinical experience in mental retardation was being given students enrolled in nursing schools in Canada. The relative lack of planned clinical experience with retarded individuals was surprising. Several problems and limitations were encountered in conducting the study, particularly concerning data collection and the tool used for data collection. The data had to be collected in two phases from two different sources, home schools and affiliate schools, to obtain accurate data. Studies could be done to focus attention on current problems in nursing the mentally retarded, related to the need for inclusion of theory and clinical experience in the curriculum of nursing schools. Studies could also be done to determine time allotment, placement and specific mental retardation content in current nursing programs. Qualitative studies could be done to show the possible effect of staff knowledge of mental retardation on the care provided to mentally retarded patients. This study was an attempt to show the need for review of nursing education programs in relation to the inclusion of mental retardation theory and clinical experience in the curriculum of nursing schools.

description: The dairy sector had a great importance in the livestock economy of Argentina, both in food production and in the social aspect of the labour involved. It is essential to have a level of personal education and adequate training to make decisions that lead to meet the demands. The theoretical framework for studying concept of ties, your advantages and disadvantages had in the communication process in the Argentine dairy enterprise and that are important to the success of knowledge management. This case involves the study of personnel of dairy farms in Mar y Sierras Area (Buenos Aires, Argentina). In effect a total of 49 dairy farms were surveyed between 2007 and 2012, belonging to 40 owners. Social networks and the degree of strength of their ties determine the flow and quality of information and also impact the daily tasks of dairying, these links are formed and disseminated in unexpected ways. In this framework some questions arises: Is it possible to promote such ties? Are these ties generated naturally? From the analysis of the interviews and experience with relevant interlocutors, courses of action it emerges to improve the links between human resources management processes improve knowledge of Argentine dairy systems.

description: Τα τελευταία χρόνια, εντατικοποιείται η παραγωγή ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας από ανανεώσιμες πηγές ενέργειας.  Η πολιτική αυτή συντελεί στην αντιμετώπιση της κλιματικής κρίσης.  Τα συστήματα παραγωγής γίνονται υβριδικά και για να επιτυγχάνεται σωστά ο ημερήσιος ενεργειακός προγραμματισμός απαιτούνται ακριβείς προβλέψεις των φορτίων της κάθε μονάδας. Για το λόγο αυτό, με τη παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία γίνεται πρόβλεψη παραγωγής ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας και δίδεται έμφαση στα αιολικά πάρκα λόγω της απρόβλεπτης φύσης του ανέμου. Αρχικά, συλλέγονται τα δεδομένα  και στη συνέχεια αφού ελεγχθούν ποιοτικά, δημιουργούνται οι απαραίτητες χρονοσειρές. Ακολουθεί η στατιστική ανάλυση τους ώστε να διαπιστωθεί η φύση τους και να ανιχνευθούν τάσεις, μοτίβα και αυτοσυσχετίσεις μεταξύ αυτών. Αφού γίνουν οι απαραίτητες μετατροπές, ελέγχονται και εκπαιδεύονται όλα τα πιθανά μοντέλα AR, MA, ARMA, ARIMA και  SARIMA προκειμένου να επιλεχθεί το καταλληλότερο. Με βάση αυτό παράγονται προβλέψεις εκτός δείγματος εκπαίδευσης οι οποίες στη συνέχεια αξιολογούνται. Με το πέρας της διαδικασίας αυτής, αναπτύσσεται μια διαδικασία εκπαίδευσης μοντέλων μηχανικής μάθησης XGBoost με σκοπό τη παραγωγή ακόμα καλύτερων προβλέψεων από αυτές που προσέδωσαν τα στατιστικά μοντέλα.  Με αυτόν τον τρόπο παράγουμε τις απαιτούμενες προβλέψεις οι οποίες μπορούν να αξιοποιηθούν στον ημερήσιο ενεργειακό προγραμματισμό.
description: In recent years, the production of electricity from renewable energy sources has intensified.  This policy is helping to tackle the climate crisis.  Generation systems are becoming hybrid and accurate forecasts of the loads of each plant are required to achieve proper daily energy planning. For this reason, with this thesis, power generation forecasting is done and emphasis is given to wind farms due to the unpredictable nature of wind. Initially, data are collected and then after being quality checked, the necessary time series are generated. This is followed by statistical analysis to establish their nature and detect trends, patterns and autocorrelations between them. Once the necessary transformations have been made, all possible AR, MA, ARMA, ARIMA and SARIMA models are tested and trained in order to select the most appropriate one. Based on this, out-of-sample training predictions are produced and evaluated. At the end of this process, an XGBoost machine learning model training process is developed to produce even better predictions than those provided by the statistical models.  In this way we produce the required forecasts which can be used in daily energy planning.

Open Access publishing

description: In the transition towards Open Access (OA), institutional publishing is challenged by fragmentation and varying service quality, visibility, and sustainability. To address this issue, DIAMAS gathers 23 organisations from 12 European countries, well-versed in OA academic publishing and scholarly communication. The project will: 1. Map the current landscape of Institutional Publishing Service Providers (IPSPs) in 25 countries of the ERA with special attention for IPSPs that do not charge fees for publishing or reading. This will yield a taxonomy of IPSPs and an IPSP landscape report, a basis for the rest of the project. 2. Coordinate and improve the efficiency and quality of IPSPs by developing a European Quality Standard for Institutional Publishing (EQSIP). This quality seal will professionalise, strengthen and reduce the fragmentation of institutional publishing in Europe. EQSIP will serve as a benchmark for a gap analysis of the data.  

The DMP/RDMP outlines how data are to be handled (secured, stored, accessed, preserved) both during the project, and after the project is completed.

description: The evaluation of farm-investment programmes is a challenging task, since investments and the effects caused by investments are very heterogeneous. Investments do not only have purely economic effects such as income augmentation and workload reduction, but they also influence farmersâ€™ quality of life. In our study we analyse 23 typical agricultural investment projects in Austria and we investigate the impact of those investments projects on farmersâ€™ perceived quality of life. The findings show that the farmers pursue multiple objectives with their investments. The investment projects contribute positively to farmersâ€™ satisfaction with quality of life; this applies particularly for labour-intensive dairy farms and for life domains such as work, income and leisure time. We conclude that the application of QOL-indices significantly broadens our understanding of investment processes and we recommend integrating such an indicator into future investment project evaluation.

description: We present a study of bar and host disk evolution in a dense cluster environment, based on a sample of ~800 bright (MV <= -18) galaxies in the Abell 901/2 supercluster at z~0.165. We use HST ACS F606W imaging from the STAGES survey, and data from Spitzer, XMM-Newton, and COMBO-17. We identify and characterize bars through ellipse-fitting, and other morphological features through visual classification. (1) We explore three commonly used methods for selecting disk galaxies. We find 625, 485, and 353 disk galaxies, respectively, via visual classification, a single component S'ersic cut (n <= 2.5), and a blue-cloud cut. In cluster environments, the latter two methods miss 31% and 51%, respectively, of visually-identified disks. (2) For moderately inclined disks, the three methods of disk selection yield a similar global optical bar fraction (f_bar-opt) of 34% +10%/-3%, 31% +10%/-3%, and 30% +10%/-3%, respectively. (3) f_bar-opt rises in brighter galaxies and those which appear to have no significant bulge component. Within a given absolute magnitude bin, f_bar-opt is higher in visually-selected disk galaxies that have no bulge as opposed to those with bulges. For a given morphological class, f_bar-opt rises at higher luminosities. (4) For bright early-types, as well as faint late-type systems with no evident bulge, the optical bar fraction in the Abell 901/2 clusters is comparable within a factor of 1.1 to 1.4 to that of field galaxies at lower redshifts (5) Between the core and the virial radius of the cluster at intermediate environmental densities, the optical bar fraction does not appear to depend strongly on the local environment density and varies at most by a factor of ~1.3. We discuss the implications of our results for the evolution of bars and disks in dense environments.
