Grease and ochre : the blending of two cultures at the Tasmanian colonial sea frontier
Creators: name: Cameron, P
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis interrogates the social, cultural and economic dynamics of European and Aboriginal relationships as they unfolded at the colonial sea frontier of Tasmania, spanning a period 1798 to 1830. It argues that the sealers were not a homogenous group of men by character, motivation, or description. Nor were they the primary cause for the demise of the Aboriginal clans along the northeast coast. It also identifies that there was not a homogenous group of clanswomen in role and status, nor were the clanswomen treated as slaves. The thesis finds that the movement of women to the Bass Strait islands was through reciprocal exchange agreements between clansmen and Straitsmen, and both were equally responsible for the repercussions of these decisions. It highlights that the great majority of clanswomen who went to the islands were willing participants in this culturally-based barter system, and they became the resource managers and initiators of the small-island mixed economy. The thesis rewrites the history of contact relations over the period of three decades and locates the point in time when two cultures collide, fracture, and blend. It remaps northeast territorial placescapes and realigns the connection between the neighbouring lands. It also redefines the timelines from initial social contacts to the fracturing of alliances between the Straitsmen and clanspeople of the northeast lands, thereby redressing former assumptions in the literature. The research is influenced by the plethora of recycled and sensationalised literary works that to date lack revision and nuance. The orthodox accounts are not fully accurate with a majority remaining silent to the voices of the people whose lives were embedded in this period. This thesis endeavours to fill the gaps in the literature that have distorted colonial sea frontier history, and endeavours to fill these silences. The thesis has been influenced and shaped by close reading of available sources. It reads between the lines, and in doing so discloses the silences that have persisted over time and across space. It reveals a dynamic, complex and interesting past as it investigates the social, political and economic interconnectedness of human relationships. Encapsulated within this new account are stories of great hardship, isolation, resilience, toughness, tenderness, brutality and survival. The men and women at the centre of this dissertation are portrayed as two elements: grease and ochre. Together they found a remote and ideal threshold-their liminal spacethat enabled the two cultures to blend and form a new, distinct, community that grew and flourished.

description: Excerpts from the report: Hops were introduced into North America by the Massachusetts Company in 1629 and were grown for domestic use in New Netherlands as early as 1646. The State of Washington is the largest hop producer, and since 1953 it has accounted for more than half of the total U.S. production. The largest single use of hops today is in the manufacture of beer. Approximately 98 percent of the world hop production goes into the manufacture of that food beverage. Hops are used also as filtering agents, as medicinals and pharmaceuticals, and as food.
A comparative study of the structure and function of the adhesive apparatus of the Cyclopteridae and Gobiesocidae
Creators: name: Arita, George Shiro
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The ventral adhesive discs of the cyclopterid Eumicrotremus orbis and the gobiesocid Gobiesox maeandricus were compared in regards to structure and efficiency. The disc of E. orbis was found to be the more efficient, being able to support, on the average, 843.6 grams per square centimeter of disc area as compared to 453.8 g/cm² for G. maeandricus. The firmer, more compact nature and the greater use of the muscles in the function of the cyclopterid disc accounted for this greater efficiency. The creation of a negative pressure during the adhering process in both species was empirically demonstrated for the first time. G. maeandricus was shown to create a greater suction than E. orbis while supporting an equivalent weight. The pectoral fins were found to be vital in the function of the disc of G. maeandricus. It was concluded that the efficiency of the discs is related to body form; thus E. orbis with a globular, unstreamlined body, has the more efficient disc, while in G. maeandricus, in which the body is flattened and streamlined, the disc is less efficient. A new mechanism, described as a sliding and bending property of the lepidotrichs of the fin-rays, is presented; the role of this mechanism in the function of the adhesive disc of G. maeandricus and in the locomotive function of fins in general is discussed.

description: We calculate intensity of radiative heat transfer and radiative conductance in a system of two spherical particles embedded in equilibrium vacuum background (photon gas). The temperatures of the particles and of the background radiation are arbitrary. The calculations are based on the dipole and additive approximations of the fluctuation electromagnetic theory. We obtained much higher radiative conductance between 25 mu silica particles (by 4 orders of magnitude) in comparison with recent results by A.Narayanaswamy and Gang Chen (Phys.Rev., 2008).

description: The dual quark condensate $Σ^{(n)}$ proposed recently as a new order parameter of the spontaneous breaking of the ${\mathbb Z}_3$ symmetry are evaluated by the Polyakov-loop extended Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model, where $n$ are winding numbers. The Polyakov-loop extended Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model well reproduces lattice QCD data on $Σ^{(1)}$ measured very lately. The dual quark condensate $Σ^{(n)}$ at higher temperatures is sensitive to the strength of the vector-type four-quark interaction in the Polyakov-loop extended Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model and hence a good quantity to determine the strength.

description: Wave energy converters should be actively controlled to ensure maximum energy extraction from waves. However, it is important that the control objective is correctly posed, so that the control effort is directed towards economically advantageous actions. The objective of this document is to set the context for the parametric structure of the performance function (PF) which will be used within WP5 of the LiftWEC project. Ideally, the performance structure will be based on a bulk economic performance indicator, such as Levelised Cost of Energy (LCoE) and that that performance indicator be expressible as a function of the control actions, so that the control actions can be optimised, maximising the economic performance of the LiftWEC. This ideal presents two difficulties: LCoE is very difficult to enumerate, especially with regard to operational costs, and it is virtually impossible to propagate the effect of control actions all the way through to LCoE. Therefore, this document will articulate the components which make up an idealised PF and examine the extent to which such components can be represented as functions of the control inputs. In addition, the extent to which disparate performance function components (e.g. cost, power production) can be combined into a single monolithic PF is examined, opening the possibility for multi-criteria optimisation techniques in the determination of the optimal control signals.

Theory in Talcott Parsons' sociological writings : an exposition and critique of theory in his metatheoretical writings and his substantive sociological theory in the light of the critieria of hypotheticodeductive theory.
Creators: name: Grenda, Edward Ronald
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Talcott Parsons, generally acclaimed to be one of the paramount sociological theorists at present, frequently asserts that he is seeking to develop an abstract scientific theory of social phenomena. There is, however, a corpus of notions, principles, and stratagems regarding scientific theory called the hypothetico-deductive approach. It is generally recognized as perhaps the most logically tenable and empirically revealing approach as regards the formulation of significant statements about the world. The problem, therefore, in this study centers on the question: How do Talcott Parsons' conception of the Mature and functions of scientific theory (his metatheory) and the basic structure of his substantive theory stand if they are compared with the various aspects of a hypothetico-deductive approach. To accomplish this, several lines of attack are initially pursued. Parsons' early intellectual influences and contacts are roughly traced out in an attempt to illumine the connections between Parsons and certain theorists who imparted a definite direction to Parsons' theoretical thinking. It is discovered that, the influences on Parsons were wide, diverse and, on the whole of a European speculative approach toward social theory. A discussion of the nature and functions of scientific theory and explanation in terms of a hypothetico-deductive approach is, then, carried out. Following this, an extensive elaboration and criticism of Parsons' conception of scientific theory, as revealed in a number of published essays and volumes, particularly The Structure of Social Action, is undertaken. It is found that many of Parsons' views, in this respect, are vague and logically untenable, with an extraordinary emphasis on concept development rather than the formulation of general statements (or laws) which form the heart of all scientific theory. An examination of the basic structure of Parsons' substantive theory reveals that it is structurally modelled in the light of what he conceives scientific theory to be and, consequently, is found to be decidedly lacking in a logical sense, thereby impairing its empirical applicability. It is concluded that Parsons' conception of scientific theory is inadequate and that his substantive theory is not theory if viewed from a hypothetico-deductive perspective. It is suggested, moreover, that Parsons has provided orientations in his substantive work rather than theory.

description: We propose a four wave mixing experiment to probe the elementary excitation spectrum of a non-equilibrium Bose-Einstein condensate of exciton-polaritons under non-resonant pumping. Analytical calculations based on mean-field theory show that this method is able to reveal the characteristic negative energy feature of the Bogoliubov dispersion. Numerical simulations including the finite spatial profile of the excitation laser spot and a weak disorder confirm the practical utility of the method for realistic condensates.

More than skin deep : masochism in Japanese women's writing 1960-2005
Creators: name: King, EL
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis investigates the use of masochistic imagery and masochistic scenarios in the narratives of K‚âàvßno Taeko, Yamada Eimi and Kanehara Hitomi, and also in the visual imagery of 'ladies' comic' artist, Watanabe Yayoi. The textual production of these women is examined against the background of the social, economic and cultural conditions at the time of publication. Without making claims to any kind of teleological development, I argue that there is a chronological genealogy that connects the work of the women listed above through the different eras in which they were writing. K‚âàvßno is a key writer from the late Post-war/pre-Bubble period of the 1960s to 1970s;1 Yamada invokes the heady 'Bubble jidai' years of the 1980s and early 1990s;2 while Kanehara is a product of the so called 'Lost Decade' of the 1990s and the early 2000s.3 While all three also produced a considerable body of narrative and essay material outside the times identified above, it was during these periods that each author produced what are arguably their representative works. The chapter on ladies' comics overlaps chronologically with the discussion on Yamada Eimi in that it loosely covers the period from the early 1980s, when the first manga of this genre was published, to the early 2000s. In addition to textual analysis chapters on the works of K‚âàvßno, Yamada, Kanehara and Watanabe and, occasionally, their contemporaries, the thesis examines theories of masochism as found in both Japan and the west. While avoiding a closed understanding of the term ‚Äö- which can alter according to the social context ‚Äö- I argue that masochism is not simply pleasure in pain, but pleasure in the expectation of pain. It is this expectation that is the key to the pleasure of the masochistic experience. I further demonstrate that, contrary to popular interpretation, in the relationship between the masochist and their chosen consort/partner/torturer, it is the masochist who very often holds the balance of power. While providing an overview of the contribution made to understandings of masochism by Richard von Krafft-Ebing, Sigmund Freud and Theodor Reik, I draw principally on Gilles Deleuze, in particular his essay Coldness and Cruelty,‚ÄövÑvp to demonstrate that masochism can be a personal choice made by women in order to resist the social expectations and restraints placed on them.

description: We investigate possible a-priori "imprinting" of general relativity itself on spaceraft-based tests of it. We deal with some performed or proposed time-delay ranging experiments in the Sun's gravitational field. The "imprint" of general relativity on the Astronomical Unit and the solar gravitational constant GM_\odot, not solved for in the so far performed spacecraft-based time-delay tests, may induce an a-priori bias of the order of 10^-6 in typical solar system ranging experiments aimed to measuring the space curvature PPN parameter γ. It is too small by one order of magnitude to be of concern for the performed Cassini experiment, but it would affect future planned or proposed tests aiming to reach a 10^-7-10^-9 accuracy in determining γ.

description: This document constitutes Deliverable ‘D6.2 Transportation and Maintenance LiftWEC ULS Assessment” of the LiftWEC project. LiftWEC is a collaborative research project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under Grant Agreement No 851885. It is the intention of the project consortium that the LiftWEC project culminates in the development of one or more promising configurations of a Wave Energy Converter operating through the use of one or more rotating hydrofoils that generate lift as the primary interaction with the incident waves. In this report different scenarios for transportation and maintenance of LiftWEC are presented. It is the intention of this report to identify loading scenarios that occur in non-operating conditions (transport and maintenance) and that could risk the structural integrity of LiftWEC. Up to this point, thirteen candidate LiftWEC configurations remain. As such, three configurations are here introduced: 1) supported with a monopile, 2) supported with a frame and 3) supported with a floater. The weight of the substructures of each configuration is computed considering a fixed water depth, hydrofoil span and radius. It is to note that determining transportation and maintenance loads accurately is a significant challenge, hence here, some selected scenarios are presented as illustrative examples. This analysis has the aim to highlight critical areas of the structure that need to be considered during transportation and maintenance. The analysis is performed with Aqwa Ansys, Solid Edge, analytical methods and the online solver SkyCiv. Results are analysed in terms of structural integrity of the device. It is worthy to note that a limit state is a condition beyond which a structure or a part of a structure exceeds a specified design requirement. For example, ULS can be defined as a condition where a loss of structural resistance occurs. Additionally, partial safety factors can be considered to account for abnormal operating conditions. As such, in this deliverable, we defined the threshold for the ULS as a fraction of the yield stress level. This threshold however can be refined to meet future design specifications. The deliverable sets out the path to identify what additional measures need to be considered when transporting and maintaining LiftWEC from a structural perspective.

description: There have been recent claims that a significant fraction of type 2 AGN accrete close or even above the Eddington limit. In type 2 AGN the bolometric luminosity (L_b) is generally inferred from the [OIII] emission line luminosity (L_OIII). The key issue, in order to estimate the bolometric luminosity in these AGN, is therefore to know the bolometric correction to be applied to L_OIII. A complication arises from the fact that the observed L_OIII is affected by extinction, likely due to dust within the narrow line region. The extinction-corrected [OIII] luminosity (L^c_OIII) is a better estimator of the nuclear luminosity than L_OIII. However, so far only the bolometric correction to be applied to the uncorrected L_OIII has been evaluated. This paper is devoted to estimate the bolometric correction C_OIII=L_b/L^c_OIII in order to derive the Eddington ratios for the type 2 AGN in a sample of SDSS objects. We have collected from the literature 61 sources with reliable estimate of both L^c_OIII and X-ray luminosities (L_X). To estimate C_OIII, we combined the observed correlation between L^c_OIII and L_X with the X-ray bolometric correction. We found, contrary to previous studies, a linear correlation between L^c_OIII and L_X. We estimated C_OIII using the luminosity-dependent X-ray bolometric correction of Marconi et al. (2004), and we found a mean value of C_OIII in the luminosity ranges log L_OIII=38-40, 40-42, and 42-44 of 87, 142 and 454 respectively. We used it to calculate the Eddington ratio distribution of type 2 SDSS AGN at 0.3

Second chromosome ts lethals in Drosophila melanogaster
Creators: name: Baillie, David Leonard
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The monofunctional ethylating agent EMS has been found to induce ts lethal mutations in Drosophila melanoqaster. Temperature sensitive lethals can be induced on both the X and the second chromosomes. The frequencies of ts lethal induction with respect to the estimated number of "single hit" lethal mutations are not significantly different (for the X chromosome 12.5% and for the second, 10.9%). The ts lethals from each chromosome have similar visibilities at high and low temperatures. As with the ts lethals on the X chromosome, Suzuki et al, 1967) those on the second behaved in a manner compatible with the suggestion that Drosophila ts lethals are similar to those found in micro-organisms. These mutants, particularly dominant ts lethals, may provide powerful tools for Drosophila genetic investigation.

description: This report summarises best practice guidelines and design considerations, for offshore operations. The information herein was by and large sourced from telephone interviews of a number of developers, with experience in areas such as offshore wind, wave, tidal and oil & gas. Initially, challenges encountered specific to the experiences of those surveyed are described in questions and answers format. Broader design tips applicable to a majority of devices are also included in the survey answers. Topics of interest more specific to the LiftWEC device are described in the later sections of the report. Discussing various possible methods of supplying a reaction force, beit from buoyancy restoring moments, the use of large submerged weight, a fixed seabed mounting or whether the reaction forces can be supplied by the moorings. The use of divers and/or ROVs for maintenance is discussed. The preference for the use of conventional vessels such as tugs is mentioned as well as a section on vessel cost and availability. As the device is likely to be heavily control dependent, a discussion on redundancy in design as well as fault tolerant design is given. The importance of a well designed dynamic cable is also mentioned. Various iterations of the CycWEC device are listed as well as the current proposed iteration. The justification for focusing on this device is the similarity in device operating principals, with the CycWEC being one of the better described devices in the current literature. Finally, the key learnings and recommendations are summarised in a discussion section.

description: To solve the Cahn-Hilliard equation numerically, a new time integration algorithm is proposed, which is based on a combination of the Eyre splitting and the local iteration modified (LIM) scheme. The latter is employed to tackle the implicit system arising each time integration step. The proposed method is gradient-stable and allows to use large time steps, whereas, regarding its computational structure, it is an explicit time integration scheme. Numerical tests are presented to demonstrate abilities of the new method and to compare it with other time integration methods for Cahn-Hilliard equation.

description: ‘We consider that Fiji has reached a crossroads and that the government and all those empowered to make decisions in our constitutional democracy are unable to make these decisions to save our people from destruction,’ Commodore Josaia Voreqe (Frank) Bainimarama told Fiji at 6pm on 5 December 2006. The military, which had ‘observed the concern and anguish of the deteriorating state of our beloved Fiji,’ had, therefore, ‘taken over the government as executive authority in the running of the country.’ Those fateful words brought to a close the long running saga of escalating tension and mounting war of words between Laisenia Qarase’s Soqosoqo Duavata ni Lewenivanua (SDL) government and the Republic of Fiji Military Forces.2 The following day, President Ratu Josefa Iloilo met Commodore Bainimarama. After confused vacillation and shortly before being sidelined, the President signed a military order dissolving parliament and inaugurating a military administration. Commodore Bainimarama assumed the President’s office. A month later he was sworn in as Prime Minister when he restored Ratu Josefa as President.
Estimating the Prompt Electromagnetic Luminosity of a Black Hole Merger

description: Although recent work in numerical relativity has made tremendous strides in quantifying the gravitational wave luminosity of black hole mergers, very little is known about the electromagnetic luminosity that might occur in immediate conjunction with these events. We show that whenever the heat deposited in the gas near a pair of merging black holes is proportional to its total mass, and the surface density of the gas in the immediate vicinity is greater than the (quite small) amount necessary to make it optically thick, the characteristic scale of the luminosity emitted in direct association with the merger is the Eddington luminosity independent of the gas mass. The duration of the photon signal is proportional to the gas mass, and is generally rather longer than the merger event. At somewhat larger distances, dissipation associated with realigning the gas orbits to the new spin orientation of the black hole can supplement dissipation of the energy gained from orbital adjustment to the mass lost in gravitational radiation; these two heat sources can combine to augment the electromagnetic radiation over longer timescales.

description: Abstract

objective: This study aimed to evaluate and compare pre- and post-operative corneal changes in eyes treated with silicone oil tamponade. Methodology: A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted at Al-Shifa Trust Eye Hospital in Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan, enrolling subjects using a non-probability consecutive sampling technique undergoing silicone oil tamponade. Detailed ocular examination of the anterior and posterior segments was performed with slit lamp biomicroscopy. Corneal parameters, including principal corneal curvature K1, K2, its average KAVG, central corneal thickness (CCT), and anterior chamber depth (ACD), were measured with IOL Master 700 pre- and post-operatively. Data were entered and analyzed using DATATAB online web-based software. Results: A total of 50 subjects participated, including 34 (68%) males and 16 (32%) females, with a mean age of 48.10 ± 18.55, ranging from 10 to 80 years. The mean pre- and post-operative values for K1, K2, KAVG, CCT, and ACD were 42.93 ± 1.91, 44.67 ± 1.80, 43.87 ± 1.63, 529.14 ± 37.02, and 3.79 ± 1.02, and 42.71 ± 1.82, 44.74 ± 2.01, 43.81 ± 1.77, 531.74 ± 38.18, and 3.99 ± 1.00, respectively. Comparing pre- and post-operative corneal parameters after one-month follow-up, no significant changes were observed. However, a statistically significant increase in ACD was observed (p < 0.002). Conclusion: No significant changes in corneal parameters occurred in eyes with silicone oil tamponade, while an increase in anterior chamber depth was observed.

description: We report on temperature dependence of acoustic phonon-induced resistance oscillations in very high mobility two-dimensional electron systems. We observe that the temperature dependence is non-monotonic and that higher order oscillations are best developed at progressively lower temperatures. Our analysis shows that, in contrast to Shubnikov-de Haas effect, phonon-induced resistance oscillations are sensitive to electron-electron interactions modifying the single particle lifetime.

The dark tetrad and depressive symptoms : exploring the role of rumination
Creators: name: Tracy, RP
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Psychopathy, narcissism, Machiavellianism, and sadism comprise the Dark Tetrad; a group of socially aversive, non-clinical personality traits characterised by callousness, dishonesty, and manipulation. Psychopathy has been further differentiated into primary and secondary psychopathy, while two variants of narcissism, grandiose and vulnerable, have also been identified. Few studies have investigated the mental health correlates of the dark traits, thus the current study examined the relationship between the Dark Tetrad and depression, and explored the role of rumination in this relationship. Two subtypes of rumination were considered: brooding and reflection. The sample comprised 316 individuals aged between 18 and 68 years, 53.8% of whom were members of the community while 46.2% were current university students. Participants completed an anonymous online survey, with a cross-sectional, correlational design. Results largely supported the hypotheses, indicating that the dark traits fall along a continuum of depressive symptoms. Vulnerable narcissism and secondary psychopathy were shown to significantly predict higher depression levels, while grandiose narcissism was significantly connected to lower depression scores. Rumination was found to moderate the relationship between the Dark Tetrad and depression, however this was only the case for the brooding subtype. This research indicated that dark personality traits likely influence the selection and use of coping strategies, such as rumination, and illustrated the impact this can have on depressive symptoms. Further exploration of these connections would offer a greater understanding of socially aversive behaviours and how individuals with these traits function in the world, with implications for existing models of personality and psychopathology.
Supersymmetry as a method of obtaining new superintegrable systems with higher order integrals of motion

description: The main result of this article is that we show that from supersymmetry we can generate new superintegrable Hamiltonians. We consider a particular case with a third order integral and apply the Mielnik's construction in supersymmetric quantum mechanics. We obtain a new superintegrable potential separable in Cartesian coordinates with a quadratic and quintic integrals and also one with a quadratic integral and an integral of order seven. We also construct a superintegrable system written in terms of the fourth Painleve transcendent with a quadratic integral and an integral of order seven.

description: This deliverable describes the results of the assessment of the preliminary configuration designs of the LiftWEC concept. It details the ‘Scenario Test Cases’ that were run on certain preliminary configuration designs. Due to delays in development of the operations and maintenance software, as well as the large number of preliminary configurations: the assessment approach was to take the broad category of configurations using standard towing vessels and configurations that would require larger vessels. Details are provided on the representative site, met-ocean resource data, vessel parameter data, technician requirements and cost details. A discussion on the results is included and any operational risk areas identified are consolidated into a series of recommendations for consideration for the baseline configuration designs.

Accretion of a massive magnetized torus on a rotating black hole

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: We present numerical simulations of the axisymmetric accretion of a massive magnetized plasma torus on a rotating black hole. We use a realistic equation of state, which takes into account neutrino cooling and energy loss due to nucleus dissociations. We simulated various magnetic field configurations and torus models, both optically thick and thin for neutrinos. It is shown that the neutrino cooling does not significantly change either the structure of the accretion flow or the total energy release of the system. The calculations evidence heating of the wind surrounding the collapsar by the shock waves generated at the jet-wind border. This mechanism can give rise to a hot corona around the binary system like SS433. Angular momentum of the accreting matter defines the time scale of the accretion. Due to the absence of the magnetic dynamo in our calculations, the initial strength and topology of the magnetic field determines magnetization of the black hole, jet formation properties and the total energy yield. We estimated the total energy transformed to jets as $1.3\times 10^{52}$ {ergs} which was sufficient to explain hypernova explosions like GRB 980425 or GRB 030329.

description: This document constitutes Deliverable 8.1 of the LiftWEC project and consists of a cost database gathering all costs related to a wave energy project. A thorough literature review has been performed to compile the cost database. The document is divided into four sections. After a brief introduction, the first section enumerates all costs related to capital expenditure. Costs related to operating expenditure are gathered in the second section. The following section breakdowns the cost in order to visualise easily the relative importance of the different cost centres. A discussion driven by the objective of the LiftWEC project, of developing a cost-effective lift based wave energy converter, is concluding the report.

Activity of ZnO in the ternary system ZnO-CaO-SiO2
Creators: name: Fairweather, Michael John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The activity of ZnO in ternary Zno-CaO-SiO₂ slags has been measured at 1300 C by equilibration with copper rich brass and low oxygen potential gas utilizing the following reversible galvanic cell: Pt I H₂,H₂O |0.85Zr0₂-0.15CaO | 0₂(Air)|Pt Thermodynamic data on the component binaries was employed to calculate the excess free energy of the ternary system and the isoactivity patterns of the three components at 1600 C with respect to the metastable pure liquid standard states. An estimate of 6 E.U. was made for the entropy of fusion of ZnO. The measured activities are in good agreement with the calculated values. The proposed excess free energy contours in the Zno-CaO-SiO₂ ternary are similar in shape to those calculated in a similar manner for the FeO-CaO-SiO₂ system. Also the calculated zinc oxide isoactivity figure resembles the ferrous oxide isoactivity diagram. This zinc oxide isoactivity pattern projects towards the lime orthosilicate composition. This shape is characteristic of FeO, but in the case of ZnO the projection is less pronounced. Both these observations are in keeping with the slightly more basic behaviour of zinc oxide.

Complex evolution of the electronic structure from polycrystalline to monocrystalline graphene: generation of a new Dirac point

description: First principles calculations, employed to address the properties of polycrystalline graphene, indicate that the electronic structure of tilt grain boundaries in this system displays a rather complex evolution towards graphene bulk, as the tilt angle decreases, with the generation of a new Dirac point at the Fermi level, and an anisotropic Dirac cone of low energy excitations. Moreover, the usual Dirac point at the {\bf K} point falls below the Fermi level, and rises towards it as the tilt angle decreases. Further, our calculations indicate that the grain-boundary formation energy behaves non-monotonically with the tilt angle, due to a change in the the spatial distribution and relative contributions of the bond-stretching and bond-bending deformations associated with the formation of the defect.
