description: When a shell collapses through its horizon, semiclassical physics suggests that information cannot escape from this horizon. One might hope that nonperturbative quantum gravity effects will change this situation and avoid the `information paradox'. We note that string theory has provided a set of states over which the wavefunction of the shell can spread, and that the number of these states is large enough that such a spreading would significantly modify the classically expected evolution. In this article we perform a simple estimate of the spreading time, showing that it is much shorter than the Hawking evaporation time for the hole. Thus information can emerge from the hole through the relaxation of the shell state into a linear combination of fuzzballs.

description: The Australian Telescope Large Area Survey (ATLAS) observes seven square degrees of sky down to 10 ˜í¬¿Jy beam\\(^{‚Äöv†v¿1}\\) at 1.4 GHz using the Australia Telescope Compact Array. The survey covers two fields to minimise cosmic variance; the Chandra Deep Field South (CDFS) and the European Large Area ISO Survey - South 1 (ELAIS). My PhD focusses specifically on the cosmic evolution of radio sources in ATLAS. We have used the AAOmega spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) to measure 466 new spectroscopic redshifts in ATLAS. We have used both the spectra obtained from the AAT, and other multiwavelength ancillary data available in these fields to discriminate between starforming galaxies and AGN. Using these data we have studied the radio luminosity function for both star-forming galaxies and AGN. We have also identified and analysed wide-angle tailed galaxies in ATLAS and discovered a ‚Äöv†¬¿12 Mpc largescale structure associated with a wide-angle tailed galaxy in ELAIS at z‚Äöv†¬¿0.2. Using deep far- infrared data from the Far-Infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (FIDEL) we were able to study the far-infrared radio correlation in the Extended-CDFS and we found no evidence for evolution out to redshifts of ‚Äöv†¬¿3.

description: Cooperation, i.e., paying a cost to benefit others, is a recurring

phenomenon in human interactions and a fundamental prin-
ciple of our societies. Hence, it is of great interest to under-
stand under what conditions this behavior can be promoted.

In the context of public good games and multilevel public
goods games, I behaviorally and experimentally investigate
if and how cooperation varies along with or as a response to
other factors, namely norms, social efficiency, group identity,

and risk. First, I find that personal norms, i.e., what one un-
conditionally believes to be the right thing to do, have major

explanatory power over cooperation than social norms, i.e.,
what one believes others will do and think is the right thing
to do. Moreover, I find that individuals positively react to
social efficiency increases related to an upper-level (global)

public good. The documented increase in contributions to-
ward the global good comes at the expense of the contribu-
tions to a lower-level (local) public good, with the total contri-
bution remaining unvaried. Furthermore, I obtain evidence

that this result is robustly replicated in the context of groups
primed with a strong sense of national identity and facing
a task framed to recall real-world institutions (national and
European Union public budgets). Lastly, I document that the
presence of a probability of facing significant losses - whether
independent or correlated among group members - does not
impact contributing behavior in the public good compared to

deterministic scenarios. These results, while building on re-
cent cutting-edge experimental literature, suggest interesting

avenues for new research.

description: Hexaarylbenzene (HAB) derivatives are versatile aromatic systems playing a significant role as chromophores, liquid crystalline materials, molecular receptors, molecular-scale devices, organic light-emitting diodes and candidates for organic electronics. Statistical synthesis of simple symmetrical HABs is known via cyclotrimerization or Diels–Alder reactions. By contrast, the synthesis of more complex, asymmetrical systems, and without involvement of statistical steps, remains an unsolved problem. Here we present a generally applicable synthetic strategy to access asymmetrical HAB via an atom-economical and high-yielding metal-free four-step domino reaction using nitrostyrenes and α,α-dicyanoolefins as easily available starting materials. Resulting domino product—functionalized triarylbenzene (TAB)—can be used as a key starting compound to furnish asymmetrically substituted hexaarylbenzenes in high overall yield and without involvement of statistical steps. This straightforward domino process represents a distinct approach to create diverse and still unexplored HAB scaffolds, containing six different aromatic rings around central benzene core. © 2021 The Authors.

description: We analyze the time evolution describing a quantum source for noninteracting particles, either bosons or fermions. The growth behaviour of the particle number (trace of the density matrix) is investigated, leading to spectral criteria for sublinear or linear growth in the fermionic case, but also establishing the possibility of exponential growth for bosons. We further study the local convergence of the density matrix in the long time limit and prove the semiclassical limit.

description: In this paper we consider in detail the properties of dynamical heterogeneity in lattice glass models (LGMs). LGMs are lattice models whose dynamical rules are based on thermodynamic, as opposed to purely kinetic, considerations. We devise a LGM that is not prone to crystallization and displays properties of a fragile glass-forming liquid. Particle motion in this model tends to be locally anisotropic on intermediate time scales even though the rules governing the model are isotropic. The model demonstrates violations of the Stokes-Einstein relation and the growth of various length scales associated with dynamical heterogeneity. We discuss future avenues of research comparing the predictions of lattice glass models and kinetically constrained models to atomistic systems.

A stand-alone hybrid power system with energy storage
Creators: name: Haruni, AMO
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Small-scale hybrid stand-alone power systems are becoming popular alternatives in remote and island areas where grid connection is not economically or technically viable. Harnessing the abundant supply of wind and solar energy can play an important role in ensuring an environmentally friendly and clean energy generation for remote and isolated communities. However, renewable energy sources are intermittent in nature, and as a result, power generation from renewable energy sources often may not necessarily match the load demand. Therefore, energy storage is required to ensure reliable power supply. Hybrid power systems with renewable sources can provide efficiency, reliability and security, while reducing operational costs. However, the main challenge of hybrid power system applications is satisfying the load demand under constraints. Therefore, proper control and coordination of each energy generation unit is vital. It is also important to ensure robustness of the energy management system to avoid system black-outs when power from the renewable energy sources is not adequate to support all loads. This thesis proposes a novel operation and control strategy for a hybrid power system for a stand-alone operation. The proposed hybrid system consists of a wind turbine, a fuel cell, an electrolyzer, a battery storage unit and a set of loads. The overall control strategy is based on a two-level structure. The top level is the energy management and power regulation system. The main objective of this system is to ensure a proper control and coordination of the system. It also controls load scheduling during wind variability under inadequate energy storage to avoid system black-outs. Depending on wind and load conditions, this system generates reference dynamic operating points to low level individual sub-systems. Based on these operating points, the local controllers manage the wind turbine, fuel cell, electrolyzer and battery storage units. The local controller of wind turbine extracts the reference power from the varying wind by regulating the rotor speed. The fuel cell is controlled by using a hydrogen regulator and boost converter, and the electrolyzer via a buck-converter. A bidirectional dc-dc converter is employed to control charging and discharging of the battery storage system. The proposed control system is implemented with MATLAB Simpower software and tested for various wind and load conditions. Results are presented and discussed.

description: We present and analyse new R-band frames of the gravitationally lensed double quasar FBQ 0951+2635. These images were obtained with the 1.5m AZT-22 Telescope at Maidanak (Uzbekistan) in the 2001-2006 period. Previous results in the R band (1999-2001 period) and the new data allow us to discuss the dominant kind of microlensing variability in FBQ 0951+2635. The time evolution of the flux ratio A/B does not favour the continuous production of short-timescale (months) flares in the faintest quasar component B (crossing the central region of the lensing galaxy). Instead of a rapid variability scenario, the observations are consistent with the existence of a long-timescale fluctuation. The flux ratio shows a bump in the 2003-2004 period and a quasi-flat trend in more recent epochs. Apart from the global behaviour of A/B, we study the intra-year variability over the first semester of 2004, which is reasonably well sampled. Short-timescale microlensing is not detected in that period. Additional data in the i band (from new i-band images taken in 2007 with the 2m Liverpool Robotic Telescope at La Palma, Canary Islands) also indicate the absence of short-timescale events in 2007.

description: The nematic instability is an undebatable ingredient of the physics of iron-based superconductors. Yet, its origin remains enigmatic as it involves a fermiology with an intricate interplay of lattice-, orbital-, and spin degrees of freedom. It is well known that thermoelectric transport is an excellent probe for revealing even subtle signatures of instabilities and pertinent fluctuations. In this paper, we report a strong response of the thermoelectric transport properties of two underdoped 1111 iron-based superconductors to a vanishingly small strain. By introducing the strain derivative of the Seebeck and the Nernst coefficients, we provide a description of the nematic order parameter, proving the existence of an anisotropic Peltier-tensor beside an anisotropic conductivity tensor. Our measurements reveal that the transport nematic phenomenology is the result of the combined effect of both an anisotropic scattering time and Fermi surface distortions, pointing out that in a realistic description, abreast of the spin fluctuations also the orbital character is a fundamental ingredient. In addition, we show that nematic fluctuations universally relax in a Curie–Weiss fashion above TS in all the elasto-transport measurements and we provide evidences that nematicity must be band selective.

description: Discontinuous reception (DRX) is a key technology for reducing the energy consumption of industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices. Specifically, DRX allows the devices to operate in a low-power mode when no data reception is scheduled, and its effectiveness depends on the proper configuration of the DRX parameters. In this paper, we characterize the DRX process departing from a semi-Markov chain modeling. We detail two ways to set DRX parameters to minimize the device power consumption while meeting a mean delay constraint. The first method exhaustively searches for the optimal configuration. In contrast, the second method uses a low-complexity metaheuristic to find a sub-optimal configuration, thus considering ideal and practical DRX configurations. Notably, within the DRX parameters, the inactivity timer (IT) is a caution time that specifies how long a device remains active after the last information exchange. Traditionally, a device implementing DRX will restart the IT after each data reception as a precedent to a low-power mode. The usual approach lies in restarting the IT whenever new data is received during this cautious period, which might sometimes needlessly extend the active time. Herein, we propose a more efficient method in which the transmit base station (BS) explicitly indicates restarting the timer through the control channel only when appropriate. The decision is taken based on the BS's knowledge about its buffer status. We consider Poisson and bursty traffic models, which are typical in IIoT setups, and verify the suitability of our proposal for reducing the energy consumption of the devices without significantly compromising the communication latency through extensive numerical simulations. Specifically, energy-saving gains of up to 30% can be obtained regardless of the arrival rate and delay constraints.

description: In this study, we report on the observation of de Haas-van Alphen-type quantum oscillations (QOs) in the ultrasound velocity of NbP as well as "giant QOs"in the ultrasound attenuation in pulsed magnetic fields. The difference in the QO amplitude for different acoustic modes reveals a strong anisotropy of the effective deformation potential, which we estimate to be as high as 9eV for certain parts of the Fermi surface. Furthermore, the natural filtering of QO frequencies and the tracing of the individual Landau levels to the quantum limit allows for a more detailed investigation of the Fermi surface of NbP, as was previously achieved by means of analyzing QOs observed in magnetization or electrical resistivity. © 2020 authors.

description: Single photons emerging from q-plates (or Pancharatnam-Berry phase optical element) exhibit entanglement in the degrees of freedom of spin and orbital angular momentum. We put forward an experimental scheme for probing the spin-orbit correlations of single photons. It is found that the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) parameter S for the single-photon spin-orbit entangled state could be up to 2.828, evidently violating the Bell-like inequality and thus invalidating the noncontextual hidden variable (NCHV) theories.

Optimisation of 2,4-D treatments for the control of common scab of potato (and related studies)
Creators: name: Thompson, HK
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Common scab is an economically important disease of potato found in most growing regions of the world. There are few practical control methods and none that are both reliable and effective. Disease is minimised through planting resistant varieties, strategic use of irrigation, seed tuber treatments and late planting. Common scab is caused by pathogenic Streptomyces spp. that produce thaxtomins, necrosis-causing phytotoxins that are essential for pathogenicity. Previous research had found that 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), a herbicide and synthetic auxin, controlled common scab symptoms when applied to the foliage of potato, but also resulted in undesirable phytotoxic effects. It has been demonstrated that when 2,4-D is translocated to potato tubers, it suppresses thaxtomin toxicity. This study determined optimal rates and timing of 2,4-D application for control of common scab whilst minimising phytotoxic effects of the treatments. It found that treatment of potato plants as soon as 5 days after emergence provided greater protection against common scab and greater suppression of thaxtomin toxicity in harvested tubers than treatments after tuber initiation. Rates much lower than had previously been tested were found to reduce disease and induce toxin tolerance to levels similar to that obtained with treatments at near herbicidal rates, suggesting that maximum toxicity suppression occurred at very low tuber 2,4-D levels. These very low rates did not induce any noticeable phytotoxic symptoms, nor affect harvested tuber yield or quality, and resulted in 2,4-D residue levels well below maximum residue limits in tubers at harvest. Additionally, it was found that if seed tubers were treated prior to planting, daughter tubers would have some protection from disease and show tolerance to the toxin without an additional post emergence treatment. This study also examined genetic variation in a number of somaclonal potato lines derived from Russet Burbank that showed a higher tolerance to thaxtomin than the parent line. In prior studies, enhanced tolerance to thaxtomin through reduced cellular uptake was identified in Arabidopsis thaliana mutants. Fine mapping showed mutations in the gene TXR1 were responsible for the observed phenotype. In this study, TXR1 potato homolog genes from selected thaxtomin tolerant somaclones were cloned, sequenced and analysed for variation to determine if toxin tolerance may be associated with mutations within this gene. The parent cultivar had only two allelic forms, whilst the thaxtomin tolerant variants possessed an additional eight unique alleles. These mutant TXR1 alleles may have contributed toward thaxtomin tolerance in these variants.

description: TRAFIG aims to contribute to the development of alternative solutions to protracted displacement that are tailored to the needs and capacities of displaced persons. This working paper contains our central concepts and key terms. We make use of the concept of social figurations as the theoretical foundation for our research. We understand figurations as dynamic social constellations between interdependent individuals that are produced in and through interactions and transactions. On this basis, we re-define protracted displacement as a figuration, in which displaced people’s capabilities and opportunities are severely limited for prolonged periods of time. Multiple structural forces constrain them from using their capacities and making free choices: enduring displacing forces hinder return; marginalising forces prevent local integration; immobilising forces block chances to seek a future elsewhere. Protracted displacement is, however, much less static and fixed than commonly perceived. Displaced persons do have agency. They develop diverse strategies to cope with difficult situations and navigate through governance regimes of aid and asylum – and thereby change them. To comprehend the dynamics of protracted displacement a deeper understanding of displaced people’s perspectives, capacities and practices and an acknowledgement of their everyday lives that often transgress places and territories is necessary. Translocal connectivity and human mobility can serve as resources to cope with and move out of protracted displacement. Developing new approaches to protracted displacement requires a move beyond the narrow frame of the conventional durable solutions (return, local integration, resettlement). A first step towards formulating alternatives, we suggest, is to recognise and effectively build upon displaced people’s own preferences as well as their local and translocal networks. A key question then is, how they use multiple interconnected pathways to enhance their protection and livelihood security.

description: This dissertation aims at developing a theory of right-holding not based on the concept of the sovereign individual, but based on the concept of the Confucian moral individual. The failure of the Will and Interest theories has its root cause in accepting John Stuart Mill’s concept of the sovereign individual, but as Karl Marx and Evgeny Pashukanis point out, this concept shares the same logic of the commodity owner and it ultimately suffers from the problem of the logic of commodity form: assuming the egoistic, isolated and self-sufficient monad and inverting the logic between subjects and objects. The contemporary Chinese theories of right-holding try to respond to the Marxist critique here, but they all fail: they either completely abandon the concept of the sovereign individual, thus failing to explain the subjectivity of the right-holder or they retreat to the sovereign individual, and make the same mistakes again as the Will and Interest theories do. To rescue this problem, I argue that the concept of the sovereign individual should be replaced with the concept of the Confucian moral individual. The Confucian moral individual means an individual has innate moral inclinations which is capable of determining what an individual can do and what other people should and should not do to an individual and it can be used as the assumption of right-holding. Therefore, the Confucian theory of right-holding argues that the necessary but insufficient feature of right-holding is that holding a right indicates a justifiable ground for an individual to have the Hohfeldian entitlement(s) which has the peremptory force and can solve the problems that the two theories of rights fail to do.

description: This thesis investigates the life and work of Yonezu Tomoko, a prominent female disabled activist in Japan whose work spanned both the radical women’s liberation (ūman ribu) and disability movements from the 1970s to 1996. So far ribu has been examined by scholars as primarily a women’s movement, and historiography has focused on the key figure of Tanaka Mitsu and the short-lived (1971-1977) activities connected to the Ribu Shinjuku Centre. While this work has been important in documenting ribu’s activities, it does not account for how ribu theory and practice influenced other fields of social activism. To address this gap in extant scholarship, I reassess ribu’s theoretical position as fundamentally intersectional, arguing that it embraced a politics of difference and resistance to state interventions into bodily autonomy that transcended gender alone. With this framework established, I then trace how Yonezu Tomoko, took ribu’s ideas into the field of disability activism and reproductive justice through organisations such as SOSHIREN and the DPI Josei shōgaisha Network. Following Yonezu’s life and work, I show how ribu thought provided a platform for new forms of intersectional activist groups to challenge productivity as the predominant measure of human value in Japan into the 1990s. In doing so the thesis provides an analysis of post-war Japanese reproduction discourse and addresses how the presence, participation, and contributions of disabled activists pushed the debate beyond bodily autonomy based on gender and sexuality.

description: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a monogenic disorder characterized by the formation of cysts in the kidney and is primarily caused by mutations in two genes, PKD1 and PKD2. In this study, we investigated the role of the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) Hoxb3os in ADPKD by ablating its expression in the mouse. Hoxb3os-null mice were viable and had grossly normal kidney morphology but displayed activation of mTOR/Akt signaling and subsequent increase in kidney cell proliferation. To determine the role of Hoxb3os in cystogenesis, we crossed the Hoxb3os-null mouse to two orthologous Pkd1 mouse models: Pkhd1/Cre;Pkd1F/F (rapid cyst progression) and Pkd1RC/RC (slow cyst progression). Ablation of Hoxb3os exacerbated cyst growth in both models. To gain insight into the mechanism whereby Hoxb3os inhibition promotes cystogenesis, we performed proteomic analysis of mTOR/Akt pathway between Pkd1 single-knockout (SKO) and Pkd1-Hoxb3os double-knockout (DKO) mice. Compared to SKO, DKO mice presented with enhanced levels of total and phosphorylated Rictor. This was accompanied by increased phosphorylation of AktSer473, a known mTORC2 effector site. Physiologically, kidneys from DKO mice displayed between 40-50% increase in cell proliferation. Results from this study indicated that ablation of Hoxb3os in mouse PKD exacerbated cystogenesis and dysregulated mTORC2.

Zinc biogeochemical cycle in the Tasman Sea : potential role for phytoplankton communities
Creators: name: Sinoir, M
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Zinc (Zn) plays an essential role in metabolic and structural functions for marine phytoplankton, being required in nearly 300 enzymes and proteins including carbonic anhydrase and alkaline phosphatase. The concentration of total dissolved Zn in the open-ocean is typically in the nanomolar (0.1-10 nmol L\\(^{-1}\\)) range, 98 % of which is complexed by natural strong organic ligands. In January and February 2010, the Primary productivity Induced by Iron and Nitrogen in the Tasman Sea (PINTS) cruise covered a north to south transect from the oligotropic Tasman Sea to the productive waters of the subantarctic Southern Ocean. For this thesis, samples for chemical analyses and laboratory- based cultures were collected to assess the relationship between phytoplankton growth and zinc bioavailability and speciation in this region. The pennate diatom \\(Nitzschia\\) \\(closterium\\) and the coccolithophorid \\(Emiliania\\) \\(huxleyi\\) were cultured at low free Zn concentrations ([Zn\\(^{2+}\\)] = 1.5 x 10\\(^{-12}\\) M and [Zn2+] = 1.5 x 10\\(^{-14}\\) M) to mimic the range of free Zn encountered in marine systems. Both species were able to maintain their photosynthetic activity and growth at the low [Zn\\(^{2+}\\)] applied. However, while E. huxleyi grew at these low concentrations, \\(N. closterium\\) seemed to accelerate its uptake with specific and efficient transporters and access complexed Zn. In the Tasman Sea, total dissolved Zn was observed at 0.02 to 0.19 nmol L\\(^{-1}\\) (at 15 m depth) and 0.02 to 0.11 nmol L\\(^{-1}\\) (at 150 m) along the north-south transect studied, below the range reported for other open-ocean regions. Measurements with Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (ASV) on four selected profiles from the Tasman Sea established the concentrations of labile Zn (0.6 to 500 pmol L\\(^{-1}\\)) and Zn-complexing ligands (0.23 to 4.19 nmol L\\(^{-1}\\)) for the first time in the Tasman Sea. Zn speciation was dominated by complexation to organic ligands (59 to 98%) with the highest percentages in surface. These ligands were closely related to the phytoplankton assemblages found in the studied region (Chlorophytes ~ Haptophytes > Diatoms). The links between chemistry and biology were studied with a simple conceptual ZnPPZZD model. It was parameterised with information gained in the experimental phases of this work, such as the difference of uptake response observed for the two species and range of concentrations measured. The model showed the concentration of ligands and zinc speciation played an important role in the structure of the conceptual phytoplankton assemblages. Further work is required to assess if ligands are produced by the organisms to enhance their uptake or if the chemistry of Zn strongly influences the community for a specific region.

description: Constant-weight and constant-charge binary sequences with constrained run length of zeros are introduced. For these sequences, the weight and the charge distribution are found. Then, recurrent and direct formulas for calculating the number of these sequences are obtained. With considering these numbers of constant-weight and constant-charge RLL sequences as coefficients of convergent power series, generating functions are derived. The fact, that generating function for enumerating constant-charge RLL sequences does not have a closed form, is proved. Implementation of encoding and decoding procedures using Cover's enumerative scheme is shown. On the base of obtained results, some examples, such as enumeration of running-digital-sum (RDS) constrained RLL sequences or peak-shifts control capability are also provided.

description: Enzyme immobilization is extensively studied to improve enzyme properties in catalysis and analytical applications. Here, we introduce a simple and versatile enzyme immobilization platform based on adhesion-promoting peptides, namely Matter-tags. Matter-tags immobilize enzymes in an oriented way as a dense monolayer. The immobilization platform was established with three adhesion-promoting peptides; Cecropin A (CecA), liquid chromatography peak I (LCI), and Tachystatin A2 (TA2), that were genetically fused to enhanced green fluorescent protein and to two industrially important enzymes: a phytase (from Yersinia mollaretii) and a cellulase (CelA2 from a metagenomic library). Here, we report a universal and simple Matter-tag–based immobilization platform for enzymes on various materials including polymers (polystyrene, polypropylene, and polyethylene terephthalate), metals (stainless steel and gold), and silicon-based materials (silicon wafer). The Matter-tag–based enzyme immobilization is performed at ambient temperature within minutes (<10 min) in an aqueous solution harboring the phytase or cellulase by immersing the targeted material. The peptide LCI was identified as universal adhesion promoter; LCI immobilized both enzymes on all investigated materials. The attachment of phytase-LCI onto gold was characterized with surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy obtaining a dissociation constant value (KD) of 2.9·10−8 M and a maximal surface coverage of 504 ng/cm². © 2019 The Authors.

description: We present low-frequency electrical resistance fluctuations, or noise, in graphene-based field-effect devices with varying number of layers. In single-layer devices the noise magnitude decreases with increasing carrier density, which behaved oppositely in the devices with two or larger number of layers accompanied by a suppression in noise magnitude by more than two orders in the latter case. This behavior can be explained from the influence of external electric field on graphene band structure, and provides a simple transport-based route to isolate single-layer graphene devices from those with multiple layers.

WINHAC - the Monte Carlo event generator for single W-boson production in hadronic collisions
Creators: name: Placzek, Wieslaw
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present the Monte Carlo event generator WINHAC for the charged-current Drell-Yan process, i.e. single W-boson production with leptonic decays in hadronic collisions. It features multiphoton radiationwithin the Yennie-Frautschi-Suura exclusive exponentiation scheme with O(alpha) electroweak corrections. For the initial-state QCD/QED parton shower and hadronisation it is interfaced directly to PYTHIA. It implements the options for proton-proton, proton-antipronton and any nucleus-nucleus collisions. Moreover, it includes the polarized W-boson production and the neutral current Drell-Yan process, both at the Born level. Generation of weighted as well as unweighted (weight=1) events is possible. WINHAC has been thoroughly tested numerically and cross-checked with independent Monte Carlo programs, such as HORACE and SANC; in the so-called tuned comparisons, an agreement at the sub-permil-level has been reached. It has also been used as a basic tool for developing and testing some new measurement methods of the Standard Model parameters at the LHC.

Deviant language structures in Andrej Belyj's St. Petersburg
Creators: name: Brenzinger, Ingrid
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The intricate use of language is one of the most striking features of Andrej Belyj's work, noticed by native Russian speakers and foreign students alike. Any foreign student, not too sure of the structural potential of the language and attempting a careful reading of Belyj’s work, is faced with a prohibitive task. The present study was conceived of as a linguistic commentary to the text. Initially, the intention was to study Belyj's neologisms throughout his novels. However, upon close analysis, it became evident that the neologisms were, in fact, an organic outgrowth of his use of language generally. The task of analysing this use of language throughout his work exceeded the scope of a thesis and, therefore, the subject had to be limited in some way. It was decided that an exhaustive analysis of the use of language in St. Petersburg would present the most significant results. However, when all citations were collected, it became obvious that detailed comment on all of them would produce too ponderous a volume and an arbitrary selection was made. Despite the fact that their role in language structure is superficial, many interesting archaisms and dialectal lexical items were included. At least some examples of all major recurring structural deviations were included in the discussion. Those deviations which contributed to the motif pattern or expanded the themes of the novel were, of course, cited more frequently. Since a precise numerical count of forms and structures can be achieved considerably more efficiently by using a computer, and since it is really the ratio of interrelating forms, rather than the actual number of occurrences that is significant, these ratios are cited here, and the precise counts omitted.

description: Exact results are derived relating quantities computable by the so-called damage spreading method and thermodynamic functions for the N-color Ashkin-Teller model. The results are valid for any ergodic dynamics. Since we restrict our analysis to the ferromagnetic case the results are also valid for any translational invariant lattice. The derived relations should be used in order to determine numerically the N-color Ashkin-Teller critical exponents with better accuracy and less computational efforts than standard Monte Carlo simulations.
