Proneness and methodological factors in body ownership illusions
Creators: name: De Foe, Alexander

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Researchers have long been enamoured with the nature of embodiment and perceptual experiences involving a distinctive change in one’s body-space perspective. Throughout the previous few decades, studies on out-of-body experiences (OBEs) and body ownership illusions (BOIs) have highlighted the prevalence of a wide range of body-self perceptual distortions occurring across populations. Numerous cognitive and neurological theories have been posited in order to explore the nature of embodiment. Furthermore, previous studies have indicated that particular factors, including verbal hallucinations and fantasy proneness, predispose some people to body ownership distortions such as OBEs. Other research has focused on the methodological factors that produce a realistic illusion of disembodiment, or body ownership transfer, to an external source. In order to investigate this field of research further, four experiments were conducted using variations of the Body Transfer Illusion (BTI) to evaluate conditions most conducive to having the experience of swapping bodies with another person. Individual differences were also investigated in order to explore one’s proneness to having a realistic experience of ownership transfer. The pilot experiment included seven participants and the findings demonstrated a significant relationship between a participant having had verbal hallucinations in the past and their immersion in the BTI. Experiment 1 had 15 participants and the results showed that a negative relationship exists between age and immersion in a newly-developed variation of the BTI, the Mirrored Body Illusion (MBI). Experiment 2 consisted of 40 participants and, consistent with Experiment 1, the results showed a negative association between age and immersion (i.e., increasing age was associated with a decrease in immersion in the illusion) across both the BTI and MBI configurations. An effect was also noted between schizotypy proneness and immersion in the BTI. Experiment 3 contained 20 participants, and the findings revealed a single variable which predicted immersion in both the BTI and MBI: Having a prior history of verbal hallucinations. Finally, a meta-analysis was performed on the aggregate data in Experiment 2 and 3 in order to ascertain patterns and commonalities across these two experiments. The variable most prominent in predicting one’s level of immersion in the BTI was age (a negative association was noted). Implications regarding individual differences and experimental conditions in BOIs are discussed. A body-self matrix model is emphasised to contextualise the role of individual differences discovered throughout the studies conducted. The role of multimodal matching in body representation is also critiqued, and a new visuospatial continuation principle is proposed. Finally, some of the remaining unanswered methodological and proneness questions in this field are considered.

description: Here we present bulk property measurements and electronic structure calculations for PuFeAsO, an actinide analogue of the iron-based rare-earth superconductors RFeAsO. Magnetic susceptibility and heat capacity data suggest the occurrence of an antiferromagnetic transition at TN=50 K. No further anomalies have been observed down to 2 K, the minimum temperature that we have been able to achieve. Structural measurements indicate that PuFeAsO, with its more localized 5f electrons, bears a stronger resemblance to the RFeAsO compounds with larger R ions, than NpFeAsO does.

title: Additive Manufacturing of Smart Antennas and Frequency Selective Surfaces
Creators: name: Shastri, Anshuman
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2021

description: This thesis presents the development and the additive manufacturing of smart antennas and frequency selective surfaces (FSS) for microwave, millimetre wave, and low-Terahertz applications. Numerous fabrications techniques such as etching, low-cost inkjet-printing, Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) and Aerosol Jet Printing are employed to fabricate the antennas and FSS. Firstly, frequency reconfigurable antennas with close-coupled biasing technique are developed using double-sided etching on a thin mylar substrate for smart current and voltage sensing applications. The frequency tunable antenna also acts as a novel current sensing antenna in a smart sensing system that can sense the alternating current passing through a wire. The design is followed by introducing a low-cost inkjet-printed industry ready solution for frequency reconfigurable antennas where a single antenna aperture solution is utilised to demonstrate frequency reconfigurability in both switching and tuning configurations. Development of Frequency Selective Surfaces using low-cost printing machine is demonstrated in which FSS structures are inkjet-printed as wallpaper posters for Radio Frequency (RF) shielding and signal enhancements for 4G and 5G applications. A novel approach for fully 3D printing an FSS structure is also demonstrated using a low-cost open-source printer, which was modified to print the filament and the conductive inks simultaneously. Widespread investigation of industry-grade Aerosol Jet printing is utilised for additive manufacturing of bandstop and bandpass FSS designs for RF shielding and signal filtering. The bandstop designs are developed for microwave and millimetre-wave applications. The bandpass slot FSS designs are developed for millimetre wave and low-Terahertz applications for futuristic Beyond 5G and 6G systems.

description: It is an undeniably fact that the United Nations plays an important role in our world. Since its establishment, its main aim is to be a beacon of international peace and security in all means. However, the organizations recently suffered from a lot of institutional, political and other problems, as well as problems within its significant organs like General Assembly, International Court of Justice and most importantly, the Security Council. The United Nations has showed a lot of failures and inactions in tackling and solving a lot of contemporary political conflicts, civil wars, and humanitarian crises that have been escalated since the Arab Spring’s revolutions in 2011. Moreover, the problems it suffers from have become more severe, overwhelming and have been threatening its integrity, objectivity, credibility and effectiveness in the eyes of a lot of scholars, international experts, countries and populations.
 Therefore, I intend to give a critical analysis to the current functioning of the United Nations organization.

description: We study dynamical capture binary neutron star mergers as may arise in dense stellar regions such as globular clusters. Using general-relativistic hydrodynamics, we find that these mergers can result in the prompt collapse to a black hole or in the formation of a hypermassive neutron star, depending not only on the neutron star equation of state but also on impact parameter. We also find that these mergers can produce accretion disks of up to a tenth of a solar mass and unbound ejected material of up to a few percent of a solar mass. We comment on the gravitational radiation and electromagnetic transients that these sources may produce.

description: In supervised machine learning, models are abstractions from training data which should contain structural information, but not fit the training data too closely. It therefore seems reasonable to consider them as anonymous. Unfortunately, research has shown this assumption to be wrong at least in some cases. Therefore, the models have to be considered as personal data in those cases, and data protection law needs to be taken into account.

description: It remains disputed how much the risk of Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB) is increased in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and the extent to which orthopaedic implants explain the risk. We assessed SAB incidence rates (IRs) and incidence rate ratios (IRRs), comparing RA patients with a general population cohort (GPC) and individuals with versus without orthopaedic implants. Danish residents aged ≥ 18 years without prior RA or SAB (=GPC) were followed up for RA and microbiologically verified SAB events (1996–2017). IRRs were calculated by age- and sex-stratified Poisson regression adjusted for age, comorbidities, calendar year, and socioeconomic status. The GPC comprised 5 398 690 individuals. We identified 33 567 incident RA patients (=RA cohort) (median follow-up 7.3 years, IQR 3.6–12.3). We observed 25 023 SAB events (n = 224 in the RA cohort). IRs per 100 000 person-years were 81.0 (RA cohort) and 29.9 (GPC). IRs increased with age. Adjusted IRRs in 18–59-year-old RA patients were 2.6 (95% confidence interval 1.8–3.7) for women and 1.8 (1.1–3.1) for men, compared with same sex and age group GPC. IRRs declined with age. Compared with the GPC without implants, IRRs for RA patients with implants ranged from 1.9 (1.3–2.8) (women ≥ 70 years) to 5.3 (2.2–12.8) (18–59-year-old men). In this nationwide registry-based cohort study RA was a risk factor for SAB, and orthopaedic implants further increased the risk. Clinicians should be aware of potential SAB in patients with RA and orthopaedic implants.
Exposing the Ideas, Discourses, and Limitations of the Council of Australian Governments’ Closing the Gap Agenda for Health

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: 160699 Political Science not elsewhere classified
subject: FOS: Political science

description: This thesis explores how neoliberal ideas and values have shaped policy settings and outcomes in Indigenous health, focusing on the Council of Australian Governments’ closing the gap policy launched in 2007. Indigenous health is often considered to be an intractable, “wicked” policy problem. Despite the implementation of various national reforms by successive Commonwealth governments, Indigenous peoples continue to experience significant disparities in health and social outcomes. The Rudd Labor Commonwealth government declared that the closing the gap reforms marked a watershed in Indigenous affairs, transforming how national policy sought to overcome Indigenous disadvantage. It argued that the reforms would be based upon an objective, thorough assessment of evidence, rather than political ideology.

 This thesis challenges the view that the closing the gap reforms supported an innovative, ideologically neutral policy approach. Rather, the policy settings and institutional arrangements structuring the reforms promoted neoliberal ideas and practices, which have exemplified and accentuated recent policy trends in Indigenous health.

 Research undertaken for this thesis shows that neoliberal values have interfaced with other influential discourses, specifically that of a biomedical model of health, to shape policies in Indigenous health. There is significant congruence between the values and assumptions that underpin biomedicine and neoliberal ideology. As a consequence, the political shift towards neoliberalism in recent decades has elevated an individualised, biomedical approach to health service and program delivery and a behavioural approach to health promotion in Indigenous health.

 This thesis further explores how the neoliberal framework for reform has created a number of problems in addressing Indigenous health disadvantage, and frustrated the implementation of more efficacious policy approaches. There is little evidence to suggest that an individualised, biomedical approach can support substantive improvements in Indigenous peoples’ health and social outcomes. Health policies that promote a broader, social approach to health have proved to be relatively successful. Reflective of neoliberal ideas and practices, the closing the gap reforms understated the benefits of these potentially more effective policy approaches. Moreover, the technical, “evidence-based” framework of the reforms worked only to obscure from view, rather than promote, these alternative policy options. The conclusion drawn from this research is that the closing the gap reforms were a missed opportunity to redress the chronic failings of past policies and the longstanding crisis in Indigenous health.

description: We use the SAURON and GMOS integral field spectrographs to observe the active galactic nucleus (AGN) powered outflow in NGC 1266. This unusual galaxy is relatively nearby (D=30 Mpc), allowing us to investigate the process of AGN feedback in action. We present maps of the kinematics and line strengths of the ionised gas emission lines Halpha, Hbeta, [OIII], [OI], [NII] and [SII], and report on the detection of Sodium D absorption. We use these tracers to explore the structure of the source, derive the ionised and atomic gas kinematics and investigate the gas excitation and physical conditions. NGC 1266 contains two ionised gas components along most lines of sight, tracing the ongoing outflow and a component closer to the galaxy systemic, the origin of which is unclear. This gas appears to be disturbed by a nascent AGN jet. We confirm that the outflow in NGC 1266 is truly multiphase, containing radio plasma, atomic, molecular and ionised gas and X-ray emitting plasma. The outflow has velocities up to \pm900 km/s away from the systemic velocity, and is very likely to be removing significant amounts of cold gas from the galaxy. The LINER-like line-emission in NGC 1266 is extended, and likely arises from fast shocks caused by the interaction of the radio jet with the ISM. These shocks have velocities of up to 800 km/s, which match well with the observed velocity of the outflow. Sodium D equivalent width profiles are used to set constraints on the size and orientation of the outflow. The ionised gas morphology correlates with the nascent radio jets observed in 1.4 GHz and 5 GHz continuum emission, supporting the suggestion that an AGN jet is providing the energy required to drive the outflow.

description: Context. Time-dependent, 3D radiation transfer calculations are important for the modeling of a variety of objects, from supernovae and novae to simulations of stellar variability and activity. Furthermore, time-dependent calculations can be used to obtain a 3D radiative equilibrium model structure via relaxation in time. Aims. We extend our 3D radiative transfer framework to include direct time dependence of the radiation field; i.e., the $\partial I/ \partial t$ terms are fully considered in the solution of radiative transfer problems. Methods. We build on the framework that we have described in previous papers in this series and develop a subvoxel method for the $\partial I/\partial t$ terms. Results. We test the implementation by comparing the 3D results to our well tested 1D time dependent radiative transfer code in spherical symmetry. A simple 3D test model is also presented. Conclusions. The 3D time dependent radiative transfer method is now included in our 3D RT framework and in PHOENIX/3D.

Developing the global ‘thin blue line’: Supporting international policing through professionalisation
Creators: name: Orgad, Milan
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In an increasingly interconnected world police have enhanced their cooperative capacities with one another to counter the rise in trans-national crime and to combat the increase of international terrorism. Additionally civilian police have become a resource for international peacekeeping missions to maintain public order in times of crisis or post-conflict rebuilding. Police have sought to improve their practices and the way they do their core business in light of the need to address contemporary challenges. Driven by social and political pressures, policing has undergone many reforms aimed at improving practices and accountability, reducing corruption and instilling a culture of professionalism.

 This thesis examines the challenges police must now face in order to undertake their international operational responsibilities. It considers whether the pursuit of police professionalisation can enhance capabilities to meet increasing demands for police to deliver international services. This thesis details the contextual development of both international policing and police professionalisation, and explores the existing literature on key developments within these subjects. It examines three case studies and the content of interviews conducted with police subject matter experts who have had previous involvement in international policing operations.

 The examination of policing is limited within this thesis to police organisations and police practitioners that that have adopted a policing by consent model as this aligns the research with the intent of international policing operations and the goals of the organisations undertaking such operations. In this context, police are answerable to governance structures founded on democratic principles, and are accountable to the communities they police.

 Overall, this thesis argues that the concepts and activities within police professionalisation can address some of the challenges facing police in the international context.

Emotional Agency in Telecounselling: A Cognitive Model

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Applied Psychology

description: In recent years, evidence has shown that remote mental health care can be effective, and studies have demonstrated high levels of satisfaction with treatments provided via telecommunication technologies. However, the literature also suggests that remote psychotherapy (including telephone and internet-based technologies) should be assessed for the quantity and quality of information therapists’ have access to, and how this might influence the therapeutic process. The current study evaluated clinicians’ experiences of communication during technology-based sessions, and their awareness of their own and others’ emotions during computer-mediated psychotherapy.

 Experiment 1 evaluated participants’ ability to perceive emotional discourse and the mental health issues of clients via various technologies. The results showed that the perception of emotions did not differ significantly across text-based, audio-only, and video-audio modes of deliver. The findings, however, highlighted the difficulty people had with perceiving emotions when information was communicated via non-humans (i.e., robotic voice). In addition, text-based modes of delivery (e.g., text-messaging) were associated with problems identifying emotional content.

 Experiment 2 investigated the participants’ emotional awareness as well as their mood before and after the computer-mediated trials. Technology did not influence the participants’ mood, nor did it affect their ability to differentiate emotions. However, the findings demonstrated that a high positive mood prior to a therapeutic session influences a therapists’ awareness with regard to their own emotions.

 Experiment 3 assessed psychotherapists’ ability to be aware of, and make decisions regarding, clients’ emotions in simulated, video-based therapy sessions. Participants who scored higher on an emotional intelligence scale were better able to make diagnostic decisions.

 Overall, the research provides evidence in support of the view that tele-mental health care is a feasible alternative to face-to-face therapy. From a human-computer interaction (HCI) point of view, the experiments show that emotional information can be effectively transmitted between client and clinician via several, different forms of technology. From clinical perspective, the results suggest that a clinician’s ability to perceive emotional information and diagnose mental illness is not impeded by many telecommunication technologies. It is, however, suggested that clinicians would benefit from taking time to reflect on their own emotions prior to therapeutic sessions. This study also presents a conceptual model that shows the causal relationship among emotional intelligence, emotional perception, and diagnosis as the key abilities in therapeutic process. This model may be used as groundwork for future research in computer-mediated psychotherapy by investigating the therapeutic communication across virtual reality or automated psychotherapists.

description: We present a new measurement of the time-dependent CP asymmetry of B0->D*+D*- decays using (471+-5) million BBbar pairs collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II B Factory at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. Using the technique of partial reconstruction, we measure the time-dependent CP asymmetry parameters S=-0.34+-0.12+-0.05$ and C=+0.15+-0.09+-0.04. Using the value for the CP-odd fraction R_perp=0.158+-0.028+-0.006, previously measured by BaBar with fully reconstructed B0->D*+D*- events, we extract the CP-even components S+=-0.49+-0.18+-0.07+-0.04 and C+=+0.15+-0.09+-0.04. In each case, the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic; the third uncertainty on S+ is the contribution from the uncertainty on R_perp. The measured value of the CP-even component S+ is consistent with the value of sin(2Beta) measured in b->(ccbar)s transitions, and with the Standard Model expectation of small penguin contributions.

Customary renewal and the pursuit of power and prosperity in post-occupation East Timor: a case-study from Babulo, Uato-Lari
Creators: name: Barnes, Susanna
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Anthropology
subject: FOS: Sociology

description: This thesis is an ethnographic study of post-occupation sociality in East Timor. Based on fieldwork conducted during prolonged periods between 2006 and 2015, this ethnography focuses on the experiences of the people of Babulo, a predominantly Naueti-speaking community located in Uato-Lari subdistrict on the south-eastern coast of East Timor. The Naueti language belongs to the Austronesian family group and Naueti-speakers are among the least well-known ethno-linguistic groups of East Timor. As such, this thesis makes a contribution to the burgeoning field of East Timor anthropology as well as the field of comparative Austronesian studies.

 In this thesis I describe and analyse how, since the violent withdrawal of the Indonesian military and civilian administration in 1999, the people of Babulo have been engaged in a process of recovery and renewal characterised by the revitalisation of customary beliefs and practices. I demonstrate that underpinning this resurgence of custom is a renewed commitment to a vision of society in which social and spiritual relations are constructed around the idea that life is continually given, received, reciprocated and renewed. I argue that this vision of society provides a cultural schema where the logic of precedence operates as a key structuring principle that shapes and gives meaning to social interactions and is the basis of social distinctions and inequalities. Focusing on the role of key social actors in Babulo, the ritual authority known as the Source of the Land, I describe how the customary economy of Babulo has become a site of struggle over symbolic and material resources where status and political influence is affirmed, contested, negotiated and re-calibrated. Nevertheless, I suggest that such struggles are undertaken not solely in pursuit of power within a framework of domination/subordination, but also as a means of securing social cohesion and prosperity.

 To conclude, I discuss the significance of this case study in the context of the wider ethnography of East Timor and the field of Austronesian studies, as well as noting the limitations of the present study and identifying directions for future research.

A backward Bäcklund transform of a generalized harmonic inverse mean curvature surface is defined. A Darboux transform of a generalized harmonic inverse mean curvature surface is constructed by a backward Bäcklund transform. For a given isothermic harmonic inverse mean curvature surface, its classical Darboux transform is a harmonic inverse mean curvature surface. Then a transform of a solution to the Painlevé III equation in trigonometric form is defined by a classical Darboux transform of a harmonic inverse mean curvature surface of revolution.

description: We present an analysis of the ionic composition of iron for two interplanetary coronal mass ejections observed in May 21-23 2007 by the ACE and STEREO spacecraft in the context of the magnetic structure of the ejecta flux rope, sheath region, and surrounding solar wind flow. This analysis is made possible due to recent advances in multispacecraft data interpolation, reconstruction, and visualization as well as results from recent modeling of ionic charge states in MHD simulations of magnetic breakout and flux cancellation CME initiation. We use these advances to interpret specific features of the ICME plasma composition resulting from the magnetic topology and evolution of the CME. We find that in both the data and our MHD simulations, the flux ropes centers are relatively cool, while charge state enhancements surround and trail the flux ropes. The magnetic orientation of the ICMEs are suggestive of magnetic breakout-like reconnection during the eruption process, which could explain the spatial location of the observed iron enhancements just outside the traditional flux rope magnetic signatures and between the two ICMEs. Detailed comparisons between the simulations and data were more complicated, but a sharp increase in high iron charge states in the ACE and STEREO-A data during the second flux rope corresponds well to similar features in the flux cancellation results. We discuss the prospects of this integrated in-situ data analysis and modeling approach to advancing our understanding of the unified CME-to-ICME evolution.

Kiama kia Adhuri An evaluation of its offence to Christianity .pdf
Creators: name: Omondi, Francis

Subjects: Theology

description: This study examined whether Kiama’s initiation rituals are religious acts of worship and therefore undermines Christianity, as claimed by Agikuyu church leaders. I employed the four steps of Osmer’s practical theology methodology to structure the study, which involved descriptive, interpretive, normative, and strategic tasks to understand the Kiama movement. Then used the criterion of Arnold van Gennep’s Rites of passage and Victor Turner’s Rituals to evaluate Kiama kia Mburi’s ceremonies to determine their meaning. On the question of sacrifices and offerings, the research found out that the shedding of animal blood was not unique to the Kiama ceremonies but occurred without question in other events in the Agikuyu’s lives, like in marriage. The study determined that the rituals were rites of passage for the Agikuyu men into varying degrees of eldership. It established a yearning to return to the Agikuyu customs disrupted by colonialism and the coming of Christianity. This study identified political rather than religious motif in the resurgence of the Kiama kia Mburi, purporting to protect Agikuyu’s political and economic interests. But this would undermine Christianity as well.
The Sub-Saharan Plague: Small Arms and Light Weapons in the Mano River Basin

description: This thesis offers an investigation into the proliferation of Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW) in the Mano River Basin; a sub-region of West Africa in which the nations of Côte d'Ivoire, Sierra Leone, Guinea-Bissau and Liberia share both common boarders and a common history of civil conflict fuelled by an abundant and largely unregulated supply of small arms. Specifically, this thesis answers the question of why SALW are so prevalent in the Mano River Basin. Though the Mano River Basin and West Africa in general have featured heavily in political discourse and research pertaining to development, the causes of conflict and the conditions for peace in the sub-region, there has, to date, been no significant study undertaken that offers an explanation as to why the SALW that undermine human security in the Mano River continue to circulate with such freedom and with so little impediment. This thesis seeks to fill this void, through a qualitative analysis of credible secondary sources that focuses, where possible, on the accounts of those men, women and children of the Mano River who have felt and who continue to feel the terrible impact of conflict fuelled by SALW each and every day.

 The findings of this research indicate that the prevalence of SALW in the Mano River Basin can largely be attributed to three key factors: the weakness of state apparatuses and civil institutions within the sub-region; the lack of a cohesive, legally binding instrument that addresses issues of small arms supply and demand equitably; and the inadequacy of the post-conflict programming hitherto implemented in the sub-region. Above all, this thesis finds that contrary to the opinions of some within the field of political science generally and arms-control more specifically, the continuing and pervasive presence of SALW remains a clear and present threat to the maintenance of sustainable peace in the Mano River Basin.
Momentum Broadening in Weakly Coupled Quark-Gluon Plasma (with a view to finding the quasiparticles within liquid quark-gluon plasma)

description: We calculate P(k_\perp), the probability distribution for an energetic parton that propagates for a distance L through a medium without radiating to pick up transverse momentum k_\perp, for a medium consisting of weakly coupled quark-gluon plasma. We use full or HTL self-energies in appropriate regimes, resumming each in order to find the leading large-L behavior. The jet quenching parameter \hat q is the second moment of P(k_\perp), and we compare our results to other determinations of this quantity in the literature, although we emphasize the importance of looking at P(k_\perp) in its entirety. We compare our results for P(k_\perp) in weakly coupled quark-gluon plasma to expectations from holographic calculations that assume a plasma that is strongly coupled at all length scales. We find that the shape of P(k_\perp) at modest k_\perp may not be very different in weakly coupled and strongly coupled plasmas, but we find that P(k_\perp) must be parametrically larger in a weakly coupled plasma than in a strongly coupled plasma at large enough k_\perp. This means that by looking for rare (but not exponentially rare) large-angle deflections of the jet resulting from a parton produced initially back-to-back with a hard photon, experimentalists can find the weakly coupled short-distance quark and gluon quasiparticles within the strongly coupled liquid quark-gluon plasma produced in heavy ion collisions, much as Rutherford found nuclei within atoms or Friedman, Kendall and Taylor found quarks within nucleons.

description: The use of Jupyter notebooks in concrete structural design classes, or indeed almost any other engineering class, provides students with a tool that can be extremely useful in their learning process and also throughout their professional lives. They provide an easy and yet powerful way to test, design, compare or visualise design methods and procedures. Being open source, it ensures that course content remains accessible and affordable to all students and that they can use it freely even after they leave university. Jupyter notebooks also facilitate active learning by allowing students to use notebooks by reading and running notebooks, and then they can edit or complete notebooks as assignments or simply to improve their knowledge. Undoubtedly, the more these tools are used and shared, the more benefits can be gained. This note is intended as a small contribution to that.

The Black Hole Mass - Stellar Velocity Dispersion Relationship for Quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7

description: We assess evolution in the black hole mass - stellar velocity dispersion relationship (M-sigma relationship) for quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 for the redshift range 0.1 < z < 1.2. We estimate the black hole mass using the "photoionization method," with the broad Hbeta or Mg II emission line and the quasar continuum luminosity. For the stellar velocity dispersion, we use the narrow [O III] or [O II] emission line as a surrogate. This study is a follow-up to an earlier study in which we investigated evolution in the M-sigma relationship in quasars from Data Release 3. The greatly increased number of quasars in our new sample has allowed us to break our lower-redshift subsample into black hole mass bins and probe the M-sigma relationship for constant black hole mass. The M-sigma relationship for the highest-mass (log M > 9 solar masses) and lowest-mass (log M < 7.5 solar masses) black holes appears to evolve significantly, however most or all of this apparent evolution can be accounted for by various observational biases due to intrinsic scatter in the relationship and to uncertainties in observed quantities. The M-sigma relationship for black holes in the middle mass range (7.5 < log M < 9 solar masses) shows minimal change with redshift. The overall results suggest a limit of +/- 0.2 dex on any evolution in the M-sigma relationship for quasars out to z ~ 1 compared with the relationship observed in the local universe. Intrinsic scatter may also provide a plausible way to reconcile the wide range of results of several different studies of the black hole - galaxy relationships.
