description: We analyse aspects of symmetry breaking for Moyal spacetimes within a quantisation scheme which preserves the twisted Poincaré symmetry. Towards this purpose, we develop the LSZ approach for Moyal spacetimes. The latter gives a formula for scattering amplitudes on these spacetimes which can be obtained from the corresponding ones on the commutative spacetime. This formula applies in the presence of spontaneous breakdown of symmetries as well.We also derive Goldstone's theorem on Moyal spacetime. The formalism developed here can be directly applied to the twisted standard model.

The mean maxima and minima of the relative diaphragm positions $$ \overline{x}_{\text {ref,max}}$$ x ¯ ref,max and $$ \overline{x}_{\text {ref,min}}$$ x ¯ ref,min are extracted from the corresponding reference scan. The filtered average lung ventilation signal of scan i, which should be normalized, is determined and the mean maxima and minima of this signal ( $$ \overline{S}_{i,\text {max}}$$ S ¯ i , max , $$ \overline{S}_{i,\text {min}}$$ S ¯ i , min ) calculated from the respective peaks. This filtered average lung ventilation signal is also correlated with the relative diaphragm positions of scan i. Fitting this correlation allows to extract the slope $$ \text {d}S_{i}/ \text {d}x_{i}$$ d S i / d x i .
SeagrassTraitDB: the global database of curated seagrass traits

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: SeagrassTraitDB (https://seagrasses.ccmar.ualg.pt) is the first global database of curated seagrass traits that has been created to integrate seagrass trait data from around the world, based on datasets contributed by seagrass scientists. Data is stored in a consistent format, following community standards for metadata description and plant ontology definitions. It responds to the growing need for efficient database tools to bring together the rapidly accumulating seagrass data. It is based on the principles of global coordination, FAIR principles, and author acknowledgement.

 

SeagrassTraitDB will provide large datasets for ecological research studies that use a trait-based approach to understand seagrass responses to environmental change, how their functional structure influences ecosystem functions and services, and how this can be applied to seagrass conservation. 

 

The poster was presented at the World Seagrass Conference 2024, Napoli, Italy, in June 2024.

description: We propose a new type of the Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF), which uses the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) for covariance estimation from a very small ensemble with automatic tapering, and for a fast computation of the analysis ensemble by convolution, avoiding the need to solve a sparse system with the tapered matrix. The FFT EnKF is combined with the morphing EnKF to enable the correction of position errors, in addition to amplitude errors, and demonstrated on WRF-Fire, the Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) model coupled with a fire spread model implemented by the level set method.

A study of the Eden myth in Canadian literature
Creators: name: Balsevich, Mary M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this thesis is to determine the presence and manipulation of the Eden myth in Canadian literature. The interrelation of form and content existed from the beginning of Canadian literature in the travel journal and travel literature. Myth and Eden are essentially man's reaction against, and his relation to this geographical surroundings as contained in his manipulations of the travel journal. The thesis is divided into six chapters. The first will deal with the early travel journals. The second will delineate Hugh MacLennan's comprehension and definitions of Eden and myth. The third will present Gabrielle Roy's extenuations of this theme. The fourth will examine Gwendolyn MacEwen's manipulation of general mythology and her allusions to Eden and myth. The fifth will consider Margaret Atwood's poetry as a basic restatement of the early travel journals. The sixth shall be a general conclusion and commentary of D. G. Jones' Butterfly on Rock which hints at some of the themes in Canadian literature. Jones briefly alludes to Edenic concepts and some of the pervasiveness and implications of myth, mostly in terms of alienation and frustration. He thereby notes many of the subsidiary details and skims and miscomprehends their implications.
Delirium: the lived experience
Creators: name: Pollard, C
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Delirium is one of the most serious and prevalent cognitive disorders occurring in the older person post-surgery. Delirium is a potentially preventable and reversible cause of post-operative functional disability, morbidity and mortality. As well as the significant impact for the person, delirium also results in increased health care costs and poses a substantial challenge for clinicians. Medical and nursing textbooks concentrate on diagnosis, reduction of the modifiable risk factors and treatments. Nursing research has examined documentation, nursing skills and lack of education on how to nurse the delirious patient. However, little research has focused on the patient's experience of incomprehension and various feelings of discomfort during an acute episode of delirium. The importance of researching the patient's experience of delirium provides health care staff insight into the experience, enables understanding and acknowledgement, and supports improving evidence-based care to meet the needs expressed by the delirious patient. The aim of this study was to explore the lived experience of delirium in the acute inpatient orthopaedic population with the anticipation that increased understanding and knowledge of this lived experience will support the development of evidence-based nursing care management of the delirious patient. This study examines the experiences of eleven patients who described their experiences of delirium in semi-structured interviews. The interviews were transcribed verbatim, and analysed using the techniques of qualitative description (Sandelowski 2000) and the grounded theory coding process described by Glaser and Strauss (1967). The findings of this study provide an insight into the incomprehensible emotional pain suffered by patients while they were delirious and the disparate feelings of remorse, guilt and shame they experienced after the episode of delirium. It is hoped that the findings of this study will contribute to the care of the delirious patient post-surgery. Following this study, it is apparent that more research is required into the long-term impact of the experience of delirium.
REACH Story of Change: Improving water security in Ethiopia through integrated use of surface and groundwater resources
Creators: name: REACH
Publisher: name: University of Oxford
Year: 2024

description: As one of Africa’s fastest growing cities, Addis Ababa’s demand for water has sky-rocketed over recent decades due to population growth, increased per capita consumption, rural to urban migration, and growing water demand from industry. Water supplies across the city are already struggling to meet demand, with regularly interruptions to water services exacerbating inequities.

REACH has applied a range of methodologies to examine the implications of climate and population growth for Addis Ababa’s water supply, providing evidence-based recommendations toward improving water security in the city. A crucial element of this work has been the development of a first-of-its-kind dynamic water allocation model integrating both surface and groundwater resources. Supported by this work, two other large basins, the Lake Tana and the Central Rift Valley Lakes basins, totalling 6 million people, have requested technical assistance and are updating their water allocation models to incorporate groundwater.

description: By use of a novel experimental design, one that provides for superfluid helium in contact with bulk hcp 4He off the melting curve, we have observed the DC transport of mass through a cell filled with solid 4He in the hcp region of the phase diagram. Flow, which shows characteristics of a superflow, is seen to be independent of the method used to grow the solid, but depends on pressure and temperature. The temperature dependence suggests the possibility of hysteresis.

description: SARS-CoV-2 variants have emerged that escape neutralization and potentially impact vaccine efficacy. T cell responses play a role in protection from reinfection and severe disease, but the potential for spike mutations to affect T cell immunity is incompletely understood. We assessed neutralizing antibody and T cell responses in 44 South African COVID-19 patients infected either with the Beta variant (dominant from November 2020 to May 2021) or infected prior to its emergence (first wave, Wuhan strain), to provide an overall measure of immune evasion. We show that robust spike-specific CD4 and CD8 T cell responses were detectable in Beta-infected patients, similar to first wave patients. Using peptides spanning the Beta-mutated regions, we identified CD4 T cell responses targeting the wild type peptides in 12/22 first wave patients, all of whom failed to recognize corresponding Beta-mutated peptides. However, responses to mutated regions formed only a small proportion (15.7%) of the overall CD4 response, and few patients (3/44) mounted CD8 responses that targeted the mutated regions. Among the spike epitopes tested, we identified three epitopes containing the D215, L18, or D80 residues that were specifically recognized by CD4 T cells, and their mutated versions were associated with a loss of response. This study shows that in spite of loss of recognition of immunogenic CD4 epitopes, CD4 and CD8 T cell responses to Beta are preserved overall. These observations may explain why several vaccines have retained the ability to protect against severe COVID-19 even with substantial loss of neutralizing antibody activity against Beta.

description: We present a scheme for stabilizing multiple lasers at wavelengths between 795 and 866 nm to the same atomic reference line. A reference laser at 852 nm is stabilized to the Cs D2 line using a Doppler-free frequency modulation technique. Through transfer cavities, four lasers are stabilized to the relevant atomic transitions in 40Ca+. The rms linewidth of a transfer-locked laser is measured to be 123 kHz with respect to an independent atomic reference, the Rb D1 line. This stability is confirmed by the comparison of an excitation spectrum of a single 40Ca+ ion to an eight-level Bloch equation model. The measured Allan variance of 10^(-22) at 10 s demonstrates a high degree of stability for time scales up to 100 s.

description: Deliverable D1.2 builds upon the cross-disciplinary perspectives of the AEC industry discussed in D1.1, by providing a more detailed description of the specific software framework (‘ontology’) and functionalities that must be implemented to achieve the PrismArch platform. These topics are grouped under two headings: How data should be exchanged between different software packages and databases (Section 2), and How that data should be visualised and interacted with inside the VR environment (Section 3). Section 2 begins by first analysing in-depth several existing AEC ontologies, and evaluating their relative suitability for the PrismArch platform. Various PrismArch-specific requirements are then described in detail, and solutions are proposed for how they could be integrated into the chosen software ontology. Section 3 describes a series of studies undertaken by the AEC partners to determine the most efficient interfaces that will allow architects, structural engineers and MEP engineers to collaborate within a shared VR environment, while respecting and enhancing the small number of discipline-specific UI requirements that also exist. These studies build upon the research undertaken in previous Deliverables - particularly D3.1 and D6.1 - and take the form of user interviews, followed by functionality maps, which together inform the design of the VR interfaces that are proposed at the end of this document.

Survival of dessicated root-nodule bacteria
Creators: name: Bushby, Harold Vivian Anddrew
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: It has been demonstrated that the fast-growing root-nodule bacteria are more susceptible to desiccation than the slow-growing species. This reaction to drying has been related to the amount of water retained by the two bacteria] groups at any vapour pressure. Invariably, the fast-growing bacteria retained more water than the slow-growing species. This may be a reflection of the higher surface energies involved in 'wetting the fast-growing species at any vapour pressure, and the larger surface area available for adsorption of water by these bacteria relative to the slow-growing rhizobia. The different responses of the two' bacterial groups to desiccation is probably related to the different amounts of water retained rather than to differences in the rate of movement of water between the bacteria and the environment on desiccation. Very little effect of desiccation um lysozyme sensitivity could be detected for either fast-or slow-growing rhizobia. Consequently, it is Unlikely that sub-lethal. damage involves alterations of the integrity of the lipopolysacchnride layer of the bacteria surviving desiccation. However, desiccation did cause drastic changes to the surface features of rhizobia as determined by fluorescence of bacteria in the presence of l-anilino-8-naphthalene sulphonate. This could reflect damage to the cytoplasmic membrane and leakage of intracellular material from killed bacteria. Montmorillonite to was found to protect the fast-growing but pot the slow-growing rhizobia from desiccation. Protection of the former group of bacteria is dependent upon the precise clay/bacterium association as not all combinations resulted in increased ability of these bacteria to survive drying . It has been postulated that the mechanism of action or montmorillonite is to decrease the intracellular water content of desiccated fast -growing rhizobia below an undefined critical level . As the water content of desiccated slow-growing rhizobia is normally below this value, further removal intracelluular water by clay has to effect upon survival . Of all the other additives tested, only maltose, sucrose, glucose and polyvinylpyrolidone (PVT) protected both the fast -and slow -growing rhizohia from dryng. The effect of polyethylene glycol (MW 6000) was similar t o the effect of montmorillionite as the polymer protected the fast- growing bacteria but not the slow-growing species. All other additives tested were either detrimental or had no effect upon survival of desiccated bacteria. The mechanism of protection of sugars and PVP is unknown but it has been suggested that the site of action may involve the cytoplasmic membrane.

description: By fixing the internal CP factor of tachyon and massless Ramond vertex operators in different pictures, we have shown that the internal CP factor of the disk level S-matrix elements of two fermions and odd number of tachyon vertex operators in the world volume of non-BPS D-branes/D-brane-anti-D-brane is zero. We have calculated the S-matrix element of two fermions and two tachyons which has non vanishing internal CP factor, and found the momentum expansion of this amplitude. In the abelian case, we have compared the two-fermion-two-tachyon coupling at low energy with the corresponding coupling in the gauge-fixed supersymmetric tachyon DBI action. The couplings in the two cases are exactly the same.

Chemical studies on inland waters in Tasmania
Creators: name: Buckney, Rodney Thomas
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: A simple scheme of major ion variability in inland waters is proposed, and is based on the assumptions (a) that the relative proportions of the major ions (Stoichiometry) are controlled by the relative contributions of the atmosphere and the catchment to the dissolved matter in these waters and (b) that total concentration is controlled by climate. The published literature describing chemical changes in inland waters is explored for evidence in support of this scheme; it is concluded that sufficient examples exist for the acceptance of a normal or usual scheme of seasonal chemical change, though biological and other factors may obscure such changes. A two-part notation describing the major ion chemistry of inland waters is derived and adopted to redescribe the chemistry of Tasmanian Waters. This notation is used to facilitate the investigation of some features of the variability of Tasmanian waters. Evidence is presented to show that climate is by far the most important determinant of variability of concentration, and that climate and geology are the most important factors affecting stoichiometric variability; morphometric factors are less important. Outlines of models describing the chemical change in three waters are derived. These describe the main factures of the effects of (a) flow regime (b) flow rate and (c) sediments on the chemistry of these waters.

The metabolism of bromine in mammals.
Creators: name: Barta, Joseph
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The aim of the present investigation was to determine whether bromine has a physiological role in the mammalian body. For this purpose the following investigations were carried out: (1) Bromide levels and its possible binding to protein in the sera of human subjects and guinea pigs were examined. No protein bound bromine was found in either. The bromide ratios of red blood cells to serum and of the serum to C.S.F. were determined. The concentration varies between cells and serum in blood, but only to a limited extent, and is higher than in C.S.F. The blood concentration is influenced by diet. The bromide/chloride ratio in both serum and C.S.F. were also measured and was found to be different. The serum bromide levels in a group of schizophrenic patients fell within the lower half of the normal range. This was shown to be due to the dietary factor. (2) The bromide content in various tissues of man (including various regions of one human brain), of guinea pigs, of rabbits and of rats were examined by a chemical method. A radio-isotope method was also used but only in guinea pigs. The results showed that no tissue concentrates bromide preferentially, with the exception of the stomach (measured only in guinea pigs). No protein bound bromine was found in the pituitary. The prolonged administration of varying amounts of bromide to guinea pigs showed that there was a progressive accumulation of bromide in all organs studied, the highest being in the serum. The addition of fluoride to the drinking water of guinea pigs significantly decreased the bromide level in all tissues studied. This suggests that fluoride can displace bromide in tissues. (3) The effect of bromide and fluoride on thyroid. function was investigated, and the results suggest that bromide may stimulate and fluoride depress the production of thyroid hormone. (4-) The rate of bromide excretion in humans was investigated using both radioisotopic and chemical techniques; the results showed that there was very little excretion during the first 24 hours (approximately 2 percent) and that the average biological half-life of bromide is approximately 6 days. Studies also indicated that chloride is excreted. preferentially to bromide by the kidney. It was found that bromide is excreted. at a reduced rate during the night. This diurnal rhythm of bromide excretion follows very closely that of chloride and sodium. There was no definite relationship between urinary volume and bromide excretion. (5) Prolonged administration of bromide and. fluoride to guinea pigs showed no significant effect on blood components, such as sodium, potassium, acetyl cholinesterase and alanine amino transferase (G.P.T).

description: Both the theoretical and experimental discovery of single-Dirac-cone topological-insulator-class was reported at arXiv:0812.2078 (2008) [Y. Xia et.al., Nature Physics 5, 398-402 (2009) http://www.nature.com/nphys/journal/v5/n6/full/nphys1294.html]. Here we report the first observation of Spin-Momentum Helical Locking and Spin-Vortex structures in Bi2Se3 and Bi2Te3, demonstrate the existence of Topological-Order at 300K and report a material realization of topological-transport-regime for helical Dirac fermions. Our results reveal a one-to-one spin-momentum locked Dirac structure in Bi2Se3 and Bi2Te3 that is nearly 100% spin-polarized, which exhibits a tunable topological fermion density in the vicinity of the Kramers' point and can be driven to the long-sought topological-transport-regime. The observed topological nodal Dirac ground state is found to be protected even up to room temperature (300 K). Our results pave the way for future transport based studies of topological insulators, and possible room temperature applications of protected spin-polarized edge channels we observe with spin-ARPES in spintronic technology. All of these new results are made possible due to the Spin-resolved-ARPES (Mott polarimetric) technique [http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v460/n7259/full/nature08234.html ] .

description: Der Übergang nach kinder- und jugendpsychiatrischen Klinikaufenthalten zurück in den Alltag ist eine vulnerable Phase mit besonderen Herausforderungen und Risiken, die eine Anpassungsleistung der betroffenen Kinder und Jugendlichen erfordert. Die Nachsorge als wichtige finale Behandlungsphase bietet die Möglichkeit, Schwierigkeiten bei der Reintegration frühzeitig zu erkennen und aufzufangen und das erhöhte Risiko einer Rehospitalisierung zu reduzieren. Der Übergang nach der Entlassung zurück in den Alltag und Interventionen, um diesen zu erleichtern, sind zunehmend Gegenstand aktueller Forschung. Dennoch ist die Studienlage noch begrenzt und Befunde zur Wirksamkeit von Nachsorge sind heterogen. Die Dissertation umfasst Untersuchungen zur Reintegrationsphase aus der Sicht von Patientinnen und Patienten, Eltern und Lehrkräften sowie das darauf aufbauende Forschungsprojekt „DigiPuR“ (Digital gestützte Psychotherapie und Reintegration) zur Intensivierung der Nachsorge und Verbesserung der sektorenübergreifenden Versorgung im klinischen Versorgungsalltag. Sie liefert Impulse zur Entwicklung und Evaluation von hinreichenden Nachsorgeangeboten, um die Versorgung von Kindern und Jugendlichen mit psychischen Erkrankungen zu verbessern.

description: We investigate the properties of nuclear matter at the first-order phase transitions (FOPT) such as liquid-gas phase transition, kaon condensation, and hadron-quark phase transition. As a general feature of the FOPT of matter consisting of many species of charged particles, there appears a mixed phases with regular structures called "pasta" due to the balance of the Coulomb repulsion and the surface tension between two phases. The equation of state (EOS) of mixed phase is different from those obtained by a bulk application of Gibbs conditions or by the Maxwell construction due to the effects of the non-uniform structure. We show that the charge screening and strong surface tension make the EOS close to that of the Maxwell construction.

An ultrastructural study of the anal papillae of aedes campestris larvae and of the hind gut of Aedes campestris and Aedes aegypti larvae
Creators: name: Meredith, Joan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The basic morphology and ultrastructure of the anal papillae of a saline water mosquito larva (Aedes campestris) have been investigated under two physiological conditions: (a) normal hyperosmotic external medium and (b) dilute hyposmotic medium. The ultrastructure of these organs suggests that they are not rudimentary, but rather are made up of cells that are morphologically specialized for transport. The anal papillae appear active in both the normal and dilute media and possible functions under the two physiological conditions are discussed. No major qualitative or quantitative differences were observed with the large change in external medium. This suggests that physiologically-demonstrated adaptive changes may require only minor structural alterations. The morphology and ultrastructure of the hind gut of A. campestris larvae were compared under two physiological conditions; normal (requiring hyporegulation) and dilute (requiring hyperegulation) external medium. No differences which might be associated with hyporegulation were observed. The rectum of A. campestri s was compared to that of Aedes aegypti. The rectum in the former is composed of two regions, an anterior and posterior rectum, while in Aedes aegypti, an exclusively freshwater mosquito larva, the rectum has only a single region. The rectal epithelia in both insects studied have morphological specializations for water and ion transport, and a consideration of quantative differences suggests that the posterior rectum is unique to Aedes campestris and hence could be responsible for the ability of this species to produce hyperosmotic urine. When the posterior rectal epithelium is compared to similar transporting epithelia in previously-studied terrestrial insects, several ultra-structural differences were noted. It is suggested that the mechanism of hyperosmotic urine production in saline water insects may be different from that in terrestrial insects. Several possible mechanisms of hyperosmotic urine production are discussed.

Ultrastructural studies of neurosecretion in Periplanta americana, L. : with special reference to the optic lobe and to ancillary circulatory structures.
Creators: name: Beattie, Terence Michael
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis presents mainly ultrastructural data on neurosecretory (NS) cells in the optic lobe and on several ancillary circulatory structures. A vital staining technique for NS material using acridine orange is described. All known types of NS material in insects give a positive reaction with this technique. The ultrastructure, histology and histochemistry of a new group of NS cells in the optic lobe are described. The axons of these cells are innervated by axons containing small dense granules which probably control the function of the NS cells. The optic lobes have been previously postulated as the site of a circadian clock controlling locomotor activity and the NS cells may be intimately involved with this clock mechanism. Initial experiments to find a causal relationship between the NS cells and activity were equivocal. Four pairs of segmental blood vesseIs occur in association with abdominal excurrent ostia of the heart. The segmental blood vessels are composed of fibroblasts and connective tissue strands and have numerous longitudinal NS axons which form an extension of the neurohaemal organ 1 associated with the lateral cardiac nerve. The number of release sites in the NS axons show a marked diurnal variation. The valves of the segmental blood vessels are composed of a peculiar type of muscle. They are innervated by granule-containing axons. The valves have a rhythm different to the heart, and it appears as if they have different controlling mechanisms. The valves appear to control the distribution of blood to various regions of the abdomen. The NS axons of the lateral cardiac nerve are at least partly derived from segmental nerves of the ventral cord as well as from the median/transverse nerves. There is a pair of peripheral NS cells at the junction of the median/transverse nerve and the link nerve. There is also a multipolar neuron in this region. The link nerve appears to constitute a neurohaemal site. Accessory pulsatile organs associated with the antennae have a complex structure. Briefly, two ampullae are attached to the Irons and they are connected to each other by a pulsatile muscle. There is a neurohaemal system in the ampulla wall which contains terminal Herring bodies. A vessel runs to the antenna from the ampulla. The cells of the vessel wall are specialized and have many resemblances to other epithelia involved in active transport of ions and/or water.

description: We give a complete characterization of the continuity of pseudodifferential operators with symbols in modulation spaces $M^{p,q}$, acting on a given Lebesgue space $L^r$. Namely, we find the full range of triples $(p,q,r)$, for which such a boundedness occurs. More generally, we completely characterize the same problem for operators acting on Wiener amalgam space $W(L^r,L^s)$ and even on modulation spaces $M^{r,s}$. Finally the action of pseudodifferential operators with symbols in $W(\Fur L^1,L^\infty)$ is also investigated.
