Petrogenesis of Batur caldera, Bali, and the geochemistry of Sunda-Banda arc basalts
Creators: name: Wheller, Graeme Eric
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The active Batur volcano On the island of Bali in the eastern Sunda arc, Indonesia, has produced a wide variety of basaltic to dacitic volcanic rock types during its evolution and now possesses a large, well-formed, double caldera. A new basaltic stratovolcano is forming centrally within the caldera. The evolution of Batur can he divided into precaldera, caldera and postcaldera stages from the volcanic stratigraphy. Beginning more than 500,000 years ago, the precaldera stage produced basaltic to andesitic lava flows and pyroclastics, forming a stratovolcano possibly 2500-3000 m high above sea-level. The subsequent caldera stage produced widely distributed deposits of dacitic pyroclastids and less abundant lava flows, which contrast markedly in lithology, mineralogy and composition with the precaldera products. Following the formation of the first Batur caldera by collapse about 100,000 years ago, and its subsequent partial filling by a thick sequence of near-vent pyroclastics and lavas during continued explosive dacitic activity, the caldera stage culminated about 23,.670 years ago with the generation of the Bali ignimbrite, which covers at least 450 km2 of southern Bali. This eruption led to formation of the second, inner Batur caldera. Basaltic and basaltic andesite material, including nine lava flows since 1949, has been erupted from within the caldera during the postcaldera stage which may have begun about 20;0.00 years ago.
San Michele in Foro representative of late romanesque architecture in Lucca
Creators: name: Wolverton, Muriel Beatrice
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The phenomenal expansion of church building during the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth centuries can be noted in Lucca as elsewhere. The power of the Benedictine Order and the Bishopric, the increase in wealth because of the silk industry as well as a prime position on the trade route between Italy and North Europe, and rivalries with Florence and Pisa, all promoted a flourishing of the arts in Lucca during the Romanesque period. An attempt has been made in this paper to draw attention to the architectural background in Lucca during the Romanesque period. The architecture appears to be divided into two phases. The first phase demonstrates a classic simplicity that appears to relate to the Early Christian basilical church with the possible intrusion of Lombard ideas. The second phase demonstrates a noticeable change in the facade which becomes a decorative screen with blind arcading, doors and windows with splayed arches and free standing galleries with carving or intarsia in the structural components. The structural and decorative aspects of the facade appear to have been adopted from the school of architecture at Pisa but at Lucca they are stamped with a local exuberance which has a lively and plastic quality not seen at Pisa. There is an underlying classical tradition which appears to be a fundamental characteristic of Tuscan architecture. The use of arcading, intarsia and sculpture, all of classical heritage when adopted at Lucca, seem to find closer parallels in the Eastern tradition. Super-imposed levels of arches are used in Lombard and Saracenic architecture and appear at Lucca as a reflection of the facade of the cathedral at Pisa. The spandrel intarsia decoration varies from that at Pisa and seems to reflect the designs of Byzantine and Saracenic textiles, on the other hand, the columnar intarsia at Lucca appears to have parallels in the architectural decoration adopted by the Normans after their defeat of the Arabs in Sicily. The carved relief of the columns finds still other parallels in Lombard, Byzantine and Saracenic work. The decoration of the facades of San Martino and San Michele at Lucca indicates, however, that if the concept was of Eastern origin there was no direct adoption of any particular prototype but interpretation perhaps even second hand interpretation which resulted in a mode of expression that remained unique to Lucca.

description: We conducted a target of opportunity X-ray observation of the classical nova V458 Vulpeculae 88 days after the explosion using the Suzaku satellite. With a 20 ks exposure, the X-ray Imaging Spectrometer detected X-ray emission significantly harder than typical super-soft source emission. The X-ray spectrum shows K lines from N, Ne, Mg, Si, and S, and L-series emission from Fe in highly ionized states. The spectrum can be described by a single temperature (0.64 keV) thin thermal plasma model in collisional equilibrium with a hydrogen-equivalent extinction column density of ~3e21/cm2, a flux of ~1e-12 erg/s/cm2, and a luminosity of ~6e34 erg/s in the 0.3-3.0 keV band at an assumed distance of 13 kpc. We found a hint of an enhancement of N and deficiencies of O and Fe relative to other metals. The observed X-ray properties can be interpreted as the emission arising from shocks of ejecta from an ONe-type nova.

The unusual X-ray morphology of NGC4636 revealed by deep Chandra observations: cavities and shocks created by past AGN outbursts

description: We present Chandra ACIS-I and ACIS-S observations (~200ks in total) of the X-ray luminous elliptical galaxy NGC4636, located in the outskirts of the Virgo cluster. A soft band (0.5-2 keV) image shows the presence of a bright core in the center surrounded by an extended X-ray corona and two pronounced quasi-symmetric, 8 kpc long, arm-like features. Each of this features defines the rim of an ellipsoidal bubble. An additional bubble-like feature, whose northern rim is located ~2 kpc south of the north-eastern arm, is detected as well. We present surface brightness and temperature profiles across the rims of the bubbles, showing that their edges are sharp and characterized by temperature jumps of about 20-25%. Through a comparison of the observed profiles with theoretical shock models, we demonstrate that a scenario where the bubbles were produced by shocks, probably driven by energy deposited off-center by jets, is the most viable explanation to the X-ray morphology observed in the central part of NGC4636. As a confirmation to this scenario, radio jets extending towards the bubbles and a central weak X-ray and radio source are detected and are most likely the signs of AGN activity which was more intense in the past. A bright dense core of ~1 kpc radius is observed at the center of NGC4636. A sharp decline in surface brightness from the core to the ambient gas is observed and is not accompanied by a variation in the temperature and thus could not be in thermal pressure equilibrium. However the bright core could be a long lived feature if the radio jets are acting as a balancing factor to thermal pressure or if the bright core is produced by steep abundance gradients.

description: We present analytic calculations and results from computational simulations showing that reaction-in-flight (RIF) neutrons act as a robust indicator for mixing of the ablator shell material into the fuel in DT capsules designed for the National Ignition Facility. The sensitivity of RIF neutrons to hydrodynamical mixing arises through the dependence of RIF production on charged-particle stopping lengths in the mixture of DT fuel and ablator material. Since the stopping power in the plasma is a sensitive function of the electron temperature and density, it is also sensitive to mix. RIF production scales approximately inversely with the degree of mixing taking place, and the ratio of RIF to downscattered neutrons provides a measure of the mix fraction and/or the mixing length. For sufficiently high-yield capsules, where spatially resolved RIF images may be possible, neutron imaging could be used to map RIF images into detailed mix images.

Extended stellar systems in the solar neighborhood - the Hyades tidal tails and beyond

Year: 2019
Subjects: Gaia, clusters, streams

description: Already the first few years of the Gaia mission have brought a wealth of new insights into the velocity distribution of the stellar population in the solar neighborhood. While the complex ridge-like pattern in the large-scale velocity distribution seems to be caused by non-axisymmetric components of the Galaxy, we can find stellar clusters and groups imprinted as small-scale fluctuations on those larger ridges in velocity space. One prominent representative of these groups is the nearest open cluster to the Sun, the Hyades.

In this contributed talk, I showed how Gaia enabled the remarkable confirmation of the long-predicted tidal tails of the Hyades open star cluster. In particular, I highlighted the striking similarity to the predicted shape of the tidal tails, as well as the expected velocity dispersion profile of the cluster. Looking beyond the Hyades, I highlighted the richness of the solar neighborhood in kinematically cold stellar associations and clusters. The structure and spatial arrangement of these groups outlines a highly dynamic evolution in the global gravitational potential of the Galaxy.

Most notably, these results favour a picture where star clusters, that are bound in the Galactic disk, are, given time, transformed into thin, dynamically-cold streams of stars, their shapes reminiscent of tidally disrupted globular clusters.

description: The increasing availability of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) has created a necessity for personalized course recommendation systems. These systems often combine neural networks with Knowledge Graphs (KGs) to achieve richer representations of learners and courses. While these enriched representations allow more accurate and personalized recommendations, explainability remains a significant challenge which is especially problematic for certain domains with significant impact such as education and online learning. Recently, a novel class of recommender systems that uses reinforcement learning and graph reasoning over KGs has been proposed to generate explainable recommendations in the form of paths over a KG. Despite their accuracy and interpretability on e-commerce datasets, these approaches have scarcely been applied to the educational domain and their use in practice has not been studied. In this work, we propose an explainable recommendation system for MOOCs that uses graph reasoning. To validate the practical implications of our approach, we conducted a user study examining user perceptions of our new explainable recommendations. We demonstrate the generalizability of our approach by conducting experiments on two educational datasets: COCO and Xuetang.

description: Several hybrid tomographic methods utilizing ultrasound modulation have been introduced lately. Success of these methods hinges on the feasibility of focusing ultrasound waves at an arbitrary point of interest. Such a focusing, however, is difficult to achieve in practice. We thus propose a way to avoid the use of focused waves through the so called synthetic focusing, i.e. by the reconstruction of the would-be response to the focused modulation from the measurements corresponding to realistic unfocused waves. Examples of reconstructions from simulated data are provided. This non-technical paper describes only the general concept, while technical details will appear elsewhere.

Sexuality, religion, and spirituality; a study of the role of religion in the oppression of women
Creators: name: Kaufman, Howard James Ruben
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis is an examination of the relations between sexuality, religion and spirituality. The use of these terms is not conventional, and my introductory chapter is to a large extent concerned with elucidating what I mean by each of them. This unconventionality is itself crucial to the thesis: I am calling into question some of the basic assumptions behind traditional anthropological questions. I am using Burridge's definition of religion from his New Heaven New Earth: The redemptive process indicated by the activities, moral rules, and assumptions about power which, pertinent to the moral order and taken on faith, not only enable a people to perceive the truth of things, hut guarantee that they are indeed perceiving the truth of things (1969:6-7). I examine how religion, insofar as its assumptions about the truth of things are to he taken on faith, is at odds with spirituality, which is the essential quality of a life which is lived to experience the truth for oneself. Religion, which upholds the moral order of society, is static; spirituality is dynamic - it implies change and growth. Sexuality is defined as "... the biological differences between female and male, and the real or assumed psychological differences dependent on these". It is shown that the only such difference is the fact that women are able to bear children, and men are not. There are no innate psychological differences between the sexes. However, people are differently socialized on the basis of the one biological difference mentioned above, so that the social personalities of women and men may, on the average, be different. My understanding of the causes of this difference in socialization rests on Simone de Beauvoir's approach to the problem in The Second Sex. Cultural assumptions about what it means to be female or male are discussed as being oppressive to spirituality. Insofar as the religion of a culture is its rationale, religion is focused on here as the arena where the sexual division of society takes place. Cultural definitions of sexuality are seen as the major cultural obstacle to spiritual growth. The particular religions examined are 1) those of the Australian Aborigines and the BaMbuti Pygmies; 2) that of Hindu civilization as manifested in the Kama Sutra ( I explain why I feel it is legitimate to consider the Kama Sutra a religious work); and 3) Buddhism. I discuss how anthropologists avoid questioning the morality of sexual oppression, and why they are concerned only with examining its effects upon the members of society. My basic conclusion is that all definitions of sexuality which attribute more to females and males than the fact that the former can bear children while the latter cannot are sexist: they are akin to religion and inimical to spirituality.

description: Using the recent weighted generalized fractional order operators of Hattaf, a general fractional optimal control problem without constraints on the values of the control functions is formulated and a corresponding (weak) version of Pontryagin's maximum principle is proved. As corollaries, necessary optimality conditions for Caputo-Fabrizio, Atangana-Baleanu and weighted Atangana-Baleanu fractional dynamic optimization problems are trivially obtained. As an application, the weighted generalized fractional problem of the calculus of variations is investigated and a new more general fractional Euler-Lagrange equation is given.

description: Over the last couple of decades, the demand for goat meat has risen in the U.S. However, the current supply of domestic goats does not meet the demand. In fact, the increase in demand is the result of the growth in ethnic populations in the U.S. Consequently, small producers are raising goats as a source of income. Thus, they must become familiar with ethnic holidays or festivals, understand marketing, and the importance of body condition scoring and selection criteria in order to increase returns from the sale of their goats. The objectives of this paper were to discuss the U.S. goat inventory, seasonality of demand and carcass specifications, marketing channels for selling goats, body condition scoring, and selection criteria used for grading goats. When producers understand the aforementioned attributes of the market and implement them, they will be able to take advantage of the market; thus, leading to sustainable enterprises.

description: We present new measurements of the diameter of o Cet (Mira) as a function of wavelength in the 2.2 micron atmospheric window using the adaptive optics system and the infrared camera and spectrograph mounted on the Subaru Telescope. We found that the angular size of the star at the wavelengths of CO and H2O absorption lines were up to twice as large as the continuum photosphere. This size difference is attributable to the optically thick CO and H2O molecular layers surrounding the photosphere. This measurement is the first direct differential spectroscopic imaging of stellar extension that resolves individual molecular lines with high spectral-resolution observations. This observation technique is extremely sensitive to differences in spatial profiles at different wavelengths; we show that a difference in diameter much smaller than the point spread function can be measured.

description: We determine the distance to the open cluster NGC 2264 using a statistical analysis of cluster member inclinations. We derive distance-dependent values of sin i (where i is the inclination angle) for 97 stars in NGC 2264 from the rotation periods, luminosities, effective temperatures, and projected equatorial rotation velocities, v sin i, measured for these stars. We have measured 96 of the v sin i values in our sample by analyzing high-resolution spectra with a cross-correlation technique. We model the observed distribution of sin i for the cluster by assuming that member stars have random axial orientations and by adopting prescriptions for the measurement errors in our sample. By adjusting the distance assumed in the observed sin i distribution until it matches the modeled distribution, we obtain a best-fit distance for the cluster. We find the data to be consistent with a distance to NGC 2264 of 913 pc. Quantitative tests of our analysis reveals uncertainties of 40 and 110 pc due to sampling and systematic effects, respectively. This distance estimate suggests a revised age for the cluster of 1.5 Myrs, although more detailed investigations of the full cluster membership are required to draw strong conclusions.

description: Record linkage means linking data from multiple sources. This approach enables the answering of scientific questions that cannot be addressed using single data sources due to limited variables. The potential of linked data for health research is enormous, as it can enhance prevention, treatment, and population health policies. Due the sensitivity of health data, there are strict legal requirements to prevent potential misuse. However, these requirements also limit the use of health data for research, thereby hindering innovations in prevention and care. Also, comprehensive Record linkage in Germany is often challenging due to lacking unique personal identifiers or interoperable solutions. Rather, the need to protect data is often weighed against the importance of research aiming at healthcare enhancements: for instance, data protection officers may demand the informed consent of individual study participants for data linkage, even when this is not mandatory. Furthermore, legal frameworks may be interpreted differently on varying occasions. Given both, technical and legal challenges, record linkage for health research in Germany falls behind the standards of other European countries. To ensure successful record linkage, case-specific solutions must be developed, tested, and modified as necessary before implementation. This paper discusses limitations and possibilities of various data linkage approaches tailored to different use cases in compliance with the European General Data Protection Regulation. It further describes requirements for achieving a more research-friendly approach to linking health data records in Germany. Additionally, it provides recommendations to legislators. The objective of this work is to improve record linkage for health research in Germany.

description: This resource is a single blog post created as part of the Day of Archaeology initiative. The Day of Archaeology project aimed to provide a window into the daily lives of archaeologists from all over the world. The project asked people working, studying or volunteering in the archaeological world to participate in a 'Day of Archaeology' each year by recording their day and sharing it through text, images or video on the Day of Archaeology blog.
The project asked anyone with a personal, professional or voluntary interest in archaeology to get involved, and help highlight the reasons why archaeology is vital to protect the past and inform our futures. The resulting Day of Archaeology project archive demonstrates the wide variety of work the archaeological profession undertakes day-to-day across the globe, and helps to raise public awareness of the relevance and importance of archaeology to the modern world.
The first ever Day of Archaeology was held in 2011 and, since then, the project had thousands of archaeologists take part in the event, from those working in the field through to specialists working in laboratories and behind computers. The last Day of Archaeology was on Friday 28th July 2017.

description: In this work, we determine the vapor-liquid (VL) coexistence and interfacial properties of the hydroquinone (HQ) pure system from $NVT$ molecular dynamics simulations. We employ the direct coexistence technique to put in contact both phases in the same simulation box and generate the VL interface. Five different models have been tested to describe the HQ molecule in order to assess the performance of different approaches. The first two models are based on the Transferable Parameters Potentials for Phase Equilibria (TraPPE) force field. The first TraPPE model is the original one based on an all-atoms approach (TraPPE-AA). The second TraPPE model is proposed for the first time in this work and is based on a united-atoms approach (TraPPE-UA) where the --CH groups from the aromatic ring are modeled as a single interaction site. We also use two HQ models based on the Optimized Potentials for Liquid Simulations (OPLS) force fields. Both OPLS models have already been reported in the literature, but this is the first time that are used to describe VLE and interfacial behavior. In addition, we propose a new Coarse grain (CG) HQ model based on the Statistical Associating Fluid Theory (SAFT) framework. We determine density profiles, coexistence densities, vapor pressure, interfacial thicknesses, and interfacial tensions as obtained from the $NVT$ simulations with the five different models. We explore the VL behavior of pure HQ system from 500 to $750\,\text{K}$. Remarkably good agreement has been found between the simulation results obtained by the TraPPE-AA, CG, and both OPLS models.

description: It is a challenge to transform the mindset of subsistence farmers to consider goats as a productive asset. Goat health, breeding, housing and nutrition are the main challenges in a smallholder production system. The development of the goat market sector is informal and underdeveloped. As a result, goats have not been identified as a significant contributor to the national gross domestic product. Many development organizations consider goats a preferred livestock commodity for poverty alleviation. Therefore, it is desirable to have a systematic approach to optimize goat production for smallholders. A smallholder goat value chain works well with a focus on improved goat production, increasing business and entrepreneur skills and organizing communities for strong social capital. Heifer International has large-scale goat value chain programs for smallholders in many countries. Partnership and collaborative efforts among academic/scientific, public/private sectors, producers and civil societies are critical for sustainable smallholder goat development.

Demarcation disputes in contemporary Australian industrial relations : their causes and methods of resolution
Creators: name: Tavender, P
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: The objective of this paper is to evaluate the causes of demarcation disputes between trade unions in contemporary Australia, and to analyse methods of resolution of such disputes. This topic is one which has had little attention in the academic or professional literature; in a large majority of cases where it has been mentioned, conflict over demarcation issues is treated as incidental to the major causes of industrial conflict and almost no more than an undesirable side effect of existing processes and structures. It will be shown however that although these disputes represent only a small proportion of working days lost through industrial conflict, the impact of such disputes upon the total economy is far greater than this statistical evidence would imply. Apart from a recent article by Wright there does not appear to have been any attempt to consider in detail this particular type of dispute especially in respect of possible causes, and how such disputes may be resolved. In considering the causes of demarcation disputes, an analysis of contemporary disputes reveals that they are usually brought about, and influenced by, a multitude of factors rather than one individual cause. While these factors are often closely inter-related, they may, for ease of analysis, be divided into 'four categories:- (a) structure of employee organisations (b) technological change (c) power structure (d) externalities, i.e. management With respect to the resolution of such disputes, a large percentage of conflict over demarcation matters are resolved by the parties themselves; such situations are only classified as disputes where some industrial action e.g. work limitations, takes place. When such conflict reaches the stage where the parties are unable or unwilling to achieve a resolution, then three basic approaches are used to assist in resolution:- (a) conciliation through the auspices of the 'peak' councils e.g. Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU); (b) conciliation and/or arbitration by industrial tribunals; (c) structural changes to employee organisations. Information for this paper has been derived from literature in respect of both the Australian and United Kingdom environment, decisions of industrial tribunals and interviews with trade union officials.

description: We measure the permeability of a fluidized bed of monodispersed bubbles with soap solution characteristic of mobile and non-mobile interfaces. These experimental data extend the permeability curves previously published for foam in the dry limit. In the wet limit, these data join the permeability curves of a hard sphere suspension at porosity equal to 0.4 and 0.6 in the cases of mobile and non-mobile interfaces respectively. We show that the model of permeability proposed by Kozeny and Carman and originally validated for packed beds of spheres (with porosity around 0.4) can be successfully applied with no adjustable parameters to liquid fractions from 0.001 up to 0.85 for systems made of monodisperse and deformable entities with non-mobile interfaces.

description: Three limiting resources to feed the world in the future are arable land, water, and Ag talent. Obviously, goat production is in this mix, because we need to use appropriate technology to improve goat production. Also, goat production is influenced by imports, markets, and a fragmented industry. Although imports may be good to fill in shortfalls in production, they may harm the industry due to their relatively lower prices compared to domestically produced goat meat. The markets are unstructured and generally lack accurate price discovery, which ultimately, makes pricing difficult. Furthermore, there have been the challenges of a fragmented industry, in which producers do not have access to adequate drugs or vaccines as well as antibiotics approved for use. Despite these challenges, the American Goat Federation is championing the course of the Goat Industry (e.g., at APHIS). Change is hard; however, all stakeholders have to embrace current technology to improve goat production, and increase profit margins.
