description: We consider the hypothesis that Dark Matter (DM) has tree-level interactions only with leptons. Such a framework, where DM recoils against electrons bound in atoms, has been proposed as an explanation for the annually modulated scintillation signal in DAMA/LIBRA versus the absence of a signal for nuclear recoils in experiments like CDMS or XENON10. However, even in such a leptophilic DM scenario there are loop induced DM-hadron interactions, where the photons emitted from virtual leptons couple to the charge of a nucleus. Using a general effective field theory approach we show that, if such an interaction is induced at one or two-loop level, then DM-nucleus scattering dominates over DM-electron scattering. This is because the latter is suppressed by the bound state wave function. One obtains a situation similar to standard DM-nucleus scattering analyses with considerable tension between the results of DAMA and CDMS/XENON10. This conclusion does not apply in the case of pseudoscalar or axial vector coupling between DM and leptons, where the loop diagrams vanish. In this case the explanation of the DAMA signal in terms of DM-electron scattering is strongly disfavored by the spectral shape of the signal. Furthermore, if DM can annihilate into neutrinos or tau leptons, the required cross sections are excluded by many orders of magnitude using the Super-Kamiokande bound on neutrinos from DM annihilations in the Sun.

Study of the interactions leading to wood resin deposition
Creators: name: Vercoe, DQ
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: In the production of mechanical pulp for paper manufacture, resinous material is released from the wood which can form colloidal dispersions that agglomerate and deposit onto surfaces. These deposits are known as pitch. It is known and cited in literature that the three major components of pitch formed from Pinus radiata extractives are fatty acids (namely those of chain length (C12-C20), resin acids and triglycerides. The major aim of this thesis is to study the interaction between the three major components of wood pitch in order to gain a better understanding of the chemical interactions at a molecular level that cause pitch deposition. The interactions between the main components of the wood extractives; resin acids, fatty acids and triglycerides, have been studied using model compounds in order to investigate the effect of chemical structure on the interactions and deposition tendency. Initially the interaction of just two components interacting with each other was investigated and showed that the difference in chemical structure and properties influenced the interaction and also the propensity to deposit. This difference in the formation of the hydrogen bond and also the stability, or strength, of the hydrogen bond can be used to explain the differences in deposition of fatty acid/resin acid mixtures. Studies undertaken to investigate a three-component system where all three hydrophobic extractives are present resulted in an extension of Qin's model of the structure of a three-component pitch colloid. In this model the hydrophobic extractives, such as triglycerides, form a hydrophobic core and the more hydrophilic extractives, such as resin acids and fatty acids, interact with each other to form a hydrophilic outer layer with their hydrophilic groups extending into the aqueous surroundings. The amount of colloidal pitch deposited was found to be related to the solubility of the hydrophobic core and to the stabilisation energy of the hydrophilic outer layer. The interaction between hemicelluloses and three of the major hydrophobic extractives of Pinus radiata, fatty acids, resin acids and triglycerides was also studied. Hemicelluloses belong to a group of heterogenous polysaccharides and due to their branched hydrophilic nature it is believed that they help to stabilise the colloidal pitch in its aqueous surroundings helping to prevent it from depositing onto surfaces. Through the theoretical calculations of the individual sugar groups and different hemicellulose monomers, predictions were also made concerning the hemicellulose structure that will have the greatest stabilising properties against colloidal pitch.

Colour - music : musical modelling in James McNeill Whistler's art
Creators: name: Teniswood-Harvey, AMC
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This study investigates the influence of Western music on Whistler's artistic theory and practice. Drawing upon primary sources, it traces Whistler's lifelong exposure to, and engagement with, music making, and considers the ways in which he translated his musical experiences into pictorial subject matter. Whistler's use of musical nomenclature and analogy are then examined, within the context of both his personal musical experience and knowledge, and the wider nineteenth-century interest in the interrelations between the visual arts and music. The notions of musical autonomy, art-for-art's sake and artistic correspondence; the influence of music on colour theory; and the discourse of enthusiasm surrounding Beethovenism and Wagnerism are deemed influential. The dissertation argues that music informed Whistler's theory and practice in a highly significant manner. The study proposes that the model of pure or absolute music - its autonomy and operations - provided Whistler with a framework to explore, justify and communicate his interest in freestanding pictorial technique. In addition to providing a paradigm for the primacy of formal interest over subject matter, the actual language and experience of music informed Whistler's pictorial practice. Whistler's approach to subject matter, colour and composition were all influenced by his musical interest. Building upon the ideas of the American scholar Kermit S. Champa, the study employs and develops an interpretive framework to analyse and discuss Whistler's use of 'musical modelling'. This method of enquiry isolates the musical operations evident in Whistler's art - pulse, rhythm, movement, pace, sequential structure, voicing, counterpoint, attack and decay, harmony, and tonality. Two detailed case studies demonstrate the validity of the musical model in interpreting Whistler's work. The first proposes a strong link between Franz Schubert's Moments musicaux, Op. 94, and Whistler's Six Projects; while the second considers the correspondences between Whistler's Nocturnes and their musical counterpart. Such analyses offer fresh readings of familiar yet enigmatic images. This dissertation discusses artworks from all the two-dimensional, pictorial media in which Whistler worked. The visual analysis focuses upon images with musical titles and/or subject matter. However, the study provides the groundwork for investigating the ways in which Whistler explored musical modelling in other works. Therefore, the interpretive model demonstrated in this dissertation has widespread application within the field of Whistler scholarship. Additionally, as an interdisciplinary study this project also contributes to the fields of art history, musicology, and Victorian studies, by documenting Whistler's eclectic patronage of musical events and his friendships with significant figures.

Reducing the toxicity of autologous haemopoetic stem cell transplants
Creators: name: Wright, Nicole Eileen
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Post-thaw washing of cryopreserved blood stem cells is intended to reduce side effects and is an increasingly common practice in Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation ( ASCT). However, the potential advantages of this extra manipulation have not been fully evaluated, and needs to be balanced against the fact that patient morbidity has already been significantly lowered by reductions in the reinfusion volume (achieved through refined harvesting, mobilising and processing techniques) and improved patient pre-medication. This study modified and validated the New York Cord Blood Banks washing protocol (Rubinstein et al. 1995). Parameters validated included; cell loss, overall viability, viable CD34+stem cell enumeration, clonogenic potential and reduction in free haemoglobin content. The results demonstrate that washing of cryopreserved stem cells improves the outcome of several key laboratory parameters without a significant negative impact upon haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) engraftment potential. To determine whether a clinical need exists for the routine washing of cryopreserved HSC autografts, a single institution, non-randomised clinical trial was performed. Patients who met trial eligibility criteria were consented for the washing of their ASCT graft, whereas all other transplant patients received thawed unwashed blood stem cells in accordance with current practice. Reinfusion associated side effects experienced by patients, their close family members (carers) and nurses following the infusion of washed or unwashed stem cells were assessed using both a Quality of Life (QOL) survey and nursing documentation forms. The surveys were self-completed by the patient, the nurse and the carer at intervals over a 24 hour period. Statistical analysis of the QOL data demonstrated that washing was associated with an improvement in several side effects associated with reinfusion including flushing, nausea and unpleasant tastes for patients and unusual smells for both carers and nurses. Furthermore, the clinical observations indicate that the washing protocol reduces transplant associated hypertension in ASCT patients and is an improvement on the reinfusion of unwashed HSC, which has a significant correlation with increased blood pressure. Consequently, this study has identified a number of circumstances in which a post-thawing washing of HSC autografts is potentially beneficial for the patients. The washing protocol reduces the amount of cellular debris and DMSO reinfused as well as diminishing patient discomfort and therefore should be considered in the event of large volume reinfusions, patient allergies or where hemodilution may exacerbate existing cardiac issues. Furthermore, post-thaw washing of HSC should also be contemplated in the event of unexpected delays between autograft thawing and reinfusion as a strategy for extending the viability of HSC.

description: We report an experimental study of the intermittent dynamics of a gas flowing through a column of a non-Newtonian fluid. In a given range of the imposed constant flow rate, the system spontaneously alternates between two regimes: bubbles emitted at the bottom either rise independently one from the other or merge to create a winding flue which then connects the bottom air entrance to the free surface. The observations are reminiscent of the spontaneous changes in the degassing regime observed on volcanoes and suggest that, in the nature, such a phenomenon is likely to be governed by the non-Newtonian properties of the magma. We focus on the statistical distribution of the lifespans of the bubbling and flue regimes in the intermittent steady state. The bubbling regime exhibits a characteristic time whereas, interestingly, the flue lifespan displays a decaying power-law distribution. The associated exponent, which is significantly smaller than the value 1.5 often reported experimentally and predicted in some standard intermittency scenarios, depends on the fluid properties and can be interpreted as the ratio of two characteristic times of the system.

The production and consumption of the sexually explicit : a painterly exploration into the pornification of culture
Creators: name: Ward, MC
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This research project examines the phenomena of Porni.fication, a term invented to describe the proliferation and commodification of sexually explicit material within contemporary culture. The central proposition has been to produce a unique suite of paintings that respond to pornography's current position within mainstream society. The research was conducted with the aim of pictorially representing the variety of ways individuals engage with pornography, including as a means for sexual arousal, personal expression and as a cultural informer, and seeks to further both the understanding and proliferation of sexually explicit imagery in order to reflect the influence that pornography has on daily contemporary life. The desire to produce this thesis comes from a personal attraction to sexual imagery and an intellectual curiosity as to the positive and negative outcomes of the embrace of pornography that is currently taking place, on many levels, throughout contemporary western culture. Conceptual and formal development of this project is indebted to the work of artists Marcus Harvey, Jasper Goodall, Richard Larter and Eric Fischl. Sexuality and the sexual image lies at the core their respective practices, exploring homemade pornography, porn chic and the crossover between the public and private domains. Theoretical analyses of Pornification, provided by authors Ariel Levy, Catherine Lumby and Susanna Paasonen, were instrumental for understanding how pornography is used in western society and how it has moved from the fringes of culture to its current prominent position. The researching and discussion of these works was critical in providing context for the development of the paintings and establishing where the project sits within the field. Three specific lines of enquiry were pursued. First, porn chic was examined through Generation Y' s embrace and employment of the pornographic aesthetic. Second, an exploration of pornography's infiltration into the mainstream psyche via the domestic environment and last, the production and consumption of pornography was investigated utilizing homemade pornography sourced from the Internet. The works produced in this thesis provide a critical re-presentation of the differing ways we, as a society, engage with the sexually explicit. The outcomes highlight the variety of contexts in which pornography is produced, consumed and commodified across different generations, social structures and technologies. The paintings are produced with the intent of broadening the understanding of how we interact with pornography and how it has become firmly entrenched in our society. In this way they contribute, visually, to the body of knowledge concerning sexually explicit material in western culture.
Anthropogenese. Hunger nach Geburt und Sharing der Gefühle aus Max Schelers Perspektive

description: In this article I develop two arguments, taking Max Scheler’s phenomenology as a starting point. The first one is that emotions are not private and internal states of consciousness, but what makes us come into contact with the expressive dimension of reality, by orienting our placement in the world and our interaction with others. The second thesis is that some emotions have an “anthropogenetic” nature that is at the roots of the ontology of a person and of social ontology: it is through practices of “sharing” certain emotions that the humanity has been born and that the various forms of social realities are established. In accordance with one of María Zambrano’s phrases, I propose to trace these anthropogenetic emotions back to the «hambre de nacer del todo» («hunger for being fully born») of a being that never stops being born again.

description: Fine-grained object detection (FGOD) extends object detection with the capability of fine-grained recognition. In recent two-stage FGOD methods, the region proposal serves as a crucial link between detection and fine-grained recognition. However, current methods overlook that some proposal-related procedures inherited from general detection are not equally suitable for FGOD, limiting the multi-task learning from generation, representation, to utilization. In this paper, we present PETDet (Proposal Enhancement for Two-stage fine-grained object detection) to better handle the sub-tasks in two-stage FGOD methods. Firstly, an anchor-free Quality Oriented Proposal Network (QOPN) is proposed with dynamic label assignment and attention-based decomposition to generate high-quality oriented proposals. Additionally, we present a Bilinear Channel Fusion Network (BCFN) to extract independent and discriminative features of the proposals. Furthermore, we design a novel Adaptive Recognition Loss (ARL) which offers guidance for the R-CNN head to focus on high-quality proposals. Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness of PETDet. Quantitative analysis reveals that PETDet with ResNet50 reaches state-of-the-art performance on various FGOD datasets, including FAIR1M-v1.0 (42.96 AP), FAIR1M-v2.0 (48.81 AP), MAR20 (85.91 AP) and ShipRSImageNet (74.90 AP). The proposed method also achieves superior compatibility between accuracy and inference speed. Our code and models will be released at https://github.com/canoe-Z/PETDet.

Shared Emotions – A Schelerian Approach

Year: 2016
Subjects: Max Scheler; Collective Emotions; We-Mode

description: What does it mean to share or to co-experience an emotion? What makes statements of the form “we feel emotion x together” true?  This paper develops a systematic interpretation of Max Scheler’s theory of co-experiencing (Miteinandererleben), which aims at squaring two contrasting intuitions. According to the first intuition, when several individuals share an emotion, it is one emotion – one experience – that is shared. The second intuition suggests that co-experiencing an emotion preserves self-other differentiation – that is, it preserves a plurality of individual perspectives and, hence, of mental states.
By elaborating on Scheler’s theory, it can be shown that the first intuition concerns the metaphysical structure of the shared emotion, whereas the second intuition is about the way in which the emotion is lived through by the individuals. While, metaphysically, sharing an emotion implies this experience being numerically one, at the phenomenological level the emotion is lived through by the individuals from different perspectives. If this is on the right track, then the Schelerian conceptual framework of co-experiencing proves able to accommodate both intuitions.

Social comparison, situational variation and body image dissatisfaction

description: The role of the influence of the media on adolescent girls' mood and body image was examined from a social psychological perspective. A school-based sample of adolescent girls (age range 12-15 years) was recruited from public and private schools in southern Tasmania. Three separate studies were conducted involving both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Study I measured body image dissatisfaction and mood after media exposure (perusal of a popular girls' magazine) to the thin ideal either in a group context or individually. The main findings suggest a positive effect of mood as a result of group membership. On the basis of these findings, a second study was conducted to examine the factors that make the group situation a more positive experience in relation to mood and body image satisfaction. Results indicated the importance of three variables which may contribute to more positive mood and body image satisfaction. Firstly, when in a group situation girls may be comparing themselves with their peers as well as the media models offering a more realistic source of comparison. Secondly, the group may serve as a distraction as it allowed them to focus on the material and its shortcomings rather than on themselves. Thirdly, reassuring comments made by peers in the group may also be a contributing factor to body satisfaction and mood state. In order to explore the possibility that recommendation was forming groups on the basis of friendship networks a third study was designed in order to address the methodological issues arising in the initial experiment. It continued investigation into the impact of brief exposure to thin ideal body shapes on mood and body satisfaction in adolescent girls. Furthermore study three aimed to explore the influence of group processes on social comparison. As in the first study mood and body satisfaction was assessed at pre and post media exposure. Thin ideal internalization, social comparison and a measure of body mass index were also undertaken post exposure as they have been found to influence the exposure-body image relationship. Despite previous research findings of an effect for short-term exposure to thin ideal media images and body image dissatisfaction and negative mood no significant main effects were found for the primary dependent measures. These findings along with limitations of the study as well as directions for future research are discussed.

description: We introduce a dynamical model to reduce a large cosmological constant to a sufficiently small value. The basic ingredient in this model is a distinction which has been made between the two unit systems used in cosmology and particle physics. We have used a conformal invariant gravitational model to define a particular conformal frame in terms of large scale properties of the universe. It is then argued that the contributions of mass scales in particle physics to the vacuum energy density should be considered in a different conformal frame. In this manner, a decaying mechanism is presented in which the conformal factor appears as a dynamical field and plays a key role to relax a large effective cosmological constant. Moreover, we argue that this model also provides a possible explanation for the coincidence problem.

description: Systematic literature review:A comprehensive literature review was undertaken to explore the experiences of psychological therapy amongst transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) individuals. Two overarching and five subthemes were identified which captured experiences of how gender was overemphasised, ignored or pathologized in therapy. Experiences of therapist identity, approaches to therapeutic work and therapists advocating for gender minorities were also described. The findings suggested that the experiences of TGNC individuals in therapy overlaps with their experiences of healthcare more generally and with the experiences of other oppressed groups. Possible clinical implications were discussed, including the need for therapists to be mindful of issues of power within the therapeutic relationship, and implications for whether and how gender is discussed within therapy.Empirical research project:Numerous theories exist in relation to gender and gender identity, and this has led to different understandings of TGNC identities. This has subsequently meant that different perspectives exist regarding interventions for those seeking care from gender services. Polarised positions in relation to this topic have led to a lack of constructive dialogue and reports of people feeling silenced. The current research project utilised Q-methodology to explore different attitudes towards how gender services should respond when someone presents wishing to transition gender. Three viewpoints were extracted, reflecting affirmation, exploration, and the need for certainty. Potential implications were discussed, namely the hope that in naming these positions, space might be opened up for constructive dialogue to take place between TGNC individuals, families, and healthcare professionals.

Gambling music of the coast Salish Indians

description: Slahal is a gambling game played by North American natives on the North Pacific coast. This activity is of particular interest to the ethnomusicologist because of the large body of songs which not only accompanies but also is intimately linked with it. The thesis which follows is a résumé of research done over the past two and one-half years and deals with the slahal songs of the Coast Salish. I begin with a description of the game itself the object of which is to guess the location of two tokens concealed in the hands of the opponents. We soon learn that gambling music, as one may say about music in general, has a certain power -- the ability to elevate the entire game experience into a different and more exciting realm than that of an ordinary game. The main bulk of the thesis is in the second part where I have presented 77 representative songs out of 194, transcribed from over twelve hours of music. Along with the songs are analyses and comments which are found in summary form in Part III. The concluding section touches upon the significance of slahal in present-day Indian culture.

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.

Freedom of information reform in China : information flow analysis

description: Most non-Chinese scholars have approached Freedom of Information (FOI) in China as a recent, strange and intriguing phenomenon. This thesis uses an array of Chinese sources, interviews with Chinese officials and citizens and information flow analysis to propose a more complex and detailed understanding of the evolution of FOI in China. The thesis argues that information flow, a theme to explore the gradual development of government receptivity to FOI in an information environment through time, can be used as a new explanatory model for FOI reform in a jurisdiction. China serves as an example to substantiate this argument. The origins of China's FOI legislation need to be understood within the context of improved information flow conditions resulting from multifaceted factors, including social, political, legal and economic ones. This improved information flow has constituted an enabling environment for the adoption of FOI legislation. This thesis also argues that it is necessary to reassess the widely divergent origins of FOI reform in China. By applying information flow analysis, the thesis asserts that social, political and legal factors should be accorded central roles in understanding the development of FOI in China. Economic growth and anti-corruption efforts in the process should be allocated important but secondary roles. This thesis uses information flow analysis to find that FOI reform in China formed part of a much longer process of increased transparency in the Chinese information environment, which gradually shifted from the acceptance of proactive disclosure to that of reactive disclosure. FOI thus has become a beneficiary of this gradual transformation of the Chinese information environment. This is the reason China has adopted a push model of FOI legislation stressing proactive disclosure of government information, which differs from many countries that have introduced a pull version of FOI legislation emphasising reactive disclosure through responses to access requests. The thesis maintains that existing compliance analysis focuses heavily on reactive disclosure, and thus is restricted in its application to China. It therefore utilises a revised compliance analysis model that focuses on both proactive and reactive disclosure. The revised model incorporates findings from empirical research conducted in China, allowing a more effective and dynamic analysis of compliance issues in China. Whilst information flow analysis in this thesis is limited in its application to an explanation of China's FOI phenomenon, it may have wider applicability as it is a dynamic and systematic explanatory framework for FOI.
