description: As a model of the current accelerated expansion of the universe, we consider a model of the scalar-Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity. This model includes the propagating scalar modes, which might give a large correction to the Newton law. In order to avoid this problem, we propose an extension of the Chameleon mechanism where the scalar mode becomes massive due to the coupling with the Gauss-Bonnet term. Since the Gauss-Bonnet invariant does not vanish near the earth or in the Solar System, even in the vacuum, the scalar mode is massive even in the vacuum and the correction to the Newton law could be small. We also discuss about the possibility that the model could describe simultaneously the inflation in the early universe, in addition to the current accelerated expansion.

Creep rupture of saturated undisturbed clays
Creators: name: Snead, David Edward
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The stress/strain relationship for most engineering materials is known to be time dependent. This is most evident during a creep test in which continual deformations are observed under constant stress conditions. In the laboratory, a specimen of cohesive soil subjected to a constant shear stress may fail after having deformed alt relatively slow rates for a considerable time. This type of failure, termed creep rupture, is also known to occur in the field. Results of drained and undrained triaxial creep rupture tests are presented in this thesis. These tests were performed on a sensitive marine clay from western Canada which was consolidated to various stress histories. Pore pressure measurements were taken during undrained tests using an electrical transducer. In addition to the creep rupture tests, incremental load and constant strain rate triaxial tests were performed for comparative purposes. The strain rate during a creep rupture test was observed to initially decrease as the specimen strained, reach a transient minimum strain rate, and then increase until rupture. Failure was found to be inevitable whenever the strain rate started to increase after having reached a minimum value. Pore pressures measured during the undrained tests did not reflect the onset of creep rupture at the transient minimum strain rate, and therefore, the onset of creep rupture cannot be explained in terms of effective stresses. A relationship was found to exist between the deviator stress, strain and current strain rate during undrained triaxial tests having the same consolidation history. This relationship permitted the prediction of the results of constant strain rate tests based on the results of creep rupture tests. This resulted in an understanding of the interrelation between the transient minimum strain rate of a creep rupture test and the maximum deviator stress of a constant strain rate test. Once the transient minimum strain rate had been reached, the results of creep rupture tests showed that the strain rate was inversely proportional to the time remaining before rupture. This relationship is independent of stress level, consolidation history and drainage conditions. As a result, it is suggested that measurement of deformations in the field can be used to predict the time until a sudden failure would be anticipated. The upper yield strength, defined as the maximum compressive stress which will not cause a creep rupture failure, was evaluated from both creep rupture and constant strain rate tests. It was found that the compressive strength increased as a linear function of the cube root of the strain rate.

description: This thesis investigates the relationship between climate, agriculture and social change in South Asia's Bronze Age urban Indus Civilisation. Specifically, my research tests the hypothesis that an abrupt weakening of the Indian Summer Monsoon ca 2100 cal BC led to increasing crop water stress, and hence potentially contributed to the Civilisation's decline by reducing food supply. This hypothesis is frequently invoked in discussions of the Civilisation's end, yet until now, has not been empirically tested. Using material excavated from several Indus settlements, this study uses a novel combination of isotopic techniques to directly test the connection between climate change and agricultural stress. These techniques are first, oxygen isotope analysis of faunal bones and teeth; and second, stable carbon isotope analysis of crop remains. The oxygen analyses provide detailed records of monsoon intensity at a local, human scale, while the carbon analyses provide an empirical test of whether crop water stress increased. Applied in parallel across a diverse suite of Indus sites, these techniques together provide an archaeologically and ecologically-nuanced analysis of climatic impacts. The archaeological analyses are supported by a methodological study, which investigates how water status relates to the stable carbon isotope signature in bar- ley (Hordeum vulgare) and the Indian jujube (Ziziphus mauritiana) along a climatic transect in north-western India today. Overall, the isotopic results suggest that at the sites sampled here, climate change probably had minimal impacts on crop water availability. This does not necessarily mean that climate change had no impacts on agriculture across the greater Indus sphere, and indeed there are hints that there may have been climatic stress in more vulnerable settings. However, at the sites studied here, any hydrological consequences of climate change-including the 4.2 ka event-appear to have had neither a lasting nor a pervasive impact on the adequacy of crop water supply. This is an important finding, and necessitates a clear refinement of how we think about climatic sensitivity, climatic vulnerability, and climatic impacts across-and indeed beyond-the greater Indus.

description: Excerpts from the report: Significant changes have occurred in fluid milk processing and merchandising during the past 20 years. We have seen the adoption or increased use of such methods and operations as every-other-day delivery, homogenization, pasteurization, vitamins, and milk vending machines. But the most revolutionary change has come about in the use of paper and multiquart containers--1/2-gallon and gallon--for packaging milk. Increased use of these multiquart containers, which is likely to continue, has been beneficial for both the milk industry and the consumer. With these factors in mind, the Farmer Cooperative Service made a survey in 1957 of all dairy cooperatives distributing fluid milk. The purpose of the survey was to examine many of the aspects regarding the use of multiquart containers by fluid milk distributing associations and to report the findings for the assistance and guidance of these and other milk distributing firms. This report discusses the various practices of the concerns surveyed, some problems associated with using multiquart containers, and opinions of managers regarding these containers.
Renormalization Group Fixed Point with a Fourth Generation: Higgs-induced Bound States and Condensates

description: In the Standard Model with four generations, the two-loop renormalization group equations for the Higgs quartic and Yukawa couplings have a fixed point structure. If the masses of the fourth family are sufficiently heavy, it will contain a natural scale $Λ_{FP}$ in the range of a few TeV to the order of $10^2$ TeV, above which the Higgs quartic and Yukawa couplings become practically constant. We found that around $Λ_{FP}$ the strong Yukawa couplings make it possible for the fourth generation to form bound states, including composite extra Higgs doublets. In this scenario the fourth generation condensates are obtained without introducing Technicolor or other unknown interactions.

description: The decomposition of the Laughlin wave function in the Slater orthogonal basis appears in the discussion on the second-quantized form of the Laughlin states and is straightforwardly equivalent to the decomposition of the even powers of the Vandermonde determinants in the Schur basis. Such a computation is notoriously difficult and the coefficients of the expansion have not yet been interpreted. In our paper, we give an expression of these coefficients in terms of hyperdeterminants of sparse tensors. We use this result to construct an algorithm allowing to compute one coefficient of the development without computing the others. Thanks to a program in {\tt C}, we performed the calculation for the square of the Vandermonde up to an alphabet of eleven lettres.
Dimensionless ratios for surge waves in open canals
Creators: name: Wu, Henry Jaw-Here
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This study investigates the propagation of a surge wave in a power canal following load rejection or reduction. Dimensionless relationships are derived to predict (a) the initial wave height, (b) the variation of the wave height along the canal and (c) the maximum stage of water depth at the downstream end for straight prismatic canals of rectangular, triangular and trapezoidal cross-sections. The effects of various parameters, such as velocity and depth of initial flow, frictional coefficients, bed slope, cross-section of the canal, distance of wave propagation and initial wave height of the surge are studied. A computer program is developed for the calculations required. It is found that, as a positive surge propagates along the canal, the wave height decreases linearly with distance for a short canal, according to an exponential function for a long canal. An approximate logarithmic relationship is also found between the variation of wave height of a positive surge and canal cross-sectional parameters. The variation of water depth at the downstream end of the canal is not linear with respect to time. An almost linear relationship between the maximum water depth at the downstream end of the canal and the length of the canal is noted. The dimensionless relationships derived in this study may be used to establish design criteria for crest elevations of the banks and walls of power canals to avoid overtopping.

description: BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Traditional indirect calorimetry is unable to capture complete gas exchange in patients receiving venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO). We aimed to determine the feasibility of using a modified indirect calorimetry protocol in patients receiving VA ECMO, report measured energy expenditure (EE) and compare EE to control critically ill patients. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Mechanically ventilated adult patients receiving VA ECMO were included. EE was measured within 72 h of VA ECMO commencement (timepoint one [T1]) and on approximately day seven of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission (timepoint two [T2]). Traditional indirect calorimetry via the ventilator was combined with calculations of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production derived from pre- and post-ECMO membrane blood gas analyses. Completion of ≥60% EE measurements was deemed feasible. Measured EE was compared between T1 and T2 and to control patients not receiving VA ECMO. Data is presented as n(%) and median[interquartile range (IQR)]. RESULTS: Twenty-one patients were recruited; 16(76%) male, aged 55[42–64] years. The protocol was feasible to complete at T1 (14(67%)) but not at T2 (7(33%)) due to predominantly ECMO decannulation, extubation or death. EE was 1454[1213–1860] at T1 and 1657[1570–2074] kcal/d at T2 (P = 0.043). In patients receiving VA ECMO versus controls, EE was 1577[1434–1801] versus 2092[1609–2272] kcal/d, respectively (P = 0.056). CONCLUSION: Modified indirect calorimetry is feasible early in admission to ICU but is not possible in all patients receiving VA ECMO, especially later in admission. EE increases during the first week of ICU admission but may be lower than EE in control critically ill patients.

 Distribution. USA: IN, KY, OH, TN (DeWalt et al. 2018)
 Remarks. Males and females of P. adena have a dark head mask (Figs. 1a‒1f) that is superficially similar to P. xube (Figs. 2a‒2e), but easily distinguished from sympatric populations of P. armitagei sp. nov. from Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio (Figs. 6a‒6f). Published line drawings of the aedeagi of P. adena (Stark 1989, his Fig. 76, Stark 2004, his Figs. 273‒274) and P. xube (Stark and Rhodes 1997, their Fig. 6, Stark 2004, his Figs. 370‒371) make it easy to differentiate between males of these two species.
 Females of P. adena and P. xube are difficult to separate due to subtle characteristics of their subgenital plates (Stark 2004). Eggs are likewise superficially too similar in appearance even with SEM to differentiate to species (Stark 2004, his Fig. 7.400 for P. adena and Fig. 7.404 for P. xube).
 Perlesta adena and P. xube overlap in distribution mainly in Ohio (Fig. 11a). Perlesta adena is distributed in the lower Ohio River, Cumberland River, and Tennessee River basins plus a few Lake Erie drainages in northern Ohio (Fig. 11a).

description: Excerpts from the report: Grading cottonseed at oil mills generally results in ginners receiving more equitable prices on seed and larger margins. Gains or losses in gin purchase weights of cottonseed as compared with sale weights also directly affect the ginner's margin, as well as dollar returns to individual growers. These findings, in general, have been recognized by the ginning and crushing industry, if not by the cotton farmer. Very little information, however, has been available regarding the extent of their importance. This study was made to supply such information as well as to better determine actual gin margins on seed. The main purpose of this study was to obtain specific information regarding premiums and discounts on graded seed and gains and losses on purchase weights to determine more accurately the total margin realized by ginners on cottonseed.

description: We show that any analytic $f(R)$-gravity model, in the metric approach, presents a weak field limit where the standard Newtonian potential is corrected by a Yukawa-like term. This general result has never been pointed out but often derived for some particular theories. This means that only $f(R)=R$ allows to recover the standard Newton potential while this is not the case for other relativistic theories of gravity. Some considerations on the physical consequences of such a general solution are addressed.

description: This thesis uses Historic Geographic Information Systems (HGIS) to uncover the continuing and new patterns of land use in colonial Van Diemen’s Land to 1835. In 1817 free settlers were frst encouraged to emigrate to the colony of Van Diemen’s Land. They brought with them substantial assets, as well as ideals of British agriculture, and the following years saw a massive transformation of the island’s landscape. By the 1820s many visitors assumed these new agriculturalists were aspiring to recreate Britain, and praised what they saw as the early stages of this. They dismissed the work of the former convicts on their much smaller grants, and ignored the thousands of years of land management conducted by the Tasmanian Aboriginal people. In fact, as much as the settlers sought to reshape the landscape, they themselves were reshaped by it. Their aspirations were only possible because of the work of their predecessors. By placing land grants and sales data into an HGIS, this thesis reconstructs the sequence of European settlement in three regions of the island: New Norfolk, Bothwell and through the Midlands. These case studies are used to argue the existence of two primary European settlement patterns. The frst is riverine intensive, a pattern based on European and settlercolonial precedent. The domain of emancipist grantees, the name refects the signifcance of waterways in shaping the early colony. This pattern gave way to the open extensive in the early-1820s, as the colony’s economy shifted to fne wool exports and the settlers required larger acreages. This thesis argues that both of these patterns were reliant on the Aboriginal mosaic patterns, as the settlers were drawn to areas kept clear with fre-stick farming. Settlers in the open extensive stage were particularly drawn to the large ‘plains’, and their land-use represented a drastic departure from accepted British methods. Nonetheless, the riverine intensive settlers also benefted from cleared lands. By combining the settlement pattern parameters with environmental data and settlement sequences, this thesis argues that it is possible to uncover details of the pre-European landscape that were not recorded before it was irrevocably altered by the arrival of large-scale pastoral pursuits. Connecting land records to colonial survey charts also enables this thesis to measure the extent to which acreages were over- or under-measured. Using these fndings, it analyses allegations of corruptions that were frequently levelled against the colonial surveyors. Their work is critiqued within the context of surveyor work-load, changing settler and governmental priorities, and the rise of the Black War.

description: The inhomogeneous cosmological reionization process leaves tangible imprints in the intergalactic medium down to z=4-5. The Lyman-alpha forest flux power spectrum provides a potentially powerful probe of the epoch of reionization. With the existing SDSS I/II quasar sample we show that two cosmological reionization scenarios, one completing reionization at z=6 and the other at z=9, can be distinguished at ~7 sigma level by utilizing Lyman alpha forest absorption spectra at z=4.5+-0.5, in the absence of other physical processes that may also affect the Lyman alpha flux power spectrum. The redshift range z=4-5 may provide the best window, because there is still enough transmitted flux and quasars to measure precise statistics of the flux fluctuations, and the IGM still retains a significant amount of memory of reionization.

description: Passivization played a central role in shaping both linguistic theory and psycholinguistic approaches to sentence processing, language acquisition and impairment. We present the results of two experiments that simultaneously test online processing (self-paced reading) and offline comprehension (through comprehension questions) of passives in German while also manipulating the event structure of the predicates used. In contrast to English, German passives are unambiguously verbal, allowing for the study of passivization independent of a confound in the degree of interpretive ambiguity (verbal/adjectival). In English, this ambiguity interacts with event structure, with passives of stative predicates naturally receiving an adjectival interpretation. In a recent study, Paolazzi et al. (2015, 2016) showed that in contrast to the mainstream theoretical perspective, passive sentences are not inherently harder to process than actives. Complexity of passivization in English is tied to the aspectual class of the verbal predicate passivized: with eventive predicates, passives are read faster (as hinted at in previous literature) and generate no comprehension difficulties (in contrast to previous findings with mixed predicates). Complexity effects with passivization, in turn, are only found with stative predicates. The asymmetry is claimed to stem from the temporary adjectival/verbal ambiguity of stative passives in English. We predict that the observed difficulty with English stative passives disappears in German, given that in this language the passive construction under investigation is unambiguously verbal. The results support this prediction: both offline and online there was no difficulty with passivization, under either eventive or stative predicates. In fact, passives and their rich morphology eased parsing across both types of predicates.

description: In aquaria, biofilters are used to prevent the accumulation of ammonia by fostering communities of nitrifying microbes, including ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA), ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB), and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB). Previous studies have shown that aquarium biofilters are usually dominated by AOA rather than AOB, but have not yet fully characterized the microbial communities living in those biofilters. In this study, we analyze the microbial communities within the Fluidized Bed (FB) biofilter systems at the Monterey Bay Aquarium (MBA) and investigate how those communities change over time and are influenced by the microbial community of Monterey Bay, which directly supplies seawater to the aquarium. We focus on the dynamics of nitrifier communities, AOA in particular, to investigate which microbes are most important to the biofilter’s function. Using high throughput sequencing of the archaeal and bacterial 16S rRNA gene, we investigated the microbial communities in water and sand samples for the FB systems at MBA over a 3 month period, during the establishment of a new FB. FB samples were compared to microbial communities associated with Filter 1 (F1), the biofilter treating incoming water from Monterey Bay. Further analysis of AOA abundance was conducted using quantitative PCR (qPCR). We found that the FBs had a distinct microbial community from F1 and that the microbial communities in FB sand samples were more stable over time than those in the FB water samples. When it comes to nitrifiers, the FBs were dominated by AOA and NOB, and their populations remained stable over time in sand samples. Of the AOA in the FBs, 99% came from a single operational taxonomic unit (OTU2) with close phylogenetic affiliation to AOA from Monterey Bay. Overall, this study supports previous findings about AOA dominance in aquarium biofilters, and represents the first in-depth characterization of the microbial community in a MBA biofilter.

description: Finite element method involving rectangular bar cells capable of imitating elastic action in plane stress and flexure of plates with any value of the Poisson's ratio, is extended to investigation of stability of rectangular plates. This requires formulation of the stability matrix used for solution of the eigenvalue problem, which gives the magnitude of the critical load. Four different examples are solved and the results, compared with the exact values and the available no bar solutions, are found to be good. A brief study is also made of the effect of negative extensional and flexural stiffnesses of the members of the cell and suggestion is made on selection of the desirable range for the values of the aspects ratio of the cell as related to the values of µ.

 Distribution. USA: IA, IL, ND, NE, OH (DeWalt et al. 2018), IN (new state record)
 Remarks. The head masks of males and females of P. xube (Figs. 2a‒2e) are readily distinguished from P. armitagei sp. nov. (Figs. 6a‒6h) and P. cinctipes (Figs. 5a‒5d). The specimens (all males) determined as P. cinctipes in Stark (2004) were not of P. armitagei sp. nov. but of P. xube. Males of P. xube and P. cinctipes key to couplet 6 in Stark (2004). This couplet focuses on whether the dorsal patch is “wider at apex than at base” (P. xube, Stark 2004, his Fig. 7.370‒7.371) or “narrow throughout most of length” (P. cinctipes, Stark 2004, his Fig. 7.300). Perlesta cinctipes is one of few Perlesta species where the fully-extruded male aedeagus has yet to be illustrated with a line drawing or SEM. The length of the sac is not fully understood, whether in relation to the length of the tube or length and shape of the caecum. An additional aedeagal characteristic is useful in differentiating between these two species. The dorsal patch of P. xube is expanded at the base and body of the caecum but not apically (Stark & Rhodes 1997, their Fig. 6; Stark 2004, his Figs. 7.370‒7.371). The dorsal patch of P. cinctipes, however, expands well onto the caecum (Stark 2004, his Fig. 7.299).
 Females of P. xube can be easily differentiated from P. cinctipes using Stark (2004) and from P. armitagei sp. nov. here with subgenital plate characteristics. Eggs of P. xube (Stark & Rhodes 1997, their Fig. 8, Stark 2004, his Fig. 7.404) are also distinct from both P. cinctipes (Stark 1989, his Fig. 17, Stark 2004, his Fig. 7.394‒7.395) and P. armitagei sp. nov. (Figs. 10a‒10d).
 Perlesta xube overlaps in distribution with P. armitagei sp. nov. from southern Indiana east to Ohio and with P. cinctipes to date only in southern Iowa (Figs. 11a‒11b).

Additionally, the number of maximum parts in the descending plane partition corresponds to the position of the one in the last column of the permutation matrix. We also discuss the possible extension of this approach to finding a bijection between descending plane partitions and alternating sign matrices.

description: We consider properties of the operators D(r,M)=a^r(a^†a)^M (which we call generalized Laguerre-type derivatives), with r=1,2,..., M=0,1,..., where a and a^†are boson annihilation and creation operators respectively, satisfying [a,a^†]=1. We obtain explicit formulas for the normally ordered form of arbitrary Taylor-expandable functions of D(r,M) with the help of an operator relation which generalizes the Dobinski formula. Coherent state expectation values of certain operator functions of D(r,M) turn out to be generating functions of combinatorial numbers. In many cases the corresponding combinatorial structures can be explicitly identified.

description: We introduce the no-core full configuration (NCFC) approach and present results for $^4$He, $^{12}$C and $^{14}$F with the realistic NN interaction, JISP16. We obtain ground state energies and their uncertainties through exponential extrapolations that we demonstrate are reliable in $^4$He where fully converged results are obtained. We find $^{12}$C is overbound by 1.7 MeV and we predict the yet-to-be-measured binding energy of $^{14}$F to be $70.2\pm 3.5$ MeV. The extrapolated spectrum of $^{14}$F is in reasonable agreement with known features of the $^{14}$B spectrum.

description: We report room temperature lasing in ZnO inverse opal photonic crystals in the near-ultraviolet (UV) frequency. We observe random lasing due to disorder in the structures when the photonic pseudogaps are located away from the ZnO gain spectrum. Tuning the first $ΓL$-pseudogap to the gain peak leads to a five-fold reduction in lasing threshold and frequency shift of lasing modes due to the enhanced confinement of light.

Encounters with sustainability in Tasmania: An interpretive inquiry
Creators: name: Beasy, Kim
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023
Subjects: Continuing and community education
Social geography
Hermeneutics

description: Critical discourses of sustainability challenge modern rhetoric of economic growth and challenge current modes of social development. Yet sustainability discourses are shaped predominantly by the perspectives and interests of middle class, tertiary educated, urban policy makers or environmentalists and have insufficiently engaged people beyond these cohorts, even in the advanced-capitalist societies where they have originated. In this study, I investigate how people who are not strongly engaged with sustainability discourses understand and engage with many of the underlying concerns that animate these discourses from the context of their situated, everyday experiences. I draw upon Pierre Bourdieu’s concepts of habitus, field, and capital to design a qualitative study in Tasmania, Australia to explore how situated knowledges inform interpretations of sustainability across diverse social locations. The inquiry engages people from a range of socio-economic and cultural backgrounds and life stages, using focus groups and semi-structured interviews. I investigate how particular located subjectivities inform interpretations and practices relating to what it means to aspire to and live sustainably. Focusing on spatial practices, I show that necessities for daily living look different in diverse social contexts, thereby influencing what represents sustainable living. Focusing on temporal practices, I show how future-oriented perspectives influence how and when diverse understandings of sustainability are enacted. The findings provide insight into the ways in which people who are disengaged from discourses of sustainability may be actively engaged in practices of sustainability. The findings also provide practical guidance for environmentalists and policy makers concerning how current discourses of sustainability reflect specific social contexts and experiences. Greater understanding of the effects of universalist accounts of sustainability, in particular social contexts, may enable advocates of sustainability to engage more effectively with others living outside urban, middle class social worlds.
Optimal operation of an upstream reservoir for flood control
Creators: name: Johnson, Wayne Adrian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis describes the development of a method for determining the most efficient way to operate an upstream flood control reservoir for maximum flood peak reduction at a downstream point. Linear programming is used as the optimization technique. A simplified case is studied, namely that of a single storage reservoir approximately 500 miles upstream from the area to be protected. A channel routing method which was linear was required for use with linear programming. For this reason a Muskingum type channel routing method was chosen. The results for the three years that were studied are presented in graphical form. They indicate the extent that the downstream peak could be reduced and the operation of the upstream reservoir which would be required to bring about this reduction in peak flow. Procedures for extending the technique to more complex systems and possible applications of the method are discussed.
Globally and locally supersymmetric effective theories for light fields

description: We reconsider the general question of how to characterize most efficiently the low-energy effective theory obtained by integrating out heavy modes in globally and locally supersymmetric theories. We consider theories with chiral and vector multiplets and identify the conditions under which an approximately supersymmetric low-energy effective theory can exist. These conditions translate into the requirements that all the derivatives, fermions and auxiliary fields should be small in units of the heavy mass scale. They apply not only to the matter sector, but also to the gravitational one if present, and imply in that case that the gravitino mass should be small. We then show how to determine the unique exactly supersymmetric theory that approximates this effective theory at the lowest order in the counting of derivatives, fermions and auxiliary fields, by working both at the superfield level and with component fields. As a result we give a simple prescription for integrating out heavy superfields in an algebraic and manifestly supersymmetric way, which turns out to hold in the same form both for globally and locally supersymmetric theories, meaning that the process of integrating out heavy modes commutes with the process of switching on gravity. More precisely, for heavy chiral and vector multiplets one has to impose respectively stationarity of the superpotential and the Kahler potential.

Reparameterisation Invariance and RG equations: Extension of the Local Potential Approximation

Year: 2009

description: Equations related to the Polchinski version of the exact renormalisation group equations for scalar fields which extend the local potential approximation to first order in a derivative expansion, and which maintain reparameterisation invariance, are postulated. Reparameterisation invariance ensures that the equations determine the anomalous dimension eta unambiguously and the equations are such that the result is exact to O(epsilon^2) in an epsilon-expansion for any multi-critical fixed point. It is also straightforward to determine eta numerically. When the dimension d=3 numerical results for a wide range of critical exponents are obtained in theories with O(N) symmetry, for various N and for a ranges of eta, are obtained within the local potential approximation. The associated eta, which follow from the derivative approximation described here, are found for various N. The large N limit of the equations is also analysed. A corresponding discussion is also given in a perturbative RG framework and scaling dimensions for derivative operators are calculated to first order in epsilon.
