Ecophysiology and competitive ability of Anabaena circinalis, a bloom-forming cyanobacterium
Creators: name: McCausland, Malcolm Andrew
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Blooms of the toxic cyanobacterium A. circinalis are a major problem in Australia. Further knowledge of this species and its competitors is of great importance to understand how the incidence of such blooms may be reduced. Experiments undertaken at a range of scales, from culture tubes to lm high microcosms examined the role of (1) light and mixing, (2) nitrogen type and availability and (3) pH and carbon availability in the dynamics of A. circinalis and its competitors - the diatom Aulacoseira sp. and the cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa. In single species (A. circinalis, Aulacoseira sp.) microcosm experiments with vertically attenuated light environments, the growth of A. circinalis was significantly higher at 48 h mixing intervals than at 10 min intervals at the highest vertical light attenuation tested (k(0.3 = 9.7, Zm :Zeu= 6.25). The difference in growth was due to a combination of light availability and the physiological responses to it (i.e. increased buoyancy). This enabled A. circinalis greater access to light at the longer mixing interval. The contrary was true of Aulacoseira sp. which had significantly slower growth in all light environments at 48 h mixing intervals relative to 10 min intervals. Aulacoseira sp. had lowered access to light due to its high sinking rate. In competition experiments, A. circinalis dominated over Aulacoseira sp. at 48 h and 96 h mixing intervals, however both species co-existed at 10 min intervals. In combined species microcosm experiments (A. circinalis, Aulacoseira sp., Microcystis aeruginosa), there was no difference in species composition when N was supplied as nitrate or ammonium. Where no DIN was supplied, A. circinalis quickly gained dominance. An initial reduction in growth in the non-N2-fixing species (Aulacoseira sp., M. aeruginosa), was followed by a substantial increase. The results suggest the increase in growth was indirectly supported by N leaked into the medium by A. circinalis. In sealed culture experiments, growth rates of A. circinalis did not differ across a broad pH range (7.5 to 9.1). In comparison Aulacoseira sp. had significantly lower growth at high pH (9.0-9.1) relative to low pH (7.5-7.7). Evidence from ˜í¬•13C measurements strongly suggests that both species utilise bicarbonate at high pH, however the difference in growth rate suggests that Aulacoseira sp. is less efficient in utilising carbon via this pathway. All results are discussed in the context of the Australian environment. It is concluded that mixing and light, nitrogen and carbon availability are all potentially significant factors in the formation and/or maintenance of A. circinalis blooms.

description: Using time domain measurements, we assess the feasibility of time-reversal technique in ultra-wideband (UWB) communication. A typical indoor propagation channel is selected for the exploration. The channel response between receive and transmit antenna pairs is measured using time domain equipments which include an arbitrary wave generator (AWG) and a digital storage oscilloscope (DSO). The time-reversed version of the channel response is constructed with AWG and re-transmitted in the channel. The equivalent time reversed channel response is recorded. The properties of the time reversal technique in the line of sight (LOS) co-polar and cross-polar scenarios are measured.

description: We study self-trapped localized nonlinear states in the form of truncated Bloch waves in one-dimensional optical lattices, which appear in the gaps of the linear bandgap spectrum. We demonstrate the existence of families of such localized states which differ by the number of intensity peaks. These families do not bifurcate from the band edge, and their power curves exhibit double branches. Linear stability analysis demonstrates that in deep lattice potentials the states corresponding to the lower branches are stable, whereas those corresponding to the upper branches are unstable, independently of the number of peaks.

Feature selection when there are many influential features

description: Recent discussion of the success of feature selection methods has argued that focusing on a relatively small number of features has been counterproductive. Instead, it is suggested, the number of significant features can be in the thousands or tens of thousands, rather than (as is commonly supposed at present) approximately in the range from five to fifty. This change, in orders of magnitude, in the number of influential features, necessitates alterations to the way in which we choose features and to the manner in which the success of feature selection is assessed. In this paper, we suggest a general approach that is suited to cases where the number of relevant features is very large, and we consider particular versions of the approach in detail. We propose ways of measuring performance, and we study both theoretical and numerical properties of the proposed methodology.

description: In this paper, a novel cascade reaction of caesium carbonate-promoted Michael addition and lactonization for the one-pot synthesis of 3-alkyl-3-N-substituted aminobenzofuran-2(3H)-one derivatives has been established based on the screening of the alkaline catalysts and optimization of reaction conditions, in which the N-substituted (ortho-hydroxy) aryl glycine esters were used as the Michael donors to react with different α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. Besides racemic enantiomers, the obtained epimers were successfully separated by conventional chromatography in the case of using the asymmetric raw material. In addition, the possible reaction mechanisms were suggested and the absolute configuration of the epimer was analysed. All the chemical structures of unreported benzofuran- 2(3H)-one derivatives were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectra and HRMS spectra.

description: We extend our previous work on Inductive Conformal Prediction (ICP) for multi-label text classification and present a novel approach for addressing the computational inefficiency of the Label Powerset (LP) ICP, arrising when dealing with a high number of unique labels. We present experimental results using the original and the proposed efficient LP-ICP on two English and one Czech language data-sets. Specifically, we apply the LP-ICP on three deep Artificial Neural Network (ANN) classifiers of two types: one based on contextualised (bert) and two on non-contextualised (word2vec) word-embeddings. In the LP-ICP setting we assign nonconformity scores to label-sets from which the corresponding p-values and prediction-sets are determined. Our approach deals with the increased computational burden of LP by eliminating from consideration a significant number of label-sets that will surely have p-values below the specified significance level. This reduces dramatically the computational complexity of the approach while fully respecting the standard CP guarantees. Our experimental results show that the contextualised-based classifier surpasses the non-contextualised-based ones and obtains state-of-the-art performance for all data-sets examined. The good performance of the underlying classifiers is carried on to their ICP counterparts without any significant accuracy loss, but with the added benefits of ICP, i.e. the confidence information encapsulated in the prediction sets. We experimentally demonstrate that the resulting prediction sets can be tight enough to be practically useful even though the set of all possible label-sets contains more than $1e+16$ combinations. Additionally, the empirical error rates of the obtained prediction-sets confirm that our outputs are well-calibrated.

description: Unstable modes growing when two plasma shells cross over a background plasma at arbitrary angle $θ$, are investigated using a non-relativistic three cold fluids model. Parallel flows with $θ=0$ are slightly more unstable than anti-parallel ones with $θ=π$. The case $θ=π/2$ is as unstable as the $θ=0$ one, but the fastest growing modes are oblique. While the most unstable wave vector varies with orientation, its growth rate slightly evolves and there is no such thing as a stable configuration. A number of exact results can be derived, especially for the $θ=π/2$ case.

Design of sub level caving method by means of mine model tests
Creators: name: Sarin, Devinder Kumar
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Design criteria of the Longitudinal Sub-Level Caving method of mining, as it would particularly apply to Granduc Mines, has been studied by means of geometrically scaled mine models. Principles of similarity and their use in the model test work with due consideration to the simplifying assumptions have been analysed. Gravity flow theories of granular material as applicable to the bin design work have been used where possible in the stope design. A total of thirty-seven tests on a 1:30 scale model were conducted involving various orebody configurations. Qualitative observations are reported and the effects that will have to be dealt with by theoretical treatment are described. Within reasonable experimental accuracy, the draw figures of the flow of broken ore material in the model are determined. Based on these figures, mine layout patterns which would ensure maximum ore recovery with minimum waste dilution from the stopes have been presented for the mine development work. Quantitative design of ‘blast retreat distance’ depending on change in natural conditions of the stope, such as moisture content and confining pressures, etc. have been determined by measuring the flow properties of the ore material with Triaxial compression testing equipment. A remarkable change in the flow properties and hence the draw configuration is predicted. Recommendations on further and advanced work are included on the quantitative design of stoping layouts for the modern sub-level caving methods

Il problema dell’orientamento nella soci età liquida: autotrascendimento e aver cura come eserci zio di trasformazione

description: The problem of the orientation in the liquid society. Self-transcending and having care as exercise of transformation.

Lyotard’s thesis of «économie libidinale» proposes to resolve the problem of the orientation through an unlimited extension of the pleasure. Whatever limits the pleasure would be only a moralistic fabulation. This model does contrast with the ascetic capitalism of the first modernity, but not with the capitalism of the second modernity represented by the broker Gordon Gekko in the 1987 film Wall Street. This paper tries to show that the sentiment and the pleasure aren’t a negativity to repress but are a positivity to be taken care and to be formed. The pleasure, which is positive in itself, degenerates in negativity and in depression if there is no care – care in the sense proposed by Pierre Hadot. One type of limitation of the pleasure which doesn’t follow the logic of repression is present in the erotic phenomenon. The eroticism is based on the momentary postponement of the pleasure. In not satisfying automatically the need with the first available form of pleasure a man has the possibility to choose what is more important for him and in this way to experience his own desire and to become conscious of himself. To exercise the function of preferring means for an individual not to suffer blindly the logic of the need, but to humanize and to singularize the pleasure, i.e. to form his own desire. By forming his own desire the individual forms himself. The theme dealt with in the ancient philosophy, under the concept of epimeleia heautou can be interpreted in this perspective as the care of the desire, which is directed toward a transformation of the individual, toward a second birth. This care requests an act of self-transcending, distancing critically oneself from the own self, a push given by the otherness. I propose to call an otherness of this kind with the name of «exemplarity». The exemplarity doesn’t refer to a form of authoritarian verticality – as the models of social success do – but implies a form of horizontality that expresses solidarity. The representation of this form of orientation isn’t the ladder to the paradise of Climachus, but, if anything, the breaking wave of Hokusai.

Sign change of surface energy and stability of composite vortex in two-component superconductivity

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Existence of thermodynamically stable composite vortices in a two-component superconductor may form distinctive vortex patterns, and may lead to type-1.5 superconductivity. Here we study the surface energy of the two-component superconductor and show that the sign of surface energy is determined not only by the Ginzburg-Landau parameters $κ_i (i=1,2)$ of two superconducting components, but also by a temperature independent parameter $κ_ξ$, which is defined as the ratio of the coherence lengths of two components. Since the negative surface energy conduces to the invasion of thermodynamically stable composite vortices into a superconductor, the criterions for stability of composite vortex are these three independent dimensionless parameters. We find that there can exist thermodynamically stable composite vortex in a type-1+type-2 or type-2+type-2 material. We also predict that unusual vortex patterns like those observed in $MgB_2$ (V. Moshchalkov et al, Phys. Rev. Lett., 102, 117001 (2009)) can occur in some type-2+type-2 superconductors.

description: The influence of a magnetic field applied perpendicularly to the plane of a quasi two dimensional, low density classical Coulomb gas, with interparticle potential U of r as 1 over r, is studied using momentum conserving dissipative particle dynamics simulations. The self diffusion and structure of the gas are studied as functions of temperature and strength of the magnetic field. It is found that the gas undergoes a topological phase transition when the temperature is varied, in accord with the Bohr van Leeuwen BvL theorem, the structural properties being unaffected, resembling those of the strictly two dimensional Kosterlitz Thouless transition, with U of r as varying as ln r. Consistent with the BvL theorem, the transition temperature and the melting process of the condensed phase are unchanged by the field. Conversely, the self diffusion coefficient of the gas is strongly reduced by the magnetic field. At the largest values of the cyclotron frequency, the self diffusion coefficient is inversely proportional to the applied magnetic field. The implications of these results are discussed.

MultiML: a method to predict optimal sample size in multi-omics data analyses using machine learning
Creators: name: Balzano-Nogueira, Leandro

Publisher: name: F1000 Research Limited

description: Multi-omics methods are applied in clinical fields to find biomarkers or modeling biology. Conducting many in-parallel-assays is expensive and when developing a classifier, it’s necessary to establish an optimal number of observations for predictive power. Nowadays, no methodology exists to estimate neither sample-size (SS) for omics-classification-problems nor for multi-omics-scenario. We introduce MultiML, a machine-learning-algorithm to estimate SS in multi-omics-experiments to achieve a given classification-error-rate (CER). MultiML takes a multi-omics pilot and runs a simulation using the user-desired machine-learning-algorithm (default-implementation contains PLS-DA and Random Forest) to estimate the minimum SS required to keep CER below a desired threshold. MultiML draws subsamples of different SS, obtains the classifier-for-case and measures ER to adjust a first-order-smoothed-penalized P-spline-regression to predict ER for larger SS. This is done for multi-omics-platforms, to determine the best combinations. MultiML also provides the applied-method and the SS required to reach a user-given-ER. We applied MultiML to TCGA-Glioblastoma-dataset containing gene-expression, DNA-methylation, proteomics, RNAseq and miRNAseq from 515 individuals with different cancer-subtypes. Tests were performed with a CER=0.01, considering combinations from 2 to 5 omics. MultiML found that more omics reduce ER, but some (methylation) penalize the predictor performance. MultiML demonstrated to be a powerful estimator of SS required to keep acceptable-limits-ER.
Behavioural mechanisms of population regulation in the limpet, Acmaea digitalis
Creators: name: Breen, Paul Allan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Two hypotheses that described possible mechanisms of population regulation in Acmaea digitalis were examined in this study. The first hypothesis stated that local populations could be regulated by means of changes in the homing behaviour of individual limpets. These changes would occur as a result of feedback from density changes. Results from experiments which tested this hypothesis were inconclusive. The second hypothesis stated that local populations could be regulated by means of upward migration of limpets if such migration were density dependent; and that mortality during summer would also act in a density dependent way. This hypothesis was substantiated experimentally, although it was not shown that the mechanism does indeed regulate local populations. Possible explanations of homing and migration behaviour are presented and discussed.

Training innovation in Taiwanese maritime education and training : concerns, expectancy and professionalism
Creators: name: Hu, JSJ
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis investigates the domain of educators' concerns on maritime education and training innovation from various higher-education levels in maritime institutes. The study focuses on Taiwan, the revolution in international standards of competency for seafarers' Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) and its relationship to seafaring learning standards, trai!).ing outcomes and educators' professional standards. The main purpose of this study is a \Stages of Concern\" analysis of maritime educators to determine their attitudes and concerns when a new innovation initiative has to be confronted. In addition the study seeks to determine whether the factors of professionalism and expectancy values can influence maritime educators' stages of concern about the STCW innovation. The established theoretical model takes their seven stages of concern as dependent variables while their professionalism expectancy and demographics are treated as independent variables. It is tested with the aid of survey data from a Stages of Concern Questionnaire administered to the population of maritime educators from three different levels of Taiwanese academic institutes. The SPSS software package for determination of educators' concerns including descriptive correlational and inferential statistics and multivariate analysis of variance procedures is used to perform the data analysis. The results verify that an educator's concerns are an important component in the STCW reform implementation process. More specially the maritime educators in Taiwan express high concerns at the self and impact stages and lower concerns at the awareness and management stages. This indicates that their attentions are shifted to organize and implement the reform efficiently and in addition use the relevance of the reform to increase students' performances. However their concerns appear to reflect the strategies of the reform process rather than the outcomes and achievements of the students. Further the factors of professionalism and expectancy values are undoubtedly related to educators' stages of concern in the reform. The high expectancy value rating scales are at the impact stage which reflect that these educators are confident with their competencies to implement the reform and will devote their reform-related attitudes and efforts to help the students achieve the required criteria. The professionalism rating scales are also high at the impact stage which prove that the positively professional ethics perceptions and performances of the educators will yield a positive reform outcome. However expectancy values and professionalism are not statistically significant predictors of Stages of Concern. It reveals that the impetus to the reform mostly derives from the external sources. The satisfaction of the expectations received from the reform consequences is still not mature."

With this objective we construct a system of non-linear differential equations, whose solutions depend on the explicit form assumed for the function $F(R)=\frac{df(R)}{dR}$. We explicit show that for specific classes of this function exact solutions from the field equations are obtained; also we find approximated results for the metric tensor for more general cases admitting $F(R)$ close to the unity.

description: Kepler mission will provide a huge amount of asteroseismic data during the next few years, among which hundreds of solar-like stars will be targeted. The amount of stars and their observation length represent a step forward in the comprehension of the stellar evolution that has already been initiated by CoRoT and MOST missions. Up to now, the slow cadence of observed targets allowed an individual and personalized analysis of each star. During the survey phase of Kepler, this will be impossible. This is the reason why, within the AsteroFLAG team, we have been developing automatic pipelines for the Kepler solar-like oscillation stars. Our code starts by finding the frequency-range where p-mode power is present and, after fitting the background, it looks for the mode amplitudes as well as the central frequency of the p-mode hump. A good estimation of the large separation can thus be inferred in this region. If the signal to noise is high enough, the code obtains the characteristics of the p modes by doing a global fitting on the power spectrum. Here, we will first describe a few features of this pipeline and its application to AsteroFLAG synthetic data to check the validity of the code.

A curriculum for developing creative thinking skills in engineering students
Creators: name: Lawrence, Norman
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The Institution of Engineers, Australia produced a report in 1993, which contained a set of National Competency Standards designed to act as a benchmark for identifying the overall balance of knowledge, skills, judgement, ethical standards and experience required by Professional Engineers. In that report it was recommended that engineers should undertake professional development in lateral analysis and creative thinking skills. This dissertation examines the main themes in the creative thinking literature with a particular interest in the information relating to left and right brain thinking skills and how mental blocks can inhibit creative thinking from occurring. Visual thinking skills are examined. The dissertation outlines the development of a curriculum to introduce first year undergraduate engineering students to a variety of creative thinking skills. A representative set of teaching material is presented for each of the six topics contained in the curriculum. The curriculum has been designed to provide students with a set of learning experiences that will help them to personalise the knowledge. The curriculum has not yet been presented to students but it has been very favourably commented on by the nine professional colleagues from the field of education who evaluated the curriculum. Recommendations are presented for initially implementing the curriculum with a group of volunteer students. This would be a valuable part in the process of formative evaluation of the curriculum and be a help in improving the fidelity between the written and taught curriculum.
Alle radici della cura

description: At the roots of care

The paper aims to 1) demonstrate the ontological primacy of care and 2) distinguish the different modalities in which this phenomenon manifests itself in our life.

A phenomenological analysis of the human condition reveals that we are lacking of being, without any permanent sovereignty over our becoming, but at the same time we have the responsibility to realize our existential possibilities. This paradox is connected with the evidence that our being is constitutively relational: our flourishing takes place only in the relationship with other people, even if the need of the others makes us vulnerable. Because the human being is ontologically incomplete, care is a necessity for human life. Caring for the existence manifests itself through three different modalities: a) first, it is the concern to get what allows us to conserve our lives (merimna); b) second, it is the answer to the need of transcendence allowing us to live with purpose (epimeleia); c) third, it is the cure that heals the wounds of our body and soul (therapeia).

In conclusion, we can say that the phenomenon of care, in its essence, responds to a vital necessity, which also includes an ontogenetic, an ethical and a therapeutic necessity.

The paper examines some authors of the 20th century, such as Stein, Weil, Winnicott, Arendt, Heidegger, Zambrano, Lévinas and Murdoch, and also comes back to the classical literature, especially the Platonic dialogues. Contemporary authors mentioned are Carse, Nancy and Pulcini.

Verhulst model with Levy white noise excitation

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: The transient dynamics of the Verhulst model perturbed by arbitrary non-Gaussian white noise is investigated. Based on the infinitely divisible distribution of the Levy process we study the nonlinear relaxation of the population density for three cases of white non-Gaussian noise: (i) shot noise, (ii) noise with a probability density of increments expressed in terms of Gamma function, and (iii) Cauchy stable noise. We obtain exact results for the probability distribution of the population density in all cases, and for Cauchy stable noise the exact expression of the nonlinear relaxation time is derived. Moreover starting from an initial delta function distribution, we find a transition induced by the multiplicative Levy noise, from a trimodal probability distribution to a bimodal probability distribution in asymptotics. Finally we find a nonmonotonic behavior of the nonlinear relaxation time as a function of the Cauchy stable noise intensity.

How should one formulate, extract, and interpret `non-observables' for nuclei?

description: Nuclear observables such as binding energies and cross sections can be directly measured. Other physically useful quantities, such as spectroscopic factors, are related to measured quantities by a convolution whose decomposition is not unique. Can a framework for these nuclear structure `non-observables' be formulated systematically so that they can be extracted from experiment with known uncertainties and calculated with consistent theory? Parton distribution functions in hadrons serve as an illustrative example of how this can be done. A systematic framework is also needed to address questions of interpretation, such as whether short-range correlations are important for nuclear structure.

DECLASSIFLOW: A Static Analysis for Modeling Non-Speculative Knowledge to Relax Speculative Execution Security Measures (Full Version)

description: Speculative execution attacks undermine the security of constant-time programming, the standard technique used to prevent microarchitectural side channels in security-sensitive software such as cryptographic code. Constant-time code must therefore also deploy a defense against speculative execution attacks to prevent leakage of secret data stored in memory or the processor registers. Unfortunately, contemporary defenses, such as speculative load hardening (SLH), can only satisfy this strong security guarantee at a very high performance cost.
 This paper proposes DECLASSIFLOW, a static program analysis and protection framework to efficiently protect constant-time code from speculative leakage. DECLASSIFLOW models "attacker knowledge" -- data which is inherently transmitted (or, implicitly declassified) by the code's non-speculative execution -- and statically removes protection on such data from points in the program where it is already guaranteed to leak non-speculatively. Overall, DECLASSIFLOW ensures that data which never leaks during the non-speculative execution does not leak during speculative execution, but with lower overhead than conservative protections like SLH.
Amor, marmor, memor : patterns of parental commemoration of children in Rome and Roman Italy, with particular reference to mothers and young children and to mothers and older daughters
Creators: name: Knowles, MG
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis examines the epigraphic and literary evidence for ideals of parent-child relationships in Rome and Roman Italy, with a special focus on the relationship between mothers and young children, and mothers and older daughters. It considers all funerary inscriptions from Rome and Italy dedicated by parents to children ‚ÄövÑvÆ not a sample - that record the dedicand, their relationship to the honorand, and at least one epithet, in order to determine what ideals are most commonly expressed of the parent-child relationship, and of the mother-child relationship in particular. In order to place the inscriptional ideals expressed of the mother-child relationship into a broader context, two literary works from the first century A.D. ‚ÄövÑvÆ Seneca's Troades and Statius' Thebaid ‚ÄövÑvÆ are examined in-depth in terms of how their treatment of the mother-child bond reflects the ideals of the mother-child relationships recorded in the epitaphs.

description: Questo numero inaugurale di «Thaumàzein. Rivista di filosofia» è dedicato al problema di una cura sui che non si riduca a un intimistico rafforzamento del sé autoreferenziale ma miri, all’opposto, al suo trascendimento.

Solo in parte questo numero raccoglie le rielaborazioni degli interventi presentati al Convegno internazionale "Cura sui e autotrascendimento. La formazione del sé fra antico e post-moderno", svoltosi presso il Dipartimento di Filosofia, Pedagogia e Psicologia dell’Università di Verona il 22-24 novembre 2012.

Il tema già in quell’occasione è parso ricco e articolato, affrontabile da prospettive disciplinari e storiche e con sensibilità critiche molto diverse fra loro: ma nell’arco dell’ultimo anno altri studiosi hanno voluto intervenire nel dibattito e questo primo numero della Rivista esce perciò arricchito di nuove voci.

description: My Master’s degree research project concerns the history and development of analogue tide prediction machines. In this speed lecture presentation I explain how I am using a novel approach to prosopography to study the lives of tide prediction machines.

I gave this 5-minute speed lecture at the International Postgraduate Port and Maritime Studies Network Conference 2019 at the University of Dundee on 25 April 2019.

Abstract: Tide Prediction Machines (TPMs) are analogue computers that were used to predict the times of high and low tides worldwide from the end of the 1800s up to the digital age. The first TPM was designed by William Thomson and built in London in 1873. It was developed as a response to increasing pressure from commercial shipping lines towards the middle of the 19th century who wanted a greater number of more accurate tidal predictions more quickly than could be calculated by hand. As well as helping shipping lines and navies to safely navigate the seas and the shores, TPMs became crucial to the building of ports and effective flood defences. Most of the 33 TPMs ever built were constructed in the UK but were then shipped to other countries who wanted to do their own calculations. In this research, prosopography is used to analyse the life cycle of TPMs, from the motivation for producing them to their decommissioning and their status today. Prosopography is a research approach usually used by historians to study the lives of groups of people; only recently has the idea of conducting prosopographical studies of collections of related objects begun to be explored. This is a concept that is developed and utilised in this research. The aim is to find and analyse the common features in the lives of TPMs, which will give an appreciation of their importance, the extent of their use and usefulness, and an impression of the shape of their lives.
