A shifting facade : an exploration of the zone between actual and illusionary form
Creators: name: Coote, RD
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The starting point for this project was in the reflections upon modernist glass fa‚àövüades. Throughout this research the reference to reflections developed into a broader critical interrogation and investigation into the possibilities of glass within other architectural spaces. The aim has been to develop both a visual and working methodology which could speak from within, and about, particular architectural spaces; with the intention to disrupt the formalised architectural grid by distorting our perception of architecture as being contained. By taking what is intrinsic to external glass architecture - a visual combination of stable and fragile forms - into utilitarian architectural spaces, I sought to create non-static readings of otherwise static spaces. The ultimate aim being to create multiple reflections that could suggest a constructed space that seemed sturdy, but with the illusion of being able to shift or collapse at any moment. Throughout this project I have explored the possibilities of combining float glass and stainless steel through the process of kiln-forming. I experimented with installation strategies to attach these materials directly to the architectural elements they reference, so the work seems to come from its architectural source before breaking away and disrupting it. The resulting works falls into three categories: architectural installations, objects and large-scale public art. The installations in the final submission exhibition are arranged as a collection of ideas and possibilities for utilitarian architectural spaces, which could be applied on a larger-scale. The two public art commissions see the accumulation of the studio research within actual architectural spaces, and the objects are experiments into industrial processes and prototypes. The contextual research focused mainly on the glass fa‚àövüade and the critique and interpretation of it. This project finds a solid grounding in both the questioning of, and admiration for, modernist glass architecture, particularity Mies van der Rohe; looking at his glass skyscraper and Barcelona Pavilion as case studies. Leading on from this I explored the new sensibility of post modernist and contemporary glass architecture along with the Deconstructivist architects of the 1980's who collapsed and questioned architectural structure. A sculptural influence on the project has been Dan Graham and his critique of glass within architecture through his 'pavilion' series, along with artists Mary Schaffer and Christopher Wilmarth who explore the potential use of glass in an innovative and sculptural way. The installation of glass within architectural space has been researched through Australian artists Janet Laurence, Wendy Mills and Maureen Cahill.

description: The southeast subtropical Pacific Ocean was sampled along a zonal transect between the coasts of Chile and Easter Island. This remote area of the world’s ocean presents strong gradients in physical (e.g., temperature, density and light), chemical (e.g., salinity and nutrient concentrations) and microbiological (e.g., cell abundances, biomass and specific growth rates) properties. The goal of this study was to describe the phosphorus (P) dynamics in three main ecosystems along this transect: the upwelling regime off the northern Chilean coast, the oligotrophic area associated with the southeast subtropical Pacific gyre and the transitional area in between these two biomes. We found that inorganic phosphate (Pi) concentrations were high and turnover times were long (>210 nmol l−1 and >31 d, respectively) in the upper water column, along the entire transect. Pi uptake rates in the gyre were low (euphotic layer integrated rates were 0.26 mmol m−2 d−1 in the gyre and 1.28 mmol m−2 d−1 in the upwelling region), yet not only driven by decreases in particle mass or cell abundance (particulate P- and cell- normalized Pi uptake rates in the euphotic layer were ∼1–4 times and ∼3–15 times lower in the gyre than in the upwelling, respectively). However these Pi uptake rates were at or near the maximum Pi uptake velocity (i.e., uptake rates in Pi amended samples were not significantly different from those at ambient concentration: 1.5 and 23.7 nmol l−1 d−1 at 50% PAR in the gyre and upwelling, respectively). Despite the apparent Pi replete conditions, selected dissolved organic P (DOP) compounds were readily hydrolyzed. Nucleotides were the most bioavailable of the DOP substrates tested. Microbes actively assimilated adenosine-5′-triphosphate (ATP) leading to Pi and adenosine incorporation as well as Pi release to the environment. The southeast subtropical Pacific Ocean is a Pi-sufficient environment, yet DOP hydrolytic processes are maintained and contribute to P-cycling across the wide range of environmental conditions present in this ecosystem.

description: We analyze recently compiled data on the production of open heavy flavor hadrons and quarkonia in e+e- as well as pp and p-nucleus collisions in terms of the statistical hadronization model. Within this approach the production of open heavy flavor hadrons is well described with parameters deduced from a thermal analysis of light flavor hadron production. In contrast, quarkonium production in such collisions cannot be described in this framework. We point out the relevance of this finding for our understanding of quarkonium production in ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions.

description: The first aim of the present paper is to compare various sub-Riemannian structures over the three dimensional sphere $S^3$ originating from different constructions. Namely, we describe the sub-Riemannian geometry of $S^3$ arising through its right Lie group action over itself, the one inherited from the natural complex structure of the open unit ball in $\comp^2$ and the geometry that appears when considering the Hopf map as a principal bundle. The main result of this comparison is that in fact those three structures coincide. In the second place, we present two bracket generating distributions for the seven dimensional sphere $S^7$ of step 2 with ranks 6 and 4. These yield to sub-Riemannian structures for $S^7$ that are not present in the literature until now. One of the distributions can be obtained by considering the CR geometry of $S^7$ inherited from the natural complex structure of the open unit ball in $\comp^4$. The other one originates from the quaternionic analogous of the Hopf map.

description: Interspecies transmission of influenza A is an important factor in the evolution and ecology of influenza viruses. Marine mammals are in contact with a number of influenza reservoirs, including aquatic birds and humans, and this may facilitate transmission among avian and mammalian hosts. Virus isolation, whole genome sequencing, and hemagluttination inhibition assay confirmed that exposure to pandemic H1N1 influenza virus occurred among free-ranging Northern Elephant Seals (Mirounga angustirostris) in 2010. Nasal swabs were collected from 42 adult female seals in April 2010, just after the animals had returned to the central California coast from their short post-breeding migration in the northeast Pacific. Swabs from two seals tested positive by RT-PCR for the matrix gene, and virus was isolated from each by inoculation into embryonic chicken eggs. Whole genome sequencing revealed greater than 99% homology with A/California/04/2009 (H1N1) that emerged in humans from swine in 2009. Analysis of more than 300 serum samples showed that samples collected early in 2010 (n = 100) were negative and by April animals began to test positive for antibodies against the pH1N1 virus (HI titer of ≥ 1∶40), supporting the molecular findings. In vitro characterizations studies revealed that viral replication was indistinguishable from that of reference strains of pH1N1 in canine kidney cells, but replication was inefficient in human epithelial respiratory cells, indicating these isolates may be elephant seal adapted viruses. Thus findings confirmed that exposure to pandemic H1N1 that was circulating in people in 2009 occurred among free-ranging Northern Elephant Seals in 2010 off the central California coast. This is the first report of pH1N1 (A/Elephant seal/California/1/2010) in any marine mammal and provides evidence for cross species transmission of influenza viruses in free-ranging wildlife and movement of influenza viruses between humans and wildlife.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. In the Atlantic Arc there are 550 inshore and offshore Marine Protected Areas established with a wide diversity of objectives. Only 153 of them have management plans and 64 undergo actual management on a daily basis, generally lacking standardized indicators of their performance. In order to address this issue we developed an alternative approach based on the expert knowledge and perception of managers operating MPAs. To collect this information we used questionnaires focused on: compliance with objectives, governance, control and enforcement, and monitoring and assessment.

Laser induced perturbation in a plasma
Creators: name: Baldis, Hector Alberto
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The interaction between a 20 MW Q-switched ruby laser pulse and a partially ionized argon plasma has been studied experimentally. When the focused laser pulse is fired into the plasma', a transient emission from the plasma may be observed both in the continuum and line emission. From measurements of the absolute intensities of this transient radiation, estimates have been made of the population density of the excited atoms and of the electron densities. The Stark broadening of the Ar II lines has also been measured to obtain the electron density in the transient plasma and data obtained in this way are consistent with those obtained from the continuum radiation. During the time when the laser light is incident on the plasma the Ar II lines show a strong asymmetry which disappears quickly after the laser pulse has terminated. This asymmetry can be explained in terms of the electron density gradient present in the expanding perturbed plasma.

description: Nuclear electromagnetic currents are derived in time-ordered perturbation theory within an effective-field-theory framework including explicit nucleons, $Δ$ isobars, and pions up to one loop, or N$^3$LO. The currents obtained at N$^2$LO, {\it i.e.} ignoring loop corrections, are used in a study of neutron radiative captures on protons and deuterons at thermal energies, and of $A$=2 and 3 nuclei magnetic moments. The wave functions for $A$=2 are derived from solutions of the Schrödinger equation with the Argonne $v_{18}$ (AV18) or CD-Bonn (CDB) potentials, while those for $A$=3 are obtained with the hyperspherical-harmonics-expansion method from a realistic Hamiltonian including, in addition to the AV18 or CDB two-nucleon, also a three-nucleon potential. With the strengths of the $Δ$-excitation currents occurring at N$^2$LO determined to reproduce the $n$-$p$ cross section and isovector combination of the trinucleon magnetic moments, we find that the cross section and photon circular polarization parameter, measured in $n$-$d$ and $\vec{n}$-$d$ processes, are underpredicted by theory, for example the cross section by (11--38)% as the cutoff is increased from 500 to 800 MeV. A complete analysis of the results, in particular their large cutoff dependence, is presented.

description: Both surface and subsurface processes modulate the surface thermal skin and as such the skin temperature may serve as an indicator for coastal, estuarine, and alluvial processes. Infrared (IR) imagery offers the unique tool to survey such systems, allowing not only to assess temperature variability of the thermal boundary layer, but also to derive surface flow fields through digital particle image velocimetry, optical flow techniques, or spectral methods. In this study, IR time-series imagery taken from a boat moored in the Hudson River estuary is used to determine surface flow, turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate, and characteristic temperature and velocity length scales. These are linked to subsurface measurements provided by in situ instruments. Under the low wind conditions and weak stratification, surface currents and dissipation rate are found to reflect subsurface mean flow (r^2 = 0.89) and turbulence (r^2 = 0.75). For relatively low dissipation rates, better correlations are obtained by computing dissipation rates directly from wavenumber spectra rather than when having to assume the validity of the Taylor hypothesis. Furthermore, the subsurface dissipation rate scales with the surface length scales (L) and mean flow (U) using ε ∝ U^3/L (r^2 = 0.9). The surface length scale derived from the thermal fields is found to have a strong linear relationship (r^2 = 0.88) to water depth (D) with (D/L) ∼ 13. Such a relation may prove useful for remote bathymetric surveys when no waves are present.

description: To achieve the available performance gains in half-duplex wireless relay networks, several cooperative schemes have been earlier proposed using either distributed space-time coding or distributed beamforming for the transmitter without and with channel state information (CSI), respectively. However, these schemes typically have rather high implementation and/or decoding complexities, especially when the number of relays is high. In this paper, we propose a simple low-rate feedback-based approach to achieve maximum diversity with a low decoding and implementation complexity. To further improve the performance of the proposed scheme, the knowledge of the second-order channel statistics is exploited to design long-term power loading through maximizing the receiver signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) with appropriate constraints. This maximization problem is approximated by a convex feasibility problem whose solution is shown to be close to the optimal one in terms of the error probability. Subsequently, to provide robustness against feedback errors and further decrease the feedback rate, an extended version of the distributed Alamouti code is proposed. It is also shown that our scheme can be generalized to the differential transmission case, where it can be applied to wireless relay networks with no CSI available at the receiver.

description: Background The detection of pathogens in complex sample backgrounds has been revolutionized by wide access to next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms. However, analytical methods to support NGS platforms are not as uniformly available. Pathosphere (found at Pathosphere.org) is a cloud - based open - sourced community tool that allows for communication, collaboration and sharing of NGS analytical tools and data amongst scientists working in academia, industry and government. The architecture allows for users to upload data and run available bioinformatics pipelines without the need for onsite processing hardware or technical support. Results The pathogen detection capabilities hosted on Pathosphere were tested by analyzing pathogen-containing samples sequenced by NGS with both spiked human samples as well as human and zoonotic host backgrounds. Pathosphere analytical pipelines developed by Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC) identified spiked pathogens within a common sample analyzed by 454, Ion Torrent, and Illumina sequencing platforms. ECBC pipelines also correctly identified pathogens in human samples containing arenavirus in addition to animal samples containing flavivirus and coronavirus. These analytical methods were limited in the detection of sequences with limited homology to previous annotations within NCBI databases, such as parvovirus. Utilizing the pipeline-hosting adaptability of Pathosphere, the analytical suite was supplemented by analytical pipelines designed by the United States Army Medical Research Insititute of Infectious Diseases and Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (USAMRIID-WRAIR). These pipelines were implemented and detected parvovirus sequence in the sample that the ECBC iterative analysis previously failed to identify. Conclusions By accurately detecting pathogens in a variety of samples, this work demonstrates the utility of Pathosphere and provides a platform for utilizing, modifying and creating pipelines for a variety of NGS technologies developed to detect pathogens in complex sample backgrounds. These results serve as an exhibition for the existing pipelines and web-based interface of Pathosphere as well as the plug-in adaptability that allows for integration of newer NGS analytical software as it becomes available.

description: Current transactions are more complex than they were ever before. Information is asymmetric, and expectations differ between the sides. Therefore, an effective negotiation becomes quite crucial to reaching a win-win result. Different countries have different cultural environments; hence numerous different negotiations styles which merit further studies. However, most prior studies in the field are focused on a single factor used to measure another variable that may not consistently capture how gender and ethics affect negotiation styles and the relationships between gender and ethics.
Dielectric relaxation in symmetric-top molecules
Creators: name: Clark, Robert Bernard
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Dielectric dispersion has been observed in the symmetric-top molecules CHF₃ and CH₃­F in the gas phase over a density range from 10­³ to 40 amagats at a temperature of 309°K and a frequency of 30 MHz. The absorption (related to the dispersion by the Kramers-Kronig relations) has been expressed in terms of a simple correlation function of the permanent electric dipole moment which is the product of the correlation function for free motion and an exponentially decaying "reduced" correlation function. The effects of molecular collisions were described by a single correlation time which measures the apparent molecular diameter. The results were compared with microwave nonresonant absorption and nuclear spin relaxation experiments done on the same molecules. At low densities (<.l amagats) a dispersion curve of the Debye type was observed. At high densities (>1 amagat) the dependence of the dielectric susceptibility on density deviated from that expected from the Clausius-Mossotti equation. The origin of this effect is not understood at present.

description: The Columbia and Cornell University Libraries’ partnership (2CUL) is now in its sixth year. Its composite acronym (2CUL), which condenses a doubling of the two participating libraries’ initial letters, summarizes its vision: a broad integration of library activities in many areas—including collection development, acquisitions and cataloging, e-resources and digital management, digital preservation, and reciprocal offsite use of collections. A key component in the partnership was the 2CUL Technical Services Integration, an initiative funded by a generous three-year grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, which ended on December 31, 2015. In this paper, the third in a series, the authors report on the final year of this grant-funded project and reflect on the results of the two institutions’ attempt to achieve deep, operational integration within technical services. In presenting an honest appraisal of the project’s challenges and vicissitudes, the authors hope that their experiences and insights will help other libraries plan their own collaborative ventures.

It is proved that any pseudocyclic scheme the rank of which is much more than the valency is the scheme of a Frobenius group and is uniquely determined up to isomorphism by its intersection number array. An immediate corollary of this result is that any scheme of prime degree, valency $k$ and rank at least $k^4$ is schurian.

The biology and molecular ecology of Oreixenica and related southeast Australian Satyrinae
Creators: name: Anderson, RAL
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: In the Australian region, the family Nymphalidae contributes one fifth of the butterfly fauna, with the endemic species and genera all belonging to the subfamily Satyrinae, which is most diverse in the south eastern part of the continent. Here, extensive geographical variation has developed in the phenotype of many satyrines. This is best illustrated in the genus Oreixenica, which is endemic to the cooler parts of southeast Australia. This thesis comprehensively examines the relationships of a cross section of five genera and fourteen species from this group. New morphological data from the eggs and genitalia of these taxa are provided and used to test existing hypotheses of relationships. On this basis, it can be shown that the southeast Australian Satyrinae conform to a monophyletic group. Further evidence was sought from molecular data. Sequence data from three genes: the mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase Subunit 1 gene (C01), the nuclear Elongation Factor 1a (EF-1a) protein-coding gene, and the nuclear Wingless gene, were utilised to construct a phylogeny of twelve satyrine species plus two nymphalid outgroup genera. Phylogenetic trees derived from all data sets recovered very similar, well-supported relationships. The major findings from these analyses are: the temperate zone southeast Australian Satyrinae are indeed a monophyletic group based upon molecular evidence; the Heteronympha clade is sister to the Oreixenica clade; 0. latialis from the Australian Alps is the sister species to the Tasmanian endemic 0. ptunarra; H cordace is derived from the ancestor of H penelope and H merope; and, G. klugii is placed basally within the group. Estimated ages of divergence for the taxa are presented and these are related to the broad evolutionary history of the expansion of native grasslands in southern Australia. Whilst these results have implications for the conservation management of Australian Satyrinae, particular attention is focussed on the threatened Tasmanian 0. ptunarra, which has a fragmented and restricted distribution. Since European settlement a considerable reduction and modification of O. ptunarra habitat has occurred, particularly throughout the Midlands, a major agricultural region. The genetic relationships between sampled populations suggest that O. ptunarra does broadly interact within the traditional subspecies ranges, and some populations are becoming increasingly genetically isolated particularly in the Midlands and eastern regions of Tasmania. This detail is presently overlooked in current management plans and conservation efforts which are opportunistic in their approach to butterfly protection.

description: We present here a new parameterization for the bulk motions of galaxies and clusters (in the linear regime) that can be measured statistically from the shape and amplitude of the two-dimensional two-point correlation function. We further propose the one-dimensional velocity dispersion (v_p) of the bulk flow as a complementary measure of redshift-space distortions, which is model-independent and not dependent on the normalisation method. As a demonstration, we have applied our new methodology to the C4 cluster catalogue constructed from Data Release Three (DR3) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We find v_p=270^{+433}km/s (also consistent with v_p=0) for this cluster sample (at z=0.1), which is in agreement with that predicted for a WMAP5-normalised LCDM model (i.e., v_p(LCDM=203km/s). This measurement does not lend support to recent claims of excessive bulk motions (\simeq1000 km/s) which appear in conflict with LCDM, although our large statistical error cannot rule them out. From the measured coherent evolution of v_p, we develop a technique to re-construct the perturbed potential, as well as estimating the unbiased matter density fluctuations and scale--independent bias.

description: A series of events in 2014 brought significant attention to the United States-Mexico border. Over the summer, reports of an influx of undocumented Central American immigrants began circulating. Though most coverage mentioned only children crossing the border, many of these young migrants traveled alongside their mothers. Reports of this influx raised public awareness about the increased level of immigration enforcement at the border and the rise of federal family detention centers in south Texas. That same year, a series of lawsuits against the State of Texas’s House Bill 2, which implemented significant restrictions on reproductive health clinics and abortion services in the state, shone a light on the health crisis facing women in the Rio Grande Valley. Part I of this paper lays out the constituent systems of immigration enforcement and anti-abortion policies in recent Texas history and situates these systems within larger national trends. Part II addresses the way the systems work together, using a framework of “intersectional subordination” to highlight the particular violence they work upon undocumented immigrant Latina women and Latino/a communities more broadly. Part III gives a brief historical perspective on the intersectional failure of the Chicano/a rights and reproductive rights movements. It argues that the marginalization of Latina women, generally, and activism against Latina reproductive oppression specifically, has contributed to the development of an abortion jurisprudence that fails to remedy the expansive negative outcomes of anti-abortion policies. Finally, Part IV concludes by arguing that the undue burden standard fails to protect marginalized women from violations of their reproductive and bodily rights and argues for reworking abortion jurisprudence and reproductive justice advocacy to better encompass the full intersectional experience and racialized outcomes of anti-abortion policies.

description: A comprehensive set of azimuthal single-spin and double-spin asymmetries in semi-inclusive leptoproduction of pions, charged kaons, protons, and antiprotons from transversely polarized protons is presented. These asymmetries include the previously published HERMES results on Collins and Sivers asymmetries, the analysis of which has been extended to include protons and antiprotons and also to an extraction in a three-dimensional kinematic binning and enlarged phase space. They are complemented by corresponding results for the remaining four single-spin and four double-spin asymmetries allowed in the one-photon-exchange approximation of the semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering process for target-polarization orientation perpendicular to the direction of the incoming lepton beam. Among those results, significant non-vanishing $\cos{\phi-\phi_S}$ modulations provide evidence for a sizable worm-gear (II) distribution, $g_{1T}$. Most of the other modulations are found to be consistent with zero with the notable exception of large $\sin{\phi_S}$ modulations for charged pions and positive kaons.

description: The time evolution of the electromagnetic emission from blazars, in particular high frequency peaked sources (HBLs), displays irregular activity not yet understood. In this work we report a methodology capable of characterizing the time behavior of these variable objects. The Maximum Likelihood Blocks (MLBs) is a model-independent estimator which sub-divides the light curve into time blocks, whose length and amplitude are compatible with states of constant emission rate of the observed source. The MLBs yields the statistical significance in the rate variations and strongly suppresses the noise fluctuations in the light curves. We apply the MLBs for the first time on the long term X-ray light curves (RXTE/ASM) of Mkn~421,Mkn~501, 1ES 1959+650 and 1ES 2155-304, which consist of more than 10 years of observational data (1996-2007). Using the MLBs interpretation of RXTE/ASM data, the integrated time flux distribution is determined for each single source considered. We identify in these distributions the characteristic level as well as the flaring states of the blazars. All the distributions show a significant component at negative flux values, most probably caused by an uncertainty in the background subtraction and by intrinsic fluctuations of RXTE/ASM. This effect interests in particular short time observations. In order to quantify the probability that the intrinsic fluctuations give rise to a false identification of a flare, we study a population of very faint sources and their integrated time flux distribution. We determine duty cycle or fraction of time a source spent in the flaring state of the source Mkn~421, Mkn~501, 1ES 1959+650 and 1ES 2155-304. Moreover, we study the random coincidences between flares and generic sporadic events such as high energy neutrinos or flares in other wavelengths.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. There has been an increase in the number of non-extractive uses linked to nature tourism in Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). In fact, MPAs play an important role in renewing the image of touristic sites and in the management and promotion of new leisure activities like snorkeling. Along with SCUBA diving, snorkeling is the most important diving activity in the world and a common first step to approach the marine environment. Among its benefits, snorkeling is simple, cheap, and accessible to a wide range of population. In addition, its low ecological impact makes snorkeling an interesting activity for MPAs. However, unlike terrestrial landscapes, there is no standard methodology to assess the recreational attributes of submerged seascapes.
Fermi radii of lithium by positron annihilation.
Creators: name: Paciga, John Joseph
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A positron annihilation experiment involving collinear point geometry is used to make a direct comparison of the k₁₁₀ and k₁₀₀ Fermi radii in a single crystal of lithium. It is found that is k₁₁₀ greater than k₁₀₀ by 5.6 ± 1.2%, in agreement with theory and a phenomenological interpretation of an earlier long slit experiment. The higher momentum components of the positron wavefunction are calculated by a direct method and found to be negligible. On the other hand, a less straightforward estimate based on a flattened Seitz potential shows that the higher momentum components of the electron wavefunction significantly reduce the experimentally observed anisotropy. Hence, the difference of 5.6% should be regarded as an upper limit on the true distortion of the Fermi surface of lithium.
Rainfall regimes of the Green Sahara

description: During the “Green Sahara” period (11,000 to 5000 years before the present), the Sahara desert received high amounts of rainfall, supporting diverse vegetation, permanent lakes, and human populations. Our knowledge of rainfall rates and the spatiotemporal extent of wet conditions has suffered from a lack of continuous sedimentary records. We present a quantitative reconstruction of western Saharan precipitation derived from leaf wax isotopes in marine sediments. Our data indicate that the Green Sahara extended to 31°N and likely ended abruptly. We find evidence for a prolonged “pause” in Green Sahara conditions 8000 years ago, coincident with a temporary abandonment of occupational sites by Neolithic humans. The rainfall rates inferred from our data are best explained by strong vegetation and dust feedbacks; without these mechanisms, climate models systematically fail to reproduce the Green Sahara. This study suggests that accurate simulations of future climate change in the Sahara and Sahel will require improvements in our ability to simulate vegetation and dust feedbacks.

The awareness of time and eternity in the German lyrics of Andreas Gryphius.
Creators: name: Evenhuis, Edith Katherine
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The intention of this thesis has been to demonstrate the centrality of Gryphius' awareness of time and eternity in his German lyrics. By way of introduction, we have looked briefly at the poet's life and background, as well as at the concept of poetry prevalent in his era. In the main body of the thesis we have then proceeded to discuss the poet's awareness of time and eternity as revealed, firstly, in the theme and subject matter of his German lyrics, secondly, in structure and imagery. Wherever relevant, reference has been made to his drama and funeral dissertations. Having attempted to define the concepts of time and eternity - as far as possible in terms of Gryphius' own statements - we have then dealt with the poet's predominant themes: transience of universe, world-system, man and his values, human life, the use and conquest of time - always within the wider context of the awareness of time and eternity. From the above analysis we have arrived at the following conclusions: far from being torn apart by the dichotomy between time and eternity, Gryphius' whole creative personality is orientated towards the ultimate integration of the two. This is not to deny, in any way, his profound sense of the transience and futility of the things of time in themselves. But here his awareness does not end. While refusing to ascribe any eternal or eternalising qualities to anything born of, or created in, time, he is swift to recognise that the temporal may well serve as a pointer to the eternal. He also believes in the potential of every individual to conquer time, not by any of the temporal means, whose spuriousness he decries, but by availing himself of the ultimate conquest of time accomplished by Christ. It is still within this essentially Christian framework that we have viewed Gryphius' use of structure and imagery. In examining his exploitation of the sonnet form, we have pointed to a definite correspondence between structure and the view of life presented, it being virtually impossible, in Gryphius' serious sonnets, to speak of intricacy of form for its own sake. Similarly, in the domain of imagery, we have detected a clear purpose behind his incorporation of even the most conventional metaphors and similes. We have shown that Gryphius' frequent use of allegory and emblem is highly symptomatic of his assessment of time in the light of eternity: it is not just that merely incidental or accidental phenomena from the material realm may assume universal and spiritual significance, but rather that, according to Gryphius' conviction, the temporal assumes value, significance and durability only as it is brought into focus with the eternal. In our final conclusion we have noted that, for Gryphius, the only unit of time to which man may lay any claim is the moment. Depending on the individual's attitude towards it, it is either an elusive, moving point in the inexorable course of time or the very point at which eternity offers itself to us.
