description: We investigate the early phase of the first state change during the 2008 September-November outburst of H1743-322, first detected by the INTEGRAL satellite. We analyse INTEGRAL, RXTE, Swift, and XMM/Newton observations, which provide coverage of the quiescence to outburst evolution in the 3-200 keV range every few days. The energy spectra are well fitted by a phenomenological model consisting of an exponentially cut-off power law plus a disc component. A more physical model of thermal Comptonisation (and a disc) represents the spectra equally well. In a first phase (up to MJD 54760), the photon index and temperature of the disc do not vary significantly, and have values reminiscent of the Hard State (HS). The timing analysis is also consistent with that of a HS, and shows in particular a rather high degree of variability (~30%), and a strong ~0.5-1 Hz QPO with its first harmonic. The timing and spectral characteristics of H1743-322 are similar to those of the first HS during its 2003 outburst. After MJD 54760, a change to softer spectra and a ~5-6 Hz QPO indicate that the source underwent a state transition into a Hard-Intermediate State (HIMS). We observe in both states a correlation between the QPO frequency and the photon index, which indicates a strong link between the accretion disc, generally understood to determine the QPO frequency, and the corona, which determines the QPO power. The gradual disappearance of the QPO harmonic, and the slowly decreasing hard X-ray flux, imply that the accretion disc gradually moved inwards during the HS.

description: The Stability of Land In Dynamic Environments (SLIDE) research project aims to improve the resilience of New Zealand’s buildings and infrastructure through better knowledge of the behaviour of slopes in response to strong earthquake shaking and significant rain events and the development of strategies for more robust remediation approaches. The SLIDE project’s main objectives are: 1.to establish inventories and data relating to slope processes, and 2.to use these data to underpin landslide hazard and risk assessments. This project is currently focused on Wellington, where a combination of various research funds have been used to establish a broader project to determine the effects of earthquakes and rain on slope stability. As Wellington is urbanised this phase of the project has focused primarily on anthropogenically modified slopes.This report presents both an empirical database of landslide runout and calibration of modelling parameters required for numerical landslide runout analysis. Understanding the distance a potential landslide can travel and the area it could impact are important components of hazard and risk analysis. Back analysis of previous landslides is traditionally used to predict the runout behaviour of potential future landslides. This can be done using empirical – statistical relationships (typically adopted for regional scale studies), or through numerical modelling of landslide run-out (typically used for more detailed, site-specific analysis). Both datasets are suitable for use and reflect the types and sizes of landslides that can occur within Wellington. The empirical database comprises national and international case studies, and specific relationships are derived for different landslide types, including: i) earthquake-triggered debris avalanches, ii) rainfall-triggered debris avalanches, iii) rainfall-triggered debris flows, and iv) fill slope failures. The numerical modelling calibration uses landslides observed during the Kaikoura earthquake, as well as landslides triggered along the Kaikoura coast during the ex-tropical cyclone Gita rain event as back analysis case studies. An iterative modelling procedure is employed, using RAMMS software, until the best-fit between model simulation results and observed landslide runout are obtained. The best-fit is quantified using: the difference in deposit distribution between the simulation result and observed landslide deposit. The friction parameters of the best fit model are then used to inform future numerical modelling. (The authors)
Modelling and control of direct drive variable speed wind turbine with Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator
Creators: name: Chowdhury, MM
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: The interest in wind energy system is growing worldwide to reduce dependency on fossil fuel and to minimize the adverse impact of climate change. Currently, doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) based variable speed wind turbine technology with gearbox is dominating the world market share. However, the problems associated with induction generator based wind turbines are reactive power consumption, mechanical stress and poor power quality. Moreover, the gearbox requires regular maintenance as it suffers from faults and malfunctions. Therefore, it is important to adopt technologies that can enhance efficiency, reliability and reduce system cost of wind based power generation system. The performance of a variable speed wind turbine can be enhanced significantly by using a low speed permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) without a gearbox. The main features of PMSG based wind turbines are; gearless operation, higher efficiency, enhanced reliability, smaller size, reduced cost and low losses. The main aim of this thesis is to develop improved control strategies for an efficient and reliable grid interface system for a gearless, direct drive variable speed wind turbine. This thesis focuses on several aspects of modelling and control of interior permanent magnet (IPM) synchronous generator based grid connected variable speed wind turbine with maximum power extraction (MPE). Both the indirect and direct control strategies are addressed for IPM synchronous generator based variable speed wind turbines. The main contributions of this thesis are; (i) development of parameter measurement methods to determine the parameter of an IPM synchronous generator, (ii) development of an improved indirect vector control scheme for the IPM synchronous generator based direct drive variable speed wind turbine, incorporating maximum torque per ampere trajectory (MTPA) and maximum power extraction (MPE) algorithm (iii) development of direct torque and flux (DTFC) control scheme for the IPM synchronous generator based direct drive variable speed wind turbine, and (iv) development of control and power management strategy for a three level converter based STATCOM with Supercapacitor energy storage to enhance the performance of the proposed wind energy conversion system under various disturbances.

description: We report on--off pointed MAMBO observations at 1.2 mm of 61 Spitzer-selected star-forming galaxies from the SWIRE survey. The sources are selected on the basis of bright 24um fluxes (f_24um>0.4mJy) and of stellar dominated near-infrared spectral energy distributions in order to favor z~2 starburst galaxies. The average 1.2mm flux for the whole sample is 1.5+/-0.2 mJy. Our analysis focuses on 29 sources in the Lockman Hole field where the average 1.2mm flux (1.9+/-0.3 mJy) is higher than in other fields (1.1+/-0.2 mJy). The analysis of the sources multi-wavelength spectral energy distributions indicates that they are starburst galaxies with far-infrared luminosities ~10^12-10^13.3 Lsun, and stellar masses of ~0.2-6 x10^11 M_sun. Compared to sub-millimeter selected galaxies (SMGs), the SWIRE-MAMBO sources are among those with the largest 24um/millimeter flux ratios. The origin of such large ratios is investigated by comparing the average mid-infrared spectra and the stacked far-infrared spectral energy distributions of the SWIRE-MAMBO sources and of SMGs. The mid-infrared spectra exhibit strong PAH features, and a warm dust continuum. The warm dust continuum contributes to ~34% of the mid-infrared emission, and is likely associated with an AGN component. This constribution is consistent with what is found in SMGs. The large 24um/1.2mm flux ratios are thus not due to AGN emission, but rather to enhanced PAH emission compared to SMGs. The analysis of the stacked far-infrared fluxes yields warmer dust temperatures than typically observed in SMGs. Our selection favors warm ultra-luminous infrared sources at high-z, a class of objects that is rarely found in SMG samples. Our sample is the largest Spitzer-selected sample detected at millimeter wavelengths currently available.

description: Droplet deposition onto a hydrophobic surface is studied experimentally and numerically. A wide range of droplet sizes can result from the same syringe, depending strongly on the needle retraction speed. Three regimes are identified according to the motion of the contact line. In Region I, at slow retraction speeds, the contact line expands and large droplets can be achieved. In Region II, at moderate needle speeds, a quasi-cylindrical liquid bridge forms resulting in drops approximately the size of the needle. Finally, at high speeds (Region III), the contact line retracts and droplets much smaller than the syringe diameter are observed. Scaling arguments are presented identifying the dominant mechanisms in each regime. Results from nonlinear numerical simulations agree well with the experiments, although the accuracy of the predictions is limited by inadequate models for the behavior of the dynamic contact angle.

description: We have performed a series of N-body simulations to model the Arches cluster. Our aim is to find the best fitting model for the Arches cluster by comparing our simulations with observational data and to constrain the parameters for the initial conditions of the cluster. By neglecting the Galactic potential and stellar evolution, we are able to efficiently search through a large parameter space to determine e.g. the IMF, size, and mass of the cluster. We find, that the cluster's observed present-day mass function can be well explained with an initial Salpeter IMF. The lower mass-limit of the IMF cannot be well constrained from our models. In our best models, the total mass and the virial radius of the cluster are initially (5.1 +/- 0.8) 10^4 Msun and 0.76 +/- 0.12 pc, respectively. The concentration parameter of the initial King model is w0 = 3-5.

description: In order to investigate the metallic state in high-mobility Si-MOS structures, we have further developed and precised the dipole trap model which was originally proposed by B.L. Altshuler and D.L. Maslov [Phys. Rev. Lett.\ 82, 145 (1999)]. Our additional numerical treatment enables us to drop several approximations and to introduce a limited spatial depth of the trap states inside the oxide as well as to include a distribution of trap energies. It turns out that a pronounced metallic state can be caused by such trap states at appropriate energies whose behavior is in good agreement with experimental observations.

description: So much of the actual records of female convicts is unpleasant and detrimental both to those in authority and to the women themselves, that it is necessary to remember that there must have been many whose deeds were unrecorded for the simple reason that they came to tho colony, became satisfactory domestic servants or satisfactory wives and mothers,and as such do not figure prominently in records. By these as well as by the settler's' wives~ homes were established and young colonists brought up. Nevertheless, the records of female convicts do not make pleasant reading.

description: During the years between the colonisation of Van Diemen' s Land in 1803 and the first declaration of martial law in 1828~ attitudes between native Tasmanians and British settlers changed from an uneasy acceptance, to outright hatred of each other. From an early date the colonial government had stressed the equality of the Tasmanians as British subjects .. Each administrator, in turn, declared that ¬¨‚àëthe aborigines were protected by, and subject to, British law. Government attitudes towards the aborigines -were paternalistic. Its policies were ineffectual. In reality the Tasmanians were ignored as long as they accepted the treatment dealt by white settlers.

Exploring the impact of 1:1 technology on teachers' pedagogy.
Creators: name: Males, LR
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The integration of technology, particularly through 1:1 device programs, has increased in schools over the last decade. Therefore, it is important teachers effectively implement computers into the classroom program through utilising functions such as programs, applications and the internet. The aim of this project was to explore the impact of 1:1 technology on teachers' pedagogy. This was completed through identifying pedagogical adaptations teachers made when every student in their class had their own device. To fulfill this aim, three guiding research questions were posed and explored through a grounded theory approach: 1. What is the nature of pedagogical adaptations teachers make when transitioning from technologically less well equipped classes to classes where every student has a personal computer?; 2. Which of these adaptations is most effective?; 3. How are the answers to RQ1 and RQ2 dependent upon the prescribed curriculum and accountability processes? Source materials including ICT user policy agreements and Behaviour management policies were collected from schools of participant teachers where five interviews were conducted with volunteer teachers who have 1:1 computers in their classroom of interviews conducted in addition to the inclusion of interviews from the Australian section of the EdFutures Study conducted by Professor Peter Twining. School policies. Source materials were analysed through a comparative document analysis against selection criteria and interview transcripts were collated through a grounded theory method. As a result of analysis the following were identified as the most significant pedagogical adaptations made in 1:1 classrooms: Digital preparation, the role of the digital teacher and 21st century learning. Of these three adaptations, digital preparation was found to be the most effective adaptation teachers could make. In addition, it was determined that these adaptations relied upon the curriculum and accountability process. The study recommends teachers plan for these environments utilising electronic storage such as Onenote or online learning environments. In this way, digital preparation can be easily shared with colleagues and reused for future lessons. This research also recommended schools explicitly state their vision for technology usage in classrooms, so teachers have a guide for planning and goals to work towards.

description: We consider the dynamics of rational semigroups (semigroups of rational maps) on the Riemann sphere. We estimate the Bowen parameters (zeros of the pressure functions) and the Hausdorff dimensions of the Julia sets of expanding finitely generated rational semigroups. We show that the Bowen parameter is larger than or equal to the ratio of the entropy of the skew product map $F$ and the Lyapunov exponent of $F$ with respect to the maximal entropy measure for $F$. Moreover, we show that the equality holds if and only if the generators $f_{j}$ are simultaneously conjugate to the form $a_{j}z^{\pm d}$ by a linear fractional transformation. Furthermore, we show that there are plenty of expanding finitely generated rational semigroups such that the Bowen parameter is strictly larger than two.

description: Poecilimon antalyaensis myrae Chobanov & Heller subsp. n.
(G in Figures 3–6 and 9–11, Figures 1C, 17C, 18, 21, 22)
 Material examined. Holotype, male. 1 M (collected as nymph), Antalya, south of Kemer 36.39273o N, 30.40127o E, 4.vi.2014 (CC).
 Diagnosis. Smaller body size seems to be the main distinctive character of P. antalyaensis myrae at a first glance. The number of stridulatory teeth <77 (80–98 in P. a. antalyaensis and> 98 P. a. anemurium) and the shorter and robust male cerci with robust apex (relatively slender and with tapered apex in the other two) are main diagnostic characters of this subspecies (compare F, G and H in Figure 6). Male calling song of this species differs by temporal parameters from other two subspecies (see Figure 18). In addition P. antalyaensis myrae differs from P. antalyaensis anemurium (compare G with H in Figures 3–13) by the male subgenital plate with a concave caudal margin (convex in the other); the male cerci are shorter and incurved along their distal 3/4 (incurved in 1/ 4 in the other), their inwards directed part is shorter and their apices are robust (inward part is elongated and apex is tapered in the others; compare F, G and H in Figure 9).

Inquiry training in elementary mathematics as related to sixth grade pupils' ability to analyze and solve problems
Creators: name: Weinstein, Marian S.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This was a study to determine the effects of inquiry training in elementary mathematics, in both group and individualized situations. Three experimental conditions were used. One group of grade six students received problems on area calculation and arithmetic rate problems in which not enough information was given, requiring them to acquire more data by asking questions on blank cards given to them individually for that purpose. They were then given prepared response cards in reply. A second group received the same problems with not enough information, but all questions and all responses were made orally in a classroom so that all class members could simultaneously receive the information which one student requested. A third group received the same problem sheets, but with all necessary data present, and no new information was given them. Two short training sessions were held dealing with area calculation and solution of arithmetic rate problems to familiarize the subjects with the nature of the learning materials. A total of 64 subjects participated in all phases of the experiment. All subjects were given an IQ test and a pretest, parallel to the final cirterion test, consisting of problems of both an arithmetic and geometric nature, as well as area calculation. The criterion test, at the conclusion of the instructional period, consisted of the same three subdivisions, including items both similar and dissimilar to the training materials. Each item on both the pretest and the criterion test was answerable by "not enough information" as well as by three numerical possibilities. Both pretest and criterion tests were marked twice, once to give an actual score and once to determine the correct use of the "not enough information" response. Each of the three subtests - arithmetic, geometric, and area calculation - was marked separately from the total test, as well, and they were then scored again to consider them as tests measuring the correct use of "not enough information". Thus a total of eight separate criterion scores with corresponding pretest scores were involved. An analysis of covariance was performed using the IQ and pretest scores as covariates. The results indicated that the group inquiry training approach was the most successful of the three approaches in that these students scored significantly higher marks on five of the eight scores. No significant differences were found among the other three scores.

description: We use a hybrid approach that combines high-resolution simulations of the formation of a Milky Way-like halo with a semi-analytic model of galaxy formation to study the mass content of dwarf galaxies in the concordance $Λ$CDM cosmology. We find that the mass within 600 pc of dark matter haloes hosting luminous satellites has a median value of $\sim 3.2\times 10^7$ Msun with very little object-to-object scatter. In contrast, the present day total luminosities of the model satellites span nearly five orders of magnitude. These findings are in very good agreement with the results recently reported in the literature for the dwarf spheroidal galaxies of the Milky Way. In our model, dwarf irregular galaxies like the Small Magellanic Cloud, are predicted to have similar or slightly larger dark matter mass within 600 pc.

description: We propose a scenario of quantum memory for light based on Raman scattering. The storage medium is a vapor and the different spectral components of the incoming signal are stored in different atomic velocity classes. One uses appropriate pulses to reverse the resulting Doppler phase shift and to regenerate the signal, without distortion, in the backward direction. The different stages of the protocol are detailed and the recovery efficiency is calculated in the semi-classical picture. Since the memory bandwidth is determined by the Raman transition Doppler width, it can be adjusted by changing the angle of the signal and control beams. The optical depth also depends on the beam angle. As a consequence the available optical depth can be optimized, depending on the needed bandwidth. The predicted recovery efficiency is close to 100% for large optical depth.

Puerto Rican Women's Roles in Independence Nationalism: Unwavering Women

Subjects: classificationCode: 4410
subject: Sociology
subject: FOS: Sociology

description: This dissertation investigates the construction of women and feminism in the Puerto Rican nationalist project as presented in Claridad, "the newspaper of the Puerto Rican nation." This study relies on an interpretive approach to methodology which weaves together several strands of sociological analysis. The research method is content analysis to study the newspaper Claridad as a social artifact for analysis. The sample of articles for analysis consists of 769 newspaper articles using content analysis coding and interpreting the textual material from Claridad in the period 1980 - 2006. I also consult a range of other materials and observations as background for analysis. The analysis concentrates on women's roles in independence nationalism in Puerto Rico. The work of Anthias and Yuval-Davis (1989) and Yuval-Davis (1997) offer tools for inquiry into the roles or frames for women as heuristic devices to conduct the analysis of gender and nationalism. This study finds that the coverage of women's roles and feminism in independence nationalism in Puerto Rico is minimal or only 1.5 percent, and that for the notion that Claridad is "the newspaper of the Puerto Rican nation," women's roles in this independence project are marginal.

Diplomacy, public opinion and the fractalization of the U.S. Antarctic policy, 1946-1959
Creators: name: Moore, JK
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The many specialists who address the background of the Antarctic Treaty of 1959 concur that the United States and Soviet Union set aside their own disputes for the sake of an internationalization agreement which devoted the world's last continent to peaceful scientific cooperation. While this is true and must be regarded as a formidable achievement, the treaty gains further significance when evaluated in light of the Cold War tensions which bore upon it. This thesis maintains that the controversy surrounding Antarctica reflected the patterns which at a global level threatened to embroil the superpowers in full-scale conflict. It contains previously published research which analyzes U.S. Antarctic policy in detail, and herein provides the groundwork for establishing links between U.S.-Soviet, U.S.-British and U.S.-Chilean relations at large and their relations in the far south, as well as between the U.S. internationalization proposals and U.S. national security policies. The \fractalization\" of U.S. Antarctic policy shifts emphasis from the policy itself to how Cold War diplomacy and public opinion bore upon it. Physical scientists regard objects as \"fractal\" when their structural complexity is maintained at all levels as in snowflakes or electronic transmissions. This provides an ideal metaphor for the analytical framework adopted herein."

Optimum Michell frames
Creators: name: Johnson, Eric William
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The theory underlying the design of minimum volume space frameworks is reviewed. Fundamental theorems and relations proposed and developed by Maxwell, Michell, Cox, Chan, Hemp, Johnson and Barnett are discussed and examined from a practical viewpoint. Two dimensional frames, which are close geometric approximations to the theoretical concepts of Michell, are defined and formulas established for their design and complete solution. Computer programmes are established for the analysis of pin jointed trusses having a wide range of parameters. The effect of changing parameters on the structural properties is discussed. Rigid frames are analyzed by the use of STRUDL, [STRUctural Design Language], a multi-purpose computer programme for the calculation of forces and displacements in rigid structures. The effects of biaxial stress in the joints and other deviations from the theoretical concept are examined. Comparison is made with other structural designs to establish the superiority and economy of the Michell design. Birefringent models are made, using a numerically controlled milling machine, and tested under load in a polariscope, to confirm the predicted stress levels in the members and stress concentrations in the joints. Examples are given of practical application of Michell space frames. The design of a high tension transmission tower and of a lightweight astronomical mirror support are considered. Alternative solutions to both problems are suggested to provide a basis for more detailed design.

description: We extend earlier work on traveling waves in premixed flames in a gravitationally stratified medium, subject to the Boussinesq approximation. For three-dimensional channels not aligned with the gravity direction and under the Dirichlet boundary conditions in the fluid velocity, it is shown that a non-planar traveling wave, corresponding to a non-zero reaction, exists, under an explicit condition relating the geometry of the crossection of the channel to the magnitude of the Prandtl and Rayleigh numbers, or when the advection term in the flow equations is neglected.

A mathematical study of plasticity.
Creators: name: Moore, John Charles
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis is primarily a mathematical treatise on plasticity in which the author has endeavoured to give a complete and systematic presentation of the subject. It begins with a general description of the observed mechanical behaviour of materials and from this emerges the concept of an 'ideal plastic material' which provides the physical model for the classical mathematical theory of plasticity... The final chapter of this thesis does not follow the 'plasticity' theme of the first four chapters. It is, however, included as an illustration of the numerical solution of the biharmonic equation. The finite difference method is used to solve the eccentric annulus problem for various combinations of boundary and loading conditions and some representative solutions are presented. (These solutions were obtained using the Elliott 503 digital computer at the University of Tasmania. and an ALGOL print-up of the author's computer program is included in Appendix 4).
