description: We discuss on the electromagnetic response of a polycrystalline sample of LaO_0.94F_0.06FeAs exposed to DC magnetic fields up to 10 kOe. The low- and high-frequency responses have been investigated by measuring the AC susceptibility at 100 kHz and the microwave surface resistance at 9.6 GHz. At low as well as high DC magnetic fields, the susceptibility strongly depends on the amplitude of the AC driving field, highlighting enhanced nonlinear effects. The field dependence of the AC susceptibility exhibits a magnetic hysteresis that can be justified considering the intragrain-field-penetration effects on the intergrain critical current density. The microwave surface resistance exhibits a clockwise magnetic hysteresis, which cannot be justified in the framework of the critical-state models of the Abrikosov-fluxon lattice; it may have the same origin as that detected in the susceptibility.

description: Sharp threshold-like transitions between two stable nuclear spin polarizations are observed in optically pumped individual InGaAs self-assembled quantum dots embedded in a Schottky diode when the bias applied to the diode is tuned. The abrupt transitions lead to the switching of the Overhauser field in the dot by up to 3 Tesla. The bias-dependent photoluminescence measurements reveal the importance of the electron-tunneling-assisted nuclear spin pumping. We also find evidence for the resonant LO-phonon-mediated electron co-tunneling, the effect controlled by the applied bias and leading to the reduction of the nuclear spin pumping rate.

Planar GaAs Gunn and field effect devices
Creators: name: Tucker, Trevor William
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Two types of devices, planar Gunn diodes and the negative resistance field effect transistors, have been investigated. Their fabrication, testing and properties are discussed. For the planar diode the Gunn domain velocity is predicted analytically and shown experimentally to decrease with, decreasing product of carrier concentration and diode thickness. A particular structure of GaAs FET which displays a static negative differential resistance (SNDR) characteristic without Gunn instability has been made. The mechanism of the SNDR is discussed and the device's uses in a number of circuits (oscillator, amplifier, phase-locked oscillator and bistable logic element) are described.
Empirical Constraints on Parton Energy Loss in Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions at RHIC

Year: 2008

description: We present empirical features of parton energy loss in nucleus-nucleus collisions at RHIC through studies of the spectra and nuclear modification factors ($R_{AA}$) for charged hadrons, neutral pions ($π^0$) and non-photonic electrons. The flat distribution of $R_{AA}$ at high transverse momentum ($p_{T}$) for a given collision centrality is consistent with a scenario where parton energy loss $Δp_{T}$ is proportional to $p_{T}$. The centrality dependence of the parton energy loss indicates the absence of path length dependence in the magnitude of energy loss. The lack of strong path length dependence suggests a dynamical picture where the dense partonic medium undergoes rapid expansion and the density of the medium falls rapidly in the first a few Fermi interval, which may be much shorter than the full path length. Implications of the empirical constraints on the parton energy loss will also be discussed.

description: Low-energy experiments involving kaon, B-meson, D-meson, and hyperon flavor-changing neutral transitions have confirmed the loop-induced flavor-changing neutral current (FCNC) picture of the standard model (SM). The continuing study of these processes is essential to further refine this picture and ultimately understand the flavor dynamics. In this paper we consider deviations from the SM in the charm sector and their effect on FCNC processes. Specifically, we parameterize new physics in terms of left- and right-handed anomalous couplings of the W boson to the charm quark. We present a comprehensive study of existing constraints and point out those measurements that are most sensitive to new physics of this type.

Spectral shock waves that precede this asymptotic limit exhibit universal scaling with N_c, with indices that can be related to Berry indices for diffraction catastrophes.

A study of quadratic processing for passive receiving arrays
Creators: name: Turner, Ross Maclean
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This work is an investigation and development of theory for the quadratic processing of arrays with Gaussian signals and noise. The quadratic processor is characterized by a weighting matrix, q, in the quadratic form, x[sup t]qx, where x is a column vector with its i[sup th] component the filtered output of the i[sup th] receiving element. The study is restricted to linear arrays of equally spaced elements. The conditions are established whereby such a quadratic processor has a specified directive pattern. The directive properties of the quadratic processor are determined and it is shown that the optimum pattern has side lobes which are 3 dB lower than those of the power pattern of the optimum Dolph-Chebyshev array. The versatility of the quadratic processor for pattern synthesis is demonstrated. It is shown that specification of the directive pattern of the processor is not sufficient to specify the elements of the weighting matrix, q, and these additional degrees of freedom can be used to reduce the output noise variance. The performance of the quadratic processor in the presence of noise is studied for a point source model for the background noise. The resulting signal- to-noise ratio is shown to depend on the q matrix through two performance functions, P[sub V](q) and P[sub A](q). It is shown that √ P[sub V](q) and P[sub A](q) become inversely proportional to array directive gain when q is chosen so that the quadratic processor reduces to the square-law-detected array. However, for the general quadratic processor, it is shown that these performance functions are not proportional to array directive gain but may be considered as ail extension to the concept of array gain. Two methods for the reduction of the output noise variance are studied, based on a minimization of P[sub V](q) and P[sub A](q) subject to the constraint of specified pattern function and resulting in solution q matrices, q[sub V] and q[sub A]. An approximate method for the minimization of the minimum detectable signal is given based on an interpolation between q[sub V] and q[sub A]. Numerical results are presented showing how the performance functions vary with array element spacing, steering angle, array size, bandwidth and pattern type. Comparisons are made between the quadratic processor and conventional processors on the basis of the performance functions and signal-to-noise ratio. A q matrix which is maximally uniform subject to the pattern constraints is shown to maximize the signal-to-receivernoise ratio and to maximize the signal-to-background noise ratio for a half-wavelength spaced narrow-band broadside array and to provide performance nearly as good as the optimum quadratic processor for element spacings greater than half-a wavelength. Similar results are established for the endfire array for element spacings greater than or equal to a quarter of a wavelength.

description: The electronic properties of the quarter-filled extended Peierls-Holstein-Hubbard model that includes lattice distortions and molecular deformations are investigated theoretically using the bosonization approach. We predict the existence of a wide variety of charge-elastic phases depending of the values of the Peierls and Holstein couplings. We include the effect of the Peierls deformation in the nearest-neighbor repulsion V, that may be present in real materials where Coulomb interactions depend strongly on the distance, and we show that the phase diagram changes substantially for large V when this term is taken into account.

At higher temperatures the intrinsic localized mode gains intensity. Higher energy inelastic neutron and x-ray scattering measurements on a room-temperature NaI crystal indicate that the creation energy of the ground state of the intrinsic localized mode is 299 meV.

Agency and decision-making with advocacy support : a qualitative study of people with dementia living alone
Creators: name: Dwan, CA
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis explores the power of people with dementia who live alone to participate in decision-making processes with advocacy support. Although the benefits of consumer participation in healthcare decisions include improvements in health outcomes, greater emotional well-being and long-term cost savings, people with dementia who live alone are frequently marginalised in the decision-making process. This is significant given that this group is increasing in number and is over represented in statistics on early admission to institutional care. This study specifically examined how dementia affected the agency of people living alone, and how a dementia advocacy service influenced their participation in decision-making. The study employed multiple methods to collect qualitative data from nine people with dementia living alone who have used advocacy services, four dementia advocates and twenty-one healthcare professionals involved in meeting care assessment needs and in referring clients to the advocacy service. A critical realist theoretical framework and a process of retroduction were used to develop an explanatory theory. This study found that dementia significantly constrained agency and led to a narrowing of the social world of participants with dementia. Orientations of agency towards the present and future improved power of agency as did a person's belief in their ability to take action, and advocacy was shown to positively influence these factors. Participation in decision-making was found to be extremely important to participants with dementia but sociocultural factors restricted their participation. Lack of understanding of the variation in decision-making capacity associated with dementia and a strong cultural focus on risk avoidance resulted in low prioritisation of decision-making involvement by healthcare professionals. In contrast, advocacy facilitated participation through trusting relationships, spending time to understand the person's wishes and promoting the rights of the person with dementia living alone. These findings suggest the need for healthcare services to focus on enhancing agency, to encourage supportive decision-making, and to balance safety and emotional consequences of decisions when working with people with dementia living alone. Further, although advocacy provided benefits in protecting and facilitating participation, future success is contingent upon the establishment of a common understanding of advocacy and the advocate role and a universal approach to capacity and risk assessments.
Shear Modes, Criticality and Extremal Black Holes

description: We consider a (2+1)-dimensional field theory, assumed to be holographically dual to the extremal Reissner-Nordstrom AdS(4) black hole background, and calculate the retarded correlators of charge (vector) current and energy-momentum (tensor) operators at finite momentum and frequency. We show that, similar to what was observed previously for the correlators of scalar and spinor operators, these correlators exhibit emergent scaling behavior at low frequency. We numerically compute the electromagnetic and gravitational quasinormal frequencies (in the shear channel) of the extremal Reissner-Nordstrom AdS(4) black hole corresponding to the spectrum of poles in the retarded correlators. The picture that emerges is quite simple: there is a branch cut along the negative imaginary frequency axis, and a series of isolated poles corresponding to damped excitations. All of these poles are always in the lower half complex frequency plane, indicating stability. We show that this analytic structure can be understood as the proper limit of finite temperature results as T is taken to zero holding the chemical potential fixed.

Large D-instanton effects in string theory
Creators: name: Pioline, Boris
name: Vandoren, Stefan
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: By reduction along the time direction, black holes in 4 dimensions yield instantons in 3 dimensions. Each of these instantons contributes individually at order $\exp(-|Q|/g_s)$ to certain protected couplings in the three-dimensional effective action, but the number of distinct instantons is expected to be equal (or comparable) to the number of black hole micro-states, i.e. of order $\exp(Q^2)$. The same phenomenon also occurs for certain protected couplings in four dimensions, such as the hypermultiplet metric in type II string theories compactified on a Calabi-Yau threefold. In either case, the D-instanton series is therefore asymptotic, much like the perturbative expansion in any quantum field theory. By using a Borel-type resummation method, adapted to the Gaussian growth of the D-instanton series, we find that the total D-instanton sum has an inherent ambiguity of order $\exp(-1/g_s^2)$. We further suggest that this ambiguity can be lifted by including Kaluza-Klein monopole or NS5-brane instantons.

description: A vast variety of real-life networks display the ubiquitous presence of scale-free phenomenon and small-world effect, both of which play a significant role in the dynamical processes running on networks. Although various dynamical processes have been investigated in scale-free small-world networks, analytical research about random walks on such networks is much less. In this paper, we will study analytically the scaling of the mean first-passage time (MFPT) for random walks on scale-free small-world networks. To this end, we first map the classical Koch fractal to a network, called Koch network. According to this proposed mapping, we present an iterative algorithm for generating the Koch network, based on which we derive closed-form expressions for the relevant topological features, such as degree distribution, clustering coefficient, average path length, and degree correlations. The obtained solutions show that the Koch network exhibits scale-free behavior and small-world effect. Then, we investigate the standard random walks and trapping issue on the Koch network. Through the recurrence relations derived from the structure of the Koch network, we obtain the exact scaling for the MFPT. We show that in the infinite network order limit, the MFPT grows linearly with the number of all nodes in the network. The obtained analytical results are corroborated by direct extensive numerical calculations. In addition, we also determine the scaling efficiency exponents characterizing random walks on the Koch network.

Automaton and competence aspects of Piagetian logical concepts
Creators: name: Toussaint, Nelly Adelina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Simultaneous measures were obtained of (a) the Ss ' level of attainment on automaton variables (foresight and hindsight abilities and size of computing space) theoretically presumed to be necessary to the attainment of logical structures, and (b) the Ss' level of attainment in logical tasks belonging to the same conceptual family (multiplication of classes, multiplication of relations, seriation, and transitivity). Children from Grade 1 and 2 served as Ss. The task demands of the different logical tasks were equated in terms of the competence as well as automaton demands. Considerations about the distinction between operative and figurative aspects of intelligence were incorporated into the testing methods. The results indicated there was a strong relationship between the Ss’ performances across all the tasks. The overall findings support Piaget's theoretical conceptions about the relationships of the variables tested. Some of the theoretical and empirical implications of these findings are discussed.
Environmental and genetic contributors to cognitive reserve
Creators: name: Ward, DD
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: An individual's rate of age-related cognitive decline and risk for later-life dementia is influenced by environmental and genetic factors. One protective environmental factor that may mitigate cognitive decline is cognitive reserve (CR) and is generated by participation in tasks that involve complex cognitive engagement. Two genes that may influence CR through their associations with synaptic plasticity are apolipoprotein E (APOE) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Participants from the on-going Tasmanian Healthy Brain Project, a longitudinal investigation into whether an intervention of later-life tertiary education increases CR, contributed to the data analysed in this thesis. It was aimed: to develop two operational measures of CR; to quantify the cognitive implications of variation in APOE and BDNF Val66Met; and to detect genetic interactions with CR. Comprehensive neuropsychological assessments were conducted as part of the baseline testing for Tasmanian Healthy Brain Project participants. APOE and BDNF Val66Met polymorphisms were determined through analysis of saliva samples. The statistical analyses yielded three main results. First, factor analysis was successful in identifying latent variables in both prior and current models of CR. Second, while variation in APOE or BDNF did not produce significant main effects in any assessed cognitive domain, an APOE x BDNF interaction was present in episodic memory function. Third, BDNF moderated the association between CR and executive function, with a significantly reduced association between the variables present in BDNF Met carriers. Overall, this investigation developed a method of assessing CR that can provide a comprehensive estimate of an individual's CR and furthered knowledge on the effect single genes exert on healthy cognitive function. The most important finding to emerge was a CR x BDNF interaction in cognitive function, which suggests that CR-based interventions aimed at delaying dementia onset may have a higher efficacy in BDNF Val homozygotes than in BDNF Met carriers.

description: We systematically compare filtering methods used to extract topological excitations from lattice gauge configurations. We show that there is a strong correlation of the topological charge densities obtained by APE and Stout smearing. Furthermore, a first quantitative analysis of quenched and dynamical configurations reveals a crucial difference of their topological structure: the topological charge density is more fragmented, when dynamical quarks are present. This fact also implies that smearing has to be handled with great care, not to destroy these characteristic structures.

description: In this paper we present a mathematical analysis of the photoelectric effect for one-electron atoms in the framework of non-relativistic QED. We treat photo-ionization as a scattering process where in the remote past an atom in its ground state is targeted by one or several photons, while in the distant future the atom is ionized and the electron escapes to spacial infinity. Our main result shows that the ionization probability, to leading order in the fine-structure constant, $α$, is correctly given by formal time-dependent perturbation theory, and, moreover, that the dipole approximation produces an error of only sub-leading order in $α$. In this sense, the dipole approximation is rigorously justified.

description: We present a new calculation of the $D\toπ$ and $D \to K$ form factors from QCD light-cone sum rules. The $\overline{MS}$ scheme for the $c$-quark mass is used and the input parameters are updated. The results are $f^+_{Dπ}(0)= 0.67^{+0.10}_{-0.07}$, $f^+_{DK}(0)=0.75^{+0.11}_{-0.08}$ and $f^+_{Dπ}(0)/f^+_{DK}(0)=0.88 \pm 0.05$. Combining the calculated form factors with the latest CLEO data, we obtain $|V_{cd}|=0.225\pm 0.005 \pm 0.003 ^{+0.016}_{-0.012}$ and $|V_{cd}|/|V_{cs}|= 0.236\pm 0.006\pm 0.003\pm 0.013$ where the first and second errors are of experimental origin and the third error is due to the estimated uncertainties of our calculation. We also evaluate the form factors $f^-_{Dπ}$ and $f^-_{DK}$ and predict the slope parameters at $q^2=0$. Furthermore, calculating the form factors from the sum rules at $q^2<0$, we fit them to various parameterizations. After analytic continuation, the shape of the $D\to π,K $ form factors in the whole semileptonic region is reproduced, in a good agreement with experiment.

description: We present spectroscopic observations of the host galaxy and explosion site of the long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 020819. We determine a metallicity for this host environment of log(O/H) + 12 = 9.0 +/- 0.1, by far the highest metallicity determined for a long-duration GRB to date. We compare the metallicity and other properties of the GRB 020819 host environment to existing observations of long-duration GRB host galaxies, and consider the implications that this metallicity has for our understanding of long-duration GRB progenitor scenarios. We also consider how this unusually high metallicity may relate to the status of GRB 020819 as a "dark" burst, with no detected optical afterglow.

QCD sum rules with nonlocal condensates and the spacelike pion form factor

description: We present a detailed investigation of the spacelike pion's electromagnetic form factor using three-point QCD sum rules that exclusively involve nonlocal condensates. Our main methodological tools are a spectral density which includes $O(α_s)$ corrections, a suitably improved Gaussian ansatz to model the distribution of the average momentum of quarks in the QCD vacuum, and a perturbative scheme that avoids Landau singularities. Using this framework, we obtain predictions for the pion form factor together with error estimates originating from intrinsic theoretical uncertainties owing to the perturbative expansion and the nonperturbative method applied. We also discuss our results in comparison with other calculations, in particular, with those following from the AdS/QCD correspondence. We find good agreement of our predictions with measurements in the range of momenta covered by the existing experimental data between 1-10 GeV$^2$.

Homegroan girls : a visual investigation into the bad girl stereotype within popular soft porn website culture
Creators: name: Winterbottom, T
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This project aimed to develop a visual language to explore the phenomena of the bad girl stereotype in popular culture. The term bad girl reflects a change in contemporary attitudes towards gender roles and identity. Women of all ages are taking control of their own sexual image through examination, and subversion, of concepts that carried negative connotations in a patriarchal society. In particular this project focuses on the use and effects of digital technology and how this has enabled women to participate in a revision of established notions of gender roles in contemporary society. Through devices like digital photography, home computers and Internet access, women can explore, deconstruct and play with their own 'image'. This marks a significant change in the history of the 'pin up girl' and the influence and domination of the male gaze on the female sexual aesthetic. Previously guys would send photos of their girlfriends into trashy magazines like Picture. But now in their own surroundings ordinary girls are both posing for the camera and taking the photographs. This selfexploration and reclaiming of sexuality is even more prominent on the Internet with websites like suicidegirls.com and digitalgirly.com The project has strong links, both formally and culturally, to pop artists Andy Warhol and Allen Jones, photographers such as Nan Goldin, (whose work recorded the truelife adventures of her mates 'living on the edge') and contemporary artists Tracey Emin and Sarah Lucas. These artists transgressive use of smutty tabloid humour and investigations into female stereotypes play a vital role in the construction of this project. The works evolve from digital photographs and footage taken during photo shoots with girlfriends being 'bad' around the house. Bad girls acting out their web porn fantasies are depicted within everyday domestic surroundings. The three stages of the research have all involved an exploration in collage techniques. The project is a hybrid of old and new techniques including painting, drawing, photography, animation and web design, enabling the outcomes to weave in and out of the public digital arena and the more conventional gallery space. The results of my investigation are represented by a series of digital and vinyl cut out works, animations, digital prints and the homegroan girls website.
Multi-Scale CLEAN: A comparison of its performance against classical CLEAN in galaxies using THINGS

description: A practical evaluation of the Multi-Scale CLEAN algorithm is presented. The data used in the comparisons are taken from The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey (THINGS). The implementation of Multi-Scale CLEAN in the CASA software package is used, although comparisons are made against the very similar Multi-Resolution CLEAN algorithm implemented in AIPS. Both are compared against the classical CLEAN algorithm (as implemented in AIPS). The results of this comparison show that several of the well-known characteristics and issues of using classical CLEAN are significantly lessened (or eliminated completely) when using the Multi-Scale CLEAN algorithm. Importantly, Multi-Scale CLEAN reduces significantly the effects of the clean `bowl' caused by missing short-spacings, and the `pedestal' of low-level un-cleaned flux (which affects flux scales and resolution). Multi-Scale CLEAN can clean down to the noise level without the divergence suffered by classical CLEAN. We discuss practical applications of the added contrast provided by Multi-Scale CLEAN using two selected astronomical examples: HI holes in the interstellar medium and anomalous gas structures outside the main galactic disk.

On the self-weight sag of plate-like structures with application to mirror substrate design
Creators: name: Talapatra, Dipak Chandra
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The thesis investigates the self-weight sag of plate-like structures with application to astronomical mirrors. The exact analytical solution for the self-weight deflection of a circular disc is obtained by superposition of various elementary solutions due to Love, and the validity of the existing approximate procedures is examined. Guided by the concept of arch-like structures for optimum design, a finite element formulation for an axi-symmetrical solid is developed from first principles in terms of triangular ring-elements. Solutions are obtained for various structural configurations constructed within the enevlope of the disc. The superiority of arch-type designs over solid discs with respect to deflection and weight is established and their attractive potential demonstrated. The extensive experimental programme involving frozen stress photoelasticity in conjunction with immersion analogy of gravitational stress and fringe multiplication, clearly emphasizes some of the limitations of this approach. It establishes that a success of the method is dependent upon the availability of a sufficiently stress free araldite. Although not generally followed by stress analysts, a direct measurement of frozen body-force induced displacements is attempted. The phenomenon of continuous polymerization of the model material, hitherto overlooked by photoelasticians, appears to play a decisive role in the measurement of minute self-weight induced deformations. The direct use of silicone rubber models successfully determines the displacements in mirrors, in the form of solid disc and arched dome, and establishes the superiority of the latter.
Evaluation of glaciothermal engines for the generation of polar renewable energy
Creators: name: Smith, Zane
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Providing reliable power services to remote Arctic and Antarctic locations presents a formidable task. Delivery of fossil fuel poses expensive logistical challenges, especially for sites subject to restricted seasonal access. Locally renewable wind and solar energy resources help to supplement diesel and other hydrocarbon fuels, but the search continues for viable energy alternatives. Latent heat from freezing seawater or meltwater can be used to boil a high pressure organic working fluid and drive a fluid expander to generate electrical power. The extreme chill of cold polar air provides the essential heat sink to recondense the exhaust vapour. These sources provide an opportunity to generate power from seawater using glaciothermal power cycles. Ambient temperatures may fall below -80 ¬¨‚àûC during winter at elevated interior sites, and as low as -60 ¬¨‚àûC at high latitude ice shelf sites. A large amount of heat is released when water freezes (~335 MJ per tonne of ice formed) ‚Äö- equivalent to energy released from a liquid water heat source with a temperature difference of 80 ¬¨‚àûC. Nett thermal efficiencies of 9‚ÄövÑvÆ11% at interior sites could be achieved if ice-slurry and tube-fin condenser technologies are properly adapted for use in glaciothermal power cycles. This thesis reviews earlier research work and proposes specific designs for a practical glaciothermal engine that can generate power from freezing water. The performance of a 250 kW engine was studied and the feasibility of using such an engine to provide power at remote cold climate sites was investigated. The conceptual device provides a convenient way to explore the behaviour of various processes intrinsic to the operation of a glaciothermal engine cycle. The analysis includes investigation of underlying physical processes and device working principles, heat transfer modelling, and optimisation of an ice-in-tube glaciothermal boiler, twin-screw expander, tube-fin condenser and associated devices. Year-round performance of the glaciothermal power generator was investigated around Antarctica, providing an overview of potential applications of such a device in Antarctica. Mean annual temperatures across the Antarctic continent were mapped using regression analysis of ice sheet temperature data. The analysis demonstrates that glaciothermal power generation can potentially contribute to providing sustainable energy in very cold climate conditions.
