description: The design, manufacture and characterisation of an inexpensive, temperature controlled vacuum chamber with millikelvin stability for electrical transport measurements at and near room temperature is reported. A commercially available Peltier device and high-precision temperature controller are used to actively heat and cool the sample space. The system was designed to minimise thermal fluctuations in spintronic and semiconductor transport measurements but the general principle is relevant to a wide range of electrical measurement applications. The main issues overcome are the mounting of a sample with a path of high thermal conductivity through to the Peltier device and the heat-sinking of said Peltier device inside of a vacuum. A copper slug is used as the mount for a sample and a large copper block is used as a thermal feedthrough before a passive heatsink is used to cool this block. The Peltier device provides 20 W of heating and cooling power achieving a maximum range of 30 K below and 40 K above the ambient temperature. The temperature stability is within 5 mK at all set points with even better performance above ambient temperature. A vacuum pressure of 1e-8 hPa is achievable. As a demonstration, we present experimental results from current-induced electrical switching of a CuMnAs thin film. Transport measurements with and without the Peltier control emphasise the importance of a constant temperature in these applications. The thermal lag between the sample space measurement and the sample itself is observed through magnetoresistance values measured during a temperature sweep.

description: Phosphogypsum (PG) is common by-product of chemical fertilizers plants. However, it has limited use in local construction industry. At the same time the deposits of natural gypsum will depleted in several decades and alternative waste by-product gypsum will be required. The main disadvantage of phosphogypsum binder is the need in neutralization of harmful admixtures, aggregation of PG particles during grinding and high water demand. Therefore, there is need in modifying admixtures to facilitate the manufacturing process and achieve sufficient performance characteristics of binder. The paper reports on an investigation of the influence of composite modifying admixture, consisted of slacked lime and superplastisizer, on water-binder ratio, strength properties and peculiarities of structure forming of the binder. Compressive strength of specimens made of modified binders varied from 20 to 24 MPa and bending strength varied from 10 to 12 MPa at the age of 28 days. Per scanning electron microscope (SEM) data, the morphology of CaSO4·2H2O was not related to the type and portion of admixtures. However, at the application of optimal values of superplasticizer and slaked lime denser disposition of crystals is observed.

description: Neural network models have a number of hyperparameters that must be chosen along with their architecture. This can be a heavy burden on a novice user, choosing which architecture and what values to assign to parameters. In most cases, default hyperparameters and architectures are used. Significant improvements to model accuracy can be achieved through the evaluation of multiple architectures. A process known as Neural Architecture Search (NAS) may be applied to automatically evaluate a large number of such architectures. A system integrating open source tools for Neural Architecture Search (OpenNAS), in the classification of images, has been developed as part of this research. OpenNAS takes any dataset of grayscale, or RBG images, and generates Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures based on a range of metaheuristics using either an AutoKeras, a transfer learning or a Swarm Intelligence (SI) approach. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) are used as the SI algorithms. Furthermore, models developed through such metaheuristics may be combined using stacking ensembles. In the context of this paper, we focus on training and optimizing CNNs using the Swarm Intelligence (SI) components of OpenNAS. Two major types of SI algorithms, namely PSO and ACO, are compared to see which is more effective in generating higher model accuracies. It is shown, with our experimental design, that the PSO algorithm performs better than ACO. The performance improvement of PSO is most notable with a more complex dataset. As a baseline, the performance of fine-tuned pre-trained models is also evaluated.

description: A two dimensional system with extra degrees of freedom, such as spin and valley, is of great interest in the study of quantum phase transitions. The critical condition when a transition between different multicomponent fractional quantum Hall states appears is one of the very few junctions for many body problems between theoretical calculations and experiments. In this work, we present that uniaxial strain induces pseudospin transitions of composite fermions in a two-dimensional hole gas. Determined from transport behavior, strain along <111> effectively changes pseudospin energy levels. We deduce that diagonal strain dominates these variations. Our experiment provides a wedge for manipulating two dimensional interacting systems mechanically.

description: The purpose of this research is to investigate the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of an eco-friendly binder based on hydrated lime Ca(OH)2 and optimized sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA). It is a lightweight binder performed with low energy consumption and low CO2 emission materials. The SCBA was sieved and the physical and chemical effects of removing the coarse particles present in this ash were analyzed. Experimental investigations revealed that sieving procedure improves both finesse and reactivity of the raw SCBA and increases by 30 % the compressive strength of the binder based on SCBA and Ca(OH)2.

description: Bamboo is a natural material having a fast reproduction and excellent mechanical properties. However, when a natural material in general and bamboo in particular are expected to be a construction material, their durability is always questionable. Indeed, it is well known that these materials do not possess the same performance at the long-term, comparing to industrial materials. A sustainable solution for the bamboo treatment still needs to be investigated. The present study explores the oil-heated treatment with different types of oils like flax or sunflower oils. The present investigation concentrates on mechanical properties and durability of treated bamboos, to assess the effectiveness of this treatment approach. First, bamboo specimens were treated with perspective to increase their durability. Eleven sets with different conditions of treatment were tested: treatment at 100°C or 180°C; with flax oil or sunflower oil, or without oil; treatment time of 1h, 2h or 3h; different cooling methods and cooling times. Then, mechanical and durability tests were carried out on untreated and treated bamboos: uniaxial compression tests, 3 points bending tests, water immersion tests and humidity tests. The results showed that some tested treatment method could increase both the durability and the compressive strength of treated specimens, compared to untreated bamboo.

description: Providing equitable and effective English literacy education for Indigenous students learning English as an Additional Language and/or Dialect (EAL/D) is a longstanding challenge for education reformers in the Northern Territory of Australia. In 2004, in an unprecedented attempt to change the teaching practices of 700 teachers and rapidly improve the English literacy achievement of 10,000 Indigenous students in 100 mostly remote schools, the Australian and Northern Territory governments committed to scaling-up Accelerated Literacy. By the end of 2009, when funding for scaling-up AL ceased, these metrics were reportedly met however the more ambitious goals of accelerating students’ English literacy achievement and sustaining system-wide change proved difficult to achieve. Although scaling-up English literacy reform is on the rise no research currently exists that examines the process in Australian Indigenous contexts from the perspectives of the reformers involved. Attempts to scale-up education reform elsewhere show that it is a dynamic and multidimensional process shaped by reformers. To understand and explain reformers’ experiences of scaling-up AL I adopted constructivist grounded theory methods and the theoretical lens of symbolic interactionism. To collect rich data I interviewed 34 reformers using intensive interviewing techniques and obtained hundreds of documents from the reformers. Through a process of coding, memo writing, diagramming and constant comparison I analysed the data and uncovered the underlying meanings reformers ascribed to scaling-up AL. From this I constructed conceptual frameworks and a substantive theory grounded in the data to explain reformers’ experiences. This research found that scaling-up AL was experienced by reformers as a political and ideological quest to overcome the legacies of a history of Indigenous education policy and practice failure, experienced in six evolving phases: 1) Indigenous education, a history of failure?; 2) grasping AL as the solution; 3) scaling-up a pilot project; 4) faltering implementation; 5) improving implementation; and 6) winding down. The phases explain how reformers shaped the process of scaling-up AL as they adapted to contingencies according to their contested beliefs about English literacy approaches for Indigenous students learning EAL/D and conflicting conceptions of scaling-up. This resulted in disunity, and in turn, ineffective implementation. These findings point to a need for collaborative approaches to scaling-up English literacy reform in Indigenous education contexts that cut across all levels of implementation and enable reformers to examine how they shape process.

description: In this deliverable we report our preliminary findings regarding the Industry Commons Translator resources (Profile, Best Practice, Directory). The content of this deliverable is based on stakeholder consultations and involvement of experts in bilateral exchanges, a Translator Session in the first OntoCommons global workshop and a dedicated expert meeting on the Translator role and profile.Resulting from the discussions, the preliminary name used in the OntoCommons DoA (Industry Commons Translator) has been changed to Knowledge Management Translator (for Industry Commons), to both limit the role to a more manageable scope (focussed on ontology-based data documentation) and to make it easier to understand for communities less familiar with the Industry Commons concept.It is recognised that the skillset of a Knowledge Management Translator is extensive and that there would be very few people today that could fill such a role. Bridging many fields, the profile involves familiarity with all parts of the OntoCommons EcoSystem (OCES), i.e., Top-, Middle- and Domain ontologies as well as the OCES toolkit, i.e., familiarity (if not at a high technical level) with what is by some described as Knowledge Engineering, as well as relevant domain knowledge and business awareness, all combined with excellent communication and team working skills. Given that the required skill set is extensive, it is likely that in practical terms the role will be fulfilled by a team of Translators working on a case rather than a “Jack-of-all-Trades”.Best practises have been suggested by adapting those elaborated for the Materials Modelling Translators.In addition to this Deliverable, OntoCommons beneficiaries and external experts are cooperating on a White Paper which will elaborate the profile and best practises in depth, establish the role with authority, support wider dissemination and stimulate further discussion as a basis for the second Translator Workshop and final Deliverable in this Task.

description: Recently, first candidates for low-lying isovector states in the octupole sector were suggested. The unambiguous identification of those states will contribute to the decomposition of the octupole-octupole residual interaction in an isoscalar and isovector part. This will help us understand the octupole degree of freedom. In ¹⁴⁴Nd the 3⁻ state at 2778 keV is a good candidate for such a “mixed-symmetry’' octupole state. In order to clarify the nature of this state, a ¹⁴³Nd(n, γ)-experiment was conducted with the EXILL-setup. Following neutron capture the 3⁻ states are populated and EXILL provides the opportunity to determine the multipole-mixing ratios of the 3i⁻→3₁⁻ transitions. For the transition from the “mixed-symmetry” octupole state to the symmetric 3₁⁻ state we expect a strong M1 component.

Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University
Year: 2000

description: Costs for treating End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients were estimated for the financial years 1996/97 and 1997/98, using a hospital costing model. A total of 165 patients were treated: 101Aboriginal and 64 non-Aboriginal, at a total cost of $12.4m in this two-year period. These 165 patients, around 0.7% of total inpatients, used up 31.6% of 59,568 episodes (18,527) and 8.8% of total inpatient $140 millions ($12.4 m) in the Top End Hospitals of the NT in the study period. Among $1:2.4m, $9.5m (75%) was used in routine haemodialysis treatment (RHI) and $2.9m (25%) in hospitalisation. Whole year RHT per patient in the study was cos ted at approximately $82,000 in 1996/97 and $88,000 in 1997/98. The combined average cost per RHT in two years was $524, or $78,600 per patient completing a year's treatment. Hospitalisations for comorbidities occurred in 86% of Aboriginal and 39% of non-Aboriginal patients. For non-Aboriginals, the average cost per patient was $8,229 (with 1.2 admissions and 13 length of stay). For Aboriginals, it was $23,140 (with 4.1 admissions and 35 days). All these statistics were significantly higher in Aboriginals than in non-Aboriginals (p <0.05). After adjusted for patient year, there was still statistical significant between two groups, which was $41,648 for Aboriginals vs. $21,295 for non-Aboriginals (p<0.05). Aboriginals tended to be commonly admitted for fluid overload, respiratory diseases and dialysis complications, while non-Aboriginals were admitted for dialysis-related complications, access procedures and cardiovascular disease. But from cost concerns, septicaemia, dialysis-related complications, respiratory diseases and skin diseases were strongly related to the overall costs in the Aboriginal patients. In the non-Aboriginals, cardiovascular disease, fluid, electrolyte and acid disorders and digestive diseases were highly related to the overall costs.

description: The thermal treatment process of bamboo or wood can be used to improve the mechanical properties and enhance the dimensional stability. The aim of this work was to investigate the mechanical properties of the bamboo Dendrocalamus asper after thermal treatment using a microwave-assisted oven (MO) and a conventional furnace (CF), normally used for this purpose. In the present study, prismatic samples of bamboo were heat treated in the presence of air at the temperatures of 120, 140 and 160°C with heating rate of 1°C/min and isotherm of 10 min. The treatment conditions were evaluated through axial compression tests, density and mass change. The bamboo in the as-received condition showed a mean moisture content of 92.65 %. The experimental results indicated that in average, 51 % more weight loss is observed using the MO than the CF process at the same temperature. However, the compression tests showed similar mechanical resistance after heat treatment in the MO and CF at 120 °C, with a modulus of elasticity MOE of 4.68 GPa and 4.73 GPa and compressive strength MOR of 77.41 MPa and 83.24 MPa respectively. These results suggest an increase of the stiffness and strength after the conducted heat treatments in comparison with the untreated bamboo, which showed a MOE of 3.40 GPa and a MOR of 73.67 MPa. The results of this study showed that the effects of the microwave interfered in the process of removal of compounds with low polarity, without compromising the structure of the material. The performed heat treatments provided materials with similar mechanical characteristics at different treatment temperatures.

description: After 20 years since the Brazilian citizens went to the polls to choose the regime that would be valid in the country, the discussions between the presidential and parliamentary regimes are still in the agenda. In this context, this paper intents to perform an analysis on the democratic bases of the provisional measures in Brazil considering the Herbert Döring and Georde Tsebelis lessons. These authors have opposing views about the democratic legitimacy of legislative process considering the differences between presidential and parliamentary regimes. First, this paper intents to establish concepts and characteristics of provisional measures in Brazil. After that, the paper discusses the theories proposed by both authors and tries to conclude in which measure they can contribute to the discussion regarding provisional measures in Brazilian Law.

Subjects: subject: 530 Physics

description: Photoelectron and autoionization spectroscopy are widespread tools to analyze the molecular electronic structure. An unambiguous assignment of the experimental data is often only possible with support from theoretical modeling. Unfortunately, the quantum mechanical simulation of the outgoing electron is not feasible for many scientifically interesting molecules. This thesis suggests a spherically symmetric continuum orbital model that takes into account the spherically averaged molecular potential to improve the description of the outgoing electrons.
Responses to intermittent high intensity activity in tropical conditions and the development of pre-cooling protocols
Creators: name: Brearley, Matthew Bernard
Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University
Year: 2006

description: Intermittent, high intensity activity is particularly susceptible to excess heat storage, while sports with mandatory protective clothing and/or rules that limit fluid consumption are likely to limit heat loss. This thesis therefore examined the physiological and perceptual responses to V8 Supercar driving and limited overs cricket in tropical conditions. Despite all four drivers receiving cooled air to their helmets and three drivers also utilising torso cooling, post-race mean (SD) core temperature was 39.0 (0.4)oC causing them to feel hot and uncomfortable. Batsmen and bowlers’ core temperature increased rapidly during short spells and although the sweat rates of 0.72 – 1.11L.h-1 were moderate, there were instances of substantial dehydration. The data of these field investigations demonstrated that physiological and perceptual strain result from relatively short bouts of physical activity in tropical conditions. Three pre-cooling methods prior to intermittent high intensity activity in simulated tropical conditions were then assessed. Thirty minutes of water bath (28 – 25oC) pre-cooling and twenty minutes of rest during instrumentation resulted in a Trectal of 36.7oC compared to 37.2 – 37.4oC for the air jacket, control and ice jacket trials (p=0.000). An intermittent cycling protocol subsequently increased Trectal to 38.9oC for the air jacket, control and ice jacket trials, that was higher than the 38.6oC of the water bath trials (p=0.000) and contributed to the higher body heat storage of the water bath trials (p=0.000). Time to exhaustion at 100% V . O2max following the cycling protocol was not different between trials (p=0.992). Attenuated thermal strain via lower Trectal following cool water immersion was therefore demonstrated. Water bath pre-cooling augmented heat storage reserve that increased the margin for attainment of hyperthermic internal temperatures, and therefore water bath precooling is recommended to minimise physiological and perceptual strain during intermittent high intensity activity in tropical conditions.

Basé sur une analyse empirique et déductive assise sur une recherche documentaire, exploratoire et descriptive, on peut conclure que la crise économique est une crise liée au développement durable, car elle affecte la satisfaction des besoins de la population actuelle et compromet la capacité de répondre aux besoins des générations futures, et devient, ainsi, une interpellation pour sauver l´être humain en tant que sujet constitutionel de l´environnement et non pas seulement un homo economicus.

In this context, it is clear that technological advances become unsustainable before the depletion of natural resources. The idea of risk, which transmits natural uncertainty requires a new form of providing judicial protection by the State. The protection of the environment goods demands understanding of the finiteness of resources, to ensure their access to future generations. The risks of technological evolution demonstrate the need for breaking the traditional dogmatic, requiring new strategies for transnational governance and production of law.

description: The sustainability issue raised in major environmental meetings involves the maintenance of environmental quality for present and future generations. The challenge is to establish the harmonious coexistence between man, the environment and other living beings, considering the difficulties present in a global society of risks. The concern with the situation of non-human animal is old and widespread among scholars. There are several positions, among them, those who argue that the non-human animals would be "things" and, thus, they would not possess rights, and also those ones who analyze the issue under the biocentric approach, latter placing the animal and its own nature as members of a moral community, being considered as subjects of a life and, therefore, subjects of rights. Another great discussion that presents is the extent of the dignity of human life beyond. Within this perspective is that this article develops.

description: Adaptive behavior scales are vital in assessing children and adolescents who experience a range of disabling conditions in school settings. This article presents the results of an evaluation of the design characteristics, norming, scale characteristics, reliability and validity evidence, and bias identification studies supporting 14 norm-referenced, informant-based interviews and rating scales designed to measure adaptive behaviors. To derive these results, the manuals for each of these scales were reviewed using a standardized coding procedure, and information about each scale was double-coded by reviewers. Findings reveal that several evidence-based adaptive behavior scales are available to school psychologists. Concluding recommendations address selection and use of adaptive behavior scales as part of a comprehensive assessment, using the optimal methods of administration of adaptive behavior scales, and interpreting resultant scores that have demonstrated the highest levels of reliability and the largest body of validity evidence.

description: In 1998/99 the Northern Territory Department of Education ran a project in its southern region called “Targeting Early Literacy – Family and School”. The aim of the project was to foster early literacy practices and to research these practices within the school-based programs and within families. Melodie Bat was the sole project officer for that project which she implemented in three Aboriginal communities near Alice Springs. This thesis is the evaluation, analysis and reporting of the research conducted during that project. The project was implemented in response to the expressed needs of communities for preschool programs and as an investigation into ways to combat low literacy levels in schools. Communities wanted preschool programs; schools wanted help with their ‘Little Kids’ programs; and the system was looking for solutions. This research was aimed at meeting these needs by taking an action research approach and by documenting the processes and products of the project. It is written according to a practical framework and reflecting the initial parameters of the project. It is a work looking for directions and good ideas which promise to generalise to other remote communities in other parts of northern Australia. This work is topical. There is currently a new early childhood framework being developed for the Northern Territory; the Federal Education Union is conducting a preschool inquiry and a mobile preschool program is just being established in a remote community in central Australia. This thesis is a journey along a dusty road with a troop carrier full of books and toys and a teddy bear in the driver’s seat. Enjoy the ride. Melodie Bat

description: A series of highly functionalized piperidine derivatives was synthesized through one-pot, five-component reaction of aldehydes, amines, and β-ketoesters. Silica sulfuric acid efficiently catalyzes the reaction to afford the corresponding piperidine derivatives in good yields. As a representative example, heating of 4-methylaninle, 4-fluorobezaldehyde, and methyl-acetoacetate in methanol in the presence of silica sulfuric acid furnished the corresponding ethyl 2,6-bis(4-fluorophenyl)-1-p-tolyl-4-(p-tolylamino)-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-3-carboxylate in excellent yield (85%). Most of the synthesized compounds were screened in vitro for their antibacterial and antifungal activities. Most of compounds showed significant antibacterial activity.

description: The use of agricultural waste as alternate building material has had great deal of interest in recent years. Therefore, these wastes have often bad physical properties that need to be improved. This experimental research investigation aims to explain the influence of potassium hydroxide on the rice straw properties. The potassium hydroxide was obtained by crystallizing wood ash solution. Five solutions containing different ratio of potassium hydroxide were made and used to treat rice straw. Water absorption, direct tensile test and density were performed on straw to determine the influence of treatments on their physical and mechanical properties. Modifications in rice straw structure were investigated by dissecting microscope and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). All applied solutions resulted in a reduction of the water absorption capacity and increament in tensile strength. For improved physical and mechanical properties of vegetal straw, treatment with solution pH 9.92 (containing 8 kg/l) of potassium hydroxide was recommended.

description: First glimpsed the atrocities in the twentieth century, international society decided to protect the rights and freedoms of every human person. From this, the Council of Europe adopted the European Convention on Human Rights, which all European Community countries are members, and the European Court of Human Rights is the body responsible for implementing that Convention to carry out the protection of human rights. However, at present, are evidence of the tightening European immigration policies that stand against the protection of human dignity, freedom, equality, solidarity, citizenship and justice among all human beings, as provided for in international instruments. On this basis, this research is to analyze the effectiveness of the European Convention on Human Rights in relation to nationals of third countries, from the jurisprudence of the ECHR, and to verify whether the Directive 2008/115/EC of 16 December 2008 violates the human rights of irregular migrants.

description: A pesar de la situación excepcional que se vive en Europa y el sufrimiento de su pueblo debido a la crisis financiera, la Comisión Europea ha perdido por completo la capacidad de tomar la iniciativa y sus principales dirigentes no tienen voz para tratar de resolver el problema. Todo viene de la solución (o nada se ha resuelto) en el marco de las instituciones de la UE (sobre todo los pueblos de Europa), en el marco de las relaciones intergubernamentales, de acuerdo a la voluntad de la potencia dominante en este tipo de Cuarto Reich que se convirtió en la Unión Europea En particular, la zona del euro. En resumen, la alarma de razones sobre la vida democrática de Europa fueron acentuando el capital como se puso de manifiesto que quien gobierna "Europa" son los llamados "mercados". Por lo tanto, este artículo tiene como objetivo explorar las imapactos que la crisis financiera que comenzó en 2007 causó en los países europeos a través de un análisis histórico, político y económico de la situación europea.

description: This article aims to show the relevance of humanizing the patient care examining the integration of national policies of humanization (theory) and the professionals that work on primary care (practice), especially when dealing with patients with HIV/AIDS, focusing on principles of ethics and bioethics. Take care is a relatively new problem in the literature. Thus, we shall discuss, in a very brief, the main features of the National Humanization Policy (NHP) of SUS, the foundations of ethics and bioethics and its application to health professionals in dealing with patients in general, 116 especially those with HIV/AIDS. This is a research literature review and the applied study is descriptive and qualitative.
LA TRANSPARENCIA ADMINISTRATIVA: PRINCIPIO RECTOR, INELUDIBLE, DEL ACTUAR ADMINISTRATIVO Y GARANTE DE LOS DERECHOS DE LOS ADMINISTRADOS. DE SU ACEPTABLE REGULACIÓN PRESENTE A SU DESEABLE CULMINACIÓN, SIGUIENDO EL PARADIGMA DEL DERECHO DE ACCESO A LA INFORMACIÓN EN MATERIA MEDIOAMBIENTAL

description: La transparencia administrativa ha sido y sigue siendo, hoy en día, una fuente de constantes preocupaciones y problemas para los Estados, dado que, resulta, sumamente complicado, encontrar el justo equilibrio entre aquella y la reserva lógica (limitaciones y excepciones) que demanda toda Administración Pública. Con la finalidad de valorar, debidamente, la situación actual en que se encuentra la transparencia administrativa, hemos analizado la evolución seguida por la misma, concluyendo, que se ha caracterizado, por ser: Unidireccional y creciente. Por otro lado y en íntima unión con ella, hemos querido traer a colación, el Derecho de acceso a la información en materia medioambiental, dado que, el mismo, es el máximo exponente de la transparencia administrativa, y entendemos, que modelo a seguir.
