description: PurposeExtensive research has demonstrated the influence of job resources on mitigating the impact of high job demands on individual well-being. Still, little is known about how individuals use job resources to cope. This study advances job demands-resources (JD-R) theory by investigating the process of job resource utilization from a coping perspective.Design/methodology/approachThis study is based on in-depth interviews with 32 Chinese senior executives using a Critical Incident Technique (CIT) for data collection and thematic analysis for data analysis.FindingsData analysis reveals a 2x2 matrix model of resource utilization, highlighting the relevance of internal and external job resources in coping and resource creation.Practical implicationsThe findings suggest that work stress intervention should look beyond the organizational domain and assist senior executives in exploring and developing external resources for coping. Additionally, organizations should equip senior executives with sufficient support to create new job resources that effectively manage complicated job demands.Originality/valueThe results of this study extend the understanding of job resources by distinguishing internal and external job resources. It also provides a dynamic view of resource utilization, emphasizing the role of job crafting in creating adaptable job resources to meet job demands.

Beyond word frequency: Bursts, lulls, and scaling in the temporal distributions of words

description: Background: Zipf's discovery that word frequency distributions obey a power law established parallels between biological and physical processes, and language, laying the groundwork for a complex systems perspective on human communication. More recent research has also identified scaling regularities in the dynamics underlying the successive occurrences of events, suggesting the possibility of similar findings for language as well. Methodology/Principal Findings: By considering frequent words in USENET discussion groups and in disparate databases where the language has different levels of formality, here we show that the distributions of distances between successive occurrences of the same word display bursty deviations from a Poisson process and are well characterized by a stretched exponential (Weibull) scaling. The extent of this deviation depends strongly on semantic type -- a measure of the logicality of each word -- and less strongly on frequency. We develop a generative model of this behavior that fully determines the dynamics of word usage. Conclusions/Significance: Recurrence patterns of words are well described by a stretched exponential distribution of recurrence times, an empirical scaling that cannot be anticipated from Zipf's law. Because the use of words provides a uniquely precise and powerful lens on human thought and activity, our findings also have implications for other overt manifestations of collective human dynamics.

Deconfinement phase transition in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory on RxS^3 from supersymmetric matrix quantum mechanics

description: We test the recent claim that supersymmetric matrix quantum mechanics with mass deformation preserving maximal supersymmetry can be used to study N=4 super Yang-Mills theory on RxS^3 in the planar limit. When the mass parameter is large, we can integrate out all the massive fluctuations around a particular classical solution, which corresponds to RxS^3. The resulting effective theory for the gauge field moduli at finite temperature is studied both analytically and numerically, and shown to reproduce the deconfinement phase transition in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory on RxS^3 at weak coupling. This transition was speculated to be a continuation of the conjectured phase transition at strong coupling, which corresponds to the Hawking-Page transition based on the gauge-gravity duality. By choosing a different classical solution of the same model, one can also reproduce results for gauge theories on other space-time such as RxS^3/Z_q and RxS^2. All these theories can be studied at strong coupling by the new simulation method, which was used successfully for supersymmetric matrix quantum mechanics without mass deformation.

description: We investigate transitions of portals users between different subpages. A weighted network of portals subpages is reconstructed where edge weights are numbers of corresponding transitions. Distributions of link weights and node strengths follow power laws over several decades. Node strength increases faster than linearly with node degree. The distribution of time spent by the user at one subpage decays as power law with exponent around 1.3. Distribution of numbers P(z) of unique subpages during one visit is exponential. We find a square root dependence between the average z and the total number of transitions n during a single visit. Individual path of portal user resembles of self-attracting walk on the weighted network. Analytical model is developed to recover in part the collected data.

description: A novel functional integral formulation of quantum mechanics for non-Lagrangian systems is presented. The new approach, which we call "stringy quantization," is based solely on classical equations of motion and is free of any ambiguity arising from Lagrangian and/or Hamiltonian formulation of the theory. The functionality of the proposed method is demonstrated on several examples. Special attention is paid to the stringy quantization of systems with a general A-power friction force $-κ[\dot{q}]^A$. Results for $A = 1$ are compared with those obtained in the approaches by Caldirola-Kanai, Bateman and Kostin. Relations to the Caldeira-Leggett model and to the Feynman-Vernon approach are discussed as well.

Some socio-spatial aspects of low-income family housing, Culloden Court : a case study
Creators: name: Patti, Muddu Gopal Rao
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis stems from three separate but interrelated questions on public housing projects: l) do families that are potential residents of public housing projects, living in the community at large, feel socially isolated, and is their sense of isolation alleviated by living in the project? 2) what are the effects on these families of living in a project with similar type (socioeconomic) of residents and the provision of common facilities? 3) what are the various forms of designed provisions that can be introduced to overcome social isolation and improve community integration? "Culloden Court," one of the public housing projects in Vancouver, has been chosen as the case study for this investigation. A series of unstructured interviews were conducted with: Group 1 - residents of the Culloden Court project; Group 2 - applicants requesting accommodation in public housing projects (future residents); and Group 3- the families living in the immediate neighbourhood of the Culloden Court project. Statistical data on the first two groups were derived from the files of the B. C. Housing Management. The questioning directed itself to finding (l) the personal relationship of the residents to each other, (2) how the different types of resident groups related to each other, (3) how the project residents and people from project neighbourhood area relate themselves to the housing and project facilities, and finally (4) the kinds of households that should be provided in the project. The findings clearly indicated that the future residents (Group 2) felt socially isolated in the community and were looking forward to living in projects, among a similar type of family. The response pattern also shows that project residents are generally more satisfied in the way they live now than the way they lived before moving into the project. The role of the recreation room was frequently mentioned in discussing satisfaction with the project. Social integration between the community residents and the neighbourhood of the project (Group 3) and project residents was found to be lacking, although project residents attach great importance to this aspect. It is hoped that this study may help in providing guidelines in designing future housing layouts for people who find themselves in similar situations.

description: We report the discovery of a confirmed supernova (SN) and a supernova-candidate in near-infrared images from the ALTAIR/NIRI adaptive optics system on the Gemini-North Telescope and NICMOS on the Hubble Space Telescope. The Gemini images were obtained as part of a near-infrared K-band search for highly-obscured SNe in the nuclear regions of luminous infrared galaxies. SN 2008cs apparent in the Gemini images is the first SN discovered using laser guide star adaptive optics. It is located at 1500 pc projected distance from the nucleus of the luminous infrared galaxy IRAS 17138-1017. The SN luminosity, JHK colors and light curve are consistent with a core-collapse event suffering from a very high host galaxy extinction of 15.7 +- 0.8 magnitudes in V-band which is to our knowledge the highest yet measured for a SN. The core-collapse nature of SN 2008cs is confirmed by its radio detection at 22.4 GHz using our Very Large Array observations 28 days after the SN discovery, indicating a prominent interaction of the SN ejecta with the circumstellar medium. An unconfirmed SN apparent in the NICMOS images from 2004 is located in the same galaxy at 660 pc projected distance from the nucleus and has a lower extinction.

description: Given a rational homogeneous variety G/P where G is complex simple and of type ADE, we prove that all tangent bundles T_{G/P} are simple, meaning that their only endomorphisms are scalar multiples of the identity. This result combined with Hitchin-Kobayashi correspondence implies stability of these tangent bundles with respect to the anticanonical polarization. Our main tool is the equivalence of categories between homogeneous vector bundles on G/P and finite dimensional representations of a given quiver with relations.

We analyze the LHC potential to look for new vector bosons associated with the EWSB sector. We present a possible model independent approach to search for these new spin--1 resonances. We show that the analyses of the processes pp --> l^+ l^- Emiss_T, l^\pm j j Emiss_T, l^\pm l^+ l^- Emiss_T, and l^+ l^- j j (with l=e or μand j=jet) have a large reach at the LHC and can lead to the discovery or exclusion of many EWSB scenarios such as Higgsless models.

description: We present results of optical spectroscopic and BVR_CI_C photometric observations of 77 pre-main sequence (PMS) stars in the Cepheus flare region. A total of 64 of these are newly confirmed PMS stars, originally selected from various published candidate lists. We estimate effective temperatures and luminosities for the PMS stars, and comparing the results with pre-main sequence evolutionary models we estimate stellar masses of 0.2-2.4M_sun and stellar ages of 0.1-15 Myr. Among the PMS stars, we identify 15 visual binaries with separations of 2-10 arcsec. From archival IRAS, 2MASS, and Spitzer data, we construct their spectral energy distributions and classify 5% of the stars as Class I, 10% as Flat SED, 60% as Class II, and 3% as Class III young stellar objects (YSOs). We identify 12 CTTS and 2 WTTS as members of NGC 7023, with mean age of 1.6 Myr. The 13 PMS stars associated with L1228 belong to three small aggregates: RNO 129, L1228A, and L1228S. The age distribution of the 17 PMS stars associated with L1251 suggests that star formation has propagated with the expansion of the Cepheus flare shell. We detect sparse aggregates of 6-7 Myr old PMS stars around the dark clouds L1177 and L1219, at a distance of 400 pc. Three T Tauri stars appear to be associated with the Herbig Ae star SV Cep at a distance of 600 pc. Our results confirm that the molecular complex in the Cepheus flare region contains clouds of various distances and star forming histories.

Rogue Academy : conversational art events as a means of institutional critique
Creators: name: Lee, FMJ
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Rogue Academy', developed as a research project, comprised two curated dialogical interventionist art events presented here as visual arts case studies. The research scrutinised aspects of a university art school as a critique of the common type of institutional structure that provides educational instruction in contemporary art practice. The case studies sought to use a form of parasitic activity independent of, yet attached to, the art school. The strategy was to further develop the relationship between the institution and participants in the projects into mutually symbiotic platforms that would encourage social engagement, artistic autonomy and co-productivity. The platforms were designed as agonistic tools for use in future art programming and education curricula to enable current unconventional practice in the field to be brought into the academy so that they could to work together with existing educational and exhibitionary structures. My original contribution to the field of visual arts is in the identification of a curatorial methodology informed by a 'Community of Inquiry' approach that is self-regulated and has a use-value. It is a conversational tool for staff, researchers and students within tertiary art institutional structures to foster the acquisition of knowledge and empowerment through intervention, curiosity and inquiry-based learning. Central to the investigation is the idea of an essential coupling of conversation and contestation as necessary to the possibility of creative and productive practice and engagement. Contemporary institutional structures, such as art schools, and especially the bureaucratic, corporate, and commercial determination of those structures, render problematic the very possibility of such 'conversational contestation'. Likewise, the unquantifiable, flexible processes and outcomes of many unconventional contemporary participatory practices make awkward the development of structured undergraduate teaching and learning. My research identifies a significant gap in knowledge that adequately accounts for social, community and participatory practice, as well as providing critical grounding needed to validate these fields of practice within an academic environment. The interventions that made up the project were pluralistic and curatorial, devised to foster social exchange, inquiry and conversational contestation in a provincial art school, as a means to understand and deal with the wider cultural ecology that artists in training will come to experience. The research was undertaken as a response to, and an institutional critique of, the lag between aspects of contemporary art and undergraduate art education‚ÄövÑvÆthe former characterised by open-ended practices that are socially engaged; participatory, process-driven, co-productive, performative and dialogical, the latter by traditional studio-based models of practice that demand projected and measurable results.

description: We study the CMB observables in axion monodromy inflation. These well-motivated scenarios for inflation in string theory have monomial potentials over super-Planckian field ranges, with superimposed sinusoidal modulations from instanton effects. Such periodic modulations of the potential can drive resonant enhancements of the correlation functions of cosmological perturbations, with characteristic modulations of the amplitude as a function of wavenumber. We give an analytical result for the scalar power spectrum in this class of models, and we determine the limits that present data places on the amplitude and frequency of modulations. Then, incorporating an improved understanding of the realization of axion monodromy inflation in string theory, we perform a careful study of microphysical constraints in this scenario. We find that detectable modulations of the scalar power spectrum are commonplace in well-controlled examples, while resonant contributions to the bispectrum are undetectable in some classes of examples and detectable in others. We conclude that resonant contributions to the spectrum and bispectrum are a characteristic signature of axion monodromy inflation that, in favorable cases, could be detected in near-future experiments.

description: This resource is a single blog post created as part of the Day of Archaeology initiative. The Day of Archaeology project aimed to provide a window into the daily lives of archaeologists from all over the world. The project asked people working, studying or volunteering in the archaeological world to participate in a 'Day of Archaeology' each year by recording their day and sharing it through text, images or video on the Day of Archaeology blog.
The project asked anyone with a personal, professional or voluntary interest in archaeology to get involved, and help highlight the reasons why archaeology is vital to protect the past and inform our futures. The resulting Day of Archaeology project archive demonstrates the wide variety of work the archaeological profession undertakes day-to-day across the globe, and helps to raise public awareness of the relevance and importance of archaeology to the modern world.
The first ever Day of Archaeology was held in 2011 and, since then, the project had thousands of archaeologists take part in the event, from those working in the field through to specialists working in laboratories and behind computers. The last Day of Archaeology was on Friday 28th July 2017.
Silicon thin-films. I.Low-temperature-sublimed silicon films on sapphire and spinel substrates, II. A field effect study of the metal-insulator-semiconductor structure and its applications in notch networks

description: A study of the structural and electrical properties of low-temperature-sublimed silicon films indicates that they are characterized by a high density of grain boundaries, hence crystal defects. A trapping model has been proposed to explain the experimentally observed temperature-dependencies of resistivity and carrier concentration of these films. The result shows that the defect density at the grain boundaries is of the order of 10¹² cmˉ², and that it is independent of the doping concentrations in the films. It has been shown that the thin-film metal-insulator-semi-conductor (MIS) structure can be reduced to a transmission line problem by expressing the equivalent capacitance of the structure as a series combination of the depletion capacitance and the insulator capacitance. The variations of both the capacitance and channel conductance of the MIS structure have been utilized to make notch filters in which the notch frequency can be varied over 200% by an external biasing voltage. In view of the need for maintaining a constant null depth in the semiconductor notch filter under various biasing potentials, a new notch network has been proposed in which the optimal notch condition could be maintained simply by designing the ratios of the lengths and widths of the MIS structure to the appropriate values.

description: In this Closer Look, we examine individual investor perception of ESG to gauge their concern for environmental and social issues, their view of whether fund managers should use their voting power to influence ESG practices, and their willingness to sacrifice return in the advancement of ESG objectives. We find that investors are not homogenous in their viewpoints and demonstrate significant divergence based on age and wealth, with the most vulnerable investors—those who are older and those with low levels of savings—largely opposed to ESG and unwilling to risk their assets to advance these objectives, in contrast to younger, wealthy investors who are much more supportive and willing to forfeit returns. Significant differences in perception of ESG also exist within and across fund companies. The results suggest that fund managers should consider the various viewpoints of their investor base and potentially split their votes on controversial ESG-related proxy proposals to reflect the divergent interests of beneficial owners. We ask: How do fund managers determine how to vote shares regarding ESG-related proxy proposals? How rigorous is the analysis they perform regarding the economic impact of these proposals? How do fund managers balance the interests of their investor base when these interests diverge? Would split voting improve mutual fund governance by protecting the interest of minority voters—whether that minority is in favor of or opposed to ESG?
Teaching with interactive whiteboards : is teacher education up to it? : a study of pre-service primary school teachers' education with interactive whiteboards

description: Without quality teaching and learning based around a solid understanding of sound pedagogical principles, IWBs will be just another piece of hardware in the classroom. Unless teachers understand how to leverage interactive technology to create better learning experiences for their students, then we are wasting our time (Betcher & Lee, 2009, p .13). Given the increasing prevalence of Interactive Whiteboards (IWBs) in Australian primary school classrooms, this study aimed to determine how well the teacher education course at the University of Tasmania (UTAS) was meeting the needs of pre-service teachers. Variables, including perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceptions of technological complexity, technological self-efficacy, attitude towards computer use, and facilitating conditions, potentially influencing the acceptance of this technology, as described by Teo (2009), were examined, and connections between participants' perceptions identified. This study sought to compare the IWB education received by pre-service teachers at UTAS with IWB use in primary school classrooms, with the aim of determining the readiness of beginning teachers to embrace this technology. Surveys and interviews were conducted with pre-service teachers at UTAS, Faculty of Education teaching staff at UTAS, and primary school teachers, with the results compared and interpreted in light of the existing research findings as presented in the literature review. There was a disjuncture between how IWBs were used in primary school classrooms and how they were used at university. Pre-service teachers were on average more positive in their perceptions about IWB use than were university teaching staff. Low levels of education in IWB use and limited access to the technology were reported by the majority of pre-service teachers and Faculty of Education teaching staff. There was also a difference among expectations for IWB use of the three groups participating in this study. The results of this study are relevant and of interest to educators and university leadership in Australia and beyond.
The Highly Real Quasinormal Modes of Schwarzschild-Anti De Sitter Black Holes

description: A recent investigation has led to the possibility of the existence of an interesting region of the asymptotic quasinormal mode spectrum of Schwarzschild-anti de Sitter black holes. In this asymptotic region, the real part of quasinormal mode frequencies approaches infinity while the damping rate approaches a finite value. These quasinormal mode frequencies were calculated using an analytic technique based on the complex coordinate WKB method. In this paper, we use a different analytic technique to calculate such quasinormal mode frequencies. The results of this paper provide further support of the possibility of the existence of these modes.

description: I set out the 2PI formalism for quantum fields in a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker Universe. I show how one can solve self-consistently for the quantum field evolution and the evolution of the cosmological scale factor, using a renormalised semi-classical Friedmann equation. In a 2PI coupling expansion truncated at O(lambda^2), I perform sample calculations demonstrating kinetic and chemical equilibration in this context.

Development of advanced fault diagnosis techniques for complex industrial processes
Creators: name: Hongyang, Y
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Modern industrial processes are systems with a high degree of complexity. These systems comprise of a large number of components functioning in harmony to produce high quality products. In practice, the operating states of these components are monitored in real-time to determine whether there are abnormalities in process operation. There are a number of challenges associated with monitoring a large number of process components, for instance, high monitoring cost and flooding of false alarms. To address these problems, a multivariate statistical process monitoring (MSPM) framework has been developed in recent years. The MSPM performs multivariate statistical analysis on real-time process data to generate two monitoring statistics capable of identifying abnormalities in all aspects of process operations. Many researchers have proposed a variety of techniques within the framework of MSPM. This thesis advances these developments by proposing several novel extensions in the areas of features extraction, robust online fault diagnosis and multivariate dynamic risk assessment. The first major contribution of this work is the use of Copula, a method for modelling complete dependence structure between random variables, for non-Gaussian feature extraction. The Copula method is then combined with Spearman's rank correlation coefficient for nonlinear feature extraction. Due to the use of the Spearman's correlation coefficient, the proposed technique is also robust to data contamination. Another type of technique based on Nonlinear Gaussian Belief Network is also proposed for robust feature extraction from noisy data with nonlinear variations. The second major contribution is the development of a powerful visualization tool for real-time process monitoring. This visualization tool is derived from the well-known nonlinear feature extraction algorithm, the Self-organizing Map. A direct visualization of the real-time operating state of processes is presented on a 2D map. A number of operating regions have also been identified on the 2D map, allowing for a more refined process monitoring. The third main contribution of this thesis is the integration of the process monitoring techniques into the operational risk assessment framework. The process monitoring statistics are transformed to indicate the real-time probability of faulty conditions. In the meantime, the possible process losses due to likely fault condition are also estimated. The probability of fault and possible process losses are then combined to determine the operational risk of process. Based on the risk level, the most effective remedial measures can be easily determined.
