description: We compare the structural and mechanical properties of static packings composed of frictionless convex (ellipses) and concave (rigid dimers) particles in two dimensions. We employ numerical simulations to generate static packings and measure the shear stress in response to applied simple shear strain as a function of the aspect ratio and amount of compression. We find that the behavior near jamming is significantly different for ellipses and dimers even though both shapes are roughly characterized by the aspect ratio and possess the same number of translational and rotational degrees of freedom per particle. For example, we find that ellipse packings are hypostatic (not isostatic as found for dimers), display novel power-law scaling of the static linear shear modulus and contact number with the amount of compression, and possess stress-strain relations that are qualitatively different from that for dimers. Thus, we observe that important macroscopic properties of static packings of anisotropic particles can depend on the microscale geometrical features of individual particles.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We calculate leading-order dilepton yields from a quark-gluon plasma which has a time-dependent anisotropy in momentum space. Such anisotropies can arise during the earliest stages of quark-gluon plasma evolution due to the rapid longitudinal expansion of the created matter. A phenomenological model for the proper time dependence of the parton hard momentum scale, p_hard, and the plasma anisotropy parameter, xi, is proposed. The model describes the transition of the plasma from a 0+1 dimensional collisionally-broadened expansion at early times to a 0+1 dimensional ideal hydrodynamic expansion at late times. We find that high-energy dilepton production is enhanced by pre-equilibrium emission up to 50% at LHC energies, if one assumes an isotropization/thermalization time of 2 fm/c. Given sufficiently precise experimental data this enhancement could be used to determine the plasma isotropization time experimentally.

description: Eureka or phoenix from the ashes? The developmental trajectory of offshore wind energy in Northwestern Germany. After the crisis in the shipbuilding industry the hopes for new regional developmental impulses are based upon the boom in offshore wind energy production. The paper examines whether there exist direct or indirect links between the new and the old regional industrial trajectory. The results indicate that these links are only of indirect nature. The core stimuli for the development were the ports in which seagoing vessels are able to land and a strong market pull effect. The crisis in contrast only generated an indirect push effect and the shipbuilding industry provided human capital and specialized infrastructure from which the new industry could benefit, but which could have been created elsewhere as well.

description: We extend the $T$ violating model of the paper on "Hidden symmetry of the CKM and neutrino-mapping matrices" by assuming its $T$-violating phases $χ_\uparrow$ and $χ_\downarrow$ to be large and the same, with $χ=χ_\uparrow=χ_\downarrow$. In this case, the model has 9 real parameters: $α_\uparrow, β_\uparrow, ξ_\uparrow, η_\uparrow$ for the $\uparrow$-quark sector, $α_\downarrow, β_\downarrow, ξ_\downarrow, η_\downarrow$ for the $\downarrow$ sector and a common $χ$. We examine whether these nine parameters are compatible with ten observables: the six quark masses and the four real parameters that characterize the CKM matrix (i.e., the Jarlskog invariant ${\cal J}$ and three Eulerian angles). We find that this is possible only if the $T$violating phase $χ$ is large, between $-120^0$ to $-135^0$. In this strong $T$ violating model, the smallness of the Jarlskog invariant ${\cal J}\cong 3\times 10^{-5}$ is mainly accounted for by the large heavy quark masses, with $\frac{m_c}{m_t}

description: The cultural industries as a research object in economic geography Sectors whose products promote the development of individual preferences and goals or which serve as a source for personal entertainment or information have recently been grouped together under the heading of 'cultural industries'. The cultural industries have attracted increasing interest in the field of economic geography in recent years because of their positive growth rates and employment effects. Furthermore the cultural industries feature other favourable characteristics. These are the importance of creativity as a fundamental driving force for economic development, the flexibility of project based production networks as well as the globalized distribution networks of powerful transnational media and entertainment companies. Based on the detailed analysis of these characteristics, the aim of this paper is to suggest that the cultural industries are a valuable research object in the field of economic geography.

description: The Aguas Zarcas (Costa Rica) CM2 carbonaceous chondrite fell during night time in April 2019. Security and dashboard camera video of the meteor were analyzed to provide a trajectory, lightcurve, and orbit of the meteoroid. The trajectory was near vertical, 81° steep, arriving from an ~109° (WNW) direction with apparent entry speed of 14.6 +/- 0.6 km/s. The meteoroid penetrated to ~25 km altitude (5 MPa dynamic pressure), where the surviving mass shattered, producing a flare that was detected by the Geostationary Lightning Mappers on GOES-16 and GOES-17. The cosmogenic radionuclides were analyzed in three recovered meteorites by either gamma-ray spectroscopy or accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), while noble gas concentrations and isotopic compositions were measured in the same fragment that was analyzed by AMS. From this, the pre-atmospheric size of the meteoroid and its cosmic-ray exposure age were determined. The studied samples came from a few cm up to 30 cm deep in an object with an original diameter of ~60 cm, that was ejected from its parent body 2.0 +/- 0.2 Ma ago. The ejected material had an argon retention age of 2.9 Ga. The object was delivered most likely by the 3:1 or 5:2 mean motion resonances and, without subsequent fragmentation, approached Earth from a low i < 2.8° inclined orbit with perihelion distance q = 0.98 AU close to Earth orbit. The steep entry trajectory and high strength resulted in deep penetration in the atmosphere and a relatively large fraction of surviving mass.

description: Over the past few decades, many works have studied the evolutionary dynamics of continuous games. However, previous works have primarily focused on two-player games with pairwise interactions. Indeed, group interactions rather than pairwise interactions are usually found in real situations. The public goods game serves as a paradigm of multi-player interactions. Notably, various types of benefit functions are typically considered in public goods games, including linear, saturating, and sigmoid functions. Thus far, the evolutionary dynamics of cooperation in continuous public goods games with these benefit functions remain unknown in structured populations. In this paper, we consider the continuous public goods game in structured populations. By employing the pair approximation approach, we derive the analytical expressions for invasion fitness. Furthermore, we explore the adaptive dynamics of cooperative investments in the game with various benefit functions. First, for the linear public goods game, we find that there is no singular strategy, and the cooperative investments evolve to either the maximum or minimum depending on the benefit-to-cost ratio. Subsequently, we examine the game with saturating benefit functions and demonstrate the potential existence of an evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS). Additionally, for the game with the sigmoid benefit function, we observe that the evolutionary outcomes are closely related to the threshold value. When the threshold is small, a unique ESS emerges. For intermediate threshold values, both the ESS and repellor singular strategies can coexist. When the threshold value is large, a unique repellor displays. Finally, we perform individual-based simulations to validate our theoretical results.
A package of business related risk measures : development and empirical study
Creators: name: Kwong, Alfred Chu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Risk taking propensity is defined as the willingness of an individual to take risks. Although previous research has suggested that this construct is multidimensional, the primary purpose of this thesis is to develop a package of measures relevant to one dimension of risk: business risk. The package includes measures adopted and revised from ones used previously and measures constructed for this study. Thirty-five Masters Students in Business Administration were administered the following package of measures: Choice Dilemma, Extremity Confidence in Judgment, In-Basket, Utility Items, Stock Price Wagers, a Personal Record Questionnaire, and a personality questionnaire concerning Internal External Control and Sensation Seeking. The results of the study show that some of the intercorrelations among measures are insignificant. Several factor analytical methods were tried but the extracted factors were neither identifiable nor expected. The study examined the relationship between risk taking and some selected variables like Salary, amount of asset, amount of liability, years of working experience, and number of dependents. Choice Dilemma was found to be a function of a greater number of variables, namely average age of the dependents, working years, salary, face value of insurance and liabilities. Extremity confidence in judgment is related to number of working years and salary. The In-Basket Memo score is related to IE Control, average age of dependents, working years and salary. The thesis has been able to pinpoint areas of weakness in the items themselves and indicate which measures should be subject to revision or elimination. It has also been able to narrow down the definition of business risk taking. In this regard, it has provided insights into what a final package of Business-related risk measures should contain. The study suggests more interesting areas to look at and serves as a pivot for future research of this kind.
The role of social capital in negotiating socio-economic needs
Creators: name: Smith, AE
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This study is an investigation which focuses on the existing body of literature covering the construct of social capital and fundamental human need theories, particularly the need to understand and find meaning. It examines these in relationship to learning, culture and activity theory. The study is a preliminary investigation with limited scope. The thesis establishes an explanatory analysis and accompanying conceptual framework to be tested by further research. A proposed meth9dology for data collection and ¬¨‚àëanalysis is included. The thesis takes a humanistic approach and proposes that fundamental human need satisfaction is foundational to human well-being and growth within people's varied lifeworlds. The study reveals that human interactions and value systems connect the concepts of social capital, fundamental human need and culture in the form of activities surrounding fundamental human need satisfaction. Regarding the construct of social capital and its elements of shared values, trust, norms, reciprocity and networks, the structural, relational and cognitive dimensions of social capital are proposed and examined. This thesis suggests that the elements of the social capital construct work together to facilitate human interactions aimed at satisfying fundamental human needs across different socio-cultural systems. It places particular ~mphasis on the learning process required to negotiate the range of socio-economic need satisfactions across different cultures. Tue study also discusses theories surrounding communitarian psychology as a precursor to the introduction of activity theory. Activitxi theory in this thesis is explained as a learning model emphasising human activity aimed at the satisfaction of fundamental human needs. This thesis further develops the activity theory model to demonstrate the role social capital plays as a resource. A resource, which when accessed, acts as a mediator of human interaction aimed at enabling the satisfaction of fundamental human needs. This model directly links human values to human activity-and stresses the link between human values, human action, and the satisfaction of fundamental human needs. The model demonstrates how human values have a direct effect on how a person perceives need-satisfying activities and what resources can be accessed and used in any activity. This thesis's explanatory analysis and associated conceptual :framework give rise to a set of propositions, questions and hypotheses. The thesis underpins and justifies the significance of, and need for, a future cross-cultural study for which a methodology is proposed. This proposed future study places at its centre the importance of human values as a pivotal point around which social capital is generated and maintained.

description: Studies on common pool resource governance have largely focused on men, who tend to have disproportionate rights and ownership with regards property and resources. This has resulted in the access and control rights of women being generally overlooked. Gender disaggregated analyses have revealed the important role of women in the governance of the commons. While certain commons may be relatively more important for women, there are variations in their level of resource access and management role, influenced by social structures and divisions. We examined the role of gender and how such intersectionality could shape the governance of the commons in the Spiti Valley in the Indian Trans-Himalaya. We found that gender, class, and caste intersected in the governance of irrigation water. Our study highlights the role of women in the governance of the commons and points to the nuanced and variable roles found within this gender group.

description: We study the evolution of a wave packet in a nonlinear Schrödinger lattice equation subject to a dc bias. In the absence of nonlinearity all normal modes are spatially localized giving rise to a Stark ladder with an equidistant eigenvalue spectrum and Bloch oscillations. Nonlinearity induces frequency shifts and mode-mode interactions and destroys localization. With increasing strength of nonlinearity we observe: (I) localization as a transient, with subsequent subdiffusion (weak mode-mode interactions); (II) immediate subdiffusion (strong mode-mode interactions); (III) single site trapping as a transient, with subsequent explosive spreading, followed by subdiffusion. For single mode excitations and weak nonlinearities stability intervals are predicted and observed upon variation of the dc bias strength, which affect the short and long time dynamics.

Using those derivations, we introduce the {\bf primitive filtrations} of the module of invariant logarithmic differential forms for an arbitrary Coxeter arrangement with an arbitrary multiplicity. In particular, when the Coxeter arrangement is irreducible with a constant multiplicity, the primitive filtration has already been studied, which generalizes the Hodge filtration introduced by K. Saito.

description: We show that various types of equilibrium play an important part in the behaviour of the troposphere. In analogy to the electro-chemical potential (well-known in solid-state physics and electro-chemistry) a gravito-chemical potential and a gravito-thermo-chemical potential, as well as the corresponding equilibria are introduced. We shall show that (a) the isothermal atmosphere is characterized by a constant gravito-chemical potential; (b) the well-mixed or adiabatic atmosphere is characterized by a constant gravito-thermo-chemical potential. Thus, a linear decrease of the temperature with the vertical coordinate corresponds to a state of equilibrium.
Sex roles and self-schemas
Creators: name: Smith, ATH
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The psychological measurement of Masculinity-Femininity has been of interest to investigators since at least the mid-1930s. The traditional conceptualization of sex-role identity saw Masculinity and Femininitya~mutually exclusive ends of a single unidimensional sex-role continuum. Major reviews undertaken in the 1970s, however, did not support this approach but, instead, pointed to the multidimensionality of Masculinity-Femininity. In respect, a number of new sex role assessment devices emerged along with the concept of pyschological androgyny. Debate and experimentation ensued until more recently when the notion of schemas, particularly self-schemas for gender, was proposed as an alternative approach to account for sex-role style. The concept of schemas suggests a variety of possibilities in the way gender-relevant knowledge structures may be organized among individuals classified into sexrole categories. Studies by Markus, Crane, Bernstein and Siladi (1982) attempted to determine precisely this organization by comparing the recall of socially desirable (positive) gender-relevant material among subjects designnated into the sex-role categories of masculine, feminine, androgynous and undifferentiated. Among their conclusions was the claim that undifferentiated persons are aschematic with respect to gender. The aim of this present study was to further investigate this claim by examining the nature of recall items in a situation where a set of socially undesirable (negative) sex-correlated attributes were presented in conjunction with the material used by Markus et aZ. (1982). Overall, the results of the present experiment tended to be consistentwith the findings of Markus et aZ. (1982) and, specifically, it was concluded that persons classified as undifferentiated do, in fact, appear to be aschematic with respect to gender.
Succinct Dictionary Matching With No Slowdown

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Data Structures and Algorithms (cs.DS)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The problem of dictionary matching is a classical problem in string matching: given a set S of d strings of total length n characters over an (not necessarily constant) alphabet of size sigma, build a data structure so that we can match in a any text T all occurrences of strings belonging to S. The classical solution for this problem is the Aho-Corasick automaton which finds all occ occurrences in a text T in time O(|T| + occ) using a data structure that occupies O(m log m) bits of space where m <= n + 1 is the number of states in the automaton. In this paper we show that the Aho-Corasick automaton can be represented in just m(log sigma + O(1)) + O(d log(n/d)) bits of space while still maintaining the ability to answer to queries in O(|T| + occ) time. To the best of our knowledge, the currently fastest succinct data structure for the dictionary matching problem uses space O(n log sigma) while answering queries in O(|T|log log n + occ) time. In this paper we also show how the space occupancy can be reduced to m(H0 + O(1)) + O(d log(n/d)) where H0 is the empirical entropy of the characters appearing in the trie representation of the set S, provided that sigma < m^epsilon for any constant 0 < epsilon < 1. The query time remains unchanged.

The quest for eternity : attempts towards an integrative treatment of moral and metaphysical considerations of existence, ideas and truth
Creators: name: Speer, D
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis represents a study into some central aspects of the notion of eternity. It proposes to explore ways in which the notion, rather than being dismissed as merely fictional or abstract, warrants an investigation into how the human being may be able to realize its reality The thesis argues in favour of a constructive cognitive access to the notion of eternity such that it can be seen to have reality through the active unification and perfection of our reason and of our moral being. The basic strategic approach, reflected in the thesis' structure, comprises the discussion of three main ideas or themes fundamental to metaphysics, which are central to the discussed means to render the notion of eternity real: A thesis about the inseparability of theoretical reason and a self-understanding of the human being as a moral being, a re-investigation of the notion of ideas in relation to the substantiality of things and an exploration of ways in which eternity is implied in existence. These three areas and perspectives are investigated independently and contain distinct arguments which are grounded in an attempt to render the concept of the eternality of truth intelligible. At the same time, each of the three thematic areas rests upon a bundle of arguments which can be organized around a systematic core. The thesis of the integrated approach to the theoretical/moral distinction argues (1) that thought forms the ground of the notion of the good and is the source of principles, (2) that thinking and the emotions are inseparable such that the emotions also reflect a person's ethical situation and (3) that there is no non-ethical stance to a philosophical position. The re-evaluation of the notion of ideas comprises (1) a general refutation of materialism and (2) a discussion of the ways in which ideas positively capture and constitute what is real. The third theme explores the relation between some conditions of existence and eternity through (1) a discussion of movement, (2) an analysis of the form of perception and order, (3) an investigation of the idea of the un-self-supporting reality of the world of becoming and ( 4) a speculative approach regarding an intelligence in all things. The thesis seeks to connect the three streams in loose and implicit ways and cautions against a forced philosophical systematization that would only artificially converge them. However, a final chapter provides a more synthetic and synoptic outlook without propounding a simplified or systematically foundational conclusion through an attempt to revisit the notions of Form, Will and Idea.

The index covers six topics: family, gender recognition, asylum, hate crime, equality, and freedom of assembly and association. We evaluated 2SLGBTQI policy changes in Canada over time, creating a Rainbow index score for each year, from 1975 to 2019.

Some parts of the index are also applicable to policies at the provincial/territorial level, therefore, we also created a partial index for all provinces and territories.

description: Recently the Casmir-Polder force felt by an atom near a substrate under nonequilibrium stationary conditions has been studied theoretically with macroscopic quantum electrodyanamics (MQED) and verified experimentally with cold atoms. We give a quantum field theory derivation of the Langevin equation describing the atom's motion based on the influence functional method valid for fully nonequilibrium (nonstationary) conditions. The noise associated with the quantum field derived from first principles is generally colored and nonlocal, which is at variance with the `local source hypothesis' of MQED's generalization to nonequilibrium conditions. Precision measurements on the shape deformation of an atomic gas as a function of its distance from a mirror would provide a direct check of our predictions based on this Langevin equation.

Synthetic Direct Impact Light Curves of the Ultracompact AM CVn Binary Systems V407 Vul and HM Cnc

description: The interacting binary white dwarf (AM CVn) systems HM Cnc and V407 have orbital periods of 5.4 min and 9.5 min, respectively. The two systems are characterized by an "on/off" behaviour in the X-ray light curve, and optical light curves that are nearly sinusoidal and which lead the X-ray light curves in phase by about 0.2 in both systems. Of the models that have been proposed to explain the observations, the one that seems to require the least fine tuning is the direct impact model of Marsh & Steeghs (2002). In this model, the white dwarf primary is large enough relative to the semi-major axis that the accretion stream impacts the surface of the primary white dwarf directly without forming an accretion disc. Marsh & Steeghs proposed that in this situation there could be a flow set up around the equator with a decreasing surface temperature the further one measured from the impact point. In this study, we estimate the light curves that might result from such a temperature distribution, and find them to be reasonable approximations to the observations. One unexpected result is that two distinct X-ray spots must exist to match the shape of the X-ray light curves.

Workshop

description: This is the presentation slides from a workshop run by The Turing Way Community at Genomic England's Conference on Research for Genomic Equity.

 We ran a workshop to introduce how open research can start to tackle barriers of mistrust in science by the general public and also the scientific community.

 We introduced what open research is and the aspects that can be used to tackle barriers to equity such as mistrust, inappropriate scientific communications and access.

 When then gave some examples of open research projects and introduced the Turing way as an example of collaborative and open research.

description: We report the discovery of a new binary icosahedral phase in a Sc-Zn alloy obtained through solution-growth, producing millimeter-sized, facetted, single grain, quasicrystals that exhibit different growth morphologies, pentagonal dodecahedra and rhombic triacontahedra, under only marginally different growth conditions. These two morphologies manifest different degrees of quasicrystalline order, or phason strain. The discovery of i-Sc$_12$Zn$_88$ suggests that a reexamination of binary phase diagrams at compositions close to crystalline approximant structures may reveal other, new binary quasicrystalline phases.

Job evaluation in the forest industry in British Columbia
Creators: name: Luckhurst, Leland James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Job evaluation is a technique which has proved useful in the forest industry in British Columbia. Its major benefit has been the provision of a responsible climate for collective bargaining. A secondary benefit has been the provision for a meaningful basis of measuring productivity. The dissertation examines job evaluation in three areas. The first section studies some of the relevant theory of job evaluation as it applies to the forest industry in British Columbia. The evolution of Plywood Job Evaluation is followed by the recently introduced Southern Interior study. The concluding section ponders the future of job evaluation as it may apply to B.C. Coast Sawmills. Certainly, job evaluation comes highly recommended by this writer as a possible means of solving several of the cantankerous problems which have plagued the forest industry in British Columbia.

description: We discuss the results of the radio studies of the X-ray binaries with relativistic jets. We carried out a multi-frequency (1-30 GHz) daily monitoring of the radio flux variability of the microquasars SS433, GRS1915+105, and Cyg X-3 with the RATAN-600 radio telescope during the recent sets from 1 November 2006 to 31 August 2008. From December 2005 radio emission of Cyg X-3 after four years relatively quiescent levels (100-200 mJy) dropped down to $\sim$20 mJy, and then we detected a lot of bright radio flaring events (1-20 Jy) followed the very variable (from 0 to 0.5 crabs) 15-50 keV X-ray emission, which was monitored in the Swift/BAT ASM program. Again from December 2007 to March 2008 we have daily measured almost quiescent fluxes from Cyg X-3 but in April 2008 a bright radio flare with clear synchrotron self-absorption was detected. We detected several bright short-term flares from GRS 1915+105 which could be associated with active soft X-ray events. In intense measurements of SS433 fluxes (often mutually with X-ray and optical observations) we detected massive ejections during powerful flares. We discuss the various spectral and temporal characteristics of the light curves from the microquasars. Monitoring of the flaring radio emission is a good tracer of jet activity X-ray binaries.

description: In this paper, we investigate deep inelastic and elastic scattering on a polarized spin-1/2 hadron using gauge/string duality. This spin-1/2 hadron corresponds to a supergravity mode of the dilatino. The polarized deep inelastic structure functions are computed in supergravity approximation at large t' Hooft coupling $λ$ and finite $x$ with $λ^{-1/2}\ll x<1$. Furthermore, we discuss the moments of all structure functions, and propose an interesting sum rule $\int_{0}^{1} \textrm{d}x g_2(x, q^2) =0$ for $g_2$ structure function which is known as the Burkhardt-Cottingham sum rule in QCD. In the end, the elastic scattering is studied and elastic form factors of the spin-1/2 hadron are calculated within the same framework.

description: We describe a proposal for fast electron spin initialization in a negatively charged quantum dot coupled to a microcavity without the need for a strong magnetic field. We employ two-photon excitation to access trion states that are spin forbidden by one-photon excitation. Our simulation shows a maximum initialization speed of 1.3 GHz and maximum fidelity of 99.7% with realistic system parameters.

description: The magnetic ground state phase diagram of the ferromagnetic Kondo-lattice model is constructed by calculating internal energies of all possible bipartite magnetic configurations of the simple cubic lattice explicitly. This is done in one dimension (1D), 2D and 3D for a local moment of S = 3/2. By assuming saturation in the local moment system we are able to treat all appearing higher local correlation functions within an equation of motion approach exactly. A simple explanation for the obtained phase diagram in terms of bandwidth reduction is given. Regions of phase separation are determined from the internal energy curves by an explicit Maxwell construction.

The Friends' School Hobart : formation and early development
Creators: name: Oats, William Nicolle
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: The foundation of The Friends' School Hobart in 1887 was the result of a number of formative influences dating back to the arrival of the two English Quakers, Backhouse and Walker, in Hobart in 1832. Part One of this thesis examines the link between Backhouse and Walker's sponsorship of the British and Foreign School Society's principles and the support non-Friends ultimately gave to a Friends' School which appeared to offer an alternative both to the sectarianism of the Church Schools and the secularism of the newly-established State Schools. The special characteristics of the small Friends' Meeting organized by BaCkhouse and Walker in Hobart in 1833 are outlined as a basis for showing how education came to be regarded by this group of Friends as providing a key to their survival. Five attempts to start a small school for children of Friends failed in the mid-century decades and a move to set up a boarding-school by, Melbourne Friends in the mid-seventies also failed. The thesis attempts to answer the questions: Why then did a Friends' School succeed in Hobart in 1887, where previous attempts had failed? Why in Hobart and not in Melbourne or Sydney? Part Two describes the early development of the school during the years 1887 to 1900 and the importance in this development of three key figures - Edwin Ransome in England, Francis Mather in Hobart and Samuel Clemes who came out from England to be the school's first headmaster. Support was given by English Friends with finance and with staffing. The school, however, was a viable proposition only because of the extent of support given by the non-Friend community in Hobart. The school made an impact on non-Friends by reason of its claim to offer something distinctive in curriculum and methods. In curriculum, emphasis was placed, for example, on science rather than on the classics, on the importance of the practical as well as the academic skills, and on training for leisure. The school was regarded as \modern\" in its methods because of its introduction of co-education its reliance on co-operative rather than on competitive techniques in the classroom and its attempt to formulate a non-sectar-ian approach to religious education. The years 1887 to 1900 cover the period of Samuel Clemes' headmastership. The reasons for his resignation in 1900 are analysed in some detail in the chapter \"Anatomy of a crisis\". The thesis concludes with a summary of the impact of the school as a Friends' school within the context of the philosophy and practices of the Religious Society of Friends and as a 'High' school within the context of the wider non-Friend community."
