description: The background field method has been used successfully to determine hadron electromagnetic polarizabilities. Recently questions have been raised regarding the proper way to deal with the electric field on the lattice. In this paper, we show how the presence of a background electric field affects the quark hopping matrix. We use this formulation to carry out simulations on quenched configurations, and we present the results for neutron electric polarizability for pion masses as low as $500\MeV$. We find that the polarizability is roughly constant for the quark masses considered, $α\sim 1.5 \times 10^{-4} \fm^3$. While the polarizability is positive, it is significantly smaller than the experimental value due to the fact that the quark masses used are too large.

Characteristics of patients readmitted to a rural Tasmanian inpatient psychiatric unit : a one year snapshot
Creators: name: Anderson, Ella
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Psychiatric hospital readmission involves only a small percentage of the general population, but has significant financial costs to the services involved. Readmission also takes an often unrecognised toll on the people stuck in the 'revolving door' (Botha et al., 2010; Frick et al., 2013). Readmission rates were identified as a key area of concern for a psychiatric unit, Spencer Clinic, based at the North West Regional Hospital in a rural part of Tasmania. Prior research has identified multiple factors linked with an increased likelihood of being readmitted, but such research has mainly been limited to urban hospitals, with Australian rural readmission rates under researched. The current study reviewed patient records for 271 individuals aged 18 years and older who were admitted to the Spencer Clinic in 2014. Results indicate that those who were readmitted to the Spencer Clinic were significantly more likely to have an intellectual disability, be unemployed or receiving a pension. There was also a trend towards significance indicating that those with a diagnosis of schizophrenia were also more likely to be readmitted. The current findings suggest that readmission is influenced by more than a person's diagnosis, but the interplay between diagnosis and the social factors at work for the individual. Future research could focus on exploring possible interventions for those with an intellectual disability and mental illness to help decrease the number of admissions these people experience and increase their coping skills in the community.

Stressful life events and anxiety, depression, and fatigue in people with initial central nervous system demyelination
Creators: name: Dance, GB
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: There is no known cure for Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a chronic inflammatory disease characterised by demyelination of the central nervous system. Current treatment recommendations focus on symptom management. In order to inform recommendations there is a need to identify factors that exacerbate MS symptoms. Stress has consistently been associated with MS relapse, however few studies have examined the impact of stress on other MS symptoms. This study investigated the association between various measures of stressful life events and other MS symptoms implicated in the progression of the disease, which include anxiety, depression, and fatigue. The 236 participants (184 females) with a first clinical diagnosis of demyelination participated in annual reviews for five years. Measures of stressful life events, anxiety, depression, and fatigue were obtained. As predicted the results showed negative, but not positive, stressful events were associated with anxiety, depression, and fatigue. Consistent with hypothesis two, an increased number of stressful events that were perceived as more severe and had a higher readjustment weighting were significantly associated with anxiety and depression. More negative events that had a higher readjustment weighting, but not perceived severity, were associated with fatigue. Contrary to the third hypothesis, an increased duration of negative stressful events were significantly associated with anxiety and depression but not fatigue. Overall, these findings indicate negative stressful events, but not positive stressful events, are associated with subsequent anxiety, depression, and fatigue in people with MS. Importantly various aspects of stress were shown to affect anxiety and depression differently to fatigue.
Effect of flow fluctuations and nonflow on elliptic flow methods

description: We discuss how the different estimates of elliptic flow are influenced by flow fluctuations and nonflow effects. It is explained why the event-plane method yields estimates between the two-particle correlation methods and the multiparticle correlation methods. It is argued that nonflow effects and fluctuations cannot be disentangled without other assumptions. However, we provide equations where, with reasonable assumptions about fluctuations and nonflow, all measured values of elliptic flow converge to a unique mean v_{2,PP} elliptic flow in the participant plane and, with a Gaussian assumption on eccentricity fluctuations, can be converted to the mean v_{2,RP} in the reaction plane. Thus, the 20% spread in observed elliptic flow measurements from different analysis methods is no longer mysterious.

As an application, we deduce that any such groupoid can up to Morita equivalence be presented as an extension of some action groupoid G n X with G compact by some bundle of compact Lie groups.

Intensive cognitive behavioural therapy for social anxiety disorder : a pilot study
Creators: name: Hunn, A
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Individual cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), typically delivered in 12-16 weekly sessions, is the most effective treatment available for SAD. However, CBT for SAD often demonstrates lower effect sizes than seen in other anxiety disorders. Intensive treatments, consisting of multiple sessions per week, have been found to be effective for other anxiety disorders but have been studied in group format only for SAD. This study investigated the effect of intensive individual CBT (IICBT) delivered in three 60-minute sessions per week, over four consecutive weeks (total 12 sessions). Participants were eight outpatients (Mean age = 28 years, 87.5% female) with a primary diagnosis of SAD. Large within-group effect sizes were found at post-treatment on the Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN; d= 1.61; p = .02), the Social Interaction Anxiety Scale (SIAS; d= 1.14; p = .03), and Social Phobia Scale (SPS; d= 0.99; p=.12). At three months post treatment, large effect sizes were reported on the SPIN (d= 1.94; p = .001), the SIAS (d= 2.18; p = .002), and SPS (d= 1.70; p=.002). Despite a small sample size, this study provides preliminary data to suggest that IICBT is effective for outpatients with a primary diagnosis of SAD, with results similar or superior to standard treatments. This method provides an additional treatment option, and may be attractive for individuals with severe SAD symptoms, those who need to travel to treatment, and clients or psychologists wishing to reduce the timeframe of treatment. Larger and more rigorous studies are needed to confirm these findings.

description: We find that the current radiative energy loss kernels obtained from the opacity expansion dramatically violate the collinear approximation used in their derivation. By keeping only the lowest order in collinearity terms, models based on the opacity expansion have ~50% systematic uncertainty in the calculation of pi^0 R_AA in 0-5% most central RHIC collisions resulting in a systematic uncertainty of ~200% in the extracted medium density. Surprisingly, the inclusion of a thermal gluon mass on the order of the Debye screening scale affects R_AA at only about the 5% level due to non-intuitive coherence effects. For some observables such as R_AA, the effect of these uncertainties decreases with increasing jet energy; for others, such as the average number of radiated gluons, the effect is energy independent. We note that it is likely that the differences reported in the extracted values of medium parameters such as qhat by various jet energy loss models will fall within this collinear approximation systematic uncertainty; it is imperative for the quantitative extraction of medium parameters or the possible falsification of the hypothesis of weak coupling between the hard probes and soft modes of the quark gluon plasma medium that future radiative energy loss research push beyond the lowest order collinear approximation.

Using low-temperature molecular beam epitaxy at 130 $^circ$C, we realize epitaxial growth of ferromagnetic Fe$_{3}$Si layers on Si (111) with keeping an abrupt interface, and the grown Fe$_{3}$Si layer has the ordered $DO_{3}$ phase. Measurements of magnetic and electrical properties for the Fe$_{3}$Si/Si(111) yield a magnetic moment of ~ 3.16 $mu_{B}$/f.u. at room temperature and a rectifying Schottky-diode behavior with the ideality factor of ~ 1.08, respectively.

description: The magnetic phase diagram of Ce$_2$Pd$_2$Sn is investigated through the field dependence of thermal, transport and magnetic measurements performed at low temperature. The upper transition, $T_M=4.8$ K is practically not affected by magnetic field up to B=1 T, whereas the lower one $T_C(B)$ rapidly increases from 2.1 K joining $T_M$ in a critical point at $T_{cr}=(4.2\pm 0.3$)K for $B_{cr}=(0.12\pm 0.03)$ T. At that point the intermediate phase, previously described as an unstable Shastry-Sutherland phase, is suppressed. A detailed analysis around the critical point reveals a structure in the maximum of the $\partial M/\partial B(B)$ derivative which could be related to the formation of a novel phase in that critical region.

description: Spectral line surveys are useful since they allow identification of new molecules and new lines in uniformly calibrated data sets. Nonetheless, large portions of the sub-millimetre spectral regime remain unexplored due to severe absorptions by H2O and O2 in the terrestrial atmosphere. The purpose of the measurements presented here is to cover wavelength regions at and around 0.55 mm -- regions largely unobservable from the ground. Using the Odin astronomy/aeronomy satellite, we performed the first spectral survey of the Orion KL molecular cloud core in the bands 486--492 and 541--576 GHz with rather uniform sensitivity (22--25 mK baseline noise). Odin's 1.1 m size telescope, equipped with four cryo-cooled tuneable mixers connected to broad band spectrometers, was used in a satellite position-switching mode. Two mixers simultaneously observed different 1.1 GHz bands using frequency steps of 0.5 GHz (25 hours each). An on-source integration time of 20 hours was achieved for most bands. The entire campaign consumed ~1100 orbits, each containing one hour of serviceable astro-observation. We identified 280 spectral lines from 38 known interstellar molecules (including isotopologues) having intensities in the range 80 to 0.05 K. An additional 64 weak lines remain unidentified. Apart from the ground state rotational 1(1,0)--1(0,1) transitions of ortho-H2O, H218O and H217O, the high energy 6(2,4)--7(1,7) line of para-H2O and the HDO(2,0,2--1,1,1) line have been observed, as well as the 1,0--0,1 lines from NH3 and its rare isotopologue 15NH3. We suggest assignments for some unidentified features, notably the new interstellar molecules ND and SH-. Severe blends have been detected in the line wings of the H218O, H217O and 13CO lines changing the true linewidths of the outflow emission.

Scattering Theory of Current-Induced Spin Polarization
Creators: name: Jacquod, Ph.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We construct a novel scattering theory to investigate magnetoelectrically induced spin polarizations. Local spin polarizations generated by electric currents passing through a spin-orbit coupled mesoscopic system are measured by an external probe. The electrochemical and spin-dependent chemical potentials on the probe are controllable and tuned to values ensuring that neither charge nor spin current flow between the system and the probe, on time-average. For the relevant case of a single-channel probe, we find that the resulting potentials are exactly independent of the transparency of the contact between the probe and the system. Assuming that spin relaxation processes are absent in the probe, we therefore identify the local spin-dependent potentials in the sample at the probe position, and hence the local current-induced spin polarization, with the spin-dependent potentials in the probe itself. The statistics of these local chemical potentials is calculated within random matrix theory. While they vanish on spatial and mesoscopic average, they exhibit large fluctuations, and we show that single systems typically have spin polarizations exceeding all known current-induced spin polarizations by a parametrically large factor. Our theory allows to calculate quantum correlations between spin polarizations inside the sample and spin currents flowing out of it. We show that these large polarizations correlate only weakly with spin currents in external leads, and that only a fraction of them can be converted into a spin current in the linear regime of transport, which is consistent with the mesoscopic universality of spin conductance fluctuations. We numerically confirm the theory.

description: Graphene has many unique properties that make it an ideal material for fundamental studies as well as for potential applications. Here we review the recent results on the Raman spectroscopy and imaging of graphene. Raman spectroscopy and imaging can be used as a quick and unambiguous method to determine the number of graphene layers. Following, the strong Raman signal of single layer graphene compared to graphite is explained by an interference enhancement model. We have also studied the effect of substrates, the top layer deposition, the annealing process, as well as folding (stacking order) on the physical and electronic properties of graphene. Finally, Raman spectroscopy of epitaxial graphene grown on SiC substrate is presented and strong compressive strain on epitaxial graphene is observed. The results presented here are closely related to the application of graphene on nano-electronic device and help on the better understanding of physical and electronic properties of graphene.

Publisher: name: Corporate Governance Research Initiative
Year: 2020

description: There has been a broad push in recent years to increase diversity at the board and CEO levels of public corporations. Despite this effort, diversity on boards and in senior leadership positions has not reached the levels to which advocates aspire. We provide new insight into this topic by examining the size, structure, and demographic makeup of the C-suite (the CEO and the direct reports to the CEO) in each of the Fortune 100 companies. Demographic statistics by each functional role are provided. Organizational charts of the C-suites of each company as of February 2020 are provided by reference. We find that women (and, to a lesser extent, racially diverse executives) who directly report to the CEO are underrepresented in positions that directly feed into future CEO and board roles (such as CFO and P&L leaders) and have greater representation in positions that are less likely to lead to these appointments (such as general counsel or human resources). That is, diversity statistics in the C-suite — even though low — still overstate the likelihood of increased diversity among corporate leadership in coming years. We ask: At what step along the way does the process of promoting diverse executives break down? Should companies disclose diversity in greater detail by level or function? What accounts for the fact that women have much higher representation in lower potential C-suite roles? What accounts for the very low levels of racial diversity across C-suite roles? When will company initiatives actually lead to tangible improvements in diversity?

After dark : architecture and the art of projection in 'outer space'
Creators: name: Brown, JM
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This practice-led inquiry investigates concepts and practices of projection-mapping light images onto architectural fa‚àövüades after dark with a view to discovering specific ways in which this form of public art impacts on, extends or transforms, experience of place. Spectacular new configurations of the medium have emerged in the 21st century, driven by global economic forces and advances in increasingly powerful digital technologies. In many parts of Australia, large-scale projections on fa‚àövüades of iconic buildings have become virtually de rigueur in significant cultural celebrations and arts festivals. They have, in particular, become the prime focus for a new wave of urban festivals such as Sydney's Vivid, Melbourne's White Night, and Enlighten Canberra. Underpinning this emerging cultural scene are complex negotiations between the arts and corporate sponsors, competing agendas for public space, government and commercial interests in 'urban branding' for tourism, and corporate marketing. Internationally, this is a new field of creative practice yet to be subjected to research and critical discourse. This study focuses on the Australian context of emerging projection practices. The term 'lumentecture' serves as a succinct referent to the phenomenon since it draws into equal partnership the ephemeral qualities of image projection and the enduring materiality of a host surface. I introduce lumentecture as a contemporary arts practice with a hybrid cross-disciplinary heritage that encompasses proto- and pre-cinema, experimental arts movements, expanded cinema, and architecture as media fa‚àövüade. My inquiry follows three inter-related trajectories to probe lumentecture's significance in 21st century Australian arts and culture contexts. Development of my own practice is grounded in site research and direct responses to place at a particular rural location in northern Tasmania, as well as informed by field studies and online research into lumentecture installations around the country. In tandem with practice, inter-disciplinary reading in contemporary arts, cinema, new media, architecture, history and spatial studies has led to formulation of a set of key elements for reflecting on lumentecture's distinctive vectors as contemporary spectacle: cartography, milieu, temporality, topology, surface and chorography. This conceptual framework forms a scaffold for discussion of exemplars from field studies and my own practice through the main body of the exegesis. The outcome of the inquiry is a lumentecture installation on farm buildings at a remote rural site, an 'outer space' for working with and against elements of projected spectacle in counterpoint with lumentecture's prevailing urban-centred spectacular excesses. My larger aim is to contribute some useful coordinates to ongoing conversations between creative practitioners, audiences and critics interested in this fast-changing, intriguing and contentious field of creative expression.
Dry and wet interfaces: Influence of solvent particles on molecular recognition

description: We present a coarse-grained lattice model to study the influence of water on the recognition process of two rigid proteins. The basic model is formulated in terms of the hydrophobic effect. We then investigate several modifications of our basic model showing that the selectivity of the recognition process can be enhanced by considering the explicit influence of single solvent particles. When the number of cavities at the interface of a protein-protein complex is fixed as an intrinsic geometric constraint, there typically exists a characteristic fraction that should be filled with water molecules such that the selectivity exhibits a maximum. In addition the optimum fraction depends on the hydrophobicity of the interface so that one has to distinguish between dry and wet interfaces.

description: We study the statistics of quantum interference for completely positive maps. We calculate analytically the mean interference and its second moment for finite dimensional quantum systems interacting with a simple environment consisting of one or several spins (qudits). The joint propagation of the entire system is taken as unitary with an evolution operator drawn from the Circular Unitary Ensemble (CUE). We show that the mean interference decays with a power law as function of the dimension of the Hilbert space of the environment, with a power that depends on the temperature of the environment.

description: Despite their poor tolerance, weak opioids are still the most commonly-prescribed medicine for osteoarthritis (OA)-related pain. The objective of this network meta-analysis was to comparatively examine the efficacy and safety of weak opioids in OA treatment. Databases including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science were searched from inception to 4 April 2022 to retrieve randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing weak opioids with placebo or between one another in OA patients. Bayesian network meta-analysis was performed on the following outcomes of interest, namely the change-from-baseline score in pain relief, gastrointestinal (GI) adverse events (AEs), central nervous system (CNS) AEs, and total number of AEs (i.e. the number of subjects experiencing any AE for at least once) during follow-up. The surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) was used to rank the effectiveness of each treatment and identify the best treatment. A total of 14 RCTs invoving four types of weak opioids were included in this meta-analysis. Compared to placebo, tramadol (standardized mean difference [SMD] = −0.34, 95% credible interval [CrI]: −0.53 to −0.18) and codeine (SMD = −0.39, 95% CrI: −0.79 to −0.04) were effective for pain relief, but involved a higher risk of GI AEs, CNS AEs and total number of AEs. Dextropropoxyphene demonstrated a significantly lower risk of GI AEs (OR = 0.28, 95%CrI: 0.17 to 0.51), CNS AEs (OR = 0.29, 95%CrI: 0.11 to 0.78) and total number of AEs (OR = 0.35, 95%CrI: 0.15 to 0.82) compared to codeine. Dihydrocodeine had a better safety profile in CNS AEs (SUCRA = 64.8%) and total number of AEs (SUCRA = 66.6%). The results of the present study confirmed that tramadol and codeine were effective drugs for the treatment of OA, but involved considerable safety issues. Dextropropoxyphene and dihydrocodeine exhibited a relatively good safety profile but their efficacy still warrant further investigation.
Mechanism of the cytolytic action of corticosteroids and its relationship to corticosteroid-resistance in malignant lymphocytes
Creators: name: Turnell, Roger William

description: When cells of the thymus or mouse lymphosarcoma P1798S are treated in vitro with 0.27 µM Cortisol in tissue culture medium with 10% serum or 0.5% human albumen, nuclear damage ending with karyorrhexis occurs. The steroid-resistant subline P1798R does not show these changes. The corticosteroid-sensitive lymphocytes which undergo lysis differ in several respects from the resistant subline. Most critical, apparently, is the capacity for oxidation of free fatty acids (FFA). This was determined by the evolution of ¹⁴CO₂ from labelled substrates, and isotope dilution with unlabelled substrate. Corticosteroid treatment in vivo for 2 hours raised the FFA in thymus and P1798S cells by 77% and 58%, respectively, while decreasing the resistant subline P1798R by 26%. In vitro, Cortisol had no effect on uptake of ¹⁴C-palmitic acid but decreased oxidation by 46% and 17% in thymus and P1798S, respectively, while increasing 9% in P1798R. After incubation of sensitive cells in medium containing FFA calculated to be equivalent to that accumulated after steroid treatment, electronmicroscopy revealed that certain effects of corticosteroids could be reproduced by fatty acids of chain length C-9 and higher: nuclear edema, focal dissolution and disintegration of the nuclear membrane and ultimately karyolysis. Steroid-resistant cells show cytological changes only at tenfold higher concentrations of FFA. On the basis of these results the following scheme is proposed as the mechanism by which cytolysis occurs in corticosteroid-sensitive lymphoid tissues:[See Thesis for Diagram] In an attempt to render resistant cells sensitive to the cytolytic actions of corticosteroids, studies were carried out where the oxidation of free fatty acids was inhibited in an attempt to induce an accumulation of FFA. Inhibition of oxidation by deoxycarnitine in the steroid-resistant P1798R, L5178Y, and L1210 tumors results in some lysis. Much more effective, however, are compounds with branched structures, which cannot undergo 3-oxidation but can be oxidized to mono- or dicarboxylic acids which are lytic. In thymocytes, P1798S and P1798R, FFA did not affect the in vitro incorporation of ¹⁴C-leucine and ³H-uridine into a 5% TCA insoluble precipitate. The incorporation of ³H-thymidine was only slightly reduced in the steroid-responsive cells. This suggests that some steroid effects, for example, those of immunosuppression, might be dissociable from those involving accumulation of FFA which lead to nuclear damage and cytolysis of sensitive cells.
Quantum Algorithm for Preparing Thermal Gibbs States - Detailed Analysis

description: In a recent work [10], Poulin and one of us presented a quantum algorithm for preparing thermal Gibbs states of interacting quantum systems. This algorithm is based on Grovers's technique for quantum state engineering, and its running time is dominated by the factor D/Z(β), where D and Z(β) denote the dimension of the quantum system and its partition function at inverse temperature β, respectively. We present here a modified algorithm and a more detailed analysis of the errors that arise due to imperfect simulation of Hamiltonian time evolutions and limited performance of phase estimation (finite accuracy and nonzero probability of failure). This modfication together with the tighter analysis allows us to prove a better running time by the effect of these sources of error on the overall complexity. We think that the ideas underlying of our new analysis could also be used to prove a better performance of quantum Metropolis sampling by Temme et al. [12].

Scourge of the establishment : Albert Ogilvie and Tasmanian society, 1890-1939
Creators: name: Briggs, JF
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis examines the life of Albert George Ogilvie, the former Premier of Tasmania, and seeks to demonstrate that he was unique among Tasmanian leaders, before or since, in his drive and determination to succeed, while deliberately placing himself outside the local Establishment. Ogilvie was the grandson of convicts on both sides and grew up in Tasmania, far from high society or privilege. His humble beginnings did not prevent him from becoming a brilliant scholar, lawyer and politician and he became a thorn in the side of conservative politics and everything that implies. Ogilvie's battles with the forces of conservatism were often bitter and he made many enemies, sometimes within his own Labor Party, as well as the old Establishment, which he hated. It was an attitude richly reciprocated by traditionalists. Ogilvie was born in a bedroom of the Victoria Tavern in 1890, where his parents were publicans. He died at the age of 49, while in office. He was one of the then youngest men to be elected to the Tasmanian Parliament and was the youngest King's Counsel in the Commonwealth. Ogilvie was impatient to reform Tasmania and to prod away at those more willing to march to the beat of a slower drum. Ogilvie was many decades ahead of most contemporaries, mooting no fault divorce when a young Attorney-General in the Lyons Government, a stance opposed by his leader, a devout Roman Catholic. Ogilvie sought to abolish the ultra-conservative Legislative Council, along with the office of Tasmanian Governor. He brought in changes to hotel closing time and gambling restrictions. He promised, and delivered, the abolition of high school fees and delivered free medical services and cheap medicine. Among Ogilvie's major targets were those he branded 'wowsers' and his battles with these people, both inside and outside the Parliament, were entertaining and often bitter. Ogilvie was a champion of the downtrodden in the post-Great Depression years when he was in office. He created employment through 'work for the dole' projects such as the road to the pinnacle of Mount Wellington and industrialisation of the state through hydro-electric schemes. He helped bring Jewish refugees to Australia, who were fleeing the Nazi and Fascist regimes in Europe. He also promoted tourism as a major panacea for a depressed economy, displaying a vision for Tasmania, previously only lightly touched. This thesis is thematic, rather than chronological, and seeks to display the anti-Establishment aspect of his time in public life, rather than delving into the day-to-day political struggles.

description: High-temperature superconducting microbridges implemented with YBa(2)Cu(3)O(7-delta) thin-films are shown to be possible fault current limiters for microelectronic devices with some elements working at temperatures below the superconducting critical temperature and, simultaneously, under very low power conditions (below 1W). This is the case in the important applications of superconductors as SQUID based electronics, and technologies for communication or infrared detectors. In this paper it is shown that the good thermal behavior of these microlimiters allows working in a regime where even relatively small faults induce their transition to highly dissipative states, dramatically increasing their limitation efficiency. The conditions for optimal refrigeration and operation of these microlimiters are also proposed.
