Curriculum management in TAFE colleges : a case study of Launceston College of TAFE, School of Commerce/Secretarial Studies introduction of commerce/secetarial new (1986) curriculum
Creators: name: Frost, JC
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The School of Commerce/Secretarial Studies, Launceston College of Technical and Further Education has been used to provide a case study on the introduction of new (1986) commerce/secretarial studies curriculum. A short history of commercial and secretarial training with particular emphasis on Launceston college of TAFE is outlined. The study has focussed on the subject of Typing Stage 1 (new curriculum) and Typewriting 1 (old curriculum) although other subjects, communication and office skills, are also mentioned. Observation of resistance to change and teachers' attitudes before and after the introduction are studied, together with the identified problems associated with the innovation. A comparison of the old and new curriculum documents is undertaken and differences in formatting, length and content identified. Student results for the years 1985 and 1986 are compared. Differences in marking the old examination system compared to the new progressive assessment are highlighted. A detailed description of the situation analysis in both 1985 and 1986 is documented which includes the courses for which a State Certificate is issued on successful completion. Developmental problems associated with writing the new curriculum and the production of teaching/learning resources are discussed, together with other difficulties associated with curriculum development. A comprehensive background to the advent of the new curriculum is provided with a description of the development of the National Common Core Curriculum to which each state TAFE authority had an input in an attempt to provide a national basic standard qualification for Secretarial & Administrative Studies - Level 1. A detailed description of a survey of Tasmanian employers is given which identifies major employers' needs which have been accommodated in the new curriculum. Finally some future predictions regarding the curriculum and the direction of secretarial training and employment are made.
Tuning the conductance of molecular junctions: transparent versus tunneling regimes

description: We present a theoretical study of the transport characteristics of molecular junctions, where first-row diatomic molecules are attached to (001) gold and platinum electrodes. We find that the conductance of all of these junctions is of the order of the conductance quantum unit $G_0$, spelling out that they belong to the transparent regime. We further find that the transmission coefficients show wide plateaus as a function of the energy, instead of the usual sharp resonances that signal the molecular levels in the tunneling regime. We use Caroli's model to show that this is a rather generic property of the transparent regime of a junction, which is driven by a strong effective coupling between the delocalized molecular levels and the conduction channels at the electrodes. We analyse the transmission coefficients and chemical bonding of gold/Benzene and gold/Benzene-dithiolate (BDT) junctions to understand why the later show large resistances, while the former are highly conductive.

description: We report on studies of the structure and dynamics of the (001)surface of single crystal LiCu2O2, investigated by He beam scattering at room temperature, and with lattice dynamical models. The best fit surface corrugation to measured diffraction patterns shows that the surface termination is exclusively a Li+1Cu+2O-2 plane. Lattice dynamics fits to inelastic He scattering spectra reveal the presence of two low-lying surface phonon modes, identified with the motion of Cu+2, Li+1 surface ions normal to the surface.

description: Teaching and classroom instruction had been a coral issue for many years in educational areas, and different methods had been attempted and practiced throughout the history of the teaching method. Among the methods, lecture-based classes have been the most widely used in many teaching spheres. Kapur (2020) indicates that the lecture method is considered to be based on the philosophy of idealism. In this type of method, the teachers are more active during the process, and the students are passive listeners.

Evolution of initially localized perturbations in stratified ionized disks

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A detailed solution of an initial value problem of a vertically localized initial perturbation in rotating magnetized vertically stratified disk is presented. The appropriate linearized MHD equations are solved by employing the WKB approximation and the results are verified numerically. The eigenfrequencies as well as eigenfunctions are explicitly obtained. It is demonstrated that the initial perturbation remains confined within the disk. It is further shown that thin enough disks are stable but as their thickness grows increasing number of unstable modes participate in the solution of the initial value problem. However it is demonstrated that due to the localization of the initial perturbation the growth time of the instability is significantly longer than the calculated inverse growth rate of the individual unstable eigenfunctions.

Perth Modern School : the first ten years
Creators: name: Douglass, Angela
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This study examines the first ten years of Perth Modern School, from 1911 - 1921, and its role in the establishment of state secondary education in Western Australia. The struggle of Cecil Andrews, the Director of Education, to gain support for the notion of free and secular secondary education is documented, together with the influence of the first two headmasters, F.G. Brown and Joseph Parsons, who were both responsible in their own ways for establishing the ethos of the school which became the model for future state high schools in Western Australia. Broad questions of the aims and functions of Perth Modern School and the increasingly academic elitism which developed during the first decade as a selective state high school are addressed in the light of economic, political and social conditions of the period. A narrower and more specific examination is made of the composition of students and staff in the first ten years, entry qualifications to the school and the curriculum in the lower and upper schools. Archival research was undertaken over several years at the Battye Library, the Rooney Library, the Education Department, the Perth Modern School archives and in the Perth Modern School's Principal's office. It is disappointing that very little new material has come to light in response to the extensive search, but some small satisfaction was gained by the discovery of certain uncatalogued documents in the Principal's office filing cabinet which have added to the body of knowledge on the subject. Oral history was employed extensively and is considered to be a valuable contribution to the subject. Originally this study was to have covered the period 1911-1958: unfortunately when the decision was made to limit it to the first decade much of the information obtained by the oral history research method could not then be quoted within the narrow confines of the dissertation. It did however serve as useful background material and could be employed in a future study with a broader framework of reference. The writer was a teacher at the school and while on the staff became concerned at the number of past students from the first decade whose deaths were reported without any documentation of their early recollections of school life. An attempt was made to reach as many from the period 1911 - 1921 that could be interviewed and every care has been taken to verify personal statements. No educational history has been written of Perth Modern School. This study seeks to raise certain questions and fill part of the gap on this subject in the history of education in Western Australia.
Metallicity measurements in AGNs

description: Measuring metallicity in the nuclear regions of AGNs is difficult because only a few lines are observed and ionization correction becomes a major problem. Nitrogen to carbon ratio has been widely used as an indicator for metallicity, but precise measurements have been lacking. We made such measurements for the first time using a wide baseline of ionization states with observations from FUSE, HST and Chandra. OVI observations with FUSE were crucial in this effort. We measured super-solar metallicities in two AGNs and found that N/C does not scale with metallicity. This suggests that chemical enrichment scenario in nuclear regions of galaxies may be different from traditional models of metal enrichment.

description: We study a complex non-newtonian fluid that models the flow of nematic liquid crystals. The fluid is described by a system that couples a forced Navier-Stokes system with a parabolic-type system. We prove the existence of global weak solutions in dimensions two and three. We show the existence of a Lyapunov functional for the smooth solutions of the coupled system and use the cancellations that allow its existence to prove higher global regularity, in dimension two. We also show the weak-strong uniqueness in dimension two.

description: We investigate the behavior of colloidal particles immersed in a binary liquid mixture of water and 2,6-lutidine in the presence of a chemically patterned substrate. Close to the critical point of the mixture, the particles are subjected to critical Casimir interactions with force components normal and parallel to the surface. Because the strength and sign of these interactions can be tuned by variations in the surface properties and the mixtures temperature, critical Casimir forces allow the formation of highly ordered monolayers but also extend the use of colloids as model systems.

Autonomous Landing of a UAV on a Moving Platform

description: Due to the high popularity that drones are gaining over the last decades, a lot of researchers are focusing their attention to solve problems related to autonomous flight. Between all the possible task that can be performed using drones, the autonomous landing of an unmanned aerial vehicle on a moving platform seems to be a very good solution to some of the problems that arise using drones, as for example the limited operational range. In this work, the autonomous landing on a moving platform is solved using a low-cost solution. In fact, the hardware platform used presents a limited computational power and is equipped with a moderate number of sensors. Thanks to the compatibility of the micro-UAV with Matlab and Simulink, a mobel-based software design approach has been implemented. Moreover, the code generation principle has been used to transform models in C++ code that can be run on the on board processor of the drone. Starting from a project developed by MathWorks, the flight control system of the flying robot has been designed. In particular, a vision system able to get information from the environment and a path planning algorithm have been developed taking into account all the limitations imposed by the hardware platform. Once that the simulated results match the expected ones, the control system has been tested in a real environment in order to validate the design. In addition to that, the performances of this implementation have been analyzed in different conditions and finally compared. The approach presented in this paper has numerous application to autonomous landing and docking of UAVs, mid-air refueling and surveillance. Our ability to use low-cost hardware to achieve this allows for the use of simple drones with low payload overhead.

Studies in the cytology and physiology of pollen.
Creators: name: Fitter, Rosalind M
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The structure and function of pollen have long been subjects of curiosity and speculation. Even before the concept of sexuality in plants was generally accepted (see Wodehouse, 1935), natural scientists such as Nehemiah Grew and Marcello Malpighi had recorded observations on pollen morphology and hinted at some possible functions of pollen. Wodehouse (1935) quotes from Grew's \Anatomy of Plants\" published in 1682 and from Malpighi's Opera omnia (1687) pointing out the comparatively high degree of accuracy in their descriptions of pollen but at the same time revealing their uncertainty at its \"higher purpose\". A few sentences from these works serve to illustrate attitudes to botanical investigation at that time. Describing pollen grains Grew says: \"The Particles of these powders though like those of Meal or Dust they appear not easily to have any regular shape; yet upon strict observation especially with the assistance of an indifferent Glass it doth appear that they are a Congeries usually of so many perfect Globes or Globulets; sometimes of other Figure but always regular. That which obscures their Figure is their being so small: In Dogs-Mercury Borage and very many other Plants they are extremely so. In Mallows and some others more fairly visible. \"The Colour of these small particles contained in the Theca is also different. But as that is usually white or yellow so are these: sometimes Blewish; but never Red. And sometimes not of the same Colour with that of the Theca. Which further shows how scrupulous Nature is in differentiating the Tincture of the several parts.\" Although not as detailed Malpighi's descriptions were essentially similar to those of Grew. However he tended to interpret the function of pollen in terms of human physiology: \"The pollen dust is likewise a mere secretion.. .prior to the .maturation of the ovum.. .and may be compared perhaps to the menstrual discharge of women.\" Few advances in the study of pollen were made during the next century and a half. Further work was forced to wait upon improvements in microscopy made towards the turn of the eighteenth century."

description: The EROS-2 project has been designed to search for microlensing events towards any dense stellar field. The densest parts of the Galactic spiral arms have been monitored to maximize the microlensing signal expected from the stars of the Galactic disk and bulge. 12.9 million stars have been monitored during 7 seasons towards 4 directions in the Galactic plane, away from the Galactic center. A total of 27 microlensing event candidates have been found. Estimates of the optical depths from the 22 best events are provided. A first order interpretation shows that simple Galactic models with a standard disk and an elongated bulge are in agreement with our observations. We find that the average microlensing optical depth towards the complete EROS-cataloged stars of the spiral arms is $\barτ =0.51\pm .13\times 10^{-6}$, a number that is stable when the selection criteria are moderately varied. As the EROS catalog is almost complete up to $I_C=18.5$, the optical depth estimated for the sub-sample of bright target stars with $I_C<18.5$ ($\barτ=0.39\pm >.11\times 10^{-6}$) is easier to interpret. The set of microlensing events that we have observed is consistent with a simple Galactic model. A more precise interpretation would require either a better knowledge of the distance distribution of the target stars, or a simulation based on a Galactic model. For this purpose, we define and discuss the concept of optical depth for a given catalog or for a limiting magnitude.

description: Conventional kinesin is a dimeric motor protein that transports membranous organelles toward the plus-end of microtubules (MTs). Individual kinesin dimers show steadfast directionality and hundreds of consecutive steps, yetthe detailed physical mechanism remains unclear. Here we compute free energies for the entire dimer-MT system for all possible interacting configurations by taking full account of molecular details. Employing merely first principles and several measured binding and barrier energies, the system-level analysis reveals insurmountable energy gaps between configurations, asymmetric ground state caused by mechanically lifted configurational degeneracy, and forbidden transitions ensuring coordination between both motor domains for alternating catalysis. This wealth of physical effects converts a kinesin dimer into a molecular ratchet-and-pawl device, which determinedly locks the dimer's movement into the MT plus-end and ensures consecutive steps in hand-over-hand gait.Under a certain range of extreme loads, however, the ratchet-and-pawl device becomes defective but not entirely abolished to allow consecutive back-steps. This study yielded quantitative evidence that kinesin's multiple molecular properties have been evolutionarily adapted to fine-tune the ratchet-and-pawl device so as to ensure the motor's distinguished performance.

Trends in forestry mechanization and concepts for containerized seeding in New Zealand
Creators: name: Page, Arthur Ian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Review of the literature on the future of wood resulted in the conclusion that long term future demand will be for large quantities of cheap fibre. There is likely to be a reduction in emphasis on the form and dimension of individual trees. Mechanization and automation are defined and the relative importance of tree establishment within the total forest industry noted. Some general principles of forest mechanization are proposed and discussed. The New Zealand potentials for wood fibre production and forest mechanization are analysed. Reforestation history of radiata pine (Pinus radiata, D.Don.) in New Zealand is briefly described, and the basis for, and problems with, bare-root planting are discussed. An alternative tree establishment system, involving the precision setting of a bullet-like container enclosing a seed, is proposed. The case for this theoretical system is argued on the basis of its potential biological equality with bare-root planting, which the author considers to be sufficiently promising to be worthy of field investigation, and its suitability to total mechanization. Some possible costs of the system are calculated and potential benefits are postulated. It is concluded that the concept is worthy of careful field study in New Zealand.

Predicting System Behavior through Deep Learning of Process Mining Models and Generalization Metric
Creators: name: Theis, Julian
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: With the ongoing digitization of industries and the rising number of interconnected devices, an increasing amount of system recordings are created. Process mining describes a set of techniques that help with the automatic discovery of mathematical models from such system recordings. The generated mathematical models represent the dynamic behavior of the system. The analysis of the discovered models might reveal important knowledge about the system behavior that is otherwise difficult if not impossible to obtain. Process mining techniques mainly rely on discrete event system theories in constructing the corresponding mathematical models. Therefore, they perform poorly when continuous measures such as time and probabilities of the system events need to be considered. On the other hand, such measures can be effectively modeled and predicted through deep learning. This dissertation focuses on the symbiosis of process mining and deep learning to confidently model the underlying system and predict its behavior by incorporating the advantages of both disciplines. The potentials of the proposed methodologies are demonstrated with an application in the healthcare domain.

description: By a computer simulation approach we study the scattering of $p$- or $s$-polarized light from a two-dimensional, randomly rough, perfectly conducting surface. The pair of coupled inhomogeneous integral equations for two independent tangential components of the magnetic field on the surface are converted into matrix equations by the method of moments, which are then solved by the biconjugate gradient stabilized method. The solutions are used to calculate the mean differential reflection coefficient for given angles of incidence and specified polarizations of the incident and scattered fields. The full angular distribution of the intensity of the scattered light is obtained for strongly randomly rough surfaces by a rigorous computer simulation approach.

Sonata #3 for Solo Piano "The Dodecahedral Sonata (PART 3)
Creators: name: Elia, Anthony J.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2013
Subjects: Music

description: The Piano Sonata #3 (Named the “Dodecahedral Sonata” because of its 12-parts or “sides”) was written in June 2013 for NYC pianist Ishmael Wallace, over the course of ~48 hours. Over the last decade and a half, the composer struggled to complete a full solo piano sonata, attempting several times. While attempts had been made in the late 1990s and early 2000s to write such a piece, it wasn't until 2008, with the Piano Sonata #1, that a serious undertaking was made. This first sonata was (inspired by) and composed after hearing a piano work commissioned for Elliot Carter played on the radio by Chicago pianist Winston Choi. Unfortunately, only 25 pages of this one-movement sonata were completed, and by 2013, the manuscript had been misplaced. In the Spring of 2013, the Piano Sonata #2 was begun around the 100th Anniversary of Stravinsky’s “Rite of Spring” Premiere --a homage to Stravinsky's work. Six pages were composed of this next sonata (the “Uncontrolled Sonata”), after which the composer’s notation software malfunctioned. Soon after, the composer had a conversation with his friend, the pianist Ishmael Wallace. After this conversation about compositional styles with Mr. Wallace, which took place on a Wednesday (June 5th), two days later, on Friday, June 7th, the composer began working on the Piano Sonata #3, which is presented here, and completed the 12-part work by that same Sunday, June 9th. Each part has a distinct flavor to it; Part 10, the shortest of all the composer’s works, consists of “10-note” multi-dimensional 16th note in one measure. Though performers and critics might find this “gimmicky,” it’s meant to express the various forms of musical expression in the complexity of the sonata form, and how it has been altered, augmented, and re-created in this present work. Part 12 is a recapitulation, almost identical to Part 1 with slightly broader complexity of notation, and both the first and last sections are to be performed with bold and sweeping power. As with most of the composer’s works, minimalism in dynamics and articulation offers performers a greater sense of freedom and flexibility of interpretation.

We here consider what controls the transition from a primordial to a modern initial mass function. It has been proposed that this occurs when effective metal line cooling occurs at a metallicity threshold of Z/Z_sun > 10^{-3.5}. We study the influence of low levels of metal enrichment on the cooling and collapse of initially ionized gas in small protogalactic halos using three-dimensional, smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations with particle splitting. Our initial conditions represent protogalaxies forming within a previously ionized H ii region that has not yet had time to cool and recombine. These differ considerably from those used in simulations predicting a metallicity threshold, where the gas was initially cold and only partially ionized. In the centrally condensed potential that we study here, a wide variety of initial conditions for the gas yield a monolithic central collapse. Our models show no fragmentation during collapse to number densities as high as 10^5 cm^{-3}, for metallicities reaching as high as 10^{-1} Z_sun in one rotating case, far above the threshold suggested by previous work. Rotation allows for the formation of gravitationally stable gas disks over large fractions of the local Hubble time. Turbulence slows the growth of the central density slightly, but both spherically symmetric and turbulent initial conditions collapse and form a single sink particle. We therefore argue that fragmentation at moderate density depends on the initial conditions for star formation more than on the metal abundances present.

description: Аннотация. В статье изучена система школьного образования Крыма в годы немецко-румынской оккупации как один из элементов организации противником пропагандисткой работы среди населения. Источниковая база исследования сформирована на основе архивных документальных и газетных материалов, что позволило изучить основные направления деятельности оккупационной администрации по реализации пропагандистских мероприятий среди учителей и школьников региона. Установлено, что германская оккупационная администрация была обеспокоена «аполитичностью» учителей школ на оккупированной территории, их нежеланием транслировать нацистскую пропаганду. Оккупационный «Штаб пропаганды Крыма» пытался различными способами изменить ситуацию в направлении большей лояльности учителей оккупантов. Но освобождение Крыма Красной Армией в апреле–мае 1944 года положило этому конец. 

Abstract. The article examines the school education system of Crimea during the years of the German-Romanian occupation as one of the elements of the organization of propaganda work among the population by the enemy. The source base of the study is formed on the basis of archival documentary and newspaper materials, which made it possible to study the main areas of activity of the occupation administration in implementing propaganda activities among teachers and schoolchildren of the region. It was established that the German occupation administration was concerned about the "apoliticality" of school teachers in the occupied territory, their unwillingness to broadcast Nazi propaganda. The occupation "Crimean Propaganda Headquarters" tried in various ways to change the situation in the direction of greater loyalty of the occupiers' teachers. But the liberation of Crimea by the Red Army in April-May 1944 put an end to this.
Christmas Oratorio "Nativitatis Christi" (PART 2: Magnificat, 42 pp.)
Creators: name: Elia, Anthony J.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2011
Subjects: Music

description: The Christmas Oratorio “Nativitatis Christi” was written mostly in the Fall of 2011. The first four parts were written in September and October of 2011 (including the Organ Prelude), while the latter parts were begun in the Spring of 2012. As of July 2013, the oratorio is incomplete, with at least three more sections to be written (in Swahili-French, Russian, and German). The Oratorio was written for the diverse community of Union Theological Seminary in New York City. The texts of the Oratorio are biblical, but are in different languages, including Latin, Greek, English, French, Swahili, Russian, and German. The Magnificat is a work, which is meant to convey the high church tradition of Latin liturgy, while the Benedictus is a blessing meant to encompass the divergence and convergence of church traditions (Soprani (“High” Church language)=Latin, Bass (“Low” Common language)=English, Central Voices of Tenor/Alti=Greek, the ancient foundational language used here, anchoring the tradition and the music to a pivot point). The other parts of this work have similar explanations, which will be provided when available in Academic Commons. This second part is for mixed chorus and organ.
Sonata #3 for Solo Piano "The Dodecahedral Sonata" (PART 10)
Creators: name: Elia, Anthony J.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2013
Subjects: Music

description: The Piano Sonata #3 (Named the “Dodecahedral Sonata” because of its 12-parts or “sides”) was written in June 2013 for NYC pianist Ishmael Wallace, over the course of ~48 hours. Over the last decade and a half, the composer struggled to complete a full solo piano sonata, attempting several times. While attempts had been made in the late 1990s and early 2000s to write such a piece, it wasn't until 2008, with the Piano Sonata #1, that a serious undertaking was made. This first sonata was (inspired by) and composed after hearing a piano work commissioned for Elliot Carter played on the radio by Chicago pianist Winston Choi. Unfortunately, only 25 pages of this one-movement sonata were completed, and by 2013, the manuscript had been misplaced. In the Spring of 2013, the Piano Sonata #2 was begun around the 100th Anniversary of Stravinsky’s “Rite of Spring” Premiere --a homage to Stravinsky's work. Six pages were composed of this next sonata (the “Uncontrolled Sonata”), after which the composer’s notation software malfunctioned. Soon after, the composer had a conversation with his friend, the pianist Ishmael Wallace. After this conversation about compositional styles with Mr. Wallace, which took place on a Wednesday (June 5th), two days later, on Friday, June 7th, the composer began working on the Piano Sonata #3, which is presented here, and completed the 12-part work by that same Sunday, June 9th. Each part has a distinct flavor to it; Part 10, the shortest of all the composer’s works, consists of “10-note” multi-dimensional 16th note in one measure. Though performers and critics might find this “gimmicky,” it’s meant to express the various forms of musical expression in the complexity of the sonata form, and how it has been altered, augmented, and re-created in this present work. Part 12 is a recapitulation, almost identical to Part 1 with slightly broader complexity of notation, and both the first and last sections are to be performed with bold and sweeping power. As with most of the composer’s works, minimalism in dynamics and articulation offers performers a greater sense of freedom and flexibility of interpretation.

The Capabilities of Family and Friends: How Nepali Immigrants to Canada Experience and Overcome Digital Inequalities

description: This dissertation investigates how very recent, recent, and established immigrants who use e-government service platforms in Canada experience and circumvent digital inequalities. Employing a Capabilities Approach perspective, this study focuses specifically on the challenges encountered by very recent, recent, and established Nepali immigrants to Canada in using federal-, provincial-, and municipal-level e-government service platforms. To meet this objective, an explanatory sequential design mixed-methods approach involving a survey with 261 respondents and five focus group meetings with 25 Nepali immigrants to Canada was used to gather the requisite data. In contrast with dominant narratives in much digital divide literature, the findings revealed no statistically significant differences in the use of e-government service platforms by very recent, recent, and established Nepali immigrants other than very recent immigrants were found to be using the federal-level e-government service platform more frequently than their recent and established immigrant counterparts. The lack of observable differences between the two groups was found to be linked to the participants' reliance on their social support networks of family and friends who provide the material and immaterial resources needed to mitigate the effects of digital inequalities. The implications of these unexpected findings are important for understanding the evolving on-the-ground dynamics with which immigrants must contend and, specifically, how their lived experiences contrast with stereotypical perceptions and understandings of their encounters with digital inequalities. The findings also contribute to advancing the knowledge both in terms of theory and practice. At the level of theory, the findings suggest the presence of two conversion factors — social support networks, and perceptions of convenience — that up to now have not received much attention in the Capabilities Approach literature. At the level of practice, the findings suggest a need to reconsider the ways in which the ubiquity of ICT devices and the pervasiveness of Internet connections along with changing immigration criteria are contributing to a transformation in how very recent, recent, and established immigrants experience digital inequalities.
Generalized messenger sector for gauge mediation of supersymmetry breaking and the soft spectrum

description: We consider a generic renormalizable and gauge invariant messenger sector and derive the sparticle mass spectrum using the formalism introduced for General Gauge Mediation. Our results recover many expressions found in the literature in various limits. Constraining the messenger sector with a global symmetry under which the spurion field is charged, we analyze Extraordinary Gauge Mediation beyond the small SUSY breaking limit. Finally, we include D-term contributions and compute their corrections to the soft masses. This leads to a perturbative framework allowing to explore models capable of fully covering the parameter space of General Gauge Mediation to the Supersymmetric Standard Model.
description: Minor changes to clarify notation. Requirement of global symmetry is relaxed in the derivation of scalar masses in the small SUSY breaking limit
