description: The Agribusiness Excellence Model is a performance measurement tool used in the self-assessment of emerging agribusiness to improve business excellence and performance. The South African government, through land reform and support structures such as the Comprehensive Agricultural Support Programme (CASP) seeks to create sustainable and successful agribusiness. The SAEM model exists to bridge the gap between settlement on farms and the creation of competitive business in the ever changing global business environment. The model requires involvement of the stakeholders as part of the implementation process to implement the formulated action plans. The purpose of the paper is to measure, through a case study, the value of the model as performance measurement and a sustainable development tool in assisting the successful establishment of new farmers. It also ascertains how stakeholders become involved and their importance in ensuring that a farm becomes an agribusiness. The implementation of the Excellence Model may assist with implementation of agribusiness and stakeholder analysis because objectives are clearly defined and stakeholders understand their roles and responsibilities when implementing the Excellence Model.

description: We go beyond the Standard Model guided by presymmetry, the discrete electroweak quark-lepton symmetry hidden by topological effects which explain quark fractional charges as in condensed matter physics. We show that partners of the particles of the Standard Model and the discrete symmetry associated with this partnership appear as manifestations of a residual presymmetry in the sense of Ekstein and its extension from matter to forces. This duplication of the spectrum of the Standard Model keeps spin and comes nondegenerated about the TeV scale.

description: The Standard Model is one of the most successful theories at describing the strong, weak, and electromagnetic forces and the interactions between the elementary particles.The scalar boson discovered in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) might be consistent with the Higgs boson predicted by the Standard Model, thus validating the Higgs mechanism and therefore representing a further confirmation of this theoretical framework. However, the experimental data still leave plenty of room to determine whether or not an extension of the scalar sector is allowed.The LHC combination of the SM Higgs boson measurements at 7 and 8 TeV allows Higgs boson decays to BSM states with a rate of up to 34% at 95% confidence level.Presence of new physics within the context of the Two-Higgs-Double-Model and NMSSM theories allows the exotic decay of the Higgs boson into a pair of light pseudoscalars. CMS collaboration has searched for this exotic decay of the Higgs boson in the dataset collected at 13 TeV in different final states. In this contribution, the search in the mumubb final state is reviewed and the results are summarized.
Kinetics of the formation of substituted diamides of carbonic acid

description: A serious drawback which hindered the elucidation of many reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry, was the lack of accurate quantitative data. The classical investigation by Lapworth or the halogenation of ketones initiated a new kinetic era in organic chemistry promoting the search for more exact knowledge of reaction mechanisms and the energy considerations involved. The reaction between urea and formaldehyde first occupied the attention or chemists some sixty years ago with the studies of Holzer, Ludy, Hemmelmayr, Goldschmidt, Einhorn, Hamburger and others. The greater portion of the work published since then related to the preparative aspects of the reaction and it was not until 1928 that the first serious attempt to suggest a reaction mechanism was made.

description: We present a simple feedback description of parametric instabilities which can be applied to a variety of optical systems. Parametric instabilities are of particular interest to the field of gravitational-wave interferometry where high mechanical quality factors and a large amount of stored optical power have the potential for instability. In our use of Advanced LIGO as an example application, we find that parametric instabilities, if left unaddressed, present a potential threat to the stability of high-power operation.

description: We study a model for leptogenesis in which the total CP asymmetries in the decays and scatterings involving the SU(2) singlet seesaw neutrinos $N_α$ vanish ($ε_{N_α}=0$). Leptogenesis is possible due to non-vanishing CP violating lepton flavor asymmetries, realizing a situation in which the baryon asymmetry is due exclusively to flavor effects. We study the production of a net lepton asymmetry by solving the Boltzmann equations specific to this model, and we show that successful leptogenesis can be obtained at a scale as low as the TeV. We also discuss constraints on the model parameter space arising from current experimental upper limits on lepton flavor violating decays.

description: We study the evolution of supernova remnants in a low-metallicity medium $Z/Z_{\odot} = 10^{-4}$ -- $10^{-2}$ in the early universe, using one-dimensional hydrodynamics with non-equilibrium chemistry. Once a post-shock layer is able to cool radiatively, a dense shell forms behind the shock. If this shell becomes gravitationally unstable and fragments into pieces, next-generation stars are expected to form from these fragments. To explore the possibility of this triggered star formation, we apply a linear perturbation analysis of an expanding shell to our results and constrain the parameter range of ambient density, explosion energy, and metallicity where fragmentation of the shell occurs. For the explosion energy of $10^{51}{\rm ergs} (10^{52}{\rm ergs})$, the shell fragmentation occurs for ambient densities higher than $\gtrsim 10^{2} {\rm cm^{-3}}$ (10 ${\rm cm^{-3}}$, respectively). This condition depends little on the metallicity in the ranges we examined. We find that the mode of star formation triggered occurs only in massive ($\gtrsim 10^{8}M_{\odot}$) haloes.

In this paper we survey a range of applications of Segre classes to the definition and study of invariants of singular spaces. We will focus on several numerical invariants, on different notions of characteristic classes for singular varieties, and on classes of Le cycles. We precede the main discussion with a review of relevant background notions in algebraic geometry and intersection theory.

description: A workshop was held in Amatikulu in 2009 to identify problems contributing to the â€œdownward spiralâ€ scenario faced by the KwaZulu-Natal Small-Scale Sugarcane growing sector of South Africa. Not only have the number of Small-Scale Growers (SSGs) declined but their average area under sugarcane and average yield per hectare have also dropped. One of the issues agreed upon at the workshop is the need to improve co-operation between the SSGs and their Contractors with particular focus on overall institutional change. Promoting an â€œUpward Spiralâ€ scenario for both SSGâ€™s and Contractors includes dealing largely with institutional reform in which bargaining power imbalances are corrected. High transactional costs faced by SSGâ€™s necessitate good institutional reform where organizing parties, in an effort to reduce transaction costs and allow a fair negotiation platform, is discussed. For institutional reform to be successfully adopted, support structures are required to continually educate on the importance of various factors including economies of scale to Contractors, or the effect contractor inefficiencies (high burn-harvest-to-crush delays) have on SSG revenue, of which many are largely unaware. Institutions should be correctly structured so that within a free market system SSG sectors are able to survive given their importance in rural income contributions.

description: The stochastic dynamics of colloidal particles with surface activity--in the form of catalytic reaction or particle release--and self-phoretic effects is studied analytically. Three different time scales corresponding to inertial effects, solute redistribution, and rotational diffusion are identified and shown to lead to a plethora of different regimes involving inertial, propulsive, anomalous, and diffusive behaviors. For symmetric active colloids, a regime is found where the mean-squared displacement has a super-diffusive $t^{3/2}$ behavior. At the longest time scales, an effective diffusion coefficient is found which has a non-monotonic dependence on the size of the colloid.

Commercial fishing patterns in Australia's northern prawn fishery and implications for management
Creators: name: Ngwenya, E
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis is focussed on the variation in fishing patterns realised by commercial fishers in Australia's Northern Prawn Fishery (NPF). An analytical framework is developed for use as a tool to help fishery managers understand commercial fishers' decision making and the subsequent fleet dynamics in commercial fisheries and their implications for fishery management. The thesis provides a framework based on Markovian theory that permits a description of the spatial and temporal allocation of fishing effort, and allows for the simulation of fleet movement in response to fishery management policy changes. The relocation of fishing effort between fishing grounds, over time, defines the spatial and temporal dynamics of fleet movement. Data on fishing locations of individual vessels are used to obtain a spatial and temporal series of transition probabilities, which are then used for describing and forecasting commercial fishing behaviour. These transition probabilities represent the likelihood of effort allocation to selected fishing grounds, over any two consecutive time periods. The ordinary Markov model relies solely on the historical transitions for the entire fleet across particular fishing grounds during a selected fishing period. However, since the transitions made by fishers are the outcome of economic behaviour and decision making in fishing, the variation in transition probabilities and the fishing patterns realised by commercial fishers are explained in the thesis using the multinomial logit (MNL) approach. To capture fishers' response to fishery policy, the ordinary Markov model is enhanced using estimates from the MNL model. This enriched Markov model, referred to as the MNL Markov, requires data on policy variables and characteristics of fishers and fishing grounds. Although not primarily policyoriented, the effects of shortening the fishing season and closing selected fishing grounds are illustrated by inspecting the marginal effects of policy variables from the MNL Markov and evaluating the limiting distribution of transition probabilities in the ordinary Markov model. The results obtained in the thesis suggest that there is scope for fishery managers to use such models to forecast changes in commercial fishing patterns in the NPF that result from management changes such as shortening the fishing season and closing selected fishing grounds.

description: We consider the relationship between the higher symmetry and the dynamical decomposition in supersymmetric gauge theory in various dimensions by studying the semi-classical potential energy. We observe that besides the scalar moduli we shall also include the field strength $F_{0\cdots d}$ in the vacuum moduli in the 1+d dimensional theory along with a $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$ $d$-form symmetry. In gauge theory for charge-$p$ matters with this symmetry, we find that the vacua decompose into $p$ different universes at an intermediate scale, which means no dynamical domain wall can interpolate between them. In our setup, we re-derive the existing results on the decomposition in various dimensions. In four dimensions, we propose a UV gauge theory for the generalized super Yang-Mills theory, whose instanton sectors are restricted to the topological number with integer multiples of $p$.

6300‚àövñ (OI) airglow at higher midlatitudes during solar maximum
Creators: name: Nichol, DG
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis describes work carried out at Hobart (42.9¬¨‚àûS, 147.3¬¨‚àûE) during the 1968 - 1970 solar/auroral maximum on the airglow emissions of atomic oxygen particularly the red 6300‚àövñ line. (This 'line' is actually a doublet : see chapter two). Both the red and the green 5577‚àövñ lines originate from forbidden transitions of OI; these are the (3P - ¬¨œÄD) and the (¬¨œÄD - ¬¨œÄS) transitions respectively. Until recently the green line was much more studied than the 6300‚àövñ line, partly because it is usually stronger in the normal night airglow and also because photo-electron detectors are more sensitive in its spectral range. It is really only during the last fifteen years or so that adequately red sensitive detectors have become available to study the weak night airglow. Thus although these OI lines have been known to exist in auroras for over a century (Angstrom 1868, Zollner 1870) the recent solar maximum is only the second available for detailed study of the weak red night emissions. The previous maximum of 1957 - 1959 proved very fruitful for airglow/auroral studies so it was hoped that the recent maximum would be the same. However this maximum was considerably weaker and few opportunities were available to study such novel aurbral features as the 'mantel aurora' (Sandford 1964) or the Stable Auroral Red Arc (SAR-arc) (Barbier 1959), Cole 1965a) both originally detected during Lilo previous maximum. Furthermore the normal night airglow appeared to be less intense by a factor of five during the 1968 -1970 maximum than during the previous one. This is rather puzzling and would not be expected in terms of the solar flux or ionospheric content differences. Possible explanations are examined in various chapters of this thesis.

description: Profit margins have declined substantially over the past 10 years. In order to combat the deterioration of profit margins, farmers have to adopt new technologies to improve the productivity of the direct productive assets (land & livestock) on the farm. Mega Merinos managed to double most of the more important factors contributing to increased productivity. These factors include (1) the development of the productivity of the workforce by means of delegation, (2) improved pasture management and changing to more productive grazing systems, (3) flock feed conversion â€“ increase kilogram meat produced per kilogram fodder used, (4) increased wool production per SSU as well as the lowering of the microns of the wool, (5) change from commodities to branded wool and meat and (6) increased reproduction (lambing and weaning percentages as well as changing from a 12 month production system to an eight month production system). The successful farmer will therefore have to focus on increased productivity to obtain sustainable success.

However, not all technologies are taken up by farmers and some technologies are partially used by farmers. This paper reviews a number of new technologies and information that have been released to farmers and discusses some of the reasons why farmers rapidly take up some new practices but slowly pick up on other technologies. Factors such as return on investment, risk, simplicity of the system and farmers perceptions are discussed in relation to fertiliser, pest management, decision support models, plant growth regulators and precision agriculture.

Subjects: subject: Livestock Production/Industries

description: Denmark is known for a large pig production industry and a high level of efficiency. Besides strong breeding and well-educated pig farmers, the high level of efficiency is attributed to a strong connection between the research/development industry and the primary industry. Know-how is communicated from, for instance, Pig Research Centre (PRC) to the pig advisors in Danish Agricultural Advisory Service (DAAS) and on to the pig producers. Danish farmers are able to access know-how directly from PRC as well as through the local pig advisory centres. However, despite our well-functioning, transparent system, the results achieved by the individual pig producers still vary greatly. This shows that there is still potential for improving the communication of know-how and thereby ensuring implementation on the pig farms. Six years ago, PRC and DAAS Pigs established â€œDevelopment Co-Operationâ€, which is economically binding co-operation on development of tools, Best Practice, for a number of areas within the production of pigs. This development takes place in a joint process with DAAS Pigs paying half of the costs and PRC the other half. The tools are developed by project groups consisting of local pig advisors and scientific staff from PRC. A tool â€“ a set of guidelines â€“ typically consists of checklists, fact sheets, recording forms, work plans, spread sheets, etc. With the Development Co-Operation, advisors will obtain ownership of the tools and use them when advising pig farmers. As pig advisors are involved in both development and implementation, know-how is communicated with practical implementation in mind and is adapted to the target group.

description: We report measurements of absolute transition frequencies and hyperfine coupling constants for the 8S_{1/2}, 9S_{1/2}, 7D_{3/2}, and 7D_{5/2} states in ^{133}Cs vapor. The stepwise excitation through either the 6P_{1/2} or 6P_{3/2} intermediate state is performed directly with broadband laser light from a stabilized femtosecond laser optical-frequency comb. The laser beam is split, counter-propagated and focused into a room-temperature Cs vapor cell. The repetition rate of the frequency comb is scanned and we detect the fluorescence on the 7P_{1/2,3/2} -> 6S_{1/2} branches of the decay of the excited states. The excitations to the different states are isolated by the introduction of narrow-bandwidth interference filters in the laser beam paths. Using a nonlinear least-squares method we find measurements of transition frequencies and hyperfine coupling constants that are in agreement with other recent measurements for the 8S state and provide improvement by two orders of magnitude over previously published results for the 9S and 7D states.

description: The trap distribution in the conjugated polymer poly(3-hexylthiophene) was investigated by fractional thermally stimulated current measurements. Two defect states with activation energies of about 50 meV and 105 meV and Gaussian energy distributions were revealed. The first is assigned to the tail of the intrinsic density of states, whereas the concentration of second trap is directly related to oxygen exposure. The impact of the oxygen induced traps on the charge transport was examined by performing photo-induced charge carrier extraction by linearly increasing voltage measurements, that exhibited a strong decrease in the mobility with air exposure time.

Continuity and change in the reign of Valentinian I
Creators: name: Novy, FA
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The aim of the thesis is to evaluate the contribution made by Valentinian I (364 - 375) to the government of the western empire during the fourth century, and to consider whether the policies pursed in specific areas of imperial administration can be considered as innovative or as consolidation within the broader context of the fourth century. Attention is given to the success that Valentinian's reforms enjoyed in the context of the last years of the fourth century. Imperial policies are grouped for examination into specific areas designed to provide an analysis of all facets of the reign. The study begins with an examination of the literary sources, their chronology and the literary tradition about Valentinian. Particular attention is given to Ammianus Marcellinus, whose account of the elevation of Valentinian provides the basis for examination of the nature of imperial accessions, with particular reference to the successors to fallen dynasties, such as that of Constantine. The civil administration is treated as a whole, incorporating matters relating to the functions of the bureaucracy, an examination of the social origins, career structures and religious affiliations of those who served in the imperial service, facilitated by the compilation of a prosopographical data base of all known Valentinianic personnel. Special emphasis is also given to financial policy and the administration of the city of Rome. The ramifications of such policies are examined in the context of specific events such as the trials conducted at Rome for magic and treason and the cohesion of administrative policy is analysed through detailed scrutiny of the legislation promulgated by the emperor. The military and religious policies of Valentinian receive separate treatment. The religious policy is analysed primarily as a study of the exceptional nature of religious toleration in the fourth century. What may appear as indifference in religious policy provides an effective contrast to the military campaigns, the facts of _which and the strategic initiatives in the defense of the empire place Valentinian high in the military history of the late empire. From a consideration of the above, it is concluded that Valentinian consolidated many of the existing trends current in the fourth century on a scale that can be considered innovative.
The stability of the polyhalides

description: Molecular halogens or inter halogens compounds have, for many years, been known to be capable of associating with halide ions either in the solid state or in solution to form stable univalent species. The classic example of this is the enhanced solubility of iodine in an aqueous potassium iodide solution to form the triiodide anion. This was crystallised by Johnson in 1877 and was the first inorganic triiodide identified. The earliest reference to a triiodide was however the strychnine triiodide of Pelletier and Caventore in 1819. Filhol made the first reference to an inorganic polyhalide in 1839. This was the mixed polyhalide KIC1\\(_4\\). Lowig and Roozeboom also investigated polyhalides during the nineteenth century. It is interesting that whilst Roozeboom was one of the leaders in the use of ternary phase rule investigation, his work on ammonium tribromide was not pursued in this manner. At the close of the nineteenth century Wells, Penfield and Wheeler began pioneering investigations into the polyhalide field. Much of the work was of a qualitative nature, dealing with the preparation of a particular compound or studying specific physical properties. This work was followed up by Abegg and Hamburger, Foote and Chalker, Parsons and Whittemore and Kremann and Schoulz over the period 1908 - 1912. They were mainly interested in the controversy over the formula of the potassium polyiodide. Most of the preparative methods at this stage involved crystallisation from an aqueous solution. It was not realized that solvation could occur and although analysis often suggested this, conflicting reports were given based on an anhydrous polyhalide. It was not until 1931 when Grace recognized the possibility of solvation that many of these earlier discrepancies were resolved. In the period 1910 - 1930 interest in the polyhalides lapsed to some extent apart from a review of structural considerations by Clark in 1923, the results of which however were inconclusive. The early 1930's saw a revival of interest in both the homogeneous and mixed polyhalides. In England, Grace, Cheesman, Duncan, Harris and coworkers and in America Briggs and coworkers began studying the former type of polyhalide by using phase rule techniques, in particular three component systems, which characterized solvates. At this time Cremer and Duncan reviewed the polyhalide work up to this stage and re examined the preparative methods, properties and reactions of this type of compound. Their main interest was in the mixed polyhalide of the type MIBr\\(_2\\), but they did deal with CsBr\\(_3\\) and CsI\\(_3\\).

Micraglossa Warren, 1891.
Type species: Micraglossa scoparialis Warren, 1891.
= Microglossa Hampson, 1907: 20
DIAGNOSIS
Descriptions of Micraglossa are provided in Nuss (1999) and Li et al. (2010). Micraglossa exhibits a typical scopariine pattern with the X-shaped postmedian and subterminal lines but can be separated from other related genera by the shiny golden-colored forewing markings. The absence of appendix bursae in female genitalia separates it from Eudonia and Scoparia (Léger et al., 2019). Male genitalia exhibit the following characters: uncus elongate, relatively narrow; gnathos usually slightly longer than uncus, with small apical tooth pointing downwards; valva with spine projection on innerside in some species, distal half of valva usually bent upwards; vesica with or without cornuti. Female genitalia exhibit the following characters: posterior and anterior apophyses shorter than in Eudonia; colliculum long, tubular, lightly sclerotized; ductus bursae long, membranous, sometimes with loops; corpus bursae globular, membranous, without appendix bursae, with ovate or streak-like signum (W. Li et al., 2010).
DISTRIBUTION
Oriental and Australasian regions. The distribution stretches from temperate China and Japan southwards to Australia (Nuss et al., 2003 –2023). Three species are found in the Philippines: Micraglossa tagalica Nuss, 1998, M. polisensis sp. n., M. kianganensis sp. n.
PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS
Micraglossa is sister to the clade formed by Eudonia and Scoparia (Léger et al., 2019).

Small retailing businesses in Glenorchy : some operational problems
Creators: name: Ongha'i, Samandar
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The ultimate aim of this dissertation is an examination of some problems of small retailing businesses in the City of Glenorchy, part of the Hobart metropolitan area in Southern Tasmania. The study is not entirely comprehensive, nor possible to survey all small business problems in the region, because of shortage of time, size of Glenorchy municipality, diversity and number of small retailing businesses. It is tried instead to seek answers to two fundamental questions: (a) What are the most commonly encountered problems facing small business managers in the City of Glenorchy? (b) Are there appropriate advisory or counselling services provided by Government (Federal, State or Local)to assist private enterprise to become more viable in aiding overall regional social and economic development? This dissertation is divided into four chapters as follows: Chapter 1 of the thesis outlines the role and importance of small business in the Tasmanian economy. Chapter 2 identifies some operational problems of small business, as presented in literature about the field, then considers what advisory services (if any) are provided by government. Chapter 3 outlines some impressions gained by interview of small businessmen, financiers and others within Glenorchy, as to principal operational difficulties of small business. Chapter 4 briefly summarises some conclusions arising from this exploratory survey. Various appendices are included, providing details of the interviews and survey. Some attempts were made to obtain detailed statistics about the demography, employment patterns and number of small businesses in Glenorchy, but this did not prove particularly fruitful, in part because accurate records were unobtainable, but also because the methodology of investigation deliberately sought the impressions of entrepreneurs themselves. This is certainly a limitation of the study, nonetheless little literature exists about small business in Tasmania, so even an exploratory survey may prove beneficial.
NPR - Global And Local Market Analysis And Economic Outlook Seminars For Producers Utilizing The Internet As An Interactive Delivery System; An Innovative, Collaborative Approach To Deliver Risk Management Education For Agriculture Producers In The 21st C

description: The Rural Prosperity Risk Management Initiative was designed to deliver timely and relevant risk management information. Participants included producers, Extension educators, and agricultural community influencers consisting of lenders, input dealers, and agricultural commodity processors. The program was designed and delivered so producers could make sound risk management decisions; Extension educators and Ag. Influencers could help clients make good business decisions; and extremely limited Extension program delivery resources could be highly leveraged. Changing commodity fundamentals, large speculative influences, and higher input costs have producers, Extension educators and agricultural community influencers scrambling for ways to increase agricultural prosperity and sustainability. The project utilized D. Merrill Ewertâ€™s matrix of approaches to Extension work as a catalyst for change. The underlying theory is that Extension programs are most successful when they combine process (in this case Polycom technology and the Internet) and content (risk management education) instead of strictly one or the other. Beginning in 2006, this project utilized the Internet and other interactive communication tools to bring risk management education to over 275,000 participants consisting mostly of producers. Remote and on-site presentations were made in real time by agricultural economists and experts from many U.S. states and foreign countries. All remote presentations were live and completely interactive. Extension specialists from U.S. land grant universities, U.S. and foreign government agencies, and industry made presentations. Remote presentations originated from areas across the United States, South America and France. In addition to reaching more than 275,000 participants of which most were producers, the project saved over $281,000.00 in direct meeting costs, and increased net-farm profits by $5,166,099.31 as of December 2009. Evaluations via survey, focus groups, and personal contact show that the majority of participants are very accepting of this type of extension program delivery method and even preferred this type of Extension outreach experience over traditional methods.

description: Chemical bonds formed by hydrazine-sulfide treatment of GaAs(111) were studied by synchrotron photoemission spectroscopy. At the B surface, the top arsenic atoms are replaced by nitrogen atoms, while GaAs(111)A is covered by sulfur, also bonded to underlying gallium, despite the sulfide molar concentration being 103 times smaller than that of the hydrazine. This extreme dependence on surface polarity is explained by competitive adsorption processes of HS- and OH- anions and of hydrazine molecules, on Ga- adsorption sites, which have distinct configurations on the A and B surfaces.

description: The effects of the Polyakov loop and of a regularization procedure that allows the presence of high momentum quark states at finite temperature is investigated within the Polyakov-loop extended Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. The characteristic temperatures, as well as the behavior of observables that signal deconfinement and restoration of chiral and axial symmetries, are analyzed, paying special attention to the behavior of strangeness degrees of freedom. We observe that the cumulative effects of the Polyakov loop and of the regularization procedure contribute to a better description of the thermodynamics, as compared with lattice estimations. We find a faster partial restoration of chiral symmetry and the restoration of the axial symmetry appears as a natural consequence of the full recovering of the chiral symmetry that was dynamically broken. These results show the relevance of the effects of the interplay among the Polyakov loop dynamics, the high momentum quark sates and the restoration of the chiral and axial symmetries at finite temperature.
