description: Using high-resolution simulations within the Cold and Warm Dark Matter models we study the evolution of small scale structure in the Local Volume, a sphere of 8 Mpc radius around the Local Group. We compare the observed spectrum of mini-voids in the Local Volume with the spectrum of mini-voids determined from the simulations. We show that the \LWDM model can easily explain both the observed spectrum of mini-voids and the presence of low-mass galaxies observed in the Local Volume, provided that all haloes with circular velocities greater than 20 km/s host galaxies. On the contrary within the LCDM model the distribution of the simulated mini-voids reflects the observed one if haloes with maximal circular velocities larger than 35 km/s host galaxies. This assumption is in contradiction with observations of galaxies with circular velocities as low as 20 km/s in our Local Universe. A potential problem of the LWDM model could be the late formation of the haloes in which the gas can be efficiently photo-evaporated. Thus star formation is suppressed and low-mass haloes might not host any galaxy at all.

A Model-Predictive Switching Approach To Efficient Intention Recognition
Creators: name: Krauthausen, Peter
name: Hanebeck, Uwe D.
Publisher: name: Karlsruhe
Year: 2010

description: Estimating a user's intention is central to close human-robot cooperation. In this paper, the problem of per- forming intention recognition with tree-structured Dynamic Bayesian Networks for large environments with many features is addressed. The proposed approach reduces the computational complexity of inference O(b^s) for tree-structured measurement models with an average branching factor b and tree height s to O((b)s), where b~ << b. The key idea is to switch between a finite set of reduced system and measurement models in order to restrict inference to the most important features. A model predictive approach to online switching between the reduced models is proposed that exploits an upper bound of the distances of the reduced models to the full model. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is validated in the intention recognition for a humanoid robot using a telepresent household scenario.
Place Matters: Finding Deep Ecology within Towns and Cities
Creators: name: Booth, Kate
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023
Subjects: Phenomenology

description: Deep ecology is a branch of ecophilosophy with a focus on wilderness philosophy and that appears to hold little relevance within an urbanising world. Yet deep ecology’s holistic account claims that everything is interconnected – not just those entities definable as wild or natural – but everything, including all those things that deep ecology has remained wary of and aloof from – machines, exotic species, department stores, concrete and tar. This dissertation is an exploration of deep ecological metaphysics, specifically that of transpersonal ecology, within towns and cities. It considers how engagement within towns and cities may influence or change the metaphysical premise of deep ecology, and looks at how revisiting the holism therein may alter how we understand world and self, particularly with reference to towns and cities. The particularities of the place within which this research is grounded are described. The suburb of Risdon Vale and the author’s sense of place are introduced in terms of locality and locale, and with reference to two streams within place discourse – memory and place, and geographer Doreen Massey’s ‘global sense of the local, a global sense of place’. Three phenomenological encounters are narrated and discussed. The first encounter, entitled ‘gum-tree-man’, initiates a discussion of Norwegian philosopher Arne Naess’s gestalt ontology. The second, ‘touch me, this tree’, takes a fresh look at the concepts of wildness and wilderness from the perspective of gestalt ontology, and the third, ‘capillary shawl’, moves to consider self and the notion of consciousness as emergent from encounter between the author and her washing machine. A notion of place emerges that forms the basis for the development of a concept termed ‘the locality of place’. The locality of place and symbiosis are offered as alternatives to transpersonal ecology and Self-realisation. Accusations that deep ecology harbours fascist tendencies are addressed in light of the emerging ideas. Deep ecology emerges as a poignant ontological perspective holding relevance and significance for considerations of self, place and world. Finally, a re-conception of towns and cities, including of our selves, technologies and exotic species is explored. The notions of relational familiarity and unfamiliarity are offered as means of understanding current trends in relational enmeshment, and the increasingly problematic nature of these trends is discussed. An embodied turn towards familiarising ourselves within our own relational enmeshments is offered as a means of increasing our understanding of ourselves, world and where we are at within towns and cities.

description: The thermal magnonic spectra of Co$_{2}$Cr$_{0.6}$Fe$_{0.4}$Al (CCFA) and Co$_2$FeAl were investigated using Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy (BLS). For CCFA, the exchange constant A (exchange stiffness D) is found to be 0.48 $μ$erg/cm (203 meV A$^2$), while for Co$_2$FeAl the corresponding values of 1.55 $μ$erg/cm (370 meV A$^2$) were found. The observed asymmetry in the BLS spectra between the Stokes and anti-Stokes frequencies was assigned to an interplay between the asymmetrical profiles of hybridized Damon-Esbach and perpendicular standing spin-wave modes, combined with the optical sensitivity of the BLS signal to the upper side of the CCFA or Co$_2$FeAl film.
Uniqueness of static spherically symmetric vacuum solutions in the IR limit of Hořava-Lifshitz gravity

description: We investigate static spherically symmetric vacuum solutions in the IR limit of projectable nonrelativistic quantum gravity, including the renormalisable quantum gravity recently proposed by Hořava. It is found that the projectability condition plays an important role. Without the cosmological constant, the spacetime is uniquely given by the Schwarzschild solution. With the cosmological constant, the spacetime is uniquely given by the Kottler (Schwarzschild-(anti) de Sitter) solution for the entirely vacuum spacetime. However, in addition to the Kottler solution, the static spherical and hyperbolic universes are uniquely admissible for the locally empty region, for the positive and negative cosmological constants, respectively, if its nonvanishing contribution to the global Hamiltonian constraint can be compensated by that from the nonempty or nonstatic region. This implies that static spherically symmetric entirely vacuum solutions would not admit the freedom to reproduce the observed flat rotation curves of galaxies. On the other hand, the result for locally empty regions implies that the IR limit of nonrelativistic quantum gravity theories does not simply recover general relativity but includes it.

description: We present a variant of warped D-brane inflation by incorporating multiple sets of holomorphically-embedded D7-branes involved in moduli stabilization with extent into a warped throat. The resultant D3-brane motion depends on the D7-brane configuration and the relative position of the D3-brane in these backgrounds. The non-perturbative moduli stabilization superpotential takes the racetrack form, but the additional D3-brane open string moduli dependence provides more flexibilities in model building. For concreteness, we consider D3-brane motion in the warped deformed conifold with the presence of multiple D7-branes, and derive the scalar potential valid for the entire throat. By explicit tuning of the microphysical parameters, we obtain inflationary trajectories near an inflection point for various D7-brane configurations. Moreover, the open racetrack potential admits approximate Minkowski vacua before uplifting. We demonstrate with a concrete D-brane inflation model where the Hubble scale during inflation can exceed the gravitino mass. Finally, the multiple sets of D7-branes present in this open racetrack setup also provides a mechanism to stabilize the D3-brane to metastable vacua in the intermediate region of the warped throat.

Indicators of support and stress : an examination of Easton's systems theory
Creators: name: McVicar, Kenneth Edward
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This study investigates David Easton's concept of political support in a three-fold analysis. The purpose of this exploratory research is to construct links between political support and empirical behavior. Drawing on a wide range of literature, the author presents inventories of indicators in order to emphasize the areas of political behavior from which empirical content for political support might be drawn. The first portion of this analysis deals with political support in the context of Easton's systems approach. Examining possible dependent variables, the author suggests that system persistence and system change are of questionable utility. The investigator chooses stress as the dependent variable, and redefines it in terms of the objects of support: the authorities, the regime, and the political community. The second part of the study examines political support as the summary independent variable. Support is divided into two sub-categories--covert and overt support--which are held to be different, independently-varying sets of behavior. Three analytical dimensions--size, concentration, and intensity--are assigned to both covert and overt support. The author suggests that, while these assigned properties are crude, they have utility in empirically defining support. The third part of this research presents inventories of indicators for covert and overt support, following the framework provided by the three analytical properties. Since no data are presented, the author suggests that conclusions cannot be drawn regarding the strength of the relationship between the indicators and the support dimensions. The researcher also offers some suggestions regarding the linkages between covert and overt support. Concluding the analysis, the author investigates simple, illustrative relationships between covert support, overt support, and stress. He warns that some spurious relationships may exist, given the crude nature of the present framework. The author finds that the present scheme seems logically useful, but that estimates of its true value must await data collection and analysis. He concludes that the study represents a partial analysis of Easton's total systems model, and that more research is necessary to operationalize this model in its entirety.

description: A cell dynamics method for domain separation of diblock copolymers (DBCPs) interacting with nanoparticles (NPs) whose diffusion coefficients depend on chain configuration is proposed for self-assembly of DBCP/NP composites. Increasing NP concentration slows down domain separation, but matching NP diffusion lengths and lamellar size of DBCPs reduces this effect. The model also explains features of different nanocomposites, such as morphological transitions induced by NPs, the coexistence of lamellar and hexagonal patterns in a single sample and peaked NP density profiles across the parallel domains.

description: Kaluza-Klein (KK) black hole solutions in the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) gravity in $D$ dimensions obtained in the current series of the works by Maeda, Dadhich and Molina are examined. Interpreting their solutions, the authors claim that the mass/matter is created by the extra dimensions. To support this claim, one needs to show that such objects have classically defined masses. We calculate the mass and mass flux for 3D KK black holes in 6D EGB gravity whose properties are sufficiently physically interesting. Superpotentials for arbitrary types of perturbations on arbitrary curved backgrounds, recently obtained by the author, are used, and acceptable mass and mass flux are obtained. A possibility of considering the KK created matter as dark matter in the Universe is discussed.

The Practices of Local Governance: A Tasmanian Case Study
Creators: name: Armstrong, Denbeigh
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023
Subjects: Regional analysis and development

description: In this thesis I examine how local government and community actors are managing change in local governing processes. I describe how governing is practised and document the effects of such practices for the rural township of Geeveston in the Huon Valley Council, Tasmania, Australia. The aim of the research is to apprehend the materiality of governing at the local level under neoliberal governmental regimes in order to comprehend what happens and what is at stake when people govern and are governed in particular ways. This project is underpinned by an interest in everyday practices and the particular experiences of individuals in communities of place and interest and grounded in a case study of township revitalisation. The implementation of neoliberal governmental technologies has changed profoundly governing practices at all levels of government. The term governance is being used as a general reference for these changing conditions of governing. Of concern here are the effects of those changes on local government that occurred in Tasmania, Australia during the 1990s. This period of local government modernisation emphasised managerial and structural changes designed to increase local government efficiency and effectiveness and were accompanied by legislative requirements to enhance citizen participation in local government processes. Determining how to integrate these twin goals has generated significant challenges for local government and community actors as they negotiate what it means to govern and be governed in the new governance environment. The design for the research is based on a case study approach and draws on qualitative research methods. It assumes great value in working from the particularities of people’s experiences; a position central to the practice of cultural geography. The theoretical framework draws on concepts of government developed in literature on governmentality; a perspective that highlights the regimes of practices of government used in attempts to shape rationally human conduct for particular ends. In its detailed examination of the practices of government, this project addresses a gap identified in the literature calling for more empirical research to explicate theorizations of governmental practices. This research builds knowledge about local governance with attention to its constitution through the discursive and material practices of identity, community, representation, citizenship and politics in place. The work links the empirical findings of this research with concepts of the representative claim, agonistic pluralism and governing through community to problematise, respectively, meanings and practices of representation, the role of conflict in democracy and practices of community empowerment.

BaFe2As2 properties demonstrate the equivalence of C(T), Fisher's d(XT)/dT, and dp/dT results in determining the antiferromagnetic transition at TN = 132(1) K. BaNi2As2 shows a structural phase transition from a high-temperature tetragonal phase to a low-temperature triclinic (P-1) phase at T0 = 131 K.The superconducting critical temperature for BaNi2As2 is well below T0 and at Tc = 0.69 K. BaFeNiAs2 does not show any sign of superconductivity to 0.4 K and exhibits properties similar to BaCo2As2, a renormalized paramagnetic metal.

description: We introduce a toy model that describes (in a single equation) the mass in stars as a function of halo mass and redshift. Our model includes the suppression of gas accretion from gravitational shock heating and AGN jets mainly for M_halo > M_shock ~ 10^12 M_Sun and from a too hot IGM onto haloes with v_circ < 40 km/s, as well as stellar feedback that drives gas out of haloes mainly with v_circ < 120 km/s. We run our model on the merger trees of the haloes and subhaloes of a high-resolution dark matter cosmological simulation. The galaxy mass is taken as the maximum between the mass given by the model and the sum of the masses of its progenitors (reduced by tidal stripping). Designed to reproduce the present-day stellar mass function of galaxies, our model matches fairly well the evolution of the cosmic stellar density. It leads to the same z=0 relation between central galaxy stellar and halo mass as the one found by abundance matching and also as that previously measured at high mass on SDSS centrals. Our model also predicts a bimodal distribution (centrals and satellites) of stellar masses for given halo mass, in good agreement with SDSS observations. The relative importance of mergers depends much more on stellar than halo mass. Galaxies with m_stars > 10^11 M_Sun/h acquire most of their mass through mergers (mostly major and gas-poor), as expected from our model's shutdown of gas accretion at high M_halo. However, mergers are rare for m_stars < 10^11 M_Sun/h (greater than our mass resolution), a consequence of the curvature of the stellar vs. halo mass relation. So gas accretion must be the dominant growth mechanism for intermediate and low mass galaxies, e.g. dwarf ellipticals in clusters, except that gas-rich galaxy mergers account for the bulk of the growth of ellipticals with m_stars ~ 10^10.5 M_Sun/h, which we predict must be the typical mass of ULIRGs.

description: Transparent dispersions of hydrophobic SrF2 : Eu3+ nanoparticles in cyclohexane with up to 20% europium were obtained by fluorolytic sol‐gel synthesis followed by phase transfer into cyclohexane through capping with sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS). The particles were characterized by TEM, XRD and DLS as spherical objects with a diameter between 6 and 11 nm in dry state. 1H‐13CP MAS NMR experiments revealed the binding of the anionic sulfonate head group to the particle surface. The particles show bright red luminescence upon excitation of the aromatic capping agents, acting as antennas for an energy transfer from the benzenesulfonate unit to the Eu3+ centers in the particles. This synthesis method overcomes the current obstacle of the fluorolytic sol‐gel synthesis that transparent dispersions can be obtained directly only in hydrophilic solvents. To demonstrate the potential of such hydrophobized alkaline‐earth fluoride particles, transparent luminescent organic‐inorganic composites with 10% SrF2 : Eu3+ embedded into polyTEGDMA, polyBMA, polyBDDMA and polyD3MA, respectively, were prepared, endowing the polymers with the luminescence features of the nanoparticles.

description: We critically compared Marcusenius specimens from the mouth of the Cunene River on the Namibia/Angola border, a harsh desert environment on the Atlantic Ocean coast virtually devoid of aerial insects with aquatic larvae which are an important food item, with Marcusenius multisquamatus Kramer & Wink, 2013 from the escarpment region of that same river, in a relatively rich and productive subtropical savannah environment. River mouth specimens were differentiated in morphology and electric organ discharges, as determined by ANOVA/MANOVA comparisons, principal component and discriminant analyses on morphological and electrophysiological characters, and genetics, including sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene, indicating reproductive isolation. Specimens from the river mouth differed from M. multisquamatus, their closest relatives, by having a shorter snout, a smaller eye diameter, and smaller nares separation. River mouth specimens were also differentiated from other, increasingly less-close relatives, such as M. altisambesi Kramer et al., 2007 from the Okavango River, Botswana, and from M. krameri Maake et al., 2014 from the Limpopo System, South Africa. We therefore designate the new species Marcusenius desertus sp. nov. for the Cunene River mouth population.

Once we move past the ethnocentric idea that chords made of stacked thirds are the normal vertical arrangements of notes, and that those notes must fit within either a diatonic or chromatic collection of pitches it can become easier to see and appreciate the diversity of fascinating musical structures found in cultures, past and present.

Some motoric parameters of functional misarticulation
Creators: name: Cox, Brian John Alfred
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The description of functional or developmental misarticulation in terms of phoneme-specific speech-motor behaviour has been unsatisfactory because of much inconsistency. Some of the inconsistency has been eliminated by postulating phoneme position-in-a-word as pertinent to articulation difficulty. However research tends to point to patterns of basic speech-motor behaviour larger than phoneme-specific units. Two such supra-phoneme motoric parameters are hypothesized and tested in the responses of a group of 65 normal kindergarten children, using test items selected from the Templin-Darley Diagnostic Test of Articulation. These test items were dichotomized as hypothetically easy or difficult in terms of the two proposed parameters, namely range of anterior-posterior tongue movement and number of lingual constrictions of the buccal cavity, required in the response to each test item. Also, in each instance of misarticulation, the substituted response was analysed for changes with respect to the hypothesized parameters. Responses were electronically tape recorded and phonetically analysed under controlled conditions. Results indicated some evidence for range of anterior-posterior tongue movement as an independent parameter of speech-motor behaviour of kindergarten children. However this was not the case for number-of-lingual-constrictions of the buccal cavity.

description: Randomness is a fundamental feature in nature and a valuable resource for applications ranging from cryptography and gambling to numerical simulation of physical and biological systems. Random numbers, however, are difficult to characterize mathematically, and their generation must rely on an unpredictable physical process. Inaccuracies in the theoretical modelling of such processes or failures of the devices, possibly due to adversarial attacks, limit the reliability of random number generators in ways that are difficult to control and detect. Here, inspired by earlier work on nonlocality based and device independent quantum information processing, we show that the nonlocal correlations of entangled quantum particles can be used to certify the presence of genuine randomness. It is thereby possible to design of a new type of cryptographically secure random number generator which does not require any assumption on the internal working of the devices. This strong form of randomness generation is impossible classically and possible in quantum systems only if certified by a Bell inequality violation. We carry out a proof-of-concept demonstration of this proposal in a system of two entangled atoms separated by approximately 1 meter. The observed Bell inequality violation, featuring near-perfect detection efficiency, guarantees that 42 new random numbers are generated with 99% confidence. Our results lay the groundwork for future device-independent quantum information experiments and for addressing fundamental issues raised by the intrinsic randomness of quantum theory.

description: Based on previous work of the authors, this paper provides a comparison of two different tracking methodologies for extended objects and group targets, where the true shape of the extent is approximated by an ellipsoid. Although both methods exploit usual sensor data, i.e., position measurements of varying scattering centers, the distinctions are a consequence of the different modeling of the extent as a symmetric positive definite random matrix on the one hand and an elliptic random hypersurface model on the other. Besides analyzing the fundamental assumptions and a comparison of the properties of these tracking methods, simulation results are presented based on a static tracking environment to highlight especially the differences in the update step for the extension estimate.

description: The design and development of a complex system requires an adequate methodology and efficient instrumental support in order to early detect and correct anomalies in the functional and non-functional properties of the tested protocols. Among the various tools used to provide experimental support for such developments, network emulation relies on real-time production of impairments on real traffic according to a communication model, either realistically or not. This paper aims at simply presenting to newcomers in network emulation (students, engineers, ...) basic principles and practices illustrated with a few commonly used tools. The motivation behind is to fill a gap in terms of introductory and pragmatic papers in this domain. The study particularly considers centralized approaches, allowing cheap and easy implementation in the context of research labs or industrial developments. In addition, an architectural model for emulation systems is proposed, defining three complementary levels, namely hardware, impairment and model levels. With the help of this architectural framework, various existing tools are situated and described. Various approaches for modeling the emulation actions are studied, such as impairment-based scenarios and virtual architectures, real-time discrete simulation and trace-based systems. Those modeling approaches are described and compared in terms of services and we study their ability to respond to various designer needs to assess when emulation is needed.

description: We investigate the dynamic quantum tunneling between two attractors of a mesoscopic driven Duffing oscillator. We find that, in addition to inducing remarkable quantum shift of the bifurcation point, the mesoscopic nature also results in a perfect linear scaling behavior for the tunneling rate with the driving distance to the shifted bifurcation point.

description: We investigate dynamical transport properties of interacting electrons moving in a vibrating nanoelectromechanical wire in a magnetic field. We have built an exactly solvable model in which electric current and mechanical oscillation are treated fully quantum mechanically on an equal footing. Quantum mechanically fluctuating Aharonov-Bohm phases obtained by the electrons cause nontrivial contribution to mechanical vibration and electrical conduction of the wire. We demonstrate our theory by calculating the admittance of the wire which are influenced by the multiple interplay between the mechanical and the electrical energy scales, magnetic field strength, and the electron-electron interaction.

title: And I Have Touched the Sky and accompanying essays
Creators: name: Becherer, Laura Rae

description: Fairy tale retellings have become a popular literary genre in recent years. While many of these texts are lyrical in nature and grounded in the broader genre of fantasy literature, fairy tale theorists such as Jack Zipes postulate that fairy tales are less fantasy stories and more a vehicle to explore everyday danger and trauma. Fairy tales can be less comforting bedtime stories and more cautionary tales for children and adults alike. To this end, my dissertation explores power of storytelling to shape identity, as well as the stories we tell ourselves and tell others about ourselves. The short novel is a tale of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder following sexual assault and an abusive relationship, but more than that, it is a story about family, love, nature, and healing. Hints of magical realism come into play via the dogs that never age. Furthermore, the two accompanying essays that follow the novel explore themes of women, patriarchy, and nature via the lens of nature writing and other magical realist texts. The essays are also grounded in my own personal experiences and narratives as a woman and a child, to reflect on the autobiographical undertones of my creative process and experience in writing, and re-writing, this novel.
And the Rest: The Stellar Archeological Record of M82 Outside the Central Starburst

description: Deep images obtained with MegaCam and WIRCam on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope are used to probe the stellar content outside of the central star-forming regions of M82. Stars evolving on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) are traced along the major axis out to projected distances of 12 kpc, which corresponds to 13 disk scale lengths. The specific frequency (SF) of bright AGB stars in the outer disks of M82 and the Sc galaxy NGC 2403 are identical, suggesting that the specific star formation rates (SFR) in these galaxies during intermediate epochs were similar. This similarity in stellar content, coupled with the presence of an extended stellar disk, is consistent with M82 having been a late-type disk galaxy prior to interacting with M81. Still, there is a paucity of red supergiants (RSGs) in the outer disk of M82 when compared with NGC 2403, indicating that the SFR in the outer regions of M82 during the past ~ 0.1 Gyr has declined dramatically with respect to that in isolated late-type galaxies. A mixture of bright main sequence stars, RSGs, and AGB stars are detected out to minor axis distances of 7 kpc along the outflow. It is suggested that the young and intermediate aged stars in the extraplanar regions formed in structures similar to M82 South, and that these were subsequently disrupted by the tidal action of M82.

description: We study the properties of ThCr$_2$Si$_2$ structure BaMn$_2$As$_2$ and BaMn$_2$Sb$_2$ using density functional calculations of the electronic and magnetic as well experimental measurements on single crystal samples of BaMn$_2$As$_2$. These materials are local moment magnets with moderate band gap antiferromagnetic semiconducting ground states. The electronic structures show substantial Mn - pnictogen hybridization, which stabilizes an intermediate spin configuration for the nominally $d^5$ Mn. The results are discussed in the context of possible thermoelectric applications and the relationship with the corresponding iron / cobalt / nickel compounds Ba(Fe,Co,Ni)$_2$As$_2$.
