description: Etablering af en ny supercykelsti, Vestbaneruten, langs jernbanetraceet mellem København og Roskilde har den samfundsøkonomisk bedste gevinst i forhold til etablering af supercykelsti på to eksisterende parallelle cykelruter. Det skyldes at antallet af cyklistuheld reduceres betydeligt i forhold til de to øvrige projekter. Dette skyldes at andelen af cyklister som overflyttes fra Roskildevej til Vestbaneruten udgør en betydelig andel (40-50 %), hvilket alt andet lige må medføre færre trafikuheld mellem cyklister og bilister langs Roskildevej. Ud over de samfundsøkonomiske gevinster er der desuden en tidsmæssig gevinst for Vestbaneruten, idet der ikke er signalanlæg langs Vestbaneruten. En supplerende beregning af ”forsinkelsestiden” baseret på gængse enhedsværdier for kørselsforsinkelse (1/3 af enhedsprisen for bil) viser, at der yderligere er en samfundsøkonomisk gevinst på ca. 3-5 mio. kr. for Vestbaneruten.

3-D sensing of object orientation using back propagation neural network
Creators: name: Bin Abdullah, Muhammad Dimyati
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis is about the application of Neural Networks in the sensing of an object position relative to a reference point. An object is rotated a certain angle in space and a Neural Network was then used to estimate its orientation. Previous methods had always been to transform 3-dimensional data into 2-dimensional data before presenting it to the network. In this thesis 3-dimensional data is used as the input to the Neural Network. Training data was obtained via two methods, the first one was through a Pascal program and the other through a commercial CAD software. The input to the Backpropagation Network are coordinates of the object vertices and the target output are the rotation parameters for each particular position.

description: We investigate the collapse of a trapped dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate. This is performed by numerical simulations of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation and the novel application of the Thomas-Fermi hydrodynamic equations to collapse. We observe regimes of both global collapse, where the system evolves to a highly elongated or flattened state depending on the sign of the dipolar interaction, and local collapse, which arises due to dynamically unstable phonon modes and leads to a periodic arrangement of density shells, disks or stripes. In the adiabatic regime, where ground states are followed, collapse can occur globally or locally, while in the non-adiabatic regime, where collapse is initiated suddenly, local collapse commonly occurs. We analyse the dependence on the dipolar interactions and trap geometry, the length and time scales for collapse, and relate our findings to recent experiments.

The Literary significance and critical reputation of William Bell Scott's autobiographical notes
Creators: name: Crerar, Patricia Jeanne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: As a background figure in the Pre-Raphaelite movement, William Bell Scott suffers from an unattractive reputation largely because of attitudes expressed in his Autobiographical Notes. Chapter One of this thesis examines his life and work, but although a chronological approach is used, it is Scott's wide range of activities and friends which is given prominence. In Chapter Two, Scott's Autobiographical Notes is considered. Scott's lifelong interest in journal writing is traced as much as is possible, using manuscript material in the Penkill Papers at the University of British Columbia. The chapter then covers the actual editing of the Notes by William Minto, making the point that even before his book was published Scott's potential readers were prejudging the work. Manuscripts in the Penkill Collection provide the Material for these disclosures. The three parts of the third Chapter are concerned with the shaping of Scott's reputation through prejudice and hearsay. The "Rossetti Legend," as it existed while Scott was writing his Notes and until the time of their publication, occupies the first part of the chapter. Next, the controversy which developed after his book met public view is examined. Finally, Scott's reputation is traced over the eighty years since the publication of his autobiography. The final chapter opens with a survey of Scott's relationship with Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Most of the attacks made on Scott's Notes were prompted by his treatment of Rossetti. The survey suggests that Scott was both as friendly and as useful to Rossetti as he claims to have been. The second and longer part of the chapter deals with charges made against Scott by William Michael Rossetti in the Memoir volume of his Family Letters. Information in the Penkill Papers proves on one hand that Scott did not fabricate anecdotes, and that he kept back much information which would have been of interest. On the other hand, this material makes it obvious that William Michael Rossetti, the authority of whose book rests on his filial relationship, did not tell the entire truth about his brother. Scott's Autobiographical Notes, then, should be seriously re-examined as a reference work on Rossetti and the Pre-Raphaelites.

description: Beskrivende analyser har peget på faldende cykelandel igennem de sidste 20 år og tiltagende geografiske forskelle. Paperet søger verifikation af disse forhold ved at inddrage og kontrollere for et større sæt af faktorer, der kan have betydning for cyklingen. Resultaterne bekræfter at der er en alt-andet-lige negativ tendens i cyklingen over tid. Der er også sammenhænge mellem cykling og køn og alder, indkomst, bystørrelse, regional placering, ugedag, boligform, boligejerskab, beskæftigelse, ugedag, og vejret. Analyserne er med til at give et nyt billede af hvad der sker med cyklingen over tid – herunder de ændrede geografier for cykling hvor befolkningen i de de store byer i stigende grad cykler, mens cyklingen i kant og oplandsområderne er vigende. Data og analyser kan også give et afsæt for at vurdere betydningen af større kampagner eller nationale programmer som f.eks. cykelpuljen.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. Fishing at sustainable levels is changing from single species based management towards mixed fisheries within an ecosystem approach. Mixed fisheries are usually characterized by complex interactions between fleets, fish species and the environment. These fisheries have a relevant contribution for the Portuguese fishing activity's revenue. However, as many other mixed fisheries, they present a combination of high uncertainty (e.g. several species without assessment), complex science (combining biological and technical interactions) and political choices (e.g. trade-offs between catch options). In this work we used regression trees to identify different fisheries based on catch composition and gears, as reported in logbooks. The relation between species vulnerability and their functional role at the ecosystem scale is explored by fishery. Hence, technical interactions among fishing gears, and species biological interactions are analyzed within and among fisheries. This approach allows us to identify key elements that can, ultimately, be incorporated on management plans for mixed fisheries.

Poetry as possibility
Creators: name: Macfarlane, Walter Julian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis explores the concept of possibility in terms of an aesthetic theory applicable to poetry. The concept is widely used in different ways by different writers, but seldom dealt with analytically as is the intention here. Chapter I deals first with the empirical concomitants of the concept and their relation to notions of convention and stylistic transgression in poetry. The argument then proceeds to examine the philosophical ramifications of these relations in terms of Whitehead's views on aesthetic integrations. In substantiating these views ontologically, a theory of poetry as a form of contemplative thought emerges. Chapter II defines the ontological grounds of poetic possibility in a more rigorous manner utilizing distinctions basic to both the philosophy of Martin Heidegger and the theories of the so-called "structuralist" school. The relationship of poetry to "nature" and "culture" is of parmount importance in these speculations, and is defined in such a way as to reconcile processal and structural definitions of the poetic experience. The chapter resolves by relating the ontological ground of poetic possibility to notions of metaphor and ambiguity developed in the writings of Wallace Stevens and others. Chapter III explores the notion of poetic ambiguity further in terms of a theory of imagination which draws upon the theories of Stevens, Coleridge, and Heidegger. The linguistic consequences of this theory of imagination are discussed in terms of a practical demonstration, an explication of William Carlos Williams' “Nantucket". In this way, the argument establishes the metalinguistic grounds for defining and analyzing poetry. The chapter concludes, relating the metalinguistic grounds of poetry, as defined, to the notion of poetic possibility previously developed.
Registrering af skolebørns transportadfærd til og fra skole

description: Undersøgelser viser, at skolebørn generelt er i dårligere form end tidligere og at to ud af tre unge i alderen 11-15 år ikke lever op til Sundhedsstyrelsens anbefaling om fysisk aktivitet. Aktiv transport til og fra skole kan give et væsentlig bidrag til børn og unges daglige fysiske aktivitetsniveau. På nuværende tidspunkt eksisterer der ingen reelle data, som beskriver status over skolebørns transportadfærd. Den eksisterende Transportvaneundersøgelse dækker kun børn ned til 10 år. Kræftens Bekæmpelse har på Odense Kommunes opfordring udviklet en målemetode til at monitorere skolebørns transportadfærd til og fra skole. Formålet med undersøgelsen er at afdække, hvordan skolebørn transporterer sig til og fra skole i de enkelte kommuner. På sigt er ambitionen, at undersøgelsen skal gennemføres i alle landets kommuner. Således bliver det muligt at sammenligne skolebørns transportadfærd på tværs af kommunegrænser, men også at skabe et nationalt overblik. Resultaterne fra undersøgelsen er til gavn for både politikere, trafikplanlæggere og forskere. I foråret 2014 var transportadfærdsundersøgelsen klar og efter test, blev første undersøgelse gennemført i Odense Kommune i april 2014. I april 2015 blev undersøgelsen gennemført i Odense, Århus og Rudersdal Kommune. Resultaterne fra undersøgelsen viser blandt andet den samlede fordeling på kommunalt niveau for brugen af hhv. aktiv og passiv transport, brugen af aktiv transport fordelt på de enkelte klassetrin og brugen af aktiv transport fordelt på køn. Derudover kan resultaterne fra de enkelte skoler sammenlignes på tværs i kommunen.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. Biodiversity offsets are increasingly advocated as a flexible approach to sheeting home the ecological costs of economic development. Arguably, however, this remains an area where policy making has run ahead of science. A growing number of studies identify limitations of offsets in achieving ecologically sustainable outcomes, pointing to ethical and implementation issues that may undermine their effectiveness. Here, we explore several conceptual issues relating to the effectiveness of alternative biodiversity offsetting approaches, using a marine system as an example. We develop a novel system dynamic modeling framework which integrates key components of the broader socioecological system within which offsets operate, and use this model to unpack some of the key drivers identified in the empirical literature as determining the potential success or failure of offsets.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. Externalities or external costs, i.e. non-market effects in the utilization of ecosystem services (ES), are trailed for plaice as a target species for fisheries in the southern North Sea, for benthic habitats affected by the fisheries and for a non-target by-catch species, thornback ray, in relation to catches obtained from the plaice fisheries as ES. Alternatively to monetary valuation of ecosystem services, relative ecological risk assessment (RERA) is applied to quantify externalities in a historical period 1924 to 1938 and for 1985-2010 with the German EEZ as reference area. Two reference levels are adopted for each component, i.e. the target reference level representing conditions equivalent to maximum sustainable yield (MSY), and the limit reference level indicating a high risk of extinction. During the entire period, ecosystem state was below the target reference level for all ecosystem components representing a state of chronic negative change except for plaice in the years 2008-2010, when fisheries was approaching MSY levels. Thornback ray became locally extinct. The relationship between utilization of ES and its environmental costs, i.e. externalities, is not invariant. Spatial management is proposed as one means to alleviate externalities while still exploiting ES.
title: Can EM Support Compliance With Landings Obligations?

Subjects: Fisheries and aquaculture

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. The utility of electronic monitoring (EM) to support compliance with landings obligations is examined by drawing from the experiences of a seven year program using EM to enforce full catch retention compliance in the US shore-based Pacific whiting fishery. This high volume spring/summer mid-water trawl fishery operates off the coasts of Washington, Oregon and northern California, with about 35 vessels making day trips and delivering to landing plants. Total removals are estimated from landed catch and no discards are permitted, a regulatory setting similar to the EU landings obligations. While the results were previously reported in the individual annual fishery reports, this paper compiles the results of the seven-year operational EM program in order to examine changes in the fishery and monitoring program over time, to show how program effectiveness was a result of both the technology and program operations, and to summarize the lessons learned, with the aim of evaluating the merits of the program and providing insights that would assist in other fisheries where EM is being considered.
Reliability and validity of physical activity measurements in Vietnam
Creators: name: Au, BT
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Mortality from non-communicable diseases (NCD) has increased in Vietnam in recent decades. Relatively little is known about the prevalence of risk factors for NCD in Vietnam, particularly for rural populations living outside the two major cities of Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City. The measurement of physical inactivity, an established risk factor for disease in Western populations, has not been attempted. The principal aim of this thesis was to test the reliability and validity of several methods of measuring physical activity in the Vietnamese population. A secondary aim was to investigate the prevalence of physical inactivity and other NCD risk factors in a population-based sample of rural Vietnam. A population survey (n=1978) was conducted in 2005 in Can Tho in the Mekong Delta of southern Vietnam, using the STEPS methodology developed by the World Health Organisation. Measurements of physical activity were made using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ). GPAQ is a modified version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). A sub-sample (n=251) of participants had multiple measurements of physical activity using GPAQ, IPAQ, pedometers, and physical activity records (PAR). The key findings were: 1. The prevalence of NCD risk factors in the dominantly rural sample were very different from those previously reported for big city samples from Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City. 2. Work activity constituted 80% of total moderate and vigorous activity, and 33% of men and 40% of women were classified as inactive. 3. The modifications of IPAQ in the design of GPAQ have improved the physical activity estimates for those with stable work patterns, but, overall, both questionnaires had modest reliability and validity in estimating physical activity. 4. It was feasible to obtain a superior estimate of physical activity using at least three days of pedometer wear. 5. The use of pedometers was culturally acceptable to the local population. The involvement of health volunteers was critical, but they require constant supervision. 6. Tobacco smoking, a potential confounder of the association between physical activity and NCD risk indicators, was associated with hypertension in a doseresponse fashion. 7. Physical activity measured by GPAQ was associated with total cholesterol and, for men, with body composition and blood glucose. Work activity was the main contributor to these associations. For Vietnam, the GPAQ modifications of IPAQ have been only partly successful. Objective measurement by pedometers is feasible and culturally acceptable, and should be encouraged.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. Although the ecological and biological aim of the landing obligation is well appointed in the new Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), it can bump against practical implementation. We study the case of the Bay of Biscay, a highly productive system with fleets targeting multiple species (>25) with relatively high levels of discards (due to regulatory and economic reasons). The landing obligation implemented in the new CFP adds a new category, the so-called choke species, to the three types of catches clearly distinguished by these fleets: the target, the “by-catch” and the non-desired catches. For our analysis, we confront the article 15 of the CFP and the operational part of the fleets, as well as assess if the operational parts requirements of these fleets are covered by the regulation; that is, if we have choke species or if choking comes from the regulation. We study the economic consequences of the implementation of the new landing obligation focusing on its practical implementation rather on attaining the objectives of it. We distinguish between private and social cost/benefits inferring that even socially landing obligation can be beneficial, private costs are creating incentives to go against it.
What makes an artist? : formative influences in the early lives of 34 Tasmanian visual artists
Creators: name: Broomhall, Edward M.J
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The purpose of the study was to investigate the childhood experiences of contemporary, recognised visual artists in order to document and identify formative influences which nurtured their interest in visual art through childhood into mature professional development. A total of thirty four artists were interviewed in the study. All subjects were residents of Tasmania. There were seventeen males and seventeen females. They were drawn from six media areas: painting, print making, ceramics, textiles, sculpture and book illustrating. Naturalistic research was deemed to be an appropriate methodology for this study. The qualitative process of inductive analysis was used to generate information about significant influences on the development of young artists. The instrument for the study was an interview schedule. Three areas were identified as being the basis of the interview schedule: art experiences at home, art experiences at school and art experiences at different phases through childhood. Six major areas related to artistic development were identified: inherent ability, familial influences, access to imagery, technical knowledge, socialisation and school influences. Findings of this study revealed that individuals who display a keen interest in art making from an early age, whether male or female, are aware of the urge to make images with available materials and begin to do so with a firm singlemindedness in early childhood. They seek to acquire technical skills and seek adult role models. Contact with art work and art resources seem to make an impact and was important. The data revealed that the home environment was a significant source of support for subjects interviewed. Considering education policy and the promotion of gifted and talented programs for students, the case of artistically talented children may not align readily with current policy for other areas of talent and giftedness. Results of the study indicate that the source of identification of artistic talent came not from the school but from parents and other family members. Further, home environmental influences were responsible for nurturing the inherent talent exhibited by the subjects interviewed for this study. In some cases teachers provided support and encouragement but generally the school was not the major source of influence. Identification as an artist does not seem to rely on an outside institution such as a school: rather, the identification is from the home environment and a 'significant other.' In conclusion, the need of artistically talented children, to work in isolation, has significance for school art programs. It would seem more important for children, who are identified as artistically talented, to be placed in out-of-school programs rather than make allowance for those children in a regular school program.

description: When the images of earth cling too tightly to memory, when the call of happiness becomes too insistent, it happens that melancholy rises in a mans heart. -- Albert Camus. I refer to these 'images of earth' as being our objects of desire, not solidified as real objects, but rather as voids of lament and yearning where real objects might exist. Basic emotions are object driven. Fear, terror and rage are active emotions and demand a particular type of behaviour towards an object. In an effort to reduce such tension we may adopt either active or passive means of dealing with a problem, which is in essence, basically deferral or avoidance. We may adopt a child-like demand for the intrusion of some magical act which will hopefully remove the undesirable burden and take away the pain, which would essentially be a passive means of sublimation. Or we could practice basic Freudian deferral and make a pre-meditated decision not to confront the issue. To wilfully defer confrontation is an active and conscious means of refusal. Consciousness tells us we have no need for the object, we act accordingly and this becomes a manipulation of our need to make the object less important, therefore less desirable. We may seek refuge in a variety of distractions adopted consciously or unconsciously, the decision made by our An abuse of the use of alcohol, drugs, and excessive licencious erotic behaviour are such examples. If we are unable or incapable of dealing with some turmoil, then our response is mechanistic. It becomes too difficult to confront and our capabilities are reduced rendering it impossible to act in any other way. This mechanistic method is a 'slipping-away' into a condition which autmatically denies any possibilty of having to use measures of control. A sufferer of a severe depression, hysteria, or a melancholic are subject to this state of inadequacy, or more particularly, are a result of it. There is a general unwillingness to free the libido from its attachment to the object. To do so would be to acknowledge the investment of energy and libido as being in need of alteration or substitution. Therefore what may arise as a result, is a sublimation of the need to resolve the psychological state by allowing the libido to be absorbed into melancholy. Thus any need for substitution or confrontation is deferred. In other words; we know we should sensibly act on the loss of the object, but we resist, because to free the libido from that object would be to have to make certain admissions that would question the ego's performance. It is during this period of mental adjustment to the loss of the object of desire that memories attached to that object are hypercathected. (This is where the opening quote by Camus is particularly relevant.)
The translation of high-level computer languages to other high-level languages
Creators: name: Freak, RA
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis is an investigation into the extent to which the language, FORTRAN, can be converted automatically to Pascal. Much has been written and said about the advantages of a \structured\" language but there seems to be some reluctance for the computing community as a whole to adopt a structured language. A large amount of investigative work has been carried out by other workers into the possibility of extending FORTRAN to include some of the concepts of structured programming and other people have begun projects to convert FORTRAN to other structured languages but this is the first known attempt to convert FORTRAN to Pascal. The process adopted is not simply one of literally replacing FORTRAN by Pascal. Rather an attempt is made to introduce the structured concepts of Pascal to the FORTRAN program. This involves replacing FORTRAN loops by the Pascal statements repeat ... until or while ... do using the powerful Pascal if statement and laying out the COMMON and EQUIVALENCE statements so that the structure is apparent. A clear consistent layout procedure is adopted and the program structure in the Pascal listing produced is highlighted. FORTRAN subprograms are nested within the procedure which calls them or declared global to the set of procedures which call them - an approach which eliminates the global subprogram declarations of FORTRAN."

description: In this work we investigate the supersymmetric version of the valence bond solid (SVBS) state. In one dimension, the SVBS states continuously interpolate between the valence bond states for integer and half-integer spin chains, and they generally describe superconducting valence bond liquid states. Spin and superconducting correlation functions can be computed exactly for these states, and their correlation lengths are equal at the supersymmetric point. In higher dimensions, the wave function for the SVBS states can describe resonating valence bond states (RVB). The SVBS states for the spin models are shown to be precisely analogous to the bosonic Pfaffian states of the quantum Hall effect. We also give microscopic Hamiltonians for which the SVBS state is the exact ground state.

description: This article explores the experiences of takatāpui/LGBTQ+/queer people within Aotearoa/New Zealand’s courts, as defendants, victims and lawyers. Within this qualitative study, participants share stories filled with various challenges, including fears about engaging with the justice system, how gender and sexuality can affect a court case, and what support is available to takatāpui/LGBTQ+/queer people accessing justice. Underpinned by a queer criminological perspective, this article interrogates the latent, structural nature of cisheteronormativity as a form of harm, with particular consideration of its implications for access to justice in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Collectively, the findings of this study underscore the challenges faced by takatāpui/LGBTQ+/queer people when navigating the criminal justice system, particularly within the District Court of New Zealand.
The geographical and biometeorological corralates of childhood asthma morbidity in Tasmania
Creators: name: Giles, Graham Gerald

description: Environmental aspects of asthma and wheezy breathing have been investigated in three Tasmanian populations; wheezers from the 1968 survey of the 1961 birth cohort, admissions to public hospitals 1972-1977 for asthma and asthmatics from the 1971 birth cohort. Significant spatial clustering was detected in those members of the 1961 cohort defined as suffering from reversible airways obstructions. Geographic concentrations of persons showing respiratory symptoms defined 'good' and 'bad' areas. Such areas differed, indeed were mutually exclusive, for the two sexes. These areas were used as the basis for sampling asthmatics from the 1971 cohort for the purposes of prospective study. Significant clustering was not confined to spatial distributions; hospital admissions over a six year period demonstrated marked temporal variation. The seasonal distribution of attacks differed for males and females and peaks in admissions of either sex were shown to be related to strong weather changes. A prospective study of wheezy breathing in samples of children from the 1971 birth cohort allowed a closer examination of the interaction between reversible airways obstruction and meteorological variables. Study area selection was guided by the spatial analyses of the wheezers from the 1961 cohort. In each area the children kept daily diaries of their wheeziness for nineteen months. The aggregated morbidity series for each area were then examined in relation to daily weather parameters and other atmospheric measurements. Relationships between weather and wheezing were seen to differ between individual times or parts of the series. Major fluctuations in wheeziness were due to the occurrence of certain weather situations. Regression models for each area and sex were constructed to predict wheeziness under various synoptic conditions. With the inclusion of only commonly available weather variables as predictors the level of explanation achieved for certain weather patterns was very high, up to ninety-six per cent. High levels were maintained during tests on new data. During certain weather types, however, wheeziness was low and was poorly predicted by meteorological factors. Risks to asthmatics differed depending upon sex and were localised both in the domains of space and of time. Maps delineated areas of increased risk and regression equations Indicated times of increased risk. Armed with this knowledge, a primary preventive approach could be advocated for the populations at risk.

description: Ray-tracing exercise and full-wave analysis were performed to validate the performance of a new type of cloak composed of isotropic metamaterials. It is shown that objects inside the folded region of this cloak appear invisible to the incoming light from a ray tracing exercise, but exhibit magnified and shifted scattering under a plane wave illumination from a full wave analysis. Gaussian beams are introduced to resolve this interesting paradox resulted from these two methods. We show that at the time-harmonic state, small energy can be diffracted into the folded region and contribute to the resonant state even when the Gaussian beam is steered away from the cloak with an object inside. A scattering pattern identical to that scattered from the image of the object will be formed, which agrees well with the phenomenon in the plane wave incidence case.

description: In a context of rising global fascism, Aotearoa/New Zealand has seen an emboldened farright, led by the anti-queer Destiny Church. Writing as a collective of queer and trans scholars and activists, this article explores two case studies of anti-fascist organising, in response to Destiny Church’s attacks on queer communities and symbols in 2024 and 2025. It proposes a theory of anti-fascism based on mass politics. It analyses a barrier to this mass politics: safetyism. Safetyism refers to a politics that prioritises the immediate safety of protesters over the struggle for liberation and against fascism. The first case study, an attempted National Day of Action in 2024, was ultimately undone by safetyist logics. The article draws the key lessons from these experiences, including how time, structure and attempts at consensus can facilitate safetyist arguments. In the second case study, the article analyses how a different approach was taken to organise ‘Defying Destiny’. This approach attempted to pre-empt safetyism by relying on strong pre-existing relationships and organisational forms. Ultimately, the article contends that we need to combat safetyism, to build the anti-fascist movement to meet our current moment.

description: We consider DNA codes based on the nearest-neighbor (stem) similarity model which adequately reflects the "hybridization potential" of two DNA sequences. Our aim is to present a survey of bounds on the rate of DNA codes with respect to a thermodynamically motivated similarity measure called an additive stem similarity. These results yield a method to analyze and compare known samples of the nearest neighbor "thermodynamic weights" associated to stacked pairs that occurred in DNA secondary structures.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. The reform of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) has introduced a landings obligation to end the practice of discarding at sea. The ecological and economic effects of these landings obligations are unknown for many mixed fisheries. It seems likely, though, that fishing fleets will adaptively respond to the new policy, trying to sustain viable fisheries under the new policy constraints. Here, we present a methodology to project the effects of the landings obligation on the sustainability and profitability of mixed fisheries under quota management using a management strategy evaluation (MSE). The adaptive response of the fleets to different implementation scenarios will be mimicked using a dynamic state variable model. The scenarios we evaluate include: (i) a complete discards ban, and (ii) a combination of de minimis and inter-species flexibility in quota use. These scenarios will be compared with the results of maintaining a policy permitting all discards. The final comparison across alternative discard management regimes will look at both the ecological and economic indicators. The Basque trawl mixed fishery on the Bay of Biscay is used as case study.

description: The young sigma Orionis cluster in the Orion Belt is an incomparable site for studying the formation and evolution of high-mass, solar-like, and low-mass stars, brown dwarfs, and substellar objects below the deuterium burning mass limit. The first version of the Mayrit catalogue was a thorough data compilation of cluster members and candidates, which is regularly used by many authors of different disciplines. I show two new applications of the catalogue and advance preliminar results on very wide binarity and the initial mass function from 18 to 0.035 Msol in sigma Orionis. The making-up of a new version of the Mayrit catalogue with additional useful data is in progress.

A physicochemical and microbial study of two meromictic lakes in south-west Tasmania, with observations on Australian Chrysophytes
Creators: name: Croome, RL
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Lake Fidler and Sulphide Pool are small, dystrophic, meromictic lakes adjacent to the Gordon River in South-west Tasmania. Partitioning between upper and lower waters is very distinct in both lakes, and a stratification of microorganisms is situated about a particularly abrupt redoxcline at around three metres depth in Lake Fidler and two metres depth in Sulphide Pool. A special close-interval sampler was developed specifically to sample the fine zonation of these organisms. The microbial stratification in Lake Fidler comprises small flagellate algae, colourless sulphur bacteria, and green photosynthetic bacteria. In Sulphide Pool a similar stratification occurs but lacks colourless sulphur bacteria. Extremely large standing crops of photosynthetic bacteria are present in the two lakes, and the algae of the stratified communities are also present in large numbers, particularly in Sulphide Pool. The organisms of the microbial arrays which photosynthesise do so at very low levels of red light. The physicochemical limnology of the lakes, structure of the microbial stratifications, and the taxonomy, ecology and physiology of the organisms within them, are described.. Many of the organisms present in the surface waters of the two lakes are Chrysophytes. This group of algae has not been studied previously in Australia, and the large number of Chrysophytes discovered in Lake Fidler and Sulphide Pool prompted an Australia-wide survey of these organisms. Three new Chrysophytes are described, and many more are reported for the first time in the southern hemisphere.
