Strategies for sustainable morphological remediation of the Tamar river estuary and other similarly degraded estuaries
Creators: name: Kidd, IM
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: When anthropogenically induced morphological change within estuaries becomes irreversible, hysteresis is established and mitigating projects are required to undo any degradation. The morphologically degraded Tamar River estuary in Tasmania Australia typifies the universality of problems and solutions pertaining to estuaries in Australia, North America, Europe and the UK. Historically, restoration projects proposed for the Tamar were analogues of projects elsewhere, for which full repercussions are emerging. Barrages and weirs for example, unintentionally altered the hydrodynamics with negative long-term morphological consequences. Within the Tamar, recently mooted projects supposedly reduced the flood dominance of tides. Since the 1880s, silt management was by dredging (now cost prohibitive); replaced in recent years by silt raking. Neither process addresses the root-cause of the degradation. The aim of this thesis was to develop and model sustainable solutions (proven and novel) for hysteretic degraded estuaries such as the Tamar, whilst identifying projects having potentially unacceptable trade-offs. The multifaceted methodology reviewed datasets pertaining to tidal heights, bathymetry and land elevations for the Tamar; examined asymmetrical tides, net sediment flux and establishment of equilibrium; developed a First Order Morphological Response Model (FORM) to review and evaluate proposed projects; used FORM on four international examples, and evaluated the effectiveness of barrages as mitigators of sea-level rise. Tidal asymmetry results showed that flood velocity bias persisted and maximised at equilibrium, the inference being their removal is counterproductive. A feedback loop developed at equilibrium (driven by M4 and M6 harmonics); deposition on the banks led to slumping into the constantly scoured channel resulting in a net zero sediment flux. FORM modelled the new equilibrium of five putative barrages within the Tamar. Equilibrium established from a persistent flood velocity bias, ultimately resulting in a net loss of physical amenity below the barrage and unsatisfactory ecological trade-offs both upstream and downstream. Another study of four international barraged systems showed morphological degradation with some mitigation of sea-level rise in each head-pond but potential to increase tidal ranges downstream, thereby exacerbating sea-level rise. Neither study justified the installation of a barrage in the Tamar. Projects designed to remove or mitigate reduced estuarine and freshwater flow would be beneficial in restoring some amenity to the Tamar with potentially up to 8 million m3 of silt permanently removed. Those projects synergistic with nature proved prospective, whereas those antagonistic to nature would fail. Results inform a more sustainable management of estuaries in general with emphasis on a proactive, rather than a reactive paradigm.

description: We calculate the spectral function of a one-dimensional strongly interacting chain of fermions, where the response can be well understood in terms of spinon and holon excitations. Upon increasing the spin imbalance between the spin species, we observe the single-electron response of the fully polarised system to emanate from the holon peak while the spinon response vanishes. For experimental setups that probe one-dimensional properties, we propose this method as an additional generic tool to aid the identification of spectral structures, e.g. in ARPES measurements. We show that this applies even to trapped systems having cold atomic gas experiments in mind.

description: Little is known about the process by which pre-IPO companies select independent, outside board members — directors unaffiliated with the company or its investors. Private companies are not required to disclose their selection criteria or process, and are not required to satisfy the regulatory requirements for board members set out by public listing exchanges. In this Closer Look, we look at when, why, and how private companies add their first independent, outside director to the board. We ask: Why do pre-IPO companies rely on very different criteria and processes to recruit outside directors than public companies do? What does this teach us about governance quality? How important are industry knowledge and managerial experience to board oversight? How important are independence and monitoring? Does a tradeoff exist between engagement and fit on the one hand and independence on the other?

Deconstructing, refocusing and reframing the postdramatic experience
Creators: name: Roberts, GC
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Deconstructing, refocusing and reframing the postdramatic experience is an investigation of connections within hierarchy roles in Postdramatic theatre, and the relationship audiences have with those structures. The traditional hierarchy consists of director/playwright at the top, however the Postdramatic style is centred on images and symbols, therefore this existing structure must change. The overall objective of this investigation is to explore the balance between audience's involvement in a live Postdramatic theatre piece and how much a purely scenographic and design based performance can influence that experience. And what the nature of that experience could be. Although there is an overall objective for this investigation, the project is divided into cycles of practice where each cycle will examine one particular technical design component in a certain context. Cycle One investigates sound and Cycle Two investigates lighting. The aim of this project is to examine relationships between the theatre scenographer and audience through an experimentation with aesthetic structures within theatrical works. The project aims are to highlight the hierarchy at play in different theatre styles, while putting the scenographer at the centre of the process and also to break down the assigned importance of the text in the process of a production. This investigation will have its base in a staged interpretation of Samuel Beckett's Quad (1981). Due to the nonconventional nature of a piece, it is important to address the scenographic structures in relationship to the reception of a theatre work. It is also important to understand each role the technical components and design play within a Postdramatic theatre setting due to the strong reliance on non-text based components.

description: We propose a generalized Bell inequality for two three-dimensional systems with three settings in each local measurement. It is shown that this inequality is maximally violated if local measurements are configured to be mutually unbiased and a composite state is maximally entangled. This feature is similar to Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality for two qubits but is in contrast with the two types of inequalities, Collins-Gisin-Linden-Massar-Popescu and Son-Lee-Kim, for high-dimensional systems. The generalization to aribitrary prime-dimensional systems is discussed.

Aspects of neurohypophysial physiology during fetal development and pregnancy in the fur seal Callorhinus ursinus
Creators: name: Vizsolyi, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The neurohypophyses of the fur seal, Callorhinus ursinus were studied in the control non-breeding animals, in the pregnant females at five stages of gestation, and in their fetuses at seven stages of intrauterine life. The neurohypophyses of the fur seal, a marine mammal, were found to be exceptionally potent in rat uterus and vasopressor activities. Purification procedures and amino acid analyses have shown the active neurohypophysial peptides of the seal, in common with the majority of mammalian species, to be arginine vasopressin and oxytocin. The neurohypophysial hormone levels of the pregnant females were found to be fluctuating from the control level with the advancement of gestation. The vasopressor activity showed an initial rise between 0.19 and 0.31 of term, but during the remainder of pregnancy it was found to fall below the control values. The oxytocic activities were found to be elevated from the control values all through pregnancy, but a fluctuation in the potencies was detected, which parallelled that found for vasopressor activities. Neurosecretory activity in the fetal neurohypophysial system was investigated at seven stages of gestation by histological, pharmacological and biochemical methods. The histological studies have shown the two hypothalamic nuclei, the supra-optic and the para-ventricular nucleus, as well as the neurohypophysis to contain neurosecretory material at 0.5 of term, or mid-gestation. However, biological activities as measured by rat uterus, vasopressor and frog bladder assays were detected at a much earlier stage, at 0.19 of term. In the vasopressor and rat uterus activities a steady accumulation of activities was recorded with the advancement of gestation, but in the third biological activity, the potency on the isolated frog bladder, the highest value was recorded at 0.68 of term, and declined from there until term. Since the neurohypophysial hormones of the fetal neurohypophysis have not been previously purified, the crude posterior pituitary extracts of fetuses were subjected to gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography. The pharmacological characteristics of the purified fetal principles, when assayed against synthetic standards, suggested that they were arginine vasopressin, oxytocin and arginine vasotocin. These findings were confirmed by amino acid analyses of the three active neurohypophysial peptides, and it was concluded that the fetal neurohypophysis contains arginine vasotocin, the antidiuretic hormone of sub-mammalian vertebrates, in addition to oxytocin and arginine vasopressin, the commonly occurring mammalian peptides. Preliminary experiments suggested that the embryonic membranes might constitute the possible target organs of the fetal neurohypophysial agents.
Extracting Nucleon Magnetic Moments and Electric Polarizabilities from Lattice QCD in Background Electric Fields

description: Nucleon properties are investigated in background electric fields. As the magnetic moments of baryons affect their relativistic propagation in constant electric fields, electric polarizabilities cannot be determined without knowledge of magnetic moments. This is analogous to the experimental situation, for which determination of polarizabilities from the Compton amplitude requires subtraction of Born terms. With the background field method, we devise combinations of nucleon correlation functions in constant electric fields that isolate magnetic moments and electric polarizabilities. Using an ensemble of anisotropic gauge configurations with dynamical clover fermions, we demonstrate how both observables can be determined from lattice QCD simulations in background electric fields. We obtain results for the neutron and proton, however, our study is currently limited to electrically neutral sea quarks. The value we extract for the nucleon isovector magnetic moment is comparable to those obtained from measuring lattice three-point functions at similar pion masses.

The notion of a representation compatible with a given grading is defined and applied to finite-dimensional representations of $sl(n,\mathbb{C})$ in relation with its $\mathbb{Z}_2$-gradings. For representation theory of $sl(n,\mathbb{C})$ the Gel'fand-Tseitlin method turned out very effective.

description: Every symplectic spread of PG(3,q), or equivalently every ovoid of Q(4,q), is shown to give rise to a certain family of permutation polynomials of GF(q) and conversely. This leads to an algebraic proof of the existence of the Tits-Luneburg spread of W(2^{2h+1}) and the Ree-Tits spread of W(3^{2h+1}), as well as to a new family of low-degree permutation polynomials over GF(3^{2h+1}). We prove the permutation property of the latter polynomials via an odd characteristic analogue of Dobbertin's approach to uniformly representable permutation polynomials over GF(2^n). These new permutation polynomials were later used by Ding, Wang, and Xiang in arXiv:math/0609586 to produce new skew Hadamard difference sets.

Can angular momentum loss cause the period change of NN Ser?
Creators: name: Chen, Wen-Cong
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: NN Ser is a non mass-transferring pre-cataclysmic variable containing a white dwarf with a mass of $\sim 0.5 M_{\odot}$ and an M dwarf secondary star with a mass of $\sim 0.2 M_{\odot}$. Based on the data detected by the high-speed CCD camera ULTRACAM, it was observed that the orbital period of NN Ser is decreasing, which may be caused by a genuine angular momentum loss or the presence of a third body. However, neither gravitational radiation and magnetic braking can ideally account for the period change of NN Ser. In this Letter, we attempt to examine a feasible mechanism which can drain the angular momentum from NN Ser. We propose that a fossil circumbinary disk (CB disk) around the binary may have been established at the end of the common envelope phase, and the tidal torques caused by the gravitational interaction between the disk and the binary can efficiently extract the orbital angular momentum from the system. We find that only if M dwarf has an ultra-high wind loss rates of $\sim 10^{-10} M_{\odot} \rm yr^{-1}$, and a large fraction ($δ\sim 10 %$) of wind loss is fed into the CB disk, the loss rates of angular momentum via the CB disk can interpret the period change observed in NN Ser. Such a wind loss rate and $δ$-value seem to be incredible. Hence it seems that the presence of a third body in a long orbit around the binary might account for the changing period of NN Ser.

Stochastic self-enrichment, pre-enrichment, and the formation of globular clusters

description: We develop a model for stochastic pre-enrichment and self-enrichment in globular clusters (GCs) during their formation process. GCs beginning their formation have an initial metallicity determined by the pre-enrichment of their surrounding protocloud, but can also undergo internal self-enrichment during formation. Stochastic variations in metallicity arise because of the finite numbers of supernova. We construct an analytic formulation of the combined effects of pre-enrichment and self-enrichment and use Monte Carlo models to verify that the model accurately encapsulates the mean metallicity and metallicity spread among real GCs. The predicted metallicity spread due to self-enrichment alone, a robust prediction of the model, is much smaller than the observed spread among real GCs. This result rules out self-enrichment as a significant contributor to the metal content in most GCs, leaving pre-enrichment as the viable alternative. Self-enrichment can, however, be important for clusters with masses well above 10^6 Msun, which are massive enough to hold in a significant fraction of their SN ejecta even without any external pressure confinement. This transition point corresponds well to the mass at which a mass-metallicity relationship ("blue tilt") appears in the metal-poor cluster sequence in many large galaxies. We therefore suggest that self-enrichment is the primary driver for the mass-metallicity relation. Other predictions from our model are that the cluster-to-cluster metallicity spread decreases amongst the highest mass clusters; and that the red GC sequence should also display a more modest mass-metallicity trend if it can be traced to similarly high mass.

description: At present, microlensing light curves from different telescopes and filters are photometrically aligned by fitting them to a common model. We present a second method based on photometry of common field stars. If two spectral responses are similar (or the color of the source is known) then this technique can resolve important ambiguities that frequently arise when predicting the future course of the event, and that occasionally persist even when the event is over. Or if the spectral responses are different, it can be used to derive the color of the source when that is unknown. We present the essential elements of this technique and apply it to the case of MOA-2007-BLG-192, an important planetary event for which the system may be a terrestrial planet orbiting a brown dwarf or very low mass star. The refined estimate of the source color that we derive here, V-I=2.36 +- 0.03, will aid in making the estimate of the lens mass more precise.

description: In an ever-changing world, where traditional borders and cultural barriers are gradually disappearing, globalization is becoming an inescapable phenomenon. This new era of global connectivity and intercultural exchange underscores the crucial importance of education. Indeed, for a country like Morocco, adapting to this global dynamic is essential to maintaining its competitiveness and asserting its position on the international stage. In this context, education is not only a tool for individual emancipation, but also a strategic lever for the country's economic development.

Faced with these challenges, Morocco finds itself at a crossroads. The need to modernize its education system is imperative if it is to meet the challenges of the 21st century. This modernization aims to prepare the Moroccan population to be more competitive, innovative and adaptable to rapid changes in the global marketplace.

In this context, placing education at the heart of economic development strategies is becoming an absolute priority.

The aim of this article is to bring together two concepts: education and economic growth.

description: The synchrotron-self Compton (SSC) radiation process is widely held to provide a close representation of the double peaked spectral energy distributions from BL Lac Objects (BL Lacs), which are marked by non-thermal beamed radiations, highly variable on timescales of days or less. Their outbursts in the gamma ray relative to the optical/X rays might be surmised to be enhanced in BL Lacs as these photons are upscattered via the inverse Compton (IC) process. From the observed correlations among the spectral parameters during optical/X-ray variations we aim at predicting corresponding correlations in the gamma-ray band, and the actual relations between the gamma-ray and the X-ray variability consistent with the SSC emission process. We start from the homogeneous single-zone SSC source model, with log-parabolic energies distributions of emitting electron as required by the X-ray data of many sources. We find relations among spectral parameters of the IC radiation in both the Thomson (for Low energy BL Lacs) and the Klein-Nishina regimes (mainly for High energy BL Lacs) and we compute how variability is driven by a smooth increase of key source parameters, primarily the root mean square electron energy. The single component SSC source model in the Thomson regime turns out to be adequate for many LBL sources. However, the simple model meets its limits with the fast/strong flares recently reported for a few sources in the TeV range; these require sudden accelerations of emitting electrons in a second source component.

The system acts then as a cooler for the mechanical mode at the condition that the electron temperature is lower than the phonon temperature. The final effective temperature of the vibrational mode depends strongly on the bias conditions and can be lower or higher of the reservoir in contact with the oscillator. We discuss the efficiency of this method, in particular we find that there is an optimal value for the electron-phonon coupling that maximizes cooling.

The role of e-portfolios in higher education : the experience of pre-service teachers
Creators: name: Babaee, Maliheh
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The term e-portfolio refers to a portfolio in electronic format that allows users to collect evidence of learning in several media types (e.g., audio, video, text, and graphics) and to organise these using hypertext links (Barrett, 2001). E-portfolios have been introduced into teacher education programs internationally to help pre-service teachers (PST) build records of their learning and reflections, and allow them to assemble collections of evidence of their achievements against graduate standards. These e-portfolios may function as digital CVs; and also support lifelong learning after graduation (Oakley, Pegrum, & Johnston, 2014). Through investigating the experience of e-portfolio use by PSTs, this thesis provides significant evidence about the high quality implementation of e-portfolios in higher education. The thesis explores the reasons behind the participants' success in an e-portfolio-based unit. In particular, the research explores the reasons why a number of the participants were more successful than others when using e-portfolios. This is the first research which has examined PSTs perspectives on e-portfolio-based learning within constructivism, students' approach to learning (SAL), the 3P model (presage, process, and product) of learning, and self-regulated learning (SRL). An e-portfolio-based unit in the Faculty of Education in an Australian University was investigated using a mixed methods research design to analyse the data gathered through conducting pre-unit and post-unit interviews. The qualitative analysis examines the participants' conceptions of e-portfolios, their perceptions of the teaching and learning context, and the effect of these on their approaches to learning and their learning outcomes. A questionnaire was distributed at week 11 to measure how they conceived e-portfolios, how they perceived the quality of the teaching, the clarity of the goals, and the appropriateness of the assessment and workload. This research showed that there was variation in the academic achievements of the PSTs when using e-portfolios and the results of the analysis confirmed that the learning outcomes at the surface or deep approach to learning were affected by the participants' conceptions of the e-portfolios, their perceived role, and the perceptions of their lecturers' role. In particular, their experience in the course depended on their perception of good teaching, clarity of their goals, and appropriate workload and assessment in the unit. Therefore, these factors seemed to be significantly related to what they did, and the strategies they used when using the e-portfolio. The implications of the results of this thesis are relevant for educators responsible for designing new e-portfolio-based units or courses, and improving the teaching and learning outcomes of existing e-portfolio-based learning.

description: We introduce a data reduction package written in Interactive Data Language (IDL) for the Magellan Echellete Spectrograph (MAGE). MAGE is a medium-resolution (R ~4100), cross-dispersed, optical spectrograph, with coverage from ~3000-10000 Angstroms. The MAGE Spectral Extractor (MASE) incorporates the entire image reduction and calibration process, including bias subtraction, flat fielding, wavelength calibration, sky subtraction, object extraction and flux calibration of point sources. We include examples of the user interface and reduced spectra. We show that the wavelength calibration is sufficient to achieve ~5 km/s RMS accuracy and relative flux calibrations better than 10%. A light-weight version of the full reduction pipeline has been included for real-time source extraction and signal-to-noise estimation at the telescope.

description: We consider a tower of function fields F_0 < F_1 < ... over a finite field such that every place of every F_i ramified in the tower and the sequence genus(F_i)/[F_i:F_0] has a finite limit. We also construct a tower in which every place ramifies and the sequence N_i/[F_i:F_0] has a positive limit, where N_i is the number of degree-one places of F_i. These towers answer questions posed by Stichtenoth.

The role of static stress diffusion in the spatio-temporal organization of aftershocks

description: We investigate the spatial distribution of aftershocks and we find that aftershock linear density exhibits a maximum, that depends on the mainshock magnitude, followed by a power law decay. The exponent controlling the asymptotic decay and the fractal dimensionality of epicenters clearly indicate triggering by static stress. The non monotonic behavior of the linear density and its dependence on the mainshock magnitude can be interpreted in terms of diffusion of static stress. This is supported by the power law growth with exponent $H\simeq 0.5$ of the average main-aftershock distance. Implementing static stress diffusion within a stochastic model for aftershock occurrence we are able to reproduce aftershock linear density spatial decay, its dependence on the mainshock magnitude and its evolution in time.

Position Dependent Mass Schroedinger Equation and Isospectral Potentials : Intertwining Operator approach

description: Here we have studied first and second-order intertwining approach to generate isospectral partner potentials of position-dependent (effective) mass Schroedinger equation. The second-order intertwiner is constructed directly by taking it as second order linear differential operator with position depndent coefficients and the system of equations arising from the intertwining relationship is solved for the coefficients by taking an ansatz. A complete scheme for obtaining general solution is obtained which is valid for any arbitrary potential and mass function. The proposed technique allows us to generate isospectral potentials with the following spectral modifications: (i) to add new bound state(s), (ii) to remove bound state(s) and (iii) to leave the spectrum unaffected. To explain our findings with the help of an illustration, we have used point canonical transformation (PCT) to obtain the general solution of the position dependent mass Schrodinger equation corresponding to a potential and mass function. It is shown that our results are consistent with the formulation of type A N-fold supersymmetry [14,18] for the particular case N = 1 and N = 2 respectively.

Large-scale magnetic flux concentrations from turbulent stresses

description: In this study we provide the first numerical demonstration of the effects of turbulence on the mean Lorentz force and the resulting formation of large-scale magnetic structures. Using three-dimensional direct numerical simulations (DNS) of forced turbulence we show that an imposed mean magnetic field leads to a decrease of the turbulent hydromagnetic pressure and tension. This phenomenon is quantified by determining the relevant functions that relate the sum of the turbulent Reynolds and Maxwell stresses with the Maxwell stress of the mean magnetic field. Using such a parameterization, we show by means of two-dimensional and three-dimensional mean-field numerical modelling that an isentropic density stratified layer becomes unstable in the presence of a uniform imposed magnetic field. This large-scale instability results in the formation of loop-like magnetic structures which are concentrated at the top of the stratified layer. In three dimensions these structures resemble the appearance of bipolar magnetic regions in the Sun. The results of DNS and mean-field numerical modelling are in good agreement with theoretical predictions. We discuss our model in the context of a distributed solar dynamo where active regions and sunspots might be rather shallow phenomena.

The calculation of the equation of state of QCD at finite chemical potential and zero temperature

description: In this paper, we give a direct method for calculating the partition function, and hence the equation of state (EOS) of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) at finite chemical potential and zero temperature. In the EOS derived in this paper the pressure density is the sum of two terms: the first term ${\cal P}(μ)|_{μ=0}$ (the pressure density at $μ=0$) is a $μ$-independent constant; the second term, which is totally determined by $G_R[μ](p)$ (the renormalized dressed quark propagator at finite $μ$), contains all the nontrivial $μ$-dependence. By applying a general result in the rainbow-ladder approximation of the Dyson-Schwinger approach obtained in our previous study [Phys. Rev. {\bf C 71}, 015205 (2005)], $G_R[μ](p)$ is calculated from the meromorphic quark propagator proposed in [Phys. Rev. {\bf D 70}, 014014 (2004)]. From this the full analytic expression of the EOS of QCD at finite $μ$ and zero $T$ is obtained (apart from the constant term ${\cal P}(μ)|_{μ=0}$ which can in principle be calculated from the CJT effective action). A comparison between our EOS and the cold, perturbative EOS of QCD of Fraga, Pisarski and Schaffner-Bielich is made. It is expected that our EOS can provide a possible new approach for the study of neutron stars.
