description: We present new results from a systematic study of absorption line strengths of galaxies in clusters approaching redshifts of unity. In this paper, we specifically compare the strengths of the high-order Balmer absorption features of Hgamma and Hdelta in E/S0s in the four clusters Abell 2256 (z=0.06), CL1358+62 (z=0.33), MS2053--04 (z=0.58), and MS1054--03 (z=0.83). By comparing the correlation of Balmer line strength with velocity dispersion for E/S0s in the three clusters, we find moderate evolution in the zero-point of the (Hdelta_A+Hgamma_A)-sigma relation with redshift. The trend is consistent with passive evolution of old stellar populations. Under the assumption that the samples can be compared directly, we use single-burst stellar population synthesis models to constrain the last major occurrences of star-formation in the observed E/S0s to be z_f > 2.5 (95% confidence). We have compared the evolution of the Balmer absorption with the evolution of the B-band fundamental plane and find that simple stellar population models agree very well with the data. While the best agreement occurs with a low value for Omega_m, the data provide strong confirmation of the time-evolution in recent stellar population models.

description: FUSE spectra were obtained of the supersoft X-ray binary RX J0019.8+2156 (QR And) during 16 consecutive spacecraft orbits, covering the binary orbit (P=15.85 hr) with about 0.2 phase overlap. The spectrum is dominated by strong H2 absorption (column density ~10**20 g/cm**2), which appears at a radial velocity different from other interstellar absorption lines and may be partially circumbinary. This absorption makes study of spectral features from the binary system difficult. The only well-detected emission lines are He II, 1085A, and O VI, 1032A, (the other line of the O VI doublet, 1037A, is largely obscured by strong H2 absorption). The O VI shows a P Cygni profile that varies in velocity and strength with binary phase. We compare this with similar changes seen in Balmer line profiles. We extract the FUV light curve and compare it with the optical light curve. There is an eclipse in both wavelength regions, but the FUV minimum lasts much longer, well beyond the visible light egress. The FUV results are discussed in connection with the binary model and mass flows within the system.

description: The Jimmy Possum chairmaking tradition (1887–1955) is a unique Australian material cultural expression bound to the history, community, and landscape of Deloraine, Tasmania, the location that this studio research project was undertaken. While the tradition’s chairs are in major Australian and international public institutional collections, little is known about the tradition’s chairmakers or its mysterious namesake beyond the limited scope of the last scholarly enquiry conducted by Honours students enrolled at the Tasmanian School of Art in 1978. This research seeks to better understand the tradition through reflecting on the implications of the collective act of making a chair in the Deloraine district, the home of the Jimmy Possum chairmaking tradition. The chair created during the studio research, Re-Examine, is the major work at my Doctor of Visual Art examination exhibition. The work employs the work practices and design configuration of the Jimmy Possum tradition as a reference point but diverges from it in regard to its materiality, production, and in terms of its meaning to the communities that identify with the tradition. The studio research project also seeks to better understand how artists and designers can augment and provide unique insights into historical material cultural traditions that conventional text-based historiographical inquiries have difficulty explaining. Re-Examine’s creation sought a deeper historiographic understanding of the Jimmy Possum chairmaking tradition through the assembling of community knowledge and engagement. The work’s creation both informed the tradition and was informed by the tradition.

description: This paper introduces HopRank, an algorithm for modeling human navigation on semantic networks. HopRank leverages the assumption that users know or can see the whole structure of the network. Therefore, besides following links, they also follow nodes at certain distances (i.e., k-hop neighborhoods), and not at random as suggested by PageRank, which assumes only links are known or visible. We observe such preference towards k-hop neighborhoods on BioPortal, one of the leading repositories of biomedical ontologies on the Web. In general, users navigate within the vicinity of a concept. But they also "jump" to distant concepts less frequently. We fit our model on 11 ontologies using the transition matrix of clickstreams, and show that semantic structure can influence teleportation in PageRank. This suggests that users--to some extent--utilize knowledge about the underlying structure of ontologies, and leverage it to reach certain pieces of information. Our results help the development and improvement of user interfaces for ontology exploration.

description: We observed the nearest gravitational lensing cluster candidate, A 3408 (${\it z}=0.042$), with ASCA. The projected mass profile of A 3408 was determined from the ICM temperature and the $β$-model parameters obtained with ASCA, assuming that the hot gas is spherically symmetric and in hydrostatic equilibrium. The projected mass within an arc radius, $r_{\rm arc}$, of 110 kpc is $M(r_{\rm arc})=1.2^{+0.8}_{-0.4} \times10^{13} \MO$. This is 18 -- 45% of the mass previously derived from a lensing analysis by Campusano et al. (1998, AAA 069.160.189) without any X-ray information. The primary cause of this discrepancy is in their assumption that the center of the cluster potential coincides with the position of the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG), while we reveal the BCG position to be 60$''$ outside of the X-ray center. We further calculated a model for the source galaxy position and the gravitational potential that can reproduce both the X-ray data and the arc image. In this model, the magnification factor of the lens for the source galaxy was evaluated to be $Δm=$ 0.07$\pm$0.03 mag; i.e., the source galaxy is slightly magnified by the lens cluster A 3408.

description: Although global cases and death from malaria have reduced over the last ten years, malaria is still a significant infectious disease. This disease kills about 2000 people per day. There is currently no licenced vaccine and current drugs are failing due to parasite drug resistance. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop new drugs to prevent and treat this disease. Natural products and their derivatives have played a significant role in drug discovery, since they have been an important source or inspiration for numerous current drugs. Australian macrofungi have rarely been studied for their potential as sources of new bioactive natural products, and in the antimalarial drug discovery realm, this is a pioneering study. As part of a research program aimed at identifying new antimalarial lead compounds or drugs from nature, a pre-fractionated fungal library was screened for antimalarial activity. All macrofungi used during these studies were collected from a variety of ecosystems found within the state of Queensland, Australia. A taxonomically diverse set of fungi were used with 37 families and 62 genera represented. The library consisted of 2,035 fractions obtained from C18 HPLC fractionation of 407 DCM/MeOH fungal extracts, with five fractions collected for each extract. A radiometric growth inhibition assay was used to screen the fractions against the chloroquine sensitive Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 malaria parasite line. Of the 2,035 fractions screened, 20 displayed inhibition of >80% towards P. falciparum, the cut off selected for pursuing lead fractions. Bioassay- or UV-guided fractionations were performed on three fungal samples, and several antimalarial natural product compounds were purified and their chemical structures determined using a combination of 1D/2D NMR, MS, and UV data.

subject: Fruit harvesting

description: Apricots must be of high quality for consumers to have an enjoyable eating experience and thus increase demand. Unfortunately, apricot fruit quality has been highly variable. As a result, consumers have often been dissatisfied because fruit were either immature, hard and had no flavour, or else they were over-soft and mealy. It has been suggested that harvest maturity is the most important factor affecting the quality of many fruits. However, many other factors have been shown to affect apricot fruit quality. There are gaps in understanding on how some of these factors affect apricot fruit quality and no attempts have been made to develop integrated strategies for its control. The aim of this study, therefore, was to identify how management of several major factors could improve apricot fruit quality. The effects of crop load and harvest maturity on fruit soluble solids concentration (SSC) and flesh firmness were determined and their effects on consumer preferences were examined. Reducing crop load resulted in higher fruit SSC in one of two years, whereas fruit harvested at a more mature stage had higher SSC in both years. Consumers preferred fruit that had higher SSC only when they were at an eating-firmness of approximately 10 to 25 N. When fruit were over-soft, i.e. less than 10 N, differences in SSC were not significant. In general, consumers preferred fruit that were grown on trees thinned to approximately 10 to 20% less than typical commercial crop loads and were harvested at a more mature stage.

description: The distribution of electric current on an electrode surface in electrolyte varies with time due to charge accumulation at a capacitive interface, as well as due to electrode kinetics and concentration polarization in the medium. Initially, the potential at the electrode-electrolyte interface is uniform, resulting in a non-uniform current distribution due to the uneven ohmic drop of the potential in the medium. Over time, however, the non-uniform current density causes spatially varying rate of the charge accumulation at the interface, breaking down its equipotentiality. We developed an analytical model to describe such transition at a capacitive interface when the current is below the mass-transfer limitation, and demonstrated that the steady distribution of the current is achieved when the current density is proportional to the capacitance per unit area, which leads to linear voltage ramp at the electrode. More specific results regarding the dynamics of this transition are provided for a disk electrode, along with an experimental validation of the theoretical result. These findings are important for many electrochemical applications, and in particular, for proper design of the electro-neural interfaces.

description: The differentially heated rotating annulus is a widely studied tabletop-size laboratory model of the general mid-latitude atmospheric circulation. The two most relevant factors of cyclogenesis, namely rotation and meridional temperature gradient are quite well captured in this simple arrangement. The radial temperature difference in the cylindrical tank and its rotation rate can be set so that the isothermal surfaces in the bulk tilt, leading to the formation of baroclinic waves. The signatures of these waves at the free water surface have been analyzed via infrared thermography in a wide range of rotation rates (keeping the radial temperature difference constant) and under different initial conditions. In parallel to the laboratory experiments, five groups of the MetStröm collaboration have conducted numerical simulations in the same parameter regime using different approaches and solvers, and applying different initial conditions and perturbations. The experimentally and numerically obtained baroclinic wave patterns have been evaluated and compared in terms of their dominant wave modes, spatio-temporal variance properties and drift rates. Thus certain “benchmarks” have been created that can later be used as test cases for atmospheric numerical model validation.

description: We report the X-ray population study in the giant molecular cloud Sagittarius B2 (SgrB2). More than a dozen of X-ray cloud members (and candidates) are discovered with Chandra. Two bright X-ray sources are located near Sgr B2 Main, the most copious complex of the ultra compact HII sources. The X-ray spectra are fitted with a thin thermal plasma model of 5-10 keV temperature. The intrinsic luminosity after correcting the absorption of 5 x 10^23 H/cm^2 is about 10^33 erg/s. Although these two X-ray sources are attributable to young stellar objects (YSOs) in the same HII complex, they are in sharp contrast; one at the center of the HII complex exhibits strong K-shell transition lines of iron, while the other near the east has only weak lines. The other HII complexes, SgrB2 North and South, also show hard and highly absorbed X-ray emissions due possibly to the star formation activity. The composite X-ray spectrum of the other cloud member X-ray sources is fitted with a thin thermal plasma of about 10-keV temperature with the hydrogen column density (N_H) of 1.3 x 10^23 H/cm^2, and the individual X-ray luminosity of a few times of 10^31-32$ erg/s. These are likely to be a single or cluster of YSO(s), but neither radio nor infrared counterpart is found. An alternative scenario of isolated white dwarfs powered by the Bondi-Hoyle accretion from the dense cloud gas is also discussed. The X-ray spectra exhibit an additional 6.4-keV line of neutral or low-ionization irons, which indicates that the environment gas is concentrated near at the sources.

Microflares and Hot Component in Solar Active Regions

description: Open-shutter RHESSI observations of 3-15 keV X-rays are found to exhibit active region transient brightenings and microflares at a rate of at least 10 per hour occurring even during the periods of lowest solar activity so far in the mission. A thermal component fitted by temperatures of 6-14 MK dominates from 3 keV to about 9 keV, but can be traced up to 14 keV in some cases, and has an average duration of 131(+-103) seconds at 7-8 keV. The duration increases with decreasing photon energy. The peak count rate defined by cross-correlation is delayed at low energies. The temperature peaks early in the event and then decreases, whereas the emission measure increases throughout the event. The properties are consistent with thermal conduction dominating the evolution. In some of the bigger events, a second component was found in the 11-14 keV range extending down to 8 keV in some cases. The duration is typically 3 times shorter and ends near the peak time of the thermal component consistent with the Neupert effect of regular flares. Therefore the second component is suggested to be of non-thermal origin, presumably causing the beam-driven evaporation of the first component. The two components can be separated and analyzed in detail for the first time. Low-keV measurements allow a reliable estimate of the energy input by microflares necessary to assess their relevance for coronal heating.

description: Living organisms have mastered the dynamic control of internal stresses to perform an array of functions, such as change shape and locomote. State-of-the-art attempts to replicate this ability in synthetic materials are rudimentary in comparison. Here we present the first experimental realization of a self-oscillating gel in a thin sheet configuration. We show that internal signaling produces stresses that drive lifelike shape changes, that the material's response is accurately modelled with the theory of non-Euclidean elasticity and that the internal signaling can be programmed with light. Together, our results demonstrate a complete route for developing fully autonomous soft machines.

description: We present seeing-limited and adaptive optics (AO) images of the z = 1.786 radio galaxy 3C294 in the H and K' infrared bands obtained at Keck Observatory. The infrared emission of 3C294 is dominated by two distinct components separated by ~1" (9 kpc). The eastern knot contains an unresolved core that contributes ~4% of the K'-band light; we identify this core with the active nucleus. The western component is about 2.5 times brighter. The most plausible interpretation of the near-infrared morphology is an ongoing merger event, with the active nucleus located in the less massive of the two galaxies.

description: Social networks have changed the nature of communication in the modern world: they have changed how people communicate, the frequency and mode of communication, and how people relate to those communications. Social networks have also changed the type of information that is communicated. One of the notable developments has been a proliferation of the sharing of images that people have taken themselves. From the ubiquitous selfie through to group shots, personal images are now a key part of modern social communication. A number of problems have arisen as a consequence of the rapid increase in the sharing of personal images online. This is because personal images uploaded online are, more now than ever, prone to misuse. Third parties are easily able to reuse, distort and alter images that are uploaded on social networks. As a result, people are at risk of losing control over the images that they upload online.

description: Electron capture on $^{20}$Ne is critically important for the final stage of evolution of stars with the initial masses of 8 - 10 $M_{\odot}$. In the present paper, we evaluate electron capture rates for a forbidden transition $^{20}$Ne (0$_{g.s.}^{+}$) $\rightarrow$ $^{20}$F (2$_{g.s.}^{+}$) in stellar environments by the multipole expansion method with the use of shell-model Hamiltonians. These rates have not been accurately determined in theory as well as in experiments. Our newly evaluated rates are compared with those obtained by a prescription that treats the transition as an allowed Gamow-Teller (GT) transition with the strength determined from a recent $β$-decay experiment for $^{20}$F (2$_{g.s.}^{+}$) $\rightarrow$ $^{20}$Ne (0$_{g.s.}^{+}$) \citep{Kirsebom}. We find that different electron energy dependence of the transition strengths between the two methods leads to sizable differences in the weak rates of the two methods. We also find that the Coulomb effects, that is, the effects of screening on ions and electrons are non-negligible. We apply our e-capture rates on $^{20}$Ne to the calculation of the evolution of high-density O-Ne-Mg cores of 8 - 10 $M_{\odot}$ stars. We find that our new rates affect the abundance distribution and the central density at the final stage of evolution.

description: We use density-functional band-structure calculations to explore the origin of the up-up-down-down (UUDD) magnetic order in Cu$_2$GeO$_4$ with the frustrated $J_1-J_2$ spin chains coupled into layers within the spinel-like crystal structure. In contrast to earlier studies, we find that the nearest-neighbor coupling $J_1$ may be negligibly small, owing to a nearly perfect compensation of the ferromagnetic direct exchange and antiferromagnetic superexchange. Under this condition, weak symmetric anisotropy of the exchange couplings gives rise to the UUDD order observed experimentally and also elucidates the non-trivial ordering pattern between the layers, whereas a small Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction causes a spin canting that may generate local electric polarization. We argue that the buckling of the copper chains plays a crucial role in the suppression of $J_1$ in Cu$_2$GeO$_4$ and sets this compound apart from other $J_1-J_2$ chain magnets.

description: We present an examination of the multi-wavelength observation of a C7.9 flare which occurred on 1998 November 10. This is the first time of imaging observation of the quasi-periodic pulsations (QPPs). Four bursts were observed with the hard X-ray telescope aboard Yohkoh and the Nobeyama Radioheliograph during the impulsive phase of the flare. In the second burst, the hard X-ray and microwave time profiles clearly showed a QPP. We estimated the Alfven transit time along the flare loop using the images of the soft X-ray telescope aboard it Yohkoh and the photospheric magnetgrams, and found that the transit time was almost equal to the period of the QPP. We therefore suggest, based on a shock acceleration model, that variations of macroscopic magnetic structures, such as oscillations of coronal loops, affect the efficiency of particle injection/acceleration.

description: We investigate the effects of molecular opacities on the evolution of TP-AGB stars that experience the third dredge-up, i.e. with surface abundances of carbon and oxygen varying with time. To this aim, a routine is constructed to derive the molecular concentrations through dissociation equilibrium calculations, and estimate the opacities due to H2, H2O, OH, C2, CN, and CO for any given density, temperature, and chemical composition of the gas. Then, synthetic TP-AGB models with dredge-up are calculated by either 1) adopting the newly developed routine, or 2) interpolating between fixed opacity tables for solar chemical composition, which is the usual prescription in AGB evolution calculations. The comparison between the two cases shows that the change in the dominant opacity sources, as the C/O ratio grows from below to above unity, crucially affects the evolution of the effective temperature, i.e. causing a notable cooling of the carbon-rich models (with C/O>1). From the comparison with observational data, it turns out that TP-AGB models with variable molecular opacities are able to reproduce the observed range of effective temperatures, mass-loss rates, and wind expansion velocities of C-type giants in the solar neighbourhood, otherwise failed if assuming fixed molecular opacities for solar-scaled mixtures. Finally, we mention other important evolutionary and observational effects that result from the adoption of the variable opacities, such as: i) significant shortening of the C-star phase due to the earlier onset of the super-wind; ii) consequent reduction of the carbon yields; iii) reproduction of the observed range of near-infrared colours of C-stars.

description: We have recently proposed a setup of the "Domain-Wall Standard Model" in 5D spacetime, where all the Standard Model (SM) fields are localized in certain domains of the extra 5th dimension. Utilizing this setup, we attempt to solve the fermion mass hierarchy problem of the SM. The mass hierarchy can be naturally explained by suitably distributing the fermions in different positions along the extra dimension. Due to these different localization points, the effective 4D gauge couplings of Kaluza-Klein (KK) mode gauge bosons to the SM fermions become non-universal. As a result, our model is severely constrained by the Flavor Changing Neutral Current (FCNC) measurements. We find two interesting cases in which our model is phenomenologically viable: (1) the KK-mode of the SM gauge bosons are extremely heavy and unlikely to be produced at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), while future FCNC measurements can reveal the existence of these heavy modes. (2) the width of the localized SM fermions is very narrow, leading to almost universal 4D KK-mode gauge couplings. In this case, the FCNC constraints can be easily avoided even if a KK gauge boson mass lies at the TeV scale. Such a light KK gauge boson can be searched at the LHC in the near future.

description: The escalating demands of modern life, driven by both social and economic imperatives, have spurred a corresponding increase in transportation needs, as elucidated by Fadare and Salami (2004). This necessity for movement is not a recent phenomenon but has been a fundamental aspect of human existence since ancient times, as evidenced by historical records dating back to Raft (1918). Over the centuries, individuals have navigated various modes of transportation to fulfill diverse requirements, whether it be the conveyance of goods, dissemination of information, or provision of services, as highlighted by Canoe (1972). However, the onset of urban transportation challenges, as documented by Orski (1975), coincided with rapid urbanization, population growth, and industrial expansion. As urban areas burgeoned, so too did the demand for public transportation, especially in locales where household access to private automobiles was limited. This reliance on public transit became particularly pronounced in developing nations, where automobile ownership remained constrained. Consequently, these regions grappled with soaring rates of traffic congestion, environmental pollution, and road accidents, as observed by Huntersville (1975).
V2051 Oph's disc evolution on decline from superoutburst

description: We present an Eclipse Mapping analysis of ten eclipses taken during decline from superoutburst of the dwarf nova V2051 Oph. On decline from superoutburst the disc cools down considerably from nearly 50,000 K in the intermediate disc (approx. 0.2 R_L1) near maximum to about 25,000 K at the end of our observing run, i.e. within 4 days. The average mass accretion rate through the disc drops in the same time from 10^18 g/s to below 10^17 g/s. While in some maps the brightness temperature follows the steady state model, in others the temperature profile shows flattenings and/or indication of an inward travelling cooling front with a speed of approximately -0.12 km/s, possibly a reflected heating front with a speed of +1.8 km/s and a newly reflected cooling front with the same speed as the first one. Such scenario has been predicted (Menou et al. 2000) but not been observed before. Furthermore, we see a prograde precession of the enlarged disc with a precession period of about 52.5 hours in very good agreement with the independently determined superhump period observed by Kiyota & Kato (1998). At the same time, the uneclipsed component -- presumeably a disc wind -- decreases significantly in strength during decline from superoutburst.

description: The connections among galaxies, the dark matter halos where they form and the properties of the large-scale Cosmic Web still need to be completely disentangled. We use the cosmological hydrodynamical simulation TNG100 of the IllustrisTNG suite to quantify the effects played by the large-scale density field and the Cosmic Web morphology on the relation between halo mass and galaxy stellar mass. We select objects with total dynamical mass in the range $\geq 6.3\times 10^{10} h ^{-1}\, M_{\odot}$ up to a few $10^{14} h^{-1} \, M_{\odot}$ between redshift $z=4$ and redshift $z=0$. A Cosmic Web class (knot, filament, sheet, void) is assigned to each region of the volume using a density field deformation tensor-based method. We find that galaxy stellar mass strongly correlates with total dynamical mass and formation time, and more weakly with large-scale overdensity and Cosmic Web class. The latter two quantities correlate with each other, but are not entirely degenerate. Furthermore, we find that at fixed halo mass, galaxies with stellar mass lower than the median value are more likely to be found in voids and sheets, whereas galaxies with stellar mass higher than the median are more likely to be found in filaments and knots. Finally, we find that the dependence on environment is stronger for satellites than for centrals, and discuss the physical implications of these results.

title: Ghana's Foreign Policy Post-Independence: A study of Kwame Nkrumah's Pan-Africanism
Creators: name: Asante, Charles
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Ghana
subject: Foreign policy
subject: Kwame Nkrumah

subject: Post-independence

description: This thesis employs the norm entrepreneurship approach to explore Ghana’s foreign policy during the post-independence era, with a particular focus on the country’s first President Kwame Nkrumah’s policy of Pan-Africanism. Pan-Africanism may be defined as the idea of protecting Africa’s selfdetermination, and promoting a sense of consciousness and group solidarity amongst people of African origin. This thesis critically examines Nkrumah’s leadership in the post-independence period, and the way in which his Pan-African ideal and legacy has continued to influence Ghana’s foreign policy engagement in the African region. In tracing the evolution of Ghana’s foreign policy under Nkrumah, two main cases are examined — Ghana’s peacekeeping engagement in the 1960–1964 Congo mission and the creation of a continental bloc, the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) in 1963. Norm entrepreneurship theory provides new insight into Nkrumah’s attempts to reinforce, articulate, and communicate his vision of Pan-Africanism. Buoyed by his success post-Ghana’s independence, Nkrumah continued to present himself as a crucial vehicle for protecting Africa’s political and economic independence. The concept of Pan-Africanism was vital in assisting Nkrumah articulate and champion Ghana’s path to achieve independence. It served to establish his leadership and his political networks. However, his devotion to the promotion of the Pan-African norm during his Presidency compromised his foreign policy choices and decisions; it was also paradoxical in view of the increasingly authoritarian leadership style he adopted in Ghana. This thesis presents the complexity of post-independence foreign policy decision making and the influence of the post-colonial narrative. Leaders such as Nkrumah considered themselves as the redeemers of Africa’s political and economic vulnerability from its colonial experiences. This thesis finds that, in contrast to the positive experience associated with his independence movement for Ghana, Nkrumah could not build the same kind of vision, engagement, and networks necessary for successful promotion of a Pan-African region. Despite Nkrumah’s own foreign policy failures in the Congo and OAU’s formation, as well as his sudden departure after a military coup, Nkrumah’s Pan-African vision is still promoted as an important foreign policy legacy by Ghana’s politicians, public servants, military, and academics. I argue that this legacy endures because the independent, post-colonial narrative matters as much as the promotion of geopolitical and material interests. The struggle for independence and the right to independent self-determination was not just a geopolitical fight; it was a deeply personal one in the case of Nkrumah and the Ghanaian population.
