description: We examine the effects of core-hole-induced dynamics and vibrational interference on computed x-ray emission spectra of H-bonded water. Two model pentamers were investigated, tetrahedral and distorted, representing possible local environments in proposed low- and high-density water. Core-hole-induced dynamics were considered in the simulations, and the semi-classical Kramers-Heisenberg (SCKH) scheme to convolute theoretical spectra was applied. We determine the origin of the split two peaks in XES of liquid water to be a combination of the initial H-bonding and subsequent dynamics, where we find faster dynamics for tetrahedrally bonded. We further find that H-bond acceptors move towards the core-excited molecule while donors move away and we analyse the origin of this dynamics in terms of charge-redistributions during the dynamics.

Interventions in perinatal medicine: A jurisdictional analysis
Creators: name: McGivern, B
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis concerns the role of courts in decisions regarding perinatal intervention. In particular, it examines the significance of jurisdiction to any determination a court may be asked to make about the performance or non-performance of some proposed intervention in the management of pregnancy and childbirth. The central theme of the work is that any judicial involvement in perinatal decisionmaking must be guided by the nature of, and operation of principle in, each of the jurisdictions that the courts could be asked to exercise. Those jurisdictions include the common law, statute, and the ancient parens patriae jurisdiction. It is contended that the exercise of each of those jurisdictions has a different scope and is governed by different sets of principles. An important premise is that the legal status accorded to a foetus, whilst relevant, is not necessarily determinative of any particular outcome. The analysis of each jurisdiction includes consideration of when, and to what extent, foetal status is relevant. Since the nature of the interests concerned are fundamental, and since decisions in this area evoke such strong emotional and moral responses, it is critical that any legal response be principled and informed. This work aims to identify the relevant decision-making constructs at play in each jurisdiction and to illustrate the application of those constructs to decisions about perinatal intervention. The thesis is a conceptual legal analysis of the considerations and limitations relevant to the exercise of each jurisdiction, and how each responds to the issues raised in the context of perinatal care. The focus of the analysis is on Australian law, although as a British common law jurisdiction that position is influenced by persuasive common law jurisdictions, that influence being reflected in the analysis. Equally, this work will have relevance to common law jurisdictions beyond Australia.

description: A recently proposed holographic duality allows the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of extremal rotating black holes to be calculated microscopically, by applying the Cardy formula to the two-dimensional chiral CFTs associated with certain reparameterisations of azimuthal angular coordinates in the solutions. The central charges are proportional to the angular momenta of the black hole, and so the method degenerates in the case of static (non-rotating) black holes. We show that the method can be extended to encompass such charged static extremal AdS black holes by using consistent Kaluza-Klein sphere reduction ansatze to lift them to exact solutions in the low-energy limits of string theory or M-theory, where the electric charges become reinterpreted as angular momenta associated with internal rotations in the reduction sphere. We illustrate the procedure for the examples of extremal charged static AdS black holes in four, five, six and seven dimensions.

description: An accurate equation of state of the one component plasma is obtained in the low coupling regime $0 \leq Γ\leq 1$. The accuracy results from a smooth combination of the well-known hypernetted chain integral equation, Monte Carlo simulations and asymptotic analytical expressions of the excess internal energy $u$. In particular, special attention has been brought to describe and take advantage of finite size effects on Monte Carlo results to get the thermodynamic limit of $u$. This combined approach reproduces very accurately the different plasma correlation regimes encountered in this range of values of $Γ$. This paper extends to low $Γ$'s an earlier Monte Carlo simulation study devoted to strongly coupled systems for $1 \leq Γ\leq 190$ ({J.-M. Caillol}, {J. Chem. Phys.} \textbf{111}, 6538 (1999)). Analytical fits of $u(Γ)$ in the range $0 \leq Γ\leq 1$ are provided with a precision that we claim to be not smaller than $p= 10^{-5}$. HNC equation and exact asymptotic expressions are shown to give reliable results for $u(Γ)$ only in narrow $Γ$ intervals, i.e. $0 \leq Γ\lesssim 0.5$ and $0 \leq Γ\lesssim 0.3$ respectively.

description: The maximum overlap method (MOM) provides a simple but powerful approach for performing calculations on excited states by targeting solutions with non-Aufbau occupations from a reference set of molecular orbitals. In this work, the MOM is used to access excited states of H3+ and H3 in strong magnetic fields. The lowest 1A1′, 1E′ and 3E′ states of H3+ in the absence of a field are compared with the corresponding states in strong magnetic fields. The changes in molecular structure in the presence of the field are examined by performing excited state geometry optimisations using the MOM. The 3E′ state is significantly stabilised by the field, becoming the ground state in strong fields with a preferred orientation perpendicular to the applied field. Its potential energy surface evolves from being repulsive to bound, with an equilateral equilibrium geometry. In contrast, the 1A1′ state is destabilised and its structure distorts to an isosceles form with the longest H−H bond parallel to the applied field. Comparisons are made with the 4A2′ state of H3, which also becomes bound with an equilateral geometry at high fields. The structures of the high-spin ground states are rationalised by orbital correlation diagrams constructed using constrained geometry optimisations.
Metamorphism, structural evolution and experimental petrology of Lambert Glacier granulites, Antarctica
Creators: name: Nichols, GT
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The preserved peak and post-peak metamorphic evolution culminating around 1000 Ma ago, which affected granulite-facies rocks from adjacent East Antarctic regions, the Reinbolt Hills and the Prince Charles Mountains, is described and quantified here for the first time. The derived pressure-temperature paths from these regions display a continuum in both the maximum preserved conditions and in the gradients of their trajectories, passing from higher pressures (=8 kbar) along the eastern margin of the Lambert Glacier, to low pressures (=4.5 kbar)in the north-west Prince Charles Mountains. The maximum preserved temperatures along the east Lambert Glacier (=700C) differ by a maximum of 250C from those in the west (=450C). This retrograde temperature differential is best explained by warning deformation promoting re-equilibration during retrogression in the Prince Charles Mountains.

description: We discuss the possibility that the X(3872) can be a hadronic DD* bound state in the framework of a potential model. The potential is generated by the exchange of pseudoscalar, scalar and vector mesons resulting from the Lagrangian of heavy hadron chiral perturbation theory. The hadronic bound state configuration contains charged and neutral DD* components, while orbital S- and D-waves are included. Isospin symmetry breaking effects are fully taken into account. We show that binding in the DD* system with J(PC)=1(++) already exists for a reasonable value of the meson-exchange regularization parameter of Lambda around 1.2 GeV. We also explore the possibility of hadronic BB* bound states and show that binding can be achieved in the isoscalar limit for J(PC)=1(++) or 1(+-).

Living and fossil calcareous nannoplankton from the Australian sector of the Southern Ocean: Implications for Paleoceanography
Creators: name: Findlay, CS
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This study documents the distribution of calcareous nannoplankton in the waters and surface sediments of the Australian Sector of the Southern Ocean, and applies the information to core samples from the region to infer past changes in the ocean between 41 os and 64¬¨‚àûS. The preservation of calcite plates produced by these phytoplankton are preserved in pelagic sediments and are useful in paleoceanography. Water column samples show that calcareous nannoplankton can be separated into five distinct assemblages associated with properties of the water mass, i.e., temperature, salinity, light and nutrients. In general the abundance and diversity of nannoplankton decrease poleward from subtropical to polar waters. The surface sediments show an abundance and diversity of calcareous nannoplankton different from living assemblages in the water column. Surface sediments are dominated by a single assemblage including C. pelagicus, a species not found in water column samples. The absence of C. pelagicus suggests a1recent extinction in the Southern Ocean. Of 45 surface sediment s~mples, only eight were identified as younger than 73 ka BP based on currently recognised biostratigraphy, indicating erosion and disturbance of sediments in the region. Preferential preservation of larger, more robust species of nannoplankton in the surface sediments suggests that chemical dissolution of calcite is significant. Calcareous nannoplankton biost~atigraphy from a 5.1-metre core (GC07; 45¬¨‚àûS; 146¬¨‚àûE; 3307m water depth), coupled with 14C dates, oxygen isotope ratios and �C03 data show that the core spans the interval of about 129 ky (from the beginning of the last interglacial) to Late Holocene. Changes in fossil assemblages with time are related to glacial and interglacial intervals, suggesting that the nannoplankton are useful as paleoclimatic indicators. A change from dominance by Gephyrocapsa muellerae to dominance by Emiliania huxleyi occurred at about 11 ka BP, suggesting that the commonly used date for this reversal (73 ka BP) is not applicable for the Sub-Antarctic. The presence of Miocene and Pliocene species in the core samples indicates that reworking of sediments is commori in the region.

description: The rise of nucleon UHECR above GZK astronomy made by protons is puzzled by three main mysteries: an unexpected nearby Virgo UHECR suppression, a rich crowded clustering frozen vertically (north-south) along Cen A, a composition suggesting nuclei and not nucleons. The UHECR map, initially consistent with GZK volumes, to day seem to be not much correlated with expected Super Galactic Plane. Moreover slant depth data of UHECR from AUGER airshower shape do not favor the proton but points to a nuclei, while HIRES, on the contrary favors mostly nucleons. We tried to solve the contradictions assuming UHECR as light nuclei (mostly He) spread by planar galactic fields, randomly at vertical axis. The He fragility and its mass and charge explains the Virgo absence (due to opacity above few Mpc) and the Cen A spread clustering (a quarter of the whole sample). However more events and rare doublets and clustering elsewhere are waiting for an answer. Here we foresee hint of new UHECR component: galactic ones. Moreover a careful updated views of UHECR sky over different (Radio,IR,Optics, X,gamma, TeV) background are also favoring forgotten revolutionary Z-shower model. Both Z-Shower, proton GZK and Lightest nuclei UHECR models have dramatic influence on expected UHE neutrino Astronomy: to be soon revealed by UHE tau neutrino induced air-showers in different ways.

REACH Story of Change: Redefining the connections between WASH and gender - measuring women's empowerment in WASH to support policy and practice
Creators: name: REACH
Publisher: name: University of Oxford
Year: 2024

description: Women and girls are disproportionately impacted by water insecurity as they are burdened with primary responsibility for water collection and management, which produces a number of health risks and limits time for other activities. Gender transformative interventions, which challenge existing gender norms and power dynamics in WASH, have greater potential to address gendered inequalities than conventional approaches, and may contribute to more sustainable WASH services. There are limited efforts to measure the gender impacts of WASH interventions, and particularly gender transformative outcomes, leading to gaps in understanding of what works or doesn’t work.

This Story of Change presents the development of the Empowerment in WASH Index (EWI), a novel survey-based tool to measure agency, voice and empowerment in a WASH context. The EWI has been used in six countries to assess and evaluate women’s empowerment, showing its potential to inform policy and practice in the WASH sector by providing more robust evidence on how to integrate gender into intervention design, monitoring and evaluation, and has been used in the REACH-WISER research.

For further details please visit the EWI resource centre at washequity.org, which includes implementation information for interested users, including the EWI survey, implementation guides, statistical codes and calculation guides.

description: The needs of mobile communication users increase from year to year, as there are occurring more and more applications using mobile networks. On the one side the demand for high data rates increases, while on the other side reliable low-latency connections are gaining interest, especially in public transport and in the car industry, e. g. autonomous driving. To provide these demands the capacity of future beyond 5th generation (5G) networks has to increase. This is done by using higher carrier frequencies in the range of 3-300 GHz, making use of a lot of unoccupied bandwidth. As this comes with the drawback of higher path loss and worse channel conditions the coverage of beyond 5G networks needs to improve. A possible way to do this is the deployment of distributed antenna systems (DAS). These systems make use of spatially distributed antennas, which are connected with a physical low-latency link to a central unit (CU). This CU is responsible for the coordination of the antennas and does all the signal processing. This thesis analyses DASs regarding various topics. The thesis starts with the development of a single-user DAS and the used hybrid beamforming is investigated. This includes user grouping based on channel characteristics with a threshold test and a specific grouping algorithm, used for the beamforming. The first part ends with a comparison of a DAS and a macro cell. In the second part, the system model is extended to a multi-user system and the following topics are analyzed. First, the variation of general parameters like the number of antenna array elements and radio frequency (RF) chainsare analyzed. After that, a realistic per RF chain power constraint is investigated. Then channel estimation errors are introduced and compared to a codebook-based beamforming strategy and the needed number of feedback bits. Thereafter scheduling aspects are covered. The thesis ends with a comparison of a multi-user DAS to small cells. All mentioned aspects were implemented and simulated with the Vienna 5G System Level Simulator.

description: Creative Informatics is a research and development programme based in Edinburgh, which aims to bring the city’s world-class creative industries and tech sector together. We are a collaboration between University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh Napier University, Creative Edinburgh and CodeBase. We run many events, from meetups and networking, to drop-in sessions and workshops to support applications and funding of various programmes. We don’t do any specific teaching, however many of our sessions are intended to be informative and enable peer collaboration and knowledge exchange. In light of the Covid-19 pandemic, we have been exploring how to move many of these events online allowing people to join remotely. This guide is initially a way for us to share and think through how to run different kinds of events well, but we’re happy to share this as we know there will be many other projects and organisations facing similar issues. The guide is written in an informal, and practical style: this reflects its many authors, and that it was primarily developed through some focused team meetings to gather experiences, feedback and best practice. For the moment we have been running most meetings and events through Zoom and MS Teams. However, this guide is focused on the practice of how we could run and host online events, rather than the merits of different platforms. This is an evolving, working document, and one we will be updating based on our experiences. We would welcome further suggestions and further input. We should also note that most of this guide was put together in April and May 2020, and so initially this reflects tools and understanding at that time. The first sections address general principles and good practice to consider in running events. The following sections reflect ideas about how to run specific kinds of sessions with audiences that imply different levels of participation, mobility and engagement.

description: Production and subsequent reactions of singlet oxygen are a major problem for the safe storage and transportation of foodstuffs. The reactions of singlet oxygen with cholesterol, a molecule commonly found in cells in vivo and also widely found in foodstuffs, are well known experimentally, with the products of these reactions commonly observed. However, a detailed understanding of the reaction mechanisms and transition states and intermediates involved are less well understood. In the current study, we have employed density functional theory to investigate the nature of the reaction pathways of singlet oxygenand cholesterol, determining the transition states and free energies of reaction. We have identified epoxide-like intermediates in the formation of 5-hydroperoxycholesterol and S-6-hydroperoxycholesterol which may be involved in the formation of 5,6-epoxide derivatives of cholesterol, which are an indicator of liver function. These results have given more detailed insight into the reaction of singlet oxygen with cholesterol.

Spatial and temporal variation in declining eastern quoll (Dasyurus viverrinus) populations in Tasmania
Creators: name: Fancourt, B
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The Australian fauna has endured numerous extinctions and declines in recent history. In particular, Australian mammals have experienced disproportionately more extinctions than their overseas counterparts, with many other species now only persisting on offshore islands after disappearing from their former mainland habitats. Once widespread throughout south-eastern Australia, the eastern quoll (Dasyurus viverrinus) is now considered extinct on the mainland, with the last confirmed sighting in Sydney in 1 963 . By contrast, eastern quoll populations in Tasmania were, until recently, presumed to be relatively stable and secure. However, spotlighting survey results suggest that the species may now be undergoing rapid and continuing decline. The aim of the current study was to further investigate this suspected decline, by measuring long-term changes in eastern quoll populations at a number of sites across Tasmania, and identifying factors that could have contributed to any observed population changes. Eastern quoll populations were surveyed using live capture and release at three study sites, with three replicate surveys performed at two-monthly intervals at each site. Results from the present study were compared with historical data from previous studies at these sites to gauge the extent of any local population changes. Significant reductions of >60% were observed in the number of quolls trapped at both Cradoc and Cradle Mountain, with no eastern quolls observed during any surveys at the Buckland study site. These declines appear to meet the criteria for listing the species as endangered under the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act 1995 and the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. A range of morphometric data and biological samples was collected from captured eastern quolls to assist in identifying potential causes of decline. Population structure, body condition, reproductive output and the health and disease status of captured quolls were compared across sites and between years. Several significant trends were observed in areas such as the development and timing of key reproductive stages, changes in population demographics and shifts in coat-colour ratios. From the findings of this study, critical information gaps were identified and several hypotheses were formulated to guide the management of key threats, halt further reductions, and ideally reverse the recent declines in eastern quolls.

Due to the presence of cycles, the model is a generalization of the known spanning tree model which belongs to the class of logarithmic theories with central charge $c=-2$. We show that in the scaling limit the universal part of the partition function for closed boundary conditions at both edges of the cylinder coincides with the character of symplectic fermions with periodic boundary conditions and for open boundary at one edge and closed at the other coincides with the character of symplectic fermions with antiperiodic boundary conditions.

Canadian life insurance trends and marketing implications
Creators: name: Rollins, Victor John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The Canadian life insurance industry has been undergoing constant market and product changes since 1950. This study is meant to identify, analyze, and document those economic and social factors that have influenced the growth and decline in sales of ordinary; group and industrial life insurance. The method by which each of these products is marketed is also examined. Much of the information used was obtained through a series of comprehensive interviews with the personnel of a number of life insurance companies. Many factors have been isolated as having a significant impact on the sales of the various forms of life insurance. Many of these factors were identified principally from current literature in the particular field and tested by means of a correlation and regression analysis. The study found that sales of ordinary life insurance in force has declined from 73.82 percent in 1950 to 52.79 percent in 1969. Applying net new purchases as the unit of measurement it was found that ordinary life sales have decreased from 74.76 percent in 1950 to 60.16 percent in 1969. Net new premium was decided upon as the most relevant unit of measurement for this study. Net new premium income for ordinary life increased from 80.34 percent in 1950 to 81.85 percent in 1969. It was also found that marriages and the number of full time life insurance agents have had a significant impact on ordinary life sales over the past 20 years. Industrial life sales in force declined from 9.76 percent in 1950 to 0.60 percent in 1969. Net new purchases of industrial life declined from 8.94 percent in 1950 to 0.045 percent in 1969. It was found that net new premium income dropped from 13.46 percent of the total premium income to 0.01 percent in 1969. The decline has been a reflection of the growth in group life policies, and the increased affluence of the blue collar worker who can now afford ordinary life policies. Group life insurance sales have grown at an astonishing rate. In 1950 group life insurance in force accounted for 16.40 percent of the total life insurance in force. By 1969 the figure had climbed to 47.10 percent of the total amount in force. Net new purchases of group life policies over the same period jumped from 13.50 percent in 1950 while 18.12 percent of the total premium income in 1969. It was also found that gross national product, total employment, and the number of federally registered life insurance companies have each had a significant impact on the aggregates sales of group life over the past 20 years.

Confronting Flavour Symmetries and extended Scalar Sectors with Lepton Flavour Violation Bounds

description: We discuss the tension between discrete flavour symmetries and extended scalar sectors arising from lepton flavour violation experiments. The key point is that extended scalar sectors will generically lead to flavour changing neutral currents, which are strongly constrained by experiments. Due to the large parameter space in the scalar sector such models will, however, usually have no big problems with existing and future bounds (even though the models might be constrained). This changes considerably once a flavour symmetry is imposed in addition: Due to the symmetry, additional relations between the different couplings arise and cancellations become impossible in certain cases. The experimental bounds will then constrain the model severely and can easily exclude it. We consider two examples which show how these considerations are realized. The same logic should apply to a much wider class of models.

Enhancing internal control and risk management in the Accounting Information System-Thai SMEs
Creators: name: Sawatsuk, B
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This study examines the adoption of information technology within the accounting information system (AIS) of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Thailand focusing on the AIS, internal control and risk. A comparison made is between SMEs which have moved into the market for alternative investment (MAl) referred to as Initial Public Offerings (IPO) and those which have not. In a triangulated approach both mail survey and interview techniques were used to increase the richness of the data. Sampling was undertaken in the Bangkok region as IPO SMEs are located within this region. The results indicated that in non-IPO firms fifty-two percentage operate a computerized accounting information system as compared to seventy-seven percentage of IPO SMEs, forty-two percent of non-IPO operated a mixed system as compared to twenty-three percent of IPO firms. Interestingly only six percentage of non-IPO firms still operate manual systems. Both IPO and non-IPO SMEs indicated that they believed the use of information technology improved the firm's ability to capture and record business operations and business events, to assist in providing timely information, and to provide better information in terms of relevance and reliability to assist management in reducing costs and improving productivity as well as reducing risk. The functions associated with the AIS of collecting and storing transaction data, and processing data into information that is useful for decision making and providing adequate controls to safeguard the organisation's assets are identified to be important. There is recognition that the application of technology within the accounting information system is able to increase the efficiency of internal business operation as well as ensuring the adequacy of financial reporting.
Classical Particle in a Complex Elliptic Potential

description: This paper reports a numerical study of complex classical trajectories of a particle in an elliptic potential. This study of doubly-periodic potentials is a natural sequel to earlier work on complex classical trajectories in trigonometric potentials. For elliptic potentials there is a two-dimensional array of identical cells in the complex plane, and each cell contains a pair of turning points. The particle can travel both horizontally and vertically as it visits these cells, and sometimes the particle is captured temporarily by a pair of turning points. If the particle's energy lies in a conduction band, the particle drifts through the lattice of cells and is never captured by the same pair of turning points more than once. However, if the energy of the particle is not in a conduction band, the particle can return to previously visited cells.

description: Entanglement dynamics for a couple of two-level atoms interacting with independent structured reservoirs is studied using a non-perturbative approach. It is shown that the revival of atom entanglement is not necessarily accompanied by the sudden death of reservoir entanglement, and vice versa. In fact, atom entanglement can revive before, simultaneously or even after the disentanglement of reservoirs. Using a novel method based on the population analysis for the excited atomic state, we present the quantitative criteria for the revival and death phenomena. For giving a more physically intuitive insight, the quasimode Hamiltonian method is applied. Our quantitative analysis is helpful for the practical engineering of entanglement.

Functional learning through kernels

description: This paper reviews the functional aspects of statistical learning theory. The main point under consideration is the nature of the hypothesis set when no prior information is available but data. Within this framework we first discuss about the hypothesis set: it is a vectorial space, it is a set of pointwise defined functions, and the evaluation functional on this set is a continuous mapping. Based on these principles an original theory is developed generalizing the notion of reproduction kernel Hilbert space to non hilbertian sets. Then it is shown that the hypothesis set of any learning machine has to be a generalized reproducing set. Therefore, thanks to a general "representer theorem", the solution of the learning problem is still a linear combination of a kernel. Furthermore, a way to design these kernels is given. To illustrate this framework some examples of such reproducing sets and kernels are given.

description: The gravitational waves emitted by neutron stars carry unique information about their structure and composition. Direct detection of these gravitational waves, however, is a formidable technical challenge. In a recent study we quantified the hurdles facing searches for gravitational waves from the known accreting neutron stars, given the level of uncertainty that exists regarding spin and orbital parameters. In this paper we reflect on our conclusions, and issue an open challenge to the theoretical community to consider how searches should be designed to yield the most astrophysically interesting upper limits. With this in mind we examine some more optimistic emission scenarios involving spin-down, and show that there are technically feasible searches, particularly for the accreting millisecond pulsars, that might place meaningful constraints on torque mechanisms. We finish with a brief discussion of prospects for indirect detection.

description: We propose new families of graphs which exhibit quantum perfect state transfer. Our constructions are based on the join operator on graphs, its circulant generalizations, and the Cartesian product of graphs. We build upon the results of Bašić et al \cite{bps09,bp09} and construct new integral circulants and regular graphs with perfect state transfer. More specifically, we show that the integral circulant $\textsc{ICG}_{n}(\{2,n/2^{b}\} \cup Q)$ has perfect state transfer, where $b \in \{1,2\}$, $n$ is a multiple of 16 and $Q$ is a subset of the odd divisors of $n$. Using the standard join of graphs, we also show a family of double-cone graphs which are non-periodic but exhibit perfect state transfer. This class of graphs is constructed by simply taking the join of the empty two-vertex graph with a specific class of regular graphs. This answers a question posed by Godsil \cite{godsil08}.
