Population Censuses: Latin American and the Caribbean
Creators: name: Fuller, Sue
Publisher: name: Benson Latin American Collection
Year: 1995
Subjects: Latin America--Population
Census
Caribbean

description: Census publications from Latin American countries are often difficult to locate, to acquire, and to use. The year chosen for a census varies widely from country to country, and there is often a time lag of several years between the time that a census is taken and the time that the data is published. In some cases, preliminary data is issued first, followed by final official results. The following list reflects the Benson Latin American Collection holdings of the most recent national population census materials, whether preliminary or final, available in this library as of March 1995. Unless otherwise noted, the library holds the complete set for each listing. New titles and additional volumes arrive on a continuing basis; to find them, consult the online catalog using a subject search on the name of the country, followed by the word "census", subdivided by the year in which the census was taken, e.g. MEXICO-CENSUS, 1990.
New Limits on an Intermediate Mass Black Hole in Omega Centauri: II. Dynamical Models

description: We present a detailed dynamical analysis of the projected density and kinematical data available for the globular cluster Omega Cen. We solve the spherical anisotropic Jeans equation to predict the projected profiles of the RMS velocity in each of the three orthogonal coordinate directions (line of sight, proper motion radial, and proper motion tangential). We fit the models to new HST star count and proper motion data near the cluster center presented in Paper I, combined with existing ground-based measurements. We also derive and model the Gauss-Hermite moments of the observed proper motion distributions. The projected density profile is consistent with being flat near the center, with an upper limit gamma=0.07 on the central logarithmic slope. The RMS proper motion profile is also consistent with being flat near the center, and there are no unusually fast-moving stars. The models provide a good fit and yield a 1-sigma upper limit MBH < 1.2E4 solar masses on the mass of a possible intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH). The inferred upper limit corresponds to MBH/Mtot < 0.43%. We combine this with results for other clusters and discuss the implications for globular cluster IMBH demographics. Tighter limits will be needed to rule out or establish whether globular clusters follow the same black hole demographics correlations as galaxies. The arguments put forward by Noyola et al. (2008) to suspect an IMBH in Omega Cen are not confirmed by our study; the IMBH mass they suggested is firmly ruled out.

Epidemiology of jockey falls in the thoroughbred racing industry in Australia, 2002/03 to 2008/09 racing seasons
Creators: name: Hitchens, PL
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Riding thoroughbred racehorses is a hazardous occupation. This thesis aimed to describe rates of occurrence of falls, injuries and fatalities to licensed jockeys in thoroughbred horse racing, and investigate risk factors associated with falls by jockeys participating in flat races (those without hurdles or fences) and jumps races (those in which the horse is required to jump hurdles or fences) conducted in Australia. Data on race-day falls were extracted from stipendiary stewards' reports provided by the Principal Racing Authority of each state and territory. Incidence rate ratios were estimated using Poisson regression, and hazard ratios were estimated using Cox proportional hazards regression. Falls occurred at a rate of 0.42 per 100 rides in flat racing and 5.26 per 100 rides in jumps racing. Fall and injury rates were comparable with those found in the United Kingdom, Ireland, France and Japan. In flat racing, the more severe injuries occurred during the race, but most falls occurred pre- or post-race. In jumps racing, most falls occurred at a jump, with 9.7% of falls resulting in a significant injury. Factors associated with falls in flat racing during race seasons 2002-03 through 2005-06 were female sex of jockey, being an apprentice jockey, being an amateur jockey, drier tracks, younger horse age, shorter race distance, smaller field size and lower race grade. Important predictors of falls in hurdle racing during race seasons 2002-03 through 2008-09 were higher club level, greater field size, greater prize money, provisionally licensed jockeys and older jockeys. Important predictors of falls for steeplechase racing were type of jump, provisionally licensed jockeys, jockeys having had previous rides at a meeting, and greater field size. For early-career jockeys who commenced their apprenticeship during race seasons 2002-03 through 2008-09, fall rates in flat racing were strongly and inversely associated with jockey experience and exacerbated by factors associated with lack of proficiency or inexperience of the horse. In a pilot study, data were obtained on physiological attributes of jockeys and track-work riders in Tasmania. Important factors found to be associated with falls were lower aerobic and anaerobic fitness, greater muscular strength and power, and riding with the full foot in the stirrup irons compared to riding on the ball of the foot. In conclusion, key factors associated with falls by and injuries to thoroughbred racing jockeys are horse and rider inexperience, which play a mutually reinforcing role, and competitive racing. The physiological attributes of jockeys may be important also. These findings provide the beginnings of an evidence base for formulating strategies to improve occupational health and safety standards in the Australian thoroughbred racing industry.

description: We present a two-step exact remote state preparation protocol of an arbitrary qubit with the aid of a three-particle Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state. Generalization of this protocol for higher-dimensional Hilbert space systems among three parties is also given. We show that only single-particle von Neumann measurement, local operation and classical communication are necessary. Moreover, since the overall information of the quantum state can be divided into two different parts, which may be at different locations, this protocol may be useful in the quantum information field.

Year: 1993
Subjects: Latin America--Brazil
Poverty--Brazil
Children--Brazil

description: A major Brazilian social problem--marginalized children--has been the focus of international attention in recent years. Media stories have focused on the homeless and abandoned children and teenagers who live on the streets in cities throughout the country, often engaging in theft, assault, or prostitution, and sometimes meeting violent deaths at the hands of the police or vigilantes. Millions of other children, living in families in conditions of extreme poverty, can also be termed marginalized, and the distinction between the two groups is not always clear. Although this bibliography emphasizes street children, many of the publications apply to all who are marginalized in the broader sense. The following selected materials are available at the Benson Latin American Collection.

We apply this inequality to obtain an upper bound of the number of algebraic curves of $p-$rank zero in a semi-stable family over characteristic $p$ with nontrivial Kodaira-Spencer map in terms of the genus of a general closed fiber, the genus of the base curve and the number of singular fibres. An extension of the above results to smooth families of Abelian varieties over $k$ with $W_2$-lifting assumption is also included.

description: We present evidence for very high gas fractions and extended molecular gas reservoirs in normal, near-infrared selected (BzK) galaxies at z~1.5, based on multi-configuration CO[2-1] observations obtained at the IRAM PdBI. Six of the six galaxies observed were securely detected. High resolution observations resolve the CO emission in four of them, implying sizes of order of 6-11 kpc and suggesting the presence of rotation. The UV morphologies are consistent with clumpy, unstable disks, and the UV sizes are consistent with the CO sizes. The star formation efficiencies are homogeneously low and similar to local spirals - the resulting gas depletion times are ~0.5 Gyr, much higher than what is seen in high-z submm galaxies and quasars. The CO luminosities can be predicted to within 0.15 dex from the star formation rates and stellar masses, implying a tight correlation of the gas mass with these quantities. We use dynamical models of clumpy disk galaxies to derive dynamical masses. These models are able to reproduce the peculiar spectral line shapes of the CO emission. After accounting for the stellar and dark matter masses we derive gas masses of 0.4-1.2x10^11 Msun. The conversion factor is very high: alpha_CO=3.6+-0.8, consistent with the Galaxy but four times higher than that of local ultra-luminous IR galaxies. The gas accounts for an impressive 50-65% of the baryons within the galaxies' half light radii. We are witnessing truly gas-dominated galaxies at z~1.5, a finding that explains the high specific SFRs observed for z>1 galaxies. The BzK galaxies can be viewed as scaled-up versions of local disk galaxies, with low efficiency star formation taking place inside extended, low excitation gas disks. They are markedly different than local ULIRGs and high-z submm galaxies, which have more excited and compact gas.

description: In this paper we address the issue of the Gribov copies in SU(N), N>2, Euclidean Yang-Mills theories quantized in the maximal Abelian gauge. A few properties of the Gribov region in this gauge are established. Similarly to the case of SU(2), the Gribov region turns out to be convex, bounded along the off-diagonals directions in field space, and unbounded along the diagonal ones. The implementation of the restriction to the Gribov region in the functional integral is discussed through the introduction of the horizon function, whose construction will be outlined in detail. The influence of this restriction on the behavior of the gluon and ghost propagators of the theory is also investigated together with a set of dimension two condensates.

description: We study the role played in leptogenesis by the equilibration of lepton flavors, as could be induced in supersymmetric models by off diagonal soft breaking masses for the scalar lepton doublets $\tilde m_{αβ}$, or more generically by new sources of lepton flavor violation. We show that if $\tilde m_{αβ}\gsim 1 $GeV and leptogenesis occurs below $\sim 100 $TeV, dynamical flavor effects are irrelevant and leptogenesis is correctly described by a one-flavor Boltzmann equation. We also discuss spectator effects in low scale leptogenesis by taking into account various chemical equilibrium conditions enforced by the reactions that are in thermal equilibrium. We write down the Boltzmann equation for low scale supersymmetric leptogenesis that includes flavor and spectator effects in the presence of lepton flavor equilibration, and we show how it reduces to a particularly simple form.

Majorana fermions and CP-invariance of chiral gauge theories on the lattice
Creators: name: Igarashi, Yuji

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)

description: The construction of massless Majorana fermions with chiral Yukawa couplings on the lattice is considered. We find topological obstructions tightly linked to those underlying the Nielsen-Ninomiya no-go theorem. In contradistinction to chiral fermions the obstructions originate only from the combination of the Dirac action and the Yukawa term. These findings are used to construct a chirally invariant lattice action. We also show that the path integral of this theory is given by the Pfaffian of the corresponding Dirac operator. As an application of the approach set-up here we construct a CP-invariant lattice action of a chiral gauge theory, based on a lattice adaptation of charge conjugation and parity transformation in the continuum.

Revisiting the Global Electroweak Fit of the Standard Model and Beyond with Gfitter

description: The global fit of the Standard Model to electroweak precision data, routinely performed by the LEP electroweak working group and others, demonstrated impressively the predictive power of electroweak unification and quantum loop corrections. We have revisited this fit in view of (i) the development of the new generic fitting package Gfitter, (ii) the insertion of constraints from direct Higgs searches at LEP and the Tevatron, and (iii) a more thorough statistical interpretation of the results. Gfitter is a modular fitting toolkit, which features predictive theoretical models as independent plugins, and a statistical analysis of the fit results using toy Monte Carlo techniques. The state-of-the-art electroweak Standard Model is fully implemented, as well as generic extensions to it. This paper introduces the Gfitter project, and presents state-of-the-art results for the global electroweak fit in the Standard Model, and for a model with an extended Higgs sector (2HDM). Numerical and graphical results for fits with and without including the constraints from the direct Higgs searches at LEP and Tevatron are given. Perspectives for future colliders are analysed and discussed. Including the direct Higgs searches, we find M_H=(116.4 +18.3 -1.3) GeV, and the 2sigma and 3sigma allowed regions [114,145] GeV and [[113,168] and [180,225]] GeV, respectively. For the strong coupling strength at fourth perturbative order we obtain alpha_S(M_Z)=0.1193 +0.0028 -0.0027(exp) +- 0.0001(theo). Finally, for the mass of the top quark, excluding the direct measurements, we find m_t=(178.2 +9.8 -4.2) GeV. In the 2HDM we exclude a charged-Higgs mass below 240 GeV at 95% confidence level. This limit increases towards larger tan(beta), where e.g., M_H+-<780 GeV is excluded for tan(beta)=70.

description: We investigate the relationship between brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) and their host clusters using a sample of nearby galaxy clusters from the Representative XMM Cluster Structure Survey (REXCESS). The sample was imaged with the Southern Observatory for Astrophysical Research (SOAR) in R band to investigate the mass of the old stellar population. Using a metric radius of 12h^-1 kpc, we found that the BCG luminosity depends weakly on overall cluster mass as L_BCG \propto M_cl^0.18+-0.07, consistent with previous work. We found that 90% of the BCGs are located within 0.035 r_500 of the peak of the X-ray emission, including all of the cool core (CC) clusters. We also found an unexpected correlation between the BCG metric luminosity and the core gas density for non-cool core (non-CC) clusters, following a power law of n_e \propto L_BCG^2.7+-0.4 (where n_e is measured at 0.008 r_500). The correlation is not easily explained by star formation (which is weak in non-CC clusters) or overall cluster mass (which is not correlated with core gas density). The trend persists even when the BCG is not located near the peak of the X-ray emission, so proximity is not necessary. We suggest that, for non-CC clusters, this correlation implies that the same process that sets the central entropy of the cluster gas also determines the central stellar density of the BCG, and that this underlying physical process is likely to be mergers.

Problems with Nature - Sculptural Installation and the Culture/Nature Paradox.
Creators: name: Bonde, Ian
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This research project investigates visual metaphors for aspects of the nature/ culture paradox. Modern human beings formalise nature, natural elements and natural processes by quantifying and qualifying the environment to better define themselves. A desire to comprehend and gain control over nature is expressed through the imposition of artificial systems and mathematical descriptions. However, the forces of entropy and decay are ever present. Despite attempts to suppress these physical processes, humans are necessarily bound to a common material existence. In response, attainment of a spiritual dimension is sought through cultural expression. The project explores how the nature/ culture paradox is manifested in the phenomenon of landscape design, especially formal gardens of 18th century Europe, including features such as Platonic forms, labyrinths, mazes and meanders. Particular attention is given to the work of Batty Langley. The investigation is located within an international field of artists concerned with the culture/ nature question. The enquiry considers artists who create visual representations of symbolic pathways, such as Jorgen Thordrup and Marianne Ewaldt. Land and environment art is examined with regard to concepts of order, disorder, entropy and stasis, emphasizing those artists such as Robert Smithson, Nancy Holt and Jurg Altherr, who contrast artificial constructions with natural settings. It also considers the appropriation of nature in a search for the sublime through the sculptural installations of Anja Gallaccio. Examination of formal garden features has informed new hybrid motifs which are developed in the work for this project. The application of these designs to the sculptural and installation mediums has involved innovative usage of materials and techniques. The development of a personal symbology to present metaphors for order and chaos/ entropy and stasis, has produced new juxtapositions of man made forms and natural elements. Exploration of the viewer's engagement with space and physical ambience, including smells, has also been an important element of the work. In addition, new methods have been developed to visualise concepts through computer generated virtual drawings and, to present the preparation and exhibition of sculptural installations through digital photography. Finally, the project considers the spiritual dimension within human culture, employing a number of universal symbols in new ways to create works, which echo both eastern and western sensibilities, for example, metaphorical methods for attainment and links between Buddhist and alchemical symbolism.

description: We investigate the linear cosmological perturbations in Hořava-Lifshitz gravity with a scalar field. Starting from the most general expressions of the metric perturbations as well as that of a canonical scalar field, we decompose the scalar, vector and tensor parts of the perturbed action. By reducing the Hamiltonian, we find that there are two independent degrees of freedom for the tensor perturbations while none for the vector perturbations. For the scalar perturbations, the remaining number of degrees of freedom, which are all gauge invariant, depends on whether the projectable condition is applied or not. For both cases, we lose the time reparametrization symmetry of any kind.

Convict labour and colonial society in the Campbell Town Police District : 1820-1839
Creators: name: Dillon, MC
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis examines the lives of the convict workers who constituted the primary work force in the Campbell Town district in Van Diemen's Land during the assignment period but focuses particularly on the 1830s. Over 1000 assigned men and women, ganged government convicts, convict police and ticket holders became the district's unfree working class. Although studies have been completed on each of the groups separately, especially female convicts and ganged convicts, no holistic studies have investigated how convicts were integrated into a district as its multi-layered working class and the ways this affected their working and leisure lives and their interactions with their employers. Research has paid particular attention to the Lower Court records for 1835 to extract both quantitative data about the management of different groups of convicts, and also to provide more specific narratives about aspects of their work and leisure. Local administrative records from the Convict Department, the Colonial Secretary's Office and the Engineers Department as well as the diaries and letters of colonists, accounts of travelers, almanacs and newspapers have also been used. Some key results proposed in the thesis include the following: Local magistrates had more varied and liberal middle class backgrounds than their contemporaries in New South Wales. They willingly became the governor's agents of control over the convict work force, accepting his political authority, and remained primarily interested in increasing their wealth. The duties undertaken by convict police were more complex than the literature acknowledges and the claims of corruption and inefficiency made against police by the contemporary press are challenged. Ganged men maintained interactions with the general community outside their gangs, including complex trading and commercial transactions.

description: This map incorporates information about and links to Indigenous radio stations. It is an ongoing and collaborative work in progress as new information is gathered from stations and eventually seeks to map Indigenous radio stations and standalone shows across the world.

For this map, Indigenous stations are defined as tribally owned, managed and/or staffed by tribal members, producing programming by and for their local communities. Indigenous programming enables community self-determination through locally produced, tribally-specific shows featuring community updates, diverse tribal and other music genres, Indigenous first languages and seasonally-specific content.

description: Modern computer processors are nowadays approaching limits due to their quantum limitations. The basic principle of modern electronics is measuring a small electrical charge of electrons passing through electronic circuits. An alternative approach based on novel materials could be the solution, which instead relies on the fundamental quantum- mechanical property – spin. The fundamental requirements that apply to a device based on quantum spin qubits include the ability to scale a quantum system, simplicity of creating and reading of the quantum state, long coherence time, and universal set of quantum gates. Concerning nuclear and electron spin states are of particular interest in the field of solid-state qubits manipulating where individual charge and spin carriers can be strongly decoupled from their environment so that the processes destroying the quantum coherence in bulk are largely suppressed. This work is concentrated on the nuclear spin system in GaAs and contributes to the research field of semiconductor nuclear spin physics. In this work, the nuclear spin dynamics of a donor-bound electron was studied in GaAs with n and p doping via optical spectroscopy technique. Since the optical operation of a mesoscopic nuclear spin ensemble is a complex and nonlinear process that involves transferring the angular momentum and energy between nuclear spins and optically-oriented localized electrons, the fundamental optical methods and initial experimental ideas that were formed a structure of this dissertation trace back to the studies of spin-related phenomena in atomic vapors. The conducted research sheds some more light on the complex interdependent system formed by the electron spin and the ensemble of surrounding nuclear spins in the conventional semiconductor – the bulk GaAs. Special attention was given to the detailed study of the nuclear spin relaxation times under a wide range of controlled physical conditions of the experiments. The developed theoretical models explain the whole set of experimental results. It is assumed that this study is another step towards the understanding of this challenging system that can lead to implementations in future quantum information technologies.
A five-dimensional toy-model for light hadron excitations

description: In the usual holographic approach to QCD, the meson spectrum is generated due to a non-trivial 5-dimensional background. We propose an alternative 5-dimensional scenario in which the spectrum emerges due to coupling to a scalar field whose condensation is supposed to be dual to the formation of gluon condensate and mimics the scale anomaly in QCD. The spectrum of model has finite number of discrete states plus continuum and reveals a Regge-like behavior in the strong coupling regime.

The Goldstino Field in Linear and Nonlinear Realizations of Supersymmetry

description: A Goldstino field in the nonlinear realization of supersymmetry is constructed from an appropriate chiral super-multiplet of the linear theory, in general O'Raifeataigh-like models. The linear theories can thus be reformulated into their nonlinear versions, via the standard procedure. The Goldstino field disappears totally from the original Lagrangian in the process, but reemerges in the Jacobian of the transformation and covariant derivatives. Vertices with Goldstino fields carry at least one space-time derivative, as one would have expected.

Institutional Collaboration, Learning and Context: A Case Study of Tasmanian Information Technology Institutions
Creators: name: Bound, HI
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: With increasing devolution of governance, collaboration has become ever more important as a means for community groups, regions and institutions to meet their needs. Firms also use a variety of collaborative arrangements to meet their need to compete effectively in local and global markets. However, for all the growth in collaborative activity, there are many fraught or failed attempts suggesting a need to better understand the processes of collaboration. This thesis contributes to our understanding of institutional collaboration, focusing on institutional collaborative activity, learning and context. Collaboration is not considered as a stand-alone activity, but as an activity that is a learning process influenced by context.
The metaphysics of connection : discreteness, continuity, and in-discreteness
Creators: name: Wilson, BE
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: An interest in individual, particular things is a normal and indeed necessary part of everyday thought, but for a number of reasons it is problematic when such thinking is formalised into a philosophical system. The feature which attracts about particular things is their discrete nature, which is evident as separateness, distinctiveness and self-containedness. Philosophical systems which have such a view of objects tend to emphasise features which make individuals distinctive entities, and to downplay features which support connection between entities, and similarity across entities. This project seeks to do a number of things which advance the understanding of connection: (1) To characterise the contrasting notions of discreteness and continuity, and to find an alternative to both, named in-discreteness, which enables continuity to be a productive concept; (2) To find within philosophical characterisations of substance some features which contribute to a new understanding of continuity; (3) To identify features in nonphilosophical systems such as ecological psychology and dynamical systems theory which can contribute to an understanding of connection; (4) to assess some philosophical areas of interest which seem to embody in-discrete principles, such as cognitive science and meaning-holism, and (5) to apply all of these connection-friendly concepts to a reworking of process philosophy. The in-discrete reality which emerges is (i) composed of unbounded entities, (ii) dynamic, (iii) evolutionary, in the sense of every entity having a lineage, (iv) ecological, in the sense of being composed of mutually dependent connected entities, (v) indeterminate, in the sense of being immune to unique characterisation, and (vi) creative, in the sense of being unfinished and open.
The flight muscle polymorphism in Cenocorixa bifida
Creators: name: Simpson, James Eric
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Flight muscle polymorphism in Cenocorixa bifida Hung, is considered in several habitats in which it occurs in British Columbia. The differences in the indirect flight musculature and pigmentation of the cuticle between the morphs are described in detail. Observations to date suggest that in the flightless form the indirect flight musculature does not develop beyond the stage noted in the early teneral adult. The flightless adults appeared in the habitats in the latter part of August and became more prevalent in the habitats from that time until late in the fall. Substantial increases in the percentage of the non-flying morph in the habitats appear to be correlated with abrupt decreases in the water temperature in these habitats, but this form is found in some habitats before these decreases occur. Sampling data indicate that the percentage of the flightless morph in the adult population varies considerably from habitat to habitat and from year to year in any one habitat. Evidence is presented which suggests that some of variation results from the duration of oviposition in the habitat the previous spring and the size of the second generation in that season. An ovarian diapause which limits the size of the second generation occurs in females toward the end of July. The onset of this diapause appears to be synchronized with decrease in natural photoperiod during the summer and its' termination the following spring appears to be controlled by water temperature in the habitat. A differential pattern of survival of morphs overwinter appeared. The data suggest that the flightless form may be at an advantage overwintering in habitats of intermediate salinity but is probably selected against in habitats of high and low salinities over winter. Flightless females C. bifida parasitized by the mite Eylais extendens Muller were able to produce mature eggs with chorion whereas no female flying form produced mature eggs while being parasitized by a large nymphal mite. Apparently the flightless female is able to produce mature eggs under conditions of stress where the flying form cannot. The endocrine relationships leading to ovarian diapause and flight muscle polymorphism are discussed and tentative hypotheses for endocrine mechanisms are suggested.
Probing the Galaxy's bars via the Hercules stream

description: It has been suggested that a resonance between a rotating bar and stars in the solar neighbourhood can produce the so called 'Hercules stream'. Recently, a second bar may have been identified in the Galactic centre, the so called 'long bar', which is longer and much flatter than the traditional Galactic bar, and has a similar mass. We looked at the dynamical effects of both bars, separately and together, on orbits of stars integrated backwards from local position and velocities, and a model of the Galactic potential which includes the bars directly. Both bars can produce Hercules like features, and allow us to measure the rotation rate of the bar(s). We measure a pattern speed, for both bars, of 1.87 +/- 0.02 times the local circular frequency. This is on par with previous measurements for the Galactic bar, although we do adopt a slightly different Solar motion. Finally, we identify a new kinematic feature in local velocity space, caused by the long bar, which is tempting to identify with the high velocity 'Arcturus' stream.

Stationarity, soft ergodicity, and entropy in relativistic systems

description: Recent molecular dynamics simulations show that a dilute relativistic gas equilibrates to a Juettner velocity distribution if ensemble velocities are measured simultaneously in the observer frame. The analysis of relativistic Brownian motion processes, on the other hand, implies that stationary one-particle distributions can differ depending on the underlying time-parameterizations. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we demonstrate how this relativistic phenomenon can be understood within a deterministic model system. We show that, depending on the time-parameterization, one can distinguish different types of soft ergodicity on the level of the one-particle distributions. Our analysis further reveals a close connection between time parameters and entropy in special relativity. A combination of different time-parameterizations can potentially be useful in simulations that combine molecular dynamics algorithms with randomized particle creation, annihilation, or decay processes.
