description: Many horse breeds are used for a variety of tasks and studies have shown within breed variations in conformation depending on the task. The Icelandic horse is used for several tasks, e.g. leisure riding, competitions and tour riding. Research about conformation and relationship to subjectively assessed performance (usability) in Icelandic horses used by tourist companies and riding schools (TRh) are lacking. Back condition score has been shown to be associated with weight carrying capacity in the breed. However, the association between back condition score and angle and performance in Icelandic horses participating in a breed evaluation field test (BEFTh) and usability in TRh has not been investigated previously. The aim of the study was to compare body measurements in BEFTh and TRh and examine the relationship with riding ability in BEFTh and usability in TRh. Data of height at withers, back and croup, body condition score (BCS) and back angle were collected in 48 BEFTh (age 8±2 years) and 65 TRh (age 14±5 years). Transversal back angle at the 18th thoracic vertebra was determined using a flexible curve ruler. A questionnaire was used to evaluate the relationship between body measurements and owners’ assessment of usability in TRh. The relationship between back condition score and angle and riding ability was evaluated in BEFTh. Compared with TRh, BEFTh had a greater difference between height at withers and height at back and croup, lower BCS and greater back angle (P<0.05). In TRh, height were positively correlated with usability (P<0.05). Back condition score and angle were not associated with riding ability in BEFTh or usability in TRh (P>0.05). In conclusion, body measurements differs between BEFTh and TRh and further studies are needed to investigate if the same conformation traits are associated with good performance in BEFTh and usability in TRh.

description: In this paper, we construct Euclidean instanton and wormhole solutions in $d=4$, N=2 supergravity theories with hypermultiplets. The analytic continuation of the hypermultiplet action, involving pseudoscalar axions, is discussed using the approach originally developed by Coleman which determines the apparence of boundary terms. In particular, we investigate the conditions obtained by requiring the action to be positive-definite once the boundary terms are taken into account. The case of two hypermultiplets parameterizing the coset $G_{2,2}/SU(2)\times SU(2)$ is studied in detail. Orientifold projections which reduce the supersymmetry to N=1 are also discussed.

description: Non-thermal X-ray emission in compact accretion engines can be interpreted to result from magnetic dissipation in an optically thin magnetized corona above an optically thick accretion disk. If coronal magnetic field originates in the disk and the disk is turbulent, then only magnetic structures large enough for their turbulent shredding time to exceed their buoyant rise time survive the journey to the corona. We use this concept and a physical model to constrain the minimum fraction of magnetic energy above the critical scale for buoyancy as a function of the observed coronal to bolometric emission. Our results suggest that a significant fraction of the magnetic energy in accretion disks resides in large scale fields, which in turn provides circumstantial evidence for significant non-local transport phenomena and the need for large scale magnetic field generation. For the example of Seyfert AGN, for which of order 30 per cent of the bolometric flux is in the X-ray band, we find that more than 20 per cent of the magnetic energy must be of large enough scale to rise and dissipate in the corona.

description: In this paper we investigate a model (based on the idea of the outflow dynamics), in which only conformity and anticonformity can lead to the opinion change. We show that for low level of aniconformity the consensus is still reachable but spontaneous reorientations between two types of consensus ('all say yes' or 'all say now') appear.

description: We investigate the influence of the variations of energy spectrum of non-thermal electrons on the resulting GOES classes of solar flares. Twelve observed flares with various soft to hard X-ray emission ratios were modelled using different non-thermal electron energy distributions. Initial values of the flare physical parameters including geometrical properties were estimated using observations. We found that, for a fixed total energy of non-thermal electrons in a flare, the resulting GOES class of the flare can be changed significantly by varying the spectral index and low energy cut-off of the non-thermal electron distribution. Thus, the GOES class of a flare depends not only on the total non-thermal electrons energy but also on the electron beam parameters. For example, we were able to convert a M2.7 class solar flare into a merely C1.4 class one and a B8.1 class event into a C2.6 class flare. The results of our work also suggest that the level of correlation between the cumulative time integral of HXR and SXR fluxes can depend on the considered HXR energy range.

An ultrastructural study of Peridinium trochoideum with special reference to the theca and its formation
Creators: name: Kalley, John Peter
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Freeze-etching and thin sectioning were used to examine the fine structure of the marine dinoflagellate Peridinium trochoideum (Stein) Lemm. Among the cytoplasmic inclusions described were three typical dinoflagellate organelles: a dinocaryotic nucleus with condensed interphase chromosomes, chloroplasts with thylakoids associated in groups of three, and trichocysts contained in membranous sacs. In addition to the above, dictyosomes, cytoplasmic membrane systems, fibrous bodies and 'segregated bodies' were observed and described. Upon examining the gross morphology of the theca, it was found that thecal age could be determined by the extensiveness of sutures, pits, and blisters which became predominant on the external thecal membranes with age. Characteristically, older cells sometimes had continuous, deeply scored sutures with adjacent 'marginal suture bands' and intercalary bands. Individual thecal plates of mature cells were not completely enclosed within membrane sacs as commonly assumed and some adjacent plates were found to be continuous. Four membrane systems were found to be associated with the thecal plates: the thecal membrane and outer plate membrane systems lay above the plates, the inner plate membrane and plasmalemma lay below. Sutures were formed by infolding of the outer plate membrane between adjacent plates. With the exception of the plasmalemma, the membranes associated with the plates displayed membrane asymmetry. In the mature, thecate,non-dividing cells, densely staining inclusions termed 'pro-thecal bodies' were found to be distributed throughout the cytoplasm. Before ecdysis, each amorphous prothecal body transformed into many vesicles each of which contained fibrous material in an electron transparent matrix. It appeared that the vast number of vesicles so formed may have increased the cell's osmotic pressure enough to initiate ecdysis. At ecdysis, the thecal plates and overlying membranes were lost and the new wall was formed by deposition of material from prothecal bodies at the protoplast surface. The newly formed wall was continuous over the protoplast and no plates existed as such. Pores, however, were present. The sutures, when first formed were shallow and discontinuous.

description: Frustration of magnetic systems which is caused by competing interactions is the driving force of several unusual phenomena such as plateaus and jumps of the magnetization curve as well as of unusual energy spectra with for instance many singlet levels below the first triplet state. The antiferromagnetic cuboctahedron can serve as a paradigmatic example of certain frustrated antiferromagnets. In addition it has the advantage that its complete energy spectrum can be obtained up to individual spin quantum numbers of s=3/2 (16,777,216 states).

The Pr¿ívÖsa¬¿œÄvñgika M¿ívÖdhyamika's dependent arising and a critique of essentialist causal theories
Creators: name: Sangmo, T
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Pr¿ívÖsa¬¿œÄvñgika M¿ívÖdhyamika philosophers claim that any causal theory that is bound up in the notion of essence (svabh¿ívÖva / rang bzhin) cannot offer us any plausible causal explanation of how things come to be what they were in the past, what they are now and what they will become in the future. This is because any notion of essence, they assert, fundamentally contradicts the interdependent nature of the causal process. As an alternative the Pr¿ívÖsa¬¿œÄvñgika M¿ívÖdhyamika proposes the doctrine of prat¿í¬¥tyasamudpad¿ívÖ (\dependent co-arising\") as its central causal theory. The doctrine of dependent co-arising enables the Pr¿ívÖsa¬¿œÄvñgika M¿ívÖdhyamika to reject a causal metaphysics of essence (svabhava) and adopt the view based on the inherent emptiness (s‚âà¬¥nyat¿ívÖ) of the essence of causality. The objective of my dissertation is therefore to investigate how the Pr¿ívÖsa¬¿œÄvñgika M¿ívÖdhyamika [non-essentialist] philosophy applies its twin concepts: emptiness (s‚âà¬¥nyat¿ívÖ) and dependent arising (prat¿í¬¥tyasamudpad¿ívÖ ) in the case of causality. To do this first I demonstrate the incompatible nature of causality and essence (svabh¿ívÖva) from the Pr¿ívÖsa¬¿œÄvñgika M¿ívÖdhyamika's point of view demonstrate the grounds for rejecting the notion of essence by means of providing a detailed critique of the four traditional Indian essentialist causal theories. I then offer a detailed discussion of the Pr¿ívÖsa¬¿œÄvñgika's arguments in support of the doctrine of dependent arising as a plausible account of a causal explanation and I achieve this by way of identifying emptiness with dependent arising"

Vortices in self-gravitating gaseous discs

description: (abridged) Vortices are believed to play a role in the formation of km-sized planetesimals. However, vortex dynamics is commonly studied in non-self-gravitating discs. The main goal here is to examine the effects of disc self-gravity on vortex dynamics. For this purpose, we employ the 2D self-gravitating shearing sheet approximation. A simple cooling law with a constant cooling time is adopted, such that the disc settles down into a quasi-steady gravitoturbulent state. In this state, vortices appear as transient structures undergoing recurring phases of formation, growth to sizes comparable to a local Jeans scale and eventual shearing and destruction due to the combined effects of self-gravity and background Keplerian shear. Each phase typically lasts about 2 orbital periods or less. As a result, in self-gravitating discs the overall dynamical picture of vortex evolution is irregular consisting of many transient vortices at different evolutionary stages and, therefore, with various sizes up to the local Jeans scale. Vortices generate density waves during evolution, which turn into shocks. Therefore, the dynamics of density waves and vortices are coupled implying that, in general, one should consider both vortex and spiral density wave modes in order to get a proper understanding of self-gravitating disc dynamics. Our results suggest that given such an irregular and rapidly varying character of vortex evolution in self-gravitating discs, it may be difficult for such vortices to effectively trap dust particles. Further study of the behaviour of dust particles embedded in a self-gravitating gaseous disc is, however, required to strengthen this conclusion.

description: We show how to improve constraints on Ω_m, σ_8, and the dark-energy equation-of-state parameter, w, obtained by Mantz et al. (2008) from measurements of the X-ray luminosity function of galaxy clusters, namely MACS, the local BCS and the REFLEX galaxy cluster samples with luminosities L> 3 \times 10^{44} erg/s in the 0.1--2.4 keV band. To this aim, we use Tinker et al. (2008) mass function instead of Jenkins et al. (2001) and the M-L relationship obtained from Del Popolo (2002) and Del Popolo et al. (2005). Using the same methods and priors of Mantz et al. (2008), we find, for a Λ$CDM universe, Ω_m=0.28^{+0.05}_{-0.04} and σ_8=0.78^{+0.04}_{-0.05}$ while the result of Mantz et al. (2008) gives less tight constraints $Ω_m=0.28^{+0.11}_{-0.07}$ and σ_8=0.78^{+0.11}_{-0.13}. In the case of a wCDM model, we find Ω_m=0.27^{+0.07}_{-0.06}, $σ_8=0.81^{+0.05}_{-0.06}$ and $w=-1.3^{+0.3}_{-0.4}$, while in Mantz et al. (2008) they are again less tight Ω_m=0.24^{+0.15}_{-0.07}, σ_8=0.85^{+0.13}_{-0.20} and w=-1.4^{+0.4}_{-0.7}. Combining the XLF analysis with the f_{gas}+CMB+SNIa data set results in the constraint Ω_m=0.269 \pm 0.012, σ_8=0.81 \pm 0.021 and w=-1.02 \pm 0.04, to be compared with Mantz et al. (2008), Ω_m=0.269 \pm 0.016, σ_8=0.82 \pm 0.03 and w=-1.02 \pm 0.06. The tightness of the last constraints obtained by Mantz et al. (2008), are fundamentally due to the tightness of the $f_{gas}$+CMB+SNIa constraints and not to their XLF analysis. Our findings, consistent with w=-1, lend additional support to the cosmological-constant model.

description: The Figure of Merit Science Working Group (FoMSWG) recently forecast the constraints on dark energy that will be achieved prior to the Joint Dark Energy Mission (JDEM) by ground-based experiments that exploit baryon acoustic oscillations, type Ia supernovae, and weak gravitational lensing. We show that cluster counts from on-going and near-future surveys should provide robust, complementary dark energy constraints. In particular, we find that optimally combined optical and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect cluster surveys should improve the Dark Energy Task Force (DETF) figure of merit for pre-JDEM projects by a factor of two even without prior knowledge of the nuisance parameters in the cluster mass-observable relation. Comparable improvements are achieved in the forecast precision of parameters specifying the principal component description of the dark energy equation of state parameter as well as in the growth index gamma. These results indicate that cluster counts can play an important complementary role in constraining dark energy and modified gravity even if the associated systematic errors are not strongly controlled.

description: Wie teilen Paare die Haushaltstätigkeiten auf? Welche Vorstellungen haben Jugendliche? Und weshalb kann man auch mit einer als ungerecht empfundenen Aufteilung zufrieden sein? Die vorliegende Studie verwendet Daten einer Online-Erhebung im Mixed-Methods Design, an der im Mai 2022 insgesamt 1.577 in Österreich wohnhafte Personen zwischen 16 und 88 Jahren teilgenommen haben. Die Analyse der selbstberichteten bzw. gewünschten Arbeitsaufteilung wurde entlang von 17 Tätigkeiten vorgenommen, die typischerweise im Haushalt anfallen. Das dominante Verteilungsmuster ist, dass die Aufgaben von "beiden ungefähr zu gleichen Teilen" übernommen werden, wobei in heterosexuellen Partnerschaften Frauen weiterhin den größeren Anteil übernehmen als ihr Partner. Damit repliziert die Studie das bekannte Bild weiblicher Mehrarbeit, erkennt aber auch Generationenunterschiede im Sinne einer zunehmend egalitäreren Aufteilung unter Jüngeren. Für die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer egalitären Aufteilung erweisen sich vier Determinanten als statistisch signifikant: (1) Geschlecht, (2) Kinder im Haushalt, (3) Einkommensverteilung und (4) Wohnregion. Für die Zufriedenheit mit der Arbeitsaufteilung spielt die empfundene Gerechtigkeit eine Rolle, aber auch der Austausch auf Gefühlsebene: Personen, die mehr emotionale Zuwendung in ihrer Partnerschaft erhalten, berichten eine größere Zufriedenheit mit der Arbeitsteilung.
The taxation of professional income in Canada
Creators: name: Watts, Peter D.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Taxpayers in the Canadian professions have expressed their opinions, individually, and through their professional association, that they are unfairly taxed under present taxation legislation. While they are able to deduct the expenses incurred to earn their professional income, they would like to be placed on an equal tax basis with merchants and other taxpayers in the service industries who are able to incorporate and take advantage of certain tax concessions available to corporate taxpayers. The British Columbia government enacted the Professional Corporations Act in 1970 which gave the option of incorporation to all taxpayers who previously, due to either law, tradition, or their professional code of ethics were unable to incorporate. Confusion arose as to whether the Department of National Revenue would recognize professional corporations and the British Columbia Act was subsequently suspended. The Canadian taxation system has been intensively investigated in recent years and extensive amendments have been proposed by the government. To achieve equity Canadian professionals should be subject to the same tax burden as other Canadian businesses. Professional incorporation should not be permitted due to the ethical problems it would raise. Instead professionals should be given the option under the Income Tax Act of having their income taxed at corporate rates and in addition being able to take advantage of the other tax planning mechanisms presently available to corporations. Equity will thus be established between taxpayers in the professions and other Canadian businesses.

description: We construct a generalization of the multiplicative product of distributions presented by L. Hörmander in [L. Hörmander, {\it The analysis of linear partial differential operators I} (Springer-Verlag, 1983)]. The new product is defined in the vector space ${\mathcal A}(\bkR)$ of piecewise smooth functions $f: \bkR \to \bkC$ and all their (distributional) derivatives. It is associative, satisfies the Leibniz rule and reproduces the usual pointwise product of functions for regular distributions in ${\mathcal A}(\bkR)$. Endowed with this product, the space ${\mathcal A}(\bkR)$ becomes a differential associative algebra of generalized functions. By working in the new ${\mathcal A}(\bkR)$-setting we determine a method for transforming an ordinary linear differential equation with general solution $ψ$ into another, ordinary linear differential equation, with general solution $χ_Ω ψ$, where $χ_Ω$ is the characteristic function of some prescribed interval $Ω\subset \bkR$.

Effect of lecithin on the reconstitutability of whole milk powder.
Creators: name: Toma, Sadiq Jawad
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In the last few decades, considerable emphasis has been placed on the problem of manufacturing very readily soluble whole milk powder. A satisfactory instant whole milk powder is difficult to produce largely because of the presence of fat in the system. In the present study, certain substances were added to the whole milk powder to help the dispersion of its constituents. Attempt has been made to investigate the effect of lecithin from different sources on the instantization of whole milk powder and to find out whether this effect is due to a chemical interaction between the casein and lecithin or due to a change in the physical properties of the powder. It was found that the powder particles agglomerated partially and as a result, the reconstitutability in cold water, 4°C, was improved, remarkably. Different degrees of improvement in the sinkability were observed when the powder was treated with 2% lecithin from different sources. There was no evidence for casein lecithin interaction but the results show that alteration in the interfacial tension of butter oil and the surface tension of water by lecithins would play an important role in the sink-ability improvement of the powder.

description: For several flows of laboratory turbulence, we obtain long records of velocity data. These records are divided into numerous segments. In each segment, we calculate the mean rate of energy dissipation, the mean energy at each scale, and the mean total energy. Their values fluctuate significantly among the segments. The fluctuations are lognormal, if the segment length lies within the range of large scales where the velocity correlations are weak but not yet absent. Since the lognormality is observed regardless of the Reynolds number and the configuration for turbulence production, it is expected to be universal. The likely origin is some multiplicative stochastic process related to interactions among scales through the energy transfer.

description: We present the results of AKARI observations of the O-rich supernova remnant G292.0+1.8 using six IRC and four FIS bands covering 2.7-26.5 um and 50-180 um, respectively. The AKARI images show two prominent structures; a bright equatorial ring structure and an outer elliptical shell structure. The equatorial ring structure is clumpy and incomplete with its western end opened. The outer shell is almost complete and slightly squeezed along the north-south direction. The central position of the outer shell is ~ 1' northwest from the embedded pulsar and coincides with the center of the equatorial ring structure. The equatorial ring and the elliptical shell structures were partly visible in optical and/or X-rays, but they are much more clearly revealed in our AKARI images. There is no evident difference in infrared colors of the two prominent structures, which is consistent with the previous proposition that both structures are of circumstellar origin. However, we have detected faint infrared emission of a considerably high 15 to 24 um ratio associated with the supernova ejecta in the southeastern and northwestern areas. Our IRC spectra show that the high ratio is at least partly due to the emission lines from Ne ions in the supernova ejecta material. In addition we detect a narrow, elongated feature outside the SNR shell. We derive the physical parameters of the infrared-emitting dust grains in the shocked circumstellar medium and compare the result with model calculations of dust destruction by a SN shock. The AKARI results suggest that the progenitor was at the center of the infrared circumstellar shell in red supergiant stage and that the observed asymmetry in the SN ejecta could be a result of either a dense circumstellar medium in the equatorial plane and/or an asymmetric explosion.

description: Mutations of the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) cause a range of profoundly debilitating clinical conditions for which treatment options are very limited. Most mtDNA diseases show heteroplasmy - tissues express both wild-type and mutant mtDNA. While the level of heteroplasmy broadly correlates with disease severity, the relationships between specific mtDNA mutations, heteroplasmy, disease phenotype and severity are poorly understood. We have carried out extensive bioenergetic, metabolomic and RNAseq studies on heteroplasmic patient-derived cells carrying the most prevalent disease related mtDNA mutation, the m.3243 A > G. These studies reveal that the mutation promotes changes in metabolites which are associated with the upregulation of the PI3K-Akt-mTORC1 axis in patient-derived cells and tissues. Remarkably, pharmacological inhibition of PI3K, Akt, or mTORC1 reduced mtDNA mutant load and partially rescued cellular bioenergetic function. The PI3K-Akt-mTORC1 axis thus represents a potential therapeutic target that may benefit people suffering from the consequences of the m.3243 A > G mutation.

description: The properties of the Extreme Horizontal Branch stars are quite well understood, but much uncertainty surrounds the many paths that bring a star to this peculiar configuration. Asteroseismology of pulsating EHB stars has been performed on a number of objects, bringing us to the stage where comparisons of the inferred properties with evolutionary models becomes feasible. In this review I outline our current understanding of the formation and evolution of these stars, with emphasis on recent progress. The aim is to show how the physical parameters derived by asteroseismology can enable the discrimination between different evolutionary models.

Suspended sediment transport in the North Esk River
Creators: name: Skirving, WJ
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis investigated the suspended sediment transportation of the North Esk River, Tasmania. The investigation was divided into two sections, the origins and the quantity of sediment transported. With respect to the origins, it was found that the main contributors to the suspended sediment load were recently denuded areas, i.e. recently logged areas and ploughed farmland. For example, 761t of sediment was estimated to have come from a 50ha logging coupe in only 320 hours. A single beam turbidity meter, based on light attenuation, was designed and constructed to monitor the sediment concentrations of the river. The results from.this turbidity meter were used in conjunction with discharge data to derive a sediment rating curve. This curve was applied to daily discharge records to derive long term estimates of sediment transport. The mean annual suspended sediment transport of the North Esk River was estimated to be 7225t. This estimate was extrapolated to the whole Tamar River catchment. It was estimated that the average annual suspended sediment input to the Tamar Estuary from its tributaries is 56,900 t/year.

description: We calculate the decay rates lambda_(beta^-_c) and lambda_(beta^-_b) of the continuum- and bound-state beta^- decays for bare 205Hg80+ and 207Tl81+ ions. For the ratio of the decay rates R_(b/c) = lambda_(beta^-_b)/lambda_(beta^-_c) we obtain the values R_(b/c) = 0.161 and R_(b/c) = 0.190 for bare 205Hg80+ and 207Tl81+ ions, respectively. The theoretical value of the ratio R_(b/c) = 0.190 for the decays of 207Tl81+ agrees within 1% of accuracy with the experimental data R^exp_(b/c) = 0.188(18), obtained at GSI. The theoretical ratio R_(b/c) = 0.161 for 205Hg80+ is about 20% smaller than the experimental value R^exp_(b/c) = 0.20(2), measured recently at GSI.

Probing R-parity violating models of neutrino mass at the LHC via top squark decays

description: It is shown that the R-parity violating decays of the lighter top squarks (${\widetilde t}_1$) triggered by the lepton number violating couplings $λ^{\prime}_{i33}$, where the lepton family index i = 1-3, can be observed at the LHC via the dilepton di-jet channel even if the coupling is as small as 10$^{-4}$ or 10$^{-5}$, which is the case in several models of neutrino mass, provided it is the next lightest supersymmetric particle(NLSP) the lightest neutralino being the lightest supersymmetric particle(LSP). We have first obtained a fairly model independent estimate of the minimum observable value of the parameter ($P_{ij} \equiv BR(\widetilde t \to l_i^+ b) \times BR(\widetilde t^* \to l_j^- \bar b$)) at the LHC for an integrated luminosity of 10fb$^{-1}$ as a function of $\mlstop$ by a standard Pythia based analysis. We have then computed the parameter $P_{ij}$ in several representative models of neutrino mass constrained by the neutrino oscillation data and have found that the theoretical predictions are above the estimated minimum observable levels for a wide region of the parameter space.

Using the Sun to estimate Earth-like planets detection capabilities.I. Impact of cold spots

description: Stellar spots may in some cases produce radial velocity (RV) signatures similar to those of exoplanets. To further investigate the impact of spots, we aim at studying the detectability of Earth mass planets in the habitable zone (HZ) of solar type stars, if covered by spots similar to the sunspots. We have used the Sunspots properties recorded over one solar cycle between 1993 and 2003 to build the RV curve that a solar type star seen edge-on would show, if covered by such spots with Tsun -Tspot = 550K. We also simulate the RV of such a spotted star surrounded by an Earth mass planet located in the HZ. Under present assumptions, the detection of a 1 M Earth planet located between 0.8 and 1.2 AU requires an intensive monitoring (weekly or better), during several years of low activity phasis. The temporal sampling is more crucial than the precision of the data (assuming precisions in the range [1-10] cm/s). Cooler spots may become a problem for such detections. Also, we anticipate that plages, not considered in this paper, could further complicate or even compromise the detections.
Developmental and genetic analysis of a purported new class of sex-lined mutations in Drosophila melanogaster.
Creators: name: Pratt, L. Rachel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: During the screening process 5,20 8 X chromosomes of -Drosophila melanogaster were analyzed for the presence of temperature-sensitive (ts) lethal mutations (i.e. mutants which die at 29°C but are viable at 22°C) in short proximal and distal segments of the chromosome. Seven ts and 16 non-ts lethals were recovered in both regions combined. A new class of mutations (class-3), which failed to survive at 29°C with either proximal or distal duplication and showed ts lethality with one, was found and extensively analyzed. These mutants were initially interpreted to be dominant ts's, although the heterozygotes of each mutant showed this not to be so. It was decided that these might more probably be chromosomes carrying a lethal mutation covered by the duplication, and a ts lethal mapping elsewhere. By masking the non-conditional lethal with a duplication, developmental studies of the ts mutant were made. The temperature-sensitive period (TSP) and lethal phase (LP) were characterized for each. All TSP’s spanned the early pupal interval, though an individual TSP might extend to either side of this interval. The pattern of temperature-sensitivity of C3-3 suggested that once formed at permissive temperature, its product was not affected by 29°C. The experiments suggest that the temperature-sensitive process occurs at transcription or translation. A lethal allele of the dor locus was recovered, and, in analysis of this mutant with other dor alleles and several variegating duplications, dor itself was found to be a ts lethal. "Warped" wing, a new phenotype of the dor locus which occurred only with the variegating duplications, was described. This paper further describes a method for developmental analysis of non-ts lethal mutations, involving the use of variegating rearrangements.
