A high performance diaphragm shock tube with an imploding detonation driver.
Creators: name: Redfern, Paul Joseph
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The performance of a diaphragm shock tube with an imploding detonation driver is theoretically and experimentally investigated. Strong shock waves are produced by a driver in which a detonation is forced to implode to the apex of a conical channel. In this geometry, the area convergence experienced by the imploding front elevates the driver gas temperature and pressure above the usual Chapman-Jouguet values, thereby increasing the strength of the test shock. Theoretically, the relationship between test shock strength, filling pressure, and area reduction in a conical channel is studied. Experimentally, the importance of the geometric parameters - slant angle, channel width and channel convergence - is investigated. The performance of the conical implosion driver compares well with that of other membrane shock tubes. For instance, for oxy-acetylene detonations, driving into argon of 5 Torr, a Mach number greater than 13 may be reached for a driver to test gas pressure ratio of 100. The same Mach number available from a Chapman-Jouguet detonation driver occurs only above a pressure ratio of 200. For cold hydrogen and constant volume oxy-hydrogen combustion, pressure ratios of 10⁶ and 2 X 10⁴ respectively are required to produce Mach 13. Design criteria for a large area reduction driving facility are also given.

description: We describe an approach to domain adaptation that is appropriate exactly in the case when one has enough ``target'' data to do slightly better than just using only ``source'' data. Our approach is incredibly simple, easy to implement as a preprocessing step (10 lines of Perl!) and outperforms state-of-the-art approaches on a range of datasets. Moreover, it is trivially extended to a multi-domain adaptation problem, where one has data from a variety of different domains.
Biogeography of Tasmanian native land snails

Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: The Australian island state of Tasmania has a well-sampled land snail fauna consisting mostly of endemic species, mostly confined to particular portions of the state. This thesis analyses the known distribution of different species within the state with the aims of: (i) describing and summarising these distributions, (ii) examining the applicability of models used for other Tasmanian taxa to land snail distributions, (iii) categorising and tentatively explaining snail distributions where possible, and (iv) assessing some ramifications of snail distributions for conservation planning. One hundred and six species/morphospecies are discussed, of which approximately 39 were not formally or informally recognised before this project commenced. Undescribed species (and genuine species incorrectly synonymised) are here identified chiefly through qualitatively significant shell-feature distinctions, or through reliable quantitative differences. Species distribution is analysed primarily at a resolution of 10x10km grid squares, at which level 4272 records (including project specific fieldwork aimed at improving the representativeness of sampling) are used. Discussion is chiefly inferential in the absence of adequate statistical models, but overall database statistics are used to comment on whether apparent gaps in species ranges are likely to be meaningful. The single most significant pattern in the Tasmanian mainland snail fauna distributions separates the west and far south from the remainder, a pattern to which geology, rainfall, vegetation and substrate may all contribute. The manifestation of this pattern varies between different contributing species. This result is practically identical to results previously obtained for other invertebrates, but another broad-scale pattern, the influence of the face of the Great Western Tiers in the central north, is not. Congruence with bioregional models based on trees and vertebrates is only approximate and piecemeal, showing potential limitations for conservation planning of models that do not include poorly dispersing taxa (such as non-flying invertebrates) in their source data. Known facets of local endemism such as island endemism, karst endemism, parapatric species mosaics, alpine endemism, \toeholding\" and glacial refuge endemism are all reflected in the fauna to some degree. The value of these for predicting the likely locations of undescribed or as yet undifferentiated twha is however undermined by the frequency of distributions not explicable by any known direct cause and by the relatively small and spatially variable contribution of each specific known cause. The potential merits of limiting the spatial scale of comprehensive habitat loss especially in poorly-surveyed areas are therefore discussed."

description: The conjugacy class of a generic unimodular 2 by 2 complex matrix is determined by its trace, which may be an arbitrary complex number. In the nineteenth century, it was known that a generic pair (X,Y) of such pairs is determined up to conjugacy by the triple of traces (tr(X),tr(Y),tr(XY), which may be an arbitary element of C^3. This paper gives an elementary and detailed proof of this fact, which was published by Vogt in 1889. The folk theorem describing the extension of a representation to a representation of the index-two supergroup which is a free product of three groups of order two, is described in detail, and related to hyperbolic geometry. When n > 2, the classification of conjugacy-classes of n-tuples in SL(2,C) is more complicated. We describe it in detail when n= 3. The deformation spaces of hyperbolic structures on some simple surfaces S whose fundamental group is free of rank two or three are computed in trace coordinates. (We only consider the two orientable surfaces whose fundamental group has rank 3.)

description: What are the consequences should jellyfish consume an increasingly greater share of plankton production? Jellyfish may play a role shaping energy flow through pelagic food webs by diverting plankton production away from higher trophic levels. In the Northern California Current, scyphozoan jellyfish attain high biomasses during summer months, but their abundance is variable from year to year. Do large jellyfish blooms have an observable impact on the rest of the ecosystem? Sensitivity analyses with an end-to-end ecosystem model of the Northern California Current were used to examine the potential effects of increased jellyfish production upon higher trophic levels. These analyses suggest that salmon are particularly sensitive to jellyfish blooms. Although jellyfish and young salmon feed at different trophic levels, they may be indirect competitors for plankton production. Pelagic surveys off Oregon and Washington were used to examine the relationship between the dominant jellyfish (Chrysaora fuscescens) and salmon production. There was a significant, negative correlation between C. fuscescens abundance and the strength of salmon returns to the Columbia River in subsequent years. Further examination showed that juvenile salmon stomachs were less full at locations with higher C. fuscescens biomass.

description: Changes in extreme temperatures, heat waves, heavy rainfall events, and precipitation frequency can have adverse impacts on human health, air quality, agricultural productivity, and water resources. Using the aerosol only (AER) and greenhouse gas only (GHG) "single forcing" simulations (3 ensemble members each) from the GFDL CM3 chemistry-climate model, we investigate aerosol- versus greenhouse gas-induced changes in high temperature and precipitation extremes over the United States. We identify changes in these events from 1860 to 2005 and the associated large-scale dynamical conditions. Small changes in these extremes in the "all forcing" simulations reflect cancellations between the individual, opposite-signed effects of increasing anthropogenic aerosols and greenhouse gases. In AER, aerosols lead to lower extreme high temperatures and fewer warm spells over the western US (-2.1 K regional average; -20 days/year) and over the central and northeast US (-1.5 K; -12 days/year). In GHG, a similar but opposite-signed response pattern occurs (+2.7 K and +14 days/year over the western US; +2.5 K and +10 days/year in the central and northeast US). The similar spatial response patterns in AER versus GHG suggest a preferred regional mode of response that is largely independent of the regional distribution of the forcing agent. The influence of both greenhouse gases and aerosols on extreme high temperature is weakest in the southeast US, collocated with the observed "warming hole". No statistically significant change occurs in AER, and a warming of only +1.8 K occurs in GHG. Warming in this region continues to be muted over the 21st century under the RCP 8.5 scenario, with increases in extreme temperatures more than 1 K smaller than elsewhere. Aerosols induce decreases in the number of days per year with at least 10mm of precipitation (R10mm) over the eastern US in summer and winter and over the southern US in spring of roughly 1 day/year. In contrast, greenhouse gases induce increases in R10mm over the eastern US in winter (+0.8 days/year), the northern and central US during spring (+1 day/year), and the southeast US during summer (+0.5 days/year), but decreases over the northeast US in summer (-0.2 days/year). In RCP 8.5, the patterns of extreme temperature and precipitation associated with greenhouse gas forcing dominate.
Conformal field theory at central charge c=0: a measure of the indecomposability (b) parameters

description: A good understanding of conformal field theory (CFT) at c=0 is vital to the physics of disordered systems, as well as geometrical problems such as polymers and percolation. Steady progress has shown that these CFTs should be logarithmic, with indecomposable operator product expansions, and indecomposable representations of the Virasoro algebra. In one of the earliest papers on the subject, V. Gurarie introduced a single parameter b to quantify this indecomposability in terms of the logarithmic partner t of the stress energy tensor T. He and A. Ludwig conjectured further that b=-5/8 for polymers and b=5/6 for percolation. While a lot of physics may be hidden behind this parameter - which has also given rise to a lot of discussions - it had remained very elusive up to now, due to the lack of available methods to measure it experimentally or numerically, in contrast say with the central charge. We show in this paper how to overcome the many difficulties in trying to measure b. This requires control of a lattice scalar product, lattice Jordan cells, together with a precise construction of the state L_{-2}|0>. The final result is that b=5/6 for polymers. For percolation, we find that b=-5/8 within an XXZ or supersymmetric representation. In the geometrical representation, we do not find a Jordan cell for L_0 at level two (finite-size Hamiltonian and transfer matrices are fully diagonalizable), so there is no b in this case.

The Accelerated Schools Project in Australia : resilience and renewal
Creators: name: Andrew, RG
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The thesis examines key developmental issues arising from a six-year interpretive case study of the implementation of the Accelerated Schools Project (ASP) in Matterslea (pseudonym) Primary School, Tasmania, Australia. Matterslea is the first school in the 'Southern Hemisphere to apply the ASP model of comprehensive school-wide reform. ASP was designed in the US for use in high poverty communities. Through the process, Matterslea has reshaped its governance, school organisation and pedagogic approach. Not only has the model changed the school, but in the context of Tasmanian public education, the ASP model has also experienced contextual adaptations. The ways in which the model itself has been adapted and the changes resulting from its implementation are key focus points of the thesis. Consideration is given in the thesis to the researcher's dual role of researcher/observer and 'coach' in the project which has been a collaboration of the University of Tasmania, the Accelerated Schools project (Stanford and Columbia Universities) and the Esk School District of the Tasmanian Department of Education (DoE). The research was multi-method in approach, involving participant observation, qualitative and quantitative data gathering. Using a combination of surveys, interviews, documentary reports and quantitative measures, the study analyses outcomes in three reform phases: establishment, consolidation and self authoring. A review of the literature in the related areas of school renewal and organisational learning identifies three key difficulties common to top-down systemic reforms: coherence, member empowerment, and authenticity of learning. In terms of various measures, the outcomes of the study show that Matterslea's ASP implementation has made substantial progress in meeting those challenges, and how, as a so-called 'disadvantaged school', it has achieved an internal coherence of policy and practice that accords with broad central DoE policy but is not dominated by it. Critical determinants of Matterslea's organisational resilience are identified by the study. They are the deliberate, committed distribution of its leadership; broad ownership of authentic vision-led priorities; and the use of transparent, culturally appropriate means of communication for all key member groups. The thesis examines the implications for contemporary Tasmanian school planning and curriculum reform.
Highly Accelerated Diamagnetic Plasmoids: A New X-ray Production Mechanism for OB Stellar Winds

description: The observed X-ray source temperature distributions in OB stellar winds, as determined from high energy resolution Chandra observations, show that the highest temperatures occur near the star, and then steadily decrease outward through the wind. To explain this unexpected behavior, we propose a shock model concept that utilizes a well-known magnetic propulsion mechanism; the surface ejection of "diamagnetic plasmoids" into a diverging external magnetic field. This produces rapidly accelerating self-contained structures that plow through an ambient wind and form bow shocks that generate a range in X-ray temperatures determined by the plasmoid-wind relative velocities. The model free parameters are the plasmoid initial Alfven speed, the initial plasma-beta of the external medium, and the divergence rate of the external field. These are determined by fitting the predicted bow shock temperatures with the observed OB supergiant X-ray temperature distribution. We find that the initial external plasma-beta has a range between 0 and 2, and the assumed radially-decreasing external magnetic field strength that scales as r^{-S} has a value of S lying between 2 and 3. Most importantly, the initial plasmoid Alfven speed is found to be well-constrained at a value of 0.6 times the terminal velocity, which appears to represent an upper limit for all normal OB stars. This intriguing new limit on OB magnetic properties, as derived from Chandra observations, emphasizes the need for further studies of magnetic propulsion mechanisms in these stars.

The virtues they needed to have : a brief history of the virtues from Homer to Hume, and how virtue enabled communities to survive and thrive
Creators: name: Conway, RK
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: In the course of this thesis, I will argue that for more than two thousand years the practice of virtue enabled the flourishing of communities and societies. Undoubtedly, virtue was the transformational process that enabled individuals to achieve certain highly desirable ends ‚ÄövÑvÆ such as happiness, pleasure or eternal life. As well as caring for the self, virtue cultivated the care of others ‚ÄövÑvÆ stimulating responsibility for family, friends and community and promoting their well-being. However, virtue also transformed individuals into the sorts of people - heroes, politicians, monks and so on - that societies and communities needed to survive or flourish in the face of the social, cultural and political circumstances of the time ‚ÄövÑvÆ and when communities flourished, so did individuals. This inextricable interrelationship existed from the earliest times of Western civilization until some point between the beginning of the Renaissance and the end of the Eighteenth Century. Over these first four centuries or so of modernity, virtue gradually ceased to be the only way of successfully living in a social group and became merely one option, among many, from which individuals could choose. I will argue that the changes we can observe in virtue and virtues over the history were not due to fashion, arbitrary choices or moral errors. Virtues defined what was valuable about a particular society ‚ÄövÑvÆ what communities valued in their people; what people valued in their community; what people valued in themselves and in others. Virtues often correlated to the leadership skills that were pertinent to cultural, social and political circumstances. Traditional virtues were never sacrosanct; they could be reinterpreted, mis-remembered or simply left in abeyance until they were necessary again. The priority ‚ÄövÑvÆ or place in the hierarchy ‚ÄövÑvÆ of particular virtues could shift depending on, for example, whether courage, wisdom or love was most likely to lead to communal success. This thesis raises a number of questions about the focus of contemporary virtue theory on the character, choices and motivations of the individual moral agent, and about the persistence of the notion that virtue should be universal for all times and places. It concludes by examining a number of problems, misconceptions and mistakes that are perpetuated by a lack of attention to the relationship between virtue and societal or communal flourishing. After all, as social animals, we are relational and as such, we continue, to create and sustain communities. By expanding our focus on patterns found in individual character, reasoning and emotions, to include patterns found in societal or communal flourishing, a new understanding of twenty-first century virtue may develop.

description: The idea that the explicit breaking of scale invariance by the trace anomaly of QCD can be rephrased as a spontaneous breaking has been recently exploited to capture the low-energy strong interaction dynamics of dense (and also hot) matter in terms of two dilaton fields, the "soft" (chi_s) and the "hard" (chi_h) fields, in the frame work of the hidden local gauge symmetry. In the Freund-Nambu model, the spontaneous symmetry breaking of scale symmetry is induced by an explicitly breaking term, while the spontaneous symmetry breaking is possible in the flat potential model which is scale symmetric. We discuss the interplay of the soft and hard dilatons using the spontaneously broken scale symmetry schemes and uncover a novel structure of dense matter hitherto unexplored.

description: Both sexes of the box jellyfish Carybdea brevipedalia was collected from northern Japan, in November 2013, in order to its observe its early life history, including polyp formation. Fertilization occurred externally. Demersal fertilized eggs were obtained during the incubation of mature females and males. Fertilized eggs developed into blastulae within 6h. Blastulae developed into planulae bearing about 30 larval ocelli within 12h, and then settled two to three days and metamorphosed into primary polyps bearing one to four tentacles. Primary polyps developed into adult polyps within 80 days, and both polyp stages could actively detach to change location by creeping on the central part of their body. Budding occurred in three to fourtentacled polyps, and buds were released two days after the commencement of budding. The developmental features of C. brevipedalia resemble most closely those of Tripedaliidae including Tripedalia cystophora and Copula sivickisi among the cubozoans. The morphological affinities of polyp of in C. brevipedalia, T. cystophora and C. sivickisi support recent molecular result.
An EPR study of order and molecular orientation in liquid crystals

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Using EPR, the temperature dependence of the effective order parameter of the molecule vanadyl acetylacetonate in the nematic liquid crystal 4-methoxy benzylidene-n-butyl aniline was studied. In the resulting data, a discontinuity in slope of the curve of effective order parameter versus temperature was found, indicating a change to a more restricted type of motion at lower temperatures. Similar results were obtained from NMR T₁ measurements on the pure liquid crystal. The discontinuity cannot be interpreted solely as a viscosity effect. Two cholesteric liquid crystal mixtures containing vanadyl acetylacetonate were subjected to a high magnetic field (~20 kilogauss). Prom EPR measurements, a 1.75:1 mixture by weight of cholesteryl chloride and cholesteryl myristate was found to orient its helix axis parallel to the field direction. In a.2 percent by weight mixture of cholesteryl chloride in nematic 4-methoxy benzylidene-n-butyl aniline, the molecules tended to arrange their long axes parallel to the field thus making the helix axis perpendicular to the field.

description: The Jellyfish Database Initiative (JeDI) is a scientifically-coordinated global database dedicated to gelatinous zooplankton (members of the Cnidaria, Ctenophora and Thaliacea) and associated environmental data. The database, housed at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis, USA, currently holds 476,000 quantitative, categorical, presence-absence and presence only records of gelatinous zooplankton spanning the past four centuries (1790-2011). It has been developed and designed as an open access research tool for the scientific community to quantitatively define the global baseline of gelatinous zooplankton populations and to describe long-term and largescale trends in gelatinous zooplankton populations and blooms. It has also been constructed as a future repository of datasets, thus allowing retrospective analyses of the baseline and trends in global gelatinous zooplankton populations to be conducted in the future. We describe how to access the metadata and download or deposit data within JeDI, and demonstrate some of its potential capabilities by (1) defining a global baseline of carbon biomass of gelatinous zooplankton within the epipelagic ocean, and (2) describing distributional trends in gelatinous zooplankton biomass by latitude and Longhurst biogeochemical province.

description: In Zeiten globaler Erwärmung, Verschmutzung und Ressourcenknappheit wird es immer wichtiger sich als Architekt der sich verändernden Umwelt anzupassen und darauf zu reagieren. Anpassen soll nicht als eine Art des Aufgebens, sondern vielmehr als der Versuch gesehen werden, aktiv und optimistisch diesen Problemen entgegen zu wirken. Architektur ist nicht nur physisch erfahrbar. Architektur ist ein Mittel um unsichtbare Strukturen, wie soziales Verhalten oder das Unbewusste zu formen. Das Konzept von Slow Tourism eröffnet ein neues Bewusstsein zu reisen und das in einem angemessenen, umsichtigen Rahmen. Die Arbeit „AWAY AT HOME // a sustainable retreat“ betrachtet den Archetyp der Hütte als Reduktion des Wohnens auf seine essenziellste Form. Basierend auf dem Minimalismus der ersten Hütte ist es Ziel ein Retreat zu entwickeln, das einen lokal kulturellen Austausch fördert und durch die Wahl des Standortes nahe dem Ederstausee in Hessen auf dessen spezifische Eigenschaften eingeht. Der Ort lädt seine Besucher ein sich mit seiner Geschichte und seiner Natur auseinander zu setzen, weshalb die Verwendung nachhaltiger, sich der Natur anpassen- der Materialien Bestandteil dieser Arbeit ist.
description: In times of global warming, pollution and scarcity of resources it becomes crucial for archi- tects and architecture to adapt to earths needs and changes. Not to adapt in a way of giving in - adapt in a hopeful optimistic way. Architecture is not only something one can experience physically or in an artistic way, it also has the power to shape invisible structures. It impacts social behavior and the unconscious. The concept of slow tourism opens up the ability to travel for recreational reasons and decelerate within a reasonable range.The project „AWAY AT HOME // a sustainable retreat“ considers the archetype of the hut as the reduction of living to its essential meaning without exceeding its necessity. Based on the minimalism of the first hut I want to develop a retreat which emphasizes the local cultural exchange. Placed close to the Ederstausee it has to show the specifics given by the site and also engage its visitors with the physical surrounding as the lake, the trees and the soil but also with its unique history embedded into the ground of the lake. For the building process should only reusable or renewable materials be chosen which adapt the most to nature.

description: Columbia University Libraries have been involved in collaborative collection development since at least the late Ninetheenth Century. This presentation reflects on that early collaboration and the factors that made it necessary, and then brings us forward across parts of three centuries to the present day where many of the same factors are still at play. What began as a simple concept, born out of concerns over cost and space, has now grown into a complex organism—an ecosystem really—of overlapping objectives and responsibilities. And while cost and space continue to be the primary limiting factors of our efforts (too much of one, not enough of the other), preservation has become the third leg of the stool on which the future rests. What are the strategies then for addressing these three factors of cost, space, and preservation? What interactive relationships have we built to ensure broad access to knowledge through the course of time? We’ll talk about Columbia’s participation in four specific partnerships (2CUL, MaRLI, Ivy Plus/Borrow Direct, and ReCAP), and how these efforts have enabled us to expand our researchers’ access to the outputs of scholarly activity.

description: Since 1945, a seaweed derivative known as carrageenan has grown in importance in relation to how industrial food and pharmaceutical industries respond to demands for preventive technologies in public health. In advanced liberal nations, carrageenan is particularly interesting as an actornetwork through which are exhibited anxieties about processed food and health, controversies over carcinogeneity, and the hopes embodied in technologies to prevent obesity and HIV/ AIDS. These matters are of central concern in the research reported here, whose main aims are to build on insights from critical studies of public health and to contribute to scholarly formulations of a new critical geography of public health. Attention is drawn to evidence that preventive health is deployed such that individuals and communities are expected to avoid conditions of ill-health by acting as prudent and moral citizens. Prevention and prudentialism seem to expose individuals and communities to novel health technologies, knowledge and tactics of governmentality that, in turn, appear to shape social life and subjectivities across various scales and locations. Risk minimisation and risk aversion have become paramount in the spatial and temporal threads that comprise the fabric of social life and identity formation and performance. In this light, a third and related aim is to examine how and to what effect various notions of risk are deployed in the constitution of preventive technologies for public health. Particular, attention is paid to a qualitative exploration of risk mitigation via carrageenan's use in fat-free and low-fat foods, preventive treatments for HIV/AIDS, and responses to cancer. A substantive part of this thesis concerns an analysis of risk minimisation and risk aversion in the practice of public health, and that are implicit in carrageenan-based technologies. Such technologies include microbicides and some fast food products, whilst practices associated with them cover the use of food labels and media coverage of all these concerns. Indebted to insights from governmentality and actor-network theory, I speculate that prevention in public health discourses target individuals from a distance with the aim of encouraging them to modify their behaviours by acting on their own conduct. I also explore the spatial and temporal implications of this governing at a distance, asking if preventing risk is spatial insofar as it affects subjects of risk, and temporal in that the prevention of risk affects the present. The findings reveal deeper moral and political orderings to risk that are less emancipatory than they may appear, and that have demonstrable effects on the carrageenan industry.

description: In this paper we present an overview of radio frequency (RF) spectroscopy in the atomic Fermi superfluids. An ultimate goal is to suggest new directions in the cold gas research agenda from the condensed matter perspective.Our focus is on the experimental and theoretical literature of cold gases and photoemission spectroscopy of the cuprates particularly as it pertains to areas of overlap. This paper contains a systematic overview of the theory of RF spectroscopy, both momentum integrated and momentum resolved. We discuss the effects of traps, population imbalance, final state interactions over the entire range of temperatures and compare theory and experiment. We show that this broad range of phenomena can be accomodated within the BCS-Leggett description of BCS-BEC crossover and that this scheme also captures some of the central observations in photoemission experiments in the cuprates. In this last context, we note that the key themes which have emerged in cuprate photoemission studies involve characterization of the fermionic self energy, of the pseudogap and of the effects of superconducting coherence (in passing from above to below the superfluid transition temperature, $T_c$).These issues have a counterpart in the cold Fermi gases and it would be most useful in future to use these atomic systems to address these and the more sweeping question of how to describe that anomalous superfluid phase which forms in the presence of a normal state excitation gap.

An examination of reading and spelling processes in grade 1 and grade 3 school children

description: This review gives evidence and evaluates findings in relation to the acquisition of reading and spelling skills among beginning readers. Fundamental differences exist between the skills involved in learning to read and in learning to spell. However, the importance of phonological awareness as a cornerstone of successful reading and spelling development is highlighted in the literature. The nature of the relationship between children's reading and spelling development is examined and fundamental problems children encounter in learning these skills are discussed. The dual-route theory of reading is described and research generated under this model suggests evidence for a lexical and sublexical procedure in both reading and spelling. Future research challenges lie in identifying precise links between phonological awareness and developmental reading and spelling processes. Further knowledge of the component processes involved in reading and spelling, and children's reliance on lexical and sublexical processes across these domains, is suggested to be an essential addition to existing literature. Ultimately the challenge remains to provide sound strategies in how to overcome children's literacy difficulties.

description: Gelatinous zooplankton are an ecological group that are united by their low C mass to volume ratio. The ecophysiological implications of being gelatinous are beginning to be understood, and include increased C specific feeding rate and growth. However, to this point gelatinousness has been treated as a categorical variable, not recognising the considerable variation in C to volume ratio that exists in the zooplankton. This study treats gelatinousness as a continuous variable and through a combination of meta-analysis and time series analysis; investigates how gelatinousness affects the growth, population dynamics and population variability of all zooplankton. Preliminary analyses suggest that there is a strong relationship between gelatinousness and somatic growth rate (p < 1x10-16, df = 222) and significant relationships between gelatinousness and both population variability and increase rate. These results suggest that the trait of gelatinousness could have considerable ecological and evolutionary implications for all zooplankton.

description: The ozone (O3) dry depositional sink and its contribution to observed variability in tropospheric O3 are both poorly understood. Distinguishing O3 uptake through plant stomata versus other pathways is relevant for quantifying the O3 influence on carbon and water cycles. We use a decade of O3, carbon, and energy eddy covariance (EC) fluxes at Harvard Forest to investigate interannual variability (IAV) in O3 deposition velocities ( math formula). In each month, monthly mean math formula for the highest year is twice that for the lowest. Two independent stomatal conductance estimates, based on either water vapor EC or gross primary productivity, vary little from year to year relative to canopy conductance. We conclude that nonstomatal deposition controls the substantial observed IAV in summertime math formula during the 1990s over this deciduous forest. The absence of obvious relationships between meteorology and math formula implies a need for additional long-term, high-quality measurements and further investigation of nonstomatal mechanisms.
Electron acceleration in a helical waveguide

description: Travelling wave in a helical wave guide is considered for electron acceleration. A first determination of the travelling wave modes using a partial wave expansion (PWE) and a point matching method is presented. It gives a rapid solution for moderate deformation of the guide relative to a straight cylinder. Strong deformations will give higher accelerating gradient but the PWE diverges. Two methods overcoming this difficulties are suggested.

description: This deliverable introduces the guiding protocol for Work Package (WP) 3 of the digital-water.city project. It serves as an overarching framework to link the methodologies and results of the different WPs and to allow for comparability between different case studies conducted within WP3. To facilitate research on digital water governance systems in urban areas, the guiding protocol introduces a ‘Governance Assessment Framework’. This framework helps identify non-technical factors that enable or hinder the uptake of information and communications technology (ICT) solutions to sustainability issues in the water sector.
