Quatuor Pour Temps Incertains (Part 4: Piano)
Creators: name: Elia, Anthony J.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2013
Subjects: Music

description: The “Quatuor pour temps incertains” is a Quartet for Bb Clarinet, Violin, ‘Cello, and Piano, inspired by the work “Quatuor pour la fin du temps” by Oliver Messiaen. The present work is also in 8-movements, and composed with the same instrumentation as Messiaen’s work. The parts are based on aspects of life, memory, spirit, and prayer, for example, though not directly tied to Messiaen’s biblical inspirations. The composer of the present work first got the idea to write this “Quatuor,” after reading a piece about Messiaen by clarinetist Nurhak Tuncer, for whom this was written. The 8-movements of this piece include: Part 1: Incertitude, Part 2: Fragilté, Part 3: Recherche, Part 4: E’quilibre, Part 5: Esprit, Part 6: Repos, Part 7: Prière, Part 8: Résurrection. (All individual parts for the 8 movements will be available on Academic Commons).

description: Documentaion of works: Section 1 proposal, section 2 theoretical submissions, section 3 documentation of works, section 4 work processes. My work anchors itself in the specificity of the photographic record. Although it is an accepted fact that photographs lie, at the same time it can be argued that they do contain an element of truth - a knowledge that at some time an event occurred and was recorded. It is this inherent photographic quality, this dichotomy between representation and construction, reality and imagination that I intend to investigate and use to pose questions about our own notions of reality, of the world we exist in and of who or what we are. To date all my concerns have involved a progression towards this point. My first major piece (Queenstown), deliberately mis-used time and place. The latest work (Untitled 1983), used an almost filmic technique - a series of frozen photographic moments to allow the viewer space to enter. This desire to manipulate the photographic moment along with the concerns of alienation and vulnerability, of barriers and the need to break them, form the basis for my current motivation. My recent work comes from both observed experience and from a strong personal feeling of self investigation, growth and struggle. The work is intended to explore the state of flux in human existence - to reveal both the outer precariousness and vulnerability and the inner conflicting desires and fears that form and shape a personality. Munch has been a source here in the way that, for me, his figures seem about to shatter and dissolve into a landscape which itself seems ready to dissolve.

Applying the Team of Life as a Group Intervention within a Community Football Organisation
Creators: name: Simmonds-Buckley, Nathan
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2023
Subjects: Team of Life
Narrative
Group
Seldom heard

description: Background: Young men are seldom heard by services, can find it difficult to speak about difficulties and face numerous barriers to help-seeking. Football-based approaches can be effective at making support accessible and familiar. The Team of Life is a collective narrative practice methodology that uses footballing metaphors to encourage young people to speak about their lives, recognise skills and strengths and tackle problems.

Aims: The current study aimed to explore the experience of attending a Team of Life group. Evaluating whether the intervention has an influence on the individuals, whether it has an impact on how the football team functions and whether effects of the group extend to the other ‘Teams’ in participants lives.

Methods: A four-session Team of Life group was run with ten young people from a local community football club. Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with the ten participants. Analysis was conducted using reflexive thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2022).

Results: Three overarching themes were generated. The first theme: ‘Internal Changes and Mentality - Thinking About Football Helped Us Think About Ourselves’ described the changes the participants noticed in themselves from attending the group. The second theme: ‘A Better Team Spirit in the Changing Room’ described the changes the participants had noticed in their teammates. The final theme: ‘Celebrating our Supporters in the Stands’ focuses on the impact of participants recognising their Team of Life and support system.

Conclusions: The findings demonstrate that the Team of Life group intervention can be implemented in a community football club and highlights the importance of taking support into places where young people already are. The experiences of the participants demonstrate the value of metaphors, safe spaces, and benefits for individuals and group cohesion. Implications from the research and recommendations for services, communities and future research are discussed and highlighted.

title: Influence of Clinicians' and Clients' Religion on Diagnosis of Mental Illness
Creators: name: Wadsworth, Robert Dombey
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1978

description: Theorists propose that because psychodiagnosis is not a completely objective procedure, it is influenced by sociocultural values. It was hypothesized that religion might be one aspect of sociocultural values which influences psychodiagnosis. The present study sought to determine, by using a clinical analogue design, whether psychologists' formal diagnoses of clients are biased by their present religious affiliations and activity levels, their religious upbringing (assessed by their fathers' and mothers' religious affiliations and activity levels), the clients' religious affiliations and activity levels, or interactions between psychologist and client religious variables. Questionnaires were sent to 228 psychologists licensed to practice in Utah, inviting them to participate in the study. Items eliciting the psychologists' religious characteristics were disguised amidst irrelevant items on the questionnaire. Respondents were sent four case reports which were varied on the religious affiliation (LOS vs. Other) and activity level (Active vs. Inactive) of the fictitious clients. The reports included identifying data, referral reason, background information, behavior observations, psychological test interpretations, and summary. Subjects diagnosed the reports according to the typology of the American Psychiatric Association's DSM-II. Usable data were obtained from 60 psychologists. The cases elicited a wide variety of diagnostic labels. Data were arranged in 56 frequency count tables (14 hypotheses on each of the four cases), and were analyzed with the chi-square test, with alpha = .05. Two significant relationships between religious variables and diagnosis were found. Because of the number of analyses performed, these were viewed as chance findings. In addition, the distributions of diagnoses in eight categories across all four cases were visually inspected according to the religious affiliations of the clinicians making the diagnoses and the clients being diagnosed. This procedure also failed to produce evidence of religious bias. It was concluded that formal diagnoses of clients made by psychologists in Utah are not influenced by psychologist or client religion, or by interactions between the two, when diagnoses are compressed into broad categories.

title: Variables Associated with Fluctuations in Response Time on the Rorschach Test
Creators: name: Gregg, Dean L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1978

description: A sample of 61 subjects from an introductory psychology class was administered a battery of psychological tests, among them the Rorschach and the MMPI.
The purpose was to determine the behavioral correlates, if any, of the two Rorschach variables, Mean Reaction Time, and Fluctuation in Time of First Response. This was accomplished by using multivariate statistical techniques, i.e. a factor analysis followed by a stepwise multiple regression.
The results were ambiguous. While not statistically significant, they suggest that the MMPI variables of Social Introversion and Psychopathic Deviant are more closely related to the two dependent variables than previous literature would suggest. One variable, anxiety, which has been shown by previous research to be associated with Mean Reaction Time, was found to be not associated by the present investigation. Explanations and suggestions for further research were discussed.

title: The Effect of Inescapable Shock on Competitive Dominance in Rats
Creators: name: Cheney, Pamela A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1978

description: Experimental examination of the generality of learned helplessness has previously been confined to treatment and tests employing aversive motivators, such as electric shock. In the present study, rats were used to evaluate the effect of inescapable shock on their performance in a water test of competitive dominance which employs no aversive motivator. The subjects were paired and pre-tested for competitive dominance. In the experimental groups one member of each pair was treated with inescapable shock and the pairs were then post-tested for competitive dominance either 48, 72, or 168 hours after treatment. The control subjects were pre- and post-tested with no treatment intervening. Competitive dominance ranks were assigned to subjects after each test. Rank differences from pre- to post-test were analyzed for treated and control subjects. Controls showed no shifts in dominance from pre- to post-test, while significant shifts toward subordination appeared in all three experimental groups. No treated subjects showed shifts toward dominance. Significant pre- to post-test differences in drinking time were produced in all treatment groups, with the greatest difference at 72 hours after treatment. These results parallel those of Glazer and Weiss (1976) for escape time latencies at different times of posttreatment testing. The results of the present study, in contrast to those of Glazer and Weiss, cannot be accounted for by the principles of stimulus control. Instead, they support the claim of Maier and Seligman (1976) for considerable generality to the effect of learned helplessness, though the generality observed in this study is not explained by current principles of learning theory.

title: The Development of a Values Assessment Device Based Upon the Assumptions Underlying the Direct Approach to Moral Education
Creators: name: Larsen, Todd Scott
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1980

description: The purposes of the present research were two-fold. The first purpose was the development of a test construction strategy by which an objective assessment device, based upon the unique goals of moral education within a specific school district, may be developed. The second purpose was the actual development of a psychometrically sound instrument based upon such goals. To accomplish these aims, seven interrelated studies were conducted involving a total of 775 subjects.
The rationale for the nature of the test was based upon the assumptions of the direct approach to moral education. These assumptions are that children should learn and exemplify in their behavior certain values that are viewed by the community as essential to adequate socialization. Such values have been indentified by educators of the Salt Lake City School District. Therefore, the goal of measurement was the development of a test that would discriminate students who exemplify these values in their behavior from. those students who do not. The instrument was developed for the assessment of groups to aid curriculum evaluation in moral education. Disclaimers are made regarding the assessment of individuals using the instrument.
The reported studies concerning the development of the test include: (1) the intial writing and field testing of the hypothetical dilemmas and alternative solutions used in the test, (2) the revision of the test based upon the field testing, (3) the item analysis and validation procedures, (4) the cross-validation of selected items, (5) an analysis of the content validity of the dilemmas that compose the test, (6) the establishment of the reliability of the test, and (7) an assessment of the effects of socially desirable response sets on test scores. In addition, normative data regarding test scores for each grade tested and a parent group were presented.
The instrument developed through these procedures is an objective group test, applicable to grades 5 through 12. A content validity study provided reasonable evidence that the dilemmas that compose the test are logically related to the value goals proposed by district personnel. Studies of the reliability of the test revealed reliability coefficients from .82 (stability) to .92 (internal consistency). The concurrent validity of the test was established by selecting items that discriminated between groups of students who were identified as either exemplary of the district values or non-exemplary of the district values. These items were then successfully cross - validated on an independent sample of similar criterion groups. In addition, two studies related to the effects of socially desirable response sets on test scores were conducted.
The limitations of the present research are discussed and suggestions for further research regarding the instrument are made.

description: Documentation of works: Up to this stage my development in ceramics has been somewhat fragmented and technically oriented. I intend to use the Masters Programme to bind together these ceramic experiences to produce a cohesive body of work. Using various techniques such as moulding, slip casting, throwing and handbuilding, I will be developing the work in two streams of thought and practice. One stream will concern itself with issues relating directly to my personal experiences, covering areas of human discrimination. As a starting point, issues such as racial prejudice and famine will be explored. Scale of the work will vary according to needs and questions of presentation and manner of statement, i.e. subtle or aggressive, are of concern at the moment. The second stream of work will concern itself with the traditional practices of form, decoration and scale using both high and low fired techniques. The two streams will not develop in isolation to each other and may cross at times. Both streams will continue to explore my interests in a number of techniques that are relevant to the ideas.
title: The Modification of Emotionally Disturbed Behavior Through Teacher and Peer Training
Creators: name: Kaeck, Daniel James
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1978

description: The purpose of the present investigation was to develop and field test a practical program for the mainstreaming of behaviorally disturbed childred into regular fifth-grade classrooms. The 10-day training program emphasized the training of both teachers and peers as therapeutic agents. It focused upon the teachers' behaviors in terms of establishing classroom rules, praising and ignoring, minimizing reprimands, individualizing instruction, and providing ix naturally-occurring reinforcers to the children. The program enlisted the aid of the peers in terms of utilizing them as tutors, models, and as reinforcing agents or therapists. The children were taught to self-monitor their attention to appropriate and inappropriate behaviors and role playing techniques were used. Multiple baseline designs were used to assess the effects of intervention in five classrooms and on the target behaviors of ten children identified as emotionally disturbed. Treatment effects were replicated across students and teachers in three experiments. Substantial reductions in inappropriate behaviors were obtained while significant academic gains in reading and math were fostered. The results indicated that this approach was effective, efficient, and suitable for a variety of elementary classrooms.

description: We present observations of the 9.8 s X-ray pulsar XTE J1859+083 made with the ASM and PCA on board RXTE, and the WFC on board BeppoSAX. The ASM data cover a 12 year time interval and show that an extended outburst occurred between approximately MJD 50,250 and 50,460 (1996 June 16 to 1997 January 12). The ASM data excluding this outburst interval suggest a possible modulation with a period of 60.65 +/- 0.08 days. Eighteen sets of PCA observations were obtained over an approximately one month interval in 1999. The flux variability measured with the PCA appears consistent with the possible period found with the ASM. The PCA measurements of the pulse period showed it to decrease non-monotonically and then to increase significantly. Doppler shifts due to orbital motion rather than accretion torques appear to be better able to explain the pulse period changes. Observations with the WFC during the extended outburst give a position which is consistent with a previously determined PCA error box, but which has a significantly smaller error. The transient nature of XTE J1859+083 and the length of its pulse period are consistent with it being a Be/neutron star binary. The possible 60.65 day orbital period would be of the expected length for a Be star system with a 9.8 s pulse period.

Control system design applications with hybrid genetic algorithms
Creators: name: Dirita, Vito
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis investigates the hybrid application of stochastic and heuristic algorithms, in particular genetic algorithms (GA), simulated annealing (SA) and Greedy search algorithms for the design of linear and nonlinear control systems. We compare the rate of convergence, computational effort required (FLOPS) and ease of implementation. Where possible, results are compared with the more traditional control system design methodologies. Two specific practical applications include aircraft flight control systems, and a nonlinear example of an industrial bioreactor fermentation process. Stochastic algorithms (GA) and heuristic algorithms (SA, Greedy, Tabu search) are powerful search methods, capable of locating the global minimum or maximum (extremum) of multimodal functions. They operate without the need for function gradients and are robust to noisy data. The current research trend is directed towards the solution to constrained multiobjective optimization problems of multimodal functions which may result in a family of optimal solutions (i.e Pareto optimal set) and game theoretic approaches such as Nash and Stackelberg Equilibria. Genetic algorithms suffer from one particular drawback, the rate of convergence can be unacceptably slow if accurate solutions are sought. To overcome this deficiency, hybridization of genetic algorithms with fast local search procedures are often used. Two heuristic based search procedures are: greedy search and fast simulated annealing. We investigate three types of Hybrid algorithms: (i) genetic algorithms (GA), (ii) hybrid GA + simulated annealing (SA), and (iii) hybrid GA + greedy search. These methods are applied to solving off-line linear and nonlinear control problems which may otherwise have no direct analytical solution. In cases where solutions are obtainable using conventional methods, results are compared with hybrid algorithms. Robustness against modeling errors, nonlinearities, disturbances and parametric uncertainty will also be discussed. We investigate five specific design applications, these include: training radial basis function (RBF) neural networks, robust eigenstructure assignment (ESA), model reference adaptive control (MRAC), robust mixed H2/H00 design, and lastly fault detection and isolation (FDI). We show that hybrid algorithms can perform better, can handle a broader class of problems, and have fewer restrictions than conventional methods. Furthermore, stochastic and heuristic methods can directly deal with constraints.
title: The Relationship Between Goal Attainment and Self Concept for Assertive Training Groups
Creators: name: Peterson, Lori
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1978

description: The objective of this research was to investigate the relationship between self-concept and goal attainment for assertive training groups. To determine if self-concept is related to the extent to which one's goals are attained was of major interest. Another purpose was to determine if self-concept measures increase as a result of participation in group assertive training.
Subjects were 67 volunteers, students from Utah State University, and Cache Valley, Utah, community members.
Subjects were administered as pretests and posttests the Tennessee Self Concept Scale and the Goal Attainment Scaling procedures including the Behavioral Monitoring Progress Record.
Three groups were formed: 1) AT I, a self-directed assertive training group, 2) AT II, a directed, goal-oriented assertive training group, and 3) a no-treatment control group. Four assertive training sessions were conducted and posttesting was completed.
Two correlations were computed: 1) the pretest TSCS scores were correlated with the GAS scores, and 2) the posttest TSCS scores were correlated with the GAS scores. A test of significance between correlation coefficients was applied to the two correlation coefficients obtained. The two correlations were not significantly different at the .05 significance level suggesting that the extent to which goals are attained is not related to self-concept for the two assertive training groups.
Increases from the TSCS pretest to posttest for each assertive training group were significant as indicated by the analysis of variance for repeated measures. The experience of participating in both assertive training groups was suggested as effecting positive changes in self-concept.
Structural studies of nitrogen, oxygen and halogen compounds

description: The interaction of nitrogen oxides N₂O, NO, N₂O₃, NO₂(N₂O₄) and N₂O₅ and the oxyhalides NOC1 and NO₂C1 with peroxydisulphuryldifluoride S₂O₆F₂ and bromine (1) fluorosulphate is studied under various conditions. The solid compounds NOSO₃F and NO₂SO₃F obtained were investigated via vibrational spectroscopy and solution studies. The non-spherical cations are found to cause a splitting of the E modes in S0₃F⁻ ion. Subsequently a whole range of fluoro complexes with nitrogen heterocations were studied and their vibrational spectra recorded. These include the cations NO⁺ , NO₂⁺ , N₂F₃⁺ and ONF₂⁺ and the anions AsF₆⁻ , SbF₆⁻, Sb₂F₁₁⁻ and SnF₆²⁻ . Noticeable anion-cation interaction appears to be absent for these compounds even though some minor departures from ideal behaviour are noted such as the splitting of degenerate modes for the octahedral anion (e.g. v₅F₂g). Vibrational frequencies for the N₂F₃⁺ and ONF₂⁺ cations have been assigned. The vibrational spectra of covalent fluorosulphates such as halogen fluorosulphates (where Hal = F, C1, Br), Br(0S0₂F) ₂⁻, CF₃S0₃F, NF₂SO₃F and S₂O₆F₂ are recorded. The halogen fluorosulphates have Cs symmetry, whereas C₂ symmetry is indicated for S₂O₆F₂. Finally ¹⁴N chemical shifts of some nitrogen-oxygen and halogen compounds have been measured and reported. It is found that the variation in the chemical shifts of these compounds is either due to the changes in the orbital angular momentum, or to the presence of low lying excited states or to a combination of both these effects.

Prediction of parameters to avoid vehicle roll over using neural networks
Creators: name: Cunningham, Helen Jean
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: There is a need for reliable automotive performance. While automotive engineers are highly trained mechanical engineers, there is a requirement to keep abreast of the emerging technologies such as neural networks or fast-converging algorithms. Any significant or radical change comes about through multi-disciplinary interaction. Emerging technologies such as evolutionary algorithms, neural networks and fuzzy logic are constantly applied to more diverse technological applications. From automotive industry point of view, continual attempts are made to build models to avoid vehicle roll over. While highly advanced automotive manufacturers are carrying out such research, very little or no results are available in the public domain. In this thesis, critical parameters responsible for vehicle roll over will be identified and predicted. As part of the model verification, a hardware comprising of a Formula SAE race-car, sensory technology and instrumentation will be developed. This thesis highlights successful application of roll-over parameters namely longitudinal velocity, v, and vehicle roll angle, ‚àÜvºr. This prediction is seen as a step towards identifying online warning systems for roll over detection and subsequent control systems to avoid roll over.

description: We have performed a wide-area ultraviolet (UV) imaging survey using the GALaxy Evolution eXplorer (GALEX) to search for bright, point-like UV sources behind M31's extended halo. Our survey consisted of 46 pointings covering an effective area of ~50 deg^2, in both the far-UV and near-UV channels. We combined these data with optical R-band observations acquired with the WIYN Mosaic-1 imager on the Kitt Peak National Observatory 0.9m WIYN telescope. An analysis of the brightness and colors of sources matched between our photometric catalogs yielded ~100 UV-bright quasar candidates. We have obtained discovery spectra for 76 of these targets with the Kast spectrometer on the Lick 3m telescope and confirm 30 active galactic nuclei and quasars, 29 galaxies at z > 0.02 including several early-type systems, 16 Galactic stars (hot main-sequence stars), and one featureless source previously identified as a BL Lac object. Future UV spectroscopy of the brightest targets with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph on the Hubble Space Telescope will enable a systematic search for diffuse gas in the extended halo of M31.

description: The presence of electric currents in the atmospheres of magnetic chemically peculiar (mCP) stars could bring important theoretical constrains about the nature and evolution of magnetic field in these stars. The Lorentz force, which results from the interaction between the magnetic field and the induced currents, modifies the atmospheric structure and induces characteristic rotational variability of pressure-sensitive spectroscopic features, that can be analysed using phase-resolved spectroscopic observations. In this work we continue the presentation of results of the magnetic pressure studies in mCP stars focusing on the high-resolution spectroscopic observations of Bp star 56Ari. We have detected a significant variability of the Halpha, Hbeta, and Hgamma spectral lines during full rotation cycle of the star. Then these observations are interpreted in the framework of the model atmosphere analysis, which accounts for the Lorentz force effects. We used the LLmodels stellar model atmosphere code for the calculation of the magnetic pressure effects in the atmosphere of 56Ari taking into account realistic chemistry of the star and accurate computations of the microscopic plasma properties. The Synth3 code was employed to simulate phase-resolved variability of Balmer lines. We demonstrate that the model with the outward-directed Lorentz force in the dipole+quadrupole configuration is likely to reproduce the observed hydrogen lines variation. These results present strong evidences for the presence of non-zero global electric currents in the atmosphere of this early-type magnetic star.

Fundamental Human Rights and Gender Violence in Greece
Creators: name: SAMALTANOS, ANDREAS

description: Gender violence is distinguished as a phenomenon that is in the human entity, which produces crucial effects. From antiquity to the present day there are reports, which demonstrate the phenomenon of violence. The range of references ranges from ancient Greek texts to religious texts, such as those made through the Old Testament. (Katsos, 2019). Gender-based violence is a social problem and is characterized as a crime (Government Gazette 232/A/24-10-2006, 2006) whether it is verbal, physical or mental health. The purpose of any favored society is to seek to abolish inequalities, social exclusion and to highlight fundamental human rights, dignity and security. Pillars, through which the factors are highlighted, for the starting point of a safe and vision of a society, as the dignity of man does not need any thought of violation. On the contrary, the ultimate goal is to establish rights in the context of freedoms and security (Μap of the Fundamental Rights of the European Union, 2012).
The social behaviour and captive management of Bennett's wallabies, Macropus rufogriseus rufogriseus

description: The Bennett's wallaby, Macropus rufogriseus rufogriseus, is frequently exhibited in wildlife parks and zoos in Australia and overseas. The social behaviour of the Bennett's wallaby was investigated and its role in developing captive management strategies was considered. A questionnaire was mailed to 31 wildlife parks and zoos within Australia and New Zealand to collect information on current husbandry practices and to provide a basis for experimental manipulations of a captive group. A comprehensive behavioural inventory was compiled using observations of captive Bennett's wallabies at Bonorong Wildlife Park and the University of Tasmania, as well as wild wallabies at Coal Mines Nature Reserve on the Tasman Peninsula and Mt Field National Park in south-eastern Tasmania. Wallabies at the university enclosure devoted the greatest portion of both the day and night time browsing or attending feeding stations, although more time was devoted to browsing during the day and feeding at night.. Alert postures were sustained for longer periods during the day than at night. These activities were alternated with long and frequent periods of resting. Social interactions of any kind were rarely observed, particularly during the daytime. The collection of Bennett's wallabies established at the University of Tasmania were utilised in experimental manipulations examining the effects of varying the number and position of feeding stations available, stocking rates and the age and gender of group members on the frequencies of performing elements of behaviour and occupying sectors of the enclosure. When four feeders were spaced throughout the 1000 m2 of the enclosure wallabies occupied more sectors, were more active and interacted significantly more often than when feeders were positioned near to each other or their numbers reduced. When stocked at rates of three, six or nine animals per 1000 m2 , wallabies were more visible and active and interacted amicably more frequently at the medium stocking rate than at other times. When more adults were included in the captive group than members of other age classes, the proportion of time that wallabies were hidden from view in refuges within enclosure vegetation slightly increased but was offset by increased activity at other times, when wallabies alternated browsing and feeding with the adoption of alert postures, increased locomotory activity, more grooming and a greater number of social interactions. These findings were used as a basis from which were developed principles of best practice in the captive management of Bennett's wallabies and other macropodoids.
Genome mapping of Eucalyptus globulus

description: This thesis covers the construction of genetic linkage maps of two Eucalyptus globulus parental trees (chapter 2), the detection of quantitative trait loci (QTL) carried out using these linkage maps (chapter 3) and a genetic analysis of rooting ability of micropropagated cuttings from two E. globulus families (chapter 4). Genetic linkage maps of two parent trees were constructed using 326 RAPD and 21 microsatellite markers. At a LOD score threshold of 4.9 for grouping and 3.0 for marker ordering, the male parent had 13 linkage groups consisting of 101 framework markers and the female parent had 11 linkage groups with 97 framework markers. Even though both parents originated from the same provenance it was found that polymorphic RAPD markers were readily detectable. Linkages between microsatellites previously reported for E. grandis/E. urophylla were conserved in the E. globulus cross. Segregation distortion of markers was found to be more prevalent than expected by chance. The linkage maps were used to detect QTLs based on 155 progeny grown in field trials. Twelve traits were included in the QTL analysis. These included: wood density (Pilodyn penetration), extent of early flowering (bud abundance), and growth (height at years one and two, stem diameter at years two, three, four and six, and relative incremental growth between years one and two, two and four, and four and six). Using interval mapping a total of eight QTL with LOD score peaks over 2.0 were detected, corresponding to seven map intervals. QTL detected included: two for cumulative growth; two for wood density; one for early flowering and three for relative incremental growth. Since the 155 progeny trees were grown at seven trial sites, an analysis of marker by site interaction was carried out with more marker by site interactions being found than expected by chance. Markers with significant QTL effects were examined for interaction with site with both of the cumulative growth QTL found to have significant site interaction. QTL stability with age was also analysed for these QTL, and both growth QTL were found to have a detectable association with the first measurements of height and diameter. A study of the rooting ability of cuttings grown in tissue culture from two families of E. globulus was undertaken with the aim of detecting QTLs for this trait. The two families were found to have significantly different rooting abilities indicating that genetic variation for the trait was present. Estimates of variance components relating to genetic and environmental effects indicated that within both families the variance due to genetic effects was small compared to the environmental variance with clonal repeatabilities of 0.17 and 0.14 for the two families. These estimates were used in power calculations based on t-tests of single markers under some simple assumptions. However even under optimistic circumstances the power for QTL detection was found to be too low to warrant the time and expense of genotyping required for QTL analysis.

description: This paper gives some examples of hypersurfaces $ϕ_t(M^n)$ evolving in time with speed determined by functions of the normal curvatures in an $(n+1)$-dimensional hyperbolic manifold; we emphasize the case of flow by harmonic mean curvature. The examples converge to a totally geodesic submanifold of any dimension from 1 to $n$, and include cases which exist for infinite time. Convergence to a point was studied by Andrews, and only occurs in finite time. For dimension $n=2,$ the destiny of any harmonic mean curvature flow is strongly influenced by the genus of the surface $M^2$.

description: We explore the ability of high energy observations to constrain orbital parameters of long period massive binary systems by means of an inverse Compton model acting in colliding wind environments. This is particular relevant for (very) long period binaries where orbital parameters are often poorly known from conventional methods, as is the case e.g. for the Wolf-Rayet (WR) star binary system WR 147 where INTEGRAL and MAGIC upper limits on the high-energy emission have recently been presented. We conduct a parameter study of the set of free quantities describing the yet vaguely constrained geometry and respective effects on the non-thermal high-energy radiation from WR 147. The results are confronted with the recently obtained high-energy observations and with sensitivities of contemporaneous high-energy instruments like Fermi-LAT. For binaries with sufficient long periods, like WR 147, gamma-ray attenuation is unlikely to cause any distinctive features in the high-energy spectrum. This leaves the anisotropic inverse Compton scattering as the only process that reacts sensitively on the line-of-sight angle with respect to the orbital plane, and therefore allows the deduction of system parameters even from observations not covering a substantial part of the orbit. Provided that particle acceleration acts sufficiently effectively to allow the production of GeV photons through inverse Compton scattering, our analysis indicates a preference for WR 147 to possess a large inclination angle. Otherwise, for low inclination angles, electron acceleration is constrained to be less efficient as anticipated here.
