description: We present a numerical study of the impact of AGN accretion and feedback on the star formation history of barred disc galaxies. Our goal is to determine whether the effect of feedback is positive (enhanced star formation) or negative (quenched star formation), and to what extent. We performed a series of 12 hydrodynamical simulations of disc galaxies, 10 barred and 2 unbarred, with various initial gas fractions and AGN feedback prescriptions. In barred galaxies, gas is driven toward the centre of the galaxy and causes a starburst, followed by a slow decay, while in unbarred galaxies the SFR increases slowly and steadily. AGN feedback suppresses star formation near the central black hole. Gas is pushed away from the black hole, and collides head-on with inflowing gas, forming a dense ring at a finite radius where star formation is enhanced. We conclude that both negative and positive feedback are present, and these effects mostly cancel out. There is no net quenching or enhancement in star formation, but rather a displacement of the star formation sites to larger radii. In unbarred galaxies, where the density of the central gas is lower, quenching of star formation near the black hole is more efficient, and enhancement of star formation at larger radii is less efficient. As a result, negative feedback dominates. Lowering the gas fraction reduces the star formation rate at all radii, whether or not there is a bar or an AGN.

description: With the growing attention on alternative tourism activities and environmental protection, rural tourism has become one of the most attractive tourism typesover the last decade, and many more studies have been conducted in the field of rural tourism development and in all other aspects except the importance of countryside restaurants (CSRs).Nevertheless, we see that only a few studies concerning CSRs exist in the current literature. However, CSRs are an important part of rural tourism with their specific service standards including indigenous food & beverages, high customer satisfaction as a result of individual service and a natural & attractive atmosphere. Thus, the prior aim of this study is to stress the importance of CSRs and how those establishments contribute to the development of rural tourism. Within this scope, the study isconducted on 12 CSRs operating in Muğla and a semi-structured interview technique is used as a part of qualitative analysis. As a result it‟s concluded that CSRs contribute to rural tourism by respecting-protecting and landscaping the nature, by serving local dishes made by indigenous crops, by employing locals and by supplying local foods. Finally, some suggestions are made in order to improve CSRs contribution level and rural tourism development within a managerial perspective.
Quantum radiation from an evaporating non-singular black hole

description: In this paper we study quantum radiation from an evaporating spherically symmetric non-singular black hole. We used a modified Hayward metric for a description of a non-singular black hole. We assume that the mass parameter of this metric depends on the advanced time, and choose this dependence so that it properly reproduces both black hole formation and its subsequent evaporation. We consider a quantum massless scalar field propagating in this geometry and use 2D approximation for the calculation of the quantum average of the stress-energy tensor. For the calculation of this quantity it is sufficient to find a map between the Killing times $u_+$ and $u_-$ at the future and past null infinities, established by the propagation of the radial null rays. In this formalism the quantum energy flux at the future null infinity can be expressed in terms of the function $u_+(u_-)$ and its derivatives. We developed a special formalism, which allows one to reduce the problem of the calculation of the quantum energy flux and other observables to a solution of a simple set of ordinary differential equations. We used this approach to study quantum effects in two cases: i) with the trivial, $α=1$ and ii) the non-trivial, $α\ne1$, redshift function. In both cases there exists an outburst of the quantum energy radiation from the inner domain of the black hole, close to the inner part of its apparent horizon. For $α=1$ this outburst is exponentially large. It is a direct consequence of the so-called mass inflation effect. We showed, that this severe problem can be solved by a proper choice of the redshift function. However, even in this case the emitted energy can be much larger than the initial mass of the evaporating black hole. This means that for a construction of a self-consistent model of a non-singular evaporating black hole the back-reaction effects are highly important.

description: Rapid development of technology has caused a dramatic change at marketing and purchase types of products in the last 20 years. This change which is also characterized by the growing rates of internet usage and online sales has affected hotel enterprises like all other business. Especially, intensive usage and accessibility of internet has established a dynamic web based platform where the hotel enterprises can easily market their services in which the consumers can access those services quickly, easily and cheaply. These web-based platforms named as on-line sales channels (OSCs) show an upward trend as an alternative to traditional marketing. However, today OSCs have become comparable for both end-users and channel managers as a result of the growing number of such platforms. And this fact has made the knowledge standardization obligatory in terms of marketing ethics, marketing style and on-line sales agreement. At this point, Channel Manager System (CMS) has become as a way of knowledge standardization for the hotel enterprises. Usage of CMS has made the management of relevant processes easier by enabling fast & easy update of necessary information, pictures, daily activities and prices in hotels. Within this context, this study examines contributions and amenities of CMS in terms of OSCs with an application which is currently used in a thermal hotel.

description: Orange protein (OR) is known to interact with phytoene synthase (PSY) that commits the first step in carotenoid biosynthesis, and functions as a major post-transcriptional regulator on PSY. We here tried to reveal enzymatic characteristics of OR, that is, protein disulfide reductase (PDR) activity of the Arabidopsis thaliana OR protein (AtOR) was analyzed using dieosin glutathione disulfide (Di-E-GSSG) as a substrate. The AtOR part containing only the zinc (Zn)-finger motif was found to show PDR activity, with an apparent Km of 12,632 nM, Kcat of 11.85 min−1, and KcatKm−1 of 15.6 × 103 M−1sec−1. To evaluate the significance of the N-terminal region of AtOR, we examined the kinetic parameters of a fusion protein composed of the N-terminal region and the Zn-finger motif from AtOR. Consequently, the fusion protein had lower values for Km (2,074 nM) and Kcat (3.18 min−1) and higher catalytic efficiency (25.9 × 103 M−1sec−1) than that of only the Zn-finger motif part, suggesting that the N-terminal region of AtOR should be important for substrate affinity and catalytic efficiency of PDR activity. Complementation experiments with E. coli further demonstrated that AtOR containing the N-terminal region and the Zn-finger motif increases phytoene synthase activity of AtPSY especially under reduced circumstances retaining a NADPH- and H+-regeneration system.

description: The ever-increasing global human population as well as the expanding urbanisation and industrialization have resulted in numerous challenges for the environment. Solid waste generation and employing sustainable waste management strategies are the important issues which have become controversial challenges worldwide. Australia is among the countries with the highest rates of waste generation per capita and New South Wales (NSW), with the most population, is responsible for more than one third of whole waste generated in this country. NSW is currently facing serious issues in waste management. The aim of this study was to evaluate energy generation and greenhouse gases (GHG) emission reduction potentials from waste to energy (WtE) technologies in NSW. In addition, waste management policies and legislation in NSW were reviewed and transportation of waste, interstate, as one of their consequences was assessed. The results indicated that, by employing a combination of incineration and anaerobic digestion for landfill waste in NSW, about 50 PJ of energy could be generated; this is equivalent to around 3.4 % of total energy consumption in NSW and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). Simultaneously, GHG emissions would be reduced by about 900,000 tonnes CO2 eq. However, Current transportation of waste to Queensland accounts for GHG emissions of about 208 kg CO2 eq per tonne of waste. These findings show that to efficiently employ WtE strategies, some policies and legislation need reconsideration, like those related to levies, which should be harmonized at a national level. Furthermore, new legislation and incentives should be introduced in order to properly deal with exploiting energy from waste through incineration technology and anaerobic digestion, to keep organic waste out of landfills. Ultimately, strict supervision and rigorous enforcement is needed to ensure that the laws are obeyed.
Growth dynamics of turbulent spots in plane Couette flow

description: We experimentally and numerically investigate the temporal aspects of turbulent spots spreading in a plane Couette flow for transitional Reynolds numbers between 300 and 450. Spot growth rate, spot advection rate and large-scale flow intensity are measured as a function of time and Reynolds number. All these quantities show similar dynamics clarifying the role played by large-scale flows in the advection of the turbulent spot. The contributions of each possible growth mechanism: growth induced by large scale advection or growth by destabilization, are discussed for the different stages of the spot growth. A scenario which gathers all these elements is providing a better understanding of the growth dynamics of turbulent spots in plane Couette flow that should possibly apply to other extended shear flows.
Cybercrime to cyberwar: changing strategic perceptions of cyber security in Australia
Creators: name: Delavere, Sara
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Over the past 20 years, there have been significant changes in Australia's approach to cyber security policy. While information security had been a concern for Defence and industry across the late 20th century, the 2000 Defence White Paper was the first policy to address cyber crime as an issue for national security. Since 2000, cyber capability has taken a leading role, with both offensive and defensive cyber capability at the forefront of Australia's long-term defence planning. Drawing on an analysis of Australia's publicly available Federal Government policies, this thesis argues that between 2000 and 2019 there has been a major shift in discourses around cyber security, from that of a policing framework, to a national security framework. Furthermore, this thesis argues that these discourses actively shape law enforcement responses to cyber threats across both industry and government. This is demonstrated through a comparative analysis of two case studies, the Joint Banking and Finance Sector Investigations Team of 2004 and the Joint Cyber Security Centre initiative of 2018.

description: We review the definition of hypergroups by Sunder, and we associate a hypergroup to a type III subfactor $N\subset M$ of finite index, whose canonical endomorphism $γ\in\mathrm{End}(M)$ is multiplicity-free. It is realized by positive maps of $M$ that have $N$ as fixed points. If the depth is $>2$, this hypergroup is different from the hypergroup associated with the fusion algebra of $M$-$M$ bimodules that was Sunder's original motivation to introduce hypergroups. We explain how the present hypergroup, associated with a suitable subfactor, controls the composition of transparent boundary conditions between two isomorphic quantum field theories, and that this generalizes to a hypergroupoid of boundary conditions between different quantum field theories sharing a common subtheory.

description: For the family $P:=x^n+a_1x^{n-1}+\cdots +a_n$ of complex polynomials in the variable $x$ we study its {\em discriminant} $R:=$Res$(P,P',x)$, $R\in \mathbb{C}[a]$, $a=(a_1,\ldots ,a_n)$. When $R$ is regarded as a polynomial in $a_k$, one can consider its discriminant $\tilde{D}_k:=$Res$(R,\partial R/\partial a_k,a_k)$. We show that $\tilde{D}_k=c_k(a_n)^{d(n,k)}M_k^2T_k^3$, where $c_k\in \mathbb{Q}^*$, $d(n,k):=\min (1,n-k)+\max (0,n-k-2)$, the polynomials $M_k,T_k\in \mathbb{C}[a^k]$ have integer coefficients, $a^k=(a_1,\ldots ,a_{k-1},a_{k+1},\ldots ,a_n)$, the sets $\{ M_k=0\}$ and $\{ T_k=0\}$ are the projections in the space of the variables $a^k$ of the closures of the strata of the variety $\{ R=0\}$ on which $P$ has respectively two double roots or a triple root. Set $P_k:=P-xP'/(n-k)$ for $1\leq k\leq n-1$ and $P_n:=P'$. One has $T_k=${\rm Res}$(P_k,P_k',x)$ for $k\neq n-1$ and $T_{n-1}=${\rm Res}$(P_{n-1},P_{n-1}',x)/a_n$.

description: An experiment conducted in the framework of the EUHIT project and designed to characterize large scale structures in an adverse pressure gradient boundary layer flow is presented. Up to 16 sCMOS cameras were used in order to perform large scale turbulent boundary layer PIV measurements with a large field of view and appropriate spatial resolution. To access the span-wise / wall-normal signature of the structures as well, stereoscopic PIV measurements in span-wise/wall-normal planes were performed at specific stream-wise locations. To complement these large field of view measurements, long-range micro-PIV, time resolved near wall velocity profiles and film-based measurements were performed in order to determine the wall-shear stress and its fluctuations at some specific locations along the model.

Zeno chattering of rigid bodies with multiple point contacts

description: Ideally rigid objects establish sustained contact with one another via complete chatter (a.k.a. Zeno behavior), i.e. an infinite sequence of collisions accumulating in finite time. Alternatively, such systems may also exhibit a finite sequence of collisions followed by separation (sometimes called incomplete chatter). Earlier works concerning the chattering of slender rods in two dimensions determined the exact range of model parameters, where complete chatter is possible. We revisit and slightly extend these results. Then the bulk of the paper examines the chattering of three-dimensional objects with multiple points hitting an immobile plane almost simultaneously. In contrast to rods, the motion of these systems is complex, nonlinear, and sensitive to initial conditions and model parameters due to the possibility of various impact sequences. These difficulties explain why we model this phenomenon as a nondeterministic discrete dynamical system. We simplify the analysis by assuming linearized kinematics, frictionless interaction, by neglecting the effect of external forces, and by investigating objects with rotational symmetry. Application and extension of the theory of common invariant cones of multiple linear operators enable us to find sufficient conditions of the existence of initial conditions, which give rise to complete chatter. Additional analytical and numerical investigations predict that our sufficient conditions are indeed exact, moreover solving a simple eigenvalue problem appears to be enough to judge the possibility of complete chatter. \keywords{contact dynamics \and chattering \and Zeno behavior \and common invariant cone

description: Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is an important crop that possesses about 35,000 genes. The treatment of plants with elicitors or pathogen attacks causes a cascade of defense reactions. We investigated tomato responses to the BamFXTM solution containing Zn and Cu elicitors and report the results of comparative transcriptome analysis of tomato seeds treated with Zn and Cu elicitors. The seeds were treated with optimum concentrations of Bam-FX solutions and subjected to cold methanolic extraction methods to obtain the secondary metabolites produced within them at different time intervals post-Bam-FX treatment. The metabolite mixture was analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS). In transcriptome sequencing, GO and KEGG analyses revealed that the majority of the DEGs in BamFx-treated tomato was associated with primary and secondary metabolism, plant hormone signal transduction, TF regulation, transport, and responses to stimuli.The secondary metabolites found in the BamFX treated tomato seedlings – Esters of Fumaric acid, Succinic acid etc. The transcript levels of most auxin transporter-encoding genes changed significantly in the BamFX-treated seedlings (e.g., Solyc01g007010.3, a RING-type E3 ubiquitin transferase). The gene Solyc07g061720.3 for Gibberellin 2-oxidase and the Phorbol-ester/DAG-type domain-containing protein (Solyc02g068680.1) associated with the intracellular signaling genes were found upregulated in the BamFx-treated seeds. The time-dependent effect of the BamFX (1:500 for 60 min) was found to be regulating Abscisic acid signaling pathway genes (Solyc09g015380.1). This study identified many candidate genes for future functional analyses and laid a theoretical foundation for an improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the BamFx treatment of tomatoes to improve stress resistance.

description: The transverse momentum ($p_T$) spectra from heavy-ion collisions at intermediate momenta are described by non-extensive statistical models. Assuming a fixed relative variance of the temperature fluctuating event by event or alternatively a fixed mean multiplicity in a negative binomial distribution (NBD), two different linear relations emerge between the temperature, $T$, and the Tsallis parameter $q-1$. Our results qualitatively agree with that of G.~Wilk. Furthermore we revisit the "Soft+Hard" model, proposed recently by G.~G.~Barnaföldi \textit{et.al.}, by a $T$-independent average $p_T^2$ assumption. Finally we compare results with those predicted by another deformed distribution, using Kaniadakis' $κ$ parametrization.

With reference to the research coming out of the University iof Virginia since 1960, we present reasons to believe that consciousness actually has a non-linear origin. On this view, both science and orthodox Christianity are wrong: consciousness, on this view pre-exists the physical body in a realm that is infinite, not in the sense of being interminably long, but in the sense of transcending time (eternal). Judging by the empirical evidence, individual loci of consciousness are able to periodically enter and exit the linear temporal realm of our everyday experience like a person entering and exiting a room.

Non-Abelian strings in N=1 supersymmetric QCD

description: Non-Abelian flux tubes (strings) are well studied in N=2 supersymmetric QCD in (3+1) dimensions. In addition to translational zero modes they have also orientational moduli associated with rotations of their fluxes inside a non-Abelian group. The dynamics of the orientational moduli is described by the two dimensional CP(N-1) model living on the world sheet of the non-Abelian string. In this paper we consider a deformation of N=2 supersymmetric QCD with the U(N) gauge group and N_f=N quark flavors with a mass term $μ$ of the adjoint matter. In the limit of large $μ$ the theory flows to an N=1 supersymmetric QCD. We study the solution for the non-Abelian string in this limit and derive an effective theory on the string world sheet. The bosonic sector of this theory is still given by the CP(N-1) model but its scale is exponentially small as compared to the scale of the four dimensional bulk theory in contrast to the N=2 case where these scales are equal. We study also the fermionic sector of the world sheet theory. Upon the deformation the non-Abelian string is no longer BPS and we show that the fermionic superorientational zero modes are all lifted. This leaves us with the pure bosonic CP(N-1) model on the string world sheet in the limit of N=1 QCD. We also discuss what happens to confined monopoles at large $μ$.

Christians take the view that consciousness survives the death of the brain, but both groups tend to take the view that the origins of consciousness are linear, meaning that consciousness arises with the physical body and the travels on a straight time line for either a finitely or an infinitely long period (scientists say finite, Christians say infinite). With reference to the research coming out of the University iof Virginia since 1960, we present reasons to believe that consciousness actually has a non-linear origin. On this view, both science and orthodox Christianity are wrong: consciousness, on this view pre-exists the physical body in a realm that is infinite, not in the sense of being interminably long, but in the sense of transcending time (eternal). This consciousness is able from the evidence to periodically enter and exit the linear temporal realm of our everyday experience like a person entering and exiting a room.

description: We have performed Raman scattering measurements on URu$_2$Si$_2$ single crystals on a large energy range up to $\sim$ 1300 cm$^{-1}$ and in all the Raman active symmetries as a function of temperature down to 15 K. A large excitation, active only in the E$_{g}$ symmetry, is reported. It has been assigned to a crystal electric field excitation on the Uranium site. We discuss how this constrains the crystal electric field scheme of the Uranium ions. Furthermore, three excitations in the A$_{1g}$ symmetry are observed. They have been associated to double Raman phonon processes consistently with ab initio calculations of the phonons dispersion.

description: Organised sport is a prominent part of contemporary Western childhood, with many families scheduling their leisure time around their children’s sporting endeavours. Children who appear talented in a particular sport and find themselves competing at a representative level require a level of commitment and dedication from their parents that matches their own. The amount of time, money and energy parents are willing to invest in their children’s elite sporting endeavours can be quite substantial; the reasons behind the investment can also be quite complex. This ethnographic study of an Under 13 boys’ elite football team conducted over the course of a season was undertaken with a view to capturing the experience of parenting an elite footballer in Australia. The study documents the social support structures behind the players and questions the innateness of their talent, exposes the hidden costs in the social production of skill, and explores the identities, relationships and conflicts that emerge in the elite youth football setting. Parents play a crucial role in every aspect of the talent identification and development process, be it in introducing their children to a sport, valuing their sporting ability, funding the professional development of their talent, and logistically and emotionally facilitating their realisation of expert performance. A child’s performance on the football pitch was very much a reflection of his parental support. However, a parent’s dedication to their child’s talent was rarely just about the sport.

description: Cadmium (Cd) causes serious damage to plants. Although calcium (Ca) signal has been found to respond to certain stress, the localization of Ca and molecular mechanisms underlying Ca signal in plants during Cd stress are largely unknown. In this study, Ca2+-sensing fluorescent reporter (GCaMP3) transgenic duckweed showed the Ca2+ signal response in Lemna turionifera 5511 (duckweed) during Cd stress. Subsequently, the subcellular localization of Ca2+ has been studied during Cd stress by transmission electron microscopy, showing the accumulation of Ca2+ in vacuoles. Also, Ca2+ flow during Cd stress has been measured. At the same time, the effects of exogenous glutamic acid (Glu) and γ-aminobutyric (GABA) on duckweed can better clarify the signal operation mechanism of plants to Cd stress. The molecular mechanism of Ca2+ signal responsed during Cd stress showed that Cd treatment promotes the positive response of Ca signaling channels in plant cells, and thus affects the intracellular Ca content. These novel signal studies provided an important Ca2+ signal molecular mechanism during Cd stress.

description: This paper explores the dynamics of both neutral as well as charged particles orbiting near a rotating black hole in scalar-tensor-vector gravity. We study the conditions for the particle to escape at the innermost stable circular orbit. We investigate stability of orbits through effective potential and Lyapunov exponent in the presence of magnetic field. The effective force acting on particle is also discussed. We also study the center of mass energy of particle collision near the horizon of this black hole. Finally, we compare our results with the particle motion around Schwarzschild, Kerr and Schwarzschild-MOG black holes. It is concluded that the external magnetic field, spin parameter as well as dimensionless parameter of the theory have strong effects on particle dynamics in modified gravity.

The multimodal construal of English as a global language in Korean EFL textbooks for primary school children

description: The continued rise of English as a global language has led to English as a Foreign Language(EFL) becoming a compulsory primary school subject across many non-English speaking countries.This trend has been accompanied by investment in the development of EFL teaching materials for young learners. Such materials rely heavily on images, with relatively sparse writing in English and the children's first language. While it is commonly acknowledged that teaching concerns not only presenting particular content (e.g. English vocabulary) but also legitimating particular ways of valuing it (e.g. the significance of learning English), little is known about the role that images play in promoting English as a global language in EFL textbooks for children.This study aims to expand existing knowledge in this area by examining EFL textbooks for the year EFL is first introduced as a compulsory primary school subject in South Korea. Specifically,the study analyses multimodal resources to explore the ways in which five EFL textbooks approved by the government for use in Grade 3 address South Korea's primary EFL curriculum requirement to present English as an important bridge connecting different countries. The analysis is based on Kressand van Leeuwen's (2006) grammar of visual design, while Kachru's (1992) three circles model of World Englishes provides a framework for interpreting the findings.A key finding of this study is that images do have the potential to convey ideologies related to the teaching of English as a global language. The present study contributes to an understanding of the ways in which the notion of English as a global language is constructed and produced in multimodal textbook discourse.

description: Atmospheric conditions, such as the pressure (P), temperature (T) or air density ($ρ\propto P/T$), affect the development of extended air showers initiated by energetic cosmic rays. We study the impact of the atmospheric variations on the reconstruction of air showers with data from the arrays of surface detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory, considering separately the one with detector spacings of 1500 m and the one with 750 m spacing. We observe modulations in the event rates that are due to the influence of the air density and pressure variations on the measured signals, from which the energy estimators are obtained. We show how the energy assignment can be corrected to account for such atmospheric effects.

description: The rhizomes and tubers of Curcuma kwangsiensis have extensive medicinal value in China. However, the inflorescences of C. kwangsiensis are rarely known in horticulture, because of its low field flowering rate. In order to improve the flowering rate of C. kwangsiensis, we conducted drought stress treatment on the rhizome of C. kwangsiensis. The flowering rate of rhizome was the highest after 4d of drought stress treatment, and the buds on the rhizome could be obviously swell on the 4th day of rehydration culture. In order to identify the genes regulating the flowering time of Curcuma kwangsiensis, comparative transcriptome analysis was performed on the buds on rhizomes before drought stress treatment, 4 d after drought stress treatment and 4 d after rehydration culture. During this process, a total of 20 DEGs controlling flowering time and 23 DEGs involved in ABA synthesis and signal transduction were identified, which might regulate the flowering of C. kwangsiensis under drought stress. Some floral integration factors, such as SOC1 and FTIP, were up-regulated under drought stress for 4 d, indicating that C. kwangsiensis had flowering trend under drought stress. The results of the present study will provide theoretical support for the application of Curcuma kwangsiensis in gardening.

description: We discuss the influence of rotation on the combined synthesis of Ti44 and Ni56 in massive stars. While Ni56 is significantly produced by both the complete and incomplete explosive Si burning, Ti44 is mainly produced by the complete explosive Si burning, with a minor contribution (in standard non rotating models) from the incomplete explosive Si burning and the O burning (both explosive and hydrostatic). We find that, in most cases, the thickness of the region exposed to the incomplete explosive Si burning increases in rotating models (v_ini=300 km/s) and since Ni56 is significantly produced in this zone, the fraction of mass coming from the complete explosive Si burning zone, necessary to get the required amount of Ni56, reduces. Therefore the amount of Ti44 ejected for a given fixed amount of Ni56 decreases in rotating models. However, some rotating models at [Fe/H]=-1 develop a very extended O convective shell in which a consistent amount of Ti44 is formed, preserved and ejected in the interstellar medium. Hence a better modeling of the thermal instabilities (convection) in the advanced burning phases together with a critical analysis of the cross sections of the nuclear reactions operating in O burning are relevant for the understanding of the synthesis of Ti44.

description: In high-energy physics, particle collisions are modelled by computer programs called "Monte Carlo event generators". Their results can be compared directly to the results of real experiments. The choice between the many possible outcomes of a particle collision is based on random numbers. This game of chance, just as in a casino, is what "Monte Carlo" refers to. Comparisons between the measurements and the output of event generators make the latter a crucial tool for understanding collider physics and build the link between experiment and theory. The thesis aims at providing new models and improvements for event generators.
