A grammar of Gurr-goni (North Central Arnhem land)
Creators: name: Green, Rebecca
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1995
Subjects: Gurr-goni language
Australian languages
Arnhem Land (N.T.)

description: Ch. 1 gives an overview of the Gurr-goni language, its typological characteristics, speakers and genetic relationships. It also covers phonological and morphological preliminaries. Ch. 2 is concerned with the morphology and syntax of nominals. A distinction between nouns and adjectives is established. §2.2 deals with noun class: the parts of speech on which it is registered; the number of noun classes; the membership of each class, and possible categorisation principles; and patterns of agreement. Noun phrases are briefly discussed in §2.3. §2.4 deals with case as a property of the noun phrase, and presents the case forms and functions. Possessive constructions are dealt with in §2.5, and derivational morphology is briefly covered in §2.6. Ch. 3 presents the pronouns, demonstratives, and interrogatives. We discuss the pronominal categories of person, number and gender, and consider the discourse functions of free pronouns. The distinctions encoded by the demonstrative stems are the subject of §3.2, and §3.3 illustrates the use of interrogative/indeterminate forms. Ch. 4 deals with verb morphology. First, an overview of the structure of the verb complex is given. In §4.3, I examine the pronominal prefixes, identifying their component morphemes. For the transitive prefixes, I also justify the recognition of a singular/non-singular number distinction, and elucidate the principles that determine which pronominal participant is overtly marked. §4.4 describes the tense system, which exhibits the rare feature of having the fixed time reference of one tense interrupted by part of the fixed time reference of another. The category of status, often called mood, is discussed in §4.5, while §4.6 covers illocutionary mood (or force). In §4.7, I list the verbal conjugations, established on the basis of the tense/status allomorphs selected. The final sections of Chapter 4 discuss valence changing devices and directional prefixes. Ch. 5 looks at the structure of clauses. In §5.1, I illustrate non-verbal clause types. In §5.2, we turn to simple verbal clauses. I look firstly at the realisation of core arguments (A, S and 0), and briefly consider peripheral arguments. We then consider the evidence for assigning core or non-core status to other arguments. §5.3 deals with serial verb constructions, a pervasive feature of the Gurr-goni language. We distinguish two major types, one which encodes categories of associated motion and aspect, and one which has 'experiencer' and causative functions. In §5.4, I suggest that a parallel construction may exist, in which the first predicate is a nominal. Moving from simple and complex single clauses, we tum in §5.5 to co-ordination of clauses, and in §5.6 to subordination. Chapter 5 concludes with a discussion of negation (§5.7) and questions (§5.8).

description: We present an optical spectroscopic and imaging study of the environments of a complete sample of moderate-redshift, bent-double radio sources. More than half of the forty radio galaxies in the sample are associated with Abell richness class 0 or greater clusters at z<0.4. Most of the remaining objects are associated with groups, although a few appear to be hosted by nearly isolated elliptical galaxies. For the bent doubles appearing in poor environments, either dense gas must be associated with the systems to provide the ram pressure to bend the lobes, or alternative bending mechanisms will have to be invoked to explain the radio morphologies. Correlation with the ROSAT All Sky Survey Bright and Faint Source Catalogs reveals the majority of the z<0.2 objects in our sample that we classify optically as clusters are also X-ray sources.

description: Discrete approaches to gravity, both classical and quantum, are reviewed briefly, with emphasis on the method using piecewise-linear spaces. Models of 3-dimensional quantum gravity involving 6j-symbols are then described, and progress in generalising these models to four dimensions is discussed, as is the relationship of these models in both three and four dimensions to topological theories. Finally, the repercussions of the generalisations are explored for the original formulation of discrete gravity using edge-length variables.

description: We report the results of the analysis of ASCA/ROSAT observations of the compact luminous X-ray source found at the edge of the nearby star-forming dwarf galaxy Holmberg II (UGC 4305).Our ASCA spectrum revealed that the X-ray emission extends to the hard band and can be best described by a power-law with a photon spectral index of 1.9. The ASCA spectrum does not fit with a multi-color disk blackbody. The joint ASCA-ROSAT spectrum suggests two components to the spectrum: the hard power-law component and a warm thermal plasma kT~0.3[keV]. An additional absorption over that of our galaxy is required. The wobble correction of the ROSAT HRI image has clearly unveiled the existence of an extended component which amounts to 27+/-5% of the total X-ray emission. These observations indicate that there are more than one component in the X-ray emission. The properties of the point-like component is indicative of an accretion onto an intermediate mass blackhole, unless a beaming is taking place. We argue that the extended component does not come from electron scattering and/or reflection by scattered optically-thick clouds of the central radiation. Possible explanations of this X-ray source include multiple supernova remnants feeding an intermediate-mass blackhole. (abridged)

description: The Minkowski product of unit quaternion sets is introduced and analyzed, motivated by the desire to characterize the overall variation of compounded spatial rotations that result from individual rotations subject to known uncertainties in their rotation axes and angles. For a special type of unit quaternion set, the spherical caps of the 3-sphere $S^3$ in $\mathbb{R}^4$, closure under the Minkowski product is achieved. Products of sets characterized by fixing either the rotation axis or rotation angle, and allowing the other to vary over a given domain, are also analyzed. Two methods for visualizing unit quaternion sets and their Minkowski products in $\mathbb{R}^3$ are also discussed, based on stereographic projection and the Lie algebra formulation. Finally, some general principles for identifying Minkowski product boundary points are discussed in the case of full-dimension set operands.

description: Gutzwiller functions are popular variational wavefunctions for correlated electrons in Hubbard models. Following the variational principle, we are interested in the Gutzwiller parameters that minimize e.g. the expectation value of the energy. Rewriting the expectation value as a rational function in the Gutzwiller parameters, we find a very efficient way for performing that minimization. The method can be used to optimize general Gutzwiller-type wavefunctions both, in variational and in fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo.

description: Abstract

Vietnam's real estate market has been challenging after the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly the significant changes in consumer buying behavior. This has highlighted the necessity of focusing research on the factors influencing customers' investment decisions. The objective of this study was achieved through a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods, with data collected from 200 valid survey responses from customers who have invested in apartments in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). The results of the PLS-SEM structural model analysis show that 04 main factors influence customers' investment decisions: (1) location, followed by (2) financial factors, (3) corporate image, and finally (4) investment knowledge. This research not only contributes to the academic field but also supports businesses by providing useful management information, helping to improve sales quality, and attracting investment.
Collective modes and the far-infrared absorption of the two-dimensional electron gas in a periodic quantizing magnetic field

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: We investigate the far-infrared (FIR) absorption of a two-dimensional electron gas in a periodically modulated quantizing magnetic field. The magnetic field varies along only one spatial direction and the external time-dependent electric field is linearly polarized along that axis. The mutual Coulomb interaction of the electrons is treated self-consistently in the ground state and in the absorption calculation within the Hartree approximation. The effects of the magnetic material on top of the heterostructure as a grating coupler is included in the time-dependent incident FIR electric field. We show that similar to an electric modulation, the absorption can be directly correlated to the underlying electronic energy bands. In addition, the magnetic modulation leads to absorption spectra with a richer structure due to the quite different static response of the electron density to the modulation.

Essentials of Classical Brane Dynamics

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: This article provides a self contained overview of the geometry and dynamics of relativistic brane models, of the category that includes point particle, string, and membrane representations for phenomena that can be considered as being confined to a worldsheet of the corresponding dimension (respectively one, two, and three) in a thin limit approximation in an ordinary 4 dimensional spacetime background. This category also includes ``brane world'' models that treat the observed universe as a 3-brane in 5 or higher dimensional background. The first sections are concerned with purely kinematic aspects: it is shown how, to second differential order, the geometry (and in particular the inner and outer curvature) of a brane worldsheet of arbitrary dimension is describable in terms of the first, second, and third fundamental tensor. The later sections show how -- to lowest order in the thin limit -- the evolution of such a brane worldsheet will always be governed by a simple tensorial equation of motion whose left hand side is the contraction of the relevant surface stress tensor $ bar T^{μν}$ with the (geometrically defined) second fundamental tensor $K_{μν}{^ρ}$, while the right hand side will simply vanish in the case of free motion and will otherwise be just the orthogonal projection of any external force density that may happen to act on the brane.

description: In this paper, we use the "complexity equals action" (CA) conjecture to discuss growth rate of the complexity in a charged AdS-Vaidya black hole formed by collapsing an uncharged spherically symmetric thin shell of null fluid. Using the approach proposed by Lehner $et\, al.$, we evaluate the action growth rate and the slope of the complexity of formation. Then, we demonstrate that the behaviors of them are in agreement with the switchback effect for the light shock wave case. Moreover, we show that to obtain an expected property of the complexity, it is also necessary for the CA conjecture to add the particular counterterm on the null boundaries.

description: Imaging and spectroscopy with HST show that LBQS 0103-2753 (V = 17.8, z = 0.848) is a binary quasar with a separation of 0.3 arcsec or 2.3 kpc. This is by far the smallest separation binary quasar reported to date. The two components have very different spectra, including the presence of strong broad absorption lines (BALs) in component A only. The emission-line redshifts, based on the broad high ionization C IV lines, are z_A = 0.834 and z_B = 0.858; their difference is 3900 km/s in velocity units. The broad C IV lines, however, are probably not a good indicator of systemic redshift; and LBQS 0103-2753 A and B could have a much smaller systemic redshift difference, like the other known binary quasars. If the systemic redshift difference is small, then LBQS 0103-2753 would most likely be a galaxy merger that has led to a binary supermassive black hole. There is now one known 0.3 arcsec binary among roughly 500 QSOs that have been observed in a way that would reveal such a close binary. This suggests that QSO activity is substantially more likely for black hole binaries at spacings ~2 kpc than at ~15 to 60 kpc. Between 1987 and 1998, the observed Mg II BAL disappeared.

description: Background and objective: since numerous natural disasters occur in the world every year, it is important to have a humanitarian supply chain because it makes it easy to transfer of necessities to the victims and related first aides. The aim of the present:study is to introduce the coherence factors in the loops of humanitarian supply chain.
Methods: in this review research, more than 20 foreign and national articles were studied along with taking notes to introduce the coherence factors in loop of humanitarian supply chain and the identified factors were classified based on theory of technology, organization and environment (TOE).
Findings: This study reveals that three main factors namely organization, environment, technology as well as fourteen indices including high management, human resource, assessment, quality management. Logistic, strategy and planning, organizational cultural, social and cultural conditions logical politic conditions, economic conditions, environmental technology, geological conditions, intelligence systems, and training technology affect the performance of humanitarian supply chain. Then, each of the above indices is subdivided into other indices which build a collection of 65 sub- indices.
Conclusion: the result of the research show that a disaster management needs an efficient and coherent supply chain to bind the measure and activities of all organizations involving in a disaster, and any deficiency in above factors leads to breaking humanitarian supply chain.

Xylocaine unpreserved brand of lidocaine local anaesthetic

description: BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy in reduction in posterior capsule opacification following cataract surgery by the use of Xylocaine brand of lidocaine 1% unpreserved 1 mL as hydrodissection fluid replacing balanced salt solution. METHOD The author performed all surgeries without any change in lens design or operative technique except for the change in hydrodissection fluid. There was no increase in complication rate of surgeries performed with Xylocaine as compared to those with balanced salt. The efficacy of the change in technique was assessed by the change in incidence of neodymiun:yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd:YAG) laser requirement which was separately assessed by an independent ophthalmologist. Minimum follow up exceeds two years with a maximum of eight years. RESULTS Xylocaine hydrodissection in this series did not reduce the already decreasing incidence of posterior capsule opacification at the 2 year review. The â€˜pâ€™ value was 0.855 representing no significant difference. The result must be seen against the general improvement worldwide and also by the author in the reduction of posterior capsule opacification to less than 5% over the years by improving operative techniques, lens materials and lens designs. CONCLUSION Hydrodissection with unpreserved Xylocaine 1% mL is safe, and cheap and requires no change in surgical technique. Xylocaine is known to be toxic to some bacterial cells and in a dose dependent relationship with corneal endothelial cells. A further larger double masked prospective trial would cover a shorter time span and eliminate the comparison with an overall trend line. There are very few safe pharmacological methods currently available clinically for PCO reduction and none in common use.

description: A parameter-free expression for the superconducting critical temperature of layered cuprates is derived which allows us to express Tc in terms of experimentally measured parameters. It yields Tc values observed in about 30 lanthanum, yttrium and mercury-based samples for different levels of doping. This remarkable agreement with the experiment as well as the unusual critical behaviour and the normal-state gap indicate that many cuprates are close to the Bose-Einstein condensation regime.

Heterogeneity and patterning in the quasi-static behavior of granular materials
Creators: name: Kuhn, Matthew R.

Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Heterogeneity is classified in five categories---topologic, geometric, kinematic, static, and constitutive---and the first four categories are investigated in a numerical DEM simulation of biaxial compression. The simulation experiments show that the topology and geometric fabric become more variable during loading. The measured fluctuations in inter-particle movements are large, they increase with loading, and they extend to distances of at least eight particle diameters. Deformation and rotation heterogeneity are large and are expressed in spatial patterning. Stress heterogeneity is moderate throughout loading.

description: Wireless communication plays a vital role in the promising performance of connected and automated vehicle (CAV) technology. This paper proposes a Vissim-based microscopic traffic simulation framework with an analytical dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) module for packet reception. Being derived from ns-2, a packet-level network simulator, the DSRC probability module takes into account the imperfect wireless communication that occurs in real-world deployment. Four managed lane deployment strategies are evaluated using the proposed framework. While the average packet reception rate is above 93\% among all tested scenarios, the results reveal that the reliability of the vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication can be influenced by the deployment strategies. Additionally, the proposed framework exhibits desirable scalability for traffic simulation and it is able to evaluate transportation-network-level deployment strategies in the near future for CAV technologies.

description: Historically, Seyfert nuclei have been considered to be radio-quiet active galactic nuclei (AGNs). We question this widely held assumption by showing that the distribution of the radio-to-optical luminosity ratio R, when properly measured for the {\it nuclear} component, places the majority of type 1 Seyfert nuclei in the category of radio-loud AGNs, defined here as objects with R greater than or equal to 10. This result is further strengthened by strong correlations found between radio power and optical continuum and emission-line luminosities, as has been established previously for more powerful AGNs. We also present a new calibration of the relation between optical continuum and Balmer emission-line luminosities valid in the regime of low-luminosity AGNs.

Coherent phenomena in semiconductors

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A review of coherent phenomena in photoexcited semiconductors is presented. In particular, two classes of phenomena are considered: On the one hand the role played by optically-induced phase coherence in the ultrafast spectroscopy of semiconductors; On the other hand the Coulomb-induced effects on the coherent optical response of low-dimensional structures. All the phenomena discussed in the paper are analyzed in terms of a theoretical framework based on the density-matrix formalism. Due to its generality, this quantum-kinetic approach allows a realistic description of coherent as well as incoherent, i.e. phase-breaking, processes, thus providing quantitative information on the coupled ---coherent vs. incoherent--- carrier dynamics in photoexcited semiconductors. The primary goal of the paper is to discuss the concept of quantum-mechanical phase coherence as well as its relevance and implications on semiconductor physics and technology. In particular, we will discuss the dominant role played by optically induced phase coherence on the process of carrier photogeneration and relaxation in bulk systems. We will then review typical field-induced coherent phenomena in semiconductor superlattices such as Bloch oscillations and Wannier-Stark localization. Finally, we will discuss the dominant role played by Coulomb correlation on the linear and non-linear optical spectra of realistic quantum-wire structures.

The 1-form L_a is defined via G_a = L^b \wedge #(o_b \wedge o_a). Here # denotes the Hodge-star, o_a the coframe, and \wedge the exterior product. The L_a is equivalent to the Einstein 3-form and represents a certain contraction of the curvature 2-form. A variational formula of Salgado on quadratic invariants of the L_a 1-form is discussed, generalized, and put into proper perspective.

description: Although the literature on Stalinist propaganda is enormous, there has been no dedicated study on the marketing of Stalin’s personality cult in posters during the Stalinist period. This thesis is an attempt to fill this lacuna. From 1929 till 1953, the retouched image of Iosif Stalin became a central symbol in Soviet propaganda across all artistic and cultural genres. Images of an omniscient Stalin appeared in the media of Socialist Realist painting, statuary, monumental architecture, friezes, banners, and posters. Stalin was lauded in poetry, theatre, film and song; oaths were sworn to him; thanksgiving ceremonies were held to honour him; and millions of Soviet soldiers in the Great Patriotic War ran into battle with his name on their lips. The ‘Stalin’ who was celebrated in propaganda bore but scant resemblance to the man Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili whose humble origins, criminal past, penchant for violent solutions and unprepossessing appearance made him an unlikely recipient of uncritical charismatic adulation. The Bolsheviks needed a wise, nurturing and authoritative figure to embody their revolutionary vision and to legitimate their hold on power. The persona of ‘Stalin’ arose through a process which involved both the deliberate manufacture of a charismatic leader through propaganda, and the wish-fulfilling projections by an unnerved, de-stabilised and largely uneducated, illiterate and superstitious population of a sage guide through troubled times. This leader would come to embody the sacred and archetypal qualities of the Father of the nation, the great Warrior and military strategist, the wise Teacher and the Saviour of the land. Stalin’s image in propaganda posters became a symbol of Bolshevik values and the personification of a revolutionary new type of society. Transforming a leader into a symbol which embodies an ideological vision is a key tactic in mobilising a population to identify as a cohesive whole, to strive for common goals and to behave in prescribed ways.

description: We propose a new Ising-PageRank model of opinion formation on a social network by introducing an Ising- or spin-like structure of the corresponding Google matrix. Each elector or node of the network has two components corresponding to a red or blue opinion in the society. Also each elector propagates either the red or the blue opinion on the network so that the links between electors are described by two by two matrices favoring one or the other of the two opinions. An elector votes for red or blue depending on the dominance of its red or blue PageRank vector components. We determine the dependence of the final society vote on the fraction of nodes with red (or blue) influence allowing to determine the transition for the election outcome border between the red or blue option. We show that this transition border is significantly affected by the opinion of society elite electors composed of the top PageRank, CheiRank or 2DRank nodes of the network even if the elite fraction is very small. The analytical and numerical studies are preformed for the networks of English Wikipedia 2017 and Oxford University 2006.

description: Implementing of strategic human resource planning considering futures studies concepts requires some prerequisites and requirements. Hence, the study aims to identify individual / behavioral, organizational / structural and infrastructural / environmental prerequisites and requirements to implement this process in Isfahan Red Crescent organization. To achieve this goal, we used questionnaires by using of partial least squares methods, confirmatory factor analysis, the average variance extracted, share index, convergent validity, divergent validity of fornell and lacker, one-sample t-test and Simonov Kolmogorov test. Finally, the prerequisites and requirements levels in all three categories were evaluated slightly higher than average. Therefore, organization should prepare small workshops to increase the knowledge about the futures studies concepts, the strategic orientations of organization, and its institutionalization in organization and human resources department. Also increasing the flexibility of organization and human resources programs and establishment of environmental scanning unit should be considered as the agenda of the organization.

description: This paper introduces wav2letter++, the fastest open-source deep learning speech recognition framework. wav2letter++ is written entirely in C++, and uses the ArrayFire tensor library for maximum efficiency. Here we explain the architecture and design of the wav2letter++ system and compare it to other major open-source speech recognition systems. In some cases wav2letter++ is more than 2x faster than other optimized frameworks for training end-to-end neural networks for speech recognition. We also show that wav2letter++'s training times scale linearly to 64 GPUs, the highest we tested, for models with 100 million parameters. High-performance frameworks enable fast iteration, which is often a crucial factor in successful research and model tuning on new datasets and tasks.

description: In the physics of condensed matter, quantum critical phenomena and unconventional superconductivity are two major themes. In electron doped cuprates, the low upper critical field allows one to study the putative QCP at low temperature and to understand its connection to the long standing problem of the origin of the high Tc superconductivity. Here we present measurements of the low temperature normal state thermopower (S) of the electron-doped cuprate superconductor La2-xCexCuO4 (LCCO) from x=0.11 to 0.19. We observe quantum critical S divided by T versus ln(1/T) behavior over an unexpectedly wide doping range x = 0.15 - 0.17 above the putative QCP (x=0.14) with a slope that scales monotonically with the superconducting transition temperature. The presence of quantum criticality over a wide doping range provides a new window on the criticality. The thermopower behavior also suggests that the critical fluctuations are linked with Tc. Above the superconductivity dome, at x=0.19, a conventional Fermi liquid S proportional to T behavior is found for T less than equal to 40 K.

Characterising the physiology of a Synechococcus strain engineered to produce squalene

subject: Synthetic biology

description: Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic organisms capable of sustainable bioproduction of industrially relevant compounds, often through genetic engineering. One example is the production of squalene using engineered cyanobacteria. Squalene was traditionally harvested from shark livers and is used variously in pharmaceuticals and cosmeceuticals. This study compared the growth, transcription and production yields of a genetically modified squalene-producing cyanobacteria (Synechococcus elongatus strain BRT3-463) to its parental strain S. elongatus PCC7942. The strains were compared when grown in media with differing nitrogen and phosphate concentrations. This study observed that native regulatory networks (and in turn gene expression and cell health) were, directly or indirectly, impacted by genetic engineering. For example, ntcA, the gene encoding the global nitrogen regulator in the parental strain only had an increase in expression when grown in low nitrogen. The induced engineered strain however, downregulated ntcA under all conditions, which in turn effected the expression of NtcA-regulated phycobilisome genes nblA and cpcA. This study also revealed shortcomings of heterologous IPTG-inducible promoters which showed leaky expression and unexpectedly, variable expression in response to nutrients. The improved understanding on how native regulation is impacted by genetic engineering suggests avenues to explore for increased heterologous production yields by cyanobacteria in the future.

description: The Introduction is divided into two parts: an analysis of Javanese society, and an outline history of PKI to December 1948. Because PKI has made its greatest gains among the Javanese and in the villages as well as in the towns, an examination is made of socio-economic conditions in the rural and urban areas of Java. It is hoped that the examination points to some of the reasons for the rapid growth of the communist organization. The outline history of PKI to the end of 1948 is intended merely to sketch in the background of the Party before the opening date of the main part of the thesis. (First paragraph of Summary).

description: A surface light field represents the radiance of rays originating from any points on the surface in any directions. Traditional approaches require ultra-dense sampling to ensure the rendering quality. In this paper, we present a novel neural network based technique called deep surface light field or DSLF to use only moderate sampling for high fidelity rendering. DSLF automatically fills in the missing data by leveraging different sampling patterns across the vertices and at the same time eliminates redundancies due to the network's prediction capability. For real data, we address the image registration problem as well as conduct texture-aware remeshing for aligning texture edges with vertices to avoid blurring. Comprehensive experiments show that DSLF can further achieve high data compression ratio while facilitating real-time rendering on the GPU.

The development of seahorse vision: morphological and behavioural aspects

description: Seahorses are visually guided feeders that rely on a well-developed visual system to successfully predate on small shrimp and plankton. Despite their dependence on vision for feeding and survival, very little is known about seahorse vision and visual development. Many species of seahorse have a specialisation in their retina associated with acute vision, a convexiclivate, rod-free fovea located at the centre of gaze. In the first part of this thesis, the foveae of temperate Hippocampus abdominalis and tropical H. taeniopterus seahorses are characterised. Both species possess a rod-free convexiclivate fovea and the pattern of photoreceptor and ganglion cell distribution is similar. Despite these similarities, H. taeniopterus has higher cell densities on the foveal slope and better theoretical and behaviourally measured visual resolution compared to H. abdominalis. These data indicate that seahorses have a well-developed acute visual system, and this tropical seahorse species has higher visual resolution compared to this species of temperate seahorse. In the second part of the thesis, developmental changes in foveal morphology are analysed using three increasingly larger sized groups of H. taeniopterus seahorses. Morphologically, the depression of the foveal pit deepens as the fish grows. The area of rod-free zone also increases with fish size. The photoreceptor and ganglion cell densities increase at the foveal slope, although there is a decrease in cone and ganglion cell density at the foveal centre this is observed as the fish grows. Both the theoretical and the behavioural visual resolution improve with increasing fish size, with larger fish being able to detect the same sized prey at a greater distance. The behaviourally measured increased visual function correlates with changes in morphology with fish size. The last aspect of the thesis uses five H. taeniopterus seahorse groups of increasing size to analyse the morphological and behavioural development of the fovea and rod-free zone, with an emphasis on the contribution of cell death and proliferation. The behavioural visual resolution improves with size. Morphologically, the area of rod-free zone increases in size during development. BrdU labelling, a measure of cell proliferation, shows the absence of cell division in the ONL; however, there are dividing neuroretinal cells in the INL within the rod-free zone. The TUNEL assay confirms the lack of programmed large-scale photoreceptor cell death in and around the rod-free zone during development. Taken together, our data are not able to rule out the possibility of cone photoreceptor cell generation from INL stem cells within the rod-free zone, although cell death is not likely to be a major mechanism of foveal development. Future studies are designed to determine the underlying mechanism in the establishment of the adult rod-free zone.
