Air-to-Ground: A local commemoration of the Apollo Moon landing program during its fiftieth anniversary
Creators: name: Bigg-Wither, Rebecca
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2022

description: This practice-led thesis, which shadowed the fiftieth anniversary of the Apollo Moon landing program, uses photomontage anchored by Apollo-era NASA images to investigate how the program and the psyche that it manifested might best be remembered in the now. In doing so, it adds to the relatively small number of attempts by visual artists to address the Apollo program in depth and as a specific historical undertaking. To this extent, it speaks from the unique perspective of the anniversary as both a major commemorative occasion and an historical moment in which key cultural norms that the Apollo program officially represented were challenged by a new Dionysian counterculture. It also significantly contributes to a body of creative work, largely generated during the anniversary, which spotlights the role of the former Honeysuckle Creek Tracking Station in the Apollo missions. The creative works produced for this thesis run against the grain of contemporary imperatives to focus commemorative efforts on forgotten histories. In doing so, they create new knowledge by proposing strategies for sympathetically remembering a departing hegemon without advocating for its reinstatement, while remaining sensitive to surrounding commemorative concerns. Informed by recent attempts to re-interpret contested monuments as an alternative to their removal, it posits Apollo's documentary photographs as a monument to their creators and re-makes them to articulate their current resonances. Ultimately, the creative works suggest Apollo may still have something to offer in terms of an attenuated 'social heroic' and that its passing should otherwise be marked quietly but with respect.

description: We study N=2 Yang-Mills theory on S^4 in the large-N limit. We find that on a large sphere Wilson loops obey a perimeter law and that the free energy grows quadratically with the radius of the sphere. We also comment on the large-N limit of the N=2* theory, and on the free energy in N=2 and N=4 superconformal theories.

title: Do you love me? An empirical analysis of the feeling of love amongst children in out of-home care
Creators: name: Lausten, Mette

Publisher: name: Strathprints - University of Strathclyde
Year: 2016

description: Questions about whether love can be offered in residential child care units, whether combining child protection and safeguarding in social work with loving care or care with love is possible, and whether children and young people feel loved by someone who is paid to care for them, have raised long-standing issues. Social pedagogy puts such questions at the core of its philosophy and practice, and has been a fundamental part of care in Denmark for many years. Drawing on a Danish survey of 1,400 children in out-of-home care, this paper analyses the subjective feeling of love amongst children living in out-of-home care. The main moderating factors for feeling loved are the feeling of security and the feeling of social support, the tangible counterpart of Honneth's concept of recognition.
Slice knots which bound punctured Klein bottles

description: We investigate the properties of knots in S^3 which bound Klein bottles, such that a pushoff of the knot has zero linking number with the knot, i.e. has zero framing. This is motivated by the many results in the literature regarding slice knots of genus one, for example, the existence of homologically essential zero self-linking simple closed curves on genus one Seifert surfaces for algebraically slice knots. Given a knot K bounding a Klein bottle F with zero framing, we show that J, the core of the orientation-preserving band in any disk-band form of F, has zero self-linking. We prove that such a K is slice in a Z[1/2]-homology 4-ball if and only if J is as well, a stronger result than what is currently known for genus one slice knots. As an application, we prove that given knots K and J and any odd integer p, the (2, p) cables of K and J are Z[1/2]-concordant if and only if K and J are Z[1/2]-concordant. In particular, if the (2,1)-cable of a knot K is slice, K is slice in a Z[1/2]-homology ball.

The unbearable betweenness of being: Stories of identity and deviance between classical and jazz violin improvisation.
Creators: name: Osborne, Llewellyn
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2022

description: Abstract As a classically-trained violinist I experienced a creative and methodological tension when entering the field of jazz improvisation, relating to four different aspects: (1) The tertiary jazz environment required chord-chart literacy and refined aural skills, (2) The tertiary jazz environment emphasised rhythmic and chromatic language that was far removed from classical repertoire, (3) The generation of spontaneous musical ideas was difficult due in part to perfectionist ideals cultivated in classical training, and (4) Fingering challenges would arise when improvising through flat and sharp chords. My motivation for this project has been to resolve these tensions, and discover an idiolectal voice that synthesises aspects of both classical violin and jazz improvisation. I have constructed a Method that utilises tonal motifs, extracted from classical repertoire, to create solo violin etudes over the harmony from jazz standards. This Method is divided into three Levels, each of which aim to increase necessary skills for improvising. Level One deals with functional and technical concerns. These include chord-chart literacy, observing correct chord-scale relationships, and violin-specific fingering concerns when playing through disparate tonal centres. Level Two builds upon these skills, while introducing voice-leading and audiation skills. Levels Two and Three incorporate aesthetic concerns, where musical 'storytelling' -the thematic, individualistic development of ideas - is paramount. In Level Two, classical motifs are used as inspiration to develop consonant stories. Level Three engages with cross-modal abstraction to develop unconventional, and potentially dissonant (understood here as 'deviant') stories. Level Three transcends the technical and functional, concerned instead with phenomenological experience in improvisation and composition. This submission for the degree of Masters of Philosophy consists of a portfolio of original compositions and recorded works realised through practice-led research. The exegesis is divided into three parts. Part One presents research relevant to the situation of classically-trained improvisers, identifying challenges that classical musicians face when seeking to gain hybrid jazz skills. Part Two details various deliberate practice strategies devised to meet the primary challenges of jazz improvisation. Part Three discusses performed improvisations actualised through Levels Two and Three of the Method. Separate to the exegesis, a compendium is included, where notated original works and practice exercises are detailed. This dissertation provides insights into the creative processes that are often undefined in improvisation, processes that can facilitate an emergent and intentional musical identity. This research explores modalities and methods available to improvisers who wish to transform the tonal beauty of classical motifs into improvised musical works.
Spherical coupled-cluster theory for open-shell nuclei
Creators: name: Jansen, Gustav R.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A microscopic description of nuclei is important to understand the nuclear shell-model from fundamental principles. This is difficult to achieve for more than the lightest nuclei without an effective approximation scheme. The purpose of this paper is to define and evaluate an approximation scheme that can be used to study nuclei that are described as two particles attached to a closed (sub-)shell nucleus. The equation-of-motion coupled-cluster formalism has been used to obtain ground and excited state energies. This method is based on the diagonalization of a non-Hermitian matrix obtained from a similarity transformation of the many-body nuclear Hamiltonian. A chiral interaction at the next-to-next-to-next-to leading order using a cutoff at 500 MeV was used. The ground state energies of ${}^6$Li and ${}^6$He were in good agreement with a no-core shell-model calculation using the same interaction. Several excited states were also produced with overall good agreement. Only the $J^π=3^+$ excited state in ${}^6$Li showed a sizable deviation. The ground state energies of ${}^{18}$O, ${}^{18}$F and ${}^{18}$Ne were converged, but underbound compared to experiment. Moreover, the calculated spectra were converged and comparable to both experiment and shell-model studies in this region. Some excited states in ${}^{18}$O were high or missing in the spectrum. It was also shown that the wave function for both ground and excited states separates into an intrinsic part and a Gaussian for the center-of-mass coordinate. Spurious center-of-mass excitations are clearly identified.

description: My task in this paper is to unpack and reflect upon the Statement from the Heart (from here referred to as ‘the Statement’, or ‘the Voice’) This statement, signed at Uluru in 2017, was written after 12 months of consultations across our country. Elders and others gathered in several countries see footnote for explanation) across the land, we now call Australia to work through what would be a pathway to constitutional change leading to the resolution of the original sin of this country - the genocide emanating from the invasion by, and coloniality of empire. In what follows I will explore three matters: what the Statement from the Heart is, what it is not, and how it works. One of the interesting things about the creative dynamic of the Statement from the Heart is that it is a justice or heart-healing tool. It is restorative justice writ large, involving the elements that make up the process leading to a resolution of the past and a creative response to the future by enacting reconciliation in the present. While it attends to the sins of the past, it offers a creative opportunity to reimagine the future and the possibilities within, the whole of what is now understood as Australian society.

description: We provide a significant extension of the twisted connected sum construction of G_2-manifolds, i.e. Riemannian 7-manifolds with holonomy group G_2, first developed by Kovalev; along the way we address some foundational questions at the heart of the twisted connected sum construction. Some of the main contributions of the paper are: (i) We correct, clarify and extend several aspects of the K3 "matching problem" that occurs as a key step in the twisted connected sum construction. (ii) We show that the large class of asymptotically cylindrical Calabi-Yau 3-folds built from semi-Fano 3-folds (a subclass of weak Fano 3-folds) can be used as components in the twisted connected sum construction. (iii) We construct many new topological types of compact G_2-manifolds by applying the twisted connected sum to asymptotically Calabi-Yau 3-folds of semi-Fano type studied in arXiv:1206.2277. (iv) We obtain much more precise topological information about twisted connected sum G_2-manifolds; one application is the determination for the first time of the diffeomorphism type of many compact G_2-manifolds. (v) We describe "geometric transitions" between G_2-metrics on different 7-manifolds mimicking "flopping" behaviour among semi-Fano 3-folds and "conifold transitions" between Fano and semi-Fano 3-folds. (vi) We construct many G_2-manifolds that contain rigid compact associative 3-folds. (vii) We prove that many smooth 2-connected 7-manifolds can be realised as twisted connected sums in numerous ways; by varying the building blocks matched we can vary the number of rigid associative 3-folds constructed therein. This leads to speculation that the moduli space of G_2-metrics on a given 7-manifold may consist of many different connected components.

Dies wird insbesondere beim Straftatbestand der Untreue vielfach bezweifelt. Im Mittelpunkt der Diskussion steht die Frage, ob § 266 StGB noch mit dem Bestimmtheitsgebot vereinbar ist, oder ob die Norm für verfassungswidrig erklärt werden muss. Der folgende Beitrag setzt sich mit dieser Streitfrage auseinander, legt bestehende Zweifel näher dar und erörtert die einzelnen Restriktionsversuche der Literatur und Rechtsprechung. Zuletzt wird die Entscheidung des BVerfG vom 23.6.2010 umfassend dargestellt, die sich ausdrücklich mit der Verfassungsmäßigkeit der Untreue beschäftigt hat.

Maximising Confidence: A Grounded Theory on Student Engagement to Speak (SEtS) in a language class.
Creators: name: Quijada Cervoni, Eleonora
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2022

description: Learning to speak a second language is a challenging experience for the majority of language learners. "Your whole person is affected as you struggle to reach beyond the confines of your first language and into a new language, a new culture, a new way of thinking, feeling and acting" (H. D. Brown, 2000, p. 12). Thus, teaching to speak a foreign language is also a defying undertaking where, if we want students to use the language in class realistically and autonomously, speaking class activities need to be 'productive, purposeful, interactive, challenging, safe and authentic' (Thornbury 2007: 90). That said, there is a widespread assertion amongst language teachers that in class "students do not talk at all" (Bahrani & Soltani, 2012. p. 26). Within that context, this study investigates the factors affecting student engagement to speak (SEtS) in a language class, which is an unexplored concept - from the students' perspective - linked to the fields of Student Engagement (SE), Willingness to Communicate (WTC) and Communicative Language Teaching (CLT). A mixed methods approach was used to obtain the data, including a focus group, student and teacher interviews, participant observation insights, self reflections and a survey. The data was analysed by using Grounded Theory (GT) strategies (Charmaz 2014; Glaser 2007; Pace 2012) within an analytic autoethnography (Anderson 2006) to search for an emergent theory that could explain what engages students to speak in a language class. The study is framed within a constructivist approach to data collection and analysis, and the research includes the participation of 388 Australian National University undergraduate students of French, Spanish, German and Italian at different levels of instruction, 14 teachers and the researcher's own voice, supplemented by the relevant literature. The journey is paved with quotes of students' and teachers' words and with self reflective ethnographic analytical memos. The findings, obtained through the process of coding, categorisation and theoretical development of the qualitative data, complemented by the quantitative results of the survey, are grounded on students' lived experiences as well as the researcher's. They suggest that SEtS is a socio affective process underpinned by three interdependent dimensions involving the teacher's personal qualities, the course content and the classroom environment. The students' level of connectedness to those three dimensions affects their self confidence and either engages or disengages them to speak in class. This study shows that what really matters to students is still the human condition underpinned by affective and behavioural components such as teacher-student relationships, motivation and anxiety, and it serves as a stepping stone for further research in the area of language pedagogy and SEtS, and particularly on the role the personality of a teacher may play in second language teaching and learning.

description: We consider infinite dimensional port-Hamiltonian systems. Based on a power balance relation we introduce the port-Hamiltonian system representation where we pay attention to two different scenarios, namely the non-differential operator case and the differential operator case regarding the structural mapping, the dissipation mapping and the in/output mapping. In contrast to the well-known representation on the basis of the underlying Stokes-Dirac structure our approach is not necessarily based on using energy-variables which leads to a different port-Hamiltonian representation of the analyzed partial differential equations.

description: It is now inevitable to reuse the wastewater in urban areas in terms of climate change and circular economy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the reuse of secondary treatment as irrigation water and/or industrial process water by pilot-scale ultrafiltration (UF) and reverse osmosis (RO) units. The conductivity, pH, organic matter, heavy metals, micropollutants, coliform bacteria and sodium hazard assessments were analysedduring operation. An average flux of 60.02 ± 16 l/m2.h was obtained in UF system and 12.30 ± 2.93 l/m2.h was obtained in RO system. Both UF and RO permeates were compared with the national and the global irrigational water quality standards. It has been determined that UF effluent is suitable for irrigation, while RO permeate water can be used for industrial processes with UF pre-treatment. The total operation and maintenance (O&M) costs of two pilot plants were calculated at 0.252 US $/m3.

description: Given a compact Kähler manifold $(X,ω_0)$ let $\mathcal H_{0}$ be the set of Kähler forms cohomologous to $ω_0$. As observed by Mabuchi \cite{m}, this space has the structure of an infinite dimensional Riemannian manifold, if one identifies it with a totally geodesic subspace of $\mathcal H$, the set of Kähler potentials of $ω_0$. Following Donaldson's research program, existence and regularity of geodesics in this space is of fundamental interest. In this paper, supposing enough regularity of a geodesic $u:[0,1]\to \mathcal H$, connecting $u_0 \in \mathcal H$ with $u_1 \in \mathcal H$, we establish a Morse theoretic result relating the critical points of $u_1-u_0$ to the critical points of $\dot u_0 = du/dt|_{t=0}$. As an application of this result, we prove that on all Kähler manifolds, connecting Kähler potentials with smooth geodesics is not possible in general. In particular, in the case $X \neq \Bbb C P^1$, we will also prove that the set of pairs of potentials that can not be connected with smooth geodesics has nonempty interior. This is an improvement upon the findings of \cite{lv} and \cite{dl}.

description: Ausgangslage: Die Energieversorgungsbranche steht vor einem radikalen Wandel. Die Erreichung der Energie- und Klimaziele des Bundes bis 2050 bedeutet für die Unternehmen grösste unternehmerische Anstrengungen. Die Liberalisierung der Märkte führt parallel zum Verlust der Monopolstellung und der freie Wettbewerb zwingt Energieversorgungsunter-nehmen, neue Geschäftsstrategien, innovative Geschäftsmodelle und Dienstleistungen zu entwickeln. Dieser transformative Wandel bringt Unsicherheit, Angst und Lieferdruck mit sich, das Konfliktpotential steigt und soziale Spannungen können die Leistung nachteilig tangieren. Die Frage stellt sich nun, wie Unternehmen mit diesem Sachverhalt am besten umgehen können? 
Zielesetzungen: Die Zielsetzung der Masterarbeit liegt darin, herauszufinden, wie die psychologische Sicherheit die Leistung der Teams in einer dissoziativen Organisation mit wenig Risikofreudigkeit unterstützen und interpersonelle Spannungen und soziale Konflikte in Teams reduzieren kann. Wenn die psychologische Sicherheit sehr gut ausgeprägt ist, kann ein Team ohne Angst interpersoneller Risiken optimal interdisziplinär Lernen und Innovieren, erreicht seine Ziele effizienter und effektiver und die Mitglieder profitieren von der besseren Zufriedenheit und einer höheren Motivation, wenn soziale Konflikte reduziert werden können. Die Arbeit gibt zudem Aufschluss darüber, inwiefern Führungskräfte mit ihrer Haltung und ihrem Verhalten dazu beitragen, die psychologische Sicherheit, die soziale Reflexivität und die interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit in ihren Teams so zu verbessern, damit eine optimale Lern- und Innovationskultur entsteht, die für jegliche Form von Veränderungen in der Zukunft so dringend benötigt wird. Die gesammelten Erkenntnisse und eingesetzten Verfahren und Arbeitsmittel sollen für eine spätere Ausbreitung in der Unternehmung auf andere Teams anschlussfähig und geeignet sein.

description: Several metal-based enzyme
      inhibitors have been designed using molecular modeling
      software, synthesized and evaluated biochemically. The
      scaffold was based on tethering a pharmacophore functional
      group with a high affinity to the active site of the target
      enzyme to a tetrahedral or octahedral coordination unit. As
      the [Ru(bpy)3]2+ moiety is known to produce singlet oxygen if
      exposed to light a chromophore assisted light inactivation
      (CALI) approach was used to increase the inhibition of
      [Ru(bpy)3]2+ moiety-based trypsin inhibitors. The isolation
      of complexes with a high enantiopurity allowed us to examine
      the influence of the stereo configuration upon enzyme
      affinity and a high stereo preference of the active site was
      observed. To demonstrate that helically-chiral complexes can
      be used as structural scaffolds not only for trypsin, but for
      other enzymes as well, inhibitors of carbonic anhydrases and
      poly(ADP-ribose)-polymerase 1 (PARP1) were examined. Based on
      molecular modeling results several iridium(III) complex-based
      carbonic anhydrase II inhibitors were developed with
      IC50-values as low as 34 nM. A similar approach for PARP1
      resulted in an excellent ruthenium(II) complex-based
      inhibitor with an IC50-value of 3-6 nM.
An historical perspective on the development of the Mackay district sugarcane Industry
Creators: name: Sephton, Kaaren
Publisher: name: The Australian National University

description: The Mackay district sugarcane industry provides the background for an in-depth analysis of one sugar growing community. I draw on interviews of industry workers from Mia Mia, (an agricultural district - not a township) which forms an industrial community of cane farmers, mill workers, and associated industry representatives. Mia Mia is a small, close-knit agricultural community located 41km inland from Mackay City on the North Queensland coast of Australia. I interviewed forty-two individuals, representing either themselves or their families, who described their life associated with the sugar industry. These individuals came from a range of work backgrounds such as cane farming, accountancy, cane cutting, milling, politics, teaching, and other work experiences, all with a connection to Mia Mia. The thesis explores the social, cultural, economic, political, and technological changes that occurred with the development of the sugar industry in the Mackay district between 1900 and the mid-1990s. My research investigates the extent to which the Mia Mia community benefited from working in the sugarcane industry. It argues that local farmers, millers and sugar industry workers derived significant economic and social benefits. However, it emphasises that the benefits were not without personal hardships. The thesis also explores the role of government, legislation and policy making that supported and protected the sugarcane industry. The methodology used in this thesis is that of prosopography, which is defined as the study of individuals in the context of a broader community. The methodology of prosopography identifies the relationships between people according to their names and roles and establishes their social relationships in terms of groups, ethnic and regional origin, family relationships and careers. This research topic reaches into the wider sugar industry community to interview sugar industry workers who live outside the community boundary of Mia Mia but who have a connection to that community. An analysis of the participant's responses provided unique insights into the many connections between individuals, families, community associations and sugar industry organisations. Those connections provide a glimpse of a way of life that may not exist in the future.

description: Using the real time formalism of field theory at finite temperature and density we have evaluated the in-medium $ω$ self-energy from baryon and meson loops. We have analyzed in detail the discontinuities across the branch cuts of the self-energy function and obtained the imaginary part from the non-vanishing contributions in the cut regions. An extensive set of resonances have been considered in the baryon loops. Adding the meson loop contribution we obtain the full modified spectral function of $ω$ in a thermal gas of mesons, baryons and anti-baryons in equilibrium for several values of temperature and baryon chemical potential.

description: Die Intention der vorliegenden Masterarbeit ist es, ein Coachingformat im Einzelsetting zu prüfen, welches sehr kompakt und prozessintensiv sich über drei Tage erstreckt und fernab vom Alltag in naturnaher Umgebung stattfindet. Ausserdem soll ein integrativer Methodenplural für den Beratungsprozess angewendet werden, der an sich systemisch-lösungsorientiert ist, kreative Medien nutzt und das Coaching in / mit der Natur beinhaltet. Grundsätzlich ist es ein Ansatz, welcher prozessorientiert und individuell die Klient*innen darin unterstützen soll, eigene neue Lösungsmöglichkeiten zu finden, zu integrieren und nachhaltig in den Alltag zu transferieren. 
Der Beratungsprozess und die Evaluation bestätigt die erste Hypothese, dass das kompakt Coaching Format sich gut für Führungskräfte eignet. Nach Abschluss des Beratungsprozesses konnte die Klientin selbstsicher und gestärkt ihre neue berufliche Rolle als Vizedirektorin und Mitglied des erweiterten Managements einnehmen. Ebenso konnte die zweite Hypothese bestätigt werden, dass der systemisch-lösungsorientierte Beratungsansatz, gepaart mit kreativen Interventionen und dem Coaching in der Natur eine effektive und nachhaltige Wirkung bringt. Der Methodenplural kann flexibel und individuell auf die Bedürfnisse der Klient*innen massgeschneidert werden. Die Klientin konnte dank den analogen Verfahren, systemischen Interventionen und dem Coaching in der Natur neue Handlungsmöglichkeiten und Lösungen wie auch neues Erleben implementieren. In der Evaluation, welche fünf Wochen nach dem kompakt Coaching durchgeführt wurde, zeigten sich die neu erarbeiteten Lösungen als stabil, sogar mit der Tendenz, sich weiter positiv zu entwickeln. 
Der Einsatz von kreativen Medien, neben der systemisch-lösungsorientierten Haltung mit den einhergehenden Interventionen, hinterliessen eindrückliche Bilder und neue Bewertungsmuster, auf welche nachhaltig zurückgegriffen werden kann. Der in die Natur verlegte Prozessschritt, die Integration und der Praxistransfer, enthielt effektvolle und nachhaltige Momente, die als Erinnerungshilfen den Transfer in den Alltag begünstigen. Gesamthaft gesehen verführte der intensive, kompakte Coachingprozess die Klientin, aufgrund geringer Ablenkung von aussen, zur Weiterarbeit in der Freizeit. Zudem bewertete sie das Setting positiver, als viele einzelne Coaching-Sessions in urbaner, arbeitsnaher Umgebung. 
Die vorliegende Masterarbeit soll andere Coaches und Berater*innen animieren, den Beratungsprozess nicht nur auf der verbalen Ebene zu gestalten, sondern kreative Medien miteinzubeziehen. Ausserdem bereichert das Arbeiten in der Natur Klient*innen wie auch Berater*innen mit eindrücklichen, wirkungsvollen Erlebnissen und beweist eine grundlegend positiven Wirkung auf das psychische Wohlbefinden.

description: The proper action functional of (4k+3)-dimensional U(1)-Chern-Simons theory including the instanton sectors has a well known description: it is given on the moduli space of fields by the fiber integration of the cup product square of classes in degree-(2k+2) differential cohomology. We first refine this statement from the moduli space to the full higher smooth moduli stack of fields, to which the higher order-ghost BRST complex is the infinitesimal approximation. Then we generalize the refined formulation to cup product Chern-Simons theories of nonabelian and higher nonabelian gauge fields, such as the nonabelian String^c-2-connections appearing in quantum-corrected 11-dimensional supergravity and M-branes. We discuss aspects of the off-shell extended geometric pre-quantization (in the sense of extended or multi-tiered QFT) of these theories, where there is a prequantum U(1)-k-bundle (equivalently: a U(1)-(k-1)-bundle gerbe) in each codimension k. Examples we find include moduli stacks for differential T-duality structures as well as the anomaly line bundles of higher electric/magnetic charges, such as the 5-brane charges appearing in heterotic supergravity, appearing as line bundles with connection on the smooth higher moduli stacks of field configurations.

description: The measurement of charged-particle event shape variables is presented in inclusive inelastic pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV using the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The observables studied are the transverse thrust, thrust minor and transverse sphericity, each defined using the final-state charged particles' momentum components perpendicular to the beam direction. Events with at least six charged particles are selected by a minimum-bias trigger. In addition to the differential distributions, the evolution of each event shape variable as a function of the leading charged particle transverse momentum, charged particle multiplicity and summed transverse momentum is presented. Predictions from several Monte Carlo models show significant deviations from data.

description: We calculate stellar masses for massive luminous galaxies at redshift 0.2-0.7 using the first two years of data from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). Stellar masses are obtained by fitting model spectral energy distributions to u,g,r,i,z magnitudes, and simulations with mock galaxies are used to understand how well the templates recover the stellar mass. Accurate BOSS spectroscopic redshifts are used to constrain the fits. We find that the distribution of stellar masses in BOSS is narrow (Delta log M~0.5 dex) and peaks at about logM ~ 11.3 (for a Kroupa initial stellar mass function), and that the mass sampling is uniform over the redshift range 0.2 to 0.6, in agreement with the intended BOSS target selection. The galaxy masses probed by BOSS extend over ~10^{12} M, providing unprecedented measurements of the high-mass end of the galaxy mass function. We find that the galaxy number density above ~ 2.5 10^{11} M agrees with previous determinations. We perform a comparison with semi-analytic galaxy formation models tailored to the BOSS target selection and volume, in order to contain incompleteness. The abundance of massive galaxies in the models compare fairly well with the BOSS data, but the models lack galaxies at the massive end. Moreover, no evolution with redshift is detected from ~0.6 to 0.4 in the data, whereas the abundance of massive galaxies in the models increases to redshift zero. Additionally, BOSS data display colour-magnitude (mass) relations similar to those found in the local Universe, where the most massive galaxies are the reddest. On the other hand, the model colours do not display a dependence on stellar mass, span a narrower range and are typically bluer than the observations. We argue that the lack of a colour-mass relation for massive galaxies in the models is mostly due to metallicity, which is too low in the models.

description: This study investigate the sources, seasonal variation, and health risks of ten elements in water collected at ten sites in Yamuna, Delhi. Mean concentration of the elements ranged from 0.8 ± 0.8 µg/L for Co to 9455 ± 6379 µg/L for Fe, and followed in the order Co>Cd >As>Zn>Ni>Cu>Cr>Pb>Mn>Fe. Mean Cr and Pb levels exceed the WHO prescribed limit. Spatial variation was insignificant except for Mn. Seasonal variation of Pb, Cr, Fe, Zn, and As was significant, and in the order summer≥monsoon>winter. Cluster analysis identified five groups of elements. Principal component analysis indicates industrial, agricultural, and domestic wastewater effluents as the chief sources of the observed level of elements. Probability of non-carcinogenic health risk was moderate for Cr (69%), Mn (62%), As (44%), and Fe (29%) and high for Pb (96%). Cr, Ni, Cd, As and Pb pose carcinogenic risk with high probability (84–100%) except for Pb (4.8%).
