Open Access Repository

description: The use of controlled vocabularies in bibliographic metadata is essential to ensure interoperability in terms of data exchange and the provision of value added services.

Repositories are using controlled vocabularies (e.g. from the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative) and application profiles (e.g. info: eu-repo) across system boundaries. However, in practice, one can observe a lack of consistent use, granularity and regular maintenance which has significant negative impact on resuability of metadata.

In addition, new application scenarios arise (e.g. recording of funder and project/grant information, linking publications with other scholarly output, producing reliable usage statistics and sharing of scholarly information across different systems, like literature repositories, data repositories and current research information systems) and thus increased demands on controlled vocabularies.

The COAR Interest Group on “Controlled Vocabularies” aims to address this problem and is developing a set of controlled vocabularies for open access repositories as a community-driven effort.

Using the example of the COAR ResourceType vocabulary to describe the genre of a digital object organizational, methodological and technical steps of its implementation are presented.

description: Near the sample edge, or a sharp magnetic field step the drift of two-dimensional electrons in a magnetic field has the form of skipping/snake orbits. We show that families of skipping/snake orbits of electrons injected at one point inside a 2D metal generically exhibit caustics folds, cusps and cusp triplets, and, in one extreme case, a section of the batterfly bifurcation. Periodic appearance of singularities along the $\pm B$-interface leads to the magneto-oscillations of nonlocal conductance in multi-terminal electronic devices.

description: The subject of the paper is the derivation and analysis of new multidimensional, high-resolution, finite volume evolution Galerkin (FVEG) schemes for systems of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws. Our approach couples a finite volume formulation with approximate evolution operators. The latter are constructed using the bicharacteristics of the multidimensional hyperbolic system, such that all of the infinitely many directions of wave propagation are taken into account. In particular, we propose a new FVEG-scheme, which is designed in such a way that for a linear wave equation system the approximate evolution operator calculates any one-dimensional planar wave exactly. This operator makes the FVEG-scheme stable up to a natural CFL limit of 1. Using the results obtained for the wave equation system a new approximate evolution operator for the linearised Euler equations is also derived. The integrals over the cell interfaces also need to be approximated with care; in this case our choice of Simpson's rule is guided by stability analysis of model problems. Second order resolution is obtained by means of a piecewise bilinear recovery. Numerical experiments confirm the accuracy and multidimensional behaviour of the new scheme.

description: Collapse of a skyrmion due to the discreteness of a crystal lattice in isotropic two-dimensional ferro- and antiferromagnets has been studied analytically and by numerical solution of equations of motion for up to 2000 x 2000 classical spins on a square lattice coupled via Heisenberg exchange interaction. Excellent agreement between analytical and numerical results has been achieved. The lifetime of the skyrmion scales with its initial size, lambda_0, as(lambda_0/a)^5 in ferromagnets and as (lambda_0/a)^2.15 in antiferromagnets, with a being the lattice parameter. This makes antiferromagnetic skyrmions significantly shorter lived than ferromagnetic skyrmions.

description: We study the low-temperature heat transport of Nd_3Ga_5SiO_{14}, which is a spin-liquid candidate, to probe the nature of ground state and the effect of magnetic field on the magnetic properties. The thermal conductivity (κ) shows a purely phononic transport in zero field. The external magnetic field along the c axis induces a dip-like behavior of κ(H), which can be attributed to a simple paramagnetic scattering on phonons. However, the magnetic field along the ab plane induces another step-like decrease of κ. This kind of κ(H) behavior is discussed to be related to a field-induced partial order, which yields low-energy magnetic excitations that significantly scatter phonons. These results point to a paramagnetic ground state that partial magnetic order can be induced by magnetic field along the ab plane, which is also signified by the low-T specific heat data.

description: The present thesis deals with the study of restoration and strengthening of a masonry building of ΚEDAK. The procedure followed for the geometric mapping of the structure and the estimation of the mechanical characteristics of the materials, data required for the creation of the simulation, is described. The steps and assumptions applied to create the simulation are then presented. The results obtained are presented in terms of stresses and visually compared with the masonry strength. For the critical locations, "section cuts" are made in which adequacy checks are carried out. If the strengths are found to be exceeded, reinforcement using Textile Reinforcement Mortar (TRM) is proposed. Finally, the locations requiring reinforcement and the proposed reinforcement are summarized

description: On 30 April 1994, Public Law 103-238 was enacted allowing significant changes to provisions within the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). Interactions between marine mammals and commercial fisheries are addressed under three new sections. This new regime replaced the interim exemption that has regulated fisheries-related incidental takes since 1988. Section 117, Stock Assessments, required the establishment of three regional scientific review groups to advise and report on the status of marine mammal stocks within Alaska waters, along the Pacific Coast (including Hawaii), and the Atlantic Coast (including the Gulf of Mexico). This report provides information on the marine mammal stocks of Alaska under the jurisdiction of the National Marine Fisheries Service. Each stock assessment includes, when available, a description of the stock’s geographic range, a minimum population estimate, current population trends, current and maximum net productivity rates, optimum sustainable population levels and allowable removal levels, and estimates of annual human-caused mortality and serious injury through interactions with commercial fisheries and subsistence hunters. These data will be used to evaluate the progress of each fishery towards achieving the MMPA’s goal of zero fishery-related mortality and serious injury of marine mammals.

description: The one dimensional Coulomb lattice fluid in a capacitor configuration is studied. The model is formally exactly soluble via a transfer operator method within a field theoretic representation of the model. The only interactions present in the model are the one dimensional Coulomb interaction between cations and anions and the steric interaction imposed by restricting the maximal occupancy at any lattice site to one particle. Despite the simplicity of the model, a wide range of intriguing physical phenomena arise, some of which are strongly reminiscent of those seen in experiments and numerical simulations of three dimensional ionic liquid based capacitors. Notably we find regimes where over-screening and density oscillations are seen near the capacitor plates. The capacitance is also shown to exhibit strong oscillations as a function of applied voltage. It is also shown that the corresponding mean field theory misses most of these effects. The analytical results are confirmed by extensive numerical simulations.

description: Da die energetische Nutzung nachwachsender Biomasse in Kraftwerken eine generelle Möglichkeit der Stromerzeugung ohne Ausstoß von fossilem CO2 darstellt, wurde in den vergangenen 15 Jahren in Deutschland eine Vielzahl von mit Biomasse betriebenen Dampfkraftwerken mit einer maximalen elektrischen Bruttoleistung von 20 MWel errichtet. Davon werden vor allem Anlagen mit einer installierten, elektrischen Leistung < 10 MWel zur gekoppelten Strom- und Wärmeerzeugung betrieben. Obwohl Vergasungsheizkraftwerke (VHKW) eine energetisch und exergetisch vorteilhafte Alternativ zu diesen Dampfheizkraftwerken (DHKW) darstellen, konnte sich trotz intensiver Bemühungen die Vergasungstechnologie aufgrund von technischen und ökonomischen Herausforderungen bislang nicht durchsetzen. Eine im Rahmen dieser Arbeit durchgeführte Marktrecherche zeigt, dass vor allem eine geringe Verfügbarkeit und die unerwünschte Kondensation von Teeren den Durchbruch bislang verhinderten.
description: Based on measurements at existing European biomass gasification plants simulation models of these plants are set up. Afterwards the plant concepts are optimised and evaluated. It can be shown, that the power production in biomass gasification plants can be an energetic and exergetic interesting alternative to existing biomass steam power plants. The availability of the plant has a major influence on an economic production.

description: There is substantial research interest in how future fleets of battery-electric vehicles will interact with the power sector. Various types of energy models are used for respective analyses. They depend on meaningful input parameters, in particular time series of vehicle mobility, driving electricity consumption, grid availability, or grid electricity demand. As the availability of such data is highly limited, we introduce the open-source tool emobpy. Based on mobility statistics, physical properties of battery-electric vehicles, and other customizable assumptions, it derives time series data that can readily be used in a wide range of model applications. For an illustration, we create and characterize 200 vehicle profiles for Germany. Depending on the hour of the day, a fleet of one million vehicles has a median grid availability between 5 and 7 gigawatts, as vehicles are parking most of the time. Four exemplary grid electricity demand time series illustrate the smoothing effect of balanced charging strategies.

description: The period-change behaviour of 134 RR Lyrae stars in the globular cluster Messier 3 (M3) is investigated on the ~120-year time base of the photometric observations. The mean period-change rates (β\approx 0.01 d Myr^-1) of the subsamples of variables exhibiting the most regular behaviour are in good agreement with theoretical expectations based on Horizontal-Branch stellar evolution models. However, a large fraction of variables show period changes that contradict the evolutionary expectations. Among the 134 stars studied, the period-change behaviour of only 54 variables is regular (constant or linearly changing), slight irregularities are superimposed on the regular variations in 23 cases and the remaining 57 stars display irregular period variations. The light curve of ~50 per cent of the RRab stars is not stable, i.e., these variables exhibit Blazhko modulation. The large fraction of variables with peculiar behaviour (showing light-curve modulation and/or irregular O-C variation) indicate that, probably, variables with regular period changes incompatible with their evolutionary stages also could display some kind of instability of the pulsation light curve and/or period, but the available observations have not disclosed it yet. The temporal appearence of the Blazhko effect in some stars, and the 70-90 years long regular changes preceded or followed by irregular, rapid changes of the pulsation period in some cases support this hypothesis. [...] Abstract truncated due to the limitations of astroph. See full abstract in the paper.

Feminist Art Histories and Masculinity: Reading the Mainstream Art Museum
Creators: name: McPhail, Kyle Grey
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis investigates the impact feminist art histories have had on mainstream artmuseums. The key finding of this thesis is that masculinity, or the traditional heteromasculinebox, continues to impact the mainstream art museum. The research isapproached through two case studies: Tate Modern, London, and the National PortraitGallery, also in London. Each case study is conceptualised as comprising three,interconnecting and overlapping spheres: the organisational sphere, the curatorial sphereand the physical sphere.This thesis finds that, alongside the overwhelming impact of masculinity, structuralfaults in the collection, caused by historic bias, have created obstacles for curators.However, feminist art historical approaches are being implemented within the curatorialsphere in order to attempt to fill gaps and to correct biases. Although within theorganisational sphere there is evidence of a feminist legacy, masculinity continues tohave a large impact on experiences within physical art spaces, leading to questionsabout whether the actions museums are taking to diversify their collections is enough.The thesis argues that as some gaps in collections are addressed, others are beingignored and continue to grow. This is most evident in the case of transgender narratives.Despite the rise in the number of women artists and/or artists of colour, these artists arenot given the same space as artists accepted within the art historical canon. This causesa lack of equivalency of scale between artists. Additionally, there are often specificspaces and times given to the display of marginalised artists. For example, the thesisfinds that often the interpretation of an artist’s queerness is limited to certain spaceswithin the gallery, or confined to special events and displays.Ultimately this thesis contributes to the growing field of queer feminist art histories aswell as a queer reading of museums, while also exploring transgender and gender nonconformingnarratives in art spaces.

description: The feasibility of raw data acquired by liquid chromatography – high resolution mass spectrometry for the separation of four tequila corresponding to different maturation stages was demonstrated using partial least squares regression (PLS). Five samples of silver, rested, aged, and extra-aged tequilas from different manufacturers were analyzed each in two technical replicates. Prior to the analysis, the samples were four-fold diluted with 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid. Rectangle bucketing was performed for raw data, with a retention time width of 60 s and m/z width of 1. The prepared dataset was submitted to principal component analysis (PCA) which allowed for the detection of tequila contaminants identified to be N-lauryl diethanolamine and phthalate esters. Next, PLS was performed on depurated data, annotating tequila categories as follows: 0 - silver, 1 - rested, 2 - aged and 3 - extra aged. In the computed model, two principal components accounted for 64% and 98% of X-data and Y-data variability, respectively. Cross-validation revealed similar analytical performance in calibration and in prediction with root mean square errors of 0.1851 and 0.2082, respectively. The assignation of category’s numerical value (0-3) was attained for eight randomly selected tequilas (two per category). Statistical differences between predicted values were obtained for each pair of categories except for the aged versus extra-aged liquors (ANOVA, p < 0.05). Overall, the assignation of tequila category was achieved with no need for the detection/identification nor quantification of individual compounds.

description: The determination of homocysteine (Hcy) is important because high levels are associated with a greater risk of developing heart disease or stroke. Herein, an electrochemical sensor of homocysteine was constructed based upon the self-assembly of 6-ferrocenylhexanethiol (FcC6SH) on a MoS2 nanoparticles-modified electrode with a Nafion coating. The sensor showed a favorable electrocatalytic activity for oxidation of homocysteine since 6-ferrocenylhexanethiol acted as a good electron transfer mediator. Moreover, the MoS2 nanoparticles served as modifiers to covalently immobilize FcC6SH and enhance the electrochemical active surface area. Highly sensitive determination of homocysteine was achieved with a linear range from 2.0 to 100 µmol L−1 and a minimum detectable concentration of 0.30 µmol L−1 by chronoamperometry. The constructed sensor was applied to the analysis of immunoglobulin G (IgG) samples with satisfactory results.

description: The aim of this work is to characterize the average Fe K emission properties of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the source rest-frame. We selected a sample of 248 AGNs from the 2XMM catalog, covering a wide redshift range 0 < z < 5 and with the EPIC-PN net 2-10 keV rest-frame counts >=200 and power law photon indices in the range 1.5-2.2. We employed two fully independent rest-frame stacking procedures to compute the mean Fe K profile. The counting statistics for the integrated spectrum is comparable to the one available for the best studied local Seyferts. To identify the artifacts possibly introduced by the stacking procedure, we have carried out simulations. We report that the average Fe K line profile in our sample is best represented by a combination of a narrow and a broad line. The equivalent widths of the narrow and broad (parametrized with a diskline) components are ~30 eV and ~100 eV, respectively. We also discuss the results of more complex fits and the implications of the adopted continuum modeling on the broad line parameters and its detection significance.

The effects of age and visual stimuli on narrative production
Creators: name: Tsang, Clinton Yin Hang
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Narrative production has been used as a tool for assessing and treating individuals with acquired language disorders as well as cognitive-linguistic deficits. Because individuals who sustained these conditions tend to be older adults, it is important to distinguish between the effects of normal aging versus the effects of these conditions on narrative production. Research has also suggested that both aging and the use of different visual materials may influence performance on narrative production tasks. This study was designed to investigate the effects of aging and the use of different visual stimuli, namely, picture sequence versus video, in narrative production by normal healthy adults. Twenty younger and twenty older adults with no cognitive or language deficits participated in this study. Each participant produced two different narratives, one based on a picture sequence stimulus and the other based on a video stimulus. Lexical diversity, verbnoun ratio, cohesion, coherence and content richness of each narrative were measured and compared across age groups and task conditions. Results of the study showed that age did not have an effect on any of the dependent measures. Narratives elicited from the picture sequence condition appeared to have a higher lexical diversity than those elicited from the video condition, which was found to be due to the lower total number of words in narratives of the picture sequence condition. Task did not have an effect on verb-noun ratio, cohesion, coherence and content richness. Unexpectedly, a main effect of task was found on total number of words and the percentage of core propositions produced. Limitations and clinical implication of the current study, as well as future direction for research, are discussed.

description: Modelling was carried out using maximum entropy model (MaxEnt) to explore and predict the invasion potential of littleseed canarygrass (Phalaris minor Retz.) in India under current as well as future climatic conditions under Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) 4.5 and 8.5 for the years 2050 and 2070. Mutually least correlated 8 bioclimatic variables along with soil and elevation data were used for the modelling over 223 occurrence locations of the species. Jackknife test revealed the significance of temperature derived variables viz. temperature seasonality, annual mean temperature and minimum temperature of the coldest month in governing the potential distribution of P. minor. Currently, 21% of India’s area is either highly (9%) or moderately (12%) suitable as habitat for P. minor. Our model predicts approximately 90% contraction in the area considered to be highly or moderately suitable climatically between 2050 and 2070 under both moderate and high emissions scenarios. Thus, under future climate, a significant niche shift by the species and decreased suitability was observed compared to the current distribution. The present study is first of its kind in exploring the invasion potential of alien invasive weed P. minor under climate change scenarios which is a current threat to rice-wheat system in Indo-Gangetic plains of India.

description: In this paper we consider the spectral and nonlinear stability of periodic traveling wave solutions of a generalized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation. In particular, we resolve the long-standing question of nonlinear modulational stability by demonstrating that spectrally stable waves are nonlinearly stable when subject to small localized (integrable) perturbations. Our analysis is based upon detailed estimates of the linearized solution operator, which are complicated by the fact that the (necessarily essential) spectrum of the associated linearization intersects the imaginary axis at the origin. We carry out a numerical Evans function study of the spectral problem and find bands of spectrally stable periodic traveling waves, in close agreement with previous numerical studies of Frisch-She-Thual, Bar-Nepomnyashchy, Chang-Demekhin-Kopelevich, and others carried out by other techniques. We also compare predictions of the associated Whitham modulation equations, which formally describe the dynamics of weak large scale perturbations of a periodic wave train, with numerical time evolution studies, demonstrating their effectiveness at a practical level. For the reader's convenience, we include in an appendix the corresponding treatment of the Swift-Hohenberg equation, a nonconservative counterpart of the generalized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation for which the nonlinear stability analysis is considerably simpler, together with numerical Evans function analyses extending spectral stability analyses of Mielke and Schneider.

description: Gegen die Coronakrise wird machtvoll und solidarisch gehandelt. Gegen die Klimakrise
fehlen ähnlich konsequente Maßnahmen. Die beiden Krisen sind vielfach
parallel und stellen teils ähnliche Herausforderungen an religiöse Bildung.
Sie unterscheiden sich aber vor allem in ihrer Zeitstruktur. Diese schwächt die
moralische Motivation in Klimafragen. Religiöse Bildung hat spezifische Ressourcen,
die Probleme zu bearbeiten, die beiden Krisen gemeinsam sind (z.B.
Reflexion von Retinität und Endlichkeit, Traditionen der Suffizienz und Solidarität),
und die moralische Motivation zu nachhaltigem Handeln zu stärken: durch
Förderung von Imaginations-, Komplexitäts- und Antizipationskompetenz sowie
durch Erzählung von Schöpfungsgeschichten und Reflexion des Schöpfungsglaubens
als Vision vernetzten zukunftsfähigen Lebens aus dem Sich-Geben
Gottes.

Involvement of mitogen-activated protein kinase signalling in plant microtubule function
Creators: name: Walia, Ankit
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Plants have developed sophisticated signalling networks that are involved in mediating developmental transitions and environmental signals. Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MPKs) are a class of signalling proteins that are involved in cellular processes that help plants to detect and initiate appropriate responses to numerous development and environmental inputs. The microtubule cytoskeleton plays a pivotal role in plant development and morphogenesis, although the mechanisms that regulate the microtubule-associated proteins and microtubule functions in plant cells are not well understood. I investigated whether perturbations in the microtubule organization triggered by the MICROTUBULE ORGANIZATION] temperature-sensitive mutant(morl-l) could lead to altered transcriptional activity, with a particular interest in the genes encoding signal transduction components. I showed that perturbations in the microtubule cytoskeleton, achieved through the microtubule disruption phenotype of mor1-1, led to changes in the expression of gene transcripts associated with diverse cellular processes, including changes in the expression of the PROPYZAMIDE HYPERSENSITIVE 1(PHS1) gene, a member of MPK-specific signal transduction pathway, which has been previously implicated in mediating cortical microtubule functions in plant cells. Through biochemical, cell biological and genetic tools, I identified MPK18 as one of the MPKs that interacts with the PHS1 phosphatase and demonstrated through reverse genetics analysis that manipulation of MPK18 results in conditional and subtle defects in the microtubule functionality. In contrast, analysis of MPK12, which was shown to also interact with PHS1, identified no microtubule-specific function. My live cell imaging studies revealed that the absence of MPK18 protein appears to have no effect on microtubule plus end growth and shrinkage rates, indicating that MPK18 indirectly influences microtubule functions. Based on the genetic analysis, MOR1 itself does not appear to be a target of the putative MPK18 signalling module. Preliminary attempts to obtain evidence for direct impacts of PHS activity on MOR1 failed to demonstrate that manipulation of PHS1 altered either subcellular localization or phosphorylation status of the MOR1 protein. These results provide a platform that should facilitate future investigations aimed at understanding the role of MPK signalling in the regulation of plant microtubule functions.

description: Bibliography: p. 57-74.
description: The purpose of the thesis was to establish a level-living index for an urban coIIIIllunity in order to clarify the concept and function of class. Level. of living refers here to the status which a person or family occupies with reference to the ownership of types of goods. The criteri9n used in the selection of the sample was gross family income. Two geographically, socially and economically diver­gent areas were sampled in the City of Calgary with one hundred and thirty-five single-family dwellings in each sample. The interview schedule was de??igned to obtain information on the possession or nonpossession of certain household amenities, cultural amenities and the condition of certain of those facilities. A Guttman scaling technique was applied to the data. Error of reproducibility for all scales obtained was ninety percent. A discussion of each scale and the implication of the study for the measurement of social class and urban blight is given.

description: Religiöse Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung (BNE) lässt sich nicht auf ökologische
Einzelthemen wie den Klimawandel fokussieren. Sie muss vielmehr ökologische
Krisen als Teil einer multiplen Krise betrachten. Der vorliegende Beitrag
fragt, welchen fachspezifischen Beitrag religiöse BNE zur Bewältigung dieser
Krise leisten kann. Hierzu werden zentrale theologische Themen wie Alterität,
Zeit und Mensch auf ihre religionspädagogische Relevanz hin befragt und Spannungsfelder
einer politisch orientierten religiösen BNE erarbeitet.

description: We study the hybrid inflationary potential in a regime where the defect field is light, and more than 60 e-folds of accelerated expansion occur after the symmetry breaking transition. Using analytic and numerical techniques, we then identify parameter values within this regime for which the statistics of the primordial curvature perturbation are significantly non-Gaussian. Focusing on this range of parameters, we provide a specific example which leads to an observationally consistent power spectrum, and a level of non-Gaussianity within current WMAP bounds and in reach of the Planck satellite. An interesting feature of this example is that the initial conditions at horizon crossing appear quite natural.

description: The exponential growth of astronomical data collected by both ground based and space borne instruments has fostered the growth of Astroinformatics: a new discipline laying at the intersection between astronomy, applied computer science, and information and computation (ICT) technologies. At the very heart of Astroinformatics is a complex set of methodologies usually called Data Mining (DM) or Knowledge Discovery in Data Bases (KDD). In the astronomical domain, DM/KDD are still in a very early usage stage, even though new methods and tools are being continuously deployed in order to cope with the Massive Data Sets (MDS) that can only grow in the future. In this paper, we briefly outline some general problems encountered when applying DM/KDD methods to astrophysical problems, and describe the DAME (DAta Mining & Exploration) web application. While specifically tailored to work on MDS, DAME can be effectively applied also to smaller data sets. As an illustration, we describe two application of DAME to two different problems: the identification of candidate globular clusters in external galaxies, and the classification of active galactic nuclei (AGN). We believe that tools and services of this nature will become increasingly necessary for the data-intensive astronomy (and indeed all sciences) in the 21st century.

description: The purpose of this paper is to provide a descriptive analysis of a reform movement and conflict which developed within a church congregation. Conflict erupted between those who opposed changes in the organization and practices of the church and those who led the reform movement which instituted them. Both aspects of the study are examined against the backdrop of the community. Data were collected from interviews and questionnaires and from church records and documents. Statistics supplied by the mining company and town supplemented this information. Several differences were found between those who supported change and those who did not. Those who opposed change were more concerned with survival or maintenance of the institution in and for itself. The reformers showed greater interest in religious training, the promotion of the intended meaning of the Christian symbols and worship and for service or involvement in the larger community . The parties of the conflict also differed on such characteristics as age, education and occupational position. Those who supported change tended to be younger, more educated and did not occupy the highest positions in the mining company. Other aspects of the community such as the radio, the press and social and recreational organizations also became involved in or were affected by the conflict in the church. The reform movement was ultimately rejected by the church with the aid of church courts which sent representatives to investigate, make and implement recommendations designed to resolve the conflict and provide a basis for reconciliation . Reconciliation was only partly achieved but the conflict was resolved; some people quit , many were able to compromise and the remainder joined other churches. Generally , the United Church of Canada appears to be unsusceptible to a change in goal orientation if the courts alone are used. The diversified membership of such an organization makes conflict over reorientation of goals inevitable. If the conflict becomes organized it prohibits change. The model provided by Dahrendorf was particularly appropriate for examining a problem of this kind since it was suited to answering the question, how could change have been brought about, conflict withstanding? But it was difficult to apply the model to this situation where the authority structure was not clearly defined. In the United Church while constitutionally the authority was vested in the church courts, historically it has lain with the congregation. Consequently, to institute changes it is necessary to reach a high degree of consensus among the members of the whole church body.
