description: Der deutsche Wissenschaftsrat hat in seinen Multimedia-Empfehlungen (http: //www.wrat.de/drucksachen/drs3536-98/drs3536-98.htm) vom Mai des vergangenen Jahres ein vehementes Plädoyer für den Einsatz multimedialer Komponenten in der Forschung, vor allem aber in Studium und Lehre ausgesprochen. Nachdrücklich wird darauf hingewiesen, daß Multimedia ein nicht hintergehbarer Teil moderner Hochschulstruktur sei: Damit die Hochschulen auf die neuen gesamtgesellschaftlichen Anforderungen angemessen reagieren können, ihrer komplexen Aufgabenstellung sowohl mit Blick auf den internationalen Wettbewerb wie auch auf die Arbeitsmarktchancen der Absolventen weiterhin gerecht werden können, ist die Einführung von Multimedia unerläßlich. Dafür wird sowohl eine Kompetenz- als auch eine Ausstattungsstrategie benötigt. Bibliotheken kommt bei solcher hochschulpolitischer Orientierung eine wichtige Rolle zu, werden sie doch als die Institutionen wahrgenommen, die gemeinsam mit den Rechen- und den Audiovisuellen Zentren die geforderte Kompetenz- und Ausstattungsstrategie entwickeln sollen im Dienste der gesamten Hochschule. So ist neben der Hardwareausstattung (mittelfristiges Ziel: jeder Student hat einen leistungsfähigen persönlichen Computer zur Verfügung) vor allem die Er- und Bearbeitung multimedialer Lehr- und Lernmaterialien als entscheidender Faktor für die Qualität einer Hochschule focusiert und das heißt in Zeiten des Globalhaushaltes auch: als entscheidender Faktor der Mittelvergabe. Das praktische Einlösen dieser Rolle zeigt sich bislang recht unterschiedlich, insgesamt jedoch noch verhalten und eher auf Projektbasis denn im Normalbetrieb realisiert. Eines solcher Projekte ist das Dissertationen online-Teilprojekt 4 Multimediadaten & Chemie (http://www2.ccc.uni-erlangen.de/diss_online/multimedia.html), ein anderes die multimedialen Bemühungen um MILESS (http://miless.uni-essen.de/), den Multimedialen Lehr- und Lernservers Essen. Der Vortrag versucht, einen kurzen Blick auf den aktuellen State of the Art einiger dieser existierenden Multimedia-Aktivitäten zu werfen.

description: Achieving strong interactions between individual photons enables a wide variety of exciting possibilities in quantum information science and many-body physics. Cold atoms interfaced with nanophotonic structures have emerged as a platform to realize novel forms of nonlinear interactions. In particular, when atoms are coupled to a photonic crystal waveguide (PCW), long-range atomic interactions can arise that are mediated by localized atom-photon bound states. We theoretically show that in such a system, the absorption of a single photon can change the band structure for a subsequent photon. This occurs because the first photon affects the atoms in the chain in an alternating fashion, thus leading to an effective period doubling of the system and a new optical band structure for the composite atom-nanophotonic system. We demonstrate how this mechanism can be engineered to realize a single-photon switch, where the first incoming photon switches the system from being highly transmissive to highly reflective, and analyze how signatures can be observed via non-classical correlations of the outgoing photon field.

description: We investigate the nonequilibrium dynamics of competing coexisting superconducting (SC) and charge-density wave (CDW) orders in an attractive Hubbard model. A time-periodic laser field $\vec{A}(t)$ lifts the SC-CDW degeneracy, since the CDW couples linearly to the field ($\vec{A}$), whereas SC couples in second order ($\vec{A}^2$) due to gauge invariance. This leads to a striking resonance: When the photon energy is red-detuned compared to the equilibrium single-particle energy gap, CDW is enhanced and SC is suppressed, while this behavior is reversed for blue detuning. Both orders oscillate with an emergent slow frequency, which is controlled by the small amplitude of a third induced order, namely $η$ pairing, given by the commutator of the two primary orders. The induced $η$ pairing is shown to control the enhancement and suppression of the dominant orders. Finally, we demonstrate that light-induced superconductivity is possible starting from a predominantly CDW initial state.

Non - legitimate illness, embodied experience and the moral career: the case of ME/CFS

description: The condition known as myalgic encephalomyelitis or chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is an illness of unknown aetiology which affects over 150 000 persons in the UK. Whilst the cause of the condition is the subject of intense medical debate, the official view is that it is a form of atypical depression or somatisation disorder. This view is at odds with the views of many sufferers who claim that ME/CFS is a pathological disease that renders them severely incapacitated. Sufferers' maintain that, because their condition is regarded as a minor, psychological illness, its' severity is not recognised. Thus, rather than being granted assistance, their appeals for help are often met with accusations of malingering or hypochondriasis. This, they argue, results in significant marginalisation. In short, sufferers' state that they experience bodily change that is profound and disabling, however, their claims to be `really ill', are ignored. ME/CFS is one of a number of conditions whose meanings are contested. Other such conditions include Gulf war syndrome, repetitive strain injury, organophosphate poisoning, and multiple chemical sensitivity. These conditions are worthy of sociological study because they `make visible' the way that social definitions of illness impact on the experience of illness. The data for this thesis is derived from an empirical study of sufferers' experiences of ME/CFS. Using both qualitative and quantitative research methods, the study explores the embodied experience of ME/CFS and the illness careers of sufferers. The findings of the study are analysed in the light of the sociological literature on `the cultural expectations surrounding illness', `embodiment' and `the experience of illness'. Whilst the past literature has either focused on `the cultural expectations surrounding illness' or `the experience of illness', this thesis brings together the two areas and uncovers the complex set of relations and pathways that emerge when ideas about illness clash. The findings have implications for the sociological understanding of the illness experience. They are particularly relevant because, as the chronically ill population expands, there is an increasing emphasis on individual responsibility for illness. Thus, whilst contested illnesses are a blatant example of what happens when sufferers' are held accountable for being ill, the findings have implications for the experience of all chronic illness.
Artist and Curator: interdisciplinary practitioners and their artist-curated exhibitions in a contemporary Australian context
Creators: name: Harding, Annika
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2023

description: There has been significant attention focused on the topic of the artist-curator (or artist as curator) in the last decade, but the literature has struggled to deal with the disparate models of artist-curatorship and the relationship between the practices of those who both make art and curate. My thesis locates itself within this gap in knowledge, while exploring how artist-curatorship has manifested in contemporary art and curatorial practice in an Australian context. I have established that the work of several influential practitioners demonstrates a long-standing commitment to interdisciplinary (artistic and curatorial) practice, reflecting all that they are and enriching all they do, including their remarkable artist-curated exhibitions. The practitioners that I focus on are Brenda L. Croft (Gurindji/Malgnin/Mudburra), Glenn Barkley, Jonathan Jones (Wiradjuri and Kamilaroi) and Brigid Noone. The evolution of curatorial practice and the idea of 'the curatorial' are crucial to my understanding of artist-curator practices and their interdisciplinarity. I have found that in an Australian context, artist-curator practices have been strongly influenced by the curatorial opportunities and experimental platforms developed by artists in artist-run-initiatives (ARIs), and by social and political factors, including notably the imperative of Indigenous practitioners to curate and develop interdisciplinary methodologies for practicing and presenting culture.

description: A Gedanken experiment is presented where an excited and a ground-state atom are positioned such that, within the former's half-life time, they exchange a photon with 50% probability. A measurement of their energy state will therefore indicate in 50% of the cases that no photon was exchanged. Yet other measurements would reveal that, by the mere possibility of exchange, the two atoms have become entangled. Consequently, the "no exchange" result, apparently precluding entanglement, is non-locally established between the atoms by this very entanglement. This quantum-mechanical version of the ancient Liar Paradox can be realized with already existing transmission schemes, with the addition of Bell's theorem applied to the no-exchange cases. Under appropriate probabilities, the initially-excited atom, still excited, can be entangled with additional atoms time and again, or alternatively, exert multipartite nonlocal correlations in an interaction free manner. When densely repeated several times, this result also gives rise to the Quantum Zeno effect, again exerted between distant atoms without photon exchange. We discuss these experiments as variants of Interaction-Free-Measurement, now generalized for both spatial and temporal uncertainties. We next employ weak measurements for elucidating the paradox. Interpretational issues are discussed in the conclusion, and a resolution is offered within the Two-State Vector Formalism and its new Heisenberg framework.

description: In verschiedenen empirischen Untersuchungen ist die hohe praktische Relevanz von Kooperationen im Bereich der Forschung und Entwicklung (FuE) bestätigt worden. Aber nicht jede FuE-Kooperation ist erfolgreich. Schon in der Anbahnungsphase einer FuE-Kooperation werden oft weitreichende Entscheidungen für oder gegen eine Kooperation getroffen. Die hier angewendeten Vorgehensweisen entbehren meist einer systematischen Vorgehensweise. Trotz der hohen Bedeutung von FuE-Kooperationen und ihrer Anbahnungsphase wurde dem Problem der erfolgreichen Anbahnung von FuE-Kooperationen in der Wissenschaft vergleichsweise wenig Beachtung geschenkt. Das im Rahmen dieser Arbeit entwickelte Instrumentarium greift diese Defizite auf und zeigt eine Möglichkeit ihrer Behebung. Der grundlegende Gedanke bei diesem Instrumentarium ist die systematische Überführung der Kooperationsziele in strukturelle Merkmale der Kooperation und (inhaltliche) Merkmale der Kooperationspartner basierend auf der Qualitätsmanagement-Methodik Quality Function Deployment und eines Verfahrens zur Lieferantenbewertung. Durch diese Vorgehensweise wird es dem anwendenden Unternehmen ermöglicht, systematisch und weitgehend objektiv den für seinen Anwendungsfall "richtigen" Kooperationspartner und die "richtige" Form der Kooperation (dargestellt durch die Ausprägungen der strukturellen Kooperationsmerkmale) zu ermitteln. Zum Nachweis der Eignung und Praktikabilität des entwickelten Gesamtinstrumentariums wird dieses anhand eines Fallbeispiels erprobt und diskutiert
A Study on Savings and Investment Preference of Nurse in the Hospital

description: This research examines investment behaviors and preferences among working women, particularlynurses in the Hospital, so one can understand how saving and budgeting habits with personal financialeducation come into play in guiding investment choices. Thus, this paper attempts to analyze how variousdemographic factors like age, marital status, education, and income affect their selection decisions. Thedata was collected by using the structured questionnaires and applying statistical tools of Chi-square andregression analysis on evaluating these factors with investment behavior. Results It reveals that despite alarge percentage of the respondents who were relatively financially literate, their investing choices areconservative also, in addition to preferring safe investments like bank deposits, post office savings, andpolicies of insurance. Such an attitude is driven primarily by a perceived need to save capital and, byextension, not to lose, with modest returns being acceptable in the name of long-term financial security.Interestingly, it also finds out that personal finance education is very important in influencing investmentbehavior in that women who have undertaken formal training on finances are more likely to diversify theirportfolios and take risks in a calculated manner. Nevertheless, significant numbers among the respondentscontinue to rely on the influence of families or general investment channels and there are many who evenlack self-confidence in their ability to make independent financial decisions.
Multiple-point principle with a scalar singlet extension of the Standard Model

description: We suggest a scalar singlet extension of the standard model, in which the multiple-point principle (MPP) condition of a vanishing Higgs potential at the Planck scale is realized. Although there have been lots of attempts to realize the MPP at the Planck scale, the realization with keeping naturalness is quite difficult. Our model can easily achieve the MPP at the Planck scale without large Higgs mass corrections. It is worth noting that the electroweak symmetry can be radiatively broken in our model. In the naturalness point of view, the singlet scalar mass should be of ${\cal O}(1)\,{\rm TeV}$ or less. We also consider right-handed neutrino extension of the model for neutrino mass generation. The model does not affect the MPP scenario, and might keep the naturalness with the new particle mass scale beyond TeV, thanks to accidental cancellation of Higgs mass corrections.

description: [English Below] Abstract Tension-und-Release ist ein einflussreiches Konzept, das in vielen verschiedenen Kunstarten von der bildenden bis zur darstellenden Kunst latent vorhanden ist, und Musik ist hier natürlich keine Ausnahme. Es ist keine Überraschung, dass Tension-und-Release eine bedeutende Rolle dabei spielt, das Publikum eines Kunstwerks während der gesamten Aufführung bei Laune zu halten. Insbesondere im Musikbereich ist das Konzept von Tension-und-Release oft in Verbindung mit harmonischen Funktionen untersucht worden und wird unter den Musiker/innen im Alltag vornehmlich aus dieser Perspektive diskutiert. Obwohl viele der Meinung sind, dass musikalischer Tension-und-Release hauptsächlich unter dem Gesichtspunkt der Harmonielehre zu betrachten ist, kann man mit Fug und Recht behaupten, dass dieses Konzept nicht auf den harmonischen Bereich beschränkt ist, sondern auch andere Facetten der Musik wie z. B. den Rhythmus und darüber hinaus die Metrik umfasst. Zudem trifft dieses Konzept nicht nur auf die erwähnten, verschiedenen Dimensionen der Musik zu, sondern tritt auch in verschiedenen Stufen auf. Somit wurde in dieser Forschung versucht, einen Schritt weiter in Richtung des Studiums musikalisches Tension-und-Release zu machen, indem der metrische Aspekt dieses Konzepts durch ein systematisches, hierarchisches Modell neu beleuchtet wird. Tension-and-release is an influential concept that is latent in a wide variety of arts ranging from the visual arts to performing arts, among which music is no exception. It comes as no surprise that tension and release play a remarkable role in keeping the audience of an art piece amused through the entire performance. In the music realm more specifically, the concept of tension and release has been often investigated in combination with harmonic functions and discussed among the musicians on a daily basis from this perspective by default. Although many are under the assumption that musical tension-and-release is investigated mainly from the harmony point of view, it is justifiable to say that this concept is not limited to harmony, but also other aspects of music such as rhythm beyond which the meter comes into play. Furthermore, this concept not only lays beneath the mentioned various dimensions of the music but also flows through its different scales. Consequently, it has been attempted in this research to put one step further toward studying musical tension and releases by shedding new light on the metrical aspect of this concept through a systematic hierarchical paradigm.
Irreversibility of Asymptotic Entanglement Manipulation Under Quantum Operations Completely Preserving Positivity of Partial Transpose

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We demonstrate the irreversibility of asymptotic entanglement manipulation under quantum operations that completely preserve the positivity of partial transpose (PPT), resolving a major open problem in quantum information theory. Our key tool is a new efficiently computable additive lower bound for the asymptotic relative entropy of entanglement with respect to PPT states, which can be used to evaluate the entanglement cost under local operations and classical communication (LOCC). We find that for any rank-two mixed state supporting on the $3\otimes3$ antisymmetric subspace, the amount of distillable entanglement by PPT operations is strictly smaller than one entanglement bit (ebit) while its entanglement cost under PPT operations is exactly one ebit. As byproduct, we find that for this class of states, both the Rains' bound and its regularization, are strictly less than the asymptotic relative entropy of entanglement. So, in general, there is no unique entanglement measure for the manipulation of entanglement by PPT operations. We further show a computable sufficient condition for the irreversibility of entanglement distillation by LOCC (or PPT) operations.

description: We investigated the transient relaxation of a Discontinuous Shear Thickening suspension of cornstarch in water. We performed 2 types of relaxation experiments starting from a steady shear in a parallel plate rheometer, followed by either stopping the top plate rotation and measuring the transient torque relaxation, or removing the torque on the plate and measuring the transient tool rotation. We found that at low weight fraction $ϕ_{eff}<58.8\pm0.4\%$, the suspensions exhibited a relaxation behavior consistent with a generalized Newtonian fluid. However, for larger weight fraction $58.8\% < ϕ_{eff} < 61.0\%$, near the liquid-solid transition $ϕ_c=61.0\pm0.7\%$, we found relaxation behaviors different from the generalized Newtonian model. The relaxation time in this range scales with the inverse of the critical shear rate at the onset of shear thickening. In this range the relaxation time was the same in both stress and rate controlled experiments, rather than the viscosity calculated from the relaxation time which is expected to be intrinsic material parameter in the generalized Newtonian model. The discrepancy between the measured relaxation times and the generalized Newtonian prediction was found to be up to $10^4$, and extrapolations diverge in the limit of $ϕ_c$ as the generalized Newtonian prediction approaches 0. At the highest weight fractions, the relaxation time scales were measured to be on the order of $\sim 1$ s. The fact that this timescale is resolvable by the naked eye may be important to understanding some of the dynamic phenomenon commonly observed in these systems. We also showed that using the critical shear rate $\dotγ_c$ at the onset of shear thickening to characterize the effective weight fraction can more precisely characterize material properties near the critical point $ϕ_c$, allowing us to resolve this transition so close to $ϕ_c$.

Incorporating nuclear vibrational energies into the -atom in molecules- analysis: An analytical study

description: The quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) is based on the clamped nucleus paradigm and solely working with the electronic wavefunctions, so does not include nuclear vibrations in the AIM analysis. On the other hand, the recently extended version of the QTAIM, called the multi-component QTAIM (MC-QTAIM), incorporates both electrons and quantum nuclei, i.e. those nuclei treated as quantum waves instead of clamped point charges, into the AIM analysis using non-adiabatic wavefunctions. Thus, the MC-QTAIM is the natural framework to incorporate the role of nuclear vibrations into the AIM analysis. In this study, within the context of the MC-QTAIM, the formalism of including nuclear vibrational energy in the atomic basin energy is developed in detail and its contribution is derived analytically using the recently proposed non-adiabatic Hartree product nuclear wavefunction. It is demonstrated that within the context of this wavefunction the quantum nuclei may be conceived pseudo-adiabatically as quantum oscillators and both isotropic harmonic and anisotropic anharmonic oscillator models are used to compute the zero-point nuclear vibrational energy contribution to the basin energies explicitly. Inspired by the results gained within the context of the MC-QTAIM analysis, a heuristic approach is proposed within the context of the QTAIM to include nuclear vibrational energy in the basin energy from the vibrational wavefunction derived adiabatically. The explicit calculation of the basin contribution of the zero-point vibrational energy using uncoupled harmonic oscillator model leads to results consistent with those derived from the MC-QTAIM.

description: The mass assembly history of the Milky Way can inform both theory of galaxy formation and the underlying cosmological model. Thus, observational constraints on the properties of both its baryonic and dark matter contents are sought. Here we show that hypervelocity stars (HVSs) can in principle provide such constraints. We model the observed velocity distribution of HVSs, produced by tidal break-up of stellar binaries caused by Sgr A*. Considering a Galactic Centre (GC) binary population consistent with that inferred in more observationally accessible regions, a fit to current HVS data with significance level > 5\% can only be obtained if the escape velocity from the GC to 50 kpc is $V_G < 850$ km/s, regardless of the enclosed mass distribution. When a NFW matter density profile for the dark matter halo is assumed, haloes with $V_G < 850$ km/s are in agreement with predictions in the $Λ$CDM model and that a subset of models around $M_{200} \sim 0.5-1.5 \times 10^{12}$ solar masses and $r_s < 35$ kpc can also reproduce Galactic circular velocity data. HVS data alone cannot currently exclude potentials with $V_G > 850$ km/s. Finally, specific constraints on the halo mass from HVS data are highly dependent on the assumed baryonic mass potentials. This first attempt to simultaneously constrain GC and dark halo properties is primarily hampered by the paucity and quality of data. It nevertheless demonstrates the potential of our method, that may be fully realised with the ESA Gaia mission.

Year: 2025

description: Synbiotics, a combination of probiotics and prebiotics, have emerged as a promising alternative to antibiotics in shrimp farming, offering several benefits for shrimp growth and health management. This article explores the role of synbiotics in enhancing shrimp culture by improving growth performance, immune response, digestion, and water quality. Synbiotics work through mechanisms such as competitive exclusion, pathogen antagonism, and immune stimulation. Research indicates that synbiotics promote disease resistance, enhance gut microbiota, and reduce environmental stressors like ammonia and nitrite. As shrimp farming intensifies, the use of synbiotics presents a sustainable approach to improve production efficiency, mitigate disease outbreaks, and reduce the negative impacts of antibiotics. Further optimization of synbiotic formulations is essential for maximizing their benefits in shrimp culture

description: We consider moderately trimmed sums of non-negative i.i.d. random variables. We show that for every distribution function there exists a proper moderate trimming such that for the trimmed sum a non-trivial strong law of large numbers holds. In case that the distribution function has regularly varying tails we give necessary and sufficient conditions on the trimming for a strong law of large numbers to hold.

description: We consider the Kaluza-Klein (KK) graviton and its decays in the presence of the light radion, the modulus of extra dimension, appearing naturally light due to classical scale invariance in warped gravity. Due to the presence of a sizable wavefunction overlap in the extra dimension between the KK graviton and the radion, the KK graviton can decay largely into a pair of radions, each of which decays into a pair of collimated photons or photon-jets. Focusing on the setup where the KK graviton has suppressed couplings to the Higgs boson and fermions, we discuss the bounds on the light radion in the parameter space where the photon-jets are relevant. Moreover, we pursue the possibility of distinguishing the scenario from the case with direct photon contributions by the angular distributions of photons in the LHC Run 2. Roles of KK graviton and radion as mediators of dark matter interactions, extensions with brane kinetic terms and the model with a holographic composite Higgs are also addressed.

description: A discrete Boltzmann model (DBM) is proposed to probe the Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) in two-component compressible flows. Each species has a flexible specific heat ratio and is described by one discrete Boltzmann equation (DBE). Independent discrete velocities are adopted for the two DBEs. The collision and force terms in the DBE account for the molecular collision and external force, respectively. Two types of force terms are exploited. In addition to recovering the modified Navier-Stokes equations in the hydrodynamic limit, the DBM has the capability of capturing detailed nonequilibrium effects. Furthermore, we use the DBM to investigate the dynamic process of the RTI. The invariants of tensors for nonequilibrium effects are presented and studied. For low Reynolds numbers, both global nonequilibrium manifestations and the growth rate of the entropy of mixing show three stages (i.e., the reducing, increasing, and then decreasing trends) in the evolution of the RTI. On the other hand, the early reducing tendency is suppressed and even eliminated for high Reynolds numbers. Relevant physical mechanisms are analyzed and discussed.
Mapping Brazilian art in public collections across the UK

Year: 2023
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis analyses acquisitions of art from Brazil by public museums in the UK. The aim is to understand the motivations behind museums’ decisions to permanently invest in artworks from that country and to reflect on museums’ agency in producing knowledge and defining art canons and art historical narratives through the objects they collect. Both acquisitions and museums’ agency are analysed through the lenses of Actor-Network Theory (ANT) and Decolonial Theory, paying attention to the actors and networks that contribute to both collecting practices and canon formation. This research was based on three premises: that museums are colonial institutions, that the objects in their holdings are the material culture used for art historical research, and that their collecting activity contributes, therefore, to the production of knowledge. To undertake this analysis, I carried out a comprehensive survey to map art from Brazil in the UK, contacting over 500 public institutions to ask whether they held any artwork from that country. The results of this quantitative data collection led me to choose two case studies to investigate closely, namely ESCALA – Essex Collection of Art from Latin America, and Tate.

description: CophiEditor is a Digital Scholarly Editing Web platform based on Domain Specific Languages (DSL-based DSE). We are developing this platform in the context of the GreekSchools-885222 ERC project in which it is being used for the constitutio textus of Philodemus of Gadara’s Arrangement of the Philosophers. The digital papyrological edition of these texts is challenging in many ways, as most of the Herculaneum papyri are highly fragmentary because they are carbonized and damaged. One of the main goals of the CophiEditor is to provide a full-fledged collaborative environment in order to support the scholar's editorial work. In this poster we show how the progress of CophiEditor eases the collaboration between scholars and the role played by the Web Annotation Data Model (WADM) for data representation and interchange.
THE AUTECOLOGY OF THE MEADOW THISTLE (Cirsium dissectum L. Hill) ON DEVON RHoS PASTURES, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE EFFECT OF MAJOR ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES ON THE POPULATION DYNAMICS

description: Semi-natural wet grassland communities are rapidly disappearing from the farmed landscape. Protection of remaining areas and restoration of degraded areas has become a priority with organisations concerned with the conservation of biodiversity in the U.K. The research described in this thesis provides an insight into the community dynamics of one particularly rare plant community, the Cirsio-Molinietum fen meadow (NVC M24). This was achieved by examining the autecology of Cirsium dissectum, one of the key indicator species of this community. The habitat environment where C. dissectum is present was characterised at eight Devon M24 locations and ten non-M24 locations. This revealed a particularly unique suite of environmental conditions. Soil water content was found to be relatively high with little seasonal fluctuation. Mineral nutrient status was characterised by particularly low phosphorus, below optimal nitrogen, ample calcium and potassium and a soil pH which was only mildly acid. The physiological characteristics of C. dissectum were determined by a series of controlled experiments. The species exhibited a high water requirement but was relatively tolerant of drought stress and prolonged dehydration. It was demonstrated that C. dissectum is well adapted to a low phosphorus environment, is tolerant of nitrogen levels considered below optimum for many plants and is relatively tolerant of shade. It can also recover from partial or total defoliation in a relatively short period of time without any loss in plant mass or carbohydrate reserves. From the physiological characteristics, it was concluded that C. dissectum conforms to the "stress-tolerant competitor" functional type. It was also concluded that the decline of the species is directly related to loss of habitat as a result of its degree of specialism and specific niche requirement. The implications for management of existing sites and restoration of degraded sites is discussed and an outline model of appropriate management actions is presented.
Probability density cloud as a geometrical tool to describe statistics of scattered light

Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics (astro-ph.IM)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: First-order statistics of scattered light is described using the representation of probability density cloud which visualizes a two-dimensional distribution for complex amplitude. The geometric parameters of the cloud are studied in detail and are connected to the statistical properties of phase. The moment-generating function for intensity is obtained in a closed form through these parameters. An example of exponentially modified normal distribution is provided to illustrate the functioning of this geometrical approach.

description: We demonstrate that quantum-critical spin dynamics can be probed in high magnetic fields using muon-spin relaxation ($μ^{+}$SR). Our model system is the strong-leg spin ladder bis(2,3-dimethylpyridinium) tetrabromocuprate (DIMPY). In the gapless Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid phase we observe finite-temperature scaling of the $μ^{+}$SR $1/T_1$ relaxation rate which allows us to determine the Luttinger parameter $K$. We discuss the benefits and limitations of local probes compared with inelastic neutron scattering.
