description: We construct quantum field theory in an analogue curved spacetime in Bose-Einstein condensates based on the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations, by exactly relating quantum particles in curved spacetime with Bogoliubov quasiparticle excitations in Bose-Einstein condensates. Here, we derive a simple formula relating the two, which can be used to calculate the particle creation spectrum by solving the time-dependent Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. Using our formulation, we numerically investigate particle creation in an analogue expanding Universe which can be expressed as Bogoliubov quasiparticles in an expanding Bose-Einstein condensate. We obtain its spectrum, which follows the thermal Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, the temperature of which is experimentally attainable. Our derivation of the analogy is useful for general Bose-Einstein condensates and not limited to homogeneous ones, and our simulation is the first example of particle creations by solving the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation in an inhomogeneous condensate.

Environmental planning and decision making for large-scale power projects
Creators: name: Le Marquand, David G.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This study focuses on the institutional problems involved in planning for large-scale energy and resource projects in B.C. Fundamental to planning for these projects is the resolution of the tension between economic growth and environmental quality. Concern is expressed that, to date, planning has stressed economic values at the expense of environmental values held in society. A more equitable planning structure is needed whereby interested groups in society may present informed views to the planners and decision-makers to help them achieve solutions that more nearly represent the public interest. To reach a solution that reflects the public interest an advocacy approach to planning is suggested in Chapter Two. This approach stresses interest group participation in the "planning process" to conduct planning that meets public expectations. In order that environmental interests are incorporated into the planning and decision-making for major power and resource projects, an environmental review agency is proposed. This agency would have the power to conduct is own investigations into issues that might affect the environment and advocate its findings in the debate over the proposed Projects. To test the suitability in British Columbia of the advocacy approach a number of criteria are developed, The criteria reflect some basic democratic values held in our society and the problems associated with institutional design. The criteria include public participation and representation, information generation, efficiency, equality, professional humility, natural justice, liberty and political leadership. The characteristics of B.C.'s political milieu are examined in Chapter Three to see what problems the implementation of the advocacy approach for environmental and resource planning might face in the province. Three characteristics of the political milieu are seen as possible constraints on the effective implementation of a review agency - materialist values held in the province, lack of strong interest groups and the dependence on resource extraction for economic prosperity. A case study of the planning and decision-making for the Bennett Dam on the Peace River, presented in Chapter Four, outlines the inadequacy of the planning process. Even though there have been some changes in planning procedures since the initial planning for the Peace project, two principal deficiencies remain - there is virtually no scope for public involvement in the planning process and the information produced is too highly technical to make for effective public participation. As a consequence major energy and resource planning will likely produce results that favour energy and development interests.

description: Experimental and modeling/simulation studies of phase equilibrium and growth morphologies of novel polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) mixtures of PS (polystyrene) and liquid crystals that exhibit a direct isotropic/smectic-A (lamellar) mesophase transition were performed for PS/10CB (decyl- cyanobiphenyl) and PS/12CB (dodecyl-cyanobiphenyl). Partial phase diagrams were determined using polarized optical microscopy (POM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) for different compositions of both materials, determining both phase separation (liquid/liquid demixing) and phase ordering (isotropic/smectic-A transition) temperatures. The Flory-Huggins theory of isotropic mixing and Maier-Saupe-McMillan theory for smectic-A liquid crystalline ordering were used to computationally determine phase diagrams for both systems, showing good agreement with the experimental results. In addition to thermodynamic observations, growth morphology relations were found depending on phase transition sequence, quench rate, and material composition. Three stages of liquid crystal-rich domain growth morphology were observed: spherical macroscale domain growth ("stage I"), highly anisotropic domain growth ("stage II"), and sub-micron spheroid domain growth ("stage III"). Nano-scale structure of spheroidal and spherocylindrical morphologies were then determined via two-dimensional simulation of a high-order Landau-de Gennes model. Morphologies observed during stage II growth are typical of di- rect isotropic/smectic-A phase transitions, such as highly anisotropic "batonnets" and filaments. These morphologies, which are found to be persistent in direct isotropic/smectic-A PDLCs, could provide new functionality and applications for these functional materials.

Subjects: Middle East, US foreign policy, General elections, international politics

description: The US presidential elections of 8 November 2016 will see two different visions of America’s future confronting one another. While most of the presidential debates have focussed on domestic issues, including the economy, trade issues and societal polarisation, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) has typically represented an important area for US foreign policy. In this context, it is important to speculate about the potential changes and continuities in the new US president’s approach to the MENA region, with particular focus on the objectives, tactics, instruments and partnerships of this policy. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump agree on very little, but they do seem to share the belief that President Barack Obama’s overall strategy and many tactics for the region have not worked well. This Future Note provides an overview of the many challenges confronting the next president in the MENA region, while advancing a number of informed predictions on the potential course of US foreign policy under a Clinton or Trump presidency.

This publication is part of the MENARA Future Notes series which in the form of policy briefs analyse ongoing events in the SEMCs and Middle East region, emphasising the implications for the EU, suggesting the best policy options and assessing plausible and preferable future scenarios.

description: Robotic aerial base stations (RABSs) that are able to anchor at tall urban landforms are expected to bring further flexibility to millimeter-wave (mmWave) multi-hop backhaul networks in highly dense urban environments. In this paper, a swarm of RABSs are deployed to construct a dynamic mmWave backhaul network according to the traffic spatial distribution, and relocate their positions in subsequent time epochs according to the traffic temporal dynamic. The overall energy efficiency of the proposed framework is maximized by determining the RABS deployment, relocation and route formation under the channel capacity and hop constraints. The problem is formulated as a mixed-integer linear fractional programming (MILFP) and a two-stage method is developed to overcome the computational complexity. A wide set of numerical investigations reveal that compared to fixed small cells, only half as many RABSs are required to cover the same volume of traffic demand.

description: We introduce the EMC algorithm for reconstructing a particle's 3D diffraction intensity from very many photon shot-noise limited 2D measurements, when the particle orientation in each measurement is unknown. The algorithm combines a maximization step (M) of the intensity's likelihood function, with expansion (E) and compression (C) steps that map the 3D intensity model to a redundant tomographic representation and back again. After a few iterations of the EMC update rule, the reconstructed intensity is given to the difference-map algorithm for reconstruction of the particle contrast. We demonstrate reconstructions with simulated data and investigate the effects of particle complexity, number of measurements, and the number of photons per measurement. The relatively transparent scaling behavior of our algorithm provides a first estimate of the data processing resources required for future single-particle imaging experiments.

Profiting from the past : the relationship between history and the tourist industry in Tasmania, 1856-1972
Creators: name: Young, FD
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis traces the developing relationship between history and the tourist industry in Tasmania from 1856 to 1972. Its title, Profiting from the Past, has two meanings, both major themes of the work. The first meaning, the literal, implies that the past may be treated as a commodity from which money may be made. The second meaning, the metaphorical, implies that people may benefit from a knowledge and understanding of what has gone before. That Tasmania had a past was all too apparent to both locals and tourists in 1856, the year in which the island was declared an independent colony-yet there was no \historical tourism\" as such. By 1972 the year when a newly-created government department assumed control of the state's major historical sites both Tasmania's generalised \"past\" and its wealth of discrete historical attractions many of them \"commodified\" were as large a factor in luring tourists to the state as was its much vaunted scenery. Throughout the period in question the manner in which Tasmania's past has been sought by tourists promoted to them and in some instances kept from them is examined and the benefits which they hoped to find in Tasmania's past are analysed. This analysis is carried out in the light of categories of 'past-related benefits' identified by David Lowenthal in The Past is a Foreign Country. The work of the promoters interpreters and exploiters of Tasmania's past is also considered. The inquiry into the ideologies driving this group is conducted in the light of J H Plumb's analysis in The Death of the Past. The development of historical tourism is also described in relation to the growth of Tasmania's tourist industry as a whole to the development of Tasmanian historiography and to the changing sensibilities of the Tasmanians themselves as they struggled to come to terms with a problematic past often from the standpoint of an unsatisfactory present. The effect of \"development\" and the role of the conservation movement are considered where these factors have influenced the evolution of the \"tourist-historical-landscape\" and hence the tourist industry. In every aspect of the selling of Tasmania's past its material preservation interpretation and promotion there has been both¬¨‚àë an ideological and a commercial element. This thesis concludes that in general the latter has overridden the former - thus literal profit has determined the nature of metaphorical profit. The implications this conclusion holds both for Tasmania's \"heritage\" and its \"heritage industry\" are considered in a closing chapter."

As illustration we show how using $q$-hydrodynamics one gets the $q$-dependent expressions for the dissipative entropy current and the corresponding ratios of the bulk and shear viscosities to entropy density, $ζ/s$ and $η/s$.

description: Engineering of Sport 15 - Proceedings from the 15th International Conference on the Engineering of Sport (ISEA 2024)
Performance analysis within sports is a pivotal element in the feedback process that coaches rely on. This process involves analysts processing numerous videos involving a specific athlete competing against various opponents and transforming these data-rich inputs into meaningful insights about the athlete's performance. In this paper we investigate the use of object detection models and how they can be implemented in Taekwondo to track player locations, this is combined with traditional analysis of using coding software such as SportsCode, Nacsport and Dartfish to produce a heatmap of common events during a bout such as kicks and punches.
Roman Africa's municipal patrons
Creators: name: Wilkins, PI
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Volume I of this dissertation commences with an examination of the epigraphic source material by which Africa's municipal patrons are mostly known. Municipal patrons are then discussed group by group (chapters II-VIII). These number four: group (A) (non-local administrators), group (B) (non-administrators of local or proximate origo), group (C) (administrators of local or proximate origo), group (D) (a small group conforming to none of the foregoing). Important provincial variations emerge for group (A) patrons, with those governing Numidia being routinely co-opted from the C2 on, while their counterparts in Africa Proconsularis (and the provinces later carved from it), whose co-optation was on a far more selective basis, are concentrated in the C1 and C4. Small communities rarely succeeded in co-opting group (A) administrators. Selectivity of group (B) patrons existed at all levels. Almost imperceptible for senators (other than women) it affected primarily municipal office holders and to a lesser degree equestrians (favouring those entered upon a career). For patrons beneath equestrian rank precedence was given to relatives of equestrians and senators, Carthaginian magistrates and collaterals, provincial priests and curatores rei publicae. Municipal dignitaries without these advantages are phased out by the early C2 in Africa Proconsularis to reappear infrequently in the C4. Three chapters (IX - XI) discuss patrons of provinces and curiae, and patroni incerti. Patrons of Africa's provinces are unknown outside of Mauretania until the Dominate. The exclusion of acting governors dates to Caesar. All patrons of curiae are local men and of modest rank, where only one curia was client. Prosopography as well as analysis and comparison of epigraphic material (notably honorific dedications) provides a viable means for predicating 'non-patrons' and patroni incerti of varying potentiality. The final chapter (XII) examines the nature of the patronal contract and variations in the quid pro quo according to the status of both patron and client. Volume II provides lists and tables to the text and alphabetical lists of the personae and clientelae involved. Lists of patrons with relevant details occupies volume III. The primary purpose of the thesis is to define the shifting criteria of eligibility to the municipal patronate in Africa according to the status of patron and client, and to determine chronological and provincial variations.

description: How does the politicisation of trade policy affect the lobbying strategies chosen by interest groups? Several studies have shown that business associations tend to focus more on inside lobbying and citizen groups more on outside lobbying. We argue that politicisation makes this difference in lobbying strategy even more pronounced. Facing an issue that is contested and publicly salient, we should see business actors move even more toward inside lobbying and citizen groups move even more toward outside lobbying. We test this argument using a unique combination of evidence from a survey with 691 interest groups and an analysis of Twitter usage with respect to the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) by 993 interest groups. The empirical evidence largely supports our argument. By making and testing this argument, we contribute to the literatures on the politicisation of trade policy and interest group strategies.

description: Our paper addresses the question of how governments respond to the politicisation of preferential trade agreements (PTA). How have governments responded to business interest mobilisation while negotiating PTAs? Moreover, if there has been an increase in the salience of a trade agreement, has this changed the government response? First, we assess politicisation in terms of the mobilisation patterns of private sector interests during PTA negotiations. Our central argument is that governments liberalise more when a broad range of business interests involving a large number of sectors mobilise in response to trade negotiations, as this would provide legitimacy to their policy positions. Second, we study governments’ reactions to the level of salience of the trade agreement at hand. We argue that governments liberalise less when the agreement in question is highly salient and provokes increased public debate. We take an actor-centred and comparative approach to our research questions and use a novel dataset of 157 PTAs covering the period from 2005 to 2018. Both of our hypotheses are supported by our analysis. Our results also reveal an important difference between PTA ‘depth’ and ‘rigidity’, which are often perceived as closely correlated in assessing trade openness.

description: The carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars constitute approximately one fifth of the metal-poor ([Fe/H] ~< -2) population but their origin is not well understood. The most widely accepted formation scenario, invokes mass-transfer of carbon-rich material from a thermally-pulsing asymptotic giant branch (TPAGB) primary star to a less massive main-sequence companion which is seen today. Recent studies explore the possibility that an initial mass function biased toward intermediate-mass stars is required to reproduce the observed CEMP fraction in stars with metallicity [Fe/H] < -2.5. These models also implicitly predict a large number of nitrogen-enhanced metal-poor (NEMP) stars which is not seen. We investigate whether the observed CEMP and NEMP to extremely metal-poor (EMP) ratios can be explained without invoking a change in the initial mass function. We confirm earlier findings that with current detailed TPAGB models the large observed CEMP fraction cannot be accounted for. We find that efficient third dredge up in low-mass (less than 1.25Msun), low-metallicity stars may offer at least a partial explanation to the large observed CEMP fraction while remaining consistent with the small observed NEMP fraction.

description: This resource is a single blog post created as part of the Day of Archaeology initiative. The Day of Archaeology project aimed to provide a window into the daily lives of archaeologists from all over the world. The project asked people working, studying or volunteering in the archaeological world to participate in a 'Day of Archaeology' each year by recording their day and sharing it through text, images or video on the Day of Archaeology blog.
The project asked anyone with a personal, professional or voluntary interest in archaeology to get involved, and help highlight the reasons why archaeology is vital to protect the past and inform our futures. The resulting Day of Archaeology project archive demonstrates the wide variety of work the archaeological profession undertakes day-to-day across the globe, and helps to raise public awareness of the relevance and importance of archaeology to the modern world.
The first ever Day of Archaeology was held in 2011 and, since then, the project had thousands of archaeologists take part in the event, from those working in the field through to specialists working in laboratories and behind computers. The last Day of Archaeology was on Friday 28th July 2017.
An evaluation of the usp dissolution apparatus

description: The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the USP dissolution apparatus. The test drug products used were two brands of chlorpromazine HC1 tablets which had been previously evaluated clinically. On the basis of the dissolution characteristics obtained with these and several other products, it was concluded that (a) simulated gastric fluid was the media of choice for tablets containing chlorpromazine HC1, (b) the geometry of the dissolution vessel had no significant effect on dissolution characteristics, (c) a ten mesh basket be substituted for the 40 mesh basket now specified by the USP, (d) the depth of the basket in the media should be 3 cm. rather than the 2 cm. now specified, (e) the pH effect of the media should be studied carefully before setting specifications for a drug product, (f) that the basket should be inserted into the media while rotating in order to prevent variations in dissolution characteristics, (g) the method is reproducible under standardized conditions, and (h) the method is as good or better than three other dissolution methods described in the literature. This abstract represents the true contents of the thesis submitted.

description: We have developed a new procedure to search for carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars from the Hamburg/ESO (HES) prism-survey plates. This method employs an extended line index for the CH G-band, which we demonstrate to have superior behavior when compared to the narrower G-band index formerly employed to estimate G-band strengths for these spectra. Although CEMP stars have been found previously among candidate metal-poor stars selected from the HES, the selection on metallicity undersamples the population of intermediate-metallicity CEMP stars (-2.5<=[Fe/H]<=-1.0); such stars are of importance for constraining the onset of the s-process in metal-deficient asymptotic giant-branch stars (thought to be associated with the origin of carbon for roughly 80% of CEMP stars). The new candidates also include substantial numbers of warmer carbon-enhanced stars, which were missed in previous HES searches for carbon stars due to selection criteria that emphasized stars with cooler temperatures. A first subsample, biased towards brighter stars (B<15.5), has been extracted from the scanned HES plates. After visual inspection, a list of 669 previously unidentified candidate CEMP stars was compiled. Follow-up spectroscopy for a pilot sample of 132 candidates was obtained with the Goodman spectrograph on the SOAR 4.1m telescope. Our results show that most of the observed stars lie in the targeted metallicity range, and possess prominent carbon absorption features at 4300A. The success rate for the identification of new CEMP stars is 43% (13 out of 30) for [Fe/H]

Since its professionalization in 1995, rugby union has grown in popularity across Europe and globally but also experienced a technological and analytical revolution. This evolution is centered around the use of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), essential tools for understanding the multifaceted aspects of performance that steer a team towards victory. This study hypothesizes that KPIs vary significantly across different leagues due to diverse playing styles, competition structures, and team dynamics. Previous research has often focused on KPIs within individual championships, but a comparative analysis across the major European leagues - the Top 14, the Premiership, and the United Rugby Championship - remains unexplored. Our research aims to fill this gap by analyzing these leagues, providing insights into their unique strategic dimensions. This comparative approach not only enriches our understanding of professional rugby's dynamics but also offers valuable implications for coaching, player development, and game strategy in the context of varying league characteristics.

description: We systematically study the possible signals at LHC of new vector-like quarks mainly coupled to the third generation. We consider heavy quarks T, B, X, Y of charges 2/3, -1/3, 5/3 and -4/3, respectively, in SU(2)_L isosinglets T_{L,R}, B_{L,R}, or isodoublets (T B)_{L,R}, (X T)_{L,R} or (B Y)_{L,R}. Analyses based on a fast detector simulation are presented for twelve different final states containing one, two, three or four charged leptons in several invariant mass regions, also considering various b quark multiplicities. It is shown that with the combination of the different channels the new quarks can be identified and their charged and neutral decays established. The comparison among final states also shows that the single lepton one offers the best discovery potential at LHC. For heavy quark masses of 500 GeV, the 5 sigma discovery luminosities range from 0.16 fb^-1 for a (X T)_{L,R} doublet to 1.9 fb^-1 for a B_{L,R} singlet.

description: Three chemical compounds (A1, A2, and A3) with long alkyl chains (C5, C8, and C10) were used in this work to improve the oleophilic and hydrophobic properties of blank flexible polyurethane (FPU) cubes for oil spill clean-up. Water sorption was observed to be reduced by almost 50% when compared to blank FPU, while crude oil sorption of modified FPU cubes was raised by A1 = 37.16, A2 = 42.68, and A3 = 45.94 g/g, as well as diesel fuel sorption by A1 = 36.72, A2 = 39.80, and A3 = 41.68 g/g. In the water-oil system, the sorption capacity of FPU cubes modified with three new oleophilic organic compounds was increased by A1 = 43.47, A2 = 44.49, and A3 = 45.15 g/g for crude oil spills and by A1 = 34.07, A2 = 34.16, and A3 = 36.05 g/g for diesel fuel spills, compared to blank FPU cubes of 27.29 and 22.28. The findings suggest that the modified FPU cubes could be utilized to clean up oil spills successfully.
