Analysis of the steady state hot deformation of aluminum
Creators: name: Barclay, George Allan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: It has been suggested by others that hot working is an extension of high temperature creep because of the similar observed dependencies of stress, strain rate, temperature and the similar activation energies of the two types of deformation. This suggestion has been evaluated for commercial purity aluminum by obtaining stress, strain rate and temperature data in the strain rate range 10⁻⁴ to 10¹/second. Published hot compression, hot torsion, and high temperature creep work of others is used to provide supplementary data. A combination of the published work of others with the present experimental work provides data in the strain rate range 10⁻⁷ to 10⁺²/second. From the present analysis, contradictions arise against the theory that hot working is an extension of high temperature creep. First, the method of evaluation of the material constant α in the hyperbolic stress-strain rate relation, [formula omitted], must change in going from creep to hot working. Secondly, the activation energy varies. Those that have suggested that hot working is an extension of high temperature creep found that α and the activation energy were independent of strain rate. Their work is compared to the present analysis and many discrepancies were found. The work in the literature left a data gap in the strain rate range 10⁻³ to 10⁰/second. Hot tensile tests and hot rolling tests were used to provide data in this gap.

description: Among the challenges of this pandemic, job burnout and job satisfaction have been severe and widespread issues among frontline – employees. Employees have a more significant risk of burnout than those in the periphery. The pandemic's daily struggle substantially impacts a person's daily pleasure and experiences with their job. As a result, this study investigates the impact of job burnout on job satisfaction among Filipino adolescents in selected areas of Central Luzon, Philippines. Based on the statistical findings, the respondents' job burnout significantly affects their job satisfaction (B= -.639, p=.000) with an associated probability value of 0.05 alpha level of significance.

Geology and mineralisation of the White Devil deposit, Tennant Creek, Northern Territory, Australia
Creators: name: Cozens, Gregory J
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Investigations into the textures in the ironstones, relationships between Au-Bi-Cu mineralisation and associated chlorite, metal zonation and distribution and paragenesis have been made on the White Devil Deposit in the Proterozoic Tennant Creek district of the Northern Territory. The textures within the ironstone revealed that they consist of intergrown and interlocking masses of magnetite laths pseudomorphed after hematite. The consistent textures and overgrowth of primary magnetite on the laths and in fractures indicates the ironstones existed in entirety and were deformed prior to magnetite alteration. The open porous lath texture of the ironstones has implications for ore deposition. The mineralising stage was accompanied by the deposition of chlorite. The gold, bismuth sulphosalts and chalcopyrite are intergrown with coarse grained chlorite in the spaces between the magnetite laths and around magnetite stringers. The chlorite associated with ore and altered sediments ranges from low temperature green Mg-rich pycnochlorite to high temperature blue Fe-rich ripidolite. Geothermometry has shown that the chlorite has a temperature range from 230 to 330¬¨‚àûC. Talc alteration of Mg chlorite occurred during the waning stage of the hydrothermal event. The metal zonation within the deposit is not clear, even within the orebodies studied. The initial hematite ironstone formed in chloride sediments within the shear. The fluids became more reduced and interacted with the hematite, altering it to magnetite. The mineralising stage saw the introduction of higher temperature fluids which interacted with the magnetite causing the deposition of gold and chlorite followed by bismuth and copper with associated chlorite at higher temperatures. As the fluids cooled, alteration of Mg chlorite to talc, martitisation and quartz flooding of the Pinter Ironstone occurred.

description: We consider the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) on a finite lattice with open boundaries. We show, using the recursive structure of the Markov matrix that encodes the dynamics, that there exist two transfer matrices $T_{L-1,L}$ and $\tilde{T}_{L-1,L}$ that intertwine the Markov matrices of consecutive system sizes: $\tilde{T}_{L-1,L}M_{L-1}=M_{L}T_{L-1,L}$. This semi-conjugation property of the dynamics provides an algebraic counterpart for the matrix-product representation of the steady state of the process.

description: We calculate the branching ratio of $B\to J/Ψπ^{0}$ with a mixed formalism that combines the QCD-improved factorization and the perturbative QCD approaches. The result is consistent with experimental data. The quite small penguin contribution in $B\to J/Ψπ^{0}$ decay can be calculated with this method. We suggest two methods to extract the weak phase $β$. One is through the dependence of the mixing induced CP asymmetry $S_{J/Ψπ^{0}}$ on the weak phase$β$, the other is from the relation of the total asymmetry $A_{CP}$ with the weak phase $β$. Our result shows that the deviation $ \bigtriangleup S_{J/ψπ^0}$ of the mixing induced CP asymmetry from $Sin(-2β)$ is of $ \mathcal{O}(10^{-3})$ and has much less uncertainty. The above $ \mathcal{O}(10^{-3})$ deviation can provide a good reference for identifying new physics.

description: We present new results on the shock around the southwest radio lobe of Centaurus A using data from the Chandra Very Large Programme observations. The X-ray spectrum of the emission around the outer southwestern edge of the lobe is well described by a single power-law model with Galactic absorption -- thermal models are strongly disfavoured, except in the region closest to the nucleus. We conclude that a significant fraction of the X-ray emission around the southwest part of the lobe is synchrotron, not thermal. We infer that in the region where the shock is strongest and the ambient gas density lowest, the inflation of the lobe is accelerating particles to X-ray synchrotron emitting energies, similar to supernova remnants such as SN1006. This interpretation resolves a problem of our earlier, purely thermal, interpretation for this emission, namely that the density compression across the shock was required to be much larger than the theoretically expected factor of 4. We estimate that the lobe is expanding to the southwest with a velocity of ~2600 km/s, roughly Mach 8 relative to the ambient medium. We discuss the spatial variation of spectral index across the shock region, concluding that our observations constrain gamma_max for the accelerated particles to be 10^8 at the strongest part of the shock, consistent with expectations from diffusive shock acceleration theory. Finally, we consider the implications of these results for the production of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) and TeV emission from Centaurus A, concluding that the shock front region is unlikely to be a significant source of UHECRs, but that TeV emission from this region is expected at levels comparable to current limits at TeV energies, for plausible assumed magnetic field strengths.

In this approach the combinatorial possibilities to consider become very much involved even for a small number of players, which has hindered a precise analysis in previous works. We here present a systematic way to reach the solution for a general number of players, and show that this game is an example of conflict between the group and the individual interests.

Aspects of the conservation biology of Helipterum albicans (Hook.) P.G. Wilson
Creators: name: Gilfedder, Louise
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The straw daisy Helipterum albicans ssp. albicans var. incanum (Hook.) P.G.Wilson forme incanum is endangered, and is in serious risk of disappearing from the wild within one or two decades if present land use and other causal factors continue to operate. H. albicans may have been a naturally rare species, but its current endangered status is the result of anthropogenic processes. It is a species that occurs in temperate grassy ecosystems, the vegetation type most altered for grazing and agriculture. H. albicans was once more widespread in its distribution, but currently it is restricted to a small number of fragmented and scattered populations in north west and central Tasmania on land that is managed for grazing. Floristic data were collected from 24 sites where H. albicans occurs, and five floristic groupings were recognized. These were from sites at altitudes ranging from 60 m to 1200m on soils derived from basalt, mudstone, glacial and lateritic deposits, and in areas with both high and low mean annual rainfall. Genotypic and phenotypic variation were established for different populations of H. albicans in terms of morphology, germination and response to experimental treatments. H. albicans has a high rate of seed production, and the seeds have virtually no dormancy period and require no special treatment to stimulate germination. Moderate to high germination success is achieved at a range of temperatures from 5-30¬¨‚àûC. H. albicans has an achene with a well developed pappus suited to wind dispersal, and the wind dispersal of large quantities of seed which form a transient and short-lived seedbank appears to be a more critical strategy for regeneration than seed stored in the soil. Germinates of H. albicans represented less than 2% of the total number of individuals that germinated from the soil seed bank. H. albicans is not palatable to domestic stock, and there was little evidence of insect or animal predation. Exclosure studies revealed that H. albicans was a species that benefits from stock grazing in two principal ways. Grazing results in the soil disturbance necessary for regeneration, and reduces the biomass of the dominant grasses, allowing the establishment and growth of herbaceous species. The exotic composite Hypochoeris radicata is abundant in the soil seed bank and germinates earlier than Hypochoeris, giving it a competitive advantage. Glasshouse studies established Hypochoeris is able to supress the growth of H. albicans when they are grown together. H. albicans will require active conservation management in the form of weed control, grazing and a suitable fire regime to ensure its survival in the wild.
Specialty, Institution and Evaluator Influence on End of Rotation Form Written Comments and Numeric Data
Creators: name: Anderson, Lauren M
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Introduction: Assessment is a vital component of residency education. The Clinical Competency Committee (CCC) documents resident progression towards independent practice. Programs must provide quality data for CCC deliberations and use of the End of Rotation Form (EORF), which collects data from multiple evaluators in multiple settings, generally serves that goal. Previous studies have identified that EORFs are able to detect resident deficiencies. Written comments on the EORFs are not only able to highlight weaknesses but add value by picking up non-competency-based factors that are not present in numeric data. Written comments are a useful component of assessment; however, comments are often irrelevant and overwhelmingly positive. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between numeric EORF ratings, written comments, evaluators, and institution type. Methods: In this mixed methods study, one cohort of residents from three programs and two institutions (two anesthesia, one internal medicine) was examined. A total of 38 internal medicine residents completing training between 2016-2019 and 20 anesthesia residents in training from 2015-2019 were studied. Numeric scores were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Written comments were given two scores (relevance and orientation) and coded for themes using a deductive content analysis. Results: 6,530 evaluations were collected from the three programs. The findings revealed a lack of variation in the numeric data; of the 96,244 individual points, 793 were answered as no or below expected level which accounted for less than one percent (0.82%) of the total data. 70% of the 5,079 comments were irrelevant. Comments for each specialty focused on essential skills, such as procedural skills vs. creating a differential diagnosis however, work ethic, disposition and medical knowledge were common themes in all programs. Different types of evaluators (within the program department, external/outside department, peers) focused comments on different behaviors and displayed varying degrees of relevance and orientation. Conclusion: This study highlights the need for improving our graduate medical education assessment system. Beyond creating better forms, we must train faculty and residents on form composition and use, and how to write quality comments. We need to further examine the learning culture, the culture of assessment.

The homotopy classification is no longer provided by the Hopf invariant, but rather by the set of integer homotopy invariants proposed by Pontrjagin. The nature of these invariants depends on the boundary conditions. A set of tightly wound parallel vortices of the usual Hopfion structure is observed to form a bunch of intertwined vortices or unwind completely, depending on the boundary conditions.

Theories of hot-pressing : plastic flow contribution
Creators: name: Rao, A. Sadananda
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The contribution of plastic flow to overall densification of a powder compact during hot-pressing has been analysed. The basis of this analysis is the incorporation of hot-working characteristics of materials at elevated temperatures into an equation applicable to hot-pressing conditions. The empirical equation relating steady state strain rate to stress is ἐ = Aσn and for the densification of a powder compact, the strain rate [formula omitted] The particles are assumed to be spheres and four different packing geometric configurations: cubic, orthorhombic, rhombic dodecahedron and b.c.c. are considered. Taking into consideration the effective stress acting at the points of contact, the equations for the strain rate can be combined and arranged into another equation which is shown below:[formula omitted] where α₁ and ϐ are geometric constants and can be calculated from the packing geometry. 'A' and 'n' are material constants. D is the relative density of the compact, and ‘R’ is the radius of sphere at any stage of deformation in arbitrary units. Computerized plots of D vs t were obtained for lead-2% antimony, nickel and alumina. Experimental verification of these plots was carried out using hot-pressing data for lead-2% antimony, nickel and alumina spheres. The hot-compaction experiments were carried out over a range of temperatures for each material and under different pressures. The experimental data fitted well with the theoretical prediction for the orthorhombic model. However, a deviation at the initial stage of compaction was encountered in most cases. This deviation was explained on the basis of the contribution to densification by particle movement or rearrangement at the initial stage, which could not be taken into account in the theoretical derivation. The stress concentration factor i.e., the effective stress acting at necks between particles has been calculated. This was found to be very much higher than that previously used by other workers. The theoretical equation for the effective stress is [formula omitted]. This equation predicts an effective stress, which is more than an order of magnitude higher than that predicted by several empirical equations used previously.
Youth attitudes to enterprise : an evaluation of the Achievement Australia \venture\" program from one perspective"
Creators: name: Edwards, JM
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Young Achievement Australia (YAA) provides several forms of enterprise styled education programs. One program is the Venture program for adolescents. It could be argued that participants in the Venture program act as entrepreneurs, creating and operating a new small business, using goods and services they have designed or adapted. The new business operates in the real business world. The relationship between the Venture program and participants' attitudes to enterprise form the core of this research. Thus an evaluation of this program was undertaken in 1993. The evaluation was divided into four components: a demographic survey, an attitude test, participant observations and a telephone survey. Data were obtained from three perspectives, while the demographic survey provided sample details. All (118) Tasmanian Venture participants were offered the demographic and attitude surveys, the latter on a pre-post basis. All (26) participants of Group 1 were observed by the researcher for six months. Ten participants from Group 1 were surveyed by telephone on completion of the program. The attitude test was based on the Entrepreneurial Attitude Orientation (EAO) instrument, which was used by Robinson et al. (1991) to distinguish entrepreneurs from non-entrepreneurs on the basis of attitudinal differences. The four attitude subscales which were studied related to affective, cognitive and conative aspects concerned with . achievement in business, self esteem in business, personal control in business and innovation in business. Seven of the twelve subscale components of the modified EA0 instrument were found to have acceptable internal consistency reliability. Of these seven subscale components, five showed significant differences between the pre-and post-test scores. One subscale component, self-esteem conation, showed a significant positive change in attitudes for the grouped Venture participants. The remaining four subscale components recorded negative attitude changes. The telephone survey provided insight into the attitude systems of individual Venture participants. Both negative and positive entrepreneurial behavioural intentions were evident in the attitude systems. Whole group attitude changes were thus detected in five of the twelve subscale components of the attitude test and individual attitude changes were detected by the telephone survey. From participant observation, limited evidence of true entrepreneurial behaviour was found. As far as attitudes are concerned, it was found that entrepreneurial qualities such as innovation may be actually stifled by the program. The program, however, is related to positive changes in participants self-esteem in relation to entrepreneurial behaviour. Venture also impacts on career options of participants.

The effect of temporal predictability on habituation : empirical studies and connectionist models
Creators: name: Daniels, Brett Anthony
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis reviews existing models of habituation of the orienting response (OR) and presents four experiments designed to clarify contentious issues in the existing literature. A new connectionist model of habituation is developed and its performance in various experimental situations simulated. Models created to account for habituation can be classified into two types: 1)Comparator models in which the subject compares an internal trace of past stimulation with current stimulation and the orienting response is an index of the disparity between the two. 2) The dual-process model in which habituation is the result of two independent processes of inferred habituation and inferred sensitisation acting within the stimulus-response (S-R) pathway. A major difference between the two types of model is that comparator models of habituation (Ohman, 1979; Sokolov, 1960; Wagner, 1981) postulate that the internal trace encodes extrapolatory or temporally predictive information about the stimulus series, while the dual-process model (Groves & Thompson, 1970) does not suppose that temporal information is encoded. Both the elicitation of a response by stimulus omission, and the effect of 1ST variability on the rate of habituation, are vital indicators of the merit of each approach. Only if both phenomena are demonstrated to exist must a valid habituation model incorporate a mechanism of temporal encoding. Prior evidence for a response to stimulus omission and an effect of 1ST variability on rate of habituation was inconclusive. Four experiments were conducted to examine these and related phenomena in habituation of the skin conductance response (SCR). It was concluded, from the results of these experiments, that both response to stimulus omission and an effect of ISI variability on the course of habituation had a significant effect at short ISIs (1- 2s) but no significant effect was at longer ISIs (>10s). A model of OR habituation was devised that was capable of incorporating the new results as well as other published results. A neural network or - connectionist modelling framework was chosen for this purpose, for its quantitative nature, ease of simulation and neurobiological plausibility. Five different connectionist models were constructed and simulations were performed to assess the performance of each model in experiments testing various temporal phenomena. It was concluded that a model incorporating delta-rule learning of physical features plus learning of temporal relationships by the learning of the interval between stimuli could most satisfactorily simulate the observed empirical results. The connectionist models and their performance in experimental simulations were related to traditional models of habituation.
Suite #1 for Solo 'Cello (1993)
Creators: name: Elia, Anthony J.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1993
Subjects: Music

description: This work is for solo 'cello. The first of several suites of that kind written by the composer in early 1993 for Mrs. Eleanor Diemer, one-time principal 'cellist of the Hudson Valley Philharmonic. This first attempt at such a suite is in the style of J.S. Bach, though much shorter and simpler. Subsequent 'Cello Suites developed different forms and styles (including a Suite written for 'Cellist Elsa Hilger, formerly principal 'cellist with the Philadelphia Orchestra). The most recent collection, soon to be made available, is the composer's "Magna Sonata" for Solo 'Cello, which runs over a thousand measures.
Short distance potential and the thick center vortex model

description: The short distance potentials between heavy SU(3) and SU(4) sources are calculated by increasing the role of vortex fluxes piercing Wilson loops with contributions close to the trivial center element and by fluctuating the vortex core size in the model of thick center vortices. By this method, a Coulombic potential consistent with Casimir scaling is obtained. In addition, all other features of the potential including a linear intermediate potential in agreement with Casimir scaling and a large distance potential proportional to the $N$-ality of the representation are restored. Therefore, the model of thick center vortices may be used as a phenomenological model, which is able to describe the potential for all regimes.

The mother-son relationship : an investigation of mutual responses
Creators: name: Falconer, Gabrielle
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis creates a narrative in which a child's growing independence and separation from the mother are dealt with. The importance of this relationship in the formulation of both their identities is exposed. I have identified the emotions involved in the separation such as loneliness, protectiveness, frustration, jealousy, tenderness, isolation, rejection and abandonment. Accepted notions of the role of the mother have sentimentalised the relationship between the mother and child and this is expressed in much Western art. My personal experience as a mother has caused me to challenge these assumptions. Through an investigation of my personal experience I have achieved a deeper understanding of this aspect of women's lives. I have developed a concept of the mother as a separate body; a female body. Rather than seeing the child gain his distinct identity with the mother suffering a loss and abandonment, I have understood myself as also independent of my child and my role as a mother. Feminine sexuality is central to any such considerations and the relationship a woman has with her own mother is crucial to an understanding of motherhood and feminine experience. I have used my mother's participation, both actual and psychological, within my own experience of motherhood, as a case study. The sexual tension that exists between a mother and her male child and that is usually suppressed in representation, is revealed as an element of our interaction. I have found in the course of my research that much of the study done in this area is undertaken by those who have not experienced motherhood. I have achieved some fusion of theoretical analysis and personal on going experience in order to expand and evolve our understanding of this aspect of our lives.

A model for the cosmological evolution of low frequency radio sources

description: We present a new evolutionary model that describes the population properties of radio sources at frequencies <5 GHz, thus complementing the De Zotti et al. (2005) model, holding at higher frequencies. We find that simple analytic luminosity evolution is still sufficient to fit the wealth of available data on local luminosity functions, multi-frequency source counts, and redshift distributions. However, the fit requires a luminosity-dependent decline of source luminosities at high redshifts, at least for steep-spectrum sources, thus confirming earlier indications of a "downsizing" also for radio sources. The upturn of source counts at sub-mJy levels is accounted for by a straightforward extrapolation, using the empirical far-IR/radio correlation, of evolutionary models matching the far-IR counts and redshift distributions of star-forming galaxies. We also discuss the implications of the new model for the interpretation of data on large-scale clustering of radio sources and on the Integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect, and for the investigation of the contribution of discrete sources to the extragalactic background. As for the ISW effect, a new analysis exploiting a very clean CMB map, yields at a substantially higher significance than reported before.

Connecting to Revive: The Politics of Economic Restructuring in the Americas

description: Economic shocks present a pernicious problem for political societies as they are frequent and often leave lasting detrimental impacts on people and their communities. This cross-national study of three cities across the Western Hemisphere was conducted to better understand how cities can achieve resiliency after an economic shock. The economic shock analyzed is deindustrialization and the three cities chosen are Buffalo, New York and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the United States and Córdoba in Argentina. Political leaders often look for quick fixes to guide a city out of economic crisis while overlooking the powerful role social processes play in promoting economic change and resiliency. Principle among these processes is the degree of social connectivity, defined as the networking and collaboration between various nonstate and state actors. It builds on previous conceptualizations of governance as being multi-tiered, networked and diffuse. I use a comparative historical analysis of deindustrializing cities in order to better probe the social processes at play as well as the role of intergovernmental support, defined as the financial, political, and policy support that cities receive from either state or federal government. Data from 50 interviews with policymakers, economic development officials, business leaders, and community leaders in each of the three cities are used along with archival sources. The empirical data supports the argument that social connectivity, along with intergovernmental support, are indeed powerful factors in conditioning a city’s response to deindustrialization. Furthermore, when state and nonstate actors collaborated and connected at high rates, they were more effective at securing increased resources from state government. The study also revealed that early patterns of connectivity and collaboration among state and nonstate actors created a path dependency that more effectively facilitated effective responses to subsequent economic crises. This paper thus adds to our knowledge of urban resiliency, intergovernmental relations in a federal system, and processes of governance at the local level. In particular, it deepens our understanding of the social and political foundations of economic change and highlights the critical role collaborative governance plays in building resilient cities.
Characteristics of Tasmanian estuaries and catchments : physical attributes, population and land use
Creators: name: Graddon, DJ
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: Estuaries are the interface between the sea and drainage from the land. They can be severely affected by human activities within the catchment. Little is known of the conservation status of Tasmania's estuarine environments. This research is part of an Ocean Rescue 2000 (0R2000) funded project titled 'Regional classification of Tasmanian coastal waters - stage 2, estuaries'. The aim of this research was to augment available data on Tasmanian estuaries by deriving data on the physical attributes and human land use of the catchments of Tasmanian estuaries, and to rank catchments according to their conservation status and degree of human impact. The data derived complements the concurrent survey of estuarine biota and habitats being done as the major part of the 0R2000 project. The thesis mapped the catchments of 122 estuaries identified around the coastline of mainland Tasmania and the Bass Strait islands. These catchments were classified into five groups based on the physical attributes derived for each catchment. The division largely reflected the unique hydrological characteristics of the Tasmanian environment. Catchments in the west and south are characterised by high annual rainfall and high runoff. Catchments in the north-west and south-east have moderate rainfall and runoff, while catchments in the east, north and on the Bass Strait islands are relatively dry. Land clearance and broad categories of land use were determined for 60 catchments using available data derived from satellite images. Tasmanian catchments are highly conserved in comparison with most mainland states of Australia. Eleven out of these 60 catchments can be considered to be pristine with little human impact on the catchment or estuarine conservation values. More than 50% of all catchments are relatively uninhabited, particularly those catchments in the south and west of the state. However a small number of catchments are severely impacted by large scale land clearance and many others are threatened by human impacts. The degree of land clearance and human developments was found to increase greatly with proximity to estuaries. The highest levels of land clearance, population and urban development were detected in catchments along the south-east, east and north coasts of Tasmania.
