The core self-evaluations personality construct : testing a bifactor model
Creators: name: Hughes, M
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The core self-evaluations personality construct (CSE) has been defined as a meta-trait comprising the subdomains of self-esteem (SE), generalised self-efficacy (GSE), neuroticism (N), and internal locus of control (LOC). The conceptualisation and operationalisation of CSE as a unitary construct has been criticised in its failure to account for the distinctiveness of the subdomains. To address this concern, our study tested a bifactor model, enabling the specific factors (SE, GSE, N, and LOC) to be empirically represented, independently of the general factor (CSE). Adult participants (N = 331; 65% community members, 35% undergraduate students) completed an online survey with established Likert scales of the relevant constructs. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the bifactor model provided the best fit for the data, compared to traditional representations of CSE as a single-factor or higher-order model. Each specific factor explained significant variance beyond its expression in the general factor. Structural equation modelling showed that the bifactor model was also superior to the higher-order model in predicting life satisfaction, a known correlate of CSE. The specific factors SE and LOC (but not GSE or N) contributed additional predictive utility beyond the general factor. Results of this study provide support for the distinctiveness and discriminant validity of the CSE subdomains.

description: We present a holographic description of four-dimensional single-scalar inflationary universes in terms of a three-dimensional quantum field theory. The holographic description correctly reproduces standard inflationary predictions in their regime of applicability. In the opposite case, wherein gravity is strongly coupled at early times, we propose a holographic description in terms of perturbative QFT and present models capable of satisfying the current observational constraints while exhibiting a phenomenology distinct from standard inflation. This provides a qualitatively new method for generating a nearly scale-invariant spectrum of primordial cosmological perturbations.

Primary photochemical processes in hexafluorobiacetyl
Creators: name: Reid, William John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Absolute photochemical quantum yields of hexafluoro-biacetyl vapour have been obtained at various exciting wavelengths between 250 and 440 nm over the range 0.5 - 400 torr. The yields are strongly dependent on pressure demonstrating that vibrational relaxation is the dominant process competing with unimolecular dissociation. It is found that two different states contribute to dissociation. One is identified as the excited singlet level reached on excitation. The other is attributed to the vibronic level reached on intersystem crossing from that initially formed vibronic state. The intersystem crossing rate constant has been shown to be a strong function of excitation energy. It is postulated that the first excited singlet state of hexafluorobiacetyl is photochemically inert unless it has at least 70 kcal of vibronic energy. This accounts for no decomposition being observed at the higher wavelengths. Temperature and quenching studies have shown that the equilibrated triplet state is unreactive photochemically. Phosphorescence lifetime measurements at very low pressures have confirmed that wall-deactivation for the relatively long lived equilibrated triplet species is important when the average distance which the triplet molecule can diffuse is of the same magnitude as the cell radius. The data from the various investigations are combined to give a description of the primary photochemical and photo-physical events. From this information a mechanism for the primary process in hexafluorobiacetyl is proposed and critically evaluated. Estimates of the specific rate constants for the photochemical processes are given and discussed.

description: We add fermions to an abelian-gauged hidden sector. We show that the lightest can be the dark matter with the right thermal relic abundance, and discovery is within reach of upcoming dark matter detectors. We also show that these fermions change Higgs boson phenomenology at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and in particular could induce a large invisible width to the lightest Higgs boson state. Such an invisibly decaying Higgs boson can be discovered with good significance in the vector boson fusion channel at the LHC.

description: We present the first comprehensive, comparative Spitzer/IRS study of the dust and gas properties of disks around young sun-like stars (K1-M5) and cool stars/brown dwarfs (M5-M9). The comparison of these two large samples of over 60 sources reveal major differences in the evolution of both the dust and gas components.We report the first detections of organic molecules in disks around brown dwarfs. The detection rate statistics and the line flux ratios of HCN and C2H2 show a striking diference between the two samples, demonstrating a significant under-abundance of HCN relative to C2H2 in the disk surface of cool stars. We propose this to originate from the large difference in the UV-irradiation around the two types of sources. The statistical comparison of the 10 micron silicate emission features also reveals a significant difference between the two samples. Cool stars and brown dwarfs show weaker features arising from more processed silicate grains in the disk atmosphere. These findings complement previous indications of flatter disk structures and longer disk lifetimes around cool stars.

description: Synchrotron X-ray emission components were recently detected in many young supernova remnants (SNRs). There is even an emerging class - SN1006, RXJ1713.72-3946, Vela Jr, and others - that is dominated by non-thermal emission in X-rays, also probably of synchrotron origin. Such emission results from electrons/positrons accelerated well above TeV energies in the spectral cut-off regime. In the case of diffusive shock acceleration, which is the most promising acceleration mechanism in SNRs, very strong magnetic fluctuations with amplitudes well above the mean magnetic field must be present. Starting from such a fluctuating field, we have simulated images of polarized X-ray emission of SNR shells and show that these are highly clumpy with high polarizations up to 50%. Another distinct characteristic of this emission is the strong intermittency, resulting from the fluctuating field amplifications. The details of this "twinkling" polarized X-ray emission of SNRs depend strongly on the magnetic-field fluctuation spectra, providing a potentially sensitive diagnostic tool. We demonstrate that the predicted characteristics can be studied with instruments that are currently being considered. These can give unique information on magnetic-field characteristics and high-energy particle acceleration in SNRs.

Are gamers better at anticipatory responding and anticipatory response inhibition?
Creators: name: Thongnoppakun, C
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Response inhibition is an executive modulating ability that supresses responses that are no longer relevant or required. The role of inhibition has been extensively examined in literature that proposes the notion that pathological gamers are comparable to those who suffer from other behavioural addictions such as substance abuse and gambling. This pathological framework argues that pathological gamers have underlying components of impulsivity and reduced inhibitory ability. On the other hand, there is an approach, defined as the adaptive framework, that argues response inhibition can be learned and improved like other cognitive abilities such and working memory and processing speeds. This thesis investigated the gaming-inhibition dyad to determine if the results would fit the pathological or the adaptive framework. Thirty-nine participants aged 19-69 (M=28.80, SD=13.80, 13 females) completed Dickman's (1990) impulsivity inventory and a questionnaire measuring their gaming experience A novel, gamified anticipatory response inhibition stop-signal task, ARI's staff‚ÄövÑvp, was developed to investigate participants stop-signal reaction times (SSRT). The results revealed a negative correlation between SSRT and videogame experience, implying that those with more game experience had faster inhibitory abilities. Furthermore, those with more gaming experience also responded more precisely. Impulsive underpinnings as a possible mediator for the gaming-inhibition was not found. The findings here predominantly support the adaptive framework; however, it is cautioned that the postulates of the pathological framework not be entirely dismissed.

description: We reinvestigate the dramatic rise in the S0 fraction, f_S0, within clusters since z ~ 0.5. In particular, we focus on the role of the global galaxy environment on f_S0 by compiling, either from our own observations or the literature, robust line-of-sight velocity dispersions, sigma's, for a sample of galaxy groups and clusters at 0.1 < z < 0.8 that have uniformly determined, published morphological fractions. We find that the trend of f_S0 with redshift is twice as strong for sigma < 750 km/s groups/poor clusters than for higher-sigma, rich clusters. From this result, we infer that over this redshift range galaxy-galaxy interactions, which are more effective in lower-sigma environments, are more responsible for transforming spiral galaxies into S0's than galaxy-environment processes, which are more effective in higher-sigma environments. The rapid, recent growth of the S0 population in groups and poor clusters implies that large numbers of progenitors exist in low-sigma systems at modest redshifts (~ 0.5), where morphologies and internal kinematics are within the measurement range of current technology.

description: Weakly-rotating turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection was studied experimentally and numerically. With increasing rotation and large enough Rayleigh number an abrupt transition from a turbulent state with nearly rotation-independent heat transport to another turbulent state with enhanced heat transfer is observed at a critical inverse Rossby number $1/Ro_c \simeq 0.4$. Whereas for $1/Ro < 1/Ro_c$ the strength of the large-scale convection-roll is either enhanced or essentially unmodified depending on parameters, its strength is increasingly diminished beyond $1/Ro_c$ where it competes with Ekman vortices that cause vertical fluid transport and thus heat-transfer enhancement.

Acute effects of caffeine on behavioural and ERP indices of attention in healthy, low consumers of caffeine
Creators: name: Undy, JW
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Caffeine is commonly used to enhance attentional processes. However, contention remains regarding the extent to which each attentional mechanism is affected by caffeine, and whether caffeine enhances attention over-and-above improvements in general arousal and sustained attention. Subsequently, the present study examined the acute effects of caffeine on behavioural (reaction time & accuracy) and electrophysiological (N1 ERP amplitude) measures of attention. During two separate sessions (separated by 7-14 days), twenty (14 female & 6 male) healthy, low consumers of caffeine (<150mg/day) completed an Attentional Network Task prior to ingesting either caffeine (200mg) or placebo, and again 30-minutes following ingestion. While a partial effect of caffeine upon the alerting and executive control networks was found, results of the present study suggested improvements in reaction time and accuracy following caffeine predominantly reflected a maintenance of general arousal and tonic alertness. It was concluded that caffeine primarily enhanced attentional processing by preventing fatigue and sustaining attention.

description: The Research is aimed at identifying the spatial distribution and variation of mobile phones network quality in the study area which is dominated by irregular topography, inselbergs and rock outcrops. To achieve this aim, fifty (50) sampled areas were selected in Dutsin-Ma Town based on the nature of their rugged terrain and rocky landscape. Smart phones were used to collect Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) data using systematic grid sampling technique to determine the network strength of MTN, GLOBACOM, AIRTEL, and ETISALAT. A total of one hundred (100) structured questionnaires were also distributed to residents to obtain the necessary information to validate the results from users’ perspective. The research found out that generally Dutsin-Ma is a not a town with good network as average (48%) and poor (36%) network quality dominates the area; only 16% of the areas have good network quality. From the questionnaire survey, majority (43%) of the respondents are using MTN because of its high quality and resistance especially in areas with rock outcrops.  It was also found that areas around Motel, Gidan Ruwa, Hayin Gada, all of relatively moderate relief (512-578m) has the best Network; Unguwar Tsamiya, Dan Kauye and Tsohuwar Kasuwa have average Network while areas like Unguwar Alkali and Unguwar Wakaji have poor network quality. It was therefore concluded that network challenges in some areas have (in addition to other factors) a strong connection with elevation, rugged terrain and rocky landscape. However, in some few instances (Kadangaru and Makarantar Gabas), quality of some network like GLO and Airtel increases with altitude. It was also found that rugged terrains constitute a barrier to successful installation of masts in many locations. The research recommended adequate town and landuse planning that will ensure improved spatial distribution of masts for quality phone signals of all networks across Dutsin-Ma area.

description: The purpose of this article is to study compactness of the complex Green operator on CR manifolds of hypersurface type. We introduce (CR-P_q), a potential theoretic condition on $(0,q)$-forms that generalizes Catlin's property (P_q) to CR manifolds of arbitrary codimension. We prove that if an embedded CR-manifold of hypersurface type satisfies (CR-P_q) and (CR-P_{n-1-q}) and is of real dimension at least five, then the complex Green operator is a compact operator on the Sobolev spaces $H^s_{0,q}(M)$, if $1\leq q \leq n-2$ and $s\geq 0$. We use CR-plurisubharmonic functions to build a microlocal norm that controls the totally real direction of the tangent bundle.

Testing a model predicting depression, anxiety and stress in parents of children with Down syndrome
Creators: name: Van Der Hek, JM
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Down syndrome is a disorder characterised by mild to moderate intellectual impairment, short stature and certain facial characteristics (Gokhale, Solanki & Agarwal, 2014). Caring for a child with Down syndrome can be challenging, placing immense strain on parents and negatively impacting their mental health. Falk, Norris and Quinn (2014) created a model (Model A) predicting distress in parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), suggesting that parental cognitions, social support and economic support play a mediating role between parental distress and their child's ASD severity and externalising behaviours. Further validation of Model A suggested that it might have universal applicability (Bones, 2017). In order to test this, 211 parents of children aged between 4 and 17 with Down syndrome, ADHD or no disorder were recruited for the current study. Model A predictors were found to hold in the whole sample when regression analysis was performed, however low correlations were found between socioeconomic factors and distress in the parents of Down syndrome children sample, indicating that an alternative model may better predict distress in this population. The results of the study support the efficacy of parent-focused interventions and the use of CBT in providing beneficial outcomes for both Down syndrome parents and their children.

description: The electronic structure, linear and nonlinear optical properties have been calculated for CuInX2 (X=S, Se, Te) chalcopyrite-structure single crystals using the state-of-the-art full potential linear augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method. We present results for band structure, density of states, and imaginary part of the frequency-dependent linear and nonlinear optical susceptibilities. We find that these crystals are semiconductors with direct band gaps. We have calculated the birefringence of these crystals. The birefringence is negative for CuInS2 and CuInSe2 while it is positive for CuInTe2 in agreement with the experimental data. Calculations are reported for the frequency-dependent complex second-order non-linear optical susceptibilities . The intra-band and inter-band contributions to the second harmonic generation increase when we replace S by Se and decrease when we replace Se by Te. We find that smaller energy band gap compounds have larger values of in agreement with the experimental data and previous theoretical calculations.

description: The solution of the axial U(1) problem, the role of the topology of the gauge group in forcing the breaking of axial symmetry in any irreducible representation of the observable algebra and the theta vacua structure are revisited in the temporal gauge with attention to the mathematical consistency of the derivations. Both realizations with strong and weak Gauss law are discussed; the control of the general mechanisms and structures is obtained on the basis of the localization of the (large) gauge transformations and the local generation of the chiral symmetry. The Schwinger model in the temporal gauge exactly reproduces the general results.

P1 event-related potential component modulations and behavioural inhibitory cueing effects in the presence of a distractor stimulus
Creators: name: Wilson, NR
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Inhibitory cueing effects (ICEs) denote slowed responses to a target stimulus caused by exposure to a cue appearing in the same location and are thought to improve the efficiency of visual search. Research has demonstrated the existence of two types of ICE ‚Äö- those that are generated along input pathways (sensory/perceptual; observed when the oculomotor system is suppressed) and those that are generated along output pathways (oculomotor; observed when the oculomotor system is active). Within a spatial cueing task using oculomotor suppressed (for input ICEs) and oculomotor active (for output ICEs) manipulations, the present study employed electroencephalography to study the effects of input and output ICEs on an early sensory/attentional event-related potential component (the P1) in the presence of a distractor stimulus. This study also explored the effects of ADHD symptomology on ICEs. Results showed ICEs (slower reaction times for cued trials compared to uncued trials) for both suppressed and active manipulations, but no difference in the magnitude of ICEs between the two. Additionally, while there was no overall difference in RTs between deficit and control levels, there was a marginally significant interaction such that controls had a significant ICE, but deficits' ICEs were marginal. No significant results were observed for P1 analyses. Results, limitations and future directions are discussed.
Variations in Integrated Galactic Initial Mass Functions due to Sampling Method and Cluster Mass Function

description: [abridged] Stars are thought to be formed predominantly in clusters. The clusters are formed following a cluster initial mass function (CMF) similar to the stellar initial mass function (IMF). Both the IMF and the CMF favour low-mass objects. The numerous low-mass clusters will lack high mass stars. If the integrated galactic initial mass function originates from stars formed in clusters, the IGIMF could be steeper than the IMF. We investigate how well constrained this steepening is and how it depends on the choice of sampling method and CMF. We compare analytic sampling to several implementations of random sampling of the IMF, and different CMFs. We implement different IGIMFs into GALEV to obtain colours and metallicities for galaxies. Choosing different ways of sampling the IMF results in different IGIMFs. Depending on the lower cluster mass limit and the slope of the cluster mass function, the steepening varies between very strong and negligible. We find the size of the effect is continuous as a function of the power-law slope of the CMF, if the CMF extends to masses smaller than the maximum stellarmass. The number of O-stars detected by GAIA might help in judging on the importance of the IGIMF effect. The impact of different IGIMFs on integrated galaxy photometry is small, within the intrinsic scatter of observed galaxies. Observations of gas fractions and metallicities could rule out at least the most extreme sampling methods. As we still do not understand the details of star formation, one sampling method cannot be favoured over another. Also, the CMF at very low cluster masses is not well constrained observationally. These uncertainties need to be taken into account when using an IGIMF, with severe implications for galaxy evolution models and interpretations of galaxy observations.

Production benefits recognition equally for verbs and nouns
Creators: name: O'Leary, MJ
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The memory improvement for words that are read aloud compared to silently (the production effect) was examined for people speaking verbs and people speaking nouns. Participants were 3 male and 14 female adults (age range = 19 - 46 years; mean age = 29 years) who spoke English as a first language, with normal or corrected vision. I examined whether the size of the production effect was different for people using verbs compared to nouns. I also examined participants' memory judgements for verbs and nouns following production. There was a large, significant increase in recognition for spoken words compared to silently read words. In contrast, there was no significant difference in the size of the effect when people spoke verbs compared to nouns. A Bayesian analysis indicated weak evidence that people's memory judgments do not differ following production of verbs versus nouns. These results indicate that the production effect is unaffected by word-class, which supports the idea that it could be used to improve teaching and learning outcomes in applied settings.
Stability of a metric f(R) gravity theory implies the Newtonian limit

description: We show that the existence of the Newtonian limit cannot work as a selection rule for choosing the correct gravity theory fromm the set of all L=f(R) ones. To this end we prove that stability of the ground state solution in arbitrary purely metric f(R) gravity implies the existence of the Newtonian limit of the theory. And the stability is assumed to be the fundamental viability criterion of any gravity theory. The Newtonian limit is either strict in the mathematical sense if the ground state is flat spacetime or approximate and valid on length scales smaller than the cosmological one if the ground state is de Sitter or AdS space. Hence regarding the Newtonian limit a metric f(R) gravity does not differ from GR with arbitrary Lambda. This is exceptional to Lagrangians solely depending on R and/or Ricci tensor. An independent selection rule is necessary.

description: Whereas the Solar System has Mars and Europa as the best candidates for finding fossil/extant life as we know it - based on complex carbon compounds and liquid water - the 263 (non-pulsar) planetary systems around other stars as known at 15 September 2008 could between them possess many more planets where life might exist. Moreover, the number of these exoplanetary systems is growing steadily, and with this growth there is an increase in the number of planets that could bear carbon-liquid water life. In this brief review the main methods by which exoplanets are being discovered are outlined, and then the discoveries that have so far been made are presented. Habitability is then discussed, and an outline presented of how a planet could be studied from afar to determine whether it is habitable, and whether it is indeed inhabited. This review is aimed at the astrobiology community, which spans many disciplines, few of which involve exoplanets. It is therefore at a basic level and concentrates on the major topics.

description: Resonant frequencies of the two-dimensional plasma in FETs increase with the reduction of the channel dimensions and can reach the THz range for sub-micron gate lengths. Nonlinear properties of the electron plasma in the transistor channel can be used for the detection and mixing of THz frequencies. At cryogenic temperatures resonant and gate voltage tunable detection related to plasma waves resonances, is observed. At room temperature, when plasma oscillations are overdamped, the FET can operate as an efficient broadband THz detector. We present the main theoretical and experimental results on THz detection by FETs in the context of their possible application for THz imaging.

Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics of the First and Second Kind: Averages and Fluctuations

description: We compare two approaches to nonequilibrium thermodynamics, the two-generator bracket formulation of time-evolution equations for averages and the macroscopic fluctuation theory, for an isothermal driven diffusive system under steady state conditions. The fluctuation dissipation relations of both approaches play an important role for a detailed comparison. The nonequilibrium Helmholtz free energies introduced in these two approaches differ as a result of boundary conditions. A Fokker-Planck equation derived by projection operator techniques properly reproduces long range fluctuations in nonequilibrium steady states and offers the most promising possibility to describe the physically relevant fluctuations around macroscopic averages for time-dependent nonequilibrium systems.

description: We present the newest statistical and numerical analysis of the matter and cosmic microwave background power spectrum with effects of the primordial magnetic field (PMF) included. New limits to the PMF strength and power spectral index are obtained based upon the accumulated data for both the matter and CMB power spectra on small angular scales. We find that a maximum develops in the probability distribution for a magnitude of the PMF of $|B_λ| = 0.85 \pm 1.25(\pm 1σ)$ nG on a comoving scale of at 1 Mpc, corresponding to upper limits of $\mathbf{< 2.10 nG} (68% \mathrm{CL})$ and $\mathbf{< 2.98 nG} (95% \mathrm{CL})$. While for the power spectral index we find $n_\mathrm{B}= -2.37^{+0.88}_{-0.73}(\pm 1σ)$, corresponding to upper limits of $ \mathbf{< -1.19} (68% \mathrm{CL})$ and $ \mathbf{< -0.25} (95% \mathrm{CL})$. This result provides new constraints on models for magnetic field generation and the physics of the early universe. We conclude that future observational programs for the CMB and matter power spectrum will likely provide not only upper limits but also lower limits to the PMF parameters.

Strong correlations via constrained-pairing mean-field theory

description: We present a mean-field approach for accurately describing strong correlations via electron number fluctuations and pairings constrained to an active space. Electron number conservation is broken and correct only on average but both spin and spatial symmetries are preserved. Optimized natural orbitals and occupations are determined by diagonalization of a mean-field Hamiltonian. This constrained-pairing mean-field theory (CPMFT) yields a two-particle density matrix ansatz that exclusively describe strong correlations. We demonstrate CPMFT accuracy with applications to the metal-insulator transition of large hydrogen clusters and molecular dissociation curves.

Place, people and policy : creating policy value from complexity
Creators: name: Farley, MJ
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The thesis applies complex dynamic system thinking to the context of place, people and policy. The thesis aims to contribute to closing an identified gap in policy literature and practice; specifically exploring the theoretical and practical advantages of a policy development model that is more reflective of contextual reality. This research explores and demonstrates the development of policy with a particular focus on place and people. The application of dynamic systems management to place, people, and policy is made viable through the development of a meta-framework that connects dimensions and their associated multiple perspectives. In particular, the thesis demonstrates how the use of a metaframework can assist the representation, understanding, explanation and utilisation of the complexity derived from societal connections, dynamics and contestability to create value through the design, implementation and evaluation of policy. The combination of information and the meta-framework structure supports a narrative that links cause with effect at and between both the practice and strategic dimensions across activities and outcomes that are relevant to people. It further allows, and arguably requires, interests to generate narratives within similar constructs as the basis for community conversations. The meta-framework is first elaborated and then applied to cases studies in different policy arenas. The case studies demonstrate the extension of what may simply be seen as a heuristic device for policy analysis into dynamic applications within place-based development. The cases combine literature with practice to reflect differing contexts: ‚Äö socio-economic pathways to new sectoral and community futures; ‚Äö industry fit to place, emerging values and thinking; and ‚Äö combining latent endogenous capital with emerging macro trends/policy to create new opportunity. The analysis of the case studies supports the proposition that the introduction of a dynamic systems logic meta-framework into public policy making: ‚Äö can provide a framework within which to apply and further develop concepts and tools that are useful in supporting the integration of multiple perspectives and complexity thinking; ‚Äö can improve public policy performance and productivity, and contribute to improved resource allocation, and measurement of success; and ‚Äö can support the proposition that understanding complexity provides the potential to identify innovative policy initiatives.
Exploring frustrated spin-systems using Projected Entangled Pair States (PEPS)

description: We study the nature of the ground state of the frustrated J1-J2 model and the J1-J3 model using a variational algorithm based on projected entangled-pair states (PEPS). By investigating spin-spin correlation functions, we observe a separation in regions with long-range and short-range order. A direct comparison with exact diagonalizations in the subspace of short-range valence bond singlets reveals that the system is well described by states within this subset in the short-range order regions. We discuss the question whether the system forms a spin-liquid, a plaquette valence bond crystal or a columnar dimer crystal in these regions.

description: Metal-poor globular clusters (GCs) are our local link to the earliest epochs of star formation and galaxy building. Studies of extragalactic GC systems using deep, high-quality imaging have revealed a small but significant slope to the color-magnitude relation for metal-poor GCs in a number of galaxies. We present a study of the M87 GC system using deep, archival HST/ACS imaging with the F606W and F814W filters, in which we find a significant color-magnitude relation for the metal-poor GCs. The slope of this relation in the I vs. V-I color-magnitude diagram ($γ_I=-0.024\pm0.006$) is perfectly consistent with expectations based on previously published results using data from the ACS Virgo Cluster Survey. The relation is driven by the most luminous GCs, those with $M_I
