Magdalen Home, Mount St. Canice : the early years
Creators: name: Baxter, Valerie J
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Prostitution was rife in nineteenth century Tasmania, and a variety of philanthropic efforts attempted to assist underprivileged girls who were involved or likely to become involved in the trade. Magdalen Home became the largest and most enduring of these endeavours. This thesis studies the early years of the Magdalen Home. Chapter 1 describes the life of Father William John Dunne, whose bequest provided the capital for the founding of the Home. Chapter 2 examines the will of Father Dunne, attempting to illustrate how, with careful execution, it provided funds for the institutiion to commence in 1893, with a substantial land holding and edifice. Chapter 3 looks at the role played by the Good Shepherd Order and the Catholic press in establishing the institution. Chapter 4 deals with the establishment of the commercial laundry and farm, which were to become mainstays of the Home. It also describes the building extensions up to 1900. Chapter 5, analyses the lives of inmates who were Wards of State, and describes the collusive relationship that developed between the Magdalen Home and the Neglected Children's Department in the early twentieth century. Finally, Chapter 6 describes the contribution of the religious and their auxilliaries to the prosperity of the institution, and concludes with the building of the Memorial Church in 1910.

description: Gaseous and liquid xenon particle detectors are being used in a number of applications including dark matter search and neutrino-less double beta decay experiments. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is often used in these detectors both as electrical insulator and as a light reflector to improve the efficiency of detection of scintillation photons. However, xenon emits in the vacuum ultraviolet wavelength region (175 nm) where the reflecting properties of PTFE are not sufficiently known. In this work we report on measurements of PTFE reflectance, including its angular distribution, for the xenon scintillation light. Various samples of PTFE, manufactured by different processes (extruded, expanded, skived and pressed) have been studied. The data were interpreted with a physical model comprising both specular and diffuse reflections. The reflectance obtained for these samples ranges from about 47% to 66% for VUV light. Fluoropolymers, namely ETFE, FEP and PFA were also measured.

We define Hochschild one-cocyles $B_+^γ$ which allows us to write down the combinatorial Dyson-Schwinger equations for noncommutative quantum field theory. One- and two-loops examples are explicitly worked out.

Effects of metal catalysed peroxide decomposition on the bleaching of mechanical pulp
Creators: name: Brown, DG
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Hydrogen peroxide is widely used as an industrial bleaching agent, particularly for the bleaching of mechanical pulps. Under the alkaline conditions required for effective bleaching a number of transition metal ions, including iron, copper and manganese, catalytically decompose peroxide resulting in a loss in the concentration of active bleaching reagent, with a subsequent reduction in the bleaching efficiency. In this study the effects of transition metal ions on the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide have been studied, both in the presence and absence of pulp. The influence of various additives, including sodium silicate and magnesium, on the rates of metal catalysed peroxide decomposition have also been studied. The results of studies of the stability of alkaline hydrogen peroxide solutions in the absence of pulp have demonstrated that the behaviour of transition metal ions towards decomposition depends on the hydrolysis species of the metal present. Changes in the rate of decomposition over the course of the reaction can be attributed to changes in the catalytically active species present. The addition of a number of additives to peroxide solutions containing added transition metal ions can also lead to changes in the observed catalytic activity, either accelerating the rate of decomposition or stabilizing the systems. In the presence of these additives a correlation was observed between the catalytic activity of the transition metals and the formation of transition metal-additive complexes, which could be monitored by UV-visible spectroscopy. This implies that a direct interaction between the metal ions and additives is responsible for the observed changes in the catalytic activity. It is proposed that the mechanism by which the additives operate is by the formation mixed hydrolysis species with the transition metal ions, with the resulting species having altered catalytic properties. Studies of the effects of metal catalysed decomposition in the presence of pulp were conducted using a P. radiata TMP. The addition of the desired metal ions to prechelated pulp enabled their catalytic activities to be determined individually. The effects of sodium silicate and magnesium on the rates of metal catalysed decomposition were also determined in the presence of pulp. Comparison of the behaviour of these systems in the presence and absence of pulp reveals that the inclusion of pulp can have a significant influence on the catalytic activities. These results demonstrate that it is not possible to predict the peroxide decomposition behaviour during bleaching from studies conducted in the absence of pulp.

This is followed by the application of the thesis, where in the first stage the description and presentation of the longitudinal data is described and presented and the results found using R are shown. Then, comparisons of the clustering algorithms using ARI are made. In the next chapter follows the interpretation of these results and the code used to implement the application are presented.

description: We study coherent pion production in neutrino-nucleus scattering in the energy region relevant to neutrino oscillation experiments of current interest. Our approach is based on a combined use of the Sato-Lee model of electroweak pion production on a nucleon and the Delta-hole model of pion-nucleus reactions. Thus we develop a model which describes pion-nucleus scattering and electroweak coherent pion production in a unified manner. Numerical calculations are carried out for the case of the 12C target. All the free parameters in our model are fixed by fitting to both total and elastic differential cross sections for pi-12C scattering. Then we demonstrate the reliability of our approach by confronting our prediction for the coherent pion photo-productions with data. Finally, we calculate total and differential cross sections for neutrino-induced coherent pion production, and some of the results are (will be) compared with the recent (forthcoming) data from K2K, SciBooNE and MiniBooNE. We also study effect of the non-locality of the Delta-propagation in the nucleus, and compare the elementary amplitudes used in different microscopic calculations.

description: Using the well-known trigonometric six-vertex solution of the Yang-Baxter equation we derive an integrable pairing Hamiltonian with anyonic degrees of freedom. The exact algebraic Bethe ansatz solution is obtained using standard techniques. From this model we obtain several limiting models, including the pairing Hamiltonian with p+ip-wave symmetry. An in-depth study of the p+ip model is then undertaken, including a mean-field analysis, analytic and numerical solution of the Bethe ansatz equations, and an investigation of the topological properties of the ground-state wavefunction. Our main result is that the ground-state phase diagram of the p+ip model consists of three phases. There is the known boundary line with gapless excitations that occurs for vanishing chemical potential, separating the topologically trivial strong pairing phase and the topologically non-trivial weak pairing phase. We argue that a second boundary line exists separating the weak pairing phase from a topologically trivial weak coupling BCS phase, which includes the Fermi sea in the limit of zero coupling. The ground state on this second boundary line is the Moore-Read state.

description: One important frontier for astronomical adaptive optics (AO) involves methods such as Multi-Object AO and Multi-Conjugate AO that have the potential to give a significantly larger field of view than conventional AO techniques. A second key emphasis over the next decade will be to push astronomical AO to visible wavelengths. We have conducted the first laboratory simulations of wide-field, laser guide star adaptive optics at visible wavelengths on a 10-meter-class telescope. These experiments, utilizing the UCO/Lick Observatory's Multi-Object / Laser Tomography Adaptive Optics (MOAO/LTAO) testbed, demonstrate new techniques in wavefront sensing and control that are crucial to future on-sky MOAO systems. We (1) test and confirm the feasibility of highly accurate atmospheric tomography with laser guide stars, (2) demonstrate key innovations allowing open-loop operation of Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors (with errors of ~30 nm) as will be needed for MOAO, and (3) build a complete error budget model describing system performance. The AO system maintains a performance of 32.4% Strehl on-axis, with 24.5% and 22.6% at 10" and 15", respectively, at a science wavelength of 710 nm (R-band) over the equivalent of 0.8 seconds of simulation. The MOAO-corrected field of view is ~25 times larger in area than that limited by anisoplanatism at R-band. Our error budget is composed of terms verified through independent, empirical experiments. Error terms arising from calibration inaccuracies and optical drift are comparable in magnitude to traditional terms like fitting error and tomographic error. This makes a strong case for implementing additional calibration facilities in future AO systems, including accelerometers on powered optics, 3D turbulators, telescope and LGS simulators, and external calibration ports for deformable mirrors.

description: We search for new variable B-type pulsators in the CoRoT data assembled primarily for planet detection, as part of CoRoT's Additional Programme. We aim to explore the properties of newly discovered B-type pulsators from the uninterrupted CoRoT space-based photometry and to compare them with known members of the Beta Cep and slowly pulsating B star (SPB) classes. We developed automated data analysis tools that include algorithms for jump correction, light-curve detrending, frequency detection, frequency combination search, and for frequency and period spacing searches. Besides numerous new, classical, slowly pulsating B stars, we find evidence for a new class of low-amplitude B-type pulsators between the SPB and Delta Sct instability strips, with a very broad range of frequencies and low amplitudes, as well as several slowly pulsating B stars with residual excess power at frequencies typically a factor three above their expected g-mode frequencies. The frequency data we obtained for numerous new B-type pulsators represent an appropriate starting point for further theoretical analyses of these stars, once their effective temperature, gravity, rotation velocity, and abundances will be derived spectroscopically in the framework of an ongoing FLAMES survey at the VLT.

description: A reflection model with three components, a specular spike, a specular lobe and a diffuse lobe is discussed. This model was successfully applied to describe reflection of xenon scintillation light (175 nm) by PTFE and other fluoropolymers and can be used for Monte Carlo simulation and analysis of scintillation detectors. The measured data favors a Trowbridge-Reitz distribution function of ellipsoidal micro-surfaces. The intensity of the coherent reflection increases with increasing angle of incidence, as expected, since the surface appears smoother at grazing angles. The total reflectance obtained for PTFE is about 70% for VUV light at normal incidence in vacuum and estimated to be up to 100% in contact with liquid xenon.
Medico-legal aspects of blood type testing.

Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: It is a trite observation that there is nothirg new under the sun, but it seams that the medico-legal applications of blood-group testing cannot be regarded as merely another of the applications of modern science for according to Furuhatai (1919) the significance of mixing the blood of the parties in a paternity suit was well known to the Chinese as early as 1247 A.D. So far as Europe was concerned, however, this knowledge appears to have remained unknown for it is not until the nineteenth century that the iso-haemagglutination reaction is described in the literature. The lateness of the recognition of this phenomenon is rather surprising in view of the fact that blood transfusions had been attempted since at least the seventeenth century, if not earlier, and many of the fatal accidents which resulted from these transfusions were undodbteAy due to haemagglutination. The possibility of transfusion was actually suggested as early as the sixteenth century by Hieronymus Cardanus and Magnus Pegalius, whilst Andreas Libavius (1615) actually described a suitable technique, although it is uncertain whether he carried out the experiment that he described. Most modern work in this field dates, however, from the publication, in 1628 of Harvey's Exercitatio Anatomica de Motu. Cordis et Saneuinis in Animalibus. The first reported successful transfusions from one animal to another, usually ascribed to Francesco Fall, was carried out shortly after the publication of Harvey's work being performed in 1654. This was soon followed by further experiments, carried out in England by such persona as Sir Christopher Wren, Sir Robert Boyle Edmund King and Thomas Cox. In 1665 a second successful transfusion was carried out by Richard Lower in. England who transfused the blood of one dog into another.

description: As part of a broad horizon scan, the ESA Earth Observation Science Strategy Foundation Study, combined with user consultation, consolidated a set of 23 non-exclusive guiding scientific questions in support of the Earth Observation Science Strategy. These questions, which contribute directly to the priority science themes identified in the ESA Earth Observation Science Strategy, provide a framework for establishing activities within ESA’s Earth Observation Programmes.

This version of the science questions is the result of extensive consultations with the Earth observation user community and stakeholders in the Earth Observation Programmes. These include:

The Advisory Committee on Earth Observation (ACEO) composed of independent scientists advising the ESA Director of Earth Observation Programmes

Two User Consultation workshops in 2023 and 2024 with open participation followed by online questionnaires

ESA Member States and associated national delegations

The resulting science questions focus on pressing Earth system science issues that can be addressed by using Earth observation (in combination with other datasets)

This report represents a key element of the final output from the Science Strategy Foundation Study, and summarises the guiding science questions and the process followed in their derivation. Each science question is expressed as a brief narrative, and a summary table of the main characteristics and geophysical observable requirements.

Principles of federal grants : with particular reference to the Australian federation.
Creators: name: Bellis, Leslie Victor
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The purpose of this essay is to examine the different possible bases upon which grants may be made from the 7ederal Government to the several State Governments in a Federation. The basic concept of federalism is sufficiently clear for general principles to be developed which will be applicable to any Federation. Nevertheless there are quite important differences between the main Federations of the present time. Each has evolved gradually and its form has been influenced by varied historical developments. It would be true to say that although general principles which will be valid for all Federations may be discovered, the application of those principles nvy differ in particular detail. Consequently, the examination which follows has boon made with direct reference to conditions in the Australian Federation. Australian terminology will be used, and at a later stage an examination will be made of the various types of grants made by the Federal Government in the Australian Federation. Despite the limitation of the analysis to a particular Federation, it is felt that the examination could be extended along the same lines to include the other maJor Federations. The examinatior will be divided into three parts. The first will establish alternative principles upon which federal grants could be made, and from the alternatives establish the principle which would give the most beneficial results. The second will analyse existing practice in Australia in the light of the principles which have emerged, and the third will draw conclusions as to possible lines of future development.

description: We calculate the spectral density of the phi meson in a hot bath of nucleons and pions using a general formalism relating self-energy to the forward scattering amplitude (FSA). In order to describe the low energy FSA, we use experimental data along with a background term. For the high energy FSA, a Regge parameterization is employed. We verify the resulting FSA using dispersion techniques. We find that the position of the peak of the spectral density is slightly shifted from its vacuum position and that its width is considerably increased. The width of the spectral density at a temperature of 150 MeV and at normal nuclear density is more than 90 MeV.

If the characteristic of F is not 2 or 3, it is known how to find it. In this paper, we treat the remaining two characteristics. To this end, we present a few new methods, implemented in Magma, which vary from the computation of centralisers of one root space in another to the computation of a specific part of the Lie algebra of derivations of $L$.

description: We consider simple random walk on a discrete cylinder with base a large d-dimensional torus of side-length N, when d is two or more. We develop a stochastic domination control on the local picture left by the random walk in boxes of side-length almost of order N, at certain random times comparable to the square of the number of sites in the base. We show a domination control in terms of the trace left in similar boxes by random interlacements in the infinite (d+1)-dimensional cubic lattice at a suitably adjusted level. As an application we derive a lower bound on the disconnection time of the discrete cylinder, which as a by-product shows the tightness of the laws of the ratio of the square of the number of sites in the base to the disconnection time. This fact had previously only been established when d is at least 17, in arXiv: math/0701414.

A study of the ornate antiphons in MS. Vat. lat. 5319
Creators: name: Colk, Alma Lorraine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: To date, there has been no detailed or comparative analysis of the repertory known as the Old-Roman Chant. Although the historical and liturgical problems created by the recent discovery of this repertory may be found in scattered writings, no one has published a detailed study of the music itself. Those that have written on the Old-Roman melodies have confined their attention to isolated examples. This study is concerned with the Introits, Offertories, and Communions of MS Vat. lat. 5319, an Old-Roman Graduale which dates from the late eleventh century. Whenever possible, a comparison has been made with their Gregorian counterparts. The introduction summarizes the basic, historical study of the Old-Roman repertory; the three main chapters treat each antiphon cycle in turn; and the final chapter places the work of this thesis in an overall context. That we are dealing with an early repertory is indicated by such features as the close relationship between the Communion antiphons and their verses and the striking uniformity in cadential patterns. Although the Old-Roman version bear a close musical relationship to the Gregorian, certain evidence indicates that they are earlier. The basic form of all the Old-Roman Mass antiphons is clearly a recurring psalm-tone formula which usually appears in an ornamented form throughout the chant. This feature is not as evident in the Gregorian melodies and may well be a link to an earlier oral tradition. An example is offered for the difference in melodic style between the Old-Roman Introits, Offertories, and Communions. The Offertories and Communions can be seen as elaborations of earlier simpler forms still represented by the Introits. In short, the ornate antiphons of MS Vat. lat. 5319 are shown to be, basically, redactions prior to their Gregorian counterparts.
GEORGE ORWELL "ANIMAL FARM"

description: The article examines George Orwell's dystopian novel *Animal Farm* as one of the most significant literary works of the 20th century, representing a political allegory of totalitarian regimes. The symbolism of the characters, key themes, and plot elements such as power, propaganda, manipulation, and the betrayal of ideals are analyzed. Special attention is given to issues of social inequality and political control, revealed through the allegorical depiction of revolution and its consequences. The article also discusses the historical contexts of the work's creation and its relevance in the modern world.

description: We consider the renormalization group improvement in the theory of the Standard Model Higgs boson playing the role of an inflaton with a strong non-minimal coupling to gravity. It suggests the range of the Higgs mass $135.6 {\rm GeV} \lesssim M_H\lesssim 184.5 {\rm GeV}$ compatible with the current CMB data (the lower WMAP bound on $n_s$), which is close to the widely accepted range dictated by the electroweak vacuum stability and perturbation theory bounds. We find the phenomenon of asymptotic freedom induced by this non-minimal curvature coupling, which brings the theory to the weak coupling domain everywhere except at the lower and upper boundary of this range. The renormalization group running of the basic quantity ${\boldmath $A_I$}$ -- the anomalous scaling in the non-minimally coupled Standard Model, which analytically determines all characteristics of the CMB spectrum -- brings ${\boldmath $A_I$}$ to small negative values at the inflation scale. This property is crucial for the above results and may also underlie the formation of initial conditions for the inflationary dynamics in quantum cosmology.
description: CMB bounds on the Higgs mass are quantitatively and qualitatively changed due to the effect of Goldstone modes, omitted in the first version; the discussion of gauge and parametrization dependence of the results is added

Fig. 108
Morgania (Omachthes) minutissima Cockerell, 1933a: 379, holotype ♀ (type locality: Aliwal North, South Africa) (NHML) examined.
Morgania (Pseudopasitess) rufula Cockerell, 1933a: 382–383, holotype ♀ (type locality: 38 miles E of Ceres, South Africa) (NHML) examined.
Diagnosis
The female of S. minutissima can be separated from that of all other species of the genus by the combination of the following characters: S6 bifid posteriorly, apical notch about as long as its apical width (Fig. 108E); Metasoma partially red (Fig. 108B); fore tibia and tarsi completely or largely red (Fig. 108A); Head only slightly wider than long, vertex conspicuously raised and rounded (Fig. 108C). Males were not available for study (see Eardley & Brothers 1997).
This characteristic species was described in detail by Eardley & Brothers (1997). Thus, to facilitate the identification only images are provided (Fig. 108) without repeating the description.
Additional material examined
None.
Distribution
Only known from the type localities in central South Africa (Eardley & Brothers 1997).
Host bees
Unknown.
Seasonal activity
November–January (Eardley & Brothers 1997).
Comment
The additional specimens mentioned by Eardley & Brothers (1997) are misidentifications and represent other species.

title: "Moments to Talk About": Designing for the Eudaimonic Gameplay Experience
Creators: name: Cole, Tom
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London

description: This thesis investigates the mixed-affect emotional experience of playing videogames. Its contribution is by way of a set of grounded theories that help us understand the game players' mixed-affect emotional experience, and that support analysts and designers in seeking to broaden and deepen emotional engagement in videogames. This was the product of three studies: First --- An analysis of magazine reviews for a selection of videogames suggested there were two kinds of challenge being presented. Functional challenge --- the commonly accepted notion of challenge, where dexterity and skill with the controls or strategy is used to overcome challenges, and emotional challenge --- where resolution of tension within the narrative, emotional exploration of ambiguities within the diegesis, or identification with characters is overcome with cognitive and affective effort. Second --- further investigation into the notion of emotional challenge become a reflection on the nature and definition of agency. A new theory of agency was constructed --- comprising of Interpretive, Actual, Mechanical, and Fictional Agency. Interpretive Fictional Agency was highlighted as particularly important in facilitating a mixed-affect gameplay experience. Third --- further interviews led to a core concept of `emotional exploration' --- an analogy that is useful in helping explain how to design for emotional challenge, why players would be interested in seeking it out, and how the mixed-affect emotional experience is constituted during gameplay. These three theories are integrated and the mixed-affect emotional experience of interest resulting from gameplay is defined as the ‘Eudaimonic Gameplay Experience’. It is hoped that this will help developers and researchers better understand how to analyse and design single-player videogames that increase the chances for a deep, reflective and more varied emotional experience to take place, and take advantage of the latent expressive and artistic potential that still remains under-explored in videogames.

description: We present an optimal O*(n^2) time algorithm for deciding if a metric space (X,d) on n points can be isometrically embedded into the plane endowed with the l_1-metric. It improves the O*(n^2 log^2 n) time algorithm of J. Edmonds (2008). Together with some ingredients introduced by J. Edmonds, our algorithm uses the concept of tight span and the injectivity of the l_1-plane. A different O*(n^2) time algorithm was recently proposed by D. Eppstein (2009).

description: Let f be a rational function such that the multipliers of all repelling periodic points are real. We prove that the Julia set of such a function belongs to a circle. Combining this with a result of Fatou we conclude that whenever J(f) belongs to a smooth curve, it also belongs to a circle. Then we discuss rational functions whose Julia sets belong to a circle.

description: (ABRIDGED) We have analysed the near-infrared photometric data from the Fourth Data Release (DR4) of the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Suvey (UKIDSS) Galactic Clusters Survey (GCS) to derive the cluster luminosity and mass functions, evaluate the extent of the cluster, and study the distribution and variability of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs down to the deuterium-burning limit. We have recovered most of the previously published members and found a total of 287 candidate members within the central 30 arcmin in the 0.5-0.009 Msun mass range, including new objects not previously reported in the literature. This new catalogue represents a homogeneous dataset of brown dwarf member candidates over the central 30 arcmin of the cluster. The expected photometric contamination by field objects with similar magnitudes and colours to sigma Orionis members is ~15%. We present evidence of variability at the 99.5% confidence level over ~yearly timescales in 10 member candidates that exhibit signs of youth and the presence of disks. The level of variability is low (<0.3 mag) and does not impact the derivation of the cluster luminosity and mass functions. Furthermore, we find a possible dearth of brown dwarfs within the central five arcmin of the cluster, which is not caused by a lower level of photometric sensitivity around the massive, O-type multiple star sigma Ori in the GCS survey. Using state-of-the-art theoretical models, we derived the luminosity and mass functions within the central 30 arcmin from the cluster centre, with completeness down to J = 19 mag, corresponding to masses ranging from 0.5 Msun down to the deuterium-burning mass boundary (~0.013 Msun). The mass function of sigma Orionis in this mass interval shows a power law index alpha = 0.5+/-0.2.

The geology and structure of the Zeehan region, West Tasmania.

Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: Since the discovery of tin at Mt. Heemskirk in 1876, and of galena at Zeehan in 1882, many geologists have worked on different problems within the region, chiefly on mineral fields or specific mines. The presence of fossiliferous Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian and Permian rocks has long been recognised but for many years the stratigraphical position and structural relationship of the older formations have been uncertain. Although detailed mapping is hindered by dense scrub, poor exposures and complex structures, significant advances have been made in recent years by geologists from State, University and mining institutions, especially since the identification of Middle Cambrian fossils in 1943. The thesis has as its foundation, therefore, the labour of several generations of geologists, to them a tribute is due.
Renormalization group trajectories between two fixed points

description: We report on our recent rigorous construction of complete renormalization group trajectories between two fixed points for the three-dimensional phi-four model with modified propagator considered by Brydges, Mitter and Scoppola (BMS). These are discrete critical trajectories which connect the ultraviolet Gaussian fixed point to the nontrivial BMS infrared fixed point which is an analogue of the Wilson--Fisher fixed point. The renormalization group map is defined rigorously and nonperturbatively, without using the hierarchical approximation. The trajectories are constructed by a fixed point argument in a suitable Banach space of sequences, where one perturbs a nonlinear one-dimensional iteration.

description: Direct measurements of magnetic fields in low-mass stars of spectral class M have become available during the last years. This contribution summarizes the data available on direct magnetic measurements in M dwarfs from Zeeman analysis in integrated and polarized light. Strong magnetic fields at kilo-Gauss strength are found throughout the whole M spectral range, and so far all field M dwarfs of spectral type M6 and later show strong magnetic fields. Zeeman Doppler images from polarized light find weaker fields, which may carry important information on magnetic field generation in partially and fully convective stars.
