Emily's empire : Emily Dobson and the National Council of Women of Tasmania, 1899-1939
Creators: name: Jordan, RC
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Tasmanian women began to assert their right to participate in the public sphere in the mid 1880s and this continued into the mid-1930s even though this period, labelled as first wave feminism, is traditionally dated to 1914 in the western world. The National Council of Women of Tasmania (NCWT), established in 1899, was an umbrella organisation made up of delegates from affiliated organisations. Its stated aim was to establish a dialogue between women's organisations working for the betterment of the community and to co-ordinate their activities, but in practice this was not always the case. Between 1904 and 1934 the NCWT was under the presidency of Emily Dobson, a formidable woman, who perhaps helped and perhaps hindered the work of the Council. Emily Dobson's agenda became the Council's and for thirty years she appeared to manipulate this most influential of Tasmanian women's organisations. Although the Council's objective was to produce discussion in the philanthropic community, this did not stop it from trying to work in the community through challenging the status quo for women, influencing legislation and implementing programmes designed to help women and children. These attempts at work did not amount to much. The NCWT produced little that could be called a tangible achievement in the forty year period studied. This causes some problems in the analysis of the Council. If it had attempted no work then it could easily be concluded that it only meant to act as a facilitator for discussion between other organisations. Because it did attempt work and apparently failed in several areas, then the Council must be viewed differently. But the importance of the National Council is not simply shown in the work it did or did not produce. The National Council was critical for both the evolution of feminism in Tasmania and in the personal evolution of its women members. It was women like the National Council members who were conservative and determined to work within the male system rather than challenge that system, who were able to pave the way for the second wave of feminism. The National Council of Women of Tasmania under the firm hand of Emily Dobson was among the first proponents of women's rights in Tasmania and the importance of this should not be dismissed.

description: In this work aluminum lactate and aluminum formiate have been used as precursors to obtain room temperature stable sols and gels and after annealing homogeneous glasses in the System Na2O-Al2O3-B2O3. The local environments and connectivities of boron and aluminum have been investigated by 11B and 27Al solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). It was found that the local atomic structures of the sol-gel glasses markedly depend on the precursors and the preparation routes and are also dissimilar to those of melt quenched glasses of the same compositions. Thus, for example, the fractions of BO3/2 and BO4/2 units differ and it is interesting to note that there are no asymmetric ΒO2/2(O-) units present in the sol-gel materials. The 27Al spectra show AI in four-, five- and sixfold coordination, whose relative abundance in a given glass composition is also dependent on the preparadon route. Rotational echo double resonance (REDOR) 11B {27Al} and 27Al {11B} resuhs indicate that the extent of B-O-Al connectivity is diminished in the gel prepared glasses when compared to the melt cooled glasses. Element distributions are reported on the basis of secondary neutral mass spectrometry (SNMS) data, and the nanostructures of surfaces have been characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM).

description: Cosmic parallax is the change of angular separation between pair of sources at cosmological distances induced by an anisotropic expansion. An accurate astrometric experiment like Gaia could observe or put constraints on cosmic parallax. Examples of anisotropic cosmological models are Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi void models for off-center observers (introduced to explain the observed acceleration without the need for dark energy) and Bianchi metrics. If dark energy has an anisotropic equation of state, as suggested recently, then a substantial anisotropy could arise at $z \lesssim 1$ and escape the stringent constraints from the cosmic microwave background. In this paper we show that such models could be constrained by the Gaia satellite or by an upgraded future mission.

description: Empirical evidence to date has been contradictory in regards to the relationship gestational age at birth may have with increased levels of parental overprotection (POP) and parental perceptions of child vulnerability (PPCV). The current study evaluated the occurrence of these two parent factors, via questionnaire, within a sample of 77 parent-child dyads in which school age child participants had been born either preterm or full term. There was a significant relationship between preterm birth status and high levels of PPCV with a large effect size (Cohen's d =.820). POP was unrelated to birth status. Children also participated in a cognitive assessment. Results from these tests determined that when PPCV increased child motor performance decreased. PPCV and POP were unrelated to verbal fluency. POP was also unrelated to motor performance. Further research is needed in order to identify the underlying processes that determine the relationship between PPCV and child motor performance.

description: We study the resonances of the quantum kicked rotor subjected to an excitation that follows a deterministic time-dependent prescription. For the primary resonances we find an analytical relation between the long-time behavior of the standard deviation and the external kick strength. For the secondary resonances we obtain essentially the same result numerically. Selecting the time sequence of the kick allows to obtain a variety of asymptotic wave-function spreadings: super-ballistic, ballistic, sub-ballistic, diffusive, sub-diffusive and localized.

Subjects: subject: 660

description: More than 500 analyses of flat glasses made sinee 1830 in seventeen eountries have been analysed statistieally. They inelude samples made by all the eommonly used proeesses. The purpose of the analysis was to investigate differenees related to type of process, region of manufacture, and the passage of time. Changes in the use of the various important constituents are demonstrated and commented on. In the early years of the twentieth Century only sulphate was used as refining agent and high SO3 contents were found until around 1960. Other constituents, such as BaO and B2O3, were tried but did not gain acceptance. As time went by variations within any company decreased and compositions of all flat glasses converged. Differences in flat glass compositions produced by different processes were rather random as were differences between various countries.

description: Α variety of glass eups has been investigated after treatment in a machine dishwasher. Three types of surface damages were found. The first type consists of clouding on the inner and outer surfaces appearing after about 1000 washing cycles. It can be related to the long range granular structure of glass, which is believed to be formed by thermal density fluctuation. During washing both water and detergents act as weak etchants, first eroding the smooth glass skin, then revealing the granular structure. As soon as the linkages between the granules are entirely broken by the etching, holes will manifest themselves at these sites. When the size of the holes (the hole width) reaches the half of the light wavelength, light scattering occurs and the glass seems cloudy. The second type is the sheet clouding on the outer surface appearing after about 100 washing cycles. It can be related to holes on the surface, which are formed by the loss of the sphere domain phase from the SiO2-rich matrix during washing. These domains result from phase separation induced by round-meldng of the sharp cutting edge, which is responsible for local clouding of glass. The third type is a golden film on the inner surface. These films are probably formed by complex formation between the glass surface and the organic compounds in the drinks. All of the damages studied here are irreversible.

Hidden vector dark matter

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We show that dark matter could be made of massive gauge bosons whose stability doesn't require to impose by hand any discrete or global symmetry. Stability of gauge bosons can be guaranteed by the custodial symmetry associated to the gauge symmetry and particle content of the model. The particle content we consider to this end is based on a hidden sector made of a vector multiplet associated to a non-abelian gauge group and of a scalar multiplet charged under this gauge group. The hidden sector interacts with the Standard Model particles through the Higgs portal quartic scalar interaction in such a way that the gauge bosons behave as thermal WIMPS. This can lead easily to the observed dark matter relic density in agreement with the other various constraints, and can be tested experimentally in a large fraction of the parameter space. In this model the dark matter direct detection rate and the annihilation cross section can decouple if the Higgs portal interaction is weak.

description: The global demand for energy is rising rapidly and conventional methods of producing energy contribute to global warming. Renewable energy sources are able to solve these problems. Solar energy produced by photovoltaic arrays is considered to be amongst the major renewable energy sources, abundantly available. The photovoltaic arrays however yield very low efficiency under non-uniform incident solar irradiance operating conditions. The subject of this thesis is the development of an electronic system for maximizing the power production of photovoltaic arrays. For that reason, a reinforcement learning-based global Maximum Power Point Tracking algorithm was developed. The PV system developed in this thesis consists of an MPPT control unit, a DC/DC Boost converter and two batteries as load. For the implementation of the MPPT control unit, a Q-learning algorithm, as well as a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm were developed. The Q-learning algorithm under study was used in multiple experiments for alternative shading patterns of the PV array and its performance was compared to that of the PSO algorithm. The experimental results demonstrated that the Q-learning MPPT algorithm converged faster and more accurately to the Global MPP than the PSO MPPT algorithm when an appropriate learning process was applied.

Οι Ανανεώσιμες Πηγές Ενέργειας (ΑΠΕ) είναι σε θέση να συμβάλλουν στην επίλυση αυτών των προβλημάτων. Μεταξύ των εναλλακτικών τύπων ΑΠΕ, η εγκατάσταση φωτοβολταϊκών συστημάτων παραγωγής ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας έχει επεκταθεί σημαντικά τα τελευταία χρόνια. Όμως, η παραγωγή ενέργειας των φωτοβολταϊκών συστημάτων επηρεάζεται από την ανομοιόμορφη πρόσπτωση ηλιακής ακτινοβολίας στις φωτοβολταϊκές συστοιχίες (πχ. όταν ενσωματώνονται σε κτήρια). Σε αυτή τη διπλωματική εργασία αναπτύχθηκε ένα ηλεκτρονικό σύστημα για τη μεγιστοποίηση της παραγωγής ισχύος των φωτοβολταϊκών συστοιχιών, στο οποίο η διαδικασία της μεγιστοποίησης ισχύος (Maximum Power Point Tracking, MPPT) πραγματοποιείται με τεχνική μηχανικής μάθησης.

Τα πειραματικά αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι ο αλγόριθμος MPPT βασισμένος σε μηχανική μάθηση ο οποίος υλοποιήθηκε σε αυτή τη διπλωματική εργασία, επιτυγχάνει ταχύτερη εύρεση του σημείου μέγιστης παραγωγής ισχύος της φωτοβολταϊκής συστοιχίας κατά 41-53% σε σύγκριση με συμβατικό αλγόριθμο MPPT.

description: We investigate the general properties of Unified Dark Matter (UDM) fluid models where the pressure and the energy density are linked by a barotropic equation of state (EoS) $p = p(ρ)$ and the perturbations are adiabatic. The EoS is assumed to admit a future attractor that acts as an effective cosmological constant, while asymptotically in the past the pressure is negligible. UDM models of the dark sector are appealing because they evade the so-called "coincidence problem" and "predict" what can be interpreted as $w_{\rm DE} \approx -1$, but in general suffer the effects of a non-negligible Jeans scale that wreak havoc in the evolution of perturbations, causing a large Integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect and/or changing structure formation at small scales. Typically, observational constraints are violated, unless the parameters of the UDM model are tuned to make it indistinguishable from $Λ$CDM. Here we show how this problem can be avoided, studying in detail the functional form of the Jeans scale in adiabatic UDM perturbations and introducing a class of models with a fast transition between an early Einstein-de Sitter CDM-like era and a later $Λ$CDM-like phase. If the transition is fast enough, these models may exhibit satisfactory structure formation and CMB fluctuations. To consider a concrete case, we introduce a toy UDM model and show that it can predict CMB and matter power spectra that are in agreement with observations for a wide range of parameter values.

description: The products of primordial nucleosynthesis and the cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons are relics from the early evolution of the Universe whose observations probe the standard model of cosmology and provide windows on new physics beyond the standard models of cosmology and of particle physics. In the standard, hot big bang cosmology, long before any stars have formed a significant fraction (~25%) of the baryonic mass in the Universe should be in the form of helium-4 nuclei. Since current 4He observations are restricted to low redshift regions where stellar nucleosynthesis has occurred, observations of high redshift, prestellar 4He would constitute a fundamental test of the hot, big bang cosmology. At recombination, long after big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) has ended, the temperature anisotropy spectrum imprinted on the CMB depends on the 4He abundance through its connection to the electron density and the effect of the electron density on Silk damping. Since the relic abundance of 4He is relatively insensitive to the universal density of baryons, but is sensitive to a non-standard, early Universe expansion rate, the primordial mass fraction of 4He, Yp, offers a test of the consistency of the standard models of BBN and the CMB and, provides constraints on non-standard physics. Here, the WMAP seven year data (supplemented by other CMB experiments), which lead to an indirect determination of Yp at high redshift, are compared to the BBN predictions and to the independent, direct observations of 4He in low redshift, extragalactic HII regions. At present, given the very large uncertainties in the CMB-determined primordial 4He abundance (as well as for the helium abundances inferred from H II region observations), any differences between the BBN predictions and the CMB observations are small, at a level < 1.5 sigma.

description: The film thicknesses of five different layer Systems on glass Substrates were analyzed and determined in a multi-method approach by eight different university and industrial laboratories. The total coating thicknesses varied between a few nm up to some 100 nm. The measurements give information about the chemical composition and cover a wide spectrum of typical coating application on glasses. The results of the different laboratories and methods are compared and the challenges and limits of the various analytical techniques are discussed.
Energy and entropy of crystals, glasses and melts

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: 660

description: The molar entropy, S, and enthalpy (energy), H, of crystals, glasses and melts of the same one-component systems have been suitably visualized including the transformadon from the melt into a glass or crystallization. For the temperature T → 0 Κ the enthalpy and entropy of the glass are larger by ΔH0 and ΔS0 as compared to the stable crystal. The S and Η functions of glasses correspond to a simple continuation of these functions from the molten State to lower temperatures. Crystallization occurs as a spontaneous process under production of entropy. Extrapolating the entropy of the molten and crystalline states from the melting range to lower temperatures, which is the basis of "Kauzmann's paradox", is ambiguous and misleading, as the extrapolated data deviate considerably from the experimental temperature dependencies of S of glasses and crystals. Α proper extrapolation does not cause an entropy catastrophe as claimed in "Kauzmann's paradox", since the enthalpy difference between the undercooled melt and the corresponding crystals must be taken into account, and the respective entropies in both states are not connected by an isothermal process. The molar entropy and enthalpy are visualized as functions of temperature by numerical results of a Debye model. The molar entropy is a universal function of the ratio T/TD, wherein TD is the Debye temperature of the well known specific heat capacity, CD. Between 0 K and TD the entropy increases by 1.36 × 3R ≈ 4R irrespective of TD. Above TD it increases approximately as 3R × ln (T/TD). The entropy capacity, CD/T scales with 1/TD and the enthalpy with TD, both considered as functions of T/TD. The entropy capacity shows a maximum of 2.033 × 3R/TD for T/TD = 0.28.
El género Schilderia Tomlin, 1930 (Gastropoda, Cypraeidae)

Year: 1980

description: A comparative study of the five living species of the genus Schilderia has been carried out, taking into account conchological, anatomical (radular) and ecological features, and shows the close relationships existent between the Mediterranean-Atlantic species (S. achatidea) and the W. Pacific ones (S. hirasei, S. teramachii, S. sakuraii, and, specially, S. langfordi). This fact, together with the actual longitudinal discontinuous geographical distribution, suggests the existence of a past geographic continuity, with the presence of connecting taxa through the Tethys sea. The study of the limited fossil record does not confirm or deny this hypothesis for Schilderia, or Zonarina, considered as its inmediate ancestor. Although the scarce palaeontological data demands caution in order to establish the center of origin of these
 genera and their 1ossible dispersa! directions, the known data seem to suggest a W. Tethyan origin and an eastward dispersal.

description: Α novel and cost-effective process is introduced for the production of ultra pure quartz parts on an industrial scale under clean room conditions. Starting with a colloidal SiO2 sol, SiO2 green bodies are fabricated by a pressure casting process. After drying, the SiO2 preforms are sintered with CO2 laser Systems providing a power Output of up to 12 kW. In contrast to the many applications of high power laser Systems the laser optics used widens the laser beam to a spot size of up to 100 mm. It could be shown that State of the art CO2 laser Systems are superior to heat sources commonly used for sintering of high purity ceramics since contamination of the material to be sintered can be virtually excluded and large SiO2 preforms can be sintered to graded structures without changing their geometry.
Impurity clustering and impurity-induced bands in PbTe-, SnTe-, and GeTe-based bulk thermoelectrics

description: Complex multicomponent systems based on PbTe, SnTe, and GeTe are of great interest for infrared devices and high-temperature thermoelectric applications. A deeper understanding of the atomic and electronic structure of these materials is crucial for explaining, predicting, and optimizing their properties, and to suggest new materials for better performance. In this work, we present our first-principles studies of the energy bands associated with various monovalent (Na, K, and Ag) and trivalent (Sb and Bi) impurities and impurity clusters in PbTe, SnTe, and GeTe using supercell models. We find that monovalent and trivalent impurity atoms tend to come close to one another and form impurity-rich clusters, and the electronic structure of the host materials is strongly perturbed by the impurities. There are impurity-induced bands associated with the trivalent impurities that split off from the conduction-band bottom with large shifts towards the valence-band top. This is due to the interaction between the $p$ states of the trivalent impurity cation and the divalent anion which tends to drive the systems towards metallicity. The introduction of monovalent impurities (in the presence of trivalent impurities) significantly reduces (in PbTe and GeTe) or slightly enhances (in SnTe) the effect of the trivalent impurities. One, therefore, can tailor the band gap and band structure near the band gap (hence transport properties) by choosing the type of impurity and its concentration or tuning the monovalent/trivalent ratio. Based on the calculated band structures, we are able to explain qualitatively the measured transport properties of the whole class of PbTe-, SnTe-, and GeTe-based bulk thermoelectrics.

Targeted election campaigning: an Australian case study
Creators: name: Dalvean, MC
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Elections around the world have, in recent years, become highly professionalised and orchestrated events. Parties devote considerable resources to advertising, research and overall administration of election campaigns. One estimate puts the value of spending by each party in Australia on direct mail alone at $15 million. As part of this process there has been a high degree of emphasis on the marginal seats. The use of electoral databases has been prominent in the attempt to identify voters who are likely to be persuaded to vote for the campaigning party. The majority of the effort in campaigning is devoted to direct mail, telephone canvassing and, recently, internet based campaigning. However, the effect of a party representative making a personal visit to a constituent's household is much greater than the effect of direct mail or telephone canvassing. The paradox is that it only requires a handful of voters in a number of marginal seats to sway an election. The problem is to find and persuade these voters. A candidate who attempts to sway an electorate by visiting houses at random is unlikely to find the most swayable voters by chance. Clearly, the idea of identifying which groups of voters will vote in a particular way, and the corollary of this question, which way elections will go, is of significant interest both internationally and domestically. From the discussion above, the problem, however, seems intractable. The problem will be addressed by looking at the Australian situation in detail.

Evolution of the compositions of commercial glasses 1830 to 1990. Part II. Container glass
Creators: name: Smrček, Antonín
Publisher: name: Offenbach : Verlag der Deutschen Glastechnischen Gesellschaft
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: 660

description: This paper treats container glasses in the same way as an earlier paper reviewed flat glass compositions. Data for more than 970 analyses of container glasses manufactured during 150 years in 37 countries have been collected and analysed. The data obviously include containers made by hand as well as by machine from green, white and amber glasses. Compositions developed along two lines, one being green and brown glasses coloured by manganese; such glasses were characterized by low alkali content compensated by increased RO and higher AI2O3 contents. The other, younger, line includes white glasses historically descended from old "forest glasses" and closely related amber glasses. The compositions of both lines converged gradually, so that from about 1970 all container glasses have fallen within a narrow range of compositions, differing in little but their colouring oxides. Differences between particular producers and countries have decreased a great deal.

Development of a novel film cooling hole geometry
Creators: name: Sargison, JE
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis presents the design, development and testing of a new film cooling hole geometry, the converging slot-hole or console. Both the thermal and aerodynamic performance were measured, using the adiabatic effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient, and aerodynamic loss respectively, to quantify performance. Comparative measurements were made, by testing conventional film cooling hole shapes in parallel with the console experiments. The CFD code, Fluent, was used to predict the performance of the initial design concept before it was manufactured. Initial performance measurements in incompressible flow were performed in a low speed wind tunnel at an engine representative Reynolds number based on mainstream flow and hole diameter. For these experiments, the coolant to mainstream density ratio was approximately unity, and the cooling performance was measured over a flat plate. The console was tested in parallel with cylindrical holes, a slot and fan-shaped holes, all of which had equal throat area per unit width. The heat transfer performance was measured at steady state using thermochromic liquid crystals sprayed onto a flat plate heater. The aerodynamic performance of the holes was measured by traversing the boundary layer 50 cylindrical hole diameters downstream of the injection location with a pitot probe. Engine representative measurements of the console performance were made in a transonic annular cascade that simulates the three-dimensional flow in the gas turbine. The Reynolds and Mach numbers were representative of engine conditions, and the coolant flow was made aerodynamically and thermodynamically similar to engine conditions by matching both the momentum flux and density ratios. This was achieved by using a heavy foreign gas with the composition of 30.2% SF6 and 69.8% Ar by weight, which simulates the coolant to mainstream density ratio of 1.78, and has a ratio of specific heats of 1.4. The performance of a nozzle guide vane with rows of fan-shaped holes was compared with an NGV with a film cooling configuration designed with rows of consoles replacing rows of fan-shaped holes. The heat transfer performance was measured using a modified step change transient liquid crystal technique. The aerodynamic performance was measured using a four hole probe traverse downstream of the NGV. The heat transfer performance of the console was found to be similar to or slightly lower than the performance of fan-shaped holes. The most significant benefit of the console was found to be the aerodynamic performance, with a loss due to film cooling of only 20% of the loss due to film cooling of the rows of fan-shaped holes measured at engine representative conditions.
