The use by vertebrate fauna of the Slaty Creek Wildlife Underpass, Calder Freeway, Black Forest, Macedon, Victoria
Creators: name: Abson, R
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The Slaty Creek Wildlife Underpass, built as part of the Calder Freeway at Macedon, Victoria, was monitored for a 12-month period to establish its use by vertebrate fauna. Two control sites were established on either side of the underpass in the adjacent Black Forest. A monitoring regime of 14 methods was used, targeting various fauna groups, including ground dwelling mammals, arboreal or semi-arboreal mammals, reptiles, amphibians and birds. Approximately two-thirds of the total number of species detected throughout the monitoring period, across all sites, were detected within the Slaty Creek Underpass. With at least four species of reptile, six species of amphibian, 24 confirmed and seven unconfirmed mammal species and 37 bird species within or above the underpass, the Slaty Creek Underpass has been shown to be one of the most diversely populated underpasses ever studied. Several culverts and a smaller underpass nearby the Slaty Creek Underpass were also monitored and were shown to have fewer species passing through them than the Slaty Creek underpass. There were some species of birds and mammals that were detected in the surrounding forest, but never within the underpass, but were generally detected on too few occasions to provide for statistical analysis. Statistical analysis did demonstrate that native and some introduced species demonstrated an attraction to the underpass, whilst some other native species were rarely detected within the underpass, and were more often detected within the surrounding forest. The Slaty Creek Underpass could be further enhanced with the use of rope canopy bridges or glider poles, suitably designed and maintained fencing and enhanced revegetation within the underpass.
Biomimetic surfaces from Vegetable Leaves and their Performance in Early-stage Biofouling Prevention
Creators: name: Gomes, Luciana
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: Biomimetic surfaces; leaves; food industry; biofouling

description: Food contact surfaces are usually colonized by microorganisms, even following cleaning and disinfection. They can grow as biofilms, which are contamination sources of finished products, reducing their shelf-life and causing foodborne diseases. One way to reduce fouling is to create naturally cleaning surfaces based on biomimetic designs. Four self-cleaning leaves (Tenderheart cabbage, Cauliflower, White cabbage, and Leek) were analysed for their surface properties and artificial replicates were produced. The leaves and surfaces were subjected to attachment, adhesion, and retention assays using Escherichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes. For the attachment assays, the lowest cell numbers occurred on the least hydrophobic, smooth surfaces. Following the adhesion assays, the use of surfaces with intermediate roughness (Sq) and free energy of interaction (ΔGiwi) values demonstrated the lowest bacterial adhesion. However, following the retention assays, the chemistry of the surface may have affected the results since opposite surface effects were demonstrated to reduce cell retention on the leaf, which was least hydrophobic, and on the biomimetic replicate surfaces, which were rougher and hydrophobic. Although the surfaces were promising in reducing bacterial binding, the results suggest that different experimental assays exerted different influences on the conclusions. This work demonstrates that, in addition to surface attributes such as hydrophobicity and roughness, biological factors, environment, and the type of methodologies used need to be taken into consideration.
The ultraviolet absorption spectrum of thionylimide and the rotational energy formulae for linear polyatomic molecules in ²Σ[sigma] and ³Σ[sigma] electronic states in which one or more quanta of a degenerate bending vibration is excited
Creators: name: Allegretti, John Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Thionylimide, HNSO, was prepared and its ultraviolet spectrum recorded for the first time. Two transitions are seen; a long series of bands in the 2700Å region and a continuum ending at approximately 3440Å. Franck-Condon overlap calculations were carried out to ascertain how large a shape change was occurring in the 2700Å system. Reasons for the diffuse nature of the bands in the 2700Å system and the continuous nature of the absorption in the 3440Å region are given. In the second part of this thesis, formulae for the rotational energies of linear polyatomic molecules in ²Σ and ³Σ electronic states in which one or more quanta of a degenerate bending vibration are excited are derived. It is found in ²Σ electronic states that the spin doubling and the ℓ-type doubling are independent provided the rotational constant B is much larger than γ, the spin rotation constant. In ³Σ electronic states departures from the normal triplet spin pattern occur at low N values, when the vibrational angular momentum is still mainly coupled to the axis of the molecule. The effect is enhanced if λ, the spin-spin interaction constant, is large compared to B. At high N values the normal triplet pattern is approached as the vibrational angular momentum is uncoupled from the axis of the molecule.

Subjects: subject: Representation Theory (math.RT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: This article concerns the $p$-basic set existence problem in the representation theory of finite groups. We show that, for any odd prime $p$, the alternating group $\A_n$ has a $p$-basic set. More precisely, we prove that the symmetric group $\sym_n$ has a $p$-basic set with some additional properties, allowing us to deduce a $p$-basic set for $\A_n$. Our main tool is the generalized perfect isometries introduced by Külshammer, Olsson and Robinson. As a consequence we obtain some results on the decomposition number of $\A_n$.

The relationship between the processes involved in reading and spelling in adults
Creators: name: Burley, Amanda
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Reading and spelling are learned abilities that require the recognition and processing of words. Several models of word recognition have been developed to show how skilled readers recognise words. The dual-route model is the most comprehensive model and involves two processing routes or mechanisms for recognizing printed words; the lexical route and the non-lexical route. Differences in the reliance on lexical and non-lexical processes used to read regular words, irregular words, and nonwords have been found in both normally functioning and impaired readers (Baron, 1979; Baron & Treiman, 1980; Freebody & Byrne, 1988; Byrne, Freebody, & Gates, 1992). Having identified such patterns in reading, researchers have begun to investigate whether spelling involves similar processes to reading and whether similar patterns of reliance exist. Spelling is considered the inverse of reading, with reading involving the conversion of an orthographic representation to a phonological representation, while spelling involves the transformation from phonology to orthography (Ellis, 1982). It has been found that readers who differ in reliance on lexical and non-lexical processes have a corresponding difference in their spelling styles (Baron, Treiman, Wilf, & Kellman, 1980). In order to determine whether spelling uses the same processes as reading future research could explore whether reading and spelling are similarly affected by word frequency and reading age.

title: The Use of Self-Control Procedures with Pre~Adolescents Classified as Educable Mentally Retarded
Creators: name: McGill, Lizabeth A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1978

description: The effectiveness of self-recording and self-reinforcement procedures implemented in the classroom setting with six pre-adolescent children classified as Educable Mentally Retarded was determined relative to changes in on-task behavior. A multiple baseline design was used and each subject was exposed to both a self-recording procedure and a self-reinforcement procedure. After an initial baseline period, three subjects were exposed to self-recording first, and three subjects went through self-reinforcement first. Contingent reinforcement was not provided for accuracy in either self-recording or self-reinforcement patterns. Observations were conducted to investigate generalization effects of each procedure, and two weeks of follow-up observations were conducted to determine durability effects. The findings indicated that for five of the subjects the self-recording procedure and the self-reinforcement procedure were effective in fostering significant positive increases in on-task behavior. Regarding accuracy, without contingent reinforcement, three of the subjects demonstrated at least 70% agreement with observer recordings during self-recording phases, and four subjects demonstrated at least 70% agreement with observer recordings in their self-reinforcement pattern. Generalization effects were found with two of the subjects, and maintenance effects were evident with one subject. A combined treatment approach, presenting both procedures simultaneously, was implemented with three of the subjects after the study was completed. These results indicated that the combined approach was not more effective than the singular presentation approach taken in the main study. Suggestions were made for future refinements in self-control procedures to increase applicability with special population.

description: This paper deals with block-transitive $t$-$(v,k,λ)$ designs in affine spaces for large $t$, with a focus on the important index $λ=1$ case. We prove that there are no non-trivial 5-$(v,k,1)$ designs admitting a block-transitive group of automorphisms that is of affine type. Moreover, we show that the corresponding non-existence result holds for 4-$(v,k,1)$ designs, except possibly when the group is one-dimensional affine. Our approach involves a consideration of the finite 2-homogeneous affine permutation groups.

Coming to realisation
Creators: name: Burtt, Rosemary
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Grounded theory research methodology has been used to explore the midwife's understanding and beliefs of the woman's pain of labour. A group of seven midwives working in a rural hospital participated in this study. The participants had all practiced midwifery in the rural setting for more than two years. When working in this rural hospital midwives are also required to work as general nurses providing care for the sick and aged. As the birthing population of the rural setting is falling so is the opportunity for midwives to practise their craft. Thus they are practising predominately as registered nurses. However there exists an anomaly for them in managing pain relief. Contemporary midwifery allows the well woman to experience some or all her pain of labour while the sick patient has his pain relieved as soon as possible. Data from the participants' interviews was analysed using constant comparative analysis. The core variable coming to realisation and five concepts hearing, seeing, knowing, birthing and midwife believing and their associated sub-concepts were identified. With time and confidence the midwives in their practice environment have applied they apply these aspects of learning to other labouring women thus complimenting complementing their formal education. This research study identified areas of experiential learning that occur and develop the practice of the midwives. It was also discovered there exists for each midwife a paradox of realisation. This occurs when the expected outcome is not anticipated. This element has the ability to undermine the confidence of the midwife in her experiential knowledge.

title: The Effects of Assertiveness Training on Marital Adjustment
Creators: name: Mead, Valerie H.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1978

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of v assertive training on the marital adjustment of tho se participating. It was of particular interest to identify the effects of training wives only as compared to training couples jointly in assertiveness.
There were a total of 56 subjects sampled for this study, constituting 28 marriages, all investigated for marital adjustment. All of the subjects were volunteers and were obtained through the Women's Center at Utah State University. The subjects were placed in one of two treatment conditions depending upon the condition for which they volunteered. The wives only treatment condition provided assertiveness training exclusively for the wives of the couples participating. Both husbands and wives received training in the couples treatment condition. All of the 56 subjects, both husbands and wives, completed the Marital-Adjustment Test during the first and last session of assertive training. The assertive training groups met for six weeks for two hours each week.
An analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data for the first two hypotheses. The pretest scores for both treatment conditions for husbands and wives were held constant and the posttest scores on the Marital-Adjustment Test were compared for both husbands and wives of the other treatment condition.
The f test for significant differences in correlations was used to test the following questions: (a) Is there a difference in the amount of correlation of the pretest scores and the posttest scores on the Marital-Adjustment Test for husbands and wives in the wives only treatment condition? and (b) Is there a difference in the amount of correlation of the pretest scores and the posttest scores on the Marital-Adjustment Test for husbands and wives in the couples treatment condition?
It may be concluded that there is no advantage for marital adjustment when husbands and wives are both given assertiveness training as opposed to the wife only receiving training.
There was a statistical difference (beyond the .01 level of significance) between the correlations of the pretest and posttest scores for husbands and wives in the wives only treatment condition. No difference in amount of correlation was found between pretest and posttest scores on the Marital-Adjustment Test for husbands and wives in the couples treatment condition.
It was concluded that when spouses were trained together, no change in perceptions of marital adjustment occurred. When wives were trained alone, perceptions of marital adjustment between spouses was in greater agreement.
No evidence was found that marital adjustment was affected by teaching assertion skills to the wife only as opposed to teaching the couple.
Vietnamese migrants' attitudes towards Vietnamese sexist language
Creators: name: Chau, MN
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis examines Vietnamese Australians' attitudes towards sexist language. One can not separate language from the cultural and social issues as they are intertwined with one another. The shaping of an individual's behaviours, attitudes, life values, his/her application of language largely depends on the social environment where s/he has grown up. In Vietnamese society, Confucianism has played a part in shaping many individuals' thinking. Although in the present time it is not as popular as many years ago, it still exists in a number of families, it can be seen through the way they behave, what they believe. There are many research studies on the sexist language in English whereas it is rare to find a research study dealing with sexist language in Vietnamese. This thesis deals with the Vietnamese migrants' attitudes and perception of sexist language. It investigates the nature and characteristics of sexist language in Vietnamese and makes some comparison with that in English. Special attention is given to the socio-cultural context in which sexist language was derived and used. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods were used.
title: Money Saving by Children: The Effects of Interest and Instructions
Creators: name: Northrop, James Thomas
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1978

description: In two experiments, groups of children received interest money contingent upon their savings; yoked control subjects received identical interest irrespective of their savings. In the first experiment, interest was paid every 3 days by parents for the average savings of the period. In Experiment II, interest was paid on a daily basis and control subjects received instructions concerning the lack of a relationship between interest and their savings.
In both experiments savings and magnitude of expenditures increased systematically across the research phases for contingent and non-contingent interest subjects alike. Neither interest nor subject wealth was found to relate to subject savings, or expenditures in Experiment I. Contingent-interest subjects' frequency of expenditures, during the interest and reversal phases was reduced relative to that of baseline and the expenditures of yoked controls. Additionally, an increase in the conditional probability of an expenditure at longer inter-expenditure intervals developed during the interest phase and was maintained into the reversal phase.
The contingent interest procedures of Experiment II differentially reinforced longer times between expenditures without affecting savings. Control subjects who received instructions regarding the absence of a relation between savings and interest did not alter the time between their expenditures.
title: An Assessment of the Self-Actualizing Education Program
Creators: name: Pope, Kathleen
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1978

description: Elementary school teachers enrolled in the Self-Actualizing Education training course were tested prior to and following the ten-week in-service course to measure to what extent teachers improved interpersonal communication skills in discussions with students. Teachers' positive responses (e.g., listening, owning personal feelings, offering choices to students), teachers' negative responses (e.g., judging, lecturing, rescuing), teacher talk vs. student talk, and the frequency of student misbehaviors were considered. Audio tape recordings were made of teachers as they dealt with student problems in a group discussion and in an individual discussion. Also, student misbehaviors were recorded during a 15-minute observation time.
The data were evaluated using analysis of variance. The results showed that in discussions with individual students, teachers increased positive responses and decreased teacher talk. In addition, the number of student misbehaviors increased after the training course. No other changes were found to be statistically significant.

description: Classical and quantum interference of light propagating in arrays of coupled waveguides and undergoing multiband optical Bloch oscillations (BOs) with negligible Zener tunneling is theoretically investigated. In particular, it is shown that Mach-Zehnder-like interference effects spontaneously arise in multiband BOs owing to beam splitting and subsequent beam recombination occurring in one BO cycle. As a noteworthy example of quantum interference, we discuss the doubling of interference fringes in photon counting rates for a correlated photon pair undergoing two-band BOs, a phenomenon analogous to the manifestation of the de Broglie wavelength of an entangled biphoton state observed in quantum Mach-Zehnder interferometry.

Hearing Voices Groups and their impact: The experiences of young people and group facilitators

description: Hearing voices is a common but varied experience in young people, with some requiring further support due to high levels of distress. There is a paucity of direct research with young voice-hearers, available findings indicating that support is experienced as inadequate. Hearing Voices Groups (HVGs) are peer support groups open to all understandings of voice-hearing, with research into adult groups suggesting a range of benefits. HVGs specifically for young people (aged 16-25) are scarce; this explorative study aims to enhance the knowledge base of the impact of HVGs on young voice-hearers. Four young people and six group facilitators were interviewed about the perceived helpfulness of these groups.

Reflexive Thematic Analysis from a critical realist perspective was used and three themes, each with their own subthemes, were generated:

- ‘Power of sharing between peers’ (‘counteracts isolation and stigma’, ‘making sense of experiences’, ‘sharing of coping strategies’),
- ‘HVGs in the context of other support (‘HVGs as an alternative to mainstream support’, ‘HVGs as an option of support’),
- ‘Accessibility of HVGs’ (‘barriers to engagement’, ‘HVGs can be excluding’).

The findings suggest that HVGs can be helpful and can have a transformative impact on some young people. Young people’s stage of life is well aligned with the flexibility of HVGs but poses a challenge to their sustainability. Ultimately, young voice-hearers value being listened to and given agency in their care. Whilst HVGs should be made more available to young people, barriers to their accessibility exist and wider systemic changes are needed to better support young voice-hearers.
A 4-Component Dirac Theory of Ionization of Hydrogen Molecular Ion in a Super-Intense Laser Field

description: In this paper a 4-component Dirac theory of ionization of hydrogen molecular ion in a super-intense laser field is developed. Simple analytic expressions for the spin specific as well as the total ionization currents emitted from the ground state of the ion are derived. The results are given for all polarization and finite propagation vectors of the field. They apply for inner-shell ionization of analogous heavier molecular ions as well. The presence of molecular two-slit interference effect, first found in the non-relativistic case, and the spin-flip ionization current, and an asymmetry of the up- and down-spin currents similar to that predicted in the atomic case, are found also to hold for the present relativistic molecular ionic case. Finally, the possibility of controlling the dominant spin currents by selecting the handedness of a circularly polarized incident laser field is pointed out.

Approaches to the synthesis of cadinene sesquiterpenes and the birch reduction of some 4-alkyl-[delta]1,9-2-octalones
Creators: name: Phillips, Wynona M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Part of this thesis describes the investigation of several synthetic approaches to the cadinane group of sesquiterpenes. The first approach investigated the preparation of a possible key intermediate of type 118 using the known octalone 114 as starting material. However all attempts to obtain octalone 116, a necessary intermediate in this sequence were unsuccessful. This precluded further use of this approach. The second approach involved preparation of several cross-conjugated dienone systems (125, 133, 139 and 141) and the study of 1,4-conjugate addition of an alkyl group by means of cuprous ion catalyzed Grignard reagents and lithium dialkylcuprate reagents. Use of reagents in which the alkyl group was methyl or primary effected the desired 1,4-conjugate addition. However when isopropylmagnesium bromide or lithium diisopropylcuprate reagents were tried no addition products were detected. Evidence is presented which indicates that enolization of the keto system was the main reaction pathway in these cases. The final and most successful approach described is the condensation-annelation approach where condensation between a vinyl ketone such as 144 and a substituted cyclohexanone derivative of type 143 was investigated. Octalones 162 were prepared by the enamine-annelation reaction employing vinyl ketone 144 and the enamine of keto alcohol 158. The stereochemistry of octalones 162 was then established. The mixture of epimeric octalones 162 was degraded to decalones 165a and 165b. The stereochemistry of these decalones was unambiguously shown by a combination of chemical and spectroscopic methods. Octalones (162a + 162c) were converted into thioketal 166 by treatment with ethanedithiol and boron trifluoride etherate. Thioketal 166 was converted into alcohol 167 by desulphurization employing Raney nickel. Treatment of alcohol 167 with chromium trioxide in pyridine afforded octalone 168. Octalone 168 was converted into (+)-cadinene dihydrochloride by treatment of the former with methyllithium followed by treatment of the resultant 3° alcohol with anhydrous hydrogen chloride in ether. The Birch reduction of octalones of type 170 is described. The octalones were prepared by 1,4-conjugate addition of lithium dialkyl- cuprate reagents to the cross-conjugated dienones of type 171. The preparation of the corresponding authentic cis- and trans-fused decalones is described. The results of Birch reduction of octalones 188 to 192 revealed a higher percentage of cis-fused decalone product than normally obtained in other substituted Δ¹•⁹-2-octalone systems. The results also indicated that as the bulk of the C₄ substituent was increased the product ratio of cis-fused decalone to trans-fused decalone also increased. The substituent at the C₁₀ position also effected the ratio of cis:trans decalone obtained. Possible explanations for these results are presented.

Scientific data mining for spatio-temporal hydroacoustic data sets
Creators: name: Buelens, Bart Andre Hendrik Lutgart
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Managing natural marine resources for sustainable exploitation of the oceans and the flora and fauna they contain is a challenging task. Decisions by policy makers are based on advice from the scientific community. Through surveying and monitoring programs, scientists study the marine environment to gain insight into its structure and function. Employing acoustic techniques, sonar systems are often the best tools available to effectively observe aquatic environments. Important applications include fisheries and seafloor mapping. Fish stock assessments are typically conducted using single beam echosounders, while bathymetric surveys are conducted with multibeam sonar. Multibeam sonar instruments that are capable of collecting samples for the complete water column are an emerging technology. Since they collect acoustic data over much greater sampling volumes than single beam instruments, significant improvements in fisheries studies are expected. The combined collection of seafloor and water-column data will lead to survey cost savings and to an integrated, ecosystem-based approach to monitoring the ocean environment. While standard data analysis procedures are established for single beam fisheries and standard multibeam bathymetric applications, this is not the case for full water-column multibeam sonar data. In this thesis, a data mining approach for handling such data is proposed. The developed method consists of a preprocessing algorithm based on an inversion technique, followed by a pattern analysis algorithm using kernel clustering methods. The preprocessing algorithm applies a deconvolution as a model inversion method to reduce the data set in size and to convert the acoustic measurements into a generic vector representation. Each vector has a spatial and a temporal component as well as a number of additional features typically relating to the acoustic backscatter energy. These spatio-temporal vectors are then subjected to pattern analysis algorithms. Two clustering algorithms are selected: a density based spatial clustering algorithm, and a clustering algorithm based on kernel methods. A new method is developed to allow the kernel clustering algorithm to make use of the spatial and non-spatial components of the data in a combined fashion. This results in a powerful, flexible and versatile clustering procedure. The outcome is a segmentation of the data into coherent structures, for example fish schools and the seabed. Classification is achieved through the differentiation between data clusters indicative of different fish species or seabed habitats. The effectiveness of the data mining methods is demonstrated in a number of case studies. It is hoped that the developed approach will facilitate routine use of water-column multibeam sonar data for fisheries applications in particular, and for ecosystem studies and marine resource management in general.

description: The non-collinear spin-spiral density wave of the uniform electron gas is studied in the framework of Reduced-Density-Matrix-Functional Theory. For the Hartree-Fock approximation, which can be obtained as a limiting case of Reduced-Density-Matrix-Functional Theory, Overhauser showed a long time ago that the paramagnetic state of the electron gas is unstable with respect to the formation of charge or spin density waves. Here we not only present a detailed numerical investigation of the spin-spiral density wave in the Hartree-Fock approximation but also investigate the effects of correlations on the spin-spiral density wave instability by means of a recently proposed density-matrix functional.

Arthropod parasites of cultured striped trumpeter, Latris lineata (Forster, 1801), and potential treatments
Creators: name: Andrews, M
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The striped trumpeter, Latris lineata (Actinopterygii: Perciformes: Latridae), was identified as a possible aquaculture species, however little was known about the health of this species in the grow-out stage. The aim of this thesis was to investigate parasite fauna in a culture situation. Three parasite species were described from striped trumpeter held in tank and sea cage systems; including the previously described isopod, Ceratothoa imbricata (Fabricius, 1775) and the description of two new species; Chondracanthus goldsmidi Tang, Andrews et Cobcroft, 2007 and Caligus nuenonnae Andrews, Bott, Battaglene et Nowak, 2009. Patterns of infection were investigated for all three species from striped trumpeter in tank and sea cage systems, identifying differences in the parasite fauna of fish reared in the two systems. Caligus nuenonnae and Chondracanthus goldsmidi were identified from fish in both systems, whilst Ceratothoa imbricata only occurred in the fish held in the cages. Chondracanthus goldsmidi, the first of this family identified from a cultured host, was identified as a potential problem, as infections were common and prevalence and intensity high on fish in the tank system. The female developmental stages have been fully described for this species, comprising three nauplius and six copepodid stages; providing the first description for the Chondracanthus genus. Gill and opercula pathology resulting from parasitism of adult C. goldsmidi was severe, including papilloma-like lesions, epithelial hyperplasia and necrosis near the attachment site. Piscidin positive mast cells and high densities of mucous cells containing a combination of neutral and acidic mucin were also identified in the parasitised gill epithelia. The presence of such cellular reactions indicates that an active host response is underway to combat the parasitic infection. Treatment experiments were conducted to find practical solutions for C. goldsmidi infections. Mean parasite survival after bathing was as follows; 35 min exposure to dechlorinated freshwater (64.2 ¬¨¬± 1.3%; mean ¬¨¬± SE); 45 min exposure to 1500 ppm hydrogen peroxide (50 ¬¨¬± 0%); 1 h exposure to 200 ppm trichlorfon (93.6 ¬¨¬± 1.6%). Emamectin benzoate in-feed treatment using four concentrations (0, 25, 50, 100 u g kg\\(^{-1}\\)) was applied in two treatment rounds, the first round resulted in an initial decrease of the infection followed by an increase in all treatments after the second treatment; with the following mean parasite survival in the controls (110.7 ¬¨¬± 5.0%; from an initial 100% baseline), 25 u g kg\\(^{-1}\\) (93.7 ¬¨¬± 17.6%), 50 u g kg\\(^{-1}\\) (90.9 ¬¨¬± 5.2%) and 100 u g kg\\(^{-1}\\) (95.7 ¬¨¬± 4.2%) treatments. Freshwater and hydrogen peroxide bathing exhibited the most potential if used with caution as striped trumpeter exhibited sensitivity to long exposures.
POPL22 Pipe AEC Artifact
Creators: name: Loehr, Devon
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: This is the artifact for the POPL22 AEC submission #39: Safe, Modular Packet Pipeline Programming, slightly modified based on responses from the AEC. To begin, download and unzip the folder anywhere (On a non-Mac machine, ignore the _MACOSX folder and just use the lucid subfolder). Further instructions are included in the readme.md file inside, which can also be viewed here: https://github.com/PrincetonUniversity/lucid/tree/popl22_artifact. The online readme file is slightly newer, addressing a few bugs we have found in the VM when it is hosted on a Windows computer. To avoid these, we recommend hosting the VM on a Mac.

description: We report the first photoemission study of Fe1+xTe - the host compound of the newly discovered iron-chalcogenide superconductors. Our results reveal a pair of nearly electron- hole compensated Fermi pockets, strong Fermi velocity renormalization and an absence of a spin-density-wave gap. A shadow hole pocket is observed at the "X"-point of the Brillouin zone which is consistent with a long-range ordered magneto-structural groundstate. No signature of Fermi surface nesting instability associated with Q= pi(1/2, 1/2) is observed. Our results collectively reveal that the Fe1+xTe series is dramatically different from the undoped phases of the high Tc pnictides and likely harbor unusual mechanism for superconductivity and quantum magnetic order.

description: We investigate the dual roles of a cobalt impurity in the Ba-122 ferropnictide superconductor in the state with coexisting collinear spin density wave (SDW) order as a dopant and as a scattering center, using first principles electronic structure methods. The Co atom is found to dope the FeAs plane where it is located with a single delocalized electron as expected, but also induces a strong perturbation of the SDW ground state of the system. This in turn induces a stripe-like modulation of the density of states in nearby planes which may be observable in STM experiments. The defect is found to have an intermediate strength nonmagnetic scattering potential with a range of roughly 1 Angstrom, and the Co gives rise to a smaller but longer range magnetic scattering potential. The impurity potential in both channels is highly anisotropic, reflecting the broken symmetry of the SDW ground state. We give values for the effective Co potentials for each d orbital on the impurity and nearby sites. The calculation also shows a clear local resonance comprised of Co states about 200meV above the Fermi level, in quantitative agreement with a recent report from STM. Finally, we discuss the issue of the effective dimensionality of the 122 materials, and show that the hybridization of the out-of-phase As atoms leads to a higher density of states between the FeAs planes relative to the 1111 counterparts.
