Guided Tour: A Study of Museums as Sites for Sustained Engagement
Creators: name: Everett, M
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Museums today are faced with a number of challenges stemming, in part, from reduced funding and societal change. Consequently, museums are searching for ways to attract and retain visitors and deepen community engagement. The returning visitor is an increasingly important segment of the visiting public. This audience segment has received little attention in the research literature. This research explores the life experiences individuals have with a museum to understand how visitor/museum relationships form and develop, the ways in which returning visitors engage with a museum, the benefits that are derived from such relationships, and how these relationships are maintained over time. As this study seeks to understand the individual's experience and meaning-making in their museum visitation and life contexts, a narrative research approach is employed. This narrative inquiry examines the life stories of seven individuals' sustained engagement with a single museum. Field texts were generated through interviews, observations, and researcher's notes. Data analysis consisted of crafting individual narrative accounts and identifying thematic connections within and between cases. This dissertation extends our understanding of the museum experience by providing novel insights into the ways individuals develop and sustain a relationship with a museum. Analysis of participant narrative accounts reveals that sustained visitor/museum relationships can form for people from varied educational and sociology-cultural backgrounds, and at any age. This study provides new understandings about pathways to museums; specifically, the role significant others and friends who serve as informal cultural guides play in introducing individuals to museums. The narratives also reveal important insights into returning visitors' engagement with a museum. These individuals engage in multiple ways and for multiple purposes. Furthermore, the nature of their engagement changes over time. This study documents the numerous and significant ways sustained engagement with a museum enriches people's lives. Sustained visitor/museum relationships can meet a wide range of needs through various life stages and shape important connections to place and personal identity. These novel insights into the ways visitor/museum relationships evolve through different life stages will inform museums as they strive to fulfill their charter to serve their local communities and to serve individual members of the community through their lifetime in that community. A better understanding of returning visitors can assist museums in facilitating experiences that meet specific needs, deepen engagement, and strengthen relationships with visitors. Such outcomes may support museums in their efforts to ensure a sustainable future.

The Big Bounce in Rainbow Universe

description: The usual Einstein's equations is modified as a one parameter family of equations in the framework of rainbow gravity. In this paper we derive the modified Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) equations when the cosmological evolution of radiation particles is taken into account. In particular, given some specific dispersion relations, the big bounce solutions to the modified FRW equations can be derived. Notably, to obtain a well defined rainbow metric at the moment of the big bounce, we find it seems necessary to introduce a cosmological constant which depends on the energy of probes as well, implying that a universe with a positive cosmological constant more likely undergoes a big bounce at least at this phenomenological level.

The geology and geochemistry of the Ansons Bay Batholith, N.E Tasmania
Creators: name: Kitto, PA
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The granitic complex forming the Ansons Bay Batholith (300) km2) in northeastern Tasmania, is composed of a variety of granitoids which intrude the low-grade regionally metamorphosed Ordivician to Lower Devonian Mathinna Beds. The granitoids are divided into five major types based on mafic mineralogy, plagioclase composition and textural variation. Geochemical evidence suggests that the granodiorite, microgranite and biotite-, garnet-biotite, and alkali feldspar granites have been derived by Rayleigh fractional crystallization of a melt from a ~hemically inhomogeneous source region. Major and trace element modelling of the biotite-, garnet-biotite, and alkali feldspar granites explains the linear trend observed between these granites by 25% fractional crystallization of a solid composed of 64% plagioclase, 20% biotite, and 16% K-feldspar. Late Devonian dolerite dykes (up to 10 km long) associated with late stage crystallization of the granites, may provide an upper age limit to the Tabberabberan Orogeny within the Ansons Bay Batholith. An agmatic migmatite, 2 km south of Eddystone Point, has a K-fe1dspar-cordierite hornfels facies mineral assemblage. P-T conditions of 1 kb and 600¬¨‚àûC are inferred for the migmatite formation. Granite contamination and Mathinna Bed xenoliths are largely restricted to the migmatite contact. Mafic xenoliths from both the granodiorite and garnet-biotite granites have cognate (cumulate) origins and are unrelated to the country rocks. The aplitic xenoliths from the garnet-biotite granites, however, are interpreted as dismembered alkali feldspar dykes. The mafic mineral assemblages from the garnet-biotite granites suggest low pressure conditions (1 kb) of emplacement at temperatures 0 close to 700 C. Garnet-biotite (cordierite) geothermometry and feldspar geothermometry confirm these temperatures.

description: We describe the linear cosmological perturbations of a perfect fluid at the level of an action, providing thus an alternative to the standard approach based only on the equations of motion. This action is suited not only to perfect fluids with a barotropic equation of state, but also to those for which the pressure depends on two thermodynamical variables. By quantizing the system we find that (1) some perturbation fields exhibit a noncommutativity quite analogous to the one observed for a charged particle moving in a strong magnetic field, (2) local curvature and pressure perturbations cannot be measured simultaneously, (3) ghosts appear if the null energy condition is violated.

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: We present measurements of the top quark mass using the \mT2, a variable related to the transverse mass in events with two missing particles. We use the template method applied to t\tbar dilepton events produced in p\pbar collisions at Fermilab's Tevatron and collected by the CDF detector. From a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.4 \invfb, we select 236 t\tbar candidate events. Using the \mT2 distribution, we measure the top quark mass to be M_{Top} = 168.0^{+4.8}_{-4.0} $\pm$ {2.9} GeV/c^{2}. By combining the \mT2 with the reconstructed top mass distributions based on a neutrino weighting method, we measure M_{top}=169.3 $\pm$ 2.7 $\pm$ 3.2 GeV/c^{2}. This is the first application of the \mT2 variable in a mass measurement at a hadron collider.

description: Multiblock copolymers with charged blocks are complex systems that show great potential for enhancing the structural control of block copolymers. A pentablock terpolymer PMMA-b-PDMAEMA-b-P2VP-b-PDMAEMA-b-PMMA is investigated. It contains two types of midblocks, which are weak cationic polyelectrolytes, namely poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) and poly(2-vinylpyridine) (P2VP). Furthermore, these are end-capped with short hydrophobic poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) blocks in dilute aqueous solution and thin films. The self-assembly behavior depends on the degrees of ionization α of the P2VP and PDMAEMA blocks, which are altered in a wide range by varying the pH value. High degrees of ionization of both blocks prevent structure formation, whereas microphase-separated nanostructures form for a partially charged and uncharged state. While in solutions, the nanostructure formation is governed by the dependence of the P2VP block solubility of the and the flexibility of the PDMAEMA blocks on α, in thin films, the dependence of the segregation strength on α is key. Furthermore, the solution state plays a crucial role in the film formation during spin-coating. Overall, both the mixing behavior of the 3 types of blocks and the block sequence, governing the bridging behavior, result in strong variations of the nanostructures and their repeat distances.

description: Gravitational waves emitted by kinks on infinite strings are investigated using detailed estimations of the kink distribution on infinite strings. We find that gravitational waves from kinks can be detected by future pulsar timing experiments such as SKA for an appropriate value of the the string tension, if the typical size of string loops is much smaller than the horizon at their formation. Moreover, the gravitational wave spectrum depends on the thermal history of the Universe and hence it can be used as a probe into the early evolution of the Universe.

Significance of the web as a learning resource in an Australian University context
Creators: name: Fan, S
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: The Web and web-based technologies have become widely acceptable and feasible in the modern society. It has created a new paradigm in various areas, including the field of education. Web-based learning, as a strong manifestation of e-learning, has also become indispensible within the tertiary education context. Web-based learning is powerful in many aspects in both traditional curriculum as well as online courses. The Web provides teaching staff and students with a powerful source for interactive communication, placement of teaching materials, assessment and evaluation. As the main stakeholders in Web-based learning are students and teaching staff, it is important to understand their views and attitudes toward the Web as a learning resource. This research involved the participation of 502 students and 100 teaching staff from seven faculties/disciplines at the University of Tasmania. The aim of this study was to investigate the significance of the Web as a learning resource in this university context. It examined the views of teaching staff and students toward the significance of the Web in teaching and learning practices, and identified the environment in which the Web was used to facilitate teaching and learning. This study used both quantitative and qualitative methods for data collection and analysis. It involved two stages of data collection. One questionnaire and two sets of interview questions were used respectively. The statistical data were analysed using the SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) software version 18.0. The textual data collected from the interviews, were analysed using the NVivo qualitative data analysis software version 8. Constructivist grounded theory and thematic analysis were the basis of qualitative data analysis. The results of this study indicated a strong recognition of the role of the Web as a learning resource at the University of Tasmania. The Web was recognised as performing an essential role in the processes of communication, information retrieval, collaborative learning and assessment. Also, the Web and web-based technologies were seen as an important supplementary tool for face-to-face learning. However, there were differences between perceived expectations of web-based education by teaching staff and students, and the ways in which it was conducted and managed. By discussing the end-users‚ÄövÑvº views and evaluations, recommendations are made on the further development and modification of the Web adoption. It suggests that taking student expectations and needs into consideration can help create a more supportive and meaningful web-based learning environment. Training for both staff and students is also desired to enhance their skills in using the Web as a learning resource and to provide standard web-based support in all courses.

description: We present promising initial results of our adaptive multigrid solver developed for application directly to the non-Hermitian Wilson-Dirac system in 4 dimensions, as opposed to the solver developed in [1] for the corresponding normal equations. The key behind the success of this algorithm is the use of an adaptive projection onto coarse grids that preserves the near null space of the system matrix. We demonstrate that the resulting algorithm has weak dependence on the gauge coupling and exhibits extremely mild critical slowing down in the chiral limit.

Modeling edge effects in Graphene Nanoribbon Field-effect Transistors with real and mode space methods

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: A computationally efficient mode space simulation method for atomistic simulation of a graphene nanoribbon field-effect transistor in the ballistic limits is developed. The proposed simulation scheme, which solves the nonequilibrium Green's function coupled with a three dimensional Poisson equation, is based on the atomistic Hamiltonian in a decoupled mode space. The mode space approach, which only treats a few modes (subbands), significantly reduces the simulation time. Additionally, the edge bond relaxation and the third nearest neighbor effects are also included in the quantum transport solver. Simulation examples show that, mode space approach can significantly decrease the simulation cost by about an order of magnitude, yet the results are still accurate. This article also demonstrates that the effects of edge bond relaxation and third nearest neighbor significantly influence the transistor's performance and are necessary to be included in the modeling.

description: Tecto(dendrimers) are well-defined, dendrimer cluster type covalent structures. In this article, we present the synthesis of such a PAMAM [G5:G3-(TREN)]-N-(4-carbomethoxy) pyrrolidone terminated tecto(dendrimer). This tecto(dendrimer) exhibits nontraditional intrinsic luminescence (NTIL; excitation 376 nm; emission 455 nm) that has been attributed to three fluorescent components characterized by different fluorescence lifetimes. Furthermore, it has been shown that this PAMAM [G5:G3-(TREN)]-N-(4-carbomethoxy) pyrrolidone terminated tecto(dendrimer) is able to form a polyplex with double stranded DNA, and is nontoxic for HeLa and HMEC-1 cells up to a concentration of 10 mg/mL, even though it accumulates in endosomal compartments as demonstrated by its unique NTIL emission properties. Many of the above features would portend the proposed use of this tecto(dendrimer) as an efficient transfection agent. Quite surprisingly, transfection activity could not be demonstrated in HeLa cells, and the possible reasons are discussed in the article. © 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.

description: The presence of a primordial magnetic field would have induced resonant conversions between photons and axion-like particles (ALPs) during the thermal history of the Universe. These conversions would have distorted the blackbody spectrum of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). In this context, we derive bounds on the photon-ALP resonant conversions using the high precision CMB spectral data collected by the FIRAS instrument on board of the Cosmic Background Explorer. We obtain upper limits on the product of the photon-ALP coupling constant g times the magnetic field strength B down to g B > 10^{-13} GeV^{-1} nG for ALP masses below the eV scale.

Motions and loads were investigated by using two different high-speed catamaran models and a full scale ship. Firstly, a hydroelastic segmented model (HSM) of the INCAT 112 m class wavepiercer catamaran with centrebow was designed. It was tested in a towing tank for a range of head seas conditions to determine the motion responses, vertical bending moment (VBM) and slam loads. A second catamaran model was designed and tested in oblique seas in a model test basin (MTB) to examine the motions and asymmetric wave-induced loads. Thirdly, full scale measurements were performed during the delivery voyage of the INCAT 112 m Hull 064 from Hobart in Australia to Hakodate in Japan, to measure the motions and structural load responses. The structural dynamic behaviour of the full scale vessel was replicated by the HSM model and the slamming and subsequent whipping behaviour were successfully modelled. As wave energy was consumed in the structural vibration of the model, the heave and pitch transfer function peaks reduced significantly when compared to the rigid configuration. The HSM test results also showed a strong non-linear motion response, with respect to wave height for this type of vessel, mainly due to the influence of the centrebow. The peak values for the VBM and slam loads were confirmed to be proportional to the square of the wave height for large waves. The MTB test model, which was not fitted with a centrebow, provided linear pitch, heave and roll motions for varying wave heights. The pitch connecting moment was found to be the dominant of the asymmetric wave loads and was linear with respect to wave height. During the full scale measurement programme, slamming phenomena were clearly recorded whilst crossing the Bass Strait. A reconstruction of the event, from the measured data, indicated that a slam event with subsequent whipping occurred with a bow down trim. Spectral analysis was used to detect the response frequencies of the VBM and machinery, with the frequency of the longitudinal mode increasing as the displacement reduced. These experimental programmes, encompassing model and full scale measurements, have revealed valuable insights into the motion and structural dynamic behaviour of large high-speed catamarans. A comprehensive set of motion transfer functions, VBM and slam loads coefficients have been obtained, thus providing designers with important slam and wave load knowledge to aid the improved structural optimisation of these vessels.

description: We present a fiber-based continuous-variable quantum key distribution system. In the scheme, a quantum signal of two non-orthogonal weak optical coherent states is sent through a fiber-based quantum channel. The receiver simultaneously measures conjugate quadratures of the light using two homodyne detectors. From the measured Q-function of the transmitted signal, we estimate the attenuation and the excess noise caused by the channel. The estimated excess noise originating from the channel and the channel attenuation including the quantum efficiency of the detection setup is investigated with respect to the detection of effective entanglement. The local oscillator is considered in the verification. We witness effective entanglement with a channel length of up to 2km.

title: Datenbasierte Subgridskalen-Modellierung reaktiver Konzentrationsgrenzschichten an freiaufsteigenden Einzelblasen
Creators: name: Kiefer, Alexander
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2020

description: Betrachtet wird das Problem großer Schmidt-Zahlen an einzelnen, freiaufsteigenden Gasblasen mit einer zusätzlichen chemischen Reaktion der Transferspezies. In so einem Fall ist die Konzentrationsgrenzschicht deutlich kleiner als die Strömungsgrenzschicht. Für die Direkte Numerische Simulation bedeutet dies die Verwendung von sehr feinen Gittern, welche den Simulationsaufwand erhöhen. Um dem zu begegnen, verwendeten vorhergehende Arbeiten ein Subgridskalen-Modell für den Speziestransport, womit gröbere Gitter benutzt werden können. Der ungenau wiedergegebene Stofftransport wurde durch Eingriffe des Modells korrigiert. Dies geschieht durch Anpassung der Fluss- und Quellterme der Speziestransportgleichungen in der Simulation. Das Subgridskalen-Modell wurde durch einen datenbasierten Ansatz mit Hilfe eines neuronalen Netzes berechnet. Die dafür notwendigen Trainingsdaten wurden durch Simulationen eines vereinfachten Ersatzproblems gewonnen. Aufbauend auf dieser Vorgehensweise wird in dieser Arbeit ebenfalls ein datenbasiertes Subgridskalen-Modell verwendet. Der Prozess der Trainingsdatengenerierung wird weiter vereinfacht. Es wird ein eindimensionales Modell abgeleitet, mit dem die Trainingsdaten berechnet werden. Dies reduziert den Aufwand für die Datengenerierung. Anstatt einer Zerfallsreaktion für die Transferspezies wird in dieser Arbeit die Reaktion der Transferspezies mit einer, in der Flüssigkeit gelösten, Spezies betrachtet, somit treten zwei zusätzliche Spezies auf. Um den Prozess des Netztrainings zu erleichtern wird eine Reduktion des Trainingsdatensatzes durchgeführt, um redundante Daten herauszufiltern. In dieser Arbeit werden zwei Reduktionsalgrithmen entwickelt, miteinander verglichen und schließlich kombiniert. Erste Tests des Subgridskalen-Modells an einer einfachen Blasengeometrie haben gute Ergebnisse gezeigt. Ein Vergleich mit einer vollaufgelösten Referenzsimulation zeigte Abweichungen der globalen Sherwood-Zahl für die Transferspezies von unter 4%.
Neutrinoless double beta decays of the top quark and other effects of heavy Majorana neutrinos

description: We discuss the rare decay of the top quark into a pair of same charge leptons (with identical or different flavors), a b quark and a (real or virtual) W-. The above process proceeds only if the exchanged neutrino N is of the Majorana type. This decay is the neutrinoless double b decay of the top. We find measurable values for its rate at the LHC with luminosity of 100 inverse fb. Furthermore, we consider an interaction of charged Higgs bosons with N which leads to lepton number violating processes such as pp to l+ N to l+ l+ H-, exhibiting spectacular events of the type: l+ l+ b b(bar) + 2 jets.

Influence of stocking and density upon growth and yield of trees and stands of Coastal western hemlock
Creators: name: Osborn, John E.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Variations in western hemlock tree and stand growth were analysed to determine the relative importance of causative factors. Four phases in a stand's life-cycle were investigated (seedling establishment, juvenile growth, early stand formation, and middle-age). Detailed analyses of tree growth were made at the time of early stand formation (25 to 35 years). Stand growth and yield data (15 to 160 years) were analysed by multiple regression methods to ascertain the effects of varying density regimes on time and magnitude of maximum wood volume per acre. In all stands studied, tree height was unaffected by variations in stand density. Detailed analyses of current breast-height radial growth indicated that the factors of antecedent growth, tree d.b.h., stand density, age, and site quality were of decreasing importance in the order listed. Statistically, the best measures of stand density were ratios of crown width and live crown length with total tree height, although stand basal area per acre was only slightly less significant. Stand fertilisation with nitrogen stimulated tree radial growth and changed the relative concentrations of foliar nutrients within the crown. Limited (15 trees) biomass studies indicated that production per unit area of above-ground tree weight (oven-dry) increased linearly with greater stand density. Yield increased directly in proportion to the fraction of area occupied by trees (stocking) and curvilinearly with degree of crowding (stand density) within the area occupied. Mean annual net volume increment did not culminate even at stand densities of 500 square feet of basal area per acre. Both intensive and extensive forest management was discussed. Within the Coastal hemlock zone there could be many advantages for a shelterwood regeneration system and two-storey high forest with western hemlock as a supplementary species.

description: IGR J18483-0311 was discovered with INTEGRAL in 2003 and later classified as a supergiant fast X-ray transient. It was observed in outburst many times, but its quiescent state is still poorly known. Here we present the results of XMM-Newton, Swift, and Chandra observations of IGRJ18483-0311. These data improved the X-ray position of the source, and provided new information on the timing and spectral properties of IGR J18483-0311 in quiescence. We report the detection of pulsations in the quiescent X-ray emission of this source, and give for the first time a measurement of the spin-period derivative of this source. In IGRJ18483-0311 the measured spin-period derivative of -(1.3+-0.3)x10^(-9) s/s likely results from light travel time effects in the binary. We compare the most recent observational results of IGRJ18483-0311 and SAXJ1818.6-1703, the two supergiant fast X-ray transients for which a similar orbital period has been measured.

description: We reformulate the O(N) sigma model as a loop model whose configurations are the all-order strong coupling graphs of the original model. The loop configurations are represented by a pointer list in the computer and a Monte Carlo update scheme is proposed. Sample simulations are reported and the method turns out to be similarly efficient as the reflection cluster method, but it has greater potential for systematic generalization to other lattice field theories. A variant action suggested by the method is also simulated and leads to a rather extreme demonstration of the concept of universality of the scaling or continuum limit.

description: In this work, we examine the validity of quantum adiabatic theorem in thermodynamic systems. For a $d$-dimensional quantum many-body system, we show that the duration time $τ_0$ required by its ground-state adiabatic process does not depend on the microscopic details, but the scaling dimension of the fidelity susceptibility $d_a$. Our result, therefore, provides a quantitative time scale of the quantum adiabatic theorem in thermodynamic systems. The quantum adiabatic theorem might be violated in case that the scaling dimension of the fidelity susceptibility is larger than the system's real dimension ($d_a>d$).

description: Here, we analyze the dispersion behavior of revolver-type anti-resonant hollow core fibers, revealing that the chromatic dispersion of this type of fiber geometry is dominated by the resonances of the glass annuluses, whereas the actual arrangement of the anti-resonant microstructure has a minor impact. Based on these findings, we show that the dispersion behavior of the fundamental core mode can be approximated by that of a tube-type fiber, allowing us to derive analytic expressions for phase index, group-velocity dispersion and zero-dispersion wavelength. The resulting equations and simulations reveal that the emergence of zero group velocity dispersion in anti-resonant fibers is fundamentally associated with the adjacent annulus resonance which can be adjusted mainly via the glass thickness of the anti-resonant elements. Due to their generality and the straightforward applicability, our findings will find application in all fields addressing controlling and engineering of pulse dispersion in anti-resonant hollow core fibers.
