description: We introduce a fractional theory of the calculus of variations for multiple integrals. Our approach uses the recent notions of Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives and integrals in the sense of Jumarie. Main results provide fractional versions of the theorems of Green and Gauss, fractional Euler-Lagrange equations, and fractional natural boundary conditions. As an application we discuss the fractional equation of motion of a vibrating string.

Laboratory-based grain-shape models for simulating dust infrared spectra

description: Analysis of thermal dust emission spectra for dust mineralogy and physical grain properties depends on laboratory-measured or calculated comparison spectra. Often, the agreement between these two kinds of spectra is not satisfactory because of the strong influence of the grain morphology on the spectra. We investigate the ability of the statistical light-scattering model with a distribution of form factors (DFF model) to reproduce experimentally measured infrared extinction spectra for particles that are small compared to the wavelength. We take advantage of new experimental spectra measured for free particles dispersed in air with accompanying information on the grain morphology. For the calculations, we used DFFs that were derived for aggregates of spherical grains, as well as for compact grain shapes corresponding to Gaussian random spheres. Irregular particle shapes require a DFF similar to that of a Gaussian random sphere with sigma=0.3, whereas roundish grain shapes are best fitted with that of a fractal aggregate of a fractal dimension 2.4-1.8. In addition we used a fitting algorithm to obtain the best-fit DFFs for the various laboratory samples. In this way we can independently derive information on the shape of the grains from their infrared spectra. For anisotropic materials, different DFFs are needed for the different crystallographic axes. This is due to a theoretical problem, which is inherent to all models that are simply averaging the contributions of the crystallographic directions.

Study of the quenching of O2 (1[Sigma]+g)
Creators: name: Lakusta, Helen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A study of the quenching abilities of a series of compounds containing heavy atoms was undertaken to ascertain whether or not 0₂(¹Σ⁺[formula omitted]) quenching is subject to heavy atom enhancement. Presence of a heavy atom effect would suggest significant quenching via the 0₂(¹Σ⁺[formula omitted] → ³Σˉ[formula omitted]) transition. The fact that no such effect is observed supports the generally assumed quenching mode: 0₂(¹Σ⁺[formula omitted] → ¹Δ[formula omitted]). A systematic investigation of the use of overlap of absorption spectrum of quencher with emission spectrum of 0₂(¹Σ⁺[formula omitted]) to obtain calculated quenching rate constants was undertaken. The correlation between calculated and experimental rate constants are examined and shortcomings of the method are presented.

title: Locus of Control: Effects on the Reported Gains Made in Assertion Training
Creators: name: Campbell, Eugene Earl
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1981

description: Forty-nine Cache Valley residents, between the ages of 18 and 45, who volunteered to participate in an assertion training class were assigned to one of seven groups. Subjects were administered pre- and posttests and a two month follow-up evaluation. Measures included Rotter's Internal-External Locus of Control Scale, the Rathus Assertive Scale, and the Berger Self-Acceptance Scale. The results obtained indicate that self-acceptance and assertiveness changed as a result of assertion training and that these changes were maintained at follow-up. No difference between internals and externals was observed as a result of semi-structured assertion training.
Spectral and magnetic studies on metal fluorosulfate complexes
Creators: name: Alleyne, Carl Stanley
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The work described in this thesis is in two essentially independent parts. In Chapter 3, we have studied the infrared spectra of the alkaline earth and first-row transition metal bisfluorosulfates over the frequency range 4000 – 250 cm⁻¹ in an attempt to resolve discrepancies in the literature on the infrared spectra of these compounds. We have obtained spectra for these compounds which are easily assigned and we suggest that the discrepancies in the literature may be due to differences in crystalline modifications studied by the different workers. We have also checked the reliability of infrared frequency shifts as measures of cation-anion interaction in fluorosulfate compounds. We observe a general increase in frequencies for the symmetric SO₃ stretching and S-F stretching modes with increasing interaction, but no quantitative relationship is present. However, the S-F stretching mode is shown to give a good indication of cation-anion interaction for compounds with predominantly ionic character. In the second part of this thesis, described in Chapter 4, we have prepared tetrakis(pyridine) complexes of nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) fluorosulfates. In order to determine the coordination strength of the fluorosulfate ion relative to other ions, we have also prepared and characterized complexes of the general formula Cu(py) ₄X₂ (X = C10₄ˉ, BF₄ˉ, N0₃ˉ, CH₃C₆H₄SO₃ˉ, CF₃COOˉ ) by infrared, electronic, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, electrical conductivity, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The results indicate that on the whole, the coordination strength of SO₃Fˉ towards metals is similar, but slightly stronger than CIO₄ˉ and BF₄ˉ , definitely stronger than PF₆ˉ, and weaker than ReO₄,ˉ, CH₃C₆H₄SO₃ˉ and CF₃C00ˉ .

description: In this letter, an approach for designing a tunable and steerable antenna is presented. The antenna model is based on a wideband bow-tie radiating element mounted above an active Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC). The AMC geometry consists of a Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) printed on a thin grounded dielectric slab in which some chip-set varactor diodes are placed between the metallic elements and the backing plane through vias. The resulting antenna can be tuned over the S-Band by simply changing all varactor capacitances through an appropriate biasing voltage. Moreover, this structure can operate a beam scanning over each working frequency by applying an appropriate biasing voltage to the active elements of the AMC surface in accordance to leaky radiation principles. The low profile active antenna is characterized by an overall thickness of 5.32 mm, which corresponds to approximately lambda/24 at the centre of the operating band.

title: Effects of Preexposure to Shock on Autoshaping
Creators: name: Eldred, Nancy L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1981

description: The safety signal hypothesis suggests that during the absence of stimuli predicting impending shock, the organism is not fearful. The stimuli which predict the absence of shock are therefore called safety signals. The purpose of the present study was to investigate some critical properties of safety signals. Such stimuli in an avoidance or escape situation, according to the opponent process model, are expected to acquire hedonic value opposite to shock.
This study examined differences in conditioning variables between safety signals predicting different intensities of shock, and between safety signals present in procedures using predicted shock, and procedures using unpredicted shock. Additionally, the effects of inescapable unpredicted shock with no safety signals present were examined.
The general procedure involved exposing pigeons to aversive Pavlovian conditioning and subsequently autoshaping these birds to stimuli which had predicted safety in the aversive situation.
Dependent measures included trials to acquisition of the autoshaped response and subsequent rate of keypecking.
In the six experimental groups, pigeons were repeatedly and inescapably shocked at either 30 or 90 volts. Each individual 0.5 sec shock was (a) predicted by a specific stimulus or (b) not predicted. Additionally and explicitly unpaired with the shock, a safety signal was presented. For each voltage level, a control group was repeatedly shocked with no stimuli presented at any time.
Control groups were included which (a) received no aversive conditioning, (b) were autoshaped to a stimulus which had previously predicted shock, (c) received the aversive conditioning, and (4) were exposed to various stimuli but received no aversive reinforcement.
The principal finding was that preexposure to strong shock resulted in delays in response acquisition during subsequent autoshaping. This suggests that the learned helplessness hypothesis obtains with classically conditioned responding. Additionally, the importance of shock-alone control groups in the study of transfer effects is critical. Due to the lack of statistical power, the study was not definitive regarding the nature of safety signals or appetitive-to-appetitive transfers. Statistically significant differences were only found on acquisition measures, and no such differences were found on performance measures.

description: Polymer vesicles are stable robust vesicles made from block copolymer amphiphiles. Recent progress in the chemical design of block copolymers opens up the exciting possibility of creating a wide variety of polymer vesicles with varying fine structure, functionality and geometry. Polymer vesicles not only constitute useful systems for drug delivery and micro/nano-reactors but also provide an invaluable arena for exploring the ordering of matter on curved surfaces embedded in three dimensions. By choosing suitable liquid-crystalline polymers for one of the copolymer components one can create vesicles with smectic stripes. Smectic order on shapes of spherical topology inevitably possesses topological defects (disclinations) that are themselves distinguished regions for potential chemical functionalization and nucleators of vesicle budding. Here we report on glassy striped polymer vesicles formed from amphiphilic block copolymers in which the hydrophobic block is a smectic liquid crystal polymer containing cholesteryl-based mesogens. The vesicles exhibit two-dimensional smectic order and are ellipsoidal in shape with defects, or possible additional budding into isotropic vesicles, at the poles.

Here we demonstrate on-chip electrical detection of single plasmons propagating along gold waveguides. The plasmons are excited using the single-photon emission of an optically emitting quantum dot. After propagating for several micrometers, the plasmons are coupled to a superconducting detector in the near-field. Correlation measurements prove that single plasmons are being detected.

description: The activism towards increased engagement of women participation in peacebuilding process dates back to 1975, from the UN Women conference in Mexico, the 1980 Women Conference in Copenhagen, to the unanimous passage of the UNSCR1325. The fact that women are the most vulnerable in times of war earns them the right to be included in counter-insurgency management and the post-conflict peace process. In North-eastern Nigeria, women suffer from Boko-haram insurgencies and despicable acts, including forced marriages, rapes, displacement, destruction of livelihood and widowed. The study argues that by domesticating the UNSCR1325, the strategies for mitigating the human suffering inflicted on the people by the insurgency would be sufficiently engendered to address the needs of women who are mostly impacted by the insurgencies as mothers, wives’ sisters and daughters.

description: This research focuses on the comparison of the traffic noise levels that are calculated from prediction models, and the noise levels from actual traffic noise measurement. The research was conducted on Regent Street, Sandy Bay Road and the Tasman Highway, Hobart. At each site, the traffic noise measurement was operated seven days continuously, with site topography and at least 10 hours of traffic volume studies. Repeat measurements were taken at each site. Three prediction models: T-Noise, STAMSON4.1 and ITFNS1.1 were used for predictng traffic noise levels at each study site. The study showed that in day-time, all recorded noise levels under normal conditions exceeded both NSW road traffic noise criteria and Tasmanian road noise guideline (Leq 15 hr = 60 dB(A)) and (L10 18 hr = 63 dB(A), respectively), and most of the night-time noise levels exceeded both night-time criteria of NSW and Tasmania (Leq 9hr = 55 dB(A) and Leq 1 hr = 55 dB(A), respectively). Traffic volume studies showed that there were approximately 850 veh/hr with 11 % trucks on Regent Street, 1600 veh/hr with 13% trucks on Sandy Bay Road and 3200 veh/hr with 6% trucks on the Tasman Highway. The comparison studies showed that, within the absolute noise levels comparison, on Regent Street and Sandy Bay Road, T-Noise showed the greatest accuracy with the smallest variation, an average of 0.76 dB over prediction on Regent Street and 1.12 dB under prediction on Sandy Bay Road. STAMSON4.1 provided less accuracy than T-Noise, with an average under prediction of 1.86 dB on Regent Street and 2.51 dB under prediction on Sandy Bay Road. ITFNS1.1 exhibited unreliable predictions for all study sites. None of the models presented reliable results for the Tasman Highway study site. The results from correlation tests on predicted and actual noise levels showed that T-Noise and STAMSON4.1 provided no significant difference in the correlation coefficient values. At the urban road sites T-Noise provided the greatest correlation of R2 = 0.57, while STAMSON4.1 provided R2 = 0.43, with only R2 = 0.006 gained from ITFNS1.1. For highway conditions, T-Noise provided the greatest correlation of R2 = 0.64, while R2 = 0.43 was offered by STAMSON4.1. However, in correlation tests of urban and highway conditions combined, both models showed poor results with R2 = 0.08 and R2 = 0.27 from T-Noise and STAMSON4.1 respectively. These results provide an indication of the accuracy of these models for this application. In the case of correlation between traffic volumes and the accuracy of noise level predictions; only T-Noise shows a correlation between these two factors indicating a propensity for improvement in its accuracy for this application.

description: This resource is a single blog post created as part of the Day of Archaeology initiative. The Day of Archaeology project aimed to provide a window into the daily lives of archaeologists from all over the world. The project asked people working, studying or volunteering in the archaeological world to participate in a 'Day of Archaeology' each year by recording their day and sharing it through text, images or video on the Day of Archaeology blog.
The project asked anyone with a personal, professional or voluntary interest in archaeology to get involved, and help highlight the reasons why archaeology is vital to protect the past and inform our futures. The resulting Day of Archaeology project archive demonstrates the wide variety of work the archaeological profession undertakes day-to-day across the globe, and helps to raise public awareness of the relevance and importance of archaeology to the modern world.
The first ever Day of Archaeology was held in 2011 and, since then, the project had thousands of archaeologists take part in the event, from those working in the field through to specialists working in laboratories and behind computers. The last Day of Archaeology was on Friday 28th July 2017.

description: In planning a health program for either high school or grade school, the first consideration must be the object to be accomplished. To further this aim, methods of contributing to continuous and satisfactory growth must be such as will gain not only the interest but also the active participation of the child to the point where he will almost unconsciously adopt such personal habits in healthy living as will accomplish this aim.

Complexation and hydrogenation of olefins by chlororuthenate (II) in aqueous acid solution
Creators: name: King, Roy James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The formation of 1:1 π-complexes between chlororuthenate(II) and a series of substituted ethylenes in aqueous hydrochloric acid solution is described. Kinetic studies of the complexation for maleic, acrylic and crotonic acid substrates are presented. The likely mechanism is a two step process involving an initial S[subscript]N¹ dissociation of a chlororuthenate(II) complex or complexes. The nature of the blue chlororuthenate(II) species is uncertain and this prevents resolution of some questions about the mechanism; however, observations on the behavior of the blue solutions and some suggestions as to their possible nature are given. Acrylic and crotonic acids are hydrogenated catalytically via the ruthenium(II) π-complexes. Crotonaldehyde and crotonitrile complexes of chlororuthenate(II) are not hydrogenated but undergo hydration and/or polymerization. Kinetic data for the hydrogenation of the organic acids fit a well established mechanism. The factors which influence reaction rates in the hydrogenation steps are thoroughly discussed.

title: An Expert System to Train Secondary Special Education Teachers in Language Arts Instruction

description: Writing, a complex organizational process that makes excessive attentional demands, can be frustrating for handicapped students. These students seldom complete a finished written product because t he y are usually trying to master the mechanical aspects of writing . Teaching the secondary-aged student with learning problems to use and unify writing skills into a finished product may be an initial step in helping them acomplish more difficult writing tasks.
The purpose of this Research and Development (R & D) study was (a) to develop and validate an expert system which suggests teaching and management strategies for special education teachers and (b) to develop a curriculum which provides the special education teacher with an effective method for teaching students to produce a business letter.
The development of Written Language Consultant (WLC) followed an R & D model which included the following stages: (a) product definition and design, (b) product prototype and progressive revision, and (c) product validation.
The summative evaluation was conducted in six secondary special education classrooms. Thirty-two students participated in the study. A non-equivalent control group design with counterbalancing was used so that all teachers could use and evaluate WLC and all students could receive the treatment.
The teachers completed a series of Likert-type questionnaires. The teachers' responses indicated that they agreed the information in the expert system knowledge base was valid, accurate , and practical.
That WLC assisted teachers in successfully teaching these students to write a business letter was supported by the observed statistically significant differences between the experimental and control groups on parts A and B of posttest 1 after the initial treatment (p < . 01), the difference favoring the experimental group. Further supporting evidence was provided by the gains made by the control group after they received the treatment (pretest mean= 111, posttest mean= 375).
An analysis of the students' performance by mastery level showed that once these students were taught the steps and procedures for writing a business letter they were able to produce a more acceptable product . When they were pretested, none of the students could write a business letter. After the students were taught to write a business letter by teachers using WLC, 21 of the 32 students (66%) could write a business letter at an 80% or better mastery level.

On the determination of intermolecular potentials
Creators: name: Snook, Ian Keith
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The definition and computational aspects of the intermolecular potential energy function (hereafter simply called the intermolecular potential or the potential) are discussed. A very convenient method of determining tlie intermolecular potential by direct quantum mechanical calculation is developed and illustrated by application to the interaction of two ground state heIium atoms. A summary is also presented of the relationship between the intermolecular potential and the bulk properties of a gas to facilitate the investigation of the semi-empirical method of determining the potentiaI. This approach is applied to the pair interactions of CH4,CF4 and SF6 molecules. Both the semi-empiricaI and quantum mechanicaI methods are then applied to the question of the non-additivity of the intermolecular potential.
