description: We use redshift determinations and spectral analysis of galaxies in the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey to study the properties of local radio sources with S ≥ 1 mJy. 557 objects (hereafter called the spectroscopic sample) drawn from the FIRST survey, corresponding to 2.3 per cent of the total radio sample, are found in the 2dFGRS catalogue within the area 9h48m ≲ RA(2000) ≲ 14h32m and -2o.77 ≲ Dec.(2000) ≲ 2o.25, down to a magnitude limit bJ = 19.45. The excellent quality of 2dF spectra allows us to divide these sources into classes, according to their optical spectra. Absorption-line systems make up 63 per cent of the spectroscopic sample. These may or may not show emission lines due to AGN activity, and correspond to 'classical' radio galaxies belonging mainly to the FRI class. They are characterized by relatively high radio-to-optical ratios, red colours, and high radio luminosities (1021 ≲ P1.4 GHz/W Hz-1 sr-1 ≲ 1024). Actively star-forming galaxies contribute about 32 per cent of the sample. These objects are mainly found at low redshifts (z ≲ 0.1) and show low radio-to-optical ratios, blue colours and low radio luminosities. We also found 18 Seyfert 2 galaxies (3 per cent) and four Seyfert 1s (1 per cent). Analysis of the local radio luminosity function (LF) shows that radio galaxies are well described by models that assume pure luminosity evolution, at least down to radio powers P1.4 GHz ≲ 1020.5 W Hz-1 sr-1. Late-type galaxies, whose relative contribution to the radio LF is found to be lower than was predicted by previous works, present an LF which is comparable with the IRAS galaxy LF. This class of sources therefore plausibly constitutes the radio counterpart of the dusty spirals and starbursts that dominate the counts at 60 μm.

description: We examine the use of time series data, derived from Electric Cell-substrate Impedance Sensing (ECIS), to differentiate between standard mammalian cell cultures and those infected with a mycoplasma organism. With the goal of easy visualization and interpretation, we perform low-dimensional feature-based classification, extracting application-relevant features from the ECIS time courses. We can achieve very high classification accuracy using only two features, which depend on the cell line under examination. Initial results also show the existence of experimental variation between plates and suggest types of features that may prove more robust to such variation. Our paper is the first to perform a broad examination of ECIS time course features in the context of detecting contamination; to combine different types of features to achieve classification accuracy while preserving interpretability; and to describe and suggest possibilities for ameliorating plate-to-plate variation.

description: This paper explores the effects of sectoral targets in international climate policy in a macroeconomic frame-work, their interaction with the EU emissions Trading System (EU ETS), and to which extent sectoral targets can address the concerns of competitiveness. We assume that a global binding agreement exists between the steel sector and governments. The steel sector seems particularly suited for a sectoral targets approach be-cause it is relatively CO2-intensive (3-5% of global CO2-emissions) and also trade intensive (approximately 20% of the value of steel output is traded).

description: We calculate the optical bJ luminosity function (LF) of the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) for different subsets defined by their spectral properties. These spectrally selected subsets are defined using a new parameter, η, which is a linear combination of the first two projections derived from a Principal Component Analysis. This parameter η identifies the average emission-and absorption-line strength in the galaxy rest frame spectrum, and hence is a useful indicator of the present star formation. We use a total of 75000 galaxies in our calculations, chosen from a sample of high signal-to-noise ratio, low-redshift galaxies observed before 2001 January. We find that there is a systematic steepening of the faint-end slope (α) as one moves from passive (α = -0.54) to active (α = -1.50) star-forming galaxies, and that there is also a corresponding faintening of the rest frame characteristic magnitude M* - 5 log10(h) (from -19.6 to -19.2). We also show that the Schechter function provides a poor fit to the quiescent (Type 1) LF for very faint galaxies [MbJ -5 log10(h) fainter than -16.0], perhaps suggesting the presence of a significant dwarf population. The LFs presented here give a precise confirmation of the trends seen previously in a much smaller preliminary 2dFGRS sample, and in other surveys. We also present a new procedure for determining self-consistent k-corrections, and investigate possible fibre-aperture biases.

description: Narcissism scores are higher in individualistic cultures compared with more collectivistic cultures. However, the impact of sociocultural factors on narcissism and self-esteem has not been well described. Germany was formerly divided into two different social systems, each with distinct economic, political and national cultures, and was reunified in 1989/90. Between 1949 and 1989/90, West Germany had an individualistic culture, whereas East Germany had a more collectivistic culture. The German reunification provides an exceptional opportunity to investigate the impact of sociocultural and generational differences on narcissism and self-esteem. In this study, we used an anonymous online survey to assess grandiose narcissism with the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) and the Pathological Narcissism Inventory (PNI) to assess grandiose and vulnerable aspects of narcissism, and self-esteem with the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE) in 1,025 German individuals. Data were analyzed according to age and place of birth. Our results showed that grandiose narcissism was higher and self-esteem was lower in individuals who grew up in former West Germany compared with former East Germany. Further analyses indicated no significant differences in grandiose narcissism, vulnerable narcissism or self-esteem in individuals that entered school after the German reunification (<= 5 years of age in 1989). In the middle age cohort (6-18 years of age in 1989), significant differences in vulnerable narcissism, grandiose narcissism and self-esteem were observed. In the oldest age cohort (> 19 years of age in 1989), significant differences were only found in one of the two scales assessing grandiose narcissism (NPI). Our data provides empirical evidence that sociocultural factors are associated with differences in narcissism and self-esteem.

Investigating the design elements of typicality and novelty to enhance the appeal of Thai souvenirs
Creators: name: Maluleem, Kassameerat
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This study examined how typicality and novelty affect the aesthetic preference for designed products. It was undertaken to promote and enhance Thai design to ensure products designed in Thailand were more competitive on a global scale. The focus was on tourism products (souvenirs) in Thailand. The product selection followed Thailand's 4.0 policy. The study found that the two countries, China and Australia, had similar preferences in terms of the metric "Pleasing to see". Conclusions suggested that product studies should focus on how aesthetic preferences for product shape affect its effectiveness as a souvenir gift for tourists visiting Thailand.

description: We investigate the dependence of galaxy clustering on luminosity and spectral type using the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS). Spectral types are assigned using the principal-component analysis of Madgwick et al. We divide the sample into two broad spectral classes: galaxies with strong emission lines ('late types') and more quiescent galaxies ('early types'). We measure the clustering in real space, free from any distortion of the clustering pattern owing to peculiar velocities, for a series of volume-limited samples. The projected correlation functions of both spectral types are well described by a power law for transverse separations in the range 2 < (σ/h-1 Mpc) < 15, with a marginally steeper slope for early types than late types. Both early and late types have approximately the same dependence of clustering strength on luminosity, with the clustering amplitude increasing by a factor of ∼2.5 between L* and 4L*. At all luminosities, however, the correlation function amplitude for the early types is ∼50 per cent higher than that of the late types. These results support the view that luminosity, and not type, is the dominant factor in determining how the clustering strength of the whole galaxy population varies with luminosity.

description: Citizen Science (CS) is a research approach that has become popular in recent years and offers innovative potential for dialect research in ornithology. As the scepticism about CS data is still widespread, we analysed the development of a 3-year CS project based on the song of the Common Nightingale (Luscinia megarhynchos) to share best practices and lessons learned. We focused on the data scope, individual engagement, spatial distribution and species misidentifications from recordings generated before (2018, 2019) and during the COVID-19 outbreak (2020) with a smartphone using the ‘Naturblick’ app. The number of nightingale song recordings and individual engagement increased steadily and peaked in the season during the pandemic. 13,991 nightingale song recordings were generated by anonymous (64%) and non-anonymous participants (36%). As the project developed, the spatial distribution of recordings expanded (from Berlin based to nationwide). The rates of species misidentifications were low, decreased in the course of the project (10–1%) and were mainly affected by vocal similarities with other bird species. This study further showed that community engagement and data quality were not directly affected by dissemination activities, but that the former was influenced by external factors and the latter benefited from the app. We conclude that CS projects using smartphone apps with an integrated pattern recognition algorithm are well suited to support bioacoustic research in ornithology. Based on our findings, we recommend setting up CS projects over the long term to build an engaged community which generates high data quality for robust scientific conclusions.
Modeling Triple Phase Boundary (TPB) in Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) Anode
Creators: name: Soltanzadeh, Marjan
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Chemical.

description: The idea of having the triple phase boundary (TPB) is extensively used in the fuel cell literature, especially with respect to solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). The TPB concept indicates that the hydrogen oxidation reaction and the oxygen reduction reaction, which produce electric current, can actually occur at special sites, called "triple phase boundaries" where the gaseous fuel phase, ion conducting phase: electrolyte, and electron conducting phase, come into contact. Recent study shows that despite the common assumption about TPB, it is not just a point, but a zone that consists of two lines. The kinetic reaction often introduces a significant limitation to fuel cell performance. Therefore, understanding, characterizing, and optimizing the TPB content in fuel cells provides excellent opportunities for performance improvement. Studying the kinetics of the reaction that takes place at the triple phase boundary is one aspect of this paper. It includes the study of all kinds of chemical and electrochemical reactions as well as their reaction rates, the surface species, and the electrochemical parameters, such as reaction rate constants and conductivity. A mathematical model is developed to describe a simplified anodic solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system, Ni/ H2--H 2O/YSZ, and its reaction occurring in the vicinity of the triple phase boundary (TPB). The model incorporates coupled diffusion, migration and reaction phenomena of the chemical components in the gas phase, Ni particle and zirconia solid state. The kinetic constants necessary for the simulations are estimated on the basis of literature data.
Mouse oocyte maturation: How similar is it to frog oocyte maturation?
Creators: name: Wang, Ling
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Biology, Cell.

description: In this study, I have attempted to address the similarities/differences between amphibian and mouse oocytes by focusing on two aspects of mouse oocyte maturation. In the first project, I investigated the ability of several antagonists of serotonin receptors to initiate follicle-enclosed mouse oocytes to undergo maturation. I demonstrated that ritanserin, but not any others, was capable of inducing oocyte maturation in the intact mouse follicles. Significantly, ritanserin is also capable of inducing frog oocyte maturation, as demonstrated by others in our lab. These results therefore suggested that a similar cAMP-elevating G protein coupled receptor, the target of ritanserin, is responsible for maintaining prophase arrest in both frog and mouse oocytes. In the second project, I have investigated the ability brefeldin A (BFA), a specific inhibitor of a small G protein ARF1, to initiate mouse oocyte maturation, as it has been suggested that BFA is capable of inducing frog oocyte maturation. I demonstrated that BFA indeed was as potent as human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) to initiate follicle-enclosed oocytes to undergo germinal vesicle breakdown. However, BFA-treated oocytes failed to complete maturation and, instead, were arrested at metaphase I with apparently normal bipolar spindles. We further demonstrated a dominant negative mutant of ARF1 (ARF1-T31N-HA) similarly arrested the maturing oocytes at metaphase I. These studies helped reinforce the idea that oocyte maturation is fundamentally the same in mammals as it is in amphibians. The experimentally observed differences may not be very significant biologically. This concept will be discussed in conjunction with recently published literature. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Using Narrative Identity to Better Understand Learning Dispositions to Support University Students
Creators: name: Kee, Yi Lyn
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The overarching goal of the study reported in this thesis was to gain an insight into learning dispositions (i.e., motivation, engagement, and self-regulation in learning) using the narrative conception of identity (i.e., narrative identity) to identify ways of offering better support to university students. Current literature on the first-year experience showed that there remains a paucity of research investigating the link between identity and learning dispositions and proposed that assisting students in developing their identities could prove fruitful to their educational journey. As such, the investigation of these concepts is important in the quest to better understand and support students’ needs. Overall, this study shed light on the intricate nature of student identity development and provided essential insights for all stakeholders in the higher education sectors to support their students' progress and growth.

description: We perform a joint likelihood analysis of the power spectra of the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) and the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies under the assumptions that the initial fluctuations were adiabatic, Gaussian and well described by power laws with scalar and tensor indices of ns and nt. On its own, the 2dFGRS sets tight limits on the parameter combination Ωmh, but relatively weak limits on the fraction of the cosmic matter density in baryons Ωb/Ωm. (Here h is Hubble's constant H0 in units of 100 km s-1 Mpc-1. The cosmic densities in baryons, cold dark matter and vacuum energy are denoted by Ωb, Ωc and ΩΛ, respectively. The total matter density is Ωm = Ωb + Ωc and the curvature is fixed by Ωk = 1 - Ωm - ΩΛ.) The CMB anisotropy data alone set poor constraints on the cosmological constant and Hubble constant because of a 'geometrical degeneracy' among parameters. Furthermore, if tensor modes are allowed, the CMB data allow a wide range of values for the physical densities in baryons and cold dark matter (ωb = Ωbh2 and ωc = Ωch2). Combining the CMB and 2dFGRS data sets helps to break both the geometrical and tensor mode degeneracies. The values of the parameters derived here are consistent with the predictions of the simplest models of inflation, with the baryon density derived from primordial nucleosynthesis and with direct measurements of the Hubble parameter. In particular, we find strong evidence for a positive cosmological constant with a ±2σ range of 0.65 < ΩΛ < 0.85, independently of constraints on ΩΛ derived from Type Ia supernovae.

description: We have cross-matched the 1.4-GHz NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) with the first 210 fields observed in the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS), covering an effective area of 325 deg2 (about 20 per cent of the final 2dFGRS area). This yields a set of optical spectra of 912 candidate NVSS counterparts, of which we identify 757 as genuine radio identifications - the largest and most homogeneous set of radio source spectra ever obtained. The 2dFGRS radio sources span the redshift range z = 0.005 to 0.438, and are a mixture of active galaxies (60 per cent) and star-forming galaxies (40 per cent). About 25 per cent of the 2dFGRS radio sources are spatially resolved by NVSS, and the sample includes three giant radio galaxies with projected linear size greater than 1 Mpc. The high quality of the 2dF spectra means we can usually distinguish unambiguously between AGN and star-forming galaxies. We make a new determination of the local radio luminosity function at 1.4 GHz for both active and star-forming galaxies, and derive a local star formation density of 0.022 ± 0.004 M⊙ yr-1 Mpc-3 (H0 = 50 km s-1 Mpc-1).

description: Substance-dependent individuals often lack the ability to adjust decisions flexibly in response to the changes in reward contingencies. Prediction errors (PEs) are thought to mediate flexible decision-making by updating the reward values associated with available actions. In this study, we explored whether the neurobiological correlates of PEs are altered in alcohol dependence. Behavioral, and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data were simultaneously acquired from 34 abstinent alcohol-dependent patients (ADP) and 26 healthy controls (HC) during a probabilistic reward-guided decision-making task with dynamically changing reinforcement contingencies. A hierarchical Bayesian inference method was used to fit and compare learning models with different assumptions about the amount of task-related information subjects may have inferred during the experiment. Here, we observed that the best- fitting model was a modified Rescorla-Wagner type model, the “double-update” model, which assumes that subjects infer the knowledge that reward contingencies are anti-correlated, and integrate both actual and hypothetical outcomes into their decisions. Moreover, comparison of the best-fitting model's parameters showed that ADP were less sensitive to punishments compared to HC. Hence, decisions of ADP after punishments were loosely coupled with the expected reward values assigned to them. A correlation analysis between the model-generated PEs and the fMRI data revealed a reduced association between these PEs and the BOLD activity in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) of ADP. A hemispheric asymmetry was observed in the DLPFC when positive and negative PE signals were analyzed separately. The right DLPFC activity in ADP showed a reduced correlation with positive PEs. On the other hand, ADP, particularly the patients with high dependence severity, recruited the left DLPFC to a lesser extent than HC for processing negative PE signals. These results suggest that the DLPFC, which has been linked to adaptive control of action selection, may play an important role in cognitive inflexibility observed in alcohol dependence when reinforcement contingencies change. Particularly, the left DLPFC may contribute to this impaired behavioral adaptation, possibly by impeding the extinction of the actions that no longer lead to a reward.

description: Media attention surrounding violence in schools has increased in recent years. As a result, police presence has become common in many schools, especially in urban centers. While the presence of these officers is meant to have positive effects on students' behaviour and attitudes toward the rules of school and society, it is unclear if this is the case. This study examines the perceptions that teachers and staff have of School Resource Officers in their school environment, and what, if any, differences exist between school personnel's perceptions of SROs and other critical perceptions of police in school. Utilizing a mixed methods approach to data collection, this study examines the police-school relationship in two schools in a large urban area. This study could contribute to the field of education by adding to the scant body of literature currently existing on the topic of police in Canadian schools.

description: We have carried out a study of known clusters within the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) observed areas and have identified 431 Abell, 173 APM and 343 EDCC clusters. Precise redshifts, velocity dispersions and new centroids have been measured for the majority of these objects, and this information is used to study the completeness of these catalogues, the level of contamination from foreground and background structures along the cluster's line of sight, the space density of the clusters as a function of redshift, and their velocity dispersion distributions. We find that the Abell and EDCC catalogues are contaminated at the level of about 10 per cent, whereas the APM catalogue suffers only 5 per cent contamination. If we use the original catalogue centroids, the level of contamination rises to approximately 15 per cent for the Abell and EDCC catalogues, showing that the presence of foreground and background groups may alter the richness of clusters in these catalogues. There is a deficiency of clusters at z ∼ 0.05 that may correspond to a large underdensity in the Southern hemisphere. From the cumulative distribution of velocity dispersions for these clusters, we derive a space density of σ > 1000kms-1 clusters of 3.6 × 10-6 h3 Mpc-3. This result is used to constrain models for structure formation; our data favour low-density cosmologies, subject to the usual assumptions concerning the shape and normalization of the power spectrum.
The executive power of the diocesan bishop according to the 1983 Code of Canon Law

description: Canon 391, §1 of the 1983 Code distinguishes the power of governance of a diocesan bishop as legislative, executive and judicial. This threefold distinction is based on the division of powers in a secular system of governance. Although, in a democratic civil society, three independent organs exercise legislative, executive and judicial powers, such a division is not possible in the Church because of the nature and the purpose of its power. In the canonical tradition of the Church, the concepts of legislative and judicial powers have generally remained the same. However, the notion of executive power has been subject to progressive understanding, especially after the Second Vatican Council. The 1917 Code, in c. 335 stated that the bishop governs his diocese with legislative, judicial and coercive powers. The Second Vatican Council described it as right/duty of making laws, passing judgement and moderating. The seventh revision principle of the 1983 Code used the term "administrative" instead of "moderating." While the Code revision process had an inconsistent use of the terms "executive" and "administrative," the Code itself, in cc. 135, §1 and 391, §1 prefers the term "executive." Moreover, the Code also uses the expressions "administrative power" and "acts of administration." Some other documents related to the Code equate "executive power" with "administrative power." There is no consensus concerning these concepts in the post conciliar canonical literature. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the exact nature and scope of the executive power of a diocesan bishop in the Code. The first chapter of this study discusses the theological nature of the power of the diocesan bishop in the light of the Second Vatican Council. This provides the theological context within which the juridical nature of the diocesan bishop's power of governance is to be understood. The focus of the second chapter is on the nature and scope of executive power in general, and its juridic nature. Here, the study proves that the expression "administrative power" in the Code refers to "executive power" itself. "Acts of administration" in the Code are distinct from "administrative acts," and therefore, they are subject to distinct processes. With this clarification, the study provides a definition of executive power. After analysing the acts of executive power in general (the general and singular administrative acts), in the third chapter, the study makes an attempt in the final chapter to determine the acts of the diocesan bishop's executive power in the 1983 Code, and then draws some conclusions.

description: In 2014, 28.2 % of the total electrical energy has been generated from renewable energy sources within the European Union. In this context, wind turbines are of great importance. Especially in Germany, the number of these installations has continuously increased in the last years. Therefore, it is particularly important to have clear legal regulations for noise protection by wind turbines. Wind turbines with a height of more than 50 m are subject to licensing pursuant to the German Federal Immission Control Act. Assessment of noise immissions from wind turbines is carried out according to a General Administrative Provision to the Federal Immission Control Act, which is called ̮Technical Instructions on Noise Abatement - TA NoiseŁ. It describes the methods for the determination and the assessment of noise caused by industrial or commercial installations, including wind turbines. These regulations will be explained in detail. Moreover, the low-frequency noise immissions of wind turbines will be discussed and evaluated. Quelle: PROCEEDINGS of the 22nd International Congress on Acoustics

description: Pharmaceuticals such as antidepressants are designed to be bioactive at low concentrations. According to their mode of action, they can also influence non-target organisms due to the phylogenetic conservation of molecular targets. In addition to the pollution by environmental chemicals, the topic of microplastics (MP) in the aquatic environment came into the focus of scientific and public interest. The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of the antidepressant amitriptyline in the presence and absence of irregularly shaped polystyrene MP as well as the effects of MP alone on juvenile brown trout (Salmo trutta f. fario). Fish were exposed to different concentrations of amitriptyline (nominal concentrations between 1 and 1000 (micro)g/L) and two concentrations of MP (104 and 105 particles/L; <50 (micro)m) for three weeks. Tissue cortisol concentration, oxidative stress, and the activity of two carboxylesterases and of acetylcholinesterase were assessed. Furthermore, the swimming behavior was analyzed in situations with different stress levels. Exposure to amitriptyline altered the behavior and increased the activity of acetylcholinesterase. Moreover, nominal amitriptyline concentrations above 300 (micro)g/L caused severe acute adverse effects in fish. MP alone did not affect any of the investigated endpoints. Co-exposure caused largely similar effects such as the exposure to solely amitriptyline. However, the effect of amitriptyline on the swimming behavior during the experiment was alleviated by the higher MP concentration. © 2022 by the authors

description: The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) is designed to measure redshifts for approximately 250 000 galaxies. This paper describes the survey design, the spectroscopic observations, the redshift measurements and the survey data base. The 2dFGRS uses the 2dF multifibre spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope, which is capable of observing 400 objects simultaneously over a 2° diameter field. The source catalogue for the survey is a revised and extended version of the APM galaxy catalogue, and the targets are galaxies with extinction-corrected magnitudes brighter than bJ = 19.45. The main survey regions are two declination strips, one in the southern Galactic hemisphere spanning 8O° × 15° around the SGP, and the other in the northern Galactic hemisphere spanning 75° × 10° along the celestial equator; in addition, there are 99 fields spread over the southern Galactic capp The survey covers 2000 deg2 and has a median depth of z- = 0.11. Adaptive tiling is used to give a highly uniform sampling rate of 93 per cent over the whole survey region. Redshifts are measured from spectra covering 3600-8000 Å at a two-pixel resolution of 9.0 Å and a median S/N of 13 pixel-1. All redshift identifications are visually checked and assigned a quality parameter Q in the range 1-5; Q ≥ 3 redshifts are 98.4 per cent reliable and have an rms uncertainty of 85 km s-1. The overall redshift completeness for Q ≥ 3 redshifts is 91.8 per cent, but this varies with magnitude from 99 per cent for the brightest galaxies to 90 per cent for objects at the survey limit.
