Abstract:

Throughout history, people have made or acquired vessels from which to sip their favourite beverage. In the contemporary domestic setting, households frequently accumulate multiples of the same type of object in numbers that are considerably greater than is necessary and practical for use alone. Of these many objects there are often individual pieces that have special significance for the owner or user. Some are so valued that they may even be removed and set aside because of their perceived importance. The research was initiated by a previous study of tea drinking vessels coupled with a d

Abstract:

This thesis proposes a reconstruction and reconceptualisation of the cultural significance provisions of the Protection of Movable Cultural Heritage Act 1986 (Cth). It takes the form of a critical study of the role, function and legal effectiveness of these provisions, and proposes the development of new understanding of what is involved in the construction of cultural significance by law. This thesis is being carried out in both the conceptual and practical domain. However, it is neither a theoretical study nor an exercise in doctrinal exegesis on its own, but relies on both to undertake a

Abstract:

The desire for preserving a portion of this country's cultural resources has forced archaeologists and resource managers to make determinations about the relative significance of archaeological sites. Decisions are made regarding which sites are to be preserved and which must be dismissed in the name of progress. The first half of this thesis traces both the history and evolution of the significance concept, and briefly reviews some of the means and strategies archaeologists use in making significance evaluations in the face of continued economic development and a rapidly changing theoretic an

Noncovalent interactions are at the center of many biological and chemical processes. There has been a conscious effort in recent times to exploit these interactions in order to achieve specific targets. However, to fully unravel and exploit the potential of these weak interactions, it is necessary to understand their effects and efficacy in greater detail. Noncovalent interactions that have garnered maximum attention in terms of the ubiquity, bond-strength, and practical applications are those that are dominated by electrostatic contributions. Noncovalent interactions are defined to be the c

Abstract:

Work in this thesis has focused on identifying a biological role for the incidence of osteocyte apoptosis, the identity of osteocyte-derived resorption targeting signals and addresses the design of methods of blockade of the excess apoptosis observed during the use of glucocorticoids. An early event in the bone resorption process is the clearance of osteoblasts; hence I have studied the effects of osteocyte apoptotic bodies on osteoblastic cells. Apoptotic bodies derived from different cell types were also used to determine behavioural responses in osteoblast and other potential target cells.

Debate concerning the relationship between ethics and aesthetics has re-emerged in contemporary aesthetic literature. All of the major contemporary positions, I argue, treat this relationship as existing between the "moral value" of art and its aesthetic value. Throughout this thesis I analyse the various "value- based" positions (ethicism, moderate moralism, and contextualism) and examine whether their accounts of this relationship hold. My aim is to explore whether an alternative account - in which the aesthetic value of art can be enhanced or negated through its "moral significance", rather

We propose a prototype model of market dynamics in which all functional relationships are linear.

Given the linear specification, the borders are the only source for the emerging of cyclical and more complex dynamics. In particular, we discuss centre bifurcations, border collision bifurcations and degenerate flip bifurcations - dynamic phenomena the occurrence

With too much light absorbed, a dangerous side reaction of photosynthesis, the production of reactive oxygen species can happen.

This thesis is, in part, a defence of a broad-based approach to epistemology. We should be wary of taking too narrow a focus and thus neglecting important aspects of knowledge. If we are too focused on one methodology then we are likely to miss insights that can come about from a different perspective. With this in mind, I investigate two particular methodologies in detail: Kornblith’s naturalism and Craig’s ‘genealogical’ approach. Kornblith emphasises the importance of looking at knowledge in the context of the natural world, thus stressing the continuity between animal and human knowledge.

Plumage polymorphism is displayed in a number of diverse species and therefore, is presumed to have evolved independently on multiple occasions. To date, no study has established whether any of the hypotheses proposed to explain its evolution in single species are relevant across all avian taxa.
