Full textAbstract:
The petrology of the Sutherland Commonage olivine melilitite intrusives have been investigated using petrographic and chemical methods. The occurrence consists of a ring dyke which surrounds a centrally located sill complex. The rock of the ring dyke is a typical melilitite which consists of olivine in a groundmass of melilite, clinopyroxene, opaque spinel, nepheline and perovskite. The sill complex is a multiple intrusion and is comprised of a lower green melilitite and an overlying (and younger) grey melilitite. The green melilitite is deuterically altered and the original mineralogy is destroyed to a large extent. The grey melilitite contains autoliths of the green and is a fairly typical monticellitic melilitite in which phenocrysts of olivine are set in a groundmass of melilite, monticellite, opaque spine!, nepheline and perovskite. Microprobe analyses of clinopyroxenes indicate that they are aluminous titanian diopsides and salites which exhibit complex zonation patterns. They record magmatic conditions ranging from the intrusive stage to a final phase of magmatic evolution during which a vapour phase evolved after the majority of the groundmass minerals had crystallised. The chemistry of olivine phenocrysts suggests that the parent magma to the Commonage intrusives accumulated in a temperature-zoned reservoir at the base of the lithosphere. Large, unzoned olivine phenocrysts crystallised in this chamber. Subsequent rupture of the chamber and ascent of magma led to supercooling and the crystallisation of abundant, strongly zoned phenocrysts of smaller size. Olivine crystallisation continued until the magma reached crustal levels. It is inferred from the chemistry of chromites and magnetites that the magma in the ring dyke was more evolved than those in the sill complex and that very oxidising conditions prevailed in the grey melilitite during the crystallisation of magnetite in this intrusive type. The high fO₂ may have resulted from the degassing of CO₂ after intrusion. Major and trace elements have been analysed for in eleven whole rock samples and the ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratio was determined for seven of the same samples. The results of the geochemical study suggest that the Commonage melilitites were derived by the melting of a recently metasomatised region of the asthenosphere, probably under the influence of an ocean-island-type hotspot situated in the lower mantle.

Full textAbstract:
The focus of this dissertation is to analyse the balance between interpretative and vocal ability in bel canto opera, which is traditionally considered as the principal domain of the Stimmediva. The dissertation includes a survey of the characteristics of bel canto, Bellini’s contribution to it and the performance history of his opera Norma. Furthermore, it investigates the German differentiation between Kunstdiva and Stimmediva as exemplified by two major sopranos of the twentieth century,
Maria Callas and Joan Sutherland. Callas’s performance of Norma is universally recognised as a watershed in the performance history of this role, and Sutherland is widely regarded as her most important immediate successor. Their distinct approaches to the scena from Act 1 of Norma are contrasted and compared. Three respondents were asked to evaluate recordings of this scena by
these two artists with regard to style, technique and interpretation. Their responses are presented in table format, and a discussion of the insights that emerge from these form the final part of the dissertation. The conclusion notes the primacy of interpretative ability in the appreciation of vocal performance even within the bel canto style, but argues for a complete integration of dramatic and vocal skills in order to arrive at the ideal interpretation. Key words: Bel canto; Bellini; Callas; Casta diva; Fine al rito, e il sacro bosco…Ah! bello a meritorna; Kunstdiva; Norma; Scena; Sediziose voci; Stimmediva; Sutherland

Full textAbstract:
Geometrically frustrated magnetism arises when the competing interactions are incompatible with the geometry of the lattice. This leads to a large ground state degeneracy and the system typically has difficulty establishing a unique ground state, often giving rise complex intermediate magnetic phases and other unusual phenomena. Recently the rare-earth tetraborides, RB4, family of compounds has garnered attention as it is a rare experimental realisation of the frustrated Shastry-Sutherland lattice. Here the R3+ ions form a network of squares and triangles which is topologically equivalent to the Shastry-Sutherland lattice. The competing interactions leads to a rich variety of magnetic phase in the RB4 family in both zero and applied magnetic field. An investigation into two members of the RB4 family, HoB4 and NdB4 is presented in this thesis. Both compounds show successive magnetic phase transitions, where HoB4 orders with an incommensurate magnetic state at 7.1 K and orders with a non-collinear antiferromagnetic structure at 5.7 K, as well as magnetisation plateaux with fractional values of the saturation magnetisation of 1/6,1/3 and 5/3. NdB4 orders at 17 K with a non-collinear antiferromagnetic structure followed by two distinct incommensurate structures at 7 K and 4.9 K. NdB4 shows a single magnetisation plateau at 1/5 the saturation magnetisation. Bulk property measurements of magnetisation, magnetic susceptibility, resistivity and heat capacity were used to maps out and construct the complex phase diagrams of HoB4 and NdB4 with measurements down to 0.5 K and magnetic fields up to 500 kOe. HoB4 shows six distinct magnetic phases, while NdB4 has five The stabilised magnetic phases were determined in zero field using single crystal neutron diffraction measurements utilising both polarised and un-polarised measurements. While the un-polarised neutron measurements were extended to investigate the magnetic structures of the field-induced magnetic structure in both HoB4 and NdB4. Finally inelastic neutron scattering measurements on polycrystalline samples were used to map out the crystal field scheme in HoB4 and NdB4. Single crystal samples were used to investigated the low temperature magnetic excitations in HoB4. The initial analysis of the inelastic neutron studies is presented. Overall, both HoB4 and NdB4 exhibit a variety of magnetic phenomena, and their magnetic properties contribute to the understanding of the physics of the RB4 family of compounds.

Full textAbstract:
The applications of multispectral and morphometric image analysis to soil thin section descriptions is examined. It is shown that unsupervised classification and contrast stretching can be used to enhance and label features of interest. Morphometric measurements, allow the shape and abundance of features in thin sections to be compared and statistical relationships established. This method of analysis offers a precision beyond that which is possible using a qualitative approach. Using soil micromorphology as the main analytical technique a case study was carried out to evaluate the applicability of image analysis to an investigation of an archaeological site at Lairg in northern Scotland. The interactions of anthropogenic activity and pedogenesis since the Bronze Age is examined. The condition of the soils prior to the Bronze Age is not known because no buried soils predated this period. Evidence suggests that in freely draining situations complete podzols might have formed by this time. During the Bronze and Iron Age intensive cultivation of soils occurred with associated erosion. In areas of the site, where human activity is dated to the Post Medieval period, deepening of A horizons is apparent and the soils are maintained as Brown Podzols. In many areas where human activity stops stagnopodzols are the dominant soil type. The potential of image analysis to aid soil micromorphological descriptions is demonstrated. Contrast stretching aided a qualitative subdivision of thin section slides during the case study. Morphometric analysis confirmed a relationship between shape of voids and c/f ratios in an Iron Age buried A horizon, A PM buried A horizon and an undated deep topsoil. It is concluded that the full benefits of image analysis, when used as a routine tool to aid thin section descriptions, will only be realised when procedures become more interactive and processes can be speeded up.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis deals with a conformal field theoretical treatment of abelian anyons in (1 + 1)-dimensions and their relation to the integrable Calogero-Sutherland models. We generalize previous work relating anyons to the Calogero-Sutherland model by showing that the correlation function of the anyon field operators corresponds to the eigenfunctions of the deformed Calogero-Sutherland model. Our results suggest a physical application of the deformed Calogero-Sutherland model in the context of the fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE). A key aspect for this work is the introduction of the dual anyon field operators, which obey a natural generalization of the canonical anti-commutation relation.

Full textAbstract:
<p> It is known that for a topologically ordered state the area law for the entanglement entropy shows a negative universal additive constant contribution, –γ, called the topological entanglement entropy. We theoretically study the entanglement entropy of the two-dimensional Shastry-Sutherland quantum antiferromagnet using exact diagonalization on clusters of 16 and 24 spins. By utilizing the Kitaev-Preskill construction, we extract a finite topological term, –γ , in the region of bond-strength parameter space corresponding to high geometrical frustration. Thus, we provide strong evidence for the existence of an exotic topologically ordered state and shed light on the nature of this model's strongly frustrated, and long controversial, intermediate phase.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Water electrolysis is one of the first methods used to generate hydrogen and is thus not considered to be a new technology. With advances in proton exchange membrane technology and the global tendency to implement renewable energy, the technology of water electrolysis by implementation of proton exchange membrane as solid electrolyte has developed into a major field of research over the last decade. To gain an understanding of different components of the electrolyser it is best to conduct a performance analysis based on hydrogen production rates and polarisation curves. The study aim was to compare the technologies of membrane electrode assembly with gas diffusion electrode and the proton exchange membranes of Nafion® and polybenzimidazole in a commercial water electrolyser. To determine which of the components are best suited for the process a laboratory scale electrolyser was to be used to replicate the commercially scaled performance. The effect of feed water contaminants on electrolyser performance was also investigated by introducing iron and magnesium salt solutions and aqueous methanol solutions in the feed reservoir. Components to be tested included different PEM types as well as the base component on which the electrocatalyst layer is applied. The proton exchange membranes compared were standard Nafion® N117 and polybenzimidazole meta-sulfone sulfonated polyphenyl sulfone (PBI-sPSU). A laboratory scale electrolyser from Giner Electrochemical Systems was utilised where different components were tested and compared with one another. Experimental results with commercial membrane electrode assemblies and gas diffusion electrodes demonstrated the influence of temperature on electrolyser performance for the proton exchange membranes, where energy efficiency increased with temperature. The effect of pressure was insignificant over the selected pressure range. Comparison of membrane electrode assembly and gas diffusion electrode technologies showed enhanced performance from MEA technology, this was most likely due to superior electrocatalyst contact with the PEM. Results of synthesised Nafion® N117 and PBI-sPSU MEA showed increased performance for PBI-sPSU, but it was found to be more susceptible to damage under severe conditions. The effect of metal cations in the supply reservoir exhibited reduced energy efficiencies and increased specific energy consumption for the test duration. Treatment with sulphuric acid was found to partially restore membrane electrode assembly performance, though it is believed that permanent damage was inflicted on the membrane electrode assembly electrocatalyst. Use of aqueous methanol solutions were found to increase electrolyser performance. It was also found that aqueous methanol electrolysis occurs at lower current densities, whereas a combination of aqueous methanol and water electrolysis occurred at higher current densities depending on the concentration of methanol.<br>Thesis (MIng (Chemical Engineering))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013.

Dans cet ouvrage, on présente une généralisation des polynômes symétriques de Jack, les superpolynômes de Jack N = 2, et on discute de ses connections avec le modèle Calogero-Moser-Sutherland trigonométrique (tCMS) supersymétrique N = 2.

Ultimement, on pose une première définition des superpolynômes de Jack N = 2. On montre alors que ceux-ci sont les fonctions propres du modèle tCMS N = 2 et de ses quantités conservées.

We first briefly review the theory of symmetric polynomials that leads us to three different definitions of the symmetric Jack polynomials: a combinatorial definition, the Jack polynomial as the eigenfunction of the tCMS model and as the result of the symmetrization of the non-symmetric Jack polynomial. We then do a brief introduction to the theory of symmetric superpolynomials. We also define the symmetric Jack superpolynomials using the superextension of the three aforementioned characterizations. After this introduction, we get to the main matter by defining the symmetric N = 2 superpolynomials. This ultimately results in a definition of the N = 2 Jack superpolynomial. We construct a N = 2 superextension of the tCMS model and find its conserved quantities. The N = 2 Jack superpolynomials are found to be the eigenfunctions of this model. As an auxiliary result, we obtain a conjecture regarding a combinatorial definition of these superpolynomials.

Thesis (MComm (Business Management))--University of Stellenbosch, 2005.<br>Tulips are the second largest floral commodity that is traded globally. Currently
Holland controls half of the 20 billion Dollar tulip bulb market, although immense
pressure from European institutions may serve to change this phenomenon in
the near future. Not only do increasing labour costs and stricter legislation on the
usage of pesticides impair this industry, but the Dutch government also places
huge pressure on its own producers to convert scarce agricultural land into
residential areas. These conditions could therefore provide a possible market
opportunity for farmers from other countries.
Due too the fact that the price of tulip bulbs is based on the size of the flower and
the length of the floral stem, floral farmers generally gain an extra 2-3 cm stem
length via physically cutting it out of the tulip bulb. Therefore, floral farmers
annually destroy their whole supply of tulip bulbs, resulting in a need to reacquire
bulbs from bulb growers. Due to the fact that the lifespan of cut tulip
flowers is generally not more than seven days, Dutch land rezoning ought to
result in tulip bulb production being the production component which could truly
be relocated in a global context. In this study, an economic analysis is therefore
conducted to ascertain South Africa’s potential to produce tulip bulbs in order to
supply the growing demand in the Netherlands.
Information was gathered by performing a literature study of existing literature
and by conducting structured interviews with numerous experts in their various
fields of operation. Due to the fact that expertise in South Africa was very limited,
a large number of interviews were scheduled with experts from Holland and
Germany. The presence of strict non-disclosure contracts resulted in a situation
where interviews had to be conducted with individuals who are two to three levels
removed from any relevant tulip organisation. The study was conducted through first analysing the global market from a
horticultural perspective and thereafter from an economic-logistical stance. It
was established that tulip bulbs are very temperature sensitive and therefore
have to be produced far from any tropical zones. Since Sutherland’s winter
temperature is similar to that of Dutch production areas, South African tulip bulbs
could be planted in Holland. The difference in seasons of production allows
farmers from the Southern Hemisphere to predict the extremely fashion sensitive
market in one year less. Via moving production activities between alternative
hemispheres, off seasons can be utilized for production, which could result in
fashions being predicted with a greater sense of accuracy.
If unfashionable bulbs are produced, a loss of up to R 34 129,87 per ha can be
incurred, while mid-priced bulbs and fashionable bulbs can earn respectively
R80 118,09 and R 122 626,57 per ha. Projections are however based on the
prices of a bear phase where the market currently pays up to 75% less for bulbs
than it did three years ago.
The production costs in Sutherland could be cut by R 15 750 if it is decided to
mechanise production but simultaneously this action will result in an increase of
R120 000 in new capital equipment required. The use of 40 feet High Cube
Reefers reduces transportation costs considerably and 1 042 437 bulbs with a
circumference of between 10 and 12 cm can be shipped in such an container via
utilizing South African produced SN 64190 crates and four way export pallets.
Market penetration remains an important consideration since a farmer’s
production history is very important in the international market environment.
Partnerships, production of larger bulbs, organic production and seasonal
production in alternating hemispheres, remain some of the most suitable
techniques for market penetration.

Full textAbstract:
The Sutherland estate in the north of Scotland was one of the most famous, or infamous, of all Highland estates. Despite its high profile, only limited use has been made of the principal source for its study: the huge collection of estate records deposited in the National Library of Scotland and Staffordshire County Record Office. Historians of late nineteenth century Highland history have instead tended to rely on newspaper and other published accounts. The present study tries to set the Sutherland estate into its Highland context, politically, financially and organisationally. Of course, the ducal family’s vast fortune, independent from the Sutherland estate, sets them apart from most other Highland landowners and allowed for a more experimental approach in addressing the ‘Highland Problem.’ One of these capital-intensive projects, the great land reclamations of the 1870s, is examined in the present study. By looking at the papers of the Cromartie, Macdonald and Sinclair of Ulbster estate papers, the present study can demonstrate that this capital expenditure was highly unusual in a Highland context and tries to address its consequences. This thesis looks at the ranked series of relationships that made the estate function; that between the crofters and the estate, and that between the members of the estate management itself. It has been found that in many cases over the whole period under study, these relationships were fraught with difficulty and disagreement, exacerbated by the turmoil of the Crofters War of the 1880s and continuing land reform in the following decades. The commonly held contemporary view that the Sutherland estate was powerful and monolithic is an essentially false one. The central narrative charted in this thesis is one of decline, like that of many other Highland estates; financially, politically, territorially and as a result, in the estate’s once iron grip over the Sutherland crofters.

The method is applicable to a large class of exactlysolvable systems of Calogero-Moser-Sutherland type, as well as integrable generalizationsthereof. It is known that the Schrodinger operators with ellipticpotentials have special limiting cases with exact eigenfunctions given by orthogonalpolynomials. These special cases are discussed in greater detail inorder to explain the kernel function methods with particular focus on the Jacobipolynomials and Jack polynomials.<br><p>QC 20161003</p>

Full textAbstract:
This thesis argues that as historians of English-Canadian poetry, A. J. M. Smith, John Sutherland, Northrop Frye, and Desmond Pacey explicitly promote the value of past conflict reconciled into present harmony. They do so by claiming that such reconciliation marks the maturity of English-Canadian culture. This thesis also argues, however, that the interactive progression of their histories implicitly undermines this value. It does so because each critic appreciates a different group of poets for realizing their shared cultural ideal, thereby establishing contradictory representations of what they all claim to be the culmination of English-Canadian literary history. The thesis concludes that while their lingering sense of present cultural maturity should now be fully renounced, the value these critics place on reconciliation is well worth preserving and transforming.

Full textAbstract:
Keston Sutherland says of his own poems that they ‘are not so difficult to understand as they are difficult to accept’. This thesis aims to dispel the myth that Sutherland is a difficult poet, both in terms of understanding and acceptance. It begins with a sketch of two traditions in British poetry since 1945, “The Mainstream” and “The Parallel Tradition”, illustrated by analysis of poems by Philip Larkin, Basil Bunting, Edwin Morgan, Linton Kwesi Johnson, and J.H. Prynne. A critical biography traces Sutherland’s evolution from his abrasive earlier works, where the poetic is distant, to the justified prose blocks that characterise his latter work, where at least the possibility of the poetic has returned. All against a backdrop of the broader trends in British poetry and the political situation in the UK from 1999 onwards. Two concepts, drawn from his own lectures, are then traced in his poetry: “odes” and “affect storms”. He identifies the ode as a uniquely effective form for writing innovative social satire. Sutherland’s The Odes to TL61P (2013) is measured against Wordsworth’s demands on poetry to create unfamiliar sensations and discover new modes of thought in order to subvert hierarchical social relations, commodity festishism, and the banality of public discourse. The thesis culminates in an analysis of his use of a psychoanalytic concept, the “affect storm”, as a metaphor for the incomprehensible elements of contemporary poetry and his creation of a language capable of giving voice to the inexpressible in his latest poem Scherzos Benyjosos (2020).

Full textAbstract:
This project has come about because of the need for Australian saxophonists to develop an awareness of saxophone history and culture in their own country. Dulcie Holland, William Lovelock and Margaret Sutherland were artists who were active and influential in the areas of performance, composition and pedagogy, helping to create and promote the musical arts in Australia during the first half of the twentieth century. The high regard in which they are held should be evidence enough that their works for saxophone must be performed by their fellow Australians as a part of a well rounded, international exposure to the very best repertoire available. Saxophonists in Australia will be able to place themselves in a relevant world context only when they are fully aware of the heritage their instrument has in their own country. The present editions (created using the type-setting software Sibelius 4) seek to make performance considerably easier by eliminating the need to use the composer's autograph manuscripts, which are sometimes difficult to read and understand, due to poor hand-copying or repeated photocopying which has subsequently made some pages illegible. The accompanying performance guides are designed as introductions, the first step for the young student wishing to tackle these national treasures.

Margaret Ada Sutherland (1897-1984) is respected as one of the leading musicians in Australia in the twentieth century. She is widely recognised as having made significant contributions to the development of Australian musical composition and contemporary creative life. While a significant body of scholarly work has been completed on Sutherland and while it is varied in scope and purpose, to date, no study has been undertaken with a strong focus on the identification and examination of primary sources relating to Sutherland. Research on Sutherland and her creative life has been consistently hampered by problems such as numerous lacunae in the composer???s corpus of works and the transmission of errors from one study to the next. It is the thesis of this study that these problems can be addressed by a reevaluation of all previously-used primary documents as well as the study of newlyfound primary source material: returning to primary sources has uncovered a considerable amount of material, both by and about the composer, which has remained previously unexplored. In order to address omissions in Sutherland???s work list, the starting point for the current study is the compilation of a thorough catalogue of works which incorporates all known compositions by Sutherland. This catalogue is derived from the collation of comprehensive primary source material. Further to this, the close examination of extensive primary sources relating to Sutherland???s life and music provides insights into aspects of the contemporary musical network in which she worked and also into the particular problems she encountered as a female composer in a geographically isolated country. The diversity of her achievements is also illuminated. The resources used in this thesis provide the material which will enhance, augment, and sometimes offer new perspectives relating to the current understanding of Sutherland???s creative life. Thus, Sutherland???s contribution to Australian music can be more deeply understood.

Full textAbstract:
The Saltpeterkop Carbonatite Complex is a Late Cretaceous (≈76 Ma) volcanic and shallow intrusive magmatic feature located approximately 20 km southeast of Sutherland in the Northern Cape. It is unusual among southern African carbonatite complexes in that it has not been deeply eroded, and retains a significant vestige of its original volcanic features. The main geologic expression of the Complex is a ≈1.5 km diameter tuff ring, located on top of prominently updomed and fractured Beaufort Group (Karoo) sediments, that appears to have formed as the result of a major diatreme-type eruption. The volcaniclastic breccias making up the tuff ring have been heavily altered and silicified by hydrothermal activity, and thick (mm to tens of cm) Fe oxide-rich crusts, which appear to represent the alteration products of Fe-rich carbonatites, are common in this area. Outside of the central ring structure are numerous shallow intrusions (dykes, sills and irregular shapes), satellite breccia pipes and pipe-shaped intrusions that host fresh to only moderately altered igneous rocks. The main igneous rock types include (in decreasing order of abundance): carbonatite, potassic trachyte, olivine melilitite and ultramafic lamprophyre. This thesis provides the first detailed petrographic and geochemical description of these rocks (e.g., major and trace elements) and attempts to explain several aspects of their petrogenesis. The olivine melilitites and ultramafic lamprophyres are the most primitive igneous rocks in the complex and have experienced only minor to moderate extents of differentiation, respectively. They apppear to have been derived by low-degrees of partial melting of a carbonated, likely phlogopite-bearing mantle source. The lamprophyres appear to have been derived by melting at shallower depths than the melilitites based on REE constraints. The carbonatites range from relatively primitive to highly differentiated and they form a nearly continuous compositional range with the ultramafic lamprophyres and melilitites. This seems to argue against a major role for liquid immiscibility in their origin. Their REE content (up to 2 wt.% total REE oxides) correlates with their extent of differentiation. The potassic trachytes are plausibly linked to melts of mafic lower continental crust that has been metasomatised by hydrous potassium-rich carbonatitic melts and which have experienced significant fractional crystallization and assimilation of upper crustal sedimentary rocks during emplacement.

Full textAbstract:
The Assynt District on the North West Highlands of Scotland is composed of a thrusted sequence of Cambrian limestones and quartzites, originally unconformably laid down on Archaean Lewisian gneisses and Pre-Cambrian Torridonian arkoses. Igneous activity associated with the development of the Caldedonian orogeny occurs as a series of genetically related hornblende ± pyroxene lamprophyre sills. High level fractionation of the lamprophyric magmas has resulted in the development of a suite of tinguaitic, peralkaline, oversaturated, aegirine felsites which cut the earlier lamprophyric intrusions. Plutonic activity occurs in the Assynt District, as an early syenitic intrusion at Loch Ailsh dated at 439 ± 24 my and a late, in part ultrapotassic, carbonatite bearing, undersaturated intrusion at Loch Borralan, intruded after thrusting activity had ceased at 430 ± 4 my. The lamprophyric intrusions are relatively primitive magmas having high MgO and Ni, Cr abundances, they are enriched in light rare earths. Their trace element chemistry shows that they are derived from a lithospheric mantle, metasomatically enriched with incompatible elements and volatiles from subducted crust. Textural study shows that the primitive magmas were probably intruded as a volatile rich suspension of mafic phenocrysts. Subsequent evolution initially by the fractionation of amphibole pyroxene and plagioclase has resulted in the formation of a suite of increasingly silicic andesitic to rhyolitic sills. The later stages of evolution were due to the metasomatic effects of a volatile phase. The simultaneous removal of hornblende and plagioclase has resulted in the formation of oversaturated peralkaline felsites without the REE patterns normally associated with evolved felsitic rocks. Thrusting activity has resulted in the apparent close association between the lamprophyric/felsitic sill swarm and the loch Borralan intrusion. Pre thrusting reconstruction of the Assynt district show that the sills were intruded at least 30km to the south west and are not genetically related to the Loch Borralan intrusion.

Full textAbstract:
Presented here are major and trace element, stable (oxygen and hydrogen) and radiogenic (Sr-Nd-Pb) isotope analyses for a Cr-poor megacryst suite from the Salpeterkop complex, South Africa. The clinopyroxene, amphibole, phlogopite and ilmenite megacrysts all appear to be cogenetic, and based on known mineral relationships and intergrowths from xenoliths in the complex, the apparent order of mineral crystallisation is as follows: phlogopite → ilmenite → amphibole → clinopyroxene. Megacrysts of amphibole and phlogopite exhibit δD and δ18O values that are aligned with these grains having crystallised from melt originating from the upper mantle. Additionally, the amphibole and phlogopite megacrysts appear have experienced dehydration styled degassing, possibly related to their exhumation. Calculated P-T conditions have the megacrysts crystallising in the lower crust, under conditions ranging from 1 to 1.5 GPa (35 to 45 km depth) and 1000 to 1250 ℃. Calculated REE melts in equilibrium with the megacryst as well as radiogenic isotope results suggest that the Salpeterkop ultramafic lamprophyres are genetically related the the SPKC megacryst suite, however, the calculated parent melt to the megacryst appears to have mixed with a HIMU component. These findings primarily affect higher Mg-number megacrysts, suggesting that this assimilation or mixing occurred during initial stages of crystallisation. Lower Mg-number megacrysts lack the variations noted in their more primitive counterparts and present more tightly defined trends. A model of formation for the megacryst suite of the Salpeterkop complex sees grains having crystallised from an SPKC ultramafic lamprophyre-like melt originating from sublithospheric/asthenospheric conditions. During ascension the melt episodically assimilates material with a HIMU signature. The high Mg-number megacryst population crystallises from this melt at lower crustal depths. Soon after assimilation halts the megacryst parent melt homogenises (or re-homogenises), with grains to crystallise from this melt forming the low-Mg megacryst population.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis deals with the following question: are there more eigenfunctions, other than the already known eigenfunctions, of the spin chain with elliptic interactions known as the Inozemtsev spin chain? The Inozemtsev spin chain interpolates between two quantum integrable spin chains, theHeisenberg spin chain and the Haldane-Shastry spin chain. Therefore it is interesting to explore eigenfunctions of the Inozemtsev spin chain in greater detail. Moreover, there exists connections between spin chains and their corresponding spinless continuum model, namely theCalogero-Sutherland models; a derivation of the connection between the Haldane-Shastry spin chain and the trigonometric interacting Calogero-Sutherland model is presented in this thesis. These connections state that the eigenfunctions of the Calogero-Sutherland model are also eigenfunctionsof the corresponding spin chain. An established connection between the Inozemtsev spin chain and the elliptic interacting Calogero-Sutherland model yields exact eigenfunctions with simple poles at coinciding arguments of the Inozemtsev spin chain. However, there are eigenfunctions of theelliptic Calogero-Sutherland model with second order zeros instead of simple poles at coinciding arguments. It is therefore interesting to see if a connection exists that relates the eigenfunctions of the elliptic Calogero-Sutherland model with second order zeros to eigenfunctionsof the Inozemtsev spin chain also with second order zeros. The main goal of this thesis is to explore eigenfunctions of the Inozemtsev spin chain with second order zeros for two magnons. This thesis uses analytical methods for finding these eigenfunctions and numerical methods have beenresorted to in the end. The numerical results indicate that the functions explored in this thesis fail to parametrise the eigenfunctions of the Inozemtsev spin chain, except for a few special cases.<br>Den här avhandlingen behandlar följande frågeställning: finns det fler egenfunktioner än de redan kända till spinnkedjan med elliptisk växelverkan känd som Inozemtsevs spinnkedja? Inozemtsevs spinnkedja interpolerar mellan Heisenbergs spinnkedja och Haldane-Shastrys spinnkedja som båda ärkvant-integrerbara. Därför är det intressant att vidare utforska egenfunktionerna hos Inozemtsevs spinnkedja. Det finns kopplingar mellan spinnkedjor och spinnfria en-dimensionella kontinuumsystem, nämligen Calogero-Sutherlands system; en sådan koppling mellan Haldane-Shastrysspinnkedja och Calogero-Sutherlands modell med trigonometrisk växelverkan härleds i denna avhandling. Dessa kopplingar konstaterar att egenfunktionerna för Calogero-Sutherland systemet är egenfunktioner för spinnkedjan också. En koppling existerar mellan Calogero-Sutherland modellen med elliptisk växelverkan och Inozemtsevs spinnkedja vilket ger exakta egenfunktioner hos Inozemtsevs modell med enkla poler vid sammanfallande argument. Däremot existerar det egenfunktioner till Calogero-Sutherland modellen med elliptisk växelverkan med andra ordningens nollor vid sammanfallande argument istället för enkla poler. Det är därför intressant att undersöka om det existerar en koppling mellan dessa två system med egenfunktioner med andra ordningens nollor; det här skulle då ge exakta egenfunktioner till Inozemtsevs spinnkedja med andra ordningens nollor. Detta är huvudsyftet med avhandlingen. Egenfunktioner med andra ordningens nollor för två magnoner undersöks. Avhandlingen använder sig av analytisk metod och har prövats med numeriska metoder. De numeriska resultaten indikerar att de undersökta funktionerna i denna avhandling misslyckas med att parametrisera egenfunktionerna till Inozemtsevs spinnkedja förutom vissa specifika fall.

Le portrait, c'est toujours l'histoire de deux personnes, celle de l'artiste et celle du modele. Le tableau est la resultante de leurs relations. Mais, si ce genre pictural recouvre necessairement des oeuvres subjectives, le peintre peut-il transgresser la regle fondamentale qu'est la ressemblance ? et comment se demarquentils alors de la photographie et de la video ? au-dela, on peut s' interroger sur la vision du monde du portraitiste mediatisee par ses relations avec son modele. C'est par le biais de ces trois parametres - modele, ressemblance et passage du particulier au general - que sont etudiees les oeuvres de quatre grands portraitistes britanniques graham sutherland, francis bacon, lucian freud et david hockney realisees entre 1960 et 1980. Graham sutherland qui se situe dans la grande lignee du portrait anglais ; francis bacon qui annule presque totalement son modele en tant que personne ; lucian freud qui soumet ses modeles a un examen quasi clinique ; david hockney expert en illusions visuelles et en manipulations savantes. Dans leur diversite, ces artistes temoignent de la modification de la nature et de la fonction meme du portrait dans une societe saturee d'images et de moins en moins insulaire. Contre toute attente, le portrait est aujourd'hui un genre florissant, tout particulierement en grande-bretagne<br>To portray is to tell the story of two persons : that of the artist and that of the sitter. A painting expresses the relationships between the two. Yet, even if subjectivity is necessarily underlying this kind of work, can the painter transgress its basic rule : likeness ? and what can his work be with photography and video competing with him ? moreover, what can the painter's vision of the world be at a time when the mass media interfer everywhere ? keeping un mind these three points, here is a study of the works of four british portrait-painters : graham sutherland, francis bacon, lucian freud and david hockney between 1960 and 1980. Their works, though deeply different, testify the basic change of meaning and function of portraiture in a society invaded by images produced by different countries and cultures. Surprisingly, portrait painting, nowadays, is expanding, particularly in great-britain

Full textAbstract:
Upland peat catchments are usually assumed to function as carbon sinks, however, there have been extensive studies witnessing increasing trends in concentrations and fluxes of organic carbon in UK rivers over the last few decades. A number of controls on dissolved organic carbon (DOC) release from peatlands, such as climatic changes and landuse management, have been proposed. This study examines the effects of land use and management on organic carbon exports in the Dyke catchment of the River Halladale (northern Scotland) with a nested catchment approach. This study provides insight into the processes controlling the DOC dynamics in the Dyke catchment, and the impact of disturbance caused by landuse changes such as afforestation and tree felling for restoration. The results from factor analysis, end-member mixing, absorbance (E4/E6), and hysteresis analyses on stream water chemistry from individual sub-catchments identified the major hydrological pathways during storm events, and based on these results, conceptual models were developed to explain DOC evolution during storm events. At all the sites studied, nearsurface soil water was identified as the major controlling end-member for stream DOC concentrations. The calculated annual flux of DOC from the Dyke catchment, up-scaled from the results of the individual sub-catchments, is 521.6 kg C ha-1 yr-1, which is significantly (~5 times) higher than the previously published value (103.4 kg C ha-1 yr-1) for the River Halladale catchment (Hope et al., 1997). In this study, it is shown that about 57 - 95% of the DOC export occur during 5 - 10% of the high flows, therefore, it is crucial that quantitative records of DOC export are developed using high frequency storm event measurements, as well as lower frequency low flow sampling. Climatic changes related to precipitation, temperature, coupled with water yield capacity of the sub-catchments, are identified as significant controls on DOC fluxes, rather than landuse change, as the intact site releases more organic carbon per unit area compared to the disturbed and re-wetted site undergoing restoration. In addition, the results from this study provide landowners, policy makers and organisations with the evidence they require for initiating future peatland restoration works, as felling of forestry coupled with drain-blocking is shown to be an effective restoration technique that may help a catchment to eventually return to a near-pristine state.

Full textAbstract:
To support the potential development of an AO system for SALT, a site monitoring campaign of the Sutherland site was initiated in 2010. This campaign also led to the participation in the development of a new instrument to characterize the atmospheric turbulence. The results from five years of site testing were used in AO simulations in order to demonstrate the potential capabilities of an AO system on SALT. The site testing study produced up-to-date seeing values and provided a measurement of the atmospheric turbulence profiles. I found a median seeing value of 1.51". The main contributor to the turbulence is clearly the ground layer, below 1 km, responsible for 83% of the turbulence. The next most significant contributor is the wind shear layer around 3 km. Seasonal trends show that slightly worse seeing conditions occur during the winter months due to predominant East, South-easterly winds that are associated with degraded seeing conditions. In addition to the main site testing campaign, I helped develop the "Profileur de Bord Lunaire" (PBL, Profiler of Moon limb in English), a new instrument that uses the Moon limb to measure the atmospheric turbulence profile. The work on the data processing and inversion method led to the extraction of high altitude-resolution profiles of the turbulence strength. I present here those results along with a comparison with profiles obtained with the Multi-Aperture Scintillation Sensor (MASS). Using the results from the site testing campaign along with the SALT optical design, I simulated the general dimensioning of a system for SALT that would use a single natural guide star (NGS). The trade-off between performances and sky coverage resulted in a 34x34 system using NGS in the range 10 to 14 magnitude in R-band. The 34x34 dimensions refer to the number of subapertures of the Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor. I conclude with the significant improvement in spectroscopic performance for SALT that could be achieved by implementing an AO system. The gains in encircled/enslited energy are most significant in the near infrared where gains of 183% could be achieved at 1600 nm for the planned Near-infrared upgrade to the Robert Stobie Spectrograph (RSS). The gains in enslited and encircled energy at 700 nm for the visible arm of RSS and the High-Resolution Spectrograph (HRS) are limited to a maximum of 22% and 34%, respectively, due to the large apertures adapted to seeing-limited observations. Further gains could be achieved by designing the next generation of SALT instrumentation to take full advantage of an AO system.

Full textAbstract:
This is the first such study of Operation Banner: taking three Battalions as case studies, drawing upon extensive interviews with former soldiers, primary archival sources including unpublished diaries, this thesis closely examines soldiers' behaviour at the small infantry-unit level (Battalion downwards), including the leadership, cohesion, orientation and motivation that sustained, restrained and occasionally obstructed soldiers in Northern Ireland. It contends that there are aspects of wider scholarly literatures - from sociology, anthropology, criminology, and psychology - that can throw new light on our understanding of the British Army in Northern Ireland. The thesis will also contribute fresh insights and analysis of important events during the early years of Operation Banner, including the murders of two men in County Fermanagh, Michael Naan and Andrew Murray, and that of Warrenpoint hotel owner Edmund Woolsey in South Armagh in the autumn of 1972. The central argument of this thesis is that British Army small infantry units enjoyed considerable autonomy during the early years of Operation Banner and could behave in a vengeful, highly aggressive or benign and conciliatory way as their local commanders saw fit. The strain of civil-military relations at a senior level was replicated operationally â as soldiers came to resent the limitations of waging war in the UK. The unwillingness of the Army's senior leadership to thoroughly investigate and punish serious transgressions of standard operating procedures in Northern Ireland created uncertainty among soldiers over expected behaviour and desired outcomes. Mid-ranking officers and NCOs often played important roles in restraining soldiers in Northern Ireland. The degree of violence used in Northern was much less that that seen in the colonial wars fought since the end of World War II. But overly aggressive groups of soldiers could also be mistaken for high-functioning units â with negative consequences for the Army's overall strategy in Northern Ireland.

It has been almost 100 years since Summerhill School was founded by a charismatic Scottish teacher, A.S. Neill. Today it serves as an inspiration for a great number of schools and organizations all over the world, being considered the oldest democratic and archetypal school. Its weekly self-government meetings involve the entire school community (around 100 people) and everyone participates on equal terms. Students are free to join all classes according to the timetable and can decide on their own which ones they want to attend (if any). It is a boarding school with a number of international students. Not only does this place prepare children for lifetime challenges, but it also creates room for simple joys and cherishing the moment. Despite a great many controversial opinions, it has definitely become the symbol of debates on the nature of education.
Summerhill embodies both Neill’s ideals and his concept. It is the latter that is the main subject of this dissertation. And its purpose is to present the origins of Neill’s views on upbringing, teaching and school functioning and to undertake a prolific reconstruction of the key aspects of his pedagogical thoughts, as well as providing a reflection upon their perception and current meaning. In this dissertation, Neill’s arguments are complemented by the past and present perspective of philosophical and pedagogical thinking.
What deserves particular attention is the subjects which have not been thoroughly discussed in the Polish pedagogical literature. They include Neill’s intellectual biography, the philosophical origins of Neill’s pedagogical thoughts, the pluralistic approach to school organization and the influence of people associated with the League for New Education, as well as psychoanalysis enthusiasts (for example Wilhelm Reich and Sigmund Freud, who both played a part in shaping Neill’s concept).

Full textAbstract:
An exact quantum Monte Carlo algorithm for interacting particles in the spatial continuum is extended to exploit the massive parallelism offered by graphics processing units. Its efficacy is tested on the Calogero-Sutherland model describing a system of bosons interacting in one spatial dimension via an inverse square law. Due to the long range nature of the interactions, this model has proved difficult to simulate via conventional path integral Monte Carlo methods running on conventional processors. Using Graphics Processing Units, optimal speedup factors of up to 640 times are obtained for N = 126 particles. The known results for the ground state energy are confirmed and, for the first time, the effects of thermal fluctuations at finite temperature are explored.

no<br>This paper analyses the verbal and textual hostility employed by rioters, politicians and the media in Sydney (Australia) in December 2005 in the battle over Sutherland Shire¿s Cronulla Beach. By better understanding the linguistic conventions underlying all forms of maledictive hate, we are better able to address the false antimonies between free speech and the regulation of speech. It is also argued that understanding the harms of hate speech provides us with the tools necessary to create a more responsive framework for criminalising some forms of hate speech as a preliminary process in reducing or eliminating hate violence.

Full textAbstract:
Using complementary methods of palaeoecological reconstruction (pollen, microscopic charcoal, organic content, peat humification and tephrochronology) integrated with a critical and contrastive re-evaluation of archaeological data, this PhD project is the first to test the hypothesis that marginal, upland settlements were abandoned because of 'catastrophic' climatic or environmental changes during the Later Bronze Age (ca. 1200 BC). The Strath of Kildonan possesses a remarkably rich and well preserved record of multi-period settlement and land-use situated in an area, currently and historically, perceived as culturally, economically and environmentally 'marginal'. Previous archaeological work has been used to support the abandonment hypothesis, making it an ideal location for reconstructing associated palaeoclimatic and vegetation changes from 'off-site' environmental contexts. There are no extant palaeoclimatic reconstructions and existing pollen work is of low spatial/temporal resolution. Three deep peat sites were selected for their relationship to archaeological sites which reflect a gradient of increasing ecological 'marginality', thus sensitivity to climate change. Palaeohydrological reconstructions reveal a highly variable Late Holocene climate with regional shifts recorded ca. 4,360-4,090 cal BP (ca. 2410-2140 cal BC); ca. 3,160-2,870 cal BP (ca. 1210-920 cal BC); 2,160-1,940 cal BP (ca. 210 cal BC-cal AD 10); ca. 1,520- 1,350 cal BP (ca. cal AD 430-600). Pollen- and peat-stratigraphic data reflect the continuity of settlement, through the record of land-use, during and after the inferred Late Bronze Age climate deterioration ca. 3,160-2,870 cal BP (ca. 1210-920 cal BC) at the two most marginal sites, Loch Ascaig and Kinbrace Hill. The only significant evidence for abandonment occurs at Loch Ascaig substantially before the palaeohydrological shift ca. 1,520-1,320 cal BP and persists for ca. 200 years. The results of the palaeoenvironmental programme and re-appraisal of the archaeological record in the Strath of Kildonan, northern Scotland, have led to a rejection of a Later Bronze Age 'catastrophe' as a stimulus of land-use change and settlement abandonment. There is no evidence that climatic change or Icelandic volcanic eruptions were detrimental to 'marginal' agricultural settlements in the Strath of Kildonan during the past 4,000 years. The results both challenge environmentally deterministic interpretations and also highlight some of the ways which culture and cultural adjustments provide strategies for coping with times of uncertainty and scarcity. This research has highlighted the importance of examining how settlements and landscapes were inhabited and transformed by the dynamic interaction of human activity, climatic variability and internal environmental processes, not merely identifying the 'if and 'when' of abandonment.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis we improve and extend an algebraic technique pioneered by M. Gaudin. The technique is based on an infinite dimensional Lie algebra and a related family of mutually commuting Hamiltonians. In order to find energy eigenvalues of such Hamiltonians one has to solve the equations of Bethe ansatz. However, in most cases analytical solutions are not available. In this study we examine a special case for which analytical solutions of Bethe ansatz equations are not needed. Instead, some special properties of these equations are utilized to evaluate the energy eigenvalues. We use this method to find exact expressions for the energy eigenvalues of a class of interacting boson models.
In addition to that, we also introduce a q-deformation of the algebra of Gaudin. This deformation leads us to another family of mutually commuting Hamiltonians which we diagonalize using algebraic Bethe ansatz technique. The motivation for this deformation comes from a relationship between Gaudin algebra and a spin extension of the integrable model of F. Calogero. Observing this relation, we then consider a well known periodic version of Calogero'<br>s model which is due to B. Sutherland. The search for a Gaudin-like algebraic structure which is in a similar relationship with the spin extension of Sutherland'<br>s model naturally leads to the above mentioned q-deformation of Gaudin algebra. The deformation parameter q and the periodicity d of the Sutherland model are related by the formula q=i{pi}/d.

Hauman, Nicholas. "Thesis Proposal for: General and Specific Definitions: A Network Study of Differential Association." VCU Scholars Compass, 2011. http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/2500.
Full textAbstract:
This study examines a largely unexplored aspect of Sutherland’s (1974) model of differential association: the interplay of general and crime specific definitions favorable towards crime. Do individuals learn the specific techniques of a type of crime through interactions or do social interactions produce a general disposition towards all types of criminal behavior? Little prior research has been done on the influence of these definitions. Instead studies focus on only one or another, which leaves the details of general/specific definitions unexplored. With the aid of a mixed methodology of statistical and network analysis, this study explores general/specific definitions simultaneously by focusing on relationships between egos and alters. If alters commit similar crimes, it is likely that crime specific definitions are being learned; if crimes are dissimilar then general definitions are more likely. Using police data on a known criminal network located in an urban capital, I test the relationship between the criminal behaviors of egos and alters. The study also compares the centrality of the node to the commonality of crime they commit. This provides an understanding of how key nodes in the network affect the dissemination of criminal definitions. Overall, while variations exist for criminal types, the study finds that crime specific definitions dominate the network and, therefore, have greater influence over respondents’ criminal behavior. Conversely, I found no clear pattern which indicates that high centrality nodes commit more common crimes. This may indicate that high centrality nodes are responsible for disseminating general definitions of crime while most nodes communicate crime specific definition.
