Please Bring me the New York Times – On the European Roots of Richard Abel Musgrave
No full textRichard Musgrave was one of the around 200 academic economists who emigrated from Germany when Fascism came to dominate the country. This memorial lecture traces the German and European roots of Richard Musgrave’s oeuvre, trying to shed light on his family background as well as on the political and scientific factors that influenced his education as an economist. Particular emphasis is given to the development of his notion of public goods.Richard Musgrave, Public Finance and Economic Thought
Electro-optic studies of the flexoelectric effect in chiral nematic liquid crystals
No full textWith the advent of global telecommunications networks and the Internet, the development of portable display technology has gained a new impetus. Liquid crystal devices have played a major role in this area, most conspicuously as displays in laptop computers. To date, these liquid crystalline devices have been generally based on the rather slow (#approx# 30 ms) dielectric response of the achiral nematic liquid crystal phase, although more expensive devices based on the faster (< 100 #mu#s) ferroelectric switching of the smectic C* phase are in production. The research presented in this thesis relates to a new switching effect recently discovered in the chiral nematic phase. The flexoelectrically-driven rotation of the chiral nematic phase's optic axis is fast - of the order 10 #mu#s to lms - proportional to the applied field amplitude and completely in-plane. The optic axis has been deflected by over 30 deg. from the equilibrium position in some materials. These electro-optic properties make the 'flexoelectro-optic' effect a potential contender in the liquid crystal device market. The present thesis contains the first studies of the effect of molecular structure on flexoelectric coupling in the chiral nematic phase. Several homologous series of estradiol-cyanobiphenyl bimesogenic materials synthesized for this work have been characterized and their electro-optic properties investigated. The chiral nematic phases of these materials have unusually strong flexoelectro-optic effects and respond on a sub-millisecond timescale. The ratios of the effective flexoelectric coefficient to the mean splay-bend elastic constant, e-bar/K, in the present materials lie in the range 0.3 to 0.6 C N"-"1 m"-"1, and are the highest measured to date: the highest value previously published is 0.12 C N"-"1 m"-"1, measured for the commercial mixture TM216. In order to interpret the effect of the bimesogens' molecular structure, achiral nematic monomesogens and bimesogens have been doped with chiral additives and the resultant mixtures' flexoelectro-optic properties have been analysed. From this work it has been possible to determine that the polar cyanobiphenyl group is the key to the strong response in the estradiol-cyanobiphenyl materials. In conclusion, a recommendation is made, for the first time, for a general molecular structure likely to exhibit a strong flexoelectro-optic response: namely, bimesogenic materials composed of highly polar end groups separated by a flexible spacer.

The Musgrave Province - NT's most underexplored terrane
No full textMost mineral exploration within the Palaeo- to Mesoproterozoic of the Northern Territory has been focused on the Palaeoproterozoic basement terranes of the North Australian Craton and on Northern Australian platform cover rocks such as the McArthur Basin. In comparison, the more juvenile Proterozoic crust that lies to the south of the North Australian Craton, including the Warumpi Province (southwestern Arunta) and Musgrave Province3, has received little attention from explorers. The Musgrave Province within the NT is one of the most underexplored Proterozoic terranes on the Australian continent, with an average of 1 drillhole for every 210 km2. The geological framework of the Musgrave Province was a focus of NTGS studies in the 1990s (see List of selected NTGS publications in the Musgrave Province) and a summary of the geology of the Musgrave Province has recently been published (Edgoose et al 2004). Recent flying of the 2001 Eromanga and 2004 Simpson airborne surveys have completed high-resolution airborne magnetic coverage of the Musgrave Province at exploreable depths. NTGS is continuing its investigations in the Musgrave Province through collaborative research programs with the University of Adelaide.Ian R Scrimgeour, Christine J Edgoose, Dorothy F Close and Ben P Wad

GSWA Musgrave Extensions percent potassium grid geodetic
No full textMaintenance and Update Frequency: notPlannedStatement: This GSWA Musgrave Extensions percent potassium grid geodetic is an airborne-derived radiometric potassium grid for the Musgrave Extensions, WA, 2006. The survey was acquired under the project No. 1135 for the geological survey of WA. The grid has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 88m). A total of 83777 line-kilometres of data at a line spacing of 400m and 60m terrain clearance were acquired to produce this grid. This radiometric potassium grid shows potassium element concentration of the Musgrave Extensions, WA, 2006 in units of percent (or %). Noise-adjusted singular value decomposition (NASVD) has been applied to the data. NASVD is a spectral component analysis procedure for the removal of noise from gamma-ray spectra. Details of the specifications of individual airborne surveys can be found in the Fourteenth Edition of the Index of Airborne Geophysical Surveys (Percival, 2014). This Index is also available online at http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/dataset/79134.
