Testimonial: Wool production & biodiversity working together for Gordon & Jan Edmonds - 'Ponds Creek'
No full textGordon Edmonds grew up at 'Ponds Creek' and he and his wife Jan took over management from Gordon's parents in the late 1980s. The Edmonds have revegetated 15% of 'Ponds Creek; and intend to increase this to 20-25% as part of their farm re-development plan. They have established 34 revegetation sites, planted more than 20 000 seedlings and direct seeded 50 km of trees and shrubs. This testimonial describes how they restore biodiversity, repair gully erosion, drought-proof their property, subdivide their country for better grazing management, ensure there is adequate shelter and water in each new paddock, and achieve market premiums for their livestock
Clebsch-Gordan Coefficients: A Quantum Mechanical and Mathematical Perspective
No full textIn this work, Clebsch-Gordan coefficients are studied from both a quantum mechanical and a mathematical perspective. In quantum mechanics, Clebsch-Gordan coefficients arise when two quantum systems with a certain angular momentum are combined and the total angular momentum is to be found. We start by discussing the relevant postulates of quantum mechanics. From there we move on to a discussion of quantum angular momentum, the combining of quantum systems, and Clebsch-Gordan coefficients. Finally, an algorithm for calculating the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients is developed. A firm grasp of linear algebra is required to understand this quantum mechanical perspective. The mathematical perspective is rooted in representation theory. The Clebsch-Gordan coefficients show the decomposition of the tensor product of irreducible representations of the three dimensional rotation group into the direct sum of irreducible representations. We explain the necessary theory to understand how this works. This includes a discussion of irreducible unitary representations, spherical harmonics, direct sum representations, and tensor product representations. Some experience with group theory is required to understand the mathematical perspective

The Clebsch-Gordan coefficients for a family of natural modules of the Modular Double of the quantum group Uq(sl(2,R))
No full textWe will study the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients of the modular double of the quantum group Uq(sl(2, R)). This will be done by studying and taking a good look at how B. Ponsot and J. Teschner showed how to compute the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients [1]. Moreover, we will also take an introductory look at the concept of quantum groups by looking at some general theory on Hopf ∗-algebras and their representations. The Clebsch-Gordan coefficients can roughly be described as a relation between a basis of a tensor product U ⊗V of two simple Uq(sl(2, R))-modules and a basis of the decomposition of U ⊗V into simple modules. We will show that this relation can be explicitly described by an integral transformation. Since this describes a relation between modules of a quantum group, the first part of this thesis will give the necessary information to introduce the reader to the concept of quantum groups and their modules. This will be done by introducing Hopf algebras and their modules and then look at their quantum deformations. This first part will also introduce several examples of algebras, Hopf algebras and quantum groups to make the reader get used to the concept of Hopf algebras and quantum groups.Applied Mathematic

Rad na ulozi Richarda u predstavi Ljubavnik
No full textU ovom pisanom diplomskom radu, Gordan Marijanović opisuje rad na ispitnoj predstavi „Ljubavnik“ Harolda Pintera nastaloj u produkciji Akademije za umjetnost i kulturu u Osijeku pod mentorstvom doc. art. Jasmina Novljakovića. Na početku autor iznosi činjenice o samom projektu, opisuje svoj proces studiranja glume, proučava razvoj umjetničkog identiteta te istražuje informacije o piscu i djelu. Analizirajući vanjske čimbenike predstave poput vizualnog identiteta i glazbe, autor nas uvodi u centralni dio svoga rada u kojemu opisuje generalni tijek od ideje do inscenacije te ulazi u dublje proučavanje rada na predstavi.

Jasmin Novljaković. On the beginning author brings facts about the project, describes his process of studying acting, explores the development of artistic identity and researches the information’s about drama and its author. Through analysing external factors of the play like visual identity and music, author introduces us in the central part of his written thesis in which he describes process from its starting idea to staging the play and starts with more detailed analysis. He describes working process through explaining the selection of specific acting tools and analyse the development of each separate scene. He points out the process of drama analysis by which he factually describes the character which he plays. He most concentrates on role working in which he writes about procedures that led him to specific scene solutions. At the end of this written thesis, he is concluding by pointing out the knowledge that he got by working on this play and emphasize the importance of partner interplay in artistic maturing of young individual
Improved recursive computation of clebsch-Gordan coefficients
No full textFast, accurate, and stable computation of the Clebsch-Gordan (C-G) coefficients is always desirable, for example, in light scattering simulations, the translation of the multipole fields, quantum physics and chemistry. Current recursive methods for computing the C-G coefficients are often unstable for large quantum numbers due to numerical overflow or underflow. In this paper, we present an improved method, called the sign-exponent recurrence, for the recursive computation of C-G coefficients. The result shows that the proposed method can significantly improve the stability of the computation without losing its efficiency, producing accurate values for the C-G coefficients even with very large quantum numbers.

Art.D. Maja Lučić Vuković. On the beginning author brings facts about the project, explores importance of music as inspiration in puppetry creativity and research history and characteristics of sevdah as music genre. Through analysing sevdalinka’s themes and asserting the importance of narration he introduces us in the central part of his written thesis in which he describes process from it’s starting idea to staging the play and starts with more detailed analysis. He describes working process through explaining why they chosen specific puppetry technique and analyse development of each separate etude. He points out the importance of symbolism and understanding the puppet as a metaphorical medium. He concentrates on music dramaturgy and adaptation, creating the atmospheres and relation between actor and puppet. After the short review about creating the scenography he describes the process of putting all elements into the one connected unity.

Bugs and amber - transience and duration: Martial and Dobriša Cesarić
No full textU svoja dva epigrama (IV 32 i VIIS) rimski pesnik Marko Valerije Marcijal (između 40. i 104. g. n. e.) govori o pčeli, odnosno mravu koje jantar ovekovečuje. Tom smrću pčela stiče nagradu za svoj mar i trud, a mravlji neugledan život tako zablista. Dobriša Cesarić (1902-1980) u Bubici (Pjesme, Zagreb 1951.) izjednačuje jantar i svoju pesmu, koja takođe čuva spomen na "stvorenjce
malo", ali i relativizuje poetsko stvaranje i fikciju. U tom duhu je i autoironični katren Kad bi bar Ćilibar Gordana Maričića, kojim se zaokružuje ovaj mali motivski srodan kvartet pesama.In two of his epigrams (IV 32 and VIIS), Marcus Valerius Martial
(ca. 40-104AD) speaks of a bee and an ant perpetuated by amber. With
this death, the bee acquires an award for its diligence and effort, while the
unsightly life of the ant thus shines out. In his "Tiny Bug" ("Poems",
Zagreb, 1951), Dobriša Cesarić (1902-1980) equates amber and his poem,
which also preserves the memory of the "little creature", yet relativizing
poetic creation and fiction. Provided that Cesarić read Martial, this creates
a literary dialogue between the two poets. It is also possible that the
Croatian poet was inspired by some piece of jewelry made of amber or that
he saw bugs in it. However, the author of the paper believes that Cesarić
read Martial's epigrams. Therefore, with his own auto-ironic quatrain "If
Only Amber Would" and its motif, Gordan Maričić joins the poetic duet
