Exclusive electroproduction of rho0 and J / psi mesons at HERA
No full textExclusive production of rho(0) and J/psi mesons in e(+)p collisions has been studied with the ZEUS detector in the kinematic range 0.25 < Q(2) < 50 GeV2, 20 < W < 167 GeV for the rho(0) data and 2 < Q(2) < 40 GeV2, 50 < IS' < 150 GeV for the J/psi data. Cross sections for exclusive rho(0) and J/psi, production have been measured as a function of Q2, W and t. The spin-density matrix elements r(00)(04), r(1-1)(1) and Rer(10)(5) have been determined for exclusive rho(0) production as well as r(00)(04) and r(1-1)(04) for exclusive J/psi production. The results are discussed in the context of theoretical models invoking soft and hard phenomena

Unconventional Parahydrogen-Induced Hyperpolarization Effects in Chemistry and Catalysis: From Photoreactions to Enzymes
No full textNuclear spin hyperpolarization utilizing parahydrogen has the potential for broad applications in chemistry, catalysis, biochemistry, and medicine. This review examines recent chemical and biochemical insights gained using parahydrogen-induced polarization (PHIP). We begin with photoinduced PHIP, which allows the investigation of short-lived and photoactivated catalysis. Next, we review the partially negative line effect, in which distinctive line shape helps to reveal information about rapid exchange with parahydrogen and the role of short-lived catalytic species. The NMR signal enhancement of a single proton in oneH-PHIP is discussed, challenging the underpinning concept of the necessity of pairwise hydrogenation. Furthermore, we examine metal-free PHIP facilitated by frustrated Lewis pair molecular tweezers and radicaloids, demonstrating alternative routes to hydrogenation. Although symmetric molecules incorporating parahydrogen are NMR silent, we showcase methods that reveal hyperpolarized states through post-hydrogenation reactions. We discuss chemical exchange processes that mediate polarization transfer between parahydrogen and a molecular target, expanding the reach of PHIP without synthesizing specialized precursors. We conclude this review by highlighting the role of PHIP in uncovering the H2 activation mechanisms of hydrogenases. By providing a detailed review of these diverse phenomena, we aim to familiarize the reader with the versatility of PHIP and its potential applications for mechanistic studies and chemical analysis
Postvocalic /r/ in New Orleans: Language, place and commodification
No full textFrom silva dimes to po-boys, r-lessness has long been a conspicuous feature of all dialects of New Orleans English. This dissertation presents a quantitative and qualitative description of current rates of r-lessness in the city. 71 speakers from 21 neighborhoods were interviewed. R-pronunciation was elicited in four contexts: interview chat, Katrina narratives, a reading passage and a word list. R-lessness was found in 39% of possible instances. Older speakers pronounce /-r/ less than younger speakers, and those with a high school education or less pronounce /-r/ far less than those with post-secondary education. Race and gender did not prove to be significant predictors of r-pronunciation. In contrast to past studies, many speakers in the current study discuss their metalinguistic awareness of /-r/ and their partial control of /-r/ variation, discussing switching between r-fulness and r-lessness in different contexts.
In New Orleans, this metalinguistic awareness is attributable in part to the devastation following Hurricane Katrina in 2005, when the near-disappearance of the city intensified an already extant nostalgia for local culture, including ways of speaking. Nostalgia and amplification by advertisers and popular media have helped recontextualize r-lessness as a variable associated with a number of social meanings, including localness and authenticity. These processes help transform r-lessness, for many speakers, from a routine feature of talk to a floating cultural variable, serving as a semiotic resource on which speakers can draw on to perform localness.
This dissertation both closes a gap in research on New Orleans speech and uses New Orleans as a case study to suggest that the social meanings of linguistic features are created and maintained in part by a constellation of interrelated social processes of late modernity. Further, I argue that individual speakers are increasingly agentively engaged with these larger processes, as part of a global transformation from more traditional, place-bound populations to more deracinated individuals who choose to align themselves with particular communities and local cultural forms, particularly those that have been commodified
Human,climatic and oceanographic influences on the marine environment of Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia
No full textFile PB200200 could not be included in folder EFR1. Full data available on disc with print copy held at the University of Waikato Library.Coral reefs and marine resources are culturally, as well as economically, vital to Pohnpei, situated in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). Farming and fishing are the main sources of livelihood for most Pohnpeian communities. Pohnpei has eleven Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) where nine are situated in the Pohnpei Island Lagoon and two MPAs on the outer low-lying atolls. Like many other Pacific Island countries Pohnpei is on the verge of creating more MPAs. However, the marine environment continues to be significantly threatened by human and natural influences. The recognised threats are yet to be methodically investigated.
This thesis used a combination of sediment, coral, fish, climatic, and oceanographic data, and focused on the Pohnpei Lagoon, examining a range of natural and human issues in the marine environment both at the local level (focusing on that within the Pohnpei Lagoon) and regional level (focusing on the western Pacific region).
Evidence from historical, archaeological, and modern experience has influenced various marine impacts that have altered the coastline and the marine environment of the Pohnpei Lagoon. Humans have greatly impacted on the coral diversity and fish populations in the Pohnpei Lagoon by over-fishing and contributing to accelerated sediment inputs. My study findings shows that that increased sea surface temperature (SST) caused by El Ni o events is not the only cause of coral bleaching, but also cooling of SST, and other human factors. However, when corals bleach they recover by symbiont shuffling . This is an ingenious way in which corals host one or more varieties of their zooxanthelle (Symbiodinium symbiont clades) that are more tolerant of the stress caused by increased SST and human factors.
The recognised natural climatic variability, particularly the El Ni o/Southern Oscillation (ENSO), may pose a significant threat to the Pohnpei Lagoon. El Ni o events are associated with: a change in trade winds and stronger wind gusts attributed to typhoons; lower rainfall causing drought; a decrease in SST attributed to cooling of the marine environment; increase of salinity in marine estuaries affecting development and recruitment of marine species communities; and a steep fall in sea level exposing corals to other elements. The various on-going human threats and El Ni o-like conditions have caused giant clams (Tridacna gigas) to become extinct, have endangered herbivorous fish populations, and caused coral bleaching by cooling of SST.
Although high SSTs are normally blamed for coral bleaching, the last major bleaching event in Pohnpei (2002) was likely to be due to a reduction in salinity (freshwater runoff and lower sea level), and there has been strong recovery. However, decreasing water temperatures rather than increases of SSTs may contribute to coral bleaching in the Pohnpei Lagoon and the Micronesian region. The Micronesian region appears to have suffered relatively few episodes of regional coral bleaching events. This is due to the Western Pacific Warm Pool (WPWP) where sea surface temperatures exceed 29 C but also where various feedback mechanisms limit the maximum SSTs.
The management aims of Pohnpei's MPAs are to move forward, while still respecting traditional practices. However, a lack of scientific monitoring, technical support and funding restricts our understanding of human and natural influences on the existing MPAs and the Pohnpei Lagoon. With respect to our policy makers the findings of the present research have implications on the future work in Pohnpei's marine environment and for policy makers, to make more-informed decisions before establishing new MPAs.
My key recommendations were: 1.) Integrate coral and fish monitoring during and after El Ni o events to understand El Ni o effects on the Pohnpei environment. 2.) Undertake herbivorous fish investigation into their populations inside and outside the MPAs. 3.) Do not cut down vegetation along coastline areas, as it prevents erosion 4.) Investigate Symbiodinium coral clades in Pohnpei Lagoon and the outer low-lying atolls
