Making history beyond neoliberalism: Response to Roper
No full textRoper (2011a, p. 39) sums up his account of neoliberalism in New Zealand with the following conclusion: “In the absence of a major upsurge in working class and social movement struggle, the neoliberal policy regime is likely to remain firmly in place.” The bulk of his article lends weight to this conclusion in the course of offering a detailed analysis of National’s neoliberalism and New Zealand’s social inequality. In his final assessment Roper turns to list mid-range factors that underpin his conclusion. In particular, he refers to structural constraints resulting from the neoliberalisation of New Zealand’s financial regime; neoliberalisation of the outlooks of successive New Zealand Governments since 1984; and the balance of class forces in favour of capital (pp.37-8). This response focuses, first, on building a sympathetic analysis of these mid-range factors which are linked here with the form and dynamic of the ‘neoliberal model of development’ (Neilson, 2011). In his conclusion Roper also states that if there is an upsurge in social movement and working class politics ‘then the question of alternatives to neoliberalism will come to the forefront of New Zealand politics’ (Roper, 2011a, p. 39). The second theme of this essay is linked to an exploratory discussion of why this might or might not happen and how more specifically a ‘counter-hegemonic project’ could be more consciously constructed and actively pursued

The Solo Librarian: A Practical Handbook
No full textThis practical handbook actively diversifies the content to increase its relevance to an international audience. It provides a one-stop shop with accompanying time-saving templates that can be easily adapted to help aid the daily activities and processes often faced by those working in information, knowledge, libraries, and related disciplines.
Key Features:
• Becoming a solo librarian can be a daunting prospect. This book relays, as a solo librarian practitioner, the lessons the author has learnt whilst creating and sharing guidance that assists others finding themselves in a similar role and/or a small team with limited help but with a mandate to connect to global trends and progress in the field of librarianship and information science.
• This Internationally applicable and practical handbook, however, provides a logical process of creating library provision and the services involved.
• The solo librarian yearly planner and timeline of activities, supporting guidance, and templates provided will be downloadable (via the eBook version) and can be adapted and utilised further to help aid the daily activities and processes often faced by library and information service(s) staff, including those working in information, knowledge, libraries, and related disciplines in the UK and internationally

Universal mass equation for equal-quantum excited-states sets II
No full textWe extend our recent study of the Universal Mass Equation for equal-quantum excited-states sets reported by Roper and Strakovsky (Eur Phys J A 61:102, 2025). The masses of twelve baryon sets and sixteen meson sets, with only two equal-quantum excited states in each set, using Breit-Wigner PDG2024 masses and their uncertainties at fixed for baryons and for mesons, are fitted by a simple one-parameter logarithmic function, , where n is the level of radial excitation. Two accurate masses that start a set are used to calculate four higher masses in the set accurately. It is noted that values for equal-quantum excited-states sets accurately lie on a straight line, whose line parameters can be used to calculate and predict higher mass states for sets that have only one known member
Roper River fish movement study. Report on 2015 - 2018 data
No full textThis project seeks to provide information on flow-ecology links for sustainable water management of the Roper River. This is a collaborative project involving researchers from the Aquatic Health Unit of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Charles Darwin University (CDU) and NT Fisheries, with field support from the Yugul Mangi and Mangarrayi ranger groups. The co-leaders of the project are Dr Peter Dostine (DENR) and Associate Professor David Crook (CDU). This report summarises results for data collected up to late 2018. Results from the first year of the study were reported in Dostine and Crook (2016). Much of the following text is repeated from the introduction in Dostine and Crook (2016).1 Introduction -- 2 Methods -- 2.1 Environmental data: flow, water level and water temperature -- 2.2 Fish tagging -- 2.3 Receiver array -- 2.4 Fish movement histories -- 2.5 Cross-barrier movements -- 2.6 Modelling covariates of the onset of migration -- 2.7 Modelling covariates of passage across the tidal barrier -- 3 Results -- 3.1 Environmental data: flow, water level and water temperature -- 3.2 Database of detection records -- 3.3 Fish movement histories -- 3.4 Cross-barrier movements --

An analysis of pion photoproduction
No full textA partial-wave analysis of pion photoproduction data up to a photon lab energy of 1.8 GeV has been performed. Both energy-dependent and energy-independent solutions have been obtained. The energy-dependent parametrization incorporates the recently determined elastic pion nucleon scattering amplitudes in such a way as to satisfy unitarity and utilize the resonance structure contained in the pion nucleon elastic amplitudes. Starting from the energy-dependent solution, energy-independent partial-wave solutions are obtained at a set of energies from threshold to 1.8 GeV. The data base used in the analysis contains 11,911 data from the reactions. The predictions of our solution are compared with the experimental data and previous analyses. Suggestions are made for future experiments.
A total of sixteen resonances exist in the energy range from threshold to 1.8 GeV. These resonance states are studied using our energy-independent solutions. Photon decay couplings to the sixteen resonances are extracted. These couplings are also compared with previous solutions and quark model predictions.Ph. D
