Index. Café Royal Books
No full textIndex began as an online open submission project, attracting IRO 2500 international submissions. Criteria being, ‘submissions must have already been used to communicate, or be communicative in their own right’. All submissions have been removed from their original context, breaking the messages or ideas for which they were created. For example, some of the drawings and photographs might have been made or shot to brief or assignment, for a magazine or newspaper. Index stripped them of this original context, bias and message.
Using Index as a container, exhibition space and story telling device, the pages that follow have been edited to create pairs or combinations of images that can be read as new narratives. The book is an experimental exchange of internationally created, out-of-context, repurposed text and image.
Index was acquired by The Museum of Modern Art NY Special Collection April 4th 2014.

Search for Diboson resonances in 8 tev and 13 tev proton-proton collisions at the large hadron collider with the atlas detector
No full textThis thesis documents two searches for Diboson Resonances which were performed using data collected in 2012, 2015 and 2016 by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Three benchmark models are tested: a model predicting the existence of a new heavy scalar singlet, a simplified model predicting a heavy vector-boson triplet (V ′), and a bulk Randall-Sundrum model with a heavy spin-2 graviton (G∗). Neither of these searches found evidence of any resonance, and exclusion limits are set on σ(pp → V ′) and σ(pp → G∗).
For the 2012 ATLAS data, searches are performed for the G∗ and the W′. The sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb−1 proton-proton collisions with a center of mass energy √s = 8 TeV. This search looks for the decay channels G∗ → WW → lνjj and W′ → WZ → lνjj. No evidence for resonant diboson production is observed, and resonance masses below 760 GeV and 1490 GeV are excluded at 95% confidence level for the spin-2 Randall–Sundrum bulk graviton G∗ and the spin-1 extended gauge model W′ boson respectively.
For the 2015 and 2016 ATLAS data, searches are performed for the G∗ and the V ′ and a heavy scalar. The sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb−1 proton-proton collisions with a center of mass energy √s = 13 TeV. This search looks for the decay channels G∗ → V V , scalar → V V and V ′ → V V/V H/dilepton. The V V and V H dibosons then decay into qqqq, ννqq, lνqq, llqq, lνlν, llνν, lνll, llll, qqbb, ννbb, lνbb, or llbb which are all combined (14 channels). No evidence for resonant diboson production is observed, and resonance masses below 2300 GeV are excluded at 95% confidence level for the spin-2 Randall–Sundrum bulk graviton G∗. Resonance masses below 5500 GeV and 4500 GeV are excluded at 95% confidence level for the heavy vector triplet in a weakly coupled scenario and a strongly coupled scenario respectively. No limits are extracted for the heavy scalar.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2021-08-01The student, Markus Atkinson, accepted the attached license on 2019-07-04 at 17:54.The student, Markus Atkinson, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2019-07-04 at 18:07.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2019-07-05 at 16:01.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #14175 on 2019-11-26 at 13:04:28Made available in DSpace on 2019-11-26T20:49:21Z (GMT).

Super-Resolution Land Cover Pattern Prediction Using a Hopfield Neural Network
No full textLandscape pattern represents a key variable in management and understanding of the environment, as well as driving many environmental models. Remote sensing can be used to provide information on the spatial pattern of land cover features, but analysis and classification of such imagery suffers from the problem of class mixing within pixels. Fuzzy classification techniques can estimate the class composition of image pixels. However, their output provides no indication of how such classes are distributed spatially within the instantaneous field of view represented by the pixel. Techniques to provide an improved spatial representation of land cover targets larger than the size of a pixel have been developed, however, the mapping of sub-pixel scale land cover features has yet to be investigated. We recently described the application of a Hopfield neural network technique to super-resolution mapping of land cover features larger than a pixel (Tatem et al., 2000), using information of pixel composition determined from fuzzy classification, and (was but) now show how our approach can be extended in a new way (added) to predict the spatial pattern of sub-pixel scale features. The network converges to a minimum of an energy function defined as a goal and several constraints. Prior information on the typical spatial arrangement of the particular land cover types is incorporated into the energy function as a constraint. This produces a prediction of the spatial pattern of the land cover in question, at the sub-pixel scale. The technique is applied to synthetic and simulated Landsat TM imagery, and compared to results of an existing super-resolution target identification technique. Results show that the new approach (was Hopfield neural network) represents a simple, robust and efficient tool for super-resolution land cover pattern prediction from remotely sensed imagery
Tackling the burden of injury in Australasia: developing a binational trauma registry
No full textThe document attached has been archived with permission from the editor of the Medical Journal of Australia. An external link to the publisher’s copy is included.Existing trauma registries in Australia and New Zealand play an important role in monitoring the management of injured patients. Over the past decade, such monitoring has been translated into changes in clinical processes and practices. Monitoring and changes have been ad hoc, as there are currently no Australasian benchmarks for “optimal” injury management. A binational trauma registry is urgently needed to benchmark injury management to improve outcomes for injured patients.Tamzyn M Davey, Cliff W Pollard, Leanne M Aitken, Mark Fitzgerald, Nicholas Bellamy, Daniel Cass, Peter D Danne, William M Griggs, Peter A Cameron, Robert N Atkinson, James Hamill, Sudhakar Rao, Drew B Richardson and Christine O'Conno
Use of synchrotron tomographic techniques in the assessment of diffusion parameters for solute transport in groundwater flow
No full textThis technical note describes the use of time-resolved synchrotron radiation tomographic energy dispersive diffraction imaging (TEDDI) and tomographic X-ray fluorescence (TXRF) for examining ion diffusion in porous media. The technique is capable of tracking the diffusion of several ion species simultaneously. This is illustrated by results which compare the movement of Cs+, Ba2+ and La3+ ions from solution into a typical sample of English chalk. The results exhibited somewhat anomalous (non-Fickian) behaviour and revealed heterogeneities (in 1D) on the scale of a few millimetres
Seabed foraging by Antarctic krill: Implications for stock assessment, bentho-pelagic coupling, and the vertical transfer of iron
No full textA compilation of more than 30 studies shows that adult Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) may frequent benthic habitats year-round, in shelf as well as oceanic waters and throughout their circumpolar range. Net and acoustic data from the Scotia Sea show that in summer 2-20% of the population reside at depths between 200 and 2000 m, and that large aggregations can form above the seabed. Local differences in the vertical distribution of krill indicate that reduced feeding success in surface waters, either due to predator encounter or food shortage, might initiate such deep migrations and results in benthic feeding. Fatty acid and microscopic analyses of stomach content confirm two different foraging habitats for Antarctic krill: the upper ocean, where fresh phytoplankton is the main food source, and deeper water or the seabed, where detritus and copepods are consumed. Krill caught in upper waters retain signals of benthic feeding, suggesting frequent and dynamic exchange between surface and seabed. Krill contained up to 260 nmol iron per stomach when returning from seabed feeding. About 5% of this iron is labile, i.e., potentially available to phytoplankton. Due to their large biomass, frequent benthic feeding, and acidic digestion of particulate iron, krill might facilitate an input of new iron to Southern Ocean surface waters. Deep migrations and foraging at the seabed are significant parts of krill ecology, and the vertical fluxes involved in this behavior are important for the coupling of benthic and pelagic food webs and their elemental repositories

Shipbuilding and timber management in the Royal Dockyards 1750-1850 : an archaeological investigation of timber marks
No full textThis work presents a study of shipbuilding and timber management in the Royal Dockyards in the period 1750 – 1850, focusing on an archaeological investigation of ship timber marks. The first chapter outlines the concept of timber marking in shipbuilding contexts, stressing the multi-disciplinary approach to the study highlighted in the available archaeological and documentary evidence by which the practice of timber marking can be understood.
Chapter two outlines the background to timber marking in the Georgian era and the development of the practice within the broader advances made in shipbuilding, technology and design prior to the end of the 17th century. Chapter three outlines the developments in shipbuilding and the introduction of systems to control and
standardise the management of timber in the Royal Dockyards in the 18th century.
