Modern Frontier: Aspects of the 1950s in Australia's Northern Territory
No full text'Modern Frontier' is a study of Australia's Northern Territory in the 1950s using an interdisciplinary approach that takes in environmental, historical and cultural history. Through a series of chapters from a number of contributors, a decade in Australian history is revealed from a Territory perspective. The editors have brought together a diverse range of authors, experts in their fields, who provide a fascinating insight into aspects of Australian history and policy in the north. The decade that brought issues of assimilation and Aboriginal culture to the national stage, against a backdrop of the Cold War, had the Northern Territory as its theatre of representation. This book explores a period that saw a federal experiment to normalise the north, the black half of a White Australia, across a vast geographic region with diverse population; the results are often surprising and offer new insight into this period in Australian history. The editors are three historians with a wide experience of researching and writing Territory history. Modern Frontier provided them an exciting opportunity to work with a range of authors representing different disciplines and perspectives, on a subject where the issues still powerfully resonate today, more than half a century on.

Speak for Yourself Book Launch
No full textFilmed Tuesday 30 October 5:30pm. Northern Territory Library, Parliament House Darwin. Speak for Yourself launched by Chief Minister, the Hon. Terry Mills MLA
Speak For Yourself introduces you to the eight Chief Ministers of the Northern Territory, as they reflect on how it is to be a Chief Minister of a Territory, rather than the Premier of a state. The book brings together for the first time, the stories of the key players in the history of the Northern Territory and the federal moves that challenged its independence and authority.
The author and interviewers are two locals ? the seventh Chief Minister, Clare Martin and award-winning historian Dr Mickey Dewar. The book is published by CDU Press
The turbulent oscillator : a mechanism of low-frequency variability of the wind-driven ocean gyres

The definitive version was published in Journal of Physical Oceanography. 37 (2007): 2363-2386, doi:10.1175/jpo3118.1.Intrinsic low-frequency variability is studied in the idealized, quasigeostrophic, midlatitude, wind-driven ocean gyres operating at large Reynolds number. A robust decadal variability mode driven by the transient mesoscale eddies is found and analyzed. The variability is a turbulent phenomenon, which is driven by the competition between the eddy rectification process and the potential vorticity anomalies induced by changes of the intergyre transportFunding for Pavel Berloff was

MOLECULAR ORBITAL CONSTRAINT OF INTERACTION COORDINATES, MOCIC: AN APPROXIMATE POTENTIAL FUNCTION
No full text L. H. Jones and R. R. Ryan, J. Chem. Phys. 52, 2003 (1970) M.J.S. Dewar and W, Thiel, J. Am. Chem. Soc. (in press); M.J.S. Dewar and M. McKee, ibid (in press); and M.J.S. Dewar and H. S. Rzepa, ibid (in press).Author Institution: Department of Chemistry, University of TexasAn approximato potential function method based on a combination of molecular orbital calculations and limited vibrational data has been developed. In the MOCIC (Molecular Orbital Constraint of interaction Coordinates) method interaction displacement are first evaluated using a molecular orbital calculation. The Interaction displacement coordinates are then constrained in a least-squares evaluation of the general quadratic compliance function, where the calculated frequencies of vibration of the normal isotopic molecule are fitted to the observed frequencies. In effect, the constraint of the various Interaction displacement coordinate, (i), fixes the relationship between primary and interaction compliants and . Thus, a completely general quadratic compliant function may be obtained using vibrational data of only one isotopic species. The MOCIC method has been applied to several molecules, (including , and ) using the semi-empirical molecular orbital method MNDO (Modified Neglect of Diatomic Overlap). The quadratic potential functions so obtained are in remarkable agreement with those potential functions determined uniquely from vibrational data
Estimating and visualising imprecision in radiological emergency response assessments
No full textAfter an accidental release of radioactivity to atmosphere, modelling assessments are needed to predict what the contamination levels are likely to be and what measures need to be taken to protect human health. These predictions will be imprecise due to lack of knowledge about the nature of the release and the weather, and also due to measurement inaccuracy. This thesis describes work to investigate this imprecision and to find better ways of including it in assessments and representing it in results. It starts by reviewing exposure pathways and the basic dose calculations in an emergency response assessment. The possible variability of key parameters in emergency dose calculations is considered, and ranges are developed for each. The imprecision typically associated with calculational endpoints is explored through a sensitivity study. This has been done using both a simple Gaussian atmospheric dispersion model and also real-time weather data in combination with a complex atmospheric dispersion model. The key parameters influencing assessment imprecision are identified. These are demonstrated to be factors relating to the release, arising from inevitable lack of knowledge in the early stages of an accident, and factors relating to meteorology and dispersion. An alternative improved approach to emergency response assessments is then outlined, which retains a simple and transparent assessment capability but which also indicates the imprecision associated with the results through incomplete knowledge. This tool uses input from real-time atmospheric dispersion and weather prediction tools. A prototype version of the tool has been created and this has been used to produce example results. The final stage of the thesis describes the use of the new tool to develop ways in which imprecise or uncertain information can be presented to decision makers. Alternative presentational techniques are demonstrated using example results

高溫超導SQUID磁量儀系統之研發
No full text[[abstract]]超導量子干涉元件 (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device, 簡稱SQUID) 是目前所知最敏感的磁通偵測器，其獨特的磁通與電壓的週期特性，使得SQUID已被使用在精密測量，成為微弱物理量如磁場、磁場梯度、電流、電壓、電阻、電感及磁化率等測量上最靈敏的感測元件。
在本實驗中我們自行設計研發一個高溫超導SQUID磁量儀系統，其中包含Dewar、屏蔽桶、均勻磁化線圈，並研究性能及特性。
我們使用G-10玻璃纖維作為材料製作Dewar，以及低溫AB膠來接合，確保Dewar的真空度，在製作過程中我們嘗試了許多塗膠的方法，最後發現只要塗在接合部分即可達到效果。製作完成後量測Dewar的性能，可容納2.6 升的液態氮，儲存20小時。
我們並且使用high μ-metal製作屏蔽桶，我們的屏敝桶有三層high μ-metal以及銅網，其體積大小為長44 cm、寬 44 cm、高 56 cm，其屏蔽效果在1 Hz的屏蔽係數可達35 dB，而在1 kHz可以達到50 dB。
若應用在磁鬆弛量測上必須有一個均勻磁場磁化樣品所以我們製作一個均勻磁場線圈，經過量測後軸向磁場的均勻度在線圈中心10 mm x 10 mm的範圍內是0.8 %，在2 mm x 2 mm的範圍內是0.1 %。最後我們將SQUID磁量計置於系統中量測雜訊頻譜，SQUID對磁場的雜訊在100 Hz為300 μΦ0/Hz1/2。
