PHOTODISSOCIATION OF OZONE AT 193 NM BY HIGH-RESOLUTION PHOTOFRAGMENT TRANSLATIONAL SPECTROSCOPY
Full text linkThe photodissociation of ozone has been studied at 193 nm using high resolution photofragment translational spectroscopy. The results show six distinct peaks in the time-of-flight spectra for the O2 product and its momentum-matched O atom counterpart. The translational energy distributions determined from the time-of-flight spectra reveal the production of a range of electronic states of the photofragments. The product electronic states were identified based on the translational energy distributions, with the aid of state-resolved imaging experiments by Houston and co-workers. The results reveal the production of a substantial yield of highly excited triplet states of O2 , recently suggested to play an important role in the stratospheric ozone balance. In addition, peaks corresponding to O2(a 1Dg) and O2(b 1Sg 1) were observed, the latter confirming a previous report @A. A. Turnipseed et al., J. Chem. Phys. 95, 3244 ~1991!#. Evidence was seen for a small contribution from the triple dissociation O3!3O(3P), and insight into the dissociation dynamics for this process was inferred from the translational energy distributions. Branching fractions and angular distributions were measured for all channels. The latter were found in general to yield negative b parameters, in contrast to what is seen at longer wavelengths

Arthur William Upfield: a biography
Full text linkThis dissertation is an exhaustive account of the life and work of Arthur William Upfield (1890-1964). It is presented as a critical biography and narrates the life of the writer, in his socio-cultural milieu, from birth. It also positions Upfield as a writer who dealt with issues of Aboriginality at a time when this was a singularly polemical subject. My work is informed by the theory of Zygmunt Bauman and others and is posited in the context of late-modern biography theory.
English-born, Upfield arrived in Australia in 1911 and took work in the bush, serving overseas with the Australian army at the outbreak of World War I and marrying an Australian army nurse in Egypt. Returning with his wife and son to Australia in 1921 he intermittently carried his swag until he was employed patrolling the Western Australian number 1 rabbit-proof fence for three years to 1931. By that time he had published four novels, including two crime novels featuring his fictional creation, the part-Aboriginal, part-European, Detective-Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte ('Bony'), arguably the first fully-developed character in Australian popular fiction.
Leaving the fence, Upfield settled with his family in Perth and wrote full-time until joining the Melbourne Herald in 1933. Retrenched, he resumed career writing to be further interrupted by a war-time intelligence posting in 1939. In 1943 the first Bony mysteries were published in America, where Upfield's critical success was maintained until his death. In 1945 he left his wife for Jessica Uren, to whom he remained devoted.
Upfield's in all twenty-nine Bony novels, many of which have been translated across eleven languages, afforded him notable success both at home and abroad, in good part due to his descriptive gifts and the uniqueness of his fictional character, the part-Aboriginal Bony
