Titanium-nitrogen reaction investigated for application to gettering systems
Titanium is one of several gettering materials available for removing nitrogen from inert gases. The reaction rate of titanium-metal sponge and nitrogen in argon-nitrogen mixtures was studied at 900 degrees C. The rate was found to depend upon the partial pressure of nitrogen in the gas phase. Mathematical relationships simulate titanium systems
Quantum Fermion Hair
It is shown that the Dirac operator in the background of a magnetic
%Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole and a Euclidean vortex possesses normalizable
zero modes in theories containing superconducting cosmic strings. One
consequence of these zero modes is the presence of a fermion condensate around
magnetically charged black holes which violates global quantum numbers.Comment: 16pp (harvmac (l)) and 2 figs.(not included

Veterinary technology is an emerging profession within the veterinary and allied animal health fields in Australia and affords graduates the opportunity to contribute to the small but growing body of literature within this discipline. This study describes the introduction of a contextualised assessment task to develop students’ research capability, competence and confidence in professional writing, and to engage them with the academic publishing process. Students worked in self-selected dyads to author a scientific case report, of publishable standard, based on authentic cases from their clinical practicum. Intrinsic to the task, students attended a series of workshops that explored topics such as critiquing the literature, professional writing styles and oral presentation skills. Assessment was multi-staged with progressive feedback, including peer review, and culminated with students presenting their abstracts at a mock conference. Students reported the task to be an enjoyable and valuable learning experience which improved their competence and confidence in scientific writing; supported by a comparison of previously submitted work. Linking scientific writing skills to clinical practice experiences enhanced learning outcomes and may foster the professionalisation of students within this emerging discipline
Time-dependent gravitating solitons in five dimensional warped space-times
Time-dependent soliton solutions are explicitly derived in a five-dimensional
theory endowed with one (warped) extra-dimension. Some of the obtained
geometries, everywhere well defined and technically regular, smoothly
interpolate between two five-dimensional anti-de Sitter space-times for fixed
value of the conformal time coordinate. Time dependent solutions containing
both topological and non-topological sectors are also obtained. Supplementary
degrees of freedom can be also included and, in this case, the resulting
multi-soliton solutions may describe time-dependent kink-antikink systems.Comment: 19 pages, 10 figure
Locally critical point in an anisotropic Kondo lattice
We report the first numerical identification of a locally quantum critical
point, at which the criticality of the local Kondo physics is embedded in that
associated with a magnetic ordering. We are able to numerically access the
quantum critical behavior by focusing on a Kondo-lattice model with Ising
anisotropy. We also establish that the critical exponent for the q-dependent
dynamical spin susceptibility is fractional and compares well with the
experimental value for heavy fermions.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures; published versio

Spacetime Dependent Lagrangians and Weak-Strong Duality : Sine Gordon and Massive Thirring Models
The formalism of spacetime dependent lagrangians developed in Ref.1 is
applied to the Sine Gordon and massive Thirring models.It is shown that the
well-known equivalence of these models (in the context of weak-strong duality)
can be understood in this approach from the same considerations as described in
[1] for electromagnetic duality. A further new result is that all these can be
naturally linked to the fact that the holographic principle has analogues at
length scales much larger than quantum gravity. There is also the possibility
of {\it noncommuting coodinates} residing on the boundaries. PACS: 11.15.-q:

A computational system for aerodynamic design and analysis of supersonic aircraft. Part 2: User's manual
An integrated system of computer programs was developed for the design and analysis of supersonic configurations. The system uses linearized theory methods for the calculation of surface pressures and supersonic area rule concepts in combination with linearized theory for calculation of aerodynamic force coefficients. Interactive graphics are optional at the user's request. This user's manual contains a description of the system, an explanation of its usage, the input definition, and example output
