Quark-Gluon Plasma as the Possible Source of Cosmological Dark Radiation
The effective number of neutrinos, , obtained from CMB
fluctuations accounts for all effectively massless degrees of freedom present
in the Universe, including but not limited to the three known neutrinos. Using
a lattice-QCD derived QGP equation of state, we constrain the observed range of
in terms of the the freeze-out of unknown degrees of freedom
near to quark-gluon hadronization. We explore limits on the coupling of these
particles, applying methods of kinetic theory. We present bounds on the
coupling of such particles and discuss the implications of a connection between
and the QGP transformation for laboratory studies of QGP.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure
Subjective skeletal discomfort measured using a comfort questionnaire following a load carriage exercise
Objective: Limited research has been conducted into the effect of load carriage on discomfort and injuries. This study aimed to determine the skeletal discomfort for part-time soldiers who completed a 1-hour field march carrying 24 kg.
Methods: A postmarch comfort questionnaire was completed by 127 participants, with exercise withdrawals and postmarch injuries also recorded.
Results: The foot was subjectively rated as the most uncomfortable skeletal region. Females reported hip discomfort to be significantly greater than males. The military experience of participants had no difference on the mean perceived comfort ratings of any of the measured regions. Finally, only one participant withdrew from the exercise, with no participants reporting a load carriage injury in the 2 to 3 days proceeding the exercise Conclusions: This study concludes that although a 1-hour period of load carriage causes noteworthy discomfort it is not sufficient to result in noncompletion of a military exercise or cause injury
Melbourne’s high rise apartment boom
This report documents the scale of the Melbourne’s recent inner-city high rise apartment boom and the scale of its likely further expansion.
It shows that it is an investor led boom, which is disconnected from any underlying increased preference for apartment living. It is delivering thousands of tiny apartments which reflect developers’ interest in maximising the number that can be packed into the building site and investors’ preferences for an apartment product selling for less than $500,000. The report examines the social and economic consequences of the boom for Melbourne
