  • Models of Time Travel
    MODELS OF TIME TRAVEL A COMPARATIVE STUDY USING FILMS Guy Roland Micklethwait A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University July 2012 National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science ANU College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences APPENDIX I: FILMS REVIEWED Each of the following film reviews has been reduced to two pages. The first page of each of each review is objective; it includes factual information about the film and a synopsis not of the plot, but of how temporal phenomena were treated in the plot. The second page of the review is subjective; it includes the genre where I placed the film, my general comments and then a brief discussion about which model of time I felt was being used and why. It finishes with a diagrammatic representation of the timeline used in the film. Note that if a film has only one diagram, it is because the different journeys are using the same model of time in the same way. Sometimes several journeys are made. The present moment on any timeline is always taken at the start point of the first time travel journey, which is placed at the origin of the graph. The blue lines with arrows show where the time traveller’s trip began and ended. They can also be used to show how information is transmitted from one point on the timeline to another. When choosing a model of time for a particular film, I am not looking at what happened in the plot, but rather the type of timeline used in the film to describe the possible outcomes, as opposed to what happened.

  • Beyond the Final Frontier: Star Trek, the Borg and the Post-Colonial
    Beyond the Final Frontier: Star Trek, the Borg and the Post-colonial Lynette Russell and Nathan Wolski Over the last three decades, Star Trek has become, to use Bernardi's term, a "mega-text" (1998: 11). Star Trek's mega-text consists of much more than the various studio-produced television series and films - it also includes (among other things) novels, Internet chat groups, conventions and fanzines. That Star Trek's premise of space exploration is a thinly disguised metaphor for colonialism has been extensively analysed (see Bernardi, 1998; Hastie, 1996; Ono 1996; Richards, 1997). Boyd describes the utopian future presented in Star Trek the Next Generation (STNG) as based on "nineteenth-century essentialist definitions of human nature, building ... on faith in perfection, progress, social evolution, and free will" (1996: 96-97). Exploration, colonisation and assimilation are never far from the surface of the STNG text. Less apparent, however, are aspects of the series which challenge the hegemonic view of this narrative and which present a post-colonial critique. In this paper we will explore a range of post-colonial moments and an emerging self reflexivity in the second generation series, focusing on those episodes of Star Trek: the Next Generation (STNG) and Star Trek: Voyager which feature an alien race known as the Borg. Others in space Much has been written about the role of the alien in science fiction as a means of exploring issues of otherness. As Wolmark notes: "Science fiction provides a rich source of metaphors for the depiction of otherness and the 'alien' is one of the most familiar: it enables difference to be constructed in terms of binary oppositions which reinforce relations of domination and subordination" (1994: 2).

  • The Vulcan Game of Kal-Toh: Finding Or Making Triconnected Planar Subgraphs
    The Vulcan game of Kal-toh: Finding or making triconnected planar subgraphs by Terry David Anderson A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Mathematics in Computer Science Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2011 c Terry David Anderson 2011 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract In the game of Kal-toh depicted in the television series Star Trek: Voyager, players attempt to create polyhedra by adding to a jumbled collection of metal rods. Inspired by this fictional game, we formulate graph-theoretical questions about polyhedral (triconnected and planar) subgraphs in an on-line environment. The problem of determining the existence of a polyhedral subgraph within a graph G is shown to be NP-hard, and we also give some non-trivial upper bounds for the problem of determining the minimum number of edge additions necessary to guarantee the existence of a polyhedral subgraph in G. A two-player formulation of Kal-toh is also explored, in which the first player to form a target subgraph is declared the winner. We show a polynomial-time solution for simple cases of this game but conjecture that the general problem is NP-hard. iii Acknowledgements I am truly grateful for the unending support, encouragement, and patience of my super- visor, Therese Biedl. I would also like to thank my thesis readers, Craig Kaplan and Alex L´opez-Ortiz, for their feedback and suggestions.

    Faculty of Arts & Sciences April 01, 2014, 3:30 – 5:00 pm Tidewater A, Sadler Center Dean Kate Conley called the meeting to order at 3:37 p.m. Attendance at the start of the meeting: 32 (no quorum, so we can hear reports but we cannot vote on anything – everyone loves reports, yes?) I. The minutes from March 11, 2014 were not approved (they were not even raised for discussion) the Secretary does not blame you, especially those of you who actually read her minutes. In the meantime, please note the following corrigenda. The mysterious Mikes were Michael Deschenes (Kinesiology) and – Mike Tierney (Government); further, Liz was not Liz Francis (Biology – not sure where that name came from) but rather Liz(abeth) Allison (Biology), who is in fact the chair, as the Secretary may have noticed had there been less haste (festina lente, as they say), and Herr Professor‐at‐the‐Back‐of‐the‐Room was none other than our very own award‐ winning Professor Paul Mapp. The secretary also regrets the slip of John for Tom Linneman (again, too much haste), with sincere thanks to Debbie Bebout (Chemistry) and John Gilmour (Government) – in alphabetical order – for the corrigenda. Perhaps the minutes, as corrected here, can be approved next time, or not. Soon enough it shall fall to someone else. http://www.wm.edu/as/facultyresources/fas/minutes/index.php II.
