Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis is a theoretical inquiry into the construct of pattern across fields of knowledge to highlight elements of patterning that are intrinsically similar. In the first stage of this inquiry, a comparison of pattern recognition, a neuropsychological construct based on the work of Goldberg (2005), and pattern as defined in the field of mathematics education, generated a tentative generalised model of patterning (McCluskey, Mitchelmore, & Mulligan, 2013). This model was proposed to describe the nature of patterning across both domains of knowledge. A subsequent analysis of patterning across broader fields of cognitive neuroscience and the psychology of mathematics education supported a more generalised view of patterning within and beyond mathematical thinking. In mathematics education, generalisations about concepts are formed through identification of patterns and relationships and the capacity to reason. Therefore in the next stage of this research I undertook a content analysis of key terms to highlight the incidence of the proficiency-reasoning developed throughout the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics. A dynamic view of the role of reasoning within the proficiencies, connected with the authors' initial generalised model of patterning (McCluskey, Mitchelmore, & Mulligan, 2013) is therefore proposed to support the further development of generalised understandings in mathematics education.

description: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma, the most common type of renal cancer, is associated with poor survival. Ubiquitin-specific peptidase 2 regulates the molecular mechanisms of cancer cells. However, its mechanism in clear cell renal cell carcinoma remains unclear. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and immunohistochemistry were performed to assess ubiquitin-specific peptidase 2 expression in human clear cell renal cell carcinoma samples. Ubiquitin-specific peptidase 2 was weakly expressed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma samples and associated with poor patient outcomes. Ubiquitin-specific peptidase 2 inhibition promoted clear cell renal cell carcinoma cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Ubiquitin-specific peptidase 2 overexpression inhibited clear cell renal cell carcinoma cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro and in vivo. RNA-sequencing showed significant changes in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related pathways following ubiquitin-specific peptidase 2 knockdown. Western blotting was performed to detect the protein expression levels. Expression of p-nuclear factor-κB p65, N-cadherin, Vimentin, and Snail, which were markedly increased, as well as E-cadherin, which was decreased following ubiquitin-specific peptidase 2 knockdown. Rescue experiments using the nuclear factor-κB inhibitor BAY 11–7082 revealed that the migration and invasion abilities and the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition pathway proteins were inhibited in both the short hairpin RNA (shRNA) for ubiquitin-specific peptidase 2 and shRNA for negative control groups. Ubiquitin-specific peptidase 2 is a potential biomarker to distinguish clear cell renal cell carcinoma patients from healthy individuals. Ubiquitin-specific peptidase 2-mediated inhibition of epithelial-mesenchymal transition in clear cell renal cell carcinoma cells is dependent on the nuclear factor-κB pathway.

description: In the study of cultural evolution, observed among-group affinity patterns reflect the effects of processes such as mutation (e.g. innovation and copying error), between-group interaction (culture flow), drift and selection. As in biology, cultural affinity patterns are often spatially correlated, making it difficult to distinguish between the opposing geographically mediated forces of divergence and interaction, which cause groups to become more distinct or similar over time, respectively. Analogous difficulties are faced by evolutionary biologists examining the relationship between biological affinity and geography, particularly at lower taxonomic levels where the potential for gene flow between lineages is greatest. Tree models are generally used to assess the fit between affinity patterns and models of historical divergence. However, factors driving lineage divergence are often spatially mediated, resulting in tree models that are themselves geographically structured. Here, we showcase a simple method drawn from evolutionary ecology for assessing the relative impact of both geographically mediated processes simultaneously. We illustrate the method using global human craniometric diversity and material culture from the northern coast of New Guinea as example case-studies. This method can be employed to quantify the relative importance of history (divergence) and geographically mediated between-group interaction (culture flow) in explaining observed cultural affinity patterns.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Bridging cultural gaps: interdisciplinary studies in human cultural evolution’.

description: Extrusion based 3D Printing (E3DP) is an Additive Manufacturing (AM) technique that extrudes thermoplastic polymer in order to build up components using a layerwise approach. Hereby, AM typically requires long production times in comparison to mass production processes such as Injection Molding. Failures during the AM process are often only noticed after build completion and frequently lead to part rejection because of dimensional inaccuracy or lack of mechanical performance, resulting in an important loss of time and material. A solution to improve the accuracy and robustness of a manufacturing technology is the integration of sensors to monitor and control process state-variables online. In this way, errors can be rapidly detected and possibly compensated at an early stage. To achieve this, we integrated a modular 2D laser triangulation scanner into an E3DP machine and analyzed feedback signals. A 2D laser triangulation scanner was selected here owing to the very compact size, achievable accuracy and the possibility of capturing geometrical 3D data. Thus, our implemented system is able to provide both quantitative and qualitative information. Also, in this work, first steps towards the development of a quality control loop for E3DP processes are presented and opportunities are discussed.

description: Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 gene (PVT1) is related to the progress of various cancers. Here, we illuminated the role of PVT1 in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cell proliferation and apoptosis. PVT1 was upregulated in plasma samples from patients with ALL and ALL cell lines. PVT1 silencing repressed cell viability and enhanced cell apoptosis in Jurkat and SUP-B15 cells. PVT1 targeted microRNA-486-5p (miR-486-5p) and negatively modulated miR-486-5p expression. Upregulation of miR-486-5p decreased cell viability and increased ALL cell apoptosis. Mastermind Like Transcriptional Coactivator 3 (MAML3) was a downstream molecule of miR-486-5p and miR-486-5p mimic transfection weakened its expression in ALL cells. Rescue experiments proved that reintroduction of PVT1 counteracted the impacts of miR-486-5p in ALL cell proliferation and apoptosis. In vivo, PVT1 silencing repressed the tumor growth of SUP-B15 cells and reduced the expression of MAML3. Altogether, silencing of PVT1 inhibited ALL cell growth and induced cell apoptosis through sponging miR-486-5p.

description: We propose and analyze a protocol to generate two dimensional tensor network states using a single quantum system that sequentially interacts with a 1D string of qubits. This is accomplished by using parts of the string itself as a quantum queue memory. As a physical implementation, we consider a single atom or atom like system coupled to a 1D waveguide with a distant mirror, where guided photons represent the qubits while the mirror allows the implementation of the queue memory. We identify the class of many-body quantum states that can be produced using this approach. These include universal resources for measurement based quantum computation and states associated with topologically ordered phases. We discuss an explicit protocol to deterministically create a 2D cluster state in a quantum nanophotonic experiment, that allows for a realization of a quantum computer using a single atom coupled to light.

description: We present a significantly different reflection process from an optically thin flat metallic or dielectric layer and propose a strikingly simple method to form approximately unipolar half-cycle optical pulses via reflection of a single-cycle optical pulse. Unipolar pulses in reflection arise due to specifics of effectively one-dimensional pulse propagation. Namely, we show that in considered system the field emitted by a flat medium layer is proportional to the velocity of oscillating medium charges instead of their acceleration as it is usually the case. When the single-cycle pulse interacts with linear optical medium, the oscillation velocity of medium charges can be then forced to keep constant sign throughout the pulse duration. Our results essentially differ from the direct mirror reflection and suggest a possibility of unusual transformations of the few-cycle light pulses in linear optical systems.

description: We map the quantum entanglement problem onto the mathematically well-studied truncated moment problem. This yields a necessary and sufficient condition for separability that can be checked by a hierarchy of semi-definite programs. The algorithm always gives a certificate of entanglement if the state is entangled. If the state is separable, typically a certificate of separability is obtained in a finite number of steps and an explicit decomposition into separable pure states can be extracted.

description: With the publicly available astrophysical simulation framework for propagating extraterrestrial UHE particles, CRPropa 3, it is now possible to study realistic UHECR source scenarios including deflections in Galactic and extragalactic magnetic fields in an efficient way. Here we discuss three recent studies that have already been done in that direction. The first one investigates what can be expected in the case of maximum allowed intergalactic magnetic fields. Here is shown that, even if voids contain strong magnetic fields, deflections of protons with energies $\gtrsim 60 \; \text{EeV}$ from nearby sources might be small enough to allow for UHECR astronomy. The second study looks into several scenarios with a smaller magnetization focusing on large-scale anisotropies. Here is shown that the local source distribution can have a more significant effect on the large-scale anisotropy than the EGMF model. A significant dipole component could, for instance, be explained by a dominant source within 5 Mpc distance. The third study looks into whether UHECRs can come from local radio galaxies. If this is the case it is difficult to reproduce the observed low level of anisotropy. Therefore is concluded that the magnetic field strength in voids in the EGMF model used here is too low and/or there are additional sources of UHECRs that were not taken into account in these simulations.

description: This dissertation argues that shifting secular conversion therapy practices and theories in North America between 1910 and 1980 consistently relied on both queer affective experience and anti-queer and anti-trans animus to justify often brutalizing medical interventions. Canadian and American conversion therapists’ pathologizing views of queer sexual behavior and gender identity were shaped by complex interplays between cultural, legal, social, and medical perspectives, but predominately worked to uphold heteronormative social structures leading to discrimination, hate, and harm towards queer people in both countries. Focusing on affect thereby encourages scholars to recognize how conversion therapies in all their variable historical permutations are both medical and cultural practices that have attempted to use queer patients’ affective needs for acceptance, love, safety, and validation in ways advancing anti-gay and anti-trans social narratives in purportedly therapeutic settings since the early twentieth century.This research uses a transnational approach that is at once sensitive to national differences between the American and Canadian queer experience while looking to draw connections between conversion therapy’s development and individual experiences of this practice in two national contexts over time. It additionally pays careful attention to the ways social power hierarchies based on race and class informed individuals’ affective experiences of conversion therapy between 1910 and 1980.

description: Este artigo foi elaborado de acordo com os critérios de uma Revisão Sistemática da Literatura, em que foi utilizada a base de dados ERIC para coletar as pesquisas realizadas a respeito do impacte da autoeficácia no desempenho académico de estudantes universitários. A autoeficácia define-se como a crença que um estudante tem na sua capacidade de execução de uma tarefa. Para isso, foram analisados 9 artigos que atendiam aos critérios de inclusão pré-definidos nesta investigação. Os resultados empíricos sugerem que é fundamental a compreensão dos fatores que influenciam o desempenho académico, sejam eles de ordem psicológica ou não psicológica. Nos fatores psicológicos, é importante observar a predominância de subcategorias relacionadas ao autoconhecimento e autocontrole, como lócus de controle interno, autorregulação, autogestão, orientação para o futuro e consciência metacognitiva. Os fatores não psicológicos, há aqueles imutáveis, como género biológico, e aqueles em que a mudança ocorre muito lentamente e não depende do indivíduo, como a cultura. Com base nos resultados desta revisão, sugere-se novas pesquisas para investigar especificamente o desempenho académico e as variáveis que se relacionam significativamente com a autoeficácia.

These coordinates are used to build a metric similar to that describing a cosmic string. On this basis, Dirac and Klein-Gordon oscillators are investigated. Their spectrum and dynamics are analysed giving rise to novel interesting properties.

description: We analysed the patterns of coordination of striking movement and perceptuomotor control of stone hammers in wild bearded capuchin monkeys, Sapajus libidinosus as they cracked open palm nut using hammers of different mass, a habitual behaviour in our study population. We aimed to determine why these monkeys cannot produce conchoidally fractured flakes as do contemporary human knappers or as did prehistoric hominin knappers. We found that the monkeys altered their patterns of coordination of movement to accommodate changes in hammer mass. By altering their patterns of coordination, the monkeys kept the strike's amplitude and the hammer's velocity at impact constant with respect to hammer mass. In doing so, the hammer's kinetic energy at impact—which determines the propagation of a fracture/crack in a nut—varied across hammers of different mass. The monkeys did not control the hammer's kinetic energy at impact, the key parameter a perceiver-actor should control while knapping stones. These findings support the hypothesis that the perceptuomotor control of stone hammers in wild bearded capuchin monkeys is inadequate to produce conchoidally fractured flakes by knapping stones, as do humans.

description: Large industrial systems that combine services and applications, have become targets for cyber criminals and are challenging from the security, monitoring and auditing perspectives. Security log analysis is a key step for uncovering anomalies, detecting intrusion, and enabling incident response. The constant increase of link speeds, threats and users, produce large volumes of log data and become increasingly difficult to analyse on a Central Processing Unit (CPU). This paper presents a massively parallel Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) LOg Processing (GLoP) library and can also be used for Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), using a prefix matching technique, harvesting the full power of off-the-shelf technologies. GLoP implements two different algorithm using different GPU memory and is compared against CPU counterpart implementations. The library can be used for processing nodes with single or multiple GPUs as well as GPU cloud farms. The results show throughput of 20Gbps and demonstrate that modern GPUs can be utilised to increase the operational speed of large scale log processing scenarios, saving precious time before and after an intrusion has occurred.

description: In the present study, we aimed to investigate the role of long non-coding RNA terminal differentiation-induced non-coding RNA (TINCR) in cisplatin (DDP) resistance of choroidal melanoma (CM) and the potential molecular mechanisms. CM and non-CM tissues were collected from 60 CM patients. DDP-resistant CM cells were obtained by selection with linearly increased DDP treatment. The expression levels of TINCR, microR-19b-3p (miR-19b-3p), and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 2 (ERK-2) were detected by quantitative real-time PCR. Cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) assay was utilized to detect chemosensitivity and cell viability. Flow cytometry analysis was performed to detect apoptotic cells. The protein levels of Bax, Bcl-2, cleaved-caspase-3, ERK-2, and nuclear factor-kappa B p65 were measured by Western blot. RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and dual-luciferase reporter assays were performed to determine the relationship among TINCR, miR-19b-3p, and ERK-2. The results showed that the levels of TINCR and ERK-2 were markedly increased in DDP-resistant CM tissues and cells, while miR-19b-3p level was significantly reduced. TINCR knockdown reduced DDP resistance and cell viability and promoted cell apoptosis, while TINCR overexpression exhibited opposite effects. TINCR and ERK-2 were direct targets of miR-19b-3p. Further experiments revealed that TINCR enhanced DDP resistance in CM cells by regulating the miR-19b-3p/ERK-2/NF-kb axis. Taken together, our study revealed a critical role of TINCR in regulating DDP resistance in CM and suggested that TINCR is a potential cisplatin-resistant CM therapeutic target.

description: The physical properties of an intermetallic compound CeRh2Ga2 have been investigated by magnetic susceptibility χ(T), isothermal magnetization M(H), heat capacity C_p(T), electrical resistivity ρ(T), thermal conductivity κ(T) and thermopower S(T) measurements. CeRh2Ga2 is found to crystallize with CaBe2Ge2-type primitive tetragonal structure (space group P4/nmm). No evidence of long range magnetic order is seen down to 1.8 K. The χ(T) data show paramagnetic behavior with an effective moment μ_eff ~ 2.5 μ_B/Ce indicating Ce^3+ valence state of Ce ions. The ρ(T) data exhibit Kondo lattice behavior with a metallic ground state. The low-T C_p(T) data yield an enhanced Sommerfeld coefficient γ= 130(2) mJ/mol K^2 characterizing CeRh2Ga2 as a moderate heavy fermion system. The high-T C_p(T) and ρ(T) show an anomaly near 255 K, reflecting a phase transition. The κ(T) suggests phonon dominated thermal transport with considerably higher values of Lorenz number L(T) compared to the theoretical Sommerfeld value L_0.

Quantitative haemodynamic research on the treatment outcome assessment following extracranial-intra-cranial bypass surgery for Moyamoya disease
Creators: name: Zhu, Fengping
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass surgery is the mainstay of treatment for Moyamoya disease (MMD) which is characterised by progressive steno-occlusive changes of the arteries around the circle of Willis by augmenting cerebral blood flow to the brain. However, bypass failure, postoperative bleeding and cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) are common complications following the bypass procedures. Emerging evidence reveals that vessel remodelling and haemodynamic changes of the cerebral circulation play pathogenic roles for postoperative complications aforementioned. This study aimed to use different quantitative haemodynamic techniques, mainly computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and intraoperative perfusion weighted imaging (PWI) to estimate the haemodynamic changes after EC-IC bypass surgery, thereby aid in our understanding of the influence of haemodynamic parameters on the treatment outcomes after bypass procedures, as well as prevention of postoperative complications. Cerebrovascular haemodynamic changes of MMD patients immediately after bypass surgery were confirmed using intraoperative PWI. Immediate great increase of relative cerebral blood flow at middle cerebral artery (MCA)-terminal territory measured using intraoperative PWI might be a sensitive parameter for indicating postoperative CHS. There are vessel auto-remodelling of both superficial temporal artery (STA)-MCA bypass graft and internal carotid artery (ICA). STA-MCA bypass has a characteristic remodelling that usually reduces the flow resistance after surgery. The initial morphology of bypass has a significant effect on the outcome of bypass patency. The remodelling of ICA after bypass is associated with reduction in the volume flow rate and pressure drop, of which the percentage changes are correlated with angiographic treatment outcome grading. Pressure drop index might be regarded as a quantitative haemodynamic indicator for predicting treatment outcome during the follow-up of MMD patients.

description: Humans perceive the world through multiple senses, enabling them to create a comprehensive representation of their surroundings and to generalize information across domains. For instance, when a textual description of a scene is given, humans can mentally visualize it. In fields like robotics and Reinforcement Learning (RL), agents can also access information about the environment through multiple sensors; yet redundancy and complementarity between sensors is difficult to exploit as a source of robustness (e.g. against sensor failure) or generalization (e.g. transfer across domains). Prior research demonstrated that a robust and flexible multimodal representation can be efficiently constructed based on the cognitive science notion of a 'Global Workspace': a unique representation trained to combine information across modalities, and to broadcast its signal back to each modality. Here, we explore whether such a brain-inspired multimodal representation could be advantageous for RL agents. First, we train a 'Global Workspace' to exploit information collected about the environment via two input modalities (a visual input, or an attribute vector representing the state of the agent and/or its environment). Then, we train a RL agent policy using this frozen Global Workspace. In two distinct environments and tasks, our results reveal the model's ability to perform zero-shot cross-modal transfer between input modalities, i.e. to apply to image inputs a policy previously trained on attribute vectors (and vice-versa), without additional training or fine-tuning. Variants and ablations of the full Global Workspace (including a CLIP-like multimodal representation trained via contrastive learning) did not display the same generalization abilities.

description: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-derived exosomes (Exo) are beneficial in the use of brain damages. Restrictively, the mechanism of Exo expressing miR-124-3p in hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) is not completely comprehended. Thereupon, this work was put forward to reveal the action of bone marrow MSCs-derived Exo (BMSCs-Exo) expressing miR-124-3p in the illness. BMSCs were isolated and transfected with miR-124-3p agomir. Then, BMSCs-Exo were extracted and identified. The newborn HIBD rats were injected with miR-124-3p-modified BMSCs-Exo or tumor necrosis factor receptor associated factor 6 (TRAF6)-related vectors. Next, neurological functions, neuron pathological and structural damages, oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis were observed. miR-124-3p and TRAF6 expression was tested, along with their targeting relationship. miR-124-3p was down-regulated, and TRAF6 was up-regulated in newborn HIBD rats. miR-124-3p targeted TRAF6. BMSCs-Exo improved neurological functions, alleviated neuron pathological and structural damages, suppressed oxidative stress and reduced neuronal apoptosis in newborn HIBD rats, whereas BMSCs-Exo-mediated effects were enhanced by restoring miR-124-3p. Silencing TRAF6 attenuated HIBD in newborn rats, but overexpression of TRAF6 reversed the protective role of miR-124-3p-overexpressing BMSCs-Exo. This work makes it comprehensive that up-regulated exosomal miR-124-3p ameliorates HIBD in newborn rats by targeting TRAF6, which replenishes the potential agents for curing HIBD.
