description: Face recognition has important applications in psychology and biometric-based authentication, which increases the need for developing automatic face identification systems. Psychologists have long been studying the link between symmetry and attractiveness of the human face, but based on qualitative human judgment alone. The use of objective facial asymmetry information in automatic face recognition tasks is relatively new. The current paper presents a statistical analysis of the role of facial asymmetry measures in face recognition, under expression variation. We first describe a baseline classification method and show that the results are comparable with those based on certain popular (non-asymmetry based) classes of features used in computer vision. We find that facial asymmetry further improves upon the classification performance of these popular features by providing complementary information. Next, we consider two resampling methods to improve upon the baseline method used in previous work, and present a detailed comparison study. We demonstrate that resampling methods succeed in obtaining near perfect classification results on a database of 55 individuals, a statistically significant improvement over the baseline method. Results regarding the role of asymmetry of different parts of the face in distinguishing between individuals, expressions and between males and females are also reported as additional aspects of the study.

SPLITTING | IMAGE : What Lies Within
Creators: name: ANGELA NOELINE BOYCE DI FRONZO
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Art

description: This Ph.D. thesis explores the development of Angela Di Fronzo’s arts practice, with specific focus on the visual symbol of the crack and its underlying significance in literary and psychoanalytic terms. Of key importance is the discussion of the interface between the conscious and unconscious minds, and the concept of internal “splitting”. This area of psychoanalytic theory is shown to hold great potential in relation to the creative arts, with examples taken from literature, film, theatre and the visual arts. This led to a new emphasis in her work exploring the phenomenon of Craquelure found in Old Master paintings, directing the research towards an original interpretation of the creative process and the work of art.

description: n his campaign for the U.S. presidency from 1975 to 1979, Ronald Reagan delivered over 1000 radio broadcasts. For over 600 of these we have direct evidence of Reagan's authorship of the text of the speeches, in the form of yellow pads, with material written ``in his own hand''. The aim of this study was to determine the authorship of 314 of the broadcasts for which no direct evidence is available.
Peter Hannaford had been Reagan's main aide in drafting texts for the radio addresses during the years 1976-79, whereas the situation was less clear in 1975, thus we learned both how to discriminate between the writing styles of Reagan and Hannaford, and we focused on stylistic differences between Reagan and the undistinguished pool of his collaborators to properly address the prediction problem for speeches delivered in different epochs. We explored a wide range of off-the-shelf classification methods as well as fully Bayesian Poisson and Negative-Binomial models for word counts. Simple majority voting reinforced the cross-validated accuracies of our predictions on speeches of known authorship, that settled beyond 90% in most cases. We produced separate sets of predictions using the most accurate classification methods and the fully Bayesian models, for the 314 speeches whose author is uncertain. All the predictions agree on 135 of the ``unknown'' speeches, whereas the fully Bayesian models agree on 289 of them. We further approximated log-odds of authorship as a measure of the strength of our predictions.
Trash as Aesthetic and Theme in Elvira Navarro's La trabajadora

Subjects: subject: Spanish literature
subject: Place (Philosophy)
subject: Twenty-first century

description: This essay focuses on one example of a collective desire to articulate new ways of thinking about and inhabiting urban space: Elvira Navarro's 2014 _La trabajadora_, a novel that directly confronts the human cost of austerity measures in Spain by addressing the indignation experienced by those whose life plans have been altered by economic instability and labor precarity. Specific attention is paid to the notable presence in contemporary works of urban social criticism of references to garbage, trash, waste, and detritus of all kinds. In many of these works, garbage and its recycling appear as recurring themes but also function at the conceptual level to propose an aesthetic all their own. _La trabajadora_ is a direct response to the material conditions of the city and serves as a prime example of art that envisions the reuse and repurposing of refuse within the urban space it occupies.

description: Le syndrome de Hurler (mucopolysaccharidose type I) est une maladie de surcharge lysosomale à transmission autosomique récessive, secondaire au déficit en alpha-Liduronidase. Ce syndrome est associé à un risque anesthésique élevé, car plusieurs anomalies anatomiques prédisposent à l’obstruction mécanique, à l’apnée du sommeil et surtout à l’intubation difficile. Ces anomalies incluent un cou court avec une mobilité limitée, l'épiglotte élevée, une fosse crânienne profonde qui rétrécit le nasopharynx, la mandibule hypoplasique, l’ankylose de l’articulation temporo-mandibulaire, l’infiltration des tissus pharyngés et du cartilage trachéal, le rétrécissement intraluminal des voies aériennes, la macroglossie, la muqueuse orale friable, l'hypertrophie amygdalienne et les sécrétions abondantes. Il n’existe pas actuellement des recommandations formelles concernant les modalités d’intubation, quoi que la littérature rapporte plusieurs techniques : laryngoscopie directe, le masque respiratoire laryngé, la vidéo laryngoscopie, l’intubation avec fibroscopie flexible, l'intubation rétrograde et dans les cas extrêmes, la trachéotomie. A travers notre observation, nous décrirons les modalités de gestion des voies aériennes supérieures ainsi que les particularités de la prise en charge anesthésique, et discuterons les différentes stratégies rapportées dans la littérature.

description: Thermophysikalische Eigenschaften der Gase Helium, Neon, Methan und Wasserdampf wurden über weite Temperaturbereiche berechnet. Für die Ermittlung der Transport- und Relaxationseigenschaften wurde die kinetische Gastheorie verwendet, die bisher auf lineare Moleküle beschränkt war und für die Berechnungen an Methan und Wasserdampf auf nichtlineare Moleküle erweitert wurde. Die benötigten Wechselwirkungspotentiale wurden für Helium, Neon und Methan mit quantenchemischen ab initio-Methoden ermittelt und für Wasser dem Schrifttum entnommen. Die berechneten Werte für die thermophysikalischen Eigenschaften stimmen sehr gut mit den besten experimentellen Daten überein.

description: We examine how inventory overproduction among high fixed costs firms affects these firms’ contemporaneous and future accounting performance, and how financial analysts and the stock market incorporate implications of these relations in their reactions. We find that higher fixed costs firms engaging in opportunistic overproduction are able to increase their contemporaneous return on assets (ROAs), but only those higher fixed costs firms that also experience inventory increases, sales declines, and issue common stock also experience declines in their future accounting performance. We further find that financial analysts are aware of this phenomenon and appropriately reduce their forecasts of future earnings per share (EPS) for higher fixed costs firms that experience sales declines and inventory increases. In general, we do not find that the stock market penalizes such opportunistic overproduction.

description: This research questions and considers historical structures of power and gender bias used within architecture, art, design, modernism and minimalism to marginalise and subordinate women from the canon. It draws upon various historical events which are expanded upon with reference to contemporary texts to take a feminist position. It considers the erasure of Eileen Gray from history and demonstrates how feminist art practices can incorporate notions of design, décor and craft as a response to the canons of architecture, modernism and minimalism. It is through reviewing these texts, movements and practices that connections are made to my art practice.

Patients et méthodes : Il s’agit d’une étude prospective, réalisée au service d’anesthésiologie de l’hôpital militaire d’instruction Med V de Rabat. Etaient inclus tous les patients prévus pour une chirurgie thyroïdienne programmée. La population était randomisée en deux groupes : groupe dexaméthasone : 8 mg de dexaméthasone administrée après l’induction et groupe contrôle: 10ml de sérum salé administrée au même moment. Le critère de jugement principal entre les deux groupes était les scores de la DPO (EVA) évalués à H0, H+4, H+8, H+12, H+24 et à H+48. Les besoins en antalgiques, les NVPO ainsi que les complications postopératoires étaient les critères de jugement secondaire. Résultats : Durant l’étude, 60 patients étaient colligés. Les scores EVA étaient plus faibles dans le groupe dexaméthasone par rapport au groupe contrôle avec une différence significative à H+8 (P=0,002), H+12 (P=0,013) et à H+24 (P=0,041). Les patients du groupe contrôle avaient consommé plus d’antalgiques de complément que ceux du groupe dexamethasone durant les premières 24H (P=0,035). L’incidence des NVPO était plus faible dans le groupe dexamethasone avec une différence significative (P=0,046). Aucune complication n’était notée dans les deux groupes. Conclusion : L’injection d’une dose unique de 8mg de dexaméthasone permet de réduire la DPO après une thyroïdectomie de même que les besoins en antalgiques et les NVPO.

Constructing Narratives Framed by the Stadium
Creators: name: PAULA JAYNE HUNT
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: Art

description: The aim of this research is to create new non-linear narratives that reflect our contemporary position in history by re-structuring existing narratives generated from within the stadium, a space marked by an often-contradictory duality. Artworks that use a process of accumulation of archival material are investigated, as is the influence of the accessible, if unreliable, archive of the Internet. When constructing new narratives from existing material simultaneity—through montage—can open up gaps for alternative readings. I explore two forms of montage: “horizontal” moving-image montage created using downloaded video; and “coexistence” achieved through a sequence of posters.
Causing the Present to Pass: Autonomy, Criticality & the Impasse of Contemporary Art
Creators: name: Edmiston, Marnie
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Contemporary art has become the automatic context in which all art made now has to operate. Once an empty temporal signifier, it is now clear that contemporary art—as the dominant configuration of art practice and institutions—imparts presuppositions at all levels of the art world. These presuppositions, while sometimes obvious, are otherwise transmitted implicitly through the operations of gallery networks, art discourse and educational institutions. Any artist practicing today is subject to the principles of contemporary art, and consequently must engage with them.
 Drawing on work by art historians and theorists Rex Butler, Suhail Malik, Andrew McNamara and Peter Osborne, this exegesis contends that contemporary art, through its misunderstanding and subsequent rejection of the principle of “autonomy,” and encouragement of non-oppositional forms of “criticality,” renders itself both incapable of critical efficacy, and susceptible to the incorporation of neoliberal ideology.
 Approaching this discourse as an artist, I seek to address the gap between historical accounts and practice, specifically asking how artists can retain a sense of autonomy and effective critical function for their artwork, without succumbing to reductive or simplified interpretations. Through a revision of autonomy, I suggest that the critical capacity of art practice can be reinstated, but that this entails artists re-engaging with art discourse, and re-affirming the institutional nature of art practice. Furthermore, I suggest that a re-interpretation of Gilles Deleuze’s philosophy—whose dominant interpretations have to some extent abetted contemporary art’s obsession with dissolving boundaries—enables a productive method for thinking the autonomy of the artwork.

Towards improving the teaching of critical reading skills in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) tertiary classes in Indonesia: an analysis of a reading curriculum
Creators: name: Surjosuseno, Tjahjaning
Publisher: name: CQUniversity
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 390108
subject: LOTE, ESL and TESOL curriculum and pedagogy

description: This study focuses on the teaching of English as a foreign language to tertiary students in Indonesia. More specifically, it examines the reading curriculum of Widya Mandala Catholic University to determine its effectiveness in improving learners' critical reading skills. It argues that the results of such an analysis can give a valuable insight into how to improve the reading skills of tertiary learners in other higher education institutions in Indonesia.A review of the literature on critical reading in tertiary EFL classes showed a lack of research in this area, but a significant amount of research in areas closely related to the topic. An exploration of these areas led to the development of a conceptual framework that drew together important elements of the critical reading process from the literature. The framework was used to provide a structure for the research methodology of the study. Two subjects from the reading curriculum were analyzed using a process of content analysis. Elements of the curriculum including the goals and objectives, the content, teaching strategies and evaluation items were analysed. The results of the content analysis revealed that the curriculum did little to improve the critical reading abilities of learners. On the contrary, the restrictive nature of the curriculum in general and the reading material in particular, combine to reinforce a dependence on lower order thinking skills or rote learning.Using the results of the content analysis in conjunction with the conceptual framework developed from the literature, the study offers a critique of the present reading curriculum and offers suggestions for the short and long term improvements to the teaching of critical reading skills to EFL tertiary students in Indonesia

The Cat and the Whale (with a bridge between them, Alexander for A and B)
Creators: name: Deerson, Melissa
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This research initiates an investigation into and critique of human/non-human binaries through the process of fieldwork and the role of artist-as-researcher. In this research, I attempt to reevaluate the ontological centralisation of the human while still giving weight to my own body/experience as a human animal.
 This exegesis is split into three separate but still linked sections about animals and some of the ways Western humans position ourselves in relation to them. The first chapter is about Mike, a cat who guarded the front gate of the British Museum in the early years of the twentieth century; the second chapter is an annotated version of a script I wrote based on medieval images of Alexander the Great exploring in a glass barrel under the sea; and the third chapter is about being inside a whale.
 Much of the artwork and writing in this research project manifests from travel to see particular artworks or places of artistic significance in person. Instead of treating these objects in isolation or as autonomous works, I have chosen to embed them or bracket them within wider fields – translating academic conventions and methodologies through the personal, the fictive and the conversational, and foregrounding my own ‘voice,’ body, or an imaginative version of this. In doing so, I am attempting to signpost the structures and limits within which my own research resides in order to critique the idea of an ‘objective’ researcher. As such, I view my research as a type of poetic or artistic ‘fieldwork,’ where the researcher is not removed from her subject, but is enmeshed and complicit in its construction. I thus attempt to construct a form of critical, poetic (field) research, which extends throughout my work ‘on the ground,’ writing, lectures, performances, videos, drawings and sound.

Le cuir chevelu est un site de prélèvement facile et très apprécié en particulier chez l'enfant. De morbidité faible, il ne laisse aucune séquelle, à condition de le réaliser correctement. Technique: Nous décrivons la technique chirurgicale d'un prélèvement de peau mince au niveau du cuir chevelu pour la couverture d'une perte de substance cutanée suite à une brûlure thermique. Nous insistons sur les étapes importantes quant à la bonne réalisation de celle-ci, ainsi que les gestes à éviter. Conclusion: le cuir chevelu est un site donneur orivilégié surtout chez l'enfant. Il présente de nombreux avantages: facilité de prélèvement, quantité de peau mobilisable... Sa réalisation doit néanmoins être parfaite sous peine de séquelles importantes: alopécie, cicatrice de peau glabre, folliculite...

description: Beginnend mit den Möglichkeiten der digitalen Datenerfassung analoger kartographischer Arbeiten und deren unter Umständen notwendigen digitalen Restaurierung werden Verfahren zur Einbindung von Altkarten in Geoinformationssysteme vorgestellt. Innerhalb dieses Kernpunktes wird gleichzeitig auf den qualitativen Aspekt der metrischen Genauigkeit zusammen mit einer zweckmäßigen Darstellung eingegangen. Neben diesem Qualitätskriterium werden die Karten aus dem Blickwinkel der topographischen und kartographischen Eigenschaften beleuchtet.
Molecular mechanisms controlling the tissue-specific activity of the nutritionally regulated promoter I of the acetyl-CoA carboxylase-alpha encoding gene in cattle

description: We analyzed molecular mechanisms controlling the activity of the nutritionally regulated promoter I (PI) of the bovine acetyl-CoA-carboxylase-alpha gene. PI-activity is driven by NF-Y and C/EBP factors having bound to high affinity sites on the proximal PI. However, both factors may also bind to low affinity sites on the distal PI. From there, they act as repressors of PI. We found that NF-Y may diminish and block C/EBP-beta mediated PI activation, even in trans, through direct factor interaction. Alterations in the concentrations of both factors apparently regulate the tissue specific PI-activity.

description: Le syndrome d'allergie multiple aux medicaments est une entite rare. Il est défini par une possibilité à réagir contre différents médicaments. L’incidence de ce syndrome d’allergie médicamenteuse multiple reste peu connue. Le diagnostic repose sur les données cliniques et tests cutanés. La prise en charge anesthésique de ce syndrome reste problématique. Le choc anaphylactique reste la principale complication. La technique anesthésique devrait éviter tous les médicaments pour lesquels les tests cutanés sont positifs. A travers un cas clinique et une revue de la littérature, les auteurs discutent les mécanismes et les principes de prise en charge de ce syndrome.

The role of NF-kappaB and C/EBP factors during pathogen-mediated activation of bovine interleukin 8 and beta-defensin in mammary epithelial cells

Publisher: name: Universität Rostock

Subjects: subject: 570 Life science

description: Molecular mechanisms of pathogen-induced activation of the IL-8 and LAP genes were investigated in Mammary Epithelial Cells. Activity of the resting IL-8 promoter is inhibited by NF-kappaB p65, but activated quickly after pathogen contact by C/EBP factors. Conversely, NF-kappaB p65 drives LAP expression some time after pathogen induction, while C/EBP factors attenuate activity of this promoter. Hence, in the very same cell type NF-kappaB p65 and C/EBP factors antagonistically regulate both immune relevant genes before and after pathogen mediated stimulation.

description: Antithrombin (AT) als endogener Mediator sowohl des koagulatorischen als auch inflammatorischen Systems wurde verwendet, um die mikrovaskuläre Interaktion von Gerinnung und Entzündung genauer zu analysieren. Im Mikrozirkulationsmodell im M. cremaster der Maus wurde mit FeCl3 Superfusion und dem light-dye Modell eine Thrombose induziert. Neben AT wurden Indomethacin, Heparin und Tryptophan49-blockiertes AT untersucht. Aus dem Resultat der Experimente lässt sich schlussfolgern, dass der antikoagulatorische Wirkeffekt von AT entscheidend von dessen antiinflammatorischen Mechanismen abhängt.

description: Learning Labour explores the ethical and aesthetic realm where my teaching and art practice intersect. Whilst employed as Performance Arts Teacher at Collingwood College I formed the Collingwood College Theatre Troupe, which became the case study for this research. Through the research I contemplate agonistic approaches to formal and informal learning, on the part of both teacher and students, through an ethical lens. As a result, an ‘exhibition project’ is created, which looks closely at the production of a theatrical work, its context and delivery, processes, aesthetics, its politics and its motivations.

 The research has involved observing, and at times challenging, the parameters of student and teacher behaviours within the state education system. This has entailed navigating the tension between ethics and creative determination, and transgressing conventions of teaching by situating the project in a field of cultural production outside the educational setting.

 The project draws into focus the agonistic learning that can happen within schools as a positive outcome of criticality in education. Through the production of a socially-engaged theatrical work, this research evaluates the child and indeed the education system as political subjects; the social hierarchies of the pedagogical that are learnt implicitly or explicitly through the ‘hidden curriculum’; how self-organised and anti-democratic processes engender agonism and antagonism within an educational setting; and the complexity of the ethics of representing co-authored work in a University research context.

description: : Sharp-tooth catfish with initial average weight of 280.95g were fed one of the four iso-nitrogenous diets with inclusion levels of 0 g/kg, 50g/kg, 100g/kg, and 150 g/kg of African winged termite meal (TM) as fishmeal replacement for 105 days. Results revealed that all the feeding groups exhibited similar (P>0.05) growth parameters and nutrient digestibility of crude protein, crude lipid, amino and fatty acids. Feeding with different inclusion levels of termite meal did not negatively affect growth parameters such as daily growth, specific growth, feed conversion, visceral somatic index, condition factor as well as nutrient digestibility index of the fish. The study therefore concludes that diets prepared with TM can successfully be used to promote growth performance and nutrient digestibility of the Sharp-tooth catfish. Key words: Aquaculture, aquafeed, termite meal, growth of catfish.

description: The project Freedom and Association is a flexible, fluid, and personal investment in practice that loosens forms of language and opens up structures of value that cohere onto words and objects.
 The non-fixed, process-based nature of the practical component of the research is extended in an understanding of post anarchism - as an ongoing, lived experience of the everyday and of friendship. I define anarchism as the rejection of dominant power structures and as pertaining to shifts in the formal and cultural values in creative writing and art. Post anarchism extends on this as an anarchism practiced in everyday interactions.
 Social values signified in the ‘made’ and ‘bought’ are challenged through the practical component of the research, utilising scatter installations to question how an object’s financial value can subjectively shift. Formal and emotional relationships with materials are challenged through the use of discarded commercial goods and tools acquired from multiple sources, as well as the giving away, rather than selling, of artworks. In poetry the practical research also aims to loosen the values of words, liberating them from formal sentence structures in free associative messes, or extended graffiti. Does poetry in the context of my practice operate as art? Is graffiti poetry? Are scatter installations a poetry of objects?
 The research engages post anarchism as a flexible way for living, rather than anarchy as a utopian political ideal. I explore post anarchism as a tactic for resistance, but also a tactic for creative freedom within art practice. Within contemporary art practice it is near impossible not to participate in neoliberalism, but harnessing various tactics to cope with or challenge structures of power can create at least some sense of freedom, as fleeting or momentary as it may be.
Asset Liquidity and Stock Liquidity

description: We study the balance sheet of liquidity: the relation between the liquidity of the firm's assets and the liquidity of financial claims on the assets, thereby linking corporate finance decisions to stock liquidity. Our model highlights an ambiguous relationship. While greater asset liquidity reduces uncertainty regarding valuation of assets-in-place, it increases future investments and the associated uncertainty. The model shows that asset liquidity improves stock liquidity more for firms which are less likely to reinvest their liquid assets, i.e., firms with less growth opportunities and financially constrained firms. Empirically, we find a positive and economically large relation between asset liquidity and stock liquidity. Consistent with our model, the relation is stronger for firms with low growth opportunities and for financially constrained firms. The relation between asset liquidity and stock liquidity that we uncover sheds new light on the importance of financial frictions for firm investment policy, the tendency of managers to overinvest, and on the value of holding liquid assets.
