description: This thesis looks at copyright reversion: returning copyright to authors after a particular time or other circumstance, so they can take advantage of new opportunities like ebooks and audiobooks to make more money and make their works more available to the public. It shows that publishing contracts aren’t enough when it comes to giving authors these rights. It then looks at the rest of the world for lessons on the types of reversion laws we could implement so authors are better-placed to take these new opportunities.

description: For the first time, the neutron optical wall-potential of natural cubic boron nitride (cBN) was measured at the ultracold neutron (UCN) source of the research reactor TRIGA Mainz using the time-of-flight method (TOF). The samples investigated had a wall-potential of (305 +/- 15) neV. This value is in good agreement with the result extracted from neutron reflectometry data and theoretical expectations. Because of its high critical velocity for UCN and its good dielectric characteristics, cubic boron nitride coatings (isotopically enriched) will be useful for a number of applications in UCN experiments.
Performance appraisal of a four-stroke hydrogen internal combustion engine
Creators: name: Burke, PH
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Fossil fuel depletion and environmental factors had lead the search for alternative transportation fuels. One such alternative is hydrogen. Of the potential transportation fuels of the future hydrogen is the only one which is both sustainable and environmentally friendly. A good understanding of the quantitative and qualitative trends are available in the literature, for petrol driven vehicles, as established knowledge. However, understanding of the near zero emissions and associated conversion technology, using hydrogen as fuel, has been in the domain of few automotive applications around the world. This work is aimed at converting a commercially available vehicle to operate on hydrogen as a design and manufacturing exercise to showcase the use of alternative fuel. The chosen vehicle is the Honda CT110 motor bike or better known as the Australia Post `postie bike'. In this thesis, a rigorous design process for conversion to hydrogen is proposed and implemented from first principles. The test rig development associated with the calculations for fuel flow rates and associated engine management systems are an integral part of this overall systematic design. As part of the investigation an innovative fuel injection system together with fuel-air-intake system is designed and incorporated. Traditional problems with pre-ignition in hydrogen engines are found to be minimized by developed systematic design techniques. As part of this investigation a comprehensive range of engine operating conditions are investigated using both petrol and hydrogen as fuel. The comparisons have shown that for the same operating conditions, hydrogen powered vehicles suffer losses in power and thermal efficiency. With the performance requirements of the vehicle in mind the reductions in performance are not seen as a major compromise. Exhaust emission performance showed significant reduction in oxides of nitrogen and no significant emissions of hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Future potential developments suggested by this work is expected to improve performance outputs further.
Democracy and ‘The Other’: Outgroup Attitudes and Support for Anti-Democratic Norms

description: Studies of race and ethnic politics have documented that symbolic threat from racial and ethnic outgroups is a key driver of white Americans’ political judgements. However, this research has not been extended to regime-level norms, such as political tolerance and other norms of democracy. The political tolerance literature documents that despite high support for democracy, there is instability in Americans’ embrace of specific democratic norms. This literature has identified various correlates of support for undemocratic norms but has limited engagement with the scholarship on race and ethnic politics. This study bridges the gap between the two theories by explaining why we should expect a relationship between symbolic outgroup threat and support for undemocratic norms. By using supporting evidence based on qualitative data, three survey experiments, and correlational analyses of five nationally representative datasets, I show that symbolic threat from racial and ethnic outgroups is an important driver of white Americans’ support for undemocratic norms.

description: Double-peaked [O III]5007, profiles in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) may provide evidence for the existence of dual AGNs, but a good diagnostic for selecting them is currently lacking. Starting from $\sim$ 7000 active galaxies in SDSS DR7, we assemble a sample of 87 type 2 AGNs with double-peaked [O III]5007, profiles. The nuclear obscuration in the type 2 AGNs allows us to determine redshifts of host galaxies through stellar absorption lines. We typically find that one peak is redshifted and another is blueshifted relative to the host galaxy. We find a strong correlation between the ratios of the shifts and the double peak fluxes. The correlation can be naturally explained by the Keplerian relation predicted by models of co-rotating dual AGNs. The current sample statistically favors that most of the [O III] double-peaked sources are dual AGNs and disfavors other explanations, such as rotating disk and outflows. These dual AGNs have a separation distance at $\sim 1$ kpc scale, showing an intermediate phase of merging systems. The appearance of dual AGNs is about $\sim 10^{-2}$, impacting on the current observational deficit of binary supermassive black holes with a probability of $\sim 10^{-4}$ (Boroson & Lauer).

description: Recent observations of the growth of protein crystals have identified two different growth regimes. At low supersaturation, the surface of the crystal is smooth and increasing in size due to the nucleation of steps at defects and the subsequent growth of the steps. At high supersaturation, nucleation occurs at many places simultaneously, the crystal surface becomes rough and the growth velocity increases more rapidly with increasing supersaturation than in the smooth regime. Kinetic roughening transitions are typically assumed to be due to the vanishing of the barrier for two-dimension nucleation on the surface of the crystal. We show here, by means of both analytic mean field models and kinetic Monte Carlo simulations that a transition between different growth modes reminiscent of kinetic roughening can also arise as a kinetic effect occurring at finite nucleation barriers.

description: Several models for physics beyond the Standard Model predict new particles with a decay signature including hard photons and missing energy. Two well-motivated examples are supersymmetry with gauge-mediated breaking (GMSB) and the standard model with two universal extra dimensions. Both models lead to decay chains with similar collider signatures, including hard photon emission. The main discriminating feature are the spins of the new particles. In this paper we discuss how information about the spins of the particles can be extracted from lepton-photon or quark-photon invariant mass distributions at the Large Hadron Collider. The characteristic shapes of the distributions are derived analytically and then studied in a realistic Monte-Carlo simulation. We find that for a typical GMSB mass spectrum with particle masses below 1 TeV, already 10 fb$^{-1}$ integrated luminosity at 14 TeV center-of-mass energy are sufficient to discriminate the two models with high significance.

High Entropy Oxide Nanoparticles: Studies on the Interaction with Murine Macrophages

description: In the last few years, high entropy nanomaterials have gained significant interest in the scientific community due to their tunable elemental compositional flexibility and unique physicochemical properties. Specifically, high entropy oxide (HEO) nanoparticles (NPs) are being investigated for various energy storage, catalytic and biomedical applications. In the present study, we have evaluated the interaction between J774a.1 murine macrophages and HEO NPs with a novel composition comprised of five immiscible elements in the form of (Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn)3O4. Macrophages are innate immune cells playing key roles in the host defense and are known to be involved in cancer and inflammatory tissue damage. Herein, we synthesized HEO NPs by flame spray pyrolysis route, and used aberration corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy technique to evaluate their elemental composition and crystal structure. The results indicate that the synthesized NPs possess a single-phase solid solution spinel crystal structure confirming their high mixing entropy by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. MTT assay was performed for evaluating the macrophage cells viability in the presence of HEO NPs. The results from the MTT assay indicate a significant decrease in macrophage cell viability after 24 hours of exposure to various concentrations of HEO NPs. Complementary DAPI and ActinRed fluorescent staining images showed a decrease in signal intensity with increasing concentration of HEO NPs. Furthermore, the fluorescent staining demonstrates morphological changes in J774a.1 macrophage cells which confirms a strong cytotoxic effect of the synthesized HEO NPs. This study is the pioneering work for the development of biocompatible HEO NPs in order to promote their candidacy for biomedical applications.

The effect of practice schedules upon motor performance and learning in groups of different initial ability
Creators: name: Bisakowski, Katherine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: An investigation was made to determine the effect of practice schedules on the performance and learning of high, medium, and low ability subjects (Ss) on the pursuit rotor. Fifty-eight men were rank ordered according to their initial scores and then systematically assigned to one of three practice conditions in order to make the groups equal in regards to initial scores. Sixty women were also rank ordered and systematically assigned to one of the three practice groups. The Ss in each of the three practice groups were subdivided into three ability groups. There were thirty-eight Ss in the distributed practice group and forty Ss in each of the two massed practice groups. On Day 1 of practice those Ss who received a distributed practice schedule (DP) had sixteen 20-second trials with 20 seconds of rest between each trial; those Ss who received one type of massed practice (MPl) had four 80-second trials with 20 seconds rest; and, those Ss who received a second type of massed practice (MP2) had eight 40-second trials with 20 second rest. No significant difference in the mean performance time on target scores or number of hits was found among the three practice groups and there was no significant differential effect of practice schedule attributable to initial ability level on Day 1. After a twenty-four hour rest, all Ss received a distributed practice schedule of fifteen 20-second practice periods and 20 seconds interpolated rest between each practice trial. Reminiscence was not found to be related to practice, ability, or sex. Again no significant difference in the mean performance time on target score or number of hits was found among practice groups and there was no significant interaction between practice schedule and ability level. There was, however, a significant linear trend interaction between the medium ability and low ability groups under DP and the medium and low ability groups under the average of MP1 and MP2. Men and women differed initially in time on target scores and number of hits and they differed again at the end of practice in number of hits. A significant interaction between ability and sex was found for reminiscence and for the final score for number of hits.

description: We consider a supersymmetric Grand Unified Theory (GUT) based on the gauge group SO(10) suggested by Aulakh et al., which features two--step intermediate symmetry breaking, $SO(10) \to SU(4)_C \times SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \to SU(3)_C \times U(1)_{B-L} \times SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \to SU(3)_C \times SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y$. {\bf $45, 54, 126+\overline{126}$} dimensional representations of Higgs superfields are employed to achieve this symmetry breaking chain. We also introduce a second, very heavy, pair of Higgs doublets, which modifies the Yukawa couplings of matter fields relative to minimal SO(10) predictions. We analyze the differences in the low energy phenomenology compared to that of mSUGRA, assuming universal soft breaking scalar masses, gaugino masses and trilinear couplings at the GUT scale. We find that thermal neutralino Dark Matter remains viable in this scenario, although for small and moderate values of $\tanβ$ the allowed region is even more highly constrained than in mSUGRA, and depends strongly on the the light neutrino masses.

That is any Cubic and Quadratic form with at least 14 variables has a non-trivial $p$-adic zero, with the aforementioned condition on the residue class field. A crucial step in the proof, involves generalizing a $p$-adic minimization procedure due to W. M. Schmidt to hold for systems of forms of arbitrary degrees.

Spatial ecology of AdevÉvÖlie penguin breeding colonies : the effects of landscape, environmental variability and human activities
Creators: name: Bricher, PK
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Adelie penguins have been widely studied as an \indicator\" species for the health of the Southern Ocean ecosystem. However the effects of climatic variability and human activities on Adelie penguin populations are poorly understood. As many of the Adelie penguin colonies used for long-term demographic studies are located near research stations there is a need to be able to disentangle the effects of human activities and environmental variability on Adelie penguin populations. This study investigates the landscape properties that drive the locations of Adelie penguin colonies in the Windmill Is East Antarctica. It also examines whether potential changes in snow cover and/or proximity to human activities best explain the varying population trends of colonies in two breeding localities. While some colonies have been abandoned or have undergone strong population decreases the populations of others have grown by more than 1000% in the past 38 years. This study uses Geographic Information Systems to generate spatial data of landscape snow accumulation patterns and proximity to human activity parameters. Landscape parameters are derived from fine-scale digital elevation models (DEMs) and snow accumulation patterns are modelled using a complex physically-based GIS model. The parameters are then combined into multivariate statistical models to generate predictions of habitat suitability. Individually the landscape attributes such as elevation slope solar radiation and wetness index have little power to predict the distribution of colonies within a breeding locality. On the other hand multivariate models (discriminant analysis and decision tree) derived from these landscape attributes predict the presence or absence of colonies in test grid cells with up to 78.9% accuracy. General rules to describe the distribution of Adelie penguin colonies are not easily derived as habitat suitability appears to be driven by complex interactions between landscape attributes. At Whitney Pt the study site farthest from Casey modelled snow accumulation parameters explain most of the variation in population trends among colonies (up to 83.7% accuracy for five classes). At Shirley I 500 m from Casey models derived from proximity to human activity parameters correctly predict the trend classes for up to 83.8% of test cells while models derived from snow accumulation parameters correctly classify up to 57.8% of test cells. This suggests that while snow accumulation patterns are a primary driver of variation in population trends among colonies the effect of snow accumulation is outweighed by the effects of human activities near Casey."
Text Modeling and Mining for Healthcare Using Deep Learning
Creators: name: Chowdhury, Shaika
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Clinical texts are generated in an ever-increasing manner from sources such as EHR, medical forums and social networks. This data is information rich and being able to distill the relevant knowledge can facilitate various learning and prediction tasks in the healthcare domain. However, working with clinical texts is non-trivial and poses the following challenges: diverse expressions, heterogeneity, polysemy, data scarcity and irregular structure. This thesis focuses on effectively modeling and mining from the textual data for medical applications, so as to tackle the aforementioned challenges using deep learning techniques. To detect the diverse mentions related to pharmacovigilance from social media posts, we design a multi-task framework that benefits from joint learning of three related tasks. To extract useful patient knowledge from the heterogeneous EHR into a meaningful encoded representation, we model the data to concept graphs and fuse them using meta-embedding learning. To mine context-aware domain knowledge that is able to address the limited labeled data and polysemy issues in medical natural language inference (NLI), we supplement the medical ontology with other external resources. To mine the structured section information from the medical reports for efficient information extraction, we tackle the irregular section ordering issue by encoding both the semantic and topical dependencies of the sections using a dual sequential encoding model. Lastly, to extract the clinically-relevant information from patient-doctor conversations, we use a span-based model that helps to perform comprehensive extraction including diverse and overlapping entity mentions, and combine it with a noteworthy utterance prediction model for enhanced performance.

description: In late 2003, the young eruptive variable star V1647 Orionis optically brightened by over 5 magnitudes, stayed bright for around 26 months, and then decline to its pre-outburst level. In August 2008 the star was reported to have unexpectedly brightened yet again and we herein present the first detailed observations of this new outburst. Photometrically, the star is now as bright as it ever was following the 2003 eruption. Spectroscopically, a pronounced P Cygni profile is again seen in Halpha with an absorption trough extending to -700 km/s. In the near-infrared, the spectrum now possesses very weak CO overtone bandhead absorption in contrast to the strong bandhead emission seen soon after the 2003 event. Water vapor absorption is also much stronger than previously seen. We discuss the current outburst below and relate it to the earlier event.

Unbecoming-of-age : Australian grunge fiction, the Bildungsroman and the long labor decade
Creators: name: Christie, Michael Robert
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis interprets and explains changes in aspects of the Australian literary and political fields that occurred during the period sociologist Peter Beilharz has named the long Labor decade: 1983 to 1996. During this period tropes of youth, illness and mobility, and the Bildungsroman form were central to the textual embedding, via the putative modernisation of Australian Labourism, of Neoliberalism in Australian political culture. This thesis's central argument is that at its best Grunge and post-Grunge literary fiction both register and attempt to resist Neoliberal governmentality through the tropes of youth, illness and mobility, and through the Bildungsroman form. The introduction surveys the critical reception of Grunge fiction and presents the thesis' central literary-theoretical concepts which are taken from Franco Moretti and Fredric Jameson's historical sociology of literary form. It argues that the effective application of these methods of literary history to Grunge fiction requires a locally and temporally specific historical sociology and that Peter Beilharz's Transforming Labor is a productive text from which to further generate a late twentieth-century Australia-centred historical sociology. Chapter one analyses the textuality of the non-fiction writing of the long Labor decade through Beilharz's hermeneutic historical sociology. After establishing its key terms the chapter moves into three studies of central figures and texts of the period: prime ministers Gough Whitlam and Paul Keating, and Paul Kelly's The End of Certainty. Chapter two reads the oeuvres of Frank Moorhouse and Amanda Lohrey against the loss of Whitlam and Whitlamism and the emergence of Neoliberal forms of government. It also interprets The Reading Group and Forty-Seventeen - two of their pre-Grunge novels - against the post-Whitlam sense of mourning and loss. Chapter three returns to Grunge fiction and reads Andrew McGahan's Praise and 1988 and Christos Tsiolkas' Loaded in affiliation with the Neoliberal textuality of the stories told by and of Keating. Chapter four utilises the analysis of The End of Certainty to read three postGrunge novels. Elliot Penman's Three Dollars, Andrew McCann's Subtopia and Anthony Macris' Capital, volume one are interpreted and explained as responses to the embedding of Neoliberalism in Australian and global political culture that Kelly's master-work participates in through its use of the Bildungsroman form. The thesis concludes with a short survey of other fiction of the period and a brief outline of areas for future research suggested by the thesis.

description: We analyze the influence of the magnetic field generated by the supercurrents (self-field) on the current density distribution by numerical simulations. The thickness of the superconducting film determines the self-field and consequently the critical current density at zero applied field. We find an equation, which derives the thickness dependence of the critical current density from its dependence on the magnetic induction. Solutions of the equation reproduce numerical simulations to great accuracy, thus enabling a quantification of the dependence of the self-field critical current density with increasing film thickness. This result is technologically relevant for the development of coated conductors with thicker superconducting layers.

Investigation of the psychophysical relationship of kinesthetic extent of arm movement
Creators: name: Ryan, Martha Lorraine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Forty, volunteer, University of British Columbia, Physical Education students took part in a study to determine the relationship between the physical stimulus continuum and the psychological continuum of kinesthetic extent of arm movement. The subjects were randomly assigned to one of four conditions. The conditions were chosen to provide tests of three functional criteria, outlined by S. S. Stevens (1957), for differentiating between two classes of continua, prothetic and metathetic, into which the majority of sensory modalities naturally fall. The task for all conditions involved a straight arm movement from the shoulder joint, in a horizontal plane, towards the midline of the body. Condition I involved the psychophysical ratio scaling method of fractionation and from these data the subjective Kine function, Kine = .1010 S¹•⁰⁷⁵, for kinesthetic extent of movement was derived. Condition II employed the psychophysical category production method to derive the category scale for kinesthetic extent of movement, which was found to be linear when plotted against the subjective Kine scale values. In Conditions III and IV, the psychophysical ratio scaling method of fractionation was used and it was determined that the hysteresis effect was not present for kinesthetic extent of movement. The individual results from each condition supported the hypothesis that kinesthetic extent of arm movement is representative of the metathetic class. Therefore, the general conclusion, determined from a synthesis of the three tested functional criteria, was that one attribute of kinesthesis: extent of arm movement, is subserved by a metathetic process.

description: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women. While advances have been made in breast cancer treatments, intrinsic heterogeneity and complexity of the disease leave some patients with limited treatment options. One subclass, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), which constitutes about 15% of total breast cancer cases, lacks the three common treatment targets – estrogen, progesterone, and Her2 receptors. Overall, TNBC is more aggressive and has a higher relapse rate and a worse prognosis than other types of breast cancer. Further complicating the treatment of TNBC is the degree of genetic heterogeneity among TNBC cells, which necessitates the identification of new molecular targets for a tailored, cell type-specific therapy for TNBC. Accumulating evidence has linked cholesterol to the progression of breast cancer but epidemiological and clinical studies have produced conflicting data, underscoring the need to elucidate cellular signaling pathways and molecular mechanisms directly linking cholesterol to breast cancer cell progression. Based on our recent work showing that the cholesterol level at the inner plasma membrane (IPM) controls the proliferative signaling activity of cells, we investigated the link between IPM cholesterol levels of TNBC cells and their oncogenic signaling activity. By means of our ratiometric fluorescence sensor-based quantitative cholesterol imaging technology, we determined the IPM cholesterol levels of several TNBC cells and found that they consistently higher IPM cholesterol levels than other breast cancer cells and primary breast cells, leading to constitutive activation of Src kinase. Our biophysical studies showed that Src can directly interact with cholesterol via its Src-homology 2 (SH2) domain. Further mechanistic investigation revealed that IPM cholesterol-mediated activation of Src led to activation of Ras-mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling axis, which is responsible for aggressive phenotypes of TNBC cells, including cell migration and proliferation. We also developed small molecule inhibitors for Src-cholesterol binding that can potentially serve as a drug candidate for TNBC. Collectively, our study demonstrates a new mechanistic link between cholesterol and TNBC progression and offers a novel and exciting possibility to expand treatment options for this aggressive form of breast cancer.

description: The combination of compact objects, short period variability and peculiar chemical composition of the Ultra Compact X-ray Binaries make up a very interesting laboratory to study accretion processes and thermonuclear burning on the neutron star surface. The improved large optical telescopes and more sensitive X-ray satellites have increased the number of known Ultra Compact X-ray Binaries allowing their study with unprecedented detail. We analyze the average properties common to all ultra compact Bursters observed by INTEGRAL from ~0.2keV to ~150keV. We have performed a systematic analysis of the INTEGRAL public data and Key-Program proprietary observations of a sample of the Ultra Compact X-ray Binaries. In order to study their average properties in a very broad energy band, we combined INTEGRAL with BeppoSAX and SWIFT data whenever possible. For sources not showing any significant flux variations along the INTEGRAL monitoring, we build the average spectrum by combining all available data; in the case of variable fluxes, we use simultaneous INTEGRAL and SWIFT observations when available. Otherwise we compared IBIS and PDS data to check the variability and combine BeppoSAX with INTEGRAL/IBIS data. All spectra are well represented by a two component model consisting of a disk-blackbody and Comptonised emission. The majority of these compact sources spend most of the time in a canonical low/hard state, with dominating Comptonised component and accretion rate lower than ~10^{-9}Msolar/yr, not depending on the used model to fit the data.

The impact of culture on ERP implementation : SAP in China
Creators: name: Ang, YN
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: The primary purpose of this research was to study the impact of culture on the implementation of a Western-developed ERP system (SAP) in an Asian environment from the local Chinese informant's perspective. Unlike the majority of IS cultural research into ERP implementation, this study used a qualitative approach. Unstructured interviews were used on two occasions to collect data from informants during the implementation with a focus on their personal perceptions and interactions. This approach was adopted to allow informants to freely express their experiences and opinions in relations to the implementation. This implies that the researcher did not direct the interviews with any predetermined questions but rather allow the informants to direct the focus base on what they saw as important. Data analysis was based on the Seven Steps framework from Colaizzi (1978). The overall result of this research was that culture had a positive influence on the implementation of a Western-developed ERP system (SAP) in China. The findings in the case study showed that while the implementation of an ERP system had introduced new elements into their work practices and created new challenges for the informants, they did not see them in terms of cultural differences and mismatches. Instead, they accepted them as changes that must be accommodated. They relied on their creativity and innovation to find a better way to make the ERP system more compatible to their work practices. This is important because contrary to the common view, cultural misalignment did not cause rejection of the SAP system, and further a non-Western culture did not necessarily make implementation of Westerndeveloped ERP systems more difficult to implement in an Asian environment. Furthermore, the findings in the case study showed that the Chinese cultural values of Guanxi are important in the management of uncertainties created from environmental factors and deficiencies in the SAP system. The research described in this thesis confirmed the usefulness of the National Cultural Dimensions (Hofstede, 1980) and Situated Culture Theory (Weisinger & Salipante, 2000) for obtaining meaningful insights that drew together the influences of environmental factors and Chinese culture, and how the informants dealt with the SAP implementation. The outcome of this research has provided new insights into an appreciation of different cultural values and an understanding on how informants intuitively applied them as problem-solving tools. In addition based on this research, suggestions have been made for future research with a focus on how culture could be taken into account to support the implementation of new technologies.

description: Let f be a transcendental entire function for which the set of critical and asymptotic values is bounded. The Denjoy-Carleman-Ahlfors theorem implies that if the set of all z for which |f(z)|>R has N components for some R>0, then the order of f is at least N/2. More precisely, we have log log M(r,f) > (N/2) log r - O(1), where M(r,f) denotes the maximum modulus of f. We show that if f does not grow much faster than this, then the escaping set and the Julia set of f have positive Lebesgue measure. However, as soon as the order of f exceeds N/2, this need not be true. The proof requires a sharpened form of an estimate of Tsuji related to the Denjoy-Carleman-Ahlfors theorem.
