description: More than ever before, students have the option of studying abroad. The character of the higher education experience in many countries has been dramatically changed by the international flow of students. An increasing diversity and cosmopolitanism in higher education has been accompanied by that sector’s increasing financial dependence on students from overseas, and the fees they pay. Higher education, once perceived as benefiting the public, is now driven by principles of business and marketing. With a focus on Australia and South Africa, this book enhances understanding of the complex issues associated with international education in globalising times. The authors question the adequacy of many current higher education policies, challenge the contemporary emphasis on international education as a commodity rather than a public good, and put forward alternative ways of framing debates and formulating policies.

description: A comprehensive analysis of 355 high-quality WSRT HI 21-cm line maps of nearby galaxies shows that the properties and incident rate of Damped Lyman-alpha (DLA) absorption systems observed in the spectra of high redshift QSOs are in good agreement with DLAs originating in gas disks of galaxies like those in the z~0 population. Comparison of low-z DLA statistics with the HI incidence rate and column density distribution f(N) for the local galaxy sample shows no evidence for evolution in the integral "cross section density" below z~1.5, implying that there is no need for a hidden population of galaxies or HI clouds to contribute significantly to the DLA cross section. Compared with z~4, our data indicates evolution of a factor of two in the comoving density along a line of sight. We find that dN/dz(z=0)=0.045 +/- 0.006. The idea that the local galaxy population can explain the DLAs is further strengthened by comparing the properties of DLAs and DLA galaxies with the expectations based on our analysis of local galaxies. The distribution of luminosities of DLA host galaxies, and of impact parameters between QSOs and the centres of DLA galaxies, are in good agreement with what is expected from local galaxies. Approximately 87% of low z DLA galaxies are expected to be fainter than L* and 37 per cent have impact parameters less than 1'' at z=0.5. The analysis shows that some host galaxies with very low impact parameters and low luminosities are expected to be missed in optical follow up surveys. The well-known metallicity-luminosity relation in galaxies, in combination with metallicity gradients in galaxy disks, cause the expected median metallicity of low redshift DLAs to be low (~1/7 solar), which is also in good agreement with observations of low z DLAs.

description: The peripheral heavy-ion collisions of $^{112, 124}Sn+ ^{86}Kr$ at $E_{b}= 25AMeV$ are studied by means of the Improved Quantum Molecular Dynamics Model(ImQMD). It is shown that the slope of the average N/Z ratio of emitted nucleons vs impact parameters for these reactions is very sensitive to the density dependence of the symmetry energy. Our study also shows that the yields of $^{3}H$ and $^{3}He$ decrease with impact parameters and slope of the yield of $^{3}H$ vs impact parameters as well as the ratio of Y($^{3}H$)/Y($^{3}He$) depend on the symmetry potential strongly for peripheral heavy-ion collisions.

description: We introduce a "dual-space approach" to mixed Nevanlinna-Pick/Carathéodory-Schur interpolation in Banach spaces X of holomorphic functions on the disk. Our approach can be viewed as complementary to the well-known commutant lifting approach of D. Sarason and B. Nagy-C.Foiaş. We compute the norm of the minimal interpolant in X by a version of the Hahn-Banach theorem, which we use to extend functionals defined on a subspace of kernels without increasing their norm. This Functional extensions lemma plays a similar role as Sarason's Commutant lifting theorem but it only involves the predual of X and no Hilbert space structure is needed. As an example, we present the respective Pick-type interpolation theorems for Beurling-Sobolev spaces.

description: The evolution of multiple scalar fields in cosmology has been much studied, particularly when the potential is formed from a series of exponentials. For a certain subclass of such systems it is possible to get `assisted` behaviour, where the presence of multiple terms in the potential effectively makes it shallower than the individual terms indicate. It is also known that when compactifying on coset spaces one can achieve a consistent truncation to an effective theory which contains many exponential terms, however, if there are too many exponentials then exact scaling solutions do not exist. In this paper we study the potentials arising from such compactifications of eleven dimensional supergravity and analyse the regions of parameter space which could lead to scaling behaviour.

description: In particle systems, flocking refers to the phenomenon where particles’ individual velocities eventually align. The Cucker–Smale (CS) model is a well-known mathematical framework that describes this behaviour. Many continuous descriptions of the CS model use PDEs with both particle position and velocity as independent variables, thus providing a full description of the particles' mean-field limit (MFL) dynamics. In this paper, we introduce a novel reduced inertial PDE model consisting of two equations that depend solely on particle position. In contrast to other reduced models, ours is not derived from the MFL, but directly includes the model reduction at the level of the empirical densities, thus allowing for a straightforward connection to the underlying particle dynamics. We present a thorough analytical investigation of our reduced model, showing that: firstly, our reduced PDE satisfies a natural and interpretable continuous definition of flocking; secondly, in specific cases, we can fully quantify the discrepancy between PDE solution and particle system. Our theoretical results are supported by numerical simulations.

description: Stephen Moorbath was an intellectual with eclectic interests across the sciences and humanities. In 1939, as a ten-year-old, he fled from Germany to England with his father. Stephen spent almost the whole of the rest of his life—from schoolboy to university professor—in Oxford, where he became one of the world's leading isotope geochemists. His academic career began with setting up Europe's first radiometric rock and mineral dating laboratory. In this laboratory, together with numerous colleagues and students, he applied the lead–lead, rubidium–strontium, potassium–argon and, later, samarium–neodymium isotopic dating methods to the solution of many geological problems. He made major contributions in establishing the chronology for the geological and tectonic evolution of Precambrian crust in the Scottish Highlands and Islands, in West Greenland, Zimbabwe, South India, and Ghana. He developed isotopic criteria for assessing the relative contributions of mantle and crustal sources to Tertiary igneous rocks in Scotland, Andean volcanics and the late Archaean granitoids of West Greenland. He established dating methods for sedimentary rocks: Rb–Sr for shales and Pb/Pb for Archaean limestone. Stephen's abiding geological passion was the study of the early Archaean, especially the Godthåbsfjord and Isukasia areas of West Greenland.

description: We present a calculation of the damping of an ultra-energetic (UHE) cosmic neutrino travelling through the thermal gas of relic neutrinos, using the formalism of finite-temperature field theory. From the self-energy diagram due to Z exchange, we obtain the annihilation cross section for an UHE neutrino interacting with an antineutrino from the background. This method allows us to derive the full expressions for the UHE neutrino transmission probability, taking into account the momentum of relic neutrinos. We compare our results with the approximations in use in the literature. We discuss the effect of thermal motion on the shape of the absorption dips for different UHE neutrino fluxes as well as in the context of relic neutrino clustering. We find that for ratios of the neutrino mass to the relic background temperature $10^2$ or smaller, the thermal broadening of the absorption lines could significantly affect the determination of the neutrino mass and of the characteristics of the population of UHE sources.

T.O.D. or not T.O.D. : how is the question
Creators: name: Walter, Mary Evelyn Trueblood

description: This thesis examines the opportunities and constraints facing the implementation of Transit Oriented Development (TOD). TOD consists of concentrated, mixed use development within walking distance of a commercial core and a transit stop that provide the focal point for the community and connect the resident to the region. Despite the fact that many planners accept TOD as a useful form of development, TOD has experienced barriers to its implementation. Neither the barriers to implementation, nor the opportunities for overcoming them have been sufficiently researched. This case study of land use planning at the four east Vancouver station areas of Joyce, 29th Avenue, Nanaimo and Broadway of the 'Expo' Advanced Light Rapid Transit (ALRT) line, known locally as 'SkyTrain', addresses this deficiency. Planning literature, planning documents, interviews with seven Vancouver planners, zoning and land use maps, and a land use survey provided the data from which conclusions were drawn. The research suggests that the major barriers to TOD implementation along the Vancouver 'Expo' line were poor transit routing, difficulties in assembling large parcels of land, lack of coordination between public entities, separated regional land use and transportation planning, inadequate political commitment to design and mitigation measures, the setting of goals for the station areas that are not TOD goals and the intrusive nature ALRT due to its elevated guideway. Many of these barriers correspond with those identified by the TOD literature as existing in other cities, but significant barriers that were identified in the case study but not by the literature include the intrusive nature of the ALRT technology due to its elevated guideway, the decision making process that had the province make decisions (e.g. the type of rapid transit technology to be used) without local input, and the absence of sustained implementation. Opportunities for overcoming barriers to TOD include creating more participatory decision making processes that ensure decisions that affect local communities are made at the municipal and regional, rather than provincial, level, the creation of a directly elected agency responsible for both land use and transportation planning, increased coordination between public agencies, and the creation of TOD guidelines.

description: Clinical predictions using clinical data by computational methods are common in bioinformatics. However, clinical predictions using information from genomics datasets as well is not a frequently observed phenomenon in research. Precision medicine research requires information from all available datasets to provide intelligent clinical solutions. In this paper, we have attempted to create a prediction model which uses information from both clinical and genomics datasets. We have demonstrated multiclass disease predictions based on combined clinical and genomics datasets using machine learning methods. We have created an integrated dataset, using a clinical (ClinVar) and a genomics (gene expression) dataset, and trained it using instance-based learner to predict clinical diseases. We have used an innovative but simple way for multiclass classification, where the number of output classes is as high as 75. We have used Principal Component Analysis for feature selection. The classifier predicted diseases with 73\% accuracy on the integrated dataset. The results were consistent and competent when compared with other classification models. The results show that genomics information can be reliably included in datasets for clinical predictions and it can prove to be valuable in clinical diagnostics and precision medicine.

description: Nickel-doped graphene has been synthesized from propylene on a Ni(111) surface and studied using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT). It is established that nickel centers are formed during graphene synthesis on the Ni(111) surface by both chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and temperature-programmed growth (TPG); apparently, they are always present in graphene synthesized on Ni(111). The centers are observed in STM images as single defects or defect chains and identified by DFT calculations as Ni atoms in carbon bivacancies. These nickel atoms are positively charged and may be of interest for single-atom catalysis. The incorporated Ni atoms should remain in graphene after the detachment from the substrate since they bound more strongly with carbon atoms in graphene than with substrate nickel atoms.

description: Materials that can produce large controllable strains are widely used in shape memory devices, actuators and sensors. Great efforts have been made to improve the strain outputs of various material systems. Among them, ferroelastic transitions underpin giant reversible strains in electrically-driven ferro/piezoelectrics and thermally- or magneticallydriven shape memory alloys. However, large-strain ferroelastic switching in conventional ferroelectrics is very challenging while magnetic and thermal controls are not desirable for applications. Here, we demonstrate an unprecedentedly large shear strain up to 21.5 % in a hybrid ferroelectric, C6H5N(CH3)3CdCl3. The strain response is about two orders of magnitude higher than those of top-performing conventional ferroelectric polymers and oxides. It is achieved via inorganic bond switching and facilitated by the structural confinement of the large organic moieties, which prevents the undesired 180-degree polarization switching. Furthermore, Br substitution can effectively soften the bonds and result in giant shear piezoelectric coefficient (d35 ~ 4800 pm/V) in Br-rich end of the solid solution, C6H5N(CH3)3CdBr3xCl3(1-x). The superior electromechanical properties of the compounds promise their potential in lightweight and high energy density devices, and the strategy described here should inspire the development of next-generation piezoelectrics and electroactive materials based on hybrid ferroelectrics.

description: This is a survey of our results on the relation between perturbative renormalization and motivic Galois theory. The main result is that all quantum field theories share a common universal symmetry realized as a motivic Galois group, whose action is dictated by the divergences and generalizes that of the renormalization group. The existence of such a group was conjectured by P. Cartier based on number theoretic evidence and on the Connes-Kreimer theory of perturbative renormalization. The group provides a universal formula for counterterms and is obtained via a Riemann-Hilbert correspondence classifying equivalence classes of flat equisingular bundles, where the equisingularity condition corresponds to the independence of the counterterms on the mass scale.

description: The purpose of this study is to explore the phenomena of fete (party) brands from the Trinidad Carnival and the experience it sells to customers, and, in turn, the trends around these brands as they are being exported into other markets. It does so through case study research, investigating the event brand Soca Brainwash and its expansion into 6 markets. Interviews were conducted with attendees chosen from all markets, as well as with the owner and creator of the event brand. The social media presence of the brand was also analysed as a key factor to the experience selling. The findings show that this event brand experience is multidimensional, incorporating digital media to highlight the great experiences of patrons in videos as well as pictures. It also shows how its physical environment allows patrons to engage and connect with the brand. Additionally, Soca Brainwash creates a space where persons can find and reinforce their identity through their participation. Despite this, it still faces challenges as it pertains to being modern and innovative but still upholding traditional aspects of carnival, and to help develop other carnival markets while still trying to keep its home market of Trinidad its most prized position. Further research on the subject ought to include investigation into the economic earnings of the event and other influences that would determine it being sustainable in the future, as well as entering newer markets.

description: Rhythmic neural activity is considered essential for adaptively modulating responses in the visual system. In this opinion article we posit that visual brain rhythms also serve a key function in the representation and communication of visual contents. Collating a set of recent studies that used multivariate decoding methods on rhythmic brain signals, we highlight such rhythmic content representations in visual perception, imagery, and prediction. We argue that characterizing representations across frequency bands allows researchers to elegantly disentangle content transfer in feedforward and feedback directions. We further propose that alpha dynamics are central to content-specific feedback propagation in the visual system. We conclude that considering rhythmic content codes is pivotal for understanding information coding in vision and beyond.

description: We propose a (physical)-geometrical method to measure the present rates of the density cosmological parameters for a Friedmann-Lemaitre universe. The distribution of linear separations between two interacting galaxies,when both of them undergo a first massive starburst, is used as a standard of length. Statistical properties of the linear separations of such pairs of ``interactivated'' galaxies are estimated from the data in the Two Degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey. Synthetic samples of interactivated pairs are generated with random orientations and a likely distribution of redshifts. The resolution of the inverse problem provides the probability densities of the retrieved cosmological parameters. The accuracies that can be achieved by that method on matter and cosmological constant densities parameters are computed depending on the size of ongoing real samples. Observational prospects are investigated as the foreseeable surface densities on the sky and magnitudes of those objects.

Three-dimensional MHD simulations of X-ray emitting subcluster plasmas in cluster of galaxies

description: Recent high resolution observations by the {\it Chandra} X-ray satellite revealed various substructures in hot X-ray emitting plasmas in cluster of galaxies. For example, {\it Chandra} revealed the existence of sharp discontinuities in the surface brightness at the leading edge of subclusters in merging clusters (e.g., Abell 3667), where the temperature drops sharply across the fronts. These sharp edges are called cold fronts. We present results of three-dimensional (3D) magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the interaction between a dense subcluster plasma and ambient magnetized intracluster medium. Anisotropic heat conduction along magnetic field lines is included. At the initial state, magnetic fields are assumed to be uniform and transverse to the motion of the dense subcluster. Since magnetic fields ahead of the subcluster slip toward the third direction in the 3D case, the strength of magnetic fields in this region can be reduced compared to that in the 2D case. Nevertheless, a cold front can be maintained because the magnetic field lines wrapping around the forehead of the subcluster suppress the heat conduction across them. On the other hand, when the magnetic field is absent, a cold front cannot be maintained because isotropic heat conduction from the hot ambient plasma rapidly heats the cold subcluster plasma.

description: Few-shot Learning (FSL) which aims to learn from few labeled training data is becoming a popular research topic, due to the expensive labeling cost in many real-world applications. One kind of successful FSL method learns to compare the testing (query) image and training (support) image by simply concatenating the features of two images and feeding it into the neural network. However, with few labeled data in each class, the neural network has difficulty in learning or comparing the local features of two images. Such simple image-level comparison may cause serious mis-classification. To solve this problem, we propose Augmented Bi-path Network (ABNet) for learning to compare both global and local features on multi-scales. Specifically, the salient patches are extracted and embedded as the local features for every image. Then, the model learns to augment the features for better robustness. Finally, the model learns to compare global and local features separately, i.e., in two paths, before merging the similarities. Extensive experiments show that the proposed ABNet outperforms the state-of-the-art methods. Both quantitative and visual ablation studies are provided to verify that the proposed modules lead to more precise comparison results.

description: NK-92 is a highly cytotoxic natural killer cell line, with favourable properties for application in adoptive cell therapy. Relations between NK-92 metabolism and cytotoxic function are yet to be elucidated and the use of different cytotoxicity assays prevents comparison between experiments. Here NK-92 metabolism-cytotoxicity relationships were investigated, and three commonly used cytotoxicity methods were compared.NK-92 cells were cultured for 21 days in a pseudo-static setup with a daily sampling procedure. Cell clustering was analysed via brightfield microscopy and metabolite concentrations were measured in the culture via amino acid HPLC and enzymatic assays. Cytotoxicity measurement at effector to target ratios (E:T) of 1:1 and 5:1, after 4 h of co-culture with K-562 via LDH release assay, calcein release assay and a flow cytometry-based method were performed and compared.Correlations were found between metabolite concentrations, metabolite rates, aggregate formation, and cell count. Results of the three cytotoxicity methods showed no significant difference at 5:1 E:T. The results of the calcein release assay were significantly higher than those of the other two methods at 1:1 E:T. A correlation between spontaneous LDH release from NK-92 cells and the ratio of necrotic and apoptotic target cells was identified, indicating a potential role of spontaneous LDH release as soft sensor for the mode of killing of NK-92.
Numerical stability of mass transfer driven by Roche lobe overflow in close binaries

description: Numerical computation of the time evolution of the mass transfer rate in a close binary can be and, in particular, has been a computational challenge. Using a simple physical model to calculate the mass transfer rate, we show that for a simple explicit iteration scheme the mass transfer rate is numerically unstable unless the time steps are sufficiently small. In general, more sophisticated explicit algorithms do not provide any significant improvement since this instability is a direct result of time discretization. For a typical binary evolution, computation of the mass transfer rate as a smooth function of time limits the maximum tolerable time step and thereby sets the minimum total computational effort required for an evolutionary computation. By methods of ``Controlling Chaos'' it can be shown that a specific implicit iteration scheme, based on Newton's method, is the most promising solution for the problem.

description: Located at the intersection between collage, multimedia narratives, and contemporary media technology, this thesis explores how an augmented reality (AR) environment may help people to explore a landscape’s history. This work develops a digital walk with historic elements in AR deployed at Allegheny Commons West Park, a historic site in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Traditionally, digital cultural heritage experiences tend to be organized in a linear narrative structure and static content. The experience design of this project challenges this convention and uses a non-linear collage based approach. Audiences are guided to positions that offer a viewpoint where virtual content collages assemble into a complete scenario. Viewed from this point audiences can then perceive the historical elements such as people, buildings and environment. In addition, audiences find and form their own trajectories through the designed scenarios, and develop an understanding of the history of the landscape through open-ended exploration of the AR collages. By detailing the technical structure of the system, the thesis also introduces a preliminary workflow for the design of digital cultural heritage experiences with non-linear collage-based narratives.
Palaeolithic Archaeology and Stone Artefacts in East and Southeast Asia: Harmonizing Approaches to Promote Archaeological Science (WGF - Workshop Grant)

description: This resource is an application for the Workshop Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation.

The aim of the workshop is to provide a forum for discussion among experts in stone artefact archaeology for the Palaeolithic period in East and Southeast Asia in order harmonize our methods and interpretive frameworks. Currently, scholars from several different countries and academic backgrounds work on this subject. The high diversity of current approaches impedes progress on important research questions because we lack widely agreed upon definitions for key concepts, and we collect data in such different ways that direct comparison between assemblages and synthesis of sites is currently impossible. This workshop will provide an opportunity to harmonise these diverse approaches, and define a path forward for stone artefact studies in East and Southeast Asia. We will develop a repertoire of rigorously defined methods, terminology and concepts to improve the potential for comparative and synthetic studies. Such studies are vital for building a solid core of knowledge of the Palaeolithic period in this region, and essential for a firm foundation for future research. We will also discuss and study the use of modern tools and services available to the research community to support the open availability of research data. Using these tools and services are an important practical step to improve the transparency and openness of Palaeolithic research, and to increase the efficiency of reusing data from other researchers.
Real trajectories in the semiclassical coherent state propagator

description: The semiclassical approximation to the coherent state propagator requires complex classical trajectories in order to satisfy the associated boundary conditions, but finding these trajectories in practice is a difficult task that may compromise the applicability of the approximation. In this work several approximations to the coherent state propagator are derived that make use only of real trajectories, which are easier to handle and have a more direct physical interpretation. It is verified in a particular example that these real trajectories approximations may have excellent accuracy.

description: Within the mode-coupling theory (MCT) of the glass transition, we reconsider the numerical schemes to evaluate the MCT functional. Here we propose nonuniform discretizations of the wave number, in contrast to the standard equidistant grid, in order to decrease the number of grid points without losing accuracy. We discuss in detail how the integration scheme on the new grids has to be modified from standard Riemann integration. We benchmark our approach by solving the MCT equations numerically for mono-disperse hard disks and hard spheres and by computing the critical packing fraction and the nonergodicity parameters. Our results show that significant improvements in performance can be obtained by employing a nonuniform grid.

description: We present results from the first near-IR imaging of the weak X-ray sources discovered in the Chandra/ACIS-I survey (Wang et al. 2002) towards the Galactic Centre (GC). These ~800 discrete sources, which contribute significantly to the GC X-ray emission, represent an important and previously unknown population within the Galaxy. From our VLT observations we will identify likely IR counterparts to a sample of the hardest sources, which are most likely X-ray binaries. With these data we can place constraints on the nature of the discrete weak X-ray source population of the GC.

description: Clastic-dominated (CD-type) deposits contain a significant proportion of the global resources of Zn, Pb, and Ag, and include some of the largest deposits that formed through subseafloor replacement. Mineralization textures in these deposits can be highly variable, and the physical properties that control these textures are poorly defined. The style of dissolution in carbonate units can be described by dimensionless parameters (Péclet and Damköhler numbers) that represent fundamental properties of reacting flow systems. Using reaction transport modeling of a CD-type deposit, this work investigates the relationships between Péclet and Damköhler numbers with textures and ore grades. In 1-D and 2-D simulations, a metalliferous brine was reacted with a host rock at variable rates of fluid flow and dolomite dissolution, resulting in different mineralization textures depending on the spatial relationship of the inflowing brine to the reaction front and the flow and dolomite dissolution rate. Ahead of the front, disseminated textures developed at low Damköhler numbers. At, or behind, the front where the Damköhler number was higher, massive or interfingered textures formed, depending on the Péclet number. The shift between massive (higher-grade) to interfingering to disseminated (lower-grade) mineralization led to a correlation between Damköhler and Péclet numbers with ore grade. The models presented here demonstrate the association between mineral kinetics and flow rate with mineralization textures. Therefore, understanding the implications of Damköhler and Péclet numbers can help in interpreting textures on a hand-sample to outcrop scale and patterns of grade and ore geometry.
