description: The first ever reported observation ofa member of the genus Canis well in the interior of the Danakil area (Ethi-opia) offers the opportunity to revise available evidence about the existence of a neglected species of small-sized ‘jackal’ in the Horn of Africa. A review of historical zoological literature led to assign this small-sized, reddish jackal to Canis mengesi Noack, 1897, originally described from inner Somaliland. Geological and geomorphological considerations sup-port the distinctiveness of the Red Sea coastal jackal Canis anthus riparius Hemprich Ehrenberg, 1832, typical of the narrow alluvial, sandy coast, while Canis mengesi is found in the volcanic rocky habitat prevailing over most northern Afar (Danakil, Ethiopia).

description: We study, by incorporating short-range ion-surface interactions, ionic profiles of electrolyte solutions close to a non-charged interface between two dielectric media. In order to account for important correlation effects close to the interface, the ionic profiles are calculated beyond mean-field theory, using the loop expansion of the free energy. We show how it is possible to overcome the well-known deficiency of the regular loop expansion close to the dielectric jump, and treat the non-linear boundary conditions within the framework of field theory. The ionic profiles are obtained analytically to one-loop order in the free energy, and their dependence on different ion-surface interactions is investigated. The Gibbs adsorption isotherm, as well as the ionic profiles are used to calculate the surface tension, in agreement with the reverse Hofmeister series. Consequently, from the experimentally-measured surface tension, one can extract a single adhesivity parameter, which can be used within our model to quantitatively predict hard to measure ionic profiles.

On the use of multi-population mortality models for deprivation subgroups in a population
Creators: name: Mok, Kam Kuen Kenny
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Actuaries and demographers have shown a keen interest in the longevity improvement in the past decades since human longevity significantly affects society, especially influencing the creation of government policy for pensioners and life insurance products. Studies have shown that mortality rates have converged across populations, in which academics have been developing multi-population models to capture this phenomenon. Multi-population models can be used to assess longevity basis risk, which is the mismatch of the longevity outcome between two different populations. Longevity basis risk arises from hedging the sub-population using mortality hedging instruments based on the reference mortality rate. Good multi-population models are able to capture and reduce the basis risk along with hedging instrument. In this thesis, we study a variety of multi-population models from the literature. These models are fitted for the UK population data and the deprivation subgroups in England. Goodness-of-fit tests, and the examination of forecasting accuracy and hedging effectiveness are used to compare the multi-population models.

description: We study a CR analogue of the Ahlfors derivative for conformal immersions of Stowe [23] that generalizes the CR Schwarzian derivative studied earlier by the second-named author [21]. This notion possesses several important properties similar to those of the conformal counterpart and provides a new invariant for spherically equivalent CR maps from strictly pseudoconvex CR manifolds into a sphere. The invariant is computable and distinguishes many well-known sphere maps. In particular, it vanishes precisely when the map is spherically equivalent to the linear embedding of spheres.

The near-surface methane humidity on Titan

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We retrieve vertical and meridional variations of methane mole fraction in Titan's lower troposphere by re-analyzing near-infrared ground-based observations from 17 July 2014 UT (Adamkovics et al., 2016). We generate synthetic spectra using atmospheric methane profiles that do not contain supersaturation or discontinuities to fit the observations, and thereby retrieve minimum saturation altitudes and corresponding specific humidities in the boundary layer. We relate these in turn to surface-level relative humidities using independent surface temperature measurements. We also compare our results with general circulation model simulations to interpret and constrain the relationship between humidities and surface liquids. The results show that Titan's lower troposphere is undersaturated at latitudes south of 60N, consistent with a dry surface there, but increases in humidity toward the north pole indicate appreciable surface liquid coverage. While our observations are consistent with considerably more liquid methane existing at the north pole than is present in observed lakes, a degeneracy between low-level methane and haze leads to substantial uncertainty in determining the extent of the source region.

Investigating Liberty Alliance and Shibboleth Integration: ITEC809 - final report
Creators: name: Naidoo, Nishen
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The growth of online activity has brought with it several challenges in the arenas of privacy, security and identity management. Federated Identity Architectures aim to mitigate the risks, costs and complexities within each of these arenas. Domain specific requirements have evolved two frameworks to address these issues for their respective domains. Liberty Alliance is a project and a Federated Identity Framework that specifically targets requirements within the commercial sector, while Shibboleth was founded with the intent of providing resource sharing for higher education. -- Users, who are often members of both domains, are still left with multiple identities to manage across these federations, some of which exist only due to their technology limitations. These identities are exposed to multiple identity providers, limiting their privacy. -- This project investigates these two architectures, identifying their profiles, protocols and bindings and establishes what would be required for their core components, the Service Provider and the Identity Provider, to communicate across different frameworks. -- We show how having these frameworks based upon the same parent specification provides common communication patterns that can be leveraged to provide desired functionality through the addition of message translation at strategic locations within the architectures.
Experimental and first-principles studies of magnetism and magnetoelectric effect in Co4Nb2O9 and Co4Ta2O9

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We report results of joint experimental and theoretical studies on magnetoelectric (ME) compounds Co4Nb2O9 and Co4Ta2O9. On the experimental side, we present results of the magnetization and dielectric permittivity measurements in the magnetic field. On the theoretical side, we construct the low-energy Hubbard-type model for the magnetically active Co 3d bands in the Wannier basis, using the input of first-principles electronic structure calculations, solve this model in the mean-field Hartree-Fock approximation, and evaluate the electric polarization in terms of the Berry phase theory. Both experimental and theoretical results suggest that Co4Ta2O9 is magnetically softer than Co4Nb2O9. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that the antiferromagnetic structure of Co4Ta2O9 can be easier deformed by the external magnetic field, yielding larger polarization. This trend is indeed reproduced by our theoretical calculations, but does not seem to be consistent with the experimental behavior of the polarization and dielectric permittivity. Thus, we suggest that there should be a hidden mechanism controlling the ME coupling in these compounds, probably related to the magnetic striction or a spontaneous change of the magnetic structure, which breaks the inversion symmetry. Furthermore, we argue that unlike in other ME systems (e.g. Cr2O3), in Co4Nb2O9 and Co4Ta2O9 there are two crystallographic sublattices, which contribute to the ME effect. These contributions are found to be of the opposite sign and tend to compensate each other. The latter mechanism can be also used to control and reverse the electric polarization in these compounds.

Eigensystem multiscale analysis for the Anderson model via the Wegner estimate

description: We present a new approach to the eigensystem multiscale analysis (EMSA) for random Schrödinger operators that relies on the Wegner estimate. The EMSA treats all energies of the finite volume operator in an energy interval at the same time, simultaneously establishing localization of all eigenfunctions with eigenvalues in the energy interval with high probability. It implies all the usual manifestations of localization (pure point spectrum with exponentially decaying eigenfunctions, dynamical localization). The new method removes the restrictive level spacing hypothesis used in the previous versions of the EMSA. The method is presented in the context of the Anderson model, allowing for single site probability distributions that are Hölder continuous of order $α\in (0,1]$.

description: We generalize our virial approach to study the neutral current neutrino response of nuclear matter at low densities. In the long-wavelength limit, the virial expansion makes model-independent predictions for neutrino-nucleon scattering rates and the density S_V and spin S_A responses. We find S_A is significantly reduced from one even at low densities. We provide a simple fit S_A^f(n,T,Y_p) of the axial response as a function of density n, temperature T and proton fraction Y_p. This fit reproduces our model independent virial results at low densities and reproduces the Burrows and Sawyer random phase approximation (RPA) results at high densities. Our fit can be incorporated into supernova simulations in a straight forward manner. Preliminary one dimensional supernova simulations suggest that the reduction in the axial response may enhance neutrino heating rates in the gain region during the accretion phase of a core-collapse supernovae.

description: Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) have rapidly become a topic of international interest as governments have sponsored their deployment for the purposes of utility service reliability and efficiency, e.g., water and electricity conservation. Two problems plague such deployments. First is the protection of consumer privacy. Second is the problem of huge amounts of data from such deployments. A new architecture is proposed to address these problems through the use of Aggregators, which incorporate temporary data buffering and the modularization of utility grid analysis. These Aggregators are used to deliver anonymized summary data to the central utility while preserving billing and automated connection services.

description: The $\mathbf{k \cdot p}$ method is a successful approach to obtain band structure, optical and transport properties of semiconductors, and it depends on external parameters that are obtained either from experiments, tight binding or ab initio calculations. Despite the widespread use of the $\mathbf{k \cdot p}$ method, a systematic analysis of the stability and the accuracy of its parameters is not usual in the literature. In this work, we report a theoretical framework to determine the $\mathbf{k \cdot p}$ parameters from state-of-the-art hybrid density functional theory including spin-orbit coupling, providing a calculation where the gap and spin-orbit energy splitting are in agreement with the experimental values. The accuracy of the set of parameters is enhanced by fitting over several directions at once, minimizing the overall deviation from the original data. This strategy allows us to systematically evaluate the stability, preserving the accuracy of the parameters, providing a tool to determine optimal parameters for specific ranges around the $Γ$-point. To prove our concept, we investigate the zinc blende GaAs that shows results in excellent agreement with the most reliable data in the literature.

description: We establish a correspondence between the dimer model on a bipartite graph and a circle pattern with the combinatorics of that graph, which holds for graphs that are either planar or embedded on the torus. The set of positive face weights on the graph gives a set of global coordinates on the space of circle patterns with embedded dual. Under this correspondence, which extends the previously known isoradial case, the urban renewal (local move for dimer models) is equivalent to the Miquel move (local move for circle patterns). As a consequence the Miquel dynamics on circle patterns is governed by the octahedron recurrence. As special cases of these circle pattern embeddings, we recover harmonic embeddings for resistor networks and s-embeddings for the Ising model.

description: In this work we present a novel symmetric bispecific antibody format based on engraftments of cattle-derived knob paratopes onto peripheral loops of the IgG1 Fc region. For this, knob architectures obtained from bovine ultralong CDR-H3 antibodies were inserted into the AB loop or EF loop of the CH3 domain, enabling the introduction of an artificial binding specificity into an IgG molecule. We demonstrate that inserted knob domains largely retain their binding affinities, resulting into bispecific antibody derivatives versatile for effector cell redirection. Essentially, generated bispecifics demonstrated adequate biophysical properties and were not compromised in their Fc mediated functionalities such as FcRn or FcγRIIIa binding.
Linear Process Bootstrap Unit Root Test

description: One of the most widely applied unit root test, Phillips-Perron test, enjoys in general highpowers, but suffers from size distortions when moving average noise exists. As a remedy, thispaper proposes a nonparametric bootstrap unit root test that specifically targets moving aver-age noise. Via a bootstrap functional central limit theorem, the consistency of this bootstrapapproach is established under general assumptions which allows a large family of non-linear timeseries. In simulation, this bootstrap test alleviates the size distortions of the Phillips-Perrontest while preserving its high powers.

description: The investigation of the subject of wine in ancient Egypt has concentrated on an overview of wine's origin and its history in Egypt, including the technical details of its manufacture, the information recorded on the wine jar seals and labels, along with the analysis of the jars' contents, and its use in religion, rather than a discussion of its broader economic and social role and its position in society. This thesis examines four texts from pAnastsi IV, which is dated to the reign of Seti II, and which contains references to wine, to show the importance and position of wine in Egyptian society of this period, outside its use in religion, and to examine the nature of the relationship between wine and the Egyptians. The four texts each involve a different aspect of wine and its use within society. The study of these four texts will show that wine was an inherent part of the lives of many Egyptians. Through the study of these four texts a greater understanding of the social and economic position of wine within Egyptian society of the 19th Dynasty, at many levels of society, is gained and important aspects of the nature of the relationship between wine and the Egyptians of this period is revealed.

description: The concept of pseudomagnitude was recently introduced by Chelli et al. (2016), to estimate apparent stellar diameters using a strictly observational methodology. Pseudomagnitudes are distance indicators, which have the remarkable property of being reddening free. In this study, we use Hipparcos parallax measurements to compute the mean absolute pseudomagnitudes of solar neighbourhood dwarf stars as a function of their spectral type. To illustrate the use of absolute pseudomagnitudes, we derive the distance moduli of $360$ Pleiades stars and find that the centroid of their distribution is $5.715\pm0.018$, corresponding to a distance of $139.0\pm1.2$\,pc. We locate the subset of $\sim 50$ Pleiades stars observed by Hipparcos at a mean distance of $135.5\pm3.7$\,pc, thus confirming the frequently reported anomaly in the Hipparcos measurements of these stars.

UEFA against the champions? An evaluation of the recent reform of the Champions League qualification

description: The UEFA Champions League is the major European club football competition, however, most national champions have to play qualification matches to receive a slot in the group stage of the tournament. The paper evaluates the impact of the only reform in the Champions Path of the qualifying system since 2009, effective from the 2018/19 season. While it is anticipated that the reduction in the number of berths decreases the probability of advancing to the group stage, the distribution of the effects among the national associations is revealed here via Monte-Carlo simulations. In contrast to previous studies, our methodology considers five seasons instead of only one to filter out any possible season-specific attributes. Almost all countries are found to gain less prize money on average. Several champions, including the Bulgarian, the Scottish, and, especially, the Swiss, might lose million Euros. As the consequences depend to a large extent on the arbitrary cutoffs in the access list, we propose to introduce some randomness into the determination of entry stages in the qualification.

The imprint of galaxy mergers on satellite planes in a cosmological context

description: Flattened and kinematically correlated planes of dwarf satellite galaxies have been observed in the Local Volume. The slinging out of satellites during host galaxy mergers has been suggested as a formation mechanism for these peculiar structures. We statistically examined the impact of major mergers on present-time satellite systems for the first time in a full cosmological context using the IllustrisTNG suite of hydrodynamic simulations. Mergers with mass ratios above 1/3 generally have a negligible or adverse impact on the phase-space correlation of observationally motivated satellites. Even high-angular momentum mergers are inefficient at slinging satellites outward due to the extended nature of simulated satellite distributions. Furthermore, any potential merger imprint is partially washed out by post-merger accretion of satellites, while satellites bound to the merging haloes since the merger's beginning are disrupted and stripped of mass - minimising the merger's influence on the present-time distribution of the most massive satellites after 2-5 Gyr. Constraining our sample to satellites bound to their host throughout the full duration of their system's last merger, we recover no particular improvement in their phase-space correlation. Instead, such participant satellites experience a contraction of their radial distribution during and after the merger, resulting in smaller absolute plane heights (but comparable axis ratios). Overall, major mergers do not appear to form correlated planes in a statistical sample. Mergers that efficiently transfer their angular momentum to satellite distributions can marginally enhance their phase-space correlation, but cannot form highly flattened and orbitally coherent configurations as observed in our local Universe.

description: Field surveys were carried out to record the elusive and little-known fossorial Nicobarese worm lizard Dibamus nicobaricum (Fitzinger in Steindachner, 1867) on seven of the 23 islands of the Nicobar archipelago. It was recorded from three new localities, two in Great Nicobar and the other from Teressa Island, extending the northern and southern boundaries of its distribution significantly. One of the individuals, a subadult male recorded during this study happens to be the smallest one ever recorded, measuring just 70 mm SVL. A predictive distribution model was developed based on the geo-coordinates of its occurrence with a reliable prediction of 25–100% probability on islands of the central and southern group of the Nicobar archipelago, diminishing to 12–25% on Car Nicobar, situated to the north. The Area Under the Curve (AUC) of the model was 0.907, indicating a reliable prediction. Status of D. nicobaricum was assessed for the first time as per the IUCN guidelines which reveal that it has to be considered as an endangered species based on its narrow distribution range.

description: This paper describes Centre for Development of Advanced Computing's (CDACM) submission to the shared task-'Tool Contest on POS tagging for Code-Mixed Indian Social Media (Facebook, Twitter, and Whatsapp) Text', collocated with ICON-2016. The shared task was to predict Part of Speech (POS) tag at word level for a given text. The code-mixed text is generated mostly on social media by multilingual users. The presence of the multilingual words, transliterations, and spelling variations make such content linguistically complex. In this paper, we propose an approach to POS tag code-mixed social media text using Recurrent Neural Network Language Model (RNN-LM) architecture. We submitted the results for Hindi-English (hi-en), Bengali-English (bn-en), and Telugu-English (te-en) code-mixed data.

The musical biopic: representing the lives of music artists in 21st century cinema
Creators: name: Spirou, Penelope
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis analyses the contemporary musical biopic (biographical film) examining theatrically released feature films from the years 2004 to 2007. Focusing on selected case studies, each chapter discusses the representation of actual musical artists including musicians, composers and singers. The musical biopics: El Cantante (2006), Control (2007), Beyond the Sea (2004), De-Lovely (2004), Walk the Line (2005), Ray (2004) and I'm Not There (2007) are analysed in depth. This thesis examines the text (the film itself) and context of the musical biopic. Through consideration of media representations of the respective music artists portrayed, the filmmakers and cast, significant factors are discussed including the omission and inclusion of certain biographical details, star/celebrity identities and cinematic elements such as visual imagery, narrative and musical integration; which shape the public perception of the persona. The musical biopic demonstrates that biography is a subjective interpretation of a life history. There can be no 'truth' or accurate re-telling of an actual life narrative. The contemporary musical biopic represents the public memory of the popular musical artist through exploring their various public/private identities, while focusing on a certain attribute or persona. The filmmaker unavoidably conveys a biased perspective of the protagonist, effectively re-interpreting and re-representing media sources. Through unique styles of depiction in musical integration, audio-visual representation, storyline and narrative, the contemporary musical biopic attempts to present an exclusive view of the popular music artist. Hence, the contemporary musical biopic re-mythologises the music artist, creating a fabricated account of a life history. Contributing predominantly to the discipline of film studies, this thesis is also significant to the areas of popular music studies, screen sound, biography and cultural studies. This thesis will draw attention to the undervalued scholarly study of the biopic, establishing new analytical tropes for further development in the field.
Dunkl translations, Dunkl-type $BMO$ space and Riesz transforms for Dunkl transform on $L^\infty$

description: In this paper, we will give some results on the support of Dunkl translations on compactly supported functions. Then we will define Dunkl-type $BMO$ space and Riesz transforms for Dunkl transform on $L^\infty$, and prove the boundedness of Riesz transforms from $L^\infty$ to Dunkl-type $BMO$ space under the uniform boundedness assumption of Dunkl translations. The proof and the definition in Dunkl setting will be harder than in the classical case for the lack of some similar properties of Dunkl translations to that of classical translations. We will also extend the preciseness of the description of support of Dunkl translations on characteristic functions by Gallardo and Rejeb to that on all nonnegative radial functions in $L^2(m_k)$.
