Riparian seed banks: a potential tool for revegetation to support riparian management and restoration
Creators: name: O'Donnell, Jessica

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis research focuses on soil and sediment seed banks within riparian zones and their potential application for the regeneration of riparian vegetation to support river management or river restoration activities. The research was carried out in the lower Hunter Valley catchment in south eastern Australia, and addresses four main aims: 1) to detect spatial trends in seed bank species richness, abundance and composition within the riparian zone and 2) to identify drivers of seed bank variability; 3) to assess the potential contribution of the seed bank to riparian vegetation and geomorphic river recovery; and 4) present implications for the use of seed bank-based revegetation as a tool in river management and restoration. The research examines the traits of species detected in the seed bank in relation to geomorphology and sedimentology, and perhaps most innovatively, biogeomorphology – the study of reciprocal interactions between vegetation and geomorphology that drive the succession of both. Four studies investigate: 1) riparian seed bank stratification in relation to geomorphology; 2) relationships between seed bank spatial variability, geomorphology and sedimentology; 3) the potential role of riparian seed banks in supporting biogeomorphic succession and river recovery; and 4) seed bank composition in relation to riparian condition. Collectively the research findings contribute a framework for distinguishing between areas of potentially high and low seed bank species richness (and to some extent abundance) in any riparian system, based on simple field indicators including vegetation, sedimentology and geomorphology. The research emphasises the suitability of riparian seed banks to support the stabilisation of sediment through the regeneration of the pioneer species which were found to dominate the seed bank. Potential challenges for seed bank-based revegetation are raised, such as the increasing presence of exotic and terrestrial species with riparian degradation. The thesis highlights situations for which seed-bank based regeneration may be particularly useful,such as initiating channel contraction processes through sediment stabilisation and aiding the establishment of groundcover in highly degraded river reaches.
Point Pair Feature based Object Detection for Random Bin Picking

Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Point pair features are a popular representation for free form 3D object detection and pose estimation. In this paper, their performance in an industrial random bin picking context is investigated. A new method to generate representative synthetic datasets is proposed. This allows to investigate the influence of a high degree of clutter and the presence of self similar features, which are typical to our application. We provide an overview of solutions proposed in literature and discuss their strengths and weaknesses. A simple heuristic method to drastically reduce the computational complexity is introduced, which results in improved robustness, speed and accuracy compared to the naive approach.
“LISTEN LOCAL, ACT GLOBAL”: BECOMING INTERESTED IN AND PAYING ATTENTION TO (INTER)NATIONAL SOUNDS IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY
Creators: name: Semi, Maria
Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna
Year: 2018
Subjects: L-ART/07 Musicologia e storia della musica

description: This chapter examines the growing awareness of the “national properties” of sounds in the eighteenth century, mainly from a British – and more specifically Scottish – perspective, and focusses especially on phenomena such as the collection of national airs, and the ballad revival (but ‘street cries’ could have been an equally suitable example). In this history Britain holds a peculiar place. After the Act of Union of 1707 British national identity was forged (a process that took over a hundred years), and “Britishness” had to be somehow invented. Sounds and music played their part in this process of invented tradition and cultural definition.

description: Tildrakizumab is an anti–interleukin-23 p19 monoclonal antibody approved for the treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Little real-world evidence is available regarding the effects of tildrakizumab on patients’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and patient-reported symptoms. This real-world study of tildrakizumab evaluated changes in HRQoL and clinical symptoms in patients with psoriasis. In this Week (W)28 interim analysis of a 64-week Phase 4 study (NCT03718299), patients received tildrakizumab 100 mg at W0, W4, and every 12 weeks thereafter. Endpoints were improvement from baseline in Psychological General Well-Being Index (PGWBI), Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), and Itch-, Pain-, and Scaling-Numerical Rating Scale scores through W28. Of 55 patients enrolled, 53 were assessed at W28. Mean (standard deviation [SD]) total PGWBI score improved from baseline to W28 (change, 3.7 [12.4]; p = .033), as did the positive well-being (1.0 [2.9]; p = .018) and general health (1.5 [2.2]; p < .001) domain scores. Mean (SD) DLQI score improved by −3.9 (4.3) at W4 and by −7.6 (5.1) at W28 (p < .001). Patient-reported symptoms improved starting at W4 (p < .001). Tildrakizumab treatment improved HRQoL and patient-reported symptoms in patients with psoriasis in a real-world setting. Clinical trial registration: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03718299
The role beliefs about language use play in the social construction of the EFL classroom

Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis presents an examination of the beliefs that non- native English speaker teachers had about using the first language (L1) and target language (TL) when teaching English, and how these beliefs influenced the social construction of the English classroom. The central idea for the thesis arose during the author's time as a teacher trainer in South Korea. During this time, it was noticed that despite government mandates supporting an English only approach to English learning, teachers were still reluctant to exclude their L1 completely. To investigate why teachers were resisting government mandates, beliefs were explored via a two-step series of intervirews which separated the development of beliefs into discrete stages to reveal the different influences acting on the formation of these beliefs. The stages were divided into initial assumptions about language use, tentative attitudes, and then firmer beliefs. Important influences that acted upon the participants included the language use of their own language teachers, when they attended training courses which espoused L1 exclusion theories, the influence of students in the classroom, as well as institutional influences. Once these beliefs were revealed, they were then linked to the classroom actions of the participants via an analysis of their classroom language use. This analysis employed a theoretical framework which had Basil Berstein's sociological theories of pedagogic discourse at its core. This framework revealed how teachers' beliefs influenced the recontextualization of teaching materials into the classroom, chamging the nature of the original social and power relations from the appropriated discourse with new, virtual-social and power relations of the classroom. It established that participants with strong beliefs about maximizing English exposure often positioned students so that they had less opportunity to assist in the co-construction of the learning environment compared to participants who valued a larger role for the L1.

description: In this paper, we compute the first set of ${\cal O}(α_s^2)$ corrections to semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering structure functions. We start by studying the impact of the contribution of the partonic subprocesses that open at this order for the longitudinal structure function. We perform the full calculation analytically, and obtain the expression of the factorized cross section at this order. Special care is given to the study of their flavour decomposition structure. We analyze the phenomenological effect of the corrections finding that, even though expected to be small a priori, it turns out to be sizable with respect to the previous order know, calling for a full NNLO calculation.

description: This study examined how integrating two or more SMAC technologies (social media, mobile, analytics and cloud) add business value to organisations. Data was collected from fourteen business and technology stakeholders using semi-structured interviews to investigate critical success factors and barriers of adoption and integration of SMAC technologies. The data was analysed using a conceptual framework using the technology-organisation-environment (TOE) model integrated with value creation theories: value chains, value shops, and value networks. The findings show that relative advantage, compatibility, management support, technology competence, and competitive pressure were critical success factors for the integration of two or more SMAC technologies. Complexity, security, and government regulations were barriers to the integration of two or more SMAC technologies. Firm size was both a critical success factor and a barrier. The findings show that the integration of two or more SMAC technologies improve efficiency, resource optimisation, speed, business agility, competitive advantage, and enhanced customer experience. One possible limitation of this study was that only organisations in Australia were included. The results may be different in other countries. A second limitation was that the limited number of value chain organisations compared to value shops and value networks. Future research into value creation from the integration of various interrelated digital technologies integration (e.g., analytics & Internet of Things, cloud & artificial intelligence). The conceptual framework could be used in future studies to examine emerging and new applications of existing technologies to examine the integration of technologies and how these technologies add value in value chains, value shops, and value networks.
The heat trace for the drifting Laplacian and Schrödinger operators on manifolds

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Differential Geometry (math.DG)

description: We study the heat trace for both the drifting Laplacian as well as Schrödinger operators on compact Riemannian manifolds. In the case of a finite regularity potential or weight function, we prove the existence of a partial (six term) asymptotic expansion of the heat trace for small times as well as a suitable remainder estimate. We also demonstrate that the more precise asymptotic behavior of the remainder is determined by and conversely distinguishes higher (Sobolev) regularity on the potential or weight function. In the case of a smooth weight function, we determine the full asymptotic expansion of the heat trace for the drifting Laplacian for small times. We then use the heat trace to study the asymptotics of the eigenvalue counting function. In both cases the Weyl law coincides with the Weyl law for the Riemannian manifold with the standard Laplace-Beltrami operator. We conclude by demonstrating isospectrality results for the drifting Laplacian on compact manifolds.

description: Five-year tildrakizumab safety data have been reported as exposure-adjusted incidence rates (EAIRs) of patients with events per 100 patient-years (PYs) of exposure. To present 5-year safety data from reSURFACE 1/2 phase 3 trials as EAIRs of events per 100 PYs of exposure, and the number needed to harm (NNH) for one adverse event of special interest (AESI) to occur. Pooled analysis from two randomized controlled trials in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis (n = 1800). PSOLAR registry was used as safety reference data for NNH estimation. Rates of AESI with tildrakizumab were comparable with rates reported in PSOLAR. The NNH for one-year severe infection occurrence was 412 with tildrakizumab 200 mg, and negative for tildrakizumab 100 mg due to lower rates in reSURFACE trials; the NNH for malignancy was 990 for one year with tildrakizumab 100 mg (negative for tildrakizumab 200 mg); and the NNH for major adverse cardiovascular events was 355 for one year with tildrakizumab 200 mg (negative for tildrakizumab 100 mg). Tildrakizumab demonstrated a favorable safety profile over 5 years with low rates of AESI, comparable to those of the PSOLAR. Consequently, the NNH for AESI with tildrakizumab were very high or negative due to lower event rates for tildrakizumab.

description: Background Expert guidelines recommend low-risk women to consume a daily multivitamin supplement containing 400 µg of folic acid (FA) to prevent the occurrence of neural tube defects. This study assessed the knowledge, attitude and practice of physicians regarding FA recommendations, status and health outcomes during pregnancy since physicians play an essential role in promoting appropriate FA intake. Methods A cross-sectional survey of a sample of physicians practicing in the National Capital Region was self-administered in 2018-2019. Results Approximately 70% of physicians were not familiar with the most recent guidelines and 55% of them most often recommend a 1000 µg-FA supplement. A high level of willingness to recommend a supplement containing 400 µg-FA was reported by almost all physicians. Conclusion While most physicians would not feel comfortable recommending a supplement that is not in line with the most recent evidence-based guidelines, educational programs targeted to physicians are needed to improve their knowledge, attitude and practice.

description: Intralesional corticosteroid administration (ICA) is a first-line therapy in keloid treatment. However, its clinical results are still highly variable and often suboptimal. Treatment results may strongly be influenced by various ways of ICA. To explore the prevailing practice of ICA in keloid treatment among dermatologists and plastic surgeons in the Netherlands The survey was constructed based on a scoping review on ICA in keloid treatment. Members of the Dutch Society for Plastic surgery and the Dutch Society for Dermatology and Venereology were asked to participate. One-hundred-thirty-six responses were obtained. One-hundred-thirty (95.6%) participants used triamcinolone acetonide. The majority (54.7%) did not use local anesthesia for pain reduction. Reported corticosteroid dosing that one would inject in one specific keloid differed by a factor of 40. Treatment intervals varied from 1 week to more than 8 weeks. The keloid centre was most often injected (46.9%), followed by subepidermal (18.0%). A wide variety in ICA for keloids is noted among dermatologists and plastic surgeons, even in a limited geographic region and when evidence points towards an optimal way of treatment. Future studies and better implementation of existing evidence may reduce variation in ICA and optimize its treatment results.

description: The negative effects of misinformation filter bubbles in adaptive systems have been known to researchers for some time. Several studies investigated, most prominently on YouTube, how fast a user can get into a misinformation filter bubble simply by selecting wrong choices from the items offered. Yet, no studies so far have investigated what it takes to burst the bubble, i.e., revert the bubble enclosure. We present a study in which pre-programmed agents (acting as YouTube users) delve into misinformation filter bubbles by watching misinformation promoting content (for various topics). Then, by watching misinformation debunking content, the agents try to burst the bubbles and reach more balanced recommendation mixes. We recorded the search results and recommendations, which the agents encountered, and analyzed them for the presence of misinformation. Our key finding is that bursting of a filter bubble is possible, albeit it manifests differently from topic to topic. Moreover, we observe that filter bubbles do not truly appear in some situations. We also draw a direct comparison with a previous study. Sadly, we did not find much improvements in misinformation occurrences, despite recent pledges by YouTube.

description: The risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection does not appear to be increased for psoriasis patients using biologics compared to those on other treatments, but evidence is still limited. (1) to estimate the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with psoriasis, (2) to compare SARS-CoV-2 infection rates for different psoriasis treatments groups (biologic vs. systemic conventional vs. topical therapy) corrected for confounders and (3) to describe patients with severe COVID-19 for all treatment groups. In this cross-sectional cohort study all patients received a questionnaire to gather data on psoriasis treatment, SARS-CoV-2 infections and related risk factors. Simultaneously, they underwent a blood test to screen for antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 N-antigen. Prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infections was calculated and logistic regression and Cox proportional-hazards models were performed to determine the association between treatment group and SARS-CoV-2 infection risk, corrected for confounders. Patients with severe COVID-19 disease were described and the mortality rate per treatment group was calculated for the target population. Patients were included between April 12 2021 and October 31 2021. Of 551 patients, 59 (10.7% (CI95% 8.3–13.6)) had experienced a SARS-CoV-2 infection, based on questionnaire data combined with serological data. In our study cohort, corrected for confounders, biologic or non-biologic systemic therapy users did not appear to have increased SARS-CoV-2 infection risk compared to patients using other treatment. Only 4 hospitalizations (0.7% (CI95% 0.2–1.0) were reported in our study population and no ICU admissions were reported. The rough mortality rate in the target cohort was 0.32% (CI95% 0.13–0.66) in all treatment groups. Corrected for risk-mitigating behavior and vaccination status, a higher SARS-CoV-2 incidence for biologics or non-biologics systemics compared to other treatments could not be proven. Severe cases were infrequent in all treatment groups. This finding further strengthens treatment recommendations that systemic therapies for patients with psoriasis do not require preventive cessation for reduction of SARS-CoV-2 infection risk.

description: Despite the prevalence and disease burden of Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders (FGIDs), there are still several notable lacunae in the FGID research in terms of clearly classifying them by using a symptom-based approach, and the current psychological models of FGIDs. This thesis compared the patterns of psychological factors between two FGIDs. Additionally, an integrated psychological model of FGIDs was proposed and aspects of it were tested. Specifically, inter-relationships between FGID-specific psychological factors and a potential protective factor were tested. A series of analytical techniques were used. This thesis is presented in the form of three manuscript style chapters, preceded by a general introduction and followed with a general discussion. The first paper compared the patterns of psychological factors in two FGIDs (Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Functional Constipation), with the intention of expanding scientific knowledge about Functional Constipation, which has received little study. The second paper examined the inter-relationships between FGID-related illness representations, visceral sensitivity and mindfulness skills, and their influence on FGID symptoms and reported symptom severity. The third paper used a case series to examine the dynamic relationships between irritable bowel syndrome symptoms, distress, visceral sensitivity, and negative emotions as a result of an eight-week mindfulness skills training program. This last paper also compared the relative influence of visceral sensitivity versus generic negative emotions on FGID-related distress to ascertain the importance of visceral sensitivity in FGIDs. The findings from this thesis contribute to the field of FGID research by expanding our understanding of Functional Constipation, which has implications for the psychological treatment available for it. The results in this thesis also validate aspects of an integrated psychological model of FGIDs by increasing our understanding of the psychological factors specific to FGIDs, as well as considering the role of protective factors in FGIDs, which were hitherto unstudied.

description: Patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) experience skin lesions and intense itch that substantially affect quality of life. Patients have choices among systemic AD treatments that offer varied benefit–risk profiles. Measure patients’ willingness to trade off the risks and benefits of systemic treatments among individuals with a physician-confirmed diagnosis of moderate-to-severe AD. Patients participated in a discrete choice experiment online survey with a series of choices between hypothetical AD treatments defined by six attributes reflecting benefits and risks of treatments (itch reduction, time until noticeable itch reduction, chance of clear or almost clear skin, risk of serious infection, risk of developing acne, and need for prescription topical steroids). Data were analyzed with a random parameters logit model to quantify preferences and the relative importance of attributes for treatment alternatives. Respondents (n = 200) placed the highest relative importance on itch reduction, speed of itch reduction, and skin clearance, and were generally willing to accept clinically relevant levels of risk of serious infection and acne in exchange for treatment benefits. Patients with moderate-to-severe AD were willing to trade clinically relevant treatment risks for greater or more rapid itch reduction and skin clearance offered by systemic therapies.

description: We address the problem of long-range memory in the financial markets. There are two conceptually different ways to reproduce power-law decay of auto-correlation function: using fractional Brownian motion as well as non-linear stochastic differential equations. In this contribution we address this problem by analyzing empirical return and trading activity time series from the Forex. From the empirical time series we obtain probability density functions of burst and inter-burst duration. Our analysis reveals that the power-law exponents of the obtained probability density functions are close to $3/2$, which is a characteristic feature of the one-dimensional stochastic processes. This is in a good agreement with earlier proposed model of absolute return based on the non-linear stochastic differential equations derived from the agent-based herding model.

Reactors as a source of antineutrinos: the effect of fuel loading and burnup for mixed oxide fuels

description: In a conventional light water reactor loaded with a range of uranium and plutonium-based fuel mixtures, the variation in antineutrino production over the cycle reflects both the initial core fissile inventory and its evolution. Under the assumption of constant thermal power, we calculate the rate at which antineutrinos are emitted from variously fueled cores, and the evolution of that rate as measured by a representative ton-scale antineutrino detector. We find that antineutrino flux decreases with burnup for Low Enriched Uranium cores, increases for full mixed-oxide (MOX) cores, and does not appreciably change for cores with a MOX fraction of approximately 75%. Accounting for uncertainties in the fission yields, in the emitted antineutrino spectra, and the detector response function, we show that the difference in core-wide MOX fractions at least as small as 8% can be distinguished using a hypothesis test. The test compares the evolution of the antineutrino rate relative to an initial value over part or all of the cycle. The use of relative rates reduces the sensitivity of the test to an independent thermal power measurement, making the result more robust against possible countermeasures. This rate-only approach also offers the potential advantage of reducing the cost and complexity of the antineutrino detectors used to verify the diversion, compared to methods that depend on the use of the antineutrino spectrum. A possible application is the verification of the disposition of surplus plutonium in nuclear reactors.

description: Topological semimetals are characterized by protected crossings between conduction and valence bands. These materials have recently attracted significant interest because of the deep connections to high-energy physics, the novel topological surface states, and the unusual transport phenomena. While Dirac and Weyl semimetals have been extensively studied, the nodal-line semimetal remains largely unexplored due to the lack of an ideal material platform. In this paper, we report the magneto-transport properties of two nodal-line semimetal candidates CaAgAs and CaCdGe. First, our single crystalline CaAgAs supports the first "hydrogen atom" nodal-line semimetal, where only the topological nodal-line is present at the Fermi level. Second, our CaCdGe sample provides an ideal platform to perform comparative studies because it features the same topological nodal line but has a more complicated Fermiology with irrelevant Fermi pockets. As a result, the magnetoresistance of our CaCdGe sample is more than 100 times larger than that of CaAgAs. Through our systematic magneto-transport and first-principles band structure calculations, we show that our CaTX compounds can be used to study, isolate, and control the novel topological nodal-line physics in real materials.
