description: In practice, the parameters of control policies are often tuned manually. This is time-consuming and frustrating. Reinforcement learning is a promising alternative that aims to automate this process, yet often requires too many experiments to be practical. In this paper, we propose a solution to this problem by exploiting prior knowledge from simulations, which are readily available for most robotic platforms. Specifically, we extend Entropy Search, a Bayesian optimization algorithm that maximizes information gain from each experiment, to the case of multiple information sources. The result is a principled way to automatically combine cheap, but inaccurate information from simulations with expensive and accurate physical experiments in a cost-effective manner. We apply the resulting method to a cart-pole system, which confirms that the algorithm can find good control policies with fewer experiments than standard Bayesian optimization on the physical system only.

description: We present five decades of chromospheric activity measurements in 59 Sun-like stars as time series. These include and extend the 35 yr of stellar chromospheric activity observations by the Mount Wilson Survey (1966--2001), and continued observations at Keck by the California Planet Search (1996--). The Mount Wilson Survey was studied closely in 1995, and revealed periodic activity cycles similar to the Sun's 11 yr cycle. The California Planet Search provides more than five decades of measurements, significantly improving our understanding of these stars' activity behavior. We have curated the activity measurements in order to create contiguous time series, and have classified the stellar sample according to a predetermined system. We have analyzed 29 stars with periodic cycles using the Lomb-Scargle periodogram, and present best-fit sinusoids to their activity time series. We report the best-fit periods for each cycling star, along with stellar parameters (T$_{eff}$, log(g), v$sin(i)$, etc.) for the entire sample. As a first application of these data, we offer a possible Maunder minimum candidate, HD 166620.

Developing a radiocarbon-based chronology for Tel Azekah: the first stage
Creators: name: Webster, Lyndelle
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The need for more systematic, integrated use of radiocarbon dating within excavations of ancient Near Eastern sites for historical periods is well recognised. This thesis presents the first stage in developing an independent radiocarbon-based chronology for the site of Tel Azekah, Israel. Fifteen short-lived samples collected over three excavation seasons have been dated, deriving from Middle Bronze through to Hellenistic contexts. The results of this initial dataset, together with radiocarbon-specific fieldwork, have contributed to developing an effective methodology and working procedures for ongoing research.Targeted collection of datable material commenced in the 2015 excavation season, facilitated by a field role specific to radiocarbon research. The first radiocarbon dataset for Tel Azekah focuses on the site’s peak period of occupation – the Late Bronze Age. A sequence of samples allowed a major public building to be dated close to the first half of the 12th century BCE, with comparisons drawn to radiocarbon-dated strata of other sites. The sequence offers excellent potential for improvement and expansion in future research. A tentative date for a Middle Bronze destruction was obtained, which is consistent with a wider regional pattern. This research has placed some initial ‘pegs’ for the site’s absolute chronology, and helped to set directions for the next stages of work. It has highlighted well the benefits of involving radiocarbon dating as an active part of archaeological interpretation.

description: By means of electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry, it was evidenced experimentally that the ammonium cation (NH4+) reacts with the electroneutral [2.2.2]paracyclophane ligand (C24H24) to form the cationic complex [NH4(C24H24)]+. Moreover, applying quantum chemical calculations, the most probable conformation of the proven [NH4(C24H24)]+ complex was solved. In the complex [NH4(C24H24)]+ having a symmetry very close to C3, the ‘central’ cation NH4+ is coordinated by three strong bifurcated intramolecular hydrogen bonds to the corresponding six carbon atoms from the three benzene rings of [2.2.2]paracyclophane via cation–π interaction. Finally, the interaction energy, E(int), of the considered complex [NH4(C24H24)]+ was evaluated as −625.8 kJ/mol, confirming the formation of this fascinating complex species as well. It means that the [2.2.2]paracyclophane ligand can be considered as an effective receptor for the ammonium cation in the gas phase.

description: Objective: The objective of this article is to provide empirical evidence for safe speed limits that will meet the objectives of the Safe System by examining the relationship between speed limit and injury severity for different crash types, using police-reported crash data. Method: Police-reported crashes from 2 Australian jurisdictions were used to calculate a fatal crash rate by speed limit and crash type. Example safe speed limits were defined using threshold risk levels. Results: A positive exponential relationship between speed limit and fatality rate was found. For an example fatality rate threshold of 1 in 100 crashes it was found that safe speed limits are 40 km/h for pedestrian crashes; 50 km/h for head-on crashes; 60 km/h for hit fixed object crashes; 80 km/h for right angle, right turn, and left road/rollover crashes; and 110 km/h or more for rear-end crashes. Conclusions: The positive exponential relationship between speed limit and fatal crash rate is consistent with prior research into speed and crash risk. The results indicate that speed zones of 100 km/h or more only meet the objectives of the Safe System, with regard to fatal crashes, where all crash types except rear-end crashes are exceedingly rare, such as on a high standard restricted access highway with a safe roadside design.

description: The quantum Hall effects in the sliding bilayer graphene and AAB-stacked trilayer system are investigated by the Kubo formula and the generalized tight-binding model. The various stacking configurations can greatly diversify the magnetic quantization and thus create the rich and unique transport properties. The quantum conductivities are very sensitive to the Fermi energy and magnetic-field strength. The diverse features cover the specific non-integer conductivities, the integer conductivities with the distinct steps, the splitting-created reduction and complexity of quantum conductivity, a vanishing or non-zero conductivity at the neutral point, and the well-like, staircase, composite, and abnormal plateau structures in the field-dependencies. Such stacking-dependent characteristics mainly originate from the crossing, anticrossing and splitting Landau-level energy spectra and three kinds of quantized modes.

description: China and some other Asian countries have experienced skewed sex ratios, triggering intense competition and pressure in the marriage market. Meanwhile, China has more smokers than any other country, with half of men smoke while few women smoke. Men are the major income earners in most Chinese families and thus bear much of the financial burden in preparation for children’s marriage. This paper investigates how a demographic factor—a large number of surplus men in the marriage market in China—affects their fathers’ smoking behavior. We utilize a household longitudinal survey as well as a random subsample of the China Population Census to examine fathers’ smoking in response to skewed sex ratios. Strikingly, fathers smoke more for families with a son living in counties with higher sex ratios. In contrast, those with a daughter do not demonstrate this pattern. Coping with the marriage market pressure is a most plausible pathway linking skewed sex ratios and intense smoking among fathers. Considering worsening sex ratios and highly competitive marriage market in the coming decade as well as lasting health impacts due to smoking, policies suppressing unbalanced sex ratios could lead to welfare gains.

description: The balanced initial fixation of an implant makes up a crucial condition for its long-term survival. However, the quantification of initial fixation is no easy task and, to date, only qualitative assess- ments can be made. Although the concept of measuring fixation by means of vibration analysis is already widely used in dental implantology, the rigorous application of this method for the assessment of the fixation of femoral and acetabular components remains a challenge. More- over, most studies on this subject have tended to focus solely on the femoral stem even though acetabular cup fixation is also important and even more difficult with respect to qualitative mea- surement. This study describes a comprehensive experiment aimed at assessing acetabular cup fixation. Fixation is expressed in terms of the impact force and polar gap variables, which are correlated with the modal properties of the acetabular implant during the various insertion stages. The predictive capabilities of modal frequencies and frequency functions were investigated by means of surrogate models based on the Gaussian process and functional principal component analysis. The prediction accuracy of the proposed models was in the range 85 – 92%. The results indicate that natural frequencies, reduced frequency, impact force and polar gap features provide great potential in terms of the prediction of implant fixation.

description: Raman scattering has been employed to investigate lattice and magnetic excitations of the honeycomb Kitaev material $α$-RuCl$_3$ and its Heisenberg counterpart CrCl$_3$. Our phonon Raman spectra give evidence for a first-order structural transition from a monoclinic to a rhombohedral structure for both compounds. Significantly, only $α$-RuCl$_3$ features a large thermal hysteresis, consistent with the formation of a wide phase of coexistence. In the related temperature interval of $70-170$ K, we observe a hysteretic behavior of magnetic excitations as well. The stronger magnetic response in the rhombohedral compared to the monoclinic phase evidences a coupling between the crystallographic structure and low-energy magnetic response. Our results demonstrate that the Kitaev magnetism concomitant with fractionalized excitations is susceptible to small variations of bonding geometry.

description: Asthma is a common, chronic inflammatory airway disorder, with up to 1,177,000 people receiving asthma treatment in Japan. Dupilumab is a first-in-class, monoclonal antibody for the treatment of atopic diseases, including persistent asthma. The objective of this study was to assess the cost-effectiveness of dupilumab, compared with other biologics, as add-on treatment to background therapy in patients aged ≥12 years with uncontrolled, persistent asthma in Japan. A life-time Markov cohort model was used to conduct cost-effectiveness analysis from the Japanese healthcare payer perspective with an annual discount rate of 2%. Dupilumab was compared with benralizumab and mepolizumab, and against omalizumab (as a hypothetical scenario). Inputs were informed by dupilumab clinical trials (VENTURE [NCT02528214] and QUEST [NCT02414854] trials), the literature, official Japanese sources and expert opinions. The base case results suggest that treatment with dupilumab leads to fewer severe exacerbations and increased life-years (LYs) and quality-adjusted LYs (QALYs) than benralizumab and mepolizumab. At a willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold of ¥5,000,000 per QALY gained, dupilumab was the dominant strategy (lower cost, increased QALYs) versus benralizumab, and cost-effective versus mepolizumab with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of ¥1,010,921 (US$9,190, US$1 = ¥110). Versus omalizumab, dupilumab was not cost-effective (ICER of ¥10,802,368 [US$98,203]). In Japan, dupilumab, as an add-on to background therapy, is economically dominant compared with benralizumab, and cost-effective versus mepolizumab.
Organisational career management in a protean and boundaryless world: a mixed-methods study

Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Employee development is an integral component of strategic human resources management to engage and retain employees. Protean and boundaryless career theories suggest that that organisational responsibility for employee career development has decreased. This theoretical shift was based on the assumption that with increased organisational change, downsizing, and re-structuring, employees would no longer be in a position to rely on organisations to support their career development, and instead employees would need to take responsibility for their own employability. More than two decades after these initial assertions, a small body of empirical research has highlighted that this shift from organisation to individual responsibility has not been as dramatic as first hypothesised. Rather than diminishing, the role of organisations in career development is as important as ever. This paradox between theory and practice highlights a gap in theoretical understanding of the role of the organisation in career development. In this PhD thesis, we place organisational career management (OCM) under the research microscope. First, data on the types and frequencies of individual OCM practices reported in the 1996, 1999, 2004, 2009, and 2015 Australian Cranet surveys was examined. Counterintuitive findings indicate that the use of more than half the OCM practices increased over time. Second, we interviewed 51 employees to investigate their perception of OCM. Employees identified both formal and informal OCM, and findings highlight that rather than operating in opposition, individually-driven career development and OCM are working in partnership. Next, in an effort to understand how organisations can support employees navigating voluntary career change, a systematic and theoretical review of voluntary career change was conducted. This review highlights lack of empirical research on the utility of important and well-developed career transition models and the importance of organisational factors in buffering the negative impact on employees during the pre-career change period. Finally, further investigating two of the factors that support employee engagement in OCM, we adapted the social cognitive model of career self-management to examine the factors that enable career adaptive behaviours for employees navigating career change. Our findings demonstrate that the social cognitive model of career self-management model is a useful framework for design of strategic organisational career management systems. Our overall findings indicate OCM remains an important component of a human resources strategy.

description: Strange hadron production in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}~=~7$ TeV is studied in jets and underlying events using the PYTHIA8 event generator. Matching strange hadrons to the jet area and the underlying event area is expected to help us disentangle the strange particles produced in hard and soft processes. The yield and the relative production of strange hadrons dependent on the event multiplicity are investigated with the color reconnection and color rope mechanisms implemented in the PYTHIA8 framework. It is found that the inclusive strange hadron productions can be reasonably described by the color reconnection and color rope combined effects. A significant multiplicity dependent enhancement of the strange baryon production in the jet area is observed induced by the modified string fragmentation mechanisms, indicating the strange baryon enhancement persists in both the hard and the soft process. Multi-strange baryons are found to be more collimated with the jet axis than other strange hadrons in the string fragmentation picture with the jet shape analysis technique. Future experimental examination of these jet related strange hadron productions will provide more insight to the origin of strangeness enhancement in small systems.

description: The Web is our primary source of all kinds of information today. This includes information about software as well as associated materials, like source code, documentation, related publications and change logs. Such data is of particular importance in research in order to conduct, comprehend and reconstruct scientific experiments that involve software. swMATH, a mathematical software directory, attempts to identify software mentions in scientific articles and provides additional information as well as links to the Web. However, just like software itself, the Web is dynamic and most likely the information on the Web has changed since it was referenced in a scientific publication. Therefore, it is crucial to preserve the resources of a software on the Web to capture its states over time. We found that around 40% of the websites in swMATH are already included in an existing Web archive. Out of these, 60% of contain some kind of documentation and around 45% even provide downloads of software artifacts. Hence, already today links can be established based on the publication dates of corresponding articles. The contained data enable enriching existing information with a temporal dimension. In the future, specialized infrastructure will improve the coverage of software resources and allow explicit references in scientific publications.

description: The optical properties of the two-dimensional (2D) crystals are dominated by tightly bound electron-hole pairs (excitons) and lattice vibration modes (phonons). The exciton-phonon interaction is fundamentally important to understand the optical properties of 2D materials and thus help develop emerging 2D crystal based optoelectronic devices. Here, we presented the excitonic resonant Raman scattering (RRS) spectra of few-layer WS$_2$ excited by 11 lasers lines covered all of A, B and C exciton transition energies at different sample temperatures from 4 to 300 K. As a result, we are not only able to probe the forbidden phonon modes unobserved in ordinary Raman scattering, but also can determine the bright and dark state fine structures of 1s A exciton. In particular, we also observed the quantum interference between low-energy discrete phonon and exciton continuum under resonant excitation. Our works pave a way to understand the exciton-phonon coupling and many-body effects in 2D materials.

description: Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) reveals unusual sharp features in otherwise defect free bismuth nanolines self-assembled on Si(001). They appear as subatomic thin lines perpendicular to the bismuth nanoline at positive biases and as atomic size beads at negative biases. Density functional theory (DFT) simulations show that these features can be attributed to buckled Si dimers substituting for Bi dimers in the nanoline, where the sharp feature is the counterintuitive signature of these dimers flipping during scanning. The perfect correspondence between the STM data and the DFT simulation demonstrated in this study highlights the detailed understanding we have of the complex Bi-Si(001) Haiku system.

The roles of the Interpreter in political settings: a case study of the Chinese government’s in-house interpreters in press conferences

Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Interpreting is commonly recognised as an oral form of translation intended to facilitate communication across linguistic or cultural barriers (Pochhacker, 2004). Since interpreting is fundamentally a language-based activity, the roles of the interpreter are enacted through his or her use of language in context. The aim of this study is to understand the interpreter’s roles in practice, or more specifically, the roles of the interpreters in the Premier’s NPC (National People'sCongress) and CPPCC (Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference) press conference in China, a high-profile political event, which is also known as the two-session press conference. For this objective, the study uses a specialized corpus built out of these political events; and adopts systemic functional linguistics (SFL) as its theoretical and analytical framework. The study investigates the interpersonal choices made by the interpreters and the context in which these choices are made, particularly in relation to the changes in speaker, addressee and topic of the question and answer set in the interpreting practice. The study finds that the Chinese government in-house interpreters perform dual roles in the press conferences: as a professional interpreter, and as a civil servant. On the one hand, the interpreters are committed to their professionalism in providing a linguistic service only in communication. On the other hand, they respond to the influence of their institutional allegiance. These two roles are by and large determined by the context in which the interpreting takes place. The in-house interpreters have to decide their performance choices in communication with full consideration of the context in which they are interpreting, thereby making corresponding choices at both lexicogrammatical and semantic levels. By investigating the interpreters’ roles and their linguistic choices from the perspective of systemic functional linguistics and on the basis of a specialised corpus, the study offers benefits to both interpreting practitioners and researchers, by: 1) providing linguistic evidence that the interpreters tend to play a proactive role in an interpreter-mediated event; 2) demonstrating that the linguistic choices made by the interpreters are reflective of the contextual constraints they face; and 3) shedding light on future corpus-based interpreting studies.

description: We investigate numerically the Princeton magneto-rotational instability (MRI) experiment and the effect of conducting axial boundaries or endcaps. MRI is identified and found to reach a much higher saturation than for insulating endcaps. This is probably due to stronger driving of the base flow by the magnetically rather than viscously coupled boundaries. Although the computations are necessarily limited to lower Reynolds numbers ($\Re$) than their experimental counterparts, it appears that the saturation level becomes independent of $\Re$ when $\Re$ is sufficiently large, whereas it has been found previously to decrease roughly as $\Re^{-1/4}$ with insulating endcaps. The much higher saturation levels will allow for the first positive detection of MRI beyond its theoretical and numerical predictions.

description: Animals have evolved intriguing mating strategies, through sexual selection, that presumably maximize their lifetime reproductive success. Sexually cannibalistic systems are a fascinating mating system in which to study the evolution of reproductive behaviour. This allows us to understand how male and female mating strategies evolve through the inter-relationship of sexual selection and sexual cannibalism. Even though sexually cannibalistic mating systems are widely used in describing female mating strategies, evidence for male mating strategies in such systems is sparse. Therefore, this thesis investigates how sexual selection and sexual cannibalism shape pre- and post-mating strategies in the false garden mantid Pseudomantis albofimbriata with a focus on male mating behaviour. More specifically, this research provides evidence for; 1) the selection of male traits that aid in effective and efficient mate location where males with more trichoid sensilla on their antennae locate females more quickly, 2) context dependent strategic male mating resource investment in response to sexual cannibalism (but not female quality), 3) potential post-copulatory paternity assurance mechanisms through a prolonged female refractory period. Finally, my thesis provides evidence and explanations for why males do not reject highly risky females in a sexually cannibalistic mating system. My thesis makes contributions to behavioural ecology and evolution, as it explores and describes this intriguing mating system from the male perspective.

description: We demonstrate a simple, compact, and cost-effective laser noise reduction method for stabilizing an extended cavity diode laser to a 3x105 finesse mirror Fabry-Pérot (F-P) cavity corresponding to resonance linewidth of 10 kHz using a crystalline MgF2 whispering gallery mode microresonator (WGMR). The laser linewidth is reduced to sub-kHz such that a stable Pound-Drever-Hall (PDH) error signal is built up. The wavelength of the pre-stabilized laser is tunable within a large bandwidth covering the high reflection mirror coating of a F-P supercavity.

description: Coffee intake has been inversely associated with asthma in adults. We examined the relation between urinary levels of caffeine or caffeine metabolites and asthma, lung function, and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) in adults. Cross-sectional study of 2,832 adults aged 18-79 years in the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Multivariable logistic or linear regression was used for the analysis of urinary levels of caffeine or each of its three major metabolites (paraxanthine, theobromine, and theophylline) and current asthma, lung function, and FeNO. Subjects with urinary paraxanthine levels in the fourth quartile (Q4) had 53% lower odds of current asthma than those whose urinary paraxanthine levels were in the first quartile (Q1; 95% confidence = 0.22 to 1.00). Among never and former smokers, subjects with urinary theophylline levels above Q1 had 49% lower odds of current asthma than those whose urinary theophylline level was in Q1 (95% CI = 0.31 to 0.85). Among subjects without current asthma, each log10-unit increment in paraxanthine level was associated with a 0.83% increment in percent predicted (%pred) FEV1 and a 1.27% increment in %pred FVC, while each log10-unit in theophylline was associated with a 1.24% increment in %pred FVC. Neither urinary caffeine nor any urinary caffeine metabolite was associated with bronchodilator response or FeNO. Our findings suggest that two caffeine metabolites (theophylline and paraxanthine) may contribute to the previously reported inverse association between coffee intake and asthma in adults.

description: Iris recognition systems are a mature technology that is widely used throughout the world. In identification (as opposed to verification) mode, an iris to be recognized is typically matched against all N enrolled irises. This is the classic "1-to-N search". In order to improve the speed of large-scale identification, a modified "1-to-First" search has been used in some operational systems. A 1-to-First search terminates with the first below-threshold match that is found, whereas a 1-to-N search always finds the best match across all enrollments. We know of no previous studies that evaluate how the accuracy of 1-to-First search differs from that of 1-to-N search. Using a dataset of over 50,000 iris images from 2,800 different irises, we perform experiments to evaluate the relative accuracy of 1-to-First and 1-to-N search. We evaluate how the accuracy difference changes with larger numbers of enrolled irises, and with larger ranges of rotational difference allowed between iris images. We find that False Match error rate for 1-to-First is higher than for 1-to-N, and the the difference grows with larger number of enrolled irises and with larger range of rotation.

description: This paper deals with the study of principal Lyapunov exponents, principal Floquet subspaces, and exponential separation for positive random linear dynamical systems in ordered Banach spaces. The main contribution lies in the introduction of a new type of exponential separation, called of type II, important for its application to nonautonomous random differential equations with delay. Under weakened assumptions, the existence of an exponential separation of type II in an abstract general setting is shown, and an illustration of its application to dynamical systems generated by scalar linear random delay differential equations with finite delay is given.

Work, anthropology, and human determination in the thought of Schiller, Marx, and Marcuse
Creators: name: Moll, Karl Nicholas
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis will trace the evolution of the relationship between concepts of work activity and human nature within a particular strand of German social philosophy, represented by Friedrich Schiller, Karl Marx, and Herbert Marcuse. By analysing the writings of these three key theorists, the thesis explores the value of the concept of work activity, defined as the human being's socially mediated interaction with the natural world, as a social-theoretical resource. In recent years this concept has been underutilised to the detriment of critical social theory, particularly in light of the specific socio-political issues that have emerged in the late capitalist era. Through the analysis of Schiller, Marx, and Marcuse, a case is put forward for a renewal of critical social theory around such a conception of work. The guiding idea is that critical social theory stands in need of a philosophical anthropology which approaches the individual human subject as a unified and complete being, whose freedom may be conceived as activated, as well as circumscribed, by the human being’s activity towards nature.

description: Due to their broad applicability, gauge theories (GTs) play a crucial role in various areas of physics, from high-energy physics to condensed matter. Their formulations on lattices, lattice gauge theories (LGTs), can be studied, among many other methods, with tools coming from statistical mechanics lattice models, such as mean field methods, which are often used to provide approximate results. Applying these methods to LGTs requires particular attention due to the intrinsic local nature of gauge symmetry, how it is reflected in the variables used to formulate the theory, and the breaking of gauge invariance when approximations are introduced. This issue has been addressed over the decades in the literature, yielding different conclusions depending on the formulation of the theory under consideration. In this article, we focus on the mean field theoretical approach to the analysis of GTs and LGTs, connecting both older and more recent results that, to the best of our knowledge, have not been compared in a pedagogical manner. After a brief overview of mean field theory in statistical mechanics and many-body systems, we examine its application to pure LGTs with a generic compact gauge group. Finally, we review the existing literature on the subject, discussing the results obtained so far and their dependence on the formulation of the theory.

description: Owing to the continued use of C (and C++), spatial safety violations (e.g., buffer overflows) still constitute one of today's most dangerous and prevalent security vulnerabilities. To combat these violations, Checked C extends C with bounds-enforced checked pointer types. Checked C is essentially a gradually typed spatially safe C - checked pointers are backwards-binary compatible with legacy pointers, and the language allows them to be added piecemeal, rather than necessarily all at once, so that safety retrofitting can be incremental. This paper presents a semi-automated process for porting a legacy C program to Checked C. The process centers on 3C, a static analysis-based annotation tool. 3C employs two novel static analysis algorithms - typ3c and boun3c - to annotate legacy pointers as checked pointers, and to infer array bounds annotations for pointers that need them. 3C performs a root cause analysis to direct a human developer to code that should be refactored; once done, 3C can be re-run to infer further annotations (and updated root causes). Experiments on 11 programs totaling 319KLoC show 3C to be effective at inferring checked pointer types, and experience with previously and newly ported code finds 3C works well when combined with human-driven refactoring.
