description: We investigate numerically Alfvén waves propagating along an axisymmetric and non-isothermal solar flux tube embedded in the solar atmosphere. The tube magnetic field is current-free and diverges with height, and the waves are excited by a periodic driver along the tube magnetic field lines. The main results are that the two wave variables, the velocity and magnetic field perturbations in the azimuthal direction, behave differently as a result of gradients of physical parameters along the tube. To explain these differences in the wave behavior, the time evolution of the wave variables and the resulting cutoff period for each wave variable are calculated, and used to determine regions in the solar chromosphere where strong wave reflection may occur.

description: In this article, we study the possibility of sustaining a static and spherically symmetric traversable wormhole geometries admitting conformal motion in Einstein gravity, which presents a more systematic approach to search a relation between matter and geometry. In wormhole physics, the presence of exotic matter is a fundamental ingredient and we show that this exotic source can be dark energy type which support the existence of wormhole spacetimes. In this work we model a wormhole supported by dark energy which admits conformal motion. We also discuss the possibility of detection of wormholes in the outer regions of galactic halos by means of gravitational lensing. The studies of the total gravitational energy for the exotic matter inside a static wormhole configuration are also done.

description: Image registration is a fundamental issue in multispectral image processing. In filter wheel based multispectral imaging systems, the non-coplanar placement of the filters always causes the misalignment of multiple channel images. The selective characteristic of spectral response in multispectral imaging raises two challenges to image registration. First, the intensity levels of a local region may be different in individual channel images. Second, the local intensity may vary rapidly in some channel images while keeps stationary in others. Conventional multimodal measures, such as mutual information, correlation coefficient, and correlation ratio, can register images with different regional intensity levels, but will fail in the circumstance of severe local intensity variation. In this paper, a new measure, namely normalized total gradient (NTG), is proposed for multispectral image registration. The NTG is applied on the difference between two channel images. This measure is based on the key assumption (observation) that the gradient of difference image between two aligned channel images is sparser than that between two misaligned ones. A registration framework, which incorporates image pyramid and global/local optimization, is further introduced for rigid transform. Experimental results validate that the proposed method is effective for multispectral image registration and performs better than conventional methods.

description: Water and hydroxyl, once thought to be found only in the primitive airless bodies that formed beyond roughly 2.5-3 AU, have recently been detected on the Moon and Vesta, which both have surfaces dominated by evolved, non-primitive compositions. In both these cases, the water/OH is thought to be exogenic, either brought in via impacts with comets or hydrated asteroids or created via solar wind interactions with silicates in the regolith or both. Such exogenic processes should also be occurring on other airless body surfaces. To test this hypothesis, we used the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) to measure reflectance spectra (2.0 to 4.1 μm) of two large near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) with compositions generally interpreted as anhydrous: 433 Eros and 1036 Ganymed. OH is detected on both of these bodies in the form of absorption features near 3 μm. The spectra contain a component of thermal emission at longer wavelengths, from which we estimate thermal of 167+/- 98 J m-2s-1/2K-1 for Eros (consistent with previous estimates) and 214+/- 80 J m-2s-1/2K-1 for Ganymed, the first reported measurement of thermal inertia for this object. These observations demonstrate that processes responsible for water/OH creation on large airless bodies also act on much smaller bodies.

Gold without dross: an assessment of the debt to John Chrysostom in John Calvin's oratory
Creators: name: Moore, Peter Charles
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: "Overview. The author argues that an assessment of the influence of John Chrysostom on the oratory of John Calvin is needed. After acknowledging methodological difficulties, he carries out a comparative study of aspects of their orations. He also reads Calvin's personal annotations to Calvin's own volumes of Chrysostom's 'complete works'. From this study the author concludes that there is credible evidence that Calvin's method in preaching was influenced by Chrysostom. Detail. In the introduction it is observed that recent scholarship on Calvin's formation as a preacher has commonly misinterpreted the 1981 publication by Ganoczy and Müller of the marginalia to Calvin's personal volumes of Chrysostom. It is argued that in consequence of this misreading, Calvin's debt to Chrysostom has not been properly assessed, and the importance and difficulties of doing so are reviewed. With methodological problems acknowledged, the author makes a comparative study of various aspects of the two preachers' orations, to see if credible evidence of influence can be discerned. In the first major part to the project, the author offers a comparison of the two preachers' debt to classical rhetoric (chapter 2), the structure and genre of their orations (chapter 3) and the key theological principles (chapter 4) that would have shaped these two 'pastor theologians' in their considered preaching method. The author offers a number of conclusions about each of these, and also suggests that Calvin would likely have seen Chrysostom as an appealing preaching mentor. In the second major part, the author studies the two preachers' engagement of emotion for persuasion: their attitude to emotion (chapter 5), their ambitions for emotion (chapter 6) and the closer emotional detail (chapter 7) of their orations. The author concludes that there are profound resonances between their approaches, and in the more superficial aspects of their orations, striking similarities. He suggests that there is credible evidence of influence upon Calvin's preaching. The study concludes with a new interpretation of the marginalia and the suggestion that it is credible that Calvin's method in preaching was influenced by Chrysostom and that Calvin continued to engage with Chrysostom's homilies over a lengthy period.

description: We study the effects of high magnetic fields on the structure and on the geometry of the crust in neutron stars. We find that the crust geometry is substantially modified by the magnetic field inside the star. We build stationary and axis-symmetric magnetized stellar models by using well-known equations of state to describe the neutron star crust, namely the Skyrme model (Sky) for the inner crust and the Baym, Pethick, and Sutherland (BPS) equation of state for the outer crust. We show that the magnetic field has a dual role, contributing to the crust deformation via the electromagnetic interaction (manifested in this case as the Lorentz force) and by contributing to curvature due to the energy stored in it. We also study a direct consequence of the crust deformation due to the magnetic field: the thermal relaxation time. This quantity, which is of great importance to the thermal evolution of neutron stars is sensitive to the crust properties and, as such, we show that it may be strongly affected by the magnetic field.

description: The rare earth nitride (REN) series area has attracted considerable research interest because of the coexistence of semiconducting and ferromagnetic properties. A major goal of this research has been to improve understanding of these materials. Thus, an in-depth study on the growth of holmium nitride (HoN) thin films is presented. The other major goal of this research has been to understand the magnetic structure of REN thin films. HoN thin films were grown via ion-assisted deposition (IAD). A systematic study was performed investigating the effect substrate temperature, nitrogen partial pressure, nitrogen ionisation state, deposition rate and sample thickness have on the sample quality.

description: To maximize offloading gain of cache-enabled device-to-device (D2D) communications, content placement and delivery should be jointly designed. In this letter, we jointly optimize caching and scheduling policies to maximize successful offloading probability, defined as the probability that a user can obtain desired file in local cache or via D2D link with data rate larger than a given threshold. We obtain the optimal scheduling factor for a random scheduling policy that can control interference in a distributed manner, and a low complexity solution to compute caching distribution. We show that the offloading gain can be remarkably improved by the joint optimization.

description: The District Court of NSW was chosen as an example of successful use of case management in reducing backlogs and disposal time in civil cases; therefore the court system of Bangladesh has been compared with that of New South Wales (Australia) concerning the courts' structure, procedures to appoint judges, jurisdiction of the specific court, the separation of the judiciary from the executive, and other institutions relating to the court system. The study aims to show how case management can reduce case backlogs from the civil trial courts of Bangladesh by finding the practical causes through empirical research following grounded theory. Semi-structured, open-ended interviews with lawyers, litigants,judges, and court staff were conducted in seven districts of Bangladesh between September 2013and January 2014. This empirical research found that time limits imposed by law were not maintained in the courts. Moreover, excessive workload upon judges and lawyers, low rates of disposal through mediation, uncertain intention of lawyers and clients, insufficient logistic and technical support, frequent involvement of the higher courts in interlocutory matters, and also complex procedural law and its applications placed immense pressure on the courts creating huge backlogs. Adopting a suitable case management system in Bangladesh, based on that used in NSW, could reduce the backlogs. Recommendations based upon the empirical research are advanced.

The protective mechanisms of protein disulphide isomerase in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Creators: name: Perri, Emma Renee
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder characterised by the degeneration of motor neurons. Numerous genes are linked to ALS both genetically and pathologically. Approximately 10% of ALS cases are familial, and of these cases, approximately 20% are due to mutations in the gene encoding superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), and approximately 10% are due to mutations in TAR DNA binding protein 43 (TDP-43) and fused in sarcoma (FUS). A major hallmark observed in ALS is the accumulation of misfolded proteins, containing either SOD1, TDP-43 and FUS, which form aggregates in the cytoplasm of degenerating motor neurons. However, the pathogenic mechanisms of disease in ALS remain poorly understood. Recent evidence suggests that dysfunction to the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER), resulting in ER stress, is increasingly implicated in ALS pathogenesis. Protein Disulphide Isomerase (PDI) is an ER chaperone which functions as an oxidoreductase, utilising its disulphide interchange activity to oxidise, reduce and isomerase disulphide bonds. Our laboratory has previously demonstrated that PDI overexpression is protective against mutant SOD1, TDP-43 and FUS in neuronal cell cultures. Hence, here we examined that PDI overexpression is also protective against ALS mechanisms of pathogenesis triggered by mutant forms of novel ALS protein, Cyclin F. Previous studies have also identified that PDI's disulphide interchange activity is fundamental for its protective activity. Therefore, here we further investigated the properties of PDI which are important in mediating this activity. Results obtained suggest that PDI's a domain is essential for PDI's protective function, as well as its oxidase activity (capability to form disulphide bonds). These properties were verified in cell culture models expressing mutant FUS. Ultimately, there is a need for more effective therapeutics in ALS, thus, peptides mimicking PDI's a domain and oxidase activity were developed and analysed here for their protective effect in ALS cell models.

description: The temperature of interstellar dust particles is of great importance to astronomers. It plays a crucial role in the thermodynamics of interstellar clouds, because of the gas-dust collisional coupling. It is also a key parameter in astrochemical studies that governs the rate at which molecules form on dust. In 3D (magneto)hydrodynamic simulations often a simple expression for the dust temperature is adopted, because of computational constraints, while astrochemical modelers tend to keep the dust temperature constant over a large range of parameter space. Our aim is to provide an easy-to-use parametric expression for the dust temperature as a function of visual extinction ($A_{\rm V}$) and to shed light on the critical dependencies of the dust temperature on the grain composition. We obtain an expression for the dust temperature by semi-analytically solving the dust thermal balance for different types of grains and compare to a collection of recent observational measurements. We also explore the effect of ices on the dust temperature. Our results show that a mixed carbonaceous-silicate type dust with a high carbon volume fraction matches the observations best. We find that ice formation allows the dust to be warmer by up to 15% at high optical depths ($A_{\rm V}> 20$ mag) in the interstellar medium. Our parametric expression for the dust temperature is presented as $T_{\rm d} = \left[ 11 + 5.7\times \tanh\bigl( 0.61 - \log_{10}(A_{\rm V})\bigr) \right] \, χ_{\rm uv}^{1/5.9}$, where $χ_{\rm uv}$ is in units of the Draine (1978) UV field

description: Το μεγαλύτερο «έγκλημα» στον χώρο της μόδας, κατά τον 21ο αιώνα, θεωρείται πως είναι οι απομιμήσεις των πολυτελών προϊόντων της μόδας. Τα παραποιημένα επώνυμα προϊόντα, συνήθως, αγοράζονται από καταναλωτές οι οποίοι δεν έχουν την δυνατότητα για την αγορά ενός επώνυμου προϊόντος μεγάλης αξίας, αλλά θέλουν να εκφράσουν με εμφανή τρόπο την κοινωνική τους τάξη αλλά και το ότι ανήκουν σε μία κοινωνία «Ά κατηγορίας» και έτσι να γίνουν αρεστοί και αποδεκτοί από τους υπολοίπους.
Οι απομιμήσεις των ακριβών προϊόντων που κάνουν την εμφάνιση τους στην αγορά, δίνουν μια εύκολη πρόσβαση σε όλους τους καταναλωτές, κάτι φυσικά που έρχεται σε αντίθεση με την ιδεολογία της εκάστοτε επώνυμης επιχείρησης. Αυτή θέλει να απευθυνθεί σε στοχευόμενο κοινό για την χαμηλή διανομή του προϊόντος έτσι ώστε να διατηρήσει την υψηλή ζήτηση και τον «μη εξευτελισμό» του εκάστοτε luxury brand, το οποίο θα είναι εύκολα προσβάσιμο και θα οδηγήσει στη μείωση του ανταγωνισμού ανάμεσα στα επώνυμα brands.
Σκοπός της διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι το πώς οι απομιμήσεις πολυτελών προϊόντων επηρεάζουν τις καταναλωτικές στάσεις απέναντι στα προϊόντα πολυτελείας. Η έρευνα περιλαμβάνει ποσοτική προσέγγιση, χρησιμοποιώντας το εργαλείο του ερωτηματολογίου και τα αποτελέσματα βασίζονται στις απαντήσεις όλων όσων το συμπλήρωσαν.
Τα ευρήματα δείχνουν ότι η μόδα είναι σημαντική στην ελληνική κοινωνία κυρίως στη νέα γενιά, ακόμη και με διαφορετικό οικονομικό υπόβαθρο. Με βάση λοιπόν αυτές τις αναλύσεις, καταλήγουμε στο συμπέρασμα ότι το φαινόμενο των προϊόντων απομίμησης υπάρχει στην Ελλάδα επειδή το επώνυμο brand θεωρείται επιτακτική ανάγκη για την επίτευξη της επιθυμητής θέσης.

description: The analytic energy gradients with respect to nuclear motion are derived for natural orbital functional (NOF) theory. The resulting equations do not require to resort to linear-response theory, so the computation of NOF energy gradients is analogous to gradient calculations at the Hartree-Fock level of theory. The structures of 15 spin-compensated systems, composed by first- and second-row atoms, are optimized employing the conjugate gradient algorithm. As functionals, two orbital-pairing approaches were used, namely, the fifth and sixth Piris NOFs (PNOF5 and PNOF6). For the latter, the obtained equilibrium geometries are compared with coupled cluster singles and doubles (CCSD) calculations and accurate empirical data.

Stock structure and effective population size of the commercially exploited Gummy shark
Creators: name: Petrolo, Emma
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The Australian Gummy shark (Mustelus antarcticus) is the main target species of a large fishery that functions across its distribution in Southern and Eastern Australian waters. Commercial harvest of the species is currently considered sustainable based on target biomass estimates that show recovery from past overexploitation. However, previous research regarding stock structure have garnered conflicting results on the genetic structure of the species, necessitating further investigation to better inform fisheries management. Here, we evaluate the genetic structure and effective population size (Ne) of the Gummy shark using genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). We identified two distinct genetic clusters, one on the East coast, and one along the South coast. Moderate genetic differentiation was identified between each cluster, while within-cluster comparisons were largely admixed. Spatial analyses revealed some evidence for natal philopatry but no compelling evidence of isolation by distance. In addition, demographic modelling of each cluster showed a comparatively rapid decline of estimated Ne in the most recent past when compared to more historical projections, although current estimates are still considered high. These findings elucidate the current genetic structure of Gummy sharks and estimate the potential impact on Ne that overfishing can generate for the species.

description: $^{56}$Ni is an important indicator of the supernova explosions, which characterizes light curves. Nevertheless, rather than $^{56}$Ni, the explosion energy has often been paid attention from the explosion mechanism community, since it is easier to estimate from numerical data than the amount of $^{56}$Ni. The final explosion energy, however, is difficult to estimate by detailed numerical simulations because current simulations cannot reach typical timescale of saturation of explosion energy. Instead, the amount of $^{56}$Ni converges within a short timescale so that it would be a better probe of the explosion mechanism. We investigated the amount of $^{56}$Ni synthesized by explosive nucleosynthesis in supernova ejecta by means of numerical simulations and an analytic model. For numerical simulations, we employ Lagrangian hydrodynamics code in which neutrino heating and cooling terms are taken into account by light-bulb approximation. Initial conditions are taken from Woosley & Hegel (2007), which have 12, 15, 20, and 25 $M_\odot$ in zero age main sequence. We additionally develop an analytic model, which gives a reasonable estimate of the amount of $^{56}$Ni. We found that, in order to produce enough amount of $^{56}$Ni, $\mathcal{O}(1)$ Bethe s$^{-1}$ of growth rate of the explosion energy is needed, which is much larger than that found in recent exploding simulations, typically $\mathcal{O}(0.1)$ Bethe s$^{-1}$.

description: This practice-based thesis is composed of an exegesis and novel extract. The exegesis investigates how urban noir detective fiction and psychogeography have been used to explore, represent and engage with the city and whether these genres remain relevant today. Specifically, it explores the origins of both psychogeography and urban noir detective fiction in the London writings of William Blake, Thomas De Quincey and Charles Dickens. It considers how the themes, preoccupations and approaches of these writers were taken up by two strands of urban writing: the Los Angeles novels of Raymond Chandler, and Situationist psychogeography. Furthermore, it considers how these two strands of urban representation have continued to evolve and influence each other: Situationist psychogeography into the contemporary literary psychogeography of writers such as Iain Sinclair and Rebecca So lnit; and Los Angeles noir into a global phenomenon, including the Glasgow noir of William McIlvanney, the Marseille noir of Jean-Claude Izzo and the Shanghai noir of Qiu Xiaolong. This leads to a consideration of how urban noir detective fiction has been used to represent Sydney, and how strategies from psychogeography might further enhance these fictional representations. Ultimately, it argues for the continued value and relevance of noir detective fiction, in particular when enriched by psychogeographic approaches. The final creative component of this thesis is an extract of a noir detective novel set in Sydney, titled Way to blue. The novel uses the classic noir detective model informed by the research in the exegesis to explore Sydney through the story of the search for a runaway teenage girl.

description: Collisions between sintered icy dust aggregates are numerically simulated. If the temperature of an icy aggregate is sufficiently high, sintering promotes molecular transport and a neck between adjacent grains grows. This growth changes the mechanical responses of the neck. We included this effect to a simulation code, and conducted collisional simulations. For porous aggregates, the critical velocity for growth, below which the mass of an aggregate increases, decreased from 50\,m\,s$^{-1}$ for the non-sintered case to 20\,m\,s$^{-1}$. For compacted aggregates, the main collisional outcome is bouncing. These results come from the fact that the strength of the neck is increased by sintering. The numerical results suggest that the collisional growth of icy grain aggregates is strongly affected by sintering.

Long wavelength extension of diamond Raman lasers

description: Ideal wavelengths for laser applications often do not align with commonly available laser sources, particularly in the mid-infrared, where there are reduced laser options. Raman lasers are a means of simultaneously extending the spectral coverage and enhancing the brightness of existing laser technology. Historically, average powers in crystalline Raman lasers have been restricted by poor thermal handling of the deposited heat,which is intrinsic to the frequency shifting process. In addition, solid-state Raman lasers traditionally are only reported in the visible and near-infrared, with operation atlonger wavelengths limited by material absorption and reduced Raman gain coeﬃcients.Synthetic diamond is a nonlinear frequency conversion material that has the potential to challenge these limitations, with a high Raman gain coeﬃcient, excellent thermal properties and broad transmission. This thesis investigates the performance of pulsed diamond Raman lasers across the near and mid-infrared regions.Conversion of a 1.064 m Nd:YAG laser to ﬁrst (1.240 m) and second (1.485 m)Stokes wavelengths was studied, with the quantum conversion eﬃciencies achieved equivalent to, or exceeding, other Raman or optical-parametric-oscillator materials.Mueller matrix modelling was used to determine the optimal crystal orientation and pump polarisation. In particular, aligning the pump polarisation with a h111i crystal axis produced a 33% enhancement in the Raman gain coeﬃcient, compared topreviously utilised crystal orientations.Knowledge of the Raman gain coeﬃcient of diamond in the mid-infrared is vitalfor designing long wavelength Raman lasers, due to the reduced gap between laser and damage thresholds. Detailed investigations consider two measurement methods. Theﬁrst is a reﬁnement of the pump-probe technique that examines the eﬀect of correlating intensity structure and laser line width. The second is a novel approach based on fourwave-mixing, which removes the need to accurately characterise the spatial, temporal and spectral properties of the lasers involved.Extending the wavelength of diamond Raman lasers to the mid-infrared necessitates overcoming the challenges of a diminished Raman gain coeﬃcient, increased crystal absorption and weaker optical coatings. Demonstrations of tuneable ﬁrst Stokes outputfrom 3.4-3.8 m and second Stokes output at 7.3 m represent the longest wavelengths reported from a solid state Raman laser. Cavity losses restrict the obtainable conversion eﬃciencies, and several methods, including four-wave-mixing and microstructured facets, are considered as means to improve performance.

description: Optical homodyne detection has found use in a range of quantum technologies as both a characterisation tool and as a way to post-selectively generate non-linearities. So far optical implementations have been limited to bulk optics. Here we present the first homodyne detector fully integrated with silicon photonics and suitable for measurements of the quantum state of the electromagnetic field. This high speed, compact detector shows low noise operation, with 10 dB of clearance between shot noise and electronic noise, up to a speed of 160 MHz. These performances are suitable for on-chip characterisation of optical quantum states, such as Fock or squeezed states. As a first application, we show the generation of quantum random numbers at 1.2 Gbps generation rate. The produced random numbers pass all the statistical tests provided by the NIST statistical test suite.

Reconstruction of a Time-dependent Potential from Wave Measurements

description: We add a time-dependent potential to the inhomogeneous wave equation and consider the task of reconstructing this potential from measurements of the wave field. This dynamic inverse problem becomes more involved compared to static parameters, as, e.g. the dimensions of the parameter space do considerably increase. We give a specifically tailored existence and uniqueness result for the wave equation and compute the Fréchet derivative of the solution operator, for which also show the tangential cone condition. These results motivate the numerical reconstruction of the potential via successive linearization and regularized Newton-like methods. We present several numerical examples showing feasibility, reconstruction quality, and time efficiency of the resulting algorithm.
The female hero’s journey in narrative media

description: Joseph Campbell’s ‘hero’s journey’ narrative model (1949) features prominently in blockbuster films which valorize the male warrior archetype. This thesis undertakes a comparative textual analysis of Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) and Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015), in concert with ‘hero’ and ‘heroine’ narrative journey templates, to determine whether there is evidence of a female equivalent of Campbell’s mythological ‘hero’s journey’ in contemporary narrative media. Previous studies have sought to reinterpret Campbell’s prototype by exploring archetypal patterns of the female hero’s journey through Jungian psychology, fairy tale and modern fantasy analyses. These have been criticized for their overtly feminist positions, neglect of mythology’s significance, or irrelevance to screen texts. This thesis represents an original approach to media text analysis, moving beyond cultural studies, feminist criticism, discourse analysis and literary theory to critically address mythic ‘hero’s journey’ narrative structures, in dialogue with recently proposed female models, more pertinent to narrative media. My research seeks evidence of mythic structure in a socially constructive, culturally resonant, contemporary ‘female hero’s journey’ narrative model. It contributes to the field of textual analysis of narrative media by creating a pathway to the formulation of a new, inclusive narrative model, directly applicable to screen text production.

description: High Energy Physics (HEP) distributed computing infrastructures require automatic tools to monitor, analyze and react to potential security incidents. These tools should collect and inspect data such as resource consumption, logs and sequence of system calls for detecting anomalies that indicate the presence of a malicious agent. They should also be able to perform automated reactions to attacks without administrator intervention. We describe a novel framework that accomplishes these requirements, with a proof of concept implementation for the ALICE experiment at CERN. We show how we achieve a fully virtualized environment that improves the security by isolating services and Jobs without a significant performance impact. We also describe a collected dataset for Machine Learning based Intrusion Prevention and Detection Systems on Grid computing. This dataset is composed of resource consumption measurements (such as CPU, RAM and network traffic), logfiles from operating system services, and system call data collected from production Jobs running in an ALICE Grid test site and a big set of malware. This malware was collected from security research sites. Based on this dataset, we will proceed to develop Machine Learning algorithms able to detect malicious Jobs.

description: Recent experiments on quantum criticality in the Ge-substituted heavy-electron material YbRh2Si2 under magnetic field have revealed a possible non-Fermi liquid (NFL) strange metal (SM) state over a finite range of fields at low temperatures, which still remains a puzzle. In the SM region, the zero-field antiferromagnetism is suppressed. Above a critical field, it gives way to a heavy Fermi liquid with Kondo correlation. The T (temperature)-linear resistivity and the T-logarithmic followed by a power-law singularity in the specific heat coefficient at low T, salient NFL behaviours in the SM region, are un-explained. We offer a mechanism to address these open issues theoretically based on the competition between a quasi-2d fluctuating short-ranged resonant- valence-bonds (RVB) spin-liquid and the Kondo correlation near criticality. Via a field-theoretical renormalization group analysis on an effective field theory beyond a large-N approach to an anti- ferromagnetic Kondo-Heisenberg model, we identify the critical point, and explain remarkably well both the crossovers and the SM behaviour.

The importance of protein glycosylation: a glycoscope into the reproductive process

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The aim of this thesis is to enhance our understanding of the role of glycosylation in the reproductive process in both male and female tracts from both a glycomics and glycoproteomics perspective. Within the scope of this thesis, protein macro-glycosylation (at the cellular/tissue level) was investigated by analysis of aberrant glycosylation in STZ- and high glucosamine -induced diabetic ovarian tissues of mice. The two diabetic models shared a relative decrease in protein N-linked oligomannose, and a decrease in sialylated, structures compared to non-diabetic mice. We are the first to report changes occurring in the glycan biosynthesis pathway in diabetes of any reproductive organ. The same level of analysis (macro-glycosylation) was investigated as a means of differentiating active sperm from inactive sperm. Active sperm were generated via two isolation protocols, namely Percoll density gradient centrifugation and "swim-up" collection and compared with inactive sperm. The most significant result was seen in the large individual biological variation within each donor's sperm populations. On the other hand, the micro-glycosylation (at the single glycoprotein level) focused on two functionally relevant reproductive proteins, namely: endometrial MUC1 and seminal Cluster of Differentiation 52 (CD52). MUC1 on the surface of mouse oviduct and uterine tissues exhibited no significant difference in O-glycan structures at the time of window of implantation (WOI) or in diabetes, although the carbohydrate/protein abundance increased on MUC1 on the uterine lining in the WOI. CD52 has a proposed immune-suppressive function in semen, but only lymphocyte CD52 has been fully characterized from the point of view of activity. Lymphocyte CD52 initiates immunosuppression by binding to the sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin-10 (Siglec-10) receptor on activated T cells. As a prelude to understanding the role of CD52 glycosylation in reproduction we comprehensively defined the glycan structures on lymphocyte CD52. Sialylation was essential for the immunosuppression and enabled the identification of the most immune suppressive CD52 glycoforms. Overall, this thesis provides support for the inherent contribution of protein glycosylation, on a macro and micro level, in the process of reproduction in both male and female.
