description: We report the weak lensing discovery, spectroscopic confirmation, and weak lensing tomography of a massive cluster of galaxies at $z=0.68$, demonstrating that shear selection of clusters works at redshifts high enough to be cosmologically interesting. The mass estimate from weak lensing, $11.1 +- 2.8 x 10^{14} (r/Mpc)$ solar masses within projected radius r, agrees with that derived from the spectroscopy ($σ_v = 980 km s^{-1}$), and with the position of an arc which is likely to be a strongly lensed background galaxy. The redshift estimate from weak lensing tomography is consistent with the spectroscopy, demonstrating the feasibility of baryon-unbiased mass surveys. This tomographic technique will be able to roughly identify the redshifts of any dark clusters which may appear in shear-selected samples, up to z ~ 1.

description: Molecular modelling plays an important and complementary role to experimental studies. In this thesis we use molecular dynamic simulations and time correlation functions to examine the isomerization of n-butane and to perform a proof-of-concept demonstration, applying the dissipation theorem to calculating transport properties. Equilibrium molecular dynamics are used to determine the solvent shift and rate constants in the isomerization process of n-butane. Furthermore the effects of confining n-butane to a nanopore are examined and compared to in two different wall-models. The structure and dynamics of a fluid can be affected when confined to pores of nanometre widths. An understanding of the effects of confinement on the equilibrium composition of reacting mixtures, diffusion and adsorption rates, can lead to improvements in industrial processes such as in the food and pharmaceutical industry. A known effect of confinement is wetting of the walls due to interactions between the wall and the fluid. Examination of the local molecular fluid density across the pore has shown that the degree of wetting is a function of pore width, mean fluid density and wall surface density.

description: A series of thiosemicarbazides were synthesized and structurally characterized by spectroscopic techniques (NMR, FT-IR) besides elemental analysis. These compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against human breast cancer cell line MCF7 and prostate cancer cell line PC3 and nonmalignant fibroblast L929 cell line by MTT assay. Among the compounds, N-[2-(4-chlorophenyl)ethyl]-2-[(4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl]hydrazinecarbothioamide (3d) and 2-[(4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl]-N-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]hydrazinecarbothioamide (3f) were found to display significant cytotoxicity with IC50 of 13.87 μM (against PC3 cell line) and 1.47 μM (against MCF7 cell line), respectively. These compounds were non-cytotoxic to normal cell line with IC50>100 μM. Western blotting studies demonstrated that compound 3f induced apoptosis and caused cell death in the MCF7 and PC3 cell lines via an increase in Bax protein expression and a slight decrease in Bcl-2 protein expression. The gene expression ratio Bax/Bcl-2 showed the induction of mitochondrial apoptosis in cancer cell lines. All of synthesized compounds have also been tested for antioxidant activity and all compounds achieved strong inhibition of the DPPH radical. These findings showed that compound 3f, displays potential to be further explored in the development of new anticancer agents.

description: Reward engineering is crucial to high performance in reinforcement learning systems. Prior research into reward design has largely focused on Markovian functions representing the reward. While there has been research into expressing non-Markov rewards as linear temporal logic (LTL) formulas, this has focused on task specifications directly defined by the user. However, in many real-world applications, task specifications are ambiguous, and can only be expressed as a belief over LTL formulas. In this paper, we introduce planning with uncertain specifications (PUnS), a novel formulation that addresses the challenge posed by non-Markovian specifications expressed as beliefs over LTL formulas. We present four criteria that capture the semantics of satisfying a belief over specifications for different applications, and analyze the qualitative implications of these criteria within a synthetic domain. We demonstrate the existence of an equivalent Markov decision process (MDP) for any instance of PUnS. Finally, we demonstrate our approach on the real-world task of setting a dinner table automatically with a robot that inferred task specifications from human demonstrations.

description: PALAEOBIOGEOGRAPHY OF MANTISPIDAE   Extant Mantispidae show a characteristic distribution pattern (Fig. 1). The advanced Mantispinae are distributed nearly worldwide, with fossil records from the Palaeogene of Europe and the Neogene of Central America and the Caribbean (Chiapas and Dominican amber). The three other extant subfamilies are more restricted in distribution. Symphrasinae occur in the Neotropical and southernmost Nearctic regions (Penny, 1982a, b; Ohl, 2004). The Eocene S. eocenicus from Germany shows that Symphrasinae formerly had a wider distribution. A rather similar situation is found in Drepanicinae. Today they occur only in the Neotropical and Australian regions (Ohl, 2004). The single fossil drepanicine species, G. asiatica from Kazakhstan, is considered to belong to an extant genus that is currently widely distributed in the Neotropical region. Calomantispinae at present occur only in Central America to the southern Nearctic region and Australia. No fossil record of this group is known.

description: We present an analysis of CH band strengths in Keck LRIS spectra of a sample of 81 stars in M13 within 2 magnitudes of the main-sequence turnoff. The subgiants clearly exhibit a substantial (a factor of ~ 6) spread in [C/Fe]. Moreover, the bulk of the subgiants possess C abundances larger than those found among their more luminous counterparts. The turnoff stars themselves are too warm for appreciable CH formation, but the relatively small range in the observed CH band strength for stars just below the turnoff nevertheless translates into this same spread in [C/Fe]. Still fainter, the sample size is small, but the same range in [C/Fe] appears to be present. On the basis of these observations we suggest that a process external to the present stars has resulted in a substantial star-to-star dispersion in [C/Fe] (and possibly other light elements) among all stars in M13. In addition, the surface C abundances among the more luminous stars have been further modified by the operation of an internal deep-mixing mechanism during red giant branch ascent. The amplitude of the scatter we find in [C/Fe] at all luminosities may prove difficult to explain via accretion from intermediate mass AGB stars as the external "polluting" mechanism.

Rudd'’s motion was one of his earliest acts as Prime Minister and earned widespread support. His predecessor John Howard had vigorously opposed a government apology on the grounds that current generations were not responsible for the policies of the past, and so carried no burden of guilt that warranted an apology...

description: The benefits of the ubiquitous caching in ICN are profound, such features make ICN promising for content distribution, but it also introduces a challenge to content protection against the unauthorized access. The protection of a content against unauthorized access requires consumer authentication and involves the conventional end-to-end encryption. However, in information-centric networking (ICN), such end-to-end encryption makes the content caching ineffective since encrypted contents stored in a cache are useless for any consumers except those who know the encryption key. For effective caching of encrypted contents in ICN, we propose a secure distribution of protected content (SDPC) scheme, which ensures that only authenticated consumers can access the content. SDPC is lightweight and allows consumers to verify the originality of the published content by using a symmetric key encryption. Moreover, SDPC naming scheme provides protection against privacy leakage. The security of SDPC was proved with the BAN logic and Scyther tool verification, and simulation results show that SDPC can reduce the content download delay.

The role of multipolar magnetic fields in pulsar magnetospheres

Year: 2002

description: We explore the role of complex multipolar magnetic fields in determining physical processes near the surface of rotation powered pulsars. We model the actual magnetic field as the sum of global dipolar and star-centered multipolar fields. In configurations involving axially symmetric and uniform multipolar fields, 'neutral points' and 'neutral lines' exist close to the stellar surface. Also, the curvature radii of magnetic field lines near the stellar surface can never be smaller than the stellar radius, even for very high order multipoles. Consequently, such configurations are unable to provide an efficient pair creation process above pulsar polar caps, necessary for plasma mechanisms of generation of pulsar radiation. In configurations involving axially symmetric and non-uniform multipoles, the periphery of the pulsar polar cap becomes fragmented into symmetrically distributed narrow sub-regions where curvature radii of complex magnetic field lines are less than the radius of the star. The pair production process is only possible just above these 'favourable' sub-regions. As a result, the pair plasma flow is confined within narrow filaments regularly distributed around the margin of the open magnetic flux tube. Such a magnetic topology allows us to model the system of twenty isolated sub-beams observed in PSR B0943+10 by Deshpande & Rankin (1999, 2001). We suggest a physical mechanism for the generation of pulsar radio emission in the ensemble of finite sub-beams, based on specific instabilities. We propose an explanation for the subpulse drift phenomenon observed in some long-period pulsars.

description: In Australia, higher music education faces challenging times— university reform has ushered in an era of public accountability and budget cuts; the sector has become portfolio career-focussed and a university education must prepare students for uncertain futures. Within higher music education, collaborative learning has been identified as one way to address these types of challenges. There has recently been increased interest in the use of collaborative learning in a variety of higher music education contexts. To date, however, collaborative learning for music practice or performance in higher music education remains little used and under-researched. Situated within a practitioner inquiry framework, this study employed narrative approaches to discover participants’ experiences of collaborative learning in first year music practice courses at the University of Southern Queensland, a regional Australian university. The participants in this study were students who completed the first year music practice courses in 2014 and the teacher/researcher. Preliminary research during 2012 and a pilot study in 2013 shaped the focus and design of the study. Data were collected from students’ essays, journals and short answer questionnaires. Teacher’s data took the form of a teacher/researcher diary. Thematic analysis of students’ essays and journals established the ways in which collaborative learning built students’ individual and collective agency. Narrative analysis of the entire data set was undertaken to develop a robust picture of the value created through learning music practice collaboratively.

description: FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of 2,2′-bipyridine-3,3′-dicarboxylic acid (B3DA), 2,2′-bipyridine-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid (B4DA) and 2,2′-bipyridine-5,5′-dicarboxylic acid (B5DA) were recorded and analysed. The quantum chemical calculations of the title compounds begin with barrier potentials at different rotation angles around the C–C′ and C–Cα bonds in order to arrive conformation of lowest energy using DFT employing B3LYP functional with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. This confirmation was further optimised to get the global minimum geometry. The vibrational frequencies along with IR, Raman intensities were computed, the rms error between observed and calculated frequencies were 11.2 cm−1, 10.2 cm−1 and 12.2 cm−1 for B3DA, B4DA, and B5DA. An 87-element modified valence force field is derived by solving the inverse vibrational problem using Wilson’s GF matrix method. This force field is refined using 163 observed fundamentals employing in overlay least-squares technique. The average error between computed and experimental frequencies was found as 12.85 cm−1 using potential energy distribution (PED) and eigenvectors. By using the gauge-independent atomic orbital (GIAO) method calculate the 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts of the molecules and compared with experimental results. The first-order hyperpolarisability, HOMO and LUMO energies, molecular electrostatic potential (MESP) and natural orbital analysis (NBO) of titled compounds were evaluated using DFT.

description: New X-ray observations with XMM-Newton show a lack of spectral evidence for large amounts of cooling and condensing gas in the centers of galaxy clusters believed to harbour strong cooling flows. The paper reexplores the cooling flow scenario in the light of the new observations. We explore the diagnostics of the temperature structure of cooling cores with XMM-spectroscopy, tests for intracluster X-ray absorption towards central AGN, the effect of metal abundance inhomogeneities, and the implications of high resolution images in the centers of clusters. We find no evidence of intrinsic absorption in the center of the cooling flows of M87 and the Perseus cluster. We further consider the effect of cluster rotation in cooling flow regions in the frame of cosmic structure evolution models. Also the heating of the core regions of clusters by jets from a central AGN is reconsidered. We find that the power of the AGN jets as estimated by their interaction effects with the intracluster medium in several examples is more then sufficient to heat the cooling flows and to reduce the mass deposition rates. We explore in more detail which requirements such a heating model has to fulfill to be consistent with all observations, point out the way such a model could be constructed, and argue that such model building seems to be successful. In summary it is argued that most observational evidence points towards much lower mass deposition rates than previously inferred in the central region of clusters thought to contain strong cooling flows.

description: The Australian sports system is a top-down hierarchy overseen by the federal government. The Australian Sports Commission (ASC), a federal agency, is the government body responsible for overseeing the governance, management and funding of National Sporting Organisations (NSOs) which are responsible for achieving success at international sporting competitions, including the Olympic Games (Australian Sports Commission, 2009b). The NSOs rely heavily on this support to operate effectively. Because of this arrangement, the ASC and NSOs work closely together to achieve the best possible sporting outcomes. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the ASC and Olympic NSOs to determine the effect the relationship had on Olympic performance. Five Olympic NSOs were examined: Athletics Australia, Cycling Australia, Rowing Australia, Swimming Australia and Yachting Australia. All five NSOs represent sports in which Australia has consistently achieved good results at previous Olympic Games. Furthermore, each NSO receives significant funding from the ASC and as such, is expected to continue to achieve success at the Olympic Games. Following an independent review of the Australian sport system in 2009, the review panel described the Australian high performance sport system as “one of the greatest inefficiencies in delivering elite success on the world stage” (Crawford, 2009, p. 17). As a result, the attention of this thesis was directed towards the ASC–NSO relationship and the governance of these organisations.

description: We study the probability distribution, $P_N(T)$, of the coincidence time $T$, i.e. the total local time of all pairwise coincidences of $N$ independent Brownian walkers. We consider in details two geometries: Brownian motions all starting from $0$, and Brownian bridges. Using a Feynman-Kac representation for the moment generating function of this coincidence time, we map this problem onto some observables in three related models (i) the propagator of the Lieb Liniger model of quantum particles with pairwise delta function interactions (ii) the moments of the partition function of a directed polymer in a random medium (iii) the exponential moments of the solution of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation. Using these mappings, we obtain closed formulae for the probability distribution of the coincidence time, its tails and some of its moments. Its asymptotics at large and small coincidence time are also obtained for arbitrary fixed endpoints. The universal large $T$ tail, $P_N(T) \sim \exp(- 3 T^2/(N^3-N))$ is obtained, and is independent of the geometry. We investigate the large deviations in the limit of a large number of walkers through a Coulomb gas approach. Some of our analytical results are compared with numerical simulations.

description: Manufacturing companies in Indonesia have been facing strong market competition from both local and international sources. In order to keep abreast with the latest developments in the manufacturing industry worldwide, and to enhance their companies’ competitiveness, Indonesian manufacturers need to nderstand the role of some important factors (such as industry dynamism, market orientation and managerial use of management accounting system (MAS) information that are likely to help their companies’ capability to successfully deal with that competition. This study examined the relationships between industry dynamism, market orientation, managerial use of broad scope MAS information and organisational performance. Organisational performance in this study used a sustainability balanced scorecard perspective that includes financial performance, customer-related performance, internal business process-related performance, learning and growth-related performance, and corporate social performance. In addition, this study also examined the relationships between industry dynamism, market orientation, and managerial use of broad scope MAS information (hereafter the use of MAS information). This study used a mixed method approach that combines both a survey questionnaire and in-depth interviews.

description: Direct diameter observations of Cepheid variables are used to calibrate the Barnes-Evans Cepheid surface brightness relation. Fifty-nine separate Cepheid diameter measurements from four different optical interferometers are used to calculate surface brightnesses as a function of magnitude and color. The linear fit to Cepheid surface brightness versus color is in excellent agreement with functions in the literature found using interferometric observations of non-variable giant and supergiant stars (Fouque & Gieren 1997). Using these relations the distance is calculated to delta Cephei, for which an independent distance is known from trigonometric parallax. The distance from the relation in this paper differs from that derived by the previously published relation by 4% but is still marginally within the combined errors. Both distances are well within the errors of the distance derived from trigonometric parallax.

title: Melaleuca Alternifolia Concentrate (MAC): A Plant-Derived Anticancer Agent
Creators: name: Clark, Amanda

Subjects: subject: Melaleuca oils
subject: Anti-cancer agent
subject: Tea tree oil
subject: Immunomodulatory activity
subject: Essential oils

description: Natural products historically represent a source of clinically approved drugs that have contributed significantly to anticancer drug development. In particular, essential oils represent a group of advantageous anticancer candidates as not only can they be produced in large quantities in a cost-effect manner but they also exhibit minimal toxicity. Melaleuca alternifolia Concentrate (MAC) is an extract prepared from the native Australian plant M. alternifolia (also a common source of Tea Tree Oil). Melaleuca oils are commonly used products, primarily utilised and investigated for their antimicrobial activity. However, over the last 2 decades, a continued stream of evidence has been produced pertaining to the anticancer potential of Melaleuca oil and its constituents. Previous studies reported Melaleuca oils to exhibit anticancer activity in vitro against a range of cancer cell lines, including melanoma, liver, leukaemia, lung, breast, and prostate cancer. However, much still remains to be discovered and elucidated about the Melaleuca oils, TTO and MAC. This thesis investigated the hypothesis that MAC represented an effective anticancer agent with immunomodulatory activity.

description: Neutron-capture elements in low metallicity Galactic halo stars vary widely both in overall contents and detailed abundance patterns. This review discusses recent observational results on the n-capture elements, discussing the implications for early Galactic nucleosynthesis of: (a) the star-to-star ``bulk'' variations in the n-capture/Fe abundance ratios; (b) the distinct signature of rapid n-capture synthesis events in many (most?) of the lowest metallicity stars; (c) the existence of metal-poor stars heavily enriched in the products of slow n-capture synthesis reactions; and (d) the now-routine detection of radioactive thorium (and even uranium in one and possibly two cases) in the spectra of metal-poor stars.

description: Weak lensing by large-scale structure provides a direct measurement of matter fluctuations in the universe. We report a measurement of this `cosmic shear' based on 271 WFPC2 archival images from the Hubble Space Telescope Medium Deep Survey (MDS). Our measurement method and treatment of systematic effects were discussed in an earlier paper. We measure the shear variance on scales ranging from 0.7' to 1.4', with a detection significance greater than 3.8. This allows us to measure the normalization of the matter power spectrum to be sigma8 = (0.94 +/- 0.10 +/- 0.14) (0.3/Omega_m)^0.44 (0.21/Gamma)^0.15, in a LCDM universe. The first 1sigma error includes statistical errors only, while the latter also includes (gaussian) cosmic variance and the uncertainty in the galaxy redshift distribution. Our results are consistent with earlier cosmic shear measurements from the ground and from space. We compare our cosmic shear results and those from other groups to the normalization from cluster abundance and galaxy surveys. We find that the combination of four recent cosmic shear measurements are somewhat inconsistent with the recent normalization using these methods, and discuss possible explanations for the discrepancy.

description: We study ion dissociation in four aqueous 1-alkyl-3-methyl-imidazolium chloride ([amim][Cl]) (where a = alkyl) ionic liquids (ILs) focusing on the effects of microstructure formation. We calculate ion dissociation using precise density, viscosity, and ionic conductivity measurements taken in this work as well as values reported by Rogac et al. (M. Bešter-Rogač, M. V. Fedotova, S.E. Kruchinin, and M. Klähn, Mobility and association of ions in aqueous solutions: The case of imidazolium based ionic liquids, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 18, 28594–28605 (2016); R. Toma, A. Tot, J. Kuhar, and M. Be, Interactions in aqueous solutions of imidazolium chloride ionic liquids [C n mim][Cl] (n=0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8) from volumetric properties, viscosity B-coefficients and molecular dynamics simulations, 254, 267–271 (2018)) in conjunction with our estimation framework presented previously (O. Nordness, L.D. Simoni, M.A. Stadtherr, and J.F. Brennecke, Characterization of Aqueous 1-Ethyl-3-Methylimidazolium Ionic Liquids for Calculation of Ion Dissociation, J. Phys. Chem. B 123, 1348–1358 (2019); L.D. Simoni, Predictive Modeling of Fluid Phase Equilibria for Systems Containing Ionic Liquids (University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN, 2009)). We first consider ion dissociation at dilute IL concentrations below the critical aggregate concentrations (cac). We introduce a combined Stokes radii term calculated from limiting molar conductivity data, which more accurately estimates ion dissociation in dilute IL systems than radii estimated from a group contribution method. Incorporating the new radii term in the existing model, we study ion dissociation across a wide IL concentration range. Even if prior knowledge of aggregation were not available, as is the case for aqueous [amim][Cl] systems, aggregation is apparent from this analysis because the increased viscous forces of microstructure formation lead to unrealistic estimates of ion dissociation.

Subjects: subject: molecular genetics
subject: oncogenes
subject: circulating tumour cells
subject: immune checkpoint molecules

description: Globally Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the most prevalent and deadly cancers. The development of CRC cancer is caused by a step-by-step accumulation of mutations that either turn on oncogenes or turn off suppressor genes. Understanding the biology as well as the genomic landscape of CRC has led to major breakthroughs in developing novel therapeutic targets, improving the clinical management of patients with CRC. However, growing evidence for intratumour heterogeneity limits the use of single-site biopsies in revealing the comprehensive genomic landscape of a tumour. As an expanding array of targeted therapies emerges in clinical practice, the importance of screening tumours for genomic aberrations and understanding resistance mechanisms during disease progression becomes more crucial. Utilizing circulating tumour cells (CTCs) – which can be captured through a minimally invasive blood test – shows potential in offering valuable insights into intratumour heterogeneity and the evolution of tumours. This innovative approach allows for a more holistic understanding of the dynamic characteristics of tumours in real-time as an alternative to invasive procedures. Nonetheless, the actual clinical utility of CTCs in revealing genomic landscape is yet to be fully determined. […]

description: Single-photon lidar has emerged as a prime candidate technology for depth imaging through challenging environments. Until now, a major limitation has been the significant amount of time required for the analysis of the recorded data. Here we show a new computational framework for real-time three-dimensional (3D) scene reconstruction from single-photon data. By combining statistical models with highly scalable computational tools from the computer graphics community, we demonstrate 3D reconstruction of complex outdoor scenes with processing times of the order of 20 ms, where the lidar data was acquired in broad daylight from distances up to 320 metres. The proposed method can handle an unknown number of surfaces in each pixel, allowing for target detection and imaging through cluttered scenes. This enables robust, real-time target reconstruction of complex moving scenes, paving the way for single-photon lidar at video rates for practical 3D imaging applications.
