description: While large language models (LLMs) have been successfully applied to various tasks, they still face challenges with hallucinations. Augmenting LLMs with domain-specific tools such as database utilities can facilitate easier and more precise access to specialized knowledge. In this paper, we present GeneGPT, a novel method for teaching LLMs to use the Web APIs of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) for answering genomics questions. Specifically, we prompt Codex to solve the GeneTuring tests with NCBI Web APIs by in-context learning and an augmented decoding algorithm that can detect and execute API calls. Experimental results show that GeneGPT achieves state-of-the-art performance on eight tasks in the GeneTuring benchmark with an average score of 0.83, largely surpassing retrieval-augmented LLMs such as the new Bing (0.44), biomedical LLMs such as BioMedLM (0.08) and BioGPT (0.04), as well as GPT-3 (0.16) and ChatGPT (0.12). Our further analyses suggest that: (1) API demonstrations have good cross-task generalizability and are more useful than documentations for in-context learning; (2) GeneGPT can generalize to longer chains of API calls and answer multi-hop questions in GeneHop, a novel dataset introduced in this work; (3) Different types of errors are enriched in different tasks, providing valuable insights for future improvements.

Disenfranchised Grief

description: Across most cultures, the death of a child has been referenced as one of the most traumatic losses imaginable. It challenges our core beliefs about the natural order of the human lifespan and leaves a tremendous impact on the grieving community (Geiss et. al, 1998). Critical examinations of experiences surrounding child death can reveal deeply held attitudes and common beliefs regarding grief responses. This qualitative study explored specific experiences of grief and bereavement from the perspectives of child welfare professionals who are involved in child fatality cases. Nine interviews explored the perspectives of Maryland’s child welfare workers. A rigorous thematic analysis identified and organized patterns in the data across interviews. Emergent themes included persistent sorrow, navigating judgment and blame, coping with emotions and preventing death. Implications are discussed for grief-informed practice in child fatality settings.

description: Nanostructured permanent magnets are gaining increasing interest and importance for applications such as generators and motors. Thermal management is a key concern since performance of permanent magnets decreases with temperature. We investigated the magnetic and thermal transport properties of rare-earth free nanostructured SrFe12O19 magnets produced by the current activated pressure assisted densification. The synthesized magnets have aligned grains such that their magnetic easy axis is perpendicular to their largest surface area to maximize their magnetic performance. The SrFe12O19 magnets have fine grain sizes in the cross-plane direction and substantially larger grain sizes in the in-plane direction. It was found that this microstructure results in approximately a factor of two higher thermal conductivity in the in-plane direction, providing an opportunity for effective cooling. The phonons are the dominant heat carriers in this type of permanent magnets near room temperature. Temperature and direction dependent thermal conductivity measurements indicate that both Umklapp and grain boundary scattering are important in the in-plane direction, where the characteristic grain size is relatively large, while grain boundary scattering dominates the cross-plane thermal transport. The investigated nano/microstructural design strategy should translate well to other material systems and thus have important implications for thermal management of nanostructured permanent magnets.

description: We study a moving adsorbate interacting with a metal electrode immersed in a solvent using the time-dependent Newns-Anderson-Schmickler model Hamiltonian. We have adopted a semiclassical trajectory treatment of the adsorbate to discuss the electron and energy transfers that occur between the adsorbate and the electrode. Using the Keldysh Green's function scheme, we found a non-adiabatically suppressed electron transfer caused by the motion of the adsorbate and coupling with bath phonons that model the solvent. The energy is thus dissipated into electron-hole pair excitations, which are hindered by interacting with the solvent modes and facilitated by the applied electrode potential. The average energy transfer rate was discussed in terms of the electron friction coefficient and given an analytical expression in the slow-motion limit.
Character displacement as a mechanism for coexistence in moa (Aves: Dinornithiformes)
Creators: name: Anning, Nicholas
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The moa (Aves: Dinornithiformes) are an extinct group of ratite birds endemic to New Zealand. They were the dominant herbivores prior to human arrival. Analysis of coprolite data showed that moa diet varied little between species in the same area, despite each one being inhabited by three or more moa species. Many hypotheses have been proposed to explain how moa utilised niche partitioning. I aimed to test for evidence of character displacement in body size, which would influence feeding height among other ecologically significant factors. Moa were morphologically diverse in body size, which may have been partly related to displacement. Measurements of femur length and width at midshaft and distal end were taken and used as a proxy for body size. The log-transformed results were then analysed using the V statistic. Results showed that sizes were randomly distributed and not indicative of character displacement. Moa therefore did not evolve character displacement in body size. Niche partitioning may have been accomplished through the evolution of other traits, such as bite dimensions or habitat preferences.
Shallow Bound States and Hints for Broad Resonances with Quark Content $\bar{b}\bar{c}ud$ in $B$-$\bar{D}$ and $B^*$-$\bar{D}$ Scattering from Lattice QCD

description: We present the first determination of the energy dependence of the $B$-$\bar{D}$ and $B^*$-$\bar{D}$ isospin-0, $S$-wave scattering amplitudes both below and above the thresholds using lattice QCD, which allows us to investigate rigorously whether mixed bottom-charm $\bar{b}\bar{c}ud$ tetraquarks exist as bound states or resonances. The scattering phase shifts are obtained using Lüscher's method from the energy spectra in two different volumes. To ensure that no relevant energy level is missed, we use large, symmetric $7 \times 7$ and $8 \times 8$ correlation matrices that include, at both source and sink, $B^{(*)}$-$\bar{D}$ scattering operators with the lowest three or four possible back-to-back momenta in addition to local $\bar{b}\bar{c}ud$ operators. We fit the energy dependence of the extracted scattering phase shifts using effective-range expansions. We observe sharp peaks in the $B^{(*)}$-$\bar{D}$ scattering rates close to the thresholds, which are associated with shallow bound states, either genuine or virtual, a few MeV or less below the $B^{(*)}$-$\bar{D}$ thresholds. In addition, we find hints for resonances with masses of order $100$ MeV above the thresholds and decay widths of order $200$ MeV.

Resonant cavity antenna arrays: performance investigation and characterization

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis investigates the feasibility of developing wideband resonant cavity antennas (RCAs) to achieve ETSI Class-2 antenna requirements for operation in 21.2-23.6 GHz frequency band. Commercially available Class-2 reflector antennas have strict requirements to conform to the suitable radiation pattern envelope (RPE) specifications, as set by the regulatory bodies. Despite excellent performance of commercial Class-2 compliant antennas, a major geometrical constraint prevails due to their non-planar, complex, multi-piece and bulky structures. RCAs on the other hand, are well known for their simple and planar configurations. With rapid advancements in modern wireless technologies, RCAs have found numerous applications from indoor personal communications to wireless sensor networks, and from point-to-point communications to satellite reception. This thesis investigates the possibility of developing wideband and high-gain resonant cavity antenna arrays (RCAAs), to combine the advantages of low-cost, planar configuration with high efficiency and compactness.
Deployment and Post-Deployment Predictors of Dyadic Adjustment in Military Couples in Long-Term Relationships

description: Military service members (MSMs) who undergo deployments face many stressors, and this is compounded for those in relationships, for whom deployments can cause strain as the couple navigates life apart. It is important to understand deployment-related factors that increase risk for romantic relationship problems post-deployment. There are indications that stress about life back home, PTSD, and within-unit social support all play a role in romantic relationship outcomes; however, research synthesizing these risk and protective factors has not yet been conducted with MSMs in long-term relationships using longitudinal data. The present study utilized self-report questionnaire data from 84 MSMs in long-term relationships to examine longitudinal predictors and mechanisms of long-term dyadic adjustment. The goal of the study was to investigate a moderated mediation model in which greater homefront stressors were expected to predict lower dyadic adjustment indirectly via higher PTSD avoidance and numbing symptoms, and these associations were expected to be buffered by higher unit support. No significant moderation was found. The trimmed mediation model showed a negative main effect of homefront stress on dyadic adjustment. Contrary to hypotheses, higher avoidance symptoms (but not numbing symptoms) mediated the relationship between greater homefront stress and higher dyadic adjustment. Findings point to the importance of homefront stress as an indicator of later dyadic challenges and suggest that avoidance symptoms may uniquely contribute to MSM-reported dyadic adjustment. Overall, stress experienced during deployment is associated with negative long-term outcomes for MSMs, suggesting the importance of interventions aimed at promoting healthy coping during deployment.

description: In Magnetic Particle Imaging, a field-free region is maneuvered throughout the field of view using a time-varying magnetic field known as the drive-field. Human-sized systems operate the drive-field in the kHz range and generate it by utilizing strong currents that can rise to the kA range within a coil called the drive field generator. Matching and tuning between a power amplifier, a band-pass filter and the drive-field generator is required. Here, for reasons of safety in future human scanners, a symmetrical topology and a transformer, called inductive coupling network is used. Our primary objectives are to achieve floating potentials to ensure patient safety, attaining high linearity and high gain for the resonant transformer. We present a novel systematic approach to the design of a loss-optimized resonant toroid with a D-shaped cross section, employing segmentation to adjust the inductance-to-resistance ratio while maintaining a constant quality factor. Simultaneously, we derive a specific matching condition of a symmetric transmit-receive circuit for magnetic particle imaging. The chosen setup filters the fundamental frequency and allows simultaneous signal transmission and reception. In addition, the decoupling of multiple drive field channels is discussed and the primary side of the transformer is evaluated for maximum coupling and minimum stray field. Two prototypes were constructed, measured, decoupled, and compared to the derived theory and to method-of-moment based simulations.

description: The advent of the Big Data hype and the consistent recollection of event logs and real-time data from sensors, monitoring software and machine configuration has generated a huge amount of time-varying data in about every sector of the industry. Rule-based processing of such data has ceased to be relevant in many scenarios where anomaly detection and pattern mining have to be entirely accomplished by the machine. Since the early 2000s, the de-facto standard for representing time series has been the Symbolic Aggregate approXimation (SAX).In this document, we present a few algorithms using this representation for anomaly detection and motif discovery, also known as pattern mining, in such data. We propose a benchmark of anomaly detection algorithms using data from Cloud monitoring software.
Towards an understanding of celebrity worship among Indian consumers: an ethnoconsumerist approach
Creators: name: Sahgal, Anna
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Celebrity worship is a significant phenomenon in India. The stars of the Bollywood film industry are highly prominent celebrities. Their deification is not unusual in India, to the extent that some stars have temples dedicated to them. Although the need and importance of studies of consumption in non-Western societies has been recognised, little research has been undertaken in the marketing literature to better understand worship of Bollywood celebrities. This research interprets religious influences in the consumption and worship of Bollywood stars. Specifically, it examines the religious concept of darshan (a mode of seeing) and how it manifests itself invarious forms to influence Indian consumer behaviour. An ethnoconsumerist interpretive approach was adopted to address this research. Participants of different age groups, sex and religiosity were recruited in the North Indian region of Delhi for the study using in-depth interviews. The thesis consists of three research papers. The first research paper follows the guidelines of the ethnoconsumerist approach by presenting a text view. This is obtained from a collection of secondary sources and provides cultural insights. It also traces the historical development of Bollywood films and summarises religious and theatrical influences. The second research paper examines the impact of darshan on movie consuming experiences in India. Some important thematic findings reveal that Bollywood stars are viewed as mythical beings and act as role models for Indian consumers. The third research paper examines consumer devotional behaviour towards Bollywood stars in the context of masala films. Findings suggest three distinct levels with varying degrees of devotional consumer behaviour: bounded consumers, devoted followers and worshippers. Based on the findings, an interpretive framework of consumer devotion is proposed. This research contributes to the marketing literature in three ways: firstly, it integrates literature from both anthropology and marketing to suggest a new way of looking at Indian consumption. Second, it introduces the cultural concept of darshan to better understand Indian consumer behaviour in relation to Bollywood celebrity worship. Third, it suggests a new interpretive framework of consumer devotion which can stimulate future research.

description: My work proposes using theme as a scope for video game analysis to generate a more wholistic understanding of how the parts of a game interact to generate meaning. When applied to video games as a purely narrative property, themes become relatively static. If we use theme as a scope for analyzing and understanding other elements of the text, however, then we come away with a more complex and dynamic understanding. Using Nintendo’s Legend of Zelda franchise as a case study, I propose that the gameplay expands upon themes put forward in the franchise’s narratives, with my primary focus being on the hero. In Zelda games’ narratives, the hero is discussed in static, traditional terms. But, if we use this theme as a scope for understanding the gameplay, the player has opportunities to both reinforce and play against this understanding, producing a more nuanced and dynamic understanding of the hero.

description: We present the results of a Chandra X-ray survey of the 8 most massive galaxy clusters at z>1.2 in the South Pole Telescope 2500 deg^2 survey. We combine this sample with previously-published Chandra observations of 49 massive X-ray-selected clusters at 00.2R500 scaling like E(z)^2. In the centers of clusters (r<0.1R500), we find significant deviations from self similarity (n_e ~ E(z)^{0.1+/-0.5}), consistent with no redshift dependence. When we isolate clusters with over-dense cores (i.e., cool cores), we find that the average over-density profile has not evolved with redshift -- that is, cool cores have not changed in size, density, or total mass over the past ~9-10 Gyr. We show that the evolving "cuspiness" of clusters in the X-ray, reported by several previous studies, can be understood in the context of a cool core with fixed properties embedded in a self similarly-evolving cluster. We find no measurable evolution in the X-ray morphology of massive clusters, seemingly in tension with the rapidly-rising (with redshift) rate of major mergers predicted by cosmological simulations. We show that these two results can be brought into agreement if we assume that the relaxation time after a merger is proportional to the crossing time, since the latter is proportional to H(z)^(-1).

description: Changes in watershed land use, loss of coastal habitat to human development, and changing rainfall patterns have been attributed to waterfowl population declines in estuarine wintering grounds. We created a dynamic occupancy model for American black ducks (Anas rubripes) in the Chesapeake Bay to investigate relationships between occupancy, estuarine stressors, and wintering habitat from 1993-2019. Our model showed that wetlands and water clarity had a positive association with site colonization, whereas nitrate and nearby urban development had a negative association. Wetlands also had a strongly positive association with site persistence. Black ducks disproportionately occupied sites on the eastern shore and rarely colonized sites outside this zone. This propensity increased over time, with the population centroid/center of mass experiencing a small, but significant, shift eastward. These results highlight a “core area” of black duck habitat in the Chesapeake Bay that is vulnerable to large disturbances and should be prioritized for black duck population conservation.

description: The Latin American Giant Observatory (LAGO) is an extended cosmic ray observatory composed of a network of water-Cherenkov detectors (WCD) spanning over different sites located at significantly different altitudes (from sea level up to more than $5000$\,m a.s.l.) and latitudes across Latin America, covering a wide range of geomagnetic rigidity cut-offs and atmospheric absorption/reaction levels. The LAGO WCD is simple and robust, and incorporates several integrated devices to allow time synchronization, autonomous operation, on board data analysis, as well as remote control and automated data transfer. This detection network is designed to make detailed measurements of the temporal evolution of the radiation flux coming from outer space at ground level. LAGO is mainly oriented to perform basic research in three areas: high energy phenomena, space weather and atmospheric radiation at ground level. It is an observatory designed, built and operated by the LAGO Collaboration, a non-centralized collaborative union of more than 30 institutions from ten countries. In this paper we describe the scientific and academic goals of the LAGO project - illustrating its present status with some recent results - and outline its future perspectives.

However, due to historic trends of racism and inequality, not all communities experience pollution in the same way. Low socioeconomic and communities of color have often borne the brunt of this ecological injustice due to the disenfranchisement and lack of investment in these communities. This burden impacts both the human communities near sources of contamination but also the wildlife species exposed. However, due to their exposure and adjacency to human communities, certain wildlife species can be used as biomonitors providing information about the health of communities and ecosystems. Bats are one such species due to their high trophic level, closeness to human populations, diet and bioaccumulation of contaminants. By sampling their guano from roosting sites, data on the distribution of contaminants and their concentrations can be determined.

description: Through this thesis, I explore waste, climate change and environmental justice as a set of environmental challenges on university campuses. They are issues that exist independently of one another but can also work to exacerbate each other. The average member of a university campus community may or may not understand how these issues work in combination to influence people and the environment both on and off-campus. This study explores how different campus members perceive the interconnections between climate change, waste, and environmental justice. Do they understand the implications of a university campus’s impact on the environment and on people? Through structured surveys and focus group interviews, I find that campus members personalities tend to most closely relate to the following: (1) those who make the connections between climate change, environmental justice and waste and are acutely aware of their environmental impacts, (2) those who generally understand that there are impacts to the environment and to people from waste, but do not think about how campuses impact the environment and people, and (3) those who do not make connections between the three and do not perceive of impacts university campuses might have off campus. I find that even if campus members do make the connections between the three issues, they do not apply these same principles or associate the same impacts with a university campus.

description: Recommender systems have been developed to address the “information overload”issue by providing users with potentially useful products or services. While mostof the current systems are continuing to deal with globally collected large numberof users and items, little attention is paid to the situations where users ask forrecommendations through a limited number of personal social circles. Social networks, on the other hand, are one of the most popular channels throughwhich people share and exchange information. Many studies in recent years haveshown that incorporating social relations and interactions into recommender systems will significantly improve recommendation qualities. To make superior recommendationsfrom peers, we are especially interested in developing a recommendationmodel that emulates the natural recommendation style in real life. In this thesis, we propose a peer-based social recommendation model that imitates the natural recommendation process in social networks. The model forms neighborhoods from peers across social circles, through which the peers participatein the recommendation process by propagating requests and responses in arelay fashion. Furthermore, we develop a machine learning method to measure tiestrengths among the peers in a social network, based on various social relationships.Generally speaking, the stronger the tie strength between two individuals,the more similar interests they may commonly share. Furthermore, the learnedtie strengths are then incorporated in recommendation process to increase theaccuracy and relevance of the recommendations. We have conducted comprehensive experiments by using the real datasets frompopular social media services. The evaluation results demonstrate that our proposed recommendation model outperforms other popular and state-of-the-art recommendationmethods in terms of widely accepted evaluation metrics.

description: Topology changes in multi-phase fluid flows are difficult to model within a traditional sharp interface theory. Diffuse interface models turn out to be an attractive alternative to model two-phase flows. Based on a Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes model introduced by Abels, Garcke and Grün (Math. Models Methods Appl. Sci. 2012), which uses a volume averaged velocity, we derive a diffuse interface model in a Hele-Shaw geometry, which in the case of non-matched densities, simplifies an earlier model of Lee, Lowengrub and Goodman (Phys. Fluids 2002). We recover the classical Hele-Shaw model as a sharp interface limit of the diffuse interface model. Furthermore, we show the existence of weak solutions and present several numerical computations including situations with rising bubbles and fingering instabilities.

Economic and Racial Disparities in Air Quality Monitors in Baltimore City, Maryland, and Other Major Metropolitan Cities in the United States
Creators: name: Gibson, Selenea Deianira
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2023

description: The EPA has air quality monitoring networks that report ambient air fine particulate matter (PM2.5) within cities in the United States (EPA 2023a). The citizen science project PurpleAir has community scientists place PurpleAir PM2.5 monitors in areas of their choosing (Dybwad 2022). Yet, areas that have air quality monitors are still suffering from PM2.5 pollution. These areas contain predominantly low-income and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) (Tessum et al. 2021; Tabuchi and Popovich 2021). To fully understand how air quality monitors work, I must understand the geography/distribution of monitors and the relationship between people and monitors. I use quantitative methods through exploratory and statistical analysis to collect location data on EPA and PurpleAir monitors, tract-level population data, race/ethnicity data, and median household income data. The findings reveal evidence of uneven geographies of EPA and PurpleAir air quality monitors. There is no relationship between EPA air quality monitors and low-income and BIPOC communities. Further, there is a relationship between PurpleAir air quality monitors and low-income and BIPOC communities.

On the origin of the spiral morphology in the Elias 2-27 circumstellar disc

description: The young star Elias 2-27 has recently been observed to posses a massive circumstellar disc with two prominent large-scale spiral arms. In this Letter we perform three-dimensional Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics simulations, radiative transfer modelling, synthetic ALMA imaging and an unsharped masking technique to explore three possibilities for the origin of the observed structures -- an undetected companion either internal or external to the spirals, and a self-gravitating disc. We find that a gravitationally unstable disc and a disc with an external companion can produce morphology that is consistent with the observations. In addition, for the latter, we find that the companion could be a relatively massive planetary mass companion (less than approximately 10 - 13 MJup) and located at large radial distances (between approximately 300 - 700 au). We therefore suggest that Elias 2-27 may be one of the first detections of a disc undergoing gravitational instabilities, or a disc that has recently undergone fragmentation to produce a massive companion.

description: This paper examines the intricate challenges surrounding land tenure faced by Indigenous and Afro-descendant communities in Ecuador, exploring the critical role of legal empowerment strategies in addressing historical injustices. Through a qualitative analysis of the socio-political landscape, the study evaluates existing legal frameworks and their effectiveness in safeguarding ancestral lands. Emphasizing the need for inclusive governance, the paper proposes community legal empowerment strategies that empower Indigenous and Afro-descendant populations to assert their rights. By drawing on case studies of ECOLEX organization in Ecuador and legal precedents, the research shows the potential impact of Community Paralegals as strategies on strengthening land tenure security and fostering sustainable development. Ultimately, the paper contributes to the ongoing discourse on social justice and Indigenous rights, advocating for a transformative approach to legal empowerment that not only recognizes the cultural significance of ancestral lands but also bolsters the autonomy and resilience of marginalized communities.
Nature and environmental significance of large scale heterolithic crossbeds, Singleton coal measures (Permian) Sydney Basin, New South Wales
Creators: name: Parbury, C. F. R.
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Large scale inclined strata consisting of shale, siltstone, and fine-to-medium sandstone occur directly over the main Liddell Coal Seam and below the Arties Coal Seam in the Foybrook-Liddell-Howick area within the Upper Permian Singleton Coal Measures, Sydney Basin, N.S.W. Results of the study of: the stratigraphic content within which the large scale inclined strata occur; the nature of the external regional form of the crossbed set; the lithology and the internal organization of the inclined strata is presented. A model incorporating the inclined bedding structure as the product of 'mobile differential compaction is seen to be totally inadequate in the light of field evidence and observation. Comparison with and recognition of the characteristic features of 'Gilbert-type delta' deposits indicate that the large scale inclined bedding structure has a primary depositional origin and is, in fact, a set of crossbeds developed by the introduction of sediment-laden waters into a non-marine deltaic environment.

description: An excited emitter decays by radiating a photon into a quantized mode of the electromagnetic field, a process known as spontaneous emission. If the emitter is driven to a higher excited state, it radiates multiple photons in a cascade decay. Atomic and biexciton cascades have been exploited as sources of polarization-entangled photon pairs. Because the photons are emitted sequentially, their intensities are strongly correlated in time, as measured in a double-beam coincidence experiment. Perhaps less intuitively, their phases can also be correlated, provided a single emitter is deterministically prepared into a superposition state, and the emitted radiation is detected in a phase-sensitive manner and with high efficiency. Here we have met these requirements by using a superconducting artificial atom, coherently driven to its second-excited state and decaying into a well-defined microwave mode. Our results highlight the coherent nature of cascade decay and demonstrate a novel protocol to generate entanglement between itinerant field modes.
