description: Disgust is remembered better than fear, despite both emotions being highly negative and arousing. But the mechanisms underlying this effect are not well-understood. Therefore, we compared two proposed mechanisms underlying superior memory for disgust. According to the memory consolidation mechanism, it is harder (but crucial) to remember potentially contaminating vs. threatening stimuli. Hence, disgust elicits additional memory consolidation processes to fear. According to the attention mechanism, it takes longer to establish if disgust (relative to fear) stimuli are dangerous. Hence, people pay more attention to disgust during encoding. Both mechanisms could boost memory for disgust. Ninety-eight participants encoded disgust, fear, and neutral images whilst completing a simple task to measure attention. After 10- or 45-min delay, participants freely recalled the images. We found enhanced memory for disgust relative to fear after 10- and 45-min delay, but this effect was larger after 45-min. Participants paid more attention to disgust than fear images during encoding. However, mixed effect models showed increased attention did not contribute to enhanced memory for disgust. Our results therefore support the memory consolidation mechanism.

description: This thesis attempts to identify barriers to improved (regulatory) outcomes in Australian farm animal welfare regulatory frameworks, particularly the Queensland saleyard framework. In the context of this work, I interpret ‘improved outcomes’ to include improved animal wellbeing, for the benefit of the animals themselves. Drawing on literature from the regulatory, animal law and animal protection sectors, and finally the fieldwork findings, the thesis looks at ways to address, help prevent and/ or remove the barriers. In summary, the thesis proposes small changes to the overarching Australian farm animal welfare framework design, legal structures, regulatory approaches, regulatory culture and regulation to improve outcomes for animals. More specifically, changes to the Queensland saleyard framework could include for instance, initiatives to boost enforcement of animal users’ duty of care obligations (under ACPA 2001 (Qld)) and welfare compliance, particularly that concerning the framework’s most vulnerable (e.g., injured) and lowest dollar value animals (e.g., unwanted bobby calves). Vulnerable and low dollar value animals in the saleyard system may also include: very young animals (e.g., born during transport to saleyard or at yard); culled production animals (e.g., animals past ‘prime’ production); captured unwanted animals (e.g., wild cattle or goats) and physically or psychologically compromised animals (e.g., injured, crippled, distressed, sick or weak animals).

description: In this work we launch a systematic theory of superconformal blocks for four-point functions of arbitrary supermultiplets. Our results apply to a large class of superconformal field theories including 4-dimensional models with any number $\mathcal{N}$ of supersymmetries. The central new ingredient is a universal construction of the relevant Casimir differential equations. In order to find these equations, we model superconformal blocks as functions on the supergroup and pick a distinguished set of coordinates. The latter are chosen so that the superconformal Casimir operator can be written as a perturbation of the Casimir operator for spinning bosonic blocks by a fermionic (nilpotent) term. Solutions to the associated eigenvalue problem can be obtained through a quantum mechanical perturbation theory that truncates at some finite order so that all results are exact. We illustrate the general theory at the example of $d=1$ dimensional theories with $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetry for which we recover known superblocks. The paper concludes with an outlook to 4-dimensional blocks with $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetry.

description: The cohesin complex participates in many structural and functional aspects of genome organization. Cohesin recruitment onto chromosomes requires nucleosome-free DNA and the Scc2-Scc4 cohesin loader complex that catalyzes topological cohesin loading. Additionally, the cohesin loader facilitates promoter nucleosome clearance in a yet unknown way, and it recognizes chromatin receptors such as the RSC chromatin remodeler. Here, we explore the cohesin loader-RSC interaction. Amongst multi-pronged contacts by Scc2 and Scc4, we find that Scc4 contacts a conserved patch on the RSC ATPase motor module. The cohesin loader directly stimulates in vitro nucleosome sliding by RSC, providing an explanation how it facilitates promoter nucleosome clearance. Furthermore, we observe cohesin loader interactions with a wide range of chromatin remodelers. Our results provide mechanistic insight into how the cohesin loader recognizes, as well as influences, the chromatin landscape, with implications for our understanding of human developmental disorders including Cornelia de Lange and Coffin-Siris syndromes.

description: We explore the applicability of a single-bead coarse-grained molecular model to describe the competition between protein folding and aggregation. We have designed very simple and regular sequences, based on our previous studies on peptide aggregation, that successfully fold into the three main protein structural families (all-α, all-β, and α + β). Thanks to equilibrium computer simulations, we evaluate how temperature and concentration promote aggregation. Aggregates have been obtained for all the amino acid sequences considered, showing that this process is common to all proteins, as previously stated. However, each structural family presents particular characteristics that can be related to its specific balance between hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interactions. The model is very simple and has limitations, yet it is able to reproduce both the cooperative folding of isolated polypeptide chains with regular sequences and the formation of different types of aggregates at high concentrations.

description: An extended analysis of some instrumental polarisation sources has been done, as a consequence of the renewed interest in extremely sensitive polarisation measurements stimulated by Cosmic Microwave Background experiments. The case of correlation polarimeters, being them more suitable than other configurations, has been studied in detail and the algorithm has been derived to calculate their intrinsic sensitivity limit due to device characteristics as well as to the operating environment. The atmosphere emission, even though totally unpolarised, has been recognized to be the most important source of sensitivity degradation for ground based experiments. This happens through receiver component losses (mainly in the OMT), which generate instrumental polarisation in genuinely uncorrelated signals. The relevant result is that, also in best conditions (cfr. Antarctica), integration times longer than ~40s are not allowed on ground without modulation techniques. Finally, basic rules to estimate the maximum modulation period for each instrumental configuration have been provided.

GRB Remnants

description: The realization that GRBs are narrowly beamed implied that the actual rate of GRBs is much larger than the observed one. There are 500 unobserved GRBs for each observed one. The lack of a clear trigger makes it hard to detect these unobserved GRBs as orphan afterglows. At late time, hundreds or thousands of years after a GRB, we expect to observe a GRB remnant (GRBR). These remnants could be distinguished from the more frequent SNRs using their different morphology. While SNRs are spherical, GRBRs that arise from a highly collimated flow, are expected to be initially nonspehrical. Using SPH simulations we follow the evolution of a GRBR and calculate the image of the remnant produced by bremsstrahlung and by synchrotron emission. We find that the GRBR becomes spherical after $ \sim 3000 {\rm yr}(E_{51}/n)^{1/3}$ at $R\sim 12{\rm pc} (E_{51}/n)^{1/3}$, where $E_{51}$ is the initial energy in units of $10^{51}{\rm erg}$ and $n$ is the surrounding ISM number density in ${\rm cm}^{-3}$. We expect $0.5 (E_{51}/n)^{1/3}$ non-spherical GRBs per galaxy. Namely, we expect $\sim ~ 20$ non spherical GRBRs with angular sizes $\sim 1 μ$arcsec within a distance of 10Mpc. These results are modified if there is an underlying spherical supernova. In this case the GRBR will remain spherical only for $\sim150 {\rm yr} (E_{51}/n)^{1/3}$ and the number of non-spherical GRBRs is smaller by a factor of 10 and their size is smaller by a factor of 3.

description: The present common view about GRB origin is related to cosmology. There are two evidences in favour of this interpretation. The first is connected with statistics, the second is based on measurements of the redshifts in the GRB optical afterglows. Red shifts in optical afterglows had been observed only in long GRB. Statistical errors, and possibility of galactic origin of short GRB is discussed; their connection with Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGR) is analyzed.

description: Maritime piracy is analysed using social constructionist theories. Societal reactions toward behaviour historically labelled piracy have been influenced by coastal state social constructions of ocean-space. Contemporary state-societal reactions resulted in internationalised piracy law and reporting processes by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the International Maritime Bureau (IMB), and media, which show which types of particular maritime theft fall under the rubric of ‘piracy’. The reporting of this social problem by institutions shows them acting as moral entrepreneurs. Certain nations’ securitised reactions to piracy and private military companies’ commodification of anti-piracy solutions are explored. The International Transport Workers’ Federation’s reaction to piracy forms part of its moral crusade against flags of convenience (FOCs). It criticises these flags, which reportedly lack political will and insufficient infrastructure to counter piracy. Terrorist groups have also reportedly utilised FOCs. While piracy is mostly a problem for capital, however, FOCs remain purportedly, a problem for labour. Some radical unionists have used the term piracy to describe exploitative labour practices, (the theft of maritime labour) on FOC vessels. Charismatic environmental organisations have also used the term ‘piracy’, expanding the definition to refer to illegal fishing and whaling and highlighting a range of their activities using anti-piracy rhetoric. The dissertation examines why the environmental expansion of the definition of piracy has won greater acceptance than the Labourite construction of piracy in relation to FOCs. It concludes that there is a new postmodern stage of the global piracy prohibition regime.

description: In a previous work we derived an effective Hamiltonian constraint for the Schwarzschild geometry starting from the full loop quantum gravity Hamiltonian constraint and computing its expectation value on coherent states sharply peaked around a spherically symmetric geometry. We now use this effective Hamiltonian to study the interior region of a Schwarzschild black hole, where a homogeneous foliation is available. Descending from the full theory, our effective Hamiltonian, though still bearing the well known ambiguities of the quantum Hamiltonian operator, preserves all relevant information about the fundamental discreteness of quantum space. This allows us to have a uniform treatment for all quantum gravity holonomy corrections to spatially homogeneous geometries, unlike the minisuperspace loop quantization models in which the effective Hamiltonian is postulated. We show how, for several geometrically and physically well motivated choices of coherent states, the classical black hole singularity is replaced by a homogeneous expanding Universe. The resultant geometries have no significant deviations from the classical Schwarzschild geometry in the pre-bounce sub-Planckian curvature regime, evidencing the fact that large quantum effects are avoided in these models. In all cases, we find no evidence of a white hole horizon formation. However, various aspects of the post-bounce effective geometry depend on the choice of quantum states.

description: We have developed biocompatible scaffolds that enable cell fate control with visible light. The scaffolds are based on synthetic collagen-like polypeptide, poly(prolyl-hydroxyprolyl-glycyl) {poly(Pro-Hyp-Gly)} which has been used for cosmetics and other healthcare applications. Bioactive peptides were conjugated to the scaffolds via photoactivation reaction utilizing 488 nm visible light. In addition, the use of a photocleavable crosslinker enables dissociation of chemical moieties by 405 nm laser irradiation. The synthesis scheme enables optical control to attach and detach functional peptides in pre-patterned shapes. Using bone forming peptide (BFP), we demonstrate that calcium deposition by rat bone stromal cells can be directed on the scaffold. Using other signaling molecules and three-dimensional scaffolds, controlled differentiation of stem cells can be achieved by spatio-temporally specific irradiation of confocal microscope laser.
Acoustic peaks and dips in the CMB power spectrum: observational data and cosmological constraints

description: The locations and amplitudes of three acoustic peaks and two dips in the last releases of the Boomerang, MAXIMA and DASI measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy power spectra as well as their statistical confidence levels are determined in a model-independent way. It is shown that the Boomerang-2001 data (Netterfield et al. 2001) fixes the location and amplitude of the first acoustic peak at more than 3σconfidence level. The next two peaks and dips are determined at a confidence level above 1σbut below 2σ. The locations and amplitudes of the first three peaks and two dips are 212+/-17, 5426+/-1218μK^2, 544+/-56, 2266+/-607μK^2, 843+/-35, 2077+/-876μK^2, 413+/-50, 1960+/-503μK^2, 746+/-89, 1605+/-650μK^2 respectively (1σerrors include statistical and systematic errors). The MAXIMA and DASI experiments give similar values for the extrema which they determine. The determined cosmological parameters from the CMB acoustic extrema data show good agreement with other determinations, especially with the baryon content as deduced from standard nucleosynthesis constraints. These data supplemented by the constraints from direct measurements of some cosmological parameters and data on large scale structure lead to a best-fit model which agrees with practically all the used experimental data within 1σ. The best-fit parameters are: Ω_Λ=0.64^{+0.14}_{-0.27}, Ω_{m}= 0.36^{+0.21}_{-0.11}, Ω_b=0.047^{+0.093}_{-0.024}, n_s=1.0^{+0.59}_{-0.17}, h=0.65^{+0.35}_{-0.27} and τ_c=0.15^{+0.95}_{-0.15} (plus/minus values show 1σupper/lower limits obtained by marginalization over all other model parameters). The best-fit values of Ω_ν and T/S are close to zero, their 1σupper limits are 0.17 and 1.7 respectively.

description: Benford's law is an empirical ``law'' governing the frequency of leading digits in numerical data sets. Surprisingly, for mathematical sequences the predictions derived from it can be uncannily accurate. For example, among the first billion powers of $2$, exactly $301029995$ begin with digit 1, while the Benford prediction for this count is $10^9\log_{10}2=301029995.66\dots$. Similar ``perfect hits'' can be observed in other instances, such as the digit $1$ and $2$ counts for the first billion powers of $3$. We prove results that explain many, but not all, of these surprising accuracies, and we relate the observed behavior to classical results in Diophantine approximation as well as recent deep conjectures in this area.

description: We present preliminary results of a wide field study of the globular cluster system of NGC4594, the Sombrero galaxy. The galaxy was observed in B, V, and R using the Wide Field Imager on the ESO 2.2m telescope. Using color and shape criteria to select a sample of highly probable globular cluster candidates, we measured the radial density profile of clusters out to 40' (100 Kpc) in the galaxy halo. The colors are consistent with the bimodal color distribution observed in previous studies. The red cluster candidates show a clear central concentration relative to the blue clusters. The population of red clusters does not appear significantly flattened, thus indicating that they are associated to the galaxy bulge rather than to the disk.

description: In filtering, each output is produced by a certain number of different inputs. We explore the statistics of this degeneracy in an explicitly treatable filtering problem in which filtering performs the maximal compression of relevant information contained in inputs (arrays of zeroes and ones). This problem serves as a reference model for the statistics of filtering and related sampling problems. The filter patterns in this problem conveniently allow a microscopic, combinatorial consideration. This allows us to find the statistics of outputs, namely the exact distribution of output degeneracies, for arbitrary input sizes. We observe that the resulting degeneracy distribution of outputs decays as $e^{-c\log^α\!d}$ with degeneracy $d$, where $c$ is a constant and exponent $α>1$, i.e. faster than a power law. Importantly, its form essentially depends on the size of the input data set, appearing to be closer to a power-law dependence for small data set sizes than for large ones. We demonstrate that for sufficiently small input data set sizes typical for empirical studies, this distribution could be easily perceived as a power law. We extend our results to filter patterns of various sizes and demonstrate that the shortest filter pattern provides the maximum informative representations of the inputs.

description: We investigate the evolution of substructure in cold dark matter halos using N-body simulations of tidal stripping of substructure halos (subhalos) within a static host potential. We find that halos modeled following the Navarro, Frenk & White (NFW) mass profile lose mass continuously due to tides from the massive host, leading to the total disruption of satellite halos with small tidal radii. The structure of stripped NFW halos depends mainly on the fraction of mass lost, and can be expressed in terms of a simple correction to the original NFW profile. We apply these results to substructure in the Milky Way, and conclude that the dark matter halos surrounding its dwarf spheroidal (dSph) satellites have circular velocity curves that peak well beyond the luminous radius at velocities significantly higher than expected from the stellar velocity dispersion. Our modeling suggests that the true tidal radii of dSphs lie well beyond the putative tidal cutoff observed in the surface brightness profile, suggesting that the latter are not really tidal in origin but rather features in the light profile of limited dynamical relevance. For Draco, in particular, our modeling implies that its tidal radius is much larger than derived by Irwin & Hatzidimitriou (1995), lending support to the interpretation of recent Sloan survey data by Odenkirchen et al. (2001). Similarly, our model suggests that Carina's halo has a peak circular velocity of ~55 km/s, which may help explain how this small galaxy has managed to retain enough gas to undergo several bursts of star formation. Our results imply a close correspondence between the most massive subhalos expected in a CDM universe and the known satellites of the Milky Way, and suggest that only subhalos with peak circular velocities below 35 km/s lack readily detectable luminous counterparts.

description: This thesis contains a detailed academic analysis of the complete rise and fall of Christopher Skase and his Qintex group mirage. It uses David Harvey's 'Condition of Postmodernity' to locate the collapse within the Australian political economic context of the period (1974-1989). It does so in order to answer questions about why and how the mirage developed, why and how it failed, and why Skase became the scapegoat for the Australian corporate excesses of the 1980s. I take a multi-disciplinary approach and consider corporate collapse, corporate regulation and the role of accounting, and corporate deviance.

title: Got a Gut Feeling: Truthiness, conspiracy and archives in contemporary culture

description: This exegesis reports on research undertaken for the fulfilment of my Master of Visual Arts candidature at Griffith University. My research project takes the form of a practice led installation-based studio methodology. Through the fabrication of objects in the context of a visual arts practice that parodies archival systems, it aims to effect change in our contemporary understanding of “objective” truth by exploring the impact of truthiness (emotionally motivated belief, confirmed by gut feeling instead of facts) and embracing conspiracy culture. I argue that truthiness is widespread online as a sociopolitical tool and phenomenon. I contend the rise of mass information overload and image circulation online has propagated truthiness into every aspect of an increasingly online visual culture. I examine the rise of conspiracy as a mainstream visual language and discuss why and how individuals come to accept alternative accounts of history and explanations of the present. I assess the role of archival preservation in contemporary information dissemination, examining the influence of online systems upon how we store and access socio-political materials. I contend that archives can no longer be considered objective sites that merely and apolitically store/catalogue information. Rather, archives are subjective sites of interpretation and construction, produced and managed by many from diverse backgrounds—including artists. I discuss the methodology of genealogical research, suggesting that a multifaceted approach to historiography generates a new “effective” history, informed by multiple perspectives that aim to change interpretations of history and historiography. I identify a contextual correlation between the work of three practitioners— namely, Trevor Paglen’s conspiratorially bent research, Walid Raad’s fabricated archive and Christian Boltanski’s archival parodies. This correlation points to a congruity of research into the impact of truthiness, archival subjectivity, and mainstream conspiracy culture in contemporary art. Finally, I discuss two research outcomes and conclude whether the aims of the research project have been achieved.

description: When the feature size of photonic structures becomes comparable or even smaller than the wavelength of light, the fabrication imperfections inevitably introduce disorder that may eliminate many functionalities of subwavelength photonic devices. Here we suggest a novel concept to achieve a robust bandgap which can endure disorder beyond 30 as a result of the transition from photonic crystals to Mie-resonant metamaterials. By utilizing Mie-resonant metamaterials with high refractive index, we demonstrate photonic waveguides and cavities with strong robustness to position disorder, thus providing a novel approach to the bandgap-based nanophotonic devices with new properties and functionalities.

description: The False Discovery Rate (FDR) is a new statistical procedure to control the number of mistakes made when performing multiple hypothesis tests, i.e. when comparing many data against a given model hypothesis. The key advantage of FDR is that it allows one to a priori control the average fraction of false rejections made (when comparing to the null hypothesis) over the total number of rejections performed. We compare FDR to the standard procedure of rejecting all tests that do not match the null hypothesis above some arbitrarily chosen confidence limit, e.g. 2 sigma, or at the 95% confidence level. When using FDR, we find a similar rate of correct detections, but with significantly fewer false detections. Moreover, the FDR procedure is quick and easy to compute and can be trivially adapted to work with correlated data. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the FDR procedure to the astrophysics community. We illustrate the power of FDR through several astronomical examples, including the detection of features against a smooth one-dimensional function, e.g. seeing the ``baryon wiggles'' in a power spectrum of matter fluctuations, and source pixel detection in imaging data. In this era of large datasets and high precision measurements, FDR provides the means to adaptively control a scientifically meaningful quantity -- the number of false discoveries made when conducting multiple hypothesis tests.

Pointwise lower scalar curvature bounds for $C^0$ metrics via regularizing Ricci flow
Creators: name: Burkhardt-Guim, Paula
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Differential Geometry (math.DG)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this paper we propose a class of local definitions of weak lower scalar curvature bounds that is well defined for $C^0$ metrics. We show the following: that our definitions are stable under greater-than-second-order perturbation of the metric, that there exists a reasonable notion of a Ricci flow starting from $C^0$ initial data which is smooth for positive times, and that the weak lower scalar curvature bounds are preserved under evolution by the Ricci flow from $C^0$ initial data.

X-ray Properties of LINERs and Low-luminosity Seyfert Galaxies Observed with ASCA. I. Observations and Results

description: This paper presents a comprehensive study of the X-ray properties of low-ionization nuclear emission-line regions (LINERs) and low-luminosity Seyfert galaxies based on observations obtained with ASCA. We analyzed data of 53 observations of 21 LINERs and 17 low-luminosity Seyferts. X-ray emission has been detected in all but one object. The X-ray luminosities in the 2-10 keV band range from 4e39 ergs/s to 5e41 ergs/s, which are 1-3 orders of magnitude smaller than in classical Seyfert galaxies. The X-ray spectra of most objects are well described by a canonical model which consists of (1) a soft component from a thermal plasma with kT<1 keV and (2) a hard component represented by a power law with a photon index~1.8 or thermal bremsstrahlung emission with kT~10 keV. Several objects do not require the soft thermal component, and their continua are well fitted by a single power-law model. Some objects show heavy absorption with column densities in excess of 1e23 cm^-2. We detect in several objects Fe K line emission with equivalent widths ranging from 50 eV to 2 keV. Variability on timescales less than a day is uncommon in our sample. By comparing multiple observations made with ASCA or with published observations from other satellites, we show that at least eight objects are variable on timescales of a week to several years. We find that the morphologies of many objects, both in the soft and hard bands, are consistent with being pointlike relative to the telescope PSF; a few are clearly extended in either or both energy bands.

title: A Pragmatic Study of Information Control in Criminal Trials in China: A Case Study of Fund-raising Fraud Trials
Creators: name: Hu, Bing
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Criminal trials
subject: China
subject: Fraud trials

description: Fund-raising fraud, as an emerging type of financial crime in China, had always been debated over its conviction and sentencing, due to the intricacy of its circumstances and elements of crime. After two amendments to China’s long criticised Criminal Procedure Law in 1996 and 2012, adversarial concepts and practices were introduced, giving greater attention to procedural justice, human rights protection, presumption of innocence, direct speech principle in order to achieve a more even balance in power status and right of speech between prosecution and defence. The presentation and interpretation of legal facts, which are critical to the adjudication of fund-raising frauds, are predominantly presented through discoursal interactions via manipulation of information by different litigants who become increasingly more competitive and conflictive with each other. The conflictive courtroom discourse is profoundly embedded in the asymmetrical power web interwoven between the litigants in court. The self-identities of each litigant and the impact of discoursal interactions on their member resources and institutional ideology can be reflected through analysis of their interactions. It is, therefore, of great interest and significance for the researcher to examine the information control and power status in the newly reformed criminal trial system of China from a pragmatic and discoursal perspective, through an analysis of real life fund-raising trial video recordings that have been opened to the public in the past three years. This research aims mainly to identify, describe and interpret the linguistic and pragmatic features registering information control and power relations between different litigants in courtroom discourse so as to interpret and reflect on the proceedings, procedural justice and power relations during the interactive adjudication process. The member resources (MR) of different litigants play a pivotal role in the use of discoursal strategies and conflictive interpretations of legal facts. Ideological coercions and social power asymmetry are also looked at as secondary issues which impact on the reform of criminal judicial trials, especially the adjudication of fund-raising fraud in China. Ideological reproduction or reformation process will also be touched upon based on the change of MR during conflictive interactions.

description: To assist with the commissioning (Jiang et al. 2019) of the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), we performed a pulsar search, with the primary goal of developing and testing the pulsar data acquisition and processing pipelines. We tested and used three pipelines, two (P1 and P2 hereafter) searched for the periodic signature of pulsars whereas the other one was used to search for bright single pulses (P3 hereafter). A pulsar candidate was discovered in the observation on the 22nd August, 2017, and later confirmed by the Parkes radio telescope on the 10th September, 2017. This pulsar, named PSR J1900-0134, was the first pulsar discovered by FAST. The pulsar has a pulse period of 1.8 s and a dispersion measure (DM) of 188\,pc\,cm$^{-3}$.
