description: This paper presents the method and performance of primary vertex reconstruction in proton-proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS experiment during Run 1 of the LHC. The studies presented focus on data taken during 2012 at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV. The performance has been measured as a function of the number of interactions per bunch crossing over a wide range, from one to seventy. The measurement of the position and size of the luminous region and its use as a constraint to improve the primary vertex resolution are discussed. A longitudinal vertex position resolution of about 30 micrometers is achieved for events with high multiplicity of reconstructed tracks. The transverse position resolution is better than 20 micrometers and is dominated by the precision on the size of the luminous region. An analytical model is proposed to describe the primary vertex reconstruction efficiency as a function of the number of interactions per bunch crossing and of the longitudinal size of the luminous region. Agreement between the data and the predictions of this model is better than 3% up to seventy interactions per bunch crossing.

description: RADAR is an excellence self-assessment tool which is commonly used to assess results and approaches in excellence models. It could also be used successfully in assessing the strategy formulation process in Dubai' s government. The Thesis is a qualitative research that deploys a case study approach to understand the role of RADAR techniques and practices, and how these can be used in assessing the Dubai Government's strategy formulation process, focusing on the justice and security sectors in general and the Dubai Police Force in particular. The researcher always attempts to answer particular questions about why and how RADAR informs and helps in assessing and controlling the strategy formulation process. The study obtained valid information from semi-structured interviews with 17 senior and middle government, security and Police staff members working in the Dubai Police Force, Civil Défense and Immigration Departments. Generally, the findings indicated that: Firstly, RADAR can be used successfully in these researched organisations and can be seen to be important in security assessment function when taking into consideration the cultural aspects of Dubai which are based on Arab and Islamic cultural values. Secondly, the strategy formulation process in Dubai Government is affected widely by Islamic and Arab culture. Thirdly, the definition of 'citizen' is very complex as Dubai is a cosmopolitan city. This makes it difficult to cater to the stakeholders' needs in the strategy formulation process due to the diversity of the cultures of the different nationalities. Fourthly, the bureaucratic nature of managers in the public sector makes it difficult to deploy the excellence self-assessment tools as they tend to believe that assessment is merely criticism rather than that it supports continuous improvement. Finally, the leadership of Dubai Government plays a crucial role in leading the strategic thinking and quality drive in both public and private sectors. The leadership vision is to cater to the cultural needs of the different nationalities living in Dubai and translate them into sound strategies.

description: Bats are natural sources of deadly viruses such as Ebola and Hendra virus, which can spillover into humans and livestock. It has been hypothesised that unique features of the bat immune system could allow bats to tolerate long-term viral infection. In this thesis, the first tools for characterising bat immunity were developed. These strategies were not only used to understand the bat immune response to Hendra virus but also provided fundamental insights into the bat immune system in general. These findings will aid the development of therapeutics and vaccines as well as prevent future viral epidemics.

description: Tight framelets on a smooth and compact Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{M}$ provide a tool of multiresolution analysis for data from geosciences, astrophysics, medical sciences, etc. This work investigates the construction, characterizations, and applications of tight framelets on such a manifold $\mathcal{M}$. Characterizations of the tightness of a sequence of framelet systems for $L_{2}(\mathcal{M})$ in both the continuous and semi-discrete settings are provided. Tight framelets associated with framelet filter banks on $\mathcal{M}$ can then be easily designed and fast framelet filter bank transforms on $\mathcal{M}$ are shown to be realizable with nearly linear computational complexity. Explicit construction of tight framelets on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{2}$ as well as numerical examples are given.

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the Department of Rehabilitation, Nutrition and Sport, School of Allied Health, Social Services and Sport, College of Science, Health and Engineering, La Trobe University, Victoria, Australia.

Lumbopelvic stability (LPS) is important for injury prevention and recovery from injury in active people. The thesis contains three studies on LPS. The first, a systematic review, which examined the effect of exercise for the lumbopelvic region on lower limb muscle strain injury in athletes, revealed that no studies included an exercise program focussed solely on improving LPS. No studies used clinically based LPS assessment tests or three-dimensional (3-D) motion capture measures of LPS and none investigated if improved LPS impacted balance or dynamic movements such as hopping and landing. The second study compared data from two 3-D motion capture systems: a traditional marker-based system that is time-consuming to use and a markerless system that is quicker to set up and process data. This study demonstrated that the markerless system was suitable to examine assessment tests of lumbopelvic stability, facilitating data collection in a large study. The third study, a randomised trial, compared the effects of two 12-week exercise programs in recreational athletes: a lumbopelvic stability program and an active control stretching program. Athletes assessed as possessing sub-optimal LPS were randomly allocated to one of the two exercise programs and those with optimal LPS continued usual training. The programs were delivered via online video instructions, did not need any equipment, were performed at home, had good adherence and took 45 minutes each week to complete. All athletes had LPS and measures of balance, hopping and landing assessed at baseline, 12 weeks and 12 months. The LPS program was no more effective than the XVII stretching program in improving clinical measures or kinematic measures of LPS, or in improving balance or hopping and landing at 12-week follow-up. This thesis increases our understanding of the effects of LPS exercise in recreational athletes. This may lead to the development of more effective programs to improve LPS.

This thesis was a recipient of the Nancy Millis Award for theses of exceptional merit.

description: Immune cells in our body called macrophages engulf excessive amounts of ‘bad’ cholesterol. This leads to blocked arteries, resulting in the leading cause of death in the world - heart disease. Raising the levels of ‘good’ cholesterol was a therapeutic goal in lowering the risk of heart disease. However, failed clinical trials have brought this idea into question. We discovered that macrophages lose their ability to off-load cholesterol due to a lack of energy, causing over-accumulating ‘bad’ cholesterol. For the first time, we have shown that restoring energy levels, reinstates their ability to off-load cholesterol and could decrease heart disease.

description: Background -Occupational Injury (work related injury) is among major public health problems that accounts 1.5% of public health burden in terms of DALLY and an economic loss of 5-10% GNP globally.Preventing or reducing work-related injury among flour factory workers are one of the key issues in improving workers health and safety in manufacturing industry. This issue is relevant particularly in developing countries including Ethiopia. Objective: The aim of this study is to assess magnitude and associated factors of occupational injury among production workers in large scale flour factories in Asella during the last 12 months. Method: : Institution based Cross-sectional study design was conducted from March,17- April 4 2015 among 412 study subjects were selected using simple random sampling method taking payroll as a sampling frame. Data collection was done by using interviewer administered questionnaire, observation and record review by the Principal Investigator. The collected data were manually checked for completeness and entered in to EP Info for data cleaning and finally exported to SPSS for further analyses. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analyses methods were employed to determine factors that may have significant association to the dependent variable. Variables that are identified as having p-value less than 0.25 on bivariate analyses were considered as a candidate to be evaluated on multivariable model, and then a variable with p-value less than 0.05 on final model were considered as having significant association. Result: The overall occupational injury prevalence rate was 24%. , exposure to excessive heat at work was found to have positive association with accidental injury at AOR = 2.570, P value< 0.05, 95% CI (1.12-5.91), Accordingly, those employees who were carrying heavy weight compared to their counterparts are at high risk of accidental injury at AOR 1.432, p value 0.05 , (95% CI) (1.001-2.048),workers who have got regular health and safety supervision are more likely not to encounter injury at. AOR = 3.052, p value 0.002 , 95% CI (1.507-6.181), utilization of personal protective devices in which those who are using the device are at lower risk of encountering accidental injury at and AOR 0.39, p-value 0.001 ,(95% CI) (0.23-0.66). One more covariate identified as significant was status of chewing chat. Employees who are chewing chat are six times at higher risk of acquiring accidental injury compared to those who are not chewing chat at p-value < 0.05. Conclusion - result show that work-related injury prevalence is high over the last one year. The factors significantly associated with incident of injury were utilization of personal protective device, handling of heavy object, excessive heat at work, Regular health and safety supervision &chewing chat

description: Using the highly sensitive anomalous Hall effect (AHE) we have been able to measure the reversal of a single magnetic island, of diameter 220nm, in an array consisting of more than 80 of those islands. By repeatedly traversing the hysteresis loop, we measured the thermally actuated fluctuation of the switching field of the islands at the lower and higher ends of the switching field distribution. Based on a novel easy-to-use model, we determined the switching field in the absence of thermal activation, and the energy barrier in the absence of an external field from these fluctuations. By measuring the reversal of individual dots in the array as a function of temperature, we extrapolated the switching field and energy barrier down to 0K. The extrapolated values are not identical to those obtained from the fluctation of the switching field at room temperature, because the properties of the magnetic material are temperature dependent. As a result, extrapolating from temperature dependent measurements overestimates the energy barrier by more than a factor of two. To determine fundamental parameters of the energy barrier between magnetisation states, measuring the fluctuation of the reversal field at the temperature of application is therefore to be preferred. This is of primary importance to applications in data storagea and magnetic logic. For instance in fast switching, where the switching field in the absence of thermal activation plays a major role, or in long term data stability, which is determined by the energy barrier in the absence of an external field.

description: The superconducting LHC magnets are coupled with an electronic monitoring system which records and analyses voltage time series reflecting their performance. A currently used system is based on a range of preprogrammed triggers which launches protection procedures when a misbehavior of the magnets is detected. All the procedures used in the protection equipment were designed and implemented according to known working scenarios of the system and are updated and monitored by human operators. This paper proposes a novel approach to monitoring and fault protection of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) superconducting magnets which employs state-of-the-art Deep Learning algorithms. Consequently, the authors of the paper decided to examine the performance of LSTM recurrent neural networks for modeling of voltage time series of the magnets. In order to address this challenging task different network architectures and hyper-parameters were used to achieve the best possible performance of the solution. The regression results were measured in terms of RMSE for different number of future steps and history length taken into account for the prediction. The best result of RMSE=0.00104 was obtained for a network of 128 LSTM cells within the internal layer and 16 steps history buffer.

Production, Characterization and Optimization an of Stevia Sweetener from Stevia Leaf
Creators: name: Dilnessa, Yohannes
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2014

description: This study has been carried out to extract the stevia sweetener, sugar substitute, from the leaf of stevia plant. Solvent extraction of the leaf using hot water was investigated. The main and interaction effects of temperature, extraction time and material ratio (stevia leaf: water) were examined. In the main effects investigation all the main factors had a significant effects on the yield of stevia sweetener. But in the interaction effects, only temperature with material ratio and extraction time with material ratio had a significant effect on the yield of the sweetener. The interaction effects of temperature with extraction time (residence time) had no any significant effects on the yield of stevia sweetener. The two factor interaction model was developed. In this model the term which had no significant effects had been reduced. This term was the interaction effect of temperature with residence time (τβ)ij. Different analysis of the data such as analysis of the variance, hypothesis testing and predicted R-squared also enforce this idea. The p-value was 0.1270 which was greater than type one error 0.05. The F-calculate for this term was 1.74 that was less than F-tabulate 1.90. The predicted R-squared was 60.10% that was far from the adjusted R-squared 87.49%. These different analysis leads to the reduction of the interaction effect of temperature with residence time from the model. The model adequacy also investigated by normal probability plot of residuals and plot of residual verses predicted value. Both normal probability plot as well as residual verses predicted value plots showed that the model was acceptable. Optimum conditions for the extraction process were optimized. The optimal treatments of each factor to maximize the yield were, for the temperature 50oC, three hours for the extraction time and 1:10 material ratio. The maximum yield that was obtained at these optimum conditions was 49.90 %. The two methods report form and ramp form of optimization showed the same result or the same conditions.

The importance of physical activity for cardiovascular health is well documented. Physical activity participation following stroke is essential for secondary stroke prevention. The body of work in this thesis sought to investigate physical activity following stroke. Two important themes were explored: physical activity measurement in stroke survivors, and longitudinal assessment of physical activity and how this relates to cardiovascular risk. These themes were addressed in the following studies: 1. A systematic review of the stroke literature investigating how physical activity is measured. 2. A second systematic review which synthesised the literature describing the physical activity levels of people following stroke in the acute, subacute and chronic phases of recovery. 3. A study examining the optimal duration of physical activity monitoring that is required to attain reliable estimates of physical activity in stroke survivors. 4. An observational study that describes physical activity levels of stroke survivors on completion of rehabilitation and explores factors associated with physical activity. x 5. A two-year longitudinal prospective observational study of physical activity and cardiovascular risk following stroke. This study describes physical activity levels and explores the relationship between physical activity and cardiovascular risk over time. These studies demonstrated that physical activity has been measured using a wide variety of methods in stroke survivors, with no single device displaying superior measurement properties. Physical activity is low following stroke. Physical activity is related to both physical and cognitive abilities, does not appear to change over time and is related to important cardiovascular risk factors. The findings of this thesis will help to inform future development of interventions to promote physical activity for the prevention of recurrent stroke and cardiovascular disease.

description: El propósito del presente trabajo es sintetizar y caracterizar membranas de intercambio protónico a partir de una resina del copolímero entre éster acrílico y vinil acetato para la evaluación de su desempeño. El proceso general de fabricación consiste en introducción de la carga inorgánica (dióxido de titanio) al copolímero, seguido de la preparación de las membranas en forma de láminas y posterior sulfonación de las mismas. Finalmente, se caracterizaron las propiedades físicas de las membranas preparadas y a partir de los resultados obtenidos se escogieron las membranas sulfonadas para evaluar su conductividad protónica, a través del estudio de espectroscopia de impedancia electroquímica en seco. Estas membranas presentaron un aumento en la capacidad de retención de agua de 55.21% y de 165.35% en la capacidad de intercambio iónico respecto a las membranas sin modificar, debido a la presencia de grupos sulfónicos en la cadena polimérica que facilitan los mecanismos de transporte de protones dentro de la membrana. Se obtuvo que su conductividad protónica es 5.4 x 10-9 S/cm, la cual es similar a los resultados del estudio de espectroscopia de impedancia realizado en seco, reportados en otras investigaciones. La conductividad protónica obtenida puede ser mejorada si se hidrata la membrana previamente al análisis de impedancia; por lo anterior, y considerando el conjunto de propiedades que dicha membrana exhibe, se considera que el polímero sulfonado tiene potencial en el área de las celdas de combustible de membranas de intercambio protónico.

Quantisation of the number of generations (or net chiralities in more general term) is also discussed along the way. Self-dual nature of the fourth cohomology of Calabi--Yau fourfolds is essential for the latter issue, while we employ Brill--Noether theory to set upper bounds on the number $\ell$ of vector-like pairs of chiral multiplets in the SU(5) 5+5bar representations. For typical topological choices of geometry for F-theory compactification for SU(5) unification, the range of $0 \leq \ell \lesssim 4$ for perturbative unification is not in immediate conflict with what is already understood about F-theory compactification at this moment.

description: Recently, several studies have discovered a strong discrepancy between the large-scale clustering biases of two subsamples of galaxy clusters at the same halo mass, split by their average projected membership distances $R_{\mathrm{mem}}$. The level of this discrepancy significantly exceeds the maximum halo assembly bias signal predicted by LCDM. In this study, we explore whether some of the clustering bias differences could be caused by biases in $R_{\mathrm{mem}}$ due to projection effects from other systems along the line-of-sight. We thoroughly investigate the halo assembly bias of the photometrically-detected redMaPPer clusters in SDSS, by defining a new variant of the average membership distance estimator $\tilde{R}_{\mathrm{mem}}$ that is more robust against projection effects in the cluster membership identification. Using the angular mark correlation functions of clusters, we show that the large-scale bias differences when splitting by $R_{\mathrm{mem}}$ can be largely attributed to such projection effects. After splitting by $\tilde{R}_{\mathrm{mem}}$, the anomalously large signal is reduced, giving a ratio of $1.02\pm0.14$ between the two clustering biases as measured from weak lensing. Using a realistic mock cluster catalog, we predict that the bias ratio between two $\tilde{R}_{\mathrm{mem}}$-split subsamples should be $<1.10$, which is at least 60% weaker than the maximum halo assembly bias signal (1.24) when split by halo concentration. Therefore, our results demonstrate that the level of halo assembly bias exhibited by redMaPPer clusters in SDSS is consistent with the LCDM prediction. With a ten-fold increase in cluster numbers, deeper ongoing surveys will enable a more robust detection of halo assembly bias. Our findings also have important implications for how projection effects and their impact on cluster cosmology can be quantified in photometric cluster catalogs.

description: We show theoretically that a thermoelectric heat engine, operating exclusively due to quantum-mechanical interference, can reach optimal linear-response performance. A chiral edge state implementation of a close-to-optimal heat engine is proposed in an electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer with a mesoscopic capacitor coupled to one arm. We demonstrate that the maximum power and corresponding efficiency can reach 90\% and 83\%, respectively, of the theoretical maximum. The proposed heat engine can be realized with existing experimental techniques and has a performance robust against moderate dephasing.

Bridges, Boundaries and Hybrid spaces: International Students’ Experiences with Social Media in an Australian University
Creators: name: Sleeman, Jade Amrita
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the School of Education, College of Arts, Social Sciences and Commerce, La Trobe University, Victoria, Australia.

The present study explored the experiences of international students in regard to their uses of social media for learning and their resulting perceptions of connection to peers in their first semester at an Australian university. This mixed methods study included volunteer sampling of international students from language backgrounds other than English. A survey was conducted of participants’ social media uses prior to beginning their degree (n equals 43), and followed with interviews during their first semester to explore their experiences of using social media for educational purposes (n equals 28). The resulting data revealed how the use of social media for learning presents both challenges and affordances for facilitating connection between international students through bridges, boundaries, and hybrid spaces. It is argued that informal student-directed uses of social media to conduct peer interactions for learning purposes is an active space that is impacting on international students’ perceptions of connections to classmates. Where collaborative interactions can be facilitated, these situations can lead to students making connections, or bridges, for learning. However, where only cooperative interactions take place, or students are using new digital spaces that they are uncomfortable in, students can be left feeling disconnected through the visible boundaries from the peers that they are learning with. Finally, where bridges can be made through social media, there is the possibility for hybrid spaces to develop that can accommodate both the academic and social lives of students. The recommendations from the findings are that classroom modelling of collaborative forms of online interaction that build connection would assist in students being better able to create similar conditions in their own informal interactions with classmates. Further research of international students’ experiences beyond their first semester of university would broaden understanding of how the use of social media for learning impacts on a sense of connection.
