description: Hydraulic energy is a key component of the global energy mix, yet there exists no practical way of harvesting it at small scales, from flows at low Reynolds number. This has triggered the search for alternative hydroelectric conversion methodologies, leading to unconventional proposals based on droplet triboelectricity, water evaporation, osmotic energy or flow-induced ionic Coulomb drag. Yet, these approaches systematically rely on ions as intermediate charge carriers, limiting the achievable power density. Here, we predict that the kinetic energy of small-scale "waste" flows can be directly and efficiently converted into electricity thanks to the hydro-electronic drag effect, by which an ion-free liquid induces an electronic current in the solid wall along which it flows. This effect originates in the fluctuation-induced coupling between fluid motion and electron transport. We develop a non-equilibrium thermodynamic formalism to assess the efficiency of such hydroelectric energy conversion, dubbed hydronic energy. We find that hydronic energy conversion is analogous to thermoelectricity, with the efficiency being controlled by a dimensionless figure of merit. However, in contrast to its thermoelectric analogue, this figure of merit combines independently tunable parameters of the solid and the liquid, and can thus significantly exceed unity. Our findings suggest new strategies for blue energy harvesting without electrochemistry, and for waste flow mitigation in membrane-based filtration processes.

subject: Carbon nanodots

description: The study was set out to explore the synthesis of Carbon Nanodots (CDs) and their potential in practical applications in lighting, sensing and biological areas. Toxicity evaluation was also involved in the investigation, because of its profound importance in the real-world applications of CDs. The study sought to answer the following questions: 1) how does the photoluminescence change when we vary the surface functional moieties and change the chemical compositions by doping? 2) For light applications, are the CDs stable enough under the operational conditions? If not, how to improve their stability? 3) How to impart sensing capabilities to CDs through surface design? 4) Are CDs really non-toxic? How does their toxicity change when surface functional groups vary? Through a series of studies, namely 1) salt-encapsulation for enhancing UV- and thermostability; 2) Transparent, yellow-emitting CD films for white light LEDs; 3) Amine-rich CDs for sensing amphetamine precursors; 4) Biocompatible CDs exhibiting antiproliferative activities, I have demonstrated that the emission of the CDs are controllable by modifying the particles surface moieties, and the excitation dependency of the emission can be refined by either fractionation or purification. Despite of what is often reported about the toxicity of CDs, the toxicity of the CDs depends on the surface functional groups of CDs and the biological entities. However, the toxicity of the CDs may be utilized as a therapeutic purpose. Further demonstration on the lighting and sensing may project the bright future of carbon based nanoparticles as an excellent candidate for these applications.

description: Stability data on β-lactam-filled elastomeric devices used in outpatient settings in subtropical and tropical climates is lacking. While extensive stability studies have been performed on β-lactam antibiotics at lower room temperatures, there is not enough evidence to assure their physicochemical stability in elastomeric devices at high temperature conditions. This study aimed to develop and validate simple precise analytical tests for stability determination, and to evaluate the in-use physicochemical stability of β-lactam-filled elastomeric devices in subtropical climates. With outpatient practices rising in popularity, validated analytical tests for stability assessment of elastomeric devices are a necessity, especially when used in warmer weathers. This study successfully developed and validated analytical tests, and stability assessments of β-lactam-filled elastomeric devices incubated under room temperature conditions of 30°C and 40°C were conducted. The results showed that the two different β-lactam-filled elastomeric devices tested remained stable after 24 h of continuous infusion at constant temperatures of 30°C and 40°C. These results suggest that flucloxacillin and cefazolin-filled elastomeric devices are stable at temperatures of 30°C and 40°C and safe to be used in subtropical climates. However, this is only a pilot study and larger scale field-based studies that contemplate multiple real-life ambient fluctuations are needed to ensure the stability of such devices.

description: In this paper, we study the signature codes for weighted binary adder channel (WbAC) and collusion-resistant multimedia fingerprinting. Let $A(n,t)$ denote the maximum cardinality of a $t$-signature code of length $n$, and $A(n,w,t)$ denote the maximum cardinality of a $t$-signature code of length $n$ and constant weight $w$. First, we derive asymptotic and general upper bounds of $A(n,t)$ by relating signature codes to $B_t$ codes and bipartite graphs with large girth respectively, and also show the upper bounds are tight for certain cases. Second, we determine the exact values of $A(n,2,2)$ and $A(n,3,2)$ for infinitely many $n$ by connecting signature codes with $C_4$-free graphs and union-free families, respectively. Third, we provide two explicit constructions for $t$-signature codes which have efficient decoding algorithms and applications to two-level signature codes. Furthermore, we show from the geometric viewpoint that there does not exist any binary code with complete traceability for noisy WbAC and multimedia fingerprinting. A new type of signature codes with a weaker requirement than complete traceability is introduced for the noisy scenario.

This research is driven by the need to understand and prevent the heterosexual sexual transmission of HIV/AIDS. I focus on young heterosexual men’s understandings and experiences of condom use and non-use, given that condoms are a key means of preventing the sexual transmission of HIV. ¶ I conducted in-depth interviews with seventeen men, using these to explore sexual practices and the meanings and sociosexual relations through which these are organised. This ‘close-focus’ qualitative approach is oriented to assessing the interplay between men’s personal experience and the social relations of sexuality and gender. I draw on empirical feminist investigations of women’s relation to HIV/AIDS, the critical scholarship on men and masculinities and masculine sexualities, and sociological scholarship on sexualities. ¶ ...

 Lactiplantibacillus (Lac.ti.plan.ti.ba.cil'lus. L. neut. n. lactis milk; L. fem. n. planta plant, referring to the plantarum -group lactobacilli; L. masc. n. bacillus a rod; N.L. masc. n. Lactiplantibacillus a milk derived rodlet from the (Lactobacillus) plantarum group.
 Lactiplantibacillus species are Gram-positive, non-sporeforming, homofermentative and non-motile rods. Lactiplantibacillus species ferment a wide range of carbohydrates; most species metabolise phenolic acids by esterase, decarboxylase and reductase activities. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum is atypical for its pseudocatalase activity and reduction of nitrate. For discrimination between the two subspecies of L. plantarum, sequencing of the recA and cpn60 genes or AFLP profiling is necessary [228, 229]. The mol % G+C content of DNA ranges between 42.9 and 48.7.
 Lactiplantibacillus species are isolated from many different fermented foods including fermented vegetables, meats, dairy products, and fermented cereals [58, 59], but they are also found in insect-associated habitats or as temporary residents of vertebrate intestinal microbiota and are characterized by a nomadic behaviour [230]. L. plantarum has been widely used as a model species for metabolic, ecological, and genetic studies in lactobacilli. L. plantarum is of commercial importance as starter culture for multiple food fermentations, and is applied as probiotic culture.
 A phylogenetic tree on the basis of 16S rRNA genes of all species in the genus Lactiplantibacillus is provided in Figure S6K.
 The type species is Lactiplantibacillus plantarum comb. nov.; Lactiplantibacillus was previously referred to as L. plantarum group.

description: We study the visible and near-infrared (NIR) spectral properties of different ACO populations and compare them to the independently determined properties of comets. We select our ACOs sample based on published dynamical criteria and present our own observational results obtained using the 10.4m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC), the 4.2m William Herschel Telescope (WHT), the 3.56m Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG), and the 2.5m Isaac Newton Telescope (INT), all located at the El Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (La Palma, Spain), and the 3.0m NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF), located at the Mauna Kea Observatory, in Hawaii. We include in the analysis the spectra of ACOs obtained from the literature. We derive the spectral class and the visible and NIR spectral slopes. We also study the presence of hydrated minerals by studying the 0.7 $μ$m band and the UV-drop below 0.5 $μ$m associated with phyllosilicates. We present new observations of 17 ACOs, 11 of them observed in the visible, 2 in the NIR and 4 in the visible and NIR. We also discuss the spectra of 12 ACOs obtained from the literature. All but two ACOs have a primitive-like class spectrum (X or D-type). Almost 100\% of the ACOs in long-period cometary orbits (Damocloids) are D-types. Those in Jupiter family comet orbits (JFC-ACOs) are $\sim$ 60\% D-types and $\sim$ 40\% X-types. The mean spectral slope $S'$ of JFC-ACOs is 9.7 $\pm$ 4.6 \%/1000 Å\ and for the Damocloids this is 12.2 $\pm$ 2.0 \%/1000 Å. No evidence of hydration on the surface of ACOs is found from their visible spectra. The slope and spectral class distribution of ACOs is similar to that of comets. The spectral classification, the spectral slope distribution of ACOs, and the lack of spectral features indicative of the presence of hydrated minerals on their surface, strongly suggest that ACOs are likely dormant or extinct comets.

description: By replacing the ordinary product with the so called $\star$-product, one can construct an analogue of the anti-self-dual Yang-Mills (ASDYM) equations on the noncommutative $\bbR^4$. Many properties of the ordinary ASDYM equations turn out to be inherited by the $\star$-product ASDYM equation. In particular, the twistorial interpretation of the ordinary ASDYM equations can be extended to the noncommutative $\bbR^4$, from which one can also derive the fundamental strutures for integrability such as a zero-curvature representation, an associated linear system, the Riemann-Hilbert problem, etc. These properties are further preserved under dimensional reduction to the principal chiral field model and Hitchin's Higgs pair equations. However, some structures relying on finite dimensional linear algebra break down in the $\star$-product analogues.

description: The existing viscous and incompressible theory of isothermal sound propagation and attenuation in suspensions considers solid particles which are infinitely viscous. We extend the theory by applying the amended Coriolis flowmeter "bubble theory". Here, the drag force is a function of both the fluid and particle Stokes numbers and the particle-to-fluid ratio of the dynamic viscosity [V.Galindo and G.Gerbeth, A note on the force of an accelerating spherical drop at low-Reynolds number, Phys. Fluids A Vol. 5, 3290-3292 (1993)]. Aerosol and hydrosol examples are presented and differences between the original and extended theories are discussed.

description: Compass models provide insights into the properties of Mott-insulating materials that host bond-dependent anisotropic interactions between their pseudospin degrees of freedom. In this article, we explore the classical and quantum ground state properties of one such model relevant to certain layered perovskite materials akin to Ba$_2$IrO$_4$ - namely, the Heisenberg-compass model on the square lattice. We first investigate the ground state phase diagram of this model using classical Monte Carlo simulations. These reveal that the low temperature classical phase diagram is divided into six different classes of long-range ordered phases, including four phases that exhibit an order by disorder selection and two phases that are stabilized energetically. This model admits a special duality transformation, known as the Klein duality, conveniently allowing to map one region of coupling parameters onto another and constraining the phase diagram, and which we exploit in our study. From the analysis of the zero-point energy and the free energy of the spin waves, we find that order by quantum disorder at zero temperature and order by thermal disorder select the same orderings as those found from classical Monte Carlo simulations. We further investigate the quantum ground states of this model using numerical exact diagonalization on small clusters by exploiting the translational symmetry of the square lattice. We obtain a ground state phase diagram bearing close resemblance to that found from the classical analysis.

Acid mine drainage in British Columbia : today and tomorrow
Creators: name: Errington, John
name: Ferguson, Keith D., 1952-
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Of the 16 metal mines currently operating in British Columbia, five generate acid mine drainage. At least five abandoned mines also produce acid mine drainage. Acid mine drainage flows from underground workings, tailings, open pits and waste rock dumps. The production of acid mine drainage from open pits and waste rock dumps is a major concern in B.C. The date of initial release of acid mine drainage is uncertain for most mines, but is known to be as rapid as one year and as slow as 11 years. Significant levels of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans have been found in all acid mine drainage. Release of acid mine drainage has resulted in some major impacts on the environment in B.C. The five operating mines have instituted comprehensive pollution abatement programs to address the problem while little has been done to control the abandoned mines. New mine proposals are now reviewed in detail. Many of the properties currently under active exploration have the potential for acid generation. Potential acid generating mines are primarily massive sulphide deposits although there are three possible coal mines with acid mine drainage potential.

 Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (plan.ta’rum. L. gen. pl. n. plantarum of plants).
 Basonym: Lactobacillus plantarum Bergey et al. 1923, 250 (Approved Lists)
 Previously designated as Streptobacterium plantarum [2]. Cells are non-motile rods occurring singly, in pairs, or in short chains. Some strains reduce nitrate in limited glucose concentration and pH 6.0 or higher. Some strains exhibit pseudocatalase activity, or true catalase when haem is present. They require calcium pantothenate and niacin to grow [2, 231].
 The species has a nomadic lifestyle; it is a dominant member of the microbiota in spontaneous vegetable and olive fermentations and also occurs in sourdough, dairy fermentations, and fermented meats [58, 59]. L. plantarum contributes to spoilage of beer and wine. L. plantarum also is part of the microbiota of insects [232], and is isolated from the human intestinal tract, particularly the oral cavity.
 Two subspecies are recognized: Lactiplantibacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum subsp. argentoratensis.

description: Background: The obesity epidemic is the greatest public health problem of our time, and exerts an enormous health and economic burden by acting as a risk factor for multiple disorders and all-cause mortality. While environmental and social factors certainly contribute to the complex etiology of obesity, there is strong evidence of a substantial genetic component. The majority of obesity genes are involved the leptin-melanocortin receptor pathway governing energy homeostasis, but mutations affecting this circuit are often untreatable and rare, and an improved understanding of other genetic risk factors could aid in the development of novel therapies. In this thesis I study two obesity candidate genes with unclear direct relevance to disease: 1) rare structural variation at the 16p11.2 BP4-BP5 locus and 2) common variation in the Fat Mass and Obesity-Associated (FTO) gene.
      Methods: 1) I analyzed disinhibited eating measurements from families with 16p11.2 copy number variation (CNV) carriers, to test whether eating in the absence of hunger (EAH) and loss of control (LOC) eating behaviors mediate the dosage-dependent CNV-BMI relationship. 2) Using association data from a study of over 20,000 African Americans and 1,145 functional annotations from the Encyclopedia of Non-coding Elements (ENCODE) and Roadmap Epigenomics projects, I statistically fine-mapped the FTO locus to identify the SNP(s) and cellular contexts underlying the association between FTO and obesity.
      Results: 1) EAH due to external triggers mediates over 30% of the 16p11.2 deletion’s effect on obesity, while other EAH and LOC behaviors were not significant mediators. This result was independent of IQ deficits and autism related to the CNV, as well as parents’ feeding behaviors and practices. 2) Given 51 FTO SNPs’ association statistics, correlation, and overlap with functional annotations, rs9927317 and rs62033405 had the highest posterior probability of association with obesity. Obesity-associated SNPs may regulate expression of FTO and/or nearby genes through the activity of enhancers and 5’ ends of transcribed genes in the substantia nigra of the brain, bone chondrocytes, and white adipose.
      Conclusions: These results may help pinpoint the specific genes, regulatory elements, and cellular contexts through which the 16p11.2 and FTO loci exert their effects on obesity.

description: We derive the macroscopic laws that govern the evolution of the density of particles in the exclusion process on the Sierpinski gasket in the presence of a variable speed boundary. We obtain, at the hydrodynamics level, the heat equation evolving on the Sierpinski gasket with either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions, depending on whether the reservoirs are fast or slow. For a particular strength of the boundary dynamics we obtain linear Robin boundary conditions. As for the fluctuations, we prove that, when starting from the stationary measure, namely the product Bernoulli measure in the equilibrium setting, they are governed by Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes with the respective boundary conditions.

description: We present a class of systems for which the signal-to-noise ratio as a function of the noise level may display a multiplicity of maxima. This phenomenon, referred to as stochastic multiresonance, indicates the possibility that periodic signals may be enhanced at multiple values of the noise level, instead of at a single value which has occurred in systems considered up to now in the framework of stochastic resonance.

description: The unordered configuration space of $n$ points on a graph $Γ,$ denoted here by $UC^n(Γ),$ can be viewed as the space of all configurations of $n$ unlabeled robots on a system of one-dimensional tracks, which is interpreted as a graph $Γ.$ The topology of these spaces is related to the number of vertices of degree greater than 2; this number is denoted by $m(Γ).$ We discuss a combinatorial approach to compute the topological complexity of a "discretized" version of this space, $UD^n(Γ),$ and give results for certain classes of graphs. In the first case, we show that for a large class of graphs, as long as the number of robots is at least $2m(Γ)$, then $TC(UD^n(Γ))=2m(Γ)+1.$ In the second, we show that as long as the number of robots is at most half the number of vertex-disjoint cycles in $Γ,$ we have $TC(UD^n(Γ))=2n+1.$

description: CA-Polar codes have been selected for all control channel communications in 5G NR, but accurate, computationally feasible decoders are still subject to development. Here we report the performance of a recently proposed class of optimally precise Maximum Likelihood (ML) decoders, GRAND, that can be used with any block-code. As published theoretical results indicate that GRAND is computationally efficient for short-length, high-rate codes and 5G CA-Polar codes are in that class, here we consider GRAND's utility for decoding them. Simulation results indicate that decoding of 5G CA-Polar codes by GRAND, and a simple soft detection variant, is a practical possibility.

description: This thesis aimed to contribute new information and analytical frameworks to the science of fauna conservation in human-modified landscapes. Two approaches were used: (1) empirical data collection and analysis, and (2) the discussion and development of conceptual landscape models. ¶ Empirical work focused on lizard distribution patterns in two production landscapes in southeastern Australia. Lizards were targeted because ectotherms are frequently neglected by conservation biologists. The “Nanangroe grazing landscape” was used for sheep and cattle grazing. Lizards were surveyed at 16 landscape units, which were stratified by aspect, topographic position and amount of tree cover. ... ¶ The “Tumut plantation landscape” was a spatial mosaic of native eucalypt (Eucalyptus) forest patches embedded within a plantation of the introduced radiata pine (Pinus radiata). In this landscape, thirty sites were surveyed for lizards. ...

Non-smooth differential geometry of pseudo-Riemannian manifolds: Boundary and geodesic structure of gravitational wave space-times in mathematical relativity

description: This thesis is largely concerned with the changing representations of 'boundary' or 'ideal' points of a pseudo-Riemannian manifold -- and our primary interest is in the space-times of general relativity. In particular, we are interested in the following question: What assumptions about the 'nature' of 'portions' of a certain 'ideal boundary' construction (essentially the 'abstract boundary' of Scott and Szekeres (1994)) allow us to define precisely the topological type of these 'portions', i.e., to show that different representations of this ideal boundary, corresponding to different embeddings of the manifold into others, have corresponding 'portions' that are homeomorphic?

Tomographic reconstruction of shock layer flows
Creators: name: Faletič, Rado
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2005
Subjects: tomography

hypersonic

description: The tomographic reconstruction of hypersonic flows faces two challenges. Firstly, techniques used in the past, such as the Direct Fourier Method (DFM) or various backprojection techniques, have only been able to reconstruct areas of the flow which are upstream of any opaque objects, such as a model. Secondly, shock waves create sharp discontinuities in flow properties, which can be difficult to reconstruct both in position and in magnitude. ¶ This thesis will present a reconstruction method, utilising geometric ray-tracing and a sparse matrix iterative solver, which is capable of overcoming both of these challenges. It will be shown, through testing with phantom objects described in imaging and tomographic literature, that the results are comparable to those produced by the DFM technique. Finally, the method will be used to reconstruct three dimensional density fields from interferometric shock tunnel images, with good resolution.
Light-Cone Expansion of the Dirac Sea in the Presence of Chiral and Scalar Potentials

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We study the Dirac sea in the presence of external chiral and scalar/pseudoscalar potentials. In preparation, a method is developed for calculating the advanced and retarded Green's functions in an expansion around the light cone. For this, we first expand all Feynman diagrams and then explicitly sum up the perturbation series. The light-cone expansion expresses the Green's functions as an infinite sum of line integrals over the external potential and its partial derivatives. The Dirac sea is decomposed into a causal and a non-causal contribution. The causal contribution has a light-cone expansion which is closely related to the light-cone expansion of the Green's functions; it describes the singular behavior of the Dirac sea in terms of nested line integrals along the light cone. The non-causal contribution, on the other hand, is, to every order in perturbation theory, a smooth function in position space.

Generalized Feedback Loop for Joint Hand-Object Pose Estimation

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)

description: We propose an approach to estimating the 3D pose of a hand, possibly handling an object, given a depth image. We show that we can correct the mistakes made by a Convolutional Neural Network trained to predict an estimate of the 3D pose by using a feedback loop. The components of this feedback loop are also Deep Networks, optimized using training data. This approach can be generalized to a hand interacting with an object. Therefore, we jointly estimate the 3D pose of the hand and the 3D pose of the object. Our approach performs en-par with state-of-the-art methods for 3D hand pose estimation, and outperforms state-of-the-art methods for joint hand-object pose estimation when using depth images only. Also, our approach is efficient as our implementation runs in real-time on a single GPU.
