description: This PhD study proposed an innovative bonded sleeve beam-column connection for fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) building structures, which employs a sleeve connector formed by welding a steel tube to a steel endplate. The static and cyclic performance of the proposed bonded sleeve connections have been examined at both joint level and structural level through experimental and numerical studies. The proposed bonded sleeve connection exhibits a favourable ductile failure behaviour and an excellent energy dissipation capacity through yielding of the sleeve connector, which are beneficial to the application of FRP materials in building structures.

description: To evaluate the real-world impact of mepolizumab on the incidence of asthma exacerbations, oral corticosteroid (OCS) use and asthma exacerbation-related costs in patients with high-burden severe asthma. This was a retrospective study of the MarketScan Commercial and Medicare Databases in patients with high-burden severe asthma (≥80th percentile of total healthcare expenditure and/or significant comorbidity burden). Patients were ≥12 years of age upon mepolizumab initiation (index date November 1, 2015–December 31, 2018) and had ≥2 mepolizumab administrations during the 6 months post-index. Asthma exacerbation frequency (primary outcome), use of OCS (secondary outcome), and asthma exacerbation-related costs (exploratory outcome) were assessed during the 12 months pre-index (baseline) and post-index (follow-up). In total, 281 patients were analyzed. Mepolizumab significantly reduced the proportion of patients with any asthma exacerbation (P < 0.001) or exacerbations requiring hospitalization (P = 0.004) in the follow-up versus baseline period. The mean number of exacerbations decreased from 2.5 to 1.5 events/patient/year (relative reduction: 40.0%; P < 0.001). The proportion of patients with ≥1 OCS claim also decreased significantly from 94.0% to 81.9% (relative reduction: 12.9%; P < 0.001), corresponding to a decrease from 6.6 to 4.7 claims/person/year (P < 0.001). Of the 264 patients with ≥1 OCS claim during baseline, 191 (72.3%) showed a decrease in mean daily OCS use by ≥50% in 117 patients (61.3%). Total asthma exacerbation-related costs were significantly lower after mepolizumab was initiated (P < 0.001). Mepolizumab reduced exacerbation frequency, OCS use and asthma exacerbation-related costs in patients with high-cost severe asthma. Mepolizumab provides real-world benefits to patients, healthcare systems and payers.

description: Spontaneous collapse models predict that a weak force noise acts on any mechanical system, as a consequence of the collapse of the wave function. Significant upper limits on the collapse rate have been recently inferred from precision mechanical experiments, such as ultracold cantilevers and the space mission LISA Pathfinder. Here, we report new results from an experiment based on a high-Q cantilever cooled to millikelvin temperatures, which is potentially able to improve the current bounds on the continuous spontaneous localization (CSL) model by 1 order of magnitude. High accuracy measurements of the cantilever thermal fluctuations reveal a nonthermal force noise of unknown origin. This excess noise is compatible with the CSL heating predicted by Adler. Several physical mechanisms able to explain the observed noise have been ruled out.ler. Several physical mechanisms able to explain the observed noise have been ruled out.

description: The central compact object within HESS J1731- 347 possesses unique mass and radius properties that renders it a compelling candidate for a self-bound star. In this research, we examine the capability of quark stars composed of colour superconducting quark matter to explain the latter object by using its marginalised posterior distribution and imposing it as a constraint on the relevant parameter space. Namely, we investigate quark matter for $N_f=2,3$ in the colour superconducting phase, incorporating perturbative QCD corrections, and we derive their properties accordingly. The utilised thermodynamic potential of this work possesses an MIT bag model formalism with the parameters being established as flavour-independent. In this instance, we conclude the favour of 3-flavour over 2-flavour colour superconducting quark matter, isolating our interest on the former. The parameter space is further confined due to the additional requirement for a high maximum mass ($M_{\text{TOV}} \geq 2.6 M_{\odot}$), accounting for GW$190814$'s secondary companion. We pay a significant attention on the speed of sound and the trace anomaly (proposed as a measure of conformality [\href{https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.129.252702}{10.1103/PhysRevLett.129.252702}]). We conclude that it is possible for colour-flavour locked quark stars to reach high masses without violating the conformal bound or the $\langle Θ\rangle _{μ_B} \geq 0$ if the quartic coefficient value $α_4$ does not exceed an upper limit which is solely dependent on the established $M_{\text{TOV}}$. For $M_{\text{TOV}}=2.6 M_{\odot}$, we find that the limit reads $α_4 \leq 0.594$. Lastly, a further study takes place on the agreement of colour-flavour locked quark stars with additional astrophysical objects including the GW$170817$ and GW$190425$ events, followed by a relevant discussion.

description: To compare parent reported physician diagnosed asthma from questionnaires for epidemiological purposes, to general practitioner (GP) recorded childhood asthma. This study was embedded in the KOALA Birth Cohort Study with regular follow-up by ISAAC core questions on asthma in 2834 children in two different recruitment groups, with ‘conventional’ lifestyles or ‘alternative’ lifestyles. At age 11–13 years these data were linked to data extracted from GP records. We compared parent reported physician diagnosed asthma, asthma medication use, and current asthma with GP recorded asthma diagnosis and medication. Two different combinations of questions were used to define current asthma (i.e. ISAAC and MeDALL based definition). Among 958 children with information provided both by the parents and GPs, 98 children (10.2%) had parent reported physician diagnosed asthma, 115 children (12.0%) had a GP recorded asthma diagnosis (Cohen’s kappa 0.49; 95% CI 0.40 to 0.57). Discrepant cases showed that asthma symptoms at an early age led to different labeling between parents and GP. The agreement between ISAAC based definition and MeDALL based definition was excellent (Cohen’s kappa 0.82; 95% CI 0.74 to 0.88). Parent reported physician diagnosed asthma and GP recorded childhood asthma had only moderate agreement, and is possibly influenced by labeling early transient wheeze as asthma diagnosis. It is important that parent reported physician diagnosed asthma is combined with additional questions such as current asthma symptoms and asthma medication use, as used in ISAAC or MeDALL based current asthma, in order to obtain reliable information for epidemiological research.

description: This study focused more on material synthesis which is obtaining functioning materials of high homogeneity, high uniformity, high purity, high yield, and low agglomeration. In this study, two different materials namely carbon micro-spheres (CMS) and nickel (II) oxide (NiO). Crystalline nano-cellulose (CNC) was successfully used to synthesise CMS particles via hydrothermal treatment method. In this synthesis approach, CNC are dissolved in distilled water and placed in an autoclave reactor (tight sealed reactor) to be heated to a mild temperature and held at that temperature for a specific time. Meanwhile, the co-precipitation method, was used to effectively form single crystalline NiO sub-micro rods by precipitating nickel (II) oxalate by mixing nickel (II) nitrate with ammonium oxalate. Both the CMS and NiO sub-micro rods were used to fabricate NiO/YSZ composite, which is a common cermet system in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC).

description: The utilization of Victorian brown coal (VBC) is restricted domestically due to its high moisture content and handling difficultly. A stepwise pyrolysis and gasification technology was developed to promote VBC utilization in entrained flow gasifier. The process simulation was conducted using Aspen Plus, where a higher efficiency process was achieved based on exergy analysis. The co-gasification for VBC and bituminous coal has been studied experimentally in terms of reactivity and ash slagging propensity. The completion of this project provides theoretical reference and technical support for VBC industrial gasification applications. It also broadens the utilization range for low-rank fuels in the carbon-constrained future.

description: We present here a new stochastic modelling in the constitution of fluid flow reduced-order models. This framework introduces a spatially inhomogeneous random field to represent the unresolved small-scale velocity component. Such a decomposition of the velocity in terms of a smooth large-scale velocity component and a rough, highly oscillating, component gives rise, without any supplementary assumption, to a large-scale flow dynamics that includes a modified advection term together with an inhomogeneous diffusion term. Both of those terms, related respectively to turbophoresis and mixing effects, depend on the variance of the unre-solved small-scale velocity component. They bring to the reduced system an explicit subgrid term enabling to take into account the action of the truncated modes. Besides, a decomposition of the variance tensor in terms of diffusion modes provides a meaningful statistical representation of the stationary or nonstationary structuration of the small-scale velocity and of its action on the resolved modes. This supplies a useful tool for turbulent fluid flows data analysis. We apply this methodology to circular cylinder wake flow at Reynolds numbers Re = 300 and Re = 3900, respectively. The finite dimensional models of the wake flows reveal the energy and the anisotropy distributions of the small-scale diffusion modes. These distributions identify critical regions where corrective advection effects as well as structured energy dissipation effects take place. In providing rigorously derived subgrid terms, the proposed approach yields accurate and robust temporal reconstruction of the low-dimensional models.

description: The perception of personal safety among public transport users is one of the most important factors that influences ridership and overall quality of service. This research investigates passengers’ perceptions of personal safety at railway stations in Melbourne. There are a range of factors that are thought to influence perceptions of safety on public transport, including: crime, feelings of safety in the neighbourhood, personal experience of crime and anti-social behaviours (ASB), individual demographics and design quality of the stations. This research explored the relative influences of all of these factors on the perception of safety of rail passengers.

description: Fermi-LAT observations provide continuous and regularly-sampled measurements of gamma-ray photon flux for hundreds of blazars. Many of these light curves, spanning almost 15 years, have been thoroughly examined for periodicity in multiple studies. However, the possibility that blazars may exhibit irregularly repeating flaring patterns in their gamma-ray light curves has not been systematically explored. In this study, we aim to find repeating episodes of flaring activity in the 100 brightest blazars using Fermi-LAT light curves with various integration times. We use a Bayesian Blocks representation to convert the time series into strings of symbols and search for repeating sub-strings using a fuzzy search algorithm. As a result, we identify 27 repeated episodes in the gamma-ray light curves of 10 blazars. We find that the patterns are most likely produced in structured jets composed of a fast spine and a slower sheath. When individual emission features propagate in the spine, they scatter seed photons produced in the non-uniform sheath through the inverse Compton mechanism, resulting in a set of gamma-ray flares with a similar profile every such passage. Additionally, we explore the theoretically-predicted possibility that the spine-sheath structure facilitates the production of high-energy neutrinos in blazar jets. Using the catalogue of track-like events detected by the IceCube neutrino telescope, we find evidence supporting this hypothesis at a $2.8σ$ significance level.

description: Constraining the dark energy deceleration parameter is one of the fascinating topics in the recent cosmological paradigm. This work aims to reconstruct the dark energy using parametrization of the deceleration parameter in a flat FRW universe filled with radiation, dark energy, and pressure-less dark matter. Thus, we have considered four well-motivated parameterizations of q(z), which can provide the evolution scenario from the deceleration to acceleration phase of the Universe. We have evaluated the expression of the corresponding Hubble parameter of each parametrization by imposing it into the Friedmann equation. We have constrained the model parameter through H(z), Pantheon, and baryons acoustic oscillation (BOA) data. Next, we have estimated the best-fit values of the model parameters by using Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) technique and implementing H(z)+ BAO+SNe-Ia dataset. Then we analyzed the cosmographic parameter, such as deceleration, jerk, and snap parameters, graphically by employing the best-fit values of the model parameter. Moreover, we have analyzed statefinder and Om diagnostics parameters for each scenario to discriminate various dark energy models. Using the information criteria, the viability of the models have examined. In the end, we have analogized our outcomes with the standard ΛCDM model to examine the viability of our models

description: To (a) identify rates of hospital readmission and emergency department (ED) re-presentation for asthma within a 12-month period, (b) estimate the effects of modifiable hospital, general practitioner (GP) and home environmental factors on hospital readmission, ED re-presentations and rescue oral corticosteroid use. We recruited 767 children aged 3–18 years who were admitted to 3 hospitals in Victoria, Australia between 2017 and 2018 with a validated diagnosis of asthma on chart review. Primary outcome was hospital readmission with asthma within 12 months of index admission. Secondary outcomes were ED re-presentation for asthma and rescue oral corticosteroid use. All outcomes were identified through linked administrative datasets. Their caregivers and 277 nominated GPs completed study surveys regarding the home environment and their usual asthma management practices respectively. Within 12 months of an index admission for asthma 263 (34.3%) participants were readmitted to a hospital for asthma, with participants between the ages of 3–5 years accounting for 69.2% of those readmitted. The estimated effect of GP reported guideline discordant care on the odds of readmission was OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.00–2.47, p = 0.05. None of the hospital or home environmental factors appeared to be associated with hospital readmissions. Hospital readmissions among Australian children with asthma are increasing, and linked datasets are important for objectively identifying the health services burden of asthma. They also confirm the important role of the GP in the management of pediatric asthma.

description: A giant Zn segregation transition is revealed using CALPHAD-integrated density-based modelling of segregation into Fe grain boundaries (GBs). The results show that above a threshold of only a few atomic percent Zn in the alloy, a substantial amount of up to 60 at.\% Zn can segregate to the GB. We found that the amount of segregation abruptly increases with decreasing temperature, while the Zn content in the alloy required for triggering the segregation transition decreases. Direct evidence of the Zn segregation transition is obtained using high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy. Base on the model, we trace the origin of the segregation transition back to the low cohesive energy of Zn and a miscibility gap in Fe-Zn GB, arising from the magnetic ordering effect, which is confirmed by ab-initio calculations. We also show that the massive Zn segregation resulting from the segregation transition greatly assists with liquid wetting and reduces the work of separation along the GB. The current predictions suggest that control over Zn segregation, by both alloy design and optimizing the galvanization and welding processes, may offer preventive strategies against liquid metal embrittlement.

description: Resonance Energy Transfer (RET) has received a great deal of attention because it has proven to bring more efficient solar cells and highly accurate nanosystems. Although the process of RET has been studies extensively, open questions regarding the mechanisms of RET phenomenon in many aspects still exist. Thus, being able to control RET efficiency would be immensely useful, which has not yet been properly investigated. Therefore, this research aims to investigate quantum-level light–matter interactions in confined geometries and the influence of the surrounding media in RET, which together will satisfy the main objective of achieving precise control over RET.

description: The principal component of a European social model was considered to be convergence of social outcomes toward the top. However, the latest economic and social trends are no longer characterized by a steady narrowing of the gap between the more and lesser advanced countries. While all European countries were affected by the economic crisis of 2008 and a coordinated response was put into place in 2009, since 2010, we see a growing divergence between two groups of countries in Europe. The first group, mainly in the North of Europe, concentrated around Germany, Austria, the Nordic countries, along with certain Eastern European countries having close economic ties to Germany, has steadily emerged from the crisis and resumed a positive economic and social path. The second group, however, comprised mainly of the Southern and Eastern periphery, remains stuck in negative economic and social situations following the crisis. This chapter demonstrates the initial economic convergence, followed by a stark divergence in certain economic and social outcomes after the crisis of 2008. It reviews the various explanations for these divergences. Finally, it considers the political outcomes of this economic and social dualization. We argue that despite the seemingly uniform rise of populist anti-EU challengers across Europe, these challengers differ significantly in the grievances they raise. Radical right parties are dominant in the center, while radical left parties outperform the radical right in the periphery, a dynamic that constitutes a second, political, dualization of Eu

description: Risk for asthma in the overweight/obese may be mediated by adiponectin and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor pathways and may be reduced by the use of oral drugs impacting these pathways, such as angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I), thiazolidinediones (TZD), and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB). Our study objective was to determine whether ACE-I, TZD, and/or ARB use in overweight/obese adults with diabetes mellitus and/or hypertension is associated with a lower risk for incident asthma. Using an existing cohort of American veterans, we performed a longitudinal data analysis over 15 years. Exposure was defined by the prescription pickup of ACE-I, TZD, and/or ARB for at least 4 weeks. The outcome, time until new-onset of clinician-diagnosed asthma, was studied using survival analysis. The propensity scoring method controlled for treatment selection bias. 2.83 million eligible veterans, including 77,278 with incident asthma, were studied. As compared to those unexposed, the use of ACE-I alone, TZD alone, or their combinations were each associated with decreased risk for incident asthma (hazard ratios of 0.88, 0.74, and 0.20, respectively; p < 0.001 for all analyses in the fully adjusted statistical models). TZD lowered the risk among racial/ethnic minority subjects more than among White participants (p < 0.001). On the other hand, ARB use alone or in combination with TZD was associated with a higher risk for incident asthma. Use of ACE-I and/or TZD was associated with a lower risk for incident asthma in overweight/obese patients with diabetes mellitus and/or hypertension.

description: We present a solution to the problem of defining genus zero open Gromov-Witten invariants with boundary constraints for a Lagrangian submanifold of arbitrary dimension. Previously, such invariants were known only in dimensions $2$ and $3$ from the work of Welschinger. Our approach does not require the Lagrangian to be fixed by an anti-symplectic involution, but can use such an involution, if present, to obtain stronger results. Also, non-trivial invariants are defined for broader classes of interior constraints and Lagrangian submanifolds than previously possible even in the presence of an anti-symplectic involution. The invariants of the present work specialize to invariants of Welschinger, Fukaya, and Georgieva in many instances. The main obstacle to defining open Gromov-Witten invariants with boundary constraints in arbitrary dimension is the bubbling of $J$-holomorphic disks. Unlike in low dimensions or for interior constraints, disk bubbles do not cancel in pairs by anti-symplectic involution symmetry. Rather, we use the technique of bounding chains introduced in Fukaya-Oh-Ohta-Ono's work on Lagrangian Floer theory to cancel disk bubbling. At the same time and independently, gauge equivalence classes of bounding chains play the role of boundary constraints, in place of the cohomology classes that usually serve as constraints in Gromov-Witten theory. A crucial step in our construction is to identify a canonical up to gauge equivalence family of "point-like" bounding chains, which specialize in dimensions $2$ and $3$ to the point constraints considered by Welschinger.

Scalaroca stars: coupled scalar-Proca solitons

description: We construct and explore the physical properties of \textit{scalaroca stars}: spherically symmetric solitonic solutions made of a complex scalar field $Φ$ and a complex Proca field $A^μ$. We restrict our attention to configurations in which both fields are in the fundamental state and possess an equal mass, focusing on the cases when ($i$) the scalar and Proca fields are (non--linearly) super--imposed and do not interact with each other; and ($ii$) the scalar and Proca fields interact through the term $α|Φ| ^2 A^μA_μ$. The solutions are found numerically for the non--interacting case ($α=0$) as well as for both signs of the interaction coupling constant $α$. While pure ($i.e.$ single--field) Proca/scalar boson stars are the most/least massive for weakly--interacting fields, one can obtain more massive solutions for a sufficiently strong interaction. Besides, in the latter case, solutions can be either in a synchronized state -- in which both fields have the same frequency -- or in a non--synchronized state. In addition, we observe that the coupling between the two fields allows solitonic solutions with a real scalar field. We further comment on the possibility of spontaneous scalarization and vectorization of the interacting solitonic solution.

description: This PhD research investigated the implementation of emerging two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides in next-generation strain sensing systems in civil practice. Compared with traditional strain sensors, the sensors based on these novel atomically thin materials can provide higher performance regarding strain sustainability, resolution, responsivity and sensitivity due to their unique electrical, optical and mechanical properties. The fabrication, transfer, strain engineering and heterostructure formation of these two-dimensional materials are studied and realised, which pave the way for their ultimate application as new-class strain sensors.

description: Patient education is a key element in the management of asthma. This study aimed to evaluate the popularity and usefulness of YouTube videos on asthma. Two authors screened and evaluated the 200 most popular videos. Data on likes, dislikes, views, comment, source of uploader, days since upload, and usefulness were recorded and included for analyses. The usefulness of the videos was categorized as follows: useful, misleading, or neutral. Misleading videos provided at least one scientifically incorrect detail, whereas useful videos contained scientifically correct information. A total of 130 videos were included, and the total number of views was 100,290,242 with a total duration of 29 h and 8 min. While 26.6% of videos were uploaded by TV shows and YouTube channels, only 7.7% were uploaded by lung specialists. 65.4% of the videos contained scientifically correct information, whereas 18.5% contained misleading information. Although videos from medical professionals had a higher quality than videos from YouTube channels and TV shows, the latter were more popular. Misleading videos had numerically, but not statistically significant higher views compared with useful videos. YouTube videos on asthma are popular in terms of viewer interaction, and the popularity is not restricted to videos uploaded by professional sources. Although more than half of the videos were found to be useful, a non-negligible proportion of videos were assessed as misleading. The usefulness of YouTube videos on asthma is variable and initiatives should be taken to increase the potential of YouTube as an useful source in patient education.
