description: If a $Spin(7)$ manifold $N^8$ admits a free $S^1$ action preserving the fundamental $4$-form then the quotient space $M^7$ is naturally endowed with a $G_2$-structure. We derive equations relating the intrinsic torsion of the $Spin(7)$-structure to that of the $G_2$-structure together with the additional data of a Higgs field and the curvature of the $S^1$-bundle; this can be interpreted as a Gibbons-Hawking-type ansatz for $Spin(7)$-structures. We focus on the three $Spin(7)$ torsion classes: torsion-free, locally conformally parallel and balanced. In particular we show that if $N$ is a $Spin(7)$ manifold then $M$ cannot have holonomy contained in $G_2$ unless $N$ is in fact a Calabi-Yau $4$-fold and $M$ is the product of a Calabi-Yau $3$-fold and an interval. We also derive a new formula for the Ricci curvature of $Spin(7)$-structures in terms of the torsion forms. We then describe this $S^1$-quotient construction in detail for the Bryant-Salamon $Spin(7)$ metric on the spinor bundle of $S^4$ and for the flat metric on $\mathbb{R}^8$.

description: We investigate the $\mathbb{T}^2$-quotient of a torsion free $Spin(7)$-structure on an $8$-manifold under the assumption that the quotient $6$-manifold is Kähler. We show that there exists either a Hamiltonian $S^1$ or $\mathbb{T}^2$ action on the quotient preserving the complex structure. Performing a Kähler reduction in each case reduces the problem of finding $Spin(7)$ metrics to studying a system of PDEs on either a $4$- or $2$-manifold with trivial canonical bundle, which in the compact case corresponds to either $\mathbb{T}^4$, a K3 surface or an elliptic curve. By reversing this construction we give infinitely many new explicit examples of $Spin(7)$ holonomy metrics. In the simplest case, our result can be viewed as an extension of the Gibbons-Hawking ansatz.

description: Graphene demonstrates many exceptional properties that makes it a promising candidate in various applications, such as electronics, energy-related and biomedical. However, there are still many challenges remaining to realize graphene's fullest extent possible. In recent years, graphene functionalization has become the primary driving force for enhancing the performance of graphene-based devices. Among the various approaches of graphene functionalization, molecular adsorption has received growing attention due to its low cost, flexibility and effectiveness in controlling the properties of graphene. Here, density functional calculations are employed to investigate three specific graphene-molecule systems used for electronic, catalytic and sensing applications, focusing on the interplay between graphene and adsorbed molecules. Major challenges facing functionalized graphene are thoroughly examined and discussed, such as identifying novel adsorbates, refining surface conditions, and strengthening electronic signals arising from graphene-molecule interactions. The work presented in this thesis aims to provide critical theoretical insights into the electronic structure of graphene modified by molecular adsorption, and help the design and development of future graphene-based devices.

description: L’attaque des chlorures et la carbonatation sont les mécanismes prédominants régissant la durée de vie des structures en béton armé. Afin d’évaluer la durée de vie de ces structures contre la pénétration du dioxyde de carbone, des ions chlorures et de l’humidité, un modèle physico-chimique est proposé. Le modèle est développé en prenant en compte le transfert multi-espèces d’ions agressifs, y compris la diffusion, la migration, l’activité chimique des ions, l’interaction entre les ions chlorures et la pâte cimentaire et la convection en fonction des conditions d’exposition. L’évolution de la microstructure due aux réactions de précipitation et de dissolution pendant le processus de carbonatation est pris en compte en suivant l’évolution de la porosité. Plusieurs applications du modèle sont développées pour prédire la durée de vie d’un béton poreux soumis à un environnement agressif contenant d’ions chlorures, du dioxyde de carbone et d’humidité. Les effets de la carbonatation et de la convection sur l’estimation du béton d’enrobage sont soulignés et analysés. Ensuite, le modèle numérique est comparé à un ensemble de résultats expérimentaux.

description: The Laplacian flow is a geometric flow introduced by Bryant as a way for finding torsion free $G_2$-structures. If the flow is $S^1$-invariant then it descends to a flow of $SU(3)$-structures on a $6$-manifold. In this article we derive expressions for these evolution equations. In our search for examples we discover the first inhomogeneous shrinking solitons, which are also gradient. We also show that any compact non-torsion free soliton admits no infinitesimal symmetry.

description: We present higher-order multiplicity results for 60 solar-type spectroscopic binaries based on 0.75 micron imaging data taken by the Robotic Adaptive Optics system (Robo-AO) at the Kitt Peak 2.1m telescope. Our contrast curves show sensitivity of up to ~5 mag at ~1 arcsecond separation. We find tertiary companions for 62% of our binaries overall, but find this fraction is a strong function of the inner binary orbital period; it ranges from ~47% for P_{binary} > 30 days to as high as ~90% for P_{binary} <= 5 days. We similarly find increasing tertiary companion frequency for shorter period binaries in a secondary sample of Kepler eclipsing binaries observed by Robo-AO. Using Gaia distances, we estimate an upper limit orbital period for each tertiary companion and compare the tertiary-to-binary period ratios for systems in the field versus those in star-forming regions. Taken all together, these results provide further evidence for angular momentum transfer from three-body interactions, resulting in tight binaries with tertiaries that widen from pre-main-sequence to field ages.

description: We develop the representation theory of shifted quantum affine algebras $\mathcal{U}_q^μ(\hat{\mathfrak{g}})$ and of their truncations which appeared in the study of quantized K-theoretic Coulomb branches of 3d $N = 4$ SUSY quiver gauge theories. Our approach is based on novel techniques, which are new in the cases of shifted Yangians or ordinary quantum affine algebras as well : realization in terms of asymptotical subalgebras of the quantum affine algebra $\mathcal{U}_q(\hat{\mathfrak{g}})$, induction and restriction functors to the category $\mathcal{O}$ of representations of the Borel subalgebra $\mathcal{U}_q(\hat{\mathfrak{b}})$ of $\mathcal{U}_q(\hat{\mathfrak{g}})$, relations between truncations and Baxter polynomiality in quantum integrable models, parametrization of simple modules via Langlands dual interpolation. We first introduce the category $\mathcal{O}_μ$ of representations of $\mathcal{U}_q^μ(\hat{\mathfrak{g}})$ and we classify its simple objects. Then we establish the existence of fusion products and we get a ring structure on the sum of the Grothendieck groups $K_0(\mathcal{O}_μ)$. We classify simple finite-dimensional representations of $\mathcal{U}_q^μ(\hat{\mathfrak{g}})$ and we obtain a cluster algebra structure on the Grothendieck ring of finite-dimensional representations. We prove a truncation has only a finite number of simple representations and we introduce a related partial ordering on simple modules. Eventually, we state a conjecture on the parametrization of simple modules of a non simply-laced truncation in terms of the Langlands dual Lie algebra. We have several evidences, including a general result for simple finite-dimensional representations.

A novel failure criterion for matrix dominant failure within fibre reinforced polymer composites
Creators: name: Chowdhury, Nayeem Tawqir
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis investigates the failure behaviour of the matrix constituent found in composite materials. The investigation involves performing several experiments under both biaxial and uniaxial loading and subsequent finite element analyses of the experiment results. The results were used to establish a suitable matrix failure criterion. The need to understand matrix failure in advanced composites is of particular importance to the aerospace industry, where these materials are used in structural components which are optimised to be light weight yet strong. Experiments under biaxial tension required the designing of a suitable biaxial test fixture and a specimen design which is able to successfully demonstrate failure free of stress concentrators. In order to prevent any premature failure due to load interactions between two loading axes, removal of the cut-out corners found in cruciform specimens was very important. Reducing the central gauge region of the specimen was found to be the best way to induce a higher stress state within a predefined region of the specimen. The specimen design proposed focussed on testing material systems which are anisotropic in behaviour yet fail in the transverse direction. The biaxial tension experiments on a carbon-epoxy composite (EP 280 Prepreg) was accompanied with biaxial tension experiments on a neat resin epoxy material (EP 280 neat resin) and uniaxial off-axis tension experiments on the same material. Despite the differences in the experiments, the failure observed across them was predominantly the same where matrix tensile failure occurred. A fourth set of experiments were performed on uniaxial off-axis compression specimens to induce a compressive matrix failure mode. Over these four sets of experiments, the matrix failure envelope was able to be fully defined. Continuum modelling techniques were implemented through the use of representative volume elements to separately analyse the stress-strain states on the fibre and the matrix. The separation technique allowed the failure stress-strain states on the matrix to be examined in detail from which a failure criterion was established. Matrix failure was found to exhibit two modes of failure induced by the type of deformation (dilatational and distortional). The established failure criterion was similar to that proposed by Onset theory where a truncated region defined by the First Stress/Strain Invariant best captured matrix tensile failure (dilatational), whilst the Drucker-Prager failure criterion best described compressive and shear modes of failure (distortional). The study was concluded through a set of experiments performed under four-point bending which validated the hybrid failure criterion to accurately predict matrix failure in composites.

description: We compute the entanglement entropy in a two dimensional conformal field theory at finite size and finite temperature in the large central charge limit via the replica trick. We first generalize the known monodromy method for the calculation of conformal blocks on the plane to the torus. Then, we derive a monodromy method for the zero-point conformal blocks of the replica partition function. We explain the differences between the two monodromy methods before applying them to the calculation of the entanglement entropy. We find that the contribution of the vacuum exchange dominates the entanglement entropy for a large class of CFTs, leading to universal results in agreement with holographic predictions from the RT formula. Moreover, we determine in which regime the replica partition function agrees with a correlation function of local twist operators on the torus.

description: Empirical sciences and in particular psychology suffer a methodological crisis due to the non-reproducibility of results, and in rare cases, questionable research practices. Pre-registered studies and the publication of raw data sets have emerged as effective countermeasures. However, this approach represents only a conceptual procedure and may in some cases exacerbate privacy issues associated with data publications. We establish a novel, privacy-enhanced workflow for pre-registered studies. We also introduce PeQES, a corresponding platform that technically enforces the appropriate execution while at the same time protecting the participants' data from unauthorized use or data repurposing. Our PeQES prototype proves the overall feasibility of our privacy-enhanced workflow while introducing only a negligible performance overhead for data acquisition and data analysis of an actual study. Using trusted computing mechanisms, PeQES is the first platform to enable privacy-enhanced studies, to ensure the integrity of study protocols, and to safeguard the confidentiality of participants' data at the same time.

description: We study the category O of representations over a shifted Yangian. This category has a tensor product structure and contains distinguished modules, the positive prefundamental modules and the negative prefundamental modules. Motivated by the representation theory of the Borel subalgebra of a quantum affine algebra and by the relevance of quantum integrable systems in this context, we prove that tensor products of prefundamental modules with irreducible modules are either cyclic or co-cyclic. This implies the existence and uniqueness of morphisms, the R-matrices, for such tensor products. We prove the R-matrices are polynomial in the spectral parameter, and we establish functional relations for the R-matrices. As applications, we prove the Jordan--Hölder property in the category O. We also obtain a proof, uniform for any finite type, that any irreducible module factorizes through a truncated shifted Yangian.

description: Mangrove forest is a complex ecology and it refers to a group of tropical trees and shrubs that grows in the intertidal zone. It contains various microorganisms including rare actinobacteria that can produce bioactive compounds with interesting bioactivities. The goals of this research were to describe the taxonomic status of novel rare actinobacteria and to screen their bioactivity for antibacterial, neuroprotective and cytotoxic properties. Three rare actinobacteria strains namely MUSC 115T, MUSC 117T and MUSC 78T were successfully isolated from mangrove sediments, collected from Tanjung Lumpur river, Peninsular Malaysia. Characterization using polyphasic approach showed that strains MUSC 115T and MUSC 117T have many differences with other species of the genus Microbacterium and Sinomonas, respectively. Combined phylogenetic, genotypic, chemotaxonomic, and phenotypic analyses proved that strain MUSC 115T represent a novel species, Microbacterium mangrovi sp. nov., while strain MUSC 117T represent a novel species namely Sinomonas humi sp. nov. Meanwhile, strain MUSC 78T was also characterized by polyphasic approach and results showed that it was different from other genera of the family Intrasporangiaceae. Thus, it can be described as a novel genus, Monashia gen. nov., the type species of which is Monashia flava sp. nov. The successfully characterization of the novel strains have led to the screening of bioactivities on antibacterial, neuroprotective and anticancer properties. The crude extract from all novel strains were prepared using solvent extraction method. Antibacterial screening of the crude extracts demonstrated inhibitory effects against 10 bacteria tested including Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) ATCC 43300, ATCC 70069, ATCC 33591, ATCC BAA-44, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus NBRC 13006, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 31098, Pseudomonas aeruginosa NBRC 112582, Salmonella typhi ATCC 19430, Vibrio parahaemolyticus VP103, and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922. On the other hand, the neuroprotective studies revealed that Microbacterium mangrovi MUSC 115T extract exhibited significant neuroprotective activity in oxidative stress and dementia model. Meanwhile, the extract of strain Monashia flava MUSC 78T was able to protect the SHSY5Y neuronal cells in hypoxia model. Furthermore, the extracts of Microbacterium mangrovi MUSC 115T and Monashia flava MUSC 78T exhibited anticancer effect against Ca Ski cell line. Based on the findings of this study, mangrove environment is a potentially rich source for the discovery of novel rare actinobacteria with interesting bioactivities for the new drugs development.

description: For many inverse parameter problems for partial differential equations in which the domain contains only well-separated objects, an asymptotic solution to the forward problem involving 'polarization tensors' exists. These are functions of the size and material contrast of inclusions, thereby describing the saturation component of the non-linearity. As such, these asymptotic expansions can allow fast and stable reconstruction of small isolated objects. In this paper, we show how such an asymptotic series can be applied to non-linear least-squares reconstruction problems, by deriving an approximate diagonal Hessian matrix for the data misfit term.
 Often, the Hessian matrix can play a vital role in dealing with the non-linearity, generating good update directions which accelerate the solution towards a global minimum which may lie in a long curved valley, but computational cost can make direct calculation infeasible. Since the polarization tensor approximation assumes sufficient separation between inclusions, our approximate Hessian does not account for non-linearity in the form of lack of superposition in the inverse problem. It does however account for the non-linear saturation of the change in the data with increasing material contrast. We therefore propose to use it as an initial Hessian for quasi-Newton schemes.
 This is demonstrated for the case of electrical impedance tomography in numerical experimentation, but could be applied to any other problem which has an equivalent asymptotic expansion. We present numerical experimentation into the accuracy and reconstruction performance of the approximate Hessian, providing a proof of principle of the reconstruction scheme.

description: ABSTRACT This research looks at sound as a mode of knowledge transference. Sound here operates as a sensorial conduit for multiple senses of time and place and is seen as a carrier of past and future and as an amplifier of collective mythologies and complexities. This research takes the methodology of the soundsystem culture organised around the speaker stack and looks in particular at the philosophical writings on the cultural importance of sound within non-western cultural contexts as put forth by Louis Chude-Sokei and Julian Henriques. The speaker stack is an adaptable object that functions both inside and outside the institution, and performs simultaneously as an amplifier and translator within each context. My work Other Planes of Here consists of the placement and use of a custom built speaker stack within a cycle of unrelated and indeed culturally differentiated events around Melbourne. By conflating this existing understanding of sound culture within the context of the art world, the project activates a heterogeneous field of networks and disconnections. This investigation engages with discourses around ethics and aesthetics within the field of participatory art and with the voice of ambivalence within the institution. It employs types of slippage as a tactic and as such it works within the theoretical and the philosophical realm, as well as the autobiographical, from the perspective of a migrant woman artist. Feminism is acknowledged within the framework of this project, as is the engagement with postcolonial theory via Gayatari Spivak and beyond through Denise Ferreira da Silva.

description: We construct explicit examples of quaternion-Kähler and hypercomplex structures on bundles over hyperKähler manifolds. We study the infinitesimal symmetries of these examples and the associated Galicki-Lawson quaternion-Kähler moment map. By performing the QK reduction we produce several explicit QK metrics. Moreover we are led to a new proof of a hyperKähler/quaternion-Kähler type correspondence. We also give examples of other Einstein metrics and balanced Hermitian structures on these bundles.

description: Generating natural speech with a diverse and smooth prosody pattern is a challenging task. Although random sampling with phone-level prosody distribution has been investigated to generate different prosody patterns, the diversity of the generated speech is still very limited and far from what can be achieved by humans. This is largely due to the use of uni-modal distribution, such as single Gaussian, in the prior works of phone-level prosody modelling. In this work, we propose a novel approach that models phone-level prosodies with a GMM-based mixture density network(MDN) and then extend it for multi-speaker TTS using speaker adaptation transforms of Gaussian means and variances. Furthermore, we show that we can clone the prosodies from a reference speech by sampling prosodies from the Gaussian components that produce the reference prosodies. Our experiments on LJSpeech and LibriTTS dataset show that the proposed method with GMM-based MDN not only achieves significantly better diversity than using a single Gaussian in both single-speaker and multi-speaker TTS, but also provides better naturalness. The prosody cloning experiments demonstrate that the prosody similarity of the proposed method with GMM-based MDN is comparable to recent proposed fine-grained VAE while the target speaker similarity is better.

description: Le développement des résines époxydiques a élargi la portée du collage dans l'industrie du génie civil, mais l'utilisation de cette technologie dans les travaux de construction est encore loin d'être -répandue. Il est nécessaire de faire davantage d'efforts pour comprendre ces matériaux, pour tirer parti de leurs propriétés mécaniques exceptionnelles, et donc pour les utiliser pour des applications structurelles. Dans ce contexte, cette présente étude fournit des informations sur la durabilité des assemblages FRP (polymère renforcé de fibres) / béton collés. Les effets de l'humidité et de la température sur l’adhésif sous forme massive et sur l’assemblage structural de type béton/pultrudé GFRP (polymère renforcé de fibres de verre) ont été étudiés par la réalisation d’essais de vieillissement accélérés. Les caractérisations mécaniques ont été réalisées sur des échantillons de contrôle ainsi que sur des échantillons exposés, afin d'évaluer la dégradation et l'endommagement des propriétés des joints d’adhésif engendrés par le vieillissement accéléré. De plus, la Méthode des Eléments Finis (MEF) a été utilisée pour la simulation, la prévision de résistance et l'analyse de ruine des structures collées non vieillies. Des éléments d’interface ont été utilisés pour l’analyse des contraintes et des déplacements dans les joints collés.

description: The integrated positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) scanner facilitates the simultaneous acquisition of metabolic information via PET and morphological information with high soft-tissue contrast using MRI. Although PET/MRI facilitates the capture of high-accuracy fusion images, its major drawback can be attributed to the difficulty encountered when performing attenuation correction, which is necessary for quantitative PET evaluation. The combined PET/MRI scanning requires the generation of attenuation-correction maps from MRI owing to no direct relationship between the gamma-ray attenuation information and MRIs. While MRI-based bone-tissue segmentation can be readily performed for the head and pelvis regions, the realization of accurate bone segmentation via chest CT generation remains a challenging task. This can be attributed to the respiratory and cardiac motions occurring in the chest as well as its anatomically complicated structure and relatively thin bone cortex. This paper presents a means to minimise the anatomical structural changes without human annotation by adding structural constraints using a modality-independent neighbourhood descriptor (MIND) to a generative adversarial network (GAN) that can transform unpaired images. The results obtained in this study revealed the proposed U-GAT-IT + MIND approach to outperform all other competing approaches. The findings of this study hint towards possibility of synthesising clinically acceptable CT images from chest MRI without human annotation, thereby minimising the changes in the anatomical structure.

description: Two-dimensional material such as graphene is reported to be outstanding example with remarkable properties, including surprisingly high carrier mobility, extraordinary thermal conductivity and great optical transmittance. However, the limitation of graphene urge us focus on ultrathin layered semiconductors made by transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) such as WS₂ and WSe₂. It possesses outstanding optical and optoelectronics properties. Apart from making pure single crystal, manufacturing of lateral heterostructure with two different TMDC semiconductors is another promising way to exploring the full potential of these layered materials. This thesis report concludes the development history of two dimensional materials from the discovery of graphene, the basic knowledge gap of TMDC to the research of TMDC heterostructure. After that, in this report, a noval single-step chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method for epitaxial growth and selective substitution of lateral WSe₂/WS₂ heterostructures with its growth mechanism are presented. For characterization of resulting heterostructure, Raman, photoluminescence mapping and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were obtained to prove that it is atomically thin lateral heterostructure. Furthermore, detailed Photoluminence (PL) characterisation and Scanning photoelectron microscopy (SPEM) mapping are utilized to study on bonding energy which is direct related to the band shifting and doping module. Electrical characterisation on fabricated device is then report to illustrate the performance of this heterostructure flake. Those studies aims at providing basis of understanding of new single-step synthesis method and the variety of properties of formed heterostructure.

description: We review the correspondence between integrable sigma models with complex homogeneous target spaces and chiral bosonic (and possibly mixed bosonic/fermionic) Gross-Neveu models. Mathematically, the latter are models with quiver variety phase spaces, which reduce to the more conventional sigma models in special cases. We discuss the geometry of the models, as well as their trigonometric and elliptic deformations, Ricci flow and the inclusion of fermions.

description: The EW-$ν_R$ model was constructed in order to provide a seesaw scenario operating at the Electroweak scale $Λ_{EW} \sim 246$ GeV, keeping the same SM gauge structure. In this model, right-handed neutrinos are non-sterile and have masses of the order of $Λ_{EW}$. They can be searched for at the LHC along with heavy mirror quarks and leptons, the lightest of which have large decay lengths. The seesaw mechanism requires the existence of a complex scalar which is singlet under the SM gauge group. The imaginary part of this complex scalar denoted by $A^{0}_s$ is proposed to be the sub-MeV dark matter candidate in this manuscript. We find that the sub-MeV scalar can serve as a viable non-thermal feebly interacting massive particle (FIMP)-DM candidate. This $A_s^0$ can be a naturally light sub-MeV DM candidate due to its nature as a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone (PNG) boson in the model. We show that the well-studied freeze out mechanism falls short in this particular framework producing DM overabundance. We identify that the freeze in mechanism produce the correct order of relic density for the sub-MeV DM candidate satisfying all applicable constraints. We then discuss the DM parameter space allowed by the current bounds from the direct and indirect searches for this sub-MeV DM. This model has a very rich scalar sector, consistent with various experimental constraints, predicts a $\sim 125$ GeV scalar with the SM Higgs characteristics satisfying the current LHC Higgs boson data.
