description: In this paper, an efficient implementation for a recognition system based on the original HMAX model of the visual cortex is proposed. Various optimizations targeted to increase accuracy at the so-called layers S1, C1, and S2 of the HMAX model are proposed. At layer S1, all unimportant information such as illumination and expression variations are eliminated from the images. Each image is then convolved with 64 separable Gabor filters in the spatial domain. At layer C1, the minimum scales values are exploited to be embedded into the maximum ones using the additive embedding space. At layer S2, the prototypes are generated in a more efficient way using Partitioning Around Medoid (PAM) clustering algorithm. The impact of these optimizations in terms of accuracy and computational complexity was evaluated on the Caltech101 database, and compared with the baseline performance using support vector machine (SVM) and nearest neighbor (NN) classifiers. The results show that our model provides significant improvement in accuracy at the S1 layer by more than 10% where the computational complexity is also reduced. The accuracy is slightly increased for both approximations at the C1 and S2 layers.

description: We analyze the linear stability of the edge of a thin liquid metal layer subject to a transverse high-frequency AC magnetic field. The layer is treated as a perfectly conducting liquid sheet that allows us to solve the problem analytically for both a semi-infinite geometry with a straight edge and a thin disk of finite radius. It is shown that the long-wave perturbations of a straight edge are monotonically unstable when the wave number exceeds some critical value $k_c,$ which is determined by the surface tension and the linear density of the electromagnetic force acting on the edge. The higher the density of electromagnetic force, the shorter the critical wavelength. The perturbations with wavelength shorter than the critical are stabilized by the surface tension, whereas the growth rate of long wave perturbations reduces as $\sim k$ for wave numbers $k\to 0$. Thus, there is the fastest growing perturbation with the wave number $k_\max=2/3 k_c$. By applying the general approach developed for the semi-infinite sheet, we find that a circular disk becomes linearly unstable with respect to exponentially growing perturbation with the azimuthal wave number $m=2$ when the magnetic Bond number exceeds $Bm_c=3π$. The instability characteristics agree well with the experimental data.

description: We investigate the evolution of the dark matter density profiles of the most massive galaxy clusters in the Universe. Using a `zoom-in' procedure on a large suite of cosmological simulations of total comoving volume of $3\,(h^{-1}\,\rm Gpc)^3$, we study the 25 most massive clusters in four redshift slices from $z\sim 1$ to the present. The minimum mass is $M_{500} > 5.5 \times 10^{14}$ M$_{\odot}$ at $z=1$. Each system has more than two million particles within $r_{500}$. Once scaled to the critical density at each redshift, the dark matter profiles within $r_{500}$ are strikingly similar from $z\sim1$ to the present day, exhibiting a low dispersion of 0.15 dex, and showing little evolution with redshift in the radial logarithmic slope and scatter. They have the running power law shape typical of the NFW-type profiles, and their inner structure, resolved to $3.8\,h^{-1}$ comoving kpc at $z=1$, shows no signs of converging to an asymptotic slope. Our results suggest that this type of profile is already in place at $z>1$ in the highest-mass haloes in the Universe, and that it remains exceptionally robust to merging activity.

Larger. Membrane whitish, subtransparent (Figure 1 A). Apex of sensory process of paramere truncate, trapezoidally or rectangularly rounded (Figure 3 A, 3 B). Apex of conjunctival ventral lobe widened, rhomboid, with lateral denticles clearly visible in ventral view; posterior margin of lobe dorsal wall clearly visible in ventral view at extreme apex (Figure 6 A –6 C). Length of denticle on spicule basal plate at dorsolateral lobes greater relative to length of spicule: distance from apex of denticle to apex of spicule less than length of denticle (Figure 7 A).
Measurements
Body 6.85–8.60 in length, 4.10–5.40 in width; pronotum 3.75–4.95 in width; head 1.65–1.92 in width; ocular index 2.98–3.66; length of antennal segments I–V: 0.35–0.42: 0.53–0.78: 0.64–0.94: 0.91–1.18: 1.01–1.18.
Distribution
Southern (except Portugal), Western (except Belgium and the Netherlands), Eastern (except Belarus and Russia), and Northern (probably Lithuania) Europe. The subspecies was recorded also from Asian Turkey, Lebanon, Iran, Israel, Morocco and also doubtingly from Cyprus, Syria, Algeria and Egypt (Lis 2006). Apparently, the subspecies is absent in North Africa, and its distribution in Asia Minor and the Near East is very questionable and needs to be clarified. For example, modern records of C. dubius for Turkey are based on the identification of specimens without studying the genitalia; this follows from the fact that special notes about studying the genitalia are given only for Legnotus picipes (Fallén, 1807) (Yazici et al. 2015) and the species of Odontoscelis Laporte, 1833 and Eurygaster Laporte, 1833 (Fent & Aktaç 2009).

description: Camera sensors can only capture a limited range of luminance simultaneously, and in order to create high dynamic range (HDR) images a set of different exposures are typically combined. In this paper we address the problem of predicting information that have been lost in saturated image areas, in order to enable HDR reconstruction from a single exposure. We show that this problem is well-suited for deep learning algorithms, and propose a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) that is specifically designed taking into account the challenges in predicting HDR values. To train the CNN we gather a large dataset of HDR images, which we augment by simulating sensor saturation for a range of cameras. To further boost robustness, we pre-train the CNN on a simulated HDR dataset created from a subset of the MIT Places database. We demonstrate that our approach can reconstruct high-resolution visually convincing HDR results in a wide range of situations, and that it generalizes well to reconstruction of images captured with arbitrary and low-end cameras that use unknown camera response functions and post-processing. Furthermore, we compare to existing methods for HDR expansion, and show high quality results also for image based lighting. Finally, we evaluate the results in a subjective experiment performed on an HDR display. This shows that the reconstructed HDR images are visually convincing, with large improvements as compared to existing methods.

Growing a Culture of Service Management at NeSI
Creators: name: Rae, Georgina
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Background
Our researchers and research organisations now come from a more diverse range of domains, bringing with them different needs and service level expectations, making clear processes and performance standards a necessity. A full IT Service Management (ITSM) implementation is both beyond NeSI's resources and likely beyond what is needed by the research sector. Colleagues from the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) faced similar challenges and adopted FitSM (a light weight Service Management framework) to  build consistent service management standards across their EU partners. Taking inspiration from this approach, NeSI is now building our own culture of Service Management.

Actions
We are taking an Agile, incremental approach to this implementation, particularly given the significant 'people' aspect of the change for how we work at NeSI. Some steps in this include: base-lining maturity against desired state; allocating roles; deliberate change management; assessing whether tools are fit-for-purpose; and capturing and managing our processes.

Results
Benefits to date include having a framework around which to engage our institutional stakeholders; our team starting to understand the value of the change, collaboratively documenting  and embedding what were once our more 'heroic' processes; and management of services being consolidated into one tool -  Jira Service Management.

Conclusions
Change is hard at the best of times and implementing something that requires more process and rigour is never going to be an easy transition. However, by taking an agile perspective we are giving the team the time and customer-driven motivations to genuinely improve how we manage our services.

description: The problem of a travelling wave over an arbitrary quasi-flat bathymetry in a semi infinite channel is studied in the shallow-water formulation. It is shown how the streamfunction can be cast, in the vicinity of an elliptic equilibrium for the fluid flow, in the form of a nearly-integrable non-autonomous Hamiltonian with aperiodic time dependence. The proofs use the tools of perturbation theory in the real-analytic setting. The obtained Hamiltonian provides a natural example in the context of the aperiodically time-dependent Hamiltonian systems studied in Fortunati and Wiggins (2016). Some key properties of the system at hand, such as the stability, can be addressed as a consequence of this theory.
Ovarian mixed germ cell tumor. A case report

description: Background:

Ovarian mixed germ cell tumors (OMGCT) are rare, comprising 1.7 to 5.3% of all malignant ovarian germ cell tumors. These tumors typically affect adolescent women of reproductive age, presenting as large, solid unilateral masses. This case report details an 8-year-old female from Cabricán, Quetzaltenango, who was diagnosed with a mixed germ cell tumor. Initially evaluated for nausea and vomiting, a palpable mass was detected in her hypogastric region. Imaging and laboratory tests revealed elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), and beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG).

OMGCTs arise from primitive germ cells and account for 25% of all ovarian tumors, though only 5% are malignant. These tumors often manifest as large, rapidly growing masses that may be asymptomatic or present with abdominal distension, pain, or other symptoms. Ultrasound is the first imaging modality used to evaluate them, while CT and MRI provide further evaluation, particularly of tumor extent and complications.

In mixed germ cell tumors, imaging shows large, solid masses with cystic degeneration, and MRI is helpful in detecting necrosis or hemorrhage. Serum markers, particularly AFP and β-hCG, are crucial for diagnosis. Treatment typically involves unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, with more aggressive options, including chemotherapy, considered based on tumor spread and metastasis. Proper diagnosis relies on integrating imaging, serum markers, and histopathological findings.

Interferometric view of the circumstellar envelopes of northern FU Orionis-type stars

description: FU Orionis-type objects are young, low-mass stars with large outbursts in visible light that last for several years or decades. They are thought to represent an evolutionary phase during the life of every young star when accretion from the circumstellar disk is enhanced during recurring time periods. These outbursts are able to rapidly build up the star while affecting the circumstellar disk and thus the ongoing or future planet formation. In many models infall from a circumstellar envelope seems to be necessary to trigger the outbursts. We observed the J=1$-$0 rotational transition of $^{13}$CO and C$^{18}$O towards eight northern FU Orionis-type stars (V1057 Cyg, V1515 Cyg, V2492 Cyg, V2493 Cyg, V1735 Cyg, V733 Cep, RNO 1B and RNO 1C) and derive temperatures and envelope masses and discuss the morphology and kinematics of the circumstellar material. We detected extended CO emission associated with all our targets. Smaller scale CO clumps were found to be associated with five objects with radii of 2000$-$5000 AU and masses of 0.02$-$0.5 $M_{\odot}$; these are clearly heated by the central stars. Three of these envelopes are also strongly detected in the 2.7 mm continuum. No central CO clumps were detected around V733 Cep and V710 Cas but there are many other clumps in their environments. Traces of outflow activity were observed towards V1735 Cyg, V733 Cep and V710 Cas. The diversity of the observed envelopes enables us to set up an evolutionary sequence between the objects. We find their evolutionary state to range from early, embedded Class I stage to late, Class II-type objects with very low-mass circumstellar material. The results reinforce the idea of FU Orionis-type stars as representatives of a transitory stage between embedded Class I young stellar objects and classical T-Tauri stars.

description: Since the discovery of Sirius-B about 130 yr ago, there have been several claims of a possible second companion around the brightest star Sirius-A. Such a companion could, in particular, be responsible of the suspected colour change of the star, now strongly suggested from two independent historical sources. We reported here on a new observation of the sky region around Sirius, to search for such a companion, using a coronographic device. By comparison of the new stellar field with a similar image obtained by us $\sim$13 yr ago and using the Sirius proper motion, we are able to eliminate the most obvious companion candidates down to a magnitude m$_v$$\sim$17 in a field from 30 arcsec to 2.5 arcmin of the central star. None of the visible stars appears consistent in magnitude and colours with what expected from current theoretical models and observations of low-mass stars. From the study of the same field, it is also shown that the Sirius companion, consistently reported by observers during the years 1920-1930, is most probably an unrelated m$_g$$\simeq$12 background star, now $\sim$ 1 arcmin away but located precisely on the Sirius proper motion trajectory. The closest apparent conjunction with Sirius was realized in 1937 with a minimum angular distance of 6.9 arcsec, of the same order than the Sirius A-B binary separation. The reported observations do not eliminate the possibility of a second companion but now confined the search to the more central 30 arcsec region around Sirius. In particular, the existence of a long period companion cannot definitively be ruled out since the arbitrary orientation of the orbit can yield an observed projected position on sky inside this more central region.

description: Stellar clusters are important for astrophysics in many ways, for instance as optimal tracers of the Galactic populations to which they belong or as one of the best test bench for stellar evolutionary models. Gaia DR1, with TGAS, is just skimming the wealth of exquisite information we are expecting from the more advanced catalogues, but already offers good opportunities and indicates the vast potentialities. Gaia results can be efficiently complemented by ground-based data, in particular by large spectroscopic and photometric surveys. Examples of some scientific results of the Gaia-ESO survey are presented, as a teaser for what will be possible once advanced Gaia releases and ground-based data will be combined.

Based on preliminary data from an ongoing ambulatory assessment study in adolescents, we will examine to what extent adolescents differ in the way their daytime affect fluctuates as a function of objectively measured sleep patterns of the previous night (i.e., total sleep time, sleep midpoint, and sleep regularity). Furthermore, this study will test, if within-person sleep-affect couplings are predictive for retrospective self-reports of internalizing symptoms.

Making an Agricultural Research Dataset FAIR: A case study of the Australian Drought Monitor Dataset
Creators: name: Gacenga, Francis
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Agricultural research data have traditionally been difficult to publicly access and share due in part to ownership, commercial interest, multiparty contracts between researchers, research organisations and funding bodies, as well as diverse research methods data management practice.

In this presentation we discuss how the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) and CARE data principles are applied to the Australian Drought Monitor dataset, a product developed as part of the Northern Australia Climate Program (NACP), a joint project funded by Meat and Livestock Australia, the Queensland Drought and Climate Adaptation Program and the University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ).

The Drought Monitor was identified by our team as having a useful and useable dataset that was inaccessible to other agricultural or natural hazards researchers. By applying FAIR principles to this product, a database of NetCDF (Network Common Data Form) files and its associated metadata record has been developed for access and use by all interested researchers. We present here a case study of the process on how we applied the FAIR principles to the Australian Drought Monitor dataset and enabled its re-use and re-purposing in the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) funded Agricultural Research Federation (AgReFed) Platform project.
Modelling the Interstellar Medium of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies: Constraining Internal Extinction, Disk Color Gradients, and Intrinsic Rotation Curve Shapes

description: We use a combination of three-dimensional Monte Carlo radiative transfer techniques and multi-wavelength (BRHK,H alpha) imaging data to investigate the nature of the interstellar medium (ISM) in the edge-on, low surface brightness (LSB) galaxy UGC7321. Using realistic models that incorporate multiple scattering effects and clumping of the stars and the interstellar material, we explore the distribution and opacity of the interstellar material (gas+dust), and its effects on the observed stellar disk luminosity profiles, color gradients, and rotation curve shape. We find that UGC7321 contains a small but non-negligible dusty component to its ISM, yielding a B-band optical depth tau_e,B~4.0 from disk edge to center. A significant fraction (~50+/-10%) of the interstellar material in the innermost regions of UGC7321 appears to be contained in a clumpy medium, indicating that LSB galaxies can support a modest, multi-phase ISM structure. In spite of the clear presence of dust, we conclude that the large radial optical color gradients observed in UGC7321 and other similar LSB spiral galaxies cannot be accounted for by dust and must result primarily from significant stellar population and/or metallicity gradients. We show that realistic optical depth effects will have little impact on the observed rotation curves of edge-on disk galaxies and cannot explain the linear, slowly rising rotation curves seen in some edge-on LSB spirals. Projection effects create a far larger uncertainty in recovering the true underlying rotation curve shape of galaxies viewed at inclinations i>85 degrees.

description: The anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism compliance obligations are becoming increasingly complex for large banks. To meet these obligations, these banks are increasingly relying on regulatory compliance technologies, also known as”regtech”. The use of AI technologies enhances the ability of regtech to perform complex tasks such as rating customer risk and identifying potential suspicious transactions. With the adoption of new risk assessment and risk mitigation standards for proliferation financing (PF) of weapons of mass destruction, there is a greater need for appropriate and improved regtech. This paper provides an overview of the development of these standards, their relationship with AML/CFT standards, and the common areas where regtech can be applied to meet AML/CFT obligations. It also highlights some of the legal risks associated with relying on regtech in this space. Regulators, compliance officers, and technologists must navigate these risks to ensure that appropriately-designed regtech can be used to increase global financial integrity and security.

description: Motivated by the observational evidence of inhomogeneous clouds in exoplanetary atmospheres, we investigate how proposed simple cloud distributions can affect atmospheric circulations and infrared emission. We simulated temperatures and winds for the hot Jupiter Kepler-7b using a three-dimensional atmospheric circulation model that included a simplified aerosol radiative transfer model. We prescribed fixed cloud distributions and scattering properties based on results previously inferred from Kepler-7b optical phase curves, including inhomogeneous aerosols centered along the western terminator and hypothetical cases in which aerosols additionally extended across much of the planet's night side. In all cases, a strong jet capable of advecting aerosols from a cooler nightside to dayside was found to persist, but only at the equator. Colder temperatures at mid- and polar-latitudes might permit aerosol to form on the dayside without the need for advection. By altering the deposition and redistribution of heat, aerosols along the western terminator produced an asymmetric heating that effectively shifts the hottest spot further east of the sub-stellar point than expected for a uniform distribution. The addition of opaque high clouds on the nightside can partly mitigate this enhanced shift by retaining heat that contributes to warming west of the hotspot. These expected differences in infrared phase curves could place constraints on proposed cloud distributions and their infrared opacities for brighter hot Jupiters.

description: In an attempt to select stars that can host planets with characteristics similar to our own, we selected seven solar-type stars known to host planets in the habitable zone and for which spectroscopic stellar parameters are available. For these stars we estimated 'empirical' abundances of O, C, Mg and Si, which in turn we used to derive the iron and water mass fraction of the planet building blocks with the use of the model presented in Santos et al. (2015). Our results show that if rocky planets orbit these stars they might have significantly different compositions between themselves and different from that of our Earth. However, for a meaningful comparison between the compositional properties of exoplanets in the habitable zone and our own planet, a far more sophisticated analysis (e.g. Dorn et al., 2017) of a large number of systems with precise mass and radius of planets, and accurate chemical abundances of the host stars. The work presented here is merely the first humble step in this direction.

Proper Field Quantization in Black Hole Spacetimes

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

description: Canonical quantization of local field theories is classical black hole spacetimes with a single horizon leads to a particle number density with a thermal distribution in equilibrium at the Hawking temperature. A complete treatment including non-local quantum gravity effects has shown however that the full "thermal vacuum" of the theory is the false vacuum. In this work we find the true vacuum consistent with the complete semiclassical analysis of quantum black holes. The theory is described by a "microcanonical" quantum field theory with fixed energy E = M, the mass of the black hole. Considerations making use of the microcanonical density matrix as well as the idempotency condition show that particles in black hole backgrounds are described by pure states, unlike the canonical formulation.

Using ARDC Nectar VMs, Jupyter Hub and GitHub to Deploy Agricultural Modelling Applications on the AgReFed Platform
Creators: name: Gacenga, Francis
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: In this half-day workshop participants will learn how to develop and use Jupyter Notebooks and Virtual Machines to run scientific workflows. We will demonstrate data integration workflow for Agricultural applications in Australia.

The Agricultural Modelling notebooks here were developed for three applications presented in 3 separate user case notebooks:

1. Sowing date of wheat crop across the wheatbelt to achieve the best profit
2. Using seasonal climate forecast to support when to sow wheat
3. Irrigation scheduling of sugarcane to achieve the best profit

Participants will have a hands on session through these notebooks in the workshop to learn about how to analyse databases generated by Agricultural Models such as APSIM to support real decision making in agriculture. Other essential skills for agricultural researchers can also be learned such as data accessing using API, static and interactive mapping, and visualisation.

Users of the AgReFed platform will be able to work with a production system simulation of their choice, allowing them to integrate with other data sources for decision analytics. The integration provides a unique capability of the AgReFed platform in crop modelling and simulations - a powerful tool for agricultural research. Users will be guided on how to put crop modelling and simulations into decision making frameworks, informing agricultural management decisions.

description: The macroscopically ordered exciton state (MOES) - a periodic array of beads with spatial order on a macroscopic length - appears in the external exciton rings at low temperatures below a few Kelvin. Here, we report on the experimental study of the interaction in the MOES. The exciton PL energy varies in concert with the intensity along the circumference of the ring, with the largest energy found in the brightest regions. This shows that the MOES is characterized by the repulsive interaction and is not driven by the attractive interaction.

description: The van der Waals atom-surface attraction, scaling as C3 z-3 for z the atom-surface distance, is expected to be valid in the distance range 1-1000 nm, covering 8-10 orders of magnitudes in the interaction energy. A Cs vapour nanocell allows us to analyze the spectroscopic modifications induced by the atom-surface attraction on the 6P3/2->6D5/2 transition. The measured C3 value is found to be independent of the thickness in the explored range 40-130 nm, and is in agreement with an elementary theoretical prediction. We also discuss the specific interest of exploring short distances and large interaction energy.

The construction of children in Australian family law child resistance cases
Creators: name: Roughley, Aleysha Louise
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 480402
subject: Family law

description: A pertinent issue in Australian family law parenting cases is how the court responds to children who resist contact with one of their parents. In the literature, child resistance is usually labelled as parental alienation whereby children are deemed to have been manipulated by one parent to resist contact with the other. Critics have exposed how allegations of parental alienation have been gendered and that constructions of mothers as manipulative and vengeful have undermined crucial aims of the family law regime to protect children from violence. However, in focusing on gender, the literature has failed to consider the constructions of children and how these constructions may silence children and the reasons they are resisting a parent. Accordingly, this thesis draws on interdisciplinary perspectives on the construction of children to undertake a descriptive content analysis of case samples in which children are resisting contact with a parent and allegations of parental alienation are raised. This research was inspired by the High Court’s decision in the 2017 child resistance case, Bondelmonte & Bondelmonte. This case demonstrated the wide discretion Australian family law judges have in giving weight (or not) to a child’s views in determining what is in the best interests of the child. The analysis of case samples in this thesis revealed that, similar to Bondelmonte, the judges had a tendency to ascribe children as vulnerable, which diminished their status as rights-holders. Furthermore, children’s perceived vulnerability impacted on the weight judges gave to children’s views as the more vulnerable the court considered the child the less weight was given to their views. It was evident that this was the more likely outcome if the judge found parental alienation had occurred and if the child was resisting contact with a parent for reasons other than violence. Notably, instances were found where judicial concern about parental alienation appeared to silence the concerns of the child about having contact with a violent parent.

description: We examine the z = 0 group-integrated stellar and cold baryonic (stars + cold atomic gas) mass functions (group SMF and CBMF) and the baryonic collapse efficiency (group cold baryonic to dark matter halo mass ratio) using the RESOLVE and ECO survey galaxy group catalogs and a galform semi-analytic model (SAM) mock catalog. The group SMF and CBMF fall off more steeply at high masses and rise with a shallower low-mass slope than the theoretical halo mass function (HMF). The transition occurs at group-integrated cold baryonic mass M_coldbary ~ 10^11 Msun. The SAM, however, has significantly fewer groups at the transition mass ~ 10^11 Msun and a steeper low-mass slope than the data, suggesting that feedback is too weak in low-mass halos and conversely too strong near the transition mass. Using literature prescriptions to include hot halo gas and potential unobservable galaxy gas produces a group BMF with slope similar to the HMF even below the transition mass. Its normalization is lower by a factor of ~2, in agreement with estimates of warm-hot gas making up the remaining difference. We compute baryonic collapse efficiency with the halo mass calculated two ways, via halo abundance matching (HAM) and via dynamics (extended all the way to three-galaxy groups using stacking). Using HAM, we find that baryonic collapse efficiencies reach a flat maximum for groups across the halo mass range of M_halo ~ 10^11.4-12 Msun, which we label "nascent groups." Using dynamics, however, we find greater scatter in baryonic collapse efficiencies, likely indicating variation in group hot-to-cold baryon ratios. Similarly, we see higher scatter in baryonic collapse efficiencies in the SAM when using its true groups and their group halo masses as opposed to friends-of-friends groups and HAM masses.
