Letter position processing in developing and skilled readers
Creators: name: Kezilas, Yvette
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis aims to systematically investigate the cognitive mechanisms thought to be involved in letter position processing and its development. Chapter 1 describes the theoretical framework upon which this thesis is based, as well as the motivation for the studies reported in chapters 2 through 5. Chapter 2 reports on a study that uses the masked transposed-letter (TL) priming tast to track the development of letter position coding in children learning to read (ages 7-12 years) as well as skilled adult readers. This study extends on previous research by disentangling changes in letter position coding from changes in letter identity. The results suggest that letter position coding becomes increasingly refined as reading develops. Chapter 3 investigates whether changes across development in sensitivity to letter position manipulations - such as those reported in chapter 2 - are driven by lexical development. This hypothesis is tested by investigating whether lexical skills influence masked TL priming effects in university students. The results show no significant relationship between lexical skill and TL priming. The study presented in chapter 4 adopts a novel variant of the Reicher-Wheeler task to further explore whether lexical development drives changes in sensitivity to letter position manipulations. In this task, participants are asked to report the identity of a letter at a specified position within three lexical contexts: anagram words (e.g. form - which has the anagram partner, from), pseudowords (e.g., pilf - plif) and illegal words (e.g., ftkl - fktl). The results suggest that lexical influences on letter position processing increase with development. Chapter 5 investigates the locus of impairment in three children with developmental letter position dyslexia, who were identified based on their excessive letter position errors (e.g., reading slime as "smile"). Participants' performance on various tasks, including reading aloud, lexical decision and same-different decision, is evaluated. The findings suggest that letter position dyslexia is most likely caused by a deficit to the positioning coding mechanism within the orthographic-visual analyser. Chapter 6 brings together the most important findings from the work reported in this thesis, and considers their implications for past and future studies investigating the development of letter position processing.
Should I stay or should I go?: human studies of foraging for reward
Creators: name: Aitchison, Marion A.

description: Foraging behaviour is thought to be ubiquitous across the animal kingdom. Animals must typically integrate complex information to decide how long to exploit a ‘patch’ of resources before leaving to forage for other, more worthwhile, patches. Optimal Foraging Theory predicts how an animal should behave as a function of the travel time between patches, and the resources available within each patch. In humans, foraging theory has been applied in multiple domains – from information foraging accounts of selective attention, to value-based choices in executive function. In this research, I asked whether human foraging for reward adheres to the predictions of Optimal Foraging Theory developed in non-human animals. Participants in this task determined how long to remain in a patch of exponentially decreasing rewards (dwell time), based on a predetermined delay (travel time) prior to each patch. Across four experiments, I showed that: (1) individuals exploit resource-rich patches for longer periods of time when they follow greater versus shorter delays; (2) dwell times are based on the mean travel time of the environment, rather than patch-specific delays; and (3) dwell times are unaffected by the variance or (4) volatility of delays within each environment. Overall, these findings are consistent with the predictions of Optimal Foraging Theory, and indicate the generalisability of this theory to human decisions. This study paves the way for further research into the components of choice behaviour that may be pathologically altered in patients with disorders of motivated decision-making, such as Parkinson’s disease.

description: We have determined the magnetic properties of epitaxially grown Dy islands on graphene/SiC(0001) that are passivated by a gold film (deposited in the ultra-high vacuum growth chamber) for {\it ex-situ} X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). Our sum-rule analysis of the Dy $M_{4,5}$ XMCD spectra at low temperatures ($T=15$ K) as a function of magnetic field assuming Dy$^{3+}$ (spin configuration $^6H_{15/2}$) indicate that the projection of the magnetic moment along an applied magnetic field of 5 T is 3.5(3) $μ_B$. Temperature dependence of the magnetic moment (extracted from the $M_5$ XMCD spectra) shows an onset of a change in magnetic moment at about 175 K in proximity of the transition from paramagnetic to helical magnetic structure at $T_{\rm H} =179$ K in bulk Dy. No feature at the vicinity of the ferromagnetic transition of hcp bulk Dy at $T_{\rm c}$ = 88 K is observed. However, below $\sim$130 K, the inverse magnetic moment (extracted from the XMCD) is linear in temperature as commonly expected from a paramagnetic system suggesting different behavior of Dy nano-island than bulk Dy.

description: Recent years have seen tremendous growth of many online social networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn and MySpace. People connect to each other through these networks forming large social communities providing researchers rich datasets to understand, model and predict social interactions and behaviors. New contacts in these networks can be formed due to an individual's demographic attributes such as age group, gender, geographic location, or due to a network's structural dynamics such as triadic closure and preferential attachment, or a combination of both demographic and structural characteristics. A number of network generation models have been proposed in the last decade to explain the structure, evolution and processes taking place in different types of networks, and notably social networks. Network generation models studied in the literature primarily consider structural properties, and in some cases an individual's demographic profile in the formation of new social contacts. These models do not present a mechanism to combine both structural and demographic characteristics for the formation of new links. In this paper, we propose a new network generation algorithm which incorporates both these characteristics to model network formation. We use different publicly available Facebook datasets as benchmarks to demonstrate the correctness of the proposed network generation model. The proposed model is flexible and thus can generate networks with varying demographic and structural properties.

Disruptive students' relationships with their teachers in the first three years of school

description: Student-teacher relationships comprise a critically important aspect of the elementary classroom. How disruptive students and their teachers experience the emotional quality of those relationships, however, is poorly understood. I examine this emotional quality in three ways. First, I used a drawing task to compare how disruptive and well-behaved students, aged 5-8 years old (N = 51), represented the emotional quality of their relationships with different teachers. Although boys portrayed greater negativity than girls, there was no effect of student behaviour. Disruptive and well-behaved students portrayed equally positive relationships. Second, I used a speech sample task to compare teachers' (N = 47) emotional and relational expressions when speaking about their relationships with those same students. In contrast to the findings for students,there was a significant effect for behaviour. Teachers used a more negative emotional and relational tone when speaking about disruptive students. Lastly, using teachers' speech samples I identified 'complicated' relationships (high in expressed conflict and closeness) with eight disruptive students. Examining the characteristics that might facilitate closeness, despite high conflict, I identify teachers' causal attributions and emotional competence. Together these findings yield strong implications for elementary teachers' relationships with young disruptive students and for the emotional climate of the classroom.

description: It has been known since the early days of quantum mechanics that hyperbolic secant pulses possess the unique property that they can perform cyclic evolution on two-level quantum systems independently of the pulse detuning. More recently, it was realized that they induce detuning- controlled phases without changing state populations. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the properties of hyperbolic secant pulses on superconducting transmon qubits and contrast them with the more commonly used Gaussian and square waves. We further show that these properties can be exploited to implement phase gates, nominally without exiting the computational subspace. This enables us to demonstrate the first microwave-driven Z-gates with a single control parameter, the detuning.

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis examines the resolution of workplace disputes through the use of formal dispute and grievance resolution mechanisms in Australia, including the evolving legal and policy framework. A series of research questions are posed, including whether legally mandated dispute settlement procedures are used effectively, and why organisations have developed their own internal grievance procedures. Previous research on both union and non union dispute resolution procedures is considered, especially from the United States and the United Kingdom, together with relevant developments in both these countries. Relevant findings from related areas of study such as organisational justice and high performance work systems are also discussed. The legislation in Australia governing workplace dispute resolution is analysed, including how this legislation has evolved since the 1990s, reflecting a shift from a highly centralised system based on compulsory conciliation and arbitration to one where the focus is on the enterprise. The relevant recommendations of the Hancock and Niland reports are examined. The current system under the Fair Work Act 2009 is considered, including the role of the Fair Work Commission. Trends in the number of dispute applications to the Commission, the nature of dispute settling procedures in enterprise agreements, the identity of parties filing disputes with the Commission and the way in which disputes are dealt with by the Commission are all analysed, using a range of data sources. This leads into a broader consideration of the approach taken by different organisations to the general issue of workplace conflict management, drawing in particular on an analysis of seven case studies of large organisations in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors. A typology of different approaches to workplace conflict management is developed. A model is then developed to explain the factors that lead to the adoption of different approaches, and the consequences that flow from each approach. The thesis concludes with a discussion of the implications of the research for management, unions, the Fair Work Commission, policy makers and researchers.

description: eHealth is one of the most rapidly growing facets of the medical industry. Future eHealth appllications will require a great emphasis on remote patient monitoring (RPM). To facilitate this a robust scheduling scheme needs to be in place to accommodate the large number of Machine to Machine (M2M) devices which will require network resources. This project looks at utilising the LTE cellular network framework to facilitate wireless M2M communication in the facet of eHealth applications by introducing a hybrid scheduling scheme. the scheduler emphasises proportional fairness by allocating a specific percentage of the available network resources to both human and machine UE's depending on the time of day. It also borrows concepts from maximum throughput scheduling to assign priorities and uses a unique mathematical approach to calculate the amount of resources allocated to each device. It also identifies the optimal transmission time for a given device to accommodate their delay budget requirements. The proposed scheduling algorithm is not an adaptation of any one specific type of scheduling scheme, but rather a hybrid of several schemes to create a scheduling mechanism which is appropriate for the network. The scheduler was then modelled in the VIENNA LTE MATLAB simulator to look at its performance with regards to throughput, bit error rate (BER), and block error rate (BLER). Its performance was then contrasted with existing scheduling schemes, both primitive and hybrid. For ots specific application it outperformed all the other scheduling types that it was comprised of and is the most appropriate for use within its field. The ultimate outcome of this project is a hybrid LTE scheduler which can Effectively be used to assist RPM related eHealth applications over the current 4G/LTE network.

description: Observations of solar wind turbulence indicate the existence of multi-scale pressure-balanced structures (PBSs) in the solar wind. In this work, we conduct a numerical simulation to investigate multi-scale PBSs and in particular their formation in compressive MHD turbulence. By the use of a higher order Godunov code Athena,a driven compressible turbulence with an imposed uniform guide field is simulated. The simulation results show that both the magnetic pressure and the thermal pressure exhibit a turbulent spectrum with a Kolmogorov-like power law, and that in many regions of the simulation domain they are anti-correlated. The computed wavelet cross-coherence spectrum of the magnetic pressure and the thermal pressure, as well as their space series, indicate the existence of multi-scale PBSs, with the small PBSs being embedded in the large ones. These multi-scale PBSs are likely to be related with the highly oblique-propagating slow-mode waves, as the traced multi-scale PBS is found to be traveling in a certain direction at a speed consistent with that predicted theoretically for a slow-mode wave propagating in the same direction.

description: LHD inward-shifted configurations are unstable to resistive MHD pressure-gradient-driven modes. These modes drive sawtooth like events during LHD operation. In this work, we simulate sawtooth like activity and internal disruptions in order to improve the understanding of these relaxation events and their effect over the device efficiency to confine the plasma, with the aim to improve the LHD present and future operation scenarios minimizing or avoiding the disadvantageous MHD soft and hard limits. By solving a set of reduced non-linear resistive MHD equations, we have studied the evolution of perturbations to equilibria obtained before and after a sawtooth like event in LHD. The equilibrium $β$ value is gradually increased during the simulation until it reaches the experimental value. Sawtooth like events and internal disruption events take place in the simulation for $β_{0}$ values between $1\%$ and $1.48\%$. The main driver of the sawtooth like events is the resonant and non-resonant effect of the $(n=1, m=3)$ mode. The instability is stronger for resonant events, and they only appear when $β_{0} = 1.48 \%$. Internal disruptions are mainly driven by the $(n=1, m=2)$ mode, and they extend throughout the whole plasma core. Internal disruption events do not show up when resonant sawtooth like events are triggered.

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis integrates three independent research programs: a) the Austrian Economics, b) the Law and Economics and c) New Institutional Economics perspectives by introducing a conceptual model called institutional coordination, which is understood as a complex process of interaction between networks of formal and informal institutions (or rules of the games). The first aim of this thesis is to show how institutional coordination emerges from a market-oriented approach. The second aim is to describe how institutional coordination can be applied through the introduction of an alternative economic and sociological taxonomy represented via structured, transitional and unstructured civil societies.

Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Using 1992Q1-2014Q4 housing market, monetary policy and macroeconomic data for the Australian economy, this study investigates the dynamic impact of monetary policy on the Australian housing market. Considering number of purchased residential properties, dwelling investment and real estate prices as housing sector variables, the main objective of this study is to identify how households' or investors' purchasing decisions for residential properties and dwelling investment on new constructions and renovation of residential properties are influenced by the monetary policy shock, exchange rate and real estate prices shocks. To achieve the research goal, a seven-variable SVAR model is developed for the Australian housing market and the empirical findings of this study suggest that purchasing residential properties and dwelling investment are significantly and consistently influenced by the monetary policy shock but dynamic effect of exchange rate shocks on the number of purchased residential properties is insignificant. The interrelationship between monetary policy rate and purchasing residential properties is also acknowledged in this study.

Additionally, we show that $x^*$ also scales the spectral properties of the model (up to certain sparsity) characterized by the spacing distribution of eigenvalues.

description: Research on financial planning behaviour has largely focused on financial counselling and consumer financial savings in advanced societies. Little is known about how service firms and especially frontline employees (FLEs) support consumer financial wellbeing at the base of the pyramid (BOP), which includes 1.3 billion people. The small scale o f research mainly has focused on financial planning and financial wellbeing as consumer responsibility rather than how financial service firms support consumers in their financial wellbeing journey. This study employs social learning and self - regulation theories to develop a theory that addresses how FLEs can contribute to regulating BOP consumer financial planning behaviour. Drawing on matched data of 255 FLEs and 255 consumers, and 45 managers, the findings show that FLEs customer orientation behaviour support s consumer financial planning behaviour. Further the results suggest this relationship is stronger when FLEs pay attention to detail of consumer need s . The findings support t he important role of managers and their leadership style to support FLEs at the frontline to help consumers. Finally, the results show that consumers who engage in financial planning behaviour will enjoy higher financial wellbeing. The study offers service managers solutions to support consumer financial planning behaviour and financial wellbeing.
Literary celebrity from Romanticism to the twenty-first century

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Discourses on authorship have constantly evolved throughout the last few centuries; one of the most notable yet contentious developments in authorship is the author’s involvement in celebrity culture. While the Medieval conception of authorship saw the author as a craftsman, the period of Romanticism singled out the author as a distinctive individual of original genius, and the ‘author as celebrity’ concept began gaining momentum. This trend extended well into the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries, and authors remain celebrated figures in contemporary society. Much work has been dedicated to the conception of authorship, as well as to the field of celebrity studies. Yet authorship studies and celebrity studies have, in recent years, merged, giving the figure of the author a renewed sense of importance. ‘Literary celebrity’ as a discipline has therefore been the focus of a number of useful and insightful studies, notably in the works of Joe Moran, Loren Glass, Lorraine York, and Leo Braudy. Yet the specific study of literary celebrity from an extensive historical perspective has been relatively undeveloped. An historical analysis is needed in order to contextualise the celebrity author’s place and status in the contemporary mediasphere. This thesis adds to the existing body of work on literary celebrity, addressing a gap in research on the topic by providing an historical background to the celebrity author. In charting the development of the celebrity author from the eighteenth to the twenty-first century, my research shows that distinctly Romantic conceptions of authorship have persisted into contemporary society. This is the first work to examine and present an extensive account of literary celebrity from its historical origins to twenty-first century media. In so doing, this thesis illustrates how arguments and assumptions surrounding literary celebrity have been steadily maintained. As a result, literary celebrity remains an important, intriguing topic of discussion, prompting renewed debates relating to modernised conceptions of authorship, writing, reading, popularity, and culture. My research examines the continued importance of celebrity authors in light of their long history.
A Corpus-based contrastive analysis of directive speech act verbs in English and Chinese legislative texts

description: Directive speech act verbs (SAVs) constitute one of the most important areas of the vocabulary of any language and are of great significance for building the theory of human linguistic behaviour. Directive SAVs are considered highly conventionalized and genre-specific, andare prominent in legislative texts to impose obligations (Danet, 1980).The theoretical value and practical significance of such everyday built-in meta language have long been recognized. However, studies focusing on English and Chinese directive SAVs are very rare, particularly in the legal genre. Therefore, this study investigates the uses of a group of commonly-used, synonymous English and Chinese directive SAVs in legislative texts. It proposes a unique theoretical approach that extends the corpus-linguistic framework to compare and contrast the semantic meaning and valency sentence patterns of the examined English and Chinese directive SAVs in depth. To retrieve reliable information on their use, a comparable corpus consisting of original legislative texts in English and Chinese, and a parallel corpus consisting of Chinese legislative texts as source texts and their translations in English, were established.The Contrastive Analysis of a large quantity of empirical corpus data uncovers similarities and differences in the distinctive usage of English and Chinese directive SAVs in legislative texts; it reveals that semantic meaning and syntactic patterns of directive SAVs are closely related, and also that semantic meaning can provide information about syntactic pattern, and vice versa.This study concludes that the valency sentence patterns of the Chinese SAVs, to a large extent, govern the choice of the English translation equivalents as well as their valency patterns. Methodologically, this study demonstrates that comparable and parallel corpora can be exploited fruitfully in contrastive linguistics and corpus-linguistic approaches, and that a contrastive approach can advance the field of translation studies between English and Chinese. It is hoped that this study will be of value and interest to translators and students of language,and offer new insights into the descriptive potential of the corpus-linguistic approach to contrastive lexical semantics and syntax.

description: A ground-based neutron monitor is a standard tool to measure cosmic ray variability near Earth, and it is crucially important to know its yield function for primary cosmic rays. Although there are several earlier theoretically calculated yield functions, none of them agrees with experimental data of latitude surveys of sea-level neutron monitors, thus suggesting for an inconsistency. A newly computed yield function of the standard sea-level 6NM64 neutron monitor is presented here separately for primary cosmic ray protons and $α-$particles, the latter representing also heavier species of cosmic rays. The computations have been done using the GEANT-4 Planetocosmics Monte-Carlo tool and a realistic curved atmospheric model. For the first time, an effect of the geometrical correction of the neutron monitor effective area, related to the finite lateral expansion of the cosmic ray induced atmospheric cascade, is considered, that was neglected in the previous studies. This correction slightly enhances the relative impact of higher-energy cosmic rays (energy above 5--10 GeV/nucleon) in neutron monitor count rate. The new computation finally resolves the long-standing problem of disagreement between the theoretically calculated spatial variability of cosmic rays over the globe and experimental latitude surveys. The newly calculated yield function, corrected for this geometrical factor, appears fully consistent with the experimental latitude surveys of neutron monitors performed during three consecutive solar minima in 1976--77, 1986--87 and 1996--97. Thus, we provide a new yield function of the standard sea-level neutron monitor 6NM64 that is validated against experimental data.

Phagraphene is similar to a defective graphene structure with an arrangement of pentagonal, heptagonal and hexagonal rings. In this study we investigate thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of phagraphene using molecular dynamics simulations. Using the non-equilibrium molecular dynamics method, we found the thermal conductivity of phagraphene to be anisotropic, with room temperature values of $218 \pm 20$ W/m-K along the armchair direction and $285 \pm 29$ W/m-K along the zigzag direction. Both values are one order of magnitude smaller than pristine graphene. Analysis of phonon group velocities also shows a significant reduction in this quantity for phagraphene in comparison to graphene. By performing uniaxial tensile simulations, we studied the deformation process and mechanical response of phagraphene. We found that phagraphene exhibits a remarkable high tensile strength around $85 \pm 2$ GPa, whereas its elastic modulus is also anisotropic along in-plane directions, with values of $870 \pm 15$ GPa and $800 \pm 14$ GPa for armchair and zigzag directions respectively. The lower thermal conductivity of phagraphene along with its predicted electronic properties suggests that it could be a better candidate than graphene in future carbon-based thermoelectric devices.

description: To describe many-particle systems suspended in incompressible low-Reynolds-number fluids, effective hydrodynamic interactions can be introduced. Here, we consider particles embedded in elastic media. The effective elastic interactions between spherical particles are calculated analytically, inspired by the approach in the fluid case. Our experiments on interacting magnetic particles confirm the theory. In view of the huge success of the method in hydrodynamics, we similarly expect many future applications in the elastic case, e.g. for elastic composite materials.

description: In this method, a novel Brønsted acidic ionic liquid silica-supported pyridinium sulfonic acid thiocyanate {SiO2@[Pyridine-SO3H]SCN} and sulfonic acid-functionalized pyridinium chloride {[PSA]Cl} were easily synthesized and characterized. In the first method, {SiO2@[Pyridine-SO3H]SCN as a novel and environmentally friendly catalyst with one acidic functional group and one thiocyanation agent group was efﬁciently used for the synthesis of aryl and heteroaryl thiocyanates via the condensation of anilines, indoles, pyrroles, and their derivatives in the presence of H2O2 as a green oxidant in EtOH:H2O (1:1) at room temperature. In the second method, {[PSA]Cl} as a new ionic liquid and environmentally friendly catalyst with one acidic functional group was used for the simple and efficient synthesis of aryl and heteroaryl thiocyanates via the condensation of anilines, indoles, pyrroles, and their derivatives with NH4SCN in the presence of H2O2 as a green oxidant in EtOH:H2O (1:1) at room temperature. A simple experimental procedure, clean reaction profile, use of an inexpensive catalyst, and recyclability of the catalyst are some of the advantages of the procedure. Also, one of the advantages of the first method is the non-usage of NH4SCN or KSCN in the reaction.
Reclaiming Australia?: the digital formations of the Australian anti-Islamic nationalist movement

description: With the re-emergence of Pauline Hanson and One Nation at the 2016 federal election, the politics of race in Australia have entered another critical phase. This thesis examines the emergence of four prominent anti-Islamic, Australian nationalist organisations – Reclaim Australia, the United Patriots Front, Halal Choices and the Q Society, which are united in their view that Muslims are incompatible with the contemporary Australian nation. Relying on digital, networked social media technologies as a means of organisation, communication and interaction, these organisations form a collective, produce discourse and transition from the digital realm into public space. The digital formation and rapid development of this anti-Islamic nationalist movement highlights the new dynamics restructuring the contemporary Australian racial hierarchy and the rules of national belonging. This project applies a critical discourse analysis methodology to demonstrate how a network of everyday actors use new media as a technology of power. Working through the new media ecology, these organisations create multiple identity regimes, (re)attaching meaning to the contested language of race, nation, and multiculturalism. The project concludes that in promoting a return to an Australia of a past imaginary, a Christian, masculine, White-normative nationalism is reasserted by Whites and non-Whites alike. This (re)renders colonial-era cultural formations as a defensive, affective response to threats, both real and perceived. This project opens a window onto the everyday exercise of diffuse social power as a means of racialised oppression, and the everyday reconstitution of macro-discourses which are formed by a complex amalgam of political, social, economic and historical forces.
Content Sharing using Smart Mobile Devices in Irregular Meeting Places

description: The evolution of smart mobile devices has significantly impacted the way people access and share contents. Existing content sharing schemes require an Internet connection to be always available. However, many places lack Internet connectivity and Internet traffic is also increasing at a rapid speed. Therefore, to alleviate the requirement of having such a persistent connection, this thesis presents novel decentralized content sharing techniques, specifically targeting tourist spot type scenario where visitors can communicate among themselves using their smart mobile devices and collaboratively share contents. Employing such a scheme will effectively enhance tourism experience and reduce data communication cost.
(CR 15) MORC2 Neurodevelopmental Disorder - a Mitochondrial Disease Masquerader

description: Introduction: MORC2 gene mutations cause a newly described neurodevelopmental disorder with growth retardation and variable craniofacial dysmorphism. We present a case report of a patient with a heterozygous MORC2 mutation who was initially diagnosed with Leigh syndrome based on clinical presentation and typical MRI brain findings. The aim of this case report is to highlight the possibility of other genetic conditions masquerading as a mitochondrial disorder. Case Report/Description : A 2-year-old boy with a background of global development delay and hypotonia presented with hemiplegia, dystonia and neuroregression following a minor fall. Physical examination revealed left upper motor neuron facial nerve palsy, left hemiplegia, generalized hypotonia and hyporeflexia. His serum and cerebrospinal fluid lactate levels were increased. MRI brain showed bilateral symmetrical T2 hyperintensities in the basal ganglia and brainstem. Leigh full panel and SURF1 gene analysis by Sanger sequencing did not detect any causative mutation. Whole exome sequencing identified a heterozygous likely pathogenic variant in the MORC2 gene: c.79G>A (p. Glu27Lys) which is consistent with his clinical phenotype. Discussion/Conclusion : Microrchidia CW- zinc finger type 2 (MORC2) encodes for an ATPase fundamental for epigenetic silencing by the human silencing hub (HUSH) complex, which is expressed in neural tissues. As it binds to ATP citrate lyase which catalyses formation of acetyl Co-A, this is the potential mechanism for mitochondrial-like disease features. In view of the wide differential diagnosis for abnormalities of the basal ganglia, it is important to pursue a molecular diagnosis and be open to expanding clinical spectrums for newly described disorders.

description: D-Wave quantum annealers represent a novel computational architecture and have attracted significant interest, but have been used for few real-world computations. Machine learning has been identified as an area where quantum annealing may be useful. Here, we show that the D-Wave 2X can be effectively used as part of an unsupervised machine learning method. This method can be used to analyze large datasets. The D-Wave only limits the number of features that can be extracted from the dataset. We apply this method to learn the features from a set of facial images.

description: We report the discovery that the nearby ($\sim$ 6 pc) photometrically variable T2.5 dwarf SIMP~J013656.5+093347 is a likely member of the $\sim$ 200 Myr-old Carina-Near moving group with a probability of $>$ 99.9% based on its full kinematics. Our $v\sin i$ measurement of $50.9 \pm 0.8$ km s$^{-1}$ combined with the known rotation period inferred from variability measurements provide a lower limit of $1.01 \pm 0.02$ $R_{\mathrm{Jup}}$ on the radius of SIMP0136+0933, an independent verification that it must be younger than $\sim$ 950 Myr according to evolution models. We estimate a field interloper probability of 0.2% based on the density of field T0-T5 dwarfs. At the age of Carina-Near, SIMP0136+0933 has an estimated mass of $12.7 \pm 1.0$ $M_{\mathrm{Jup}}$ and is predicted to have burned roughly half of its original deuterium. SIMP0136+0933 is the closest known young moving group member to the Sun, and is one of only a few known young T dwarfs, making it an important benchmark for understanding the atmospheres of young planetary-mass objects.
