description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science to the School of Pharmacy and Applied Science, School of Molecular Sciences, Faculty of Science, Technology and Engineering, La Trobe University, Bendigo.

The thesis investigates the synthesis, anti-microbial and anti-platelet activity relating to 1,3-oxazines. While providing a past and present overview of the biological importance of 1,3-oxazines, the thesis is also intended to provide the rationale for synthesis of the new 1,3-oxazines compounds. Discuses previous methods of 1,3-benzoxazine synthesis as well as providing a generalized method for the synthesis of new 1,3-oxazines from newly prepared 2- hydroxy-substituted-carboxylic acids. Generalized procedures for the synthesis of 2- amino-1,3-oxazine derivatives from 1,3-oxazine derivatives were further optimised with their reaction schemes and reaction mechanisms presented. In the thesis the successful synthesis of a number of important 7,8-O and 7-N substituted2-amino-1,3-benzoxazines as well as a number of substituted-bis-morholino-1,3-oxazines has been achieved. The reaction of a variety of thio-1,3-oxazine with benzylamine were also examined. The thesis also covers the second sub-group of interest, methylthio-1,3-oxazines. The general method was developed for the synthesis of methylthio-oxazines. Further reaction of 7-N-Acetyl-2-methylthio-1,3-benzoxazines with benzylamine, 2-amio pyridine, 3- aminopyridine, 4-amino pyridine and L-Leucine methyl ester were carried out with varying degrees of success. Finally the synthesis of some 4-substituted-N-benzyl-2- (benzyloxy)benzamides was investigated with benzyl bromide, starting from 7-Nsubstituted, 1,3-oxazine, 2,4-di-ones. Many of the 7, 8-O and 7-N-substituted-2-amino-1,3-benzoxazines were evaluated for their anti-platelet activity with promising results, as several compounds assayed showed potent inhibition of collagen induced platelet aggregation. Also a range of different 1,3- oxazine structural functionality was investigated for antimicrobial activity. The results indicated that a number of substituted-(benzylcarbamothioyl)-hydroxy-benzamides assayed inhibited the growth of certain bacteria and fungi.

description: The endometrium, the mucosal lining of the uterus, undergoes dynamic changes throughout the menstrual cycle in response to ovarian hormones. We have generated dense single-cell and spatial reference maps of the human uterus and three-dimensional endometrial organoid cultures. We dissect the signaling pathways that determine cell fate of the epithelial lineages in the lumenal and glandular microenvironments. Our benchmark of the endometrial organoids reveals the pathways and cell states regulating differentiation of the secretory and ciliated lineages both in vivo and in vitro. In vitro downregulation of WNT or NOTCH pathways increases the differentiation efficiency along the secretory and ciliated lineages, respectively. We utilize our cellular maps to deconvolute bulk data from endometrial cancers and endometriotic lesions, illuminating the cell types dominating in each of these disorders. These mechanistic insights provide a platform for future development of treatments for common conditions including endometriosis and endometrial carcinoma.

description: There have been reports of poor-quality research during the COVID-19 pandemic. This registered report assessed design characteristics of registered clinical trials for COVID-19 compared to non-COVID-19 trials to empirically explore the design of clinical research during a pandemic and how it compares to research conducted in non-pandemic times. We did a retrospective cohort study with a 1 : 1 ratio of interventional COVID-19 registrations to non-COVID-19 registrations, with four trial design outcomes: use of control arm, randomization, blinding and prospective registration. Logistic regression was used to estimate the odds ratio of investigating COVID-19 versus not COVID-19 and estimate direct and total effects of investigating COVID-19 for each outcome. The primary analysis showed a positive direct and total effect of COVID-19 on the use of control arms and randomization. It showed a negative direct effect of COVID-19 on blinding but no evidence of a total effect. There was no evidence of an effect on prospective registration. Taken together with secondary and sensitivity analyses, our findings are inconclusive but point towards a higher prevalence of key design characteristics in COVID-19 trials versus controls. The findings do not support much existing COVID-19 research quality literature, which generally suggests that COVID-19 led to a reduction in quality. Limitations included some data quality issues, minor deviations from the pre-registered plan and the fact that trial registrations were analysed which may not accurately reflect study design and conduct. Following in-principle acceptance, the approved stage 1 version of this manuscript was pre-registered on the Open Science Framework at https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/5YAEB.

description: A model for the $\bar K d \to πY N$ reactions with $Y=Λ, Σ$ is developed, aiming at establishing the low-lying $Λ$ and $Σ$ hyperon resonances through analyzing the forthcoming data from the J-PARC E31 experiment. The off-shell amplitudes generated from the dynamical coupled-channels (DCC) model, which was developed in Kamano et al. [Phys. Rev. C 90, 065204 (2014)], are used as input to the calculations of the elementary $\bar K N \to \bar K N$ and $\bar K N \to πY$ subprocesses in the $\bar K d \to πY N$ reactions. It is shown that the cross sections for the J-PARC E31 experiment with a rather high incoming-$\bar{K}$ momentum, $|\vec p_{\bar K}|= 1$ GeV, can be predicted reliably only when the input $\bar K N \to \bar K N$ amplitudes are generated from a $\bar KN$ model, such as the DCC model used in this investigation, which describes the data of the $\bar K N$ reactions at energies far beyond the $\bar K N$ threshold. We find that the data of the threefold differential cross section $dσ/(dM_{πΣ}dΩ_{p_n})$ for the $K^- d \to πΣn$ reaction below the $\bar K N$ threshold can be used to test the predictions of the resonance poles associated with $Λ(1405)$. We also find that the momentum dependence of the threefold differential cross sections for the $K^- d \to π^- Λp$ reaction can be used to examine the existence of a low-lying $J^P=1/2^+$ $Σ$ resonance with a pole mass $M_R = 1457 -i39$ MeV, which was found from analyzing the $K^-p$ reaction data within the employed DCC model.

description: The coupling between quantum-confined electron spins in semiconductor heterostructures and nuclear spins dominates the dephasing of spin qubits in III/V semiconductors. The interaction can be measured through the electron-spin dynamics or through its effect on the nuclear spin. Here, we discuss the resulting shift of the NMR frequency (the Knight shift) and measure its size as a function of the charge-carrier density for photoexcited charge carriers in a GaAs quantum well.

description: Linking human motion and natural language is of great interest for the generation of semantic representations of human activities as well as for the generation of robot activities based on natural language input. However, while there have been years of research in this area, no standardized and openly available dataset exists to support the development and evaluation of such systems. We therefore propose the KIT Motion-Language Dataset, which is large, open, and extensible. We aggregate data from multiple motion capture databases and include them in our dataset using a unified representation that is independent of the capture system or marker set, making it easy to work with the data regardless of its origin. To obtain motion annotations in natural language, we apply a crowd-sourcing approach and a web-based tool that was specifically build for this purpose, the Motion Annotation Tool. We thoroughly document the annotation process itself and discuss gamification methods that we used to keep annotators motivated. We further propose a novel method, perplexity-based selection, which systematically selects motions for further annotation that are either under-represented in our dataset or that have erroneous annotations. We show that our method mitigates the two aforementioned problems and ensures a systematic annotation process. We provide an in-depth analysis of the structure and contents of our resulting dataset, which, as of October 10, 2016, contains 3911 motions with a total duration of 11.23 hours and 6278 annotations in natural language that contain 52,903 words. We believe this makes our dataset an excellent choice that enables more transparent and comparable research in this important area.

The regime of amplification

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the Media: Screen & Sound Program, School of Communication, Arts and Critical Enquiry, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

In this PhD thesis I explore the synergistic interplay between a personal way-of-going and a creative media arts practice. Reflecting my trans-disciplinary background in engineering, science, and the creative arts, I approach the interplay as a 'world-view' sourced in a concept of energy, which I elucidate. This 'world-view' turns away from dominantly materialist assumptions about reality. Applying a technological model of amplification—one that maps a dynamic of energy relations across a wide variety of systems—I connect otherwise divergent principles within the dynamics of embodied presence, of human encounter, and of technological and social development. In this context, I frame and critically examine a model of the techno-social system that we now inhabit what I call "The Regime of Amplification." Several aspects and manifestations of The Regime are explored―the military, radio, glass, and money/code―suggesting consequential ways of engaging in a creative practice within such a system. Throughout the thesis I reflect on creative personal projects and practices that explore the relationship between individual expression and its social context. These include photographic portraiture, on- and off-line performance, archive-as-art, teaching and facilitation, network presence, and dining together. One of my intentions throughout is to suggest ways of sensing the world that may radically transform creative practices. The expansive online creative project "the tech-no-mad (b)log" is also introduced as the creative practice element of the PhD project and is available at [http://tech-no-mad.net/blog/]. It accompanies the thesis as a multi-media exploration of the way-of-going with material from my personal and family archive. As a dynamic public platform, the (b)log expands on many of the thesis topics using audio, video, text, and image. The (b)log's format addresses issues of public access, creative sustainability, and duration.

description: Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) represents a powerful method to investigate differential gene expression patterns among distinct cell types. Although the majority of identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) are based on biological differences, there are still those that result from technical noise. We present tRuffle, a user-friendly R/Shiny app, which does not only help to exclude systematic artifacts, but in addition, allows to easily recognize the most meaningful DEGs for each scRNA-seq cluster. Guided by an intuitive graphical user interface, users are able to upload DEG lists generated by commonly used tools for each cluster in comparison to the remaining data. Based on the DEG occurrence among all clusters, a uniqueness-score is calculated for every gene. Subsequently, this score operates as an additional evaluation parameter by excluding genes that are found to be differentially expressed in many clusters and are thus unspecific. Furthermore, specifying individual thresholds enables the user to adjust for varying levels of background noise and to explore only those genes which show cluster-specific expression. The combination of tabular and graphical output makes tRuffle a convenient, fast and adaptable tool to generate valid biological hypotheses from scRNA-seq data.

description: The cloud is an appealing platform for bioinformaticians. They can bring
 up compute infrastructure on demand and at the scale they requested. They can
 access voluminous amounts of open access data hosted in cloud environments.
 To make use of the cloud, it is valuable to have cloud native implementations of important
 bioinformatics package.

 We discuss ElasticBLAST, a cloud-native package to produce alignments with
 the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST). Built on top of the stand-alone BLAST+
 command-line package, ElasticBLAST works with a range of query inputs,
 handling anything from a few to millions of query sequences. ElasticBLAST
 instantiates cloud instances, dispatches work to them, and deletes resources
 when it is done. ElasticBLAST is supported on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud
 Platform (GCP). We discuss the implementation of ElasticBLAST, show usage
 examples and discuss performance.

 In the last year, several updates have been made to ElasticBLAST. First,
 it automatically selects an instance type for the BLAST runs based on
 the database. Second, it shuts down cloud resources at the end of the run.
 Finally, the ElasticBLAST throughput has been improved.

 The source code and documentation for ElasticBLAST are freely available on Github.

description: We derive the necessary conditions for implementing a regulator that depends on both momentum and frequency in the nonperturbative renormalization group flow equations of out-of-equilibrium statistical systems. We consider model A as a benchmark and compute its dynamical critical exponent $z$. This allows us to show that frequency regulators compatible with causality and the fluctuation-dissipation theorem can be devised. We show that when the Principle of Minimal Sensitivity (PMS) is employed to optimize the critical exponents $η$, $ν$ and $z$, the use of frequency regulators becomes necessary to make the PMS a self-consistent criterion.

Subjects: Digital transformation, business models, technology investments, innovation, customer expectations

description: Digital transformation is a vital process for modern businesses seeking to adapt and thrive in the digital age. It involves more than just adopting new technologies; it necessitates a fundamental shift in business models and practices. This transformation leverages digital tools to enhance or replace existing resources, fostering innovation, agility, and efficiency. It spans all aspects of IT across industries, encompassing cloud technologies, mobile applications, and the adoption of "resources as a service."

To remain competitive and meet customer and employee expectations, businesses must make strategic technology investments. This entails embracing cutting-edge techniques for data storage, analysis, automation, and management. As innovations build upon one another, technological advancements lead to process improvements, ultimately enhancing products and services.

In today's digital age, customers have come to expect seamless, tech-driven experiences. Meeting these expectations is not only a market necessity but also a natural progression in economic development. To succeed, businesses must fully embrace digital transformation and harness the potential of digital technology.

Identity effect of hearing changes: A qualitative exploration of late-deafened adults’ experiences through hearing loss & cochlear implantation
Creators: name: Bleckly, Felicity
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis examines identity challenges presented by both hearing loss acquired as an adult, and regaining hearing through a cochlear implant. Hearing loss can challenge the understanding late-deafened adults have of themselves, while they reconcile with changes forced on them. Receiving a cochlear implant creates a different hearing status, another often unsettling challenge with a life-long commitment to technology. Using an online survey administered through social media, with follow-up semi-structured interviews, participants answered questions about their hearing loss and cochlear implant experiences. Forty-four people answered the survey and 16 participated in an in-depth interview. A key finding was most late-deafened adults did not have access to support as their hearing changed, but when they did, positive role models helped them understand and cope with their hearing loss and sustain their identity. Furthermore, findings suggested more hearing healthcare providers need to introduce a support structure including referral to hearing rehabilitation, counselling and peer groups, to help late-deafened adults cope with their changing hearing status. The cochlear implant decision was difficult for many because it meant accepting they were deaf, and knowing that through the implantation process they were likely to lose any residual hearing. Participants valued talking with people/mentors who already had an implant which often helped with the decision process. A cochlear implant changes hearing status and comments from most participants indicate once again they had to rethink their identity. Were they now hearing, deaf or something in between? After a cochlear implant, this research found some participants retained and strengthened their hearing identity, while others regained their previously held hearing identity. Nevertheless, some participants, after surgery, identified as deaf or disabled when they had not done so, prior to implantation.
Signatures of time-reversal-invariant topological superconductivity in the Josephson effect

description: For Josephson junctions based on s-wave superconductors, time-reversal symmetry is known to allow for powerful relations between the normal-state junction properties, the excitation spectrum, and the Josephson current. Here we provide analogous relations for Josephson junctions involving one-dimensional time-reversal-invariant topological superconductors supporting Majorana-Kramers pairs, considering both topological-topological and s-wave-topological junctions. Working in the regime where the junction is much shorter than the superconducting coherence length, we obtain a number of analytical and numerical results that hold for arbitrary normal-state conductance and the most general forms of spin-orbit coupling. The signatures of topological superconductivity we find include the fractional ac Josephson effect, which arises in topological-topological junctions provided that the energy relaxation is sufficiently slow. We also show, for both junction types, that robust signatures of topological superconductivity arise in the dc Josephson effect in the form of switches in the Josephson current due to zero-energy crossings of Andreev levels. The junction spin-orbit coupling enters the Josephson current only in the topological-topological case and in a manner determined by the switch locations, thereby allowing quantitative predictions for experiments with the normal-state conductance, the induced gaps, and the switch locations as inputs.

The hedonic, utilitarian, and speculative factors of consumer imagination
Creators: name: Mason, Steven Eric
Publisher: name: La Trobe

description: Submission note: “This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the School of Marketing, Tourism and Hospitality, Faculty of Business, Economics and Law, La Trobe University, Bundoora.”.

Consumer imagination is a topic which has generated little interest among consumer behaviour researchers. This oversight has left unexplored the role of consumer imagination in consumer behaviour. This thesis addresses this gap by conceptualising the role of imagination in the consumer experience and by developing a scale of consumer imagination. It contributes to a better understanding of how consumers use their imagination and identifies three distinct facets of consumer imagination: hedonic imagination, which represents the degree of enjoyment a consumer receives from using their imagination; utilitarian imagination, which represents a consumer’s propensity to employ their imagination functionally and pragmatically; and speculative imagination, which represents a consumer’s propensity to employ their imagination in an exploratory manner. Imagination has been an elusive construct for consumer researchers, so developing a means to address it was the primary contribution of this thesis. A substantial review of the literature on imagination theory, imagination scaling and consumer imagination was conducted. The Churchill (1979) method was employed to achieve the desired results. An EFA was conducted on a pool of 51 items and the three theorized factors were confirmed. A total of three data sets were collected: one qualitative to develop an appropriate definition and a pool of items and two quantitative sets as a part of the scale development process. The third study undertaken was a CFA validation of the pool of items to retest the factors uncovered in the second study, testing the items using structural equation modelling, and confirmed. The scale was then tested against other constructs to establish the relevant and prescribed measures of scale validity. The scales used were (1) the Desire for Unique Objects (Lynn and Harris, 1997); (2) Consumer Novelty Seeking (Manning, Beardon and Madden, 1995); (3) Consumer Uniqueness (Price and Ridgeway, 1982); and (4) the Personality Orientation Model of Gountas (Gountas and Gountas, 2001). The results of all four scales were found to be broadly consistent with those of the imagination scale developed for this project.

Fitting tails affected by truncation

description: In several applications, ultimately at the largest data, truncation effects can be observed when analysing tail characteristics of statistical distributions. In some cases truncation effects are forecasted through physical models such as the Gutenberg-Richter relation in geophysics, while at other instances the nature of the measurement process itself may cause under recovery of large values, for instance due to flooding in river discharge readings. Recently Beirlant et al. (2016) discussed tail fitting for truncated Pareto-type distributions. Using examples from earthquake analysis, hydrology and diamond valuation we demonstrate the need for a unified treatment of extreme value analysis for truncated heavy and light tails. We generalise the classical Peaks over Threshold approach for the different max-domains of attraction with shape parameter $ξ>-1/2$ to allow for truncation effects. We use a pseudo-maximum likelihood approach to estimate the model parameters and consider extreme quantile estimation and reconstruction of quantile levels before truncation whenever appropriate. We report on some simulation experiments and provide some basic asymptotic results.

Stabilization of class-B broad-area lasers emission by external optical injection

description: We theoretically examine the effect of external optical injection on the spatio-temporal dynamics of class-B broad-area lasers. We demonstrate that optical injection can efficiently stabilize the intrinsic transverse instabilities in such lasers associated with both the boundaries of the pumping area and with the bulk nonlinearities of the active medium. Stabilizing action of optical injection is shown to be closely related to the suppression of inherent relaxation oscillations behavior.

Deep Recurrent Neural Networks for Supernovae Classification

description: We apply deep recurrent neural networks, which are capable of learning complex sequential information, to classify supernovae\footnote{Code available at \href{https://github.com/adammoss/supernovae}{https://github.com/adammoss/supernovae}}. The observational time and filter fluxes are used as inputs to the network, but since the inputs are agnostic additional data such as host galaxy information can also be included. Using the Supernovae Photometric Classification Challenge (SPCC) data, we find that deep networks are capable of learning about light curves, however the performance of the network is highly sensitive to the amount of training data. For a training size of 50\% of the representational SPCC dataset (around $10^4$ supernovae) we obtain a type-Ia vs. non-type-Ia classification accuracy of 94.7\%, an area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve AUC of 0.986 and a SPCC figure-of-merit $F_1=0.64$. When using only the data for the early-epoch challenge defined by the SPCC we achieve a classification accuracy of 93.1\%, AUC of 0.977 and $F_1=0.58$, results almost as good as with the whole light-curve. By employing bidirectional neural networks we can acquire impressive classification results between supernovae types -I,~-II and~-III at an accuracy of 90.4\% and AUC of 0.974. We also apply a pre-trained model to obtain classification probabilities as a function of time, and show it can give early indications of supernovae type. Our method is competitive with existing algorithms and has applications for future large-scale photometric surveys.

Cross-cultural approach to coastal and marine protected area design in south-eastern Sydney

description: Globally, Indigenous knowledge systems, people, and Country are increasingly being recognised in marine spatial planning. Indigenous coastal communities, on the east coast of Australia, are actively protecting the cultural and ecological values of their ancestral estates and related management practices. Yet, in Australia, co-designed marine spatial planning with Indigenous Peoples, is still in its infancy. In collaboration with the Gamay Rangers, Sydney, we combined Indigenous Science and Western Science to develop a new cross-cultural approach to Marine Protected Area design in an urban setting. A combination of ecological, heritage, and government, along with semi-structured interviews to elicit Indigenous Science, was used to produce a portfolio of Marine Protected Area Marxan scenarios. The scenarios showed that in the absence of Indigenous Science, existing areas protected as National Parks and reserves were selected. When Indigenous Science was included, areas of high cultural value, such as fishing places, burial sites, and dreaming and ceremonial sites were prioritised. Therefore, this comparative marine spatial planning study showed that including Indigenous Science can alter optimal planning scenarios that shift conservation priorities from classical Western values towards Indigenous values which is becoming an increasing focus in conservation planning globally.

description: We construct invertible field theories generalizing abelian prequantum spin Chern-Simons theory to manifolds of dimension 4k+3 endowed with a Wu structure of degree 2k+2. After analysing the anomalies of a certain discrete symmetry, we gauge it, producing topological field theories whose path integral reduces to a finite sum, akin to Dijkgraaf-Witten theories. We take a general point of view where the Chern-Simons gauge group and its couplings are encoded in a local system of integral lattices. The Lagrangian of these theories has to be interpreted as a class in a generalized cohomology theory in order to obtain a gauge invariant action. We develop a computationally friendly cochain model for this generalized cohomology and use it in a detailed study of the properties of the Wu Chern-Simons action. In the three-dimensional spin case, the latter provides a definition of the "fermionic correction" introduced recently in the literature on fermionic symmetry protected topological phases. In order to construct the state space of the gauged theories, we develop an analogue of geometric quantization for finite abelian groups endowed with a skew-symmetric pairing. The physical motivation for this work comes from the fact that in the k = 1 case, the gauged 7-dimensional topological field theories constructed here are essentially the anomaly field theories of the 6-dimensional conformal field theories with (2,0) supersymmetry, as will be discussed elsewhere.
