description: The Integrated Marine Observing System National Reference Station network provides unprecedented open access to species-level phytoplankton and zooplankton data for researchers, managers and policy makers interested in resource condition, and detecting and understanding the magnitude and time-scales of change in our marine environment. We describe how to access spatial and temporal plankton data collected from the seven reference stations located around the Australian coastline, and a summary of the associated physical and chemical parameters measured that help in the interpretation of plankton data. Details on the rationale for site locations, sampling methodologies and laboratory analysis protocols are provided to assist with use of the data, and design of complimentary investigations. Information on taxonomic entities reported in the plankton database, and changes in taxonomic nomenclature and other issues that may affect data interpretation, are included. Data from more than 1250 plankton samples are freely available via the Australian Ocean Data Network portal and we encourage uptake and use of this continental-scale dataset, giving summaries of data currently available and some practical applications. The full methods manual that includes sampling and analysis protocols for the Integrated Marine Observing System Biogeochemical Operations can be found on-line.
A long-short term event memory state-space model for multi-party elections
Creators: name: Groß, Marcus
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: State-space models are a popular choice in modelling voting intentions and election results by using poll data. The presented multivariate state-space model attempts to go beyond random-walk or Kalman-filter approaches (with comparable performance to simple weighted survey averages) to the problem by introducing a long-short term event memory effect. This effect serves as reasonable explanation to the observation that the voter's share partially tends to reverse to the party's long-term trend after larger short term movements. Any event influencing the voter's share of a party is presumed to have a convex shaped effect decomposable into a short term effect due to e.g. media spreading and a smaller long term effect remaining despite overlay effects of new events and forgetting. This effect is modelled by a mixture of a random walk and two contrasting autoregressive processes. By also taking advantage of the widely observed effect that government parties tend to fall in voter's share, whereas the opposite effect is observed for opposition parties, mid- and long-term predictions of election outcomes can be considerably be improved. The Stan-model is fitted and evaluated on poll data from seven pollsters for the German national elections ("Bundestagswahl") from 1994 to 2017, where low double digits (out-of-sample) improvements in prediction performance can be seen between 3- and 18-months prior elections. By taking into account the pollsters house effects, their poll errors and even more importantly their correlations in poll errors, an appropriate and realistic estimation error can be propagated.
Biomarkers : the molecular gaze and the transformation of cancer survivorship
Creators: name: Bell, Kirsten
Publisher: name: Macmillan
Year: 2015

description: Over the past two decades, molecular technologies have transformed the landscape of cancer diagnosis, treatment and disease surveillance. However, although the effects of these technologies in the areas of primary and secondary cancer prevention have been the focus of growing study, their role in tertiary prevention remains largely unexamined. Treating this topic as a problematic to be conceptually explored rather than empirically demonstrated, this article focuses on the molecularisation of tertiary prevention, especially the growing use of molecular biomarkers to monitor disease recurrence. Taking a semiotic approach, I speculate on the potential meanings of molecular biomarkers for people living with and beyond cancer and suggest the meanings of these technologies may differ in important ways for those on both sides of the risk divide: that is, those ‘at risk’ for cancer and those living with realised risk. Although molecular biomarkers may intensify a sense of ‘measured vulnerability’, by indexing cancer’s presence they may also prove reassuring. Moreover, as an invisible but ostensibly ‘transparent’ sign, in some contexts they appear to enable cancer survivors to challenge biomedical decision making. In the light of recent oncological debates about the value of these biomarkers in tertiary prevention, I conclude by suggesting that signs can never be reduced to their ‘objective’ biomedical denotation in spite of professional attempts to expunge meaning and value from care.

description: Seeking a vantage point suitable for model choice, we recast three different degrees of absence of arbitrage into a unified multidimensional semimartingale setting: absence of arbitrage of the first kind for the large set of allowable strategies, for the medium set of admissible strategies, and for the smaller set of simple no short sales trading. Each of these degrees of absence of arbitrage is equivalent to the existence of a type of equivalent deflator: martingale, local martingale, and supermartingale deflator. Comparing these results highlights their beautiful symmetry, shows which types of strategies may create arbitrage in which kind of models, and reveals settings that level the differences between two or three of the different degrees of absence of arbitrage. Understanding these phenomena and the resulting model risk should be useful when choosing between models for a specific purpose.

Constructive alignment for introductory programming
Creators: name: Cain, Andrew
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis discusses the application of constructive alignment with portfolio assessment to the teaching of introductory programming. The goal of the work aimed to create a positive, student-centred, teaching and learning environment that encouraged, and rewarded, students to focus on deep approaches to learning. Learning to program has been found to be very challenging. Work in this thesis investigated ways to improve student learning outcomes in introductory programming units taught at the university level. It discusses improvements in the teaching and learning environment that resulted from applying the principles of constructive alignment, including the application of constructive learning theories, aligned curriculum, and open assessment practices. The thesis presents a systematic literature review of existing applications of constructive alignment, and argues for the need to explore approaches that aim to capture the integrated nature of the original work. It argues that this can only be achieved through adjustments to delivery and assessment practices, and proposes a set of guiding principles that can be used to create the desired learning environment. A model of constructive alignment is presented, which encompasses the proposed principles and provides processes and guidelines for its implementation. The practicality of the resulting approach is demonstrated through the description of two programming unit exemplars. Within this context, a concept-based, procedures-first, approach to introductory programming is also proposed, along with a range of supporting tools and resources. This approach provides students with a solid understanding of programming concepts, and experiences with a range of programming languages and paradigms, by the end of their first year of university study. Analysis of the exemplar units, and the resulting student learning outcomes, demonstrates the positive potential for learning environments created using the proposed approach. The resulting learning environment supports a wide range of student capabilities, rewards students for deeply engaging with unit material, and encourages them to use their imagination and creativity. Using this approach, teaching staff are consistently astounded by the quality of work students are able to achieve. While the exemplars applied the model to introductory programming, the discussion illustrates how the model can be applied to a wider range of subject areas.
Sintering performance of titanium bearing iron ores
Creators: name: Dehghan-Manshadi, Ali

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Titanium-bearing iron ores are found in many large deposits around the world and are becoming an important alternative source of iron ore due to shortage of high purity ores. More importantly, in many cases Ti-bearing secondary raw materials are introduced into the blast furnace to protect the hearth and extend the blast furnace operating life. As the refractory material in the blast furnace hearth is the most critical part of the blast furnace, extending the life of this area can extend the operation life of the whole blast furnace. The mechanism by which the blast furnace hearth can be protected by addition of titanium to the burden is via the formation of complex titanium carbo-nitrides. These titanium carbo-nitrides with very high melting point form in the hot area of the blast furnace then precipitate in the cooler area of the hearth, i.e. the area where the most heat is lost, as an additional refractory.
Functional basis of ecological divergence in sympatric stickleback

Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2016

description: Background: The evolution of ecological divergence in closely related species is a key component of adaptive radiation. However, in most examples of adaptive radiation the mechanistic basis of ecological divergence remains unclear. A classic example is seen in the young benthic and limnetic stickleback species pairs of British Columbia. In each pair the benthic species feeds on littoral macroinvertebrates whereas the limnetic feeds on pelagic zooplankton. Previous studies indicate that in both short-term feeding trials and long-term enclosure studies, benthics and limnetics exhibit enhanced performance on their own resource but fare more poorly on the other species’ resource. We examined the functional basis of ecological divergence in the stickleback species pair from Paxton Lake, BC, using biomechanical models of fish feeding applied to morphological traits. We examined the consequences of morphological differences using high speed video of feeding fish. Results: Benthic stickleback possess morphological traits that predict high suction generation capacity, including greatly hypertrophied epaxial musculature. In contrast, limnetic stickleback possess traits thought to enhance capture of evasive planktonic prey, including greater jaw protrusion than benthics and greater displacement advantage in both the lower jaw-opening lever system and the opercular four-bar linkage. Kinematic data support the expectations from the morphological analysis that limnetic stickleback exhibit faster strikes and greater jaw protrusion than benthic fish, whereas benthics exert greater suction force on attached prey. Conclusions: We reveal a previously unknown suite of complex morphological traits that affect rapid ecological divergence in sympatric stickleback. These results indicate that postglacial divergence in stickleback involves many functional systems and shows the value of investigating the functional consequences of phenotypic divergence in adaptive radiation.

When seasonality meets Bayesian: Decomposing seasonalities in Stan
Creators: name: Moon, Hyunji
name: Lee, Hyeonseop
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Multiple seasonalities play a key role in time series forecasting, especially for business time series where seasonal effects are often dramatic. Previous approaches including Fourier decomposition, exponential smoothing, and Seasonal ARIMA do not reflect distinct characteristics of each period in seasonal patterns such as unique behavior of specific day of the week in business data. We propose a multi-dimensional hierarchical model. Intermediate parameters for each seasonal period are first estimated, then mixture of intermediate parameters are then taken, resulting in the model which successfully reflects interactions between multiple seasonalities. Although this process leads to the reduction of data available for each parameter, a robust estimation can be obtained through a hierarchical Bayesian model. Consideration of not only the characteristics of each seasonal periods but also the interactions between characteristics from multiple seasonalities becomes possible through this model. Our new model is implemented in Stan and considerable improvements in prediction accuracy compared to previous models are achieved. Previous models include Fourier decomposition which Prophet uses to model seasonalities. Comparison has been performed on real-world dataset from a nation-scale logistic network.

description: It has been proposed that a galaxy's nova rate might be enhanced by the production of nova progenitor binaries in the dense cores of its globular clusters (GCs). To explore this idea, relative nova rates in three Virgo elliptical galaxies, M87, M49, and M84, which have significantly different GC specific frequencies (SN) of 14, 3.6, and 1.6, respectively, were measured over the course of 4 epochs spanning a period of 14 months. To simplify the analysis, observations of the nearly equidistant galaxies were made on the same nights, with the same integration times, and through the same filter (Hα), so that the relative numbers of novae discovered would reflect the relative nova rates. At the conclusion of our survey we found a total of 27 novae associated with M87, 37 with M49, and 19 with M84. After correcting for survey completeness, we found annual nova rates of , , and , for M87, M49, and M84, respectively, corresponding to K-band luminosity-specific nova rates of 3.8 ± 1.0, 3.4 ± 0.6, and 3.0 ± 0.6 novae per year per . The overall results of our study suggest that a galaxy's nova rate simply scales with its luminosity, and is insensitive to its GC specific frequency. Two novae, one in M87 and one in M84, were found to be spatially coincident with known GCs. After correcting for the mass fraction in GCs, we estimate that novae are likely enhanced relative to the field by at least an order of magnitude in the GC systems of luminous Virgo ellipticals.
Co-occurring aggressive and depressive symptoms as related to overestimations of competence in children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Research indicates that on average, children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) overestimate their competence in various domains. ADHD also frequently co-occurs with disorders involving aggressive and depressive symptoms, which themselves seem to influence estimations of self-competence in social, academic, and behavioural domains. In particular, high levels of aggressive behaviour are generally associated with overestimations of competence, and high levels of depressive symptoms are related to underestimations of competence. This paper reviews studies of overestimations of competence among children with ADHD, and examines the extent to which comorbid aggressive or depressive symptoms may be influencing these estimates. Although significant challenges arise due to limited information regarding comorbidities and problematic methods used to assess overestimations of competence, existing evidence suggests that ADHD may be associated with overestimations of competence over and above co-occurring aggression. As well, studies suggest that comorbid depression may reduce the appearance of overestimations of competence in children with ADHD. Underlying mechanisms (e.g., neurpsychological deficits or self-protection) of overestimations in children with ADHD are discussed, each with particular clinical implications for the assessment and treatment of ADHD. Future research would do well to carefully consider and explicitly describe the comorbid aggressive and depressive characteristics among individuals with ADHD when overestimations of competence are examined.

Applying articial neural network techniques to the ARMA model
Creators: name: Rose, Nathan
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: ARMA models and Artificial Neural Networks are commonly used approaches for forecasting timeseries. ARMA models are accurate and efficient, but difficult to use and inflexible to implement. Artificial Neural Networks are less efficient, but more flexible and easier to train. This thesis proposes a novel neural network, the ARMA-ANN, which is mathematically equivalent to the ARMA model, but trainable with commonly used neural network techniques. The ARMA-ANN was developed through a series of exploratory experiments, which evaluated different structures and training methods. It was tested against the forecasting ability of the ARMA model, producing results that were equivalent or better, especially in the case of larger models and real-time training. (note: 'ARMA' should be pronounced as a word phonetically, while 'ANN' is an acronym and should be pronounced as the three letters).
Parental ADHD Symptoms and Self-Reports of Positive Parenting

description: Objective: In 2 studies, we tested whether parental attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms are associated with self-reports of more positive parenting, even after accounting for observed positive parenting behaviors. Method: In Study 1, 96 mothers with sons 8 –11 years of age participated; 44% of the boys were diagnosed with ADHD. The majority of mothers and sons were European Caucasian. In Study 2, 48 parents (24 mother–father pairs) with children 6 –12 years of age participated. All children in Study 2 were diagnosed with ADHD, and 75% of the children were boys. More than 90% of the families were Caucasian. In both studies, parents self-reported on their positive parenting, and positive parenting was observed in parent– child interactions. Results: In models including relevant demographic variables, other parental psychopathologies, and both inattentive and hyperactive/impulsive symptoms, parents with higher levels of hyperactive/impulsive symptoms self-reported engaging in significantly more positive parenting behaviors than were observed. Parental inattentive symptoms were not uniquely associated with self-reports of positive parenting. This pattern was found for both mothers and fathers, and across families with and without children diagnosed with ADHD. Conclusions: Results suggest that high levels of parental ADHD symptoms may be associated with over-estimation of positive parenting behaviors. Reasons for the distinction between the types of ADHD symptoms associated with higher self-reports of positive parenting and the clinical implications of the findings are discussed.
Spin-orbit optomechanics of space-variant birefringent media
Creators: name: Hakobyan, Davit
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This work focuses on angular optomechanics driven by the spin-orbit interaction of light, using inhomogeneous and anisotropic media as model systems and different kinds of such material systems are considered in practice. In particular, we use nematic liquid crystal defects and report on the direct experimental observation of spin-orbit optical radiation torque that leads to distortion of molecular orientation pattern of the defects. Then, by using solid-state spin-orbit couplers of arbitrary order made of artificially nanostructured glasses, we unveil an optical torque reversal phenomenon that is the angular counterpart of so-called optical negative forces. This counterintuitive optomechanical effect is experimentally retrieved, in an indirect manner, via rotational Doppler frequency shift experiments. Finally, we report on our attempts to build up an experimental framework allowing the direct observation of optical torque reversal. Several options are considered, which include both metallic and dielectric approaches and involve sample miniaturization that has been explored at the millimeter and micrometer scale.

description: An advantage of modeling data as a graph – as opposed to a relational data model – is that data graph does not require a data schema from the very beginning. Hence graph data is often loaded from external sources with ad-hoc mappings. However, a Knowledge Graph is mostly understood as a data graph enhanced with a schema, a mechanism to distinguish between data and meta-data and sometimes even axioms/rules. Schemata are of great benefit as they describe the structure and semantics of the data in the graph. KG schemata enable Different views at various levels of abstraction for a better overview, Explicit and therefore exchangeable meaning of the graph data, Higher query performance, Reasoning by means of axioms/rules. The tutorial will explain the various schema modeling options for Labeled Property as well as RDF graph data models. We describe the different ways of representing schema information in both models and whether those models are embedded in the data graph or layered above it. Furthermore, we discuss similarities and mutual correspondences as well as advantages and shortcomings of the two graph models. The tutorial will demonstrate tools for the development, maintenance and review of schemas and exemplarily show how to develop and refine KG schemata in both models. In addition, attendees will have the opportunity to work with available KGs and tools to get hands-on experience.

description: When an emergency event, or an incident relevant for peacekeeping or humanitarian needs first occurs, getting the right information as quickly as possible is critical in saving lives. When an event is ongoing, information on what is happening can be critical in making decisions to keep people safe and take control of the particular situation unfolding. In both cases, first responders, peacekeepers, and others have to quickly make decisions that include what resources to deploy and where. Fortunately, in most emergencies, people use social media to publicly share information. At the same time, sensor data is increasingly becoming available. But a platform to detect emergency situations and deliver the right information has to deal with ingesting thousands of noisy data points per second: sifting through and identifying relevant information, from different sources, in different formats, with varying levels of detail, in real time, so that relevant individuals and teams can be alerted at the right level and at the right time. In this talk we will describe the technical challenges in processing vast amounts of heterogeneous, noisy data in real time from the web and other sources, with a particular emphasis on how Knowledge Graph technology enables us to make sense of this wealth of information. We will highlight the importance of a human-centered approach to entity and relationship collection and curation, and the benefits of complementing that approach with selected information from publicly available Knowledge Graphs. Finally, we will touch on the use of Knowledge Graph entities and relationships and ML/DL to achieve world-class event detection from public multimodal data.

description: Child empathy was examined as a moderator of the relations between positive and negative parenting behavior and child conduct problems. Participants were 56 mother-child dyads (child age M = 10.8 years; 64% male) and children were recruited with a range of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms. Parenting was assessed by direct observations of mothers’ praise and criticism during parent-child interactions and child empathy was measured with mother report. Child conduct problems were assessed via observation and mother-report measures, and a composite variable was created. In regression analyses, child ADHD symptoms were uniquely related to child conduct problems. Second, as hypothesized, child empathy moderated the relations between parenting and conduct problems. Mother praise was negatively related to child conduct problems at lower levels of child empathy, but this relation was not significant at higher levels of child empathy. On the contrary, mother criticism was positively related to child conduct problems at high levels of child empathy, but this relation was not significant at low levels of empathy. The results suggest that different types of parenting behavior may be differentially beneficial to children, depending on their level of empathy.

description: Many rural communities across Canada are facing challenges to the sustainability of core emergency and acute care health services, primarily due to problems with medical and nursing staffing. Data related to service efficacy and effectiveness are not well organized. Most of Canada still relies on reporting by large geopolitical areas (local health areas) that do not always relate natural catchment population outcomes to community hospital services. Re-organizing rural health services’ outcome reporting by the characteristics of geographically defined catchment populations would facilitate better planning, systemic quality improvement and stronger continuing professional development for health professionals. It may also serve to inform the transformation of core health services in larger communities. Résumé Plusieurs communautés rurales au Canada font face à des défis en termes de durabilité des services essentiels de santé d’urgence et des soins de courte durée, principalement en raison de problèmes de personnel médical et infirmer. Les données sur l’efficacité et l’efficience des services ne sont pas bien organisées. Dans la majeure partie du Canada, le traitement des données est encore lié à de grandes régions géopolitiques (circonscriptions sanitaires), ce qui ne permet pas toujours d’associer les résultats d’un bassin naturel de population aux services hospitaliers communautaires. En réorganisant la production de résultats dans les services de santé ruraux selon les caractéristiques des bassins de population définis géographiquement, il serait plus facile de procéder à la planification, à l’amélioration de la qualité du système et à un meilleur perfectionnement professionnel continu pour le personnel. Cela pourrait aussi permettre d’éclairer la réorganisation des services de santé essentiels dans les plus grandes communautés.

description: With the advancement of computational network science, its research scope has significantly expanded beyond static graphs to encompass more complex structures. The introduction of streaming, temporal, multilayer, and hypernetwork approaches has brought new possibilities and imposed additional requirements. For instance, by utilising these advancements, one can model structures such as social networks in a much more refined manner, which is particularly relevant in simulations of the spreading processes. Unfortunately, the pace of advancement is often too rapid for existing computational packages to keep up with the functionality updates. This results in a significant proliferation of tools used by researchers and, consequently, a lack of a universally accepted technological stack that would standardise experimental methods (as seen, e.g. in machine learning). This article addresses that issue by presenting an extended version of the Network Diffusion library. First, a survey of the existing approaches and toolkits for simulating spreading phenomena is shown and then, an overview of the framework functionalities. Finally, we report four case studies conducted with the package to demonstrate its usefulness: the impact of sanitary measures on the spread of COVID-19, the comparison of information diffusion on two temporal network models, and the effectiveness of seed selection methods in the task of influence maximisation in multilayer networks. We conclude the paper with a critical assessment of the library and the outline of still awaiting challenges to standardise research environments in computational network science.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Ovarian cellular fibromas are uncommon neoplasms which may result in considerable diagnostic confusion with diffuse adult granulosa cell tumour. This is an important distinction since the former usually exhibits benign behaviour while the latter is a low grade malignant neoplasm capable of recurrence and metastasis. FOXL2 mutation (402C→ G) has been demonstrated in >95% of ovarian adult granulosa cell tumours, only rarely in other ovarian sex cord-stromal neoplasms and never in ovarian fibromas. In this study, we evaluated a series of ovarian cellular fibromas or mitotically active cellular fibromas (n=22), 3 with minor sex cord elements, for FOXL2 mutation. These were mostly received in consultation, often with a differential diagnosis of diffuse adult granulosa cell tumour. Immunohistochemically, 10 of 10 cases tested exhibited nuclear staining with FOXL2. FOXL2 (402C→ G) mutation was not demonstrated in any of the 22 cellular or mitotically active cellular fibromas. Three additional neoplasms composed of cellular nodules of epithelioid cells in a background fibrous stroma, raising the possibility of adult granulosa cell tumour with a prominent fibrothecomatous component, were also tested; 2 of these were mutation negative and 1 contained a FOXL2 mutation. FOXL2 mutation analysis is a useful adjunct in distinguishing between diffuse adult granulosa cell tumour (mutation present) and cellular fibroma (mutation absent). Mutation testing should be considered in problematic cases since this will provide prognostic information for the patient.
Inelastic Deformation and Microcracking Process in Human Dentin

description: Dentin is a mineralized collagen tissue with robust mechanical performance. Understanding the mechanical behaviour of dentin and its relations to the dentinal structure can provide insight into the design strategies to achieve tooth functions. This study focuses on the inelastic deformation of human dentin and its underlying mechanisms. By combining four-point bending tests with fluorescent staining and laser scanning confocal microscopy, it was found that human dentin, especially root dentin, exhibited significant inelastic deformation and developed extensive microdamage in the form of microcracks prior to fracture. Similar to bone, dense and wavy microcracks spread uniformly across the tensile surface of root dentin, while compressive microcracks formed cross-hatched patterns. The presence of peritubular dentin in coronal dentin dramatically decreased the extent of microcracking, reducing inelasticity. Dentinal tubules were found to be initiation sites of both tensile and compressive microcracks. A unique crack propagation process was observed in root dentin under tension: numerous ring-shaped cracks formed at each dentinal tubule ahead of a growing crack tip. The advance of the tensile microcrack occured by the merging of those ring-shaped cracks. The current findings on the microcracking process associated with inelastic deformation helps to understand the nature of strength and toughness in dentin, as well as the mechanical significance for structural variations across the whole tooth.
