description: Given that early adolescence is a dynamic and vulnerable developmental period, it is important to examine factors that promote adolescents’ individual development and, more specifically, the satisfaction of psychological needs within the framework of self-determination theory. In a two-wave longitudinal sample (N = 218) of Greek adolescents (eighth grade in autumn 2020 and ninth grade in autumn 2021), we used structural equation modeling to determine which individual and social factors longitudinally predict autonomy, competence, and relatedness. The examination of these psychological needs is regarded as a necessary step in designing school-based prevention and intervention programs for adolescents. Individual factors, such as self-esteem, self-efficacy, and depression or anxiety, foster self-determination through social factors, such as recognition and support from teacher and parents, and social resources. Adolescents with a migration background showed lower levels of social factors. The model was gender invariant and indicated that social agents (teachers and parents) and social resources predict a very large proportion of variance in early adolescents’ individual development. These findings support the view that early adolescents’ development depends on social factors through the satisfaction of psychological needs.

description: This practice-led research masters produced four musical compositions exploring concepts of Perspectivism, musical minimalist aesthetics and improvisation to create contrasting sonic environments in a site-specific performance space. The compositions, which combine live acoustic performance with live & pre-composed electronic performance, all adopt a particular spatial approach I call The Triadic Space Layout, in which the musicians and loudspeakers are ‘fractured’ between three rooms, creating distinct yet related sonic environments. Through an iterative process of reflective practice, two broad compositional approaches were settled upon, termed Sonic Environmental Perspectivism and Improvisational Perspectivism. This exegesis describes four final compositions that represent the culmination of this process of reflective practice, and demonstrate these compositional approaches. Compositions Lady Fanboy and Snorkel’s Dark Room sonically distinguish each room of The Triadic Space Layout through either harmonic or tonal registers of the pre-composed electronics. These compositions utilise graphic scores to guide the musicians’ performances. This approach is titled Sonic Environmental Perspectivism. SWEET SWEET and Dancing Squares utilise the musicians’ improvisations to sonically differentiate each room as they receive identical pre-composed electronic music. This compositional approach was titled Improvisational Perspectivism.

description: Charge density waves are ubiquitous phenomena in metallic transition metal dichalcogenides. In NbSe$_2$, a triangular $3\times3$ structural modulation is coupled to a charge modulation. Recent experiments reported evidence for a triangular-stripe transition at the surface, due to strain or accidental doping and associated to a $4\times4$ modulation. We employ \textit{ab-initio} calculations to investigate the strain-induced structural instabilities in a pristine single layer and analyse the energy hierarchy of the structural and charge modulations. Our results support the observation of phase separation between triangular and stripe phases in 1H-NbSe$_2$, relating the stripe phase to compressive isotropic strain, favouring the $4\times4$ modulation. The observed wavelength of the charge modulation is also reproduced with good accuracy.

description: The grounded theory of Fusioning was developed during a study of participatory governance in community-based protected area management in Nepal. This study reveals that local communities have successfully conserved biodiversity in the Annapurna Conservation Area in Nepal by embedding and fusing traditional, indigenous and contemporary governance principles and values to achieve internationally recognised conservation goals. This embedding and fusioning was supported by government, national and international non-governmental organisations. Local communities were empowered with regard to livelihood needs, biodiversity conservation and sustainable community development practices and processes. The significant innovation in the theory of fusioning was the indigenising of a number of conservation and development processes to generate community trust and ownership. This achieved what has been called fusion governance. Traditional and indigenous informal institutions and their resource management practices were driving forces in governing the contemporary conservation practices. This research was designed within the interpretive social science paradigm. Consistent with this paradigm, a qualitative research methodology was employed, drawing on the traditions of interpretivism and phenomenology. The study reflected a strong axiological positioning with regard to developing a Nepali methodology. Findings presented in this study are based on five sets of empirical material which are: oral history interviews, semi-structured interviews, participant observation, documentary materials and chalphal, discussion forums which were embedded within indigenous epistemological perspectives and interpreted using grounded theory. Grounded theory was used to interpret the empirical materials and to generate the theory of fusioning. Fusioning explains the social process of local community engagement in conservation and development in the Annapurna Conservation Area, Nepal. Community-based protected area management is significant to local communities, as well as national and international conservation agencies. This research has also applied eastern, specifically Nepali methodological perspectives which serve to complement western-based methodologies and methods. Further, the practice of fusioning has contributed to local sustainability through effective protected area management in a way which could be applied elsewhere in Nepal and worldwide.

description: We present the new version of OpenLoops, an automated generator of tree and one-loop scattering amplitudes based on the open-loop recursion. One main novelty of OpenLoops 2 is the extension of the original algorithm from NLO QCD to the full Standard Model, including electroweak (EW) corrections from gauge, Higgs and Yukawa interactions. In this context, among several new features, we discuss the systematic bookkeeping of QCD-EW interferences, a flexible implementation of the complex-mass scheme for processes with on-shell and off-shell unstable particles, a special treatment of on-shell and off-shell external photons, and efficient scale variations. The other main novelty is the implementation of the recently proposed on-the-fly reduction algorithm, which supersedes the usage of external reduction libraries for the calculation of tree-loop interferences. This new algorithm is equipped with an automated system that avoids Gram-determinant instabilities through analytic methods in combination with a new hybrid-precision approach based on a highly targeted usage of quadruple precision with minimal CPU overhead. The resulting significant speed and stability improvements are especially relevant for challenging NLO multi-leg calculations and for NNLO applications.

Atmospheric Lensing and Oblateness Effects During an Extrasolar Planetary Transit
Creators: name: Hui, Lam

Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Future high precision photometric measurements of transiting extrasolar planets promise to tell us much about the nature of these systems. We examine how atmospheric lensing and (projected) planet oblateness/ellipticity modify transit light curves. The large density gradients expected in planet atmospheres can offset the unfavorably large observer-lens to source-lens distance ratio, and allow the existence of caustics. Under such conditions, starlight from all points in the planet's shadow is refracted into view producing a characteristic slowing down of the dimming at ingress (vice versa for egress). A search over several parameters, the planet radius etc., cannot produce a nonlensed transit light curve that can mimic a lensed light curve. The fractional change in the diminution of starlight is approximately the ratio of atmospheric scale height to planet radius, expected to be 1 % or less. Planet oblateness induces an asymmetry to the transit light curve about the point of minimum flux, depending on the planet orientation. The fractional asymmetry is around 0.5 % for a projected ellipticity of 10 %, independent of lensing. For favorable ratios of planet to star radius, the above effects are potentially observable with future space-based missions. This will allow us to constrain the planet shape, and its atmospheric scale height, density and refractive coefficient, providing information on its rotation, temperature and composition. For HD 209458b, the only currently known transiting extrasolar planet, caustics are absent because of the very small lens-source separation. Finally, we provide estimates of other variations to transit light curves that could be of comparable importance, including rings, satellites, stellar oscillations, star spots, and weather.

description: This paper focuses on the design of an optimal resource allocation scheme to maximize the energy efficiency (EE) in a simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) enabled two-way decode-and-forward (DF) relay network under a non-linear energy harvesting model. In particular, we formulate an optimization problem by jointly optimizing the transmit powers of two source nodes, the power-splitting (PS) ratios of the relay, and the time for the source-relay transmission, under multiple constraints including the transmit power constraints at sources and the minimum rate requirement. Although the formulated problem is non-convex, an iterative algorithm is developed to obtain the optimal resource allocation. Simulation results verify the proposed algorithm and show that the designed resource allocation scheme is superior to other benchmark schemes in terms of EE.

description: The enormous financial success of online advertising platforms is partially due to the precise targeting features they offer. Although researchers and journalists have found many ways that advertisers can target---or exclude---particular groups of users seeing their ads, comparatively little attention has been paid to the implications of the platform's ad delivery process, comprised of the platform's choices about which users see which ads. It has been hypothesized that this process can "skew" ad delivery in ways that the advertisers do not intend, making some users less likely than others to see particular ads based on their demographic characteristics. In this paper, we demonstrate that such skewed delivery occurs on Facebook, due to market and financial optimization effects as well as the platform's own predictions about the "relevance" of ads to different groups of users. We find that both the advertiser's budget and the content of the ad each significantly contribute to the skew of Facebook's ad delivery. Critically, we observe significant skew in delivery along gender and racial lines for "real" ads for employment and housing opportunities despite neutral targeting parameters. Our results demonstrate previously unknown mechanisms that can lead to potentially discriminatory ad delivery, even when advertisers set their targeting parameters to be highly inclusive. This underscores the need for policymakers and platforms to carefully consider the role of the ad delivery optimization run by ad platforms themselves---and not just the targeting choices of advertisers---in preventing discrimination in digital advertising.

description: Multi-spinning higher dimensional Kerr-AdS black holes admit the stable small-large black hole phase transition of van der Waals type. In this paper, we study the exact critical phenomena and phase structure in five-dimensional spacetime. First, we examine the thermodynamic laws in the reduced parameter space and find that they are quite different from the conventional thermodynamic laws. Then based on the reduced laws, the phase structure in different parameter spaces is investigated. The stable and metastable black hole phases are clearly displayed. We present a highly accurate fitting formula for the coexistence curve of small and large black hole phases. Using this fitting formula, we examine the critical exponents when the black hole system approaches the critical point along the coexistence curve. Moreover, employing the dimensional analysis and symmetry analysis, we also give a numerical study of the critical point for the unequal spinning black holes. These results are very useful on further understanding the microstructure of the multi-spinning black holes in higher dimensional spacetime.

title: Capabilities, International Order and Risk: State Failure and Governance Intervention in Theory and History

Subjects: subject: State failure
subject: Governance intervention

description: This study examines the phenomenon of “failed” states and governance intervention in comparative historical and international systemic context. The dissertation argues that state failure is a condition partly constructed by the leading actors of international society. The study advances a three-part framework for analysis to understand how leading states and their close allies interpret what constitutes a state failure and how an interventionist policy response is formulated. Interpretations of state failure and modes of governance intervention are based on the interplay of transnational disorder with the (1) distribution of capabilities in the international system, the (2) pattern of order in the international society, and the (3) sensitivity of the domestic polities of leading actors to risk. This framework for analysis is applied to three qualitative case studies of state “failure” and “governance” intervention selected on system polarity: the 1882 British occupation of Egypt; the United States combat intervention in South Vietnam, 1965; and Australia’s Regional Assistance Mission to the Solomon Islands (RAMSI) in 2003.

title: The Impact of Cause-Related Marketing on Consumer Attitude to the Brand and Purchase Intention: A Comparison with Sponsorship and Sales Promotion

description: Cause-related marketing is an emerging area within the marketing discipline, originating in the United States in the 1980s. This thesis defines the term cause-related marketing as a marketing strategy whereby the firm makes a contribution, financial or otherwise, to a nonprofit organisation(s) contingent upon the customer engaging in a revenue providing exchange that satisfies business and individual objectives. This strategy may include additional elements such as sponsorship, sales promotion, co-branding and employee involvement. -- In examining the literature relating to cause-related marketing, a need for further research was identified for a number of reasons. First, there is considerable investment and growth in this strategy both in Australia and overseas. Second, academic and practitioner research have indicated strong consumer support for the concept of cause-related marketing, yet there has been limited evidence to date regarding the effectiveness of this strategy, especially in comparison to other marketing strategies. Finally, in an increasingly challenging business environment, marketing practitioners are seeking to explore new strategies and the efficacy of traditional forms of marketing communications is subject to debate. As such, this thesis explored the following research questions: What is the impact of cause-related marketing on the consumer's response in terms of attitude to the strategy, attitude toward the brand and purchase intention? Do consumers respond more positively toward cause-related marketing than toward sponsorship or sales promotion? To address these questions, an experimental research design incorporating self-administered questionnaires was used. The major finding of this research is that consumers may have a more favourable attitude to cause-related marketing than to either sponsorship or sales promotion, however the brand must be perceived to have a natural association or fit with the cause. Further, cause-related marketing has the ability to engender a more favourable change in attitude to the brand than does sales promotion. This change in attitude is affected by the consumer's attitude to the strategy itself. This study did not, however, demonstrate that exposure to cause-related marketing, sponsorship or sales promotion had a significant effect on purchase intention. Finally, neither gender nor personal values have been shown to influence the above outcomes. The findings of this research have a number of practical implications for the effective use of cause-related marketing.

A precision of $δm/m = 9 \cdot 10^{-10}$ and $δm/m = 1.5 \cdot 10^{-9}$ was reached for the masses of $^{21}$Na and $^{23}$Mg, respectively. We reduce the uncertainty of the $Q_{\textrm{EC}}$ values by a factor five, making them the most precise experimental input data for the calculation of the corrected $\mathcal{F} t$-value of these mixed Fermi/Gamow-Teller transitions. For the $^{21}$Na$\rightarrow^{21}$Ne $Q_{\textrm{EC}}$ value, a $2.3 σ$ deviation from the literature $Q_{\textrm{EC}}$-value was found.

Creators: name: Chelsky, Ariella
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Jellyfish ecology
subject: Jellyfish blooms
subject: Jellyfish carrion

description: Jellyfish are distributed globally and often form blooms that last from weeks to months before they collapse. While blooms are sustained they can play an important role in carbon and nutrient cycling and can influence key ecosystem processes. When they collapse, the organic matter assimilated into their biomass is released into the system suddenly. This rapid input of organic matter could have significant implications for pelagic and benthic environments, however, post-bloom processes have rarely been studied. Furthermore, no work has investigated how rates of decomposition may alter with changing climate. Understanding how decomposition dynamics will change in the future has become increasingly important in light of recently observed shifts in the frequency of jellyfish blooms. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the ecological and biogeochemical effects of the decomposition of jellyfish carrion in pelagic and benthic environments. Decomposition dynamics were also investigated under present day and end-of-century conditions to resolve how rates of remineralisation will change with increasing temperature and ocean acidification. The rate of pelagic remineralisation of jellyfish carrion was investigated under present day and end-of-century temperatures (Chapter 2) to assess how climate change may influence the decomposition of jellyfish as they sink through the water column. The rate of microbial respiration increased with a 3°C increase in temperature, however, estimates of the overall quantity and quality of the gelatinous material reaching the benthos did not change significantly. Furthermore, after six days (a conservative estimate of the time it takes jellyfish carrion to sink to the benthos in the deep sea), the majority of the gelatinous tissue remained. Hence, most jellyfish carrion is likely to flux to the seafloor, under both present day and end-of-century temperature conditions, even for slow sinking carcasses in deep-water systems.
Inter-galactic Shock Acceleration and the Cosmic Gamma-ray Background

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We investigate numerically the contribution to the cosmic gamma-ray background from cosmic-rays ions and electrons accelerated at intergalactic shocks associated with cosmological structure formation. We show that the kinetic energy of accretion flows in the low-red-shift inter-galactic medium is thermalized primarily through moderately strong shocks, which allow for an efficient conversion of shock ram pressure into cosmic-ray pressure. Cosmic-rays accelerated at these shocks produce a diffuse gamma-ray flux which is dominated by inverse Compton emission from electrons scattering off cosmic microwave background photons. Decay of neutral pi-mesons generated in p-p inelastic collisions of the ionic cosmic-ray component with the thermal gas contribute about 30% of the computed emission. Based on experimental upper limits on the photon flux above 100 MeV from nearby clusters we constrain the efficiency of conversion of shock ram pressure into relativistic CR electrons to < 1%. Thus, we find that cosmic-rays of cosmological origin can generate an overall significant fraction of order 20% and no more than 30% of the measured gamma-ray background.

description: Constrained-energy underwater acoustic nodes are typically connected via a multi-hop underwater acoustic network (MHUAN) to cover a broad marine region. Recently, protocols for efficiently connecting such nodes have received considerable attention. In this paper, we show that the time reversal (TR) process plays an important role in the medium access control (MAC) because of its physical capability to exploit the multi-path energy from the richly scattering underwater environment, as well as to focus the signal energy in both spatial and temporal domains. In MHUANs, with severe multi-path propagation at the physical layer, the active TR process spatially focuses the signals to the location of the intended receiver; this significantly diminishes the interference among parallel links. We propose an active TR-based MAC protocol for MHUANs, with the aim of minimizing collision and maximizing channel utilization simultaneously. Furthermore, by considering the impact of the cross-correlation between different links on the TR-based medium access, we derive the threshold of the link cross-correlation to resolve collision caused by the high cross-correlation between realistic links. We perform simulations using the OPNET and BELLHOP environments, and show that the proposed TR-based MAC results in significantly improved throughput, decreased delay, and reduced data drop ratio in MHUANs.

The unpredictable events such as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in the USA (2005), extreme flooding in January 2011 in South-East Queensland, Cyclones Oswald (2013) and Marcia (2015) in Queensland had severe impacts upon the road infrastructure. These roads are now subject to a wider range of climatic conditions over their service life than was originally anticipated during their design. To date, no deterioration model can accurately predict the impact of floods on pavements. To understand the impact of January 2011 flood on the structural performance of flood affected pavements, Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) deflection data and surface condition data (rutting and roughness), on flood-affected roads managed by Brisbane City Council, Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR), Queensland and Roads and Maritime Services, New South Wales (RMS, NSW), Australia, were collected and examined.

description: The triboelectric effect, charge transfer during sliding, is well established but the thermodynamic driver is not well understood. We hypothesize here that flexoelectric potential differences induced by inhomogeneous strains at nanoscale asperities drive tribocharge separation. Modelling single asperity elastic contacts suggests that nanoscale flexoelectric potential differences of $\pm$1-10 V or larger arise during indentation and pull-off. This hypothesis agrees with several experimental observations, including bipolar charging during stick-slip, inhomogeneous tribocharge patterns, charging between similar materials, and surface charge density measurements.
title: Hollow-Bearing Trees as a Habitat Resource along an Urbanisation Gradient
Creators: name: Treby, Donna Louise
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Hollow-bearing trees
subject: Habitat fragmentation

description: Habitat fragmentation due to rapid urbanisation is occurring globally and results in small and often isolated patches of remnant bushland. These small, forest remnants contribute to the conservation of biodiversity within urban areas, as they can, and often do, contain suitable habitat structures. Habitat structures such as hollow-bearing trees are recognised as important features of forests globally. Therefore, the abundance of hollow-bearing trees within a landscape may be a controlling factor for many biota where no other habitat resources provide a feasible substitute. Therein, this thesis investigates five aspects in relation to the ecology of hollow-bearing trees as a habitat resource within a rapidly urbanising landscape. In the first instance a review of the literature was undertaken. This presents a summary of the importance of hollow-bearing trees globally, and identifies threats associated with their conservation. Focus is centred on the importance of this habitat resource within the Australian context, concluding with a description of the study area and thesis aims. A hierarchical analysis of the current legislation that exists within Australia to protect hollowbearing trees was then undertaken. The evaluation revealed, that despite Federal and State legislation acknowledging the importance of hollow-bearing trees to biodiversity, there are insufficient mechanisms in place at all levels of government to halt the decline of hollowbearing trees across various landscapes.

description: We consider the dissipative SQG equation in bounded domains, first introduced by Constantin and Ignatova in 2016. We show global Holder regularity up to the boundary of the solution, with a method based on the De Giorgi techniques. The boundary introduces several difficulties. In particular, the Dirichlet Laplacian is not translation invariant near the boundary, which leads to complications involving the Riesz transform.

The internal structure of the lens PG1115+080: breaking degeneracies in the value of the Hubble Constant
Creators: name: Treu, Tommaso

description: We combine lensing, stellar kinematic and mass-to-light ratio constraints to build a two-component (luminous plus dark) mass model of the early-type lens galaxy in PG1115+080. We find a total mass density profile steeper than r^-2, effectively rho r^-gamma' with gamma'=2.35+-0.1+-0.05 (random + systematic). The stellar mass fraction is f*=0.67(+0.20/-0.25)+-0.03 inside the Einstein Radius (R_E 1.2 effective radii). The dynamical mass model breaks the degeneracies in the mass profile of the lens galaxy and allows us to obtain a value of the Hubble Constant that is no longer dominated by systematic errors: H_0=59(+12/-7)+-3 km/s/Mpc (68 percent C.L.; Omega_m=0.3, Omega_L=0.7). The offset of PG1115+080 from the Fundamental Plane might indicate deviations from homology of the mass profile of some early-type galaxies.

description: The propagation of a gravitational wave (GW) through a magnetized plasma is considered. In particular, we study the excitation of fast magnetosonic waves (MSW) by a gravitational wave, using the linearized general-relativistic hydromagnetic equations. We derive the dispersion relation for the plasma, treating the gravitational wave as a perturbation in a Minkowski background space-time. We show that the presence of gravitational waves will drive magnetosonic waves in the plasma and discuss the potential astrophysical implications.

description: The powerful narrow jets observed to emanate from many compact accreting objects may arise from the twisting of a magnetic field threading a differentially rotating accretion disk which acts to magnetically extract angular momentum and energy from the disk. Two main regimes have been discussed, {\it hydromagnetic outflows}, which have a significant mass flux and have energy and angular momentum carried by both the matter and the electromagnetic field and, Poynting outflows, where the mass flux is negligible and energy and angular momentum are carried predominantly by the electromagnetic field. Here we consider a Keplerian disk initially threaded by a dipole-like magnetic field and we present solutions of the force-free Grad-Shafranov equation for the coronal plasma. We find solutions with Poynting jets where there is a continuous outflow of energy and toroidal magnetic flux from the disk into the external space. This behavior contradicts the commonly accepted ``theorem'' of Solar plasma physics that the motion of the footpoints of a magnetic loop structure leads to a stationary magnetic field configuration with zero power and flux outflows. In addition we discuss recent magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations which establish that quasi-stationary collimated Poynting jets similar to our Grad-Shafranov solutions arise from the inner part of a disk threaded by a dipole-like magnetic field. At the same time we find that there is a steady uncollimated hydromagnetic outflow from the outer part of the disk. The Poynting jets represent a likely model for the jets from active galactic nuclei, microquasars, and gamma ray burst sources.

description: We discuss the physical mechanisms that promote or suppress the nucleation of a fluid-filled lumen inside a cell assembly or a tissue. We discuss lumen formation in a continuum theory of tissue material properties in which the tissue is described as a two-fluid system to account for its permeation by the interstitial fluid, and we include fluid pumping as well as active electric effects. Considering a spherical geometry and a polarized tissue, our work shows that fluid pumping and tissue flexoelectricity play a crucial role in lumen formation. We furthermore explore the large variety of long-time states that are accessible for the cell aggregate and its lumen. Our work reveals a role of the coupling of mechanical, electrical and hydraulic phenomena in tissue lumen formation.
