Subjects: BIO/01 Botanica generale

description: Nowadays microalgae are studied, and a number of species already mass-cultivated, for their application in many fields: food and feed, chemicals, pharmaceutical, phytoremediation and renewable energy. Phytoremediation, in particular, can become a valid integrated process in many algae biomass production systems.
This thesis is focused on the physiological and biochemical effects of different environmental factors, mainly macronutrients, lights and temperature on microalgae. Microalgal species have been selected on the basis of their potential in biotechnologies, and nitrogen occurs in all chapters due to its importance in physiological and applicative fields. 
There are 5 chapters, ready or in preparation to be submitted, with different specific matters: (i) to measure the kinetic parameters and the nutrient removal efficiencies for a selected and local strain of microalgae; (ii) to study the biochemical pathways of the microalga D. communis in presence of nitrate and ammonium; (iii) to improve the growth and the removal efficiency of a specific green microalga in mixotrophic conditions; (iv) to optimize the productivity of some microalgae with low growth-rate conditions through phytohormones and other biostimulants; and (v) to apply the phyto-removal of ammonium in an effluent from anaerobic digestion.
From the results it is possible to understand how a physiological point of view is necessary to provide and optimize already existing biotechnologies and applications with microalgae.

description: RESEARCH BACKGROUND: In 2011, Rosalea Monacella and Craig Douglas initatied and managed 'Urban Realities', a 3-day landscape urbanism design challenge at The Docklands, a new suburb on the western fringe of Melbourne's CBD. One hundred arhictects, artists, designers and landscapers from around the world took part. A symposium at BMW Edge Federation Square theoretically interrogated how designers might approach the research agenda of the challenge. This publication, edited by Monacella and Douglas, includes transcripts of the papers presented by local and international guest speakers as well as a project overview written by the two instigators. ' RESEARCH CONTRIBUTION: The two new pieces of writing produced for this book - 'The Ambition of Urban Realities' and 'Preface' - document the scope of the design challenge and explain what it hoped to achieve: 'to challenge, re-envision, and generate alternate ways of thinking about and designing public space and our cities'. The writing, photographs and transcripts reproduced in this book provides permanent evidence of 10 ephemeral gardens that were constucted over 72 frenetic hour and a blueprint for future design challenges. RESEARCH SIGNIFICANCE: The original writing in this book documents 'Urban Realities' a project that was included in the Victorian State Government's State of Design festival. The project attracted $45,000 in external funding from City of Melbourne, VicUrban (the State Government's agency for sustainable development) developer Brookfield and more. The event recevied wide coverage in trade and specialist media. Melbourne Books is a leading commercial publisher of books on art, landscape architecture and design. 'Urban Realities' is held in the collection of the National Library of Australia.

description: Polygenic models have emerged as promising prediction tools for the prediction of complex traits. Currently, the majority of polygenic models are developed in the context of predicting disease risk, but polygenic models may also prove useful in predicting drug outcomes. This study sought to understand how polygenic models incorporating pharmacogenetic variants are being used in the prediction of drug outcomes. A systematic review was conducted with the aim of gaining insights into the methods used to construct polygenic models, as well as their performance in drug outcome prediction. The search uncovered 89 papers that incorporated pharmacogenetic variants in the development of polygenic models. It was found that the most common polygenic models were constructed for drug dosing predictions in anticoagulant therapies (n = 27). While nearly all studies found a significant association with their polygenic model and the investigated drug outcome (93.3%), less than half (47.2%) compared the performance of the polygenic model against clinical predictors, and even fewer (40.4%) sought to validate model predictions in an independent cohort. Additionally, the heterogeneity of reported performance measures makes the comparison of models across studies challenging. These findings highlight key considerations for future work in developing polygenic models in pharmacogenomic research.

description: This thesis consists of three self-contained papers. In the first paper I analyze the labor supply behavior of Bologna Pizza Delivery Vendors. Recent influential papers analyze labor supply behavior of taxi drivers (Camerer
et al., 1997; and Crawford and Meng, 2011) and suggest that reference-dependence preferences have an important influence on drivers’ labor-supply decisions. Unlike previous papers, I am able to identify an exogenous and
transitory change in labor demand. Using high frequency data on orders and rainfall as an exogenous demand shifter, I invariably find that reference-dependent
preferences play no role in their labor’ supply decisions and the behavior of pizza vendors is perfectly consistent with the predictions of the standard model of labor’
supply. In the second paper, I investigate how the voting
behavior of Members of Parliament is influenced by the Members seating nearby. By exploiting the random seating arrangements in the Icelandic Parliament, I show that
being seated next to Members of a different party increases the probability of not being aligned with one’s own party. Using the exact spatial orientation of the peers, I provide evidence that supports the hypothesis that interaction is the main channel that explain these results. In the third paper, I provide an estimate of the trade flows that there would have been between the UK and Europe if the UK had joined the Euro. As an alternative
approach to the standard log-linear gravity equation I employ the synthetic control method. I show that the aggregate trade flows between Britain and Europe
would have been 13% higher if the UK had adopted the Euro.

description: La presente ricerca si propone di delineare un orizzonte critico e filosofico che permetta di ridefinire il concetto di postmodernismo in America alla fine del XX secolo e, a partire dagli anni Novanta del Novecento, il tentativo di un suo superamento da parte della letteratura contemporanea. L’analisi si focalizza sull’opera dello scrittore David Foster Wallace che esemplifica le contraddizioni interne al postmodernismo e mostra il passaggio cruciale dal postmodernismo a una non-ancora-ben-definita letteratura contemporanea. Muovendosi in un’ottica interdisciplinare e comparata, la tesi si propone di mostrare come Wallace, riprendendo la metariflessività e alcune opere di scrittori postmodernisti, tenti un atto di liberazione dalle convenzioni postmoderne attraverso un «postmodern founders’ patricidal work»: un “parricidio” letterario, prima di accettazione e poi di superamento. Attraverso un percorso tematico, nonché strutturale, si cercherà dunque di porre in rilievo il recupero del realismo da parte di Wallace che, seppur nel suo breve periodo compositivo, rappresenta questa nuova direzione della letteratura americana.
description: This dissertation aims to redefine the concept of postmodernism in America in the late Twentieth century and – since the Nineties of the Twentieth century – the attempt of “next literary rebels” to overcome it. 
Therefore, the thesis examines the critical and philosophical horizons of postmodernism and the investigation focuses on the work of David Foster Wallace, who exemplifies the contradictions within postmodernism and shows the critical transition from postmodernism to a not-yet-well-defined contemporary literature. Under an interdisciplinary and comparative approach, this thesis aims to show how Wallace tries an act of liberation from the postmodern conventions through a “postmodern founders’ patricidal work”, a literary “patricide” by means of metafiction and intertextuality. With a thematic and structural analysis, this work emphasizes the recovery of realism by Wallace’s works that epitomizes and exemplifies this new direction of American literature.

description: The XRootD system is used to transfer, store, and cache large datasets from high-energy physics (HEP). In this study we focus on its capability as distributed on-demand storage cache. Through exploring a large set of daily log files between 2020 and 2021, we seek to understand the data access patterns that might inform future cache design. Our study begins with a set of summary statistics regarding file read operations, file lifetimes, and file transfers. We observe that the number of read operations on each file remains nearly constant, while the average size of a read operation grows over time. Furthermore, files tend to have a consistent length of time during which they remain open and are in use. Based on this comprehensive study of the cache access statistics, we developed a cache simulator to explore the behavior of caches of different sizes. Within a certain size range, we find that increasing the XRootD cache size improves the cache hit rate, yielding faster overall file access. In particular, we find that increase the cache size from 40TB to 56TB could increase the hit rate from 0.62 to 0.89, which is a significant increase in cache effectiveness for modest cost.

description: In March 2020, it was announced that the Tokyo Games would be postponed for one year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While athletes commonly face challenges in sport such as injuries, the pandemic and rescheduling of the Games was an unexpected event that had serious potential to challenge the psychological wellbeing of athletes. Furthermore, it was an event that was simultaneously experienced by all athletes preparing for the Games. It provided a novel opportunity to explore how athletes navigated this challenging environment and the subsequent potential impact on their psychological wellbeing. It also provided a unique opportunity to engage para-athletes and explore how they experienced the pandemic and postponement. This manuscript draws on a larger qualitative study of 21 Canadian athletes (14 Olympic and seven Paralympic) who were on target to compete at the 2020 Games when the postponement was announced. For this manuscript, we focus on the accounts of seven Paralympic hopefuls and their experiences of adjusting to the postponement, while attending to the unique social identities of athletes with disabilities. Adopting a constructionist lens, semi-structured interviews were conducted at two time points. Through reflexive thematic analysis, we developed three themes. “We are all in the same boat. . . or are we?” describes the Paralympic hopefuls experiences early in the pandemic and how they felt united by the Canadian response to withdraw from the Games. It then discusses how, over time, they started to understand athletes with disabilities were being inequitably impacted by the pandemic and related public health measures. “Maybe it means more to them than us” examines how their perceptions changed as they acknowledged that although all athletes were facing a disruption to their sport careers, the implications were not the same for all. “Vulnerability and the Paralympic athlete” addresses how Paralympic athletes engaged with societal narratives about risk, vulnerability and disability and what this meant for the Paralympic Movement's response to the pandemic. “Honestly, I've experienced it before” examines how the Paralympic hopefuls drew on past experiences of injury to navigate the pandemic and the protective impact on their psychological wellbeing. Findings shed light on how systemic ableism interacted with the pandemic to magnify feelings of inferiority and further marginalization but also how para-athletes drew on past experiences to navigate challenges to their psychological wellbeing.

description: La tesi si occupa di analizzare la produzione narrativa della scrittrice messicana di frontiera Cristina Rivera Garza. In particolare, si pone l'accento sull'uso della strategia dell'intertestualità. A partire dalle fondamentali teorie classiche di Julia Kristeva, Gérard Genette e molti altri, lo scopo è quello di proporre un nuovo modello interpretativo che possa considerare la peculiarità della letteratura ispano-americana e inglobare la particolarità della proposta narrativa della scrittrice in oggetto. Attraverso l'innovativo studio di Roberto González Echevarría, l'obiettivo è quello di analizzare non solo i rapporti che si stabiliscono tra opere che appartengono al sistema della letteratura, ma anche i produttivi rapporti che si stabiliscono fra testi letterari e testi che non appartengono al sistema della letteratura. In particolare si analizza: a) le relazioni tra Storia e narrazione nel romanzo storico messicano tra XX e XXI secolo; b) le relazioni tra cronaca (considerata come genere tout court e come insieme di notizie giornalistiche) e narrazione nel romanzo poliziesco messicano contemporaneo.
description: In this dissertation I investigate the narrative production of the Mexican writer Cristina Rivera Garza. In particular I focus on the strategy of intertextuality. Starting from the main classical theories by Julia Kristeva, Gérard Genette and many others, I try to present a new interpretative model of intertextuality by considering its development in Spanish American Literatures. Through the innovative study by Roberto González Echevarría, the aim is to investigate not only the intertextual relationship between works that are part of the literary system, but also to investigate the productive intertextual relationships with fiction and non-fiction narratives. In particular, I focus on: a) the intertextual relationship between History and narration, by investigating the evolution of Mexican historical novel between XX and XXI century; b) the intertextual relationship between chronicle (both as a genre and as a record of events) and narration in Mexican contemporary detective fiction.
New analytical LC-mass spectrometry methodologies for the quali-quantitative determination of natural substances and drugs in complex matrices

description: This thesis reports an integrated analytical and physicochemical approach for the study of natural substances and new drugs based on mass spectrometry techniques combined with liquid chromatography.
In particular, Chapter 1 concerns the study of Berberine a natural substance with pharmacological activity for the treatment of hepatobiliary and intestinal diseases. The first part focused on the relationships between physicochemical properties, pharmacokinetics and metabolism of Berberine and its metabolites. For this purpose a sensitive  HPLC-ES-MS/MS method have been developed, validated and used to determine these compounds during their  physicochemical properties studies and plasma levels of berberine and its metabolites including berberrubine(M1), demethylenberberine(M3), and jatrorrhizine(M4) in humans. Data show that M1, could have an efficient intestinal absorption by passive diffusion due to a keto-enol tautomerism confirmed by NMR studies and its higher plasma concentration.  In the second part of Chapter 1, a comparison between M1 and BBR in vivo biodistribution in rat has been studied.
In Chapter 2 a new HPLC-ES-MS/MS method for the simultaneous determination and quantification of glucosinolates, as glucoraphanin, glucoerucin and sinigrin, and isothiocyanates, as sulforaphane and erucin, has developed and validated. This method has been used for the analysis of functional foods enriched with vegetable extracts. 
Chapter 3 focused on a physicochemical study of the interaction between the bile acid sequestrants used in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia including colesevelam and cholestyramine with obeticolic acid (OCA), potent agonist of nuclear receptor farnesoid X (FXR). In particular, a new experimental model for the determination of equilibrium binding isotherm was developed. 
Chapter 4 focused on methodological aspects of new hard ionization coupled with liquid chromatography (Direct-EI-UHPLC-MS) not yet commercially available and potentially useful for qualitative analysis and for “transparent” molecules to soft ionization techniques. This method was applied to the analysis of several steroid derivatives.

description: BACKGROUND: This work provided a frame for taking greater risks with sound than Daniel Schlusser (the director) and I have previously, pushing action on stage from understated realism to overblown video clip through sound design and musical decisions (related to action and light). The use of subliminal sound is an element of our developed audiovisual language which seems more innovative that the other sound designs I have experienced in theatre. SIGNIFICANCE: Commissioned work. Sold out season at Melbourne Theatre Company (Melbourne's premiere theatre company). Critically acclaimed. RESEARCH CONTRIBUTION: This production had two main research foci. The first was how to activate a huge space by providing various zones of sound which can fall in and out of diegetic logic. Whilst I have explored this previously through multi-speaker distribution of sound, Menagerie offered an opportunity to take greater risks. Having spot speakers in the physical shed on stage, playing with dialogue miked vs un miked inside allowed us to shift the audience's perspective of action and play with the feel of what they were looking at. But, by bolting transducers (vibrating weights) to the tin roof, we were able to turn the whole shed into a resonant speaker - which was disorienting and odd. The second focus was on a sliding scale of sonic reality. From surreal soundscape, through diegetic sound design, to diegetic singing, diegetic music, to non diegetic soundtrack, to music video clip panto, this work has been instrumental in articulating and refining the attendant feels which accompany those choices.

description: Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) is a growth factor member of TGF-β superfamily. BMP-2 is involved in cell migration, inducing actin cytoskeleton rearrangement and chemotaxis, besides its functions in cell growth and differentiation. Previous studies have shown BMP-2 association with various types of cancer, acting during tumor growth, migration and invasiveness via various pathways. In particular, BMP-2 induces Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) with an increased cell migration and EMT markers expression in lung and colon cancer cells.

To clarify the spatio-temporal regulation of BMP-mediated signaling in EMT, in this study we aim to elucidate how BMP-2 triggers early steps of cell-cell contact dissociation and actin reorganisation. We developed a set-up for size controlled micropatterned surfaces via UV Ozone (UVO) treatment for a standardized quantification of BMP-2-mediated EMT.

description: It is demonstrated that exact diagonalization of the microscopic many-body Hamiltonian via systematic full configuration-interaction (FCI) calculations is able to predict the spectra as a function of detuning of three-electron hybrid qubits based on GaAs asymmetric double quantum dots. It is further shown that, as a result of strong inter-electron correlations, these spectroscopic patterns, including avoided crossings between states associated with different electron occupancies of the left and right wells, are inextricably related to the formation of Wigner molecules. These physical entities cannot be captured by the previously employed independent-particle or Hubbard-type theoretical modeling of the hybrid qubit. We report remarkable agreement with recent experimental results. Moreover, the present FCI methodology for multi-well quantum dots can be straightforwardly extended to treat Si/SiGe hybrid qubits, where the central role of Wigner molecules was recently experimentally confirmed as well.

description: RESEARCH BACKGROUND: 'Ordinary Escapes and Other Magic' explicated the work of two young South Australian feminists who explore popular cultural imagery of women via louche, hand-fabricated, hobbyist, child art techniques and materials. They execute highly accomplished moving image and digital works referencing the familiar tropes and canons of popular cinema and longstanding repertoires of symbolic representation of women in the "Western Tradition" since the Enlightenment. Peers' catalogue essay, 'Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered' contemplates woman as unstable, mad, uncanny and alien within mainstream culture, and unites the two artists. RESEARCH CONTRIBUTION: Peers' essay explores 3 subthemes: (1) the symbolism of the moon and periodicy in relation to women; (2) woman as insane, hysterical outsider and; (3) the ongoing definition of women's art as second rate within modernist mythologies of genius. Writing and artworks controversially refuse the stereotype of radical art battling convention in preference to celebrating the middle class and trivial, jamming modernist preoccupations. Such a position is still relatively rare in Australia, but resonates with and documents a rapid global upswing of revisiting both 1970s feminist interventions but also hitherto derided cultures of middle class consumption, and female celebration of such capitalist and paradigm driven values. RESEARCH SIGNIFICANCE: Peers was appointed to SASA Gallery's External Scholar Program, which comissions academics, curators and writers to engage with it through written and spoken commentaries that extend their research impact and depth beyond the visual. SASA Gallery is a leading contemporary art space and active site for learning and teaching in an international context, supported by the Division of Education, Art and Social Sciences. This exhibition is assisted by the South Australian Government through Carclew Youth Arts Board, and curated by artists Celeste Aldahn and Ray Harris.

description: Although lessons have been learned from previous severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) outbreaks, the rapid evolution of the viruses means that future outbreaks of a much larger scale are possible, as shown by the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak. Therefore, it is necessary to better understand the evolution of coronaviruses as well as viruses in general. This study reports a comparative analysis of the amino acid usage within several key viral families and genera that are prone to triggering outbreaks, including coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, HCoV-HKU1, HCoV-OC43, HCoV-NL63, HCoV-229E), influenza A (H1N1, H3N2), flavivirus (dengue virus serotypes 1-4, Zika) and ebolavirus (Zaire, Sudan, Bundibugyo ebolavirus). Our analysis reveals that the distribution of amino acid usage in the viral genome is constrained to follow a linear order, and the distribution remains closely related to the viral species within the family or genus. This constraint can be adapted to predict viral mutations and future variants of concern. By studying previous SARS and MERS outbreaks, we have adapted this naturally occurring pattern to determine that although pangolin plays a role in the outbreak of COVID-19, it may not be the sole agent as an intermediate animal. In addition to this study, our findings contribute to the understanding of viral mutations for subsequent development of vaccines and toward developing a model to determine the source of the outbreak.

description: Background Abnormal activation of immune system is an important pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease, but the relationship between peripheral inflammation, central microglia activation and dopaminergic degeneration remains unclear. Objectives To evaluate the brain regional microglia activation and its relationship with clinical severity, dopaminergic presynaptic function, and peripheral inflammatory biomarkers related to adaptive immunity. Methods In this case–control study, we recruited 23 healthy participants and 24 participants with early-stage Parkinson’s disease. 18F-PBR06 PET/MR for microglia activation, 18F-FP-DTBZ for dopaminergic denervation, total account of T cells and subpopulations of T helper (Th1/Th2/Th17) cells, and the levels of serum inflammatory cytokines were assessed. Sanger sequencing was used to exclude the mix-affinity binders of 18F-PBR06-PET. Results Compared to healthy controls, patients with Parkinson’s disease had an increased 18F-PBR06-PET standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) in the putamen, particularly in the ipsilateral side of the motor onset. 18F-PBR06-PET SUVR was positively associated with 18F-FP-DTBZ-PET SUVR in the brainstem and not associated with disease severity measured by Hoehn and Yahr stage, MDS-UPDRS III scores. Patients with Parkinson’s disease had elevated frequencies of Th1 cells and serum levels of IL10 and IL17A as compared to healthy controls. No significant association between peripheral inflammation markers and microglia activation in the brain of PD was observed. Conclusion Parkinson’s disease is associated with early putaminal microglial activation and peripheral phenotypic Th1 bias. Peripheral adaptive immunity might be involved in microglia activation in the process of neurodegeneration in PD indirectly, which may be a potential biomarker for the early detection and the target for immunomodulating therapy.

description: Accountability, a requisite for responsible AI, can be facilitated through transparency mechanisms such as audits and explainability. However, prior work suggests that the success of these mechanisms may be limited to Global North contexts; understanding the limitations of current interventions in varied socio-political conditions is crucial to help policymakers facilitate wider accountability. To do so, we examined the mediation of accountability in the existing interactions between vulnerable users and a 'high-risk' AI system in a Global South setting. We report on a qualitative study with 29 financially-stressed users of instant loan platforms in India. We found that users experienced intense feelings of indebtedness for the 'boon' of instant loans, and perceived huge obligations towards loan platforms. Users fulfilled obligations by accepting harsh terms and conditions, over-sharing sensitive data, and paying high fees to unknown and unverified lenders. Users demonstrated a dependence on loan platforms by persisting with such behaviors despite risks of harms such as abuse, recurring debts, discrimination, privacy harms, and self-harm to them. Instead of being enraged with loan platforms, users assumed responsibility for their negative experiences, thus releasing the high-powered loan platforms from accountability obligations. We argue that accountability is shaped by platform-user power relations, and urge caution to policymakers in adopting a purely technical approach to fostering algorithmic accountability. Instead, we call for situated interventions that enhance agency of users, enable meaningful transparency, reconfigure designer-user relations, and prompt a critical reflection in practitioners towards wider accountability. We conclude with implications for responsibly deploying AI in FinTech applications in India and beyond.

Plato, Square

subject: Textile and fashion design

description: The catalogue essay 'Plato, Square' is part of a broader project aimed at retrieving fashion theory from its present location, primarily though not exclusively within the social sciences, and restoring it to philosophy and literature, from which it has been more or less estranged since the mid-nineteenth century. The exhibition 'Cités de Mille Feuilles' held by S!X in Athens offers, through a consideration of the place and nature of the exhibition space, and the form, materiality and iconography of the exhibited work, the pretext for a tersely poetic examination of the relationship between dress and philosophy. The essay reflects upon their respective histories, geographical and cultural dispersal, political topoi, and the themes of time and transiency, worldiness and other-worldliness, reason and geometry, and the tripartite relationship of mind, spirit, and body. Most of these questions remain far-removed from the concerns of fashion theory. ATOPOS cvc is an innovative international cultural organisation working at the fringes of fashion and visual culture. The exhibition was supported by a research grant from RMIT's School of Fashion and Textiles.
