Honours for historians: historiography and civic identity in the Hellenistic and Roman polis : third century BCE to third century CE
Creators: name: Chin, Marcus Jia Hao
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Across the Hellenistic and Roman imperial periods (third century BCE to third century CE) a number of inscriptions are attested which record honours specifically conferred by Greek city-state (polis) communities on individuals for narrating the past, through prose historical works, poetry, and even sculpture (‘historians’). While these documents have been approached with a view to understanding broader historical phenomena in this period – the proliferation of itinerant literary activity and the history of Greek historiography – they also offer specific insight into the social reality of historiography in the polis, and the polis’ conception of itself and its past through its historians. Three issues are therefore of interest. The first concerns the historiographical contents of these honoured historians, as insights into the sorts of pasts which were valued by the polis. Contiguous to this are the social contexts in which these historiographical works had relevance within the polis community, and between polis communities. A third aspect focuses on the creation of this relevance through the honorific act, as characterised in the inscription itself: this served to integrate the historian into the polis and its past, thereby expressing through gratitude ideals of social continuity into the future.

Overutilisation of imaging in the management of low back pain
Creators: name: Jenkins, Hazel
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Low back pain is one of the leading causes of disability globally and is associated with significant costs to the health care system. Improving the management of low back pain is necessary to optimise patient outcomes while minimising associated costs. For the majority of people with low back pain their pain cannot be attributed to a specific cause and the use of medical imaging does not improve management of these patients. Imaging is only indicated infrequently, in cases where serious pathology (e.g. malignancy or infection) is suspected. Overuse of imaging has been associated with increased healthcare costs and risks such as overdiagnosis, with the potential for further inappropriate investigations and treatments, increased rates of surgery, and radiation exposure. Effective interventions to reduce the use of non-indicated imaging would help improve patient management and reduce associated healthcare costs. The work presented in this thesis details the development of an intervention to reduce the use of non-indicated imaging for low back pain. Systematic reviews were performed to assess the extent of overuse of imaging for low back pain (Chapter 2) and the effectiveness of previously tested interventions to reduce imaging (Chapter 3), followed by a survey to establish whether patients believe imaging to be important in the management of low back pain (Chapter 4). The results of these studies indicated the need for a novel intervention to reduce imaging for low back pain, addressing both practitioner and patient related barriers. Chapters 5 and 6 describe the development and preliminary testing of this intervention. The development of the intervention was systematically performed using the Behaviour Change Wheel and the Theoretical Domains Framework. Development of the intervention was informed by experts in the field of low back pain and key stakeholders, including general practitioners and healthcare consumers (Chapter 5). Finally, a qualitative study was performed to assess general practitioners' experiences using the intervention in clinical practice. Barriers and facilitators to using the intervention in clinical practice were identified and used to inform implementation strategies of the final intervention (Chapter 6). The developed intervention incorporates a low back pain education and management booklet, designed to be used by general practitioners with patients during a clinical consult, and a training session to instruct practitioners in the use of the booklet. The booklet can be used by general practitioners to screen patients for the need for imaging, reassure and educate patients about their low back pain (and where appropriate why imaging isn't required), and provide customised management advice to the patient. The intervention was found to be useful by general practitioners, likely to reduce non-indicated imaging as designed, and suitable for future effectiveness testing.

description: Introduction: Despite the availability of effective iron chelators, transfusion-related morbidity is still a challenge in chronically transfused patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). In these patients, transfusion-induced iron overload may lead to organ dysfunction or even organ failure. In addition, iron overload is associated with reduced overall survival in MDS. Areas covered: During the past 10 years, various guidelines for the management of MDS patients with iron overload have been proposed. In the present article, we provide our updated recommendations for the diagnosis, prevention and therapy of iron overload in MDS. In addition, we propose refined treatment response criteria. As in 2006 and 2007, recommendations were discussed and formulated by participants of our Austrian MDS platform in a series of meetings in 2016 and 2017. Expert commentary: Our updated recommendations should support early recognition of iron overload, optimal patient management and the measurement of clinical responses to chelation treatment in daily practice.
Society as its Goal: Karl Marx and Ethical Life
Creators: name: Lazarus, Michael
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 440811
subject: Political theory and political philosophy

description: This thesis argues that Karl Marx’s immanent critique of capital provides a conception of ethical life. My interpretation situates Marx within a shared tradition of ethical inquiry, placing him in close dialogue with Aristotle and Hegel. The conception of ethical life found in these three thinkers challenges the prominent notion of ethics as individual duties and laws by conceiving ethics as integral to (or inseparable from) political life. Within this tradition, ethical life is understood in terms of mutually recognised modes of understanding underpinned by rational social organisation. This thesis reconstructs Marx’s social thought by putting his social ontology and concept of value at the centre of his conception of ethics.Author requested conversion to restricted access 7 June 2024.

Historical Changes in the Concepts of Number, Mathematics and Number Theory
Creators: name: Graves-Gregory, Nicola
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: History and Overview (math.HO)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: This essay traces the history of three interconnected strands. Firstly, changes in the concept of number, secondly, the study of the qualities of number, which evolved into number theory, and thirdly, the nature of mathematics itself, from early Greek mathematics to the 20th century. These were embedded in philosophical shifts, from the classical Greek ontologies through increasing pragmatism to formalism and logical positivism. Given that Goedel demonstrated the limitations of the latter as a foundation for mathematics, this essay explores phenomenology and Lakatosian ideas, which together offer a more sound epistemological and ontological basis for mathematics and a methodology for mathematical development.The question also then arises of the possible resurrection of earlier, neglected mathematical projects, including widening the domain of number theory to include integer qualities revealed in the growth of mathematics in general, which has predominantly been the growth of quantitative mathematics or logistike, the complement of arithmetike in classical Greece.

description: For sexually reproducing species, functionally competent sperm are critical to reproduction. While high atmospheric temperatures are known to influence the timing of breeding, incubation and reproductive success in birds, the effect of temperature on sperm quality remains largely unexplored. Here, we experimentally investigated the impact of ecologically relevant extreme temperatures on cloacal temperature and sperm morphology and motility in zebra finches Taeniopygia guttata. We periodically sampled males exposed to 30 or 40°C temperatures daily for 14 consecutive days. Following a 12-day (23°C) recovery period, birds were again exposed to heat, but under the alternate treatment (e.g. birds initially exposed to 40°C were exposed to 30°C). Elevated temperatures led to an increase in cloacal temperature and a reduction in the proportion of sperm with normal morphology; though these effects were most notable under 40°C conditions and were influenced by the duration of heat exposure and prior exposure to high temperature. Our findings highlight the potential role of temperature in determining male fertility in birds, and perhaps also in constraining the timing of avian breeding. Given the increased frequency of heatwaves in a warming world, our results suggest the need for further work on climatic influences on sperm quality and male fertility.

description: The Fan Region is one of the dominant features in the polarized radio sky, long thought to be a local (distance < 500 pc) synchrotron feature. We present 1.3-1.8 GHz polarized radio continuum observations of the region from the Global Magneto-Ionic Medium Survey (GMIMS) and compare them to maps of Halpha and polarized radio continuum intensity from 0.408-353 GHz. The high-frequency (> 1 GHz) and low-frequency (< 600 MHz) emission have different morphologies, suggesting a different physical origin. Portions of the 1.5 GHz Fan Region emission are depolarized by about 30% by ionized gas structures in the Perseus Arm, indicating that this fraction of the emission originates >2 kpc away. We argue for the same conclusion based on the high polarization fraction at 1.5 GHz (about 40%). The Fan Region is offset with respect to the Galactic plane, covering -5° < b < +10°; we attribute this offset to the warp in the outer Galaxy. We discuss origins of the polarized emission, including the spiral Galactic magnetic field. This idea is a plausible contributing factor although no model to date readily reproduces all of the observations. We conclude that models of the Galactic magnetic field should account for the > 1 GHz emission from the Fan Region as a Galactic-scale, not purely local, feature.

description: The energy released in solar flares derives from a reconfiguration of magnetic fields to a lower energy state, and is manifested in several forms, including bulk kinetic energy of the coronal mass ejection, acceleration of electrons and ions, and enhanced thermal energy that is ultimately radiated away across the electromagnetic spectrum from optical to X-rays. Using an unprecedented set of coordinated observations, from a suite of instruments, we here report on a hitherto largely overlooked energy component -- the kinetic energy associated with small-scale turbulent mass motions. We show that the spatial location of, and timing of the peak in, turbulent kinetic energy together provide persuasive evidence that turbulent energy may play a key role in the transfer of energy in solar flares. Although the kinetic energy of turbulent motions accounts, at any given time, for only $\sim (0.5-1)$\% of the energy released, its relatively rapid ($\sim$$1-10$~s) energization and dissipation causes the associated throughput of energy (i.e., power) to rival that of major components of the released energy in solar flares, and thus presumably in other astrophysical acceleration sites.

A Galactic Molecular Cloud Clump Catalog from Hi-GAL Data: Method and Initial Results Comparison to BGPS

description: As the precursors to stellar clusters, it is imperative that we understand the distribution and physical properties of dense molecular gas clouds and clumps. Such a study has been done with the ground-based Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey (BGPS). Now the Herschel infrared GALactic plane survey (Hi-GAL) allows us to do the same with higher quality data and complete coverage of the Galactic plane. We have made a pilot study comparing dense molecular gas clumps identified in the Hi-GAL and BGPS surveys, using six $2^\circ \times 2^\circ$ regions centered at Galactic longitudes of $\ell = 11^\circ$, 30$^\circ$, 41$^\circ$, 50$^\circ$, 202$^\circ$, and $217^\circ$. We adopted the BGPS methodology for identifying clumps and estimating distances, leading to 6198 clumps being identified in our substudy, with 995 of those having well-constrained distances. These objects were evenly distributed with Galactic longitude, a consequence of Hi-GAL being source confusion limited. These clumps range in mass from 10$^{-2}$ M$_\odot$ to 10$^{5}$ M$_\odot$, and have heliocentric distances of up to 16 kpc. When clumps found in both surveys are compared, we see that distances agree within 1 kpc and ratios of masses are of order unity. This serves as an external validation for BGPS and instills confidence as we move forward to cataloging the clumps from the entirety of Hi-GAL. In addition to the sources that were in common with BGPS, Hi-GAL found many additional sources, primarily due to the lack of atmospheric noise. We expect Hi-GAL to yield $2\times10^5$ clumps, with 20% having well-constrained distances, an order of magnitude above what was found in BGPS.

description: The aim of this paper is to describe a new an integrated methodology for project control under uncertainty. This proposal is based on Earned Value Methodology and risk analysis and presents several refinements to previous methodologies. More specifically, the approach uses extensive Monte Carlo simulation to obtain information about the expected behavior of the project. This dataset is exploited in several ways using different statistical learning methodologies in a structured fashion. Initially, simulations are used to detect if project deviations are a consequence of the expected variability using Anomaly Detection algorithms. If the project follows this expected variability, probabilities of success in cost and time and expected cost and total duration of the project can be estimated using classification and regression approaches.

description: This thesis will identify the regional and cultural affinities of Tel Azekah during the Early Bronze Age through a comparative typological analysis of the pottery discovered in the first five seasons of excavations at the site (2012-2016). This will involve comparing the Early Bronze Age pottery from Tel Azekah with the sites of Tel Yarmuth, Tell es-Safi/Gath, and Tel Lachish, which are of close proximity to Tel Azekah. This qualitative analysis will look at nuances in shape, manufacturing techniques and finishes to determine the cultural relations of Tel Azekah during the EB III period. It is expected that the remains of Tel Azekah will show affinity with these sites due to the proximity of the sites and their archaeological similarities in later periods. This study will broaden the understanding of pottery during the Early Bronze Age by contributing to the current typologies and further aid in defining cultural and regional relations of the area.

Remote sensing of wildland bushfire fuels in the Royal National Park, NSW
Creators: name: Turner, Liam
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Field based techniques assessing wildland bushfire fuel characteristics are limited by the spatial extent at which they can be implemented due to cost, labour intensity, and terrain accessibility. Within Australia, research using remote sensing instruments to assess fuel characteristics has utilised low resolution imagery, simultaneously assessing all fuel strata. Within this research, fuel load is used to quantify wildland fuel distribution. Fuel load has been suggested to not account for fuel particle arrangement. This thesis presents two manuscripts: the first investigates the fuel hazard classification of pan-sharpened imagery to improve bushfire fuel assessment resolution, and the second investigates machine learning algorithms and the fusion of LiDAR and high resolution imagery to classify a single fuel stratum, the understory. Results suggest that the use of pan-sharpening to improve bushfire fuel assessment resolution is plausible, and that understory fuels can be classified with moderate accuracy using Support Vector Machine classification of a fusion on imagery and LiDAR metrics.

description: The evolution of a solitary wave with very weak nonlinearity which was originally investigated by Miles [4] is revisited. The solution for a one-dimensional gravity wave in a water of uniform depth is considered. This leads to finding the solution to a Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation in which the nonlinear term is small. Also considered is the asymptotic solution of the linearized KdV equation both analytically and numerically. As in Miles [4], the asymptotic solution of the KdV equation for both linear and weakly nonlinear case is found using the method of inversescattering theory. Additionally investigated is the analytical solution of viscous-KdV equation which reveals the formation of the Peregrine soliton that decays to the initial sech^2(ξ) soliton and eventually growing back to a narrower and higher amplitude bifurcated Peregrine-type soliton.

description: This thesis examines the historical development of anti-discrimination policy in four jurisdictions, with an emphasis on persons with disabilities. It details the development of disability discrimination legislation in the US and Australia, and of equality legislation in the UK and Canada. It is argued that more equitable policies have co-evolved with historical changes in the social construction of marginalised individuals. More specifically, the study employs an historical institutionalist framework to investigate the array of factors driving the evolution of the human rights institutions in each country. The case studies throw up a wealth of factors, but two major factors stand out, one structural, the other agential. The major structural factor is federalism. In the three federal nation-states the national jurisdiction shares power and competencies with subnational jurisdictions, with implications for human rights legislation at the federal level. This contrasts with the UK, a unitary state, but with its sovereignty now constrained by the European Union. The major agential factor is the nature, institutional location and timing of activism promoting human rights. The study highlights several prominent political and academic actors, who initiate new policy proposals in response to (and utilising) critical junctures in the history of human rights institutions in each country. The thesis concludes by indicating that a fertile area of future research lies in the exploration of the lineage, transmission and development of the ideas centred on human rights and justice argued by such entrepreneurs.

description: Photostriction is predicted for SnS and SnSe monolayers, two-dimensional ferroelectrics with rectangular unit cells (the lattice vector $\mathbf{a}_1$ is larger than $\mathbf{a}_2$) and an intrinsic dipole moment parallel to $\mathbf{a}_1$. Photostriction in these two-dimensional materials is found to be induced by a screened electric polarization in the photoexcited electronic state (i.e., a converse piezoelectric effect) that leads to a compression of $a_1$ and a comparatively smaller increase of $a_2$ for a reduced unit cell area. The structural change documented here is ten times larger than that observed in BiFeO$_3$, making monochalcogenide monolayers an ultimate platform for this effect. This structural modification should be observable under experimentally feasible densities of photexcited carriers on samples that have been grown already, having a potential usefulness for light-induced, remote mechano-opto-electronic applications.

description: We present the Stagome lattice, a variant of the Kagome lattice, where one can make any of the bands completely flat by tuning an externally controllable magnetic flux. This systematically allows the energy of the flat band to coincide with the Fermi level. We have analytically calculated the compact localized states associated to each of these flat bands appearing at different values of the magnetic flux. We also show that, this model features nontrivial topological properties with distinct integer values of the Chern numbers as a function of the magnetic flux. We argue that this mechanism for making any of the bands exactly flat could be of interest to address the flat-band superconductivity in such a system. Additionally, we show that our results are robust even in the presence of a small amount of disorder. Furthermore, we believe that the phenomenon of photonic flat band localization could be studied in the Stagome lattice structure, designed for instance using femtosecond laser induced single-mode waveguide arrays.

description: Bluesky is a nascent Twitter-like and decentralized social media network with novel features and unprecedented data access. This paper provides a characterization of its interaction network, studying the political leaning, polarization, network structure, and algorithmic curation mechanisms of five million users. The dataset spans from the website's first release in February of 2023 to May of 2024. We investigate the replies, likes, reposts, and follows layers of the Bluesky network. We find that all networks are characterized by heavy-tailed distributions, high clustering, and short connection paths, similar to other larger social networks. BlueSky introduced feeds-algorithmic content recommenders created for and by users. We analyze all feeds and find that while a large number of custom feeds have been created, users' uptake of them appears to be limited. We analyze the hyperlinks shared by BlueSky's users and find no evidence of polarization in terms of the political leaning of the news sources they share. They share predominantly left-center news sources and little to no links associated with questionable news sources. In contrast to the homogeneous political ideology, we find significant issues-based divergence by studying opinions related to the Israel-Palestine conflict. Two clear homophilic clusters emerge: Pro-Palestinian voices outnumber pro-Israeli users, and the proportion has increased. We conclude by claiming that Bluesky-for all its novel features-is very similar in its network structure to existing and larger social media sites and provides unprecedented research opportunities for social scientists, network scientists, and political scientists alike.

description: We consider the problem of determination of a volume of some bounded space-like hypersurfaces in the case of spherically symmetric spacetimes. In the case when the hypersurfaces is cut or bounded by a light-like hypersurface the problem may not be well defined. In order to define properly the volume we introduce the volume forms related to the given foliation (observer) of the considered spacetime. In the case of the constant curvature slice the volume of the hypersurface cut by the horizon (light-like surface) becomes composed of the two parts, outer and inner, treated differently. We compute the corresponding volumes outside and inside of the horizon of the ethernal Schwarzschild black hole.

Novel UV methods for patterning micro-scale conductive structures on insulating diamond surfaces

description: This thesis reports an investigation into laser direct-write manipulation of the terminating layer on diamond surfaces. A novel two-photon etching process is used to partially or completely oxidize the diamond surface to create functional surfaces with engineered regions of oxygen and hydrogen termination. Hydrogen-terminated diamond has a sub-surface two-dimensional hole sheet, with a carrier density of ~2×10¹³ cm⁻² which results in conduction when the surface is exposed to a mildly acidic water layer. This is contrasted by an oxygen-terminated surface that is highly insulating. Two-photon UV etching of oxygen-terminated regions on a hydrogen-terminated surface thus has the potential, for example, to enable a highly practical method for developing micro-scale surface electronic systems. To this end, hydrogen-terminated surfaces were prepared by exposure to a high-power hydrogen plasma source and electrically characterised after evaporation of Au contacts onto the surface. A method of producing consistent, low-resistivity, and smooth hydrogen-terminated surfaces has been developed empirically. Conducting tracks of H-termination were electrically isolated by direct-write two-photon UV laser etching. This technique has been used to electrically isolate individual, and pairs of, Au contacts from the bulk surface whilst allowing conduction inside the region defined by the etched path. Also, partial removal of H-termination was demonstrated enabling the resistance (hole doping) on the surface to be modified in a highly controllable fashion over many orders of magnitude. This result demonstrates an important feature of the laser technique compared with traditional chemical doping techniques. Patterning of hydrogen and oxygen terminated regions was used to structure planar field-effect transistors (FETs). Although the FETs displayed significant resistance and were sub-optimal devices nevertheless the drain-source current was influenced by the gate voltage. These results provide the basis towards a functioning p-type surface conduction diamond FET fabricated by a direct-write laser technique, and is the first demonstration of the ability to write complex patterns into the surface termination of diamond by way of pulsed UV laser techniques. This work reveals the challenges ahead to developing practical devices, and highlights the potential for the UV laser direct-write technique for rapid-prototyping of functionalized diamond surface structures for electronics as well as other possible interesting applications including quantum devices and biosubstrates.

description: Dielectric microstructures have generated much interest in recent years as a means of accelerating charged particles when powered by solid state lasers. The acceleration gradient (or particle energy gain per unit length) is an important figure of merit. To design structures with high acceleration gradients, we explore the adjoint variable method, a highly efficient technique used to compute the sensitivity of an objective with respect to a large number of parameters. With this formalism, the sensitivity of the acceleration gradient of a dielectric structure with respect to its entire spatial permittivity distribution is calculated by the use of only two full-field electromagnetic simulations, the original and adjoint. The adjoint simulation corresponds physically to the reciprocal situation of a point charge moving through the accelerator gap and radiating. Using this formalism, we perform numerical optimizations aimed at maximizing acceleration gradients, which generate fabricable structures of greatly improved performance in comparison to previously examined geometries.

description: Since the birth of the concept of machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) in 2007, a growing interest has been developed in the replacement of empirical interatomic potentials (EIPs) with MLIPs, in order to conduct more accurate and reliable molecular dynamics calculations. As an exciting novel progress, in the last couple of years the applications of MLIPs have been extended towards the analysis of mechanical and failure responses, providing novel opportunities not heretofore efficiently achievable, neither by EIPs nor by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In this minireview, we first briefly discuss the basic concepts of MLIPs and outline popular strategies for developing a MLIP. Next, by considering several examples of recent studies, the robustness of MLIPs in the analysis of the mechanical properties will be highlighted, and their advantages over EIP and DFT methods will be emphasized. MLIPs furthermore offer astonishing capabilities to combine the robustness of the DFT method with continuum mechanics, enabling the first-principles multiscale modeling of mechanical properties of nanostructures at the continuum level. Last but not least, the common challenges of MLIP-based molecular dynamics simulations of mechanical properties are outlined and suggestions for future investigations are proposed.
