description: The isoscalar E1 and E2 resonances in the proton-rich nuclei ^{48,49}Ni and the {f_{7/2}3^-} multiplet in ^{49}Ni have been calculated taking into account the single-particle continuum exactly. The analogous calculations for the mirror nuclei ^{48}Ca and ^{49}Sc are presented. The models used are the continuum RPA for ^{48}Ni, ^{48}Ca and the Odd RPA for ^{49}Ni, ^{49}Sc, the latter has been developed recently and describes both single-particle and collective excitations of an odd nucleus on a common basis. In all four nuclei we obtained a distinct splitting of the isoscalar E1 resonance into 1 h-bar omega and 3 h-bar omega peaks at about 11 MeV and 30 MeV, respectively. The main part of the isoscalar E1 EWSR is exhausted by the 3 h-bar omega resonances. The 1 h-bar omega resonances exhaust about 35% of this EWSR in ^{48,49}Ni and about 22% in ^{48}Ca and ^{49}Sc. All seven {f_{7/2}3^-} multiplet members in ^{49}Ni are calculated to be in the (6-8) MeV energy region and have noticeable escape widths.

description: The freshwater alga, Chara corallina, is often used as a model system in studies of cell-wall mechanics. Chara has a unique and very simple architecture, in which a number of node cells form the interface between two giant internode cells. Given this architecture, when investigating a specimen comprising a single internode cell, a tensile test stresses just its cell walls. However, when investigating a specimen comprising two internode cells and their intervening node, the stress is imposed on both the cellulosic cell wall components but also on the (in-series) pectin middle lamellae between the cells comprising the node. This setup should allow comparative study of the properties of the cellulose of the cell walls in the absence of middle lamellae and also of the pectin layers of the middle lamellae in the node. Such information would be of particular interest in the case of fruit skins that in tension typically fail along the middle lamellae causing separation of adjacent cells. The objectives were to establish whether the mechanical properties of the pectin middle lamellae between the Chara node cells may be inferred by comparing tensile properties of an internode cell and of a node. Chara cell walls are composed of cellulose and de-esterified pectins as indexed by staining with calcofluorwhite and LM19. Staining with 2F4 indicates the presence of homogalacturonans crosslinked by Ca. Compared with internodes, nodes had lower stiffness, lower maximum force at failure and lower maximum strain. For the internode+node+internode samples, failure in the internode was more frequent than failure in the node. Lowering the medium pH had no effect on stiffness, maximum force at fracture or maximum strain of either internodes or nodes but it did increase the frequency of node vs. internode failure. Incubation in EGTA extracted Ca and decreased stiffness, maximum force at fracture and maximum strain of both internode and node samples. There was little effect of EGTA on the frequency of node vs. internode failure. Incubating internodes and nodes in pectinase decreased stiffness, maximum force at failure and maximum strain. The pectin components of Chara cells are almost identical to those of fruit skin cells. The tensile properties of both internodes and nodes are affected by pectins. This makes it difficult to infer those of the interfacing middle lamellae.

description: COPESTYLUM QUADRATUM (WILLISTON, 1891)
 Larva and puparium: Anterior fold with band of spicules narrowing towards the lateral ends. Longest vestiture of dorsum of prothorax longer than longest spicules on the anterior fold. Posterior breathing tube with AP about as long as wide above inconspicuous TR. AP tapering to about two-thirds of width of TR and 1.1¥ as long as TR is wide. Pupal spiracles about the same length as the AP and separated by about 1.3¥ their length with openings surrounding the apex.
 Taxonomic notes: Copestylum quadratum is most similar to C. milae from which it differs by having the openings of the pupal spiracles surrounding the apex rather than being on the apex and by having the AP slightly longer than the TR is wide. Copestylum quadratum is separated from C. hidalgense by the absence of spicules on the anterodorsal margin of the mesothorax.

Bodmin Moor Bronze Age Landscape Project
geoarchaeology

description: Over five seasons, the archaeology team of the UCL Bodmin Moor Bronze Age Landscapes Project, under the direction of Professor (then Dr) Sue Hamilton, conducted excavations on a number of still upstanding prehistoric structures on and below Leskernick Hill, Bodmin Moor, in the UK. Fraught with difficulties both because of the upstanding nature of the site itself and the peculiar pedological and geomorphological conditions prevailing on the moor (peculiar that is to an excavator used to working on truncated lowland sites), these excavations, many directly supervised by or overseen by the writer, represented a major interpretative challenge to the project. The present paper outlines the nature of that challenge, the lessons we learned from it as excavators, and, by applying these to the record from a second Bronze Age settlement (nearby Stannon Down), its relevance to the Bronze Age archaeology of the region and to excavation and excavators generally.

description: This is a tutorial review of methods to braid the world lines of non-Abelian anyons (Majorana zero-modes) in topological superconductors. That "Holy Grail" of topological quantum information processing has not yet been reached in the laboratory, but there now exists a variety of platforms in which one can search for the Majorana braiding statistics. After an introduction to the basic concepts of braiding we discuss how one might be able to braid immobile Majorana zero-modes, bound to the end points of a nanowire, by performing the exchange in parameter space, rather than in real space. We explain how Coulomb interaction can be used to both control and read out the braiding operation, even though Majorana zero-modes are charge neutral. We ask whether the fusion rule might provide for an easier pathway towards the demonstration of non-Abelian statistics. In the final part we discuss an approach to braiding in real space, rather than parameter space, using vortices injected into a chiral Majorana edge mode as "flying qubits". Contents: I.

description: Deaf students are entering tertiary education in much higher numbers than ever before. With the advent of increased inclusion for deaf students in local schools in New Zealand, the expectation of these students is that they will be able to access tertiary education in the same way as their hearing peers. The aim of this project was to identify current learning and social participation experiences of deaf students within New Zealand tertiary institutions, to obtain an understanding of what the perceived barriers to successful outcomes were, and what the possible solutions to those barriers might be. The research used a sequential mixed methods procedure, in that the initial nested quantitative and qualitative written survey was followed by an in-depth qualitative interview with a selected sample of participants. In all, 64 students completed the written survey and I selected eight of those students to interview. Findings indicated that, access to accommodations, attitudinal barriers, level of social integration, and ease of communication were influential to their learning and participation experiences. Recommendations that aim to address the identified barriers and enhance the tertiary education experiences and outcomes for this population, included the need for students to have strong self-advocacy skills and familiarity with the range of resources available, including new technology. An increased awareness within tertiary institutions of deaf students’ academic and social needs must be at the forefront of any move towards inclusive education, where both deaf and hearing students are equal and valued participants.

description: The very bright and compact massive young cluster, NGC 3603, has been cited as an example of a starburst in the Milky Way and compared with the much-studied R136/30 Doradus region in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Here we build on the discovery by Mohr-Smith et al. (2017) of a large number of reddened O stars around this cluster. We construct a list of 288 candidate O stars with proper motions, in a region of sky spanning 1.5x1.5 square degrees centered on NGC 3603, by cross-matching the Mohr-Smith et al. (2017) catalogue with Gaia DR2 (Gaia Collaboration et al. 2018). This provides the basis for a first comprehensive examination of the proper motions of these massive stars in the halo of NGC 3603, relative to the much better studied central region. We identify up to 11 likely O star ejections -- 8 of which would have been ejected between 0.60 and 0.95 Myr ago (supporting the age of c.1 Myr that has been attributed to the bright cluster centre). Seven candidate ejections are arranged in a partial ring to the south of the cluster core spanning radii of 9-18 arcmin (18-36 pc if the cluster is 7 kpc away). We also show that the cluster has a halo of a further 100 O stars extending to a radius of at least 5 arcmin, adding to the picture of NGC 3603 as a scaled down version of the R136/30 Dor region.

A projected correlation function approach to the pi NN coupling constant in QCD sum rules

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

description: We propose a new approach to construct QCD sum rules for the pi NN coupling constant, g, starting from the vacuum-to-pion correlation function of the interpolating fields of two nucleons and taking its matrix element with respect to nucleon spinors. The new approach with the projected correlation function is advantageous because even in the chiral limit the dispersion integral can be parametrized with well-defined physical parameters. Another advantage of the new approach is that unwanted pole contribution is projected out. Calculating the Wilson coefficients of the operator product expansion of the correlation function up to O(M_B^{-4}) and O(m_pi) where M_B and m_pi are the Borel mass and the pion mass, respectively, we construct new QCD sum rules for the pi NN coupling constant from the projected correlation function with consistently including O(m_pi) corrections. By numerically analyzing the obtained four sum rules we identified the most prominent one. After roughly estimating errors we obtaind, g=10 +/- 3, as a result of this sum rule, which is in reasonable agreement with the empirical value. It is also found that the O(m_pi) correction is about 5%.

description: The new mathematical modeling standard found in the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics in 2010 immediately created a gap between teachers’ knowledge and the new curriculum. Mathematical modeling is a way of doing mathematics with which many teachers are not familiar. The trilogy of Teachers College Mathematical Modeling Handbooks (Handbooks) were created with this in mind and made to be used as a tool for teachers of mathematical modeling. This study utilized a professional development program to determine teachers’ perceptions of these Handbooks.
      	This study used the qualitative case study approach with two active middle school teachers. Data were collected through researcher observations, journal entries of the two participants, and exit interviews. The data from this study show the two teachers found creating and working on their own models was the most useful activity in preparing to teach mathematical modeling. The teachers also reported positive perceptions toward reading background literature and being provided time to adapt the lesson modules from the Handbooks for their own classrooms. While the teachers did not utilize the theoretical structure provided in the third Handbook, they found the Handbooks, overall, to be an effective tool.

description: SCEPTRULOPHORA MEHL, 1992   Diagnosis: Dictyonal Hexactinellida with sceptrules; if sceptrules lacking (which is rare), dictyonal skeleton usually euretoid or farreoid. Uncinates and oxy- and/or discohexasters usually present.
 Remarks: Mehl (1992) did not give a formal diagnosis for Sceptrulophora, and this taxon is not recognized in Systema Porifera (Hooper & van Soest, 2002). However, monophyly of the group is strongly supported by morphology (Mehl, 1992; Dohrmann et al., 2008) and by molecular data (Dohrmann et al., 2008, 2009; this study). Sceptrulophora is here formally introduced for the sake of a more natural (i.e. phylogeny-based) classification; for the time being it is best given subordinal rank within Hexactinosida, although the latter taxon is likely to be a paraphyletic assemblage in need of revision (Mehl, 1992; Dohrmann et al., 2008, 2009). Although this might require erection of a second suborder for the remaining hexactinosidans – essentially Dactylocalycidae, which might itself be an artificial group – we refrain from such a move here. Instead, we follow Ebach & Williams (2010) and designate Hexactinosida and Dactylocalycidae as ‘aphyletic’ taxa.
 Scope: The following families are included in Sceptrulophora: Aphrocallistidae Gray, 1867, Auloplacidae Schrammen, 1912 (=Auloplax Schulze, 1904), Craticulariidae Rauff, 1893 (= Laocoetis Pomel, 1872), Cribrospongiidae Roemer, 1864 (= Stereochlamis Schrammen, 1912), Euretidae Zittel, 1877, Farreidae Gray, 1872, Fieldingiidae Tabachnick & Janussen, 2004 (= Fieldingia Kent, 1870), and Tretodictyidae Schulze 1886. The order Fieldingida, which was solely erected for Fieldingia (Tabachnick & Janussen, 2004) is consequently abolished. Inclusion of Stereochlamis is somewhat provisional because loose spiculation has not been reported yet for this poorly known taxon (Reiswig, 2002c); however, it has a euretoid skeletal organization and therefore fits the diagnosis given above. Tretopleura Ijima, 1927 will also have to be moved to Sceptrulophora because it includes one species with scopules [Tretopleura styloformis (Tabachnick, 1988); loose spicules from the second (type) species are unknown]. Although currently classified in Aulocalycoida: Uncinateridae (Reiswig, 2002d), an affinity of Tretopleura to Euretidae has been suggested previously (see Tabachnick & Reiswig, 2000); this problematic genus (cf. Reiswig, 2002d) is currently under revision (K. R. Tabachnick, pers. comm.).

description: A deformed $q$-calculus is developed on the basis of an algebraic structure involving graded brackets. A number operator and left and right shift operators are constructed for this algebra, and the whole structure is related to the algebra of a $q$-deformed boson. The limit of this algebra when $q$ is a $n$-th root of unity is also studied in detail. By means of a chain rule expansion, the left and right derivatives are identified with the charge $Q$ and covariant derivative $D$ encountered in ordinary/fractional supersymmetry and this leads to new results for these operators. A generalized Berezin integral and fractional superspace measure arise as a natural part of our formalism. When $q$ is a root of unity the algebra is found to have a non-trivial Hopf structure, extending that associated with the anyonic line. One-dimensional ordinary/fractional superspace is identified with the braided line when $q$ is a root of unity, so that one-dimensional ordinary/fractional supersymmetry can be viewed as invariance under translation along this line. In our construction of fractional supersymmetry the $q$-deformed bosons play a role exactly analogous to that of the fermions in the familiar supersymmetric case.

description: Fall detection is an important problem from both the health and machine learning perspective. A fall can lead to severe injuries, long term impairments or even death in some cases. In terms of machine learning, it presents a severely class imbalance problem with very few or no training data for falls owing to the fact that falls occur rarely. In this paper, we take an alternate philosophy to detect falls in the absence of their training data, by training the classifier on only the normal activities (that are available in abundance) and identifying a fall as an anomaly. To realize such a classifier, we use an adversarial learning framework, which comprises of a spatio-temporal autoencoder for reconstructing input video frames and a spatio-temporal convolution network to discriminate them against original video frames. 3D convolutions are used to learn spatial and temporal features from the input video frames. The adversarial learning of the spatio-temporal autoencoder will enable reconstructing the normal activities of daily living efficiently; thus, rendering detecting unseen falls plausible within this framework. We tested the performance of the proposed framework on camera sensing modalities that may preserve an individual's privacy (fully or partially), such as thermal and depth camera. Our results on three publicly available datasets show that the proposed spatio-temporal adversarial framework performed better than other baseline frame based (or spatial) adversarial learning methods.

description: We investigate the liquid-gas phase transition of dense matter in supernova explosion by the relativistic mean field approach and fragment based statistical model. The boiling temperature is found to be high (T_{boil} >= 0.7 MeV for rho_B >= 10^{-7} fm^{-3}), and adiabatic paths are shown to go across the boundary of coexisting region even with high entropy. This suggests that materials experienced phase transition can be ejected to outside. We calculated fragment mass and isotope distribution around the boiling point. We found that heavy elements at the iron, the first, second, and third peaks of r-process are abundantly formed at rho_B = 10^{-7}, 10^{-5}, 10^{-3} and 10^{-2} fm^{-3}, respectively.

description: We present an escape rate theory for current-induced chemical reactions. We use Keldysh nonequilibrium Green's functions to derive a Langevin equation for the reaction coordinate. Due to the out of equilibrium electronic degrees of freedom, the friction, noise, and effective temperature in the Langevin equation depend locally on the reaction coordinate. As an example, we consider the dissociation of diatomic molecules induced by the electronic current from a scanning tunnelling microscope tip. In the resonant tunnelling regime, the molecular dissociation involves two processes which are intricately interconnected: a modification of the potential energy barrier and heating of the molecule. The decrease of the molecular barrier (i.e., the current induced catalytic reduction of the barrier) accompanied by the appearance of the effective, reaction-coordinate-dependent temperature is an alternative mechanism for current-induced chemical reactions, which is distinctly different from the usual paradigm of pumping vibrational degrees of freedom.

description: This thesis presents our research on protein structure prediction on discrete lattices. Given a protein’s amino acid sequence, the protein structure prediction problem is to find its three dimensional native structure that has the minimum free energy. Knowledge about the native protein structures and their respective folding process is a key to understand protein functionalities and consequently the basics of life. Protein structure prediction problem is one of the most challenging problems in molecular biology. In-vitro laboratory methods applied to this problem are very time-consuming, cost- expensive and failure-prone. Also, the search based optimization methods used are com- putationally very expensive. To tackle these, researchers have used various simplified models, such as low resolution energy functions and lattice-based structures, and applied incomplete local search methods on them. The simplified models help obtain back-bone structures first and then hierarchically work out the details. Local search methods can normally quickly find solutions although they suffer from re-visitation and stagnancy, and require good heuristics. In the literature, researchers have mostly used primitive ap- proaches based on random decisions at various choice points. Consequently, these methods are applicable to small-sized proteins only. In this thesis, we present a number of techniques to improve the performance of lo- cal search methods applied to protein structure prediction problem using discrete lattices. Firstly, we propose a memory based local search framework that maintains a set of already explored solutions for avoiding re-visitation and stores previously unexplored but promi- nent solutions for restarting to handle stagnation. A novel encoding scheme for protein structures is proposed to handle symmetry present in the search space. We also propose an approximate matching strategy that results in reducing redundancy in the search space.

description: Docker container virtualization technology is being widely adopted in cloud computing environments because of its lightweight and effiency. However, it requires adequate control and management via an orchestrator. As a result, cloud providers are adopting the open-access Kubernetes platform as the standard orchestrator of containerized applications. To ensure applications' availability in Kubernetes, the latter uses Raft protocol's replication mechanism. Despite its simplicity, Raft assumes that machines fail only when shutdown. This failure event is rarely the only reason for a machine's malfunction. Indeed, software errors or malicious attacks can cause machines to exhibit Byzantine (i.e. random) behavior and thereby corrupt the accuracy and availability of the replication protocol. In this paper, we propose a Kubernetes multi-Master Robust (KmMR) platform to overcome this limitation. KmMR is based on the adaptation and integration of the BFT-SMaRt fault-tolerant replication protocol into Kubernetes environment. Unlike Raft protocol, BFT-SMaRt is resistant to both Byzantine and non-Byzantine faults. Experimental results show that KmMR is able to guarantee the continuity of services, even when the total number of tolerated faults is exceeded. In addition, KmMR provides on average a consensus time 1000 times shorter than that achieved by the conventional platform (with Raft), in such condition. Finally, we show that KmMR generates a small additional cost in terms of resource consumption compared to the conventional platform.

title: Lawyers' experience of exposure to traumatic material

description: In the last decade or more there has been increasing interest in the mental health and wellbeing of practising lawyers, both in Australia and internationally. Research reports surveying lawyers’ perceptions of their work life have found an alarming rate of mental health problems such as depression and substance abuse (Kelk, et.al., 2010). One of the potential areas of concern for legal practice and the mental health of lawyers is exposure to potentially traumatic material. The empirical research to date has found that lawyers who report high levels of depression and psychological distress are at risk from exposure to traumatic material (Levin, (2004), Maguire & Byrne (2016) and Vrklevski and Franklin (2008). While these empirical studies indicated lawyers’ mental health and wellbeing was adversely affected by their exposure to indirect trauma, there were limitations to the research. For example, researchers have not examined what type of material may affect lawyers, how the material affected lawyers, if at all, and what if anything, lawyers do in response to such exposure. Moreover, no qualitative studies exist to better understand the experience of lawyers who practise in areas of exposure risk. The aim of the thesis was to explore what material was potentially traumatic for lawyers, the effect on lawyers of the material, how they managed day to day, and over time, and the influence if any, of the organisational and professional work context on their experience. It is known that organisational culture can play a large role in how lawyers perceive and behave in the workplace (Baron, 2015). Hence, the studies in the thesis incorporated the potential influence of organisational factors and the professional legal culture on the experience of lawyers. Thus, the research reported in this thesis answered the overarching question, “What is the experience of lawyers who are regularly exposed to potentially traumatic material in their work context?”.

description: The group of simplicial automorphisms of a Tits-Kac-Moody ininite building of thickness q associated to a cocompact reflexion group with fundamental domain a simplex, is Kazhdan for q sufficiently large. Thus we obtain families of new Kazhdan groups: two in dimension 3 and one in dimension 4. The proof uses continuos cohomology, in particular a lemma of Borel-Wallach, and Garland's vanishing method.

description: Visuospatial thinking skills are essential for many professional and educational fields, including science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (S.T.E.A.M.). The ability to rotate objects mentally is foundational to various types of spatial abilities, e.g. spatial visualization, perspective taking, spatial relations, etc. (Caroll, 1993). In order to attain and maintain mental rotation skills, the process of explicit decomposing the movements involved during the rotational process is required to embolden learning and conceptualization. In pilot studies, I found when learners verbally confirm the thinking and planning methods before performing rotation tasks, it helps learners formulate a complete mental rotation understanding. Moreover, this augments learners’ abilities to transfer the skill to other types of spatial oriented tasks.
      The dissertation study further investigated how explicitly planning as a type of training during 3D manipulations helps learners improve their abilities at mental rotation and other spatial thinking skills. Students from New York City metropolitan area (n=127) were recruited and consented to participate in the study. Using a 2x2 factorial between-subjects design plus a control, students were randomly assigned to one level of propositional explanation (explicit propositional integration vs. without) and one of training environment or rotational method (computer-assisted vs. physical-manipulation), or to a control group (no rotation). In the manipulation, learners operated the rotation of seven distinct stimuli in either single or multiple rotations for a total of 42 training trials over two 50-minute sessions on two separate days. I assessed mental rotation abilities using a pre and post repeated measures of the Vandenberg and Kuse Mental Rotation Task and two standardized post-assessments, the Surface Development Task for near transfer of rotational skills and the far transfer of the Topographical Map Assessment.
      Overall, this dissertation confirmed that learners who engaged in explicitly integrating propositional in explaining their planning process improved in their 3D Spatial thinking skills and outperformed students who did not explicitly integrate their plans to complete the same spatial tasks on both the direct and near transfer tasks. There were no differences on the measures of far transfer. Results from this study can inform professionals ranging from educators to instructional designers as well as child developmentalists and caretakers. By coupling explicit explanations with internal spatial thinking, individuals can improve their 3D spatial thinking skills with prospects for benefits that extend not only into everyday activities but additional activities in S.T.E.A.M. related endeavors.

description: We present a numerically exact Inchworm Monte Carlo method for equilibrium multiorbital quantum impurity problems with general interactions and hybridizations. We show that the method, originally developed to overcome the dynamical sign problem in certain real-time propagation problems, can also overcome the sign problem as a function of temperature for equilibrium quantum impurity models. This is shown in several cases where the current method of choice, the continuous-time hybridization expansion, fails due to the sign problem. Our method therefore enables simulations of impurity problems as they appear in embedding theories without further approximations, such as the truncation of the hybridization or interaction structure or a discretization of the impurity bath with a set of discrete energy levels, and eliminates a crucial bottleneck in the simulation of ab initio embedding problems.

description: This study was conducted to measure the concentrations of strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), chromium (Cr), antimony (Sb), selenium (Se), and lead (Pb) in canine liver, renal cortex, and renal medulla, and the association of these concentrations with age, gender, and occurrence of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Tissues from 50 dogs were analyzed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Cu, Zn, and Mn levels were highest in the liver followed by the renal cortex and renal medulla. The highest Sr, Cd, and Se concentrations were measured in the renal cortex while lower levels were found in the renal medulla and liver. Female dogs had higher tissue concentrations of Sr (liver and renal medulla), Cd (liver), Zn (liver and renal cortex), Cr (liver, renal cortex, and renal medulla), and Pb (liver) than male animals. Except for Mn and Sb, age- dependent variations were observed for all element concentrations in the canine tissues. Hepatic Cd and Cr concentrations were higher in dogs with CKD. In conclusion, the present results provide new knowledge about the storage of specific elements in canine liver and kidneys, and can be considered important reference data for diagnostic methods and further investigations.
