description: Let $k$ be a number field and $K$ a finite extension of $k$. We count points of bounded height in projective space over the field $K$ generating the extension $K/k$. As the height gets large we derive asymptotic estimates with a particularly good error term respecting the extension $K/k$. In a future paper we will use these results to get asymptotic estimates for the number of points of fixed degree over $k$. We also introduce the notion of an adelic Lipschitz height generalizing that of Masser and Vaaler. This will lead to further applications involving points of fixed degree on linear varieties and algebraic numbers of fixed degree satisfying certain subfield conditions.

description: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a chronic condition that negatively affects quality of life. This thesis explored effects of non-pharmacological management in a systematic review, an exercise intervention in a randomised controlled trial and the experience of living with RLS in focus groups. Despite some evidence of positive effects, no convincing alternatives to drug management were identified. A novel exercise intervention and focus group attendance were associated with comparable outcomes. This research identified important opportunities for healthcare providers to improve support for people with RLS.

description: Number-resolving single photon detectors are essential for the implementation of numerous innovative quantum information schemes. While several number-discriminating techniques have been previously presented, the Silicon Photo-Multiplier (SiPM) detector is a promising candidate due its rather simple integration in optical setups. On the other hand, the photon statistics obtained with the SiPM detector suffer from inaccuracies due to inherent distortions which depend on the geometrical properties of the SiPM. We have simulated the detection process in a SiPM detector and studied these distortions. We use results from the simulation in order to interpret experimental data and study the limits in which available models prevail.

description: We provide *lambda*6708 Li 1 measurements in 37 metal-poor stars, most of which are poorly-studied or have no previous measurements, from high-resolution and high-S/N spectroscopy obtained with the McDonald Observatory 2.1m and 2.7m telescopes. The typical line strength and abundance uncertainties, confirmed by the thinness of the Spite plateau manifested by our data and by comparison with previous measurements, are <=4 mAng and <=0.07-0.10 dex respectively. Two rare moderately metal-poor solar-Teff dwarfs, HIP 36491 and 40613, with significantly depleted but still detectable Li are identified; future light element determinations in the more heavily depeleted HIP 40613 may provide constraints on the Li depletion mechanism acting in this star. We note two moderately metal-poor and slightly evolved stars, HIP 105888 and G265-39, that appear to be analogs of the low-Li moderately metal-poor subgiant HD 201889. Preliminary abundance analysis of G 265-39 finds no abnormalities that suggest the low Li content is associated with AGB mass-transfer or deep mixing and p-capture. We also detect line doubling in HIP 4754, heretofore classified as SB1.

description: Detection of absorbed active galactic nuclei and their properties remains an elusive and important problem in understanding the evolution and activation of black holes. With the very hard X-ray survey conducted by Swift's Burst Alert Telescope - the first all-sky survey in 30 years - we are beginning to uncover the characteristics of obscured AGN. The synergy between Suzaku and Swift has been crucial in pinning down the X-ray properties of newly detected heavily obscured but bright hard X-ray sources. We review the X-ray and optical spectroscopic properties of obscured AGN in the local Universe, as detected in the Swift survey. We discuss the relative distribution of absorbed/unabsorbed sources, including "hidden" and Compton thick AGN populations. Among the results from the survey, we find that absorbed AGN are less luminous than unabsorbed sources. Optical spectra reveal that sources with emission line ratios indicative of LINERs/H II galaxies/composites are the least luminous objects in the sample, while optical absorbed and unabsorbed Seyferts have the same luminosity distributions. Thus, the least luminous sources are likely accreting in a different mode than the Seyferts.

description: Diabetes is one of the most prevalent diseases and the associated complications of the condition are responsible for early death in most countries. Foot ulceration is one such complication that can lead to amputation. Debridement is fundamental in foot ulcers. It is required to remove non-viable tissue from the base to reduce infection and stimulate new skin growth. Different methods of debridement exist, however there is limited evidence around the efficacy and cost effectiveness of each technique. This study aimed to investigate non-surgical sharps debridement, which is considered to be standard practice, and low frequency ultrasonic debridement a newer treatment.

Epitaxial (111) Films of Cu, Ni, and Cu$_xNi$_y$ on α-Al$_2$O$_3$(0001) for Graphene Growth by Chemical Vapor Deposition

description: Films of (111)-textured Cu, Ni, and Cu$_x$Ni$_y$ were evaluated as substrates for chemical vapor deposition of graphene. A metal thickness of 400 nm to 700 nm was sputtered onto a substrate of $α-$Al$_2$O$_3$(0001) at temperatures of 250 C to 650 C. The films were then annealed at 1000 C in a tube furnace. X-ray and electron backscatter diffraction measurements showed all films have (111) texture but have grains with in-plane orientations differing by $60^{\circ}$. The in-plane epitaxial relationship for all films was $[110]_{metal}$||$[10\bar{1}0]_{{Al}_{2}{O}_{3}}$. Reactive sputtering of Al in O$_2$ before metal deposition resulted in a single in-plane orientation over 97 % of the Ni film but had no significant effect on the Cu grain structure. Transmission electron microscopy showed a clean Ni/Al$_2$O$_3$ interface, confirmed the epitaxial relationship, and showed that formation of the $60^{\circ}$ twin grains was associated with features on the Al$_2$O$_3$ surface. Increasing total pressure and Cu vapor pressure during annealing decreased the roughness of Cu and and Cu$_x$Ni$_y$ films. Graphene grown on the Ni(111) films was more uniform than that grown on polycrystalline Ni/SiO$_2$ films, but still showed thickness variations on a much smaller length scale than the distance between grains.

Subjects: Health Care

description: Using research evidence to inform healthcare policy and practice improves patient outcomes. However, little is known about how to facilitate this process. This thesis explores different ways of evaluating approaches to improve the uptake of research evidence in healthcare policy and practice. One conventional study approach is presented to implement evidence-based weekend service recommendations for allied health managers; and one novel study approach is presented to implement evidence into falls prevention and deep vein thrombosis care by nursing and allied health professionals in the hospital setting. Future research can consider applying these approaches in other health contexts.

description: Falls have a profound effect on the quality of life of older adults. As the population ages, falls are an increasing financial burden for health services worldwide. Footwear styles and particular footwear features have been implicated as a risk for falls. When recommending footwear for falls, health practitioners rely on guidelines that are based on the available evidence. There is limited robust evidence supporting footwear recommendations in falls prevention. This thesis reviewed the available evidence on footwear styles and features and provided evidence in regard to particular footwear styles commonly worn by older adults and their effect on gait parameters.
Does movement matter? Exploring the relationship between lumbo-pelvic movement and back pain using wireless inertial motion sensors

description: This thesis reviewed lumbo-pelvic movement and its association with low back pain (LBP) by using wireless motion and electromyographic sensors to compare people with and without persistent LBP. Two reviews found little evidence that movement-based interventions can change movement patterns and inconsistent association with improved pain or activity limitation. Three studies tested movement consistency and reliability, demonstrated a method of defining atypical movement and tested if there were subgroups of flexion related kinematics. Four distinct patterns of flexion were evident with an unequal distribution among people with and without persistent LBP. People with different patterns may have differing responses to interventions for LBP.

description: This letter presents the physics and feasibility of reactor antineutrino monitoring to verify the burnup of plutonium loaded in the reactor as a Mixed Oxide (MOX) fuel. It examines the magnitude and temporal variation in the antineutrino signals expected for different MOX fuels, for the purposes of nuclear accountability and safeguards. The antineutrino signals from reactor-grade and weapons-grade MOX are shown to be distinct from those from burning low enriched uranium. Thus, antineutrino monitoring could be used to verify the destruction of plutonium in reactors, though verifying the grade of the plutonium being burned is found to be more challenging.

description: (Abridged) Active galactic nuclei show a wealth of interesting physical processes, some of which are poorly understood. We want to address a number of open questions, including the location and physics of the outflow from AGN, the nature of the continuum emission, the geometry and physical state of the X-ray broad emission line region, the Fe-K line complex, the metal abundances of the nucleus and finally the interstellar medium of our own Galaxy. We study one of the best targets for these aims, the Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 509 with a multiwavelength campaign using five satellites (XMM-Newton, INTEGRAL, Chandra, HST and Swift) and two ground-based facilities (WHT and PAIRITEL). Our observations cover more than five decades in frequency, from 2 um to 200 keV. The combination of high-resolution spectroscopy and time variability allows us to disentangle and study the different components. Our campaign covers 100 days from September to December 2009, and is centred on a simultaneous set of deep XMM-Newton and INTEGRAL observations with regular time intervals, spanning seven weeks. We obtain a continuous light curve in the X-ray and UV band, showing a strong, up to 60% flux increase in the soft X-ray band during the three weeks in the middle of our deepest monitoring campaign, and which is correlated with an enhancement of the UV flux. This allows us to study the time evolution of the continuum and the outflow. By stacking the observations, we have also obtained one of the best X-ray and UV spectra of a Seyfert galaxy ever obtained. In this paper we also study the effects of the spectral energy distribution (SED) that we obtained on the photo-ionisation equilibrium. Thanks to our broad-band coverage, uncertainties on the SED do not strongly affect the determination of this equilibrium.

description: The CRESST-II cryogenic Dark Matter search, aiming at detection of WIMPs via elastic scattering off nuclei in CaWO$_4$ crystals, completed 730 kg days of data taking in 2011. We present the data collected with eight detector modules, each with a two-channel readout; one for a phonon signal and the other for coincidently produced scintillation light. The former provides a precise measure of the energy deposited by an interaction, and the ratio of scintillation light to deposited energy can be used to discriminate different types of interacting particles and thus to distinguish possible signal events from the dominant backgrounds. Sixty-seven events are found in the acceptance region where a WIMP signal in the form of low energy nuclear recoils would be expected. We estimate background contributions to this observation from four sources: 1) "leakage" from the e/γ-band 2) "leakage" from the α-particle band 3) neutrons and 4) Pb-206 recoils from Po-210 decay. Using a maximum likelihood analysis, we find, at a high statistical significance, that these sources alone are not sufficient to explain the data. The addition of a signal due to scattering of relatively light WIMPs could account for this discrepancy, and we determine the associated WIMP parameters.

description: We report on the results of an optical spectroscopic survey at high Galactic latitude (b\geq30°) of a sample of WISE-selected targets, grouped by WISE W1 (λ_eff = 3.4 \mum) flux, which we use to characterize the sources WISE detected. We observed 762 targets in 10 disjoint fields centered on ultra-luminous infrared galaxy (ULIRG) candidates using the DEIMOS spectrograph on Keck II. We find 0.30 \pm 0.02 galaxies arcmin^-2 with a median redshift of z=0.33 \pm 0.01 for the sample with W1 \geq 120 \muJy. The foreground stellar densities in our survey range from 0.23 \pm 0.07 arcmin^(-2) to 1.1 \pm 0.1 arcmin^(-2) for the same sample. We obtained spectra that produced science grade redshifts for \geq 90% of our targets for sources with W1 flux \geq 120 \muJy that also had i-band flux \geq 18 \muJy. We used for targeting very preliminary data reductions available to the team in August of 2010. Our results therefore present a conservative estimate of what is possible to achieve using WISE's Preliminary Data Release for the study of field galaxies.

Enhancing the uptake of evidence-based practice with allied health professionals: A quasi-experimental study.
Creators: name: MARLENA KLAIC
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: Health Care

description: Evidence-based practice can improve patient outcomes and safety and reduce variation in health care delivery. Published studies suggest that allied health professionals experience many barriers with the implementation of evidence-based practice. This thesis describes a quasi-experimental study that aimed to enhance the uptake of evidence-based practice with a large group of allied health professionals. A tailored intervention was developed to address the barriers identified in phase 1 of the study. Evaluation showed an improvement in the propensity of allied health professionals to engage in evidence-based practice, including using research studies to support clinical decision making.
Weekend allied health services in patients undergoing elective lower limb joint replacement surgery

Subjects: Health Care

description: This thesis explores the effect of an acute weekend allied health service on patient and hospital outcomes following total hip and knee joint replacement surgery. Although further long-term and economic research is required to identify the net effect of this service, this thesis identifies that hospital length of stay, discharge destination (home versus inpatient rehabilitation) and patient reported mobility may be appropriate outcomes measures upon which to base further experimental research. This thesis also identifies ways in which the current allied health service for this population can potentially be optimised.

Stochastic Particle Acceleration in Multiple Magnetic Islands during Reconnection
Creators: name: Hoshino, Masahiro
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A nonthermal particle acceleration mechanism involving the interaction of a charged particle with multiple magnetic islands is proposed. The original Fermi acceleration model, which assumes randomly distributed magnetic clouds moving at random velocity $V_c$ in the interstellar medium, is known to be of second-order acceleration of $O(V_c/c)^2$ owing to the combination of head-on and head-tail collisions. In this letter, we reconsider the original Fermi model by introducing multiple magnetic islands during reconnect ion instead of magnetic clouds. We discuss that the energetic particles have a tendency to be distributed outside the magnetic islands, and they mainly interact with reconnection outflow jets. As a result, the acceleration efficiency becomes first-order of $O(V_A/c)$, where $V_A$ and $c$ are the Alfvén velocity and the speed of light, respectively.

description: Application of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (a-tDCS) has been extensively used as a novel technique to enhance motor sequence learning tasks. Therefore, the primary aim of this thesis was to determine the effects of single-session a-tDCS over superficial sites of the frontoparietal network (FPN) on a sequential visual isometric pinch task (SVIPT) using the dominant hand. The secondary aim was then to examine transfer of learning into the untrained hand. Even though the results indicated no significant differences between sham and a-tDCS groups, we found that temporal and spatial processing in SVIPT was differentially affected by a-tDCS groups.
Is Ballet Dancing Associated with Hip Joint Osteoarthritis?

description: Background
 Professional classical ballet dancers are subjected to repetitive loading patterns across many years, including extreme ranges of motion (ROM) at the hip. It has been proposed that this repeated exposure causes ballet dancers to have more signs of hip osteoarthritis (OA) and pain than other active populations however there is limited research showing direct evidence for this.

 Aims
 The primary aims of this research were to (1) investigate sporting activity as a risk factor for hip OA; and (2) compare imaging signs of hip OA in ballet dancers with an age and sex matched group of sporting participants. A secondary aim was to examine the relationship between hip rotation ROM, pain, and articular cartilage defects in both ballet dancers and sporting participants.

 Methods
 Three studies were completed that consisted of findings from (1) a systematic review and (2) a case-control study. The review examined the evidence for sporting activity as a risk factor for hip OA. The case-control study investigated 49 professional classical ballet dancers and a group of 49 age and sex matched sporting participants. Participants underwent 3T MRI and articular cartilage was examined. Data on hip pain and passive hip rotation ROM were also collected.

 Results
 The systematic review demonstrated that sporting activity does not have a protective effect for hip OA. Most studies showed either an association with increased OA or no effect. There were no differences when ballet dancers and sporting participants were compared on hip pain, nor on prevalence of articular cartilage defects (p=0.54). There was no association between passive hip rotation ROM and articular cartilage defects in either group. Ballet dancers were found to have significantly increased external hip rotation ROM compared to sporting participants (p=0.0001) and significantly decreased internal hip rotation (p=0.006).

 Conclusion
 Further research is required to determine why sporting activity may increase the risk of hip OA, preferably with a prospective design. Ballet dancers have no more signs of hip OA both clinically and on imaging than non-dancing sporting participants. Hip rotation ROM is not associated with hip joint articular cartilage defects or measures of hip pain in active populations.

subject: FOS: Clinical medicine

description: Calcaneal apophysitis is a commonly occurring musculoskeletal condition that affects children between the ages of 8-14 years. It presents as pain at the posterior aspect of the calcaneus, often limiting the childs participation in sporting activities. Throughout the literature treatment modalities have addressed the perceived contributing factors. There is a limited amount of robust evidence regarding the contributing factors and the effectiveness of the available treatment modalities. This thesis aims to review the available evidence and provide evidence for interventions that address the pain and disability experienced by children presenting with calcaneal apophysitis.
 Research Aims:
 1. Identify the possible contributing factors to the pain experienced by chilldren presenting with calcaneal apopohysitis.
 2. Compare whether prefabricated orthoses are superior to heel raises for minimising the disability associated with calcaneal apophysitis
 3. Examine whether footwear (current footwear versus provision of new, athletic footwear) interacts with the comparison between the prefabricated orthoses and heel raise interventions.
 4. Compare child and parent perceptions of the impact of calcaneal apophysitis on the child’s quality of life.
 Outline:
 This thesis is presented as a series of manuscripts that have been published or submitted to peer reviewed journals for publication. Additional information has been provided in the form of introductory and supplementary chapters to allow for a cohesive explanation of the study.
 This thesis begins with an explanation of the condition calcaneal apophysitis it’s suspected aetiology, diagnosis and currently utilized treatment options. This chapter (1) also includes a systematic review that was published in the Journal of Foot and Ankle Research. Chapter 2 presents the protocol paper for the randomized effectiveness trial, it also includes the amendment to the initial protocol; an additional 6 months follow up period. Chapters 3 presents the associated or contributing factors in children that present with pain due to calcaneal apophysitis, the anthropometric data collected and analyzed were published in the Journal of Pediatrics. Chapter 4 presents the outcomes of the 12-month effectiveness trial, which was published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Chapter 5 presents the publication examining the quality of life impact of calcaneal apophysitis from both the child and parent’s perspective. The final chapter provides an overview of the thesis, summarizing and integrating the results of the study with previous literature and proposes a treatment philosophy for clinicians.
Sport and Physical Activity for People with Intellectual Disability

subject: People with disability

description: People with intellectual disability struggle to access physical activity, and therefore miss out on many of the potential benefits that physical activity can provide. Lack of support including facilities, infrastructure, and staffing were associated with low rates of participation. Behaviour problems were not associated with rates of physical activity. Children were motivated to participate in physical activity by enjoyment and acknowledgement of improvement, while their parents were motivated by the health benefits to their child. Understanding motivations and factors associated with participation, and improving the support provided, can help improve access to physical activity for people with intellectual disability.

description: This paper discusses two aspects of current research on the Cepheid period-luminosity (P-L) relation: the derivation of mid-infrared (MIR) P-L relations and the investigation of multi-phase P-L relations. The MIR P-L relations for Cepheids are important in the James Webb Space Telescope era for the distance scale issue, as the relations have potential to derive the Hubble constant within ~ 2% accuracy - a critical constraint in precision cosmology. Consequently, we have derived the MIR P-L relations for Cepheids in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, using archival data from Spitzer Space Telescope. We also compared currently empirical P-L relations for Cepheids in the Magellanic Clouds to the synthetic MIR P-L relations derived from pulsational models. For the study of multi-phase P-L relations, we present convincing evidence that the Cepheid P-L relations in the Magellanic Clouds are highly dynamic quantities that vary significantly when considered as a function of pulsational phase. We found that there is a difference in P-L relations as a function of phase between the Cepheids in each of the Clouds; the most likely cause for this is the metallicity difference between the two galaxies. We also investigated the dispersion of the multi-phase P-L relations, and found that the minimum dispersion do not differ significantly from the mean light P-L dispersion.

description: Opinion mining aims at extracting useful subjective information from reliable amounts of text. Opinion mining holder recognition is a task that has not been considered yet in Arabic Language. This task essentially requires deep understanding of clauses structures. Unfortunately, the lack of a robust, publicly available, Arabic parser further complicates the research. This paper presents a leading research for the opinion holder extraction in Arabic news independent from any lexical parsers. We investigate constructing a comprehensive feature set to compensate the lack of parsing structural outcomes. The proposed feature set is tuned from English previous works coupled with our proposed semantic field and named entities features. Our feature analysis is based on Conditional Random Fields (CRF) and semi-supervised pattern recognition techniques. Different research models are evaluated via cross-validation experiments achieving 54.03 F-measure. We publicly release our own research outcome corpus and lexicon for opinion mining community to encourage further research.

Cyptocephala cogitabunda Berg, 1883:210 - 211; Berg, 1884:26 - 27 (reprint of Berg, 1883); Berg, 1891:282 - 283; Rolston and McDonald, 1984: 77, fig.38.
Thyanta elegantula Jensen-Haarup, 1928:186, 188, 191. New Synonymy.
Cyptocephala elegantula: Rolston and McDonald, 1984:77.
Diagnosis. Extremely variable in color and markings, ranging in predominant color from dark brown to dark green. Scutellum usually with pale mesial band beginning most often caudad of basal disc and continuing to apex, this band often bordered subapicallly with elongated patch of dark castaneus to fuscous punctures. Pale, trans humeral band often present, limited posteriorly by narrow, irregular callus; latter sometimes bordered posteriorly by narrow band of rufous to fuscous punctures. Exocoria often pale, at least basally.
Juga projecting slightly beyond tylus, causing shallow emargination in apex of head, their lateral margins briefly parallel or subparallel before rather shallow an terocular concavity. Anterolateral margins of pronotum concave, somewhat reflexed at humeri. Humeri subangular, projecting laterad of corresponding corium by 0.4 0.8 width of eye. Scutellar width at end of frena 0.38 - 0.44 basal width. Pleura uncalloused. Size extremely variable, 4.8 - 7.7 mm long excluding hemelytral mem branes.
Carina on each side of genital cup mostly visible entad of parameres (Fig. 2). Lateral lobe of parameres narrow; anterior lobe wider, usually moderately rounded apically, sometimes irregular from denticulation (Figs. 2, 9).
Distribution. Argentina (Buenos Aires, Catamarca, Cordoba, Mendoza, San Luis, Tucumfan); Bolivia (La Paz); Uruguay (Colonia). The northern range is considerably greater if a specimen purportedly from Lima, Peru, is correctly labeled.
Types. Dr. Jocelia Grazia compared a female specimen sent to herwith the holotype of C. cogitabunda, a female, and judged the two specimens to be conspecific. The holotype Thyanta elegantula, a male, was examined.
Comments. C. cogitabunda is the only species in the genus in which the juga are longer than the tylus, thus creating a shallow emargination in the apex of the head. It is also the only one with distinctly concave anterolateral pronotal margins; in the other species these margins are weakly concave or straight.

description: While there has been much work examining the affects of social network structure on innovation adoption, models to date have lacked important features such as meta-populations reflecting real geography or influence from mass media forces. In this article, we show these are features crucial to producing more accurate predictions of a social contagion and technology adoption at the city level. Using data from the adoption of the popular micro-blogging platform, Twitter, we present a model of adoption on a network that places friendships in real geographic space and exposes individuals to mass media influence. We show that homopholy both amongst individuals with similar propensities to adopt a technology and geographic location are critical to reproduce features of real spatiotemporal adoption. Furthermore, we estimate that mass media was responsible for increasing Twitter's user base two to four fold. To reflect this strength, we extend traditional contagion models to include an endogenous mass media agent that responds to those adopting an innovation as well as influencing agents to adopt themselves.
