description: We critically examine the methodology behind the claimed observational detection of halo assembly bias using optically selected galaxy clusters by Miyatake et al. (2016) and More et al. (2016). We mimic the optical cluster detection algorithm and apply it to two different mock catalogs generated from the Millennium simulation galaxy catalog, one in which halo assembly bias signal is present, while the other in which the assembly bias signal has been expressly erased. We split each of these cluster samples into two using the average cluster-centric distance of the member galaxies to measure the difference in the clustering strength of the subsamples with respect to each other. We observe that the subsamples split by cluster-centric radii show differences in clustering strength, even in the catalog where the true assembly bias signal was erased. We show that this is a result of contamination of the member galaxy sample from interlopers along the line-of-sight. This undoubtedly shows that the particular methodology adopted in the previous studies cannot be used to claim a detection of the assembly bias signal. We figure out the tell-tale signatures of such contamination, and show that the observational data also shows similar signatures. Furthermore, we also show that projection effects in optical galaxy clusters can bias the inference of the 3-dimensional edges of galaxy clusters (splashback radius), so appropriate care should be taken while interpreting the splashback radius of optical clusters.

title: A study of primary school teachers' perceptions of student engagement

Subjects: subject: student engagement

subject: perceptions

description: A decline in students’ motivation and engagement in learning can manifest in several ways including apathy towards classroom tasks, disruptive behaviour, and absenteeism and, if continued over time, school dropout. As such, student engagement is recognised as being key to students’ academic success. Student engagement is a complex and multidimensional construct with researchers yet to agree on a single universal definition. Early studies into student engagement focused discussion around behavioural compliance or physiological connection to learning. Following this, were definitions linked to active learning, emotional involvement and participation. However, more recent research extends this notion to explore and understand the difference between student compliance and student engagement leading towards conversations around agency. While much research exists to attempt to understand the concept of student engagement, a gap exists in the literature to better define what engagement looks like from the teacher’s perception- particularly in the primary school years (Prep to year 6). Underpinned by sociocultural and social cognitive theories, this study used phenomenography as a methodology to seek the perceptions of student engagement from primary school teachers. From the literature regarding student engagement, the study identified three research questions in which to guide the study. These questions focused on what student engagement was according to the teacher participants and how they engaged students through the strategies they used. The study also sought to explore the challenges that teachers proposed which influenced their success in using these strategies. [...]

description: We argue that the analysis of agent/environment interactions should be extended to include the conventions and invariants maintained by agents throughout their activity. We refer to this thicker notion of environment as a lifeworld and present a partial set of formal tools for describing structures of lifeworlds and the ways in which they computationally simplify activity. As one specific example, we apply the tools to the analysis of the Toast system and show how versions of the system with very different control structures in fact implement a common control structure together with different conventions for encoding task state in the positions or states of objects in the environment.

description: When Jacques Lafitte, a civil engineer, published his pamphlet Reflexions sur la Science de Machines (1932, 1972), he was writing across disciplines, developing a methodology that integrated structural theory, kinematics, and mechanical and civil engineering, with works of art and architecture. Contrary to many writings of the period, his work seeks to define and position the machine as a primary force of integration, rather than as a technological object hell-bent on social alienation. Most importantly, he develops a whole new science of machines, mechanology, which proposes a system of classification that expands on the notion of what constitutes a machine, and is organized according to an energetic and functional evolution; within this system, he situates works of architecture. While Lafitte’s words have little purchase in the scientific and cultural milieu of the world between the wars, they acquire new resonance in the postwar period, increasingly dominated by cybernetic theory. They will engage French philosopher of technology Gilbert Simondon, who furthers this exploration of mechanology in his own writings; they will serve to focus his thinking concerning technicity as a “mode of existence” in his secondary thesis entitled On The Mode of Existence of Technical Objects (1958). In this recently translated work, Simondon outlines a mode of existence particular to technical objects, by presenting the technical object as a field of operation, thus setting in motion an understanding of the movement of technicity as “ontological force.” (Hoel, Van der Tuin 2013, 188). This paper proposes a “chiastic” reading of Lafitte and Simondon, to highlight aspects of their little-known work, and to suggest elements in their thinking that may be relevant to contemporary architectural discourse. This machine that both authors seek to define, albeit differently, is explored as both mechanism and organism, an understanding of which may contribute to the current discourse on emergence, as well as offer a new framework for research in architectural history. This paper encapsulates a portion of the preparatory research for the thesis project: “Gilbert Simondon: Technicity and Technophany in the Chaine Operatoire.”
title: Facilitating the resilience of unaccompanied asylum-seeking minors in Australia
Creators: name: King, Ebony L.
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Asylum seeking
subject: Resilience
subject: Unaccompanied minors
subject: Social-ecological theory

description: In recent years, there has been an increase in the numbers of children and young people who are seeking asylum alone in ‘the West’, without the support of a parent or guardian. A growing body of research has found that unaccompanied asylum-seeking minors (UAMs) experience higher rates post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and anxiety, as well as associated behavioural problems, compared to children who seek asylum with their parents. However, there is increasing recognition among scholars that whilst UAMs may be vulnerable, they are also resilient and capable agents in their lives. Literature focusing on UAM resilience has largely conceptualised resilience as an individual capacity to do well despite exposure to significant adversity. This thesis is the first study, to my knowledge, to approach the study of UAM resilience from a social-ecological theoretical perspective, whereby in contexts of adversity, resilience is both the capacity of individuals to navigate their way to health sustaining resources and a condition of the individual’s family, community, and culture to provide these health-promoting resources and experiences in culturally meaningful ways. To explore this, in-depth and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 former UAMs and 18 key informant service providers in Australia. Data were analysed using thematic analysis and four major themes were identified: Distal Decisions, Connection, Education and Identity. These themes were conceptualised as “domains” and the “Domains of Facilitated Resilience” model is proposed, which conceptualises how the complex and dynamic interactions between these four domains potentiate differential patterns in resource access, processes and outcomes that can both facilitate and undermine the ability of UAMs to ‘be resilient’. The best outcomes were achieved when the four domains are mutually facilitative and supportive, however punitive Distal Decisions (government legislation and policies) often limited the resilience-promoting potential of Connection, Education and Identity by restricting UAMs’ access to meaningful resources, permanent protection and family reunion. Implications and recommendations for resilience theory, legislation and policy, and service provision are proposed.

description: Although several works have been proposed for multi-channel profile monitoring, two additional challenges are yet to be addressed: (i) how to model complex correlations of multi-channel profiles when different profiles have different features (i.e., weakly or sparsely correlated); (ii) how to efficiently detect sparse changes occurring in only a small segment of a few profiles. To fill this research gap, our contributions are twofold. First, we propose a novel Sparse Multi-channel Functional Principal Component Analysis (SMFPCA) to model multi-channel profiles. SMFPCA can not only flexibly describe the correlation structure of multiple, or even high-dimensional, profiles with distinct features, but also achieve sparse PCA scores which are easily interpretable. Second, we propose an efficient convergence-guaranteed optimization algorithm to solve SMFPCA in real time based on the block coordinate descent algorithm. Third, as the SMFPCA scores can naturally identify sparse out-of-control (OC) patterns, we use the scores to construct a monitoring scheme which provides increased sensitivity to sparse OC changes. Numerical studies together with a real case study in a manufacturing system demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed methodology.

description: With downscaling of electronic circuits, components based on semiconductor quantum dots are assuming increasing relevance for future technologies. Their response under external stimuli intrinsically depend on their quantum properties. Here we investigate single-electron tunneling in hard-wall InAs/InP nanowires in the presence of an off-resonant microwave drive. Our heterostructured nanowires include InAs quantum dots (QDs) and exhibit different tunnel-current regimes. In particular, for source-drain bias up to few mV Coulomb diamonds spread with increasing contrast as a function of microwave power and present multiple current polarity reversals. This behavior can be modelled in terms of voltage fluctuations induced by the microwave field and presents features that depend on the interplay of the discrete energy levels that contribute to the tunneling process.
Quantum Computing and Phase Transitions in Combinatorial Search

description: We introduce an algorithm for combinatorial search on quantum computers that is capable of significantly concentrating amplitude into solutions for some NP search problems, on average. This is done by exploiting the same aspects of problem structure as used by classical backtrack methods to avoid unproductive search choices. This quantum algorithm is much more likely to find solutions than the simple direct use of quantum parallelism. Furthermore, empirical evaluation on small problems shows this quantum algorithm displays the same phase transition behavior, and at the same location, as seen in many previously studied classical search methods. Specifically, difficult problem instances are concentrated near the abrupt change from underconstrained to overconstrained problems.

description: The residential architecture in the Algerian Sahara passed through several phases from the precolonial period to the current period. The precolonial period was characterized by traditional (vernacular) architecture with a compact urban fabric but, during the colonization, these communities became subject to architectural and social destruction. At the same time, the appearance of new models for architecture and cultural organization, the European way of life generated by the French colonization, triggered major architectural and urban changes. At independence, the official urban practice was to maintain continuity and relay colonial laws and architectural and urban orientations. Today, the housing sector in the Algerian Saharan cities faces many problems. In each city, the explosion of housing is manifest as several housing types. Moreover, the inhabitants spontaneously try to transform their habitat according to their image of modernity. Methodologically, an analysis of the different demographic and socio-cultural mutations is made, moreover an architectural analysis during the main three phases starting from the precolonial period until now. This article will give an overview of the mutations and transformations of individual habitation typology in the Algerian Sahara. These mutations were multi-level, urban, architectural, and sociocultural.

description: A new language model for speech recognition is presented. The model develops hidden hierarchical syntactic-like structure incrementally and uses it to extract meaningful information from the word history, thus complementing the locality of currently used trigram models. The structured language model (SLM) and its performance in a two-pass speech recognizer --- lattice decoding --- are presented. Experiments on the WSJ corpus show an improvement in both perplexity (PPL) and word error rate (WER) over conventional trigram models.

description: People are living longer than ever due to advances in healthcare, and this has prompted many healthcare providers to look towards remote patient care as a means to meet the needs of the future. It is now a priority to enable people to reside in their own homes rather than in overburdened facilities whenever possible. The increasing maturity of IoT technologies and the falling costs of connected sensors has made the deployment of remote healthcare at scale an increasingly attractive prospect. In this work we demonstrate that we can measure the consistency and regularity of the behaviour of a household using sensor readings generated from interaction with the home environment. We show that we can track changes in this behaviour regularity longitudinally and detect changes that may be related to significant life events or trends that may be medically significant. We achieve this using periodicity analysis on water usage readings sampled from the main household water meter every 15 minutes for over 8 months. We utilise an IoT Application Enablement Platform in conjunction with low cost LoRa-enabled sensors and a Low Power Wide Area Network in order to validate a data collection methodology that could be deployed at large scale in future. We envision the statistical methods described here being applied to data streams from the homes of elderly and at-risk groups, both as a means of early illness detection and for monitoring the well-being of those with known illnesses.

description: Consider a quantum computer in combination with a binary oracle of domain size N. It is shown how N/2+sqrt(N) calls to the oracle are sufficient to guess the whole content of the oracle (being an N bit string) with probability greater than 95%. This contrasts the power of classical computers which would require N calls to achieve the same task. From this result it follows that any function with the N bits of the oracle as input can be calculated using N/2+sqrt(N) queries if we allow a small probability of error. It is also shown that this error probability can be made arbitrary small by using N/2+O(sqrt(N)) oracle queries. In the second part of the article `approximate interrogation' is considered. This is when only a certain fraction of the N oracle bits are requested. Also for this scenario does the quantum algorithm outperform the classical protocols. An example is given where a quantum procedure with N/10 queries returns a string of which 80% of the bits are correct. Any classical protocol would need 6N/10 queries to establish such a correctness ratio.

description: During the past twenty years, the long-term preservation of digital information has only been a matter under consideration for a few scientific or patrimonial institutions. These have played a key role in the understanding of the subsequent risks and the definition of standards in this domain. The best practices rely on four technological risks which are now commonly agreed: the loss of the knowledge of the content, file format obsolescence, aging media causing data loss, sudden software or technology changes. They have been put in place in institutions dealing with text, images, sounds or video where quality assurance procedures have been developed to guarantee the integrity and accessibility of the data. The way this translates into raw, primary data produced by Tier-0 systems will be evaluated as part of this whitepaper.

description: This paper explores the relationship between conflict in the urban environment and natural systems of resiliency found in forests and jungles. Studying the different accounts of inhabitants of cities under siege during the Syrian Civil war, indicates that various sustainable practices were implemented within the built environment that helped inhabitants survive the devastating process. The innovative, circular economy allowed the inhabitants to survive their plight and lessened the intended effects of the destructive sieges. Drawing parallels with how forests and jungles utilize different natural systems, such as mycorrhizal networks, to increase resiliency, many lessons are inferred about sustainable resource management and efficient allocation in the face of different threats. The “Urban Jungle” is thus synthesized as a model that attempts to augment and maximize the practices inhabitants had devised through mimicking the model found in the natural jungle. Applying this model to conflict zones allows the evolution of survival tactics into a form of insurgent resilience, with wider socio-political ramifications on the survivability of the inhabitants, their political will, the effectiveness of the conflict, and sieges as a political tool.

description: The distributed constraint satisfaction problem is a general formalization used to represent problems in distributed multi-agent systems. A large body of problems in artificial intelligence and computer science can be easily formulated as distributed constraint satisfaction problems. In this thesis we study agent ordering, effects of no-goods, search efficiency and threshold repairing in distributed constraint satisfaction problems and its variants. A summary of contributions is as follows: 1. We present a new algorithm, Dynamic Agent Ordering. A distinctive feature of this algorithm is that it uses the degree of unsatisfiability as a guiding parameter to dynamically determine agent ordering during the search. We show through an empirical study that our algorithm performs better than the existing approaches. In our approach, the independence of agents is guaranteed and agents without neighbouring relationships can run concurrently and asynchronously. (Part of this work was published in the Australian Al Conference (80)). 2. We extend the Dynamic Agent Ordering algorithm by incorporating a novel technique called nogood repairing. This results in a dramatic reduction in the nogoods being stored, and communication costs. In an empirical study, we11 show that this approach outperforms an equivalent static ordering algorithm and a current state-of-the-art technique in terms of execution time, memory usage and communication cost. (Part of this work was published at FLAIRS Conference (81)). Further, we introduce a new algorithm, Over-constrained Dynamic Agent Ordering, that breaks new ground in handling multiple variables per agent in distributed over-constrained satisfaction problems. The algorithm also uses the degree of unsatisfiability as a measure for relaxing constraints, and hence as a way to guide the search toward the best optimal solution(s). By applying our Threshold Repair method, we can solve a distributed constraint satisfaction problem without knowing whether the problem is under- or over-constrained. In an experimental study, we show that the new algorithm compares favourably to an implementation of asynchronous weak commitment search adapted to handle over-constrained problems. (Part of this work was published at the Canadian AI conference (79)).

description: What is mucopolysaccharidosis type I?
Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (also called MPS I) is a rare genetic condition that affects most parts of the body. MPS I develops when both parents pass a nonworking copy of the IDUA gene onto their child. This gene carries the information needed for cells to make the alpha-L-iduronidase enzyme, which breaks down complex sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (shortened to GAGs) inside cells. Individuals with MPS I do not produce a working (fully functional) version of the enzyme or might not produce any of it at all. Therefore, GAGs build up in their cells and bodies, which can lead to organ damage. Symptoms of MPS I include an enlarged liver and spleen, abnormal bone development, and specific facial characteristics. It is important to diagnose and treat MPS I as early in life as possible to prevent irreversible organ damage. There are two ways that individuals with MPS I can be treated, depending on how severe their disease is. Individuals with less severe, or ‘attenuated’, MPS I (Hurler-Scheie or Scheie syndrome) typically receive enzyme replacement therapy (shortened to ERT). This replaces the non-functional or missing enzyme. Those with severe MPS I (Hurler syndrome) typically undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (also called HSCT), and ERT may also be used until the transplanted cells start making the enzyme. In HSCT, individuals receive stem cells from healthy donors so that their body can make the life-sustaining enzyme. This study looked at the age when individuals were diagnosed with attenuated or severe MPS I between 2003 and 2017, and the time taken for them to start treatment with ERT or HSCT following their diagnosis, using data from the MPS I Registry.

What were the results?
The age when individuals received a diagnosis of attenuated or severe MPS I did not change during the study period. The time taken from being diagnosed with attenuated MPS I to starting ERT decreased over time. The time taken from being diagnosed with severe MPS I to receiving HSCT was very short for the entire study period.

What do the results of the study mean?
These findings suggest that improvements in MPS I awareness and diagnosis are still needed.

description: We develop a mean field theory for sigmoid belief networks based on ideas from statistical mechanics. Our mean field theory provides a tractable approximation to the true probability distribution in these networks; it also yields a lower bound on the likelihood of evidence. We demonstrate the utility of this framework on a benchmark problem in statistical pattern recognition---the classification of handwritten digits.
