title: Quantifying changes in the ecohydrology of the Great Artesian Basin from space and on-ground observations

description: Changes to groundwater storage (GWS) in the Great Artesian Basin (GAB) are affected by a combination of factors, including the extraction of groundwater, shifts in land use practices, and the effects of climate variability. Collectively, these factors have contributed to a decline in groundwater availability over time in some areas, impacting both the volume of groundwater reserves and the crucial replenishment of springs and surface water sources within the GAB. In the GAB, changes in GWS influence the distribution, extent, and temporal dynamics of spring wetlands and critical ecological functions they sustain. Changes to GWS, due to anthropogenic and climatic factors, can also affect the well-being of humans across Australia as they directly influence agricultural productivity and drinking water access. Reduced environmental flows and limited surface water availability are other negative effects of falling groundwater levels that could have direct or indirect impacts on humans and the productivity of ecosystems. In a changing climate, these impacts are expected to magnify progressively over time. This thesis aimed to quantify ecohydrology of the Great Artesian Basin using remote sensing technology. In this study, the term ecohydrology refers to quantifying multi-scaled relationships between hydrological and ecological processes (e.g., spring wetlands, and associated GDEs) and evaluating human impacts on the aquifer. The thesis assessed the spatio-temporal patterns of hydrological stores (groundwater and terrestrial water storage variations) and their responses to changes in climatic conditions (rainfall and evapotranspiration) using satellite observations between 2002 and 2017. Additionally, this research aimed to assess how GWS variation is related to vegetation greenness, and surface water extent under different climatic extremes (floods and droughts). This thesis also aimed to identify areas where GWS variation is particularly sensitive or vulnerable to the impacts of climate change (so-called climate hotspots) and analyzed the relationships between these hotspots and spatio-temporal changes in GWS over the GAB.

description: Observational studies of collimation in jets in active galactic nuclei (AGN) are a key to understanding their formation and acceleration processes. We have performed an automated search for jet shape transitions in a sample of 367 AGN using VLBA data at 15 GHz and 1.4 GHz. This search has found ten out of 29 nearby jets at redshifts z<0.07 with a transition from a parabolic to conical shape, while the full analyzed sample is dominated by distant AGN with a typical z about 1. The ten AGN are UGC00773, NGC1052, 3C111, 3C120, TXS0815-094, Mrk180, PKS1514+00, NGC6251, 3C371, and BL Lac. We conclude that the geometry transition may be a common effect in AGN jets. It can be observed only when sufficient linear resolution is obtained. Supplementing these results with previously reported shape breaks in the nearby AGN 1H0323+342 and M87, we estimate that the break occurs at 10^5-10^6 gravitational radii from the nucleus. We suggest that the jet shape transition happens when the bulk plasma kinetic energy flux becomes equal to the Poynting energy flux, while the ambient medium pressure is assumed to be governed by Bondi accretion. In general, the break point may not coincide with the Bondi radius. The observational data supports our model predictions on the jet acceleration and properties of the break point.

Subjects: subject: Franchising
subject: Franchise networks
subject: eCommerce
subject: Business strategy

description: This dissertation serves three major purposes: (1) to create new knowledge in the domain of franchising research, (2) to assist future academic inquiry by advancing the understanding of the use of ecommerce in franchising, and (3) to develop a framework to assist franchisors to find suitable models in ecommerce adoption and gain franchisee acceptance. It is proposed that inherent contradictions exist when ecommerce and franchising are combined due to potential eencroachment and franchisee acceptance of the franchisor’s strategy. In addition, ecommerce challenges franchising as a mode of distribution, as it implies a high level of centralisation, whereas franchising prior to the ecommerce age was structured to decentralise the franchisor’s business and distribution arrangements. Therefore, this thesis aims to address questions around how ecommerce can be successfully incorporated into franchise networks, especially those that had not anticipated the onset and the proliferation of ecommerce in their initial structure. These research questions are addressed primarily through qualitative methods of data collection and analysis, although a small part of this thesis contains a quantitative study used to confirm and generalise the findings of the exploratory qualitative phase. This doctoral research consisted of three main phases of data collection and analysis.

description: In recent years, the increasingly important role of China and the reforms pursued by the Chinese government have been major topics of interest for political scientists. However, the emergence of governance discourse in China has largely been ignored. By analyzing this discourse, this paper has the following aims: (1) to introduce the emergence of Chinese discourse within the context of other discourses on political reforms, singling out the dominant concept of governance; (2) to examine various views held by Chinese scholars concerning the adoption of the concept; and (3) to address the question of its political relevance.

description: We give a construction of impurity operators in the `algebraic analysis' picture of RSOS models. Physically, these operators are half-infinite insertions of certain fusion-RSOS Boltzmann weights. They are the face analogue of insertions of higher spin lines in vertex models. Mathematically, they are given in terms of intertwiners of $U(\hat{sl}_2)_q$ modules. We present a detailed perturbation theory check of the conjectural correspondence between the physical and mathematical constructions in a particular simple example.

description: Rising rates of urbanization accompanied by increasing consumption puts the spotlight on how cities can mitigate and adapt to climate change (Wilbankset al. 2007; Sattherthwaiteet al. 2007). Globally, cities are starting to develop policies and plans to adapt to the impacts of climate change (Birkmann et al, 2010; Corburn, 2009; Horton et al. 2010). This is in part driven by the international scientific community that is encouraging adaptation as an important and urgent way to complement on-going mitigation efforts, that have formerly tended to dominate policies and finance (Romero-Lankao 2008). However, in some cases these emerging responses reflect a bottom-up awareness of the need to better plan for climate variability in order to increase the resilience of cities and protect its inhabitants. Many cities in the global South have been slower to develop adaptation responses than some cities in the global North. However, two cities in South Africa, eThekwini and the City of Cape Town, have been leaders in establishing adaptation policies and plans (Roberts 2008, Cartwright et al. 2008, Sattherthwaite 2007, Mukheibir and Ziervogel 2007). Exploring how these have been successful and what the challenges have been is important in developing lessons for other global South cities, where there are large numbers of people exposed to climate hazards. Because climate impacts are one of numerous other challenges, it is necessary to carefully position adaptation within a complex political and institutional landscape. This paper focuses on the five major coastal cities in South Africa, namely the City of Cape Town, Nelson Mandela Bay, Buffalo City, eThekwini and Richards Bay. The analysis is based on interviews in each of these metros undertaken in early 2010 with 17 government actors all involved in adaptation in their different capacities.

description: A variable combination of realistic and random two-body interactions allows the study of collective properties, such as the energy spectra and B(E2) transition strengths in 44Ti, 48Cr and 24Mg. It is found that the average energies of the yrast band states maintain the ordering for any degree of randomness, but the B(E2) values lose their quadrupole collectivity when randomness dominates the Hamiltonian. The high probability of the yrast band to be ordered in the presence of pure random forces exhibits the strong correlations between the different members of the band.

description: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has become an important cause of hospital-acquired infections worldwide. It is one of the most threatening pathogens due to its multi-drug resistance and strong biofilm- forming capacity. Thus, there is an urgent need for novel alternative strategies to combat bacterial infections. Recently, we demonstrated that a novel antimicrobial surface coating, AGXX®, consisting of micro-galvanic elements of the two noble metals, silver and ruthenium, surface-conditioned with ascorbic acid, efficiently inhibits MRSA growth. In this study, we demonstrated that the antimicrobial coating caused a significant reduction in biofilm formation (46%) of the clinical MRSA isolate, S. aureus 04-02981. To understand the molecular mechanism of the antimicrobial coating, we exposed S. aureus 04-02981 for different time-periods to the coating and investigated its molecular response via next-generation RNA-sequencing. A conventional antimicrobial silver coating served as a control. RNA-sequencing demonstrated down-regulation of many biofilm-associated genes and of genes related to virulence of S. aureus. The antimicrobial substance also down-regulated the two-component quorum-sensing system agr suggesting that it might interfere with quorum-sensing while diminishing biofilm formation in S. aureus 04-02981.

 Eunicea knighti Bayer, 1961: 150 (holotype: USNM 50430).
 Description: Elastic and slimy colonies up to 0.5 m in height, surface usually smooth without prominent calyxes (Fig. 8B). Colonies exhibit dichotomous but sparse branching. Branch tips thick and stout. Dry coloration is grey to pale ochre. Sclerites from middle layer ornate and up to 1 mm in length. Anthocodial sclerites include diverse forms and are ornate. Surface layer composed of many torch club sclerites exhibiting congruent rows of ornamentations at the handle.
 Diagnostic features: The axial layer presents pale purple sclerites generally short (<0.17 mm) with two or three very notable ornamentations at each side. In its natural environment, this species resembles the slimy forms of Pseudoplexaura spp. but it can be distinguished by noting the black tentacles of the expanded polyp. It is abundant toward deep reef areas (<20 m).
 Distribution: Widespread in the Caribbean province.

description: In this paper, we suggest a construction of determinant lines of finitely generated Hilbertian modules over finite von Neumann algebras. Nonzero elements of the determinant lines can be viewed as volume forms on the Hilbertian modules. Using this, we study both $L^2$ combinatorial and $L^2$ analytic torsion invariants associated to flat Hilbertian bundles over compact polyhedra and manifolds; we view them as volume forms on the reduced $L^2$ homology and cohomology. These torsion invariants specialize to the the classical Reidemeister-Franz torsion and the Ray-Singer torsion in the finite dimensional case. Under the assumption that the $L^2$ homology vanishes, the determinant line can be canonically identified with $\R$, and our $L^2$ torsion invariants specialize to the $L^2$ torsion invariants previously constructed by A.Carey, V.Mathai and J.Lott. We also show that a recent theorem of Burghelea et al. can be reformulated as stating equality between two volume forms (the combinatorial and the analytic) on the reduced $L^2$ cohomology.

description: The quantitative reconstruction of sub-surface Earth properties from the propagation of waves follows an iterative minimization of a misfit functional. In marine seismic exploration, the observed data usually consist of measurements of the pressure field but dual-sensor devices also provide the normal velocity. Consequently, a reciprocity-based misfit functional is specifically designed, and defines the Full Reciprocity-gap Waveform Inversion (FRgWI ) method. This misfit functional provides additional features compared to the more traditional least-squares approaches with, in particular, that the observational and computational acquisitions can be different. Therefore, the positions and wavelets of the sources from which the measurements are acquired are not needed in the reconstruction procedure and, in fact, the numerical acquisition (for the simulations) can be arbitrarily chosen. Based on three-dimensional experiments, FRgWI is shown to behave better than Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) in the same context. Then, it allows for arbitrary numerical acquisitions in two ways: when few measurements are given, a dense numerical acquisition (compared to the observational one) can be used to compensate. On the other hand, with a dense observational acquisition, a sparse computational one is shown to be sufficient, for instance with multiple-point sources, hence reducing the numerical cost. FRgWI displays accurate reconstructions in both situations and appears more robust with respect to cross-talk than the least-squares shot-stacking.

description: The dearth of prescribing guidelines for physicians is one key driver of the current opioid epidemic in the United States. In this work, we analyze medical and pharmaceutical claims data to draw insights on characteristics of patients who are more prone to adverse outcomes after an initial synthetic opioid prescription. Toward this end, we propose a generative model that allows discovery from observational data of subgroups that demonstrate an enhanced or diminished causal effect due to treatment. Our approach models these sub-populations as a mixture distribution, using sparsity to enhance interpretability, while jointly learning nonlinear predictors of the potential outcomes to better adjust for confounding. The approach leads to human-interpretable insights on discovered subgroups, improving the practical utility for decision support

description: We measure rotation periods and sinusoidal amplitudes in Evryscope light curves for 122 two-minute K5-M4 TESS targets selected for strong flaring. The Evryscope array of telescopes has observed all bright nearby stars in the South, producing two-minute cadence light curves since 2016. Long-term, high-cadence observations of rotating flare stars probe the complex relationship between stellar rotation, starspots, and superflares. We detect periods from 0.3487 to 104 d, and observe amplitudes from 0.008 to 0.216 g' mag. We find the Evryscope amplitudes are larger than those in TESS with the effect correlated to stellar mass (p-value=0.01). We compute the Rossby number (Ro), and find our sample selected for flaring has twice as many intermediate rotators (0.040.44) rotators; this may be astrophysical or a result of period-detection sensitivity. We discover 30 fast, 59 intermediate, and 33 slow rotators. We measure a median starspot coverage of 13% of the stellar hemisphere and constrain the minimum magnetic field strength consistent with our flare energies and spot coverage to be 500 G, with later-type stars exhibiting lower values than earlier-types. We observe a possible change in superflare rates at intermediate periods. However, we do not conclusively confirm the increased activity of intermediate rotators seen in previous studies. We split all rotators at Ro~0.2 into Prot<10 d and Prot>10 d bins to confirm short-period rotators exhibit higher superflare rates, larger flare energies, and higher starspot coverage than do long-period rotators, at p-values of 3.2 X 10^-5, 1.0 X 10^-5, and 0.01, respectively.

description: We show that the transverse-momentum spectra of all hadrons measured at RHIC, including hyperons, are described very well in a thermal model assuming the simultaneous chemical and thermal freeze-outs. The model calculation takes into account all hadronic resonances and uses a simple parametrization of the freeze-out hypersurface.

description: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating degenerative joint disease affecting 27 million Americans over the age of 25. Whereas OA is a disease of the entire joint organ, the contribution of the synovium, a specialized lining that envelops the knee joint, to cartilage degeneration and disease progression has been underappreciated. Synovial inflammation often precedes the development of cartilage damage and is observed in early and late stage OA. The onset of synovitis is driven by both elevated concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines and tissue debris in the joint space.  Accordingly, surgeons have observed cartilaginous debris embedded within the synovium of OA patients presenting with severe synovial hyperplasia.  It has been hypothesized that the fibrotic shortening of the synovial capsule results in OA pain and joint stiffness and contributes to further joint destruction through the release of degradative enzymes.  Current strategies to treat synovial inflammation and joint pain, such as intra-articular injections and synovectomy, have had limited and variable success.
                  To this end, cell and tissue engineering culture models provide a versatile platform to study the tissues and cells involved in OA.  Our lab has typically employed mechanical overload or cytokine insult of chondrocytes and cartilage explants to study cartilage degradation.   Similarly, to isolate the role of synovium in OA, synovial explants or fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) can be exposed to chemical or physical OA stimuli.  Although often overlooked as an instigator of OA, cartilage wear particles have been reported to induce synovial inflammation and OA-like joint changes in various animal models.  As opposed to non-biologic (metal or plastic) wear particles, small (sub-10um) cartilage wear particles are comprised of extracellular matrix constituents that are degradable and may interact with cells beyond phagocytosis. Using cells derived from the pathologic joint provides the opportunity to study inherent changes to OA cells (both FLS and chondrocytes) within their own de novo extracellular matrix. The work presented in this dissertation aims to combine knowledge from basic science and pre-clinical culture models of OA to develop a clinically relevant disease model using cells derived from clinical samples.

Twisted traces of quantum intertwiners and quantum dynamical R-matrices corresponding to generalized Belavin-Drinfeld triples

Subjects: subject: Quantum Algebra (math.QA)

description: This paper is a continuation of math.QA/9907181 and math.QA/9908115. We consider traces of intertwiners between certain representations of the quantized enveloping algebra associated to a semisimple complex Lie algebra g, which are twisted by a ``generalized Belavin-Drinfeld triple'', i.e a triple consisting of two subdiagrams of the Dynkin diagram of g together with an isomorphism between them. The generating functions F(lambda,mu) for such traces depend on two weights lambda and mu. We show that F(lambda,mu) satisfy two sets of difference equations in the variable lambda: the Macdonald-Ruijsenaars (MR) equations and the quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov (qKZB) equations. These equations involve as a main ingredient the quantum dynamical R-matrices constructed in math.QA/9912009. When the generalized Belavin-Drinfeld triple is an automorphism, we show that F(lambda,mu) satisfy another two sets of difference equations with respect to the weight mu. These dual MR and dual qKZB equations involve the usual Felder's dynamical R-matrix. These results were first obtained by the first author and A. Varchenko in the special case of the trivial Belavin-Drinfeld triple. However, the symmetry between lambda and mu which exists in that case is destroyed in the twisted setting. At the end, we brielfly treat the (simialr) case of Kac-Moody algebras g and derive the classical limits of all the previous results.

Quasi-ALE metrics with holonomy SU(m) and Sp(m)

description: This is the sequel to "Asymptotically Locally Euclidean metrics with holonomy SU(m)", math.AG/9905041. Let G be a subgroup of U(m), and X a resolution of C^m/G. We define a special class of Kahler metrics g on X called Quasi Asymptotically Locally Euclidean (QALE) metrics. These satisfy a complicated asymptotic condition, implying that g is asymptotic to the Euclidean metric on C^m/G away from its singular set. When C^m/G has an isolated singularity, QALE metrics are just ALE metrics. Our main interest is in Ricci-flat QALE Kahler metrics on X. We prove an existence result for Ricci-flat QALE Kahler metrics: if G is a subgroup of SU(m) and X a crepant resolution of C^m/G, then there is a unique Ricci-flat QALE Kahler metric on X in each Kahler class. This is proved using a version of the Calabi conjecture for QALE manifolds. We also determine the holonomy group of the metrics in terms of G. These results will be applied in the author's book ("Compact manifolds with special holonomy", to be published by OUP, 2000) to construct new examples of compact 7- and 8-manifolds with exceptional holonomy. They can also be used to describe the Calabi-Yau metrics on resolutions of a Calabi-Yau orbifold.

description: The discovery of novel materials and functional molecules can help to solve some of society's most urgent challenges, ranging from efficient energy harvesting and storage to uncovering novel pharmaceutical drug candidates. Traditionally matter engineering -- generally denoted as inverse design -- was based massively on human intuition and high-throughput virtual screening. The last few years have seen the emergence of significant interest in computer-inspired designs based on evolutionary or deep learning methods. The major challenge here is that the standard strings molecular representation SMILES shows substantial weaknesses in that task because large fractions of strings do not correspond to valid molecules. Here, we solve this problem at a fundamental level and introduce SELFIES (SELF-referencIng Embedded Strings), a string-based representation of molecules which is 100\% robust. Every SELFIES string corresponds to a valid molecule, and SELFIES can represent every molecule. SELFIES can be directly applied in arbitrary machine learning models without the adaptation of the models; each of the generated molecule candidates is valid. In our experiments, the model's internal memory stores two orders of magnitude more diverse molecules than a similar test with SMILES. Furthermore, as all molecules are valid, it allows for explanation and interpretation of the internal working of the generative models.

title: Two Sides of the Same Coin? An Investigation into Factors Influencing Employees' Intentions to Stay and Leave
Creators: name: Radford, Katrina
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Job satisfaction
subject: Australian aged care sector

description: This study investigated Australian aged care employees’ intentions to stay and leave. Much research has been conducted on why people leave; however, an emerging body of research is also examining why people stay. While a few studies have investigated the factors influencing employees’ intentions to stay and leave, only one study (Howe, King, Ellis, Wells, Wei, & Teshuva, 2012) has investigated the factors influencing Australian aged care employees’ intentions to stay and leave. No study, however, has investigated the combined influence of personal factors (age, education status, marital status, tenure, perceived health of self and family, employment status, and area of employment) and organisational factors (perceived organisational support, perceived supervisor support, job embeddedness, and job satisfaction) on employees’ intentions to stay and leave. Additionally, there has been no study that has investigated these factors using the “Resource-Based View of the Firm”, which is the theoretical framework for this study. Therefore, this study makes original contributions to the literature. Examining employees’ intentions to stay and leave is particularly important within the Australian aged care sector, which is characterised by high turnover, an ageing workforce, and the impact of the global shortages of nurses (King et al., 2012). Consequently, research that investigates the factors affecting the sustainability of this sector, such as employee retention and turnover, is needed. Only one study has investigated the similarities and differences in the factors influencing both community care and residential care (i.e., long-term care institutions) employees’ intentions to stay and leave (Howe et al., 2012). However, that study was limited in the data collected by the national census of aged care employees and as such did not study the same variables as the present study. Therefore, the present study makes valuable contributions to understanding the Australian aged care sector by investigating further similarities and differences among the factors influencing intentions in these two groups of employees, as well as providing additional knowledge to the sector regarding the general factors influencing employees’ intentions to stay and leave.
