description: At extreme pressures and temperatures, such as those inside planets and stars, common materials form new dense phases with compacted atomic arrangements and unusual physical properties. The synthesis and study of new phases of matter at pressures above 100GPa and temperatures above 10 4 K - warm dense matter - may reveal the functional details of planet and star interiors, and may lead to materials with extraordinary properties. Many phases have been predicted theoretically that may be realized once appropriate formation conditions are found. Here we report the synthesis of a superdense stable phase of body-centredcubic aluminium, predicted by first-principles theories to exist at pressures above 380GPa. The superdense Al phase was synthesized in the non-equilibrium conditions of an ultrafast laser-induced microexplosion confined inside sapphire (α-Al2o3). Confined microexplosions offer a strategy to create and recover high-density polymorphs, and a simple method for tabletop study of warm dense matter.

Modelling, Simulation and Analysis of Deshopping Using A Multi-Agent Based Method
Creators: name: Rahman, Shawkat
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2021

description: Deshopping has been highlighted in recent media and academic research for its role in today’s retail supply chain losses. There is much interest in studying the unintended consequences of deshopping in a modern-day retail operation. Simulation can be useful tool for modelling different aspects of retail operations, particularly sales and returns operations with consumer and retailers. This thesis is an exploratory attempt at using Agent-based modelling and simulation (ABMS) to show how deshopper behave in a retail environment. There exists a gap in modelling of deshopping in retail landscapes. This thesis is first of its kind in an effort to bring rational choice modelling, shop choice, return leniency, opinion dynamics and churn using agent-based modelling and MoHuB framework into focus. It also combines questionnaire survey, ABM modelling and validation interview. The thesis focuses on the use of agent-based modelling and simulation to demonstrate how to model deshopper behaviour withing a retail environment and how this behaviour is related to utility, return leniency and churn. A discussion of the limitations of such a study is also included. The findings of the research demonstrate that ABMS is suited to simulate consumer behaviour in a retail environment. The main contributions of the thesis are: 1. An Approach to explain deshopping using Rational choice theory 2. A model to study deshopper behaviour and retail performance. 3. How return leniency drives deshopping behaviour

description: The thesis looks at three conflicts related to the 2014 World Cup preparation in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. In each of the cases, affected groups – informal workers, informal residents and middle-class citizens – engage with the state to claim rights over space. It examines how the entanglements between social class and legal/institutional developments engendered through “peripheral urbanisation” shape the capacities of those groups to affect formal/informal boundaries and have their demands legitimated.
 This research draws on the findings from a fieldwork in Belo Horizonte, which lasted eight months in total between 2014 and 2016 and involved archival research, participant observation and semi-structured interviews with relevant actors. Three cases are considered, which include: the Mineirão stadium redevelopment that displaced a group of informal workers while creating a conflict in a middle-class neighbourhood; the demolition of an informal settlement to make way for a transport infrastructure project; the construction of a hotel in a middle-class area against the will of local residents.
 The thesis presents three key findings. Firstly, the urban space production is affected by citizens’ capacity to engage with the state. While the state-society boundaries are blurry, citizens are unevenly empowered to have their demands validated and avoid displacement, i.e. the loss of place. Secondly, while informal residents have their rights partially recognised thanks to the “insurgent citizenship” struggles of the past, informal workers are not entitled to compensation because of the disassociation of work informality debates from spatial considerations. Finally, middle-class politics matter, as middle-class residents are better equipped to validate their claims and protect their place in the city.
 The research contributes to recent postcolonial debates on urban space production and informality. I show that both informal working and housing practices are interconnected through the place-making strategies of the urban poor as well as of the urban middle-class, all of which generate important implications for the reproduction of socio-spatial segregation and thinking of the Brazilian urban future.
Direct shear mapping - a new weak lensing tool

description: We have developed a new technique called direct shear mapping (DSM) to measure gravitational lensing shear directly from observations of a single background source. The technique assumes the velocity map of an unlensed, stably rotating galaxy will be rotationally symmetric. Lensing distorts the velocity map making it asymmetric. The degree of lensing can be inferred by determining the transformation required to restore axisymmetry. This technique is in contrast to traditional weak lensing methods, which require averaging an ensemble of background galaxy ellipticity measurements, to obtain a single shear measurement. We have tested the efficacy of our fitting algorithm with a suite of systematic tests on simulated data. We demonstrate that we are in principle able to measure shears as small as 0.01. In practice, we have fitted for the shear in very low redshift (and hence unlensed) velocity maps, and have obtained null result with an error of ±0.01. This high-sensitivity results from analysing spatially resolved spectroscopic images (i.e. 3D data cubes), including not just shape information (as in traditional weak lensing measurements) but velocity information as well. Spirals and rotating ellipticals are ideal targets for this new technique. Data from any large Integral Field Unit (IFU) or radio telescope is suitable, or indeed any instrument with spatially resolved spectroscopy such as the Sydney-Australian-Astronomical Observatory Multi-Object Integral Field Spectrograph (SAMI), the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), the Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX) and the Square Kilometer Array (SKA).

description: Raman microscopy systems are becoming increasingly widespread and accessible for characterising chemical species. Microfluidic systems are also progressively finding their way into real world applications. Therefore, it is anticipated that the integration of Raman systems with microfluidics will become increasingly attractive and practical. This review aims to provide an overview of Raman microscopy-microfluidics integrated systems for researchers who are actively interested in utilising these tools. The fundamental principles and application strengths of Raman microscopy are discussed in the context of microfluidics. Various configurations of microfluidics that incorporate Raman microscopy methods are presented, with applications highlighted. Data analysis methods are discussed, with a focus on assisting the interpretation of Raman-microfluidics data from complex samples. Finally, possible future directions of Raman-microfluidic systems are presented.

description: Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) allows the detection of sub-monolayer adsorbates on nanostructured metal surfaces (typically gold or silver). The technique has generated interest for applications in biosensing, high-resolution chemical mapping and surface science. SERS is generated by the localized surface plasmon resonance that occurs when the nano-metal is exposed to laser light. These plasmonic effects rely on features as small as ∼1 nm, which poses a challenge for the fabrication of sensitive and reproducible substrates. Consequently a wide range of nanofabrication techniques have been used to make SERS substrates. Further challenges are encountered when transferring wafer-scale techniques to the tips of optical fibers in order to produce devices for in vivo SERS sensing. Here we describe fiber tip substrates based on miniaturization by fiber drawing, physical vapor deposition and nanoimprint lithography. Despite recent progress, the fabrication of sensitive, reproducible and affordable SERS fiber sensors remains an unresolved problem.
An exploration of the impact of principal leadership behaviour on school culture
Creators: name: Numkanisorn, Nicholas
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2004

description: Thailand is entering into a new phase of educational administration under the new National Education Act of 1999 which requires all educational institutions to have internal and external quality assurance in order to ensure improvement of educational quality and standards at all levels (Section 47). This means that all educational institutions, especially in the private sector, have to undergo many changes, including changes in administration, teaching and learning processes, methods of evaluation and professional development programs. The current study focused specifically on the transformational leadership behaviour of principals on school culture. Culture is considered to be a key factor in determining whether school improvement is possible (Deal & Peterson, 1999). The study was conducted in two phases: quantitative and a qualitative, and carried out in the secondary schools of the Brothers of St. Gabriel, in Thailand. In the quantitative phase, the researcher used two instruments, namely the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ, Short form) developed by Bass (2000) to measure the leadership behaviour of principals, and the School Culture Survey developed by Gruenert (1998) to measure school culture. The results from the quantitative study were used to select a school for the second phase of the study that was carried out using a qualitative approach. The quantitative findings provided descriptive evidence that transformational leadership existed in the schools of the Brothers of St. Gabriel, in Thailand and the dominant culture of the Gabrieltie schools was Professional Development. In addition, the findings also revealed that there was a significant relationship between leadership behaviour and school culture. In the second phase, the leadership behaviour of the selected principal was interpreted based on transformational leadership applied in a school setting. This process was outlined by Leithwood (1996) as frame of reference to identify a pattern of leadership behaviour of the selected principal. The findings revealed that the selected principal exercised the qualities of transformational leadership to some extent. Some qualities were missing and some were practised to a moderate degree. The study helps provide guidance and direction to principals who wish to exercise their leadership in a more appropriate and relevant way particularly in a context of change.

The Butterfly Model of Careers Planning and Chance, its existence and the utility of intervention, in the career education of secondary to post-secondary students.
Creators: name: Borg, Anthony
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2015

description: This research project aims to explore the perceived experience of planning and chance in the career experience of secondary students as they graduate from school and move in to post school pathways and the utility of chance related intervention in high school career education. To acknowledge a relationship between chance and planning in career paths will involve a shift from traditional career counselling, which for much of the past hundred years had been fairly linear, to embracing nonlinear models. One of the cornerstones that career counselling has been built on is that career development is linear and rational (Guindon and Hanna, 2002). Various authors and studies have suggested that we live in a complex world resulting in careers that are not always linear (Baumgardner 1976; Salomone and Slaney 1981; Scott and Hatalla 1990; Betsworth and Hansen 1996; Pryor and Bright 2003) and that in the interest of better serving our clients we need to explore ways to incorporate this into career counselling. Krumboltz (1998) proposes that we need to reconsider our career counselling approach to include the significance of unexpected change. The author does not claim to discredit traditional approaches to career counselling but to investigate supplementing these with an approach that includes both planning and chance. This thesis will investigate existing literature on the role of unplanned events and careers as well as carry out research with secondary to post-secondary students to establish firstly, the perceived experience of unplanned events in their career paths and secondly, the utility of chance related career counselling intervention. The research will take place with students from a comprehensive high school of approximately 750 students in New South Wales from a “realist constructivist” epistemology (Robson 2002). Two groups of studies are proposed. The first studies will involve a phone interview eighteen months after participants have completed high school which will compare their current career pathway with the one planned in school. The second group of studies will explore the utility of chance related career lessons compared to more traditional Trait and factor matching in high school career education settings.

County records: Lake, Livingston, Manistee, St. Clair, Van Buren, Washtenaw, Wexford.
Notes. Scott et al. (2011) noted that type material of this species from Colorado and Illinois may not be conspecific and could not confirm presence in Colorado of material matching N. lepida from the eastern United States as described by Mitchell (1962) and identified by that author. They therefore removed this species from the fully confirmed Colorado state list. However, the male lectotype in the ANSP designated by Cresson (1916) was collected in Pike’s Peak, Colorado, making that occurrence correct by definition. The type series of lepida may prove to have been composite, and this would explain failure by Scott et al. (2011) to confirm non-type lepida from Colorado that match this species sensu Mitchell (1962) and as identified by subsequent bee specialists working on the eastern fauna. If lepida sensu Mitchell (1962) do diverge from the Colorado lectotype, then populations from the eastern United States, including Michigan, may require description as a new species unless another name is found to be applicable.

description: One of the key objectives of the ERIGrid 2.0 project is the virtual integration of geographically distributed Research Infrastructures to realise the vision of a joint virtual Research Infrastructure. Towards this end, this work focused on developing laboratory-based middleware and data exchange as a service, respectively. The middleware is a set of shared software tools and services to seamlessly integrate Research Infrastructure (RI)s, such as transport protocols, interface semantics, etc. This document presents the summary of the work undertaken in the two tasks, more specially:

Software development of a simplified and standardised interface, i.e., Universal Application Programming Interface. The Universal Application Programming Interface eliminates the need for users to understand the diverse details of each individual Research Infrastructure, by providing a tool-agnostic interface for accessing and interacting with other Research Infrastructures. It has been designed to support various applications, such as co-simulation and distributed laboratory experiments. The Universal Application Programming Interface is an integral part of the middleware and seeks to simplify the process of joint multi-RI experiments.

Proof-of-concept of data exchange between multiple Research Infrastructures as a service using the developed Universal Application Programming Interface. This demonstration shows how the chosen middleware development covers the required services for data exchange.

This document also provides example documentation for the developed software tools with links to the respective code repositories to enable Research Infrastructure integration.

description: OBJECTIVE - We examined the associations of sitting time and television (TV) viewing time with continuously measured biomarkers of cardio-metabolic risk in Australian adults. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - Waist circumference, BM1, resting blood pressure, triglycerides, FIDL cholesterol, fasting and 2-h postload plasma glucose, and fasting insulin were measured in 2,761 women and 2,103 men aged >= 30 years (mean age 54 years) without clinically diagnosed diabetes from the 2004-2005 Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle (AusDiab) study. Multivariate linear regression analyses examined associations of self-reported sitting time and TV viewing time (hours per day) with these biornarkers, adjusting for potential confounding variables. RESULTS - For both women and men, sitting time was detrimentally associated with waist circumference, BM1, systolic blood pressure, fasting triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, 2-h postload plasma glucose, and fasting insulin (all P < 0.05), but not with fasting plasma glucose and diastolic blood pressure (men only). With the exception of FIDL cholesterol and systolic blood pressure in women, the associations remained significant after further adjustment for waist circumference. TV viewing time was detrimentally associated with all metabolic measures in women and all except FIDL cholesterol and blood pressure in men. Only fasting insulin and glucose (men only) remained deleteriously associated with TV viewing time after adjustment for waist circumference. CONCLUSIONS - in women and men, sitting time and TV viewing time were deleteriously associated with cardio-metabolic risk biomarkers, with sitting time having more consistent associations in both sexes and being independent of central adiposity. Preventive initiatives aimed at reducing sitting time should focus on both nonleisure and leisure-time domains.
Soak up the goodness: Discourses of Australian childhoods on television advertisements, 2006-2012
Creators: name: Drew, Christopher
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2013

description: "Childhood is represented on Australian television advertising so frequently as to be commonplace. Traversing childhood, cultural and media studies disciplines, this thesis works to disrupt and unsettle taken for granted and exclusionary cultural assumptions about childhood that emerge through contemporary television advertisements. I conduct social semiotic and discourse analyses across a corpus of 330 advertisements spanning 2006 to 2012, considering the ways the Australian childhood subject is discursively produced through the advertisements. The television advertisements are found to construct Australian childhood subjectivities in ways that are limiting in terms of race, space, gender and social class. Considering the role of consumption in the reproduction of subjectivity in the contemporary neoliberal context, the advertisements come to be read as addressing viewers as agentive actors exercising choice and aspiring to formulate subjectivities through consumption. In this sense, the advertisements work to encourage agentive viewers to consume in order to achieve idealised yet exclusionary Australian childhood subjectivities. The exclusionary discourses are employed and idealised by advertisers to secure consumption; however, it is also argued that the advertisements simultaneously reinforce and naturalise exclusionary understandings of Australian childhoods through their reiteration. From a post-structuralist perspective which considers cultural truths to emerge through discourse, I argue that the limited representations of Australian childhoods on television advertisements produce and foreclose cultural ways of understanding Australian childhood. Throughout the thesis, I work to challenge representational foreclosures of Australian childhood subjectivities within the advertising texts, in order that cultural truths about Australian childhood subjectivities might be unsettled and unjust representations challenged. Such a critique of limiting discursive representations of Australian childhood matters, I contest, because unjust and exclusionary discourses of Australian childhood can sustain symbolic and performative disadvantage for Australian children and adults alike, particularly those who continue to be excluded from public recognition in a nation that presumes to be inclusive and egalitarian."

The influence of objectivity, competence, and work performance on external auditors' judgements relating to the internal audit function in Jordan
Creators: name: Alsukker, Ashraf
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2014

description: This thesis presents empirical research on the perceptions of external auditors (EAs) regarding the impact of three dimensions of auditing, namely the objectivity of the Internal Audit Function (IAF), the competence of the IAF, and the work performance of the IAF, on (1) the effectiveness of the IAF in Jordanian companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) and (2) EAs’ decisions to rely on the work of internal auditors (IAs). In addition, this thesis investigates Jordanian EAs’ level of self-insight into the importance of the three dimensions when (1) evaluating the effectiveness of the IAF and (2) deciding on the degree of reliance on IAs.
The unblemished concubine: Representations of Anne Boleyn in the English written word, 2000-2012
Creators: name: Saxton, Laura
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2015

description: Anne Boleyn, the second wife of Henry VIII, has been the subject of fictional and nonfictional historical narratives since her execution in 1536. Although already a contentious figure for her role in Henry VIII’s annulment of his first marriage and England’s ensuing break from the Roman Catholic Church, the nature of her death ensured that she would become a focus of examination, intrigue and scrutiny. This fascination is, in part, fuelled by limited primary source materials, particularly from Boleyn’s perspective; there is an accepted, familiar narrative of her life that is defined by landmark events, however we cannot know precisely how she experienced these events. The reasons for her death are unclear because conclusive evidence confirming either her guilt or her innocence is yet to be uncovered. This combination of fascination and ambiguity means that Anne Boleyn is an apt case study for a consideration of the tensions between history and fiction that appear in all historical narratives. In recent decades, postmodern historiography has highlighted the literary qualities of histories, and scholars such as Hayden White have drawn attention to the narrativisation, emplotment and characterisation that occur in both fictional and non-fictional histories. The role of the historian as author—rather than as objective observer—has been integral to such scholarship. This study examines ten twenty-firstcentury historical narratives, encompassing a range of historical writing, including academic histories, popular biographies, historiographic metafiction and historical fiction. In spite of variations in style, audience, genre and veracity, each of the focus texts constructs both a characterisation of Boleyn and a narrative of her life. A close textual analysis of these narratives reveals that there are representational techniques and practices that are shared by the authors, regardless of their claims to authenticity and accuracy. Thus, the thesis rejects the apparent disjuncture between fictional and non-fictional histories on the basis of their capacity to relate truth, and argues that these texts should each be considered examples of historical writing.

Holotype. ♂ USA: Michigan: Washtenaw Co.: Ann Arbor, 9 May 1935, I.J. Cantrall (UMMZ).
County records: Washtenaw.
Notes. The taxonomy and identification of N. ochlerata requires additional study. This species, described from the male only, may prove to be associated with one described from females only, such as N. xanthura Cockerell (see also other poorly understood brown-spined forms such as N. mendica Mitchell, described from the male, and N. composita described from the female; these should all be compared with N. gracilis Cresson, now known from both sexes following association of N. inepta Mitchell as a synonym).

Using the topology of large-scale structure in the WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey as a cosmological standard ruler

Year: 2024

description: We present new and accurate measurements of the cosmic distance-redshift relation, spanning 0.2 < z < 1, using the topology of large-scale structure as a cosmological standard ruler. Our results derive from an analysis of the Minkowski functionals of the density field traced by the WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey. The Minkowski functionals are a set of statistics which completely describe the topological nature of each isodensity surface within the field, as a function of the density value. Given the shape of the underlying matter power spectrum, measured by fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background radiation, the expected amplitudes of the Minkowski functionals are specified as an excursion set of a Gaussian random field, with minimal non-Gaussian corrections for the smoothing scales ≥10 h−1 Mpc considered in this analysis. The measured amplitudes then determine the cosmic distance DV(z), which we obtain with 3-7 per cent accuracies in six independent redshift slices, with the standard ruler originating in the known curvature of the model power spectrum at the smoothing scale. We introduce a new method for correcting the topological statistics for the sparse-sampling of the density field by the galaxy tracers, and validate our overall methodology using mock catalogues from N-body simulations. Our distance measurements are consistent with standard models which describe the cosmic expansion history, and with previous analyses of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAOs) detected by the WiggleZ Survey, with the topological results yielding a higher distance precision by a factor of 2. However, the full redshift-space power-spectrum shape is required to recover the topological distances, in contrast to the preferred length scale imprinted by BAOs, which is determined by simpler physics.

description: The previously clear division between small galaxies and massive star clusters is now occupied by objects called ultra-compact dwarfs (UCDs) and compact ellipticals (cEs). Here we combine a sample of UCDs and cEs with velocity dispersions from the AIMSS project with literature data to explore their dynamical-to-stellar mass ratios. We confirm that the mass ratios of many UCDs in the stellar mass range 106-109 M⊙ are systematically higher than those for globular clusters which have mass ratios near unity. However, at the very highest masses in our sample, i.e. 109-1010 M⊙, we find that cE galaxies also have mass ratios of close to unity, indicating their central regions are mostly composed of stars. Suggested explanations for the elevated mass ratios of UCDs have included a variable IMF, a central black hole, and the presence of dark matter. Here we present another possible explanation, i.e. tidal stripping. Under various assumptions, we find that the apparent variation in the mass ratio with stellar mass and stellar density can be qualitatively reproduced by published tidal stripping simulations of a dwarf elliptical galaxy. In the early stages of the stripping process the galaxy is unlikely to be in virial equilibrium. At late stages, the final remnant resembles the properties of ∼107 M⊙ UCDs. Finally, we discuss the need for more detailed realistic modelling of tidal stripping over a wider range of parameter space, and observations to further test the stripping hypothesis.
