description: Little is known about domestic violence experienced by Thai pregnant women. This exploratory descriptive study aimed to investigate the prevalence of domestic violence during pregnancy and immediate postpartum period among Thai women aged between 18 and 45 years. The study also aimed to investigate maternal and neonatal outcomes for childbearing women, the ways in which they dealt with domestic violence, barriers that inhibited them from seeking help or resisting violence, as well as the needs and support that would be helpful in dealing with domestic violence. A cohort of 421 women in their third trimester of pregnancy was recruited from two tertiary public hospital antenatal clinics located in Khon Kaen Province, Northeastern Thailand. Structured questionnaires were used. Participants were again contacted at six weeks postpartum either in person at the family planning clinics or by telephone. Two hundred and seventy-four women were able to be contacted. The results showed that 53.7% of women reported psychological abuse, 26.6% experienced threats of and/or acts of physical abuse, and 19.2% experienced sexual violence during the current pregnancy. In the postpartum period, 35.4% of women reported psychological abuse, 9.5% reported threats of and/or acts of physical abuse, and 11.3% experienced sexual abuse. Women who were abused during pregnancy showed significantly poorer health status compared to non-abused women in role emotional functioning, vitality, bodily pain, mental health and social functioning. Women who experienced postpartum abuse reported significantly lower mean scores in mental health and social functioning than women who did not. Antepartum haemorrhage was also found to be statistically associated with physical abuse. No statistical differences were found between abuse status and neonatal outcomes. There were several strategies used by abused women in dealing with domestic violence to maximize their safety including crying, keeping quiet, leaving violent situations and temporarily staying with relatives, seeking help from others, and notifying local authorities. Support services that would be helpful for abused women in dealing with the problem included emotional support, social legal assistance, and community health promotion. Domestic violence during pregnancy and after birth is an increasing but under-recognized problem in Thailand. It has pervasive consequences on maternal health. The findings from this study suggest more interventions and urgent domestic violence support services need to be established in this remote area of Thailand. This study also suggests routine screening for domestic violence should be established to provide effective early intervention and prevention of adverse consequences of violence, as pregnancy is a time when most pregnant women seek health care.

title: Performance preparation of Paul Hindemith's three Sonatas for Viola and Piano: Practice strategies to provide musical insight and technical control

Subjects: subject: Paul Hindemith

subject: Performance preparation
subject: Sonata

description: This thesis aims to provide materials useful for the preparation and performance of the Hindemith’s three Viola Sonata with Piano: Sonata Op. 11 No. 4 (1919), Sonata Op. 25 No. 4 (1922), Sonata (1939). It serves directly as a practical source for violists and teachers who are learning the sonatas to consult students. The project considers different resources available including relevant historical contextual information about Hindemith’s life, his compositional style and history surrounding the three viola sonatas and piano. It recommends different available recordings of the sonatas for insight and provides suggestions to additional complementary resources for further reading. Much of this project however focuses on the practice processes I employed to enhance my performance of the sonatas. These include providing guidance on how to formulate musical ideas specific to the piece, various practice strategies for challenging aspects and specifically investigate different processes of technique, such as sound production, intonation, shifting and bow distribution. Assisted by the opinions and explorations of professional violists, this project will document and reflect various practice strategies I have employed in preparing the Viola Sonatas with piano. Every musician has their own personal process to learn a piece, so it is not my intention to propose my method as the sole or best method of learning the sonatas. Rather, it serves as a guide to provide performers with further options on learning the sonatas themselves as efficiently as possible and enlisting as many available resources relevant to the sonatas to encourage players to learn the works themselves. The practice principles established within this project assisting with technique, interpretation are transferrable and can be directly applicable to the twentieth-century works or other contemporary works.

On the basis of the main mechanisms of the $pd\to dp$ process, including initial and final state interaction, we show that unpolarized cross section and spin observables of this reaction exhibit important properties of the half-off-shell $pp(^1S_0)$-scattering amplitude, which are relevant to the nucleon-nucleon interaction at short distances.

description: Soil moisture (q) is a key variable for agriculture, however a gap remains in observations at intermediate scales, the cosmic-ray neutron sensor (CRNS) is a novel tool for such applications. We designed an experiment using a CRNS and time domain reflectometry (TDR at vegetated and bare soil sites) to measure q in the Yaqui Valley, where wheat (Triticum spp) is the main crop and water is managed by flooded irrigation. We used a drydown analysis of the daily rate at which q is lost (qdecay) after every irrigation, and the amount of q that represents 1/3 of the remaining q as soil dries (qthreshold). Statistical analysis included multivariate correlations (Spearman) and a principal components analysis (PCA) using q , meteorological variables, and vegetation greenness. With TDR’s we observed differences in qdecay, it was higher at the vegetation site qdecay= 0.53 cm3/cm3 /day, while qthreshold was higher at bare soil site 0.33 cm3/cm3. The qdecay observed with the CRNS was higher for the 2nd and 3rd irrigation (0.7 cm3/cm3 /day and 0.16 cm3/cm3 /day, respectively). After each irrigation, the meteorological variables correlated with q varied, highlighting air temperature (Tair, r=-0.7) in the 1st irrigation, evapotranspiration (ET, r>0.5) and vapor pressure deficit (VPD, r=0.6, r=-0.8) for the 2nd and 3rd irrigation, and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI, r=0.8) for the 3rd irrigation. The variation explained by PC1 and PC2 increases with each irrigation event, relevant variables in PCA where q, Tair, VPD, NDVI, and precipitation. The results of this study suggest that CRNS is a suitable technique at field scale and that drydown curves are useful to quantify soil dryness and the influence of meteorological variables and crop development, thus providing an opportunity for water management in agriculture.

Electronic Structure and Phase Stability of Yb-filled CoSb$_3$ Skutterudite Thermoelectrics from First Principles

description: Filling the large voids in the crystal structure of the skutterudite CoSb$_3$ with rattler atoms $R$ provides an avenue for both increasing carrier concentration and disrupting lattice heat transport, leading to impressive thermoelectric performance. While the influence of $R$ on the lattice dynamics of skutterudite materials has been well studied, the phase stability of $R$-filled skutterudite materials and the influence of the presence and ordering of $R$ on the electronic structure remain unclear. Here, focusing on the Yb-filled skutterudite Yb$_x$Co$_4$Sb$_{12}$, we employ first-principles methods to compute the phase stability and electronic structure. Yb-filled CoSb$_3$ exhibits (1) a mild tendency for phase separation into Yb-rich and Yb-poor regions and (2) a strong tendency for chemical decomposition into Co--Sb and Yb--Sb binaries (i.e., CoSb$_3$, CoSb$_2$, and YbSb$_2$). We find that, at reasonable synthesis temperatures, configurational entropy stabilizes single-phase solid solutions with limited Yb solubility, in agreement with experiments. Filling CoSb$_3$ with Yb increases the band gap, enhances the carrier effective masses, and generates new low-energy ``emergent'' conduction band minima, which is distinct from the traditional band convergence picture of aligning the energies of existing band extrema. The explicit presence of $R$ is necessary to achieve the emergent conduction band minima, though the rattler ordering does not strongly influence the electronic structure. The emergent conduction bands are spatially localized in the Yb-rich regions, unlike the delocalized electronic states at the Brillouin zone center that form the unfilled skutterudite band edges.

description: Interaction in virtual reality (VR) environments is essential to achieve a pleasant and immersive experience. Most of the currently existing VR applications, lack of robust object grasping and manipulation, which are the cornerstone of interactive systems. Therefore, we propose a realistic, flexible and robust grasping system that enables rich and real-time interactions in virtual environments. It is visually realistic because it is completely user-controlled, flexible because it can be used for different hand configurations, and robust because it allows the manipulation of objects regardless their geometry, i.e. hand is automatically fitted to the object shape. In order to validate our proposal, an exhaustive qualitative and quantitative performance analysis has been carried out. On the one hand, qualitative evaluation was used in the assessment of the abstract aspects such as: hand movement realism, interaction realism and motor control. On the other hand, for the quantitative evaluation a novel error metric has been proposed to visually analyze the performed grips. This metric is based on the computation of the distance from the finger phalanges to the nearest contact point on the object surface. These contact points can be used with different application purposes, mainly in the field of robotics. As a conclusion, system evaluation reports a similar performance between users with previous experience in virtual reality applications and inexperienced users, referring to a steep learning curve.

description: We propose tensor-network compressed sensing (TNCS) by combining the ideas of compressed sensing, tensor network (TN), and machine learning, which permits novel and efficient quantum communications of realistic data. The strategy is to use the unsupervised TN machine learning algorithm to obtain the entangled state $|Ψ\rangle$ that describes the probability distribution of a huge amount of classical information considered to be communicated. To transfer a specific piece of information with $|Ψ\rangle$, our proposal is to encode such information in the separable state with the minimal distance to the measured state $|Φ\rangle$ that is obtained by partially measuring on $|Ψ\rangle$ in a designed way. To this end, a measuring protocol analogous to the compressed sensing with neural-network machine learning is suggested, where the measurements are designed to minimize uncertainty of information from the probability distribution given by $|Φ\rangle$. In this way, those who have $|Φ\rangle$ can reliably access the information by simply measuring on $|Φ\rangle$. We propose q-sparsity to characterize the sparsity of quantum states and the efficiency of the quantum communications by TNCS. The high q-sparsity is essentially due to the fact that the TN states describing nicely the probability distribution obey the area law of entanglement entropy. Testing on realistic datasets (hand-written digits and fashion images), TNCS is shown to possess high efficiency and accuracy, where the security of communications is guaranteed by the fundamental quantum principles.

description: Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is an effective curative therapy for the majority of haematological malignancies and severe immunodeficiencies. The therapeutic potential of this procedure arises from the graft-versus- leukaemia (GVL) effect, which eradicates recipient malignancy after BMT and is mediated by donor T and natural killer (NK) cells. Unfortunately, GVL effects are inextricably linked to graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), the major cause of transplant-related mortality. GVHD manifests in two forms; acute and chronic GVHD. During acute GVHD, the skin, gastrointestinal tract, and liver are preferentially damaged by the transplanted donor immune system. Chronic GVHD generally develops in the later phase after transplant characterised by end-organ fibrosis. In the early stages of GVHD, donor T cells react to recipient- derived alloantigens presented predominantly by recipient antigen-presenting cells (APCs). Additionally, the success of transplant outcome is also determined by the potential for graft failure due to responses against donor immunohaematopoietic cells by recipient T or NK cells. Thus, there remains a clear need for greater understanding of the factors which lead to GVHD, associated opportunistic infection and disease relapse. Ultimately the aim is to reduce GVHD and associated immune deficiency whilst promoting the immunological clearance of leukaemia.

description: Cardiovascular disease and congenital heart disease impose a massive burden on society around the world. From the cost in terms of lost human lives and diminished quality of life, to the financial expense of ongoing medical treatment, the heart’s inability to effectively repair and regenerate itself presents a major challenge for medical research. The research conducted within this thesis hoped to contribute to our knowledge of the molecular pathways of myocardial development, and to explore the potential of olfactory derived stem cells to repopulate insulted myocardium. A combination of molecular biology and classical embryology techniques were first used to characterise two novel cDNAs identified in an earlier study as being upregulated in the regions of cardiac development within the chick embryo. cDNA and genomic library screening along with RACE (rapid amplification of cDNA ends) produced products which were sequenced to identify both the transcript and genomic sequence for both of the genes. Protein expression constructs were then used to identify the localisation of the encoded proteins, and whole mount in situ hybridisation utilised to identify the temporal and spatial expression patterns of the genes. The first cDNA was identified as the vertebrate homologue of the Drosophila e(y)2 gene, and produces a transcript of approximately 600 bp in the chick with a genomic structure consisting of 5 exons covering approximately 6 Kb. The encoded protein localises to the nucleus. Its expression is ubiquitous both temporally and spatially, which is at odds with its initial method of identification. The second cDNA remains novel at the time of submission, and shows no homology to any characterised genes. This cDNA, named C1-3C, produces two alternative transcripts, one of approximately 700 bp, and a second of 9.9 Kb, with a genomic structure showing no introns within the 2 Kb of analysed sequence. The encoded protein again localises to the nucleus. Expression of the C1-3C gene demonstrated a discrete pattern, though this pattern is again contrary to an up-regulation within the cardiogenic regions. Whilst unfortunately neither of the investigated genes appear to play a direct role in cardiac development, the aim of characterisation of these novel cDNAs was achieved.

description: The coating design for mirrors used in interferometric detectors of gravitational waves currently consists of stacks of two alternating dielectric materials with different refractive indexes. In order to explore the performance limits of such coatings, we have formulated and solved the design problem as a multiobjective optimization problem consisting of the minimization of both coating transmittance and thermal noise. An algorithm of global optimization (Borg MOEA) has been used without any a priori assumption on the number and thicknesses of the layers in the coating. The algorithm yields to a Pareto tradeoff boundary exhibiting a continuous, decreasing and non convex (bump-like) profile, bounded from below by an exponential curve which can be written in explicit closed form in the transmittance-noise plane. The lower bound curve has the same expression of the relation between transmittance and noise for the quarter wavelength design where the noise coefficient of the high refractive index material assumes a smaller equivalent value. An application of this result allowing to reduce the computational burden of the search procedure is reported and discussed.

A three-dimensional analysis was applied to the lower $p_T$ data, while a two-dimensional analysis was used for the higher $p_T$ data. We find that the source size parameters are consistent with the $m_T$ scaling curve observed in pion correlation measurements in the same collisions, and that the duration time of kaon emission is consistent with zero within the experimental sensitivity.

description: We develop and analyse finite volume methods for the Poisson problem with boundary conditions involving oblique derivatives. We design a generic framework, for finite volume discretisations of such models, in which internal fluxes are not assumed to have a specific form, but only to satisfy some (usual) coercivity and consistency properties. The oblique boundary conditions are split into a normal component, which directly appears in the flux balance on control volumes touching the domain boundary, and a tangential component which is managed as an advection term on the boundary. This advection term is discretised using a finite volume method based on a centred discretisation (to ensure optimal rates of convergence) and stabilised using a vanishing boundary viscosity. A convergence analysis, based on the 3rd Strang Lemma \cite{DPD18}, is conducted in this generic finite volume framework, and yields the expected $\mathcal O(h)$ optimal convergence rate in discrete energy norm. We then describe a specific choice of numerical fluxes, based on a generalised hexahedral meshing of the computational domain. These fluxes are a corrected version of fluxes originally introduced in \cite{Medla.et.al2018}. We identify mesh regularity parameters that ensure that these fluxes satisfy the required coercivity and consistency properties. The theoretical rates of convergence are illustrated by an extensive set of 3D numerical tests, including some conducted with two variants of the proposed scheme. A test involving real-world data measuring the disturbing potential in Earth gravity modelling over Slovakia is also presented.

description: With the growing amount of XML and RDF data, keyword search over XML and RDF data has become an important and increasingly researched topic. In this thesis, we investigate several problems related to keyword search over XML and RDF data, and provide solutions to these problems. The research consists largely of three main technical contributions: top-k nearest keyword (NK) search for XML data, query suggestion for XML data and query suggestion for RDF data. We first study the top-k NK search problem for XML data, which provides an approach to exploring XML queries by the distance between keyword matching nodes. A top-k NK query is to find the top-k nearest neighbors of a given node where each neighbor matches a certain keyword, and it can serve as the building block to deal with many problems in XML data, such as keyword search. In our research, we design a method to construct an extended compact TVP (ecTVP) index to efficiently find the top-k nearest neighbors in XML data. We build the index by constructing a variant of Extended Compact Tree, which finds the top-k nearest neighbors during a bottom-up and a top-down process. Theoretical analysis and experiments indicate that our proposed method is efficient to build the ecTVP index. Moreover, we reduce the redundancy in the ecTVP index. In this way, the index costs less space and query time.

description: The connection of synthesis of long-lived superheavy nuclei and existence of the island of stability with the choice of realistic nuclear potential is discussed: the behaviour of the average field of nuclei is an important element of nuclear models. It is also shown that it is just Dubna that possesses the priority both in the recent synthesis of a superheavy nucleus with charge Z=114 and in its theoretical prediction made 35 years ago. Possible sizes of the island of stability of superheavy nuclei are considered.

Operator-Schmidt decomposition of the quantum Fourier transform on C^N1 tensor C^N2

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Operator-Schmidt decompositions of the quantum Fourier transform on C^N1 tensor C^N2 are computed for all N1, N2 > 1. The decomposition is shown to be completely degenerate when N1 is a factor of N2 and when N1>N2. The first known special case, N1=N2=2^n, was computed by Nielsen in his study of the communication cost of computing the quantum Fourier transform of a collection of qubits equally distributed between two parties. [M. A. Nielsen, PhD Thesis, University of New Mexico (1998), Chapter 6, arXiv:quant-ph/0011036.] More generally, the special case N1=2^n1<2^n2=N2 was computed by Nielsen et. al. in their study of strength measures of quantum operations. [M.A. Nielsen et. al, (accepted for publication in Phys Rev A); arXiv:quant-ph/0208077.] Given the Schmidt decompositions presented here, it follows that in all cases the communication cost of exact computation of the quantum Fourier transform is maximal.

Applying the tempered Lefschetz thimble method to the Hubbard model away from half-filling

description: The tempered Lefschetz thimble method is a parallel-tempering algorithm towards solving the numerical sign problem. It uses the flow time of the gradient flow as a tempering parameter and is expected to tame both the sign and multimodal problems simultaneously. In this paper, we further develop the algorithm so that the expectation values can be estimated precisely with a criterion ensuring global equilibrium and the sufficiency of the sample size. To demonstrate that this algorithm works well, we apply it to the quantum Monte Carlo simulation of the Hubbard model away from half-filling on a two-dimensional lattice of small size, and show that the numerical results agree nicely with exact values.

description: This paper presents the results for the charged-particle multiplicity and transverse energy distributions at mid-rapidity in Au - Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=130$ GeV measured with the PHENIX detector at RHIC. The values of $dN_{ch}/dη_{|η=0}$ and $dE_{T}/dη_{|η=0}$, analyzed as a function of centrality, show a consistent steady rise. For the 5% most central collisions they are $\sim70$% larger compared to the SPS results for Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=17.2$ GeV. The ratio of $/$ remains constant as a function of centrality at 0.8 GeV, as also observed at the SPS at CERN and at the AGS at BNL.

title: An Analysis of the Performance of Low Capacity Diversion Routes during Motorway Incidents
Creators: name: Brennan, Wayne
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Transport infrastructure
subject: Traffic incident management plan
subject: Traffic diversion routes
subject: Motorways

description: The effective operation of any transport infrastructure component is essential in maintaining and developing the growth of communities, towns and cities. In particular peak traffic times it may be hard for the transport agency to keep the network operating in an optimal state, as there may be many conflicting priorities. When an incident happens on the road network, Incident Management procedures and plans play a major role in helping the network work through the impacts of the incident to achieve pre-incident traffic conditions. There are many objectives with these incident management programs including reducing costs, delays and emissions while trying to provide benefits to the wider community. Part of the incident management plan may include the use of a diversion route where incident-induced traffic queues are directed from the incident bound motorway, around the incident site, to later re-join the motorway. The ability of this diversion route to cope with this extra traffic can be measured qualitatively and quantitatively by examining level of service and capacity criterion respectively. The rate of diversion from the motorway plays a major part in determining the optimal operating conditions for a diversion route, particularly if the diversion route has a small capacity. Unfortunately, low capacity usually plays hand in hand with low level of service and as such, the achievement of a fine working diversion route during motorway incidents is paramount. With the addition of another diversion route, the management of incident-induced traffic queues could be seen as a little easier, but this may not be totally true. The present research aims to address these difficulties which are faced by road and transport operating authorities. This is achieved primarily by the use of a traffic microsimulator (AIMSUN) which can be used to model different incident scenarios to give an indication of how to effectively use a diversion route network with the aim to restore pre-incident traffic conditions. These outcomes can then be utilised by Traffic Management Centres in their incident management procedures and be further used (with some modifications if necessary) to other areas of motorways in this local area and other parts of the state.

Subliminal mortality salience does not increase physical strength output in double-blind randomized controlled trial
Creators: name: Bartenschlager, Christopher T. J.
name: Jansen, Petra
Publisher: name: Universität Regensburg
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: terror management theory, subliminal mortality salience, mindfulness, self-esteem instability, physical strength
subject: 796 Sport

description: Introduction: Using the morality salience paradigm, this research tested
whether subliminal death stimuli lead to increased physical strength. Moreover,
it was investigated if mindfulness and self-esteem instability influence terror
management.
Methods: In total, data from 160 undergraduate sports students were analyzed.
Participants completed a word decision task in which they were presented with
either the word death or pain for 28.5 ms. Before and after the task, their grip
strength was measured using a hand dynamometer.
Results: Linear mixed models could neither confirm the effect of the mortality
salience hypothesis on strength nor an influence of mindfulness and self-esteem.
Discussion: The results raise the question of a potential influence of subliminal
mortality salience on athletic performance and how mindfulness and self-esteem
instability affect terror management.
