title: Considering Monitoring Data Variability In Sensitivity-Based Finite Element Model Updating Of Cable-Stayed Bridges Using Structural Health Monitoring Data

description: As important links in the transport infrastructure system, cable-supported bridges are among the most popular candidates for implementing structural health monitoring (SHM) technology. The primary aim of SHM for these bridges is to ensure their structural integrity and satisfactory performance by monitoring their behaviour over time. Finite element (FE) model updating is a well-recognised approach for SHM purposes, as an accurate model serves as a baseline reference for damage detection and long-term monitoring efforts. Given the sheer size, slenderness, use of long cables, and high levels of structural redundancy, precise initial models of long-span cable-supported bridges are desirable to better facilitate the model updating process and to improve the accuracy of the final updated model. The primary challenge of model-based SHM of long-span cable-supported bridges is the development of efficient numerical models that can accurately predict vibration characteristics which are sensitive to uncertain model parameters and structural modelling assumptions. Various model updating techniques with different computational demands and complexities are available in the literature. However, using ambient vibration data, which are often recorded over long periods and characterised by levels of noise and randomness, presents unique challenges to the updating process. To address these challenges, this thesis develops an FE modelling and model updating framework, for a 380m-main span cable-stayed bridge in Vietnam as a case study bridge, using the real-time SHM data from the structure.

description: We present a detailed analysis of time-resolved optical spectra of the ZZ Ceti white dwarf, HS 0507+0434B. Using the wavelength dependence of observed mode amplitudes, we deduce the spherical degree, l, of the modes, most of which have l=1. The presence of a large number of combination frequencies (linear sums or differences of the real modes) enabled us not only to test theoretical predictions but also to indirectly infer spherical and azimuthal degrees of real modes that had no observed splittings. In addition to the above, we measure line-of-sight velocities from our spectra. We find only marginal evidence for periodic modulation associated with the pulsation modes: at the frequency of the strongest mode in the lightcurve, we measure an amplitude of 2.6+/-1.0 km/s, which has a probability of 2% of being due to chance; for the other modes, we find lower values. Our velocity amplitudes and upper limits are smaller by a factor of two compared to the amplitudes found in ZZ Psc. We find that this is consistent with expectations based on the position of HS 0507+0434B in the instability strip. Combining all the available information from data such as ours is a first step towards constraining atmospheric properties in a convectionally unstable environment from an observational perspective.

title: Modelling Multiscale Relationships in Riverine Landscapes: Putting the "Riverscape" into Statistical Models for River Ecology and Management
Creators: name: Stewart-Koster, Ben Donald

Subjects: subject: Riverine systems

subject: Freshwater fishes

description: Many questions in ecology involve exploring the environmental processes that influence species’ distributions and abundances in both space and time. Such environmental processes are rarely independent, and generally operate across many scales. This is particularly relevant to riverine systems, where the nested hierarchical structure of the riverscape means fine-scale processes are strongly influenced by processes operating across larger scales. Recent research has identified some key advantages in applying Bayesian hierarchical models to hierarchical ecological problems such as identifying relationships between species’ abundances and environmental predictor variables across multiple scales. This thesis focuses on applying Bayesian hierarchical models to multiscale datasets for freshwater fishes and aquatic macrophyte cover in South-East Queensland, Australia, to address two key aspects of applied river ecology and management. Firstly, it examines multiscale species-environment relationships for freshwater fishes. This involves developing Bayesian hierarchical models that reflect the structure of a conceptual model of fish species’ distribution and abundance. Secondly, this thesis examines methods to integrate such multiscale relationships into models for river management and restoration using Bayesian networks with an emphasis on the management of aquatic macrophytes (BNs). Novel statistical methods such as Bayesian hierarchical models and BNs have the potential to advance our understanding of multiscale abiotic drivers of ecosystem structure and function across the riverscape.
title: The Construction of Hegemony: a World-Historical Study of Australian Politics and External Relations 1932-1988

subject: Asia-Pacific Region

description: Despite a wide recognition that external relationships are a significant force in shaping the pattern of Australian economic and political history, available theories for analysing the interplay of external and internal processes -- political sociology, dependency and world systems theory -- do not provide a reliable basis for coming to tenns with this aspect of Australia's historical experience in a contemporary setting. The world-historical perspective, as developed in an Australian context by McMichael, does addresses this problem usefully, but it is of limited contemporary utility since it largely focuses on the colonial period of the first half of the nineteenth century when Australia's economic structure and political institutions were relatively undeveloped. Two major areas of theoretical debate are addresed in chapters two and three. Chapter Two critically re-evaluates the utility of political sociology for a world-historical approach by analysing debates about nation-state territoriality. In Chapter Three the discussion considers dependency and world system perspectives, as well as couurent debates within international relations through a critical a~sessment of their approach to the historical development of the nation-state system. The thesis then proposes a re-evaluation of the applicability of the notion of hegemony to the study of relationships between nation-states, and a conception of a regime-governed international order as an alternative to the current approaches. Within this conceptual framework, the thesis focuses on a case study of the establishment, consolidation and decline of United States hegemony, and the concomitant decline of British power, in the Asia-Pacific region, and Australia's active engagement with this historical process. The ways in which this external program of United States regime-building impinged upon Australian domestic politics and established an external source of state legitimacy for both Labor and conservative governments is analysed in chapters Five and Six. These chapters also discuss the effects on the economic and political transformation of Australia from the l930s to the 1950s and continuing problems which follow the aftermath of the defeat of the 'Western alliance' in Vietnam and the onset of the global recession. The concluding chapter consolidates the linkage between the empirical and theoretical content of the thesis in order to propose a conceptual approach to the study the relationships between nation-states and the international order and to apply this approach to a consideration of the future prospects for Australia.

description: In 2000 September we observed a bright X-ray burst from X2127+119 with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. This burst has a multi-peaked profile, a peak luminosity of ~6.5x10^{38} erg s^{-1}, a total integrated energy of ~2x10^{40} ergs, and significant photospheric radius expansion to a maximum extent of R=118+-5 km. From the luminosity-temperature relation during the expansion phase we derive estimates for the gravitational redshift at the neutron star surface, the corrected Eddington luminosity, and the neutron star mass. We detect no slow (~30s) radial oscillations or fast (100-1200 Hz) coherent oscillations or QPO during the burst. The 2000 September event is only the second burst ever observed from this globular cluster binary (in M15 = NGC 7078), and it shares many characteristics with the event detected by Ginga in 1988 October (Dotani et al. 1990; van Paradijs et al. 1990), the key difference probably being the total amount of material consumed in the thermonuclear flash.

description: Learner support systems that provide academic and non-academic supports, which are planned and strategically integrated into the online learning experience have been shown to have a positive impact on student’s persistence and satisfaction in online environments. Insufficient research exists on how these systems are implemented, how support is provided, and how students perceive the support they receive, especially for adult learners. To address this gap in research, this descriptive case study analyzed the implementation of a learner support system in an online program in which three-quarters of the students are nontraditional. Through the use of qualitative methods, the study describes the experiences and perceptions of faculty, the academic advisor, and students who administered or received support through the system. This study contributes needed research to the field of education by exploring student support as a method of improving student persistence in online education. This study found that learner support systems require oversight and management to ensure that they remain a working system. It was uncovered that the originally envisioned support system ultimately broke down as support became compartmentalized to those providing support resulting in gaps in a learner support system that was envisioned to encircle students with assistance when needed. However, despite this breakdown, the results showed that learner support can help students feel encouraged and satisfied with their online experience. The majority of students found the support they received was helpful and that alerts about their academic standing motivated to continue in their course. This research study also illuminated support strategies the faculty and the academic advisor used to optimize student interaction and persistence. The academic advisor, as a one-stop resource for providing nonacademic support, increased students’ feelings of connectedness. This study also found that regular support interactions and timely responses from course faculty helped students’ feel supported and reduced their perception of being isolated. This study also uncovered the faculty and advisors’ perceptions and challenges in providing support to students. Lastly, the study identified the types of support that students found most helpful to their learning in an online environment. The students found timely responses to their requests for assistance as most important to their learning and preferred easy methods to communicate with their professors. The support preferences between traditional and nontraditional students were also investigated

description: Frequency combs are powerful tools for many applications and high performances are achieved by stabilizing these lasers. For operation in the mid-infrared, quantum cascade lasers (QCL) are ideal candidates as they present numerous advantages. However, stabilized QCL-combs lack of a detailed characterization of their noise properties due to the sensitivity limits of current analyzing techniques. To overcome these challenges, we developed what we believe to be the first tightly locked dual QCL-comb system. Its use is twofold. First, phase noise analysis of the dual-comb signal shows residual phase noise below 600 mrad for all comb lines, and we characterize the comb coherence as well as the performances of the repetition frequency locking mechanism. Second, we demonstrate coherent averaging with a $7 \times 10^5$ Hz$^{1/2}$ figure-of-merit system, which is compatible with high precision spectroscopy.

description: In this paper, we are concerned with equations \eqref{PDE} involving higher-order fractional Laplacians. By introducing a new approach, we prove the super poly-harmonic properties for nonnegative solutions to \eqref{PDE} (Theorem \ref{Thm0}). Our theorem seems to be the first result on this problem. As a consequence, we derive many important applications of the super poly-harmonic properties. For instance, we establish Liouville theorems, integral representation formula and classification results for nonnegative solutions to fractional higher-order equations \eqref{PDE} with general nonlinearities $f(x,u,Du,\cdots)$ including conformally invariant and odd order cases. In particular, our results completely improve the classification results for third order equations in Dai and Qin \cite{DQ1} by removing the assumptions on integrability. We also derive a characterization for $α$-harmonic functions via averages in the appendix.

description: The incidence of obesity and its related metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and hypertension, has escalated dramatically over the past decades worldwide, so much so that it has reached epidemic proportions. It has become a significant public health issue and a massive burden to the health-care system in developed and developing countries. Obesity is the fifth leading risk for human mortality around the globe, resulting in 2.8 million adult deaths each year. Another alarming fact is that childhood obesity has increased dramatically since 1990. Childhood obesity is one of the serious public health challenges of the 21st century, with there expected to be about 60 million obese children by 2020 globally. Obesity is connected with chronic low-grade inflammation manifested by increased circulatory levels of several cytokines and acute phase proteins associated with inflammation. While many are secreted by adipocytes, it is believed that increased adipose tissue mass is either directly or indirectly associated with the increased production of inflammation-related factors. Several therapeutic options have been used for short-term treatment of obesity, however many of these cause unpleasant side-effects, including dizziness, headache, anxiety, elevated heart rate and gastro-intestinal issues. There is strong evidence supporting the therapeutic use of polyphenols such as stilbenes, flavonoids and curcuminoids, given that they show potential in the prevention and/or treatment of obesity and its metabolic complications.

description: In this work, we consider a general form of the dynamics of open quantum systems determined by the Gorini-Kossakowsky-Sudarchhan-Lindblad type master equation with simultaneous coherent and incoherent controls with three particular forms of the two-qubit Hamiltonians. Coherent control enters in the Hamiltonian and incoherent control enters in both the Hamiltonian and the superoperator of dissipation. For these systems, we analyze the control problems of generating two-qubit C-NOT, SWAP, and C-Z gates using with piecewise constant controls and stochastic optimization in the form of an adapted version of the dual annealing algorithm. In the numerical experiment, we analyze the minimal infidelity obtained by the dual annealing for various values of strength of the interaction between the system and the environment.

description: Up to 70% of people develop disabling hemiparetic shoulder pain (HSP) post-stroke, leading to the evasion of functional use of the hemiparetic arm, poor rehabilitation outcomes and reduced quality of life. Despite HSP being a significant issue for people with stroke, there has been limited success in preventing or managing this condition, perhaps because the aetiology of this common condition is unclear. Although the causes of HSP remain inconclusive, positional change of the humeral head relative to the glenoid fossa (glenohumeral joint centre), particularly in the acute stage, may be a factor. Alterations in the location of the glenohumeral joint centre (GHJC) have not previously been investigated in people during the acute post-stroke phase. The primary focus of this research was to longitudinally investigate GHJC during the post-stroke phase in people who had experienced a hemiparetic stroke. The reliability of an electromagnetic tracking device to measure GHJC position in people following stroke and in a healthy population was determined. GHJC position was examined in people within two weeks of stroke onset and in a group of age, gender and body mass index matched healthy controls. Changes in the GHJC position over time (i.e. baseline to six weeks post-stroke) and the impact of demographic and clinical characteristics such as shoulder pain, hemiparetic side, and muscle tone, on GHJC position were also determined.

description: Little is known regarding the detailed mechanism of CuO NPs’ toxicity to microalgal primary metabolism pathway. Photosynthesis and respiration are the most important primary metabolism and the main sources of production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), but the effect of CuO NPs on both of them has not been systematically studied to date. Our research demonstrated that long-term treatment with CuO NPs significantly inhibited activities of photosynthesis and respiration in microalgae, and the photosynthesis was more sensitive to the toxicity of CuO NPs than respiration. CuO NPs could be absorbed by microalgae and be converted into Cu2O NPs concentrated in chloroplast. The internalized Cu, regardless of whether the exposure was Cu2+ or CuO NPs had the same capacity to damage chloroplast structure. The result also shows that the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) in the photosynthetic electron transport chain was the most sensitive site to CuO NPs and Cu2+-treated microalgae had the same damage site as that of CuO NPs, which may be related to the Mn cluster that is dissociated by Cu ions released from CuO NPs. The damage of OEC inhibited photosynthetic electron transport to increase excess excited energy, which caused the accumulation of ROS in chloroplast. The accumulation of ROS damaged the structure of cell membrane and aggravated the PSII photoinhibition, further decreasing the efficiency of light energy utilization. In conclusion, the Cu ionic toxicity of photosynthetic apparatus by CuO NPs resulted in the carbon starvation and the accumulation of ROS to inhibit the growth of microalgae.

description: Gamma Ray Burst has been widely believed in last decade to be super-explosions: the Fireball. We are argue on the contrary that GRBs (as well as Soft Gamma Repeaters SGR) are precessing Gamma Jets. We remind the list of contradiction that Fireball and its smaller galactic version, the Magnetar, have to face. In particular the existence of weak isolated X-ray precursor signal before the main Gamma Ray Burst and (rare SGR) events disagree with any explosive, one shoot, scenarios either isotropic or wide-beamed. We interpret them as earlier marginal blazing of outlying X conical Jet tails of precessing, spinning gamma Jet.

description: Complex dynamical systems driven by the unravelling of information can be modelled effectively by treating the underlying flow of information as the model input. Complicated dynamical behaviour of the system is then derived as an output. Such an information-based approach is in sharp contrast to the conventional mathematical modelling of information-driven systems whereby one attempts to come up with essentially {\it ad hoc} models for the outputs. Here, dynamics of electoral competition is modelled by the specification of the flow of information relevant to election. The seemingly random evolution of the election poll statistics are then derived as model outputs, which in turn are used to study election prediction, impact of disinformation, and the optimal strategy for information management in an election campaign.

description: Two recent preprints in the physics archive (arXiv) have called attention as they claim experimental evidence that a Cu-substituted apatite material (dubbed LK-99) exhibits superconductivity at room temperature and pressure. If this proves to be true, LK-99 will be a ``holy grail" of superconductors. In this work, we used Density Functional Theory (DFT+U) calculations to elucidate some key features of the electronic structure of LK-99. We find two different phases of this material: (i) a hexagonal lattice featuring metallic half-filled and spin-split bands, a nesting of the Fermi surface, a remarkably large electron-phonon coupling, but this lattice is vibrationally unstable. (ii) a triclinic lattice, with the Cu and surrounding O distorted. This lattice is vibrationally stable and its bands correspond to an insulator. In a crystal, the Cu atoms should oscillate between equivalent triclinic positions, with an average close to the hexagonal positions. We discuss the electronic structure expected from these fluctuations and if it is compatible with superconductivity.
Topological Flat Band Models and Fractional Chern Insulators

Subjects: subject: 500 Naturwissenschaften und Mathematik::530 Physik

description: Topological insulators and their intriguing edge states can be understood in a single-particle picture and can as such be exhaustively classified. Interactions significantly complicate this picture and can lead to entirely new insulating phases, with an altogether much richer and less explored phenomenology. Most saliently, lattice generalizations of fractional quantum Hall states, dubbed fractional Chern insulators, have recently been predicted to be stabilized by interactions within nearly dispersionless bands with non- zero Chern number, C. Contrary to their continuum analogues, these states do not require an external magnetic field and may potentially persist even at room temperature, which make these systems very attractive for possible applications such as topological quantum computation. This review recapitulates the basics of tight-binding models hosting nearly flat bands with non-trivial topology, C≠0, and summarizes the present understanding of interactions and strongly correlated phases within these bands. Emphasis is made on microscopic models, highlighting the analogy with continuum Landau level physics, as well as qualitatively new, lattice specific, aspects including Berry curvature fluctuations, competing instabilities as well as novel collective states of matter emerging in bands with |C|>1. Possible experimental realizations, including oxide interfaces and cold atom implementations as well as generalizations to flat bands characterized by other topological invariants are also discussed.

Density gradients and internal dust in the Orion nebula
Creators: name: Binette, L.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The ionization structure of the Orion nebula can be described as a skin-like ionization structure on the surface of a dense cloud. We propose that a steep density stratification, increasing as a powerlaw ($n \propto x^{-2}$) function of distance x from the ionization front, exhibits properties which agree with our long-slit spectrum of the Orion nebula. For instance, there exist a unicity relation between both the Hbeta surface brightness or the ionization front [SII] density, and the scale L of the powerlaw, where L is the distance between the ionization front and the onset of the density near the exciting star. Internal dust is required to obtain a simultaneous acceptable fit of both the [SII] density and then Hbeta suface brightness observations. Nebular models containing small dust grains provide a better fit than large grains. The line ratio gradients observed along the slit are qualitatively reproduced by our density stratified models assuming a stellar temperature of 38000 K. Collisional deexcitation appears to be responsible for half of the gradient observed in the [NII] 5755/6583 temperature sensitive ratio. We propose that the empirical relationship found by Wen & O'dell between density and stellar distance may possibly be caused by a power-law density stratification.

Searching the Landscape of Flux Vacua with Genetic Algorithms

description: In this paper, we employ genetic algorithms to explore the landscape of type IIB flux vacua. We show that genetic algorithms can efficiently scan the landscape for viable solutions satisfying various criteria. More specifically, we consider a symmetric $T^{6}$ as well as the conifold region of a Calabi-Yau hypersurface. We argue that in both cases genetic algorithms are powerful tools for finding flux vacua with interesting phenomenological properties. We also compare genetic algorithms to algorithms based on different breeding mechanisms as well as random walk approaches.

title: Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics Following Prescribed Burning in a Suburban Native Forest of South-east Queensland

description: Prescribed burning can play an important role in forest maintenance and management worldwide. Australia is one of the few countries around the world with knowledge and experience in the use of controlled fire for fuel management and ecological purposes. In Australia, prescribed burning, has been used to meet several objectives including protection of forests against wildfires through managing fuel loads, ecosystem maintenance by increasing vegetation, and elimination of pests and diseases. Climate change and the increases in the incidence and severity of wildfire push forest managers to establish prescribed fire regimes with low severity prescribed burning to protect housing and infrastructure from wildfire damage. Prescribed burning has become a more frequent management tool in suburban forests, leading to alteration in the physical, chemical, and biological properties of forest soils. Fire influences ecosystem patterns and processes by affecting vegetation diversity and structure, carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and other nutrients cycles, but these effects are dependent on fire regimes (e.g. frequency and severity). The interval between fires is critical in forest management because the long interval period burns may allow a potentially severe fire hazard to exist, while burning frequently with short interval period may result in loss of soil fertility leading to ecosystem vulnerability.
title: Value of Information Analysis Applications in Healthcare Interventions

Subjects: subject: Healthcare interventions
subject: Value of information (VOI) analysis
subject: Queensland Health
subject: Monte Carlo simulations

description: Background Decisions on adopting new healthcare interventions should be supported by the best available evidence on their safety, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. Evidence is never certain and so is any decision based on that evidence. This uncertainty may lead to suboptimal decisions with costly consequences. Collecting more information may reduce uncertainty; however, there is a cost for additional research. Value of information (VOI) analysis is a systematic approach to quantify the value of research in reducing decision uncertainty. It compares the marginal research benefits and marginal costs to inform whether additional research is worthwhile. Furthermore, research studies can be designed and prioritised to optimise the net benefits from additional research. Despite its value, the use of VOI analysis in practice is limited. Objectives To apply VOI analysis in a group of real-world healthcare interventions to guide implementation decisions, and optimise research design and research priorities. Methods All analyses were conducted from the perspective of Queensland Health, the public provider of healthcare in Queensland, Australia. Four interventions were evaluated: clinically-indicated peripheral intravenous catheter replacement, tissue adhesive for securing arterial catheters, negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) in caesarean sections, and nutritional support in preventing pressure ulcers in high-risk patients. For each intervention, an economic evaluation was performed, decision uncertainty characterised, and VOI measures calculated using Monte Carlo simulations.
