description: The habitat ecology of the euryhaline bull shark (Carcharhinus leucas) is poorly understood, yet vital for their conservation and management on our rapidly urbanising coastlines. This study investigated the habitat ecology of the bull shark in relation to ontogeny using a variety of approaches, including long-term catch data, acoustic telemetry, chemical indicators for trophic and habitat preferences and conventional methods for dietary analysis. Fishery-independent data from 1,060 C. leucas caught at ten locations along the east coast of Queensland (17 to 28°S) by the Queensland Shark Control Program (QSCP) from 1996 to 2006 indicated size of sharks captured ranged from 0.6 to 4 m total length (TL). Onset of female maturity was determined at 1.8 to 2 m TL. Catch per unit effort (CPUE) was higher during summer for drumlines and gill nets in tropical north QLD. Significantly larger individuals were caught on both gears in the sub-tropical southeast of Queensland compared to the tropical north. Principal components-regression analysis indicated this difference could be attributed to coastal bathymetry, i.e. distance to the 100 m contour. The number of estuaries in a region also directly influenced the C. leucas catch. General linear models (GLMs) indicated latitudinal differences in CPUE along the eastern Queensland coast with a significant decline in sub-tropical areas. QSCP data from 1996 to 2007 were analysed to investigate the effects of climate parameters on catch of this species in the nearshore habitat. Conditional generalised linear modelling (CGLM) showed that the numbers of C. leucas caught by both techniques were significantly correlated with total rainfall within eight days prior to capture. C. leucas catch on drumlines increased with prior rainfall > 300 mm and sea surface temperature, as these conditions may encourage feeding in nearshore areas. Pregnant C. leucas caught in gill nets increased with a positive Southern Oscillation Index, suggesting higher pupping during wet periods. Catch of sharks < 2 m in TL in nets increased with prior rainfall and were negatively correlated with lunar phase (i.e. lowest catches during full moon).

description: We present simulations of particle beam channeling in carbon nanotubes and evaluate the possibilities for experimental observation of channeling effect in straight and bent nanotubes at IHEP and LNF. Different particle species are considered: protons of 1.3 and 70 GeV, and positrons of 0.5 GeV. Predictions are made for the experiments, with analysis of requirements on the quality of nanosamples and resolution of the experimental set-up. Based on Monte Carlo simulations, the capabilities of nanotube channeling technique for particle beam steering are discussed.

description: Soft robotic systems offer benefits over traditional rigid systems through reduced contact trauma with soft tissues and by enabling access through tortuous paths in minimally invasive surgery. However, the inherent deformability of soft robots places both a greater onus on accurate modelling of their shape, and greater challenges in realising intraoperative shape sensing. Herein we present a proprioceptive (self-sensing) soft actuator, with an electrically conductive working fluid. Electrical impedance measurements from up to six electrodes enabled tomographic reconstructions using Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT). A new Frequency Division Multiplexed (FDM) EIT system was developed capable of measurements of 66 dB SNR with 20 ms temporal resolution. The concept was examined in two two-degree-of-freedom designs: a hydraulic hinged actuator and a pneumatic finger actuator with hydraulic beams. Both cases demonstrated that impedance measurements could be used to infer shape changes, and EIT images reconstructed during actuation showed distinct patterns with respect to each degree of freedom (DOF). Whilst there was some mechanical hysteresis observed, the repeatability of the measurements and resultant images was high. The results show the potential of FDM-EIT as a low-cost, low profile shape sensor in soft robots.

description: In 2016, the first strongly lensed Type Ia supernova, iPTF16geu at redshift $z=0.409$ with four resolved images arranged symmetrically around the lens galaxy at $z=0.2163$, was discovered. Here, refined observations of iPTF16geu, including the time delay between images, are used to decrease uncertainties in the lens model, including the the slope of the projected surface density of the lens galaxy, $Σ\propto r^{1-η}$, and to constrain the universal expansion rate $H_0$. Imaging with HST provides an upper limit on the slope $η$, in slight tension with the steeper density profiles indicated by imaging with Keck after iPTF16geu had faded, potentially due to dust extinction not corrected for in host galaxy imaging. Since smaller $η$ implies larger magnifications, we take advantage of the standard candle nature of Type Ia supernovae constraining the image magnifications, to obtain an independent constraint of the slope. We find that a smooth lens density fails to explain the iPTF16geu fluxes, regardless of the slope, and additional sub-structure lensing is needed. The total probability for the smooth halo model combined with star microlensing to explain the iPTF16geu image fluxes is maximized at $12\,\%$ for $η\sim 1.8$, in excellent agreement with Keck high spatial resolution data, and flatter than an isothermal halo. It also agrees perfectly with independent constraints on the slope from lens velocity dispersion measurements. Combining with the observed time delays between the images, we infer a lower bound on the Hubble constant, $H_0 \gtrsim 40\,{\rm km \ s^{-1} Mpc^{-1}}$ at $68.3\,\%$ confidence level.

Dissecting genetic determinants of transcription factor activity

description: Understanding how phenotype relates to genotype, in terms of the myriad molecular processes that govern the behavior of cells and organisms, has been one of the central goals of biology for a long time. Transcription factors (TFs) play a mediating role connecting genotype with gene expression, which provides high-dimensional information about end phenotype. In particular, gene expression levels depend on their cis-regulatory sequence bound by TFs and condition-specific regulatory activity of TFs determined by its modulators through interaction with cofactors or signaling molecules. This thesis consists of two parts that related to the overall goal of dissecting upstream modulators of transcription factor activity. The first study is to dissect genetic determinants of transcription factor activity in a segregating population. We exploit prior knowledge about the in vitro DNA-binding specificity of a TF in order to map the loci (`aQTLs') whose inheritance modulates its protein-level regulatory activity. The second study is to identify regulatory mechanisms underlying tumorigenesis in mice by using genotyping and gene expression data across a set of 97 splenic tumors induced by retroviral insertional mutagenesis. We identify several instances of sequence-specific TFs whose activities are specifically affected by insertions mutations. Our results underscore the value of explicitly modeling TF activity and a strategy for finding upstream modulators of TF activity.

description: In an effort to reduce the complexity and associated production costs of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGSe)-based solar cells, the commonly used sputtered undoped ZnO layer has been modified to eliminate the requirement for a dedicated buffer layer. After replacing the ZnO target with a mixed ZnO/ZnS target, efficient solar cells could be prepared by sputtering directly onto the as- grown CIGSe surface. This approach has now been tested with high-quality lab- scale glass/Mo/CIGSe substrates. An efficiency of 18.3% has been independently confirmed without any post-deposition annealing or light soaking.

description: Squamous cell carcinoma is a malignancy of squamous epithelia and affects multiple organs of the body. Investigating the underlying signalling pathways and the molecular mechanisms is essential to gain a profound understanding of the disease pathology, aetiology and to uncover potential drug targets. The deubiquitylating enzyme, USP9X, has been associated with epithelial cancers of breasts, colon, lung, liver, pancreas, mouth and the skin. The current study investigated the functional and molecular role of USP9X in head and neck squamous carcinoma cell lines (HNSCC) and skin keratinocytes. Also, the role of USP9X in DNA damage response of keratinocytes was investigated. USP9X protein expression was altered in four HNSCC cell lines, derived from tongue (SCC15 and CAL27) and pharynx (Fadu and Detroit 562) by treating them with siRNAs (loss of function) or by transfecting them with plasmids (gain of function). CyQuant and Flow cytometry analyses revealed that USP9X promoted proliferation and regulated cell cycle of these cell lines. RT-qPCR analysis of target gene expression revealed that USP9X also regulated Notch activity in these cells. However, at least in one cell line (FaDu), USP9X’s regulation of proliferation did not appear to operate through the Notch pathway but possibly occurs via mTOR pathway. Immunoblot analysis revealed a decrease in downstream targets of mTOR complex 1 namely, total ribosomal protein (S6) and its phosphorylated form (pS6), when USP9X was depleted from FaDu cells. In contrast, in immortalised but non- tumourigenic HaCaT human keratinocytes, USP9X depletion led to an increase in cell proliferation and again, USP9X levels directly correlated with Notch pathway activity.

description: In this work we give a method for constructing a one-parameter family of complete CMC-1 (i.e. constant mean curvature 1) surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space that correspond to a given complete minimal surface with finite total curvature in Euclidean 3-space. We show that this one-parameter family of surfaces with the same symmetry properties exists for all given minimal surfaces satisfying certain conditions. The surfaces we construct in this paper are irreducible, and in the process of showing this, we also prove some results about the reducibility of surfaces. Furthermore, in the case that the surfaces are of genus 0, we are able to make some estimates on the range of the parameter for the one-parameter family.

description: Neutron scattering measurements on the pyrochlore magnet Ce$_2$Zr$_2$O$_7$ reveal an unusual crystal field splitting of its lowest $J$=5/2 multiplet, such that its ground state doublet is composed of m$_J$=$\pm$3/2, giving these doublets a dipole - octupole (DO) character with local Ising anisotropy. Its magnetic susceptibility shows weak antiferromagnetic correlations with $θ_{CW}$=-0.4(2)K, leading to a naive expectation of an All-In, All-Out ordered state at low temperatures. Instead our low energy inelastic neutron scattering measurements show a dynamic quantum spin ice state, with suppressed scattering near |$\textbf{Q}$|=0, and no long range order at low temperatures. This is consistent with recent theory predicting symmetry enriched U(1) quantum spin liquids for such DO doublets decorating the pyrochlore lattice. Finally, we show that disorder, especially oxidation of powder samples, is important in Ce$_2$Zr$_2$O$_7$ and could play an important role in the low temperature behaviour of this material.

description: In recent years’ business has been viewed increasingly as a major cause of social, environmental, and economic problems. Incorporating EMS tools to business can be initiative to solve this problem and raise the environmental awareness in the corporate and manufacturing sector. This management tool established suitably as an administrative tool to address continuous process in total management initiatives in the respective sectors. Even it is well known that EMS renders a robust contribution to the global environmental management, but some studies criticize the ultimate efforts. Their argument is that the EMS can only achieve partial management goals of the organization rather than entire target. So, it’s not yet conceived as a key toolkit to achieve sustainability in industrial scale. This study aims to configure the vision of EMS through some innovative product development tools that could be integrate into the existing EMS platform, more specifically in the ‘planning’ division among all five segments of the EMS. Two approaches through ‘Template for Sustainable Product Development (TSPD) and Strategic Life Cycle Management (SLCM)’ incorporating the backcasting from sustainability principles, have been used to scrutinize the product development system in an EMS user company. By using TSPD the current reality and envisioned future are find out through the three analytical points of view of a product, e.g. market needs, concepts and extended enterprise. On the other hand SLCM has integrated into TSPD all the way from raw materials to the ending of a product based on all sustainability principles. TSPD and SLCM could be used as strategic planning tool in the conventional EMS to guide the product development for achieving sustainability. Finally, this study reveals that the integration process of sustainability could be parallel to existing environmental management systems where some product development tools are supportive catalyst to develop the concept.

description: Changes in trabecular micro-architecture are key to our understanding of osteoporosis. Previous work focusing on structure model index (SMI) measurements have concluded that disease progression entails a shift from plates to rods in trabecular bone, but SMI is heavily biased by bone volume fraction. As an alternative to SMI, we proposed the ellipsoid factor (EF) as a continuous measure of local trabecular shape between plate-like and rod-like extremes. We investigated the relationship between EF distributions, SMI and bone volume fraction of the trabecular geometry in a murine model of disuse osteoporosis as well as from human vertebrae of differing bone volume fraction. We observed a moderate shift in EF median (at later disease stages in mouse tibia) and EF mode (in the vertebral samples with low bone volume fraction) towards a more rod-like geometry, but not in EF maximum and minimum. These results support the notion that the plate to rod transition does not coincide with the onset of bone loss and is considerably more moderate, when it does occur, than SMI suggests. A variety of local shapes not straightforward to categorize as rod or plate exist in all our trabecular bone samples.

description: The ventral hippocampus (vHPC), medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), and basolateral amygdala (BLA) are each required for the expression of anxiety-like behavior. Yet the role of each individual element of the circuit is unclear. The projection from the vHPC to the mPFC has been implicated in anxiety-related neural synchrony and spatial representations of aversion. The role of this projection was examined using multi-site neural recordings combined with optogenetic terminal inhibition.
      Inhibition of vHPC input to the mPFC disrupted anxiety and mPFC representations of aversion, and reduced theta synchrony in a pathway-, frequency- and task-specific manner. Moreover, bilateral, but not unilateral, inhibition altered physiological correlates of anxiety in the BLA, mimicking a safety-like state. These results reveal a specific role for the vHPC-mPFC projection in anxiety-related behavior and the spatial representation of aversive information within the mPFC. Moreover, these data suggested that theta-frequency input from the vHPC plays a causal role in anxiety-like behavior.
      Next, it was investigated whether optogenetic stimulation of the vHPC-mPFC at a theta frequency was sufficient to increase anxiety. Stimulating the vHPC input to the mPFC with a sinusoidal light pattern at 8 Hz significantly increased anxiety behavior. The anxiogenic effect of vHPC terminal stimulation was frequency- (8 Hz but not 20 Hz) and pattern- (sinusoids but not pulses) specific. To understand how pulses and sinusoidal light modulate mPFC neurons differentially, mPFC pyramidal neurons were recorded both in vitro and in vivo while stimulating vHPC terminals with the same sinusoidal or pulsatile patterns. In vitro, sinusoidal stimulation increased the rate of spontaneous EPSCs, while pulses evoked strong, stimulus-locked EPSCs. In vivo, sinusoidal stimulation of vHPC terminals increased the phase-locking of mPFC single unit spiking to the optical stimulation pattern without changing overall firing rates. Together, these results suggest that sinusoidal stimulation at 8 Hz enhances theta-frequency activity in mPFC neurons as well as anxiety-related behavior. Moreover, they suggest that theta-frequency components of neural activity play a privileged role in vHPC-mPFC communication and hippocampal-dependent forms of anxiety.

description: This research project examined the learner ecologies of University of the West Indies (UWI) distance learning program participants in two countries within the regional university's network: Dominica, and Antigua and Barbuda. The descriptive study focused on a period of transition from dual-mode delivery (teleconference and in-person tutorial sessions, alongside print material for independent study) to online course delivery. The purpose of the study was to understand the factors impacting the learner ecologies of a particular distance learning program, and extrapolate from these findings to develop an understanding of distance learner ecologies in the Eastern Caribbean, or economically developing countries in general. Based on factors that the respondents identified as most challenging within their ecologies, the study explored different manifestations of time (in terms of life cycle, the concept of time as a social construct, and in relation to the way time is experienced in the learning environment); space (physical space, social constructs of space, and the concept of social distance); and resources (academic resources, funding, and "human resources" within the learning community).

description: We present a new and asymmetric N=4 superconformal algebra for arbitrary central charge, thus completing our recent work on its classical analogue with vanishing central charge. Besides the Virasoro generator and 4 supercurrents, the algebra consists of an internal SL(2) \otimes U(1) Kac-Moody algebra in addition to two spin 1/2 fermions and a bosonic scalar. The algebra is shown to be invariant under a linear twist of the generators, except for a unique value of the continuous twist parameter. At this value, the invariance is broken and the algebra collapses to the small N=4 superconformal algebra. In the context of string theory, the asymmetric N=4 superconformal algebra is provided with an explicit construction on the boundary of AdS_3, and is induced by an affine SL(2|2) current superalgebra residing on the world sheet. Substituting the world sheet SL(2|2) by the coset SL(2|2)/U(1) results in the small N=4 superconformal algebra on the boundary of AdS_3.

Reinterpreting the embedding data $X\subset Y$ within the mathematical framework of the Batalin-Vilkovisky quantization, we find a natural deformation problem which extends the above moduli space to the full de Rham cohomology group of $X$.

Wide range screening of algorithmic bias in word embedding models using large sentiment lexicons reveals underreported bias types

description: This work describes a large-scale analysis of sentiment associations in popular word embedding models along the lines of gender and ethnicity but also along the less frequently studied dimensions of socioeconomic status, age, sexual orientation, religious sentiment and political leanings. Consistent with previous scholarly literature, this work has found systemic bias against given names popular among African-Americans in most embedding models examined. Gender bias in embedding models however appears to be multifaceted and often reversed in polarity to what has been regularly reported. Interestingly, using the common operationalization of the term bias in the fairness literature, novel types of so far unreported bias types in word embedding models have also been identified. Specifically, the popular embedding models analyzed here display negative biases against middle and working-class socioeconomic status, male children, senior citizens, plain physical appearance, Islamic religious faith, non-religiosity and conservative political orientation. Reasons for the paradoxical underreporting of these bias types in the relevant literature are probably manifold but widely held blind spots when searching for algorithmic bias and a lack of widespread technical jargon to unambiguously describe a variety of algorithmic associations could conceivably be playing a role. The causal origins for the multiplicity of loaded associations attached to distinct demographic groups within embedding models are often unclear but the heterogeneity of said associations and their potential multifactorial roots raises doubts about the validity of grouping them all under the umbrella term bias. Richer and more fine-grained terminology as well as a more comprehensive exploration of the bias landscape could help the fairness epistemic community to characterize and neutralize algorithmic discrimination more efficiently.

Two-level system as topological actuator for nanomechanical modes

description: We investigate theoretically the dynamics of two quasidegenerate mechanical modes coupled through an open quantum two-level system. A mean-field approach shows that by engineering the retarded response of the two-level system with a coherent drive, the non-Hermitian mechanical spectrum exhibits an exceptional degeneracy point where the two modes coalesce. We show that this degeneracy can be exploited to manipulate the vectorial polarization of the mechanical oscillations. We find that adiabatically varying the detuning and the intensity of the drive induces a rotation of the mechanical polarization, which enables the topological and chiral actuation of one mode from the other. This topological manifestation of the degeneracy is further supported by quantum-jump Monte Carlo simulations to account for the strong quantum fluctuations due to the spontaneous emission of the two-level system. Our presentation focuses on a promising realization based on flexural modes of a carbon-nanotube cantilever coupled to a single-molecule electric dipole irradiated by a laser.

title: Biogas Production from Co-Digestion of Landfill Leachate and Pineapple Peel
Creators: name: Jaroenpoj, Souwalak
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Biogas production
subject: Pineapple peel
subject: Landfill leachate
subject: Mono-digestion of leachate

description: This research study examined the behaviour of co-digestion of landfill leachate with pineapple peel, focusing on biogas production. Laboratory scale batch experiments were conducted to investigate mono-digestion of leachate and of pineapple peel, and their co-digestion with three different mixing ratios. The inoculum and pineapple peel were derived from the Golden Circle factory and the leachate was collected from the Rochedale Landfill site in Brisbane, Australia. Mono-digestion of leachate had methane yield of 24 L kgVSconsumed-1 and volatile solids (VS) removal efficiency of 37%. The results from mono-digestion of pineapple peel showed the higher methane yield of 317 L kgVSconsumed-1 and higher VS removal efficiency of 80%. The reasons for better performance of digestion in pineapple peel digestion are the pineapple peel had a carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N) of 24 to 1 that is suitable for anaerobic digestion process and the leachate sample was in mature age, as evidenced from low volatile solids (VS) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) composition and high pH level. Co-digestion batch experiments were run in the same reactors. 25 L of leachate was mixed with three ratios of pineapple peel - one, two and three kgVSpineapple peel m-3. The results showed that co-digestion of the leachate with two kgVSpineapple peel m-3 achieved the highest methane yield of 269 L kgVSconsumed-1 and 80% VS and 89% COD removal efficiency with good stability in the reactor. Further addition of pineapple peel at three kgVSpineapple peel m-3 to the leachate slightly decreased the biogas yield and overall VS and COD removal efficiency. The co-digestion results showed better performance than the mono-digestion of leachate due to synergism from pineapple peel as a co-substrate.
