Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: We present vortex solutions for the homogeneous two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate featuring dipolar atomic interactions, mapped out as a function of the dipolar interaction strength (relative to the contact interactions) and polarization direction. Stable vortex solutions arise in the regimes where the fully homogeneous system is stable to the phonon or roton instabilities. Close to these instabilities, the vortex profile differs significantly from that of a vortex in a nondipolar quantum gas, developing, for example, density ripples and an anisotropic core. Meanwhile, the vortex itself generates a mesoscopic dipolar potential which, at distance, scales as 1/ρ2 and has an angular dependence which mimics the microscopic dipolar interaction.

description: A series of new lanthanide coordination polymers has been synthesized and structurally characterized; [Ln4(TTHA)2(pzac)(H3O)2(H2O)]⋅5H2O (Ln = Pr (1a) and Nd (1b)), [Sm8(TTHA)4(pzac)0.5(H3O)(H2O)7.5]⋅4H2O (2), [Ln4(HTTHA)2(SO4)(H2O)4]⋅5H2O (Ln = Pr (3a) and Nd (3b)), where H6TTHA = 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine hexaacetic acid, and H2pzac = 2,5-dioxo-piperazine-1,4-diacetic acid. The compounds feature three-dimensional frameworks comprising the deprotonated H6TTHA as the primary ligand and either the in situ generated pzac2- or sulfate as the secondary ligands. The influence of the deprotonated H6TTHA in directing the framework structures through preferential coordination modes and molecular conformation is described. The effect of the secondary ligands in increasing the compactness of the frameworks and in the alternation of the framework topologies based on the four-connected pts type is described.

description: ABSTRACTIn risk assessment and environmental monitoring studies, concentration measurements frequently fall below detection limits (DL) of measuring instruments, resulting in left-censored data. The principal approaches for handling censored data include the substitution-based method, maximum likelihood estimation, robust regression on order statistics, and Kaplan-Meier. In practice, censored data are substituted with an arbitrary value prior to use of traditional statistical methods. Although some studies have evaluated the substitution performance in estimating population characteristics, they have focused mainly on normally and lognormally distributed data that contain a single DL. We employ Monte Carlo simulations to assess the impact of substitution when estimating population parameters based on censored data containing multiple DLs. We also consider different distributional assumptions including lognormal, Weibull, and gamma. We show that the reliability of the estimates after substitution is highly sensitive to distributional characteristics such as mean, standard deviation, skewness, and also data characteristics such as censoring percentage. The results highlight that although the performance of the substitution-based method improves as the censoring percentage decreases, its performance still depends on the population’s distributional characteristics. Practical implications that follow from our findings indicate that caution must be taken in using the substitution method when analyzing censored environmental data.

description: In this paper we present gas density, star formation rate (SFR), stellar masses, and bulge-disk decompositions for a sample of 60 galaxies. Our sample is the combined sample of the BIMA SONG, CARMA STING, and PdBI NUGA surveys. We study the effect of using CO-to-H2 conversion factors that depend on the CO surface brightness, and also that of correcting SFRs for diffuse emission from old stellar populations. We estimate that SFRs in bulges are typically lower by 20% when correcting for diffuse emission. Using the surface brightness dependent conversion factor, we find that over half of the galaxies in our sample have Σmol > 100 M ⊙ pc-2. Though our sample is not complete in any sense, our results are enough to rule out the assumption that bulges are uniformly gas-poor systems. We find a trend between gas density of bulges and bulge S.

description: We compared the central mass distribution of dwarf and spiral galaxies simulated with three different models of the interstellar medium with increasing complexity: primordial (H+He) cooling, additional cooling via metal lines, and molecular hydrogen ( H2) with shielding of atomic and molecular hydrogen, in addition to metal-line cooling. We followed the evolution of four high-resolution, simulated galaxies with Vpeak < 120 km s-1 to a redshift of zero in a fully cosmological Λ cold dark matter context. The spiral galaxies produced with either primordial cooling or H2 physics had realistic, rising rotation curves. However, the simulations with metal-line cooling produced spiral galaxies with peaked rotation curves. These differences represent changes to the amount of low-angular-momentum baryons removed by stellar feedback. When there was only primordial cooling, the star-forming gas was hotter and the feedback-heated gas cooled relatively slowly so less energy was required to expel it. When H2 was included, the accompanying shielding produced large amounts of clumpy, cold gas, and the supernova feedback was more highly concentrated. In contrast to the spiral galaxies, the dwarfs had similarly realistic concentrations and displayed similar behaviour across all models because their low metallicities resulted in smaller differences is the behaviour of the gas.

description: The effect of the alkyl substituents on amidic N atoms in diglycolamide (DGA) compounds on solvent extraction has been investigated. The solubility in water and n-dodecane, lanthanide loading capacity, and distribution ratios (D) of lanthanides and actinides for various DGA compounds are reported. DGA derivatives with short alkyl chains, for example, methyl and ethyl groups, are very water soluble, while DGA derivatives with long alkyl chains, for example, octyl (TODGA), decyl (TDDGA), dodecyl (TDdDGA), and 2-ethylhexyl (TEHDGA) group are moderately soluble in n-dodecane. DGA derivatives with phenyl substituents have very low solubility in both aqueous and organic solvents, which suggests that these compounds will not be suitable for solvent extraction applications in the HNO3/n-dodecane systems. The lanthanide loading capacities of DGA extractants correlate with their alkyl chain lengths according to the following order: TDdDGA > TDDGA > TODGA > TEHDGA. The branched-alkyl-chain DGA derivative (TEHDGA) exhibits both lower D and loading capacity than TODGA. The results of masking-effect and solubility tests indicate that TEDGA is the best actinide masking agent among the water-soluble DGA derivatives tested. Actinide and lanthanide extractions using ten DGA compounds in six diluents (nitrobenzene, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1-octanol, chloroform, toluene, and n-dodecane) are also reported; it was observed that lipophilic DGA derivatives with shorter alkyl chains show higher D values.

Axonal velocity distributions in neural field equations
Creators: name: Bojak, Ingo

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: By modelling the average activity of large neuronal populations, continuum mean field models (MFMs) have become an increasingly important theoretical tool for understanding the emergent activity of cortical tissue. In order to be computationally tractable, long-range propagation of activity in MFMs is often approximated with partial differential equations (PDEs). However, PDE approximations in current use correspond to underlying axonal velocity distributions incompatible with experimental measurements. In order to rectify this deficiency, we here introduce novel propagation PDEs that give rise to smooth unimodal distributions of axonal conduction velocities. We also argue that velocities estimated from fibre diameters in slice and from latency measurements, respectively, relate quite differently to such distributions, a significant point for any phenomenological description. Our PDEs are then successfully fit to fibre diameter data from human corpus callosum and rat subcortical white matter. This allows for the first time to simulate long-range conduction in the mammalian brain with realistic, convenient PDEs. Furthermore, the obtained results suggest that the propagation of activity in rat and human differs significantly beyond mere scaling. The dynamical consequences of our new formulation are investigated in the context of a well known neural field model. On the basis of Turing instability analyses, we conclude that pattern formation is more easily initiated using our more realistic propagator. By increasing characteristic conduction velocities, a smooth transition can occur from self-sustaining bulk oscillations to travelling waves of various wavelengths, which may influence axonal growth during development. Our analytic results are also corroborated numerically using simulations on a large spatial grid. Thus we provide here a comprehensive analysis of empirically constrained activity propagation in the context of MFMs, which will allow more realistic studies of mammalian brain activity in the future.

description: The importance of climate services, i.e. providing targeted, tailored, and timely weather and climate information, has gained momentum, but requires improved understanding of user needs. This article identifies the opportunities and barriers to the use of climate services for planning in Malawi, to identify the types of information that can better inform future adaptation decisions in sub-Saharan Africa. From policy analysis, stakeholder interviews, and a national workshop utilizing serious games, it is determined that only 5–10 day and seasonal forecasts are currently being used in government decision making. Impediments to greater integration of climate services include spatial and temporal scale, accessibility, timing, credibility and the mismatch in timeframes between planning cycles (1–5 years) and climate projections (over 20 years). Information that could more usefully inform planning decisions includes rainfall distribution within a season, forecasts with 2–3 week lead times, likely timing and location of extreme events in the short term (1–5 years), and projections (e.g. rainfall and temperature change) in the medium term (6–20 years). Development of a national set of scenarios would also make climate information more accessible to decision makers, and capacity building around such scenarios would enable its improved use in short- to medium-term planning. Improved climate science and its integration with impact models offer exciting opportunities for integrated climate-resilient planning across sub-Saharan Africa. Accrual of positive impacts requires enhanced national capacity to interpret climate information and implement communication strategies across sectors. Policy relevance For climate services to achieve their goal of improving adaptation decision making, it is necessary to understand the decision making process and how and when various types of weather and climate information can be incorporated. Through a case study of public sector planning in Malawi, this article highlights relevant planning and policy-making processes. The current use of weather and climate information and needs, over various timescales – sub-annual to short term (1–5 years) to medium term (6–20 years) – is outlined. If climate scientists working with boundary organizations are able to address these issues in a more targeted, sector-facing manner they will improve the uptake of climate services and the likelihood of climate-resilient decisions across sub-Saharan Africa.
Modulation of functional EEG networks by the NMDA antagonist nitrous oxide

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Parietal networks are hypothesised to play a central role in the cortical information synthesis that supports conscious experience and behavior. Significant reductions in parietal level functional connectivity have been shown to occur during general anesthesia with propofol and a range of other GABAergic general anesthetic agents. Using two analysis approaches (1) a graph theoretic analysis based on surrogate-corrected zero-lag correlations of scalp EEG, and (2) a global coherence analysis based on the EEG cross-spectrum, we reveal that sedation with the NMDA receptor antagonist nitrous oxide (N2O), an agent that has quite different electroencephalographic effects compared to the inductive general anesthetics, also causes significant alterations in parietal level functional networks, as well as changes in full brain and frontal level networks. A total of 20 subjects underwent N2O inhalation at either 20%, 40% or 60% peak N2O/O2 gas concentration levels. N2O-induced reductions in parietal network level functional connectivity (on the order of 50%) were exclusively detected by utilising a surface Laplacian derivation, suggesting that superficial, smaller spatial scale, cortical networks were most affected. In contrast reductions in frontal network functional connectivity were optimally discriminated using a common-reference derivation (reductions on the order of 10%), indicating that the NMDA antagonist N2O induces spatially coherent and widespread perturbations in frontal activity. Our findings not only give important weight to the idea of agent invariant final network changes underlying drug-induced reductions in consciousness, but also provide significant impetus for the application and development of multiscale functional analyses to systematically characterise the network level cortical effects of NMDA receptor related hypofunction. Future work at the source space level will be needed to verify the consistency between cortical network changes seen at the source level and those presented here at the EEG sensor space level.

Ketamine, propofol and the EEG: a neural field analysis of HCN1-mediated interactions

name: Day, Harry C.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Ketamine and propofol are two well-known, powerful anesthetic agents, yet at first sight this appears to be their only commonality. Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic agent, whose main mechanism of action is considered to be N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonism; whereas propofol is a general anesthetic agent, which is assumed to primarily potentiate currents gated by y-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors. However, several experimental observations suggest a closer relationship. First, the effect of ketamine on the electroencephalogram (EEG) is markedly changed in the presence of propofol: on its own ketamine increases theta (4-8 Hz) and decreases alpha (8-13 Hz) oscillations, whereas ketamine induces a significant shift to beta band frequencies (13-30 Hz) in the presence of propofol. Second, both ketamine and propofol cause inhibition of the inward pacemaker current Ih, by binding to the corresponding hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide- gated potassium channel 1 (HCN1) subunit. The resulting effect is a hyperpolarization of the neuron's resting membrane potential. Third, the ability of both ketamine and propofol to induce hypnosis is reduced in HCN1-knockout mice. Here we show that one can theoretically understand the observed spectral changes of the EEG based on HCN1-mediated hyperpolarizations alone, without involving the supposed main mechanisms of action of these drugs through NMDA and GABAA, respectively. On the basis of our successful EEG model we conclude that ketamine and propofol should be antagonistic to each other in their interaction at HCN1 subunits. Such a prediction is in accord with the results of clinical experiment in which it is found that ketamine and propofol interact in an infra-additive manner with respect to the endpoints of hypnosis and immobility.

description: Clinical studies showed that renal expression and serum levels of nerve growth factor (NGF) are increased in renal diseases characterized by progressive fibrosis, a pathologic process in which TGF-β1 mediates most of the key events leading to tubular epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, the pathogenic role of high NGF levels has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we found that in tubular renal cells, HK-2, NGF transcriptionally up-regulated TGF-β1 expression and secretion and enhanced cell motility by activating EMT markers via its receptors, TrkA and p75NTR. Interestingly, we observed that TGF-β1–SMAD pathway activation and the up-regulation of EMT markers NGF-induced were both prevented when knockdown of TGF-β1 gene occurred and that the pretreatment with an antibody anti-NGF reversed the nuclear translocation of pSMAD3/SMAD4 complex. Collectively, our results demonstrated that NGF promotes renal fibrosis via TGF-β1-signaling activation, suggesting that in kidney diseases high NGF serum levels could contribute to worsen renal fibrosis.

description: Distributed enterprise systems, which are comprised of multiple software systems, typically communicate using application-layer protocols. Being able to independently test each system’s conformance to the protocol specification is important to ensure the overall robustness and reliability of the distributed system. While there exists many modelling languages for network layer protocols, very few tools exist for modelling valid message sequences specifically for the application layer. In order to address this issue, we propose a concise formal modelling syntax for application-layer protocols, with clearly defined semantics. A key feature of our protocol model is dynamic extension, which is necessary for the concise modelling of subsidiary concurrent operations. We demonstrate the power of our modelling language by compactly specifying the valid message sequences of two common application-layer protocols. Trace conformance is defined for the model along with a prototype implementation demonstrating the practical utility of our modelling framework.

description: An increase in food-borne illnesses in the United States has been associated with fresh produce consumption. Irrigation water presents recognized risks for microbial contamination of produce. Water quality criteria rely on indicator bacteria. The objective of this review was to collate and summarize experimental data on the relationships between pathogens and thermotolerant coliform (THT) and/or generic E. coli, specifically focusing on surface fresh waters used in or potentially suitable for irrigation agriculture. We analyzed peer-reviewed publications in which concentrations of E. coli or THT coliforms in surface fresh waters were measured along with concentrations of one or more of waterborne and food-borne pathogenic organisms. The proposed relationships were significant in 35% of all instances and not significant in 65% of instances. Coliform indicators alone cannot provide conclusive, non-site-specific and non-pathogen-specific information about the presence and/or concentrations of most important pathogens in surface waters suitable for irrigation. Standards of microbial water quality for irrigation can rely not only on concentrations of indicators and/or pathogens, but must include references to crop management. Critical information on microbial composition of actual irrigation waters to support criteria of microbiological quality of irrigation waters appears to be lacking and needs to be collected.

Remarks. Clupeonella cultriventris is widespread along coasts of the Black and Caspian Seas, entering lower reaches of rivers. Based on unpublished data (see Kuljanishvili et al. 2020) including molecular and morphological studies they failed to distinguish the Caspian population (C. caspia) from the Black Sea population (C. cultriventris). Hoestlandt (1991) followed by Kottelat & Freyhof (2007) separate them largely based on the length of paired fins, a character that found to be very much overlapping in the materials examined by Kuljanishvili et al. (2020). Therefore, they treated C. caspia as a synonym of C. cultriventris.

description: E17 Motorway Landscapes proposes a relational and processual re-mapping of the E17 as it crosses the south of West Flanders in Belgium. Motorways are usually conceived, perceived and most often mapped as alien elements superimposed on the territory. To be able – at least partially – to break free from this settled cartographic orthodoxy, the re-mapping of the motorway follows three specific strategies of cartographic exploration. First of all, the motorway landscape is cartographically de- and recomposed according to a relational rather than to a topographical logic, thereby revealing alternative measures of rhythm and contextual reinterpretations of scale. Second, the motorway landscape is mapped as a process by incorporating the previous state of the selected elements into the maps and by furthermore stressing their transformations in relation to the E17. Lastly, the motorway landscape is reimagined as a thick, albeit fragmented body, by means of a content-specific symbolization scheme, designed to reflect attunement and relationality between different object categories.

description: CONTEXT Innovation and creativity are essential and related to entrepreneurial learning, skills, knowledge and mindset. Previous research specified requirements for engineering educational programs to boost students’ creative skills in engineering. In order to enhance creative thinking among engineering students, our teaching team has developed an interdisciplinary subject integrating entrepreneurship components into a traditional operational management perspective. Our teaching team endeavoured to build capabilities that allow future engineer graduates to engage in a creative process to solve a problem or to design and make a new artefact and become techno-entrepreneurs. Our works analysed whether a major assessment within a subject in third year engineering curricula – a team project to develop a business plan based on a new idea – help students to implement their learning into tangible outcomes and develop their creative skills. PURPOSE The main research question in this paper is whether students utilize or implement the lecture content in their group projects to learn effectively and enhance their learning. APPROACH Researchers in this paper analysed students’ projects, which were submitted as group assignments during three years between 2014 and 2016 in regards to how students applied the lecture content and tutorial activities in their projects. Focusing on creativity and innovation as the main elements of selecting a new idea for the project, we evaluated whether the teaching and learning process helped students to learn and apply concepts of creativity and innovation in a practical project. In addition, we were looking to classify types of ideas and areas of businesses that engineering students have been interested in. RESULTS The findings showed that majority of engineering students were focusing on new technologies to introduce new products and develop new services. On the other hand, although the concepts of creativity and innovation are necessary for their projects, students mainly followed up the current trends in technologies that pioneered by large corporations in high tech industries. In these circumstances, it seems students followed the type of innovation known as “incremental innovation” or steady improvements based on sustained technologies. CONCLUSIONS Students paid attention to the concept of creativity and incremental innovations in their projects as part of the lecture content and learning objectives, but often they did not try radical innovations or fundamental rethink based on disruptive technologies. This evidence encouraged our teaching team to modify the requirements of projects, give more values and marks regarding radical innovation in assessment rubrics and at the same time, take more emphases in lectures and tutorials to encourage students to try radical innovations.

description: Background: Finland repeatedly reports some of the highest incidences of tularaemia worldwide. To determine genetic diversity of the aetiologic agent of tularaemia, Francisella tularensis, a total of 76 samples from humans (n = 15) and animals (n = 61) were analysed. Methods: We used CanSNPs and canINDEL hydrolysis or TaqMan MGB probes for the analyses, either directly from the clinical tissue samples (n = 21) or from bacterial isolates (n = 55). Results: The genotypes of the strains were assigned to three previously described basal subspecies holarctica clades. The majority of strains (n = 67) were assigned to B.12, a clade reported to dominate in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. A single strain was assigned to clade B.4, previously reported from North America, Europe and China. The remaining strains (n = 8) were members of clade B.6. Importantly, new diversity was discovered in clade B.6. We describe two newly designed TaqMan MGB probe assays for this new B.6 subclade B.70, and its previously identified sister clade B.11, a clade dominantly found in Western Europe. Conclusions: The high genetic diversity of F. tularensis subspecies holarctica present in Finland is consistent with previous findings in Sweden. The results suggest a northern and southern division of the B.6 subclade B.10, where B.11 predominates in Western and Central Europe and B.70 is found in Fennoscandia. Further research is required to define whether the vast diversity of genotypes found is related to different habitats or reservoir species, their different postglacial immigration routes to Fennoscandia, or dynamics of the reservoir species.
