description: In Nature Machine Intelligence 4, 367 (2022), Schuetz et al provide a scheme to employ graph neural networks (GNN) as a heuristic to solve a variety of classical, NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems. It describes how the network is trained on sample instances and the resulting GNN heuristic is evaluated applying widely used techniques to determine its ability to succeed. Clearly, the idea of harnessing the powerful abilities of such networks to ``learn'' the intricacies of complex, multimodal energy landscapes in such a hands-off approach seems enticing. And based on the observed performance, the heuristic promises to be highly scalable, with a computational cost linear in the input size $n$, although there is likely a significant overhead in the pre-factor due to the GNN itself. However, closer inspection shows that the reported results for this GNN are only minutely better than those for gradient descent and get outperformed by a greedy algorithm, for example, for Max-Cut. The discussion also highlights what I believe are some common misconceptions in the evaluations of heuristics.

description: We investigate the thermal properties of these Zirconium based materials using confocal Raman spectroscopy. We observed 2 different and distinctive Raman signatures for exfoliated ZrX2 (where X = S or Se). These Raman modes generally depend on the shape of the exfoliated nanosheets, regardless of the incident laser polarization. These 2 shapes are divided into 2D- ZrX2 and quasi 1D- ZrX2. For 2D- ZrX2, Raman modes are in alignment with those reported in literature. However, for quasi 1D-ZrX2, we show that Raman modes are identical to exfoliated ZrX3 nanosheets, indicating a major lattice transformation from 2D to quasi-1D. We also measure thermal properties of each resonant Raman mode for each ZrX2 shape. Based on our measurements, most Raman modes exhibit a linear downshift dependence with temperature. However, for ZrS2, we see an upshift (blueshift) with temperature for A1g mode, which is attributed to non-harmonic effects caused by dipolar coupling with IR-active modes. Moreover, the observed temperature dependence coefficient for some phonon modes of quasi 1D-ZrX2 differ dramatically, which can be caused by the quasi 1D lattice. Finally, we measure phonon dynamics under optical heating for each of 2D-ZrX2 and quasi 1D-ZrX2 and show phonon confinement in quasi 1D-ZrX2 nanosheets. We extract the thermal conductivity and the interfacial thermal conductance for each of 2D-ZrX2 and quasi 1D-ZrX2 nanosheets. Our calculations indicate lower interfacial thermal conductance for quasi 1D-ZrX2 compared to 2D-ZrX2, which can be attributed to the phonon confinement in 1D. Based on our model, we show low thermal conductivity for all ZrX2 nanosheets. Our results demonstrate exceptional thermal properties for ZrX2 materials, making them ideal for future thermal management strategies and thermoelectric device applications.

description: Content warning: Tape VR63 contains a brief description of a racist encounter targeting an African American woman in which highly offensive language is used. Production material centres around a roundtable discussion with Lorna Wanosts’a7 Williams, Lettie Battle, Bill Mussell (Skwah First Nation), Sharon Wilson (Nuxalk Nation), Yvette Jackson, Marian Vriend, and Francine Herlihy[?] during Feuerstein’s Summer Institute in Shoresh, Israel. The discussion provides the opportunity for educators and professionals both racialized and working within racialized communities in Vancouver, the United States, France, and Amsterdam to share stories, experiences, and perspectives on the intersection of culture and education. The discussion focuses on Reuven Feuerstein’s characterization of cultural difference and cultural deprivation; how cultural differences are treated in inequitable societies and how this shapes the beliefs individuals have towards their own culture and overall potential; the role of educators in empowering individuals to see their potential to succeed and meet life’s challenges, as well as limitations of that role in helping to meet that goal; and impressions of Feuerstein and how his mission and work has empowered them as educators. The roundtable discussion runs from 15:08 in part 1, and continues until 25:12 in part 7. Following this is a brief section to gather ambient sound from the room, followed by Bill Mussell’s impressions of Feuerstein at 26:40 until the end of part 7 which were missed earlier in the discussion. Additional sequences of Reuven Feuerstein giving demonstrations with some unidentified students as part of the Summer Institute can be found proceeding the discussion.

description: We initiate a holographic study of coupling-dependent heavy ion collisions by analysing for the first time the effects of leading-order, inverse coupling constant corrections. In the dual description, this amounts to colliding gravitational shock waves in a theory with curvature-squared terms. We find that at intermediate coupling, nuclei experience less stopping and have more energy deposited near the lightcone. When the decreased coupling results in an 80% larger shear viscosity, the time at which hydrodynamics becomes a good description of the plasma created from high energy collisions increases by 25%. The hydrodynamic phase of the evolution starts with a wider rapidity profile and smaller entropy.

Late-time H/He-poor circumstellar interaction in the type-Ic supernova SN 2021ocs: an exposed oxygen-magnesium layer and extreme stripping of the progenitor

description: Supernova (SN) 2021ocs was discovered in the galaxy NGC 7828 ($z = 0.01911$) within the interacting system Arp 144, and subsequently classified as a normal type-Ic SN around peak brightness. VLT/FORS2 observations in the nebular phase at 148 d reveal that the spectrum is dominated by oxygen and magnesium emission lines of different transitions and ionization states: O I, [O I], [O II], [O III], Mg I, and Mg II. Such a spectrum has no counterpart in the literature, though it bears a few features similar to those of some interacting type Ibn and Icn SNe. Additionally, SN 2021ocs showed a blue color, $(g-r) \lesssim -0.5$ mag, after the peak and up to late phases, atypical for a type-Ic SN. Together with the nebular spectrum, this suggests that SN 2021ocs underwent late-time interaction with an H/He-poor circumstellar medium (CSM), resulting from the pre-SN progenitor mass loss during its final $\sim$1000 days. The strong O and Mg lines and the absence of strong C and He lines suggest that the progenitor star's O-Mg layer is exposed, which places SN 2021ocs as the most extreme case of massive progenitor star's envelope stripping in interacting SNe, followed by type-Icn (stripped C-O layer) and Ibn (stripped He-rich layer) SNe. This is the first time such a case is reported in the literature. SN 2021ocs emphasizes the importance of late-time spectroscopy of SNe, even for those classified as normal events, to reveal the inner ejecta and progenitor star's CSM and mass loss.

Molecular interactions of the malarial vaccine candidate AMA1 from Plasmodium falciparum

Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the School of Molecular Sciences, Faculty of Science, Technology and Engineering, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

Apical membrane antigen 1 (AMA1) is a malarial protein thought to be critical for parasite invasion of host red blood cells. AMA1 is an important vaccine candidate, however its precise function remains unclear. Investigations by Alexander et al (2006) revealed that AMA1 interacted with a rhoptry neck protein, RON4, in Plasmodium. An aim of this project was to dissect the molecular interactions of the two proteins. Data produced in this study reveals a lack of direct binding between the two proteins and suggests that the interaction may be through a complex involving other malarial proteins. These findings were supported by subsequent publications that identified a complex of RON proteins that interact with AMA1. Further publications revealed that RON2, another rhoptry neck protein, was also interacting with AMA1. In late 2011, two publications identified the Cterminus of PfRON2 as interacting with the hydrophobic trough of AMA1. PfRON2 became of particular interest as other studies showed it was the only protein found to directly bind to AMA1 through its C-terminus. In this study, the central conserved region within PfRON2 is investigated for its ability to bind to AMA1. A stretch of amino acids rich in hydrophobic residues was identified as possibly binding to AMA1. Data produced suggests that these PfRON2 peptides can compete with well-characterized AMA1 binding reagents. These peptides also compete with the PfRON2 C-terminus for binding to AMA1. The data is supported by other studies (published and unpublished) and provides a foundation for further investigation into this region. During this project a panel of novel inhibitory monoclonal antibodies that bind to AMA1 were characterized. These antibodies were raised against several strains of AMA1 and appear to recognize conserved epitopes on the surface of the antigen. Despite the observation that all monoclonals tested could inhibit merozoite invasion, only some of them could block RON2 binding to AMA1, therefore suggesting that inhibitory mAbs may have different mechanisms of inhibiting parasite invasion.

description: Here we present inelastic neutron scattering measurements from the frustrated, quantum spin-1/2 chain material linarite, PbCuSO_4(OH)_2. Time of flight data, taken at 0.5K and zero applied magnetic field reveals low-energy dispersive spin wave excitations below 1.5meV both parallel and perpendicular to the Cu-chain direction. From this we confirm that the interchain couplings within linarite are around 10% of the nearest neighbour intrachain interactions. We analyse the data within both linear spin-wave theory and density matrix renormalisation group theories and establish the main magnetic exchange interactions and the simplest realistic Hamiltonian for this material.

description: We demonstrate Yokoyama gaugeon formalism for the Abelian one-form gauge (Maxwell) as well as for Abelian two-form gauge theory in the very special relativity (VSR) framework. In VSR scenario, the extended action due to introduction of gaugeon fields also possesses form invariance under quantum gauge transformations. It is observed that the gaugeon field together with gauge field naturally acquire mass, which is different from the conventional Higgs mechanism. The quantum gauge transformation implements a shift in gauge parameter. Further, we analyse the BRST symmetric gaugeon formalism in VSR which embeds only one subsidiary condition rather than two.

description: SrRuO$_3$ heterostructures grown in the (111) direction are a rare example of thin film ferromagnets. By means of density functional theory plus dynamical mean field theory we show that the half-metallic ferromagnetic state with an ordered magnetic moment of 2$μ_{B}$/Ru survives the ultimate dimensional confinement down to a bilayer, even at elevated temperatures of 500$\,$K. In the minority channel, the spin-orbit coupling opens a gap at the linear band crossing corresponding to $\frac34$ filling of the $t_{2g}$ shell. We demonstrate that the respective state is Haldane's quantum anomalous Hall state with Chern number $C$=1, without an external magnetic field or magnetic impurities.

description: The aim of this study was to describe how professionals from multiple disciplines (e.g., speech-language pathologists, teachers, occupational therapists) in the United States reported challenges they face in delivering services to children with cortical visual impairment (CVI) who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). Three surveys were utilized to identify barriers to and priorities for improving educational and clinical services and in-service and preservice education from the perspectives of professionals in school, community, and university settings. Results suggest that current service delivery models may not be meeting the needs of either children with CVI who use AAC or the professionals whose job it is to provide them with services. Professionals in community-based settings appeared to encounter more barriers. Findings help to support a discussion about approaching AAC interventions for children with CVI who use AAC by adopting interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) and interprofessional education (IPE) models, which reflect long-standing best practice guidelines for AAC service delivery and are encouraged by multiple professional organizations.

description: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are one of the most mysterious astronomical transients. Observationally, they can be classified into repeaters and apparently non-repeaters. However, due to the lack of continuous observations, some apparently repeaters may have been incorrectly recognized as non-repeaters. In a series of two papers, we intend to solve such problem with machine learning. In this second paper of the series, we focus on an array of unsupervised machine learning methods. We apply multiple unsupervised machine learning algorithms to the first CHIME/FRB catalog to learn their features and classify FRBs into different clusters without any premise about the FRBs being repeaters or non-repeaters. These clusters reveal the differences between repeaters and non-repeaters. Then, by comparing with the identities of the FRBs in the observed classes, we evaluate the performance of various algorithms and analyze the physical meaning behind the results. Finally, we recommend a list of most credible repeater candidates as targets for future observing campaigns to search for repeated bursts in combination of the results presented in Paper I using supervised machine learning methods.

description: Within the $α$-attractors framework we investigate scalar potentials with the same pole as the one featured in the kinetic term. We show that, in field space, this leads to directions without a plateau. Using this, we present a proposal, which manages to overcome the initial conditions problem of inflation with a plateau. An earlier period of proto-inflation, beginning at Planck scale, accounts for the Universe expansion and arranges the required initial conditions for inflation on the plateau to commence. We show that, if proto-inflation is power-law, it does not suffer from a sub-Planckian eternal inflationary stage, which would otherwise be a problem. A simple model realisation is constructed in the context of $α$-attractors, which can both generate the inflationary plateau and the exponential slopes around it, necessary for the two inflation stages. Our mechanism allows to assume chaotic initial conditions at the Planck scale for proto-inflation, it is generic and it is shown to work without fine-tuning.

description: Adiabatic quantum-flux-parametron (AQFP) logic is an ultra-low-power superconductor logic family. AQFP logic gates are powered and clocked by dedicated clocking schemes using ac excitation currents to implement an energy-efficient switching process, adiabatic switching. We have proposed a low-latency clocking scheme, delay-line clocking, and demonstrated basic AQFP logic gates. In order to test more complex circuits, a serializer/deserializer (SerDes) should be incorporated into the AQFP circuit under test, since the number of input/output (I/O) cables is limited by equipment. Therefore, in the present study we propose and develop a novel SerDes for testing delay-line-clocked AQFP circuits by combining AQFP and rapid single-flux-quantum (RSFQ) logic families, which we refer to as the AQFP/RSFQ hybrid SerDes. The hybrid SerDes comprises RSFQ shift registers to facilitate the data storage during serial-to-parallel and parallel-to-serial conversion. Furthermore, all the component circuits in the hybrid SerDes are clocked by the identical excitation current to synchronize the AQFP and RSFQ parts. We fabricate and demonstrate a delay-line-clocked AQFP circuit (8-to-3 encoder, which is the largest delay-line-clocked circuit ever designed) integrated with the hybrid SerDes at 4.2 K up to 4.5 GHz. Our measurement results indicate that the hybrid SerDes enables the testing of delay-line-clocked AQFP circuits with only a few I/O cables and is thus a powerful tool for the development of very large-scale integration AQFP circuits.

description: Multi-modal foundation models are typically trained on millions of pairs of natural images and text captions, frequently obtained through web-crawling approaches. Although such models depict excellent generative capabilities, they do not typically generalize well to specific domains such as medical images that have fundamentally shifted distributions compared to natural images. Building generative models for medical images that faithfully depict clinical context may help alleviate the paucity of healthcare datasets. Thus, in this study, we seek to research and expand the representational capabilities of large pretrained foundation models to medical concepts, specifically for leveraging the Stable Diffusion model to generate domain specific images found in medical imaging. We explore the sub-components of the Stable Diffusion pipeline (the variational autoencoder, the U-Net and the text-encoder) to fine-tune the model to generate medical images. We benchmark the efficacy of these efforts using quantitative image quality metrics and qualitative radiologist-driven evaluations that accurately represent the clinical content of conditional text prompts. Our best-performing model improves upon the stable diffusion baseline and can be conditioned to insert a realistic-looking abnormality on a synthetic radiology image, while maintaining a 95% accuracy on a classifier trained to detect the abnormality.

description: We propose to use pulsar scintillation measurements to test predictions of alternative theories of gravity. Comparing to single-path pulsar timing measurements, the scintillation measurements can achieve a factor of 10^5 improvement in timing accuracy, due to the effect of multi-path interference. Previous scintillation measurements of PSR B0834+06 have data acquisition for hours, making this approach sensitive to mHz gravitational waves. Therefore it has unique advantages in measuring gravitational effect or other mechanisms (at mHz and above frequencies) on light propagation. We illustrate its application in constraining scalar gravitational-wave background, in which case the sensitivities can be greatly improved with respect to previous limits. We expect much broader applications in testing gravity with existing and future pulsar scintillation observations.

description: Keyphrase extraction is the process of automatically selecting a small set of most relevant phrases from a given text. Supervised keyphrase extraction approaches need large amounts of labeled training data and perform poorly outside the domain of the training data. In this paper, we present PatternRank, which leverages pretrained language models and part-of-speech for unsupervised keyphrase extraction from single documents. Our experiments show PatternRank achieves higher precision, recall and F1-scores than previous state-of-the-art approaches. In addition, we present the KeyphraseVectorizers package, which allows easy modification of part-of-speech patterns for candidate keyphrase selection, and hence adaptation of our approach to any domain.

description: Traditionally, the enhancement of nucleation rates in the presence of heterogeneous surfaces in crystallisation processes has been attributed to the modification of the interfacial energy of the system according to the classical nucleation theory. However, recent developments have shown that heterogeneous surfaces instead alter the pre-exponential factor of nucleation. In this work, the nucleation kinetics of glycine and diglycine in aqueous solutions have been explored in the presence and absence of a heterogeneous surface. Results from induction time experiments show that the presence of a heterogeneous surface increases the pre-exponential factor by 2-fold or more for both glycine and diglycine, while the interfacial energy remains unchanged for both species. This study suggests that the heterogeneous surface enhances the nucleation rate via hydrogen bond formation with both glycine and diglycine. This is verified by hydrogen bond propensity calculations, molecular functionality analysis, and calculation of the time taken for a solute molecule to attach to the growing nucleus, which is an order of magnitude shorter than the estimated lifetime of the hydrogen bond. The effect of the heterosurface is of greater magnitude for diglycine than for glycine, which may be due to the heightened molecular complementarity between the hydrogen bond donor and acceptor sites on diglycine and the heterosurface

description: In this paper, a method is presented for superimposition (i.e. registration) of eye fundus images from persons with diabetes screened over many years for diabetic retinopathy. The method is fully automatic and robust to camera changes and colour variations across the images both in space and time. All the stages of the process are designed for longitudinal analysis of cohort public health databases where retinal examinations are made at approximately yearly intervals. The method relies on a model correcting two radial distortions and an affine transformation between pairs of images which is robustly fitted on salient points. Each stage involves linear estimators followed by non-linear optimisation. The model of image warping is also invertible for fast computation. The method has been validated (1) on a simulated montage and (2) on public health databases with 69 patients with high quality images (271 pairs acquired mostly with different types of camera and 268 pairs acquired mostly with the same type of camera) with success rates of 92% and 98%, and five patients (20 pairs) with low quality images with a success rate of 100%. Compared to two state-of-the-art methods, ours gives better results.

description: Like the twisting control in magic angle twisted bilayer graphenes, the stacking control is another mechanical approach to manipulate the fundamental properties of solids, especially the van der Waals materials. We explore the stacking-induced magnetic frustration and the spiral spin liquid on a multilayer triangular lattice antiferromagnet where the system is built from ABC stacking with competing intralayer and interlayers couplings. By combining the nematic bond theory and the self-consistent Gaussian approximation, we establish the phase diagram for this ABC-stacked multilayer magnet. It is shown that, the system supports a wide regime of spiral spin liquid with multiple degenerate spiral lines in the reciprocal space, separating the low-temperature spiral order and the high-temperature featureless paramagnet. The transition to the spiral order from the spiral spin liquid regime is first order. We further show that the spiral-spin-liquid behavior persists even with small perturbations such as further neighbor intralayer exchanges. The connection to the ABC-stacked magnets, the effects of Ising or planar spin anisotropy, and the outlook on the stacking-engineered quantum magnets are discussed.

Classical ergodicity and quantum eigenstate thermalization: Analysis in fully connected Ising ferromagnets

description: We investigate the relation between the classical ergodicity and the quantum eigenstate thermalization in the fully connected Ising ferromagnets. In the case of spin-1/2, an expectation value of an observable in a single energy eigenstate coincides with the long-time average in the underlying classical dynamics, which is a consequence of the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin approximation. In the case of spin-1, the underlying classical dynamics is not necessarily ergodic. In that case, it turns out that, in the thermodynamic limit, the statistics of the expectation values of an observable in the energy eigenstates coincides with the statistics of the long-time averages in the underlying classical dynamics starting from random initial states sampled uniformly from the classical phase space. This feature seems to be a general property in semiclassical systems, and the result presented here is crucial in discussing equilibration, thermalization, and dynamical transitions of such systems.

Bushfires and other emergencies: do incident management teams that have worked together make better decisions?

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the School of Psychological Science, Faculty of Science, Technology and Engineering, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

The challenges confronting teams within many organisations are often complex and dynamic so that no single decision maker can develop an adequate understanding of the issues. This has led to distributed decision making (DDM) in which each team member takes responsibility for a component of the decision making. Teams using DDM are found across a range of settings including health, military, emergency services and industry. Central to the composition of such teams is the extent to which members have previously worked with each other (i.e., member familiarity). This thesis investigates the influence of member familiarity on team processes and decision making. The research context was bushfire (wildfire) incident management teams (IMTs). These teams manage large bushfires that may be complex, dynamic, time-pressured and high-stakes events. Study 1 interviewed 15 experienced fire managers to identify the key competencies required for various IMT roles. Analysis of 30 bushfire incidents described by interviewees identified three central competencies: (a) interpersonal and communication skills, (b) leadership, and (c) IMT procedural knowledge. Behavioural indicators from Study 1 helped develop the Study 2 experimental simulation scenarios. Study 2 assessed teamwork and decision-making differences in 32 four-person IMTs. The teams managed simulated bushfire incidents in two team familiarity conditions: (1) members had previously worked together (n = 16), and (2) members had not previously worked together (n = 16). The familiar teams’ performance was clearly superior to that of unfamiliar teams. Familiar teams attended to more fireground events more effectively, produced higher quality reports, made timelier decisions, developed greater situation awareness, and showed greater intra-team trust, satisfaction, and teamwork.

description: Die "Dynamisierung" von Mathematik, die in der Geometrie begann, ergreift nun auch die anderen schulisch relevanten Gebiete, so dass man nun von "Dynamischer Mathematik" sprechen sollte. Es wird gezeigt, wie schon beim grundlegenden Umgang mit Funktionen und Relationen die interaktive kontinuierliche Variation das Verstehen beflügelt. Dieses gilt erst recht bei den Begriffsbildungen der Analysis (u. a. der Krümmung) und der Stochastik. Dort werden nicht nur bei Verteilungen sondern auch bei der Regression interessante interaktive Möglichkeiten darstellt. Das Ziel ist sowohl ein vertieftes Verständnis als auch ein größerer Überblick der Lernenden über die "mathematische Landschaft".
Magnetic black holes in AdS space with nonlinear electrodynamics, extended phase space thermodynamics and Joule--Thomson expansion

description: Thermodynamics of magnetically charged black holes in Anti-de Sitter space in an extended phase space is studied. The cosmological constant is considered as a pressure and the black hole mass is treated as the chemical entalpy. The black hole thermodynamics is similar to the Van der Waals liquid-gas thermodynamics. Quantities conjugated to the nonlinear electrodynamics parameter and a magnetic charge are obtained. The first law of thermodynamics and the generalized Smarr relation take place. We investigate critical behavior of black holes and Joule--Thomson expansion. The Gibbs free energy, the Joule--Thomson coefficient and the inversion temperature are calculated.

description: We study the gravitational baryogenesis mechanism for generating baryon asymmetry in the context of running vacuum models. Regardless if these models can produce a viable cosmological evolution, we demonstrate that they produce a non-zero baryon-to-entropy ratio even if the universe is filled with conformal matter. This is a sound difference between the running vacuum gravitational baryogenesis and the Einstein-Hilbert one, since in the latter case, the predicted baryon-to-entropy ratio is zero. We consider two well known and most used running vacuum models and show that the resulting baryon-to-entropy ratio is compatible with the observational data. Moreover, we also show that the mechanism of gravitational baryogenesis may constrain the running vacuum models.
