description: Protecting minimum riparian corridor widths is a common approach by government authorities seeking to mitigate impacts of urban development on riparian and aquatic ecosystems. However, little data exists to verify the efficacy of these policies for biodiversity conservation. This thesis presents research to this end thereby contributing to urban environmental planning practice. -- To promote ecological sustainability, scientific concepts of biodiversity and urban river function need to be connected closely with environmental policy. Following discussion of these themes, the relationship between biodiversity and corridor width was assessed by comparing ant and plant communities from 18 riparian corridors in the Ku-ring-gai Local Government Area, Sydney. Corridor width was not related to ant and plant species diversity but was related to the assemblage composition of both groups. However, substantial data variability remained unexplained. -- This variability was investigated through exploring relationships between biological and environmental data. Reserve perimeter:area ratio and the gradient of the hillslope were identified as significant predictors of ant and plant richness. Corridor width was the best predictor of plant composition overall due to increased habitat heterogeneity in wider corridors, while soil pH was the best predictor of streamside plant communities. Changes in plant composition were driven primarily by exotic plants. Ant composition was influenced by the proportion of adjacent road cover, vegetation type, and reserve connectivity. -- In response to these results the affect of land use on riparian ant communities was assessed through comparing urban and rural catchments in north-west Sydney. Surprisingly, no significant differences in ant diversity or composition were found, but ants responded the dominance of weeds within the riparian zone. -- This work highlights the complexity of biodiversity patterns in urban riparian systems and suggests that in addition to setting minimum corridor widths, managers should consider local and catchment-wide activities and promote active management of the riparian zone.

description: In view of the extremely important biological and medicinal properties of napthofurans, the synthesis of these heterocycles has fascinated the interest of medicinal and organic chemists. Keeping this in mind, we herein report the synthesis and antimicrobial evaluation of 4-N-aryl-naphtho[2,1-b]furo[3,2-d] pyrimidines 5 (a–l). Structures of these synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectral analysis like IR, NMR, and Mass spectrometry. The in vitro antimicrobial activities were reported for all the compounds 5 (a–l). The compounds 5e and 5f exhibited excellent antibacterial, antifungal, and antidermatophytic activities against tested pathogens at MIC 3.125, and 3.125 µg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, molecular docking studies of these compounds against S. aureus tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase (PDB ID: 1JIJ), S. aureus Gyrase (PDB ID: 2XCT), and SARS-CoV-2 Omicron (PDB ID: 7TOB), revealed the potential binding mode of the ligands to the site of the appropriate targets. Finally, drug-likeness and structure-activity relationship studies were also disclosed.

description: All-pay auctions, a common mechanism for various human and agent interactions, suffers, like many other mechanisms, from the possibility of players' failure to participate in the auction. We model such failures, and fully characterize equilibrium for this class of games, we present a symmetric equilibrium and show that under some conditions the equilibrium is unique. We reveal various properties of the equilibrium, such as the lack of influence of the most-likely-to-participate player on the behavior of the other players. We perform this analysis with two scenarios: the sum-profit model, where the auctioneer obtains the sum of all submitted bids, and the max-profit model of crowdsourcing contests, where the auctioneer can only use the best submissions and thus obtains only the winning bid. Furthermore, we examine various methods of influencing the probability of participation such as the effects of misreporting one's own probability of participating, and how influencing another player's participation chances changes the player's strategy.
A search for water maser emission from brown dwarfs and low-luminosity young stellar objects

description: We present a survey for water maser emission toward a sample of 44 low-luminosity young objects, comprising (proto-)brown dwarfs, first hydrostatic cores (FHCs), and other young stellar objects (YSOs) with bolometric luminosities lower than 0.4 L$_\odot$. Water maser emission is a good tracer of energetic processes, such as mass-loss and/or accretion, and is a useful tool to study this processes with very high angular resolution. This type of emission has been confirmed in objects with L$_{\rm bol}\ge 1$ L$_\odot$. Objects with lower luminosities also undergo mass-loss and accretion, and thus, are prospective sites of maser emission. Our sensitive single-dish observations provided a single detection when pointing toward the FHC L1448 IRS 2E. However, follow-up interferometric observations showed water maser emission associated with the nearby YSO L1448 IRS 2 { (a Class 0 protostar of L$_{\rm bol}\simeq 3.6-5.3$ L$_\odot$)}, and did not find any emission toward L1448 IRS 2E. The upper limits for water maser emission determined by our observations are one order of magnitude lower than expected from the correlation between water maser luminosities and bolometric luminosities found for YSOs. This suggests that this correlation does not hold at the lower end of the (sub)stellar mass spectrum. Possible reasons are that the slope of this correlation is steeper at L$_{\rm bol}\le 1$ L$_\odot$, or that there is an absolute luminosity threshold below which water maser emission cannot be produced. Alternatively, if the correlation still stands at low luminosity, the detection rates of masers would be significantly lower than the values obtained in higher-luminosity Class 0 protostars.

description: This study reveals that the synthesis of a novel heterogeneous gaur gum-supported DABCO functionalized nickel(II)catalyst and its application for the synthesis of 2-amino-3-cyano-7-hydroxy-4H-chromenes. The synthesized GG@Ni(II) catalyst was characterized by FT-IR, XRD, EDX, and SEM techniques. The catalytic activities of this synthesized heterogeneous catalyst were examined in one-pot multicomponent synthesis of chromene derivatives under ultrasonic condition. A simple, benign and highly efficient ultrasound-mediated route was designed to produce chromene derivatives via one-pot, multicomponent reaction of aldehyde, malononitrile, and resorcinol at room temperature. The ultrasound-mediated synthetic route was studied here exhibits some remarkable advantages such as short reaction times, green reaction conditions, operational simplicity, high yields, and easy work-up and purification steps. In addition to this interestingly found that there was unnoticeable loss of reactivity when the catalyst was quantitatively recovered from the reaction medium and recycled up to five times.
Transport coefficients for relativistic gas mixtures of hard-sphere particles

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: In the present work, we calculate the transport coefficients for a relativistic binary mixture of diluted gases of hard-sphere particles. The gas mixture under consideration is studied within the relativistic Boltzmann equation in the presence of a gravitational field described by the isotropic Schwarzschild metric. We obtain the linear constitutive equations for the thermodynamic fluxes. The driving forces for the fluxes of particles and heat will appear with terms proportional to the gradient of gravitational potential. We discuss the consequences of the gravitational dependence on the driving forces. We obtain general integral expressions for the transport coefficients and evaluate them by assuming a hard-sphere interaction amongst the particles when they collide and not very disparate masses and diameters of the particles of each species. The obtained results are expressed in terms of their temperature dependence through the relativistic parameter which gives the ratio of the rest energy of the particles and the thermal energy of the gas mixture. Plots are given to analyze the behavior of the transport coefficients with respect to the temperature when small variations in masses and diameters of the particles of the species are present. We also analyze for each coefficient the corresponding limits to a single gas so the non-relativistic and ultra-relativistic limiting cases are recovered as well. Furthermore, we show that the transport coefficients have a dependence on the gravitational field.

description: We offer some elementary characterisations of group and round quadratic forms. These characterisations are applied to establish new (and recover existing) characterisations of Pfister forms. We establish "going-up" results for group and anisotropic round forms with respect to iterated Laurent series fields, which contrast with the established results with respect to rational function field extensions. For forms of two-power dimension, we determine when there exists a field extension over which the form becomes an anisotropic group form that is not round.

Hospitality and household: Bishop Metford's household accounts October 1406-June 1407

description: To date very little work of a quantitative nature has been devoted to hospitality in the Middle Ages. Statements and assumptions have been made as to the level and quality of hospitality, but they have seldom been supported by hard data. The recent publication of the household accounts of the bishop of Salisbury for October 1406 to June 1407 provides a rare opportunity to determine not only the quantity of material goods and services involved in the provision of hospitality in the context of a late medieval household, but also the proportion of household expenditure and annual income devoted to the fulfilment of that obligation. Bishop Metford's household accounts relate to the episcopal manors of Woodford and Potterne in Wiltshire, both some distance from Salisbury itself, where the dean and chapter held sway in the cathedral. Despite this apparent isolation in the countryside, which was not uncommon with bishops of secular cathedrals, the accounts reveal an extraordinarily active programme of hospitality. By analysing the data using EXCEL 2000, this study shows that about fifty percent of annual income was expended on maintaining the bishop's household and twenty percent of that - or ten percent of annual income - was spent on hospitality.

description: There is generally no obvious evidence in any direct relation between photon blockade and atomic coherence. Here instead of only illustrating the photon statistics, we show an interesting relation between the steady-state photon blockade and the atomic coherence by designing a weakly driven cavity QED system with a two-level atom trapped. It is shown for the first time that the maximal atomic coherence has a perfect correspondence with the optimal photon blockade. The negative effects of the strong dissipations on photon statistics, atomic coherence and their correspondence are also addressed. The numerical simulation is also given to support all of our results.

description: An efficient, facile, and catalyst-free one-pot multicomponent green strategy under neat or aqueous conditions has been developed to synthesize a series of spiro compounds that contain two biologically active pharmacophores, benzochromenes/thio-chromenes and indan-1,3-dione, in a single molecular framework. The desired Spiroindene-1,3dione-benzochromene/thio-chromene derivatives were yielded through a one-pot, three-component reaction between ninhydrin, substituted 1,3-dicarbonyls, and 2-naphthol/2-naphthalene thiol via the Knoevenagel–Michael cascade. The advances of this strategy include high product yields (94–82%), the formation of a new asymmetric center, cost-effectiveness, atom economy, and a straightforward workup procedure that does not require any additional purification steps.
It's plebiscite or nothing: cultural and symbolic strategies of the religious right in Australia’s same-sex marriage debate
Creators: name: Comensoli, Daniel J.

description: In 2004, the Howard Government amended the Marriage Act 1961 to explicitly state that “marriage was the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others…” in order to ban same-sex marriages being performed in Australia and overseas same-sex marriages being officially recognised under Australian law. With reputable polls consistently showing a majority of voters supporting same-sex marriage since 2007, the issue has come to dominate much of Australian public and political discourse in recent years. Despite this, same-sex marriage is still illegal in Australia with a number of failed attempts to legislate it at the federal level. However, capitalising on renewed momentum following the successful Irish constitutional referendum on 22 May 2015 and the US Supreme Court’s historic ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges on 26 June 2015, a cross party bill to legalise same-sex marriage was introduced to the federal Parliament in early August 2015. In response, the then Prime Minister Tony Abbott called for a special joint party room meeting of the Liberal and National parties, with 66 MPs voting against a conscience vote being held on same-sex marriage legislation and 33 voting for a conscience vote. Following the meeting, Mr Abbott announced his strong disposition to hold a national vote on the issue after the 2016 federal election, in the form of a compulsory plebiscite. Considering the unprecedented nature o holding national plebiscites in Australia, and the Coalition historically affording its members a conscience vote on issues surrounding marriage and family relationships, an examination of the religious right’s social and political lobbying power in shaping the policy agenda on this issue is warranted. Thus, through utilising the theoretical framework of agenda denial, it is the purpose of this thesis to critically analyse the religious right’s cultural and symbolic strategies of choice and their overall effectiveness in denying proponents of same-sex marriage access to the overall policy agenda. A detailed thematic and framing analysis of content including speeches, interviews, press releases, social media posts and parliamentary submissions was conducted from when a plebiscite was first postulated by the then Prime Minister Tony Abbott on 12 August 2015 up until the defeat of the Plebiscite (Same-Sex Marriage) Bill 2016 in the Senate on 7 November 2016. Whilst considering Australia’s increasing political engagement marked by secular traditions, falling church attendance and overall religious affiliation, it will be argued that the Christian right enjoyed disproportionate power and influence in successfully delaying and preventing the implementation of same-sex marriage in Australia. This research is critical in contributing to the limited scholarly research regarding the religious right’s influence on LGBTI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex) policy outcomes.

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The benzophenone (BP) structure, with its unique biaryl twist, has been shown to be an important bioactive functionality and prevalent motif in natural products. In this work, the synthesis and characterization of new fluorinated BP synthons are reported. These new BP fragments may provide additional specificity in protein-ligand binding, due to new interactions that could come from the fluorine substituents in protein pockets. One monofluorinated BP fragment was accessed in 13 steps with an overall yield of 11% employing key reactions such as lithium halogen exchange, intramolecular anionic Fries rearrangement, and chemoselective oxidations. The second, difluorinated BP fragment was brought to the pre-oxidation stage. Current results demonstrate that the intramolecular Fries rearrangement is feasible for accessing mono- and difluorinated scaffolds. These fluorinated BP fragments will in future be incorporated into the natural product (-)-balanol framework for probing the isozyme selective inhibition within the AGC superfamily of kinases.

description: Models of epidemic spreading on complex networks have attracted great attention among researchers in physics, mathematics, and epidemiology due to their success in predicting and controlling scenarios of epidemic spreading in real-world scenarios. To understand the interplay between epidemic spreading and the topology of a contact network, several outstanding theoretical approaches have been developed. An accurate theoretical approach describing the spreading dynamics must take both the network topology and dynamical correlations into consideration at the expense of increasing the complexity of the equations. In this short survey we unify the most widely used theoretical approaches for epidemic spreading on complex networks in terms of increasing complexity, including the mean-field, the heterogeneous mean-field, the quench mean-field, dynamical message-passing, link percolation, and pairwise approximation. We build connections among these approaches to provide new insights into developing an accurate theoretical approach to spreading dynamics on complex networks.

description: Characterizing the UV spectral energy distribution (SED) of an exoplanet host star is critically important for assessing its planet's potential habitability, particularly for M dwarfs as they are prime targets for current and near-term exoplanet characterization efforts and atmospheric models predict that their UV radiation can produce photochemistry on habitable zone planets different than on Earth. To derive ground-based proxies for UV emission for use when Hubble Space Telescope observations are unavailable, we have assembled a sample of fifteen early-to-mid M dwarfs observed by Hubble, and compared their non-simultaneous UV and optical spectra. We find that the equivalent width of the chromospheric Ca II K line at 3933 Angstroms, when corrected for spectral type, can be used to estimate the stellar surface flux in ultraviolet emission lines, including H I Lyman alpha. In addition, we address another potential driver of habitability: energetic particle fluxes associated with flares. We present a new technique for estimating soft X-ray and >10 MeV proton flux during far-UV emission line flares (Si IV and He II) by assuming solar-like energy partitions. We analyze several flares from the M4 dwarf GJ 876 observed with Hubble and Chandra as part of the MUSCLES Treasury Survey and find that habitable zone planets orbiting GJ 876 are impacted by large Carrington-like flares with peak soft X-ray fluxes >1e-3 W m-2 and possible proton fluxes ~100-1000 pfu, approximately four orders of magnitude more frequently than modern-day Earth.

Cosmetic surgery: Curating race and romance in Cali, Colombia

Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: As access to cosmetic surgery expands beyond the lifeworlds of the rich and famous, it becomes increasingly sought out by everyday people across cultural contexts. Its popularity in the cultural and historical setting of Cali, Colombia sees cosmetic surgery emerging as a conventional form of beauty work. In Cali, many perceive beauty to be a currency and indeed a virtue, denoting values of modernity, racial prejudice, and competition in romantic markets. While men are increasingly seeking out these surgeries, cosmetic surgery remains predominantly within the purview of the city's women. As such, the dominant feminine beauty ideal is normalised, and admired. It is cultivated by means of various forms of beauty work, and ultimately through cosmetic surgical intervention. During two months of research in Cali, ethnographic research methods were used for an anthropological exploration into the underlying historical, gendered and socioeconomic issues informing Cali's dominant beauty ideal and the value of beauty in this city, which influences and reproduces women's conceptions of their bodies, and relationships. The research reveals how, and the extent to which, historical colonial and drug trafficking legacies impact contemporary constructions and expressions of beauty in Cali, and the ubiquitous practice of cosmetic surgery. I explore how beauty is imbued with values of "modernity", which are intertwined with racial stigma and neoliberal subjectivity. Further, within a traditionally machista (chauvinist) society, the operated-on body is perceived to be a source of leverage and power in romantic relationships for women.

Several possible structures for stoichiometric KPentacene (1:1), K2Pentacene (2:1) and K3Pentacene (3:1) compounds are theoretically investigated. Detailed densities of states for all of them are presented. As a more prominent result, a new monoclinic structure has been stabilized for the potassium richer material that could correspond to the recently synthesized superconducting phase of K3Pentacene. Although energetically unfavorable, it is the only metallic candidate found to date.

description: The phase diagram (pressure versus temperature) of the pure fluid is typically envisioned as being featureless apart from the presence of the liquid-vapor coexistence curve terminating at the critical point. However, a number of recent authors have proposed that this simple picture misses important features, such as the Widom line, the Fisher-Widom line, and the Frenkel line. In our paper we discuss another way of augmenting the pure fluid phase diagram, lines of zero thermodynamic curvature $R=0$ separating regimes of fluid solid-like behavior ($R>0$) from gas-like or liquid-like behavior ($R<0$). We systematically evaluate $R$ for the $121$ pure fluids in the NIST/REFPROP (version 9.1) fluid database near the saturated vapor line from the triple point to the critical point. Our specific goal was to identify regions of positive $R$ abutting the saturated vapor line ("feature D"). We found: a) $97/121$ of the NIST/REFPROP fluids have feature D. b) The presence and character of feature D correlates with molecular complexity, taken to be the number of atoms $Q$ per molecule. c) The solid-like properties of feature D might be attributable to a mesoscopic model based on correlations among coordinated spinning molecules, a model that might be testable with computer simulations. d) There are a number of correlations between thermodynamic quantities, including the acentric factor $ω$, but we found little explicit correlation between $ω$ and the shape of a molecule. e) Feature D seriously constrains the size of the asymptotic fluid critical point regime, possibly resolving a long-standing mystery about why these are so small. f) Feature D correlates roughly with regimes of anomalous sound propagation.

Photovoltaic power forecasting using sky images and sun motion
Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2024

description: Solar energy adoption is moving at a rapid pace. The variability in solar energy production causes grid stability issues and hinders mass adoption. To solve these issues, more accurate photovoltaic power forecasting systems are needed. In intra-hour forecasting, the most challenging issue is high output fluctuations due to cloud motion, which can occlude the sun. Using ground-based sky images, this paper proposes two convolutional neural network models for intra-hour nowcasting and forecasting that incorporate physical information on sun motion and cloud coverage by means of the sun area mean pixel intensity. Particularly, our models exploit that information instead of relying exclusively on photovoltaic output history data as it is standard in state of the art. Taking advantage of sun position and cloud coverage information, we were able to reduce the overall root mean squared error for the nowcasting task, making the model more accurate especially during cloudy days, and obtaining competitive results on forecasting. Moreover, our models are more robust against artifacts such as occlusion and noisy observations.

Time to adopt knowledge management applications: influences that affect individual decisions within a large information technology services organisation
Creators: name: Binney, Derek James
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: There is growing consensus in business research and practice that knowledge is increasingly the driver of competitive advantage. This thesis focuses on one aspect of the issue by identifying factors that affect the adoption of Knowledge Management (KM) applications by individuals in an IT Services organisation. The study considers the adoption decision by individuals once senior management have decided to invest in IT enabled KM applications (KMA) and KM systems (KMS). -- In the thesis, a framework, the KM Spectrum, is developed that differentiates between the varying characteristics of KMAs and frames the research. The thesis identifies 32 potential success factors for KM adoption proposed in the reviewed literature. These factors are related to the disciplines of organisational science, diffusion theory and adoption models. -- The methods used in the research: secondary data study, interviews and the electronic survey, combined with the representativeness of the survey sample, triangulate to provide confidence in the empirical understanding of the factors that influenced the adoption of KM within the specific knowledge-based organisation. -- In developing the theoretically-informed view of the factors that affect individual adoption of KMAs the research concludes that studying KM adoption at an individual level and across multiple KMAs identifies influences on adoption masked by adoption research conducted at a KM system and/or organisational level. By studying KM adoption at an individual level this thesis finds that the adoption by individuals of KMAs is primarily a diffusion phenomenon and that the factors that influence KMA adoption vary with the type of KMA being adopted. The empirically identified factors that affect adoption at an individual level build to a staged model of KM adoption, called the enhanced KM adoption (EKMA) model. The EKMA model represents four phases of KM adoption and differential influences that apply across the adoption lifecycle. Additionally, the study provides some indications of further research topics and proposes a checklist to assist practitioners with the deployment of KMAs and KM systems.

description: Clinical History: A 43-year-old female presented to the Emergency Department complaining of a sudden painful unilateral cervical swelling. She had no record of prior injuries or surgical procedures. On physical examination, a soft, non-pulsatile mass was observed in the left supraclavicular region, at the lateral border of the lower part of the left sternocleidomastoid muscle (Figures 7a and 7b), slightly enlarging when performing the Valsalva manoeuvre. There were no signs of inflammation. No other palpable masses were detected in the rest of the neck. She underwent a contrast-enhanced CT scan of the neck and thorax. Subsequently, the patient underwent further investigation with angio-CT and MRI of the neck.

description: We have studied the electronic properties of epitaxial graphene devices patterned in a meander shape with the length up to a few centimeters and the width of few tens of microns. These samples show a pronounced dependence of the resistance on temperature. Accurate comparison with theory shows that this temperature dependence originates from the weak localization effect observed over a broad temperature range from 1.5 K up to 77 K. The comparison allows us to estimate the characteristic times related to quantum interference. In addition, a large resistance enhancement with temperature is observed at the quantum Hall regime near the filling factor of 2. Record high resistance and its strong temperature dependence are favorable for the construction of bolometric photodetectors.

description: In contrast to the usual quantum systems which have at most a finite number of open spectral gaps if they are periodic in more than one direction, periodic quantum graphs may have gaps arbitrarily high in the spectrum. This property of graph Hamiltonians, being generic in a sense, inspires the question about the existence of graphs with a finite and nonzero number of spectral gaps. We show that the answer depends on the vertex couplings together with commensurability of the graph edges. A finite and nonzero number of gaps is excluded for graphs with scale invariant couplings; on the other hand, we demonstrate that graphs featuring a finite nonzero number of gaps do exist, illustrating the claim on the example of a rectangular lattice with a suitably tuned $δ$-coupling at the vertices.

Multiple universalities in order-disorder magnetic phase transitions

description: Phase transitions in isotropic quantum antiferromagnets are associated with the condensation of bosonic triplet excitations. In three dimensional quantum antiferromagnets, such as TlCuCl$_3$, condensation can be either pressure or magnetic field induced. The corresponding magnetic order obeys universal scaling with thermal critical exponent $ϕ$. Employing a relativistic quantum field theory, the present work predicts the emergence of multiple (three) universalities under combined pressure and field tuning. Changes of universality are signalled by changes of the critical exponent $ϕ$. Explicitly, we predict the existence of two new exponents $ϕ=1$ and $1/2$ as well as recovering the known exponent $ϕ=3/2$. We also predict logarithmic corrections to the power law scaling.
