description: The long-term success of extension services is dependent upon addressing the underlying causes of gender inequality. However, gender analysis is often not included in the design and implementation of extension ser- vices. Our aim with this review is to highlight the importance of gender integration into agricultural extension programs in various parts of the world, to raise much needed awareness on the subject. We do not aim for an extensive literature review but rather seek to identify the harms caused by the exclusion of gender, make suggestions for how scholars and practitioners might include gender, and indicate some ways to move forward. Ultimately, gender transformative approaches should be pursued in the future as strategies that focus on the causes of inequality, rather than the symptoms.
How brains are built: Principles of computational neuroscience

description: 'If I cannot build it, I do not understand it.' So said Nobel laureate Richard Feynman, and by his metric, we understand a bit about physics, less about chemistry, and almost nothing about biology. When we fully understand a phenomenon, we can specify its entire sequence of events, causes, and effects so completely that it is possible to fully simulate it, with all its internal mechanisms intact. Achieving that level of understanding is rare. It is commensurate with constructing a full design for a machine that could serve as a stand-in for the thing being studied. To understand a phenomenon sufficiently to fully simulate it is to understand it computationally. 'Computation' does not refer to computers per se. Rather, it refers to the underlying principles and methods that make them work. As Turing Award recipient Edsger Dijkstra said, computational science 'is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.' Computational science is the study of the hidden rules underlying complex phenomena from physics to psychology. Computational neuroscience, then, has the aim of understanding brains sufficiently well to be able to simulate their functions, thereby subsuming the twin goals of science and engineering: deeply understanding the inner workings of our brains, and being able to construct simulacra of them. As simple robots today substitute for human physical abilities, in settings from factories to hospitals, so brain engineering will construct stand-ins for our mental abilities, and possibly even enable us to fix our brains when they break.

description: We explicitly construct fractals of dimension 4-epsilon on which dimensional regularization approximates scalar-field-only quantum-field-theory amplitudes. The construction does not require fractals to be Lorentz-invariant in any sense, and we argue that there probably is no Lorentz-invariant fractal of dimension greater than 2. We derive dimensional regularization's power-law screening first for fractals obtained by removing voids from 3-dimensional Euclidean space. The derivation applies techniques from elementary dielectric theory. Surprisingly, fractal geometry by itself does not guarantee the appropriate power-law behavior; boundary conditions at fractal voids also play an important role. We then extend the derivation to 4-dimensional Minkowski space. We comment on generalization to nonscalar fields, and speculate about implications for quantum gravity.

The A.R.I.D. hypothesis - a river in 'drought': environmental and cultural ramifications of Old Kingdom climate change
Creators: name: Burn, John William
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: During the latter half of the Old Kingdom, Egypt experienced a noticeable decline in the amount of water being delivered by the River Nile. This thesis contends that the way the society responded to this change can be inferred from the tombs' decorations produced during the timeframe in question. Without a regular inundation, nutrients normally lost to the river remained within it. These nutrients changed the ecological balance affecting the local environment. Since less water and less nutrients were available for the land, there was a decline in cultivation, and the development of garden and orchards ceased. Plant life within the river increased, taking advantage of the excess nutrient supply. Fish numbers and varieties increased with new fishing techniques and technologies appearing as tomb decorations. Depictions of water birds increased, presumably as a result of an increasing reliance upon fowl in the daily diet. Cattle depictions also increased as cattle were able to take advantage of the flourishing plants on the riverbanks. Finally, as the ecotone (the boundary between ecosystems) diminished, desert animals ventured closer to the river, integrating themselves with the cattle populations and becoming an increasing part of the animal procession scenes. In conclusion, contrasting to the currently accepted viewpoint of the First Intermediate Period as a time of relapse and retrogression, the artistic narrative produced suggests a responsive, robust and resilient society -- abstract.

description: The resonant process of electron-positron pairproduction by an electron in a subcritical magnetic field has been studied when the pair is produced to exited Landau levels. The spin dependency of the process rate has been analyzed. In the spin state with the greatest rate the virtual photon is emitted with a flip of electron spin. This behavior is not suppressed for radiative transitions from a relativistic initial state to low energy levels.

description: Due to the lack of two-dimensional silicon-based semiconductors and the fact that most of the components and devices are generated on single-crystal silicon or silicon-based substrates in modern industry, designing two-dimensional silicon-based semiconductors is highly desired. With the combination of a swarm structure search method and density functional theory in this work, a quaternary compound SiBCN with graphene-like structure is found and displays a wide direct band gap as expected. The band gap is of ~2.63 eV which is just between ~2.20 and ~3.39 eV of the highlighted semiconductors SiC and GaN. Notably, the further calculation reveals that SiBCN possesses high carrier mobility with ~5.14x10^3 and ~13.07x10^3 cm^2V^-1s^-1 for electron and hole, respectively. Furthermore, the ab initio molecular dynamics simulations also show that the graphene-like structure of SiBCN can be well kept even at an extremely high temperature of 2000 K. The present work tells that designing ulticomponent silicides may be a practicable way to search for new silicon-based low-dimensional semiconductors which can match well with the previous Si-based substrates.
Online Reinforcement Learning for Real-Time Exploration in Continuous State and Action Markov Decision Processes

description: This paper presents a new method to learn online policies in continuous state, continuous action, model-free Markov decision processes, with two properties that are crucial for practical applications. First, the policies are implementable with a very low computational cost: once the policy is computed, the action corresponding to a given state is obtained in logarithmic time with respect to the number of samples used. Second, our method is versatile: it does not rely on any a priori knowledge of the structure of optimal policies. We build upon the Fitted Q-iteration algorithm which represents the $Q$-value as the average of several regression trees. Our algorithm, the Fitted Policy Forest algorithm (FPF), computes a regression forest representing the Q-value and transforms it into a single tree representing the policy, while keeping control on the size of the policy using resampling and leaf merging. We introduce an adaptation of Multi-Resolution Exploration (MRE) which is particularly suited to FPF. We assess the performance of FPF on three classical benchmarks for reinforcement learning: the "Inverted Pendulum", the "Double Integrator" and "Car on the Hill" and show that FPF equals or outperforms other algorithms, although these algorithms rely on the use of particular representations of the policies, especially chosen in order to fit each of the three problems. Finally, we exhibit that the combination of FPF and MRE allows to find nearly optimal solutions in problems where $ε$-greedy approaches would fail.

description: IC 630 is a nearby early-type galaxy with a mass of $6 \times 10^{10} M_{\odot}$ with an intense burst of recent (6 Myr) star formation. It shows strong nebular emission lines, with radio and X-ray emission, which classifies it as an AGN. With VLT-SINFONI and Gemini North-NIFS adaptive optics observations (plus supplementary ANU 2.3m WiFeS optical IFU observations), the excitation diagnostics of the nebular emission species show no sign of standard AGN engine excitation; the stellar velocity dispersion also indicate that a super-massive black hole (if one is present) is small ($M_{\bullet} = 2.25 \times 10^{5}~M_{\odot}$). The luminosity at all wavelengths is consistent with star formation at a rate of about $1-2 M_{\odot}$/yr. We measure gas outflows driven by star formation at a rate of $0.18 M_{\odot}$/yr in a face-on truncated cone geometry. We also observe a nuclear cluster or disk and other clusters. Photo-ionization from young, hot stars is the main excitation mechanism for [Fe II] and hydrogen, whereas shocks are responsible for the H$_2$ excitation. Our observations are broadly comparable with simulations where a Toomre-unstable, self-gravitating gas disk triggers a burst of star formation, peaking after about 30 Myr and possibly cycling with a period of about 200 Myr.

description: 1. The acrotelm-catotelm model of peatland hydrological and biogeochemical processes posits that the permeability of raised bogs is largely homogenous laterally but varies strongly with depth through the soil profile; uppermost peat layers are highly permeable while deeper layers are, effectively, impermeable. 2. We measured down-core changes in peat permeability, plant macrofossil assemblages, dry bulk density and degree of humification beneath two types of characteristic peatland microform – ridges and hollows – at a raised bog in Wales. Six 14C dates were also collected for one hollow and an adjacent ridge. 3. Contrary to the acrotelm-catotelm model, we found that deeper peat can be as highly permeable as near-surface peat and that its permeability can vary by more than an order of magnitude between microforms over horizontal distances of 1-5 metres. 4. Our palaeo-ecological data paint a complicated picture of microform persistence. Some microforms can remain in the same position on a bog for millennia, growing vertically upwards as the bog grows. However, adjacent areas on the bog (< 10 m distant) show switches between microform type over time, indicating a lack of persistence. 5. Synthesis. We suggest that the acrotelm-catotelm model should be used cautiously; spatial variations in peatland permeability do not fit the simple patterns suggested by the model. To understand how peatlands as a whole function both hydrologically and ecologically it is necessary to understand how patterns of peat physical properties and peatland vegetation develop and persist.

description: The low activation energy associated with amorphous chalcogenide structures offers broad tunability of material properties with laser-based or thermal processing. In this paper, we study near-bandgap laser induced anisotropic crystallization in solution processed arsenic sulfide. The modified electronic bandtail states associated with laser irritation lead to a distinctive photoluminescence spectrum, compared to thermally annealed amorphous glass. Laser crystalized materials exhibit a periodic subwavelength ripples structure in transmission electron microscopy experiments and show polarization dependent photoluminescence. Analysis of the local atomic structure of these materials using laboratory-based X-ray pair distribution function analysis indicates that laser irradiation causes a slight rearrangement at the atomic length scale, with a small percentage of S-S homopolar bonds converting to As-S heteropolar bonds. These results highlight fundamental differences between laser and thermal processing in this important class of materials.

description: The process of electron-positron pair production by a photon with subsequent annihilation to a single photon in a strong magnetic field has been studied. The general amplitude has been calculated and the process rate have been found in the low Landau levels approximation (resonant and nonresonant cases). The comparison of resonant and nonresonant cases shows a significant excess of the resonant rate. The polarization of the final photon in a strong magnetic field has also been found. It has been shown that polarizations of the initial and the final photons are independent except for the case of normal linear polarization of the initial photon.

description: The density of states of a three dimensional Dirac equation with a random potential as well as in other problems of quantum motion in a random potential placed in sufficiently high spatial dimensionality appears to be singular at a certain critical disorder strength. This was seen numerically in a variety of studies as well as supported by detailed renormalization group calculations. At the same time it was suggested by a number of arguments accompanied by detailed numerical simulations that this singularity is rounded off by the rare region fluctuations of random potential, and that tuning the disorder past its critical value is not a genuine phase transition but rather a crossover. Here we develop an analytic theory which explains how rare region effects indeed lead to rounding off of the singularity and to the crossover replacing the transition.

Modeling, verification and change management of Service-based Business Processes

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) paradigm and web service technologies are essential enablers for organizations to cooperate or collaborate with each other. The business processes of such organizations are referred to as service-based business processes (SBP). To manage SBPs in their dynamic context, it is vital that the complex dependencies among the internal business process and the exposed external services are correctly analyzed and modeled.This work provides solutions for the challenging issues of modeling, verification, and change management of SBPs. Different from existing approaches in the research areas of business process management and service management, this Ph.D. research emphasizes the dependencies not only between the internal business process and involved services of an SBP but also between/among their components (e.g., activities, data, and operations). Due to the dependencies between/among the activities and data elements of the internal business process of an SBP, there could be complex control flow and data flow structures which make the SBP modeling and verification challenging. Due to the dependencies between the internal business process and services involved in an SBP, changes may propagate between them in a cascading manner which makes the change management of SBPs challenging. To deal with this issue, it is necessary to develop a formal model for modeling SBPs at first. Then the correctness properties of SBP should be identified, and corresponding verification methods should be proposed.Finally, for handling changes in SBPs, the change types should be identified, and the change propagation must be under control. A Petri net based model is proposed for modeling SBPs. Based on the SBP model, a set of correctness properties of SBP are identified, and the verification methods are developed accordingly. A collection of SBP change patterns are identified and classified for translating and implementing changes. With the help of the SBP model, correctness verification, andthe change patterns, a change management framework is proposed for managing changes, in particular, the change propagation in SBPs.

Female engagement in domains of social power in Ancient Egypt's Dynasties 1-6: an interdisciplinary approach to women's titles
Creators: name: Kelly, Susan Anne
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Despite an exponential increase in women and gender studies in Egyptology over the last three decades, women's engagement in the socio-political-economic structure of the early Egyptian state remains underrepresented in modern scholarship. Historically, the State has often been investigated via hierarchical models of the male elite's autobiographical material, with prominence given to the study of official titles that act as barometers for the status and rank of the personnel. The dominant focus on male-centric state administration service has ignored women's participation in the State. This bias has resulted in an inadequate representation of women in both research and academic literature. The present research aims to address this imbalance by investigating records of female engagement in the early Egyptian state. This analysis was conducted on biographical details obtained primarily from women's titles from a cross-section of the society, from Dynasty 1 to 6 (c. 3000-2181 BCE). Using an interdisciplinary research methodology that combines textual evaluation and statistical analyses of 777 women's inscriptions, this dissertation engages with sociological theory to provide new interpretative models. The textual evaluation involved here deviates from a traditional title study in that female serekhs, cartouche and 129 titles are utilised to gauge the extent of women's engagement and social power in the State. Underpinning this theoretical approach is a refashioning of Michael Mann's theory of social power that defines resources as the medium through which power is exercised. In this research, social power is considered as the varying degrees of influence, prestige, rights and authority that is obtained through individual action and access to or control over symbolic, economic or productive resources of the State. Thus, by examining and classifying the women's titles based on the action and central area of responsibility, this study evaluates the different ways in which women had access to social power in the political, economic and ideological domains in early Egypt. The dissertation offers new perspectives and models validated by quantifiable data that demonstrates to want extent women had varying degrees of social power in the ancient Egyptian state. The current research also contributes an unparalleled database of 1400 women's details from the first six dynasties that can be utilised in future historiographic, comparative and gender studies to augment our knowledge about the early Egyptian state -- abstract.

description: Abstract
 This issue navigates the intersections of Black and Indigenous ecologies. Colonial epistemologies still marginalize Black and Indigenous peoples in discussions about ecologies: they neglect Black and Indigenous peoples’ disproportionate environmental dispossession and the effects of environmental racism while “naturalizing” Black and Indigenous peoples as closer to the natural environment. The contributions to this issue draw on convergences between environmental inequality, sonic ecologies, and the legacies of colonialism to shape ongoing conversations. The issue traces historical as well as contemporary relationships and attends to the linkages and disruptions at work in Black and Indigenous ecologies, especially in the midst of climate change, which continues to affect those who are least responsible for the planet’s degradation. The articles in this issue make visible entwined histories in Black and Indigenous ecologies, as well as histories of oppression, that may trouble territorial boundaries and expand relationalities.

description: Deformed and spherical even-even nuclei are studied using a finite range simple effective interaction within the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov mean field approach. Different parameter sets of the interaction, corresponding to different incompressibility, are constructed by varying the exponent gamma of the density in the traditional density-dependent term. Ten of the twelve parameters of these interactions are determined from properties of asymmetric nuclear matter and spin polarized pure neutron matter. The two remaining parameters are fitted to reproduce the experimental binding energies known in 620 even-even nuclei using several variants of the rotational energy correction. The rms deviations for the binding energy depend on the value of gamma and the way the rotational energy correction is treated but they can be as low as 1.56 MeV, a value competitive with other renowned effective interactions of Skyrme and Gogny type. Charge radii are compared to the experimental values of 313 even-even nuclei and the rms deviation is again comparable and even superior to the one of popular Skyrme and Gogny forces. Emphasis is given to the deformation properties predicted with these interactions by analyzing the Potential Energy Surfaces for several well deformed nuclei and the fission barriers of some nuclei. Comparison of the results with the experimental information, where available, as well as with the results of the Gogny D1S force shows satisfactory agreement.

description: Machine Learning (ML) techniques are used by most data-driven organisations to extract insights. In addition, Machine-learning-as-a-service (MLaaS), where models are trained on potentially sensitive user data and then queried by external parties are becoming a reality. However, recently, these systems have been shown to be vulnerable to Membership Inference Attacks (MIA), where a target's data can be inferred to belong or not to the training data. While the key factors for the success of MIA have not been fully understood, existing defences mechanisms only consider the model-specific properties. In this thesis, we investigate the impact of both the data and ML model properties on the vulnerability of ML techniques to MIA. Our analysis indicates a strong relationship between the MIA success with the properties of the data in use, such as the data size and balance between the classes as well as with the model properties including the fairness in prediction and the mutual information between the data and the model's parameters. We provide recommendations on assessing the possible information leakage from a given dataset and propose new approaches to protect ML models from MIA by using several properties, e.g. the model's fairness and mutual information between data and the model's parameters as regularizers, which reduces the attack accuracy by 25% yielding a fairer and a better performing ML model.

description: One of the main cost factors in software development is the detection and removal of defects. However, the relationships and influencing factors of the costs and revenues of defect-detection techniques are still not well understood. This paper proposes an analytical, stochastic model of the economics of defect detection and removal to improve this understanding. The model is able to incorporate dynamic as well as static techniques in contrast to most other models of that kind. We especially analyse the model with state-ofthe-art sensitivity analysis methods to (1) identify the most relevant factors for model simplification and (2) prioritise the factors to guide further research and measurements.

description: This thesis studies the history of the National Associations of Canadians of Origins in India (NACOI) and its role in helping to shape and impact federal policy relating to immigration reform and multicultural policy in Canada. Ethnic political associations in Canada have a long and extensive history of impacting federal policy. However, the role of NACOI has been underreported when looking into the history of South Asian political advocacy in Canada. The institutionalization of multicultural policy created a framework for ethnic associations to discuss issues that mattered to them. NACOI’s establishment in 1976, five years after multiculturalism became government policy, allowed it to take the helm of these new discussions. Furthermore, NACOI is significant because it represents one of the first attempts to create an organization that aimed to federate all South Asian groups under one umbrella with a solely political goal. This thesis aims to understand whether NACOI was successful in its endeavours to impact federal policy as well as which struggles led to the decline of the organization. Alongside these questions, this thesis also seeks to explore whether NACOI aided in the integration of East Indians in Canada by the mid-1970s to the early 1990s through their efforts as a political advocacy group. Using NACOI’s quarterly publications, published material produced by the group, internal reports, and interviews with some of the founding members of the organization, this thesis also attempts to provide a micro-history of the organization by detailing its formation, growth and eventual dissolution by the early 1990s.

description: Phosphine (PH3) is a toxidrome-spanning chemical that is widely used as an insecticide and rodenticide. Exposure to PH3 causes a host of target organ and systemic effects, including oxidative stress, cardiopulmonary toxicity, seizure-like activity and overall metabolic disturbance. A custom dynamic inhalation gas exposure system was designed for the whole-body exposure of conscious male Sprague-Dawley rats (250–350 g) to PH3. An integrated plethysmography system was used to collect respiratory parameters in real-time before, during and after PH3 exposure. At several time points post-exposure, rats were euthanized, and various organs were removed and analyzed to assess organ and systemic effects. The 24 h post-exposure LCt50, determined by probit analysis, was 23,270 ppm × min (32,345 mg × min/m3). PH3 exposure affects both pulmonary and cardiac function. Unlike typical pulmonary toxicants, PH3 induced net increases in respiration during exposure. Gross observations of the heart and lungs of exposed rats suggested pulmonary and cardiac tissue damage, but histopathological examination showed little to no observable pathologic changes in those organs. Gene expression studies indicated alterations in inflammatory processes, metabolic function and cell signaling, with particular focus in cardiac tissue. Transmission electron microscopy examination of cardiac tissue revealed ultrastructural damage to both tissue and mitochondria. Altogether, these data reveal that in untreated, un-anesthetized rats, PH3 inhalation induces acute cardiorespiratory toxicity and injury, leading to death and that it is characterized by a steep dose-response curve. Continued use of our interdisciplinary approach will permit more effective identification of therapeutic windows and development of rational medical countermeasures and countermeasure strategies.

description: In management sciences the choice of a research methodology is generally complex and requires a meticulous analyse to find the adequate epistemology posture because the management sciences it is considered as a key step in the enhancement of scientific research work, generally, and particularly, in the study of management practices.

The purpose of this article is to shed light on the diverse paradigms and on the distinctions between quantitative and qualitative methodologies, that govern the management sciences research landscape.

Moreover, this article aims to analyse the theoretical foundations: the issues, meaning, contours and theoretical foundations of the epistemology posture in management science, but also to clarify the necessary elements that the researcher need to opt for the epistemological choice and its appropriate paradigms and the method of reasoning to defend his thesis.

To answer these questions, this work will be divided into two parts. Firstly, it involves analysing the theoretical foundations via a literature review of the construction of reasoning and the paradigms of the epistemological posture. Secondly, we will move on to the epistemological aspect appropriate specifically in management sciences.
Ferroelectric $π$-stacks of molecules with the energy gaps in the sunlight range

description: Ferroelectric $π$-stacked molecular wires for solar cell applications are theoretically designed, in such a way that their energy gaps fall within visible and infrared range of the Sun radiation. Band engineering is tailored by a modification of the number of the aromatic rings and via a choice of the number and kind of the dipole groups. The electronic structures of molecular wires and the chemical character of the electron-hole pair are analyzed within the density functional theory (DFT) framework and the hybrid DFT approach by means of the B3LYP scheme. Moreover, it is found that one of the advantageous properties of these systems - namely the separate-path electron and hole transport - reported earlier, still holds for the larger molecules, due to the dipole selection rules for the electron-hole generation, which do not allow the lowest optical transitions between the states localized at the same part of the molecule.

description: Sterelny (2003) has developed an influential account of the origin of human-like beliefs, which complements Godfrey-Smith's (1996, 2002a) account of the evolution of cognition. In this thesis, I focus on the first part of Sterelny's account, which addresses the evolution of cognition in non-human animals. In this thesis, I defend Sterelny’s account against two criticisms. Christensen (2010) argues that Sterelny’s most complex behavioural control system evolves as early as the nervous system. Akins and Pollon (in preparation) argue that Sterelny’s simplest control system cannot explain a great deal of the most basic behaviour. According to both these arguments, the findings of empirical research demonstrate that Sterelny’s account requires major revision or should simply be rejected. I counter these arguments, and show that Sterelny’s account does not require major revision. Although Sterelny’s account does not require major revision, Christensen’s and Akins and Pollon’s criticisms show that there are few details of the continuity between simple and complex behavioural control in Sterelny’s account. Akins and Pollon’s criticism also shows that behavioural control often involves on-going coordination and that the boundaries between input and output are sometimes more indistinct than Sterelny’s account indicates. In this thesis, I incorporate on-going coordination into Sterelny’s account of behavioural control, and expand upon Sterelny’s account of continuity.
