Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This study involved ten English teachers from seven high schools in Surakarta Indonesia. It investigated their perceptions of the impacts of action research on their professional development. Five areas of investigation were set up in this study and were aimed to explore: 1) teachers' perceptions of whether their involvement in AR enhances their PD; 2) teachers' perceptions of whether their involvement in AR affects their practice; 3) teachers' perceptions of whether their involvement in AR influences their students' learning; 4) difficulties that teachers encountered during carrying out their AR projects; and 5) kinds of support structures that teachers needed as they undertook their AR projects. The study was conducted through several stages, starting with gathering background information about teachers' perceptions of professional development and their prior knowledge of action research; then, inviting the teachers to a series of action research workshops; engaging them in action research projects in their classes for one term; disseminating their research through producing reports, presenting posters, and delivering papers in a seminar; and finally conducting a post-study after the teachers' research projects finished. -- Data collecting techniques included a combination of questionnaires, interviews, teacher's diaries, researcher's journal, and document analysis. Repeated careful examination of the data was conducted in order to identify patterns, issues, and themes which emerged from the data in order to understand the realities of action research when it was conducted by high school teachers. -- This study suggests that while conducting action research was not an easy matter for the teachers, they gained several benefits from their involvement in AR projects. Teachers reported that there were significant improvements in many aspects of their classes, including the teaching, learning, and the atmosphere in the classrooms. Role shifting in some teachers also occurred from being "technicians" and more into decision makers. The findings also reveal that teachers required support, facilitation, funding, and time to enable them to undertake action research effectively. This study also makes suggestions addressed to the teachers themselves, the school, the researcher herself, and the teacher education.

description: We present the first detection of a jet in the far-IR [O I] lines from an intermediate mass protostar. We have carried out a Herschel/PACS spectral mapping study in the [O I] lines of OMC-2 FIR 3 and FIR 4, two of the most luminous protostars in Orion outside of the Orion Nebula. The spatial morphology of the fine structure line emission reveals the presence of an extended photodissociation region (PDR) and a narrow, but intense jet connecting the two protostars. The jet seen in [O I] emission is spatially aligned with the Spitzer/IRAC 4.5 micron jet and the CO (6-5) molecular outflow centered on FIR 3. The mass loss rate derived from the total [O I] 63 micron line luminosity of the jet is 7.7 x 10^-6 M_sun/yr, more than an order of magnitude higher than that measured for typical low mass class 0 protostars. The implied accretion luminosity is significantly higher than the observed bolometric luminosity of FIR 4, indicating that the [O I] jet is unlikely to be associated with FIR 4. We argue that the peak line emission seen toward FIR 4 originates in the terminal shock produced by the jet driven by FIR 3. The higher mass-loss rate that we find for FIR 3 is consistent with the idea that intermediate mass protostars drive more powerful jets than their low-mass counterparts. Our results also call into question the nature of FIR 4.

description: With the recent explosion of social media content, the amount of online hate speech is increasing, making it impossible to filter it manually. For automatic hate speech detection, a lot of annotated data is needed, which is mostly available for high-resource languages. In spite of data scarcity in low-resource languages, we want to detect hate speech in those languages. We use cross-lingual embeddings to achieve an acceptable performance in hate speech detection in a target language, using data from another language. We use hate speech comments from English, German, and Croatian. We use fastText word embeddings, align them with the RCSLS method, and achieve reasonable performance in 2 out of 6 language pairs. With Multilingual BERT, we improve upon this method, and achieve acceptable performance in 3 out of 6 language pairs.

Faster Inductive Training for Convex Two-Layer Models

description: Deep learning is currently one of the most effective approaches in machine learning with applications in image processing, computer vision, and natural language processing. The key technique underpinning its success is the automated learning of latent representation in data using neural networks that employ parametric hidden variables. However, these parameters are typically subject to a non-convex optimization, making the global optimum hard to find. Inductive learning frameworks that guarantee global optimality have been recently developed for two-layer conditional models with a learning strategy based on parametric transfer functions. However, they require optimization over large kernel matrices, hence are slow in training and cannot be scaled to big datasets. In this thesis, we propose a novel optimization strategy that iteratively and greedily expands the subspace of kernels, interlaced with network parameter optimization in the low-rank subspace. The resulting approach significantly speeds up training, while maintaining optimality and accuracy. This allows convex neural networks to be scaled to 10,000 examples for the first time.

description: Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy in combination with site-directed spin-labeling is a very powerful tool for elucidating the structure and organization of biomolecules. Gd$^{3+}$ complexes have recently emerged as a new class of spin labels for distance determination by pulsed EPR spectroscopy at Q- and W-band. We present CW EPR measurements at 240 GHz (8.6 Tesla) on a series of Gd-rulers of the type Gd-PyMTA---spacer---Gd-PyMTA, with Gd-Gd distances ranging from 1.2 nm to 4.3 nm. CW EPR measurements of these Gd-rulers show that significant dipolar broadening of the central $|-1/2\rangle\rightarrow|1/2\rangle$ transition occurs at 30 K for Gd-Gd distances up to $\sim$ 3.4 nm with Gd-PyMTA as the spin label. This represents a significant extension for distances accessible by CW EPR, as nitroxide-based spin labels at X-band frequencies can typically only access distances up to $\sim$ 2 nm. We show that this broadening persists at biologically relevant temperatures above 200 K, and that this method is further extendable up to room temperature by immobilizing the sample in glassy trehalose. We show that the peak-to-peak broadening of the central transition follows the expected $~1/r^3$ dependence for the electron-electron dipolar interaction, from cryogenic temperatures up to room temperature. A simple procedure for simulating the dependence of the lineshape on interspin distance is presented, in which the broadening of the central transition is modeled as an $S=1/2$ spin whose CW EPR lineshape is broadened through electron-electron dipolar interactions with a neighboring $S=7/2$ spin.

description: Functional coroutines are a restricted form of control mechanism, where each coroutine is represented with both a continuation and an environment. This restriction was originally obtained by considering a constructive version of Parigot's classical natural deduction which is sound and complete for the Constant Domain logic. In this article, we present a refinement of de Groote's abstract machine for functional coroutines and we prove its correctness. Therefore, this abstract machine also provides a direct computational interpretation of the Constant Domain logic.

The understanding of the balancing process is very important, especiallyfrom the point of view of elderly people. However, there are a lot of open questions about the workingprinciple of the neural system.We focus on the mathematical modelling of the neural process, which ows in the human neuroticsystem during standing still. There are several approaches in the literature. One approach is to apply alinear compensator (such as PD, PID, PIDA) in the model. Besides, model based predictive controllers arealso feasible, when the human acts using a pre-learned control input pattern in the certain situations.In our study, we compare the operation of the two control approaches, by comparing stabilometrymeasures, such as typical vibration frequencies, average velocity of the center of mass of the body andmaximum/average tilt angle.

description: Ideal MHD provides an accurate description of low-frequency Alfvén waves in fully ionized plasmas. However, higher frequency waves in many plasmas of the solar atmosphere cannot be correctly described by ideal MHD and a more accurate model is required. Here, we study the properties of small-amplitude incompressible perturbations in both the low and the high frequency ranges in plasmas composed of several ionized species. We use a multi-fluid approach and take into account the effects of collisions between ions and the inclusion of Hall's term in the induction equation. Through the analysis of the corresponding dispersion relations and numerical simulations we check that at high frequencies ions of different species are not as strongly coupled as in the low frequency limit. Hence, they cannot be treated as a single fluid. In addition, elastic collisions between the distinct ionized species are not negligible for high frequency waves since an appreciable damping is obtained. Furthermore, Coulomb collisions between ions remove the cyclotron resonances and the strict cut-off regions that are present when collisions are not taken into account. The implications of these results for the modelling of high-frequency waves in solar plasmas are discussed.

description: BaSnO$_3$ (BSO) is a promising transparent conducting oxide (TCO) with reported room-temperature (RT) Hall mobility exceeding 320 cm$^{2}$V$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$. Among perovskite oxides, it has the highest RT mobility, about 30 times higher than that of the prototypical SrTiO$_3$. Using first-principles calculations based on hybrid density functional theory, we elucidate the physical mechanisms that govern the mobility by studying the details of LO-phonon and ionized impurity scattering. A careful numerical analysis to obtain converged results within the relaxation-time approximation of Boltzmann transport theory is presented. The ${\bf k}$ dependence of the relaxation time is fully taken into account. We find that the high RT mobility in BSO originates not only from a small effective mass, but also from a significant reduction in the phonon scattering rate compared to other perovskite oxides; the origins of this reduction are identified. Ionized impurity scattering influences the total mobility even at RT for dopant densities larger than $5\times10^{18}$ cm$^{-3}$, and becomes comparable to LO-phonon scattering for $1\times10^{20}$ cm$^{-3}$ doping, reducing the drift mobility from its intrinsic LO-phonon-limited value of $\sim$594 cm$^{2}$V$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$ to less than 310 cm$^{2}$V$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$. We suggest pathways to avoid impurity scattering via modulation doping or polar discontinuity doping. We also explicitly calculate the Hall factor and Hall mobility, allowing a direct comparison to experimental reports for bulk and thin films and providing insights into the nature of the dominant mechanisms that limit mobility in state-of-the art samples.

description: Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a technology in which water is desalinated by ion electrosorption into the electric double layers (EDLs) of charging porous electrodes. In recent years significant advances have been made in modeling the charge and salt dynamics in a CDI cell, but the possible effect of surface transport within diffuse EDLs on these dynamics has not been investigated. We here present theory which includes surface transport in describing the dynamics of a charging CDI cell. Through our numerical solution to the presented models, the possible effect of surface transport on the CDI process is elucidated. While at some model conditions surface transport enhances the rate of CDI cell charging, counter-intuitively this additional transport pathway is found to slow down cell charging at other model conditions.

description: Drought is a complex natural hazard which can create significant impacts on society and environment. Given that this phenomenon varies across space and changes over time dependent on various factors (e.g., physical conditions and human activities), the available of spatiotemporal drought data enables a better monitoring and assessment of drought severity This study introduced the integrated multivariate drought index (iMDI) data, a new regional drought index, at 1 km spatial and monthly temporal resolutions for the Vietnamese Central Highlands over a 20-years period. The iMDI was developed recently which is a combination of vegetation condition index (VCI), the temperature condition index (TCI), and the evaporative stress index (ESI) based on the feature of scaling algorithms (i.e., normalisations and standardisation). The data were processed using the median values of MODIS time-series imagery obtained from the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. The iMDI datasets are available for monthly and annual drought monitoring between 2001 and 2020. Additionally, the datasets of VCI, TCI, and ESI were provided so that users can apply for their own purposes even though these data can directly obtain from GEE or other sources. Users, especially those without technical expertise, can reap the advantages of having open access to iDMI data. By doing so, they can reduce their expenses and the time required to process data. As such, this accessibility can promote the use of data for diverse applications, such as evaluating the impact of droughts on the environment and human activities and monitoring droughts regionally.

Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Though collaboration has been evident throughout the History of art, the purpose of this study was to examine the process and structures of collaborative artistic practices that have re-emerged in the contemporary art world. In framing this research various factors which have impacted on the re-emergence of collaborative artistic practices ‚Äö- the role of the artist, the perception of art making, and societal and cultural influences were also considered. Three case studies were utilised for this research: the Parliament House Embroidery (1984 ‚Äö- 1988); the Victorian Tapestry Workshop (1976 - ); and the Partnership or Perish? exhibition (2006). The extensive documentation and archival resources available affected the choice of the first two case studies, with the third being chosen due to my curatorial role in the Partnership or Perish? exhibition. All of the case studies have been publicly acknowledged as being the result of a collaborative process. Each of the case studies provided insights into the process of collaboration and the characteristics necessary for a successful and sustainable artistic collaboration. The data gained through observation, interviews, and collation as well as QSR computer software analysis from the selected case studies, when coupled with information gained from current literature on artistic collaborative practices was utilised to formulate a model for collaboration. These findings were compared and contrasted to collaborative processes operating in various sectors such as the arts, technology, the community and education. The findings present an extensive list of factors and characteristics which are essential in initiating and maintaining a collaborative process, resulting in a recommended arts model for those wishing to engage in the collaborative process.

We explore this problem from a new angle via the conflict between extensionality and effects. Leveraging ideas from work on the $λ$-calculus with control, we derive and justify alternative operational semantics and a sequence of abstract machines for performing head reduction. Head reduction avoids the problems with weak-head reduction and extensionality, while our operational semantics and associated abstract machines show us how to retain weak-head reduction's ease of implementation.

description: In this paper, we analyze the performance of the uplink communication of massive multi-cell multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems under the effects of pilot contamination and delayed channels because of terminal mobility. The base stations (BSs) estimate the channels through the uplink training, and then use zero-forcing processing to decode the transmit signals from the users. The probability density function (PDF) of the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio is derived for any finite number of antennas. From this PDF, we derive an achievable ergodic rate with a finite number of BS antennas in closed form. Insights of the impact of the Doppler shift (due to terminal mobility) at the low signal-to-noise ratio regimes are exposed. In addition, the effects on the outage probability are investigated. Furthermore, the power scaling law and the asymptotic performance result by infinitely increasing the numbers of antennas and terminals (while their ratio is fixed) are provided. The numerical results demonstrate the performance loss for various Doppler shifts. Among the interesting observations revealed is that massive MIMO is favorable even in channel aging conditions.

description: Using a multivariate drought index that incorporates important environmental variables and is suitable for a specific geographical region is essential to fully understanding the pattern and impacts of drought severity. This study applied feature scaling algorithms to MODIS time-series imagery to develop an integrated Multivariate Drought Index (iMDI). The iMDI incorporates the vegetation condition index (VCI), the temperature condition index (TCI), and the evaporative stress index (ESI). The 54,474 km2 Vietnamese Central Highlands region, which has been significantly affected by drought severity for several decades, was selected as a test site to assess the feasibility of the iMDI. Spearman correlation between the iMDI and other commonly used spectral drought indices (i.e. the Drought Severity Index (DSI–12) and the annual Vegetation Health Index (VHI–12)) and ground-based drought indices (i.e. the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI–12) and the Reconnaissance Drought Index (RDI–12)) was employed to evaluate performance of the proposed drought index. Pixel-based linear regression together with clustering models of the iMDI time-series was applied to characterize the spatiotemporal pattern of drought from 2001 to 2020. In addition, a persistent area of LULC types (i.e. forests, croplands, and shrubland) during the 2001–2020 period was used to understand drought variation in relation to LULC. Results suggested that the iMDI outperformed the other spectral drought indices (r > 0.6; p < 0.005). The analysis revealed an increase in drought risk in some provinces of the Central Highlands including Gia Lai, Kon Tum, and Dak Lak. It was also found that changes in LULC patterns could minimize (reforestation) or exacerbate (deforestation) the impacts of drought. Our study suggests that applying a multivariate drought index enables a better understanding of drought patterns at the local scale. This provides valuable information for the development of appropriate land and environmental management practices that can affect and mitigate climate change effects.

description: The Future Circular Collider (FCC) is a post-LHC project aiming at searches for physics beyond the SM in a new 80--100~km tunnel at CERN. Running in its first phase as a very-high-luminosity electron-positron collider (FCC-ee), it will provide unique possibilities for indirect searches of new phenomena through high-precision tests of the SM. In addition, by collecting tens of ab$^{-1}$ integrated luminosity in the range of center-of-mass energies $\sqrt{s}$~=90--350~GeV, the FCC-ee also offers unique physics opportunities for precise measurements of QCD phenomena and of photon-photon collisions through, literally, billions of hadronic final states as well as unprecedented large fluxes of quasireal $γ$'s radiated from the $\rm e^+e^-$ beams. We succinctly summarize the FCC-ee perspectives for high-precision extractions of the QCD coupling, for detailed analyses of parton radiation and fragmentation, and for SM and BSM studies through $γγ$ collisions.

Answer-Type Modification without Tears: Prompt-Passing Style Translation for Typed Delimited-Control Operators

description: The salient feature of delimited-control operators is their ability to modify answer types during computation. The feature, answer-type modification (ATM for short), allows one to express various interesting programs such as typed printf compactly and nicely, while it makes it difficult to embed these operators in standard functional languages. In this paper, we present a typed translation of delimited-control operators shift and reset with ATM into a familiar language with multi-prompt shift and reset without ATM, which lets us use ATM in standard languages without modifying the type system. Our translation generalizes Kiselyov's direct-style implementation of typed printf, which uses two prompts to emulate the modification of answer types, and passes them during computation. We prove that our translation preserves typing. As the naive prompt-passing style translation generates and passes many prompts even for pure terms, we show an optimized translation that generate prompts only when needed, which is also type-preserving. Finally, we give an implementation in the tagless-final style which respects typing by construction.

Australian history

description: This oral history thesis explores the lives of working-class women in the Latrobe Valley, a rural and industrial coal region of Victoria (Australia). It traces the lives of seventeen women across the second half of the twentieth century as they negotiated tremendous economic, environmental, and social change associated with deindustrialisation. Arranged as a collective biography, Valley women’s accounts demonstrate the cumulative effects of gendered expectations and structures, interacting with class and ethnicity, across women’s life course from girlhood to later life. Valley women’s narratives of endurance and perseverance enrich and deepen our understanding of postwar family industrial life in regional Australia.

description: We present high-resolution, time-resolved optical spectroscopy of the black hole X-ray transient Swift J1753.5-0127. Our optical spectra do not show features that we can associate with the companion star. However we do observe broad, double-peaked emission lines, typical of an accretion disc. We show that the mass of the compact object is likely $>7.4\pm1.2M_{\odot}$, much higher than previous suggestions of a low-mass ($<5M_{\odot}$) black hole.

The thermal structure of the Sydney Gunnedah Bowen Basin Eastern Australia

description: The Earth's upper crust hosts many important economic resources and understanding its geometry and thermal structure is critical for resource development and management, and scientific research. In Australia subsurface structure is currently understood through deep seismic reflection surveys, gravity profiles and small scale integrated geological models and the subsurface thermal profile from extrapolated borehole temperature measurements and heat flow measurements. This style of approach has inherent limitations, including the inability to account for 3D effects on subsurface temperatures and heat flow. -- The Sydney-Gunnedah-Bowen Basin (SGBB) system is the largest sedimentary basin on the east coast of Australia, and is host to many energy rich resources. Thermal structure is controlled principally by geology and basin architecture, which is characteristic of an extensional rift origin. Through integrated geophysical methods and a novel approach to 3D thermal modelling both the geometry and thermal structure of the upper crust of the SGBB is characterised. The ability to calibrate and constrain thermal models with real world observables is critical to understanding uncertainties and providing representative estimates of temperature. By constructing the thermal model on an upper crustal scale the thermal field is self consistent with detailed 3D geological structures and physical rock properties. This model is also scalable and able to focus on smaller, detailed areas. -- The 3D geological and thermal model of the SGBB provides the first integrated framework from which to assess the thermal structure and build the next generation of detailed models for future research. By characterising the thermal structure new resource exploration in geothermal energy is possible, with the estimated temperature at depth over 150°C in most parts of the Sydney and Bowen basins.

description: Demonstrating the process of transregional biogeography and mechanisms underlying evolutionary radiations is crucial to understanding biological evolution. Here, we use Hydrangeeae (Hydrangeaceae), a tribe with a unique disjunct distribution and complex trait variations, using a solid phylogenetic framework, to investigate how geographical and climatic factors interact with functional traits to trigger plant evolutionary radiations. We constructed the first highly supported and dated phylogenetic framework using 79 protein-coding genes obtained from 81 plastomes, representing 63 species and all major clades, and found that most extant species originated from asynchronous diversification of two lineages undergoing repeated expansion and retraction, at middle and high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere between East Asia and North America, during the Eocene to Pleistocene (driven by geologic and climatic dynamics). In accordance with these drivers, interactions of flora between central-eastern China and Japan occurred frequently after the Late Tertiary. We found that resource limitation and range fragmentation likely accelerated the diversification of Hydrangeeae, which supports the resource-use hypothesis. Our study sheds light on the evolutionary radiation and assembly of flora within East Asia, and the East Asian-North American disjunction, through integration of phylogenomic and biogeographic data with functional trait and ecological data.

description: We simulate a one dimensional fermionic optical lattice to analyse heating due to non-adiabatic lattice loading. Our simulations reveal that, similar to the bosonic case, density redistribution effects are the major cause of heating in harmonic traps. We suggest protocols to modulate the local density distribution during the process of lattice loading, in order to reduce the excess energy. Our numerical results confirm that linear interpolation of the trapping potential and/or the interaction strength is an efficient method of doing so, bearing practical applications relevant to experiments.
