description: We propose a scheme for creating quantum superposition states involving of order $10^{14}$ atoms via the interaction of a single photon with a tiny mirror. This mirror, mounted on a high-quality mechanical oscillator, is part of a high-finesse optical cavity which forms one arm of a Michelson interferometer. By observing the interference of the photon only, one can study the creation and decoherence of superpositions involving the mirror. All experimental requirements appear to be within reach of current technology.

description: Quantum devices, such as quantum simulators, quantum annealers, and quantum computers, may be exploited to solve problems beyond what is tractable with classical computers. This may be achieved as the Hilbert space available to perform such `calculations' is far larger than that which may be classically simulated. In practice, however, quantum devices have imperfections, which may limit the accessibility to the whole Hilbert space. We thus determine that the dimension of the space of quantum states that are available to a quantum device is a meaningful measure of its functionality, though unfortunately this quantity cannot be directly experimentally determined. Here we outline an experimentally realisable approach to obtaining the required Hilbert space dimension of such a device to compute its time evolution, by exploiting the thermalization dynamics of a probe qubit. This is achieved by obtaining a fluctuation-dissipation theorem for high-temperature chaotic quantum systems, which facilitates the extraction of information on the Hilbert space dimension via measurements of the decay rate, and time-fluctuations.

title: Marks of Depiction: An Investigation of Perception and Processes of Drawing
Creators: name: Andrews, Jennifer R

Subjects: subject: Drawn depictions

subject: Perception and Processes of Drawing

description: This studio-based research uses drawing as a means of investigating the relationship between a graphic depiction or image made by an artist and the potential response of a viewer. This study investigates how drawn depictions can provide an evolving perceptual experience in which the elusive present becomes a platform for discovery and problem solving. The aim is to demonstrate how such images operate to facilitate cognitive and contemplative engagement, if not to also explain the continuing relevance of the graphic or drawn image. The drawing process in this investigation is not motivated by the sole end of a resolved aesthetic outcome, but the desire to create a depiction that will operate to facilitate cognitive as well as contemplative engagement. The developmental progression or graphic production outlined in this exegesis includes photography and digital manipulation as integral parts of a process leading to graphic depictions on paper and other substrates. Although the source images for depiction are limited to the littoral zone around the waterways of Brisbane, the analysis in the exegesis expands the implications of this translation of perceptions of natural form into material depiction with reference to theoretical authorities on the psychology of perception and mechanics of perceptual response and exemplary historical and contemporary practitioners in drawing. The larger implications of the claim that material graphic outputs can be given agency through a conscious, non-discursive process conducted by an artist can only be resolved in the experience of the encounter with the exhibited work. This project benefits from insights into perception and response in drawn depiction through research in the sciences and humanities, and through works and writings by, or about, other artists. Three authors who have a particular influence on this project are: art historian Barbara Maria Stafford, philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and neurologist Raymond Tallis. The works of contemporary British artist, Emma McNally and Italian Renaissance artist, Leonardo da Vinci are referred to throughout the paper. Other artists referred to are Käthe Kollwitz (German, 1867–1945), Edna Andrade (American, 1917–2008), Brett Whiteley (American, 1939–92), and contemporary artists Michael Geddis (Belfast), Nicholas Harding (Australian), Tania Kovats (British), and Constantin Luser (Austrian).

description: We consider the quantum stress-energy tensor of a massless scalar field near the Cauchy horizon interior to the Reissner-Nordström black hole spacetime. We construct the quantum state by considering the two-point function on a negative definite metric obtained by a double analytic continuation from the Lorentzian manifold, complexifying both the $t$ and polar coordinates. We enforce periodicity in the Euclideanized $t$ coordinate with periodicity equal to the reciprocal of the temperature of the Cauchy horizon, a necessary condition for avoiding a conical singularity at the inner horizon. We show by explicit construction that our quantum state satisfies the Hadamard condition on the Cauchy horizon. The expectation value of the quantum stress-energy tensor on the Cauchy horizon is given in closed form.

description: Nitrogen (N) deposition is increasing at unprecedentedly rate due to anthropogenic activities. The N deposition is altering the microbial activity and coupled C and N cycling through changing soil pH, N and carbon (C) availability. (1) N-related functional genes (NFGs) (N fixation, nifH; N mineralization, chiA; nitrification, AOA- and AOB-amoA；denitrification，narG，nirK，nirS and nosZ) regulate the main N transformation processes. However, empirically simulated N deposition experiments have been exclusively conducted through large and infrequent N fertilization, which may have caused contrasting effects on N cycling, compared with small and frequent N additions which were close to natural N deposition. Independently manipulated different rates (0-50 g N m–2yr–1) and frequencies (2 and 12 times per year) were selected to quantify the NFG abundances in Xilingol grassland, Inner Mongolia. The nifH, AOA-amoA, nirS, and nosZ gene abundances increased due to improved available N at low N rates, but were suppressed by salt toxicity and acidification at high N rates. The significant lower abundances of nifH, nirS, and nosZ were detected under the infrequent N addition plots due to stronger suppression by soil acidification and salt toxicity. The AOB-amoA gene abundance increased with increasing N rates and had higher abundance in the infrequent plots due to the higher NH4+-N concentration. The results demonstrated that small and frequent N addition should be employed to project the effects of N deposition on microbial functional groups as well as on N transformations.

description: We have developed a contact-less technique for the real time measurement of a-thermal (Cooper-pair breaking) phonons in an absorber held at sub-Kelvin temperatures. In particular, a thin-film aluminum superconducting resonator was realized on a 30-grams high-resistivity silicon crystal. The lumped-element resonator is inductively excited/read-out by a radio-frequency microstrip feed-line deposited on another wafer; the sensor, a Kinetic Inductance Detector (KID), is read-out without any physical contact or wiring to the absorber. The resonator demonstrates excellent electrical properties, particularly in terms of its internal quality factor. The detection of alphas and gammas in the massive absorber is achieved, with an RMS energy resolution of about 1.4 keV, which is already interesting for particle physics applications. The resolution of this prototype detector is mainly limited by the low (about 0.3%) conversion efficiency of deposited energy to superconducting excitations (quasi-particles). The demonstrated technique can be further optimized, and used to produce large arrays of a-thermal phonon detectors, for use in rare events searches such as: dark matter direct detection,neutrino-less double beta decay, or coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering.

Turning rights into ballots: Mexican external voting from the US

description: While some countries lag in enacting or implementing voting rights for nationals living outside the territory, others grant them but lag in turning rights into ballots. What explains the stagnation between offering democratic voice on paper to realizing active external voting in practice? We draw from the diaspora politics literature to analyse Mexico as a deviant case: we expect widespread external voting, given extensive state–diaspora institutionalization, continued legal and policy innovations, high financial investment, and consistent application of federal-level external voting since 2006. Yet, 15 years on, around 2% of those with a voter ID card and less than 1% of the pool of over 10 million potential voters participated in the 2018 election. Lowering key institutional barriers and easing voting modalities have yet to spur meaningful participation. Evidence from turnout data and electoral laws is supported with interviews within Mexico’s electoral management body, which capture insiders’ views on the politics behind innovations. The interpretive policy analysis contributes to understanding the role of electoral institutions and governance across territories. Innovations to ease registration and voting can fail to increase external voting numbers, leaving a large group of nationals abroad on the sidelines of democracy.
The peculiar statistical mechanics of Optimal Learning Machines

description: Optimal Learning Machines (OLM) are systems that extract maximally informative representation of the environment they are in contact with, or of the data they are presented. It has recently been suggested that these systems are characterised by an exponential distribution of energy levels. In order to understand the peculiar properties of OLM within a broader framework, I consider an ensemble of optimisation problems over functions of many variables, part of which describe a sub-system and the rest account for its interaction with a random environment. The number of states of the sub-system with a given value of the objective function obeys a stretched exponential distribution, with exponent $γ$, and the interaction part is drawn at random from the same distribution, independently for each configuration of the whole system. Systems with $γ=1$ then correspond to OLM, and we find that they sit at the boundary between two regions with markedly different properties. For all $γ>0$ the system exhibits a freezing phase transition. The transition is discontinuous for $γ<1$ and it is continuous for $γ>1$. The region $γ>1$ corresponds to learnable energy landscapes and the behaviour of the sub-system becomes predictable as the size of the environment exceeds a critical threshold. For $γ<1$, instead, the energy landscape is unlearnable and the behaviour of the system becomes more and more unpredictable as the size of the environment increases. Sub-systems with $γ=1$ (OLM) feature a behaviour which is independent of the relative size of the environment. This is consistent with the expectation that efficient representations should be largely independent of the level of detail of the description of the environment.

description: In this paper we consider generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) effects in higher dimensional black hole spacetimes via a nonlocal gravity approach. We study three possible modifications of momentum space measure emerging from GUP, including the original Kempf-Mangano-Mann (KMM) proposal. By following the KMM model we derive a family of black hole spacetimes. The case of five spacetime dimensions is a special one. We found an exact black hole solution with a Barriola-Vilenkin monopole at the origin. This object turns out to be the end point of the black hole evaporation. Interestingly for smaller masses, we found a "naked monopole" rather than a generic naked singularity. We also show that the Carr-Lake-Casadio-Scardigli proposal leads to mild modifications of spacetime metrics with respect to the Schwarzschild-Tangherlini solution. Finally, by demanding the same degree of convergence in the ultraviolet regime for any spacetime dimension, we derive a family of black hole solutions that fulfill the gravity self-completeness paradigm. The evaporation of such black holes is characterized by a fluctuating luminosity, which we dub a lighthouse effect.

description: Recently a new Bell inequality has been introduced (CGLMP,KKCZO) that is strongly resistant to noise for maximally entangled states of two $d$-dimensional quantum systems. We prove that a larger violation, or equivalently a stronger resistance to noise, is found for a non-maximally entangled state. It is shown that the resistance to noise is not a good measure of non-locality and we introduce some other possible measures. The non-maximally entangled state turns out to be more robust also for these alternative measures. From these results it follows that two Von Neumann measurements per party may be not optimal for detecting non-locality. For $d=3,4$, we point out some connections between this inequality and distillability. Indeed, we demonstrate that any state violating it, with the optimal Von Neumann settings, is distillable.

description: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder that occurs predominantly in people over 50. The patients with PD would exhibit motor symptoms including bradykinesia, muscular rigidity, resting tremor. The typical pathologic features of PD include the formation of Lewy bodies and the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Since PD is a late-onset disease, diagnosis before the emergence of the movement disorder is difficult but desirable as early intervention is necessary to minimise the progression of the disease. Defining the underlying genetic components of PD could help identify the patients earlier. The known factors of PD are broad. Environmental toxins, age, genetic mutations, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress and protein homeostasis dysregulation contribute to PD. Some genes that possess causal mutations in hereditary parkinsonism in multiplex families have been confirmed. The Queensland Parkinson’s Project (QPP) is a multi-institutional research project that aims to define the causes of PD and identify candidate gene mutations that may lead to inheritable PD. Based on the patient information collected by QPP, the Mellick research group has uncovered 49 potentially new PD genes. However, it is difficult to study the association of such a large number of genes with PD. This study brings a method to screen the potential PD gene suitable for further studying quickly. Drosophila melanogaster (D. melanogaster) is a model insect organism that has a short lifespan, well-defined nervous system and has been used to model a range of human diseases, including PD. Drosophila models of PD typically exhibit one of two PD-like symptoms: locomotor defects or increased sensitivity to oxidative stress. To measure the locomotor function of wild-type and three mutant fly strains, the video analysis software, FreeClimber, was used. Daily mortality after exposure to hydrogen peroxide was used to measure the sensitivity of fly strains to oxidative stress. This study found that locomotor function decreased in all fly strains as they become old, and the decay rate of Khc-73 and Rut mutant fly strains was faster than the wild-type Canton-S fly strain. Similarly, as flies aged and then were exposed to H2O2, the median survival decreased rapidly. The Rut mutation had the largest negative effect on both PD-like symptoms, and Khc-73 mutation also had a negative effect on the tested symptoms. These results suggest that functional disruption of homologous PD genes can result in locomotor function and oxidative stress resistance deficiency in D. melanogaster. The application of this model to the discovery of new PD genes is discussed.
title: The Influence of Comorbid Negative Mood on Craving's Relationship to Post-Treatment Alcohol Use

Subjects: subject: Alcohol abuse

description: Alcohol is ranked as the third highest burden of disease worldwide and the eighth highest leading cause of death. An estimated 19.5% of Australians consume alcohol in quantities that place them at risk of alcohol-related injury or disease over their lifetime. Alcohol misuse is also highly problematic, being associated with a range of negative physical, psychological and social consequences. While treatments are effective in helping people to achieve reductions, relapse rates are high, with up to 80% of treated alcohol users eventually relapsing. The ability to identify which treatment seekers may be at greater risk for relapse would enable appropriate tailoring of interventions and planning of aftercare. Craving has been widely studied as a potential predictor of relapse, but has performed inconsistently. The effect of comorbid depression on craving’s predictive performance however, has been largely neglected, despite demonstrated associations between negative affect and craving, and between negative affect and substance use. The aim of this thesis was to explore the performance of craving as a predictor of posttreatment alcohol use outcomes in the presence of comorbid depressed mood, under the hypothesis that presence of negative affect would augment effects of craving, strengthening its predictive power and increasing vulnerability to post-treatment relapse. Two studies were conducted, one with a sample of drinkers with comorbid depression, and the other with a sample of drinkers with a range of depression severity.

E. 70, 021506 (2004)] popularized the "RC" timescale $λ_{\textrm{D}} L/D$, with $λ_{\textrm{D}}$ being the Debye length, $2L$ the electrode separation, and $D$ the ionic diffusivity. For thin electric double layers near concentric spherical and coaxial cylindrical electrodes, I show here that equivalent circuit models again predict the correct ionic relaxation timescales. Importantly, these timescales explicitly depend on both electrode radii, not simply on their difference.

description: We investigate the infrared optical transitions between excitons of the yellow, green and blue series in the cuprous oxide Cu$_{\mathrm{2}}$O. We show that in many cases the dipole approximation is inadequate and, in particular, that it breaks down in yellow-blue transitions even for moderate principal quantum numbers of $n \approx 10$. The interband matrix elements of the transition operator needed for the evaluation of the excitonic transition strengths are derived from known as well as from fitted band parameters.
title: Finding Tito Maniacco, finding me: Translating his Mestri di mont (2007)

description: As individuals and as a society, we need to know our histories in order to know ourselves. In searching for mine, I came upon the Friulian intellectual Tito Maniacco (1932–2010). Who was Tito Maniacco? Why is neither he nor his work known outside of his homeland? This dissertation seeks to answer those questions while introducing Maniacco and his memoir, Mestri di mont, to a new audience. I reflect on the experience of finding him, and learning about him and myself, as I translated one of his last books into English. As I explore in this dissertation, memoir ensures that we do not forget. Tito Maniacco was a novelist, poet, essayist, historian, social critic, visual artist, teacher, and public servant, who lived and worked his whole life in Friuli, part of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia (FVG) region of Italy. Even though Maniacco’s oeuvre is substantial, he was marginalised in what was a conservative part of Italy, mainly because of his politics. It was only late in life that he received any notable recognition, and until now his work has barely travelled outside his homeland of Friuli. Mestri di mont is the story of Maniacco’s first teaching experience in 1956, when he was assigned to a multi-aged, one-classroom school high in the remote village of Moggessa di Là, in the Carnic mountains of Friuli, Italy. Maniacco sought to preserve the memory of a place and a time in the only way he knew: by writing about it. Personal stories can make an important contribution to research, particularly in a field such as memoir, because such stories can present new knowledge. What started as a translation project grew to include fragments from my own story, and eventually led me to discover my own writerly voice. Collaborating with Maniacco helped me along the way. Through the process of translating his work, I learned much about him and my Friulian roots, but I also learned about myself as a developing writer. As my story became entwined with Maniacco’s, I saw myself evolve from translator to creative writer. My memoir became a relational narrative as described by Paul John Eakin (1999), offering “not only the autobiography of the self but the biography and the autobiography of the other” (p. 58). My translation of Mestri di mont is enveloped within the pages of this dissertation, and Maniacco’s story is folded within my own. With this work, I take on the role of translator memoirist. In doing so, I offer new insights into the ways translation and memoir can work together, contributing to our understanding of authorship through the study of creative writing.

title: New Jerusalem Versus Babylon: Reading the Book of Revelation as the Text of a Circle of Counter-Imperial Christian Communities in the First Century Roman Empire

Subjects: subject: Revelation

subject: New Testament

description: The book of Revelation is perhaps the least understood and most controversial text of the Christian Scriptures. Among the mainstream churches, Revelation has been put into the 'too-hard basket.' Among the more fundamentalist churches, it has been used to construct lurid timetables of the 'end-of-the-world.' The reading of Revelation through modern eyes has tended to sever the text's connections to its original first century audience. In particular, the modern understanding of heaven and earth, the modern conceptualization of time, and the modern demarcation between politics and religion produce interpretations of apocalyptic that are alien to the ideology and worldview of its original author and audience. In this thesis I interpret the book of Revelation as looking not to the end of world history, but as an unmasking of the world dominated by the Roman Empire. In other words, Revelation exposes the claims of empire as illusory, and envisions an alternative reality that claims to be revealed and authorized by God. While this understanding runs counter to the modern 'apocalyptic paradigm,' I believe it is in keeping with the 'total conception of reality' in antiquity.
The entanglement of indistinguishable particles shared between two parties

description: Using an operational definition we quantify the entanglement, $E_P$, between two parties who share an arbitrary pure state of $N$ indistinguishable particles. We show that $E_P \leq E_M$, where $E_M$ is the bipartite entanglement calculated from the mode-occupation representation. Unlike $E_M$, $E_P$ is {\em super-additive}. For example, $E_P =0$ for any single-particle state, but the state $\ket{1}\ket{1}$, where both modes are split between the two parties, has $E_P = 1/2$. We discuss how this relates to quantum correlations between particles, for both fermions and bosons.

Anisotropy of Electrons Accelerated by a High-Intensity Laser Pulse

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We describe a realistic model for a focused high-intensity laser pulse in three dimensions. Relativistic dynamics of an electron submitted to such pulse is described by equations of motion with ponderomotive potential depending on a single free parameter in the problem, which we refer to as the "asymmetry parameter". It is shown that the asymmetry parameter can be chosen to provide quantitative agreement of the developed theory with experimental results of Malka et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 3314 (1997)] who detected angular asymmetry in the spatial pattern of electrons accelerated in vacuum by a high-intensity laser pulse.

description: This comparative study is an investigation into the changing concerns of feature film policy in Canada and Australia from 1968 to 1998. Its purpose is to determine how similar policy initiatives have produced divergent results in two economically, culturally and socially similar nations. The inquiry's aim is to establish what financial, political and geographic variables affect the application of feature film policy. While resemblances between these nations justify the contrasting of comparable feature film policy initiatives, differences in outcomes suggest that these nations are not entirely alike. Therefore, rather than following the leads of comparable national agencies, film policy makers in Canada and Australia need to concentrate on conditions specific to their own particular situation.

description: In this work we present a new bio-inspired method (using an adapted, frog based Particle Swarm Optimization) that can track a skyrmion's position. The structure and position of skyrmions in a given system is usually determined either by visual impression through a vector plot, or by averaging over magnetization and topological charge. Due to the inherent difficulty of acquiring this information in discrete systems, and also in systems with finite boundaries, we present a method which is able to reliably track a wide array of different topological structures, while also providing additional data about internal degrees of freedom, in both stationary and dynamic cases.

Is the X(3872) a bound state ?

description: All existing experimental evidence of the bound state nature of the $X(3872)$ relies on considering its decay products with a finite experimental spectral mass resolution which is typically $Δm \ge 2 $MeV and much larger than its alleged binding energy, $B_X=0.00(18)$MeV. On the other hand, we have found recently that there is a neat cancellation in the $1^{++}$ channel for the invariant $D \bar D^*$ mass around the threshold between the continuum and bound state contribution. This is very much alike a similar cancellation in the proton-neutron continuum with the deuteron in the $1^{++}$ channel. Based on comparative fits of experimental cross section deuteron and $X(3872)$ prompt production in pp collisions data with a finite $p_T$ to a common Tsallis distribution we find a strong argument questioning the bound state nature of the state but also explaining the large observed production rate likely consistent with a half-bound state.

title: Use of plastic waste for modified bitumen production for flexible pavement

Subjects: subject: plastic waste recycling
subject: road construction
subject: sustainable transport infrastructure

subject: pavement lifecycle assessment

description: Concerns about the ever-increasing generation of plastic waste have been mounting. Innovative and practical solutions to manage plastic waste is a pressing need of the society. Recycling of plastic into flexible roads has a potential for absorbing large quantities of plastic waste. The most popular methods of incorporating plastic into flexible roads are classified into wet and dry techniques. The wet technique, in which the plastic is added to the bitumen prior to the formulation of an asphalt mixture, is one of the most commonly used methods. The primary advantage of this technique is that it reduces the amount of bitumen required. Bitumen is the most expensive material in road construction and at the same time has the greatest environmental impact. However, studies have revealed some significant drawbacks to this technique, including increasing the viscosity and reducing the storage stability of bitumen, as well as the potential of microplastic generation, thus leading to a higher environmental impact than regular pavement. With these issues in mind, the goal of this project was to develop and propose a suitable additive to bitumen from waste plastics that eliminates or reduces the aforementioned issues. [...]

Two-dimensional SCFTs from matter-coupled 7D N=2 gauged supergravity

description: We study supersymmetric $AdS_3\times M^4$ solutions of $N=2$ gauged supergravity in seven dimensions coupled to three vector multiplets with $SO(4)\sim SO(3)\times SO(3)$ gauge group and $M^4$ being a four-manifold with constant curvature. The gauged supergravity admits two supersymmetric $AdS_7$ critical points with $SO(4)$ and $SO(3)$ symmetries corresponding to $N=(1,0)$ superconformal field theories (SCFTs) in six dimensions. For $M^4=Σ^2\timesΣ^2$ with $Σ^2$ being a Riemann surface, we obtain a large class of supersymmetric $AdS_3\times Σ^2\times Σ^2$ solutions preserving four supercharges and $SO(2)\times SO(2)$ symmetry for one of the $Σ^2$ being a hyperbolic space $H^2$, and the solutions are dual to $N=(2,0)$ SCFTs in two dimensions. For a smaller symmetry $SO(2)$, only $AdS_3\times H^2\times H^2$ solutions exist. Some of these are also solutions of pure $N=2$ gauged supergravity with $SU(2)\sim SO(3)$ gauge group. We numerically study domain walls interpolating between the two supersymmetric $AdS_7$ vacua and these geometries. The solutions describe holographic RG flows across dimensions from $N=(1,0)$ SCFTs in six dimensions to $N=(2,0)$ two-dimensional SCFTs in the IR. Similar solutions for $M^4$ being a Kahler four-cycle with negative curvature are also given. In addition, unlike $M^4=Σ^2\times Σ^2$ case, it is possible to twist by $SO(3)_{\textrm{diag}}$ gauge fields resulting in two-dimensional $N=(1,0)$ SCFTs. Some of the solutions can be uplifted to eleven dimensions and provide a new class of $AdS_3\times M^4\times S^4$ solutions in M-theory.
