description: We study an individual-based stochastic epidemic model in which infected individuals become susceptible again following each infection (generalized SIS model). Specifically, after each infection, the infectivity is a random function of the time elapsed since the infection, and each recovered individual loses immunity gradually (equivalently, becomes gradually susceptible) after some time according to a random susceptibility function. The epidemic dynamics is described by the average infectivity and susceptibility processes in the population together with the numbers of infected and susceptible/uninfected individuals. In \cite{forien-Zotsa2022stochastic}, a functional law of large numbers (FLLN) is proved as the population size goes to infinity, and asymptotic endemic behaviors are also studied. In this paper, we prove a functional central limit theorem (FCLT) for the stochastic fluctuations of the epidemic dynamics around the FLLN limit. The FCLT limit for the aggregate infectivity and susceptibility processes is given by a system of stochastic non-linear integral equation driven by a two-dimensional Gaussian process.

description: The behavior of concrete during its initial maturation stages is a critical aspect ofconstruction and infrastructure development. In this study, we present a numeri-cal model that delves into the intricate interplay of thermo-mechanical and hygralphenomena within fresh concrete. Our focus extends prioror models by integrat-ing the effects of hydration and evaporation, providinga comprehensive understanding of concrete behavior. The proposed model buildsupon Gawin’s foundational work (D. Gawin, F. Pesavento, and B. A. Schrefler,Int J Numer Methods Eng 67(3), 299-331, 2006), conceptualizing concrete as amultiphase material. It comprises a solid phase (representing cement, gravel, etc.)and fluid and gas phases filling the pores - water and air, respectively. Lever-aging the well-established Theory of Porous Media, our model captures the fastprocesses governing concrete’s early stages. To validate the model’s efficacy, weconduct experimental investigations specifically targeting the evaporation kinet-ics in fresh concrete. These experiments shed light on how evaporation impactsconcrete properties during its initial hydration period. Additionally, we employ amulti-field finite-element solver to perform numerical simulations, assessing themodel’s predictive accuracy in capturing real-world concrete behavior. Our studynot only refines and expands upon Gawin’s framework but also introduces newaspects, including evaporation dynamics. By deepening our insightsinto evaporation mechanisms within porous materials, we enhance our under-standing of concrete’s response to both internal and environmental stimuli. Twonumerical examples will be presented to illustrate the model’s application. Lever-aging the Dynamic Vapor Sorption method, we explore the complex interplaybetween hydration, evaporation, and external influences, ultimately advancingour knowledge of concrete structure maturation.

description: Video inpainting is the task of filling a region in a video in a visually convincing manner. It is very challenging due to the high dimensionality of the data and the temporal consistency required for obtaining convincing results. Recently, diffusion models have shown impressive results in modeling complex data distributions, including images and videos. Such models remain nonetheless very expensive to train and to perform inference with, which strongly reduce their applicability to videos, and yields unreasonable computational loads. We show that in the case of video inpainting, thanks to the highly auto-similar nature of videos, the training data of a diffusion model can be restricted to the input video and still produce very satisfying results. With this internal learning approach, where the training data is limited to a single video, our lightweight models perform very well with only half a million parameters, in contrast to the very large networks with billions of parameters typically found in the literature. We also introduce a new method for efficient training and inference of diffusion models in the context of internal learning, by splitting the diffusion process into different learning intervals corresponding to different noise levels of the diffusion process. We show qualitative and quantitative results, demonstrating that our method reaches or exceeds state of the art performance in the case of dynamic textures and complex dynamic backgrounds

description: Conventional membranes are used in membrane emulsification to generate highly uniform droplets over a desired range of droplet sizes, and in microfiltration for the removal of solid particles down to 0.01 microns in size from liquid streams. However, the productivity and operating costs for both of these processes may suffer because the internal pore structure of these membranes can be become blocked during operation, leading to a large pressure drop across the membrane. Such problems can be avoided by using a special type of membrane called a microsieve, and unlike conventional membranes, microsieves do not have an internal pore structure. The microsieves developed at Micropore Technologies consist of a thin metal sheet with uniformly sized and spaced pores, where each pore forms a direct channel from one side of the membrane to the other. In this thesis, two surface coatings have been developed to optimise the performance of the microsieves used in membrane emulsification and microfiltration, resulting in two new composite membrane types. The first surface coating was required to improve the uniformity of aqueous droplets formed during the preparation of water-in-oil (w/o) emulsions. The second surface coating was required to remove yeast cells from aqueous feed suspensions. Simple criteria were used in the decision-making process to select the best type of coating, which included performance (droplet uniformity or yeast cell rejection achieved), durability and material costs. This thesis explores the development work for both coatings, and includes brief notes on those coatings that did not meet the criteria.

description: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) contributes substantially to maternal morbidity and mortality globally. First–line treatment includes uterotonics, uterine massage, and fluid resuscitation. Uterine balloon tamponade is recommended for uterine atony refractory to first-line treatment. International guidelines limit the context of tamponade use to settings where surgical intervention and blood products are readily available, not accounting for disparities in access to such resources at birthing centers. Further evaluation of PPH tamponade devices for utilization in multiple care settings is needed. We conducted a feasibility study of uterine tamponade devices among midwifery and medical students.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Hydrogen is a non-toxic, odourless, and colourless gas that can be used as a renewable clean energy source to replace traditional fossil fuels to avoid carbon emissions, air pollution, and climate change. Due to its high flammability and explosiveness, each step of hydrogen production, storage, transport, and use must be performed safely. Therefore, developing reliable, highly sensitive and selective H2 gas sensors plays a vital role in maintaining health and safety across the H2 supply chain. This PhD project has developed highly sensitive and selective hydrogen gas sensors employing two-dimensional nanomaterials.

description: Background Spinal cord injury (SCI) is associated with autonomic imbalance and significant secondary conditions, including cardiac and brain dysfunction that adversely impact health and wellbeing. This study will investigate the effectiveness (intention-to-treat) of a neuro-cardiac self-regulation therapy to improve autonomic and neural/brain activity in adults with SCI living in the community. Methods A two-arm parallel, randomised controlled trial in which adults with SCI living in the community post-rehabilitation will be randomly assigned to a treatment or control group. The treatment group (N = 60) aged 18–70 years with a chronic traumatic or non-traumatic SCI, will receive intervention sessions once per week for 10 weeks, designed to regulate autonomic activity using computer-based feedback of heart rate variability and controlled breathing (called HRV-F). Comprehensive neurophysiological and psychological assessment will occur at baseline, immediate post-treatment, and 6 and 12-months post-treatment. Primary outcome measures include electrocardiography/heart rate variability (to assess autonomic nervous system function) and transcranial doppler sonography (to assess cerebral blood circulation in basal cerebral arteries). Secondary outcomes measures include continuous blood pressure, electroencephalography, functional near-infrared spectroscopy, respiration/breath rate, electrooculography, cognitive capacity, psychological status, pain, fatigue, sleep and quality of life. Controls (N = 60) will receive usual community care, reading material and a brief telephone call once per week for 10 weeks and be similarly assessed over the same time period as the HRV-F group. Linear mixed model analysis with repeated measures will determine effectiveness of HRV-F and latent class mixture modelling used to determine trajectories for primary and selected secondary outcomes of interest. Discussion Treatments for improving autonomic function after SCI are limited. It is therefore important to establish whether a neuro-cardiac self-regulation therapy can result in improved autonomic functioning post-SCI, as well as whether HRV-F is associated with better outcomes for secondary conditions such as cardiovascular health, cognitive capacity and mental health.

description: Tight regulation of the proliferative status of intestinal stem cells is critical for establishing a functional epithelial layer during development, a homeostatic state in adulthood, and the ability to rapidly repair injury to maintain the barrier to the outside environment. Our data reveal functional differences in the Bmi1+ ISC across development, with evidence that late stage Bmi1+ ISCs give rise to differentiated cell lineages. Importantly, our data provide the foundation for exploring an underlying mechanism that regulates proliferative state of a stem cell population in the intestine, with important implications on development, injury repair and diseases such as cancer.

Luck and Leaps of Faith: Navigating an emergent shared informal economy for renting in Australia

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The proliferation of peer-to-peer online platforms has facilitated the increased conversion of private dwelling spaces to exchangeable room based commodities that disrupt yet coexist with traditional private rental practices. With global reach, peer-to-peer platforms act as a direct yet informal route into an increasingly unaffordable and commodified rental market from networked ties that are reliant on trust and luck. Although shared living has existed since the beginning of time it is argued that peer-to-peer platforms provide a virtuous cycle for the
informal room rental market to flourish yet be concealed from the regulatory practices that govern the formal rental sector. The everyday practices of negotiating the room rental market and the return to ideas of ‘modern trust’ promoted within a shared economy discourse bring to the fore the institutional asymmetry emerging between the informal and formal private rental sectors for those seeking housing solutions whilst living on a low income.

description: The hypothesis that the helmeted head on the Sophytes issue assimilated that of the Seleukos I Susa trophy coinage is a misleading fallacy. The differences observed between the two depictions far outweigh the minor general points similarity, to the extent that the argument that the former copies and assimilates the latter has no foundation. In the coinage of Andragoras and Sophytes we witness a progression in helmet depiction from the purely artistic construct of the Attic helmet depicted on the initial imitative Athenian coinage (Series 1) to an evolved realistic helmet depiction on the coinage of Sophytes (Series 7 & 8), one that clearly dates to the 3rd century BC. With this insight, the inferred chronological linkage between the Susa trophy issues of Seleukos I and the eastern coinage in the name of Sophytes collapses. As a consequence, the dating to the late 4th century BC of the preceding succession of mint control linked imitative owl and eagle issues (Andragoras and Sophytes Series 1-5) as proposed by previous scholars is unsustainable. Rather, a mid-3rd century BC date is the only viable option. This down dated chronology is supported comprehensive numismatic analysis of the coinage, details of the iconographic development on the imitative owls of Series 2, plus the sparsely documented hoard evidence.
Evaluation of the Policy Effect of China’s Environmental Interview System for Effective Air Quality Governance

description: The Ministry of Ecology and Environment of the People’s Republic of China formally proposed an environmental interview system in May 2014, which applies pressure on local governments to fulfill their responsibility toward environmental protection by conducting face-to-face public interviews with their officials. In this paper, 48 cities that were publicly interviewed from 2014–2020 were considered the experimental group and 48 cities surrounding them were the control group. First, the dynamic panel model is applied to initially determine the effect of the policy. Then, a regression discontinuity method (Sharp RD) is used to analyze the short-term and long-term effects and compare the reasons for the differences observed among the estimates of various types of samples. Finally, a series of robustness tests were also conducted. The results show that the environmental interview system can improve air quality. However, because an emergency short-term local governance system exists at present, the governance effect is not long-term and, therefore, not sustainable. Therefore, it suggests that the government should continue to improve the environmental interview system, establish an optimal environmental protection incentive mechanism, and encourage local governments to implement environmental protection policies effectively in the long term. The results of the research are of great significance to the environmental impact assessment system of the world, especially in countries with similar economic systems, which are facing a trade-off between economic growth and environmental sustainability.

description: In this study we investigated phytochemical screening and In­vitro antibacterial activity of hexane, ethyl acetate, ethanol (70%v/v) and methanol extracts of Ficus semicordata leaves. The results were revealed the presence of steroids, terpenoids, flavonoids, glycosides, tannins, carbohydrates and saponins but do not give the positive results for oils, quinines and amino acids. The selected plant extracts were produced concentration dependent zone of inhibition against tested bacterial strains. The extracts showed more activity against gram negative organisms than gram positive organisms. The extracts showed better activity at highest concentrans i.e at 600 and 1200 µg/100µl. Among the four types of Ficus semicordata leaves extracts, the methanolic extract showed better activity than remaining extracts at 1200 µg concentrations against gram negative bacteria

description: In this study, we report for the first time, the eco-friendly green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) obtained by the reduction of silver acetate using Phyllanthus amarus leaf extract. Appearance of dark brown and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak at 425 nm confirms the Ag NPs formation within 5 min from UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Influence of leaf extract quantities and metal concentrations were evaluated to find their effects on NPs synthesis. SEM analysis gives the surface morphology of Ag NPs and it was observed to be spherical in shape. The average particle size of Ag NPs was conformed from XRD and TEM analysis. The antibacterial activity of green synthesized Ag NPs was successfully assessed against various multidrug resistance bacteria.

description: The growth of the Australian private rental sector continues to outpace all other forms of tenure. As a sector it houses growing numbers of single lower income persons including domestic and international students, young home leavers, new settlers, as well as increasing numbers of persons falling out of or unable to afford home ownership. This paper presents findings from Australian research examining the practices of lower income single renters navigating a burgeoning shared economy and emergent forms of renting as adaptations to rapid growth in rents and prices. The proliferation of online search and matching IT platforms has provided a conduit for the conversion of private dwelling spaces to exchangeable commodities that disrupt yet coexist with traditional private rental practices. The housing security and capacity of single renters to negotiate rental housing solutions are increasingly marked by chance encounters, luck and leaps of faith rather than planned and linear housing strategies for the future. The living arrangements of those entering informal renting communities are moderated by emerging norms of practices that are unequally negotiated among those taking up or residing in the dwelling. Thoseon the outside of newly formalising ‘informal’ renting communities face depleting housing options and extreme hardship.

title: A Summary of McEliece-Type Cryptosystems and their Security

Publisher: name: De Gruyter
Year: 2025

description: In this paper we give an overview of some of the cryptographic applications which were derived from the proposal of R. J. McEliece to use error correcting codes for cryptographic purposes. Code based cryptography is an interesting alternative to number theoretic cryptography. Many basic cryptographic functions like encryption, signing, hashing, etc. can be realized using code theoretic concepts.

In this paper we briefly show how to correct errors in transmitted data by employing Goppa codes and describe possible applications to public key cryptography.

The main focus of this paper is to provide detailed insight into the state of art of cryptanalysis of the McEliece cryptosystem and the effect on different cryptographic applications. We conclude, that for code based cryptography a public key of 88KB offers sufficient security for encryption, while we need a public key of at least 597KB for secure signing.

description: The objective of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant activity of methanolic leaf extract of Entada pursaetha by using Superoxide radical, Hydroxyl radical and DPPH radical scavenging methods. Entada pursaetha is a gigantic woody liana among legumes. The methanolic leaf extract of Entada pursaetha produced a dose dependent inhibition of in vitro free radical generation of superoxide anion (IC50 value 488.50 µg/ml), hydroxyl radical (IC50 value 509.00 µg/ml) and DPPH radical (IC50 value 390.00µg/ml). The results clearly indicate the free radical scavenging activity of methanolic leaf extract of Entada pursaetha and this activity comparable with that of the standard drug ascorbic acid

description: We used an operant conditioning paradigm to test the motivation of non-pregnant dairy heifers to access shade during the summer and autumn months (January to June) in southern Brazil. Dairy heifers (n = 18) were trained to push a weighted gate to access either an experimental area containing both a shaded (simple tree shade and shade cloth) and unshaded area (WITH SHADE) or an experimental area with no shade (BARREN). The latency to push the weighted gate, and the maximum weight pushed by each heifer, were recorded in both the summer and the autumn. Temperature and humidity were recorded continuously for the duration of the study and were used to calculate the heat index. The maximum weight pushed to enter the WITH SHADE area was greater in summer than in autumn, and was inversely related to the latency to push the weighted gate. Heifers refused to work for access to the BARREN environment. As expected, both the maximum ambient temperatures and heat index were higher in summer than in autumn, and also higher in the non-shaded areas than under the shade in both seasons. Heifers of higher social rank displaced other heifers more often, and spent more time in the shaded areas, particularly in the area with trees plus a shade cloth, than the intermediate and subordinate heifers. We conclude that shade is an important and valued resource for heifers reared on pasture-based systems in sub-tropical environments, particularly during the hot summer months.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Studies of Aqueous Electrolyte Ion Adsorption in Microporous Carbon Electrodes
Creators: name: Bragg, Ryan
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2025

description: To improve processes that rely on guest-surface interactions within
 microporous carbonaceous materials (e.g., electrocatalysis, gas sorption,
 and energy storage) it is critical to understand the behaviour of adsorbed
 species within these materials. A particular application of interest is
 electric double-layer capacitors (or supercapacitors), where charge is
 stored through the non-faradaic electrosorption of ions at the
 electrolyte-surface interface. However, despite extensive research, the
 adsorption mechanisms in these complex nanoscale structures remain
 unclear. This is especially true for aqueous electrolytes, where limited
 prior study and the challenges of pH effects further complicate our
 understanding. In this thesis, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance
 (NMR) spectroscopy is used to observe and quantify aqueous adsorbate
 partitioning behaviour driven by spontaneous physisorption within the
 micropores. The solvation properties of the electrolyte ions are shown to
 influence

 the ionophilicity/ionophobicity of the adsorbate-carbon system, with
 ionophilic and ionophobic systems exhibiting distinct behaviour concerning
 the electrolyte loading volume. Additionally, the diameter of micropores
 is shown to influence spontaneous electrolyte partitioning behaviour and
 disrupt ion solvation. In situ NMR spectroscopy experiments conducted on a
 working supercapacitor with microporous carbon electrodes and aqueous
 sodium sulphate or aqueous sodium bis(trifluoromethane)sulphonimide
 electrolytes reveals that spontaneous

 electrolyte partitioning behaviour affects the charge-balancing mechanism.
 The findings suggest that spontaneously ionophilic systems favour
 charge-balancing by counter-ion adsorption under an applied voltage, and
 spontaneously ionophobic systems favour a co-ion ejection mechanism under
 an applied potential. Finally, planewave-based electronic density
 functional theory (DFT) simulations were conducted on periodic graphene
 systems, with magnetic shielding parameters calculated using the
 gauge-including projector augmented wave (GIPAW) method. The complexities
 arising from the unique electronic structure of graphene are discussed,
 and the associated convergence challenges in determining magnetic
 shielding values are identified. Converged nucleus-independent chemical
 shift (NICS) values and 13C chemical shifts are presented for both a
 pristine periodic graphene system and a Stone-Wales defected system.

 The work outlined in this thesis provides molecular-level insight into the
 role of electrolyte properties on spontaneous physisorption behaviour and
 charged electrosorption behaviour within microporous carbon electrodes.
