Relevance criterion choices in relation to search progress
Creators: name: Taylor, Art
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Relevance as an information science concept is at the center of human information behavior.  Relevance judgments occur within an information search process, where time, context and situation can impact relevance judgments. The determination of relevance is dependent on a number of factors and variables which include the criteria used to make relevance judgments. Research has shown that relevance judgments are dynamic, varying among user's evaluating the same document, and varying by user for the same document over the course of the information search process. Research has suggested that the criteria used to make these relevance judgments may also be dynamic. Understanding which relevance criteria are chosen and when they are chosen during the information search process can provide important information about the dynamic relevance judgment process and inform the development of information retrieval systems. The purpose of this exploratory research is to examine the importance of the criteria used by searchers to make relevance judgments over the course of an information search process. The goal is to determine if users' choices of criteria, and the importance of those criteria change over the course of an information search process. This research encompasses three separate studies which examined a subject's relevance judgment and the criteria used to make that judgment over the course of an information search process. Subjects were asked to search for information, evaluate documents, and then make relevance judgments for those documents.  They were then asked about their relevance judgment, where they were in their search process when they made that judgment, and which criteria were used to make that judgment. Statistical analysis was used to examine these results. Findings include consistent selections of criteria across three distinct studies, and a statistically significant relationship between criteria choices and stage in the information search process. Sets of criteria choices were also examined and statistically significant relationships between sets of criteria and stage in the information search process were also detected.

Uvitellina titiri

description: U. titiri (Chatterji, 1958) n. comb.
Type host. Spur-winged lapwing or plover, Vanellus spinosus (Linnaeus) (Syn. Haplopterus ventralis [Linnaeus]) (Charadriiformes: Charadriidae).
Type locality. Junshi near Allahabad, Allahabad District, India.
Remarks. This species was originally described as Cyclocoelum titiri Chatteriji, 1958, but was transferred to Wardianum by Yamaguti (1971). It was considered to be a synonym of Haematotrephus lanceolatum (Wedl, 1858) by Gupta (1964). This species has a pretesticular ovary that forms a triangle with the diagonal testes (Haematotrephinae). The genital pore was described by Chatterji (1958) as opening “behind pharynx” (postpharyngeal), but it was shown to be immediately below the intestinal bifurcation in the figure of the adult (apparently Fig. 2). Chatterji (1958) described the vitelline fields as extending “posteriorly to hinder-most ends of the intestinal arch” (confluent). The author also commented that “vitellarium in anterior third of body clearly visible” while some parts were apparently “obscured by uterus”. The vitelline fields appear to be shown as being confluent in Fig. 2, placing this species in Uvitellina. Note that the genital pore placement is unusual for cyclocoelids because it opens below the intestinal bifurcation; however, Chatterji (1958) indicated that the intestinal bifurcation was “much disposed anteriorly”, which may have caused the placement of the genital pore to appear to be more posterior than normal. Rudimentary oral sucker present—Chatterji (1958).

Numerical study of pressure-driven nitrogen flow in long microchannels for application to electronic cooling
Creators: name: Sun, Zhanyu
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Two-dimensional models have been developed to investigate pressure-driven laminar nitrogen slip flow in long rectangular microchannels with characteristic lengths ranging from 1.2[mu]m to 50[mu]m and length-to-height ratios up to 2500. The large length-to-height ratio is taken to measure pressure work and viscous dissipation. Rarefaction is incorporated by modifying the boundary conditions at fluid-solid interfaces. To resolve the intense numerical effort required by the large computational domain and the quasi-steady nature of the problem, a parallel SIMPLER-based solver is developed. The influences of variable properties, rarefaction and source terms in energy equation are investigated particularly for the cases with uniform wall heat flux boundary condition and are found to be far from negligible. The thermal and hydraulic characteristics under isothermal and uniform heat flux wall boundary conditions are extensively examined and discussed for pure convection cases. It is shown that the energy taken up by pressure work is dominant over the energy generation by viscous dissipation. Rarefaction is found to influence Nusselt number in two ways: rarefaction reduces Nusselt number through the heat transfer between the wall and bulk fluid, while promotes Nusselt number by affecting the source terms in energy equation. For microchannels of larger dimensions, it is found that rarefaction effects are still significant. The conjugate heat transfer associated with microchannel slip flows is also studied. It is found that axial conduction gives a great impact on the thermal field for substrates with finite thickness. Finally, unsteady convection is studied for a larger-dimension microchannel, where the characteristic response time is found to be greatly influenced by the energy taken up by pressure work.

description: Every day, humanity benefits from geodesy. Geodesy is the science of measuring the size, shape, orientation and gravity field of our planet and it is a foundation for evidence-based policies, decisions and program delivery. Geodesy is used every day, in the fields of civil engineering, industrial automation, agriculture, construction, mining, financial transactions, intelligent transport systems, disaster response and emergency management, environmental studies and scientific research. Furthermore, geodesy enables accurate collection, management and alignment of nationally integrated geospatial information – a key requirement for societal, environmental and economic activities, the measuring and monitoring of progress of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, the Small Island Developing States Accelerated Modalities of Action (SAMOA) Pathway, and other global, regional and national development agenda and initiatives.

description: Methods and composition for denoising digital camera images are provided herein. The method is based on directly measuring the local statistical structure of natural images in a large training set that has been corrupted with noise mimicking digital camera noise. The measured statistics are conditional means of the ground truth pixel value given a local context of input pixels. Each conditional mean is the Bayes optimal (minimum mean squared error) estimate given the specific local context. The conditional means are measured and applied recursively (e.g., the second conditional mean is measured after denoising with the first conditional mean). Each local context vector consists of only three variables, and hence the conditional means can be measured directly without prior assumptions about the underlying probability distributions, and they can be stored in fixed lookup tables.
Breast cancer mortality
Creators: name: Taylor-Jones, Monica
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Disparities in breast cancer mortality are explored through a complex set of political and economic circumstances. The forms of social injustices derived from inequitable income distribution and through systematically diminishing resources for social programs are central to this research. Quantitative research methods are used to determine if political, economic and demographic factors are associated with breast cancer mortality. Using data from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's: Monitoring the Health Care Safety Net Dataset for States and Counties, the results demonstrate that communities that have hospitals with a major teaching status have an effect on breast cancer mortality. The results also showed that race had a minimal effect on the breast cancer death rate in the presence of political and economic factors. However, these results do not explicitly confirm that breast cancer mortality can be explained from a political and economic perspective or that race determines causality. A qualitative analysis is performed and serves to supplement the quantitative findings.  A case study analysis of four states with high and low income inequality examines if investing in critical resources for a breast cancer screening program could offset mortality. The results did not substantiate that investing in targeted recruitment of selected groups, outreach activities or funding resources results in lower mortality.This research broadens existing scientific perspectives that address the impact of race, culture and poverty on mortality.  The social construction of race and disease impacts program delivery and funding on current breast cancer prevention programs.  Such programs devise behavioral models as a preventative measure.  Programs that integrate political and economic factors could be a crucial determinant to improving breast cancer outcomes.

Regulation of store-operated calcium channel by Mitsugumin29 in skeletal muscle aging
Creators: name: Thornton, Angela M.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: The study of store-operated Ca2+ channel entry (SOCE) and its role in muscle contractility in young and aged skeletal muscle necessitates a thorough knowledge of the Ca2+ signaling from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) that activates SOCE.  Yet, all of the molecular components involved have yet to be fully elucidated, as neither T-tubule voltage sensors, nor SR ryanodine receptor Ca2+ channels, together or independently, are necessary or sufficient for the establishment of a close association between the T-tubule and SR membranes.  Therefore, other protein components must be involved for the formation of triad junctional complexes.  Mitsugumin29 (MG29), a protein localized to the triad junction, may function as a structural component involved in the coupling between the SR and T-tubule, as abnormalities in both T-tubule and SR membranes have been reported in mg29(-/-) mice.  In addition, muscles from these mice share many morphological and functional characteristics with muscle from aged mice, including increased susceptibility to fatigue, defective SR Ca2+ release and defective SOC function.  Either of these may be responsible for the altered Ca2+ signaling in skeletal muscle during exercise and aging.  Our data suggests that SOCE is not merely important for skeletal muscle function in aging; but, it is also required for maintenance of Ca2+ signaling during repetitive stimulation under intensive muscle activity (i.e., fatigue) in the healthy state.  In addition, we propose that SOCE diminishes with age, contributing to the age-associated muscle weakness.  Finally, we find that while SOCE is a functional marker of muscle performance in aging, MG29 is a molecular marker, as SOCE is compromised in aged wild type mice through the decreased expression of MG29.  Therefore, mg29(-/-) mice can serve as an appropriate model for the study of skeletal muscle aging.  Through this project, we have begun to understand the physiological function of SOCE and MG29 and their contribution to muscle contractility in both young and aged mice.

description: "History provides a limited picture of what can happen from tropical cyclones (TCs). Take the example of Port Hedland or Townsville, with limited numbers of close TC impacts, especially in recent decades, where many communities have gone through rapid growth.
How could emergency services in these towns prepare adequately for a major TC strike with no recent experience? How do they know if they have sufficient resources? Will they need to call in resources from other regions or further afield?
In this presentation, we will discuss two parts of this problem – developing plausible scenarios of TCs for use in exercises and then evaluating the impacts of a selection of these events to guide planning and response actions for emergency services.
GA’s Tropical Cyclone Hazard Assessment (TCHA) provides the backbone of impact scenario modelling – a stochastic catalogue of 10,000 years of plausible TC events that users can delve into.
We connect the scenarios to our extensive built environment data collection and the corresponding vulnerability modelling capability to deliver tangible information on the impacts that as-yet unseen events could deliver to communities around our northern coastline.

Learning about military effectiveness

Year: 2009

description: This dissertation tests the relative effectiveness of the Bayesian rational choice, bureaucratic interest, cognitive psychological, and ideational research programs in explaining how observers draw conclusions from the experience of others.  I examine the conclusions reached by members of the armies and navies of Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States about the effectiveness of certain military and naval tactics and armaments during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905.  Drawing on the primary source material generated by accredited observers, official military histories, and professional publications of military officers, and employing learning hypotheses generated by the four contending research programs, I am able to draw conclusions about the use of these research programs for scholars seeking to understand the process and outcomes of vicarious learning.The results of these tests indicate that the ideational research program, which emphasizes culturally constructed and shared heuristics and ideas, is able to explain the most variation in the conclusions drawn by these observers and commentators about the Russo-Japanese War.  The bureaucratic interest based approach does an extremely poor job of explaining these same outcomes.  Both the Bayesian rational choice and the cognitive psychological model show mixed success.  While they are each able to demonstrate some explanatory value, they fail to predict important aspects of the learning experience.  The ideational approach explains all that is explained by the other research programs, as well as much that the other approaches left unexplained.

Tissue engineered braided hybrid fiber scaffold for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Creators: name: Tovar, Nicky
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: The knee joint is the largest and most complex joint in the human body.  Its stability is largely dependent on the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), a dense fibrous connective tissue that attaches the femur to the tibia.  Under high tensile and torsional forces the ACL will tear and does not heal without surgical intervention.  This is due to the low blood supply and ligament retraction from the synovial tissue that envelops a tear.  We explored the potential of a novel ACL reconstructive device composed of a hybrid poly(desaminotyrosyl-tyrosine dodecyl dodecanedioate)(12,10) [p(DTD DD)] and type I bovine collagen fiber scaffold as an alternative to current autograft and allografts techniques.  The three phase process initially tested the fabrication and characterization of p(DTD DD) fibers and compared them to poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA), a common biomaterial.  Data suggested that p(DTD DD) fibers, with their higher strength, lower stiffness, favorable degradation products and comparable cell compatibility, may be a superior alternative to PLLA fibers for development of an ACL reconstructive device.  The second phase tested electron beam (E-beam) sterilized hybrid scaffolds composed of parallel 75% p(DTD DD) and 25% collagen fibers.  Hybrid scaffolds were implanted for up to 4 weeks in the ACL space of New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits.  At 4 weeks there was far more cell infiltration, vascular tissue and granuloma.  Inflammatory cells were concentrated on the outer part of the scaffold, which is the natural repair reaction to surgery and not the implant.  The third phase used a similar scaffold in a braided configuration, a larger sheep model and a longer 12 week time point.  Analysis showed an increase in the amount of cellular infiltration and vascular tissue after 12 weeks.  There was a decrease in the amount of eosinophils and no change in the number of multi nucleated giant cells after 12 weeks.  Cellular infiltration was apparent at the center of the scaffold, which suggests that spacing between fibers is large enough to allow cells to migrate freely throughout the scaffold.  Data suggests there is a definite potential in using a braided hybrid fiber scaffold composed of p(DTD DD) and Collagen as an ACL reconstructive device.

description: The AusAEM survey is the world's largest airborne electromagnetic (AEM) survey flown to date, extending across an area exceeding 3.5 million km2 over Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Queensland, New South Wales Victoria and South Australia. Airborne electromagnetics is a geophysical method at the forefront in addressing the challenge of exploration under cover. In collaboration with the state and territory geological surveys, Geoscience Australia has led a national initiative whose goal is to acquire AEM data at a nominal line spacing of 20 km across Australia. The interpreted AEM conductivity sections were inverted using Geoscience Australia's open source Layered Earth Inversion Sample-By-Sample Time Domain Electromagnetics (GALEISBSTDEM) inversion. Horizontal along-flight line resolution is 12.5 m, and the vertical resolution varies exponentially with depth. Inversion cell sizes increase from 4.0 m at the surface to ~55 m in the bottom cell of the conductivity sections, ~500 m below surface. Consequently, the ability to resolve fine detail varies with depth.
Using this dataset, we interpret the depth to chronostratigraphic surfaces, assembled stratigraphic relationship information, and delineated structural and electrically conductive features. Our results improved understanding of upper-crustal geology, led to 3D mapping of palaeovalleys, prompted further investigation of electrical conductors and their relationship to structural features and mineralisation, and helped us continuously connect correlative outcropping units separated by up to hundreds of kilometres. Our interpretation is designed to improve targeting and outcomes for mineral, energy and groundwater exploration, and contributes to our understanding of the chronostratigraphic, structural and upper-crustal evolution of northern Australia. Almost 200,000 regional depth measurements have been collected, each attributed with detailed geological information, are an important step towards a national geological framework, and offer a regional context for more detailed, smaller-scale AEM surveys.
The AusAEM programme delivers much more than just reliable depth-to-cover estimates and the location of paleochannels. It can reveal basin architecture and regionally map structures, making it a crucial layer of data for mineral, energy and groundwater and exploration. It has become an essential part of data-driven decision making for conservation and environmental management.

Narrating the Italian historical novel
Creators: name: Waters, Sandra A.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: This dissertation examines the relationship between the representation of history and the narrative devices and strategies that authors use to sew their readers deeper into the story in Italian historical novels of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. My theoretical framework builds on the assertion that history as a professional discipline in Europe emerged toward the beginning of the nineteenth century--the same time period in which the historical novel was cementing itself as a legitimate literary genre in Italy. I claim that his tandem emergence of history as a discipline and the historical novel is paralleled in the late twentieth century by their critical denouement, as some theorists of postmodern theory argue that a sense of the end of "official" history permeates the latter part of the twentieth century and continues today.  I argue that this outlook permits us to look backward in time and rethink authoritative history, filling in its previously ignored blank pages.  I demonstrate how nineteenth2 century narrators establish a connection with their readers by deflating conventional authority, and how narrators of contemporary historical novels establish and confirm their narrative authority by claiming that they have none, as they are all marginalized figures in society and in history.  The novels I discuss include Alessandro Manzoni's I promessi sposi, Ippolito Nievo's Le confessioni d'un italiano, Francesco Domenico Guerrazzi's Beatrice Cenci, Anna Banti's Artemisia, Umberto Eco's Il nome della rosa, Luisa Muraro's Guglielmo e Maifreda, Maria Rosa Cutrufelli's La briganta, Sebastiano Vassalli's La chimera, Luther Blissett's Q, and Wu Ming's 54.

description: This seminar will showcase new results from the late Carboniferous to Middle Triassic Cooper Basin that challenge existing notions on its evolution, new insights on sediment dispersal pathways and consequently its resource potential. Topics that will be explored include how the Cooper Basin is similar to other failed rift basins and how depositional facies between each of the half-grabens/troughs are influenced by the relationship between sediment supply and the rate of creation of accommodation. Of note are new precise dates and carbon isotope data from the thick coals of the Patchawarra Formation suggesting prolonged and uninterrupted peat accumulation for millions of years during the latter stages of the late Palaeozoic ice age – no modern analogue exists to compare the conditions and longevity of these ancient mires. Come along to the talk to learn more about the Cooper Basin.
Simplified models for simulating replica exchange simulations and recovering kinetics of protein folding

description: Protein folding is a fundamental problem in modern structural biology. The nature of the problem poses challenges to the understanding of the process viacomputer simulations. One of the challenges in the computer simulation of proteins at the atomic level is the efficiency of sampling conformational space. Replica exchange (RE) methods are widely employed to alleviate the difficulty. To study how to best employ RE to protein folding and binding problems, we constructed a kinetic network model for RE studies of protein folding and used this simplified model to carry out "simulations of simulations" to analyze how the underlying temperature dependence of the conformational kinetics and the basic parameters of RE all interact to affect the number of folding transitions observed. When protein folding follows anti-Arrhenius kinetics, we observe a speed limit for the number of folding transitions observed at the low temperature of interest, which depends on the maximum of the harmonic mean of the folding and unfolding transition rates at high temperature. The efficiency of temperature RE was also studied on a more complicated and realistic continuous two-dimensional potential. Comparison of the efficiencies obtained using the continuous and discrete models makes it possible to identify non-Markovian effects which slow down equilibration of the RE ensemble on the more complex continuous potential. In particular, the efficiency of RE is limited by the timescale of conformational relaxation within free energy basins. The other challenges we are facing in all-atom simulations is to obtain meaningful information on the slow kinetics and pathways of folding. We present a kinetic network model which recover the kinetics using RE-generated states as the nodes of a kinetic network. Choosing the appropriate neighbors and the microscopic rates between the neighbors, the correct kinetics of the system can be recovered by running a simulation on the network.

description: There is significant momentum in Australia to develop a hydrogen production industry. The Australian economy is highly reliant on fossil fuel exports and hydrogen is seen as a pathway to decarbonise Australia’s economy and as a source of ongoing export revenue in future years. Although not readily available in its natural form, hydrogen can be produced as a gas and used for a variety of everyday tasks and industrial uses: heating and cooking, transportation, alternative feedstock in industry, and energy storage. This talk provides a 101 on hydrogen and maps out a vision of hydrogen production in Australia.

description: The Australian Government, through the National Water Infrastructure Development Fund, commissioned Geoscience Australia to undertake a 3-year project ‘Assessing the Status of Groundwater in the Great Artesian Basin’.
The overall aim of the project was to analyse existing and new geoscientific data acquired by the project to improve understanding of the hydrogeological system and water balance in the GAB. In conjunction, the project assessed satellite based technologies for monitoring groundwater storage and level change.
This talk will discuss some of the key results of the project. These include: an updated hydrogeological framework for the GAB, mapping aquifer and aquitard properties, geometry and extent; revised groundwater recharge rate estimates in the eastern GAB groundwater intake beds; new groundwater system conceptual models of groundwater recharge processes and groundwater flow; an assessment of the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite derived groundwater storage change estimates for the GAB; and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) satellite data, for detecting changes in groundwater levels.

A relationship between human shape categorization and the statistics of natural shapes
Creators: name: Wilder, John D. (John David)
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: We studied the classification of shapes into broad natural categories, such as "animal'" and "leaf"', into which many shapes can proceed without overt basic-level recognition. Many shape representation models make implicit assumptions about what shape structures often occur in natural shapes, but such assumptions are not generally closely tied to real-world measurements. In order to tune a model of shape classification to the natural environment we collected statistics from a large database of real animal and leaf shapes; first we calculated the MAP skeletons of these shapes, and then computed several different statistical properties of the skeletons. These statistics allow for the creation of an "ecologically-informed" shape classification model that can generalize of many of the specific structures observed in the two classes. To investigate human shape classification subjects were shown shapes created by taking a weighted average of an animal and a leaf shape, resulting in a novel morphed shape. The task was to classify a shape as animal or leaf. Subjects easily performed this task, and their responses were strongly related to the weight used to averaged the shapes. Next, the classifier was used to obtain the likelihoods that a given morphed shape belonged the each class. These likelihood values are predictive of the subjects' responses, suggesting a relationship between human classification of shapes and the shapes' skeletal structures.

description: A receiver for decoding a communication signal is disclosed. The receiver includes an input port and a filter. The input port receives the communication signal from a communication medium. The communication signal comprises a sequence of symbols. Each symbol of the symbol sequence is an analog pulse that has a leading edge of exponential shape. The exponential shape has an exponential growth parameter value that has been selected from values α0 and α1, which are distinct positive values. For each symbol of the symbol sequence, the exponential growth parameter value for the leading edge of the symbol has been selected based on a corresponding bit from a stream of information bits. The filter receives the communication signal from the input port and filters the communication signal to obtain an output signal. The transfer function of the filter has one or more zeros at α0.

description: Salinity of groundwater directly affects its suitability for different uses, from human consumption, agricultural use, to mineral and energy extraction. Traditionally, direct measurements of groundwater salinity at monitoring bores have been used to create salinity maps. However, drilling is expensive and logistically challenging, while leaving us with a small set of salinity measurements over large areas. Airborne electromagnetic (AEM) surveying provides a cost effective solution to this problem. We have developed a scripted geostatistical methodology, which can be repeated on a computer cluster as new AEM data are acquired or boreholes are drilled. We also provide uncertainties on the knowledge gained, allowing remote communities to manage their land and water resources effectively.
