description: We analyze a rich dataset including Subaru/SuprimeCam, HST/ACS and WFC3, Keck/DEIMOS, Chandra/ACIS-I, and JVLA/C and D array for the merging galaxy cluster ZwCl 0008.8+5215. With a joint Subaru/HST weak gravitational lensing analysis, we identify two dominant subclusters and estimate the masses to be M$_{200}=\text{5.7}^{+\text{2.8}}_{-\text{1.8}}\times\text{10}^{\text{14}}\,\text{M}_{\odot}$ and 1.2$^{+\text{1.4}}_{-\text{0.6}}\times10^{14}$ M$_{\odot}$. We estimate the projected separation between the two subclusters to be 924$^{+\text{243}}_{-\text{206}}$ kpc. We perform a clustering analysis on confirmed cluster member galaxies and estimate the line of sight velocity difference between the two subclusters to be 92$\pm$164 km s$^{-\text{1}}$. We further motivate, discuss, and analyze the merger scenario through an analysis of the 42 ks of Chandra/ACIS-I and JVLA/C and D polarization data. The X-ray surface brightness profile reveals a remnant core reminiscent of the Bullet Cluster. The X-ray luminosity in the 0.5-7.0 keV band is 1.7$\pm$0.1$\times$10$^{\text{44}}$ erg s$^{-\text{1}}$ and the X-ray temperature is 4.90$\pm$0.13 keV. The radio relics are polarized up to 40$\%$. We implement a Monte Carlo dynamical analysis and estimate the merger velocity at pericenter to be 1800$^{+\text{400}}_{-\text{300}}$ km s$^{-\text{1}}$. ZwCl 0008.8+5215 is a low-mass version of the Bullet Cluster and therefore may prove useful in testing alternative models of dark matter. We do not find significant offsets between dark matter and galaxies, as the uncertainties are large with the current lensing data. Furthermore, in the east, the BCG is offset from other luminous cluster galaxies, which poses a puzzle for defining dark matter -- galaxy offsets.

Pale communion: whiteness, masculinity and nationhood in heavy metal scenes in Norway, South Africa and Australia
Creators: name: Hoad, Catherine Sheilagh
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: In response to the current dynamics of the Global Metal model, this thesis draws attention to how whiteness maintains an invisibilised instrumental hegemony within heavy metal, even as research on the genre continues to grow. I address the complex problem of how whiteness is represented in heavy metal scenes and practices, both as a site of academic inquiry and force of cultural significance. I argue that the whiteness and white heteromasculinity of heavy metal emerges in disparate locales as expressions of distinct nationalist projects. This research addresses the national specificity with which whiteness is valorised in heavy metal scenes, and how disparate national identities are tacitly and explicitly tied to white heteromasculine identity. This research maps the matrix of whiteness, masculinity and nationhood through which heavy metal scenes across Norway, South Africa and Australia have produced and defended national identity. I distinguish three key forms of white nationalism-Norway's monstrous nationalism, in which the nation is constructed as terrifying and atavistic; South Africa's resistant nationalism, which responds to post-Apartheid claims of white victimhood; and Australia's banal nationalism, which consecrates mundanity as an authentic national condition. Such constellations of whiteness, masculinity and nationhood have enabled tacit and explicit constructions of exclusionary communities formed through collective memory and territory. These scenes are demonstrative of the ways in which white inflections inform the practices of both heavy metal scenes and the specifically local whitenesses manifest within them.

description: The Fermi Large Area Telescope has detected an extended region of GeV emission toward the Galactic Center that is currently thought to be powered by dark matter annihilation or a population of young and/or millisecond pulsars. In a test of the pulsar hypothesis, we have carried out an initial search of a 20 deg**2 area centered on the peak of the galactic center GeV excess. Candidate pulsars were identified as a compact, steep spectrum continuum radio source on interferometric images and followed with targeted single-dish pulsation searches. We report the discovery of the recycled pulsar PSR 1751-2737 with a spin period of 2.23 ms. PSR 1751-2737 appears to be an isolated recycled pulsar located within the disk of our Galaxy, and it is not part of the putative bulge population of pulsars that are thought to be responsible for the excess GeV emission. However, our initial success in this small pilot survey suggests that this hybrid method (i.e. wide-field interferometric imaging followed up with single dish pulsation searches) may be an efficient alternative strategy for testing whether a putative bulge population of pulsars is responsible for the GeV excess.

The recognition of quartz grown from a melt during static and dynamic conditions
Creators: name: Dey, Joyjit
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Quartz microstructures are routinely used to establish the nature of solid-state deformation mechanisms. However, it is unclear which microstructures are typically developed in a melt present environment compared to a solid state, and how to distinguish between these two. The microstructural features of quartz crystallising from a silicate melt are investigated in a) slowly cooled granite, b-c) statically heated and cooled, and actively deforming migmatites, and d) in a melt-fluxed high strain zone. This study takes a holistic approach integrating microscopic observation along with electron back scatter diffraction (EBSD) and weighted burgers vector (WBV) analysis. Results show quartz pseudomorphing melts pockets forms sub-grain boundaries and shows crystal bending, and change in orientation very similar to a solid-state deformaion. EBSD and WBV analyses identify dislocations on both basal plane and non-basal plane, and identify slip and [c] slip, and sometimes a combination of both. Existence of slip-systems, though without a crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO), suggests the features are dependent on local stresses rather than regional differential stress, and are interpreted to be a result of mineral growth in pore spaces when the melt crystallises. Differences to solid-state deformation microstructures include well connected grains in 3D, lack of CPO, lack of grain shape preferred orientation, and high dauphine twin frequency at grain boundaries.

description: Parametric hypothesis testing associated with two independent samples arises frequently in several applications in biology, medical sciences, epidemiology, reliability and many more. In this paper, we propose robust Wald-type tests for testing such two sample problems using the minimum density power divergence estimators of the underlying parameters. In particular, we consider the simple two-sample hypothesis concerning the full parametric homogeneity of the samples as well as the general two-sample (composite) hypotheses involving nuisance parameters also. The asymptotic and theoretical robustness properties of the proposed Wald-type tests have been developed for both the simple and general composite hypotheses. Some particular cases of testing against one-sided alternatives are discussed with specific attention to testing the effectiveness of a treatment in clinical trials. Performances of the proposed tests have also been illustrated numerically through appropriate real data examples.

description: In many research areas scientists are interested in clustering objects within small datasets while making use of prior knowledge from large reference datasets. We propose a method to apply the machine learning concept of transfer learning to unsupervised clustering problems and show its effectiveness in the field of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq). The goal of scRNA-Seq experiments is often the definition and cataloguing of cell types from the transcriptional output of individual cells. To improve the clustering of small disease- or tissue-specific datasets, for which the identification of rare cell types is often problematic, we propose a transfer learning method to utilize large and well-annotated reference datasets, such as those produced by the Human Cell Atlas. Our approach modifies the dataset of interest while incorporating key information from the larger reference dataset via Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF). The modified dataset is subsequently provided to a clustering algorithm. We empirically evaluate the benefits of our approach on simulated scRNA-Seq data as well as on publicly available datasets. Finally, we present results for the analysis of a recently published small dataset and find improved clustering when transferring knowledge from a large reference dataset. Implementations of the method are available at https://github.com/nicococo/scRNA.

Structures in two dimensional category theory and applications to polynomial functors
Creators: name: Walker, Charles Robert
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis seeks to further develop two-dimensional category theory, with a focus on Yoneda structures, (lax-idempotent) pseudomonads, pseudo-distributive laws, and familial representability, in order to gain new insights and tools in the study of polynomial functors. The first contribution of this thesis concerns Yoneda structures, which give a formalization of the presheaf construction. Our main result shows that any fully faithful lax-idempotent pseudomonad almost gives rise to a Yoneda structure, with all of the axioms holding except for one condition. The second contribution of this thesis concerns pseudo-distributive laws of a pseudomonad and a lax-idempotent pseudomonad. We show that such distributive laws have a simple algebraic description which only requires three out the usual eight coherence conditions, and another simple description in terms of the data of the near-Yoneda structurere covered from the lax-idempotent pseudomonad. Our third contribution is to introduce a class of bicategories, which we term generic bicategories. These are the bicategories for which horizontal composition admits generic factorisations, and have the interesting property that oplax functors out of them have a reduced description, similar to the axioms of a comonad. The fourth contribution of this thesis is to establish the universal properties of the bicategory of polynomials, with general and cartesian 2-cells, using the properties of generic bicategories to avoid the majority of the coherence conditions. In addition, we give a new proof of the universal properties of the bicategory of spans and establish the universal properties of the bicategory of spans with invertible 2-cells. The fifth contribution of this thesis is to give an appropriate notion of familial representability for pseudofunctors L : A - B of bicategories, and to describe an equivalence with an analogue of generic factorisations. This improves on work of Weber, who did not provide such an equivalence, and required A to have a terminal object.

Reconstruction of Economic Governance after Conflict in Resource-rich African Countries: Concepts, Dimensions and Policy Interventions
Creators: name: Wohlmuth, Karl
Publisher: name: Universität Bremen
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: -
subject: 330

description: This study investigates the complex issues of reconstructing economic governance after conflict in resource-rich African countries. The concept of economic governance - although based on the overall concept of governance in developing countries - is important for development, reconstruction and crisis prevention, and in this study the economic core functions and dimensions of governance are elaborated in more detail. This is done by referring to the various conceptual meanings and to the different theoretical backgrounds, so as to come up with an operational term. The economic issues of reconstructing governance after civil war and civil conflict and for preventing and successfully overcoming the resource curse in resource-rich African countries are classified, and the most important policy areas and dimensions are elaborated. Also the sub- regional, provincial and local economic governance issues are presented to highlight the specific problems of economic reconstruction in regions, provinces and localities. This is a necessary step as it is important to see where the resources are located and how the exploitation of resources takes place, thus often leading to severe negative impacts on the local people, the traditional economy and the indigenous society. Public guidance and public action obviously can successfully re-establish economic governance in such countries at the central and local levels if certain conditions are met. These conditions are presented in the study. Obviously a lot can be learned from case studies (such as Nigeria, Sudan, Angola, Democratic Republic of Congo, Cote d'Ivoire, Cameroon, Ethiopia and Ghana).
Speaking to their audiences: a sociohistorical linguistic look at interactional language and women's novels, France and England, 1670-1770
Creators: name: Ruch, Laura Gale
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: "Using principles mainly from interactional sociolinguistics and sociohistorical linguistics, this study has examined fourteen epistolary novels by French and English women, from 1670 to 1770, for language that 'speaks to' audiences in an interactional way. A primary objective was to investigate whether women's novels specifically foster relationships via language use. Five categories of such interactional language emerged: Addressing Audiences with T/V Personal Pronouns, Omission of Openings and Closings in the Letters, Activating Common Ground, Signalling Storytelling, and Invitations to Engage. While the first two categories suggest distinctions between usage in the French and English works, the last three shift the focus to the question of audience position. This shift highlights that the 'participants' in these 'conversations' are engaged not only in the narrator-to-audience and character-to-character relationships identified by Halliday as occurring in fiction, but also in a blended audience position that may allow the external reading audience to 'adopt the mantle' of letter recipient or to otherwise share the letter recipient's 'relationship' with the stories. Not all of the novels offer this third relationship. Some of the novels firmly position the external reading audience as 'outsider', not only to the stories but also to the relationships depicted in them. This finding reflects an apparent development in the genre of epistolary novel, one that codifies distinctions between this genre and that of simply writing letters that are not entirely 'real'. In turn, these findings led not only to links with Bakhtin's theory of the multi-languaged novel but also Habermas' theory regarding the private and public spheres in the period. In fact, this approach to the interactional language of novels may allow pathways to operationalize further research in those directions, and to consider whether there are differences between the relationships fostered via language in novels by women and men." -- Abstract.
Lévy flights in the presence of a point sink of finite strength
Creators: name: Janakiraman, Deepika
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, the absorption of a particle undergoing Lévy flight in the presence of a point sink of arbitrary strength and position is studied. The motion of such a particle is given by a modified Fokker-Planck equation whose exact solution in the Laplace domain can be described in terms of the Laplace transform of the unperturbed (absence of the sink) Green's function. This solution for the Green's function is a well-studied, generic result which applies to both fractional and usual Fokker-Planck equations alike. Using this result, the propagator and the absorption time distribution are obtained for free Lévy flight and Lévy flight in linear and harmonic potentials in the presence of a delta function sink, and their dependence on the sink strength is analyzed. Analytical results are presented for the long-time behaviour of the absorption time distribution in all the three above mentioned potentials. Simulation results are found to corroborate closely with the analytical results.

Russian Labour Market - Institutional Development and Economic Perspectives
Creators: name: Smirnych, Larissa
Publisher: name: Universität Bremen
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: -
subject: 330

description: The paper illuminates major changes which have taken place on Russian labor market during the period of reforms. The author puts an accent on such characteristics of labour market as institutions, employment, wages and compensation. The trends revealed by the researcher testify a cut in employment and an increase in its regional disparities during the reforms. Adapting labour market to structural changes took place because of an enlargement of non-traditional employment, a reduction of the share of wages and compensation in an aggregate income structure, and a growth of wages and compensation differentiation among industries, regions, and specific enterprises. Even though recent reformrelated institutional transformation has come to liberating labour relations, it has not essentially influenced the activity of a majority of Russian enterprises, yet.

However, delays between fresh sample collection and processing may lead to poor data and difficulties in experimental design. RESULTS:This study assesses the effect of cold storage on fresh healthy spleen, esophagus, and lung from ≥ 5 donors over 72 h. We collect 240,000 high-quality single-cell transcriptomes with detailed cell type annotations and whole genome sequences of donors, enabling future eQTL studies. Our data provide a valuable resource for the study of these 3 organs and will allow cross-organ comparison of cell types. We see little effect of cold ischemic time on cell yield, total number of reads per cell, and other quality control metrics in any of the tissues within the first 24 h. However, we observe a decrease in the proportions of lung T cells at 72 h, higher percentage of mitochondrial reads, and increased contamination by background ambient RNA reads in the 72-h samples in the spleen, which is cell type specific. CONCLUSIONS:In conclusion, we present robust protocols for tissue preservation for up to 24 h prior to scRNA-seq analysis. This greatly facilitates the logistics of sample collection for Human Cell Atlas or clinical studies since it increases the time frames for sample processing.

description: We obtained optical spectroscopy of close (< 80 kpc) companion objects of a sample of 12 low redshift quasars (z < 0.3 ) selected from the SDSS Stripe82 area and that are in the subsample of 52 QSOs for which both multicolor host galaxies properties and galaxy environment was recently investigated in detail. We found that for 8 out of 12 sources the companion galaxy is associated to the QSO having a difference of radial velocity that is less than 400 km/s. Many of these associated companions exhibit [OII] $λ$3727 Å~ emission lines suggestive of episodes of (recent) star formation possibly induced by past interactions. The SFR of the companion galaxies as derived from [OII] line luminosity is, however, modest, with a median value of 1.0 +-0.8 M_sun/yr, and the emission lines are barely consistent with expectation from gas ionization by the QSO. The role of the QSO for inducing star formation in close companion galaxies appears meager. For three objects we also detect the starlight spectrum of the QSO host galaxy which is characterized by absorption lines of old stellar population and [OII] emission line.

description: Parkinson's disease has multiple detrimental effects on motor and cognitive systems in the brain. In contrast to motor deficits, cognitive impairments in Parkinson's disease are usually not ameliorated, and can even be worsened, by dopaminergic treatments. Recent evidence has shown potential benefits from restoring other neurotransmitter deficits, including noradrenergic and serotonergic transmission. Here, we study global and regional brain network organization using task-free imaging (also known as resting-state), which minimizes performance confounds and the bias towards predetermined networks. Thirty-three patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease were studied three times in a double-blinded, placebo-controlled counter-balanced crossover design, following placebo, 40 mg oral atomoxetine (selective noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor) or 30 mg oral citalopram (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor). Neuropsychological assessments were performed outside the scanner. Seventy-six controls were scanned without medication to provide normative data for comparison to the patient cohort. Graph theoretical analysis of task-free brain connectivity, with a random 500-node parcellation, was used to measure the effect of disease in placebo-treated state (versus unmedicated controls) and pharmacological intervention (drug versus placebo). Relative to controls, patients on placebo had executive impairments (reduced fluency and inhibitory control), which was reflected in dysfunctional network dynamics in terms of reduced clustering coefficient, hub degree and hub centrality. In patients, atomoxetine improved fluency in proportion to plasma concentration (P = 0.006, r 2 = 0.24), and improved response inhibition in proportion to increased hub Eigen centrality (P = 0.044, r 2 = 0.14). Citalopram did not improve fluency or inhibitory control, but its influence on network integration and efficiency depended on disease severity: clustering (P = 0.01, r 2 = 0.22), modularity (P = 0.043, r 2 = 0.14) and path length (P = 0.006, r 2 = 0.25) increased in patients with milder forms of Parkinson's disease, but decreased in patients with more advanced disease (Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale motor subscale part III > 30). This study supports the use of task-free imaging of brain networks in translational pharmacology of neurodegenerative disorders. We propose that hub connectivity contributes to cognitive performance in Parkinson's disease, and that noradrenergic treatment strategies can partially restore the neural systems supporting executive function.

The Elastic Theory of Shells using Geometric Algebra

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)

description: We present a novel derivation of the elastic theory of shells. We use the language of Geometric algebra, which allows us to express the fundamental laws in component-free form, thus aiding physical interpretation. It also provides the tools to express equations in an arbitrary coordinate system, which enhances their usefulness. The role of moments and angular velocity, and the apparent use by previous authors of an unphysical angular velocity, has been clarified through the use of a bivector representation. In the linearised theory, clarification of previous coordinate conventions which have been the cause of confusion, is provided, and the introduction of prior strain into the linearised theory of shells is made possible.

description: In this paper we revisit the one-dimensional tunnelling problem. We consider different approximations for the transmission through the Coulomb barrier in heavy ion collisions at near-barrier energies. First, we discuss approximations of the barrier shape by functional forms where the transmission coefficient is known analytically. Then, we consider Kemble's approximation for the transmission coefficient. We show how this approximation can be extended to above-barrier energies by performing the analytical continuation of the radial coordinate to the complex plane. We investigate the validity of the different approximations considered in this paper by comparing their predictions for transmission coefficients and cross sections of three heavy ion systems with the corresponding quantum mechanical results.

description: The mechanism responsible for the warp of our Galaxy, as well as its dynamical nature, continues to remain unknown. With the advent of high precision astrometry, new horizons have been opened for detecting the kinematics associated with the warp and constraining possible warp formation scenarios for the Milky Way. The aim of this contribution is to establish whether the first Gaia data release (DR1) shows significant evidence of the kinematic signature expected from a long-lived Galactic warp in the kinematics of distant OB stars. As the first paper in a series, we present our approach for analyzing the proper motions and apply it to the sub-sample of Hipparcos stars. We select a sample of 989 distant spectroscopically-identified OB stars from the New Reduction of Hipparcos, of which 758 are also in Gaia DR1, covering distances from 0.5 to 3 kpc from the Sun. We develop a model of the spatial distribution and kinematics of the OB stars from which we produce the probability distribution functions of the proper motions, with and without the systematic motions expected from a long-lived warp. A likelihood analysis is used to compare the expectations of the models with the observed proper motions from both Hipparcos and Gaia DR1. We find that the proper motions of the nearby OB stars are consistent with the signature of a warp, while those of the more distant stars (parallax<1 mas) are not. The kinematics of our sample of young OB stars suggests that systematic vertical motions in the disk cannot be explained by a simple model of a stable long-lived warp. The Galactic warp may either be a transient feature, or additional phenomena are acting on the gaseous component of the Milky Way, causing systematic vertical motions that are masking the expected warp signal. A larger and deeper sample of stars with Gaia astrometry will be needed to constrain the dynamical nature of the Galactic warp.
