description: We report the mechanisms of production and the state of excitation of the neutral and singly charged monatomic carbon in the regenerative soot as a function of the discharge parameters in graphite hollow cathode (HC) sources. Two distinctly different source configurations have been investigated. Comparisons of the level densities of various charged states of C1 have identified the regenerative properties of the C radicals in graphite HC soot.

Pottery from the late period to the early Roman period from Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt
Creators: name: Patten, Shirley Fay
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis analyses a body of largely unpublished ceramic material from Dakhleh Oasis in the Western Desert of Egypt. The material is primarily from the survey of Dakhleh Oasis and the testing of sites by members of the Dakhleh Oasis Project and, except for some Phase 4 material recovered from excavations at Ismant el-Kharab, is unstratified. It covers a thousand years of Egyptian pottery-making from the eighth century BC to the late second century AD. -- A comprehensive survey of published and unpublished material from other sites in Egypt and adjacent regions has been undertaken to acquire comparative material for the pottery from Dakhleh Oasis. In addition, a study of the technical characteristics of the vessels that have remained accessible has been undertaken to describe and explain ancient pottery practices and to build up a framework for comparative purposes. -- With this body of information, a vessel typology divided into two series, each of which are further divided into two phases, has been devised and the chronology of the vessels determined. This ceramic typology has been used to compare surveyed sites of different utilisation - cemetery, settlement and temple sites - and to establish a dating system for these sites. The resulting chronology will be a guide to the determination of future excavations in the oasis and will assist in the on-going study of the socio-economic development of the oasis. The typology also provides a corpus of pottery for the processing of material from future excavations in Dakhleh Oasis and information for other ceramicists working in Egypt and elsewhere. -- The comparative survey of ceramic material from other sites demonstrates that Dakhleh Oasis, although a remote region in the Western Desert of Egypt, maintained contact with the Nile Valley and more distant areas. It also shows that, while this interaction influenced local pottery styles, the oasis retained and developed its own pottery traditions. -- In addition, a preliminary analysis has been made of fabrics and clays for descriptive purposes and to increase knowledge of the ancient ceramics from the oasis. -- A database has also been built to store and manipulate the information on this extensive body of ceramic material from Dakhleh Oasis. The pottery drawings have been produced in a format readily accessible for electronic transfer to researchers in the field of Egyptian ceramics.

On Secrecy Metrics for Physical Layer Security over Quasi-Static Fading Channels

description: Theoretical studies on physical layer security often adopt the secrecy outage probability as the performance metric for wireless communications over quasi-static fading channels. The secrecy outage probability has two limitations from a practical point of view: a) it does not give any insight into the eavesdropper's decodability of confidential messages; b) it cannot characterize the amount of information leakage to the eavesdropper when an outage occurs. Motivated by the limitations of the secrecy outage probability, we propose three new secrecy metrics for secure transmissions over quasi-static fading channels. The first metric establishes a link between the concept of secrecy outage and the decodability of messages at the eavesdropper. The second metric provides an error-probability-based secrecy metric which is typically used for the practical implementation of secure wireless systems. The third metric characterizes how much or how fast the confidential information is leaked to the eavesdropper. We show that the proposed secrecy metrics collectively give a more comprehensive understanding of physical layer security over fading channels and enable one to appropriately design secure communication systems with different views on how secrecy is measured.

Exploring the feminist wave of higher education in nineteenth century Russia
Creators: name: Nazarov, Michael
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: During the second half of the nineteenth century, Russian society had changed considerably in that it had granted women the opportunity to pursue higher education, initially in Russia and later abroad after the university ban in 1864. Taking inspiration from nihilist literature, such as works by Chernyshevski or Turgenev, as well as feminism, which arose through the expansion of the Enlightenment, Russian women defied the traditional structured role of women as only wives and mothers, and pursued higher education because they believed that with a degree, it would grant them social and economic independence. It is through these actions, I argue, that Russian women have established a feminist wave of female higher education from the eighteen-sixties onwards, which preceded first wave-feminism. There are two reasons for establishing this period as a wave. Firstly, the women who initially studied abroad and received a doctorate, such as Suslova and Bokova, managed to inspire a generation of Russian women to follow in their footsteps. Secondly, the actions of these women after graduation in establishing an academic career, through performing experiments, writing papers, conducting field work or expeditions and teaching, serve as a testament that women were capable of working in an environment that was traditionally designated for men. This dissertation will use rationalism, to explore the motivations of Russian women who studied abroad, and post-structuralism, to explore how traditional nineteenth century Russian society began to change, as a result of Russian women pursuing higher education.

description: Using force as a probe to map the folding landscapes of RNA molecules has become a reality thanks to major advances in single molecule pulling experiments. Although the unfolding pathways under tension are complicated to predict studies in the context of proteins have shown that topology plays is the major determinant of the unfolding landscapes. By building on this finding we study the responses of RNA molecules to force by adapting Gaussian network model (GNM) that represents RNAs using a bead-spring network with isotropic interactions. Cross-correlation matrices of residue fluctuations, which are analytically calculated using GNM even upon application of mechanical force, show distinct allosteric communication as RNAs rupture. The model is used to calculate the force-extension curves at full thermodynamic equilibrium, and the corresponding unfolding pathways of four RNA molecules subject to a quasi-statically increased force.Our study finds that the analysis using GNM captures qualitatively the unfolding pathway of \emph{T}. ribozyme elucidated by the optical tweezers measurement. However, the simple model is not sufficient to capture subtle features, such as bifurcation in the unfolding pathways or the ion effects, in the forced-unfolding of RNAs.

description: Many networks are used to transfer information or goods, in other words, they are navigated. The larger the network, the more difficult it is to navigate efficiently. Indeed, information routing in the Internet faces serious scalability problems due to its rapid growth, recently accelerated by the rise of the Internet of Things. Large networks like the Internet can be navigated efficiently if nodes, or agents, actively forward information based on hidden maps underlying these systems. However, in reality most agents will deny to forward messages, which has a cost, and navigation is impossible. Can we design appropriate incentives that lead to participation and global navigability? Here, we present an evolutionary game where agents share the value generated by successful delivery of information or goods. We show that global navigability can emerge, but its complete breakdown is possible as well. Furthermore, we show that the system tends to self-organize into local clusters of agents who participate in the navigation. This organizational principle can be exploited to favor the emergence of global navigability in the system.

Signal Transmissibility in Marginal Granular Materials
Creators: name: Pinson, Matthew B.
name: Witten, Thomas A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We examine the "transmissibility" of a simulated two-dimensional pack of frictionless disks formed by confining dilute disks in a shrinking, periodic box to the point of mechanical stability. Two opposite boundaries are then removed, thus allowing a set of free motions. Small free displacements on one boundary then induce proportional displacements on the opposite boundary. Transmissibility is the ability to distinguish different perturbations by their distant responses. We assess transmissibility by successively identifying free orthonormal modes of motion that have the {\em smallest} distant responses. The last modes to be identified in this "pessimistic" basis are the most transmissive. The transmitted amplitudes of these most transmissive modes fall off exponentially with mode number. Similar exponential falloff is seen in a simple elastic medium, though the responsible modes differ greatly in structure in the two systems. Thus the marginal pack's transmissibility is qualitatively similar to that of a simple elastic medium. We compare our results with recent findings based on the projection of the space of free motion onto interior sites.

K-pop: its social and spatial influence on the Tokyo cityscape
Creators: name: Phillips, Kathryn
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis examines the influence and effect of K-pop (Korean Popular Music) on the Tokyo cityscape and how Tokyo residents’ react to the ongoing consumption of the genre and its related commodities. Using participant observation, a pilot survey and interview data collected through ethnographic fieldwork, I argue that K-pop is normalised within the cityscape using previously embedded neoliberal practices. I also demonstrate that K-pop and the broader Korean wave have transformed Shin-Ōkubo — a previously-established “Koreatown” — into a K-pop sakariba (amusement district). This sakariba has become pivotal to the construction of a Korean Wave subculture that I call the “Kanryū lifestyle”, which I conceptualise via Bourdieu’s sociological theories of habitus and taste. Finally, I suggest that non-consumers attempt to manage identity boundaries in relation to K-pop consumption and the Kanryū lifestyle by maintaining its exceptionality through nihonjinron beliefs and attitudes, often used to defend the idea of a unique and homogenous Japan. Together, this study argues that while non-consuming Tokyo residents may attempt to minimise K-pop and the Kanryū lifestyle’s influence in order to regulate their own identities, K-pop’s adoption of Japan’s neoliberal consumption practices means that it continues to become normalised both socially and spatially within the cityscape.
Investigating the X-ray time-lags in PG 1244+026 using an extended corona model

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: We present an extended corona model based on ray-tracing simulations to investigate X-ray time lags in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). This model consists of two axial point sources illuminating an accretion disc that produce the reverberation lags. These lags are due to the time delays between the directly observed and reflection photons and are associated with the light-travel time between the source and the disc, so they allow us to probe the disc-corona geometry. We assume the variations of two X-ray sources are triggered by the same primary variations, but allow the two sources to respond in different ways (i.e. having different source responses). The variations of each source induce a delayed accretion disc response and the total lags consist of a combination of both source and disc responses. We show that the extended corona model can reproduce both the low-frequency hard and high-frequency soft (reverberation) lags. Fitting the model to the timing data of PG~1244+026 reveals the hard and soft X-ray sources at $\sim6r_{\text{g}}$ and $\sim11r_{\text{g}}$, respectively. The upper source produces small amounts of reflection and can be interpreted as a relativistic jet, or outflowing blob, whose emission is beamed away from the disc. This explains the observed lag-energy in which there is no soft lag at energies $<1$~keV as they are diluted by the soft continuum of the upper source. Finally, our models suggest that the fluctuations propagating between the two sources of PG~1244+026 are possible but only at near the speed of light.

description: (abridged) The fairly recent detection of a variety of anions in the Interstellar Molecular Clouds have underlined the importance of realistically modeling the processes governing their abundance. To this aim, our earlier calculations for the radiative electron attachment (REA) rates for C4H-, C6H-, and C8H- are employed to generate the corresponding column density ratios of anion/neutral (A/N) relative abundances. The latter are then compared with those obtained from observational measurements. The calculations involved the time-dependent solutions of a large network of chemical processes over an extended time interval and included a series of runs in which the values of REA rates were repeatedly scaled. Macroscopic parameters for the clouds' modeling were also varied to cover a broad range of physical environments. It was found that, within the range and quality of the processes included in the present network,and selected from state-of-the-art astrophysical databases, the REA values required to match the observed A/N ratios needed to be reduced by orders of magnitude for C4H- case, while the same rates for C6H- and C8H- only needed to be scaled by much smaller factors. The results suggest that the generally proposed formation of interstellar anions by REA mechanism is overestimated by current models for the C4H- case, for which is likely to be an inefficient path to formation. This path is thus providing a rather marginal contribution to the observed abundances of C4H-, the latter being more likely to originate from other chemical processes in the network, as we discuss in some detail in the present work.Possible physical reasons for the much smaller differences against observations found instead for the values of the (A/N) ratios in two other, longer members of the series are put forward and analyzed within the evolutionary modeling discussed in the present work.

description: We investigate the approximation of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions over function fields by truncations of their Euler products. We first establish representations for such $L$-functions as products over prime polynomials times products over their zeros. This is the hybrid formula in function fields. We then prove that partial Euler products are good approximations of an $L$-function away from its zeros, and that, when the length of the product tends to infinity, we recover the original $L$-function. We also obtain explicit expressions for the arguments of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions over function fields and for the arguments of their partial Euler products. In the second part of the paper we construct, for each quadratic Dirichlet $L$-function over a function field, an auxiliary function based on the approximate functional equation that equals the $L$-function on the critical line. We also construct a parametrized family of approximations of these auxiliary functions, prove the Riemann hypothesis holds for them, and that their zeros are related to those of the associated $L$-function. Finally, we estimate the counting function for the zeros of this family of approximations, show that these zeros cluster near those of the associated $L$-function, and that, when the parameter is not too large, almost all the zeros of the approximations are simple.

description: Models based on the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process have become standard for the comparative study of adaptation. Cooper et al. (2016) have cast doubt on this practice by claiming statistical problems with fitting Ornstein–Uhlenbeck models to comparative data. Specifically, they claim that statistical tests of Brownian motion may have too high Type I error rates and that such error rates are exacerbated by measurement error. In this note, we argue that these results have little relevance to the estimation of adaptation with Ornstein–Uhlenbeck models for three reasons. First, we point out that Cooper et al. (2016) did not consider the detection of distinct optima (e.g. for different environments), and therefore did not evaluate the standard test for adaptation. Second, we show that consideration of parameter estimates, and not just statistical significance, will usually lead to correct inferences about evolutionary dynamics. Third, we show that bias due to measurement error can be corrected for by standard methods. We conclude that Cooper et al. (2016) have not identified any statistical problems specific to Ornstein–Uhlenbeck models, and that their cautions against their use in comparative analyses are unfounded and misleading.

description: New model of the pinning potential barrier in multi-layered HTc superconductors has been presented, basing on geometrical approach to the capturing interaction of pancake type vortices with nano-scale defects. Using this model the transport current flow phenomena in these materials, especially current-voltage characteristics and critical current density, have been considered. Details of theoretical analysis are given, including derivation of basic mathematical equations describing the potential barrier in the function of transport current density and initial position of captured pancake vortex. Computer simulation has been performed then of influence of transport current amplitude on potential barrier height for various sizes of pinning centers and initial pancake vortex position as well as influence of fast neutrons irradiation on critical current of HTc layered superconductor.

Data for this research derive primarily from ethnographic participant-observation, and include tape-recorded interviews with Hare Krishna informants as well as ISKCON literature collected during fieldwork. -- Analysis focuses on Hare Krishna techniques (saddhana, or yoga) of religious transformation, including physical, aesthetic, and discursive practices involved in the pursuit of spiritual realisation in ISKCON. Conversion, mimesis, and translation are the three key conceptual themes which inform a critical analysis of the production and effect of cultural difference in Hare Krishna spiritual practice. Ethnicity and conversion emerge as parallel concerns as the involvement of diasporic Indian and Indo-Fijian Hindus at the congregational level of ISKCON's ministry in Sydney, Australia, is examined for its effect on Western converts' experiences of Krishna Consciousness. A new conceptual approach to the meaning of 'conversion' to ISKCON is developed from this account. -- Recent sectarian developments in ISKCON's relationship with the Indian tradition of Gaudiya-Vaisnavism are also examined within a comparative theological framework. Hagiographic practices surrounding ISKCON's Bengali founder, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (1896-1977), and textual practices surrounding the founder's translations of Vaisnavite scripture, are both analysed as core features of Hare Krishna spirituality. The theological significance of these practices is directly correlated with recent sectarian tensions between ISKCON and the Indian tradition.

description: Introduction: The Russian invasion of Ukraine and the resulting consequences are in the center of political discussions, media, and likely individual thinking of the population in Germany. Yet, the impact of this prolonged exposure on mental health is not known hitherto. Methods: Using the population based cohort study DigiHero from three federal states (Saxony-Anhalt, Saxony, and Bavaria), we assessed anxiety levels (GAD-7), depressive symptoms (PHQ-9), and distress (modified PDI) in the first weeks of war and 6 months later. Results: Of those 19,432, who responded in the first weeks of war, 13,934 (71.1%) responded also 6 months later. While anxiety and emotional distress decreased during the 6 months, their average scores were still elevated, and a substantial fraction of respondents displayed clinically relevant sequelae. Persons from low-income households were especially affected, specifically by fears related to the personal financial situation. Those who reacted with a particularly strong fear in the beginning of war were more likely to have persistent clinically relevant symptoms of depression and anxiety also 6 months later. Discussion: The Russian invasion of Ukraine is accompanied by continuing impairment of mental health in the German population. Fears surrounding the personal financial situation are a strong determinant.

description: Evaluation of dairy cow exposure to DON can generally be managed through analyses of feed or physiological specimens for DON residues. The latter enables a diagnosis not only on an individual basis but also on a herd basis. For this purpose, on the basis of published data, linear regression equations were derived for blood, urine, milk, and bile relating DON residue levels as predictor variables to DON exposure. Amongst the matrices evaluated, blood was identified to reflect the inner exposure to DON most reliably on toxicokinetic backgrounds, which was supported by a linear relationship between DON residues in blood and DON exposure. On the basis of this, and because of extended blood data availability, the derived regressions were validated using internal and external data, demonstrating a reasonable concordance. For all matrices evaluated, the ultimately recommended linear regression equations intercepted the origin and enabled the prediction of the DON exposure to be expected within the prediction intervals. DON exposure (µg/kg body weight/d) can be predicted by multiplying the DON residues (ng/mL) in blood by 2.52, in urine by 0.022, and in milk by 2.47. The span of the prediction intervals varied according to the dispersion of the observations and, thus, also considered apparent outliers that were not removed from the datasets. The reasons were extensively discussed and included toxicokinetic aspects. In addition, the suggestions for sample size estimation for future characterization of the mean exposure level of a given herd size were influenced by expectable variation in the data. It was concluded that more data are required for all specimens to further qualify the preliminary prediction equations.

description: This paper is concerned with the construction of algebraic geometric codes defined from Kummer extensions. It plays a significant role in the study of such codes to describe bases for the Riemann-Roch spaces associated with totally ramified places. Along this line, we give an explicit characterization of Weierstrass semigroups and pure gaps. Additionally, we determine the floor of a certain type of divisor introduced by Maharaj, Matthews and Pirsic. Finally, we apply these results to find multi-point codes with good parameters. As one of the examples, a presented code with parameters $ [254,228,\geqslant 16] $ over $ \mathbb{F}_{64} $ yields a new record.

description: Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a flood of—often contradictory—evidence. HCWs had to develop strategies to locate information that supported their work. We investigated the information-seeking of different HCW groups in Germany. Methods: In December 2020, we conducted online surveys on COVID-19 information sources, strategies, assigned trustworthiness, and barriers—and in February 2021, on COVID-19 vaccination information sources. Results were analyzed descriptively; group comparisons were performed using 𝜒2-tests. Results: For general COVID-19-related medical information (413 participants), non-physicians most often selected official websites (57%), TV (57%), and e-mail/newsletters (46%) as preferred information sources—physicians chose official websites (63%), e-mail/newsletters (56%), and professional journals (55%). Non-physician HCWs used Facebook/YouTube more frequently. The main barriers were insufficient time and access issues. Non-physicians chose abstracts (66%), videos (45%), and webinars (40%) as preferred information strategy; physicians: overviews with algorithms (66%), abstracts (62%), webinars (48%). Information seeking on COVID-19 vaccination (2700 participants) was quite similar, however, with newspapers being more often used by non-physicians (63%) vs. physician HCWs (70%). Conclusion: Non-physician HCWs more often consulted public information sources. Employers/institutions should ensure the supply of professional, targeted COVID-19 information for different HCW groups.
Service provisioning from resource constrained mobile devices

description: The primary goal of this thesis is to investigate how the service-oriented architecture can be extended to mobile environments, facilitating resource constrained mobile devices to host services. With the advances in mobile devices and wireless communications, the opportunities to run resource-demanding applications on the mobile devices are growing. The increasing processing power, storage and support of multiple network interfaces enable the mobile devices to host services and participate in service discovery networks. These characteristics facilitate that mobile devices can act both as service consumers and service providers. Besides, roaming of mobile devices across wireless networks provides nomadic characteristics to the service providers to be available anytime and anywhere. As in web services architecture, service consumers and providers are loosely coupled and dynamically bound; this architecture is especially advantageous for the frequently changing mobile environments. -- Nevertheless, service provisioning from mobile devices is challenging, as the resources are far more constrained compared to the Internet servers that are originally targeted for web services technologies. Mobile devices have limited processing power and memory space; and suffer from lower bandwidths, higher error rates, and frequent disconnections compared to fixed networks. A few efforts have been taken to verify the feasibility of provisioning web services from mobile devices. However, they have not addressed the issue about how to host heavy-duty services on resource-constrained mobile devices with limited processing power, memory space, and transmission bandwidth. -- This thesis attempts to overcome the issues by introducing a framework which partitions the workload of resource-demanding services involving complex business processes and keeps the web service interfaces on mobile devices. The framework effectively leverages the capability of mobile devices, by offloading the partitioned computing load to resource-rich surrogates. Therefore, the mobile device works as the integration point with the support of surrogate nodes and other web services. The functions that require the resources of the mobile device or interaction with the mobile user are executed locally. -- The framework introduces an efficient partitioning approach for execution offloading from resource constrained mobile devices. The proposed approach considers the dynamic status of the resources of a mobile device to partition the tasks effectively. The framework provides a distributed platform for executing services, which adaptively offloads by considering both the interaction properties and the resource consumption of the tasks. The designed framework is analyzed using prototype experiments and the results have shown the effectiveness and efficiency of the approach in provisioning heavy-duty services from resource constrained mobile devices.

description: Kinästhetik die "Lehre von der Bewegungsempfindung", wurde erstmals Anfang der 1970er Jahre vom Tänzer, Choreographen und Verhaltenskybernetiker Dr. Frank Hatch als kreatives Tanz-, Selbsterfahrungs-und Bewegungsprogramm an mehreren amerikanischen Universitäten unterrichtet. Kinästhetik-Kurse zielen darauf ab, die Bewegungsempfindung zu nutzen, um die eigenen Bewegungsfähigkeiten besser zu verstehen und zu erweitern. Seit 1974 werden auch im deutschen Sprachraum regelmäßig Kinästhetik-Kurse mit verschiedenen thematischen Schwerpunktsetzungen abgehalten (Geburtshilfe, Infant Handling, Eltern & Kinder mit und ohne Handicap, Bewegungspädagogik / -therapie, Kreatives Lernen, Gesundheits-und Krankenpflege, OP-Bereich, Lehrende in Gesundheitsberufen, Gesundheit am Arbeitsplatz, Hauswirtschaft und Reinigung, Bewegung im Büro, Alltagsbewegung im Alter, pflegende Angehörige, Führungskräfte). Die weiteste Verbreitung fand die Kinästhetik bislang in der Gesundheits-und Krankenpflege, wo sie mittlerweile zum Ausbildungsstandard gehört. Der Erfolg der Kinästhetik im Pflegebereich lässt sich vor allem auf zwei Umstände zurückführen: auf die branchenspezifisch signifikante Häufung muskuloskelettaler Erkrankungen bei Pflegepersonen und den Bedarf an bewegungsbezogenen Gesundheitsförderungs-Konzepten in der Pflege. Das Kommunikations-und Lernsystem Kinästhetik, in dem die Wahrnehmung der eigenen Bewegung das zentrale Medium darstellt, vermittelt allgemein gültige, übertragbare Aspekte menschlicher Bewegung. Kinästhetik in der Pflege ist daher ein Beitrag zur Entwicklung der Handlungs-und Bewegungsfähigkeiten, sowohl der Pflegenden, als auch der PatientInnen, und bietet für beide Seiten einen konkreten Handlungsansatz zur Gesundheitsentwicklung.
