Applied and collaborative? Essays on the changing nature of corporate scientific research
Creators: name: Bignone, Federico
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Corporate science, intended as scientific research conducted by business companies, is a key input to innovation worldwide. Some recent evidence has documented its quantitative decline since its heyday in the late 1960s, as measured by the shrinking share of scientific publications by business-affiliated authors, mostly due to the downsizing or closure of large corporate laboratories. This thesis complements this evidence, showing that firms are not disengaging from scientific research but are changing their organisation by moving from vertically integrated R&D activities towards a more dynamic system of applied in-house research and collaborations with universities.

description: Let the group $G$ act transitively on the finite set $Ω$, and let $S \subseteq G$ be closed under taking inverses. The Schreier graph $Sch(G \circlearrowleft Ω,S)$ is the graph with vertex set $Ω$ and edge set $\{ (ω,ω^s) : ω\in Ω, s \in S \}$. In this paper, we show that random Schreier graphs on $C \log|Ω|$ elements exhibit a (two-sided) spectral gap with high probability, magnifying a well known theorem of Alon and Roichman for Cayley graphs. On the other hand, depending on the particular action of $G$ on $Ω$, we give a lower bound on the number of elements which are necessary to provide a spectral gap. We use this method to estimate the spectral gap when $G$ is nilpotent.

description: Radiotherapy inverse planning often requires planners to modify parameters in the treatment planning system's objective function to produce clinically acceptable plans. Due to the manual steps in this process, plan quality can vary depending on the planning time available and the planner's skills. This study investigates two hyperparameter-tuning methods for automated inverse planning. Because this framework does not train a model on previously-optimized plans, it can be readily adapted to practice pattern changes, and plan quality is not limited by that of a training cohort. We selected 10 patients who received lung SBRT using manually-generated clinical plans. We used random sampling (RS) and Bayesian optimization (BO) to tune parameters using linear-quadratic utility functions based on 11 clinical goals. Normalizing all plans to have PTV D95 equal to 48 Gy, we compared plan quality for the automatically-generated and manually-generated plans. We also investigated the impact of iteration count on the automatically-generated plans, comparing planning time and plan utility for RS and BO plans with and without stopping criteria. Without stopping criteria, the median planning time was 1.9 and 2.3 hours for RS and BO plans. The OAR doses in the RS and BO plans had a median percent difference (MPD) of 48.7% and 60.4% below clinical dose limits and an MPD of 2.8% and 3.3% below clinical plan doses. With stopping criteria, the utility decreased by an MPD of 5.3% and 3.9% for RS and BO plans, but the median planning time was reduced to 0.5 and 0.7 hours, and the OAR doses still had an MPD of 42.9% and 49.7% below clinical dose limits and an MPD of 0.3% and 1.8% below clinical plan doses. This study demonstrates that hyperparameter-tuning approaches to automated inverse planning can reduce active planning time with plan quality that is similar to or better than manually-generated plans.

description: Charge transfer (CT) insulators are the parent phase of a large group of today's unconventional high-temperature superconductors. Here we study experimentally and theoretically the interband excitations of the CT insulator silver fluoride AgF$_2$, which has been proposed as an excellent analogue of oxocuprates. Optical conductivity and resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) on AgF$_2$ polycrystalline sample show a close similarity with that measured on undoped La$_2$CuO$_4$. While the former shows a CT gap $\sim$3.4 eV, larger than in the cuprate, $dd$ excitations are nearly at the same energy in the two materials. DFT and exact diagonalization cluster computations of the multiplet spectra show that AgF$_2$ is more covalent than the cuprate, in spite of the larger fundamental gap. Furthermore, we show that AgF$_2$ is at the verge of a charge transfer instability. The overall resemblance of our data on AgF$_2$ to those published previously on La$_2$CuO$_4$ suggests that the underlying CT insulator physics is the same, while AgF$_2$ could also benefit from a proximity to a charge density wave phase as in BaBiO$_3$. Therefore, our work provides a compelling support to the future use of fluoroargentates for materials' engineering of novel high-temperature superconductors.

description: Background Although some women experience anger as a mood problem after childbirth, postpartum anger has been neglected by researchers. Mothers’ and infants’ poor sleep quality during the postpartum period has been associated with mothers’ depressive symptoms; however, links between mothers’ sleep quality and postpartum anger are unclear. This study aimed to determine proportions of women with intense anger, depressive symptoms, and comorbid intense anger and depressive symptoms, and to examine mothers’ and infants’ sleep quality as correlates of postpartum anger. Methods This cross-sectional survey study was advertised as an examination of mothers’ and babies’ sleep. Women, with healthy infants between 6 and 12 months of age, were recruited using community venues. The survey contained validated measures of sleep quality for mothers and infants, and fatigue, social support, anger, depressive symptoms, and cognitions about infant sleep. Results 278 women participated in the study. Thirty-one percent of women (n = 85) reported intense anger (≥ 90th percentile on State Anger Scale) while 26% (n = 73) of mothers indicated probable depression (>12 on Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale). Over half of the participants rated their sleep as poor (n = 144, 51.8%). Using robust regression analysis, income (β = -0.11, p < 0.05), parity (β = 0.2, p < 0.01), depressive symptoms (β = 0.22, p < 0.01), and mothers’ sleep quality (β = 0.10, p < 0.05), and anger about infant sleep (β = 0.25, p < 0.01) were significant predictors of mothers’ anger. Conclusions Mothers’ sleep quality and anger about infant sleep are associated with their state anger. Clinicians can educate families about sleep pattern changes during the perinatal time frame and assess women’s mood and perceptions of their and their infants’ sleep quality in the first postpartum year. They can also offer evidence-based strategies for improving parent-infant sleep. Such health promotion initiatives could reduce mothers’ anger and support healthy sleep.

description: In Australia, cycling-related injuries represent 16% of all road injuries, with more than half causing head injuries, indicating inadequate safety measure. Helmets serve as the primary defense against blunt trauma. However, Expanded Polystyrene foam helmets, predominant in the market, despite reducing serve head injury risk by 75%, have limited impact absorption efficiency, failing to notably decrease mild traumatic brain injury. Inspired by the pomelo fruit, a novel liquid helmet liner, comprising shear thickening fluid-filled cellular structure with high energy absorption, offers a promising alternative to conventional helmet, potentially providing better protection against head injuries.

description: This paper presents a closed-form approach to constrain a flow within a given volume and around objects. The flow is guaranteed to converge and to stop at a single fixed point. We show that the obstacle avoidance problem can be inverted to enforce that the flow remains enclosed within a volume defined by a polygonal surface. We formally guarantee that such a flow will never contact the boundaries of the enclosing volume and obstacles, and will asymptotically converge towards an attractor. We further create smooth motion fields around obstacles with edges (e.g. tables). Both obstacles and enclosures may be time-varying, i.e. moving, expanding and shrinking. The technique enables a robot to navigate within an enclosed corridor while avoiding static and moving obstacles. It was applied on an autonomous robot (QOLO) in a static complex indoor environment, and also tested in simulations with dense crowds. The final proof of concept was performed in an outdoor environment in Lausanne. The QOLO-robot successfully traversed a marketplace in the center of town in presence of a diverse crowd with a non-uniform motion pattern.

Type locality: Zambia, Solwezi
 Despite the extensive sampling in north-western Zambia by ANHRT, this species has not been found and is seemingly rare. It is believed to be known only from the male holotype and a pair of paratypes in NHMUK. This taxon is quite unlike any other Hypotrabala with straight bilineate antemedial and postmedial fasciae, and lack of a forewing discal spot. The holotype is missing its abdomen and may have been dissected at some stage but lacks a corresponding slide or vial number (Fig. 58). The paratype male has had the right-hand set of wings removed and de-scaled, and it has been dissected as stated in the original description (Fig. 59); the corresponding slide (Fig. 90) conserves a genital capsule of the Hypotrabala ground-plan, and the eighth sternite which is not unlike that figured by Tams (1953: Fig. 13). It is assumed that this slide is correctly labelled (see above) with a caveat that dissections of other specimens are needed for confirmation.

description: The description of dynamics of strongly correlated quantum matter is a challenge, particularly in physical situations where a quasiparticle description is absent. In such situations, however, the many-body Kubo formula from linear response theory, involving matrix elements of the current operator computed with many-body wavefunctions, remains valid. Working directly in the many-body Hilbert space and not making any reference to quasiparticles (or lack thereof), we address the puzzle of linear in temperature ($T$-linear) resistivity seen in non-Fermi liquid phases that occur in several strongly correlated condensed matter systems. We derive a simple criterion for the occurrence of $T$-linear resistivity based on an analysis of the contributions to the many-body Kubo formula, determined by an energy invariant "$f$-function" involving current matrix elements and energy eigenvalues that describes the DC conductivity of the system in the microcanonical ensemble. Using full diagonalization, we test this criterion for the $f$-function in the spinless nearest neighbor Hubbard model and in a system of Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev dots coupled by weak single particle hopping. We also study the $f$-function for the spin conductivity in the 2D Heisenberg model and arrive at similar conclusions. Our work suggests that a general principle, formulated in terms of many-body Hilbert space concepts, is at the core of the occurrence of $T$-linear resistivity in a wide range of systems, and precisely translates $T$-linear resistivity into a notion of energy scale invariance far beyond what is typically associated with quantum critical points.

description: Plasma lipids are carried within lipoproteins with various apolipoprotein content. This study evaluates the interest of measuring the apolipoproteins of circulating lipoproteins in breast cancer. Patients with early-stage breast cancer (n = 140) were included. Tumors differed by the expression of estrogen and progesterone receptor (HR− and HR+ for negative and positive expression) and the proliferation marker Ki-67 (≤20% or ≥30%). Apolipoprotein concentrations were determined in plasma, HDL and non-HDL fractions, and results are given in mg/dL, median (25th–75th). Patients did not differ in their plasma and lipoprotein lipid concentrations. HDL apoC-I and non-HDL apoC-II were reduced (1.34 (1.02–1.80) vs. 1.61 (1.32–2.04), p = 0.04; 0.31 (0.18–0.65) vs. 0.63 (0.39–1.02), p = 0.01; respectively), in RH-/high Ki-67 patients in comparison to RH-/low Ki-67 patients, while plasma apoD and HDL apoD were higher (3.24 (2.99–4.16) vs. 3.07 (2.39–3.51), p = 0.04; 2.74 (2.36–3.35) vs. 2.45 (2.01–2.99), p = 0.04; respectively). When RH+/high Ki-67 patients were compared with RH+/low Ki-67 patients, HDL apoC-I and HDL apoC-III were higher (1.56 (1.20–1.95) vs. 1.35 (1.10–1.62), p = 0.02; 2.80 (2.42–3.64) vs. 2.38 (1.69–2.96), p = 0.02; respectively). The distribution of exchangeable apolipoproteins, such as apoC-I, apoC-II, apoC-III, apoD, between lipoproteins is linked to the severity of breast cancer.

description: We study the inclusion of $\mathcal O(1/Λ^4)$ effects in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory in fits to the current Drell-Yan data at the LHC. Our analysis includes the full set of dimension-6 and dimension-8 operators contributing to the dilepton process, and is performed to next-to-leading-order in the QCD coupling constant at both $\mathcal O(1/Λ^2)$ and $\mathcal O(1/Λ^4)$. We find that the inclusion of dimension-6 squared terms and certain dimension-8 operators has significant effects on fits to the current data. Neglecting them leads to bounds on dimension-6 operators off by large factors. We find that dimension-8 four-fermion operators can already be probed to the several-TeV level by LHC results, and that their inclusion significantly changes the limits found for dimension-6 operators. We discuss which dimension-8 operators should be included in fits to the LHC data. Only a manageable subset of two-derivative dimension-8 four-fermion operators need to be included at this stage given current LHC uncertainties.

description: Material elements - which are lines, surfaces, or volumes behaving as passive, non-diffusive markers - provide an inherently geometric window into the intricate dynamics of chaotic flows. Their stretching and folding dynamics has immediate implications for mixing in the oceans or the atmosphere, as well as the emergence of self-sustained dynamos in astrophysical settings. Here, we uncover robust statistical properties of an ensemble of material loops in a turbulent environment. Our approach combines high-resolution direct numerical simulations of Navier-Stokes turbulence, stochastic models, and dynamical systems techniques to reveal predictable, universal features of these complex objects. We show that the loop curvature statistics become stationary through a dynamical formation process of high-curvature folds, leading to distributions with power-law tails whose exponents are determined by the large-deviations statistics of finite-time Lyapunov exponents of the flow. This prediction applies to advected material lines in a broad range of chaotic flows. To complement this dynamical picture, we confirm our theory in the analytically tractable Kraichnan model with an exact Fokker-Planck approach.

description: The radius of maximum wind ($R_{max}$) in a hurricane governs the footprint of hazards, particularly damaging wind and rainfall. However, $R_{max}$ is noisy to observe directly and is poorly resolved in reanalyses and climate models. In contrast, outer wind radii are much less sensitive to such issues. Here we present a simple empirical model for predicting $R_{max}$ from the radius of 34-kt wind ($R_{17.5ms}$) that only requires as input quantities that are routinely estimated operationally: maximum wind speed, $R_{17.5ms}$, and latitude. The form of the empirical model takes advantage of our physical understanding of hurricane radial structure and is trained on the Extended Best Track database from the North Atlantic; results are similar for the TC-OBS database. The physics reduces the relationship between the two radii to a dependence on two physical parameters, while the observational data enables an optimal estimate of the quantitative dependence on those parameters. The model performs substantially better than existing operational methods for estimating $R_{max}$. The model reproduces the observed statistical increase in $R_{max}$ with latitude and demonstrates that this increase is driven by the increase in $R_{17.5ms}$ with latitude. Overall, the model offers a simple and fast first-order prediction of $R_{max}$ that can be used operationally and in risk models.

description: In the paper we deal with ballistic heat transport in a graphene lattice subjected to a point heat source. It is assumed that a graphene sheet is suspended under tension in a viscous gas. We use the model of a harmonic polyatomic (more exactly diatomic) lattice performing out-of-plane motions. The dynamics of the lattice is described by an infinite system of stochastic ordinary differential equations with white noise in the right-hand side, which models the point heat source. On the base of the previous analytical unsteady analysis an analytical formula in continuum approximation is suggested, which allows one to describe a steady-state kinetic temperature distribution in the graphene lattice in continuum approximation. The obtained solution is in a good agreement with numerical results obtained for the discrete system everywhere excepting a neighbourhood of six singular rays with the origin at the heat source location. The continuum solution becomes singular at these rays, unlike the discrete one, which appears to be localized in a certain sense along the rays. The factors, which cause such a directional localization and the mismatch between the continuum and discrete solutions are discussed. We expect that the suggested formula is applicable for various damped polyatomic lattices where all particles have equal masses in the case of universal for all particles external viscosity.

The tip of the abdomen of the holotype in NHMUK is missing and was presumably dissected but lacks a corresponding slide or vial number. A specimen matching the holotype from D.R. Congo in ANHRT (Fig. 22) displays a not dissimilar eighth sternite to that figured by Tams (1953: Fig. 15) and is here treated as being conspecific although further material is required for confirmation.

description: In superconducting quantum circuits (SQCs), chiral routing quantum information is often realized with the ferrite circulators, which are usually bulky, lossy and require strong magnetic fields. To overcome those problems, we propose a novel method to realize chiral quantum networks by exploiting giant atom effects in SQC platforms. By assuming each coupling point being modulated with time, the interaction becomes momentum-dependent, and giant atoms will chirally emit photons due to interference effects. The chiral factor can approach 1, and both the emission direction and rate can be freely tuned by the modulating signals. We demonstrate that a high-fidelity state transfer between remote giant atoms can be realized. Our proposal can be integrated on the superconducting chip easily, and has the potential to work as a tunable toolbox for quantum information processing in future chiral quantum networks.

description: This study presents photometric analysis of the intermediate-age open cluster King 6, utilizing photometric data in UBV(RI)$_c$ passband and data from the 2MASS mission. The Gaia DR3 kinematic data were used to estimate the membership probabilities and TESS data is employed to search for variable stars within the cluster. The cluster's radius is estimated to be 9$^\prime$.0 based on the stellar density profile, while optical and near-infrared color-color diagrams} revealed color excesses of E(B-V) = 0.58$ \pm$ 0.03, E(J-K) = 0.24 $\pm$ 0.03, and E(V-K) = 1.53 $\pm$ 0.01 mag. Interstellar extinction law is normal in the direction of the cluster. The cluster$^\prime$s estimated age is $\sim$251 Myr and distance is 724 $\pm$ 5 pc. The mass function slope was found to be x = 0.57 $\pm$ 0.28 by considering stars $\geq$ 1 M$_\odot$. Our analysis indicates that the cluster is dynamically relaxed. Furthermore, we identified three new variable stars for the first time in the cluster region using TESS data. These variables belong to the category of slow pulsating B-type variables, with periods of 46.70, 47.92, and 37.56 hours.

Type locality: Malawi, Mt Mulanje
Several syntype male specimens have been dissected in NHMUK and the eighth sternite matches well with that figured in Tams (1925: 559; 1953: Fig. 14).
 The following two species are excluded from Hypotrabala:
 Hypotrabala sanguicincta (Aurivillius, 1901) is transferred to Leptometa based on the similarity of the genital capsule to the type species L. matuta (Schaus, 1893) as well as barcode data: Leptometa sanguicincta (Aurivillius, 1901) comb. n.
 Epitrabala nyassana (Aurivillius, 1909) was thought to be the female of H. horridula by Pinhey (1975) but based only on a photograph of a female syntype in NHRS, it is not a Hypotrabala and possibly a female of a Leptometa species. Although further research is required to ascertain its precise placement, it is tentatively transferred to Leptometa: Leptometa nyassana (Aurivillius, 1909) comb. n.
 The following species is considered incertae sedis:
 Hypotrabala odonestioides Berio, 1937
 Berio (1937) stated that despite the moth looking completely different to the type species of Hypotrabala, his new species agreed with all of the characters listed by Aurivillius (1927) for the genus. Based on the original description and type locality of Chikuni in southern Zambia, it almost certainly does not belong in Hypotrabala. Since the type specimen has not been studied, no formal nomenclatural changes are made.
 A new genus is described for the striking insect Hypotrabala regalis Tams, 1953:

description: In this work, the $S$- and $P$-wave $\bar{D}^\ast K^\ast$ interactions are studied in a coupled-channel formalism to understand the recently observed $X_0(2900)$ and $X_1(2900)$ at LHCb. The experimental event distributions can be well described, and two states with $I(J^P)=0(0^+)$ and $0(1^-)$ are yielded in an unified framework. The masses of the $0^+$ and $1^-$ states are consistent with the experimental data, but the width of the $0^+$ state is larger than that of the $1^-$ one. The $X_1(2900)$ can be interpreted as the $P$-wave excitation of the ground-state $X_0(2900)$ in the hadronic molecular picture. The $S$- and $P$-wave multiplets in the $\bar{D}^\ast K^\ast$ system have many members, so the present peak in the $D^-K^+$ invariant mass distributions might contain multi subpeaks. In order to probe the fine structures behind the single whole peak now, more refined measurements in the $B^+\to D^+D^-K^+$ decay channel are necessary.

description: This article investigates the topic of domestic abuse in online journalism, particularly focusing on the influences of storytellers and therapists in podcasts on public participation. To reach this aim, the authors identified conflict tactics through the podcast series 'Are you alright?' of the online newspaper VnExpress, the top online newspaper in Vietnam with nearly 140 million visits in March, 2025 (SimilarWeb, 2025). Employing both qualitative and quantitative approaches with the theoretical framework of Three Conflict Strategies (TCS), the study explored 22 tactics deployed by storytellers and therapists. However, when examining comments representing public participation, they were mostly irrelevant and not corresponding to the unveiled tactics. The study has demonstrated how journalism in the issue of social violence problems engages the public into the discussion and provided insights of tackling domestic abuse in real life, promoting social and communication governance in the context of modern Vietnamese society.

description: A key clinical problem is identifying the endometriosis patient whose pain is complicated by central nervous system sensitization, where conventional gynecologic treatment (e.g. hormonal therapy or surgery) may not completely alleviate the pain. The Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) is a questionnaire previously validated in the chronic pain population. The objective of this study was an exploratory proof-of-concept to identify a CSI cut-off in the endometriosis population to discriminate between individuals with significant central contributors (identified by central sensitivity syndromes (CSS)) to their pain compared to those without. We analyzed a prospective data registry at a tertiary referral center for endometriosis, and included subjects aged 18-50 years with endometriosis who were newly or re-referred to the center in 2018. The study sample consisted of 335 subjects with a mean age of 36.0±7.0 years. An increasing number of CSS was significantly correlated with dysmenorrhea, deep dyspareunia, dyschezia, and chronic pelvic pain scores (p’s<.001) and with the CSI score (0-100) (r=.731, p<.001). ROC analysis indicated that a CSI cut-off of 40 had sensitivity 78% (95% CI: 72.7% - 84.6%) and specificity 80% (95% CI: 70.3% - 84.5%) for identifying an endometriosis patient with ≥ 3 CSS. In the group with CSI≥40, 18% retrospectively self-reported pain non-responsive to hormonal therapy and 40% self-reported daily pain, compared to 6% and 20% in the CSI<40 group (p=.003 and .002, respectively). In conclusion, a CSI ≥ 40 may be a practical tool to help identify endometriosis patients with pain contributors related to central nervous system sensitization.
Bisphenol A: contested science, divergent safety evaluations
Creators: name: Gies, Andreas
name: Soto, Ana M.
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2013

description: Bisphenol A (BPA) is currently one of the world's best-selling chemicals and primarily used
to make polycarbonate plastics. It is widely used in common products such as baby bottles,
household electronics, medical devices and coatings on food containers. BPA is known to mimic
the female hormone oestrogen and has been found to leach from the materials where it is used.
Studies have suggested that even exposure to low doses of BPA may cause endocrine
disrupting effects. As with other hormones, it appears that an organism is most sensitive during
development but that effects are often not observed until much later in the lifecycle. This means
that at the time when the effects become detectable, the chemical exposure has vanished. This
makes it extremely difficult to link exposure to effects in humans.
This chapter maps some of the findings in studies of rodents and humans. It also discusses
the challenges of evaluating scientific findings in a field where industry-sponsored studies and
independent scientific research seem to deviate strongly. The authors offer suggestions for ways
to uncouple financial interests from scientific research and testing.
A widely used and dispersed industrial chemical like Bisphenol A is a controversial example of
an endocrine disrupting substance that has implications for policymakers. Different approaches
to risk assessment for BPA by US and European authorities are presented. It throws light on the
ways in which similar evidence is evaluated differently in different risk assessments and presents
challenges for applying the precautionary principle.
The intense discussion and scientific work on BPA have slowly contributed to a process of
improving test strategies. While traditional toxicology has relied on a monotonic increasing doseresponse
relationship as evidence that the effect is caused by the test agent, studies on BPA and
other endocrine disruptor chemicals (EDCs) have demonstrated the limitations of this approach
and adjustments have been made in some cases.
It has also been widely accepted that effects cannot be predicted by simply thinking of BPA
as a weak oestrogen and extrapolating from what is observed for more potent endogenous
oestrogens. This lesson is particularly evident in the intense pharmaceutical interest in selective
oestrogen response modifiers (SERMs).
The chapter is followed by a panel analysing the value of animal testing for identifyingcarcinogens

Isolation of potential polyurethane-degrading microorganisms from landfill soil and determination of their degradation mechanisms
Creators: name: Bhavsar, Parth Hirenkumar
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This research focuses on finding microbes that can potentially degrade polyurethane (PU), a type of plastic generally found in everyday items like cushions, foam scrubs, and mattresses. We isolated and analysed microbes from Australian landfill soil using microbiology, surface characterization, and analytical chemistry techniques; some of these microbes showed remarkable PU biodegradation capabilities. Our research findings also propose a multi-stage model of the polyester PU biodegradation process by these microbes. The results are encouraging and offer hope for tackling the pressing global issue of plastic pollution, which is one of the most significant and persistent environmental challenges of our time.
