description: This doctoral project centres on the composition of a series of works for different instrumentations that attempt to answer the question: “What could be an artistically satisfying aesthetics and method of composing music based on rethinking counterpoint beyond its historical forms?” This dissertation functions as a supplement to these compositions. It outlines the rationale and methodology of the project, before detailing the aesthetics of counterpoint that have been developed across the course of this research project. The core chapters then chart the development of my compositional approach by showing how each work relates to four core research themes: 1. Relation of parts—how the compositional logic structures relations between simultaneous parts; 2. Form—how the form of a work relates to its contrapuntal logic; 3. Scope of world—how individual parts are structured and to what extent the contrapuntal logic involves a homogeneous or heterogeneous aesthetic; and 4. Compositional process—how the contrapuntal logic influences the compositional process itself. ‘

The semiclassical resonance spectrum of Hydrogen in a constant magnetic field

description: We present the first purely semiclassical calculation of the resonance spectrum in the Diamagnetic Kepler problem (DKP), a hydrogen atom in a constant magnetic field with $L_z =0$. The classical system is unbound and completely chaotic for a scaled energy $ε\sim E B^{-2/3}$ larger than a critical value $ε_c >0$. The quantum mechanical resonances can in semiclassical approximation be expressed as the zeros of the semiclassical zeta function, a product over all the periodic orbits of the underlying classical dynamics. Intermittency originating from the asymptotically separable limit of the potential at large electron--nucleus distance causes divergences in the periodic orbit formula. Using a regularisation technique introduced in [G.\ Tanner and D.\ Wintgen, Phys.~Rev.~Lett.~{\bf 75}, 2928 (1995)] together with a modified cycle expansion, we calculate semiclassical resonances, both position and width, which are in good agreement with quantum mechanical results obtained by the method of complex rotation. The method also provides good estimates for the bound state spectrum obtained here from the classical dynamics of a scattering system. A quasi Einstein--Brillouin--Keller (QEBK) quantisation is derived that allows for a description of the spectrum in terms of approximate quantum numbers and yields the correct asymptotic behaviour of the Rydberg--like series converging towards the different Landau thresholds.

subject: Employment

description: Employment in the Australian community services industry will generally require an individual to undertake a formal qualification. One such qualification is the Diploma of Community Services which is a Vocational Education and Training (VET) program. Like all VET qualifications in Australia it is ‘competency based’ - that is, it uses a curriculum model which involves submitting a job role to a task analysis and employing a behavioural template to the analysis to produce ‘units of competency’. In my experience as a community services worker and now as a community services VET teacher I have become increasingly aware of personal change in Diploma of Community Services students that is not part of the competency-based curriculum and the impact such change has on job readiness. According to a handful of research projects (e.g. Hodge, 2010a) personal change is an important part of the process of becoming a worker - especially in human services areas of work. This idea will be explored in this project. Drawing on the theory of Transformative Learning (Mezirow, 1978, 1990, 1991, 2006) this project explores experiences of personal change in learners while studying the Diploma of Community Services. Transformative learning concepts will be considered in the context of the participant’s experience. This research will be of interest to community services organisations and education institutions interested in the training of effective community services workers.

description: The character of the exceptional series of representations of SU(1,1) is determined by using Bargmann's realization of the representation in the Hilbert space $H_σ$ of functions defined on the unit circle. The construction of the integral kernel of the group ring turns out to be especially involved because of the non-local metric appearing in the scalar product with respect to which the representations are unitary. Since the non-local metric disappears in the `momentum space' $i.e.$ in the space of the Fourier coefficients the integral kernel is constructed in the momentum space, which is transformed back to yield the integral kernel of the group ring in $H_σ$. The rest of the procedure is parallel to that for the principal series treated in a previous paper. The main advantage of this method is that the entire analysis can be carried out within the canonical framework of Bargmann.

description: Eight years ago, the Open Method of Coordination was codified as a mode of governance to implement the Lisbon strategy of the European Union which aims to turn the European economy into the most competitive and most dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world by 2010. Since then, the OMC has often been highlighted as a “third way” in European governance – an alternative to intergovernmental negotiations and the Classical Community Method. Hopes that the OMC could develop into a “third way” would be destroyed if the OMC had considerable potential to promote institutional- spillover and this way to encourage the European Commission's competence creep. In that case, the OMC could be seen as having a bridging function between the two traditional methods used to govern the EU. Based on the supranationalism as put forward by Sandholtz and Stone Sweet (1998), this paper analyses the OMC's potential to promote institutional-spillover in European education policy. With institutional-spillover I mean an increase of the decisional autonomy or capacity of the European Commission. The analysis reveals that the OMC's potential to promote institutional-spillover in education is very small as it neither increases participation of transnational society in the policy-making process nor sufficiently increases the autonomy of joint organisations such as the European Commission and the European Court of Justice.

description: Patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and influenza A virus (FLUAV) coinfections were associated with severe respiratory failure and more deaths. Because of the lack of a relevant lung model system, the pathobiology of co-infections between SARS-CoV-2 and FLUAV remains less understood. Here, we developed a model for studying SARS-CoV-2 and FLUAV coinfection using human pluripotent stem cell-induced alveolar type II organoids (hiAT2). hiAT2 organoids were susceptible to infection by both viruses and had features of severe lung damage. We found that infection with a single virus markedly enhanced the susceptibility to other virus infections and was linked with the upregulation of respective cell entry receptors. SARS-CoV-2 delta variants upregulated α-2-3-linked sialic acid, while FLUAV upregulated angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2). Upregulation of ACE2 and TMPRSS2 was mediated by the FLUAV infection rather than individual viral proteins. RNA sequencing revealed that coinfection by SARS-CoV-2 and FLUAV caused hyperactivation of proinflammatory and immune-related signaling pathways and cellular damage compared to a respective single virus in hiAT2 organoids. Together, these studies established a relevant lung model system of hiAT2 organoids for understanding the biology of SARS-CoV-2 and FLUAV coinfection. This study also provides insight into molecular mechanisms underlying enhanced infectivity and severity in patients with co-infection of SARS-CoV-2 and FLUAV, which may aid in the development of newer therapeutics for the prevention and management of such co-infection cases.

description: The mass and size distributions are the key characteristics of any astrophysical objects, including the densest clumps comprising the cold phase of multiphase environments. In our recent papers, we showed how individual clouds of various sizes form and evolve in AGN. In particular, we showed that large clouds undergo damped oscillations as a response to their formation process. Here we followup this investigation, addressing how different size clouds interact. We find that smaller clouds become trapped in the advective flows generated by larger clouds. The explanation for this behavior leads to a rather remarkable conclusion: even in the absence of gravity, complexes of clouds are dynamically unstable. In an idealized environment (e.g., one free of turbulence and magnetic fields) a perfectly symmetric arrangement of static clouds will remain static, but any small spatial perturbation will lead to all clouds coalescing into a single, large cloud, given enough time. Using numerical simulations, we investigate the main factors that determine the rate of coalescence. Besides the cloud separation distance, we find that the transient response of clouds to a disturbance is the primary factor. Turbulent motions in the flow can easily suppress this tendency for spatially well-separated clouds to coalesce, so it is as yet unclear if this phenomenon can occur in nature. Nevertheless, this work casts strong doubts on a recent hypothesis that large clouds are prone to fragmentation.

Statistics of Neutral Regions During Hydrogen Re-Ionization

description: We present predictions for two statistical measures of the hydrogen reionization process at high redshift. The first statistic is the number of neutral segments identified in spectra of high redshift QSOs as a function of their length. The second is the cross-correlation of neutral regions with possible sources of ionizing radiation. These independent probes are sensitive to the topology of the ionized regions. If reionization proceeded from high to low density regions then the cross-correlation will be negative, while if voids were ionized first then we expect a positive correlation and a relatively small number of long neutral segments. We test the sensitivity of these statistics for reionization by stars in high redshift galaxies. The flux of ionizing radiation emitted from stars is estimated by identifying galaxies in an N-body simulation using a semi-analytic galaxy formation model. The spatial distribution of ionized gas is traced in various models for the propagation of the ionization fronts. A model with ionization proceeding from high to low density regions is consistent with the observations of Becker et al. (2001), while models in which ionization begins in the lowest density regions appear to be inconsistent with the present data.

Endothelial Caspase-9 Activity Exacerbates Edema and Neuronal Dysfunction after Retinal Vein Occlusion

description: The retina is one of the most metabolically active tissue in the body, rendering it sensitive to vascular dysfunction. Consequently, diseases that disrupt normal retinal blood supply, including retinal vein occlusions (RVO) and diabetic retinopathy, are the leading causes of blindness in working-age adults. Despite available therapies, an estimated 50% of patients do not respond to treatment.
      We employed a mouse model of retinal vein occlusion (RVO), achieved by tail-vein injection of rose bengal, followed by laser photocoagulation of retinal veins. In vivo analyses – optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein angiography, and electroretinograms (ERGs) - were conducted with the Micron IV system (Phoenix Research Labs). RVO induces acute retinal edema, which peaks during the first 24 hours following injury. Over a 7 day time course the edema resolves, revealing a permanent retinal thinning due to death of retinal neurons.
      We identified caspase-9, a protease traditionally associated with apoptosis, as an essential mediator of edema. Increased levels of activated caspase-9 were detected in vascular endothelial cells 1 hour following RVO. We tested RVO in mice with inducible endothelial-cell-specific deletion of caspase-9 (iC9 ECKO).  Compared to littermate controls, iC9 ECKO mice develop less edema, and sustain less retinal degeneration after RVO injury.  ERG analysis showed preservation of retinal function in iC9 ECKO mice.
      To study whether inhibiting caspase-9 would provide protection against RVO we utilized a highly specific caspase-9 inhibitor, which we can deliver to the retina using simple eyedrops. Treatment of wildtype mice with the caspase-9 inhibitor immediately after induction of RVO provided morphologic, biochemical and functional retinal protection. Inhibition of caspase-9 reduces edema, protects retinal morphology, and helps prevent vision loss following RVO injury. Our studies indicate that endothelial caspase-9 plays an essential role in regulating edema pathogenesis. Moreover, our novel cell permeant caspase-9 inhibitor abrogates the edema and may be a potential therapy for individuals suffering from vascular eye disease.

description: We examine the zero and finite temperature phase diagrams of soft-core bosons of the extended Bose-Hubbard model on a square optical lattice. To study various quantum phases and their transitions we employ single-site and cluster Gutzwiller mean-field theory. We have observed that the Mott insulator phase vanishes above a critical value of nearest-neighbour interaction and the supersolid phase occupies a larger region in the phase diagram. We show that the presence of artificial gauge field enlarges the domain of supersolid phase. The finite temperature destroys the crystalline structure of the supersolid phase and thereby favours normal fluid to superfluid phase transition. The presence of an envelope harmonic potential demonstrates coexistence of different phases and at $z~k_{B}T\geqslant V$, thermal energy comparable and higher to the long-range interaction energy, the supersolidity of the system is destroyed.

description: It is well-known that a ring R is semiperfect if and only if R as a left (or as a right) R-module is a supplemented module. Considering weak supplements instead of supplements we show that weakly supplemented modules M are semilocal (i.e., M/Rad(M) is semisimple) and that R is a semilocal ring if and only if R as a left (or as a right) R-module is weakly supplemented. In this context the notion of finite hollow dimension (or finite dual Goldie dimension) of modules is of interest and yields a natural interpretation of the Camps-Dicks characterization of semilocal rings. Finitely generated modules are weakly supplemented if and only if they have finite hollow dimension (or are semilocal).

Endosomal membrane dynamics underlying cell spreading: A role for the small GTPase Arf6
Creators: Bastien, Jayson I. L.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2012
Subjects: Biology

description: Cell migration is an orchestrated and highly coordinated multi-step process that is central to the development and maintenance of multicellular organisms. Dysregulated migration however, is associated with pathological states such as tumor formation and metastasis; thus a clear understanding of the molecular mechanisms that drive this process is critical to the development of counteracting therapeutics. Cell migration and adhesion-dependent cell spreading share a number of features. For example, both processes rely on the activation of mechanisms for the coordinated spatial and temporal assembly/disassembly of focal adhesions, as well as mechanisms controlling actin rearrangements and directed vesicular trafficking. Actin remodeling and vesicular trafficking events are in turn, implicated functions of a variety of small GTPases of the Ras superfamily, which include the Rho and Arf subfamilies. Thus towards efforts of further characterizing the molecular pathways that drive cell spreading, I pursued aims to examine the role of a specific member of the Arf subfamily Arf6, in this process. In contrast to other studies which have primarily used constitutively active or dominant negative mutants of Arf6 to study its cellular function, we employed mouse genetics. In this system, mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) were derived and immortalized from mice genetically manipulated for the acute deletion of Arf6 using a tamoxifen inducible Cre/loxP recombination system. Acute deletion of Arf6 in these MEFs resulted in a kinetic delay in transferrin recycling as well as in cell spreading. The spreading delay correlated with reduced trafficking of cholera toxin B-labeled intracellular membranes to the plasma membrane. Cholera toxin-B labels the ganglioside GM1, which is enriched in lipid rafts. These specialized membrane domains are thought to serve as signaling hubs bearing many proteins that in turn, mediate trafficking steps required for cell spreading/migration. I further report that the trafficking of these specialized membranes to the plasma membrane involves the retromer complex, a coat-like multi-protein complex primarily known for mediating retrograde transport from endosomes to the trans-Golgi network. Altogether, my studies have confirmed genetically, an involvement of Arf6 in cell spreading and raft trafficking, and established a link between these membrane microdomains and the retromer complex. In separate studies, I have also investigated the role of phospholipase D2 (PLD2) in endocytic trafficking and found that similarly derived cultures exhibit alterations in the expression levels of various trafficking related proteins as well as defects in transferrin and epidermal growth factor receptor trafficking. These results suggest a role for PLD2 and possibly its enzymatic product phosphatidic acid, in these events.

description: We study the low energy quantum spectra of two-dimensional rectangular billiards with a small but finite-size scatterer inside. We start by examining the spectral properties of billiards with a single pointlike scatterer. The problem is formulated in terms of self-adjoint extension theory of functional analysis. The condition for the appearance of so-called wave chaos is clarified. We then relate the pointlike scatterer to a finite-size scatterer through the appropriate truncation of basis. We show that the signature of wave chaos in low energy states is most prominent when the scatterer is weakly attractive. As an illustration, numerical results of a rectangular billiard with a small rectangular scatterer inside are exhibited.

description: Previously we have suggested the concept of tuning hydrate compositions which makes it possible to increase the gas storage capacity of binary hydrates. Herein, we report for the first time the existence of a critical guest concentration (CGC) and establish the complete tuning pattern that appears to exist in binary hydrates, including the water-soluble hydrate formers (promoters) and water insoluble guests,. The first attempt to verify the new features of clathrate hydrate compositions is executed on the binary hydrate of CH4 + THF and involves a detailed examination of the guest distribution by spectroscopic methods. THF molecules by themselves form sII hydrate from a completely miscible aqueous solution, and in this structure, because of their size, THF molecules occupy only the large 51264 cages. The CGC value appears to depend largely on the chemical nature of the liquid guest component participating in the binary hydrate formation. The present experimental findings on the existence of critical guest concentration and the complete tuning phenomenon can be expected to make a meaningful contribution to both inclusion chemistry and a variety of hydrate-based fields.
Energy Efficiency in Residential Buildings and Transferable Development Rights: An Exploratory Analysis

description: New York City hopes to reduce Green House Gas emissions from buildings by 3.4 million metric tons by 2025. Since the vast majority of buildings in New York City already exist, a crucial objective is improving the energy efficiency of the existing building stock. The slow implementation of energy efficient technologies in buildings can be explained by a lack of funding. This study explores methods for targeting deeper energy efficiency retrofits, as well as financing these improvements through reforming the City's zoning ordinance, specifically the governance of Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) transactions. Developments with transferred development rights create increased density that impose costs that need to be accounted for; with more building density there will be more energy usage at one point in space. Based on research and reasonable assumptions, this study of Manhattan alone demonstrates that placing a value capture tax on TDR transactions at a hypothetical 6% tax rate could raise between $46 million and $72.5 million. Similarly placing a flat $18 per square foot (PSF) charge could raise from $47 million to $67 million. The revenues generated by this transfer charge could be earmarked for energy improvements in residential buildings. Using existing technologies, it is estimated that this money could possibly reduce GHG emissions in the City of New York between 282,337 and 433,782 Metric Tons of CO2 equivalents- depending upon the approach adopted. Further consideration should be given to the benefits of energy efficiency grants as opposed to loans.

description: The crystallographic orientation of SrIrO3 surfaces is decisive for the occurrence of topological surface states. We show from DFT computations that (001) and (110) free surfaces have comparable energies, and, correspondingly, we experimentally observe that single micro-crystals exhibit both facet orientations. These surfaces are found to relax over typically the length of one oxygen octahedron, defining a structural critical thickness for thin films. A reconstruction of the electronic density associated to tilts of the oxygen octahedra is observed. On the other hand, thin films have invariably been reported to grow along the (110) direction. We show that the interfacial energy associated to the oxygen octahedra distortion for epitaxy is likely at the origin of this specific feature, and propose leads to induce (001) SrIrO3 growth.

description: Recent determinations of the internal composition and structure of two helium-atmosphere variable white dwarf stars, GD 358 and CBS 114, have led to conflicting implied rates for the ^{12}C(alpha,gamma)^{16}O reaction. If we assume that both stars were formed through single-star evolution, then the initial analyses of their pulsation frequencies must have differed in some systematic way. I present improved fits to the two sets of pulsation data, helping to resolve the tension between the initial results.

description: Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field of $q$ elements and $a_1,a_2, \ldots, a_k, b\in \mathbb{F}_q$. We investigate $N_{\mathbb{F}_q}(a_1, a_2, \ldots,a_k;b)$, the number of ordered solutions $(x_1, x_2, \ldots,x_k)\in\mathbb{F}_q^k$ of the linear equation $$ a_1x_1+a_2x_2+\cdots+a_kx_k=b$$ with all $x_i$ distinct. We obtain an explicit formula for $N_{\mathbb{F}_q}(a_1,a_2, \ldots, a_k;b)$ involving combinatorial numbers depending on $a_i$'s. In particular, we obtain closed formulas for two special cases. One is that $a_i, 1\leq i\leq k$ take at most three distinct values and the other is that $\sum_{i=1}^ka_i=0$ and $\sum_{i\in I}a_i\neq 0$ for any $I\subsetneq [k]$. The same technique works when $\mathbb{F}_q$ is replaced by $\mathbb{Z}_n$, the ring of integers modulo $n$. In particular, we give a new proof for the main result given by Bibak, Kapron and Srinivasan, which generalizes a theorem of Schönemann via a graph theoretic method.

description: It is shown that the fourth order real self-adjoint difference operator on the Tivalent Tree admits nontrivial deformations preserving one energy level and therefore defines a nontrinial hierarhy of the completely integrable nonlinear systems representible through the ''L-A-B-triple''. The Laplace transformations for these operators are also constructed. Nothing like that exists for the second order difference operators on this tree.

description: Scattering of light dark matter with sub-eV energy deposition can be detected with collective excitations in condensed matter systems. When dark matter has spin-independent couplings to atoms or ions, it has been shown to efficiently excite phonons. Here we show that, if dark matter couples to the electron spin, magnon excitations in materials with magnetic dipole order offer a promising detection path. We derive general formulae for single magnon excitation rates from dark matter scattering, and demonstrate as a proof of principle the projected reach of a yttrium iron garnet target for several dark matter models with spin-dependent interactions. This highlights the complementarity of various collective excitations in probing different dark matter interactions.
