description: Purpose: We evaluated the long-term effect of a smartphone-facilitated home-based cardiac rehabilitation (HBCR) model in revascularized patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) on major adverse cardiac events (MACE), and secondary outcomes, including safety, quality of life, and physical capacity. Methods: It was a prospective observational cohort study including a total of 335 CHD patients after successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) referred to the CR clinic in China between July 23, 2015 and March 1, 2018. Patients were assigned to two groups: HBCR tailored by monitoring and telecommunication via smartphone app (WeChat) (HBCR group, n = 170) or usual care (control group, n = 165), with follow-up for up to 42 months. Propensity score matching was conducted to match patients in the HBCR group with those in the control group. The patients in the HBCR group received educational materials weekly and individualized exercise prescription monthly, and the control group only received 20-min education at baseline in the CR clinic. The primary outcome was MACE, analyzed by Cox regression models. The changes in the secondary outcomes were analyzed by paired t-test among the matched cohort. Results: One hundred thirty-five HBCR patients were matched with the same number of control patients. Compared to the control group, the HBCR group had a much lower incidence of MACE (1.5 vs. 8.9%, p = 0.002), with adjusted HR = 0.21, 95% CI 0.07–0.85, and also had reduced unscheduled readmission (9.7 vs. 23.0%, p = 0.002), improved exercise capacity [maximal METs (6.2 vs. 5.1, p = 0.002)], higher Seattle Angina Questionnaire score, and better control of risk factors. Conclusions: The Chinese HBCR model using smartphone interaction is a safe and effective approach to decrease cardiovascular risks of patients with CHD and improve patients' wellness.

description: We use quantum detector tomography to characterize the qubit readout in terms of measurement POVMs on IBM Quantum Computers IBM Q 5 Tenerife and IBM Q 5 Yorktown. Our results suggest that the characterized detector model deviates from the ideal projectors by a few percent. Further improvement on this characterization can be made by adopting two- or more-qubit detector models instead of independent single-qubit detectors for all the qubits in one device. An unexpected behavior was seen in the physical qubit labelled as qubit 3 of IBM Q 5 Tenerife, which can be a consequence of detector crosstalk or qubit operations influencing each other and requires further investigation. This peculiar behavior is consistent with characterization from the more sophisticated approach of the gate set tomography. We also discuss how the characterized detectors' POVM, despite deviation from the ideal projectors, can be used to estimate the ideal detection distribution.

description: Hydrogen-deuterium mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) is a staple tool for monitoring dynamics and interactions of proteins. Due to the sheer size of the HDX-MS results, the data analysis require a dedicated software suite. However, the majority of existing tools does not cover a complete analytic workflow. We propose HaDeX, a novel tool for processing, analysis, and visualization of HDX-MS experiments. HaDeX features functions supporting the whole analytic process, including preliminary data exploration, quality control and generation of personalized publication-quality figures. This is the only tool to support multiple-state comparison and exact uncertainty debate. The reproducibility of the whole procedure is ensured with advanced reporting functions. HaDeX is available primarily as a web-server (http://mslab-ibb.pl/shiny/HaDeX/), but its all functionalities are also accessible as the R package (https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=HaDeX).

description: In the framework of the gauge theory based on the Poincaré symmetry group, the gravitational field is described in terms of the coframe and the local Lorentz connection. Considered as gauge field potentials, they give rise to the corresponding field strength which are naturally identified with the torsion and the curvature on the Riemann--Cartan spacetime. We study the class of quadratic Poincaré gauge gravity models with the most general Yang--Mills type Lagrangian which contains all possible parity-even and parity-odd invariants built from the torsion and the curvature. Exact vacuum solutions of the gravitational field equations are constructed as a certain deformation of de Sitter geometry. They are black holes with nontrivial torsion.

The syntax and morphology of the verb in Chepang
Creators: name: Caughley, Ross Charles
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1980
Subjects: subject: Chepang language Verb

description: Chepang is a Tibeto-Burman language of Nepal with a complex verb morphology of a type that has been described as 'pronominalized'in the relevant literature on languages of the area. This morphology includes the crossreferencing of up to two participants in the clausal situation by means of affixes related to the independent pronouns. Usually one or other of the subject and object (strictly,Actor or Goal) participants,but not both, can be crossreferenced in this way, so that it is necessary to choose which of these will be so represented. The case role of the chosen participant may be indicated by a verbal affix. Certain of the affixes may be reduplicated once or even twice, and the possessor of a participant can also be crossreferenced in the verb. The result is a verb of considerable complexity, a feature which is, however, not unique to Chepang but is found in various other Tibeto-Burman and non-Tibeto-Burman languages of the south Asian region. This thesis represents an attempt to fully investigate and describe the structure, function and origins of this morphology in Chepang. In seeking to achieve this goal the study is not limited simply to a description of the affixation and grammatical categories that are involved, but rather extends to the total relationships of the verb. This investigation is carried out within a functional framework - that is, the verb, together with the constructions it enters into and its own constituents, is examined in relation to the various functions it performs in speech. These functions, and the notions associated with them, are defined and discussed in the introductory chapter ( chapter 1), in relation to relation to language in general. This is dealt with under the broad heading of content (especially role and referential content), context and cohesion. The three chapters following the introduction describe the part played by the verb with respect to indicating role and reference ( chapter 2), the context, especially the speaker's relation to the content (chapter 3), and the cohesive relations holding within the speech (chapter 4) - the last being particularly concerned with the marking of previous reference and of interclausal relationships. The remaining two chapters examine the verbal morphology from a historical and comparative point of view. In chapter 5 a possible method of development for the verbal affixation is suggested, together with postulated original forms of the pronominal elements . The proposed develpoment is shown to account for a number of otherwise unexplained features of the verbal paradigm. The last chapter looks at the Chepang verb against the wider linguistic background, first of all comparing the main dialect described in the thesis ( that of Maiserang village) with other Chepang dialects. The verbal morphology of Chepang is then compared with that of other Tibeto-Burman and non-Tibeto-Burman languages in the linguistic area .

description: We introduce the Koenigs lattice, which is a new integrable reduction of the quadrilateral lattice (discrete conjugate net) and provides natural integrable discrete analogue of the Koenigs net. We construct the Darboux-type transformations of the Koenigs lattice and we show permutability of superpositions of such transformations, thus proving integrability of the Koenigs lattice. We also investigate the geometry of the discrete Koenigs transformation. In particular we characterize the Koenigs transformation in terms of an involution determined by a congruence conjugate to the lattice.

Some problems concerning point processes
Creators: name: Littlejohn, Roger Philip
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1981
Subjects: subject: Point processes

description: In this thesis we discuss a variety of problems concerning point processes and Markov processes; the dominant themes are the contamination and thinning of point processes, small sample theory and the power of tests of certain hypotheses against given alternatives. In Chapter 2 we review the literature on the superposition and thinning of point processes, interpreting these operations as types of contamination. In Chapter 3 we derive the distribution of the serial correlation coefficients for a finite portion of a renewal process which has been contaminated by superposed or deleted points, which leads us to conclude that the serial correlogram is less sensitive to contamination than had previously been thought (Shiavi and Negin (1973)). As an ancilliary result we give expressions for the interval moments for a length-biased sample from a renewal process of finite length. In Chapter U we study selective interaction models within the framework of regenerative bivariate point processes (Berman (1978)) for which we give counting and interval properties. We classify the many variations of this model and are able to derive simplified expressions for first and second order properties; we introduce a thinning operation where the probability that a point is deleted is a function of the length of the interval preceding it. In Chapter 5 we study the square wave modulated Poisson process, giving its counting and interval properties; a problem of inference leads us to generalize Fisher's (1929) g-statistic for the distribution of the largest and second largest intervals on a circle and the distribution of the maximum periodogram ordinate. In Chapter 6 we show that the stationary exponential Markov chains of Tavares (1980) and Gaver and Lewis (1980) are time reversed versions of one another and obtain a characterization of the exponential distribution as a converse. In Chapter 7 ve use a deficiency criterion (Hodges and Lehmann (1970)) based on the Fisher information matrix to study the role of initial conditions in estimating the parameters of a Markov chain. Closed form expressions are given for the maximum likelihood estimators of the parameters of the simple Markov chain when the initial conditions are used. We conclude that there is a basis for using one’s knowledge of the initial conditions for small samples when the chain is likely to remain in one or more states for long periods, although this involves more complicated computations than when the likelihood is conditioned on the value of the initial state.

description: A new moderately r-process-enhanced metal-poor star, RAVE J093730.5-062655, has been identified in the Milky Way halo as part of an ongoing survey by the R-Process Alliance. The temperature and surface gravity indicate that J0937-0626 is likely a horizontal branch star. At [Fe/H] = -1.86, J0937-0626 is found to have subsolar [X/Fe] ratios for nearly every light, alpha, and Fe-peak element. The low [alpha/Fe] ratios can be explained by an ~0.6 dex excess of Fe; J0937-0626 is therefore similar to the subclass of "iron-enhanced" metal-poor stars. A comparison with Milky Way field stars at [Fe/H] = -2.5 suggests that J0937-0626 was enriched in material from an event, possibly a Type Ia supernova, that created a significant amount of Cr, Mn, Fe, and Ni and smaller amounts of Ca, Sc, Ti, and Zn. The r-process enhancement of J0937-0626 is likely due to a separate event, which suggests that its birth environment was highly enriched in r-process elements. The kinematics of J0937-0626, based on Gaia DR2 data, indicate a retrograde orbit in the Milky Way halo; J0937-0626 was therefore likely accreted from a dwarf galaxy that had significant r-process enrichment.

description: T Tauri stars are low-mass young stars whose disks provide the setting for planet formation. Despite this, their structure is poorly understood. We present new infrared interferometric observations of the SU Aurigae circumstellar environment that offer 3 x higher resolution and better baseline position angle coverage over previous observations. We investigate the characteristics of circumstellar material around SU Aur, constrain the disk geometry, composition and inner dust rim structure. The CHARA array offers opportunities for long baseline observations, with baselines up to 331 m. Using the CLIMB 3-telescope combiner in the K-band allows us to measure visibilities as well as closure phase. We undertook image reconstruction for model-independent analysis, and geometric modeling. Additionally, the fitting of radiative transfer models constrains the physical parameters of the disk. For the first time, a dusty disk wind is introduced to the radiative transfer code TORUS to model protoplanetary disks. Our implementation is motivated by theoretical dusty disk winds, where magnetic field lines drive dust above the disk plane close to the sublimation zone. Image reconstruction reveals an inclined disk with slight asymmetry along its minor-axis, likely due to inclination effects obscuring the inner disk rim through absorption of incident star light on the near-side and thermal re-emission/scattering of the far-side. Geometric modelling of a skewed ring finds the inner rim at 0.17+/-0.02 au with an inclination of 50.9+/-1.0 degrees and minor axis position angle 60.8+/-1.2 degrees. Radiative transfer modelling shows a flared disk with an inner radius at 0.18 au which implies a grain size of 0.4 um and a scale height of 15.0 au at 100 au. Among the tested radiative transfer models, only the dusty disk wind successfully accounts for the K-band excess by introducing dust above the mid-plane.

description: Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified dozens of loci associated with risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, identifying the causal variants and their functional role in the appropriate cell type remains a major challenge. We aimed to identify putative causal variants in 82 GWAS loci associated with COPD susceptibility and predict the regulatory impact of these variants in lung-cell types. We used an integrated approach featuring statistical fine mapping, open chromatin profiling, and machine learning to identify functional variants. We generated chromatin accessibility data using the Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin with High-Throughput Sequencing (ATAC-seq) for human primary lung-cell types implicated in COPD pathobiology. We then evaluated the enrichment of COPD risk variants in lung-specific open chromatin regions and generated cell type–specific regulatory predictions for .6,500 variants corresponding to 82 COPD GWAS loci. Integration of the fine-mapped variants with lung open chromatin regions helped prioritize 22 variants in putative regulatory elements with potential functional effects. Comparison with functional predictions from 222 Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) cell samples revealed cell type–specific regulatory effects of COPD variants in the lung epithelium, endothelium, and immune cells. We identified potential causal variants for COPD risk by integrating fine mapping in GWAS loci with cell-specific regulatory profiling, highlighting the importance of leveraging the chromatin status in relevant cell types to predict the molecular effects of risk variants in lung disease.

The effectiveness of international agreements in nuclear arms control

Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1982
Subjects: subject: Arms control
subject: War (International law)
subject: Nuclear warfare

description: After many years of failure to control the proliferation of nuclear weapons, numerous agreements have been concluded to inhibit their manufacture, transfer and combat use. The agreements are effective to the extent that they exercise a substantial influence on international conduct in this field. However, they are ineffective in the sense that there is an increasing discrepancy between the vertical and horizontal proliferation of nuclear weapons, and the restraint imposed by the agreements. Thus, with the continuation of present trends, the quantitative and qualitative growth of nuclear weapons and weapons systems is likely to become unmanageable, probably leading to world nuclear war. Nuclear weapons have many novel attributes that put unprecendented strains on the international legal system with respect to the negotiation, verification, adjudication and enforcement of agreements to control them. Neither the theoretical basis of international law nor its application are appropriate for contemporary requirements. The international legal system is similarly deficient in facilitating the resolution of underlying conflicts that threaten international peace and security, which are the raison d'être of the nuclear arms race. Regarding the prevention of horizontal proliferation, the major legal impediment is the result of failure to distinguish clearly between explicit and implicit undertakings by States, and reluctance to make sufficient use of United Nations machinery for the formulation and application of unambiguous legal norms. Bilateral efforts by the Superpowers to utilise quasi-legal methods for halting vertical proliferation are chiefly hampered by an unwillingness to isolate subjects relating to the strategic balance from other contentious issues. The modalities of agreement are not primarily responsible for the continuing nuclear arms race, especially between the Superpowers. That is the outcome of the overall inability of States, at many levels of interaction, to come to terms with the loss of jus ad bellum, despite the knowledge that all out nuclear war would put an end to human civilisation. Insufficient effort to reorient the theory and practice of international law so as to establish a system of accepted international justice is a symptom, but not the cause, of the general impasse. Nevertheless, the adoption of more appropriate theories and more precise rules of law, whether by United Nations forums, in the International Court of Justice, or during the course of international negotiation or mediation, would undoubtedly assist the process of accommodation that could make nuclear arms control ultimately and entirely effective.

description: We employ synthetic observations obtained with MHD simulations to study how to trace the distribution of turbulent magnetic fields using the synchrotron polarization gradient techniques suggested by Lazarian \& Yuen (2018). Both synchrotron polarization gradients and its derivative gradients with regard to the squared wavelength $λ^2$ are used to explore the probing ability of the technique in magnetic fields from sub- to super-Alfv{é}nic turbulence. We focus on studies that involve multi-frequency measurements in the presence of strong Faraday rotation and show the ways of how to recover the projected mean magnetic fields in the plane of the sky and the local magnetic fields within a tomographic slice. We conclude that the new techniques can successfully reconstruct the 3D magnetic field within our Milky Way and other galaxies. This paper opens an avenue for applying our new techniques to a large number of data cubes such as those from the Low Frequency Array for Radio astronomy and the Square Kilometer Array.

HENSEN (1991) designated S. diabolicus flammitrichus as an independent species S. flammitrichus and also synonymized it with S. diabolicus. van der VECHT (1973) stated that " Sphex fulvohirtus, described from Ceylon, is very similar in general appearance, but differs in having the bristles on the clypeus black. Its status deserves further study. But when examined on Vietnamese specimens DOLLFUSS (2008) showed that "these specimens are characterized by black hairs on frons, clypeus and propodeum" So, there is variation among specimens collected from different localities, and he suggests that further examinations should be done.

description: Unlike solid organs, human airway epithelia derive their oxygen from inspired air rather than the vasculature. Many pulmonary diseases are associated with intraluminal airway obstruction caused by aspirated foreign bodies, virus infection, tumors, or mucus plugs intrinsic to airway disease, including cystic fibrosis (CF). Consistent with requirements for luminal O2, airway epithelia surrounding mucus plugs in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) lungs are hypoxic. Despite these observations, the effects of chronic hypoxia (CH) on airway epithelial host defense functions relevant to pulmonary disease have not been investigated. Molecular characterization of resected human lungs from individuals with a spectrum of muco-obstructive lung diseases (MOLDs) or COVID-19 identified molecular features of chronic hypoxia, including increased EGLN3 expression, in epithelia lining mucus-obstructed airways. In vitro experiments using cultured chronically hypoxic airway epithelia revealed conversion to a glycolytic metabolic state with maintenance of cellular architecture. Chronically hypoxic airway epithelia unexpectedly exhibited increased MUC5B mucin production and increased transepithelial Na+ and fluid absorption mediated by HIF1α/HIF2α-dependent up-regulation of β and γENaC (epithelial Na+ channel) subunit expression. The combination of increased Na+ absorption and MUC5B production generated hyperconcentrated mucus predicted to perpetuate obstruction. Single-cell and bulk RNA sequencing analyses of chronically hypoxic cultured airway epithelia revealed transcriptional changes involved in airway wall remodeling, destruction, and angiogenesis. These results were confirmed by RNA–in situ hybridization studies of lungs from individuals with MOLD. Our data suggest that chronic airway epithelial hypoxia may be central to the pathogenesis of persistent mucus accumulation in MOLDs and associated airway wall damage.

description: We formulate a semiclassical theory for systems with spin-orbit interactions. Using spin coherent states, we start from the path integral in an extended phase space, formulate the classical dynamics of the coupled orbital and spin degrees of freedom, and calculate the ingredients of Gutzwiller's trace formula for the density of states. For a two-dimensional quantum dot with a spin-orbit interaction of Rashba type, we obtain satisfactory agreement with fully quantum-mechanical calculations. The mode-conversion problem, which arose in an earlier semiclassical approach, has hereby been overcome.

Teachers as state workers and the politics of professionalism

description: In the last few years state school teachers in Australia have shown an increased propensity to engage in militant action (eg, the use of the strike) on a range of industrial and educational issues. This study attempts to explain why this is the case, and to detail how teachers are reacting to present circumstances in the educational sphere. The central concerns of the study are to examine the development of a number of empirical tendencies within the public school sector which can be conceptualised as marking the proletarianisation of educational workers, and to investigate the ideological constructions characteristic of the occupation. A major interest with respect to this is to illustrate how elements in the 'ideological matrix' of teachers serve to condition the form of response by teachers to the processes of proletarianisation affecting their labour activity. Discussions in the study include consideration of the historical development of education in New South Wales as this pertains to teachers, a brief summary of the political-economic context of contemporary schooling, an in-depth analysis of the location of teachers in the class and institutional structures of advanced capitalist societies, and a case study of a particular instance of strike activity involving teachers in New South Wales. The study argues that one can make a distinction between 'militancy' and 'radicalism' in reference to the nature of teacher mobilisations. It is shown how teacher ideologies play a major role in determining whether or not political activity on the part of teachers takes the form of an active challenge to existing educational and societal structures of power and domination.

description: The surge in availability of geospatial data sources, the increased use of crowdsourced maps and the advent of geospatial mashups have brought us to an era where geospatial information is delivered to users after integration from divers sources. Understanding the provenance of geospatial data is crucial for assessing the quality of the data and addressing whether to trust the information or not. In this paper we describe user requirements for modeling geospatial provenance.

description: The detection of a neutron star merger by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) and Advanced Virgo gravitational wave detectors and the subsequent detection of an electromagnetic counterpart has opened a new era of transient astronomy. With upgrades to the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors and new detectors coming online in Japan and India, neutron star mergers will be detected at a higher rate in the future, starting with the O3 observing run which will begin in early 2019. The detection of electromagnetic emission from these mergers provides vital information about merger parameters and allows independent measurement of the Hubble constant. The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) is expected to become fully operational early 2019 and its 30 deg$^2$ field of view will enable us to rapidly survey large areas of sky. In this work we explore prospects for detecting both prompt and long-term radio emission from neutron star mergers with ASKAP and determine an observing strategy that optimises the use of telescope time. We investigate different strategies to tile the sky with telescope pointings in order to detect radio counterparts with limited observing time, using 475 simulated gravitational wave events. Our results show a significant improvement in observing efficiency when compared with a naïve strategy of covering the entire localisation above some confidence threshold, even when achieving the same total probability covered.

description: The first angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy results from MgB$_2$ single crystals are reported. Close to the $Γ$K and $Γ$M directions, three distinct dispersions are observed approaching the Fermi energy, as can be assigned to the theoretically predicted $σ$ (B $2p_{x,y}$) and $π$ (B $2p_z$) bands. In addition, we also observed a small parabolic-like band centered around $Γ$, and attributed it to a surface-derived state. Good agreement between our results and the band calculations suggests that the electronic structure of MgB$_2$ is of a conventional nature, thus implying that electron correlations are weak, and may be of little importance to the superconductivity in this system.

Spectral Puzzle of the Off-Axis Gamma-Ray Burst in GW170817

description: Gravitational waves from a merger of two neutron stars (NSs) were discovered for the first time in GW170817, together with diverse electromagnetic counterparts, providing a direct clue to the origin of short gamma-ray bursts (sGRBs). The associated sGRB 170817A was much fainter than typical, suggesting off-axis emission from a relativistic jet. However the observed prompt spectrum is inconsistent with the spectral (Amati) relation and causes the compactness problem in the simplest off-axis model. We focus on this spectral puzzle and suggest a possible key that the off-axis emission generally comes from the off-center jet, neither the jet core nor the line-of-sight jet, if the jet structure is exponentially faint outward as inferred from observations. The off-center jet could be loaded with baryon or cocoon. The off-axis model predicts that roughly $\sim 10\%$ events are brighter at smaller viewing angles than sGRB 170817A, although the exact event rate sensitively depends on uncertainties of the off-center structure. The model also predicts outliers to Amati relation, providing future tests to reveal the central engine activities.
