description: Aggregation is one of the most remarkable behaviours in the animal kingdom—a process that is usually governed by pheromones. Triatomines are blood-sucking bugs that act as vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease in mammals, including humans. Triatomines usually gather in roosting refuges by using aggregation pheromones of unknown chemical structure. In terms of vector control, one option to reduce triatomine–human contact is via capturing the insects into traps baited with lures based on such aggregation pheromones. As a first step towards this aim, we elucidated the aggregation pheromone in the triatomine Triatoma pallidipennis, using T. cruzi-infected and non-infected bugs. We used different extraction techniques and gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry for the identification. Also, two different bioassays were implemented for evaluating the attractant and arrestant activity of the pheromone. We found that T. pallidipennis produced short-chain aldehydes as attractants, and nitrogen-derived compounds as arrestants. We detected differences in the production and perception of these compounds according to whether animals were infected or not. These findings show that T. cruzi may influence triatomine chemical ecology and are promising tools for triatomine control.

description: Dieser Artikel untersucht, inwiefern ‚digitale Identitäten‘ Bestandteil der digitalen Souveränität sind und was man darunter verstehen kann. Ziel dieses Artikels ist es, die rechtlichen Grundzüge der novellierten eIDAS-Verordnung zu beleuchten, insbesondere im datenschutzrechtlichen Kontext, und mögliche Probleme bei der Umsetzung dieser Verordnung zu erkennen. Hierzu wird die Verordnung, insbesondere mit Blick auf datenschutzrechtliche Aspekte hin, auszugsweise untersucht und analysiert. Außerdem werden in diesem Artikel die Zusammenhänge zwischen der digitalen Souveränität, den digitalen Identitäten und dem Datenschutz aufgezeigt. Die eIDAS-Verordnung ist bereits ein guter Anfang, um die Digitalisierung für Identitätsdienste voranzutreiben. Allerdings wird sich noch zeigen müssen, wie die Verordnung in der Praxis umgesetzt wird.

description: We present an approach to a large class of enumerative problems concerning rational curves in projective spaces. This approach uses analysis to obtain topological information about moduli spaces of stable maps. We demonstrate it by enumerating one-component rational curves with a triple point or a tacnodal point in the three-dimensional projective space and with a cusp in any projective space.

description: Object detection has been a challenging task in computer vision. Although significant progress has been made in object detection with deep neural networks, the attention mechanism is far from development. In this paper, we propose the hybrid attention mechanism for single-stage object detection. First, we present the modules of spatial attention, channel attention and aligned attention for single-stage object detection. In particular, stacked dilated convolution layers with symmetrically fixed rates are constructed to learn spatial attention. The channel attention is proposed with the cross-level group normalization and squeeze-and-excitation module. Aligned attention is constructed with organized deformable filters. Second, the three kinds of attention are unified to construct the hybrid attention mechanism. We then embed the hybrid attention into Retina-Net and propose the efficient single-stage HAR-Net for object detection. The attention modules and the proposed HAR-Net are evaluated on the COCO detection dataset. Experiments demonstrate that hybrid attention can significantly improve the detection accuracy and the HAR-Net can achieve the state-of-the-art 45.8\% mAP, outperform existing single-stage object detectors.

description: This work presents a concise analysis of the world’s intangible cultural heritage (ICH) practices. The study’s analysis is performed in terms of the sustainable development goals (SDGs). To this end, a dataset from UNESCO for the period of 2008 to 2023 is used to generate three network models for the ICH and SDGs. Two network metrics are involved in the analysis, namely, closeness centrality and clustering coefficient. The generated networks are used to analyze the relations of the ICH and SDGs comprehensively. The findings show interesting facts about the international efforts to preserve the ICH of worldwide countries. It was also found that more information is needed to investigate the relationship between ICH and SDGs. Finally, the authors believe that there exists a bias in adopting SDGs for different continents, which could be due to the lack of information.

description: As common low penetrance variants associated with diseases are uncovered, attempts continue to be made to harness this knowledge for improving healthcare. Polygenic scores have been developed as the mechanism by which knowledge of common variants can be used to investigate genetic contributions to disease risk. They serve as a biomarker to provide an estimate of the genetic liability for a particular disease. Discussion continues as to whether polygenic scores are a useful biomarker and their readiness for incorporation into clinical and public health practice. In this paper, we investigate the key challenges that need to be addressed, in the description and assessment of the clinical utility of polygenic score-based tests for use in clinical and public health practice.

Watertables and salting in Northern Victoria : a case study of the perception and attitudes of landholders in the Kerang and Shepparton Irrigation Districts

Subjects: subject: Salinity Australia Victoria

subject: Saline irrigation
subject: Saltwater encroachment Australia Victoria

description: Recent research has suggested that a large proportion of agricultural land, both irrigated and non-irrigated, is affected by soil salting in the Southern Murray Basin. The solution to these problems requires first, a recognition at a community level that serious problems exist, and second, a recognition of both the local and regional effects of soil salting. The salinity problem has historically been worst in the irrigation districts of Northern Victoria. During the past five years the extent of the problem has increased to encompass all irrigated areas of Northern Victoria. Fast attempts to solve the problems created by salinity have created more intractable problems. These intractable problems include the problems of how to dispose of salt. Previously solutions have been based upon disposal into the major river system, that is the Murray. This practice has in turn resulted in a gradual deterioration in water quality, affecting all other end users. In this project a number of landholders have been surveyed in a pilot study in the Kerang and Shepparton Districts of Northern Victoria. In the survey a number of specific,issues are raised, including awareness of the effects of soil salting, the understanding of why these problems occur and action being taken in response to these problems. General comments are made as to the perceived relationship between irrigation and the development of salting, and the adaptation to the environment by landholders.

MAJOR FOOD COMPANIES AND THE "ENERGY BALANCE" NARRATIVE: IMPLICATIONS FOR FAIRNESS AND RESPONSIBILITY
Creators: name: Nathaniel James, Whitaker
Publisher: name: keith journal
Year: 2025
Subjects: Energy balance, thermodynamics, weight management, calories, nutritional value

description: Energy balance, a fundamental concept rooted in thermodynamics, hinges on the equilibrium between energy intake and energy expenditure within an organism. This equilibrium, or lack thereof, plays a pivotal role in weight management. A positive energy balance occurs when energy intake surpasses expenditure, leading to weight gain, while a negative balance results from higher energy expenditure than intake, causing weight loss. This balance, commonly known as "calories in and calories out," has garnered attention from major food corporations that attempt to divert the focus away from the health implications of their products, including sugar-sweetened beverages and ultra-processed foods. Despite their nutritional deficiencies, these products are marketed to often uninformed consumers. This paper explores the critical concept of energy balance and its impact on body mass and weight management.

We also develop the special case in which the exchange $r$-matrix becomes the `canonical' solution of the classical dynamical Yang-Baxter equation on an arbitrary self-dual Lie algebra.

description: When it comes to network forensics in modern cloud-edge-systems, network forensics has become an urgent yet challenging field of work. Especially forensics of software-defined networks (SDN) poses some unique challenges that need to be addressed. This article hence addresses the methodological and strategic challenges of network forensics in modern complex software-defined networks using the ZeroTier Network as a practical example. In this context, detailed strategies and methods for clarification and preservation of evidence in SDN after common IT security incidents are derived from existing best practices in digital forensics. In addition, typical technical and legal issues and obstacles for forensic work in SDN are addressed in connection with IT security measures, and possible solution approaches are presented. Using an advanced SDN example, characteristic workflows of network forensics in SDN are discussed. The result of the work is ultimately a presentation of adapted and individually adaptable strategies and methods for applying targeted digital forensics in advanced SDN.
The getting of data : a case study from the recent industries of Australia
Creators: name: Johnson, Ian
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1979

description: Two obstacles stand in the way of satisfactory synthesis of Australian prehistory at more than a very general level. In the first place, excavation techniques have grown up to come to grips with the difficult piecemeal and have conditions posed failed by the undifferentiated sandy stratigraphies and low sedimentation rates typical of many Australian sites. In The second place, the piecemeal genesis of excavation techniques is reflected in the lack of established channels for the exchange of excavation data and in incompatibility between the information recorded by different workers. The first part of this thesis examines the prehistory of the Blue Mountains area, starting with a general review and leading to a more detailed study of the Noola and Capertee 3 sites. The study of these two sites suggests that the model of a site as a chronologically continuous sample may not be applicable even to sites with rich assemblages and that horizontal patterning is an important feature which must be taken into account when designing site sampling strategies. New dating of Capertee Site 3 confirms that backed implements appear in the site at about 3000BP. Following on from the Capertee 3 dating, a critical review of the literature relating to the appearance of backed implements and of other traits associated with the Australian Small Tool Tradition demonstrates that no dates older than about 5000BP have yet been substantiated for Small Tool Tradition assemblages, however it has not proved possible to tie the dating down accurately owing to the lack of data and imprecision of associations between dated samples and artefact assemblages. The concluding chapters are aimed at resolving some of the problems identified in the preceding discussion. Attention is focussed on methods of data recording, since standardisation of this aspect of excavation not only helps establish a framework for excavation onto which individual strategies can be grafted, but represents a first step in the direction of greater comparability between data collected by different workers. The discussion is completed by the documentation of a computerised system for the recording and analysis of excavation data. The use of such a system facilitates the analysis of the material and also generates a catalogue which can be duplicated for storage with the collection. It is suggested that future developments should be aimed at standardisation of basic classificatory and attribute systems in order to promote comparability between collections and thus provide a better information base for the synthesis of Australian prehistory.

Lake Mungo, an analysis of the surface collection
Creators: name: Robinson, J. G
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1980
Subjects: subject: Aboriginal Australians Antiquities
subject: Lake Mungo site (N.S.W.)

description: Prehistoric artefacts are being eroded from lunettes bordering dry lakes of the Willandra system in western New South Wales. At Lake Mungo the artefacts are found on two principal surfaces which were laid down when the lake was active. These Mungo and Zanci deposits have been radio-carbon dated to about 40,000 years BP and 18,000 BP respectively. The results of an analysis of the characteristics of the artefacts are presented. Following a summary of the geomorphological and climatic studies relevant to the formation of the lunette, the effect of erosion on the provenance of the artefacts was examined and it was concluded that artefacts up to 2 cm maximum dimension may be moved by surface flow following heavy rain. This was confirmed when the conditions were simulated experimentally but no support was obtained when the displacement of marked artefacts on the lunette surface was recorded. Problems associated with the detection and recognition of artefacts from a surface of a similar colour were assessed as being unimportant provided it is not intended to recover items smaller than about 1 cm in size. Smaller stones are likely to remain undetected. An analysis of the surface distribution of the collected implements was inconclusive due to the small sample size and the effect of chance displacement. In particular, an apparently statistically significant result is shown to have little archaeological relevance. The distribution of the more numerous unretouched flakes showed some correspondence with the older Mungo surface but movement of smaller flakes down the surface of the lunette was indicated also. A detailed comparison of the dimensions and characteristics of the implements was unable to identify major differences between those recovered from the Mungo and Zanci surfaces. However, the mean dimensions of both groups were considerably smaller than those of three other Australian assemblages of comparable age, including · two samples collected previously from the Lake Mungo lunette. In the latter case, however, it is suggested that the first surface collection from a given area may be biassed by erosion which has insufficient time to affect subsequent annual collections. The thesis concludes by discussing areas for further research which could lead to a more complete interpretation of the surface collection.

description: We present broad-band photometry and provide a quantitative analysis of the structure of galaxies in the inner region of the Abell Cluster 2443 (z~0.1). The galaxy parameters have been derived by fitting a two-component model (Sersic r^{1/n} bulge and exponential disk) to a magnitude-limited sample. Using a new method of analysis which takes into account the effects of seeing on the structural parameters and considers the ellipticity as an active parameter, we avoid systematic errors arising from assumptions of circular symmetry. 76% of the sample galaxies were classified with these models, the rest were morphologically peculiar. For the spiral galaxies, the relation between n and B/D is consistent with the trend observed in nearby field galaxy samples. The Sersic index n (which can be considered as a concentration index) of the elliptical galaxies is correlated with the local surface density of the cluster. Monte Carlo simulations were used to check the reliability of the method and determine the magnitude selection criteria.

description: We report results of the Chandra deep imaging observation of the closest post-core collapse globular cluster, NGC 6397. Some 25 sources are detected within 2 arcmin of the cluster center of which about 20 are likely cluster members with L_x ~ 3x10^29 erg/s. The x-ray spectra suggest identifications with 1 quiescent low mass x-ray binary (qLMXB) detected by the thermal emission from its neutron star (NS) and 9 cataclysmic variables (CVs), 8 of which are identified in our deep HST imaging survey (reported separately). Three (of 16) BY Draconis main sequence binary candidates identified in our earlier HST imaging study (Taylor et al) are detected of which one is indeed the counterpart of the eclipsing millisecond pulsar (MSP) recently located by D'Amico et al. Two other BY Dra candidates are also detected, whereas none of the probable He white dwarf (WD) binaries identified by Taylor et al are indicating they do not contain MSP primaries. The x-ray color magnitude diagram suggests that the remaining 5 probable cluster sources are a mixture of faint CVs, BY Dra binaries and MSPs. Compact binaries containing WDs appear to dominate this cluster, in contrast to those containing NSs in 47Tuc.

Oscillations Accompanying a He I 10830 Å Negative Flare in a Solar Facula II. Response of the Transition Region and Corona

description: We studied oscillations related to flare SOL2012-09-21T02:19 in the transition region and chromosphere based on Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) and Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) data, as well as data from a ground-based observatory. We found that 2-minute oscillations triggered by the flare first appeared in the RHESSI channels then subsequently showed up in the SDO 171 Å and 304 Å channels and after that in the chromospheric He I 10830 Å line. The delay of the chromospheric signal compared to the RHESSI signal is 7 minutes, which indicates that the wave perturbation propagated from the corona to the chromosphere. We used the sharp increase in 3- and 5-minute oscillations during the flare in the lower atmosphere to trace the propagation of the oscillation trains to the transition region and corona. The results show that the 171 Å channel signals lagged behind the photospheric and chromospheric signals by 200 s on average. We suggest that we observed slow magnetoacoustic waves both in the case of 2-minute oscillations propagating downwards from the corona and in the case of 3- and 5-minute oscillations leaking to the corona from beneath.

The coming of the gods : a study of an invocatory chant (Timang Gawai Amat) of the Iban of the Baleh River region of Sarawak
Creators: name: Masing, James Jemut
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1981

description: Traditionally, the Iban of Sarawak were swidden cultivators whose economy based on hill rice (padi bukit) depended upon the availability of virgin forest. Their farming practices, coupled with their dependence on the forest for its produce and game, and the social prestige attached to pioneers involved them in periodic migrations in search of new territory. In so doing they came into conflict with other tribes of Borneo who, like themselves, depended upon the forest for their livelihood. To be a successful pioneer an Iban had to be an effective warrior. To be an effective warrior, it was necessary, according to Iban belief, to have the assistance of their high god of war, Singalang Burong, commonly known as Lang. Lang was invoked by the performance of a gawai amat and the chanting of its associated timang. This timang depicts the gods on their journey to the world of men, and their subsequent participation in a ritual feast and other activities, at the end of which charms and blessings are bequeathed on the man who has performed this ritual. This dissertation has two objectives: i) the translation of the whole text of the timang gawai amat into an English version that captures the spirit and aesthetics of the timang as an oral tradition; and ii) the discussion of the place of this timang and its associated ritual feast in traditional !ban society. The views are advanced that this particular version of the timang came into prominence when the Iban, in migrating to new territories, were faced by the need to become effective warriors, and, that the continued performance of these ancient rites and chants, once integral to the cult of warfare and head-hunting, is an attempt by the contemporary Iban to maintain their identity in the face of their rapidly changing world.

description: IT departments are finding it challenging to keep up with the fast-paced need for digital solutions due to a shortage of skilled software developers. As a response, many companies are adopting low-code and no-code approaches to cultivate and empower a new cohort of employees: the citizen developers. While the practice community has been discussing the Citizen Development phenomenon for some time now, research lags behind, leading to a dearth of conceptual clarity in understanding the terms low-code, no-code, and Citizen Development. This paper connects the dots and proposes a more harmonized conceptual understanding of these related but distinct terms. Additionally, we explore the practical difficulties associated with Citizen Development approaches as identified by professionals in the field. Our key contribution is a clearer terminology and understanding of Citizen Development that can enhance both scholarly inquiry and practical application, facilitating clearer communication and more precise discussions.

description: We present new ALMA observations of the molecular gas and far-infrared continuum around the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) in the cool-core cluster MACS 1931.8-2635. Our observations reveal $1.9 \pm 0.3 \times 10^{10}$ M$_{\odot}$ of molecular gas, on par with the largest known reservoirs of cold gas in a cluster core. We detect CO(1-0), CO(3-2), and CO(4-3) emission from both diffuse and compact molecular gas components that extend from the BCG center out to $\sim30$ kpc to the northwest, tracing the UV knots and H$α$ filaments observed by HST. Due to the lack of morphological symmetry, we hypothesize that the $\sim300$ km s$^{-1}$ velocity of the CO in the tail is not due to concurrent uplift by AGN jets, rather we may be observing the aftermath of a recent AGN outburst. The CO spectral line energy distribution suggests that molecular gas excitation is influenced by processes related to both star formation and recent AGN feedback. Continuum emission in Bands 6 and 7 arises from dust and is spatially coincident with young stars and nebular emission observed in the UV and optical. We constrain the temperature of several dust clumps to be $\lesssim 10$ K, which is too cold to be directly interacting with the surrounding $\sim 4.8$ keV intracluster medium (ICM). The cold dust population extends beyond the observed CO emission and must either be protected from interacting with the ICM or be surrounded by local volumes of ICM that are several keV colder than observed by Chandra.

Return to empire : the sikhs and the British in the Punjab, 1839-1872
Creators: name: Major, Andrew J.
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1981

description: The thesis is a study of the political history of the Punjab between 1839 and 1872. Its purpose is to account for, and explain the significance of, the Punjab’s transition from Sikh kingdom to British imperial province. Early-nineteenth-century Punjab was essentially a frontier society, with vertical, clan-based political cleavages and a pronounced martial spirit. The Sikh kingdom, which emerged in the wake of the Mughal empire's collapse, was a military patronage state, whose structure reflected the nature of Punjabi society, and whose stability depended upon satisfaction of its chieftains’ ambitions through constant territorial expansion. When expansion stopped in the mid-1820s, tension ensued internally, especially after maharaja Ranjit Singh’s death in 1839. The British, who were in the process of building a new subcontinental empire, exploited these tensions, and in so doing, were drawn ever deeper into the kingdom’s domestic affairs. Punjabi collaboration and resistance determined the stages by which this penetration proceeded. A general crisis of authority in 1848 resulted in the annexation of the Punjab a year later after 1849 the British set about transforming the Punjab into a tranquil and prosperous territory. The cornerstone of their policy was the diminution of the privileges and influence of the old military and landed elites - in particular, the chieftains. but the imperial crisis of 1857-58 compelled the British to reverse their political strategy in 1857 the old, elitist military formations within Punjabi society were quickly revived - fortunately for the British, these formations were not yet extinct - and Punjabi collaboration enabled the British to survive the crisis. The decade after 1858 saw the institutionalisation of this reversal of policy. The attention of the old military and landed elites, having been turned outwards once again in 1857, was permanently diverted to the advantages of cooperation with the imperial state by the early 1870s, the Punjab was in many respects a changed region; but, as the subsequent political and economic history of the region shows, the old military and landed elites had managed to adapt themselves remarkably well to the changed political circumstances. the history of the Punjab between 1839 and 1872 is therefore essentially the story of the continuity - despite great vicissitudes - of an indigenous, dominant power structure and its system of values into (and, eventually, beyond) the period of European, colonial rule.

 Identification. This is the most common cervid in the dry forests of lowland Bolivia. Its overall color is grayish brown with the mid-back and outer side of legs a little darker and the throat, neck and venter grayish and lighter. It is smaller than Red Brocket Deer, Mazama americana (Erzleben, 1777) (13–23 kg vs 17–30 kg), which shows a reddish-brown coat overall with a contrasting whitish throat. Red Brockets do occur in the region but are rarer (Rivero et al. 2005), limited to taller forest, and were not recorded in this survey.

description: We study the expected performance of building a neutrino telescope, which targets at energy greater than $10^{14}$ eV utilizing a mountain to interact with neutrinos. The telescope's efficiency in converting neutrinos into leptons is first examined. Then using a potential site on the Big Island of Hawaii, we estimate the acceptance of the proposed detector. The neutrino flux limit at event rate 0.3/year/half decade of energy is estimated to be comparable to that of AMANDA neutrino flux limit at above $10^{16}$ eV.

description: 86 GHz Very Long Baseline Polarimetry probes magnetic field structures within the cores of Active Galactic Nuclei at higher angular resolutions and a spectral octave higher than previously achievable. Observations of 3C273 and 3C279 taken in April 2000 with the Coordinated Millimeter VLBI Array have resulted in the first total intensity (Stokes I) and linear polarization VLBI images reported of any source at 86 GHz. These results reveal the 86 GHz electric vector position angles within the jets of 3C273 and 3C279 to be orthogonal to each other, and the core of 3C273 to be unpolarized. If this lack of polarization is due to Faraday depolarization alone, the dispersion in rotation measure is >=90000 rad/m^2 for the core of 3C273.
