description: Qubits built out of Majorana zero modes (MZMs) have long been theorized as a potential pathway toward fault-tolerant topological quantum computation. Almost unavoidable in these processes is Majorana wavefunction overlap, known as hybridization, which arise throughout the process when Majorana modes get close to each other. This breaks the ground state degeneracy, leading to qubit errors in the braiding process. This work presents a simple but precise method to predict qubit errors for dynamic hybridization which varies in space and time. This includes hybridization between four or more MZMs through topological or trivial regions, or both of them. As an illustration, we characterize qubit-errors for an X-gate. We demonstrate how to utilize the hybridization to implement not only arbitrary one-qubit rotations but also a two-qubit controlled variable phase gate, providing a demonstration of universal quantum computing.

description: Subwavelength arrays of quantum two-level emitters have emerged as an interesting platform displaying prominent collective effects that can be harnessed for applications. Here we study such arrays under strong coherent driving, realizing an open quantum many-body problem in a strongly non-linear regime. For this we introduce a novel approach to this problem in terms of a Dynamical Mean Field Theory (DMFT), paving the way for further studies. We show that the spectrum of scattered light, characterized by the famous Mollow triplet for a single atom, develops a characteristic lineshape with flat sidebands determined by dipolar interactions and relevant for experiments. Remarkably, this is to some extent independent of the specific geometry, but is sensitive to the ordered arrangement of the atoms. This lineshape therefore characterizes atomic arrays and distinguishes them from disordered ensembles and non-interacting emitters.

The blood and sweat drenched canvas: a social history of the survival of Aboriginal tent fighters during the depression and post war era in Western Victoria
Creators: name: Clarke, Eric
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: My Masters in Research topic is The Blood and Sweat Drenched Canvas: A social history of the Aboriginal Tent Fighters of Framlingham in Western Victoria. The story originated by my father, Eric Clarke senior, as he was one of these Tent fighters of this Post war era.

Many fighters before him, being his Uncles, all fought in those tents around the Agricultural shows in country Victoria.

Touring troupes of boxers and wrestlers toured across the state and in Australia, and it became a ‘phenomenon’. The Aboriginal people of Framlingham absolutely loved the idea of the fighting, because it became their ‘survival’. Many families where fed by the monies that the Mission men would bring home after each show.

The Indigenous people fought, not for the entertainment but for survival, even though it was recognised by most people, mainly Non Indigenous Australians, as fun and purely entertainment.

These fights became personal, community recognised and a culturally important activity.

In this research I explore the fighters themselves, their families and friends who knew about the history and facts about this phenomenon. It was gratifying to hear the stories in their own words and their own voices.

I have filmed these conversations and recorded them on DVD, so that people can get an idea about why, when and how these men left the missions to go off and earn money for the Mission’s survival.

In examining the content of the Interviews, I also look at how the interviews themselves become a link in the chain of understanding the past and influencing the future, so that tent fighting does not pass into oblivion with the passing of the last of those who were a part of it.
Precise velocity and acceleration determination using a standalone GPS receiver in real time
Creators: name: Zhang, Jiaying
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Precise velocity and acceleration information is required for many real time applications. A standalone GPS receiver can be used to derive such information; however, there are many unsolved problems in this regard. This thesis establishes the theoretical basis for precise velocity and acceleration determination using a standalone GPS receiver in real time. An intensive investigation has been conducted into the Doppler effect in GPS. A highly accurate Doppler shift one-way observation equation is developed based on a comprehensive error analysis of each contributing factor including relativistic effects. Various error mitigation/elimination methods have been developed to improve the measurement accuracy of both the Doppler and Doppler-rate. Algorithms and formulae are presented to obtain real-time satellite velocity and acceleration in the ECEF system from the broadcast ephemeris. Low order IIR differentiators are designed to derive Doppler and Doppler-rate measurements from the raw GPS data for real-time applications. Abnormalities and their corresponding treatments in real-time operations are also discussed. In addition to the velocity and acceleration determination, this thesis offers a good tool for GPS measurement modelling and for design of interpolators, differentiators, as well as Kalman filters. The relativistic terms presented by this thesis suggest that it is possible to measure the geopotential directly using Doppler shift measurements. This may lead to a foundation for the development of a next generation satellite system for geodesy in the future.
Other ways: intercultural education in Australian primary schools
Creators: name: Toner, Margaret
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The thesis explores the question of how primary schools might work with students to help them get to know and get along with people they perceive to be different from themselves. It describes and analyses how the ways of others are portrayed in recent national curriculum policies, initiatives and school programs and imagines other ways of bringing an intercultural approach to the development and delivery of curriculum for primary schools.

 Beginning with the Melbourne Declaration’s statement that the nation values the central role education plays in building a society that is “cohesive and culturally diverse and that values Australia’s Indigenous cultures” (MCEETYA, 2008, p. 4), the thesis examines primary schools’ capacity to fulfil these roles. It finds that though cultural diversity is generally met with good will and intentions in education, it is, nonetheless, given low priority in policy commitments and is treated superficially in most school programs.

The thesis develops an intercultural approach to learning as an integral part of learning to live together (Delors 1996). It starts with what people have in common, but goes to the question of how they might live together peacefully when they do not agree or when they have nothing in common, recognising that working with cultural diversity is at once challenging and rewarding. It develops and illustrates key principles and processes in examplars for interculturally focused classrooms and proposes an agenda for Australian schools based on the goal learning to live together.

description: Despite recent advances in wearable technology, interfacing movement assistance devices with the human body remains challenging. We present a stretchable pneumatic sleeve that can anchor an exosuit actuator to the human arm with a low displacement of the actuator's mounting point relative to the body during operation. Our sleeve has the potential to serve as an adaptable attachment mechanism for exosuits, since it can adjust its pressure to only compress the arm as much as needed to transmit the applied exosuit forces without a large displacement. We discuss the design of our sleeve, which is made of fabric pneumatic artificial muscle (fPAM) actuators formed into bands. We quantify the performance of nine fPAM bands of various lengths and widths, as well as three sleeves (an fPAM sleeve, a series pouch motor (SPM) sleeve as in previous literature, and an off the shelf hook and loop sleeve), through the measurement of the compressing force as a function of pressure and the localized pulling force that can be resisted as a function of both pressure and mounting point displacement. Our experimental results show that fPAM bands with smaller resting length and/or larger resting width produce higher forces. Also, when inflated, an fPAM sleeve that has equivalent dimensions to the SPM sleeve while fully stretched has similar performance to the SPM sleeve. While inflated, both pneumatic sleeves decrease the mounting point displacement compared to the hook and loop sleeve. Compared to the SPM sleeve, the fPAM sleeve is able to hold larger internal pressure before bursting, increasing its possible force range. Also, when not inflated, the fPAM sleeve resists the pulling force well, indicating its ability to provide anchoring when not actuated.

description: ReachBot, a proposed robotic platform, employs extendable booms as limbs for mobility in challenging environments, such as martian caves. When attached to the environment, ReachBot acts as a parallel robot, with reconfiguration driven by the ability to detach and re-place the booms. This ability enables manipulation-focused scientific objectives: for instance, through operating tools, or handling and transporting samples. To achieve these capabilities, we develop a two-part solution, optimizing for robustness against task uncertainty and stochastic failure modes. First, we present a mixed-integer stance planner to determine the positioning of ReachBot's booms to maximize the task wrench space about the nominal point(s). Second, we present a convex tension planner to determine boom tensions for the desired task wrenches, accounting for the probabilistic nature of microspine grasping. We demonstrate improvements in key robustness metrics from the field of dexterous manipulation, and show a large increase in the volume of the manipulation workspace. Finally, we employ Monte-Carlo simulation to validate the robustness of these methods, demonstrating good performance across a range of randomized tasks and environments, and generalization to cable-driven morphologies. We make our code available at our project webpage, https://stanfordasl.github.io/reachbot_manipulation/
Detection of hepatitis A virus in bivalve molluscs in Southern Vietnam using RT-PCR
Creators: name: Ho, Thanh
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Vietnam has a large area for raising bivalve molluscs, especially in Southern Vietnam. However, water quality in the aquaculture areas is seriously polluted and there is a high potential of Hepatitis A virus (HAV) contamination. Bivalve molluscs are filter-feeder species; therefore the cumulative risk of pathogens in their body is high. Vietnam currently lacks surveillance data for HAV. This study was conducted to evaluate the level of microbial contamination and the prevalence of hepatitis A virus in bivalve mollusc and seawater samples in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam and to find the correlation between HAV and bacterial indicators in the samples. This study also assessed the applicability of the currently used Europe Union’s sanitary controls for consumers (regulation EC no.854/2004) to bivalve mollusc production in Vietnam.
One-hundred and twenty samples, comprising 60 seawater samples and 60 bivalve mollusc samples (clam) were collected from various regions in Ho Chi Minh City and Ben Tre province, Vietnam from August of 2008 to May of 2009. The presence of Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli and faecal coliforms were analyzed. One-hundred percent of these 120 samples were found to be contaminated with faecal coliforms and E. coli. However, Salmonella spp. contamination in the samples was low (3.33%). The level of faecal coliforms and E. coli in bivalve mollusc samples was higher than that in seawater samples. There were a significant difference in the level of faecal coliform and E. coli contamination between the wet season and the dry season in both seawater samples and bivalve mollusc samples. However, there were no significant difference in them between high tide and low tide.

The HAV from 120 samples was concentrated by using a developed virus concentration method and the viral RNA was detected by RT-hn-PCR. The RT-hn-PCR protocol was set up to detect the presence of HAV in the samples. The results showed high sensitivity with this method. Detection limit of HAV determined by the RT-hn-PCR was 1 TCID50 per 25g of shellfish homogenate or 2 liter of seawater sample. The HAV was found in 21/120 (17.5%) of the total samples, in which 4/60 (6.67%) of seawater samples and 17/60 (28.33%) of bivalve mollusc samples were contaminated with HAV. The Chi-Square test showed that there was no correlation either between HAV and E. coli or between HAV and faecal coliform in total samples and in each sampling sites.

The results of this study clearly demonstrate that E. coli and faecal coliforms are not effective indicators for microbiological safety of bivalve mollusc products in Southern Vietnam since they did not reflect the presence of HAV in the bivalve mollusc products. In Vietnam, the currently used Europe Union’s sanitary controls (EC No. 854/2004) should not be used for the sole assessment of the quality of bivalve mollusc products. Improved shellfish depuration methods are needed to obtain virus-safe shellfish and reduce the risk for public health in Vietnam.

Strength and durability properties of alkali activated slag and fly ash-based geopolymer concrete
Creators: name: Adam, Andi
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The research focuses on the strength and durability properties of alkali activated slag (AAS) and fly ash based geopolymer concrete. Although there are numerous studies that have assessed the suitability of AAS and fly ash based geopolymer as the binder in concrete, the main focus of these studies has been the strength properties and durability in terms of chemical attack. Only limited research has been conducted on the chloride penetration and carbonation of these concretes – the main causes of degradation of concrete structures in practice. This study provides new insight into the strength development and the durability performance in terms of chloride and carbonation resistance.

The effect of sodium oxide dosage and activator modulus on the compressive strength of mortar specimens was explored and the results used to design suitable AAS and geopolymer concrete mixes.
Concrete testing has included measurements of workability, compressive strength, water sorptivity, depth of carbonation, rapid chloride permeability, and chloride ponding. Microstructure studies were conducted, using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDAX), to investigate the effect of different mix formulation on the microstructure, porosity and micro cracks.

The study of variables affecting the strength demonstrated that both the sodium oxide dosage and the activator modulus are suitable variables for designing AAS and geopolymer concrete mixes.

It is concluded that AAS and fly ash based geopolymer concretes can exhibit comparable strength to OPC and slag-blended OPC concretes. However, with regards to the durability properties such as water sorptivity, chloride and carbonation resistance; the AAS concrete was found to not perform well as a result of surface cracking dominating these characteristics. The fly ash based geopolymer concrete performed better in water sorptivity and chloride penetration tests than the OPC concrete, the slag-blended OPC concrete, and the AAS concrete. It was found that the fly ash based geopolymer concretes exhibited high charge and high conductivity in the accelerated chloride diffusion tests. However it was concluded that this is a reflection of the concentration and composition of the free ions present rather than the ability to resist the diffusion of chloride ions.

description: It is an important feature of our existing physical theories that observables generate one-parameter groups of transformations. In classical Hamiltonian mechanics and quantum mechanics, this is due to the fact that the observables form a Lie algebra, and it manifests itself in Noether's theorem. In this paper, we introduce Lie quandles as the minimal mathematical structure needed to express the idea that observables generate transformations. This is based on the notion of a quandle used most famously in knot theory, whose main defining property is the self-distributivity equation $x \triangleright (y \triangleright z) = (x \triangleright y) \triangleright (x \triangleright z)$. We argue that Lie quandles can be thought of as nonlinear generalizations of Lie algebras.
 We also observe that taking convex combinations of points in vector spaces, which physically corresponds to mixing states, satisfies the same form of self-distributivity.

Alternative strategies for the reduction of TDS in the western sewer system, Melbourne, Australia
Creators: name: Ibrahim, Trisha
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Over the past decade shrinking freshwater supplies have forced the Victorian government to investigate alternatives sources of water for domestic and industrial uses. A significant source of alternative water is treated effluent from wastewater treatment plants. Currently the concentration of total dissolved solids (TDS) has become a major factor limiting the usefulness of effluent for irrigation from wastewater treatment facilities such as the Western Treatment Plant (WTP). This project was designed to develop alternative strategies to the current approaches being employed by Melbourne Water and City West Water to reduce TDS at the WTP.

Detailed knowledge of the western sewer system was required in order to develop strategies for reduction of TDS at the WTP. This was undertaken by characterising the influent at WTP and the significant sources, domestic and industrial by applying an intensive sampling regime. The analysis of the data from the sampling investigation revealed key information required to propose TDS reduction strategies.

Two strategies were presented in this study. The first strategy became apparent through the data analysis of the inputs into the WTP. It was found that diverting a proportion of the influent at times when TDS concentrations were at the highest to either a sacrificial land site or a separate lagoon system could result in significant reductions in the TDS of the recycled water.

The second strategy investigated was an at-source approach. Industry was shown to have the highest contribution of TDS at the WTP. Since a significant amount of TDS comes from the pre-treatment of trade waste before discharge, an approach was investigated to eliminate neutralization prior to discharge in certain circumstances. The concept involved using the buffer capacity of the sewer to neutralise the acidic trade waste rather than using chemicals which contain high amounts of soluble inorganic ions.

Two industries were chosen for case studies to investigate the feasibility of this concept. The industries chosen were located in different catchments. The first industry was located in a domestic catchment whereas the second industry was in an industrial catchment. There were two elements to this concept, the first was conducted in the laboratory and the second was conducted in the field. The laboratory component consisted of titrating both the trade waste prior to neutralisation and the receiving sewer with a strong acid and base. This demonstrated the capability of the receiving sewer flow to cope with either strong acid or base additions. The field work consisted of discharging uneutralised trade waste into the receiving sewer. The pH of the trade waste and the receiving sewer were recorded throughout the event to show the impact from the addition of the acidic trade waste.

Both strategies investigated in this project were effective in demonstrating the potential of reducing TDS at the WTP.
Road trip <--> Home

description: The more we search outside of ourselves for answers, the less likely we are to be satisfied. Often, however, the external journey brings us closer to who we are as we experience the peaks and troughs of human existence. Ultimately, it is happiness that we seek. The idea and pursuit of happiness is a universal theme and I believe this search for happiness is also a search for home. Whether it is a physical or spiritual place, many of us search for that centre but the answer lies in the journey, not the destination.

Using the road trip as the vehicle for this search, I set out across the USA to connect with others who were on the same journey. I photographed people (who had moved from their birthplace for reasons such as love and better opportunities), and landscapes that evoke both home and the journey. The road trip can be an escape from home but also a search for it and so the resulting project became two distinct sections that weave and overlap.

description: We envision a future in which multi-antenna technology effectively exploits the spatial domain as a set of non-interfering orthogonal resources, allowing for flexible resource allocation and efficient modulation/demodulation. We may refer to this paradigm as orthogonal space-division multiplexing (OSDM). On the other hand, reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) has emerged as a promising technology which allows shaping the propagation environment for improved performance. This paper studies the ability of three extended types of reconfigurable surface (RS), including the recently proposed beyond diagonal RIS (BD-RIS), to achieve perfectly orthogonal channels in a general multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) scenario. We consider practical implementations for the three types of RS consisting of passive components, and obtain the corresponding restrictions on their reconfigurability. We then use these restrictions to derive closed-form conditions and explicit expressions for achieving arbitrary (orthogonal) channels. We also study the problem of exploiting the degrees of freedom (DoFs) from the channel orthogonality constraint to maximize the channel gain while maintaining the passive RS constraints, and we propose some initial methods with satisfying performance. Finally, we provide some channel estimation and RS configuration techniques within this framework, where the computations are assumed to be performed at the BS, and we derive some limits on the amount of overhead required to achieve channel orthogonalization with RSs. The numerical results confirm the theoretical findings, showing that channel orthogonality with passive RSs can be effectively achieved in practical environments as long as the direct channel is not significant with respect to the RS cascaded channel. We thus take some important steps towards realizing OSDM.

description: Провести анализ биоразнообразия ценных породных ресурсов животных, а также дать оценку его состояния, путям сохранения отечественных генетических ресурсов, их хозяйственно ценных качеств. Обсуждение. Представлен материал, свидетельствующий о необходимости сохранения ценных, редких и исчезающих пород сельскохозяйственных животных, характеризующихся высокими качественными показателями продукции, долголетием, плодовитостью, устойчивостью к заболеваниям, адаптивными способностями к экстремальным условиям внешней среды. Важность проведений указанных мероприятий связана с поглощением зарубежных пород отечественных стад, что привело к снижению генетического разнообразия и продолжающейся тенденции вытеснения редких и исчезающих пород и видов животных. Одним из путей сохранения животных, вызывающих у селекционеров озабоченность, является использование криоконсервации семени, которым активно занимается ряд ученых и профильных институтов. Значительный урон проблеме сохранения локальных пород наносит недостаточная эффективная законодательная база, а также отсутствие государственной поддержки программ сохранения этих пород. Вместе с перечисленными выгодами от разведения локальных пород, следует учитывать их роль в биологическом разнообразии пород скота. Заключение.

description: We report an experimental study of the magnetic properties of infinite-layer Nd1-xSrxNiO2 thin films by x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) at Ni L3,2 and Nd M5,4 edges. We show that at low temperatures the out-of-plane component of the Ni1+ spin-moment is characterized by a rapid increase for magnetic fields below 1T , followed by a slower linear increase reaching a spin-moment value of 0.25uB/Ni at 9T in the case of superconducting Nd0.8Sr0.2NiO2. On the other hand, the Nd M5,4 XMCD shows a clear paramagnetic behaviour, which make both Ni- and Nd-spin-sublattices fully uncorrelated.The magnetic field and temperature dependencies of the Ni L3,2 XMCD data can be explained by assuming an out-of-plane canting of the strongly in-plane anti-ferromagnetic ordered Ni1+ spins. A symmetry lowering of the NiO2 planes observed via four-dimensional scanning transmission electron microscopy, triggering a DMI, can be responsible of the proposed Ni1+ spin-canting at zero-field. The resulting out-of-plane weak-ferromagnetic coupling under magnetic field explains the relatively large spin-moment and its magnetic field and temperature dependence.

description: In this paper, we introduce the concept of using passive arm structures with intrinsic impedance for robot-robot and human-robot collaborative carrying with quadruped robots. The concept is meant for a leader-follower task and takes a minimalist approach that focuses on exploiting the robots' payload capabilities and reducing energy consumption, without compromising the robot locomotion capabilities. We introduce a preliminary arm mechanical design and describe how to use its joint displacements to guide the robot's motion. To control the robot's locomotion, we propose a decentralized Model Predictive Controller that incorporates an approximation of the arm dynamics and the estimation of the external forces from the collaborative carrying. We validate the overall system experimentally by performing both robot-robot and human-robot collaborative carrying on a stair-like obstacle and on rough terrain.

The shape of things to come: creating a planning culture in TAFE
Creators: name: Bell, Denise
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This action learning action research project was undertaken as a Ph.D by Project. It focuses on two TAFE institutes in South Australia that were brought together to form an Alliance in 1999 during a time of turbulent change. At this time the TAFE sector in Australia was responding to and continues to respond to external and internal influences. The task was to initiate and implement a planning and performance framework, using quality assurance continuous improvement and change management principles, embracing organisational learning and development processes and practices, across the two institutes that comprised the Alliance.

The action learning action research methodology used a project management approach as its change management strategy. The project entailed an ongoing process of reflection, planning, reviewing and improvement as the researcher and the institution worked to improve workplace practices at the macro level as well as within a subset of the organisation.

This research explored the interface between practitioner, researcher and planner working in an organisation. The project’s cycles of activity undertaken with reference to the literature provided a rich resource to bring together the elements of research and practice.

Nosotros: A Digitization Story Between a University Library and Its Latin American Community
Creators: Denis Lacroix
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2019

Collecting latin American and Caribbean materials for a large Canadian university

library in the twenty- first century now goes beyond the straight- forward acquisition of

traditionally published information sources. the widespread use of approval plans allows

academic librarians’ attention to turn to born- digital resources and to the preservation

of local ephemera. this is the case of the Nosotros digitization project described here

that includes videocassettes documenting latin American history and culture in Alberta,

Canada. subject and language knowledge remain essential abilities of liaison or subject

librarians who need to interact with community members, whether they are researchers

and/or content creators, in order to be seen as credible partners, and understand the

subject and its information sources. in the case of the Nosotros digitization project, Denis

lacroix, subject librarian responsible for spanish and latin American studies at the University

of Alberta, acted as the liaison between the University of Alberta libraries’ Digital

initiatives team and the Nosotros director and founder. the university library became the

catalyst in digitizing the collection of almost thirty years’ worth of audiovisual memory

and in sensitizing all the partners in the importance of media preservation and long- term

open accessibility and findability. the Nosotros project is much more than a digitization

project: it is the story of a collaborative initiative spearheaded by a subject librarian.

description: Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) increase programmer productivity and provide high performance. Their targeted abstractions allow scientists to express problems at a high level, providing rich details that optimizing compilers can exploit to target current- and next-generation supercomputers. The convenience and performance of DSLs come with significant development and maintenance costs. The siloed design of DSL compilers and the resulting inability to benefit from shared infrastructure cause uncertainties around longevity and the adoption of DSLs at scale. By tailoring the broadly-adopted MLIR compiler framework to HPC, we bring the same synergies that the machine learning community already exploits across their DSLs (e.g. Tensorflow, PyTorch) to the finite-difference stencil HPC community. We introduce new HPC-specific abstractions for message passing targeting distributed stencil computations. We demonstrate the sharing of common components across three distinct HPC stencil-DSL compilers: Devito, PSyclone, and the Open Earth Compiler, showing that our framework generates high-performance executables based upon a shared compiler ecosystem.

description: We address the role of noisy squeezing in security and performance of continuous-variable (CV) quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols. Squeezing has long been recognized for its numerous advantages in CV QKD, such as enhanced robustness against channel noise and loss, and improved secret key rates. However, the noise of the squeezed states, that unavoidably originates already from optical loss in the source, raises concerns about its potential exploitation by an eavesdropper. This is particularly relevant if this noise is pessimistically assumed untrusted. We address the allocation of untrusted noise within a squeezed state and show that anti-squeezing noise is typically more harmful for security of the protocols, as it potentially provides more information to an eavesdropper. Although the anti-squeezing noise may not directly contribute to the generated key data, it is involved in parameter estimation and can in fact be harmful even if considered trusted. Our study covers the effects of anti-squeezing noise in both the asymptotic and finite-size regimes. We highlight the positive effects and limitations of imposing trust assumption on anti-squeezing noise. Additionally, we emphasize the detrimental impact of untrusted noise in both fiber and free-space fading links. Our findings offer essential insights for practical implementations and optimization of squeezed-state CV QKD protocols in realistic scenarios.

description: While pulsar timing array experiments have recently found evidence for the existence of a stochastic gravitational wave (GW) background, its origin is still unclear. If this background is of astrophysical origin, we expect the distribution of GW sources to follow the one of galaxies. Since galaxies are not perfectly isotropically distributed at large scales, but follow the cosmological large-scale structure, this would lead to an intrinsic anisotropy in the distribution of GW sources. In this work, we develop a formalism to account for this anisotropy, by considering a Gaussian ensemble of sources in each realization of the universe and then taking ensemble averages over all such realizations. We find that large-scale galaxy clustering has no impact on the expectation value of pulsar timing residual correlations, described by the Hellings-Downs curve. However, it introduces a new contribution to the variance of the Hellings-Downs correlation. Hence, the anisotropic distribution of sources contributes to the amount by which the measurements of pulsar timing residual correlations, in our single realization of the universe, may differ from the Hellings-Downs curve.
