description: The quality of asphalt binder recycling is largely dependent on molecular diffusion between virgin asphalt binder, aged asphalt binder, and rejuvenator. In this study, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were used to study diffusion and interaction mechanism of rejuvenating agent in recycled asphalt binder. The diffusion process of rejuvenator into virgin and aged asphalt binder was studied using a three-layered model. A mixture model of virgin and aged asphalt binder was built to evaluate the effect of rejuvenator on the molecular structure of asphalt binder, such as nanoaggregate behaviour and translational mobility. The simulation results of the layered model suggest that rejuvenator may improve blending efficiency of virgin and aged asphalt binder depending on temperature. The calculated inter-diffusion coefficients indicate that the rejuvenator diffuses faster into virgin asphalt binder than aged asphalt binder. The radial distribution functions of asphaltene, resin, and aromatic pairs show that rejuvenator causes the molecular structures of virgin and aged asphalt binder more similar to that of virgin asphalt binder. The rejuvenator reduces the self-association trends of asphaltene molecules, but saturates from local aggregation inside the rejuvenated asphalt binder. On the other hand, rejuvenator increases translational mobility of saturate, aromatic, resin and asphaltene fractions.

description: We present a detailed discussion of the implementation strategies for a recently developed $w$-stacking $w$-projection hybrid algorithm used to reconstruct wide-field interferometric images. In particular, we discuss the methodology used to deploy the algorithm efficiently on a supercomputer via use of a Message Passing Interface (MPI) $k$-means clustering technique to achieve efficient construction and application of non co-planar effects. Additionally, we show that the use of conjugate symmetry increases the algorithms performance by imaging an interferometric observation of Fornax A from the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA). We perform exact non-coplanar wide-field correction for 126.6 million visibilities using 50 nodes of a computing cluster. The $w$-projection kernel construction takes only 15 minutes, demonstrating that the implementation is both fast and efficient.

description: [abridged] We investigate the nature of the luminous X-ray source population detected in a (72 ks) Chandra ACIS-S observation of NGC 4038/39, the Antennae galaxies. We derive the average X-ray spectral properties of sources in different luminosity ranges, and we correlate the X-ray positions with radio, IR, and optical HST data. The X-ray sources are predominantly associated with young stellar clusters, indicating that they belong to the young stellar population. Based on both their co-added X-ray spectrum, and on the lack of associated radio emission, we conclude that the Ultra Luminous X-ray sources (ULXs), with Lx>10^{39} erg\s, are not young compact Supernova Remnants (SNR), but accretion binaries. While their spectrum is consistent with those of ULXs studied in nearby galaxies, and interpreted as the counterparts of intermediate mass black-holes (M >10-1000 \msun), comparison with the position of star-clusters suggests that some of the ULXs may be runaway binaries, thus suggesting lower-mass binary systems. The co-added spectrum of the sources in the 3x10^{38}-10^{39} erg\s luminosity range is consistent with those of Galactic black-hole candidates. These sources are also on average displaced from neighboring star clusters. The softer spectrum of the less luminous sources suggests the presence of SNRs or of hot interstellar medium (ISM) in the Chandra source extraction area. Comparison with HI and CO observations shows that most sources are detected in the outskirts of large concentrations of gas. The absorbing columns inferred from these observations would indeed absorb X-rays up to 5 keV, so there may be several hidden X-ray sources. Associated with these obscured regions we find 6 sources with heavily absorbed X-ray spectra and absorption-corrected luminosities in the ULX range.

The Shape Dependence of Vainshtein Screening in the Cosmic Matter Bispectrum

description: One of the most pressing questions in modified gravity is how deviations from general relativity can manifest in upcoming galaxy surveys. This is especially relevant for theories exhibiting Vainshtein screening, where such deviations are efficiently suppressed within a (typically large) Vainshtein radius. However, Vainshtein screening is known to be shape dependent: it is most effective around spherical sources, weaker around cylindrical objects and completely absent for planar sources. The Cosmic Web therefore offers a testing ground, as it displays many shapes in the form of clusters, filaments and walls. In this work, we explicitly derive the signature of the shape dependence of Vainshtein screening on the matter bispectrum, by considering a cubic Galileon model with a conformal coupling to matter and a cosmological constant. We perform a second order perturbative analysis, deriving analytic, integral expressions for the bispectrum, which we integrate using hi_class. We find that the shape dependence of Vainshtein screening enters the bispectrum with a unique scale-factor dependence of $\propto a^{3/2}$. The magnitude of the effect today is up to 2 % for a model whose linear growth rate deviates up to 5 % from $Λ$CDM.

description: We derive the X-ray luminosity function (XLF) of the X-ray source population detected in the Chandra observation of NGC4038/39 (the Antennae). We explicitly include photon counting and spectral parameter uncertainties in our calculations. The cumulative XLF is well represented by a flat power law ($α=-0.47$), similar to those describing the XLFs of other star-forming systems (e.g. M82, the disk of M81), but different from those of early type galaxies. This result associates the X-ray source population in the Antennae with young High Mass X-ray Binaries. In comparison with less actively star-forming galaxies, the XLF of the Antennae has a highly significant excess of sources with luminosities above 10^{39} erg\s (Ultra Luminous Sources; ULXs). We discuss the nature of these sources, based on the XLF and on their general spectral properties, as well as their optical counterparts discussed in Paper III. We conclude that the majority of the ULXs cannot be intermediate mass black-holes (M > 10-1000 \msun) binaries, unless they are linked to the remnants of massive Population III stars (the Madau & Rees model). Instead, their spatial and multiwavelength properties can be well explained by beamed emission as a consequence of supercritical accretion. Binaries with a neutron star or moderate mass black-hole (up to 20\msun), and B2 to A type star companions would be consistent with our data. In the beaming scenario, the XLF should exibit caracteristic breaks that will be visible in future deeper observations of the Antennae.

description: We are developing a platform for generic curation technologies, using various NLP procedures, that is specifically targeted at, but not limited to, document collections that are too large for humans to (manually) read and go through. The aim then is to provide prototypical NLP tools like NER, Entity Linking, clustering and summarization in order to support rapid exploration of a data set. In this particular submission, the data set in question is the result of "Project Tongilbu”, a report funded by the Korean Ministry of Re-unification, on the unification of East- and West-Germany in the 1990’s. The majority of the content in this data set is in German, with small parts in Korean. With the collection being a set of PDF files, we first apply OCR to extract machine-readable text.
 Focusing on German, we then apply an NER model trained on Wikipedia data, retrieve URIs of recognized entities in the GND (Gemeinsame Normdatei, a German database of entities with additional information), perform temporal analysis and cluster documents according to the retrieved entities they contain. This is then visualized in a curation dashboard. Since support (in terms of tooling, but also training data) for Korean is limited, for the Korean texts we experiment with Machine Translation on the texts extracted from the PDFs, to then apply the German pipeline and project annotations back onto the original Korean text.

description: In in-utero MRI, motion correction for fetal body and placenta poses a particular challenge due to the presence of local non-rigid transformations of organs caused by bending and stretching. The existing slice-to-volume registration (SVR) reconstruction methods are widely employed for motion correction of fetal brain that undergoes only rigid transformation. However, for reconstruction of fetal body and placenta, rigid registration cannot resolve the issue of misregistrations due to deformable motion, resulting in degradation of features in the reconstructed volume. We propose a Deformable SVR (DSVR), a novel approach for non-rigid motion correction of fetal MRI based on a hierarchical deformable SVR scheme to allow high resolution reconstruction of the fetal body and placenta. Additionally, a robust scheme for structure-based rejection of outliers minimises the impact of registration errors. The improved performance of DSVR in comparison to SVR and patch-to-volume registration (PVR) methods is quantitatively demonstrated in simulated experiments and 20 fetal MRI datasets from 28-31 weeks gestational age (GA) range with varying degree of motion corruption. In addition, we present qualitative evaluation of 100 fetal body cases from 20-34 weeks GA range.

description: Using HIPASS data, we have searched for HI in a ~25x25 sq.deg. region centred on the Fornax cluster. Within a velocity search range of 300 - 3700 km/s and a lower flux limit of ~40 mJy, 110 galaxies with HI emission were detected, one of which is previously uncatalogued. None of the detections has early-type morphology. Previously unknown velocities for 14 galaxies have been determined, with a further 4 velocity measurements being significantly dissimilar to published values. Identification of an optical counterpart is relatively unambiguous for more than ~90% of our HI galaxies. The galaxies appear to be embedded in a sheet at the cluster velocity which extends for more than 30 deg across the search area. At the nominal cluster distance of ~20 Mpc, this corresponds to an elongated structure more than 10 Mpc in extent. A velocity gradient across the structure is detected, with radial velocities increasing by \~500 km/s from SE to NW. The clustering of galaxies evident in optical surveys is only weakly suggested in the spatial distribution of our HI detections. Our results suggest a considerable deficit of HI-rich galaxies in the centre of the cluster. However, relative to the field, there is a 3(+/-1)-fold excess of HI-rich galaxies in the outer parts of the cluster where galaxies may be infalling towards the cluster for the first time.

For secondary gravitational waves produced after the horizon reentry, we derive an analytical formula for the time integral of the source and analytical behavior of the time dependence of the energy density of induced gravitational waves is obtained. By proposing a piecewise power law parametrization for the power spectrum of primordial curvature perturbations, we use the observational constraints on primordial black hole dark matter to obtain an upper bound on the power spectrum, and discuss the test of the model with future space based gravitational wave antenna.

Quantifying Model Complexity via Functional Decomposition for Better Post-Hoc Interpretability

description: Post-hoc model-agnostic interpretation methods such as partial dependence plots can be employed to interpret complex machine learning models. While these interpretation methods can be applied regardless of model complexity, they can produce misleading and verbose results if the model is too complex, especially w.r.t. feature interactions. To quantify the complexity of arbitrary machine learning models, we propose model-agnostic complexity measures based on functional decomposition: number of features used, interaction strength and main effect complexity. We show that post-hoc interpretation of models that minimize the three measures is more reliable and compact. Furthermore, we demonstrate the application of these measures in a multi-objective optimization approach which simultaneously minimizes loss and complexity.

description: The finite-size critical properties of the ${\cal O}(n)$ vector $ϕ^4$ model, with long-range interaction decaying algebraically with the interparticle distance $r$ like $r^{-d-σ}$, are investigated. The system is confined to a finite geometry subject to periodic boundary condition. Special attention is paid to the finite-size correction to the bulk susceptibility above the critical temperature $T_c$. We show that this correction has a power-law nature in the case of pure long-range interaction i.e. $0=2σ$) critical dimensions.
Can neutrino-cooled accretion disk be an origin of gamma-ray bursts?

description: It is often considered that a massive torus with solar mass or so surrounding a stellar-mass black hole may be a central engine of a gamma-ray burst. We study the properties of such massive accretion tori (or disks) based on the $α$ viscosity model. For surface density exceeding about $10^{20}$ g cm$^{-2}$, which realizes when about a solar-mass material is contained within a disk with a size of $\sim 5 \times 10^6$ cm, we find that (1) luminosity of photons is practically zero due to significant photon trapping, (2) neutrino cooling dominates over advective cooling, (3) pressure of degenerate electrons dominates over pressure of gas and photons, and (4) magnetic field strength exceeds the critical value of about $4 \times 10^{13}$ G, even if we take 0.1 % of the equi-partition value. The possible observable quantum electrodynamical (QED) effects arising from super-critical fields are discussed. Most interestingly, photon splitting may occur, producing significant number of photons of energy below $\sim 511$ keV, thereby possibly suppressing e$^\pm$ pair creation.

description: D-fructose is a cheap and readily accessible carbohydrate that receives limited synthetic development compared to other carbohydrates, primarily due to the complex mixtures of anomeric product formed from simple protecting group chemistry. Synthetic development of D-fructose derivatives presents a significant opportunity for the discovery of novel synthetic products containing D-fructose, as well as improved access to important already known derivatives. From the outset, this work aimed to prepare a novel S-linked galectin-3 antagonist derived from lactulose, named thiolactulose (1-thio-β-D-galactopyranosyl-4-S-D-fructofuranose). In order to prepare thiolactulose, a C-4 thio fructose derivative first needed to be prepared. A C-4 derivative did not exist in the literature, leading us to assess several synthetic methods to produce this material. The most practical methodology was to use a Mitsunobu reaction to prepare a key tagato epoxide derivative that ring-opens to form products in the D-fructo configuration. A significant amount of optimisation of this process was required due to the formation of the inverse psico epoxide stereoisomer. Specifically, solving this problem led to a significant shift in project direction, with the majority of the work contained in this thesis using the Mitsunobu reaction in some capacity.

description: Solving the electronic structure problem on a universal-gate quantum computer within the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) methodology requires constraining the search procedure to a subspace defined by relevant physical symmetries. Ignoring symmetries results in convergence to the lowest eigenstate of the Fock space for the second quantized electronic Hamiltonian. Moreover, this eigenstate can be symmetry broken due to limitations of the wavefunction ansatz. To address this VQE problem, we introduce and assess methods of exact and approximate projection operators to irreducible eigen-subspaces of available physical symmetries. Feasibility of symmetry projection operators in the VQE framework is discussed, and their efficiency is compared with symmetry constraint optimization procedures. Generally, projectors introduce higher numbers of terms for VQE measurement compared to the constraint approach. On the other hand, the projection formalism improves accuracy of the variational wavefunction ansatz without introducing additional unitary transformations, which is beneficial for reducing depths of quantum circuits.

description: The majority of the oral neoplasms are oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) which have been traditionally linked to consumption of tobacco and alcohol. The human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is also significantly associated with OSCC progression. However, the prevalence of this cancer in people with no record of those traditional factors emphasized the possibility of another significant factor that potentially contributes to OSCC. Bacteria have been strongly associated with some cancers especially in gastric cancer. Several microbial metabolites are categorised as carcinogens that suggest the direct and indirect role of microbes in cancer development. The new insight into human microbiome using high- throughput technologies revealed the variation in the human microbiota between healthy adults and cancer patients that have not been achieved using low- throughput methods. The oral microbiota analysis in OSCC using high- throughput technologies limited to the analysis of the bacteria associated with the cancerous site and the analysis of OSCC’s intraoral microbiota is understudied. The human microbe-metabolite association with cancer was obtained previously, and the results indicated a potential use of human sample metabolites for the differentiation between healthy adults and cancer patients. However, the method employed in those studies was not ideal for the analysis of microbial metabolites independently from human metabolome. This is because that the accuracy and reproducibility of direct human sample metabolomics undergo variations with both human and microbial samples.

description: Globally, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality, representing 30 % of all deaths in 2005. The prevalence of CVD is predicted to increase steadily over the coming years and this has been attributed to a number of factors including an increase in overall life expectancy, as well as a projected increase in the number of people with common risk factors. As in most developed countries, Australia is experiencing a rise in the proportion of aged population, with current predictions estimating that by 2051, the number of people aged 65 years and over will increase from the current 2.5 million to 7.2 million. This is of particular concern considering the strong correlation between CVD risk and age. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and a lowered antioxidant status have been heavily implicated in the pathogenesis of several CVD states including hypertension, vascular disease, ischemic heart disease and chronic heart failure. Deficiencies in the essential micronutrient, selenium (Se), have been associated with an increased incidence and a worse prognosis of a range of CVDs. The biological function of Se is mediated through the selenoproteins, of which 35 have been identified to date. Although the selenoproteins have been implicated in multiple metabolic pathways, they are primarily recognised for their role in endogenous antioxidant defence. This thesis aimed to further evaluate the significance of Se and the selenoenzyme antioxidant systems in CVD pathogenesis and prevention, with particular emphasis on the Se status of the Australian population...

description: A number of supernovae, classified as Type II, show remarkably peculiar properties such as an extremely low expansion velocity and an extraordinarily small amount of $^{56}$Ni in the ejecta. We present a joint analysis of the available observations for two of these peculiar Type II supernovae, SN 1997D and SN 1999br, using a comprehensive semi-analytic method that can reproduce the light curve and the evolution of the line velocity and continuum temperature. We find that these events are under-energetic with respect to a typical Type II supernova and that the inferred mass of the ejecta is relatively large. We discuss the possibility that these supernovae originate from the explosion of a massive progenitor in which the rate of early infall of stellar material on the collapsed core is large. Events of this type could form a black hole remnant, giving rise to significant fallback and late-time accretion.

FCA-2022-0047 - Italian - Plain language summary of a study looking at heart muscle thickness and kidney function in women with Fabry disease who received agalsidase beta treatment
Creators: name: Wanner, Christoph

description: What is Fabry disease & what is this study about?
Fabry disease is a rare genetic condition that affects many different cells and organs in the body. People have Fabry disease when they inherit a GLA gene containing an error from one or both of their parents. This causes an enzyme in their body called alpha-galactosidase (also called α-Gal) to not work properly.

In people without Fabry disease, a-Gal breaks down fats called glycolipids. In people with Fabry disease, as a-Gal does not work properly, glycolipids build up in the body, particularly in the cells of the kidney, heart, nerves, and the cells that line blood vessels. People who have Fabry disease can receive an enzyme replacement therapy (ERT for short) called agalsidase beta, which acts as a substitute for a-Gal.

Although both males and females can have Fabry disease, it generally affects males more severely than females, and symptoms in females can vary significantly. Several researchers have studied the long-term effects of agalsidase beta ERT in males, but there have been fewer studies in females. This study looked at women with Fabry disease who started receiving agalsidase beta treatment when they were at least 18 years old, using information from the Fabry Registry (the largest worldwide database that collects and stores information about people with Fabry disease). The researchers evaluated heart muscle thickness (thickening can be a sign of poor heart health) and kidney function from 5 years before women with Fabry disease started agalsidase beta treatment to 5 years after they started treatment.

What were the study results?
Before women with Fabry disease started treatment, their heart muscle tended to thicken over time. After starting treatment, their heart muscle thickening slowed. Kidney function was similar to that of unaffected people both before and after treatment.

What do the results of the study mean?
This study provides a unique insight into the effects of agalsidase beta in women with Fabry disease. The findings suggest that agalsidase beta may slow heart muscle thickening and maintain normal kidney function in women with Fabry disease.

description: The Equivalent Widths (EW) of the He- and H-like iron lines produced in photoionized, circumnuclear matter of AGN are calculated with respect to both the reflected and the total continua. We found that the EWs with respect tothe total continuum may be as large as a few tens of eV, making them observable in bright Seyfert 1s by instruments on board Chandra and XMM-Newton. We apply our calculations to the XMM-Newton spectrum of NGC 5506 and found a good agreement with the data at the expense of a modest iron overabundance.

title: An Analysis of Policy, Institutions and Practice for Encouraging Climate-Resilient Adaptations in Coastal Agriculture in Bangladesh
Creators: name: Kundu, Shilpi
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: climate-resilient agriculture
subject: coastal Bangladesh
subject: adaptation
subject: sustainable development

description: Countries around the world are seeking to adopt effective adaptation measures to make agriculture more resilient to the impacts of climate change. Low-lying countries such as Bangladesh are highly vulnerable to sea level rise and other adverse climate change impacts. The most vulnerable coastal zones of these countries are often major areas of agriculture production and highly socio-economically disadvantaged. Therefore, there is a risk that climate change will undermine national prospects for food security, livelihood security and the realisation of sustainable development goals. Effective and efficient adaptation responses to climate change risks and impacts require comprehensive policies and programs, robust institutional arrangements and synergistic implementation backed by good governance arrangements. However, to date, only a few studies have investigated the policies, institutions and implementation practices that seek to promote climate-resilient adaptations in the coastal regions of Bangladesh. Thus, this research explores how policy and institutional effectiveness can be strengthened to enhance food security by identifying appropriate combinations of policy, institutional innovations and effective on-ground implementations to facilitate climate-resilient agriculture (CRA) in coastal Bangladesh. The research critically analyses the adaptation measures being undertaken in two case study locations in response to prevalent climate change risks. The findings highlight major gaps in policy coverage, shortcomings in inter-institutional coordination and missed implementation opportunities by stakeholders in coastal agricultural landscapes. The research consisted of (1) a systematic literature review, (2) policy and institutional analysis that included documentary analysis of relevant policies and interviews with 20 policy experts, implementation experts in government departments and non-government organisations (NGOs), and academics, and (3) analysis of agricultural adaptation practice on the ground, drawing on thematic analysis of 40 interviews and two focus group discussions with farmers in the two case study regions.
