description: In this paper the results of some preliminary experiments are presented on non-thermal microforming of thin metal sheets with laser induced optical breakdown shock waves. Three sheet metal forming processes are realized with this method. The most deeply investigated process is laser stretch-forming, since the influence of parameters like defocussing, power density, pulse energy, number of pulses, and material could be worked out. The results show that uniform shaped domes with a dome height over 250 µm with diameters of 1.4 mm could be produced. Additionally, first investigations on laser stamping and laser embossing have been carried out, but are not presented in this paper.

description: La formation de biofilm dans les endoscopes est un problème important pouvant être responsable d’échecs dans le processus de retraitement. Nous avons étudié la capacité de survie d’un biofilm de Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae SB6610) formé dans un tube d’endoscope face à des stress chimique et physique. Cette souche, productrice d’une bêtalactamase à spectre étendu CTX-M-15, était responsable d’une épidémie associée à un défaut de retraitement des duodénoscopes et à sa capacité à former un biofilm. Nous avons observé la capacité de survie d’un biofilm de K. pneumoniae SB6610 de 72 heures, formé en système dynamique, soumis à quatre conditions : avant dessiccation, sans et après action du glutaraldéhyde 1% (GTA1%) ; après 15 jours de dessiccation, sans et après action du GTA1%. La biomasse du biofilm a été évaluée par dénombrement et observation en microscopie confocale. La capacité de recolonisation des survivantes a été observée au microscope optique dans un système dynamique de type flow-cell. Le pourcentage de survivantes après 5 minutes d’exposition au GTA1% est faible mais plus important après dessiccation : 6,82.10-3% versus 2,01.10-4%. Après dessiccation et action du GTA, les survivantes étaient capables de recoloniser le milieu et de former un biofilm en 8 heures, probablement en raison de la survie de « persisters » viables mais non cultivables dans le biofilm. Nos observations soulignent que les recommandations actuelles de retraitement des endoscopes doivent être strictement suivies mais qu’une fois le biofilm constitué dans l’endoscope, il peut être très difficile à éradiquer avec les pratiques actuelles.

description: Control of the processes of survival and differentiation of immature neurons non-newly generated immature neurons nng-Ins in the cortical areas of the brain is important for preventing the development of neurological dysfunction in disorders of brain development and physiological aging. We used olfactory stimuli (OS) in the dynamics of postnatal development (P21, P60) in CD1 mice. They have been exposed to the protocol of simulation and assessment of the piriform cortex activation upon olfactory stimuli presentation. Then, at 2 hours, 24 hours, and 7 days after stimuli presentation, we analyzed parameters of learning and memorization, social recognition, anxiety as well as the patterns of expression of nng-INs markers (DCX, PSA-NCAM), proliferation marker (Ki67), marker of postmitotic cortical neurons (Tbr1), and immediate early gene c-fos expression as a marker of neuronal activation. We found that in the period from 2 to 60 days of mice postnatal development, proliferating and non-proliferating cells co-expressing DCX and PSA-NCAM were present in the piriform cortex (PC) and responded to the presentation of olfactory stimuli. Activation of nng-INs (DCX+ PSA-NCAM+ Ki67-) in the OS-stimulated brain plasticity is more evident in the immature developing PC, whereas appearance of mitotically active neuroblasts (DCX+ PSA-NCAM+ Ki67+), presumably, coming from other neurogenic niches of the brain upon OS-driven PC activation as well as stimulus-induced differentiation of locally present nng-INs might dominate in the mature piriform cortex (P60). Thus, immature neurons in the PC might contribute to the brain plasticity in the early ontogenesis.

VDAC2-dependent regulation of the mitochondrial apoptotic mediators, Bak and Bax
Creators: name: Nguyen, Thanh Ngoc
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Bak and Bax are the central mediators of the intrinsic programmed cell death. During apoptosis, structural re-organization of Bax and Bak induced by activated BH3-only proteins allows them to form oligomers to permeabilise the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM). Although structural studies have provided crucial evidence for conformational changes of Bak and Bax in response to apoptotic signals, the regulation of Bak and Bax in unstimulated cells remains to be fully deciphered. Voltage-dependent anion channel isoform 2 (VDAC2) has been reported to both negatively and positively regulate proapoptotic activity of Bak. This thesis further clarifies and characterises the BakVDAC2 interaction and possible involvement of VDAC2 in Bax regulation at the MOM. The absence of VDAC2 in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) prevented efficient mitochondrial import of Bak leading to less Bak present at the MOM and a significant population of cytosolic Bak. It was also found that the mislocalised cytosolic Bak in Vdac2-/- MEFs is rapidly degraded via an unknown mechanism, potentially contributing to the low Bak total level in Vdac2-/- MEFs. The direct interaction between Bak and VDAC2 was successfully confirmed and VDAC2 was shown to be a crucial component of the inactive Bak complex. Sitedirected mutagenesis study also revealed that both cytosolic and transmembrane domains of Bak are essential for modulating the formation of the Bak-VDAC2 complex. Potential components of the Bak-VDAC2 complex were identified using mass spectrometry. The ability of VDAC2 to interfere with pro-apoptotic activity of Bax was reexamined and VDAC2 appeared to facilitate the efficient association and translocation of Bax to mitochondria. Bax associated with VDAC2 within a 440 kDa complex that was independent of Bak. Whether VDAC2 has an inhibitory effect on Bax after its integration into the MOM requires further investigation. To further evaluate the obtained results from Vdac2-/- MEFs, VDAC2-deficient HCT116 cells were successfully generated using TALEN technology. Initial characterisation supported the important role of VDAC2 in the biogenesis of the 440 kDa Bak and Bax complexes and in regulating Bak expression level within human cells. In conclusion, VDAC2 specifically regulates mitochondrial apoptosis through modulating pro-apoptotic functions of Bak and Bax. The work in this thesis provides important insights into a critical step of Bak and Bax regulation by nonBcl-2 proteins.

Biomimetic Manipulator Control Design for Bimanual Tasks in the Natural Environment
Creators: name: Smith, Alex
Publisher: name: Plymouth University
Year: 2016

description: As robots become more prolific in the human environment, it is important that safe operational procedures are introduced at the same time; typical robot control methods are often very stiff to maintain good positional tracking, but this makes contact (purposeful or accidental) with the robot dangerous. In addition, if robots are to work cooperatively with humans, natural interaction between agents will make tasks easier to perform with less effort and learning time. Stability of the robot is particularly important in this situation, especially as outside forces are likely to affect the manipulator when in a close working environment; for example, a user leaning on the arm, or task-related disturbance at the end-effector. Recent research has discovered the mechanisms of how humans adapt the applied force and impedance during tasks. Studies have been performed to apply this adaptation to robots, with promising results showing an improvement in tracking and effort reduction over other adaptive methods. The basic algorithm is straightforward to implement, and allows the robot to be compliant most of the time and only stiff when required by the task. This allows the robot to work in an environment close to humans, but also suggests that it could create a natural work interaction with a human. In addition, no force sensor is needed, which means the algorithm can be implemented on almost any robot. This work develops a stable control method for bimanual robot tasks, which could also be applied to robot-human interactive tasks. A dynamic model of the Baxter robot is created and verified, which is then used for controller simulations. The biomimetic control algorithm forms the basis of the controller, which is developed into a hybrid control system to improve both task-space and joint-space control when the manipulator is disturbed in the natural environment. Fuzzy systems are implemented to remove the need for repetitive and time consuming parameter tuning, and also allows the controller to actively improve performance during the task. Experimental simulations are performed, and demonstrate how the hybrid task/joint-space controller performs better than either of the component parts under the same conditions. The fuzzy tuning method is then applied to the hybrid controller, which is shown to slightly improve performance as well as automating the gain tuning process. In summary, a novel biomimetic hybrid controller is presented, with a fuzzy mechanism to avoid the gain tuning process, finalised with a demonstration of task-suitability in a bimanual-type situation.
Locating pleasure: narratives of women's intimate experiences in the quest for sexual wellbeing in contemporary Vietnam

Year: 2023

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society, Faculty of Health Sciences, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

This study investigates how sexuality and sexual pleasure are interpreted and experienced by young married women in contemporary Vietnam. To this end, twenty professionally educated women aged between 25 and 40 currently living in Hanoi were recruited through various media to participate in semi-structured interviews. This method was supplemented with documentary analysis of Lita Am, a contemporary magazine for Vietnamese women. Thematic analysis suggests that pleasure is currently being interpreted by respondents as an accessory to a discourse of 'modernity-as-fashion statement'. Thus, by embracing notions of pleasure pursuit and the achievement of this aim, many of them wish to stake a claim for modem status and are subsequently working to promote the idea that they are no longer traditional in this particular domain of social life. The ambiguities of this new freedom, brought about by this progressive discourse of sexual pleasure, have, to some extent, allowed these 'modem' women a path to strategically negotiate traditional interpretations of sexuality and gender roles within their spousal relationships. However, the wider social forces traditionally associated with Vietnamese gender ideology remain firmly in place, continuing to affect their everyday lives as working wives and mothers as well as their pursuit of pleasure as wellbeing in its fullest sense. Therefore, 'matrimonial duties' are still being tactically negotiated on an individual basis to maintain the harmony of the family unit.

description: We study a zero-sum stochastic differential game (SDG) in which one controller plays an impulse control while their opponent plays a stochastic control. We consider an asymmetric setting in which the impulse player commits to, at the start of the game, performing less than q impulses (q can be chosen arbitrarily large). In order to obtain the uniform continuity of the value functions, previous works involving SDGs with impulses assume the cost of an impulse to be decreasing in time. Our work avoids such restrictions by requiring impulses to occur at rational times. We establish that the resulting game admits a value, and in turn, the existence and uniqueness of viscosity solutions to an associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman-Isaacs quasi-variational inequality.

As an ancient DNA study has evolved from the 1980s to the present days it has experienced peak of inflated expectations, dramatic fall to trough of disillusionment and slope of enlightenment with exponential data accumulation after the successful introduc-tion of NGS approach. Today ancient DNA study is a rapidly developing and facilitated by advanced technologies science that challenges our assumptions about the past by analyzing over a million-year-old ancient specimens. Here we provide an overview of peculiar properties of ancient DNA analysis of human and microbes genomes.

description: Selenium and its compounds are promising immunomodulatory agents. We studied the ability of selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) and their combination with immunoglobulins (IgG) to influence the functional responses of immune cells and the expression profile of “stress associated”. The cytotoxic effect of Se NPs was also studied in primary and immortalized cell cultures. Se NPs were obtained by laser ablation in water followed by fragmentation. Fragmentation control was performed using acoustic and optical methods of size estimation. The size distribution of Se NPs was narrow and an average size was 100 nm. The Se NPs did not exhibit cytotoxicity against fibroblasts, hepatocytes and cell line L-929. Weak cytotoxicity was found for the HL-60 granulocyte-like culture. On a surviving culture of mouse granulocytes, no cytotoxic effect was found. The addition of Se NPs in combination with IgG can modulate the maximum and total production of ROS by murine granulocytes induced by W-peptide and PMA and modulate the proportion of granulocytes with calcium responses to Wp. Se NPs modulate the action of IgG on the physiological responses of granulocytes. In the study of gene expression, similar patterns were found. Se NPs increase the expression of HSP90, NFkb, Xrcc4, SOD2 genes; IgG enhances the effect of Se NPs, while IgG decreased the expression of these genes. This phenomenon can be explained by the interaction between Se NPs and IgG. Data of spectral methods showed the binding of IgG to Se NP surface and a partial change in the spatial structure of IgG.

description: SABRE (Signal Amplification By Reversible Exchange) has become a widely used method for hyper-polarizing nuclear spins, thereby enhancing their Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) signals by orders of magnitude. In SABRE experiments, the non-equilibrium spin order is transferred from parahydrogen to a substrate in a transient organometallic complex. The applicability of SABRE is expanded by the methodology of SABRE-relay in which polarization can be relayed to a second substrate either by direct chemical exchange of hyperpolarized nuclei or by polarization transfer between two substrates in a second organometallic complex. To understand the mechanism of the polarization transfer and study the transfer efficiency, we propose a theoretical approach to SABRE-relay, which can treat both spin dynamics and chemical kinetics as well as the interplay between them. The approach is based on a set of equations for the spin density matrices of the spin systems involved (i.e., SABRE substrates and complexes), which can be solved numerically. Using this method, we perform a detailed study of polarization formation and analyze in detail the dependence of the attainable polarization level on various chemical kinetic and spin dynamic parameters. We foresee the applications of the present approach for optimizing SABRE-relay experiments with the ultimate goal of achieving maximal NMR signal enhancements for substrates of interest.

An increase in the degree and rate of erythrocyte aggregation in a quarter of cases, regardless of the observation period, was accompanied by inhibition of erythrocyte disaggregation mechanisms, which can serve as a pathophysiological basis for the formation of hemorheological disorders both in the microand macrovasculature in the first 3 months after recovery.

description: Erythrocytes, performing their basic oxygen transport function, simultaneously affect blood viscosity by changing the deformability of their structure, and also have a vasodilating effect on the walls of blood vessels using NO. An important role in this regulation is played by the purinergic signaling system, which was confirmed by this study of the morphofunctional parameters of red blood cells in the presence of ATP and sodium nitroprusside (SNP). We found that under the action of 0.5 mM ATP on red blood cells, the ability of hemoglobin (Hb) to bind oxygen decreases against the background of a slight increase in complexes with oxygen, while the total number of membrane-cytoskeletal proteins also decreases. This, in turn, is accompanied by a redistribution of Hb molecules and an increase in the area of ​​red blood cells. In the presence of 5.0 mM ATP, the oxygen transport function of erythrocytes and the quantitative composition of membrane proteins change similarly, while the geometric height and volume of the cells are significantly reduced. The combined effect of 100 μM SNP and 0.5 mm ATP has the greatest effect on the conformation of hemoporphyrin molecules, which leads to a sharp increase in hemoglobin complexes with oxygen, while the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen decreases. The membrane-cytoplasmic component of the cell also undergoes changes. Thus, ATP, both separately and in combination with SNP, affects the oxygen transport and regulatory function of red blood cells, activating the purinergic signaling pathway and triggering a cascade of adaptation reactions in the cell.
“Pay attention asshole . . .”: contested place: the dialogue of graffiti in a contemporary urban community

Year: 2023

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in full fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts to the School of Social Sciences, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

This thesis explores the central research question: “What is the dynamic social and political role of “graffiti” in the neighbourhood of Fitzroy, and how is this expressed in the practice and aesthetic expression of graffiti as contested in urban public space?” Graffiti is a dynamic form of expression that is performed and negotiated amongst numerous competing social groups. Such expressions and relations were experienced and recorded during eighteen months of fieldwork in Melbourne’s inner-north suburb of Fitzroy and are described both historically and through numerous fieldwork vignettes. At the heart of graffiti is a contest over what might be described as “public space” and contemporary theoretical perspectives on “space” are explored to assist in understanding the dynamic social practice that is graffiti. This contestation is based around distinct yet overlapping aesthetic and moral values. This includes between graffiti writers themselves and different forms of graffiti, and at a more fundamental level, between graffitists and the state, including legal ideas of ownership. Despite increasing acceptance of graffiti in recent years, ongoing negotiations of individual and group expression within contested and politicized “public” space ensures the ever-changing mode of visual expression within the urban environment. Graffiti has become part of the social fabric of Fitzroy and can be seen as a dynamic arena of social and political expression and contestation around the visual expression of identity in “public” yet sometimes privately owned space.

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the Department of Human Biosciences, Faculty of Health Sciences, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

The neuropeptide galanin has an important role in promoting alcohol consumption and general feeding behaviour. Galanin acts by binding to three receptor subtypes located within brain regions that play a key role in addiction. This thesis explores the role of galanin in alcohol-seeking behaviour with specific investigation into the galanin-3 receptor (GALR3) as a potential target for the treatment of alcohol abuse disorders. Studies outlined in this thesis are the first to demonstrate that treatment with the GALR3 antagonist, SNAP 37889, significantly reduced operant responding for alcohol and prevents cue-induced reinstatement of drug-seeking behaviour in rats. Chapters 3-5 describe autoradiographical binding studies carried out in the brains of alcohol-preferring (P) rats. These studies have identified specific regions where galanin may contribute to alcohol consumption. Given the influence of genetic background on the risk for alcoholism, Chapter 3 compared the brains of P and non-preferring (NP) rats and describes innate differences found in the galanin system, which may contribute to alcohol preference in these species. Chapter 4 broadly explored the role of galanin in reward-seeking and describes changes in galanin receptor density that occurred in regions of the brain following chronic consumption of ethanol, sucrose or saccharin. Chapter 5 describes significant changes in the brain of ethanol-naïve P rats, caused by acute and chronic treatment with the galanin-3 receptor antagonist, SNAP 37889. Behavioural experiments in Chapter 6 evaluated the use of GALR3 antagonists in reducing the motivational properties of alcohol and reducing relapse behaviour following abstinence. Taken together, data presented in this thesis indicate the involvement of galanin within subregions of the rat brain that are known to play a role in food consumption, rewardprocessing and addiction. In addition, results from these studies indicate the involvement of XXII GALR3 in motivational processes and relapse behaviours, which suggests that GALR3 antagonists may be of use in treating these aspects of alcoholism.

description: We show that the propensity of a bank to experience extreme comovements in its credit default swap premia together with the market is priced in the bank’s default swap spread during the financial crisis. We measure a bank’s CDS tail beta by estimating the upper tail dependence between its default swap spreads and a credit default swap market index. Our study shows that protection sellers receive a premium for bearing the risk of extreme upward comovements in default risk. The economic significance of this effect is large yet limited to the recent financial crisis. Banks in the upper quintile of CDS tail beta have spreads that are on average 140 basis points higher than those of banks in the lower CDS tail beta quintile.

description: The effect of therapeutic technologies used in the treatment of burns on the parameters of nitrogen metabolism has not been sufficiently studied. In this regard, the assessment of the level of nitrites and nitrates of blood and tissues in combined thermal trauma (CTT) under the influence of NO is of scientific and practical interest. The aim of the study was to determine the concentration of nitric oxide metabolites in the blood and organs under the influence of NO during CTT. The experiment was carried out on white male rats of the Wistar line. CTT (contact burn on the area of 20% of the body surface and thermal inhalation exposure for 20–30 seconds) was applied under anesthesia. Animals with CTT were treated daily with intraperitoneal injections of a 10% dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNIC) solution or were inhaled with NO (20ppm). The concentration of nitrites and nitrates was determined in the blood plasma and homogenate of the liver, heart, kidneys, and lungs. CTT was accompanied by hyperproduction of NO in blood plasma on the 1st, 7th and 10th days after injury with a maximum growth on the 1st day. The largest decrease in NO2and NO3levels during CTT was observed in the kidneys > liver > lungs > heart. The use of DNIC in CTT led to an increase in NO2and NO3in the organs. Inhalations of NO during CTT increased the concentration of NO2and NO3in the homogenate of the lungs > kidneys > heart > liver.

description: We identify the families of states that maximise some recently proposed quantifiers of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering and the volume of the Quantum Steering Ellipsoid (QSE). The optimal measurements which maximise genuine EPR steering measures are discussed and we develop a novel way to find them using the QSE. We thus explore the links between genuine EPR steering and the QSE and introduce states that can be the most useful for one-sided device-independent quantum cryptography for a given amount of noise.

description: Le risque infectieux en établissement psychiatrique est principalement un risque infectieux collectif, lié à des pratiques de soins particulières et à la vie collective. En parallèle, une grande importance doit être accordée au respect des droits et libertés des patients. À la suite de la première vague épidémique liée à la Covid-19, un plan de gestion de crise de l’établissement a été adopté en vue d’anticiper une éventuelle prochaine vague tout en assurant un bon équilibre entre droits des patients et maîtrise du risque infectieux. Pour cela, une stratégie d’organisation des unités avec des actions graduées par paliers a été mise en place. Ces nouvelles mesures ont ensuite été évaluées du point de vue de la maîtrise du risque infectieux, et de leur impact sur l’organisation des équipes. Cette organisation par paliers a permis de répondre aux objectifs fixés en garantissant un équilibre entre liberté individuelle et maîtrise du risque infectieux. L’impact réel sur le risque de contamination est toutefois difficilement quantifiable. Elle a surtout permis de répondre aux attentes des équipes en apportant davantage de clarification et d’harmonisation.

description: Certain non-uniform strain applied to graphene flakes has been shown to induce pseudo-Landau levels in the single-particle spectrum, which can be rationalized in terms of a pseudo-magnetic field for electrons near the Dirac points. However, this Landau level structure is in general approximate and restricted to low energies. Here we introduce a family of strained bipartite tight-binding models in arbitrary spatial dimension d and analytically prove that their entire spectrum consists of perfectly degenerate pseudo-Landau levels. This construction generalizes the case of triaxial strain on graphene's honeycomb lattice to arbitrary d; in d=3 our model corresponds to tetraxial strain on the diamond lattice. We discuss general aspects of pseudo-Landau levels in arbitrary d.

An environmental history of Corner Inlet, Victoria, Australia.
Creators: name: Glowrey, Cheryl Anne
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: As an environmental history, this study explores the interactions between people and an estuary over time. I argue that the waters of the inlet have been central to the prosperity and identity of its people. Comer Inlet lies at the southernmost point on the mainland of Australia, encircled by the Strzelecki Ranges and the mountains of Wilsons Promontory. It opens to the seas of Bass Strait. The history of Comer Inlet is best understood by approaching it from the sea. This reveals a rich maritime history of shipping, ethnic fishing industries and the connections between farmers to the islands and coastal plains. In contrast to land-based settler histories of the area, defined by political and cultural boundaries, themes of identity and place, possession and dispossession are explored in the context of a water catchment and it's estuary. The relationship between the Bratowaloong and Comer Inlet is a major theme. Examining early European descriptions of the environment together with the stories and myths of the Gunnai, suggests a new understanding of how the land was managed by Aborigines and explores their relationship with the sea. Wilsons Promontory is a dominant feature in the history of Comer Inlet, important to the sense of identity of people physically, spiritually and economically over time. Responses to the management of the National Park have mirrored social attitudes towards nature nationally, as did the formation of marine parks in Comer Inlet. Examining the development of extensive protection of land and sea at Comer Inlet and the impact of this on locals is a theme of this study. This study, while at once local in perspective, is at the same time representative of other coastal communities of Australia that have, at their heart, an estuary. Themes of diverse responses to the environment, the tensions between insiders and outsiders, resonate elsewhere. In this way, the history of Comer Inlet reaches out to the broader Australian experience.

description: A comprehensive description of the spin dynamics underlying the formation of Ortho-Deuterium Induced Polarization (ODIP) is presented. ODIP can serve as a tool for enhancing Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) signals of ²H nuclei, being important probes of molecular structure and dynamics. To produce ODIP, in the first step, the D₂ gas is brought to thermal equilibrium at low temperature, here 30 K, so that the ortho-component, corresponding to the total spin of the ²H nuclei equal to 0 and 2, is enriched, here to 92%. In the second step, the orthodeuterium molecule is attached to a substrate molecule using a suitable hydrogenation catalyst such that the symmetry of the two ²H nuclei is broken. As a result, the non-thermal spin order of orthodeuterium is converted into enhancement of observable NMR signals. In this work, we perform a theoretical study of ODIP and calculate the shape of ODIP spectra and their dependence on the magnetization flip angle. These results are compared with experiments performed for a number of substrates; good agreement between experimental and calculated ODIP spectra is found. We also discuss the performance of NMR techniques for converting anti-phase ODIP spectral patterns into in-phase patterns, which are more suitable for signal detection and for transferring ODIP to heteronuclei, here to ¹³C spins. Experimental procedures reported here allowed us to reach signal enhancement factors of more than 1000 for ²H nuclei in the liquid phase. These results are useful for extending the scope of spin hyperpolarization to the widely used ²H nuclei.
