description: In cognitive control tasks, studies have reported a faster reaction time and a smaller conflict effect in bilinguals as compared to monolinguals. However, these findings are inconsistent across studies and sometimes absent. In the present thesis, the magnitude of the conflict effect was investigated using the response-signal and the stimulation of the motor cortex procedures by eliminating the reaction time distribution differences between the groups. In Chapter 2 (Experiment 1a), a mathematical model was used to investigate the decision processing mechanism in bilinguals and monolinguals by fitting reaction time and accuracy data to the linear ballistic model. The findings indicated no difference between groups and trial types in any of the model parameter estimates. In Chapter 2 (Experiment 1b), a reach-to-touch paradigm combined with the response-signal procedure was used to investigate the magnitude and the time course of the conflict effect in the Simon task. The findings demonstrated similar time points of onset and decay of the conflict effect between the language groups. In Chapter 3, a transcranial magnetic stimulation was used to investigate the time course of the conflict effect in the Simon task by recording motor evoked potentials at the level of the motor cortex. The findings suggested no evidence for the group differences in the magnitude and the time course of the conflict effect. In Chapter 4, a reach-to-touch paradigm was used to investigate the time course of the conflict effect in the Stroop task. The findings showed an early emergence of the conflict effect in bilinguals relative to monolinguals. Together, the results obtained from Chapters (2, 3, 4) provide no evidence for a bilingual advantage in the conflict effect across cognitive control tasks over a broad range of stimulus processing time. The findings are discussed with reference to the current theories of bilingual cognitive advantage.

description: Second-Harmonic Scatteringh (SHS) experiments provide a unique approach to probe non-centrosymmetric environments in aqueous media, from bulk solutions to interfaces, living cells and tissue. A central assumption made in analyzing SHS experiments is that the each molecule scatters light according to a constant molecular hyperpolarizability tensor $\boldsymbolβ^{(2)}$. Here, we investigate the dependence of the molecular hyperpolarizability of water on its environment and internal geometric distortions, in order to test the hypothesis of constant $\boldsymbolβ^{(2)}$. We use quantum chemistry calculations of the hyperpolarizability of a molecule embedded in point-charge environments obtained from simulations of bulk water. We demonstrate that both the heterogeneity of the solvent configurations and the quantum mechanical fluctuations of the molecular geometry introduce large variations in the non-linear optical response of water. This finding has the potential to change the way SHS experiments are interpreted: in particular, isotopic differences between H$_2$O and D$_2$O could explain recent second-harmonic scattering observations. Finally, we show that a simple machine-learning framework can predict accurately the fluctuations of the molecular hyperpolarizability. This model accounts for the microscopic inhomogeneity of the solvent and represents a first step towards quantitative modelling of SHS experiments.

description: We propose, for the first time, a valley Seebeck effect in gate tunable zigzag graphene nanoribbons as a result of the interplay between thermal gradient and valleytronics. A pure valley current is further generated by the thermal gradient as well as the external bias. In a broad temperature range, the pure valley current is found to be linearly dependent on the temperature gradient while it increases with the increasing temperature of one lead for a fixed thermal gradient. A valley field effect transistor (FET) driven by the temperature gradient is proposed that can turn on and off the pure valley current by gate voltage. The threshold gate voltage and on valley current are proportional to the temperature gradient. When the system switches on at positive gate voltage, the pure valley current is nearly independent of gate voltage. The valley transconductance is up to 30 μS if we take Ampere as the unit of the valley current. This valley FET may find potential application in future valleytronics and valley caloritronics.

description: Les monnaies retrouvées à Bibracte sont majoritairement des potins  c est-à-dire des pièces faites d un mélange d étain  de cuivre et de plomb  très facile à mouler en raison de sa fusibilité. Elles étaient utilisées pour régler les transactions de faible valeur. On y trouve également des pièces en argent  la plupart d un poids aligné sur un étalon commun  proche du quinaire romain (un peu moins de 2 grammes). Cet étalon avait été adopté à partir de la fin du IIe siècle avant notre ère par différents peuples de l est de la Gaule (Éduens  Lingons  Séquanes  Allobroges  etc.). À l exception d un statère arverne  les monnaies en or sont très rares. Les Éduens ont en effet interrompu la frappe de l or dès le début du Ier siècle avant notre ère. Les émissions gauloises autonomes se sont poursuivies jusqu à ce que l administration romaine installe un atelier impérial à Lyon  en 15 avant notre ère. La rareté des pièces frappées par cet atelier parmi les découvertes de Bibracte montre que l activité de l oppidum avait déjà fortement décru à cette époque.

description: Sub-nanometer and nanometer-sized tips provide high coherence electron sources. Conventionally, the effective source size is estimated from the extent of the experimental biprism interference pattern created on the detector by applying the van Cittert Zernike theorem. Previously reported experimental intensity distributions on the detector exhibit Gaussian distribution and our simulations show that this is an indication that such electron sources must be at least partially coherent. This, in turn means that strictly speaking the Van Cittert Zernike theorem cannot be applied, since it assumes an incoherent source. The approach of applying the van Cittert Zernike theorem is examined in more detail by performing simulations of interference patterns for the electron sources of different size and different coherence length, evaluating the effective source size from the extent of the simulated interference pattern and comparing the obtained result with the pre-defined value. The intensity distribution of the source is assumed to be Gaussian distributed, as it is observed in experiments. The visibility or the contrast in the simulated holograms is found to be always less than 1 which agrees well with previously reported experimental results and thus can be explained solely by the Gaussian intensity distribution of the source. The effective source size estimated from the extent of the interference pattern turns out to be of about 2-3 times larger than the pre-defined size, but it is approximately equal to the intrinsic resolution of the imaging system. A simple formula for estimating the intrinsic resolution, which could be useful when employing nano-tips in in-line Gabor holography or point-projection microscopy, is provided.

description: Numerical modeling of slope failures seeks to predict two key phenomena: the initiation of failure and the post-failure runout. Currently, most modeling methods for slope failure analysis excel at one of these two but are deficient in the other. For example, the Finite Element Method (FEM) models the initiation of instability well but quickly loses accuracy when modeling large deformations because of mesh distortion, restricting its ability to predict runout. Conversely, the Material Point Method (MPM) utilizes material points which move freely across a background grid, allowing for indefinite deformations without computational issues. However, MPM is restricted in its ability to model slope failure initiation due to limitations of the available boundary conditions and reduced accuracy of its stress distributions. The sequential hybridization of these two methods, initiating a model in FEM and then transferring to MPM, presents an opportunity to accurately capture both initiation and runout by a single model. The exact time for this transfer is not self-apparent, but it must be conducted after the initiation mechanism and before excessive mesh distortion. By simulating two granular column failures and two slope failures, we demonstrate the effectiveness of this hybrid FEM-MPM method and identify the appropriate time to transfer.

TCP/IP networking protocol analysis

description: Nowadays Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is known to be the most reliable network communication protocol capable of handling retransmission, packet loss, congestion control and more. In TCP/IP communication, packet loss and congestion are likely to have an impact on bandwidth. Performance is affected even at low packet loss rates, so with an enlarged rate of packet loss, a radical drop in bandwidth efficiency occurs. To identify the source of this unpredictable network performance, a thorough examination of TCP/IP traffic was conducted. This thesis studied the behaviour of the main protocols involved in the 4 layers of the TCP/IP stack. This project, which was primarily concerned with layers 3 and 4 of the TCP/IP stack protocol, carried out a comparison between the performance of two different congestion and control algorithms (Cubic and Reno). Several experimental tests were conducted to determine when the connection experienced data loss and ACK loss, with the results plotted on individual graphs showing packet behaviour. Initially two different TCP congestion control algorithms were used to observe their influence on bandwidth rate. Subsequently, the TCP variables - advanced window scaling and window scaling - were changed to observe their role in obtaining acceptable bandwidth rate with respect to packet drop and the retransmission rate. The study revealed a significant reduction in performance during packet loss. Surprisingly, the results showed that the congestion and control algorithms, Cubic and Reno, led to the same outcome when the link was experiencing packet loss. However, ACK loss did not significantly affect performance, and up to 40% loss in ACKs could be tolerated with almost no reduction in performance. While TCP still functions adequately when experiencing single segment loss, the challenge is to handle multiple packet loss. Further research, therefore, might investigate new algorithms for multiple packet loss in the network.

description: Energetic particle populations in nuclear fusion experiments can destabilize Alfv\' en Eigenmodes through inverse Landau damping and couplings with gap modes in the shear Alfv\' en continua. We use the reduced MHD equations to describe the linear evolution of the poloidal flux and the toroidal component of the vorticity in a full 3D system, coupled with equations of density and parallel velocity moments for the energetic particles. We add the Landau damping and resonant destabilization effects by a closure relation. We apply the model to study the Alfv\' en modes stability in Large Helical Device (LHD) inward-shifted configurations, performing a parametric analysis in a range of realistic values of energetic particle $β$ ($β_{f}$), ratios of the energetic particle thermal/Alfv\' en velocities ($V_{th}/V_{A0}$), magnetic Lundquist numbers ($S$) and toroidal modes ($n$). The $n = 1$ and $n = 2$ TAE are destabilized although $n = 3$ and $n = 4$ TAE are weakly perturbed. The most unstable configurations are associated with density gradients of energetic particles in the plasma core: TAE are destabilized even for small energetic particle populations if their thermal velocity is lower than $0.4$ times the Alfv\' en velocity. The frequency range of MHD bursts measured in LHD are $50-70$ kHz for $n=1$ and $60-80$ kHz for $n=2$ TAE, consistent with the model predictions.
Becoming interactive - interactive becomings: a Deleuze-Guattarian approach to an ethics of interaction
Creators: name: Murphie, Andrew
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis uses the work of Grilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari to outline a potential ethics of becoming, of interaction, and of the 'in-between'. It draws together several problems from diverse areas of study to focus on the crucial question of how to write and think about changing relations, not after they have occurred, but while they are occurring. The first problem is that of the Being/becoming relation. The discussion of this problem is drawn from twentieth century thinking about the relations between Being, becoming, ethics and technology. The uses and problems of Martin Heidegger's influential essay, "The Question Concerning Technology" will be discussed, followed by an account of Deleuze and Guattari's responses to Heidegger in this area with specific attention paid to Deleuze's comparison of Heidegger's ontological and Alfred Jarry's pataphysical questioning of metaphysics. Central to this section is a discussion of the related problem of the use of the theatrical, both in philosophical practice and in the discussion and theorisation of what can, or should, be done with interactive technologies. The second section of the thesis develops this discussion of the theatrical/performative in a discussion of recent practice and thought in the area of aesthetics. This section gives a theoretical and descriptive account of some of the work of artists such as Stelarc, Rebecca Horn, Joseph Beuys, Marina Abramovic and Ulay, Joyce Hinterding and John Cage. All the work of these artists throws light both on the problem of interaction in art and on the relations between art, ethics and technology. This section includes a detailed description of Deleuze and Guattari's own theorisation of becoming. The third section gives a detailed description of Deleuze and Guattari's 'thinking through' of the 'machine' and the implications of this for the ethics of a relation to interaction, to aesthetics and to 'new' technologies. Particular attention will be paid to the contemporary notion of the virtual. The final section is a conclusion. It argues for a thought and ethics which understand the primacy of interaction and becoming over the static 'state of things' and for the primacy of a theory of forces and affects over a theory which makes critical judgments come first.

description: We discuss the phenomenology of gravitational lensing in the purely metric $f\left(χ\right)$ gravity, an $f(R)$ gravity where the action of the gravitational field depends on the source mass. We focus on the strong lensing regime in galaxy-galaxy lens systems and in clusters of galaxies. Using an approximate metric solution accurate to second order of the velocity field $v/c$, we show how, in the $f\left(χ\right)=χ^{3/2}$ gravity, the same light deflection can be produced by point-like lenses with masses smaller than in General Relativity; this mass difference increases with increasing impact parameter and decreasing lens mass. However, for sufficiently massive point-like lenses and small impact parameters, $f\left(χ\right)=χ^{3/2}$ and GR yield indistinguishable light deflection angles: this regime occurs both in observed galaxy-galaxy lens systems and in the central regions of galaxy clusters. In the former systems, the GR and $f\left(χ\right)$ masses are compatible with the mass of standard stellar populations and little or no dark matter, whereas, on the scales of the core of galaxy clusters, the presence of substantial dark matter is required both in General Relativity, and in our approximate $f\left(χ\right)=χ^{3/2}$ point-like lens solution. We thus conclude that our approximate metric solution of $f\left(χ\right)=χ^{3/2}$ is unable to describe the observed phenomenology of the strong lensing regime without the aid of dark matter.

Fluid-structure interaction in periodic structure

description: Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) is defined as a combination of law and fluid dynamics and the relevant structural mechanics and the term FSI has given the best description of itself which is the interactions between fluid and structures. Periodic structures such as the Deterministic Lateral Displacement (DLL) array which is a microfluidics technology, first introduced by Huang et al, and the array enables micro-scaled particles to be sorted passively. The DLD array is fabricated in a microfluidics device through a series of microfabrication procedures. Here, we examine the interactions of fluorescent dyed particles in micro-size along with the fluid flow against the DLD array, and we also examine the influence of the fluid flow behaviours on the particle movements in the arrays through fluorescence microscopy. Micro particle tracking velocimetry (μPTV)is a measurement technique for particle velocity in micro-size. It is usually used to quantify particle to particle differences through a set of algorithms such as particle image tracking particle image analysis. Hence Matlab codes, based on the concept of μPTVtechnique, are provided to run a number of videos which have recorded micro-sized particle movement to generate the velocity vector field in the DLD array. The results of the vector fields processed by Matlab codes are generally idea, but the vectors in some areas of the image are not detected or quantified. Somehow, we haven't achieved the object of this project, which is tracking a moving particle, but we are getting there. Therefore, the properties of microscopy and the algorithms in Matlab code need to be optimised for future work.

description: During the first observing run of LIGO, two gravitational wave events and one lower-significance trigger (LVT151012) were reported by the LIGO/Virgo collaboration. At the time of LVT151012, the INTErnational Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL) was pointing at a region of the sky coincident with the high localization probability area of the event and thus permitted us to search for its electromagnetic counterpart (both prompt and afterglow emission). The imaging instruments on-board INTEGRAL (IBIS/ISGRI, IBIS/PICsIT, SPI, and the two JEM-X modules) have been exploited to attempt the detection of any electromagnetic emission associated with LVT151012 over 3 decades in energy (from 3 keV to 8 MeV). The omni-directional instruments on-board the satellite, i.e. the SPI-ACS and IBIS monitored the entire LVT151012 localization region at energies above 75 keV. We did not find any significant transient source that was spatially and/or temporally coincident with LVT151012, obtaining tight upper limits on the associated hard X-ray and $γ$-ray radiation. For typical spectral models, the upper limits on the fluence of the emission from any 1 s long-lasting counterpart of LVT151012 ranges from $F_γ=$3.5$\times$10$^{-8}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ (20 - 200 keV) to $F_γ$=7.1$\times$10$^{-7}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ (75 - 2000 keV), constraining the ratio of the isotropic equivalent energy released in the electromagnetic emission to the total energy of the gravitational waves: $E_{75-2000~keV}/E_{GW}

description: Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) is used to evaluate subjects' behaviors and moods in their natural environments, yet collecting real-time and self-report data with EMA is challenging due to user burden. Integrating voice into EMA data collection platforms through today's intelligent virtual assistants (IVAs) is promising due to hands-free and eye-free nature. However, efficiently managing conversations and EMAs is non-trivial and time consuming due to the ambiguity of the voice input. We approach this problem by rethinking the data modeling of EMA questions and what is needed to deploy them on voice-first user interfaces. We propose a unified metadata schema that models EMA questions and the necessary attributes to effectively and efficiently integrate voice as a new EMA modality. Our schema allows user experience researchers to write simple rules that can be rendered at run-time, instead of having to edit the source code. We showcase an example EMA survey implemented with our schema, which can run on multiple voice-only and voice-first devices. We believe that our work will accelerate the iterative prototyping and design process of real-world voice-based EMA data collection platforms.

Persian translating at the Ming court

Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022

description: Persian was used in tributary activities at the Ming court, in letters from tributary rulers, and in the Emperor's edicts to tributary rulers. Surviving documents and historical records show Persian was used for communications with Hami, Turfan, Samarkand, Herat and other Central Asian countries, with Tibet, and with countries along the sea route to Calicut and Hormuz. It was used for tributary letters, edicts and petitions, stele inscriptions and other documents. A Persian college was one of ten language translating colleges established within the Hanlin Academy. The colleges recruited and trained officers for translating and other duties within the court secretariat. Court records show that tributary activity took place on a large scale during the reigns of the Yongle and Xuande emperors (1403-1436). Zheng He's voyages stimulated tributary missions from maritime countries as far as Calicut and Hormuz, and a series of exchanges took place with countries along the route to Herat, capital of the Timurid Empire. This was the time of greatest activity for Persian translators. Tributary activity decreased after that time, but a small number of Chinese translations of Persian letters show that Persian was used for petitions and tributary letters during 1472-1512. These are embedded within a collection of bilingual language testing materials, which were later incorporated into the Huayiyiyu collection of bilingual wordlists and exemplary texts. The original Persian letters are lost. The word-for-word Persian glossings of the Chinese texts are not documents of tributaty use, but texts used for official testing of students within the Persian College. They don't indicate what the standard of translating from Chinese into Persian was at that time.

Spectropolarimetric FORS2 and HARPSpol observations were analysed by two independent teams and procedures, concluding on a strong longitudinal magnetic field of approximately 5.2 kG. The quantitative characterisation of the stellar atmosphere yields an effective temperature of 23650$\pm$250 K, a surface gravity of 3.95$\pm$0.10 dex and a surface helium fraction of 0.35$\pm$0.02 by number. The metal composition is in agreement with the cosmic abundance standard, except for Mg, Si and S, which are slightly non-solar. The strong and broad ($\sim$300 km/s) disc-like emission displayed by the H$α$ line suggests a centrifugal magnetosphere supported by the strong magnetic field. Our results imply that CPD-62 2124 is an early B-type star hosting one of the strongest magnetic fields discovered to date, and one of the most evolved He-strong stars known, with a fractional main-sequence lifetime of approximately 0.6.

description: There is only a handful of scanning techniques that can provide surface topography at nanometre resolution. At the same time, there are no methods that are capable of non-invasive imaging of the three-dimensional surface topography of a thin free-standing crystalline material. Here we propose a new technique - the divergent beam electron diffraction (DBED) and show that it can directly image the inhomogeneity in the atomic positions in a crystal. Such inhomogeneities are directly transformed into the intensity contrast in the first order diffraction spots of DBED patterns and the intensity contrast linearly depends on the wavelength of the employed probing electrons. Three-dimensional displacement of atoms as small as 1 angstrom can be detected when imaged with low-energy electrons (50 - 250 eV). The main advantage of DBED is that it allows visualisation of the three-dimensional surface topography and strain distribution at the nanometre scale in non-scanning mode, from a single shot diffraction experiment.

description: In studying acoustic or electromagnetic wave diffraction, the choice of an appropriate canonical structure to model the dominant features of a scattering scenario can be very illuminating. A common approach used when dealing with domains with corners is to round the corners, producing a smooth surface, eliminating the singularities introduced by the corners. This thesis examines and quantifies the effect of corner rounding both numerically and analytically. The diffraction from cylindrical scatterers which possess corners, that is, points at which the normal changes discontinuously is examined. We develop a numerical method for the scattering of a plane wave normally incident on such cylindrical structures with soft, hard or impedance loaded boundary conditions. We then examine the difference between various test structures with corners and with the corners rounded to assess the impact on near- and far-field scattering, as a function of the radius of curvature in the vicinity of the rounded corner point. We then examine the nature of the differences in the far-field between the cornered and rounded scatterers both in the frequency and the time domain. We obtain precise quantitative estimates for the rate of convergence of the maximum difference between the far-field solutions as the radius of curvature of the rounded scatterer approaches zero and verify them analytically. Having examined the near- and far-field solutions we confirm that the techniques employed also produce highly accurate solutions in close proximity to the surface of the scatterer especially in the vicinity of the corner. Our study of the effect of corner rounding is extended to arrays of scatterers using a classical but computationally intensive method for these calculations. To enable the study of larger scatterer arrays, we employ the recently available TMATROM an object-oriented T-matrix software package,with our own forward solvers.

description: An era has started in which gas and dust can be observed independently in protoplanetary disks, thanks to the recent surveys with ALMA. The first near-complete high-resolution disk survey in both dust and gas in a single star-forming region has been carried out in Lupus, finding surprisingly low gas/dust ratios. The goal of this work is to fully exploit CO isotopologues observations in Lupus, comparing them with physical-chemical model results, in order to obtain gas masses for a large number of disks. We have employed physical-chemical models to analyze continuum and CO isotopologues observations of Lupus disks, including isotope-selective processes and freeze-out. Employing also the ALMA 13CO-only detections, disk gas masses have been calculated for a total of 34 sources, expanding the sample of 10 disks studied by Ansdell et al. (2016), where also C18O was detected. We confirm that overall gas-masses are very low, often smaller than 1 $M_{\rm J}$, if volatile carbon is not depleted. Accordingly, global gas/dust ratios predominantly between 1 and 10. Low CO-based gas masses and gas/dust ratios may indicate rapid loss of gas, or alternatively chemical evolution, e.g. via sequestering of carbon from CO to more complex molecules, or carbon locked up in larger bodies. Current ALMA observations cannot distinguish between these two hypotheses. We have simulated both scenarios, but chemical model results do not allow us to rule out one of the two. Assuming that all Lupus disks have evolved mainly due to viscous processes over the past few Myr, the observed correlation between the current mass accretion rate and dust mass found by Manara et al. (2016) implies a constant gas-to-dust ratio, which is close to 100 based on the observed $M_{\rm disk}/\dot{M}_{\rm acc}$ ratio. This in turn points to a scenario in which carbon depletion is responsible for the low CO isotopologue line luminosities.
