title: visual arts unique autobiography
titleType: Subtitle
Creators: name: Richardson, Tobias
Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University
Year: 2012

description: My Life as Sculpture is an interdisciplinary research project incorporating both sculpture and drawing and is presented as an installation (Raft Artspace, Alice Springs, Northern Territory, March 2012). Developed over two years, the artworks explore themes of autobiography and the built environment. The research aimed to clarify and extend the relationship between the artist's twenty-year practice and the continuing themes of self and built environments. The juxtaposing of physical vernacular forms (built environments) with psychological and metaphysical elements creates the autobiographical framework. The artworks are presented in the context of abstractionist aesthetic theory and within contemporary Australian practice. The research method is primarily wood construction, combining found objects, developed through studio practice at Charles Darwin University, and drawings created whilst traveling in Australia and abroad. The research combines family history, artists' biographies, abstractionist aesthetics and contemporary practice. The discussion and analysis that accompanies the artworks are distilled into overlapping chapters covering theoretical perspectives, materials and processes, and results. The artworks reference several key visual artists, particularly Willem de K coning, Gerrit Rietveld and Carl Andre, as well as contemporary artists such as Peter Atkins and Phoebe Washburn. Strategies to reconcile the vast, interpretive and self-reflective nature of autobiography as a subject are tested. This project argues that as a practicing artist I see biography as theory and subject matter. The project's results include a substantial exhibition of artworks, but al so a broadening of my understanding of the potential autobiography has for the visual arts.

description: ABSTRACTConcentrations of 16 priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were determined in 40 brands of biscuits in the Nigerian market. The analyses were performed by gas chromatography-flame ionisation detection (GC-FID) after Soxhlet extraction of the sample with hexane/dichloromethane and clean-up of the extract. The concentrations of ∑16 PAHs in these biscuit samples were in the range of 35.7–645.3 μg kg−1, 75.9–490.7 μg kg−1, 91.5–537 μg kg−1, 18.4–522.2 μg kg−1, 123.5–393.8 μg kg−1, 167.2–880 μg kg−1, 136.5–316 μg kg−1, and 135.5–241.6 μg kg−1 for shortcake, digestive, cookies, shortbread, wafers, cracker, Pringles, and cabin, respectively. The concentrations of ∑8 carcinogenic PAHs in the samples ranged from not detected (nd)–323.3 μg kg−1, 15.7–138 μg kg−1, 9.7–312.9 μg kg−1, nd–331.7 μg kg−1, nd–220.9 μg kg−1, nd–53.3 μg kg−1, 18.4–56.6 μg kg−1, and 6.6–170.8 μg kg−1 for shortcake, digestive, cookies, shortbread, wafers, crackers, Pringles, and cabin, respectively. The margin of exposure (MOE), based on PAH8 as an indicator for the occurrence and effects of PAHs in food, was less than 10,000, the serious health effects value, in 30% and 8% of the brands for the child and adult scenarios, respectively.

Year: 2014
Subjects: Uncategorised

description: The pyridine ring introduced phenylazomethine dendrimer (PyDPA) was synthesized by a dehydration reaction using titanium (IV) chloride. The UV-vis absorption and the electro-chemical study showed that the introduction of the pyridine ring produces a smaller band gap by increasing the HOMO level and decreasing the LUMO level. A crystal of a PyDPA-PdCl2 complex was also prepared. Traditional phenylazomethine dendrimers cannot form a complex with palladium, indicating that PyDPA can potentially coordinate with various metal salts such as Co, Ni, Ru, and Mn and can be used for catalytic or electronic applications.

description: Recent experimental measurements of atomic intensity correlations through atom shot noise suggest that atomic quadrature phase correlations may soon be measured with a similar precision. We propose a test of local realism with mesoscopic numbers of massive particles based on such measurements. Using dissociation of a Bose-Einstein condensate of diatomic molecules into bosonic atoms, we demonstrate that strongly entangled atomic beams may be produced which possess Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) correlations in field quadratures in direct analogy to the position and momentum correlations originally considered by EPR.

description: Zeta potential is an important colloid parameter that dictates many intriguing phenomena such as colloid stability/aggregation, electrophoretic deposition and particle separation technology. Zeta potential is commonly used to characterise colloid particles’ electrostatic interactions coupled with other forces such as van der Waals attraction, hydration and steric forces. However, the measurement of zeta potential involves complicated sample preparation and instrument/theory selection, often resulting in inaccurate measurement. Here, we developed a simple method that combines Stern–Grahame and Gouy–Chapman theories, for estimating zeta potential using parameters such as acid site pKa, acid site density and particle size. The method is applied to a wide range of carboxylic acids’ functionalised colloid particles with various pKa. Results show that the new method is capable of capturing zeta potential dependence on pKa and pH. The new method can be applied to particles with complicated or multiple acid/base sites. Without the need for sample preparation/instrument, this new method is believed to save efforts for estimating zeta potential with good accuracy.

description: The pyridine ring–introduced phenylazomethine dendrimer (PyDPA) was synthesized by a dehydration reaction using titanium(IV) chloride. The ultraviolet–visible absorption and the electrochemical study showed that the introduction of the pyridine ring produces a smaller band gap by increasing the highest occupied molecular orbital level and decreasing the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital level. A crystal of a PyDPA-PdCl2 complex was also prepared. Traditional phenylazomethine dendrimers cannot form a complex with palladium, indicating that PyDPA can potentially coordinate with various metal salts such as Co, Ni, Ru, and Mn and can be used for catalytic or electronic applications.

description: We analyze the critical quantum fluctuations in a coherently driven planar optical parametric oscillator. We show that the presence of transverse modes combined with quantum fluctuations changes the behavior of the 'quantum image' critical point. This zero-temperature nonequilibrium quantum system has the same universality class as a finite-temperature magnetic Lifshitz transition.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: We introduce a unified Gaussian quantum operator representation for fermions and bosons. The representation extends existing phase-space methods to Fermi systems as well as the important case of Fermi-Bose mixtures. It enables simulations of the dynamics and thermal equilibrium states of many-body quantum systems from first principles. As an example, we numerically calculate finite-temperature correlation functions for the Fermi Hubbard model, with no evidence of the Fermi sign problem.

description: The present work deals with the understanding of the integrated experimental and theoretical study of the molecular structure and vibrational spectra of N-allyl-N-ethylformamide (NAEF). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to study the subject molecule, N-allyl-N-ethylformamide (NAEF), utilising the B3LYP method and the basis set 6-311++G (d,p). Geometrical parameters and the structure of NAEF were computed such that global descriptors and reactive sites were obtained. Frontier’s analysis of molecular orbital energy demonstrates that the molecule’s charge exchange is considerably high. Non-linear optical properties of N-allyl-N-ethylformamide (NAEF) were computed and compared with the standard material of urea. The vibrational assignments were analysed for the existence of the probable functional groups and tabulated. The thermodynamic functions were computed at different temperatures and listed accordingly. NMR spectroscopy and quantum computational chemistry methods have been employed for the understanding of the structures of NAEF. Moreover, different techniques such as topological analysis and drug-likeness were utilised to determine the structure and other properties of NAEF. The molecular docking study could determine the residue with the highest docking score (lowest binding energy) and the most non-covalent interactions.

description: Dimethyldichlorosilane has been one of the most widely used monomers in the organic silicon industry chain, which can be synthesised through the methylchlorosilanes disproportionation reaction with the interchange of functional groups. In this research, the disproportionation mechanism catalysed by ZSM-5(3 T)@MIL-53(Al) and AlCl3/ZSM-5(3 T)@MIL-53(Al) core–shell catalysts were studied by using the hybrid functional method on the level of M06-2X/Def2-TZVP. The results showed that the two catalysts possessed different catalytic effect assigning to their different acidic active structures. The surface activity of ZSM-5(3 T)@MIL-53(Al) core–shell catalyst modified by AlCl3 transformed to Lewis acid center of Al–Cl bond with better disproportionation activity than before modification. Energy, frequency vibration and IRC calculations, bond level, ELF and LOL analyses were used to verify the reaction mechanism proposed in this manuscript.

description: 'Shesh i Zi', 'Shesh i Bardhë', 'Kallmet' and 'Vlosh' are commercialised grapevine wine varieties which best represent the high variability of the Albanian autochthonous germplasm because of their different origin within the country and their great wine potential. We characterised these cultivars at molecular, phenolic and ampelometric level as well as assessing their relatedness. The leaves were scanned and images were analyzed using SuperAmpelo, which allows to measure leaves, clusters, berries, and seeds, and to record the main descriptive ampelographic characters, including carpometric indices. The content of total anthocyanins, total flavonoids, non-anthocyanic flavonoids, proanthocyanidins and total polyphenols were determined in the extracts of the grape skins and seeds of 10 berries from each of 10 representative clusters as well as in samples of one year old wines. For the molecular characterization, 10 SSR loci were used. The similarity of cultivars was studied by applying the Ward's method for hierarchical clustering along with other Albanian genotypes. This work has completed and made more accurate the existing ampelographic descriptions found in literature with the aim to valorize these autochthonous cultivars, which could represent a valuable instrument for improving the local economies.

description: In the Republic of Moldova during the last 40‑50 years the quota of old autochthonous varieties in industrial vineyards permanently decreased and nowadays the majority of these varieties are present only in the Institute's Collection. During this time only an insignificant part of these resources were included in the research projects and, thus, their potential value for viticulture requires insights. The aim of the present work was the preliminary diversity evaluation of these varieties. Thirty-six cultivars were described according to the primary and secondary ampelographic descriptors, and to the phenotyping protocols for eno-carpological characterization. Based on the obtained data and on literature, some characteristics were established such as classification into Negrul's eco-geographical proles, berry colour, agro-biological properties and resistance to abiotic factors and pathogens.

description: The article aims to describe some local grapevine varieties cultivated in different areas of Azerbaijan. The cultivars are grown in the ampelographic collection of the Azerbaijani Scientific Research Institute of Viticulture and Wine-making. The report of their ampelographic traits was based on the OIV descriptors list. Comparing cultivars, it has been found that, although there have been similarities in various descriptor traits, most of the characteristics are distinctive of specific cultivars. A considerable polymorphism was found concerning the morphological features of leaves, clusters, berries, as well as considering some physiological and technological characteristics. In more detail, these genotypes differ between each other by the aspect of leaves; the shape, size and structure of bunches; the shape, color and flavor of berries; the productivity indices; the resistance to pests and diseases; the duration of their vegetative period; the sugar and acid contents; and the number of seeds in the berry.

Entanglement and the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox with coupled intracavity optical down-converters
Creators: name: Olsen, M. K.
name: Drummond, Peter
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: We show that two evanescently coupled x(2) parametric down-converters inside a Fabry-Perot cavity provide a tunable source of quadrature squeezed light, Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) correlations and quantum entanglement. Analyzing the operation in the below threshold regime, we show how these properties can be controlled by adjusting the coupling strengths and the cavity detunings. As this can be implemented with integrated optics, it provides a possible route to rugged and stable EPR sources.

description: The objectives of our study was to phenotype Armenian grapevines on the base of cytoembryological, morphometric and phenolic content analysis of 10 wine and 10 table cultivars (Vitis vinifera L.). The presented results suggest that Armenian table grape cultivars have higher level of abnormalities in the process of seed formation than wine cultivars. However, during ovule development, the observed differences between table and wine varieties were not significant. The berry morphometric analysis demonstrated that table cultivars formed significantly larger and heavier berries than wine cultivars. The obtained results show that wine grapes contained significantly higher phenol concentrations than table grapes, in both colored and white grapevine cultivars. The study of phenol composition, an important chemical descriptor in grapevine phenotyping, provides oenological information useful to improve the wine quality. Cultivar characterization could be used as marker for the selection of table and wine grape breeding programs. These results will be upgraded in the database for Armenian grapevine varieties. In future Armenian germplasm will be compared with datasets of neighboring countries, to determine the varietal origins relationships.

description: Spectroscopic properties and potential energy curves of alkali metal (M = Na and K) – rare gas (Rg = He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe and Rn) van der Waals molecules in their ground states have been studied in detail using spin-restricted open-shell coupled cluster with single and double excitations and perturbative contribution of connected triple excitations (RCCSD(T)) methods. The core-valence correlation (CV) effect was found to be crucial for M-RG molecules containing heavy rare gas atoms. The electronic energies were corrected for the basis set superposition error (BSSE) using the counterpoise method. Energies were extrapolated to the complete basis set (CBS) limit using a two-point scheme. The permanent electric dipole moments, static electric dipole polarizabilities and long-range dispersion coefficients were also calculated. The computed spectroscopic constants, vibrational levels and rotational constants were reported for M-RG and good agreement with the available experimental and theoretical values were found.

description: Inspired by its potential applications of organic luminescence and fluorescence probe materials for 2-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)benzazoles (HBX) derivatives, this study mainly investigates the excited-state behaviours of a novel 2-benzooxazol-2-yl-6-thiophen-2-yl-phenol (BYTYP) fluorophore. Theoretical exploration has been conducted on the solvent-dependent interactions of excited-state intramolecular hydrogen bonding and the process of excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) for BYTYP. By combining optimised geometrical modifications, infrared (IR) vibrational spectra and the core-valence bifurcation (CVB) index, hydrogen bonding strengthening can be confirmed. Predicting the bond energy (EHB), we assert that nonpolar solvents are more conducive to enhancing hydrogen bonding interactions. The ESIPT tendency of BYTYP is further elucidated by charge reorganisation resulting from photoexcitation. By exploring potential energy surfaces (PESs) and identifying transition states (TS), we have uncovered the solvent-polarity-controlled ESIPT behaviours. We hope these insights into excited-state dynamics will facilitate the design and development of novel fluorescent sensors in future.

description: Phenology is an indicator of plant response to the environment. In viticulture growth stages timing is important for site and cultivar selection, vineyard planning and cultural practices management. In the last years, autochthonous cultivars obtained an increased interest and, therefore, in this work we studied the phenological performances of Hungarian old varieties. The data recorded in 2012 were compared with the ones published 60 years ago. The examined genotypes were identified by SSR markers. Extremely high temperature and low precipitation occurred during the 2012 vintage. The uncommon weather conditions affected the length of the vegetation period less than expected. However, the time period between flowering and harvest decreased significantly. In general, minor varieties seem to be more sensitive to extreme conditions than international cultivars, according to their eno-carpological characteristics.

description: We calculate the density profiles and density correlation functions of the one-dimensional Bose gas in a harmonic trap, using the exact finite-temperature solutions for the uniform case, and applying a local density approximation. The results are valid for a trapping potential that is slowly varying relative to a correlation length. They allow a direct experimental test of the transition from the weak-coupling Gross-Pitaevskii regime to the strong-coupling, 'fermionic' Tonks-Girardeau regime. We also calculate the average two-particle correlation which characterizes the bulk properties of the sample, and find that it can be well approximated by the value of the local pair correlation in the trap center.

description: The adequate choice of suitable cultivar/clone together with the ecological characteristics of the region and combination of agro technical measures represents the most important factors in the viticulture production. Aim of this study was to determine the characteristics of two Pinot Noir clones (R4 and 667) in two Serbian grape growing regions with different meteorological conditions. The following properties were investigated: beginning, end and length of the growing season, grape yield, mechanical composition of bunch and berry, grape and wine quality. Differences between studied 'Pinot Noir' clones and environmental conditions in grape growing regions resulted in the production of grapes and wine with different characteristics.

description: Rigorous safety assessments are required for genetically modified (GM) crops to support their use as food or feed.  These assessments include bioinformatics analysis of the amino acid sequences of all potential open reading frames (ORFs) encoded in the exogenous DNA introduced into the plant through genetic modification.  Sequence similarities of potential DNA products to known or potential toxins and allergens trigger subsequent assessments of potential hazards for the consumer or the environment.  The bioinformatic analysis of Syngenta maize event MZIR098 insert DNA revealed a total of 415 ORFs.  One putative ORF (ORF-130) triggered further risk assessment based on its sequence similarities with known allergens, including peanut allergen Ara h 1, wheat glutenin, and others. We examined the potential expression of ORF-130 at a protein level to exclude the possibility of exposure during consumption of MZIR098 maize.  Specifically, we developed and validated a liquid chromatography approach coupled to a tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method, called parallel reaction monitoring (PRM). This measure of expression was quantitative and targeted against the peptides unique to ORF-130.  The linear range of the method was 25-5000 amol ORF-130/µl.  Both, limit of detection (LOD) and lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) of the method, were 12 μg ORF-130 per gram of dry MZIR098 maize leaf.  The method was accurate and specific to ORF-130.  PRM analysis of MZIR098 extracts did not detect putative ORF-130 above the limits of detection/quantitation.  Furthermore, the broad proteomic data dependent acquisition (DDA) analysis of the MZIR098 extracts demonstrated no evidence of ORF-130 corroborating the PRM analysis.  Our results confirm that ORF-130 is not characterized as a functional gene in Syngenta maize event MZIR098 insert DNA and does not express gene products at detectable levels.

description: Silver nanoparticle (nAg)-embedded poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) hydrogels, to be used as antibacterial wound dressings, were prepared by γ-irradiation at various doses: 25, 35, and 45 kGy. The formation and characteristics of the silver nanoparticles were investigated with a UV–vis spectrophotometer, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray. The hydrogels were characterized for physical and biological properties. Based on the antibacterial determination, the 1 and 5 mM nAg–embedded PVP hydrogels were effective, with 99.99% bactericidal activity at 12 and 6 h, respectively. The indirect cytotoxicity evaluation based on 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay indicated that both the neat and the nAg-embedded PVP hydrogels were non-toxic to mouse fibroblasts (L929). The 5 mM nAg-embedded PVP hydrogels not only provided a clean, moist environment for wound healing, but also effectively prevented bacterial infection and enhanced wound recovery.

description: A novel class of quantum Monte Carlo methods, which were based on a Gaussian quantum operator representation of fermionic states was investigated. The finite-temperature properties of the two dimensional Hubbard model and the dynamics in a simple model of coherent molecular dissociation were calculated as an application relevant to the Fermi sign problem. The identities for first-principles calculations of the time evolution of quantum systems, both dynamical and canonical were also discussed. The results show that many-body quantum systems map exactly to stochastic equations if a suitable stochastic gage is chosen which eliminates all boundary terms.

description: We present a theoretical analysis of three-dimensional (3D) matter-wave solitons and their stability properties in coupled atomic and molecular Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). The soliton solutions to the mean-field equations are obtained in an approximate analytical form by means of a variational approach. We investigate soliton stability within the parameter space described by the atom-molecule conversion coupling, the atom-atom s-wave scattering, and the bare formation energy of the molecular species. In terms of ordinary optics, this is analogous to the process of sub- or second-harmonic generation in a quadratic nonlinear medium modified by a cubic nonlinearity, together with a phase mismatch term between the fields. While the possibility of formation of multidimensional spatiotemporal solitons in pure quadratic media has been theoretically demonstrated previously, here we extend this prediction to matter-wave interactions in BEC systems where higher-order nonlinear processes due to interparticle collisions are unavoidable and may not be neglected. The stability of the solitons predicted for repulsive atom-atom interactions is investigated by direct numerical simulations of the equations of motion in a full 3D lattice. Our analysis also leads to a possible technique for demonstrating the ground state of the Schrodinger-Newton and related equations that describe Bose-Einstein condensates with nonlocal interparticle forces.

description: This paper presents new data about Early Permian (Cisuralian) strata, palynostratigraphy and absolute dating from the Copacabana Formation in central Bolivia. Recent stratigraphic and palynologic data from marine and transitional rocks at Apillapampa refine the age of Cisuralian palynomorphs in South America. Twelve samples interbedded with five volcanic ashes (processed and productive) yielded 94 palynomorph species arranged in two informal palynoassemblages: the lower assemblage Vittatina costabilis corresponds to one sample near the base of the Copacabana Formation and the upper Lueckisporites virkkiae assemblage occurs in overlying marine and coal-bearing transitional intervals. Ages were also independently refined by a modern review of conodonts, fusulinids, along with those U–Pb radiometric ages (Isotope Dilution Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometry [ID-TIMS] of zircon-bearing interbedded tuffs). These data suggest that the lower marine member of the Copacabana Formation at this location is Asselian and Sakmarian. Lueckisporites virkkiae is a key species of palynomorph utilised in South American and global Permian biostratigraphic reconstructions. Hence, a thorough global comparison of these palynofloras and correlations is addressed in this contribution, considering first appearances of mainly cosmopolitan diagnostic taxa. Correlations are established with many similar Permian palynofloras, some also constrained with radiometric data, in South America (Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina) and elsewhere.

description: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been a key actor in the USA’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The extensive use of Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) during the pandemic as part of its broader strategy to protect the health of the country has raised this federal agency to the public psyche. The FDA’s response has been guided by its position within the national governing framework as well as its own unique history. A review of this framework and the FDA’s history can be illuminating in understanding this agency’s response during a national crisis.

description: The geomorphological map of the northeastern Durmitor Mountains and the plateau Jezerska Površ (1:10,000, 47 km², Montenegro, Dinaric Alps) was prepared from an intensive fieldwork campaign and remote sensing analysis, and was compiled within a GIS. The basic components of the legend are (i) processes/genesis, (ii) materials, (iii) morphometry/morphography, (iv) hydrography, (v) vegetation and (vi) anthropogenic features. The geomorphological setting of the area consists of Mesozoic limestones which are physically deformed by Quaternary glacial and periglacial activity and chemically affected during interglacials. Glacial deposits on the plateau of three middle-to-late Pleistocene glacial phases are intersected by a well-developed network of palaeo meltwater channels. In the mountains, Holocene glacier retreat left behind a series of well-preserved recessional moraines. The map serves as a valuable tool for Quaternary research in the Durmitor Mountains, and also in other mountains of the Western Balkans.
