title: The Same and the Other: Transforming Material Experience into Images
Creators: name: Cusack, Michael
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Mimetic description
subject: Material experience
subject: Samuel Beckett, 1906-1989

description: Making a visual model of experience is one of the ways that human beings come to understand and respond to the world. For some artists, mimetic description is unsatisfying and inadequate. The shift in focus from representation to presentation in the art of non-relation offers an alternative model precisely because it is able to highlight the inherent inexpressibility of being without completely giving up on the task at hand. The hand of the painter might reach further into the mind than the writer because it is able to distance itself from the constrictions of language, while holding onto some kind of essential (though impure) experience of being. I maintain that expanded painting is able to do this by engaging in a game of ‘the same and the other’: that is, by focusing on the gaps within the artist’s relationship to experience, ideas, and materials, and, by extension, the gaps between the artist’s intention and the viewer’s relationship with the works’ visual, tactile, and spatial dimensions. In this exegesis, I examine some of the ideas of writer Samuel Beckett; in particular, his commitment to ‘the imperative of saying’ in the face of inexpressibility, which is uttered through the slippage between relation and non-relation, and his use of ‘visual abstinence’. I maintain that Beckett’s artistic project of ‘ill seen ill said’ offers artists a strategy when seeking to translate experience of the world through materials because it interrupts the ready-made responses between subject and object. While acknowledging the differences in the goals and challenges of writing and visual art production, I will relate these ideas to contemporary artists Christopher Wool, Terri Brooks, Thomas Nozkowski, Ron Gorchov, and Paul Wallach. Finally, I will consider how these concerns play out in my studio by engaging with Beckett’s strategy of exhausting the possible through language, image, and space. The resulting body of work is a document of my ‘ill seen ill said’ or ‘best worse’ in the face of the discussed challenges.

description: Quantum toroidal algebras are obtained from quantum affine algebras by a further affinization, and, like the latter, can be used to construct integrable systems. These algebras also describe the symmetries of instanton partition functions for 5D $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric quiver gauge theories. We consider here the gauge theories defined on an orbifold $S^1\times\mathbb{C}^2/\mathbb{Z}_p$ where the action of $\mathbb{Z}_p$ is determined by two integer parameters $(ν_1,ν_2)$. The corresponding quantum toroidal algebra is introduced as a deformation of the quantum toroidal algebra of $\mathfrak{gl}(p)$. We show that it has the structure of a Hopf algebra, and present two representations, called vertical and horizontal, obtained by deforming respectively the Fock representation and Saito's vertex representations of the quantum toroidal algebra of $\mathfrak{gl}(p)$. We construct the vertex operator intertwining between these two types of representations. This object is identified with a $(ν_1,ν_2)$-deformation of the refined topological vertex, allowing us to reconstruct the Nekrasov partition function and the $qq$-characters of the quiver gauge theories.

Subjects: subject: Winteraceae
subject: Non-volatile drimane sesquiterpenes

subject: medicinal compounds

description: The Winteraceae are a small primitive family of angiosperms endemic to the cool rainforests and montane subtropics of South America, Melanesia, Australasia, and South-East Asia below the Wallace line.The medicinal value of Winteraceae plants branches from extensive use in traditional medicine regimens to use in modern clinical applications. Nonvolatile drimane sesquiterpenes do not occur broadly in nature. However, they are reported to be a chemotaxonomic characteristic of the Winteraceae. Many of those identified from the Winteraceae comprise structural features that are either unique to the family or identified from a minimal number of natural sources.3 Biological investigations on the drimane structure class have identified several activities attractive for drug discovery and may be linked to their usefulness in traditional medicines. Bubbia and Tasmannia are the only Winteraceae genera with species endemic to Australia. Except for Tasmannia lanceolata and studies on the essential oil content of both genera, the chemistry of the Australian Winteraceae is poorly studied and remains an unexploited source of potentially new biologically active natural products.The primary aim of this thesis was to investigate the chemistry of unexplored Australian Winteraceae species to identify new drimane sesquiterpene natural products and improve the current knowledge of the chemistry of Australian Winteraceae. This was achieved by exploring the chemistry of two Australian Winteraceae species.

Allostatic Load in Relation to Periodontal Disease, Tooth Loss, and Mortality: Findings from the 1914 Glostrup Aging Study
Creators: Salazar, Christian Ricardo

Subjects: subject: Epidemiology

subject: FOS: Clinical medicine

description: As the proportion of adults aged 65 years and older continues to grow across the globe and edentulism rates decline, there is widespread concern about a rise in the prevalence of periodontal disease, characterized by chronic inflammation of tooth-supporting tissues induced by persistent infection. Compared to their younger counterparts, older adults experience a higher burden of periodontal disease, which can result in tooth loss, poor nutritional intake, higher prevalence of other chronic diseases, and a decrease in overall quality of life. While cross-sectional studies have underscored the role of chronic stress on periodontal disease progression in older adults, longitudinal evidence is currently lacking. This dissertation draws on prospective data from a birth cohort of older Danish adults (1914 Glostrup Aging Study) with 25 years of follow-up. Using physiological markers than span the metabolic, inflammatory, and cardiovascular systems, I developed a composite measure of allostatic load (AL) at age 80, defined as the cumulative biological damage that results from a whole-body adaptation to chronic stress. First, I identified social and behavioral predictors of high scores on AL. In men, those with no vocational training, unskilled occupation, low income, and a sedentary lifestyle were more likely to have high AL, consistent with a "weathering" pattern of biological systems resulting from chronic adversity over the life course. To test the hypothesis that high AL is longitudinally associated with periodontal disease, I evaluated bidirectional longitudinal associations using multiple measures of AL and periodontal disease. Results showed a positive nonlinear association of AL at age 70 with periodontal disease at age 85, but no association between periodontal disease at age 70 with AL at age 80. This finding confirms previous cross-sectional data, and supports the role of chronic stress on infection-induced inflammation. To test the hypothesis that high AL is associated with mortality risk, I examined this association longitudinally from ages 70 - 95. Compared to low AL, high AL was positively associated with all-cause mortality, and even stronger when cardiovascular disease mortality was considered. AL-mortality associations were higher among those who were dentate as compared to edentate, suggesting that dentate status modifies the relationship. Findings from this dissertation contribute to our understanding of the consequences of stress on periodontal disease in relation to aging and offer potential avenues for intervention.
Permanent current from non-commutative spin algebra

description: We show that a spontaneous electric current is induced in a nano-scale conducting ring just by putting three ferromagnets. The current is a direct consequence of the non-commutativity of the spin algebra, and is proportional to the non-coplanarity (chirality) of the magnetization vectors. The spontaneous current gives a natural explanation to the chirality-driven anomalous Hall effect.

description: For over seventy years Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village have been the homes to more than 25,000 middleclass residents in 110 buildings across 80 acres on the edge of Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Since 1971, the Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village Tenants Association has been at the forefront of fighting for residents’ rights within the complex and through the broader tenant movement in New York City. In 2006, when the property was sold in a record shattering deal (followed shortly by a record shattering default) the TA faced its greatest existential threat and over the last seven years has attempted to turns its capacity into a viable plan to purchase the property. This thesis sets out to examine how the TA has created its capacity, how it has organized itself historically and presently, and how its commitment to affordability and its middleclass identity long cherished in the complex informed its efforts. While finding that the TA has established a high-­‐level of capacity by articulating its values and goals clearly, by building a sustainable structure to pursue them, and by achieving measurable victories concerning them, the TA remains subject to larger economic and demographic forces putting pressure on the complex and challenging its ability to remain true to its historic values.

description: Network-on-Chip (NoC) is a key component in chip multiprocessors (CMPs) as it supports communication between many cores. NoC is a network-based communication subsystem on an integrated circuit, most typically between modules in a system on a chip (SoC). Designing a reliable NoC against failures that can prevent failure using some measures or preventing error or system failure while failure happens and proper performance became a significant concern. For a reliable design against failures, first, the system should be analysed to discover the critical points. Hence, in this research, it is tried first to investigate the scale of fault tolerance effect on the mechanism in the router on the network by injecting simulated errors, and then these errors are prevented. As the major novelty, the authors implemented a router on a synchronised network and calculated the network buffering fault tolerance by injecting error in the buffer. Specifically, a new method for improving fault tolerance is proposed, which uses the existing resources efficiently. So, it does not impose any overhead on hardware and improves the error tolerance scale. The authors also evaluate it from different perspectives to show its superior performance.

Heat shock proteins

description: Healthy cells continuously produce proteins to accomplish various functions, including immune responses, reaction catalyses, transmitting signals, structural supports and molecular transport. Protein needs to fold correctly into three-dimensional shape in order to function well, using the information stored in the amino acid sequence. Proteins may fold spontaneously in solution, but the situation in living cells can be complicated. Cells are filled with nucleic acids and proteins thus they are usually in a stressful environment. Under such circumstances, proteins can be unfolded or misfolded, leading to non-function or even toxicity. Cells employ molecular chaperones to solve protein folding problems. Among the many types of chaperones, heat shock proteins of approximately 70KDa (Hsp70s) act as a hub, because its functions feed into other members of the chaperone network. Hsp70s help to stabilize nascent polypeptides, facilitate cross-membrane translocation, refold the misfolded proteins, and guide non-recoverable denatured proteins to degradation. Hsp70s have explicit role in cancer cells, because elevated metabolism requires increased Hsp70s’ activity to avoid apoptosis and ensure survival. Hsp70s also help to prevent neurodegenerative diseases, and decreased level of Hsp70s is found in age-related symptoms and diseases. In general, it is well understood what Hsp70s can do, but little is known how Hsp70s do the job. Hsp70s are present and highly conserved in all living species, comprised of two structural domains. The nucleotide binding domain (NBD) binds and hydrolyzes ATP, while the substrate binding domain (SBD) binds and releases hydrophobic peptides. Although Hsp70s are known to act as an allosteric molecular machine, the details are elusive about how the domains are regulated. Besides, how nucleotide binding affects the Hsp70s’ function, and how ATP hydrolysis is performed are also unknown. In this thesis, I first introduce salient background on the Hsp70 subject, then explore previously unclear aspects of Hsp70 allosteric regulation and catalytic activity in two chapters describing my dissertation research, and finally conclude with my perspectives on future directions.

description: We perform a calculation of inclusive $Z$ boson production in proton-lead collisions at the LHC taking into account the transverse momenta of the initial partons. We use the framework of $k_T$-factorization combining transverse momentum dependent parton distributions (TMDs) with off-shell matrix elements. In order to do it we need to construct appropriate TMDs for lead nuclei which is done using the parton branching method. Our computations are compared with data from CMS taken at $\sqrt{s}=5.02$ TeV. The results are in good agreement with the measurements especially the transverse momentum distribution of the $Z$ boson.

description: The group of Iranian migrants who are the subject of this study left Iran subsequent to the 1979 Revolution. This migration was in response to the post-Revolution regime's restrictions on societal participation, and its demands of the population to "perform" a new kind of Iranian-ness in their bodily and emotional comportment. Thus, the Iranians of this study, engaged in a kind of physical mobility that defines them as migrants because they felt that another geographical space would be a better launching pad for their "existential selves" ( Hage 2005: 470). Nevertheless, in Australia, also, they feel forced to calculate each move to portray the good Iranian, who is happy, and far from the Iranian middle-eastern typified image. If at home means that everything is unreflexive knowing how to behave and simply be, the Iranians of this study are unhomed. They perform rather than to be. Thus, they dwell in the purgatorial space between having a place to call home, but not actually being able to feel at home there. Having to perform an acceptable version of oneself all the time creates the state of unhomeliness, a state where one is not home-less, not without shelter, but yet not at home in one's own body, talk, and behaviour.

description: This project investigates the emergence of near-future fiction in the post-colonial African novel. Analyzing The Rape of Shavi (1983) by Buchi Emecheta, Osiris Rising (1995) by Ayi Kwei Armah, Wizard of the Crow (2006) by Ngugi wa Thiong'o, and Big Bishop Roko and the Altar Gangsters (2006) by B. Kojo Laing, I gauge the impact of African science fiction (sf) on issues of historicity, economics, statism and localized identities and how these have adapted or are adapting to an increasingly globalized and technophilic world. Identifying sf's roots in the European travelogue, I attend to the way each author codes technology in the text and the manners in which technophilic spaces exacerbate or ease the frequent tension between modernity and tradition in African literature. By reading these works against novels by, among others, Thomas Pynchon, Ishmael Reed, Robert Heinlein, and Chinua Achebe, I conclude that recent developments in the African sf novel offer a compelling critique on the genre's colonial heritage and have progressively indigenized sf by wedding it to local traditions of orature and myth. While Black African sf production has been historically overlooked in literary studies, it is important to revisit early moves in the direction of African near-future fiction in order to contextualize the rising interest in the genre on the part of African authors.

Our theoretical arguments are supported by extensive numerical calculations.

description: Premise: Polypodium pellucidum, a fern endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, encompasses a broad spectrum of morphological and ecological variation, suggesting a complex history involving divergence and hybridization. In contrast to angiosperm systems, spore dispersal in ferns presents a unique opportunity to study how highly dispersible organisms diversify in the dynamic landscape of the archipelago.

Key Results: We infer P. pellucidum is monophyletic, dispersing to the Hawaiian archipelago 11.53 to 7.77 Mya, with diversification into extant clades 5.66 to 4.73 Mya. We identify four non-hybrid clades with unique morphologies, ecological niches, and distributions. Additionally, we elucidate several intraspecific hybrid combinations and evidence for undiscovered or extinct 'ghost' lineages contributing to extant hybrids populations.

Conclusions: We provide a roadmap for revising the taxonomy of P. pellucidum to account for cryptic lineages and intraspecific hybrids. Geologic succession of the Hawaiian Islands through cycles of volcanism, vegetative succession, and erosion has determined the available habitats and distribution of ecologically specific divergent clades within P. pellucidum, with intraspecific hybrids arising as a result of ecological and or geological transitions, often persisting after the local extinction of their progenitors. This research contributes to our understanding of the evolution of Hawaii's diverse fern flora and allows for better conservation efforts that are often complicated by the presence of cryptic taxa and hybridization.

AlterNATIVE Economic Development Models For Native American Tribes: A Case Study on the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California

description: Federal Indian policies which have contributed to the extensive architecture of tribal land regulations have rendered Native American reservations unfit to fully realize economic development potential. With extremely limited investment capital, Tribes can only afford investments in industries with very high marginal returns. Indian Gaming is one such industry in which some tribes have a competitive advantage. The emergence of Indian Gaming and the subsequent federal (and existing) policies have resulted in dire political and social externalities for Native American people. Political consequences related to gaming policies such as the Indian Gaming Reorganization Act (IGRA), have resulted in the compromise of sovereignty. In general, tribes who are allowed to and chose to game have become subjected to state, county and municipal jurisdiction, contrary to age old Federal Indian Policy which established Tribes' sovereign rights. Local Economic Alternative Development Strategies (LEADS) serve as an alternative model for development on reservations. LEADS can shape economic development trajectories that are sensitive to the tenets of sovereignty and self determination. This thesis examines the utility of LEADS in guiding tribal economic development for Native American reservations. Specifically, this thesis is a case study of the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California, a Native American Tribe located around the center of Lake Tahoe and positioned at the borders of two adjoining states. To examine the potential of the LEADS model on the Washoe reservation, I conducted surveys and community interviews and utilized a combination of secondary data. The results yielded the foundation of this thesis which exemplifies alternative economic development models that protect Native American sovereignty and self-determination while offering stable economic ends.

description: The thesis addresses the broader theme of coexistence between black and white Australians through an extended case study of the mediation of overlapping Aboriginal ‘heritage’ interests in land with the interests of non-Indigenous landowners and land managers in the Victoria River District of the Northern Territory (the ‘VRD’). The thesis shows that while an historical perspective reveals marked changes in many of the outward manifestations of intercultural relations (for example, changes in white categorisations of Aboriginal people from ‘station blacks’ to ‘Aboriginal custodians’, and changes in the conduct of relations from violent to non-violent behaviours), the overall tenor of relations has changed little. The VRD community remains ‘racially’ segregated, characterised by separate cultural domains, poor intercultural communication and entrenched Aboriginal marginality and socio-economic disadvantage. The thesis shows how recognition of Aboriginal heritage interests in land is largely determined by the parameters of this pattern of relations, which are analysed in the thesis through the themes of power, cultural difference and strategic action. The thesis also examines the Western paradigm of heritage, from its conceptual origins to the structures and processes which have subsequently been developed in Indigenous heritage policy, including heritage protection legislation and processes of consultation. The integration of heritage protection with development approvals processes has created many difficulties for Aboriginal communities in the VRD, whose heritage interests are often placed in opposition to the economic interests of the wider Australian community. The thesis endorses a coexistence approach to mediating Indigenous heritage interests with the interests and needs of non-Indigenous land owners and land managers. This must include effective statutory protection of Indigenous heritage interests together with mechanisms and resources to promote and negotiate voluntary agreements between Indigenous and non-Indigenous stakeholders.

description: Machine Learning has considerably improved medical image analysis in the past years. Although data-driven approaches are intrinsically adaptive and thus, generic, they often do not perform the same way on data from different imaging modalities. In particular Computed tomography (CT) data poses many challenges to medical image segmentation based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs), mostly due to the broad dynamic range of intensities and the varying number of recorded slices of CT volumes. In this paper, we address these issues with a framework that combines domain-specific data preprocessing and augmentation with state-of-the-art CNN architectures. The focus is not limited to optimise the score, but also to stabilise the prediction performance since this is a mandatory requirement for use in automated and semi-automated workflows in the clinical environment. The framework is validated with an architecture comparison to show CNN architecture-independent effects of our framework functionality. We compare a modified U-Net and a modified Mixed-Scale Dense Network (MS-D Net) to compare dilated convolutions for parallel multi-scale processing to the U-Net approach based on traditional scaling operations. Finally, we propose an ensemble model combining the strengths of different individual methods. The framework performs well on a range of tasks such as liver and kidney segmentation, without significant differences in prediction performance on strongly differing volume sizes and varying slice thickness. Thus our framework is an essential step towards performing robust segmentation of unknown real-world samples.

'Reasonable men' : middle class reformism in Australia, 1928-1939
Creators: name: Alomes, Stephen
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1991

description: The political and economic instability of the Great Depression period produced many dramatic responses. It also gave rise to new public affairs institutions and the social criticism of middle class moderates who were as disturbed by political conflict and social division as by the evils wreaked by the economic depression. Through such forums as the Australian Institute of Political Science and journals of public affairs and social debate, including the Australian Quarterly, they elaborated their own social critique. Lamenting political Conflict, emotional debate and popular apathy, they declared their belief in the power of rationality and the need for political agreement. Moderate social thinkers, seeing the world in dualistic psychological terms, aspired for rationality and social harmony but feared division and decay. Social critics and more practical students of public affairs developed these themes, in their analyses of Australian society and their public affairs research. Centred mainly in Sydney and Melbourne clusters of thinkers, sharing these beliefs, added particular stresses and offered varying views on the contemporary situation. Their emphases included: the difficulties of social planning; the defence of freedom of thought; education as a force for 'civilization'; a scientific approach to modern problems; the need for government action to remedy social evils; and the possibility of greater degree of national purpose. The social critics and students of public affairs produced a large body of research and their criticisms encouraged movements for social and educational reform. Their endeavours were partly confined to a small section of middle class society and to their own institutional milieu as they retreated from the political arena. Their work also contributed however, to a larger transition in the structure of Australian society. Their thought challenged existing attitudes which thwarted change, their institutions were the precursors of government institutions needed to run a complex modern society, and they were influential in several spheres. Their criticism prepared the ground for the changes accelerated by the engine of war during the 1940s and they were to be part of the new administrative elite in post-war Australia.

description: We present the analysis of the spin signals obtained in NiFe based metallic lateral spin valves. We exploit the spin dependent diffusive equations in both the conventional 1D analytic modeling as well as in 3D Finite Element Method simulations. Both approaches are used for extracting the spin diffusion length $l_{sf}^{N}$ and the effective spin polarization $P_{eff}$ in Py/Al, Py/Cu and Py/Au based lateral nano-structures at both $300\,K$ and $77\,K$. Both the analytic modeling and 3D Finite Element Method simulations give consistent results. Combination of both models provides a powerful tool for reliable spin transport characterization in all metallic spin valves and gives an insight into the spin/charge current and spin accumulations 3D distributions in these devices. We provide the necessary ingredients to develop the 3D finite element modeling of diffusive spin transport.

Alternative Energy Science and Policy: Biofuels as a Case Study

description: This dissertation studies the science and policy-making of alternative energy using biofuels as a case study, primarily examining the instruments that can be used to alleviate the impacts of climate change and their relative efficacy. Three case studies of policy-making on biofuels in the European Union, United States of America and Brazil are presented and discussed. It is found that these policies have had large unintended negative consequences and that they relied on Lifecycle Analysis studies that had concluded that increased biofuels production can help meet economic, energy and environmental goals. A close examination of these Lifecycle Analysis studies reveals that their results are not conclusive. Instead of continuing to attempt to find answers from Lifecycle Analyses, this study suggests an alternative approach: formulating policy based on recognition of the ignorance of real fuel costs and pollution. Policies to combat climate change are classified into two distinct approaches: policies that place controls on the fuels responsible for emissions and policies that target the pollutants themselves. A mathematical model is constructed to compare these two approaches and address the central question of this study: In light of an ignorance of the cost and pollution impacts of different fuels, are policies targeting the pollutants themselves preferable to policies targeting the fuels? It is concluded that in situations where the cost and pollution functions of a fuel are unknown, subsidies, mandates and caps on the fuel might result in increased or decreased greenhouse gas emissions; on the other hand, a tax or cap on carbon dioxide results in the largest decrease possible of greenhouse gas emissions. Further, controls on greenhouse gases are shown to provide incentives for the development and advancement of cleaner alternative energy options, whereas controls on the fuels are shown to provide equal incentives to the development of cleaner and dirtier alternative fuels. This asymmetry in outcomes--regardless of actual cost functions--is the reason why controls on greenhouse gases are deemed favorable to direct fuel subsidies and mandates.

Dynamics of Kondo voltage splitting after a quantum quench

description: We analyze the time-dependent formation of the spectral function of an Anderson impurity model in the Kondo regime within a numerically exact real-time quantum Monte Carlo framework. At steady state, splitting of the Kondo peak occurs with nontrivial dependence on voltage and temperature, and with little effect on the location or intensity of high-energy features. Examining the transient development of the Kondo peak after a quench from an initially uncorrelated state reveals a two-stage process where the initial formation of a single central Kondo peak is followed by splitting. We analyze the time dependence of splitting in detail and demonstrate a strong dependence of its characteristic timescale on the voltage. We expect both the steady state and the transient phenomenon to be experimentally observable.

Dancing from the heart : movement, gender and sociality in the Cook Islands
Creators: name: Alexeyeff, Kalissa Anna
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2003

description: This thesis explores dance through the lens of performance, globalization, gender and postcolonialism. It also relies on contemporary Pacific scholarship to argue about the centrality of active agency in cultural production. Cook Islands dancing is not simply a reflection past and present gendered cultural politics. Throughout, I argue that the mediational power of expressive practices actively produces the modalities through which regional and local identities engage with broader global processes. Dance, I suggest, is a generative process which occupies the hearts, minds and bodies of many Cook Islanders.
