description: Deviation and precession effects of a bunch of spinning particles in the field of a weak gravitational plane wave are studied according to the Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon (MPD) model. Before the passage of the wave the particles are at rest with associated spin vector aligned along a given direction with constant magnitude. The interaction with the gravitational wave causes the particles to keep moving on the 2-plane orthogonal to the direction of propagation of the wave, with the transverse spin vector undergoing oscillations around the initial orientation. The transport equations for both the deviation vector an spin vector between two neighboring world lines of such a congruence are then solved by a suitable extension of the MPD model off the spinning particle's world line. In order obtain measurable physical quantities a "laboratory" has been set up by constructing a Fermi coordinate system attached to a reference world line. The {\it exact} transformation between TT coordinates and Fermi coordinates is derived too.

description: Newly installed permeable pavement (PP) systems provide high surface infiltration capacity, but the accumulation of sediments causes a decrease in capacity over time, eventually leading to surface clogging. With the aim of investigating local sedimentation processes and the importance of restorative cleaning (RC), nine recently built PP systems were tested for their infiltration capacity with and without restorative cleaning (RC) over an interval of 12–14.5 months. The results were related to each site’s unique history of sedimentation. RC significantly improved permeability, but when revisited after approximately one year, the permeability of cleaned surfaces was not significantly better for the RC spots than from their uncleaned neighbouring areas. Relating permeability to the contextual issues revealed that PP perimeter, adjacent bare soil and mismanagement strongly affected the sedimentation process. At two of the sites, sedimentation processes were so advanced that surface permeability was below the level of service (five-year design storm).

The responses of Australian butterflies to climate change
Creators: name: McClellan, Katherine Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: There are numerous reports of species responses to climate change over the last century and there is much interest in how species will continue to respond in the future. Much of the documentation has come from the Northern Hemisphere, where species are moving to higher latitudes and elevations, and life cycles are advancing. There has been far less research on the responses of Southern Hemisphere species to either recent or future climate change. The few studies on Australian species are biased towards vertebrates and plants with only a handful focused on terrestrial invertebrates (only one of which is a butterfly). The response of Australian species to climate change may not be consistent with those reported in the Northern Hemisphere because the environment in Australia is very different, being flat, relatively dry, with strong inland-coastal rainfall gradients and ecosystems whose dynamics are largely driven by episodic climate extremes. -- This thesis investigates the distribution and life cycle responses of Australian butterflies to recent and future climate change, using a combination of field surveys, species distribution modelling and data mining. It also investigates the accuracy of simulated species distributions that have been projected from historic data onto current climatic conditions, and whether the inclusion of host plant distributions in butterfly models improves their predictive accuracy. Investigation into range shift responses and modelling accuracy focuses on three butterfly species whereas the phenological investigation looks as a larger group of 68 species. It was found that over the last 100 years, the southern range boundaries of two of the three focal species, Elodina angulipennis and Suniana sunias, have likely remained stable, while the southern range boundary of the third species, Hypocysta euphemia, has contracted north by 2.5 degrees of latitude. The future distributions of all three species are likely to contract if the butterflies are unable to track climate change or if precipitation decreases in the future. When precipitation was projected to increase and full dispersal of the butterflies was assumed, future range expansions were indicated for two of the three species. I also found that the predictive accuracy of models projected onto another period of time is species-specific. I also found that the start of the flight season for several butterflies has changed over the last 60 years: some are emerging earlier, others later while others show no detectable trend. The phenological responses of the 68 species investigated were not associated strongly with any life history, dietary or geographic trait. To further investigate life cycle changes and monitor climate change impacts, I recommend several species as potential indicators of climate change impacts.

description: Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONs) display the ability to cross blood − brain barrier and are envisioned as diagnostic and therapeutic applications, but there are few studies on their potential embryonic toxicity in higher vertebrates. This study investigates interaction of IONs with egg albumen and its subsequent toxicity on chicken embryo. Physicochemical interactions of IONs with egg albumen revealed alterations in friccohesity and secondary structural changes due to weak Vander Waals forces. Toxicity assessment of IONs (10, 25, 50, 100, and 200 µg/ml doses) on chicken embryo accounted for 100% mortality at 200 µg/ml dose due to Fe2+ ions overload. However, lower doses (50 and 100 µg/ml) recorded decrement in whole weights and crown-rump lengths of chicken embryo possibly due to ION–albumen interactions. Histology of brain tissue revealed degeneration of neurons (50–60%) at 10–100 µg/ml dose range of IONs. Toxicity studies of IONs with diverse animal models are needed to set a toxicity benchmark for preventing embryonic toxicity prior to its use in biomedical applications. This is the first study on toxicity assessment of IONs in chicken embryo.

description: Aluminium alloys are commonly used throughout the world due to their properties such as great strength to weight ratio and corrosion resistance. Aluminium alloys are used in industries including space and aircraft, Car manufacturing and infrastructure in many cities. these alloys are often extruded through an extrusion process that is able to produce large quantities of worked material in many different shapes and sizes.In theis project, the aim is to differentiate the mechanical properties of 6000 and 7000 series aluminium alloys to give our industry partner, Capral, a recommendation based on the data obtained through experimental work. The dat obtained throughout the project indicates a large strength difference between the tow alloys, where series 70000 alloys are approximately 100% stronger than 60000 series in terms of tensile strength and about 47% stronger in terms of hardness strength.Grain boundaries were explored in both series and significant differences were shown in terms of the grain structure. The grain size of the 6000 series is approximately 50-100μm, while the 7000 is much smaller in comparison, which reinforces that 7000 series are much stronger alloys overall. It was found during the project that other specific extrusion parameters need to be considered such as temperature , ram speed and the die profile. It was recommended that the profile should be simple for 7000 series alloys to avoid short die life and poor quality extrudates. Hollow dies should be used with caution with 7000 series alloys.

description: In order to study the changing relevance of stimulus features in time and space, we used a task with rapid serial presentation of two stimulus streams where two targets (“T1” and “T2”) had to be distinguished from background stimuli and where the difficult T2 distinction was impeded by background stimuli presented before T1 that resemble T2 (“lures”). Such lures might actually have dual characteristics: Their capturing attention might interfere with target identification, whereas their similarity to T2 might result in positive priming. To test this idea here, T2 was a blue digit among black letters, and lures resembled T2 either by alphanumeric category (black digits) or by salience (blue letters). Same-category lures were expected to prime T2 identification whereas salient lures would impede T2 identification. Results confirmed these predictions, yet the precise pattern of results did not fit our conceptual framework. To account for this pattern, we speculate that lures serve to confuse participants about the order of events, and the major factor distinguishing color lures and digit lures is their confusability with T2. Mechanisms of effects were additionally explored by measuring event-related EEG potentials. Consistent with the assumption that they attract more attention, color lures evoked larger N2pc than digit lures and affected the ensuing T1-evoked N2pc. T2-evoked N2pc was indistinguishably reduced by all kinds of preceding lures, though. Lure-evoked mesio-frontal negativity increased from first to third lures both with digit and color lures and, thereby, might have reflected expectancy for T1.

description: An approach to QCD vacuum as a medium describable in terms of statistical ensemble of almost everywhere homogeneous Abelian (anti-)self-dual gluon fields is reviewed. These fields play the role of the confining medium for color charged fields as well as underline the mechanism of realization of chiral $SU_{\mathrm L}(N_f)\times SU_{\mathrm R}(N_f)$ and $U_{\mathrm A}(1)$ symmetries. Hadronization formalism based on this ensemble leads to manifestly defined quantum effective meson action. Strong, electromagnetic and weak interactions of mesons are represented in the action in terms of nonlocal $n$-point interaction vertices given by the quark-gluon loops averaged over the background ensemble. Systematic results for the mass spectrum and decay constants of radially excited light, heavy-light mesons and heavy quarkonia are presented. Relationship of this approach to the results of functional renormalization group and Dyson-Schwinger equations, and the picture of harmonic confinement is briefly outlined.

description: The possibility for a self-consistent description of all the basic features of the observed cosmic ray spectra and primary composition variations in the energy range of $10^{15}÷10^{20}$ eV within the Galactic origin scenario is examined. We assume the existence of Galactic sources that accelerate particles up to $\sim 3\cdot 10^{18}Z$ eV and take into account a highly inhomogeneous (fractal-like) distribution of matter and magnetic fields in the Galaxy that leads to extremely large free paths of particles ("Lévy flights"), along with an overwhelming contribution to the cosmic ray fluxes observed above $\sim 10^{18}$ eV from particles reaching the Solar System without scattering. Our scenario was refined on the basis of recent experimental results on primary mass composition. Model predictions, which could be verified with the improved high-precision measurements in the nearest future are discussed.

description: With the emergence of cloud computing services, computationally weak devices (Clients) can delegate expensive tasks to more powerful entities (Servers). This raises the question of verifying a result at a lower cost than that of recomputing it. This verification can be private, between the Client and the Server, or public, when the result can be verified by any third party. We here present protocols for the verification of matrix-vector multiplications, that are secure against malicious Servers. The obtained algorithms are essentially optimal in the amortized model: the overhead for the Server is limited to a very small constant factor, even in the sparse or structured matrix case; and the computational time for the public Verifier is linear in the dimension. Our protocols combine probabilistic checks and cryptographic operations, but minimize the latter to preserve practical efficiency. Therefore our protocols are overall more than two orders of magnitude faster than existing ones.

description: The Outer Scutum-Centaurus (OSC) spiral arm is the most distant molecular spiral arm in the Milky Way, but until recently little was known about this structure. Discovered by Dame and Thaddeus (2011), the OSC lies $\sim$15 kpc from the Galactic Center. Due to the Galactic warp, it rises to nearly 4$^{\circ}$ above the Galactic Plane in the first Galactic quadrant, leaving it unsampled by most Galactic plane surveys. Here we observe HII region candidates spatially coincident with the OSC using the Very Large Array to image radio continuum emission from 65 targets and the Green Bank Telescope to search for ammonia and water maser emission from 75 targets. This sample, drawn from the WISE Catalog of Galactic HII Regions, represents every HII region candidate near the longitude-latitude (l,v) locus of the OSC. Coupled with their characteristic mid-infrared morphologies, detection of radio continuum emission strongly suggests that a target is a bona fide HII region. Detections of associated ammonia or water maser emission allow us to derive a kinematic distance and determine if the velocity of the region is consistent with that of the OSC. Nearly 60% of the observed sources were detected in radio continuum, and over 20% have ammonia or water maser detections. The velocities of these sources mainly place them beyond the Solar orbit. These very distant high-mass stars have stellar spectral types as early as O4. We associate high-mass star formation at 2 new locations with the OSC, increasing the total number of detected HII regions in the OSC to 12.

description: This talk starts with highlighting the importance of citations for the production of knowledge, and notes how inaccurate citations contribute to the production of low-quality evidence links. Then, it introduces the issue of inaccurate citations as a worth-while problem that needs more attention and further research. Subsequently, it mentions the difficulties of reporting inaccurate citations and introduces a digital concept that uses persistent identifiers to improve the accuracy of citations in scientific publication. MyCites is a concept for a browser plugin that would allow confirming/rejecting the accuracy, and annotating citations. While in its embryonic stages of development, it has received feedback from a variety of stakeholders who are active in the field of publications. After introducing envisaged capabilities of MyCites, an engaging session will commence that would encourage feedback and comments from the audience.

description: This paper introduces an innovative method for reducing the computational complexity of deep neural networks in real-time speech enhancement on resource-constrained devices. The proposed approach utilizes a two-stage processing framework, employing channelwise feature reorientation to reduce the computational load of convolutional operations. By combining this with a modified power law compression technique for enhanced perceptual quality, this approach achieves noise suppression performance comparable to state-of-the-art methods with significantly less computational requirements. Notably, our algorithm exhibits 3 to 4 times less computational complexity and memory usage than prior state-of-the-art approaches.

description: We present near-infrared interferometry of the carbon-rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star R Sculptoris. The visibility data indicate a broadly circular resolved stellar disk with a complex substructure. The observed AMBER squared visibility values show drops at the positions of CO and CN bands, indicating that these lines form in extended layers above the photosphere. The AMBER visibility values are best fit by a model without a wind. The PIONIER data are consistent with the same model. We obtain a Rosseland angular diameter of 8.9+-0.3 mas, corresponding to a Rosseland radius of 355+-55 Rsun, an effective temperature of 2640+-80 K, and a luminosity of log L/Lsun=3.74+-0.18. These parameters match evolutionary tracks of initial mass 1.5+-0.5 Msun and current mass 1.3+-0.7 Msun. The reconstructed PIONIER images exhibit a complex structure within the stellar disk including a dominant bright spot located at the western part of the stellar disk. The spot has an H-band peak intensity of 40% to 60% above the average intensity of the limb-darkening-corrected stellar disk. The contrast between the minimum and maximum intensity on the stellar disk is about 1:2.5. Our observations are broadly consistent with predictions by dynamic atmosphere and wind models, although models with wind appear to have a circumstellar envelope that is too extended compared to our observations. The detected complex structure within the stellar disk is most likely caused by giant convection cells, resulting in large-scale shock fronts, and their effects on clumpy molecule and dust formation seen against the photosphere at distances of 2-3 stellar radii.

Journeying with ayahuasca: an ethnographic study of tourism for transformation
Creators: name: Ainsworth, Lily
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Ayahuasca tourism in Peru has been widely examined, but few accounts consider all factors leading to a sense of transformation, or discuss the integration phase. This phenomenon has been conceputalised as drug, medical, and spiritual tourism, but considering the underlying desire to transform, this thesis will suggest a new label: tourism for transformation. Through ethnographic fieldwork at an ayahuasca centre outside Pucallpa, Peru, and reflection on current ayahuasca literature and industry actions, this thesis postulates that the sense of transformation comes from drinking ayahuasca (a hallucinogenic brew predominantly used for medicinal/spiritual purposes), plus previous unconsidered factors. These factors include: the formation of expectations through online interactions between industry subgroups (commentators, workers, tourists); the impact of the social and physical environment of a centre; and the challenges of reduced industry and site support once home. The complexity of the integration stage will be highlighted through examples and case studies of informant’s application of their experience and insight into life back home. The theoretical similarities between tourism and pilgrimage will be highlighted, adding to the growing discussion on modern forms of travel, and pointing to avenues for future research that focuses on the final stages of a transformational journey.
title: The Contribution of the Vestibular System to Temporal Attention
Creators: name: Arabi, Saghi
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2024

description: The vestibular end-organ is phylogenetically old and placed deep inside the inner ear, detecting head movement and gravitational pull. The multiplicity of anatomical projections of the vestibular system, reaching cortical and subcortical brain regions, has proven to influence a wide range of higher-level functional relationships, including working memory (WM) and attention. The literature has established an association between the vestibular system and spatial attention, but little or no research has investigated the vestibular system's contribution to temporal attention in either normative or clinical groups. To this end, this thesis explores whether the periodicity of vestibular information can be used by visual and auditory temporal attention and thereon be utilised therapeutically. Chapter 2 examined whether visual and auditory attentional responses were enhanced if the presentation of visual and auditory stimuli coincided with the rhythmic presentation of vestibular pulses induced by Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation (GVS). Unexpectedly, synchronous vestibular signals were shown to inhibit rather than enhance visual response, more so when the vestibular waveform was sinusoidal (AC) than a square wave (DC) pulse. However, enhancement was observed when visual stimuli were replaced with auditory stimuli, although it did not matter if the Onset of the auditory stimuli was synchronised with that of the background vestibular stimuli. Chapter 3 moved on to show that the auditory enhancement was boosted when using an AC bilateral bipolar or AC bilateral bipolar with positive Offset instead of a DC bilateral bipolar signal. A group of participants with Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLDs), such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and dyslexia were recruited to investigate the therapeutic importance of any such improvement; however, the results were inconclusive. This chapter also showed that the visual inhibition seen in Chapter 2 was the product of the viewing conditions, which did not favour multisensory facilitation. Finally, Chapter 4 utilised a Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) paradigm to assess the time course and characteristics of the visual interference effect observed in Chapters 2 and 3. The experiments presented in this chapter found modest evidence of facilitation during GVS but did not cast light on the time course of the interference effect shown in Chapters 2 and 3. Together these thesis findings show that visual and auditory discrimination processes are sensitive to the temporal and morphological characteristics of the vestibular signal. However, this sensitivity differs across the visual and auditory senses and is constrained by task and the multisensory integration principles seen in other non-vestibular types of cross-modal interaction. The findings give further reason to understand how the brain exploits the high temporal fidelity of the vestibular system but do not yet support allied investigations into neuro-rehabilitative potential.

description: One of the biggest problems with the thesis of those that say that say the Shroud of Turin (TS) is a medieval forgery is that no one has been able to replicate that image (let alone replicate the blood stains (real human blood) (1) (2) and the forensic properties of the TS). If the Shroud TS is a medieval art work, it should be an easy matter for someone in the 21st century to work out how it was forged and to replicate it (no mystery surrounds the methods used to produce any alleged forgery other than the TS.) Here we examine some of the best Shroud-replicas ever made, and with reference to the Special and General Theories of Relativity, offer reasons as why these replicas are as unconvincing as they are so obviously are.
Scanning Tunneling Potentiometry, Charge Transport and Landauer's Resistivity Dipole from the Quantum to the Classical Transport Regime

description: Using the non-equilibrium Keldysh formalism, we investigate the spatial relation between the electro-chemical potential measured in scanning tunneling spectroscopy, and local current patterns over the entire range from the quantum to the classical transport regime. These quantities show similar spatial patterns near the quantum limit, but are related by Ohm's law only in the classical regime. We demonstrate that defects induce a Landauer residual resistivity dipole in the electro-chemical potential with the concomitant spatial current pattern representing the field lines of the dipole.

description: More than 300 pulsars have been discovered in Galactic globular clusters; however, none have been found in open clusters. Here we present results from 20-hour pulsar searching observations in seven open clusters with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). Our first discovery is a 1.9-second pulsar (J1922+37) found in the direction of the old open cluster NGC 6791. The measured dispersion measure (DM) implies a distance of 4.79 kpc and 8.92 kpc based on the NE2001 and YMW16 electron density models, respectively. Given the large uncertainty of DM distance estimates, it is likely that PSR J1922+37 is indeed a member of NGC 6791, for which the distance is $4.19\pm0.02$ kpc based on Gaia Data Release 3. If confirmed, PSR J1922+37 will be the first pulsar found in Galactic open clusters. We outline future observations that can confirm this pulsar-open cluster association and discuss the general prospects of finding pulsars in open clusters.

Making email actionable: the identification and use of obligation acts in workplace email / by Andrew Lampert.
Creators: name: Lampert, Andrew Thomas
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: "Email is a key communication medium in business environments, where it is often used to assign and delegate tasks. Existing research has established that task-oriented communication is built upon the exchange of request and commitment speech acts collectively, obligation acts between interlocutors, but email software has so far ignored this insight; it has not adapted to support task management, despite its popularity as a medium for such workflows. The lack of task awareness in email software has been repeatedly highlighted as a key factor in the 'information overload' that burdens many email users. In particular, the difficulty of distilling tasks from the ever-increasing email flow leads to obligations that remain unfulfilled. This thesis explores how to address this problem by making email more actionable. We begin by analysing data from a series of annotation experiments through which we gathered independent human judgements about requests and commitments across a collection of more than 2000 real-world email messages. These annotated messages provide insight into how obligation acts are realised and interpreted. We identify and analyse a range of complex phenomena involved in these speech acts, and provide definitions for identifying them in email. Building on this analysis, we then present effective computational techniques for detecting obligation acts at three levels of granularity within email messages: the message, paragraph and sentence levels. Message-level identification determines whether or not an email message contains obligation acts, and aims to assist users to triage their messages by focusing on those containing actionable content. Paragraph-level identification builds on this to classify each paragraph in the same manner; this enables, for example, the production of extractive summaries of messages. Finally, sentence-level identification classifies each sentence in an email message, and allows requests and commitments to be extracted to external task lists. We use our annotated email data to train supervised machine learning algorithms for each of these classification tasks. These classifiers also exploit a novel classification system that segments the text of email messages into different functional zones, identifying material such as signatures, advertising, and quoted reply content. This enables our obligation classifiers to focus on only relevant email text when identifying requests and commitments. In sum, this thesis provides both theoretical and practical foundations for managing obligation acts in real email data. Our empirically-grounded analysis and the software tools developed on the basis of this analysis demonstrate how it is possible to make email actionable today, as well as providing a platform for future task-related email research." -- Abstract.

description: A scheme to form a basis and a frame for a Hilbert space of quaternion valued square integrable function from a basis and a frame, respectively, of a Hilbert space of complex valued square integrable functions is introduced. Using the discretization techniques for 2D-continuous wavelet transform of the $SIM(2)$ group, the quaternionic continuous wavelet transform, living in a complex valued Hilbert space of square integrable functions, of the quaternion wavelet group is discretized, and thereby, a discrete frame for quaternion valued Hilbert space of square integrable functions is obtained.

description: We have developed an application and implemented parallel algorithms in order to provide a computational framework suitable for massively parallel supercomputers to study the unitary dynamics of quantum systems. We use renowned parallel libraries such as PETSc/SLEPc combined with high-performance computing approaches in order to overcome the large memory requirements to be able to study systems whose Hilbert space dimension comprises over 9 billion independent quantum states. Moreover, we provide descriptions on the parallel approach used for the three most important stages of the simulation: handling the Hilbert subspace basis, constructing a matrix representation for a generic Hamiltonian operator and the time evolution of the system by means of the Krylov subspace methods. We employ our setup to study the evolution of quasidisordered and clean many-body systems, focussing on the return probability and related dynamical exponents: the large system sizes accessible provide novel insights into their thermalization properties.

description: Gait analysis is a well defined area in mechanical engineering. However, in biomedical and mechatronic engineering, Gait analysis of the human body is a lot newer, with many issues to overcome. One of the main problems faced by researchers is the scaling of models for comparison. This project will investigate gait analysis scaling for the human body, and produce a program to speed up the scaling process. This completed project will help assist in defining a more accurate process for scaling gait models and aid research in future to make further discoveries and advancements.

description: Far-field Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) has attracted significant attention in the last decade. Recently, channel-adaptive waveforms have been shown to significantly increase the DC power level at the output of the rectifier. However the design of those waveforms is generally computationally complex and does not lend itself easily to practical implementation. We here propose a low-complexity channel-adaptive multisine waveform design whose performance is very close to that of the optimal design. Performance evaluations confirm the benefits of the new design in various rectifier topologies.
