description: Motivated by the recent interest around blockchains, this research examines whether this technology makes a good fit within the Internet of Things (IoT) sector and Industry 4.0. Blockchain is a decentralized distributed peer-to-peer network where users can interact with each other in a verifiable manner. There are several applications of blockchain. One of the applications of blockchain are smart contracts. Smart contracts is a computer protocol that acts as a self-executing contract with the terms of the agreement between the two parties being directly written in code. Smart contracts are distributed using the blockchain ledger. Because this ledger updates in real time across all of its users it is verifiable and can be used to replace traditional contracts and their mediators. One of the advantages of smart contracts is aimed at efficiency. Smart contracts can offer time and cost savings compared to the traditional contract process. Because there is no need for a traditional mediator. But are people willing to surrender themselves to the technology?
A proteomic analysis of the behavioural effects of sugar cross-sensitisation with methamphetamine in the nucleus accumbens

description: The ease in accessibility to sugar-rich products has contributed to a dramatic increase in the consumption of sugar among the adolescent population. Likewise, due to its reinforcing properties, methamphetamine (METH) abuse and its associated mental health problems are another global burden. Both sugar and METH elicit their effects on similar neuronal systems, primarily the mesolimbic dopaminergic system which regulates the nucleus accumbens (NAc) of the brain. This study aimed to investigate the effects of chronic sugar consumption during adolescence on METH-induced locomotor activity in adulthood and associated changes to protein levels in the NAc of rats. Following 4 weeks of chronic sugar or water exposure, and a 6 week treatment-free period, rats were challenged with METH or vehicle and their locomotor behaviour measured. Following 24 hours, changes in protein levels in the NAc were identified using a proteomic approach. In comparison to the controls treated with water and challenged with saline (Water/Saline), the Water/METH group demonstrated significantly greater locomotor activation (p < 0.05). Providing support for behavioural cross-sensitisation, the Sugar/METH condition significantly demonstrated greater locomotor activity compared to the Water/METH condition (p < 0.05). Proteomic analyses revealed that a total of 93 differentially expressed proteins were identified in the NAc of the Water/METH rats compared to controls. These proteins were mainly involved in coordinating mitochondrial functioning and neuronal morphology. In comparison to the Water/METH animals, the Sugar/METH animals demonstrated significant changes to a total of 102 proteins that were mainly involved in mitochondrial dysfunction and synaptic plasticity. Proteomic analyses identified a total of 74 differentially expressed proteins in the Sugar/METH condition compared to controls which were mainly critical in regulating cellular processes and molecular transport.

Towards a neo-Harvard case study method: the dialogical development of design principles and a 'hardwired humans' MBA prototype
Creators: name: Dorfling, Tamzyn
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Early in the 20th century, the Harvard case study method - a pedagogical tool that teaches through the use of story - was introduced by the Harvard Business School. This method has been increasingly used across the globe, but since the turn of the century there has been theoretical criticism of the Harvard case study method in teaching appropriate leadership skills, and practical initiatives attempting to transcend it. Yet the theoretical critique and pedagogic initiatives have not been combined to create principle-based design courses that draw on the strengths yet overcome the weaknesses of the Harvard method. Drawing on a comprehensive review of the critical literature, a case-based analysis of a successful evolutionary psychology-based leadership programme, and an integrative and cyclical dialogue with the programme developer-facilitator, this dissertation develops and prototypes a set of design principles for a neo-Harvard case study method. There are four chief contributions made, the first being a comprehensive consolidation of the pedagogical literature bearing on the case study method. Secondly, this is translated into principles that build on the strengths yet overcome the weaknesses of the method. Thirdly, this work provides a case study analysis of a successful leadership programme, generating case-based recommendations for successful pedagogic delivery. Finally, this work brings together findings generated by the theory case study data, and dialogue with the practitioner, as a set of practical pedagogical design principles and a neo-Harvard case study method prototype suitable for delivery in a university-based Master of Business Administration (MBA) setting.

description: A standard method to obtain information on a quantum state is to measure marginal distributions along many different axes in phase space, which forms a basis of quantum state tomography. We theoretically propose and experimentally demonstrate a general framework to manifest nonclassicality by observing a single marginal distribution only, which provides a novel insight into nonclassicality and a practical applicability to various quantum systems. Our approach maps the 1-dim marginal distribution into a factorized 2-dim distribution by multiplying the measured distribution or the vacuum-state distribution along an orthogonal axis. The resulting fictitious Wigner function becomes unphysical only for a nonclassical state, thus the negativity of the corresponding density operator provides an evidence of nonclassicality. Furthermore, the negativity measured this way yields a lower bound for entanglement potential---a measure of entanglement generated using a nonclassical state with a beam splitter setting that is a prototypical model to produce continuous-variable (CV) entangled states. Our approach detects both Gaussian and non-Gaussian nonclassical states in a reliable and efficient manner. Remarkably, it works regardless of measurement axis for all non-Gaussian states in finite-dimensional Fock space of any size, also extending to infinite-dimensional states of experimental relevance for CV quantum informatics. We experimentally illustrate the power of our criterion for motional states of a trapped ion confirming their nonclassicality in a measurement-axis independent manner. We also address an extension of our approach combined with phase-shift operations, which leads to a stronger test of nonclassicality, i.e. detection of genuine non-Gaussianity under a CV measurement.

Definitive view of the ISM in the Local Universe
Creators: name: Casasola, Viviana
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Understanding the interplay between the various components of the interstellar medium (ISM: dust, atomic and molecular gas) in galaxies of the Local Universe is of fundamental importance for studies of galactic formation and evolution. In the last decade, thanks in particular to Herschel, we made a considerable effort in the study of one of these components, the dust. In this framework, the European DustPedia project has been devised aimed at performing a complete characterization of dust in the Local Universe. However, we need information on all the phases of the ISM to draw definitive conclusions on it. Nearby galaxies are characterized by an intricate system of correlations between their global properties. These correlations form the basis of the so-called 'scaling relations', which are fundamental providing a quantitative mean to characterize how physical properties of galaxies relate to each other. Galaxy scaling relations also provide a tool to study the internal physics of galaxies, as well as their formation and evolutionary histories in different galaxy populations. I present the main scaling relations computed using uniformly homogenized data of molecular and atomic gas, dust, metallicity, stellar mass, and morphology for a sample of ~450 nearby (z<0.01), late-type galaxies extracted from the DustPedia sample. These scaling relations have been tested under several physical assumptions (e.g., constant and metallicity-dependent CO-to-H2 conversion factor). Only such a large and coherent dataset of all phases of the ISM can provide a definitive view of the ISM in the Local Universe and permit to link it with that at high redshift, tracing its evolution. ALMA is revealing the molecular gas component and the dust at (sub-)millimeter wavelengths, while telescopes as JVLA and, in future, SKA detect the atomic gas component (the 21 cm emission line). Our approach therefore represents a example of synergy between current and future IR/(sub-)mm/cm facilities which allows us to discuss, through the ISM, our understanding of galaxy evolution from nearby galaxies up to the early Universe.
The first large, unbiased ALMA survey of CO at parsec resolution in the Small Magellanic Cloud
Creators: name: Jameson, Katie
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) at only 1/5 solar metallicity is the only galaxy near enough to study the effect of a low metallicity environment on the physics of star formation and the ISM on small spatial scales. Understanding the effects of low metallicity is crucial for understanding galaxies in the early universe and the evolution of galaxies over cosmic time. Initial ALMA observations in the SMC show similar compact CO clumps (Jameson et al. 2018), but only small areas targeting specific star-forming regions have been mapped to date and we lack a statistically significant sample of the CO structure throughout the galaxy. We used ALMA in ACA standalone mode to map a 1.0 deg x 0.5 deg (~1 kpc x 500 pc) area of the Southwest Bar of the SMC at ~6.5'' resolution and cover an unprecedented range in size scales from ~1.5 pc to 1 kpc. Our new map shows previously undetectable small (~pc) molecular gas clumps, similar to what is seen in WLM (Rubio et al. 2015) and NGC 6822 (Schruba et al. 2017), but across a much larger scale. I will discuss the properties of the CO-emitting gas and how it compares to the HI gas from our new ATCA HI absorption survey and GASKAP HI map and what that reveals about the atomic-to-molecular transition at low metallicity.

description: Soymilk contains several functional nutrients and is thus a promising ingredient for production of functional foods. The present research aimed to study starter properties, functional characteristics and safety of Lactobacillus paraplantarum D2-1, a promising starter culture for soymilk fermentation. Strain D2-1 actively fermented soymilk within 24 h but had weak activity of additional acid production after 7 d. Succinate and acetoin, which could be linked to flavour and taste, were accumulated in fermented soymilk. In vitro study revealed that the organism has several beneficial properties, including high survival ability in artificial gastric juice, high abilities of mucus adhesion and biofilm formation and production of γ-aminobutyric acid and conjugated linoleic acid, without any significant risks for consumption. Genome sequencing supported the desirable metabolic properties of the strain. These results indicate that L. paraplantarum D2-1 is a suitable starter for soymilk fermentation and is a promising probiotic candidate that can be used safely.

Melodic contour training and its effect on speech perception for cochlear implant recipients
Creators: name: Lo, Chi Yhun
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Cochlear implant (CI) recipients have generally good performance for speech in quiet, but have difficulty in adverse conditions such as noise, and more complex tasks such as music listening. Auditory training has been proposed as a means of improving speech perception for CI recipients, and most recent efforts have been focussed on the potential benefits that music-based training may have. This study evaluated two melodic contour training programs that varied in musical mechanism, and evaluated their relative efficacy as measured on speech perception tasks. These melodic contours were simple 5-note sequences formed into 9 patterns such as “Rising” or “Falling”. One training program controlled difficulty by manipulating interval sizes, the other by note durations. Sixteen CI recipients and twelve normal hearing listeners were tested on a speech perception battery for a baseline measure, and then commenced melodic contour training for 6 weeks, after which they were retested. Results indicated there were some benefits for speech perception tasks after melodic contour training. Specifically, consonant perception in quiet was improved, as was question/statement prosody. There was no significant difference between either musical mechanism, suggesting that both conferred benefits for training CI recipients to better perceive speech.
Extremely cold dusty galaxies at z=4-6: first direct evidence of CMB impact on high-z galaxy observables
Creators: name: Shuowen Jin
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: We report observations of z=6-7 galaxy candidates IR-selected from FIR/submm observations, that are spectroscopically confirmed to be at z=3.62-5.85 by ALMA 3mm line scans. These galaxies have extremely cold dust temperatures, which mimicked much higher redshifts, with respect to known galaxies at z>4. Their dust temperatures are moderately above CMB temperatures, which thus plays a non-negligible role impacting their RJ beta-slopes and observed CO fluxes. High resolution ALMA imaging shows compact morphologies and evidences for mergers. This work reveals a population of cold dusty star-forming galaxies that were missing in current surveys. The physical mechanism accounting for their cold dust temperatures could be either rapid metal enrichment or low star formation efficiency.
Fabrication of advanced titanium dioxide nanotubes

description: Titanium dioxide nanotube arrays can be synthesised through different methods such as hydrothermal synthesis and electrolytic anodisation. The specific properties of the titanium dioxide nanotube can be changed through the modification of the fabrication process such as changes to electrolyte and the addition of metal deposition. The crystalline structure of the self-organised titanium dioxide nanotube arrays was then altered in an annealing process. Titanium dioxide has many applications such as solar energy generation or use as a photo catalyst. By arranging the structure of titanium oxide in the form of tubes, the effectiveness of its ability in use as a photo catalyst increases. This paper looks at how titanium oxide nanotube arrays are being used as a photo catalyst. The structure of titanium dioxide nanotube arrays was then optimised and adjusted to increase the photocatalytic effectiveness in degradation of a common pollutant, Rhodamine B. Rhodamine B was diluted in distilled water and placed in a photocatalytic chamber with a sample of foil with the titanium dioxide nanotube arrays and illuminated with a 300W Xeon lamp and the degradation was recorded.

description: In search of origin and mechanism of the high-dose high-temperature TL emission with presence of the peak `B` about thirty batches of LiF:Mg,Cu,P detectors with different dopants` concentration were produced and comprehensive studies of their high-dose TL features have been performed. Within each step of the research, these characteristics were compared with the high-dose TL properties of the typical MCP-N detectors` batch highly exposed simultaneously with the detectors from batches of varying dopants concentration. We determined the effect of concentration of specific dopants on the TL peak `B`. It was found that both magnesium and copper are necessary to obtain high-dose TL signal, however, the important for high-dose TL features seems to be also concentration of phosphorus. In the framework of this study we present results of magnesium and copper concentration changes to the TL signal after high-doses of electron radiation.
Perceptions of writing: writing in English for academic purposes (EAP) programs and writing in disciplines

description: In this qualitative case study, I investigated academic writing in two contexts. The first was writing task designers at an EAP program, the second was the academics in the discipline of Accounting and Corporate Governance. Two participant task designers from each context volunteered their perspectives on the role and function of academic writing in their respective settings. The research questions were: 1) How is academic writing conceptualised in a university direct entry preparation program for business, accounting and economics at Macquarie University’s ELC? ; 2) How is academic writing conceptualised in the discipline of Accounting and Corporate Governance at Macquarie University? ; 3) How are participants’ views about academic writing compared in the two contexts? To answer the research questions, I collected task descriptions, evaluation criteria, task descriptions and follow-up interviews with task designers and unit convenors from the participants. To facilitate data storage and analysis, I used Nvivo 11 for Windows. Drawing on Roz Ivanič’s (2004) theoretical framework, I coded and categorised data into discrete concepts. Analysis of participants’ perspectives reflected core concepts encountered in Ivanič’s framework, although some responses combined discourses separately proposed by Ivanič. Although dominant perceptions on the features of academic writing reflected skills discourse and genre discourse, findings showed that the approaches to writing task design in both contexts are more compatible with social practice, genre and process discourse. There were no signs of skills approaches to teaching writing in the design of writing tasks. I discussed the findings to illuminate potential implications for different stakeholders.

description: Electron capture on $^{20}$Ne is thought to play a crucial role in the final evolution of electron-degenerate ONe stellar cores. Recent calculations suggest that the capture process is dominated by the second-forbidden transition between the ground states of $^{20}$Ne and $^{20}$F, making an experimental determination of this transition strength highly desirable. To accomplish this task we are refurbishing an intermediate-image magnetic spectrometer capable of focusing 7 MeV electrons, and designing a scintillator detector surrounded by an active cosmic-ray veto shield, which will serve as an energy-dispersive device at the focal plane.

description: It is shown that the total set of equations, which determines the dynamics of the domain bounds (DB) in a weak ferromagnet, has the same type of specific solution as the well-known Walker's solution for ferromagnets. We calculated the functional dependence of the velocity of the DB on the magnetic field, which is described by the obtained solution. This function has a maximum at a finite field and a section of the negative differential mobility of the DB. According to the calculation, the maximum velocity $ c \approx 2 \times 10^6$ cm/sec in YFeO$_3$ is reached at $H_m \approx 4 \times 10^3$ Oe.

A simple model for the location of Saturn's F ring

description: In this paper, we introduce a simplified model to understand the location of Saturn's F ring. The model is a planar restricted five-body problem defined by the gravitational field of Saturn, including its second zonal harmonic $J_2$, the shepherd moons Prometheus and Pandora, and Titan. We compute accurate long-time numerical integrations of (about 2.5 million) non-interacting test-particles initially located in the region between the orbits of Prometheus and Pandora, and address whether they escape or remain trapped in this region. We obtain a wide region of initial conditions of the test particles that remain confined. We consider a dynamical stability indicator for the test particles' motion defined by computing the ratio of the standard deviation over the average value of relevant dynamical quantities, in particular, for the mean-motion and the semi-major axis. This indicator separates clearly a subset of trapped initial conditions that appear as very localized stripes in the initial semi-major axis and eccentricity space for the most stable orbits. Retaining only these test particles, we obtain a narrow eccentric ring which displays sharp edges and collective alignment. The semi-major axis of the accumulation stripes of the stable ring-particles can be associated with resonances, mostly involving Prometheus' outer Lindblad and co-rotation resonances, but not exclusively. Pandora's inner Lindblad and co-rotation resonances as well as low-order three-body resonances typically coincide with gaps, i.e., regions of instabilities. Comparison of our results with the nominal data for the F ring shows some correspondence.

description: Understanding the influence of structure of dispersal network on the species persistence and modeling a much realistic species dispersal in nature are two central issues in spatial ecology. A realistic dispersal structure which favors the persistence of interacting ecological systems has been studied in [Holland \& Hastings, Nature, 456:792--795 (2008)], where it is shown that a randomization of the structure of dispersal network in a metapopulation model of prey and predator increases the species persistence via clustering, prolonged transient dynamics, and amplitudes of population fluctuations. In this paper, by contrast, we show that a deterministic network topology in a metapopulation can also favor asynchrony and prolonged transient dynamics if species dispersal obeys a long-range interaction governed by a distance-dependent power-law. To explore the effects of power-law coupling, we take a realistic ecological model, namely the Rosenzweig-MacArthur model in each patch (node) of the network of oscillators, and show that the coupled system is driven from synchrony to asynchrony with an increase in the power-law exponent. Moreover, to understand the relationship between species persistence and variations in power-law exponent, we compute correlation coefficient to characterize cluster formation, synchrony order parameter and median predator amplitude. We further show that smaller metapopulations with less number of patches are more vulnerable to extinction as compared to larger metapopulations with higher number of patches. We believe that the present work improves our understanding of the interconnection between the random network and deterministic network in theoretical ecology.

description: Osteoarthritis (OA) can be a debilitating degenerative disease and is the most common form of arthritic disease. There is a general consensus that current non-surgical therapies are insufficient for younger OA sufferers who are not candidates for knee arthroplasties. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs) therapy for the treatment of OA can slow disease progression and lead to neocartilage formation. Using Hyaluronan (HA) for delivery of MSC therapy in OA is widespread with no consideration of altered MSC function. The mechanism of action of MSCs is secretion driven. Therefore we sought to elucidate the effects of different concentrations of hyaluronan on MSC growth kinetics and evaluate the effect on the MSC secretome. Using a range of clinically relevant preparations, a titration of hyaluronan concentrations, we assessed MSC adherence and proliferation on both culture plastic surfaces and a novel cartilage-adhesion assay. We employed an adherence time-course and dispersion imaging techniques to assess MSC binding to cartilage. Our data showed HA had profound dose-dependent effects on early growth kinetics and the secretome of MSCs at concentrations up to the hyaluronan entanglement point at 1 mg/mL. At higher concentrations viscosity effects outweighed any benefit of additional HA. The novel cartilage-adhesion assay revealed for the first time that HA-primed MSCs can increase cell attachment to cartilage and that the presence of HA did not. In conclusion, the investigation showed HA can have profound dose-dependent effects on MSCs. Although early data cytokine data suggested HA would negatively impact MSC mode of action, functional assessments of human osteoarthritic cartilage and synovium demonstrated HA culture modulated negative effects produce by the MSC secretome. Thus we have shown through exploration of the MSC secretome that MSCs cultured in HA would have a synergistic effect in MSC therapy for the treatment of knee OA.

description: This thesis argues that journalism has been neglected as a major source in researching histories of ideas and public intellectualism in Australia. It responds to calls by historians for a close examination of journalism and undertakes an extensive survey of articles from 1885 to 1945 in the Sydney Morning Herald, Daily Telegraph, Adelaide Advertiser and Register newspapers and transcripts of Australian Broadcasting Commission talks programs. The study focuses on one form of philosophical and political thought, New Idealism, which has received little detailed academic attention in Australia. New Idealism, also known as British Idealism, was a philosophical movement of the mid to late nineteenth century and first half of the twentieth century that migrated to Australia with the former students of the British philosophers T. H. Green (1836 – 1882) and Edward Caird (1835 – 1908). New Idealism was very much a practical philosophy and its followers were just as likely to be found in public lecture halls and on school boards as in university offices. In Australia this public face of New Idealism extended to the media. The thesis identifies a considerable body of previously unknown work in newspaper articles and radio broadcasts by five Australian Idealist thinkers: William Jethro Brown (1869-1930); Francis Anderson (1858 – 1941); Mungo MacCallum (1854-1942); Garnet Vere Portus (1883 – 1954) and Ernest Burgmann (1885 – 1967). Four areas of thought as revealed in the media are examined: on education; the role of the state; international relations and war and post-war reconstruction. The thesis finds a sympathetic media, particularly the Sydney Morning Herald under the proprietorship of the Fairfax family, facilitated coverage of these debates and enabled the Australian Idealists to have, at times, considerable influence as public intellectuals. This leads to a conclusion that an historical focus on the journalistic report is a highly successful research approach in intellectual history.

Biomechanics of aneurysms

description: Determining the stiffness of artery walls is a difficult task due to their dynamic behaviour and presence in the human body. Knowledge of artery wall stiffness would prove invaluable in predicting when an aneurysm is at high risk of rupture. Aneurysm rupture is a failure of the artery wall and hence is directly related to its mechanical properties.Medical imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are able to provide information on a number of mechanical characteristics that are critical to aneurysm behaviour. However, they cannot determine the artery wall stiffness or Young's modulus (E) which is needed to perform a failure analysis. Multiple silicon rubber models of aneurysms will be produced and will vary in stiffness. The models will be placed into a flow circuit to simulate the flow of blood through them. The velocity through the models will then be measured and used to create a velocity stiffness relationship. The process will be repeated for different sized aneurysm models. The velocity stiffness relationship for each sized aneurysm will then be combined into one graph. The size of, and velocity through an aneurysm can then be used to estimate the artery wall stiffness and hence predict the risk of rupture.

Restriction presheaves and restriction colimits

description: Restriction categories, as defined by Cockett and Lack, are an abstraction of the notion of partial functions between sets, and therefore, are important in furthering our understanding of what it means to be partial. This thesis builds upon the work of Cockett and Lack, by providing restriction analogues of notions from ordinary category theory. One such notion is that of free cocompletion. We show that every restriction category may be freely completed to a cocomplete restriction category, and that this free cocompletion can be described in terms of a restriction category of restriction presheaves. Indeed, a restriction presheaf is defined precisely so that this is the case. We then generalise free cocompletion to join restriction categories, which are categories whose compatible maps may be combined in some way. To do this, we introduce the notion of join restriction presheaf, and show that for any join restriction category, its join restriction category of join restriction presheaves is its free cocompletion. The second half of this thesis explores the notion of restriction colimit. More precisely,we define the restriction colimit of a restriction functor weighted by a restriction presheaf. We also show that cocomplete restriction categories may be characterised as those having all such restriction colimits. Finally, we give applications of restriction colimits. Some examples of restriction colimits are gluings of atlases in a restriction category, and composition o frestriction profunctors. We conclude this thesis with notions in category theory that have no analogue in the restriction setting.
