description: A majority of wastewater plants in the United States use conventional activated sludge (CAS) in their treatment process. While CAS is a common practice, it is not without faults. One of its drawbacks is the difficulty in maintaining the process, as it is often prone to bulking, which is caused by an undesired build up of filamentous bacteria and results in sludge that does not settle. Additional drawbacks include limited space for WWTPs to expand and the energy costs required for aeration during CAS treatment. Because CAS infrastructure is so common, optimizing this technology is crucial for the prevention of water pollution. Some solutions for these problems have been developed including aerobic granulation, which allows the plant to have a smaller footprint; however, these advanced wastewater technologies are not easily implemented in existing WWTPs.

description: We calculate the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the excited charmonium $χ_{cJ}$ associated with $ W^+ b $ production from top-quark decay. Our results show that detecting the $χ_{c0}$ production from top-quark decay is very difficult, but the $χ_{c1}$ and $χ_{c2}$ productions have the potential to be detected at the LHC. If the prompt $χ_{cJ}$ production from top-quark decay is really detected at the LHC, it will be useful not only for investigating $J/ψ$ production from top-quark decay but also for understanding the heavy quarkonium production mechanism.

The development of Japanese studies in Hong Kong
Creators: name: Murakami, Hitoshi
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis examines how the Hong Kong mentality has affected the development of Japanese studies in Hong Kong. It first defines the Hong Kong mentality as "insecure" "flexible" and "pragmatic" and analyses the background against which these characteristics developed. It places an emphasis on the unique history of Hong Kong, colonized by the British, once occupied by the Japanese, and finally reunified with China. -- The development of Japanese studies in three different periods is analysed according to the demand for Japanese studies. The Period of Low Demand characterizes Japanese studies from the establishment of colonial Hong Kong until the 1950s, with particular attention to the sense of insecurity Hong Kong people lived under, and the weak Japanese presence in Hong Kong society. The Period of Growth of Demand examines the rapid growth of Japanese studies from the 1960s to the 1980s and discovers that it was due both to a strengthened Japanese presence and pragmatic motivations driving the growth. Finally, the Period of Expansion of Demand describes the current expansion of Japanese studies into new areas. It is analysed that the expansion came about because of new factors such as the penetration of Japanese popular culture into Hong Kong, reduced insecurity, and the introduction of a new education system.

description: Background: Student failure creates additional economic costs. Knowing the cost of failure helps to frame its economic burden relative to other educational issues, providing an evidence-base to guide priority setting and allocation of resources. The Ingredients Method is a cost-analysis approach which has been previously applied to health professions education research. In this study, the Ingredients Method is introduced, and applied to a case study, investigating the cost of pre-clinical student failure. Methods: The four step Ingredients Method was introduced and applied: (1) identify and specify resource items, (2) measure volume of resources in natural units, (3) assign monetary prices to resource items, and (4) analyze and report costs. Calculations were based on a physiotherapy program at an Australian university. Results: The cost of failure was £5991 per failing student, distributed across students (70%), the government (21%), and the university (8%). If the cost of failure and attrition is distributed among the remaining continuing cohort, the cost per continuing student educated increases from £9923 to £11,391 per semester. Conclusions: The economics of health professions education is complex. Researchers should consider both accuracy and feasibility in their costing approach, toward the goal of better informing cost-conscious decision-making.

description: The long-standing challenge to describing charged particle dynamics in strong classical electromagnetic fields is how to incorporate classical radiation, classical radiation reaction and quantized photon emission into a consistent unified framework. The current, semiclassical methods to describe dynamics of quantum particles in strong classical fields also provide the theoretical framework for fundamental questions in gravity and hadron-hadron collisions, including Hawking radiation, cosmological particle production and thermalization of particles created in heavy-ion collisions. However, as we show, these methods break down for highly relativistic particles propagating in strong fields. They must therefore be improved and adapted for the description of laser-plasma experiments that typically involve the acceleration of electrons. Theory developed from quantum electrodynamics, together with dedicated experimental efforts, offer the best-controllable context to establish a robust, experimentally-validated foundation for the fundamental theory of quantum effects in strong classical potentials.

The thermodynamic scalar curvatures for these black holes characterizes the liquid-gas like first order phase transition analogous to the van der Waals fluids, through the $R$-Crossing Method. It is also shown that the thermodynamic scalar curvatures diverge as a function of the temperature at the critical point.

The Australian Militia in New Guinea, 1940-1945

Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The essential thesis of this investigation is that the disparaged reputation of the Australian Militia in the South West Pacific campaign of 1942-45 was unwarranted. This underration of the Militia was held widely throughout the community and in the early stages of the war, even by the AIF itself. It had its origins in difficulties suffered by the Militia in pre-war days and although an analysis of these is outside the scope of this work and largely pre-dates it, they were to be compounded by the Militia's early reverses on the Kokoda Trail. These defeats were the first to be suffered by an Australian force so close to home and although they were not the first reverses suffered by the Australian Army in World War II, their close proximity to Australia aroused greater apprehension. The Kokoda reverses therefore contrasted detrimentally to the Militia 's image because whereas they occurred during its initial introduction to battle, they compared unfavourably with the immediate and spectacular successes won by the AIF in its introductory battles in the Middle East.

description: Целью работы является выявление антропологических основ формирования городов. Проверяются гипотезы об участии автохтонного населения в формировании города, и одновременно степень влияния мигрантов на формирование облика городских жителей. Результаты проведенных анализов позволяют выявить западные и юго-западные векторы миграции, оказавшие влияние на облик городских жителей в позднем средневековье и на рубеже Нового времени. Обнаруженные закономерности отражают как воздействие процессов урбанизации, так и влияние широколицего и более массивного населения, сформировавшегося, возможно, на балтской основе. Население городов Среднего Поволжья вместе с тем обнаруживает черты, характерные для восточнофинских групп, что означает активное участие местных племен в формировании населения этих городов.
Mesostructured composite materials with electrically tunable upconversion properties

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: A promising approach of designing mesostructured materials with novel physical behavior is to combine unique optical and electronic properties of solid nanoparticles with long-range ordering and facile response of soft matter to weak external stimuli. Here we design, practically realize, and characterize orientationally ordered nematic liquid crystalline dispersions of rod-like upconversion nanoparticles. Boundary conditions on particle surfaces, defined through surface functionalization, promote spontaneous unidirectional self-alignment of the dispersed rod-like nanoparticles, mechanically coupled to the molecular ordering direction of the thermotropic nematic liquid crystal host. As host is electrically switched at low voltages~ 1V, nanorods rotate, yielding tunable upconversion and polarized luminescence properties of the composite. We characterize spectral and polarization dependencies, explain them through invoking models of electrical switching and upconversion dependence on crystalline matrices of nanorods, and discuss potential practical uses.

description: Today’s current best practices for wastewater treatment involve aerobic processes that require substantial amounts of energy. Best practice aerobic wastewater treatment facilities with anaerobic digestion of biosolids are able to produce 500-700 kWh/MG, which is approximately one-third to one-half of the 1500-2000 kWh/MG used to operate the facility. On the other hand, primary anaerobic treatment has the potential to be energy-positive by using methane gas produced by anaerobic microbial communities in the system. Previous results from the pilot-scale four-compartment anaerobic hybrid reactor (anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) – anaerobic fixed film reactor (AFFR)) at Mines Park suggest that the multiple-compartment configuration enhances COD and TSS removal while generating stoichiometric amounts of methane. Additional advantages of anaerobic wastewater treatment in multiple-compartment reactors include the production of less biosolids and low energy usage. The purpose of this research is to characterize the ABR-AFFR for COD removal, TSS removal, and methane generation during the month of July when high temperatures (22-25 ˚C) are observed. COD and TSS removal is compared to the EPA 7-day secondary standards (45 mg BOD5/L and 45 mg TSS/L). Methane flowrate is also evaluated for trends and converted to theoretical energy values. Results suggest that the ABR-AFFR is able to achieve the 7-day EPA secondary standards for BOD5 and TSS under summer conditions, while generating enough methane to theoretically power the reactor system.
The art of walking in Australian contemporary practice
Creators: name: Wolff, Sharne
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis explores walking as a dynamic and vital physical practice in the production of contemporary Australian visual art. In the tradition of Charles Baudelaire's evocation of the flâneur as adapted by Walter Benjamin and late twentieth-century artists, the research explores two aspects of the intersection of art and walking in an urban context; it critically evaluates artistic output created as a consequence of the performative act of walking; and it examines visual art that involves walking as its major component. The question that unites these two fields of inquiry and addresses a gap in the current knowledge is one that asks how the immediate physical experience of walking has reinvigorated the artistic creative process. An interdisciplinary critical analysis of specific art practices focuses on three contemporary Australian artists. Although they work in various media and via a broad choice of subjects, Noel McKenna, Daniel Crooks and Lauren Brincat have each produced work that is a consequence of walking. Each employs a different mode of walking practice or performance. The thesis contends that the links between art and walking practices play an increasingly important role in Australian contemporary art, and reveals the broader implications of this connection.

description: Background: Threshold concepts (TCs) are defined as ideas within a discipline that are often conceptually difficult (“troublesome”), but when learned, transform a learner’s understanding. Electroencephalography (EEG) has been recognized as a conceptually difficult field in neurology, and a study of threshold concepts in EEG may provide insights into how it is taught and learned. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were performed with 12 EEG experts in the US and Canada. Experts identified potential TCs and troublesome knowledge, and explored how these concepts were taught and learned. Interview transcripts were coded and analyzed using a general thematic analysis approach, based on the core elements of the threshold concepts framework. Results: One concept (polarity) emerged most clearly as a threshold concept. Other troublesome areas included pattern interpretation and clinical significance, but these lacked some of the characteristics of TCs. Several themes emerged, including the role of TCs and troublesome knowledge in determining expertise and the role of prior experience. Conclusions: We have used the threshold concepts framework to explore potential barriers to learning, suggest ways to support learners, and identify potential points of emphasis for teaching and learning EEG. A similar approach could be applied to the study of teaching and learning in other conceptually difficult areas of medical education.
Hidden Markov model for discrete circular-linear wind data time series

description: In this work, we deal with a bivariate time series of wind speed and direction. Our observed data have peculiar features, such as informative missing values, non-reliable measures under a specific condition and interval-censored data, that we take into account in the model specification. We analyze the time series with a non-parametric Bayesian hidden Markov model, introducing a new emission distribution based on the invariant wrapped Poisson, the Poisson and the hurdle density, suitable to model our data. The model is estimated on simulated datasets and on the real data example that motivated this work.
The effect of chronic sucrose consumption during adolescence on dopamine D2 receptor function in a rodent model
Creators: name: Boh, Jessica
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Sugar consumption has been suggested to alter the dopaminergic motivation-reward systems of the brain. Adolescence is a major period of development in the dopaminergic motivation-reward systems, making this system particularly vulnerable during this period, yet the consequences of chronic excess sugar consumption on dopamine receptor function during adolescence have not been thoroughly examined. This study investigated the effects of unrestricted access to sucrose solution throughout adolescence (PND35-60) on dopamine D2 receptors in the striatum, using a male rodent model. Positron emission tomography imaging using [11C]raclopride was conducted on one cohort of animals (N=12) on the final day of treatment and following a 6 week washout. Data were analysed using partial saturation analysis to give measures of functional D2 receptor density and apparent D2 receptor affinity. Mixed ANOVA found a range of significant main effects and interactions between treatment group and time in functional D2 receptor density in three rostro-caudal levels of striatum. There were no significant treatment group or time effects on apparent D2 receptor affinity. Autoradiography imaging using [3H]raclopride was conducted on a second cohort of animals (N=12), following a 10 day washout. There was no significant difference in total D2 receptor density between treatment groups in any region of interest in the striatal area. These results suggest that chronic excess sugar consumption during adolescence impacts functional, but not total, D2 receptor density in the striatum and these effects may last into adulthood.
Proposal for an integrated Raman-free correlated photon source
Creators: name: Blay, Daniel
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The on-demand generation of identical single photons is one of the most keenly sought capabilities in quantum optics. Such sources are a key resource in optical implementations of quantum information processing, such as quantum communication or computing. Many current heralded single-photon sources use the third order nonlinear optical process of spontaneous four wave mixing, whereby two pump photons are converted into a single photon and an idler photon. These sources can be based on integrated or fibre platforms, but suffer from the spontaneous generation of Raman-shifted photons, particularly in amorphous materials. This noise limits their utility, as heralding detectors cannot distinguish between genuine pairs produced by the source and unpaired single photons. In this thesis we propose and theoretically analyse a new photon generation method we term "Stimulated Spontaneous Three Photon Down Conversion". Pumping a nonlinear material at the third harmonic, we spontaneously generate three photons at the fundamental frequency - spectrally isolated from the Raman noise around the pump. A weak seed beam near the fundamental frquency leads to an increase in the rate of correlated pairs produced on either side of the seed, resulting in an effective heralded single-photon source of much reduced noise. We work in the framework of a fully multi-mode Hamiltonian formalism of nonlinear quantum optics. Applying this technique in fused silica microfibre could in principle produce 0.03 pairs per pulse, with realistic pump field requirements.
DROPFL: Client Dropout Attacks Against Federated Learning Under Communication Constraints
Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2024

description: Federated learning (FL) has emerged as a promising paradigm for decentralized machine learning while preserving data privacy. However, under communication constraints, the standard FL protocol faces the risk of client dropout. Although some research has focused on the risk from the perspectives of communication optimization and privacy protection, it is still challenging to deal with the client dropout issue in dynamic networks, where clients may join or drop the training process at any time. In this paper, we systematically investigate and measure the impact of client dropout on FL by considering the offline duration, frequency, and pattern. Our work allows researchers to gain valuable insights into potential vulnerabilities. First, we assume an attacker can control a limited subset of clients and manipulate these clients to persistent dropout (PD) or random dropout (RD) in some iterative round during the training process. Then, we simulate a Shapley value-based dropout (SVD) attack to preferentially drop the local model of these controlled clients with highly valuable data per iterative round. Furthermore, extensive experiments are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed attacks on existing FL algorithms.

description: The belt of south east Australia where the Blue Mountains lie, with its extensive Eucalypt forests, is among the most fire prone regions in the world. Co-existing with fire in coming decades will mean greater challenges for the people in this landscape as recent reports link climate change to increasing bushfire risk (Climate Change Authority, 2014; Hughes and Steffen, 2013). A survey by CSIRO (Leviston et. al. 2014, page 2) on the attitudes of Australians towards climate change show that 47.3% believe in human-induced climate change. But what does that mean in terms of how people behave and act for climate change? The same survey noted that the degree in surety of climate change did not predict behaviour. Experts have commented that climate science is reductionist, techno scientific and disengaged from the everyday lives of ordinary people (Brace and Geoghegan, 2010; Hulme 2009; Backstrand and Lovbrandt, 2006). This study contends that it is important to consider local perspectives on linkages of climate change to recurring natural hazards as these may provide acceptable approaches to adapting to and addressing increasing risks from climate change. Hence, drawing on Foucauldian theories on discourse and the work on social nature (Castree, 2005; Castree and Braun, 2001) this study analysed the social constructions of bushfire and climate change among pro-environmental Blue Mountains residents. The results of the study present strong evidence that individuals are merging science based knowledge with their lived experiences of place-based weather and landscape observations. The study participants shaped a dominant narrative that constructs bushfire as part of nature and life, but their practice in response to it was dependent on varied socio-economic and cultural backgrounds that in turn influenced their priorities for action. Overwhelmingly, the participants agreed that in the face of increasing bushfire risks, community engagement and mobilization would be the most practical and effective way to go. The findings indicate that communication on climate change needs to be context, culture and audience specific rather than abstract one-model-fits-all approaches. This study concludes that recognizing bushfire as a socio-ecological phenomenon, rather than simply a natural hazard, is an important step in developing appropriate locally-imbedded responses.

description: The observation of temporal dissipative Kerr solitons in optical microresonators provides, on the applied side, compact sources of coherent optical frequency combs that have already been applied in coherent communications, dual comb spectroscopy and metrology. On a fundamental level, it enables the study of soliton physics in driven nonlinear cavities. Microresonators are commonly multimode and, as a result, inter-mode interactions inherently occur among mode families - a condition referred to as "avoided mode crossings". Avoided mode crossings can cause soliton decay, but can also modify the soliton spectrum, leading to e.g. the formation of dispersive wave and inducing a spectral recoil. Yet, to date, the entailing temporal soliton dynamics from inter-mode interactions has rarely been studied, but is critical to understand regimes of soliton-stability. Here we report the discovery of an inter-mode breather soliton. Such breathing dynamics occurs within a laser detuning range where conventionally stationary dissipative solitons are expected. We demonstrate experimentally the phenomenon in two microresonator platforms (crystalline magnesium fluoride and photonic chip-based silicon nitride microresonators), and theoretically describe the dynamics based on a pair of coupled Lugiato-Lefever equations. We demonstrate experimentally that the breathing is associated with a periodic energy exchange between the soliton and another optical mode family. We further show that inter-mode interactions can be modeled by a response function acting on dissipative solitons. The observation of breathing dynamics in the conventionally stable soliton regime is critical to applications, ranging from low-noise microwave generation, frequency synthesis to spectroscopy. On a fundamental level, our results provide new understandings of the rich dissipative soliton dynamics in multimode nonlinear cavities.

description: We consider the task of verifying the correctness of quantum computation for a restricted class of circuits which contain at most two basis changes. This contains circuits giving rise to the second level of the Fourier Hierarchy, the lowest level for which there is an established quantum advantage. We show that, when the circuit has an outcome with probability at least the inverse of some polynomial in the circuit size, the outcome can be checked in polynomial time with bounded error by a completely classical verifier. This verification procedure is based on random sampling of computational paths and is only possible given knowledge of the likely outcome.

description: We estimate the possible accuracies of measurements at the proposed CLIC $e^+e^-$ collider of Higgs and $W^+W^-$ production at centre-of-mass energies up to 3TeV, incorporating also Higgsstrahlung projections at higher energies that had not been considered previously, and use them to explore the prospective CLIC sensitivities to decoupled new physics. We present the resulting constraints on the Wilson coefficients of dimension-6 operators in a model-independent approach based on the Standard Model effective field theory (SM EFT). The higher centre-of-mass energy of CLIC, compared to other projects such as the ILC and CEPC, gives it greater sensitivity to the coefficients of some of the operators we study. We find that CLIC Higgs measurements may be sensitive to new physics scales $Λ= \mathcal{O}(10)$TeV for individual operators, reduced to $\mathcal{O}(1)$ TeV sensitivity for a global fit marginalising over the coefficients of all contributing operators. We give some examples of the corresponding prospective constraints on specific scenarios for physics beyond the SM, including stop quarks and the dilaton/radion.

description: Brand gravity refers to the number of distinct product-relevant associations evoked by its exposure to the brand. The phrase 'distinct product-relevant associations' is an important aspect of brand gravity. In order to contribute to a brand's gravity, the associations that come to mind must be relevant for comparing and selecting alternatives from the specific product category in which that brand appears. Moreover, store brand (SB) associations are about the global retail brand (i.e., Coles or Woolworths), hence do not have gravity within any product category, whereas national brand (NB) associations are product category specific (e.g. Nescafe = coffee), and so create brand gravity. When two products have more shared than unique brand associations, they are perceived to be more similar when both are featured together compared to when they are evaluated separately. Conversely, when two alternatives have more unique than shared brand associations, they are perceived to be less similar when both are featured together compared to when they are evaluated separately. Due to differences in promotional budgets and product category breadth, NBs evoke more product-relevant associations than SBs (i.e. NBs have higher brand gravity than SBs). Hence, for SBs an efficient strategy for establishing multiple price points in a product category is to use different sub-brands under the same SB parent brand, because the multiple variants (i.e., line extensions) of the same SB "repel" one another to different price points. In other words, there is little or no attraction effect at the parent brand level, so the differences in the sub-brands produce a net repulsion effect. However, this tactic does not work for NBs. Since NBs evoke many product-relevant associations, multiple variants of the same NB "attract" one another to the same price point because they share so many associations at the parent brand level. Barring a substantial investment of time and money to create equity at the sub-brand level, the net effect of introducing multiple line extensions under the same NB will be attraction, hence it will be difficult to establish multiple price points in this way. Instead, it is necessary to introduce different parent NBs into the same product category to establish multiple price points.

description: The Kepler scientific workflow system enables creation, execution and sharing of workflows across a broad range of scientific and engineering disciplines while also facilitating remote and distributed execution of workflows. In this paper, we present and compare different approaches to distributed execution of workflows using the Kepler environment, including a distributed data-parallel framework using Hadoop and Stratosphere, and Cloud and Grid execution using Serpens, Nimrod/K and Globus actors. We also present real-life applications in computational chemistry, bioinformatics and computational physics to demonstrate the usage of different distributed computing capabilities of Kepler in executable workflows. We further analyze the differences of each approach and provide a guidance for their applications.
