description: The Ehrhart polynomial of a lattice polytope $P$ encodes information about the number of integer lattice points in positive integral dilates of $P$. The $h^\ast$-polynomial of $P$ is the numerator polynomial of the generating function of its Ehrhart polynomial. A zonotope is any projection of a higher dimensional cube. We give a combinatorial description of the $h^\ast$-polynomial of a lattice zonotope in terms of refined descent statistics of permutations and prove that the $h^\ast$-polynomial of every lattice zonotope has only real roots and therefore unimodal coefficients. Furthermore, we present a closed formula for the $h^\ast$-polynomial of a zonotope in matroidal terms which is analogous to a result by Stanley (1991) on the Ehrhart polynomial. Our results hold not only for $h^\ast$-polynomials but carry over to general combinatorial positive valuations. Moreover, we give a complete description of the convex hull of all $h^\ast$-polynomials of zonotopes in a given dimension: it is a simplicial cone spanned by refined Eulerian polynomials.

Exact Wave Packet Dynamics of Singlet Fission in Unsubstituted and Substituted Polyene Chains within Long-Range Interacting Models

description: Singlet fission (SF) is a potential pathway for significant enhancement of efficiency in organic solar cells (OSC). In this paper, we study singlet fission in a pair of polyene molecules in two different stacking arrangements employing exact many-body wave packet dynamics. In the non-interacting model, the SF yield is absent. The individual molecules are treated within Hubbard and Pariser-Parr-Pople (PPP) models and the interaction between them involves transfer terms, intersite electron repulsions and site-charge--bond-charge repulsion terms. Initial wave packet is constructed from excited singlet state of one molecule and ground state of the other. Time development of this wave packet under the influence of intermolecular interactions is followed within the Schrödinger picture by an efficient predictor-corrector scheme. In unsubstituted Hubbard and PPP chains, $2{}^1A$ excited singlet state leads to significant SF yield while the $1{}^1B$ state gives negligible fission yield. On substitution by donor-acceptor groups of moderate strength, the lowest excited state will have sufficient $2{}^1A$ character and hence results in significant SF yield. Because of rapid internal conversion, the nature of the lowest excited singlet will determine the SF contribution to OSC efficiency. Furthermore, we find the fission yield depends considerably on the stacking arrangement of the polyene molecules.

description: We consider the moduli space of log smooth pairs formed by a cubic surface and an anticanonical divisor. We describe all compactifications of this moduli space which are constructed using Geometric Invariant Theory and the anticanonical polarization. The construction depends on a weight on the divisor. For smaller weights the stable pairs consist of mildly singular surfaces and very singular divisors. Conversely, a larger weight allows more singular surfaces, but it restricts the singularities on the divisor. The one-dimensional space of stability conditions decomposes in a wall-chamber structure. We describe all the walls and relate their value to the worst singularities appearing in the compactification locus. Furthermore, we give a complete characterization of stable and polystable pairs in terms of their singularities for each of the compactifications considered.

Optimal Placement and Sizing of Distributed Battery Storage in Low Voltage Grids using Receding Horizon Control Strategies

description: In this paper we present a novel methodology for leveraging Receding Horizon Control (RHC), also known as Model Predictive Control (MPC) strategies for distributed battery storage in a planning problem using a Benders decomposition technique. Longer prediction horizons lead to better storage placement strategies but also higher computational complexity that can quickly become computationally prohibitive. The here proposed MPC strategy in conjunction with a Benders decomposition technique effectively reduces the computational complexity to a manageable level. We use the CIGRE low voltage (LV) benchmark grid as a case study for solving an optimal placement and sizing problem for different control strategies with different MPC prediction horizons. The objective of the MPC strategy is to maximize the photovoltaic (PV) utilization and minimize battery degradation in a local residential area, while satisfying all grid constraints. For this case study we show that the economic value of battery storage is higher when using MPC based storage control strategies than when using heuristic storage control strategies, because MPC strategies explicitly exploit the value of forecast information. The economic merit of this approach can be further increased by explicitly incorporating a battery degradation model in the MPC strategy.

In the face of a worldwide nursing shortage, nurse retention has become an increasingly important concern for management of health care organisations. The performance of emotional labour is integral to the work of many health care professionals. Although it has been suggested in the nursing literature that nurses emotional labour can be conducive to the delivery of patient care, there is also evidence to indicate that there is an adverse effect on employees’ well-being. Currently, there is a dearth of literature that investigates the link between emotional labour and perceived quality of care delivered and ultimately turnover intention. The contribution of team climate in the relationship between emotional labour and burnout is also not known. A cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted with self completed questionnaires. Participants were 201 registered nurses employed at a large metropolitan public health service in Victoria, Australia. The final structural equation model demonstrated that amongst the emotional labour components, faking has a significant negative influence on perceived quality of care whereas hiding predict burnout which in return causes an increase in turnover intention. Team climate was also found to be a potential moderator in the hiding and burnout relationship which eventually can influence turnover intention. These results demonstrated that the use of different strategy for performing emotional labour can have different implications on nurses’ well-being, perceived quality of care and turnover intention. The establishment of a strong team climate can be used as a practical way to help nurses manage the emotional demands of their role, promote their wellbeing and retention.

description: The Zamolodchikov $\mathcal{W}_3$-algebra $\mathcal{W}^c_3$ with central charge $c$ has full automorphism group $\mathbb{Z}_2$. It was conjectured in the physics literature over 20 years ago that the orbifold $(\mathcal{W}^c_3)^{\mathbb{Z}_2}$ is of type $\mathcal{W}(2,6,8,10,12)$ for generic values of $c$. We prove this conjecture for all $c \neq \frac{559 \pm 7 \sqrt{76657}}{95}$, and we show that for these two values, the orbifold is of type $\mathcal{W}(2,6,8,10,12,14)$. This paper is part of a larger program of studying orbifolds and cosets of vertex algebras that depend continuously on a parameter. Minimal strong generating sets for orbifolds and cosets are often easy to find for generic values of the parameter, but determining which values are generic is a difficult problem. In the example of $(\mathcal{W}^c_3)^{\mathbb{Z}_2}$, we solve this problem using tools from algebraic geometry.

description: This paper presents heavily grad-div and pressure jump stabilised, equal- and mixed-order discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods for non-isothermal incompressible flows based on the Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation. In this framework, the enthalpy-porosity model for multiphase flow in melting and solidification problems can be employed. By considering the differentially heated cavity and the melting of pure gallium in a rectangular enclosure, it is shown that both boundary layers and sharp moving interior layers can be handled naturally by the proposed class of non-conforming methods. Due to the stabilising effect of the grad-div term and the robustness of discontinuous Galerkin methods, it is possible to solve the underlying problems accurately on coarse, non-adapted meshes. The interaction of heavy grad-div stabilisation and discontinuous Galerkin methods significantly improves the mass conservation properties and the overall accuracy of the numerical scheme which is observed for the first time. Hence, it is inferred that stabilised discontinuous Galerkin methods are highly robust as well as computationally efficient numerical methods to deal with natural convection problems arising in incompressible computational thermo-fluid dynamics.

Special Values of Motivic $L$-Functions and Zeta-Polynomials for Symmetric Powers of Elliptic Curves

description: Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a pure motive over $\mathbb{Q}$ of odd weight $w\geq 3$, even rank $d\geq 2$, and global conductor $N$ whose $L$-function $L(s,\mathcal{M})$ coincides with the $L$-function of a self-dual algebraic tempered cuspidal symplectic representation of $\mathrm{GL}_{d}(\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Q}})$. We show that a certain polynomial which generates special values of $L(s,\mathcal{M})$ (including all of the critical values) has all of its zeros equidistributed on the unit circle, provided that $N$ or $w$ are sufficiently large with respect to $d$. These special values have arithmetic significance in the context of the Bloch-Kato conjecture. We focus on applications to symmetric powers of semistable elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$. Using the Rodriguez-Villegas transform, we use these results to construct large classes of "zeta-polynomials" (in the sense of Manin) arising from symmetric powers of semistable elliptic curves; these polynomials have a functional equation relating $s\mapsto 1-s$, and all of their zeros on the line $\operatorname{Re}(s)=1/2$.
Presentations of context-free shifts

This thesis is devoted to the study of presentations of shift spaces. The study of finite presentations of shift spaces was motivated by the study of sofic shifts. As the finiteness of a presentation implies that every bi-infinite sequence of a sofic shift is the label of some bi-infinite walk, it is natural to investigate labels of bi-infinite walks in countably infinite presentations of non-sofic shift spaces. Non-sofic shifts are not always presented completely by their follower set graphs. Thus, we introduce some variations of the notion of presentation: onesided weak presentation, one-sided strong presentation, two-sided weak presentation and two-sided strong presentation. Every bi-infinite sequence of a shift is the label of some bi-infinite walk in its two-sided strong presentation. Under these definitions, we prove the follower set graph of every shift space is a one-sided strong presentation. In particular, the follower set graph of every transitive shift space having a Markov magic word is a two-sided weak presentation. Also, every finite one-sided weak presentation of a sofic shift is a two-sided strong presentation; this is true for follower set graphs of sofic shifts. Context-free languages are the first generalisation of regular languages in the Chomsky hierarchy. We consider shifts with context-free languages - “contextfree shifts” as a generalisation of sofic shifts. Transition graphs of pushdown automata always give one-sided strong presentations for context-free shifts. We show a deterministic pushdown automaton gives a right-resolving one-sided strong presentation. Therefore, the follower set graph of a non-deterministic context-free shift is never isomorphic to the transition graph of a nondeterministic pushdown automaton. Bi-resolving presentations of sofic shifts are studied via reversible finite automata. We characterise properties of the language of a sofic shift having a bi-resolving presentation. We also investigate shifts with self-reverse languages.

description: This article focusses on the analysis of a conforming finite element method for the time-dependent incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. For divergence-free approximations, in a semi-discrete formulation, we prove error estimates for the velocity that hold independently of both pressure and Reynolds number. Here, a key aspect is the use of the discrete Stokes projection for the error splitting. Optionally, edge-stabilisation can be included in the case of dominant convection. Emphasising the importance of conservation properties, the theoretical results are complemented with numerical simulations of vortex dynamics and laminar boundary layer flows.

description: Quantum revival is described as the time-periodic reconstruction of a wave packet initially localized in space and time. This effect is expected in finite-size systems which exhibits commensurable discrete spectrum such as the infinite quantum well. Here, we report on the experimental observation of full and fractional quantum revival for classical waves in a two dimensional cavity. We consider flexural waves propagating in thin plates, as their quadratic dispersion at low frequencies mimics the dispersion relation of quantum systems governed by Schrödinger equation. Time-dependent excitation and measurement are performed at ultrasonic frequencies and reveal a periodic reconstruction of the initial elastic wave packet.

We obtain couplings so that the corresponding processes are interlaced and furthermore give formulae in terms of block determinants for the transition densities of these coupled processes. This allows us to build diffusion processes in the space of Gelfand-Tsetlin patterns so that the evolution of each level is Markovian. We show how known examples naturally fit into this framework and construct new processes related to minors of matrix valued diffusions. We also provide explicit formulae for the transition densities of the particle systems with one-sided collisions at either edge of such patterns.

description: In a broad class of complex materials a quench leads to a multi-scaled relaxation process known as aging. To explain its commonality and the astounding insensitivity to most microscopic details, record dynamics (RD) posits that a small set of increasingly rare and irreversible events, so called quakes, controls the dynamics. While key predictions of RD are known to concur with a number of experimental and simulational results, its basic assumption on the nature of quake statistics has proven extremely difficult to verify experimentally. The careful distinction of rare ("record") cage-breaking events from in-cage rattle accomplished in previous experiments on jammed colloids, enables us to extract the first direct experimental evidence for the fundamental hypothesis of RD that the rate of quakes decelerates with the inverse of the system age. The resulting description shows the predicted growth of the particle mean square displacement and of a mesoscopic lengthscale with the logarithm of time.

description: Why does air traffic control still rely on paper control strips? Is paper safer? This question has been dealt with before, and responses have pointed out that "paper has helped to shape work practices, and work practices have been designed around the use of paper" (Harper & Sellen 1995: 2). The present contribution tries to further specify these claims. At first, the use of paper as a medium of representation in the course of dealing with critical situations will be discussed. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork carried out in two European Upper Area Control centres, practices linked to the puzzling persistence of the paper strip are then captured along with different types of critical situations. Extending the observation of practices to meso- and macrolevels, it can be shown that paper strips are multiply embedded. They help to stabilise cycles of practices, the permanent reproduction of which is critical to air safety.

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the Mother and Child Health Research, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Faculty of Health Sciences, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

Objective: To investigate women’s sexual health in the 12 months after the birth of their first baby, with a view to expanding and clarifying current knowledge around the timing of resumption of vaginal sex; the natural history of postpartum dyspareunia and other sexual difficulties, and women’s experience of physical sexual pleasure and emotional satisfaction in their relationship. In addition, the association of social characteristics, obstetric factors and postnatal factors to sexual health is assessed. Design: Prospective pregnancy cohort study of nulliparous women. Sample: A total of 1507 nulliparous women recruited in early pregnancy (≤ 24 weeks). Method: Women were recruited from six metropolitan public hospitals in Melbourne, Australia. Included in analyses were data from women who completed all four questionnaires: early pregnancy, three, six and 12 months postpartum (n=1305). Descriptive data, univariable analyses and multivariable logistic models are presented throughout the thesis. Main outcome measures: Resumption of sexual activity and vaginal sex after childbirth, pain during sex (dyspareunia) on first vaginal sex and subsequent vaginal sex, pattern of pain during sex over time, other sexual difficulties (lack of interest in sex, lack of lubrication, difficulty reaching orgasm, vaginal tightness, vaginal looseness and bleeding or irritation after sex) and sexual pleasure. Results: Forty-one percent of women had resumed vaginal sex by six weeks postpartum, with 78% resuming by three months postpartum. Method of birth and perineal trauma were associated with delays in resumption. Eighty-five percent of women experienced dyspareunia during the first vaginal sex after childbirth. Almost half continued to experience dyspareunia on subsequent sex at three and six months postpartum, reducing to one in four by 12 months postpartum. Perineal trauma and method of birth were associated with dyspareunia. There was no evidence in multivariable analyses that caesarean birth was protective against postnatal dyspareunia. Sexual pleasure and emotional satisfaction were closely associated at all timepoints. Conclusions: Data from this thesis will highlight the postnatal sexual health issues women and their partners may face and should inform the care and preparation of women throughout their pregnancy and postnatally by midwives, obstetricians and general practitioners.

Subjects: EU maritime policies Commerce

description: This thesis covers Turkish and EU maritime policies for the passenger ferry industries. It concentrateso n the positioning of ferry operatorsi n the passengefre rry market in the Eastern Mediterranean. A general background to Turkey and to its maritime industry is drawn before developing a model. A positioning model is developed in a quantitative approach to this research. Furthermore, it is operationalised by using the Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) Technique within multivariate analysis. A specific programme, MDPREF, from the MDS(X) Series of MDS Programmes is used for the calculation and illustration of the analysis. The Positionso f the Turkish and EU passengerfe rry operatorsi n the EasternM editerranean are measured and identified, within the positioning model, by data and information from the operators, for 1994, that were received from questionnaires and data files. The data and information are based on the "7P"s of the service marketing mix, which are product, price, place,p romotion, people,p hysical evidencea nd process,s incep assengefre rry operationsa re widely considered to be services for people. The resultso f the analysisi ndicatet he positionso f the Turkish and EU passengefre rry market in the EasternM editerraneanw ith the Turkish and EU operatorsg rouping togethera t different places in the market place. An exception is made by one of the EU operators illustrating similarity with the Turkish operators by positioning its place close to them in the market place.I t was also discoveredt hat only the Greeko peratorsa ppeart o representt he EU because Greece is an EU country and there were no operators other than the Greeks in 1994.

description: Internal shocks between propagating plasma shells, originally ejected at different times with different velocities are believed to play a major role in dissipating the kinetic energy, thereby explaining the observed lightcurve and spectra in a large range of transient objects. Even if initially the colliding plasmas are cold, following the first collision the plasma shells are substantially heated, implying that in a scenario of multiple collisions, most collisions take place between plasmas of non-zero temperatures. Here, we calculate the dynamical properties of plasmas resulting from collision between arbitrarily hot plasma shells, moving at arbitrary speeds. We provide simple analytical expressions valid for both the ultra-relativistic and Newtonian velocities, for both hot and cold plasmas. We derive the minimum criteria required for the formation of the two-shock wave system, and show that in the relativistic limit, the minimum Lorentz factor is proportional to the square root of the ratio of the initial plasmas enthalpies. We provide basic scaling laws of synchrotron emission from both the forward and reverse shock waves, and show how these can be used to deduce the properties of the colliding shells. Finally, we discuss the implications of these results in the study of several astronomical transients, such as x-ray binaries, radio load quasars and gamma-ray bursts.

description: We explore the recently introduced modified Gauss-Bonnet gravity [1], $f(\mathcal{G},T)$ pragmatic with $\mathcal{G}$, the Gauss-Bonnet term, and ${T}$, the trace of the energy-momentum tensor. Noether symmetry approach has been used to develop some cosmologically viable $f(\mathcal{G},T)$ gravity models. The Noether equations of modified gravity are reported for flat FRW universe. Two specific models have been studied to determine the conserved quantities and exact solutions. In particular, the well known deSitter solution is reconstructed for some specific choice of $f(\mathcal{G},T)$ gravity model.

description: The method of flow tracing follows the power flow from net-generating sources through the network to the net-consuming sinks, which allows to assign the usage of the underlying transmission infrastructure to the system participants. This article presents a reformulation that is applicable to arbitrary compositions of inflow appearing naturally in models of large-scale electricity systems with a high share of renewable power generation. We propose an application which allows to associate power flows on the grid to specific regions or generation technologies, and emphasizes the capability of this technique to disentangle the spatio-temporal patterns of physical imports and exports occurring in such systems. The analytical potential of this method is showcased for a scenario based on the IEEE 118 bus network.

This study examines the introduction and conduct of an innovative peer group mentoring program in 2011 for high school principals in Hoa Binh province, North Vietnam. It was introduced in the context of dissatisfaction with current top down, centralised professional development programs unsuited to local needs. It was possible because of an opportunity to co-operate with the Hoa Binh Department of Education and Training (DoET) to innovate in the area of professional development for school leaders. The participants were a group of high school principals and some staff working in Hoa Binh DoET. Their perceptions were collected and analysed using multiple data collection instruments including observation, questionnaires, interviews, records of activities, report sheets and group evaluations. These perceptions were largely positive. The participants enumerated the advantages of group peer mentoring over other available approaches to professional development. My analysis of perceptions and behaviours during the program suggests several factors important for success in this program. These included: choosing the right mentors and mentees, having the right match between mentors and mentees, choosing the right materials, training the participants in preparation for the program, adapting teaching styles to adult learning principles and establishing strategies for monitoring and responding to participants’ changing needs and behaviours. The implications from this innovation suggest that peer mentoring might be a viable addition to current centralized training in Vietnam for school leaders and possibly teachers. It is not a substitute for centralised training as currently conceived, because its focus on local relevance, learner centeredness and andragogy restrict control of content and outcomes. Its strength lies in its use of available sources of local people and materials and its relevance to school-based problem solving. It can help local DoET and school leaders learn leadership theory more effectively through work-based practice, and build networks of school and community leaders for educational improvement.

description: The spinor-vector duality was discovered in free fermionic constructions of the heterotic-string in four dimensions. It played a key role in the construction of heterotic-string models with an anomaly free extra $Z^\prime$ symmetry that may remain unbroken down to low energy scales. A generic signature of the low scale string derived $Z^\prime$ model is via di-photon excess that may be within reach of the LHC. A fascinating possibility is that the spinor-vector duality symmetry is rooted in the structure of the heterotic-string compactifications to two dimensions. The two dimensional heterotic-string theories are in turn related to the so-called moonshine symmetries that underlie the two dimensional compactifications. In this paper we embark on exploration of this connection by the free fermionic formulation to classify the symmetries of the two dimensional heterotic-string theories. We use two complementary approaches in our classification. The first utilises a construction which is akin to the one used in the spinor-vector duality. Underlying this method is the triality property of $SO(8)$ representations. In the second approach we use the free fermionic tools to classify the twenty four dimensional Niemeier lattices.
