description: The small organisations non-profit sector stands to gain much from using Information Systems (IS), and IS evaluation represents an important field of research through identifying the root causes of IS failure. However there is a gap in research for IS in small non-profit organisations (NPOs). Information systems evaluation in small NPOs is of very high importance, as a failed project can threaten the continuation of the organisation. The Community Legal Centres (CLC) sector in Australia are a type of NPO, composed of small to medium size organisations. A project to implement a Customer Relationship Management system for use within the sector gained the interest of CLCs nationally and this project was the focus of the research presented here. The primary contribution of the resulting research is in the area of IS implementation in small NPOs, identifying pre-implementation environmental factors which affect the success of IS development, and evaluation. The findings were that individual experiences with technology in different organisations affected engagement, which in turn impacts successful implementation. In addition the findings support previous research which identifies factors creating inter-organisational collaboration among NPOs.

description: Plio-Pleistocene sediments exposed in the dissected hill country of the Lower Pohangina Valley and Manawatu Saddle provide a unique record of sedimentation adjacent to the actively uplifting main axial range, North Island, New Zealand. Located in the eastern Whanganui Basin, which has formed behind the active Hikurangi subduction zone, renowned for one of the most comprehensive Quaternary stratigraphic records in the world. The oldest beds in the succession, unconformably overlying Torlesse Group, comprise Mangapanian (3–2.4 Ma) very fine conglomerate, sandstone and mudstone of the Komako Formation. Subsequent deposition of Konewa Formation continued through to late Nukumaruan time (2.4–1.63 Ma), including large tracts of conglomerate now preserved across the Manawatu Saddle, clearly visible from the Saddle Road. Takapari Formation consists of early Castlecliffian (1.63–1 Ma) sediments characterised by a sudden influx of primary volcanic and reworked volcaniclastic material. Distinctive rhyolitic marker beds and molluscan bio-events provide a means of correlating and dating the succession from the Lower Pohangina Valley across the Whanganui Basin. We present the geology of the Lower Pohangina Valley on a 1:30,000 geological map, accompanying cross section and 3D model. A new stratigraphic framework is presented, integrating work in the Komako District, Pohangina Valley with Whanganui Basin stratigraphy through the application of tephrochronology and biostratigraphy. The Lower Pohangina Valley succession provides evidence for marine conditions prevailing across what is now part of the main axial range of New Zealand from c. 3 to 1.6 Ma. An influx of conglomerate, eroded from Torlesse Group, into the sedimentary record during early Nukumaruan time (2.4 Ma) is attributed to an early phase of tectonic uplift along the North Island Dextral Fault Belt (NIDFB), before closure of the ‘Manawatu Strait’ commenced in early Castlecliffian time (1.63 Ma).

description: We demonstrate the excitation of dark plasmon modes with linearly polarized light at normal incidence in self-assembled layers of gold nanoparticles. Because of field retardation, the incident light field induces plasmonic dipoles that are parallel within each layer but antiparallel between the layers, resulting in a vanishing net dipole moment. Using microabsorbance spectroscopy we measured a pronounced absorbance peak and reflectance dip at 1.5 eV for bi- and trilayers of gold nanoparticles with a diameter of 46 nm and 2 nm interparticle gap size. The excitations were identified as dark interlayer plasmons by finite-difference time-domain simulations. The dark plasmon modes are predicted to evolve into standing waves when further increasing the layer number, which leads to 90% transmittance of the incident light through the nanoparticle film. Our approach is easy to implement and paves the way for large-area coatings with tunable plasmon resonance.

Orbital-selective Mott phase in multiorbital models for iron pnictides and chalcogenides

description: There is increasing recognition that the multiorbital nature of the 3d electrons is important to the proper description of the electronic states in the normal state of the iron-based superconductors. Earlier studies of the pertinent multiorbital Hubbard models identified an orbital-selective Mott phase, which anchors the orbital-selective behavior seen in the overall phase diagram. An important characteristics of the models is that the orbitals are kinetically coupled -- i.e. hybridized -- to each other, which makes the orbital-selective Mott phase especially nontrivial. A U(1) slave-spin method was used to analyze the model with nonzero orbital-level splittings. Here we develop a Landau free-energy functional to shed further light on this issue. We put the microscopic analysis from the U(1) slave-spin approach in this perspective, and show that the intersite spin correlations are crucial to the renormalization of the bare hybridization amplitude towards zero and the concomitant realization of the orbital-selective Mott transition. Based on this insight, we discuss additional ways to study the orbital-selective Mott physics from a dynamical competition between the interorbital hybridization and collective spin correlations. Our results demonstrate the robustness of the orbital-selective Mott phase in the multiorbital models appropriate for the iron-based superconductors.

Romancing the virgin: female virginity loss and love in popular literatures in the West
Creators: name: McAlister, Jodi Ann
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis is a literary history which seeks to elucidate dominant Western cultural narratives around female virginity loss, and the ways these have evolved. It takes as its primary focus popular literatures authored by women, particularly popular romance fiction and autobiographical stories about virginity loss. The study of virginity has hitherto failed to meaningfully address the role played by romantic love in scripts for female sexual activity. Sex and love are clearly linked in twentieth century sexual history, leading to the emergence of a paradigm I term “compulsory demisexuality”. The development of this paradigm – which dictates that for women, sex and love are intrinsically linked together, and that sex without love is unnatural and harmful – has affected the way women think about sex. This is not a study of empirical data: rather, it is a study of stories, and the way their evolution has impacted cultural attitudes. I trace the way in which my texts interact with the paradigm of compulsory demisexuality – alternately upholding, supporting, resisting, and subverting it – and the ways this has changed over time. I contend that romantic love has been key in giving the virgin an active voice when it comes to her sex life, and has been vital in incorporating female pleasure back into sexual narratives. The emergence of compulsory demisexuality has created a space in which women can be free to explore their sexual desires, but it is a space with boundaries. There continues to be considerable cultural emphasis on the idea that virgins must receive the “right” (that is, appropriately romantic) messages about sex. This idea of “rightness” clearly implies female virginity can be lost “wrongly”. Ultimately, I argue that this is a pernicious discourse, and that the virgin needs to be reimagined as a critical, active sexual agent, capable of making sexual decisions which are neither right nor wrong, but simply hers.
Gender Role Attitudes in Germany, 1982-2016: An Age-Period-Cohort (APC) Analysis
Creators: name: Lois, Daniel
Publisher: name: Federal Institute for Population Research
Year: 2020
Subjects: APC analysis; Identification problem; Sexism; Gender role attitudes; German reunification

description: The present study investigates the change of gender role attitudes in Germany between 1982 and 2016. Nine waves of the German General Social Survey are used (N = 26,389). In contrast to previous trend studies, which largely ignore age effects, a mechanism-based age-period-cohort model (Winship/Harding 2008) is applied. It becomes clear that age, period and cohort independently have an impact on gender role ideology. Compared to earlier research, new insights concerning the shape of cohort effects come to light: Specific to traditional gender ideology in Western Germany, it is apparent that the trend towards increasingly egalitarian attitudes comes to a halt in men born around 1956 and later and in women born 1966. For Eastern Germany we observe that the cohort-specific trend towards liberalisation in younger cohorts either is diminishing or even tends to reverse. This pattern of effects mainly mirrors the phases of the feminist movement in Western Germany and the rise and decline of the German Democratic Republic, respectively.

Why was it that the Romans, during the last fifty years of the second century BC, departed from previous practice and began to establish a system of permanent courts (quaestiones perpetuae), rather than continuing with ad hoc proceedings?
Creators: name: Betts, Ian G.

description: This thesis addresses the overarching question of why the Romans began to adopt from 149 the structure of permanent tribunals by reviewing, initially the judicial procedures to which the Senate had recourse in the previous quarter century. The Senate looked to these procedures with limited success in its efforts to stem the ruthless depredations visited on peregrini by its generals and provincial governors. The discussion is taken up in chapter one and provides an introduction as to the reasons for the creation in 149 of the first permanent court, the quaestio de pecuniis repetundis. In this chapter the hypothesis is advanced that the purpose of the creation of the court was more than just the desire to allow allies and friends of the Roman people a right of restitution. Rather it had a diplomatic rationale,namely to maintain existing foreign relationships and to provide the opportunity for forging new accords. The continual involvement of the Romans in foreign wars far from home with consequent stretched supply lines dictated the need for strategic alliances. In the succeeding chapters, three to seven, each court and its enabling statute is individually considered. It is argued that whilst with some courts other reasons may also have existed the primary reason can be found in the desire of the Senate as the foreign relations organ of Rome to pursue the diplomatic rationale. Thus, for example, the separate criminal courts, de sicariis and de veneficiis were established to deal with the unsettled conditions prevailing in Rome after the destruction of Carthage. However, the attempt thereby to restore a semblance of law and order is also to be seen as intended to encourage peregrini to ventilate their rights in a Rome in which their personal safety was not at risk. In chapter eight it is contended that Sulla clearly accepted the permanent system. He did not seek to change it nor to consolidate or reconstitute the permanent courts. Rather he adopted a piecemeal approach in “tacking” on to existing enabling laws measures which made moderated adjustments.

description: The interplay between quantum fluctuations and disorder is investigated in a spin-glass model, in the presence of a uniform transverse field $Γ$, and a longitudinal random field following a Gaussian distribution with width $Δ$. The model is studied through the replica formalism. This study is motivated by experimental investigations on the LiHo$_x$Y$_{1-x}$F$_4$ compound, where the application of a transverse magnetic field yields rather intriguing effects, particularly related to the behavior of the nonlinear magnetic susceptibility $χ_3$, which have led to a considerable experimental and theoretical debate. We analyzed two situations, namely, $Δ$ and $Γ$ considered as independent, as well as these two quantities related as proposed recently by some authors. In both cases, a spin-glass phase transition is found at a temperature $T_f$; moreover, $T_f$ decreases by increasing $Γ$ towards a quantum critical point at zero temperature. The situation where $Δ$ and $Γ$ are related appears to reproduce better the experimental observations on the LiHo$_x$Y$_{1-x}$F$_4$ compound, with the theoretical results coinciding qualitatively with measurements of the nonlinear susceptibility. In this later case, by increasing $Γ$, $χ_3$ becomes progressively rounded, presenting a maximum at a temperature $T^*$ ($T^*>T_f$). Moreover, we also show that the random field is the main responsible for the smearing of the nonlinear susceptibility, acting significantly inside the paramagnetic phase, leading to two regimes delimited by the temperature $T^*$, one for $T_fT^*$. It is argued that the conventional paramagnetic state corresponds to $T>T^*$, whereas the temperature region $T_f

On the Relevance of Auditory-Based Gabor Features for Deep Learning in Automatic Speech Recognition

description: Previous studies support the idea of merging auditory-based Gabor features with deep learning architectures to achieve robust automatic speech recognition, however, the cause behind the gain of such combination is still unknown. We believe these representations provide the deep learning decoder with more discriminable cues. Our aim with this paper is to validate this hypothesis by performing experiments with three different recognition tasks (Aurora 4, CHiME 2 and CHiME 3) and assess the discriminability of the information encoded by Gabor filterbank features. Additionally, to identify the contribution of low, medium and high temporal modulation frequencies subsets of the Gabor filterbank were used as features (dubbed LTM, MTM and HTM respectively). With temporal modulation frequencies between 16 and 25 Hz, HTM consistently outperformed the remaining ones in every condition, highlighting the robustness of these representations against channel distortions, low signal-to-noise ratios and acoustically challenging real-life scenarios with relative improvements from 11 to 56% against a Mel-filterbank-DNN baseline. To explain the results, a measure of similarity between phoneme classes from DNN activations is proposed and linked to their acoustic properties. We find this measure to be consistent with the observed error rates and highlight specific differences on phoneme level to pinpoint the benefit of the proposed features.

description: With Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) data, we systematically study the cross-correlation and time lag in all spectral states of black hole X-ray binary (BHXB) XTE J1859+226 in detail during its entire 1999-2000 outburst that lasted for 166 days. Anti-correlations and positive correlations and their respective soft and hard X-ray lags are only detected in the first 100 days of the outburst when the luminosity is high. This suggests that the cross-correlations may be related to high luminosity. Positive correlations are detected in every state of XTE J1859+226, viz., hard state, hard-intermediate state (HIMS), soft-intermediate state (SIMS) and soft state. However, anti-correlations are only detected in HIMS and SIMS, anti-correlated hard lags are only detected in SIMS, while anti-correlated soft lags are detected in both HIMS and SIMS. Moreover, the ratio of the observations with anti-correlated soft lags to hard lags detected in XTE J1859+226 is significantly different from that in neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries (NS LMXBs). So far, anti-correlations are never detected in the soft state of BHXBs but detected in every branch or state of NS LMXBs. This may be due to the origin of soft seed photons in BHXBs is confined to the accretion disk and, for NS LMXBs, from both accretion disk and the surface of the NS. We notice that the timescale of anti-correlated time lags detected in XTE J1859+226 is similar with that of other BHXBs and NS LMXBs. We suggest that anti-correlated soft lag detected in BHXB may result from fluctuation in the accretion disk as well as NS LMXB.

description: The techno-functional properties of plant protein are often inferior to those of animal origin, mainly due to denaturation during extraction. They require improvement for easier incorporation into food products, and combinations with pectin were tested for this purpose. Coacervates, formed mainly by electrostatic interactions, and conjugates, formed by covalent binding, improved protein solubility around the isoelectric point, surface activity and emulsion and foam stability. Active (often hydrophobic) ingredients were encapsulated by conjugates or bilayers or within nanoparticles to stabilise them in a hydrophilic environment and to control their release. Coacervates were also able to mask the bitter taste of plant proteins by blocking electrostatic interactions with taste receptors, and fibrous compounds were prepared as meat replacers. Pectins were well suitable for many combinations with plant proteins in food systems owing to their variety of properties resulting from botanical origin or modification. The impact of pectin structure on the different interactions, however, has been studied only to a limited extent, and not all results were convincing. Additional work, using well defined and characterised pectin samples, is required for a better understanding of the interactions, aimed at an extended plant protein application for human nutrition.

description: In our grid of multiphase chemical evolution models (Mollá & Díaz, 2005), star formation in the disk occurs in two steps: first, molecular gas forms, and then stars are created by cloud-cloud collisions or interactions of massive stars with the surrounding molecular clouds. The formation of both molecular clouds and stars are treated through the use of free parameters we refer to as efficiencies. In this work we modify the formation of molecular clouds based on several new prescriptions existing in the literature, and we compare the results obtained for a chemical evolution model of the Milky Way Galaxy regarding the evolution of the Solar region, the radial structure of the Galactic disk, and the ratio between the diffuse and molecular components, HI/H$_2$. Our results show that the six prescriptions we have tested reproduce fairly consistent most of the observed trends, differing mostly in their predictions for the (poorly-constrained) outskirts of the Milky Way and the evolution in time of its radial structure. Among them, the model proposed by Ascasibar et al. (2017), where the conversion of diffuse gas into molecular clouds depends on the local stellar and gas densities as well as on the gas metallicity, seems to provide the best overall match to the observed data.

description: A general quantum thermodynamics network is composed of thermal devices connected to the environments through quantum wires. The coupling between the devices and the wires may introduce additional decay channels which modify the system performance with respect to the directly-coupled device. We analyze this effect in a quantum three-level device connected to a heat bath or to a work source through a two-level wire. The steady state heat currents are decomposed into the contributions of the set of simple circuits in the graph representing the master equation. Each circuit is associated with a mechanism in the device operation and the system performance can be described by a small number of circuit representatives of those mechanisms. Although in the limit of weak coupling between the device and the wire the new irreversible contributions can become small, they prevent the system from reaching the Carnot efficiency.

In disks around Herbig Ae stars ($T_{\mathrm{*}}\sim$ 10,000K, $M_{\mathrm{*}}\gtrsim$ 2.5$M_{\bigodot}$), the position of the H$_{2}$O snowline is further from the central star compared with that around cooler, and less massive T Tauri stars. Thus, the H$_{2}$O emission line fluxes from the region within the H$_{2}$O snowline are expected to be stronger. In this paper, we calculate the chemical composition of a Herbig Ae disk using chemical kinetics. Next, we calculate the H$_{2}$O emission line profiles, and investigate the properties of candidate water lines across a wide range of wavelengths (from mid-infrared to sub-millimeter) that can locate the position of the H$_{2}$O snowline. Those line identified have small Einstein $A$ coefficients ($\sim 10^{-6} -10^{-3}$ s$^{-1}$) and relatively high upper state energies ($\sim$ 1000K). The total fluxes tend to increase with decreasing wavelengths. We investigate the possibility of future observations (e.g., ALMA, SPICA/SMI-HRS) to locate the position of the H$_{2}$O snowline. Since the fluxes of those identified lines from Herbig Ae disks are stronger than those from T Tauri disks, the possibility of a successful detection is expected to increase for a Herbig Ae disk.

description: Objective: This paper investigates the potential of ensemble learning for variants of adjustment methods used in analogy-based effort estimation. The number k of analogies to be used is also investigated. Method We perform a large scale comparison study where many ensembles constructed from n out of 40 possible valid variants of adjustment methods are applied to eight datasets. The performance of each method was evaluated based on standardized accuracy and effect size. Results: The results have been subjected to statistical significance testing, and show reasonable significant improvements on the predictive performance where ensemble methods are applied. Conclusion: Our conclusions suggest that ensembles of adjustment methods can work well and achieve good performance, even though they are not always superior to single methods. We also recommend constructing ensembles from only linear adjustment methods, as they have shown better performance and were frequently ranked higher.

description: Stress-strain plots based on nanoindentation load-depth curves reflected cracking phenomenon. A transition from ductile to brittle fracture was observed on increasing the depth or load of indenter penetration. A new approach with shape factors in the fracture studies based on radial crack branching and micro-cracking was done. Hardness and modulus plots were fitted with polynomials. The coefficients were varied to obtain different hardness and modulus responses.

description: The Taurus-Auriga association and its associated molecular cloud are a benchmark population for studies of star and planet formation. The census of Taurus-Auriga has been assembled over seven decades and has inherited the biases, incompleteness, and systematic uncertainties of the input studies. The notably unusual shape of the inferred IMF and the existence of several isolated disk-bearing stars suggest that additional (likely disk-free) members might remain to be discovered. We therefore have begun a global reassessment of the membership of Taurus-Auriga that exploits new data and better definitions of youth and kinematic membership. As a first step, we reconsider the membership of all disk-free candidate members from the literature with spectral type $\ge$F0, $3^h50^m

description: A rigorous analytical study of the eigenmodes supported by a charge accumulation layer within a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) is presented. The new class of surface plasmons termed Accumulation-Layer Surface Plasmon (ASP) is introduced. Near resonance ASP are tightly bound and display a vast effective index tunability that could be of great practical interest. The suppression of ASP in the presence of epsilon-near zero regions is discussed.

description: Anisotropy in heavy-ion collisions leads to polarization of both direct and virtual photons, the latter detected via internal conversion to dileptons pairs. Thus measurement of photon polarization probes the anisotropy at all stages of collisions. In order to characterize the polarization of virtual photons, we derive here the general structure of the photon polarization operator, rho^(mu nu), in an anisotropic medium, in terms of the four spectral functions, two transverse and one longitudinal, as usual, plus a new spectral function that reflects anisotropy in asymmetric collisions; and derive the local production rate of dilepton pairs in terms of these four functions.

description: Proteins are biological polymers that underlie all cellular functions. The first high-resolution protein structures were determined by x-ray crystallography in the 1960s. Since then, there has been continued interest in understanding and predicting protein structure and stability. It is well-established that a large contribution to protein stability originates from the sequestration from solvent of hydrophobic residues in the protein core. How are such hydrophobic residues arranged in the core? And how can one best model the packing of these residues? Here we show that to properly model the packing of residues in protein cores it is essential that amino acids are represented by appropriately calibrated atom sizes, and that hydrogen atoms are explicitly included. We show that protein cores possess a packing fraction of $ϕ\approx 0.56$, which is significantly less than the typically quoted value of 0.74 obtained using the extended atom representation. We also compare the results for the packing of amino acids in protein cores to results obtained for jammed packings from disrete element simulations composed of spheres, elongated particles, and particles with bumpy surfaces. We show that amino acids in protein cores pack as densely as disordered jammed packings of particles with similar values for the aspect ratio and bumpiness as found for amino acids. Knowing the structural properties of protein cores is of both fundamental and practical importance. Practically, it enables the assessment of changes in the structure and stability of proteins arising from amino acid mutations (such as those identified as a result of the massive human genome sequencing efforts) and the design of new folded, stable proteins and protein-protein interactions with tunable specificity and affinity.
Pathological astrocyte morphology and dysregulated glutamate homeostasis in a preclinical phenotyping model of methamphetamine addiction

description: Methamphetamine (METH) remains one of the most abused illicit substances inAustralia with only 10-20% of METH-users developing METH-addiction. Glutamate homeostasis and astrocyte-mediated neuroinflammation may be responsible for addiction behaviours. Therefore, this study aimed to distinguish between the role of astrocyte hypertrophy and glutamate activity in the neurocircuitry of addiction-vulnerable, compared to addiction-resistant animals. The study employed an intravenous self-administration (IVSA)addiction-phenotyping paradigm. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 30) were scored on four addictive behaviours, cue-induced METH-seeking, motivation to take-METH, habitual METH-seeking and resistance-to-extinction to characterise rats as either addiction-vulnerable (AVul) or addiction-resistant(ARes). AVul, ARes and control (n = 5) rats then had their brains stained for calmodulin-kinase-II-alpha (CaMKIIa), glial-fibrillary acidic-protein (GFAP), and synapsin-I. Glutamate activity, astrocyte quantity and morphology, and relationship between astrocyte-synapse connections and glutamate activity, at each level of each region investigated, were then measured. Results revealed decreased glutamate activity in the nucleus accumbens core (NAcc), central amygdala (CeA) and basolateral amygdala (BLA) in AVul rats, compared to controls. There was no difference in astrocyte proliferation in AVul or ARes rats compared to controls, except for a decrease in the CeA of AVul rats. There was a widespread increase in astrocyte hypertrophy in AVul compared to ARes and control rats, with METH-induced hypertrophy, independent of phenotype. Correlational analyses suggested changes in glutamate homeostasis throughout addiction neurocircuitry. Findings from this study suggested dysregulation of glutamate homeostasis in the rostral NAcc and rostral-central BLA in AVul rats, regions involved in cue-induced relapse in humans and animals. Likewise, widespread astrocyte hypertrophy was found to be generally more severe in AVul, compared to ARes and control, rats. Therefore, it was posited that suppressed glial-glutamate release and increased neuroinflammatory mechanisms may be a factor in METH-addiction behaviours. These findings therefore highlight the potential of glutamatergic and astrocytic targets for relapse-prevention.

description: We report on the first comparison of distant caesium fountain primary frequency standards (PFSs) via an optical fiber link. The 1415 km long optical link connects two PFSs at LNE-SYRTE (Laboratoire National de métrologie et d'Essais - SYstème de Références Temps-Espace) in Paris (France) with two at PTB (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt) in Braunschweig (Germany). For a long time, these PFSs have been major contributors to accuracy of the International Atomic Time (TAI), with stated accuracies of around $3\times 10^{-16}$. They have also been the references for a number of absolute measurements of clock transition frequencies in various optical frequency standards in view of a future redefinition of the second. The phase coherent optical frequency transfer via a stabilized telecom fiber link enables far better resolution than any other means of frequency transfer based on satellite links. The agreement for each pair of distant fountains compared is well within the combined uncertainty of a few 10$^{-16}$ for all the comparisons, which fully supports the stated PFSs' uncertainties. The comparison also includes a rubidium fountain frequency standard participating in the steering of TAI and enables a new absolute determination of the $^{87}$Rb ground state hyperfine transition frequency with an uncertainty of $3.1\times 10^{-16}$. This paper is dedicated to the memory of André Clairon, who passed away on the 24$^{th}$ of December 2015, for his pioneering and long-lasting efforts in atomic fountains. He also pioneered optical links from as early as 1997.
