title: An international on-campus doctoral student's experiences at an Australian University during Covid-19

description: The Covid-19 global pandemic affected the whole world in profoundly negative ways, including distinctive effects on particular groups of people. One such group was international on-campus doctoral students in Australia, many of whom experienced significant disruption to their study, and some of whom experienced stress and trauma of various kinds. This thesis presents my autoethnographic account of the effects of Covid-19 on my life as an international on-campus doctoral student at an Australian university. The impact of Covid-19 on my life that I identify and analyse in this study had significant continuing effects on my family’s and my mental health and wellbeing. This impact also reflected some of the broader continuing effects of Covid-19 on the Australian economy and society, with this thesis being only one student’s account among many other thousands of international students in an equivalent situation. Conceptually, the study was informed by the interplay between two groups of concepts: (1) at the institutional level: among university social responsibility (USR), corporate social responsibility (CSR) and customer relationship management (CRM); and (2) at the individual level: among liminality, marginalisation and mental health. I argue that, if a university exhibits a healthy and sustainable connection among its USR, its CRM and its CSR, its students will be far less likely to experience liminality, and marginalisation and mental health concerns. By contrast, I argue that, in my own case and that of many other international on-campus doctoral students at Australian universities, our experiences of liminality and marginalisation resulted directly from an ineffective alignment between our respective universities and their USR, CRM and CSR functions. This negative outcome was intensified by the Australian federal and state governments’ policies related to Covid-19, whose effect was to exacerbate the marginalisation of individuals and groups experiencing liminality in Australian society, including international on-campus doctoral students.

description: The place of Brazilian writer Machado de Assis in the carnivalesque literary tradition has been alluded to by a number of critics, but the larger implications of this suggestion have not previously been interrogated in depth. This thesis utilises methods of traditional and creative research to illuminate hitherto unseen aspects of Machado’s poetics, as well as the carnivalesque literary genre and the circulation of that genre between core and periphery discourses. The second part of this thesis, the original novel, The True Geography of Solitary Stars, develops a poetics that draws deeply from the novels of Machado’s “mature” phase.

description: We propose a framework in which the QCD axion has an exponentially large coupling to photons, relying on the "clockwork" mechanism. We discuss the impact of present and future axion experiments on the parameter space of the model. In addition to the axion, the model predicts a large number of pseudo-scalars which can be light and observable at the LHC. In the most favorable scenario, axion Dark Matter will give a signal in multiple axion detection experiments and the pseudo-scalars will be discovered at the LHC, allowing to determine most of the parameters of the model.

This thesis investigated the economic and clinical impact of a Saturday inpatient rehabilitation service. A systematic review of inpatient rehabilitation (Chapter 2) concluded that compared to usual care inpatient rehabilitation, a more intensive model of inpatient rehabilitation may improve patient outcomes at a reduced cost. Therefore, a randomised controlled trial investigating the economic and clinical impact of additional Saturday inpatient rehabilitation (physiotherapy and occupational therapy), on a sample of 996 patients, was conducted with 30 day, 6 and 12 month follow up. The economic evaluation from admission to 30 days following discharge (Chapter 3) found a likely cost saving per admission to the health service (AUD$1,673; 95%CI -271 to 3,618), in addition to improved patient function and quality of life. The incremental cost effectiveness ratio showed a saving of AUD$41,825 (95%CI -2,817 to 74,620) per quality adjusted life year gained and a saving of AUD$16,003 (95%CI -3,074 to 87,361) in achieving a minimal clinically important difference in functional independence. The likely cost saving was largely attributed to the observed reduction in length of stay (-2.9 days; 95%CI -6.5 to 0.7). The economic evaluation from admission to 12 months following discharge (Chapter 4) was from a health system perspective inclusive of national insurer and health service administrative data, as well as informal care and private costs. There were sustained improvements in patient function and quality of life. Cost saving from admission to 6 months was AUD$6,445 (95%CI 3,368 to 9,522) and from admission to 12 months was xiii AUD$6,325 (95%CI -4,081 to 16,730) per admission. Saturday rehabilitation had no impact on return to work (Chapter 5). In summary, there is a high degree of certainty that providing additional Saturday inpatient rehabilitation is cost effective from both a health service and health system perspective.

Entanglement distance between quantum states and its implications for density-matrix-renormalization-group study of degenerate ground-states

description: We study the concept of entanglement distance between two quantum states which quantifies the amount of information shared between their reduced density matrices (RDMs). Using analytical arguments combined with density-matrix-renormalization-group (DMRG) and exact diagonalization (ED) calculations, we show that for gapless systems the entanglement distance has power law dependence on the energy separation and subsystem size with $α_E$ and $α_{\ell}$ exponents, respectively. Using conformal field theory (CFT) we find $α_E = 2$ and $α_{\ell} = 4$ for Abelian theories with $c=1$ such as free fermions. For non-Abelian CFTs $α_E = 0$ , and $α_{\ell}$ is twice the conformal dimension of the thermal primary fields. For instance for $Z_3$ parafermion CFT $α_E = 1$ and $α_{\ell} = 4/5$. For gapped 1+1D fermion systems, we show that the entanglement distance divides the low energy excitations into two branches with different values of $α_E$ and $α_{\ell}$. These two branches are related to momentum transfers near zero and $π$. We also demonstrate that the entanglement distance reaches its maximum for degenerate states related through nonlocal operators such as Wilson loops. For example, degenerate ground-states (GSs) of 2+1 D topological states have maximum entanglement distance. On the contrary, degenerate GSs related through confined anyon excitations such as genons have minimum entanglement distance. Various implications of this concept for quantum simulations are discussed. Finally, based on the ideas developed we discuss the computational complexity of DMRG algorithms that are capable of finding all degenerate GSs.

description: We introduce topological non-trivial colorful regions around intersection points of two perpendicular vortex pairs and investigate their influence on topological charge density and eigenmodes of the Dirac operator. With increasing distance between the vortices the eigenvalues of the lowest modes decrease. We show that the maxima and minima of the chiral densities of the low modes follow mainly the distributions of the topological charge densities. The topological non-trivial color structures lead in some low modes to distinct peaks in the chiral densities. The other low modes reflect the topological charge densities of the intersection points.

description: The statistical properties of infrequent particle displacements, greater than a certain distance, is known as jump dynamics in the context of structural glass formers. We generalize the concept of jump to the case of a spin glass, by dividing the system in small boxes, and considering infrequent cooperative spin flips in each box. Jumps defined this way share similarities with jumps in structural glasses. We perform numerical simulations for the 3D Edwards-Anderson model, and study how the properties of these jumps depend on the waiting time after a quench. Similar to the results for structural glasses, we find that while jump frequency depends strongly on time, jump duration and jump length are roughly stationary. At odds with some results reported on studies of structural glass formers, at long enough times, the rest time between jumps varies as the inverse of jump frequency. We give a possible explanation for this discrepancy. We also find that our results are qualitatively reproduced by a fully-connected trap model.

description: In the past years, magnetism-driven ferroelectricity and gigantic magnetoelectric effects have been reported for a number of frustrated magnets with spiral magnetic orders. Such materials are of high current interest due to their potential for spintronics and low-power magnetoelectric devices. However, their low magnetic order temperatures (typically <100K) greatly restrict their fields of application. Here we demonstrate that the stability domain of the spiral phase in the perovskite YBaCuFeO5 can be enlarged by more than 150K through a controlled manipulation of the Fe/Cu chemical disorder. Moreover we show that this novel mechanism can stabilize the magnetic spiral state of YBaCuFeO5 above the symbolic value of 25°C at zero magnetic field. Our findings demonstrate that the properties of a magnetic spiral, including its wavelength and stability range, can be engineered through the control of chemical disorder, offering a great potential for the design of materials with magnetoelectric properties beyond room temperature.

Effectiveness of orthotic devices in the treatment of Achilles tendinopathy

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science to the School of Allied Health, College of Science, Health and Engineering, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is a common source of pain and disability, being one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal lower limb conditions. Mid-portion AT is the most common type of AT and is characterised by pain localised to the posterior leg within the Achilles tendon, 2 to 6 cm proximal to the insertion on the posterior calcaneus. Achilles tendinopathy affects both athletic and sedentary populations. The aetiology of AT is likely to be multifactorial with intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors contributing to the development of the pathology 1. Non-surgical management is recommended for the initial management of AT. In addition to physical therapy such as calf muscle eccentric exercise and calf muscle stretching, orthotic devices such as foot orthoses, heel lifts, ankle joint dorsiflexion splints, ankle braces and strapping are recommended as second line options for mid-portion AT. However, at present there is little evidence available to support the use of orthotic devices for this condition. This thesis set out to investigate the effectiveness of orthotic devices for AT, with a focus on foot orthoses for mid-portion AT. The findings from the study conducted in this thesis will contribute to the knowledge of an intervention that is frequently recommended, however with little evidence. Therefore, the findings have the potential to improve treatment outcomes for people with AT and maximise the efficiency of health care expenditure of this condition Chapter 1 introduces the research problem and provides an overview of the aim and objectives of the thesis. Chapter 2 provides an overview of AT including anatomy of the Achilles tendon and associated structures, as well as the prevalence, pathophysiology, aetiology and management of mid-portion AT. This chapter reviews in detail the biomechanical risk factors for mid-portion AT and the use of calf muscle eccentricexercise and foot orthoses as interventions for this condition. Chapter 3 provides the results of a systematic review that helped define the research question for this thesis. The findings of this review support the rationale for the randomised controlled trial in Chapter 4. Chapter 4 presents the results of the randomised controlled trial that evaluated the effectiveness of customised foot orthoses for AT. Chapter 5 provides an overview of the literature review and studies conducted in this thesis and answers to the research questions posed.

description: Different kinematical regimes of semi-inclusive deeply inelastic scattering (SIDIS) processes correspond to different underlying partonic pictures, and it is important to understand the transition between them. This is particularly the case when there is sensitivity to intrinsic transverse momentum, in which case kinematical details can become especially important. We address the question of how to identify the current fragmentation region --- the kinematical regime where a factorization picture with fragmentation functions is appropriate. We distinguish this from soft and target fragmentation regimes. Our criteria are based on the kinematic regions used in derivations of factorization theorems. We argue that, when hard scales are of order a few GeVs, there is likely significant overlap between different rapidity regions that are normally understood to be distinct. We thus comment on the need to take this into account with more unified descriptions of SIDIS, which should span all rapidities for the produced hadron. Finally, we propose general criteria for estimating the proximity to the current region at large Q.

description: This paper will provide an overview of developments in the UK being carried out as part of the eLib (Electronic Libraries) programme (http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/services/elib/). Launched in 1994, this programme has supported a number of projects in university institutions which have aimed to develop technologies for the electronic library. It has also funded a number of supporting studies and raining and awareness activities which have helped to promote and evaluate uses of the electronic library in the UK. One of the major issues arising from the initial phases of eLib is that of integration. It has become clear that many electronic systems and services are being implemented in libraries as separate developments. Users now have to cope with a wide range of different formats of information materials with many different access methods and different interfaces. The concept of the Hybrid Library has been developed to attempt to answer these problems. The Hybrid Library aims to create a more integrated information environment for users by bringing together varieties of different sources so that they can be accessed seamlessly. It should include resources which are printed and electronic, local and remote. This paper will describe some of the developments in this area being carried out as part of the latest phase of eLib. Major issues being investigated include user authentication, metadata management, interconnectivity, digital imaging and preservation, user issues, and organisational issues.

description: The absence, so far, of any graviton signatures at the LHC imposes severe constraints on the Randall-Sundrum scenario. Although a generalization to higher dimensions with nested warpings has been shown to avoid these constraints, apart from incorporating several other phenomenologically interesting features, moduli stabilization in such models has been an open question. We demonstrate here how both the moduli involved can be stabilized, employing slightly different mechanisms for the two branches of the theory. This also offers a dynamical mechanism to generate and stabilize the scale for the Universal Extra Dimensions, another long-standing issue.

description: X-ray diffraction was employed to study the evolution of the charge density wave (CDW) in CuxTiSe2 as a function of copper intercalation in order to clarify the relationship between the CDW and superconductivity. The results show a CDW incommensuration arising at an intercalation value coincident with the onset of superconductivity at around x=0.055(5). Additionally, it was found that the charge density wave persists to higher intercalant concentrations than previously assumed, demonstrating that the CDW does not terminate inside the superconducting dome. A charge density wave peak was observed in samples up to x=0.091(6), the highest copper concentration examined in this study. The phase diagram established in this work suggests that charge density wave incommensuration may play a role in the formation of the superconducting state.

We also classify the structure of obstructions at the thresholds of the essential spectrum as being composed of a two dimensional space of resonances and finitely many eigenfunctions. We show that, as in the case of the Schrödinger evolution, the presence of a threshold obstruction generically leads to a loss of the natural $t^{-\frac32}$ decay rate. In this case we show that the solution operator is composed of a finite rank operator that decays at the rate $t^{-\frac12}$ plus a term that decays at the rate $t^{-\frac32}$.

description: Recent advances in light microscopy have enabled single molecules to be imaged and tracked within living cells and this approach is impacting our understanding of cell biology. Computer modeling and simulation are important adjuncts to the experimental cycle since they aid interpretation of experimental results and help refine, test and generate hypotheses. Object-oriented computer modeling is particularly well-suited for simulating random, thermal, movements of individual molecules as they interact with other molecules and subcellular structures, but current models are often limited to idealized systems consisting of unit volumes or planar surfaces. Here, a simulation tool is described that combines a 3-dimensional, voxelated, representation of the cell consisting of subcellular structures (e.g. nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, cytoskeleton, vesicles, and filopodia) combined with numerical floating-point precision simulation of thousands of individual molecules moving and interacting within the 3-dimensional space. Simulations produce realistic time-series video sequences comprising single fluorophore intensities and realistic background noise which can be directly compared to experimental fluorescence video microscopy data sets.
Matrix Formalism of Excursion Set Theory: A new approach to statistics of dark matter halo counting

description: Excursion set theory (EST) is an analytical framework to study the large-scale structure of the Universe. EST introduces a procedure to calculate the number density of structures by relating the cosmological linear perturbation theory to the nonlinear structures in late time. In this work, we introduce a novel approach to reformulate the EST in matrix formalism. We propose that the matrix representation of EST will facilitate the calculations in this framework. The method is to discretize the two-dimensional plane of variance and density contrast of EST, where the trajectories for each point in the Universe lived there. The probability of having a density contrast in a chosen variance is represented by a probability ket. Naturally, the concept of the transition matrix pops up to define the trajectories. We also define the probability transition rate which is used to obtain the first up-crossing of trajectories and the number count of the structures. In this work we show that the discretization let us study the non-Markov processes by forcing them to look like a Wiener process. Also we discuss that the zero drift processes with Gaussian and also non-Gaussian initial conditions can be studied by this formalism. The continuous limit of the formalism is discussed, and the known Fokker-Planck dispersion equation is recovered. Finally we show that the probability of the most massive progenitors can be extracted in this framework.

Total correlations of the diagonal ensemble as a generic indicator for ergodicity breaking in quantum systems

description: The diagonal ensemble is the infinite time average of a quantum state following unitary dynamics. In analogy to the time average of a classical phase space dynamics, it is intimately related to the ergodic properties of the quantum system giving information on the spreading of the initial state in the eigenstates of the Hamiltonian. In this work we apply a concept from quantum information, known as total correlations, to the diagonal ensemble. Forming an upper-bound on the multipartite entanglement, it quantifies the combination of both classical and quantum correlations in a mixed state. We generalize the total correlations of the diagonal ensemble to more general $α$-Renyi entropies and focus on the the cases $α=1$ and $α=2$ with further numerical extensions in mind. Here we show that the total correlations of the diagonal ensemble is a generic indicator of ergodicity breaking, displaying a sub-extensive behaviour when the system is ergodic. We demonstrate this by investigating its scaling in a range of spin chain models focusing not only on the cases of integrability breaking but also emphasize its role in understanding the transition from an ergodic to a many body localized phase in systems with disorder or quasi-periodicity.

Eulichas funebris

description: The Eulichas funebris species complex
The species complex contains five species from, more or less, the Palaearctic-Oriental transitional zone area. Their characteristics agree without exception with the definition of the group: pronotum distinctly transverse with sides regularly rounded in basal half; last antennomere enlarged (the prolonged thin last antennomere of E. tenuicornis is considered as a secondary modification); parameres simple, with distinct subbasal and subapical hooks.

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, College of Arts, Social Science, and Commerce, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

This thesis was a recipient of the Nancy Millis Award for theses of exceptional merit.

This thesis addresses aspects of the Western reception of Tibetan Buddhism, and some of the factors at play in modern re-interpretations of traditional Tibetan doctrines and practices. It takes account of recent scholarship and explores the model of “Buddhist modernism” proposed by David McMahan and others. This thesis sketches the religious matrix of pre-modern Tibet and the historical encounter between Tibet and the West before considering McMahan's thesis in some detail. Attention then turns to two Europeans who travelled extensively in Tibet before the Chinese invasion: Marco Pallis and Lama Anagarika Govinda, each of whom became committed Buddhist practitioners. Both had wide-ranging experience of pre-modern Tibet but came to strikingly different interpretations of Tibetan Buddhist doctrine and practice in the modern world. This thesis argues that while Govinda greatly contributed to the popularisation of Tibetan Buddhism in the West, Pallis’ comparatively neglected work is more valuable because it provides a necessary corrective to some of the more extreme manifestations of Buddhist modernism.
Walter Burley Griffin—philosophy and design themes: correspondences to early modern German aesthetic theory, art and architecture
Creators: name: Coronel, Danielle Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis concerns the philosophy and designs of Walter Burley Griffin, a Chicago architect who practised in Australia from 1914 to 1935. It seeks to address an omission in the literature on Griffin regarding consideration of Modernist correspondences in his design philosophy and works pointing to possible influence, which has been overlooked in the existing literature on Griffin’s aesthetic philosophy and designs.
 To approach the topic, the thesis firstly establishes a theoretical foundation in recognising two particular themes in Griffin’s architectural philosophy: his ideas on the architect’s inspiration derived from nature; and his purpose for architecture in modern society. The thesis considers parallels to early Modernist aesthetic theory and designs, focusing on German manifestations as early pioneers of Modernism. To establish points of comparison to early Modernism, key contributions from the aesthetic theorist Wilhelm Worringer, the philosopher Rudolf Steiner and the artist Wassily Kandinsky are considered, among others.
 The thesis then examines a selection of Griffin’s designs in detail. This discussion is divided into two parts. Part 1 focuses on two particular designs of Griffin’s: Newman College and the Capitol Theatre, and examines the ideas expressed therein. Regarding Newman College, it considers Modernist parallels in the expression of Gothic references, Griffin’s two essential design principles of spaciousness and unity, and his intention to practise social influence through design. Regarding the Capitol Theatre, the thesis considers correspondences to early Modernist theatre design and performance. Part 2 considers Griffin’s crystalline form language as a theme evident in works throughout his Australian career and draws parallels to the crystalline form language of early Modernist designs. The thesis evaluates Griffin’s architecture and ideas in the context of early Modernist ideas and related designs, and suggests that a recognisable affinity is revealed in his engagement with similar ideas and aesthetic goals.

description: A ternary ring of operators (TRO) in finite dimensions is a diagonal sum of spaces of rectangular matrices. TRO as operator space corresponds to quantum channels that are diagonal sums of partial traces, which we call TRO channels. TRO channels admits simple, single-letter capacity formula. Using operator space and complex interpolation techniques, we give perturbative capacities estimates for a wider class of quantum channels by comparison to TRO channels. Our estimates applies mainly for quantum and private capacity and also strong converse rates. The examples includes random unitary from group representations which in general are non-degradable channels.

Child asthma readmission is a useful indicator of asthma morbidity. Hospitalization time trends provide a longitudinal view of child asthma morbidity and can provide in depth understanding of changes in asthma aetiology and/or prognosis. Asthma has important environmental risk factors and therefore examining hospitalization seasonal trends presents an indirect but important marker for assessing the impact of environmental exposures on asthma morbidity. The indoor environment is a significant risk factor for child asthma development and exacerbations especially as Western societies may spend 90 percent of their time indoors. Very little is known in Australia about child asthma readmissions in regards to their time trends, seasonality and associations with the indoor environment. This thesis contributes knowledge on these aspects of asthma morbidity. For all child asthma hospital admissions between fiscal years1997 and 2009 in Victoria, Australia, time trends and seasonality, including pollen season, were examined and their associations with age and sex assessed. Daily readmissions were modelled as a count time series. Admissions had reduced over time, however readmissions within 28 days had initially decreased and then increased from about 2002 to 2009 to reach their highest rates ever reported. Seasonality had a strong impact on admissions and readmissions and was modulated by age and sex. The model was used to predict readmission frequencies one year into the future and showed increasing frequencies especially for young boys. This model’s predictive capacity is novel and may prove helpful for health service planning and clinical management. To examine the role of the indoor environment and lifestyle factors in readmissions, indoor factors were measured in the homes of 44 children previously hospitalized for asthma and a questionnaire administered. Increasing levels of airborne yeast in the children’s bedrooms and increased frequency of vacuuming were associated with increased risk of readmission within 28 days. Respective odds ratios and 95 percent confidence intervals were 1.82 (1.04, 3.18) and 22.2 (3.17, 156.10). Collectively these results underscore the importance of the environment both outdoor and indoor, particularly in children’s bedrooms, for asthma morbidity and provide possible avenues for improving management to reduce the likelihood of asthma exacerbations.

The on line determination of mercury in process streams using atomic spectrometry
Creators: name: BRAHMA, NOEL KUMAR
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth

description: On-line systems for monitoring mercury in liquid and gaseous production and waste streams have been developed, utilising atomic fluorescence spectrometry (AFS) as the basis for detection. Instrumentation has been designed for unattended continuous operation. Laboratory chemistries for the vapour generation of mercury, normally performed off-line in batch mode, have been adapted and optimised for continuous, flow-injection analysis for varying sample types and chemical forms of mercury. The system has typical analysis cycle of 7 minutes, a limit of detection of 10 pg ml ˉ¹ a linear range up to 100 µg ml ˉ¹ and has been applied in industrial environments for the continuous monitoring of mercury in incineration wastewater and sulphuric acid. The system was validated by on-site trials for periods of one week, during which time comparative off-line laboratory measurements showed good agreement. An automated system for monitoring mercury in natural gas streams has also been developed and validated by laboratory and on-site industrial trials. A heated pressure let-down system was designed in order to facilitate sampling of high-pressure gas streams without condensation of heavier fractions. The heated sampling line was interfaced with an automated system for trapping mercury, from variable volumes of gas, onto gold amalgamation traps, with subsequent desorbtion and analysis by AFS. The method detection limit for a 58 litre sample of natural gas was 30 pg m ˉ³ which was sufficient to determine residual mercury in natural gas streams even after mercury scrubbing had been performed. The system was validated by laboratory trials and spiking experiments during on-site trials at a gas processing facility, which resulted in complete installation and commissioning.
