description: Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit der Identifikation aktueller Gesundheits- und Wellnesstrends des Luxusreisemarktes, welche insbesondere postpandemisch an Bedeutung gewinnen. Ziel ist eine Maßnahmenableitung für deutsche Reiseanbieter am Beispiel reisetopias. Grundlage für die Forschung bildet eine Onlinerecherche von Luxusunterkünften und Anbietern, welche mithilfe von Experten eingegrenzt wurden. Die wichtigste Erkenntnis zeigt einen Trend zu Gesundheits- und Wellnessresorts, die holistische Angebote bieten, die Exklusivität, personifizierte Erlebnisse und Wohlbefinden auf mehreren Ebenen vermitteln. Es gibt eine Tendenz zur Ergänzung moderner medizinischer Behandlungen durch traditionelle Therapien wie Ayurveda oder TCM. Beliebte Destinationen sind Südasien, West- bzw. Südeuropa, die arabische Halbinsel sowie ausgewählte tropische Inseln. Unter den relevanten Hotelketten finden sich Six Senses, COMO und Soneva wieder. Den größten internationalen Luxushotelketten wie Hyatt oder Sofitel gelingt dieser individualisierbare und ganzheitliche Angebotsrahmen nicht. Als unabhängiges Wellnessresort gilt das Kamalaya Koh Samui als Vorreiter, gefolgt vom Ananda im Himalaya und der SHA Wellness Clinic in Spanien. Für deutsche Reiseanbieter ist somit eine Kooperation mit diesen Resorts empfehlenswert sowie eine Ausrichtung auf die genannten Destinationen. Reisetopia sollte sein Portfolio dementsprechend ergänzen. Aufgrund des auf Treueprogrammen basierenden Geschäftskonzepts ist in jenem Fall die Zusammenarbeit mit standardisierten Luxushotelketten allerdings nicht zu vernachlässigen.

description: The study of flow of non-Newtonian fluids in porous media is very important and serves a wide variety of practical applications in processes such as enhanced oil recovery from underground reservoirs, filtration of polymer solutions and soil remediation through the removal of liquid pollutants. These fluids occur in diverse natural and synthetic forms and can be regarded as the rule rather than the exception. They show very complex strain and time dependent behavior and may have initial yield stress. Their common feature is that they do not obey the simple Newtonian relation of proportionality between stress and rate of deformation. Non-Newtonian fluids are generally classified into three main categories: time-independent whose strain rate solely depends on the instantaneous stress, time-dependent whose strain rate is a function of both magnitude and duration of the applied stress and viscoelastic which shows partial elastic recovery on removal of the deforming stress and usually demonstrates both time and strain dependency. In this article, the key aspects of these fluids are reviewed with particular emphasis on single phase flow through porous media. The four main approaches for describing the flow in porous media are examined and assessed. These are: continuum models, bundle of tubes models, numerical methods and pore-scale network modeling.

description: In Australia, pharmacists have traditionally been involved with vaccine education, advocacy and distribution. An emerging role for pharmacists in Australia is the administration of vaccines. Consequently it is appropriate that undergraduate curricula evolve simultaneously to ensure graduate preparedness. A comprehensive vaccination training program was designed and developed by the author after detailed study and mapping of existing programs in Australia and overseas. The intended program was then validated through the use of four focus groups, which were conducted by the author in three countries (Australia, The United States of America and Sri Lanka) to verify the appropriateness and reliability of the developed program. The program, featuring nested injection skills training was piloted in 2015. It was delivered to pharmacy students in Australia and Sri Lanka and competency was assessed by established vaccinators, using validated Objective Structured Clinical Assessments (OSCA). Student knowledge of theory was assessed utilizing multiple choice questionnaires. For comparison, pharmacy students in the United States of America completing their established program undertook identical assessment. The applied content of the vaccination training program was delivered to fourth year students and first year students enabling comparison of understanding. The developed program allowed Australian students to demonstrate comparable skill competency and appropriate knowledge, to that of the USA students completing an established injection skill and vaccination training program. There is a perceived value in early introduction of injection skills training. The developed training program validated by established vaccinators and academics nationally and internationally, may be adopted by pharmacy schools in Australia and overseas.

description: D10Z Geometries provide a mathematical and visual framework for modeling complex systems, quantum resonances, and multidimensional topologies, building on GM10-51 and D10Z Mathematics. GM10-51 introduces the scale Zn=10−51 mZ_n = 10^{-51} \, \text{m}Zn=10−51m, where cosmic filaments form a "Flower of Life" geometry, supported by empirical data (R2>0.97R^2 > 0.97R2>0.97). Using vigesimal hierarchies and the golden ratio (ϕ=1.618\phi = 1.618ϕ=1.618), this framework models energy interactions, fractal patterns, and toroidal spaces. Applications span energy simulations, quantum cryptography, and cosmological modeling, with visualizations like spirals and fractal trees enhancing data analysis and system design.

description: Nine experiments were conducted on the tropical northern Australian freshwater eel-tailed catfish (Neosilurus ater) to investigate (a) the lipid content and fatty acid profile of the lipids in adult and juvenile catfish, (b) seasonal changes in the physical and chemical characteristics o f the liver and ovary, and the lipid content and fatty acid composition of eggs and larvae, and (c) larval rearing of catfish with Artemia nauplii, formulated and/or zooplankton diets. The baseline total lipids o f the muscle tissues o f w ild adult eel-tailed catfish were significantly higher than those in juveniles. The m ajor fatty acids in the lipids of adult muscle tissues were 16:0, 18:0 and 18:ln-9, and the main PUFAs were 20:4n-6 and 22:6n-3. The distribution o f total lipids and some fatty acids in the body of adult catfish were not homogenous but dependent on the horizontal location o f the body. The total lipids of whole fry and muscles of fingerlings were not significantly different and the major fatty acids (16:0, 18:0, 18:ln-9) in the fry and muscles of fingerlings were also similar. The levels o f 20:5n-3 and 22:5n-3 were higher in the fry and smaller stages o f fingerlings. The resting period and the period of rapid gametogenesis were M arch to October and November to December, respectively. The total lipid o f the ovary can be used as an indicator o f gametogenesis. The levels o f 18:0, 20:5n-3 and 22:6n-3 increased in the liver and ovary just prior to and during gametogenesis. During larval development, saturated and monounsaturated fatty acid (16:0 and 18:ln-9) levels decreased while levels o f PUFAs (20:4n-6 and 22:6n-3) increased. Feeding of catfish larvae with Artemia nauplii should not be delayed beyond 3-4 days after hatching to avoid high mortality. During delayed feeding of larvae, PUFA especially 22:6n-3 increased but total lipids and monounsaturated fatty acid levels decreased. Enrichment o f Artemia nauplii with cod liver oil or com oil prior to feeding them to catfish larvae was a successful strategy since the postlarvae had higher survival and growth. Finely ground barramundi pellets were not required during the first 15 days o f larval rearing in a green-water system and in the absence of prepared feeds, the larvae accumulated higher amounts o f PUFA especially 22:6n-3.

description: Modeling the flow of non-Newtonian fluids in porous media is a challenging subject. Several approaches have been proposed to tackle this problem. These include continuum models, numerical methods, and pore-scale network modeling. The latter proved to be more successful and realistic than the rest. The reason is that it captures the essential features of the flow and porous media using modest computational resources and viable modeling strategies. In this article we present pore-scale network modeling techniques for simulating non-Newtonian flow in porous media. These techniques are partially validated by theoretical analysis and comparison to experimental data.

description: Research highlights that same-sex attracted and gender diverse young people (SSAGD) are at significantly greater risk of mental ill-health than their cisgender peers. This is largely due to discrimination, bullying and prejudice based on homophobia and transphobia they experience on a daily basis in families, in schools, at work, in the health care system, in sports, and in the broader community more generally (Robinson, Bansel, Denson Robinson, Ovenden & Davies, 2013; Beyond Blue, 2014; Smith, Jones, Ward et.al, 2014; Byron, Rasmussen, Toussaint et.al, 2016; Strauss, Cook, Winter et.al, 2017; Kang, Robards, Luscombe, Sanci, Hawke, Steinbeck, Jan, Kong, Usherwood, 2018). This pilot study, conducted with same-sex attracted and gender diverse young people (SSAGD) aged 17-21 in NSW was conducted in order to contribute to positively addressing the increased inclusion of SSAGD young people in sport and physical activities. Young SSAGD people in this research expressed a strong desire to participate in sport and physical exercise, and an awareness of the benefits, however most had experienced numerous forms of discrimination in sport and exercise, especially in PE at school. It is critical that steps are taken to address the violence and discrimination that SSAGD young people experience in sport and exercise environments, including tackling homophobia, biphobia, transphobia and heterosexism. The sporting sector can help make a difference to the health and wellbeing of SSAGD young people by providing equitable and safe access for every young person, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. If young people have positive and affirming experiences in exercise, sport and PE, this can lead to healthy lifelong habits around sport and exercise, and can inspire a new generation of people to play sport.

description: A Titanium alloy sample (# 6246) containing a linear friction weld (LFW) has been imaged non-destructively using Tomographic Energy Dispersive Diffraction Imaging (TEDDI). The diffraction patterns measured at each point of the TEDDI image were able to identify the material and phases present (5%). The image also showed the preferred orientation (PO) and size-strain distribution present within the sample without the need for any further sample preparation. The preferred orientation was observed in clusters with average dimensions very similar to that of experimental spatial resolution (400 μm). The length scales and PO distributions were consistent with Orientating Imaging Microscopy (OIM) measurements made by Szczepanski et al. (2008) where the microstructure development was linked to the grain growth of the parent material. The use of a high energy X-ray distribution (30-80 keV) in the incident beam reduced systematic errors due to the source profile, sample and air absorption. The TEDDI data from each voxel were reduced to an angle dispersive form and Rietveld refined to a mean 2 of 1.4. The mean lattice parameter error (d/d) ranged from ~10-4 for the highly crystalline regions to ~10-3 for regions of very strong PO and internal strain. The March-Dollase PO errors refined to an average value of 2%. A 100% correlation between observed fluorescence and diffraction peak broadening was observed providing further evidence for vicinal strain broadening.

description: Yield-stress is a problematic and controversial non-Newtonian flow phenomenon. In this article, we investigate the flow of yield-stress substances through porous media within the framework of pore-scale network modelling.We also investigate the validity of the Minimum Threshold Path (MTP) algorithms to predict the pressure yield point of a network depicting random or regular porous media. Percolation theory as a basis for predicting the yield point of a network is briefly presented and assessed. In the course of this study, a yield stress flow simulation model alongside several numerical algorithms related to yield-stress in porous media were developed, implemented and assessed. The general conclusion is that modelling the flow of yield-stress fluids in porous media is too difficult and problematic. More fundamental modelling strategies are required to tackle this problem in the future.

description: A comprehensive, calculated line list of frequencies and transition probabilities for the singly deuterated isotopologue of H3+ , H2D+, is presented. The line list, called ST1, contains over 22 million rotational-vibrational transitions occurring between more than 33 thousand energy levels; it covers frequencies up to 18 500 cm−1. All energy levels with rotational quantum number, J, up to 20 are considered, making the line list useful for temperatures up to at least 3000 K. About 15 per cent of these levels are fully assigned with approximate rotational and vibrational quantum numbers. The list is calculated using a previously proposed, high accuracy, ab initio model and consistency checks are carried out to test and validate the results. These checks confirm the accuracy of the list. A temperature-dependent partition function, valid over a more extended temperature range than those previously published, and cooling function are presented. Temperature-dependent synthetic spectra in the frequency range 0-10000 cm-1 are also given.

description: In this article we report the release of a new program for calculating emissivity and other physical parameters in atomic transition processes. The program, which can be downloaded with its documentation and a sample of input and output files from www.scienceware.net/id1.html, passed various rigorous tests and was used alongside R-matrix and Autostructure codes to generate theoretical data and analyze observational data. It is particularly useful for investigating atomic transition lines in astronomical context as the program is capable of generating a huge amount of theoretical data and comparing it to observational line list. A number of atomic transition algorithms and analytical techniques are implemented within the program and can be very useful in various situations. The program can be described as fast and efficient. Moreover, it requires modest computational resources.

description: This article examines the extensional flow and viscosity and the converging-diverging geometry as the basis of the peculiar viscoelastic behavior in porous media. The modified Bautista-Manero model, which successfully describes elasticity, thixotropic time dependency and shear-thinning, was used for modeling the flow of viscoelastic materials which also show thixotropic attributes. An algorithm, originally proposed by Philippe Tardy, that employs this model to simulate steady-state time-dependent flow was implemented in a non-Newtonian flow simulation code using pore-scale modeling. The simulation results using two topologically-complex networks confirmed the importance of the extensional flow and converging-diverging geometry on the behavior of non-Newtonian fluids in porous media. The analysis also identified a number of correct trends (qualitative and quantitative) and revealed the effect of various fluid and flow parameters on the flow process. The impact of some numerical parameters was also assessed and verified.

description: Network modeling is used to study the flow in porous media of Ellis and Herschel–Bulkley fluids, which model a large group of time-independent non-Newtonian fluids. Previous work is extended to include yield-stress and shear-thickening phenomena. We use two topologically-disordered networks representing a sand pack and Berea sandstone. Analytical expressions for the volumetric flow rate in a single tube are derived and implemented in each pore and throat to simulate single-phase flow in the pore space. An iterative technique is used to compute the relationship between flow rate and pressure gradient across the whole network. The single tube behavior is compared to that of the network. Experimental data in the literature are compared to the network simulation results to validate the model and investigate its predictive capabilities. Good agreement is obtained in many cases. The flow of yield-stress fluids in porous media is analyzed. Two algorithms to predict the network threshold yield pressure are implemented and compared to the numerically computed threshold yield pressure of the network.
Reconstructive colour X-ray diffraction imaging - a novel TEDDI imaging method

Subjects: Crystallography

description: Tomographic Energy-Dispersive Diffraction Imaging (TEDDI) enables a unique non-destructive mapping of the interior of bulk objects, exploiting the full range of X-ray signals (diffraction, fluorescence, scattering, background) recorded. By analogy to optical imaging, a wide variety of features (structure, composition, orientation, strain) dispersed in X-ray wavelengths can be extracted and colour-coded to aid interpretation. The ultimate aim of this approach is to realise real-time high definition colour X-ray diffraction imaging, on the timescales of seconds, so that one will be able to ‘look inside’ optically opaque apparatus and unravel the space/time-evolution of the materials chemistry taking place. This will impact strongly on many fields of science but there are currently two barriers to this goal: speed of data acquisition (a 2D scan currently takes minutes to hours) and loss of image definition through spatial distortion of the X-ray sampling volume. Here we present a data collection scenario and reconstruction routine which overcomes the latter barrier and which has been successfully applied to a phantom test object and to real materials systems such as a carbonating cement block. These procedures are immediately transferable to the promising technology of multi-energy dispersive- detector-arrays which are planned to deliver the other breakthrough, that of one–two orders of magnitude improvement in data acquisition rates, that will be needed to realise real-time high definition colour X-ray diffraction imaging.

description: Ce qui est à retenir de la Loi sur l’Enseignement Obligatoire (LEO) relative aux sanctions est que « les sanctions doivent être respectueuses de la dignité de l’élève » (article 120 alinéa 3). Ce sont des actions préventives ou, le cas échéant, des sanctions éducatives qu’il faudrait instaurer. Les prescriptions officielles sont ainsi, mais qu’en est-il des pratiques sur le terrain ? Les punitions sont-elles encore employées ? Ce mémoire porte sur les pratiques disciplinaires des enseignant-e-s au primaire (cycle 2), ainsi que sur les raisons qui fondent l’utilisation de divers moyens de régulation des comportements d’élèves. Les auteurs témoignent d’une réflexion sur l’utilisation de certaines pratiques disciplinaires en lien avec la gestion de classe, pouvant être définies comme l’action de « penser l’organisation qui surplombe et rend possible les interactions didactiques » (Perrenoud, 1999). Ainsi, les auteurs élaborent une problématique concernant la gestion de classe en ces mots : « Les pratiques déclarées des enseignant-e-s concernant la gestion de la discipline dans leur classe du cycle 2 sont-elles en adéquation avec leurs pratiques réelles ? Ces pratiques sont-elles respectueuses des élèves et du cadre prescrit ? ». C’est au moyen d’observations et d’entretiens semi-dirigés avec deux enseignantes de la Côte vaudoise, que cette étude a été menée. Au vu de la méthodologie utilisée, ce travail se situe donc au coeur de la pratique enseignante. Les hypothèses formulées étaient que les pratiques déclarées des enseignant-e-s pouvaient varier de celles observées en classe. Cela étant dit, les pratiques déclarées pourraient être biaisées par les contraintes sociales ou par les réalités du terrain, dans le sens où l’enseignant-e pourrait adapter son discours afin d’être plus proche des « bonnes » pratiques, bien que les pratiques réelles pourraient rester les mêmes. À la suite des analyses, il n’a pas été observé de différences significatives entre les pratiques réelles et les pratiques déclarées. En revanche, il a été constaté qu’une confusion subsiste quant aux notions de sanctions et de punitions.
The common and the rare : relative abundance and the life history drivers of rarity in tropical reef fish
Creators: name: Wohling-Shaw, Marc
Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University
Year: 2011

description: A rare species is one with low abundance and/or a small range size. A research approach that prioritises an understanding of the natural causes of rarity and commonness brings attention to those rare species most sensitive to anthropogenic disturbance. This thesis examines the correlations between life history traits and fishing pressure on the rarity and commonness of reef fish and the temporal consistency of these patterns of relative abundance through time. Data were taken from the AIMS Long Term Monitoring Program on the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (1994 - 2005). The influence of traits (body size, schooling, activity, home range, trophic status, fishing pressure) on patterns of relative abundance was examined using GLMM analysis. Predators with large mean body sizes (lethrinids, lutjanids and serranids) and home ranges were found to be rarest across a range of measures. These species are also the targets of commercial and recreational fisheries. Re-analysis of the dataset after categorization of species as rare or common suggested that mean body size and fishing pressure along with home range, are important determinants of relative abundance. Wide-ranging species also tend to be rare. Relative abundance was strongly negatively correlated with temporal variability. Common species varied little in relative abundance from year to year while rare species varied greatly. Due to this stochastic variation in recruitment, the use of rare species as indicators of reef health may be unreliable. The results of this study suggest that widely ranging rare species may be inadequately conserved using current Marine Protected Areas and ‘no-take’ marine reserves even if the protected area is regarded as of ‘adequate size’ or forms part of an interlinked network of smaller areas. Effective management needs to occur across agencies and national and international borders to support the persistence of rare coral reef species.
Linguistics training in indigenous adult education and its effects on endangered languages

Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University

description: Australia is losing its Indigenous linguistic and cultural identity at an alarming rate. Of the 250 Indigenous languages on this continent 250 years ago, only eighteen are ‘strong’. However, if decisive action is not taken immediately we risk losing the remaining languages by 2050. Not only have these Indigenous languages been lost, but many have disappeared without adequate documentation. There is a strong desire expressed by Indigenous communities and Australian policies to reverse this situation before the remaining Indigenous languages are lost. Documentation and maintenance activities by linguistically trained Indigenous adults are vital to reducing this loss. This research project analyses the past 30 years of courses and graduates of linguistics training that has been specifically designed for Australian Indigenous adults. It then explores what enhances or constrains the work of graduates, whether due to training or other factors, from the point of view of Indigenous people at the grassroots level. The data were gathered through openended interviews with 98 participants in 22 Indigenous communities representing 32 Australian Indigenous languages across the northern half of Australia. The data show that graduates of linguistics training specifically designed for remote Indigenous adults are not working in the field or are achieving limited language documentation and maintenance outcomes. The analysis shows that changes are needed in (i) curriculum developments and delivery methods, (ii) the policy and practices of educational institutions, particularly with respect to literacy and student numbers, and (iii) access to regional language centres to help negotiate cultural and project support issues in remote communities. The details of these issues vary systematically across the diversity of social and cultural environments faced by Indigenous Australians. The results provide guidance to educational institutions, the linguistics profession and governments. They assist in the development of targeted, culturally appropriate and effective training for Indigenous language researchers and identify the vital linguistic support and policy needed in remote regions of Australia.

description: In this thesis we investigate high throughput computational methods for processing large quantities of data collected from synchrotrons and their application to spectral analysis of powder diffraction data. We also present the main product of this PhD programme, specifically a software called 'EasyDD' developed by the author. This software was created to meet the increasing demand on data processing and analysis capabilities as required by modern detectors which produce huge quantities of data. Modern detectors coupled with the high intensity X-ray sources available at synchrotrons have led to the situation where datasets can be collected in ever shorter time scales and in ever larger numbers. Such large volumes of datasets pose a data processing bottleneck which augments with current and future instrument development. EasyDD has achieved its objectives and made significant contributions to scientific research. It can also be used as a model for more mature attempts in the future. EasyDD is currently in use by a number of researchers in a number of academic and research institutions to process high-energy diffraction data. These include data collected by different techniques such as Energy Dispersive Diffraction, Angle Dispersive Diffraction and Computer Aided Tomography. EasyDD has already been used in a number of published studies, and is currently in use by the High Energy X-Ray Imaging Technology project. The software was also used by the author to process and analyse datasets collected from synchrotron radiation facilities. In this regard, the thesis presents novel scientific research involving the use of EasyDD to handle large diffraction datasets in the study of alumina-supported metal oxide catalyst bodies. These data were collected using Tomographic Energy Dispersive Diffraction Imaging and Computer Aided Tomography techniques.

description: In the first section we present the atomic part where a C2+ atomic target was prepared and used to generate theoretical data to investigate recombination lines arising from electron-ion collisions in thin plasma. R-matrix method was used to describe the C2+ plus electron system. Theoretical data concerning bound and autoionizing states were generated in the intermediate-coupling approximation. The data were used to generate dielectronic recombination data for C+ which include transition lines, oscillator strengths, radiative transition probabilities, emissivities and dielectronic recombination coefficients. The data were cast in a line list containing 6187 optically-allowed transitions which include many C II lines observed in astronomical spectra. This line list was used to analyze the spectra from a number of astronomical objects, mainly planetary nebulae, and identify their electron temperature. The electron temperature investigation was also extended to include free electron energy analysis to investigate the long-standing problem of discrepancy between the results of recombination and forbidden lines analysis and its possible connection to the electron distribution.
In the second section we present the results of our molecular investigation; the generation of a comprehensive, calculated line list of frequencies and transition probabilities for H2D+. The line list contains over 22 million rotational-vibrational transitions occurring between more than 33 thousand energy levels and covers frequencies up to 18500 cm-1. About 15% of these levels are fully assigned with approximate rotational and vibrational quantum numbers. A temperature-dependent partition function and cooling function are presented. Temperature-dependent synthetic spectra for the temperatures T=100, 500, 1000 and 2000 K in the frequency range 0-10000 cm-1 were also generated and presented graphically.

description: The thesis investigates the flow of non-Newtonian fluids in porous media using pore-scale network modeling. Non-Newtonian fluids show very complex time and strain dependent behavior and may have initial yield stress. Their common feature is that they do not obey the simple Newtonian relation of proportionality between stress and rate of deformation. They are generally classified into three main categories: time-independent, time-dependent and viscoelastic. Two three-dimensional networks representing a sand pack and Berea sandstone were used. An iterative numerical technique is used to solve the pressure field and obtain the flow rate and apparent viscosity. The time-independent category is investigated using two fluid models: Ellis and Herschel-Bulkley. The analysis confirmed the reliability of the non-Newtonian network model used in this study. Good results are obtained, especially for the Ellis model, when comparing the network model results to experimental data sets found in the literature. The yield-stress phenomenon is also investigated and several numerical algorithms were developed and implemented to predict threshold yield pressure of the network. An extensive literature survey and investigation were carried out to understand the phenomenon of viscoelasticity with special attention to the flow in porous media. The extensional flow and viscosity and converging-diverging geometry were thoroughly examined as the basis of the peculiar viscoelastic behavior in porous media. The modified Bautista-Manero model was identified as a promising candidate for modeling the flow of viscoelastic materials which also show thixotropic attributes. An algorithm that employs this model was implemented in the non-Newtonian code and the initial results were analyzed. The time-dependent category was examined and several problems in modeling and simulating the flow of these fluids were identified.

description: The generalized minimax concave (GMC) penalty is a nonconvex sparse regularizer which can preserve the overall-convexity of the sparse least squares problem. In this paper, we study the solution path of a special but important instance of the GMC model termed the scaled GMC (sGMC) model. We show that despite the nonconvexity of the regularizer, there exists a solution path of the sGMC model which is piecewise linear as a function of the regularization parameter, and we propose an efficient algorithm for computing a solution path of this type. Our algorithm is an extension of the well-known least angle regression (LARS) algorithm for LASSO, hence we term the proposed algorithm LARS-sGMC. The proposed algorithm is provably correct and finitely terminating under suitable assumptions. Numerical experiments verify the correctness of LARS-sGMC, and demonstrate the usefulness of LARS-sGMC (with proper model selection criterion) for finding the optimal regularization parameter of the sGMC model.

Subjects: classificationCode: 490205
subject: Mathematical aspects of quantum and conformal field theory, quantum gravity and string theory
classificationCode: 490201
subject: Algebraic structures in mathematical physics

description: This study delves into the intriguing phenomenon of intersecting trajectories exhibited by objects moving with uniform acceleration along perpendicular axes. Through a comprehensive kinematic analysis, we investigate the conditions under which two objects, each experiencing uniform acceleration along independent axes, converge at a common point in space. Utilizing fundamental principles of motion, including equations of motion and vector analysis, we elucidate the dynamics governing this intersection. Our findings offer valuable insights into the behavior of dynamic systems and provide a framework for understanding complex motion scenarios in various fields, including physics, engineering, and robotics. This research contributes to the broader discourse on kinematics and lays the groundwork for further exploration of intersecting trajectories in diverse contexts.

description: Cette recherche porte sur l’évaluation sommative du chant à l’école chez des élèves de 7-8H et le stress qu’elle engendre chez eux. Notre question de recherche est la suivante : Quelles sont les pratiques d’évaluation sommative du chant susceptibles de limiter le stress chez les élèves de 7-8H ? Nous avons tenté, lors de nos recherches, de rendre compte des différentes pratiques évaluatives du chant qui existent actuellement et de découvrir les différentes conséquences qu’elles ont sur les élèves et plus précisément sur leur état émotionnel. Pour ce faire, nous avons eu recours à la méthode d’enquête. Nous avons tout d’abord procédé à une enquête préalable en distribuant des questionnaires à des enseignants de musique. Puis, nous en avons sélectionné quelques uns pour des entretiens plus approfondis. Finalement, des questionnaires ont été distribués aux élèves des enseignants qui avaient été interviewés.
Phenotypic characterization of chloroquine resistance in Plasmodium spp. isolates

description: Malaria remains a major global health problem. Highly effective anti-malarial treatments are critical to the malaria elimination agenda. However, the emergence of multidrug-resistant P. falciparum and P. vivax challenge these efforts. In this thesis, novel ex vivo tools were developed and applied to investigate various phenotypic aspects of anti-malarial resistance and resulted in the following principal findings: 1. Napththoquine and methylene blue showed potent ex vivo efficacy againstmultidrug resistant P. falciparum and P. vivax, highlighting their potential use for malaria treatment. 2. A rapid and robust drug susceptibility quantification method by using flowcytometry was developed; highlighting the potential use of this method forroutine ex vivo drug surveillance and higher throughput anti-malarial drugscreening. 3. The evaluation of various programs and online platforms to estimate anti-malarial IC50s, a key parameter in expressing cytostatic drug activity,provides useful guidance for researchers in making an informed decision onwhat analysis tool is most suitable for their purposes. 4. Testing of ‘reversed chloroquine’ compounds and CQ reversal agentsrevealed contrasting resistance reversal patterns between P. falciparum and P.vivax, indicating different CQ transport mechanism in the two species. 5. CQ transport kinetic studies using a novel field-applicable flow cytometryassay revealed contrasting patterns in P. falciparum and P. vivax, supportinga growing body of evidence suggesting different mechanisms of CQ actionand resistance in these two species. This thesis contributed to the improvement of ex vivo tools for drug resistance surveillance and the screening of novel anti-malarial lead compounds. For the first time, the studies investigated CQ uptake and efflux in P. vivax and hence, contributed to a better understanding of the mechanisms of CQ action and resistance in this species. Finally, the phenotypic data provide a prerequisite for more in-depth genomic studies on the molecular determinants of anti-malarial resistance.

description: Local self-management, popularly known as devolution, is a political initiative in English-speaking nations over the last couple of decades taken to promote community participation in education. In Australia, state and territory governments are responsible to provide public education services but with this policy they devolve decision-making, management and responsibility, as considered appropriate, to the local level. Functions that are devolved to be performed locally, in the school communities, are managed within parameters established by the governments and as directed, supported and monitored through arrangements made in their respective systems for these purposes. The policy of self-management in education has aroused contention. This has resulted primarily from a publicly perceived ‘rhetoric/reality gap’, wherein governments are seen to advocate ‘devolution’ as educationally beneficial for children but actually institute it as a cost-cutting strategy. Although acceptance has been widespread nonetheless and there is enthusiasm about the administrative advantages it offers, there is resentment where governments are considered to have been heavy-handed in handling its introduction. This has been the case in the Northern Territory, especially with growing enforcement of its acceptance from the mid-1980s. This dissertation is devoted to the NT experience: it provides background on the Territory and its education system; the substance of the policy is considered and a theoretical model against which to analyse it is devised; the development and implementation of the policy are traced; its impact in two Aboriginal communities is studied on an exploratory basis, a prerequisite for which is an introduction to education in remote Aboriginal NT; and the findings of the study are finally reconsidered, to identify emergent characteristics, advisable direction with the policy and any need for further research. It gives the NT Government substantial feedback on a major policy initiative in public education. A fuller study of the impact of ‘devolution’ across the Territory could use this thesis as its base.
