description: We solve the problem of determining the Weierstrass structure of a regular matrix pencil obtained by a low rank perturbation of another regular matrix pencil. We apply the result to find necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a low rank perturbation such that the perturbed pencil has prescribed eigenvalues and algebraic multiplicities. The results hold over fields with sufficient number of elements.

Designing thin film solar cells for optimum photovoltaic performance
Creators: name: Ompong, David
Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University
Year: 2017

description: In this thesis, theoretical studies on the various operation mechanisms of bulk heterojunction solar cells have been carried out, with the view of enhancing their photovoltaic performance. The processes considered in this thesis include mechanism of intersystem crossing of excitons, diffusion of excitons, probability of recombination of free charge carriers into their excitonic states, and charge carrier transport. The results obtained from the above theoretical works have inspired the optimisation of two types of bulk heterojunction solar cells by simulation, using the optical admittance analysis method (OAAM). After the introduction in chapter 1, the mechanism of intersystem crossing in organic materials is described and the rate of intersystem crossing is derived in chapter2, by using the first order perturbation theory and Fermi’s golden rule. A newly derived exciton-spin-orbit-vibrational interaction operator which depends on the atomic number of the constituent atoms in the material is used as a perturbation operator. Thus, the influence of incorporation of heavy metal atoms on the rate of intersystem crossing is also studied. The diffusion length and diffusion coefficient of excitons, and recombination of free charge carriers into their excitonic states are presented in chapter 3. In chapter 4, an analytical expression for charge carrier mobility dependent open-circuit voltage in organic and hybrid solar cells is derived by optimising the current density obtained using the drift-diffusion model. By using the derived expression, the calculated open-circuit voltage in organic and hybrid solar cells is used to illustrate the effects of charge carrier mobilities on the open-circuit voltage. In chapter 5, the optimisation of design of two BHJ OSCs of structures: (1) ITO/PEDOT:PSS /P3HT:PCBM/LiF/Al and (2) ITO/ZnO/PTB7:PCBM /LiF /Ag is carried out. The thicknesses of the active layers and metal electrodes are optimised using OAAM simulation. It is found that by optimising the thicknesses of the two BHJ OSCs structures, one can increase the short-circuit current density of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/P3HT:PCBM/LiF/Al BHJ OSC by 4.8% and that of ITO/ZnO/PTB7:PCBM /LiF/Ag by 13.3%. Thus, an increase of more than 2 and 6 % in power conversion efficiency can be achieved in ITO/PEDOT:PSS/ P3HT:PCBM/LiF/Al and ITO/ZnO /PTB7:PCBM /LiF /Ag OSCs, respectively. The results of this investigation are expected to be useful in the fabrication of high-efficiency bulk heterojunction solar cells.

description: A long-standing, unanswered question regarding Euclid's Elements concerns the absence of a theorem for the concurrence of the altitudes of a triangle, and the possible reasons for this omission. In the centuries following Euclid, a remarkable number of proofs have been put forward; this suggests a search for the most elementary and direct proof. This paper provides a simple, direct, elementary proof of the theorem; it is based solely on the Elements.

Uncertainty in Cloud Optical Depth Estimates Made from Satellite Radiance Measurements
Creators: name: Pincus, Robert

name: Austin, Philip H.
Publisher: name: American Meteorological Society
Year: 2016

description: The uncertainty in optical depths retrieved from satellite measurements of visible wavelength radiance at the top of the atmosphere is quantified. Techniques are briefly reviewed for the estimation of optical depth from measurements of radiance, and it is noted that these estimates are always more uncertain at greater optical depths and larger solar zenith angles. The lack of radiometric calibration for visible wavelength imagers on operational satellites dominates the uncertainty retrievals of optical depth. This is true for both single-pixel retrievals and for statistics calculated from a population of individual retrievals. For individual estimates or small samples, sensor discretization (especially for the VAS instrument) can also be significant, but the sensitivity of the retrieval to the specification of the model atmosphere is less important. The relative uncertainty in calibration affects the accuracy with which optical depth distributions measured by different sensors may be quantitatively compared, while the absolute calibration uncertainty, acting through the nonlinear mapping of radiance to optical depth, limits the degree to which distributions measured by the same sensor may be distinguished.

description: With the aging of our populations, dementia will become a problem which would directly or indirectly affect a large number of people. One of the most dangerous dementia symptoms is wandering. It consists in aimless walking and spatial disorientation, which might lead to various unpleasant situations like falling down accidents at home to leaving the living place and going missing. Therefore, in order to ensure elderly people's safety it is crucial to detect and alarm the caregivers in case of such incidents. It can be done by tracking the sufferers movements and detecting signs of repetitiveness. The paper presents the results of the study, in which the wandering behavior of people suffering from dementia was monitored using a Bluetooth Low Energy based positioning system. The paper includes the description of the system used for patients localization and the results of the tests performed in a long term care facility.

title: The interpretation of Australian heritage sites

Creators: name: Opitz, Judy Rose
Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University
Year: 2008

description: This thesis studies the presentation of Indigenous and non-Indigenous archaeological/heritage sites in Australia, exploring the ideology and management practices behind their presentation. The aim of the thesis is to critically examine, by means of comparison, the proposition that there may be discordance in the public understanding of the material fabric of Indigenous and settler sites in Australia. Two sites are used as case studies: Port Arthur Historic Site on the Tasman Peninsula in Tasmania, and Anbangbang Rockshelter situated in Nourlangie Rock in Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory. These sites were specifically chosen for the dissimilarity in the approach taken to their presentation, a presentation which hinges on the culturally based management of the site. Port Arthur Historic Site is a well preserved penal colony which acts as a reminder of Australia’s history from the time of European colonisation of Van Diemen’s Land in the early nineteenth century. The changing nature of the interpretation of the Historic Site as a tourist venture, ranging from the cessation of transportation to present times, is considered in conjunction with the extent to which the social moods and memories of the so-called “hated stain” have dictated past styles of presentation. Anbangbang Rockshelter dates back some 20,000 years and contains an extensive gallery of rock art. Although the site has been archaeologically excavated with stone artefacts indicating the prehistoric use of the shelter, this aspect is minimised for public presentation. The unifying theme running through the thesis is the exploration of the culturallybased reasons for the disparate presentations of the two sites and their changes over time. In the case of the Indigenous site, it particularly looks at whether the constrained style of presentation precludes or enhances a deeper understanding of the Aboriginal heritage.

Creators: name: Overton, Jennifer Louise
Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University

description: This qualitative research project employs a critical case study approach to examine the effects of change on teachers. It uses the concept of identity to investigate the deeper personal and professional implications of change. Open-ended interviews with eight early childhood teachers provide the data, which are analysed using a three-tiered approach. The first level of analysis utilises a narrative approach, storying the interviews. This summarises the information for the reader and provides background understandings about each of the teachers. The second level of analysis interrogates the data using a grounded theory approach and arrives at three themes of change, power and identity, with their accompanying categories and sub-categories. The third level of analysis expands on the previous analyses and employs a discourse analytic approach using Gee’s (1999) framework of 18 analytical questions, in conjunction with the research questions, to develop further understandings from the teachers’ perceptions of their identities in contexts of change. The key findings relate to the interconnected issues of teacher professionalism, the actions of the education system towards teachers, and the relationship between teachers’ identity and change. The study has evidenced the ways in which the actions of the educational system shape the value that teachers assign to themselves and their working lives and corrode teachers’ sense of value to their employer. In contexts of ongoing educational change, teachers experience some degree of personal and professional uncertainty and instability. This puts teachers at risk of eroding the residual goodwill that exists between teachers and the education system. Marked disparities in how issues of professionalism are understood also place teachers in a position of uncertainty and conflict and create the need for self-protective behaviours on their part. In turn, this can diminish teachers’ commitment to teaching tasks and has direct implications for teacher effectiveness and student learning.

description: Bluetooth Low Energy systems are one of the most popular solutions used for indoor localization. Unfortunately their accuracy might not be sufficient for some of the applications. One way to reduce localization errors is hybrid positioning, which combines measurement results obtained with different techniques. The paper describes a concept of a hybrid localization system in which Bluetooth Low Energy technology is supported with the use of laser proximity sensors. Results from both system parts are fused using a novel, simple positioning algorithm. The proposed system concept was tested using BLE and proximity sensors evaluation boards.

description: A series of aryl-diazinyl-cyanoacetamide (2a–l) were prepared by coupling the appropriate diazotized arylamines with dioxoisoindoline cyanaoacetamide (1). Also, the cyclization of azo derivatives (2f, 2h, and 2j) with chloroacetonitrile to yield the pyrazole derivatives (5f, 5h, and 5j) was studied. Moreover, compound 2d reacts with malononitrile to afford compound (6e). In a similar manner compound, 2d reacts with hydroxylamine to afford the sole product tetrazine derivative 8d. All the newly synthesized compounds were fully characterized by both analytical and spectral analyses. The geometries of the azo and hydrazo tautomeric forms were optimized at the B3LYP/6-311G level of theory. The dyeing performance of the synthesized dyes on polyester fibers has been assessed. Most of the dyes showed a good affinity to polyester fibers. No details regarding the synthesis and dyeing performance of such dyes are reported before in the literature.

description: The paper describes an NLOS (Non-Line-of-Sight) mitigation method intended for use in a UWB positioning system. In the proposed method propagation conditions between the localized objects and the anchors forming system infrastructure are classified into one of three categories: LOS (Line-of-Sight), NLOS and severe NLOS. Non-Line-of-Sight detection is conducted based on first path signal component power measurements. For each of the categories, average NLOS inducted time of arrival bias and bias standard deviation have been estimated based on results gathered during a measurement campaign conducted in a fully furnished apartment. To locate a tag, an EKF (Extended Kalman Filter) based algorithm is used. The proposed method of NLOS mitigation consists in correcting measurement results obtained in NLOS conditions and lowering their significance in a tag position estimation process. The paper includes the description of the method and the results of the conducted experiments.

description: Although several strain sensors based on carbon nanotubes have been reported, it is still a great challenge to fabricate strain sensors possessed with large workable strain range, high sensitivity and stability. Herein, we developed a highly elastic strain and high sensitivity sensor based on stretchable spandex yarns manufactured by an easy layer-by-layer assembly method. Effects of multi-walled carboxylic carbon nanotubes and chitosan on sensor’s properties were investigated. The prepared sensor exhibited fascinating comprehensive sensing performance, including large workable strain range (∼115%), superior sensitivity (gauge factor up to 159 at 0–40% strain and 8175 over 100% strain), In addition, it still exhibited good work stably after 3500 cycles at strain of 50%. The sensor can detect both large and small scale human motions, including joint movement, phonation, swallowing, and drinking.

description: This paper performs the first quantitative economic analysis of the proposed Fair Pay Agreement (FPA) and analyses the welfare (or wellbeing) implications and economic effects of the proposed FPA for Aotearoa New Zealand. The new FPA system is designed to address weaknesses of the labour market in Aotearoa. Using a standard dynamic macroeconomic model with labour market imperfections via search and matching frictions calibrated for Aotearoa New Zealand, we simulate the macroeconomic and welfare effects of the FPA. To be precise, we model an increase in worker’s bargaining power. We find that this labour market reform will reduce overall welfare (or wellbeing) in the economy and will lead to increased unemployment, lower production and incomes, and higher inflation. In conclusion, while the reform will increase wages, it will reduce overall welfare and harm the economy and should, therefore, not be implemented.

description: A large number of studies have indicated associations between particulate air pollution and adverse health outcomes. Wintertime air pollution in particular has been associated with increased mortality. Identification of causal constituents of inhalable particulate matter has been elusive, although one candidate has been the acidity of the aerosol. Here we report measurements of acidic aerosol species made for approximately 1.5 years in Erfurt, Germany, and Sokolov, Czech Republic. In both locations, the burning of high-sulfur coal is the primary source of ambient air pollution. Twenty-four-hour average measurements were made for PM₁₀,[particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter (da) ≤10 ㎛], as well as fine particle(da) <2.5 ㎛) H⁺ and SO²-/₄ for the entire study. Additionally, separate day and night measurements of fine particle H⁺, SO²-/₄, NO₃, and NH₄⁺ and the gases, SO₂, HNO₃, HONO, and NH₃ were collected with an annular denuder/filter pack system over a 7-month (late winter-summer) period with additional measurements during pollution episodes the following winter. At both sites, 24-hr SO₂ (mean concentrations of 52 μg/m³, with peak levels of >585 μg/m³) and PM₁₀ (mean concentration of 60 μg m³) concentrations were quite high. However, aerosol SO²-/₄ concentrations (mean concentration of approximately 10 μg/m³) were not as great as expected given the high SO₂ concentrations, and acidity was very low (mean concentration of <1 μg/m³, with peak levels of only 7 μg/m³). Low acidity is likely to be the result of NH3 neutralization and slow conversion of SO₂ to SO²-/₄. These data, along with evidence that aerosol acidity exposures are significantly lower than ambient levels and the reported association between fine particulate air pollution and health outcomes in regions where little aerosol acidity has been measured, suggest that particulate acidity alone is not the primary component defining fine particulate air pollution toxicity.

description: Background: Transformer-based language models have shown strong performance on many Natural LanguageProcessing (NLP) tasks. Masked Language Models (MLMs) attract sustained interest because they can be adaptedto different languages and sub-domains through training or fine-tuning on specific corpora while remaining lighterthan modern Large Language Models (LLMs). Recently, several MLMs have been released for the biomedicaldomain in French, and experiments suggest that they outperform standard French counterparts. However, nosystematic evaluation comparing all models on the same corpora is available. Objective: This paper presentsan evaluation of masked language models for biomedical French on the task of clinical named entity recognition.Material and methods: We evaluate biomedical models CamemBERT-bio and DrBERT and compare them tostandard French models CamemBERT, FlauBERT and FrALBERT as well as multilingual mBERT using three publicallyavailable corpora for clinical named entity recognition in French. The evaluation set-up relies on gold-standardcorpora as released by the corpus developers. Results: Results suggest that CamemBERT-bio outperformsDrBERT consistently while FlauBERT offers competitive performance and FrAlBERT achieves the lowest carbonfootprint. Conclusion: This is the first benchmark evaluation of biomedical masked language models for Frenchclinical entity recognition that compares model performance consistently on nested entity recognition using metricscovering performance and environmental impact.

description: Intent classification and slot-filling are essential tasks of Spoken Language Understanding (SLU). In most SLUsystems, those tasks are realized by independent modules. For about fifteen years, models achieving both of themjointly and exploiting their mutual enhancement have been proposed. A multilingual module using a joint modelwas envisioned to create a touristic dialogue system for a European project, HumanE-AI-Net. A combination ofmultiple datasets, including the MEDIA dataset, was suggested for training this joint model. The MEDIA SLU datasetis a French dataset distributed since 2005 by ELRA, mainly used by the French research community and free foracademic research since 2020. Unfortunately, it is annotated only in slots but not intents. An enhanced version ofMEDIA annotated with intents has been built to extend its use to more tasks and use cases. This paper presents thesemi-automatic methodology used to obtain this enhanced version. In addition, we present the first results of SLUexperiments on this enhanced dataset using joint models for intent classification and slot-filling.

description: In this article, we evaluate the first experience of computation offloading from drones to real fifth-generation (5G) operator systems, including commercial and private carrier-grade 5G networks. A follow-me drone service was implemented as a representative testbed of remote video analytics. In this application, an image of a person from a drone camera is processed at the edge, and image tracking displacements are translated into positioning commands that are sent back to the drone, so that the drone keeps the camera focused on the person at all times. The application is characterised to identify the processing and communication contributions to service delay. Then, we evaluate the latency of the application in a real non standalone 5G operator network, a standalone carrier-grade 5G private network, and, to compare these results with previous research, a Wi-Fi wireless local area network. We considered both multi-access edge computing (MEC) and cloud offloading scenarios. Onboard computing was also evaluated to assess the trade-offs with task offloading. The results determine the network configurations that are feasible for the follow-me application use case depending on the mobility of the end user, and to what extent MEC is advantageous over a state-of-the-art cloud service.

description: Tapa (barkcloth) is a non-woven textile made from the inner bark of some plant species. Tapa manufacture was once widespread throughout the Pacific and tapa from the eighteenth and nineteenth century form part of Pacific collections in many museums. Here we examined the feasibility of DNA identification of the plants used to make tapa artefacts by developing and testing a DNA reference database of chloroplast trnL intron P6 loop sequences from many of the plant species used to make tapa, as well as other New Zealand textile plants. This database enabled identification to genus for most species but many species shared identical sequences. Despite the lack of species-level resolution, this technique will still aid with identifying the origins of tapa artefacts made from plants with restricted distributions, such as endemic New Zealand and Hawaiian Islands plants. A second aim was to test a number of DNA extraction methods, including non-destructive methods of interest to the heritage sector, on tapa samples. Only one of the non-destructive sampling methods produced amplifiable DNA. However, we did find variation in the success of the destructive methods tested, with the Qiagen DNeasy Plant Mini Kit having the highest success rate.

description: Vehicle automation is driving the integration of advanced sensors and new applications that demand high-quality information, such as collaborative sensing for enhanced situational awareness. In this work, we considered a vehicular sensing scenario supported by 5G communications, in which vehicle sensor data need to be sent to edge computing resources with stringent latency constraints. To ensure low latency with the resources available, we propose an optimization framework that deploys User Plane Functions (UPFs) dynamically at the edge to minimize the number of network hops between the vehicles and them. The proposed framework relies on a practical Software-Defined-Networking (SDN)-based mechanism that allows seamless re-assignment of vehicles to UPFs while maintaining session and service continuity. We propose and evaluate different UPF allocation algorithms that reduce communications latency compared to static, random, and centralized deployment baselines. Our results demonstrated that the dynamic allocation of UPFs can support latency-critical applications that would be unfeasible otherwise.

description: The unstoppable adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) is driven by the deployment of new services that require continuous capture of information from huge populations of sensors, or actuating over a myriad of "smart" objects. Accordingly, next generation networks are being designed to support such massive numbers of devices and connections. For example, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is designing the different 5G releases specifically with IoT in mind. Nevertheless, from a security perspective this scenario is a potential nightmare: the attack surface becomes wider and many IoT nodes do not have enough resources to support advanced security protocols. In fact, security is rarely a priority in their design. Thus, including network-level mechanisms for preventing attacks from malware-infected IoT devices is mandatory to avert further damage. In this paper, we propose a novel Software-Defined Networking (SDN)-based architecture to identify suspicious nodes in 4G or 5G networks and redirect their traffic to a secondary network slice where traffic is analyzed in depth before allowing it reaching its destination. The architecture can be easily integrated in any existing deployment due to its interoperability. By following this approach, we can detect potential threats at an early stage and limit the damage by Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks originated in IoT devices.

description: The dawn of the 21st century marked a monumental milestone in scientific exploration with the groundbreaking detection of gravitational waves, a phenomenon long predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity. After the first detection in 2015, the network of detectors located around the world has continued to improve its sensitivity, leading to the observation of more than 80 events in the first three observation runs. GEO600 is a gravitational wave detector designed to improve its high-frequency sensitivity. The frequency band around a few kHz is particularly important for signals from the post-merger of binary neutron stars. A more ambitious project for the detector, GEO-VHF (Very High Frequency), aims to explore previously uncharted territory in the frequency range of a few hundred kHz. Exotic signals, such as the emission of gravitational waves from the bosonic superradiance of black holes, are expected to occur in this frequency range. The new project will include the calibration of the detector up to 500 kHz, the possibility of changing the de-tuning of the Signal Recycling Cavity (SRC), the increase of circulating light power and the injection of squeezed states of light to reduce the shot noise of the detector. The current error signal for the SRC length control, based on the frontal modulation scheme, is sub-optimal for a detuned operation of the interferometer. The aim of this thesis is to test a new SRC locking technique that is more suitable for transitioning the detector to a detuned state. The new technique is based on detecting changes in the SRC length by injecting an auxiliary sub-carrier field from the dark port of the interferometer. A crucial aspect of the new scheme is to prove its compatibility with squeezing. In fact, the sub-carrier field shares the same path with the squeezed light. Furthermore, the thesis investigates methods to enhance squeezing performance by tackling two key challenges: mitigating backscattered light interference in the squeezed light generation process and reducing optical loss due to astigmatism. By addressing these issues, the research will contribute to a better understanding of the factors that may hinder quantum noise reduction in gravitational wave detectors.
