Pro-Nicene exegesis in Hilary of Poitiers' De trinitate and Basil of Caesarea's Contra eunomium: a comparative study
Creators: name: Macdonald, Seumas Jeltzz Clayton
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis argues that Basil and Hilary demonstrate similarities in exegetical practice in their doctrinal works that reflects their common pro-Nicene trinitarian theology. Theological writing in the 360s represents a second stage in the development of the fourth century trinitarian debates. Recent scholarship highlights the way in which methodological issues, particularly exegetical practice, underlie theological difference and provide the formulation of one group of authors as pro-Nicene. This study examines how exegetical practice in doctrinally focused works exemplifies those methodological similarities among pro-Nicenes, with some contrast to non-Nicene readings. It argues that pro-Nicene theologians demonstrate exegetical techniques dependent upon theological presuppositions in a way that is consistent across pro-Nicene writings. To demonstrate this consistency, I conduct close textual readings of Basil and Hilary's use of significant texts in doctrinal polemic, contextualised against other fourth century theologians. I demonstrate their parallel and complementary usage of partitive exegesis. Their treatment of John 1 exemplifies pro-Nicene presuppositions about the co-eternality and pre-existence of the second person of the Trinity. I argue that the pro-Nicene approach to texts that speak of the Son's creation are governed for all fourth-century theologians by a set of related exegetical questions, for which Basil and Hilary, in common with other pro-Nicenes, have a set of similar, co-ordinated answers, even when differing in details. Texts which appear conducive to equality arguments are interpreted through the matrix of theories of names, the category of 'birth', and the identity relationship between δύναμις and οὐσία. Texts strongly suggestive of subordination are, in contrast, regularly explained in terms of either causality or economy. Certain distinctives of pro-Nicene theology function as hermeneutical rules of interpretation, which shape how pro-Nicenes exegete passages of scripture. Those rules and distinctives are common across the pro-Nicene spectrum on a basic level, even as they vary at the level of author and text. This commonality with variation is clear in Basil and Hilary, and exemplary of an identifying feature of pro-Nicene exegetical practice in the fourth century.
Controlling of a mobile robot with a trailer and its nilpotent approximation

description: The work studies a number of approaches to solving motion planning problem for a mobile robot with a trailer. Different control models of car-like robots are considered from the differential-geometric point of view. The same models can be also used for controlling a mobile robot with a trailer. However, in cases where the position of the trailer is of importance, i.e., when it is moving backward, a more complex approach should be applied. At the end of the article, such an approach, based on recent works in sub-Riemannian geometry, is described. It is applied to the problem of reparking a trailer and implemented in the algorithm for parking a mobile robot with a trailer.

description: Plasticization, a common method of reducing the polymer melt viscosity in plastics extrusion, was investigated to improve the processability of a pharmaceutical formulation during twin-screw melt granulation. The thermolabile drug gabapentin was used as a model compound given previous work showed the benefit of preparing 80% drug loading gabapentin granules with hydroxypropyl cellulose as thermal binder. The plasticizer triethyl citrate was selected based on physicochemical compatibility with both the thermal binder and gabapentin by assessing polymer melt rheology and drug stability, respectively. Gabapentin was melt granulated at 80% drug loading with pre-plasticized binder using a co-rotating twin-screw extruder. The chemical stability and tabletability of the pre-plasticized granules were assessed to evaluate granule tabletability, drug stability, and process robustness. The granulation of gabapentin was facilitated by pre-plasticization, showing both increased granule growth and the ability to optimize processing conditions by lowering processing temperature. Pre-plasticization of thermal binder was therefore shown to be beneficial during melt granulation as a method of optimizing processing conditions while maintaining granule robustness.
Constructing literary dystopia: exploring the divide between young adult and adult dystopian fictions

Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Throughout study of the development of the dystopian literary genre, very little emphasis has been placed on young adult dystopian novels. In the twenty-first century, when young adult fiction is becoming a significant proportion of dystopian novels published, it is important to analyse the extent of the engagement of such novels with the dystopian literary tradition – and thereby establish their importance in dystopian discourse. Seeking to fulfil that aim, this thesis will be examining the similarities and differences between two adult dystopian novels, Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood and The Road by Cormac McCarthy, and two young adult dystopian novels, Uglies by Scott Westerfeld and Shades of Grey: the Road to High Saffron by Jasper Fforde. The thesis will focus on how the authors construct the dystopian settings in the novels using methods that recur throughout utopian and dystopian fictions. The three methods that will be discussed are: characterisation, the manifestation of hope and fear, and the representation of politics. Ultimately, the thesis argues that the young adult literary dystopia discussed are simpler than adult dystopian texts, but are no less embedded in the dystopian tradition. In fact, that the young adult dystopian texts approach the same political issues as their adult counterparts reveals their full engagements with the dystopian literary tradition.

Development and validation of a model for investigation of transcellular trafficking of the ALS gene product TDP-43
Creators: name: Lynch, Erin
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common form of motor neuron disease that affects the upper and lower motor neurons. ALS is an adult onset disease, which progressively worsens after onset, leading to severe loss of motor function and eventually death. Mutations in the gene encoding TDP-43, an RNA-binding protein, have been identified in patients with heritable ALS. The mutant form of TDP-43 is associated with neuronal degeneration and intracellular aggregate formation in vitro. Aggregates have also been identified within patient tissues: it is proposed that mutant TDP-43 drives aggregate formation and that the aggregates play a role in the neuronal dysfunction and eventual death that underlie the clinical features of ALS.One paradox in the field of ALS research is that neuronal loss is largely restricted to neurons related to motor control, but that degeneration is progressive and occurs at all levels of the neuraxis. A mechanism that could potentially underlie the selective spread of dysfunction through functionally discrete pathways is self-assembly and propagation of cytotoxic proteins. We hypothesize the mutant TDP-43 may drive aggregate formation in affected cells and could potentially move between cells via a prion-like mechanism.The specific aims of this thesis are to; (1) generate a plasmid construct that encodes a GFP fusion protein of wild-type and mutant TDP-43, allowing the direct visualization of TDP-43 distribution in live cells. (2) To generate vectors that drive stable and permanent integration of those fusion proteins. (3) To test whether GFP is detectable in cells that are co-cultured with TDP-43 mutants.

description: We present a comparative analysis of the maximum performance achieved by the Linpack benchmark on compute intensive hardware publicly available from multiple cloud providers. We study both performance within a single compute node, and speedup for distributed memory calculations with up to 32 nodes or at least 512 computing cores. We distinguish between hyper-threaded and non-hyper-threaded scenarios and estimate the performance per single computing core. We also compare results with a traditional supercomputing system for reference. Our findings provide a way to rank the cloud providers and demonstrate the viability of the cloud for high performance computing applications.

description: Business leaders and the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) are calling for more effective boards, to ensure the goal of long-term survival and prosperity of firms. Efficient investment is the key to achieving firms' sustainability. Using 14-year panel data of all the companies listed on the ASX, this study investigates the association between a variety of board attributes and firm investment efficiency. The study provides evidence that boards with more concentrated functional expertise and higher director shareholdings are more effective in reducing both over-investment and under-investment. Smaller boards are able to reduce under-investment but not over-investment, while boards with longer average tenure restrain over-investment but not under-investment.

description: This paper presents the first detailed investigation of the characteristics of mm/submm phase fluctuation and phase correction methods obtained using ALMA with baseline lengths up to ~15 km. Most of the spatial structure functions (SSFs) show that the phase fluctuation increases as a function of baseline length, with a power-law slope of ~0.6. In many cases, we find that the slope becomes shallower (average of ~0.2-0.3) at baseline lengths longer than ~1 km, namely showing a turn-over in SSF. The phase correction method using water vapor radiometers (WVRs) works well, especially for the cases where PWV >1 mm, which reduces the degree of phase fluctuations by a factor of two in many cases. However, phase fluctuations still remain after the WVR phase correction, suggesting the existence of other turbulent constituent that cause the phase fluctuation. This is supported by occasional SSFs that do not exhibit any turn-over; these are only seen when the PWV is low or after WVR phase correction. This means that the phase fluctuation caused by this turbulent constituent is inherently smaller than that caused by water vapor. Since there is no turn-over in the SSF up to the maximum baseline length of ~15 km, this turbulent constituent must have scale height of 10 km or more, and thus cannot be water vapor, whose scale height is around 1 km. This large scale height turbulent constituent is likely to be water ice or a dry component. Excess path length fluctuation after the WVR phase correction at a baseline length of 10 km is large (>200 micron), which is significant for high frequency (>450 GHz or <700 micron) observations. These results suggest the need for an additional phase correction method, such as fast switching, in addition to the WVR phase correction. We simulated the fast switching, and the result suggests that it works well, with shorter cycle times linearly improving the coherence.

Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Fluid structure interaction of FSI testing has the potential to greatly increase the efficiency of various designs that are in close interaction with a fluid, as it showcases the direct influence of the fluid flow on structural elements of a system. There is however a lack of experimental data that can be used to validate the results obtained from FSI testing, in turn leading to uncertainty in the results. This thesis reviews the process of FSI testing to create a wind tunnel experiment of a flexible wing that will be utilised to generate deflection data on a wing, forces acting on the wing, as well as the effects that a deformed wing shape has on its overall performance, in terms of lift and drag.

description: Memory has a great impact on the evolution of every process related to human societies. Among them, the evolution of an epidemic is directly related to the individuals' experiences. Indeed, any real epidemic process is clearly sustained by a non-Markovian dynamics: memory effects play an essential role in the spreading of diseases. Including memory effects in the susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) epidemic model seems very appropriate for such an investigation. Thus, the memory prone SIR model dynamics is investigated using fractional derivatives. The decay of long-range memory, taken as a power-law function, is directly controlled by the order of the fractional derivatives in the corresponding nonlinear fractional differential evolution equations. Here we assume "fully mixed" approximation and show that the epidemic threshold is shifted to higher values than those for the memoryless system, depending on this memory "length" decay exponent. We also consider the SIR model on structured networks and study the effect of topology on threshold points in a non- Markovian dynamics. Furthermore, the lack of access to the precise information about the initial conditions or the past events plays a very relevant role in the correct estimation or prediction of the epidemic evolution. Such a "constraint" is analyzed and discussed.
Identity and sentient emotions at work
Creators: name: Mead, Amanda
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: "Work is central to human experience, influencing individuals' lives, value systems and identities and organizing and shaping societies. Globalization, increasing economic interdependencies and technological change have destabilized the experience of work, causing organizational rationalizing, downsizing, mergers and offshore employment, and making the individual's experience of work increasingly uncertain and anxious. The pace of change is set to continue, even increase. Using an interpretivist research paradigm and drawing on sociology, social psychology, moral philosophy and related disciplines, this research considers three 'moral' emotions - embarrassment, guilt and shame - and their relationships with personal identity-making. It draws on practice in a natural group setting during major organizational change to investigate the interpersonal emotional bridges between people and their experience of damage to these bridges. I contend that the interactional ongoing development of self-identity is intrinsically linked to the awareness of Other and can be analyzed through the Goffmanesque perspectives of the dialogues of face and frame. I consider the ethics of identity and further contend that the ethical orientation of communality, a social construct of particular importance in African/Akan philosophy, can provide a significant third perspective to face and frame to help understand the role of these sentient Other-oriented emotions in personal identity-making. My thesis makes five contributions. For scholars of identity, organizational change and sociologists of emotion, it proposes the addition of cognitively complex negative-affect valenced self-conscious emotions to the discussions of emotions in change. It proposes that Face and Frame are complementary analytical perspectives. It introduces the lens of the ethic of communality as a complement to individualism and extends Goffman by creating the Trilogy of Dialogues, Face, Frame and Self-ethic, to enable a more complete understanding of people's coactions with their self-identities. For practising managers, it will increase their ability to adapt and reinvent their organizations in times of major change, by providing a better understanding into the experience of change and the dilemmas and impact of sentient emotions." -- Abstract.

description: Dehydrins (DHNs) belong to group Ⅱ late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins which perform multiple functions in plants during stress conditions. Both K- and S-segments are conserved domains in the dehydrin protein family; however, there are only a few in vivo functional studies for these two conserved segments. In this study, the DHN gene wzy1-2 was isolated from Triticum aestivum and its K-/S-segment-truncated derivatives were generated. In order to explore the biological function of these two conserved fragments, subcellular localization and dimerization detection assays were performed for the K-/S-segment-truncated derivatives. Results of GFP fusion and bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assays indicated that WZY1-2 localized to nucleus as a homologous dimer. The S-segment partially regulated the nuclear localization of WZY1-2 but did not affect its dimerization, while the K-segment influenced neither the dimer formation nor the subcellular localization.

The brief in the art and design education: a multi-perspectival and mixed-methodological study

description: Crucial to the production of the design object or work of art is the genre of the brief; a document that operates to provide, among other things, the conceptual and technicag uidelines for the artist or designer. While the professional forms of the brief are often the subject of scholarly research, in the art and design educative environment the brief is typically a taken-for-granted and uncontested component of studio culture and hence remains largely untheorised and unanalysed. Motivated by issues that arose from an extended period tutoring in art and design, as well as my background in applied linguistics (notably genre-based and academic literacies research), this study investigates the brief genre in the context of the tertiary art and design studio, its conditions of production and reception, and the role that these play in the discursive facilitation of student creative activity. In order to capture the dynamic and discursively complex nature of the studio environment, I have used a multi-perspectived and mixed methodological research orientation; one which brings together a diversity of methodological tools to analyse and corroborate data from a range of interpenetrating textual, ethnographic and socio-historical perspectives. The findings are presented through a framework of conceptual constructs, namely those of work, agency, motivation, exploration, ideas and identity, which emerged from the analysis as having particular explanatory resonance. These conceptual constructs form the central chapters of the thesis, however for comparative purposes, these are followed by two case studies of professional practice. The study concludes with a discussion of pedagogical implications, as well as a critical reflection on the multi-perspectival and mixed methodological research orientation.
The effects of comprehensive direct and indirect written corrective feedback on accuracy in English as a foreign language students' writing

description: This study investigated the effect of two forms of written corrective feedback (WCF) on written accuracy: comprehensive indirect feedback, in which students received coded feedback on all errors, and comprehensive direct feedback, in which all errors were corrected by the rater. The study looked at four pieces of writing over two months in a group of 30 students at a Japanese university. The study was quasi-experimental in that it took place outside the classroom and participants were randomly assigned to treatment and control groups, but sampling was non-random. No significant effect was found either for time or feedback type on accuracy. This is contrary to the findings of a majority of recent research, most of which has found some effect for WCF. Possible explanations for these findings are discussed. The first is type II error. The second is that the study supports the argument that WCF is ineffective. The possibility that comprehensive feedback overwhelms students and is therefore ineffective is also discussed. Participant motivation is an additional consideration. A final possibility is that the results were due to the context of the study, which meant that it was largely controlled for language input for its duration. The ramifications of these possibilities for WCF are discussed, and directions for future research are offered.

description: Power exhaust is one of the major challenges for a future fusion device. Applying a non-axisymmetric external magnetic perturbation is one technique that is studied in order to mitigate or suppress large edge localized modes which accompany the high confinement regime in tokamaks. The external magnetic perturbation brakes the axisymmetry of a tokamak and leads to a 2D heat flux pattern on the divertor target. The 2D heat flux pattern at the outer divertor target is studied on ASDEX Upgrade in stationary L-Mode discharges. The amplitude of the 2D characteristic of the heat flux depends on the alignment between the field lines at the edge and the vacuum response of the applied magnetic perturbation spectrum. The 2D characteristic reduces with increasing density. The increasing divertor broadening $S$ with increasing density is proposed as the main actuator. This is supported by a generic model using field line tracing and the vacuum field approach that is in quantitative agreement with the measured heat flux. The perturbed heat flux, averaged over a full toroidal rotation of the magnetic perturbation, is identical to the non-perturbed heat flux without magnetic perturbation. The transport qualifiers, power fall-off length $λ_q$ and divertor broadening $S$, are the same within the uncertainty compared to the unperturbed reference. No additional cross field transport is observed.

description: Let $A$ be an abelian variety. We introduce $A$-equivariant Grothendieck rings and $A$-equivariant motivic Hall algebras, and endow them with natural integration maps to the ring of dual numbers. The construction allows a systematic treatment of reduced Donaldson-Thomas invariants by Hall algebra techniques. We calculate reduced Donaldson-Thomas invariants for $\mathrm{K3} \times E$ and abelian threefolds for several imprimitive curve classes. This verifies (in special cases) multiple cover formulas conjectured by Oberdieck-Pandharipande and Bryan-Oberdieck-Pandharipande-Yin.

description: We analyse a linear lattice Boltzmann (LB) formulation for simulation of linear acoustic wave propagation in heterogeneous media. We employ the single-relaxation-time Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) as well as the general multi-relaxation-time (MRT) collision operators. By calculating the dispersion relation for various 2D lattices, we show that the D2Q5 lattice is the most suitable model for the linear acoustic problem. We also implement a grid-refinement algorithm for the LB scheme to simulate waves propagating in a heterogeneous medium with velocity contrasts. Our results show that the LB scheme performance is comparable to the classical second-order finite-difference schemes. Given its efficiency for parallel computation, the LB method can be a cost effective tool for the simulation of linear acoustic waves in complex geometries and multiphase media.

description: When evaluating the cause of one's popularity on Twitter, one thing is considered to be the main driver: Many tweets. There is debate about the kind of tweet one should publish, but little beyond tweets. Of particular interest is the information provided by each Twitter user's profile page. One of the features are the given names on those profiles. Studies on psychology and economics identified correlations of the first name to, e.g., one's school marks or chances of getting a job interview in the US. Therefore, we are interested in the influence of those profile information on the follower count. We addressed this question by analyzing the profiles of about 6 Million Twitter users. All profiles are separated into three groups: Users that have a first name, English words, or neither of both in their name field. The assumption is that names and words influence the discoverability of a user and subsequently his/her follower count. We propose a classifier that labels users who will increase their follower count within a month by applying different models based on the user's group. The classifiers are evaluated with the area under the receiver operator curve score and achieves a score above 0.800.

description: This work studies the symmetry between colloidal dynamics and the dynamics of the Euro--US Dollar currency exchange market (EURUSD). We consider the EURUSD price in the time range between 2001 and 2015, where we find significant qualitative symmetry between fluctuation distributions from this market and the ones belonging to colloidal particles in supercooled or arrested states. In particular, we find that models used for arrested physical systems are suitable for describing the EURUSD fluctuation distributions. Whereas the corresponding mean squared price displacement (MSPD) to the EURUSD is diffusive for all years, when focusing in selected time frames within a day, we find a two-step MSPD when the New York Stock Exchange market closes, comparable to the dynamics in supercooled systems. This is corroborated by looking at the price correlation functions and non-Gaussian parameters, and can be described by the theoretical model. We discuss the origin and implications of this analogy.

Mining Object Parts from CNNs via Active Question-Answering

description: Given a convolutional neural network (CNN) that is pre-trained for object classification, this paper proposes to use active question-answering to semanticize neural patterns in conv-layers of the CNN and mine part concepts. For each part concept, we mine neural patterns in the pre-trained CNN, which are related to the target part, and use these patterns to construct an And-Or graph (AOG) to represent a four-layer semantic hierarchy of the part. As an interpretable model, the AOG associates different CNN units with different explicit object parts. We use an active human-computer communication to incrementally grow such an AOG on the pre-trained CNN as follows. We allow the computer to actively identify objects, whose neural patterns cannot be explained by the current AOG. Then, the computer asks human about the unexplained objects, and uses the answers to automatically discover certain CNN patterns corresponding to the missing knowledge. We incrementally grow the AOG to encode new knowledge discovered during the active-learning process. In experiments, our method exhibits high learning efficiency. Our method uses about 1/6-1/3 of the part annotations for training, but achieves similar or better part-localization performance than fast-RCNN methods.

description: In recent years, ruthenium (II) complexes have attracted attention due to high DNA topoisomerase I inhibitory activities and good anticancer activities. Herein, an asymmetric ligand 2-(5-(1, 10-phenanthroline))-1 H-4,5-diphenyl-imidazole (pdpi) and its ruthenium complexes were synthesized. DNA-binding mode of two complexes was determined as intercalation by using UV–vis spectra, emission spectra, viscosity, and molecular docking experiments. DNA photocleavage experimental results show that two ruthenium complexes effectively cleave plasmid DNA by producing singlet oxygen. Furthermore, they both displayed good topo I inhibition activities. The cytotoxic activities results show that complex 2 displays better antitumor activities against Eca-109 cells and A549 cells (IC50 = 25.97 ± 3.33 μM and 28.83 ± 2.49 μM, respectively) compared to complex 1.
title: Management Consultants Navigating Competing Systems of Engagement
Creators: name: Hartley, Jeanette
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2022

description: The aim of the research was to explore how management consultants experience and navigate between the competing demands of their client, consultancy, and personal systems of engagement. The internal, consultancy-facing role of the management consultant, which involves ongoing responsibilities for the day-to-day operation and success of their consultancy, sometimes alongside their client work, has not been researched sufficiently. The implication for the day-to-day experiences of management consultants, is that they must balance their participation between three, often competing social systems of their client, their consultancy, and their personal life. Their skills in managing transitions between these systems are worthy of study.

 The thesis draws on empirical research performed with practicing management consultants in 2019. I used conceptions of liminality to provide a theoretical framework (Turner, 1967, 1969; Van Gennep et al., 2019). The research design is based on Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, a qualitative approach concerned with in-depth exploration of lived experience, and with how people make sense of that lived experience (Smith, Flowers and Larkin, 2009). Data collection focused primarily on semi-structured interviews across three consultancy settings.

 The research contributes to existing theory by establishing that management consultants have an internal, consultancy-facing role which for some may be substantial. The research also establishes that management consultants’ experiences of liminality are far more complex than previously represented in the literature. Liminality for management consultants is neither linear nor permanent but non-linear, multi directional and multi-dimensional. They experience a recurrent kind of liminality based on multiple belonging. None of the forms of liminality experienced by management consultants corresponds closely to the idea of a three-stage linear process tied to rites of passage in the anthropological literature (Turner, 1967, 1969; Van Gennep et al., 2019). The research also contributes to the slowly growing body of work using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) in business and management research.
