description: Hedychium spicatum is a perennial shrub that is commonly found in the Himalayan region. Thin layer chromatography fingerprint screening of various Hedychium species revealed that only the species Hedychium spicatum possesses hedychenone. Purification and isolation of hedychenone was carried out from methanolic extract of Hedychium spicatum rhizomes powder using column chromatography. After crystallization of enriched fraction, 2.19% of hedychenone crystalline powder was yielded. The physiochemical, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic evaluation of the active pharmaceutical components was conducted using artificial learning and machine learning (AL/ML) approaches. The results indicate that both medications adhere to Lipinski’s rule of five. The docking study indicated that compound 2 (MBE-10.4 kcal/mol) exhibited a more sub-stantial interaction with the cannabinoid receptor 2 compared to hedychenone (MBE -9.85 kcal/mol). A study was done to assess the physical and chemical stability of hedychenone under biological pH conditions. Furthermore, the administration of both medication concentrations, 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/ kg, effectively inhibits the development of acute paw edema caused by ovalbumin. A preliminary investigation of hedychenone and its synthetic derivative indicated that these compounds have the potential to be utilized as active medicinal ingredients in herbal pharmaceutical preparations.

description: Excerpts from the report: The Coastal Region includes all the coastal watersheds and offshore islands from the Parker River in the north to the Buzzards Bay and Narragansett Bay drainage in the southeast portion of Massachusetts. It is bounded by the Merrimack River and the Blackstone River Basins on the north and west, and by the Atlantic Ocean on the east and south. Larger rivers in the region include the Ipswich, Neponset, Taunton, and the Ten Mile. The region includes the entire counties of Dukes, Bristol, Plymouth, Barnstable, Suffolk, and Nantucket, and parts of Essex, Middlesex, and Norfolk Counties. The region is the cultural and economic center for not only Massachusetts but for the entire New England area. The region is composed of 127 towns or cities and 10 study areas which are defined on either a watershed or on a natural boundary basis. This is a report of a study of the water and related land resources of the Coastal Region, prepared by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Massachusetts Water Resources Commission. The objectives of this study are to identify problems, determine needs through 1990, and suggest alternatives which can be used by the Massachusetts Water Resources Commission to prepare a comprehensive state water and related land resources plan. Information contained in this report will be useful to state, regional, and local agencies concerned with land use and natural resource planning.
description: The Massachusetts Water Resources Study was initiated by a cooperative agreement between the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Massachusetts Water Resources Commission (MWRC). Under state law, the MWRC has the responsibility to develop an overall plan and to coordinate federal, state, and other agency activities in the water resources field. The USDA participated in this study at the request of the MWRC. Section 6 of the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act (Public Law 83-566, as amended) authorizes such participation by USDA.

description: In identifying the demographic and ideological characteristics of Australian voters, Charnock and Ellis (2004) have proposed a two-axis schema on which parties and their supporters are situated according to their attitudes regarding both economic and postmaterialist values and issues. The economic axis represents the traditional left–right spectrum of political competition, covering statist to individualist approaches to economic matters. This is the spectrum on which the long-established parties, the Australian Labor Party (ALP) and the Liberal/Nationals (Coalition), are most differentiated. The postmaterialist spectrum covers a number of more recent trends, reflecting the shift in focus from 'maximising economic gains to maximising subjective well-being' (Inglehart 1997, 86) through a focus on civil rights, the environment, and liberal attitudes towards sexuality and religion.

description: Background: Adolescents with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) show less effective metabolic control than other age groups, partly because of biological changes beyond their control and partly because in this period of developmental transition, psychosocial factors can militate against young people upholding their lifestyle and medical regimens. Parents have an important role to play in supporting adolescents to self-manage their disease, but resultant family tensions can be high. In this study, we aimed to assess family functioning and adolescent behaviour/ adjustment and examine the relationships between these parent-reported variables and adolescent metabolic control (HbA1c), self-reported health and diabetes self-care. Method: A sample of 76 parents of Australian adolescents with T1D completed the Child Health Questionnaire -Parent form. Their adolescent child with T1D provided their HbA1c level from their most recent clinic visit, their self-reported general health, and completed a measure of diabetes self-care. Results: Parent-reported family conflict was high, as was disease impact on family dynamics and parental stress. Higher HbA1c (poorer metabolic control) and less adequate adolescent self-care were associated with lower levels of family functioning, more adolescent behavioural difficulties and poorer adolescent mental health. Conclusions: The implication of these findings was discussed in relation to needs for information and support among Australian families with an adolescent with T1D, acknowledging the important dimension of family functioning and relationships in adolescent chronic disease management.

description: As-synthesized, poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid) (PSS)-coated and SiO 2 coated gold nanorods were taken up by NG108-15 neuronal cells. Exposure to laser light at the plasmon resonance wavelength of gold nanorods was found to trigger the differentiation process in the nanoparticle treated cells. Results were assessed by measuring the maximum neurite length, the number of neurites per neuron and the percentage of neurons with neurites. When the intracellular Ca2+ signaling was monitored, evidence of photo-generated transients were recorded without altering other normal cell functions. These results open new opportunities for peripheral nerve regeneration treatments and for the process of infrared nerve stimulation.

description: We explore the relation between the structure and mass accretion histories of dark matter haloes using a suite of cosmological simulations. We confirm that the formation time, defined as the time when the virial mass of the main progenitor equals the mass enclosed within the scale radius, correlates strongly with concentration. We provide a semi-analytic model for halo mass history that combines analytic relations with fits to simulations. This model has the functional form, M(z) = M0(1 + z)αeβz, where the parameters α and β are directly correlated with concentration. We then combine this model for the halo mass history with the analytic relations between α, β and the linear power spectrum derived by Correa et al. to establish the physical link between halo concentration and the initial density perturbation field. Finally, we provide fitting formulae for the halo mass history as well as numerical routines. We derive the accretion rate as a function of halo mass, and demonstrate how the halo mass history depends on cosmology and the adopted definition of halo mass.

description: Understanding the universal accretion history of dark matter haloes is the first step towards determining the origin of their structure. We use the extended Press–Schechter formalism to derive the halo mass accretion history from the growth rate of initial density perturbations. We show that the halo mass history is well described by an exponential function of redshift in the high-redshift regime. However, in the low-redshift regime the mass history follows a power law because the growth of density perturbations is halted in the dark energy dominated era due to the accelerated expansion of the Universe. We provide an analytic model that follows the expression M(z)=M0(1+z)af(M0)e−f(M0)z, where M0 = M(z = 0), a depends on cosmology and f(M0) depends only on the linear matter power spectrum. The analytic model does not rely on calibration against numerical simulations and is suitable for any cosmology. We compare our model with the latest empirical models for the mass accretion history in the literature and find very good agreement. We provide numerical routines for the model online (available at https://bitbucket.org/astroduff/commah).

Antlia Dwarf Galaxy: distance, quantitative morphology and recent formation history via statistical field correction

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: We apply a statistical field correction technique originally designed to determine membership of high redshift galaxy clusters to Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging of the Antlia Dwarf Galaxy; a galaxy at the very edge of the Local Group. Using the tip of the red giant branch standard candle method coupled with a simple Sobel edge detection filter we find a new distance to Antlia of 1.31 ± 0.03 Mpc. For the first time for a Local Group member, we compute the concentration, asymmetry and clumpiness quantitative morphology parameters for Antlia from the distribution of resolved stars in the HST/Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) field, corrected with a new method for contaminants and complement these parameters with the Gini coefficient (G) and the second-order moment of the brightest 20 per cent of the flux (M20). We show that it is a classic dwarf elliptical (C = 2.0, A = 0.063, S = 0.077, G = 0.39 and M20=−1.17 in the F814W band), but has an appreciable blue stellar population at its core, confirming on-going star formation. The values of asymmetry and clumpiness, as well as Gini and M20 are consistent with an undisturbed galaxy. Although our analysis suggests that Antlia may not be tidally influenced by NGC 3109, it does not necessarily preclude such interaction.

description: We have selected a sample of local E+A galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 for follow-up integral field spectroscopy with the Wide Field Spectrograph (WiFeS) on the Australian National University's (ANU) 2.3-m telescope. The sample was selected using the Hα line in place of the [O ii] λ3727 line as the indicator of ongoing star formation (or lack thereof). This allowed us to select a lower redshift sample of galaxies than available in the literature since the [O ii] λ3727 falls off the blue end of the wavelength coverage in the SDSS for the very lowest redshift objects. This low-redshift selection means that the galaxies have a large angular to physical scale which allows us to resolve the central ∼1 kpc region of the galaxies; the region where stellar population gradients are expected. Such observations have been difficult to make using other higher redshift samples because even at redshifts z∼ 0.1 the angular to physical scale is similar to the resolution provided by ground-based seeing. Our integral field spectroscopy has enabled us to make the first robust detections of Balmer line gradients in the centres of E+A galaxies. Six out of our sample of seven, and all the galaxies with regular morphologies, are observed to have compact and centrally concentrated Balmer line absorption. This is evidence for compact young cores and stellar population gradients which are predicted from models of mergers and tidal interactions which funnel gas into the galaxy core. Given the generally isolated nature of our sample, this argues for the galaxies being seen in the late stage of a merger where the progenitors have already coalesced.

description: The quantification and analysis of molecular localization in living cells is increasingly important for elucidating biological pathways, and new methods are rapidly emerging. The quantification of cell polarity has generated much interest recently, and ratiometric analysis of fluorescence microscopy images provides one means to quantify cell polarity. However, detection of fluorescence, and the ratiometric measurement, is likely to be sensitive to acquisition settings and image processing parameters. Using imaging of EGFP-expressing cells and computer simulations of variations in fluorescence ratios, we characterized the dependence of ratiometric measurements on processing parameters. This analysis showed that image settings alter polarization measurements; and that clustered localization is more susceptible to artifacts than homogeneous localization. To correct for such inconsistencies, we developed and validated a method for choosing the most appropriate analysis settings, and for incorporating internal controls to ensure fidelity of polarity measurements. This approach is applicable to testing polarity in all cells where the axis of polarity is known.

description: We use molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the linear and nonlinear density response functions for simple fluids under the influence of spatially periodic external fields. Using a direct Fourier space decomposition of the instantaneous microscopic density for the perturbed fluid we can clearly identify the distinct order of response. Using a single component sinusoidal longitudinal force for a set of wavelengths and amplitudes we show that in the linear response regime the proportionality between the external field amplitude and the density perturbation can be used to determine the linear density response function, and hence the pair correlation function, static liquid structure factor, and lowest order direct correlation function. We show also that for large external field amplitudes a single component external field can be used to determine the form for lowest order and second lowest order nonlinear response functions for restricted regions of the total response function spaces.

description: Thermophoresis is the movement of molecules caused by a temperature gradient. Here we report the results of a study of thermophoresis using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of a confined argon-krypton fluid subject to two different temperatures at thermostated walls. The resulting temperature profile between the walls is used along with the Soret coefficient to predict the concentration profile that develops across the channel. We obtain the Soret coefficient by calculating the mutual diffusion and thermal diffusion coefficients. We report an appropriate method for calculating the transport coefficients for binary systems, using the Green-Kubo integrals and radial distribution functions obtained from equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of the bulk fluid. Our method has the unique advantage of separating the mutual diffusion and thermal diffusion coefficients, and calculating the sign and magnitude of their individual contributions to thermophoresis in binary mixtures.
Intermolecular potentials and the accurate prediction of the thermodynamic properties of water

description: The ability of intermolecular potentials to correctly predict the thermodynamic properties of liquid water at a density of 0.998 g/cm3 for a wide range of temperatures (298-650 K) and pressures (0.1-700 MPa) is investigated. Molecular dynamics simulations are reported for the pressure, thermal pressure coefficient, thermal expansion coefficient, isothermal and adiabatic compressibilities, isobaric and isochoric heat capacities, and Joule-Thomson coefficient of liquid water using the non-polarizable SPC/E and TIP4P/2005 potentials. The results are compared with both experiment data and results obtained from the ab initio-based Matsuoka-Clementi-Yoshimine non-additive (MCYna) [J. Li, Z. Zhou, and R. J. Sadus, J. Chem. Phys. 127, 154509 (2007)] potential, which includes polarization contributions. The data clearly indicate that both the SPC/E and TIP4P/2005 potentials are only in qualitative agreement with experiment, whereas the polarizable MCYna potential predicts some properties within experimental uncertainty. This highlights the importance of polarizability for the accurate prediction of the thermodynamic properties of water, particularly at temperatures beyond 298 K.

description: Evidence from past research suggests that behaviours and characteristics related to body dissatisfaction may be associated with greater instability of perceptual body image, possibly due to problems in the integration of body-related multisensory information. We investigated whether people with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), a condition characterised by body image disturbances, demonstrated enhanced susceptibility to the rubber hand illusion (RHI), which arises as a result of multisensory integration processes when a rubber hand and the participant's hidden real hand are stimulated in synchrony. Overall, differences in RHI experience between the BDD group and healthy and schizophrenia control groups (n = 17 in each) were not significant. RHI strength, however, was positively associated with body dissatisfaction and related tendencies. For the healthy control group, proprioceptive drift towards the rubber hand was observed following synchronous but not asynchronous stimulation, a typical pattern when inducing the RHI. Similar drifts in proprioceptive awareness occurred for the BDD group irrespective of whether stimulation was synchronous or not. These results are discussed in terms of possible abnormalities in visual processing and multisensory integration among people with BDD.
title: Essays in Applied Macroeconomics

description: I present a thesis in three chapters in the broad field of Applied Macroeconomics.
 The first chapter is an empirical investigation into the “granular hypothesis” - the hypothesis that shocks to extremely large firms can have aggregate economic consequences. Identifying this channel is nontrivial as it may be the case that large firms respond more to aggregate shocks than most firms. I present a new way to identify true firm-level shocks by looking at stock price movements around the times that firms release financial information. I argue such movements reflect firm-specific, rather than aggregate information. Using a measure of firm shocks recovered using this information suggests that the importance of such shocks for aggregate economic outcomes has been overestimated by previous work in the literature.
 A good univariate representation of US GDP is a random walk with drift. The second chapter shows that nonetheless US recessions have been associated with predictable short-term recoveries with relatively small changes in long-term GDP forecasts. To detect these predictable changes, it is important to use a multivariate time series model. We discuss reasons why univariate representations can miss key characteristics of the underlying variable such as predictability, especially during recessions.
 The third chapter develops a general equilibrium model to investigate the macroeconomic consequences of liquidity regulation, a form of regulation which was strengthened substantially after the 2008 financial crisis. The model is used to identify two separate channels through which liquidity regulation can affect the cost of capital: the “crowding out” and “financial repression” channels. In the absence of these, I establish a neutrality result in which liquidity regulation does not affect the wider economy. The principal policy implication of this chapter is that regulators should not count safe assets which they require banks to hold for liquidity purposes against bank capital requirements.

description: According to the photoheating model of the intergalactic medium (IGM), He II reionization is expected to affect its thermal evolution. Evidence for additional energy injection into the IGM has been found at 3 ≲ z ≲ 4, though the evidence for the subsequent fall-offbelow z ~ 2.8 is weaker and depends on the slope of the temperature-density relation, γ. Here we present, for the first time, an extension of the IGM temperature measurements down to the atmospheric cut-offof the HI Lyman-α (Lyα) forest at z ≃ 1.5. Applying the curvature method on a sample of 60 Ultraviolet and Visual Echelle Spectrograph (UVES) spectra we investigated the thermal history of the IGM at z < 3 with precision comparable to the higher redshift results. We find that the temperature of the cosmic gas traced by the Lyα forest [T (-δ)] increases for increasing overdensity from T (-δ) ~ 22670 to 33740 K in the redshift range z ~ 2.8-1.6. Under the assumption of two reasonable values for γ, the temperature at the mean density (T0) shows a tendency to flatten at z ≲ 2.8. In the case of γ ~ 1.5, our results are consistent with previous ones which indicate a falling T0 for redshifts z≲2.8. Finally, our T (-δ) values show reasonable agreement with moderate blazar heating models.

description: A coupled ordinary differential equation model of tumour-immune dynamics is presented and analysed. The model accounts for biological and clinical factors which regulate the interaction rates of cytotoxic lymphocytes on the surface of the tumour mass. A phase plane analysis demonstrates that competition between tumour cells and lymphocytes can result in tumour eradication, perpetual oscillations, or unbounded solutions. To investigate the dependence of the dynamic behaviour on model parameters, the equations are solved analytically and conditions for unbounded versus bounded solutions are dis- cussed. An analytic characterisation of the basin of attraction for oscillatory orbits is given. It is also shown that the tumour shape, characterised by a surface area to volume scaling factor, influences the size of the basin, with significant consequences for therapy design. The findings reveal that the tumour vol- ume must surpass a threshold size that depends on lymphocyte parameters for the cancer to be com- pletely eliminated. A semi-analytic procedure to calculate oscillation periods and determine their sensitivity to model parameters is also presented. Numerical results show that the period of oscillations exhibits notable nonlinear dependence on biologically relevant conditions.

description: Aims. We determine the metallicities of globular clusters (GCs) in the WLM and IKN dwarf galaxies, using VLT/UVES and Keck/ESI spectroscopy. These measurements are combined with literature data for field stars to constrain GC formation scenarios. For the WLM GC, we also measure detailed abundance ratios for a number of light, , Fe-peak, and n-capture elements, which are compared with literature data for the Fornax dSph and the Milky Way. Methods. The abundances are derived by computing synthetic integrated-light model spectra and adjusting the input composition until the best fits to the observed spectra are obtained. Results. We find low metallicities of [Fe=H] = 2:0 and-2:1 for the WLM GC and the GC IKN-5, respectively. We estimate that 17%-31% of the stars with [Fe=H] ≤-2 in WLM belong to the GC, and IKN-5 may even contain a similar number of metal-poor stars as the whole of the IKN dwarf itself. While these fractions are much higher than in the Milky Way halo, we have previously found a similarly high ratio of metal-poor GCs to field stars in the Fornax dSph. The overall abundance patterns in the WLM GC are similar to those observed for GCs in the Fornax dSph: the [Ca/Fe] and [Ti/Fe] ratios are super-Solar at about +0:3 dex, while [Mg/Fe] is less elevated than [Ca/Fe] and [Ti/Fe]. The [Na/Fe] ratio is similar to the averaged [Na/Fe] ratios in Milky Way GCs, but higher (by ∼2 σ) than those of Milky Way halo stars. Iron-peak (Mn, Sc, Cr) and heavy elements (Ba, Y, La) generally follow the trends seen in the Milky Way halo. Conclusions. The GCs in the WLM and IKN dwarf galaxies resemble those in the Fornax dSph by being significantly more metalpoor than a typical halo GC in the Milky Way and other large galaxies. They are also substantially more metal-poor than the bulk of the field stars in their parent galaxies. It appears that only a small fraction of the Milky Way GC system could have been accreted from galaxies similar to these dwarfs. The relatively high Na abundance in the WLM GC suggests that the [Na/O] anti-correlation is present in this cluster, while the high ratios of metal-poor GCs to field stars in the dwarfs are in tension with GC formation scenarios that require GCs to have lost a very large fraction of their initial mass.
