description: Lyman break analogues (LBAs) are a population of star-forming galaxies at low redshift (z ~ 0.2) selected in the ultraviolet (UV). These objects present higher star formation rates and lower dust extinction than other galaxies with similar masses and luminosities in the local universe. In this work we present results from a survey with the Combined Array for Research in Millimetre-wave Astronomy (CARMA) to detect CO(1-0) emission in LBAs, in order to analyse the properties of the molecular gas in these galaxies. Our results show that LBAs follow the same Schmidt-Kennicutt law as local galaxies. On the other hand, they have higher gas fractions (up to 66%) and faster gas depletion time-scales (below 1 Gyr). These characteristics render these objects more akin to high-redshift star-forming galaxies. We conclude that LBAs are a great nearby laboratory for studying the cold interstellar medium in low-metallicity, UV-luminous compact star-forming galaxies.

description: Interspecific and intraspecific variation of parasitism can have different fitness costs between sexes and across developmental stages. This variation could arise because of individual differences in immunity and resistance. Theory predicts that the extent of parasitism and its costs will be greater in males than females. This prediction has been tested and verified in vertebrates. In insects, however, contradictory evidence has been found in different taxa. We tested this prediction on Agriocnemis damselflies, which are parasitized by Arrenurus mite ectoparasite. We quantified the parasite prevalence i.e., the proportion of parasitised individuals and intensity, i.e., the number of parasites per infected damselfly in Agriocnemis femina and Agriocnemis pygmaea damselflies from eleven field sites. In contrast to our predictions, we found no difference in parasite prevalence between sexes. We found that prevalence was greater in immature females than mature females. However, we found that parasite intensity was more significant in females than males and in immature females than mature females. We further tested whether parasitism reduces longevity in Agriocnemis femina damselflies. We found that parasitism significantly reduced longevity in males compared to females and in immature females than mature females. Overall, our study provides evidence that parasitism impacts sexes and developmental stages differentially.

description: The neutral rate of interest is an important concept and communication tool for central banks. We develop a small open economy model with overlapping generations to study the determinants of the neutral real rate of interest in a small open economy. The model captures domestic factors such as population aging, declining productivity, rising government debt and inequality. Foreign factors are captured by changes in the global neutral real rate. We use the model to evaluate secular dynamics of the neutral rate in Canada from 1980 to 2018. We find that changes in both foreign and domestic factors resulted in a protracted decline in the neutral rate.
description: Le taux d’intérêt neutre est un concept et un outil de communication important pour les banques centrales. Nous élaborons un modèle de petite économie ouverte à générations imbriquées pour étudier les déterminants du taux d’intérêt neutre dans une telle économie. Le modèle prend en compte de facteurs intérieurs comme le vieillissement de la population, la baisse de la productivité, l’accroissement de la dette publique et les inégalités. Il intègre également les variations du taux neutre réel mondial, qui englobe des facteurs étrangers. Nous utilisons le modèle pour évaluer la dynamique à long terme du taux d’intérêt neutre au Canada de 1980 à 2018. Nous constatons que les variations des facteurs tant étrangers qu’intérieurs ont entraîné une diminution prolongée de ce taux.
A Developmental Approach to Examining Well-Being in the Context of the Cancer Patient and Caregiver Relationship

description: The cancer patient and caregiver relationship is a pivotal aspect of caregiver well-being. Because cancer caregivers spend considerable amounts of time interacting with the patient and due to the long-standing, dynamic nature of this caregiver-patient interplay, this interaction can generate positive or dysfunctional outcomes. To date, there is relatively little research focused on caregivers’ experiences in the patient-caregiver dynamic, specifically that which explores this phenomenon using a lifespan developmental approach. This review places the cancer caregiver at the center of the bioecological model (Bronfenbrenner Morris, 2006), deeming the interaction between the caregiver and patient a proximal process a main driver of development--in the caregiver’s ecological environment. Within this interaction, how the developmental life stage--according to Erikson’s (1959) stages of psychosocial development of both the caregiver and the patient impacts caregiver well-being is investigated. Findings can inform age-appropriate interventions made to foster caregiver and patient well-being.

description: Multidrug resistance (MDR) is the primary cause for the failure of chemotherapy in the treatment of colon cancer. Recent research has indicated that the combination of a chemotherapeutic agent and a mitochondrial inhibitor might represent a promising strategy to help overcome MDR. However, for this approach to be clinically effective, it is important that the two drugs can be actively and simultaneously delivered into tumor cells at an optimal ratio and completely released drug within cells. To address these challenges, we designed and prepared a folate receptor-targeted and redox-responsive drug delivery system (FA-ss-P/A) that was able to co-deliver paclitaxel (PTX) and adjudin (ADD) to reverse colon cancer MDR. The PTX prodrug was obtained by conjugating PTX to dextrin via a disulfide-linkage. Then, folic acid (FA) was modified on the PTX prodrug. Finally, ADD, a mitochondrial inhibitor, was encapsulated in the PTX prodrug-formed micelles. A series of in vitro and in vivo experiments subsequently demonstrated that FA-ss-P/A can effectively reverse MDR by increasing cell uptake, inhibiting PTX efflux, and improving drug release.

description: Introduction. Using video modeling to teach discrete trial teaching (DTT) to professionals is a practice present in literature. In this study, we wanted to verify if viewing a video with embedded instructional materials, combined with descriptive feedback on performance during the intervention phases, could increase the accuracy of DTT execution in university students during role-playing sessions. Methods. The participants in this study were 16 students enrolled in the last year of educational courses at an Italian university. The study took place during two lectures held in a university classroom lasting five hours. We used a pre and post-video-modeling design to measure the participants' performance by evaluating the percentage of steps composing a discrete trial completed correctly. Results. The results showed that all participants rapidly improved their performance through video modeling. We also measured social validity. Conclusion. The implications for Italian professionals working in autism spectrum disorder therapy regarding job skill acquisition are examined. Limits and suggestions for future research are discussed.

description: Recently, a logarithmic decrease of conductivity has been observed in topological insulators at low temperatures, implying a tendency of localization of surface electrons. Here, we report quantum transport experiments on the topological insulator Bi2Te3 thin films with arrayed antidot nanostructures. With increasing density of the antidots, a systematic decrease is observed in the slope of the logarithmic temperature-dependent conductivity curves, indicating the electron-electron interaction can be tuned by the antidots. Meanwhile, the weak anti-localization effect revealed in magnetoconductivity exhibits an enhanced dominance of electron-electron interaction among decoherence mechanisms. The observation can be understood from an antidot-induced reduction of the effective dielectric constant, which controls the interactions between the surface electrons. Our results clarify the indispensable role of the electron-electron interaction in the localization of surface electrons and indicate the localization of surface electrons in an interacting topological insulator.

description: We study the ground-state properties of a spin-1/2 model on a chain containing four-spin Ising-like interactions in the presence of both transverse and longitudinal magnetic fields. We use entanglement entropy and finite-size scaling methods to obtain the phase diagrams of the model. Our numerical calculations reveal a rich variety of phases and the existence of multi-critical points in the system. We identify phases with both ferromagnetic and anti-ferromagnetic orderings. We also find periodically modulated orderings formed by a cluster of like-spins followed by another cluster of opposite like-spins. The quantum phases in the model are found to be separated by either first or second order transition lines.

description: It has been 20 years since planning began for the 1995 United Nations International Conference on Near-Earth Objects. The conference proceedings established the scientific basis for an international organizational framework to support research and collective actions to mitigate a potential near-Earth object (NEO) threat to the planet. Since that time, researchers have conducted telescope surveys that should, within the coming decade, answer many questions about the size, number, and Earth impact probability of these objects. Space explorations to asteroids and comets have been successfully carried out, including sample recovery. Laboratory experiments and computer simulations at Sandia National Laboratories have analyzed the effects of soft X-ray radiation on meteorites - which might help researchers develop a way to redirect an incoming asteroid by vaporizing a thin layer of its surface. An Action Team on NEOs, established in 2001 in response to recommendations of the Third United Nations Conference on the Exploration and Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, identified the primary components of NEO mitigation and emphasized the value of finding potentially hazardous NEOs as soon as possible. Recommendations from the Action Team are meant to ensure that all nations are aware of the NEO danger; and to coordinate mitigation activities among nations that could be affected by an impact, as well as those that might play an active role in any eventual deflection or disruption campaign.

The relation is shown to hold for both the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class and the Chern-Fulton class. The main tool is a formula for Segre classes of splayed subschemes. We also discuss the Chern class relation under the assumption that one of the varieties is a general very ample divisor.

description: Antibiotic resistance amongst microbial pathogens is a mounting serious issue in researchers and physicians. Various alternatives to overcome the multidrug-resistant bacterial infections are under search, and biofilm growth inhibition is one of them. In this investigation, a polymeric drug delivery system loaded with multi-serratial drugs to improve the delivery of drugs against urinary tract infection causative Serratia marcescens. The chitosan grafted pyromellitic dianhydride – cysteine (CS-g-PMDA-CYS) was conjugated with AuNPs by using the –SH group of CYS and RF (rifampicin) and INH (isoniazid) were loaded in AuNPs-fused CS-g-PMDA-CYS system. Several physicochemical techniques characterized this fabricated AuNPs/RF/INH/CS-g-PMDA-CYS system. The successful encapsulation of RF and INH in AuNPs-fused CS-g-PMDA-CYS polymer had confirmed, and it observed the loading capacity for RF and INH was 9.02% and 13.12%, respectively. The in vitro drug discharge pattern was perceived high in pH 5.5 compared with pH 7.4. The AuNPs/RF/INH/CS-g-PMDA-CYS escalates 74% of Caenorhabditis elegans survival during Serratia marcescens infection by aiming biofilm development and virulence in S. marcescens. Author postulate that the fabricated system is a promising drug carrier and delivery system for inhibition of multidrug-resistant bacterias like S. marcescens.

Cicero and Why We Read Him: Translators, Translation and the Reception of Antiquity

Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Why does Cicero continue to be translated? He is one of the most prolific authors of the ancient world, and one of the most widely translated, and yet those translations have received none of the critique they deserve, or need. In this thesis, translation will be studied as a key aspect of the reception of Cicero through a study of both the translations made of his work and the cultural context of the translators themselves. The comparative analysis of translations provides a basis for a better understanding of the reception of classical texts and will demonstrate that translation is far from an objective art or mathematical substitution game. Instead, this thesis demonstrates that translations provide a unique corpus for the study of classical reception and, at the same time, a means to comprehend how contemporary values affect not just translation, but also the reading of a text in translation. This study will develop classical reception theory, and the post-colonial perspective that lives at its heart, through the analysis of three translations of Cicero’s Catilinarians, four of his most famous speeches studied in translation today. These will be authored by: Thomas Gordon (1769); Charles Yonge (1856); and Michael Grant (1969). The last continues to be the most widely used translation for the study of Cicero and the Roman Republic in Australia, both in the Higher Schools Certificate (HSC) in Ancient History, and in the study of the subject by undergraduates at University. The analysis of these three translations locate the language used in the translation of Latin into English as containing and representing and, even, introducing cultural values for its readers. To understand why Cicero remains the voice of Rome, it must be understood how he is speaking, and how he is translated. As the field of Classics changes rapidly, the way we approach every aspect of the ancient world must be seen through new, critical eyes. And that includes our translations.

We concentrate on half filling and employ a ${\mathbb Z}_{2}$ slave-spin method to find a band insulator with staggered density, a spin-density-wave and a Mott insulating phase. Both the band insulator and the spin-density wave come in various topological varieties. Finally, we calculate the response function relevant for lattice modulation spectroscopy with cold atomic gases in optical lattices.

description: We investigate hp-stabilization for variational inequalities and boundary element methods based on the approach introduced by Barbosa and Hughes for finite elements. Convergence of a stabilized mixed boundary element method is shown for unilateral frictional contact problems for the Lame equation. Without stabilization, this may not converge because the inf-sup constant need not be bounded away from zero for natural discretizations, even for fixed h and p. Both a priori and a posteriori error estimates are presented in the case of Tresca friction, for discretizations based on Bernstein or Gauss-Lobatto-Lagrange polynomials as test and trial functions. We also consider an extension of the a posteriori estimate to Coulomb friction. Numerical experiments underline our theoretical results.

description: Synchrotron emission has recently been detected in the jet of a massive protostar, providing further evidence that certain jet formation characteristics for young stars are similar to those found for highly relativistic jets from AGN. We present data at 325 and 610 MHz taken with the GMRT of the young, low-mass star DG Tau, an analog of the Sun soon after its birth. This is the first investigation of a low-mass YSO at at such low frequencies. We detect emission with a synchrotron spectral index in the proximity of the DG Tau jet and interpret this emission as a prominent bow shock associated with this outflow. This result provides tentative evidence for the acceleration of particles to relativistic energies due to the shock impact of this otherwise very low-power jet against the ambient medium. We calculate the equipartition magnetic field strength (0.11 mG) and particle energy (4x10^40 erg), which are the minimum requirements to account for the synchrotron emission of the DG Tau bow shock. These results suggest the possibility of low energy cosmic rays being generated by young Sun-like stars.

description: Hydroxy genkwanin (HGK), a flavonoid compound from natural resources, showed good inhibition against the growth of breast tumor cells. However, the poor solubility restricted the further study and the in vivo drug delivery of HGK. We prepared HGK nanosuspensions by antisolvent precipitation method and investigated their characterization, stability, hemolysis probability, release behavior in vitro, antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo, and preliminary safety through acute toxicity experiments. The resultant HGK nanosuspensions (HGK-NSps) showed an average diameter of (261.1 ± 4.8 nm), a narrow particle size distribution (PDI of 0.12 ± 0.01), spherical morphology, high drug-loading content (39.9 ± 2.3%, w/w), and good stability in various physiological media. HGK-NSps was safe for intravenous injection at low concentration and HGK was slowly released from the obtained nanosuspensions. HGK-NSps showed stronger cytotoxicity than free HGK against many tumor cells in vitro. Especially against MCF-7 cells, the IC50 value was decreased to 1.0 μg/mL, 5-fold lower than the HGK solution. In the in vivo antitumor activity study HGK-NSps (40 mg/kg) displayed a similar therapeutic effect to that of the paclitaxel injection (8 mg/kg). The preliminary acute toxicity test showed that even at the highest dose of 360 mg/kg (iv), HGK-NSps had 100% of mice survival and all the mice were in a good state, suggesting a maximum tolerated dose more than 360 mg/kg. The effective antitumor effect and good tolerance showed HGK-NSps were likely to become a safe and effective antitumor drug for the treatment of breast cancer in the future.

description: This thesis explores the rationale, processes, and creative stimuli of a cohort of visual artists appropriating 21st century digital technology to fabricate photo crafted imaginary artefacts through the application of 19th century photographic process. My thesis will reconcile a creative component with a written exegesis to illustrate my exploration. In the thesis I summarise a brief history of the contested and overlapping debates opposing scientific objectivity and artistic subjectivity. I examine a variety of topics including materiality as an aesthetic construct, inspired memory, and nostalgia. I also refabricate early experimental photographic processes to explore certain technical and creative practices these artists employed to achieve their artistic objective. This replication and exploration of practice is a key research objective the creative component of my thesis. My inquiry investigates the motivations and sensibilities that inform the artists’ imaginative re-visioning of found and contrived imagery, and the functional relationship between the conceptual origins and their creative realisations. I seek to discover how and why these artists have fused together the infinite creative possibilities presented by the digital domain, with the innate imperfections of antiquated analogue photo/chemical process in both the conception and production of their artwork. My original interest in this question was piqued following a short course in Alternative Photographic practice I undertook at the Australian Centre of Photography in the early 2000s. Together, the research and creative components, will seek to locate and demonstrate this innovative convergence of the hand-made with the digitally fabricated, and how this process has been harnessed to produce imaginative representational artefacts of memory. My thesis focuses specifically on how material process and imagination interface with concepts of representation, and the capacity of digital technology to concoct and motivate meaning. By examining the economy of the exchange between historic Alternative Photographic processes and the seemingly limitless possibilities of digital technology, I develop an understanding of this contemporary artform and of the motivations and practical processes employed by a cohort of practicing visual artists.

description: Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have been synthesized using chain length of (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane for cancer therapy. First, we have developed a layer by layer functionalized with grafting 2,4‐toluene diisocyanate as a bi‐functional covalent linker onto a nano-Fe3O4 support. Then, they were characterized by Fourier transform infrared, X-ray powder diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and VSM techniques. Finally, all nanoparticles with positive or negative surface charges were tested against K562 (myelogenous leukemia cancer) cell lines to demonstrate their therapeutic efficacy by MTT assay test. We found that the higher toxicity of Fe3O4@SiO2@APTS ∼ Schiff base-Cu(II) (IC50: 1000 μg/mL) is due to their stronger in situ degradation, with larger intracellular release of iron ions, as compared to surface passivated NPs. For first time, the molecular dynamic simulations of all compounds were carried out afterwards optimizing using MM+, Semi-empirical (AM1) and Ab-initio (STO-3G), Forcite Gemo Opt, Forcite Dynamics, Forcite Energy and CASTEP in Materials studio 2017. The energy (eV), space group, lattice parameters (Å), unit cell parameters (Å), and electron density of the predicted structures were taken from the CASTEP module of Materials Studio. The docking methods were used to predict the DNA binding affinity, ribonucleotide reductase, and topoisomerase II.

description: Globular Cluster (GC) Color-Magnitude Diagrams (CMDs) are reasonably well understood in terms of standard stellar-evolution. However, there are still some open issues, such as fully accounting for the Horizontal Branch (HB) morphology in terms of chemical and dynamical parameters. Mass-loss on the Red Giant Branch (RGB) shapes the mass-distribution of the HB stars, and the color distribution in turn. The physical mechanisms driving mass-loss are still unclear, as direct observations fail to reveal a clear correlation between mass-loss rate and stellar properties. The horizontal-branch mass-distribution is further complicated by Helium-enhanced multiple stellar populations, because of differences in the evolving mass along the HB. We present a simple analytical mass-loss model, based on tidal stripping through Roche-Lobe OverFlow (RLOF) during stellar encounters. Our model naturally results in a non-gaussian mass-loss distribution, with high skewness, and contains only two free parameters. We fit it to the HB mass distribution of four Galactic GCs, as obtained from fitting the CMD with Zero Age HB (ZAHB) models. The best-fit model accurately reproduces the observed mass-distribution. If confirmed on a wider sample of GCs, our results would account for the effects of dynamics in RGB mass-loss processes and provide a physically motivated procedure for synthetic CMDs of GCs. Our physical modeling of mass-loss may result in the ability to disentangle the effects of dynamics and helium-enhanced multiple-populations on the HB morphology and is instrumental in making HB morphology a probe of the dynamical state of GCs, leading to an improved understanding of their evolution.

Autoresonant control of the magnetization switching in single-domain nanoparticles

description: The ability to control the magnetization switching in nanoscale devices is a crucial step for the development of fast and reliable techniques to store and process information. Here we show that the switching dynamics can be controlled efficiently using a microwave field with slowly varying frequency (autoresonance). This technique allowed us to reduce the applied field by more than $30%$ compared to competing approaches, with no need to fine-tune the field parameters. For a linear chain of nanoparticles the effect is even more dramatic, as the dipolar interactions tend to cancel out the effect of the temperature. Simultaneous switching of all the magnetic moments can thus be efficiently triggered on a nanosecond timescale.

description: The efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents for colon cancer treatment is limited by multidrug resistance (MDR) and insufficient intracellular release of the administered nanomedicine. To overcome these limitations, we constructed a pH/ROS cascade-responsive and self-accelerating drug release nanoparticle system (PLP-NPs) for the treatment of multidrug-resistant colon cancer. The PLP-NPs comprised a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-sensitive polymeric paclitaxel (PTX) prodrug (DEX-TK-PTX), a pH-sensitive poly(l-histidine) (PHis), and beta-lapachone (Lapa), a ROS-generating agent. We found that PLP-NPs could accumulate in tumor tissue through enhancement of the permeability and retention (EPR) effect, and were subsequently internalized by cancer cells via the endocytic pathway. Within the acidic endo-lysosomal environment, PHis protonation facilitated the escape of the PLP-NPs from the lysosome and release of Lapa. The released Lapa generated a large amount of ROS, consumed ATP, and downregulated P-glycoprotein (P-gp) production through the activity of NQO1, an enzyme that is specifically overexpressed in tumor cells. In addition, the generated ROS promoted the release of PTX from DEX-TK-PTX to kill cancer cells, while ATP depletion inhibited P-gp-mediated MDR. In vitro and in vivo experiments subsequently confirmed that PLP-NPs induced tumor-specific cytotoxicity and overcame the MDR of colon cancer. Our findings indicate that the use of the PLP-NPs system represents a promising strategy to counter MDR in the treatment of colon cancer.
Establishing Central School Lunch Kitchens in Urban Areas: Problems and Costs

description: Excerpts from the report Preface: The rapid and continuing expansion of the National School Lunch Program has focused the attention of the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Forestry and the U. S. Department of Agriculture on a problem concerning expansion: How to provide nutritionally adequate noonday lunches under the Program to children in older urban schools where installation of kitchen facilities is not feasible. More than 1.5 million children in metropolitan public schools and almost as many in private schools do not have access to school lunches. Many of these children are from older, congested, low-income neighborhoods where nutritional benefits from expansion of the Program might be greatest. A feasible approach to this problem involves central preparation and distribution of food to individual schools. Therefore, an intensive study was initiated of food service operations in eight diverse school systems utilizing central kitchens. Four forms of Type A lunches meeting Program nutritional requirements were selected for study--plate lunches, tray pack, soup and sandwich, and packaged lunches. This report summarizes information from these operating lunch programs. It was developed to help lunch program supervisors and others evaluate the central kitchen concept in expanding the lunch program to older schools in low-income neighborhoods. It should aid preliminary planning prior to designs for specific individual operations.
