description: The standard Levy walk is performed by a particle that moves ballistically between randomly occurring collisions, when the intercollision time is a random variable governed by a power-law distribution. During instantaneous collision events the particle randomly changes the direction of motion but maintains the same constant speed. We generalize the standard model to incorporate velocity fluctuations into the process. Two types of models are considered, namely, (i) with a walker changing the direction and absolute value of its velocity during collisions only, and (ii) with a walker whose velocity continuously fluctuates. We present full analytic evaluation of both models and emphasize the importance of initial conditions. We show that the type of the underlying Levy walk process can be identified by looking at the ballistic regions of the diffusion profiles. Our analytical results are corroborated by numerical simulations.
Self-assembly of Peptide-Based Materials

description: Nanomaterials made from the self-assembly of peptides have ideal properties for many uses such as medical implants, except that they are easily broken down in the body. This thesis developed methods to use non-natural building blocks to produce a new family of peptide-based nanomaterials via self-assembly. The unique materials can be engineered to give a range of shapes and sizes and importantly are not broken down in the body. These materials therefore provide a new platform for biomedical applications in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and drug delivery.
The Galactic IMF: origin in the combined mass distribution functions of dust grains and gas clouds

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)

description: We present here a theoretical model to account for the stellar IMF as a result of the composite behaviour of the gas and dust distribution functions. Each of these has previously been modelled and the models tested against observations. The model presented here implies a relation between the characteristic size of the dust grains and the characteristic final mass of the stars formed within the clouds containing the grains, folded with the relation between the mass of a gas cloud and the characteristic mass of the stars formed within it. The physical effects of dust grain size are due to equilibrium relations between the efficiency of grains in cooling the clouds, which is a falling function of grain size, and the efficiency of grains in catalyzing the production of molecular hydrogen, which is a rising function of grain size. We show that folding in the effects of grain distribution can yield a reasonable quantitative account of the IMF, while gas cloud mass function alone cannot do so.

Interplay of quantum and classical fluctuations near quantum critical points

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: For a system near a quantum critical point (QCP), above its lower critical dimension $d_L$, there is in general a critical line of second order phase transitions that separates the broken symmetry phase at finite temperatures from the disordered phase. The phase transitions along this line are governed by thermal critical exponents that are different from those associated with the quantum critical point. We point out that, if the effective dimension of the QCP, $d_{eff}=d+z$ ($d$ is the Euclidean dimension of the system and $z$ the dynamic quantum critical exponent) is above its upper critical dimension $d_C$, there is an intermingle of classical (thermal) and quantum critical fluctuations near the QCP. This is due to the breakdown of the generalized scaling relation $ψ=νz$ between the shift exponent $ψ$ of the critical line and the crossover exponent $νz$, for $d+z>d_C$ by a \textit{dangerous irrelevant interaction}. This phenomenon has clear experimental consequences, like the suppression of the amplitude of classical critical fluctuations near the line of finite temperature phase transitions as the critical temperature is reduced approaching the QCP.

description: Carbon Monoxide is a commonly used IR/sub-mm tracer of gas in protoplanetary disks. We present an analysis of ultraviolet CO emission in {HST}-COS spectra for 12 Classical T Tauri stars. Several ro-vibrational bands of the CO A^1Π- X^1Σ^+ (Fourth Positive) electronic transition system are spectrally resolved from emission of other atoms and H_2. The CO A^1Πv'=14 state is populated by absorption of Lyαphotons, created at the accretion column on the stellar surface. For targets with strong CO emission, we model the Lyαradiation field as an input for a simple fluorescence model to estimate CO rotational excitation temperatures and column densities. Typical column densities range from N_{CO} = 10^{18} - 10^{19} cm^{-2}. Our measured excitation temperatures are mostly below T_{CO} = 600 K, cooler than typical M-band CO emission. These temperatures and the emission line widths imply that the UV emission originates in a different population of CO than that which is IR-emitting. We also find a significant correlation between CO emission and the disk accretion rate M_{acc} and age. Our analysis shows that ultraviolet CO emission can be a useful diagnostic of CTTS disk gas.
State/Operator Correspondence in Higher-Spin dS/CFT

description: A recently conjectured microscopic realization of the dS$_4$/CFT$_3$ correspondence relating Vasiliev's higher-spin gravity on dS$_4$ to a Euclidean $Sp(N)$ CFT$_3$ is used to illuminate some previously inaccessible aspects of the dS/CFT dictionary. In particular it is argued that states of the boundary CFT$_3$ on $S^2$ are holographically dual to bulk states on geodesically complete, spacelike $R^3$ slices which terminate on an $S^2$ at future infinity. The dictionary is described in detail for the case of free scalar excitations. The ground states of the free or critical $Sp(N)$ model are dual to dS-invariant plane-wave type vacua, while the bulk Euclidean vacuum is dual to a certain mixed state in the CFT$_3$. CFT$_3$ states created by operator insertions are found to be dual to (anti) quasinormal modes in the bulk. A norm is defined on the $R^3$ bulk Hilbert space and shown for the scalar case to be equivalent to both the Zamolodchikov and pseudounitary C-norm of the $Sp(N)$ CFT$_3$.

description: We employ the exact diagonalization method to analyze the possibility of generating strongly correlated states in two-dimensional clouds of ultracold bosonic atoms which are subjected to a geometric gauge field created by coupling two internal atomic states to a laser beam. Tuning the gauge field strength, the system undergoes stepwise transitions between different ground states, which we describe by analytical trial wave functions, amongst them the Pfaffian, the Laughlin, and a Laughlin quasiparticle many-body state. The adiabatic following of the center of mass movement by the lowest energy dressed internal state, is lost by the mixing of the second internal state. This mixture can be controlled by the intensity of the laser field. The non-adiabaticity is inherent to the considered setup, and is shown to play the role of circular asymmetry. We study its influence on the properties of the ground state of the system. Its main effect is to reduce the overlap of the numerical solutions with the analytical trial expressions by occupying states with higher angular momentum. Thus, we propose generalized wave functions arising from the Laughlin and Pfaffian wave function by including components, where extra Jastrow factors appear, while preserving important features of these states. We analyze quasihole excitations over the Laughlin and generalized Laughlin states, and show that they possess effective fractional charge and obey anyonic statistics. Finally, we study the energy gap over the Laughlin state as the number of particles is increased keeping the chemical potential fixed. The gap is found to decrease as the number of particles is increased, indicating that the observability of the Laughlin state is restricted to a small number of particles.

description: We study the temporal evolution of a central spin-1/2 (qubit) coupled to the environment which is chosen to be a spin-1/2 transverse XY spin chain. We explore the entire phase diagram of the spin-Hamiltonian and investigate the behavior of Loschmidt echo(LE) close to critical and multicritical point(MCP). To achieve this, the qubit is coupled to the spin chain through the anisotropy term as well as one of the interaction terms. Our study reveals that the echo has a faster decay with the system size (in the short time limit) close to a MCP and also the scaling obeyed by the quasiperiod of the collapse and revival of the LE is different in comparison to that close to a QCP. We also show that even when approached along the gapless critical line, the scaling of the LE is determined by the MCP where the energy gap shows a faster decay with the system size. This claim is verified by studying the short-time and also the collapse and revival behavior of the LE at a quasicritical point on the ferromagnetic side of the MCP. We also connect our observation to the decoherence of the central spin.

description: This thesis examines how diet connects our commensal gut bacteria to host physiology and the immune system. Gut bacteria, or the gut microbiota, can break down dietary fibre into short-chain fatty acids (SCFA). SCFA can influence the response of the immune system by binding to receptors such as GPR43 and GPR109A. Activation of these receptors were found to be important in regulating gut epithelial response as well as gut immune cell responses, required for protecting against models of human inflammatory bowel disease and against food allergy.

description: ISICS, originally a C language program for calculating K-, L- and M-shell ionization and X-ray production cross sections from ECPSSR and PWBA theory, has been reengineered into a C++ language class, named ISICSoo. The new software design enables the use of ISICS functionality in other software systems. The code, originally developed for Microsoft Windows operating systems, has been ported to Linux and Mac OS platforms to facilitate its use in a wider scientific environment. The reengineered software also includes some fixes to the original implementation, which ensure more robust computational results and a review of some physics parameters used in the computation. The paper describes the software design and the modifications to the implementation with respect to the previous version; it also documents the test process and provides some indications about the software performance.

Structural and Functional Analysis of Interleukin-37 Signalling

Publisher: name: Monash University

Subjects: Biochemistry

description: The interleukin-1 family of cytokines are typically pro-inflammatory proteins that work together to regulate host defence. Interleukin-37 is a recently identified cytokine that is different from its other family members, since it is a broad-spectrum inhibitor of inflammation. We solved its structure at high resolution and discovered that it had a unique conformation compared to other family members. Structure-guided mutational analysis enabled generation of different forms of interleukin-37. These forms exhibited increased anti-inflammatory activity in collaborative cell-based assays and mice models compared to wild-type. These results suggest interleukin-37 and its mutants could be key targets for therapeutic development.

description: Recently, many experiments with cold atomic gases have been conducted from interest in the non-equilibrium dynamics of correlated quantum systems. Of these experiments, the mixing dynamics of fermion clusters motivates us to research cluster-cluster collision dynamics in one-dimensional Fermi systems. We adopt the one-dimensional Fermi-Hubbard model and apply the time-dependent density matrix renormalization group method. We simulate collisions between two fermion clusters of spin-up and spin-down, and calculate reflectance of the clusters R changing the particle number in each cluster and the interaction strength between two fermions with up and down spins. We also evaluate the quasi-classical (independent collision) reflectance R^{qc} to compare it with R. The quasi-classical picture is quantitatively valid in the limit of weak interaction, but it is not valid when interaction is strong.

Understanding and Enhancing Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes Function for Anti-Viral Immunity
Creators: name: Yew Ann Leong
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Chronic infections, such as those caused by chronic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) hepatitis B virus (HBV), and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), are global epidemics that lead to life-long diseases and impose significant health burdens. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) are a population of adaptive immune cells specialized in cytolysis of infected cells. However, CTLs fail to eliminate chronic infections in majority of cases. There are several mechanisms by which these viruses evade eradication by CTLs. One of the mechanisms commonly used by both HIV and EBV is to 'hide' inside B cell follicles in secondary lymphoid organs which contain fewer CTLs. Another strategy is to induce the exhaustion of T cells, a phenomenon which significantly reduces the CTL’s capability to eliminate viral infections. This thesis aims to tackle the chronic infections from these two angles. The thesis consists of two parts. In the first part, I describe a novel population of CTLs that are able to migrate into B cell follicles and control infections therein. In the second part, I characterised a novel monoclonal antibody that potentiates the bioactivity of an immunostimulatory cytokine, interleukin-21 (IL-21), which boosted the number and cytotoxicity of CTLs. Enhancing the follicular entry and cytotoxic activity of CTLs provide feasible therapeutic approaches to reduce viral infections, which may eventually lead to the elimination of chronic infections such as HIV, HBV and EBV.

description: We present empirical relations between the global dust reddening and other physical galaxy properties including the Halpha luminosity, Halpha surface brightness, metallicity and axial ratio for star-forming disc galaxies. The study is based on a large sample of ~22 000 well-defined star-forming galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The reddening parameterized by color excess E(B-V) is derived from the Balmer decrement. Besides the dependency of reddening on Halpha luminosity / surface brightness and gas phase metallicity, it is also correlated with the galaxy inclination, in the sense that edge-on galaxies are more attenuated than face-on galaxies at a give intrinsic luminosity. In light of these correlations, we present the empirical formulae of E(B-V) as a function of these galaxy properties, with a scatter of only 0.07 mag. The empirical relation can be reproduced if most dust attenuation to the HII region is due to diffuse interstellar dust distributing in a disc thicker than that of HII regions. The empirical formulae can be incorporated into semi-analytical models of galaxy formation and evolution to estimate the dust reddening and enable comparison with observations more practically.

description: We obtain the conditions necessary for the emergence of various low temperature ordered states (local moment antiferromagnetism, unconventional superconductivity, quantum criticality, and Landau Fermi liquid behavior) in Kondo lattice materials by extending the two-fluid phenomenological theory of heavy electron behavior to incorporate the concept of hybridization effectiveness. We use this expanded framework to present a new phase digram and consistent physical explanation and quantitative description of measured emergent behaviors such as the pressure variation of the onset of local moment antiferromagnetic ordering at T_N, the magnitude of the ordered moment, the growth of superconductivity within that ordered state, the location of a quantum critical point, and of a delocalization line in the pressure/temperature phase diagram at which local moments have disappeared and the heavy electron Fermi surface has grown to its maximum size. We apply our model to CeRhIn_5 and a number of other heavy electron materials and find good agreement with experiment.

description: If a Higgs field is conformally coupled to gravity, then it can give rise to the scale invariant density perturbations. We make use of this result in a realistic inert Higgs doublet model, where we have a pair of Higgs doublets conformally coupled to the gravity in the early universe. The perturbation of the inert Higgs is shown to be the scale invariant. This gives rise to the density perturbation observed through CMB by its couplings to the standard model Higgs and the subsequent decay. Loop corrections of this conformally coupled system gives rise to electroweak symmetry breaking. We constrain the couplings of the scalar potential by comparing with the amplitude and spectrum of CMB anisotropy measured by WMAP and this model leads to a prediction for the masses of the lightest Higgs and the other scalars.

description: An outstanding idea originally introduced by Greenberg is to investigate whether there is equivalence between intermediate statistics, which may be different from anyonic statistics, and q-deformed particle algebra. Also, a model to be studied for addressing such an idea could possibly provide us some new consequences about the interactions of particles as well as their internal structures. Motivated mainly by this idea, in this work, we consider a q-deformed Fermi gas model whose statistical properties enable effectively us to study interpolating statistics. Starting with a generalized Fermi-Dirac distribution function, we derive several thermostatistical functions of a gas of these deformed fermions in the thermodynamical limit. We study the high temperature behavior of the system by analyzing the effects of q-deformation on the most important thermostatistical characteristics of the system such as the entropy, specific heat, and equation of state. It is shown that such a deformed fermion model in two and three spatial dimensions exhibits the interpolating statistics in a specific interval of the model deformation parameter 0 < q < 1. In particular, for two and three spatial dimensions, it is found from the behavior of the third virial coefficient of the model that the deformation parameter q interpolates completely between attractive and repulsive systems, including the free boson and fermion cases. From the results obtained in this work, we conclude that such a model could provide much physical insight into some interacting theories of fermions, and could be useful to further study the particle systems with intermediate statistics.

title: Charting the Digital Lifespan Work Package 1 Interview Guides: Digital Experience at Life Transitions 2
Creators: name: Orzech, Kathryn
name: Moncur, Wendy
Publisher: name: University of Dundee
Year: 2015

description: This file includes the interview guides from the EPSRC-funded Charting the Digital Lifespan project [PI: Moncur. EPSRC Reference EP/L00383X/1]. This project investigated digital personhood and digital experience at the life transitions of leaving secondary school, becoming a parent, and retiring from work in the UK.

This file contains three Interview guides, used to structure interviews with individuals at each life transition point. The guides set out questions and also notes (including types of internet activity to ask interviewees about) and were used between December 2013 and December 2014. Individuals interested in similar topics may feel free to use the interview guides as a starting point for developing their own interviews, or to use questions contained herein as part of their own interview guide or questionnaire.

The broad topics covered by these interview guides include, at each life transition: enablement through digital, digital social norms, privacy and security, permanence of data, devices and platforms, nostalgia, modes of communication, expressions of self, digital literacy, time online, media forms, and physical and digital links.

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Maser emission plays an important role as a tool in star formation studies. It is widely used for deriving kinematics, as well as the physical conditions of different structures, hidden in the dense environment very close to the young stars, for example associated with the onset of jets and outflows. We will summarize the recent observational and theoretical progress on this topic since the last maser symposium: the IAU Symposium 242 in Alice Springs.

title: The merchant city : a study in townscape and revitalisation
Creators: name: Stewart, Graham
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 1986

description: Glasgow is currently the scene of much change. This change has come in the form of many schemes and projects intended to revitalise the city centre - both physically and economically. The Merchant City Project is such a scheme. The aims behind the project are basically three-fold 1) A desire to attract people back into the city centre; 2) To stimulate economic activity in a run-down and depressed area; and 3) To retain and enhance the physical character of the area by re-using the existing buildings and complimenting these with sympathetic new build developments. With these aims in mind, the dissertation attempts to highlight the factors which led to the instigation of the Merchant City Project. Thus the history of the area is detailed focussing on the development of the townscape. This issue of townscape is considered very important to the area and because of this the philosophies behind conservation are discussed and the difficulties of achieving satisfactory new build schemes to compliment the older buildings are outlined. Conservation and new build are essentially a part of the more complex process of urban regeneration. The development of the processes of urban renewal and regeneration are outlined and this leads to a discussion on the Merchant City and what is happening in the area at present. It is here that the two main themes of townscape and regeneration are brought together. The aims of the bodies and agencies involved in the project are brought into question, as is the way they desire the image of the Merchant City to be promoted. To discover public opinion, an empirical study was undertaken. This deals with the differing perceptions of two groups towards the Merchant City. The results form the basis for the conclusions along with the research connected with what is occurring in the area today. In this way it is hoped that the dissertation will give a clear picture of the Merchant City Project; how it was instigated; the developments as yet undertaken along with future proposals; the ideals behind the scheme and how these ideals are faring as the project develops.
Peierls Distortion and Quantum Solitons
Creators: name: Marletto, Chiara

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Peierls distortion and quantum solitons are two hallmarks of 1-dimensional condensed-matter systems. Here we propose a quantum model for a one-dimensional system of non-linearly interacting electrons and phonons, where the phonons are represented via coherent states. This model permits a unified description of Peierls distortion and quantum solitons. The non-linear electron-phonon interaction and the resulting deformed symmetry of the Hamiltonian are distinctive features of the model, of which that of Su, Schrieffer and Heeger can be regarded as a special case.
Biophysics of risk aversion based on neurotransmitter receptor theory
Creators: name: Takahashi, Taiki
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Biological Physics (physics.bio-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Decision under risk and uncertainty has been attracting attention in neuroeconomics and neuroendocrinology of decision-making. This paper demonstrated that the neurotransmitter receptor theory-based value (utility) function can account for human and animal risk-taking behavior. The theory predicts that (i) when dopaminergic neuronal response is efficiently coupled to the formation of ligand-receptor complex, subjects are risk-aversive (irrespective of their satisfaction level) and (ii) when the coupling is inefficient, subjects are risk-seeking at low satisfaction levels, consistent with risk-sensitive foraging theory in ecology. It is further suggested that some anomalies in decision under risk are due to inefficiency of the coupling between dopamine receptor activation and neuronal response. Future directions in the application of the model to studies in neuroeconomics of addiction and neuroendocrine modulation of risk-taking behavior are discussed.

The Infrared Luminosity Function Of Galaxies

Luminosity function

description: We used spectroscopic data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and photometric data from the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) to create a luminosity function of almost 200,000 galaxies in the WISE1 (W1) 3.4-micron band. This was made possible by the high- signal-to-noise ratios of WISE data, which allowed us to create a luminosity function which depended on only the selection function in SDSS. We compared these results with the r0:1-band luminosity function to nd that there is a signicantly higher luminosity density in the W1- band, with \(\mathit{j} \approx 6.605 X 10^8h L_\bigodot \mathrm{Mpc} ^{-3}\) in the infrared W1-band and \(\mathit{j} \approx 1.75 X 10^8h L_\bigodot \mathrm{Mpc} ^{-3}\) in the optical \(r^{0.1}\)-band. Young, massive stars emit most of their light in optical wavelengths, but contain only a small amount of a galaxy's stellar mass, contributing a disproportionate amount of light to stellar mass. As a result, the W1-band allows us to get a better estimate of the overall stellar mass, since the galaxy luminosity function in the infrared and near-infrared is less sensitive to recent star formation histories and extinction due to interstellar dust. The color-magnitude diagrams from both bandpasses indicate that the most luminous galaxies are also redder in color.
