description: The formation and abundance of primordial black holes (PBHs) arising from the curvature perturbation $ζ$ is studied. The non-linear relation between $ζ$ and the density contrast $δ$ means that, even when $ζ$ has an exactly Gaussian distribution, significant non-Gaussianities affecting PBH formation must be considered. Numerical simulations are used to investigate the critical value and the mass of PBHs which form, and peaks theory is used to calculate the mass fraction of the universe collapsing to form PBHs at the time of formation. A formalism to calculate the total present day PBH abundance and mass function is also derived. It is found that the abundance of PBHs is very sensitive to the non-linear effects, and that the power spectrum $\mathcal{P}_ζ$ must be a factor of $\sim2$ larger to produce the same number of PBHs as the linear model (where the exact value depends on the critical value for a region to collapse and form a PBH). This also means that the derived constraints on the small-scale power spectrum from constraints on the abundance of PBHs are weaker by the same factor.

description: We consider first a homogeneous fiber bundle model where all the fibers have got the same stress threshold beyond which all fail simultaneously in absence of noise. At finite noise, the bundle acquires a fatigue behavior due to the noise-induced failure probability at any stress. We solve this dynamics of failure analytically and show that the average failure time of the bundle decreases exponentially as the stress increases. We also determine the avalanche size distribution during such failure and find a power law decay. We compare this fatigue behavior with that obtained phenomenologically for the nucleation of Griffith cracks. Next we study numerically the fatigue behavior of random fiber bundles having simple distributions of individual fiber strengths, at stress less than the bundle's strength (beyond which it fails instantly). The average failure time is again seen to decrease exponentially as the stress increases and the avalanche size distribution shows similar power law decay. These results are also in broad agreement with experimental observations on fatigue in solids. We believe, these observations regarding the failure time are useful for quantum breakdown phenomena in disordered systems.

description: The plasma membrane is a vital cellular structure providing the interface for cells to either send or receive vital signals to and from their environments respectively. Exocytosis is the mechanism by which secretory vesicles fuse with the plasma membrane to release their contents into the extracellular space. This mechanism underpins neuronal communication through the release of neurotransmitters. In response to vesicular fusion, the plasma membrane responds promptly by retrieving an equal surface of the plasma membrane back into the cell by inward invagination and fission, a process called compensatory endocytosis. Exo- and endocytosis is invariably linked and tight regulation of the organisation of the plasma membrane is required to facilitate these coupled mechanisms with nanosecond precision. Exocytosis relies on a set of key proteins, primarily, soluble N-ethylmaleimide sensitive-factor attachment receptor (SNARE) proteins, syntaxin1, SNAP-25 found at the plasma membrane and VAMP2 found at the vesicle membrane. Their formation into the SNARE complex, critical for synaptic vesicle fusion with the synaptic vesicle membrane, is controlled by a set of accessory proteins including Munc18-1 and the actin cytoskeleton. Recent advances in microscopy approaches have allowed us to investigate the spatiotemporal dynamics of key proteins behaviour during exo and endocytosis with increasing resolution. More specifically, the goal of this thesis is to elucidate the contribution of various synaptic proteins at the plasma membrane during exo- and endocytosis, with particular emphasis the remodelling of the actin cytoskeleton and the plasma membrane. This thesis comprises a set of published works under the theme of neuroscience, cell biology and microscopy approaches to uncover the role of key proteins in exocytosis and endocytosis. My contribution to the field is evidenced by three peer-reviewed papers that uncover the roles of key accessory proteins, Dynamin, Munc-18-1 and signalling receptors that promote plasma membrane and cytoskeletal remodelling. The development of advanced microscopy technologies and analysis methods throughout this thesis have provided a solid framework on which to uncover the nanoscale dynamics of exo- and endocytic processes.

description: The Asgaard project stresses the issue of time-oriented, skeletal planning, primarily in the medical domain. We try to support therapy planning by adding computer-aided quality assessment, plan validation and other high-level tasks to the field of planning in real-world environment. Key component is a descriptive plan representation language, called Asbru to enable the acquisition of computer readable medical guidelines. The research question of the Ph.D. student thesis is to prove a basic assumption of the project, that the use of Asbru and computer support is helpful in a real-world, time- oriented planning situation. The idea behind is to connect scientific concepts to the intended real-world target environment. A comparison with the usefulness of related modeling techniques, like workflow-process modeling, will be performed.

description: Innovation is essential for growth, yet can be difficult to achieve due to the associated cost and risk. As such, organizations earnestly seek to adopt practices that positively impact innovation outcomes and improve innovation team effectiveness. Existing research has shown that team learning is an important enabler of innovation and that Agile software development practices have distinct advantages over traditional methods. However, little is understood about the learning dynamics of Agile teams, particularly in an innovation context where teams are focused on creating new product and technology solutions. This qualitative multiple case study explored the perceptions of software development teams at two leading organizations in the HealthTech and InsureTech industries, in order to gain a deeper understanding of and expand what is known about how Agile teams learn and how they leverage learning to innovate. Participating teams were engaged in innovation work and used Agile methods to co-create solutions with customers. The study used multiple data collection methods, incorporated cross-team/cross-case analyses, and featured an integrated theoretical framework based on three team learning models: Dechant, Marsick & Kasl (1993), Edmondson (1999), and Decuyper, Dochy & Van den Bossche (2010). Research results revealed that Agile teams learn informally, incidentally, and synergistically through eight dynamic, learning-rich, practice-driven experiences and that specific team learning behaviors and team innovative work behaviors that foster innovation are quite prevalent on Agile teams. Results also demonstrated that Agile values, principles, and practices shape and support team learning by creating a team-centered learning culture which facilitates collective thinking and action. This study sets forth a new understanding of Agile practice-driven experiences as learning-centered work and demonstrates how large-scale Agile transformation helped to facilitate the reskilling and upskilling of experienced adult learners. It also emphasizes the importance of strategically leveraging Agile team learning at both the team and organizational levels and provides specific recommendations for research and practice. Empirical insights from this study can prove valuable for leaders and organizations employing Agile methods, as well as researchers and educators engaged in the advancement of innovation practice, workplace learning and technology workforce education.

Cytoskeleton

description: The aging process is unforgiving, targeting a decline in cellular function. Originally, the actin cytoskeleton has not been defined as a hallmark of aging biology, however, numerous studies provide evidence that actin cytoskeleton integrity is declining with age. Mammalian cells express an aged-linked decline in their actin dynamics, consequently defecting their migratory movements, immunological synapse formation, and phagocytosis. Overall, suggesting actin integrity is specifically targeted by aging. Despite the substantial evidence, the underlying mechanism remains elusive, however, current research indicates actin stability as a possible mechanistic aging target. Therefore, our research goal is to further elucidate the mechanism for actin cytoskeleton aging biology in a streamlined model organism, budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here, we use aging enrichment protocols, streptavidin affinity purification, to isolate a population of older cells to examine any changes in the actin cytoskeleton with age. With an isolated aging population, we analyzed the actin cytoskeleton by testing its stability against a destabilizing drug, Lat-A, and morphology with imaging analysis. We find significant age-associated changes in the actin cytoskeleton, which we later conclude may be a consequence of the age-linked decline in the actin stability that we identified in an aging cell. Additionally, we uncovered a perplexing finding that there is an age-linked decline in actin cable bundling. How actin stability effects actin cable bundling, remains to be determined. However, our actin stability model was further supported by our research characterizing an open reading frame, YKL075C, as a novel actin cable regulatory protein whose deletion: increased actin cable stability, abundance, and mitochondrial quality to extend the replicative lifespan. Upon further insight into YKL075C underlying mechanism, we find YKL075C effects on actin stability and morphology is dependent on alterations in branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism. Overall, our research discovered a novel actin regulatory protein, Ykl075cp, whose actin function is dependent on BCAA homeostasis, and deleting specifically YKL075C reduces BCAA levels that subsequently increases actin cable stability and abundance to enhance mitochondrial quality and extends longevity.

description: Objectives: The purpose of this study is to advance the understanding of secondary conditions experienced by persons aging with the long-term disabilities of polio and rheumatoid arthritis and the consequences of these declines in health and function on disability bed days. Additionally, it explores the effects of the timing and severity of onset of disability characteristics on the frequency and consequences of secondary conditions. A life course conceptual framework with the Institute of Medicine’s model of disablement is used to frame and anchor disability and life events. Methods: In-depth structured in-home interviews were conducted on 216 individuals with polio and 186 individuals with rheumatoid arthritis. They consisted of objective and subjective self-reports of current status and prior condition. The survey was a regional crosssectional, group comparison design with a cross-sequential sampling and data analytic framework. Scale development for data reduction was utilized to obtain parsimonious measures for the models. Linear regression was then performed to test the models for three outcome variables (number of chronic secondary conditions, increases in functional limitations and number of disability bed days in six months) in a theorized order for the polio and RA samples individually. Results: There was partial support for within-sample hypotheses for both polio and rheumatoid arthritis regarding interrelationships and disability bed days in past six months. No significant differences were found across subsamples for the effects of timing and severity of onset of disability characteristics, predicting chronic secondary conditions, predicting increase in functional limitations, and the number of disability bed days in six months. Similarities were found between the two samples when examining subgroup predictors on the three outcomes above. Chronic secondary conditions predicted (p

description: I apply the set-up of Lax-Phillips Scattering Theory to a non-archimedean local field. It is possible to choose the outgoing space and the incoming space to be Fourier transforms of each other. Key elements of the Lax-Phillips theory are seen to make sense and to have the expected interrelations: the scattering matrix S, the projection K to the interacting space, the contraction semi-group Z and the time delay operator T. The scattering matrix is causal, its analytic continuation has the expected poles and zeros, and its phase derivative is the (non-negative) spectral function of T, which is also the restriction to the diagonal of the kernel of K. The contraction semi-group Z is related to S (and T) through a trace formula. Introducing an odd-even grading on the interacting space allows to express the Weil local explicit formula in terms of a ``supertrace''. I also apply my methods to the evaluation of a trace considered by Connes.

description: Segregation to grain boundaries affects their cohesion, corrosion and embrittlement and plays a critical role in heterogeneous nucleation. In order to quantitatively study segregation and phase separation at grain boundaries, we derive a density-based phase-field model. In this model, we describe the grain boundary free energy based on available bulk thermodynamic data while an atomic grain boundary density is obtained using atomistic simulations. To benchmark the performance of the model, we study Mn grain boundary segregation in the Fe--Mn system. 3D simulation results are compared against atom probe tomography measurements. We show that a continuous increase in the alloy composition results in a discontinuous jump in the Mn grain boundary segregation. This jump corresponds to an interfacial spinodal phase separation. For alloy compositions above the interfacial spinodal, we found a transient spinodal phase separation phenomenon which opens opportunities for knowledge-based microstructure design through the chemical manipulation of grain boundaries. The proposed density-based model provides a powerful tool to study thermodynamics and kinetics of segregation and phase separation at grain boundaries.

description: The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate if the elderly population of Guryong Village is receiving adequate provision of services to mitigate their resettlement process. Located in Seoul, South Korea, Guryong Village is the last illegal shantytown in the city that has survived a tumultuous history of aggressive urbanization policies. Although the squatter community has been under development pressure ever since the turn of the 21st century, the Seoul Metropolitan Government finally made a public announcement of its proposal for redevelopment in 2011. The issue at hand, however, is not only the threat of displacement for current residents, but also that the majority of the Guryong population are senior citizens of low socioeconomic status. Recognizing that persons of older age require more proactive and committed policy interventions, this thesis highlights: first, if the elderly population of Guryong Village is receiving adequate provision of services, and second, if the government has communicated and provided additional services to facilitate their relocation process. Findings indicated that senior citizens of the shantytown were generally content with the current living conditions and services available to them. Moreover, majority of interview participants either did not want a redevelopment or were not aware of the project at all. Thus, this study recommends that the urban planners first, proactively inform elders regarding the redevelopment; second, establish settings for storytelling that encourage active participation; third, extend current services to the resettlement process; and fourth, consolidate stability post-development.
      In the midst of two paramount demographic shifts happening on a global scale, namely rapid urbanization and growth of the ageing population, this research intends to inform future urban planners how to assess the changing circumstances and consequent needs of the elderly in an urban environment.

description: The boundary integral method for calculating the stationary states of a quantum particle in nano-devices and quantum billiards is presented in detail at an elementary level. According to the method, wave functions inside the domain of the device or billiard are expressed in terms of line integrals of the wave function and its normal derivative along the domain's boundary; the respective energy eigenvalues are obtained as the roots of Fredholm determinants. Numerical implementations of the method are described and applied to determine the energy level statistics of billiards with circular and stadium shapes and demonstrate the quantum mechanical characteristics of chaotic motion. The treatment of other examples as well as the advantages and limitations of the boundary integral method are discussed.

description: A parametric study of an underwater pulsed plasma discharge in pin-to-pin electrode configuration has been performed. The influence of two parameters has been reported, the water conductivity (from 50 to 500 $μ$S/cm) and the applied voltage (from 6 to 16 kV). Two complementary diagnostics, time resolved refractive index-based techniques and electrical measurements have been performed in order to study the discharge propagation and breakdown phenomena in water according to the two parameters. A single high voltage of duration between 100 $μ$S and 1 ms is applied between two 100 $μ$m diameter platinum tips separated by 2 mm and immersed in the aqueous solution. This work, which provides valuable complementary results of paper [1], is of great interest to better understand the mechanisms of initiation and propagation of pin-to-pin discharge in water. For low conductivity (from 50 to 100 $μ$S/cm) results have confirmed two regimes of discharge (cathode and anode) and the increase of the applied voltage first makes the breakdown more achievable and then favors the apparition of the anode regime. For 500 $μ$S/cm results have highlighted cathode regime for low applied voltage but a mixed regime (anode and cathode) for high applied voltage.

 Diagnosis
 The diagnosis for Alcalinae is the same as for the genus Alcalus, below.
 Phylogenetic definition
 We have not defined Alcalinae as a phylogenetic name because it would be redundant with Alcalus; it adds no new information about phylogenetic relationships. However, we name the ranked subfamily Alcalinae, even though it is also redundant in content with Alcalus, to provide a coordinate name for its sister-taxon Ceratobatrachinae.
 Content
 One genus, Alcalus, which includes the species Al. mariae, Al. baluensis, and Al. rajae. We anticipate that Ingerana sariba eventually will be transferred to the new genus as well.

description: The present study deals with a non-native amino acid, cis-4-hydroxy-d-proline (CHDP) using density functional theory at B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) level. The potential energy surface scan reveals the global minimum structure of CHDP along with two potential conformers. Highest occupied molecular orbital, lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, and molecular electrostatic potential surfaces are used to explain the chemical reactivity of title molecule. The atomic charge analysis has been carried out using Mulliken and natural population schemes. The equilibrium geometry of CHDP dimer has been obtained and inter-molecular interactions are explored using QTAIM and Natural bonding orbital analyses. Vibrational spectroscopic analysis has been performed on CHDP monomer and dimer at the same level of theory. Assignments to all vibrational modes up to 400 cm−1 have been offered along with their potential energy distribution to the maximum possible accuracy. The calculated frequencies are scaled by an equation, rather than by a constant factor and then compared with experimental FT-IR frequencies obtained by KBr disc and Nujol mull techniques. A number of electronic and thermodynamic parameters have also been evaluated for CHDP monomer and dimer.

description: We present a sample of supernovae Type IIn (SNe IIn) from the untargeted, magnitude-limited surveys of the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) and its successor, the intermediate PTF (iPTF). The SNe IIn found and followed by the PTF/iPTF were used to select a sample of 42 events with useful constraints on the rise times as well as with available post-peak photometry. The sample SNe were discovered in 2009-2016 and have at least one low-resolution classification spectrum, as well as photometry from the P48 and P60 telescopes at Palomar Observatory. We study the light-curve properties of these SNe IIn using spline fits (for the peak and the declining portion) and template matching (for the rising portion). We find that the typical rise times are divided into fast and slow risers at $20\pm6$ d and $50\pm11$ d, respectively. The decline rates are possibly divided into two clusters, but this division has weak statistical significance. We find no significant correlation between the peak luminosity of SNe IIn and their rise times, but the more luminous SNe IIn are generally found to be more long-lasting. Slowly rising SNe IIn are generally found to decline slowly. The SNe in our sample were hosted by galaxies of absolute magnitude $-22 \lesssim M_g \lesssim -13$ mag. The K-corrections at light-curve peak of the SNe IIn in our sample are found to be within 0.2 mag for the observer's frame $r$-band, for SNe at redshifts $z < 0.25$. By applying K-corrections and also including ostensibly "superluminous" SNe IIn, we find that the peak magnitudes are $M_{\rm peak}^{r} = -19.18\pm1.32$ mag. We conclude that the occurrence of conspicuous light-curve bumps in SNe IIn, such as in iPTF13z, are limited to $1.4^{+14.6}_{-1.0} \%$ of the SNe IIn. We also investigate a possible sub-type of SNe IIn with a fast rise to a $\gtrsim 50$ d plateau followed by a slow, linear decline.

description: The focus of this PhD project is on the experiences of Filipino migrant musicians who perform cover music in key cities in Australia – Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and the Gold Coast. My research addresses the issues of identity, musicality and translocality as these relate to Filipino musicians who migrate to Australia. In particular, the research is interested in understanding how Filipino musicians carry out their identity and musicality (attributes that make them good cover artists, performers or musicians) as migrants, and how this is integrated with labour (music performance as a commodity or with commercial value) and/or creativity (music performance as artistic or aesthetic output). I also aim to understand the ways in which they negotiate their position within the Australian music ecosystem as cover musicians. This project situates the musical practices and identities of Filipino musicians in cultural sociology and popular music literature as well as in the context of the Australian cultural and creative industries. Moreover, this research also analyses the transnationality of Filipino migrant musicians and how their circumstances affect their musical practices and experiences as (labour) migrants in Australia. To conduct the research, I utilised qualitative research methods such as interviews and participant observation. To apply such methods in a more contextualised discussion, I used a localised in-depth interview (pakikipagkuwentuhan) and participant observation (pakikilahok), ensuring that my positionalities as Filipino, musician and migrant would remain front and centre in this research.

description: The influence of hypersonic waves excited in a single crystal is investigated on the process of electron-positron pair creation by high-energy photons. The coherent part of the corresponding differential cross-section is derived as a function of the amplitude and wave number of the hypersound. The values of the parameters are specified for which the latter affects remarkably on the pair creation cross-section. It is shown that under certain conditions the presence of hypersonic waves can result in enhancement of the process cross-section.

description: The main objective of this work is to establish and interpret the dominant spectral components and their differences in radio-loud (RL) and radio-quiet (RQ) AGN with very massive black holes, and accreting at moderate rates. Such a sample is selected from the \textit{Swift}/BAT catalogue of AGN having determined optical spectra types and hosting black holes with masses $\rm > 10^{8.5}\,M_{\odot}$. We confirm our previous results, that radio loudness distribution of \textit{Swift}/BAT AGN is bimodal and that radio galaxies are about two times X-ray louder than their radio-quiet counterparts. We show that the average X-ray loudness (defined as a ratio of luminosity in the $14-195$ keV band to that at 12 $μ$m) of Type 1 and Type 2 AGN is very similar. This similarity holds for both RL and RQ subsamples and indicates negligible dependence of the observed X-ray luminosities on the inclination angle in both populations. In both the radiative output is dominated by mid-IR and hard X-ray components, and relatively weak UV luminosities indicate large amounts of dust in polar regions.

description: CERATOBATRACHINAE BOULENGER, 1884   Diagnosis
 Other species of Ceratobatrachinae differ from Alcalus by having (1) a relatively narrow head (vs. wide); and (2) smooth skin, with or without dermal tubercles and/ or dermal ridges (vs. coarsely textured, shagreened, or ‘wrinkled’ in appearance); (3) rounded terminal toe discs (vs. spatulate toe discs with squarish terminal shape); (4) absence of nuptial pads in males (vs. presence); (5) presence of a medial subgular vocal sac in most species (vs. absence); (6) presence of palmar supernumerary tubercles (vs. absence); and (7) presence of rounded subarticular tubercles and outer metatarsal tubercles on plantar surface (vs. presence, elongate). Finally, most species of Ceratobatrachinae (except Cornufer guppyi, species of the subgenus Potamorana, and Platymantis levigatus) differ from Alcalus by the absence of interdigital webbing on the feet (vs. presence); and by having terrestrial or arboreal microhabitat preferences (vs. semiaquatic). Morphological synapomorphies for Ceratobatrachinae have not been identified.

 Comment
 We have not converted Ceratobatrachinae (Clade D) to a clade name, but have instead coined a new unranked clade name, Anurajen. If Ceratobatrachinae were converted to a clade name, and if the family Ceratobatrachidae (Node B) were re-ranked as Ceratobatrachinae in the future, then the phylogenetic name Ceratobatrachinae and the ranked name Ceratobatrachinae would refer to different clades, which would cause confusion. Therefore, we define a new clade name below denoting the same clade as the subfamily Ceratobatrachinae.

description: The accurate and reliable description of measurement devices is a central problem in both observing uniquely non-classical behaviors and realizing quantum technologies from powerful computing to precision metrology. To date quantum tomography is the prevalent tool to characterize quantum detectors. However, such a characterization relies on accurately characterized probe states, rendering reliability of the characterization lost in circular argument. Here we report a self-characterization method of quantum measurements based on reconstructing the response range, the entirety of attainable measurement outcomes, eliminating the reliance on known states. We characterize two representative measurements implemented with photonic setups and obtain fidelities above 99.99% with the conventional tomographic reconstructions. This initiates range-based techniques in characterizing quantum systems and foreshadows novel device-independent protocols of quantum information applications.

description: Because of its nonequilibrium character, active matter in a steady state can drive engines that autonomously deliver work against a constant mechanical force or torque. As a generic model for such an engine, we consider systems that contain one or several active components and a single passive one that is asymmetric in its geometrical shape or its interactions. Generally, one expects that such an asymmetry leads to a persistent, directed current in the passive component, which can be used for the extraction of work. We validate this expectation for a minimal model consisting of an active and a passive particle on a one-dimensional lattice. It leads us to identify thermodynamically consistent measures for the efficiency of the conversion of isotropic activity to directed work. For systems with continuous degrees of freedom, work cannot be extracted using a one-dimensional geometry under quite general conditions. In contrast, we put forward two-dimensional shapes of a movable passive obstacle that are best suited for the extraction of work, which we compare with analytical results for an idealised work-extraction mechanism. For a setting with many noninteracting active particles, we use a mean-field approach to calculate the power and the efficiency, which we validate by simulations. Surprisingly, this approach reveals that the interaction with the passive obstacle can mediate cooperativity between otherwise noninteracting active particles, which enhances the extracted power per active particle significantly.

Bosonic effective action for interacting fermions

description: We compare different versions of a bosonic description for systems of interacting fermions, with particular emphasis on the free energy functional. The bosonic effective action makes the issue of symmetries particularly transparent and we present for the Hubbard model an exact mapping between repulsive and attractive interactions. A systematic expansion for the bosonic effective action starts with a solution to the lowest order Schwinger-Dyson or gap equation. We propose a two particle irreducible formulation of an exact functional renormalization group equation for computations beyond leading order. On this basis we suggest a renormalized gap equation. This approach is compared with functional renormalization in a partially bosonized setting.
