description: Performing a stability analysis during the design of any electronic circuit is critical to guarantee its correct operation. A closed-loop stability analysis can be performed by analysing the impedance presented by the circuit at a well-chosen node without internal access to the simulator. If any of the poles of this impedance lie in the complex right half-plane, the circuit is unstable. The classic way to detect unstable poles is to fit a rational model on the impedance. In this paper, a projection-based method is proposed which splits the impedance into a stable and an unstable part by projecting on an orthogonal basis of stable and unstable functions. When the unstable part lies significantly above the interpolation error of the method, the circuit is considered unstable. Working with a projection provides one, at small cost, with a first appraisal of the unstable part of the system. Both small-signal and large-signal stability analysis can be performed with this projection-based method. In the small-signal case, a low-order rational approximation can be fitted on the unstable part to find the location of the unstable poles.

Probabilistic Cataloging of the Globular Cluster Messier 2: Improved PSF Photometry of Crowded Stellar Fields

Crowded field photometry

description: Cataloging is an essential part of the data processing pipelines of modern surveys: most astrophysicists conduct research using catalogs of astronomical objects rather than raw telescope images. Though traditional cataloging packages perform well in most instances, crowded fields are particularly challenging due to the blending of and covariance between neighboring sources. With the improved depth of future telescope surveys, the fraction of exposures in the crowded limit will only continue to increase. As a result, it is more important than ever to explore new methods of crowded field photometry. In this thesis, I present the first application of probabilistic cataloging to real optical data. Probabilistic cataloging uses Bayesian inference and a trans-dimensional search to sample the space of all possible catalogs consistent with an image, producing an ensemble of catalogs instead of just one. Unlike catalogs produced by traditional cataloging packages, the resulting catalog ensemble retains fully marginalized deblending uncertainties and covariances between sources.

I quantitatively show that probabilistic cataloging outperforms DAOPHOT, the best-performing of the traditional stellar photometry packages in the crowded limit, on a 100×100 pixel cutout of a Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) r-band image of the globular cluster Messier 2 (Becker et al. 2007). Adopting a Hubble Space Telescope catalog of the same region of sky as ground truth, I show that the catalog ensemble generated using probabilistic cataloging is complete to over 1 magnitude deeper than the corresponding DAOPHOT catalog while maintaining a similar false discovery rate. Additional tests show that probabilistic cataloging is robust to different seeing conditions. Lastly, I provide a labeling procedure by which the catalog ensemble can be distilled to a single "condensed" catalog with fully marginalized uncertainties that maintains a similar completeness and false discovery rate to those of the catalog ensemble. These results demonstrate the applicability of probabilistic cataloging to future surveys such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope.

description: If the flavor dependent non-standard interactions (NSI) in neutrino propagation exist, then the matter effect is modified and the modification is parametrized by the dimensionless parameter $ε_{αβ}~(α,β=e, μ, τ)$. In this paper we discuss the sensitivity of the T2HKK experiment, whose possibility is now seriously discussed as a future extension of the T2K experiment, to such NSI. On the assumption that $ε_{αμ}=0~(α=e, μτ)$ and $ε_{ττ}=|ε_{eτ}|/(1+ε_{ee})$, which are satisfied by other experiments to a good approximation, we find that, among the possible off-axis flux configurations of $1.3^\circ$, $1.5^\circ$, $2.0^\circ$ and $2.5^\circ$, the case of the off-axis angle $1.3^\circ$ gives the highest sensitivity to $ε_{ee}$ and $|ε_{eτ}|$. Our results show that the $1.3^\circ$ off-axis configuration can exclude NSI for $|ε_{ee}|\gtrsim 1$ or $|ε_{eτ}|\gtrsim 0.2$ at 3$σ$. We also find that in the presence of NSI, T2HKK (for the off-axis angle $1.3^\circ$) has better sensitivity to the two CP phases ($δ_{CP}$ and arg($ε_{e τ}$)) than DUNE. This is because of the synergy between the two detectors i.e., one at Kamioka and one at Korea. T2HKK has better sensitivity to the CP phases than the atmospheric neutrino experiment at Hyperkamiokande in inverted hierarchy, but in normal hierarchy the atmospheric neutrino experiment has the best sensitivity to the CP phases.

description: Canopy structure has profound effects in the final crop yield production. This project demonstrates novel methods for canola canopy estimations and early yield prediction from 3D LiDAR point clouds captured. LiDAR is an advanced remote sensor that has been widely used for 3D point cloud model construction. Machine learning classifier needs to recognise the ground and different plant parts within the point cloud prior to the estimation. Early yield prediction is the possible with LiDAR-derived parameters with the help of machine learning regression algorithms.

description: Aedes albopictus is a mosquito species that is native to Malaysia and known to be a secondary vector of dengue. However, it has been reported to be present abundantly in urban environments where in some instances, Ae. albopictus was noted to breed indoors and replaced the more common urban Ae. aegypti populations. This thesis establishes the current distribution of Ae. albopictus in the urban tropical landscape of Klang Valley, Malaysia and elucidates the microbiota composition of Ae. albopictus for future biocontrol strategy to control Ae. albopictus populations.

description: The aim of this PhD thesis was to investigate the role of host Filamin A (FLNA) protein in the Influenza A virus (IAV) replication cycle. We found that FLNA plays a protective antiviral role in the host cell against the IAV. In addition, we also found that for successful IAV replication, the IAV nucleoprotein down-regulates FLNA levels as well as sequesters FLNA in order to activate the JNK stress signalling pathway, a pathway responsible for apoptosis induction and cell death.
The regulation of the shape and size of the brain and wing disc in Drosophila melanogaster

Subjects: Developmental Biology

description: The diverse forms of life we see are generated, at least in part, by differences in their body shapes, and this can be moulded by environmental conditions. Correct regulation of body shape involves controlling the rates and the duration of organ growth. Using the fruit fly as the study organism, this thesis highlights that organs and their constituent parts show distinct growth properties throughout development. In addition, organ compartments differ in their sensitivity to environmental conditions, and body shape can vary depending on such conditions. These findings imply a more complex development of final body shape than previously understood.
The role of KANADI in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha

description: In flowering plants, KANADI genes regulate the polarity of leaves, as well as regulating development under shade. Here I investigated the role of a related KANADI gene in the liverwort species Marchantia polymorpha, to determine whether it has an analogous role regulating polarity and/or shade responses in a distantly related lineage of land plants. In Marchantia, KANADI does not regulate polarity, however it does promote a number of light responses similar to shade responses in flowering plants, including the transition to sexual development, suggesting that KANADI has a conserved role regulating developmental responses to light across land plants.

description: It was argued that the Raychaudhuri equation with a quantum correction term seems to avoid the Big Bang singularity and to characterize an everlasting Universe [PLB741,276(2015)]. Critical comments on both conclusions and on the correctness of the key expressions of this work were discussed in literature [MPLA31(2016)1650044]. In the present work, we have analyzed the perturbative (in)stability conditions in the inflationary era of the early Universe. We conclude that both unstable and stable modes are incompatible with the corresponding ones obtained in the standard FLRW Universe. We have shown that unstable modes do exist at small (an)isotropic perturbation and for different equations of state. Inequalities for both unstable and stable solutions with the standard FLRW space were derived. They reveal that in the FLRW flat Universe both perturbative instability and stability are likely. While negative stability modes have been obtained for radiation- and matter-dominated eras, merely, instability modes exist in case of a finite cosmological constant and also if the vacuum energy dominates the cosmic background geometry.

description: Influenza A virus infections are notorious in causing annual epidemics and pandemics throughout history. It causes death by triggering an excessive response by our immune system, which eventually damages the respiratory tract and causes it to lose its protective barrier. Next, secondary bacterial infection takes the opportunity to harm the host and cause death. In this thesis, we investigate the role of a particular protein in influenza A virus and how it manipulates the host immune system for its own benefit.
The effect of the cosmological constant on gravitational wave quadrupole signal

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this study the effects of a non-zero cosmological constant $Λ$ on a quadrupole signal are studied. The linearized approximation of general relativity was used, so the metric can be written as $g_{μν}=η_{μν}+h_{μν}=η_{μν}+h_{μν}^Λ+h_{μν}^{GW}$ where $h_{μν}^{GW}$ can be interpreted as gravitational waves and $h_{μν}^Λ$ is the background perturbation. The $Λh^{GW}$ term was also included in this study. To derive physically relevant consequences of $Λ\neq0$, the Friedmann--Robertson--Walker comoving coordinates are used. In these coordinates, the equations of motion are not self-consistent so the result of the linearized theory have to be transformed to the FRW metric. The luminosity distance and the same order of the magnitude of frequency of the GW150914 was used for the results.

description: Soils provide essential ecosystem services and healthy soils are vital for animal and plant-based production systems. This thesis explored the diverse nature of soils in Australian livestock grazing systems by focusing on the impacts of agricultural intensification on soil and plant interactions. Through microcosm studies and regional scale field surveys, the effects of fertiliser enrichment and grazing frequency on soil physicochemical properties, nutrient cycling and pasture production were investigated. Thereby signifying the importance of region-specific studies for establishing a suitable range of indicators, capable of determining the health of soils and the sustainable management of livestock systems in the future.

Mittels verschiedener Hochordnungsreihenentwicklungen und exakter Diagonalisierung werden Phasenübergänge zwischen verschiedenen topologisch geordneten und topologisch trivialen Phasen untersucht. Die hier betrachteten topologisch geordneten Phasen werden jeweils durch achirale Semion-, Fibonacci- und Ising-Feldtheorien beschrieben. Zur Betrachtung der gestörten String-Net-Modelle, entwickeln wir eine Quasiteilchenbeschreibung der jeweiligen elementaren anyonischen Anregungen. Diese effektiven Modelle wechselwirkender Quasiteilchen ermöglichen eine Analyse des Niederenergiespektrums und damit auch eine Bestimmung der kritischen Eigenschaften von auftretenden Phasenübergängen. Unsere Untersuchung liefert erste Anzeichen für kontinuierliche Phasenübergänge zwischen topologisch geordneten Phasen, deren elementare Anregungen fraktionale, nicht abelsche Statistik aufweisen, und topologisch trivialen Phasen.
description: We study quantum phase transitions and the critical behavior of topologically-ordered phases by considering various string-net models perturbed by local operators defined on the two-dimensional honeycomb lattice. More precisely, by means of high-order series expansions in combination with exact diagonalization, we analyze the phase transitions induced by the analogue of a magnetic field for the topologically-ordered phases described by doubled semion, Fibonacci, and Ising theories. We develop a quasi-particle picture of the elementary anyonic excitations for all these models. The effective models of interacting quasi-particles allow us to determine the respective phase diagrams and to analyze spectral properties of the low-energy physics. Our analysis of the low-energy spectrum leads to the first evidence of continuous quantum phase transitions out of topologically-ordered phases harboring non-Abelian anyons.

description: We theoretically investigate plasmon polaritons in cubic lattices of spherical metallic nanoparticles. The nanoparticles, each supporting triply-degenerate localized surface plasmons, couple through the Coulomb dipole-dipole interaction, giving rise to collective plasmons that extend over the whole metamaterial. The latter hybridize with photons forming plasmon polaritons, which are the hybrid light-matter eigenmodes of the system. We derive general analytical expressions to evaluate both plasmon and plasmon-polariton dispersions, and the corresponding eigenstates. These are obtained within a Hamiltonian formalism, which takes into account retardation effects in the dipolar interaction between the nanoparticles and considers the dielectric properties of the nanoparticles as well as their surrounding. Within this model we predict polaritonic splittings in the near-infrared to the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum that depend on polarization, lattice symmetry and wavevector direction. Finally, we show that the predictions of our model are in excellent quantitative agreement with conventional finite-difference frequency-domain simulations, but with the advantages of analytical insight and significantly reduced computational cost.

description: Ceramic membranes can serve as viable alternatives to the less mechanically stable polymeric membranes utilized in microbial fuel cells (MFCs). In this work, a series of polymer-derived ceramic (PDC) proton exchange composite membranes with large ion exchange capacity (IEC) values, high cation transport numbers, and low oxygen diffusion coefficients have been synthesized at various pyrolysis temperatures using a pressing technique. These materials were composed of a polysiloxane matrix mixed with proton-conducting fillers such as montmorillonite and H3PMo12O40/SiO2 at different ratios. By tuning the average pore sizes of the membranes between 0.1 and 1 µm and their hydrophilic/hydrophobic characteristics, the maximum IEC of 0.6072 mequiv/g and cation transport number of 0.6988 were obtained, which is 67% and 72% of polymeric nafion performance, respectively. In addition, the minimal oxygen mass transfer coefficient achieved by this approach was equal to 5.62 × 10−4 cm/s, which is very close to the commercial nafion membrane value. The fabricated PDC composite membranes meet all the essential criteria required for their use in MFC applications and represent a high potential to overcome limitations of polymeric membrane.

description: Porous SiOC monoliths were prepared by solution-based freeze casting of polysiloxane at constant freezing temperature or constant freezing front velocity. Dendritic and prismatic pore structures were obtained by using cyclohexane and tert-butyl alcohol as solvent, respectively. Gradients in freezing velocity lead to gradients in pore window size, whereas a constant freezing velocity (3.3–6.8 µm/s) generates homogeneous pore structures. The water permeability varies from 1.12 × 10−13 to 1.03 × 10−11 m2 and correlates with the pore window diameter (10–59 µm) and the porosity (51–82%). In wicking tests, the gradient in pore window size is clearly reflected by a pronounced decrease in the wicking speed. Contrary, a homogeneous pore structure results in wicking curves which are closer to the prediction according to the Lucas–Washburn equation. However, this theoretical approach based on the three parameters, pore window size, porosity and permeability, is insufficient to describe complex three-dimensional pore structures. Besides the porosity, the pore morphology was found to be a major influencing factor on the wicking. The filling of secondary dendrites slows down the wicking into the dendritic structure. Fastest wicking was observed for a prismatic pore structure at low freezing front velocity (6.6 µm/s) and high porosity (78%), whereas slowest wicking occurred into the dendritic structure with high porosity (76%) and constant freezing temperature (− 20 °C). The knowledge of the relationship between structural properties and the resulting wicking behavior can address a variety of pivotal applications in chemical engineering for capillary transport.

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Microbiology
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: This research involves the lichen Usnea, from Malaysia and the Philippines, and fungi living inside the lichen called endolichenic fungi (ELF). Results revealed that Usnea is a home for diverse ELF. The application of lichens and ELF in combating different microbes were also highlighted, revealing the ability of ELF in targeting a bigger group of microbes than lichens. Using a modern technology called metabolomics, a bioactive compound new to ELF was discovered and found responsible for its strong antibacterial activity. This research is the first assessment of the diversity and bioactivity of ELF from Usnea in Malaysia and the Philippines.

description: In today's competitive environment, supply chains are vital to ensure the availability of the right product in the right quantity at the right location. In a supply chain, the decision-maker often face challenges in maintaining a balance between supply and demand, especially when disruptions are present in the supply chain. This thesis addresses some of these challenges through new models and better optimisation algorithms. In this thesis, we have developed a novel and comprehensive approach with stochastic and mixed-integer non-linear optimisation models for perishable product’s supply chains, consisting of various levels of decision planning, and disruption and demand uncertainties.

description: With an increasing number of open laboratories for cultural and technical experimentation in place, questions arise regarding how and with what effects they come about, what they mean to those who partake and how they organize themselves in order to satisfy those involved. Recognizing the way that these spaces reach of alternative technologies and alternative ways of being we conceptualize them as materialized utopias, which are fragile socio-material arrangements. Rather than articulating grand utopian or ecotopian alternative societies, we look at materialized utopias as the gradual tweaking, probing and fixing of things. We elaborate on this with the study of “Test Site” a campus-based open space for experimentation in Helsinki designing with matters such as soap, compost or wood. We show that the thriving of this space is dependent on purposeful misunderstandings. However, its hybrid character being open to different interpretations does not only help to spur momentum but by the same token also leads to tensions internally as well as externally. Materialized utopias are then bound to be compromised, but in the best case scenario, turn unproductive anxieties into productive care taking of the socio-material surroundings. As the site is in the making, materials and events function as checkpoints and create legitimacy.

description: Understanding the quality of new raw material sources will be of great importance to ensure the development of a circular bioeconomy. Building up quality understanding of wood waste is an important step in this development. In this paper we probe two main questions, one substantial and one theoretical: What different understandings of wood waste quality exist and what significance do they have for the recycling and re-use of this waste fraction? And, what is the evolution of knowledge and sustainable practices of wood waste qualities a case of? The analysis is based on diverse perspectives and forms of methods and empirical material. Studies of policy documents, regulations, standards, etc. have been reviewed to uncover what kind of measures and concepts that have been important for governing and regulating wood waste handling. Interviews concerning wood and wood waste qualities have been conducted with key informants and people visiting recycling and waste management stations in Oslo and Akershus in Norway. By studying quality conceptions through the social birth, production, life, end-of-life and re-birth of wood products, we analyse socio-cultural conditions for sustainability. Furthermore we show how the evolution of knowledge and sustainable practices of wood waste qualities, in the meeting with standards and regulations, is a case of adaptation work in the evolution of Norwegian bioeconomy.

description: The overarching goal of this project was to develop the first generation of supramolecular assemblies which can be potential sensors based on electrochemically sensitised luminescence. This novel process require donor-acceptor complexes in which energy transfer takes place through electrochemical excitation. The donor-acceptor complexes that were analysed were bimetallic assemblies in which electrochemically responsive transitional metal complexes were chemically coupled to highly luminescent acceptors in the form of lanthanoid complexes. Hence, the project involved in the synthesis and analysis of a library of RuII and IrIII based monometallics and bimetallic assemblies with excellent photophysical and electrochemical properties.
Description of the $^{11}$Li$(p,d){^{10}}$Li transfer reaction using structure overlaps from a full three-body model

description: Recent data on the differential angular distribution for the transfer reaction $^{11}$Li(p,d)$^{10}$Li at $E/A=5.7$ MeV in inverse kinematics are analysed within the DWBA reaction framework, using the overlap functions calculated within a three-body model of $^{11}$Li. The weight of the different $^{10}$Li configurations in the system's ground state is obtained from the structure calculations unambiguously. The effect of the $^{9}$Li spin in the calculated observables is also investigated. We find that, although all the considered models succeed in reproducing the shape of the data, the magnitude is very sensitive to the content of $p_{1/2}$ wave in the $^{11}$Li ground-state wave function. Among the considered models, the best agreement with the data is obtained when the $^{11}$Li ground state contains a $\sim$31\% of $p_{1/2}$ wave in the $n$-$^9$Li subsystem. Although this model takes into account explicitly the splitting of the $1^+$ and $2^+$ resonances due to the coupling of the $p_{1/2}$ wave to the $3/2^-$ spin of the core, a similar degree of agreement can be achieved with a model in which the $^{9}$Li spin is ignored, provided that it contains a similar p-wave content.

Subjects: subject: 100302 Bioprocessing, Bioproduction and Bioproducts
subject: FOS: Industrial biotechnology

description: An integrated biorefinery that incorporates novel and eco-friendly technologies can be developed to produce a range of products from agro-processing waste as diverse as those from fossil resources using petroleum refinery. This ultimately reduces the reliance on dwindling fossil resources, the waste management problem in agro-processing industries and diversify their product portfolio that minimizes the risk of loss. As part of this objective, an integrated biorefinery from pomegranate processing waste was proposed by the application of various green technologies such as enzymatic, hydrothermal, and mechano-aqueous processing to produce high-quality oil, proteins, dietary fibres, pectin, antioxidant phenolics, bioethanol, and carbon material.

description: The production of sperm requires the coordinated action of thousands of genes, including many that are poorly understood. This thesis focused on the role of cysteine-rich secretory proteins, antigen 5, and pathogenesis-related 1 (CAP) superfamily proteins in sperm function. Using a combination of genetic models, state-of-the-art imaging technologies and custom written codes based on fluid mechanics principals. I have defined the role of four CAP proteins in male fertility. This research is relevant to the human reproductive medicine, the agricultural sector wherein assisted reproductive technologies are common, and evolution wherein sperm competition is a major determinant.
