description: In boreal peatlands, low decomposition rate is the underlying cause of carbon sequestration. Decomposition of litter can be affected by factors relating to soil moisture and temperature, the quality of the litter, and by the biotic decomposer community, among others. Exploring how these drivers interact will provide better understanding of carbon dynamics in boreal peatlands. We measured the decomposition of three common peatland plant functional types (moss, sedge, shrub), and associated microarthropod communities using litterbags placed in hollows (wet depressions) and hummocks (dry, raised areas) of a boreal peatland in Ontario, Canada. Decomposition was significantly different between all plant litter types, and greatest in sedge, but was not significantly different between hummock and hollow microhabitats. The decomposer community displayed an opposite pattern, significantly affected by microhabitat where richness and abundance of microarthropods was greater in hollows than hummocks. Oribatid mites were the dominant microarthropod with respect to both richness and abundance. Plant litter type did not affect community structure in hollows, but was a determinant of oribatid dominance in hummocks. These results suggest that abiotic environmental conditions are the main drivers of community structure for decomposers, while plant litter quality is a more important determinant of decomposition dynamics in boreal peatlands.
Morphology of the Wide Bay Inlet ebb-tidal delta, 1987-2009, as observed through Landsat 5 and Landsat 7 imagery: a multidecadal analysis of ebb delta morphological variation using optical satellite imagery derived nearshore topographies

description: The morphology of ebb-tidal deltas, found on the seaward side of tidal inlets, is shaped by the relative strength of tide and wave generated currents, frequency and intensity of storms and overall sediment supply within the coastal compartment. In micro-tidal environments, ebb tidal deltas are predominantly below the low water mark, and so detailed observational studies of morphological evolution have been hampered by the difficulties in obtaining regular time series benthic terrain data in the near shore zone. The aim of this study is to investigatethe evolution of the ebb-tidal delta at the Wide Bay Inlet from 1987 to 2009. Benthic surfaces for each year were derived from relative depth values generated by implementing a ratio transform algorithm developed by Stumpf et al. (2003), based on the differential attenuation of light at blue and green wavelengths as a function of depth. Changes between the resultant relative depth surfaces evidence movement of the morphological elements of the ebb-tidal delta complex as well as patterns of sediment movement onto the shoreline and associated patterns of shoreline progradation and erosion. Spatial variability of the main ebb-tidal elements and the periodicity of these variations are documented and compared to conceptual models of ebb-tidal delta behaviour.

description: In this paper, we report our multiwavelength observations of the large-amplitude longitudinal oscillations of a filament on 2015 May 3. Located next to active region 12335, the sigmoidal filament was observed by the ground-based H$α$ telescopes from GONG and by AIA aboard SDO. The filament oscillations were most probably triggered by the magnetic reconnection in the filament channel. The directions of oscillations have angles of 4$^\circ$-36$^\circ$ with respect to the filament axis. The whole filament did not oscillate in phase as a rigid body. Meanwhile, the periods (3100$-$4400 s) of oscillations have a spatial dependence. The values of $R$ are estimated to be 69.4$-$133.9 Mm, and the minimum transverse magnetic field of the dips is estimated to be 15 G. The amplitudes of S5-S8 grew with time, while the amplitudes of S9-S14 damped with time. The amplitudes of oscillations range from a few to ten Mm, and the maximal velocity can reach 30 km s$^{-1}$. Interestingly, the filament experienced mass drainage southwards at a speed of $\sim$27 km s$^{-1}$. The oscillations continued after the mass drainage and lasted for more than 11 hr. After the mass drainage, the phases of oscillations did not change a lot. The periods of S5-S8 decreased, while the periods of S9-S14 increased. The amplitudes of S5$-$S8 damped with time, while the amplitudes of S9-S14 grew. Most of the damping (growing) ratios are between -9 and 14. We propose a schematic cartoon to explain the complex behaviors of oscillations by introducing thread-thread interaction.

description: Cellular materials not only show interesting static properties but can also be used to manipulate dynamic mechanical waves. In this contribution, the existence of phononic band gaps in periodic cellular structures is experimentally shown via sonic transmission experiment. Cellular structures with varying numbers of cells are excited by piezoceramic actuators and the transmitted waves are measured by piezoceramic sensors. The minimum number of cells necessary to form a clear band gap is determined. A rotation of the cells does not have an influence on the formation of the gap, indicating a complete phononic band gap. The experimental results are in good agreement with the numerically obtained dispersion relation.

The impact of the Shanghai–Hong Kong Connect on the market liquidity and price divergence

Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The economic growth of China has seen an increase in its demand for capital, fueling its local stock markets. This paper exams a market liberalisation event between China and Hong Kong and its impact on: (1) market liquidity and (2) price differentials between cross-listed stocks across the two markets. On November 17, 2014, the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange introduced the much anticipated, Shanghai-Hong Kong Connect, a bilateral investment channel between the two markets. The new channel brings with it accesses to new capital for domestic firms and trading expertise from new foreign participants. The Shanghai-Hong Kong Connect permits mutual market access for market participants, allowing investors in each market to trade in the other market using existing trading infrastructure. This study adopts a difference-in-difference methodology and finds that market liquidity as proxied by transaction costs, improves in both markets, for eligible stocks that are traded through the bilateral investment channel, post November 17, 2014. This result is consistent with literature, which identifies the benefits of open and enhanced market access. In addition, reported results identify that the pre-existing price premium between cross-listed China A-shares and Hong Kong H-shares, increases following the market design change. Contrary to expectations, this result is attributed to the incremental improvement in liquidity in China for cross-listed stocks vis-à-vis Hong Kong. Overall, results in this study demonstrate that the partial liberalisation of fund flow between the two markets had a positive impact on liquidity, in particular for China’s largest equity market the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

description: Simulating key static and dynamic properties of matter -- from creation in the Big Bang to evolution into sub-atomic and astrophysical environments -- arising from the underlying fundamental quantum fields of the Standard Model and their effective descriptions, lies beyond the capabilities of classical computation alone. Advances in quantum technologies have improved control over quantum entanglement and coherence to the point where robust simulations are anticipated to be possible in the foreseeable future. We discuss the emerging area of quantum simulations of Standard-Model physics, challenges that lie ahead, and opportunities for progress in the context of nuclear and high-energy physics.

An examination of predictors of mental health, efficacy and dissemination of a group education program for carers of people with depression
Creators: name: McGill, Katherine M.
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022

description: Depression affects one million Australians every year and family and friends (“carers”) provide the majority of day-to-day practical and emotional support to people in the community experiencing depression. Carers of people with depression face many specific challenges and are consistently shown to have much higher rates of mental ill-health than the general population. There is an emerging evidence base about the potential benefits of group education programs for carers of people with mental illness; however, there are only a few interventions that have been developed specifically for carers of people with depression that are also delivered independently of the treatment for the person being supported. The purpose of this program of research was to examine the mental health of Australian carers of people with depression and to investigate the efficacy of a specific carer intervention and the factors that affected the dissemination of this intervention. Three studies were conducted. In the first study, linear regression was used to examine the predictors of mental health in self-identified Australian carers of people with depression. The second study investigated the efficacy of the nationally disseminated Partners in Depression program, a group education course for carers of people with depression. In the third study, multinomial logistic regression was used to investigate individual, service and macro level predictors of delivery of the Partners in Depression program during the national dissemination period. Taken together, the findings from this program of research demonstrate the vulnerability of Australian carers of people with depression to mental ill-health, the potential benefits offered by a group education program developed specifically to address the information and support needs of this target group, and the barriers to dissemination of such an intervention in Australia. Having family and carer inclusive approaches embedded into routine mental health care would increase the capacity of the health system to respond to carer needs and strengthen the resilience and recovery of all of people whose lives have been affected by depression.

description: At early stages of stellar evolution young stars show powerful jets and/or outflows that interact with protoplanetary discs and their surroundings. Despite the scarce knowledge about the interaction of jets and/or outflows with discs, spectroscopic studies based on Herschel and ISO data suggests that gas shocked by jets and/or outflows can be traced by far-IR (FIR) emission in certain sources. We want to provide a consistent catalogue of selected atomic ([OI] and [CII]) and molecular (CO, OH, and H$_{2}$O) line fluxes observed in the FIR, separate and characterize the contribution from the jet and the disc to the observed line emission, and place the observations in an evolutionary picture. The atomic and molecular FIR (60-190 $\rm μm$) line emission of protoplanetary discs around 76 T Tauri stars located in Taurus are analysed. The observations were carried out within the Herschel key programme Gas in Protoplanetary Systems (GASPS). The spectra were obtained with the Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS). The sample is first divided in outflow and non-outflow sources according to literature tabulations. With the aid of archival stellar/disc and jet/outflow tracers and model predictions (PDRs and shocks), correlations are explored to constrain the physical mechanisms behind the observed line emission. The much higher detection rate of emission lines in outflow sources and the compatibility of line ratios with shock model predictions supports the idea of a dominant contribution from the jet/outflow to the line emission, in particular at earlier stages of the stellar evolution as the brightness of FIR lines depends in large part on the specific evolutionary stage.

description: Background: Riluzole is the most widespread therapeutic for treatment of the progressive degenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Riluzole gained FDA approval in 1995 before the development of ALS mouse models. We assessed riluzole in three transgenic ALS mouse models: the SOD1G93A model, the TDP-43A315T model, and the recently developed FUS (1-359) model. Methods: Age, sex and litter-matched mice were treated with riluzole (22 mg/kg) in drinking water or vehicle (DMSO) from symptom onset. Lifespan was assessed and motor function tests were carried out twice weekly to determine whether riluzole slowed disease progression. Results: Riluzole treatment had no significant benefit on lifespan in any of the ALS mouse models tested. Riluzole had no significant impact on decline in motor performance in the FUS (1-359) and SOD1G93A transgenic mice as assessed by Rotarod and stride length analysis. Conclusions: Riluzole is widely prescribed for ALS patients despite questions surrounding its efficacy. Our data suggest that if riluzole was identified as a therapeutic candidate today it would not progress past pre-clinical assessment. This raises questions about the standards used in pre-clinical assessment of therapeutic candidates for the treatment of ALS.

description: We define higher quantum Airy structures as generalizations of the Kontsevich-Soibelman quantum Airy structures by allowing differential operators of arbitrary order (instead of only quadratic). We construct many classes of examples of higher quantum Airy structures as modules of $\mathcal{W}(\mathfrak{g})$ algebras at self-dual level, with $\mathfrak{g}= \mathfrak{gl}_{N+1}$, $\mathfrak{so}_{2 N }$ or $\mathfrak{e}_N$. We discuss their enumerative geometric meaning in the context of (open and closed) intersection theory of the moduli space of curves and its variants. Some of these $\mathcal{W}$ constraints have already appeared in the literature, but we find many new ones. For $\mathfrak{gl}_{N+1}$ our result hinges on the description of previously unnoticed Lie subalgebras of the algebra of modes. As a consequence, we obtain a simple characterization of the spectral curves (with arbitrary ramification) for which the Bouchard-Eynard topological recursion gives symmetric $ω_{g,n}$s and is thus well defined. For all such cases, we show that the topological recursion is equivalent to $\mathcal{W}(\mathfrak{gl})$ constraints realized as higher quantum Airy structures, and obtain a Givental-like decomposition for the corresponding partition functions.

description: In the last couple of decades, the world has seen several stunning instances of quantum algorithms that provably outperform the best classical algorithms. For most problems, however, it is currently unknown whether quantum algorithms can provide an advantage, and if so by how much, or how to design quantum algorithms that realize such advantages. Many of the most challenging computational problems arising in the practical world are tackled today by heuristic algorithms that have not been mathematically proven to outperform other approaches but have been shown to be effective empirically. While quantum heuristic algorithms have been proposed, empirical testing becomes possible only as quantum computation hardware is built. The next few years will be exciting as empirical testing of quantum heuristic algorithms becomes more and more feasible. While large-scale universal quantum computers are likely decades away, special-purpose quantum computational hardware has begun to emerge that will become more powerful over time, as well as some small-scale universal quantum computers.

description: Energy issues in the Pacific Island region not only provide constraints on the socio-economic development of Pacific Island states, but are also a cause of local environmental degradation. Proven renewable energy is the most appropriate energy source for the needs of Pacific Island nations. Since the early 1980s, the region has made significant efforts towards developing indigenous renewable energy resources. However, until now, most of the renewable energy systems have not been successful due to many limitations. -- International aid can play an important role in promoting sustainable energy systems in the Pacific Island region. This research focuses on the examination of donors' policies and practices in international assistance for renewable energy in the region. -- The main methods adopted in the research include: developing a framework for sustainable energy policymaking in the region, case studies, a survey of international aid, and analysis of Australia's foreign aid policies and relevant domestic policy issues. Accordingly, this research contributes to providing analysis and recommendations with respect to international aid for developing sustainable energy systems in the Pacific Island region. Evaluation of Australian international aid policies and activities with respect to encouraging sustainable energy in the region is also carried out. -- In the future, the island nations, developed countries and international organisations need to consider the following policy approaches: (i) the Pacific Island nations need to initially adopt ecologically sustainable energy policies; (ii) international aid needs to be refocused on promoting recipients' capabilities in terms of self-reliance and sustainable development and aid needs to be given to promote sustainable energy systems; (iii) the governments of donor countries need to positively encourage their own sustainable energy industries by reforming economic and industrial structures and energy market systems through effective national legislation and policies; and finally (iv) human resources, institutional development, financial and technical assistance, local community involvement, joint ventures, bilateral and multilateral assistance, aid efficiency, and the role of non-government organisations need to be enhanced.

description: This is a qualitative practitioner inquiry in which I reframe my knowledge and practices as a Vietnamese teacher of English at a university in Vietnam. In the course of my PhD project, I developed a pedagogical framework and implemented it into two university classes. By working collaboratively with two teaching colleagues, and with feedback from my students, I was able to develop a ‘renewed’ conception of my teaching practices. The study shows the value of incorporating a translanguaging approach and a dialogic approach to teaching and learning English.

description: Despite high rates of Asian Americans in interracial romantic partnerships with Whites and the sociohistorical context of interracial relationships and race in the US, there is limited empirical work regarding Asian Americans’ experiences and perceptions of race and navigating racial differences in Asian-White romantic relationships. Drawing from the master narrative framework, this mixed-methods study will document Asian Americans’ personal narratives of being in Asian-White interracial relationships, investigate how personal narratives are shaped by societal narratives about race, and examine how narrative themes relate to relationship quality and psychological distress.
Does a fish rot from the head?: an exploration of consideration of culture at the due diligence phase of a cross border merger or acquisition
Creators: name: Smith, Roderick Alexander

description: In 2014, Mergers and Acquisitions (M and A’s) were valued globally, at US$3.5 trillion. Of those, more than a third were cross border transactions. The failure rate of M and A’s is high. Depending on the criteria used to measure this, failure rates have being estimated as being from 40% to as high as 90%. This presents a sizeable issue for the management of the M and A market. In recent years, research has attributed this high failure rate to a lack of consideration of culture prior to the merger taking place. This is the case in terms of corporate culture and workplace culture. International transactions also include an element of national culture. With the increase in size and number of cross border M and A’s, consideration of culture at the stage of due diligence is important if possible failure is to be mitigated. This thesis will report on an exploratory study focussing specifically on if and how considerations of culture are integrated into due diligence. A recent cross border merger between two companies, one based in Australia and the other based in Asia has been analysed. Data was drawn from semi-structured exploratory interviews conducted with select members of the due diligence team. These were used to assess the team’s practices, attitude and views to the consideration of corporate culture. The data was analysed in relation to the central themes that emerged across the different interviews, as well as identifying areas of divergence. The results are presented as a combination of conventional qualitative data analysis, coupled with the use of art based methods. The results have enhanced the understanding of how culture plays out as a part of due diligence as its depth can be appreciated through both analytical and impressionistic accounts. In conclusion it is evident that the practical role and purpose of due diligence and the team performing this task has diverged from the theoretical views of scholars of what due diligence actually is and what it is done for. Aspects of culture are considered poorly and in some respects not at all, at the due diligence phase of mergers and acquisitions, based on the data in this thesis.

description: Studies have shown that mental illness burdens not only public health and productivity but also established market economies throughout the world. However, mental disorders are difficult to diagnose and monitor through traditional methods, which heavily rely on interviews, questionnaires and surveys, resulting in high under-diagnosis and under-treatment rates. The increasing use of online social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, is now a common part of people’s everyday life. The continuous and real-time user-generated content often reflects feelings, opinions, social status and behaviours of individuals, creating an unprecedented wealth of person-specific information. With advances in data science, social media has already been increasingly employed in population health monitoring and more recently mental health applications to understand mental disorders as well as to develop online screening and intervention tools. However, existing research efforts are still in their infancy, primarily aimed at highlighting the potential of employing social media in mental health research. The majority of work is developed on ad hoc datasets and lacks a systematic research pipeline. [Continues.]

description: In this article, the reproducing kernel Hilbert space [0, 1] is employed for solving a class of third-order periodic boundary value problem by using fitted reproducing kernel algorithm. The reproducing kernel function is built to get fast accurately and efficiently series solutions with easily computable coefficients throughout evolution the algorithm under constraint periodic conditions within required grid points. The analytic solution is formulated in a finite series form whilst the truncated series solution is given to converge uniformly to analytic solution. The reproducing kernel procedure is based upon generating orthonormal basis system over a compact dense interval in Sobolev space to construct a suitable analytical-numerical solution. Furthermore, experiments result of some numerical examples are presented to illustrate the good performance of the presented algorithm. The results indicate that the reproducing kernel procedure is powerful tool for solving other problems of ordinary and partial differential equations arising in physics, computer and engineering fields.

description: Objectives: Paramedics' decision to terminate field resuscitation without a physician present may depend on personal and external factors. This study investigates factors associated with paramedic psychological comfort with termination of resuscitation (TOR) to inform future training. Methods: We administered an anonymous survey to all practicing paramedics in a large urban Asian Emergency Medical Services system where formal TOR training had not yet been conducted and field TOR was not routinely applied. The survey assessed psychological comfort using the validated Psychological Comfort Total (PCT) scale (summed score of 28 items, with higher scores representing greater comfort). We examined scores associated with four personal (prior resolution of personal loss, knowledge of survival probability, religious affiliation and experience with death pronouncements) and two external (location of patient and perceived trust of family) factors. Data were entered into Excel and analyzed by t-tests and ANOVA. Results: Response rate was 73.6% (254/345). Respondents were 30.3 years (mean, SD 7.1) with 7.2 years (mean, SD 5.54) of practice experience. Over 60% had been involved in 6 or more field death pronouncements in the prior 12 months. Higher PCT scores were associated with prior resolution of personal loss and knowledge of survival probability. Lower PCT scores were associated with patient location in a public place and perceived family lack of trust. PCT scores were not associated with paramedic religious affiliation or number of prior death pronouncements. Conclusions: Paramedic psychological comfort with field death pronouncement is associated with personal and external factors. Since paramedic comfort is important for protocol adoption, TOR education should target not only knowledge, but also public arena management, communication skills for engaging with families, and help paramedics resolve prior personal loss.

description: N-methylformamide, CH3NHCHO, may be an important molecule for interstellar pre-biotic chemistry because it contains a peptide bond. The rotational spectrum of the most stable trans conformer of CH3NHCHO is complicated by strong torsion-rotation interaction due to the low barrier of the methyl torsion. We use two absorption spectrometers in Kharkiv and Lille to measure the rotational spectra over 45--630 GHz. The analysis is carried out using the Rho-axis method and the RAM36 code. We search for N-methylformamide toward the hot molecular core Sgr B2(N2) using a spectral line survey carried out with ALMA. The astronomical results are put into a broader astrochemical context with the help of a gas-grain chemical kinetics model. The laboratory data set for the trans conformer of CH3NHCHO consists of 9469 line frequencies with J <= 62, including the first assignment of the rotational spectra of the first and second excited torsional states. All these lines are fitted within experimental accuracy. We report the tentative detection of CH3NHCHO towards Sgr B2(N2). We find CH3NHCHO to be more than one order of magnitude less abundant than NH2CHO, a factor of two less abundant than CH3NCO, but only slightly less abundant than CH3CONH2. The chemical models indicate that the efficient formation of HNCO via NH + CO on grains is a necessary step in the achievement of the observed gas-phase abundance of CH3NCO. Production of CH3NHCHO may plausibly occur on grains either through the direct addition of functional-group radicals or through the hydrogenation of CH3NCO. Provided the detection of CH3NHCHO is confirmed, the only slight underabundance of this molecule compared to its more stable structural isomer acetamide and the sensitivity of the model abundances to the chemical kinetics parameters suggest that the formation of these two molecules is controlled by kinetics rather than thermal equilibrium.

description: In this work we study various aspects of supersymmetric three-dimensional higher-derivative field theories. We classify all possible models without derivative terms in the auxiliary field of the fermionic sector and find that scalar field theories of the form $P(X,ϕ)$, where $X=-(\partialϕ)^2/2$, belong to this kind of models. A ghost-free supersymmetric extension of Galileon models is found in three spacetime dimensions. Finally, the auxiliary field problem is discussed.

description: Meta-analytic structural equation modeling (MASEM) is increasingly applied to advance theories by synthesizing existing findings. MASEM essentially consists of two stages. In Stage 1, a pooled correlation matrix is estimated based on the reported correlation coefficients in the individual studies. In Stage 2, a structural model (such as a path model) is fitted to explain the pooled correlations. Frequently, the individual studies do not provide all the correlation coefficients between the research variables. In this study, we modify the currently optimal MASEM-method to deal with missing correlation coefficients, and compare its performance with existing methods. This study is the first to evaluate the performance of fixed-effects MASEM methods under different levels of missing correlation coefficients. We found that the often used univariate methods performed very poorly, while the multivariate methods performed well overall.

description: Signal decomposition techniques aim to break down nonstationary signals into their oscillatory components, serving as a preliminary step in various practical signal processing applications. This has motivated researchers to explore different strategies, yielding several distinct approaches. A wellknown optimization-based method, the Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD), relies on the formulation of an optimization problem utilizing constant-bandwidthWiener filters. However, this poses limitations in constant bandwidth and the need for constituent count. In this paper, the Dynamic Bandwidth VMD (DB-VMD) is proposed to generalize VMD by addressing the Wiener filter limitations through enhancement of the optimization problem with an additional constraint. Experiments in synthetic signals highlight DB-VMD’s noise robustness and adaptability in comparison to VMD, paving the way for many applications, especially when the analyzed signals are contaminated with noise.
