Evolution, pollination biology, and biogeography of the grape relative Leea (Leeaceae, vitales)
Creators: name: Molina, Jeanmaire E.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Leea D. Royen ex L. is the sole member of the tropical family Leeaceae, which is closely related to the economically important grape family, Vitaceae. Both comprise the order Vitales. In spite of its affinity with the grape family, Leea's molecular systematics has remained unexplored. This study presents the first phylogeny (chapter 1) of Leeaceae using molecular markers to provide an evolutionary framework to understand its taxonomy, morphological evolution (chapter 2), ecology (chapter 3), and biogeography (chapter 4). Ridsdale (1974, 1976) estimated that there are 34 Leea species inhabiting the tropics of Africa and Asia. DNA sequences for the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and the 5S non-transcribed spacer (NTS) were extracted and amplified from leaf material of 22 species, representing the morphological and geographical diversity of Leea. The ITS secondary structure for the type species, L. aequata L., facilitated homology assessments in ITS sequence alignments, while 5S-NTS data helped resolve terminal relationships. The concatenated matrix was used to estimate the phylogeny and divergence times and generate the topology for ancestral area reconstructions. Area optimization was alsoperformed on the Vitales topology estimated from previously published sequences to locate the geographic origin of Leeaceae, but either an out-of-Asia (i.e. Indochina) or out-of-India origin was inferred possible. The molecular phylogeny recovered four major clades, with the Indian/Indochinese L. asiatica (L.) Ridsdale (clade I) diverging 65.5 mya from the rest of the family. Its primitive trait of free stamens supports its position as the earliest-diverging clade. Clades II, III, and IV form a monophyletic group that had evolved in the Eocene (50.8 mya) in Indochina and/or West Malesia and exhibit the derived feature of fused stamens. Clade II, the spine-bearing species, is sister to Clade III, whose species have large flowers. Clade IV, which is unique in having multi-pinnate leaves and small stipules, evolved by the end of the Oligocene (25.6 mya) and comprise the polyphyletic 'species' (sensu Ridsdale) L. guineensis G. Don and L. indica (Burm. f.) Merr. nested among other morphologically discernible species. The radiation of Leea species mostly occurred in the Neogene (1.8-23.0 mya) during a time of dynamic geological and environmental changes in Southeast Asia. Africa and Australia were also colonized by Neogene dispersals of Asian Leea. Current species circumscriptions of L. guineensis and L. indica underestimate the genetic diversity of the genus and need to be revised. An updated checklist of 47 species reflecting clades recovered by the molecular phylogeny is presented including resurrected and putative new species. Field studies of three sympatric Philippine Leea morphospecies have revealed that habit and ecology must be considered in species circumscriptions.

description: A precoder and a precoding method in a multiuser multi-antenna system are provided. The precoder includes a channel checker for determining a DownLink (DL) channel condition of terminals in a service coverage area, a pre-compensator for pre-compensating, for channel distortion, signals to be sent to the terminals when a nonlinear algorithm is selected based on the channel condition of the terminals, and an interference remover for canceling interference in a channel by multiplying the pre-compensated signals by inverse channels of the terminals, and for canceling interference between the terminals. Accordingly, the pre-equalization can be carried out without global channel state information, and an increase of the transmit power can be prevented in the permutation.

Type host. Common gallinule, Gallinula galeata (Lichtenstein) (Gruiformes: Rallidae).
Type locality. Buenos Aires, Argentina—Thatcher (1993).
Remarks. This species was considered to be a synonym of Cyclocoelum mutabile (Zeder, 1800) by Dubois (1959). Yamaguti (1971) gave an egg length of 60 for this species; however, it is 160 in the original description by Marcó del Pont (1926). The original description provides only measurements of a body length, an egg length and an egg width; however, Fig.1 of the original description does not show the cirrus sac. The presence of a rudimentary oral sucker is indicated in the description (“Pharynx immediately ahead of the union of the two intestinal branches, leaving only a tiny esophagus and something behind the mouth, which is infundibular.”) and Fig. 1 of the original description by Marcó del Pont (1926).

description: S. theophili (Dollfus, 1948) n. comb.
Type host. Greater flamingo, Phoenicopterus ruber Linnaeus (Phoenicopteriformes: Phoenicopteridae).
Type locality. Vicinity of Casablanca, Morocco.
Remarks. This species was originally described as Cyclocoelum (Cyclocoelum) theophili Dollfus, 1948. It has the genital pore located about the mid-level of the pharynx (postpharyngeal). Figure 7 of Dollfus (1948) appears to represent a contracted specimen where the placement of the genital pore likely appears more anterior than normal. The vitelline fields are not confluent posteriorly, placing this species in Selfcoelum. Dollfus (1948) described the oral sucker as a “Mouth opening at the anterior end of the body; the buccal funnel is surrounded by muscle and glandular tissue, but there is no bounded oral sucker” and he described the ventral sucker as a “well-formed, globular acetabulum with narrow cavity and deep opening oriented in the anterior direction of body”.

description: Geoscience Australia is increasingly looking to quantify the impact and value of the scientific work that it undertakes. Quantifying impact helps to demonstrate the return on investment from expenditure of government funds in applying geoscience to Australia's most important challenges. Recent analysis has quantified the economic and social benefits arising from precompetitive geoscience under Exploring for the Future, an Australian Government program led by Geoscience Australia that is dedicated to exploring Australia's resource potential and boosting investment. This analysis used the Impact Pathway approach to collect data and information that provides evidence of project and program impacts. The analysis demonstrates that Exploring for the Future is likely to return hundreds of dollars to the Australian economy for every dollar spent on the program. Additional modelling using REMPLAN online analytical tools helps to quantify economic and employment benefits in regional Australia. These approaches to impact assessment are also being adopted across Geoscience Australia in areas ranging from satellite Earth observation to earthquake and tsunami hazard and risk.

Evaluation of the stability of microencapsulated lycopene isomers
Creators: name: Nagy, Mark E.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Lycopene, a carotenoid primarily from tomatoes that is responsible for their red color, has been linked to several health benefits. In plant tissues, lycopene is found almost entirely as the all-trans isomer. However, in animal tissues, the lycopene isomer ratio is about 50% all-trans and 50% cis isomers. One reason for this is that cis isomers may be more bioavailable than the all-trans lycopene. Lycopene is labile to heat, light and oxygen. Cis isomers are less stable than all-trans lycopene, and can undergo retro isomerism. In an attempt to stabilize lycopene containing primarily 13-cis and 9-cis isomers, we microencapsulated lycopene via spray drying. We find that loss of lycopene during spray drying is significant and cis isomer content decreased to a larger degree than all-trans lycopene during spray drying, as determined by HPLC. Therefore optimization of spray drying parameters is especially important when spray drying cis isomers. We find no clear evidence that lycopene encapsulated with medium chain triglycerides (MCT) and gum acacia was more stable than lycopene in MCT only, and the isomer profile could not be maintained by either approach. Lycopene encapsulated with maltodextrin and Tween 80 was found to be more stable than pure lycopene, but less stable than lycopene in MCT. All formulations experienced a change in the lycopene isomer profile. Further modifications to the encapsulation formula and procedures are needed to produce a spray dried microencapsulate that has good lycopene stability interms of isomerism and degradation.

Transport phenomenon in jet impingement baking
Creators: name: Nitin, Nitin
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: In food industry, hot air jet impingement ovens are used to bake pizza shells, crackers, cookies, and to toast ready-to-eat cereals. Despite its significant applications and advantages (faster processing and better quality products) in food processing industry, there is a very limited understanding of detailed transport processes (heat and mass transport) involved in jet impingement baking. To develop quantitative understanding of transport processes during jet impingement baking, we have modeled the flow field and its associated thermal transport phenomenon for a cookie shaped and a hot dog geometry using numerical simulation and have validated it using experimental data. To predict temperature and moisture distribution during baking, we have developed four different baking models based on coupled heat and mass transfer. These models differ based on coupling of heat and mass transport terms, vapor transport, thermodiffusion and stages of a baking process.  Results of flow field and its associated thermal transport studies demonstrated that numerical simulation approach can be used to predict both flow field and thermal transport during jet impingement baking. The results highlight that local and average surface heat transfer coefficient values are a function of nozzle to plate spacing, jet inlet velocity and geometry of target product.   Comparison of temperature and moisture profiles among the models show significant differences in temperature and moisture profile. Based on comparison of these models, we established that vapor transport process is important for modeling of a baking process, while thermo-diffusion process does not make a significant contribution to moisture transport. The results also demonstrate that introduction of stages in baking based on empirical approaches can introduce artificial steps in temperature-time profile. Comparison of numerically predicted center point temperature with experimental measurements in a potato disk shows that modified model II (with vapor transport and a single stage baking process) provides the best match with the experimentally measured data.  In summary, we have modeled the complete transport process during jet impingement baking, which can predict the baking time, crust thickness, temperature and moisture distributions within the food for a given jet velocity and air temperature.

Attending the languages of the other
Creators: name: Nakamura, Rika
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: This dissertation engages in an examination of three Asian North American authors' acts of reclaiming "Asia."  I discuss the attempts made by Mitsuye Yamada, Joy Kogawa, and Nora Okja Keller to recuperate their ancestral land as a force that intervenes in their normative North American perceptions, discursive practices, and subject constructions.  Despite the current popularities in the Asian North Americanists' transnationalist, diasporic, and/or internationalist reclaimings of "Asia," what has been rarely explored is the ways in which "Asia" emerges in these authors' narratives as the Other that intervenes, disrupts, and problematizes their North American part of perceptions and experiences.  It is this exploration I undertake. My dissertation also investigates how my authors negotiate their need to seek recognitions from their dominant nations and to simultaneously disrupt the traditional and hegemonic narratives by which they procure those recognitions. In particular, I will look at the ways in which my authors reconstruct the memories of World War II: the North American internment, the atomic bombing in Japan, Japanese colonialism and sexual enslavement of Korean women as well as the difficulties of narrativizing those memories within the North American context.  Through these acts, my authors try to delineate, explore, and redress their present state of racial-ethnic experience and to seek the forms of political subjectivities in North America.  I submit that this process of negotiation, the simultaneous claiming and disclaiming each author engages, is closely connected with their endeavor to envision "Asia."  All three authors try to read, configure, and make sense of this signifier of Otherness and to attend the (non)languages of the Other which they initially dismissed as silence and/or noises.  The dissertation explores how my three authors perceive, in their different ways, their Asian Other's linguistic articulations as what makes them interrogate their normative North American perceptions and discursive practices.  Consequently, I argue that the "two languages" the authors try to access enables them to destabilize their singular perspective and vision, allowing them to interrogate their own monolingualist normality.  Finally, I investigate some instances in which this act of attending can also risk becoming an act of owning and possessing.

description: Geoscience Australia's value to the nation, outlined in our overarching Strategy 2028, is through our science. However, the way that we apply our science to support a strong economy, resilient society and sustainable environment cannot be taken for granted.

Our new Science Strategy 2028, to be launched by Geoscience Australia's Chief Scientist, Dr Steve Hill, during this event, will support Strategy 2028 in our mission to be the nation's trusted advisor on the geology and geography of Australia. It will provide strategic direction for developing and delivering the science that underpins our core business.

Dr Hill will outline how our guiding Science Principles apply to our way of working -- not just the way in which we work as an organisation, but also in the way that we work with our partners in using science to create benefits for all Australians.
Robust decentralized authentication for public keys and geographic location

description: Authentication has traditionally been done either in a decentralized manner with human assistance or automatically through a centralized security infrastructure. In the security infrastructure approach, a central trusted authority takes on the responsibility of authenticating participants within its domain of control. While the security infrastructure approach works well in traditional organizations, it does not address the needs of open membership systems.  We propose automatic decentralized authentication mechanisms for peer-to-peer systems, email systems, and ad-hoc networks. Our byzantine fault tolerant public-key authentication protocol (BPKA) provides decentralized authentication to peer-to-peer systems with honest majority. Authentication is done over an insecure asynchronous network without using trusted third parties or human input. We also authenticate public keys in the email environment through our social-group key authentication protocol (SGKA). The protocol provides end-to-end authentication at the email client without using infrastructure or centralized authorities. Finally, location authentication in ad-hoc networks is proposed through our geographical secure path routing protocol (GSPR). The protocol authenticates geographic locations of anonymous nodes in order to provide location authentication and anonymity simultaneously.

description: Excessive alcohol consumption is known to result in fatty liver, or steatosis.  A high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet also results in fatty liver.  Furthermore, fatty liver is known to precede cirrhosis in both animals and humans, and cirrhosis precedes primary hepatocellular carcinoma in humans.  A series of studies was first undertaken to determine whether exercise and/or certain dietary manipulations could affect fatty liver.  Long-Evans rats were given either a high-fat, low-carbohydrate or a high-carbohydrate, low-fat version of liquid diet with or without alcohol.  Livers were analyzed for fat and measures of carbohydrate metabolism in liver and plasma were taken, as well as blood glucose alcohol concentrations.  Next, added exercise (run wheel), caffeine, antioxidants such as Vitamin E, diphenyl-para-phenylene diamine (DPPD), and selenium were examined as were the dietary additives cranberry powder and soy protein.  Finally, based on ambiguous results involving each agent separately, caffeine and DPPD were combined.  Following the conclusion of rat studies, C57BL6 mice were given a modified version of the Leiber-deCarli liquid diet with alcohol.  The calorie manipulation described above was repeated in mice to determine whether alcohol-induced fatty liver would be exacerbated in the presence of a high-fat diet.  Subsequently, the dietary additives Vitamin E, DPPD and Trolox were added.  Striatum was taken for HPLC, and livers were taken for liver fat analysis and malondialdehyde (MDA) assay (as a measure of oxidative stress) respectively.  Finally, an experiment was undertaken to determine a time course for withdrawal seizures in mice. In rats, differences in liver glycogen did not account for differences in liver fat.  Exercise and caffeine both resulted in significant changes in weight gain, and while combined they appeared to reduce alcohol-induced fatty liver, the effect was not significant.  Separately, no protective properties of either exercise or caffeine were observed.  Vitamin E and selenium were found to exacerbate alcohol-induced fatty liver, while DPPD did not.  Neither cranberry powder nor soy protein affected alcohol-induced fatty liver.  DPPD combined with caffeine reduced alcohol-induced fatty liver significantly (p<0.05).Adult mice were able to tolerate 4.5% ethanol in a high-fat liquid diet.  The high-fat diet resulted in liver fat values significantly higher than high-carbohydrate when combined with alcohol.  Vitamin E appeared to exacerbate fatty liver in mice, but differences were not significant.  There were significant differences in oxidative stress; Vitamin E and Trolox  reduced MDA significantly over diet plus alcohol alone.  All animals experienced withdrawal seizures between 3 and 5 hours after removal of alcohol.  There were significant differences in serotonin turnover (5HIAA/5HT) in animals fed a high-fat diet without alcohol vs. chow controls.
Agile and robust resource management in CSMA wireless networks

description: With the recent push towards wireless broadband, and user migration towards mobile devices, it has become imperative for wireless networks to support higher network capacity, increased battery life, and greater mobility. While a combination of both local- and wide-area wireless technologies will be needed to meet these requirements, we believe that carrier-sense multiple-access (CSMA) wireless networks, if designed well, can play an important role in the future. Traditional CSMA wireless networks, which form the basis for today's ubiquitous wireless LAN technology--IEEE 802.11 or WiFi, cannot satisfy the stated requirements mainly because they lack efficient resource management (or resource parameter adaptation) techniques. Several fundamental characteristics of these networks, and practical implementation challenges, also limit the applicability of solutions from other domains. Taken together, these considerations force us to fundamentally re-think the design of resource parameter adaptation for CSMA wireless networks.In this dissertation, we first identify that, to satisfy the requirements, resource management techniques for CSMA wireless networks should possess two fundamental, but conflicting properties, agility, and robustness. Briefly, to provide increased bandwidth to mobile users, agile solutions are required that exploit opportunities for improved performance; at the same time, solutions cannot afford to compromise on link robustness. In addition, we realize that striking this trade-off effectively calls for different solutions in indoor and outdoor environments. To prove these hypotheses, we present the design and implementation of two resource management frameworks, Symphony and Sonata, for indoor and outdoor environments respectively. Indoors, Symphony increases network capacity and battery life for mobile clients by addressing the classical problem of joint, per-link, transmit power control and rate adaptation. For improved robustness, Symphony uses novel mechanisms based on measuring the expected transmission time (ETT), and the utility of RTS/CTS frames, while relying on a learning approach to converge quickly to the right resource parameter choice. Outdoors, the Sonata framework introduces a novel and fundamental tradeoff between directionality and base station diversity for uplink transmissions. Using a new location-based approach for improved parameter convergence, Sonata is able strike the agility-robustness tradeoff effectively.Together, these frameworks prove that, achieving the right balance between agility and robustness can enable CSMA wireless networks to transition to the wireless broadband era.

description: W. facioi (Brenes & Arroyo, 1962) n. comb.
Type host. Northern jacana or jaçana, Jacana spinosa spinosa (Linnaeus) (Charadriiformes: Jacanidae).
Type locality. Proviencia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica.
Remarks. This species was originally described as Cyclocoelum (Haematotrephus) facioi Brenes & Arroyo, 1962. It was transferred to Haematotrephus by Yamaguti (1971). It was originally described as having the vitelline fields as “joining in the posterior end” (= confluent posteriorly); however, the illustration (Fig. 5 of Brenes & Arroyo 1962) appears to show that the vitelline fields are not confluent posteriorly. In this species the pretesticular ovary forms a triangle with the testes (Haematotrephinae), the genital pore is postpharyngeal, the vitelline fields appear to not be confluent posteriorly and the testes are side by side, placing this species in Wardianum. However, if the vitelline fields are confluent posteriorly as originally described, it would likely require the erection of a new genus in the subfamily to facilitate this species. No oral or ventral sucker described—Brenes & Arroyo (1962).

Radon detection

description: The fundamental aim of this doctoral research was to determine the influence of water in the form of Humidity (% of water in air) on Radon detection.  The basic hypothesis assumes that the amount of water molecules present in the air, attached to the radon molecules, has an influence on radon detection.  A correlation can be determined between the model of water behavior and the level of radon detection - the higher the correlation the higher the influence, the lower the correlation the lower the influence.In order to control, change and measure the input variables and accurately measure the data output, the research was conducted in the laboratory, in a closed loop environment.  The equipment used was modified to ensure the integrity of the collected data and multiple experiments were conducted over a period of time.  Radon was measured by a fiber-optic scintillating detector and radon ion (+) was measured by air-ion counters. The amount of radon ion attached to the wall of the detector compartment ranged from 1.38-5.74% of the initial total flow through the system.The data produced by the experiments of count per minute of radon, relative humidity, temperature and dew-point was analyzed using SYSTAT software.  Several analytical approaches were applied and it was determined that graphs gave the best fit.  The data was normalized to minimize variations (such as the different time of the build up of the radon in the source), between the experiments.  In this way experimental data could be compared, collated and analyzed.   A model of the water behavior was needed as a base for the research.  The One Function X, One Function Y Standard Subset Equation was selected, with z= a+bLnx+cy, because it has a best degree of fitness equal to 0.995.  The same equation, applied to the experimental data produced a degree of best fitness of 0.137.  The research indicates that radon measurement is significantly influenced by water, in the form of humidity.

description: Exploring for the Future (EFTF) is a multiyear (2016–2024) initiative of the Australian Government, conducted by Geoscience Australia. This program aims to improve Australia’s desirability for industry investment in resource exploration of frontier regions across Australia. This paper will focus on the science impacts from the EFTF program in northern Australia derived from the acquisition and interpretation of seismic surveys, the drilling of the NDI Carrara 1 and also complementary scientific analysis and interpretation to determine the resource potential of the region. This work was undertaken in collaboration with the Northern Territory Geological Survey, the Queensland Geological Survey, AuScope and the MinEx CRC. These new data link the highly prospective resource rich areas of the McArthur Basin and Mt Isa Province via a continuous seismic traverse across central northern Australia. The Exploring for the Future program aims to further de-risk exploration within greenfield regions and position northern Australia for future exploration investment. [Carr]

The Sherbrook Supersequence is the youngest of four Cretaceous supersequences in the Otway Basin and was deposited during a phase of crustal extension. This presentation shows how a basin-scale gross depositional environment (GDE) map for the Sherbrook SS was constructed, the significance of the map for the Austral 3 petroleum system, and why GDE mapping is important for pre-competitive basin studies at Geoscience Australia.

Creation of a framework genetic linkage map of colonial bentgrass and the identification of genomic regions associated with dollar spot resistance.
Creators: name: Rotter, David
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L. 2n=4x=28, A2A2A3A3) is a cool season turfgrass known for its lateral growth habit, fine texture and ability to tolerate low mowing heights.  One of the biggest maintenance problems for creeping bentgrass is the fungal disease dollar spot caused by Sclerotinia homoeocarpa.  Currently the disease is controlled through heavy fungicide use but a more practical long term approach lies through the development of resistant cultivars.  Colonial bentgrass (A. capillaris L. 2n=4x=28, A1A1A2A2) is a species related to creeping bentgrass which is resistant to dollar spot.  We have generated fertile creeping x colonial bentgrass interspecific hybrids.  One plant, designated TH15, was backcrossed with a different creeping plant to generate a mapping population which segregated for dollar spot resistance.  The objective of this thesis was to determine which areas of the colonial bentgrass genome are associated with dollar spot resistance.  To do this we used the hybrid backcross population to generate a framework genetic linkage map of colonial bentgrass.  We created and annotated EST libraries for both creeping and colonial bentgrass and used these libraries as a resource for mapping genes.  A new approach to marker development, termed dideoxy polymorphism scanning, was developed to efficiently map genes on the colonial bentgrass map.  The colonial bentgrass linkage map contains 212 AFLPs and 110 gene based markers and totals 1157 cM. By comparing phenotypic data obtained from field trails we identified regions potentially associated with dollar spot resistance in colonial bentgrass.  The segregation of resistance in the backcross population suggests a three gene recessive epistasis model for dollar spot resistance in colonial bentgrass.  By comparing genotypes we identified colonial bentgrass loci on groups 2A1 and 3A1 that are common in all resistant individuals.  We hypothesize that genes related to dollar spot resistance may lie on these groups.  Other resistant backcross individuals not included in the mapping population also shared these loci proportions significantly higher then expected by random chance (p < 0.05).   This lends additional support to our model of dollar spot resistance in colonial bentgrass.
