description: The chemical composition of the essential oil from the fruits and leaves of Litsea cubeba (Lour.) Pers. (Lauraceae) growing wild in Baoshan region, Yunnan Province of China was investigated for the first time in 5.36% and 2.16% (w/w) yields, respectively, when analysed by GC and GC/MS. Ten and 25 components were identified in the fruit and leaf oils which constituted 99.15% and 99.4% of the oils. Of the fruit oil, the major components were neral (36.51%), geranial (44.23%), and citronella (8.77%). The major components of the leaf oil were linalool (67.37%), limonene (6.37%), β-bisabolene (6.03%), neral (5.86%), and caryophyllene oxide (3.20%). The analysis of the essential oil obtained from Baoshan revealed a significant abundance of citral and linalool in the fruits and leaves, respectively. This was the first Litsea species to exhibit β-bisabolene as the principal constituent.

description: On the utilisation and characterisation of external biotransformation systems in in vitro toxicology: protocol for a critical review
 Here we propose to specifically examine hazard assessment needs for biotransformation systems (BTS) to meet an acceptable quality standard level for regulatory applications. This includes consideration of reporting adequate, consistent characterisation of the BTS to ensure reliability, relevance, and reproducibility.
 This critical review protocol on the utilisation, characterisation, and methodology of BTS in in vitro toxicology has been prepared according to the PRISMA-P guidelines and the European food safety authority's (EFSA) guidelines for systematic reviews.

description: Motivated by the events of Black Saturday, the goal of this work was to develop a computer model to simulate the interaction between a bushfire and the atmosphere. This model was developed to provide a better understanding on how atmospheric features such as pyro-convection, cold fronts, and nocturnal bores can impact fire behaviour and increase fire risk. The research showed that it is crucial to understand the influence atmospheric conditions have on fire behaviour and how the fire modifies the atmosphere by creating its own fire weather.

description: The use of machine learning methods for unexploded ordnance (UXO) detection and classification is very limited. This limitation derives from the lack of representative and enough large training data. To over-come this issue we propose a construction of a digital twin where UXO and non-UXO objects are represented using mathematical models in a simulated Earth magnetic field. The use of digital twins allows for simulating and col-lecting a large training set which can be used for training machine learning models. In the conducted research we discuss obtained results and point out several of the detected problems.
On the effect of memory on the Prisoner's Dilemma game in correlated networks

description: Game theory is fundamental to understanding cooperation between agents. Mainly, the Prisoner's Dilemma is a well-known model that has been extensively studied in complex networks. However, although the emergence of cooperation has been investigated before, the influence of memory in its evolution is not well understood. This paper presents a detailed study of cooperation dynamics in which agents have memory. We simulate the evolutionary Prisoner's dilemma game on random, scale-free and networks presenting degree-degree correlation. Through extensive simulations, we show that assortativity can improve cooperation when the temptation to defect increases. Moreover, we show that the inclusion of memory decreases the network structure influence. Our results contribute to understanding the role of the network structure and the player's memory of cooperation.

description: The proper sorting of membrane components by regulated exchange between cellular organelles is crucial to intra-cellular organisation. This process relies on the budding and fusion of transport vesicles, and should be strongly influenced by stochastic fluctuations considering the relatively small size of many organelles. We identify the perfect sorting of two membrane components initially mixed in a single compartment as a first passage process, and we show that the mean sorting time exhibits two distinct regimes as a function of the ratio of vesicle fusion to budding rates. Low ratio values lead to fast sorting, but results in a broad size distribution of sorted compartments dominated by small entities. High ratio values result in two well defined sorted compartments but is exponentially slow. Our results suggest an optimal balance between vesicle budding and fusion for the rapid and efficient sorting of membrane components, and highlight the importance of stochastic effects for the steady-state organisation of intra-cellular compartments.

description: Deep neural networks (DNN) have made impressive progress in the interpretation of image data, so that it is conceivable and to some degree realistic to use them in safety critical applications like automated driving. From an ethical standpoint, the AI algorithm should take into account the vulnerability of objects or subjects on the street that ranges from "not at all", e.g. the road itself, to "high vulnerability" of pedestrians. One way to take this into account is to define the cost of confusion of one semantic category with another and use cost-based decision rules for the interpretation of probabilities, which are the output of DNNs. However, it is an open problem how to define the cost structure, who should be in charge to do that, and thereby define what AI-algorithms will actually "see". As one possible answer, we follow a participatory approach and set up an online survey to ask the public to define the cost structure. We present the survey design and the data acquired along with an evaluation that also distinguishes between perspective (car passenger vs. external traffic participant) and gender. Using simulation based $F$-tests, we find highly significant differences between the groups. These differences have consequences on the reliable detection of pedestrians in a safety critical distance to the self-driving car. We discuss the ethical problems that are related to this approach and also discuss the problems emerging from human-machine interaction through the survey from a psychological point of view. Finally, we include comments from industry leaders in the field of AI safety on the applicability of survey based elements in the design of AI functionalities in automated driving.

description: We study the possibility to probe the unpolarized and linearly polarized transverse momentum- dependent gluon distributions in unpolarized pp collision in charmonium and bottomonium produc- tion, employing non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) based color octet model within transverse momentum dependent (TMD) factorization framework. The transverse momentum (p T ) and rapidity distributions of J/ψ and Υ(1S) at LHCb, RHIC and AFTER energies are estimated. Significant modulations in transverse momentum spectrum of quarkonium in the low p T region is obtained when contributions of linearly polarized gluons inside an unpolarized proton are taken into account. The results of quarko- nium production in color octet model and color evaporation model are compared.

The maintenance of a colour pattern polymorphism with sex-specific fitness consequences in an Australian skink
Creators: name: GENEVIEVE DANAE MATTHEWS
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Evolutionary Biology
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: Males and females often have different needs, resulting in differential expression of the same trait. This thesis presents a model to measure the reduction in fitness during the evolution of sexual dimorphism in males and females, finding that this varies broadly. The thesis also uses a presence/absence stripe that varies in males and females of an Australian lizard to test ecological and genetic factors influencing the maintenance of variation using models and experimental data. The stripe inheritance mechanism may depend on many genes rather than a few, and its function is a combination of thermoregulation and camouflage from bird predators.

Untwining multiple parameters at the exclusive zero-coincidence points with quantum control

description: In this paper we address a special case of "sloppy" quantum estimation procedures which happens in the presence of intertwined parameters. A collection of parameters are said to be intertwined when their imprinting on the quantum probe that mediates the estimation procedure, is performed by a set of linearly dependent generators. Under this circumstance the individual values of the parameters can not be recovered unless one tampers with the encoding process itself. An example is presented by studying the estimation of the relative time-delays that accumulate along two parallel optical transmission lines. In this case we show that the parameters can be effectively untwined by inserting a sequence of balanced beam splitters (and eventually adding an extra phase shift on one of the lines) that couples the two lines at regular intervals in a setup that remind us a generalized Hong-Ou-Mandel (GHOM) interferometer. For the case of two time delays we prove that, when the employed probe is the frequency-correlated biphoton state, the untwining occurs in correspondence of exclusive zero-coincidence (EZC) point. Furthermore we show the statistical independence of two time delays and the optimality of the quantum Fisher information at the EZC point. Finally we prove the compatibility of this scheme by checking the weak commutativity condition associated with the symmetric logarithmic derivative operators.

description: The fourth Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) catalog (4FGL) contains 5064 $γ$-ray sources detected at high significance, but 26% of them still lack associations at other wavelengths. The SPT-SZ survey, conducted between 2008 and 2011 with the South Pole Telescope (SPT), covers 2500 $\mathrm{deg^2}$ of the Southern sky in three millimeter-wavelength (mm) bands and was used to construct a catalog of nearly 5000 emissive sources. In this study, we introduce a new cross-matching scheme to search for multi-wavelength counterparts of extragalactic $γ$-ray sources using a mm catalog. We apply a Poissonian probability to evaluate the rate of spurious false associations and compare the multi-wavelength associations from the radio, mm, near-infrared, and X-ray with 4FGL $γ$-ray sources. In the SPT-SZ survey field, 85% of 4FGL sources are associated with mm counterparts. These mm sources include 94% of previously associated 4FGL sources and 56% of previously unassociated 4FGL sources. The latter group contains 40 4FGL sources for which SPT has provided the first identified counterparts. Nearly all of the SPT-associated 4FGL sources can be described as flat-spectrum radio quasars or blazars. We find that the mm band is the most efficient wavelength for detecting $γ$-ray blazars when considering both completeness and purity. We also demonstrate that the mm band correlates better to the $γ$-ray band than the radio or X-ray bands. With the next generation of CMB experiments, this technique can be extended to greater sensitivities and more sky area to further complete the identifications of the remaining unknown $γ$-ray blazars.

description: The amyloplast, chloroplast and mitochondrial organelles play key roles in the development of rice, an agronomically important crop. Although the genetic aspects of these organelles are well studied in rice, their epigenetic characteristics have not been thoroughly characterized. Thus, this PhD project has explored both the genetics and epigenetics of amyloplast, chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA focusing on DNA methylation and small RNA epigenetics. Bioinformatics analyses were carried out using Next-Generation sequencing and publicly available sequencing data. The information gathered in this thesis provides insights into the biology of organellar DNA in rice.

description: Upcoming spectroscopic redshift surveys use emission line galaxies (ELGs) to trace the three-dimensional matter distributions with wider area coverage in the deeper Universe. Since the halos hosting ELGs are young and undergo infall towards more massive halos along filamentary structures, contrary to a widely employed luminous red galaxy sample, the dynamics specific to ELGs should be taken into account to refine the theoretical modelling at non-linear scales. In this paper, we scrutinise the halo occupation distribution (HOD) and clustering properties of ELGs by utilising IllustrisTNG galaxy formation hydrodynamical simulations. Leveraging stellar population synthesis technique coupled with the photo-ionization model, we compute line intensities of simulated galaxies and construct mock H$α$ and [OII] ELG catalogues. The line luminosity functions and the relation between the star formation rate and line intensity are well consistent with observational estimates. Next, we measure the HOD and demonstrate that there is a distinct population for the central HOD, which corresponds to low-mass infalling halos. We then perform the statistical inference of HOD parameters from the projected correlation function. Our analysis indicates that the inferred HODs significantly deviate from the HOD measured directly from simulations although the best-fit model yields a good fit to the projected correlation function. It implies that the information content of the projected correlation function is not adequate to constrain HOD models correctly and thus, it is important to employ mock ELG catalogues to calibrate the functional form of HOD models and add prior information on HOD parameters to robustly determine the HOD.

description: Economic decision analysis is an important tool for developing cost-efficient adaptation pathways in sectors that involve costly adaptation options, such as flood risk management. Standard economic approaches, however, do not consider learning about future changes in climate variables even though a large literature on adaptive planning emphasises the key role of learning over time, because uncertainties about climate change are substantial. An emerging, diverse and fragmented set of economic adaptive decision making approaches, coming under labels such as real-option analysis or optimal control, have started to address this challenge by including the economic valuation of learning in the economic appraisal of adaptation options through making use of so-called climate learning scenarios. We synthesise this literature and classify the climate learning scenarios applied with respect to which climate variable is learned about, which learning sources are employed, how the learning is modelled, which climate data is used for calibrating learning scenarios, which goodness of fit information is provided and how deep uncertainty is handled. Our results show that publications consider learning through observations or do not explicitly state the source of learning. Most authors generate climate learning scenarios through stochastic processes or Bayesian approaches and use climate model output from the IPCC or the UK Met Office to calibrate the learning scenarios. The reviewed literature rarely provides information on the goodness of fit of learning scenarios to the underlying climate data. We conclude that most of the methods used to generate climate learning scenarios are not well-grounded in climate science and are inadequate to represent climate uncertainty. One avenue to improve climate learning scenarios would be to combine a Bayesian approach with emulators that mimic climate model runs based on observations from future moments in time.

description: Pyrrolidines are ubiquitous chemical compounds. They are five-membered cyclic amines, found in many natural products, pharmaceuticals and catalysts. The synthesis of pyrrolidines and especially their enantioselective synthesis, is an important and long-standing challenge in organic chemistry. The research undertaken during the course of this PhD sought to explore new approaches for their formation. Consequently, this thesis has successfully detailed novel methods of accessing two distinctive reactive intermediates that were transformed into the required pyrrolidines and other functionalised amines. In addition, a modestly enantioselective reaction was also discovered, that is viable for future optimisation.

description: The long range spin chains play an important role in the gauge/string duality. The aim of this paper is to generalize the recently introduced transfer matrices of integrable medium range spin chains to long range models. These transfer matrices define a large set of conserved charges for every length of the spin chain. These charges agree with the original definition of long range spin chains for infinite length. However, our construction works for every length, providing the definition of integrable finite size long range spin chains whose spectrum already contains the wrapping corrections.

description: Die zweite Generation des DVB- (Digital Video Broadcasting) Standards für die digitale terrestrische Fernsehausstrahlung (DVB-T2) wurde mit Hilfe eines Toolbox-Konzepts entwickelt. Verglichen mit seinem Vorgänger DVB-T enthält der neue Standard viele neue Algorithmen und ermöglicht eine flexible Parameterauswahl. Die Parameter lassen sich perfekt für jedes Empfangsszenario optimieren, ausgehend vom stationären Empfang mit Dachantennen, bis hin zum portablen oder mobilen Empfang. Viele Länder haben bereits DVB-T2 eingeführt. Die Netze wurden aber vor allem für den stationären Empfang optimiert. Im Gegensatz dazu ist der stationäre Empfang keine relevante Option für eine mögliche Nutzung von DVB-T2 in Deutschland. Eine eventuelle Einführung würde sich auf die Vorteile des terrestrischen Rundfunks im Vergleich zu Satellit und Kabel konzentrieren, d. h die Möglichkeit, mit portablen und mobilen Empfängern TV-Programme zu nutzen. Innerhalb eines umfangreichen Feldversuchs in Norddeutschland wurde die Leistung der unterschiedlichen Parameter-Konfigurationen und der neuen Algorithmen von DVB-T2 z. B. M-PLP (Multiple Physical Layer Pipes), Rotated Constellations, MISO (Multiple Input Single Output) im Detail analysiert. Dieser Beitrag stellt den Modellversuch und dessen Ergebnisse vor, die auf Tausenden von Einzelmessungen beruhen. Darüber hinaus gibt das Dokument einen kurzen Überblick über die optimalen Parameter-Konfigurationen für Deutschland.

description: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a concept of social responsibility that aims to inform the public about a company's social actions and their effects on society while also addressing the company's long-term viability (Many corporate social responsibility approaches in developing economies are based on developed-country norms and frameworks. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the moderating effects of firm financial performance relationship between board diversity, board meeting and corporate social responsibility disclosure in listed non-financial companies in particular. The sample data utilized in this study consists of 161 firms in Nigeria's listed non-financial companies throughout a ten-year period (2013-2022). Women on boards, board meetings, profitability are the variables considered as interaction variables to affect business performance. Firm size, and age are all control factors. Regression models were used to analyze the data. The findings of this study showed that Nigerian non-financial company release information based on women on boards, board make up, community characteristics, employee information, and other factors. However, the result of the joint interaction of   board diversity and board meetings reveals a strong moderating effect on the relationship between board diversity and board meetings and corporate social responsibility disclosure, which is positive and statistically significant. The results presented reveals sufficient evidence that profitability are positively significant moderating effect on the relationship between BM,WOB and CSRD and therefore the null hypothesis (H01,H02) of the study is rejected. Firms should also focus on corporate social responsibility for the improvement of firm performance and internal corporate governance practices. Thus, governments and regulatory authorities should focus on corporate social responsibility for firms, which may reduce those industrial negative impacts on the environment

description: Enabling scalable and energy-efficient control of spin defects in solid-state media is desirable for realizing transformative quantum information technologies. Exploiting voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy, we report coherent manipulation of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers by the spatially confined magnetic stray fields produced by a proximate resonant magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). Remarkably, the coherent coupling between NV centers and the MTJ can be systematically controlled by a DC bias voltage, allowing for appreciable electrical tunability in the presented hybrid system. In comparison with current state-of-the-art techniques, the demonstrated NV-based quantum operational platform exhibits significant advantages in scalability, device compatibility, and energy-efficiency, further expanding the role of NV centers in a broad range of quantum computing, sensing, and communications applications.

description: CD4 count is an important immunological marker of disease progression in HIV seropositive patients. This study was carried out to determine the effect of malaria or fever of unknown origin on the population of CD4+ T lymphocytes of HIV seropositive patients attending the highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) clinic of the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Nigeria. 36 subjects were selected for this study. Ongoing history of fever was used as a case definition for malaria and malaria was confirmed from microscopic examination of thick and thin film of blood sample obtained from the patients during presentation with fever. The CD4 count was evaluated during presentation of fever and post-fever using flow cytometry. There was significant decrease in CD4 count of the patients. However, upon classifying the patients into 2 groups – those that returned to the clinic after a week and those that returned after a month; a significant increase in CD4 count was noticed in the group that returned after a week, while a significant decrease was noticed in the group that returned after a month (at p value of 95 %). Further classification of the patients based on presence of malaria parasite, and body temperature resulted in varying effects on CD4 count post-fever (in the general group, 27 were positive for malaria parasites). Of these 27, there was an increase in CD4 count in 9 (33.3 %). However in the group that returned after a week, all 6 (100 %) that were positive for malaria parasites showed increase in CD4 count. Five (26.3 %) of the 19 patients that had body temperature within the range of 35.5-37.4 °C showed an increase in CD4 count, while 7 (41.2 %) of the 17 patients that had body temperature of 37.5 °C and above showed an increase in CD4 count. The results led to the conclusion that while some components of the immune response to malaria could strengthen the immune system of HIV seropositive patients by increasing their CD4 count, other components will suppress their immunity by decreasing their CD4 count, accelerating the progression to AIDS.

description: Human genetic diseases can potentially be treated by replacing damaged or defective DNA. It is however extraordinarily difficult to introduce foreign DNA into living organisms. My project focused on developing a well-known bacteria species called Escherichia coli (E. coli) to efficiently deliver engineered DNA into human cells. I tested combining E. coli with reagents called lipids, which are naturally attracted to cells. These lipids were able to significantly improve the ability of E. coli to deliver therapeutic DNA; providing insights into the potential for the use of bacteria in molecular therapy.

description: Das Anderson-Modell zur Beschreibung von Verbindungen mit magnetischen Störstellen steht seit vielen Jahren im Mittelpunkt des Interesses vieler Physiker. In dieser Arbeit wird zunächst eine Erweiterung der häufig verwendeten Non-Crossing Approximation vorgestellt, die sich direkt aus den Diagrammregeln der Keiter-Kimball-Störungstheorie für das Ein-Störstellen-Anderson-Modell herleiten lässt und das Tief-Temperatur-Verhalten des Modells besser beschreibt. Anhand des mathematischen Self-Avoiding Walks werden anschließend die Unterschiede zwischen echt endlichen bzw. genuin unendlichen Raumdimensionen aufgezeigt. Diese sind für die Dynamische-Mean-Field-Theorie (DMFT) zur Behandlung eines Gittermodells, welches in unendlichen Raumdimensionen exakt auf ein Ein-Störstellen-System mit einem effektiven Band abgebildet wird, von großer Bedeutung. Ferner wird bewiesen, dass die Coherent Potential Approximation eine Spezialisierung der DMFT auf ungeordnete Systeme darstellt. Durch das Anwenden der DMFT auf den klassischen Schrieffer-Wolff-Limes des Anderson-Modells stellt sich im nächsten Teil heraus, dass der von Keiter und Leuders gefundene Analytizitätsschnitt im effektiven Band keine allgemeine Schwierigkeit der DMFT darstellt. Wie im letzten Kapitel der Arbeit gezeigt wird, ist dieser vielmehr ein echtes Vielteilchenphänomen im periodischen Anderson-Modell, der sich auch bei allen numerischen Berechnungen bestätigt.

description: We examined the effect of amount of muscle mass involved in moderate-intensity continuous physical exercise on executive function. To this end, fifty-five participants completed two acute physical exercise sessions on an airbike ergometer using the upper and lower limbs simultaneously and only the upper limbs, and a resting control session in a randomized order. The physical exercise session lasted 30 min and was performed at moderate intensity (between 64 %–76 % of maximal heart rate evaluated in graded maximal exercise testing). Participants took the Stroop test (congruent and incongruent trials) before and after the sessions to assess executive performance. For the congruent trial, both physical exercise interventions improved executive function performance (pre vs. post, p-value = 0.002 and 0.003 for physical exercise with upper limbs and physical exercise with upper and lower limbs, respectively). Furthermore, executive function performance was higher after the physical exercise interventions than after the control session (p-value = 0.002 and 0.004 for physical exercise with upper limbs and physical exercise with upper and lower limbs, respectively). For the incongruent trial, both physical exercise interventions also improved executive function performance (pre vs. post, p-value < 0.001 for physical exercise with upper limbs and physical exercise with upper and lower limbs, respectively). However, there were no significant differences after both physical exercise interventions and resting control session (p-value = 0.175). Executive function (congruent trial) was positively impacted by acute aerobic physical exercise regardless of the amount of muscle mass involved (upper limbs or upper plus lower limbs). Therefore, we recommend aerobic physical exercise with less or more muscle mass involved to improve cognitive function.

description: We herein present a first-principles formulation of the Green-Kubo method that allows the accurate assessment of the non-radiative thermal conductivity of solid semiconductors and insulators in equilibrium ab initio molecular dynamics calculations. Using the virial for the nuclei, we propose a unique ab initio definition of the heat flux. Accurate size- and time convergence are achieved within moderate computational effort by a robust, asymptotically exact extrapolation scheme. We demonstrate the capabilities of the technique by investigating the thermal conductivity of extreme high and low heat conducting materials, namely diamond Si and tetragonal ZrO$_2$.
