description: Linear global instability of the three-dimensional (3-D), spanwise-homogeneous laminar separation bubble (LSB) induced by shock-wave/boundary-layer interaction (SBLI) in a Mach 7 flow of nitrogen over a $30^{\circ}-55^{\circ}$ double wedge is studied. At these conditions corresponding to a freestream unit Reynolds number, $Re_1=5.2\times 10^{4}$ m$^{-1}$, the flow exhibits rarefaction effects and comparable shock-thicknesses to the size of the boundary-layer at separation. This, in turn, requires the use of the high-fidelity Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method to accurately resolve unsteady flow features. We show for the first time that the LSB sustains self-excited, small-amplitude, 3-D perturbations that lead to spanwise-periodic flow structures not only in and downstream of the separated region, as seen in a multitude of experiments and numerical simulations, but also in the internal structure of the separation and detached shock layers. The spanwise-periodicity length and growth rate of the structures in the two zones are found to be identical. It is shown that the linear global instability leads to low-frequency unsteadiness of the triple point formed by the intersection of separation and detached shocks, corresponding to a Strouhal number of $St\sim0.02$. Linear superposition of the spanwise-homogeneous base flow and the leading 3-D flow eigenmode provides further evidence of the strong coupling between linear instability in the LSB and the shock layer.

description: Speed fluctuations of individual birds in natural flocks are moderate, due to the aerodynamic and biomechanical constraints of flight. Yet the spatial correlations of such fluctuations are scale-free, namely they have a range as wide as the entire group, a property linked to the capacity of the system to collectively respond to external perturbations. Scale-free correlations and moderate fluctuations set conflicting constraints on the mechanism controlling the speed of each agent, as the factors boosting correlation amplify fluctuations, and vice versa. Here, using a statistical field theory approach, we suggest that a marginal speed confinement that ignores small deviations from the natural reference value while ferociously suppressing larger speed fluctuations, is able to reconcile scale-free correlations with biologically acceptable group's speed. We validate our theoretical predictions by comparing them with field experimental data on starling flocks with group sizes spanning an unprecedented interval of over two orders of magnitude.

description: In this paper, we introduce the \textit{Layer-Peeled Model}, a nonconvex yet analytically tractable optimization program, in a quest to better understand deep neural networks that are trained for a sufficiently long time. As the name suggests, this new model is derived by isolating the topmost layer from the remainder of the neural network, followed by imposing certain constraints separately on the two parts of the network. We demonstrate that the Layer-Peeled Model, albeit simple, inherits many characteristics of well-trained neural networks, thereby offering an effective tool for explaining and predicting common empirical patterns of deep learning training. First, when working on class-balanced datasets, we prove that any solution to this model forms a simplex equiangular tight frame, which in part explains the recently discovered phenomenon of neural collapse \cite{papyan2020prevalence}. More importantly, when moving to the imbalanced case, our analysis of the Layer-Peeled Model reveals a hitherto unknown phenomenon that we term \textit{Minority Collapse}, which fundamentally limits the performance of deep learning models on the minority classes. In addition, we use the Layer-Peeled Model to gain insights into how to mitigate Minority Collapse. Interestingly, this phenomenon is first predicted by the Layer-Peeled Model before being confirmed by our computational experiments.

description: 1. Research Background This full-length collection of poetry addresses the question of how to represent the themes of climate change and habitat destruction through poetic language, form and voice. This research question locates the book within both national and international literary contexts. It is influenced at a local level by other Australian, book-length poetry collections that have addressed related themes, including Lisa Jacobson's 'The Sunlit Zone' and Lisa Gorton's 'Hotel Hyperion'. These ask, why is the long poem suited to the representation of historical time and public issues? What would a contemporary local epic sound like? My text makes frequent references to other local poets whose investigation of environment, ecopoetics and colonisation have informed the work; including Jill Jones, John Mateer and Lionel Fogarty. In this way, my text is interested in declaring its debt to a palimpsest of texts, and to showing a research process at work in the poem itself. Formally it is also influenced by long-form, international poetry works such as those by Anne Carson and Jorie Graham in the US, and Kendrick Smithyman and Stephen Oliver in NZ. These prompt questions including, how can one represent the individual voice and public or geopolitical history at the same time? How can large temporal and spatial settings be approached through narratives of individual lives and places? 2. Research Contribution In responding to these contexts and the questions they raise, my publication has attempted to create a book-length narrative poem that is thematically both regional and global; influenced by Australian literary voices but not explicitly identified as local in terms of narrative setting. I believe this makes an original contribution to the research question, because it declares the always-international nature of Australian poetry and poetics; and shows how this reflects the way we understand a global experience such as climate change.

Sensory mechanisms for the shift from phytophagy to haematophagy in mosquitoes
Creators: name: Peach, Daniel A. H.

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: The Culicomorpha are an infraorder of several families of blood-feeding flies, including mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae). Here we discuss the evolutionary origins of blood-feeding within the Culicomorpha and review literature that suggests this behaviour may have evolved from ancestral plant-feeding or a combination of plant-feeding and insect-feeding. Sialomic and life-history evidence suggest that plant-feeding, concurrent or not with insect-feeding, is parsimonious as an ancestral diet for Culicomorpha. We review the chemical parsimony observed between vertebrate headspace odours, floral headspace odours, and honeydew headspace odours, which are behaviourally attractive to many of the Culicomorpha. We also review the sensory and neural mechanisms involved in changes in olfactory attraction and we propose this observed chemical parsimony as a hypothesis for an associative mechanism which may have led to the development of blood-feeding from plant-feeding that is consistent with a “path of least resistance” for the sensory changes necessary to undergo host shifts

description: We have performed cough detection based on measurements from an accelerometer attached to the patient's bed. This form of monitoring is less intrusive than body-attached accelerometer sensors, and sidesteps privacy concerns encountered when using audio for cough detection. For our experiments, we have compiled a manually-annotated dataset containing the acceleration signals of approximately 6000 cough and 68000 non-cough events from 14 adult male patients in a tuberculosis clinic. As classifiers, we have considered convolutional neural networks (CNN), long-short-term-memory (LSTM) networks, and a residual neural network (Resnet50). We find that all classifiers are able to distinguish between the acceleration signals due to coughing and those due to other activities including sneezing, throat-clearing and movement in the bed with high accuracy. The Resnet50 performs the best, achieving an area under the ROC curve (AUC) exceeding 0.98 in cross-validation experiments. We conclude that high-accuracy cough monitoring based only on measurements from the accelerometer in a consumer smartphone is possible. Since the need to gather audio is avoided and therefore privacy is inherently protected, and since the accelerometer is attached to the bed and not worn, this form of monitoring may represent a more convenient and readily accepted method of long-term patient cough monitoring.

description: It is known that a trained Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM) on the binary Monte Carlo Ising spin configurations, generates a series of iterative reconstructed spin configurations which spontaneously flow and stabilize to the critical point of physical system. Here we construct a variety of Neural Network (NN) flows using the RBM and (variational) autoencoders, to study the q-state Potts and clock models on the square lattice for q = 2, 3, 4. The NN are trained on Monte Carlo spin configurations at various temperatures. We find that the trained NN flow does develop a stable point that coincides with critical point of the q-state spin models. The behavior of the NN flow is nontrivial and generative, since the training is unsupervised and without any prior knowledge about the critical point and the Hamiltonian of the underlying spin model. Moreover, we find that the convergence of the flow is independent of the types of NNs and spin models, hinting a universal behavior. Our results strengthen the potential applicability of the notion of the NN flow in studying various states of matter and offer additional evidence on the connection with the Renormalization Group flow.

description: Combinatorial optimization on near-term quantum devices is a promising path to demonstrating quantum advantage. However, the capabilities of these devices are constrained by high noise or error rates. In this paper, we propose an iterative Layer VQE (L-VQE) approach, inspired by the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE). We present a large-scale numerical study, simulating circuits with up to 40 qubits and 352 parameters, that demonstrates the potential of the proposed approach. We evaluate quantum optimization heuristics on the problem of detecting multiple communities in networks, for which we introduce a novel qubit-frugal formulation. We numerically compare L-VQE with Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) and demonstrate that QAOA achieves lower approximation ratios while requiring significantly deeper circuits. We show that L-VQE is more robust to finite sampling errors and has a higher chance of finding the solution as compared with standard VQE approaches. Our simulation results show that L-VQE performs well under realistic hardware noise.

description: Background The majority of women living in rural Kenya access antenatal care (ANC) late in pregnancy, and approximately 20% have an unmet need for family planning (FP). This study aimed to determine whether training community health volunteers (CHVs) to deliver urine pregnancy testing (UPT), post-test counselling, and referral to care was an acceptable and feasible intervention to support timely initiation of ANC and uptake of FP. Methods We applied community-based participatory methods to design and implement the pilot intervention between July 2018 and May 2019. We conducted qualitative content analysis of 12 pre-intervention focus group discussions (FGDs) with women, men, and CHVs, and of 4 post-intervention FGDs with CHVs, each with 7–9 participants per FGD group. Using a pragmatic approach, we conducted inductive line-by-line coding to generate themes and subthemes describing factors that positively or negatively contributed to the intervention’s acceptability and feasibility, in terms of participants’ views and the intervention aims. Results We found that CHV-delivered point of care UPT, post-test counselling, and referral to care was an acceptable and feasible intervention to increase uptake of ANC, FP, and other reproductive healthcare services. Factors that contributed to acceptability were: (1) CHV-delivery made UPT more accessible; (2) UPT and counselling supported women and men to build knowledge and make informed choices, although not necessarily for women with unwanted pregnancies interested in abortion; (3) CHVs were generally trusted to provide counselling, and alternative counselling providers were available according to participant preference. A factor that enhanced the feasibility of CHV delivering UPT and counselling was CHV's access to appropriate supplies (e.g. carrying bags). However, factors that detracted from the feasibility of women actually accessing referral services after UPT and counselling included (1) downstream barriers like cost of travel, and (2) some male community members’ negative attitudes toward FP. Finally, improved financial, educational, and professional supports for CHVs would be needed to make the intervention acceptable and feasible in the long-term. Conclusion Training CHVs in rural western Kenya to deliver UPT, post-test counselling, and referral to care was acceptable and feasible to men, women, and CHVs in this context, and may promote early initiation of ANC and uptake of FP. Additional qualitative work is needed to explore implementation challenges, including issues related to unwanted pregnancies and abortion, the financial burden of volunteerism on CHVs, and educational and professional supports for CHVs.

description: We extend the Levi-Civita (L-C) and Kustaanheimo-Stiefel (K-S) regularization methods that maps the classical system where a particle moves under the combined influence of $\frac{1}{r}$ and $r^2$ potentials to a harmonic oscillator with inverted sextic potential and interactions to corresponding quantum mechanical counterparts, both in 2 and 3 dimensions. Using the perturbative solutions of the Schrödinger equation of the later systems, we derive the eigen spectrum of the Hydrogen atom in presence of an additional harmonic potential. We have also obtained the mapping of a particle moving in the shifted harmonic potential to H-atom using Bohlin-Sundman transformation, for quantum regime. Exploiting this equivalence, the solution to the Schrödinger equation of the former is obtained from the solutions of the later.

description: Semantic segmentation using fine-resolution remotely sensed images plays a critical role in many practical applications, such as urban planning, environmental protection, natural and anthropogenic landscape monitoring, etc. However, the automation of semantic segmentation, i.e., automatic categorization/labeling and segmentation is still a challenging task, particularly for fine-resolution images with huge spatial and spectral complexity. Addressing such a problem represents an exciting research field, which paves the way for scene-level landscape pattern analysis and decision making. In this paper, we propose an approach for automatic land segmentation based on the Feature Pyramid Network (FPN). As a classic architecture, FPN can build a feature pyramid with high-level semantics throughout. However, intrinsic defects in feature extraction and fusion hinder FPN from further aggregating more discriminative features. Hence, we propose an Attention Aggregation Module (AAM) to enhance multi-scale feature learning through attention-guided feature aggregation. Based on FPN and AAM, a novel framework named Attention Aggregation Feature Pyramid Network (A2-FPN) is developed for semantic segmentation of fine-resolution remotely sensed images. Extensive experiments conducted on three datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our A2 -FPN in segmentation accuracy. Code is available at https://github.com/lironui/A2-FPN.

Suite for Percy Grainger: a biography

Publisher: name: RMIT University

subject: Creative writing (incl. scriptwriting)

description: Background: Following the publication of my first book 'marionette', this represents my second book-length exploration of the possibilities enabled by the merging of biography writing and the poetic form. The creative work provides a counterpart to my scholarly investigations of similar themes. 'Suite for Percy Grainger' aligns with similar biographical experimental works by such authors as Michael Ondaatje, Susan Howe and Dennis Cooley. Contribution: The poems in 'Suite for Percy Grainger' are experimental and innovative and demonstrate, through creative practice, ideas and concepts with which I am extensively engaged through critical research--i.e. exploring the poetic medium as a potential site for negotiating non-fiction content in new and exciting ways. This book offers new knowledges relating to non-fiction and biographical writing, by exploring the life, music and philosophies of composer Percy Grainger, and how his enigmatic voice can be communicated through the complexities of poetic writing. While the poems explore such concepts through practice, an essay at the end of the book critically contextualises these ideas. Significance: The book has so far been reviewed favourably in leading Australian literary journal Cordite Poetry Review and Mascara Literary Review (see attached files). I received the Felix Meyer Scholarship ($7500) for the study of Poetry, from the University of Melbourne to fund a trip to White Plains, New York, to research in the archives of Grainger House (where Grainger lived and worked for his last 40 years), and also a Varuna Residency Fellowship to support the writing of the manuscript. Further, three poems from the book were recognised through major awards: 'Arrival Platform Humlet' won the 2014 International Peter Porter Poetry Prize; '1961' won 2nd place in the 2013 National Val Vallis Award; and 'Anarchival' was longlisted for the Vice Chancellor's University of Canberra Poetry Award and published in the 2014 anthology.

description: The transition to sustainable and high-efficiency energy systems is imperative in addressing the global energy crisis, climate change, and geopolitical uncertainties. This paper presents a novel hybrid plasma-based energy generation system, designed to surpass the limitations of conventional nuclear and renewable energy technologies by integrating:

Computational simulations, thermodynamic modeling, and techno-economic analyses reveal that the proposed system achieves an energy density 15.6 times higher than conventional nuclear power plants, while operating with zero carbon emissions. Additionally, the integration of hydroelectric storage solutions optimizes energy dispatchability, reducing reliance on grid-based storage and fossil-fuel peaker plants.

Economic feasibility assessments indicate that the system enables a rapid return on investment (ROI) of approximately 1.5 years, compared to the 10+ years typically required for nuclear infrastructure amortization**. The lower capital cost per installed megawatt, coupled with modular scalability, positions this technology as a competitive alternative for large-scale power generation, particularly in industrial applications and national energy grids.

The results underscore the disruptive potential of this technology in energy security, decarbonization, and long-term sustainability**. This hybrid plasma system presents a viable pathway toward continuous, high-density, and cost-effective power generation**, aligning with global energy transition strategies and the urgent need for carbon-neutral industrial solutions.

description: The German Strategy for Adaptation to Climate Change (DAS, 2008) identified ´human health as an important sector with a need for adaptation. In line with the DAS, the Federal Environment Agency (UBA) and the Robert Koch Institute jointly elaborated guidelines for decision makers and stakeholders. Building on these, in 2013/2014, UBA has conducted a nationwide survey, collecting data on completed, ongoing and planned adaptation measures. UBA also analysed 32 adaptation strategies of the Federal States. Selected best practice examples of potential health-related prevention and adaptation measures concerning heat stress, UV radiation exposure and the spread of Ambrosia artemisiifoliaare presented in this article. The data collection with more than 330 activities can be found on the website of the German National Environment and Health Action Plan (APUG; www.apug.de, in German only). In the course of this project, the APUG website was also significantly extended with comprehensive information and overviews on health risks of climate change, hence creating a central platform for this particular topic.

description: Recently, the Lorentzian path integral formulation using the Picard-Lefschetz theory has attracted much attention in quantum cosmology. In this paper, we analyze the tunneling amplitude in quantum mechanics by using the Lorentzian Picard-Lefschetz formulation and compare it with the WKB analysis of the conventional Schrödinger equation. We show that the Picard-Lefschetz Lorentzian formulation is consistent with the WKB approximation for wave-function and the Euclidean path integral formulation utilizing the solutions of the Euclidean constraint equation. We also consider some problems of this Lorentzian Picard-Lefschetz formulation and discuss a simpler semiclassical approximation of the Lorentzian path integral without integrating the lapse function.

Heterogeneity of triple negative breast cancer : Current advances in subtyping and treatment implications

description: As the field of translational ‘omics has progressed, refined classifiers at both genomic and proteomic levels have emerged to decipher the heterogeneity of breast cancer in a clinically-applicable way. The integration of ‘omics knowledge at the DNA, RNA and protein levels is further expanding biologic understanding of breast cancer and opportunities for customized treatment, a particularly pressing need in clinically triple negative tumors. For this group of aggressive breast cancers, work from multiple groups has now validated at least four major biologically and clinically distinct omics-based subtypes. While to date most clinical trial designs have considered triple negative breast cancers as a single group, with an expanding arsenal of targeted therapies applicable to distinct biological pathways, survival benefits may be best realized by designing and analyzing clinical trials in the context of major molecular subtypes. While RNA-based classifiers are the most developed, proteomic classifiers proposed for triple negative breast cancer based on new technologies have the potential to more directly identify the most clinically-relevant biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Phospho-proteomic data further identify targetable signalling pathways in a unique subtype-specific manner. Single cell profiling of the tumor microenvironment represents a promising way to allow a better characterization of the heterogeneity of triple negative breast cancer which could be integrated in a spatially resolved context to build an ecosystem-based patient classification. Multi-omic data further allows in silico analysis of genetic and pharmacologic screens to map therapeutic vulnerabilities in a subtype-specific context. This review describes current knowledge about molecular subtyping of triple negative breast cancer, recent advances in omics-based genomics and proteomics diagnostics addressing the diversity of this disease, key advances made through single cell analysis approaches, and developments in treatments including targeted therapeutics being tested in major clinical trials.

description: 1. Research Background This publication is a folio compilation of five poems. Three of the poems were published in separate outlets; two were published together in the same outlet. The purpose of compiling these publications as a folio for reporting, is that they collectively represent the creative concerns of my poetry in 2014. These questions follow on from the completion of my second full-length poetry collection, 'Final Theory'. In developing this folio forwards from that project, I have been concerned with issues of form: returning, from the long poem, to formal brevity and fragmentation; and continuing on from my book collection with the use of dramatic voice. In doing so these poems have begun to cultivate a new area of research questions in my creative work, dealing with the limits of lyric voice: what expectations of truth does a reader have of the lyric voice? What are the effects of fictionalising the first-person poetic address? What is the relationship between confessional and riddle modes? These questions are informed by a number of local and international poets and texts. Locally, the poetries of Fiona Hile, Jennifer Maiden and Gig Ryan have developed my interest in manipulating expectations of lyricism, particularly in relation to the voice of the female poet. In terms of how this relates to Australian identity, I have drawn from the poetry of Lionel Fogarty and Michael Farrell. Internationally, my return to the short or brief form, as well as that which explores riddle and false language, responds to recent work by Vino Tauffner, Lucie Brock-Broido and Linda Kunhardt.

Planar potential flow on Cartesian grids

description: Potential flow has many applications, including the modelling of unsteady flows in aerodynamics. For these models to work efficiently, it is best to avoid Biot-Savart interactions. This work presents a grid-based treatment of potential flows in two dimensions and its use in a vortex model for simulating unsteady aerodynamic flows. For flows consisting of vortex elements, the treatment follows the vortex-in-cell approach and solves the streamfunction-vorticity Poisson equation on a Cartesian grid after transferring the circulation from the vortices onto the grid. For sources and sinks, an analogous approach can be followed using the scalar potential. The combined velocity field due to vortices, sinks, and sources can then be obtained using the Helmholtz decomposition. In this work, we use several key tools that ensure the approach works on arbitrary geometries, with and without sharp edges. Firstly, the immersed boundary projection method is used to account for bodies in the flow and the resulting body-forcing Lagrange multiplier is identified as the bound vortex sheet strength. Secondly, sharp edges are treated by decomposing the vortex sheet strength into a singular and smooth part. To enforce the Kutta condition, the smooth part can then be constrained to remove the singularity introduced by the sharp edge. These constraints and the Poisson equation are formulated as a saddle-point system and solved using the Schur complement method. The lattice Green's function is used to efficiently solve the discrete Poisson equation with unbounded boundary conditions. The method and its accuracy are demonstrated for several problems.
Always look on the bright side of disks – shadows caused by warps
Creators: name: Kimmig, Carolin
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Shadows are commonly observed in protoplanetary disks and are often linked to a misaligned inner disk region. In order to understand shadows in observations, it is important to understand the morphology of the misalignment, which depends on itsformation and evolution. This is why I investigate misalignments and warps in grid-based hydrodynamic models. Grid-based methods have the advantage over alternative methods, such as smoothed particle hydrodynamics, that low viscosities can be modeled accurately and the surface areas can be resolved well. Both aspects are important when looking at the evolution of warped protoplanetary disks. In my grid-based simulations, I investigate a stellar fly-by as a warp formation scenario. Here, the star passing by the disk can gravitationally excite the warp if its trajectory is inclined with respect to the disk plane. These hydrodynamic simulations create a physically motivated warp morphology, which can be used to extract observational signatures in radiative transfer simulations. These synthetic observations give insight into the shadows both in scattered light images, and the implications of warps on disk kinematics. In my talk, I will present the results from both hydrodynamic simulations as well as radiative transfer models related to warped disks.

description: Minimization of energy functionals is based on a discretization by the finite element method and optimization by the trust-region method. A key tool is a local evaluation of the approximated gradients together with sparsity of the resulting Hessian matrix. We describe a vectorized MATLAB implementation of the p-Laplace problem in one and two space-dimensions, however it is easily applicable to other energy formulations.

description: In this paper, a two parameters family $F_{β_1,β_2}$ of maps of the plane living two different subspaces invariant is studied. We observe that, our model exhibits two chaotic attractors $A_i$, $i=0,1$, lying in these invariant subspaces and identify the parameters at which $A_i$ has a locally riddled basin of attraction or becomes a chaotic saddle. Then, the occurrence of riddled basin in the global sense is investigated in an open region of $β_1β_2$-plane. We semi-conjugate our system to a random walk model and define a fractal boundary which separates the basins of attraction of the two chaotic attractors, then we describe riddled basin in detail. We show that the model undergos a sequence of bifurcations: "a blowout bifurcation", "a bifurcation to normal repulsion" and "a bifurcation by creating a new chaotic attractor with an intermingled basin". Numerical simulations are presented graphically to confirm the validity of our results.
