description: Nucleation is a common phenomenon in all types of galaxies and at least 70% of them host nuclear star clusters (NSCs) in their centres. Many of the NSCs co-habit with super-massive black holes and follow similar scaling relations with host galaxy properties. NSCs, unlike black holes, preserve the signature of their evolutionary path imprinted onto their kinematics and stellar populations. Thus their study provides us with important information about the formation of galactic nuclei. In this paper we explored the angular momentum of the nuclei of six intermediate mass (9.7 > log(Mdyn/M_sun) > 10.6) early-type galaxies in the Fornax cluster that host NSCs. Our goal was to derive a link between the nuclear angular momentum and the proposed formation scenarios of NSCs. We used Adaptive Optics assisted IFU observations with VLT/SINFONI to derive the spatially resolved stellar kinematics of the galaxy nuclei. We measured their specific stellar angular momenta ($λ_\mathrm{Re}$), and compared these with Milky Way globular clusters and N-body simulations of NSC formation. We found that all studied nuclei exhibit varied stellar kinematics. Their specific stellar angular momenta and ellipticities are similar to Milky Way globular clusters (GCs). Five out of six galaxy nuclei are consistent with the $λ_\mathrm{Re} - ε_\mathrm{e}$ of simulated NSCs embedded in a contaminating nuclear bulge that have formed via the in-spiralling and merging of GCs. It has previously been suggested that the NSCs in higher mass galaxies, like the ones studied in this paper, form via dissipational sinking of gas onto the galactic nuclei with hints that some might also involve the merger of GCs. Here we showed that we cannot exclude the pure GC merging scenario as a viable path for the formation of NSCs.

Acoustic Signal Processing Algorithms for Reverberant Environments

Subjects: soundfield reproduction • acoustic equalization • beamforming • reverberation • signal processing • spatial correlation • acoustic transfer function

description: This thesis investigates the design and the analysis of acoustic signal processing algorithms in reverberant rooms. Reverberation poses a major challenge to acoustic signal processing problems. It degrades speech intelligibility and causes many acoustic algorithms that process sound to perform poorly. Current solutions to the reverberation problem frequently only work in lightly reverberant environments. There is need to improve the reverberant performance of acoustic algorithms.¶ The approach of this thesis is to explore how the intrinsic properties of reverberation can be exploited to improve acoustic signal processing algorithms. A general approach to soundfield modelling using statistical room acoustics is applied to analyze the reverberant performance of several acoustic algorithms. A model of the underlying structure of reverberation is incorporated to create a new method of soundfield reproduction.¶ Several outcomes resulting from this approach are: (i) a study of how more sound capture with directional microphones and beamformers can improve the robustness of acoustic equalization, (ii) an assessment of the extent to which source tracking can improve accuracy of source localization, (iii) a new method of soundfield reproduction for reverberant rooms, based upon a parametrization of the acoustic transfer function and (iv) a study of beamforming to directional sources, specifically exploiting the directionality of human speech.¶ The approach to soundfield modelling has permitted a study of algorithm performance on important parameters of the room acoustics and the algorithm design. The performance of acoustic equalization and source tracking have been found to depend not only on the levels of reverberation but also on the correlation of pressure between points in reverberant soundfields. This correlation can be increased by sound capture with directional capture devices. Work on soundfield reproduction has shown that, though reverberation significantly degrades the performance of conventional techniques, by accounting for the reverberation it is possible to design reproduction methods that function well in reverberant environments.

description: Chapter one; “(-)-Rhazinilam and (-)-Rhazinal: Alkaloids with Anti-mitotic Properties Derived from Kopsia teoi”, provides the background information behind the motives that initiated this research project. The plant alkaloid (-)-rhazinilam [(-)-1] and its naturally-occurring derivative (-)-rhazinal [(-)-13] both exhibit potent anti-mitotic activities and, as such, are interesting targets for total synthesis. Chapter one is a review of the literature regarding these two compounds and discusses the occurrence, proposed biosynthetic origins, structural elucidation and biological activites of compound (-)-1 and that of its analogues including alkaloid (-)-13. ... ¶ Chapter two; “Investigating Asymmetric Induction in the Intramolecular Michael Addition of pyrrole to N-Tethered Acrylates and Related Species”, introduces the model study used to direct research towards achieving the goal of asymmetric induction in the title process. The model is a somewhat simplified version of the original process used in the total synthesis of compound (-)-13 involving cyclisation of the C2 of pyrrole onto an N-tethered and ?-monosubstituted Michael acceptor, to produce a tertiary-carbon stereogenic centre. ... ¶ Chapter three “An Enantioselective Total Synthesis of the Alkaloid (-)-Rhazinal: An Anti-mitotic Agent Isolated from Kopsia teoi.”, focuses on the application of methodology developed in the previous chapter, to the original goal of inducing asymmetry in the intramolecular Michael addition reaction, involving cyclisation of the C2 of pyrrole onto an N-tethered and ?,?-disubstituted acrylate to produce a quaternary-carbon stereogenic centre. ...¶ Chapter four “Extending the Reaction Manifold to the Syntheses of Related Natural Products: A Formal Total Synthesis of (+)-Aspidospermidine and Syntheses of (-)-Rhazinilam and (-)-Leuconolam from (-)-Rhazinal”, describes three extensions to the reaction manifold used in the enantioselective total synthesis of alkaloid (-)-13: ... ¶ Chapter five contains the experimental procedures and characterisation data associated with compounds described in chapters two to four.

description: Recent discoveries suggest that our gut microbiome plays an important role in our health and wellbeing. However, the gut microbiome data are intricate; for example, the microbial diversity in the gut makes the data high-dimensional. While there are dedicated high-dimensional methods, such as the lasso estimator, they always come with the risk of false discoveries. Knockoffs are a recent approach to control the number of false discoveries. In this paper, we show that knockoffs can be aggregated to increase power while retaining sharp control over the false discoveries. We support our method both in theory and simulations, and we show that it can lead to new discoveries on microbiome data from the American Gut Project. In particular, our results indicate that several phyla that have been overlooked so far are associated with obesity.

description: The performance of a Turbo code with short block length depends critically on the interleaver design. There are two major criteria in the design of an interleaver: the distance spectrum of the code and the correlation between the information input data and the soft output of each decoder corresponding to its parity bits. This paper describes a new interleaver design for Turbo codes with short block length based on these two criteria. A deterministic interleaver suitable for Turbo codes is also described. Simulation results compare the new interleaver design to different existing interleavers.

description: Decentralized Multi-agent Learning (DML) enables collaborative model training while preserving data privacy. However, inherent heterogeneity in agents' resources (computation, communication, and task size) may lead to substantial variations in training time. This heterogeneity creates a bottleneck, lengthening the overall training time due to straggler effects and potentially wasting spare resources of faster agents. To minimize training time in heterogeneous environments, we present a Communication-Efficient Training Workload Balancing for Decentralized Multi-Agent Learning (ComDML), which balances the workload among agents through a decentralized approach. Leveraging local-loss split training, ComDML enables parallel updates, where slower agents offload part of their workload to faster agents. To minimize the overall training time, ComDML optimizes the workload balancing by jointly considering the communication and computation capacities of agents, which hinges upon integer programming. A dynamic decentralized pairing scheduler is developed to efficiently pair agents and determine optimal offloading amounts. We prove that in ComDML, both slower and faster agents' models converge, for convex and non-convex functions. Furthermore, extensive experimental results on popular datasets (CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and CINIC-10) and their non-I.I.D. variants, with large models such as ResNet-56 and ResNet-110, demonstrate that ComDML can significantly reduce the overall training time while maintaining model accuracy, compared to state-of-the-art methods. ComDML demonstrates robustness in heterogeneous environments, and privacy measures can be seamlessly integrated for enhanced data protection.

Methods for Distributed Information Retrieval

distributed information retrieval

description: Published methods for distributed information retrieval generally rely on cooperation from search servers. But most real servers, particularly the tens of thousands available on the Web, are not engineered for such cooperation. This means that the majority of methods proposed, and evaluated in simulated environments of homogeneous cooperating servers, are never applied in practice. ¶ This thesis introduces new methods for server selection and results merging. The methods do not require search servers to cooperate, yet are as effective as the best methods which do. Two large experiments evaluate the new methods against many previously published methods. In contrast to previous experiments they simulate a Web-like environment, where servers employ varied retrieval algorithms and tend not to sub-partition documents from a single source. ...

description: We investigate point arrangements $v_i\in\mathbb R^d,i\in \{1,...,n \}$ with certain prescribed symmetries. The arrangement space of $v$ is the column span of the matrix in which the $v_i$ are the rows. We characterize properties of $v$ in terms of the arrangement space, e.g. we characterize whether an arrangement possesses certain symmetries or whether it can be continuously deformed into another arrangement while preserving symmetry in the process. We show that whether a symmetric arrangement can be continuously deformed into its mirror image depends non-trivially on several factors, e.g. the decomposition of its representation into irreducible constituents, and whether we are in even or odd dimensions.

description: This thesis discusses aspects of a novel solar concentrating photovoltaic / thermal (PV/T) collector that has been designed to produce both electricity and hot water. The motivation for the development of the Combined Heat and Power Solar (CHAPS) collector is twofold: in the short term, to produce photovoltaic power and solar hot water at a cost which is competitive with other renewable energy technologies, and in the longer term, at a cost which is lower than possible with current technologies. To the author’s knowledge, the CHAPS collector is the first PV/T system using a reflective linear concentrator with a concentration ratio in the range 20-40x. The work contained in this thesis is a thorough study of all facets of the CHAPS collector, through a combination of theoretical and experimental investigation. ...

Brownian dynamics simulations are introduced, in which the motions of individual ions are simulated as they move through the channel and in baths attached to each end. The techniques for setting boundary conditions which maintain ion concentrations in the baths and provide a driving potential are tested. Provided the bath size is large enough, all boundary conditions studied yield the same results. ...

To an extent, the Vagn and Ekman clusters resemble future PRACE operations in the sense that from a large data production facility there will be a need to conveniently transfer the produced data to the researchers, potentially scattered across Europe, in a safe manner with respect to data integrity. The experiences and tools developed during the Vagn-Ekman project can serve as an example for how this data flow can be carried out.

description: We propose an alternative and unifying framework for decision-making that, by using quantum mechanics, provides more generalised cognitive and decision models with the ability to represent more information than classical models. This framework can accommodate and predict several cognitive biases reported in Lieder & Griffiths without heavy reliance on heuristics nor on assumptions of the computational resources of the mind.

Huquq ijtimoiy munosabatlarni tartibga soluvchi omil sifatida jamiyat hayotida muhim o‘rin tutganidek, mehnat munosabatlarida ham huquqning o‘rni beqiyosdir. Insoniyat terisining rangi, irqi, yoshi, dini, e’tiqodi, mansabi va boshqa asoslar bilan kamsitilib keldi. Davlatchilik tamoyillarida teng huquqlilik tushunchasi unchalik ham ahamiyat kasb etmadi. Bu esa jamiyat kamsitilgan qatlamining kamsitish siyosatiga qarshi harakatlarini vujudga keltirdi.

title: Dimensionality Reduction for the Purposes of Automatic Pattern Classification
Creators: name: Strong, Stephen
Publisher: name: Griffith University

Subjects: subject: Pattern classification
subject: Pattern classification algorithms
subject: Dimensionality reduction
subject: Linear Discriminant Analysis

description: Pattern classification is a common technique used in a variety of applications. From simple tasks, such as password acceptance, to more complex tasks, such as identication by biometrics, speech recognition, and text recognition. As a result, a large number of pattern classification algorithms have emerged, allowing computers to perform these tasks. However, these techniques become less eective when excessive data on a given object is provided in comparison to the number of samples required to train. As a result, much research has been placed in nding ecient methods of reducing the dimensionality of the data while maintaining maximum classification accuracy. Dimensionality reduction aims to maximize the spread between samples of dierent classes, and mimimumize the spread between samples of the same class. A variety of methods aiming to do this have been reported in the literature. The most common methods of dimensionality reduction are Linear Discriminant Analysis and its variants. These typically focus on the spread of all the data, without regard to how spread out sections of the data already are. Few methods disregard the spread of data that is already spread out, but these are not so commonly accepted. While the classication accuracy is often better using these techniques, the computational time is often a large obstacle. This thesis will investigate several methods of dimensionality reduction, and then discuss algorithms to improve upon the existing algorithms. These algorithms utilize techniques that can be implemented on any hardware, making them suitable for any form of hardware.
title: City and Countryside: Considering the Urban after Slow Food

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Food production
subject: Food consumption
subject: Slow Food movement
subject: City and country
subject: Urban and rural lifestyle differences

subject: FOS: Civil engineering

description: The thesis regards a conceptual distinction between the city as the place for food consumption, and the countryside as the place for food production. This distinction turns to be problematic because of the illusory possibility of endless consumption generated within the city to be inconsiderate of the limitations of rural production. On this ground, the thesis demonstrates this distinction to relate to historical patterns of food production and consumption within, respectively, rural and urban environments. It does so by illustrating how the industrial expansion over the historical city walls and its consequent de-industrialization have fostered a progressive functional and physical segregation of urban spaces of consumption. The thesis acknowledges that any assumption as to the countryside’s separation from the city can be overturned by a more nuanced relationship between these two entities. This thesis argues that this can be achieved through the combined application, upon the urban environment, of selected principles of the Slow Food movement, conflating food production with the pleasure of food consumption; and a conception of agriculture not in antagonism with the city.
Geophysical perspectives of subglacial settings and their influence on glacial dynamics

Subjects: subject: Geophysics
subject: FOS: Earth and related environmental sciences

description: The subglacial settings of glaciers  and continental ice sheets serve as a fundamental, long term control on the dynamics of the ice but are also obscured by the great thickness of the ice. Integrated analysis of geophysical datasets is a fundamental tool for understanding a glacier's underpinnings. Using a combination of gravity, magnetic, radar and surface elevation data, we examine the relationship between the ice and its subglacial setting in three chapters that address the question on varying scales. The first explores the Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains, a region of high topography in the center of East Antarctica. This range is thought to be the nucleation site of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet despite the lack of evidence to constrain its age. The geophysical data suggest a crustal architecture which, when compared with global mountain ranges, provides insight to the age and origin of the Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains. We conclude that the mountains are over crust that was thickened in the Precambrian but have been been reactivated, creating their high modern relief. In the second chapter, we explore the Recovery Ice Stream in East Antarctica. Here the onset of fast flow is more than 500 km in the ice sheet interior and is thought to be linked to periodic drainages from four large Recovery Lakes. Using new aerogeophysical data in the region, we uncover two tectonic boundaries that each play a key role in the dynamics of the ice stream. The inland boundary limits the catchment of the lakes and their potential for frequent flood events. The second boundary is a transition from rugged bedrock to smooth, low-lying sediments. We conclude that the basal sediments facilitate fast flow independent of water input from the large Recovery Lakes. In the third and final chapter, we examine Jakobshavn Isbrae, West Greenland, the fastest moving non-surge glacier. Since the loss of its floating ice tongue beginning in 1998, this glacier has accelerated and now maintains fast flow speeds throughout the year. The glacier has a known subglacial trough and high driving stresses but even these optimal conditions cannot explain the late summer velocities. We find that the geophysical signals in the Jakobshavn Isbrae region require more geophysical contrasts than the coastal outcrops suggest. Specifically, we interpret a trough-centered gravity low as evidence of sediments underlying the radar-detected trough. These sediments facilitate fast flow by reducing basal resistance. Though Jakobshavn Isbrae is a glaciological endmember, its fate is linked to the underlying geology and best demonstrates the need for continued aerogeophysical survey to constrain subglacial settings. Understanding conditions at the bed is fundamental to understanding the state and fate of the planet's ice.

description: We show that, in nonequilibrium systems with small heat flows, there is a time-scale dependent effective temperature which plays the same role as the thermodynamical temperature, in that it controls the direction of heat flows and acts as a criterion for thermalization. We simultaneously treat the case of stationary systems with weak stirring and of glassy systems that age after cooling and show that they exhibit very similar behavior provided that time dependences are expressed in terms of the correlations of the system. We substantiate our claims with examples taken from solvable models with non-trivial low-temperature dynamics, but argue that they have a much wider range of validity. We suggest experimental checks of these ideas.

description: In this work I report on the development of a Magneto Optic Trap (MOT) for metastable helium atoms (He*). The metastable helium atoms are produced in a discharge nozzle source and collimated, slowed and compressed to provide a slow bright beam for loading the trap. The trap confines approximately 107 atoms, has a diameter of about 3 mm and with temperature approximately 1 mK. The trap is used for intra-trap and electron-atom scattering experiments. The results from these two experiments are reported. The electron scattering experiment is unique and employs a He* MOT for the first time, in combination with a new diagnostic technique (Phase Modulation Spectroscopy) to measure the trap loss. The results of these experiments have yielded the first total electron-metastable atom collision cross section measurements at intermediate (10-100 eV) electron energies.

description: Hybrid quantum devices enable novel functionalities by combining the benefits of different subsystems. Particularly, point defects in nanomechanical resonators made of diamond or silicon carbide (SiC) have been proposed for precise magnetic field sensing and as versatile quantum transducers. However, the realization of a hybrid system may involve tradeoffs in the performance of the constituent subsystems. In a spin-mechanical system, the mechanical properties of the resonator may suffer from the presence of engineered defects in the crystal lattice. This may severely restrict the performance of the resulting device and needs to be carefully explored. Here, we focus on the impact of defects on high Q nanomechanical string resonators made of pre-stressed 3C-SiC grown on Si(111). We use helium ion implantation to create point defects and study their accumulated effect on the mechanical performance. Using Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, we present a method to determine Young's modulus and the pre-stress of the strings. We find that Young's modulus is not modified by implantation. Under implantation doses relevant for single defect or defect ensemble generation, both tensile stress and damping rate also remain unaltered. For higher implantation dose, both exhibit a characteristic change.

description: The dynamical histories of three Galactic satellite systems have been investigated. These include the Fornax and Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxies, and the globular cluster Omega Centauri. Wide-field CCD photometry was obtained for these objects in two colours, V and I, covering a total sky area of 30 square degrees. These data were used to construct a colour-magnitude diagram for each system, which then provided a filter to select probable member stars. This technique reduced contamination from foreground stars, allowing a comprehensive examination of the poorly-known outer regions of these three Galactic satellites. ...
