description: High resolution images can be acquired using a non-regular sampling sensor which consists of an underlying low resolution sensor that is covered with a non-regular sampling mask. The reconstructed high resolution image is then obtained during post-processing. Recently, it has been shown that the temporal correlation between neighboring frames can be exploited in order to enhance the reconstruction quality of non-regularly sampled video data. In this paper, a new recursive multi-frame reconstruction approach is proposed in order to further increase the reconstruction quality. By using a new reference order, previously reconstructed frames can be used for the subsequent motion estimation and a new weighting function allows for the incorporation of multiple pixels projected onto the same position. With the new recursive multi-frame approach, a visually noticeable average gain in PSNR of up to 1.13 dB with respect to a state-of-the-art single-frame reconstruction approach can be achieved. Compared to the existing multi-frame approach, a gain of 0.31 dB is possible. SSIM results show the same behavior as PSNR results. Additionally, the pre-reconstruction step of the existing multi-frame approach can be avoided and the new algorithm is, in general, capable of real-time processing.

description: The pollution and potential health risk due to lifetime exposure to heavy metals in urban soil of China were evaluated, based on the urban soil samples collected from published papers from 2005 to 2014. The contamination levels were in the order of Cd > Hg > Cu > Zn > Pb >As > Ni > Cr, and Hg and Cd fell into the category of “moderately contaminated” to “heavily contaminated.” The non-carcinogenic risk for different populations varied greatly, among which children faced high risk, and then the adult female and adult male followed. The hazard index (non-carcinogenic risk) higher than 1.00 occurred in Shanghai, Gansu, Qinghai, Hunan, and Anhui, whereas most of those in northern and western China had low risks. For the carcinogenic risk, Anhui and Ningxia provinces had urban soils exceeding the safe reference (1 × 10−6–1 × 10−4). Qinghai and Gansu had high carcinogenic risks since their risk indexes were much closer to the reference, and the others were in low risk.

description: Strutural separation is a recurring issue in debate over telecommunications regulation. Some general conclusions flow from a review of the literature. In the first place, it is not clear that the current integrated structure of Telstra is needed for efficiency. Secondly, the net benefits of structural separation would depend critically on the particular pattern of separation that is proposed. Finally, enhanced separation would only be worthwhile if it would influence the incentives confronting Telstra managers. Copyright 2008 Warwick Davis and Phillip L. Williams.

description: Oral insulin delivery is often limited by protease degradation. 2-(Dimethylamino)-2-oxoethyl 4-(4-guanidinobenzoyloxy)phenylacetate methanesulphonate (Camostat mesylate) is reported to have the ability to inhibit trypsin activity, which is the main protease responsible for protein degradation. This study attempted to form a novel nanoparticle by covalently conjugating 4-(2-(2-aminoethylamino)-2-oxoethyl)phenyl 4-guanidinobenzoyloxy (FOY-251), an active derivative of camostat mesylate, to the backbone of poly (γ-glutamic acid) (γ-PGA), in order to improve insulin stability against protease. Goblet cell targeting CSKSSDYQC (CSK) peptide was demonstrated to effectively improve the epithelial absorption of insulin. Therefore, the novel nanoparticle was prepared by mixing cationic peptide modified trimethyl chitosan (TMC-CSK) with anionic γPGA-FOY conjugate using multi-ion crosslinked method. Results showed that not only the γPGA-FOY conjugate but also the prepared novel nanoparticle could inhibit trypsin activity both in vitro environment and on the intestinal mucosal surface. This study would be beneficial for peptide modified nanoparticles in oral insulin delivery.

description: The Rudd government announced in 2009 its intention to roll out a fibre-to-the-home optical fibre-based national broadband network, proclaiming that the initiative would be a historic nation-building investment focussed on Australia's long-term national interest. This paper examines the appropriateness of such a vision where the network, being a government-mandated provider of last resort carrying lifeline telecommunication services, is to rely on infrastructure held up by electricity poles. An initiative so constructed outstandingly fails the basic notion of creating 21st century broadband as a building block of Australia's future digital economy. Copyright 2010 Ross Kelso.

description: Modern processors, in particular within the server segment, integrate more cores with each generation. This increases their complexity in general, and that of the memory hierarchy in particular. Software executed on such processors can suffer from performance degradation when data is distributed disadvantageously over the available resources. To optimize data placement and access patterns, an in-depth analysis of the processor design and its implications for performance is necessary. This paper describes and experimentally evaluates the memory hierarchy of AMD EPYC Rome and Intel Xeon Cascade Lake SP server processors in detail. Their distinct microarchitectures cause different performance patterns for memory latencies, in particular for remote cache accesses. Our findings illustrate the complex NUMA properties and how data placement and cache coherence states impact access latencies to local and remote locations. This paper also compares theoretical and effective bandwidths for accessing data at the different memory levels and main memory bandwidth saturation at reduced core counts. The presented insight is a foundation for modeling performance of the given microarchitectures, which enables practical performance engineering of complex applications. Moreover, security research on side-channel attacks can also leverage the presented findings.
IPTV in Australia: an assessment of prospects and constraints

description: The challenge for aspiring providers of IPTV services is the current high cost of quality video content and high speed and high capacity broadband access. If local consumers are required to pay directly for all or most of IPTVs content and delivery costs, then the take-up and utilisation of such services is likely to be slower and more limited than many have predicted. For there to be more rapid and widespread take-up and usage of services, innovative business models will need to be developed so that such content and distribution costs can be subsidised by, or co-shared with, other parties.

Would you consider using online virtual worlds for meetings?

description: Technology analysts Gartner have made a number of noted observations about the move of 3D virtual environments into mainstream online use. Two years ago they predicted that 'by 2011, 80 percent of active Internet users would have a second life but not necessarily in Second Life' (Gartner 2007). Knowing the focus of Gartner on business, this is a very strong statement about future corporate use of the virtual world. However, more recently they plotted the path of virtual worlds in the hype cycle, and determined that it was sitting at the bottom of the disillusionment trough. (Virtual Worlds News 2009) The good news is that in Gartners world, hyped expectation gives way to real benefit. Out of the nadir comes what Gartner calls the slope of enlightenment', indicating that mainstream adoption is less than five years away. It asserts that virtual worlds, in the company of Web 2.0 and cloud computing, are firmly set on this path.For the moment however, many potential users consider virtual worlds are not there yet. And whilst the education and training sector is marching in with more than mere curiosity, the true believers are asking why take-up in the enterprise sector is lagging behind. So would you consider meeting your customers and colleagues in a virtual world? This paper looks at why you might consider it seriously. Copyright 2009 Mandy Salomon.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: The stability of statistical analysis is an important indicator for reproducibility, which is one main principle of scientific method. It entails that similar statistical conclusions can be reached based on independent samples from the same underlying population. In this paper, we introduce a general measure of classification instability (CIS) to quantify the sampling variability of the prediction made by a classification method. Interestingly, the asymptotic CIS of any weighted nearest neighbor classifier turns out to be proportional to the Euclidean norm of its weight vector. Based on this concise form, we propose a stabilized nearest neighbor (SNN) classifier, which distinguishes itself from other nearest neighbor classifiers, by taking the stability into consideration. In theory, we prove that SNN attains the minimax optimal convergence rate in risk, and a sharp convergence rate in CIS. The latter rate result is established for general plug-in classifiers under a low-noise condition. Extensive simulated and real examples demonstrate that SNN achieves a considerable improvement in CIS over existing nearest neighbor classifiers, with comparable classification accuracy. We implement the algorithm in a publicly available R package snn.

Landsat imaging has developed significantly since the first Landsat satellite launch in 1965. Data now available from these can provide beneficial applications including improved water management, crop assessment, land clearing, soil erosion, salt contamination and pollution. Access by farmers and graziers to information and analyses from commercial organisations via high speed broadband on land conditions and the effects of some agricultural practices provides an opportunity to prevent or minimise environmental damage and support effective use of water resources.

description: Purpose: To investigate the expression of tribbles homologue 3 (TRB3) and its regulation on endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-induced photoreceptor apoptosis after retinal detachment (RD) using a rat model.Methods: RD animal model was created in Wistar rats by subretinal injection of 1% sodium hyaluronate. At various time points after RD, expression of TRB3 was detected by quantitative real-time PCR and Western blotting. TRB3 protein distribution in retina was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. RNA interference was used to inhibit TRB3 expression and subretinal injection of lentivirus TRB3 shRNA (LV-TRB3-sh) was performed. The rats were then randomly divided into four groups: normal control group, RD group, vehicle + RD group and LV-TRB3-sh + RD group. The mRNA and protein level of TRB3 as well as Caspase-12 were detected. TdT-mediated fluorescein-16-dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay was used to detect the apoptosis of retinal cells. Retinal outer nuclear layer (ONL) thickness was measured to assess retina damage in each group.Results: TRB3 expression and TRB3-positive cell count were significantly increased after RD and peaked at day 3 after RD. The ratio of TUNEL-positive photoreceptors and expression of ERS-induced apoptosis marker Caspase-12 in LV-TRB3-sh + RD group were significantly reduced. The ONL thickness in LV-TRB3-sh + RD group was thicker than that both in RD group and vehicle + RD group.Conclusion: TRB3 expression is up-regulated in retinas after RD and knockdown of TRB3 protects photoreceptors against ERS-induced apoptosis. TRB3 may be a crucial molecule in photoreceptor apoptosis induced by ERS after RD.

description: The structure, electronic structure, elastic and optical properties of pure CaF2 and Eu:CaF2 are investigated by performing the generalized gradient approximation in the frame of density functional theory. The obtained lattice constant, band structure, elastic constants and imaginary part of dielectric function of pure CaF2 agree well with the experimental and other theoretical results. These properties of Eu:CaF2 are also calculated, and it follows that Eu doping leads to the crystal structure distorted, as well as the spin polarization of the system. Especially an impurity band is introduced in the bandgap, above the Fermi level, in the band structure of the Eu:CaF2, narrowing the bandgap. In addition, it is observed that the optical peaks of Eu:CaF2 shift towards the longer wavelength side, and the peak intensities drop compared with pure CaF2. Furthermore, Eu doping induces a series of new peaks in the optical properties, which is probably caused by the transitions of the 4f electrons of the Eu atoms. It is worth mentioning that the effect of pressure on the optical properties of Eu:CaF2 is also studied, we can hold that the optical peaks will have a blueshift.

description: The impending mass electrification of road transport, driven by concerns for climate change and sustainability, enables an opportunity to substantially reduce greenhouse emissions from passenger vehicles and to simultaneously provide services to the electricity grid. Electricity grids are characterised by a lack of storage capacity, which can be provided by grid connected electric vehicles charging and discharging their batteries under centralised control. This paper argues that the Vehicle to Grid (V2G) methodology offers operational, financial and sustainability synergies between vehicles and electricity grids. Broadband communications is an essential service to facilitate the aggregation, distributed control and metering of V2G services. Copyright 2008 Mike Dennis and Bethany Thompson.

description: The penetration of broadband services in rural areas is constrained by the cost of network deployment. Deployment costs are higher than in urban areas due to the lower population density. In this paper, we examine the deployment costs of three broadband access technologies; passive optical network (PON), fibre-to-the-node, digital subscriber line (FTTN DSL) and broadband wireless (WiMAX). We show that access technologies with a range of 60 km can reach most rural customers (99% in Victoria). We have demonstrated that long-range PON can provide error free service at this range.Based on a number of assumptions, we have calculated the deployment cost of optimised networks for each technology for a range of rural areas in Victoria. A geographic information system was used to identify actual household locations and distances along roads. The deployment of optical fibre is the largest single cost component for both PON and FTTN DSL (and is significant for wireless) because the broadband access networks must be node based to span the distances needed. Consequently, the cost differences between the alternative technologies are not as great as might be expected.For broadband services with access rates around 20 Mbit/s without contention, FTTN DSL offers the lowest deployment cost for most rural households. For 50 Mbit/s and above, PON offers the lowest deployment costs for rural households. Copyright 2009 John Ellershaw, Jennifer Riding, Alan Lee, An Vu Tran, Lin Jie Guan, Rod Tucker, Timothy Smith.

Network neutrality - Just who owes who in the Internet content economy?
Creators: name: Huston, Geoff
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The debate over network neutrality is reflective of a longstanding tension in the communications and transportation industries between carriage and content. The shift in the underlying business models of the Internet through the use of the Internet's open architectures has allowed content providers to have direct access to the end user without the more traditional, and often extremely lucrative, intervention of the carriage provider. And now the carriage providers are crying foul, taking the stance that content providers are having a free ride over the carriage providers' infrastructure investments, and are threatening to block such freeloaders from their networks. This debate, often termed a debate about network neutrality is really a debate about money of course, and the critical question of who should pay and who should receive in the new content economy that has been created by the Internet.

Wresting the crop from the traditional farmer: the entrepreneurial developer in new media business models
Creators: name: Rickard, Scott
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Entrepreneurial social developers play a significant role in new media business models. Traditional media models operated within an environment where technology that enabled content production and provision, was owned and managed by the content producer. In new media models, this relationship is overturned. Entrepreneurial social developers have empowered end users by enabling them to become content producers. This has ensured that media companies are no longer the sole owners of tools that enable content production and provision. What end users have previously lacked is the skill to create a method of dissemination. During the last five years, entrepreneurial developers have acted as conduits providing end users with access to web based platforms such as Facebook, and sites that assist in the dissemination of end user content and which now also promote social networks, such as video (YouTube), photographs (Flickr), text by blog (WordPress) and micro blogs (Twitter). Entrepreneurial developers have provided platforms and web sites for user-generated content to be disseminated and possibly form part of a package of content provided by business organisations to their end users and consumers.This paper outlines some new media models that are emerging as a result of these innovative developments. It suggests that there are four models of macro integration, 'gregarious', 'friendly', 'solitary' and 'neighbourly'. The fourth model 'neighbourly' introduces FarmVille as a case study to illustrate the trend of social games like FarmVille, and how the tactics they apply to engage users can be applied in other areas.

It uses two aspects of Australian law one in broadcasting and the other in copyright to examine whether the Internet exclusions enacted truly apply to such IPTV. The conclusion reached is that neither applies for the same reason; IPTV in the form outlined does not implicate the Internet. Copyright 2010 David Brennan.

description: Investment in 'next generation' (very high speed) broadband infrastructure is expected to enable access to services that will provide citizens with social and economic benefits. Developing services for access using broadband infrastructure can be quite complicated however. This paper explores how services can be delivered over broadband network infrastructure, outlining four broad categories of access devices, three service delivery platforms and two types of networks. Using Australian data, the paper explores user behaviours and expectations around service delivery, illustrating the need for diversity and choice of service offerings. It also notes the importance of mobile services, and makes the case that wireless broadband connectivity should be part of a national broadband infrastructure. Copyright 2010 Catherine Middleton.

description: An international online database was launched in 2009 by the Mobile Manufacturers Forum on accessibility features on mobile phones for people with disabilities (AMTA 2009). This was a direct result of the development of an Australian Industry Code about information on accessibility features for telephone equipment.This paper outlines the need for phone accessibility information by consumers and describes the complex processes that led to this new service. It examines the code development process and its difficulties. It is an example of the need to consider changing the self-regulatory model to better benefit consumers with disabilities.

An Australian smart electric grid - Critical infrastructure for addressing global warming
Creators: name: Herron, Brendan
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Smart Grid systems (high performance communications and distributed intelligence overlaid on the 100+ year old electric grid) have the potential to be the single largest contributor to a solution for global warming available today. Electric power produces 35% of Australias greenhouse gases and studies indicate that a Smart Grid could reduce total greenhouse gases by nearly 9%. Unfortunately, the focus of some utilities and regulators on installing so called "Smart Meters" (at an estimated cost of $2.7 to $4.3 billion for 100% rollout in Australia) may result in an increase in greenhouse gases rather a reduction.

description: Earth observation from satellites offers the possibility to monitor our planet with unprecedented accuracy. Radiative transfer models (RTMs) encode the energy transfer through the atmosphere, and are used to model and understand the Earth system, as well as to estimate the parameters that describe the status of the Earth from satellite observations by inverse modeling. However, performing inference over such simulators is a challenging problem. RTMs are nonlinear, non-differentiable and computationally costly codes, which adds a high level of difficulty in inference. In this paper, we introduce two computational techniques to infer not only point estimates of biophysical parameters but also their joint distribution. One of them is based on a variational autoencoder approach and the second one is based on a Monte Carlo Expectation Maximization (MCEM) scheme. We compare and discuss benefits and drawbacks of each approach. We also provide numerical comparisons in synthetic simulations and the real PROSAIL model, a popular RTM that combines land vegetation leaf and canopy modeling. We analyze the performance of the two approaches for modeling and inferring the distribution of three key biophysical parameters for quantifying the terrestrial biosphere.

description: Treatment of 1,2-C6H4(SiMe2H)(SiH3) (1) with Pt(dcpe)(PEt3)2 (dcpe = Cy2PCH2CH2PCy2) in dry toluene at room temperature in the ratio of 1 : 1 leads to {1,2-C6H4(SiMe2)(SiH2)}PtII(dcpe) (2), which can react with sterically unhindered alcohol to form a dimethoxy substituted silyl platinum(II) compound (3). There are only five examples of bis(silyl) platinum(II) complexes prepared from this silyl ligand with such structural features registered in the Cambridge Structural Database. The structures of 2 and 3 were unambiguously determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis and multinuclear NMR spectroscopic studies.

description: At the time of writing, the media is full of speculation about the National Broadband Network (NBN), but there is limited hard information available. This article is an attempt to tease out a better understanding of the current developments in telecommunications in Australia. It is a high-level summary of the elements being considered and the policy issues still to be resolved, from the perspective of one interested observer, and as such it is certain to need correction and clarification as more is revealed.The terminology used in this paper is that given in the Appendix, which provides a short tutorial on the current Telecommunications Environment.

description: This study contributes to a growing body of research that calls into question the assumption that all members of the Net Generation are uniformly sophisticated in their use of web-based technologies. Students graduating from an undergraduate business program were surveyed about their use of a range of technologies for academic and personal uses. Findings suggest that the majority of respondents use a limited range of technologies everyday to communicate and to stream audio and video web content. Many fewer students regularly used technologies associated with producing web content. Differences were also found in technology use patterns across gender lines. Copyright 2010 Wendy Freeman.
