description: Water is an essential element required for life. The demand for water is continuously
 increasing due to an increase in population, industrialization, urbanization and
 improved standard of living. The problem of providing a safe water supply service in
 Adama City was increase due to an increase in population. Due to this problem, the
 demand for additional water sources and infrastructure is growing. The aim of this study
 was, to evaluate the performance of the Adama city water supply system. The
 performance evaluation of water supply services using IWA system of performance
 indicator this was analyzed by SigmaV3.4 water supply service performance indicator
 software, hydraulic performance were analyzed and the user perception was analyzed
 by SPSS and Percapita water consumption and water loss were analyzed. The
 performance measures of junction pressure were checked based on the coefficient of
 determination (R2) and the degree of accuracy. Analysis of the selected performance
 indicators shows that among the IWA indicators of water supply service, water resource
 availability was 73.05%, water loss per connection 48.22(m3/connection/year), treated
 water storage capacity 0.63/day, population per public tap 244.21(persons/tap). User

description: We consider a dimensional reduction of the (deformed) Hermitian Yang-Mills condition on $S^1$-invariant Kähler Einstein $6$-manifolds. This allows us to reformulate the (deformed) Hermitian Yang-Mills equations in terms of data on the quotient Kähler $4$-manifold. In particular, we apply this construction to the canonical bundle of $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^2$ endowed with the Calabi ansatz metric to find explicit abelian $SU(3)$ instantons and we show that these are determined by the spectrum of $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^2$. We also find $1$-parameter families of explicit deformed Hermitian Yang-Mills connections. As a by-product of our investigation we find a coordinate expression for its holomorphic volume form which leads us to construct a special Lagrangian foliation of $\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^2}(-3)$.

description: We present Chandra X-ray observations of 6 previously-identified Peter Pan objects, rare 40 Myr systems with evidence of primordial disk retention. We observe X-ray luminosities (0.8-3.0 keV) ranging from log Lx 27.7-29.1. We find that our Peter Pan sample exhibits X-ray properties similar to that of weak-lined T-Tauri stars and do not exhibit evidence of stellar accretion induced X-ray suppression. Our observed Peter Pan X-ray luminosities are consistent with that measured for field dM stars of similar spectral type and age, implying their long primordial disk lifetimes are likely not a consequence of unusually faint X-ray host stars. Our derived X-ray photoevaporative mass loss rates predict our systems have passed the point of rapid gas dispersal and call into question the impact of this internal mechanism for primordial disk dispersal around dM stars. Our qualitative assessment of the surrounding Peter Pan environments also does not predict unusually low levels of external photoevaporation relative to other respective moving group members. Overall, our results suggest Peter Pan disks may be a consequence of the low FUV flux incident on the disk in low-mass DM stars given their relatively lower levels of accretion over the course of their pre-main-sequence evolution.

Определение «промышленный» не что иное, как дань истории: сейчас многие из этих компаний не относятся к этой отрасли. Первоначально индекс рассчитывался как среднее арифметическое котировок акций компаний. В настоящее время для расчета используется масштабируемое среднее: сумма цен делится на делитель, который изменяется каждый раз, когда доли, включенные в индекс, разделяются (разделяются) или объединяются (консолидируются). Это позволяет поддерживать сопоставимость индекса с учетом изменений внутренней структуры входящих в него акций.

description: Quantum mechanics has always proven emphatically as one of the main cornerstones in all of science since its inception. Initially, it has also faced many skeptics from many scientific proponents of its complete description of reality. However, John Bell once devised a theorem on quantitative grounds to show how local realism is expressed in quantum mechanics. As Bell's inequality claims the non-existence of local hidden variable theories, on the same footing, we have Leggett-Garg's Inequality (LGI), which sets a quantum-classical limit for temporally correlated quantum systems. In the context of particle physics, specially in the field of neutrino and meson oscillations, one can conveniently implement LGI to test the quantum foundations at the probability level. Here, we discuss the significant LGI violation characteristics in B- and K- meson oscillations, taking into account their decoherence, CP violation, and decay parameters. We have emphasized the fact that \textit{Tsirelson} bounds can be achieved under certain conditions. Our focal point is to show the signature of these bounds that appears only to specific alterations of decay and decoherence effects. Also, we discuss and comment on the behavior or effect of decoherence and decay widths playing out from the perspective of LGI by taking their available values from various experiments. This may help us to understand the underlying principles and techniques of neutral meson open quantum systems.

Power Games - politics and donors, International Non-Government Organisations and states in international development in Cambodia 1991-2006
Creators: name: Lewis, Catherine Hope
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: THESIS ABSTRACT This thesis investigates the impact of the interactions between states, donors and INGOs on outcomes in international development. States, donors and INGOs form the central framework of international development in what is essentially a closed system. The interactions between them are crucial to the effectiveness of this system in improving the well-being of the up to three billion people in developing countries who are its intended beneficiaries. Research which sees international development as an economic, technocratic and universalistic process has strongly shaped understanding of these interactions. Ongoing questioning of the success of the development project has given rise to a literature arguing that understanding the political dimensions of the development process is necessary for successful outcomes. However, there is little field evidence of the goals, strategies, motivations and capabilities that shape states, donors and INGO’s interactions in particular situations. The focus of this research is on the interactions between states, INGOs and donors in the disability sector of Cambodia between 1990 and 2006. It analyses data collected through semi-structured interviews, primary documents and secondary sources, using the establishment of the Disability Action Council, a semi-autonomous body set up in response to issues in disability service provision, as a key event. The fieldwork was designed to collect information on the goals, capabilities, motivations and strategies of donors, states and INGOs in the sector. The data was then analysed to establish how these factors shaped interactions between the three groups of actors and what the effects of these interactions were on development outcomes in the disability sector. The research demonstrated that interactions of the state, donor and INGOs in the disability sector contributed to dysfunctional development outcomes, which failed to meet the needs of people with a disability in Cambodia. Of the actors involved, the state was the most successful in achieving its goals. The research argues that a major factor in these outcomes was the failure of donors and INGOs to understand the political dimensions of development and to operate effectively within them. These findings are consistent with calls in the literature to strengthen research on development as a political process and for INGOs and donors to recognise the need to engage with the political sphere and develop the knowledge, theory and skills to do so effectively.

description: Effective waste management is crucial for maintaining a clean and healthy environment. Traditional wastedisposal methods often result in inefficiencies, leading to pollution and health hazards. This paper presentsa Machine Learning-Based Waste Classification and Reuse Suggestion System integrated with Geo-Taggingand Automated Email Notifications. The web application enables users to upload images of waste, whichare classified into categories such as plastic, metal, glass, paper, and organic waste using a ConvolutionalNeural Network (CNN). Based on classification results, the system provides reuse suggestions and relevantexternal links, promoting sustainable waste practices. Additionally, users can report waste accumulationsites using a Geo-Tagging Module powered by Leaflet.js and the OpenCage API, which captures locationcoordinates and displays them on an interactive map. A Flask-Mail-based Automated Notification Systemsends detailed reports to that area's municipal authorities, ensuring immediate action. The model is trainedon a public dataset and demonstrates high classification accuracy. By integrating machine learning,geospatial reporting, and real-time communication, this system enhances waste management efficiency.
Speaking in and out of turn: narrators in contemporary Australian theatre

description: This thesis examines narrating as a widespread mode of performance in Australian contemporary theatre. The examination focuses on the forms narrators in contemporary Australian theatre take, arguing that they split into two distinct figures: one that supports the representation of dramatic action and the hierarchies that such a model demands, and a very different, non-dramatic figure that disrupts cause and effect storytelling through description and presentation. This figure unsettles the pairings that sit at the heart of drama: showing and telling, acting and non-acting and character and voice, creating space where narratives emerge out of this disruption.

description: In this study, a total of 69 topsoil samples and 10 Panax notoginseng samples from Yunnan Province were collected and the concentrations of As, Cd, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb and Zn in all the samples were determined. The hazard index (HI), total carcinogenic risk (TCR) and estimated daily intake (EDI) of heavy metals were calculated to assess the health risk of P. notoginseng growers and consumers. The average concentrations of As, Cd, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb and Zn in P. notoginseng planting soils are 43.6, 0.55, 50.8, 0.30, 73.4, 58.2, and 161 mg/kg, respectively. The average Nemerow integrated pollution index of heavy metals in soils is 1.8, indicating that the P. notoginseng planting soils are slightly polluted by those heavy metals. The average HI value is 1.29 and the TCR value of As is above the threshold value, suggesting that As pollution in soil has adverse impact on local growers' health. P. notoginseng is polluted by Cd, As and Pb. 39.1% of estimated daily intakes of As for P. notoginseng consumers through leaf consumption exceeding its permitted daily exposure dosages, suggesting that there is a potential health risk for P. notoginseng consumers to consume P. notoginseng leaves.

description: In this paper, we propose a new secure machine learning inference platform assisted by a small dedicated security processor, which will be easier to protect and deploy compared to today's TEEs integrated into high-performance processors. Our platform provides three main advantages over the state-of-the-art:
 (i) We achieve significant performance improvements compared to state-of-the-art distributed Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning (PPML) protocols, with only a small security processor that is comparable to a discrete security chip such as the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) or on-chip security subsystems in SoCs similar to the Apple enclave processor. In the semi-honest setting with WAN/GPU, our scheme is 4X-63X faster than Falcon (PoPETs'21) and AriaNN (PoPETs'22) and 3.8X-12X more communication efficient. We achieve even higher performance improvements in the malicious setting.
 (ii) Our platform guarantees security with abort against malicious adversaries under honest majority assumption.
 (iii) Our technique is not limited by the size of secure memory in a TEE and can support high-capacity modern neural networks like ResNet18 and Transformer.
 While previous work investigated the use of high-performance TEEs in PPML, this work represents the first to show that even tiny secure hardware with really limited performance can be leveraged to significantly speed-up distributed PPML protocols if the protocol can be carefully designed for lightweight trusted hardware.

description: Bladder cancer (BC) is the sixth most common malignancy in men and 17th in women. Exosomal long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been defined as a novel biomarker for BC. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical significance of urine exosomal PVT-1, ANRIL and PCAT-1 as a biomarker in BC patients with tumors classified as T1 or T2. Exosomes were isolated from urine of BC patients and healthy donors, then characterized according to their shape, size, and exosome markers by Electron Microscopy, Dynamic light scattering, and Western blotting. Exosomal lncRNAs extraction was done to determine the expression levels of PVT-1, ANRIL and PCAT-1 by qRT-PCR. ANRIL and PCAT-1 expression was significantly higher in BC patients compared to normal subjects. To evaluate the performance of the identified lncRNAs for BC detection, we performed ROC curves analysis. The diagnostic accuracy of ANRIL and PCAT-1, measured by AUC, was 0.7229 (sensitivity = 46.67 % and specificity = 87.5 %) and 0.7292 (sensitivity = 43.33 % and specificity = 87.5 %). Transcript levels of lncRNAs in urinary exosomes are potential diagnostic biomarkers in bladder cancer.

What shapes the local universe galaxy luminosity function? : a study of the local universe in near-IR, mid-IR and radio continuum
Creators: name: Bonne, Nicolas Jean
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The galaxy luminosity function describes the number of galaxies per unit volume per unit luminosity. Galaxy infrared and radio luminosity functions are used to measure the distribution of galaxy masses and star formation rates, and are thus critical for measuring galaxy growth and for constraining galaxy formation models. Though functions have been measured in many wavelengths, and theorists have predicted what processes shape these functions, observers often ﬁt them using empirical models, that are somewhat divorced from what must physically shape them. To address this issue, using publicly available data, we have constructed the largest, complete all-sky sample of local galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts, morphologies and near-IR/infrared photometry, containing 13,225 galaxies, for 2MASS K ≤ 10.75. Using this sample, we have measured luminosity functions which trace galaxy stellar mass as functions of galaxy morphology and of galaxy optical colour (using 2MASS XSC K-band and a larger sample of 14,584 WISE 3.4 micron mW1 ≤11 galaxies). As dark matter halo mass and stellar mass are tightly correlated, we show that functions of the two share a similar form. We then investigated the discrepancy between the shapes of colour-selected and morphology-selected luminosity functions using the K-band sample. We ﬁnd that the difference in shape is explained (in part) by massive red late-type galaxies. Star formation does not have such a clear correlation with halo mass, and we propose a new method for ﬁtting luminosity functions which trace star formation. We calculate luminosity functions for two star formation rate proxies, matching 6,890 S < 0.9 mJy NVSS 1.4 GHz continuum ﬂuxes and 1,676 WISE 12 micron mW3 ≤ 6.5 galaxies to our core sample. We have approximated the luminosity functions using models of star formation rate (and AGN) duty cycles as a function of stellar mass proxy (K-band or W1 luminosity), to build a physically motivated model of the luminosity function. We model the NVSS star forming and AGN duty cycles as functions of radio power vs. K-band, using a log-normal probability density function. These models provide a good approximation to the data, retaining more information than empirical models do, but ﬁtting less well. Building on our results up until this point, we provide a new benchmark for 3.4 and 12 micron luminosity functions, which strongly constrain galaxy stellar mass and star formation rate densities (respectively). Using these functions, we model the distribution of W1-W3 colour as a function of W1 (approximating the star formation rate duty cycle), using a simple Gaussian probability density function. This is less successful than in the case of the radio data, as this model is too simplistic, and the spread of values for W1-W3 is far narrower than for radio power.
Characterisation of hemispherical nanostructures

description: The wonder of plasmonics has fascinated the scientific world in the past few decades due to an astounding phenomenon named Localised Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR), which is primarily the collective oscillation of conduction electrons confined in a nanostructure, with coherence to an incident electromagnetic radiation. These non-propagating excitations are capable of confining optical energy in subwavelength dimensions, exhibiting exotic properties ranging from profound energy absorption and narrowband scattering to resonance induced near field enhancement that disclose unprecedented openings in a vast range of fields including medicine, photovoltaic and optoelectronics. Resonance conditions of a nanoensemble can be modified by altering the structure in terms of size, shape, composition and aggregation or by varying the properties of the incident field and host medium. Therefore, when exerting light interaction with nanoparticles in a particular application, a proper mixture of the aforementioned parameters needs to be employed. In this regard, a wide range of nanostructures are being investigated extensively. However despite its simplicity, the hemispherical shape of nanoparticles is rarely studied in nanoplasmonics. Therefore, the primary objective of the research outlined in this thesis is to elucidate the optical behaviour of hemispherical shape nanoparticles and explore the plausibility of using them in Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and other sensing applications. To this end, a parametric analysis of the resonance features of a single nanohemisphere and a hemispherical nanodimer, in terms of nanoparticle size, configuration, inter-particle distance, polarisation direction and host medium, is conducted based on numerical simulations. A theoretical model that describe the behaviour of a hemispherical nanodimer upon interaction with light is presented, and the accuracy of the model is evaluated compared to the numerical simulations. Further, the electric field enhancement in the vicinity of the structure is studied, followed by an investigation about the optimum configuration and polarisation for SERS applications. The effectiveness of hemispherical dimers in these applications is analysed in relation to spherical dimers. Finally, the influence of fabrication deficiencies on the aforementioned optical characteristics is evaluated, while the thesis is wound up with a discussion of the important contributions of this study and valuable recommendations for future research.

The average concentrations of As, Cd, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb and Zn in P. notoginseng planting soils are 43.6, 0.55, 50.8, 0.30, 73.4, 58.2, and 161 mg/kg, respectively. The average Nemerow integrated pollution index of heavy metals in soils is 1.8, indicating that the P. notoginseng planting soils are slightly polluted by those heavy metals. The average HI value is 1.29 and the TCR value of As is above the threshold value, suggesting that As pollution in soil has adverse impact on local growers' health. P. notoginseng is polluted by Cd, As and Pb. 39.1% of estimated daily intakes of As for P. notoginseng consumers through leaf consumption exceeding its permitted daily exposure dosages, suggesting that there is a potential health risk for P. notoginseng consumers to consume P. notoginseng leaves.

description: We propose an extended 2HDM with $Q_6\times Z_4\times Z_2$ symmetry that can successfully accommodate the SM fermion mass and mixing hierarchy. The tiny masses of the active neutrinos are generated from a type-I seesaw mechanism mediated by very heavy right-handed Majorana neutrinos. The model gives a natural explanation of the charged lepton mass hierarchy. Besides that, the experimental values of the physical observables of the neutrino sector: the neutrino mass squared splittings, the leptonic mixing angles and the leptonic Dirac CP violating phase, are also successfully reproduced for both normal and inverted neutrino mass hierarchies. We find a feasible range of values for the leptonic Dirac CP phase to be in the ranges $δ_{CP}\in (305.90, 348.70)^\circ$ for normal ordering and $δ_{CP}\in (308.00, 348.00)^\circ$ for inverted ordering, which is consistent with the 3$σ$ experimentally allowed limits. The sum of neutrino masses is obtained as $\sum m_i \in (58.03, 60.51)$ meV for normal ordering and $\sum m_i\in (98.07, 101.40)$ meV for inverted ordering which are well consistent with all the recent limits. In addition, the obtained ranges for the effective neutrino masses are $\langle m_{ee}\rangle \in (3.80, 4.38)$\, meV, $m_β \in (8.53, 9.34)\, \mbox{meV}$ for normal ordering and $\langle m_{ee}\rangle \in (47.85, 49.58) $ meV, $m_β \in (48.39, 50.09)\, \mbox{meV}$ for inverted ordering which are in agreement with the recent experimental bounds. For the quark sector, the derived results are also in agreement with the recent data on the quark masses and mixing angles. The model under consideration can also accommodate the muon anomalous magnetic moment.

description: We formulate the gradient Dirichlet flow of $Sp(2)Sp(1)$-structures on $8$-manifolds, as the first systematic study of a geometric quaternion-Kähler (QK) flow. Its critical condition of \emph{harmonicity} is especially relevant in the QK setting, since torsion-free structures are often topologically obstructed. We show that the conformally parallel property implies harmonicity, extending a result of Grigorian in the $G_2$ case. We also draw several comparisons with $Spin(7)$-structures. Analysing the QK harmonic flow, we prove an almost-monotonicity formula, which implies to long-time existence under small initial energy, via $ε$-regularity. We set up a theory of harmonic QK solitons, constructing a non-trivial steady example. We produce explicit long-time solutions: one, converging to a torsion-free limit on the hyperbolic plane; and another, converging to a limit which is harmonic but not torsion-free, on the manifold $SU(3)$. We also study compactness and the formation of singularities.

description: We consider the gradient flow of the Ambrosio-Tortorelli functional at fixed $ε>0$, proving existence, uniqueness and $L^2 _t (H_x ^2) \cap L^\infty _t (H^1 _x) \cap H^1 _t (L^2 _x) $ regularity in dimension 2. In particular we improve a previous result where such regularity was known only up to a finite number of space time points, which diverged as $ε\to 0$. By employing a different technique for the crucial $L^2 _t (H^2 _x)$ estimates we can see how in fact the desired regularity holds everywhere.

description: From first studies about individual differences, which searched traits related with creativity, to the modern behavioural genetic,many have been the characteristics and variables related with creativity in the personal plane. Genetic is not totally determinant,and it has been demonstrated that environment, among other factors, is fundamental for enhancing creativity, or as a judge who value it. Even so, variables related with the individual continue attracting great research interest, so this study summarizes personal variables related with creativity, from the first works of Galton to the recent proposals of Sternberg.

description: Exact solutions of model problems are elusive but potent tools for understanding many body interacting systems. We study a system of dissipative qubits with the Heisenberg interaction and obtain, for qubits under a certain condition, an exact steady state solution to the Lindblad master equation describing its dynamics. The physical content of such a solution is a remarkable no-go theorem, which states that for qubits possessing identical ratios of the damping and gain rates, no correlation can be established between them in the steady state. Two consequences of this theorem are discussed in the context of quantum synchronization of qubits. The first is a complete blockade of quantum synchronization of qubits under the aforementioned condition, an effect reminiscent of, but having a much broader scope than, that found in dissipated Kerr-anharmonic oscillators. The second, and a more important consequence is the possibility of reducing a complex all-to-all qubit network to a much simpler one-to-all network by engineering the dissipation. Such a reduction is desired because it provides an effective tool to optimize the quantum synchronization of a complex qubit network. Finally, we propose two concrete experimental schemes to implement our model and to test our predictions.

Argentines with means: the shifting politics of an elite school in Buenos Aires — a constellational analysis
Creators: name: Prosser, Howard James
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This study examines how a prestigious private school in Argentina has adapted to changing social and political circumstances. Such adaptations have ensured the school’s ongoing role in educating of the nation’s economic elite. Using historical and ethnographic research approaches, the study outlines how the school’s liberalism allows it to appear “inclusively exclusive” while residing in a society that exhibits a post-neoliberal wariness of elites. Greater social-mindedness has inspired changes to the school curriculum that seek to reconnect globally-oriented students to their fellow citizens. But such changes also paradoxically reinforce an “economy of eliteness” that is increasingly valuable around the world.

Convolutional Autoencoders, Clustering and POD for Low-dimensional Parametrization of Navier-Stokes Equations

description: Simulations of large-scale dynamical systems require expensive computations. Low-dimensional parametrization of high-dimensional states such as Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) can be a solution to lessen the burdens by providing a certain compromise between accuracy and model complexity. However, for really low-dimensional parametrizations (for example for controller design) linear methods like the POD come to their natural limits so that nonlinear approaches will be the methods of choice. In this work we propose a convolutional autoencoder (CAE) consisting of a nonlinear encoder and an affine linear decoder and consider combinations with k-means clustering for improved encoding performance. The proposed set of methods is compared to the standard POD approach in two cylinder-wake scenarios modeled by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations.

description: Progress in understanding the inner structure of cells, as well as the cell-matrix structures, is driven by advances and crossover of many disciplines – from physics and engineering to biology. A number of high resolution imaging methods have been evolved to investigate the fine details of biological cells by implementing photons, electrons, X-rays and physical probes, yet proper strategies remain in demand to obtain three dimensional structural and chemical information. The aim of the proposed research is to develop novel approaches for trapping and imaging of biological cells by strategically deploying a set of nanoengineering tools. Firstly, two potential cell isolation methods were developed. Using ion implantation in biocompatible polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) material with varied ion fluence, accelerating voltage and ion incidence angle, Young’s modulus of PDMS could be regulated from tens of MPa to 2 GPa for controlled cell growth. Additionally, scale-like micro cantilevers on silicon nitride membrane were also fabricated with Focused Ion Beam (FIB) milling, which effectively trapped bacterial cells in the designated suspension flow. In the second phase of the research, FIB tomography was employed to image and assess the detailed 3D ultrastructures of single Klebsiella pneumoniae cells treated with antibiotics polymyxin B. Significant reduction in volume ratio (cytoplasm to cell envelop) and increase in cell length in the treated group were revealed, implying transforming of cytoplasm regions. Finally, Klebsiella pneumoniae cells were probed at nanometer resolution by combining FIB and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), and the intracellular mechanics and hydrophobicity properties were acquired by AFM force spectroscopy for structural and chemistry analysis. With a range of functionalized AFM tips currently available, the proposed approach will allow localization of various proteins and drugs to provide unique mechanistic insights into microbial systems.
