Plasticity, learning and cognition: an integrative approach to sensory substitution devices and embodied, enculturated skills
Creators: name: Farina, Mirko
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: In this doctoral dissertation I develop a new framework for the study and integration of plasticity, learning and cognition. I take sensory substitution devices and embodied skills as my paradigmatic case studies, investigate the capacity of our brain to functionally and anatomically change in response to environmental stimulation, and look at how engaging in context-specific pattern of practice changes subjects' enduring dispositions and influences their performances, leading to increasingly proceduralized skills and expertise. In essence, I study how culture and plasticity shape human cognition. This thesis consists of two theoretically distinct yet interrelated parts. Part 1 (chapters 1, 2, 3) entitled 'Sensory substitution devices, skilful perception and synaesthesia', focuses on issues surrounding debates in philosophy of perception, philosophy of cognitive science and neuroscience and explores the relations between sensory substitution devices, embodiment, human sensory modalities and synaesthesia. Part2 (chapters 4, 5) entitled 'Brain plasticity and enculturated skills in the evolution and development of human cognition', focuses on issues surrounding debates in evolutionary biology, developmental neuroscience and philosophy of cognitive science and investigates the relations between plasticity, embodied patterned practices and human cognition. It is hoped that the new theoretical framework developed in this thesis for the integration of these different concepts and phenomena will facilitate collaborations between philosophers and scientists, thus affording new insights for researchers working at the intersection of philosophy of cognitive science, philosophy of biology and philosophy of neuroscience.

description: We fabricate and compare nanocomposite thin-film ZnO chemoresistive acetone sensors with gold or palladium nanoparticles on the surface, at low operating temperatures. The sensors are fabricated by pulsed laser deposition and operate in the temperature range 159-200oC. The ZnO films are polycrystalline, crystallizing mainly at the (002) and (101) orientations of the hexagonal phase. The nanocomposite ZnO:Au and ZnO:Pd sensors have a lower detection limit and show a response enhancement factor between 2-7, compared with pure ZnO sensors. The ZnO:Pd sensor performs better than the ZnO:Au sensor. The ZnO:Pd sensor sensitivity increases with the amount of palladium on the surface, while it remains roughly unchanged with the ZnO thickness. The lowest acetone concentration we detect is 26 ppm for the operating temperature of 200oC.
Comparing the impact of subtitles on learning: automatically generated vs. corrected subtitles
Creators: name: Chan, Wing Shan
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Subtitles have been proven to benefit language acquisition, improve comprehension, listening skills and word recognition in an educational context. According to Cognitive Load Theory (CLT), information from different modalities that are presented simultaneously may cause cognitive overload due to the redundancy effect. However, research has shown an increase in learning when information is presented concurrently both visually and auditorily. The result can be explained by Dual Coding Theory: when redundant information is complimenting each other during processing, no cognitive overload results. Adding subtitles is essential for equal access as many online video lectures have become a major channel for learning in education. However, conventional subtitling is both expensive and time consuming, with the result that automated subtitling is a potentially powerful solution if the issue of accuracy and readability can be resolved. The focus of this study is to investigate the impact of automated and corrected subtitles on learning (tested in the context of micro-economic principles). A video was shown to participants, who were randomly assigned to 3 test groups: English lecturer with no subtitles, English lecturer with automated subtitles, and English lecturer with corrected subtitles. Participants were asked to complete a pre-test, an effort test and a post-test. Biographical information was collected for data analysis and interpretation. The objectives of this study are 1) to determine whether adding automated English subtitles and corrected English subtitles to English video improves learning; 2) to determine whether these subtitles impact differently; and 3) to compare the amount of cognitive load induced by automated and corrected subtitles on these groups.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. 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.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: We study in this work a scenario that the universe undergoes a two step phase transition with the first step happened to the dark matter sector and the second step being the transition between the dark matter and the electroweak vacuums, where the barrier between the two vacuums, that is necessary for a strongly first order electroweak phase transition (EWPT) as required by the electroweak baryogenesis mechanism, arises at the tree-level. We illustrate this idea by working with the standard model (SM) augmented by a scalar singlet dark matter and an extra scalar singlet which mixes with the SM Higgs boson. We study the conditions for such pattern of phase transition to occur and especially for the strongly first order EWPT to take place, as well as its compatibility with the basic requirements of a successful dark matter, such as observed relic density and constraints of direct detections. We further explore the discovery possibility of this pattern EWPT by searching for the gravitational waves generated during this process in spaced based interferometer, by showing a representative benchmark point of the parameter space that the generated gravitational waves fall within the sensitivity of eLISA, DECIGO and BBO.

description: We study the ferromagnetic layer thickness dependence of the voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) in gated CoFeB/MgO heterostructures with heavy metal underlayers. When the effective CoFeB thickness is below ~1 nm, the VCMA efficiency of Ta/CoFeB/MgO heterostructures considerably decreases with decreasing CoFeB thickness. We find that a high order phenomenological term used to describe the thickness dependence of the areal magnetic anisotropy energy can also account for the change in the areal VCMA efficiency. In this structure, the higher order term competes against the common interfacial VCMA, thereby reducing the efficiency at lower CoFeB thickness. The areal VCMA efficiency does not saturate even when the effective CoFeB thickness exceeds ~1 nm. We consider the higher order term is related to the strain that develops at the CoFeB/MgO interface: as the average strain of the CoFeB layer changes with its thickness, the electronic structure of the CoFeB/MgO interface varies leading to changes in areal magnetic anisotropy energy and VCMA efficiency.
A Free Quartz Pendulum: Electrostatically Driven and Photoelectrically Controlled as a Means of Precision Timekeeping

(Electrical Engineering)

description: After making a careful study of the field of timekeeping the pendulum was found to be the best timekeeper. A lengthy investigation was made of all the factors that affect the period of a pendulum, and these are outlined in the report. Choosing a free pendulum in preference to the compensated compound pendulum, the period of one half second was taken, and the physical dimensions of a pendulum worked out. It was decided to make the pendulum entirely of quartz, and to operate it in a vacuum. An original electrostatic drive was adopted as the means of keeping the pendulum in motion. This drive required the design of a special circuit which has been worked out, and the constants of this circuit calculated with an assumed damping factor.

Construction was started, but much difficulty was encountered, especially in the making and fastening of a fine quartz spring to the rod. A strong mounting and the driving condenser have also been built. A good bibliography has been worked up for t he aid of the person who carries on this work.

description: Using empirical material gathered from seven weeks of participant observations and interviews in western Sydney, this thesis analyses six individuals’ experience of long-term unemployment. The thesis examines intersecting influences - stigma, ethnicity and social class, and a sense of place, revealing the manner in which relations of power in everyday experiences are negotiated. Developing these concepts contextually necessitates an overview of structural processes of political economy and social welfare, as these help us understand historical dimensions of work and unemployment, and the contemporary spatially complex and negotiated state of employment-deprived areas of western Sydney, Australia.

description: The planned upgrade of the CMS detector for the High Luminosity LHC allows to find tracks in the silicon tracker for every single LHC collision and use them in the first level (hardware) trigger decision. So far, studies by CMS collaboration concentrated on the maintaining the overall trigger performance in the punishing pile up environment. We argue that the potential capabilities of the track trigger are much wider, and may offer groundbreaking opportunities for new physics searches. As an example, and to facilitate community discussion, we use a simple toy simulation to study rare Higgs decays into new particles with lifetime of order of a few mm.

description: Multi-label image classification presents a challenging task in many domains, including computer vision and medical imaging. Recent advancements have introduced graph-based and transformer-based methods to improve performance and capture label dependencies. However, these methods often include complex modules that entail heavy computation and lack interpretability. In this paper, we propose Probabilistic Multi-label Contrastive Learning (ProbMCL), a novel framework to address these challenges in multi-label image classification tasks. Our simple yet effective approach employs supervised contrastive learning, in which samples that share enough labels with an anchor image based on a decision threshold are introduced as a positive set. This structure captures label dependencies by pulling positive pair embeddings together and pushing away negative samples that fall below the threshold. We enhance representation learning by incorporating a mixture density network into contrastive learning and generating Gaussian mixture distributions to explore the epistemic uncertainty of the feature encoder. We validate the effectiveness of our framework through experimentation with datasets from the computer vision and medical imaging domains. Our method outperforms the existing state-of-the-art methods while achieving a low computational footprint on both datasets. Visualization analyses also demonstrate that ProbMCL-learned classifiers maintain a meaningful semantic topology.

description: There has been a recent revival of philosophical interest in the nature of evil. Some philosophers have argued that evil is not a useful moral concept and ought be retired. Other philosophers think that evil is a category with a legitimate place in moral philosophy, and cannot simply be eliminated without cost. These thinkers have come up with various understandings of what evil is and what talk of evil is good for. In this thesis, I elucidate and defend the theory of evil of the medieval philosopher, Thomas Aquinas. This project has two main parts. In the first, I discuss Aquinas’ belief that evil is to be understood as the privation of goodness. I argue that a main weakness of recent defenses of the privation theory of evil stems from a neglect of the intricate metaphysical framework in which Aquinas embedded his moral philosophy. I argue that the theory is plausible when interpreted in this context. In the second part, I examine the Guise of the Good thesis, which holds that every action is done for the sake of some real or perceived good. I argue that this thesis, which is significant to Aquinas’ understanding of evil, also escapes common objections and is plausible when understood in the context of Aquinas’ metaphysics.

description: Aims. We study the forward shock in the oxygen-rich young supernova remnant (SNR) 1E0102.2-7219 (1E0102 in short) via optical coronal emission from [Fe XIV] and [Fe XI]: emission lines which offer an alternative method to X-rays to do so. Methods. We have used the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) optical integral field spectrograph at the Very Large Telescope (VLT) on Cerro Paranal to obtain deep observations of SNR 1E0102 in the Small Magellanic Cloud. Our observations cover the entire extent of the remnant with a seeing limited spatial resolution of 0.7" = 0.2 pc at the distance of 1E 0102. Results. Our MUSE observations unambiguously reveal the presence of [Fe XIV] and [Fe XI] emission in 1E0102. The emission largely arises from a thin, partial ring of filaments surrounding the fast moving O-rich ejecta in the system. The brightest [Fe XIV] and [Fe XI] emission is found along the eastern and north-western sides of 1E0102, where shocks are driven into denser ISM material, while fainter emission along the northern edge reveals the location of the forward shock in lower density gas, possibly the relic stellar wind cavity. Modeling of the eastern shocks and the photoionization precursor surrounding 1E0102, we derive a pre-shock density $n_H$ = (7.4 +-1.5) cm$^{-3}$, and a shock velocity 330 km/s < $v_s$ < 350 km/s.

Excitatory inputs to the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus contribute to tonic, but not baroreflex, control of blood pressure in chronic kidney disease: possible role of angiotensin II and superoxide

description: Increased cardiovascular mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is in part due to hypertension and impaired baroreflex regulation of blood pressure. We tested the hypothesis that increased glutamatergic drive of the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) contributes to hypertension and baroreflex dysfunction in the Lewis Polycystic Kidney rat (LPK) model of CKD. In urethane anaesthetised adult male Lewis control and LPK rats (n=13) instrumented to record arterial pressure, heart rate (HR) and renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA), bilateral PVN microinjections of the glutamate receptor antagonist kynurenic acid (100mM) reduced systolic blood pressure to a greater extent in LPK vs. Lewis (-31±3 vs. -10±3mmHg P<0.01), did not influence HR in either strain (P>0.05) and transiently increased RSNA in LPK rats only (5 min post-microinjection 119±2 vs. baseline 100±1% P<0.05). Baroreflex curves for HR and RSNA were rightward shifted in LPK and gain was reduced vs. Lewis, however kynurenic acid did not influence baroreflex parameters in either strain (both P>0.05). Considering that angiotensin II-mediated superoxide production may facilitate excitation within the PVN, we assessed PVN superoxide in-situ with the redox-sensitive fluorophore dihydroethidium (DHE) in adult mixed-sex Lewis and LPK rats (n=22) that were untreated or treated with the angiotensin II AT1 receptor antagonist losartan (30mg/kg/day) from 4 weeks of age. In untreated rats, PVN DHE fluorescence was greater in LPK vs. Lewis (2.0±0.3 vs. 1.0±0.2 relative fluorescence P=0.02), but was normalised by losartan (1.3±0.1). These data suggest that enhanced PVN glutamatergic activity maintains hypertension in LPK but not baroreflex dysfunction, and implicate AT1 receptor-dependent superoxide overproduction as a possible mechanism.

description: In this work, a novel subspace-based method for blind identification of multichannel finite impulse response (FIR) systems is presented. Here, we exploit directly the impeded Toeplitz channel structure in the signal linear model to build a quadratic form whose minimization leads to the desired channel estimation up to a scalar factor. This method can be extended to estimate any predefined linear structure, e.g. Hankel, that is usually encountered in linear systems. Simulation findings are provided to highlight the appealing advantages of the new structure-based subspace (SSS) method over the standard subspace (SS) method in certain adverse identification scenarii.

description: This work reports the development of ultrasensitive miniaturized electrochemical device for heavy metal sensing. A laser engraver based patterning of fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) sheet was done to draw an etched pattern forming a miniaturized 3-electrode configuration. A layer of Ag/AgCl ink served as pseudo-reference electrode. The sensing electrode was coated using low-cost Cu nanorods (CuNRs) grown radially along the {110} surface with aspect ratio of 8.0 and Cu@Ag core-shell nanorods (Cu@AgNRs) formed via galvanic displacement for simultaneous electrocatalytic detection of heavy metal ions (Pb(II), Cd(II), Hg(II), and Zn(II)) present in water. The electroactive surface area of the prepared devices is 0.026, 0.093 and 0.125 cm2 for bare FTO, CuNRs/FTO and Cu@AgNRs/FTO, respectively. Bimetal Cu@AgNRs/FTO sensor exhibited the lowest limit of detection of 1, 2, 5 and 6 nM, respectively, detecting Cd(II), Pb(II), Zn(II), and Hg(II) ions, and it was 2, 2, 3 and 4 nM, respectively, for simultaneous detection of Zn(II), Pb(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II). The Cu@AgNRs/FTO based device showed distinct peak-to-peak separation by 0.40, 0.25 and 0.51 V for Zn(II)-Cd(II), Cd(II)-Pb(II) and Pb(II)-Hg(II), respectively. This device was highly sensitive (583.6–1261.8 μA․μM−1․cm−2) for heavy metal detection over CuNRs/FTO (15.9–107.4 μA․μM−1․cm−2). The Cu@AgNRs/FTO based sensors demonstrated good reproducibility (relative standard deviation ≤ 5%) with recovery (>90%) in the case of all target heavy metals simultaneously present in environmental water samples. Hence, the Cu nanorods based miniaturized sensing platforms developed in the present study for simultaneous heavy metal detection are potential low-cost alternatives providing a repeatability of upto 4 cycles unlike the commercial screen-printed electrodes.

Soil lead and human health exposure risks: studies from Australia and the United States of America

description: Urban surface soils have been contaminated with lead (Pb) primarily from the former use of Pb additives in petrol and Pb paint, and in some instances from Pb smelters. These exposures continue to pose an ongoing risk to human health globally. Lead is a neurotoxin. When it is absorbed, inhaled or ingested, it can affect the development of the child’s nervous system causing lower intelligence quotient measures, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and delinquent behaviors In a series of 8 published peer-reviewed papers (and one response to comments paper), this thesis assesses soil Pb contributions to blood Pb (PbB) in Australia and the USA. In addition, the study assesses the role of Pb additives in petrol (gasoline) as a potential source of blood PbB in children. In evaluating the potential role of petrol Pb additives for elevating children’s PbB levels and urban soil Pb levels, the spatial and temporal variation of Pb in atmospheric and household dusts were evaluated. The results from the thesis studies demonstrate that the historical use of leaded gasoline and Pb in exterior paints has contaminated urban soils to levels that pose a potential risk of harm to children. Leaded gasoline is a major source of Pb urban soils and house dust. Children’s PbB levels are associated spatially with soil Pb concentrations and temporally with atmospheric soil and Pb concentrations. Roadside soils contaminated with Pb are subject to re-suspension by vehicle movement, which causes dispersal into the urban environment. This thesis indicates that the paradigm that Pb paint is the sole primary source of Pb exposure in urban children is incorrect. Ongoing exposure from legacy deposition of Pb from petrol is also a major source of exposure in children and still poses a significant risk of harm.

description: Accretion disks in binary systems can experience hydrodynamic impact at inner as well as outer edges. The first case is typical for protoplanetary disks around young T Tau stars. The second one is typical for circumstellar disks in close binaries. As a result of such an impact, perturbations with different scales and amplitudes are excited in the disk. We investigated the nonlinear evolution of perturbations of a finite, but small amplitude, at the background of sub-Keplerian flow. Nonlinear effects at the front of perturbations lead to the formation of a shock wave, namely the discontinuity of the density and radial velocity. At this, the tangential flow in the neighborhood of the shock becomes equivalent to the flow in in the boundary layer. Instability of the tangential flow further leads to turbulization of the disk. Characteristics of the turbulence depend on perturbation parameters, but alpha-parameter of Shakura-Sunyaev does not exceed ~0.1.

description: Evidence for plumes of water on Europa has previously been found using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) using two different observing techniques. Roth et al. (2014) found line emission from the dissociation products of water. Sparks et al. (2016) found evidence for off-limb continuum absorption as Europa transited Jupiter. Here, we present a new transit observation of Europa that shows a second event at the same location as a previous plume candidate from Sparks et al. (2016), raising the possibility of a consistently active source of erupting material on Europa. This conclusion is bolstered by comparison with a nighttime thermal image from the Galileo Photopolarimeter-Radiometer (PPR) which shows a thermal anomaly at the same location, within the uncertainties (Spencer et al. 1999). The anomaly has the highest observed brightness temperature on the Europa nightside. If heat flow from a subsurface liquid water reservoir causes the thermal anomaly, its depth is ~1.8-2 km, under simple modeling assumptions, consistent with scenarios in which a liquid water reservoir has formed within a thick ice shell. Models that favor thin regions within the ice shell that connect directly to the ocean, however, cannot be excluded, nor modifications to surface thermal inertia by subsurface activity. Alternatively, vapor deposition surrounding an active vent could increase the thermal inertia of the surface and cause the thermal anomaly. This candidate plume region may offer a promising location for an initial characterization of Europa's internal water and ice and for seeking evidence of Europa's habitability. ~

description: Dedicated searches generally find a decreasing fraction of obscured Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) with increasing AGN luminosity. This has often been interpreted as evidence for a decrease of the covering factor of the AGN torus with increasing luminosity, the so-called receding torus models. Using a complete flux-limited X-ray selected sample of 199 AGN, from the Bright Ultra-hard XMM-Newton Survey, we determine the intrinsic fraction of optical type-2 AGN at 0.05$\leq$z$\leq$1 as a function of rest-frame 2-10 keV X-ray luminosity from 10$^{42}$ to 10$^{45}$ erg/s. We use the distributions of covering factors of AGN tori derived from CLUMPY torus models. Since these distributions combined over the total AGN population need to match the intrinsic type-2 AGN fraction, we reveal a population of X-ray undetected objects with high-covering factor tori, which are increasingly numerous at higher AGN luminosities. When these "missing" objects are included, we find that Compton-thick AGN account at most for 37$_{-10}^{+9}$% of the total population. The intrinsic type-2 AGN fraction is 58$\pm$4% and has a weak, non-significant (less than 2$σ$) luminosity dependence. This contradicts the results generally reported by AGN surveys, and the expectations from receding torus models. Our findings imply that the majority of luminous rapidly-accreting supermassive black holes at z<1 reside in highly-obscured nuclear environments but most of them are so deeply embedded that they have so far escaped detection in X-rays in <10 keV wide-area surveys.

description: Over-segmentation, or super-pixel generation, is a common preliminary stage for many computer vision applications. New acquisition technologies enable the capturing of 3D point clouds that contain color and geometrical information. This 3D information introduces a new conceptual change that can be utilized to improve the results of over-segmentation, which uses mainly color information, and to generate clusters of points we call super-points. We consider a variety of possible 3D extensions of the Local Variation (LV) graph based over-segmentation algorithms, and compare them thoroughly. We consider different alternatives for constructing the connectivity graph, for assigning the edge weights, and for defining the merge criterion, which must now account for the geometric information and not only color. Following this evaluation, we derive a new generic algorithm for over-segmentation of 3D point clouds. We call this new algorithm Point Cloud Local Variation (PCLV). The advantages of the new over-segmentation algorithm are demonstrated on both outdoor and cluttered indoor scenes. Performance analysis of the proposed approach compared to state-of-the-art 2D and 3D over-segmentation algorithms shows significant improvement according to the common performance measures.

description: The metric of spherically symmetric ball of ideal liquid is considered in $G^2$- approximation with the help of theory of sources. Using the integral equations of this theory gives the exterior metric depending upon the radius of the ball of matter in some terms proportional to $G^2$..I argue that according this metric from measurement outside the ball one can infer the value of ball radius.
