title: Australian Feminist Approaches to Mass Awareness Campaigns: Celanthropy, Celebrity Feminism and Online Activism

description: This research asks which methods can successfully promote mainstream recognition for an issue, and if the success of such methods translates to a stronger feminist movement in Australia in the twenty-first century Western zeitgeist. These questions are important because broader-scale feminist consciousness-raising is critical at a time when the dominant discourses of neoliberalism and postfeminism often mean a reduced focus on collective campaigning for issues such as the awareness of gender-based violence, and there has arguably been an evacuation of substantive feminist politics in some areas. My original contribution lies in the testing and analysis of campaign methods and pathways for the information of Australian feminists who want to take women’s rights issues to more central mainstream spaces in feminist mass awareness campaigning. This research explores the deployment of what I call the twenty-first century’s ‘Tools of the Zeitgeist’. This thesis focuses on three current mainstream Tools of the Zeitgeist: celebrity philanthropy and activism; celebrity feminists; and mainstream, online and social media activism. This research is unique because the discussion revolves around these three areas for feminist activism, which I argue would be most beneficial when used in tandem because they are often utilised in other social movements’ mass awareness campaigns (e.g., poverty or environment) and are rarely deployed in unison in organised feminist mass awareness campaigning. This thesis argues that there is an increased velocity in the Australian mediasphere of feminist discourse and engagement, and as such, it recognises that this is a critical nexus for the potential for a larger scale feminist-led mass awareness campaigning in Australia.

description: 3. Loxandrus calathinus LeConte, 1878:376
This taxon was described from an unspecified number of specimens collected at «Tampa, Florida ». LeConte’s collection in the MCZ contains two specimens under that name. One of them, a female labelled «Tampa 24.4 Fla/1237a [handwritten]/Type 5693/ L. calathinus Lec. [handwritten]», is herein selected as the lectotype and the label « Lectotype Loxandrus calathinus LeConte des. Y. Bousquet 2004» has been added. The second specimen is a male with the genitalia dissected and the endophallus pulled out, likely by Allen, and stored in a glycerine microvial.
 Both specimens (SBL ¼ 9.1 mm [lectotype]; ABL ¼ about 10.0 mm [lectotype]) are conspecific with specimens of L. agilis Dejean, 1828 [NEW SYNONYMY]. That species is easily recognized because it is the only one in the agilis group with the elytral epipleuron deeply sinuate at the level of the plica. The shape and endophallic structures of the genitalia of the male agree with the description and illustrations provided by Allen (1972:92–94) of L. agilis. Allen certainly planned to rule on the status of L. calathinus since the name is listed in his table I (p. 8–9), but forgot to do so.

description: In this paper Schapire and Singer's AdaBoost.MH boosting algorithm is applied to the Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) problem. Initial experiments on a set of 15 selected polysemous words show that the boosting approach surpasses Naive Bayes and Exemplar-based approaches, which represent state-of-the-art accuracy on supervised WSD. In order to make boosting practical for a real learning domain of thousands of words, several ways of accelerating the algorithm by reducing the feature space are studied. The best variant, which we call LazyBoosting, is tested on the largest sense-tagged corpus available containing 192,800 examples of the 191 most frequent and ambiguous English words. Again, boosting compares favourably to the other benchmark algorithms.

description: Nach einem von vielen Menschen in Deutschland schon als sehr nass und kühl empfundenen Monat Mai entwickelte sich zum Ende des Monats eine Wetterlage mit ungewöhnlich hohen Dauerregenmengen, die in großen Teilen Deutschlands zu ausgeprägten Hochwasserwellen in den Flüssen führte. Besonders betroffen waren die Flüsse Donau und Elbe, aber auch zahlreiche andere kleinere und größere Flüsse und Bäche in weiten Teilen von Bayern, Baden-Württemberg, Sachsen, Thüringen, im südlichen Niedersachsen und in östlichen und nördlichen Teilen Hessens. Die Hochwasser konnten sich auch deshalb so schnell entwickeln und ausbreiten, weil nach dem vorangegangenen Monat die Böden in großen Gebieten Deutschlands schon sehr durchfeuchtet und damit weniger aufnahmefähig für weitere große Regenmengen waren. Im nachfolgenden Bericht wird kurz der Ablauf der Wetterereignisse vom 30.05. bis 02.06. beschrieben, die Auslöser der Hochwasserwellen waren. Dabei wird auch das Warnmanagement des Deutschen Wetterdienstes beschrieben und bewertet. Das Fazit kann sich sehen lassen, denn in den hochauflösenden numerischen Modellen des DWD und auch in den Modellen anderer nationaler Wetterdienste wurde die Wetterentwicklung und der anhaltende Dauerregen recht frühzeitig vorhergesagt. Auf dieser Grundlage konnte der Deutsche Wetterdienst die Bevölkerung, die Behörden und die Hilfsdienste rechtzeitig vorab informieren und warnen. Weiterhin geht der Bericht auch auf die generelle Entwicklung der Wetterlage im Laufe des Monats Mai ein und bewertet diese auf der klimatologischen Zeitskala. Demnach zeigen Klimasimulationen (KLIWAS), dass sich ähnliche Wetterlagen, zum Beispiel die Lage „Tief über Mitteleuropa“, im Zuge einer Klimaerwärmung bis zum Ende des Jahrhunderts durchaus häufiger ereignen könnten. Diskutiert wird auch die Rolle der beobachteten Schneeschmelze im höheren Bergland. Die enormen Niederschlagsmengen, die bis Ende Mai fielen, werden in ihrer zeitlichen Entwicklung betrachtet und unter anderem durch den Vergleich mit extremwertstatistisch ermittelten Starkniederschlagshöhen eingeordnet.

description: There exist several methods of calculating a similarity curve, or a sequence of similarity values, representing the lexical cohesion of successive text constituents, e.g., paragraphs. Methods for deciding the locations of fragment boundaries are, however, scarce. We propose a fragmentation method based on dynamic programming. The method is theoretically sound and guaranteed to provide an optimal splitting on the basis of a similarity curve, a preferred fragment length, and a cost function defined. The method is especially useful when control on fragment size is of importance.

Women's studies

description: Dedicated to women’s collective experience in the metropolis, my thesis consists of a survey and study of housing exclusively for self-supporting women in Manhattan, from 1875 to 1930; an analysis of why women’s residences have diminished; and a discussion of feasible preservation strategies for adapting and reusing those buildings in a way sensitive to the historical context, as well as increasing the public’s awareness of women’s residences in the city.

New York City has a rich history of women empowering themselves through collective organizing. In the industrial city, women’s political power generated from their ever-increasing role in wage-work, which endowed them with “a greater sense of self, higher expectations and greater independence from men.” The development of working women’s residences also testifies to the growth of female power and the changing notion of women’s role in a society.

The purpose of my thesis is, first of all, contributing to women’s history from the perspective of housing architecture. Secondly, my intention is to enhance the dissemination of women’s history to people who search for it, and also to communicate its significance to a broader audience. Thirdly, from the perspective of gender equality, it is important to claim an equitable representation of women’s history in the urban landscape, and to restore the memory of women’s life and work. Therefore, my preservation recommendation aims to spotlight the connections between women’s residences and the urban environment they rooted in, and to interpret them as a whole that demonstrates the rise of female power in New York City.

description: This survey paper presents an overview of the fault-models available to the researcher who wants to parameterise system-models in order to study Quality- of-Service (QoS) properties of systems with service-oriented architecture. The concept of a system-model subsumes the whole spectrum between abstract mathematical models and testbeds based on actual implementations. Fault- models, on the other hand, are parameters to system-models. They introduce faults and disturbances into the system-model, thereby allowing the study of QoS under realistic conditions. In addition to a survey of existing fault- models, the paper also provides a discussion of available fault-classification schemes.

description: Using a relational two-stage network data envelopment analysis (DEA) model considering undesirable outputs, this paper evaluates both the process and system performances of industrial environmental governance in China’s 30 provincial-level regions during 1998–2015. Furthermore, this is the first study to apply the spatial econometric models with a geographical distance matrix to investigate the local and spatial spillover effects of environmental regulations on heterogeneous environmental governance performance (i.e. clean production and end-of-pipe treatment performances). The results show that clean production performance is generally higher than end-of-pipe treatment performance, but both performances present a declining trend during the sample period. The estimation results of the spatial econometric models confirm the Porter hypothesis market-based environmental regulations improve local clean production performance. By contrast, we also find that command-and-control environmental regulations improve end-of-pipe treatment performance but curb clean production performance, and exert a “race-to-the-top” effect on local governments.

Strains and stresses--Analysis

Saint-Venant's principle

description: Diffraction strain/stress analysis has been widely used in the determination of residual and applied stresses in the surface layers and bulk volumes of materials for a long time. The technique has been used for almost 100 years. However, there are still issues that have not been yet addressed.In this dissertation, we address these issues. The basic theory of diffraction strain/stress analysis is extensively reviewed and the weaknesses of the analysis are explained carefully. The current definitions that have been used for describing residual stresses are unified under this expanded analysis. In addition, the homogeneous continuum analysis is extended to the polycrystalline materials under various loading types. To search for answers to the questions asked in this dissertation, finite element modeling. was used. This approach provides both local and global stress and strain information at all locations of a virtual specimen. The results show that St. Venant regions such as edges, voids, or geometric constraints cause local inhomogeneous strain/stress distribution which can cause deviations from linear deformation theory. Even if the far-field load region is sampled by X-rays, the representative volume element should be determined by preliminary experiments because almost all single-phase polycrystalline materials (with the exception of tungsten) are composite materials within which variations of elastic moduli are observed along with sample directions. In the multiphase polycrystalline materials, this problem becomes more serious due to the differential deformation of each phase with respect to each other. Therefore, an experimenter needs to be careful during the experiment, in acquiring representative data; this requires significant preparation and material characterization. With the findings of the dissertation, a set of rules are written for users and experimenters to apply during or before the experiments to collect accurate and representative data.

 Both specimens (SBL ¼ 6.7 mm [lectotype]; ABL ¼ about 7.1 mm [lectotype]) are conspecific with specimens of L. celeris (Dejean, 1828) [NEW SYNONYMY]. This species is one of only six North American Loxandrus with setae underneath the last tarsomere of each leg. The other species are structurally very different and belong to other groups. Both specimens of the type series of L. concinnus have a distinct orange spot around the suture near the posterior third of the elytra.

On phase change and latent heat models in metal additive manufacturing process simulation

description: This work proposes an extension of phase change and latent heat models for the simulation of metal powder bed fusion additive manufacturing processes on the macroscale and compares different models with respect to accuracy and numerical efficiency. Specifically, a systematic formulation of phase fraction variables is proposed relying either on temperature- or enthalpy-based interpolation schemes. Moreover, two well-known schemes for the numerical treatment of latent heat, namely the apparent capacity and the so-called heat integration scheme, are critically reviewed and compared with respect to numerical efficiency and overall accuracy. Eventually, a novel variant of the heat integration scheme is proposed that allows to directly control efficiency and accuracy by means of a user-defined tolerance. Depending on the chosen tolerance, it is shown that this novel approach offers increased numerical efficiency for a given level of accuracy or improved accuracy for a given level of numerical efficiency as compared to the apparent capacity and the original heat integration scheme. The investigation and comparison of all considered schemes is based on a series of numerical test cases that are representative for application scenarios in metal powder bed fusion additive manufacturing.
The squashed entanglement of the noiseless quantum Gaussian attenuator and amplifier

description: We determine the maximum squashed entanglement achievable between sender and receiver of the noiseless quantum Gaussian attenuators and amplifiers and we prove that it is achieved sending half of an infinitely squeezed two-mode vacuum state. The key ingredient of the proof is a lower bound to the squashed entanglement of the quantum Gaussian states obtained applying a two-mode squeezing operation to a quantum thermal Gaussian state tensored with the vacuum state. This is the first lower bound to the squashed entanglement of a quantum Gaussian state and opens the way to determine the squashed entanglement of all quantum Gaussian channels. Moreover, we determine the classical squashed entanglement of the quantum Gaussian states above and show that it is strictly larger than their squashed entanglement. This is the first time that the classical squashed entanglement of a mixed quantum Gaussian state is determined.

subject: Practice techniques

description: In today’s world there is a high incidence of playing-related injury among musicians. A study conducted in 2012 found that over 80% of surveyed professional orchestral musicians in Australia had experienced a musculoskeletal injury that interfered with their work (Ackermann, Driscoll, & Kenny, 2012, p. 183). One of the potential causal factors in the development of a playing-related injury is an inefficient and unhealthy practice routine. Fortunately, healthy and effective practice habits can be learned. The inclusion of information about practice strategies in the curriculum of young musicians working towards a performance career could be very beneficial in reducing the risk of injury for those musicians throughout their careers. Although there has been an increase in the attention given to music health research over the last 40 years, many educational institutions still do not adequately teach their students skills for developing a healthy and effective practice routine, nor do they provide sufficient information about injury prevention and management techniques. This research aims to add to the literature surrounding the development of a healthy and effective practice routine by investigating the author’s own experience of injury and recovery as a young musician training for a career in music. It also aims to share evidence about the potential for effective practice techniques to reduce or resolve physical and psychological challenges for musicians. This study begins with an examination of the author’s experience before and during her period of injury in order to determine the nature of the physical and psychological challenges that led to the breakdown of her general well-being. The main body of this research concerns the author’s attempts to overcome these challenges through the use of techniques for effective practice, and documents the results of their implementation. Although professional medical advice played a role in determining recovery strategies, the major focus investigated is the significant improvements to the researcher’s physical and psychological well-being resulting from self-guided changes to her practice approach. The last chapter of this research discusses recommendations for a sustainable career model, drawing together information from the literature and from the researcher’s own experience of injury and recovery.

description: The advance in power converters is demanding a higher set of measurement tests, in large bandwidths and with waveform monitoring in the time domain. Current probes contain many advantages for such measurements, but the direct use in the time domain is not straightforward due to the non-constant transfer impedance, which can cause critical distortion on the probe output. This work demonstrates through laboratory measurements an FFT-based technique for compensation of signals measured in the time domain. By applying the current probe’s transfer function together with the signal spectra of its measured current, the applied voltage can be recovered and the supply current can be estimated. Also, the calibration steps for measurement of the probe’s complex transfer function are detailed, comparing three different approaches. The results have shown excellent accuracy with the measurements for the compensation of a simple triangular signal in the kHz range.

description: Bacterial drug resistance is a major concern to the World Health Organisation and the future of human health. Increasing resistance is consistently being observed to all commonly used antibiotic agents, and more recently to the last-line antibiotic agents used when all other drugs fail. This is of major concern in all bacterial species, but it is of special concern in deadly and infectious bacteria such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This projected aimed at synthesising chemical agents which would act as probes investigating their antibiotic activity via a new mechanism of action previously unseen in current antibiotic agents in use today. Target compounds were derived from a structure mimicking that of a natural product, aurachin RE, which shows some antibiotic activity in a new mechanism of action. This mechanism of action is based upon the inhibition of the bacterial production of menaquinone, as menaquinone is used to shuttle electrons within its electron transport chain. This structure shows inhibitory action at a particular enzyme step, MenA, in the biosynthetic pathway of menaquinone. These target compounds were derived from retrosynthetic analysis, whereby the final target structures were based on preserving the key structure activity relationships present in aurachin RE. These target compounds will serve as probes in future research to further the understanding of the structure activity relationships with respect to MenA inhibition to provide the groundwork for further generations of compounds with increased inhibition and bactericidal activity compared to that of aurachin RE.

description: The Corona-pandemic has executives around the world facing new and in fact unprecedented challenges. While international media attention on Europe has largely focussed on Western European nations– notably on the Italy, Spain, Germany and the UK – and their responses, the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) have likewise scrambled to quickly implement measures to contain the pandemic’s spread. The latter is of particularly urgency for many CEE nations as their public health care system are in many aspects still a far cry from the capacities of its Western neighbours. Although actions have been characterised by remarkable cooperation between and within executives and legislatures, the urgency and speed of the response has meant that countries dispensed with normal mechanisms of scrutiny and in some cases adopted policies and decisions that may have long-lasting effects on the structure of executive power.

description: 4. Loxandrus collucens Casey, 1918:382
This taxon was described from an unspecified number of specimens collected at «Houston, Texas ». Casey’s collection in USNM contains a single specimen under that name, a female herein designated as lectotype, labelled «Tex./Casey bequest 1925/ Type USNM 47336 / collucens Csy. [handwritten]/ UAIC 00044049 / paratype Loxandrus collucens by [handwritten] R. T. Allen».
 The lectotype (SBL ¼ 7.5 mm; ABL ¼ about 8.4 mm) belongs to the rectus group and represents a species not treated by Allen (1972). This species differs from the other species of the group (e.g., L. pravitubus Allen, L. lucens Chaudoir, and L. rectus Say) by the combination of smaller size (ABL: 8.0– 10.2 mm), presence of meshed microsculpture on the proepisternum medially and prosternum laterally, and pale (entirely reddish-yellow to yellowish-red) legs.

description: This paper describes an experimental comparison between two standard supervised learning methods, namely Naive Bayes and Exemplar-based classification, on the Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) problem. The aim of the work is twofold. Firstly, it attempts to contribute to clarify some confusing information about the comparison between both methods appearing in the related literature. In doing so, several directions have been explored, including: testing several modifications of the basic learning algorithms and varying the feature space. Secondly, an improvement of both algorithms is proposed, in order to deal with large attribute sets. This modification, which basically consists in using only the positive information appearing in the examples, allows to improve greatly the efficiency of the methods, with no loss in accuracy. The experiments have been performed on the largest sense-tagged corpus available containing the most frequent and ambiguous English words. Results show that the Exemplar-based approach to WSD is generally superior to the Bayesian approach, especially when a specific metric for dealing with symbolic attributes is used.

description: We study cosmological braneworld models with a single timelike extra dimension. Such models admit the intriguing possibility that a contracting braneworld experiences a natural bounce without ever reaching a singular state. This feature persists in the case of anisotropic braneworlds under some additional and not very restrictive assumptions. Generalizing our study to braneworld models containing an induced brane curvature term, we find that a FRW-type singularity is once again absent if the bulk extra dimension is timelike. In this case, the universe either has a non-singular origin or commences its expansion from a quasi-singular state during which both the Hubble parameter and the energy density and pressure remain finite while the curvature tensor diverges. The non-singular and quasi-singular behaviour which we have discovered differs both qualitatively and quantitatively from what is usually observed in braneworld models with spacelike extra dimensions and could have interesting cosmological implications.

A Sacred Paideia: The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese, Immigration, and Education in New York City, 1959-1979

description: This dissertation examines the role the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of North and South America played in shaping Greek education in New York City during the period 1959-1979. Beginning in 1959, when Archbishop Iakovos was appointed as the fourth Archbishop by the Ecumenical Patriarch, the Archdiocese focused its attention on expanding and modernizing educational institutions. The Archbishop advocated for a “resurrection of a Greek Orthodox consciousness” in education that would instill knowledge of the Greek language, as well as the historical, cultural, and religious legacy of the Greek Orthodox nation. As parish communities in New York City and the new wave of Greek immigrants heeded the call to build and expand parochial schools over the course of the 1960s and 1970s, the Archdiocese’s Department of Education also sought to modernize its curriculum and books, in addition to the challenging task of upgrading the teacher training program at St. Basil’s Academy. Modernization, however, did not entail assimilation and a diminishing of Hellenism, but a renewal of a Hellenic Orthodox identity within a religiously and ethnically pluralistic society. In part, several factors influenced the educational agenda of the Archdiocese: the historical position of the Church in relation to education, the needs of the new immigrants within the broader context of Greek Americans in the US, and the politics of Greece in relation to Cyprus and Turkey. This study ends in 1979 when shifts in demographics, declining enrollments, and competition with public schools compelled the Archdiocese and parish communities to reassess the future of their educational programs. This work weaves the Greek American immigrant experience into the broader narrative of immigration to New York in the post-1965 period. A more complex and dynamic portrait of Greek American education in New York emerges as well as the central role played by the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese. The insights from this work contribute the Greek American educational experience to the larger body of scholarship on the history of education in the United States.
Computational generation of voids in $a$-Si and $a$-Si:H by cavitation at low density

description: Use of amorphous silicon ($a$-Si) and hydrogenated amorphous silicon ($a$-Si:H) in photovoltaics has been limited by light-induced degradation (the Staebler-Wronski effect) and low hole mobilities, and voids have been implicated in both problems. Accurately modeling the void microstructure is critical to theoretically understanding the cause of these issues. Previous methods of modeling voids have involved removing atoms according to an {\it a priori} idea of void structure and/or using computationally expensive molecular dynamics. We propose a new fast and unbiased approach based on the established and efficient Wooten-Winer-Weaire (WWW) Monte Carlo method, by using a range of fixed densities to generate equilibrium structures of $a$-Si and $a$-Si:H that maintain 4-coordination. We find a smooth evolution in bond lengths, bond angles, and bond angle deviations $Δθ$ as the density is changed around the equilibrium value of $4.9\times10^{22}\ $atoms/cm$^3$. However, a significant change occurs at densities below $4.3\times10^{22}\ $atoms/cm$^3$, where voids begin to form to relieve tensile stress, akin to a cavitation process in liquids. We find both small voids (radius $\sim$3 Å) and larger ones (up to 7 Å), which compare well with available experimental data. The voids have an influence on atomic structure up to 4 Åbeyond the void surface and are associated with decreasing structural order, measured by $Δθ$. We also observe an increasing medium-range dihedral order with increasing density. Our method allows fast generation of statistical ensembles, resembles a physical process during experimental deposition, and provides a set of void structures for further studies of their effects on degradation, hole mobility, two-level systems, thermal transport, and elastic properties.

description: We generalize the Weinstein-Moser theorem on the existence of nonlinear normal modes near an equilibrium in a Hamiltonian system to a theorem on the existence of relative perodic orbits near a relative equilibrium in a Hamiltonian system with continuous symmetries. In particular we prove that under appropriate hypotheses there exist relative periodic orbits near relative equilibria even when these relative equilibria are singular points of the corresponding moment map, i.e. when the reduced spaces are singular.

description: A tax authority’s ability to successfully collect taxes depends on its relationship with the taxpayers as well as their commitment to contribute to the common good. In this paper, we examine the effect of promises on tax compliance aimed at fostering taxpayer commit- ment. First, in a field experiment, we investigate whether tax compliance changes when taxpayers make a formal promise to pay their taxes on time with compliance rewarded by entry into a lottery for either a financial or nonfinancial (in-kind) reward. We then complement this analysis with a laboratory experiment in which we measure the effect of promises in the different compliance domain of tax honesty and contrast the effect of a pure promise to pay with schemes that pair the promise with a reward offer. We find that taxpayers with a history of compliance or high scores on tax morale are more likely to make the promise, but solely offering the possibility to make a promise does not lead to a change in compliance behavior. Whether or not compliance improves depends on the type of reward to which the promise is linked. In our experimental analyses, for example, compliance only increases if the reward for promise fulfillment is nonfinancial.

description: Grothendieck polynomials, introduced by Lascoux and Schützenberger, are certain $K$-theory representatives for Schubert varieties. Symplectic Grothendieck polynomials, described more recently by Wyser and Yong, represent the $K$-theory classes of orbit closures for the complex symplectic group acting on the complete flag variety. We prove a transition formula for symplectic Grothendieck polynomials and study their stable limits. We show that each of the $K$-theoretic Schur $P$-functions of Ikeda and Naruse arises from a limiting procedure applied to symplectic Grothendieck polynomials representing certain "Grassmannian" orbit closures.
