description: In the summer of 2016, the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 364 cored through the post-impact strata of the end-Cretaceous Chicxulub impact crater, Mexico. Core samples were collected from the post-impact successions for terrestrial palynological analysis, yielding a rare Danian to Ypresian high-resolution palynological assemblage. This record constitutes one of the first Palaeocene and Ypresian palynological assemblages from Central America or Mexico, representing a more coastal lowland palaeoenvironment than previous studies from mainland Mexico. Although the abundance of pollen and spores is very low in the Palaeocene carbonates, abundance increases in the more organic-rich shale layers representing the Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) and later Ypresian. The spores and gymnosperm pollen identified from IODP 364, although rare compared to the angiosperm pollen, are a diverse mix of cosmopolitan taxa, as well as some characteristic of fossil Central American assemblages (e.g. Selaginellaceae), and others previously identified from the Paleogene northern Gulf of Mexico coastal plain. The assemblage generally indicates the presence of nearby moist to seasonally dry lowland tropical forest, with some taxa suggestive of higher elevation forests. Ephedroid pollen grains may be indicative of the presence of more arid conditions.

description: Presentiamo in traduzione italiana due testi di Bachtin redatti intorno agli anni 1944-1945 quali appunti preparatori a un lavoro su Gustave Flaubert. Da queste pagine lo scrittore francese mostra di rappresentare per il pensatore russo una figura molto più importante di quanto si supponesse finora. Fra i tanti motivi di estremo interesse qui presenti segnaliamo la riflessione sul ruolo degli animali in letteratura in riferimento al tema flaubertiano della bêtise – con aperture teoriche che troveranno ampie conferme negli studi letterari degli anni più recenti – e, ad essa legato, l’insistito richiamo sulla «possibilità di una visione del mondo completamente diversa», che ammetta la «curvatura» dello spazio e del tempo, quale presupposto della parola romanzesca.

The effect of intermittent lubrication on the fatigue life of pearlitic rail steel in rolling-sliding contact
Creators: name: Fletcher, D. I.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Railway flange lubrication can be unreliable, resulting in intermittent rather than continuous lubrication. Twin-disc contact simulation tests were carried out to investigate the influence of intermittent lubrication on rail steel fatigue life, using both a colloidal suspension of molybdenum disulphide in an oil carrier fluid (similar to a commercial flange lubrication product) and water. A brief interruption of the lubricant supply during molybdenum disulphide lubrication produced rapid surface failure of the rail steel, which was followed by rapid contact fatigue crack growth upon reapplication of the lubricant. During water lubrication the interruption of the lubricant (water) supply did not produce such rapid crack growth. The results were found to be in qualitative agreement with the predictions of the three-mechanism model of rolling contact fatigue, which combines the mechanisms of ratchetting (accumulation of unidirectional plastic strain until the critical failure strain of the material is reached) and the fracture mechanics-based mechanisms of shear stress driven and tensile fluid assisted crack growth. Analysis of the test results using this model revealed crack face friction to be an important factor controlling crack growth, which may be responsible for the difference in behaviour between contacts lubricated with the molybdenum disulphide-based lubricant and those lubricated by water.
Coding and multiple access protocols for land-mobile satellite data networks.

description: In land mobile satellite communications, the mobiles share the same channel for the transmission of their messages towards the satellite. Therefore a multiple access scheme that regulates the access to the channel must be employed. In this thesis, we compare the performance of four different access techniques for the case of land mobile data networks. A hybrid ARQ scheme based on Reed-Solomon codes is used to combat the error bursts resulting from multipath fading and shadowing. The influence on the efficiency of the system of parameters such as code rate, block length, guard time and error rate on the acknowledgement channel is evaluated. The advantages of using symbol interleaving and erasure decoding are also discussed.

Investigating Hepatitis C Virus Interactions with Host Lipid Pathways that are Critical for Viral Propagation Using Small Molecule Inhibitors and Chemical Biology Methods

description: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is remarkably capable of efficiently hijacking host cell pathways including lipid metabolism in the liver in order to create pro-viral environments for pathogenesis. It is becoming increasingly clear that identifying small molecule inhibitors that target host factors exploited by the virus will expand available HCV treatment options. As such, a thorough understanding of host-virus interactions is critical to the development of alternative therapeutic strategies. Hepatic lipid droplets (LDs) are recruited by HCV to play essential roles in the viral lifecycle. The intracellular location of LDs is modified upon interacting with viral structural core protein. This enables formation of platforms that support viral particle assembly. Because these interactions are non-static, capturing its dynamic processes in order to better understand viral assembly can be achieved with label-free molecular imaging enhanced with live-cell capabilities. Chemical biology approaches that includes CARS microscopy employed in a multi-modal imaging system was used to probe interactions between HCV and host LDs. By successfully tracking LD trajectories, we identified core protein’s ability to alter LD speed and control for LD directionality. Using protein expression model systems that allowed for simultaneous tracking of core protein and LDs, our data revealed that mutations in the core protein region that vary in hydrophobicity and LD binding strengths, are factors that control for differential modulation of LD kinetics. Furthermore, we measured bidirectional LD travels runs and velocities, and observed critical properties by which core protein induces LD migration towards regions of viral particle assembly. Given that many steps in the HCV lifecycle are directly linked to host lipid metabolism, it is not surprising that disrupting lipid biosynthetic pathways would negatively affect viral replication. From this outlook, we explored small molecule inhibitors that targeted several lipid metabolic pathways to study its antiviral properties. Using fluorescent probes covalently labeled to viral RNA, we captured the visualization of disrupted replication complexes upon antagonizing nuclear hormone receptors that are linked to regulating lipid homeostasis. Correspondingly, biochemistry and molecular imaging techniques were also employed to identify novel antiviral mechanisms of small molecule inhibitors that target additional HCV-dependent lipid metabolic pathways.

description: Alleviating poverty is at the top of the global agenda for sustainable development and is important to reduce inequality, improve the livelihoods of those most disadvantaged, and support equal access to basic livelihood resources. Those in poverty are most commonly agricultural workers and living in rural areas. As such, rural and agricultural development forms an integral component of poverty alleviation. Interventions for rural and agricultural development are widespread and vary greatly. The two prominent strategies addressed in this thesis are finance for development and beekeeping for development. This thesis seeks to answer the question “can beekeeping and financial services support rural and agricultural development?”. To answer this question, the thesis explores and describes the beekeeping industry and its role in rural development in Fiji and evaluates the effectiveness of financial support available for the start-up and growth of beekeeping enterprises. A mixed-method, case study methodology was used. Throughout the study, data were gathered through key informant interviews, focus groups, questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and participant observation. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics for quantitative data and thematic and content analysis for qualitative data. The beekeeping industry in Fiji was found to be lucrative, indicating beekeeping is a suitable income-generating activity to promote for development. Finance interventions were found to be appropriate in the case study area. Although, the study highlighted the importance of providing adequate capacity building for beneficiaries to manage their beekeeping enterprise long-term. It is recommended that financial support provided to new beekeepers aligns with the experience and skill level of beekeepers. It is also recommended that development interventions include training in both business skills and technical beekeeping skills to increase efficacy. Considering the finance for beekeeping literature is so limited, this is an important finding that contributes to the growth of the field. The recommendations provided in this thesis can guide development practitioners to effectively support rural, agricultural, and low-income households to adopt beekeeping as a sustainable livelihood activity.

Ventisei anni dopo, nuovamente a Milano, nei locali della Galleria del Naviglio, il poeta espone un corpus di cento pitture, nate dall’intento di dar vita ad un’opera che fosse contestualmente d’immagine e di parola. Di essa resta l’esclusiva traccia poetica nel volume Rime di viaggio per la terra dipinta, pubblicato per volontà editoriale senza corredo iconografico. Il ritrovamento di un fondo fotografico correlato alle originarie pitture ha permesso di restituire al componimento poetico la sua fonte figurativa  ed approdare ad una lettura d’insieme dell’intera operazione artistica.

description: Recently, the importance of sago starch has increased, as it has become one of the main economically important agricultural crops to the most Southeast Asia countries. In the present work, an analysis on drying process of sago starch (Metroxylon sagu Rottb.) underwent various temperature has been made by using four empirical equations. The main goal of this analysis is to suggest the most accurate equation, in order to model and simulate the mechanical drying of sago starch. The experimental investigations were carried out in a gravity convection lab oven; and ±50g of sago starch (sample heights of 1 cm) was dried through four different temperatures, which were 50, 60, 70 and 80°C. The effect of drying temperature on the drying kinetics, as well as various qualities attributes of sago starch, such as microstructure, colour and functional properties were investigated. The results suggested that drying temperature has significant effect on sago starch drying kinetic; therefore, drying temperature would be the basis to select drying condition. Meanwhile, it was found that the various drying temperature ranging from 50 to 80°C affected the product quality especially in term of colour.

description: We thank Harper & Palayew for replicating our analysis of traffic risks on April 20.1 2 We agree that the absolute risks on April 20 must be modest because the majority of Americans do not celebrate the ‘high holiday’ and because comparison days are not devoid of impaired driving. Similarly, secular trends in relative risks for April 20 reflect evolving driving norms, fluctuating traffic enforcement, changing baseline rates of cannabis use, variable celebration behaviours and rapid growth of the cannabis industry. We also agree that crashes are already recognised to be more frequent on traditional holidays such as Independence Day and Thanksgiving.3 Beyond this shared understanding, however, we disagree with Harper & Palayew on a key assumption in their analysis.

Investigation of expansive soil for design of light residential footings in Melbourne
Creators: name: Karunarathne, Aruna Nishantha
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Expansive soils are found in most Australian states. In fact, it is estimated that 20% of surface soils in Australia are categorized as moderate to highly expansive clays. Quaternary basalt clays generally exhibit expansive characteristics and are commonly found in the Western part of Victoria. These expansive soils undergo heave and settlement due to moisture changes. Such ground movements are capable of creating differential movement in footings which results in cracks and damage to light structures. Recently, it has been reported that more than 5000 houses experienced damage in Victoria due to changes in soil moisture caused by extreme climate events. Since the climate condition is the natural cause of soil moisture changes, it must be considered in the design stage of relevant structures.

description: Cette thèse intitulée Examen des formes d’appropriation des femmes à partir du témoignage de Waris Dirie dans Fleur du désert, vise à démontrer le caractère ubiquiste de l’appropriation des femmes. En me servant du témoignage écrit de Dirie comme fil conducteur, j’analyse différentes formes d’appropriation parmi celles qu’elle a connues en m’appuyant sur des concepts issus de la théorie féministe matérialiste française, principalement ceux qu’a élaborés Colette Guillaumin. Je recours également à l’épistémologie de la connaissance située et à l’analyse du discours afin de valider et d’interpréter le parcours de Dirie. Les trois principales formes d’appropriation que rencontre cette dernière et que j’étudie dans cette thèse sont l’excision comme type de mutilations génitales féminines, le mariage forcé, ainsi que l’imposition de diktats, d’un savoir-être et d’une sexualité féminine. Enfin, j’ouvre un questionnement sur l’établissement d’une citoyenneté égalitaire entre les différentes classes subissant un rapport de domination.

description: Objective: This study sought to identify factors independently associated with a negative impression of the medical profession in patients with endometriosis who were presenting to a tertiary referral centre. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted on a prospective data registry between December 2013 and June 2017 at a tertiary referral centre for pelvic pain and endometriosis. The main outcome variable, negative impression about the medical profession, was measured with the four-item subscale of the Endometriosis Health Profile-30 and divided into three groups: no (0), some (1-8), and many (9-16) negative impressions. Patients with a surgical and histological diagnosis of endometriosis were included. Postmenopausal women were excluded. Bivariate analyses determined significant associations (P < 0.05) between variables from the registry and the main outcome. Variables with a significant association were put into ordinal logistic regression with sequential backwards elimination.Results: Negative impression of the medical profession was independently associated with previous surgery that did not help symptoms (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.77; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.09-2.87; P = 0.021), presentation to an emergency room in the past 3 months (aOR 1.90; 95% CI 1.17-3.07; P = 0.009), and previous visits to a complementary health care provider (aOR 2.16; 95% CI 1.42-3.29; P < 0.0005), while controlling for an endometriosis pain-related morbidity composite variable.Conclusion: Negative perception of the medical profession in women with endometriosis was associated with surgical treatment failure, emergency room use, and accessing complementary health care. Each identified factor offers an opportunity for intervention to improve the perception of the medical profession among women with endometriosis.

description: L’exode la classe moyenne vers la périphérie urbaine en Occident dans les années 1960 a laissé les quartiers centraux de plusieurs villes abandonnés. À cause de leur attraction foncière, certaines classes ont commencé à reconquérir ces endroits abordables. Face à ce phénomène, plusieurs villes ont créé des politiques de renouvellement urbain pour ramener la classe moyenne et diversifier le tissu social. À Fort-de-France, en Martinique, cette tendance s’affiche dans le plan d’urbanisme de 2003, dont le complexe de la Pointe Simon, comprenant un centre d’affaires, un hôtel et des condominiums de luxe, est la figure dominante. Situé dans un quartier défavorisé, ce projet est loin de faire l’unanimité au sein de la population. Cette recherche s’est intéressée à la perception du projet chez les citoyens de Rive-Droite, aux effets que celui-ci aura sur la composition sociale du quartier et sa possible gentrification. Nous avons découvert que loin d’être contre le changement dans leur secteur, les résidents sont mécontents du processus politique lié au projet.

description: Cytokines and immune mediators play an important role in the communication between immune cells guiding their response to infectious diseases or cancer. In this study, a comprehensive longitudinal analysis of serum cytokines and immune mediators in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients was performed. In a prospective, non-interventional, longitudinal study, blood samples from 22 HNSCC patients were taken at defined time points (TP) before, during, and every 3 months after completion of (chemo)radio)therapy (CRT/RT) until 12 months after treatment. Serumconcentrations of 17 cytokines/immune mediators and High-Mobility-Group-Protein B1 (HMGB1) were measured by fluorescent bead array and ELISA. Concentrations of sFas were significantly elevated during and after CRT/RT, whereas perforin levels were significantly decreased after CRT/RT. Levels of MIP-1 and Granzyme B di ered significantly during CRT/RT by HPV status. Increased HMGB1 levels were observed at recurrence, accompanied by high levels of IL-4 and IL-10. The sFas increase and simultaneous perforin decrease may indicate an impaired immune cell function during adjuvant radiotherapy. Increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in HPV+ compared to HPV- patients seem to reflect the elevated immunogenicity of HPV-positive tumors. High levels of HMGB1 and anti-inflammatory cytokines at recurrence may be interpreted as a sign of immune evasion.

Periodic analysis of critical dimension measurements in the photolithography manufacturing process.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Chemical.

description: ModIV is Nortel Networks' semiconductor fabrication facility. It specializes in producing complex designs at low cost in a short period of time. This feature allows ModIV to serve as both a production and research facility. The semiconductor manufacturing process is a series of precise layering steps carried out on silicon wafers. Each layering step occurs in one of three fabrication areas: device formation, photolithography and interconnect. One of the biggest difficulties associated with troubleshooting problems in the semiconductor process is due to the lack of measurements performed on production batches. Most of the production measuring steps occur in the photolithography area. In the photolithography area there are three sequential processing steps: coating, exposing and developing. For capacity and maintenance reasons, there are three pieces of equipment that can be used interchangeably at each of the three processing steps. This means that there are three coaters, three steppers and three developers. Measurements can only be taken after the developer step. The equipment interchangeability creates a problem when trying to detect the root cause of processing problems. Currently each processing level has its own control chart that incorporates all of the processing paths for that particular level. The primary objective of this work was to develop a method of isolating the root cause of processing problems. A data extraction and sorting scheme was developed to create data files that could be analyzed for periodic behavior. A model building algorithm was created to detect periodic behavior and a series of stochastic simulations were used to determine the quantity of data required to detect the underlying signals with different signal to noise ratios. An experiment was conducted in the photolithography area to intentionally cause a problem. This problem isolation method was used, and the correct root cause of the problem was found.

Spatial variations of metal(oid)s in sediments, and SRO significantly differed between dry and wet conditions, and their concentration correlated to oyster health (survival, condition index, density, and total weight). Multivariate modelling revealed that the oyster parameters were best explained by combined metal(oid)s in sediments and oysters. Twenty-one pesticides were detected in the Richmond River, with complex mixtures of up to 11 pesticides at a single site. Herbicides were the primary type of pesticide (12), and atrazine was detected at all sites. Pesticides of a lipophilic nature accumulated more in oysters than in water. The number and concentration of pesticides in water and oysters showed weak relationships with oyster mortality but correlated moderately with the oyster condition index. When exposed to atrazine, the growth and fatty acid profiles of phytoplankton Tisochrysis lutea and Chaetoceros muelleri were affected significantly, but species response was temperature and light dependent. T. lutea was most sensitive to atrazine at a low light intensity (401±25 Lux) and temperature (24 ºC), with the 96h-IC50 for growth of 2 µg/L. C. muelleri was most susceptible to atrazine at a high light intensity (1938±189 Lux) and temperature (30 ºC), with the 96h-IC50 for growth of 10 µg/L. Fatty acid profiles of T. lutea changed inconsistently with increased atrazine (5-127 µg/L) when cultured at 24 °C, but were not affected by atrazine (12-81 µg/L) at 30 °C. C. muelleri’s fatty acid profiles were only affected by atrazine concentrations of >9 µg/L at 24 °C and >7 µg/L at 30 °C. Overall, this study provides baseline data for metal(ioid) and pesticide contamination in the Richmond River estuary and highlights complex mixtures and pose health risks for the SRO. It further highlights those other environmental parameters, including light and temperature, influence toxicity. Further development of methods to assess multiple stressors and the influence of environmental stressors on contaminant toxicity is required to better understand the impacts of contaminants on ecosystems. A strategy for mitigating chemical contamination in the Richmond River is required to improve the health of natural oyster populations and the potential for aquaculture.

description: Background: Ageing is a highly complex process marked by a temporal cascade of events, which promote alterations in the normal functioning of an individual organism. The triggers of normal brain ageing are not well understood, even less so the factors which initiate and steer the neuronal degeneration, which underpin disorders such as dementia. A wealth of data on how nutrients and diets may support cognitive function and preserve brain health are available, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying their biological action in both normal ageing, age-related cognitive decline, and in the development of neurodegenerative disorders have not been clearly elucidated. Objectives: This review aims to summarise the current state of knowledge of vulnerabilities that predispose towards dysfunctional brain ageing, highlight potential protective mechanisms, and discuss dietary interventions that may be used as therapies. A special focus of this paper is on the impact of nutrition on neuroprotection and the underlying molecular mechanisms, and this focus reflects the discussions held during the 2nd workshop ‘Nutrition for the Ageing Brain: Functional Aspects and Mechanisms’ in Copenhagen in June 2016. The present review is the most recent in a series produced by the Nutrition and Mental Performance Task Force under the auspice of the International Life Sciences Institute Europe (ILSI Europe). Conclusion: Coupling studies of cognitive ageing with studies investigating the effect of nutrition and dietary interventions as strategies targeting specific mechanisms, such as neurogenesis, protein clearance, inflammation, and non-coding and microRNAs is of high value. Future research on the impact of nutrition on cognitive ageing will need to adopt a longitudinal approach and multimodal nutritional interventions will likely need to be imposed in early-life to observe significant impact in older age.

Public Transport Infrastructure and Security: Public Values, Reprioritizations, Decisions and Trade-offs (Abstract and citation only)

description: The global phenomenon of terrorists undertaking asymmetric and unpredictable attacks on non-combatants means that security at passenger air transport and rail transport infrastructure must continue to be a priority and a key factor in the safety of passengers everywhere. However, current security arrangements differ from place to place and from mode to mode, e.g., from Europe and the Americas to Asia, from commuter, regional, long-distance to high-speed rail, and from domestic to international air travel. Exactly why these differences occur has yet to be fully investigated or explained.
description: This study privileges the view that security arrangements differ in sophistication and intensity across modes and locations according to the prioritization of the public values inherent in the infrastructure’s operation. Public values research has traditionally centred on public sector administration, management and the governance of public assets; however, a key driver of this project has been the investigation of other areas of society where public values are expected to be realized. By operationalizing public values in the context of passenger transport infrastructure, this research takes a novel approach as it seeks to use public values theory to help to explain why certain functional societal operations exist – in this case, passenger air and rail transport security; why they function and operate as they do; and what future security regimes might look like if the public values inherent in the infrastructure are reprioritized at some point.
description: Having proposed a theoretical framework based on existing public values research, this project empirically tested this theory with users of transport infrastructure. The public, after all, are the ultimate determinants of what is of value to society. A three-part comprehensive research program using interviews, participant observation and Q-methodology was employed to provide a greater understanding of why security measures relating to passenger transport infrastructure look as they do now, and what these measures might look like in the future. It is posited that security arrangements continually change as a result of the constant reprioritization of operational public values pertaining to passenger transport and its infrastructure. These values, it is argued, are subject to continual reprioritization based on critical incidents; for example, a terrorist attack. A better understanding of the link between public values and transport security may provide important clues as to how we can predict future security needs and give decision makers greater opportunity to ensure that transport infrastructure security does what the public expects of it.

description: Dans le contexte socio-économique actuel (1999), l'adolescent est bien souvent décrit comme un danger potentiel (on peut parler d'éphébophobie) et non comme une promesse d'avenir pour la société, autant par les médias et les politiques que par les chercheurs qui tentent de déconstruire ce "mythe de la violence juvénile" (M. Males, B. Schissel). L'espace public constitue dès lors un terrain d'enquête intéressant pour mieux évaluer cette "peur du jeune" en ce qu'il confronte divers publics, jeunes et moins jeunes, et est donc susceptible de cristalliser certaines pratiques de stigmatisation voir de discrimination à l'encontre des adolescents. Cette étude basée essentiellement sur une observation participante et des entrevues semi-directive, vise à rendre compte de l'expérience urbaine d'une douzaine de jeunes de 15 à 18 ans habitant dans la banlieue ouest d'Ottawa.

description: We present a spectroelectrochemical study of the reductive desorption and the oxidative redeposition of a monolayer of 1-hexadecanethiols on Au(111) in an aqueous alkaline electrolyte solution. The solvent/thiol interactions were found to play an important role in the electrodeposition of self-assembled monolayers of low-solubility thiols. The orientation of the alkane chains in a monolayer remains unchanged after its reductive desorption and oxidative redeposition. The reductive desorption/oxidative redeposition of low-solubility thiols on Au(111) proceed through a two step mechanism. The first step of the reductive desorption is ascribed to the reduction of chemisorbed thiols. The second step of the reductive desorption occurs at a more negative potential and is assigned to the reorientation of the monolayer of physisorbed thiolates into micelles. The unblocking of the Au(111) surface caused by this reorientation of the thiolates allows the formation of an electrical double layer. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Jacod ([23]) established that the compensator of a simple point process on R+, when taken with respect to the point process' internal history, exists as an essentially unique predictable increasing process which determines the point process' distribution. In the present thesis, we endeavour to infer other distributional properties of a point process from its compensator. Specifically, regarding point processes on R +, we show that the compensator, under appropriate assumptions, (i) determines a sequence of "locally Cox" point processes of discrete support which approximate the original point process' distribution, (ii) determines the stochastic order of two point process distributions with respect to three known partial orders on a certain space of point process realizations, and (iii) determines the association of a point process under any one of the same three partial orders. For the purposes of points (ii) and (iii), we develop a tool called a "representation map", which enables one to infer important distributional properties of random elements of a partially ordered Polish space by "representing" these elements as random sequences of R&d1;infinity+ . Regarding point processes on the quadrant R2+:=&sqbl0;0, infinity&parr0;x&sqbl0;0,infinity&parr0; , we define the compensator as a family of compensators on R+ induced by the planar point process, and show that, under the assumption of strict simplicity and mild regularity conditions, this family exists, is essentially unique, and characterizes the planar point process' distribution---thus generalizing Jacod's result. As a subsidiary result, we develop a regenerative form for the compensator of the non-simple, marked point process on R +, generalizing Jacod's formula ([23]: Proposition 3.1) for the compensator of the simple, marked point process.
