description: In this article we compute the two-loop SQCD corrections to Higgs-quark-quark couplings in the generic MSSM generated by diagrams involving squarks and gluinos. We give analytic results for the two-loop contributions in the limit of vanishing external momenta for general SUSY masses valid in the MSSM with general flavour-structure. Working in the decoupling limit (M_SUSY >> v) we resum all chirally enhanced corrections (related to Higgs-quark-quark couplings) up to order α_s^(n+1) tan(β)^n. This resummation allows for a more precise determination of the Yukawa coupling and CKM elements of the MSSM superpotential necessary for the study of Yukawa coupling unification. The knowledge of the Yukawa couplings of the MSSM superpotential in addition allows us to derive the effective Higgs-quark-quark couplings entering FCNC processes. These effective vertices can in addition be used for the calculation of Higgs decays into quarks as long as M_SUSY > M_Higgs holds. Furthermore, our calculation is also necessary for consistently including the chirally enhanced self-energies contributions into the calculation of FCNC processes in the MSSM beyond leading order. At two-loop order, we find an enhancement of the SUSY threshold corrections, induced by the quark self-energies, of approximately 9% for μ=M_SUSY compared to the one-loop result. At the same time, the matching scale dependence of the effective Higgs-quark-quark couplings is significantly reduced.

Isomorphic Hilbert spaces associated with different Complex Contours of the $\mathcal{PT}$-Symmetric $(-x^{4}) $ Theory

description: In this work, we stress the existence of isomorphisms which map complex contours from the upper half to contours in the lower half of the complex plane. The metric operator is found to depend on the chosen contour but the maps connecting different contours are norm-preserving. To elucidate these features, we parametrized the contour $z=-2i\sqrt{1+ix}$ considered in Phys.Rev.D73:085002 (2006) for the study of wrong sign $x^{4}$ theory. For the parametrized contour of the form $z=a\sqrt{b+i c x}$, we found that there exists an equivalent Hermitian Hamiltonian provided that $a^{2} c$ is taken to be real. The equivalent Hamiltonian is $b$-independent but the metric operator is found to depend on all the parameters $a$, $b$ and $c$. Different values of these parameters generate different metric operators which define different Hilbert spaces . All these Hilbert spaces are isomorphic to each other even for parameters values that define contours with ends in two adjacent wedges. As an example, we showed that the transition amplitudes associated with the contour $z=-2i\sqrt{1+ix}$ are exactly the same as those calculated using the contour $z=\sqrt{1+ix}$, which is not $\mathcal{PT}$-Symmetric and has ends in two adjacent wedges in the complex plane.

Mechanisms of B Cell immunity in marsupials: A study of genes that regulate immunity
Creators: name: Suthers, Amy
Publisher: name: CQUniversity
Year: 2017
Subjects: classificationCode: 310905
subject: Animal immunology

description: Marsupials are capable of producing antibodies in response to antigens, but questions remain about the timing, rate of class switching and magnitude of the B cell responses when compared to eutherian species such as humans and mice. While antibody production is at the centre of the mammalian humoral immune response, B cells also perform other functions in the immune system including antigen presentation, cytokine production and immune regulation. It is therefore essential to have a global understanding that encompasses the spectrum of B cell functions when attempting to assess B cell immunobiology and immunocompetence in marsupials. Little research to date has addressed marsupial B cell function beyond the scope of antibody production. The aim of this study was to identify if marsupials possess the molecular framework that may enable their B cells to perform these multifaceted functions. To achieve this, a survey of immune genes was performed on activated lymphocytes from the the tammar wallaby (Macropus eugenii), a model macropod marsupial. The genomic organisation and molecular expression of the central genes that are involved in B Cell antigen recognition and signal initiation (CD79a, CD79b, CD81, CD19), inter-cellular associations (CD40), intracellular signalling (Lyn, Syk, BLNK), and the cytokine (IL21) that regulates the B cell response were characterised in wallaby and some other distantly related marsupial species. To support these findings, protein expression studies were conducted for an endangered macropod species, the bridled nailtail wallaby (Onychogalea fraenata), using the data obtained from the closely related tammar wallaby as a template. Overall findings suggest that macropod marsupials not only express these key immune molecules, but also possess complex immune regulatory mechanisms such as alternative splicing; evident in the expression of their immune signalling molecules. It was also evident that post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation of tyrosine residues is an area of importance for future studies as key macropod signal transduction molecules possess more potential phosphorylation sites than their human counterparts. While low expressed sequence conservation and/or some differences in genomic organisation compared with eutherian homologues was found for some molecules in this study, the differences in antibody responses, previously attributed to immune deficiency, do not appear to be explained by a lack of complexity in the metatherian molecular framework that underpins most essential B cell functions.

Phases of Flavor Neutrino Masses and CP Violation
Creators: name: Yasue, Masaki
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: For flavor neutrino masses M^{PDG}_{ij} (i,j=e,mu,tau) compatible with the phase convention defined by Particle Data Group (PDG), if neutrino mixings are controlled by small corrections to those with sin(theta_{13})=0 denoted by sin(theta_{13})deltaM^{PDG}_{e tau} and sin(theta_{13})deltaM^{PDG}_{tau tau}, CP-violating Dirac phase delta{CP} is calculated by using these corrections. If possible neutrino mass hierarchies are taken into account, the main source of delta{CP} turns out to be deltaM_{e tau}^{PDG} except for the inverted mass hierarchy with {m}_1 approx -{m}_2, where {m}_i=m_ie^{-i varphi_i} (i=1,2) stands for a neutrino mass m_i accompanied by a Majorana phase varphi_i for varphi_{1,2,3} giving two CP-violating Majorana phases. We can further derive that delta_{CP} approx arg(M_{e mu}^{PDG})-arg(M_{mu mu}^{PDG}) with arg (M_{e mu}^{PDG}) approx arg(M_{e tau}^{PDG}) for the normal mass hierarchy and delta_{CP} approx arg(M_{ee}^{PDG})-arg(M_{e tau}^{PDG})+pi for the inverted mass hierarchy with {m}_1 approx {m}_2. For specific flavor neutrino masses M_{ij} whose phases arise from M_{e mu,e tau,tau tau}, these phases can be connected with arg(M_{ij}^{PDG}) (i,j=e,mu,tau). As a result, numerical analysis suggests that Dirac CP-violation becomes maximal as |arg(M_{e mu})| approaches to pi/2 for the inverted mass hierarchy with {m}_1 approx {m}_2 and for the degenerate mass pattern satisfying the inverted mass ordering and that Majorana CP-violation becomes maximal as |arg(M_{tau tau})| approaches to its maximal value around 0.5 for the normal mass hierarchy. Alternative CP-violation induced by three CP-violating Dirac phases is compared with the conventional one induced by delta{CP} and two CP-violating Majorana phases.

description: "Women are returning to study as mature age students in increasing numbers. Typically, these women have been away from study for a number of years and, in order to gain entrance into a university course most women are required to undertake a bridging program. Bridging programs can provide women with an alternative pathway into university and are designed to develop the academic and study skills required to successfully undertake undergraduate studies. The Women into Science and Technology (WIST) bridging program, offered by Central Queensland University, is a selfpaced bridging program which provides a low cost, study at home option specifically designed to accommodate womens needs. This research focuses on the perceived needs of women who are enrolled in the WIST program. To this end a survey instrument has been developed to identify the needs and challenges of women undertaking the WIST program. This instrument was used to explore the needs and challenges of women enrolled in the WIST program. The survey results revealed that women have a range of needs which include support from the university, development of study and academic skills, personal qualities such as motivation and determination as well as support from their family and personal networks. The results indicate that the university needs to provide a range of support mechanisms and processes. These outcomes were used to develop the Get SET for Study framework that can be used for the planning and design of bridging courses similar to WIST for women who are considering enrolling in university." -- abstract

description: It remains unclear whether there are differences in the physiological demands and perceptual responses of high and low classification wheelchair basketball (WCB) players, or what impact WCB game play has on muscle damage and subsequent physical performance in these athletes. The physiological demands (peak heart rate, relative exercise intensity, and metabolic and thermoregulatory responses) and perceptual responses (ratings of perceived exertion, thermal comfort, muscle soreness and perceived recovery) of six athletes (n = 6; 27 ± 3 yr) with physical disabilities were recorded during 40-mins of WCB game play. The WCB players were divided into high (2 spinal cord injuries (SCI), 1 spina bifida (SB)) and low classification (1 SCI, 1 cerebral palsy (CP), 1 SB) groups. The impact of WCB game play on muscle damage and subsequent performance was also measured. Relative exercise intensity (REI) was significantly greater for the high classification group (U = 0, p = 0.05) with the same cohort displaying a tendency to rate muscle soreness higher (U = 0.5, p = 0.07). WCB game play resulted in high but non-significant levels of muscle damage and decreases in post-game performance in both cohorts. This study highlighted wide variations within and between groups, suggesting that recovery interventions need to be modified to suit individual needs. Future research is needed to investigate interventions that are specific to the individual or group needs of high and low classification WCB players.

description: We demonstrate how the mixed dynamic form factor (MDFF) can be interpreted as a quadratic form. This makes it possible to use matrix diagonalization methods to reduce the number of terms that need to be taken into account when calculating the inelastic scattering of electrons in a crystal. It also leads in a natural way to a new basis that helps elucidate the underlying physics. The new method is applied to several cases to show its versatility. In particular, predictions are made for directly imaging atomic orbitals in crystals.

description: For small values of the gauge coupling constant, we compare the densities of the energy of the vacuum and of the order parameter, evaluated in the lattice Monte Carlo simulation and in the perturbative field theory at two loop (Minkowski). The continuum calculation allows a very good fit of the simulation results, away from the phase transition line. This confirms the conjecture that the lattice provides a regularization of the (nonrenormalizable) massive Yang-Mills and moreover it shows the physical meaning of the parameters used in the simulation.

description: We explore the weak lensing effect by line-of-sight halos and sub-halos with a mass of M < 10^7 solar mass in QSO-galaxy strong lens systems with quadruple images in a concordant LCDM universe. Using a polynomially fitted non-linear power spectrum P(k) obtained from N-body simulations that can resolve halos with a mass of M ~ 10^5 solar mass, or structures with a comoving wavenumber of k ~ 3*10^2 h/Mpc, we find that the ratio of magnification perturbation due to intervening halos to that of a primary lens is typically ~10 per cent and the predicted values agree well with the estimated values for 6 observed QSO-galaxy lens systems with quadruple images in the mid-infrared band without considering the effects of substructures inside a primary lens. We also find that the estimated amplitudes of convergence perturbation for the 6 lenses increase with the source redshift as predicted by theoretical models. Using an extrapolated matter power spectrum, we demonstrate that small halos or sub-halos in the line-of-sight with a mass of M=10^3-10^7 solar mass, or structures with a comoving wavenumber of k=3*10^2-10^4 h/Mpc can significantly affect the magnification ratios of the lensed images. Flux ratio anomalies in QSO-galaxy strong lens systems offer us a unique probe into clustering property of mini-halos with a mass of M < 10^6 solar mass.

description: Government funding targeted at the economic development of remote Aboriginal communities in northern Canada has historically taken a narrow view of accountability. While traditional financial reporting obligations invariably fall on recipients of government funding, this process gives little thought to broader notions of reciprocal accountability and the views of both providers and recipients of funding. The present study used a combination of constructivist Grounded Theory and Aboriginal methodologies in interviews primarily with funding recipients and providers to draw on participants’ (n=34) local knowledge of the socio-cultural factors influencing economic development in Fort Liard, Northwest Territories, Canada. The results of this study demonstrate accountability processes based solely on financial reporting do not adequately reflect the complex social, cultural, economic and environmental outcomes that emerge from government-funded projects. A holistic approach to economic development accountability is needed to properly assess and measure the impacts of government funding in remote Aboriginal communities.

description: We present an exact plane wave solution of the most general shift-symmetric Horndeski (generalized Galileon) theory. The solution consists of the scalar part, and the gravitational part with two polarization modes. The former is due to the presence of the non-trivial Galileon scalar field, and it is parametrized by an arbitrary function of the light-cone coordinate. For a trivial scalar field configuration the solution is equivalent to the plane gravitational wave in General Relativity. When the metric is Minkowski, we reproduce known results for the plane waves of k-essence and a soliton-like solutions of a non-covariant Galileon model in a flat space-time.

description: This thesis examines the application of the techniques of Fourier spectrogram and wavelet analysis to a low power embedded microprocessor application in a novel railway and rollingstock monitoring system. The safe and cost effective operation of freight railways is limited by the dynamic performance of wagons running on track. A monitoring system has been proposed comprising of low cost wireless sensing devices, dubbed "Health Cards", to be installed on every wagon in the fleet. When marshalled into a train, the devices would sense accelerations and communicate via radio network to a master system in the locomotive. The integrated system would provide online information for decision support systems. Data throughput was heavily restricted by the network architecture, so significant signal analysis was required at the device level. An electronics engineering team at Central Queensland University developed a prototype Health Card, incorporating a 27MHz microcontroller and four dual axis accelerometers. A sensing arrangement and online analysis algorithms were required to detect and categorise dynamic events while operating within the constraints of the system. Time-frequency analysis reveals the time varying frequency content of signals, making it suitable to detect and characterise transient events. With efficient algorithms such as the Fast Fourier Transform, and Fast Wavelet Transform, time-frequency analysis methods can be implemented on a low power, embedded microcontroller. This thesis examines the application of time-frequency analysis techniques to wagon body acceleration signals, for the purpose of detecting poor dynamic performance of the wagon-track system. The Fourier spectrogram is implemented on the Health Card prototype and demonstrated in the laboratory. The research and algorithms provide a foundation for ongoing development as resources become available for system testing and validation.

description: The quantum size effect has a significant impact on electrons, such that it can even change their topologically protected properties. An example of this phenomenon is the gap opening in the topologically protected gapless surface state in finite-thickness topological-insulator films. However, much is not known about the quantum size effect in topological heterojunctions. In this study, by calculating the single-particle spectrum of Bi/Bi$_{1-x}$Sb$_{x}$ based on the well-known Liu-Allen model, we found that the strong quantum size effect in topological heterojunctions yields an unexpected band alignment. The wave functions permeate each other through the attached materials, and this occurs even in 80-nm-thick heterojunctions. Furthermore, we theoretically found that one of the two major spectra obtained from the Bi surface does not represent the true surface state of Bi. This finding may overturn the previous understanding of the topological surface state of Bi.

subject: Cultural geography

description: The concept of "urban sprawl" is one that features prominently in numerous debates in contemporary urbanisation - diverse issues such as pollution, traffic congestion, urban planning, infrastructure consumption, housing affordability, incursion into rural lands, spatial inequality and urban aesthetics - issues in which "sprawl" is often presented as playing a pivotal role. Such is the near-ubiquity of the concept it also often poses as a cause or consequence of numerous indirect issues in urbanisation - such as taxation, obesity, national security and social capital. This apparent "vigour" of the concept across a broad body of research is the fundamental motivation for the work presented in this thesis. The starting point of the research is an engagement with the concept of "sprawl" itself. Observations of the literature suggest that its usage is highly conflicted and lacking in consensus - in stark contrast to the obvious certainty in which stances with respect to "urban sprawl" are often defended. In this thesis the response to the ill-defined nature of "sprawl" is based on four interrelated propositions.

description: "The aim of this research study is to develop an information sharing model as a financial management tool to help participants gain more accurate information of the Bangkok real estate industry in the residential housing sector and thus reduce financial risk. The rationale behind the research topic is that the past experience of the financial related property crisis continues to make many people worried about situations similar to the financial crisis being repeated again in the future. Therefore in order to manage and minimize the financial risk of impending crises, more accurate and adequate information for decision-making needs to be provided. This research employed a qualitative method including document reviews and face-to-face in depth interviews to investigate what significant indicators in the Bangkok residential market are required to develop an adequate information sharing model so as to provide significant information to alert the Bangkok real estate industry about financial risk in order to manage impending crises. This research project was conducted in the Bangkok area. The research used the in-depth interview method to gather data from the 20 participants who are specialists in the Bangkok real estate industry to provide comprehensive information from their professional experiences and to suggest the requirements of information in different aspects in their views. The findings of this research highlight that the location information is an outstanding indicator required for housing investment in the Bangkok area. The research findings also imply that the proper medium for providing the residential investment information is a website which should be linked to organizations involved and also linked to social media for sharing proposals between customers and providers. The research findings show that the critical indicators of housing investment are the key elements required for developing the residential information sharing model for providing the vital housing investment information in the Bangkok residential industry. This research recommended that the residential information sharing model is based on the key research findings for providing significant information about the housing investment in the Bangkok residential industry in order to manage impending crises."--Abstract.

description: Nonadiabatic unitary evolution with tailored time-dependent Hamiltonians can prepare systems of cold atomic gases with various desired properties. For a system of two one-dimensional quasicondensates coupled with a time-varying tunneling amplitude, we show that the optimal protocol, for maximizing any figure of merit in a given time, is bang-bang, i.e., the coupling alternates between only two values through a sequence of sudden quenches. Minimizing the energy of one of the quasicondensates with such nonadiabatic protocols, and then decoupling it at the end of the process, can result in effective cooling beyond the current state of the art. Our cooling method can be potentially applied to arbitrary systems through an integration of the experiment with simulated annealing computations.

description: We use the qualitative insight of a planar neuronal phase portrait to detect an excitability switch in arbitrary conductance-based models from a simple mathematical condition. The condition expresses a balance between ion channels that provide a negative feedback at resting potential (restorative channels) and those that provide a positive feedback at resting potential (regenerative channels). Geometrically, the condition imposes a transcritical bifurcation that rules the switch of excitability through the variation of a single physiological parameter. Our analysis of six different published conductance based models always finds the transcritical bifurcation and the associated switch in excitability, which suggests that the mathematical predictions have a physiological relevance and that a same regulatory mechanism is potentially involved in the excitability and signaling of many neurons.

description: Quantum key distribution over probabilistic quantum repeaters is addressed. We compare, under practical assumptions, two such schemes in terms of their secure key generation rates per quantum memory. The two schemes under investigation are the one proposed by Duan et al. in [Nat. 414, 413 (2001)] and that of Sangouard et al. in [Phys. Rev. A 76, 050301 (2007)]. We consider various sources of imperfection in both protocols, such as nonzero double-photon probabilities at the sources, dark counts in detectors, and inefficiencies in the channel, photodetectors and memories. We also consider memory decay and dephasing processes in our analysis. For the latter system, we determine the maximum value of the double-photon probability beyond which secretkey distillation is not possible. We also find the crossover distance beyond which the repeater schemes outperform the non-repeater ones. We finally compare the two protocols in terms of their achievable secret key generation rates at their optimal settings

description: Diese Arbeit untersucht den Einfluß der Temperatur auf den Gasaustausch zwischen Luft und Wasser im "rauhen Fall". Besonderes Augenmerk galt dabei der Temperaturabhängigkeit der für die Modelle und Empirie interessanten Gasaustausch-Parameter (Schubspannungsgeschwindigkeit, Wellenbild mit mittlerer-quadratischer-Neigung).

Die Messungen wurden am kleinen Wind-Wasser-Kanal des Institutes für Umweltphysik an der Universität Heidelberg durchgeführt. Gemessen wurde bei drei Temperaturen (3, 20, 35°C) im Bereich der Schubspannungsgeschwindigkeit U*wasser = 0.25 ... 2.1 cm/s. Zur Erfassung der Verhältnisse an der Wasseroberfläche wurden Neigungsfrequenzspektren aufgenommen. Aus den Spektren wurde die mittlere-quadratische-Neigung bestimmt und die Spektren selbst wurden auf Temperatureffekte untersucht.

Die Temperaturabhängigkeit des Gasaustausches läßt sich allein durch die temperaturabhängige Schmidtzahl beschreiben.

Die in den Gasaustauschmodellen als Parameter benutzte Schubspannungsgeschwindigkeit u*, erwies sich als temperaturunabhängig. Ebenso das Wellenbild bis in den Kapillarwellenbereich.

description: We investigate the equation of state (EoS) of the scalar-torsion mode in Poincaré gauge theory of gravity. We concentrate on two cases with the constant curvature solution and positive kinetic energy, respectively. In the former, we find that the torsion EoS has different values in the various stages of the universe. In particular, it behaves like the radiation (matter) EoS of $w_r=1/3$ ($w_m=0$) in the radiation (matter) dominant epoch, while in the late time the torsion density is supportive for the accelerating universe. In the latter, our numerical analysis shows that in general the EoS has an asymptotic behavior in the high redshift regime, while it could cross the phantom divide line in the low redshift regime.

description: The considerable mathematical knowledge encoded by the Flyspeck project is combined with external automated theorem provers (ATPs) and machine-learning premise selection methods trained on the proofs, producing an AI system capable of answering a wide range of mathematical queries automatically. The performance of this architecture is evaluated in a bootstrapping scenario emulating the development of Flyspeck from axioms to the last theorem, each time using only the previous theorems and proofs. It is shown that 39% of the 14185 theorems could be proved in a push-button mode (without any high-level advice and user interaction) in 30 seconds of real time on a fourteen-CPU workstation. The necessary work involves: (i) an implementation of sound translations of the HOL Light logic to ATP formalisms: untyped first-order, polymorphic typed first-order, and typed higher-order, (ii) export of the dependency information from HOL Light and ATP proofs for the machine learners, and (iii) choice of suitable representations and methods for learning from previous proofs, and their integration as advisors with HOL Light. This work is described and discussed here, and an initial analysis of the body of proofs that were found fully automatically is provided.

Subjects: classificationCode: 520402
subject: Decision making

description: "The planning phase of the meeting cycle has been described as being critical to the success of meetings, but is often neglected. The use of facilitators in group meetings has been shown to improve the effectiveness of meetings by providing structure and harnessing the group's strengths. However, there is a shortage of research about the knowledge used by facilitators when planning facilitated meetings."--Abstract
I Get By With a Little Help From My Friends: Examining the Development of Street Efficacy Among Urban Black Youth
Creators: name: Carroll, Margaret
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: street efficacy
subject: youth development
subject: race & racism
subject: Chicago Public Schools

description: Street efficacy, a young person’s belief in their ability to successfully avoid violence, is critical for growing up in an economically disadvantaged neighborhood. This “street” encompasses more than simply traveling to school, but also making friends or walking down the hallway at school. Existing theory explains that this process requires youth leverage their perceptions of risk as well as their fear of victimization in a social cognition process that creates strategies of risk avoidance. With these strategies, teenagers can alter their imposed environment into selected environments with safer role models, friends, locations and activities. Social cognition leverages not only perceived risk and fear of victimization, but also the social capital resources of family and friends. I examine how this process occurs in a sample of eight, Chicago-area high school seniors at CPS. I find that social capital can provide either (1) protective functions such as defense in a fight; or (2) directive resources, which can be categorized as either (a) conscious recommendations such as advice or (b) unconscious strategies that youth can pick up. Recognizing the influence of social capital resources on street efficacy is crucial, because it demonstrates that this risk-avoidance is contingent on factors that are oftentimes outside of a teenager’s control. Therefore, lapses in risk-avoidance should not be seen as a lack of street efficacy, but more often, are a result of this unpredictability of risk and the limited panel of selected environments possible for these youth.
Gamma Rays from Cosmic Rays in Supernova Remnants

description: Context: Cosmic rays are thought to be accelerated at supernova remnant (SNR) shocks, but conclusive evidence is lacking. Aims: New data from ground-based gamma-ray telescopes and the Large Area Telescope on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope are used to test this hypothesis. A simple model for gamma-ray production efficiency is compared with measured gamma-ray luminosities of SNRs, and the GeV to TeV fluxes ratios of SNRs are examined for correlations with SNR ages. Methods: The supernova explosion is modeled as an expanding spherical shell of material that sweeps up matter from the surrounding interstellar medium (ISM). The accumulated kinetic energy of the shell, which provides the energy available for nonthermal particle acceleration, changes when matter is swept up from the ISM and the SNR shell decelerates. A fraction of this energy is assumed to be converted into the energy of cosmic-ray electrons or protons. Three different particle radiation processes---nuclear pion-production interactions, nonthermal electron bremsstrahlung, and Compton scattering---are considered. Results: The efficiencies for gamma-ray production by these three processes are compared with gamma-ray luminosities of SNRs. Our results suggest that SNRs become less gamma-ray luminous at >~ 10^4 yr, and are consistent with the hypothesis that supernova remnants accelerate cosmic rays with an efficiency of ~10% for the dissipation of kinetic energy into nonthermal cosmic rays. Weak evidence for an increasing GeV to TeV flux ratio with SNR age is found.

Growing your own: Building research capability in higher education
Creators: name: Browning, Lynette
Publisher: name: CQUniversity
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 390201
subject: Education policy

description: There is increasing pressure on universities to perform equally well in teaching and research. In Australia there will be demand for research leaders over the next decade in what is already a highly competitive environment. Whilst existing research leaders can be ‘planted’, there is untold possibility for universities ‘growing their own’ research leaders. However, little is known about what a successful career path might look like, or how universities can develop their own, let alone what the situation is like for women. This study sought to answer these questions by examining how the careers of the current generation of research leaders have been shaped. The study involved semi-structured biographical interviews and content analysis of the track records of 30 senior research leaders and administrators from a range of organisations across Australia and identified seven factors that contributed to their success. Based on these findings, a comprehensive program was developed and implemented to assist early career researchers (ECRs) develop a focused research career plan and build their track records. This study also examined comparative staff data by gender in research positions in Australian universities. Women currently hold almost half of the academic research-only positions and a third of deputy vicechancellor (DVC) roles with responsibility for the research portfolio, while comprising less than a quarter of the professoriate, and appear to be clustered at the lower levels in research-only positions. For the majority of Australia’s academic staff, the key to a successful and ongoing career is to learn how to successfully balance teaching and research, and how to manage the expectations of both deans and students. Future career development programs for ECRs should therefore recognise that managing both of those roles is now the reality of the working lives of the majority of academic staff in Australian universities. That is, any focus on research or teaching development programs should not be at the expense of skills in the other sphere, especially when academics are subject to cycles of governmental and policy change. This study provides a fledgling, but solid, evidence base upon which universities can design strategies to attract, retain, develop, and promote researchers, a priority that universities wishing to remain competitive cannot afford to ignore. Despite identifying avenues for further research to evaluate and extend the research in this study, the findings suggest that ‘growing your own’ is a possibility. More importantly, the study identifies ways to make growing the best a probability.
