Surface Engineering in Heat-Transfer Applications

description: The purpose of this dissertation is to show the effectiveness of surface engineering (wettability patterning) in thermal management applications. The study is centered on redesigning an existing thermal-management system, the vapor chamber, using an innovative concept to improve its performance. The study was inspired by the tremendous potential of surface-energy patterning to provide a platform for harnessing surface-tension forces to transport fluids in a pumpless and rapid manner, which resulted in the development of a pattern combination that improves the condensation heat transfer of a metallic surface. The following steps were taken to accomplish this goal; initially, the conventional vapor-chamber heat-spreader was modified by replacing a portion of the totally wick-lined system (condenser) with a wickless and wettability patterned one, resulting in a hybrid vapor chamber. Furthermore, the hybrid vapor-chamber's capacity to serve as a passive thermal diode was demonstrated. Moreover, an attempt was made to completely reap the benefits of the wettability-patterning process by fabricating a quite effective wick-free vapor chamber. This system constitutes the first completely wick-free thermal-management apparatus. Additionally, femtosecond laser processing technology was applied on the wick-free system to develop a wickless and laser-fabricated vapor-chamber thermal diode, which takes advantage of the extreme limits of wettability. Finally, in order to further investigate the condensation phenomena that occur on the novel vapor-chamber's wickless and wettability-patterned condenser, a unique experimental setup was developed that focuses solely on steam dropwise condensation on metallic surfaces in an environment similar to the vapor chamber’s interior.

description: In the first part, we find a model for off- and on-target toxicity prediction in an extensive comparison of different molecular representations and neural network frameworks on five toxicity datasets.
For the Tox21 database, we present an overarching study comparing
various representations of molecules. We test molecular fingerprints,
graph convolutional neural networks, and SMILES-based representations. In addition, we are the first to evaluate both established as well as
state-of-the-art graph kernel techniques on the Tox21 benchmark dataset.
Since SMILES models overall yield the highest performance, we further examine the variants of this molecular inline notation. This is used to systematically investigate different SMILES flavors, e.g. by removing the
stereoinformation or adding bonds and hydrogen atoms explicitly. The
best molecular representation found is the augmented SMILES representation (ROC-AUC: 0.877 ± 0.004 for the Tox21 dataset from DeepChem
using a multiscale convolutional attention framework). In order to leverage model interpretability, neural attention mechanisms are employed
on the SMILES sequences. The resulting attention maps are validated
on a panel of known toxicophores.
In the second part, we employ the best toxicity models for each task
as reward functions in the conditional reinforcement learning framework PaccMannRL for better pharmacological properties. As a result, we
provide a list of generated molecules that are on the one hand predicted
to be efficacious and on the other hand predicted to be non-toxic or less
toxic (for specific targets/organs or in general).
Percolation transitions in two dimensions

description: We investigate bond- and site-percolation models on several two-dimensional lattices numerically, by means of transfer-matrix calculations and Monte Carlo simulations. The lattices include the square, triangular, honeycomb kagome and diced lattices with nearest-neighbor bonds, and the square lattice with nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor bonds. Results are presented for the bond-percolation thresholds of the kagome and diced lattices, and the site-percolation thresholds of the square, honeycomb and diced lattices. We also include the bond- and site-percolation thresholds for the square lattice with nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor bonds. We find that corrections to scaling behave according to the second temperature dimension $X_{t2}=4$ predicted by the Coulomb gas theory and the theory of conformal invariance. In several cases there is evidence for an additional term with the same exponent, but modified by a logarithmic factor. Only for the site-percolation problem on the triangular lattice such a logarithmic term appears to be small or absent. The amplitude of the power-law correction associated with $X_{t2}=4$ is found to be dependent on the orientation of the lattice with respect to the cylindrical geometry of the finite systems.

Molecular markers for abalone research
Creators: name: Evans, Bradley Scott
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The Haliotidae is a family of marine gastropod molluscs, of the Order Archaeogastropoda (Schremp 1981). The world-wide family consists of 56 currently described species from temperate and tropical waters of both hemispheres. Approximately 25 abalone species are currently harvested commercially from at least 15 countries, with many more taken by recreational fisherman. This thesis examines the utility of molecular genetic markers in abalone research, with particular emphasis to the Australian fishery and aquaculture industries. The development of microsatellite markers in temperate abalone, and their use in stock structure studies of abalone fisheries in Australia and South Africa are presented. Twenty-two microsatellite loci were isolated from a Haliotis rubra partial genomic library, and their conservation in 12 other Haliotis species is presented. A maximum of 15 of these markers were retained in the most closely related species, Haliotis conicopora, but the species status of this group is questioned. Only 3 of the microsatellite loci examined were retained in each of two North American species, Haliotis corrugata and H. fulgens. Methods for the detection of microsatellite loci in other species is also discussed. A study of genetic variability in H. rubra at eight microsatellite loci in seven Tasmanian, one Victorian and two New South Wales locations is presented. These locations represent both fine (5 km) and broad (> 500 km) scale separation, and reveal a mean He of 0.552, with significant genetic differentiation between Tasmanian samples and those from mainland Australia (F cT = 0.003; P < 0.0001). No significant differentiation was identified between Tasmanian samples, or between mainland samples. Significant departures from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were common, in all instances due to an excess of homozygotes. Evidence for the existence of null alleles at two loci is presented as a factor in the departures from He.

Shades of embodiment, unravelling the thread of life : an exploration of the sacred associated with death and dying in a historical and cultural context
Creators: name: Aedy, A
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: There are numerous variations in the ways of dying, and dealing with death and grief. The sheer universality of the experience produces the knowledge that we are all deeply connected and begs to question and define human nature and the human condition, which is universal across all cultures. Embodied in ritual or religious ceremonies of all ethnic groups, certain objects and materials are believed to contain a form of presence and, through mythology, spiritualism and symbolism, become metaphors of death and life itself. The project Shades of Embodiment materialises through a series of forms used to signify the body. The body is used because it houses consciousness and is the piece left behind when we die. The concept that the 'sacred' and the body are embedded together is reflected in materials and rituals, created and used in concurrence with the body. This concept provides the framework of this study. Various cultural beliefs are interpreted through making and communicated through the sculptural work which transforms meaning into materiality as well as transforming materiality into meaning, through the use of binaries such as temporary and permanent, routine and ritual, natural to man made materials and, ultimately, life and death. A wide variety of materials have been explored including paper, wax, hessian, plastic, cotton and mud, as well as aluminium, lead, pressed tin and dust. Experienced together en masse each body figure is brought into a presence all its own. Together they become physical emblems of life itself, vessels for living. As objects, they are personal relics that resonate with the passage through daily life. The scale of these figures echoes human embodiment: they are life size. They are like us in order to speak of our tenuous connection and disconnection with the thread of life, and to conjure uncomfortable associations with Freud's 'uncanny.' The placement of these body figures and the connections they manifest is reminiscent of catacombs, Egyptian mummies and the figures of Pompeii. The gallery space becomes a space between life and death, a psychological, private space. It is hoped that viewers leave their fear at the door and transcend their own dark space between. Religious faith may be lost for some, and yet presence may be felt through daily life, the places where a higher force should be. The installation, Shades of Embodiment reflects on this missing element in human experience.

description: Аннотация. В статье изучено происхождение идей казачьей самостийности, причины этого явления и распространенность этих идей среди Кубанского казачества. Прослежено использование этих идей врагами СССР в годы Великой Отечественной войны. Сделан вывод, что Запорожское казачество и преемственное ему Кубанское, вследствие особенностей географического положения и политических условий, в которых они формировались, позволило отдельным их лидерам позиционировать себя как духовно близкую, но все же противопоставляющую себя России силу. Игнорирование этого вопроса имперскими властями привело к формированию в XIX веке идей «казачьей самостийности», нашедших отклик среди многих жителей Кубани и Дона в годы Гражданской и Великой Отечественной войн. Это позволило фашистким захватчикам вербовать среди представителей этой группы, сочувствующих посредством обещаний создания «свободной» Казакии.  

Abstract. The article examines the origin of the ideas of Cossack independence, the reasons for this phenomenon and the prevalence of these ideas among the Kuban Cossacks. The use of these ideas by the enemies of the USSR during the Great Patriotic War is traced. It is concluded that the Zaporizhian Cossacks and their successor, the Kuban Cossacks, due to the peculiarities of their geographical location and political conditions in which they were formed, allowed some of their leaders to position themselves as a force spiritually close to, but still opposing, Russia. Ignoring this issue by the imperial authorities led to the formation of the ideas of "Cossack independence" in the 19th century, which found a response among many residents of Kuban and the Don during the Civil and Great Patriotic Wars. This allowed the fascist invaders to recruit sympathizers from among the representatives of this group through promises of creating a "free" Cossackia.

description: We show that a 2+1 dimensional discrete surface growth model exhibiting Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) class scaling can be mapped onto a two dimensional conserved lattice gas model of directed dimers. In case of KPZ height anisotropy the dimers follow driven diffusive motion. We confirm by numerical simulations that the scaling exponents of the dimer model are in agreement with those of the 2+1 dimensional KPZ class. This opens up the possibility of analyzing growth models via reaction-diffusion models, which allow much more efficient computer simulations.

description: In recent years, both long-read sequencing and metagenomic analysis have been significantly advanced. Although long-read sequencing technologies have been primarily used for de novo genome assembly, they are rapidly maturing for widespread use in other applications. In particular, long reads could potentially lead to more precise taxonomic identification which has sparked an interest in using them for metagenomic analysis.
Here we present a benchmark of several tools for metagenomic taxonomic classification, tested on in-silico datasets that were constructed using real long reads from isolate sequencing. We compared tools that were either newly developed for or modified to work with long reads, including Kraken, Centrifuge, CLARK, MetaMaps and MEGAN-LR. The test datasets were constructed with varying numbers of bacterial and eukaryotic genomes, to simulate different metagenomic applications. The tools were tested on their ability to accurately detect species and precisely estimate species abundances in the samples.
Our analysis showed that all tested classifiers provide useful results, and that accuracy was strongly influenced by the comprehensiveness of the default database used. Using the same database for all tools provided comparable results across methods except for MetaMaps which had slightly better performance, but was slower than k-mer based tools.

title: Hearing Forster: E. M. Forster and the politics of music
Creators: name: Tsai, Tsung-Han
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2013

description: This thesis explores E. M. Forster’s interest in the politics of music, illustrating the importance of music to Forster’s conceptions of personal relationships and imperialism, national character and literary influence, pacifism and heroism, class and amateurism. Discussing Forster’s novels, short stories, essays, lectures, letters, diaries, and broadcast talks, the thesis looks into the political nuances in Forster’s numerous allusions and references to musical composition, performance, and consumption. In so doing, the thesis challenges previous formalistic studies of Forster’s representations of music by highlighting his attention to the contentious relations between music and political contingencies. The first chapter examines A Passage to India, considering Forster’s depictions of music in relation to the novel’s concern with friendship and imperialism. It explores the ways in which music functions politically in Forster’s most ‘rhythmical’ novel. The second chapter focuses on Forster’s description of the performance of Lucia di Lammermoor in Where Angels Fear to Tread. Reading this highly crafted scene as Forster’s attempt to ‘modernize’ fictional narrative, it discusses Forster’s negotiation of national character and literary heritage. The third chapter assesses Forster’s Wagnerism, scrutinizing the conjunction between Forster’s rumination on heroism and his criticism of Siegfried. The chapter pays particular attention to Forster’s uncharacteristic silence on Wagner during and after the Second World War. The fourth chapter investigates Forster’s celebration of musical amateurism. By analysing his characterization of musical amateurs and professionals in ‘The Machine Stops’, Arctic Summer, and Maurice, the chapter discusses the gender and class politics of Forster’s championing of freedom and idiosyncrasy.
The adventurous travels of a disobedient reader : a reading practice for the fiction of W.G. Sebald
Creators: name: Blackler, Deane Pamela Ann
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis traces an exploratory reading itinerary whose destination is a way of engaging with the prose fiction of W.G. Sebald (1944-2001). It reflects on the obedient reader as one who travels a straight path shepherded by the rhetoric of authority in a textual journey and considers the alternative paths of disobedience offered by Sebald's invitation to adventure in his four works of fiction. The appearance of a new writer of substance at the end of the twentieth century aroused considerable interest, not least because his fiction, written originally in German, announced a reception dilemma. The essence of this problematic lies in the destabilisation of the reader with the consequence that Sebald's fiction constructs what this thesis calls a disobedient reader. Made uncertain of the road ahead, this disobedient reader cannot surrender to the comfort of knowing that the journey has been mapped out for her in a way that enables her to trust the text. She must be ever on the alert, watchful for the unexpected and the unreliable by reading with a close attentiveness. This signals both her own capacity for disobedience and her preparedness to assume collaborative responsibility for the textual imaginary. Consequently this disobedient reader emerges as one who, from time to time, takes matters into her own hands, setting off on side-trips away from the decentred narrative authority of the Sebaldian text, expanding the reading itinerary in ways which cannot be contained by the journeys offered in each of the texts. The thesis identifies three facets of Sebald's practice which are deployed in the construction of a disobedient reader. These are his employment of a seemingly autobiographical narrator; his insertion of photographs into his prose; his drawing on a precisely indexed sense of place only to subvert it by constructing it as a textual space. According to the parameters of these domains the thesis considers the journey that each text offers to the reader by bringing to bear a watchful scrutiny which preserves the reader's interrogative and contestatory position free from the authority of the text. Finally I reflect on the notion that encouraging the reader's capacity for disobedience, affording contemplative and imaginative freedom, is part of Sebald's legacy to literature, offering the possibility of continuing travel into the unknown by means of a collaborative textual imaginary free of the discursive authority of any single voice.

description: The oxygen quenching effect in Linear Alkl Benzne (LAB) based liquid scintillator (LAB as the solvent, 3 g/L 2, 5 diphe-nyloxazole (PPO) as the fluor and 15 mg/L $p$-bis-($o$-methylstyryl)-benzene (bis-MSB) as the $λ$-shifter) is studied by measuring the light yield as the function of the nitrogen bubbling time. It is shown that the light yield of the fully purged liquid scintillator is increased by 11% at the room temperature and the room atmosphere pressure. A simple nitrogen bubbling model is proposed to describe the relationship between the relative light yield (oxygen quenching factor) and the bubbling time.

In this letter we present population synthesis models of Galactic black hole X-ray binaries, and study the probability density function of the misalignment angle, and its dependence on our model parameters. In our modeling, we also take into account the evolution of misalignment angle due to accretion of material onto the black hole during the X-ray binary phase. The major factor that sets the misalignment angle for X-ray binaries is the natal kick that the black hole may receive at its formation. However, large kicks tend to disrupt binaries, while small kicks allow the formation of XRBs and naturally select systems with small misalignment angles. Our calculations predict that the majority (>67%) of Galactic field BH XRBs have rather small (>10 degrees) misalignment angles, while some systems may reach misalignment angles as high as ~90 degrees and even higher. This results is robust among all population synthesis models. The assumption of small small misalignment angles is extensively used to observationally estimate black hole spin magnitudes, and for the first time we are able to confirm this assumption using detailed population synthesis calculations.

description: We present optical and mid-infrared photometry of a statistically complete sample of 29 very faint dwarf galaxies (M_r > -15 mag) selected from the SDSS spectroscopic sample and observed in the mid-infrared with Spitzer IRAC. This sample contains nearby (redshift z<0.005) galaxies three magnitudes fainter than previously studied samples. We compare our sample with other star-forming galaxies that have been observed with both IRAC and SDSS. We examine the relationship of the infrared color, sensitive to PAH abundance, with star-formation rates, gas-phase metallicities and radiation hardness, all estimated from optical emission lines. Consistent with studies of more luminous dwarfs, we find that the very faint dwarf galaxies show much weaker PAH emission than more luminous galaxies with similar specific star-formation rates. Unlike more luminous galaxies, we find that the very faint dwarf galaxies show no significant dependence at all of PAH emission on star-formation rate, metallicity, or radiation hardness, despite the fact that the sample spans a significant range in all of these quantities. When the very faint dwarfs in our sample are compared with more luminous (M_r ~ -18 mag) dwarfs, we find that PAH emission depends on metallicity and radiation hardness. These two parameters are correlated; we look at the PAH-metallicity relation at fixed radiation hardness and the PAH-hardness relation at fixed metallicity. This test shows that the PAH emission in dwarf galaxies depends most directly on metallicity.

description: While GCMs do simulate tropical cyclone-like vortex tracks in the southern Indian Ocean, they do not capture well those which make landfall in southern Africa. The feasibility of using a nested modelling system to produce seasonal tropical cyclone forecasts is examined, since improved horizontal resolution may potentially improve simulated cyclone tracks. As a first approach, a regional climate model is driven by time-dependent large-scale meteorological analyses for several domain configurations. Tropical cyclones across the southern Indian Ocean are likely to be significantly affected by the large-scale zonal flow. Therefore, the effects of model domain size and the positioning of its lateral boundaries on the simulation of tropical cyclone-like vortices and their tracks on a seasonal time scale are investigated. Four tropical cyclones are studied, which occurred in January of the years 1995 to 1997. Results show that the positioning of the eastern boundary of the regional model domain is of significant importance in the life cycle of simulated tropical cyclone-like vortices: a vortex entering through the eastern boundary of the regional model is generally well simulated. It is inferred from these results that the nested approach can potentially improve upon the frequency of landfalling tracks over southern Africa simulated by GCMs.

description: Using a parametric approach, we determine the configuration of super-AGB stars at the explosion as a function of the initial mass and metallicity, in order to verify if the EC-SN scenario involving a super-AGB star is compatible with the observations regarding SN2008ha and SN2008S. The results show that both the SNe can be explained in terms of EC-SNe from super-AGB progenitors having a different configuration at the collapse. The impact of these results on the interpretation of other sub-luminous SNe is also discussed.

Any bodies out there? : Educating the posthuman
Creators: name: Budd, YT
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This study investigates the relationship between literacy, information and communication technologies (ICT), and pedagogy. As literacy and ICT are currently promoted as key elements of educational reform (Knobel & Lankshear, 1997; O'Rourke, 2003) this research examines the effects of new literacies, which are developing around digital technologies (Lankshear & Knobel, 1998), on pre-service teachers' pedagogies. The research acknowledges the cultural and political context in which new technologies are embedded (Wajcman, 1991), and theorises the epistemological and ontological implications of new patterns of practice, purpose and production in education (Lankshear, Peters & Knobel, 2000). The thesis is informed by feminist, poststructuralist and posthuman theories, which problematise the presumed neutrality of language and technology, and provide a new lens through which issues of agency, identity, access and equity in education can be examined. A qualitative, combined methods approach, incorporating constructivist grounded theory (Charmaz 2000, 2006) and Foucauldian discourse analysis (Carabine, 2001; Foucault, 1972), examines how knowledge about new technologies for teaching and learning is produced and to what effect. Analysis focuses predominantly on preservice teachers' discussions of their experiences with computers in the classroom and their reflections on an ICT case study. The findings discuss the relationship between literacy, technology and pedagogy in terms of the ways in which ICT literacies in education establish new networks of power, which undermine pre-service teachers' efforts to develop critical and inclusive pedagogies. The thesis argues that new language practices around computer use signify epistemic shifts (Kress, 2000) that redefine concepts such as human potential and progress through a rewriting of the boundaries between bodies and technologies. Accordingly, the findings provide an account of the complex and contradictory teaching identities constructed at the nexus of contesting knowledge frameworks, as pre-service teachers find themselves accountable for the discrepancies between the ideals and realities of ICT in education.

description: We develop a general scheme for detecting spin correlations inside a two-component lattice gas of bosonic atoms, stimulated by the recent theoretical and experimental advances on analogous systems for a single component quantum gas. Within a linearized theory for the transmission spectra of the cavity mode field, different magnetic phases of a two-component (spin 1/2) lattice bosons become clearly distinguishable. In the Mott-insulating (MI) state with unit filling for the two-component lattice bosons, three different phases: antiferromagnetic, ferromagnetic, and the XY phases are found to be associated with drastically different cavity photon numbers. Our suggested study can be straightforwardly implemented with current cold atom experiments.

description: ENSO (El Nino-Southern Oscillation) has a large influence on tropical cyclone activity. The authors examine how different environmental factors contribute to this influence, using a genesis potential index developed by Emanuel and Nolan. Four factors contribute to the genesis potential index: low-level vorticity (850hPa), relative humidity at 600hPa, the magnitude of vertical wind shear from 850 to 200hPa and potential intensity (PI). Using monthly NCEP Reanalysis data in the period of 1950-2005, we calculate the genesis potential index on a latitude strip from 60°S to 60°N. Composite anomalies of the genesis potential index are produced for El Nino and La Nina years separately. These composites qualitatively replicate the observed interannual variations of the observed frequency and location of genesis in several different basins. This justifies producing composites of modified indices in which only one of the contributing factors varies, with the others set to climatology, to determine which among the factors are most important in causing interannual variations in genesis frequency. Specific factors that have more influence than others in different regions can be identified. For example, in El Nino years, relative humidity and vertical shear are important for the reduction in genesis seen in the Atlantic basin, and relative humidity and vorticity are important for the eastward shift in the mean genesis location in the western North Pacific.
