description: The Atacama Large Millimeter-submillimeter Array (ALMA) radio telescope has commenced science observations of the Sun starting in late 2016. Since the Sun is much larger than the field of view of individual ALMA dishes, the ALMA interferometer is unable to measure the background level of solar emission when observing the solar disk. The absolute temperature scale is a critical measurement for much of ALMA solar science, including the understanding of energy transfer through the solar atmosphere, the properties of prominences, and the study of shock heating in the chromosphere. In order to provide an absolute temperature scale, ALMA solar observing will take advantage of the remarkable fast-scanning capabilities of the ALMA 12m dishes to make single-dish maps of the full Sun. This article reports on the results of an extensive commissioning effort to optimize the mapping procedure, and it describes the nature of the resulting data. Amplitude calibration is discussed in detail: a path that utilizes the two loads in the ALMA calibration system as well as sky measurements is described and applied to commissioning data. Inspection of a large number of single-dish datasets shows significant variation in the resulting temperatures, and based on the temperature distributions we derive quiet-Sun values at disk center of 7300 K at lambda=3 mm and 5900 K at lambda=1.3 mm. These values have statistical uncertainties of order 100 K, but systematic uncertainties in the temperature scale that may be significantly larger. Example images are presented from two periods with very different levels of solar activity. At a resolution of order 25 arcsec, the 1.3 mm wavelength images show temperatures on the disk that vary over about a 2000 K range.

Neither just nor kingly: defensive responses in Sasanian historiography
Creators: name: O'Farrell, Matthew
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The Sasanian historical tradition, the so-called Khwadāy-nāmag or “Book of Lords” forms the basis of Islamic historiography of the Sasanian era as well as Ferdowsi’s Šāhnāmeh, Iran’s national epic. No primary work of this tradition is extant and it is retrievable only by its redactions in much later works. Examination of these has led to a characterization of the lost original texts as a sixth century formulation of a “national” history based on a royal chronicle with ancient religious and mythic beliefs codified into a fictional deep history servicing the needs of the Sasanian dynasty. The second hand, retrospective and mythic character of the tradition however, has made historians understandably wary of engaging with it as a source for the Sasanian period. This is particularly true of the early Sasanians whose short, formulaic reigns are both unhelpful and suggestive of an enormous loss (or suppression) of historical information between the dynasty’s foundation and the compilation of the parent texts of the tradition. This amnesia does, however, highlight the modular and episodic structure of the tradition. Importantly, it also raises questions as to the reasons for their presence. In light of the changing views of the nature of the Sasanian state, particular episodes attached to this early period deserve a more intensive reading. A comparison between contradictory internal traditions regarding particular events as well as their record in the empire’s other literatures, suggests the development of a Sasanian historiography took place in a competitive and defensive context. Its compilers, intent on preserving a constructed elite identity, answered aristocratic and religious critiques directly; incorporating their features and using the poorly remembered past as a convenient canvas on which to reshape them.

description: The first hint of the neutrino mass hierarchy is believed to come from the long-baseline experiment NO$ν$A. Recent results from the NO$ν$A shows a mild preference towards the CP phase $δ_{13} = -90^\circ$ and normal hierarchy. Fortunately this is the favorable area of the parameter space which does not suffer from the hierarchy-$δ_{13}$ degeneracy and thus NO$ν$A can have good hierarchy sensitivity for this true combination of hierarchy and $δ_{13}$. Apart from the hierarchy-$δ_{13}$ degeneracy there is also the octant-$δ_{13}$ degeneracy. But this does not affect the favorable parameter space of NO$ν$A as this degeneracy can be resolved with a balanced neutrino and antineutrino run. However, ff we consider the existence of a light sterile neutrino then there may be additional degeneracies which can spoil the hierarchy sensitivity of NO$ν$A even in the favorable parameter space. In the present work we find that apart from the degeneracies mentioned above, there are additional hierarchy and octant degeneracies that appear with the new phase $δ_{14}$ in the presence of a light sterile neutrino in the eV scale. In contrast to the hierarchy and octant degeneracies appearing with $δ_{13}$, the parameter space for hierarchy-$δ_{14}$ degeneracy is different in neutrinos and antineutrinos though the octant-$δ_{14}$ degeneracy behaves similarly in neutrinos and antineutrinos. We study the effect of these degeneracies on the hierarchy sensitivity of NO$ν$A for the true normal hierarchy.

description: A simulation model of electrical percolation through a three-dimensional network of curved CNTs is developed in order to analyze the electromechanical properties of a highly stretchable fiber strain sensor made of a CNT/polymer composite. Rigid-body movement of the curved CNTs within the polymer matrix is described analytically. Random arrangements of CNTs within the composite are generated by a Monte-Carlo simulation method and a union-find algorithm is utilized to investigate the network percolation. Consequently, the strain-induced resistance change curves are obtained in a wide strain range of the composite. In order to compare our model with experimental results, two CNT/polymer composite fibers were fabricated and tested as strain sensors. Their effective CNT volume fractions are estimated by comparing the experimental data with our simulation model. The results confirm that the proposed simulation model reproduces well the experimental data and is useful for predicting and optimizing the electromechanical characteristics of highly stretchable fiber strain sensors based on CNT/polymer composites.

description: This study reviews the cases of income sources diversification in developing countries and concluded with empirical evidence from Edo state, Nigeria. It shows that non farm income as share of total income in Africa and Latin Amer- ica was 43%, while it was 51% for Asia. The empirical evidence from Edo state in Nigeria indicates that 46% of the people have a well diversified portfo- lio. The evidence from Edo state shows that the major sources of income in Edo state are wages and salary (33%), rent from assets (33%), sales of farm produce (14%) and trading (7%). It also indicates that income increases with level of education, with Junior Secondary school education being the lowest and First degree being the highest. The empirical evidence also indicates gen- erally that income increases with increase in number of income sources and five income sources being the optimum that gives the highest mean income. The regression analysis shows that income sources diversification, education and location are positive and significant determinants of income, while gender has non-significant relationship with income in Edo state. These findings sug- gest that the increase in opportunity for people to diversify their income base will increase their household income. Those opportunities were recommended in this paper.

description: Plasmonic biosensing has emerged as the most sensitive label-free technique to detect various molecular species in solutions and has already proved crucial in drug discovery, food safety and studies of bio-reactions. This technique relies on surface plasmon resonances in ~50 nm metallic films and the possibility to functionalize the surface of the metal in order to achieve selectivity. At the same time, most metals corrode in bio-solutions, which reduces the quality factor and darkness of plasmonic resonances and thus the sensitivity. Furthermore, functionalization itself might have a detrimental effect on the quality of the surface, also reducing sensitivity. Here we demonstrate that the use of graphene and other layered materials for passivation and functionalization broadens the range of metals which can be used for plasmonic biosensing and increases the sensitivity by 3-4 orders of magnitude, as it guarantees stability of a metal in liquid and preserves the plasmonic resonances under biofunctionalization. We use this approach to detect low molecular weight HT-2 toxins (crucial for food safety), achieving phase sensitivity~0.5 fg/mL, three orders of magnitude higher than previously reported. This proves that layered materials provide a new platform for surface plasmon resonance biosensing, paving the way for compact biosensors for point of care testing.

description: The local independence assumption states that variables are unrelated after conditioning on a latent variable. Common problems that arise from violations of this assumption include model misspecification, biased model parameters, and inaccurate estimates of internal structure. These problems are not limited to latent variable models but also apply to network psychometrics. This paper proposes a novel network psychometric approach to detect locally dependent pairs of variables using network modeling and a graph theory measure called weighted topological overlap (wTO). Using simulation, this approach is compared to contemporary local dependence detection methods such as exploratory structural equation modeling with standardized expected parameter change and a recently developed approach using partial correlations and a resampling procedure. Different approaches to determine local dependence using statistical significance and cut-off values are also compared. Continuous, polytomous (5-point Likert scale), and dichotomous (binary) data were generated with skew across a variety of conditions. Our results indicate that cut-off values work better than significance approaches. Overall, the network psychometrics approaches using wTO with graphical least absolute shrinkage and selector operator with extended Bayesian information criterion and wTO with Bayesian Gaussian graphical model were the best performing local dependence detection methods overall.

description: Timber is the only widely used construction material we can grow. The wood from which it comes has evolved to provide structural support for the tree and to act as a conduit for fluid flow. These flow paths are crucial for engineers to exploit the full potential of timber, by allowing impregnation with liquids that modify the properties or resilience of this natural material. Accurately predicting the transport of these liquids enables more efficient industrial timber treatment processes to be developed, thereby extending the scope to use this sustainable construction material; moreover, it is of fundamental scientific value - as a fluid flow within a natural porous medium. Both structural and transport properties of wood depend on its micro-structure but, while a substantial body of research relates the structural performance of wood to its detailed architecture, no such knowledge exists for the transport properties. We present a model, based on increasingly refined geometric parameters, that accurately predicts the time-dependent ingress of liquids within softwood timber, thereby addressing this long-standing scientific challenge. Moreover, we show that for the minimalistic parameterisation the model predicts ingress with a square-root-of-time behaviour. However, experimental data show a potentially significant departure from this [Formula: see text] behaviour - a departure which is successfully predicted by our more advanced parametrisation. Our parameterisation of the timber microstructure was informed by computed tomographic measurements; model predictions were validated by comparison with experimental data. We show that accurate predictions require statistical representation of the variability in the timber pore space. The collapse of our dimensionless experimental data demonstrates clear potential for our results to be up-scaled to industrial treatment processes.

description: We study the persistence and extinction of species in a simple food chain that is modelled by a Lotka-Volterra system with environmental stochasticity. There exist sharp results for deterministic Lotka-Volterra systems in the literature but few for their stochastic counterparts. The food chain we analyze consists of one prey and $n-1$ predators. The $j$th predator eats the $j-1$th species and is eaten by the $j+1$th predator; this way each species only interacts with at most two other species - the ones that are immediately above or below it in the trophic chain. We show that one can classify, based on an explicit quantity depending on the interaction coefficients of the system, which species go extinct and which converge to their unique invariant probability measure. Our work can be seen as a natural extension of the deterministic results of Gard and Hallam '79 to a stochastic setting. As one consequence we show that environmental stochasticity makes species more likely to go extinct. However, if the environmental fluctuations are small, persistence in the deterministic setting is preserved in the stochastic system. Our analysis also shows that the addition of a new apex predator makes, as expected, the different species more prone to extinction. Another novelty of our analysis is the fact that we can describe the behavior the system when the noise is degenerate. This is relevant because of the possibility of strong correlations between the effects of the environment on the different species.

description: There is now overwhelming scientific evidence that the earth is warming and its consequence is significant for countries with limited human, institutional and financial capacity to adapt to and cope with change. Africa hit hardest by global warming despite contributing very little to global climate change. Given the limited human and capital resources, many countries in Africa have been making efforts to cope with climate change; however, integrated and sustainable measures should be taken by developed nations and international organisations to help Africa mitigate the effects of global warming. Though the Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is to help developing countries to achieve sustainable development by allowing developed countries invest in climate mitigation projects in developing countries, Africa is currently getting a meagre share as countries like China, India and Brazil gain strong competitive advantage.

description: The focus of this paper is the derivation of a non-standard model for microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) that includes the interfacial area (IFA) between the oil and water. We consider the continuity equations for water and oil, a balance equation for the oil-water interface and advective-dispersive transport equations for bacteria, nutrients and surfactants. Surfactants lower the interfacial tension (IFT), which improves the oil recovery. Therefore, we include in the model parameterizations of the IFT reduction and residual oil saturation as a function of the surfactant concentration. We consider for the first time in context of MEOR, the role of IFA in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). The motivation to include the IFA in the model is to reduce the hysteresis in the capillary pressure relationship, include the effects of observed bacteria migration towards the oil-water interface and biological production of surfactants at the oil-water interface. An efficient and robust linearization scheme was implemented, in which we use an implicit scheme that considers a linear approximation of the capillary pressure gradient, resulting in an efficient and stable scheme. A comprehensive, 2D implementation based on two-point flux approximation (TPFA) has been achieved. Illustrative numerical simulations are presented. We give an explanation of the differences in the oil recovery profiles obtained when we consider the IFA and MEOR effects. The model can also be used to design new experiments in order to gain a better understanding and optimization of MEOR.

Indigenous Australian experiences of sex work: stories of agency, autonomy and self-determination

Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The lived experiences of Indigenous Australian sex workers are largely unknown. Through qualitative semi-structured interviews with seven Indigenous sex workers and two health/support workers, this thesis shares stories of the ways in which Indigenous Australian sex workers negotiate their everyday lives, as well as their cultural, gender and sexual identities. The thesis finds that Indigenous Australian sex workers work in the sex industry for financial reasons, mainly to achieve economic independence and to support their lifestyles. They reported predominantly positive experiences of working in the sex industry, with negative experiences related to cultural rejection and loss. This thesis is an exploration of Indigenous Australian sex workers lives and experiences through an Indigenous Standpoint Theoretical lens that draws forward new empirical knowledge about the way in which Indigenous sexuality and gender expression is understood. It sits within geographic and sexuality studies, as well as Indigenous studies. Importantly, the research is sex positive given its emphasis on themes of sex, sexuality and gender, and promotes the multiplicity of Indigenous genders and sexualities, and advocates for the recognition of diversity within Indigenous Australian communities. It is primarily an empirical engagement seeking meaning and understanding in broader social/cultural/political contexts and is firmly rooted in the voices of the participants. The research is warranted due to the insufficient social science research on Indigenous Australian sexualities and genders more broadly. The research in part addresses this significant gap in the research literature on Indigenous sex workers, as well as Indigenous Australian perspectives of sexuality and gender, by providing counter narratives to colonio-centric heteronormative perspectives that have been applied in past research with Indigenous peoples
South Africa economic policy: Are we moving towards a welfare state?

description: It has been 13 years since the dawn of democracy in South Africa. Though the country can boast progress on several fronts since 1994, including improved economic performance, a healthier fiscal position and improved delivery of houses, electricity, water and sanitation, it still faces significant discrepancies in the allocation of income, wealth and skills. In addition, poverty and unemployment levels among Blacks, females and those living in rural and ex-homeland areas are very high irrespective of the benchmark used. Service delivery by some local authorities also remains problematic. Since 1994 the government has implemented a wide range of policies to address these challenges. This paper shows that policy developments in South Africa since 1994 can be divided into two phases. The first is the period 1994- 99 that focused on the stabilisation of the economy and the eradication of the fiscal chaos that the new government inherited from its predecessor. The second phase is the still ongoing period that started in 2000. This period saw the significant expansion of the social welfare system. Comparing the two periods, the paper also shows that the economic views of government in the first phase was much more conservative and in line with what the IMF, foreign investors and rating agencies saw as prudent policy. The second phase sees a less conservative stance on issues such as privatisation, the role of human development in growth, as well as the provision of social welfare. The paper considers and contrasts these two phases to consider in what direction policy might be moving and might need to be moving in future.

The model contains both the scalar and vector diquarks with the light front wave functions modeled from the soft-wall AdS/QCD prediction. The $x-p^2_\perp$ factorization used in phenomenological extraction for TMDs is observed in this model. We present the results for the quark densities and the transverse shape of proton. The shape of the transversely polarized proton is shown to be non-spherical for nonzero transverse momentum. The scale evolution of both integrated and unintegrated TMDs are also presented in this paper.

description: Infections with Giardia are among the most common causes of food and water-borne diarrheal disease worldwide. Here, we investigated Th17, Treg and IgA responses, and alterations in gut microbiota in two mouse lines with varying susceptibility to Giardia muris infection. Infected BALB/c mice shed significantly more cysts compared with C57BL/6 mice. Impaired control of infection in BALB/c mice was associated with lower Th17 activity and lower IgA levels compared with C57BL/6 mice. The limited metabolic activity, proliferation and cytokine production of Th17 cells in BALB/c mice was associated with higher proportions of intestinal Foxp3+RORγt+ regulatory T cells and BALB/c mice developed increased RORγt+ Treg:Th17 ratios in response to G. muris infection. Furthermore, G. muris colonization led to a significantly reduced evenness in the gut microbial communities of BALB/c mice. Our data indicate that differential susceptibility to Giardia infections may be related to RORγt+ Treg controlling Th17 activity and that changes in the microbiota composition upon Giardia infection partially depend on the host background.

description: Introduction:In healthcare, change is usually detected by statistical techniques comparing outcomes before and after an intervention. A common problem faced by researchers is distinguishing change due to secular trends from change due to an intervention. Interrupted time-series analysis has been shown to be effective in describing trends in retrospective time-series and in detecting change, but methods are often biased towards the point of the intervention. Binary outcomes are typically modelled by logistic regression where the log-odds of the binary event is expressed as a function of covariates such as time, making model parameters difficult to interpret. The aim of this study was to present a technique that directly models the probability of binary events to describe change patterns using linear sections. Methods:We describe a modelling method that fits progressively more complex linear sections to the time-series of binary variables. Model fitting uses maximum likelihood optimisation and models are compared for goodness of fit using Akaike's Information Criterion. The best model describes the most likely change scenario. We applied this modelling technique to evaluate hip fracture patient mortality rate for a total of 2777 patients over a 6-year period, before and after the introduction of a dedicated hip fracture unit (HFU) at a Level 1, Major Trauma Centre. Results:The proposed modelling technique revealed time-dependent trends that explained how the implementation of the HFU influenced mortality rate in patients sustaining proximal femoral fragility fractures. The technique allowed modelling of the entire time-series without bias to the point of intervention. Modelling the binary variable of interest directly, as opposed to a transformed variable, improved the interpretability of the results. Conclusion:The proposed segmented linear regression modelling technique using maximum likelihood estimation can be employed to effectively detect trends in time-series of binary variables in retrospective studies.

description: A number of authorities were transformed in the late antique successor kingdoms of Gaul. The Christian community, Church councils and affairs including episcopal appointments were areas where there was an opportunity for the new kings to participate and to develop their own influence. The connection between the episcopal appointments and a bishop's authority and legitimacy was elementary, however it has not been considered in this period. Therefore the foundational terminology and procedures for episcopal appointments and their connections to the bishop's overall authority and legitimacy are the focus of this thesis. The aims are to examine how the procedures for ecclesiastical appointments were developed through their earliest traditions from other religions and from the Roman institutions. Following a review of the current scholarship and a discussion on the sources, the thesis examines the earliest terminology for leadership appointment in the first Church councils and early Christian writers, followed by a study of the Gallic church councils their role and function in the new successor kingdoms of the Franks, Burgundians and other barbarian dominated areas. The next three chapters analyse the council texts for the terminology of the reference to ordination, election or consecration and compare them to the accounts of such procedures in the other genres. The penultimate chapter considers the ecclesiastical appointments of a family of bishops in the first hundred years of the Frankish period.

description: We study structural and chemical transformations induced by focused laser beam in GaAs nanowires with axial zinc-blende/wurtzite (ZB/WZ) heterostucture. The experiments are performed using a combination of transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Raman scattering, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. For the both components of heterostructure, laser irradiation under atmospheric air is found to produce a double surface layer which is composed of crystalline arsenic and of amorphous GaO$_{x}$. The latter compound is responsible for appearance of a peak at 1.76 eV in photoluminescence spectra of GaAs nanowires. Under increased laser power density, due to sample heating, evaporation of the surface crystalline arsenic and formation of $β$-Ga$_{2}$O$_{3}$ nanocrystals proceed on surface of the zinc-blende part of nanowire. The formed nanocrystals reveal a photoluminescence band in visible range of 1.7-2.4 eV. At the same power density for wurtzite part of the nanowire, total amorphization with formation of $β$-Ga$_{2}$O$_{3}$ nanocrystals occurs. Observed transformation of WZ-GaAs to $β$-Ga$_{2}$O$_{3}$ nanocrystals presents an available way for creation of axial and radial heterostuctures ZB-GaAs/$β$-Ga$_{2}$O$_{3}$ for optoelectronic and photonic applications.

description: We employ {\it ab-initio} fully-relativistic electronic structure calculations to study the stability of the Weyl points in the momentum space within the class of the half-metallic ferromagnetic full Heusler materials, by focusing on Co$_2$TiAl as a well-established prototype compound. Here we show that both the number of the Weyl points together with their $k$-space coordinates can be controlled by the orientation of the magnetization. This alternative degree of freedom, which is absent in other topological materials (e.g. in Weyl semimetals), introduces novel functionalities, specific for the class of half-metallic ferromagnets. Of special interest are Weyl points which are preserved irrespectively of any arbitrary rotation of the magnetization axis.
Scattering of an electronic wave packet by a one-dimensional electron-phonon-coupled structure

description: We investigate the scattering of an electron by phonons in a small structure between two one-dimensional tight-binding leads. This model mimics the quantum electron transport through atomic wires or molecular junctions coupled to metallic leads. The electron-phonon coupled structure is represented by the Holstein model. We observe permanent energy transfer from the electron to the phonon system (dissipation), transient self-trapping of the electron in the electron-phonon coupled structure (due to polaron formation and multiple reflections at the structure edges), and transmission resonances that depend strongly on the strength of the electron-phonon coupling and the adiabaticity ratio. A recently developed TEBD algorithm, optimized for bosonic degrees of freedom, is used to simulate the quantum dynamics of a wave packet launched against the electron-phonon coupled structure. Exact results are calculated for a single electron-phonon site using scattering theory and analytical approximations are obtained for limiting cases.

Digital image processing based on the residue number system

description: This thesis presents the design, optimisation and physical implementation of a two-dimensional (2D) discrete wavelet transform (DWT) image processor using the residue number system (RNS), and examines it against an initial processor designed based on existing binary models. The original contributions of the proposed design include a low-complexity hardware architecture of the RNS-based filter banks, optimised transposition units, and exploitation of the multi-voltage scheme to reduce the power consumption. Modular adders and multipliers of the RNS-based filter banks are simplified to save on hardware complexity, while modular arithmetic and 6-bit dyadic-fraction filter coefficients are applied to improve the system performance. The proposed design is synthesised with the Synopsys 90 nm Generic Library (SAED90nmEDK) using the Synopsys synthesis and implementation tools. The synthesis results show that the proposed RNS-based processor is 23% faster than the initial processor. Another noteworthy result is that the total area of the RNS-based processor is less than the total area in the initial binary processor. It confirms that using the proposed architecture for RNS-based filter banks has saved on the hardware complexity and the system area requirement. The proposed RNS-based processor is implemented using the multi-voltage (MV) low power design (LPD) scheme to improve the power performance of the proposed processor. The power synthesis results show that using the multi-voltage scheme reduces the total power of the proposed RNS-based design by up to 50%. The proposed residue arithmetic units are explained in details to illustrate the novelty of the proposed design.

description: Static and dynamic properties of vortices in a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate with Rashba spin-orbit coupling are investigated. The mass current around a vortex core in the plane-wave phase is found to be deformed by the spin-orbit coupling, and this makes the dynamics of the vortex pairs quite different from those in a scalar Bose-Einstein condensate. The velocity of a vortex-antivortex pair is much smaller than that without spin-orbit coupling, and there exist stationary states. Two vortices with the same circulation move away from each other or unite to form a stationary state.
