Sea pictures of a convent boarding school: Oral histories of teachers and students at St Ursula’s Yeppoon 1917-1997
Creators: name: Ganley, Maree
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2019

description: This thesis is a history of St Ursula’s Yeppoon, a Catholic boarding school on the central coast of Queensland that was established in 1917. The provision of adequate education in the scattered settlements of remote Queensland was low on the list of government priorities for the first hundred years of settlement in the colony and state secondary schools in those areas were not established until the 1960s, hence St Ursula’s played an important role in the education of girls in Queensland. The arrival in western central Queensland and eventually Yeppoon of a community of women religious known as the Presentation Sisters was a cultural clash in lifestyle, dress and curriculum for many children who had never seen nuns before and, in many cases, had not even been inside a classroom. Through interviews with eighty-five past staff and students of St Ursula’s, this thesis yields new perspectives on the complex interactions between gender, religion and class in the education of girls in religious institutions in remote Queensland through much of the twentieth century. The history’s main threads and themes of origin, leadership, formal education, culture and faith are viewed through the lens of personal memory as a multiplicity of experiences, perspectives, interpretations and subjectivities. This thesis employs the basic technique and the goals of oral history and incorporates oral history testimonies of a collection of stories and reminiscences of staff and students of St Ursula’s. This is in keeping with qualitative research methodology where there are multiple approaches as well as multiple types of oral history.1 The findings from this study challenge the widely held assumption that the teaching sisters were always complicit with the church’s view that a convent school education was ultimately a preparation for the role as a good Catholic wife and mother. In so doing, this thesis provides a richer and more nuanced account of the operation of the power and challenges facing religious educational institutions as they negotiated the rapid changes taking place in remote parts of Australia in the twentieth century. Its aim is to contribute to Australian educational history and to the history of secondary education in the vast remote regions of Queensland.
On the structure of the constraint algebra for systems whose gauge transformations depend on higher order time derivatives of the gauge parameters

description: The dynamical systems invariant under gauge transformations with higher order time derivatives of the gauge parameter are considered from the Hamiltonian point of view. We investigate the consequences of the basic requirements that the constraints on the one hand and the Hamiltonian and constraints on the other hand form two closed algebras. It is demonstrated that these simple algebraic requirements lead to rigid relations in the constraint algebra.

description: Heart failure is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In developing countries there is little evidence regarding the prognosis of this disease. For this reason, the present study aims to establish the most important causes of heart failure and determine survival based on its etiology in patients diagnosed with heart failure in a second-level Ecuadorian General Hospital. A retrospective, single-center, prevalence study was conducted in 284 outpatients, diagnosed with heart failure, during the years 2015-2020. The differences between the subgroups were statistically analyzed using ANOVA tests. Survival analysis was performed using the actuarial method and Cox regression. The main cause of heart failure was hypertensive (55.5%), followed by ischemic etiology (20.8%). Survival analysis showed that overall 5-year survival was 17%, with an average life time of 3.46 years. The main cause of heart failure among patients was hypertensive and the 5-year overall survival is lower than that reported in other studies.

description: The statefinder parameters ($r,s$) in two dark energy models are studied. In the first, we discuss in four-dimensional General Relativity a two fluid model, in which dark energy and dark matter are allowed to interact with each other. In the second model, we consider the DGP brane model generalized by taking a possible energy exchange between the brane and the bulk into account. We determine the values of the statefinder parameters that correspond to the unique attractor of the system at hand. Furthermore, we produce plots in which we show $s,r$ as functions of red-shift, and the ($s-r$) plane for each model.

description: Although the threshold network is one of the most used tools to characterize the underlying structure of a stock market, the identification of the optimal threshold to construct a reliable stock network remains challenging. In this paper, the concept of dynamic consistence between the threshold network and the stock market is proposed. The optimal threshold is estimated by maximizing the consistence function. The application of this procedure to stocks belonging to Standard \& Pool's 500 Index from January 2006 to December 2011 yields the threshold value 0.28. In analyzing topological characteristics of the generated network, three globally financial crises can be distinguished well from the evolutionary perspective.

description: We present methods for evaluating the Feynman parameter integrals associated with the pentagon diagram in 4-2 epsilon dimensions, along with explicit results for the integrals with all masses vanishing or with one non-vanishing external mass. The scalar pentagon integral can be expressed as a linear combination of box integrals, up to O(epsilon) corrections, a result which is the dimensionally-regulated version of a D=4 result of Melrose, and of van Neerven and Vermaseren. We obtain and solve differential equations for various dimensionally-regulated box integrals with massless internal lines, which appear in one-loop n-point calculations in QCD. We give a procedure for constructing the tensor pentagon integrals needed in gauge theory, again through O(epsilon^0).

The influence of magnetic field on the CNM mass fraction and its alignment with density structures

description: To contribute to the understanding of the magnetic field's influence on the segregation of CNM in the solar neighbourhood we analyse MHD simulations which include the main physical characteristics of the local neutral atomic ISM. The simulations have a continuous solenoidal Fourier forcing in a periodic box of 100 pc per side and an initial uniform magnetic field ($\vec{B_0}$) with intensities ranging between $\sim 0.4$ $μ$G and $\sim 8$ $μ$G. Our main results are: i) the CNM mass fraction diminishes with the increase in magnetic field intensity. ii) There is a preferred alignment between CNM structures and $\vec{B}$ in all our $B_0$ range but the preference weakens as $B_{0}$ increases. It is worth noticing that this preference is also present in two-dimensional projections making an extreme angle ($0$ or $π/ 2$) with respect to $\vec{B_0}$ and it is only lost for the strongest magnetic field when the angle of projection is perpendicular to $\vec{B_0}$. iii) The aforementioned results are prevalent despite the inclusion of self-gravity in our continuously forced simulations with a mean density similar to the average value of the solar neighbourhood. iv) Given a fixed $B_0$ and slightly higher mean densities, up to double, the effects of self-gravity are still not qualitatively significant.

description: Immigrants to the United States earn lower wages than native workers, and this gap decreases with time spent working in the US labor market. In this paper, we study the determinants of the wage path of immigrants in order to understand this wage gap between natives and immigrants. We focus on two particular explanations: differing returns to experience in the US and search frictions when finding optimal occupations. Labor market experience in the US may be more valuable for jobs in the US than labor market experience in other countries. In addition, it can take time for new immigrants to be matched with their optimal occupation after moving to the US. Separating these factors is difficult due to potential self-selection of immigrants. To deal with this, we use data from the New Immigrant Survey which has detailed information on the occupations and wages of immigrants both before they enter the US as well as repeated observations after moving to the US. Reduced form evidence shows that both search frictions and work experience affect immigrant wages. We develop and estimate a simple model of on-the-job human capital accumulation and job search. Using the estimated model, we simulate counterfactuals to understand the importance of each factor. In the first simulation, we find that immigrant wages over a lifetime increase by 32% when returns to experience in the home country are the same as returns to experience in the US. In the second simulation, we match immigrants with their optimal occupation in their first US job, and find that this increases wages by 5%.

description: In systems of multiple agents, identifying the cause of observed agent dynamics is challenging. Often, these agents operate in diverse, non-stationary environments, where models rely on hand-crafted environment-specific features to infer influential regions in the system's surroundings. To overcome the limitations of these inflexible models, we present GP-LAPLACE, a technique for locating sources and sinks from trajectories in time-varying fields. Using Gaussian processes, we jointly infer a spatio-temporal vector field, as well as canonical vector calculus operations on that field. Notably, we do this from only agent trajectories without requiring knowledge of the environment, and also obtain a metric for denoting the significance of inferred causal features in the environment by exploiting our probabilistic method. To evaluate our approach, we apply it to both synthetic and real-world GPS data, demonstrating the applicability of our technique in the presence of multiple agents, as well as its superiority over existing methods.

description: This study examines workers' reactions to t.he introduction of robots in a factory. The study focuses on understanding workers' psychological reactions to this new technology and to the manner in which it was introduced. Workers reported that both advantages (lower fatigue) and disadvantages (increased downtime) were associated with the introduction of the robot. Over time, worker s' beliefs about robots became more complex and pessimistic, Production operator's' jobs, as well as their interaction patterns with other production and support worker's changed with the introduction of the robot. Consequences of these changes for increases in job stress are examined. A set of strategies fer iintroducing robots in the factory is discussed.

description: The Four Fermi model with discrete chiral symmetry is studied in three dimensions at non-zero chemical potential and temperature using the Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm. The number of fermion flavors is chosen large $(N_f=12)$ to compare with analytic results. A first order chiral symmetry restoring transition is found at zero temperature with a critical chemical potential $μ_c$ in good agreement with the large $N_f$ calculations. The critical index $ν$ of the correlation length is measured in good agreement with analytic calculations. The two dimensional phase diagram (chemical potential vs. temperature) is mapped out quantitatively. Finite size effects on relatively small lattices and non-zero fermion mass effects are seen to smooth out the chiral transition dramatically.

description: The performance of ebullated bed hydroprocessors depends on the fluids distribution system and liquid recycle pan. Given that bubbles do not readily coalesce in the bed, the original bubble size distribution generated at the bubble cap distributor likely impacts buoyancy-based phase separation at the recycle pan. Gas entrained in the liquid recycle increases bed gas holdup at the expense of liquid holdup and product yield. The aim of this work was to investigate the impact of gas-liquid distribution system on resulting bubble properties and dynamics and incorporate a distributor sub-model into an existing fluid dynamics model of the industrial hydroprocessor. The size of initial bubbles formed in the plenum chamber was found to have negligible impact on phase holdups above the distributor. However, resulting bubble properties were found to depend on distributor geometry, distributor power dissipation and gas-liquid velocity ratio. In addition, a new set of scaling laws for gas-liquid distributors, based on dimensional analysis and similitude, was proposed. Geometric scaling was based on matching distributor fractional open area and ratios of critical dimensions. Dynamic similarity was based on matching three dimensionless groups and bubble coalescence behaviour. A bubble size distribution model was then developed. Both pressure and distributor were found to have an impact on individual bubble drag coefficients, as they both altered bubble size distribution. A novel drag model was thus also developed at industrially relevant conditions. Finally, a new gas-liquid distributor sub-model, including bubble size distribution and drag models previously developed, was incorporated into an overall fluid dynamics model of the hydroprocessor. The bubble size distribution model was also coupled with existing gas-liquid separation sub-model to better predict recycled gas and liquid fractions. A sensitivity analysis performed with the overall model revealed distributor configurations with potential of improving the processing capacity of the hydroprocessor.

description: When two stars collide and merge they form a new star that can stand out against the background population in a starcluster as a blue straggler. In so called collision runaways many stars can merge and may form a very massive star that eventually forms an intermediate mass blackhole. We have performed detailed evolution calculations of merger remnants from collisions between main sequence stars, both for lower mass stars and higher mass stars. These stars can be significantly brighter than ordinary stars of the same mass due to their increased helium abundance. Simplified treatments ignoring this effect give incorrect predictions for the collision product lifetime and evolution in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.

description: Governments have grown faster than the private sector in all countries where governments are chosen by the votes of the citizens in competitive elections with complete, or near universal, suffrage. This finding has been documented in many studies and for different time periods. Although the finding is sometimes questioned, I accept it as a fact and ask four questions. First, is the growing size of government a recent phenomenon? Second, is growth in the relative size of government increasing or decreasing?" Third, why does government grow faster than the private sector? Fourth, what could or should be done to slow the growth of government or, possibly, reduce the relative size of government.

Since the upper critical dimension of percolation is six, the measured critical indices are far from mean-field values.

description: Macroscopic nuggets of quark matter were proposed several decades ago as a candidate for dark matter. The formation of these objects in the early universe requires the QCD phase transition to be first order - a requirement that is not satisfied in the Standard Model where lattice simulations reveal a continuous crossover instead. In this article we point out that new physics may supercool the electroweak phase transition to below the QCD scale, and the QCD phase transition with six massless quarks becomes first-order. As a result, the quark nuggets composed of six-flavor quark matter (6FQM) may survive as a viable dark matter candidate. The size of a 6FQM nugget is estimated to be around $10^{10}$ grams in mass and $10^{-2}$ cm in radius. The calculated relic abundance of 6FQM nuggets is comparable to the observed dark matter energy density; therefore, this scenario provides a compelling explanation for the coincident energy densities of dark and baryonic matter. We have explored various potential signatures - including a gravitational wave background, gravitational lensing, and transient photon emission from collisions with compact stars and other nuggets - and demonstrated that the favored region of parameter space is still allowed by current constraints while discovery of 6FQM nugget dark matter may require new experimental probes.

description: The greenhouse effect will bring large climate changes, possibly a hostile environment, and social consequences that will range from business as usual to disaster. At present uncertainty dominates forecasts of both the climate change and derivative ecosystem and social consequences. Policy analysis must proceed in the midst of vast uncertainty, seeking programs that are unlikely to be harmful or costly if the greenhouse consequences are more benign than predicted and likely to help if the worst happens. The worst consequences are likely to occur to unmanaged ecosystems and to developing countries; in contrast, the industrial nations may experience only minor irritations, apart from the eventual rise in sea level.

Development of redox-active Pt2+–linked porphyrin nanocages and modulation of their host–guest properties
Creators: name: Dutton, Kaitlyn Grace
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Metal-organic cages are often targeted for applications in which it is useful to tune the encapsulation of guest molecules inside a nanoporous environment. Modulating uptake and release of cargo from a host-guest complex usually requires control over the thermodynamic forces that favor association, and this control is commonly attained via addition of an external stimulus to interrupt the favorability of the inclusion complex. However, the stimuli used to alter guest binding often employ harsh conditions (e.g., reducing or acidic conditions), so robust nanocages that can withstand these additives are of interest for investigating guest affinity. In this thesis, we present four related electroactive Pt2+-porphyrinic nanocages that differ primarily in the capping substituents at the linkers and structure types (M6L3 vs M4L2). The incorporation of additional electroactive sites into the linkers of one cage increased its stability to reducing conditions relative to the cages without added redox activity. The affinity for anions to bind to the hosts was investigated using cages that differ only by the size of the cavity or the hydrogen-bond-donation ability of the linkers. The affinity for a host to bind strongly- or weakly-associating guests could be swapped via an acid stimulus. Redox stimuli could be used to form thermodynamically unfavored cation-in-cation complexes with two hosts, where metallocene cations bind in the reduced hosts and become trapped (for weeks to months) upon reoxidation of the host. Redox stimuli could also be used to tune the pKa of benzoic acid guests encapsulated in the metallated versions of one host. The presence and oxidation state of Lewis acidic metal centers in the porphyrin walls of a cage gave rise to a pKa swing of 12 units for the bound benzoic acid guest. The last chapter details common misconceptions found in interpretations of Frost diagrams and introduces means to clarify confusion surrounding these diagrams.

PagP, a beta-barrel membrane protein found in Gram-negative bacteria, expresses robustly in inclusion bodies when its signal sequence is removed. We have developed a new fusion protein expression system based on PagP and demonstrated its utility in the expression of the unstructured N-terminal region of human cardiac troponin I (residues 1-71). A yield of 100 mg fusion protein per liter M9 minimal media was obtained. The troponin I fragment was removed from PagP using cyanogen bromide cleavage at methionine residues followed by nickel affinity chromatography. We further demonstrate that optimal cleavage requires complete reduction of methionine residues prior to cyanogen bromide treatment, and this is effectively accomplished using potassium iodide under acidic conditions. The PagP based fusion protein system is more effective at targeting proteins into inclusion bodies than a commercially available system that uses ketosteroid isomerase; it thus represents an important advance for producing large quantities of unfolded peptides or proteins in E. coli.

description: We study static, spherically symmetric black hole solutions of the Einstein equations with a positive cosmological constant and a conformally coupled self interacting scalar field. Exact solutions for this model found by Mart{\'ı}nez, Troncoso, and Zanelli, (MTZ), were subsequently shown to be unstable under linear perturbations, with modes that diverge arbitrarily fast. We find that the moduli space of static, spherically symmetric solutions that have a regular horizon -and satisfy the weak and dominant energy conditions outside the horizon- is a singular subset of a two dimensional space parameterized by the horizon radius and the value of the scalar field at the horizon. The singularity of this space of solutions provides an explanation for the instability of the MTZ spacetimes, and leads to the conclusion that, if we include stability as a criterion, there are no physically acceptable black hole solutions for this system that contain a cosmological horizon in the exterior of its event horizon.

description: On the twenty-fifth anniversary of the publication of Keynes' General Theory, the late Harry G. Johnson recognized the book's outstanding contribution to the way economists think about macroeconomics and its stimulus to research (Johnson, 1961). Nevertheless, he criticized the book for both its exposition and its many analytical flaws. He traced these flaws to the Marshallian tradition of literary exposition, errors or misunderstanding in Keynes9 thinking about capital, and his use of income as a measure of current receipts instead of the more classical measure of the flow available from a given stock of capital. Considering it a book on policy, which the General Theory surely is, Johnson gave Keynes credit for the importance that governments give to cyclical fluctuations in unemployment, but criticized him for the Mure of his followers to give much weight to inflation.
title: Sediment Interstitial Dissolved Mercury and Carbon Relationships in an Artificial and Natural Marsh, James River, Virginia

description: Thirty six sediment cores were collected during August, 1976 and January, 1977 in order to examine the relationships between dissolved organic carbon and total dissolved mercury in the interstitial water of two marshes located near Windmill Point, James River, 16 km downstream from Hopewell, Virginia. The Windmill Point marsh development site is a dredged material disposal island in the James River. The reference marsh which does not contain dredged material, is located 2.3 km upstream at Ducking Stool Point.

The concentrations of dissolved organic carbon and total dissolved mercury showed no significant difference between the two marshes. Trends in the concentration of dissolved mercury and dissolved organic carbon with depth were not apparent. Mercury concentrations in the winter were on the average 85 percent lower than those in the summer season, while dissolved organic carbon was reduced by 45 percent in the winter.

Multiple linear regression analysis showed no correlation between total dissolved mercury and dissolved organic carbon. The correlation improved when the number of variables used in the multiple linear regression was increased, suggesting that other parameters need to be examined such as sulfides, chlorides, and major cations. The levels of pH and redox potential were not significantly different throughout the study area and the two seasons. Considering only these four parameters, a marshland habitat can be developed from dredged material. Even though biological uptake was not tested during this research, mercury from the interstitial water and sediments could become hazardous to the biota when the material is distributed during dredging operations.
Natural Suppression of Higgsino-Mediated Proton Decay in Supersymmetric SO(10)

description: In supersymmetric Grand Unified Theories, proton decay mediated by the color--triplet higgsino is generally problematic and requires some fine--tuning of parameters. We present a mechanism which naturally suppresses such dimension 5 operators in the context of SUSY $SO(10)$. The mechanism, which implements natural doublet--triplet splitting using the adjoint higgs, converts these dimension 5 operators effectively into dimension 6. By explicitly computing the higgs spectrum and the resulting threshold uncertainties we show that the successful prediction of $\sin^2θ_W$ is maintained {\it as a prediction} in this scheme. It is argued that only a weak suppression of the higgsino mediated proton decay is achievable within SUSY $SU(5)$ without fine--tuning, in contrast to a strong suppression in SUSY $SO(10)$.

description: It is a privilege and an honor to participate in this very important retreat to discuss the Fund’s strategic direction. Management and directors of all institutions, private as well as public, have no more important duty than to decide periodically on answers to three questions. Where are we? Where are we trying to go? How can we get there from here? As a sometimes critic of international financial institutions, I am pleased to be asked to participate in trying to answer these questions, especially questions one and three. I accepted this invitation in the hope that we can conduct a dialogue about possible answers and their consequences including how we can get better arrangements that reduce risk, and if we can agree on what those arrangements are.
Microstructural constitutive model for polycrystal viscoplasticity in cold and warm regimes based on continuum dislocation dynamics

description: Viscoplastic flow of polycrystalline metallic materials is the result of motion and interaction of dislocations, line defects of the crystalline structure. In the microstructural (physics-based) constitutive model presented in this paper, the main underlying microstructural processes influencing viscoplastic deformation and mechanical properties of metals in cold and warm regimes are statistically described by the introduced sets of postulates/axioms for continuum dislocation dynamics (CDD). Three microstructural (internal) state variables (MSVs) are used for statistical quantifications of different types/species of dislocations by the notion of dislocation density. Considering the mobility property of dislocations, they are categorized to mobile and (relatively) immobile dislocations. Mobile dislocations carry the plastic strain (rate), while immobile dislocations contribute to plastic hardening. Moreover, with respect to their arrangement, dislocations are classified to cell and wall dislocations. Cell dislocations are those that exist inside cells/subgrains, and wall dislocations are packed in (and consequently formed) the subgrain walls/boundaries. Therefore, the MSVs incorporated in this model are cell mobile, cell immobile and wall immobile dislocation densities. The evolution of these internal variables is calculated by means of adequate equations that characterize the dislocation processes dominating material behavior during cold and warm monotonic viscoplastic deformation. The constitutive equations are then numerically integrated; and the constitutive parameters are determined/fitted for a widely used ferritic-pearlitic steel (20MnCr5).
Vulnérabilité, silence et agentivité : une conception butlerienne de la résistance politique

description: Théoricienne américaine particulièrement connue pour son ouvrage Trouble dans le genre, Judith Butler est une autrice amplement discutée dans le milieu académique sur les questions de genre, et considérée par plusieurs comme une penseuse centrale des théories queer. Toutefois, ses plus récents écrits ont davantage porté sur des questions politiques plus larges qui ont étendu la portée de sa réflexion à d’autres formes d’oppression, notamment à partir de réflexions sur la précarité et la vulnérabilité. Cette thèse porte sur l’œuvre de Butler, plus précisément sur ses réflexions politico-philosophiques entourant la vulnérabilité, l’agentivité et la résistance politique. J’y défends que les idées de Butler sont particulièrement pertinentes pour penser le politique et les pratiques émancipatrices, car Butler accorde une grande importance à la critique, à la résistance et aux pouvoirs d’agir des précaires. Dans mon premier chapitre, j’explique la place qu’occupe le concept de vulnérabilité dans les théories féministes contemporaines et je situe Butler au sein de cette littérature. À cette fin, je propose une nouvelle typologie des théories féministes contemporaines de la vulnérabilité se divisant en trois courants : les théories libérales, les théories du care et les théories féministes critiques. Dans le deuxième chapitre, je montre comment la conception de la vulnérabilité proposée par Butler lui permet de défendre une nouvelle compréhension de la responsabilité sociale qui fait en partie écho aux éthiques du care – un nouvel éthos de la solidarité. Puis, j’explique en quoi cette vulnérabilité est nécessairement liée à la capacité d’agir même du sujet (son agentivité) et en quoi la critique – comprise comme pratique – occupe un rôle central dans cette approche lorsque l’on parle de lutte et de résistance politique. J’y soutient également que Butler engage un discours et un cadre théorique qui permettent de parler des formes d’agir politiques employées par les opprimé·e·s, et d’envisager la création d’alliances et d’une solidarité entres les luttes. Dans le troisième et dernier chapitre, je puise chez les auteurs et autrices qui travaillent sur ce que j’appelle les silences agentifs afin d’offrir quelques exemples de résistances politiques pouvant s’inscrire dans un projet butlerien de lutte contre les inégalités, la précarité et la violence. Cet excursus dans ces écrits me permet d’analyser de manière critique l’opposition binaire qui a été historiquement constituée entre passivité et agentivité, puis entre silence et parole – mais également de défendre des pratiques politiques alternatives pouvant être mobilisées par les dépossédé·e·s.

description: The so-called sdA stars are defined by having H-rich spectra and surface gravities similar to hot subdwarf stars, but effective temperature below the zero-age horizontal branch. Their evolutionary history is an enigma: their surface gravity is too high for main sequence stars, but too low for single evolution white dwarfs. They are most likely byproducts of binary evolution, including blue-stragglers, extremely-low mass white dwarf stars (ELMs) and their precursors (pre-ELMs). A small number of ELMs with similar properties to sdAs is known. Other possibilities include metal-poor A/F dwarfs, second generation stars, or even stars accreted from dwarf galaxies. In this work, we analyse colours, proper motions and spacial velocities of a sample of sdAs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to assess their nature and evolutionary origin. We define a probability of belonging to the main sequence and a probability of being a (pre-)ELM based on these properties. We find that 7 per cent of the sdAs are more likely to be (pre-)ELMs than main sequence stars. However, the spacial velocity distribution suggests that over 35 per cent of them cannot be explained as single metal-poor A/F stars.
