description: Image representations (artificial or biological) are often compared in terms of their global geometry; however, representations with similar global structure can have strikingly different local geometries. Here, we propose a framework for comparing a set of image representations in terms of their local geometries. We quantify the local geometry of a representation using the Fisher information matrix, a standard statistical tool for characterizing the sensitivity to local stimulus distortions, and use this as a substrate for a metric on the local geometry in the vicinity of a base image. This metric may then be used to optimally differentiate a set of models, by finding a pair of "principal distortions" that maximize the variance of the models under this metric. We use this framework to compare a set of simple models of the early visual system, identifying a novel set of image distortions that allow immediate comparison of the models by visual inspection. In a second example, we apply our method to a set of deep neural network models and reveal differences in the local geometry that arise due to architecture and training types. These examples highlight how our framework can be used to probe for informative differences in local sensitivities between complex computational models, and suggest how it could be used to compare model representations with human perception.

description: Existing object proposal algorithms usually search for possible object regions over multiple locations and scales separately, which ignore the interdependency among different objects and deviate from the human perception procedure. To incorporate global interdependency between objects into object localization, we propose an effective Tree-structured Reinforcement Learning (Tree-RL) approach to sequentially search for objects by fully exploiting both the current observation and historical search paths. The Tree-RL approach learns multiple searching policies through maximizing the long-term reward that reflects localization accuracies over all the objects. Starting with taking the entire image as a proposal, the Tree-RL approach allows the agent to sequentially discover multiple objects via a tree-structured traversing scheme. Allowing multiple near-optimal policies, Tree-RL offers more diversity in search paths and is able to find multiple objects with a single feed-forward pass. Therefore, Tree-RL can better cover different objects with various scales which is quite appealing in the context of object proposal. Experiments on PASCAL VOC 2007 and 2012 validate the effectiveness of the Tree-RL, which can achieve comparable recalls with current object proposal algorithms via much fewer candidate windows.

description: We analyze the results of the test of $π/2$ qubit rotations on the public quantum computer provided by IBM. We measure a single qubit rotated by $π/2$ about a random axis, and we accumulate vast statistics of the results. The test performed on different devices shows systematic deviations from the theoretical predictions, which appear at the level $10^{-3}$. Some of the differences, beyond 5 standard deviations, cannot be explained by simple corrections due to nonlinearities of pulse generations. The magnitude of the deviation is comparable with the randomized benchmarking of the gate, but we additionally observe a pronounced parametric dependence. We discuss other possible reasons of the deviations, including states beyond the single-qubit space. The deviations have a similar structure for various devices used at different times, and so they can also serve as a diagnostic tool to eliminate imperfect gate implementations, and faithful description of the involved physical systems.

description: Most superconductors are thermal insulators. A disordered chiral $\textit{p}$-wave superconductor, however, can make a transition to a thermal metal phase. Because heat is then transported by Majorana fermions, this phase is referred to as a Majorana metal. Here we present numerical evidence that the mechanism for the phase transition with increasing electrostatic disorder is the percolation of boundaries separating domains of different Chern number. We construct the network of domain walls using the spectral localizer as a ``topological landscape function'', and obtain the thermal metal--insulator phase diagram from the percolation transition.

description: Researchers in many disciplines have previously used a variety of mathematical techniques for analyzing group interactions. Here we use a new metric for this purpose, called 'integrated information' or 'phi.' Phi was originally developed by neuroscientists as a measure of consciousness in brains, but it captures, in a single mathematical quantity, two properties that are important in many other kinds of groups as well: differentiated information and integration. Here we apply this metric to the activity of three types of groups that involve people and computers. First, we find that 4-person work groups with higher measured phi perform a wide range of tasks more effectively, as measured by their collective intelligence. Next, we find that groups of Wikipedia editors with higher measured phi create higher quality articles. Last, we find that the measured phi of the collection of people and computers communicating on the Internet increased over a recent six-year period. Together, these results suggest that integrated information can be a useful way of characterizing a certain kind of interactional complexity that, at least sometimes, predicts group performance. In this sense, phi can be viewed as a potential metric of effective group collaboration. Since the metric was originally developed as a measure of consciousness, the results also raise intriguing questions about the conditions under which it might be useful to regard groups as having a kind of consciousness.

description: Context. Galactic Globular Clusters (GCs) are essential tools to understand the earliest epoch of the Milky Way, since they are among the oldest objects in the Universe and can be used to trace its formation and evolution. Current studies using high resolution spectroscopy for many stars in each of a large sample of GCs allow us to develop a detailed observational picture about their formation and their relation with the Galaxy. However, it is necessary to complete this picture by including GCs that belong to all major Galactic components, including the Bulge. Aims. Our aim is to perform a detailed chemical analyses of the bulge GC NGC 6440 in order to determine if this object has Multiple Populations (MPs) and investigate its relation with the Bulge of the Milky Way and with the other Galactic GCs, especially those associated with the Bulge, which are largely poorly studied. Methods. We determined the stellar parameters and the chemical abundances of light elements (Na, Al), iron-peak elements (Fe, Sc, Mn, Co, Ni), $α$-elements (O, Mg, Si, Ca, Ti) and heavy elements (Ba, Eu) in seven red giant members of NGC 6440 using high resolution spectroscopy from FLAMES@UVES. Results. We found a mean iron content of [Fe/H]=-0.50$\pm$0.03 dex in agreement with other studies. We found no internal iron spread. On the other hand, Na and Al show a significant intrinsic spread, but the cluster has no significant O-Na anticorrelation nor exhibits a Mg-Al anticorrelation. The $α$-elements show good agreement with the Bulge field star trend, although they are at the high alpha end and are also higher than those of other GCs of comparable metallicity. The heavy elements are dominated by the r-process, indicating a strong contribution by SNeII. The chemical analysis suggests an origin similar to that of the Bulge field stars.

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Condensation is an issue that has been affection the Australian National Gallery of Art off-site facility - Hume storage warehouse - for more than 20 years. A condensation investigation aims to detect the causes and provide recommendations to solve this problem, considering aspects and properties such as heating and cooling conditions, temperature moisture content, ventilation and structural construction. It has been found that air infiltartion and thermal bridging are characteristics that have a great impact in the the generation of surface condensation within the facilities. An engineering approach to the conditions and remedies related to the specific sites of condensation are analysed and thermal modelled using Ansys and heat3 software. This thesis investigates the stability of the conditioned space in order to preserve the contents and collections which possess a high social and economic value for Australian art.
An exploration of community pharmacy technician roles in Wales

Year: 2022
Subjects: Clinical pharmacy and pharmacy practice

description: Cardiff School of Education and Social PolicyMA Education DissertationBackgroundHealthcare models in Wales are changing in response to unprecedented pressure on the NHS. In the future, community pharmacies will provide a greater range of clinical services locally. The pharmacy technician profession must be enabled to work at the ‘top of their clinical competence’ to support these changes.ObjectiveThe purpose of the research was to gather intelligence on existing community pharmacy technician roles and ascertain the barriers and enablers to role development. Methods: An online questionnaire was used to obtain quantitative and qualitative data from 213 community pharmacy technicians across Wales. Four semi-structured telephone interviews were undertaken to provide further qualitative data.ResultsDispensing remains a core function for community pharmacy technicians, as does final accuracy checking. There is some evidence of engagement in leadership and management roles, as well as delivery of enhanced services such as smoking cessation, albeit limited. Enablers to role development include workplace support and access to training. Barriers include staffing, business pressures and inability to access training.ConclusionThere is scope to enable community pharmacy technicians to further develop their roles in key areas such as processing queries and delivering services. This will require investment in post-registration training and improved use of delegation and skill mix.

description: This paper presents a general method for producing randomly perturbed density operators subject to different sets of constraints. The perturbed density operators are a specified "distance" away from the state described by the original density operator. This approach is applied to a bipartite system of qubits and used to examine the sensitivity of various entanglement measures on the perturbation magnitude. The constraint sets used include constant energy, constant entropy, and both constant energy and entropy. The method is then applied to produce perturbed random quantum states that correspond with those obtained experimentally for Bell states on the IBM quantum device ibmq_manila. The results show that the methodology can be used to simulate the outcome of real quantum devices where noise, which is important both in theory and simulation, is present.

description: We have searched for photometric variability in 95 Vir, a fast rotating, chromospherically active early F-type star, which was observed in the framework of Campaign 6 of the Kepler K2 mission. Available literature information on 95 Vir were procured, and well-established calibrations were employed to verify the derived astrophysical parameters. We have investigated the location of our target star in the M(Bol) versus log T(eff) diagram, which provides information on evolutionary status. We have discussed our results in detail, drawing on literature information and the theoretical predictions of state-of-the-art pulsation models, with the aim of unraveling the underlying variability mechanisms. From an analysis of 3400 long-cadence measurements, we have identified two main frequencies and several harmonics in our target star. We attribute the main frequency, f1 = 9.53728 d**-1, to delta Scuti pulsations. The origin of the secondary signal, f2 = 1.07129 d**-1, is less clear. We have investigated three possible interpretations of the low-frequency variation: binarity, pulsation and rotational modulation. Current evidence favours an interpretation of f2 as a signature of the rotational period caused by the presence of cool star spots, which goes along well with the observed chromospheric activity. However, phase-resolved spectroscopy is needed to verify this assumption. We briefly consider other chromospherically active delta Scuti stars that have been presented in the literature. A search for star spot-induced photometric variability in these objects might be of great interest, as well as an investigation of the interplay between chromospheric and pulsational activity.

description: Symbolic computation for systems of differential equations is often computationally expensive. Many practical differential models have a form of polynomial or rational ODE system with specified outputs. A basic symbolic approach to analyze these models is to compute and then symbolically process the polynomial system obtained by sufficiently many Lie derivatives of the output functions with respect to the vector field given by the ODE system.
 In this paper, we present a method for speeding up Gröbner basis computation for such a class of polynomial systems by using specific monomial ordering, including weights for the variables, coming from the structure of the ODE model. We provide empirical results that show improvement across different symbolic computing frameworks and apply the method to speed up structural identifiability analysis of ODE models.

description: This dissertation examines devlopments in Australian climate policy from the election of the Rudd government in 2007, to the Abbott government's announcement in August 2015 of Australia's Intended Nationally Determined Contribution to a new Climate Change Agreement. It addresses the drivers of the shift away from climate action that has occurred during the period. The key question it addresses is: to what extent does business power explain this shift? Using a method based on process tracing it presents an original history of climate politics during the period and finds that although the outcome was highly contingent, the power of business - which is conceived in its strructural, institutional and ideological dimensions - remains indispensable in understanding contests over climate governance, and the divide between the science of climate change and the policy response in Australia. This dissertation also offers a refinement to theories of business power. It demonstrates that business power is unwieldy, volatile and readily produces unintended consequences; moreover, the cultural power of business is the source of climate denialism and the polarization that climate change elicits.

description: We report the discovery of a mysterious giant $H_α$ blob that is $\sim 8$ kpc away from the main MaNGA target 1-24145, one component of a dry galaxy merger, identified in the first-year SDSS-IV MaNGA data. The size of the $H_α$ blob is $\sim$ 3-4 kpc in radius, and the $H_α$ distribution is centrally concentrated. However, there is no optical continuum counterpart in deep broadband images reaching $\sim$26.9 mag arcsec$^{-2}$ in surface brightness. We estimate that the masses of ionized and cold gases are $3.3 \times 10^{5}$ $\rm M_{\odot}$ and $< 1.3 \times 10^{9}$ $\rm M_{\odot}$, respectively. The emission-line ratios indicate that the $H_α$ blob is photoionized by a combination of massive young stars and AGN. Furthermore, the ionization line ratio decreases from MaNGA 1-24145 to the $H_α$ blob, suggesting that the primary ionizing source may come from MaNGA 1-24145, likely a low-activity AGN. Possible explanations of this $H_α$ blob include AGN outflow, the gas remnant being tidally or ram-pressure stripped from MaNGA 1-24145, or an extremely low surface brightness (LSB) galaxy. However, the stripping scenario is less favoured according to galaxy merger simulations and the morphology of the $H_α$ blob. With the current data, we can not distinguish whether this $H_α$ blob is ejected gas due to a past AGN outburst, or a special category of `ultra-diffuse galaxy' (UDG) interacting with MaNGA 1-24145 that further induces the gas inflow to fuel the AGN in MaNGA 1-24145.

description: This thesis continues the program of Ross Street and his collaborators to develop a theory of non-abelian cohomology with higher categories as the coeffcient objects. The main goal of this thesis is to show how this theory can be extended to recover Giraud's non-abelian cohomology of degree 2, thereby addressing an open problem posed by Street. The definition of non-abelian cohomology that is adopted in this thesis is one due to Grothendieck, which takes higher stacks as the coeffcient objects; the cohomology is the higher category of global sections of the higher stack. The two approaches of Street and Grothendieck are compared and it is shown how they may be reconciled. The central argument depends on a generalisation of Lawvere's construction for associated sheaves, which yields the 2-stack of gerbes over a site as an associated 2-stack; the stack of liens (or \bands") is the 1-stack truncation thereof. Much of the work is dedicated to showing how the coherence theory of tricategories, supplemented by results of three-dimensional monad theory and enriched model category theory, provides a practicable model of the tricategory of indexed bicategories over a site,in whose context the theory can be developed. This tricategory is shown to be triequivalent to a full sub-Gray-category of the Gray-category of indexed 2-categories over the site, thus permitting the tricategorical analogues of limits, colimits, image factorisation systems, and Grothendieck's plus construction to be modelled by strict constructions of Gray-enriched category theory.

description: We develop generalized coherent states for a class of nonlinear oscillators with position-dependent effective mass in the context of the Gazeau-Klauder formalism and discuss some of their properties. In order to investigate the temporal evolution we first explore the statistical properties by means of weighting distribution and the Mandel parameter. It is found that the temporal evolution of the coherent states may exhibit the phenomena of quantum revivals and fractional revivals for a particular choice of position-dependent mass oscillator.

description: Os motores de indução trifásicos são usados na maioria dos sistemas eletromecânicos, pelo que a sua manutenção reveste-se de enorme importância. A monitorização contínua dos equipamentos é o elemento chave dos atuais sistemas de manutenção condicionada. A análise espectral da corrente absorvida pelo motor está muito implantada na indústria, mas apresenta várias limitações. Diversos métodos de deteção e diagnóstico de avarias têm sido desenvolvidos, baseados nas múltiplas grandezas que caracterizam o funcionamento do motor. A análise no domínio das frequências, com recurso a técnicas de processamento digital de sinal, tem sido bastante explorada. Este artigo pretende focar-se nas principais causas e métodos de diagnóstico de avarias no estator e rotor dos motores de indução.

description: We use $Λ$CDM cosmological hydrodynamical simulations to explore the kinematics of gaseous discs in late-type dwarf galaxies. We create high-resolution 21-cm 'observations' of simulated dwarfs produced in two variations of the EAGLE galaxy formation model: one where supernova-driven gas flows redistribute dark matter and form constant-density central 'cores', and another where the central 'cusps' survive intact. We 'observe' each galaxy along multiple sight lines and derive a rotation curve for each observation using a conventional tilted-ring approach to model the gas kinematics. We find that the modelling process introduces systematic discrepancies between the recovered rotation curve and the actual circular velocity curve driven primarily by (i) non-circular gas orbits within the discs; (ii) the finite thickness of gaseous discs, which leads to overlap of different radii in projection; and (iii) departures from dynamical equilibrium. Dwarfs with dark matter cusps often appear to have a core, whilst the inverse error is less common. These effects naturally reproduce an observed trend which other models struggle to explain: late-type dwarfs with more steeply-rising rotation curves appear to be dark matter-dominated in the inner regions, whereas the opposite seems to hold in galaxies with core-like rotation curves. We conclude that if similar effects affect the rotation curves of observed dwarfs, a late-type dwarf population in which all galaxies have sizeable dark matter cores is most likely incompatible with current measurements.

Renal sensory nerves play a role in the hypotensive effect of renal denervation in chronic kidney disease

description: Renal denervation is a novel therapy being used to reduce high blood pressure in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We investigated the contribution of renal sensory and sympathetic nerves to this response using a Lewis polycystic kidney (LPK) model of CKD. Lewis control and LPK rats were subjected to total, afferent or sham renal denervation by periaxonal application of phenol, capsaicin or normal saline, respectively, at age 6 and 12 weeks. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was measured by tail-cuff plethysmography or radiotelemetry. Renal function was assessed by urinalysis and creatinine clearance rate. Denervation was confirmed by immunohistochemistry using antibodies against markers for sensory [calcitonin gene-related peptide [(CGRP)] and sympathetic nerves [tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)] in the kidney. Initial analysis indicates total denervation produces a blood-pressure lowering effect in LPK between age 7-15 weeks (treat 164±4 vs. sham 180±6mmHg as determined by tail-cuff, P=0.003). SBP in LPK between age 7-11 weeks was also lesser in the afferent denervation group (treated 205±16 vs. sham 222±13mmHg, as determined by radiotelemetry, P<0.05). Neither denervation technique altered SBP in the Lewis animals. Neither total nor afferent denervation had an effect on renal function. In both strains of rat, 4 weeks following the second denervation surgery, TH labelling remained intact after afferent denervation, but was markedly reduced after total denervation. CGRP labelling was markedly reduced after both total and afferent denervation when compared to sham animals. This preliminary study provides evidence supporting the hypothesis that renal sensory nerves have an important role in the observed hypotensive effect of renal denervation.

description: Simulation of materials is one of the most promising applications of quantum computers. On near-term hardware the crucial constraint on these simulations is circuit depth. Many quantum simulation algorithms rely on a layer of unitary evolutions generated by each term in a Hamiltonian. This appears in time-dynamics as a single Trotter step, and in variational quantum eigensolvers under the Hamiltonian variational ansatz as a single ansatz layer. We present a new quantum algorithm design for materials modelling where the depth of a layer is independent of the system size. This design takes advantage of the locality of materials in the Wannier basis and employs a tailored fermionic encoding that preserves locality. We analyse the circuit costs of this approach and present a compiler that transforms density functional theory data into quantum circuit instructions -- connecting the physics of the material to the simulation circuit. The compiler automatically optimises circuits at multiple levels, from the base gate level to optimisations derived from the physics of the specific target material. We present numerical results for materials spanning a wide structural and technological range. Our results demonstrate a reduction of many orders of magnitude in circuit depth over standard prior methods that do not consider the structure of the Hamiltonian. For example our results improve resource requirements for Strontium Vanadate (SrVO$_3$) from 864 to 180 qubits for a $3\times3\times3$ lattice, and the circuit depth of a single Trotter or variational layer from $7.5\times 10^8$ to depth $884$. Although this is still beyond current hardware, our results show that materials simulation may be feasible on quantum computers without necessarily requiring scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computers, provided quantum algorithm design incorporates understanding of the materials and applications.

description: The gauge dependence of the conformal anomaly for spin 3/2 and spin 2 fields in non-conformal supergravities has been a long standing puzzle. In this Letter we argue that the `correct' gauge choice is the one that follows from requiring all terms that would imply a violation of the Wess-Zumino consistency condition to be absent in the counterterm, because otherwise the usual link between the anomaly and the one-loop divergence becomes invalid. Remarkably, the `good' choice of gauge is the one that confirms our previous result that a complete cancellation of conformal anomalies in D=4 can only be achieved for N-extended (Poincaré) supergravities with $N\geq 5$.

description: The $Υ$ invariant is a concordance invariant defined by using knot Floer homology. Földvári gives a combinatorial restructure of it using grid homology. We extend the combinatorial $Υ$ invariant for balanced spatial graph using grid homology for balanced spatial graph. Regarding links as spatial graphs, we give a upper and lower bounds for $Υ$ when two links are connected by a cobordism. Also we show that the combinatorial $Υ$ is a concordance invariant for knots.
