description: We present an individual based model of cultural evolution, where interacting agents are coded by binary strings standing for strategies for action, blueprints for products or attitudes and beliefs. The model is patterned on an established model of biological evolution, the Tangled Nature Model (TNM), where a `tangle' of interactions between agents determines their reproductive success. In addition, our agents also have the ability to copy part of each other's strategy, a feature inspired by the Axelrod model of cultural diversity. Unlike the latter, but similarly to the TNM, the model dynamics goes through a series of metastable stages of increasing length, each characterized by mutually enforcing cultural patterns. These patterns are abruptly replaced by other patterns characteristic of the next metastable period. We analyze the time dependence of the population and diversity in the system, show how different cultures are formed and merge, and how their survival probability lacks, in the model, a finite average life-time. Finally, we use historical data on the number of car manufacturers after the introduction of the automobile to the market, to argue that ourmodel can qualitatively reproduce the flurry of cultural activity which follows a disruptive innovation.

description: In spite of the vast literature on spreading dynamics on complex networks, the role of local synergy, i.e., the interaction of elements that when combined produce a total effect greater than the sum of the individualelements, has been studied but only for irreversible spreading dynamics. Reversible spreading dynamics are ubiquitous but their interplay with synergy has remained unknown. To fill this knowledge gap, we articulate a model to incorporate local synergistic effect into the classical susceptible-infected-susceptible process, in which the probability for a susceptible node to become infected through an infected neighbor is enhanced when the neighborhood of the latter contains a number of infected nodes. We derive master equations incorporating the synergistic effect, with predictions that agree well with the numerical results. A striking finding is that, when a parameter characterizing the strength of the synergy reinforcement effect is above a critical value, the steady state density of the infected nodes versus the basic transmission rate exhibits an explosively increasing behavior and a hysteresis loop emerges. In fact, increasing the synergy strength can promote the spreading and reduce the invasion and persistence thresholds of the hysteresis loop. A physical understanding of the synergy promoting explosive spreading and the associated hysteresis behavior can be obtained through a mean-field analysis.

description: Human Activity Recognition (HAR) is a powerful tool for understanding human behaviour. Applying HAR to wearable sensors can provide new insights by enriching the feature set in health studies, and enhance the personalisation and effectiveness of health, wellness, and fitness applications. Wearable devices provide an unobtrusive platform for user monitoring, and due to their increasing market penetration, feel intrinsic to the wearer. The integration of these devices in daily life provide a unique opportunity for understanding human health and wellbeing. This is referred to as the "quantified self" movement. The analyses of complex health behaviours such as sleep, traditionally require a time-consuming manual interpretation by experts. This manual work is necessary due to the erratic periodicity and persistent noisiness of human behaviour. In this paper, we present a robust automated human activity recognition algorithm, which we call RAHAR. We test our algorithm in the application area of sleep research by providing a novel framework for evaluating sleep quality and examining the correlation between the aforementioned and an individual's physical activity. Our results improve the state-of-the-art procedure in sleep research by 15 percent for area under ROC and by 30 percent for F1 score on average. However, application of RAHAR is not limited to sleep analysis and can be used for understanding other health problems such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiac diseases.
The discursive construction of LGBTQ+ women in Australian HIV documents, 2014-2018

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: In the Australian HIV landscape, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans*, and queer (LGBTQ+) women have undertaken a number of roles: as HIV-positive citizens, carers, health professionals, and activists. However, Australia's epidemiological categories do not recognise 'female-to-female' sexual transmission of HIV. Instead, LGBTQ+ women are forced to occupy alternate categories of 'risk'. In light of their discursive invisibility, this thesis explores how LGBTQ+ women are constituted as particular kinds of subjects in The Seventh National HIV Strategy (2014-2017) and 2014-2017 publications of a Sydney-based LGBTQ+ women's magazine, Lesbians on the Loose (LOTL). Drawing on Carol Bacchi's poststructuralist model of policy analysis, entitled 'What is the Problem Represented to Be?', this thesis pursues an analysis of the 'problem' of HIV, its presuppositions, histories, and constitutive effects, in order to illuminate the complex, culturally contingent ways that LGBTQ+ women are rendered (un)intelligible in Australian HIV discourses. Finally, this thesis will focus on the (few) moments in LOTL where LGBTQ+ women are rendered 'at-risk' of contracting HIV. In doing so, it will begin to question how normative conceptions of 'risk' might be 'done', 'redone', and 'undone' in moments of discursive silence and from identities, desires, and practices that are otherwise 'unthinkable'.

description: Continuous solid electrolyte interface (SEI) formation remains the limiting factor of the lifetime of silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) based negative electrodes. Methods that could provide clear diagnosis of the electrode degradation are of utmost necessity to streamline further developments. We demonstrate that electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) in a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) can be used to quickly map SEI components and quantify LixSi alloys from single experiments, with resolutions down to 5 nm. Exploiting the low-loss part of the EEL spectrum allowed us to circumvent the degradation phenomena that have so far crippled the application of this technique on such beam-sensitive compounds. Our results provide unprecedented insight into silicon aging mechanisms in full cell configuration. We observe the morphology of the SEI to be extremely heterogeneous at the particle scale but with clear chemical evolutions with extended cycling coming from both SEI accumulation and a transition from lithium-rich carbonate-like compounds to lithium-poor ones. Thanks to the retrieval of several results from a single dataset, we were able to correlate local discrepancies in lithiation to the initial crystallinity of silicon as well as to the local SEI chemistry and morphology. This study emphasizes how initial heterogeneities in the percolating electronic network and the porosity affect SiNPs aggregates along cycling. These findings pinpoint the crucial role of an optimized formulation in silicon-based thick electrodes.

description: Tungsten ditelluride (WTe$_2$) exhibits extremely large and unsaturated magnetoresistance (MR). Due to the large spatially extensions of Te-5p and W-5d orbitals, the electronic properties of WTe$_2$ are sensitive to the lattice structures, which can probably affect the strongly temperature dependent MR found in experiment. Based on first-principle calculations, we investigate the temperature effect on the lattice and electronic structures of WTe$_2$. Our numerical results show that the thermal expansion coefficients of WTe$_2$ are highly anisotropic and considerably large. However, the temperature (less than 300 K) has ignorable effect on the Fermi surface of WTe$_2$. Our theoretical results clarify that the thermal expansion is not the main reason of the temperature-induced rapid decrease of magnetoresistance.

description: This paper proposes the application of the waveform relaxation method to the homogenization of multiscale magnetoquasistatic problems. In the monolithic heterogeneous multiscale method, the nonlinear macroscale problem is solved using the Newton--Raphson scheme. The resolution of many mesoscale problems per Gauss point allows to compute the homogenized constitutive law and its derivative by finite differences. In the proposed approach, the macroscale problem and the mesoscale problems are weakly coupled and solved separately using the finite element method on time intervals for several waveform relaxation iterations. The exchange of information between both problems is still carried out using the heterogeneous multiscale method. However, the partial derivatives can now be evaluated exactly by solving only one mesoscale problem per Gauss point.

description: Since supplying passenger safety is the fundamental purpose of establishing vehicular ad hoc networks, researchers are mainly concerned with giving a strategy to ensure meeting this demand. Rescue services vehicles are one of the primary components of VANET, and the messages they broadcast play a vital part in delivering safety. As a result, offering a routing protocol algorithm that prioritizes their messages and guarantees QoS is one approach to meet the core purpose of VANET, or in other words, safety. Grouping the vehicle nodes, also known as clustering, is one of the appropriate solutions for improving the performance of the routing protocol. Most traditional cluster-based topologies in VANET solely consider the mobility to pick the cluster head. While cluster head speed fluctuations can affect the number of cluster head choices and improve the VANET QoS. Furthermore, the fast movement of vehicles exposes clustering links to vulnerability and directly impacts reliability. In this research, we proposed a new efficient multi-hop cluster-based routing protocol that prioritizes emergency vehicles' messages and provides stable and reliable communications to ensure emergency messages are delivered effectively. The number of neighbors, the distance between the vehicle and BS, and the S/N power received by the base station (BS) are the criteria for selecting a cluster head (CH) in our proposed model. Each CH is in charge of transmitting data from other cluster members to the infrastructure directly or indirectly through the qualified adjacent cluster heads. The epigenomic workflow approach is employed in our design to establish efficient resource management in RSU computing nodes and decrease transmission latency. The transmitted messages from vehicles are divided into two separate queues (q1 and q2), while the priority message queue uses the TDMA protocol to disseminate. In this thesis, experiments and simulations were carried out utilizing the NS-2 tool with VanetMobisim integration to assess the efficacy of the suggested approach. Achieved results indicate that the proposed technique increases communication reliability and stability while improving QoS for messages provided by rescue services.

description: Just as turbulence in the Earth's atmosphere can severely limit the angular resolution of optical telescopes, turbulence in the ionized interstellar medium fundamentally limits the resolution of radio telescopes. We present a scattering mitigation framework for radio imaging with very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) that partially overcomes this limitation. Our framework, "stochastic optics," derives from a simplification of strong interstellar scattering to separate small-scale ("diffractive") effects from large-scale ("refractive") effects, thereby separating deterministic and random contributions to the scattering. Stochastic optics extends traditional synthesis imaging by simultaneously reconstructing an unscattered image and its refractive perturbations. Its advantages over direct imaging come from utilizing the many deterministic properties of the scattering -- such as the time-averaged "blurring," polarization independence, and the deterministic evolution in frequency and time -- while still accounting for the stochastic image distortions on large scales. These distortions are identified in the image reconstructions through regularization by their time-averaged power spectrum. Using synthetic data, we show that this framework effectively removes the blurring from diffractive scattering while reducing the spurious image features from refractive scattering. Stochastic optics can provide significant improvements over existing scattering mitigation strategies and is especially promising for imaging the Galactic Center supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*, with the Global mm-VLBI Array and with the Event Horizon Telescope.

description: Intrinsic colors of normal stars are derived in the popularly used infrared bands involving the 2MASS/JHKs, WISE, Spitzer/IRAC and AKARI/S9W filters. Based on three spectroscopic surveys -- LAMOST, RAVE and APOGEE, stars are classified into groups of giants and dwarfs, as well as metal-normal and metal-poor stars. An empirical analytical relation of the intrinsic color is obtained with stellar effective temperature (Teff) for each group of stars after the zero-reddening stars are selected from the blue edge in the $J-λ$ versus (Teff) diagram. It is found that metallicity has little effect on the infrared colors. In the near-infrared bands, our results agree with previous work. In addition, the color indexes H-W2 and Ks-W1 that are taken as constant to calculate interstellar extinction are discussed. The intrinsic color of M-type stars are derived separately due to lack of accurate measurement of their effective temperature.

Diese arbeiten als Gruppe zusammen, um die jeweilige Fragestellung aus der land- oder forstwirtschaftlichen Praxis zu bewerten, aufkommende Ideen zu bündeln, Lösungsansätze gemeinsam zu entwickeln und dann zu verbreiten. Die vielfältigen Aufgaben ergeben sich aus den Möglichkeiten und Herausforderungen, mit denen Erzeugerbetriebe und sonstige Unternehmen im ländlichen Raum konfrontiert sind, und werden aus deren konkretem Bedarf abgeleitet. Die Innovationen, die durch Kooperation entstehen, können Lösungen liefern, die gut an die jeweiligen Gegebenheiten angepasst sind und sich vergleichsweise leicht auch von anderen umsetzen lassen.

description: Shortcut to adiabaticity in various quantum systems has attracted much attention with the wide applications in quantum information processing and quantum control. In this paper, we concentrate on stimulated Raman shortcut-to-adiabatic passage in quantum three-level systems. To implement counter-diabatic driving but without additional coupling, we first reduce the quantum three-level systems to effective two-level problems at large intermediate-level detuning, or on resonance, apply counter-diabatic driving along with the unitary transformation, and eventually modify the pump and Stokes pulses for achieving fast and high-fidelity population transfer. The required laser intensity and stability against parameter variation are further discussed, to demonstrate the advantage of shortcuts to adiabaticity.

Anglo-Celtic Australians' perspectives of multiculturalism
Creators: name: Barnes, Michael G.
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: In Australia, the term multiculturalism has been used to denote government policy rather than the description of a country as multicultural. The aim of this paper is to examine some previously unexamined perceptions that Anglo-Australians of the baby-boomer and preceding generation have of multiculturalism and immigration policy. My objective is to discover how some people have responded to the politics of changing culture and society in an era of rapid global change. I approach the study from three perspectives. In Chapter 1, I examine the literature to explore how academics have perceived and analysed nationalist discourse and multiculturalism in Australia. In that review, I include a discussion of the effect that rapid global change has had on how nation-states are understood. My second focus is on the historical discourses that have influenced the way people think about multiculturalism and immigration. Chapter 2 considers the impact of official discourses and Chapter 3 examines the popular discourses. My third and primary focus is on how a particular cohort of Anglo-Australians in Sydney experiences the presence of immigrants of perceived different cultural backgrounds. In Chapter 1, I discuss how this cohort has been mostly ignored in theoretical and empirical studies of multiculturalism. In Chapter 4, I discuss the data from my study of those Anglo-Australians that I interviewed. By taking a three dimensional approach, I was able to examine if new data was to be found in the voices that were missing in the debates surrounding multiculturalism and immigration policy. The people I studied lived in areas isolated from cultural difference and were not publicly vocal in the debate. I conclude from my study that these people drew meaning from both local and national contexts. In the local context, their experience was often a folkloric one and they did not think much about multiculturalism and immigration. This was a view they had of multiculturalism that celebrated cultural diversity. This view contrasted with the one they had of other parts of Sydney. This view was mostly constructed from information that they encountered in the media. It resulted in what other writers identify as white Australian nationalist discourse. I argue that the anxiety they demonstrated when they called for greater assimilation of immigrants was derived from fears associated with different value systems. In my conclusion, I also discuss how I situate my study as an example of anthropology at home as a valid means of anthropological scholarship.

This will temporarily create a non-symmetric mass profile, with a trailing over-density along the direction of motion. To test this hypothesis, we fit (and subtract) symmetric halos to the weak gravitational data of 72 merging galaxy clusters observed with the Hubble Space Telescope. We convert the shear directly into excess κ and project in to a one dimensional profile. We generate numerical simulations and find that the one dimensional profile is well described with simple Gaussian approximations. We detect the weak lensing signal of trailing gas at a 4σ confidence, finding a mean gas fraction of Mgas/Mdm = 0.13 +/- 0.035. We find no evidence for scattered dark matter particles with a estimated scattering fraction of f = 0.03 +/- 0.05. Finally we find that if we can reduce the statistical error on the positional estimate of a single dark matter halo to <2.5", then we will be able to detect a scattering fraction of 10% at the 3σ level with current surveys. This poten- tially interesting new method can provide an important independent test for other complimentary studies of the self-interaction cross-section of dark matter.

description: This is the second paper on the study of gradient recovery for elliptic interface problem. In our previous work [H. Guo and X. Yang, 2016, arXiv:1607.05898], we developed gradient recovery finite element method based on body-fitted mesh. In this paper, we propose new gradient recovery methods based on two immersed interface finite element methods: symmetric and consistent immersed finite method [H. Ji, J. Chen and Z. Li, J. Sci. Comput., 61 (2014), 533--557] and Petrov-Galerkin immersed finite element method [T.Y. Hou, X.-H. Wu and Y. Zhang, Commun. Math. Sci., 2 (2004), 185--205, and S. Hou and X.-D. Liu, J. Comput. Phys., 202 (2005), 411--445]. Compared to body-fitted mesh based gradient recover methods, immersed finite element methods provide a uniform way of recovering gradient on regular meshes. Numerical examples are presented to confirm the superconvergence of both gradient recovery methods. Moreover, they provide asymptotically exact a posteriori error estimators for both immersed finite element methods.

description: We investigate the nature of low T/W dynamical instabilities in differentially rotating stars by means of linear perturbation. Here, T and W represent rotational kinetic energy and the gravitational binding energy of the star. This is the first attempt to investigate low T/W dynamical instabilities as a complete set of the eigenvalue problem. Our equilibrium configuration has "constant" specific angular momentum distribution, which potentially contains a singular solution in the perturbed enthalpy at corotation radius in linear perturbation. We find the unstable normal modes of differentially rotating stars by solving the eigenvalue problem along the equatorial plane of the star, imposing the regularity condition on the center and the vanished enthalpy at the oscillating equatorial surface. We find that the existing pulsation modes become unstable due to the existence of the corotation radius inside the star. The feature of the unstable mode eigenfrequency and its eigenfunction in the linear analysis roughly agrees with that in three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations in Newtonian gravity. Therefore, our normal mode analysis in the equatorial motion proves valid to find the unstable equilibrium stars efficiently. Moreover, the nature of the eigenfunction that oscillates between corotation and the surface radius for unstable stars requires reinterpretation of the pulsation modes in differentially rotating stars.

description: Enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity of transition metal-doped ceria (CeO2) nanomaterials have experimentally been demonstrated, whereas there are very few reports mentioning the mechanism of this behavior. Here we use first-principles calculations to explore the origin of enhanced photocatalytic performance of CeO2 doped with transition metal impurities (Fe, Cr and Co). When a transition metal atom substitutes a Ce atom into CeO2, t2g and eg levels of 3d orbits appear in the middle of band gap owing to the effect of cubic ligand field, and the former is higher than latter. Interestingly, t2g subset of FeCe (CoCe and CrCe)-Vo-CeO2 is split into two parts: one merges into the conduction band, the other as well as eg will remain in the gap, because O vacancy defect adjacent to transition metal atom will break the symmetry of cubic ligand field. These eg and t2g levels in the band gap are beneficial for absorbing visible light and enhancing quantum efficiency because of forbidden transition, which is one key factor for enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity. The band gap narrowing also leads to a redshift of optical absorbance and high photoactivity. These findings can rationalize the available experimental results and provide some new insights for designing CeO2-based photocatalysts with high photocatalytic performance.

description: Indonesia is a tropical country that has the fourth largest level of mango commodity production in the world, with a contribution rate of 4.8% to world mango production. One of its production centers in the Province of West Java. West Java has many opportunities and potential to develop the mango agribusiness sector. This study aims to see the extent of the development of mango agribusiness in West Java Province, thus providing an overview of the carrying capacity of the mango agribusiness subsystem in dealing with various current agricultural economic problems. The research method uses a survey method. The data analysis of this research used descriptive statistical analysis. The selection of the research location was done by using multi cluster random sampling method. Four mango production centers were selected as sample locations, namely Indramayu, Cirebon, Majalengka and Kuningan districts. Respondents in this study amounted to 200 farmers who were taken randomly. The results of the study illustrate that farmers are facing a significant increase in the price of production factors, facing the problem of decreasing production and productivity from the mango farming results. However, even so the condition of the marketing and supporting subsystems is still in a good state of development, so that mango farming carried out by farmers is still profitable and feasible to continue to be developed.

description: This work reports a peculiar and interesting train of microwave type III pair bursts in the impulsive rising phase of a solar flare on 2011 September 26. The observations include radio spectrometers at frequency of 0.80 - 2.00 GHz, hard X-ray (RHESSI and FERMI), EUV images of SWAP/PROBA-2 and magnetogram of HMI/SDO. By using a recently developed method (Tan et al. 2016a), we diagnosed the plasma density, temperature, plasma beta, magnetic field near the source region, the energy of energetic electrons and the distance between the acceleration region and the emission start sites of type III bursts. From the diagnostics, we find that: (1) The plasma density, temperature, magnetic field, and the distance between the acceleration region and the emission start sites almost have no obvious variations during the period of type III pair trains, while the energy of electrons has an obvious peak value which is consistent to the hard X-ray emission. (2) The plasma beta is much higher than an unity showing a highly dynamic process near the emission start site of type III bursts. (3) Although the reversed-slope type III branches drift slower at one order of magnitude than that of the normal type III branches, the related downgoing and upgoing electrons still could have same order of magnitude of energy. These facts indicate that both of the upgoing and downgoing electrons are possibly accelerated by similar mechanism and in a small source region. This diagnostics can help us to understand the microphysics in the source region of solar bursts.

Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2022

description: In order to deal with the ongoing threat of the COVID-19 pandemic, China has adopted the “Normalized Epidemic Prevention and Control Requirements” measures in the last two years. This study investigates the effect of smart city projects on the patterns of COVID-19 prevention and control in China’s prefecture-level governments. Using an original prefecture-level data between 2020 and 2021, I show that, after the initial outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in Wuhan, prefecturelevel governments with a higher level of smart city construction adopt more targeted measures towards the COVID-19 pandemic under mild outbreaks, but show no significant difference under severe outbreaks.
Role of blue on yellow and low luminance achromatic mfVEP in preperimetric glaucoma, and their structural and functional correlates

description: Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy characterized by a specific pattern of optic disc damage and ganglion cell loss. It is one of the leading causes of blindness in the world. The gold standard for the diagnosis of glaucoma is the detection of characteristic optic disc changes and identification of visual field loss on Standard Automated Perimetry (SAP), which is subjective and often unreliable. It is also evident that due to the redundancy of the visual system, there exists a time gap in the detection of structural versus functional glaucomatous changes. The use of multifocal visual evoked potential (mfVEP) to objectively detect glaucomatous visual field defects has been well demonstrated. Building on this, a Blue on Yellow mfVEP (BonY mfVEP) that targets the Koniocellular pathway and Low Luminance Achromatic mfVEP (LLA mfVEP) that targets the Magnocellular pathway of the visual system have been developed. The sensitivities of these specialized multifocal techniques have also been recently studied. This project seeks to establish the long-term changes associated with these objective perimetry tests and identify the role of both BonY and LLA mfVEP as potential markers in the detection of pre-perimetric glaucoma to establish alternative methods to standard perimetry techniques that offer early detection of functional visual loss. Furthermore, establishing a relationship between these mfVEP techniques to other subjective perimetry techniques and high resolution retinal imaging techniques will help decide on a combination of structural and functional tests that will optimally detect change early as no single test appears to be definitely superior to others.
