description: A series of epoxy-functionalized quaternary ammonium surfactants consisting of different alkyl chains (C10–C18) were synthesized. Their aggregation behaviors in aqueous solution, as well as antibacterial activity and reactivity were investigated. The cmc, γcmc, πcmc, pc20 and cmc/c20 suggested that the presence of epoxy group increased the surface activity of ADEAC. This is ascribed to the hydrogen bonding effect between the adjacent hydrophilic groups. The surface activity increased with the increase of hydrocarbon chain length. The thermodynamic parameters indicated that the micellization process was entropy-driven at high temperature, and enthalpy-driven at low temperature. The activation energy of conductance and micelle aggregation number were also calculated. The antibacterial activity of ADEAC against Gram-negative bacteria was stronger than that for Gram-positive ones, and N-dodecyl-N,N-dimethyl-N-(1,2-epoxy propyl) ammonium chloride showed the most effective antibacterial activity. The synthesis of N-hexadecyl-N,N-dimethyl-N-(1,2-epoxy propyl) ammonium chloride (HDEAC) modified chitosan demonstrated the reactivity of HDEAC.

description: We consider the problem of proving that each point in a given set of states ("target set") can indeed be reached by a given nondeterministic continuous-time dynamical system from some initial state. We consider this problem for abstract continuous-time models that can be concretized as various kinds of continuous and hybrid dynamical systems. The approach to this problem proposed in this paper is based on finding a suitable superset S of the target set which has the property that each partial trajectory of the system which lies entirely in S either is defined as the initial time moment, or can be locally extended backward in time, or can be locally modified in such a way that the resulting trajectory can be locally extended back in time. This reformulation of the problem has a relatively simple logical expression and is convenient for applying various local existence theorems and local dynamics analysis methods to proving reachability which makes it suitable for reasoning about the behavior of continuous and hybrid dynamical systems in proof assistants such as Mizar, Isabelle, etc.

Cognitive abilities and expert assessment practices in fitness to stand trial evaluations : an Australian study based on the legal standard of Presser
Creators: name: White, Amanda J.
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Background: Fitness to stand trial (FST) is a cornerstone of western legal systems. Mental health experts play a crucial role in assisting the courts’ fit or unfit determinations. Research has identified psychiatric variables and cognition as important for FST. However, the specific cognitive abilities relevant to FST remains largely untested. Further, there is no research examining these variables within the Australian legal context. Aims: The aim of the current body of research was to examine the role of cognition in FST assessments within an Australian context and in relation to the legal criteria of R v Presser. Methods: The aim of the research reported in the present thesis was achieved by: 1) conducting a systematic literature review evaluating the evidence for specific cognitive abilities in predicting FST; 2) evaluating FST reports produced in NSW (2005-2010) in order to determine the evidence for specific cognitive abilities, psychiatric disorders and neurological dysfunction impacting FST and to inform expert assessment practices; 3) conducting semi-structured interviews with lawyers and forensic mental health experts in order to evaluate views regarding the role of europsychological assessment in FST cases and the relevance of cognitive abilities. Results: Findings suggested that cognitive abilities, specifically verbal memory, nonverbal abilities and executive functioning, were relevant to the question of FST within the Australian legal context. Neurological disorders were also important in predicting a defendants' FST. Expert assessment techniques were highly variable. Reporting on the legal criteria of Presser was also variable. Finally, lawyers and mental health practitioners acknowledged an important role for neuropsychology within FST assessments; however understanding about the discipline of neuropsychology and its application was limited. Several key areas of improvement were identified and recommended. Implications: Further research exploring the relationship between specific cognitive abilities and FST determinations is warranted as well as further education for both lawyers and forensic mental health experts conducting FST assessments in order to improve the quality and standard of FST reports.

description: The efficient mixing of fluids is key in many applications, such as chemical reactions and nanoparticle precipitation. Detailed experimental measurements of the mixing dynamics are however difficult to obtain, and so predictive numerical tools are helpful in designing and optimizing many processes. If two different fluids are considered, the viscosity and density of the mixture depend often nonlinearly on the composition, which makes the modeling of the mixing process particularly challenging. Hence water-water mixtures in simple geometries such as T-mixers have been intensively investigated, but little is known about the dynamics of more complex mixtures, especially in the turbulent regime. We here present a numerical method allowing the accurate simulation of two-fluid mixtures. Using a high-performance implementation of this method we perform direct numerical simulations resolving the spatial and temporal dynamics of water-ethanol flows for Reynolds numbers from 100 to 2000. The flows states encountered during turbulence transition and their mixing properties are discussed in detail and compared to water-water mixtures.

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The purpose of this project is to improve the codebase of Signbank, a web-application written in Django that provides information relating to sign languages. The codebase is suffering from a lack of tests, from being out of date (with respect to the latest versions of Python and Django), from lacking documentation, and from containing components that should be independent from one another but are not.By the end of this project, the Signbank codebase was improved by writing tests for it, by making components that should be independent from one another independent from one another, by writing documentation, and by upgrading the codebase to the latest versions of Django and Python, versions 1.10 and 3.5 respectively. The project did fall short in some areas, (as is to be expected from a large software project). Some advice is given to future developers on how they can tie up the loose ends left on this project.

description: Objective: To investigate whether parental TBI increases the overall risk for psychiatric disorders and the risk for specific psychiatric diagnoses in the children affected by parental TBI. Methods: The 1987 Finnish Birth Cohort (n = 59 476) were followed up through national registers from birth to the end of 2008. The diagnoses of cohort members and their parents were obtained from the Care Register of Health Care, provided by the National Institute of Health and Welfare. Results: During the 21-year follow-up, the likelihood for psychiatric diagnoses being assessed in psychiatric care was significantly increased in males with any mental disorder (odds ratio (OR) = 1.43), substance-use-related disorders (OR = 1.71) and behavioural and emotional disorders (OR = 1.75), and in females with disorders of psychological development (OR = 1.85). Conclusions: Children affected by parental TBI are at increased risk for psychiatric disorders: males for externalizing disorders and females for developmental disorders. Observed gender interactions in the association between parental TBI and the psychiatric disorders of children warrant further study.

description: We explore the far-from-equilibrium dynamics of Bose gases in a universal regime associated to nonthermal fixed points. While previous investigations concentrated on scaling functions and exponents describing equal-time correlations, we compute the additional scaling functions and dynamic exponent $z$ characterizing the frequency dependence or dispersion from unequal-time correlations. This allows us to compare the characteristic condensation and correlation times from a finite-size scaling analysis depending on the system's volume.

description: We report observations of unusual normal-state electronic conduction properties and superconducting characteristics of high-quality CoSi$_2$/Si films grown on silicon Si(100) and Si(111) substrates. A good understanding of these features shall help to address the underlying physics of the unconventional pairing symmetry recently observed in transparent CoSi$_2$/TiSi$_2$ heterojunctions [S. P. Chiu \textit{et al.}, Sci. Adv. \textbf{7}, eabg6569 (2021); Nanoscale \textbf{15}, 9179 (2023)], where CoSi$_2$/Si is a superconductor with a superconducting transition temperature $T_c \simeq$ (1.1--1.5) K, dependent on its dimensions, and TiSi$_2$ is a normal metal. In CoSi$_2$/Si films, we find a pronounced positive magnetoresistance caused by the weak-antilocalization effect, indicating a strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC). This SOC generates two-component superconductivity in CoSi$_2$/TiSi$_2$ heterojunctions. The CoSi$_2$/Si films are stable under ambient conditions and have ultralow 1/$f$ noise. Moreover, they can be patterned via the standard lithography techniques, which might be of considerable practical value for future scalable superconducting and quantum device fabrication.

description: We demonstrate in this work that the use of metasurfaces provides a viable strategy to largely tune and enhance near-field radiative heat transfer between extended structures. In particular, using a rigorous coupled wave analysis, we predict that Si-based metasurfaces featuring two-dimensional periodic arrays of holes can exhibit a room-temperature near-field radiative heat conductance much larger than any unstructured material to date. We show that this enhancement, which takes place in a broad range of separations, relies on the possibility to largely tune the properties of the surface plasmon polaritons that dominate the radiative heat transfer in the near-field regime.

Combining the host transcriptome and molecular pathogen diagnostics to better understand febrile illness in children
Creators: name: Shah, Priyen
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Background: The significant morbidity and mortality associated with infectious diseases if untreated and the rise of antimicrobial resistance has prompted the development of novel diagnostics for infectious diseases. These diagnostics have performed well at identifying patients with confident diagnosis of bacterial or viral infection, but perform less well when the aetiology is unclear. The introduction of molecular diagnostics has shown there is more pathogen data than what is revealed by conventional diagnostics. In this study I explore whether molecular diagnostic data, when analysed in conjunction with gene expression data can help us to understand febrile illnesses more clearly. Methods: I analysed molecular diagnostic pathogen data from 4611 febrile children and 1061 controls recruited to the PERFORM study, an EU funded study recruiting patients with fever or suspected infection across Europe and supplemented this with host gene expression data from a 12-gene signature. Results: Pathogen detection did not always align with the patient’s clinical course, with bacteria detected in patients presumed to have viral disease and controls and viruses detected in patients presumed to have viral disease and controls. In addition, we found that pathogen co-detection was common and non-random. Gene expression analysis of a 12-gene signature showed that the detection of some pathogens and syndromes resulted in a “bacterial-like” response, others resulted in a “viral-like” response, while many resulted in a mixed picture, with both bacterial and viral-like 6 responses in different patients. The host response was also influenced by site of infection and the presence of co-detections. Conclusions: This study shows the utility of gene expression studies in understanding infections. Further analysis of additional pathogen data, and expression data from a wider set of genes at multiple timepoints, will allow for better understanding of when pathogen detection requires intervention. This could form the foundation for novel diagnostics for infectious diseases.
Promoting English in Saudi Arabia: A critical discourse analysis of advertisements for private English language teaching institutes

description: Promotional discourses of English language teaching (ELT) institutes play a significant role in shaping beliefs about the English language and about language learning. This study examines the persuasion strategies and the ideological assumptions in a corpus of advertisements for private ELT institutes in Saudi Arabia. Critical discourse analysis (CDA) of rhetorical moves and multimodal elements was used to analyse a corpus of 45 online advertisements. Findings reveal that the institutes attempt to persuade their potential audience to enrol by conceptualizing English as a global language and by stressing the advantages of learning English for job opportunities, travel, and education. The advertisements also construct English learning as fun, personally empowering, and confidence-enhancing. Among the rhetorical moves aimed at persuasion, establishing credentials was the most dominant. This involved providing accreditations, using the institute's name and logo, identifying particular textbooks and teaching methods, and claiming expertise. Moreover, language choice serves as a persuasive strategy, as code-switching into English constitutes a symbolic resource by which the institutes display their mastery of the language. The study contributes to a better understanding of the ways in which English is conceptualized in Saudi Arabia and has implications for language policy.

description: Reachability analysis for hybrid systems is an active area of development and has resulted in many promising prototype tools. Most of these tools allow users to express hybrid system as automata with a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) associated with each state, as well as rules for transitions between states. Significant effort goes into developing and verifying and correctly implementing those tools. As such, it is desirable to expand the scope of applicability tools of such as far as possible. With this goal, we show how compile-time transformations can be used to extend the basic hybrid ODE formalism traditionally supported in hybrid reachability tools such as SpaceEx or Flow*. The extension supports certain types of partial derivatives and equational constraints. These extensions allow users to express, among other things, the Euler-Lagrangian equation, and to capture practically relevant constraints that arise naturally in mechanical systems. Achieving this level of expressiveness requires using a binding time-analysis (BTA), program differentiation, symbolic Gaussian elimination, and abstract interpretation using interval analysis. Except for BTA, the other components are either readily available or can be easily added to most reachability tools. The paper therefore focuses on presenting both the declarative and algorithmic specifications for the BTA phase, and establishes the soundness of the algorithmic specifications with respect to the declarative one.

description: The use of cavities to impact molecular structure and dynamics has become popular. As cavities, in particular plasmonic nanocavities, are lossy and the lifetime of their modes can be very short, their lossy nature must be incorporated into the calculations. The Lindblad master equation is commonly considered as an appropriate tool to describe this lossy nature. This approach requires the dynamics of the density operator and is thus substantially more costly than approaches employing the Schrödinger equation for the quantum wave function when several or many nuclear degrees of freedom are involved. In this work we compare numerically the Lindblad and Schrödinger descriptions discussed in the literature for a molecular example where the cavity is pumped by a laser. The laser and cavity properties are varied over a range of parameters. It is found that the Schrödinger description adequately describes the dynamics of the polaritons and emission signal as long as the laser intensity is moderate and the pump time is not much longer than the lifetime of the cavity mode. Otherwise, it is demonstrated that the Schrödinger description gradually fails. We also show that the failure of the Schrödinger description can often be remedied by renormalizing the wave function at every step of the time propagation. The results are discussed and analyzed.

description: We report the bright solitons of the generalized Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation with some types of physically relevant parity-time-(PT-) and non-PT-symmetric potentials. We find that the constant momentum coefficient can modulate the linear stability and complicated transverse power-flows (not always from the gain toward loss) of nonlinear modes. However, the varying momentum coefficient Gamma(x) can modulate both unbroken linear PT-symmetric phases and stability of nonlinear modes. Particularly, the nonlinearity can excite the unstable linear mode (i.e., broken linear PT-symmetric phase) to stable nonlinear modes. Moreover, we also find stable bright solitons in the presence of non-PT-symmetric harmonic-Gaussian potential. The interactions of two bright solitons are also illustrated in PT-symmetric potentials. Finally, we consider nonlinear modes and transverse power-flows in the three-dimensional (3D) GP equation with the generalized PT-symmetric Scarf-II potential

description: Cr(III) as one of the most concerned potentially toxic elements, is discharged from relevant industries and Cr(VI) reduction. Hydrogel-based adsorption could be one of the promising approaches for Cr(III) removal. Featured with environmental friendliness and low cost, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) was employed for the hydrogel synthesis, and attapulgite (APT) could be used to strengthen its stability. However, the adsorption performance and mechanisms need to be examined. In the present study, carboxymethyl cellulose-g-poly(acrylic acid-co-acrylamide)/ attapulgite (CMC-g-p(AA-co-AM)/APT) was synthesised via in situ copolymerisation. Its efficacy for removing Cr(III) from an aqueous solution was investigated using batch adsorption experiments. Results showed that the introduction of APT enhanced the thermal stability but decreased the swelling performance of the hydrogel. The prepared hydrogel could strongly adsorb Cr(III) at a wide pH range of 3.0–7.0. Cr(III) can be efficiently removed by the composite hydrogel within 1–2 h. At low concentration, CMC-g-p(AA-co-AM)/APT could slightly adsorbed more Cr(III) than CMC-g-p(AA-co-AM). The maximum absorption of CMC-g-p(AA-co-AM) and CMC-g-p(AA-co-AM)/APT were 74.8 and 47.7 mg/g at 298 K, respectively. The negative value of ΔHo and ΔGo indicated the adsorption of Cr(III) onto the two studied hydrogels is an exothermic and spontaneous process. Ion exchange and complexation, as implied by EDS, FT-IR and XPS, combining with electrostatic attraction are the possible adsorption mechanisms for Cr(III) onto the prepared hydrogels. All the results above suggests that the composite hydrogel CMC-g-p(AA-co-AM)/APT can be a promising candidate for the removal of Cr(III) from waste water.

description: We present computer simulations of the vapour-nematic interface of the Gay-Berne model. We considered situations which correspond to either prolate or oblate molecules. We determine the anchoring of the nematic phase and correlate it with the intermolecular potential parameters. On the other hand, we evaluate the surface tension associated to this interface. We find a corresponding states law for the surface tension dependence on the temperature, valid for both prolate and oblate molecules.

description: Martin Heidegger is not a figure who features prominently in the philosophical study of cinema and when scholars do draw upon his thinking in their engagement with film it is for the most part in relation to the cinema of Terence Malick, a one time Heidegger scholar. Critics have claimed that Malick has faithfully transposed Heidegger's thinking into cinema and purported to use concepts from Heidegger's philosophy to provide insight into Malick's films.In their studies, however, critics have often interpreted Heidegger's ontological enquiry into Being as as an ontic enquiry into meaning, ignored his (mainly critical) comments on film, and also ignored or interpreted superficially his understanding of art. As such, these studies provide little insight into the nature of the potential relationship between Heidegger's philosophy and cinema. This thesis argues for a conception of cinema as Heideggerian art and makes a more substantial attempt to remain consistent with Heidegger's thinking. It contends that for Heidegger art manifests Being in its withdrawal, and that he excludes cinema from the realm of art as he understands the film-photographic image to be a 'copy'. To explore how despite its status as copy cinema may be understood to function as Heideggerian art, the present study considers the effect of Michelangelo Antonioni's use of 'dead time' in his 1962 film L'eclisse.

description: Radio waves, perhaps because they are uniquely transparent in our terrestrial atmosphere, as well as the cosmos beyond, or perhaps because they are macroscopic, so the basic instruments of detection (antennas) are easily constructable, arguably occupy a privileged position within the electromagnetic spectrum, and, correspondingly, receive disproportionate attention experimentally. Detection of radio-frequency radiation, at macroscopic wavelengths, has blossomed within the last decade as a competitive method for measurement of cosmic particles, particularly charged cosmic rays and neutrinos. Cosmic-ray detection via radio emission from extensive air showers has been demonstrated to be a reliable technique that has reached a reconstruction quality of the cosmic-ray parameters competitive with more traditional approaches. Radio detection of neutrinos in dense media seems to be the most promising technique to achieve the gigantic detection volumes required to measure neutrinos at energies beyond the PeV-scale flux established by IceCube. In this article, we review radio detection both of cosmic rays in the atmosphere, as well as neutrinos in dense media.

description: Cr(III) as one of the most concerned potentially toxic elements, is discharged from relevant industries and Cr(VI) reduction. Hydrogel-based adsorption could be one of the promising approaches for Cr(III) removal. Featured with environmental friendliness and low cost, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) was employed for the hydrogel synthesis, and attapulgite (APT) could be used to strengthen its stability. However, the adsorption performance and mechanisms need to be examined. In the present study, carboxymethyl cellulose-g-poly(acrylic acid-co-acrylamide)/ attapulgite (CMC-g-p(AA-co-AM)/APT) was synthesized via in situ copolymerization. Its efficacy for removing Cr(III) from aqueous solution was investigated using batch adsorption experiments. Results showed that the introduction of APT enhanced the thermal stability but decreased the swelling performance of the hydrogel. The prepared hydrogel could strongly adsorb Cr(III) at a wide pH range of 3.0–7.0. Cr(III) can be efficiently removed by the composite hydrogel within 1–2 h. At low concentration, CMC-g-p(AA-co-AM)/APT could slightly adsorbed more Cr(III) than CMC-g-p(AA-co-AM). The maximum absorption of CMC-g-p(AA-co-AM) and CMC-g-p(AA-co-AM)/APT were 74.8 mg/g and 47.7 mg/g at 298 K, respectively. The negative value of ΔHo and ΔGo indicated the adsorption of Cr(III) onto the two studied hydrogels is an exothermic and spontaneous process. Ion exchange and complexation, as implied by EDS, FT-IR and XPS, combining with electrostatic attraction are the possible adsorption mechanisms for Cr(III) onto the prepared hydrogels. All the results above suggests that the composite hydrogel CMC-g-p(AA-co-AM)/APT can be a promising candidate for the removal of Cr(III) from waste water.

description: Recent studies have shown that close-in brown dwarfs in the mass range 35-55 M$_{\rm Jup}$ are almost depleted as companions to stars, suggesting that objects with masses above and below this gap might have different formation mechanisms. We determine the fundamental stellar parameters, as well as individual abundances for a large sample of stars known to have a substellar companion in the brown dwarf regime. The sample is divided into stars hosting "massive" and "low-mass" brown dwarfs. Following previous works a threshold of 42.5 M$_{\rm Jup}$ was considered. Our results confirm that stars with brown dwarf companions do not follow the well-established gas-giant planet metallicity correlation seen in main-sequence planet hosts. Stars harbouring "massive" brown dwarfs show similar metallicity and abundance distribution as stars without known planets or with low-mass planets. We find a tendency of stars harbouring "less-massive" brown dwarfs of having slightly larger metallicity, [X$_{\rm Fe}$/Fe] values, and abundances of Sc II, Mn I, and Ni I in comparison with the stars having the massive brown dwarfs. The data suggest, as previously reported, that massive and low-mass brown dwarfs might present differences in period and eccentricity. We find evidence of a non-metallicity dependent mechanism for the formation of massive brown dwarfs. Our results agree with a scenario in which massive brown dwarfs are formed as stars. At high-metallicities, the core-accretion mechanism might become efficient in the formation of low-mass brown dwarfs while at lower metallicities low-mass brown dwarfs could form by gravitational instability in turbulent protostellar discs.

description: Analyses of the diets of frog species in a range of different habitats have shown that these amphibians feed primarily on arthropods. In general, frogs are not selective predators, but may vary in their capture mode along a continuum between active and passive foraging. In the present study, we assessed the diet of two bromeliad-breeding frogs of the genus Ololygon (= Scinax) through taxonomic and functional identification (trophic guilds). We innovate in use of trophic guilds of frogs’ preys and use the phytophagous consumption as proxy for favoring bromeliads by frogs. We also assessed the potential relationship between the size of the frogs and that of the prey they ingest, whether consumption rates varied seasonally, and the foraging mode. The results indicated a diet composed predominantly of phytophagous arthropods for both Ololygon species (O. littorea and O. perpusilla). Most of the arthropods consumed belonged to the orders Hemiptera, Diptera and Hymenoptera. We found no significant differences among the number of arthropods ingested in the rainy and in the dry seasons in either Ololygon species, nor significant relationship found between the frog size and corresponding prey ingested by individual frogs. The foraging mode of frogs was restricted only to vegetative parts of bromeliads and they did not feed on any potential pollinators. Taken together, these results suggested that frogs may favor the host bromeliad and suggest a potential trophic cascade among frogs, bromeliads, and phytophagous arthropods.

description: Recently, a generalization of the standard optical multiport was proposed [Phys. Rev. A 93, 043845 (2016)]. These directionally unbiased multiports allow photons to reverse direction and exit backwards from the input port, providing a realistic linear optical scattering vertex for quantum walks on arbitrary graph structures. Here, it is shown that arrays of these multiports allow the simulation of a range of discrete-time Hamiltonian systems. Examples are described, including a case where both spatial and internal degrees of freedom are simulated. Because input ports also double as output ports, there is substantial savings of resources compared to feed-forward networks carrying out the same functions. The simulation is implemented in a scalable manner using only linear optics, and can be generalized to higher dimensional systems in a straightforward fashion, thus offering a concrete experimentally achievable implementation of graphical models of discrete-time quantum systems.
