title: The effect of climate change on Antarctic microphytobenthic biofilm communities
Creators: name: Black, JG
Publisher: name: University of Tasmania
Year: 2020

description: The International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicts that by the year 2100, the oceans will be more acidic (lower by ~ 0.4 pH) and 2 — 3°C warmer under a “business as usual” (RCP 8.5) scenario. These changing environmental drivers may have a synergistic effect on some marine organisms, with changes expected to substantially alter the structure of most marine communities. However, there is a paucity of data on in-situ responses of diatoms in the Microphytobenthos (MPB) to ocean acidification (OA) and climate change. Therefore, the aim of the present thesis was to study the responses of diatoms to climate change to determine; 1) behavioural, photosynthetic and physiological responses of diatoms to climate change, 2) biological feedback mechanisms of diatoms on carbonate chemistry and 3) diatom community responses to climate change. The present thesis used a combination of field and mesocosm laboratory experiments that utilised complete marine communities in Free Ocean Carbon dioxide Enrichment (FOCE) style experiments. In these experiments, measures of diatom behaviour, photo-physiology, and MPB community composition are used to assess impacts of climate change. MPB were found to have a preference for OA with Photo-tactileresponse (PTR) increasing which increased photosynthetic yield (ɸPSII). However, once temperature increases (2—3 °C) and OA were combined, MPB yield (ɸPSII) decreased, especially as temperature increases moved outside the MPB’s thermal tolerance zone (TTZ). Important biological buffering feedbacks from MPB on carbonate chemistry were also identified, which under some circumstances may decrease the OA severity on other members of the community. Substantial changes in diatom community composition were also identified, however diatom communities had a differential response to OA, resulting in only some diatom species showing positive responses to OA. The overall conclusions for MPB ecosystems being that if temperature increases are within an autotrophic organism’s TTZ, then the photosynthetic performance will increase under OA, resulting in higher primary production. However, if temperature increases move outside of an autotrophic organism’s TTZ then we should expect to see a decrease in primary production. Therefore, under the “business as usual” scenario of climate change predicted for the year 2100, it is expected that MPB ecosystems will likely undergo changes in community composition and be negatively affected.

title: Oligodendrocytes modulate and maintain circuit function in the adult central nervous system
Creators: name: Pepper, RE
Publisher: name: University of Tasmania
Year: 2020

description: Within the central nervous system (CNS), cells of the oligodendrocyte lineage are critical regulators of circuit function. Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) generate oligodendrocytes that elaborate myelin membrane to ensheath discrete axon segments, effectively reducing axonal capacitance and enabling the saltatory conduction of action potentials. However, their role in circuit regulation does not stop there. Herein, we detail the maturation of OPCs into pre-myelinating and myelinating oligodendrocytes and outline how each cell type can influence neural network construction, operation and plasticity to ensurehealthy CNS function.

description: Many systems of interest in science and engineering are made up of interacting subsystems. These subsystems, in turn, could be made up of collections of smaller interacting subsystems and so on. In a series of papers David Spivak with collaborators formalized these kinds of structures (systems of systems) as algebras over presentable colored operads. It is also very useful to consider maps between dynamical systems, which in effect amounts to viewing dynamical systems as objects in an appropriate category. This is the point of view taken by DeVille and Lerman in the study of dynamics on networks. The goal of this paper is to describe an algebraic structure that encompasses both approaches to systems of systems. This allows us, on one hand, build new large open systems out of collections of smaller open subsystems and on the other keep track of maps between open systems. Consequently we obtain synchrony results for open systems which generalize the synchrony results of Golubitsky, Stewart and their collaborators for groupoid invariant vector fields on coupled cell networks.

description: We study linear statistics of a class of determinantal processes which interpolate between Poisson and GUE/Ginibre statistics in dimension 1 or 2. These processes are obtained by performing an independent Bernoulli percolation on the particle configuration of of a log-gas confined in a general potential. We show that, depending on the expected number of deleted particles, there is a universal transition for mesoscopic statistics. Namely, at small scales, the point process still behaves according to random matrix theory, while, at large scales, it needs to be renormalized because the variance of any linear statistic diverges. The crossover is explicitly characterized as the superposition of a H^{1/2}- or H^1- correlated Gaussian noise and an independent Poisson process. The proof consists in computing the limits of the cumulants of linear statistics using the asymptotics of the correlation kernel of the process.

description: Edge shear flow and its effect on regulating turbulent transport have long been suspected to play an important role in plasmas operating near the Greenwald density limit $ n_G $. In this study, equilibrium profiles as well as the turbulent particle flux and Reynolds stress across the separatrix in the HL-2A tokamak are examined as $ n_G $ is approached in ohmic L-mode discharges. As the normalized line-averaged density $ \bar{n}_e/n_G $ is raised, the shearing rate of the mean poloidal flow $ ω_{\rm sh} $ drops, and the turbulent drive for the low-frequency zonal flow (the Reynolds power $ \mathcal{P}_{Re} $) collapses. Correspondingly, the turbulent particle transport increases drastically with increasing collision rates. The geodesic acoustic modes (GAMs) gain more energy from the ambient turbulence at higher densities, but have smaller shearing rate than low-frequency zonal flows. The increased density also introduces decreased adiabaticity which not only enhances the particle transport but is also related to a reduction in the eddy-tilting and the Reynolds power. Both effects may lead to the cooling of edge plasmas and therefore the onset of MHD instabilities that limit the plasma density.
title: Teachers’ decision-making with respect to evidence-based practices for students with autism spectrum disorder
Creators: name: Garrad, T-A
Publisher: name: University of Tasmania
Year: 2020

description: Teachers have been criticised for their inconsistent use of evidence-based practice (EBP) when working with students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, a lack of training about what constitutes an EBP has hindered teachers' abilities to adopt the most appropriate approaches to meet the specific needs of their students. Deficient guidance and training have also resulted in the cessation of their use. In response to these issues, this thesis sought to explore teachers' decision-making processes regarding EBP concerning students with ASD to identify criteria that may be used to guide decision-making about the adoption and maintenance of EBP in Australian mainstream schools. Given the perceived gap in the literature exploring decision-making in this context, a new survey tool was created to measure the importance of a range of criteria impacting teachers' decision-making regarding the adoption and cessation of EBP. The resulting Evidence-Based Practice Innovation Adoption Survey (EBPIAS) was then made available to Australian primary school teachers for completion. Overall, teachers were found to be adopting EBP based on the individual needs of their students with ASD; similarly, cessation was reported to be because the EBP did not meet the needs of students. A possible reason for this outcome was due to teachers' reported difficulty with implementing EBP within the classroom. Historically, these difficulties have been attributed to insufficient or inadequate levels of specialist training. However, teachers rated training as one of the least important criteria in the decision to adopt EBP. These findings suggest that teachers need to better understand the importance of specialist training and implementation requirements of practices to ensure the adoption and maintenance of EBP. Communications of EBP need to highlight how the EBP supports the needs of students with ASD as well as bringing more considerable attention to the training and implementation procedures required. The intention is to better support higher adoption rates of effective EBP while decreasing cessation rates. As such, the findings of the survey could inform how EBP needs to be promoted and communicated to teachers.

description: Many puzzling properties of high-$T_c$ superconducting (HTSC) copper oxides have deep roots in the nature of the antinodal quasiparticles, the elementary excitations with wavevector parallel to the Cu-O bonds. These electronic states are most affected by the onset of antiferromagnetic correlations and charge instabilities and they host the maximum of the anisotropic superconducting gap and pseudogap. In this work, we use time-resolved extreme-ultra-violet (EUV) photoemission with proper photon energy (18 eV) and time-resolution (50 fs) to disclose the ultrafast dynamics of the antinodal states in a prototypical HTSC cuprate. After photoinducing a non-thermal charge redistribution within the Cu and O orbitals, we reveal a dramatic momentum-space differentiation of the transient electron dynamics. While the nodal quasi-particle distribution is heated up as in a conventional metal, new quasiparticle states transiently emerge at the antinodes, similarly to what is expected for a photoexcited Mott insulator, where the frozen charges can be released by an impulsive excitation. This transient antinodal metallicity is mapped into the dynamics of the O-2$p$ bands thus directly demonstrating the intertwining between the low- and high-energy scales that is typical of correlated materials. Our results suggest that the correlation-driven freezing of the electrons moving along the Cu-O bonds, analogous to the Mott localization mechanism, constitutes the starting point for any model of high-$T_c$ superconductivity and other exotic phases of HTSC cuprates.
Encoded heritage : data practices and racial equity in historic preservation, Texas, 1953–1999

description: In the history of historic preservation in Texas, and nationally, the creation and keeping of architectural surveys, inventories and historical registers have been key components of the process to identify and document historic places. However, while these heritage data practices have been called "the Alpha and the Omega" of preservation, little research has been done to foreground and critically analyze these data practices, especially those of federal, state and local preservations over the last half of the 20th century as America’s national preservation efforts professionalized and matured within the midst of concurrent turbulent battles for civil rights and racial equity. This dissertation uses an interdisciplinary approach that merges GIS analysis, data studies and archival research to critically analyze how preservationists since 1953 in Texas competed for and collaborated on the production of authorized heritage data as acts of both knowledge gate-keeping and knowledge gate-breaching. This research finds that while earlier state data practitioners in Texas excluded or distorted Black history, later state practitioners starting in the 1960s developed new data techniques, architectural ontologies and, importantly, local collaborations with underrepresented communities that led to increased racial equity and representation in the state data repository of historic sites. Ultimately, this dissertation provides a critical methodological framework for decoding and interpreting legacy heritage data within its social-technical contexts of creation that can be adapted to the study of heritage data practices around the world.

We prove a slice theorem for the action of this Lie group on the space of generalized metrics. As an application, we show that the moduli space of generalized metrics is stratified by ILH submanifolds and relate it to the moduli space of usual metrics. Finally, we extend these results to odd exact Courant algebroids.

title: Creativity, resilience and early career teachers
Creators: name: McCarthy, RJ
Publisher: name: University of Tasmania
Year: 2020

description: Creativity. Resilience. Early Career Teachers. On the surface, three disparate concepts that have independently and deservingly drawn focus in related fields of research including psychology and education. However, there is only limited literature that draws together all three concepts, particularly in terms of understanding the relationships between resilience and creativity in the work environments and practice of Early Career Teachers (ECTs) who teach in generalist primary classrooms in Tasmania. In order to understand the experiences of the ECT participants and how these relationships inform their beliefs and in turn practice, I have taken a narrative inquiry approach to both the phenomenon being studied and in reporting the data. In this thesis I introduce five ECTs who generously shared their stories with me to illustrate the ways resilience and creativity are understood by them and how their practice is informed by being both resilient and creative. Data were collected through both theoretical and practical discussion processes as well as artefact elicitation and are reported as narrative life portraits that reflect the unique perspectives of each. In turn, the portraits illustrate the interplay between resilience, creativity and the work of the ECT. This study will be of interest to and have implications for educational researchers, education policy makers, teacher educators, school leaders and classroom teachers.

description: In this long overdue second installment, we continue to develop the conformal bootstrap program for ${\mathcal N}=4$ superconformal field theories in four dimensions via an analysis of the correlation function of four stress-tensor supermultiplets. We review analytic results for this correlator and make contact with the SCFT/chiral algebra correspondence of arXiv:1312.5344. We demonstrate that the constraints of unitarity and crossing symmetry require the central charge $c$ to be greater than or equal to $3/4$ in any interacting ${\mathcal N}=4$ SCFT. We apply numerical bootstrap methods to derive upper bounds on scaling dimensions and OPE coefficients for several low-lying, unprotected operators as a function of the central charge. We interpret our bounds in the context of ${\mathcal N}=4$ super Yang-Mills (SYM) theories, formulating a series of conjectures regarding the embedding of the conformal manifold --- parametrized by the complexified gauge coupling --- into the space of scaling dimensions and OPE coefficients. Our conjectures assign a distinguished role to points on the conformal manifold that are self-dual under a subgroup of the S-duality group. This paper contains a more detailed exposition of a number of results previously reported in arXiv:1304.1803 in addition to new results.

Using this symmetry, new cases of duality appear and some examples are given. This generalization may provide insights to understand the quantum features of Poisson-Lie T-duality, in a more satisfactory way.

description: We show how the use of standard perturbative RG in dimensional regularization allows for a renormalization group based computation of both the spectrum and a family of coefficients of the operator product expansion (OPE) for a given universality class. The task is greatly simplified by a straightforward generalization of perturbation theory to a functional perturbative RG approach. We illustrate our procedure in the $ε$-expansion by obtaining the next-to-leading corrections for the spectrum and the leading corrections for the OPE coefficients of Ising and Lee-Yang universality classes and then give several results for the whole family of renormalizable multicritical models $ϕ^{2n}$. Whenever comparison is possible our RG results explicitly match the ones recently derived in CFT frameworks.

description: We present microlensing events in the 2015 Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet) data and our procedure for identifying these events. In particular, candidates were detected with a novel "completed event" microlensing event-finder algorithm. The algorithm works by making linear fits to a (t0,teff,u0) grid of point-lens microlensing models. This approach is rendered computationally efficient by restricting u0 to just two values (0 and 1), which we show is quite adequate. The implementation presented here is specifically tailored to the commission-year character of the 2015 data, but the algorithm is quite general and has already been applied to a completely different (non-KMTNet) data set. We outline expected improvements for 2016 and future KMTNet data. The light curves of the 660 "clear microlensing" and 182 "possible microlensing" events that were found in 2015 are presented along with our policy for their public release.

description: We perform Monte Carlo simulations of transrelativistic shear acceleration dedicated to a jet-cocoon system of active galactic nuclei. A certain fraction of galactic cosmic rays in a halo is entrained, and sufficiently high-energy particles can be injected to the reacceleration process and further accelerated up to 100 EeV. We show that the shear reacceleration mechanism leads to a hard spectrum of escaping cosmic rays, $dL_E/dE\propto E^{-1}-E^0$, distinct from a conventional $E^{-2}$ spectrum. The supersolar abundance of ultrahigh-energy nuclei is achieved due to injections at TeV-PeV energies. As a result, we find that the highest-energy spectrum and mass composition can be reasonably explained by our model without contradictions with the anisotropy data.

description: $α$-RuCl$_3$ is a leading candidate material for theobservation of physics related to the Kitaev quantum spin liquid (QSL). By combined susceptibility, specific-heat, and nuclear-magnetic-resonance measurements, we demonstrate that $α$-RuCl$_3$ undergoes a quantum phase transition to a QSL in a magnetic field of 7.5 T applied in the $ab$ plane. We show further that this high-field QSL phase has gapless spin excitations over a field range up to 16 T. This highly unconventional result, unknown in either Heisenberg or Kitaev magnets, offers insight essential to establishing the physics of $α$-RuCl$_3$.

title: Protocadherin 15 modulates oligodendrocyte progenitor cell proliferation and contact-mediated self-repulsion through two distinct signalling pathways
Creators: name: Zhen, Y
Publisher: name: University of Tasmania
Year: 2020

description: Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) comprise the largest proliferating cell population in the healthy, adult brain. Dysregulation of OPCs has been associated with the formation of pediatric and adult gliomas. The purpose of this research is to understand: how non-clustered protocadherins (Pcdhs) allow OPCs to maintain their even distribution throughout the central nervous system (CNS); whether nonclustered Pcdhs regulate OPC proliferation and the generation of new oligodendrocytes (OLs) throughout life, and whether the dysregulation of nonclustered Pcdh signalling can initiate glioma formation. Pcdh15 is a member of the cadherin superfamily of transmembrane proteins that mediate calcium-dependent cell adhesion. In chapter 1, I review literature related to the development and function of OPCs in the CNS, and outline key genes that are expressed by OPCs, including protocadherin 15 (Pcdh15). In neurons, various members of the protocadherin superfamily regulate neuron survival, neurite outgrowth and distribution. Pcdh15 is particularly critical for mechanoelectrical transduction in auditory hair cells and specific genetic variants in Pcdh15 result in the development of Usher syndrome. However, microarray and RNA sequencing data show that Pcdh15 mRNA is highly expressed by OPCs in the healthy CNS and its expression within gliomas predicts tumour aggression. Therefore, I also review the functional importance of protocadherin family members, including Pcdh15 in regulating glial cell function in the CNS. In Chapter 2, I demonstrate that OPCs express Pcdh15 and investigate the role of Pcdh15 in regulating OPCs function. More specifically, I demonstrate that Pcdh15 is critical for OPC proliferation and contact-mediated signalling between adjacent OPCs that influences the distribution of these cells and has implications for glioma formation. Using in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry we have shown that OPCs and OLs express Pcdh15 mRNA and Pcdh15 protein. Using an shRNA-mediated gene knockdown approach, we show that a decrease in Pcdh15 expression triggers a significant increase in OPC proliferation in vitro, and that this is dependent on the increased activation of extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK). Moreover, reducing Pcdh15 expression significantly alters interactions between adjacent OPCs. Specifically, Pcdh15 knockdown affects actin polymerization at OPC processes. This manifests as increased filopodial contact time and a reduced frequency of lamellipodial extrusion and retraction (increased veiling time). The number of lamellipodia-like processes produced by each OPC is also markedly reduced. Unlike OPC proliferation, these changes were not affected by ERK activation, but by changing the expression of the cdc42/Rac1 - Arp2/3 complex.

description: This paper represents an elaboration of the lectures delivered by one of us (CAF) during "Course 197 -- Foundations of Quantum Physics" at the International School of Physics "Enrico Fermi" in Varenna, Italy, July 2016. Much of the material for it is drawn from arXiv:1003.5209, arXiv:1401.7254, and arXiv:1405.2390. However there are substantial additions of original material in Sections 4, 7, 8 and 9, along with clarifications and expansions of the older content throughout. Topics include the meaning of subjective probability; no-cloning, teleportation, and quantum tomography from the subjectivist Bayesian perspective; the message QBism receives from Bell inequality violations (namely, that nature is creative); the import of symmetric informationally complete (SIC) quantum measurements for the technical side of QBism; quantum cosmology QBist-style; and a potential meaning for the holographic principle within QBism.

title: Editing and performance of selected works for bassoon from the Sing-Akademie zu Berlin archive
Creators: name: Walters, SF
Publisher: name: University of Tasmania
Year: 2020

description: The rediscovery of the Sing-Akademie of Berlin manuscript collection in Kiev and its eventual repatriation in 2001, has had a significant impact upon music scholarship. In addition to discoveries of new sources from leading composers, the collection sheds light on the output of more obscure composers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Among the 5,100 autograph scores and manuscript copies are a number of mid-eighteenth-century works featuring obbligato bassoon. This doctoral research has focused on five unpublished works from the collection: a Trio for Oboe, Bassoon and Continuo attributed to Telemann; a Quartet for Oboe, Violin, Bassoon and Violoncello by Christian Gottfried Krause, and three compositions of Johann Christian Roellig—a Concerto for Bassoon and two Partitas featuring obbligato Bassoon. This research has been conducted to enable and inform performances of these works included in the folio that forms part of this submission. Critical editions were prepared based on manuscripts now held in the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin–Preußischer Kulturbesitz enabling the first modern performances of these works presented throughout four public recitals on period instruments. The critical editions are included as appendices to the exegesis, which contextualises the research underpinning these outcomes. The exegesis provides an overview of the provenance of the manuscripts, the editorial process, and discusses the musical style and historically informed interpretation of these newly discovered works as documented in the folio recordings. Outcomes include insights into mid-eighteenth-century performance practices and original findings relating to the identification of the primary source material of the two Partitas by Johann Christian Roellig. These five new critical editions constitute an important contribution to the bassoon repertoire. The world premiere recordings included in this thesis vi demonstrate historically informed interpretations and new insights into performing practice that will inspire further performances, advocating for their return to the repertory.
