description: Tidal tails are created in major mergers involving disk galaxies. How the tidal tails trace the assembly history of massive galaxies remains to be explored. We identify a sample of 461 merging galaxies with long tidal tails from 35076 galaxies mass-complete at $M_\star\ge 10^{9.5}\,M_{\odot}$ and $0.2\leq z\leq1$ based on HST/ACS F814W imaging data and public catalogs of the COSMOS field. The long tails refer to these with length equal to or longer than the diameter of their host galaxies. The mergers with tidal tails are selected using our novel $A_{\rm O}-D_{\rm O}$ technique for strong asymmetric features together with visual examination. Our results show that the fraction of tidal-tailed mergers evolves mildly with redshift, as $\sim (1+z)^{2.0\pm0.4}$, and becomes relatively higher in less massive galaxies out to $z=1$. With a timescale of 0.5 Gyr for the tidal-tailed mergers, we obtain that the occurrence rate of such mergers follows $0.01\pm 0.007\,(1+z)^{2.3\pm 1.4}$ Gyr$^{-1}$ and corresponds to $\sim0.3$ events since $z=1$ and roughly one-third of the total budget of major mergers from the literature. For disk-involved major mergers, nearly half of them have undergone a phase with long tidal tails

description: The impact of bound states in Landauer-Buttiker scattering approach to non-equilibrium quantum transport is investigated. We show that the noise power at frequency $ν$ is sensitive to all bound states with energies $ω_b$ satisfying $|ω_b| < ν$. We derive the exact expression of the bound state contribution and compare it to the one produced by the scattering states alone. It turns out that the bound states lead to specific modifications of both space and frequency dependence of the total noise power. The theoretical and experimental consequences of this result are discussed.

Intimate cinema: the proxemics of viewing space and a case study of contemporary queer screen texts and youth identity development narratives
Creators: name: Lelli, Rebecca
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Cinema has played an integral role in the formation of queer politics, community, and subjects. The spaces in which we engage with narratives on screen constitute our reception and relation to texts. Whilst the public movie theatre and queer film festivals have been of key importance in the past, the emergence of personal digital devices has shifted viewing spaces and complicated our definition of public/private spaces. This thesis utilises embodied approaches, and Edward T Hall’s theory of Proxemics, to examine the importance of spatial context in film cognition. Through a case study of contemporary queer screen texts, I explore the nuances of space in interaction between viewers and the screen text. LGBTQIA+ youth are now engaging with queer screen texts in intimate spaces. Safely cocooned in bed with their screens, these ‘Intimate Cinemas’ can be constructed by the individual user for specific purposes. This thesis attends to some possible consequences of these new spaces on queer youth identity development and wider queer politics. I have found that, as our understanding of public/private space has shifted, so too have the epistemologies of out/in upon which the closet and queer narrative scripts have been based.

The $γ$-ray sources are positionally coincident with two supernova remnants G338.3$-$0.0 and G338.5+0.1 respectively. A bright complex of HII regions connect the two SNRs and TeV objects. Observations in the CO(1-0) transition lines reveal substantial amounts of diffuse gas positionally coincident with the $γ$-ray sources at multiple velocities along the line of sight, while 7 mm observations in CS, SiO, HC$_{3}$N and CH$_{3}$OH transition lines reveal regions of dense, shocked gas. Archival HI data from the Southern Galactic Plane Survey was used to account for the diffuse atomic gas. Physical parameters of the gas towards the TeV sources were calculated from the data. We find that for a hadronic origin for the $γ$-ray emission, the cosmic-ray enhancement rates are $\sim 10^{3}$ and $10^{2}$ times the local solar value for HESS J1640$-$465 and HESS J1641$-$463 respectively.

From a ministry for youth to a ministry of youth: aspects of Protestant youth ministry in Sydney, 1930-1959
Creators: name: Lukabyo, Ruth
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: In this history of Protestant youth ministry in Sydney, the years 1930-1959 are shown to be a time when significant changes occurred in the way that ministry to youth was conducted.There was a new methodology, a change from a ministry for youth to a ministry of youth. The change came about because of the impact of war and depression, the development of secondary education, the resurgence of Conservative Evangelical theology, the creation of new institutions and the influence of key individuals. This new methodology had certain characteristics which can be seen in ministries in the university, schools and local parishes. It nurtured the leadership of young people and gave them agency. It formed peer groups where young people constructed a robust Christian identity and every member was encouraged to be active in fellowship and witness. It moved towards a co-educational model that fostered a partnership between young men and women. This thesis identifies two different streams of youth ministry, Conservative Evangelical and Liberal Evangelical. The streams used the same methodology, but had different ultimate goals.The Conservative goal was revival through evangelism, and the Liberal was the nurture of Christian character and the Christianisation of civilisation. After the war, the Conservative stream came to predominate. This new model of youth ministry, especially in the Conservative stream, was effective in surviving the challenges of war and heterodox theology. After the war, it flourished, and in the Billy Graham Crusade the fruit of the model is evidenced by the extensive engagement of youth and the many young people who made ‘decisions’ to commit their lives to Christ and the church. The success of this model may help to explain why, despite the challenge of secularisation in the mid-1960s, youth ministry in Sydney is still vibrant today.

description: Outside Class Learning (OCL) in the Bangladeshi context is one of the constantly used buzzwords among graduate and undergraduate students. The purpose of this research is to understand the real and on-ground a phenomenon among adult learners. The study found the characteristics of OCL among tertiary students who are or not motivated to self-learning, the effectiveness of OCL, and the challenges of OCL. This study also tried to answer the questions about OCL whether students like it or not and why. The researcher used both open and close-ended questions to find out the data, and data were collected from forty graduate students of the class of 2014 of the Department of English, University of Dhaka. All the volunteers participated spontaneously and they had been given time as they were required to submit the responses of questionnaire. This empirical study was purely unbiased in findings with unexpected results and responses to open-ended questions about this unexplored way of study.
Study and application of the resonant secular dynamics beyond Neptune

description: We use a secular representation to describe the long-term dynamics of transneptunian objects in mean-motion resonance with Neptune. The model applied is thoroughly described in Saillenfest et al. (2016). The parameter space is systematically explored, showing that the secular trajectories depend little on the resonance order. High-amplitude oscillations of the perihelion distance are reported and localised in the space of the orbital parameters. In particular, we show that a large perihelion distance is not a sufficient criterion to declare that an object is detached from the planets. Such a mechanism, though, is found unable to explain the orbits of Sedna or 2012VP113, which are insufficiently inclined (considering their high perihelion distance) to be possibly driven by such a resonant dynamics. The secular representation highlights the existence of a high-perihelion accumulation zone due to resonances of type 1:k with Neptune. That region is found to be located roughly at semi-major axes in [100;300] AU, perihelion distances in [50;70] AU and inclinations [30;50]°. In addition to the flux of objects directly coming from the Scattered Disc, numerical simulations show that the Oort Cloud is also a substantial source for such objects. Naturally, as that mechanism relies on fragile captures in high-order resonances, our conclusions break down in the case of a significant external perturber. The detection of such a reservoir could thus be an observational constraint to probe the external Solar System.

Control and engineering of optical nonlinearities in multi-level quantum systems

Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: We investigate methods related to achieving interaction between photonic qubits. The first general approach to achieve this is to transfer photonic qubits to solid state systems, where the qubit interactions can then take place. The other approach is to enhance the strength of the photon-photon interaction. -- We first robustly study methods related to the first approach: in particular we focus on how to convert the photonic quantised excitation into an atomic excitation. The Stark-shift-chirped rapid adiabatic passage (SCRAP) technique in a three level Λ-type system is a coherent population transfer (CPT) technique similar to Stimulated Raman Adiabatic Passage (STIRAP), which in itself is closely related to electro-magnetically induced transparency (EIT). SCRAP has been shown to perform CPT with a high delity for a range of different detunings making SCRAP far more robust when there is large inhomogeneous broadenings present in the ensemble. We make use of optimum control techniques in order to optimise the standard SCRAP pulses so as to minimise the decrease in delity brought on by inhomogeneous broadenings of the transitions. Our result is that we can improve the average delity of population transfer over a wide range of detunings for both the ground to excited state detuning and the ground to target state detuning (two-photon detuning). -- Finally we consider the enhancement of photon-photon interactions and the implementation of an optical quantum controlled not (CNOT) gate via a cavity-QED setup. We explore the Nitrogen-vacancy centre in diamond as a suitable four-level tripod system in which to generate the cross-Kerr nonlinearity required to facilitate the strong interaction between the two fields (control and target) held in a cavity. We show that with an ultra-high quality factor cavity, and only a single NV centre strongly coupled to the trapped light, a suffciently large interaction can be generated between the two fields to obtain a conditional phase shift (CPS) in excess of the required π for the successful implementation of a CNOT gate. We also show that it is possible to use this system to create an entangled state of two macroscopically distinguishable states, that is a Schrödinger cat state, by using two weak coherent fields as input and making a measurement on the second field.

description: We investigate baryon number fluctuations for finite temperature and density in two-flavor QCD. This is done within a QCD-improved low-energy effective theory in an extension of the approach put forward in [1,2]. In the present work we aim at improving the predictive power of this approach for large temperatures and density, that is, for small collision energies. This is achieved by taking into account the full frequency dependence of the quark dispersion. This ensures the necessary Silver Blaze property of finite density QCD for the first time, which so far was only implemented approximately. Moreover, we show that Polyakov loop fluctuations have a sizeable impact at large temperatures and density. The results for the kurtosis of baryon number fluctuations are compared to previous effective theory results, lattice results and recent experimental data from STAR.

description: BRIKEN is a complex detection system to be installed at the RIB-facility of the RIKEN Nishina Center. It is aimed at the detection of heavy-ion implants, $β$-particles, $γ$-rays and $β$-delayed neutrons. The whole detection setup involves the Advanced Implantation Detection Array (AIDA), two HPGe Clover detectors and a large set of 166 counters of 3He embedded in a high-density polyethylene matrix. This article reports on a novel methodology developed for the conceptual design and optimisation of the 3He-tubes array, aiming at the best possible performance in terms of neutron detection. The algorithm is based on a geometric representation of two selected parameters of merit, namely, average neutron detection efficiency and efficiency flatness, as a function of a reduced number of geometric variables. The response of the detection system itself, for each configuration, is obtained from a systematic MC-simulation implemented realistically in Geant4. This approach has been found to be particularly useful. On the one hand, due to the different types and large number of 3He-tubes involved and, on the other hand, due to the additional constraints introduced by the ancillary detectors for charged particles and gamma-rays. Empowered by the robustness of the algorithm, we have been able to design a versatile detection system, which can be easily re-arranged into a compact mode in order to maximize the neutron detection performance, at the cost of the gamma-ray sensitivity. In summary, we have designed a system which shows, for neutron energies up to 1(5) MeV, a rather flat and high average efficiency of 68.6%(64%) and 75.7%(71%) for the hybrid and compact modes, respectively. The performance of the BRIKEN system has been also quantified realistically by means of MC-simulations made with different neutron energy distributions.

Reporting armistice: a diachronic, functional perspective
Creators: name: Scott, Claire Emily
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis presents an investigation of diachronic consistency and variation in the register of newspaper reports. The data are instances of the register from The Sydney Morning Herald, reporting the conclusions of seven major wars in Australia's history from 1902 to 2003: the Boer War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and the Iraq War. The study has two primary motivations: an interest in texts that construe the social contexts of the past and what they indicate about contemporary language and culture; and an interest in exploring changes in social context and how these can be managed using current linguistic tools based on the concept of 'register'. -- The research is interdisciplinary in that, as well as being a primarily linguistic enquiry, it is also an investigation of culture in history, insofar as the linguistic investigation can illuminate historical context. It is a study of the patterns of interaction between the Herald as an institution and the people of Sydney as its readers, and the cultural history of how Sydneysiders have experienced war and armistice through the media. Thus, as far as culture is a major part of the context of a text, this investigation addresses the problem of describing, and ascribing relevance to, contextual variables in a diachronic set of texts. -- The eight chapters of the thesis present a multistratal, functional analysis of the texts as instances of register, using the framework of systemic functional linguistics (SFL). Through the analysis of context, semantics, and lexicogrammar, the thesis identifies both consistency and variation among the texts. It is argued, following Hasan (2004), that the lexicogrammatical and semantic consistency through which the texts can be identified as instances of a register is motivated by consistency in the context at a primary degree of delicacy, while variation among the texts is motivated by contextual shifts captured at greater degrees of delicacy across the strata. In particular, the analysis shows that different ways of orienting to time, space, and news information in the texts construe diachronically different contextual calibrations, particularly in relation to (1) the content and function of the news, (2) the role of the journalist, and (3) the role of technology in news production. The thesis highlights the need for further elaboration of registerial concepts and tools in order that more delicate distinctions between texts from different diachronic states might be inferred.

Percolation in binary and ternary mixtures of patchy colloids

description: We investigate percolation in binary and ternary mixtures of patchy colloidal particles theoretically and using Monte Carlo simulations. Each particle has three identical patches, with distinct species having different types of patch. Theoretically we assume tree-like clusters and calculate the bonding probabilities using Wertheim's first-order perturbation theory for association. For ternary mixtures we find up to eight fundamentally different percolated states. The states differ in terms of the species and pairs of species that have percolated. The strongest gel is a trigel or tricontinuous gel, in which each of the three species has percolated. The weakest gel is a mixed gel in which all of the particles have percolated, but none of the species percolates by itself. The competition between entropy of mixing and internal energy of bonding determines the stability of each state. Theoretical and simulation results are in very good agreement. The only significant difference is the temperature at the percolation threshold, which is overestimated by the theory due to the absence of closed loops in the theoretical description.

description: Public lecture at the Knowledge Equity and Justice Spring Seminar, 17 May 2022, organized by Stacy Allison-Cassin and SPARC Since the early 2010s, more than half of peer-reviewed journal articles have been published by the so-called oligopoly of academic publishers: Elsevier, SAGE, Springer-Nature, Taylor & Francis and Wiley. These companies make immense profits from publishing scholarly journals, traditionally through subscriptions from academic libraries, the reader pays model. With more and more libraries cancelling so-called ‘Big Deals’, these publishers have expanded their revenues by making authors pay article processing charges (APCs) for open access (OA) publishing. The author-pays model creates inequities and barriers that exclude many from publishing, such as underrepresented groups or researchers from less-resourced countries. This presentation demonstrates the growth of gold and hybrid OA articles published in oligopoly journals indexed in the Web of Science and provides evidence of the amount of APCs paid in Canada and globally. It highlights the inequities of the author-pays model and discusses alternative routes to OA.

Emotion recognition in mild cognitive impairment
Creators: name: McCade, Donna
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The aims of this research were firstly, to investigate whether emotion recognition abilities differ amongst Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) subtypes and secondly, to explore the real-life implications of emotion recognition deficits in MCI patients. In Study 1, 19 MCI patients with predominantly impaired memory (i.e., amnestic MCI; aMCI), 18 MCI patients with non-memory deficits (i.e., non-amnestic MCI; naMCI) and 19 age- and education-matched healthy control subjects were assessed with three emotion recognition tests differing in task demands (i.e., the provision of response prompts, facial or bodily displays of affect). Emotion recognition deficits were shown for aMCI, but not naMCI, patients regardless of task demands, with anger recognition selectively impaired. In Study 2, the emotion recognition abilities of 29 aMCI patients, 27 naMCI patients, and 22 control subjects were assessed. Self-report measures assessed subject functional disability, whilst informants rated caregiver burden. An emotion recognition deficit for anger was evident again for the amnestic subtype. Whilst patient groups reported greater social dysfunction than control subjects, a relationship between social functioning and anger recognition was evident only for naMCI patients. Caregiver burden and anger recognition were significantly associated for aMCI patients. Results suggest that impaired emotion recognition abilities are differentially affected in MCI subtypes potentially reflecting diverse degeneration of brain structures modulating emotional processing. Screening to detect emotion recognition impairment in MCI patients and interventions targeted at patients and caregivers is warranted.
Synthesis of passive lossless metasurfaces using auxiliary fields for reflectionless beam splitting and perfect reflection

description: We introduce a paradigm for accurate design of metasurfaces for intricate beam manipulation, implementing functionalities previously considered impossible to achieve with passive lossless elements. The key concept involves self-generation of auxiliary evanescent fields which facilitate the required local power conservation, without interfering with the device performance in the far field. We demonstrate our scheme by presenting exact reactive solutions to the challenging problems of reflectionless beam splitting and perfect reflection, verified via full wave simulations.

Norms, interests and humanitarian intervention
Creators: name: Glanville, Luke
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: A number of Constructivist and English school scholars have investigated the degree to which humanitarian intervention is allowed and legitimised by international society. In other words, they have examined the nature and strength of a norm permitting humanitarian intervention. It is the contention of this dissertation that another norm of humanitarian intervention - parallel but discrete - has been neglected. It is argued that ideas and beliefs shared by members of international society not only permit intervention but prescribe it in certain circumstances and this has been largely ignored in the literature.
A note on connected formula for form factors

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this note we study the connected prescription, originally derived from Witten's twistor string theory, for tree-level form factors in ${\cal N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills theory. The construction is based on the recently proposed four-dimensional scattering equations with $n$ massless on-shell states and one off-shell state, which we expect to work for form factors of general operators. To illustrate the universality of the prescription, we propose compact formulas for super form factors with chiral stress-tensor multiplet operator, and bosonic ones with scalar operators ${\rm Tr}(ϕ^m)$ for arbitrary $m$.

description: The question of “who is a journalist?” has animated much discussion in journalism scholarship. Such discussions generally stem from the intersecting technological, economic, and social transformations journalism has faced in the twenty-first century. An equally relevant aspect, albeit one that has hitherto been less studied, is what a journalist looks like. Some studies have tackled this through, for example, examining depictions of journalists in popular culture, but artificial intelligence understandings of what a journalist is and what they look like have yet to receive research attention. While AI-enabled generative art has existed since the late 1990s, the ease and accessibility of these processes has greatly been boosted by providers like Midjourney which emerged since the 2020s and allow those without programming skills to easily create algorithmic images from text prompts. This study analyzes 84 images generated by AI from four “generic” keywords (“journalist,” “reporter,” “correspondent,” and “the press”) and three “specialized” ones (“news analyst,” “news commentator,” and “fact-checker”) over a six-month period. The results reveal an uneven distribution of gender and digital technology between the generic and specialized roles and prompt reflection on how AI perpetuates extant biases in the social world.
Regenerative Soot: A cusp field, graphite hollow cathode, carbon cluster ion source

description: An all carbon hollow cathode ion source with a specially designed cusp magnetic field Bz as a function of radius and theta is described. Velocity spectra from this source has shown that carbon cluster synthesis is taking place as a function of the source design, discharge parameters and the state of sooting. The cusp magnetic field seems to establish two distinct discharge regions within the source. The first is a narrow annular ring that is 2 mm thick and 15-20 mm long with restricted axial and radial extent of the cusp field. Here the source gas ionizes. The carbon atoms sputter of the cathode walls and subsequently get ionized. The other one is a cylindrical plasma region with the entire axial range of Bz. In this region the dynamics of the soot formation from the plasma constituent on the cathode walls seems to be related to the carbon clustering processes

description: We identify a generic class of two dimensional nonstandard Hamiltonian systems which exhibit isochronous behaviour. This class of systems belongs to the two dimensional mixed Liénard- type equations and is obtained by generalizing the scalar modified Emden equation (MEE) to two dimensions. We show that the generalized class of equations admits a Hamiltonian description and exhibits periodic and quasi-periodic oscillations for suitable choice of parameters and also $\emph PT$ symmetric property.

The nature of free will

description: There is more than one problem of free will. Many philosophers approach the free will question seeking a foundation for systems of ethics or a justification for societal practices of praise and blame. ... Rather, I address the metaphysical question of how to accommodate free will within the natural world. I conclude that the natural world is not identical with the physical world and that it must contain entities or influences that are not physical in any current sense of that word.
Topological Defects and nano-Hz Gravitational Waves in Aligned Axion Models

description: We study the formation and evolution of topological defects in an aligned axion model with multiple Peccei-Quinn scalars, where the QCD axion is realized by a certain combination of the axions with decay constants much smaller than the conventional Peccei-Quinn breaking scale. When the underlying U(1) symmetries are spontaneously broken, the aligned structure in the axion field space exhibits itself as a complicated string-wall network in the real space. We find that the string-wall network likely survives until the QCD phase transition if the number of the Peccei-Quinn scalars is greater than two. The string-wall system collapses during the QCD phase transition, producing a significant amount of gravitational waves in the nano-Hz range at present. The typical decay constant is constrained to be below O(100) TeV by the pulsar timing observations, and the constraint will be improved by a factor of 2 in the future SKA observations.
