description: We investigate adiabatic frequency conversion using epsilon near zero (ENZ) materials and show that while the maximum frequency conversion for a given change of permittivity does not exhibit increase in the vicinity of ε=0 condition. However, that change can be achieved in a shorter length, and if the pump is also in the ENZ vicinity, at a lower pump intensity. This slow propagation effect makes the conversion efficiency in the ENZ material comparable to that in microresonators and other structured slow light schemes, but unlike the latter no nanofabrication is required for ENZ materials which constitutes their major advantage over alternative frequency conversion approaches.

Polymer representation of the Bianchi IX Cosmology in the Misner variables

description: We analyze the Bianchi IX Universe in the Polymer Quantum Mechanics framework by facing both semiclassical and purely quantum effects near the cosmological singularity. We adopt Misner variables to describe the model dynamics, applying the polymer paradigm simultaneously to the isotropic one (linked to the Universe volume) and to the two anisotropy ones (characterizing the physical gravitational degrees of freedom). Setting two different cut-off scales for the two different variable sets, i.e. the geometrical volume and the gravity tensor modes, we demonstrate how the semiclassical properties of the Bianchi IX dynamics are sensitive to the ratio of the cut-off parameters. In particular, the semiclassical evolution turns out to be chaotic only if the parameter associated to the volume discretization is greater or equal to that one of the anisotropies. Concerning the chaotic case we perform a purely quantum polymer analysis, demonstrating that the original Misner result about the existence of quasi-classical states near the singularity (in the sense of high occupation numbers) is still valid in the revised approach and able to account for cut-off physics effects. The possibility for a comparison with the original study by Misner is possible because the singularity is still present in the semiclassical evolution of the cosmological model for all the parameter space. We interpret this surprising feature as the consequence of a geometrical volume discretization which does not prevent the volume from vanishing, i.e. restoring in the Minisuperspace analysis its zero value.

description: We estimate the metallicity in the broad emission-line region of the redshift z=4.16 quasar, BR2248-1242, by comparing line ratios involving nitrogen to theoretical predictions. BR2248-1242 has unusually narrow emission lines with large equivalent widths, thus providing a rare opportunity to measure several line-ratio abundance diagnostics. The combined diagnostics indicate a metallicity of ~2 times solar. This result suggests that an episode of vigorous star formation occurred near BR2248-1242 prior to the observed z=4.16 epoch. The time available for this enrichment episode is only ~1.5 Gyr at z=4.16 (for H_{0}=65 km s^-1 Mpc^-1, Omega_{m}=0.3 and Omega_Lambda ~< 1). This evidence for high metallicities and rapid star formation is consistent with the expected early-epoch evolution of dense galactic nuclei.

description: The McDonald's model of labour management has been widely adopted throughout the fast food industry. Literature that is critical of fast food labour management policy and practice often portrays employers as offering work that is low paid, unchallenging and uninteresting. However, others argue that the industry provides young workers with: a first resume entry, training opportunities, the chance to develop a career and a path into employment. This study interprets these two perspectives as reflecting either misalignment or alignment of employee/crew and employer preferences. Such an interpretation recognises that fast food work does not represent a career for many who do it but is short term or 'stop-gap' in nature. The study's research question is: to what extent does management preference for elements of work align with the preferred working arrangements of crew at McDonald's Australia? This research subjects McDonald's Australian stores to independent scrutiny. Previous research in this area has mostly used qualitative methods. Earlier studies, by and large, provide descriptive accounts of fast food employment however they often lack the rigour of an empirical investigation. The present research uses a structured survey method to obtain data from crew and managers. Results are analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings focus on three areas of labour management: industrial relations, work organisation and human resource management. Several themes relating to alignment of preferences in the fast food employment relationship are identified. These are: crew have scant knowledge of industrial relations, do not like aspects of work organisation, but respond positively to certain human resource management policies and practices; crew lack knowledge of labour management issues generally; crew work is simple and repetitive; and, many young crew seem to dislike aspects of fast food work as they get older but others, who have distinctive characteristics, appear to continue to like the McDonald's approach as they age.

description: Time Series Classification (TSC) has seen enormous progress over the last two decades. HIVE-COTE (Hierarchical Vote Collective of Transformation-based Ensembles) is the current state of the art in terms of classification accuracy. HIVE-COTE recognizes that time series data are a specific data type for which the traditional attribute-value representation, used predominantly in machine learning, fails to provide a relevant representation. HIVE-COTE combines multiple types of classifiers: each extracting information about a specific aspect of a time series, be it in the time domain, frequency domain or summarization of intervals within the series. However, HIVE-COTE (and its predecessor, FLAT-COTE) is often infeasible to run on even modest amounts of data. For instance, training HIVE-COTE on a dataset with only 1,500 time series can require 8 days of CPU time. It has polynomial runtime with respect to the training set size, so this problem compounds as data quantity increases. We propose a novel TSC algorithm, TS-CHIEF (Time Series Combination of Heterogeneous and Integrated Embedding Forest), which rivals HIVE-COTE in accuracy but requires only a fraction of the runtime. TS-CHIEF constructs an ensemble classifier that integrates the most effective embeddings of time series that research has developed in the last decade. It uses tree-structured classifiers to do so efficiently. We assess TS-CHIEF on 85 datasets of the University of California Riverside (UCR) archive, where it achieves state-of-the-art accuracy with scalability and efficiency. We demonstrate that TS-CHIEF can be trained on 130k time series in 2 days, a data quantity that is beyond the reach of any TSC algorithm with comparable accuracy.

description: The existence of the molecular ion $H_3^{++}$ in a magnetic field in a triangular configuration is revised. Variational method with an optimization of the form of the vector potential (gauge fixing) is used. It is shown that in the range of magnetic fields $10^8 < B < 10^{11} G$ the system $(pppe)$, with protons forming an equilateral triangle perpendicular to magnetic line, has a well-pronounced minimum in the total energy. This configuration is unstable towards decays $H{-atom} + p + p$ and $H_2^+ + p$. Triangular configuration of $H_3^{++}$ complements $H_3^{++}$ in the linear configuration which exists for $B \gtrsim 10^{10} G$.

description: We study correlation functions with multiple averaged null energy (ANEC) operators in conformal field theories. For large $N$ CFTs with a large gap to higher spin operators, we show that the OPE between a local operator and the ANEC can be recast as a particularly simple differential operator acting on the local operator. This operator is simple enough that we can resum it and obtain the finite distance OPE. Under the large $N$ - large gap assumptions, the vanishing of the commutator of ANEC operators tightly constrains the OPE coefficients of the theory. An important example of this phenomenon is the conclusion that $a=c$ in $d=4$. This implies that the bulk dual of such a CFT is semi-classical Einstein-gravity with minimally coupled matter.

Publisher: name: Griffith University

Subjects: subject: Creative writing
subject: Fiction writing
subject: Nature and culture
subject: Social ecology

description: This thesis is comprised of a novel and exegesis which explores how contemporary fiction can contribute to understandings of nature and culture, questioning oppositional dualisms and ultimately re-placing the human within nature. The exegesis discusses how fiction writers might engage with nature in their writing, by concentrating on the potential of urban environments – places where nature and culture co-exist. I argue that through fiction, writers can re-imagine cities in ways that extend contemporary ideas of place, nature, urban experience and ecologies. I use several methodologies in the creation of this novel and exegesis including practice-led research, eco-criticism, reflection, and embodied experience. My aim is to develop a method of writing-practice based on the hybrid role of doctoral candidate as creative writer/researcher and nature writing as a hybrid of poetic and scientific expression. I walk the boundary between real and fictional, natural and cultural, self and other. I seek to extend understandings of nature through the concepts of ‘situated knowledges’ and lived experiences with reference to Estelle Barrett and Donna Haraway. By questioning the binary set up between theory and practice, situated knowledge allows engagement between theoretical and creative inquiry and results in a more complex understanding of the creative-practice/research relationship. I argue that the definition of nature writing can be broadened to include fiction, urban areas and narratives that contribute a range of knowledge (poetic, scientific, personal, relational, and mythical). I consider the way language and meaning might play a role in understanding place and non-human nature. By re-conceptualising the way landscape, terroir, wilderness, country and nature are used and understood, I find new ways to think about nature/culture relationships. Eco-criticism, particularly through a social ecology lens has provided me with a critical frame to negotiate my own use and understanding of these conceptions.

description: We present a unique pipe flow rig capable where simultaneous particle tracking and flow velocity measurements in a dilute, neutrally buoyant particulate pipe flow in regimes of transition to turbulence. The flow consists of solid glass spheres for the disperse phase, and a density-matching fluid for the carrier phase. The measurements are conducted using a bespoke, combined 2D PIV/ PTV technique. The technique takes advantage of a phase discrimination approach that involves separating the disperse and carrier phases based on their respective image characteristics. Our results show that the rig and the technique it implements can be employed to study transitional particulate pipe flows at dilute concentration.

description: Boomerang, Maxima, DASI, CBI and VSA significantly increase the case for accelerated expansion in the early universe (the inflationary paradigm) and at the current epoch (dark energy dominance), especially when combined with data on high redshift supernovae (SN1) and large scale structure (LSS). There are ``7 pillars of Inflation'' that can be shown with the CMB probe, and at least 5, and possibly 6, of these have already been demonstrated in the CMB data: (1) a large scale gravitational potential; (2) acoustic peaks/dips; (3) damping due to shear viscosity; (4) a Gaussian (maximally random) distribution; (5) secondary anisotropies; (6) polarization. A 7th pillar, anisotropies induced by gravity wave quantum noise, could be too small. A minimal inflation parameter set, ω_b,ω_{cdm}, Ω_{tot}, Ω_Q,w_Q,n_s,τ_C, σ_8}, is used to illustrate the power of the current data. We find the CMB+LSS+SN1 data give Ω_{tot} =1.00^{+.07}_{-.03}, consistent with (non-baroque) inflation theory. Restricting to Ω_{tot}=1, we find a nearly scale invariant spectrum, n_s =0.97^{+.08}_{-.05}. The CDM density, Ω_{cdm}{\rm h}^2 =.12^{+.01}_{-.01}, and baryon density, Ω_b {\rm h}^2 = >.022^{+.003}_{-.002}, are in the expected range. (The Big Bang nucleosynthesis estimate is 0.019\pm 0.002.) Substantial dark (unclustered) energy is inferred, Ω_Q \approx 0.68 \pm 0.05, and CMB+LSS Ω_Q values are compatible with the independent SN1 estimates. The dark energy equation of state, crudely parameterized by a quintessence-field pressure-to-density ratio w_Q, is not well determined by CMB+LSS (w_Q < -0.4 at 95% CL), but when combined with SN1 the resulting w_Q < -0.7 limit is quite consistent with the w_Q=-1 cosmological constant case.

description: India has a lot of money, and foreign banks want to get their hands on it. India is a country with an expanding economy and an increasingly global presence. This has led to the growth of many international banks in India, which have been rapidly growing since the 1990s. What are Foreign Banks? Before we know the top foreign banks in India , we need to understand the term'foreign bank'. A financial institution that operates in any other country than its home country is termed a foreign bank. India's economy is growing by leaps and bounds, but the banking system doesn't have the infrastructure to support all this growth. It needs more branches, more ATMs, and better online services. Foreign banks see an opportunity in India with its over one billion people and fast-rising middle class. Foreign banks are investing billions of dollars in trying to grab a slice of this market. In simple words, a bank that has its headquarters in some other country but has a presence in India is classified as a foreign bank in India.

description: Anisotropic quantum Rabi model is a generalization of quantum Rabi model, which allows its rotating and counter-rotating terms to have two different coupling constants. It provides us with a fundamental model to understand various physical features concerning quantum optics, solid-state physics, and mesoscopic physics. In this paper, we propose an experimental feasible scheme to implement anisotropic quantum Rabi model in a circuit quantum electrodynamics system via periodic frequency modulation. An effective Hamiltonian describing the tunable anisotropic quantum Rabi model can be derived from a qubit-resonator coupling system modulated by two periodic driving fields. All effective parameters of the simulated system can be adjusted by tuning the initial phases, the frequencies and the amplitudes of the driving fields. We show that the periodic driving is able to drive a coupled system in dispersive regime to ultrastrong coupling regime, and even deep-strong coupling regime. The derived effective Hamiltonian allows us to obtain pure rotating term and counter-rotating term. Numerical simulation shows that such effective Hamiltonian is valid in ultrastrong coupling regime, and stronger coupling regime. Moreover, our scheme can be generalized to the multi-qubit case. We also give some applications of the simulated system to the Schrödinger cat states and quantum gate generalization. The presented proposal will pave a way to further study the stronger anisotropic Rabi model whose coupling strength is far away from ultrastrong coupling and deep-strong coupling regimes in quantum optics.

description: Full evolutionary models have been built to follow the phases of asymptotic giant branch evolution with mass loss for metal mass fractions from Z=0.0002 to Z=0.004. For the first time, we find that temperatures close to or even larger than 10^8 K are achieved at low Z; the full CNO cycle operates at the base of the envelope, the Oxygen abundance for the most metal-poor models of 4 and 5 solar masses is drastically reduced, and sodium and aluminum production by by proton capture on neon and magnesium can occur. These results may be relevant for the evolution of primordial massive globular clusters: we suggest that the low-mass stars may have been polluted at the surface by accretion from the gas that was lost from the evolving intermediate-mass stars at early ages.

description: Marine ecosystems are undergoing rapid change from a suite of human-induced stressors including overexploitation of resources, habitat fragmentation and loss, reduced habitat quality and changes to ecosystem functioning. Reserves are implemented and designed to reduce these influences, by preserving biodiversity, conserving marine habitats, increasing resilience of biota to disturbances, enhancing productivity, and facilitating the recovery of exploited fishery species. Although marine reserves can alter the structure and functioning of ecosystems, other factors such as seascape context and temporal variability can influence fish communities, ultimately determining the effectiveness of marine reserves. Ecosystem processes, abundances of harvested species and the spatial use of marine reserves can be largely influenced by the spatial properties that make up an ecosystem and other environmental factors such as climate. Although there is growing recognition of these processes, many of the key ecological characteristics that occur in protected seagrass ecosystems remain hitherto unstudied. I, therefore, aim to assess the influence of seascape context and temporal variability relative to the effectiveness of marine reserves for the protection of harvested seagrass fish species and the functions they provide. Ultimately, this thesis aims to determine the most suitable form of management of fish communities within seagrass ecosystems.

description: {Abridged} A combination of spectroscopy and broadband photometric redshifts has been used to find the complete redshift distribution of the Hercules sample of millijansky radio sources. These data have been used to examine the evolution of the radio luminosity function (RLF) and its high-redshift cut-off. New redshifts have been measured for eleven sources, and a further ten upper limits are given. The total number of sources with known redshifts in the sample is now 47 (65%). We calculated broadband photometric redshifts for the remaining one-third of the sample. For the luminosity range probed by the present study (P_1.4 > 10^24.5 W/Hz/sr), we use the V/V_max test to show conclusively that there is a deficit of high-redshift (z > 2-2.5) objects. Comparison with the model RLFs of Dunlop & Peacock (1990) shows that our data can now exclude pure luminosity evolution. Two of the models of DP90, and the RLF deduced by direct binning of the data, both favour a luminosity dependence for the high-redshift cut-off, with lower-luminosity sources (P_1.4 \simeq 10^24 W/Hz/sr) in decline by z \simeq 1-1.5 while higher-luminosity sources (P_1.4 \simeq 10^{25-26} W/Hz/sr) decline in comoving number density beyond z \simeq 2-2.5.

description: We show that particle scattering in general curved backgrounds entails {\it six} independent, kinematical Mandelstam-like invariants, instead of the two in flat spacetime. Spacetime isometries are shown to lead to constraints between these parameters, so that for standard black holes like Schwarzschild, Reissner-Nordström, or Kerr spacetimes, the number of {\it independent} parameters may be less than six. We compute the values of these independent parameters very close to the event horizon of the black holes. We demonstrate the existence of kinematical domains in the parameter space of particle trajectories for which some of the independent invariants may become unbounded above, as the point of collision approaches the event horizon. For particle scattering, this would imply the possibility of scattering with very large center-of-mass energy squared and/or very large momentum-transferred squared, making this astrophysically a laboratory for physics beyond the standard model.

description: Fast variability of optical objects is an interesting though poorly explored subject in modern astronomy. Real-time data processing and identification of transient celestial events in the images is very important for such study as it allows rapid follow-up with more sensitive instruments. We discuss an approach which we have developed for the RAPTOR project, a pioneering closed-loop system combining real-time transient detection with rapid follow-up. RAPTOR's data processing pipeline is able to identify and localize an optical transient within seconds after the observation. The testing we performed so far have been confirming the effectiveness of our method for the optical transient detection. The software pipeline we have developed for RAPTOR can easily be applied to the data from other experiments.

description: The structures that surround and support the tooth include both hard mineralized tissues (cementum and alveolar bone), and soft tissues (the periodontal ligament and gingiva). These structures collectively form the periodontium, whose major functions include tooth support, proprioception, nutrition, homeostasis, and repair. Of these functions, periodontal tissue homeostasis and repair, in particular, depends upon the control of a wide range of cellular activities such as proliferation, differentiation, collagen turnover, and the synthesis and resorption of soft and hard tissues (Schroeder, 1986). These cellular activities and their regulation are therefore of critical importance in any response to disease or injury. Most of the common forms of periodontal disease involve chronic inflammatory processes that can lead to the irreversible loss of both soft and hard periodontal tissue which, if left untreated, may ultimately result in tooth loss (Pihlstrom et al., 2005). A recent survey of the Australian population‟s oral health status has demonstrated that 22.9% of the adult population has some degree of periodontitis (Health, 2009). Clearly, this is a health problem of national significance. Following resolution of the inflammatory pathogenic mechanisms associated with periodontitis, the ultimate goal of periodontal treatment is the regeneration of the lost mineralized and / or soft tissue components of the periodontal attachment apparatus. Hence, it is crucial to understand the mechanism(s) underlining periodontal tissue healing and repair if this goal is to be achievable. Cementogenesis is a key event in periodontal regeneration as it is the cementum layer on the tooth surface into which the fibers of the periodontal ligament are inserted to provide functional attachment between the tooth and the alveolar bone.

description: This paper is targeted in the area of biometric data enabled security system based on the machine learning for the digital health. The disadvantages of traditional authentication systems include the risks of forgetfulness, loss, and theft. Biometric authentication is therefore rapidly replacing traditional authentication methods and is becoming an everyday part of life. The electrocardiogram (ECG) was recently introduced as a biometric authentication system suitable for security checks. The proposed authentication system helps investigators studying ECG-based biometric authentication techniques to reshape input data by slicing based on the RR-interval, and defines the Overall Performance (OP), which is the combined performance metric of multiple authentication measures. We evaluated the performance of the proposed system using a confusion matrix and achieved up to 95% accuracy by compact data analysis. We also used the Amang ECG (amgecg) toolbox in MATLAB to investigate the upper-range control limit (UCL) based on the mean square error, which directly affects three authentication performance metrics: the accuracy, the number of accepted samples, and the OP. Using this approach, we found that the OP can be optimized by using a UCL of 0.0028, which indicates 61 accepted samples out of 70 and ensures that the proposed authentication system achieves an accuracy of 95%.

description: We have implemented a Monte Carlo algorithm to model and predict the response of various kinds of CCDs to X-ray photons and minimally-ionizing particles and have applied this model to the CCDs in the Chandra X-ray Observatory's Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer. This algorithm draws on empirical results and predicts the response of all basic types of X-ray CCD devices. It relies on new solutions of the diffusion equation, including recombination, to predict the radial charge cloud distribution in field-free regions of CCDs. By adjusting the size of the charge clouds, we can reproduce the event grade distribution seen in calibration data. Using a model of the channel stops developed here and an insightful treatment of the insulating layer under the gate structure developed at MIT, we are able to reproduce all notable features in ACIS calibration spectra. The simulator is used to reproduce ground and flight calibration data from ACIS, thus confirming its fidelity. It can then be used for a variety of calibration tasks, such as generating spectral response matrices for spectral fitting of astrophysical sources, quantum efficiency estimation, and modeling of photon pile-up.

description: The shifting cultural landscape of human sexuality has undergone significant movement over the last 50 years. This thesis addresses an important gap within this landscape: the work that is involved in the construction of femininities. The study navigates the complex human capacities of female sexuality by deploying critical theory relative to the ways that understandings of sexuality have changed in modern social and intellectual history. Twenty heterosexual and lesbian-identified women were interviewed and their narratives form the basis of this thesis. It is evident from these narratives that, through upbringing, experience and education, discourses are socially mediated in complex ways to generate our individual worlds. The thesis tells the stories of the women who participated in the study and reveals their experiences of growing up as girls against the backdrops of time, context, and social interaction. This research utilises Foucault’s work on technologies of the self, and connects this to the practical features of Goffman’s performance and Butler’s more theoretical performativity to explore the consequences of self-discipline in relation to femininities. The overarching approach to this critique is feminist with the aim of understanding gendered social inequalities through the exploration of cultural roles and the lived experiences of the women who took part in this research. Postmodern theory informs the research, particularly in terms of how traditional ideas and practices affect the construction and use of knowledge. How we know about sexualities is important because it opens up to question ways of knowing differently or otherwise through counter-narrative and counter-knowledges to the prevailing dominant discourses. Social constructionism, utilising symbolic interactionist and critical feminist perspectives, is deployed to focus on the way participants interpret and attribute meaning to their sexual experiences and the trajectory of intimate relationships. This includes how they engage and work with the very concepts of sexuality, desire and sex, reinterpreting and reconstructing them experimentally, testing them or abandoning them according to how they rewrite their biographies.
An iterative technique for solving equations of statistical equilibrium

description: Superlevel partitioning is combined with a simple relaxation procedure to construct an iterative technique for solving equations of statistical equilibrium. In treating an $N$-level model atom, the technique avoids the $N^{3}$ scaling in computer time for direct solutions with standard linear equation routines and also does not fail at large $N$ due to the accumulation of round-off errors. In consequence, the technique allows detailed model atoms with $N \ga 10^{3}$, such as those required for iron peak elements, to be incorporated into diagnostic codes for analysing astronomical spectra. Tests are reported for a 394-level Fe II ion and a 1266-level Ni I--IV atom.

12CO(1-0) observations of NGC 4848: a Coma galaxy after stripping

description: We study the molecular gas content and distribution in the Coma cluster spiral galaxy NGC 4848. Plateau de Bure interferometric CO(1-0) observations reveal a lopsided H_2 distribution with an off-center secondary maximum coincident with the inner part of the HI. NGC 4848 is not at all deficient in molecular gas as it contains M_H_2~4x10^9 M_solar. At the interface between the CO and HI emission regions, about 8 kpc NW of the center, however, strong star formation is present as witnessed by Halpha and radio continuum emission. This is the region in which earlier Fabry-Perot observations revealed a double-peaked Halpha line, indicating gas at two different velocities at the same sky position. In order to understand these observations, we present the results of numerical simulations of the ISM-ICM interaction. We suggest that NGC 4848 already passed through the center of the cluster about 4x10^8 years ago. At the observed stage ram pressure has no more direct dynamical influence on the galaxy's ISM. We observe the galaxy when a fraction of the stripped gas is falling back onto the galaxy. Ram pressure is thus a short-lived event with longer-lasting consequences. The combination of ram-pressure and rotation results in gas at different velocities colliding where the double-peaked Halpha line is observed. Ram-pressure can thus result, after re-accretion, in displaced molecular gas without the H_2 itself being pushed efficiently by the ICM. A scenario where two interactions take place simultaneously is also consistent with the available data but less probable on the basis of our numerical simulations.
