Characterising N-terminal amino acid incorporation and protein stability using a mutant i-tRNA(AAC)

description: Synthetic biology is a rapidly evolving field that harnesses principles derived from computational and biomolecular science to create novel biological systems. However, current hurdles such as reduced circuit control and efficiency prevent its full potential being realised for applications in industry, medicine, and research. One prospective solution to circumvent these issues is the idea of developing an orthogonal central dogma of biology. Orthogonal translation initiation from a non-canonical start codon is possible by simultaneously introducing a non-canonical start codon and a mutant initiator tRNA with a complimentary anticodon into cells, but little is known about which amino acids are incorporated into translated proteins. In this thesis, I explore the initiation fidelity of a mutant initiator tRNA with an AAC anticodon which specifically initiates from a noncanonical GUU start codon. Proteomic analysis shows that the mutant initiator tRNA substitutes valine for methionine as the first amino acid in reporter proteins, resulting in improved protein stability. This study serves as a roadmap for the measurement of other non-canonical initiator tRNA activities and the development of a system allowing for improved control of protein levels in vivo, bringing synthetic biology closer to achieving an orthogonal central dogma -- abstract.

description: We present efficient realization of Householder Transform (HT) based QR factorization through algorithm-architecture co-design where we achieve performance improvement of 3-90x in-terms of Gflops/watt over state-of-the-art multicore, General Purpose Graphics Processing Units (GPGPUs), Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), and ClearSpeed CSX700. Theoretical and experimental analysis of classical HT is performed for opportunities to exhibit higher degree of parallelism where parallelism is quantified as a number of parallel operations per level in the Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) of the transform. Based on theoretical analysis of classical HT, an opportunity re-arrange computations in the classical HT is identified that results in Modified HT (MHT) where it is shown that MHT exhibits 1.33x times higher parallelism than classical HT. Experiments in off-the-shelf multicore and General Purpose Graphics Processing Units (GPGPUs) for HT and MHT suggest that MHT is capable of achieving slightly better or equal performance compared to classical HT based QR factorization realizations in the optimized software packages for Dense Linear Algebra (DLA). We implement MHT on a customized platform for Dense Linear Algebra (DLA) and show that MHT achieves 1.3x better performance than native implementation of classical HT on the same accelerator. For custom realization of HT and MHT based QR factorization, we also identify macro operations in the DAGs of HT and MHT that are realized on a Reconfigurable Data-path (RDP). We also observe that due to re-arrangement in the computations in MHT, custom realization of MHT is capable of achieving 12% better performance improvement over multicore and GPGPUs than the performance improvement reported by General Matrix Multiplication (GEMM) over highly tuned DLA software packages for multicore and GPGPUs which is counter-intuitive.

Fascinated by self-fabrication: early sensation fiction's interest in dress and identity
Creators: name: Haglund, Nicklas
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Dress is a facet of identity that is often overlooked by literary criticism and the wider scholarly community. Inspired by the fruitful research carried out by sociologists, dress historians and a small cadre of sartorially interested literary critics, this thesis addresses a crucial gap in Victorian literary criticism. It asks two questions: how does dress contribute to the construction and reception of identity in modern literature? And more specifically, why is the sartorial registered so strongly in early sensation fiction of the 1860's? Throughout its textual analysis of 'The Woman in White' (Wilkie Collins, 1860) and 'Lady Audley’s Secret' (Mary Elizabeth Braddon, 1862) this thesis demonstrates that their themes, characterisation and plots are communicated discursively through the deployment and reception of sartorial cues. Consequently, this thesis contends that sensation fiction texts are inherently sartorial narratives, in which their authors deploy significant descriptions of dress to position and engage with their readers. Sensation fiction’s generic features are also re-examined to highlight how Collins and Braddon use sartorial cues to appropriate detective and gothic fiction elements to reflect on contemporary concerns regarding dress and identity in their novels. In doing so, this thesis asserts that sensation fiction captured the mid-Victorian fascination with sartorial self-fabrication.
Quality of life in Primary Progressive Aphasia: characteristics, influences and implications

description: Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA) is an emerging area of speech pathology practice. Despite its cross over with stroke-aphasia and dementia presentations, both fields in which quality of life has been investigated, limited research has investigated quality of life in PPA. This study conducted four health-related quality of life assessments with six individuals with PPA. Health-related quality of life was found to be individual and heterogeneous: some individuals maintained good health-related quality of life despite linguistic impairment, whereas three out of six participants screened positively for depression. Factors noted to influence health-related quality of life, or reported as particularly important to participants, included: maintaining enjoyable activities, financial situation, family and speech pathology support, and time since and reaction to PPA diagnosis. Linguistic and cognitive impairment were not related to health-related quality of life in this study, although the small sample size is noted as a limitation. Those individuals without severe semantic impairment were able to more reliably report on their health-related quality of life. Implications for assessment of quality of life in PPA and multidisciplinary care of people with PPA are discussed -- abstract.

description: We analyzed broad-band X-ray and radio data of the magnetar SGR J1935+2154 taken in the aftermath of its 2014, 2015, and 2016 outbursts. The source soft X-ray spectrum <10 keV is well described with a BB+PL or 2BB model during all three outbursts. NuSTAR observations revealed a hard X-ray tail, $Γ=0.9$, extending up to 79 keV, with flux larger than the one detected <10 keV. Imaging analysis of Chandra data did not reveal small-scale extended emission around the source. Following the outbursts, the total 0.5-10 keV flux from SGR J1935+2154 increased in concordance to its bursting activity, with the flux at activation onset increasing by a factor of $\sim7$ following its strongest June 2016 outburst. A Swift/XRT observation taken 1.5 days prior to the onset of this outburst showed a flux level consistent with quiescence. We show that the flux increase is due to the PL or hot BB component, which increased by a factor of $25$ compared to quiescence, while the cold BB component $kT=0.47$ keV remained more or less constant. The 2014 and 2015 outbursts decayed quasi-exponentially with time-scales of $\sim40$ days, while the stronger May and June 2016 outbursts showed a quick short-term decay with time-scales of $\sim4$ days. Our Arecibo radio observations set the deepest limits on the radio emission from a magnetar, with a maximum flux density limit of 14 $μ$Jy for the 4.6 GHz observations and 7 $μ$Jy for the 1.4 GHz observations. We discuss these results in the framework of the current magnetar theoretical models.

Synthesis of targeted probes for chemical proteomics studies of the EGFR signaling network

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

description: The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase is a prototypical receptor kinase with critical function in normal homeostasis and disease progression. Eight EGFR inhibitors spanning three generations are FDA-approved for a few types of cancers and ultimately limited by resistance. Drug resistance has recently been associated to EGFR roles beyond its kinase activity and dependent on subcellular localization. Elucidating endogenous EGFR signaling characteristics may lead to more efficacious therapies. In this thesis work we report the design and synthesis of EGFR-directed probes for taking a chemical proteomics approach to finding potential protein partners of EGFR in the cell. The probes were based on selective EGFR inhibitors and designed to covalently label a lysine residue in the solvent-exposed region of EGFR. Several trifunctional linkers for the modification of other drugs were also obtained. In reverse chemical proteomics using human cDNA libraries from various cancer cells, DNA topoisomerase I was identified as a potential target of the EGFR inhibitor Gefitinib, supporting recent hypothesis of EGFR-topoisomerase crosstalk in drug resistance. In forward chemical proteomics studies in MDA-MB-468 cells, several ATP-utilizing enzymes were identified as potential EGFR interactors. These proteins may in the future be further investigated to validate their interactions with EGFR and understand the biological roles of these interactions to assist the development of new combination therapies.
Unified Models of Neutrinos, Flavour and CP Violation

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Recent data from neutrino experiments gives intriguing hints about the mass ordering, the CP violating phase and non-maximal atmospheric mixing. There seems to be a (one sigma) preference for a normal ordered (NO) neutrino mass pattern, with a CP phase $δ= -100^{\circ}\pm 50 ^\circ$, and (more significantly) non-maximal atmospheric mixing. Global fits for the NO case yield lepton mixing angle one sigma ranges: $θ_{23}\approx 41.4^\circ \pm 1.6^\circ$, $θ_{12}\approx 33.2^\circ \pm 1.2^\circ$, $θ_{13}\approx 8.45^\circ \pm 0.15^\circ$. Cosmology gives a limit on the total of the three masses to be below about $0.23$ eV, favouring hierarchical neutrino masses over quasi-degenerate masses. Given such experimental advances, it seems an opportune moment to review the theoretical status of attempts to explain such a pattern of neutrino masses and lepton mixing, focussing on approaches based on the four pillars of: {\em predictivity}, {\em minimality}, {\em robustness} and {\em unification}. {\em Predictivity} can result from various mixing sum rules whose status is reviewed. {\em Minimality} can follow from the type I seesaw mechanism, including constrained sequential dominance of right-handed (RH) neutrinos, and the littlest seesaw model. {\em Robustness} requires enforcing a discrete CP and non-Abelian family symmetry, spontaneously broken by flavons with the symmetry preserved in a semi-direct way. {\em Unification} can account for all lepton and quark masses, mixing angles and CP phases, as in Supersymmetric Grand Unified Theories of Flavour, with possible string theory origin.

The pipe deposits of tungsten-molybdenum-bismuth in eastern Australia

Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Joint-controlled quartz-rich molybdenite-bismuth±wolframite pipes occur in the altered margins and roof zones of high level leucocratic granitic plutons. The hose granitic plutons have been sericitised at their margins and roof zones with local more intense alteration (sericitisation, greisenisation, spessarititisation) zonally arranged around the pipe loci. Ore distribution is patchy and the ore grade decreases with depth. The pipes are internally asymmetrically zoned and comprise quartz, molybdenite,ferberitic wolframite and bismuth minerals with minor amounts of other ore and silicate minerals.The host granitic plutons are believed to have derived from the shallow anatexis of metasediments above a lithospheric plate boundary. These melts fractionated and ascended to a high level with the last fractions slowly crystallising to coarse grained adamellites. Some alkali metasomatism occurred in some areas after pluton emplacement. Jointing of the pluton occurred during or after the last stages cf crystallisation as a result of contraction or fluid pressure. A magmatic aqueous phase was released and ascended joints close and subparallel to the contact plane and collected in the roof zone beneath high grade metamorphic rooks. This high temperature aqueous phase at Wolfram Camp was released at PH₂O≥0.3kb; had a low pH, Fh, fO₂ and fCO₂; high salinity and fS₂ and contained complexes of W, Mo and Bi which were partitioned from the melt into the aqueous phase. During ascent of this aqueous phase, there was minor lateral movement away from the joint loci producing zonal alteration assemblages as a result of H⁺ digestion, fO₂ and Fh increase. Ore mineral precipitation was possibly a result of fluid mixing or temperature decrease. A number of episodes of hydrothermal fracturing were recognised and the temperature and salinity of the aqueous phase decreased with each successive fracturing event.These pipe deposits in eastern Australia have many similarities with the Mo pipe deposits of Japan and the circum Pacific porphyry copper deposits.
Reconstruction of Galaxy Star Formation Histories through SED Fitting: The Dense Basis Approach

description: We introduce the Dense Basis method for Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) fitting. It accurately recovers traditional SED parameters, including M$_*$, SFR and dust attenuation, and reveals previously inaccessible information about the number and duration of star formation episodes and the timing of stellar mass assembly, as well as uncertainties in these quantities. This is done using basis Star Formation Histories (SFHs) chosen by comparing the goodness-of-fit of mock galaxy SEDs to the goodness-of-reconstruction of their SFHs. We train and validate the method using a sample of realistic SFHs at $z =1$ drawn from stochastic realisations, semi-analytic models, and a cosmological hydrodynamical galaxy formation simulation. The method is then applied to a sample of 1100 CANDELS GOODS-S galaxies at $110^{9.5}M_\odot$. About $40\%$ of the CANDELS galaxies have SFHs whose maximum occurs at or near the epoch of observation. The Dense Basis method is scalable and offers a general approach to a broad class of data-science problems.

Can the removal of molecular cloud envelopes by external feedback affect the efficiency of star formation?

description: We investigate how star formation efficiency can be significantly decreased by the removal of a molecular cloud's envelope by feedback from an external source. Feedback from star formation has difficulties halting the process in dense gas but can easily remove the less dense and warmer envelopes where star formation does not occur. However, the envelopes can play an important role keeping their host clouds bound by deepening the gravitational potential and providing a constraining pressure boundary. We use numerical simulations to show that removal of the cloud envelopes results in all cases in a fall in the star formation efficiency (SFE). At 1.38 free-fall times our 4 pc cloud simulation experienced a drop in the SFE from 16 to six percent, while our 5 pc cloud fell from 27 to 16 per cent. At the same time, our 3 pc cloud (the least bound) fell from an SFE of 5.67 per cent to zero when the envelope was lost. The star formation efficiency per free-fall time varied from zero to $\approx$ 0.25 according to $α$, defined to be the ratio of the kinetic plus thermal to gravitational energy, and irrespective of the absolute star forming mass available. Furthermore the fall in SFE associated with the loss of the envelope is found to even occur at later times. We conclude that the SFE will always fall should a star forming cloud lose its envelope due to stellar feedback, with less bound clouds suffering the greatest decrease.

description: We show that coherent inflation, namely quantum dynamics generated by inverted conservative potentials acting on the center of mass of a massive object, is an enabling tool to prepare large spatial quantum superpositions in a double-slit experiment. Combined with cryogenic, extreme high vacuum, and low-vibration environments, we argue that it is experimentally feasible to exploit coherent inflation to prepare the center of mass of a micrometer-sized object in a spatial quantum superposition comparable to its size. In such a hitherto unexplored parameter regime gravitationally-induced decoherence could be unambiguously falsified. We present a protocol to implement coherent inflation in a double-slit experiment by letting a levitated microsphere traverse a static potential landscape. Such a protocol could be experimentally implemented with an all-magnetic scheme using superconducting microspheres.

Farm Population: Revised Estimates for 1941-59

description: In 1960, a new and more restrictive definition of the farm population was adopted by the Department of Agriculture and the Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce, for use in current surveys and censuses. The effect of this definition change has been discussed in detail elsewhere. Its use in the Current Population Survey resulted in a farm population estimate of 15,635,000 in 1960, as compared with 20,541,000 on the old definition. For certain purposes, there is considerable need for a continuous comparable annual series of farm population estimates, for example, to permit computation of per capita annual farm income figures. For such uses, revision of farm population data to provide a continuous annual series and to eliminate the large break in the series produced by the definition change is deemed necessary, even though it is recognized that there is no exact and definitive way of merging the old and new series. This report presents revisions of the farm population of the United States for the years 1941 through 1959, and explains the method of revision used.

description: We present the first NuSTAR observation of a 'true' Type 2 Seyfert galaxy. The 3-40 keV X-ray spectrum of NGC3147 is characterised by a simple power-law, with a standard Γ~1.7 and an iron emission line, with no need for any further component up to ~40 keV. These spectral properties, together with significant variability on time-scales as short as weeks (as shown in a 2014 Swift monitoring campaign), strongly support an unobscured line-of-sight for this source. An alternative scenario in terms of a Compton-thick source is strongly disfavoured, requiring an exceptional geometrical configuration, whereas a large fraction of the solid angle to the source is filled by a highly ionised gas, whose reprocessed emission would dominate the observed luminosity. Moreover, in this scenario the implied intrinsic X-ray luminosity of the source would be much larger than the value predicted by other luminosity proxies, like the [OIII]λ5007 emission line extinction-corrected luminosity. Therefore, we confirm with high confidence that NGC3147 is a true Type 2 Seyfert galaxy, intrinsically characterised by the absence of a BLR.

description: Efficient rearing techniques providing high-quality insects are essential for pest control strategies entailing mass rearing and release in field, such as augmentative biological control and Sterile Insect Technique (SIT). Storage at suboptimal temperatures is a valuable procedure for prolonging the developmental time of insects and thus increasing the efficiency of insect rearing. The advantages that this procedure offers include a more flexible rearing schedule, the possibility to overcome periods of low production and the synchronization of field releases during pest outbreaks. Methods for storage of two model fly species, Exorista larvarum (L.) (Diptera: Tachinidae) and Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt) (Diptera: Tephritidae), were studied in the present thesis by investigating the best conditions for an efficient storage and the consequences for fly quality. Native to the Palearctic region, E. larvarum is a parasitoid introduced, and now established, in the USA as a biological control agent of Lymantria dispar (L.). The possibility to store the tachinid eggs at suboptimal temperatures once placed on artificial medium was first evaluated. Results showed that storage of the tachinid fly is possible to create a useful reserve of immatures, but the quality of the resulting females can be compromised. In addition, a study was performed with the aim of creating a useful stockpile of E. larvarum 1-day old puparia for use in small- or large-scale rearing programs. Pupal stage was efficiently prolonged by the storage treatments but female flies displayed a fitness reduction in some cases. Bactrocera tryoni (Queensland fruit fly, Q-fly) is an endemic phytophagous species that represents a serious biosecurity challenge for Australia, attacking many commercial fruit and vegetable crops. The possibility to create a useful reserve of Q-fly eggs by placing them on a gel-based diet and by storing them at different suboptimal temperatures was investigated. The preimaginal development was efficiently prolonged, but detrimental effects on biological parameters were observed. The following study evaluated the effects of suboptimal temperature storage on 1-day old Q-fly pupae for use in SIT programs. Survival and quality of the resulting adults were assessed and negative effects, of various intensity, were shown on standard and non-standard quality control parameters.

description: Recently rediscovered black phosphorus is a layered semiconductor with promising electronic and photonic properties. Dynamic control of its bandgap can enable novel device applications and allow for the exploration of new physical phenomena. However, theoretical investigations and photoemission spectroscopy experiments performed on doped black phosphorus through potassium adsorption indicate that in its few-layer form, an exceedingly large electric field in the order of several volts per nanometer is required to effectively tune its bandgap, making the direct electrical control unfeasible. Here we demonstrate the tuning of bandgap in intrinsic black phosphorus using an electric field directly and reveal the unique thickness-dependent bandgap tuning properties, arising from the strong interlayer electronic-state coupling. Furthermore, leveraging a 10-nm-thick black phosphorus in which the field-induced potential difference across the film dominates over the interlayer coupling, we continuously tune its bandgap from ~300 to below 50 milli-electron volts, using a moderate displacement field up to 1.1 volts per nanometer. Such dynamic tuning of bandgap may not only extend the operational wavelength range of tunable black phosphorus photonic devices, but also pave the way for the investigation of electrically tunable topological insulators and topological nodal semimetals.

title: From legislative intent to current practice
title: a relational constructionist perspective on The Mental Capacity Act 2005 and legal consciousness in hospice decision-making

description: Hospice care encompasses physical treatment and emotional, social and spiritual support which recognises what is important to each patient and supports decision-making where patients cannot make decisions for themselves. The Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA) regulates decision-making for people without capacity. Post-legislative scrutiny of the Act (in 2014) concluded that it is neither well understood nor working well in practice. The research aim is to describe how the Act’s principles are understood and interpreted in hospice practice, specifically considering the patient’s role in the decision-making process. A relational constructionist approach is adopted, situating hospice care within an ethic-of-care understanding of decision-making, adopting a socio-legal perspective and understanding compassion as a concept relevant to the legal process. An innovative genealogical analysis of policy and legislative documents (n=24) influencing the ‘coming to be’ of the Act and a systematic review of Court of Protection judgments (n=63) ‘historicises’ the empirical research. Two group interviews and six individual interviews (13 participants from 2 hospices) provide empirical data. Legal consciousness theory influences analysis of the interview data. In the findings, the hospice is characterised as expert, the guardian of a proper process, ‘holding’ both patient and family members and recognising the patient’s wishes and feelings as fundamental to a good decision. The availability of time to understand a patient’s narrative and the collegiate, supportive nature of the multi-disciplinary team are important factors in hospice decision-making. In conclusion, hospice staff benefit from having time to understand a patient’s narrative and to make decisions within a reciprocal hospice-patient relationship, informed by an ethic-of-care approach. The understanding of hospice as a ‘movement’ (being distinctly and self-consciously different from other settings) influences the legal consciousness of hospice staff such that compliant decision-making is considered to be part of good quality care rather than simply reflecting a legally acceptable approach.

description: Chitosan, a natural, cationic polysaccharide, may be a hydrocolloid strategic to formulate acidic food products, as it can act as both bio-functional and technofunctional constituent. Typically, acetic acid is used to disperse chitosan in aqueous media, but the use of this acid is limited in food formulations due to its flavor. In this study, chitosan was firstly dispersed (0.1% m/V) in lactic acid aqueous solutions (pH 3.0, 3.5 or 4.0), and then evaluated regarding its thickener and emulsion stabilizer properties. O/W emulsions were prepared and characterized in terms of rheological properties, droplets average diameters and droplets $ζ$-potential. Emulsions containing chitosan were 3 times more viscous than controls without chitosan, and presented storage modulus ($G'$) higher than loss modulus ($G''$). Furthermore, they displayed two different populations of droplets (average diameters of 44 and 365 nm) and positive $ζ$-potential values (+50 mV). Droplets average diameters and $ζ$-potential did not present significant changes ($p$ > 0.05) after storage at 25 $^{\circ}$C during 7 days. This study showed that i) food organic acids other than acetic acid can be used to disperse chitosan for technological purposes, and ii) chitosan dispersed at very low concentrations (0.1% m/V) had relevant effects on rheological and physicochemical aspects of food-grade emulsions.

description: Coherent energy exchange between plasmons and excitons is a phenomenon that arises in the strong coupling regime resulting in distinct hybrid states. The DNA-origami technique provides an ideal framework to custom-tune plasmon-exciton nanostructures. By employing this well controlled self-assembly process, we realized hybrid states by precisely positioning metallic nanoparticles in a defined spatial arrangement with fixed nanometer-sized interparticle spacing. Varying the nanoparticle diameter between 30 nm and 60 nm while keeping their separation distance constant allowed us to precisely adjust the plasmon resonance of the structure to accurately match the energy frequency of a J-aggregate exciton. With this system we obtained strong plasmon-exciton coupling and studied far-field scattering at the single-structure level. The individual structures displayed normal mode splitting up to 170 meV. The plasmon tunability and the strong field confinement attained with nanodimers on DNA-origami renders an ideal tool to bottom-up assembly plasmon-exciton systems operating at room temperature.

description: Employee involvement in decision making and its influence on management’s discretion is a prominent research issue in industrial relations. This study examines the scope of employee involvement in the legislative system and the impact of employee involvement in decision-making and management prerogative within mining sector in Australia. Employee involvement can be managed by two different mechanisms: right based and interest based driven by legislative and management respectively. Over the last two decades, right based employee involvement in Australia is governed by enterprise agreements; for this reason, enterprise agreements from the mining sector are selected as the data source and will be used to examine the research objectives. Based on the nature of the data, this research uses the qualitative research methodology and content analysis to examine and analyse the subjective data within the documents. Following legislative lens to examine the employee involvement enables a formal and indirect employee involvement approach. However, the findings illustrate that the existence of informal and direct employee involvement practices under enterprise agreement too. In addition, this study identifies the impact of employee involvement on decision making and management prerogative. Altogether, this study highlights the integrative practice of right based and interest based- approach of employee involvement under contemporary Australian IR legislation. Such an outcome contributes to the industrial relations (IR) literature as well as provides insight to the organisational management practice about developing constructive employment relationship through employee involvement mechanisms.

description: One of the major issues with the integration of renewable energy sources into the power grid is the increased uncertainty and variability that they bring. If this uncertainty is not sufficiently addressed, it will limit the further penetration of renewables into the grid and even result in blackouts. Compared to energy storage, Demand Response (DR) has advantages to provide reserves to the load serving entities (LSEs) in a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way. DR programs work by changing customers' loads when the power grid experiences a contingency such as a mismatch between supply and demand. Uncertainties from both the customer-side and LSE-side make designing algorithms for DR a major challenge. This paper makes the following main contributions: (i) We propose DR control policies based on the optimal structures of the offline solution. (ii) A distributed algorithm is developed for implementing the control policies without efficiency loss. (iii) We further offer an enhanced policy design by allowing flexibilities into the commitment level. (iv) We perform real world trace based numerical simulations which demonstrate that the proposed algorithms can achieve near optimal social cost. Details can be found in our extended version.
