title: Cardiac Responses to Endurance Exercise: Novel Insights from Exercise Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography and High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin Assays
Creators: name: Stewart, Glenn Malcolm

description: Endurance exercise training stimulates numerous adaptive changes to the structure, morphology and function of the human heart. Recent evidence suggests that a prolonged and strenuous bout of exercise, such as an ultra-endurance marathon or triathlon event, may results in temporary autonomic, biochemical and functional abnormalities which predominantly arise in the right ventricle. The impact of routine day-to-day endurance exercise training on exercise-induced cardiac disturbances is less clear, but likely influenced by hemodynamic, hormonal and metabolic factors that are related to the exercise intensity and duration. This thesis aimed to determine the time-course development (throughout exercise and during recovery) of cardiac perturbations evoked by exercise bouts that are typical of day-to-day endurance training. Indices of cardiac electrical conduction (atrial and ventricular conduction dynamics), autonomic activity (heart rate variability), ventricular mechanical function (left and right ventricular strain), and biomarkers of cardiac injury (serum cTn T & I) were examined in a cohort of recreationally active and trained men. The assessment of ventricular mechanical function during exercise is a key element of this thesis that enabled the exploration of functional cardiac limitations throughout and following endurance exercise. To determine the magnitude and time-course of exercise-induced functional and biochemical cardiac perturbations a laboratory based study was used to manipulate exercise intensity and duration while holding total mechanical work constant.
Effective Field Theory for Few-Nucleon Systems

description: We review the effective field theories (EFTs) developed for few-nucleon systems. These EFTs are controlled expansions in momenta, where certain (leading-order) interactions are summed to all orders. At low energies, an EFT with only contact interactions allows a detailed analysis of renormalization in a non-perturbative context and uncovers novel asymptotic behavior. Manifestly model-independent calculations can be carried out to high orders, leading to high precision. At higher energies, an EFT that includes pion fields justifies and extends the traditional framework of phenomenological potentials. The correct treatment of QCD symmetries ensures a connection with lattice QCD. Several tests and prospects of these EFTs are discussed.

description: Our ability to understand and tailor metal-organic interfaces is mandatory to functionalize organic complexes for next generation electronic and spintronic devices. For magnetic data storage applications, metal-carrying organic molecules, so called single molecular magnets (SMM) are of particular interest as they yield the possibility to store information on the molecular scale. In this work, we focus on the adsorption properties of the prototypical SMM Sc3N@C80 grown in a monolayer film on the Ag(111) substrate. We provide clear evidence of a pyramidal distortion of the otherwise planar Sc3N core inside the carbon cage upon the adsorption on the Ag(111) surface. This adsorption induced structural change of the Sc3N@C80 molecule can be correlated to a charge transfer from the substrate into the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of Sc3N@C80, which significantly alters the charge density of the fullerene core. Our comprehensive characterization of the Sc3N@C80-Ag(111) interface hence reveals an indirect coupling mechanism between the Sc3N core of the fullerene molecule and the noble metal surface mediated via an interfacial charge transfer. Our work shows that such an indirect coupling between the encapsulated metal centers of SMM and metal surfaces can strongly affect the geometric structure of the metallic centers and thereby potentially also alters the magnetic properties of SMMs on surfaces.

description: Majorana zero modes (MZMs) emerging at the edges of topological superconducting wires have been proposed as the building blocks of novel, fault-tolerant quantum computation protocols. Coherent detection and manipulation of such states in scalable devices are, therefore, essential in these applications. Recent detection proposals include semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) coupled to the end of these wires, as changes in the QD electronic spectral density due to the MZM coupling could be detected in transport experiments. Here, we propose that multi-QD systems can also be used to manipulate MZMs through precise control over the QDs' parameters. The simplest case where Majorana manipulation is possible is in a double quantum dot (DQD) geometry. By using exact analytical methods and numerical renormalization-group calculations, we show that the QDs' spectral functions can be used to characterize the presence or not of MZMs "leaking" into the DQD. More importantly, we find that these signatures respond to changes in the DQD parameters such as gate-voltages and couplings in a consistent fashion. Additionally, we show that different MZM-DQD coupling geometries ("symmetric" , "in-series" and "T-shaped" junctions) offer distinct ways in which MZMs can be switched from dot to dot. These results highlight the interesting possibilities that DQDs offer for all-electrical MZM control in scalable devices.

description: Despite mounting evidence that dark matter (DM) exists in the Universe, its fundamental nature remains unknown. We present sensitivity estimates to detect DM particles with a future very-high-energy ($\gtrsim$ TeV) wide field-of-view gamma-ray observatory in the Southern Hemisphere. This observatory would search for gamma rays from the annihilation or decay of DM particles in the Galactic halo. With a wide field of view, both the Galactic Center and a large fraction of the Galactic halo will be detectable with unprecedented sensitivity to DM in the mass range of $\sim$500 GeV to $\sim$2 PeV. These results, combined with those from other present and future gamma-ray observatories, will likely probe the thermal relic annihilation cross section of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles for all masses from $\sim$80 TeV down to the GeV range in most annihilation channels.

description: We describe a method and its implementation for calculating electronic structure and electron transport without approximating the structure using periodic super-cells. This effectively removes spurious periodic images and interference effects. Our method is based on already established methods readily available in the non-equilibrium Green function formalism and allows for non-equilibrium transport. We present examples of a N defect in graphene, finite voltage bias transport in a point-contact to graphene, and a graphene-nanoribbon junction. This method is less costly, in terms of CPU-hours, than the super-cell approximation.

description: We compare two methods for deriving distances to early-type galaxies: fundamental plane (FP) and surface brightness fluctuations (SBF) distances for 170 galaxies. A third set of distances is provided by predictions derived from the density field of the IRAS redshift survey. Overall there is good agreement. However, several nearby, low-luminosity, mainly S0 galaxies have systematically low FP distances; we conclude that this is at least partly due to recent star formation and consequently low mass-to-light ratios. The tie between the Cepheid-calibrated SBF distances (Mpc) and the far-field calibrated FP distances (km/s) yields a Hubble constant H_0 = 68 +/- 3 km/s/Mpc, while the comparison between SBF and the IRAS-reconstructed distances yields H_0 = 74 +/- 2 (internal errorbars). Possible explanations for the marginal inconsistency include systematic errors in the redshift survey completeness estimates or in the FP aperture corrections, but at this point, the best estimate of H_0 from early-type galaxies may be a simple average of the above two estimates. After revising the SBF distances to be in agreement with the final set of Key Project Cepheid distances, we conclude H_0 = 73 +/- 4 +/- 11, where the second errorbar represents the total systematic uncertainty in the distance zero point. We also discuss the recently introduced "fluctuation star count" parameter Nbar as a less demanding alternative to (V-I) for calibrating SBF distances. The Nbar-calibrated SBF method is akin to a hybrid SBF-FP distance indicator, and we find that the use of Nbar actually improves the SBF distances. Further study of Nbar would provide useful constraints for elliptical galaxy formation models. (abridged)

description: The exegesis, ‘The voices of surf-writing’, examines: the relationship between reader and writer in the surf-writing genre; how this relationship is conveyed through voice; and, ultimately, how the delivery methods of surf-journalism, surf-nonfiction and surf-fiction influence the social perception of surf culture in the mass market. Acknowledging that surf-writing is mainly aimed at surfers and those who ‘belong to surf’, the exegesis focusses on the ways surf is delivered in texts, and examines whether the writing is authentic in its themes, tones and voice, while also calling for innovation. The exegesis accompanies a creative work, Taj: A man above the reef, which offers a unique contribution to the future of surf-writing by presenting Taj Burrow’s retirement tale in a new literary format and delivering knowledge earned through industry experience, culture exposure and academic exploration. This piece of creative nonfiction utilises fragments, visuals and breakout boxes to portray a variety of voices operating in the surf culture. Surfing has existed for centuries, as histories of the Pacific recognise. The aim of this submission is to represent surfing authentically, innovatively and with integrity in all aspects of the surf-writing field, while also recommending change to the subgenres and culture of the surf writing industry.

description: A semiempirical parametric method is proposed for modeling three-dimensional (time-resolved) vibronic spectra of polyatomic molecules. The method is based on the use of the fragment approach in the formation of molecular models for excited electronic states and parametrization of these molecular fragments by modeling conventional (one-dimensional) absorption and fluorescence spectra of polyatomic molecules. All matrix elements that are required for calculation of the spectra can be found by the methods developed. The time dependencies of the populations of a great number (>10^3) of vibronic levels can be most conveniently found by using the iterative numerical method of integration of kinetic equations. Convenient numerical algorithms and specialized software for PC are developed. Computer experiments showed the possibility of the real-time modeling of three-dimensional spectra of polyatomic molecules containing several tens of atoms.

The best way to investigate its viabilityis to derive observable predictions which yield evidence or constraints for the model, when compared with actual observations. In this paper we derive the photon sphere and the perihelion shift for weak $f(T)$ perturbations of general relativity. We consistently calculate first order teleparallel perturbations of Schwarzschild and Minkowski spacetime geometry, with which we improve and extend existing results in the literature.

description: Component reuse is the use of components (e.g. subsystems or single objects) of one application in another application, and individual informal reuse has been common since the first programs were written. However, organization-wide component reuse, also known as Component-based Software Engineering (CBSE), has yet to gain universal acceptance despite the benefits having been recognized since the late 1960s. The initial barriers to its implementation were related to technical incompatibility. Applications were specifically written for a particular computer’s hardware/operating system and its components did not run on other systems. Research focussed on solutions to technology-related barriers. By the 1990s, many of the technical issues had been addressed, but the take-up rate of CBSE remained low, prompting an increased research interest into non-technical issues. The research question in this study is “What are the non-technical barriers to the organisation-wide adoption of CBSE and how do these barriers manifest themselves?”. The key non-technical barriers were identified as social interaction, human and organizational systems issues, which formed the basis of the three research questions.

description: Quadrupole excitations of neutron-rich nuclei are analyzed by using the linear response method in the Quasiparticle Random Phase Approximation (QRPA). The QRPA response is derived starting from the time-dependent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) equations. The residual interaction between the quasiparticles is determined consistently from the two-body force used in the HFB equations, and the continuum coupling is treated exactly. Calculations are done for the neutron-rich oxygen isotopes. It is found that pairing correlations affect the low-lying states, and that a full treatment of the continuum can change the structure of the states in the giant resonance region.

description: We study the process of cosmic reionization and estimate the ionizing background in the IGM using the Lyman series absorption in the spectra of the four quasars at 5.710^{-3} at z~6. At this redshift, the mass-averaged neutral hydrogen fraction is larger than 1%; the mildly overdense regions (delta > 3) are still mostly neutral and the comoving mean free path of ionizing photons is shorter than 8 Mpc. Comparison with simulations of cosmological reionization shows that the observed properties of the IGM at z~6 are typical of those in the era at the end of the overlap stage of reionization when the individual HII regions merge. Thus, z~6 marks the end of the reionization epoch. The redshift of reionization constrains the small scale power of the mass density fluctuations and the star forming efficiency of the first generation of objects.

description: Background: Little is known about the relationship between women's birthing experiences and the development of trauma symptoms. This study aimed to determine the incidence of acute trauma symptoms and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in women as a result of their labor and delivery experiences, and identify factors that contributed to the women's psychological distress. Method: Using a prospective, longitudinal design, women in their last trimester of pregnancy were recruited from four public hospital antenatal clinics. Four to six weeks postpartum, telephone interviews were conducted with participants (n = 499) and explored the medical and midwifery management of the birth, perceptions of intrapartum care, and the presence of trauma symptoms. Results: One in three women (33%) identified a traumatic birthing event and reported the presence of at least three trauma symptoms. Twenty-eight women (5.6%) met DSM-IV criteria for acute posttraumatic stress disorder. Antenatal variables were not found to contribute to the development of acute or chronic trauma symptoms. The level of obstetric intervention experienced during childbirth (beta = .351, p <.0001) and the perception of inadequate intrapartum care (beta = .319, p <.0001) during labor were consistently associated with the development of acute trauma symptoms. Conclusions: Posttraumatic stress disorder following childbirth is an under-recognized phenomenon. Women who experienced both a high level of obstetric intervention and were dissatisfied with their intrapartum care were more likely to develop trauma symptoms than women who received a high level of obstetric intervention or women who perceived their care to be inadequate. Such findings should prompt a serious review of intrusive obstetric intervention during labor and delivery, and the psychological care provided to birthing women.

description: The possibility of using time-resolved vibronic spectroscopy for spectral analysis of mixtures of chemical compounds with similar optical properties, when traditional methods are inefficient, is demonstrated by using the method of computer simulation. The analysis is carried out by the example of molecules of a series of polyenes (butadiene, hexatraene, octatetraene, decapentaene, and decatetraene), their various cis- and trans-rotational isomers, and phenyl-substituted polyenes. Ranges of relative concentrations of molecules similar in their spectral properties, where reliable interpretation of time-resolved spectra of mixtures and both qualitative and quantitative analyses are possible, are determined. The use of computer simulation methods for oprimizing full-scale experiments in femtosecond spectroscopy is shown to hold much promise.

description: The fission barriers of the nuclei 254Fm, 256Fm, 258Fm, 258No and 260Rf are investigated in a fully microscopic way up to the scission point. The analysis is based on the constrained Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory and Gogny's D1S force. The quadrupole, octupole and hexadecapole moments as well as the number of nucleons in the neck region are used as constraints. Two fission paths, corresponding to the bimodal fission, are found. The decrease with isotope mass of the half-life times of heavy Fm isotopes is also explained.

description: Engineered nanomaterials (ENM) are being used in a wide range of consumer products and pharmaceuticals; hence, there is an increasing risk for human exposure and potential adverse outcomes. The immune system, vital in host defense and protection against environmental agents, is typically initiated and executed by innate effector immune cells including macrophages and neutrophils. Previous literature has reported the immune system as a major target of ENM toxicity; however, there is inconsistency regarding the immunotoxicity of ENM. This could be attributed to differences in ENM physicochemical properties, cellular models examined, biocorona formation, etc. Thus, the current study examined the toxicity and immunomodulatory effects of silver nanoparticles (AgNP), one of the most utilized ENM in consumer and medical products, in two key innate immune cell models, e.g. RAW 264.7 cells (macrophages) and differentiated MPRO 2.1 cells (promyelocytes/neutrophils). The results showed that despite a generation of reactive oxygen species, exposure to 20 nm citrate-coated AgNP was not associated with major oxidative damage, inflammatory responses, nor cytotoxicity. Nevertheless, and most importantly, pre-exposure to the AgNP for 24 h enhanced RAW 264.7 cell phagocytic ability as well as the release of inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In MPRO 2.1 cells, AgNP pre-exposure also resulted in enhanced phagocytic ability; however, these cells manifest reduced cell degranulation (elastase release) and oxidative burst in response to phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). Taken together, these findings indicated to us that exposure to AgNP, despite not being directly (cyto)toxic to these cells, had the potential to alter immune cell responses. The findings underscore the import of assessing immune cell function post-exposure to ENM beyond the standard endpoints such as oxidative stress and cytotoxicity. In addition, these findings further illustrate the importance of understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms of ENM-cellular interactions, particularly in the immune system.

title: Chinese as a LOTE in the Asian Century - A study on students' attitudes to and practices in Chinese as a LOTE subject in Queensland primary schools

description: This study aims to explore Australian primary school students’ attitudes towards learning Chinese as a LOTE (Language Other Than English). It is a case study of students who are learning Chinese in two Queensland primary schools (one public and one private) where Chinese is a compulsory course. Using a mixed-method approach, this study focuses on students’ attitudes to learning Chinese. As the Chinese language is becoming increasingly popular in Australian schools, it is essential to understand how students feel about learning the language and what their learning needs are. Knowing students’ language attitudes may also help language teachers to design more appropriate curricula and pedagogical practices to assist students with improving their Chinese language proficiency. Because most primary school children are beginning learners in LOTE Chinese, this study aimed to investigate students’ attitudes towards exploring the new language and culture at a young age. This study focuses on the following research questions: 1) What are students’ attitudes to learning Chinese in Australian primary schools where Chinese is a compulsory course? 2) What are the factors that affect students’ attitudes to learning Chinese? 3) How do different experiences of Chinese curriculum and pedagogy affect students’ attitudes towards Chinese language learning? From an investigation into these research questions, the study’s outcomes include a detailed understanding of students’ attitudes to learning Chinese as a second language. After analysing and comparing the data of the two schools, the main finding is that there was a big difference between the public school and the private school regarding resources, teaching methods and support from within the schools. All these factors influence students’ interest and attitudes towards learning Chinese language, and the findings have practical implications for future Chinese teaching and learning.
Accelerated Particles from Shocks Formed in Merging Clusters of Galaxies

description: Subcluster interactions within clusters of galaxies produce shocks that accelerate nonthermal particles. We treat Fermi acceleration of nonthermal electrons and protons by injecting power-law distributions of particles during the merger event, subject to constraints on maximum particle energies. The broadband nonthermal spectrum emitted by accelerated electrons and protons is calculated during and following the subcluster interaction for a standard parameter set. The intensity of gamma-ray emission from primary and secondary processes is calculated and discussed in light of detection capabilities at radio and gamma-ray energies.

description: It is well established that gene expression can be modeled as a Markovian stochastic process and hence proper observables might be subjected to large fluctuations and rare events. Since dynamics is often more than statics, one can work with ensembles of trajectories for long but fixed times, instead of states or configurations, to study dynamics of these Markovian stochastic processes and glean more information. In this paper we aim to show that the concept of ensemble of trajectories can be applied to a variety of stochastic models of gene expression ranging from a simple birth-death process to a more sophisticate model containing burst and switch. By considering the protein numbers as a relevant dynamical observable, apart from asymptotic behavior of remote tails of probability distribution, generating function for the cumulants of this observable can also be obtained. We discuss the unconditional stochastic Markov processes which generate the statistics of rare events in these models.

description: We present high signal-to-noise Keck spectra for 10 globular clusters associated with the giant Fornax elliptical NGC 1399, and compare measured line indices with current stellar population models. Our data convincingly demonstrate, for the first time, that at least some of the clusters in a giant elliptical galaxy have super-solar abundance ratios, similar to the host galaxy. From Hbeta line-strengths the majority of clusters have ages of ~11 Gyrs (within 2sigma), which is similar to the luminosity-weighted stellar age of NGC 1399. Two of the clusters (which also reveal enhanced abundance ratios) show significantly higher Hbeta values than the others. It remains unclear whether this is due to young (~2 Gyr) ages, or extremely old (> 15 Gyr) ages with a warm blue horizontal branch. However a conflict with current cosmological parameters is avoided if the young age is favored. Either alternative indicates a complicated age distribution among the metal-rich clusters and sets interesting constraints on their chemical enrichment at late epochs.

description: We have searched for companion galaxies in the close environment of 98 star-forming dwarf galaxies (SFDGs) from field and low density environments, using the NASA Extragalactic Database. Most of the companions are dwarf galaxies which due to observational selection effects were previously disregarded in environmental studies of SFDGs. A subsample at low redshift, cz<2000 km/s, was chosen to partially eliminate the observational bias against distant dwarf companions. We find companion candidates for approximately 30% of the objects within a projected linear separation s_p<100 kpc and a redshift difference (Delta cz)<500 km/s. The limited completeness of the available data sets, together with the non-negligible frequency of HI clouds in the vicinity of SFDGs indicated by recent radio surveys, suggest that a considerably larger fraction of these galaxies may be accompanied by low-mass systems. This casts doubt on the hypothesis that the majority of them can be considered truly isolated. The velocity differences between companion candidates and sample SFDGs amount typically to (Delta cz)<250 km/s, and show a rising distribution towards lower (Delta cz). This is similarly found for dwarf satellites of spiral galaxies, suggesting a physical association between the companion candidates and the sample SFDGs. SFDGs with a close companion do not show significant differences in their Hbeta equivalent widths and B-V colours as compared to isolated ones. However, the available data do not allow us to rule out that interactions with close dwarf companions can influence the star formation activity in SFDGs.
