description: We present the results of a spectroscopic survey of the kinematic structure of star-forming galaxies at redshift z ~ 2 - 3 using Keck/OSIRIS integral field spectroscopy. Our sample is comprised of 12 galaxies between redshifts z ~ 2.0 and 2.5 and one galaxy at z ~ 3.3 which are well detected in either HAlpha or [O III] emission. These observations were obtained in conjunction with the Keck laser guide star adaptive optics system, with a typical angular resolution after spatial smoothing ~ 0.15" (approximately 1 kpc at the redshift of the target sample). At most five of these 13 galaxies have spatially resolved velocity gradients consistent with rotation while the remaining galaxies have relatively featureless or irregular velocity fields. All of our galaxies show local velocity dispersions ~ 60 - 100 km/s, suggesting that (particularly for those galaxies with featureless velocity fields) rotation about a preferred axis may not be the dominant mechanism of physical support. While some galaxies show evidence for major mergers such evidence is unrelated to the kinematics of individual components (one of our strongest merger candidates also exhibits unambiguous rotational structure), refuting a simple bimodal disk/merger classification scheme. We discuss these data in light of complementary surveys and extant UV-IR spectroscopy and photometry, concluding that the dynamical importance of cold gas may be the primary factor governing the observed kinematics of z ~ 2 galaxies. We conclude by speculating on the importance of mechanisms for accreting low angular-momentum gas and the early formation of quasi-spheroidal systems in the young universe.(abridged)

description: Smartphones are a preferred platform to access audiovisual stories. Prior theory and research suggest that using smaller screens could lead to a shallower narrative experience. In three experiments we examined the influence of screen size (smartphone vs. computer screen) on the experience of being transported into the world of the story (narrative transportation). We further examined interaction effects with manipulations meant to change transportation by means of reviews (Experiment 1, N = 120), consistency of main character information (Experiment 2, N = 139), and prior information meant to facilitate comprehension (Experiment 3, N = 129). Because our series of studies involved theoretically and practically relevant null hypotheses (i.e., screen size does not influence transportation), we added Bayes factor analyses to standard frequentist statistics. A mini meta-analysis was conducted to summarize the results. Taken together, the three experiments indicate that smaller screen size does not impair narrative transportation. Implications and future research are discussed.
The mezzo-soprano voice : an attempt to qualify the voice through definition and examination of selected operatic repertoire
Creators: name: Smith, MK
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: In female voices, 'soprano' and 'contralto' are terms readily used to describe the high and low voice respectively. The term 'mezzo-soprano', on the other hand, has often added an air of confusion, as it refers to something in between. Because of this, the mezzo-soprano voice has become one of the least understood and difficult of all voice types to define. The first section of this dissertation attempts to clarify the nature of the mezzo-soprano voice, with emphasis on range, timbre, tessitura, registration and anatomy. A brief history of the emergence of the mezzo-soprano voice follows, leading into its development and acceptance as an operatic instrument. It is in opera that the real voice is revealed, with such variables as range and quality being linked to the roles that have to be portrayed. During its chequered history and its subsequent struggle for recognition, the demands upon and expectations of the mezzo-soprano voice have changed. By examining repertoire for the voice - from the time of the castrato, through to the prima donna roles of Rossini, the dramatic use of the voice by Verdi and the favouring of the voice by mid-ninteenth century French composers - the characteristics of the mezzo-soprano voice begin to emerge and its identification becomes much clearer.

description: We report on precise low-temperature specific-heat measurements, C(T), of YbRh2Si2 in the vicinity of the antiferromagnetic phase transition on a single crystal of superior quality (RRR 150). We observe a very sharp peak at T_N=72mK with absolute values as high as C/T=8J/molK^2. A detailed analysis of the critical exponent αaround T_N reveals α=0.38 which differs significantly from those of the conventional universality classes in the Ginzburg-Landau theory, where α<0.11. Thermal-expansion measurements corroborate this large positive critical exponent. These results provide insight into the nature of the critical magnetic fluctuations at a temperature-driven phase transition close to a quantum critical point.

description: In an effort to stave off racial and geographic prejudices, The World Health Organization (WHO) has advised against naming pathogens for geographic regions. Despite this, some media reports, and prominent politicians, have persisted in calling the coronavirus the “Chinese Virus,” or some variant thereof. In this pre-registered online experiment (N = 614), we examined the effect media frames and individual factors (i.e., political affiliation and party) had on perceptions of COVID-19, prejudice against Chinese- and Asian-Americans, and attributing blame to China for the coronavirus. We found that articles that labeled the coronavirus the “Chinese Virus” (versus the “COVID-19 Virus”) were perceived less favorably by Democrats and liberals, in comparison to Republicans and conservatives, who were also more likely to express greater racial prejudice against Chinese- and Asian-Americans and to blame China for the pandemic. Findings from this study suggest that amongst a host of other variables, media framing has an effect on the public’s attitudes and feelings of blame for the pandemic.

Recurrent Neural Networks for Earthquake Predictions in Indonesia
Creators: name: Hasanah, Nur
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2025

description: Indonesia is one of the most earthquake-prone countries, with frequent and devastating quakes causing loss of life and widespread destruction. While traditional prediction methods provide useful insights, they often struggle to capture complex seismic patterns, reducing early warning effectiveness. This research develops advanced neural network models, a type of machine learning that mimics human learning, to analyze past earthquake data and detect patterns that predict future events. Using earthquake records from Indonesia, these models improve forecasts of earthquake size and timing. By enhancing prediction accuracy, this study strengthens early warning systems, giving communities more time to prepare and reducing disaster impact.

At a beam energy of 1.76A GeV the reaction Ar+KCl was studied with the High Acceptance Di-Electron Spectrometer (HADES) at SIS18/GSI. A high-statistics and high-purity $Λ$ sample was collected, allowing for the investigation of the decay channel $Ξ^- \to Λπ^-$.

description: The aim of the Deliverable 5.7 “Final report on Warsaw Demonstration execution” is to present the timeline and details of preparation and execution of Warsaw Demonstration taking place as a part of the IP4MaaS project within the framework of the Shift2Rail Joint Undertaking. The demonstrated technologies were selected functionalities of the Travel Companion application. The demonstration consisted in passing on the Travel Companion application to a group of recruited testers who were given a link to download and install the Travel Companion application, use it while travelling by means of Warsaw Public Transport (i.e., buses, trams, metro, city trains) and to provide us feedback regarding the selected functionalities with the use of the online User Satisfaction Index questionnaire form. The USI questionnaire was developed as part of the WP3, task T3.2 “User satisfaction with IP4 solutions”.To this end, the Deliverable 5.7 outlines the various activities that took place as part of coordination and fostering of the Warsaw Demo preparation and execution, reports the contribution of the Warsaw demonstration team to technological integration, reports the internal testing of the integrated technology and the outcomes and findings of the Warsaw demonstration activities.
Putting religion in its place : belief, trauma, faith and healing
Creators: name: St John, EC
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Western culture is suffering from a serious malaise characterised by social, personal and environmental breakdown. Many contemporary and influential commentators blame much of this breakdown on the failings of religion and advocate its complete eradication from civic life. In this thesis I argue that this diagnosis is erroneous for a number of reasons, but particularly because it focuses on the \truth claims or content of religion rather than its process. I use a different construct of religion based on the work of Jakob Fries and Friedrich Schleiermacher who argue that religion is not about beliefs but rather about the human capacity to feel which is an indelible capacity of the human mind and body. I have been led by this conceptualisation to discern a subtle but inextricable link between theology and psychotherapy and to argue that perhaps one can directly inform the other. The recently developed fields of attachment and trauma theory are used to illustrate and support this argument. Dissociation or feeling distortion is a natural and healthy response to trauma but unmanaged it gives rise to isolation which leads to the development of a variety of dysfunctional conditions including addiction criminality violence depression and suicide. Such isolation is a microcosmic replication of ontological isolation - the inevitable and unavoidable condition of self-conscious human being which can lead to the same kinds of dysfunction that can be observed in dissociated and traumatised individuals. The various structures of which perhaps the most notable is religion that have developed in human societies as a way to manage both personal and ontological isolation have been significantly eroded since the beginning of the European Enlightenment. This erosion has combined with the traumas of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and now the threat of environmental catastrophe to leave human beings ill-equipped to manage the chaotic and terrifying character of the contemporary world. The result is destructive dissociative behaviour on a global scale. In response I make a case for a fundamental reconstruction of social institutions including religious ones to promote awareness of the dangers of isolation and trauma and to provide structures for the re-establishment of authentic affective relationships between people and between people and their place of being the earth."
Combining high-contrast imaging with high-resolution spectroscopy: Actual on-sky MIRI/MRS results compared to expectations

description: CONTEXT: Combining high-contrast imaging with high-resolution spectroscopy offers a powerful way to detect and characterize exoplanets around nearby stars, despite challenges linked to their faintness. Instruments like VLT/SPHERE are state of the art in high-contrast imaging, but their spectral resolution (R=50) limits them to basic characterization of close companions. These systems can detect planets down to 5-10 Mjup at 10 AU from their stars. Detection limits are mainly constrained by speckle noise, which dominates over photon and detector noise at short separations, even with advanced differential imaging. Space-based high-contrast imaging is also limited by image stability. Speckle noise can, however, be mitigated through molecular mapping, a technique that leverages high-resolution spectroscopic data.
 AIMS: We aim to predict detection limits in spectro-imaging after molecular mapping, analyzing how photon and detector noise propagate and comparing predictions with real data to assess performance losses from instrumental effects. We also propose mitigation strategies and validate our model using observations.
 METHODS: We analyzed JWST/MIRI/MRS data with FastCurves, an numerical tool, and compared results to outputs from the MIRI simulator. We also applied principal component analysis (PCA) to identify and isolate systematic effects, with and without molecular mapping.
 RESULTS: We studied various systematic effects and their impacts on signal and noise. PCA helped highlight and reduce straylight, fringes, and aliasing. We further compared observed and modeled companion spectra.
 CONCLUSIONS: FastCurves was improved to account for systematics and validated with real data. In high-flux regimes, systematics impose contrast limits even with molecular mapping. Our approach could benefit other instruments and inform the planning of future facilities like ELT/ANDES and ELT/PCS.

description: The electronic structure of NaFeAs is studied with angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy on high quality single crystals. Large portions of the band structure start to shift around the structural transition temperature, and smoothly evolve as the temperature lowers through the spin density wave transition. Moreover, band folding due to magnetic order emerges around structural transition. Our observation provides direct evidence that the structural and magnetic transitions share the same origin, and are both driven by the electronic structure reconstruction in Fe-based superconductors, instead of Fermi surface nesting.

Studies on nucleoside 3', 5'-cyclic monophosphate 3'-phosphohydrolase from brain
Creators: name: Wickson, Robert Douglas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A nucleoside 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate 3'-phosphohydrolase was partially purified from bovine cerebral cortex. The enzyme isolated hydrolyzed both cyclic AMP (K[sub m] = 30 uM) and cyclic GMP (K[sub m] = 3 uM). In the absence of metal ions, no activity was observed. Divalent cations (Mg⁺⁺ ≃ Mn⁺⁺ > Co⁺⁺ > Ni⁺⁺) stimulated activity with the activator constants being very low (e.g., 4.5 uM for Mg⁺⁺). Cyclic GMP inhibited cyclic AMP hydrolysis and vice versa. Cyclic AMP inhibition of cyclic GMP hydrolysis was competitive with a K[sub i] of 25 uM (cf., K[sub M] = 30 uM) indicating the presence of a single enzyme. 3-Isobutyl-l-methylxanthine inhibited cyclic AMP hydrolysis competitively with a of 1.5 uM. Gel filtration of the partially purified enzyme showed a decrease in the apparent molecular weight in the presence of Mg⁺⁺ and a further decrease in the presence of Mg⁺⁺ plus Ca⁺⁺. The phosphodiesterase present in the crude homogenate was inhibited by EGTA and activated by Ca⁺⁺. During DEAE-cellulose chromatography, a heat-stable protein factor was separated from the enzyme. In the absence of this factor, no stimulation by Ca⁺⁺ was observed. Phosphodiesterase was shown to require both this protein activator and Ca⁺⁺ in order to be stimulated. A model for the activation was proposed based upon the data obtained from kinetic experiments. Increasing concentrations of Ca⁺⁺ decreased the apparent activator constant for protein activator while increasing protein activator concentrations decreased the apparent activator constant for Ca⁺⁺. The observed activation by Ca⁺⁺ and protein activator suggested a means by which downward sloping Lineweaver-Burk plots could be obtained. In the case of phosphodiesterase, downward sloping Lineweaver-Burk plots have been interpreted by other workers as negative cooperativity. In the crude homogenate, there appeared to be a low K[sub m] phosphodiesterase specific for cyclic AMP in addition to the high K[sub m] enzyme partially purified. Calculations suggested that the high K[sub m] enzyme was at least as important as the low K[sub m] enzyme in hydrolyzing cyclic AMP. In addition, these calculations suggested that phosphodiesterase activity was not in a 10 to 100-fold excess over adenyl cyclase (or guanyl cyclase) activity. Phosphodiesterase and adenyl cyclase activities are probably delicately balanced, with any change in either of their activities capable of effecting changes in cyclic AMP concentrations.

Longitudinal study of multiple scherosis in southern Tasmania : description of cohort and impact of demographic, disease, individual and lifestyle factors on clinical multiple sclerosis disability and progression
Creators: name: Pittas, Fotini
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis presents results of a prevalence survey and longitudinal cohort study (2002 to 2005) of people with clinically definite Multiple Sclerosis (MS) resident in Southern Tasmania (62-telephone area code). Case ascertainment was from multiple sources. In the longitudinal study, exposures included demographic (eg gender), disease (e.g. MS course), individual (e.g. BMI) and lifestyle (e.g. smoking) characteristics. Clinical outcome measures included the Expanded Disability Status Scale, Multiple Sclerosis Severity Score, Scripps Neurological Rating Scale and Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite. Participants were reviewed face-to-face at baseline and 6 monthly thereafter during winter and summer. Questionnaires were filled and blood samples taken at every review. Clinical outcome measures were assessed at baseline and during subsequent winter reviews. The aim of this report was to identify the prevalence of MS in Southern Tasmania, to assess whether the longitudinal cohort was representative and to determine whether various exposures influenced clinical MS disability. Univariate linear regression and generalised estimator equations (GEE) models were used to examine associations between exposures and clinical outcomes. Adjustment for confounders was conducted for significant associations. On census day (7/08/2001) 256 cases were identified in the study region which had an eligible source population of 223 602, giving a crude prevalence rate of 114.5/100 OOO. In total 198 people (70% of eligible individuals) were recruited to the longitudinal study. Over 90% of participants remained in the study from their initial review to study end. Several novel results were obtained regarding exposure and MS disability. Highest level of education completed at baseline was negatively associated with disability (population average EDSS coefficient -0.57, 95% Cl -1.15 to -0.00, P<0.05, adjusted GEE model) and progression (annual change EDSS coefficient -0.22, 95% Cl -0.37 to -0.06, P<0.05, adjusted GEE model). Overweight participants had faster disease progression over the study period (annual change EDSS coefficient 0.19, 95% Cl 0.02 to 0.35, P<0.05, adjusted GEE model). Level of smoking during the study period was positively associated with disease progression. Participants born in summer progressed more than those born in other seasons with level of in utero UVR exposure during the third trimester negatively associated with MS disability. Females who were >13 years old at menarche were less disabled and had slower disease progression. In conclusion, this thesis demonstrates that the prevalence of MS in Southern Tasmania has increased, that several modifiable factors hasten MS progression and that exposures in early life may impact on MS progression.

description: It is now possible to theoretically calculate the gravitational-wave signal from the inspiral, merger and ringdown of a black-hole-binary system. The late inspiral, merger and ringdown can be calculated in full general relativity using numerical methods. The numerical waveforms can then be either stitched to inspiral waveforms predicted by approximation techniques (in particular post-Newtonian calculations) that start at an arbitrarily low frequency, or used to calibrate free parameters in analytic models of the full waveforms. In this review I summarize the status of numerical-relativity (NR) waveforms that include at least ten cycles of the dominant mode of the GW signal before merger, which should be long enough to produce accurate, complete waveforms for GW observations.

description: In this paper we consider large-scale composite nonconvex optimization problems having the objective function formed as a sum of three terms, first has block coordinate-wise Lipschitz continuous gradient, second is twice differentiable but nonseparable and third is the indicator function of some separable closed convex set. Under these general settings we derive and analyze a new cyclic coordinate descent method, which uses the partial gradient of the differentiable part of the objective, yielding a coordinate gradient descent scheme with a novel adaptive stepsize rule. We prove that this stepsize rule makes the coordinate gradient scheme a descent method, provided that additional assumptions hold for the second term in the objective function. We also present a worst-case complexity analysis for this new method in the nonconvex settings. Numerical results on orthogonal nonnegative matrix factorization problem also confirm the efficiency of our algorithm.

description: The Sun is the most studied of all stars, and thus constitutes a benchmark for stellar models. However, our vision of the Sun is still incomplete, as illustrated by the current debate on its chemical composition. The problem reaches far beyond chemical abundances and is intimately linked to microscopic and macroscopic physical ingredients of solar models such as radiative opacity, for which experimental results have been recently measured that still await theoretical explanations. We present opacity profiles derived from helioseismic inferences and compare them with detailed theoretical computations of individual element contributions using three different opacity computation codes, in a complementary way to experimental results. We find that our seismic opacity is about 10% higher than theoretical values used in current solar models around 2 million degrees, but lower by 35% than some recent available theoretical values. Using the Sun as a laboratory of fundamental physics, we show that quantitative comparisons between various opacity tables are required to understand the origin of the discrepancies between reported helioseismic, theoretical and experimental opacity values.

description: Designing and implementing comprehensive IT-based support environments for KM in organizations is fraught with many problems. Solving them requires intimate knowledge about the information usage in knowledge works and the scopes of technology intervention. In this paper, the Task-oriented Organizational Knowledge Management or TOKM, a design theory for building integrated IT platforms for supporting organizational KM, is proposed. TOKM brings together two apparently mutually exclusive practices of building KM systems, the task-based approach and the generic or universalistic approach. In developing the design, the information requirements of knowledge workers in light of an information usage model of knowledge works is studied. Then the model is extended to study possibilities of more advanced IT support and formulate them in form of a set of meta-requirements. Following the IS design theory paradigm, a set of artifacts are hypothesized to meet the requirements. Finally, a design method, as a possible approach of building an IT-based integrated platform, the Knowledge Work Support Platform (KWSP) to realize the artifacts in order to meet the requirements, is outlined. The KWSP is a powerful platform for building and maintaining a number of task-type specific Knowledge Work Support Systems (KWSS) on a common sharable platform. Each KWSS, for the task-type supported by it, can be easily designed to provide extensive and sophisticated support to individual as well as group of knowledge workers in performing their respective knowledge work instances

description: This study focuses on Embodied Complex-Question Answering task, which means the embodied robot need to understand human questions with intricate structures and abstract semantics. The core of this task lies in making appropriate plans based on the perception of the visual environment. Existing methods often generate plans in a once-for-all manner, i.e., one-step planning. Such approach rely on large models, without sufficient understanding of the environment. Considering multi-step planning, the framework for formulating plans in a sequential manner is proposed in this paper. To ensure the ability of our framework to tackle complex questions, we create a structured semantic space, where hierarchical visual perception and chain expression of the question essence can achieve iterative interaction. This space makes sequential task planning possible. Within the framework, we first parse human natural language based on a visual hierarchical scene graph, which can clarify the intention of the question. Then, we incorporate external rules to make a plan for current step, weakening the reliance on large models. Every plan is generated based on feedback from visual perception, with multiple rounds of interaction until an answer is obtained. This approach enables continuous feedback and adjustment, allowing the robot to optimize its action strategy. To test our framework, we contribute a new dataset with more complex questions. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach performs excellently and stably on complex tasks. And also, the feasibility of our approach in real-world scenarios has been established, indicating its practical applicability.

description: By using different interface adapters for different methods, it is possible to construct a maximally covering web of interface adapters which incurs minimum loss during interface adaptation. We introduce a polynomial-time algorithm that can achieve this. However, we also show that minimizing the number of adapters included in a maximally covering web of interface adapters is an NP-complete problem.

description: Some models for quantum gravity (QG) violate Lorentz invariance and predict an energy dependence of the speed of light, leading to a dispersion of high-energy gamma-ray signals that travel over cosmological distances. Limits on the dispersion from short-duration substructures observed in gamma-rays emitted by gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) at cosmological distances have provided interesting bounds on Lorentz invariance violation (LIV). Recent observations of unprecedentedly fast flares in the very-high energy gamma-ray emission of the active galactic nuclei (AGNs) Mkn 501 in 2005 and PKS 2155-304 in 2006 resulted in the most constraining limits on LIV from light-travel observations, approaching the Planck mass scale, at which QG effects are assumed to become important. I review the current status of LIV searches using GRBs and AGN flare events, and discuss limitations of light-travel time analyses and prospects for future instruments in the gamma-ray domain.

An evaluation of nutrition education in outpatient cardiac rehabilitation programs in Victoria
Creators: name: Paxton, Fay
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Outpatient cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs comprise exercise and education, including nutrition education (NE), and are offered after hospitalisation in order to minimise the risk of further cardiac events. A five-part evaluation of NE in outpatient CR programs in Victoria was undertaken. Initially, a survey-based process evaluation of all outpatient programs (N = 74) found that most had a very limited amount of NE. Dietary fat was a topic common to all and most programs used knowledge-based, didactic education that was not based on a specific model of behaviour change. In a second process evaluation, CR participants (n = 317) were surveyed by questionnaire before NE. The majority were older, overweight, English-speaking men who were myocardial infarction and/or cardiac surgery patients. Knowledge of dietary fat was generally poor but attitude to healthy eating was positive and fat intake was relatively low. A quasi-experimental comparison group program trial was used for an impact evaluation of the effectiveness of NE, with one experimental group (n = 80) having one hour of NE, a second experimental group (n = 80) having 41/2 hours of NE, with additional access to the dietitian, and a comparison group (n = 80) having no NE. The 41/2-hour group improved in attitude to healthy eating and had a greater improvement in dietary fat knowledge and a greater reduction in fat intake. In a third survey-based process evaluation, most participants were found to be satisfied with NE but older participants were less satisfied. The amount of NE was weakly associated with satisfaction. A one-year follow-up outcome evaluation of CR participants (n = 44) showed that most were overweight at CR and had increased their BMI at follow-up. Fat knowledge, attitude and intake had not changed and subjects' diets generally accorded with recommendations for patients with heart disease, although mean saturated fat intake was higher. Further research is required to determine the most appropriate behaviour change model for NE in CR programs and the most effective format and educational strategies for facilitating compliance with diets for heart disease.

description: We report on spectroscopic study of pyrolytic hBN (pBN) by means of time- and energy- resolved photoluminescence methods. A high purity of pBN samples (though low crystallinity) allows complementary information about excited states involved into the luminescence process. We affirm our recent conclusions about the impurity-related nature of most of the fluorescence bands in microcrystalline hBN. In addition, a broad band centred at 3.7 eV previously not considered because of its superposition with an intense structured impurity emission is attributed to the radiative recombination of deep DAPs.
