description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Research) to the School of Psychological Science, Faculty of Science, Technology and Engineering, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

Understanding working memory (WM) as a fundamental cognitive process has showed constant evolution over the last five decades. However, while there is a consensus over the definition of WM as a short-term retention of information, involving decision making and goal-based behaviour, controversy remains on the temporal sequence and location of neural processes of WM. Therefore, this thesis aimed to update a 10 year old neuroanatomical meta-analysis of a common measure of WM, the n-back task, utilizing newly updated specialized software, stricter inclusion criteria and more recent studies. Fifty -seven of 316 papers reviewed fitted the inclusion criteria. Results also revealed a similar fronto-parietal network to that previously described, with greater bilateral parietal involvement and left parietal activation consistently across divisions of task demands, with less hemispheric lateralization dependent on task type, and more sites activated outside the fronto-parietal network. The second study aimed to compare maintenance of visuo-spatial stimuli via neuroimaging of an n-back task utilizing a 1-back design with 3D cube shapes, with maintenance plus manipulation via mental rotation of the shapes. Sixteen healthy adults (9 females; M = 23.94 years, SD = 2.49) performed the task while fMRI scans were acquired. When rotation was not required, right fronto-parietal areas were activated, consistent with previous research. However, when the task involved mental rotation, activation was predominantly in bilateral parietal lobule and left fusiform gyrus. This highlights that WM incorporates more areas as needed by task demands, emphasizing the importance of the parietal contribution to WM. In conclusion, there is a need to move away from traditional functional segregation of cognitive tasks, towards a network inclusion view of cognition.

description: A giant planet embedded in a protoplanetary disk creates a gap. This process is important for both theory and observations. Using results of a survey for a wide parameter range with two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations, we constructed an empirical formula for the gap structure (i.e., the radial surface density distribution), which can reproduce the gap width and depth obtained by two-dimensional simulations. This formula enables us to judge whether an observed gap is likely to be caused by an embedded planet or not. The propagation of waves launched by the planet is closely connected to the gap structure. It makes the gap wider and shallower as compared with the case where an instantaneous wave damping is assumed. The hydrodynamic simulations shows that the waves do not decay immediately at the launching point of waves, even when the planet is as massive as Jupiter. Based on the results of hydrodynamic simulations, we also obtained an empirical model of wave propagation and damping for the cases of deep gaps. The one-dimensional gap model with our wave propagation model is able to well reproduce the gap structures in hydrodynamic simulations. In the case of a Jupiter-mass planet, we also found that the waves with smaller wavenumber (e.g., $m=2$) are excited and transport the angular momentum to the location far away from the planet. The wave with $m=2$ is closely related with a secondary wave launched by the site opposite from the planet.

description: This paper is about the identification of lumped elements within an electric circuit diagram in the context of electromagnetic sheet metal forming. Based on fundamental physical considerations the forming coil and its workpiece can be modeled as a transformer, which is loaded on its secondary side by a resistor. A systematic oriented design process relating to an aimed at purpose is introduced in order to avoid time extensive trial-anderror methods. Based upon the theory of electromagnetic field equations, the complex impedance of the sheet metal is analytically identified as a function of the radial component. Based on the introduction of a force equivalent quantity, ways of designing and optimizing the remaining free parameters are presented. Thus, a design process for a forming facility is possible as the desired electromagnetic force can be characterized by the currents running through the forming coil and the sheet metal.

THE DETERMINATION OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IN SEA WATER USING FLOW INJECTION WITH CHEMILUMINESCENCE DETECTION
Creators: name: PRICE, DAVID
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1995

description: This thesis describes the design, assembly and optimisation of a flow injection-chemiluminescence (FI-CL) procedure for the determination of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in seawater. An overview of the biogeochemical importance of H2O2 in seawater is presented in Chapter One. The use of both flow injection and chemiluminescence based methods are also reviewed. Chapter Two describes the type of analytical instrumentation used in both flow injection and chemiluminescence methods. Each component is described and its suitability to the FI-CL method discussed. Two detection systems; photomultiplier tube and photodiode, and two flow cell designs; coiled glass and lamina, were compared for their suitability to the method. A charge coupled device was used to obtain the CL spectra of the luminol CL reaction and automation of the FI manifold is also described. Chapters Three and Four describe the optimisation of the FI-CL method and its suitability to the determination of H2O2 in natural waters (river, estuarine and sea). Matrix efifects are investigated and a standard addition procedure described. The analytical figures of merit for H2O2 determination include a limit of detection of 10 nM and a linear range of 10-500 nM. The application of the fully optimised method to the in situ determination of H2O2 in the western Mediterranean is described in Chapter Five. Hydrogen peroxide depth profiles are presented from different geographical areas and diurnal variations in H2O2 concentration discussed. The final experimental chapter investigates the photochemical generation of H2O2 in both synthetic and natural water matrices. Ambient light incubations at sea and artificial light incubations in the laboratory were made.

description: We study the inviscid damping of Couette flow with an exponentially stratified density. The optimal decay rates of the velocity field and the density are obtained for general perturbations with minimal regularity. For Boussinesq approximation model, the decay rates we get are consistent with the previous results in the literature. We also study the decay rates for the full Euler equations of stratified fluids, which were not studied before. For both models, the decay rates depend on the Richardson number in a very similar way. Besides, we also study the dispersive decay due to the exponential stratification when there is no shear.

Nye sygehusstrukturer - nye trafikale udfordringer
Creators: name: Høj, Jakob

Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2014

description: Den kollektive trafik spiller en væsentlig og nødvendig rolle i trafikbetjeningen af vores sygehuse. Det gælder for både ansatte, patienter og besøgende. Ændringerne i sygehusstrukturen, hvor der sker en koncentration af behandlingstilbud på færre men større enheder, hvor mindre sygehuse lukkes eller fusioneres giver patienter og ansatte længere rejsetider og måske besværligere rejser. Det kan betyde både dyrere og ringere vilkår for patienterne, hvis de i mindre grad kan benytte den åbne kollektive trafik. Det er vigtigt at fastholde den kollektive trafiks markedsandele til sygehusene også for at begrænse stigningen i biltrafik og efterspørgsel på parkringspladser, som ellers nemt kan blive en konsekvens af ændringerne i sygehusstrukturen. For Region Hovedstaden har Tetraplan udviklet metoder og planlægningsmetodikker, som kan give et solidt grundlag for at målrette og prioritere tiltag, der kan forbedre og tilpasse den kollektive trafik til de udfordringer de nye sygehusstrukturer giver. De detaljerede analyser af rejsestrømme og tilgængelighed udpeger linjer og stoppesteder/ knudepunkter, som spiller en vigtig rolle for kunderne i rejsen til sygehuset. Herigennem er der udviklet et redskab og en metodik, som kan anvendes til at udpege, hvor forbedringer i betjening og standard kan komme flest rejsende til gode.

 Material examined. - None.
 Remarks. - This species is known to occur offshore in warm mesopelagic waters from surface to about 400 m of depth, with a restricted distribution in both the Western (Sargasso Sea) and Eastern Atlantic Ocean, including off Madeira and off the West African coast between 20°N and 25°N (Mead, 1972; Haedrich, 1986; Gomes, 1990; Carvalho-Filho et al., 2009; Froese and Pauly, 2013).
 The first, and so far unique record, of this species from the Canary Islands was done by Mead (1964), based on two individuals (15.5 and 19.1 mm SL) caught 3.5 to 5 miles off the Western coast of Tenerife in 1961 during the Discovery II cruise, with a mesopelagic trawl from 170 m to surface over depth of 1160-1700 m. After this date, this species was cited from the Northwestern coast of Africa between 21°N and 25°N and also from the Northern nearby waters of Madeira (Mead, 1972; Haedrich, 1986; Gomes, 1990), but it was not included in the ichthyological checklists for the Canaries made by Brito (1991), Brito et al. (2002) and Brito and Sancho (2003).

Critical slowing down in purely elastic `snap-through' instabilities

description: Many elastic structures have two possible equilibrium states: from umbrellas that become inverted in a sudden gust of wind, to nano-electromechanical switches, origami patterns and the hopper popper, which jumps after being turned inside-out. These systems typically transition from one state to the other via a rapid `snap-through'. Snap-through allows plants to gradually store elastic energy, before releasing it suddenly to generate rapid motions, as in the Venus flytrap. Similarly, the beak of the hummingbird snaps through to catch insects mid-flight, while technological applications are increasingly exploiting snap-through instabilities. In all of these scenarios, it is the ability to repeatedly generate fast motions that gives snap-through its utility. However, estimates of the speed of snap-through suggest that it should occur more quickly than is usually observed. Here, we study the dynamics of snap-through in detail, showing that, even without dissipation, the dynamics slow down close to the snap-through transition. This is reminiscent of the slowing down observed in critical phenomena, and provides a handheld demonstration of such phenomena, as well as a new tool for tuning dynamic responses in applications of elastic bistability.

description: I juni 2012 besluttede Borgerrepræsentationen i Københavns Kommune at igangsætte en undersøgelse af en letbane. Letbanen skulle forbinde den kommende letbane i Ring 3 med metrosystemet via Frederikssundsvej. Københavns Kommune har derfor i samarbejde med Metroselskabet, Movia, Cowi, Tetraplan og Viatrafik undersøgt, hvordan en letbane kan etableres på strækningen. Undersøgelserne leverer et bud på linjeføring af letbanen, hvordan der kan opnås plads til letbane, biler, cykler, fodgængere, p-pladser, byrum, og detailhandel, hvor mange passagerer letbanen får, hvordan trafikken kan afvikles, hvad letbanen vil koste at anlægge, hvad den vil koste at drive, hvordan byrummene kan tilpasses, hvordan p-pladserne og vejtræerne påvirkes, hvad miljøeffekten vil være mv. I præsentationen på Trafikdage vil resultaterne af undersøgelserne blive gennemgået. På baggrund heraf kan det bl.a. drøftes, hvilke udfordringer etablering af en letbane møder, når den skal indpasses i snævre vejforløb med mange bymæssige funktioner.

description: Projektets omdrejningspunkt er sikkerhed for cyklister ved krydsning af veje, hvor man ønsker at anlægge letbanetracé. Undersøgelsen tager afsæt i Ring 3 omkring København, hvor en letbane forventes åbnet i 2021. Vi har undersøgt hvilke tiltag, der kan være med til at forbedre sikkerheden for cyklister i signal- og vigepligtsregulerede kryds, når cyklisterne skal krydse både kørebane og letbanetracé. I 2013 udgav Metroselskabet I/S i samarbejde med Via Trafik Rådgivning A/S et katalog, som behandler sikkerheden for krydsende fodgængere udenfor krydsområder. I 2014 har vi arbejdet på et tilsvarende katalog for cyklister, men som også omfatter kryds. Fokus er især på de bløde trafikanter, for det er dem, der kommer alvorligst til skade i konflikter med den øvrige trafik. Når letbanen indføres i den levende by, giver det en række udfordringer i forhold til trafiksikker integration både i kryds og på strækninger. Risikoen for konflikter mellem forskellige trafikarter er høj, for typisk følger letbanen de større trafikkorridorer i byen, hvor der i forvejen er tæt og blandet trafik. Det er derfor en udfordring at få samspillet mellem især de bløde trafikanter og letbanen til at fungere optimalt. Vores undersøgelse er et bidrag til optimeret planlægning og projektering af gode og trafiksikre løsninger for letbaner i tæt by. Hensigten er, at fremkommeligheden for de enkelte trafikantgrupper afvejes med trafiksikkerhedsmæssige forsvarlige løsninger, som tilpasses stedet.

A comparison of the behaviours of captive bred and wild caught Burramys parvus (Marsupialia: Burramyidae)
Creators: name: Cash, Emma
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the Department of Environmental Management & Ecology, Agricultural Sciences and Zoology, Faculty of Science Technology and Engineering, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

Knowledge of the behaviour of endangered species is fundamental to the success of captive breeding and reintroduction programs. Despite this, basic biological knowledge and behavioural information is lacking for many endangered species at the inception of captive conservation programs. Burramys parvus is a critically endangered marsupial restricted to the alpine and subalpine regions of Victoria and New South Wales. This thesis describes the social behaviour and non-social behaviours, postures and activity patterns of B. parvus in captivity. Three focal groups of possums were investigated in this thesis; short[-]term captive (captive [less than] 3 days), extended term captive (captive [greater than] 6 months), and captive-bred. Social behaviour was described from the encounters of male/female pairs, female/female pairs, and a small group of females recorded and analysed over a three[-]day period. Behaviour exhibited by B. parvus was typical of other small marsupials, with terrestrial travel, climbing and feeding the most frequent behaviours. Analyses of continuous recordings of the time spent active and activities of three treatment groups of B. parvus time confirmed that B. parvus was predominantly nocturnal. In all groups, the length of nocturnal activity was greater than diurnal activity. However, the captive-bred group exhibited significantly more diurnal activity compared with the wild-bred con-specifics with activity recorded every hour of the diurnal period. The time spent on six focal activities (terrestrial travel, climbing, feeding, drinking, grooming and sitting) was also compared between the treatment groups. Terrestrial travel was the most prevalent in all three groups, with climbing and feeding also frequently observed. At the conclusion of this study, the current findings are compared those from previous field[-] and laboratory[-]based studies of B. parvus and other small marsupials. This study increases our knowledge of the behaviours and activity patterns of B. parvus and will assist with the maintenance of natural behaviours in captive breeding programs.

description: We propose a non-minimally coupled gravity model in $ Y(R)F^2 $ form to describe the radiation fluid stars which have the radiative equation of state between the energy density $ ρ$ and the pressure $p$ as $ρ=3p $. Here $F^2$ is the Maxwell invariant and $Y(R)$ is a function of the Ricci scalar $R$. We give the gravitational and electromagnetic field equations in differential form notation taking the infinitesimal variations of the model. We look for electrically charged star solutions to the field equations under a constraint which eliminating complexity of the higher order terms in the field equations. We determine the non-minimally coupled function $Y(R)$ and the corresponding model which admits new exact solutions in the interior of star and Reissner-Nordstrom solution at the exterior region. Using vanishing pressure condition at the boundary together with the continuity conditions of the metric functions and the electric charge, we find the mass-radius ratio, charge-radius ratio and gravitational surface redshift depending on the parameter of the model for the radiation fluid star. We derive general restrictions for the ratios and redshift of the charged compact stars. We obtain a slightly smaller upper mass-radius ratio limit than the Buchdahl bound $ 4/9 $ and a smaller upper redshift limit than the bound of the standard General Relativistic stars.

description: This survey had its beginning early in 1962 with an elderly man at Echuca (Vic.) who still remembered soneof his language, Wembawemba. Encouraged by Dr A. Capell and by Professor J. Smit recording began of this and other Victorian languages. Work was intensified in mid-1963 with help from the Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies in Canberra. It has been ap~arent from the beginning that this survey was doomed to be inadequate as the languages of some entire groups of tribes disappeared completely many years ago (e.g. the languages of the Goulburn tribes), while others are virtually extinct (e.g. of Woiwuru of the Melbourne area only one or two people remember a few words from their early youth). Nevertheless as much material as possible was collected, informants being pursued far afield. 1 It would probably be true to say that there are no elderly or even middle-aged persons of Aboriginal descent in Victoria and the south of· New South Wales who have not at some stage been questioned by us about the language. However fragmentary the resulting material may appear, it represents all that was left in 1962- 1965, and several important informants have since died. It is hoped that this work will in some measure supplement the scanty information that can be gained from the works of earlier writers.

Der er taget udgangspunkt i de nyeste udenlandske erfaringer med letbanesystemer med input fra udenlandske samarbejdspartnere. Det hidtidige danske arbejde med letbanesystemer i rapporter og analyser er blevet inddraget med kobling til Trafikstyrelsens igangværende arbejder med infrastrukturen for letbaner, i det omfang dette har haft relation til udformning og regulering af vejanlæg. Håndbogen for udformning og regulering af letbaner i vejkryds beskriver formål, baggrund og forudsæt- ninger for arbejdet med letbaner i vejanlæg, herunder sammenhænge til de øvrige myndighedsparter og til det øvrige vejregelarbejde. Beskrivelsen omfatter retningslinjer og standardløsninger med illustrationer og eksempler på følgende krydstyper: • Vigepligtsregulerede kryds og overkørsler • Signalregulerede kryds • Rundkørsler • Sti- og fodgængerkrydsninger. En vigtig del af analysearbejdet har været at studere artikler/rapporter, regelsæt og retningslinjer for letbanesystemer i udenlandske byer med letbanesystemer. Undervejs i arbejdsforløbet har der ligeledes været arrangeret en letbanestudietur til Frankrig for vejregelgruppen for at inspicere moderne letbanesystemer.

description: Stochastic fluctuations of molecule numbers are ubiquitous in biological systems. Important examples include gene expression and enzymatic processes in living cells. Such systems are typically modelled as chemical reaction networks whose dynamics are governed by the Chemical Master Equation. Despite its simple structure, no analytic solutions to the Chemical Master Equation are known for most systems. Moreover, stochastic simulations are computationally expensive, making systematic analysis and statistical inference a challenging task. Consequently, significant effort has been spent in recent decades on the development of efficient approximation and inference methods. This article gives an introduction to basic modelling concepts as well as an overview of state of the art methods. First, we motivate and introduce deterministic and stochastic methods for modelling chemical networks, and give an overview of simulation and exact solution methods. Next, we discuss several approximation methods, including the chemical Langevin equation, the system size expansion, moment closure approximations, time-scale separation approximations and hybrid methods. We discuss their various properties and review recent advances and remaining challenges for these methods. We present a comparison of several of these methods by means of a numerical case study and highlight some of their respective advantages and disadvantages. Finally, we discuss the problem of inference from experimental data in the Bayesian framework and review recent methods developed the literature. In summary, this review gives a self-contained introduction to modelling, approximations and inference methods for stochastic chemical kinetics.

description: At planlægge en letbane er hverken som at planlægge bussystemer eller S-toge. Det er omkostningstungt og samtidigt et stort indgreb i en bys struktur, sammenhænge og identitet. Det handler naturligvis om trafik, ledninger, kapacitet og flow, men også om byplanlægning, landskabsarkitektur og kulturarv. Med udgangspunkt i de erfaringer NIRAS har fået i forbindelse med arbejdet for Odense Letbane, redegør artiklen for de metoder og analyser, der er anvendt for at sikre den bedst mulige integration af letbanen til den eksisterende bys struktur. Det beskrives hvordan processen har været og hvilke metoder, der har været anvendt.

Possible Nematic Spin Liquid in Spin-$1$ Antiferromagnetic System on the Square Lattice: Implication for the Nematic Paramagnetic State of FeSe

description: The exotic normal state of iron chalcogenide superconductor FeSe, which exhibits vanishing magnetic order and possesses an electronic nematic order, triggered extensive explorations of its magnetic ground state. To understand its novel properties, we study the ground state of a highly frustrated spin-$1$ system with bilinear-biquadratic interactions using unbiased large-scale density matrix renormalization group. Remarkably, with increasing biquadratic interactions, we find a paramagnetic phase between Néel and stripe magnetic ordered phases. We identify this phase as a candidate of nematic quantum spin liquid by the compelling evidences, including vanished spin and quadrupolar orders, absence of lattice translational symmetry breaking, and a persistent non-zero lattice nematic order in the thermodynamic limit. The established quantum phase diagram natually explains the observations of enhanced spin fluctuations of FeSe in neutron scattering measurement and the phase transition with increasing pressure. This identified paramagnetic phase provides a new possibility to understand the novel properties of FeSe.

description: Die modernen digitalen Möglichkeiten zur Visualisierung und Berechnung im Bereich der Analysis erfordern neue Antworten auf alte epistemologische Probleme. So kann zum Beispiel die starke Identifikation von Funktionen mit ihren Graphen eine abstraktere Begriffsbildung für eine weitergehende mathematische Entwicklung behindern. Es wird aufgezeigt, wie bei der Konzeptualisierung von Begriffen durch die Verwendung neuer Medien (hier GeoGebra) Abstraktionsprozesse initiiert werden können.
Længere godstog

description: Tyskland, Frankrig - og Danmark går forrest. Sverige rører også på sig. Markedet kræver det. Længere godstog øger alt i alt kapaciteten i banenettet og kan være et skridt på vej mod det politiske mål om dobbelt op på kørte godstonkilometer på banen i 2030. Der er i disse år en række initiativer og forsøg i gang i Europa på baggrund af kapacitetsmangler i det europæiske banenet og pres fra jernbaneselskaberne, som ser en mulighed for rationalisering og billiggørelse i at få øget de mulige toglængder. Aktiviteterne foregår ukoordineret og uden konkrete mål. Det kan næppe være anderledes. Der er trods alt for lidt viden og politisk commitment på området endnu, til at der kan udarbejdes en koordineret og langsigtet plan, uden at denne vil komme til at indeholde fejlinvesteringer. På længere sigt er der brug for tværgående og langsigtede mål, så jernbaneselskaber og de, der efterspørger transporter, kan disponere hensigtsmæssigt. Banedanmarks Godstransporthandlingsplan peger på midlet – længere godstog - som det mest nærliggende blandt de ”lavthængende frugter” efterfulgt af tungere tog, tog med større profil og helt nye baner. I praksis afhænger muligheden for at udnytte en større kapacitet af den konkrete køreplan. I en fastlåst og tæt køreplan kan køreplanskanalerne være for stramme til længere godstog.

description: As the role of data has gained prominence in the global digital economy and becomes crucial for the development of cutting-edge technologies, regulatory battles among great powers to set the rules for international personal data transfers increasingly intensify. In the unfolding digital era, the regulatory battles over international personal data transfers have increasingly come to the foreground of great powers rivalry, substantially shaping the emerging transnational digital governance system. Drawing on international relation scholarship on regime complex analysis, this article explores the development of the US, the EU, and China's regulatory approach to govern cross-border flows of personal data.
THE SYSTEMIC REDESIGN OF MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS IN SMALL TO MEDIUM SIZED ENTERPRISES
Creators: name: BRADFORD, JOHN WILLIAM GEORGE
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2000

description: The research problem was to develop a new approach for redesigning manufacturing systems within Small to Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs). Field observation together with literature review showed that methodologies propounded in theory were not being applied in practice. The research presents a new methodology for the systemic redesign of manufacturing systems within SMEs. The methodology consists of a four phase iterative design strategy consisting of Planning, Risk Assessment, Action and Evaluation leading to the next Planning phase. This is given a systemic basis through four perspectives: Structure; People; Process; and Technology; which frame and guide the Planning phase. Prior to this work there was no systemic approach for redesigning manufacturing systems within SMEs. These findings have been validated through the case study method and against criteria that have been identified and developed by the author. The research adopts three complementary research approaches of participant observation, action research and case study research. These are consistent with the research philosophy developed within the research frame. Participant observation is used at the outset to establish the problem domain and application considerations. Action research is used to develop a methodology that functions independent of the researcher. The final validation is carried out using case study research to evaluate the application of the methodology.

description: Vejdirektoratet har efter færdiggørelsen af en række anlægsprojekter på Statsvejnettet med det formål at forbedre fremkommeligheden på lokaliteter og i kryds udviklet et evalueringskoncept. Konceptet skal medvirke til på systematisk vis at undersøge, om antagelserne om det enkelte anlægs forventede effekter i form af mindre forsinkelse og kødannelse samt øget trafiksikkerhed og deraf følgende samfundsøkonomiske gevinster svarer til de reelle effekter, når anlægget er realiseret. Videre har det været et ønske at undersøge, om anlæggenes budgetøkonomiske forudsætninger er overholdt, og om anlæggene har haft konsekvenser for andre trafikanter. Endelig har det været et formål at sikre vej- og trafikfaglig læring i Vejdirektoratet på baggrund af et praktisk anvendeligt evalueringskoncept.
