description: We study methods for calculating the thermal diffusivity of solids from laser flash experiments. This experiment involves subjecting the front surface of a small sample of the material to a heat pulse and recording the resulting temperature rise on the opposite (rear) surface. Recently, a method was developed for calculating the thermal diffusivity from the rear-surface temperature rise, which was shown to produce improved estimates compared with the commonly used half-time approach. This so-called rear-surface integral method produced a formula for calculating the thermal diffusivity of homogeneous samples under the assumption that the heat pulse is instantaneously absorbed uniformly into a thin layer at the front surface. In this paper, we show how the rear-surface integral method can be applied to a more physically realistic heat flow model involving the actual heat pulse shape from the laser flash experiment. New thermal diffusivity formulas are derived for handling arbitrary pulse shapes for either a homogeneous sample or a heterogeneous sample comprising two layers of different materials. Presented numerical experiments confirm the accuracy of the new formulas and demonstrate how they can be applied to the kinds of experimental data arising from the laser flash experiment.

description: This thesis has been prompted by puzzlement over an ambiguity that lies within the self-conceived role of Subcomandate Marcos, the enigmatic figure at the heart of the Zapatista Movement in Mexico. The central problem is that the charismatic authority that Marcos has established in Chiapas is discordant with his own critique of formalised political systems (including those of the traditional left), as well as with the progressive ideas on which Zapatismo is founded: an empowered civil society, an anti-authoritarian concept of power and a rejection of predetermined political doctrines. The thesis will argue that this ambiguity reflects an inherent tension, largely neglected in the literature, between the transformational and personalistic dimensions of charismatic authority. Its central argument is that the strategies of Subcomandate Marcos reflect his consciousness of the contradictory dynamics of charismatic authority when employed in service of an egalitarian socio-political cause. Marcos knows that his own charismatic authority is useful for building moral capital and for achieving a number of short-term goals, such as the mobilisation of the Indigenous people of Chiapas and global recognition of their plight. Moreover, by his innovative use of modern communications technology he has been able to project his charisma globally, achieving cult status on the international stage and gaining certain broad political advantage thereby.

description: The front-illuminated (FI) CCDs in the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) on the Chandra X-ray Observatory (Chandra) were damaged in the extreme environment of the Earth's radiation belts, causing charge traps that result in enhanced charge transfer inefficiency (CTI) during parallel readout. This causes row-dependent gain, event grade `morphing' (spatial redistribution of charge) and energy resolution degradation. The ACIS back-illuminated (BI) CCDs also exhibit pronounced CTI due to their manufacturing. It is mild enough that position-dependent energy resolution is not seen, but it is present in both parallel and serial registers. This CTI also changes the gain and event grades, in a spatially complicated way as parallel and serial CTI interact. Given these realities, we have developed and tuned a phenomenological model of CTI for both FI and BI CCDs and incorporated it into our Monte Carlo simulations of the ACIS CCDs. It models charge loss and the spatial redistribution of charge (trailing), thus reproducing the spatially-dependent gain and grade distribution seen in all ACIS CCDs and the row-dependent energy resolution seen in the FI devices. Here we explore the evidence for CTI, compare our simulations to data, and present a technique for CTI correction based on forward modeling.

description: Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is a Gram-negative bacterium causing the highly infectious disease porcine pleuropneumonia and is responsible for global financial losses to the swine industry every year. Though the virulence of A. pleuropneumoniae is complex and multifactorial, Apx toxins (ApxI-III) are the major contributing factors that causes lung lesions in pigs. Although vaccines are available to prevent A. pleuropneumoniae infections, they do not give complete protection and typically give protection against the serovars used to prepare the vaccine. Thus, a thorough understanding of gene expression and virulence factors is required to develop broadly protective pleuropneumonia vaccines. This thesis first investigated a novel pathway to prevent and treat pleuropneumonia infection by blocking the interaction between Apx toxins and the host cells. To determine the specific ligands bound by each Apx toxin, glycan array analysis using purified Apx toxins (ApxI-III, both the active and inactive forms e.g. ApxCA and ApxA) was carried out. Expressing both with and without ApxC allowed an assessment of whether this activation is required for interaction with the host glycan receptor. Significant work was needed to optimise overexpression and purification of Apx toxins. Glycan array analysis demonstrated that both ApxI and ApxII toxins bound to very similar glycan structures, such as gangliosides and Lewis antigens. Binding of Apx toxins occurred irrespective of activation by the cognate acyltransferase, ApxC. [...]
Identification of Time-varying in situ Signals in Quantum Circuits

description: The identification of time-varying \textit{in situ} signals is crucial for characterizing the dynamics of quantum processes occurring in highly isolated environments. Under certain circumstances, they can be identified from time-resolved measurements via Ramsey interferometry experiments, but only with very special probe systems can the signals be explicitly read out, and a theoretical analysis is lacking on whether the measurement data are sufficient for unambiguous identification. In this paper, we formulate this problem as the invertibility of the underlying quantum input-output system, and derive the algebraic identifiability criterion and the algorithm for numerically identifying the signals. The criterion and algorithm can be applied to both closed and open quantum systems, and their effectiveness is demonstrated by numerical examples.

Here we demonstrate highly efficient unidirectional photonic edge mode propagation facilitated by an optical analogue of the quantum valley Hall effect. With an all-dielectric kagome lattice design, we demonstrate broadband suppressed reflection in the presence of sharp corners and further show negligible vertical losses in a semiconductor-based device at telecommunication wavelengths.

Subjects: subject: Environmental law
subject: United Nations Declaration on Environment and Development

description: Since the 1972 Declaration at United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, and subsequently the 1992 United Nations Declaration on Environment and Development, environmental principles have been frequently used at the international level in different institutional forums made up of a variety of actors including States and transnational corporations. There are a range of environmental principles which are either abstracted from broader episteme or established as open-textured norms within international environmental law and politics. Given how often they are used at the international level in negotiations, agreements, codes of conduct, or litigation within international courts and tribunals, this work studies whether as abstract and open-textured norms they have a role and function in changing international law and politics. It draws on the concept of social learning, in contrast to socialisation, as the dynamic for changing international law and politics. Environmental principles have to interplay with or constitute processes that can socially persuade or influence actors to establish interlocking beliefs, or to collectively identify with a particular culture. As such, what matters is how groups of actors create meaning from norms in their direct and diffuse interactions with each other, rather than whether individual actors comply with their obligations in accordance with environmental principles. Using three different case studies this work argues that environmental principles are significant for changing international law and politics. Their role and function in this process is relative to the weight and meaning that groups of actors give to them. As abstract and open-textured norms, environmental principles function as frames or structures for ideas and discourses which groups use to create meaning from. Their specific role and function during the interactions of actors’ is variable and depends on how they interplay with or constitute the processes that steer social learning. In this way, they can for example privilege certain discourses or provide groups with the creative impetus for the approaches that they might take to issues. Alternatively, they can establish the terms for how actors’ will socially associate a particular kind of membership within groups. Their versatility and flexibility in ideologically steering the common and collective responses of actors’ to protecting the environment from harm is essential to their significance in changing international law and politics.

description: We have studied ways in which helical primordial magnetic fields could be constrained by measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR). If there were helical flows in the primordial plasma at the time of recombination, they would produce parity violating temperature-polarization correlations ($C_l^{TB}$ and $C_l^{EB}$). However, the magnitude of helical flows induced by helical magnetic fields is unobservably small. We discuss an alternate scheme for extracting the helicity of a stochastically homogeneous and isotropic primordial magnetic field using Faraday rotation measure maps of the CMBR and the power spectrum of B-type polarization ($C_l^{BB}$).

description: We discuss a novel mechanism to generate gravitational waves in the early universe. A standard way to produce primordial black holes is to enhance at small-scales the overdensity perturbations generated during inflation. The latter, upon horizon re-entry, collapse into black holes. They must be sizeable enough and are therefore associated to rare peaks. There are however less sizeable and much less rare overdensity peaks which do not end up forming primordial black holes and have a non-spherical shape. Upon collapse, they possess a time-dependent non-vanishing mass quadrupole which gives rise to the generation of gravitational waves. By their nature, such gravitational waves are complementary to those sourced at second-order by the very same scalar perturbations responsible for the formation of the primordial black holes. Their amplitude is nevertheless typically about two orders of magnitude smaller and therefore hardly measurable.

description: We study the competition between stripe states with different periods and a uniform $d$-wave superconducting state in the extended 2D Hubbard model at 1/8 hole doping using infinite projected entangled-pair states (iPEPS). With increasing strength of negative next-nearest neighbor hopping $t'$, the preferred period of the stripe decreases. For the values of $t'$ predicted for cuprate high-T$_c$ superconductors, we find stripes with a period 4 in the charge order, in agreement with experiments. Superconductivity in the period 4 stripe is suppressed at $1/8$ doping. Only at larger doping, $0.18 \lesssim δ< 0.25$, the period 4 stripe exhibits coexisting $d$-wave superconducting order. The uniform $d$-wave state is only favored for sufficiently large positive $t'$.

The flux-dependent amplitude of broadband noise variability in X-ray binaries and active galaxies

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Standard shot-noise models, which seek to explain the broadband noise variability that characterises the X-ray lightcurves of X-ray binaries and active galaxies, predict that the power spectrum of the X-ray lightcurve is stationary (i.e. constant amplitude and shape) on short time-scales. We show that the broadband noise power spectra of the black hole candidate Cyg X-1 and the accreting millisecond pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658 are intrinsically non-stationary, in that RMS variability scales linearly with flux. Flux-selected power spectra confirm that this effect is due to changes in power-spectral amplitude and not shape. The lightcurves of three Seyfert galaxies are also consistent with a linear relationship between RMS variability and flux, suggesting that it is an intrinsic feature of the broadband noise variability in compact accreting systems over more than 6 decades of central object mass. The RMS variability responds to flux variations on all measured time-scales, raising fundamental difficulties for shot-noise models which seek to explain this result by invoking variations in the shot parameters. We suggest that models should be explored where the longest time-scale variations are fundamental and precede the variations on shorter time-scales. Possible models which can explain the linear RMS-flux relation include the fractal break-up of large coronal flares, or the propagation of fluctuations in mass accretion rate through the accretion disk. The linear relationship between RMS variability and flux in Cyg X-1 and SAX J1808.4-3658 is offset on the flux axis, suggesting the presence of a second, constant-flux component to the lightcurve which contributes 25% of the total flux. The spectrum of this constant component is similar to the total spectrum [abridged].

title: Competition Between Charitable Organisation for Private Donations
Creators: name: Omura, Teruyo
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Government grants to charities
subject: Philanthropic activities
subject: Private donations

description: A central problem for charitable organisations is that they do not derive revenues from their core philanthropic activities. Consequently they cannot survive unless they can derive revenues from other sources. The three major sources of these revenues are: (a) Government grants; (b) commercial activities that cross-subsidise the philanthropic activities; and (c) private donations. In each of these fund-raising activities they compete with other organisations, but none more so than in seeking private donations. Consequently, this thesis is concerned with the competition for private donations among charities with similar aims. Fundraising efforts through government grant competition and commercial activities are not considered. The charities considered are located in Australia and Japan, a comparative analysis being an initial major purpose of the research. This was based upon the argument that the behaviour of charitable organisations will be influenced by local culture far more than profit making corporations facing global markets. There was, therefore, an interest in examining how different the forms of competitions might be in the countries. Charitable organisations compete for private donations in two ways. The first is by an efficient and effective service to the charitable organisations‘ recipients. Unfortunately for fundraising, such service is not usually directly observable by potential donors. The second form of competition is the public provision of information, services and marketing and promotion to potential donors, specifically with the aim of eliciting donations. Competition in this form, of course, requires fundraising expenditures on the part of charitable organisations.
Adaptive Ray Tracing for Radiative Transfer around Point Sources

description: We describe a novel adaptive ray tracing scheme to solve the equation of radiative transfer around point sources in hydrodynamical simulations. The angular resolution adapts to the local hydrodynamical resolution and hence is of use for adaptive meshes as well as adaptive smooth particle hydrodynamical simulations. Recursive creation of rays ensures ease of implementation. The multiple radial integrations needed to solve the time dependent radiative transfer are sped up significantly using a quad-tree once the rays are cast. Simplifications advantageous for methods with one radiation source are briefly discussed. The suggested method is easily generalized to speed up Monte Carlo radiative transfer techniques. In summary a nearly optimal use of long characteristics is presented and aspects of its implementation and comparison to other methods are given.

description: Advances in extragalactic astronomy have prompted the development of increasingly realistic models which aim to describe the formation and evolution of galaxies. We review the philosophy behind one such technique, called semi-analytic modelling, and explain the relation between this approach and direct simulations of gas dynamics. Finally, we present model predictions for the evolution of the stellar mass of galaxies in a universe in which structure formation is hierarchical.

description: Using the Lieb-Robinson inequality and the continuity property of the quantum capacities in terms of the diamond norm, we derive an upper bound on the values that these capacities can attain in spin-network communication i.i.d. models of arbitrary topology. Differently from previous results we make no assumptions on the encoding mechanisms that the sender of the messages adopts in loading information on the network.

Molecular Gas and Dust at z = 2.6 in SMM J14011+0252: A Strongly Lensed, Ultraluminous Galaxy, Not a Huge, Massive Disk

description: We used the IRAM Interferometer to detect CO(3-2), CO(7-6), and 1.3 mm dust continuum emission from the submillimeter galaxy SMM J14011+0252 at a redshift of 2.6. Contrary to a recent claim that the CO was extended over 6.6 arcsec (57 kpc), the new data yield a size of 2 x 0.5 arcsec for the CO and the dust. Although previous results placed the CO peak in a region with no visible counterpart, the new maps show the CO and dust are centered on the J1 complex seen on K-band and optical images. We suggest the CO is gravitationally lensed not only by the foreground cluster A1835, but also by an individual galaxy on the line of sight. Comparison of measured and intrinsic CO brightness temperatures indicates the CO size is magnified by a factor of 25 +/- 5. After correcting for lensing, we derive a true CO diameter of ~0.08 arcsec (700 pc), consistent with a compact circumnuclear disk of warm molecular gas similar to that in Arp 220. The high magnification means the true size, far-IR luminosity, star formation rate, CO luminosity, and molecular gas mass are all comparable with those in present-epoch ultraluminous IR galaxies, not with those of a huge, massive, early-universe galactic disk.

On Marginal Operators in Boundary Conformal Field Theory
Creators: name: Herzog, Christopher P.

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The presence of a boundary (or defect) in a conformal field theory allows one to generalize the notion of an exactly marginal deformation. Without a boundary, one must find an operator of protected scaling dimension $Δ$ equal to the space-time dimension $d$ of the conformal field theory, while with a boundary, as long as the operator dimension is protected, one can make up for the difference $d-Δ$ by including a factor $z^{Δ-d}$ in the deformation where $z$ is the distance from the boundary. This coordinate dependence does not lead to a reduction in the underlying $SO(d,1)$ global conformal symmetry group of the boundary conformal field theory. We show that such terms can arise from boundary flows in interacting field theories. Ultimately, we would like to be able to characterize what types of boundary conformal field theories live on the orbits of such deformations. As a first step, we consider a free scalar with a conformally invariant mass term $z^{-2} ϕ^2$, and a fermion with a similar mass. We find a connection to double trace deformations in the AdS/CFT literature.

title: Prompting beginning teachers to purposefully consider and implement differentiation: Connecting frameworks to targeted actions

description: Beginning teachers often experience a range of challenges in their early years of teaching. From the complexities associated with planning sizeable learning sequences to the micro-skills required for classroom management, many beginning teachers can feel overwhelmed and become disenchanted with the work they do. Managing learning activities and differentiating for the diverse needs of every student in the classroom is a significant source of anxiety for many beginning teachers. Differentiation is, within itself, a complicated and involved process concerned not only with knowing students, but also with how to identify their needs and construct appropriate learning sequences for them. The consequence of self-doubt, confusion, and fear is that neither teacher nor students may get to experience the benefits of a well-differentiated classroom. This study employs a design-based research approach to explore how a personality-focused lens might be leveraged for the purposes of assisting two beginning teachers in junior-secondary classes to differentiate instruction. Through a series of iterative cycles, I worked with the beginning teachers as a co-participant, researcher, and mentor to support the designing of differentiated learning sequences. The cooperative and dialogic approach prompted a shift in the beginning teachers’ understandings of their self-efficacy and agency concerning differentiation. Data were collected through various sources including a baseline individual semi-structured interview, journaling, the collection of research artefacts, and a series of four dyadic semi-structured interviews. The data were thematically analysed and sorted into overarching themes that enabled or constrained the beginning teachers’ shifting experiences. The findings suggest that providing a space for the beginning teachers to critically reflect on, and extend, their pedagogical practices and understandings of differentiation supported the enactment of new methods for instruction.

description: A strong historical relationship exists between sport and the media. Mediated sport began in the printed press in the United Kingdom and United States of America with horse racing and boxing previews and recaps. This symbiotic connection evolved to the current interactive and on-demand technologies. A key business focus of the media is the creation of interest in sport; thus, fostering audience interest to sustain viewership for the duration of mega-events, league seasons, finals series, or sport matches. As such, the study of announcer discourse is important as these individuals shape the consumption of commercial MediaSport (Wenner, 1998), which seeks to increase ratings of sport programmes toward generating both audiences and additional revenues from sponsors and advertisers. This study analysed how a commercial sport media outlet, the American Broadcasting Company, framed the live coverage of the National Basketball Association (NBA) finals series in 2007 and 2008 to uncover how announcers embedded vertical (each game) and horizontal (series of games) scripts to foster sustained NBA viewership. Goffman’s (1986) primary frameworks were applied through a textual analysis of commentator discourses revealing the encoded messages or scripts. Further, an additional primary framework was found through the grounded theory approach of grouping themes into categories; this new framework was labelled hybrid. These studies were guided by a new conceptual model developed for the analysis of MediaSport event texts. This model allowed both more scrutiny and further uncovering of how announcer discourses were utilised to mediate television viewers. Through commentator discourse, viewers were provided with communication that guided the viewing of NBA telecasts. Moreover, announcer comments included many different types of sponsored vignettes. These vignettes served to increase the value of advertising and sponsorship, as these marketing messages occurred during the event, rather than during advertising breaks, leading to greater audience viewership of the vignettes.
title: Using Pre-Recorded Investigative Interviews to Improve the Quality of Complainant Evidence in Rape Cases

description: There is a sound empirical basis to suggest that the pre-recorded interview of an adult rape complainant made during the investigation should provide the court with more accurate, detailed and complete testimony than live evidence later given at trial. The timeliness of the interview, and the different questioning and interviewing strategies used by police when compared to prosecutors, are all likely to improve the quality of the complainant’s recall (e.g. Memon et al., 2010; Powell et al., 2005; Read & Connelly, 2007). Despite these potential improvements, pre-recorded evidence is seldom used with adults (Kingi & Jordan, 2009; Stern, 2010). In part this may be due to the limited systematic research that examines whether the potential benefits are seen in practice. The purpose of the present thesis was therefore to explore how using pre-recorded evidence may improve the quality of information complainants provide and thereby outcomes in rape cases. In the first two of three studies a mixed-methods approach was used to explore the perceptions of police (N=136) and then prosecutors (N=30) regarding the use of video interviews for investigations and evidence. A questionnaire firstly used a between subjects design to determine whether question type and interview format in a mock rape complainant transcript influences judgments about accuracy and decisions to charge. Next, perceptions about the advantages and disadvantages of using the video recorded interview were explored. Finally, a list of characteristics was rated according to what denoted an effective investigative interview. This was compared with how they rated the same characteristics for what provides the best evidence. The findings suggest that for both police and prosecutors accuracy, detail and completeness are three of the most desirable traits for investigations and for evidence.
