description: In this thesis, we highlight proficient control over lithium niobate acoustofluidic actuation of two microscale sessile drop destabilizing phenomena of planar splitting and atomization, by elucidating the governing fluidic physics with a dependency on the applied excitation energy. In particular, this work introduced a new mode of actuation as planar drop splitting, characterized both symmetrically and asymmetrically by respective energy schema. For atomization, a more efficient handheld lithium niobate microactuator was pioneered and accompanied by a review of capillary wave atomization, which identified a longstanding 150 year old misconception in the underlying physics responsible for the droplet breakup. Having identified a means of quantifying the critical frequency responsible for capillary wave destabilization in atomization, new expressions for the droplet volume and flow rate were derived based on a more realistic model of the effect of the ultrasound bulk jet turbulence to capillary wave turbulence. Lastly, separation of suspended microparticles was induced by acoustically-driven drop breakup.

description: We consider the problem of localization and distance estimation between a pair of wireless nodes in a multipath propagation environment, but not the usual way of processing a channel measurement between them. We propose a novel paradigm which compares the two nodes' ultra-wideband (UWB) channels to other nodes, called observers. The main idea is that the dissimilarity between the channel impulse responses (CIRs) increases with $d$ and allows for an estimate $\hat{d}$. Our approach relies on extracting common multipath components (MPCs) from the CIRs. This is realistic in indoor or urban scenarios and if $d$ is considerably smaller than the observer distances. We present distance estimators which utilize the rich location information contained in MPC delay differences. Likewise, we present estimators for the relative position vector which process both MPC delays and MPC directions. We do so for various important cases: with and without time synchronization, delay measurement errors, and knowledge of the MPC association between the CIRs. The estimators exhibit great technological advantages: they do not require line-of-sight conditions, observer location knowledge, or environment knowledge. We study the estimation accuracy with a numerical evaluation based on random sampling and, additionally, with an experimental evaluation based on measurements in an indoor environment. The proposal shows the potential for great accuracy in theory and practice. We describe how the paradigm could incorporate novel measurements into cooperative localization frameworks for spatio-temporal tracking. This could enable affordable wireless network localization in dynamic multipath settings.

description: This research focuses on the design and development of a crowdsourced sensor-cloud framework with special emphasis on spatio-temporal service selection and composition.

We propose a new, two-level composition model for crowdsourced sensor-cloud services based on dynamic features including spatio-temporal aspects. The proposed approach is based on a formal sensor-cloud service model that abstracts the functional and non-functional aspects of sensor data in the cloud in terms of spatio-temporal features. A spatio-temporal indexing technique is proposed that is based on the 3D R-tree, enabling fast identification of appropriate sensor-cloud services. Our novel quality model considers dynamic features of sensors to select and compose sensor-cloud services. This model introduces a new QoS as a service which is formulated as a composition of crowdsourced sensor-cloud services. We present new QoS-aware spatio-temporal composition algorithms to select the optimal composition plan. We present a novel, heuristic failure-proof service composition algorithm for real-time reaction to sensor-cloud services which become unavailable because they are no longer spatially or temporally available. We also provide a greedy redistribution algorithm that offers incentives to crowdsourced service providers to achieve optimal balanced crowdsourced coverage within an area. Experimental results validate the performance and effectiveness of these composition approaches. The results show that our algorithms have a satisfying scalability as the number of services becomes larger.

Complexity as information in spin-glass Gibbs states and metastates: upper bounds at nonzero temperature and long-range models

description: In classical finite-range spin systems, especially those with disorder such as spin glasses, a low-temperature Gibbs state may be a mixture of a number of pure or ordered states; the complexity of the Gibbs state has been defined in the past roughly as the logarithm of this number, assuming the question is meaningful in a finite system. As non-trivial mixtures of pure states do not occur in finite size, in a recent paper [Phys. Rev. E 101, 042114 (2020)] Höller and the author introduced a definition of the complexity of an infinite-size Gibbs state as the mutual information between the pure state and the spin configuration in a finite region, and applied this also within a metastate construction. (A metastate is a probability distribution on Gibbs states.) They found an upper bound on the complexity for models of Ising spins in which each spin interacts with only a finite number of others, in terms of the surface area of the region, for all $T\geq 0$. In the present paper, the complexity of a metastate is defined likewise in terms of the mutual information between the Gibbs state and the spin configuration. Upper bounds are found for each of these complexities for general finite-range (i.e. short- or long-range, in a sense we define) mixed $p$-spin interactions of discrete or continuous spins (such as $m$-vector models), but only for $T>0$. For short-range models, the bound reduces to the surface area. For long-range interactions, the definition of a Gibbs state has to be modified, and for these models we also prove that the states obtained within the metastate constructions are Gibbs states under the modified definition. All results are valid for a large class of disorder distributions.

description: Protein toxins can be used in a controlled manner to treat a variety of diseases. The toxins from bacteria such as Clostridium difficile and Clostridium botulinum have been used to treat diseases ranging from cancers to cross-eyes. New therapeutic toxins and new therapeutic uses for current toxins are being discovered at a steady pace. However, the applications of some toxins have yet to be realised, even if the potential therapeutic value has been identified.

One such toxin is tetanus toxin, produced by toxigenic strains of the bacterium, Clostridium tetani. Although potential therapeutic uses of the protein have long been identified, particularly for the treatment of conditions resulting from muscle hypotonia, there is a major barrier to the use of the toxin in humans - widespread vaccination against tetanus. According to 2016 data from the World Health Organisation, 86 % of the global population is vaccinated against tetanus toxin. Studies of the protective immune response against tetanus have demonstrated that the protection is primarily antibody - mediated. Therefore, for the toxin to be used as a therapeutic, it must be modified or administered in such a way that it is not inhibited by the pre-existing immunity of the individual.

Previous studies have investigated the use of tetanus toxin as a therapeutic in pre-vaccinated animal models. These studies focused on the administration of high-dosage tetanus toxin injections, and although a localised response was often observed, the results were inconsistent and the effect was often ephemeral. There is also the danger of inducing systemic paralysis - a life-threatening condition. The potential for tetanus toxin therapeutics is so great, particularly in the treatment of common conditions with no known pharmacotherapy, such as obstructive sleep apnoeas (OSA), that further investigation is warrented regardless of the difficulties involved.

This study investigated potential modifications of tetanus toxin to reduce the antigenic profile of the protein so that it may be used as a human therapeutic. Recombinantly-produced tetanus toxin, and subunits thereof, were purified from E. coli cultures and investigated for correct folding and activity. Modification of the toxin was achieved by the attachment of poly(ethylene-glycol) to the surface of the protein, and a reduction of the antibody affinity for the protein was demonstrated in vitro. The modified toxins developed in the study may form the basis of a protein therapeutic for the treatment of muscle hyptonias, including OSA.

description: Poster for FORCE 2018 meeting in Montreal.

One of the most meaningful ways by which scientists can engage with other scientists and with the broader community is by sharing one of their most treasured possessions: data.  Indeed, publishers and funders increasingly acknowledge the importance of data as a scientific output. As such, many journals and funders now require that scientists make their data openly accessible, both to promote transparency and to accelerate the pace of scientific discovery. To date, journal policies that mandate data sharing have successfully increased the accessibility to datasets underlying scientific publications. However, is the quality of these data sufficient to allow reuse and reanalysis? Even when journals mandate data sharing, our survey of the ecological and evolutionary literature found that 56% of open datasets were incomplete, and 64% were shared in a way that partially or entirely prevented reuse. Given the highly competitive nature of academia, authors might be wary of openly sharing their data for fear of criticism or of others benefiting from their work at their expense. As such, ‘scholarly altruism’ is often cited as a key reason for why some authors are willing to share high quality data that are complete and readily reusable. Our latest (unpublished) work tests this hypothesis by assessing how researchers’ psychological motivations and level of cooperation in real-world situations relate to the quality of their shared datasets.

description: Biologically active peptides play an important role in metabolic regulation and modulation. Several studies have shown that during gastrointestinal digestion, food processing and microbial proteolysis of various animals and plant-based proteins, small peptides with bio-functional properties are released. The existing evidence suggests these peptides potentially possess health-promoting properties for food applications that relate to heart functionality, bone health, digestive and immune systems, mood and stress regulation. This research aims to develop a novel product that contains soymilk, bovine milk, probiotics, prebiotic, and pomegranate juice (PJ). These functional ingredients are known to possess health benefits. As such, this study attempts to identify and measure the selected bioactive peptides in a synbiotic beverage. Using RMIT Hydrothermal Extraction Method, the final product was developed in an experimental design. Yoghurt cultures and probiotic cultures were added to the product to produce the highest amount of probiotic during the shelf life of the product. To produce the drinkable yoghurt, the commercial Pom brand pomegranate juice was aseptically added to the yoghurt. The final product was tested every week for 28 days during its shelf life. The tests included micro, chemical, and biochemical as well as sensory evaluation (with n=32 panellists). RP-HPLC/mass spectrometry (MS) was used to separate and identify the bioactive tripeptides Valyl-Prolyl-Proline (VPP) and Isoleucyl-Prolyl-Proline (IPP) in the final fermented beverage. Lactobacillus helveticus LH-B02 was evaluated for its proteolytic activity and production of the bioactive peptides during fermentation of soy-bovine milk blend. The final synbiotic beverage that contained pomegranate juice and L. helveticus LH-B02 showed a higher amount of tripeptides compared to the control sample.

description: This practice-based research project explores the interplays of Chinese landscape art and contemporary jewellery and objects in the context of the Australian landscape. Living and travelling in Australia as a Chinese foreigner led me to interpret the intercultural experience through depicting natural and inner Australian landscapes. To elaborate on this and to contribute innovation through this research project, I apply the artistic lens and cultural perspective of traditional Chinese landscape art to the subject of Australian landscapes.

Through exploring methods of Chinese landscape depictions and Australian landscapes, I produced a body of work consisting of wearable jewellery and objects. These artefacts of Australian landscapes reinterpreted through a Chinese imagination investigate the contemporary individual experiences and perceptions in the natural and social landscapes of Australia. The findings and outcomes of this research project illuminate the potential and capacity of utilising contemporary jewellery and objects to investigate and encapsulate the convergence of Chinese and Australian materials, landscapes, and cultures.
Topological quantum interference in a pumped Su-Schrieffer-Heeger lattice

description: Topological quantum interference emerges from the interplay between quantum mechanics and topology. We present evidence for two types of such interference phenomenon that can result from the quantum dynamics of initial topological states. We realize both types of topological quantum interference in a pumped non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger lattice that can be implemented by creation and coherent control of excitonic states of trapped neutral atoms. On quenching the system from the topological to the gapless phases and then back again, we find that interference patterns develop in the gapless phase and also after switching back to the topological phase. These patterns occur both as many-excitation interferences generated in the presence of pumping the atoms at the end sites, and as one- and two-excitation interferences seen in the absence of pumping when starting with edge excitations. Investigation of the excitation dynamics shows that these interference patterns originate from the topological nature of the initial states and are very different from quantum interferences originating from non-topological states of the lattice. Our results also reveal that unlike well-known situations where topological states are protected against local perturbations, in the non-Hermitian SSH systems resulting from driving the excited state populations, a local dissipation at each lattice site can suppress both the topological interference and the total population of the lattice.

description: Strategic Design is a live, deeply contextual practice which has nuances embedded within it that have not yet been fully articulated. In this research, I have explored the nature of Strategic Design practice and its evolution over time and in changing contexts. I have done this through a close analysis of my practice and this dissertation provides a practitioner view on this nascent and under-articulated discipline. It comes from the work of a micro-consultancy, and, as such, it does not represent all forms of Strategic Design practice, for example larger consultancies or in- house teams.
This research was conducted via reflective practice combined with forms of design making, including my own reflection on 14 years of projects via an audit and supported by the production of models, frameworks, visualisations and artefacts to learn through making, which is core to this practice.
The aim of the research has been to present a deep level of understanding of how Strategic Design works, and produces new models, and new research mapping methods to analyse live work. In particular this research offers a new approach to working with the unseen aspects of Strategic Design practice called Tradecraft, which has been prototyped into a kit.
In particular, this research articulates the practice of Tradecraft and its value to Strategic Design as a powerful approach to choreographing design activity within organisations to a strategic goal or destination, or their particular choice of purpose. It offers up a means of using diversionary tactics to change our active participation in the design of extractive behaviours, as currently demonstrated by many technology corporations.

description: We consider the problem of obtaining relative location information between two wireless nodes from the differences in their ultra-wideband (UWB) channels to observer nodes. Our approach focuses on the delays of multipath components (MPCs) extracted from the observed channels. For the two different cases of known and unknown MPC association between these channels, we present estimators for the distance and for the relative position vector between the two nodes. The position estimators require both MPC directions and MPC delays as input. All presented estimators exhibit very desirable technological properties: they do not require line-of-sight conditions, precise synchronization, or knowledge about the observer locations or about the environment. These advantages could enable low-cost wireless network localization in dynamic multipath environments. The exposition is complemented by a numerical evaluation of the estimation accuracy using random sampling, where especially the position estimators show the potential for great accuracy.

description: Job interviews involve an exchange of information between interviewers and applicants to assess fit from each side. But current frameworks on interviewers' job previews and applicants' self‐presentation do not completely capture these exchange processes. Using a grounded theory approach, we developed a theoretical model that spans both literatures by showing the complex relationships between job previews and self‐presentation in the interview. Our study also introduces a new way of categorizing applicant self‐presentation and reveals why interviewers and applicants choose to use certain strategies. Based on 43 qualitative interviews with applicants and interviewers, we identified five dominant applicant self‐presentation responses to job preview information: Receding from the Application Process, Reciprocating Reality, Exploiting the RJP, Resisting in Defiance, and Reciprocating Illusion. Furthermore, we found that applicants present many versions of themselves that not only include their actual, favorable, and ought self but also their anticipated‐future self. We also identify interviewers' and applicants' conflicting motives for presenting reality and illusion. Our work provides a deeper understanding of job previews and self‐presentation by providing a big‐picture, yet fine‐grained examination of the communication processes from the viewpoint of the applicant and the interviewer, illustrating implications for both parties and proposing new avenues for research.

description: Computed Tomography (CT) plays an important role in monitoring radiation-induced Pulmonary Fibrosis (PF), where accurate segmentation of the PF lesions is highly desired for diagnosis and treatment follow-up. However, the task is challenged by ambiguous boundary, irregular shape, various position and size of the lesions, as well as the difficulty in acquiring a large set of annotated volumetric images for training. To overcome these problems, we propose a novel convolutional neural network called PF-Net and incorporate it into a semi-supervised learning framework based on Iterative Confidence-based Refinement And Weighting of pseudo Labels (I-CRAWL). Our PF-Net combines 2D and 3D convolutions to deal with CT volumes with large inter-slice spacing, and uses multi-scale guided dense attention to segment complex PF lesions. For semi-supervised learning, our I-CRAWL employs pixel-level uncertainty-based confidence-aware refinement to improve the accuracy of pseudo labels of unannotated images, and uses image-level uncertainty for confidence-based image weighting to suppress low-quality pseudo labels in an iterative training process. Extensive experiments with CT scans of Rhesus Macaques with radiation-induced PF showed that: 1) PF-Net achieved higher segmentation accuracy than existing 2D, 3D and 2.5D neural networks, and 2) I-CRAWL outperformed state-of-the-art semi-supervised learning methods for the PF lesion segmentation task. Our method has a potential to improve the diagnosis of PF and clinical assessment of side effects of radiotherapy for lung cancers.

description: QuOp_MPI is a Python package designed for parallel simulation of quantum variational algorithms. It presents an object-orientated approach to quantum variational algorithm design and utilises MPI-parallelised sparse-matrix exponentiation, the fast Fourier transform and parallel gradient evaluation to achieve the highly efficient simulation of the fundamental unitary dynamics on massively parallel systems. In this article, we introduce QuOp_MPI and explore its application to the simulation of quantum algorithms designed to solve combinatorial optimisation algorithms including the Quantum Approximation Optimisation Algorithm, the Quantum Alternating Operator Ansatz, and the Quantum Walk-assisted Optimisation Algorithm.

description: Standard sirens (SS) are the gravitational wave analog of the astronomical standard candles, and can provide powerful information about the dynamics of the Universe up to very high $z$ values. In this work, we generate three mock SS catalogs based on the merger of massive black hole binaries which are expected to be observed in the LISA operating frequency band. Then, we perform an analysis to test modifications of general relativity (GR) inspired by the No Slip gravity framework. We find that in the best scenarios, we can constrain the free parameters which quantify deviations from GR to 21\% accuracy, while the Hubble parameter can be simultaneously fit to 6\% accuracy. In combination with CMB information, we find a 15\% accuracy on the modified gravity free parameters and 0.7\% accuracy on the Hubble parameter. The SS events at very large cosmological distances to be observed in LISA band will provide a unique way to test nature of gravity, but in the context of the analysis performed here, it will not be possible to distinguish the No Slip gravity from GR.

description: We apply the idea of landscape (motivated by string theory) to study the statistical nature of parameters/couplings in the standard model of strong and electroweak interactions. Following the success of this approach on the fermion masses, we discuss the divergent behavior of the probability distributions of other physical parameters/couplings to obtain some insights on the quantities that cannot be measured by current experiments but can be relevant in cosmology, in particular those in the neutrino sector. From a relatively strongly mixed PMNS matrix, we argue that the probability distribution of heavy neutrino mass $P(M)$ does not diverge at $M=0$. This analysis favors the degenerate heavy neutrino scenarios.

De Criminali Proportione: On Proportionality Standing Between National Criminal Laws and the E.U. Fundamental Freedoms
Creators: name: Rosanò, Alessandro
Publisher: name: University of Bologna Law Review

Subjects: Principle of Proportionality; European Court of Justice; Free Movement of Persons; Free Movements of Goods; Free Movement of Services

description: Over time, the European Court of Justice has had to clarify whether and under what circumstances national laws may put one of the four fundamental freedoms of the internal  market  aside  in  cases  concerning  clashes  between  national  regulations  and said freedoms. The answers provided by the E.C.J. have always focused on the centrality of  the  principle  of  proportionality,  expressing  the  idea  that  a  balance  between conflicting interests and means to protect those interests must be reached. An a priori protection of the fundamental freedoms has been refused  in favor of a more concrete kind of approach. This article deals with this topic, assessing the relationship between proportionality and free movement of persons, goods, and services. Also, it is checked whether, thanks to the principle of proportionality, the E.C.J. may achieve the role of a European  Constitutional  Court  that  can  protect  the  E.U.  interests  without  putting national interests aside.

description: We introduce a block-online variant of the temporal feature-wise linear modulation (TFiLM) model to achieve bandwidth extension. The proposed architecture simplifies the UNet backbone of the TFiLM to reduce inference time and employs an efficient transformer at the bottleneck to alleviate performance degradation. We also utilize self-supervised pretraining and data augmentation to enhance the quality of bandwidth extended signals and reduce the sensitivity with respect to downsampling methods. Experiment results on the VCTK dataset show that the proposed method outperforms several recent baselines in both intrusive and non-intrusive metrics. Pretraining and filter augmentation also help stabilize and enhance the overall performance.

Explaining noise trader risk: evidence from Chinese stock market
Creators: name: Xu, Xiaoming
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: We test for noise trader risk in China stock market through the interaction between noise traders and information traders by applying the Information-Adjusted Noise Model. Information traders tend to underreact, overreact or increase information pricing error (IPE effects) on the stock market. Consequently information traders in China drive price away from fundamental level rather than correcting for the price error. We test our model using data from the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. We finally present evidence that the market is informational inefficient. The most common violation of information efficiency is overreaction and information pricing error. Liquidity, profitability, size, leverage, capital expenditure, price to book ratio, financial crisis, seasonality and market sentiment are used to explain noise trader risk.

 The existing literature confirms the existence of noise trader risk in developed markets like the US and Australia but little has been done in emerging markets. The literature suspects the existence of noise trader risk in China but there is no ‘direct and appropriate methodology’ that has been used to quantity this risk. Furthermore there is a relatively thin (almost inexistent) literature on the interaction between noise traders and information traders in the Chinese stock market. The main contributions of this paper are (1) we show an interaction between noise traders and information traders in terms of overreaction, underreaction and information pricing errors, (2) we show whether there are opportunities to profit from these noise traders, (3) we explain the causes noise trader risk and (4) we created a database for information arrival in China.
Third Order Modal Exceptional Degeneracy in Waveguides with Glide-Time Symmetry

description: The dispersion of a three-way waveguide is engineered to exhibit exceptional modal characteristics. Two coupled waveguides with Parity-Time (PT) symmetry have been previously demonstrated to exhibit second order exceptional points of degeneracy (EPDs). In this work, we introduce and investigate a particular class of EPDs, applicable from radio frequency to optical wavelengths, whereby three coupled waveguides satisfy Glide-Time (GT) symmetry to exhibit a third order modal degeneracy with a real-valued wavenumber. GT symmetry involves glide symmetry of lossless/gainless components of the waveguide in addition to changing the sign of passive/active elements while applying a glide symmetry operation. This GT-symmetry condition allows three Floquet-Bloch eigenmodes of the structure to coalesce to a real-valued wavenumber at a single frequency, in addition of having one branch of the dispersion diagram with a purely real wavenumber. The proposed scheme may have applications including but not limited to distributed amplifiers, radiating arrays, and sensors, from radio frequency to optics.

description: We explore the dynamical phases of unitary Clifford circuits with variable-range interactions, coupled to a monitoring environment. We investigate two classes of models, distinguished by the action of the unitary gates, which either are organized in clusters of finite-range two-body gates, or are pair-wise interactions randomly distributed throughout the system with a power-law distribution. We find the range of the interactions plays a key role in characterizing both phases and their measurement-induced transitions. For the cluster unitary gates we find a transition between a phase with volume-law scaling of the entanglement entropy and a phase with area-law entanglement entropy. Our results indicate that the universality class of the phase transition is compatible to that of short range hybrid Clifford circuits. Oppositely, in the case of power-law distributed gates, we find the universality class of the phase transition changes continuously with the parameter controlling the range of interactions. In particular, for intermediate values of the control parameter, we find a non-conformal critical line which separates a phase with volume-law scaling of the entanglement entropy from one with sub-extensive scaling. Within this region, we find the entanglement entropy and the logarithmic negativity present a cross-over from a phase with algebraic growth of entanglement with system size, and an area-law phase.
