description: New organic–inorganic hybrid selenidostannates [{Mn(2,2′-bipy)2}2(µ2-Sn2Se6)] (1) and [TM(2,2′-bipy)3]2[Sn3Se7]2·(2,2′-bipy)·H2O (TM = Co (2), Ni (3); 2,2′-bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine) were prepared under hydrothermal conditions. In 1, two edge-sharing [SnSe4] tetrahedra condense to form a dimeric [Sn2Se6]4– unit. The [Sn2Se6]4– unit is a tetradentate chelating ligand via four terminal Se atoms to join two unsaturated [Mn(2,2′-bipy)2]2+ complexes, forming a neutral complex [{Mn(2,2′-bipy)2}2(µ2-Sn2Se6)]. Compounds 2 and 3 consist of extended [Sn3Se7]2– selenidostannate anions, octahedral [TM(2,2′-bipy)3]2+ complex cations, and 2,2′-bipy and H2O molecules. The structural features of 2 and 3 are coexistence of both 1-D[Sn3Se72−]∞1 and 2-D[Sn3Se72−]∞2 polymeric anions. The 1-D[Sn3Se72−]∞1 chain is constructed by interconnection of the secondary building units (SBUs) Sn3Se9 via sharing two Se atoms, while the 2-D[Sn3Se72−]∞2 layer is constructed by Sn3Se10 SBUs via sharing three Se atoms. Compounds 1–3 exhibit narrow semiconducting band gaps varying in the range of 1.95–2.14 eV. Compound 2 displays higher photocatalytic activity than 1 on the degradation of crystal violet in water under visible irradiation.

description: SCYNet (SUSY Calculating Yield Net) is a tool for testing supersymmetric models against LHC data. It uses neural network regression for a fast evaluation of the profile likelihood ratio. Two neural network approaches have been developed: one network has been trained using the parameters of the 11-dimensional phenomenological Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (pMSSM-11) as an input and evaluates the corresponding profile likelihood ratio within milliseconds. It can thus be used in global pMSSM-11 fits without time penalty. In the second approach, the neural network has been trained using model-independent signature-related objects, such as energies and particle multiplicities, which were estimated from the parameters of a given new physics model. While the calculation of the energies and particle multiplicities takes up computation time, the corresponding neural network is more general and can be used to predict the LHC profile likelihood ratio for a wider class of new physics models.

Pantomime dancing and metamorphosis literature in Late Antiquity
Creators: name: Harding, Ray
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Almost coincident with the end of the Roman Republic and Augustus' assumption of imperial power, Tragedy, a genre Rome had inherited from Greece and never been entirely successful in adapting to its own ends, disappeared almost entirely from the literary record as a performance genre. Tragedy on stage would henceforth be restricted to the performances of the pantomimes wherein a single dancer would enact all the roles in a given tragedy. Pantomime along with its more low-brow travelling companion mime, which similarly replaced comedy as a genre, would remain the dominant theatrical performance styles in the Roman and subsequent Byzantine Empires until their banning under Canons 51 and 62 of the Council in Trullo seven hundred years later. Approximately twenty-five years after the generally accepted date for the introduction of pantomime to the Roman world by the dancers Bathyllus of Alexandria and Pylades of Cilicia, 23/22 BCE, Ovid, drawing upon a long-established Greek tradition would assay the first major account in Latin of the metamorphosis tales that were such a feature of the mythology Rome had inherited from its eastern neighbours. Tales which either involved incidences of metamorphosis or which were, like Ovid's 15 book opus, a compendium of such tales would appear again and again in both languages (but most frequently in Greek) over the next five hundred years - the last major example being the Dionysiaca of Nonnus written approximately 520CE, coincidentally very close to the point at which Justinian would deliver the first of a series of body-blows to pantomime by withdrawing support for theatre in order to finance his wars of reconquest in Italy. It is the contention of this thesis that there was what amounts to a symbiotic relationship between pantomime and metamorphosis tales that accounts both for the longevity of each and the temporal parallels between them. Simply put, a great deal of the popularity of the pantomime lay in the extraordinary plasticity of the dancers and their ability to embody thereby the transformations of the famous tales, and by doing so raise the tantalising possibility that the tales could be true. Despite long-held claims of the Roman 'invention' of the genre, modern scholars are in general agreement that what appeared at the court of Augustus at the beginning of the generation prior to the commencement of the Common Era, was simply a modification of a long pre-existing Greek practice. With this in mind it is the further contention of this work that pantomime and its retelling of the traditional Greek stories operated in parallel with the display orators of the Second Sophistic as a means by which those who identified themselves as Greek kept their culture and traditions alive during the long centuries of Roman rule.

description: Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a ubiquitous environmental toxicant that is a liver and kidney carcinogen. Conjugation of TCE with glutathione (GSH) leads to formation of nepthrotoxic and mutagenic metabolites postulated to be critical for kidney cancerdevelopment; however, relatively little is known regarding their tissue levels as previous analytical methods for their detection lacked sensitivity. Here, an LC-MS/MS-based method for simultaneous detection of S-(1,2-dichlorovinyl)-glutathione (DCVG), S-(1,2-dichlorovinyl)-L-cysteine (DCVC), and N-acetyl-S-(1,2-dichlorovinyl)-L-cysteine (NAcDCVC) in multiple mouse tissues was developed. This analytical method is rapid, sensitive (limits of detection (LOD) 3–30 fmol across metabolites and tissues), and robust to quantify all three metabolites in liver, kidneys, and serum. The method was used to characterize inter-tissue and inter-strain variability in formation of conjugative metabolites of TCE. Single oral dose of TCE (24, 240 or 800 mg/kg) was administered to male mice from 20 inbred strains of Collaborative Cross. Inter-strain variability in the levels of DCVG, DCVC, and NAcDCVC (GSD = 1.6–2.9) was observed. Whereas NAcDCVC was distributed equally among analyzed tissues, highest levels of DCVG were detected in liver and DCVC in kidneys. Evidence indicated that inter-strain variability in conjugative metabolite formation of TCE might affect susceptibility to adverse health effects and that this method might aid in filling data gaps in human health assessment of TCE.

description: We use the Horizon Run 4 cosmological N -body simulation to study the effects of distant and close interactions on the alignments of the shapes, spins, and orbits of targets haloes with their neighbours, and their dependence on the local density environment and neighbour separation. Interacting targets have a significantly lower spin and higher sphericity and oblateness than all targets. Interacting pairs initially have anti-parallel spins, but the spins develop parallel alignment as time goes on. Neighbours tend to evolve in the plane of rotation of the target, and in the direction of the major axis of prolate haloes. Moreover, interactions are preferentially radial, while pairs with non-radial orbits are preferentially prograde. The alignment signals are stronger at high-mass and for close separations, and independent on the large-scale density. Positive alignment signals are found at redshifts up to 4, and increase with decreasing redshifts. Moreover, the orbits tend to become prograde at low redshift, while no alignment is found at high redshift (z = 4).

description: Stereoselective formation of glycosidic bonds remains one of the most challenging topics in carbohydrate chemistry. The predominant method for stereoselective construction of 1,2-trans-glycosidic bonds is through the neighboring group participation effect (NGPE), which proved to be less successful in synthesizing Galβ(1→3)GalNAc disaccharide. The steric effect that overshadows NGPE and the impacts of substituents at the 3-O- and 2-N-positions of donors and acceptors, respectively, on this synthesis were systematically examined to lead to some practical guidelines for choosing protecting groups towards the successful synthesis of Galβ(1→3)GalNAc and similar disaccharides.

description: Planck's formula and General Relativity indicate that potential energy influences spacetime. Using Einstein's Equivalence Principle and an extension of his Chock Hypothesis, an explicit description of this influence is derived. We present a new relativity model by incorporating the influence of the potential energy on spacetime in Newton's dynamics for motion under a central force. This model extends the model used by Friedman and Steiner to obtain the exact precession of Mercury without curving spacetime. We also present a solution of this model for a hydrogen-like atom, which explains the reason for a probabilistic description.

description: Transfusion-independent patients with thalassemia intermedia (TI) develop fatal iron overload from excessive iron absorption triggered by ineffective erythropoiesis. More information about iron pharmacokinetics and nonheme, dietary iron absorption in such patients is needed to optimize management. To obtain more information, different forms of supplemental nonheme iron sources (ferritin and ferrous sulfate) were compared in 4 TI (hemoglobin <9 g/dL) and 6 control (hemoglobin 12–16 g/dL) patients. Serial serum iron concentrations were measured during the 24 hours following consumption of 1 mg/kg of elemental iron as ferritin or ferrous sulfate. Serum iron concentrations were also measured for one TI patient and one control patient 2 hours after the ingestion of 2 mg/kg of dietary iron in ferritin or ferrous sulfate. Maximum serum iron concentrations were observed 4 hours after the consumption of either dietary iron source. However, the serum iron values were unchanged for either dietary iron source, even at the higher doses of consumed iron. Thus, the bioavailability of dietary iron, either as ferritin or ferrous sulfate, was equivalent in both groups of patients. The pilot data support ferritin as an alternative dietary iron supplement to ferrous sulfate.

Enabling conversational question answering using a Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) based model

description: As one promising way to inquire about any particular information through a dialog with the bot, question answering dialog systems have gained increasing research interest recently. However, such systems often struggle when the dialog is carried out in multiple turns by the users to seek more information based on what they have already learned. Although several works have dealt with the issue of history modeling in multi-turn question answering, most have focused on either prepending the history questions and answers, employing complex attention mechanism or not capturing the entire context of the history conversation. To address this issue, we propose a BERT based Conversational Question Answering in Context (BERT-CoQAC) that involves the seamless integration of the relevant context of conversational history into a BERT-based question answering model. This study proposes a framework that provides a dynamic history selection process and combines the embeddings of history answers along with the history questions to generate a complete input in order to capture the understanding of the current query more accurately. To test our approach, we performed extensive experiments and the results implies that having a proper history conversation modeling is necessary to achieve better results. We also studied the effect of not having a history selection mechanism to provide new insights into history conversation modeling.

description: Quantum entanglement swapping is one of the most promising ways to realize the quantum connection among local quantum nodes. In this Letter, we present an experimental demonstration of the entanglement swapping between two independent multipartite entangled states, each of which involves a tripartite Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) entangled state of an optical field. The entanglement swapping is implemented deterministically by means of a joint measurement on two optical modes coming from the two multipartite entangled states respectively and the classical feedforward of the measurement results. After entanglement swapping the two independent multipartite entangled states are merged into a large entangled state in which all unmeasured quantum modes are entangled. The entanglement swapping between a tripartite GHZ state and an Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen entangled state is also demonstrated and the dependence of the resultant entanglement on transmission loss is investigated. The presented experiment provides a feasible technical reference for constructing more complicated quantum networks.

description: We present the discovery and spectrophotometric characterization of a large sample of 164 faint ($i_{AB}$ $\sim$ $23$-$25$ mag) star-forming dwarf galaxies (SFDGs) at redshift $0.13$ $\leq z \leq$ $0.88$ selected by the presence of bright optical emission lines in the VIMOS Ultra Deep Survey (VUDS). We investigate their integrated physical properties and ionization conditions, which are used to discuss the low-mass end of the mass-metallicity relation (MZR) and other key scaling relations. We use optical VUDS spectra in the COSMOS, VVDS-02h, and ECDF-S fields, as well as deep multiwavelength photometry, to derive stellar masses, star formation rates (SFR) and gas-phase metallicities. The VUDS SFDGs are compact (median $r_{e}$ $\sim$ $1.2$ kpc), low-mass ($M_{*}$ $\sim$ $10^7-10^9$ $M_{\odot}$) galaxies with a wide range of star formation rates (SFR($Hα$) $\sim 10^{-3}-10^{1}$ $M_{\odot}/yr$) and morphologies. Overall, they show a broad range of subsolar metallicities (12+log(O/H)=$7.26$-$8.7$; $0.04$ $\lesssim Z/Z_{\odot} \lesssim$ $1$). The MZR of SFDGs shows a flatter slope compared to previous studies of galaxies in the same mass range and redshift. We find the scatter of the MZR partly explained in the low mass range by varying specific SFRs and gas fractions amongst the galaxies in our sample. Compared with simple chemical evolution models we find that most SFDGs do not follow the predictions of a "closed-box" model, but those from a gas regulating model in which gas flows are considered. While strong stellar feedback may produce large-scale outflows favoring the cessation of vigorous star formation and promoting the removal of metals, younger and more metal-poor dwarfs may have recently accreted large amounts of fresh, very metal-poor gas, that is used to fuel current star formation.

description: Solvothermal reaction of a multidentate ligand (tetrakis[4-(1-triazolyl)phenyl]-methane (ttpm)), with Cd(NO3)2 afforded a cationic Cd(II) coordination polymer {[Cd(ttpm)·DMSO]·2NO3}n. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses showed that ttpm belonged to the tetragonal space group I41/a, and 1 was a 2-D (4,4) network. 1-D channels along the c direction exist in the 3D stacking map to accommodate the charge-balancing NO3− anions. N2 adsorption/desorption experiments showed the framework had a BET surface area of 11.36 m2·g−1. Compared with luminescence of ttpm, 1 showed red-shifted luminescence spectra with higher intensity from the more rigid arrangement of the π systems.

Evolution and ecology of two iconic Australian clades: the Meliphagidae (birds) and the Hakeinae (plants)
Creators: name: Miller, Eliot T.
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The first theme of this dissertation explores the evolution of two iconic groups of species through Australian climate space: the Meliphagidae, or honeyeaters, which are primarily nectar-feeding birds, and the Hakeinae, a section of the plant family Proteaceae. Both groups are inferred to have had their origins in Gondwanan rainforests that were widespread across Australia 45 million years ago and then diversified into more arid environments as the continent’s climate became more arid. Accordingly, dry environments are inhabited by closely related (phylogenetically clustered) sets of species, although, in contrast to the honeyeaters, Hakeinae communities are characterized by more localized diversification. The impressive and rapid Hakeinae diversification may have been driven by specialization onto a variety of highly weathered, nutrient-poor soil types on the ancient Australian landmass. The second theme of this dissertation reviews a variety of methods to assess the phylogenetic structure of communities, such as local assemblages of honeyeaters and Hakeinae. Many published methods were found to be redundant, and some of the truly unique approaches do not measure what they purport to. Accordingly, only a small subset of phylogenetic community structure methods have merit. In the third theme of the dissertation, observations on foraging by 74 of 75 Australian honeyeater species are used to explore patterns of community assembly. Australian honeyeater communities reflect both stochastic and deterministic processes. Co-occurring species exhibit substantial overlap in foraging niche space, in contrast to assembly theory based on competition, which predicts minimal similarity among co-occurring species. At the same time, species tend to occupy characteristic portions of niche space and available niche space is smaller in the arid regions of the continent. Within this smaller available niche space, arid-zone species tend to be more widely separated in niche space than species in more mesic environments.
Nearby cycles of Whittaker sheaves on Drinfeld's compactification

description: In this article we study the perverse sheaf on Drinfeld's compactification obtained by applying the geometric Jacquet functor (alias nearby cycles) to a nondegenerate Whittaker sheaf. Namely, we describe its restrictions along the defect stratification in terms of the Langlands dual Lie algebra, in particular showing that this nearby cycles sheaf is tilting. We also describe the subquotients of the monodromy filtration using the Picard-Lefschetz oscillators introduced by S. Schieder, including a proof that the subquotients are semisimple without reference to any theory of weights. This argument instead relies on the action of the Langlands dual Lie algebra on compactified Eisenstein series (or what is essentially the same, cohomology of quasimaps into the flag variety) constructed by Feigin, Finkelberg, Kuznetsov, and Mirkovic.

description: The high-precision cross-section data for the reaction $γp \to K^{*+}Λ$ reported by the CLAS Collaboration at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility have been analyzed based on an effective Lagrangian approach in the tree-level approximation. Apart from the $t$-channel $K$, $κ$, $K^*$ exchanges, the $s$-channel nucleon ($N$) exchange, the $u$-channel $Λ$, $Σ$, $Σ^*(1385)$ exchanges, and the generalized contact term, the contributions from the near-threshold nucleon resonances in the $s$-channel are also taken into account in constructing the reaction amplitude. It is found that, to achieve a satisfactory description of the differential cross section data, at least two nucleon resonances should be included. By including the $N(2060){5/2}^-$ resonance, which is responsible for the shape of the angular distribution near the $K^*Λ$ threshold, and one of the $N(2000){5/2}^+$, $N(2040){3/2}^+$, $N(2100){1/2}^+$, $N(2120){3/2}^-$ and $N(2190){7/2}^-$ resonances, one can describe the cross-section data quite well, with the fitted resonance masses and widths compatible with those advocated by the Particle Data Group. The resulted predictions of the beam, target, and recoil asymmetries are found to be quite different from various fits, indicating the necessity of the spin observable data for $γp \to K^{*+}Λ$ to further pin down the resonance contents and associated parameters in this reaction.

Tribology of artificial hip joints

description: Trauma and arthritis can severely impair hip joint function resulting in pain and restricted motion. Often, affected hip joints are replaced by artificial joints which are assumed to be one of the best clinical treatment options. Presently, over one million hip replacements are performed annually world-wide. Due to the limited lifespan of implants and unfavourable results of revision total hip arthroplasty, it is critical, especially for the younger population, that the longevity of the hip implant becomes maximised. The present study aims to firstly better understand the dynamic mechanism of the artificial hip joint and secondly to investigate important issues affecting the lifespan and performance of hip implants. To this end, a three-dimensional computational biomechanics model based upon multibody dynamics methodology is developed taking the spatial nature of the physiological loading and motion of the human body, the inertial forces of the hip components and bearing surface tribology into account. The calculation of the intra-joint contact forces developed is based on a continuous contact force approach that accounts for the geometrical and materials properties of the contacting surfaces. In addition, the friction effects due to the contact between hip components are also taken into account using the Stribeck friction model. Nonlinear dynamics and vibration of artificial hip joints, contact pressure distribution, hip moment and hip squeaking are investigated using this multibody model. Moreover, the Archard’s wear law is considered and embedded in the dynamic hip multibody model, which allows for the prediction of the wear developed in the hip joint. With the purpose of having more realistic wear simulation conditions, the geometries of the acetabular cup and femoral head are updated throughout the dynamic analysis. The main results obtained from computational simulations are compared and validated with those available in the best-published literature. Finally, from the study performed in the present work, it can be concluded that the main reason of hip squeaking is friction-induced vibration owing to different phenomena such as stick-slip friction, negative-sloping friction and contact force changes. Friction influences the trajectory of the contact point between the cup and head over the gait cycle. In addition, a potential cause of the high wear rates seen in vivo may be due to friction-induced vibration.

description: The discrete variables (DV) time-frequency (TF) quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol is a BB84 like protocol, which utilizes time and frequency as complementary bases. As orthogonal modulations, pulse position modulation (PPM) and frequency shift keying (FSK) are capable of transmitting several bits per symbol, i.e. per photon. However, unlike traditional binary polarization shift keying, PPM and FSK do not allow perfectly complementary bases. So information is not completely deleted when the wrong-basis filters are applied. Since a general security proof does not yet exist, we numerically assess DV-TF-QKD. We show that the secret key rate increases with a higher number of symbols per basis. Further we identify the optimal pulse relations in the two bases in terms of key rate and resistance against eavesdropping attacks.

description: Recently the experimentalists in [PRL 116, 042501 (2016)] announced observing an unexpected enhancement of the electron-positron pair production signal in one of the Beryllium-8 nuclear transitions. The following studies have been focused on possible explanations based on introducing new types of particle. In this work, we improve the nuclear physics modeling of the reaction by studying the pair emission anisotropy and the interferences between different multipoles in an effective field theory inspired framework, and examine their possible relevance to the anomaly. The connection between the previously measured on-shell photon production and the pair production in the same nuclear transitions is established. These improvements, absent in the original experimental analysis, should be included in extracting new particle's properties from the experiment of this type. We then study the possibility of using the nuclear transition form factor to explain the anomaly. The reduction of the anomaly's significance by simply rescaling our predicted event count is also investigated.

Work integrated learning in transnational higher education: undergraduate business programmes in Vietnam

description: This thesis examines the value of work integrated learning (WIL) in a transnational education environment (TNE) in Vietnam through an in-depth investigation of stakeholder perspectives. Research focused on transnational education is growing, along with research on work integrated learning, however there is little published research that investigates the value that universities with transnational campuses provide by delivering WIL programmes offshore. WIL programmes and building collaborative relationships with WIL industry partners is resource-intensive, even in domestic university environments. The challenge of cultivating and maintaining mutually-beneficial relationships with industry, and understanding the external learning context in order to plan and maintain successful locally-relevant WIL learning experiences is magnified in TNE environments that differ in sociocultural, educational, legal and industry contexts from the university's home country. This research uses a constructionist grounded theory methodology that aimed to discover fundamental insights that contribute to effective WIL processes in Vietnam. Although university internships are commonplace in that country, there is a systemic lack of connection between education and industry. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 48 participants from three external stakeholder groups of an Australian university that delivers undergraduate business degrees in Vietnam: alumni, work supervisors of interns, and human resource managers. Alumni perceived internships as transformative learning experiences valuable to transition from TNE study to local working environments. Intern work supervisors reported that communication with academics demonstrated the university's care and professionalism, and were positive about collaborating to improve intern learning. Human resource managers perceived graduate attitudes and mindset as crucial to graduate work-readiness and stated that practical exposure was a crucial skill-shaping factor but expressed ambivalence about the work-readiness of some foreign and TNE graduates despite their skill levels. Results are limited in scope to Vietnam, but a proposed conceptual framework based on stakeholder theory indicates that institutional support for WIL generates locally-relevant student learning outcomes, mutually-beneficial collaborative relationships between frontline academic and industry staff, and wider institutional benefits that are particularly valuable in the TNE environment.
Tsallis entropy and general polygamy of multi-party quantum entanglement in arbitrary dimensions

description: We establish a unified view to the polygamy of multi-party quantum entanglement in arbitrary dimensions. Using quantum Tsallis-$q$ entropy, we provide a one-parameter class of polygamy inequalities of multi-party quantum entanglement. This class of polygamy inequalities reduces to the known polygamy inequalities based on tangle and entanglement of assistance for a selective choice of the parameter $q$. We further provide one-parameter generalizations of various quantum correlations based on Tsallis-$q$ entropy. By investigating the properties of the generalized quantum correlations, we provide a sufficient condition, on which the Tsallis-$q$ polygamy inequalities hold in multi-party quantum systems of arbitrary dimensions.

Hong Kong Chinese language teachers' perception of mother tongue language education

Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Effective curriculum development and implementation should base on cultural background and take teachers' views into account. Mother tongue is a core subject in school curricula of most countries. Mother tongue language is not only the tool with which knowledge and skills are taught, but also the vehicle for students to learn the traditions of the countries' literature and culture. These are also important elements in traditional Chinese education. Hong Kong as an ex-colony of British and with the majority of population Chinese, mother tongue curriculum has long been a hot debated issue. This thesis consists of literature review on traditional Chinese education and mother tongue language education to work out assumed aims and objectives of mother tongue language education in the context of post-colonial Hong Kong. Formal curriculum, public examination papers and school assessment tools were analysed to reflect government policies and actual practice in schools. Data on questionnaire and interviews on Hong Kong Chinese language teachers’ views were presented to establish the relationship between formal curriculum and teachers’ preferred curriculum. The results showed that although the Curriculum Guide included culture and literature in the key learning areas of the subject Chinese Language, public examination and actual school practice were still skills-oriented, leaving little room for classical literature. These in fact hindered the aim of developing students culturally during their learning of the subject. Questionnaire survey and interview results showed that experienced Chinese language teachers held similar views with that of traditional Chinese education. They saw Chinese language education more as developing students morally and culturally than just teaching their language skills. Familiarizing students with their heritage culture and learning of classic Chinese literature were important aims of Chinese language learning. The findings indicated that there was tension between teachers’ belief and formal curriculum in Hong Kong.

Searching for GC-like abundance patterns in young massive clusters II. - Results from the Antennae galaxies

description: The presence of multiple populations (MPs) with distinctive light element abundances is a widespread phenomenon in clusters older than 6 Gyr. Clusters with masses, luminosities, and sizes comparable to those of ancient globulars are still forming today. Nonetheless, the presence of light element variations has been poorly investigated in such young systems, even if the knowledge of the age at which this phenomenon develops is crucial for theoretical models on MPs. We use J-band integrated spectra of three young (7-40 Myr) clusters in NGC 4038 to look for Al variations indicative of MPs. Assuming that the large majority (>70%) of stars are characterised by high Al content - as observed in Galactic clusters with comparable mass; we find that none of the studied clusters show significant Al variations. Small Al spreads have been measured in all the six young clusters observed in the near-infrared. While it is unlikely that young clusters only show low Al whereas old ones display different levels of Al variations; this suggests the possibility that MPs are not present at such young ages at least among the high-mass stellar component. Alternatively, the fraction of stars with field-like chemistry could be extremely large, mimicking low Al abundances in the integrated spectrum. Finally, since the near-infrared stellar continuum of young clusters is almost entirely due to luminous red supergiants, we can also speculate that MPs only manifest themselves in low mass stars due to some evolutionary mechanism.

description: In June 2016, we assembled a group of scientists, practitioners, and policy-makers who are involved professionally with biodiversity conservation and charged them with the task of co-creating a research agenda for biodiversity conservation in Vermont. Participants were asked to answer two questions in particular: what are the key threats to biodiversity in Vermont, and what knowledge do we need to address these threats? By bringing together this diverse group of stakeholders and asking them to discuss these questions together, we sought to narrow the divides among science, policy, and action that have at times hindered development and implementation of effective biodiversity-conservation strategies. As Vermont enters an era of potentially rapid change in land use and land cover, brought about by large-scale processes including climate change and demographic and economic shifts that favor developed lands over wild or working lands, the need for unified conservation strategies that draw on the strengths of all stakeholders will become increasingly critical. Addressing this need requires dismantling the silos that separate scientists, conservation practitioners, and decision-makers. This dialogue event was a preliminary effort at doing so.
