Galaxy Quenching from Cosmic Web Detachment

description: We propose the Cosmic Web Detachment (CWD) model, a framework to interpret the star-formation history of galaxies in a cosmological context. The CWD model unifies several starvation mechanisms known to disrupt or stop star formation into one single physical framework. Galaxies begin accreting star-forming gas at early times via a network of primordial filaments, simply related to the pattern of density fluctuations in the initial conditions. But when shell-crossing occurs on intergalactic scales, this pattern is disrupted, and the galaxy detaches from its primordial filaments, ending the accretion of cold gas. We argue that CWD encompasses known external processes halting star formation, such as harassment, strangulation and starvation. On top of these external processes, internal feedback processes such as AGN contribute to stop in star formation as well. By explicitly pointing out the non-linear nature of CWD events we introduce a simple formalism to identify CWD events in N-body simulations. With it we reproduce and explain, in the context of CWD, several observations including downsizing, the cosmic star formation rate history, the galaxy mass-color diagram and the dependence of the fraction of red galaxies with mass and local density.

Homesick : women's entrapment within the father's house. A comparative study of the fiction of Helen Garner, Beverley Farmer, Jessica Anderson and Elizabeth Harrower
Creators: name: Quigley, Marian
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2018
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In the selected fiction of Helen Gamer, Beverley Farmer, Jessica Anderson and Elizabeth Harrower, the changing nature of women's relationship to the house and its use as metaphor reflects the changes in women's social, economic and cultural position which occurred in Australia during the 1950s-1990s. Women in these texts are shown to be 'housed' in varying degrees by the nation, religion, family, language, femininity and the body as well as by domesticity. These female characters are 'homesick': either for or of the house. The differing nature of this 'homesickness' is illustrated by the writers' varying representations of the house. The domestic house in Harrower's novels is depicted as a tomb: a reflection of women's fixed roles during the 1950s. In Gamer's post-'liberation' novel, The Children's Bach, the house resembles a womb: a sanctuary from male sexuality. The liberating effects of the women's movement can be seen in the increasing representations of Irigarayan 'living houses' which allow the expression of femininity. Farmer's houses and 'volatile' female bodies often cross male-defined boundaries to merge with the landscape. In Anderson's novel The Impersonators, houses are abandoned. Gamer's work both celebrates and re-defines the house as a site which, like language and female sexuality, is unfixed. Together, the work of Gamer, Farmer, Anderson and Harrower suggests that the re-housing and re-construction of women by and for themselves is in process and likely to continue.
Sustaining safely managed drinking water services in rural schools in Chandpur District, Bangladesh (REACH Discussion brief)
Creators: name: REACH
Publisher: name: University of Oxford
Year: 2018

description: The Government of Bangladesh estimates over 100,000 primary, secondary, private and Madrassa schools need to provide safe and reliable water to every child, every day. Most schools rely on tubewells to provide low-cost and convenient groundwater. Monitoring and improving the delivery of safe water services is a major challenge.
This pilot study in Chandpur District explores the benefits of new, automated data loggers, which attach to the handle of a handpump and report data, estimating daily and hourly water usage and changes in performance, such as seasonal demand or downtime. The latter may be due to no usage (holidays, alternatives) or failure events. Understanding and responding to variable usage and failure events will help to monitor infrastructure, improve management systems, and guide future planning and investment.

description: We propose an improvement of the basis for the solution of the stationary two-centre Dirac equation in Cassini coordinates using the finite-basis-set method presented in Ref. [1]. For the calculations in Ref. [1], we constructed the basis for approximating the energy eigenfunctions by using smooth piecewise defined polynomials, called B-splines. In the present article, we report that an analysis of the employed representation of the Dirac matrices shows that the above approximation is not efficient using B-splines only. Therefore, we include basis functions which are defined using functions with step-like behaviour instead of B-splines. Thereby, we achieve a significant increase of accuracy of results as compared to Ref. [1].

Ship based weather routeing (using dynamical meteorology)

Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1981

description: Merged with duplicate record 10026.1/2688 on 28.02.2017 by CS (TIS)
description: The relevance of ship based routeing is discussed. Data collected at sea are analysed to produce vessel response characteristics Meteorological data are analysed in a conventional manner to establish effective steering criteria with respect to 500 mb flow. For the first time a routeing model is formulated which recognises the three spatial dimensions of a middle latitude storm. A theoretical analysis of relative flow in a growing baroclinic wave is undertaken. Reference to displacement of the wave trough affords a measure of both storm development and steering effectiveness. Short, medium and long term planning elements are combined in a model. The effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated by actually "weather routeing" a vessel, whilst comparing progress of a sister ship navigated conventionally. Sources of error and limitations of the model are discussed.
The Legacy of Gildas: Constructions of Authority in the Early Medieval West

Subjects: Religious Studies
History

description: Perceptions of the early medieval Christian culture of the British Isles have long been shaped by a sense that this culture evolved away from the episcopal structures of the continental Roman Church immediately after the fall of the Roman Empire. Within the limited sources that describe this ‘Celtic Christianity’, the Briton Gildas emerges as a significant figure. In exploring the legacy of Gildas, this thesis demonstrates that the Christian culture of the British Isles in the early medieval period was neither idiosyncratic nor exceptional but, rather, connected to broader contestations over innovations in political and ecclesiastical authority in Western Europe.

description: These are the slides from the LIBER 2020 Session Cultural Change. Session Description: Continuous technological developments in communication and transportation mean the world is more globalized and connected than ever before. Libraries cannot afford to lag behind. It is crucial to keep up with the developments and strengthen our foothold in the research communities. But how do we achieve this? How do we cope with cultural changes? How do we adapt and organise our institutions so that we can face this new and dynamic environment? If these questions sound familiar to you, and you would like to know how others in the field have successfully tackled these issues, this session is relevant for you. Through three presentations, the theme of adapting our libraries, library collections and organisational strategies to the future will be addressed. Gyöngyi Karácsony will emphasize the importance of a library’s organisational culture. She believes that a strong, open culture is key and her presentation will elaborate on the forces shaping this culture, as well as introducing the Competing Values Framework (CVF), identifying and categorizing an institution’s culture. She will conclude by illustrating the differences between weak and strong cultures, and how these affect performance, innovation and engagement. Next, Justine Louise Rush will present her findings on the transformative power of library collections at the University of Kent. She will stress the importance of reflecting our academic communities in these resources. At the University of Kent, they achieved this by mapping out Special Collections and Archives collections to facilitate their use in supporting research-led teaching practices, and by engaging their academic community to address the need for a diverse curricula. This enabled them to reflect a greater proportion of global knowledge, increasing the levels of trust and belonging across their increasingly diverse academic community. Finally, Dr. Charlotte Wien and Dr. Bertil F Dorch will show how we can equip our modern libraries with a strategy to cope with a world of rapid change. They will introduce The LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® methodology system, intended for strategy development, and will share examples from the University Library of Southern Denmark. This system increases the participation of the entire staff in formulating a successful strategy. They will conclude with presenting their resulting new strategy.
Malay comedy in a late colonial and post-colonial context : the Singapore comedy films of P. Ramlee, 1957-1964
Creators: name: Rohani Hashim
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis is a study of the major Malay language comedy films written and directed in Singapore for the Shaw Brothers company, Malay Film Productions, by P. Ramlee, in the period 1957-1964, a period which is commonly regarded as the "Golden Age of the Malay Film Industry." Ramlee was born in Penang in 1929, and having established himself as a singer, songwriter, popular actor and scriptwriter, began his career as a film director in 1956, shortly before the Malay Federation achieved independence from Britain in 1957. In Malaysia Ramlee is often referred to as Seniman Agong (Exalted Artist), for he is still regarded as one of the most important figures ever to emerge within Malay poopular culture. As well as being a screen idol, he was the first really successful, ethnically Malay, film director, and his films are still screened tody on television, still loved by both children and adults in Malaysia and Singapore. While numerous biographies of Ramlee have been published, there have been few academic studies of his films, and none of his comedies. Although Ramlee directed a total of 36 films, many of them melodramas, this thesis is a study of the major comedies Ramlee made in his Singapore period, before he moved to Kula Lumpur, to work in 1964.

Phonon blockade in a nanomechanical resonator resonantly coupled to a qubit

description: We study phonon statistics in a nanomechanical resonator (NAMR) which is resonantly coupled to a qubit. We find that there are two different mechanisms for phonon blockade in such a resonantly coupled NAMR-qubit system. One is due to the strong anharmonicity of the NAMR-qubit system with large coupling strength; the other one is due to the destructive interference between different paths for two-phonon excitation in the NAMR-qubit system with a moderate coupling strength. We find that the phonon blockade is fragile towards thermal mode occupations and can only be observed for NAMR being at ultracold effective temperature. In order to enlarge the mean phonon number for strong phonon antibunching with a moderate NAMR-qubit coupling strength, we assume that two external driving fields are applied to the NAMR and qubit, respectively. In this case, we find that the phonon blockades under two mechanisms can appear at the same frequency regime by optimizing the strength ratio and phase difference of the two external driving fields.

description: This thesis is a critical examination of John Hick’s interpretation of religion. Hick claims that there is evidence that the major religions are equally effective in bringing about transformation from self-centredness to Reality-centredness. I argue that Hick’s account of salvation is multiply flawed: the behaviour of religious saints is not evidence for the transformation that Hick postulates, religions do not have the goal that Hick claims, and Hick’s theory requires rejection of most of the doctrinal claims of all of the world’s major religion.

description: Worshipped. Ridiculed. Recycled. Books today are subject to all of these treatments. Books are used as home décor, mousepads, bill folders, and sculptures. The book’s form is mimicked by mugs, deck chairs, socks, phone-covers and vases. Books are also pulped and anonymously converted into other, non-book related products. It is no coincidence that such transformations and transmutations abound today, nor that these bookish forms are shared, promoted or decried. Feeling Bookish considers how important embodiment is to the concept of the book, the nature of relationships between people and books, and the status of the book today.
Fully Dynamic Algorithm for Top-$k$ Densest Subgraphs

description: Given a large graph, the densest-subgraph problem asks to find a subgraph with maximum average degree. When considering the top-$k$ version of this problem, a naïve solution is to iteratively find the densest subgraph and remove it in each iteration. However, such a solution is impractical due to high processing cost. The problem is further complicated when dealing with dynamic graphs, since adding or removing an edge requires re-running the algorithm. In this paper, we study the top-$k$ densest-subgraph problem in the sliding-window model and propose an efficient fully-dynamic algorithm. The input of our algorithm consists of an edge stream, and the goal is to find the node-disjoint subgraphs that maximize the sum of their densities. In contrast to existing state-of-the-art solutions that require iterating over the entire graph upon any update, our algorithm profits from the observation that updates only affect a limited region of the graph. Therefore, the top-$k$ densest subgraphs are maintained by only applying local updates. We provide a theoretical analysis of the proposed algorithm and show empirically that the algorithm often generates denser subgraphs than state-of-the-art competitors. Experiments show an improvement in efficiency of up to five orders of magnitude compared to state-of-the-art solutions.

description: This thesis fills the gap in research on girls’ young femininities in Singapore, and investigates the way 29 tween girls, aged 8 to 12 in Singapore want to fashion themselves after adults. Apart from showing how these Singaporean girls have ability to construct, mediate and determine their own life experiences, this thesis examines the deeper implications of the girls’ adultification. It illuminates the values and meanings that are attached to girls’ adult-like dressing in Singapore, and how (adult-like) clothes can play a crucial role for many girls in how they want to be seen and treated by others.

description: The financial crisis showed the importance of measuring, allocating and regulating systemic risk. Recently, the systemic risk measures that can be decomposed into an aggregation function and a scalar measure of risk, received a lot of attention. In this framework, capital allocations are added after aggregation and can represent bailout costs. More recently, a framework has been introduced, where institutions are supplied with capital allocations before aggregation. This yields an interpretation that is particularly useful for regulatory purposes. In each framework, the set of all feasible capital allocations leads to a multivariate risk measure. In this paper, we present dual representations for scalar systemic risk measures as well as for the corresponding multivariate risk measures concerning capital allocations. Our results cover both frameworks: aggregating after allocating and allocating after aggregation. As examples, we consider the aggregation mechanisms of the Eisenberg-Noe model as well as those of the resource allocation and network flow models.

The promise of participation, the practice of power: an ethnographic study of participatory institutions in Santo Andre, Sao Paulo
Creators: name: Albert, Victor Attila
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 School of Sociology and Anthropology, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

This thesis is an ethnographic study of participatory institutions in Santo André, Sao Paulo. Projects of citizen participation implemented by Brazilian local governments have received enormous popular and academic attention since the mid-1990s. In the main, studies of these institutions have been motivated by a normative interest that has sought to reveal how they work and the extent to which they live up to democratic ideals of deliberation and active participation. This thesis takes another approach. It reframes participation as a problem of social power that is inexorably bound up with the everyday forms and functions of municipal government. Inspired by recent studies in political anthropology, it argues that citizen participation is crafted through sets of social and organisational practices that tend to reproduce patterns of social behaviour that can either hinder or support the involvement of the lay public in government policy and investment decision making. The thesis is based on 16 months of participant-observation of the institutions and in-depth interviews with their members and other relevant social and political actors. It comparatively analyses three institutions developed by the same local administration: the participatory budget and two management councils for public policy. The substantive analysis begins with the study of the induction ritual, which provides participants with cognitive and behavioural cues for future behaviour. The three institutions are then comparatively studied. It is noted that each of the institutions draws upon a shared organisational form, that of the public meeting. However, as the participatory institutions address different policy and investment issues, are designed in different ways, have different casts of characters, and may be smaller or larger, they each produce distinct patterns of social behaviour. Drawing on interview data, the thesis analyses how non-institutional roles, and previously acquired ideologies and strategies affect participants’ interpretations of what transpires in the three institutions, and their own conduct within them. The participatory assembly is conceived as a ‘front stage’, from which much messy realpolitik is concealed. Finally, tentative suggestions for change are made based on the foregoing argumentation.

description: Using density functional theory, we investigate systematically mixed MA(Pb:Sn)X3 perovskites, where MA is CH3NH3+, and X is Cl, Br, or I. Ab initio calculations of the orthorhombic, tetragonal, and cubic perovskite phases show that the substitution of lead by tin has a much weaker influence on both structure and cohesive energies than the substitution of the halogen. The thermodynamic stability of the MA(Pb:Sn)X3 mixtures at finite, non-zero temperatures is studied within the Regular Solution Model. We predict that it will be possible to create MA(Pb:Sn)I3 mixtures at any temperature. Our results imply that mixing is unlikely for the low-temperature phase of bromide and chloride compounds, where instead local clusters are more likely to form. We further predict that in the high-temperature cubic phase, Pb and Sn compounds will mix for both MA(Pb:Sn)Br3 and MA(Pb:Sn)Cl3 due to the entropy contribution to the Helmholtz free energy.

The deviation of the photon worldlines from the null geodesics is of the order of the wavelength. Perturbative solutions are also worked out in a more general case. An experimental measurement of this deviation would test the acceleration of our expanding universe.

description: It was originally believed that the Nile Valley Egyptians commenced their permanent occupation of the Dakhleh Oasis, in Egypt’s Western Desert, during the late Old Kingdom. This is being challenged with evidence emerging from recent archaeological excavations, which has necessitated a reassessment of this previously held notion. This thesis explores the initial connections between the indigenous Sheikh Muftah people and the Old Kingdom Egyptians in Dakhleh, with a focus on the lithic material from the site of Mut al-Kharab. This site represents the earliest known in situ evidence of intermixed cultural material of the Sheikh Muftah and Old Kingdom Egyptians in the Western Desert, and is a key site for understanding the nature of early interactions between these two cultural groups.

description: Improved life expectancy has led to a significant increase in the number of people in the high-risk age groups that will develop Alzheimer's disease and other dementia. Efforts are being made to develop treatments that slow the progress of these diseases. However, unless a sufferer is diagnosed in the early stages the treatments cannot give the maximum benefit. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a practical, decision support tool that will enable the earliest possible detection of dementia within the large at-risk population. Current techniques such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) that are used to diagnose and assess neurological disorders require specialist equipment and expert clinicians to interpret results. Such techniques are inappropriate as a method of detecting individual subjects with early dementia within the large at-risk population, because everyone within the at-risk group would need to be tested regularly and this would carry a very high cost. Therefore, it is desirable to develop a low cost method of assessment. This thesis describes research into the use of automated EEG analysis to provide the required testing for dementia. The research begins with a review of previous automated EEG analysis, particularly fractal dimension measures. Initial investigation into the nature of the fractal dimension of the EEG are conducted, including problems encountered when applying fractal measures in affine space. More appropriate fractal methods were evaluated and the most promising of these methods was blind tested using an independent clinical data set. This method was estimated to achieve 67% sensitivity to probable early Alzheimer's disease and 17% sensitivity to vascular dementia (as confirmed by a clinical neurophysiologist from the EEG) with a specificity of 99.9%.

description: Die Trusted Computing Initiative ist ein Zusammenschluss mehrerer Soft- und Hardwarehersteller, die sich zum Ziel gesetzt haben, Computersysteme sicherer zu machen. Es wird allgemein angenommen, dass Hardware schwerer zu manipulieren ist als Software. Vorhandene hardwaregestützte Sicherheitsmechanismen, wie z.B. Smartcards haben sich nicht durchsetzen können, da die Nutzung zu kompliziert und umständlich ist. Dies soll - mithilfe von Trusted Computing - durch die Verlagerung von Sicherheitsmechanismen in eine geschützte Hardwareumgebung, auf möglichst vielen Systemen, erreicht werden. Neue Softwarestandards sollen darauf aufbauend, komplexe und flexible Sicherheitsdienste anbieten können.
Molecular analysis of the genes expressed during feeding site establishment by first instar Lucilia cuprina

The sheep blowfly L. cuprina is a major concern of the Australian sheep industries. First instars of L. cuprina are capable of initiating primary fly strike via initiation of a feeding site on the host‘s skin at around 6 hours post-hatching. The first instars do not feed prior to the establishment of the feeding site, giving rise to the hypothesis that gene expression profiles pre- and post-feeding site establishment may differ. Therefore, the primary aim of this thesis was to investigate and develop antigen candidates against L. cuprina larvae in sheep. - Chapter two constructed subtractive hybridisation cDNA libraries from instars at 4-6 hours development (pre-feeding) and 6-8 hours development (post-feeding). The results of this chapter showed that 40 genes from stage 6-8 hour larvae and 14 genes from stage 4-6 hour larvae were found. - Chapter three described the further validation of the expression changes of selected genes that were up-regulated in L. cuprina larvae in the stage of 6-8 hours of development post-hatch. Using quantitative RT-PCR, the zinc carboxypeptidase showed a reproducible 1.5 fold upregulation between 4-6 hours and 6-8 hours development and was chosen for recombinant protein production in an E. coli expression system. - Chapter four was to take a zinc carboxypeptidase that had first been identified as being differentially regulated by SSH and validated using qPCR, and to generate a recombinant protein with which antibodies could be raised and functionally tested. Specific anti-recombinant zinc carboxypeptidase polyclonal antibodies were used to identify the native zinc carboxypeptidase protein as a zymogen and active enzyme. There were apparent differences in zinc carboxypeptidase protein expression over the 4 to 8 hour period of first instar development and between unfed larvae and fed larvae. In artificial feeding experiments, a decrease in larval weight was observed between controls and anti-recombinant zinc carboxypeptidase groups after 20 (16% difference) and 48 hours (12% difference) of growth in vitro, but differences were not statistically significant. The findings in this thesis have therefore provided new avenues and insight to improve the potential of using a vaccination control against blowfly strike in sheep.
Wicked which and ninja never: relative clauses and negation in modern Australian English conversation

description: This thesis investigates changes in modern Australian English. It draws on the UWA Corpus of English in Australia, survey data, and the Australian reality television show Big Brother, focusing specifically on the negation and relative clauses in conversation. I argue that supposedly “bizarre” grammatical phenomena found here are motivated by social and interactional factors, such as illegitimately holding the floor for another turn with a counterfeit subordinator and morphologically reducing negation due to a cultural preference for agreement.
Realizing and detecting a topological insulator in the AIII symmetry class

description: Topological insulators in the AIII symmetry class lack experimental realization. Moreover, fractionalization in one-dimensional topological insulators has not been yet directly observed. Our work might open possibilities for both challenges. We propose a one-dimensional model realizing the AIII symmetry class which can be realized in current experiments with ultracold atomic gases. We further report on a distinctive property of topological edge modes in the AIII class: in contrast to those in the well studied BDI class, they have non-zero momentum. Exploiting this feature we propose a path for the detection of fractionalization. A fermion added to an AIII system splits into two halves localized at opposite momenta, which can be detected by imaging the momentum distribution.

description: We consider the two-loop massless propagator-type Feynman diagram with an arbitrary (non-integer) index on the central line. We analytically prove the equality of the two well-known results existing in the literature which express this diagram in terms of ${}_3F_2$-hypergeometric functions of argument $-1$ and $1$, respectively. We also derive new representations for this diagram which may be of importance in practical calculations.

QUANTIFYING INHABITATION, FEEDING AND CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN ADJACENT ESTUARINE AND COASTAL REGIONS FOR THREE COMMERCIALLY IMPORTANT MARINE FISHES

description: 1. Estuaries are regarded as valuable nursery habitats for many commercially important marine fishes. Recruitment of fish from estuarine nursery habitats to adult marine populations is considered important for maintenance of fishable stocks, but most evidence for this is qualitative. Effective and timely implementation of estuarine conservation and fisheries management plans may be aided by quantitative assessment of this habitat connectivity. 2. This thesis reports upon the quantification of inhabitation, feeding and connectivity between adjacent estuarine and coastal regions for Common sole (Solea solea), European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and Whiting (Merlangius merlangus). Sample collection was focused in the Thames Estuary and adjacent coastal regions. 3. Two techniques were employed: (i) stable isotope analysis of soft tissues for tracing feeding signals; and (ii) elemental analysis of fish otoliths for tracing patterns of fish movement and residency. 4. Analysis of δ13C, δ15N and δ34S data identified significant differences in isotopic signatures between estuarine and coastal invertebrates, and allowed re-classification to sample sites with 98.8% accuracy. 5. Using invertebrate data as source indicators, stable isotope data classified juvenile fishes to the region in which they fed using stable isotope data. Feeding signals primarily reflected physiological (freshwater tolerance) and functional (mobility) differences between species. 6. Mixing models calculated estuarine contributions to adult muscle tissue isotopic composition. Juvenile bass have an affinity for estuarine feeding, followed by greater plasticity (individual level) in habitat choice as older fish, facilitated by their mobility and tolerance of low salinities. Sole show this plasticity (population level) in estuarine-coastal feeding as juveniles, and then lower plasticity with more consistently marine diets as adults. Whiting exhibited plasticity (individual level) as both juveniles and adults. 7. Chemical composition of juvenile fish otoliths reflected their region of collection (95- 100% accuracy). Misclassifications were indicative of between-habitat movement by whiting. Only juvenile sole showed significant energetic benefits of an estuarine existence. 8. Adult otolith chemistry data supported the stable isotope results. Variable plasticity in the use of estuarine and coastal resources was revealed, depending upon the species. 9. This research provides quantitative insight into resource use and estuarine-coastal habitat connectivity for these three species, as well as valuable guidance for similar future applications of soft-tissue stable isotope analysis and elemental analysis of fish otoliths.
