description: We prove that the topological recursion reconstructs the WKB expansion of a quantum curve for all spectral curves whose Newton polygons have no interior point (and that are smooth as affine curves). This includes nearly all previously known cases in the literature, and many more; in particular, it includes many quantum curves of order greater than two. We also explore the connection between the choice of ordering in the quantization of the spectral curve and the choice of integration divisor to reconstruct the WKB expansion.

description: A large variety of forming processes is used in industrial manufacturing processes. The numerical simulation of such processes puts high demands on the finite element technology. Usually first order isoparametric elements are preferred because of their robustness and numerical efficiency. Unfortunately, these elements tend to undesired numerical effects like "locking", predominant in situations characterized by plastic incompressibility or pure bending. To overcome this problem, several authors [1, 2, 4] propose finite element formulations based on the concept of reduced integration with hourglass stabilization by applying the "enhanced strain method". The main advantage of the proposed new isoparametric solid-shell formulation with linear ansatz functions is the fact that the undesirable effects of locking are eliminated. The previously described element technique can be applied to analyze specific problems of high speed forming into a cavity: Working with contact surfaces discretized by first order finite elements leads to discontinuities of the normal patch vector and, subsequently, to non-smooth sliding [5]. In quasi-static forming processes these discontinuities will not influence the contact forces noticeably. However, in dynamic investigations the sudden change of contact forces due to the rough surface description leads to a very high acceleration of the contact nodes. To avoid this effect, a smoothing algorithm will be described.

description: In this thesis, I argue that readers’ affective reception of a playscript is guided by the structuring of information in the text. The structure of interest is the information matrix: a summary of shifts to the relative amount and quality of information available to a reader as compared to every character in the story. When reading, we keep track of who-knows-what-when not by a logical stepwise evaluation but by an affective experience manifesting as emotion when narrativised. This thesis comprises a theoretical argument and an original playscript that serves both as a research simulation tool and as a demonstration of outcome.

FABRICATION AND OPTIMIZATION OF EMULSOMES CONTAINING TOPICAL GEL OF KETOCONAZOLE

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The topical route of administration for a therapeutic drug allows for direct contact with the intended area of the skin. Topical dosage forms such as ointments, creams, and gels are often inadequate in delivering medication to the desired spot, especially in higher concentrations. Advanced drug delivery systems such as liposomes, emulsomes, niosomes, dendrimers, and nanoparticles have the ability to specifically target tissues through the skin layer, offering improved therapeutic options for skin cancer. The findings indicate that when the concentration of the solid core changes and the quantity of lipid content increases, there is a corresponding rise in particle size. Consequently, this leads to an increase in both the PDI (polydispersity index) and the zetapotential action. The results of the dependent variables indicated that the KE4 formulation was chosen to optimize the impact of different surfactants at varying concentrations on the penetration rate or drug entrapment efficiency inside the solid lipid core. The gel basis is required to advance the formulation from emulsomes to emulsomal gel. The gel basis, consisting of a mix of guargum and xanthan gum, was chosen as the optimal concentration of gelling agent. The emulsomes were formulated and converted into an emulsomal gel, which was then assessed using several criteria. The physical assessment of the emulsomal gels revealed a bright yellow color, transparency, and a desirable consistency and smooth texture. The pH of the formulation does not disrupt the physiological balance of the skin. The analysis determined that the KEG4 formulation performed the best across all observations. The drug release perfusion profile and release kinetics of formulations KEG1 to KEG4 exhibited values of n> 0.5, indicating that they followed the Fickian diffusion and supercase II transport mechanism.
Feedback-regulated star formation and escape of LyC photons from mini-haloes during reionisation

description: Reionisation in the early Universe is likely driven by dwarf galaxies. Using cosmological radiation-hydrodynamic simulations, we study star formation and the escape of Lyman continuum (LyC) photons from mini-haloes with $M_{\rm halo} \le 10^8\,M_\odot$. Our simulations include a new thermo-turbulent star formation model, non-equilibrium chemistry, and relevant stellar feedback processes (photoionisation by young massive stars, radiation pressure, and mechanical supernova explosions). We find that feedback reduces star formation very efficiently in mini-haloes, resulting in the stellar mass consistent with the slope and normalisation reported in Kimm \& Cen and the empirical stellar mass-to-halo mass relation derived in the local Universe. Because star formation is stochastic and dominated by a few gas clumps, the escape fraction in mini-haloes is generally determined by radiation feedback (heating due to photo-ionisation), rather than supernova explosions. We also find that the photon number-weighted mean escape fraction in mini-haloes is higher ($\sim20$-$40\%$) than that in atomic-cooling haloes, although the instantaneous fraction in individual haloes varies significantly. The escape fraction from Pop III stars is found to be significant ($\ge10\%$) only when the mass is greater than $\sim$100\,\msun. Based on simple analytic calculations, we show that LyC photons from mini-haloes are, despite their high escape fractions, of minor importance for reionisation due to inefficient star formation. We confirm previous claims that stars in atomic-cooling haloes with masses $10^8\,M_\odot\le M_{\rm halo} \le 10^{11}\,M_\odot$ are likely to be the most important source of reionisation.

The ethics and social justice of valuing international student diversity
Creators: name: McLaren, Sarah
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 Education, College of Arts, Social Sciences and Commerce, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

As international student presence has expanded in Australia, it is important to understand the challenges that may emerge for this cohort. Though much has been written about the difficulties faced when studying abroad, the tendency has been to homogenise this populace as one in ‘deficit’ and in need of adapting to the host culture. Moreover, in the current era of marketised education a tension exists between an instrumental valuing of the international student for her or his economic contributions versus intrinsically aligned regard for fundamental human worth. This is reflected in Australia by a range of socioeconomic inequalities and well-being harms which are potentiated by stakeholder focus on protecting the student’s consumer rights to the neglect of ensuring well-being. Based on these well-being concerns, this inquiry explores the valuing diversity notion with respect to its meaning and social justice contribution from 12 international studentparticipant perspectives. Utilising constructivist grounded theory methods, a participantcentred version of Sen’s (1979a) open social justice framework was mobilised for engaging with the data, primarily accessed through in-depth interviews. Six main relational postures emerged which, when present or in lack, conferred well-being implications: making an effort; providing help, support and opportunities; being authentic; being inclusive; instrumental valuing; and duty-bound valuing. Finding valuing diversity’s meaning and social justice potential in the interpersonal relation meant a merging of my research foci and my appending Sen’s framework with Levinas’ (1969) vision of ethics as first philosophy. This Senian-Levinasian scaffold reframed the relational postures as ethical discourses for return to the data and exploratory theory building. Whereas unethical discourses inhibit well-being through homogenising processes, valuing diversity’s social justice potential lies in ethical variants whereby diversity is valorised in the immediacy of the self-Other relation. The participants’ insights suggest implications for international education’s various stakeholders to facilitate international student well-being and social justice.

description: This thesis explores German WWI plays and playwrights and thereby manages to bridge a gap in the academic engagement with German WWI literature. It contains a large number of forgotten plays that had not yet been studied and provides an analysis of the most important discourses established within these texts. By comparing them with well-known plays from the 1920s and 1930s, this thesis manages to demonstrate their significance for the literary and cultural historic representation of WWI in Germany and thereby contributes ground-breaking work enabling further research into a variety of aspects related to German WWI literature.

description: We systematically explore the space of scalar effective field theories (EFTs) consistent with a Lorentz invariant and local S-matrix. To do so we define an EFT classification based on four parameters characterizing 1) the number of derivatives per interaction, 2) the soft properties of amplitudes, 3) the leading valency of the interactions, and 4) the spacetime dimension. Carving out the allowed space of EFTs, we prove that exceptional EFTs like the non-linear sigma model, Dirac-Born-Infeld theory, and the special Galileon lie precisely on the boundary of allowed theory space. Using on-shell momentum shifts and recursion relations, we prove that EFTs with arbitrarily soft behavior are forbidden and EFTs with leading valency much greater than the spacetime dimension cannot have enhanced soft behavior. We then enumerate all single scalar EFTs in d<6 and verify that they correspond to known theories in the literature. Our results suggest that the exceptional theories are the natural EFT analogs of gauge theory and gravity because they are one-parameter theories whose interactions are strictly dictated by properties of the S-matrix.

description: This thesis takes an in-depth look at diasporic Chinese celebrity chefs, and the ways in which they articulate their sense of identity in the cooking television programmes and cookbooks which they have authored and appeared in. I analyse how Australian-Chinese celebrity chefs Kylie Kwong and Poh Ling Yeow embody and negotiate their identities through the food they cook, and the memories and narratives which they share about family, 'home', and 'belonging' to a particular place, country, or ethnic community. This thesis contributes new and significant insights into celebrity chefs by utilising a multidisciplinary approach and theories from postcolonial studies, documentary studies, diaspora studies, and psychoanalysis.

THE REMOVAL AND REMOBILISATION OF HEAVY METALS DURING ESTUARINE MIXING
Creators: name: Ackroyd, David Roger
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1983

description: Elemental analyses have been made of dissolved, suspended particulate and sedimentary Cu, Mn, Zn following axial surveys of the Tamar Estuary. Continuous monitoring of the estuarine master variables was made during each survey. Selective digestion methods were applied to the particulate and sediment samples to determine the detrital and non-detrital fractions. These experiments showed that in general about 80-100% Mn, 60% Zn and 20% Cu were in the non-detrital form. Rank order correlation tests of the sediment results showed that the summer profiles were consistently different to 20 randomly generated profiles of the same data. In contrast the winter distribution showed a greater tendency to randomness which was related to the high energy resuspension processes dominant during that period. This temporal variation in sediment metal content has been interpreted in terms of a seasonal sediment accretion-erosion cycle observed in the estuary. The axial profiles of dissolved Zn and Mn often showed similar trends with a minimum concentration in the freshwater above the salt-wedge and a mid-estuarine maximum. A statistical analysis of the data using F-ratio tables, which also took into account variations in both salinity and'turbidity, showed that the relationship between Zn and Mn was in agreement with the hypothesis that the two elements are responsive to similar sorption processes in estuaries. Copper was rarely correlated with either Mn or Zn under the same reaction conditions, which suggested a different estuarine geochemistry. The dissolved, suspended particulate and sediment data for the three metals were then used to develop a two-box model of the Tamar Estuary. The seasonal transfer of Cu, Mn and Zn was then determined using the model. In general the overall mass transport followed the sequence Mn > Zn > Cu, with large transfers of material from the upper to lower estuary occurring in winter. The model was of use in predicting the fate of metals input from the mineralised catchment area feeding the Tamar Estuary.

description: Direct Memory Access (DMA) increases throughput and efficiency of transfers between I/O devices and the main memory. Therein, it raises a critical security issue: How can the computer architecture enforce that devices only read from and write to the intended I/O buffers? Within the scope of this ongoing research project, we improve existing solutions to this problem by providing a byte-granular memory protection mechanism that is enforced universally for both software and hardware. Additional design goals of the prototype are compatibility with unmodified legacy devices (with full security) and operating systems (without security advantage). We target embedded real-time devices, whose architecture is particularly vulnerable to DMA attacks.
Northcape, our proposed system, uses a capability-based memory protection mechanism with byte granularity. In contrast to existing protection systems, access control is implemented at the bus level in the northbridge. Thereby, the protection applies to the CPU, any accelerators and DMA peripherals in the system and protects system memory and memory-mapped I/O peripherals. Our pointer tagging-based implementation ensures compatibility with legacy 64-bit addressing schemes and an unmodified AXI system bus.

description: Medical practitioners use survival models to explore and understand the relationships between patients' covariates (e.g. clinical and genetic features) and the effectiveness of various treatment options. Standard survival models like the linear Cox proportional hazards model require extensive feature engineering or prior medical knowledge to model treatment interaction at an individual level. While nonlinear survival methods, such as neural networks and survival forests, can inherently model these high-level interaction terms, they have yet to be shown as effective treatment recommender systems. We introduce DeepSurv, a Cox proportional hazards deep neural network and state-of-the-art survival method for modeling interactions between a patient's covariates and treatment effectiveness in order to provide personalized treatment recommendations. We perform a number of experiments training DeepSurv on simulated and real survival data. We demonstrate that DeepSurv performs as well as or better than other state-of-the-art survival models and validate that DeepSurv successfully models increasingly complex relationships between a patient's covariates and their risk of failure. We then show how DeepSurv models the relationship between a patient's features and effectiveness of different treatment options to show how DeepSurv can be used to provide individual treatment recommendations. Finally, we train DeepSurv on real clinical studies to demonstrate how it's personalized treatment recommendations would increase the survival time of a set of patients. The predictive and modeling capabilities of DeepSurv will enable medical researchers to use deep neural networks as a tool in their exploration, understanding, and prediction of the effects of a patient's characteristics on their risk of failure.

Electromagnetic scattering from thin tubular objects and an application in electromagnetic chirality

description: Asymptotic perturbation formulas characterize the effective behavior of waves as the volume of the scattering object tends to zero. In this work, wave propagation is described by time-harmonic Maxwell's equations in free space and the corresponding scattering objects are thin tubular objects that feature a different electric permittivity and a different magnetic permeability than their surrounding medium. For this setting, we derive an asymptotic representation of the scattered electric field away from the thin tubular object and use the corresponding leading order term in a shape identification problem and for designing highly electromagnetically chiral objects. In inverse problems, the leading order term may be used to find the center curve of a thin wire that is supposed to emit a scattered field, which is reasonably close to a given measured field. For the optimal design of electromagnetically chiral structures, the representation formula provides an explicit formula for the leading order term of an asymptotic far field operator expansion. A chirality measure, usually requiring the far field operator, will now map aforementioned leading order term to a value between $0$ and $1$ dependent on the level of electromagnetic chirality of the thin tubular scatterer. This approximation greatly simplifies the challenge to maximize the chirality measure with respect to thin tubular objects. The fact that neither the evaluation of the leading order term nor the calculation of corresponding derivatives require a Maxwell system to be solved implies that the shape optimization scheme is highly efficient compared to shape optimization algorithms that use e.g. domain derivatives. In the visible range, the metallic nanowires obtained by our optimization scheme attain high values of electromagnetic chirality and even exceed those attained by traditional metallic helices.

description: The investigation of a dilute solution of phantom ideal ring polymers and ring polymers with excluded volume interactions (EVI) in a good solvent confined in a slit geometry of two parallel repulsive walls and in a solution of colloidal particles of big size was performed. Taking into account the correspondence between the field theoretical $ϕ^4$ $O(n)$-vector model in the limit $n\to 0$ and the behaviour of long-flexible polymers in a good solvent, the correspondent depletion forces and the forces which exert phantom ideal ring polymers and ring polymers with EVI on the walls were obtained in the framework of the massive field theory approach at fixed space dimensions $d$=3 up to one-loop order. Besides, taking into account the Derjaguin approximation, the depletion forces between big colloidal particle and a wall and in the case of two big colloidal particles were calculated. The obtained results indicate that phantom ideal ring polymers and ring polymers with EVI due to the complexity of chain topology and for entropical reasons demonstrate a completely different behaviour in confined geometries compared with linear polymers.

‘Fleeing the Sword of the Inquisition’: Iberian Refugees in Early Modern Rabbinic Texts
Creators: name: REBECCA WARTELL
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2020
Subjects: History

description: The expulsion of the Jews of Spain and Portugal at the end of the fifteenth century marked the beginning of the Sephardic diaspora. Many refugees sought economic opportunity in Italy and its colonies, but their paths to safety were often blocked by fervent inquisitions and anti-migrant sentiment. This thesis considers the challenges of exile as recounted in the rabbinic texts of the eastern Mediterranean in the early modern period.
The geometrical nature of the cosmological inflation in the framework of the Weyl-Dirac conformal gravity theory

description: The nature of the scalar field responsible for the cosmological inflation, the \qo{inflaton}, is found to be rooted in the most fundamental concept of the Weyl's differential geometry: the parallel displacement of vectors in curved space-time. The Euler-Lagrange theory based on a scalar-tensor Weyl-Dirac Lagrangian leads straightforwardly to the Einstein equation admitting as a source the characteristic energy-momentum tensor of the inflaton field. Within the dynamics of the inflation, e.g. in the slow roll transition from a \qo{false} toward a \qo{true vacuum}, the inflaton's geometry implies a temperature driven symmetry change between a highly symmetrical \qo{Weylan} to a low symmetry \qo{Riemannian} scenario. Since the dynamics of the Weyl curvature scalar, constructed over differentials of the inflaton field, has been found to account for the quantum phenomenology at the microscopic scale, the present work suggests interesting connections between the \qo{micro} and the \qo{macro} aspects of our Universe.

description: Microspheres are ideal targeting drug delivery system with high safety profile. The objective of the present study is to reduce dosing frequency and improve patient compliance by designing and systematically evaluating mucoadhesive microspheres. Various methods have been used to solve the issue associated to barriers, such as exploring alternate methods of delivering substances. Mucoadhesion is a topic of current interest in the design of drug delivery systems. Mucoadhesive micro-spheres exhibit a prolonged residence time at the site of application or absorption and facilitate an intimate contact with the underlying absorption surface and thus contribute to improved and/or better therapeutic performance of drugs. Mucoadhesive microspheres containing itraconazole were able to enhance the bioavailability of the medicine at the oral buccal site for the treatment of oral candidiasis. The IMM5 formulation, which consists of mucoadhesive microspheres containing itraconazole, is considered the most effective formulation. It is composed of a blend of naturally occurring polysaccharides, namely Drug: HPMC: Xanthan gum in a ratio of 1:1:1. This formulation releases over 98.13% of the drug in a controlled and sustained manner for up to 12 hours in the gastric environment.
Quantile-based spectral analysis in an object-oriented framework and a reference implementation in R: The quantspec package

description: Quantile-based approaches to the spectral analysis of time series have recently attracted a lot of attention. Despite a growing literature that contains various estimation proposals, no systematic methods for computing the new estimators are available to date. This paper contains two main contributions. First, an extensible framework for quantilebased spectral analysis of time series is developed and documented using object-oriented models. A comprehensive, open source, reference implementation of this framework, the R package quantspec, was recently contributed to CRAN by the author of this paper. The second contribution of the present paper is to provide a detailed tutorial, with worked examples, to this R package. A reader who is already familiar with quantile-based spectral analysis and whose primary interest is not the design of the quantspec package, but how to use it, can read the tutorial and worked examples (Sections 3 and 4) independently.

description: Self-tracking devices like Fitbits and smartwatches are an increasingly common part of everyday life. However, these devices exist at the intersection of complex links between people, technology, social norms, health and corporations. Using novel mixed-method approaches, this thesis develops an understanding of how people interact, react and create new stories with visual presentations of their daily activities. Digital self-tracking tools are now normalised, and are in the process of altering social relations in both expected and unexpected ways.
Recommendations for the EU roadmap to accelerate the transition towards phasing out animal testing for chemical safety assessments

description: Animal testing has long been a controversial issue in the European Union (EU), with growing public concern over the ethical and scientific limitations of relying on animal models for chemical safety assessments. Despite being seen as a “gold standard” in research and safety assessment, animal studies have limited applicability to human health, and are difficult to replicate due to poor reporting procedures and large variability.

Quantum non-malleability and authentication

description: In encryption, non-malleability is a highly desirable property: it ensures that adversaries cannot manipulate the plaintext by acting on the ciphertext. Ambainis, Bouda and Winter gave a definition of non-malleability for the encryption of quantum data. In this work, we show that this definition is too weak, as it allows adversaries to "inject" plaintexts of their choice into the ciphertext. We give a new definition of quantum non-malleability which resolves this problem. Our definition is expressed in terms of entropic quantities, considers stronger adversaries, and does not assume secrecy. Rather, we prove that quantum non-malleability implies secrecy; this is in stark contrast to the classical setting, where the two properties are completely independent. For unitary schemes, our notion of non-malleability is equivalent to encryption with a two-design (and hence also to the definition of Ambainis et al.). Our techniques also yield new results regarding the closely-related task of quantum authentication. We show that "total authentication" (a notion recently proposed by Garg, Yuen and Zhandry) can be satisfied with two-designs, a significant improvement over the eight-design construction of Garg et al. We also show that, under a mild adaptation of the rejection procedure, both total authentication and our notion of non-malleability yield quantum authentication as defined by Dupuis, Nielsen and Salvail.

The impact of audit quality and managerial ability on financing decisions: US evidence
Creators: name: Puwanenthiren, Premkanth
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 La Trobe Business School, College of Arts, Social Sciences and Commerce, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

This thesis consists of three essays on equity issuance in the US. The essay 1 examines the roles of audit quality in incorporating transferability and standby features in rights offerings. The essay 2 examines the determinants of SEO issuance choice decision and its impact on audit fee and long-term performance. The thesis also examines the role of Managerial ability on the issuance decisions of SEO in essay 3. The essay 1 examines the determinants of transferability and standby status in rights offerings, and the market reaction during subscription period. Using audit quality choice as our core focus, we take a fresh look at the transferability and standby status in rights offerings, and the market reaction during the subscription period in the US market. We find that audit quality plays a major role in influencing the design features of rights offerings. We also find that the subscription period price reaction is positively related to audit quality and negatively related to issue price discount. These results demonstrate the influential role played by the choice of auditor in the design of rights offerings, particularly in mitigating the negative price reaction during the subscription period. The essay 2 examines (a) the determinants of the issuance choice of SEO methods, (b) the impact of the issuance choice decision of SEO on post announcement period audit fee and (c) long term stock returns. We find that audit quality plays a major role in influencing the issuance choice decisions of SEO. We also find that high quality firms (larger and transparent firms with lower risk, higher liquidity and high-quality audit) choose accelerated offering. Firms making accelerated offerings pay lower audit fee and experienced strong announcement return. The essay 3 examines the impact of managerial ability on the issuance choice of SEO. We find that firms with more able managers select accelerated offerings. Overall, our study provides new insights into the impact of managerial ability on issuance choice decision.
