description: Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation is used as thermal insulation for residential and commercial buildings. It has many advantages over other forms insulation; however, concerns have been raised related to chemical emissions during and after application. The American Chemistry Council's (ACC's) Center for the Polyurethanes Industry (CPI) has gathered previously unpublished industrial hygiene air sampling studies submitted by member companies that were completed during an eight year period from 2007 to 2014. These studies address emissions from medium density closed cell and low density open cell formulations. This paper summarizes the results of personal and area air samples collected during application and post application of SPF to interior building surfaces in both laboratory and field environments. Chemicals of interest included: Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), flame retardants, amine catalysts, blowing agents, and aldehydes. Overall, the results indicate that SPF applicators and workers in close proximity to the application are potentially exposed to MDI in excess of recommended and governmental occupational exposure limits and should use personal protective equipment (PPE) consisting of air supplied respirators and full body protective clothing to reduce exposure. Catalyst emissions can be reduced by using reactive catalysts in SPF formulations, and mechanical ventilation is important in controlling emissions during and after application.

description: Diverse aspects of physical, affective and cognitive health relate to social integration, reflecting engagement in social activities and identification with diverse roles within a social network. However, the mechanisms by which social integration interacts with the brain are unclear. In healthy adults ( N = 155), we tested the links between social integration and measures of white matter microstructure using diffusion tensor imaging. Across the brain, there was a predominantly positive association between a measure of white matter integrity, fractional anisotropy (FA), and social network diversity. This association was particularly strong in a region near the anterior corpus callosum and driven by a negative association with the radial component of the diffusion signal. This callosal region contained projections between bilateral prefrontal cortices, as well as cingulum and corticostriatal pathways. FA within this region was weakly associated with circulating levels of the inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6), but IL-6 did not mediate the social network and FA relationship. Finally, variation in FA indirectly mediated the relationship between social network diversity and intrinsic functional connectivity of medial corticostriatal pathways. These findings suggest that social integration relates to myelin integrity in humans, which may help explain the diverse aspects of health affected by social networks.

description: Abstract

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the tooth supporting structures. The complement system (complement) was first identified in the late nineteenth century in serum as a collection of heat-labile components which supports the development of antibacterial antibodies following immunization. This review article talk about the role of complement in pathogenesis of periodontal disease.
What does it mean to call feminism 'white and middle-class?'

description: This paper argues that there are a number of problems with the often reiterated arguments to the effect that feminism is 'white and middle-class'. They tend to elide the problematic of male domination, focusing instead on hierarchies among women. They ignore the male dominated nature of the anti-racist struggle itself. And they suffer from a lack of clarity about what 'white and middle-class' might mean. The body of the paper is devoted to a detailed investigation of some of these arguments, with the aim of elucidating the problems. It concludes with a recommendation that any assertion that feminism is 'white and middle-class' be carefully and critically evaluated, and not simply reiterated as self-evident.

description: Probiotic microorganisms are increasingly incorporated into food matrices in order to confer proposed health benefits on the consumer. It is important that the health benefits, sensory properties, shelf-life and probiotic gastrointestinal tract (GIT) survival of these products are carefully balanced as they determine functionality and drive consumer acceptance. The strain-specific effects of probiotic species are imperative in this process but carrier matrices may play a pivotal role as well. This study therefore recapitulates the wealth of knowledge on carrier matrices and their interaction with probiotic strains. The most substantiated carrier matrices, factors that influence probiotic functionality and matrix effects on shelf-life, GIT survival and clinical efficacy are reviewed. Results indicate that carrier matrices have a significant impact on the quality of probiotic products. Matrix components, such as proteins, carbohydrates and flavoring agents are shown to alter probiotic efficacy and viability. In vivo studies furthermore revealed strain-dependent matrix effects on the GIT survival of probiotic bacteria. However, only a limited number of studies have specifically addressed the effects of carrier matrices on the aforementioned product-parameters; most studies seem to focus solely on the strain-specific effects of probiotic microorganisms. This hampers the innovation of probiotic products. More human studies, comparing not only different probiotic strains but different carrier matrices as well, are needed to drive the innovation cycle.

description: Dr Ugo Ascoli of the University of Ancona, Italy, spent his recent sabbatical leave in Australia. He spent a few weeks at the SWRC and while visiting presented a detailed and thoughtful seminar. In the seminar he examined the Italian case in comparative quantitative terms and reached the conclusion that at the beginning of the 1980s the Italian welfare system compared well with those in other European countries. He analysed the growth of the welfare system in the post World War II period, touching on the main welfare policies and the prime focus of his analysis was on pensions policy. Furthermore he argued that occupational and fiscal welfare increase the 'non-progressive' or 'regressive' characteristics of the Italian welfare system. From his evidence he demonstrated that Italian welfare measures appeared rooted quite clearly on non-universalist principles. It is clear that in Italy almost all social policy development seems to depend on the way the political system works. Indeed, the mass patronage system ('clientelismo') plays a central role in Italian social welfare. Or Ascoli then focused on the domestic perspectives of social policy in particular, an analysis of the so-called ‘return to the family' and 'privatisation ' proposals, and placed Italian experiences into a broader context. He spoke also of the necessity to rationalise the composition of social expenditure and to radically modify the operation of the taxation system.

description: China’s rapid urbanisation has induced large numbers of rural residents to migrate from their homes in the countryside to urban areas in search of higher wages. As a consequence, it is estimated that more than 60 million children in rural China are left behind and live with relatives, typically their paternal grandparents. These children are called Left Behind Children (LBCs). There are concerns about the potential negative effects of parental migration on the academic performance of the LBCs that could be due to the absence of parental care. However, it might also be that when a child’s parents work away from home, their remittances can increase the household’s income and provide more resources and that this can lead to better academic performance. Hence, the net impact of out-migration on the academic performance of LBCs is unclear. This paper examines changes in academic performance before and after the parents of students out-migrate. We draw on a panel dataset collected by the authors of more than 13,000 students at 130 rural primary schools in ethnic minority areas of rural China. Using difference-in-differences and propensity score matching approaches, our results indicate that parental migration has significant, positive impacts on the academic performance of LBCs (which we measure using standardised English test scores). Heterogeneous analysis using our data demonstrates that the positive impact on LBCs is greater for poorer performing students.

description: Chemical resistant gloves, designed to protect workers from chemical hazards, are made from a variety of polymer materials such as plastic, rubber, and synthetic rubber. One material does not provide protection against all chemicals, thus proper polymer selection is critical. Standardized testing, such as chemical degradation tests, are used to aid in the selection process. The current methods of degradation ratings based on changes in weight or tensile properties can be expensive and data often do not exist for complex chemical mixtures. There are hundreds of thousands of chemical products on the market that do not have chemical resistance data for polymer selection. The method described in this study provides an inexpensive alternative to gravimetric analysis. This method uses surface area change to evaluate degradation of a polymer material. Degradation tests for five polymer types against 50 complex mixtures were conducted using both gravimetric and surface area methods. The percent change data were compared between the two methods. The resulting regression line was y = 0.48x + 0.019, in units of percent, and the Pearson correlation coefficient was r = 0.9537 (p ≤ 0.05), which indicated a strong correlation between percent weight change and percent surface area change. On average, the percent change for surface area was about half that of the weight change. Using this information, an equivalent rating system was developed for determining the chemical degradation of polymer gloves using surface area.

description: We examine the welfare impacts of poor women getting low-skilled jobs and find large positive income, consumption and poverty effects at household and individual levels. However, the women workers, their husbands and oldest daughters reduced their leisure, but the women to a much larger extent. Investigating the transmission mechanisms suggests that the impacts did not only go through income effects, but also through a bargaining effect. Getting the job improved the bargaining power of the wife through several mechanisms, which in turn added substantially to the positive impact on household consumption.

Improving Work Incentives in a Means-tested Welfare System: The 1994 Australian Social Security Reforms
Creators: name: Saunders, Peter
Publisher: name: UNSW Sydney
Year: 1995

description: The dramatic rise in unemployment after 1990, particularly long-term unemployment, prompted the Australian Government to establish an expert committee to advise it on how best to respond to these developments. The release in 1994 of a White Paper on Employment and Growth foreshadowed a range of reforms in a number of areas. The expansion of labour market programs for the long-term unemployed was a central feature of the overall package, but so too were a number of significant reforms of the social security system. A major goal of these reforms is to provide a social security system more consistent with current labour market trends, and one which, whilst still heavily targeted, is designed to provide increased work incentives. This paper explains the nature of the social security reforms and analyses their impact, focusing on their consequences for incentives to increase participation in paid work.

title: Unstructured finite volume methods for two-phase flows with high density ratios
Creators: name: Liu, Jun
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2024

description: The dissertation presents a comprehensive study of advanced computational methods for simulating incompressible two-phase flows, particularly addressing challenges associated with high-density ratios, mass and momentum conservation, and non-orthogonality errors in unstructured Finite Volume methods. The thesis extends the unstructured Level Set / Front Tracking (LENT) method, introducing the \rhoLENT approach to ensure numerical consistency between mass and momentum conservation in the collocated Finite Volume discretization of the single-field two-phase Navier-Stokes equations. This method demonstrates exact numerical stability for two-phase momentum advection across a wide range of density and viscosity ratios, effectively handling challenging fluid pairings such as mercury/air and water/air, and scenarios involving strong interactions between phases.

Further, the study applies the consistency conditions derived for the \rhoLENT method to geometric flux-based Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) methods. It reveals that standard computations of mass fluxes in these methods can disrupt the equivalence between scaled volume fraction equations and mass conservation equations, depending on temporal and convective term discretization schemes. The thesis proposes a dual solution approach: a consistent combination of temporal discretization and interpolation schemes, and an auxiliary mass conservation equation with a geometric calculation of face-centered densities. This approach is validated for extensive density and viscosity ratios, demonstrating its robustness and effectiveness.

Additionally, the dissertation tackles non-orthogonality errors in unstructured Finite Volume methods, which can compromise force-balanced discretization in simulating incompressible two-phase flows. A novel, deterministic residual-based control of non-orthogonality correction is introduced, removing the number of non-orthogonality corrections as a global parameter from the simulation process. This method ensures force balance, particularly for surface tension and gravity forces, and is verified on polyhedral unstructured meshes with different non-orthogonality levels.

Overall, this dissertation provides contributions by developing, verifying and validating advanced methodologies to accurately and efficiently simulating incompressible two-phase flows under complex conditions. These developments have improved applications in industrial multiphase microfluidics, where precise computational fluid dynamics is crucial.

description: Project Completion Reports (PCRs) are used by development institutions to tell a project’s story – achievements, failures, and learning. As such, they should provide evidence of effectiveness in bringing about development. But is this the case? Descriptive content analysis was applied to assess the extent of evidentiary support presented in the International Fund for Agricultural Development's end of project documentation, employing a custom conceptual framework to classify claims about project results found in PCRs based on results level, tone, evidence sources, and themes. Findings show the majority of claims relate to output or outcome level results and are positive, though not explicitly supported by evidence. The lack of evidence-based reporting carries implications to the objective measurement of development effectiveness.

description: Periodic sediment patterns have been observed on Earth in riverbeds and sand and snow deserts, but also in other planetary environments. One of the most ubiquitous patterns, familiar wind or 'impact' ripples, adorns sand beaches and arid regions on Earth. The observation of aeolian impact ripples on Mars the same size as their terrestrial counterparts despite a thinner atmosphere raises questions about their formation. Here we show in a numerical simulation that the emergent wavelength of impact ripples is controlled by the mechanics of grain-bed impacts and not the characteristic trajectories of grains above the bed. We find that the distribution of grain trajectories in transport is essentially scale-free, invoking the proximity of a critical point and precluding a transport-related length scale that selects ripple wavelengths. By contrast, when a grain strikes the bed, the process leading to grain ejections introduces a collective granular length scale that determines the scale of the ripples. We propose a theoretical model that predicts a relatively constant ripple size for most planetary conditions. In addition, our model predicts that for high-density atmospheres, such as on Venus, or for sufficiently large sand grains on Earth, impact ripples propagate upwind. Although wind-tunnel and field experiments are needed to confirm the existence of such 'antiripples', we suggest that our quantitative model of wind-blown sediment transport may be used to deduce geological and environmental conditions on other planets from the sizes and propagation speeds of impact ripples.

description: Second generation biofuel production has been appeared as a sustainable and alternative energy option. The ultimate aim is the development of an industrially feasible and economic conversion process of lignocellulosic biomass into biofuel molecules. Since, cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer and also represented as the photosynthetically fixed form of carbon, the efficient hydrolysis of cellulose is the most important step towards the development of a sustainable biofuel production process. The enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose by suites of hydrolytic enzymes underlines the importance of cellulase enzyme system in whole hydrolysis process. However, the selection of the suitable cellulolytic enzymes with enhanced activities remains a challenge for the biorefinery industry to obtain efficient enzymatic hydrolysis of biomass. The present review focuses on deciphering the novel and effective cellulases from different environmental niches by unculturable metagenomic approaches. Furthermore, a comprehensive functional aspect of cellulases is also presented and evaluated by assessing the structural and catalytic properties as well as sequence identities and expression patterns. This review summarizes the recent development in metagenomics based approaches for identifying and exploring novel cellulases which open new avenues for their successful application in biorefineries.

description: Background: Few risk factors for sporadic vestibular schwannoma (VS) are known. Several studies have proposed an increased risk with occupational noise exposure, whereas no studies have investigated residential traffic noise exposure as a risk factor. The present study investigated if residential traffic noise was associated with vestibular schwannoma in a large, population-based Danish case–control study. Material and methods: We identified 1454 VS cases, age above 30 years at diagnosis, between 1990 and 2007. For each case, we selected two random population controls, matched on sex and year of birth. Road and railway traffic noise at the residence was calculated for all present and historical addresses between 1987 and index date. Associations between traffic noise and risk for VS were estimated using conditional logistic regression, adjusted for education, disposable personal income, cohabitation status, railway noise exposure, municipal population density, and municipal income. Results: A two-year time-weighted mean road traffic noise exposure was associated with an adjusted odds ratio of 0.92 (0.82–1.03) for developing VS, per 10 dB increment. There was no clear trend in categorical analyses. Similarly, linear and categorical analyses of residential railway noise did not suggest an association. We found no interaction with demographics, year of diagnosis, individual and municipal socioeconomic variables, and railway noise exposure. The results did not differ by tumor side, spread or size. Conclusions: The present study does not suggest an association between residential traffic noise and VS.
HIV and migration: Two major uncertainties for people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds
Creators: name: Körner, Henrike
Publisher: name: UNSW Sydney
Year: 2005

description: Objective: To describe the interrelationship between living with HIV, migrating to and resettling in a new country, and the Australian migration system. Method: Key issues from the international literature on HIV-positive ethnic minorities in resource-rich countries are summarised. Findings are presented from semi-structured, in-depth interviews with clients of the Multicultural HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis C Service, and a sexual health clinic, both in Sydney. Results: Three major themes interwoven with migration were identified: HIV diagnosis, access to care and support, and forming social relations. Participants who applied for permanent residency in Australia, rather than off-shore, were usually diagnosed by means of the HIV-test that is part of the health requirement for permanent residents. This jeopardised their prospect of staying in Australia and was at the same time a barrier to returning to their country of birth. It was also a major barrier to accessing health care and support services and a major source of uncertainty. Because of the stigma associated with HIV/AIDS, many had little or no contact with their ethnic communities. At the same time, they found it difficult to form new social relations in the English-speaking mainstream culture. A further problem was feeling torn between Australia and the promise of a better future, and the close emotional relationships with family and friends in the country of birth. Conclusion: New migrants with HIV need to negotiate simultaneously two major life disruptions and two major uncertainties: migration and HIV infection. In the Anglo-Celtic mainstream, language, cultural and financial barriers to health and support services should be removed or minimised. In ethnic communities, HIV-related stigma needs to be addressed to enable new migrants to rebuild social relations with these communities and to rebuild their lives.

description: The reproductive histories of 41 adult bottlenose dolphin females were analysed using photo-identification data collected between 2006 and 2014 in four sub-areas of the eastern Ligurian Sea (northwest Mediterranean). The Rapallo sub-area revealed the highest (highly significant) frequency of encounters (per unit effort) of reproductive females in association with young individuals, therefore emerging as a candidate nursery area in the region. The estimated fertility rate of adult females ranged between 290 and 407 births per 1000 individuals per year, higher than that of other known bottlenose dolphin populations, with a calving interval between 2.45 and 3.5 years. These results will be useful for projecting future trends of this (sub)population.

Labour-Intensive Jobs for Women and Development: Intra-household Welfare Effects and Its Transmission Channels

description: We examine the welfare impacts of poor women getting low-skilled jobs and find large positive income, consumption and poverty effects at household and individual levels. However, the women workers, their husbands and oldest daughters reduced their leisure, but the women to a much larger extent. Investigating the transmission mechanisms suggests that the impacts did not only go through income effects, but also through a bargaining effect. Getting the job improved the bargaining power of the wife through several mechanisms, which in turn added substantially to the positive impact on household consumption.

description: Prediction models for continuous bounded outcomes are often developed by fitting ordinary least-square regression. However, predicted values from such method may lie outside the range of the outcome as it is bounded within a fixed range, with nonlinear expectation due to the ceiling and floor effects of the bounds. Thus, regular regression models such as normal linear or nonlinear models, are inadequate for prediction purposes for bounded response variable and the use of distributions that can model different shapes are essential. Beta regression, apart from modeling different shapes and constraining predictions to an admissible range, has been shown to be superior to alternative methods for data fitting but not for prediction purposes. We take data structures into account and compared various penalized beta regression method on predictive accuracy for bounded outcome variables using optimism corrected measures. Contrary to results obtained under many regression contexts, the classical maximum likelihood method produced good predictive accuracy in terms of R2 and RMSE. The ridge penalized beta regression performed better in terms of g-index, which is a measure of performance of the methods in external data sets. We restricted attention to prespecified models throughout and as such variable selection methods are not evaluated.
Validating Abstract Representations of Spatial Population Data while considering Disclosure Avoidance

description: This paper furthers a research agenda for modeling populations along spatial networks and expands upon an empirical analysis to a full U.S. county (Gaboardi, 2019, Ch. 1,2). Specific foci are the necessity of, and methods for, validating and benchmarking spatial data when conducting social science research with aggregated and ambiguous population representations. In order to promote the validation of publicly-available data, access to highly-restricted census microdata was requested, and granted, in order to determine the levels of accuracy and error associated with a network-based population modeling framework. Primary findings reinforce the utility of a novel network allocation method—populated polygons to networks (pp2n) in terms of accuracy, computational complexity, and real runtime (Gaboardi, 2019, Ch. 2). Also, a pseudo-benchmark dataset’s performance against the true census microdata shows promise in modeling populations along networks.
