Introduced plants in the high altitude environments of Kosciusko National Park, South-Eastern Australia
Creators: name: Mallen-Cooper, Jane
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1990

description: Until recently, most of the available research on the biology of introduced plant species, their interactions with neighbouring species and their responses to a range of environmental conditions has been carried out in an agricultural context. However, the study of introduced plants in natural areas has received increasing attention in the last decade, including the initiation in mid-1982 of a wide-ranging SCOPE programme (Scientific Committee on Problems of the Environment, a subsidiary body of the International Council of Scientific Unions) on the Ecology of Biological Invasions. The research associated with the SCOPE programme has now been published as a series of regional and global reviews (Groves & Burdon, 1986; Kornberg & Williamson, 1986; Macdonald et al., 1986; Mooney & Drake, 1986: Joenje et al., 1987; Usher et al., 1988; Drake et al., 1989). Particular emphasis in these and other studies has been given to factors contributing to the successful establishment of introduced species, and the susceptibility of different communities and ecosystems to introduced species invasions. Natural and semi-natural areas (those areas which are relatively undisturbed by human activities) in most countries are becoming fewer and smaller, and those that remain are subject to increasing visitor use and exploitation. The current concern about the effects of introduced species in natural areas is related to the growing scientific and public awareness of the value of natural areas and their component species. An introduced species is defined in a natural area context as any species which is not native to the region being studied. There are few ecosystems in the world which have not been affected by introduced plant invasions (Usher, 1988; Heywood, 1989). Most of these invasions can be linked either directly or indirectly with human activities, with invasion of undisturbed ecosystems being extremely uncommon (Johnson, 1982; Fox, 1988). Introduced species invading both natural and modified ecosystems vary greatly in their ability to colonise and persist at a site, in their rates of spread and in their effects on the existing plant communities and ecosystem processes (Forcella, 1985; Christensen & Burrows, 1986; Heywood, 1989). Even among the most successful invaders, such as Chrysanthemoides monilifera in coastal areas of southeastern Australia (Weiss & Noble, 1984a & b); Acacia saligna, A. cyclops and A. longifolia in the fynbos biome of southern Africa (Macdonald & Jarman, 1984; Macdonald et al., 1989) and Hypericum perforatum in temperate grassland and woodland communities (Groves, 1989); there appear to be few attributes common to all species which can be used to accurately predict the invasion potential of individual species (Healy, 1969, 1973; Crawley, 1986, 1989; Newsome & Noble, 1986; Williamson & Brown, 1986; Esler, 1988; Noble, 1989).

description: Recently, perovskite related BaPbO$_3$ has attracted attention due to its hidden topological properties and, moreover, has been used as a thin layer in heterostructures to induce two-dimensional superconductivity. Here we investigate the normal state electronic transport properties of thin films of BaPbO$_3$. Temperature and magnetic field dependent sheet resistances are strongly affected by two-dimensional quantum effects. Our analysis decodes the interplay of spin--orbit coupling, disorder, and electron--electron interaction in this compound. Similar to recently discussed topological materials, we find that weak antilocalization is the dominant protagonist in magnetotransport, whereas electron--electron interactions play a pronounced role in the temperature dependence. A systematic understanding of these quantum effects is essential to allow for an accurate control of properties not only of thin films of BaPbO$_3$, but also of topological heterostructures.

description: We evaluate two-loop b -> s gamma matrix elements of all the four-quark operators containing no derivatives. Contrary to previous calculations, no expansion in the mass ratio mc/mb is performed, and all the possible Dirac and flavor structures are included. Consequently, we are able to provide the last item in the NLO analysis of B -> Xs gamma that has been missing so far, namely the two-loop matrix elements of the QCD-penguin operators. Due to smallness of the Wilson coefficients of those operators in the Standard Model, their effect on the branching ratio is small: a reduction by roughly 1%. We find BR[ B -> Xs gamma]_{E_gamma > 1.6 GeV} = (3.57 +_ 0.30)*10^{-4}.

description: We demonstrate that the energy density of an accelerated fermion gas evaluated within quantum statistical approach in Minkowski space is related to a quantum correction to the vacuum expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor in a space with non-trivial metric and conical singularity. The key element of the derivation is the existence of a novel class of polynomial Sommerfeld integrals. The emerging duality of quantum statistical and geometrical approaches is explicitly checked at temperatures $T$ above or equal to the Unruh temperature $T_U$. Treating the acceleration as an imaginary part of the chemical potential allows for an analytical continuation to temperatures $T

title: Changing stories, Developing identities, Transforming education : A narrative, thematic study of cultural identity in refugee-inclusive English classrooms
Creators: name: Standage, Sarah
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Cultural identity
subject: Refugee students, Southeast Queensland
subject: Queensland English teachers and students

description: This research project explores how English teachers can account for the cultural identities of refugee students and investigates how particular understandings of cultural identity can impact on teaching practice. At its centre, this project is interested in how teachers practise in socially just ways. In Australia and within its major social institutions, debate is continuous over the place and treatment of refugees, however, in terms of education, the schooling of refugee students has not been given enough serious and fine-grained consideration. The empirical study was concerned with how cultural identity was accounted for in the stories told by specific Queensland English teachers and students, and ultimately, how cultural identity mattered in the teaching of refugee-inclusive English classes. The research was conducted at a Southeast Queensland school because it had a high population of refugee students and teachers who were keen to deliberate on their own understandings of cultural identity.
Partisans at the centre of government : the role of ministerial advisers in the Keating government 1991-96
Creators: name: Maley, Maria
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2002

description: This thesis explores the role and significance of ministerial advisers in the Keating government (1991-1996). The role of ministerial advisers has changed substantially since they emerged in Australia in 1972, yet there is surprisingly little research about them. A study of the Keating period is useful as it tracks the evolution of the ministerial office over a critical period in its development: the Hawke-Keating years (1983-1996). In this period the role of adviser grew, developed in new ways and was entrenched as a permanent part of the machinery of government in Austalia. The thesis reports the results of a major qualitative research project undertaken in 1995-6, in which 64 ministers, advisers and public servants were interviewed. The thesis first maps the different elements of the role, focusing on the functions that advisers performed in government. It argues that advisers were very important in government because they could perform key roles for the executive which went beyond their traditional work of political and personal support. These roles were communication, steering policy and coordination. The study distinguishes different types of advisers based on their behaviour, and identifies what were the areas of, and causes of, variation in their work. The thesis then explores several elements of the adviser's role in depth, touching on three key themes: how advisers engaged with departments, advisers' role in policy making, and their contribution to executive coordination. The study reveals that advisers in the Keating years were an important part of the central machinery of government, located at the heart of decision making and policy making in Australia. Their central location, and the major development in their role, made them significant players in the structure and practice of government at this time.
Quasibosons

description: The similarity of the commutation relations for bosons and quasibosons (fermion pairs) suggests the possibility that all integral spin particles presently considered to be bosons could be quasibosons. The boson commutation relations for integral spin particles could be just an approximation to the quasiboson commutation relations that contain an extra term. Although the commutation relation for quasibosons are slightly more complex, it is simpler picture of matter in that only fermions and composite particles formed of fermions exist. Mesons are usually referred to as bosons, but they must be quasibosons since their internal structure is fermion (quark) pairs. The photon is usually considered to be an elementary boson, but as shown here, existing experiments do not rule out the possibility that it is also a quasiboson. We consider how the quasiboson, composite nature of such a photon might manifest itself.

Improving Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Insertion Competency of Home Health Nurses
Creators: name: Danggoec, Hazel Mary Ladiong
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: Purpose/Objectives: To develop, implement, and evaluate a peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) competency training program for home health infusion registered nurses (RNs). Background: As PIVC insertion knowledge and skill remains fundamental for RNs, home health nurses are frequently required to establish intravenous access. According to the 2013 Infusion Nurses Society, up to 57% of nursing students receive PIVC training, while many current staff RNs report a lack of PIVC education during their clinical setting orientation (Glover et al., 2017), therefore leading to lower levels of PIVC competence. Methodology: Establishing a policy requiring all RNs entering the home health organization to undergo a PIVC training program, and their PIVC knowledge and skills competence evaluated. The evidence-based practice (EBP) PIVC training program included: (a) online video and in-person/hands-on training, (b) a pre- and post-implementation knowledge questionnaire, (c) a PIVC skills checklist, and (d) evaluation of the training program. All RNs employed during the project implementation were invited to participate. Results: Pre- and Post-PIVC Insertion Knowledge Assessment scores were explored. There was a total count change score of 1 and an average count change score of 0.33. RNs were assessed using a PIVC Insertion Skills Checklist. Three of the 28 checklist items were completed by less than 100% of the RNs. Lastly, the RNs were given two insertion attempts to be assessed, and with the overall second attempt scores, there was a total change score of 32% and an average percentage change score of 10.67.

description: We explore the effectiveness of deep learning convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for estimating strong gravitational lens mass model parameters. We have investigated a number of practicalities faced when modelling real image data, such as how network performance depends on the inclusion of lens galaxy light, the addition of colour information and varying signal-to-noise. Our CNN was trained and tested with strong galaxy-galaxy lens images simulated to match the imaging characteristics of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) and Euclid. For images including lens galaxy light, the CNN can recover the lens model parameters with an acceptable accuracy, although a 34 per cent average improvement in accuracy is obtained when lens light is removed. However, the inclusion of colour information can largely compensate for the drop in accuracy resulting from the presence of lens light. While our findings show similar accuracies for single epoch Euclid VIS and LSST r-band datasets, we find a 24 per cent increase in accuracy by adding g- and i-band images to the LSST r-band without lens light and a 20 per cent increase with lens light. The best network performance is obtained when it is trained and tested on images where lens light exactly follows the mass, but when orientation and ellipticity of the light is allowed to differ from those of the mass, the network performs most consistently when trained with a moderate amount of scatter in the difference between the mass and light profiles.

description: Perturbative coefficients for Wilson loops and the static-quark self-energy are extracted from Monte Carlo simulations at weak coupling. The lattice volumes and couplings are chosen to ensure that the lattice momenta are all perturbative. Twisted boundary conditions are used to eliminate the effects of lattice zero modes and to suppress nonperturbative finite-volume effects due to Z(3) phases. Simulations of the Wilson gluon action are done with both periodic and twisted boundary conditions, and over a wide range of lattice volumes (from $3^4$ to $16^4$) and couplings (from $β\approx 9$ to $β\approx 60$). A high precision comparison is made between the simulation data and results from finite-volume lattice perturbation theory. The Monte Carlo results are shown to be in excellent agreement with perturbation theory through second order. New results for third-order coefficients for a number of Wilson loops and the static-quark self-energy are reported.

description: We establish N=(1/8,1) supersymmetric Yang-Mills vector multiplet with generalized self-duality in Euclidian eight-dimensions with the original full SO(8) Lorentz covariance reduced to SO(7). The key ingredient is the usage of octonion structure constants made compatible with SO(7) covariance and chirality in 8D. By a simple dimensional reduction together with extra constraints, we derive N=1/8+7/8 supersymmetric self-dual vector multiplet in 7D with the full SO(7) Lorentz covariance reduced to G_2. We find that extra constraints needed on fields and supersymmetry parameter are not obtained from a simple dimensional reduction from 8D. We conjecture that other self-dual supersymmetric theories in lower dimensions D =6 and 4 with respective reduced global Lorentz covariances such as SU(3) \subset SO(6) and SU(2) \subset SO(4) can be obtained in a similar fashion.

description: It is shown that a chiral quark model of the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio type can be used to describe "soft"-momenta parts of the amplitudes with large momentum transfer. As a sample, the processes γ^* --> γ(π,η,η') where one of the photons, γ^*, has large space-like virtuality is investigated. The γ^* --> γ(π,η,η')$ transition form factors are calculated for a wide region of transferred momenta. The results are consistent with the calculations performed in the instanton-induced chiral quark model and agree with experimental data. The distribution amplitudes of pseudoscalar mesons are derived.

description: We discuss the properties of pure multipole beams with well-defined handedness or helicity, with the beam field a simultaneous eigenvector of the squared total angular momentum and its projection along the propagation axis. Under the condition of hemispherical illumination, we show that the only possible propagating multipole beams are `sectoral' multipoles. The sectoral dipole beam is shown to be equivalent to the non-singular time-reversed field of an electric and a magnetic point dipole Huygens' source located at the beam focus. Higher order multipolar beams are vortex beams vanishing on the propagation axis. The simple analytical expressions of the electric field of sectoral multipole beams, exact solutions of Maxwell's equations, and the peculiar behaviour of the Poynting vector and spin and orbital angular momenta in the focal volume could help to understand and model light-matter interactions under strongly focused beams.

 Paederus pseudobaudii ALEKSANDROV, 1934: 151; nov.syn.
 C o m m e n t: According to WILLERS (2001b), the depository and identity of the type material of P. pseudobaudii from "Hengtaohotze" (Heilongjiang) is uncertain, but there is little doubt that it is conspecific with P. gottschei, also because ALEKSANDROV (1934) himself synonymized the species with P. chinensis. The material from Heilongjiang studied by WILLERS (2001b), some of which had previously been identified as P. pseudobaudii, all belonged to P. gottschei.
 Paederus gottschei is the most widespread - and probably also the most common - representative of Harpopaederus in the East Palaearctic region, its distribution ranging from the Russian Far East across Northeast China to North and South Korea. For additional records see LI & ZHOU (2007). So far, all the material of Harpopaederus from this region has proved to belong to P. gottschei, making it seem most unlikely that P. pseudobaudii represents a distinct species. In consequence, P. pseudobaudii is formally placed in synonymy with P. gottschei. The distribution of P. gottschei in China is illustrated in Map 1.

description: Quantization is still a central problem of modern physics. One example of an unsolved problem is the quantization of Nambu mechanics. After a brief comment on the role of Harrison cohomology, this review concentrates on the central problem of quantization of QCD and, more generally, quark confinement seen as a problem of quantization. Several suggestions are made, some of them rather extravagant.

Improving Nurse Management of the Second Stage of Labor
Creators: name: Dent, Mimi
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: Background: There is global concern that cesarean sections (CS) are overused because of the rapid increase in CS rates without corresponding decreases in maternal or neonatal morbidity and mortality (Caughey et al., 2014). In 1996, national CS rates were 20.7%, peaking at 32% in 2015 (Caughey, 2017). The Healthy People 2020 goal of a 23.9% CS rate for nulliparous term singleton term (NTSV) women was identified as a national benchmark and primary strategy to safely decrease CS rates (Bell et al., 2017; Vadnais et al., 2017). Methodology: The Iowa Model Revised: Evidence-Based Practice to Promote Excellence in Health Care was the framework used. Guidelines to support second stage nursing management were created by integrating unit policies with research evidence. Eighteen registered nurses (RNs) attended an instructional course (IC), the intervention, to improve nurse management of second stage of labor. Results of pre- and post-knowledge tests and pre- and post-intervention labor variables were compared. Results: RN knowledge increased, evidenced by mean pre- and posttest scores of 6.17 and 9.06 respectively, t (17) = -6.43, p < .001. Second stage labor outcomes also improved with more position changes and percentages of normal spontaneous vaginal deliveries (NSVD). Eightyseven percent (n = 28/32) of patients cared for by IC RNs delivered by NSVD compared to 81.8% (n =18/22) cared for by non-IC RNs. Recommendations: Based on the positive response to the IC and improved clinical outcomes, regularly scheduled, interactive, evidence-based nursing education focused on strategies to improve second stage management should be provided.

description: Much work has studied effective interactions between micron-sized particles carrying linkers forming reversible, inter-particle linkages. These studies allowed understanding the equilibrium properties of colloids interacting through ligand-receptor interactions. Nevertheless, understanding the kinetics of multivalent interactions remains an open problem. Here, we study how molecular details of the linkers, such as the reaction rates at which inter-particle linkages form/break, affect the relative dynamics of pairs of cross-linked colloids. Using a simulation method tracking single binding/unbinding events between complementary linkers, we rationalize recent experiments and prove that particles' interfaces can move across each other while being cross-linked. We clarify how, starting from diffusing colloids, the dynamics become arrested when increasing the number of inter-particle linkages or decreasing the reaction rates. Before getting arrested, particles diffuse through rolling motion. The ability to detect rolling motion will be useful to shed new light on host-pathogen interactions.

High Temperature Asymptotics in Terms of Heat Kernel Coefficients: Boundary Conditions with Spherical and Cylindrical Symmetries

description: The high temperature asymptotics of the Helmholtz free energy of electromagnetic field subjected to boundary conditions with spherical and cylindrical symmetries are constructed by making use of a general expansion in terms of heat kernel coefficients and the related determinant. For this, some new heat kernel coefficients and determinants had to be calculated for the boundary conditions under consideration. The obtained results reproduce all the asymptotics derived by other methods in the problems at hand and involve a few new terms in the high temperature expansions. An obvious merit of this approach is its universality and applicability to any boundary value problem correctly formulated.

description: Constraining the dark energy equation of state, $w_x(z)$, is one of the main issues of current and future cosmological surveys. In practice, this requires making assumptions about the evolution of $w_x$ with redshift $z$, which can be manifested in a choice of a specific parametric form where the number of cosmological parameters play an important role in the observed cosmic acceleration. Since any attempt to constrain the EoS requires fixing some prior in one form or the other, settling a method to constrain cosmological parameters is of great importance. In this paper, we provide a straightforward approach to show how cosmological tests can be improved via a parametric methodology based on cosmography. Using Supernovae Type IA samplers we show how by performing a statistical analysis of a specific dark energy parameterisation can give directly the cosmographic parameters values.

An Axiomatic Approach to Liveness for Differential Equations

description: This paper presents an approach for deductive liveness verification for ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with differential dynamic logic. Numerous subtleties complicate the generalization of well-known discrete liveness verification techniques, such as loop variants, to the continuous setting. For example, ODE solutions may blow up in finite time or their progress towards the goal may converge to zero. Our approach handles these subtleties by successively refining ODE liveness properties using ODE invariance properties which have a well-understood deductive proof theory. This approach is widely applicable: we survey several liveness arguments in the literature and derive them all as special instances of our axiomatic refinement approach. We also correct several soundness errors in the surveyed arguments, which further highlights the subtlety of ODE liveness reasoning and the utility of our deductive approach. The library of common refinement steps identified through our approach enables both the sound development and justification of new ODE liveness proof rules from our axioms.

Geometric Scaling above the Saturation Scale

description: We show that the evolution equations in QCD predict geometric scaling for quark and gluon distribution functions in a large kinematical window, which extends above the saturation scale up to momenta $Q^2$ of order $100 {\rm GeV}^2$. For $Q^2 < Q^2_s$, with $Q_s$ the saturation momentum, this is the scaling predicted by the Colour Glass Condensate and by phenomenological saturation models. For $1 \simle \ln(Q^2/Q_s^2) \ll \ln(Q_s^2/Λ^2_{\rm QCD})$, we show that the solution to the BFKL equation shows approximate scaling, with the scale set by $Q_s$. At larger $Q^2$, this solution does not scale any longer. We argue that for the intermediate values of $Q^2$ where we find scaling, the BFKL rather than the double logarithmic approximation to the DGLAP equation properly describes the dynamics. We consider both fixed and running couplings, with the scale for running set by the saturation momentum. The anomalous dimension which characterizes the approach of the gluon distribution function towards saturation is found to be close to, but lower than, one half.

description: This paper introduces SmartEDA, which is an R package for performing Exploratory data analysis (EDA). EDA is generally the first step that one needs to perform before developing any machine learning or statistical models. The goal of EDA is to help someone perform the initial investigation to know more about the data via descriptive statistics and visualizations. In other words, the objective of EDA is to summarize and explore the data. The need for EDA became one of the factors that led to the development of various statistical computing packages over the years including the R programming language that is a very popular and currently the most widely used software for statistical computing. However, EDA is a very tedious task, requires some manual effort and some of the open source packages available in R are not just upto the mark. In this paper, we propose a new open source package i.e. SmartEDA for R to address the need for automation of exploratory data analysis. We discuss the various features of SmartEDA and illustrate some of its applications for generating actionable insights using a couple of real-world datasets. We also perform a comparative study of SmartEDA with respect to other packages available for exploratory data analysis in the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN).

description: We show that M-theory on spaces with irreducible holonomy represent Type IIA backgrounds in which a collection of D6-branes wrap a supersymmetric cycle in a manifold with a holonomy group different from the one appearing in the M-theory description. For example, we show that D6-branes wrapping a supersymmetric four-cycle on a manifold with G_2 holonomy is described in eleven dimensions by M-theory on a space with Spin(7) holonomy. Examples of such Type IIA backgrounds which lift to M-theory on spaces with SU(3), G_2, SU(4) and Spin(7) holonomy are considered. The M-theory geometry can then be used to compute exact quantities of the gauge theory on the corresponding D-brane configuration.
