Cognitive predictors of treatment outcomes in individuals with methamphetamine use disorder
Creators: name: ADAM JAMES RUBENIS
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: 170205 Neurocognitive Patterns and Neural Networks
subject: FOS: Psychology

description: Treatment outcomes are consistently poor for individuals recovering from methamphetamine dependence and may be related to cognitive deficits documented in this population. This thesis examines how cognitive functioning at treatment entry predicts a range of outcomes six weeks later. Specifically, poorer working memory predicts higher rates of methamphetamine use, higher impulsivity predicts less improvement in social and psychological functioning, and poorer sustained attention predicts less improvement in treatment motivation. Rehabilitating these cognitive deficits early in treatment may improve outcomes in this population and reduce the social and economic burden associated with methamphetamine use.
An Examination of Anxiety among Older Adults in Residential Care

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2018
Subjects: Clinical Psychology

description: Despite being one of the most common psychiatric disorders in older adults, anxiety has received very little attention within the growing residential aged care population. This thesis addresses this significant gap in our knowledge by examining the prevalence and correlates of anxiety disorders within this setting, as well as determining the current recognition rates and management strategies used by aged care staff and GP's. Moreover, to help improve the detection of anxiety among aged care residents, this thesis also identifies an accurate and reliable anxiety measure that can be easily used to screen residents with the hope of improving timely diagnosis and treatment.
A Reverse-Shock Model for the Early Afterglow of GRB 050525A

description: The prompt localization of gamma-ray burst (GRB) 050525A by {\em Swift} allowed the rapid follow-up of the afterglow. The observations revealed that the optical afterglow had a major rebrightening starting at $\sim 0.01$ days and ending at $\sim 0.03$ days, which was followed by an initial power-law decay. Here we show that this early emission feature can be interpreted as the reverse shock emission superposed by the forward shock emission in an interstellar medium environment. By fitting the observed data, we further constrain some parameters of the standard fireball-shock model: the initial Lorentz factor of the ejecta $γ_0>120$, the magnetic energy fraction $ε_B>4\times10^{-6}$, and the medium density $n<2 {\rm cm^{-3}}$. These limits are consistent with those from the other very-early optical afterglows observed so far. In principle, a wind environment for GRB 050525A is disfavored.

description: The energetic properties of electron transport in mesoscopic and nanoscale conductors is of large current interest. Here we theoretically investigate the possibility of probing fluctuations of charge and heat currents as well as their mixed correlations via fluctuations of the temperature and electrochemical potential of a probe coupled to the conductor. Our particular interest is devoted to the charge and energy noise stemming from time-dependently driven nanoelectronic systems designed for the controlled emission of single electrons, even though our setup is appropriate for more general AC driving schemes. We employ a Boltzmann-Langevin approach in order to relate the frequency-dependent electrochemical potential and temperature fluctuations in the probe to the bare charge and energy current fluctuations emitted from the electron source. We apply our findings to the prominent example of an on-demand single-electron source, realized by a driven mesoscopic capacitor in the quantum Hall regime. We show that neither the background fluctuations of the probe in the absence of the working source, nor the fluctuations induced by the probe hinder the access to the sought-for direct source noise for a large range of parameters.

description: Two new hyperbranched bispyridylamine ligands and multinuclear chromium complexes were synthesized with 1.0 G hyperbranched macromolecules, 2-chloropyridine, 2-chloro-4-methylpyridine and CrCl3(THF)3 as raw materials. The structures of hyperbranched ligands and chromium complexes were characterized by UV, FT-IR, 1H NMR, ESI-MS and elemental analysis. These hyperbranched chromium complexes were evaluated as catalyst precursors by using MAO as activator in the oligomerization of ethylene. Effects of reaction temperature, reaction pressure, Al/Cr molar ratio, concentration of catalyst, solvent and the structure of catalysts on the catalytic activity and product selectivity were investigated. The oligomerization results showed that with increase of reaction temperature, reaction pressure and Al/Cr molar ratio, the catalytic activity increased and then decreased; the catalytic activity continuously decreased as the amount of catalyst increased. The products were mainly based on C6 and C8. Under optimized conditions, the catalytic system of hyperbranched NNN/Cr(III)/MAO led to activity of 1.26 × 105 g/(mol·Cr·h) and 63.34% selectivity for C6 and C8.

description: Numerical simulations of atmospheric turbulence and AO wavefront correction are performed to investigate the timescale for fringe motion in optical interferometers with spatial filters. These simulations focus especially on partial AO correction, where only a finite number of Zernike modes are compensated. The fringe motion is found to depend strongly on both the aperture diameter and the level of AO correction used. In all of the simulations the coherence timescale for interference fringes is found to decrease dramatically when the Strehl ratio provided by the AO correction is

Developing a scholar-practitioner identity: Peer-led communities of research in higher education preparation programs. Journal for the Study of Postsecondary and Tertiary Education, 2, 95-113. doi: 10.28945/3783
description: Aim/Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore how research skills and communities can be promoted in student affairs and/or higher education graduate preparation programs through a peer-led, team-based model. Background: Numerous scholars emphasized a lack of empirical research being conducted by student affairs professionals, even though integration of scholarship with practice remains of critical importance to field of higher education. Methodology: Though a descriptive case study of a graduate research course, we engage both quantitative and qualitative data points in a convergent parallel mixed methods design. Contribution: This study provides an important contribution in understanding how graduate programs may better prepare students to engage within a spectrum of scholar-practitioner identity. Findings: Findings suggest that while participants see value in a scholar-practitioner identity and its impact on their future goals, there is often a discrepancy between the perceived feasibility of embodying the role in actual student affairs practice as well as variations across master’s and doctoral student levels. Recommendations for Practitioners: Recommendations for practice include working to integrate scholarship in professional positions and promoting greater collaboration between graduate coursework and professional supervisors. Recommendation for Researchers: Recommendations for researchers include continuing to examine how communities of practice develop across the levels of graduate socialization. Impact on Society: Understanding how individuals engage in scholarship in their fields carries interdisciplinary implications for merging research into professional roles. Future Research: A key area for future research is longitudinal inquiry into how emerging professionals in higher education/student affairs negotiate the scholar-practitioner spectrum across career development.

description: Supernovae Type-Ia (SNeIa) play a significant role in exploring the history of the expansion of the Universe, since they are the best-known standard candles with which we can accurately measure the distance to the objects. Finding large samples of SNeIa and investigating their detailed characteristics have become an important issue in cosmology and astronomy. Existing methods relied on a photometric approach that first measures the luminance of supernova candidates precisely and then fits the results to a parametric function of temporal changes in luminance. However, it inevitably requires multi-epoch observations and complex luminance measurements. In this work, we present a novel method for classifying SNeIa simply from single-epoch observation images without any complex measurements, by effectively integrating the state-of-the-art computer vision methodology into the standard photometric approach. Our method first builds a convolutional neural network for estimating the luminance of supernovae from telescope images, and then constructs another neural network for the classification, where the estimated luminance and observation dates are used as features for classification. Both of the neural networks are integrated into a single deep neural network to classify SNeIa directly from observation images. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method and reveal classification performance comparable to existing photometric methods with multi-epoch observations.

description: The present study aimed to assess antioxidant activities of three organs (flower, fruit, and stem) extracts of Tunisian Ferula (F.) communis. Various experimental models were used to characterize the antioxidant activities in vitro as well as on ROS-induced fluorescence using dichlorofluorescein technique from phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-stimulated human myeloid cell line HL-60. Results showed that the antioxidant activities varied considerably with organs. Thus, flower exhibited higher DPPH-scavenging ability, reducing and chelating power than stem and fruit. Also, antioxidant capacities using ORAC method and a cell-based assay showed that fruit and stem exhibited statistically similar antioxidant activities. Moreover, F. communis contains high amounts of flavonoids with various health benefits attributed to their antioxidant potential. Likewise, to obtain biologically relevant information, the antioxidant activities of the extracts were evaluated on cellular models implicating the antioxidant activities; this test generally showed that F. communis flower extracts have the highest antioxidant capacities correlated to the highest total phenolic content. The identification of phenolic compounds in F. communis extracts using RP-HPLC revealed that resorcinol, ferulic, and syringic acids together with coumarin were the major molecules.

description: Liquid-phase-exfoliation is a technique capable of producing large quantities of two-dimensional material in suspension. Despite many efforts in the optimization of the exfoliation process itself not much has been done towards the integration of liquid-phase-exfoliated materials in working solid-state devices. In this article, we use dielectrophoresis to direct the assembly of liquid-phase-exfoliated TiS3 nanoribbons between two gold electrodes to produce photodetectors working in the visible. Through electrical and optical measurements we characterize the responsivity of the device and we find values as large as 3.8 mA/W, which improve of more than one order of magnitude on the state-of-the-art for devices based on liquid-phase-exfoliated two-dimensional materials assembled by drop-casting or ink-jet methods.

description: Tracking the thermal evolution of plasmas, characterized by an n-distribution, using numerical simulations, requires the determination of the emission spectra and of the radiative losses due to free-free emission from the correspond- ing temperature averaged and total Gaunt factors. Detailed calculations of the latter are presented, associated to n-distributed electrons with the parameter n ranging from 1 (corresponding to the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribu- tion) to 100. The temperature averaged and total Gaunt factors, with decreasing n tend to those obtained with the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. Radiative losses due to free-free emission in a plasma evolving under collisional ionization equilibrium conditions and composed by H, He, C, N, O, Ne, Mg, Si, S, and Fe ions, are presented. These losses decrease with the decrease in the parameter n reaching a minimum when n = 1, and, thus converging to the losses of a thermal plasma. Tables of the thermal averaged and total Gaunt factors calculated for n distributions and a wide range electron and photon energies are presented.

We utilize this toolbox for quantum metrology applications, for instance weak force measurements and precise phase estimation. We show in both these cases that a sensitivity at the Heisenberg limit is achievable.

description: In this work we introduce a variant of the Yule-Simon model for preferential growth by incorporating a finite kernel to model the effects of bounded memory. We characterize the properties of the model combining analytical arguments with extensive numerical simulations. In particular, we analyze the lifetime and popularity distributions by mapping the model dynamics to corresponding Markov chains and branching processes, respectively. These distributions follow power-laws with well defined exponents that are within the range of the empirical data reported in ecologies. Interestingly, by varying the innovation rate, this simple out-of-equilibrium model exhibits many of the characteristics of a continuous phase transition and, around the critical point, it generates time series with power-law popularity, lifetime and inter-event time distributions, and non-trivial temporal correlations, such as a bursty dynamics in analogy with the activity of solar flares. Our results suggest that an appropriate balance between innovation and oblivion rates could provide an explanatory framework for many of the properties commonly observed in many complex systems.

description: In this study, we investigated on suppression of metal ions elution on dental orthodontic wire. To suppress metal ion elution from stainless wire, two types of surface chemical modifications were carried out. The obtained wire were immersed into several aqueous solution then the eluted ions (Cr and Ni, which are well known to cause a metal allergy) were determined using coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). By both electropolymerization and self-assembly monolayer formation, the ion elution was effectively reduced. These results suggested that these surface modifications succeeded to suppress the metal ions.

description: A recently developed Standard-Model Extension (SME) formalism for neutrino oscillations that includes Lorentz and CPT violation is used to analyze the sidereal time variation of the neutrino event excess measured by the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector (LSND) experiment. The LSND experiment, performed at Los Alamos National Laboratory, observed an excess, consistent with neutrino oscillations, of ${\barν}_e$ in a beam of ${\barν}_μ$. It is determined that the LSND oscillation signal is consistent with no sidereal variation. However, there are several combinations of SME coefficients that describe the LSND data; both with and without sidereal variations. The scale of Lorentz and CPT violation extracted from the LSND data is of order $10^{-19}$ GeV for the SME coefficients $a_L$ and $E \times c_L$. This solution for Lorentz and CPT violating neutrino oscillations may be tested by other short baseline neutrino oscillation experiments, such as the MiniBooNE experiment.

Year: 2019

description: ReShare is the self-deposit data repository of the UK Data Service, holding over 1500 collections of data, spanning a wide disciplinary range of research assets. Now in its 5th year, ReShare’s metadata profile is based on the DDI schema. It has become the primary publishing system for social science research data in the UK and over time has sought to continuously improve its publishing process. Areas of focus have been on enabling an easy-to-use interface and an intuitive workflow, and adding useful metrics for us as data publishers. The tool itself has also been an excellent opportunity to raise awareness of creating high quality sharable data, as well as helping in our mission to support and train researchers in good data management practices. This presentation will look at ReShare, as a mature implementation of the DDI Schema (DDI2.5). It will cover its main features, such as various CESSDA controlled vocabularies, provide an overview of data collections processed to date, and possible future improvements.

description: Recently, many superflares on solar-type stars have been discovered as white-light flares (WLFs). The statistical study found a correlation between their energies ($E$) and durations ($τ$): $τ\propto E^{0.39}$ (Maehara et al. 2017 $EP\& S$, 67, 59), similar to those of solar hard/soft X-ray flares: $τ\propto E^{0.2-0.33}$. This indicates a universal mechanism of energy release on solar and stellar flares, i.e., magnetic reconnection. We here carried out a statistical research on 50 solar WLFs observed with \textit{SDO}/HMI and examined the correlation between the energies and durations. As a result, the $E$--$τ$ relation on solar WLFs ($τ\propto E^{0.38}$) is quite similar to that on stellar superflares ($τ\propto E^{0.39}$). However, the durations of stellar superflares are one order of magnitude shorter than those expected from solar WLFs. We present the following two interpretations for the discrepancy. (1) In solar flares, the cooling timescale of WLFs may be longer than the reconnection one, and the decay time of solar WLFs can be elongated by the cooling effect. (2) The distribution can be understood by applying a scaling law ($τ\propto E^{1/3}B^{-5/3}$) derived from the magnetic reconnection theory. In this case, the observed superflares are expected to have 2-4 times stronger magnetic field strength than solar flares.

Infrared Emission from Intracluster Dust Grains and Constraints on Dust Properties

Year: 2005

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: For 117 clusters of galaxies, we explore the detectability of intracluster dust grains by current and future infrared facilities, taking into account both collisional heating and sputtering of grains by ambient plasma. If the dust grains are injected into the intergalactic space with the amount and size comparable to the Galactic values, the dust-to-gas ratio is typically $10^{-6}$ and the mean dust temperature is $\sim 30$ K near the cluster center. The predicted infrared intensities lie marginally above the detection thresholds for Spitzer Space Telescope, ASTRO-F, Herschel and SPICA missions. For some nearby clusters such as Perseus, A3571, A2319, A3112 and A2204, good detections of intracluster dust signal are expected in the 70 $μ$m band. Given rather tight constraints on the dust temperature from observed electron density and temperature, the dust mass can be inferred directly from the infrared observations. Further constraints on the size distribution will be obtained once multi-band data are available. They will definitely provide a powerful probe of the dust injection processes and dust-gas interactions in the intergalactic space.

Improving metadata quality of the European Social Survey using DDI
Creators: name: Beuster, Benjamin
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: The first edition of round 9 data and documentation from the European Social Survey (ESS) will be released in October 2019. The metadata is in great part produced with DDI based tools. The data is published both in DDI-Codebook (NESSTAR) and DDI-Lifecycle (QVDB/Colectica) making the datasets more accessible for researchers and facilitating meaningful interpretation and use. In particular, this presentation describes how DDI is used in the production of ESS9 data and documentation. This includes practical examples like the production of ESS Codebooks and Data Setup files based on DDI3.2 XML and it illustrates how metadata components like variables and codelists are reused over time (ESS1 to ESS9).

description: Topological Dirac semimetals with accidental band touching between conduction and valence bands protected by time reversal and inversion symmetry are at the frontier of modern condensed matter research. Theoretically one can get Weyl and/or nodal-line semimetals by breaking either one of them. Most of the discovered topological semimetals are nonmagnetic i.e respect time reversal symmetry. Here we report the experimental observation of a topological nodal-line semi metallic state in GdSbTe using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Our systematic study reveals the detailed electronic structure of the paramagnetic state of GdSbTe. We observe the presence of multiple Fermi surface pockets including a diamond-shape, an elliptical shape, and small circular pockets around the zone center and high symmetry M and X points of the Brillouin zone (BZ), respectively. Furthermore, we observe the presence of a Dirac-like state at the X point of the BZ. Interestingly, our experimental data shows a robust Dirac like state both below and above the magnetic transition temperature (T_N ~ 13 K). Having relatively higher transition temperature, GdSbTe provides an archetype platform to study the interaction between magnetism and topological states of matter.

description: Background: Pairwise meta-analyses have shown beneficial effects of individual dietary approaches on blood pressure but their comparative effects have not been established. Objective: Therefore we performed a systematic review of different dietary intervention trials and estimated the aggregate blood pressure effects through network meta-analysis including hypertensive and pre-hypertensive patients. Design: PubMed, Cochrane CENTRAL, and Google Scholar were searched until June 2017. The inclusion criteria were defined as follows: i) Randomized trial with a dietary approach; ii) hypertensive and pre-hypertensive adult patients; and iii) minimum intervention period of 12 weeks. In order to determine the pooled effect of each intervention relative to each of the other intervention for both diastolic and systolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP), random effects network meta-analysis was performed. Results: A total of 67 trials comparing 13 dietary approaches (DASH, low-fat, moderate-carbohydrate, high-protein, low-carbohydrate, Mediterranean, Palaeolithic, vegetarian, low-GI/GL, low-sodium, Nordic, Tibetan, and control) enrolling 17,230 participants were included. In the network meta-analysis, the DASH, Mediterranean, low-carbohydrate, Palaeolithic, high-protein, low-glycaemic index, low-sodium, and low-fat dietary approaches were significantly more effective in reducing SBP (−8.73 to −2.32 mmHg) and DBP (−4.85 to −1.27 mmHg) compared to a control diet. According to the SUCRAs, the DASH diet was ranked the most effective dietary approach in reducing SBP (90%) and DBP (91%), followed by the Palaeolithic, and the low-carbohydrate diet (ranked 3rd for SBP) or the Mediterranean diet (ranked 3rd for DBP). For most comparisons, the credibility of evidence was rated very low to moderate, with the exception for the DASH vs. the low-fat dietary approach for which the quality of evidence was rated high. Conclusion: The present network meta-analysis suggests that the DASH dietary approach might be the most effective dietary measure to reduce blood pressure among hypertensive and pre-hypertensive patients based on high quality evidence.

description: International student mobility has grown significantly in recent years, with over 4.1 million students in 2013 who studied abroad around the world (Institute of International Education [IIE], 2016). With the changes in student demographics and increased mobility, student affairs professionals are in a unique role to support international student transition and success. Unfortunately, current research and practice in higher education tends to place a high level of responsibility on the international student to successfully transition to a new campus environment or places the responsibility on the international student affairs/student services office to solely work with these students. Given the multi-faceted needs of international students, we argue that it is critical for student affairs professionals across functional areas to be prepared to support this diverse population.
Charm Hadrons from Fragmentation and B decays in e+e- Annihilation at $\sqrt{s}=$10.6 GeV

description: We present an analysis of charm quark fragmentation at 10.6 GeV, based on a data sample of 103 fb collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB accelerator. We consider fragmentation into the main charmed hadron ground states, namely \DZ, \DP, \Ds and \LC, as well as the excited states \DSZ and \DSP. The fragmentation functions are important to measure as they describe processes at a low energy scale, where calculations in perturbation theory lead to large uncertainties. Fragmentation functions can also be used as input distributions for Monte Carlo generators. Additionally, we determine the average number of these charmed hadrons produced per B decay at the \Ys resonance and measure the distribution of their production angle in \epem annihilation events and in B decays.

description: We compute the gravitational effective action by integrating out quantum matter fields in a weak gravitational field, using the Schwinger-Keldysh (in-in) formalism. We pay particular attention to the role of the initial quantum state in the structure of the nonlocal terms in the effective action, with an eye to nonlinear completions of the theory that may be relevant in astrophysics and cosmology. In this first paper we consider a quantum scalar field in thermal equilibrium, in a stationary gravitational field. We obtain a covariant expression for the nonlocal effective action, that can be expressed in terms of the curvature tensor, the four-velocity of the thermal bath and the local Tolman temperature. We discuss the connection between the results for ultrastatic and static metrics through conformal transformations, and the main features of the thermal corrections to the semiclassical Einstein equations.

description: In a three-level atomic system coupled by two equal-amplitude laser fields with a frequency separation 2$δ$, a weak probe field exhibits a multiple-peaked absorption spectrum with a constant peak separation $δ$. The corresponding probe dispersion exhibits steep normal dispersion near the minimum absorption between the multiple absorption peaks, which leads to simultaneous slow group velocities for probe photons at multiple frequencies separated by $δ$. We report an experimental study in such a bichromatically coupled three-level $Λ$ system in cold $^{87}$Rb atoms. The multiple-peaked probe absorption spectra under various experimental conditions have been observed and compared with the theoretical calculations.
