description: This paper introduces a mobility equity metric (MEM) for evaluating fairness and accessibility in multi-modal intelligent transportation systems. The MEM simultaneously accounts for service accessibility and transportation costs across different modes of transportation and social demographics. We provide a data-driven validation of the proposed MEM to characterize the impact of various parameters in the metric across cities in the U.S. We subsequently develop a routing framework that aims to optimize MEM within a transportation network containing both public transit and private vehicles. Within this framework, a system planner provides routing suggestions to vehicles across all modes of transportation to maximize MEM. We evaluate our approach through numerical simulations, analyzing the impact of travel demands and compliance of private vehicles. This work provides insights into designing transportation systems that are not only efficient but also equitable, ensuring fair access to essential services across diverse populations.

 ≡ Millettia trifoliata Dunn, J. Linn. Soc., Bot. 41(280): 165. 1912 (Dunn 1912).
 Type: MYANMAR. Southern Shan State, Polaw, 2000 ft., on banks of streams, Feb 1910, W. A. Robertson 126 (lectotype: K! [K000848690], designated here; isolectotypes: BM! [BM012554430], K! [K000848687, K000848688, K000848689], L! [L.2054662], P! [P02141871]).
 Description. Trees; branches light grey, with white lenticels. Stipules caducous. Leaves alternate, Leaves alternate, imparipinnate; stipels absent; leaflets 3, papery, opposite, narrow oblong to oblong, 7.1–11.7 × 3.1–4.5 cm, length/ width ratio 2–3, base cuneate to round, apex acuminate to caudate, glabrous on both surfaces; principal lateral veins inconspicuous, curved apically near margins. Pseudoracemes laxly flowered, 4–10 cm long, frequently ramous near the base, forming leafy pseudopanicle; brachyblasts very indistinct, each always with 2 flowers; rachis pubescent; bracts caducous; bracteoles absent; pedicel 0.9–1.1 cm long, slender, pubescent. Flowers 1.7–2.1 cm long; receptacle hollow, with distinct longitudinal ridges outside; calyx campanulate, 6.4–7.3 mm high, pubescent outside and slightly hairy inside, 4-toothed; lobes triangular, ca 3.1–3.9 × 3.1 mm; petalswhite, glabrous; standard petal suborbicular, reflexed; wing petals oblong, ca 11.6 × 3.1 cm, base auriculate, apex obtuse, with a ca 5.5 mm long claw; keel petalsfalcate, 9.6–10.5 × 4.8–5.1 mm, base truncate, apex obtuse, pocketed at side, with a ca 4.8 mm long claw; stamens 10, diadelphous (maybe pseudo-monadelphous with 2 fenestrae at base), staminal tube ca 14 mm high; disk absent; ovary linear, 12.7–13.6 mm high, with 4 ovules, stipitate; stipe ca 3.2 mm long; style 4.3–4.5 mm long, incurved, glabrous; stigma small, capitate. Pod unknown.
 Distribution and ecology. This species is only known from a single type collection (Polaw, Southern Shan State, Myanmar) at an altitude of about 600 m. It flowers in February. Due to its inadequate information, this species is tentatively considered as ‘Data Deficient’ (DD) according to IUCN criteria (IUCN 2012).
 Notes. Huchimingia trifoliata is a poorly known species. The species is clearly related to (or maybe identical with) H. podocarpa within the genus by having symmetric lateral leaflets, leafy pseudopanicles, longer calyx lobes, and 3–4 ovules per ovary, but it differs by having fewer leaflets (3 vs. 3–9) and larger flowers (17–21 vs. 15–18 mm long).

description: Some patients with COVID-19 show changes in signs and symptoms such as temperature and oxygen saturation days before being positively tested for SARS-CoV-2, while others remain asymptomatic. It is important to identify these subgroups and to understand what biological and clinical predictors are related to these subgroups. This information will provide insights into how the immune system may respond differently to infection and can further be used to identify infected individuals. We propose a flexible nonparametric mixed-effects mixture model that identifies risk factors and classifies patients with biological changes. We model the latent probability of biological changes using a logistic regression model and trajectories in the latent groups using smoothing splines. We developed an EM algorithm to maximize the penalized likelihood for estimating all parameters and mean functions. We evaluate our methods by simulations and apply the proposed model to investigate changes in temperature in a cohort of COVID-19-infected hemodialysis patients.

description: An interphase boundary may be immobilized due to nonlinear diffractional interactions in a feedback optical device. This effect reminds of the Turing mechanism, with the optical field playing the role of a diffusive inhibitor. Two examples of pattern formation are considered in detail: arrays of kinks in 1d, and solitary spots in 2d. In both cases, a large number of equilibrium solutions is possible due to the oscillatory character of diffractional interaction.

description: The structural and chemical properties of metal nanoparticles are often dictated by their interactions with molecular ligand shells. These interactions are highly material-specific and can vary significantly even among elements within the same group or materials with similar crystal structure. Precise characterization of ligand-metal interactions is crucial for the rational design of ligands and the functionalization of nanoparticles. In this study, we found that the ligation behavior with m-terphenyl isocyanide molecule differs significantly between Au and Ag nanoparticles, with distinct ligand extraction efficiencies and size dependencies. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy measurements revealed unique enhancement factors for two molecular vibrational modes between two metal surfaces, indicating different ligand binding geometries. Molecular-level characterization using scanning tunneling microscopy allowed us to directly visualize these variations between Ag and Au surfaces, which we assign as two distinct binding mechanisms. This molecular-scale visualization provides clear insights into the different ligand-metal interactions, as well as the chemical behavior and spectroscopic characteristics of isocyanide-functionalized nanoparticles.

description: The present study aims at evaluating a batch scale biosorption potential of Moringa oleifera leaves (MOL) for the removal of Pb(II) from aqueous solutions. The MOL biomass was characterized by FTIR, SEM, EDX, and BET. The impact of initial concentrations of Pb (II), adsorbent dosage, pH, contact time, coexisting inorganic ions (Ca2+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, CO32−, HCO3−, Cl−), electrical conductivity (EC) and total dissolved salts (TDS) in water was investigated. The results revealed that maximum biosorption (45.83 mg/g) was achieved with adsorbent dosage 0.15 g/100 mL while highest removal (98.6%) was obtained at adsorbent biomass 1.0 g/100 mL and pH 6. The presence of coexisting inorganic ions in water showed a decline in Pb(II) removal (8.5% and 5%) depending on the concentrations of ions. The removal of Pb(II) by MOL decreased from 97% to 89% after five biosorption/desorption cycles with 0.3 M HCl solution. Freundlich model yielded a better fit for equilibrium data and the pseudo-second-order well described the kinetics of Pb(II) biosorption. FTIR spectra showed that –OH, C–H, –C–O, –C = O, and –O–C functional groups were involved in the biosorption of Pb(II). The change in Gibbs free energy (ΔG = −28.10 kJ/mol) revealed that the biosorption process was favorable and thermodynamically driven. The results suggest MOL as a low cost, environment-friendly alternative biosorbent for the remediation of Pb(II) contaminated water.

description: Identities involving cyclic sums of terms composed from Jacobi elliptic functions evaluated at $p$ equally shifted points on the real axis were recently found. These identities played a crucial role in discovering linear superposition solutions of a large number of important nonlinear equations. We derive four master identities, from which the identities discussed earlier are derivable as special cases. Master identities are also obtained which lead to cyclic identities with alternating signs. We discuss an extension of our results to pure imaginary and complex shifts as well as to the ratio of Jacobi theta functions.

Surface Passivation of Crystalline Silicon by Sputtered Aluminium Oxide

Publisher: name: The Australian National University

Subjects: Aluminium Oxide, Surface Passivation, Sputtering, Solar Cells

description: Efficient and inexpensive solar cells are necessary for photovoltaics to be widely adopted for mainstream electricity generation. For this to occur, the recombination losses of charge carriers (i.e. electrons or holes) must be minimised using a surface passivation technique suitable for manufacturing. In the literature, it has been shown that the aluminium oxide films are negatively charged dielectrics that provide excellent surface passivation of silicon solar cells. Meanwhile, sputtering has been shown to be an inexpensive thin film deposition method that is suitable for manufacturing. This thesis work aims to combine the excellent passivation properties of aluminium oxide with the manufacturing advantages offered by sputtering. We show - for the first time - that sputtering is capable of depositing negatively charged aluminium oxide films that provide very good surface passivation of crystalline silicon. Effective surface recombination velocities of 24.6 cm/s and 9 cm/s are achieved on 0.8 Ohm.cm p-type crystalline silicon and 1 Ohm.cm n-type crystalline silicon respectively, with charges in the range of -1E11 to -1E13 per square centimetre. We specify the sputtering requirements and processing conditions required for achieving these results, showing the effect of the various deposition and annealing parameters. After investigating the physical characteristics of the sputtered aluminium oxide films using thin film measurement techniques such as Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry and Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy, we conclude that the current levels of surface passivation attained using aluminium oxide films appear to be closely related to the interfacial layer and the presence of hydrogen. In some cases the level of surface passivation is most likely limited by the incorporation of unwanted impurities. We determine the composition and bonding of aluminium oxide films, discussing their significance to the various hypotheses concerning the origin of the negative charge. Finally, we demonstrate that sputtered aluminium oxide can be applied to solar cells by fabricating passivated emitter and rear cells with efficiencies as high as 20%. The results of this thesis provide the foundation for the sputtered aluminium oxide technology and its application to industrial solar cells.

description: We first review the historical developments, both in physics and in mathematics, that preceded (and in some sense provided the background of) deformation quantization. Then we describe the birth of the latter theory and its evolution in the past twenty years, insisting on the main conceptual developments and keeping here as much as possible on the physical side. For the physical part the accent is put on its relations to, and relevance for, "conventional" physics. For the mathematical part we concentrate on the questions of existence and equivalence, including most recent developments for general Poisson manifolds; we touch also noncommutative geometry and index theorems, and relations with group theory, including quantum groups. An extensive (though very incomplete) bibliography is appended and includes background mathematical literature.

Re-colonisation and indigenous resistance: neoliberalism in the Pacific
Creators: name: Bargh, Ema Maria
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2002
Subjects: Neoliberalism, Indigenous resistance, Pacific, Re-colonisation, Maori

description: In this thesis I argue that neoliberal agendas and policies being embedded in the Pacific, utilising multiple authors, indirect rule, institutionalisation and normalisation, are akin to colonisation and can aptly be described as re-colonisation. Many of these practices are not new: rather they continue long-standing Western practices particularly relating to the perception of non-Western peoples. I argue further that these neoliberal policies and agendas are inadequate for the Pacific in various ways. They are inadequate because the values and ideals underpinning neoliberalism contribute to narrow perceptions of Indigenous peoples in the Pacific as incapable of properly governing themselves and of Indigenous cultures as obstacles to ‘development’. These perceptions often continue to be expressed overtly, but are also newly articulated and govern through Indigenous structures and identities. I argue that developing a broader understanding of Indigenous resistance assists us to comprehend Indigenous peoples and to see their cultures, not as rigidified structures fixed in time and awaiting foreign governing, but rather as dynamic and living practices. Re-imagining indigeneity and resistance also assists us in moving beyond a simplistic binary of re-colonisation and resistance to more nuanced understandings. By complicating neoliberal agendas I seek to question how forms of knowledge, which dominate policies for states and academic disciplines that claim to be able to account for the Pacific, such as international relations and international political economy, come to dominate if they are based on and perpetuated utilising such inadequate ideas. I suggest that if neoliberalism holds such currency in the Pacific and yet is so inadequate, then perhaps there are other forms of knowledge equally dominant, which require reconceptualising. By creating more complex propositions I hope not only to make neoliberal policies and agendas appear untenable, but also the more long‑standing Western perceptions of non-Western people, of which neoliberalism is a powerful element.

description: The Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) was used for the first time to examine Taiwanese consumer behaviour regarding the selection of overseas English-language universities for fkther higher education. Taiwanese students intending to study overseas at universities in Australia, the UK and the USA were interviewed to confirm literature reports of the salient factors influencing the decision making process. The 23 salient factors influencing decision-making were organised into four categories: 'Attitudes towards the behaviour of overseas study'; 'Subjective norms', 'Perceived control over study intentions' and the 'Role of information'. These categories formed the basis of a survey questionnaire administered to Taiwanese students (n=518) intending to study at a university in Australia, the UK or the USA. The questions in the survey were structured and organised so as to form global and specific measures fo~ each factor. The TPB was demonstrated, through factor analysis and multiple regression analyses, to be a reliable model to predict the intention of Taiwanese students to study overseas generally and in the three target countries. Each of the three global measures was significant predictors of the intention to study overseas: 'Attitudes towards the behaviour of overseas study' (Rz0.549, p less than 0.001, P=0.285); 'Subjective norms' (R=0.549, p less than 0.001, fk0.239) and 'Perceived control over study intentions' (R=0.549, p less than 0.001, P=0.185). At the level of specific measures only 'Role of information' (p up to 0.5) was not a significant predictor of intention to study overseas. The specific measure 'Attitudes towards the behaviour of overseas study' was a slightly more important predictor of Taiwanese students' intention to study overseas. Regarding study in individual countries 'ttitudes towards the behaviour of overseas study' was the most important predictor of Taiwanese students' intention to study in Australia (R=0.613, p less than 0.05, P=0.326) and the UK (R = 0.504, p less than 0.05). The most important predictor of intention to study in the USA was 'Subjective norms' (R = 0.538, p less than 0.01). On the basis of this research suggestions are proposed for marketing practitioners. Suggestions include shaping students cognition about the country through the media in Taiwan; the greater use of campus newspapers published by Taiwanese universities or colleges, and the development of multiple language websites by Western universities.

 Type: CHINA. Yunnan Province, Mengla County, Mengyuan, Daoban, 995 m, 8 Apr 2013, Jian-Wu Li 2986 (holotype: HITBC! [150677]; isotype: KUN! [1251989]).
 Description. A full description for this species was provided by Song et al. (2019).
 Distribution and ecology. Huchimingia weizhii is known from China (Yunnan). It grows in limestone forests at an altitude of 700–1000 m. It flowers before leaves expand, from January to February, and fruits from March to September. This species was recently evaluated as ‘Endangered’ (EN) by Song et al. (2019).
 Notes. Due to its standard petal with inflexed auricles and pods with four wings, this species was previously placed in Millettia sect. Fragiliflorae Dunn by Song et al. (2019), who also pointed out its similarity with Millettia sect. Podocarpae Dunn. But it should be included in the genus Huchimingia by having large, subglobose, scaly buds (Fig. 3E), pseudoracemes with very indistinct brachyblasts, two flowers on each brachyblast, conspicuous large bracts (mistakenly described as bracteoles by Song et al. (2019)), ebracteolate calyx, hollow receptacle, and stipitate ovary and pod (Fig. 3F). The systematic position of this species within Huchimingia was also well supported by molecular evidence (Fig. 1).

description: In this paper we extend the Celada-Seiden (CS) model of the humoral immune response to include infectious virus and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (cellular response). The response of the system to virus involves a competition between the ability of the virus to kill the host cells and the host's ability to eliminate the virus. We find two basins of attraction in the dynamics of this system, one is identified with disease and the other with the immune state. There is also an oscillating state that exists on the border of these two stable states. Fluctuations in the population of virus or antibody can end the oscillation and drive the system into one of the stable states. The introduction of mechanisms of cross-regulation between the two responses can bias the system towards one of them. We also study a mean field model, based on coupled maps, to investigate virus-like infections. This simple model reproduces the attractors for average populations observed in the cellular automaton. All the dynamical behavior connected to spatial extension is lost, as is the oscillating feature. Thus the mean field approximation introduced with coupled maps destroys oscillations.

description: The canonical trace on the reduced C*-algebra of a discrete group gives rise to a homomorphism from the K-theory of this C^*-algebra to the real numbers. This paper addresses the range of this homomorphism. For torsion free groups, the Baum-Connes conjecture and Atiyah's L2-index theorem implies that the range consists of the integers. If the group is not torsion free, Baum and Connes conjecture that the trace takes values in the rational numbers. We give a direct and elementary proof that if G acts on a tree and admits a homomorphism αto another group H whose restriction to every stabilizer group of a vertex is injective, then the range of the trace for G, tr_G(K(C_r^*G)) is contained in the range of the trace for H, tr_H(K(C_r^*H)). This follows from a general relative Fredholm module technique. Examples are in particular HNN-extensions of H where the stable letter acts by conjugation with an element of H, or amalgamated free products G=H*_U H of two copies of the same groups along a subgroup U.

On Impacts of Economic Growth
Creators: name: Burke, Paul
Publisher: name: The Australian National University

Subjects: economic growth; economic development; political economy; democracy; energy; electricity; carbon dioxide

description: This thesis presents four papers on impacts of economic growth. The results indicate that faster economic growth improves the short-run political survival prospects of national leaders in both democracies and autocracies, and reduces the short-run likelihood of democratic change. Results also indicate that long-run economic growth sees countries climb an "electricity ladder", substituting away from hydroelectricity and oil-fired electricity and toward electricity generated using coal and natural gas, and finally to nuclear power and modern renewables such as wind power. The extent to which countries climb the electricity ladder as they develop is a function of indigenous energy resources: countries with large endowments of hydro potential or fossil fuels are less likely to adopt nuclear power and modern renewables than otherwise similar countries. Countries that climb to the upper rungs of the electricity ladder are far more likely to experience environmental Kuznets curve-type downturns in carbon dioxide emissions. The results have important implications for actors who wish to encourage political change, and for climate change mitigation action.

description: This thesis is concerned with the mysteries of neutron stars and the quest for gravitational waves. Rapidly-rotating neutron stars are anticipated sources of periodic gravitational waves, and are expected to be detectable within the next decade using kilometre-scale laser interferometry. We first perform ideal-magnetohydrodynamic axisymmetric simulations of a magnetically confined mountain on an accreting neutron star. Two scenarios are considered, in which the mountain sits atop a hard surface or sinks into a soft, fluid base. We quantify the ellipticity of the star, due to a mountain grown on a hard surface, and the reduction in ellipticity due to sinking. The consequences for gravitational waves from low-mass x-ray binaries are discussed. We next present two approaches to reducing the computational cost of searches for periodic gravitational waves. First, we generalise the PowerFlux semi-coherent search method to estimate the amplitudes and polarisation of the periodic gravitational wave signal. The relative efficiencies of the generalised and standard methods are compared using simulated signals. Second, we present an algorithm which minimises the number of templates required for a fully coherent search, by using lattice sphere covering to optimally place templates in the search parameter space. An implementation of the algorithm is tested using Monte Carlo simulations. Finally, we present a coherent search for periodic gravitational waves targeting the central compact object in the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A, using data from the fifth science run of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. The search parameter space is determined by the sensitive frequencies of the detectors, by the age of the compact object, and a range of braking indices. No gravitational wave signal is detected. We set an upper limit on the strength of gravitational waves from the compact object in Cassiopeia A, which surpasses the theoretical limit based on energy conservation. Cassiopeia A is thus one of only a few astronomical objects, to date, where gravitational wave observations are beginning to constrain astrophysics.

description: In this paper, poly(ethylene disulfide) (PEDS) and carbon fiber (CF) composites were synthesized using in situ polymerization. Then, synthesized composites, sulfur, zinc oxide (ZnO), stearic acid, and N-cyclohexyl-2-benzothiazole sulfenamide (CBS) were compounded using a two-roll mill and cured by a rheometer at 140°C. PEDS characteristics were investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Raman spectroscopies, X-ray diffraction (XRD), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Also, cured samples were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), FTIR, Raman spectroscopies, XRD, DSC, and TGA. Moreover, the mechanical properties and hardness of the samples were investigated by tensile test and Shore A. The results showed that after the curing process, due to the cross-links, the structure is completely amorphous and no melting temperature (Tm) has been observed. Also, by increasing CFs in composites, the glass transition temperature occurs at higher temperatures. Moreover, the thermal stability of composites by increasing CFs was enhanced. Furthermore, by an increase of CFs in matrix, hardness, and elastic modulus, as well as strength, were increasing.

description: Video action localization aims to find the timings of specific actions from a long video. Although existing learning-based approaches have been successful, they require annotating videos, which comes with a considerable labor cost. This paper proposes a training-free, open-vocabulary approach based on emerging off-the-shelf vision-language models (VLMs). The challenge stems from the fact that VLMs are neither designed to process long videos nor tailored for finding actions. We overcome these problems by extending an iterative visual prompting technique. Specifically, we sample video frames and create a concatenated image with frame index labels, allowing a VLM to identify the frames that most likely correspond to the start and end of the action. By iteratively narrowing the sampling window around the selected frames, the estimation gradually converges to more precise temporal boundaries. We demonstrate that this technique yields reasonable performance, achieving results comparable to state-of-the-art zero-shot action localization. These results support the use of VLMs as a practical tool for understanding videos. Sample code is available at https://microsoft.github.io/VLM-Video-Action-Localization/

description: We study the problem of Minimum $k$-Critical Bipartite Graph of order $(n,m)$ - M$k$CBG-$(n,m)$: to find a bipartite $G=(U,V;E)$, with $|U|=n$, $|V|=m$, and $n>m>1$, which is $k$-critical bipartite, and the tuple $(|E|, Δ_U, Δ_V)$, where $Δ_U$ and $Δ_V$ denote the maximum degree in $U$ and $V$, respectively, is lexicographically minimum over all such graphs. $G$ is $k$-critical bipartite if deleting at most $k=n-m$ vertices from $U$ creates $G'$ that has a complete matching, i.e., a matching of size $m$. We show that, if $m(n-m+1)/n$ is an integer, then a solution of the M$k$CBG-$(n,m)$ problem can be found among $(a,b)$-regular bipartite graphs of order $(n,m)$, with $a=m(n-m+1)/n$, and $b=n-m+1$. If $a=m-1$, then all $(a,b)$-regular bipartite graphs of order $(n,m)$ are $k$-critical bipartite. For $a

title: Developing effective biochar and biopolymer material as an alternative microbial carrier

description: Noble strains of rhizobium have been commercially available for agricultural production over the past few decades. These elite rhizobia, however, are often not as successful under adverse edaphic conditions as native strains, primarily due to low tolerance to desiccation. To date, peat has been extensively used as a microbial (rhizobial) carrier material on a large scale to improve and increase the viability of rhizobia. Apart from its global use as a prime carrier material for inoculants, there are multiple issues regarding its use as a microbial carrier. For instance, current peat-based rhizobial inoculants may not provide the strain with sufficient moisture to survive for an extended period under drought conditions. In addition, it is non-renewable, and its production is restricted to only a few areas of the world. It also has a high extraction cost and economically is not cheap. Alternatively, some attempts have been made to find other affordable, locally available in bulk quantity and eco-friendly materials that could be used as the appropriate carrier materials of rhizobia. Hereinto, biochar and biopolymer materials have gained global attraction due to their ease of local availability, ecofriendly nature, and excellent physicochemical characteristics. However, the research in this aspect is still in its infancy and most studies have been conducted outside Australia. For this PhD project, a number of research questions were investigated: a) which types of biochar made from different feedstock will be suitable as rhizobial carrier materials and what are the main reasons for the enhancement of rhizobial growth and survival inside them; b) how different pyrolysis temperature of biochar will affect their various properties leading to a good performance of biochar-based inoculant; c) how different biopolymers as additives in biochar-based inoculant will improve the behavior of materials as rhizobial carriers and what is the best formulation of them; d) how novel superabsorbent biopolymers/biochar inoculant could be created with addition of organic nutrients (mulch hay and eggshells) for excellent rhizobial performance.

Phoenix rising : narratives in Nonya beadwork from the Straits Settlements : 1870 to the present
Creators: name: Cheah, Hwei-Fe'n
Publisher: name: The Australian National University

description: Until the first half of the twentieth century, Nonya beadwork and embroidery were important means of textile decoration for the Peranakans, the acculturated Chinese settlers in the Straits Settlements and the Netherlands Indies. Intricate and visually distinctive, Nonya beadwork is now regarded as a visual marker of a quaint Peranakan past. Its amalgamation of local, Chinese, and European influences is seen as a testimony to the celebrated hybridity of the Peranakan heritage. Yet despite the wealth of research on Southeast Asian textiles and the current intensification of interest in Peranakan material culture, no rigorous art historical study on Nonya beadwork has thus far been undertaken. This study contributes to the scholarship of Southeast Asian textile history by focusing on the relatively neglected area of needlework, demonstrating its potential as a source of cultural and historical information. This thesis also expands the perspectives on Peranakan Chinese decorative art by focusing on the historicity of Nonya beadwork, both as object and activity, such that beadwork becomes a tool with which to probe the social and symbolic world of the Peranakans...Whereas Nonya beadwork is now considered traditional, this thesis argues that the meanings imbued in beadwork have always been shaped by the Peranakans' concerns about the social and political milieux of the times in which they were created and used. For a migrant community located at the busy crossroads of the East-West trade, its negotiation of a precious but distant Chinese heritage and its ties to an adopted land were inextricably bound up with its encounters with the flow of ideas from East and West and the ways in which it confronted modernity. By unravelling the history of the Nonya beadwork through an analysis of the changes in the Peranakans' attitudes towards beading and the modifications of techniques, designs, and styles in beadwork, this thesis reveals the shifting expressions of Peranakan culture and identity in the Straits Settlements as the Peranakan community engaged with modernity, gendered norms, and an ancestral heritage in the late nineteenth and first half of the twentieth centuries, expressions from which Peranakan culture is conceived in the present.

description: The theory of persistence modules is an emerging field of algebraic topology which originated in topological data analysis. In these notes we provide a concise introduction into this field and give an account on some of its interactions with geometry and analysis. In particular, we present applications of persistence to symplectic topology, including the geometry of symplectomorphism groups and embedding problems. Furthermore, we discuss topological function theory which provides a new insight on oscillation of functions. The material should be accessible to readers with a basic background in algebraic and differential topology.
