Semantic and structural integration of heterogeneous XML sources
Creators: name: Nguyen, Hong Quang

Schema integration aims to create a mediated schema as a uniform interface to a set of data sources, and to create schema mappings between this mediated schema and the source schemas. The mediated schema and schema mappings are critical for interoperability in numerous data-sharing applications such as enterprise integration, commerce and bioinformatics. Extensible Markup Language (XML) has been widely used for representing and sharing data due to its promising interoperability support. Unfortunately, XML sources cause the problem of schema heterogeneity, in which the same concepts and relations can be represented in many different ways, with different choices of elements and structures. Such heterogeneity leads to substantial semantic and structural conflicts. To resolve these conflicts and reduce user effort, systematic approaches are required to create the mediated schema and mappings. In this thesis, we propose a systematic approach for integrating schemas of multiple heterogeneous XML sources. Our key contributions are fivefold. First, we propose a schema integration framework that combines three traditionally separate tasks: matching, clustering and merging. Second, we integrate the salient semantic aspects of the domain by concept clustering. We resolve the semantic conflicts for creating a set of concepts. Third, we further integrate the structural aspects of the domain by relation clustering. We resolve structural conflicts for creating relations between the concepts. Besides the commonly used similarity measurement, the conflict resolution incorporates a new type of relevance measurement that estimates how a concept or a relation is relevant to the domain. Fourth, both the concepts and relations are merged into a unique double-layered mediated schema that aims to achieve a high degree of completeness and minimality: retaining all of the concepts and relations without redundancy. Finally, we validate the applicability of the integration results in query answering over multiple sources. Our experimental results on both real and synthetic datasets show an improvement compared with PORSCHE, COMA++ and RONDO with respect to (i) the mediated-schema quality, based on precision, recall, F-measure, and schema minimality; and (ii) the execution performance, based on execution time and scale-up performance.

description: We analyze the data from the loophole-free CHSH experiment performed by Hensen et al., and show that it is actually not exempt of an important loophole. By increasing the size of the sample of event-ready detections, one can exhibit in the experimental data a violation of the no-signaling principle with a statistical significance at least similar to that of the reported violation of the CHSH inequality, if not stronger.

description: In this paper, the problem of the self-adjointness for the case of a quantum minisuperspace Hamiltonian retrieved from a Brans-Dicke (BD) action is investigated. Our matter content is presented in terms of a perfect fluid, onto which the Schutz's formalism will be applied. We use the von Neumann theorem and the similarity with the Laplacian operator in one of the variables to determine the cases where the Hamiltonian is self-adjoint and if it admits self-adjoint extensions. For the latter, we study which extension is physically more suitable.

description: Occupational therapy competency standards provide an evidence-base to inform clinical best practice, however it is not known whether education about competency standards will increase occupational therapists’ adherence to their use. To investigate if education about the ‘Australian Competency Standards for Occupational Therapy Driver Assessors’ leads to increased adherence to the competency standards in the clinical practice of occupational therapy driver assessors. A mixed methods multiple case study design was used to evaluate 5 occupational therapy driver assessors’ adherence to the competency standards. An audit of 25 client files and interviews were conducted to evaluate practice against the competency standards prior to an education session, followed by an audit of a further 25 files, interview and feedback after education. Qualitative and quantitative analyses suggest that education about the ‘Australian Competency Standards for Occupational Therapy Driver Assessors’ was associated with increased adherence to the competency standards in clinical practice. The results also support the use of competency standards in clinical practice. Competency standards can be used to inform and guide clinical practice, and individualised education and feedback of practice against the competency standards can increase occupational therapists’ adherence to these standards.

description: Over 240 million people are infected with schistosomiasis. Detecting Schistosoma mansoni eggs in stool using Kato–Katz thick smears (Kato-Katzs) is highly specific but lacks sensitivity. The urine-based point-of-care circulating cathodic antigen test (POC-CCA) has higher sensitivity, but issues include specificity, discrepancy between batches and interpretation of trace results. A semi-quantitative G-score and latent class analyses making no assumptions about trace readings have helped address some of these issues. However, intra-sample and inter-sample variation remains unknown for POC-CCAs. We collected 3 days of stool and urine from 349 and 621 participants, from high- and moderate-endemicity areas, respectively. We performed duplicate Kato-Katzs and one POC-CCA per sample. In the high-endemicity community, we also performed three POC-CCA technical replicates on one urine sample per participant. Latent class analysis was performed to estimate the relative contribution of intra- (test technical reproducibility) and inter-sample (day-to-day) variation on sensitivity and specificity. Within-sample variation for Kato-Katzs was higher than between-sample, with the opposite true for POC-CCAs. A POC-CCA G3 threshold most accurately assesses individual infections. However, to reach the WHO target product profile of the required 95% specificity for prevalence and monitoring and evaluation, a threshold of G4 is needed, but at the cost of reducing sensitivity.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Challenges in the fight against neglected tropical diseases’.

description: Starting from a $d\times d$ rational Lax pair system of the form $\hbar \partial_x Ψ= LΨ$ and $\hbar \partial_t Ψ=RΨ$ we prove that, under certain assumptions (genus $0$ spectral curve and additional conditions on $R$ and $L$), the system satisfies the "topological type property". A consequence is that the formal $\hbar$-WKB expansion of its determinantal correlators, satisfy the topological recursion. This applies in particular to all $(p,q)$ minimal models reductions of the KP hierarchy, or to the six Painlevé systems.

Analysis and Correction of Corneal Astigmatism in Modern Pseudophakia

description: Toric intraocular lenses (IOLs) are designed to reduce spectacle dependency by correcting corneal astigmatism at the time of surgery. However, these IOLs are reliant on the accurate prediction of post-operative corneal astigmatism through reliable ocular biometry and the accurate calculation of surgically induced astigmatism. In the thesis the repeatability of assessing corneal curvature was assessed using six commercially available keratometers. The results question the validity of corneal biometry and infer that much of the apparent change in corneal shape usually associated with surgically induced astigmatism may be due to measurement error. The use of the oblique cross cylinder formulae for the calculation of post-operative corneal curvature was also investigated. This formula is incorporated into all commercially available toric IOL calculators and is utilised in every toric IOL implantation. The results from this thesis indicate that the formula is not applicable to the human cornea and that the use of the calculator does not increase the effectivity of the toric correction. Furthermore, the thesis queries the assumption that post-operative corneal astigmatism is directly proportional to post-operative refractive error. The disparity between both the magnitude and axis of astigmatism measured by keratometry and manifest refraction in a pseudophakic population was investigated. The axis measurements in particular showed very poor agreement; far outside an acceptable level of misalignment, significantly decreasing the effective correction provided if the lens was aligned with the keratometry readings. Inclusion of the posterior corneal curvature and thickness, along with a smaller chord length may lead to a more accurate assessment of corneal power. Despite the difficulty in providing an effective toric IOL correction, it was found that the correction of corneal astigmatism at the time of cataract surgery might decrease the risks of falls. Uncorrected astigmatism and cataract both cause a reduction in stability when stepping oven an obstacle, which is one of the most common causes of trips and falls in the elderly population.

Coalgebraic trace semantics via forgetful logics

description: We use modal logic as a framework for coalgebraic trace semantics, and show the flexibility of the approach with concrete examples such as the language semantics of weighted, alternating and tree automata, and the trace semantics of generative probabilistic systems. We provide a sufficient condition under which a logical semantics coincides with the trace semantics obtained via a given determinization construction. Finally, we consider a condition that guarantees the existence of a canonical determinization procedure that is correct with respect to a given logical semantics. That procedure is closely related to Brzozowski's minimization algorithm.

First-order quantum phase transition in three-dimensional topological band insulators

description: Topological states of matter are characterized by global topological invariants which change their value across a topological quantum phase transition. It is commonly assumed that the transition between topologically distinct noninteracting gapped phases of fermions is necessarily accompanied by the closing of the band gap as long as the symmetries of the system are maintained. We show that such a quantum phase transition is possible without closing the gap in the case of a three-dimensional topological band insulator. We demonstrate this by calculating the free energy of the minimal model for a topological insulator, the Bernevig-Hughes-Zhang model, and show that as the band curvature continuously varies, a jump between the band gap minima corresponding to the topologically trivial and nontrivial insulators occurs. Therefore, this first order phase transition is a generic feature of three-dimensional topological band insulators. For a certain parameter range we predict a re-entrant topological phase transition. We discuss our findings in connection with the recent experimental observation of a discontinuous topological phase transition in a family of topological crystalline insulators.

This answers a question of Gubeladze. We also compute the higher $K$-theory of this monoid algebra. In particular, we show that the above isomorphism does not extend to all higher $K$-groups.

description: We identify the simplest combinations of entanglement and incompatibility giving the maximum quantum violation for each of the 46 classes of tight Bell inequalities for the (3,2,2) scenario, i.e., three parties, two measurements per party, and two outcomes per measurement. This allows us to classify the maximum quantum nonlocality according to the simplest resources needed to achieve it. We show that entanglement and incompatibility only produce maximum nonlocality when they are combined in specific ways. For each entanglement class there is, in most cases, just one incompatibility class leading to maximum nonlocality. We also identify two interesting cases. We show that the maximum quantum violation of Śliwa inequality 23 only occurs when the third party measures the identity, so nonlocality cannot increase when we add a third party to the bipartite case. Almost quantum correlations predict that adding a new party increases nonlocality. This points out that either almost quantum correlations violate a fundamental principle or that there is a form of tripartite entanglement which quantum theory cannot account for. The other interesting case is the maximum quantum violation of Śliwa inequality 26, which, like the Mermin inequality, requires maximum incompatibility for all parties. In contrast, it requires a specific entangled state which has the same tripartite negativity as the W state.

Living in Saffron Walden: constructing the self in writing after illness
Creators: name: Partridge, Dinah Mary
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: This creative thesis comprises a memoir and an exegesis exploring the writing process. The memoir is in two major sections. The first involves a narrative of a serious medical event. The second is more reflective and deals with the impact on life following illness of this event. Both sections include fictive material that explores points of view other than those of the narrator. An alternate life narrative peppers both sections and the second section includes episodes related to travel. All of these episodes combine to create a complex analysis/representation of the nature of the self during and post illness, focussing on the issues of power and control. The exegesis is a theoretical exploration of this writing process. It involves analysis of the role of writing in the construction of self and the therapeutic possibilities of writing in this process. It examines the factors that impinge on this process, including the nature of memory and the impact of trauma. These in turn are placed in the context of medical discourse and the post graduate experience. The exegesis involves an analysis of theory through practice.

Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the School of Communication, Arts and Critical Enquiry, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

description: Steady-state thermal transport in nanostructures with dimensions comparable to the phonon mean-free-path is examined. Both the case of contacts at different temperatures with no internal heat generation and contacts at the same temperature with internal heat generation are considered. Fourier's Law results are compared to finite volume method solutions of the phonon Boltzmann equation in the gray approximation. When the boundary conditions are properly specified, results obtained using Fourier's Law without modifying the bulk thermal conductivity are in essentially exact quantitative agreement with the phonon Boltzmann equation in the ballistic and diffusive limits. The errors between these two limits are examined in this paper. For the four cases examined, the error in the apparent thermal conductivity as deduced from a correct application of Fourier's Law is less than 6%. We also find that the Fourier's Law results presented here are nearly identical to those obtained from a widely-used ballistic-diffusive approach, but analytically much simpler. Although limited to steady-state conditions with spatial variations in one dimension and to a gray model of phonon transport, the results show that Fourier's Law can be used for linear transport from the diffusive to the ballistic limit. The results also contribute to an understanding of how heat transport at the nanoscale can be understood in terms of the conceptual framework that has been established for electron transport at the nanoscale.

Rattleback: a model of how geometric singularity induces dynamic chirality

description: The rattleback is a boat-shaped top with an asymmetric preference in spin. Its dynamics can be described by nonlinearly coupled pitching, rolling, and spinning modes. The chirality, designed into the body as a skewed mass distribution, manifests itself in the quicker transition of $+$spin $\rightarrow$ pitch $\rightarrow$ $-$spin than that of $-$spin $\rightarrow$ roll $\rightarrow$ $+$spin. The curious guiding idea of this work is that we can formulate the dynamics as if a symmetric body were moving in a chiral space. By elucidating the duality of matter and space in the Hamiltonian formalism, we attribute asymmetry to space. The rattleback is shown to live in the space dictated by the Bianchi type ${\rm VI}_{h < -1}$ (belonging to class B) algebra; this particular algebra is used here for the first time in a mechanical example. The class B algebra has a singularity that separates the space (Poisson manifold) into mirror-asymmetric subspaces, breaking the time-reversal symmetry of nearby orbits.
Coherent-State Approach for Majorana representation

description: By representing a quantum state and its evolution with the majorana stars on the Bloch sphere, the Majorana representation (MR) provide us an intuitive way to study a physical system with SU(2) symmetry. In this work, based on coherent states, we propose a method to establish generalization of MR for a general symmetry. By choosing a generalized coherent state as a reference state, we give a more general MR for both finite and infinite systems and the corresponding star equations are given. Using this method, we study the squeezed vacuum states for three different symmetries, Heisenberg-Weyl, SU(2) and SU(1,1), and express the effect of squeezing parameter on the distribution of stars. Furthermore, we also study the dynamical evolution of stars for an initial coherent state driven by a nonlinear Hamiltonian, and find that at a special time point, the stars are distributed on two orthogonal large circles.

description: In the solar wind, power spectral density (PSD) of the magnetic field fluctuations generally follow the so-called Kolmogorov spectrum f^-5/3 in the inertial range, where the dynamics is thought to be dominated by nonlinear interactions between counter-propagating incompressible Alfvén wave parquets. These features are thought to be ubiquitous in space plasmas. The present study gives a new and more complex picture of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) turbulence as observed in the terrestrial magnetosheath. The study uses three years of in-situ data from the Cluster mission to explore the nature of the magnetic fluctuations at MHD scales in different locations within the magnetosheath, including flanks and subsolar regions. It is found that the magnetic field fluctuations at MHD scales generally have a PSD close to f^-1 (shallower than the Kolmogorov one f^-5/3) down to the ion characteristic scale, which recalls the energy containing scales of solar wind turbulence. The Kolmogorov spectrum is observed only away from the bow shock toward the flank and the magnetopause regions in 17% of the analyzed time intervals. Measuring the magnetic compressibility, it is shown that only a fraction (35%) of the observed Kolmogorov spectra were populated by shear Alfvénic fluctuations, whereas the majority of the events (65%) was found to be dominated by compressible magnetosonic-like fluctuations, which contrasts with well-known turbulence properties in the solar wind. This study gives a first comprehensive view of the origin of the f^-1 and the transition to the Kolmogorov inertial range; both questions remain controversial in solar wind turbulence.

description: By 2050, urban areas will house 68% of the total global population (United Nations, 2018). As these areas expand, agricultural lands are lost to development. In the United States, the bulk of this agricultural land is located in the peri-urban fringe – a distinct area that exists between urban and rural areas and is characterized by prime agricultural soils and local production of fruits and vegetables (Optiz et al. 2015; Brinkley, 2012). When compared to other states, Texas’ peri-urban agricultural lands were found to be the most susceptible to land use conversion. However, a policy response to combat agricultural land loss is nearly non-existent (Freedgood et al., 2020). The loss of agricultural land is indicative of declining local food systems and food production. In addition to loss of agricultural land, local food production suffers from diminishing economic viability. Multifunctional agriculture is often recommended as a strategy for farm viability (Meert et al., 2005). Multifunctional agricultural encourages farms and ranches to diversify operations by providing diverse goods, services and experiences, such as educational workshops, farm-to-table eateries, composting, venue space, and more, in addition to food production (Zasada, 2011), This report aims to understand the state of and potential for local food production and multifunctional agriculture in the eastern peri-urban fringe of the Austin-Round Rock-Georgetown metropolitan area. This aim is fulfilled by employing three methods: 1) a quantitative assessment to determine the potential amount of fruits and vegetables which could be produced in the site, 2) a review of local government land use planning and policies, and 3) a multi-criteria analysis to identify suitable land for food production. The study area includes four counties and eleven municipalities in the eastern peri-urban fringe of the Austin-Round Rock-Georgetown metropolitan area in Central Texas. Findings indicate that although the study area can potentially support the estimated annual fruits and vegetables demand of residents within and nearby for the next two decades and that there is a cluster of large parcels suitable for food production, current local government land use planning and policies do not seem to support the local food system
