Organisational agility and firm's performance: the impact of organisational agility in business excellence models used by Australian SMEs
Creators: name: Kortian, Viken
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The Australian business environment, like most advanced economies, has felt the impact of globalisation and events such as the global financial crisis. Businesses are constantly looking to differentiate themselves and become more competitive. High Performance Theories and Business Excellence Models as espoused by popular books such as 'Good to Great' and government quality and productivity agencies, were touted as ways for firms to achieve this by implementing business excellence enablers such as leadership, people, strategy, partnership and resources, process, product and services . Recent events such as the global financial crisis, where firms who were touted as examples of 'great' organisations that have successfully applied high performance theories required government intervention to avoid bankruptcy, have questioned their validity and usefulness. This dissertation examines business high performance theories and their relationship with business excellence models such as the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Awards, European Federation of Quality Management (EFQM), organisational improvement initiatives such as Total Quality Management (TQM), Lean, and Just In Time (JIT) manufacturing. Anomalies in Australian industries have led to the suggestion that the current EFQM model should include Agility as an additional enabling factor. Many researchers have examined concepts such as supply chain agility, manufacturing agility, and network agility with respect to organisational performance. This dissertation examined the relationship between Organisational Agility and Performance as defined by the EFQM. A theoretical construct for agility was developed based on existing literature and Performance from the EFQM assessment questions. This model was tested using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling. Data was obtained via telephone surveys from COO's and CFO's of 150 small to medium sized (50 to 250 employees) Australian firms. The results demonstrated that Organisational Agility is a second order formative construct comprised of flexibility, responsiveness, competency, speed, competition, market conditions and regulations, and technology. The research also confirmed that organisational agility has a positive impact to a firm's performance as measured by EFQM's financial, customer, process, and supplier results. These results contribute to high performance theories and business excellence models suggesting that firms seeking to become more competitive should include organisational agility capabilities in conjunction with the established EFQM enablers.

Assessing flexible information use in the European honey bee (Apis mellifera)

Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The European honeybee (Apis mellifera) has been shown to be capable of solving a wide range of cognitive tasks. It is currently unknown what the limitations of their cognitive abilities are. Given the bee has a relatively tiny brain with less than one million neurons, it is surprising that these limitations have not been well characterised. To explore the nature of limits to bee cognition here we explored the capacity of bees to solve conflicting information in two different delayed conditional discriminations and a sequential conditional discrimination. In addition we explored whether there was any evidence of bees learning from their errors by assessing for a post-error slowing effect, a phenomenon found in vertebrates. These general learning abilities underpin a range of cognitive tasks, and have been considered hallmarks of intelligent behaviour. It was found that bees performed above chance levels in all three discrimination tasks, with their accuracy improving over learning trials, demonstrating that bees are capable of resolving conflicting information using conditional information. The reaction time in post-error trials were found to not display a significant slowing phenomenon. This suggests that animals with small brains can adapt to conflicting information but with some limitations in that they do not adapt their behaviour to their errors.
Supernova ejecta with a relativistic wind from a central compact object: a unified picture for extraordinary supernovae

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: The hydrodynamical interaction between freely expanding supernova ejecta and a relativistic wind injected from the central region is studied in analytic and numerical ways. As a result of the collision between the ejecta and the wind, a geometrically thin shell surrounding a hot bubble forms and expands in the ejecta. We use a self-similar solution to describe the early dynamical evolution of the shell and carry out a two-dimensional special relativistic hydrodynamic simulation to follow further evolution. The Rayleigh-Taylor instability inevitably develops at the contact surface separating the shocked wind and ejecta, leading to the complete destruction of the shell and the leakage of hot gas from the hot bubble. The leaking hot materials immediately catch up with the outermost layer of the supernova ejecta and thus different layers of the ejecta are mixed. We present the spatial profiles of hydrodynamical variables and the kinetic energy distributions of the ejecta. We stop the energy injection when a total energy of $10^{52}$ erg, which is 10 times larger than the initial kinetic energy of the supernova ejecta, is deposited into the ejecta and follow the subsequent evolution. From the results of our simulations, we consider expected emission from supernova ejecta powered by the energy injection at the centre and discuss the possibility that superluminous supernovae and broad-lined Ic supernovae could be produced by similar mechanisms.

description: In a physical system, components are usually installed in fixed positions that are known as operating slots. Due to such reasons as user behavior and imbalanced workload, the component degradation can be affected by the corresponding installation position in the system. As a result, the component degradation can be significantly different even when the components come from a homogeneous population. Dynamic reallocation of the components among the installation positions is a feasible way to balance the component degradation and hence extend the time from system installation to its replacement. In this study, we quantify the benefit of incorporating the reallocation into the condition-based maintenance framework on series systems. The degradation of components in the system is modeled as a multivariate Wiener process, where the correlation between the degradation is considered. Under the periodic inspection framework, the optimal control limits for reallocation and preventive replacement are investigated. We first propose a reallocation policy of two-component systems, where the degradation process with reallocation and replacement is formulated as a semi-regenerative process. Then the long-run average operational cost is computed according to the stationary distribution of its embedded Markov chain. We then generalize the model to general series systems and use Monte Carlo simulations to approximate the maintenance cost. The optimal thresholds for reallocation and replacement are obtained from a stochastic response surface method with the stochastic kriging model. We further generalize the model to the scenario of unknown degradation rate associated with each slot. The proposed model is applied to the tire system of a car and the battery system of hybrid-electric vehicles, where we show that the reallocation policy is capable of significantly reducing the system long-run average operational cost.

description: We compare failure distributions of quantum error correction circuits for stochastic errors and coherent errors. We utilize a fully coherent simulation of a fault tolerant quantum error correcting circuit for a $d=3$ Steane and surface code. We find that the output distributions are markedly different for the two error models, showing that no simple mapping between the two error models exists. Coherent errors create very broad and heavy-tailed failure distributions. This suggests that they are susceptible to outlier events and that mean statistics, such as pseudo-threshold estimates, may not provide the key figure of merit. This provides further statistical insight into why coherent errors can be so harmful for quantum error correction. These output probability distributions may also provide a useful metric that can be utilized when optimizing quantum error correcting codes and decoding procedures for purely coherent errors.

description: The global evolution of protoplanetary disks (PPDs) has recently been shown to be largely controlled by the amount of poloidal magnetic flux threading the disk, which is further controlled by the poorly understood process of magnetic flux transport. In weakly ionized gas as in PPDs, magnetic flux is largely frozen in the electron fluid, except when resistivity is large. When the disk is largely laminar, we show that the relative drift between the electrons and ions (the Hall-drift), and the ions and neutral fluids (ambipolar-drift) can play a dominant role on the transport of magnetic flux. Using two-dimensional simulations that incorporate the Hall effect and ambipolar diffusion (AD) with prescribed diffusivities, we show that when large-scale poloidal field is aligned with disk rotation, the Hall effect rapidly drags magnetic flux inward at the midplane region, while it slowly pushes flux outward above/below the midplane. This leads to a highly radially elongated field configuration as a global manifestation of the Hall-shear instability. This field configuration further promotes rapid outward flux transport by AD at the midplane, leading to instability saturation. In quasi-steady state, magnetic flux is transported outward at approximately the same rate at all heights, and the rate is comparable to the Hall-free case. For anti-aligned field polarity, the Hall effect consistently transports magnetic flux outward, leading to a largely vertical field configuration in the midplane region. The field lines in the upper layer first bend radially inward and then outward to launch a disk wind. Overall, the net rate of outward flux transport is about twice faster than the aligned case. In addition, the rate of flux transport increases with increasing disk magnetization. The absolute rate of transport is sensitive to disk microphysics which remains to be explored in future studies.

description: We consider a system of equations for the description of nonlinear waves in a liquid with gas bubbles. Taking into account high order terms with respect to a small parameter, we derive a new nonlinear partial differential equation for the description of density perturbations of mixture in the two-dimensional case. We investigate integrability of this equation using the Painlevé approach. We show that travelling wave reduction of the equation is integrable under some conditions on parameters. Some exact solutions of the equation derived are constructed. We also perform numerical investigation of the nonlinear waves described by the derived equation.
Fluid physiology in the spinal cord and subarachnoid space with relevance to syringomyelia pathogenesis

description: There is mounting evidence that disruption of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation and CSF/interstitial fluid exchange is likely to contribute to a number of central nervous system disorders including syringomyelia. However, there is an incomplete understanding of the pathways of spinal fluid flux, in particular, fluid outflow. Moreover, the physiological factors that govern CSF flow in the spinal subarachnoid space (SAS) and fluid transport in the spinal cord have not been well studied. The aims in this thesis were to determine 1) the fluid outflow pathways in the normal spinal cord and 2) the effects of heart rate, blood pressure and respiration, specifically intrathoracic pressure, on fluid flow in the SAS, as well as into and out of the spinal interstitium. Fluorescent tracers were injected into the cisterna magna and the cervicothoracic spinal cord parenchyma of Sprague Dawley rats. Various fluorescence imaging techniques were performed either in vivo in real-time, or ex vivo in perfusion-fixed extracted brain and spinal cord specimens. The macroscopic and microscopic redistribution of tracer within and around the spinal cord, particularly in relationship to vascular structures, was characterised. To investigate the effects of respiration, heart rate and blood pressure on fluid dynamics, each physiological parameter was carefully controlled and separately manipulated. Free breathing animals (in which cycles of negative and positive intrathoracic pressure are generated) had significantly greater flow of CSF in the SAS as well as inflow of tracer into the spinal cord compared with mechanically ventilated control rats (positive intrathoracic pressure only). Hypertension and tachycardia had no significant effect on CSF flow in the SAS. Hypertension produced conflicting results but likely had a modest effect on inflow. Increased tracer influx was not observed with tachycardia. Both tachycardia and hypertension stimulated tracer efflux, but respiration was not found to affect spinal interstitial clearance. Spinal intramedullary movement of tracer was slow, and its redistribution was limited by isotropic and anisotropic properties of white and grey matter. Perivascular spaces of all vessel types provided preferential pathways for both tracer influx and efflux to pial and ependymal surfaces. Tracer deposited within the internal basement membrane of the tunica media of arteries and arterioles. Intrathoracic pressure has a significant effect on spinal CSF flow and parenchymal fluid ingress. Arterial pulsations play a smaller role in SAS hydrodynamics but have profound effects on spinal interstitial fluid homeostasis, particularly outflow -- abstract.

We have investigated the phase stability of Be using a recently developed hybrid free energy computation method that accounts for anharmonic effects by invoking phonon quasiparticles. We find that the hcp to bcc transition occurs near the melting curve at 0

Oral vocabulary and reading new words: examining the mispronunciation correction process

Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The irregularity of many words in English (e.g., yacht) can present problems for developing readers as they encounter new printed words. It is thought that when children cannot decode words easily, they use their oral vocabulary to help adjust a mispronounced word and that they may draw on other sources, such as sentence context, to assist. This thesis reviewed the literature on connections between oral vocabulary and word reading and on the process of mispronunciation correction to examine how children adjust partially decoded words. An empirical study then sought evidence for a mispronunciation correction mechanism operating dynamically as children read novel words in text. Year 5 children were orally trained on a set of novel words and then read them silently in sentences. Oral familiarity, regularity, and context were manipulated and children’s eye movements were monitored. The findings revealed that when children see orally known words for the first time in text, irregular words undergo additional processing compared to regular words, and are subsequently read aloud more accurately compared to untrained irregular words. These results are consistent with a mispronunciation correction mechanism being applied as children read novel words.

description: The effect of pinning on self-heating triggering the Larkin-Ovchinnikov (LO) flux-flow instability (FFI) in superconducting thin films is theoretically investigated. The problem is considered relying upon the Bezuglyj-Shklovskij (BS) generalization of the LO theory, accounting for a finite heat removal from the quasiparticles at temperature $T^\ast$ to the bath at temperature $T_0$. The FFI critical parameters, namely the current density $j^{\ast}$, the electric field $E^{\ast}$, the power density $P^{\ast}$, and the vortex velocity $v^{\ast}$ are calculated and graphically analyzed as functions of the magnetic field and the pinning strength. With increasing pinning strength at a fixed magnetic field value $E^{\ast}$ \emph{decreases}, $j^{\ast}$ \emph{increases}, while $P^{\ast}$ and $T^{\ast}$ \emph{remain practically constant}. Vortex pinning may hence be the cause for eventual discrepancies between experiments on superconductors with \emph{strong pinning} and the generalized LO and BS results.

description: Bovine αS1-casein (αS1-CN) is the main allergen in cow's milk, and immunoglobulin E (IgE) epitopes are the material basis to trigger allergic reactions. Thus, IgE epitopes could be as key targets for precise αS1-CN detection and allergenicity assessment. Here, we designed a tandem containing nine IgE linear epitopes of αS1-CN (tαS1-CN), expressed the recombinant tαS1-CN in Escherichia coli, and prepared the rabbit polyclonal antibody against recombinant tαS1-CN (pAb-tαS1-CN). The obtained recombinant tαS1-CN had a purity of 94.43% and retained the antigenicity and potential allergenicity of IgE epitopes. The pAb-tαS1-CN could recognize the nine IgE epitopes of αS1-CN, and also showed high specificity. The ability of pAb-tαS1-CN to evaluate the potential allergenicity of milk in foods was validated by sera from cow's milk allergy patients. These findings indicate that our prepared pAb-tαS1-CN may represents a valuable tool for the evaluation of milk allergenicity in processed foods.
Exact classification of NMR spectra from NMR signals

description: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is routinely used to study the properties of matter. Therefore, different materials can be classified according to their NMR spectra. However, the NMR spectra cannot be observed directly, and only the NMR signal, which is a sum of complex exponentials, is directly observable in practice. A popular approach to recover the spectrum is to perform harmonic retrieval, i.e., to reconstruct exactly the spectrum from the NMR signal. However, even when this approach fails, the spectrum might still be classified accurately. In this work, we model the spectrum as an atomic measure to study the performance of classifying the spectrum from the NMR signal, and to determine how it degrades in the presence of additive noise and changes in field intensity. Although we focus on NMR signals, our results are broadly applicable to sum-of-exponential signals. We show numerical results illustrating our claims.

description: The first direct detections of gravitational waves (GWs) from black hole (BH) mergers, GW150914, GW151226 and LVT151012, give a robust lower limit $\sim 70000$ on the number of merged, highly-spinning BHs in our Galaxy. The total spin energy is comparable to all the kinetic energy of supernovae that ever happened in our Galaxy. The BHs release the spin energy to relativistic jets by accreting matter and magnetic fields from the interstellar medium (ISM). By considering the distributions of the ISM density, BH mass and velocity, we calculate the luminosity function of the BH jets, and find that they can potentially accelerate TeV-PeV cosmic-ray particles in our Galaxy with total power $\sim 10^{37\pm 3}$ erg s$^{-1}$ as PeVatrons, positron factories and/or unidentified TeV gamma-ray sources. Additional $\sim 300$ BH jet nebulae could be detectable by CTA (Cherenkov Telescope Array). We also argue that the accretion from the ISM can evaporate and blow away cold material around the BH, which has profound implications for some scenarios to predict electromagnetic counterparts to BH mergers.

description: The requirement for a specific educational leader is relatively new to Australian ECEC settings and complexities have been observed regarding the implementation and purpose of the educational leader role. Previous research on the educational leader role has been limited and rarely included the experiences of educational leaders in preschool services. This mixed method study used the theory of practice architecture as a theoretical and analytical framework to investigate who the educational leaders of NSW preschools are, what they do and what supports them. The findings indicated that preschool educational leaders were experienced and educated. They were rewarded by the professional growth of other educators and challenged by limited time and ambiguous information about the educational leader role. Participants’ practices most frequently included casual talks and sharing research and resources and they found support for their role through training and their own research. Small differences were found in aspects of how directors and teacher educational leaders performed the role. Findings from this study show that if educational leaders are to be effective in improving practice in preschool settings more action is required to support educational leaders to lead and ECEC organisations and policy makers to champion educational leadership.

description: We present a theoretical study of the formation of self-trapped excitons (STEs) and the associated broadband emission in metal-halide perovskites Cs$_4$SnBr$_6$ and Cs$_2$AgInCl$_6$, using time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) with the dielectric-dependent hybrid (DDH) functional. Our approach allows for an accurate description of the excitonic effect and geometry relaxation in the electronic excited states and yields optical gap, STE emission energy, and emission spectra in reasonable agreement with experiments. We point out the significance of considering geometry relaxations in the electronic excited state by showing that the exciton-phonon coupling computed in the ground-state atomic geometry is insufficient to describe the physical properties of STEs. Overall, we find that TDDFT with the DDH hybrid functional is a suitable approach for the study of the formation of STEs in perovskite and provides insights for designing metal-halide perovskites with tailored emission properties.

description: Theoretical predictions of pressure-induced phase transformations often become long-standing enigmas because of limitations of contemporary available experimental possibilities. Hitherto the existence of a non-icosahedral boron allotrope has been one of them. Here we report on the first non-icosahedral boron allotrope, which we denoted as ζ-B, with the orthorhombic α-Ga-type structure (space group Cmce) synthesized in a diamond anvil cell at extreme high-pressure high-temperature conditions (115 GPa and 2100 K). The structure of ζ-B was solved using single-crystal synchrotron X-ray diffraction and its compressional behavior was studied in the range of very high pressures (115 GPa to 135 GPa). Experimental validation of theoretical predictions reveals the degree of our up-to-date comprehension of condensed matter and promotes further development of the solid state physics and chemistry.

Applications of the $k$-$ω$ model in stellar evolutionary models

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The $k$-$ω$ model for turbulence was first proposed by Kolmogorov (1942). A new $k$-$ω$ model for stellar convection was developed by Li (2012), which could reasonably describe turbulent convection not only in the convectively unstable zone but also in the overshooting regions. We have revised the $k$-$ω$ model by improving several model assumptions (including the macro-length of turbulence, convective heat flux, and turbulent mixing diffusivity, etc.), making it applicable for not only convective envelopes but also convective cores. Eight parameters are introduced in the revised $k$-$ω$ model. It should be noted that the Reynolds stress (turbulent pressure) is neglected in the equation of hydrostatic support. We have applied it into solar models and 5$M_{\odot}$ stellar models, in order to calibrate the eight model parameters, as well as to investigate the effects of the convective overshooting on the sun and intermediate mass stellar models.

description: Recent lattice QCD calculations of direct CP violation in $K_L \to ππ$ decays indicate tension with the experimental results. Assuming this tension to be real, we investigate a possible beyond-the-Standard Model explanation via right-handed charged currents. By using chiral perturbation theory in combination with lattice QCD results, we accurately calculate the modification of $ε'/ε$ induced by right-handed charged currents and extract values of the couplings that are necessary to explain the discrepancy, pointing to a scale around $10^2$ TeV. We find that couplings of this size are not in conflict with constraints from other precision experiments, but next-generation hadronic electric dipole moment searches (such as neutron and ${}^{225}$Ra) can falsify this scenario. We work out in detail a direct link, based on chiral perturbation theory, between CP violation in the kaon sector and electric dipole moments induced by right-handed currents which can be used in future analyses of left-right symmetric models.

BeppoSAX observations of XTE J1946+274

description: We report on the BeppoSAX monitoring of a giant outburst of the transient X-ray pulsar XTE J1946+274 in 1998. The source was detected with a flux of ~ 4 x 10^(-9) erg cm^(-2) s^(-1) (in 0.1 - 120 keV range). The broadband spectrum, typical for accreting pulsars, is well described by a cutoff power law with a cyclotron resonance scattering feature (CRSF) at ~ 38 keV. This value is consistent with earlier reports based on the observations with Suzaku at factor of ten lower luminosity, which implies that the feature is formed close to the neutron star surface rather than in the accretion column. Pulsations with P ~ 15.82 s were observed up to ~ 70 keV. The pulse profile strongly depends on energy and is characterised by a "soft" and a "hard" peaks shifted by half period, which suggests a strong phase dependence of the spectrum, and that two components with roughly orthogonal beam patterns are responsible for the observed pulse shape. This conclusion is supported by the fact that the CRSF, despite its relatively high energy, is only detected in the spectrum of the soft peak of the pulse profile. Along with the absence of correlation of the line energy with luminosity, this could be explained in the framework of the recently proposed "reflection" model for CRSF formation. However more detailed modelling of both line and continuum formation are required to confirm this interpretation.

description: The extremely high carrier mobility and the unique band structure, make graphene very useful for field-effect transistor applications. According to several works, the primary limitation to graphene based transistor performance is not related to the material quality, but to extrinsic factors that affect the electronic transport properties. One of the most important parasitic element is the contact resistance appearing between graphene and the metal electrodes functioning as the source and the drain. Ohmic contacts to graphene, with low contact resistances, are necessary for injection and extraction of majority charge carriers to prevent transistor parameter fluctuations caused by variations of the contact resistance. The International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors, toward integration and down-scaling of graphene electronic devices, identifies as a challenge the development of a CMOS compatible process that enables reproducible formation of low contact resistance. However, the contact resistance is still not well understood despite it is a crucial barrier towards further improvements. In this paper, we review the experimental and theoretical activity that in the last decade has been focusing on the reduction of the contact resistance in graphene transistors. We will summarize the specific properties of graphene-metal contacts with particular attention to the nature of metals, impact of fabrication process, Fermi level pinning, interface modifications induced through surface processes, charge transport mechanism, and edge contact formation.

description: We demonstrate reconfigurable phase-only computer-generated metasurface holograms with one, two, or three image planes operating in the visible regime on a stretchable polydimethylsiloxane substrate. Stretching the substrate enlarges the hologram image and changes the location of the image plane. Upon stretching, these devices can switch the displayed holographic image between multiple distinct images. This work opens up the possibilities for stretchable metasurface holograms as flat devices for dynamically reconfigurable optical communication and display. It also confirms that metasurfaces on stretchable substrates can serve as platform for a variety of reconfigurable optical devices.

description: We present sensitive 3.0 cm JVLA radio continuum observations of six regions of low-mass star formation that include twelve young brown dwarfs and four young brown dwarf candidates. We detect a total of 49 compact radio sources in the fields observed, of which 24 have no reported counterparts and are considered new detections. Twelve of the radio sources show variability in timescales of weeks to months, suggesting gyrosynchrotron emission produced in active magnetospheres. Only one of the target brown dwarfs, FU Tau A, was detected. However, we detected radio emission associated with two of the brown dwarf candidates, WL 20S and CHLT 2. The radio flux densities of the sources associated with these brown dwarf candidates are more than an order of magnitude larger than expected for a brown dwarf and suggest a revision of their classification. In contrast, FU Tau A falls on the well-known correlation between radio luminosity and bolometric luminosity, suggesting that the emission comes from a thermal jet and that this brown dwarf seems to be forming as a scaled-down version of low-mass stars.
