description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the Department of Social Inquiry, College of Arts, Social Sciences and Commerce, La Trobe University, Victoria, Australia.

Sadomasochism represents both the mark of interdiction and its transgression. The erotic suffering and social ruptures effected by this confrontation are invoked in literature, cinema and subcultural movements. Through a critical approach to sadomasochism as reflected in these cultural forms, this thesis explores the emergence and the promise of transgression as the manifestation of a critical attitude. The thesis analyses this through a series of in-depth studies into sadomasochism in Western culture to illuminate its continuous confrontation with and challenge to norms, moral precepts and laws of social existence. The thesis utilises theories of transgression that exerted a profound influence on French thought of the 1960s and 1970s. For Georges Bataille, and the generation of influential thinkers that followed, the changing horizon of knowledge consisted in the elaboration of a critical discourse on the limits of human subjectivity and experimentations with the possibility of going beyond them. Through engagement with the work of Bataille, Julia Kristeva and Michel Foucault, this thesis interrogates different operationalisations of the concept of transgression. Of particular interest are their critiques of the subject and of Enlightenment rationalism. In consequence, the writings of Kristeva and Bataille enable an analysis of an interior experience that undermines symbolic coherence in order to attain transgression. Additionally, consideration of transgression via the work of Foucault allows for an analysis of contemporary subjects who apply the terms sadism and masochism to their own practices, forging an aesthetics of existence. The thesis argues that from a position of sexual non-conformity – which includes but is not reduced to pleasure – sadomasochism has been the impetus for exploration of new cultural directions, engendering new kinds of social and sexual relations. From this perspective, the subversive and creative potential of sadomasochism is understood as a valid mode of resistance to specific forms of rationality and socially imposed limits.

This thesis was a recipient of the Nancy Millis Award for theses of exceptional merit.

description: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant primary brain tumour in adults, with a median survival time of approximately ~15 months after diagnosis. GBM stem cells (GSCs) underpin GBM’s aggressiveness, resistance to radiation and chemotherapy, and disease recurrence. Glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) are capable of tumour formation upon orthotopic transplantation into immunocompromised mice and share many properties of neural stem cells (NSCs). One feature common to both GSCs and NSCs is high expression of the transcription factor SOX2. SOX2 is known to be essential for GCS self-renewal. To understand further how SOX2 exerts its function in GSCs, the Pollard laboratory studied the interactome of SOX2. Using SICAP-MS – a method that looks at the on-chromatin interactors of the protein of interest – the Pollard laboratory have identified MYEF2 as a candidate interacting partner. MYEF2 contains multiple RNA binding domains and is expressed primarily in the brain and testis. Here I explored the function of MYEF2 within NSCs and GSCs. I confirm Myef2 is expressed within the brain, however was not specifically enriched in stem cell containing regions. CRISPR/Cas9 mediated knock-in of mCherry and HA to Myef2 was successfully carried out in mouse NSCs. We observed that MYEF2 is a nuclear protein which retains nuclear localisation and expression in both proliferative and quiescence NSCs, as well as differentiating progeny. During mitosis, unlike SOX2, MYEF2 is not retained on the mitotic chromatin indicating it is not a “bookmarking” factor. CRISPR/Cas9 mediated knock-out of Myef2 suggests that although it is not essential for the continued proliferation of GSCs, it has a role in regulating the exit from quiescence. Consistent with this, in Myef2 knock-out mouse GSCs, the rate of tumour progression is slower, and mice have a significant survival advantage, suggesting there is an important role for Myef2 in driving tumour growth. In this thesis, I also describe the use of SMASh tag degron technology to precisely control the degradation of SOX2 in mouse NSCs. SMASh, a drug degradable selfcleaving degron, was fused to the C-terminal of endogenous SOX2 in mouse NSCs. We find that this works well and can therefore be a powerful tool in future studies of GSCs.

description: Ubiquitous technology platforms have been created to track and improve health and fitness; similar technologies can help individuals monitor and reduce their carbon footprints. This paper proposes CarbonKit, a platform combining technology, markets, and incentives to empower and reward people for reducing their carbon footprint. We argue that a goal-and-reward behavioral feedback loop can be combined with the Big Data available from tracked activities, apps, and social media to make CarbonKit an integral part of individuals daily lives. CarbonKit comprises five modules that link personal carbon tracking, health and fitness, social media, and economic incentives. Protocols for safeguarding security, privacy and individuals control over their own data are essential to the design of the CarbonKit. Initially CarbonKit would operate on a voluntary basis, but such a system can also serve as part of a mandatory region-wide initiative. We use the example of the British Columbia to illustrate the regulatory framework and participating stakeholders that would be required to support the CarbonKit in specific jurisdictions.

description: This thesis deals with the investigation of the proton conductivity in the polymer electrolyte membranes (PEMs) using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS). A variety of parameters viz. testing method (through-plane, in-plane), electrode configuration (2-probe, 4-probe), ac amplitude, frequency range, etc. were optimized to get standard impedance spectral features for extracting the true conductivity of the membranes. BDS was used to investigate the polymer chain dynamics at high temperatures under an applied potential and the consequent effects on the proton conductivity; Nafion-117, sulfonated polysulfone, sulfonated polyetherketone and phosphoric acid-doped poly(2,5-benzimidazole) membranes were used for the above mentioned studies.

Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the School of Nursing and Midwifery, College of Science, Health and Engineering, La Trobe University, Victoria, Australia.

This thesis presents a Grounded Theory study of nurses‟ perceptions of quality nursing care in the Dementia Specific Care Unit. Dementia is a progressive, degenerative neurological disease with currently, no cure (World Health Organization WHO), 2017b). Currently, more than 24 million people globally live with dementia and this figure is forecast to rise to 135.5 million by 2050 (Backhaus, Verbeek, van Rossum, Capezuti, and Hamers, 2014; McGilton et al., 2016; Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia, 2018). Registered Nurses, Nurse managers, educators, researchers, healthcare organisations and policymakers appear to have differing views of just what constitutes quality nursing care in the Dementia Specific Care Unit, with no clear definition apparent (V. Parker et al., 2019). Understanding how Registered Nurses perceive quality nursing care in the Dementia Specific Care Unit is important and will provide valuable information about nursing practice in this environment for nurses and decision makers. This Grounded Theory study aimed to understand the Registered Nurses‟ perception of quality nursing care in Dementia Specific Care Units. The study involved interviewing nine Registered Nurses working in Dementia Specific Care Units in Queensland, Australia. Data was collected during semi-structured interviews and then analysed using the constant comparative method, in line with Grounded Theory methodology (Glaser and Strauss, 1967). The data revealed the complexity of delivering quality nursing care in Dementia Specific Care Units and the challenges nurses faced daily in the delivery of that care. The themes identified from the data are Caring at the Coalface, Labour of Love and The Business of Dementia Healthcare. The theory generated from this study is: Nurses perceive quality nursing care in the Dementia Specific Care Unit to be care that is person centred, timely, skilled, supported and rewarding.

description: Conventional AI-based service flow remains a challenge for IoT-enabled devices since data collected by local clients are transferred to a centralized server, which contains a global machine learning (ML) model. However, this introduces privacy and security concerns for the clients. Federated Learning is positioned to overcome this problem where each client trains a local model with its local data and shares its model parameters with the centralized server instead of sharing data. Upon receiving all parameters, it aggregates them and generates a new global model. Later this global model is distributed among the clients. Various aggregation methods have been published for increasing the global model's accuracy performance after aggregation. However, those new aggregation algorithms must be thoroughly investigated under malicious and collaborative environments. A malicious environment is a scenario where malicious clients are present and can share parameters to degrade the aggregated model performance. On the other hand, the collaborative environment is another scenario in which some clients can share information to collaborate. Therefore, if benign clients receive data from malicious clients in collaborations, it degrades its performance and makes it partially malicious, which is also harmful to server aggregation. To tackle this issue, we investigate a new aggregation method called Score Based Aggregation (SBA) That aims to mitigate the impact of the model parameters from such malicious clients without compromising the training accuracy. Also, we develop another method for eliminating entirely malicious clients from aggregation by the unsupervised clustering algorithm. Finally, we compare our result to a baseline approach where the malicious client varies from 20\% to 50\%. Numerical results suggest that the SBA aggregation and unsupervised clustering help the model maintain the convergence of accuracy at higher levels in comparison to the baseline approach.
Simulation and Modeling Modeling of Syngas Production via Glycerol Dry Reforming Using Aspen plus
Creators: name: Ali, Hassen
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: The surfeit of crude glycerol as by product from biodiesel industry triggered alternative routes to valorise glycerol to value added fuels such as syngas, mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Dry reforming of glycerol uses carbon dioxide (CO2) as reactant to produce syngas. The process of glycerol dry reforming has been simulated and the effect of thermodynamic properties on yield, selectivity and conversion were studied and optimized with the aid of ASPEN PLUS V8.8 in this paper. The process of simulating glycerol dry reforming was carried out using RGIBBS and RPLUG reactor types. The sensitivity analysis and the optimization of the process were accomplished using the sensitivity and optimization sections of the model analysis tools of the ASPEN PLUS. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis was carried out to observe the effect of several parameters. The kinetic data for glycerol dry reforming and water gas shift reactions were obtained from literature. The kinetic based simulation was performed using ASPEN PLUS RPLUG model blocks with rearranged Power law and Langmuir-Hinshelwood-Hougen –Watson (LHHW). The result obtained revealed that the simulation with RGIBBS and RPLUG gave different values of components. Furthermore, it was revealed from sensitivity analysis of the process that optimization was necessary to obtain the operating variable that would involved in the process. Optimization was able to give a satisfactory value of conversion of glycerol, carbon dioxide for reforming and carbon monoxide and water for water gas shift reaction. However, much has been reported about thermodynamic analysis of steam reforming of glycerol, little is known about thermodynamic analysis of glycerol dry reforming. In this regard, in the current work, with Aspen plus simulator glycerol dry reforming thermodynamic analysis is carried out. The effect of process such as: temperature, pressure, length of the reactor, catalyst particle density, and feed ratio to the reactor performance were investigated. Based on this the yield of syngas was 92% over the range of temperature 573 -1273K whereas, over the range of pressure 1-30 bar and feed ratio 1-5; the yield of syngas were 50% and 51.24% respectively
Advances in image-based quantitative measurements in biological imaging

description: The greatest innovations in microscopy now occur after image acquisition. Digital image processing techniques continue to improve microscopy driving scientific discovery in the 21st century. This thesis presents original knowledge in the development of advanced digital processing methods for quantification of the three distinct physical attributes of shape, motion and force. A key area in microscopy is imaging of biological samples with low contrast. This thesis presents an alternative three-dimensional tomographic microscopy method, termed Refractive Index Tomography (RIT), which uses the refractive properties of the specimen for imaging without the need for fluorescent labels. RIT uses a straightforward, low-cost optical setup with an algorithm applicable to both visible light and X-ray-based microscopy, further demonstrating the versatility of software over hardware in the modern microscope. Motion and flow are increasingly being understood to play a large role across a wide range of biological processes. Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is an image-based technique developed for fluid dynamics research, and has recently gained interest amongst biological researchers for studies involving the quantification of biological motion and flow. However, limitations in optical setup and access to the region of interest compromises image quality through low light, low contrast and uneven illumination. This thesis presents two processes for refining PIV by addressing these issues. The first is a hybrid averaging process that combines and optimises two averaging methods to reduce the effect of image noise on flow measures. The second is Polynomial Element Velocimetry, a completely new variant of PIV designed for quantifying flow and flow gradients in complex biological flows from images with limited resolution and contrast. Quantification and characterisation of the role of biomechanical forces in early embryonic development is of increasing interest to researchers. This thesis develops a novel technique to quantify cortical tensile forces in living mouse embryos. Four-dimensional cell segmentation and tracking were used to demonstrate that inter-cellular forces within the embryo are required for the formation of viable embryos. This critical advancement in evidence suggests mechanical forces may be used to control pluripotency of embryonic stem cells needed for tissue regeneration and treatment of disease. Advances from image processing software have enabled the capture of dramatically more functional information over what is possible with hardware alone. The studies presented in this thesis represent developments in image processing that will continue to drive digital microscopy, from visualisation of structures into an increasingly powerful tool for quantification of physical processes.

description: Quantum fluids of light are an emerging tool employed in quantum many-body physics. Their amazing properties and versatility allow using them in a wide variety of fields including gravitation, quantum information and simulation. However the implications of the quantum nature of light in the nonlinear optical propagation are still missing many features. We theoretically predict classical spontaneous squeezing of a photon fluid in a nonlocal nonlinear medium. By using the so called Gamow vectors, we show that the quadratures of a coherent state get squeezed and that a maximal squeezing power exists. Our analysis holds true for temporal and spatial optical propagation in highly nonlocal regime. These results open a new scenario in quantum photon fluids and may lead to novel applications in fields like metrology and analogues of quantum gravity.

Identification of non-coding RNA interactions that dictate Staphylococcus aureus virulence

description: Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium which has gathered much attention over the past decade due to the emergence of both antibiotic-resistant and hyper-aggressive strains. These pose a signiﬁcant threat to human health, particularly to individuals already weakened through other illnesses. When S. aureus enters the human bloodstream, it must adapt in order to survive the challenging conditions faced. In particular, it must respond to the nutritional environment of the blood which is depleted in essential cofactors such as free iron. Additionally, S. aureus must survive attacks from the host immune system which will attempt to kill the invader through phagocytes and the production of antibodies. Theworkcarriedouthereaimedtounderstandhowsmall,non-codingRNAs(sRNAs) regulate S. aureus’ adaptation to the host bloodstream. These sRNAs are typically associated with regulating the translational efﬁciency and stability of mRNAs. Through use of a technique called “UV cross-linking, ligation and sequencing of hybrids” (CLASH), I identiﬁed novel targets of many sRNAs. In particular, I studied how RsaA, an sRNA involved in membrane homeostasis, regulates the translation of a transmembrane transporter involved in antiseptic and antibiotic resistance. Additionally, I identiﬁed interactions between RsaE, an sRNA involved in metabolism, and several toxin mRNAs from the phenol-soluble modulin class. This is a novel example of the direct link between cellular metabolism and virulence. However, the most striking ﬁnding was that not only do sRNAs target mRNAs, but that they also target each other. I focused on two distinct sRNA – sRNA interactions; one between RsaA and RNAIII, and another between RsaE and RsaOG. The interaction between RsaE and RsaOG is an example of a so-called ’sponging interaction’, where RsaOG is able to antagonise the activity of RsaE. This has the effect of freeing RsaE’s targets from their regulation. I hypothesise that this ultimately induces the necessary metabolic changes required in order to survive the immediate nutritional stresses incurred after entering the bloodstream. Regarding RsaA and RNAIII, I hypothesise that this interaction is responsible for balancing virulent versus dormant behaviour. I suggest that RsaA is able to induce the destruction of RNAIII in order to steer the cell away from aggressive behaviour and into a more latent state. Additionally, the interaction between these two sRNAs also appears to operate on exquisitely short timescales, demonstrating how capable bacteria are at adapting to stresses. Ultimately, this work suggests that interactions between sRNAs are likely to be widespread and form a crucial aspect of stress responses in general. The experiments detailed herein have certainly not exhausted the produced data and I suspect that it will be utilised further in the future.
Visualising the 'slow violence' of climate change in Paul Beatty's The Sellout (2016)

description: This presentation explains how Paul Beatty's novel The Sellout (2016) illuminates the 'slow violence' of climate change at local and global scales. Coined by Rob Nixon in 2011, slow violence refers to forms of environmental degradation - like air pollution - that lack the spectacle of extreme weather events but are, in some cases, no less harmful to vulnerable populations. These inhabited hazards disproportionately impact the most marginalised communities, often low-income people and minorities. I show how Beatty represents slow violence in his depiction of the toxic pollution that afflicts the (fictional) mostly African American neighbourhood of Dickens in South-Central Los Angeles, revealing how the written form of the novel can capture the damaging consequences of fossil fuel modernity. My ultimate contention is that a region-specific analysis of environmental harm in contemporary fiction can expose not just local but global patterns of injustice in our age of accelerating climate change.
Synthesis and magnetic characterization of organically-capped gold nanoparticles
Creators: name: Zhang, Hao
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) have been widely studied because of their novel optical, electrochemical, catalytic, biocompatible and excellent shelf store properties which play important roles in applications. The ferromagnetism, which may widen the potential applications in spintronics, magnetic and magneto-electronic devices, has been discovered in organically-protected Au NPs. Particle size and ligand capping effects are important in the induction of ferromagnetism. However, it is difficult to control these parameters independently by the traditional Brust method. Hence, a new two-step process has been developed to synthesize ferromagnetic Au NPs in this project to clarify the effects separately as complement of the traditional Brust method. To reveal the mechanism of ferromagnetic thiolate-capped Au NPs, various experimental methods and the density functional theory (DFT) calculations are applied. Furthermore, the fine surface morphology of Au adatom is experimentally observed and simulated by DFT calculations. They reveal the contribution of adatom in ferromagnetism and the details of electronic structure. In addition, the electronic transport properties, which are important in potential applications, are investigated after replacing thiol molecules by polythiolphene which is a well-known conductive polymer.

description: Visual analysis is well adopted within the field of oceanography for the analysis of model simulations, detection of different phenomena and events, and tracking of dynamic processes. With increasing data sizes and the availability of multivariate dynamic data, there is a growing need for scalable and extensible tools for visualization and interactive exploration. We describe pyParaOcean, a visualization system that supports several tasks routinely used in the visual analysis of ocean data. The system is available as a plugin to Paraview and is hence able to leverage its distributed computing capabilities and its rich set of generic analysis and visualization functionalities. pyParaOcean provides modules to support different visual analysis tasks specific to ocean data, such as eddy identification and salinity movement tracking. These modules are available as Paraview filters and this seamless integration results in a system that is easy to install and use. A case study on the Bay of Bengal illustrates the utility of the system for the study of ocean phenomena and processes.
