description: Ocean-atmosphere chemistry on Earth has undergone dramatic evolutionary changes through its long history, with potentially significant ramifications for the emergence and long-term stability of atmospheric biosignatures. Though a great deal of work has centered on refining our understanding of false positives for remote life detection, much less attention has been paid to the possibility of false negatives, that is, cryptical biospheres that are widespread and active on a planet's surface but are ultimately undetectable or difficult to detect in the composition of a planet's atmosphere. Here, we summarize recent developments from geochemical proxy records and Earth system models that provide insight into the long-term evolution of the most readily detectable potential biosignature gases on Earth - oxygen (O2), ozone (O3), and methane (CH4). We suggest that the canonical O2-CH4 disequilibrium biosignature would perhaps have been challenging to detect remotely during Earth's ~4.5 billion year history and that in general atmospheric O2/O3 levels have been a poor proxy for the presence of Earth's biosphere for all but the last ~500 million years. We further suggest that detecting atmospheric CH4 would have been problematic for most of the last ~2.5 billion years of Earth's history. More broadly, we stress that internal oceanic recycling of biosignature gases will often render surface biospheres on ocean-bearing silicate worlds cryptic, with the implication that the planets most conducive to the development and maintenance of a pervasive biosphere will often be challenging to characterize via conventional atmospheric biosignatures.

description: We consider a sample of 412 galaxies with radial velocities $V_{\rm LG} < 2500$ km s$^{-1}$ situated in the sky region of ${\rm RA}=13^h\hspace{-0.4em}.\,0$ ... $19^h\hspace{-0.4em}.\,0$, ${\rm Dec}=+10^{\circ}$ ... $+40^{\circ}$ between the Local Void and the Supergalactic plane. One hundred and eighty-one of them have individual distance estimates. Peculiar velocities of the galaxies as a function of Supergalactic latitude SGB show signs of Virgocentric infall at $SGB < 10^{\circ}$ and motion from the Local Void at $SGB > 60^{\circ}$. A half of the Hercules-Bootes galaxies belong to 17 groups and 29 pairs, with the richest group around NGC5353. A typical group is characterized by the velocity dispersion of $67$ km s$^{-1}$, the harmonic radius of $182$ kpc, the stellar mass of $4.3 \times10^{10} M_{\odot}$ and the virial-to-stellar mass ratio of $32$. The binary galaxies have the mean radial velocity difference of $37$ km s$^{-1}$, the projected separation of $96$ kpc, the mean integral stellar mass of $2.6\times 10^9 M_{\odot}$ and the mean virial-to-stellar mass ratio of about $8$. The total dark-matter-to-stellar mass ratio in the considered sky region amounts to $37$ being almost the same as that in the Local Volume.

(CR6) Visual and Quantitative Assessment of FDG PET/CT in Young-Onset Alzheimer Disease
Creators: name: Arumugam, Kavita
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Introduction: Alzheimer's disease is the most prevalent form of dementia, which mostly affects older patients over the age of 65 (late-onset); nevertheless, around 4% of patients suffer from early-onset dementia (Baillon et al., 2019). The latter, accounts for around 30% of dementia cases in Southeast Asia (Vipin et al., 2021). Pathophysiology of Alzheimer disease often linked with extracellular senile plaques and intracellular neural fibrillary tangles (NFT). However, in young-onset Alzheimer disease it is mostly due autosomal dominant genetic mutation involving Amyloid precursor protein (APP), presenilin 1 (PSEN1) as well as presenilin 2 (PSEN2) genes (Van Giau et al., 2019). Case Presentation : This is a case of 40-year-old young lady presented cognitive decline and behavioural change. FDG PET-CT revealed hypometabolism at bilateral temporal- parietal, bilateral precuneus, bilateral posterior cingulate and bilateral occipital with sparing of the bilateral primary sensorimotor cortex and bilateral primary visual cortex. Her Z-scores at the aforementioned areas were positive (elevated) when compared with general normal data base. Conclusion : Neuroimaging using FDG PET/CT is a central part of diagnostic work up of Alzheimer disease as it can reveal pathological changes even before morphological changes. Signature pattern of FDG hypometabolism at the bilateral temporal-parietal, posterior cingulate and precuneus regions shown on brain PET/CT scan of our patients helps in further supporting the diagnosis young-onset Alzheimer as the cause of. Furthermore, the incorporation of quantitative measurement of Z score (analytical software) by Cortex ID Suite, GE healthcare improved the diagnostic accuracy of our neuroimaging.

description: To investigate the influencing factors of ultrasound-guided HIFU (USgHIFU) ablation for adenomyosis with a non-perfused volume ratio (NPVR)≥50%. A total of 299 patients with adenomyosis who underwent USgHIFU ablation were enrolled. Quantitative signal intensity (SI) analysis was performed on T2WI and dynamic enhancement type. The energy efficiency factor (EEF) was defined as the ultrasound energy delivered for ablating 1 mm3 of tissue. NPVR ≥ 50% was used as the criterion for technical success. Adverse effects and complications were recorded. Logistic regression analyses of variables were conducted to identify the factors affecting NPVR ≥ 50%. The median NPVR was 53.5% (34.7%). There were 159 cases in the NPVR ≥ 50% group and 140 cases in the NPVR < 50% group. The EEF in NPVR < 50.0% group was significantly higher than that in NPVR ≥ 50% group (p < 0.05). The incidence of intraoperative adverse effects and postoperative adverse events in the NPVR < 50% group were higher than those in the NPVR ≥ 50% group (p < 0.05 for both). Logistic regression analysis showed that abdominal wall thickness, SI difference on T2WI between adenomyosis and rectus abdominis, and enhancement type on T1WI were protective factors for NPVR ≥ 50% (p < 0.05), while the history of childbirth was an independent risk factor (p < 0.001). Compared with NPVR < 50%, NPVR ≥ 50% did not increase the intraprocedural and postprocedural adverse reactions. The possibility of NPVR ≥ 50% was higher in patients with thinner abdominal walls, showed slight enhancement of adenomyosis on T1WI, with a history of childbirth, or in whom the SI difference on T2WI between adenomyosis and rectus abdominis was more minor.

Homotopy theory of Grothendieck ∞-groupoids and ∞-categories
Creators: name: Lanari, Edoardo
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This work investigates the homotopy theory of globular models for higher categorical structures. In particular, we focus on weak ∞-groupoids, but most of the constructions can be performed also for weak ∞-categories, and we explicitly mention this when appropriate. Motivated by Grothendieck’s homotopy hypothesis, we study algebraic models of homotopy types in the form of ∞-groupoids, and we address the problem of constructing a path object for these structures, after having introduced their homotopy theory. In detail, we define (trivial) cofibrations and (trivial) fibrations of ∞-groupoids, and prove some basic facts about the induced factorization systems. The construction of a path-object endofunctor is a highly non-trivial task, and the first step we take is to characterize those globular theories whose category of models can be endowed with cofibrantly generated semi-model structure of a precise form, and we also give a sufficient condition for this to happen, based on the existence of a path object endofunctor. We then construct the underlying globular set of this path object based on the notion of cylinders, and show how to endow it with systems of structures, involving compositions, identities and inverses. Using the combinatorics of finite planar rooted trees we construct an approximation of the algebraic structure needed for the construction of the path object and we introduce modifications to “correct” this approximation in low dimensions, and we thus interpret all operations of dimension less than or equal to 2. Finally, we manage to complete this construction for the finite-dimensional case of Grothendieck 3-groupoids, thanks to the introduction of a bicategory of cylinders and modifications. We thus establish a semi-model structure on this category, which is conjectured to model homotopy 3-types.

description: To assess the utility of Sonazoid contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for guiding percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) for colorectal liver metastases (CRLMs). The medical records of patients who had undergone ultrasound (US)-guided percutaneous MWA between July 2020 and June 2022, were reviewed. Propensity score matching (PSM) with a ratio of 1:1 was used to balance the potential bias between the grayscale US-guided and Sonazoid CEUS-guided groups. Local tumor progression (LTP), intrahepatic recurrence (IR), and complication rates were compared between the two groups. Of 252 patients enrolled, 247 achieved complete ablation, and the technical effectiveness was 98.0% (247/252). Of these 247 patients, 158 were in the grayscale US-guided group and 89 in the Sonazoid CEUS-guided group. The median follow-up period was 14.6 months. After PSM, there were no significant differences in LTP, IR, or complication rates between the two groups (p = 0.100, p = 0.511, p > 0.99, respectively). Multivariate analysis identified tumor size ≥ 3 cm (hazard ratio [HR], 7.945; 95% CI, 2.591-24.370; p < 0.001), perivascular (HR, 2.331; 95% CI, 1.068-5.087; p = 0.034), and tumor depth > 8 cm (HR, 3.194; 95% CI, 1.439-7.091; p = 0.004) as significant factors associated with LTP. For tumors with poor vision on grayscale US, Sonazoid CEUS-guided ablation achieved a better LTP rate than grayscale US-guided ablation (3.7% vs.14.8%, p = 0.032). For tumors with poor vision on grayscale US, Sonazoid CEUS guidance is recommended for better local tumor control.
Number-unconstrained quantum sensing

description: Quantum sensing is commonly described as a constrained optimization problem: maximize the information gained about an unknown quantity using a limited number of particles. Important sensors including gravitational-wave interferometers and some atomic sensors do not appear to fit this description, because there is no external constraint on particle number. Here we develop the theory of particle-number-unconstrained quantum sensing, and describe how optimal particle numbers emerge from the competition of particle-environment and particle-particle interactions. We apply the theory to optical probing of an atomic medium modeled as a resonant, saturable absorber, and observe the emergence of well-defined finite optima without external constraints. The results contradict some expectations from number-constrained quantum sensing, and show that probing with squeezed beams can give a large sensitivity advantage over classical strategies, when each is optimized for particle number.

Commodity price exposures of Chinese steel producers
Creators: name: Yu, Evonne Hui
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Important financial risks facing Chinese steel producers include steel, iron ore and coking coal price risks. This thesis estimates the exposures to these financial risks for 31 publicly listed Chinese steel producers between 2008 and 2015. Furthermore, this thesis investigates the impact of a regime shift from long-term to short-term pricing contracts on iron ore exposures. Iron ore prices have become increasingly volatile since this regime shift. Steel producers are expected to be exposed to iron ore prices, one of the key inputs for steelmaking. As the world’s largest group of steel producers, Chinese steel producers rely heavily on iron ore imports, due to the undersupply of high quality iron ore from the Chinese domestic region. This study examines the commodity price exposures facing Chinese steel producers. In particular, it investigates their exposures to iron ore prices and how these exposures have changed since the iron ore pricing regime shift in 2010. The study finds that Chinese steel producers are in general positively exposed to steel priceand negatively exposed to iron ore price, but natural hedge exists between iron ore andsteel. In addition, the impact of regime shift on iron exposures only becomes significant when longer horizon data are analysed.

We employ the NGSL space-based stellar library to compute spectra of single-age, single-metallicity stellar populations in the wavelength range from 1680 to 3540A. These models represent a significant improvement in resolution and age/metallicity coverage over previous studies based on earlier space-based libraries. These model spectra were joined with those we computed in the visible using MILES, and other empirical libraries for redder wavelengths. The models span the metallicity range -1.79

description: In this work, the occurrence of contaminants in drinking water sources was described in relation to their treatment options based on both conventional (e.g., coagulation-flocculation, sedimentation filtration, and chlorination) and advanced treatment techniques (e.g., membrane filtration, ozonation, and biofiltration). However, due to apparent drawbacks of these methods (e.g., formation of disinfection by-products (DBPs)), it is desirable to develop an alternative option for safe drinking water. In this respect, biochar is recognized as an effective candidate to resolve the limitations in treating common pollutants typically occurring in drinking water such as microbial contaminants, inorganic contaminants, heavy metals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), and endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). As biochar can exhibit different types of interactions with adsorbates, its sorption processes can be explained by diverse mechanisms, e.g., π-π electron donor-acceptor interactions, complexation, precipitation, H-bonding, and electrostatic attraction. In light of the attractive features of biochar (e.g., enhanced sorption properties, cost-effectiveness, and environmentally friendly nature), we offer in-depth discussion on biochar-based water treatment technologies for large-scale water purification operation.HighlightsOccurrence of various contaminants in drinking water sources are discussed.Human health impacts of exposure to drinking water contaminants are highlighted.Performances and limitations of conventional and advanced water treatment technologies are discussed.Potentials of pristine and modified biochars for drinking water purification are emphasized.Feasibility and importance of biochar-based large-scale water treatment technologies are highlighted.

description: Mm-sized LiMn$_{1-x}$Fe$_x$PO$_4$ single crystals with $0\leq x \leq 1$ were grown by means of the traveling floating-zone technique at elevated Argon pressure of 30~bar. For the various doping levels, the growth process was optimized with respect to the composition-dependant effective light absorption and transparency of the materials. A convex crystal/melt interface, determined by the angle of incident light, was identified to be particularly crucial for a successful growth. The resulting large single crystalline grains are stoichiometric. Structure refinement shows that lattice parameters as well as the atomic positions and bond lengths linearly depend on the Mn:Fe-ratio. Oriented cuboidal samples with several mm$^3$ of volume were used for magnetic studies which imply an antiferromagnetic ground state for all compositions. The Néel-temperature changes from $T_N$ = 32.5(5) K in LiMnPO$_4$ to 49.5(5) K in LiFePO$_4$ while the easy magnetic axis in the ordered phase flips from the crystallographic $a$- to the $b$-axis upon Fe-doping of $x<0.2$.
Transit Detection of a "Starshade" at the Inner Lagrange Point of an Exoplanet

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: All water-covered rocky planets in the inner habitable zones of solar-type stars will inevitably experience a catastrophic runaway climate due to increasing stellar luminosity and limits to outgoing infrared radiation from wet greenhouse atmospheres. Reflectors or scatterers placed near Earth's inner Lagrange point (L1) have been proposed as a 'geo-engineering" solution to anthropogenic climate change and an advanced version of this could modulate incident irradiation over many Gyr or "rescue" a planet from the interior of the habitable zone. The distance of the starshade from the planet that minimizes its mass is 1.6 times the Earth-L1 distance. Such a starshade would have to be similar in size to the planet and the mutual occultations during planetary transits could produce a characteristic maximum at mid-transit in the light-curve. Because of a fortuitous ratio of densities, Earth-size planets around G dwarf stars present the best opportunity to detect such an artifact. The signal would be persistent and is potentially detectable by a future space photometry mission to characterize transiting planets. The signal could be distinguished from natural phenomenon, i.e. starspots or cometary dust clouds, by its shape, persistence, and transmission spectrum.

Warfare of the most dreadful description: a comparative study of settler colonial violence in Connecticut and Tasmania
Creators: name: Clear, Jack
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The Pequot War in seventeenth-century Connecticut and the Black War in nineteenth-century Tasmania were key moments in American and Australian history, respectively. Separated by two hundred years and 17,000 kilometers, they nonetheless followed remarkably similar trajectories; relative peace followed by aggressive settler expansion, the clash of two radically different military cultures, and the physical removal of the remaining indigenous survivors. Using the innovative field of settler colonial studies, this thesis will comparatively examine settler colonial violence in Connecticut and Tasmania. As a burgeoning number of works in the field have shown, settler colonial studies lends itself well to global and comparative approaches, as well as trans temporal ones. However, to date, there have been very few studies of the latter. This project will analyse the structural attributes of settler colonial violence comparatively and trans temporally to identify the ways in which they manifest in different cultural contexts and temporal frameworks. More broadly, it will seek to provide a detailed analysis of how the operative logic of settler colonialism can inform and shape seemingly unrelated events, and further the understanding of this distinctive and pervasive process.

Tacitus' more negative sceptical representations of Augustus' political career contrasted to portrayals in the Res Gestae, Velleius, Suetonius and Cassius Dio
Creators: name: Fitzpatrick, Graham William

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis will focus on comparing and contrasting the different representations by Tacitus, Augustus' Res Gestae, Velleius Paterculus, Suetonius and Cassius Dio about Augustus' political career. Building on extensive scholarly examination of Augustus' political attitudes and behaviours in recent centuries, this work will provide a unique comprehensive analytical discussion of Tacitus' more sceptical explicit and implicit portrayals of the characteristics of Augustus' political career, compared to and contrasted with the more positive, but sometimes ambiguous, depictions found in Augustus' Res Gestae, Velleius, Suetonius and Cassius Dio. Throughout the entire study, Tacitus' portrayals of Augustus' political career will be the main focus. This will be especially evident in Chapter 2 when an extensive analysis of a number of different perspectives on Augustus' political career, found in Tacitus' Annals, will be provided. Chapters 2 to 5 will identify key components of Tacitus' own views about Augustus' political career, as distinguished from those of the Res Gestae, Velleius, Suetonius and Cassius Dio. These new comparisons and contrasts between these five different Roman authors will be achieved mostly within the context of thorough examinations of previous scholarly debates about major aspects of Augustus' political career and his associated evolving political system. Also, this study will fill in numerous gaps in previous scholarly discussion and evaluation of these same issues.

Band Structure, Band Offsets, Substitutional Doping, and Schottky Barriers in InSe

description: We present a comprehensive study of the electronic structure of the layered semiconductor InSe using density functional theory. We calculate the band structure of the monolayer and bulk material with the band gap corrected using hybrid functionals. The band gap of the monolayer is 2.4 eV. The band edge states are surprising isotropic. The electron affinities and band offsets are then calculated for heterostructures as would be used in tunnel field effect transistors (TFETs). The ionization potential of InSe is quite large, similar to that of HfSe2 or SnSe2, and so InSe is suitable to act as the drain in the TFET. The intrinsic defects are then calculated. For Se-rich layers, the Se adatom is the lowest energy defect, whereas for In-rich layers, the In adatom is most stable for Fermi energies across most of the gap. Both substitutional donors and acceptors are calculated to be shallow, and not reconstructed. Finally, the Schottky barriers of metals are found to be strongly pinned, with the Fermi level pinned by metal induced gap states about 0.5 eV above the valence band edge.
Interactions beyond the inner circle: a language partner program at a Japanese university

description: In 2013, the Japanese government announced the Super Global Universities policy, which aims to increase the number of foreign teachers and students in Japanese tertiary education, and to double the number of doctorates in English. From this, it can therefore be assumed that English will be playing a greater role in the education of Japanese university students, either as language study, the language for subject content, or for social interactions on campus. This qualitative descriptive study using content analysis investigates a pedagogical approach that involves promoting awareness of World Englishes and a tolerance towards them through a one-to-one language partner program involving Japanese university students and a range of international students from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. In doing so, it provides an insight into not only the positive attitudes Japanese university students have towards World Englishes, but also the differing perceptions they have of non-native speakers of English in a language learning context. This study also evaluates the one-to-one program from the learners’ perspective, and provides an account of their experiences and suggestions on how it can be improved.

description: We present, for the first time, simultaneous determination of shear viscosity ($η$) and entropy density ($s$) and thus, $η/s$ for equilibrated nuclear systems from $A$ $\sim$ 30 to $A$ $\sim$ 208 at different temperatures. At finite temperature, $η$ is estimated by utilizing the $γ$ decay of the isovector giant dipole resonance populated via fusion evaporation reaction, while $s$ is evaluated from the nuclear level density parameter (${a}$) and nuclear temperature ($T$), determined precisely by the simultaneous measurements of the evaporated neutron energy spectra and the compound nuclear angular momenta. The transport parameter $η$ and the thermodynamic parameter $s$ both increase with temperature resulting in a mild decrease of $η$/$s$ with temperature. The extracted $η$/$s$ is also found to be independent of the neutron-proton asymmetry at a given temperature. Interestingly, the measured $η$/$s$ values are comparable to that of the high-temperature quark-gluon plasma, pointing towards the fact that strong fluidity may be the universal feature of the strong interaction of many-body quantum systems.

The political subject and its experiences: an alternative reading of Rancière on political subjectivity
Creators: name: Demandante, Darlene O.
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis aims to outline a rich account of the notion of political subjectivity using the work of Jacques Rancière as its main reference. I anchor my research question on Rancière’s work because he is one of the contemporary political philosophers whose theory of politics depends most significantly on a conception of the political subject. In fact, in his own theory, there is a struggle and tension about what exactly constitutes a political subject. I attempt to show that the way Rancière conceptualized his notion of political subjectivity, including its hesitations, provides invaluable material for reflection on how we should understand politics at present and on how we should think of our specific roles as political subjects. I suggest a reading of Rancière that is focused on the “experiences” of the subject of politics. This alternative reading proposes that underneath the famous model presented in Disagreement, which is premised on a formal theory of the subject and the principle of the equality of intelligence, there lies a thick layer of subjective experiences. This is a reading of Rancière’s work, which has not received substantial attention among critics. I focus on all the passages in Rancière’s writings that point toward a theory of political action, which emphasizes embodied experiences, feelings, and dreams as the beginning of politics.

description: We demonstrate two examples of stochastic processes whose lifts to geometric rough paths require a renormalisation procedure to obtain convergence in rough path topologies. Our first example involves a physical Brownian motion subject to a magnetic force which dominates over the friction forces in the small mass limit. Our second example involves a lead-lag process of discretised fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter $H \in (1/4,1/2)$, in which the stochastic area captures the quadratic variation of the process. In both examples, a renormalisation of the second iterated integral is needed to ensure convergence of the processes, and we comment on how this procedure mimics negative renormalisation arising in the study of singular SPDEs and regularity structures.

description: A common problem in disciplines of applied Statistics research such as Astrostatistics is of estimating the posterior distribution of relevant parameters. Typically, the likelihoods for such models are computed via expensive experiments such as cosmological simulations of the universe. An urgent challenge in these research domains is to develop methods that can estimate the posterior with few likelihood evaluations. In this paper, we study active posterior estimation in a Bayesian setting when the likelihood is expensive to evaluate. Existing techniques for posterior estimation are based on generating samples representative of the posterior. Such methods do not consider efficiency in terms of likelihood evaluations. In order to be query efficient we treat posterior estimation in an active regression framework. We propose two myopic query strategies to choose where to evaluate the likelihood and implement them using Gaussian processes. Via experiments on a series of synthetic and real examples we demonstrate that our approach is significantly more query efficient than existing techniques and other heuristics for posterior estimation.
