description: Presentation given on 31 March 2022 during the Arctic Observing Summit (AOS) 2022 meeting of Working Group 2: Regional to Global Observing. The talk introduced the Essential Ocean Variable (EOV) framework and how it is used by the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) to provide authoritative guidance on ocean observing system design, from requirement setting to coordination of observations and management of data and information products. Ongoing efforts to expand the framework (e.g. human impact on the ocean) and to better incorporate the needs of regional observations (e.g. deep ocean, Arctic) were highlighted, using examples of relevant developments as part of the H2020 ECOTIP and H2020 EuroSea projects.

Preweaned dairy calf nutrition: Veterinarian’s role in a milk feeding program

Subjects: dairy calf

preweaning nutrition

description: The herd veterinarian has an important role on calf raising op­erations to promote the health and welfare of calves through having a role in the milk phase nutrition program. Optimal nutrition will benefit the calves and the herd veterinarian can help provide input and critique of a milk program using their expertise in animal health, husbandry, nutrition and behav­ior. Milk feeding of calves, traditionally around 60 days, has been shown to have long term production benefits for adult dairy cows, and yet often the milk feeding plan is delegated to a private or feed company nutritionist. This paper describes tools and best practices for herd veterinarians to ensure young calves are fed appropriately to meet their genetic potential and the dairy producer’s goals. Even if the herd veterinarian does not have overall authority of a milk program, they can use the best practices to align producer expectations with what is be­ing offered to the calves and give their impartial input of how to best apply the producer’s resources in a feeding program for the benefit of the calves.

description: Natal dispersal is assumed to be costly. Yet, such costs can be difficult to detect and fitness consequences of dispersal are therefore poorly known. Because of lower phenotypic quality and/or familiarity with the environment, natal dispersers may be less buffered against a sudden increase in reproductive effort. Consequently, reproductive costs associated with natal dispersal may mostly be detected in harsh breeding conditions. We tested this prediction by comparing lifetime reproductive success between natal dispersers and non-dispersers in a patchy population of collared flycatchers (Ficedula albicollis) when they reared either a non-manipulated brood or an experimentally increased or decreased brood. Natal dispersers achieved lower lifetime reproductive success than non-dispersers only under more stressful breeding conditions, i.e. when brood size was experimentally increased. This was mostly due to a lower number of recruits produced in the year of the increase. Our results suggest a cost associated with natal dispersal paid immediately after an increase in reproductive effort and not subsequently compensated for through increased survival or future offspring recruitment. Natal dispersers adjusted their breeding investment when reproductive effort is as predicted but seemed unable to efficiently face a sudden increase in effort, which could affect the influence of environmental predictability on dispersal evolution.

description: Temperature is a key environmental driver of Anopheles mosquito population dynamics; understanding its central role is important for these malaria vectors. Mosquito population responses to temperature fluctuations, though important across the life history, are poorly understood at a population level. We used stage-structured, temperature-dependent delay-differential equations to conduct a detailed exploration of diurnal and annual temperature fluctuations on mosquito population dynamics. The model allows exploration of temperature-driven temporal changes in adult age structure, giving insights into the population's capacity to vector malaria parasites. Because of temperature-dependent shifts in age structure, the abundance of potentially infectious mosquitoes varies temporally, and does not necessarily mirror the dynamics of the total adult population. In addition to conducting the first comprehensive theoretical exploration of fluctuating temperatures on mosquito population dynamics, we analysed observed temperatures at four locations in Africa covering a range of environmental conditions. We found both temperature and precipitation are needed to explain the observed malaria season in these locations, enhancing our understanding of the drivers of malaria seasonality and how temporal disease risk may shift in response to temperature changes. This approach, tracking both mosquito abundance and age structure, may be a powerful tool for understanding current and future malaria risk.

Subjects: uterine torsion
detorsion
cesarean section

description: If you work with breeding livestock, obstetrical problems are inevitable. In bovine, there are numerous types of dystocias. Uterine torsions, rotation of the gravid uterine horn over the broad ligament, is one type that has a higher prevalence in the bovine. While the true underlying cause of torsions is not known, there are several factors that can increase the odds in­cluding pluriparous, deep-bodied dams, and increased move­ment of fetus during the beginning of parturition. Timeliness of assessing and determining direction and degree of torsion are important factors for determining options to resolve the torsion. Resolution options include cast-and-roll dam, manual detorsion or cesarean section. Each option has to be weighed with degree of torsion, stability of dam, facility and assistance availability. Complications that arise include uterine vascular complications, potential complication to the overall health of dam, and lack of cervical dilation after detorsion. With either of the two non-surgical approaches, vaginal evaluation during the process is warranted to determine progress. If the cervix is not dilated during detorsion, often surgical extraction of fetus is necessary. Outcome of dam and fetus depends on duration and extent of torsion and ability to intervene in a timely manner.

Dairy calf housing strategies to maximize welfare and meet producer goals

Year: 2022
Subjects: social housing
pair housing

description: Social housing of dairy calves during the pre-weaning period is slowly becoming more popular in the North American dairy industry. The current body of literature suggests that calves housed in a group (> 2 calves housed together) during the pre-weaning period can have improved growth, social and cogni­tive skills as compared to individually housed calves. However, there are distinct challenges to group housing, particularly as group size increases beyond 8 calves/group. Veterinarians can and should get involved in producer decision-making when changes to calf management are considered, and can play a key role in protocol development and monitoring programs to help drive success of these systems. The following discussion will describe the current best practices for calf rearing during the pre-weaning period, focusing on large group and pair housing.

Understanding unsteady Plinian eruptions: the deposits and processes associated with the complex 4.6 ka Fogo A Plinian eruption sequence, São Miguel Island, Azores
Creators: name: Pensa, Alessandra
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This research has detailed for the first time the eruptive products and of whole 4.6ka Fogo A eruption sequence, São Miguel Island, Azores, Portugal, made famous by Walker and Croasdale (1970). The study of the depositional relationships between each stratigraphic unit has been fundamental for the reconstruction of the eruption column dynamics. Although previous authors published studies on the physical and compositional characteristics of the significant basal fall-out deposit studied by Walker and Croasdale (1970), no one has previously published on the rest of the stratigraphy of the Fogo A sequence. Key findings of this research, include a complex inter-stratification of fall-out and ignimbrite deposits; the delineation of the areal dispersal of the deposits; thermal remanent magnetization, reflectance analysis and heat loss were used to estimate the emplacement temperature of ignimbrites; the discovery of anti-rapakivi texture of feldspar phenocrysts and the finding of an inverse compositional evolution from trachytic (63.38%), toward terms more trachydacitic (59.38%) magma composition during the eruption; assessment of the possible causes of the instability of the eruption column and to better understand how this is connected with the dynamic evolution of the magma source. Although the shift from steady to unsteady eruption column behaviour during explosive Plinian eruptions is a common characteristic of many Plinian eruptions, there is still a considerable discussion in the volcanology community of the causes. The Fogo A eruption sequence was a perfect study case for better understanding the factors causing a shift from steady to unsteady eruption column behaviour. Furthermore the comparison between pTRM analysis on lithic clasts and Reflectance analysis (Ro%) on carbonised organic material, for estimating the emplacement temperature of ignimbrite deposits, reveals, for the first time, excellent comparability of the two methods, and corroborates the reliability of the Ro% data. This will greatly improve the accuracy of the evaluations of emplacement temperature of ignimbrites, allowing the estimation of narrower temperature ranges and the distinction of different temperatures at different stratigraphic horizons within single ignimbrite deposits.

The process-oriented evaluation of Southern Ocean cloud and radiation errors in weather and climate models using cloud regimes
Creators: name: Mason, Shannon
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Cloud and shortwave radiation (SW) biases over the high-latitude Southern Ocean (SO) are persistent in many general circulation models (GCMs), and have been associated with large-scale circulation errors and uncertainties in cloud feedbacks in a warming climate. Physical processes below the grid-scale of GCMs are represented by parameterisations; to prioritise improvements in model physics there is a need to identify which processes are the major contributors to model error. A promising approach to process-oriented model evaluation is to identify cloud regimes from passive satellite observations, the occurrence of which are functions of the large-scale weather state. The aims of this thesis are, first, to expand upon approaches to identifying cloud regimes and their associated weather states, and to more fully characterise the vertical structure and thermodynamic phase of cloud regimes in the Southern Ocean. We then apply this observational knowledge to model evaluation, so as to develop a cloud regime-oriented framework for identifying and quantifying cloud and radiation errors in GCMs, and their associations with processes represented by model physics. In this thesis we present significant and original contributions to the knowledge of SO cloud from observations, and to the use of cloud regimes to evaluate model errors. We identify robust distinctions between key midtopped cloud regimes that have been associated with errors in the SO, and develop a methodology for using active satellite observations to quantify the subgrid-scale variability of cloud structures within cloud regimes. We develop a novel approach to identifying hybrid cloud regimes from both observations and a GCM, and demonstrate applications to quantifying the effects of changes to model parameterisations. We use the hybrid cloud regime approach to compare the development of cloud and radiation errors between timescales by evaluating short-term weather hindcasts and long-term climate simulations of the same GCM. Key methodological contributions to the use of cloud regimes for observations and model evaluation are demonstrated in the context of the high-latitude SO, with promising applications to ongoing efforts to address SO cloud errors in GCMs, and to investigate model errors in other contexts.
A gender analysis of agricultural and rural restructuring in the Mallee region
Creators: name: Clarke, Josephine Lisa
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This PhD thesis outlines a gendered analysis of agricultural and rural restructuring in the Mallee region of north-west Victoria. In contrast to the usual focus on ‘structural adjustment’, it seeks to understand gendered social relationships in a changing agricultural industry context, and a political and economic context framed by climate challenges. The research is conducted with women and men – including couples – who are farming and / or who have left farming. Participants articulate gendered relationships and subjectivities, and comment on gendered social relationships in the context of multiple pressures including climatic changes, drought and declining terms of trade. The findings of this research highlight the multiple exits that are occurring in agricultural and rural restructuring and the numerous, often disparate, ways women and men leave farming. The experiences of restructuring and leaving farming are diverse and gendered. This research suggests that agriculture in the Mallee region is becoming further masculinised as a result of the differing ways participants are exiting farming. Further, as gender relations are renegotiated during this time of extraordinary changes, these in turn challenge discourses of family farming. Finally, in the local-global nexus of gender relations, many participants offer insights into managing the stresses and challenges of ongoing agricultural restructuring.
Autoparatopisms of Latin squares

description: Abstract In this thesis we study autoparatopisms and near-autoparatopisms of Latin squares. Also we ﬁnd a family of Latin squares with an unique intercalate and no larger subsquares. Paratopism is a well known action of the wreath product Sn oS3 on Latin squares oforder n. A paratopism that maps a Latin square to itself is an autoparatopism of that Latin square. Let Par(n) denote the set of paratopisms that are an autoparatopism of at least one Latin square of order n. We prove a number of general properties of autoparatopisms which between them are suﬃcient to determine Par(n) for n ≤ 17. Suppose that n ≡ ±1 mod 6 and n ≥ 7. We construct a Latin square Ln of order n with the following properties: • Ln has no proper subsquares of order 3 or more. • Ln has exactly one intercalate (subsquare of order 2). • When the intercalate is replaced by the other possible subsquare on the same symbols, the resulting Latin square is in the same species as Ln. Hence Ln generalises the square that Sade famously found to complete Norton’s enumeration of Latin squares of order 7. In particular, Ln is what is known as a self-switching Latin square and possesses a near-autoparatopism.

description: In the recent years, dairy farms have dramatically improved fertility programs, while also changing to a higher percent of sex-sorted semen used within the farm. This has led to a sur­plus of heifer inventory, especially for a stable dairy farm. At the same time, there is an opportunity to improve the market­ability of the dairy-breed calf intended for meat production through introducing terminal beef cross sires into the breed­ing strategy. This introduction of beef genetics improves meat yield grade and overall carcass characteristics compared to a purebred dairy calf. A dairy producer can successfully imple­ment this strategy knowing their total need for dairy replace­ment heifers for herd maintenance and/or expansion. The beef-on-dairy cross can aid in market diversification for the dairy producer and reduces the historical concerns of dairy breed animals finished in the feedlot and within the meat processing industry.

Musical transcriptions: a creative and analytical exploration of aspects of music in text

Publisher: name: Monash University

description: This dissertation addresses the meaning of a musical text and how music, when re- imagined or represented in text, acts as a significant shaping element. I define a musical text as one that incorporates music principles and thematic elements as part of its determined construction, affecting the way the narrative makes and communicates meaning. The investigation applies to the creative component of my work, Diary of a Song, and is the basis of the critical component in the musico-textual analyses of Sonata Mulattica by Rita Dove and Água Viva by Clarice Lispector. Diary of a Song is a book- length work in prose-poetry on the subject of the art of singing. The musico-textual analyses adopt a case study approach, and I argue that all the texts are demonstrations of a musical text understood by the application of a framework of definition. The framework is informed by, the intermedial theories of Werner Wolf, the interart theories of Steven P. Scher, the musicological theories of Heinrich Schenker and the scholarship of Gunther Schuller. This musico-textual analysis is viewed through the balanced lens of a musicological and literary analysis.
US and EU cooperation on financial regulatory reform during the financial crisis: the role of interdependence

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: After progressively deepening political, security, trade and financial ties over successive decades, at the time the financial crisis hit Europe in 2008, the level of financial and economic interdependence between the United States and the European Union was highly developed. Examining several case studies on US and EU cooperation on financial regulatory reforms in the early stages of the financial crisis — the convergence of accounting standards across the Atlantic, the regulation of credit default swaps, the regulation of credit ratings agencies and a reinforced role for the International Monetary Fund and the Financial Stability Board — this thesis considers the role that financial and economic interdependencies played in policy decision-making. It follows an approach outlined by Keohane and Nye, considering the political processes involved in situations of complex interdependence. This research shows how, in an effort to save, protect and reinforce their respective and common financial and economic interests in each other’s markets and around the world, they developed a coordinated agenda for bilateral and international financial regulatory reform. The result was not only a deeper relationship, intensification of the transgovernmental decision-making policy process, but also greater policy convergence in several financial regulatory issue-areas. This research finds there are several important theoretical and policy implications of this cooperation. It shows how financial markets and economic interdependencies had a direct causal effect on the decisions by regulators and policy-makers to cooperate on policy reform. US and EU financial and economic interdependencies were found to have constrained the agenda of political actors and diminished their alternatives. The policy implications are that closing existing gaps in transatlantic financial governance, sustaining political will for close policy cooperation and maintaining a robust regular and effective dialogue to contain the risks of financial contagion in the transatlantic market remains imperative.

description: The spaser nanolaser, which is the nanoplasmonic counterpart of the laser, enables the generation and amplification of coherent surface plasmons (SPs) by means of stimulated emission. Spaser opens up a new era of devices which overcome the speed barriers of electronics and miniaturizing barriers of optics. This research is mainly focused on engineering spaser devices, particulary the guidelines for design optimization, new designs with improved characteristics, and potential applications. First, a general quantum mechanical model is developed considering the degeneracy of localized SP modes supported by a resonator. Density matrix analysis of this system helps to derive an expression for SP generation rate and identify the tunable parameters for design optimization. The developed model is then applied to optimize a simple spaser design, in which a metal nanosphere is resonantly coupled to a quantum dot, by altering their material and geometrical parameters. Next, alternative spaser materials are considered. Although not commonly used in spaser designs, graphene possesses much better plasmonic properties compared to gold or silver and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) display excellent photoluminescence properties. Therefore, a new all-carbon spaser design is proposed where a square shaped graphene nanoflake (GNF) resonator powered by a CNT gain element offering the advantages of tunability, robustness, flexibility, and thermal stability. This design is also analyzed employing the general model to determine the different material and geometric parameters of GNF and CNT influencing the spaser operation. Based on these results, clear spaser design guidelines such as identifying the crucial tuning parameters, fabricating the resonator, choosing the appropriate gain medium and pumping mechanism, and relative placement of the components are also sought. Finally, some new applications of spaser nanolasers are proposed and a spaser powered cancer therapy is discussed in detail. In this setup, a large number of tiny nanolasers penetrate tumors to thermally ablate malignant cancer cells. Hence, this research as a whole contributes towards engineering the spaser and catalyzing the process of its practical use and commercialization.

description: Neuro-rehabilitation is a medical process aimed at restoring the sensory and motor functions of the nervous system via repetitive learning and training process. The success of neuro-rehabilitation is simply measured by how fast the patients can recover from the disability. However, the continuous growth of the number of disabled patients and the lack of resources and rehabilitation facilities has then questioned the justification of its success in the future. There are questions about whether the present approaches of neuro-rehabilitation are still efficient to keep up with the future growth of the disabled patients which is growing exponentially. Hence, there is a need for constant advancement in neuro-rehabilitation engineering to improve the efficiency of automated rehabilitation. By doing this, the recovery rate of the patients can be increased, allowing more patients to be rehabilitated even with the lack of resources and rehabilitation facilities. The current study explores the utilization of 9 different upper limb’s muscles to find the best correlation between the electromyography (EMG) signals of the muscles and the individual torque of the upper joints via mathematical models. The EMG signals are acquired in real time and processed by rectification and filtration to eliminate the interference of the signal. These processed signals are then used as the input variables in GA; training the optimized correlation coefficients to minimize the discrepancy between the actual and simulated torque. The best correlation will be used as a control model in the rehabilitative robot’s controller as a decision making. Should the patient require assistance; this model will calculate the amount of assistive force required and supply it to the patient through the servo to complete the rehabilitation cycle. A comparative study, supported by the quantitative data of the simulation results, indicates that the individual torque of the upper limb’s joints is best modeled as the inverse logarithm of the EMG signals of the upper limb muscles with a constant. The estimated torque calculated from this model is the closest to the actual torque among the other mathematical models and thus, it has the lowest discrepancy. The average of 32% discrepancy is calculated throughout 100 generations in ±34 minutes. However, this figure is not attainable upon the integration of the inverse logarithm mathematical model into the controller mainly due to the communication rate between the DAQ system and the server. There is a discrepancy of approximately 10% between the experimental and simulated results which deems to be quite significant.
HIV and HCV diagnosis and treatment for people who inject drugs

description: Worldwide, people who inject drugs (PWID) are a key population disproportionally affected by HIV and hepatitis C (HCV) primarily through the sharing of injecting equipment. Despite this, in Australia an early and continued comprehensive harm reduction response has resulted in HIV prevalence in PWID of 1-2%, HCV prevalence among PWID remains over 50%. This thesis sought to investigate the degree to which PWID are accepted into and progress through the continuum of effective HIV and HCV clinical care, as well as consider the impact of the current revolution in HCV small molecule antiviral therapy for PWID. A range of quantitative and qualitative methods were used to explore the relationship between PWID, HIV and HCV diagnosis, and treatment. The major findings of this thesis following an analysis of 3 longitudinal datasets in Victoria, Australia are that PWID are less likely to present late, and more likely to present early, for HIV diagnosis than non-injectors and that HIV-infected PWID in Victoria achieve equivalent HIV treatment outcomes following initiation of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), including in their likelihood of obtaining HIV viral load suppression, compared with non-injectors. The thesis explored the utility of a HCV notification system in Victoria to identify PWID with newly acquired HCV and to link to treatment for acute HCV. While the rate of treatment uptake is low, this provides an epidemiological mechanism to confirm acute HCV diagnosis and link individuals to treatment. Qualitative methods were used to explore HCV interferon-based treatment for PWID in the community setting.While PWID find the current standard of care interferon-based HCV therapy challenging, there may be a positive subjective impact on substance use following completion of treatment. In addition, peer support for PWID is feasible and acceptable to PWID undergoing HCV treatment, is associated with high rates of treatment uptake and may assist with retention in community-based treatment settings. The current situation regarding PWID and new direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) was reviewed. Interferon-free regimens consisting of these new, highly effective DAAs have the potential to revolutionize HCV therapy. Despite being a key affected population, PWID are unlikely to benefit from these new treatments because of price and access barriers. Taken together, the findings of this thesis suggest that timely diagnosis and effective care and treatment of both HIV and HCV is possible for PWID, and potentially enhanced by peer workers attached to the clinical team in the context of treatment.

description: The heifer enterprise of a modern dairy operation plays a cru­cial role in health and productivity performance, cost of pro­duction and future potential. The variables that determine heifer inventory are nearly innumerable, but at minimum, re­productive performance in the cow and heifer herd, semen se­lection, morbidity and mortality in the heifers, and age at first calving have major influence. Recently, a lot of dairy manage­ment publication, analysis and marketing strategy have includ­ed recommendations for increased cow longevity, genetically superior replacements, and “right-sized” heifer inventories. However, it would be wise to remain open to the value that an adequate or even plentiful supply of dairy replacements brings to an operation, and evidence for this consideration is at least as sound and plentiful as evidence in support of the opposite approach. Analyzing costs and benefits of the heifer enterprise needs to be considered carefully, and economic concepts such as fixed and variable costs, sunk costs and opportunity costs need to be applied appropriately.
