description: We present the analysis of 11 nights of V and I time-series observations of the globular cluster NGC 1904 (M 79). Using this we searched for variable stars in this cluster and attempted to refine the periods of known variables, making use of a time baseline spanning almost 8 years. We use our data to derive the metallicity and distance of NGC 1904. We used difference imaging to reduce our data to obtain high-precision light curves of variable stars. We then estimated the cluster parameters by performing a Fourier decomposition of the light curves of RR Lyrae stars for which a good period estimate was possible. We also derive an estimate for the age of the cluster by fitting theoretical isochrones to our colour-magnitude diagram (CMD). Out of 13 stars previously classified as variables, we confirm that 10 are bona fide variables. We cannot detect variability in one other within the precision of our data, while there are two which are saturated in our data frames, but we do not find sufficient evidence in the literature to confirm their variability. We also detect a new RR Lyrae variable, giving a total number of confirmed variable stars in NGC 1904 of 11. Using the Fourier parameters, we find a cluster metallicity [Fe/H]_ZW=-1.63 +- 0.14, or [Fe/H]_UVES=-1.57 \pm 0.18, and a distance of 13.3 +- 0.4 kpc (using RR0 variables) or 12.9 kpc (using the one RR1 variable in our sample for which Fourier decomposition was possible).

title: A novel delay time modelling method for incorporating reuse actions in three-state single-component systems (accepted)

description: This paper presents a new delay time modelling method for reusing single-component systems with two defective states and one failure state. It assumes that a component may be reused for the purposes of resource, economic and environmental sustainability. The possibility of reusing industrial components is not generally considered in maintenance models, which represents a knowledge gap in the literature, especially in the delay time related models. To address this gap, this paper proposes a method based on the delay time modelling method to investigate different scenarios of component reusability and uses real-world systems in the mining industry to illustrate its applicability. The paper then derives the expected cost rate, obtains lower and upper bounds of the expected total cost, considers the improving learning rate of correctly classifying defective components and incorporates the environmental impact of disposed components in optimization of the inspection interval. Results discuss when the reuse action may provide economic benefits even when the reused item may have different reliability than new one.

description: Using the Coulomb gas method and standard methods of statistical physics, we compute analytically the joint cumulative probability distribution of the extreme eigenvalues of the Jacobi-MANOVA ensemble of random matrices, in the limit of large matrices. This allows us to derive the rate functions for the large fluctuations to the left and the right of the expected values of the smallest and largest eigenvalues analytically. Our findings are compared with some available known exact results as well as with numerical simulations finding good agreement.

description: This article discusses the assumption that also historical actors of the youth and life reform movement being abstinent from alcohol and drugs strived for inebriation. Although these forms of inebriation allowed to exceed physical and mental limits, they had to be compatible with the performance-oriented and healthy lifestyle of the movements. During the 20th century, abstinent adolescents, Wandervögel and life reformers organized mountain hikes as a healthy leisure activity without alcohol and drugs. In their tour reports they described their experiences in the mountains as a state of highness which in contrary to the drug-based intoxication improves one's self-control and perception. By doing so, they tried to adopt inebriation as cultural technology, but connected it to their ideals of health. They influenced a sober and rationalized “regime of consciousness” that during the 20th century expanded in different spheres of modern, performance-oriented societies.

description: We study variants of regular infinite games where the strict alternation of moves between the two players is subject to modifications. The second player may postpone a move for a finite number of steps, or, in other words, exploit in his strategy some lookahead on the moves of the opponent. This captures situations in distributed systems, e.g. when buffers are present in communication or when signal transmission between components is deferred. We distinguish strategies with different degrees of lookahead, among them being the continuous and the bounded lookahead strategies. In the first case the lookahead is of finite possibly unbounded size, whereas in the second case it is of bounded size. We show that for regular infinite games the solvability by continuous strategies is decidable, and that a continuous strategy can always be reduced to one of bounded lookahead. Moreover, this lookahead is at most doubly exponential in the size of a given parity automaton recognizing the winning condition. We also show that the result fails for non-regular gamesxwhere the winning condition is given by a context-free omega-language.

description: The new data for Cepheids and RR Lyrae stars of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE-III) survey allow us to study the three-dimensional distribution of stars corresponding to young (a few tens to a few hundreds of millions of years) and old (typically older than ~9 Gyr) populations of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) traced by these variable stars. We estimate the distance to 16949 RR Lyrae stars by using their photometrically estimated metallicities. Furthermore the periods of 1849 Cepheids are used to determine their distances. Three-dimensional maps are obtained by using individual reddening estimates derived from the intrinsic color of these stars. The resulting median distances of the RR Lyrae stars and Cepheids appear to resolve the long and short distance scale problem for our sample. With median distances of 53.1 \pm 3.2 kpc for the RR Lyrae stars and 53.9 \pm 1.8 kpc for the Cepheids, these two distance indicators are in very good agreement with each other in contrast to a number of earlier studies. Individual reddening estimates allow us to resolve the distance discrepancies often observed while comparing Cepheids and RR Lyrae stars. For both stellar populations we find the inclination angle of the LMC to be 32° \pm 4° and the mean position angle to be 115° \pm 15°. The position angle increases with galactocentric radius, indicative of mild twisting. Within the innermost 7 degrees of the LMC covered by OGLE III the change in position angle amounts to more than 10 degrees. The depth of the Cepheids is found to be 1.7 \pm 0.2 kpc. The bar stands out as an overdensity both in RR Lyrae stars and in Cepheids. In RR Lyrae stars the bar can be traced as a protruding overdensity with a line-of-sight depth of almost 5 kpc in front of the main body of the disk.

description: To this day, cocaine is widely perceived as an aphrodisiac and often associated with prostitution and sexual deviance. This article traces the origins of this popular image in late nineteenth and early twentieth century German medicine. It reconstructs how medical discourses about neurasthenia, homosexuality and psychoactive substances came to equate narcotic-use and deviant sexual behavior as factors that both caused and could result from sexual and nervous disorders. As this article also shows, this presumed causal relationship in turn shaped medical perceptions of cocaine-use among homosexuals and prostitutes in urban red-light districts in the Weimar Republic, which reinforced medicine's neglect of cocaine-consumption among socially integrated groups. While pharmacological and physiological knowledge have changed drastically since then, remnants of this motif live on to this day.

We follow the strategy has been introduced in Ref. [14] to encode the information in the entangled ground state of the system by local rotation. The amount of achieved entanglement in this scheme is higher than the attaching a pair of maximally entanglement scenarios. Also, our proposal can be implemented by using the optical lattices.

description: This portfolio provides an insight into my personal development and professional development as a trainee sport and exercise psychologist, through the Professional Doctorate in Sport and Exercise Psychology at Liverpool John Moores University. The portfolio provides evidence of how I meet the competencies (professional standards, consultancy, research, teaching and dissemination) of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) for ‘Chartered’ and ‘Practitioner’ Psychologists. The practice log provides a summary of the hours spent on each learning outcome. The reflective diary highlights particular learning experiences or critical moments that that were central to my development, the development of my personal philosophy, and the development of my approach to practice. Four applied case studies are presented, which provide more thorough accounts of my approach to service delivery in terms of applied work and teaching and dissemination. The case studies offer deep critical reflection. The case studies demonstrate work across a number of different settings: a youth tennis player, a rugby union talent development environment, an injured motorcycle racer, and undergraduate students. The common thread with the research papers is motorcycle racing. The systematic review and meta-ethnography investigates psychosocial factors associated with positive rehabilitation outcomes in elite athletes following serious injury. The first empirical paper used descriptive psychological phenomenology to explore the lived experience of serious injury for motorcycle road racers. The second empirical paper used published autobiographies and narrative inquiry to explore how expert performers at the Isle of Man TT storied their childhood and adolescent development. The reflective practice commentary draws together my training experience, including what it has taught me, how I developed the competencies required to be effective, and how it has contributed to the development of a coherent and congruent approach to practice.

description: First tested und used for therapeutic purposes in psychiatry, LSD entered the sub- und counter-cultural field of the beatnik and hippie movement in the 1950s and 1960s as a chemical promise of individual liberation from societal restrictions. In this process, “psychedelic” movies emerged as a new genre, picking up narratives of the substance-induced freeing of the mind and developing cinematic stagings of being “high” on LSD. The article compares a selection of “psychedelic” movies produced since the 1960s, including “The Trip”, “Easy Rider”, “Altered States” and “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”. It focusses on the question of how narratives of the chemical transgression of the mind, understood as part of the counter-cultural movement, transformed into representations of intoxication as expression of individual fragmentation and pointless escapism at the mercy of societal constraints.

description: »Fitness for Work«. To the relationship of sports, labour and community in national socialism. Or: German positions at the conference »Labour and Joy« in Rome 1938. The article investigates the ideological connection between labour and sports in national socialism. It reconstructs and analyses the speeches of the German delegation at the so-called world conference on “Labour and Joy” that took place in 1938 in Rome. There, Sports and leisure time were a central topic even though the title doesn't suggest that. The purpose of that paper is to understand the national socialist position on sports and labour at the time. Sport played a double role: it was meant to educate for work and to experience the national community. In going back to Hitler's ideas of “German work”, the article explains the connection of sports, labour and community in four dimensions: 1. service: the idea that “German work” must be a service for the nation community, 2. fitness: the health of the body as obligation for the national comrade, 3. fight as the natural mode of life and 4. the team as the instrument to experience the national community through sports. The outcome therefore is that the national socialist position on sports and labour is not just a historical topic but a political challenge in the rise of the New Right.

description: The quantum master equation applied to electronic transport through nanoscopic devices provides information not only on the stationary state but also on the dynamics. The dynamics is characterized by the eigenvalues of the transition-rate matrix, or generator, of the master equation. We propose to use the spectrum of these eigenvalues as a tool for the study of nanoscopic transport. We illustrate this idea by analyzing a molecular quantum dot with an electronic orbital coupled to a vibrational mode, which shows the Franck-Condon blockade if the coupling is strong. Our approach provides complementary information compared to the study of observables in the stationary state.

description: The Affleck-Dine mechanism, which is one of the most attractive candidates for the baryogenesis in supersymmetric theories, often predicts the existence of baryonic Q balls in the early universe. In this scenario, there is a possibility to explain the observed baryon-to-dark matter ratio because Q balls decay into supersymmetric particles as well as into quarks. If the gravitino mass is small compared to the typical interaction energy, the longitudinal component of the gravitino behaves like the massless goldstino. We numerically calculate the goldstino production rates from Q balls in the leading semi-classical approximation without using large radius limit or effective coupling. We also calculate the quark production rates from Q balls in the Yukawa theory with a massive fermion. In deriving the decay rate we also take into account the scalar field configuration of the Q ball. These results are applied to a realistic model in the gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking and yield the branching ratio of the Q ball decay into the gravitino. We obtain the branching ratio much smaller than the one estimated in the previous analysis.

description: The science-policy interface has a critical role to play in supporting cities develop more sustainable and resilient urban water policies and practices. This PhD thesis aimed to increase our understanding of the factors that enable effective interactions between the science and policy communities. Three international leaders in urban water and sustainability were examined – Melbourne (Australia), Rotterdam (Netherlands) and Vancouver (Canada) – in order to understand how they initiated and sustained a trajectory of change. A suite of features was identified that facilitate effective mediation between the science-policy interface, and the interaction and interplay between these features appears to be particularly significant.
Ruling the Game of Institutional Water Governance - An analysis of water access, power and control in South Africa.

description: This thesis critically investigates how local people access water and how the involved processes align with their complex social relations with other people’s lives and livelihoods within a South African water governance context. In a comparative cross-case study, I reveal that power asymmetries lie at the heart of the challenges faced by the South African government to implement its formal approach to collaborative, local level water governance institutions. Instead of becoming vehicles for change, my findings reveal that Water User Associations were further entrenching privileged access to water of existing agricultural elites, rather than providing a mechanism for change.

We model both the nonlocal effects associated with the conduction electrons of the metal, as well as the previously overlooked response of bound electrons. We show that the fundamental mode of a metal-dielectric-metal waveguide, sometimes called the gap-plasmon, is very sensitive to nonlocality when the insulating, dielectric layers are thinner than 5 nm. We suggest that optical patch antennas, which can easily be fabricated with controlled dielectric spacer layers and can be interrogated using far-field scattering, can enable the measurement of nonlocality in metals with good accuracy.

description: This thesis examines the relationship between factors of existential anxiety and support for extremism and violent extremism. The findings suggest that people who are searching for meaning in their lives also have higher levels of support for extremism and violent extremism. Search for meaning is also linked to utilising religion for non-religious goals, which in turn is linked to higher support for violent extremism. The findings also suggest that people who feel that they lack control and feel lonely, think that they have little political power, which in turn is linked to higher support for violent extremism.

The Politics of Environmental Certification Surrounding the Indonesia’s Palm Oil Industry: Emergence of the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO)
Creators: name: DONNY TAMTAMA
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: 160499 Human Geography not elsewhere classified
subject: FOS: Social and economic geography

description: This thesis analyses the emergence of environmental governance in palm oil sector in Indonesia, the world’s largest producer. Focusing on the establishment of Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) in 2011, this study is the first systematic examination of Indonesian palm oil producers and regulators to the emergence and increasing influence of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). Indonesian producers’ perceptions, attitudes and actions are analysed within a unique theoretical and conceptual framework that views ISPO as a form of state-centred environmental governance that flourished in the fertile soil of Indonesia’s historical legacy of sovereignty and corporatism.
Fashioning the Vagina: A Qualitative Investigation of Young Women’s Perspectives
Creators: name: ALEXANDRA LEE JAMES
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Sociology
subject: FOS: Sociology
subject: Gender studies

description: This thesis examines young women's understandings and experiences of genital fashioning practices. Young women engage with genital fashioning within a context shaped by social influences and pressures. In particular, the mainstream media, sexual partners, and peer groups encourage women’s participation in practices of genital fashioning. Dually, within contemporary discourse, young women are exposed to postfeminist messages which assert individual capacity for agency, expression and assertive sexuality. These contradictory social expectations were negotiated by the participants who recognised capacity for agency within the complex cultural context currently inhabited by young women. This research contributes to broader debates about choice and agency.
'It is a dangerous journey': A Tibetan experience of borders, border control and irregular migration
Creators: name: BODEAN DOROTHY HEDWARDS
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: 160303 Migration
subject: FOS: Sociology

description: This study explores the border crossing experience of 12 irregular Tibetan migrants as they crossed the border from Tibet through to Nepal and India. Through these experiences, this study offers an insight into an otherwise understudied border site and the way that the social, political and historical context has shaped the participants' experiences. The challenges faced by participants supports the need for ongoing research into the experiences of specific migrant populations at border zones that fall outside traditional sites of inquiry as a way to better understand the impact that borders, and border control can have on irregular migrants in particular.
The Politics of Neighbouring: Migration, Proximity and Planning in Madrid's Barrios

Subjects: subject: 160607 International Relations
subject: FOS: Political science
subject: 160609 Political Theory and Political Philosophy

description: El barrio, the Spanish neighbourhood, has been mobilised by contemporary social movements in Madrid. El barrio provides an open framework that puts neighbours, both citizens and non-citizens, in contact via the spaces of everyday life. In this thesis, I draw on Henri Lefebvre’s thinking to elaborate a spatial history of modes of political belonging grounded in el barrio. I illustrate how contemporary mobilisations echo and differ from earlier battles. El barrio is simultaneously a space where dominant notions of citizenship are grounded and where grassroots alternatives emerge. Historical perspective gained contributes a more nuanced understanding of contemporary mobilisations.
Irregular Female Migrant Workers along Lao-Thai Borders
Creators: name: SIRAKUL SUWINTHAWONG
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: 160699 Political Science not elsewhere classified
subject: FOS: Political science

description: This thesis focuses on irregular migration from Laos to Thailand, and irregular migrant labour in Thailand. This research is set in Mukdahan – a small (in size and population) yet important province as a gateway to cross-border activities in the Mekong region. It draws on the experiences of Lao irregular female migrant labourers in Mukdahan, northeastern Thailand, and the practices and perspectives of Thai authorities and employers in relation to irregular migrant labour law and enforcement. The research explores the practices of authorities, and women’s negotiation of irregularity in the border crossing and in the context of labour, with a focus on the drivers that impact women’s decision making and how vulnerability and exploitation are defined.

Isolated pure compounds were structurally elucidated using spectral analysis. Cytotoxic, antimicrobial, antiulcer activities and antioxidant parameters were evaluated using the total methanol extract and its successive fractions. The methylene chloride fraction showed strong cytotoxic activity against HepG-2 (6.9 µg/ml) and HCT-116 (5.5 µg/ml) tumour cell lines in comparative with 5-fluorouracil (7.9 µg/ml). Treatment of indomethacin induced ulcerated rats with ethyl acetate fraction (400 mg/kg, p.o./day) achieved reduced Ulcer index (0.18), potent inhibition percentage of ulceration (84.86%) in comparison to ranitidine and high antioxidant effect. Compound(6) exhibited high docking score against gastric H+/K+ ATPase.
Evolution of cusped light-like Wilson loops and geometry of the loop space

description: We discuss the possible relation between certain geometrical properties of the loop space and energy evolution of the cusped Wilson exponentials defined on the light-cone. Analysis of the area differential equations for this special class of the Wilson loops calls for careful treatment of the ultraviolet and rapidity divergences which make those loops non-multiplicatively-renormalizable. We propose to consider the renormalization properties of the light-cone cusped Wilson loops from the point of view of the universal quantum dynamical approach introduced by Schwinger. We conjecture and discuss the relevance of the Makeenko-Migdal loop equations supplied with the modified Schwinger principle to the energy evolution of some phenomenologically significant objects, such as transverse-momentum dependent distribution functions, collinear parton densities at large-$x$, etc.

description: The use of Jupyter notebooks in concrete structural design classes, or indeed almost any other engineering class, provides students with a tool that can be extremely useful in their learning process and also throughout their professional lives. They provide an easy and yet powerful way to test, design, compare or visualise design methods and procedures. Being open source, it ensures that course content remains accessible and affordable to all students and that they can use it freely even after they leave university. Jupyter notebooks also facilitate active learning by allowing students to use notebooks by reading and running notebooks, and then they can edit or complete notebooks as assignments or simply to improve their knowledge. Undoubtedly, the more these tools are used and shared, the more benefits can be gained. This note is intended as a small contribution to that.

Universal microscopic correlation functions for products of independent Ginibre matrices

description: We consider the product of n complex non-Hermitian, independent random matrices, each of size NxN with independent identically distributed Gaussian entries (Ginibre matrices). The joint probability distribution of the complex eigenvalues of the product matrix is found to be given by a determinantal point process as in the case of a single Ginibre matrix, but with a more complicated weight given by a Meijer G-function depending on n. Using the method of orthogonal polynomials we compute all eigenvalue density correlation functions exactly for finite N and fixed n. They are given by the determinant of the corresponding kernel which we construct explicitly. In the large-N limit at fixed n we first determine the microscopic correlation functions in the bulk and at the edge of the spectrum. After unfolding they are identical to that of the Ginibre ensemble with n=1 and thus universal. In contrast the microscopic correlations we find at the origin differ for each n>1 and generalise the known Bessel-law in the complex plane for n=2 to a new hypergeometric kernel 0_F_n-1.
