description: Enriched microorganisms in sediment collected from a dioxin-contaminated site in Vietnam (Bien Hoa airbase) were used for examining the effectiveness in biological treatment of 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin in soil. Four bio-treatments were investigated using a sequential anaerobic (17 weeks) followed by an aerobic (6 weeks) incubation. The maximum removal efficiency was approximately 60% even at an extremely low pH (approx. 3.6) condition. Surfactant Tween-80 was added to enhance the bioavailability of dioxin in two treatments, but it appeared to biostimulate methanogens rather than dechlorinators. As a result, methane production was the highest while the dioxin removal efficiency was the lowest, as compared with the other bio-treatments. Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) coated on nanoscale zero valent iron (nZVI) surface used in two treatments could prevent the direct contact between bacterial cell surface and nZVI which prevented cell death and lysis, hence enhancing dioxin removal. The presence of CMC­­_nZVI in bio-treatments gradually released H2 required for microbiological processes, but the amount used in the experiments were likely too high to maintain optimum H2 levels for biostimulating dechlorinators rather than methanogens.
title: The role and regulation of AKT in CD40-mediated survival and proliferation of CLL cells
Creators: name: Chapman, EA
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository

description: Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is a proliferative disease in which malignant B lymphocytes gradually accumulate in the peripheral blood, lymph nodes and bone marrow. It is the most common leukaemia in adults and currently incurable. Novel therapeutic strategies are thus required. The serine/threonine kinase AKT has been shown to contribute to the survival and expansion of CLL cells. However, the exact role of AKT in CD40 stimulation-induced survival and proliferation of CLL cells is not well understood. The aim of this study was to investigate how AKT mediates CLL-cell survival and proliferation, in particular under the conditions that mimic the protective tissue microenvironment in vivo. I therefore used a co-culture system in which primary CLL cells were cultured with transfected mouse fibroblasts expressing human CD154 to model the lymph node environment where CLL cells interact with T cells through the CD40-CD154 signalling pathway, resulting in their enhanced survival and proliferation. I showed that AKT was activated in CD40-stimulated CLL cells. AKT mediated a protective effect of CD40 stimulation against cytotoxic drug (bendamustine)-induced cell death, as inhibiting AKT activity by a selective, small molecule inhibitor potentiated drug-induced killing in the stimulated cells. I also showed that AKT was required for CD40 stimulation-induced cell growth (increase in size) in CLL cells. In addition, I uncovered a selective requirement of AKT for proliferation induced by CD40 + IL-4 in CLL cells, since pharmacological inhibition of AKT significantly inhibited such proliferation in the leukaemic, but not normal B cells. In contrast, the requirement of AKT in proliferation induced by CD40 + IL-21 in CLL cells appears to be case-dependent. Further studies are thus required to understand why inhibition of AKT activity reduces CD40 + IL-21-induced proliferation in CLL cells from some but not other cases. Finally, I examined the regulation of AKT activation by the class I PI3K p110 isoforms and showed for the first time that expression of both PI3K p110δ and p110γ was upregulated in CD40-stimulated CLL cells. This novel observation has provided a rational basis for a future study on the function of the upregulated isoforms, in particular PI3K p110γ isoform in stimulated CLL cells in order to establish its role in the pathogenesis of CLL. In conclusion, I have demonstrated that the PI3K-AKT pathway plays an important role in CLL-cell survival, growth and proliferation in response to CD40 stimulation, a stimulus that is highly relevant to the lymph node microenvironment in CLL.

The cultural economy of TiVo in Australia

Year: 2024

description: TiVo is a digital video recording device that was first introduced into the North American market in 1999. Since then, TiVo has been made available in many countries, including Australia in July 2008. This paper seeks to examine TiVo in Australia, using the cultural economy of media and communications as its theoretical framework. While related to ‘political economy’, in this paper we position the notion of ‘cultural economy’ as a preferable term on the basis that cultural economy research focuses specifically on how discourse and cultural practice constitute the spaces within which economic action is formatted and framed. This theoretical framework is employed to examine: (1) questions of ownership and control, with primary consideration given to TiVo licensing issues, and corresponding technical alterations to device capabilities that came with this; (2) representational concerns, how TiVo has been marketed, depicted, debated and discussed in the popular and trade presses; and, (3) questions of consumption, by considering, at the end of its first two years in the Australian market, how users have engaged with it thus far.

The australian government internet filter: Its scope, and its potential civil liberties implications

description: In this article, we examine the structural elements of the Australian Government's filter policy as it has evolved over time, paying particular attention to the scope of the proposal, and the possible civil liberties implications of the proposal as it is presently formulated. More precisely, we argue that, by anchoring the proposal in the RC classification scheme, the filter will block far more than illegal material and, as a consequence, there is cause to be worried that a censorship regime is being created, as opposed to a system to protect children. We also explore the significance of civil liberties in the context of a liberal democracy and demonstrate the value they bring to Australia and show how freedom of speech, expression and information are not properly protected under Australia's Constitutional Framework creating consequences for established democratic freedoms in Australian society if the present ISP policy is to be implemented.

description: This article reports on findings from an ethnographic study of fifteen participant households in North Hobart and Midway Point, Tasmania. Key themes emerging from this research have been gathered up and presented through the metaphor 'digital literacy'. The first half of the article is concerned with developing a critical understanding of what is at stake in the notion, or metaphor, of digital literacy. The second half tests these understandings against our research. In our conversations with the people of North Hobart and Midway Point, we found evidence of digital illiteracy, and also evidence of the weaknesses of digital literacy as an explanatory trope. We group these findings using three themes: the presence of instrumental literacy; the illegibility of the NBN and its HSB services; and structural conditions limiting the acquisition of the NBN and its HSB services. These draw upon the digital literacy metaphor, but make its shortcomings clear, and the latter two in particular extend the metaphor from a personal deficit model to one that embraces technologies and social structures.

description: Sketching is integral to the design process, as it allows reflection in action, enables ambiguity and abstraction, encourages the unexpected, externalises mental imagery, and provokes creativity though analogical reasoning and reinterpretation. The articulation of the concept facilitates a discussion not only with peers and clients, but more importantly with oneself in a reflective practicum. In the context of engineering practice, sketching serves multiple social and cognitive functions throughout all stages of the product design and development process. Fundamentally sketching is the 'first language' of all designers and it is apparent that the design process can be limited by one’s capacity to use drawing for cognitive exploration. It is therefore essential that development of drawing skills is integrated throughout engineering education. This paper discusses curriculum initiatives aimed at developing a drawing culture amongst product design engineering students. 'SketchFest' is a sketching and ideation program that augments existing drawing skills, introduces new techniques and promotes student awareness of the value of sketching in product design and development.
title: An Investigation into the Significance of Tissue pH and Biofilms on Wound Healing
Creators: name: Jones, EM
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2016

description: A new paradigm is coming to the forefront of chronic wound research and a potential treatment target; this is the wound pH. Non-healing wounds typically have a more alkaline pH, and from previous experimental studies, it appears that attempts should be made to reduce pH and shift the wound toward an acidic environment. This investigation aimed to determine the effects of pH alone and the combination of altering pH and bacterial biofilms on key wound healing processes in vitro. Normal healthy equine skin fibroblasts (NF) and equine chronic wound fibroblasts (CF) were cultured in pH 6, 7.5 and 9 conditions or planktonic conditioned media (PCM) and biofilm conditioned media (BCM) titrated to pH 6, 7.5 and 9. After 24 hours conditioned media was collected and analysed for the presence of collagen, fibronectin, glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and tropoelastin. Cell migration was analysed over 48 hours: a scratch was created on a confluent layer of cells, and then cells were incubated in the different conditions and images taken at 0, 24 and 48hours. Scratch images were analysed using ImageJ and percentage wound closure determined. Results revealed that pH had no effect on ECM abundance from CF, however, it was evident that there was a lower amount of these ECM molecules from CF compared to NF. BCM alone affected ECM abundance with no further effects seen with pH alterations. Migration of CF was significantly diminished in pH 9 conditions compared with pH 6 and pH 7.5. NF were not affected by alkaline pH, with similar migration rates observed in pH 7.5 and pH 9 conditions. The reduced rate of migration observed in alkaline conditions may be explained by the reduced abundance of ECM from CF. Cell migration was significantly affected by the combination of BCM and alkaline pH, with significant inhibition compared to other pH and PCM conditions. To my knowledge this is the first study which has investigated the effect of pH on wound related parameters and the combined effect of pH and bacterial biofilms on wound healing. This study demonstrates that pH does play a role in wound healing. However, it is important to note that many other factors are involved in chronic wounds and should be taken into account when developing future research. Findings here warrant further investigation into pH and wound healing in vivo. Simply making sure that the wound remains at neutral pH and does not increase to unfavourable alkaline levels may be sufficient to prevent wounds from progressing to a chronic non-healing state.

description: The topics Blockchain and Smart Contracts have received a lot of attention in recent years due to their manifold applicational possibilities in industry and science. Apart from the several advantages, e.g. the genuine history of transactions, there are also drawbacks. This thesis aims to realize the potential of Smart Contracts on distributed databases, serving as an alternative basis to Blockchains without losing the advantages. For this purpose, the Encrypted Transaction-History Validation and Authentication Model (ETHVAM) is presented. ETHVAM builds on a cryptographic concept which is based on the Blockchain principles but introduces validators as a trusted authority to supervise the update process. Therefore, the validity of entries is guaranteed. In order to realize communication between Smart Contracts and distributed databases, in an accessible way, the Smart Contract Application Language for Databases (SCALD) is designed. SCALD's advantages are its independence from a specific database and the possibility to run programs in unsecured environments due to its Turing incompleteness. The basic concept of ETHVAM and SCALD is demonstrated with simple application examples in this work. Furthermore, the security of this system is evaluated and possible vulnerabilities are identified. This work addresses most of the problems of Blockchain systems, therefore it is a basis for future research in this area. The source code related to this thesis is available at

description: Engineering must provide the global community with socially responsible, ethical and sustainable design solutions. The potential for engineering designers to contribute positively to the betterment of society, through product service systems that provide opportunities for sustainable development, enhance societal well-being and empower communities to be self determining, must be realised. This will require the engineering community to take leadership roles in product design and development and to engage with emerging economies to deliver appropriate designs and sustainable technologies. Social responsibility and sustainability will need to be at the forefront of product design and development and more importantly, integrated throughout engineering education. As global designers, engineering graduates must be ethical and responsible, fully cognizant of the consequences of their professional activities, their potential for global societal contribution and their responsibilities to all stakeholders and communities. Opportunities exist for well considered curricula to drive new engineering paradigms and determine attitudinal change amongst the next engineering designers.

description: Book editors in the social sciences and humanities play an important role in their fields but little is known about their typical publication and collaboration patterns. To partially fill this gap, we compare Flemish editors and other researchers, in terms of career stage, productivity, publication types, publications with domestic and international collaboration as well as the number of (international or all) unique co-authors, co-editors and associated book chapter authors. The results show that editors are most established researchers, especially in the social sciences, produce more book chapters and monographs than do other researchers and are more productive. Nevertheless, editors collaborate less than do other researchers, both in terms of publications and in number of co-authors. Including book chapter authors in the editors' collaboration networks makes those networks substantially larger, demonstrating that editors do not mainly call upon authors from their existing collaboration network when choosing book chapter authors in the edited books. Finally, editors seem to co-author with their book chapter authors slightly more often after the publication of the edited book than before. The article “Book editors in the social sciences and humanities: an analysis of publication and collaboration patterns of established researchers in Flanders” is published in Learned Publishing in 2015. Due to the limited space in and the readership of the journal, the authors of the article decided to make additional material available through this document, published on Figshare. This document contains information on individual disciplines. In order to keep the analysis of the individual disciplines robust, only disciplines with at least 30 established editors are discussed in detail: History; Law; Linguistics; Literature; Philosophy (including History of Ideas); Theology (including Religious Studies) (see table 5) - all Humanities disciplines. In addition, this document compares the different groups under study using three statistical measures: Cramer’s V, The Mann-Whitney U test and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.

description: Sketching is often described as the first language of designers and it is a critical skill for engineers and designers as it enables the multiple social and cognitive functions represented by drawing within product design and development. Drawing acumen is considered by industry as a core and indispensible skill in product design, highly efficient and free of the constraints imposed by sequential and logic based digital processes. It enables abstraction, embraces ambiguity, facilitates exploration and unexpected outcomes and provokes creativity through reflection and reinterpretation. It is apparent that any lack of ability to use drawing for creative exploration, reflection or communication can limit creativity, and constrain innovation and the efficiency of the design process. However digital design processes (i.e. CAD) have significantly impacted on the sketching skills of design and engineering students. The persuasiveness of screen-based outcomes has led a decline in drawing skill acquisition to the detriment of both design creativity and design communication. The resultant lack of sketching skills has impacted on students' academic performance, their design confidence and creativity and their future employment potential. This paper describes SketchFest; a curricula initiative aimed at re-establishing drawing competency amongst engineering students in direct response to industry expectations. This new curriculum addresses industry concerns regarding graduate attributes through a targeted program that embeds sketching skill development throughout the learning journey.

description: There is widespread agreement that better policy representation increases citizens’ satisfaction with democracy. Previous research on this topic has generally focused on ideological congruence between citizens and representatives. In this article, it is argued that public–elite agreement on policy priorities is another essential aspect of policy representation, but has been largely overlooked in this context. Citizens whose issue concerns are higher on elites’ agendas should be more satisfied with the functioning of democracy. This hypothesis is tested by linking voter survey data to candidate survey and news media content data from the 2009 German Longitudinal Election Study. The results show that citizens whose issue concerns are salient amongst party candidates and in the media campaign coverage are indeed more satisfied with democracy in their country. This effect exists not only for congruence with the party for which individuals voted, but also for agreement with the other parties.

description: Current methods to evaluate the status of a cell are largely focused on fluorescent identification of molecular biomarkers. The invasive nature of these methods – requiring either fixation, chemical dyes, genetic alteration, or a combination of these – prevents subsequent analysis of samples. In light of this limitation, studies have considered the use of physical markers to differentiate cell stages. Acoustic microscopy is an ultrahigh frequency (>100 MHz) ultrasound technology that can be used to calculate the mechanical and physical properties of biological cells in real-time, thereby evaluating cell stage in live cells without invasive biomarker evaluation. Using acoustic microscopy, MCF-7 human breast adenocarcinoma cells within the G1, G2, and metaphase phases of the proliferative cell cycle, in addition to early and late programmed cell death, were examined. Physical properties calculated include the cell height, sound speed, acoustic impedance, cell density, adiabatic bulk modulus, and the ultrasonic attenuation. A total of 290 cells were measured, 58 from each cell phase, assessed using fluorescent and phase contrast microscopy. Cells actively progressing from G1 to metaphase were marked by a 28% decrease in attenuation, in contrast to the induction of apoptosis from G1, which was marked by a significant 81% increase in attenuation. Furthermore late apoptotic cells separated into 2 distinct groups based on ultrasound attenuation, suggesting that presently-unidentified sub-stages may exist within late apoptosis. A methodology has been implemented for the identification of cell stages without the use of chemical dyes, fixation, or genetic manipulation.

description: Enriched microorganisms in sediment collected from a dioxin contaminated site in Vietnam (Bien Hoa airbase) were used for examining the effectiveness in biological treatment of 2,3,7,8-TCDD in soil. Four bio-treatments were investigated using a sequential anaerobic (17 weeks) followed by an aerobic (6 weeks) incubation. The maximum removal efficiency was approx. 60% even at extremely low pH (approx. 3.6) condition. Surfactant Tween-80 was added to enhance bioavailability of dioxin in two treatments but it appeared to biostimulate methanogens rather than dechlorinators. As a result, the methane production was the highest while the dioxin removal efficiency was the lowest, as compared with the other bio-treatments. Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) coated on nZVI surface used in two treatments could prevent the direct contact between bacterial cell surface and nZVI which prevented cell death and lysis hence enhancing dioxin removal. The presence of CMC-nZVI in bio-treatments gradually released H2 required for microbiological processes but the amount used in the experiments were likely too high to maintain optimum H2 levels for biostimulating dechlorinators rather than methanogens.
A Clockwork Orange Between. Human Drives and Political Control
Creators: name: Toledo, Michel
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2011

description: This essay analyzes Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange through a critical lens that intertwines ethical, political, and social dimensions. Through the case of Alex DeLarge, it explores the tension between violence as a human drive and its instrumentalization by the State for social control. The Ludovico treatment is examined as a totalitarian device that, under the guise of rehabilitation, suppresses individual free will. The essay investigates the relationship between human needs and political needs, highlighting the contradictions of institutions that, rather than offering structural solutions, perpetuate the problem. Kubrick presents a modern fable where punishment and redemption blur, leaving the viewer with a disquieting question: is individual transformation possible without systemic transformation?
A comparative evaluation of aptitude in problem solving in engineering education

description: Engineering education has been criticised for focusing solely on the science of engineering, to the detriment of preparing students for the practice of engineering. Graduates are considered by many in industry to be ill-prepared for real world problem solving and to have limited experience in applying their engineering knowledge to product outcomes. Instruction in design is uncommon, and where existing, follows a linear and predictable process that does not afford students opportunity for experimentation and exploration. However new engineering education pedagogy seeks to address these issues through early integration of design and project based learning into the curricula. This paper describes the initial findings of a comparative evaluation exercise conducted to measure relative aptitude in problem solving by two disciplines of final year engineering students and thus validate the impact of new engineering curricula. The evaluated students were from a typical Mechanical Engineering course and from the less conventional Product Design Engineering program which integrates industrial design studies into mechanical engineering curricula. Students‟ problem solving methods were observed, the design outcomes were evaluated and participants surveyed. These exercises challenged the student‟s problem framing and solving abilities and required the application of engineering science and design acumen to achieve a creative solution for either an open-ended or constrained problem. The early findings of this ongoing investigation are examined here, and the benefits of developing a creative design focus within an engineering curriculum are clearly evident.

description: Recent studies suggest that order working memory (WM) may be specifically associated with numerical abilities. This study explored behavioral performance and neural networks associated with verbal WM in adults with a history of developmental dyscalculia (DD). The DD group performed significantly poorer but with the same precision than the control group in order WM tasks and showed a lower activation of the right middle frontal gyrus during the order WM and the alphabetical order judgment tasks. This study suggests a persistent impairment in order WM in adults with DD, characterized by more general difficulties in controlled activation of order information.

description: Abstract: Wormholes, rooted in Einstein's theory of general relativity, captivate scientific inquiry and imagination. These structures, also called Einstein-Rosen bridges, propose shortcuts through spacetime, connecting distant regions. This overview explores their theoretical framework, mathematical foundations, and potential applications, including traversable wormholes for safe passage. Speculative scenarios range from interstellar travel to time manipulation, stimulating scientific investigation. While practical realization remains uncertain, wormholes continue to fuel curiosity about the cosmos.

title: Identification & Characterisation of Transcription Factors Affecting the Circadian System of Arabidopsis thaliana.
Creators: name: Tindall, AJ
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository

description: Circadian clocks are endogenous, persistent, temperature-compensating timekeepers which provide temporal organization of biological processes from cyanobacteria to man. Within plants, the circadian clock plays an important role in controlling desirable agronomic traits, integrating a number of abiotic stress signalling pathways. Much of our current understanding of the plant clock has come from the model organism Arabidopsis thaliana, with the vast majority of studies using null mutants and transgenic luciferase reporters. However, whilst our models of the transcriptional-translational feedback loops underlying the clock have become increasingly complex in the last 20 years, the regulation of several key components of the clock on the transcriptional level remains unknown. There is a need for new components in the model to fill in these gaps. Many known components of the plant clock are transcription factors. It was hypothesised therefore that the systematic screening and analysis of putative transcription factors would reveal novel circadian phenotypes. To this effect, a library of 338 hormone inducible transcription factor over-expression lines was screened with the novel delayed fluorescence assay to identify transcription factors giving circadian period phenotypes. Over-expression allows the investigation of partially redundant genes, and of those normally expressed within a hard-to-assay tissue. Twenty-one such genes were identified. Through the use of in silico tools to identify circadian expression patterns and promoter motifs, this shortlist was analysed for predicted interactions and modes of regulation. Traditional pCAB2:LUC+ luciferase markers were used to further phenotype the TF lines, providing a deeper understanding of the effect of the gene on the circadian clock, whilst knock out libraries and hypocotyl elongation assays under monochromatic light were employed to further characterise the genes in question. In this way, the longlist was reduced to three putative transcription factors which gave a circadian phenotypes of interest: INDOLE-3-ACETIC ACID INDUCIBLE 11, the freezing-response regulator MYBC1, and B-BOX DOMAIN PROTEIN/ CONSTANS-LIKE 15 (BBX13/COL15)

description: Interest in mobile computing applications has been increasing over the past few years. The Healthcare sector has recognized the potential for providing at 'point-of-care' access to applications through mobile devices. The business value of the implementation of information technology (IT) has been studied from various perspectives. This paper explores the value of the implementation of mobile computing on the efficiency and effectiveness of an Emergency Medical Services organization in Australia. The research question that is addressed in this paper is: In what way do mobile systems deliver internal value in emergency healthcare organizations? The paper evaluates the responses by various stakeholders in an Australian Emergency Service organization. The paper makes the following three contributions. First, the case study indicates that the introduction of mobile systems can support ambulance services in providing more efficient and effective information that could potentially impact on their performance evaluation. Second, a number of advantages of the mobile system for emergency services are highlighted. Third, a delicate balance between internal data capture requirements versus external requirements of readability of the final electronic Patient Care Record is highlighted.
