description: In the field of shape analysis, landmarks are defined as a low-dimensional, representative set of important features of an object’s shape that can be used to identify regions of interest along its outline. An important problem is to infer the number and arrangement of landmarks, given a set of shapes drawn from a population. One proposed approach defines a posterior distribution over landmark locations by associating each landmark configuration with a linear reconstruction of the shape. In practice, sampling from the resulting posterior density is challenging using standard Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods because multiple configurations of landmarks can describe a complex shape similarly well, manifesting in a multi-modal posterior with well-separated modes. Standard MCMC methods traverse multi-modal posteriors poorly and, even when multiple modes are identified, the relative amount of time spent in each one can be misleading. We apply new advances in the parallel tempering literature to the problem of landmark detection, providing guidance on implementation generalized to other applications within shape analysis. Proposal adaptation is used during burn-in to ensure efficient traversal of the parameter space while maintaining computational efficiency. We demonstrate this algorithm on simulated data and common shapes obtained from computer vision scenes.

description: A subset $B$ of a group $G$ is called a difference basis of $G$ if each element $g\in G$ can be written as the difference $g=ab^{-1}$ of some elements $a,b\in B$. The smallest cardinality $|B|$ of a difference basis $B\subset G$ is called the difference size of $G$ and is denoted by $Δ[G]$. The fraction $ð[G]:=Δ[G]/{\sqrt{|G|}}$ is called the difference characteristic of $G$. We prove that for every $n\in\mathbb N$ the dihedral group $D_{2n}$ of order $2n$ has the difference characteristic $\sqrt{2}\leð[D_{2n}]\leq\frac{48}{\sqrt{586}}\approx1.983$. Moreover, if $n\ge 2\cdot 10^{15}$, then $ð[D_{2n}]

description: Recently, the core-periphery (CP) structure of networks as one type of meso-scale structure has received attention. The CP structure is composed of a dense core and a sparse connected periphery. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to detect the CP structure based on the 3-tuple motif, which is inspired by the idea of motif. In this algorithm, we first define a 3-tuple motif by considering the property of nodes, and then a motif adjacency matrix is formed based on the defined motif, finally, the detection of the CP structure is converted to find a cluster that minimizes the smallest motif conductance. Our algorithm can detect different CP structures: including single or multiple CP structure; and local or global CP structures. Results in the synthetic and the empirical networks indicate that the method is efficient and can apply to large-scale networks. More importantly, our algorithm is parameter free, where the core and periphery are detected without the need for any predefined parameters.

description: In this paper we study the effect of actual, locally resolved, field emission (FE) area on electron emission characteristics of uniform semimetallic nitrogen-incorporated ultrananocrystalline diamond ((N)UNCD) field emitters. To obtain the actual FE area, imaging experiments were carried out in a vacuum system in a parallel-plate configuration with a specialty anode phosphor screen. Electron emission micrographs were taken concurrently with $I$-$V$ characteristics measurements. It was found that in uniform (N)UNCD films the field emitting site distribution is not uniform across the surface, and that the actual FE area depends on the applied electric field. To quantify the actual FE area dependence on the applied electric field, a novel automated image processing algorithm was developed. The algorithm processes extensive imaging datasets and calculates emission area per image. By doing so, it was determined that the emitting area was always significantly smaller than the FE cathode surface area of 0.152 cm$^2$ available. Namely, the actual FE area would change from $5\times10^{-3}$ \% to 1.5 \% of the total cathode area with the applied electric field increased. Finally and most importantly, it was shown that when $I$-$E$ curves as measured in the experiment were normalized by the field-dependent emission area, the resulting $j$-$E$ curves demonstrated a strong kink and significant deviation from Fowler-Nordheim (FN) law, and eventually saturated at a current density of $\sim$100 mA/cm$^2$. This value was nearly identical for all studied (N)UNCD films, regardless of the substrate.

description: The New Zealand deer industry has made notable genetic progress in the last decades. Initially based around velvet antler and venison, deer are now selected based on several traits including carcass composition, reproduction, and disease resistance within DEERSelect, the industry performance recording system in New Zealand. Due to its low cost and manageable logistics for deer, the genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) technology was chosen to replace microsatellites for parentage assignment and has allowed a national genetic evaluation across flocks since 2015. Genomic information, however, is not yet fully exploited as evaluations currently only use a traditional pedigree-based, best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) approach, to estimate the genetic merit of an animal. To assess the benefits of using genomic information in the evaluations, here we compare BLUP, genomic BLUP (GBLUP) and single-step genomic BLUP (SSGBLUP) evaluations for several production traits in the NZ deer industry. Using forward-validation, we estimate the prediction accuracy and bias for these three approaches in 19,863 red animals born between 2018 and 2020. We show that regardless of the approach, GBLUP or SSGBLUP, incorporating genomic information explicitly improves prediction accuracy and reduces bias. Across all traits, we estimate gains in accuracy of 16% for GBLUP and 18% for SSGBLUP on average for red deer. We therefore recommend the incorporation of genomic information in the evaluations performed by DEERSelect and propose a computational pipeline to support the medium to long-term growth of this dynamic livestock industry in New Zealand.

description: Maximum likelihood gene tree of re-annotated complete and partial TNL genes from three Arabidopsis species. This gene tree was inferred from the alignment of coding sequences obtained with MAFFT, where only those reliably aligned columns with a GUIDANCE2 confidence score > 0.93 were employed. The most appropriate nucleotide substitution model was selected with program SMS and the maximum likelihood phylogenies was inferred with PhyML 3.0. The numbers on every node indicate posterior probabilities >0.70 supporting the phylogenetic relationships inferred. The clades employed for defining alignment groups (GT1 to GT46) are outlined with the first column of bars on the right of the gene tree. After evaluation of similarity levels and third codon position saturation, only sequences from groups indicated with orange bars where further investigated. Among them, clades indicated with ω + reported significant evidences of positive selection. This gene tree recovered the clades TNL-A to TNL-H identified in the first published phylogeny of A. thaliana TNLs [25], here they are indicated with a second column of bars on the right of the gene tree. Color-coding of sequence IDs indicates Arabidopsis halleri in green, Arabidopsis lyrata in black and Arabidopsis thaliana in red.

description: The occurrence rate of the event of interest might be quite small (rare) in some cases, although sample size is large enough for Binary Logistic Regression (LR) model. In studies where the sample size is not large enough, the parameters to be estimated might be biased because of rare event case. Parameter estimations of LR model are usually obtained using Newton–Raphson (NR) algorithm for Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE). It is known that these estimations are usually biased in small samples but asymptotically unbiased. On the other hand, initial parameter values are sensitive for parameter estimation in NR for MLE. Our aim of the study is to present an approach on parameter estimation bias using inverse conditional distributions based on distribution assumption giving true parameter values and to compare this approach on different penalized LR methods. With this aim, LR, Firth LR, FLIC and FLAC methods were compared in terms of parameter estimation bias, predicted probability bias and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) for different sample sizes, event and correlation rates conducting a detailed Monte Carlo simulation study. Findings suggest that FLIC method should be preferred in rare event and small sample cases.

description: Commercial sheep milking is an emerging industry in New Zealand (NZ). The purpose of this review is to provide a brief industry update and to provide an overview of a six-year research programme spanning on-farm production and environmental footprint, through to milk composition, processing, and functionality, and its contribution to both fundamental knowledge and practical information for the NZ dairy sheep value chain. Key outcomes of the research programme included: the development of a suite of lamb-rearing regimes to utilise all offspring as either replacement or for meat production; improved feeding management of ewes to enhance milk production; best-practice guidelines for effluent management; evaluation of nitrogen leaching to inform practices to minimise the impact on waterways; establishing an understanding of the composition of sheep milk produced under NZ farming conditions and the functional differences compared to milk from other species to support product development opportunities. A summary of the industry impacts from this research and future directions is also provided.
Effects and outcomes of a study abroad semester: intercultural competence development in an Australian case study

description: Global citizenship and intercultural competence are highly sought-after skills in today’s globalised world. Desired graduate capabilities, as developed through higher education, include the attitudes, skills and knowledge that one needs to competently and successfully live, work and interact in a world where peoples’ cultural identities are developed beyond national borders. Through the internationalisation of the tertiary education system, institutions can assist students in developing these capabilities to effectively and appropriately communicate with people of different cultural backgrounds. Outbound mobility and study abroad is one side of these internationalisation efforts, which helps students to become interculturally competent global citizens. In this thesis, after an introduction of the importance of study abroad on a global and national level, an overview of current theories in the field of intercultural and language learning is given. The attitudes, skills and knowledge that an intercultural speaker has to exhibit are explored next and research outcomes on their enhancement through study abroad are discussed. This leads into the field of the development of intercultural competence during overseas studies and the adaptation process that is connected to it. Following a qualitative research methodology, the concept of intercultural competence and its development during a study abroad semester are examined from the students’ perspective. On a conceptual level, students’ opinions on intercultural competence components slightly differed from those listed in the research literature; however their development, especially on a behavioural and cognitive level could be confirmed to correspond to previous research results. The role of the target language was separately focused on and of special interest for this study. No direct connection between the level of comfort in intercultural encounters and the competence level in the target language could be found; however, the importance of culture contact for language learning could be confirmed.

description: Quantitative calculations of the properties of hadrons and nuclei, with assessed uncertainties, have emerged as competitive with experimental measurements in a number of major cases. We may well be entering an era where theoretical predictions are critical for experimental progress. Cross-fertilization between the fields of relativistic hadronic structure and non-relativistic nuclear structure is readily apparent. Non-perturbative renormalization methods such as Similarity Renormalization Group and Okubo-Lee-Suzuki schemes as well as many-body methods such as Coupled Cluster, Configuration Interaction and Lattice Simulation methods are now employed and advancing in both major areas of physics. New algorithms to apply these approaches on supercomputers are shared among these areas of physics. The roads to success have intertwined with each community taking the lead at various times in the recent past. I briefly sketch these fascinating paths and comment on some symbiotic relationships. I also overview some recent results from the Hamiltonian Basis Light-Front Quantization approach.

description: With the invention of microcontrollers and integral circuit boards, there is a necessity for developing a test procedure for those boards. Microcontrollers are getting very small, which makes fault finding in these boards very difficult. RF Technology Pty. Ltd. is a Sydney based company that develops radio base stations and has seen an increase in their faulty circuit boards. The first aim and objective of this project is to develop a systematic way to find faults in the control circuit board in one of their products. The fault-finding procedure should test the control board by checking the operation of all the chips on the control circuit board and the tracks between the chips. The problem with testing the control circuit board is that it must be taken out of the radio base station, however the control board must be powered on. The solution to this problem and the second aim and objective of this project, is to design another circuit board (test jig) to power the control board while being tested. Designing and manufacturing circuit boards can be very expensive and time-consuming which can lead to problems with the budget and time frame of the project. The solution to this problem and the third aim and objective of this project, is to redesign and assemble a pick and place machine. Due to the complexity of the control circuit board, keeping track of the tests, the test results and the status of the control circuit board is a problem. The solution is to design a Graphical User Interface (GUI) the test result and control circuit board status which is the final task in this project. The fault-finding procedure was developed using the standard called Joint Test Action Group (JTAG). JTAG is an electronics industry association formed in the 1980s for developing a method of checking designs and testing printed circuit boards. Using JTAG five out of seven microcontrollers on the RF Technology control circuit board and the tracks between them were tested. A test jig was designed and manufactured to reliably test the control circuit boards. The result of combining the test procedure, new test jig and the GUI is very significant for RF Technology to test and repair their control circuit boards.

A Boltzmann approach to percolation on random triangulations

description: We study the percolation model on Boltzmann triangulations using a generating function approach. More precisely, we consider a Boltzmann model on the set of finite planar triangulations, together with a percolation configuration (either site-percolation or bond-percolation) on this triangulation. By enumerating triangulations with boundaries according to both the boundary length and the number of vertices/edges on the boundary, we are able to identify a phase transition for the geometry of the origin cluster. For instance, we show that the probability that a percolation interface has length n decays exponentially with n except at a particular value p\_c of the percolation parameter p for which the decay is polynomial (of order n --10/3). Moreover, the probability that the origin cluster has size n decays exponentially if p < p c and polynomially if p $\ge$ p\_c. The critical percolation value is p\_c = 1/2 for site percolation, and p c = 2 $\sqrt$ 3--1 11 for bond percolation. These values coincide with critical percolation thresholds for infinite triangula-tions identified by Angel for site-percolation, and by Angel \& Curien for bond-percolation, and we give an independent derivation of these percolation thresholds. Lastly, we revisit the criticality conditions for random Boltzmann maps, and argue that at p\_c , the percolation clusters conditioned to have size n should converge toward the stable map of parameter 7 6 introduced by Le Gall \& Miermont. This enables us to derive heuristically some new critical exponents.

Who are the early dynastic elite?: Evaluating Egyptian elite cemeteries dated to the First, Second and Third Dynasties
Creators: name: Rochecouste, Olivier P.
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The aim of this thesis is to review the archaeological evidence we have for elites during the Early Dynastic period of ancient Egypt, especially mortuary contexts. The archaeological evidence itself mostly comes from mortuary contexts which is the main point of reference for discussions surrounding social developments for ancient Egyptian studies. Numerous analogies have been used from Sociology, Anthropology and Archaeology to emphasise markers of social differentiation from mortuary contexts to distinguish the presence of social groups, including elites. The term "elites" became a fixture of Early Dynastic literature when a category was needed to label the tombs and associated archaeological material from North Saqqara, against the evidence for the royal tombs located in the Early Dynastic necropolis at Abydos. However, the theme of elite tombs has been rarely questioned for the Early Dynastic period, especially since there are other contemporary tombs across Egypt which are comparable to the tombs at North Saqqara. Considering the literature which points out these elite tombs, this thesis questions the theme of identifying elites from the mortuary record and attempts to ask who this elite group was. This will be done by reviewing the archaeological data from a variety of Early Dynastic cemetery sites located from the Nile Delta to Upper Egypt. This data will then be evaluated using an inductive approach to test the authenticity of the mortuary evidence used to accentuate the presence and influence of elites upon Early Dynastic society. The expected outcome is to provide an evaluation on whether the analogy of elites is suitable for Early Dynastic studies, especially since the presence of elites are a crucial component for the origins of the first Egyptian state.

description: We propose classical interferometry with low-intensity thermal radiation for the estimation of nonclassical independent Gaussian processes in material samples. We generally determine the mean square error of the phase-independent parameters of an unknown Gaussian process, considering a noisy source of radiation the phase of which is not locked to the pump of the process. We verify the sufficiency of passive optical elements in the interferometer, active optical elements do not improve the quality of the estimation. We also prove the robustness of the method against the noise and loss in both interferometric channels and the sample. The proposed method is suitable even for the case when a source of radiation sufficient for homodyne detection is not available.

description: The Web has evolved into a tangled mass of interconnected services within the last two decades,where websites import resources i.e. data or contents from third-party domains. These domains serve several purposes including analytics, tracking and advertisement. Websites trust their third parties for resources in the process of loading contents or data to their web pages. The dependency of resources sometimes extend further from third-party domains to other domains thus fabricating a chain of dependency. In the resource dependency chain, the first party websites are indeed trusting resources obtained by their direct third-parties through requests to other domains. The chain of dependency cannot be rigidly controlled by the first-party websites as they have very scarce or no information of where the loaded content have originated from. Since this is the case, the websites even end up trusting compromised websites for contents unknowingly and become prone to multifarious attacks. We characterize the implicit trust in the chain of dependency for Alexa's top 30k websites and estimate the level of risks that first-party websites may be venturing while loading resources from thirty-party domains. We found that 10.55% of the resources of top-1000 Alexa websites are obtained implicitly and that they constitute 4.1% of malicious resources in the overall count of external resources.

On the isotope effect in compressed superconducting H$_\textrm{3}$S and D$_\textrm{3}$S

description: A maximum superconductive transition temperature $T_\textrm{C}$ = 203.5 K has recently been reported for a sample of the binary compound tri-hydrogen sulfide (H$_\textrm{3}$S) prepared at high pressure and with room temperature annealing. Measurements of $T_\textrm{C}$ for H$_\textrm{3}$S and its deuterium counterpart D$_\textrm{3}$S have suggested a mass isotope effect exponent $α$ with anomalous enhancements for reduced applied pressures. While widely cited for evidence of phonon-based superconductivity, the measured $T_\textrm{C}$ is shown to exhibit important dependences on the quality and character of the H$_\textrm{3}$S and D$_\textrm{3}$S materials under study; examination of resistance versus temperature data shows that variations in $T_\textrm{C}$ and apparent $α$ are strongly correlated with residual resistance ratio, indicative of sensitivity to metallic order. Correlations also extend to the fractional widths of the superconducting transitions. Using resistance data to quantify and compensate for the evident materials differences between H$_\textrm{3}$S and D$_\textrm{3}$S samples, a value of $α$ = 0.043 $\pm$ 0.140 is obtained. Thus, when corrected for the varying levels of disorder, the experimental upper limit ($\leq$0.183) lies well below $α$ derived in phonon-based theories.

Free-to-air: a history of Sydney's commercial television programming, 1956-2012
Creators: name: Hastie, Madeleine L.
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis presents a history of television programming on Sydney's commercial free-to-air (FTA) Channels 7, 9 and 10, set against Australia's social, political and economic milieu between 1956 and 2012. Beginning in 1956 with the launch of television in Sydney, Australia's largest television market, it maps the evolution of programming genres within the broad fields of information (news, current affairs, religion, sport and children's programming) and entertainment (light entertainment, drama and reality TV). In doing so, it reveals not a consistent process of development, but rather, one that is predominantly cyclical. Sydney, and indeed, Australian television are part of an international cultural system. By tracing broad, global trends through the prism of Sydney's commercial television in particular categories, the thesis provides insights into changes in the production and distribution, and to a lesser extent the reception, of Sydney television programming against a wider canvas.

description: We investigated the evolution of magnetism in the UIr1-xRhxGe system by the systematic study of high-quality single crystals. Lattice parameters of both parent compounds are very similar resulting in almost identical nearest interatomic uranium distance close to the Hill limit. We established the x-T phase diagram of the UIr1-xRhxGe system and found a discontinuous antiferromagnetic/ferromagnetic boundary at xcrit = 0.56 where a local minimum in ordering temperature and maximum of the Sommerfeld coefficient 175 mJ/mol K2 occurs in the UCoGe-URhGe-UIrGe system, signaling an increase in magnetic fluctuations. However, a quantum critical point is not realized because of the finite ordering temperature at xcrit. A magnon gap on the antiferromagnetic side abruptly suppresses magnetic fluctuations. We find a field-induced first order transition in the vicinity of the critical magnetic field along the b axis in the entire UIr1-xRhxGe system including the ferromagnetic region UCo0.6Rh0.4Ge - URhGe.

description: Introduction: Brain glioma is the most common type of primary malignancy in the central nervous system (CNS), with high recurrence and mortality rate, especially glioblastoma (GBM). Recent evidence suggests a role for many long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the pathogenesis, proliferation, apoptosis, metastasis, and chemotherapeutic resistance of cancer cells. Although the functions of some lncRNAs in the occurrence and development of gliomas have been confirmed, detailed mechanisms of action are lacking. Furthermore, the biological roles of many other lncRNAs in glioma have not been reported at all. Methods: In this study, we identified a novel lncRNA, UBE2R2-AS1, which was dramatically downregulated in glioma compared with normal tissue, by performing microarray detection of six pairs of glioma samples and adjacent normal tissues. In vitro experiments demonstrated that UBE2R2-AS1 regulated glioma cell proliferation, apoptosis, and migration. Results: UBE2R2-AS1 acted as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to target Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) mRNA by binding to miR-877-3p. Furthermore, lncRNA UBE2R2-AS1 suppressed glioblastoma cell growth, migration, and invasion, as well as promoting cell apoptosis by targeting miR-877-3p/TLR4 directly. Conclusion: This information regarding UBE2R2-AS1 and its glioma-related molecular mechanisms will aid the future identification of new lncRNA-directed diagnostics and drug-targeting therapies.

description: [Context] Defect Causal Analysis (DCA) represents an efficient practice to improve software processes. While knowledge on cause-effect relations is helpful to support DCA, collecting cause-effect data may require significant effort and time. [Goal] We propose and evaluate a new DCA approach that uses cross-company data to support the practical application of DCA. [Method] We collected cross-company data on causes of requirements engineering problems from 74 Brazilian organizations and built a Bayesian network. Our DCA approach uses the diagnostic inference of the Bayesian network to support DCA sessions. We evaluated our approach by applying a model for technology transfer to industry and conducted three consecutive evaluations: (i) in academia, (ii) with industry representatives of the Fraunhofer Project Center at UFBA, and (iii) in an industrial case study at the Brazilian National Development Bank (BNDES). [Results] We received positive feedback in all three evaluations and the cross-company data was considered helpful for determining main causes. [Conclusions] Our results strengthen our confidence in that supporting DCA with cross-company data is promising and should be further investigated.

Millimeter wave beam alignment using deterministic compressive sensing

Publisher: name: Macquarie University

description: Designing the beamforming vectors for channel estimation in mmWave systems is challenging becauseof the narrow beams required and the small number of useful directions. The state of the art employs random or structured random beamforming to leverage compressive sensing techniques to solve this problem using a small number of measurements. In this dissertation, inspired by existing deterministic sensing matrices from the theory of compressive sensing, two novel deterministic compressive sensing approaches are proposed for channel estimation in mmWave systems. In the proposed approaches, the Kronecker product or row-by-row Kronecker product of existing deterministic sensing matrices are used to design the structure of pilot beam patterns for the beam alignment process. These approaches not only result in significant overhead reduction, but also present improvement in terms of performance for some scenarios.
