description: Hungatella hathewayi has been observed to be a member of the gut microbiome. Unfortunately, little is known about this organism in spite of being associated with human fatalities; it is important to understand virulence mechanisms and epidemiological prospective to cause disease. In this study, a patient with chronic neurologic symptoms presented to the clinic with subsequent isolation of a strain with phenotypic characteristics suggestive of Clostridium difficile. However, whole-genome sequence found the organism to be H. hathewayi. Analysis including publicly available Hungatella genomes found substantial genomic differences as compared to the type strain, indicating this isolate was not C. difficile. We examined the whole-genome of Hungatella species and related genera, using comparative genomics to fully examine species identification and toxin production. Orthogonal phylogenetic using the 16S rRNA gene and entire genome analyses that included genome distance analyses using Genome-to-Genome Distance (GGDC), Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI), and a pan-genome analysis with inclusion of available public genomes determined the speciation to be Hungatella. Two clearly differentiated groups were identified, one including a reference H. hathewayi genome (strain DSM-13,479) and a second group that was determined to be H. effluvii, which included our clinical isolate. Also, some genomes reported as H. hathewayi were found to belong to other genera, including Clostridium and Faecalicatena. We show that the Hungatella species have an open pan-genome reflecting high genomic diversity. This study highlights the importance of correctly assigning taxonomic identification, particularly in disease-associated strains, to better understand virulence and therapeutic options.

description: We study an uplink multi secondary user (SU) system having statistical delay constraints, and an average interference constraint to the primary user (PU). SUs with heterogeneous interference channel statistics, to the PU, experience heterogeneous delay performances since SUs causing low interference are scheduled more frequently than those causing high interference. We propose a scheduling algorithm that can provide arbitrary average delay guarantees to SUs irrespective of their statistical channel qualities. We derive the algorithm using the Lyapunov technique and show that it yields bounded queues and satisfy the interference constraints. Using simulations, we show its superiority over the Max-Weight algorithm.

description: Applications are continually growing in both size and scale. As a result of this growth the need for distributed processing has become increasingly apparent. Cloud computing offers an effective method of hiring machines to facilitate the execution of specific applications. Users of cloud services have the flexibility to assemble configurations of instances that satisfy their specific computational requirements. Cloud computing also adopts a pay as you go nature ensuring that users only pay for the services that they use. Due to its high cost effectiveness and elasticity, cloud computing has become a desirable platform for many different applications and services. In this thesis we attempt to develop scheduling solutions for a scientific application called Montage. There is an existing cloud native workflow execution framework that has been tested in Amazon EC2.

description: The photoelectron spectrum of the $\textrm{X}^{+}\,{}^{2}Π\leftarrow \textrm{X}\,{}^{1}Σ^{+}$ photoionising transition in iododiacetylene, HC$_4$I, has been recorded using pulsed-field-ionisation zero-kinetic-energy (PFI-ZEKE) photoelectron spectroscopy with partial resolution of the rotational structure. The first adiabatic ionisation energy of HC$_4$I and the spin-orbit splitting of the X$^{+}\,{}^{2}Π$ state of HC$_4$I$^+$ are determined as $E^{\textrm{ad}}_{\textrm{I}}/(hc) = 74470.7(2)$ cm$^{-1}$ and $Δ\tildeν_{\textrm{so}} = 1916.7(4)$ cm$^{-1}$, respectively. Several vibrational levels of the X$^{+}\,{}^{2}Π$ electronic ground state of the HC$_4$I$^+$ cation have been observed. The experimental data are discussed in the realm of a simple three-state charge-transfer model without adjustable parameters which allows for a qualitative description of the electronic structure and spin-orbit coupling in HC$_4$I$^+$ and of the change in bond lengths upon ionisation of HC$_4$I.

description: In a recent series of papers, we proposed a mathematical model for the dynamics of a group of interacting pedestrians. The model is based on a non-Newtonian potential, that accounts for the need of pedestrians to keep both their interacting partner and their walking goal in their vision field, and to keep a comfortable distance between them. These two behaviours account respectively for the angular and radial part of the potential from which the force providing the pedestrian acceleration is derived. The angular term is asymmetric, i.e. does not follow the third law of dynamics, with observable effects on group formation and velocity. We successfully compared the predictions of the model with observations of real world pedestrian behaviour. We then studied the effect of crowd density on group dynamics. We verified that the average effect of crowd density may be modelled by adding a harmonic term to the group potential. The model predictions, which include "phase transitions" in the group configuration, are again confirmed, at least in the observed density range, by a comparison with real world data. Until now we had averaged all pedestrian data collected in a given environmental setting without differentiating on group composition and social roles. In this work we study how the group configuration and velocity is affected by inter-pedestrian relation (family, couples, colleagues, friends), purpose (work, leisure) and gender. We also show results related to the effect of asymmetric interactions, that confirm further the non-Newtonian nature of gaze-based angular interaction in our model.

Capital constraints, bank risk-taking and monetary policy

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: In this thesis, the New Keynesian model is tested, extended and estimated using Chinese data. In particular, the New Keynesian Phillips Curve is tested for the weak identification problem. The empirical results reveal that both forward- and backward-looking behaviour exist in the pattern of Chinese inflation. The forward behaviour is quantitatively larger than the backward looking behaviour, but the latter is not negligible in the quantitative sense. We empirically test whether China was able to achieve monetary policy autonomy under capital controls by estimating a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM), and theoretically examine the possible consequences of capital controls by constructing an open economy New Keynesian model with capital controls. It is found that China has indeed achieved monetary policy autonomy of under a partially opened capital account and an exchange rates regime, in general, pegged to the US dollar. In the modelling section, the appropriateness and consequences of capital controls are examined using an open economy New Keynesian model. Capital controls transform dramatic and immediate changes in deposit portfolios into a prolonged and gradual adjusting process. The appropriateness of capital controls depends largely on the sources of shocks. Capital controls can reduce output fluctuations under a foreign demand shock, but can only increase the volatility of the economy under a foreign interest rate and an inflation shock. We build an open economy model with a banking sector and estimate it using Chinese data in order to analyse the effects of the monetary and macroprudential policies. Banks in the model can increase their leverage ratios quickly through greater reliance on short-term financing sources. Four different policy sets, including different combinations of a standard Taylor rule, a loan-to-value ratio extended Taylor rule, and a macroprudential tool, are assessed based on a central bank loss function. It is found that the extended Taylor rule has no dominant role among the four combinations of policies. The extended Taylor rule with macroprudential policy has lower losses compared with other policy sets.

Here we have assumed an arbitrary form of metric function and solved the Einstein relativistic field equations with the help of Karmarkar condition for an anisotropic matter distri- bution. The physical properties of our model such as pressure, density, mass function, surface red-shift, gravitational red-shift are investigated and the stability of the stellar configuration is discussed in details. Our model is free from central singularities and satisfies all energy conditions. The model we present here satisfy the static stability criterion.

description: The purpose of this thesis is to explore the process of diffusion of corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices in food and beverage multinational corporations (MNCs) operating in Indonesia. It aims to understand antecedents and determinants of MNCs' CSR behaviours in Indonesia by highlighting three social dimensions. First, it explores the effect of organisational dynamics in MNC management (organisational dynamics). Second, and drawing from institutional theory, the study explores institutional aspects affecting MNC subsidiaries' CSR decision-making in Indonesia (institutional context). Third, it explores the attitudes of employees toward CSR (CSR-employee-fit) in terms of company CSR practices and their own personal values.
Stability vs. Democracy in the post Arab-Spring: What choice for the EU?

description: Confronted in its southern neighborhood with the choice between continued promotion of democratic transitions and the need for stability in the post Arab-Spring environment, the EU is tilting to the latter. Past EU efforts reflected the conviction that peace, stability, and prosperity were the outcomes of democracy. But threats of regional conflict, civil wars, waves of immigrants, and rise in terror is forcing a rethinking. While searching for stability is understandable, supporting a return of authoritarianism is counterproductive. Indeed, a return to tyranny in the Arab world has already created significant public discontent that has led to a second wave of Arab uprisings. The EU should seek to strengthen societal resilience by supporting democratic reforms, for example, by supporting local Arab civil society initiatives. Such support should be guided by local priorities, those that address the economic and well as the political, educational, and health needs of the Arab public.

description: We study the complexity of classically sampling from the output distribution of an Ising spin model, which can be implemented naturally in a variety of atomic, molecular, and optical systems. In particular, we construct a specific example of an Ising Hamiltonian that, after time evolution starting from a trivial initial state, produces a particular output configuration with probability very nearly proportional to the square of the permanent of a matrix with arbitrary integer entries. In a similar spirit to BosonSampling, the ability to sample classically from the probability distribution induced by time evolution under this Hamiltonian would imply unlikely complexity theoretic consequences, suggesting that the dynamics of such a spin model cannot be efficiently simulated with a classical computer. Physical Ising spin systems capable of achieving problem-size instances (i.e. qubit numbers) large enough so that classical sampling of the output distribution is classically difficult in practice may be achievable in the near future. Unlike BosonSampling, our current results only imply hardness of exact classical sampling, leaving open the important question of whether a much stronger approximate-sampling hardness result holds in this context. As referenced in a recent paper of Bouland, Mancinska, and Zhang (A. Bouland, L. Mancinska, and X. Zhang, CCC 2016, pp. 28:1-28:33), our result completes the sampling hardness classification of two-qubit commuting Hamiltonians.

description: Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is the causative agent of bovine viral diarrhea-mucosal disease, which significantly affects the production performance of cattle, causing serious economic losses to the cattle industries worldwide. Up to now, some mechanisms involved in host–BVDV interaction are still not fully understood. The discovery of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) has provided a new perspective on gene regulation in diverse biological contexts, particularly in viral infection and host immune responses. However, little is known about the profiles and functions of lncRNAs in host cells in response to BVDV infection. Here, we utilized Illumina sequencing to explore lncRNAs profiles in cytopathic (CP) biotype BVDV-infected MDBK cells to further reveal the potential roles of lncRNAs in BVDV infection and host–BVDV interaction with integrated analysis of lncRNAs and mRNA expression profiles. A total of 1747 significantly differentially expressed genes, DEGs (156 lncRNAs and 1591 mRNAs) were obtained via RNA-seq in BVDV-infected MDBK cells compared to mock-infected cells. Next, these DE lncRNAs and mRNAs were subjected to construct lncRNAs-mRNAs co-expression network followed by the prediction of potential functions of the DE lncRNAs. Co-expression network analysis elucidated that DE lncRNAs were significant enrichment in NOD-like receptor, TNF, NF-ĸB, ErbB, Ras, apoptosis, and fatty acid biosynthesis pathways, indicating that DE lncRNAs play important roles in host–BVDV interactions. Our data give an overview of changes in transcriptome and potential roles of lncRNAs, providing molecular biology basis for further exploring the mechanisms of host–BVDV interaction.

description: We develop a theoretical model to describe the dissipative dynamics of singlet-triplet qubits in GaAs quantum dots. Using the concurrence experimentally obtained [M. D. Shulman et al., Science 336, 202 (2012)] as a guide, we found that each logical qubit fluctuates under the action of a random telegraph noise (RTN) that simulates the $1/f^α$ noise. We also study the dynamics of concurrence as a function of the amplitude of the RTN, the correlation time of the RTN, the preparation time of states, and the two-qubit coupling. Furthermore, we show that the two-qubit coupling together with the preparation time strongly affect the entanglement dissipative dynamics and both physical quantities can be employed to enhance the entanglement between singlet-triplet qubits.

Dynamics of the Southern Annular Mode during austral spring and summer: stratospheric and tropospheric interactions
Creators: name: Titova, Evgenia
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The study has examined the mechanisms of the Southern Annular Mode (SAM) during austral spring and summer. The focus has been on the dynamical processes which operate on the seasonal time scales enabling predictability of the SAM. By employing concepts of wave-mean flow interactions, an observational analysis of the interconnections between tropical, extratropical and stratospheric circulations relevant for the dynamics of the SAM has been performed. Firstly, it has been shown that from mid-October until late December the persistence of the SAM is dominated by its downward coupling with the stratospheric polar vortex. Most of the year-to-year changes in the strength of this coupling are determined by the seasonal peak in the upward heat fluxes across the tropopause observed from August to mid-October and, hence, can be estimated in advance. Additional predictability of the springtime SAM arises from the pre-conditioning of the polar vortex during late autumn – early winter when its background state is conductive to upward propagating waves. Dynamical processes which underlie the stratospheric impact on the SAM have been further investigated. Secondly, it has been shown that starting from January the variability of the SAM is dominated by the impact of tropical convective systems over South America, Africa and Indonesia. Persistent variability in the latter is present throughout austral winter and spring and is related to long-lived ENSO-like variability in the Pacific Ocean. However, only upon the solstitial poleward shift of the thermal equator does it begin to affect the SAM. The sensitivity can be understood in terms of the impact of the poleward intruding subtropical highs on the propagation pathways of extratropical waves. It is then argued that the location of the subtropical boundary plays a regulating role in the summer climate system whereby the expanding tropics have enabled a stronger impact of tropical variations on the circulation of the midlatitudes. The results contribute to the growing body of evidence that tropical and stratospheric circulations can have a significant impact on midlatitude weather patterns and suggest that eliminating the model biases would help to achieve improved seasonal forecasts of the SAM.

description: Aortic Stenosis (AS) is a serious heart condition characterized by the narrowing of the aortic valve and is the cause of substantial morbidity and mortality in Australia. When both moderate and severe, AS is associated with an increased risk of death. The aim of this study is to examine the performance of AI in identifying severe AS compared with specialist Cardiologists, and whether the assistance of the AI (as the “gold standard”) has the potential to improve the quality and consistency of AS reporting.
The objective is to evaluate whether the EchoSolv-AS AI can improve the quality and consistency of AS reporting by correctly identifying guideline-severe AS and the severe AS phenotype.

description: There have been many studies of biodegradable metals, mainly involving magnesium and iron, with new studies of zinc. Zinc being an essential element of the human body and biocompatible, this makes it a potential candidate for a biodegradable metal. However, zinc is brittle and has low mechanical properties, but it excels in corrosion resistance. Therefor the focus of this research is to experiment with different compositions of magnesium and calcium, to see how they affect the characteristics of zinc. With the success of the characterisation, it will lead on to using zinc alloys in 3D printing for medical implants.

description: In the Solar System, interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) originating mainly from asteroid collisions and cometary activities drift to the Earth orbit due to the Poynting-Robertson drag. We analyzed the thermal emission from IDPs that was observed by the first Japanese infrared astronomical satellite, AKARI. The observed surface brightness in the trailing direction of the Earth orbit is 3.7% greater than that in the leading direction in the $9{\rm μm}$ band and 3.0% in the $18{\rm μm}$ band. In order to reveal dust properties causing the leading-trailing surface brightness asymmetry, we numerically integrated orbits of the Sun, the Earth, and a dust particle as a restricted three-body problem including radiation from the Sun. The initial orbits of particles are determined according to the orbits of main-belt asteroids or Jupiter-family comets. The orbital trapping in mean motion resonances results in a significant leading-trailing asymmetry so that intermediate sized dust (~10-100${\rm μm}$) produces a greater asymmetry than the zodiacal light has. The leading-trailing surface brightness difference integrated over the size distribution of the asteroidal dust is obtained to be the values of 27.7% and 25.3% in the $9{\rm μm}$ and $18{\rm μm}$ bands, respectively. In contrast, the brightness difference for cometary dust is calculated as the values of 3.6% and 3.1% in the $9{\rm μm}$ and $18{\rm μm}$ bands, respectively, if the maximum dust radius is set to be $s_{\rm max} = 3000{\rm μm}$. Taking into account these values and their errors, we conclude that the contribution of asteroidal dust to the zodiacal infrared emission is less than ~10%, while cometary dust of the order of 1 mm mainly accounts for the zodiacal light in infrared.

description: Vip3Aa is an insecticidal protein that can effectively control certain lepidopteran pests and has been used widely in biological control. However, the mechanism of action of Vip3Aa is unclear. In the present study, we showed that Vip3Aa could cause autophagy in Sf9 cells, which was confirmed by the increased numbers of GFP-Atg8 puncta, the appearance of autophagic vacuoles, and an elevated Atg8-II protein level. Moreover, we found that the AMPK-mTOR-ULK1 pathway is involved in Vip3Aa-induced autophagy, which might be associated with the destruction of ATP homeostasis in Vip3Aa-treated cells. Both the elevated p62 level and the increased numbers of GFP-RFP-Atg8 yellow fluorescent spots demonstrated that autophagy in Sf9 cells was inhibited at 24 h after Vip3Aa treatment. With the prolongation of Vip3Aa treatment time, this inhibition became more serious and led to autophagosome accumulation. Genetic knockdown of ATG5 or the use of the autophagy inhibitor 3-MA further increased the sensitivity of Sf9 cells to Vip3Aa. Overexpression of ATG5 reduced the cell mortality of Vip3Aa-treated cells. In summary, the results revealed that autophagy induced by Vip3Aa has a pro-survival role, which might be related to the development of insect resistance.

description: We previously reported that disruption of the yjbI gene reduced virulence of Staphylococcus aureus. In this study, we found virulence in both silkworms and mice was restored by introducing the yjbH gene but not the yjbI gene to both yjbI and yjbH genes-disrupted mutants, suggesting that yjbH, the gene downstream to the yjbI gene in a two-gene operon-yjbIH, is responsible for this phenomenon. We further observed a decrease in various surface-associated proteins and changes in cell envelope glycostructures in the mutants. RNA-seq analysis revealed that disruption of the yjbI and the yjbH genes resulted in differential expression of a broad range of genes, notably, significant downregulation of genes involved in virulence and oxidative stress. Administration of N-acetyl-L-cysteine, a free-radical scavenger, restored the virulence in both the mutants. Our findings suggested that YjbH plays a role in staphylococcal pathogenicity by regulating virulence gene expression, affecting the bacterial surface structure, and conferring resistance to oxidative stress in a host.
Bacterial biofilms in healthcare: transmission and control

description: It is estimated that more than 99% of bacteria form biofilm where they survive safely in the slime taking refuge from antimicrobials, host immune responses and environmental stress conditions. Scientific literature demonstrates that more than 85% of chronic infections are currently attributed to biofilm development in human tissues (chronic otitis media, non-healing skin ulcers, persistent perionditis, chronic osteoarthritis) on prosthetic medical devices (contact lenses, implants etc.) and on medical equipment (endoscopes, urinary catheters etc.) Transmission and control of bacterial biofilm to reduce these infections has been quite a challenge for clinicians and scientists worldwide, especially owing to the tough resistive life style of bacteria inside biofilms. This study investigated if bacteria residing in environmental biofilms are a potential source for healthcare associated infections by determining:1) The transferral rate of bacteria from dry-surface biofilms via gloved and un-glovedhands ; 2) Determining the killing efficacy of commonly used disinfectants and sterilisation protocols against dry-surface and traditional hydrated biofilms ; 3) Investigating the killing efficacy of combining a physical stress (topical negative pressure and positive pressure ≤10 atmospheres) with a chemical stress (disinfectants/antiseptics) on dry and hydrated biofilms. To study, in-vitro bacterial biofilm was cultured in PC2 laboratory on coupons using Communicable Disease Control and Prevention biofilm reactor and then tested for transmission and various treatments. We found that dry-surface biofilm bacteria are highly transmissible. Although gloved hands transferred up to six folds fewer bacteria than bare hands, total bacterial numbers transferred was more than the dose required to cause infection. Heat treatment as per the prevailing infection control guidelines, successfully eradicated bacteria in hydrated biofilm, but failed to eradicate dry-surface biofilm when autoclaved at 121°C for up to 30 minutes. Similarly, commonly used disinfectants failed to kill dry surfacebiofilm. However, enhanced killing of biofilm bacteria was achieved when compression pressure treatment was combined with biocides. The current thesis establishes high transmissibility of bacteria from dry surface biofilm affirming it to be a potential source of hospital acquired infections whilst demonstrating that current practised methods of decontamination/sterilization are insufficient to eradicate biofilms forming on dry surfaces. However, promising results were achieved after biofilm treatment with combined pressure and biocides therapy encouraging further evaluation of combination disinfection.
Strong and Anisotropic Third Harmonic Generation in Monolayer and Multilayer ReS$_2$

description: We report observation of strong and anisotropic third harmonic generation (THG) in monolayer and multilayer ReS$_2$. The third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility of monolayer ReS$_2$, $\left| χ^{(3)} \right|$ is on the order of $10^{-18} $ m$^2$/V$^2$, which is about one order of magnitude higher than reported results for hexagonal-lattice transition metal dichalcogenides such as MoS$_2$. A similar magnitude for the third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility was also obtained for a multilayer sample. The intensity of the THG field was found to be dependent on the direction of the incident light polarization for both monolayer and multilayer samples. A point group symmetry analysis shows that such anisotropy is not expected from a perfect $1T$ lattice, and must arise from the distortions in the ReS$_2$ lattice. Our results show that THG measurements can be used to characterize lattice distortions of two-dimensional materials, and that lattice distortions are important for the nonlinear optical properties of such materials.
ETUDE THEORIQUE ET EXPERIMENTALE DES CORRELATIONS QUANTIQUES OBTENUES PAR MELANGE A QUATRE ONDES DANS UNE VAPEUR ATOMIQUE

description: Abstract We study both theoretically and experimentally the generation of quantum correlations in the continuous variable regime by way of four-wave mixing in a hot atomic vapor. Two theoretical approaches have been developed. On one side, we study the four- wave mixing under the "classical" non-linear optics point of view. In such a way we obtain the evolution equation for an ideal linear amplifier in a χ(3) medium. On the other side, we present a microscopic model with 4 levels in the double-Λ configuration to calculate the χ(3) coefficient in a atomic vapor dressed with a laser. This calculation allows us to derive the spectra of intensity noise for interesting parameters. The experimental part of this work describes the demonstration of this effect on the D1 line of rubidium 85. We present a measurement of relative intensity squeezing as high as -9.2dB below the standard quantum limit, and an original regime where quantum correlations have been measured without amplification. These results have broad applications in the field of multimode quantum optics, e.g. quantum imaging or the multimode quantum memories. Keywords quantum fluctuations, squeezing, quantum correlations, atomic vapor, four wave mixing, continuous variable, entanglement.

description: A recent experiment reported the first violation of a Bell correlation witness in a many-body system [Science 352, 441 (2016)]. Following discussions in this paper, we address here the question of the statistics required to witness Bell correlated states, i.e. states violating a Bell inequality, in such experiments. We start by deriving multipartite Bell inequalities involving an arbitrary number of measurement settings, two outcomes per party and one- and two-body correlators only. Based on these inequalities, we then build up improved witnesses able to detect Bell-correlated states in many-body systems using two collective measurements only. These witnesses can potentially detect Bell correlations in states with an arbitrarily low amount of spin squeezing. We then establish an upper bound on the statistics needed to convincingly conclude that a measured state is Bell-correlated.
