description: The current discrepancy of theory and experiment observed recently in muonic hydrogen necessitates a reinvestigation of all corrections to contribute to the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen muH, muonic deuterium muD, the muonic 3He ion, as well as in the muonic 4He ion. Here, we choose a semi-analytic approach and evaluate a number of higher-order corrections to vacuum polarization (VP) semi-analytically, while remaining integrals over the spectral density of VP are performed numerically. We obtain semi-analytic results for the second-order correction, and for the relativistic correction to VP. The self-energy correction to VP is calculated, including the perturbations of the Bethe logarithms by vacuum polarization. Subleading logarithmic terms in the radiative-recoil correction to the 2S-2P Lamb shift of order alpha (Zalpha)^5 mu^3 ln(Zalpha)/(m_mu m_N) are also obtained. All calculations are nonperturbative in the mass ratio of orbiting particle and nucleus.

description: We study the gravitational collapse of a rotating cylindrical null shell with flat interior and the metric of a spinning cosmic string as the exterior. We see that there is a critical radius, where the energy density of the shell vanishes and beyond which it would be negative, thereby signaling that the matching would be unphysical.

description: Experiments have investigated shape changes of polymer films induced by asymmetric swelling by a chemical vapor. Inspired by recent work on the shaping of elastic sheets by non-Euclidean metrics [Y. Klein, E. Efrati, and E. Sharon, Science 315, 1116 (2007)], we represent the effect of chemical vapors by a change in the target metric tensor. In this problem, unlike that earlier work, the target metric is asymmetric between the two sides of the film. Changing this metric induces a curvature of the film, which may be curvature into a partial cylinder or a partial sphere. We calculate the elastic energy for each of these shapes, and show that the sphere is favored for films smaller than a critical size, which depends on the film thickness, while the cylinder is favored for larger films.

Myelination deficits in fetal growth restriction: Understanding mechanisms for novel therapies
Creators: name: AMINATH AZHAN
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: Neuroscience

description: Intrauterine growth restriction affects 10% of all pregnancies in the developed world. Being born growth restricted predisposes an infant to neurodevelopmental disabilities which include cerebral palsy. This is mainly due to reduced myelin formation in the brain. Myelin insulates the axons or the wiring of the brain for its proper function. This thesis explored mechanisms underpinning these deficits in myelination and investigated novel therapies to ameliorate the neurodevelopmental deficiencies. This thesis, for the first time, has demonstrated irregularities in mechanisms that are vital for myelin development. It also provided foundational evidence for the effective use of a novel targeted therapy to improve myelination.
Structural changes during fetal development of the gyrified brain: clues on determinants of cortical folding

description: During fetal development the human brain transforms from a smooth-surfaced organ to one with many folds. Interestingly, not all mammalian brains undergo cortical folding, and of those that do, folding complexity varies greatly between species. Within species, the locations of folds remain consistent between individuals, but little is known about the underlying driver/s of the location-specific development of cortical folds. This thesis explores cortical folding by focussing on cell and fibre arrangement in the fetal sheep and comparing the latter with the ferret, another folding species, and the spiny mouse, a species known not to possess any cortical folds.

description: This thesis examines the effect of follistatin treatment on inflammation and fibrosis around silicone implants in mice as well as different methods of follistatin delivery. It establishes that a single injection of follistatin directly around the implant at the time of silicone implant insertion and a single injection of follistatin-impregnated hydrogel at the time of silicone implant insertion into the mice both result in a significant reduction in peri-capsular inflammation and capsular fibrosis.
Effect of Pre-maturation of Immature Oocyte with a C-type Natriuretic Peptide (CNP) on Maturation and Subsequent Embryo Production from Unstimulated Mice

description: In vitro maturation (IVM) is a promising assisted reproductive technology for human infertility treatment. However, the developmental outcomes are poorer compare to in vitro fertilisation with hormone stimulation. Women with advanced maternal age are prone to have poor response to the stimulation. This thesis examines the effects of two-step IVM with addition of C-type natriuretic peptide at different time points on young and aging mice, in order to improve the oocyte maturation and embryo development. It is suggested that when conventional IVM works well, small differences in cytoplasmic and nuclear synchrony may not have significant impact overall, using unstimulated animals.

description: During the process of folding of the cerebral cortex during development –called gyrification due to the presence of gyri (outward folds) and sulci (inward folds)– the cortical plate appears to play a fundamental role. However, genetic differences in the cortical plate defining the identity of gyri and sulci have not been addressed. In this work, we have identified and validated a number of genes differentially expressed between gyri and sulci during gyrification, and correlated them to the maturation of neurons in the cortex, which appears to be central for defining regional architecture of the cortex during gyrification.

description: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia is a potentially fatal chronic lung disease that represents the principal cause of morbidity in infants born before 28 weeks of gestation. Both antenatal inflammation and mechanical ventilation are common antecedents that contribute to this condition. This thesis studies the effects of postnatal steroids or human amnion epithelial cells to treat and prevent brochopulmonary dysplasia. Our results suggest that tapered low-dose steroids reduces lung inflammation and injury, whilst hAECs improve lung morphology and have pro-reparative potential in lung pathology.

description: An air cargo inspection system combining two nuclear reaction based techniques, namely Fast-Neutron Resonance Radiography and Dual-Discrete-Energy Gamma Radiography is currently being developed. This system is expected to allow detection of standard and improvised explosives as well as special nuclear materials. An important aspect for the applicability of nuclear techniques in an airport inspection facility is the inventory and lifetimes of radioactive isotopes produced by the neutron and gamma radiation inside the cargo, as well as the dose delivered by these isotopes to people in contact with the cargo during and following the interrogation procedure. Using MCNPX and CINDER90 we have calculated the activation levels for several typical inspection scenarios. One example is the activation of various metal samples embedded in a cotton-filled container. To validate the simulation results, a benchmark experiment was performed, in which metal samples were activated by fast-neutrons in a water-filled glass jar. The induced activity was determined by analyzing the gamma spectra. Based on the calculated radioactive inventory in the container, the dose levels due to the induced gamma radiation were calculated at several distances from the container and in relevant time windows after the irradiation, in order to evaluate the radiation exposure of the cargo handling staff, air crew and passengers during flight. The possibility of remanent long-lived radioactive inventory after cargo is delivered to the client is also of concern and was evaluated.

subject: FOS: Clinical medicine

description: 800,000 newborns die every year because they do not breath well after birth. If an infant does not breath, current guidelines recommend immediately cutting the umbilical cord, so the infant can be moved to a resuscitation platform, where clinicians push air into the newborn’s lung to provide oxygen. For months, the placenta serves as the fetal "lung" providing oxygen to the growing fetus and is still available to serve as the newborn's "third lung" immediately after birth. This thesis attempts to understand if helping a newborn breath prior to cutting the umbilical cord results in a safer birth.

description: The rapid outbreak of bird flu challenges the outcome of effective vaccine for the upcoming years. The recent research established different norms to eliminate flu pandemics. This can be made possible with skilled experimental analyses and by tracking the recent virulent strain and can be broadly applicable with effective testing of vaccine efficacy. Every year World Health Organization (WHO) reveals the administration of drug and vaccine to counter arrest the spread of flu among the population. As there are recurrent failures in priming the population, the complete eradication of the flu pandemic is still appears to be an unresolved problem. To overcome the current scenario, high level efforts with theoretical and practical research is required and it can enhance the scope in this field. The recent advancements also allow the researchers to endeavor effective vaccine to meet the emerging flu types. Only the standardized vaccination among the population at the time of flu pandemics will revolutionalize the current propositions against influenza virus. This paper shows the deficiencies of vaccine fitness research as there are reported failures and less efficacy of vaccine even after priming the population from referred evidences and studies. It also shows simple experimental approach in detecting the effective vaccine among the vaccines announced by WHO.

description: Metal/two-dimensional carbon junctions are characterized by using a nanoprobe in an ultrahigh vacuum environment. Significant differences were found in bias voltage (V) dependence of differential conductance (dI/dV) between edge- and side-contact; the former exhibits a clear linear relationship (i.e., dI/dV \propto V), whereas the latter is characterized by a nonlinear dependence, dI/dV \propto V3/2. Theoretical calculations confirm the experimental results, which are due to the robust two-dimensional nature of the carbon materials under study. Our work demonstrates the importance of contact geometry in graphene-based electronic devices.
Discovery and characterisation of the first menstruating rodent: The spiny mouse for use as an in vivo model of reproductive biology

description: This thesis details the discovery of the only naturally menstruating rodent, the spiny mouse. While reproduction in every other rodent is dictated by the environment and, importantly, the lining of the womb is not shed, the spiny mouse behaves like humans, and cyclically menstruates. The menstrual cycle lasts only 9 days, although shares many aspects with the 28-day human cycle. Each animal is unique in the length and heaviness of their menstrual period, the degree of inflammation and fluctuation of physical parameters (i.e. food consumption and body weight). This world first discovery advocates for the spiny mouse to be recognized for its extraordinary potential in studying women’s reproductive health and menstrual associated conditions.

description: We report that binary dispersions of like-charged colloidal particles with large charge asymmetry but similar size exhibit phase separation into crystal and fluid phases under very low salt conditions. This is unexpected because the effective colloid-colloid pair interactions are accurately described by a Yukawa model which is stable to demixing. We show that colloid-ion interactions provide an energetic driving force for phase separation, which is initiated by crystallization of one species.
Non-Local Product Rules for Percolation

description: Despite original claims of a first-order transition in the product rule model proposed by Achlioptas et al. [Science 323, 1453 (2009)], recent studies indicate that this percolation model, in fact, displays a continuous transition. The distinctive scaling properties of the model at criticality, however, strongly suggest that it should belong to a different universality class than ordinary percolation. Here we introduce a generalization of the product rule that reveals the effect of non-locality on the critical behavior of the percolation process. Precisely, pairs of unoccupied bonds are chosen according to a probability that decays as a power-law of their Manhattan distance, and only that bond connecting clusters whose product of their sizes is the smallest, becomes occupied. Interestingly, our results for two-dimensional lattices at criticality shows that the power-law exponent of the product rule has a significant influence on the finite-size scaling exponents for the spanning cluster, the conducting backbone, and the cutting bonds of the system. In all three cases, we observe a continuous variation from ordinary to (non-local) explosive percolation exponents.

description: The Drell-Yan differential cross section is measured in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV, from a data sample collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 inverse picobarns. The cross section measurement, normalized to the measured cross section in the Z region, is reported for both the dimuon and dielectron channels in the dilepton invariant mass range 15-600 GeV. The normalized cross section values are quoted both in the full phase space and within the detector acceptance. The effect of final state radiation is also identified. The results are found to agree with theoretical predictions.

description: In Australia, a baby is born with a brain injury that underlies cerebral palsy every 15 hours. A leading cause of this brain injury is preterm birth and exposure to inflammation during development. This thesis investigated the potential of two types of stem cell therapies derived from the placenta in a model of preterm brain injury. Umbilical cord blood cells were the most neuroprotective, rescuing the brain from cell death and white matter damage. This work has the potential to alter the way babies are treated in the future, protecting the vulnerable preterm brain and improving neurological outcomes.

description: Vaccinating pregnant women against pertussis is the most effective method of protecting newborns from infection. This thesis explores consumer-, healthcare provider-, and systems- related barriers, and strategies to increase suboptimal uptake of maternal pertussis vaccination in Australia. The important role of healthcare providers in educating and recommending vaccination is highlighted. In addition, pharmacist-administered vaccination has been introduced to overcome access barriers, however, pharmacists were less confident providing vaccinations for pregnant women and would benefit from further training. Finally, embedding vaccination into antenatal care through midwife-delivered vaccination is demonstrated to be an effective model to increase uptake of maternal vaccination.

description: In this article I give a pedagogical illustration of why the essential problem of high-Tc superconductivity in the cuprates is about how an antiferromagnetically ordered state can be turned into a short-range state by doping. I will start with half-filling where the antiferromagnetic ground state is accurately described by the Liang-Doucot-Anderson (LDA) wavefunction. Here the effect of the Fermi statistics becomes completely irrelevant due to the no double occupancy constraint. Upon doping, the statistical signs reemerge, albeit much reduced as compared to the original Fermi statistical signs. By precisely incorporating this altered statistical sign structure at finite doping, the LDA ground state can be recast into a short-range antiferromagnetic state. Superconducting phase coherence arises after the spin correlations become short-ranged, and the superconducting phase transition is controlled by spin excitations. I will stress that the pseudogap phenomenon naturally emerges as a crossover between the antiferromagnetic and superconducting phases. As a characteristic of non Fermi liquid, the mutual statistical interaction between the spin and charge degrees of freedom will reach a maximum in a high-temperature "strange metal phase" of the doped Mott insulator.

description: Each year 4 million babies are starved of oxygen at birth, leading to permanent brain injury. Treatment options for these babies are limited, particularly in low income countries. The set of studies described in this thesis considered new neuroprotective therapies for babies that are starved of oxygen at birth. Using newborn lambs, we examined three treatments; umbilical cord blood cells collected at birth, body cooling and administering the natural antioxidant melatonin. Results showed that novel treatment strategies could reduce permanent brain injury in newborn lambs and these could be applied in either low or high income birth settings worldwide.

description: The spiny mouse is a small rodent that displays remarkable physiological traits: they can regenerate skin without scarring, they have a human-like hormone profile, and they are the only known rodent with a menstrual cycle. During my PhD I explored early development in this species. I assembled a reference transcriptome and mapped gene expression during the 2-cell, 4-cell and 8-cell stages of embryo development. Ultimately, I found that the spiny mouse is a more accurate model of human embryo development in the earliest stages compared to lab mice. This work provides novel insight into the biological mechanisms that govern the creation of new life.

description: NGC 3147 is so far the most convincing case of a "true" Seyfert 2 galaxy, i.e. a source genuinely lacking the Broad Line Regions. We obtained a Suzaku observation with the double aim to study in more detail the iron line complex, and to check the Compton-thick hypothesis for the lack of observed optical broad lines. The Suzaku XIS and HXD/PIN spectra of the source were analysed in detail. The line complex is composed of at least two unresolved lines, one at about 6.45 keV and the other one at about 7 keV, most likely identified with Fe XVII/XIX, the former, and Fe XXVI, the latter. The high-ionization line can originate either in a photoionized matter or in an optically thin thermal plasma. In the latter case, an unusually high temperature is implied. In the photoionized model case, the large equivalent width can be explained either by an extreme iron overabundance or by assuming that the source is Compton-thick. In the Compton-thick hypothesis, however, the emission above 2 keV is mostly due to a highly ionized reflector, contrary to what is usually found in Compton-thick Seyfert 2s, where reflection from low ionized matter dominates. Moreover, the source flux varied between the XMM-Newton and the Suzaku observations, taken 3.5 years apart, confirming previous findings and indicating that the size of the emitting region must be smaller than a parsec. The hard X-ray spectrum is also inconclusive on the Compton-thick hypothesis. Weighting the various arguments, a "true" Seyfert 2 nature of NGC 3147 seems to be still the most likely explanation, even if the "highly ionized reflector" Compton-thick hypothesis cannot at present be formally rejected.

description: Neutrino speed experiments could be viewed not only as tests of Lorentz invariance but also as measurements of limiting propagation speed for all standard model species below certain depth where no direct metrological information is available. The latter option, hypothetically caused by some chameleon-type background, could be tested in the next installment of the neutrino speed experiments. We also show that that complementary constraints on the same class of models can be obtained with experiments testing clock universality in deep underground/underwater experiments. By considering the explicit QED model with particle-universal modification of propagation speed by a depth-dependent tensor background, we show that in general one should expect larger-than-GR shifts of the clock frequencies and clock non-universality. This can be tested by comparison of the narrow transitions in atomic clocks, which for a generic model could deliver a superior accuracy compared to the neutrino speed experiments.

description: This thesis examined changes in the uterine environment of infertile women compared to fertile women during the proliferative phase of the menstrual cycle. The proliferative phase is when the lining of the uterus, the endometrium, regenerates following menstruation. Dysfunction in the development of the endometrium may create a hostile environment for pregnancy, rendering a woman infertile. This thesis identified distinct changes in the uterine environment of infertile women during this period of regeneration and highlights potential causes of infertility as well as possible therapeutic targets to treat infertility in women.

description: This thesis examined the pathophysiology of keloids, a skin disorder caused by abnormal wound healing and scarring, and also developed a novel treatment for the disorder. We found that keloid skin was thicker than normal skin due to the deposition of higher amounts of collagen. Using cells from keloid skin, we also identified that the increased collagen production was induced by abnormal accumulation of a protein, activin, which resulted in keloid scarring. Moreover, a naturally occurring protein, follistatin, blocked the accumulation of activin and was able to prevent keloid fibrosis.

description: Oxygen free radicals are created during the IVF process. These have the potential to damage DNA in human eggs and embryos thereby reducing pregnancy rates after IVF. Melatonin has the ability to reduce the effects of oxygen free radicals. In the Melatonin in Assisted Reproductive Technology trial, I found that, while oral melatonin can increase levels of melatonin in follicular fluid, this does not significantly improve IVF success rates.

description: Preterm infant born under 32 weeks of gestational age are at a high risk of white matter brain injury (WMI). This thesis used a fetal sheep model of brain injury induced by hypoxia-ischemia (HI) at a developmental age equivalent to approximately 28-32 weeks brain development in the human infant. The data presented in this thesis demonstrates that whole white blood cell fraction of cells derived from term and preterm UCB, and ex-vivo expanded UCB-MSC, modified fetal brain damage after HI insult. Cells derived from UCB are an effective neuroprotective strategy, principally acting via a decrease in neuroinflammation to protect preterm brain development after HI. UCB-MSC also appears to be effective for neuroregeneration, acting via central anti-inflammatory and cerebral chemokine modulation. Combined, these results strongly suggest that UCB cells could be used to reduce WMI in the preterm brain.

The role of quench rate in colloidal gels

Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Interactions between colloidal particles have hitherto usually been fixed by the suspension composition. Recent experimental developments now enable the control of interactions \emph{in-situ}. Here we use Brownian dynamics simulations to investigate the effect of controlling interactions on gelation, by "quenching" the system from an equilibrium fluid to a gel. We find that, contrary to the normal case of an instantaneous quench, where the local structure of the gel is highly disordered, controlled quenching results in a gel with a higher degree of local order. Under sufficiently slow quenching, local crystallisation is found, which is strongly enhanced when a monodisperse system is used. The higher the degree of local order, the smaller the mean squared displacement, indicating an enhancement of gel stability.

Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)

description: This paper focuses on fruit defect detection and glare removal using morphological operations, Glare removal can be considered as an important preprocessing step as uneven lighting may introduce it in images, which hamper the results produced through segmentation by Gabor filters .The problem of glare in images is very pronounced sometimes due to the unusual reflectance from the camera sensor or stray light entering, this method counteracts this problem and makes the defect detection much more pronounced. Anisotropic diffusion is used for further smoothening of the images and removing the high energy regions in an image for better defect detection and makes the defects more retrievable. Our algorithm is robust and scalable the employability of a particular mask for glare removal has been checked and proved useful for counteracting.this problem, anisotropic diffusion further enhances the defects with its use further Optimal Gabor filter at various orientations is used for defect detection.

Combinatorial models of rigidity and renormalization

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We first introduce the percolation problems associated with the graph theoretical concepts of $(k,l)$-sparsity, and make contact with the physical concepts of ordinary and rigidity percolation. We then devise a renormalization transformation for $(k,l)$-percolation problems, and investigate its domain of validity. In particular, we show that it allows an exact solution of $(k,l)$-percolation problems on hierarchical graphs, for $k\leq l<2k$. We introduce and solve by renormalization such a model, which has the interesting feature of showing both ordinary percolation and rigidity percolation phase transitions, depending on the values of the parameters.

Mechanisms Regulating the Increase in Pulmonary Blood Flow at Birth

description: At birth, aeration of the lung stimulates a significant increase in pulmonary blood flow. Despite much research, it remains poorly understood, and a failure to properly transition into newborn life represents a significant source of neonatal morbidity and mortality. The studies in this thesis have used synchrotron X-ray imaging to examine ventilation/perfusion relationships in the lung at birth, suggesting knowledge of this process requires re-evaluation. Partial lung aeration appears to significantly increase pulmonary blood flow, regardless of local aeration or oxygenation. This is a fascinating novel discovery and has implications in delivery room management and the ventilation of newborn infants.
The Temperature Structure of Be Star Disks in the Small Magellanic Cloud

description: The temperature structure of Be star circumstellar disks at the sub-solar metallicity appropriate to the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is investigated. It is found that for central stars of the same spectral type, Be star disks in the SMC are systematically hotter by several thousand degrees compared to Milky Way (MW) disks with the same density structure. For early spectral types (B0e - B3e), this results in systematically smaller Hα equivalent widths for Be stars in the SMC. The implication of this result on Be star frequency comparisons between MW and SMC clusters is shown to be a 5 - 10% lowering of the detection efficiency of Be stars in SMC clusters. These calculations are also compared to the known Hα equivalent width distributions in the MW and SMC. For the MW, reasonable agreement is found; however, for the SMC, the match is not as good and systematically larger Be star disks may be required.
