description: We have used angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy to investigate the band structure of ReS$_2$, a transition-metal dichalcogenide semiconductor with a distorted 1T crystal structure. We find a large number of narrow valence bands, which we attribute to the combined influence of the structural distortion and spin-orbit coupling. We further image how this leads to a strong in-plane anisotropy of the electronic structure, with quasi-one-dimensional bands reflecting predominant hopping along zig-zag Re chains. We find that this does not persist up to the top of the valence band, where a more three-dimensional character is recovered with the fundamental band gap located away from the Brillouin zone centre along $k_z$. These experiments are in good agreement with our density-functional theory calculations, shedding new light on the bulk electronic structure of ReS$_2$, and how it can be expected to evolve when thinned to a single layer.

description: Published research on credit counseling and mortgage termination is surprisingly scarce, despite substantial growth in this industry. While the purpose of counseling is to help low-income borrowers to handle better debt, and thus prevent default, counseling could also improve these borrowers understanding of their financial positions and thus affect prepayment. This paper shows that evaluations of counseling programs with a narrow focus on default may miss an important effect that counseling may have on prepayment. We use a competing risks framework to study the effects on both default and prepayment of a counseling program implemented in several Mid-West states. Our results indicate that the default hazard was not lower for the graduates of the counseling program but that the prepayment hazard was higher. Overall, counseling seems to affect lenders’ profits but the net effect should be evaluated both in terms of prepayment and default.

description: We present a detailed study of open heavy flavor production in high-energy $pp$ collisions at the LHC in the color dipole framework. The transverse momentum distributions of produced $b$-jets, accounting for the jet energy loss, as well as produced open charm $D$ and bottom $B$ mesons in distinct rapidity intervals relevant for LHC measurements are computed. The dipole model results for the differential $b$-jet production cross section are compared to the recent ATLAS and CMS data while the results for $D$ and $B$ mesons production cross sections -- to the corresponding LHCb data. Several models for the phenomenological dipole cross section have been employed to estimate theoretical uncertainties of the dipole model predictions. We demonstrate that the primordial transverse momentum distribution of the projectile gluon significantly affects the meson spectra at low transverse momenta and contributes to the largest uncertainty of the dipole model predictions.

description: The uncertainty principle restricts potential information one gains about physical properties of the measured particle. However, if the particle is prepared in entanglement with a quantum memory, the corresponding entropic uncertainty relation will vary. Based on the knowledge of correlations between the measured particle and quantum memory, we have investigated the entropic uncertainty relations for two and multiple measurements, and generalized the lower bounds on the sum of Shannon entropies without quantum side information to those that allow quantum memory. In particular, we have obtained generalization of Kaniewski-Tomamichel-Wehner's bound for effective measures and majorization bounds for noneffective measures to allow quantum side information. Furthermore, we have derived several strong bounds for the entropic uncertainty relations in the presence of quantum memory for two and multiple measurements. Finally, potential applications of our results to entanglement witnesses are discussed via the entropic uncertainty relation in the absence of quantum memory.

description: The direct detection and characterization of exoplanets will be a major scientific driver over the next decade, involving the development of very large telescopes and requires high-contrast imaging close to the optical axis. Some complex techniques have been developed to improve the performance at small separations (coronagraphy, wavefront shaping, etc). In this paper, we study some of the fundamental limitations of high contrast at the instrument design level, for cases that use a combination of a coronagraph and two deformable mirrors for wavefront shaping. In particular, we focus on small-separation point-source imaging (around 1 $λ$/D). First, we analytically or semi-analytically analysing the impact of several instrument design parameters: actuator number, deformable mirror locations and optic aberrations (level and frequency distribution). Second, we develop in-depth Monte Carlo simulation to compare the performance of dark hole correction using a generic test-bed model to test the Fresnel propagation of multiple randomly generated optics static phase errors. We demonstrate that imaging at small separations requires large setup and small dark hole size. The performance is sensitive to the optic aberration amount and spatial frequencies distribution but shows a weak dependence on actuator number or setup architecture when the dark hole is sufficiently small (from 1 to $\lesssim$ 5 $λ$/D).

Physical performance of children and adolescents with longitudinal fibular deficiency

Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis builds on the current available literature concerning the physical performance of children and adolescents with Longitudinal Fibular Deficiency (LFD). Currently, the understanding of physical performance in LFD is predominantly limited to small studies of low methodological quality that have used non-validated or subjective-report measures. The only examples of physical performance being assessed with objective measures and compared to norms are limited to the adult population of LFD, which demonstrated adults with LFD perform at a much lower level than their unaffected peers. It is unknown if this is also true in children with LFD. Therefore, a cross-sectional study was conducted to compare the physical performance of 3 children and adolescents with LFD, to 284 unaffected peers of the same age, using validated objective measures. Children and adolescents with LFD performed significantly worse than their peers in strength, walking performance, performance on stairs, and balance. The difference between the physical performance of children and adolescents with LFD and those without was smallest in younger children and greatest in the older adolescents. These findings suggest close monitoring of children with LFD may assist in the timing of interventions to potentially improve such performance. Further research is recommended,both of a longitudinal nature to understand how the physical performance of children with LFD changes with age, in addition to research assessing the efficacy of interventions aiming to improve physical performance in these children and adolescents.

description: In the present work a generalization of the BTZ black hole is studied, for the case of scale dependent couplings. One starts by using the effective action for scale dependence couplings to get a generalization of the Einstein field equations. Self consistent solutions for lapse function, cosmological coupling and Newtons coupling are found. The effect of scale dependent couplings with respect to the classical solution is shown. Moreover, asymptotic behavior as well as thermodynamic properties were investigated. Finally, an alternative way to get the scale dependent Newton coupling, from the so-called "Null Energy Condition" is presented.

A general explanation on the correlation of dark matter halo spin with the large scale environment

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)

description: Both simulations and observations have found that the spin of halo/galaxy is correlated with the large scale environment, and particularly the spin of halo flips in filament. A consistent picture of halo spin evolution in different environments is still lacked. Using N-body simulation we find that halo spin with its environment evolves continuously from sheet to cluster, and the flip of halo spin happens both in filament and nodes. For the flip in filament can be explained by halo formation time and the migrating time when its environment changes from sheet to filament. For low-mass haloes, they form first in sheets and migrate into filaments later, so their mass and spin growth inside filament are lower, and the original spin is still parallel to filament. For massive haloes, they migrate into filaments first, and most of their mass and spin growth are obtained in filaments, so the resulted spin is perpendicular to filament. Our results well explain the overall evolution of cosmic web in the cold dark matter model and can be tested using high-redshift data. The scenario can also be tested against alternative models of dark matter, such as warm/hot dark matter, where the structure formation will proceed in a different way.

Super-resolution far-ultraviolet equivalent-wavelength interferometry combining the phase of several visible-wavelength interferograms

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017

description: A far-ultraviolet (FUV) equivalent-wavelength super-resolution interferometric technique is proposed. This FUV equivalent-wavelength interferometric method combines four demodulated phases from four temporal-sets of visible interferograms. Here FUV super-resolution interferometry is defined as the estimation of a modulating phase coming from an FUV equivalent-wavelength illumination laser. To this end we need to combine the demodulated phase of four visible-wavelength interferograms. FUV equivalent-wavelength phase-sensitivity is of course beyond the phase-information capacity of a single visible-wavelength interferogram. To break this visible-wavelength barrier we use the phase-information provided by four or more interferograms in the visible range. Having the four demodulated phases we calculate a phase-difference and the sum of the four phases which is the FUV-equivalent super-resolution phase. The phase-difference is in the infrared phase-sensitivity range and it is assumed non-wrapped. On the other hand the phase-sum is in the FUV phase-sensitivity range and it is highly-wrapped. As shown herein it is possible to unwrap the phase-sum in the temporal domain using the phase-difference and our previously reported extended-range 2-step temporal phase-unwrapper. Of course higher than FUV equivalent phase-sensitivity interferometry may be obtained by increasing the number of independent estimated phases from visible-wavelength interferograms. As far as we know, this FUV equivalent-wavelength super-resolution interferometric technique has the highest phase-sensitivity and highest signal-to-noise ratio ever reported to this date.

description: We describe the design, implementation and performance of the new hybrid parallelization scheme in our Monte Carlo radiative transfer code SKIRT, which has been used extensively for modeling the continuum radiation of dusty astrophysical systems including late-type galaxies and dusty tori. The hybrid scheme combines distributed memory parallelization, using the standard Message Passing Interface (MPI) to communicate between processes, and shared memory parallelization, providing multiple execution threads within each process to avoid duplication of data structures. The synchronization between multiple threads is accomplished through atomic operations without high-level locking (also called lock-free programming). This improves the scaling behavior of the code and substantially simplifies the implementation of the hybrid scheme. The result is an extremely flexible solution that adjusts to the number of available nodes, processors and memory, and consequently performs well on a wide variety of computing architectures.

Living betwixt and between: a study of the title 'elder of the porch' (sms.w h)y.t) and its holders - a prosopographical approach

description: Titles are one of the primary sources about ancient Egyptian society and government providing invaluable information on how each sphere was organised. The title 'elder of the portal' (sms.w h)y.t) is an enigmatic title belonging to the administration of the Egyptian palace and occurs in sources throughout Egyptian history. Yet very little prior research on this office has been undertaken. As a result, the meaning of this title and the function and status of its holders has remained unresolved. This study begins with the cataloguing of all individuals who bore the title 'elder of the portal' from the beginning of the Old Kingdom to the end of the New kingdom in a prosopography. The corpus of 176 title-holders, their titularies, social networks, and monuments, is assessed within the framework of each historical period. The common characteristics and attributes of holders of the title 'elder of the portal' are identified to determine their role and social position in the state and in society. Any other sources referring to the 'elder of the portal' are also incorporated into the analysis. The orthography and lexicography of the elements 'elder' and 'portal' is completed to ascertain their meaning, which greatly impacts how the title is to be interpreted. Finally, the Egyptian palace as well as the concept of 'liminality' is explored to situate the 'elder of the portal' in the physical space of the king's residence and within the socio-political networks of the royal court. The primary finding of this investigation is that the 'elder of the portal' was an official active in a specific liminal zone in the palace. Title-holders were courtiers at the royal court physically and socially close to the king and were frequently involved in affairs of the state. The 'elder of the portal' was a functional regular palace appointment from the Old Kingdom to the end of the Second Intermediate Period. A shift from a palace to a temple context occurred during the New Kingdom, which altered the nature of the title and the function of its holders in society.

description: The best p-type skutterudites so far are didymium filled, Fe/Co substituted, Sb-based skutterudites. Substitution at the Sb-sites influences the electronic structure, deforms the Sb4-rings, enhances the scattering of phonons on electrons and impurities and this way reduces the lattice thermal conductivity. In this paper we study structural and transport properties of p-type skutterudites with the nominal composition DD0.7Fe2.7Co1.3Sb11.7{Ge/Sn}0.3, which were prepared by a rather fast reaction-annealing-melting technique. The Ge-doped sample showed impurities, which did not anneal out completely and even with ZT > 1 the result was not satisfying. However, the single-phase Sn-doped sample, DD0.7Fe2.7Co1.3Sb11.8Sn0.2, showed a lower thermal and lattice thermal conductivity than the undoped skutterudite leading to a higher ZT=1.3, hitherto the highest ZT for a p-type skutterudite. Annealing at 570 K for 3 days proved the stability of the microstructure. After severe plastic deformation (SPD), due to additionally introduced defects, an enhancement of the electrical resistivity was compensated by a significantly lower thermal conductivity and the net effect led to a record high figure of merit: ZT = 1.45 at 850 K for DD0.7Fe2.7Co1.3Sb11.8Sn0.2.

description: There are a variety of different techniques available to estimate the ages of pre-main-sequence stars. Components of physical pairs, thanks to their strict coevality and the mass difference, such as the binary system analysed in this paper, are best suited to test the effectiveness of these different techniques. We consider the system WW Psa + TX Psa whose membership of the 25-Myr beta Pictoris association has been well established by earlier works. We investigate which age dating technique provides the best agreement between the age of the system and that of the association. We have photometrically monitored WW Psa and TX Psa and measured their rotation periods as P = 2.37d and P = 1.086d, respectively. We have retrieved from the literature their Li equivalent widths and measured their effective temperatures and luminosities. We investigate whether the ages of these stars derived using three independent techniques are consistent with the age of the beta Pictoris association. We find that the rotation periods and the Li contents of both stars are consistent with the distribution of other bona fide members of the cluster. On the contrary, the isochronal fitting provides similar ages for both stars, but a factor of about four younger than the quoted age of the association, or about 30% younger when the effects of magnetic fields are included. We explore the origin of the discrepant age inferred from isochronal fitting, including the possibilities that either the two components may be unresolved binaries or that the basic stellar parameters of both components are altered by enhanced magnetic activity. The latter is found to be the more reasonable cause, suggesting that age estimates based on the Li content is more reliable than isochronal fitting for pre-main-sequence stars with pronounced magnetic activity.

description: Optomechanical crystals, purposely designed and fabricated semiconductor nanostructures, are used to enhance the coupling between the electromagnetic field and the mechanical vibrations of matter at the nanoscale. However, in real optomechanical crystals, imperfections open extra channels where the transfer of energy is lost, reducing the optomechanical coupling eficiency. Here, we quantify the role of disorder in a paradigmatic one-dimensional optomechanical crystal with full phononic and photonic bandgaps. We show how disorder can be exploited as a resource to enhance the optomechanical coupling beyond engineered structures, thus providing a new toolset for optomechanics.

"Created for our convenience": Human use of animals in the novels of Anne Brontë
Creators: name: King, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Depictions of human use of animals form an important aspect of Anne Brontë's broader critique of structures of control and domination in her society. From working horses to lap dogs to hunted prey, her representations of animals dominated by human characters reveal an underlying critique of a society governed by an instrumental attitude to animals. Harriet Ritvo has noted the general Victorian understanding that animals "had been created for human use" ("Learning" 37). This thesis explores how Brontë critically engages with the idea that animals exist in order to be used by people and her examination of how the otherness of animal experience is used to justify practices of domination. Beginning with Brontë's scenes of overt violence against animals, I draw out how these scenes expose the position of animals within human society. In the second chapter I consider Brontë's interrogation of contrasting structures of control that inform relationships between humans and domestic animals. Finally, I examine her exploration of alternative ways of relating to animals, and her positive engagement with both relations of use and understandings of difference between human and animal experience. In all three chapters, I examine her representations of physical use of animals, as well as how she interrogates the conceptual use of animals within figurative language. This discussion focuses on both Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.

description: We take advantage of the Gaia-ESO Survey iDR4 bulge data to search for abundance anomalies that could shed light on the composite nature of the Milky Way bulge. The alpha-elements (Mg, Si, and whenever available, Ca) abundances, and their trends with Fe abundances have been analysed for a total of 776 bulge stars. In addition, the aluminum abundances and their ratio to Fe and Mg have also been examined. Our analysis reveals the existence of low-alpha element abundance stars with respect to the standard bulge sequence in the [alpha/Fe] vs. [Fe/H] plane. 18 objects present deviations in [alpha/Fe] ranging from 2.1 to 5.3 sigma with respect to the median standard value. Those stars do not show Mg-Al anti-correlation patterns. Incidentally, this sign of the existence of multiple stellar populations is reported firmly for the first time for the bulge globular cluster NGC 6522. The identified low-alpha abundance stars have chemical patterns compatible with those of the thin disc. Their link with massive dwarf galaxies accretion seems unlikely, as larger deviations in alpha abundance and Al would be expected. The vision of a bulge composite nature and a complex formation process is reinforced by our results. The used approach, a multi-method and model-driven analysis of high resolution data seems crucial to reveal this complexity.

Landscape, history and Indigeneity in the Australian narrative: magic nihilism in the works of Richard Flanagan and Alexis Wright : A thesis and novel submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts, Department of English, Macquarie University

description: Richard Flanagan and Alexis Wright are two contemporary Australian authors considered by some, including the authors themselves, to be inspired by Latin American magic realism. However, using a chronological approach that examines misapprehension of the landscape and its signification since colonial times, and the extension of Merleau-Ponty's philosophy into a theory of landscape, this thesis demonstrates the ontological equivocation evident in many of Flanagan's and Wright's works is part of a much older and particularly Australian tradition that evokes competing ontologies imbued with nihilist elements often ameliorated with humour. The alternate ontologies presented by Wright, Flanagan, and some Australian authors of the colonial, postcolonial and modern eras are induced by and primarily contained within the apprehension and perception of the Australian landscape. The perceptual contradictions are brought about by three elements: the failure of Australian landscape to affirm the tenets of Romanticism; the haunting of the landscape either through the absence or dislocation of an Indigenous presence or through the erasure of cultural and historical perturbation; and the inability to remythologise the demythologised landscape in any form that binds the description of self affirmatively with being. The creative writing component, Bowraville : Twelve Stories is a selection of interconnected stories centred on the town of Bowraville in Northern New South Wales. The stories individually and collectively engage with the literary tropes of magic nihilism discussed in the critical component by examining the way landscape, history and perceptions of Indigeneity affect ways of being for the protagonists. As such, the stories are ontologically confounding, nihilist and sometimes humorous.

description: Usability is a key quality attribute of successful software systems. Unfortunately, there is no common understanding of the factors influencing usability and their interrelations. Hence, the lack of a comprehensive basis for designing, analyzing, and improving user interfaces. This paper proposes a 2-dimensional model of usability that associates system properties with the activities carried out by the user. By separating activities and properties, sound quality criteria can be identified, thus facilitating statements concerning their interdependencies. This model is based on a tested quality meta-model that fosters preciseness and completeness. A case study demonstrates the manner by which such a model aids in revealing contradictions and omissions in existing usability standards. Furthermore, the model serves as a central and structured knowledge base for the entire quality assurance process, e.g. the automatic generation of guideline documents.

description: Variation in behavior among group members often impacts collective outcomes. Individuals may vary both in the task that they perform and in the persistence with which they perform each task. Although both the distribution of individuals among tasks and differences among individuals in behavioral persistence can each impact collective behavior, we do not know if and how they jointly affect collective outcomes. Here we use a detailed computational model to examine the joint impact of colony-level distribution among tasks and behavioral persistence of individuals, specifically their fidelity to particular resource sites, on the collective tradeoff between exploring for new resources and exploiting familiar ones. We developed an agent-based model of foraging honey bees, parameterized by data from 5 colonies, in which we simulated scouts, who search the environment for new resources, and individuals who are recruited by the scouts to the newly found resources, i.e., recruits. We found that for each value of persistence there is a different optimal ratio of scouts to recruits that maximizes resource collection by the colony. Furthermore, changes to the persistence of scouts induced opposite effects from changes to the persistence of recruits on the collective foraging of the colony. The proportion of scouts that resulted in the most resources collected by the colony decreased as the persistence of recruits increased. However, this optimal proportion of scouts increased as the persistence of scouts increased. Thus, behavioral persistence and task participation can interact to impact a colony's collective behavior in orthogonal directions. Our work provides new insights and generates new hypotheses into how variation in behavior at both the individual and colony levels jointly impact the trade-off between exploring for new resources and exploiting familiar ones.

Proteomic characterisation of TDP-43 inclusion pathology in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia

description: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are part of a spectrum of adult-onset fatal neurodegenerative diseases. ALS begins in either the upper motor neurons of the motor cortex or the lower motor neurons of the brain-stem and spinal cord, resulting in progressive paralysis. FTD however presents in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, causing debilitating changes to personality, language and behaviour. The pathological hallmark of both diseases is the presence of low-solubility protein aggregates (which form large inclusions in affected neurons), usually within the cytoplasm. These inclusions consist of both misfolded non-functional proteins as well as functioning proteins that are sequestered due to abnormal interactions or endogenous aggregate-clearance mechanisms. The major inclusion-forming protein in the vast majority of ALS and approximately half of all FTD cases is the DNA/RNA-binding protein TAR DNA-binding protein of 43 kDa (TDP-43), however the other components of TDP-43 pathology in disease remain largely unknown. The aim of this thesis is to characterise the populations of proteins that are present within ALS/FTD-linked TDP-43 inclusions. Various forms of human TDP-43 (wildtype, cytoplasmic-targeted and post-translational mimetics) were expressed in neuronal NSC-34 and SH-SY5Y cells, and brain tissue from a TDP-43 transgenic mouse model was also used. By developing a biochemical low-solubility protein fractionation method, the types of proteins present with the TDP-43 pathology in these cells and brain samples were isolated for shotgun mass spectrometry proteomics. This approach identified many potential disease-associated as well as previously unidentified proteins that may play a role in ALS/FTD pathology. By identifying the types of proteins that are affected in these terrible diseases, it will be possible to understand the pathways and mechanisms through which they act to ultimately target therapeutics and identify biomarkers for people living with ALS and FTD.

description: Rapporteurs have been widely recognized as influential agents within the European Parliament (EP). But under what conditions are they really able to wield influence? Linking two strands of literature largely isolated from each other, this article considers both formal and informal agenda-setting resources to address this question. Formal agenda-setting stresses the role of institutionally defined prerogatives and constraints. Informal agenda-setting offers a meaningful link to the multiple streams framework (MSF), which attributes causal power to agency, ideas and timing. A case study on the EU chemicals regulation REACH illustrates the interdependence of institutional and ideational factors in policy entrepreneurship.
