description: The computation of theoretical pulsar populations has been a major component of pulsar studies since the 1970s.However, the majority of pulsar population synthesis has only regarded isolated pulsar evolution. Those that have examined pulsar evolution within binary systems tend to either treat binary evolution poorly or evolve the pulsar population in an ad hoc manner. Thus, no complete and direct comparison with observations of the pulsar population within the Galactic disc has been possible to date. Described here is the first component of what will be a complete synthetic pulsar population survey code. This component is used to evolve both isolated and binary pulsars. Synthetic observational surveys can then be performed on this population for a variety of radio telescopes. The final tool used for completing this work will be a code comprised of three components: stellar/binary evolution, Galactic kinematics and survey selection effects. Results provided here support the need for further (apparent) pulsar magnetic field decay during accretion, while they conversely suggest the need for a re-evaluation of the assumed typical millisecond pulsar formation process. Results also focus on reproducing the observed P ˙P diagram for Galactic pulsars and how this precludes short time-scales for standard pulsar exponential magnetic field decay. Finally, comparisons of bulk pulsar population characteristics are made to observations displaying the predictive power of this code, while we also show that under standard binary evolutionary assumption binary pulsars may accrete much mass.
Importance of Vitamin C in physiological activities of Human Being

description: Vitamin C is needed for several physiological activities, including eye growth and maintenance. Vitamin C may prevent or decrease age-related cataract (ARC), a primary cause of vision loss and blindness globally. ARC is a complex multifactorial illness that clouds the eye lens and causes blindness. Clear vision requires a clear lens that focuses light on the retina. Cataracts arise when the lens gets less flexible and more fragile with age. Lens integrity depends on vitamin C, a potent antioxidant. It protects the lens from free radical oxidative damage, which can damage cells and cause cataracts. Vitamin C also protects the lens's epithelial cells, which are necessary for clarity and function. ARC risk has continuously risen with vitamin C deficiency. A study indicated that people with insufficient vitamin C intake were more likely to acquire cataracts. Another study found that vitamin C supplementation reduced cataract risk by 70%. Vitamin C inhibits ARC in many ways. First, vitamin C maintains glutathione levels, which protect the lens from oxidative damage. Second, vitamin C inhibits the synthesis of advanced glycosylation end-products (AGEs), proteins that build in the lens with age and cause cataracts. Finally, vitamin C protects the lens's epithelial cells, which are necessary for clarity and function.
N-body simulations with live stellar evolution

description: An N-body code containing live stellar evolution through combination of the software packages NBODY6 and stars is presented. Operational details of the two codes are outlined and the changes that have been made to combine them discussed. We have computed the evolution of clusters of 10(4) stars using the combined code and we compare the results with those obtained using NBODY6 and the synthetic stellar evolution code SSE. We find that, providing the physics package within stars is set up correctly to match the parameters of the models used to construct SSE, the results are very similar. This provides a good indication that the new code is working well. We also demonstrate how this physics can be changed simply in the new code with convective overshooting as an example. Similar changes in SSE would require considerable reworking of the model fits. We conclude by outlining proposed future development of the code to include more complete models of single stars and binary star systems.

description: Neutron stars can form through core collapse (CC) following a supernova explosion of a massive star, or from a white dwarf that first forms in a binary system and then collapses into a neutron star via accretion induced collapse (AIC). So far, there have been no unambiguous identifications of AIC neutron stars in our Galaxy, although it has been suspected that they may exist among the population of binary millisecond pulsars (BMSPs). We summarise results of new calculations on the expected birth rates of binary systems with AIC neutron stars and discuss the predicted orbital period of systems with He, CO and O-Ne-Mg white dwarfs and main sequence companions. We argue that AIC systems may make an important contribution to the observed population of BMSPs.

description: Lyman- and Werner-band absorption of molecular hydrogen (H2) is detected in ∼50% of low-redshift (z < 1) DLAs/sub-DLAs with N(H2) > 1014.4 cm-2. However, the true origin(s) of the H2-bearing gas remain elusive. Here we report a new detection of an H2 absorber at zabs = 0.4298 in the Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/Cosmic Origins Spectrograph spectra of quasar PKS 2128123. The total N (H I) of 1019.50±0.15 cm-2 classifies the absorber as a sub-DLA. H2 absorption is detected up to the J = 3 rotational level with a total logN (H2) = 16.36 ± 0.08, corresponding to a molecular fraction of log fH2 = -2.84 ± 0.17. The excitation temperature of Tex = 206 ± 6K indicates the presence of cold gas. Using detailed ionization modeling, we obtain a near-solar metallicity (i.e., [O/ H] = -0.26 ± 0.19) and a dust-to-gas ratio of log k ∼ -0.45 for the H2-absorbing gas. The host galaxy of the sub- DLA is detected at an impact parameter of p∼ 48 kpc with an inclination angle of i ∼ 48° and an azimuthal angle of π ∼ 15° with respect to the QSO sightline. We show that corotating gas in an extended disk cannot explain the observed kinematics of Mg II absorption. Moreover, the inferred high metallicity is not consistent with the scenario of gas accretion. An outflow from the central region of the host galaxy, on the other hand, would require a large opening angle (i.e., 2q > 150°), much larger than the observed outflow opening angles in Seyfert galaxies, in order to intercept the QSO sightline. We thus favor a scenario in which the H2-bearing gas is stemming from a dwarfsatellite galaxy, presumably via tidal and/or ram pressure stripping. Detection of a dwarf galaxy candidate in the HST/WFPC2 image at an impact parameter of ∼12 kpc reinforces such an idea.

description: The novel compound diethyl 4-(anthracen-9-yl)-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate (DHPA) was synthesized via the Hantzsch method. The synthesized compound was studied through FT-IR, FT-Raman, UV-Vis and NMR studies were compared with Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations using the B3LYP exchange-correlation functional to evaluate the synthesized compound. Analyzing the molecular structure of the compound provides more biological information that aids in drug design. Quantum chemical calculations using the DFT method, such as molecular geometry optimization, vibrational assignments, frontier molecular orbitals (FMO), molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) map, natural bond orbitals (NBO), global reactive descriptors, and local reactive descriptors, were performed to analyze the structural characteristics and biological properties of the compound. Finally, molecular docking and molecular dynamics were used to determine the binding interaction and stability of the compound in the docked site. The results from simulation studies suggest that DHPA might be an alternative calcium channel blocker drug.

An investigation of episodic foresight ability in users of illicit substances
Creators: name: Mercuri, Kimberly
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2015

description: The overall objective of this research project was to investigate the cognitive ability of episodic foresight in various drug-using populations. Episodic foresight refers to the uniquely human ability to mentally project the self into the future and pre-experience an event. The first study (in press) was designed to address an identified gap in our understanding of episodic foresight in long-term opiate users. A group of long term opiate users (n = 48) and a group of matched controls (n = 48) were compared on episodic foresight, and the contribution of memory and executive function to this ability were investigated. The results of the first study identified specific episodic foresight impairment in the context of chronic opiate use which was not secondary to memory or executive control processing. Given these findings and recent literature that has begun to explore the cognitive and neural underpinnings of episodic foresight, the primary objective of the second study was to explore whether the deficit in episodic foresight among long-term opiate users identified in Study 1 may be attributable to compromised scene construction and/or self-projection abilities, both of which have been implicated in similar deficits observed in other clinical samples. This study assessed a group of long-term opiate users (n = 35) and demographically matched controls (n = 35). The results confirmed the episodic foresight deficit, and identified a specific impairment in self-projection. The third study aimed to assess whether an episodic foresight deficit would be observed in substance users at the less severe end of the spectrum of substance use. The third study assessed recreational cannabis users (n = 25) and demographically matched controls (n = 45). The results indicated no episodic foresight impairment in this group. Overall, the results of this research project suggest that compromised episodic foresight is apparent in the context of chronic but not recreational substance use. Abreakdown in episodic foresight may therefore represent an important potential mechanism that may contribute to the poor functional, social, and treatment outcomes often associated with chronic substance use.
(Mis)powered practice: A critical investigation of nurses' manual handling experiences in Australia
Creators: name: Kay, Kate
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2015

description: "Inherent in the nursing role are manual handling activities required for the provision of patient care. The physical demands upon nurses have resulted in high rates of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) within the profession. Despite the development of programs intended to reduce MSDs, sustainable solutions have remained elusive. Nurses continue to be disproportionately represented in the statistics for injuries arising from manual handling. Over 95% of nurses are likely to incur at least one MSD during their professional lifetime. The scholarly literature provides little evidence of the inclusion of nurses in the manual handling dialogue, despite their intimate knowledge of the healthcare environment. This thesis reports on a study of nurses speaking about their perspectives on current manual handling practices and their experiences of participation in injury prevention programs. The research explored nurses' experiences of manual handling within acute and aged care health facilities in two Australian states, with the intent to make explicit the assumptions underlying contemporary approaches to manual handling issues. The overall aim of this research was to explore nurses' manual handling experiences in the specific context of healthcare organisations. An improved understanding of manual handling from the perspectives of nurses has the potential to explicate aspects of manual handling not previously considered in the development of programs to reduce injuries. The overarching intention of this study was to give nurses the opportunity to verbalise and examine their manual handling experiences and perceptions, with an aim to explore any possible transformative practices."
(How) does the way maternity care is provided affect the health and well-being of young women and their babies?
Creators: name: Allen, Jyai

description: Access to timely, quality maternity care improves health outcomes for mothers and babies. Inadequate antenatal care (defined as 1-5 visits) is associated with an increase in the risk of preterm birth and neonatal morbidity; even after controlling known confounders. Pregnant adolescents typically live in circumstances of socio-economic deprivation, which is exemplified by poorer general health status, domestic violence, mental health issues, inadequate nutrition, and smoking and illicit drug use. Adolescent pregnancy is associated with higher rates of preterm birth, low birth weight, and neonatal intensive care unit admission; along with lower rates of breastfeeding initiation.
Promoting potential: A mixed methods study evaluating the impact of differing school settings on high achieving students' academic and psychosocial outcomes
Creators: name: Hobby, Lucy
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2015

description: Provision of the optimal educational environment for the nation’s high academic achievers is of critical importance, so as to enable these students to attain their full potential. In New South Wales (NSW), Australia, one of the principal governmental measures employed to achieve this end has been the establishment of specialist academically selective schools. This practice is entrenched in deep tradition and based on assumptions about the benefits of these schools, rather than on a measured response grounded in methodologically sound, evidence-based research. This project begins to address this gap in the research with a sound, multidimensional assessment of the differential impact of contrasting school settings (academically selective and mixed-achievement comprehensive schools) on the academic achievement and psychosocial health outcomes of secondary students. A mixed-methods research design was employed in which 1,993 students completed a survey on two occasions, and select students participated in focus group interviews. Analyses reveal that the selective students outperformed the high achievers in the mixed-achievement schools across all achievement domains. However, the selective students reported significantly lower Mathematics, English, and General School academic self-concepts, more negative perceptions of their relationships with their parents, an increased experience of competition and comparison, and greater school life worries than did their counterparts in the comprehensive settings. Moreover, the findings highlight the individual characteristics that served to enhance or impede students’ psychosocial wellbeing and academic success across time, and the consistency of these relations across educational setting. In addition to school setting, the cultural background of students, for those who self-identified as being of Asian Australian heritage, also emerged as a critical factor in shaping students’ school lives. This study supports the notion that not all high achieving students will benefit from the same type of educational setting. The findings imply that interventions targeted at improving self-concept for students within selective schools, and parental education regarding strategies that foster achievement and wellbeing could be beneficial, to ensure all high achieving students are reaching their full potential.
Validity and clinical utility of the Personal Care - Participation Assessment and Resource Tool (PC-PART)
Creators: name: Darzins, Susan
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2015

description: Inpatient rehabilitation aims to facilitate people’s functional recovery and return to participation in daily life roles and occupations. A critical aspect of rehabilitation is enabling people’s accomplishment of activities of daily living (ADL) required for community life. Functioning in ADL is typically assessed by occupational therapists in preparation for discharge to community living using a combination of standardised and non-standardised assessment methods. Typically used standardised assessments are important but their measurement constructs are limited in scope compared to the measurement needs of the rehabilitation context. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides a useful internationally recognised framework to help clinicians conceptualise and operationalise measurement of the breadth of human health status and functioning. In accordance with this framework, the Personal Care-Participation Assessment and Resource Tool (PCPART) aims to measure service-users’ participation restrictions in ADL required for community life, an aspect of functioning not typically measured in rehabilitation settings. The PC-PART may fill an important measurement gap in rehabilitation and contribute to comprehensive and clinically meaningful measurement of outcomes that are relevant to service-users’ life situations.

description: Augmenting fluorescence intensity is of vital importance to the development of chemical and biochemical sensing, imaging and miniature light sources. Here we report an unprecedented fluorescence enhancement with a novel architecture of multilayer three-dimensional colloidal photonic crystals self-Assembled from polystyrene spheres. The new technique uses a double heterostructure, which comprises a top and a bottom layer with a periodicity overlapping the excitation wavelength (E) of the emitters, and a middle layer with a periodicity matching the fluorescence wavelength (F) and a thickness that supports constructive interference for the excitation wavelength. This E-F-E double heterostructure displays direction-dependent light trapping for both excitation and fluorescence, coupling the modes of photonic crystal with multiple-beam interference. The E-F-E double heterostructure renders an additional 5-fold enhancement to the extraordinary FL amplification of Rhodamine B in monolithic E CPhCs, and 4.3-fold acceleration of emission dynamics. Such a self-Assembled double heterostructue CPhCs may find significant applications in illumination, laser, chemical/biochemical sensing, and solar energy harvesting. We further demonstrate the multi-functionality of the E-F-E double heterostructure CPhCs in Hg (II) sensing.

description: Interacting Fermi systems in the strongly correlated regime play a fundamental role in many areas of physics and are of particular interest to the condensed matter community. Though weakly interacting fermions are understood, strongly correlated fermions are difficult to describe theoretically as there is no small interaction parameter to expand about. Existing strong-coupling theories rely heavily on the so-called many-body T-matrix approximation that sums ladder-type Feynman diagrams. Here, by acknowledging the fact that the effective interparticle interaction (i.e., the vertex function) becomes smaller above three dimensions, we propose an alternative way to reorganize Feynman diagrams and develop a theoretical framework for interacting Fermi gases beyond the ladder approximation. As an application, we solve the equation of state for three- and two-dimensional strongly interacting fermions and find excellent agreement with experimental [M. J. H. Ku, Science 335, 563 (2012)SCIEAS0036-807510.1126/science.1214987] and other theoretical results above temperatures of 0.5TF.

description: We gathered over 600,000 temperature/salinity profiles and time series observations of essential ocean variables (here ocean temperature, salinity, pressure and currents) that are reposited in various data centres and in various formats across the world. This heterogeneity creates a significant barrier for researchers trying to obtain a circumpolar view of ocean processes. Here, we provide version 1 of two compilation datasets merging observations from an extensive set of sources, and attempting to be as complete as possible. This open dataset will provide the observational backbone for OCEAN:ICE analysis and hopefully many other projects around the world. We are looking for continuing expanding both the profile compilations with the addition of early temperature measurement collected using eXpendable BathyThermograph (XBT), Mechanical Bathythermograph (MBT), early salinity measurement from bottle measurements, remaining mooring time series that is under embargo or under-processing with our contributor as listed above.

An exploration of continuity of midwifery carer for women of all risk status
Creators: name: Forti, Amanda
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2015

description: Continuity of carer is the cornerstone of the caseload midwifery model where a woman receives the majority of her maternity care from a named midwife throughout pregnancy, labour, birth and the postnatal period. This model differs from standard maternity care where midwifery continuity of carer is not provided across the pregnancy continuum. A systematic review of midwifery-led care has associated midwifery continuity models with beneficial outcomes for women (Sandall, Soltani, Gates, Shennan, & Devane, 2013). However, it is widely acknowledged that further research is needed to understand how, a complex intervention such as caseload midwifery makes a difference to clinical outcomes. This thesis aimed to explore discrete aspects of caseload midwifery care delivery in women of all risk status, and better understand which components may be contributing to outcomes associated with this model.

description: Background: Parasitic roundworms (nematodes) cause substantial morbidity and mortality in livestock animals globally, and considerable productivity losses to farmers. The control of these nematodes has relied largely on the use of a limited number of anthelmintics. However, resistance to many of these these anthelmintics is now widespread, and, therefore, there is a need to find new drugs to ensure sustained and effective treatment and control into the future. Methods: Recently, we developed a screening assay to test natural, plant extracts with known inhibitory effects against the free-living worm Caenorhabditis elegans. Using this assay, we assessed here the effects of the extracts on motility and development of parasitic larval stages of Haemonchus contortus, one of the most important nematodes of small ruminants worldwide. Results: The study showed that two of five extracts from Picria fel-terrae Lour. have a significant inhibitory effect (at concentrations of 3-5 mg/ml) on the motility and development of H. contortus larvae. Although the two extracts originated from the same plant, they displayed different levels of inhibition on motility and development, which might relate to the presence of various active constituents in these extracts, or the same constituents at different concentrations in distinct parts of the plant. Conclusions: These results suggest that extracts from P. fel-terrae Lour. have promising anthelmintic activity and that more broadly, plant extracts are a potential rich source of anthelmintics to combat helminthic diseases.

The efficacy of hypoxic training techniques in Australian footballers
Creators: name: McLean, Blake
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2014

description: Hypoxic training techniques have been gaining popularity in team sports, with a range of methods employed. However, before this work, there was a paucity of information on the responses of team sport athletes to hypoxic training. This work explores how team sport athletes respond to these interventions, complementing other recent work in this area. The primary focus of this thesis is on two hypoxic training techniques; Live High-Train High (LHTH) and Live Low-Train High (LLTH)....

The role of a career counsellor in enhancing the career development process of secondary school students
Creators: name: Vanin, Greg
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2015

description: "This study originated from commentary on career counselling, which highlighted concerns over the implementation and delivery of career advice given by career counsellors within secondary schools. The introduction of career development frameworks and standards was meant to address the concerns raised and provide clarity and consistency in service delivery by career counsellors. However commentary on career counselling after the introduction of the frameworks and standards indicated that career development services in secondary schools fell short of any quality benchmarks. In view of the above statements, the purpose of the research was to explore how career counsellors address the needs of secondary school students with regards to career development and post-secondary school options. The major research question underpinning the purpose of the research was: How do career counsellors enhance the career development process of secondary school students?"
The development of rapid online control in children with and without Developmental Coordination Disorder
Creators: name: Ruddock, Scott
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University

description: "The online control of manual actions is critical for the development of functional skills in children, not the least because demands on behaviour and complexity of the environment increase with age. When unexpected changes occur during the course of action, rapid online corrections are necessary to ensure that movement parameters (like force and timing) can be quickly updated. Developmentally, the motor network supporting online control is thought to mature rapidly over childhood; however, cross-sectional research suggests that the trajectory of change is not linear because the mode of control undergoes reorganisation during middle childhood. At the same time, development of frontal executive systems (particularly inhibition) may influence the way children enlist motor functions like online (predictive) control. Maturational theories that once considered these systems to be unitary in their development are now being challenged by a more parsimonious neuro-behavioural hypothesis—interactive specialization; this suggests behaviour can be strengthened and supported by the interaction of separate but overlapping neural networks. growing body of research indicates that online control processes may be disrupted for children with motor coordination problems (aka Developmental Coordination Disorder; DCD). As well, it has been widely reported that these children show problems related to executive function including tasks that involve response inhibition. It is argued here that deficits in predictive online control may be exacerbated under task conditions that require concurrent inhibitory control as when one is required to withhold a response to a compelling cue and move to an alternate location. However, there is not a clear picture of developmental change in the ability to couple motor and executive systems, nor of differences in growth patterns between typically developing children (TDC) and children with DCD. The purpose of my research was to address this knowledge gap by conducting cross-sectional and longitudinal studies of development to examine the unfolding interaction between online and executive systems in healthy and atypically developing children. Specifically, I examined how TDC and DCD groups corrected their arm movement mid-flight during a step-perturbation paradigm, and how a concurrent inhibitory load constrained their responses to a target shift."

description: A new sample of stars, representative of the solar neighbourhood luminosity function (LF), is constructed from the Hipparcos catalogue and the Fifth Catalogue of Nearby Stars. We have cross-matched to sources in the Two Micron All Sky Survey catalogue so that for all stars individually determined near-infrared (NIR) photometry is available on a homogeneous system (typically K s). The spatial completeness of the sample has been carefully determined by statistical methods, and the NIR LF of the stars has been derived by direct star counts. We find a local volume luminosity of 0.121 ± 0.004 L K⊙ pc−3, corresponding to a volumetric mass-to-light ratio (M/L) of M/LK=0.31±0.02M⊙/LK⊙ , where giants contribute 80 per cent to the light but less than 2 per cent to the stellar mass. We derive the surface brightness of the solar cylinder with the help of a vertical disc model. We find a surface brightness of 99 L K⊙ pc−2 with an uncertainty of approximately 10 per cent. This corresponds to an M/L for the solar cylinder of M/LK=0.34M⊙/LK⊙ . The M/L for the solar cylinder is only 10 per cent larger than the local value despite the fact that the local population has a much larger contribution of young stars. It turns out that the effective scaleheights of the lower main sequence carrying most of the mass is similar to that of the giants, which are dominating the NIR light. The corresponding colour for the solar cylinder is V − K = 2.89 mag compared to the local value of V − K = 2.46 mag. An extrapolation of the local surface brightness to the whole Milky Way yields a total luminosity of M K = −24.2 mag. The Milky Way falls in the range of K band Tully–Fisher relations from the literature.

description: In decomposing the H I rotation curves of disc galaxies, it is necessary to break a degeneracy between the gravitational fields of the disc and the dark halo by estimating the disc surface density. This is done by combining measurements of the vertical velocity dispersion of the disc with the disc scaleheight. The vertical velocity dispersion of the discs is measured from absorption lines (near the V band) of near-face-on spiral galaxies, with the light coming from a mixed population of giants of all ages. However, the scaleheights for these galaxies are estimated statistically from near-IR surface photometry of edge-on galaxies. The scaleheight estimate is therefore dominated by a population of older (>2 Gyr) red giants. In this paper, we demonstrate the importance of measuring the velocity dispersion for the same older population of stars that is used to estimate the vertical scaleheight. We present an analysis of the vertical kinematics of K-giants in the solar vicinity. We find the vertical velocity distribution best fitted by two components with dispersions of 9.6 ± 0.5 km s−1 and 18.6 ± 1.0 km s−1, which we interpret as the dispersions of the young and old disc populations, respectively. Combining the (single) measured velocity dispersion of the total young + old disc population (13.0 ± 0.1 km s−1) with the scaleheight estimated for the older population would underestimate the disc surface density by a factor of ∼2. Such a disc would have a peak rotational velocity that is only 70 per cent of that for the maximal disc, thus making it appear submaximal.

JEANS ANALYSIS OF THE GALACTIC THICK DISK AND THE LOCAL DARK MATTER DENSITY

description: Dynamical estimates of the mass surface density at the solar radius can be made up to a height of 4 kpc using thick disk stars as tracers of the potential. We investigate why different Jeans estimators of the local surface density lead to puzzling and conflicting results. Using the Jeans equations, we compute the vertical (Fz) and radial (FR) components of the gravitational force, as well as Γ(z), which is defined as , with . If we assume that the thick disk does not flare and that all the components of the velocity dispersion tensor of the thick disk have a uniform radial scalelength of 3.5 kpc, Γ takes implausibly large negative values when using the currently available kinematical data of the thick disk. This implies that the input parameters or the model assumptions must be revised. We have explored, using a simulated thick disk, the impact of the assumption that the scalelengths of the density and velocity dispersions do not depend on the vertical height z above the midplane. In the absence of any information about how these scale radii depend on z, we define a different strategy. By using a parameterized Galactic potential, we find that acceptable fits to Fz, FR, and Γ are obtained for a flaring thick disk and a spherical dark matter (DM) halo with a local density 0.0064 Mo pc-3. Disk-like DM distributions may be also compatible with the current data of the thick disk. A precise measurement of Γ at the midplane could be very useful for discriminating between models.
