THE USE OF METAPHORS AND SYMBOLS IN T.S. ELIOT AND EZRA POUND'S POETRY
Creators: name: Maxmaraximova, Manzura
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This paper investigates the extensive use of metaphors and symbols in the poetry of T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound, two leading figures of Anglo-American literary modernism. It analyzes how both poets revolutionized poetic language by embedding complex metaphors and rich symbolic structures within their works to capture the disjointed nature of the modern world. Through a comparative literary analysis, this research highlights how metaphors and symbols contribute to the emotional and philosophical depth of Eliot’s and Pound’s poetry, shaping the aesthetics and intellectual framework of the modernist movement.

description: Semantic trajectories are high level representations of user movements where several aspects related to the movement context are represented as heterogeneous textual labels. With the objective of finding a meaning- ful similarity measure for semantically enriched trajectories, we propose Traj2User, a Word2Vec-inspired method for the generation of a vector representation of user movements as user embeddings. Traj2User uses simple representations of trajectories and delegates the definition of the similarity model to the learning process of the net- work. Preliminary results show that Traj2User is able to generate ef- fective user embeddings.
Personal music listening: modelling emotional outcomes through mobile experience sampling

description: Personal music listening is a private and flexible means of musical engagement, which is rapidly growing as a central component of everyday music use. This unique style of listening has unprecedented potential for the deliberate manipulation of emotional states, and the impact it has on emotional health and well-being is largely unknown. The current thesis therefore aimed to determine the emotional outcomes of personal music listening. To achieve this, a new methodology was developed, designed for the ecologically valid and real-time assessment of personal music listening (Chapter 2). This methodology enabled empirical investigation of key areas identified from the literature, including the links between music-based regulation and non-music regulation strategies (Chapter 3), and the emotional outcomes of different reasons for listening (Chapter 4). Finally, collected data were combined to form a comprehensive model of personal music listening, which incorporated a broad range of relevant variables, to predict emotional outcomes both within contexts and between listeners (Chapter 5). Four overall conclusions were drawn from the current thesis, the first being that initial mood is a crucial variable in personal music listening. Secondly, it was found that music is deliberately used as a flexible and independent regulatory resource, to meet specific emotional needs. The third conclusion was that there are certain conditions under which personal music listening can lead to emotional harm. Finally, it was concluded that consideration of contextual variables is essential for understanding the emotional responses to music listening. This thesis has contributed a new methodology and a comprehensive model of personal music listening, which together will advance the understanding of this form of musical engagement, and how it influences emotional states, emotional health, and well-being.

description: Tendon experiences a variety of multiscale changes to its extracellular matrix during mechanical loading at the fascicle, fibre and fibril levels. For example, tensile loading of tendon increases its stiffness, with organization of collagen fibres, and increases cell strain in the direction of loading. Although applied macrostrains correlate to cell and nuclear strains in uninjured tendon, the multiscale response during tendon healing remains unknown and may affect cell mechanosensing and response. Therefore, this study evaluated multiscale structure–function mechanisms in response to quasi-static tensile loading in uninjured and healing tendons. We found that tendon healing affected the macroscale mechanical and structural response to mechanical loading, evidenced by decreases in strain stiffening and collagen fibre realignment. At the micro- and nanoscales, healing resulted in increased collagen fibre disorganization, nuclear disorganization, decreased change in nuclear aspect ratio with loading, and decreased indentation modulus compared to uninjured tendons. Taken together, this work supports a new concept of nuclear strain transfer attenuation during tendon healing and identifies several multiscale properties that may contribute. Our work also provides benchmarks for the biomechanical microenvironments that tendon cells may experience following cell delivery therapies.

Harnessing particle mechanics in a liquid medium
Creators: name: Muradoglu, Murat
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The manipulation of bioparticles ranging from nano to micrometers in diameter has become a fundamental tenet to much of biochemical and biomedical applications. Integral to these experiments is the need to precisely manipulate particle locations, separate and/or organize them whilst limiting the possibility of damage to the specimens that are, by nature, required to be suspended in a liquid medium. A crucial aspect in any such form of particle manipulation is the ability to reliably and repeatedly sense and distinguish their presence. To achieve these goals, their small nature and typically large number warrant the use of up and coming nanotechnologies- for example nano-optics- to achieve practicable and effective results. Yet, there remains major challenges in such technologies, including but not limited to: (a) better sorting (size, density, etc), (b) assembly, (c) concentration, (d) dilution, (e) fictionalization and finally most importantly (f) a better understanding of the interdisciplinary coupling with digital microfluidics. Further to this, the implications of working with such small particles is the inherent random jiggling of said particles in a liquid medium, i.e. Brownian dynamics. Not only are the dynamics of the liquid medium necessary in evaluation, but they also create an impetus to harness it for useful applications in itself. Therefore, the primary focus of this thesis is to study various particle manipulation mechanisms with secondary support areas in Brownian dynamics and discrete liquid mechanics.

description: The objective of the present project is to explore the association between maternal stress, including stress both at work and in private life using independent measures of exposure, and measurements of asthma in their children. Further, we will investigate whether sex of the offspring modifies the association.
The quality of earlier studies varies considerably. One of the most important methodological problems is the quality of exposure assessment including the fact that existing studies often only assess the effects of either stress at work or stress in private life and therefore fail to account for the multiple stressors that are typically faced in life. The proposed project provides unique opportunities to meet the challenges of the existing studies by addressing the hypotheses in a large population-based cohort, assessing maternal stress during pregnancy both at work and in private life with independent information about both exposures and outcome.
The present study protocol therefore gives a detailed description of the data material, inclusion criteria, statistical models, hypotheses and test criteria for a study of maternal stress at work and in private life during pregnancy and childhood asthma in the offspring.
In accordance with recognised rules of good scientific and statistical practice; the protocol is public available before the exposure data of the study are linked to the outcome data.

Blogging and citizenship: the lived experience of Malaysian bloggers

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Guided by the intention to understand the relationship between blogging and the political transformations in Malaysia, this research study asks ‘How does blogging affect the citizenship practices of the everyday Malaysian bloggers?’ To answer this question, 30 Malaysian bloggers were interviewed and their blogs observed. Focusing specifically on the experiences of the Malaysian citizen bloggers who are not part of the political elites and have been systematically excluded by the established political culture, this research contributes to Malaysian political and media scholarship by capturing and explicating how blogging enables everyday Malaysians to maneuver through the complex dynamics of a contested political culture, democratic media practice and individual life experiences as they are lived at a particular juncture of Malaysian political and media history. The study found that blogging allowed the bloggers to understand and participate in political discourses that are relevant and manifest in their own everyday lives, offering a more participative and deliberative accounts of politics, and an alternative to the established elitist and partisan Malaysian politics. This case is exemplified by how the bloggers in this study were able to negotiate the political by linking politically abstract laws and policies to how these notions are experienced in their everyday through blogging. Despite this new political experience, the study also identified interesting ambiguities in the ways the bloggers still uphold certain established structures such as religion and gendered traditions in their attempt to make sense of and adapt to the changes and conventions that shape their position as Malaysians. Thus, this study proposes that blogging fits into a changing Malaysian political landscape by enabling non-subversive political participation that expresses a desire to belong to a broader and more inclusive culture than the one that presently exists in Malaysia.

Evolution, nucleosynthesis and final fates of super- and massive asymptotic giant branch stars
Creators: name: Doherty, Carolyn Louise
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In this thesis we explore the evolution, nucleosynthesis and final fates of super- and massive asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. Super-AGB stars bridge the divide between low and high mass stars and are characterised by carbon burning within their cores prior to the thermally pulsing phase. We test our implementation of a single composite carbon burning reaction within our stellar evolutionary code by running a series of models, with standardized input physics to compare to previous studies in the literature. In this benchmarking work, which includes phases of evolution up to the cessation of carbon burning, we find excellent agreement between different code results over a large range of metallicities. Due to the fine initial mass resolution grid used to probe the lowest mass models which ignite carbon, a new type of white dwarf is reported, a hybrid CO(Ne) white dwarf, comprising of a CO core surrounded by an ONe shell. Super-AGB stars have long been the ``missing'' mass range in galactic chemical evolution studies due to the lack of stellar yield calculations. To remedy this problem, and assess the impact of the super-AGB star contribution to the galactic chemical inventory of nuclides, an extensive grid of nucleosynthetic yields has been produced for elements up to iron. Since the evolution and element production within stars are strongly dependent on their initial metallicity, we have performed calculations over a wide range of metallicities from Z=0.02 to 0.0001 ([Fe/H]~ 0 to -2.3). We examine the role that the nucleosynthetic processes of first, second, and third dredge-up, as well as hot bottom burning have on the surface composition within super-AGB stars. Stellar yield calculations are subject to a wide range of uncertainties, in particular the wind mass-loss rate, nuclear reaction rate uncertainties, the theory of convective mixing, and efficiency of third dredge-up. We investigate the impact that these uncertainties have on yield predictions. Our results are compared to other studies in the literature, with the major difference being the occurrence of third dredge-up in our calculations. We apply our nucleosynthetic yield predictions of metallicity Z=0.001 to examine the possible role of super-AGB stars as the polluters of the anomalous stars in the globular cluster NGC 2808. Lastly, we examine the final fates of super-AGB and massive-AGB stars in the mass range 5 to 10 Msun. We produce an extensive grid of detailed evolution calculations along the majority of the thermally pulsing AGB phase. These models are computationally demanding due to the necessity of following a vast number of thermal pulses with very fine temporal and spacial resolution. We provide a theoretical initial to final mass relation for massive and ultra-massive white dwarfs.

description: The workshop introduced key topics of research data management (RDM) and the implementation thereof on a life science campus. Internal and external experts of RDM including scientists that apply chosen software tools presented the basic concepts and their implementation to a broad audience. 

Talks covered general aspects of data handling and sorting, naming conventions, data storage repositories and archives, licensing of material, data and code management using git, data protection particularly regarding patient data and in genome sequencing and more. Two data management concepts and exemplary tools were highlighted in particular, being electronic lab notebooks with eLabFTW and the bio-image management software OMERO. Those were chosen because of three aspects: the large benefit of these management tools for a life science campus, their free availability as open source tools with the option of contribution of required functionalities and first existing use cases on campus already supported by CMCB/PoL IT.

Two talks by Robert Haase (ScaDS.AI/ Uni Leipzig) and Robert Müller (Kontaktstelle Forschungsdaten, TU Dresden with contributions from Denise Dörfel) that opened the symposium were shared independently:

description: Portlandite, as a most soluble cement hydration reaction product, affects mechanical and durability properties of cementitious materials. In the present work, an atomistic kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) upscaling approach is implemented in MATLAB code in order to investigate the dissolution time and morphology changes of a hexagonal platelet portlandite crystal. First, the atomistic rate constants of individual Ca dissolution events are computed by a transition state theory equation based on inputs of the computed activation energies (ΔG*) obtained through the metadynamics computational method (Part 1 of paper). Four different facets (100 or 1¯00 , 010 or 01¯0, 1¯10 or 11¯0, and 001 or 001¯) are considered, resulting in a total of 16 different atomistic event scenarios. Results of the upscaled KMC simulations demonstrate that dissolution process initially takes place from edges, sides, and facets of 010 or 01¯0 of the crystal morphology. The steady-state dissolution rate for the most reactive facets (010 or 01¯0) was computed to be 1.0443 mol/(s cm²); however, 0.0032 mol/(s cm²) for 1¯10 or 11¯0, 2.672 × 10⁻⁷ mol/(s cm²) for 001 or 001¯, and 0.31 × 10⁻¹⁶ mol/(s cm²) for 100 or 1¯00 were represented in a decreasing order for less reactive facets. Obtained upscaled dissolution rates between each facet resulted in a huge (16 orders of magnitude) difference, reflecting the importance of crystallographic orientation of the exposed facets.

description: This work examines how academic and marginally other types of libraries in Brazil address issues relating to identity politics in the digital space. Based on a sample of tweets posted between 2020 and 2021, it was possible to formulate a typology of “Twitter activism” that can contribute to the operationalization of the term. It might also serve future studies as a means to assess the impact of online communication, which could ultimately assist libraries in making strategic decisions when it comes to positioning themselves politically in their public relations work. On a more general level, the work challenges the postulate of “neutrality” in library work and discusses the role and responsibility of libraries in societies marked by inequality and power asymmetries.

A numerical investigation of periodic actuation on bluff bodies in ground proximity

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: A detailed numerical study on the drag reduction effects of rear-edge periodic actuation on a flat-back 2.5D Ahmed body (a two-dimensional body extended in the third dimension) is presented, with particular focus on an optimum open-loop configuration. Actuation is applied simultaneously in both perpendicular and parallel directions from the upper and lower rear-edges, in phase. Large Eddy Simulations at Re = 23,000 show an optimum drag reduction range between St_{act} = 0.09 and St_{act} = 0.13. There is also a region St_{act} = 0.23-0.27, near the natural Strouhal number, which shows less efficient results. Both results agree with recent experiments completed by Pastoor (2008). A thorough transient wake analysis, including Dynamic Mode Decomposition, is conducted for all cases, with special attention paid to the Koopman modes in the flow and vortex progression downstream. Two modes are found to co-exist in the optimum cases: mode N, the natural vortex shedding mode, and mode A, which is characterised by synchronous vortices. The former is shown to be weakened for successful drag reduction cases. This, along with the creation of symmetric vortex shedding in the wake are shown to be the major mechanisms in lowering the drag (with opposite signed vortices annihilating one another and increasing the pressure in the near wake), while antisymmetry returns to the wake further downstream. Other configurations are also explored, with shear-layer actuation (perpendicular to the freestream only) and base actuation (parallel to the freestream only) tested. The former is shown to be successful in generating synchronous vortices, while the latter is successful at attenuating the natural instability (and can also create synchronous vortices if the momentum coefficient is large enough). Dual actuation (the original actuation method tested which combines the shear-layer and base configurations), is shown to be the most efficient for momentum coefficients under 0.008. At C_mu=0.016, and likely higher, the base actuation appears to offer potential for even greater drag reduction than is achieved via the dual configuration. However, when the body is moved towards a moving ground plane, a set up which better approximates flow over a moving vehicle, drag reduction is shown to be negligible. Analysis of the non-actuated flow in ground proximity reveals a far less prominent vortex shedding wake instability, which renders the creation of synchronous vortices through actuation in an effort to delay it redundant. This is once again confirmed through Dynamic Mode Decomposition.
Effect of microstructural variables on the kinetic stability of aluminium and its alloys

description: Microstructure plays a major role in the corrosion of engineering metals and alloys, particularly for aluminium alloys. For any alloy system, microstructure is not well-accounted for when considering electrochemical stability, which is typically described in terms of equilibrium thermodynamics, i.e. Pourbaix diagrams. However, in an engineering context, a likelihood of corrosion as predicted by thermodynamics is not as useful as knowing the kinetic response of reactive metals such as aluminium (i.e. how fast a metal reacts in a certain environment). This work presents a first step towards developing a physical, mechanistic, understanding and representation of kinetic stability for aluminium-based metals, as an engineering alternative to Pourbaix diagrams. The rationale for this is to be able to subsequently compare the impact of ‘structural’ features, which are not presently considered in equilibrium thermodynamics – however such features are critical to engineering materials. Three key microstructural heterogeneities are studied as model structural variables. This includes: the presence of differing grain boundary density, different number density of precipitates, and varying degrees of crystallinity. To accompany the electrochemical studies, a range of careful specimen preparation and microstructural characterisation has been carried out.

Non-cooperative formation of agent-event networks

description: We study non-cooperative network formation models with two primitives -- a set of agents and a set of exogenously given events. An event is conceived as any entity around which joint activities can be organized and plays no role beyond serving as a platform to mediate connections between agents. Agents incur costs in subscribing to events but derive benefits from being connected with other agents. This framework differs from most existing models of network formation where agents decide which agents to link with. We first study a benchmark environment and identify the set of strongly efficient and Nash stable architectures. The tension between efficiency and stability in this environment is quite weak because there is no conflict of interest between the agents. Conflict of interest is absent because the underlying preference orderings of agents over the set of feasible networks are such that there is at least one network which is best from the perspective of every agent. The tension that does exist reflects coordination failure among agents. We then consider two extensions which help further clarify the two sources of tension between efficiency and stability. In a model where each event may fail with some exogenously given positive probability, the tension between efficiency and stability arises due to coordination failures. In a model where event subscription costs depend on the identity of agents and events, the tension is either due to conflict of interest or due to coordination failure depending on event subscription costs.

description: The current contribution proposes a multi-scale bridging modeling approach for the dissolution of crystals to connect the atomistic scale to the (sub-) micro-scale. This is demonstrated in the example of dissolution of portlandite, as a relatively simple benchmarking example for cementitious materials. Moreover, dissolution kinetics is also important for other industrial processes, e.g., acid gas absorption and pH control. In this work, the biased molecular dynamics (metadynamics) coupled with reactive force field is employed to calculate the reaction path as a free energy surface of calcium dissolution at 298 K in water from the different crystal facets of portlandite. It is also explained why the reactivity of the (010), (100), and (11¯0) crystal facet is higher compared to the (001) facet. In addition, the influence of neighboring Ca crystal sites arrangements on the atomistic dissolution rates is explained as necessary scenarios for the upscaling. The calculated rate constants of all atomistic reaction scenarios provided an input catalog ready to be used in an upscaling kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) approach.

An exploration of health, human capital and growth
Creators: name: Hennessy, Keeli Anne
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis investigates the importance of health as a primary policy target. In particular, it focuses on how health can improve investment and in turn economic growth; this probes the question of what determines improvements in health. The first major chapter (chapter 2) introduces information about the benefit of using life expectancy at age 10 rather than at birth for investment decisions. This emphasizes how health, at an age later than birth, is important for both educational and physical capital investment due to the elimination of infant and early childhood fatalities. The second major chapter (chapter 3) looks into the public and private financing of health expenditure. The chapter examines whether the financing of health care has an influence on health outcomes and offers some policy advice on the restructuring of healthcare systems. The third contribution (Chapter 4) questions the recent literature that claims empirical evidence shows health improves during recessions. This is a counter intuitive discovery, and a plausible explanation is offered here. It is important as it may highlight certain areas where government can target areas of health depending on the state of the economy. Thereby, helping to reduce the impact fluctuations in growth may have on health, and improving overall health.

Matthew's Kingdom of Heaven is No Modern Kingdom of God
Creators: name: Marc Grenier
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: Authorship, audience, literary structure, core motifs, five great discourses, kingdom of heaven, kingdom of God, Matthew, Mark.

description: Abstract: The essay begins by providing important background information about the essential general characteristics of Matthew’s Gospel related to authorship, motivations, and audience. Then it proceeds to closely examine some of the central features of its literary structure by identifying and addressing the interplay of its core motifs such as antagonistic religious authorities and Satanic forces, among others. The focus on theological motifs represents an effort to determine whether Matthew’s narrative was simply a slapdash stylistic modification of Mark’s Gospel, or unique in its own right. Particular attention is subsequently devoted to one of Matthew’s core theological organizational themes, ‘Kingdom of Heaven’, with the aim of examining to what extent it may improve understanding of important aspects of the Christian doctrine he wanted to emphasize. Matthew’s ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ is then contrasted with the ‘Kingdom of God’ concept to note similarities and differences, if any. After reviewing how the kingdom of heaven motif runs through all of Matthew’s five great discourses (Sermon on the Mount, mission, parables, church discipline, and End-Times), the essay concludes by suggesting that Matthew’s concept is radically different from the ’Kingdom of God’ concept employed in much of contemporary biblical scholarship especially in the heavy emphasis upon its spiritual dimensions.
title: Effects of lipid emulsions used in total parenteral nutrition and breast milk of lean and obese women, on adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells

description: The growth of fat tissue in infants depends mainly on the differentiation and hypertrophy of existing adipocytes cells; thus, it is a sensitive period for the development of obesity. The objective of this thesis was to investigate the effects of lipid emulsions (Omegaven, SMOFlipid, and Intralipid) and breast milk (BM) on adipogenesis and lipolysis using 3T3-L1 cells. Intralipid, SMOFlipid, and Omegaven had omega (n)-6:n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) of 7.8:1, 2.72:1 and 0.2:1, respectively. Upon treatment of 3T3-L1 cells with lipid emulsions, Omegaven treatment increased eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) levels in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, reduced triacylglycerol accumulation and inhibited the mRNA expression of lipogenic and lipolytic genes, compared to control or cells treated with SMOFlipid and Intralipid. BM from obese women (BMO) had higher n-6:n-3 PUFA compared to BM from lean women (BML). Upon treatment of 3T3-L1 cells, BML with high n-6:n-3 PUFA increased the mRNA expression of lipogenic genes; however, there was no effect of BMO lipogenesis. There was no effect of BML and BMO on the mRNA expression of lipolytic genes. Our findings suggest that exposure of preadipocytes to Omegaven prevents lipid accumulation and may be beneficial in the prevention of obesity. BMO had no effect suggesting other factors in BM may interfere with adipogenesis, and/or cause adipocyte dysfunction.
