description: The power grid is a critical infrastructure that is becoming increasingly indispensable due to rising electrification. Depending on their size, failures in the power grid are accompanied by considerable disruption to society. It is imperative to understand the vulnerabilities that exist within this intricate network, as attacks on the power grid have the potential to wreak havoc on a national and even global scale. With the growing trend of smart grid technologies, the attack surface has expanded, making it easier for malicious actors to compromise multiple entry points. Therefore, quantifying the number of devices required for an attack is a critical aspect of grid security. This underlying paper underscores the importance of identifying vulnerabilities within the power grid’s control systems, understanding potential attack vectors, and implementing robust security measures. Our results reveal a concerning reality: malicious actors with a relatively limited degree of control over the technologies mentioned above have the ability to exert a profound influence on the balance of the power grid, especially with regard to the vital frequency containment reserve. By illuminating these potential points of influence, we aim to create a deeper understanding of the multi-layered threats that can compromise the resilience of our power grids.
Study of Black-Silicon Thermophotovoltaics for Waste-Heat-to-Electricity Harnessing via Novel Fundamental Modeling
Creators: name: Chai, Jasman Yi Hao
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In this research, simulation studies have been done to study the use of photovoltaic cells in thermophotovoltaic applications. In simple terms, thermophotovoltaic devices convert light and heat energy to electricity. They are significant for the conversion of waste heat as a source of renewable energy. Simulation models are important for engineers and scientists to identify defects in designs before/during experimental studies of prototypes. Hence, the results from this research are important in steering the direction of thermophotovoltaics and sustainable energy.
CTD2020: A muon tracking algorithm for Level 1 trigger in the CMS barrel muon chambers during HL-LHC

description: The electronics of the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) DT (Drift Tubes) chambers will need to be replaced for the HL-LHC (High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider) operation due to the increase of occupancy and trigger rates in the detector, which cannot be sustained by present system. A system is being designed that will forward asynchronously the totality of the chambers signals to the control room, at full resolution. A new backend system will be in charge of building the trigger primitives of each chamber out of this asynchronous information, aiming at achieving resolutions comparable to the ones that the offline High Level Trigger can obtain nowadays. In this way, the new system will provide improved functionality with respect to present system, allowing to improve the resilience to potential aging situations. An algorithm for the trigger primitive generation that will run in this new backend system has been developed and implemented in firmware. The performance of this algorithm has been validated through different methods: from a software emulation approach to hardware implementation tests. The performance obtained is very good, with optimal timing and position resolutions, close to the ultimate performance of the DT chamber system. One important validation step has included the implementation of this algorithm in a prototype chain of the HL-LHC electronics, which has been operated with real DT chambers under cosmic data taking campaigns. The new trigger primitive generation has been implemented in the so-called AB7, spare uTCA boards from present DT system which host Xilinx Virtex 7 FPGAs. The performance of this prototyping system has been verified and will be presented in this contribution, showing the goodness of the design for the expected functionality during HL-LHC.
Global University Rankings and the Politics of Knowledge

Publisher: name: University of Toronto Press

description: For many institutions, to ignore your university’s ranking is to become invisible, a risky proposition in a competitive search for funding. But rankings tell us little if anything about the education, scholarship, or engagement with communities offered by a university. Drawing on a range of research and inquiry-based methods, Global University Rankings and the Politics of Knowledge exposes how universities became servants to the rankings industry and its impact. Conceptually unique in its scope, Global University Rankings and the Politics of Knowledge addresses the lack of empirical research behind university and journal ranking systems. Chapters from internationally recognized scholars in decolonial studies provide readers with robust frameworks to understand the intersections of coloniality and Indigeneity and how they play out in higher education. Contributions from diverse geographical and disciplinary contexts explore the political economy of rankings within the contexts of the Global North and South, and examine alternatives to media-driven rankings. This book allows readers to consider the intersections of power and knowledge within the wider contexts of politics, culture, and the economy, to explore how assumptions about gender, social class, sexuality, and race underpin the meanings attached to rankings, and to imagine a future that confronts and challenges cognitive, environmental, and social injustice.

description: Our goal at the Siden Lab is to improve the assessment and treatment of pain and irritability in children with complex health conditions and multiple disabilities who have limited communication and cognition. The origins of this discomfort are complex and poorly understood, so we use the term Pain and Irritability of Unknown Origin (PIUO) to describe them. We believe that lack of a standardized approach to investigating PIUO may be contributing to pain persistence in the kids we see. To address this, our team developed a systematic approach to investigating PIUO, which we call the PIUO Pathway. The goal of the PIUO Pathway is to efficiently identify treatable causes of pain and irritability. We are currently testing the efficacy of the PIUO Pathway. Participants are children who have a severe neurological impairment (SNI), extremely limited communication and mobility function, and are experiencing PIUO. We start by asking questions about the child’s health status, previous investigations and treatments. We also ask about the impact of the child’s PIUO on the family’s quality of life. Children are randomly assigned to the Pathway or Waitlist arms of the trial, and we work with the families to identify or exclude any sources of pain and irritability through structured history taking, physical examination, laboratory investigations and pharmacological interventions. We cannot always identify the source of pain using the PIUO Pathway. Moreover, in children with complex neurological conditions, pain and irritability are not always due to disease or injury, but instead may be due to generalized irritability of the central nervous system. Kids that are still experiencing PIUO after going through the Pathway are eligible to participate in our drug trial, which investigates the efficacy of gabapentin in relieving PIUO. Gabapentin was originally used as an antiseizure medication, but has since become more known as an effective treatment for chronic, complex pain. We hope that gabapentin can be proven to be beneficial in relieving these kids’ pain, the nature of which we still do not fully understand.
CTD2020: Particle Clustering and Flow Reconstruction for Particle Imaging Neutrino Detectors Using Graph Neural Networks
Creators: name: Drielsma, François
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Machine learning (ML) techniques, in particular deep neural networks (DNNs) developed in the field of Computer Vision, have shown promising results to address the challenge of analyzing data from a big, high resolution particle imaging detector such as Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (LArTPCs), employed in accelerator-based neutrino experiments including Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program and Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been the de-facto choice for image feature extraction tasks, and they are particularly powerful for identifying locally dense features. On the other hand, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have been studied actively for analyzing correlation features between distant objects. Example applications for LArTPC detectors include signal correlations between two independent detectors (optical detectors and TPCs), reconstruction of particle hierarchy (e.g. a primary particle vs. secondary radiation), and clustering of particles per primary interaction in a busy "neutrino pile-up" environment, expected at the DUNE near detector under high neutrino beam intensity. In this talk, we present our work on utilizing GNNs in the ML-based full data reconstruction chain for LArTPC detectors.

description: Since April 2019, the data taking phase of the completed Belle II detector at SuperKEKB has started. The high beam currents and the nanobeam scheme of SuperKEKB demand an efficient first level trigger system to reject the dominant background from outside of the interaction region before being filtered further by accurate, but more time-consuming software algorithms. The Neural z vertex trigger, implemented in hardware, uses a three layer MLP neural network to estimate the z vertices of the tracks in an event within the latency of the first trigger level. It is the first of its kind and allow relaxing the track trigger conditions for interesting physics events with low track multiplicity. After the concept was sucessfully tested in software simulations, it was deployed in the trigger system of the detector before the winter shutdown in 2019. We will give an insight into extensive efficiency studies of our trigger subsystem and our efforts of optimizing the performance resulting in an increased trigger efficiency of low multiplicity events.

description: The objective of the study is to see how Recruitment and Selection affects Workplace Dynamics. The data is collected via a structured Questionnaire, and seeks to correlate how, for different demographics of the respondents, the answer to the same question would vary. This study could help set a base for any changes in organizational structure. As found out in this study, there is no direct relation between the given demographic of the respondent, and the profession that they are in, no matter for how long. However, there seems to be a close relation with the respondent’s method of Recruitment & Selection into an organization, in any role, with the effect of that method playing a part into their work ethic.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In this thesis we develop a pipeline using a statistical method to derive the distance of samples of galaxies to measure the number density of galaxies as a function of luminosity (the galaxy luminosity function). This distribution is of high importance as it gives constraints to the underlying physical processes involved in the evolution of galaxies. With this technique we were able to achieve deeper measurements of the galaxy luminosity function than with conventional methods, showing the potential of this technique for the next generation of galaxy surveys.

The Family Liaison : an integral part of our research team

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: In caring for children with serious illness the clinician’s approach is always family centred. As such our clinical research team has continuously involved families in our studies beyond their role as participants in our research. A Family Advisory Group reviews our project proposals and protocols and participating families provide feedback on their experience after graduating from one of our studies. However, in learning about patient-oriented research strategies through our engagement with the CHILD-BRIGHT network, we have come to realize that in order to fully partner with families, specifically parents of children participating in our research, we need to have an embedded team member who acts as a parent-partner in all our endeavours. Therefore we have created the role of Family Liaison as a fixed part of our team makeup and hired Laesa Kim to fill this position. Laesa’s job goes beyond that of advisor for two important reasons: She holds a paid position within our staff group and her contribution to our program supersedes that which can be expected of volunteer committee members. The Family Liaison is a bridge between researchers and participants, not just in the connections she makes when translating the research objectives and protocols to participants, but also in bringing a parent or patient perspective to every stage of study design and roll out. Along with Laesa’s specific job description comes expectations of rather unique credentials to successfully fill the role. Laesa shares in the lived experience of our participants as the mother of a medically complex child, with years of learning to understand and navigate health care systems. Her experience coupled with a disposition for connecting with health care providers as well as fellow parents of children needing health care while understanding and advocating for the specific needs of this population, positions her perfectly to fill this role. We will describe the value of the Family Liaison within our team as an integral part of our research program while showing the power of investing in patient-oriented research strategies to advance our projects.

description: Derived from our experience of recruiting children with medical complexity for research studies, the “Motivations Study” will help us understand the complex barriers to research participation for parents of a child with a serious illness. In this qualitative research study we are asking parents important questions about what research means to them and why or why not they have chosen to participate in it. This line of questioning moves beyond the standard feedback form that asks participants whether their experience in a study was positive or negative, towards a deeper understanding of how research participation is understood and experienced from the point of view of a parent deeply engaged in the health care of their medically complex child. We recognize that only a qualitative methodology will enable us to gain a deeper understanding of this issue. We have chosen a qualitative research approach, known as Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) as the foundation for this study. This methodology will allow us to reflect on the deeper meaning of participating in research through the collection of individual narratives of such experiences. We are conducting semi-structured interviews with 15 families to gather a plethora of rich stories about these individual’s experiences participating in research or perhaps - not participating. Importantly, we have also chosen for our staff Family Liaison, a parent-partner in our larger program of research, to be the study lead. Our Family Liaison plays an invaluable role in bridging clinical and academic research agendas with the realities of the families that enter our research program. As our Family Liaison is herself the parent of a child with medical complexity and carries with her years of experience navigating the health care system, she is uniquely positioned to connect with study participants from a shared context. We believe that this shared context will create meaningful conversation and allow us a deep understanding of what moves parent to give their time, energy and medical charts for the benefit of researchers, or prevents them from doing so.
Curvature-sensing and generation by membrane proteins: a review

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

description: Membrane proteins are crucial in regulating biomembrane shapes and controlling the dynamic changes in membrane morphology during essential cellular processes. These proteins can localize to regions with their preferred curvatures (curvature sensing) and induce localized membrane curvature. Thus, this review describes the recent theoretical development in membrane remodeling performed by membrane proteins. The mean-field theories of protein binding and the resulting membrane deformations are reviewed. The effects of hydrophobic insertions on the area-difference elasticity energy and that of intrinsically disordered protein domains on the membrane bending energy are discussed. For the crescent-shaped proteins, such as Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs superfamily proteins, anisotropic protein bending energy and orientation-dependent excluded volume significantly contribute to curvature sensing and generation. Moreover, simulation studies of membrane deformations caused by protein binding are reviewed, including domain formation, budding, and tubulation.

description: Drawing on interviews we conducted with 15 medical assistance in dying (MAiD) providers from across Canada, we examine how physicians and nurse practitioners reconcile respect for the new, changing rules brought upon by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, along with their existing legal obligations and ethical commitments as health care professionals and MAiD providers. Our respondents reported situations where they did not follow or did not insist on others followingthe applicable public health rules. We identify a variety of techniques that they deployed either to minimize, rationalize, justify or excuse deviations from the relevant public health rules. They implicitly invoked the exceptionality and emotionality of the MAiD context, especially in the time of COVID, when offering their accounts and explanations.What respondents relate abouttheir experiences providing MAiD during the COVID pandemic offers occasion to reflect on the role actors themselves play in giving meaning (if not coherence) to the potentially conflicting normative expectations to which they are subject.
Detection of Anisotropies in the Circumgalactic Medium of Disk Galaxies: Supermassive Black Hole Activity or Star Formation-driven Outflows?

description: Gamma and X-ray observatories have revealed spectacular structures in the emission of the tenuous hot gas surrounding the Milky Way (MW), known as the Fermi and eROSITA bubbles. Galaxy formation simulations suggest that MW-like bubbles could be ubiquitous, but their emission may be too faint to detect with today's instruments in individual external galaxies. In this paper, we present an analysis of stacked Chandra observations of 93 nearby galaxies. We detected soft, diffuse X-rays from the CGM, extending up to 14 kpc, with a luminosity of $(4.2\pm0.7)\times10^{39}$ erg/s in the $0.3-2$ keV band. To probe its spatial distribution, we constructed an azimuthal profile and found a significant enhancement along the galactic minor axis. When dividing our sample by stellar mass, central supermassive black hole mass, and star formation rate, we found that only high star formation rate galaxies exhibit significant anisotropies in the CGM emission. To investigate whether the observed anisotropies could be attributed to MW-like bubbles, we compared our results with TNG50 simulations. In these simulations, X-ray bubbles are strongly correlated with mass of the central supermassive black hole and typically extend to much larger, $\sim50$ kpc, scales. We conclude that the observed anisotropies are either caused by AGN-driven MW-like bubbles confined to smaller, $\sim10$ kpc, scales, or by star formation- or starburst-driven bubbles/outflows.

description: Creating custom artifacts with computer numerical control (CNC) milling machines typically requires mastery of complex computer-aided design (CAD) software. To eliminate this user barrier, we introduced Draw2Cut, a novel system that allows users to design and fabricate artifacts by sketching directly on physical materials. Draw2Cut employs a custom-drawing language to convert user-drawn lines, symbols, and colors into toolpaths, thereby enabling users to express their creative intent intuitively. The key features include real-time alignment between material and virtual toolpaths, a preview interface for validation, and an open-source platform for customization. Through technical evaluations and user studies, we demonstrate that Draw2Cut lowers the entry barrier for personal fabrication, enabling novices to create customized artifacts with precision and ease. Our findings highlight the potential of the system to enhance creativity, engagement, and accessibility in CNC-based woodworking.

description: This thesis evaluated telehealth-enabled dignity therapy for enhancing community-dwelling older adults' sense of meaning in their lives, or meaning in life. First, we found close relationships between meaning in life and several indicators of wellbeing, indicating the importance of meaning in life in older adulthood. Then, two studies suggested that dignity therapy delivered via telehealth is beneficial and feasible for older adults to complete. Further, participants reported an improved sense of meaning in life and life satisfaction after completing the program. Hence, this thesis promotes the use of telehealth-enabled dignity therapy for helping older adults flourish in their later years.

description: The number of known planets around intermediate-mass stars (1.5 M$_{\odot}$ < M$_{\star}$ < 3.5 M$_{\odot}$) is rather low. We aim to test whether the correlation between the metallicity of the star and the presence of gas-giant planets found for MS low-mass stars still holds for intermediate-mass stars. In particular, we aim to understand whether or not the planet-metallicity relation changes as stars evolve from the pre-MS to the red giant branch. Our results confirm that pre-MS stars with transitional discs with gaps show lower metallicities than pre-MS with flat discs. We show a tendency of intermediate-mass stars in the MS to follow the gas-giant planet-metallicity correlation, although the differences in metal content between planet and non-planet hosts are rather modest and the strength of the correlation is significantly lower than for the less massive FGK MS stars. For stars in the red giant branch, we find a strong planet-metallicity correlation, compatible with that found for FGK MS stars. We discuss how the evolution of the mass in the convective zone of the star's interior might affect the measured metallicity of the star. The lack of a well-established planet-metallicity correlation in pre-MS and MS intermediate-mass stars can be explained by a scenario in which planet formation leads to an accretion of metal-poor material on the surface of the star. As intermediate-mass stars are mainly radiative the metallicity of the star does not reflect its bulk composition but the composition of the accreted material. When the star leaves the MS and develops a sizeable convective envelope, a strong-planet metallicity correlation is recovered. Thus, our results are in line with core-accretion models of planet formation and the idea that the planet-metallicity correlation reflects a bulk property of the star.

description: At the heart of any democratic nation lie the individuals that inhabit its borders, heed allegiance to its flag, comprise its political and economical bodies, and fight the very wars that disrupt its political ideals. Max Weber, who is revered not merely as a great sociologist, but the sociologist, contends that any sociological explanation regarding the w1derlying will and motives of these individuals must relate to their self-conscious actions. But, however self-conscious these actions may appear, they are decidedly influenced by external factors, and, as will be shown, a well-constructed novel captures the interplay between the individual, the nation, and these influential external factors as they all come together to form a discernible national identity. Therefore, I will be looking backwards at the foundational and seminal studies of the past while simultaneously examining the present and heuristically conjecturing about the future to extract the essence of' American culture and national identity, with much of my research ultimately exploring the role of the novel in this construction. This project will uncover how Michael Chabon's The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay (Kavalier) and Don DeLillo's Underworld adumbrate the changes of globalization, the fall of the Iron Curtain, and the rise of America as the world's superpower, as relevant to the idea of American Exceptionalism (AE). By first establishing the historical and theoretical background of how such national identities are formed, and briefly examining how globalization challenges these paradigms, this paper will focus on the historio-political narratives of Chaban and DeLillo as their novels brilliantly expound on what it means to be an American. And this is why these novels bear such cultural weight; Kavalier, if absolutely distilled, is about reinvigorating a belief in the American Dream in the America of today, and Underworld complements Chabon's novel so fittingly because it illuminates the necessity of capitalism for the parturition of such a dream. Their engaging prose engage history as a mechanism to inform the reader, while their storylines reinvigorate middle class superiority, and this culminates as the belief in the possibility for this dream to exist in the present and the future.

Artificial Neural Network-based COVID-19 Diagnosis and Prediction
Creators: name: Li, Sicheng
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis focuses on developing extreme learning machine-based learning algorithms and using them to train a convolutional neural network model to detect COVID-19 from chest X-ray image data and optimise the hyperparameters of a long short-term memory-based model to forecast the number of daily new cases infected with COVID-19. The models show excellent performance on both COVID-19 detection and daily new cases prediction. Thus, this thesis will be of great reference if some other pandemics occur in the future.

description: This thesis discusses the popular trend of console gaming, specifically the environmental concerns when purchasing physical copies of games. As physical game copies create waste and are almost unheard of in PC gaming, a greener future for Xbox One gaming could be realised with a full transition to digital game downloads.

 This study focuses specifically on the Xbox One console system and the subject of whether physical game copies should be regarded as obsolete. Xbox One gamer’s attitudes, including buying trends, were investigated using a survey which was distributed to popular platforms in which these gamers frequent.

 The components of a standard physical game copy and their use of environmental resources were analysed. Their relevance in providing gamers with an adequate medium in which to play games was also compared to the option of digital downloads as an alternative of which the latter does not create physical waste.

 Overwhelming favour was shown for digital downloads as the preferred method of purchasing games with answers for convenience, price and preloading as the most common considerations behind this preference. While the survey showed that gamers preferred digital copies, this thesis concluded that there are still a few obstacles preventing a full transition to digital downloads as the sole method of purchasing Xbox One games. The most relevant being collector and nostalgic value, the possibility to trade and share and the security of having physical ownership of one’s games.

 In order for gamers to feel more comfortable in transitioning to the greener alternative of digital ownership, further incentives should be given to choose the digital the ownership option over physical ownership. This thesis suggested bundling digital purchases with additional in-game content as one option.
