Optofluidic sorting of ultra-bright nanodiamonds
Creators: name: White, James
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Biological imaging will advance when fluorescent markers overcome the limitations of toxicity and photo instability. Recent work by Brown [31] indicates that fluorescent nanodiamonds avoid these limitations, as the carbon composition of the diamond removes toxicity and the embedding of defects in the diamond lattice increases photo stability. A current restriction to the use of nanodiamonds in imaging applications is the brightness variations from particle-to-particle [14]. A new project at Macquarie University intends to improve the brightness uniformity of nanodiamond materials, using a sorting mechanism that impacts the defects embedded in the diamond. This thesis works towards the aims of the recently funded Discovery Project (DP170103010) to quantify the impact that defect variations have on the scattering force effect, and to develop a system for enriching the brightest particles. Fulfilling this aim required the development of a microfluidic device with an observable micro-channel and orthogonal laser accessibility. An optical setup was established to direct a high powered laser at a sample of particles that were suspended inside the channel. Microscopic images were recorded and the trajectories of each particle were tracked and recorded to quantify thebehaviour of the impacted particles [1].

description: Light propagation in systems of optical cavities coupled to waveguides can be conveniently described by a general rate equation model known as (temporal) coupled mode theory (CMT). We present an alternative derivation of the CMT for optical cavity-waveguide structures, which explicitly relies on the treatment of the cavity modes as quasinormal modes with properties that are distinctly different from those of the modes in the waveguides. The two families of modes are coupled via the field equivalence principle to provide a physically appealing yet surprisingly accurate description of light propagation in the coupled systems. Practical application of the theory is illustrated using example calculations in one and two dimensions.

description: Nowadays, as a result of rapid change in the informatics and the communication technologies consumers have begun to spend much more time on websites. In parallel with this change, firms adapted their marketing, sale, distribution and promotion facilities onto online platform. Thus the number of the consumers shopping on virtual platform is increasing day by day. Social network websites as a type of virtual communities present an important potential in attaining consumers shopping on virtual platform. The main purpose of this study is to determine the tendency of shopping websites operating in similar product and service categories to use the social networks as a type of virtual communities. For this purpose, the sharing updates of “Limango”, “Trendyol” ve “Markafoni shopping websites that operate on the electronic platform were investigated through content analysis method according to the determined evaluation criteria. In the content analysis, sharing status of Limango, Trendyol and Markafoni websites between 15 March and the 15 April 2011 has been considered. Using the electronic business to customer (e-b2c) strategy which is a type of target market strategy and operating in the similar product and service categories are the main factors to prefer concerned websites. According to the findings of this study, it was revealed that the concerned websites are effectively using social network platform as a marketing communication channel. It has also determined that the campaign and discount opportunities of the products are especially advertised on Facebook and Trendyol use the social networks more effective compared to the other online shopping websites.

description: We present MIRI/JWST medium-resolution spectroscopy (MRS) and imaging (MIRIM) of the lensed galaxy MACS1149-JD1 at a redshift of $z$=9.1092$\pm$0.0002 (Universe age about 530 Myr). We detect, for the first time, spatially resolved H$α$ emission in a galaxy at a redshift above nine. The structure of the H$α$ emitting gas consists of two clumps, S and N. The total H$α$ luminosity implies an instantaneous star-formation of 5.3$\pm$0.4 $M_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$ for solar metallicities. The ionizing photon production efficiency, $\log(ζ_\mathrm{ion})$, shows a spatially resolved structure with values of 25.55$\pm$0.03, 25.47$\pm$0.03, and 25.91$\pm$0.09 Hz erg$^{-1}$ for the integrated galaxy, and clumps S and N, respectively. The H$α$ rest-frame equivalent width, EW$_{0}$(H$α$), is 726$^{+660}_{-182}$ Ángstrom for the integrated galaxy, but presents extreme values of 531$^{+300}_{-96}$ Ángstrom and $\geq$1951 Ángstrom for clumps S and N, respectively. The spatially resolved ionizing photon production efficiency is within the range of values measured in galaxies at redshift above six, and well above the canonical value (25.2$\pm$0.1 Hz erg$^{-1}$). The extreme difference of EW$_{0}$(H$α$) for Clumps S and N indicates the presence of a recent (<5 Myrs) burst in clump N and a star formation over a larger period of time (e.g., $\sim$50 Myr) in clump S. Finally, clump S and N show very different H$α$ kinematics with velocity dispersions of 56$\pm$4 km s$^{-1}$ and 113$\pm$33 km s$^{-1}$, likely indicating the presence of outflows or increased turbulence in the clump N. The dynamical mass, $M_\mathrm{dyn}$= (2.4$\pm$0.5)$\times$10$^{9}$ $M_{\odot}$, is within the range measured with the spatially resolved [OIII]88$μ$m line.

Hearing loss and hearing gained: the prevalence of hearing loss and efficacy of hearing aid donation in the Philippines
Creators: name: Newall, John Paul
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The limited data available on the prevalence of hearing loss in low and middle income countries indicate that it is highly prevalent and associated with a high burden of disease, such as delayed speech and language development, social isolation, and decreased educational and vocational attainment. This, coupled with a high rate of economic hardship and lack of public health services, suggest that there is a vast unmet need for hearing healthcare services. Philanthropic hearing aid donation programs attempt to bridge this gap, however, no research on the effectiveness of philanthropic hearing aid donation programs exists in the literature. This is partly because few locally translated and normed hearing aid outcome measures exist in many of these countries. In a series of four papers focussed on the Philippines, this thesis investigates; the prevalence of hearing loss in adults and children, the effectiveness of a hearing aid donation program, and the psychometric properties of two translated outcome measures - the hearing handicap inventory short-form for adults and the elderly (HHIA-S and HHIE-S), and the international outcomes inventory for hearing aids (IOI-HA). Results show a high prevalence of hearing loss, compared with high income countries, and regional neighbours. In mild-severely impaired adults, the HHIA-S and HHIE-S showed psychometric properties similar to previous reports; but were insensitive to profound loss. The IOI-HA also showed psychometric properties in line with previous reports, however there was a lack of correlation to objective measures of hearing aid fitting. Additionally, the majority of donated hearing aids were broken or significantly under-fit six months after fitting. These findings highlight the high burden of disease of hearing loss in the Philippines, limitations of hearing aid donation programs, and limitations of outcome measures when applied in such populations.

description: In this work we experimentally demonstrate for the first time a recently proposed criterion adressed to detect nonclassical behavior in the fluorescence emission of ensembles of single-photon emitters. In particular, we apply the method to study clusters of NV centres in diamond observed via single-photon-sensitive confocal microscopy. Theoretical considerations on the behavior of the parameter at any arbitrary order in presence of poissonian noise are presented and, finally, the opportunity of detecting manifold coincidences is discussed.

description: We compute the differential cross-section for direct quarkonium production accompanied by a gluon in high-energy deep inelastic scattering (DIS) at small-$x$. We employ the Non-Relativistic QCD factorization framework, focusing on the $S$-wave contribution to the formation of the quarkonium, and including both color singlet and octet contributions. Our short distance coefficients for the production of the heavy quark pair are obtained within the Color Glass Condensate effective field theory. Our results pave the way towards the next-to-leading order computation of direct quarkonium in DIS, as well as the study of azimuthal correlations of direct quarkonium and jet.

description: Günümüz iş yaşamı koşulları otel işletmelerini rekabet üstünlüklerini devam ettirebilmek adına diğer tüm işletmelerde olduğu gibi yüksek performans gösteren ve verimli işgören‐ ler istihdam etmeye zorlamaktadır. Belirli iş tutumları ve örgütsel davranışlar işgören per‐ formansı ve verimliliği üzerinde olumlu etkilere sahip olmakla birlikte, işe bağlılık düzeyi de belirli ayırt edici boyutları ile performans ve verimliliğe katkı sağlamaktadır. İşe bağlılı‐ ğın ayırt edici özellikleri ise işini yaşamının temel ilgi alanı olarak görme, işe aktif olarak dâhil olma ve işte yüksek performans göstermeyi öz‐saygının temeli olarak kabul etme olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Dolayısıyla otel yönetimleri işe bağlılık düzeyini arttırmak için etkili stratejiler izleme durumundadırlar. Bu noktada, izlenecek stratejiler işe bağlılığın öncülleri üzerine odaklanmalıdır. Literatürde işe bağlılığın bazı bireysel (kontrol odağı, ge‐ lişim ihtiyacı vb.) ve örgütsel öncülleri (iş tatmini, örgütsel bağlılık vb.) ele alınmakla birlik‐ te, işgörenin mevcut işinde çalışmaya devam etme kararında önemli etkilere sahip kişisel ve örgütsel fedakârlık tutumu hususunda yeterince araştırma gerçekleştirilmemiş veya göz ardı edilmiştir. Buradan hareketle, bu çalışma öncelikle işe bağlılığın arttırılmasında işgören fedakârlık tutumunun önemini ve etkisini ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Belir‐ lenen amaç doğrultusunda Afyonkarahisar ilinde faaliyet gösteren beş yıldızlı otel işlet‐ melerinin işgörenleri araştırmanın evreni olarak seçilmiştir. Anket tekniği ile ihtiyaç duyu‐ lan verilerin elde edilmesi ve analizinden sonra fedakârlık tutumunun bir işgörenin işe bağlılığını nasıl etkilediği detaylı olarak belirlenmiştir. Araştırma bulguları işgörenlerin fe‐ dakârlık tutumları ile işe bağlılık düzeyleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunduğunu ve fe‐ dakârlık tutumunun işe bağlılığı pozitif yönde etkilediğini ortaya koymuştur.

description: In a many-body localized (MBL) quantum system, the ergodic hypothesis breaks down completely, giving rise to a fundamentally new many-body phase. Whether and under which conditions MBL can occur in higher dimensions remains an outstanding challenge both for experiments and theory. Here, we experimentally explore the relaxation dynamics of an interacting gas of fermionic potassium atoms loaded in a two-dimensional optical lattice with different quasi-periodic potentials along the two directions. We observe a dramatic slowing down of the relaxation for intermediate disorder strengths and attribute this partially to configurational rare-region effects. Beyond a critical disorder strength, we see negligible relaxation on experimentally accessible timescales, indicating a possible transition into a two-dimensional MBL phase. Our experiments reveal a distinct interplay of interactions, disorder, and dimensionality and provide insights into regimes where controlled theoretical approaches are scarce.

description: Her sektörde olduğu gibi turizm sektöründe de son yıllarda yaşanan ekonomik ve teknolojik gelişmelerin etkisiyle tüketim algısında ve davranışlarda değişiklikler ortaya çıkmıştır. Sürdürülebilir turizm anlayışının gelişmesi, kaynakların hızla azalması ve niteliklerinin bozulması sonucu çevresel değerlere olan sorumluluk bilincinin artması, klasik tatil anlayışının yerini alternatif turizm türlerinin alması gibi nedenler insanların farklı arayışlar içine girmesine neden olmuştur. Farklı kültürleri tanıma ve yeni yerler keşfetme amacıyla seyahat eden turistlerin bu hareketleri kültür turizmini ve kültürel varlıkları, seyahat kararlarında etkili olan iki önemli değişken haline getirmiştir. Bu çalışmada, Konya’yı kültürel amaçlarla ziyaret eden yabancı turistlerin satın alma karar sürecinde kültürel varlıkların etkisine ilişkin görüşlerinin belirlenmesi ve değerlendirilmesi temel amaçtır. Bu doğrultuda Konya’yı ziyaret eden yabancı turistler araştırmanın evrenini oluşturmaktadır. Anket yöntemiyle toplanan verilerin analizinde faktör analizi, frekans-yüzde dağılımları, aritmetik ortalama ve standart sapma değerleri kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada toplanan verilerin analiz edilmesiyle elde edilen bulgulara göre, turistlerin satın alma karar sürecinde kültürel varlıkların etkisine ilişkin görüşleri olumludur. Bununla birlikte, turistlerin satın alma karar sürecinin ihtiyacın ortaya çıkması ve alım sonrası davranışlar aşamalarını daha fazla önemsedikleri ifade edilebilir.

We directly measure 2.9\pm 0.1 dB of single-mode squeezing, which equates to a produced level of 4.9\pm 0.1 dB after accounting for detection losses. This device showcases the current capabilities of this waveguide architecture and precipitates more complicated integrated continuous-wave quantum devices in the continuous-variable regime.

Intercultural communication in a development project in Samoa
Creators: name: Byrnes, Frances Mary
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The data for this research thesis derives from a development project in Samoa. Through the study of key project events and their associated discourses the study identifies and interprets cultural and professional resources that the project team draws on as they negotiate their way through the project; in particular the 'resources' (including communication resources) that participants bring to project interactions. The thesis explores how participants used these resources and what consequences resulted (for them and for others) from such use. -- This study takes a critical and ideological stance, underpinned by a belief in the value and possibility of social action. While not primarily a call to action, the thesis presents its interpretations in the context of larger ethical and political challenges, with a view to informing change, specifically what deliberate action might be taken to improve processes and practices in future projects. The project is explored as a 'soft' system of social interactions and processes; and as a 'Third Space' (Bhabha 1990, 1994) where traditional boundaries of sociocultural organisation, or of professions, are destabilised and where newlyconstructed practices, orders of discourse, identities and representations are required. -- The study is evaluation and policy oriented. It explicitly addresses the implications of knowledge gained from the research for future project design and implementation. In making recommendations for project change, the study argues for the inclusion of local research as a legitimate project task, to inform evaluative processes and create a framework for ongoing modification to project design and implementation. The recommendations for change made in this study are concerned with determining principles and codes of practice for: - identifying and developing intercultural competence in project situations ; - project training (for intercultural project work, including ongoing participant research) ; - improving project systems ; - using relevant approaches/techniques in organisational change management.

description: Bu araştırmanın amacı, termal otel işletmelerinde Dış Kaynak Kullanımı (DKK) stratejisinin tercih edilmeme nedenlerinin saptanmasıdır. Araştırma verileri, Türkiye’de faaliyet gösteren ve DKK uygulamayan 42 adet termal otel işletmesinden anket tekniği ile elde edilmiştir. Verilerin analizi sonucunda termal otel işletmelerinin DKK tercih etmemesinde etkili olan unsurların işletme kaynaklı ve tedarikçi firma kaynaklı olmak üzere iki temel kategoride toplandığı ve tedarikçi firma kaynaklı nedenlerin daha etkili olduğu saptanmıştır. İşletme kaynaklı nedenler arasında ilgili alanda kontrolü kaybetme riski ve DKK’nın işletme personelinde gelecek kaygısı yaratması ön planda iken, tedarikçilerin istikrarlı olmaması, tedarikçi firma personelinin adaptasyon sorunu yaşaması ve uygun olmayan firma imajı tedarikçi firma kaynaklı nedenlerin temelini oluşturmaktadır. Diğer yandan termal ünitelerin otelin imajını oluşturan ana unsurlar olarak yöneticiler tarafından temel yetenek şeklinde değerlendirildiği ve bu nedenle DKK uygulamasına başvurulmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Termal otel işletmelerinde DKK tercih edilmemesi nedenlerinin otelin özellikleri ve yöneticilerin demografik özelliklerine göre farklılaşmaması ise araştırmanın bir diğer önemli sonucudur.

description: We report the detection of maser emission from the $J=4-3$ transition of HC$_3$N at 36.4~GHz towards the nearby starburst galaxy NGC253. This is the first detection of maser emission from this transition in either a Galactic or extragalactic source. The HC$_3$N maser emission has a brightness temperature in excess of 2500 K and is offset from the center of the galaxy by approximately 18 arcsec (300 pc), but close to a previously reported class~I methanol maser. Both the HC$_3$N and methanol masers appear to arise near the interface between the galactic bar and the central molecular zone, where it is thought that molecular gas is being transported inwards, producing a region of extensive low-velocity shocks.

description: In this work, gold nanoparticles (Au NPS) are synthesized using aqueous extract of
 Dovyalis abyssinica (D. abyssinica) leaf as reducing and surface capping agent. The
 phytochemical test of the crude extract showed the presence of tannins, phenolics,
 steroids, terpenes and saponins. HAuCl4 was successfully synthesized in the laboratory
 from pure gold and hydrochloric acid and then Au NPs were synthesized from HAuCl4
 and hydrochloric acid at 45 oC with a digestion time of 1 hr. The size of the particle was
 modulated by varying the ratio of the plant extract and HAuCl4 to obtain the smallest
 average particle size, 63.13 nm. To study the nature of reducing compounds, the crude
 water extract was fractionated with hexane and ethyl acetate sequentially. Based on the
 evaluation results, the aqueous fraction was the best reducing fraction to synthesize Au
 NPs. The SEM image of the synthesized Au NPs showed mixed shapes which are
 spherical, cylindrical rods and some irregularities. The synthesis of Au NPs was also
 confirmed by its characteristic crystalline peaks from X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra.
 The FTIR spectrum revealed the presence of primary amines, cyanids, ether linkages
 sulfide bonds, and aromatic rings indicating the presence of proteins with more
 functional groups. The synthesized Au NPs showed excellent free radical scavenging
 potential against 2, 2-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and catalytic activity for
 degradation of Bromothymol blue and methyl red. However, the newly synthesized Au
 NPs were not effective to inhibit the growth of selected bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus
 and E.coli)

description: We propose and demonstrate a system for wavefront shaping which generates optical foci through complex disordered media and achieves an enhancement factor of greater than 100,000. To exploit the 1 Megapixel capacity of a digital micro-mirror device and its fast frame rate, we developed a fast and efficient method to handle the heavy matrix algebra computation involved in optimizing the focus. We achieved an average enhancement factor of 101,391 within an optimization time of 73 minutes. This unprecedented enhancement factor may open new possibilities for realistic image projection and the efficient delivery of energy through scattering media.

description: This is a document that follows up on the pre-registered protocol: An individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis on the attachment network to multiple caregivers (https://osf.io/a3qs9). We follow up on the section Harmonization of developmental outcome measures (p. 10). Specifically, we provide detail on the harmonization method for evaluating language competence outcomes. These outcomes were previously found to (a) be associated with early single child-parent attachment (van IJzendoorn et al., 1995); and (b) meet the Minimum Detectable Effect Size (MDES) Sensitivity Power Analyses threshold for the current pre-registered study on the association with the quality of the network of attachment relationships (https://osf.io/mdxf8/). This document follows the 3-Step Strategy of IPD Data Harmonization procedure proposed by Verhage et al. (under review): (a) definition of the unitary construct; (b) evaluating the available instruments used to measure the construct; and (c) recoding the scores.

description: In this work we have applied the recently formulated self-compressed inhomogeneous stabilized jellium model [M. Payami and T. Mahmoodi, Can. J. Phys. {\bf 89}, 967 (2011)] to describe the equilibrium electronic and geometric properties of atomic-closed-shell simple metal clusters of Al$_N$ ($N$=13, 19, 43, 55, 79, 87, 135, 141), Na$_N$, and Cs$_N$ ($N$=9, 15, 27, 51, 59, 65, 89, 113). To validate the results, we have also performed first-principles pseudo-potential calculations and used them as our reference. In the model, we have considered two regions consisting of "surface" and "inner" ones, the border separating them is sharp. This generalization makes possible to decouple the relaxations of different parts of the system. The results show that the present model correctly predicts the size reductions seen in most of the clusters. It also predicts increase in size of some clusters, as observed from first-principles results. The other property is the change of inter-layer distances, which in most cases were realized as contractions and in a few cases as expansions, are reproduced in good agreement with the atomic simulation results. For a better description of the properties, it is possible to improve the method of choosing the thicknesses or generalize the model to include more regions than just two.

description: Hydrogeologic models are commonly over-smoothed relative to reality, owing to the difficulty of obtaining accurate high-resolution information about the subsurface. When used in an inversion context, such models may introduce systematic biases which cannot be encapsulated by an unbiased "observation noise" term of the type assumed by standard regularization theory and typical Bayesian formulations. Despite its importance, model error is difficult to encapsulate systematically and is often neglected. Here, model error is considered for a hydrogeologically important class of inverse problems that includes interpretation of hydraulic transients and contaminant source history inference: reconstruction of a time series that has been convolved against a transfer function (i.e., impulse response) that is only approximately known. Using established harmonic theory along with two results established here regarding triangular Toeplitz matrices, upper and lower error bounds are derived for the effect of systematic model error on time series recovery for both well-determined and over-determined inverse problems. A Monte Carlo study of a realistic hydraulic reconstruction problem is presented, and the lower error bound is seen informative about expected behavior. A possible diagnostic criterion for blind transfer function characterization is also uncovered.

description: We consider a single allocation hub-and-spoke network design problem which allocates each non-hub node to exactly one of given hub nodes so as to minimize the total transportation cost. This paper deals with a case in which the hubs are located in a cycle, which is called a cycle-star hub network design problem. The problem is essentially equivalent to a cycle-metric labeling problem. The problem is useful in the design of networks in telecommunications and airline transportation systems.We propose a $2(1-1/h)$-approximation algorithm where $h$ denotes the number of hub nodes. Our algorithm solves a linear relaxation problem and employs a dependent rounding procedure. We analyze our algorithm by approximating a given cycle-metric matrix by a convex combination of Monge matrices.

Geological & physicochemical characterization of fetra silica sand occurrence ,Jema sub-Basin
Creators: name: Ashenafi Nigussie
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2020
Subjects: Silica sand; Fetra; Physicochemical properties; Industrial uses

description: Fetra silica sand occurrence is situated in Jema sub-basin, central Ethiopia about 143
 km north of Addis Ababa city. Outcrops of Mesozoic sedimentary successions
 overlain by trap volcanic unit represent the geology of an area. This study is
 conducted on silica sand occurrence of Fetra area with the objective of determining its
 geological and physicochemical characteristics. To achieve this, Remote Sensing,
 field mapping and laboratory analysis (grain size, grain shape, bulk density and
 geochemical analysis) were employed. Findings from the Remote Sensing study
 discriminate the silica sand deposit from the other geological units of the area and
 indicate its extension. As the field survey reveals, Fetra silica sand deposit is hosted in
 the sandstone unit and it is found as white to light grey, poorly consolidated sand
 layers interbedded with siltstone and conglomeratic beds. Among sediments that
 constitute Fetra silica sand deposit, sand-size grains are the predominant ones with an
 average value of 97.24%. Gravel and mud-size sediments subsequently made an
 average of 0.99 and 1.17% of the deposit respectively. The majority of sand particles
 possess sub spherical rounded to well-rounded morphology. Geochemically, the
 studied silica sand deposit is characterized by the abundance of SiO2 (average of
 96.65%) with lesser quantity of Al2O3 (1.35%), Fe2O3 (0.85%), TiO2 (0.13%), and
 minor content of CaO, MgO and K2O (<0.06 %). Geological and physicochemical
 characterizations of silica sand occurrence of the Fetra area indicated that the deposit
 possesses sufficient quality and quantity to be applicable in glass, foundry, filter
 media, abrasive and cement industries. In order to extend the potential uses of the
 deposit for making high-grade glass and ceramic products, it has to be beneficiated
 through appropriate techniques.

description: This study focuses on interaction of individuals with the service environment. In this context, the role of environmental variables, service providers, other consumers and organizations/systems in this interaction were discussed. Understanding this role is important for both researchers and practitioners. Particularly, in a service environment where instantaneous and intensive interaction is a concern, to evaluate the effects of environmental variables would be enable to predict the possible negativeness of subsequent experiences and to constitute convenient environment for the service encounter.
Universal small-scale structure in turbulence driven by magnetorotational instability

description: The intermittent small-scale structure of turbulence governs energy dissipation in many astrophysical plasmas and is often believed to have universal properties for sufficiently large systems. In this work, we argue that small-scale turbulence in accretion disks is universal in the sense that it is insensitive to the magnetorotational instability (MRI) and background shear, and therefore indistinguishable from standard homogeneous magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence at small scales. We investigate the intermittency of current density, vorticity, and energy dissipation in numerical simulations of incompressible MHD turbulence driven by the MRI in a shearing box. We find that the simulations exhibit a similar degree of intermittency as in standard MHD turbulence. We perform a statistical analysis of intermittent dissipative structures and find that energy dissipation is concentrated in thin sheet-like structures that span a wide range of scales up to the box size. We show that these structures exhibit strikingly similar statistical properties to those in standard MHD turbulence. Additionally, the structures are oriented in the toroidal direction with a characteristic tilt of approximately 17.5 degrees, implying an effective guide field in that direction.
