description: The accretion-induced collapse (AIC) of a white dwarf in a binary with a nondegenerate companion can sometimes lead to the formation of a rapidly rotating and highly magnetized neutron star (NS). The spin-down of this NS can drive a powerful pulsar wind (PW) and bring out some detectable multi-wavelength emissions. On the one hand, the PW can evaporate the companion in a few days to form a torus surrounding the NS. Then, due to the blockage of the PW by the torus, a reverse shock can be formed in the wind to generate intense hard X-rays. This emission component disappears in a few weeks' time, after the torus is broken down at its inner boundary and scoured into a very thin disk. On the other hand, the interaction between the PW with an AIC ejecta can lead to a termination shock of the wind, which can produce a long-lasting soft X-ray emission component. In any case, the high-energy emissions from deep inside the system can be detected only after the AIC ejecta becomes transparent for X-rays. Meanwhile, by absorbing the X-rays, the AIC ejecta can be heated effectively and generate a fast-evolving and luminous ultraviolet (UV)/optical transient. Therefore, the predicted hard and soft X-ray emissions, associated by an UV/optical transient, provide a clear observational signature for identifying AIC events in current and future observations (e.g., AT 2018cow).

Flesh, Dreams and spirit : life on Aboriginal mission stations, 1825-1850 a history of cross-cultural connections
Creators: name: Mitchell, Jessie
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2005

description: During the first half of the 19th century, Indigenous Australians suffered rapid and brutal colonial dispossession, resulting in loss of land, life, health, culture and independence. Alongside this, though, they also experienced the efforts of a number of self-styled Christian humanitarians: Protestant missionaries and government appointed protectors with a mandate to shelter and nurture Aboriginal people physically, and to change and control them culturally. This work focuses on such projects in New South Wales and Victoria between 1825-1850; specifically, the missions at Lake Macquarie, Wellington Valley and Buntingdale, and the Port Phillip Aboriginal Protectorate. These institutions ran on the assumption that a viable future would be available only to those Aboriginal people who submitted to missionary observation and authority. These people were expected to experience (Protestant) Christian conversion, embrace hard, regular farming work, and allow their bodily functions and hungers to be regulated by missionaries, whilst learning Christian shame and self-discipline. However, missionaries' and protectors' efforts were shaken, weakened and transformed by the relationships they developed with other white colonists and with Aboriginal people. During this period, protectors and missionaries often lacked the political and physical power they would display in later decades, and their writings were shaped by fears about the forms Australian colonialism was taking and the possibility that the white civilisation they wished to represent was neither dominant nor safe. This led to powerful feelings of loneliness and moral siege, affecting missionaries' views on savagery, civilisation, morality and race. Moreover, life on missions and protectorate stations was shaped not only by European attitudes but also by the vital and complex relationships that developed between missionaries and Aboriginal people. Historical discussions of these early missions have tended to be dominated by a focus on the reasons for missionaries' and protectors' "failure" to achieve their civilising aims. However, a more nuanced understanding of this period can be gained by exploring the different ways Aboriginal people saw their relationships with missionaries and with the country on which mission stations stood, and their various responses to missionary projects of evangelism and bodily control. The power of Indigenous ideas, actions and choices, at a time when missionaries' authority was greatly limited, makes the story of these early stations in many ways unique and vital to our overall understanding of mission history and Australian colonialism.

description: We present a QCD study of fragmentation processes for light and heavy quarks in the semi-inclusive region of large x. Large logarithmic terms, due to soft-gluon radiation, are evaluated and resummed to all perturbative orders in the QCD coupling alpha_s. Complete analytical results to next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy are given for one-particle and two-particle inclusive distributions in e+e- annihilation and DIS. Factorization of parton radiation at low transverse momenta is exploited to identify the universal (process-independent) perturbative fragmentation function that controls heavy-quark processes, and to perform next-to-leading logarithmic resummation of its soft-gluon contributions. To gauge the quantitative impact of resummation, we perform numerical studies of light- and heavy-quark fragmentation in e+e- collisions.

description: We show theoretically that a heterostructure of monolayer FeTe$_{1-x}$Se$_x$ - a superconducting quantum spin Hall material - with a monolayer of FeTe - a bicollinear antiferromagnet - realizes a higher order topological superconductor phase characterized by emergent Majorana zero modes pinned to the sample corners. We provide a minimal effective model for this system, analyze the origin of higher order topology, and fully characterize the topological phase diagram. Despite the conventional s-wave pairing, we find rather surprising emergence of a novel topological nodal superconductor in the phase diagram. Featured by edge-dependent Majorana flat bands, the topological nodal phase is protected by an antiferromagnetic chiral symmetry. We also discuss the experimental feasibility, the estimation of realistic model parameters, and the robustness of the Majorana corner modes against magnetic disorder. Our work provides a new experimentally feasible high-temperature platform for both higher order topology and non-Abelian Majorana physics.

Possess the time : the formation and character of Australian intellectual conservatism in the 1950s
Creators: name: Brown, Nicholas
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1990
Subjects: subject: Conservatism Australia
subject: Social change
subject: Australia Social conditions

description: This thesis studies intellectual conservatism in Australia in the 1950s and, by placing the emphasis on the cultural and institutional response to social change, examines realignments in social analysis rather than its ideological dimension. Commentaries on six issues are discussed to assess the range and character of conservatism, and its relationship to social change. These issues are: reactions to Asian nationalism; administrative priorities in Papua New Guinea; the economic policies recommended in times of prosperity; the decentralisation campaigns; post-war concepts of citizenship and ‘personality’; and the social role of the universities. The argument of this thesis is that the reaction of the commentators to these issues, and their careers, values and strategies in analysis, indicate that intellectual conservatism at that time represented elements of a continuation of an earlier period of intellectual reformism and not a radical break with the past.

description: An ethnological research on the Lipovan Russians from Dobrogea, which were in the last decades in danger of assimilation, may be a current theme for those interested in their history, culture and tradition. Renowned fishermen and sailors, the Lipovan Russians have chosen in the middle of the 17th century, the lands of the shores and the Danube Delta as their adoption territories, hoping for a peaceful life and the unrestrained exercise of their religion. Old-rits Orthodox Christians, they kept their religion, a living legacy of the old Russian culture, formed from the founding of the Russian Kievian state (20th century) to the time of Peter the Great (13th century) century). (JORA, 2014, 71) By perpetuating the identity values (language, religion, traditional port, literary creations, musical repertoire, housing architecture, etc.), the culture of the Lipovan Russians is maintained for more than three centuries in an allogeneic space marked by irreversible transformations caused by the modern way of life and the patriarchal lifestyle disappearance. The present study try to highlight informations about the appearance of the appearance and evolution of the ethnic group of the Lipovan Russians in Dobrogea, considerated to be closed for many years, which was guided by ancestral social norms, capable of ensuring the preservation of their national identity almost unalterate.
The determinants of regional poverty in Indonesia 1984-2002
Creators: name: Miranti, Riyana
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2007

description: The objective of this thesis is to examine the determinants of regional poverty and of poverty decline in Indonesia over the past 18 years (1984-2002). The thesis utilises a consistent provincial dataset for selected indicators of 26 provinces collected from 1984-2002. This thesis begins with an analysis of the growth elasticity of poverty across different growth episodes: (i) the first period of liberalisation (1984-1990); (ii) the second period liberalisation (1990-1996); and (iii) the recovery period (1999- 2002). The findings show that the growth elasticity of poverty was the strongest during the second period of liberalisation, and that there was a possible lag of impact of liberalisation policies on poverty. The analysis then examines the growth elasticity of poverty across groups of provinces. It is found that growth elasticity of poverty was high in Java-Bali, thereby confirming that better infrastructure and human capital enable a greater transmission of growth impact to poverty reduction. In contrast, the growth elasticity of poverty was low both in the isolated provinces of Nusa Tenggara and in the resource rich provinces. For the resource rich provinces, this finding is attributed to the fact that mining, oil and gas based growth have a low impact on poverty since growth is likely to be less labour intensive. In addition, most of the revenue from growth went back to the central government rather than to the producing provinces prior to the 2001 decentralisation. Then other determinants of poverty in addition to growth are analysed: (i) natural resources, (ii) openness, (iii) human capital, (iv) inequality, and (v) infrastructure. A special focus is given to the role of two new determinants which are usually ignored in the literature, which are the role of recent interprovincial migration (assisted and non-assisted in-migration and out-migration) and also the intergovernmental transfers of the Regional Development Grants in 1984-2002. Both the direct channel to poverty and the indirect channel through growth and then associated with poverty are investigated. Through regression analysis, it is found that interprovincial migration only affects regional poverty indirectly through economic growth. Non-assisted in-migration and out-migration are growth enhancing strategies, but this is not true for the assisted in-migration (transmigration). In contrast, surprisingly, intergovernmental transfers are neither growth -enhancing nor poverty reducing. On the role of other determinants, only growth, low inequality and infrastructure are found to be direct poverty reduction strategies in Indonesia.

description: The interplay of black hole and cosmological horizons introduces distinctive thermodynamic behavior for deSitter black holes, including well-known upper bounds for the mass and entropy. We point to a new such feature, a Schottky peak in the heat capacity of Schwarzschild-deSitter (SdS) black holes. With this behavior in mind, we explore statistical models for the underlying quantum degrees of freedom of SdS holes. While a simple two-state spin model gives Schottky behavior, in order to capture the non-equilibrium nature of the SdS system we consider a system with a large number of non-interacting spins. We examine to what extent constrained states of this system reproduce the thermodynamic properties of the black hole. We also review results of a recent study of particle production in SdS spacetimes in light of the Schottky anomaly and our spin models.

description: The sensitivity of the present CNGS beam to the sub-dominant $ν_μ\leftrightarrow ν_e$ oscillations in the region indicated by the atmospheric neutrino experiments is investigated. In particular, we present a revised analysis of the OPERA detector and discuss the sensitivity to $θ_{13}$ of ICARUS and OPERA combined. We show that the CNGS beam optimised for $ν_τ$ appearance, will improve significantly (about a factor 5) the current limit of CHOOZ and explore most of the region $\sin^22θ_{13}\simeq\mathcal{O}(10^{-2})$.
Viscous Flow past a Body Translating by Time-Periodic Motion with Zero Average

description: We study existence, uniqueness, regularity and asymptotic spatial behavior of a Navier-Stokes flow past a body moving by a time-periodic translational motion of period $T$, and with zero average. For example, $\mathscr B$ moves in an oscillating fashion. The flow is also time-periodic with same period $T$. However, sufficiently ``far" from the body, the oscillatory component decays faster than the averaged component, so that the flow shows there a distinctive steady-state character. This provides a rigorous proof of the ``steady streaming" phenomenon.

description: Using lowest-order lattice NRQCD to create heavy meson propagators and applying the spin-dependent interaction, $c_B^{} \frac{-g}{2m_q}\vecσ\cdot\vec{B}$, at varying intermediate time slices, we compute the off-diagonal matrix element of the Hamiltonian for the quarkonium-hybrid two-state system. Thus far, we have results for one set of quenched lattices with an interpolation in quark mass to match the bottomonium spectrum. After diagonalization of the two-state Hamiltonian, we find the ground state of the $Υ$ to show a $0.0035(1)c_B^2$ (with $c_B^2 \sim 1.5-3.1$) probability admixture of hybrid, $|b\bar{b}g>$.

Computer simulation of topological defects around a colloidal particle or droplet dispersed in a nematic host

description: We use molecular dynamics to study the ordering of a nematic liquid crystal around a spherical particle or droplet. Homeotropic boundary conditions and strong anchoring create a hedgehog director configuration on the particle surface and in its vicinity; this topological defect is cancelled by nearby defect structures in the surrounding liquid crystal, so as to give a uniform director field at large distances. We observe three defect structures for different particle sizes: a quadrupolar one with a ring defect surrounding the particle in the equatorial plane; a dipolar one with a satellite defect at the north or south pole; and a transitional, non-equatorial, ring defect. These observations are broadly consistent with the predictions of the simplest elastic theory. By studying density and order-parameter maps, we are able to examine behaviour near the particle surface, and in the disclination core region, where the elastic theory is inapplicable. Despite the relatively small scale of the inhomogeneities in our systems, the simple theory gives reasonably accurate predictions of the variation of defect position with particle size.

description: Properties of hedgehog solitons in a chiral quark model with nonlocal regulators are described. We discuss the formation of the hedgehog soliton, the quantization of the baryon number, the energetic stability, the gauging and construction of Noether currents with help of path-ordered P-exponents, and the evaluation of observables. The issue of nonlocality is thoroughly discussed, with a focus on contributions to observables related to the Noether currents. It is shown that with typical model parameters the solitons are not far from the weak nonlocality limit. The methods developed are applicable to solitons in models with separable nonlocal four-fermion interactions.

description: Strong interaction effects are addressed in connection to extracting |V_{cb}|. A comprehensive approach is described not relying on a 1/m_c expansion; it allows a percent accuracy without ad hoc assumptions about higher-order effects. An alternative to the M_X^2 variable is proposed improving convergence. Intrinsic hardness of integrated observables with a cut on E_\ell is discussed; it can be responsible for the behavior of reported by BaBar. Consequences of the proximity to the `BPS' limit are considered.

description: This paper presented the influence of Al(III) on biodegradability, micromorphology, composition and functional groups characteristics of the biofilm extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) during different growth phases. The sequencing batch biofilm reactors were developed to cultivate biofilms under different Al(III) dosages. The results elucidated that Al(III) affected biofilm development adversely at the beginning of biofilm growth, but promoted the biofilm mass and improved the biofilm activity with the growth of the biofilm. The micromorphological observation indicated that Al(III) led to a reduction of the ﬁlaments and promotion of the EPS secretion in growth phases of the biofilm, also Al(III) could promote microorganisms to form larger colonies for mature biofilm. Then, the analysis of EPS contents and components suggested that Al(III) could increase the protein (PN) of tightly bound EPS (TB-EPS) which alleviated the metal toxicity inhibition on the biofilm during the initial phases of biofilm growth. The biofilm could gradually adapt to the inhibition caused by Al(III) at the biofilm maturation moment. Finally, through the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, it was found that Al(III) was beneficial for the proliferation and secretion of TB-EPS functional groups, especially the functional groups of protein and polysaccharides.

description: We present spectra and near-infrared images of a sample of faint radio sources initially selected as promising high-redshift radio galaxy (HzRG) candidates. We have determined redshifts for a total of 13 radio galaxies with redshifts ranging from $0.52\le z \le 5.72$. Our sample probes radio luminosities that are almost an order of magnitude fainter than previous large samples at the highest redshifts. We use near-infrared photometry for a subsample of these galaxies to calculate stellar masses using simple stellar population models, and find stellar masses to be in the range $10^{10.8} - 10^{11.7} M_\odot$. We then compare our faint radio galaxies with brighter radio galaxies at $z\ge2$ from the literature. We find that fainter radio galaxies have lower Ly$α$ luminosities and narrower full width at half maxima compared to the bright ones, implying photoionisation by weaker AGN. We also rule out the presence of strong shocks in faint HzRGs. The stellar masses determined for faint HzRGs are lower than what has been observed for brighter ones. We find that faint HzRG population in the redshift range $2-4$ forms a bridge between star-forming and narrow-line AGN, whereas the ones at $z>4$ are dominated by star-formation, and may be building up their stellar mass through cold accretion of gas. Finally, we show that the overall redshift evolution of radio sizes at $z>2$ is fully compatible with increased inverse Compton scattering losses at high redshifts.

description: Xylanases are widely used in the degradation of lignocellulose and are important industrial enzymes. Therefore, increasing the catalytic activity of xylanases can improve their efficiency and performance. In this study, we introduced the C-terminal proline-rich oligopeptide of the rumen-derived XynA into XylR, a GH10 family xylanase. The optimum temperature and pH of the fused enzyme (XylR-Fu) were consistent with those of XylR; however, its catalytic efficiency was 2.48-fold higher than that of XylR. Although the proline-rich oligopeptide did not change the enzyme hydrolysis mode, the amount of oligosaccharides released from beechwood xylan by XylR-Fu was 17% higher than that released by XylR. This increase may be due to the abundance of proline in the oligopeptide, which plays an important role in substrate binding. Furthermore, circular dichroism analysis indicated that the proline-rich oligopeptide might increase the rigidity of the overall structure, thereby enhancing the affinity to the substrate and catalytic activity of the enzyme. Our study shows that the proline-rich oligopeptide enhances the catalytic efficiency of GH10 xylanases and provides a better understanding of the C-terminal oligopeptide-function relationships. This knowledge can guide the rational design of GH10 xylanases to improve their catalytic activity and provides clues for further applications of xylanases in industry.

description: The group of planar (or flat) pure braids on $n$ strands, also known as the pure twin group, is the fundamental group of the configuration space $F_{n,3}(\mathbb{R})$ of $n$ labelled points in $\mathbb{R}$ no three of which coincide. The planar pure braid groups on 3, 4 and 5 strands are free. In this note we describe the planar pure braid group on 6 strands: it is a free product of the free group on 71 generators and 20 copies of the free abelian group of rank two.

description: We calculate the string tension, K, and some of the lightest glueball masses, M, in 3+1 dimensional SU(N) lattice gauge theories for N=2,3,4,5 . From the continuum extrapolation of the lattice values, we find that the mass ratios, M/sqrt(K), appear to show a rapid approach to the large-N limit, and, indeed, can be described all the way down to SU(2) using just a leading O(1/NxN) correction. We confirm that the smooth large-N limit we find, is obtained by keeping a constant 't Hooft coupling. We also calculate the topological charge of the gauge fields. We observe that, as expected, the density of small-size instantons vanishes rapidly as N increases, while the topological susceptibility appears to have a non-zero N=infinity limit.

description: The decomposition of nonlocal operators (and of their matrix elements) into an (infinite) series w.r.t. geometric twist is used to introduce (new) parton distributions, generalized parton distributions and hadron wave functions of definite twist. Their comparision with the conventional distributions (of definite dynamical twist) leads to Wandzura-Wilczek like relations, Burkhardt-Cottingham like sum rules and allows for power corrections of the various distribution amplitudes. Some general aspects are reviewed.

description: We critically reexamine the formalism for treating the leading-twist contributions from the two-gluon Fock components occurring in hard processes that involve eta and eta' mesons and establish a consistent set of conventions for the definition of the gluon distribution amplitudes, the anomalous dimensions as well as the projector of a two-gluon state onto an eta or eta' state. We calculate the eta, eta'--photon transition form factor to order alpha_s and show the cancellation of the collinear and UV singularities explicitly. An estimate of the lowest Gegenbauer coefficients of the gluon and quark distribution amplitudes is obtained from a fit to the eta, eta'--photon transition form factor data. In order to elucidate the role of the two-gluon Fock component further, we analyze electroproduction of eta, eta' mesons and the g*g* eta (eta') vertex.

description: We investigate the black hole evaporation process in Lovelock gravity with diverse dimensions. By selecting the appropriate coefficients, the space-time solutions can possess a unique AdS vacuum with a fixed cosmological constant $Λ=-\frac{(d-1)(d-2)}{2\ell^{2}}$. The black hole solutions can be divided into two cases: $d>2k+1$ and $d=2k+1$. In the case of $d>2k+1$, the black hole is in an analogy with the Schwarzschild AdS black hole, and the life time is bounded by a time of the order of $\ell^{d-2k+1}$, which reduces Page's result on the Einstein gravity in $k=1$. In the case of $d=2k+1$, the black hole resembles the three dimensional black hole. The black hole vacuum corresponds to $T=0$, so the black hole will take infinite time to evaporate away for any initial states, which obeys the third law of thermodynamics. In the asymptotically flat limit $\ell\rightarrow \infty$, the system reduces to the pure Lovelock gravity that only possesses the highest $k$-th order term. For a initial mass $M_0$, the life time of the black hole is in the order of $M_0^{\frac{d-2k+1}{d-2k-1}}$.

description: The form of the most general orbifold breaking of gauge, global and supersymmetries with a single extra dimension is given. In certain theories the Higgs boson mass is ultraviolet finite due to an unbroken local supersymmetry, which is explicitly exhibited. We construct: a 1 parameter SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1) theory with 1 bulk Higgs hypermultiplet, a 2 parameter SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1) theory with 2 bulk Higgs hypermultiplets, and a 2 parameter SU(5) \to SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1) theory with 2 bulk Higgs hypermultiplets, and demonstrate that these theories are unique. We compute the Higgs mass and compactification scale in the SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1) theory with 1 bulk Higgs hypermultiplet.

description: Nanoparticle-induced genotoxicity can arise through different mechanisms, and generally, primary and secondary genotoxicity can be distinguished where the secondary is driven by an inflammatory response. It is, however, yet unclear how a secondary genotoxicity can be detected using in vitro methods. The aim of this study was to investigate inflammation and genotoxicity caused by agglomerated nickel (Ni) and nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles and, furthermore, to explore the possibility to test secondary (inflammation-driven) genotoxicity in vitro. As a benchmark particle to compare with, we used crystalline silica (quartz). A proteome profiler antibody array was used to screen for changes in release of 105 different cytokines and the results showed an increased secretion of various cytokines including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) following exposure of macrophages (differentiated THP-1 cells). Both Ni and NiO caused DNA damage (comet assay) following exposure of human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEC) and interestingly conditioned media (CM) from exposed macrophages also resulted in DNA damage (2- and 3-fold increase for Ni and NiO, respectively). Similar results were also found when using a co-culture system of macrophages and epithelial cells. In conclusion, this study shows that it is possible to detect a secondary genotoxicity in lung epithelial cells by using in vitro methods based on conditioned media or co-cultures. Further investigation is needed in order to find out what factors that are causing this secondary genotoxicity and whether such effects are caused by numerous nanoparticles.

description: Organic anion transport polypeptide 2B1 (OATP2B1), as an uptake transporter, is involved in the transport of many related substrate drugs and endogenous substances in the lungs. A large amount of data shows that cigarette smoke plays an important role in the occurrence and development of lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma and bronchitis. However, the effect of cigarette smoke combined with lipopolysaccharide-induced pulmonary inflammation on the expression of OATP2B1 is not clear. In this study, we used cigarette smoke combined with lipopolysaccharide to establish a lung inflammation model in vivo and in vitro to explore the effect of inflammation on the expression of OATP2B1. Our study found that cigarette smoke combined with lipopolysaccharide-induced pulmonary inflammation upregulated the mRNA and protein expression of OATP2B1 and related inflammatory factors, and the expression level of related proteins was higher with the aggravation of inflammation. The experimental results of animals in vivo were consistent with those of cells in vitro. In summary, these findings provide a model and basis for a follow-up study of the mechanism of OATP2B1 in pulmonary inflammation.

description: A line of hard spheres confined by a transverse harmonic potential, with hard walls at its ends, exhibits a variety of buckled structures as it is compressed longitudinally. Here we show that these may be conveniently observed in a rotating liquid-filled tube (originally introduced by Lee et al. [T. Lee, K. Gizynski, and B. Grzybowski, Adv. Mater. 29, 1704274 (2017)] to assemble ordered three dimensional structures at higher compressions). The corresponding theoretical model is transparent and easily investigated numerically, as well as by analytic approximations. Hence we explore a wide range of predicted structures occurring via bifurcation, of which the stable ones are also observed in our experiments. Qualitatively similar structures have previously been found in trapped ion systems.

We find that the non-Abelian action density near the monopoles belonging to the percolating cluster decreases when we approach the monopole center. Our estimate of the monopole radius is R_mon ~ 0.04 fm.

description: A sensitive electrochemical platform for the determination of bisphenol A (BPA) was constructed. A hybrid of MoS2 quantum dots decorated poly sodium styrene sulfonate functionalized reduced graphene oxide (MoS2 QDS@PSS-rGO) was prepared by a simple method. The hybrid was cast on a bare glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to form the MoS2 QDs@PSS-rGO/GCE. The electrochemical response of BPA on the MoS2 QDs@PSS-rGO/GCE was significantly enhanced compared to the unmodified electrode, indicating that the nanocomposite possessed an electrocatalytic effect. A novel method was established to determine BPA with a detection limit of 0.008 μM. The applicability of the prepared sensor was demonstrated to determine BPA in real samples with high recoveries.
