description: This study examines the genetics and genetic variation of maize resistance to Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte (rootworm). Rootworm resistance is a complex, multi-trait characteristic with inheritance mechanisms not fully understood or explained. In order to better understand the mechanisms of rootworm resistance and the genetic parameters that condition this trait, three studies were undertaken. The first study examined the genetic variation of components of resistance in twenty-three DEKALB Genetics Corporation hybrids. They were assessed for hydroxamic acid content under uniform greenhouse conditions and compared with field assessments over two growing seasons for resistance to the Western Corn Rootworm in terms of root pull resistance, root damage ratings and root lodging. Hydroxamic acid levels of all hybrids were found to be moderately low resulting in low antibiosis. It appears that rootworm resistance in these hybrids is achieved mainly through tolerance, not antibiosis. The study suggests an opportunity for improvement of resistance in commercial inbreds through selection for antibiosis and hydroxamic acid content. In the second study, the combining ability, additive and dominance effects and the heritability of several traits important to rootworm resistance in maize were determined. GCA and SCA effects were found to be significant in the inheritance of hydroxamate content, root weight and plant height. GCA effects were found to be significant in relation to low root damage ratings. Heritability in a narrow sense as determined by the midparent/offspring regression was found to be 0.34 for hydroxamate content, 0.26 for root damage ratings and 0.35 for plant height. Additive genetic effects were found to be significant in the inheritance of root damage ratings, both additive and dominance effects contribute to the inheritance of plant height and dominance effects were found to be most important in the expression of root weight. In the third study, two inbred lines were used to develop an F2 :F3 population to further investigate the genetic parameters governing some of the traits important to rootworm resistance. The inbred lines used were 93n445 (susceptible) and 118.31 (resistant). Dominance effects were found to be significant in the inheritance of plant height, additive effects were found to be significant in the inheritance of root size and additive and dominance effects were found to be significant in the inheritance of root damage ratings. Heritability in a narrow sense was found to be 54% for root size, 55% for root damage ratings, 84.7% for stalk circumference and 89% for plant height for the inbreds used in this study.

description: The T-cell response is a critical component of controlling many cancers and viral diseases and recently developed T-cell based therapies have become very popular and effective treatment methods. Adoptive cell therapy involves the isolation of a patient’s or donor’s T-cells, expansion or modification ex vivo, and then administration into the patient. The recent FDA approval of an adoptive cell therapy involving an engineering antigen receptor has solidified this technique from a passing fad to a legitimate and effective technique for treating cancer. T-cells are able to recognize a vast range of target antigens through the use of a T-cell receptor (TCR) which targets small peptide fragments presented on the surface of diseased cells in the form of major histocompatibility complexes (pMHC). Further improvement of these therapies and methods requires a deeper understanding of how these TCR-pMHC interactions relate to functionality. Cytomegalovirus is a persistent viral infection that can reactivate periodically during periods of immunodepression. Viral control is mediated by a strong T-cell response and it can cause life-threatening complications in immunosuppressed individuals.Additionally, the T-cell response after chronic CMV reactivation becomes focused to a few individual clonotypes bearing ‘public’ TCRs that have shared sequences between individuals and are often high affinity. This makes CMV an excellent model for studying TCR-pMHC interactions. Several attempts to improve functionality of natural TCRs by engineering for higher affinity have resulted loss of specificity or reduced activation. Methods for direct selection of TCRs with improved activity are currently being developed, however they are very limited, whereas there are a variety of methods for affinity maturation of TCRs. A firm understanding of how TCR-pMHC binding affinity relates to activation would greatly benefit all T cell therapies. This work attempts to provide a better understanding of the relationship between TCR-pMHC affinity and T-cell activity by characterizing TCRs engineered in multiple platforms to obtain a range of affinities while maintaining antigen specificity. Additionally, we observe the relationship between affinity and activity of in vivo derived TCRs against CMV to help aid adoptive cell therapies, as well as the development of a vaccine to elicit potent T-cell responses.

description: Objective: To describe prevalent and persistent oncogenic HPV types detected in women living with HIV (WLWH) in Canada, including in women with cervical dyskaryosis, and to determine predictors of type-specific HPV persistence. Methods: 252 women were eligible for this sub-analysis of a prospective vaccine immunogenicity cohort study (2 HPV DNA results, ≥1 cervical cytology result pre60 vaccination). Demographic and clinical data were collected alongside cervical samples for cytology and HPV DNA typing between 2008-2015. Results: Pre-vaccination, HPV16 and HPV52 were the most prevalent oncogenic HPV types. Forty-five percent of participants were infected with ≥1 oncogenic HPV type and one-third of participants had a persistent oncogenic infection. HPV16, 45, and 52 were the most frequently persistent types. Seventeen percent of women had persistent infections with oncogenic HPV types not within currently available vaccines (HPV35/39/51/56/59/68/82). Lower CD4 count significantly predicted HPV persistence (p=0.024). Cervical cytology was 82.9% normal, 2.4% atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance, 11.5% low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, and 2.8% high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions. Conclusion: Unvaccinated WLWH were infected with a wide range of oncogenic HPV types. Our findings highlight the importance of optimal HIV treatment and continued cervical cancer screening as key steps towards global elimination of cervical cancer.
Social integration and life and job satisfaction: the case of Sri Lankan and indian skilled migrants in Australia
Creators: name: Gunasekara, Asanka
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This research investigated the extent to which Sri Lankan and Indian skilled migrants are socially integrated into Australian society and their level of life and job satisfaction. The survey results suggested that participants are socially integrated and satisfied with their jobs at a moderate level, and highly satisfied with their life in Australia. The results also indicated that social integration influences their level of life and job satisfaction. Findings suggest that there is a need to focus on developing and implementing policies that encourage supportive and inclusive behaviours towards skilled migrants at the societal and organisational level.

description: Diseases have caused significant economic losses to the aquaculture industry and striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) is not an exception. A recent estimate of the economic loss for the striped catfish sector is in the order of 48 to 94 million U.S. dollars per annum. Nevertheless, available measures to control bacterial diseases (e.g., Bacillary Necrosis of Pangasius, BNP caused by Edwardsiella ictaluri) are not cost-effective and sustainable. In my PhD study, I have proposed to combine both traditional quantitative genetics and modern genomic approaches to develop disease resistant lines of striped catfish to E. ictaluri.
description: In the first chapter, I performed a comprehensive quantitative genetic analysis of disease resistant traits of striped catfish to E. ictaluri using a metadata (398,234 individuals comprising 720 full- and half-sib families) over four consecutive challenge tests. The Restricted Maximum Likelihood (REML) analysis using mixed model methodology indicated that there was a substantial genetic variation in the resistance of the breeding population against E. ictaluri (heritability = 0.10 – 0.35). Moreover, the genetic correlations of the E. ictaluri resistance with survival during early growing phase in hapa, survival during grow-out phase from tagging to harvest and marketable body weight were all positive (0.03 – 0.53), suggesting that selection for disease resistance to E. ictaluri may not have detrimental effects on survivals and growth of striped catfish. The high genetic correlation (0.65) between BNP resistance (measured as survival status) and survival time also indicates that these traits could be used as alternative selection criterion in genetic improvement programs for increased disease resistance to E. ictaluri.

description: This research, which employed a mixed-methods design conducted in two stages, argues for a contingency-type approach to negotiation training and preparation in a disruptive environment. It demonstrated that non-quantitative non-project-related negotiation training supports double-loop learning and thus enables buyers and procurement organisations to learn. The detailed contributions are threefold. First, non-quantitative negotiation training, with its fit to “indeterminacy”, is better suited to large European manufacturing firms’ complex, dynamic and uncertain environment to support buyers’ reflection and buyers’ contribution to a change in negotiation preparation routines, meaning the superiority of improvisations and creativity over instrumentality. Still, face-to-face training remains the most effective format to influence buyers’ reflective practices compared to hybrid and digital modalities, signalling that transformation for training formats is yet not complete. Second, buyers’ characteristics, such as cognitive abilities, intrinsic motivation and openness to new experiences, support buyers’ reflective practices the most. In comparison, targets and culture negatively influence buyers’ negotiating training transfer, indicating that buyers fear the measurement and externalisation of performance. Additionally, practice and feedback, needs and interests’ analysis and the structure of the negotiating team are the three critical factors significantly supporting negotiation preparation, emphasising the importance of social interaction. Third, fixed work processes and regulations restraining flexibility in negotiator preparation and organisational routines changes to respond to Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity (VUCA) and COVID-19. Therefore, firms must balance control indicators such as quality gates and supervisory support and coaching loops to respond to challenges, not to nip creative and improvisations in the bud. Additionally, giving more flexibility to buyers with dominant and influencing personalities will support the routines change in procurement organisation.
description: Overall, the developed conceptual model and research results can be used in theory and in procurement practice to address the problem of the effectiveness of individual and organisational negotiation learning, allowing greater benefits of training to be realised.
Para-paradisi. “Colonial agency”, paradisi postcoloniali e invenzione dell’altro
Creators: name: Vallorani, Nicoletta
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2012

description: Based on the issue of colonial agency and aiming at a revision of Homi Bhabha’s notion of third space, this essay considers two novels roughly based on a dystopian pattern and actually showing two similar interpretations of the Other. The first one, Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle (1963), was written as a political and fictional response to the US bombing of Hiroshima and is set in the Republic of San Lorenzo, a Carribbean island whose history has developed through the struggle between a naïf and ruthless dictator, ‘Papa’ Monzano, and a religious leader, Bokonon, who’s made an outlaw though the religion he predicates is professed by almost everyone. The second, Will Self’s The Butt (2008), develops the story of a tourist, Tom Brodzinki, in a tropical island conceived as something of a cross between Australia and Iraq. In both cases, the main focus is the relationship between the Westerner – ex-colonizer and naïf traveller – and the native, that appears to be more ambiguous than it seemed at first sight.  The Imperial legacy produces a definite notion of exotic Paradise that is finally reversed in the colonizer’s Hell.

The molecular mechanisms regulating the expression of acetylcholinesterase in cholinergic neurons.
Creators: name: Krupa, Andrea M.

Year: 2000

description: Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is responsible for the rapid hydrolysis of acetylcholine into acetic acid and choline, thereby ensuring precise temporal control of synaptic transmission. The role of AChE has been well documented with respect to the neuromuscular junction where it performs this classic function. However, it has recently been discovered that AChE is also expressed in a variety of non-cholinergic tissues such as haematopoietic cells and selected populations of neurons. The role of the enzyme in non-cholinergic neuronal cells is currently unknown and its regulation in this population of cells has been generally overlooked. In this study, we established a cell model to study the developmental and trophic regulation of AChE in neuronal cells. In addition, we examined the regulation of the acetylcholine-synthesizing enzyme, choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) to elucidate the relationship between the two cholinergic enzymes. In a first series of experiments, we tested several hybrid cell lines for AChE activity. Next, we examined the developmental regulation of AChE and ChAT using NSC-34 motoneurons.

Numerical and experimental investigation of thermo-fluid flow and element transport in electromagnetic stirring enhanced wire feed laser beam welding

description: The introduction of electromagnetic stirring to laser beam welding can bring several beneficial effects e.g. element homogenization and grain refinement. However, the underlying physics has not been fully explored due to the absence of quantitative data of heat and mass transfer in the molten pool. In this paper, the influence of electromagnetic stirring on the thermo-fluid flow and element transport in the wire feed laser beam welding is studied numerically and experimentally. A three-dimensional transient heat transfer and fluid flow model coupled with dynamic keyhole, magnetic induction and element transport is developed for the first time. The results suggest that the Lorentz force produced by an oscillating magnetic field and its induced eddy current shows an important influence on the thermo-fluid flow and the keyhole stability. The melt flow velocity is increased by the electromagnetic stirring at the rear and lower regions of molten pool. The keyhole collapses more frequently at the upper part. The additional elements from the filler wire are significantly homogenized because of the enhanced forward and downward flow. The model is well verified by fusion line shape, high-speed images of molten pool and measured element distribution. This work provides a deeper understanding of the transport phenomena in the laser beam welding with magnetic field.
Paradisi australi in bilico tra etero e autorappresentazioni: le isole francesi del Pacifico meridionale

description: The South Pacific is a region still unimportant in the world scene, where there are islands which are extremely variable in size and are often gathered in archipelagos. Since it was long neglected by the processes of colonialism, the region has managed to preserve a rich environmental and cultural heritage, abundant and unusual in the European hetero-perception. The region was first considered as a far and wild paradise to tame and exploit in the name of geopolitics and the economy, and is now divided into two linguistic areas, English and French. This situation has not prevented the creation of narratives, representations and stereotypes around this idyllic region and its elements of wilderness, mystery, remoteness, exoticism, isolation.This article focuses on the French islands in the South Pacific: New Caledonia, Polynesia and Wallis and Futuna. Beyond their stereotypes and hetero images (tropical paradises, smiling populations), such islands present some extremely varied forms of spatial organization and land management, depending on physical realities, cultural heritage, social, political and economical processes. While traditional tourism promotes the image of tropical paradise, their self-representations are trying to show a different vision, which increases the differences between the three French archipelagos of the South Pacific.

description: A numerical framework for simulation of the steady-state thermal behaviour in keyhole mode welding has been developed. It is based on the equivalent heat source concept and consists of two parts: computational thermo-fluid dynamics and heat conduction. The solution of the thermo-fluid dynamics problem by the finite element method for a bounded domain results in a weld pool interface geometry being the input data for a subsequent heat conduction problem solved for a workpiece by a proposed boundary element method. The main physical phenomena, such as keyhole shape, thermo-capillary and natural convection and temperature-dependent material properties are taken into consideration. The developed technique is applied to complete-penetration keyhole laser beam welding of a 15 mm thick low-alloyed steel plate at a welding speed of 33 mm s-1 and a laser power of 18 kW. The fluid flow of the molten metal has a strong influence on the weld pool geometry. The thermo-capillary convection is responsible for an increase of the weld pool size near the plate surfaces and a bulge formation near the plate middle plane. The numerical and experimental molten pools, cross-sectional weld dimensions and thermal cycles of the heat affected zone are in close agreement.

description: The attention is focused on the cultural and semiotic significance of the area called Rublevka in the outskirts of Moscow. Since the past centuries emperors and dignitaries settled in the woods and on the hills west of the capital because of the clean air and the beauty of the landscape. Soviet party members built their dachas in the same area, confirming the idea of prestige and exclusivness of the territory. In the mid Nineties, just after the fall of the Soviet Union, the so called “new Russian” (nouveaux riches) started to have luxury mansion built along the former Tsar road, nowadays called Rublevka. Moving from the concept of heterotopia, elaborated by Michel Foucault, as space of otherness, which is neither here nor there, that is simultaneously physical and mental, the article investigates the dream of the new Russian leading class of a “paradise” far from the crowd, from the proletarian memories of housing problems in the Soviet Union and the reason why the “aura” of the territory remains the same in spite of historical and social changes. House and mansions were surrounded by high walls and protected by constant patrolling and security cameras. No socialization was intended, and no permeability was allowed. In the last years the traffic jams, caused by security reasons connected with the transit of political leaders (including Putin and Medvedev), are slowly changing the situation. Show business people and entrepreneurs are leaving the area which is turning from a heterotopia into a “super-place”, filled with super markets, luxury stores, infra structures that convinced the pioneers of paradise-settlement that Italian or British countryside is more reliable and more exclusive, and that the outskirts of Moscow are no longer capable of offering “sanctuary” in spite of their secular tradition of prestige.

description: Objective: To explore quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis. Concept Analysis: A concept analysis of quality of life in multiple sclerosis was conducted using Rodgers’ evolutionary concept analysis method. Eighty-three studies were reviewed. Study Proposal for Secondary Analysis: The proposal was for a secondary analysis using a quantitative, longitudinal, repeated measures design to determine if stem cell transplant has an impact on the quality of life of multiple sclerosis patients with aggressive disease. Summary of Findings: A concept analysis provided valuable insight into the use and understanding of the concept of quality of life in the multiple sclerosis literature. The subjective and multidimensional attributes of quality of life in multiple sclerosis were similar to findings in previous concept analyses of quality of life in general and in other diseases. The other attributes of the concept being measureable, modifiable and predictable revealed the uniqueness of quality of life in multiple sclerosis and provided a foundation for the development of future research. The results of the secondary analysis will provide new knowledge of a novel treatment for multiple sclerosis and its impact on quality of life. This advancement of knowledge in nursing and across health care disciplines will aid in the delivery of collaborative and comprehensive patient-centred care to ultimately improve the lives of multiple sclerosis patients.

Metaphors of femininity and the Australian landscape: two 'new wave' films
Creators: name: Wright, Robin
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: During the so-called resurgence or 'new wave' of Australian cinema in the late 1970s and early 1980s, a number of films appeared which specifically focused on the Australian landscape. Many of these films went on themselves to become icons, not only of the newly re-established Australian film industry, but also of a newly confident Australia itself. The landscape in these films was not simply an uninscribed field against which the action of a narrative was played out, it was the very means by which these films proclaimed both their Australian identity and their cultural value. My interest lies in the role played by the Australian landscape within these popular and nationally influential narratives, and the resonance this has with a number of feminist theories relating to representation and subjectivity. In a number of popular Australian films from the period, films such as 'Sunday Too Far Away', 'We of the Never Never', 'Picnic at Hanging Rock' and 'The Man From Snowy River', the Australian landscape is foregrounded as the entity which defines, contains or motivates the narrative occurring within it. The landscape is the prime determining feature which identifies the film as Australian and overtly influences both the nature and the actions of the characters.

description: The main goal of the thesis is to construct explicit, s-stage, strong-stability-preserving (SSP) Hermite–Birkhoff (HB) time discretization methods of order p with nonnegative coefficients for the integration of hyperbolic conservation laws. The Shu–Osher form and the canonical Shu–Osher form by means of the vector formulation for SSP Runge–Kutta (RK) methods are extended to SSP HB methods. The SSP coefficients of k-step, s-stage methods of order p, HB(k,s,p), as combinations of k-step methods of order (p − 3) with s-stage explicit RK methods of order 4, and k-step methods of order (p-4) with s-stage explicit RK methods of order 5, respectively, for s = 4, 5,..., 10 and p = 4, 5,..., 12, are constructed and compared with other methods. The good efficiency gains of the new, optimal, SSP HB methods over other SSP methods, such as Huang’s hybrid methods and RK methods, are numerically shown by means of their effective SSP coefficients and largest effective CFL numbers. The formulae of these new, optimal methods are presented in their Shu–Osher form.

description: Purpose- The purpose of this paper is to explore the underlying meanings and assumptions of the philosophical and metaphysical aspects of ethical discourse that encaptulates corporate business ethics. Design/methodology/approach- This paper employes a form of the Socratic or dialogue approach to explore and comment on various aspects of ethical behaviour in the corporate sector. The eight dialogues are catelogued as: the business sector; the business ideology;business practices today; the new morality; internal aspects of the business culture; the interrelationship between the business and clients; the interrelationship between the business and the employee; and ethics in business. Post Script-Corporations have a social responsibility that emanates from the legal status they receive as an artificial entity with the same rights as other members of society. These new entities derive their sentient characteristics from those that inhabit the realm of the corporation. In this way the ethical behaviour is both a result of those within the corporation and the corporate culture.

description: Global trade in tree nuts has grown substantially in the last 10 years and is now worth more than US$32 billion annually. A key reason for this growth is the increasing awareness of the health benefits of tree nuts, as they help to reduce cholesterol levels, and reduce incidences of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer. Tree nuts can lose their quality during postharvest processing, and quality and shelf life are critical issues in the nut industry. Quality refers to the ability of a product to meet users' expectations whilst shelf life is the time food remains in a state that is acceptable for the consumer, or considered safe for consumption. The quality of tree nuts can change rapidly after harvest because of their high oil content and high levels of unsaturated fatty acids. The major cause of quality deterioration in tree nuts is lipid oxidation. There is a need to develop methods that can rapidly assess nut quality in real-time during postharvest processing and storage. The general aims of my thesis were to: (1) review and analyse factors that affect the quality and shelf life of tree nuts, and (2) test the potential of hyperspectral imaging to predict nut kernel quality. A review of the literature found that the quality and shelf life of tree nuts are affected by temperature, moisture content, relative humidity, oxygen concentration, light, harvest time, fatty acid composition, cultivar and product type, i.e. nut-in shell or kernel. The most critical factors are storage conditions, harvest time and cultivar. The optimum storage temperature of tree nuts ranges from 5°C to 15°C depending on species. In general, tree nuts harvested late in the harvest season have reduced kernel oil quality. The review also identified that there are no universally accepted quality standards for tree nuts. In addition, the review found that there is a lack of rapid quality assessment methods for tree nuts.

description: We investigate the bending characteristics of leakage channel fibers (LCFs) to achieve large mode area (LMA) and effectively single-mode operation with a practically allowable bending radius for compact Yb-doped fiber applications. Through numerical simulations, carried by the full-vectorial finite-element method, we present the limitations on the effective area of LCFs under bent condition and compare their limits with that of conventional step-index LMA fibers. Due to a better controllability of the low numerical aperture and a large value of the differential bending loss (similar to 20 dB/m) between the fundamental and higher order modes in LCFs, the LMA of similar to 500 mu m(2) (core diameter of similar to 36 mu m) at 1064 nm can be achieved when the optimized LCF is bent into a 10 cm bending radius.

description: Mining is one of the world's most dangerous jobs accounting for an estimated 12,000 deaths each year. In Australia 7 deaths were recorded in 2009-10 by the Australian mining industry. This is eleven less than the 18 recorded by the industry in 2008-2009. The Australian mining industry recorded the fourth highest fatality rate of 3.9 fatalities per 100,000 employees in 2010-11. According to State/Territory Occupational Health and Safety Legislation, safety training for mine workers is compulsory and they cannot carry out any task at a mine site unless they have completed induction training. In Queensland, the regulation provides a general outline of the information to be covered in training, though does not specify duration or mode of delivery. Online training programs in the mining industry are becoming more popular with the most common uses being induction and regulatory training as the internet provides a highly cost-effective way to deliver information pertaining to regulatory requirements. Compliance to the regulatory requirements is a key driver for developers of online training however the quality of instruction for online training programs varies greatly among organisations. Many companies focus on the technological aspects of their online learning programs and not the adult learning theories which underpin effective design and are most suited to the mine employees who are adults. Without effective instructional design, courses delivered online may negatively impact learners' understanding and performance. This thesis focuses on mine workers' perspectives of an online site safety induction program. The research approach used an interpretivist theoretical framework with both quantitative and qualitative methods used to collect and analyse data. Quantitative data regarding participants' perspectives of how satisfied and effective they found the online site safety induction program were collected using a survey. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect qualitative information to not only elaborate and clarify the survey data but also to provide the necessary depth and detail of participants' perspectives, thoughts and beliefs regarding the online induction program.
