Spatial ecology, genetic barcoding, and vulnerability of tropical Indo-West Pacific batoids, with a focus on Australian species
Creators: name: Cerutti, Florencia
Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University
Year: 2012

description: Tropical batoids are abundant and important members of coral reef fish communities. Their populations are subject to intense pressure from fishing and habitat degradation, but due to their distinct life-history traits, can only withstand modest levels of decline without stock collapse. Despite this, basic knowledge to ensure their effective conservation and management is lacking. This project addressed this need by combining several current and innovative research tools to assist the integrated management of batoids in northern Australia (NA) and the Indo-West Pacific (IWP). DNA-barcoding was used to confirm the identification of 16 batoid species at Ningaloo Reef (NRMP), Western Australia. It demonstrated its potential to confirm field identifications where taxonomic uncertainty might confound ecological data, although two major sets of problems limiting its application were also identified. Passive acoustic monitoring was used to study the spatial ecology of batoids in the lagoon of NRMP. By using acoustic receivers, the first confirmed nursery area for tropical juvenile batoids in the IWP was identified - a shallow embayment that recorded most of the detections. Adult rays showed sexual segregation of core areas of activity inside the lagoon, with juvenile and adult rays, moving beyond protected areas. Little evidence of habitat partitioning among species was found at large spatial scales, despite differential use of microhabitats. The current zoning of the NRMP provides effective protection for core areas ofactivity but not for larger movement ranges. As such, spatial management will require large areas of protection to ensure the conservation of these species. An ecological risk assessment (ERA) was employed to assess the vulnerability of tropical batoids to the risk of fishing and habitat degradation in NA and IWP. The ERA methodology was also used to identify and rank research gaps and priorities. Finally, the applicability of these tools, and findings, to the conservation and integrated management of tropical batoids in NA and the IWP, and future research directions, are discussed.
Multiscale vegetation characterisation of tropical savanna using object-based image analysis
Creators: name: Whiteside, Timothy
Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University
Year: 2011

description: This thesis applies object-based image analysis (OBIA) to mapping spectrally variable land cover from moderate to high resolution satellite imagery. The study was undertaken over a 2600ha area within tropical northern Australia. The region is dominated by typical savanna vegetation characterised by continuous grass cover and discontinuous woody overstorey. The first objective examines the advantages of OBIA over per-pixel methods for mapping land cover. A comparison found object-based image analysis to be statistically superior (z=2.285 (p=0.01), McNemar’s χ2=8.966 (p=0.0028)). The second objective developed a rule-set for land cover classification of QuickBird data. For a subset of the study area the overall accuracy was 94% and K^ = 0.92. Applied to the entire area, accuracies were lower with error associated with burnt vegetation. The third objective investigated mapping vegetation structural attributes using OBIA. A tree crown extraction process was developed for QuickBird data. Accuracies over 75% were obtained, despite savanna Eucalypts exhibiting canopy characteristics hindering delineation. The fourth objective compared canopy cover estimates from extracted tree crowns to pixel-based and manually derived methods. Tree crown cover shows relationships (p=0.001) with vegetation indices from QuickBird (r2=0.93) and ASTER (r2=0.22) imagery, and manually interpreted estimates from aerial photographs (r2=0.43). The final objective implemented area-based measures quantifying the spatial and thematic accuracy of OBIA. Results show these measures provide valuable thematic and geometric accuracy information provided appropriate reference data are available. This study has demonstrated OBIA is suitable for mapping land cover in spectrally variable landscapes at multiple scales. More specifically, OBIA has better accuracy over per-pixel methods, transferrable rule sets can be used to map land cover from high spatial resolution data, and OBIA methods can extract dominant vegetation structures. Finally, limitations of site-specific accuracy assessments can be addressed through area-based accuracy measures.

description: Purpose We quantified the acute and chronic effects of whole body vibration on athletic performance or its proxy measures in competitive and/or elite athletes. Methods Systematic literature review and meta-analysis. Results Whole body vibration combined with exercise had an overall 0.3 % acute effect on maximal voluntary leg force (−6.4 %, effect size = −0.43, 1 study), leg power (4.7 %, weighted mean effect size = 0.30, 6 studies), flexibility (4.6 %, effect size = −0.12 to 0.22, 2 studies), and athletic performance (−1.9 %, weighted mean effect size = 0.26, 6 studies) in 191 (103 male, 88 female) athletes representing eight sports (overall effect size = 0.28). Whole body vibration combined with exercise had an overall 10.2 % chronic effect on maximal voluntary leg force (14.6 %, weighted mean effect size = 0.44, 5 studies), leg power (10.7 %, weighted mean effect size = 0.42, 9 studies), flexibility (16.5 %, effect size = 0.57 to 0.61, 2 studies), and athletic performance (−1.2 %, weighted mean effect size = 0.45, 5 studies) in 437 (169 male, 268 female) athletes (overall effect size = 0.44). Conclusions Whole body vibration has small and inconsistent acute and chronic effects on athletic performance in competitive and/or elite athletes. These findings lead to the hypothesis that neuromuscular adaptive processes following whole body vibration are not specific enough to enhance athletic performance. Thus, other types of exercise programs (e.g., resistance training) are recommended if the goal is to improve athletic performance.

Numerical Solution Of MHD Effects On Natural Convection In An L-Shaped Enclosure
Creators: name: Alim, Mohammad Abdul
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This research paper delves into the intricate dynamics of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) natural convection in a square cavity, which houses an elliptic-shaped heated obstacle, filled with an electrically conducting fluid. By employing the finite element method, the study meticulously examines how variations in Rayleigh numbers (Ra) and Hartmann numbers (Ha) influence the heat transfer and fluid flow patterns within the enclosure. The investigation reveals that both the magnetic field strength, represented by Ha, and the buoyancy force, dictated by Ra, play pivotal roles in modulating the natural convection mechanism. It is found that an increase in the magnetic field strength effectively suppresses the fluid motion, thereby influencing the heat transfer rates and flow structures. Conversely, higher Rayleigh numbers enhance the convective heat transfer, indicating a complex interplay between thermal buoyancy and magnetic damping effects. The research provides novel insights into optimizing thermal management strategies in applications involving conductive fluids under the influence of magnetic fields, offering significant implications for engineering designs and energy-efficient systems. This comprehensive analysis contributes to a deeper understanding of MHD natural convection, presenting a foundation for future studies aimed at exploring thermal optimization in various technological and industrial contexts.

description: A negative correlation has consistently been reported between the change in flowering time and the change in leaf number at flowering in response to environmental stimuli, such as the application of exogenous compounds, cold temperature, day length and light quality treatments in Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis). However, we show here that the application of exogenous nitrogen dioxide (NO2) did not change the number of rosette leaves at flowering, but actually accelerated flowering in Arabidopsis. Furthermore, NO2 treatment was found to increase the rate of leaf appearance. Based on these results, reaching the maximum rosette leaf number earlier in response to NO2 treatment resulted in earlier flowering relative to controls.

description: In this paper, we utilize a machine learning approach to identify the significant pathways for c-di-GMP signaling proteins. The dataset involves gene counts from 12 pathways and 5 essential c-di-GMP binding domains for 1024 bacterial genomes. Two novel approaches, Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) and Random forests, have been applied for analyzing and modeling the dataset. Both approaches show that bacterial chemotaxis is the most essential pathway for c-di-GMP encoding domains. Though popular for feature selection, the strong regularization of Lasso method fails to associate any pathway to MshE domain. Results from the analysis may help to understand and emphasize the supporting pathways involved in bacterial cellulose production. These findings demonstrate the need for a chassis to restrict the behavior or functionality by deactivating the selective pathways in cellulose production.

description: This case study on cataloging notated music focuses on music presentation format, and the use of controlled vocabularies in a multilingual context, when concepts do not have corresponding terms in one or more languages, and when common language terms are mixed with technical terms in a specialized context. Issues concern the terminological correspondence among different languages, and the consequent risks if only one language is taken into account or the meaning of one word is arbitrarily altered; English linguistic pragmatism may lead to wrong conceptual results when it points directly to the result of a process, while other languages focus on the process needed to obtain that result. Considerations on the use of codes in MARC formats and on how music presentation is treated in Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) are included, and numerous illustrated examples, understandable even by non-music experts, support the article.

description: DNA methylation is a chemical modification of DNA involved in the regulation of gene expression by controlling the access to the DNA sequence. It is the most stable epigenetic mark and is widely studied for its role in major biological processes. Aberrant DNA methylation is observed in various pathologies, such as cancer. Therefore, there is a great interest in analyzing subtle changes in DNA methylation induced by biological processes or upon drug treatments. Here, we developed an improved methodology based on flow cytometry to measure variations of DNA methylation level in melanoma and leukemia cells. The accuracy of DNA methylation quantification was validated with LC-ESI mass spectrometry analysis. The new protocol was used to detect small variations of cytosine methylation occurring in individual cells during their cell cycle and those induced by the demethylating agent 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5AzadC). Kinetic experiments confirmed that inheritance of DNA methylation occurs efficiently in S phase and revealed a short delay between DNA replication and completion of cytosine methylation. In addition, this study suggests that the uncoupling of 5AzadC effects on DNA demethylation and cell proliferation might be related to the duration of the DNA replication phase.

description: Movement-based digital games are becoming increasingly popular, yet there is limited comprehensive guidance on how to design these games. In this article we discuss a set of guidelines for movement-based game design that were initially presented at CHI 2014 (Mueller & Isbister, 2014). These guidelines were developed through reflection upon our research-based game development practice and then validated and refined through interviews with 14 movement-based game design experts with experience in the academic, independent, and commercial game development domains. In this article, we provide an in-depth contextualization and explanation of the research process that led to the creation of the final guidelines and discuss what human–computer interaction researchers and designers might learn from the guidelines beyond entertainment contexts. The primary contribution of this research is a body of generative intermediate-level knowledge (Höök & Löwgren, 2012) in the design research tradition that is readily accessible and actionable for the design of future movement-based games and other movement-based interfaces.

description: The nucleophilic substitution reaction of cyclometallated complexes; [PtL2Cl] (L2 = 3,5-di(2-pyridinyl)-fluorobenzene), [PtL3Cl] (L3 = 2,4-di(2-pyridinyl)-fluorobenzene), and [PtL4Cl] (L4 = 3,5-di(2-pyridinyl)-toluene) with a series of neutral nucleophiles with different steric properties, thiourea (TU), N,N-dimethylthiourea (DMTU), and N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylthiourea (TMTU), was studied under pseudo-first-order conditions in methanol solution of an ionic strength of 0.1 M (0.09 M LiCF3SO3 and 0.01 M LiCl). The rate of substitution of the chloro ligand was studied as a function of nucleophile concentration and temperature using UV–visible and stopped-flow spectrophotometric techniques. The observed pseudo-first-order rate constants for the substitution reactions obey the rate law kobs = k2[Nu] + k−2. The reactivity of the investigated complexes when [PtL1Cl] is used as a reference follows the order [PtL2Cl] > [PtL3Cl] > [PtL4Cl] > [PtL1Cl]. The lability of the chloro group is dependent on the extent of π-backbonding and the σ-trans effect of the ligand backbone. [PtL2Cl] and [PtL3Cl], which have a common electron-withdrawing fluoride on the ligand trans to the leaving group, have a higher reaction rate compared to [PtL4Cl], which has an electron-donating methyl group attached to the ligand backbone. The position of the substituent on the phenyl group trans to the leaving group also influences the overlap of frontier molecular orbitals which result in controlling the reactivity of the fluoro complexes. In general, the results show that the nature of the substituent, either electron withdrawing or electron donating, results in an increase in the rate of substitution. Second-order kinetics and large negative activation entropies (ΔS#) support an associative substitution mechanism. The experimental data are supported by DFT calculations.

description: In this United States-focused analysis we use outputs from two general circulation models (GCMs) driven by different greenhouse gas forcing scenarios as inputs to regional climate and chemical transport models to investigate potential changes in near-term U.S. air quality due to climate change. We conduct multiyear simulations to account for interannual variability and characterize the near-term influence of a changing climate on tropospheric ozone-related health impacts near the year 2030, which is a policy-relevant time frame that is subject to fewer uncertainties than other approaches employed in the literature. We adopt a 2030 emissions inventory that accounts for fully implementing anthropogenic emissions controls required by federal, state, and/or local policies, which is projected to strongly influence future ozone levels. We quantify a comprehensive suite of ozone-related mortality and morbidity impacts including emergency department visits, hospital admissions, acute respiratory symptoms, and lost school days, and estimate the economic value of these impacts. Both GCMs project average daily maximum temperature to increase by 1–4°C and 1–5 ppb increases in daily 8-hr maximum ozone at 2030, though each climate scenario produces ozone levels that vary greatly over space and time. We estimate tens to thousands of additional ozone-related premature deaths and illnesses per year for these two scenarios and calculate an economic burden of these health outcomes of hundreds of millions to tens of billions of U.S. dollars (2010$).Implications: Near-term changes to the climate have the potential to greatly affect ground-level ozone. Using a 2030 emission inventory with regional climate fields downscaled from two general circulation models, we project mean temperature increases of 1 to 4°C and climate-driven mean daily 8-hr maximum ozone increases of 1–5 ppb, though each climate scenario produces ozone levels that vary significantly over space and time. These increased ozone levels are estimated to result in tens to thousands of ozone-related premature deaths and illnesses per year and an economic burden of hundreds of millions to tens of billions of U.S. dollars (2010$).

description: The task of the ANZAC Corps on the Gallipoli Peninsula was to draw upon itself the Ottoman reserve so the principal landing of the British at Cape Helles could proceed unmolested by this reserve. Thus the Corps senior officers decided upon a cautious approach - far from the full-blooded thrust it is generally thought to be. The Corps was deployed on the first reasonable defensive position ashore and spent the day repelling the anticipated counterattacks. This successful defensive battle, rather than the landing, should be regarded as the critical event of the day. It is not possible to make an amphibious landing designed to attract the enemy reserve unless one knows where that reserve is. This the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force HQ did know, in considerable detail. As it happened the ANZAC Corps landed in the wrong place and this has been seen as the cause of its failure. But the error was not so great as to prevent the Corps fulfilling its task. It was rather that the Ottoman Reserve was a strong force, well supplied with artillery, which was primarily responsible for the disorder into which the Corps fell. An assessment of the combat effectiveness of the respective forces shows the ANZAC Corps to have suffered higher casualties than has thus far been thought and that the Ottoman Reserve was overall the superior of the two. Late in the day with the Ottoman Reserve becoming the attacker and the ANZAC Corps the defender this superiority proved to be not quite sufficient to overcome the natural advantages which in modem war accrue to the defender.

The position of the substituent on the phenyl group trans to the leaving group also influences the overlap of frontier molecular orbitals which result in controlling the reactivity of the fluoro complexes. In general, the results show that the nature of the substituent, either electron withdrawing or electron donating, results in an increase in the rate of substitution. Second-order kinetics and large negative activation entropies (ΔS#) support an associative substitution mechanism. The experimental data are supported by DFT calculations.

description: The joint modeling of longitudinal and time-to-event data is an active area of statistics research that has received a lot of attention in recent years. More recently, a new and attractive application of this type of model has been to obtain individualized predictions of survival probabilities and/or of future longitudinal responses. The advantageous feature of these predictions is that they are dynamically updated as extra longitudinal responses are collected for the subjects of interest, providing real time risk assessment using all recorded information. The aim of this article is two-fold. First, to highlight the importance of modeling the association structure between the longitudinal and event time responses that can greatly influence the derived predictions, and second, to illustrate how we can improve the accuracy of the derived predictions by suitably combining joint models with different association structures. The second goal is achieved using Bayesian model averaging, which, in this setting, has the very intriguing feature that the model weights are not fixed but they are rather subject- and time-dependent, implying that at different follow-up times predictions for the same subject may be based on different models.

description: We show that the largely debated Planck-Einstein and Ott-Arzelies relativistic transformations of temperature do not satisfy the closure group property that two successive temperature transformations must be equivalent to a single temperature transformation of the same form with the involved reference frame velocities satisfying the velocity addition law of special relativity. We then suggest relativistic transformations of temperature that do satisfy this closure requirement and argue that they may be interpreted as particular cases of the so-called directional temperature.

description: WebAssembly is a new binary instruction format that allows targeted compiled code written in high-level languages to be executed with near-native speed by the browser's JavaScript engine. However, given that WebAssembly binaries can be compiled from unsafe languages like C/C++, classical code vulnerabilities such as buffer overflows or format strings can be transferred over from the original programs down to the cross-compiled binaries. As a result, this possibility of incorporating vulnerabilities in WebAssembly modules has widened the attack surface of modern web applications. This paper presents Wasmati, a static analysis tool for finding security vulnerabilities in WebAssembly binaries. It is based on the generation of a code property graph (CPG), a program representation previously adopted for detecting vulnerabilities in various languages but hitherto unapplied to WebAssembly. We formalize the definition of CPG for WebAssembly, introduce techniques to generate CPG for complex WebAssembly, and present four different query specification languages for finding vulnerabilities by traversing a program's CPG. We implemented ten queries capturing different vulnerability types and extensively tested Wasmati on four heterogeneous datasets. We show that Wasmati can scale the generation of CPGs for large real-world applications and can efficiently find vulnerabilities for all our query types. We have also tested our tool on WebAssembly binaries collected in the wild and identified several potential vulnerabilities, some of which we have manually confirmed to exist unless the enclosing application properly sanitizes the interaction with such affected binaries.

description: V rámci projektu BMC-EU (Základní pohybové kompetence v Evropě) byl na základě koncepce základních pohybových kompetencí a výsledků sběru dat vytvořen rámec podpory a vzorová sada nástrojů (výsledek první fáze projektu – intelektuální výstup 3). Účelem této sady je nabídnout variabilní přístup k metodice tělesné výchovy. V první fázi projektu byl vytvořen podpůrný rámec pro diagnostiku základních pohybových kompetencí žáků, jejich silných a slabých stránek z pohledu základních pohybových způsobilostí. Na základě tohoto rámce byly vyvinuty podklady ve formě vzorové podpůrné sady (didaktických) materiálů, připravených k implementaci v konkrétních vzdělávacích situacích, jejichž účelem je rozvoj základních pohybových kompetencí diagnostikovaných žáků. Vzorová podpůrná sada nástrojů obsahuje pokyny pro interpretaci výsledků testů MOBAK (Motorische Basiskompetenzen), podpůrný rámec MOBAK, glosář a vzorovou podpůrnou sadu nástrojů s materiály pro učitele tělesné výchovy ve formě karet MOBAK. Karty MOBAK popisují činnosti a aktivity dle principů variace (rozličnosti podnětů) a jsou založeny na přístupu orientovaném na kompetence.

description: We have recently (Heras et al. in Eur. Phys. J. Plus 136:847, 2021) argued that classical electrodynamics can predict nonlocal effects by showing an example of a topological and nonlocal electromagnetic angular momentum. In this paper we discuss the dual of this angular momentum which is also topological and nonlocal. We then unify both angular momenta by means of the electromagnetic angular momentum arising in the configuration formed by a dyon encircling an infinitely-long dual solenoid enclosing uniform electric and magnetic fluxes and show that this electromagnetic angular momentum is topological because it depends on a winding number, is nonlocal because the electric and magnetic fields of this dual solenoid act on the dyon in regions for which these fields are excluded and is invariant under electromagnetic duality transformations. We explicitly verify that this duality-invariant electromagnetic angular momentum is insensitive to the radiative effects of the Liénard-Wiechert fields of the encircling dyon. We also show how duality symmetry of this angular momentum suggests different physical interpretations for the corresponding angular momenta that it unifies.

description: Road network capacity expansions are frequently proposed as solutions to urban traffic congestion but are controversial because it is thought that they can directly “induce” growth in traffic volumes. This article quantifies causal effects of road network capacity expansions on aggregate urban traffic volume and density in U.S. cities using a mixed model propensity score (PS) estimator. The motivation for this approach is that we seek to estimate a dose-response relationship between capacity and volume but suspect confounding from both observed and unobserved characteristics. Analytical results and simulations show that a longitudinal mixed model PS approach can be used to adjust effectively for time-invariant unobserved confounding via random effects (RE). Our empirical results indicate that network capacity expansions can cause substantial increases in aggregate urban traffic volumes such that even major capacity increases can actually lead to little or no reduction in network traffic densities. This result has important implications for optimal urban transportation strategies. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: We introduce a class of scalar-on-function regression models with subject-specific functional predictor domains. The fundamental idea is to consider a bivariate functional parameter that depends both on the functional argument and on the width of the functional predictor domain. Both parametric and nonparametric models are introduced to fit the functional coefficient. The nonparametric model is theoretically and practically invariant to functional support transformation, or support registration. Methods were motivated by and applied to a study of association between daily measures of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score and two outcomes: in-hospital mortality, and physical impairment at hospital discharge among survivors. Methods are generally applicable to a large number of new studies that record a continuous variables over unequal domains. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.
