description: Identifying and detecting health hazards in food products, especially contaminants and toxic substances such as allergens, food toxins and agricultural residues from pesticides, remains a challenge. Increasing demand for food products and growing health consciousness necessitate rapid and accurate measurements which can be easily conducted on-site without long measurement times and high costs. Due to their ease of use, accuracy sample preparation and rapidity, biosensors have started to outcompete time-consuming lab-scale analytical devices. However, as the use of biosensors increase, a concern of the amount of plastics and synthetic polymers used in the fabrication of these biosensors rises. In this dissertation, new ways to create biodegradable and eco-friendly plant-based SERS biosensor platforms from corn protein, zein, are presented. Its higher hydrophobicity and film forming capability make zein a very suitable biopolymer for fabricating biosensors. In the first part of this dissertation, chemical crosslinking was tested to improve the surface hydrophobicity, surface roughness (using AFM), mechanical properties, kinetics of gelation and film formation of zein films, and as a result zein-film based SERS platforms with fewer defects could be fabricated. In the second part, the detection sensitivity of the zein film-based SERS platforms was increased with metallic nanoparticle decoration (gold, silver or silver-shelled-gold). The addition of all three types of nanoparticles significantly increased the SERS enhancement factors of the platforms, with silver-shelled-gold nanoparticles giving the highest enhancement factor of 105. In the last part of this thesis, a novel approach was tested, where electrospun zein nanofibers decorated with metallic nanoparticles were used as a SERS biosensor platform. Due to their higher surface area-to-volume ratios, electrospun zein nanofibers gave a higher SERS enhancement factor (106). This enhancement factor enabled the detection of acrylamide, a food carcinogen, with a 104 times lower detection limit than nanophotonic based nanoimprinted zein, acrylamide sensor platform. Overall, this dissertation successfully shows the fabrication of biodegradable and eco-friendly SERS sensor platforms that have comparable detection sensitivities to those of non-biodegradable ones.

description: At millimeter wavelengths, the atmospheric emission is circularly polarized owing to the Zeeman splitting of molecular oxygen by the Earth's magnetic field. We report a measurement of the signal in the 150 GHz band using 3 years of observational data with the \textsc{Polarbear} project. Non-idealities of a continuously rotating half-wave plate (HWP) partially convert circularly polarized light to linearly polarized light. While \textsc{Polarbear} detectors are sensitive to linear polarization, this effect makes them sensitive to circular polarization. Although this was not the intended use, we utilized this conversion to measure circular polarization. We reconstruct the azimuthal gradient of the circular polarization signal and measure its dependency from the scanning direction and the detector bandpass. We compare the signal with a simulation based on atmospheric emission theory, the detector bandpass, and the HWP leakage spectrum model. We find the ratio of the observed azimuthal slope to the simulated slope is $0.92 \pm 0.01\rm{(stat)} \pm 0.07\rm{(sys)}$. This ratio corresponds to a brightness temperature of $3.8\,\mathrm{m K}$ at the effective band center of $121.8\,\mathrm{GHz}$ and bandwidth of $3.5\,\mathrm{GHz}$ estimated from representative detector bandpass and the spectrum of Zeeman emission. This result validates our understanding of the instrument and reinforces the feasibility of measuring the circular polarization using the imperfection of continuously rotating HWP. Continuously rotating HWP is popular in ongoing and future cosmic microwave background experiments to modulate the polarized signal. This work shows a method for signal extraction and leakage subtraction that can help measuring circular polarization in such experiments.

description: The intrusion detection system has been widely studied and deployed by researchers for providing better security to computer networks. The increasing of the attack volume and the dramatic advancement of the machine learning make the cooperation between the intrusion detection system and machine learning a hot topic and a promising solution for the cybersecurity. Machine learning usually involves the training process using huge amount of sample data. Since the huge input data may cause a negative effect on the training and detection performance of the machine learning model. Feature selection becomes a crucial technique to rule out the irrelevant and redundant features from the dataset. This study applied a feature selection approach that combines the advanced feature selection algorithms and attacks characteristic features to produce the optimal feature subset for the machine learning model in network intrusion detection. The optimal feature subset was created using the CSE-CIC-IDS2018 dataset, which is the most up-to-date benchmark dataset with comprehensive attack diversity and features. The result of the experiment was produced using machine learning models with decision tree classifier and analyzed with respect to the accuracy, precision, recall, and f1 score.

description: Low-light optical imaging refers to the use of cameras to capture images with minimal photon flux. This area has broad application to diverse fields, including optical microscopy for biological studies. In such studies, it is important to reduce the intensity of illumination to reduce adverse effects such as photobleaching and phototoxicity that may perturb the biological system under study. The challenge when minimising illumination is to maintain image quality that reflects the underlying biology and can be used for quantitative measurements. An example is the optical redox ratio which is computed from autofluorescence intensity to measure metabolism. In all such cases, it is critical for researchers to optimise selection and application of scientific cameras to their microscopes, but few resources discuss performance in the low-light regime. In this tutorial, we address the challenges in optical fluorescence imaging at low-light levels for quantitative microscopy, with an emphasis on live biological samples. We analyse the performance of specialised low-light scientific cameras such as the EMCCD, qCMOS, and sCMOS, while considering the differences in platform architecture and the contribution of various sources of noise. The tutorial covers a detailed discussion of user-controllable parameters, as well as the application of post-processing algorithms for denoising. We illustrate these concepts using autofluorescence images of live mammalian embryos captured with a two-photon light sheet fluorescence microscope.

description: Rootstocks are well known as the most efficient way to limit phylloxera. However, they can be useful in order to improve grape quality. This study aimed to compare the content of polyphenol compounds in vine fruits of the cultivar ‘Regent’ grafted on ‘Couderc 161-49’, ‘Sori’, ‘Kober 125AA’, ‘Börner’ or ‘Kober 5BB’ rootstocks, or planted on own-roots. Grape samples were collected in three consecutive seasons (2013-2015) at a research station of the West Pomeranian University of Technology Szczecin in Poland. Thirty-three phenolic compounds were determined in the juice of examined samples using ultra-pressure liquid chromatography with photodiode array and mass spectrometry (UPLC-PDA/MS) method. A significant influence of rootstock on the content of polyphenols in grapes has been proven. The highest content of polyphenols was shown in fruits from a scion grafted on ‘Sori’ and ‘Kober 125AA’ rootstocks (675 and 643 mg · 100 g-1 FW, respectively). ‘Börner’ and ‘Kober 5BB’ rootstocks did not have a significant influence on the creation of polyphenol compounds in comparison to own-root plants. In addition, the use of the ‘Börner’ rootstock resulted in fruits with an especially low content of phenolic acids.

description: With the world’s increasing usage of electronic devices such as mobile devices and batteries, improving the reliability and performance of these devices has become more and more important. Besides the common overheating issues, low-temperature environments can also cause performance degradation or failure to these devices. Research on thermal switches and thermal regulators aims to improve the thermal management of electronic devices across a range of operating conditions. However, continuous tuning of thermal transport with all-solid-state systems is still challenging. The primary purpose of this work is to propose and demonstrate compressible foams as novel variable thermal resistors and thermal regulators to control device temperature under various input heat flux and ambient temperature. The graphene/PDMS foam is first tested in this work to demonstrate promising performance as a thermal regulator, with continuous tuning capability and a system switching ratio over ~4. Then, the dependence of the thermal conductivity of polymer foams during compression is studied, where the thermal conductivity is measured using a customized system based on an infrared microscope. Unexpectedly, the thermal conductivity decreases slightly at a compression level of more than 10x, in contrast to common theories that the thermal conductivity would increase with the mass density. A simple “spring model” is proposed as a limit where the ligaments do not build contacts during compression. Our results now fall in between the “spring model” and other common theories and can be explained. To gain further insights, a molecular dynamic simulation is performed on a graphene random nanofoam on the nanoscale. The result also shows that the effective thermal conductivity along the compression direction is not sensitive to the mass density, consistent with our experimental data on the macroscopic scale. This work provides useful insights into dynamic thermal management of electronic devices.

description: The objective of this research was to complete an experimental study which would investigate the nature of the relationship between readiness and achievement. Data collection included two components: scores from the Metropolitan Readiness Test (MRT), administered at the kindergarten level; and scores from the Science Research Associates (SRA) Achievement Series, administered to the same 284 subjects at the fourth grade level. Correlation coefficients between these two tests were determined for all subtests, total tests, composites, and the Educational Ability Series. Since correlation coefficients between the MRT and the SRA evidenced significantly positive relation­ ships, the implication is clear that performance on readiness tests can be predictive of school achievement functioning. The educational relevance of this study contributes to the knowledge of the association between readiness and achievement. If these two factors are correlated positively, as the data indicates, it becomes evident that educators need to re-examine the policies of early assessment. Early identification and implementation of programming are vital to the improvement of current educational practices.

description: An expanding field of inquiry is the use of specially trained psychiatric assistance dogs (PADs) to assist in mitigating an individual’s challenges with PostTraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The purpose of this research is to explore the feasibility of PADs as a complementary intervention to traditional PTSD treatment approaches for Australian adults. First, a mixed-method systematic review was conducted to identify the roles of PADs in assisting recovery and examine the facilitators and barriers of the use of PADs in achieving therapeutic outcomes for defence and first responders living with PTSD. A convergent data-base framework was employed and the results from 40 studies were contextualised through the lens of a broad recovery model. Findings from the review, identified PADs play a unique, multi-facilitative role in supporting PTSD-related challenges in five clinical and nonclinical recovery dimensions (clinical, social, existential, physical, and functional domains), as well as recognising challenges of the provision of a PAD for PTSD. The second study explored the experiences of Australian adults with PTSD integrating their PADs into current PTSD practices. The data extracted from a single qualitative question in an online survey from 104 participants was conceptualised through a reflexive thematic analysis. The findings illustrated the inclusion of PADs into concurrent treatment was attributed to goal-oriented progress, improved clinicianpatient alliance, and engagement. Exclusion of PADs from professional practice was found to have had a negative influence on participants’ therapeutic experiences, creating clinician-patient barriers, disengagement, and for some, termination of treatment. The third study sought to understand factors influencing the acquisition of PAD and the type of PAD training model completed. Of the 88 Australian respondents, 90% of participants self-trained a dog to become an accredited PAD and defence and first responders are four times more likely to acquire a pre-trained than the Australian general population. Findings revealed several inhibitive aspects of the acquisition, eligibility, availability, and accessibility of receiving and training a PAD. Implications of this research identified PADs can be positively augmented in concurrent PTSD treatments for best practice outcomes and this thesis contributed to a better understanding of the enabling and inhibiting aspects that Australians with PTSD face when seeking to use a PAD for their invisible injury.

description: In Human Activity Recognition (HAR), understanding the intricacy of body movements within high-risk applications is essential. This study uses SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) to explain the decision-making process of Graph Convolution Networks (GCNs) when classifying activities with skeleton data. We employ SHAP to explain two real-world datasets: one for cerebral palsy (CP) classification and the widely used NTU RGB+D 60 action recognition dataset. To test the explanation, we introduce a novel perturbation approach that modifies the model's edge importance matrix, allowing us to evaluate the impact of specific body key points on prediction outcomes. To assess the fidelity of our explanations, we employ informed perturbation, targeting body key points identified as important by SHAP and comparing them against random perturbation as a control condition. This perturbation enables a judgment on whether the body key points are truly influential or non-influential based on the SHAP values. Results on both datasets show that body key points identified as important through SHAP have the largest influence on the accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity metrics. Our findings highlight that SHAP can provide granular insights into the input feature contribution to the prediction outcome of GCNs in HAR tasks. This demonstrates the potential for more interpretable and trustworthy models in high-stakes applications like healthcare or rehabilitation.

description: Astronomical observations and numerical simulations are providing increasing evidence that resistive effects in plasmas around black holes play an important role in determining the phenomenology observed from these objects. In this spirit, we present a general approach to the study of a Penrose process driven by plasmoids that are produced at reconnection sites along current sheets. Our formalism is meant to determine the physical conditions that make a plasmoid-driven Penrose process energetically viable and can be applied to scenarios that are matter- or magnetic-field-dominated, that is, in magnetohydrodynamical or force-free descriptions. By exploring reconnection from an axisymmetric but curved surface, our approach can be considered genuinely multidimensional and allows us to explore conditions that are beyond the ones explored so far and that have been restricted to the equatorial plane. Furthermore, it provides a direct contact with numerical simulations of accretion onto black holes, which exhibit an intense reconnection activity outside the equatorial plane. Finally, to describe the kinematics of the plasma self-consistently, we use the well-known configuration of an equilibrium torus with a purely toroidal magnetic field. For such a torus, we discuss the existence of an ``ergobelt'', \ie a nontrivial surface penetrating the ergosphere and acting as a natural a site for the occurrence of reconnection, and from where we estimate the energetics of a plasmoid-driven Penrose process.

description: Radiative cooling is an approach that utilizes the material reflectance in solar spectrum to reflect solar irradiation and emit the energy to deep space (2.7K) through the transparent portion in atmosphere (8-13μm). Therefore, radiative cooling is a passive cooling method that can generate a large reduction in energy consumption in the cooling sector. Scientists have been researching on the best solution for passive radiative cooling, including the utilization of multi-layer techniques with a metallic base layer. However, the current solutions are usually not cost effective and thus limited in the commercial applications. We initially started with the experiment on single-layer cooling paints embedded with TiO2 nanoparticles, and we were able to achieve a partial daytime radiative cooling effect of 60Wm-2 Built upon our lab’s success of full-daytime sub-ambient cooling based on BaSO4-acrylic paints, we experiment with colored cooling paints based on BaSO4 nanoparticles instead of TiO2 nanoparticles. Our results show much enhanced solar reflectance while matching the color, indicating the potential for colored cooling paints, although outdoor tests have not shown significant temperature drop compared to commercial colored paints yet. At the same time, we also explore creatures with shells in nature for possible solutions. Seashells are collected and the microstructures and radiative properties are characterized. The results provide insights into bio-inspired radiative cooling solutions.

description: Today, the majority of young people are initially attracted by the quality of education when applying to study in different countries; according to students, this is prestigious, provides an opportunity to demonstrate their independent qualities, and allows them to develop as individuals. However, expectations and dreams do not always correspond to reality; initially, the quality of life of foreign students creates mental health problems as soon as students arrive in the country, associated with "culture shock" or homesickness, climatic differences between countries, discomfort, and language barriers.

description: No Fault Founds (NFFs) are an expensive problem faced by the airline industry. The underlying cause of NFFs are a major focus of research work in the field, but the dearth of consistent data is a roadblock faced by many decision makers. An important risk factor identified is the occurrence rate of NFFs.This research work aims to help decision makers in the Airline Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul teams, when faced with recurring NFFs, to make a choice based on value derived from the system and risk preference of the decision maker under uncertainty. The value of the aircraft fleet is laid out using Net Present Value at every decision point along the system life cycle while accounting for the uncertainty in the failure rate information. Two extreme decisions are considered for the decision maker to choose between: rebooting the system every time a failure occurs and results in an NFF which allows for it to recur while reducing uncertainty of the failure rate; or eliminating the failure mode which assumes that the failure does not recur and therefore completely removes the uncertainty. Both decisions have their associated uncertain costs that affect the NPV calculated. We use a Monte Carlo approach to estimate the expected profit from deciding to eliminate the failure mode. We make use of Expected Utility Theory to account for the risk preference of a decision maker under uncertainty and build an Expected Utility Maximizing decision framework.To conclude we give some guidance to interpret the results and understand what factors influence the optimal decision. We conclude that not accounting for uncertainty in estimating a failure rate for the future along with uncertainty in NFF costs can lead to an undesirable decision. If the decision maker waits too long to gather more information and reduce uncertainty, then rebooting the system for the remaining life could be more worthwhile than spending the large amount of money to Eliminate a failure mode. Finally, we conclude that, despite uncertainties in information of occurrence rates and costs of NFFs, an Expected Utility maximizing decision between the two options considered – Reboot and Eliminate – is possible given the available information.

description: Multi-connectivity (MC) in satellite-terrestrial integrated networks (STINs), included in the Third-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standards, is regarded as a promising technology for future networks, especially the non-terrestrial network (NTN). The significant advantages of MC in improving coverage, communication, and sensing through satellite-terrestrial collaboration have sparked widespread interest. This article introduces three fundamental deployment architectures of MC systems in STINs, including multi-satellite, single-satellite single-base-station, and multi-satellite multi-base-station configurations. Considering the emerging but still evolving satellite networking, we explore system design challenges such as satellite networking schemes, such as cell-free and multi-tier satellite networks. Subsequently, key technical challenges severely influencing the quality of mutual communications, including beamforming, channel estimation, and synchronization, are discussed. Furthermore, typical applications such as coverage enhancement, traffic offloading, collaborative sensing, and low-altitude communication are demonstrated, followed by a case study comparing coverage performance in MC and single-connectivity (SC) configurations. Several essential future research directions for MC in STINs are presented to facilitate further exploration.
