description: Food protein and polysaccharide complex emulsions are safe carriers of hydrophobic drugs and nutrients. To improve oral bioavailability and therapeutic/healthy efficacy of hydrophobic drugs and nutrients, herein, protamine (PRO), a cationic cell-penetrating peptide, was introduced into protein and polysaccharide complex emulsion. The electrostatic complex of PRO and BSA–dextran conjugate (BD) produced by Maillard reaction was used as emulsifier to produce oil-in-water emulsion (@BD/PRO). The BSA molecules were crosslinked at the oil–water interface by a heat treatment and the PRO chains were simultaneously anchored in the interface. BD emulsion (@BD) without PRO was produced for comparation. Paclitaxel (PTX), a hydrophobic antineoplastic drug, was encapsulated in the emulsions with 99% loading efficiency and 6.4% loading capacity. The emulsions had long-term stability. The bioavailability and H22 tumor inhibition efficacy of PTX@BD/PRO were 40% and 70% higher than those of PTX@BD, respectively, after oral administration in the mice. More importantly, orally administrated PTX@BD/PRO had the same anti-tumor efficacy as intravenously injected commercial PTX injection. No abnormality was observed in the main organs of the mice after consecutive oral administration of PTX@BD/PRO. This study indicates that @BD/PRO is an excellent carrier of hydrophobic drugs/nutrients and is suitable for long-term oral administration.

description: Jurkat, an immortalized cell line derived from human leukemic T lymphocytes, has been employed as an excellent surrogate model of human primary T-cells for the advancement of T-cell biology and their applications in medicine. However, presumably due to its T-cell origin, Jurkat cells are very difficult to transfect. Thus, for the genetic modification of Jurkat cells, expensive and time-consuming viral vectors are normally required. Despite many previous efforts, non-viral vectors have not yet overcome the hurdles of low transfection efficiency and/or high toxicity in transfection of Jurkat cells. Here, we report that a simple addition of calcium ions (Ca2+) into culture media at optimal concentrations can enhance the efficiency of the polyplex-mediated transfection using poly(ethylene imine) (PEI) by up to 12-fold when compared to the polyplex-only control. We show that calcium enhances the association between polyplex and Jurkat, which is at least partially responsible for the increase in transmembrane delivery of polyplex and consequential enhancement in expression of transgene. Other cations, Mg2+ or Na+ did not show similar enhancement. Interestingly, addition of Ca2+ was rather detrimental for the transfection of lipoplex on Jurkat cells. Observation of significant enhancement in the transfection of non-viral vectors with a simple and physiologically relevant reagent like Ca2+ in the engineering of hard-to-transfect cells such as Jurkat warrants further investigation on similar strategies.

An Introduction to the Reserve Economy
Creators: name: Stroh, Timothy Robert
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis is an introductory exploration into the novel concept of a reserve economy. The reserve economy is a job guarantee programme that utilises worker co-operatives to emphasise work that is beneficial to the subjective wellbeing of the individual undertaking it. This would be a decentralised job guarantee model based on democratic participation to act as a social safety net, using local knowledge to serve local needs. The argument for wellbeing is based on a combination of normative claims, empirical claims from psychology, and claims from heterodox economic theory. Through the assertion that work can be a force for good in a person’s life, but some working conditions are detrimental to wellbeing, the hypothesis is developed that for individuals to escape employment that is damaging to their subjective health they must have alternative options available to them. Two potential options are discussed. The job guarantee is argued to be an effective policy to put people into work but would not necessarily be good at generating wellbeing in its workers, while worker co-operatives are seen to be an effective means for producing wellbeing, but due to free market constraints may not be accessible to everyone that could benefit from them. Thus, the two ideas, the job guarantee and worker co-operatives, are combined to propose the new job guarantee model of the reserve economy.

description: The relation between the star formation rate and the stellar mass of star-forming galaxies has been used to argue that major mergers cannot be the main driver of star formation. Here, we re-examine these arguments using the representative IMAGES-CDFS sample of star-forming galaxies at z=0.4-0.75, taking advantage of their previously established classification into pre-fusion, fusion, and relaxing galaxy mergers. Contrary to previous claims, we show there is no tension between the main sequence scatter and the average duration of the fusion star formation rate SFR peak. We confirm previous estimates of the fraction of SFR due to morphologically-selected galaxies (~23%) or the SFR enhancement due to major merger during the fusion phase (~10%). However, galaxy mergers are not instantaneous processes, which implies that the total fraction of the SFR associated to galaxies undergoing major mergers must account for the three merger phases. When doing so, galaxies involved in major mergers are found to represent 53-88% of the total SFR at z~0.6. The fraction of LIRGs in the fusion phase is found to be in agreement with the observed morphological fraction of LIRGs without disks and with the observed and expected major merger rates at z<1.5.

description: Within the framework of a general three-level problem, the dynamics of the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) spin is studied for the case of a special type of external driving consisting of a set of continuous fields with decreasing intensities. Such a set has been proposed for minimizing coherence losses. Each new driving field with smaller intensity is designed to protect against the fluctuations induced by the driving field at the preceding step with larger intensity. We show that indeed this particular type of external driving minimizes the loss of coherence, using purity and entropy as quantifiers for this purpose. As an illustration, we study the coherence loss of an NV spin due to a surrounding spin bath of $^{13}$C nuclei.

We envision that the proposed approaches may serve as a building block for all-passive time-reversal symmetry breaking with potential applications for future nonreciprocal systems and devices.

On the background of inhomogeneous chiral condensates, the Polyakov loop exhibits an in-phase spatial oscillation with the chiral condensates. We also analyze the heavy quark potential and show that the inhomogeneous Polyakov loop indicates the inhomogeneous confinement of heavy quarks.

description: Currently IPv6 is extremely popular with companies, organizations and Internet service providers (ISP) due to the limitations of IPv4. In order to prevent an abrupt change from IPv4 to IPv6, three mechanisms will be used to provide a smooth transition from IPv4 to IPv6 with minimum effect on the network. These mechanisms are Dual-Stack, Tunnel and Translation. This research will shed the light on IPv4 and IPv6 and assess the automatic and manual transition strategies of the IPv6 by comparing their performances in order to show how the transition strategy affects network behaviour. The experiment will be executed using OPNET Modeler that simulates a network containing a Wide Area Network (WAN), a Local Area Network (LAN), hosts and servers. The results will be presented in graphs and tables, with further explanation. The experiment will use different measurements such as throughput, latency (delay), queuing delay, and TCP delay.

description: The heating of electrons in collisionless magnetic reconnection is explored in particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations with non-zero guide fields so that electrons remain magnetized. In this regime electric fields parallel to B accelerate particles directly while those perpendicular to B do so through gradient-B and curvature drifts. The curvature drift drives parallel heating through Fermi reflection while the gradient B drift changes the perpendicular energy through betatron acceleration. We present simulations in which we evaluate each of these mechanisms in space and time in order to quantify their role in electron heating. For a case with a small guide field (20 % of the magnitude of the reconnecting component) the curvature drift is the dominant source of electron heating. However, for a larger guide field (equal to the magnitude of the reconnecting component) electron acceleration by the curvature drift is comparable to that of the parallel electric field. In both cases the heating by the gradient B drift is negligible in magnitude. Heating by the curvature-drift dominates in the outflow exhausts where bent field lines expand to relax their tension and is therefore distributed over a large area. In contrast, the parallel electric field is localized near X-lines. Acceleration by parallel electric fields may play a smaller role in large systems where the X-line occupies a vanishing fraction of the system. The curvature drift and the parallel electric field dominate the dynamics and drive parallel heating. A consequence is that the electron energy spectrum becomes extremely anisotropic at late time, which has important implications for quantifying the limits of electron acceleration due to synchrotron emission. An upper limit on electron energy gain that is substantially higher than earlier estimates is obtained by balancing reconnection drive with radiative loss.

description: Cross-correlation Doppler spectroscopy has demonstrated its exceptional efficiency for the precise measurement of stellar radial velocities. Over the last 50 years, from CORAVEL (1977) to ESPRESSO (2018), precision has increased by a factor of 3000. And now instrumental precision has reached the incredible level of 0.1 m/s: a level required to measure the mass of planets similar to our Earth. The quest for this level of precision and the stability required over several years has involved several stages: "the devil is in the details". These instrumental developments have produced (and continue to produce) superb results, whether in the field of exoplanets or asteroseismology, for example. Here are just a few of the results obtained by HARPS and ESPRESSO.

Comprehensive glycoproteome profiling of resting and thrombin-activated platelets
Creators: name: Chau, The Huong
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Platelets play central roles in the vascular and immune systems. Tissue injury promptly activates resting platelets, triggering release of granular proteins (releasate) that mediate injury-related response processes. Despite the documented importance of protein glycosylation in platelet biology, the platelet glycoproteome remains poorly defined. This thesis employs powerful glycomics and glycoproteomics methods to comprehensively and quantitatively map the N-glycoproteome of the lysate and releasate of resting and thrombin-activated platelets from healthy donors. Platelet lysates and releasates displayed profound N-glycome diversity rich in sialylated and core fucosylated complex-type N-glycans across both resting and activated conditions. The N-glycoproteomics data recapitulated and expanded on the glycomics-based findings by uncovering the protein carriers and sites of platelet N-glycans. Interestingly, the data also suggested that platelets exhibit subcellular-specific N-glycosylation featuring sialofucosylated complex-type N-glycans in the α-granules, paucimannosidic N-glycans in lysosomes and, surprisingly, oligomannosylation on the platelet surface. Finally, deep site-specific N-glycoprofiling of the α-granule-resident thrombospondin-1 revealed that this protein undergoes rapid release but only subtle N-glycan remodelling upon platelet activation. Taken together, this thesis has provided the, to date, most comprehensive N-glycoproteome profile of resting and activated platelets, which forms a valuable resource to further explore the fascinating platelet glycobiology in human health and disease.

description: Despite the fact that grouping behavior has been actively studied for over a century, the relative importance of the numerous proposed fitness benefits of grouping remain unclear. We use a digital model of evolving prey under simulated predation to directly explore the evolution of gregarious foraging behavior according to one such benefit, the "many eyes" hypothesis. According to this hypothesis, collective vigilance allows prey in large groups to detect predators more efficiently by making alarm signals or behavioral cues to each other, thereby allowing individuals within the group to spend more time foraging. Here, we find that collective vigilance is sufficient to select for gregarious foraging behavior as long there is not a direct cost for grouping (e.g., competition for limited food resources), even when controlling for confounding factors such as the dilution effect. Further, we explore the role of the genetic relatedness and reproductive strategy of the prey, and find that highly related groups of prey with a semelparous reproductive strategy are the most likely to evolve gregarious foraging behavior mediated by the benefit of vigilance. These findings, combined with earlier studies with evolving digital organisms, further sharpen our understanding of the factors favoring grouping behavior.

The early detection of this bacteria is essential for effective treatment due to its ability to form a protective biofilm once established. The bacteria coordinate the formation of this biofilm through the release of quorum sensing (QS) molecules. Detection of these QS molecules would lead to a faster detection of P. aeruginosa than current methods. In this Master’s thesis, electrochemistry at the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) is used as a new electroanalytic approach to detect two such QS molecules known to be actively used in QS by P. aeruginosa; 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4-quinolone (PQS) and its precursor 2-heptyl-4-quinolone (HHQ). This biphasic method does not depend on the redox activity of the QS molecules and avoids experimental complications due to the poor solubility of the hydrophobic QS molecules in aqueous media. Electrochemical monitoring was achieved through aqueous alkali metal ion and proton interfacial complexation with organic solubilised HHQ and PQS at a macro-sized (ca 1.53cm2 ) polarised water-1,2-dichloroethane interface. Using developed thermodynamic, analytical solutions to electrochemically induced liquid-liquid facilitated ion transfer, the proton:HHQ and proton:PQS binding stoichiometry’s were discovered to be 1:3 and 1:2, respectively, likely due to the relatively high concentrations of QS molecules employed. Miniaturisation of this analytical method to the microscale using borosilicate capillaries to house the aqueous phase yielded a proof-of-concept biosensor for QS small molecule detection which could be applied to a clinical setting with 1 μM detection levels. HHQ and PQS interfacial proton coordination was characterised at the micro-ITIES with proton:ligand stoichiometries of roughly 1:1, which correlated with the limit-of-linearity being reached as [proton]≈[ligand].

 Abstract Intravenous efgartigimod alfa (efgartigimod alfa-fcab; Vyvgart®), a first-in-class neonatal Fc receptor antagonist, is approved in several countries worldwide, including the USA and EU for the treatment of generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) in adults who are anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibody positive, and in Japan for the treatment of gMG regardless of antibody status. In the double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 ADAPT trial in patients with gMG, efgartigimod alfa significantly and rapidly reduced disease burden and improved muscle strength and quality of life compared with placebo. The clinical benefits of efgartigimod alfa were durable and reproducible. Furthermore, in an interim analysis of the ongoing open-label phase 3 ADAPT+ extension trial, efgartigimod alfa provided consistent clinically meaningful improvements in patients gMG. Efgartigimod alfa was generally well tolerated, with most adverse events being mild to moderate in severity.

description: We present a library of numerical models of cosmic-ray accelerating supernova remnants (SNRs) evolving through a homogeneous ambient medium. We analyse distributions of the different energy components and diffusive shock acceleration time-scales for the models in various conditions. The library comprises a variety of SNR evolutionary scenarios and is used to map remnants with sufficiently known properties. This mapping constrains the respective ambient medium properties and the acceleration efficiency. Employing the library, we derive the ambient medium density, ambient magnetic field strength and the cosmic-ray acceleration efficiency for models of Tycho and SN 1006 remnants and refine the ages of SNR 0509-67.5 and SNR 0519-69.0.

Vortices and vortex states in Rashba spin-orbit-coupled condensates

description: The Rashba spin-orbit coupling is equivalent to the finite Yang-Mills flux of a static SU(2) gauge field. It gives rise to the protected edge states in two-dimensional topological band-insulators, much like magnetic field yields the integer quantum Hall effect. An outstanding question is which collective topological behaviors of interacting particles are made possible by the Rashba spin-orbit coupling. Here we addresses one aspect of this question by exploring the Rashba SU(2) analogues of vortices in superconductors. Using the Landau-Ginzburg approach and conservation laws, we classify the prominent two-dimensional condensates of two- and three-component spin-orbit-coupled bosons, and characterize their vortex excitations. There are two prominent types of condensates that take advantage of the Rashba spin-orbit coupling. Their vortices exist in multiple flavors whose number is determined by the spin representation, and interact among themselves through logarithmic or linear potentials as a function of distance. The vortices that interact linearly exhibit confinement and asymptotic freedom similar to quarks in quantum chromodynamics. One of the two condensate types supports small metastable neutral quadruplets of vortices, and their tiles as metastable vortex lattices. Quantum melting of such vortex lattices could give rise to non-Abelian fractional topological insulators, SU(2) analogues of fractional quantum Hall states. The physical systems in which these states could exist are trapped two- and three-component bosonic ultra-cold atoms subjected to artificial gauge fields, as well as solid-state quantum wells made either from Kondo insulators such as SmB$_6$ or conventional topological insulators interfaced with conventional superconductors.

description: We study the problem of actuator and sensor placement in a linear advection partial differential equation (PDE). The problem is motivated by its application to actuator and sensor placement in building systems for the control and detection of a scalar quantity such as temperature and contaminants. We propose a gramian based approach to the problem of actuator and sensor placement. The special structure of the advection PDE is exploited to provide an explicit formula for the controllability and observability gramian in the form of a multiplication operator. The explicit formula for the gramian, as a function of actuator and sensor location, is used to provide test criteria for the suitability of a given sensor and actuator location. Furthermore, the solution obtained using gramian based criteria is interpreted in terms of the flow of the advective vector field. In particular, the almost everywhere stability property of the advective vector field is shown to play a crucial role in deciding the location of actuators and sensors. Simulation results are performed to support the main results of this paper.

description: This text analyses illegal emigration originating in the Algarve, during the Estado Novo (New State), in order to clarify: what relationship existed between this illegal migratory flow and other contemporary emigratory systems? Who were the illegal emigrants activating this system? What circumstances and motives explained these emigrants’ option? Analysis was made of data obtained in a documental corpus of 43 court cases dealt with at the courts of east south Portugal, for facts related to illegal emigration, in which 178 people were accused. In Estado Novo, there was increased control of illegal emigration by the border police of the corporatist regime, but the illegal emigrants filled the shortage of labour principally in Morocco and integrated the Portuguese-Spanish-Moroccan migratory system, which persisted alongside the transatlantic system. The restrictions introduced by the new Kingdom of Morocco and the emergence of the European migratory system contributed to transforming the «Moroccan» in the «Frenchman».
