description: Asymptotic state of an open quantum system can undergo qualitative changes upon small variation of system parameters. We demonstrate it that such 'quantum bifurcations' can be appropriately defined and made visible as changes in the structure of the asymptotic density matrix. By using an $N$-boson open quantum dimer, we present quantum diagrams for the pitchfork and saddle-node bifurcations in the stationary case and visualize a period-doubling transition to chaos for the periodically modulated dimer. In the latter case, we also identify a specific bifurcation of purely quantum nature.

description: In this paper, we investigate the Gauss maps of a Ricci-mean curvature flow. A Ricci-mean curvature flow is a coupled equation of a mean curvature flow and a Ricci flow on the ambient manifold. Ruh and Vilms proved that the Gauss map of a minimal submanifold in a Euclidean space is a harmonic map, and Wang extended this result to a mean curvature flow in a Euclidean space by proving its Gauss maps satisfy the harmonic map heat flow equation. In this paper, we deduce the evolution equation for the Gauss maps of a Ricci-mean curvature flow, and as a direct corollary we prove that the Gauss maps of a Ricci-mean curvature flow satisfy the vertically harmonic map heat flow equation when the codimension of submanifolds is 1.

description: This thesis examines how, and to what extent, Geographical Information Systems (GIS)-based pedagogies and practices enhance the higher-order thinking skills of middle-school geography students. In doing so, it sought to investigate the influence of pedagogical orientation, ability level and specific instructional design approaches on GIS-based learning. The findings outline how to understand, document and interpret GIS-based pedagogical approaches that are most effective in improving student thinking and learning outcomes. The key design principles identified seek to change and improve the educational practice in this area and contribute to the body of researcharound GIS-based instructional frameworks. This thesis examined the key components of optimal GIS-based pedagogy for the classroom. This was achieved by investigating the effect of different pedagogies (direct instruction and guided discovery) on thinking performance at different levels. The study was conducted within the context of secondary geography education in New South Wales, Australia. The sample for the study consisted of students commencing Year 9 (9th Grade) at an independent boys’ school in Sydney. A design-based research framework was adopted as the overarching methodological approach, with mixed method techniques employed within three iterations to evaluate the effect of different interventions. A concurrent nested design was used, with the quantitative research approach being dominant and the qualitative research playing a complementary but important role. A 2 x 2 counterbalanced repeated measure design was applied to collect quantitative data, while openended survey questions and focus groups provided qualitative feedback from the participants. The outcomes indicate, firstly, that pedagogy did not emerge as a key factor influencing learning outcomes within the GIS-based units completed in the interventions. Secondly, middle-ability students were unable to develop their higher-order thinking skills, compared with those students of high ability, without the explicit introduction of different forms of multimedia scaffolding and teacher modelling. The final and important result of this research was that well-targeted and constructed multimedia-based scaffolds, as well teacher modelling, can assist middle-ability students to develop their higher-order thinking skills during GIS-based learning tasks. This outcome was achieved after careful consideration of student ability and appropriately designed scaffolding during the GIS-based activities administered during the study.

Constructing a Christian identity: a social network perspective on the discourse of almsgiving between 357 and 430 AD
Creators: name: Moffatt, Nicole
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: To the modern reader Christianity’s ascendency appears to have been a forgone conclusionby the fourth century. However its survival was still dependent on the creation and embedding of a distinctly Christian identity within Roman society. This paper considers ‘almsgiving’, with its origins in both Greco-Roman and Jewish cultures, as one facet in the construction of that emerging identity. A corpus of some thirteen hundred letters provides the outline of a network of Church leaders and Christian elite whose discourse on the form and function of a new ‘almsgiving’ traversed the Empire. Using network analysis, this study maps and analyses the flow of discourse and the structure which supported it. The research finds the network developed from a process of preferential attachment, whereby the larger the number of individuals a person corresponded with, the higher the probability that any newcomers to the network would be attracted to join it through them. This structure strongly influenced the speed and process by which information was diffused within the network. It provided the bishops with considerable power to promoting redemptive almsgiving over others forms, thereby supporting the continuation of the traditional patron/client relationship between rich and poor.
Secure Content-Based Routing Using Intel Software Guard Extensions

description: Content-based routing (CBR) is a powerful model that supports scalable asynchronous communication among large sets of geographically distributed nodes. Yet, preserving privacy represents a major limitation for the wide adoption of CBR, notably when the routers are located in public clouds. Indeed, a CBR router must see the content of the messages sent by data producers, as well as the filters (or subscriptions) registered by data consumers. This represents a major deterrent for companies for which data is a key asset, as for instance in the case of financial markets or to conduct sensitive business-to-business transactions. While there exists some techniques for privacy-preserving computation, they are either prohibitively slow or too limited to be usable in real systems. In this paper, we follow a different strategy by taking advantage of trusted hardware extensions that have just been introduced in off-the-shelf processors and provide a trusted execution environment. We exploit Intel's new software guard extensions (SGX) to implement a CBR engine in a secure enclave. Thanks to the hardware-based trusted execution environment (TEE), the compute-intensive CBR operations can operate on decrypted data shielded by the enclave and leverage efficient matching algorithms. Extensive experimental evaluation shows that SGX adds only limited overhead to insecure plaintext matching outside secure enclaves while providing much better performance and more powerful filtering capabilities than alternative software-only solutions. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first to demonstrate the practical benefits of SGX for privacy-preserving CBR.

We measured the linearity of the CCD detector of the SBIG STXL6303E camera, along with the associated gain and readout noise. The linear response to the incident light of the detector is extremely linear (R2 =99.99%), its effective gain is 1.65 +/- 0.01 e-/ADU and its readout noise is 12.2 e-. These values are in agreement with the manufacturer. We confirm that this detector is extremely precise to make measurements for astronomical purposes.

What is luck?
Creators: name: Thompson, Kramer Thomas
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The concept of luck plays an important role in philosophical projects in epistemology, ethics, and theory of action. But there is no generally accepted analysis of luck. The purpose of this thesis is to critically assess several popular accounts of luck. I focus on the probability, modal, control, and mixed accounts of luck. I first introduce the philosophical literature on luck and defend various extant accounts of luck from recent arguments by Steven Hales and Jennifer Lackey. I then argue that control accounts of luck fail in all their forms because they are incapable of producing plausible judgements in various cases. I go on to contend that the objective form of the probability account fails because it entails that no events in deterministic worlds are lucky, and that the subjective form fails because it gets cases wrong and cannot show how beings lacking relevant epistemic capacities can be the beneficiaries of luck. Finally, I argue that the standard modal account fails in cases where an event's luckiness is determined by a contrast with what does not happen. I propose a new modal account of luck which avoids this problem. I leave it open whether this modal account, or some suitable mixed account of luck, is preferable.

description: We consider charge transport properties in realistic, fabricable, Ferromagnet/Superconductor spin valves having a layered structure $F_1/N/F_2/S$, where $F_1$ and $F_2$ denote the ferromagnets, $S$ the superconductor, and $N$ the normal metal spacer usually inserted in actual devices. Our calculation is fully self-consistent, as required to ensure that conservation laws are satisfied. We include the effects of scattering at all the interfaces. We obtain results for the device conductance $G$, as a function of bias voltage, for all values of the angle $ϕ$ between the magnetizations of the $F_1$ and $F_2$ layers and a range of realistic values for the material and geometrical parameters in the sample. We discuss, in the context of our results for $G$, the relative influence of all parameters on the spin valve properties. We study also the spin current and the corresponding spin transfer torque in $F_1/F_2/S$ structures.

Kantian philosophy of history: teleology, anthropology and cosmopolitanism in “Idea for a universal history with a cosmopolitan aim” (1784)
Creators: name: Burnett, Brendan Paul
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis is a work in the history of philosophy and philosophy of history of Immanuel Kant. It provides a reading of Kant’s Idea for a Universal History witha Cosmopolitan Aim (1784) as a theoretical philosophical history which is intended to be practical. The thesis may be broken down into five parts. In the Introduction, the argument of the Idea essay is introduced and summarised. In Chapter One (Universal History), a definition of universal history as a theory of the natural teleology of human action is defended. In Chapter Two (Social Antagonism), the counterintuitive concept of unsociable sociability is explained as a mechanism for human development through conflict. In Chapter Three (Cosmopolitan Constitution), the concept of the civil constitution is explained as a step towards the cosmopolitan political order envisioned by Kant. In the Conclusion, the thesis is summarised and a brief philosophical evaluation of the Idea essay is proposed.

description: In the Standard Model of electroweak interactions and in the tree--approximation we calculate the rate and branching ratio of the neutron radiative beta decay with one-real photon emission by taking into account the contributions of the weak magnetism and proton recoil to order 1/m_p of the large proton mass m_p expansion. We find that the obtained contributions of the weak magnetism and proton recoil increase the rate and branching ratio of the neutron radiative beta decay by about 0.70%. This is large compared with the contribution of the weak magnetism and proton recoil of about 0.16% to the rate of the neutron beta decay, calculated in Phys. Rev. D88, 073002 (2013).

Behind every great man: the position of women as expressed through tomb design in Middle Kingdom, Middle Egypt
Creators: name: Johnston, Heather
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The purpose of this research is to analyse how women are incorporated into the decoration of Middle Kingdom tombs, and how this reflects their broader role in society. This has been done by focusing on the main elements of design within the tombs, at the neighbouring necropolises of Meir, Deir el-Bersha and Beni Hassan. Through analysis of the text, art and architectural features it is demonstrated that the representation of women in tombs was tied to that of the tomb owner, who were typically their husbands, fathers or sons. With few exceptions noble women have little independent representation within the broader decorative program; and women across the board only accounted for approximately 10% of human figures. Likewise women have a limited presence within the cultic focus of the tomb during the Middle Kingdom, namely on the false door or within the shrine. This is paralleled with developments in female titles during this period. Ultimately however, the design of the tomb reinforced the patriarchal social hierarchy. Although upper Egypt has some of the most extensive and well-preserved necropolises from the Middle Kingdom period, there has been limited research into the elite women of these sites; with only cursory investigations into their lives. More research is needed to fully understand how women were incorporated into tomb design.

description: This work presents theoretical demonstration of Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect in monolayer phosphorene nanorings (PNR). Atomistic quantum transport simulations of PNR are employed to investigate the impact of multiple modulation sources on the sample conductance. In presence of a perpendicular magnetic field, we find that the conductance of both armchair and zigzag PNR oscillate periodically in a low-energy window as a manifestation of the AB effect. Our numerical results have revealed a giant magnetoresistance (MR) in zigzag PNR (with a maximum magnitude approaching two thousand percent). It is attributed to the AB effect induced destructive interference phase in a wide energy range below the bottom of the second subband. We also demonstrate that PNR conductance is highly anisotropic, offering an additional way to modulate MR. The giant MR in PNR is maintained at room temperature in the presence of thermal broadening effect.

The use of humour in multicultural classrooms: a case study of teachers' and students' perceptions and practices from a university ELICOS centre

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis reports on an investigation into the employment of humour in multicultural classrooms, focusing teachers’ and students’ perceptions and practices. A mixed method approach was used. Participants included 7 teachers and 104 students from a university ELICOS centre in an Australian city. Data were collected through class observations, teacher interviews and student questionnaires. First, teachers’ practices of using humour, including the frequency of humour attempts and choices of different humour types, were obtained through class observations in which the researcher played the role of a non-participant observer. These teachers’ perceptions of the role of humour in teaching and their preferences for certain humour forms were investigated through the subsequent interviews. In general, all the teachers were of the view that engaging some humour in language teaching would probably bring about more benefits rather than disadvantages, however, they warned against the use of too much humour, which might distract students from their studying. They also claimed that certain types of humour should be avoided in the classrooms so as not to cause misunderstanding or make students feel offended. The questionnaires for students aimed to investigate the students’ perceptions of the humour-learning relationship as well as responses to their teachers’ humour usage in class, and to look for patterns in demographic data: gender and nationality. The findings show that the incorporation of humour in EFL teaching and learning was viewed positively by the teachers and students in this study. A classification of humour types including 4 main categories (related, unrelated, self-directed and other-directed humour) and 25 subcategories was inductively developed using the content analysis of the successful humour attempts by the teacher participants. Student gender and nationality were found to correlate with some aspects of their perceptions of humour as well as responses to their teachers’ humour usage: on average, females expressed more positive attitudes toward humour than males did, and non-Chinese students showed stronger agreement with the positive effects of humour on learning as well as preferring more frequent use of humour in teaching.

description: We device a new method to calculate a large number of Mellin moments of single scale quantities using the systems of differential and/or difference equations obtained by integration-by-parts identities between the corresponding Feynman integrals of loop corrections to physical quantities. These scalar quantities have a much simpler mathematical structure than the complete quantity. A sufficiently large set of moments may even allow the analytic reconstruction of the whole quantity considered, holding in case of first order factorizing systems. In any case, one may derive highly precise numerical representations in general using this method, which is otherwise completely analytic.

description: The Australian continent is composed of an assemblage of lithospheric blocks that can be broadly grouped into the Precambrian western and central cratonic zones and the Phanerozoic eastern province. The fusion of lithospheric domains, an active accretionary margin, and a sequence of subduction complexes throughout Australia's geological history have created a complex assemblage of lithospheric domains. In this thesis, I map the thermal, physical and compositional structure of this complex lithosphere and sub-lithospheric mantle using a well-developed multi-observable probabilistic inversion method (Afonso et al., 2013a,b).Geophysical observables used in this study include Rayleigh wave dispersion data, absolute elevation, geoid height, surface heat ﬂow, and a priori crustal information (e.g. Mohodepth, crustal layers, seismic velocity and density). These data sets are jointly inverted using a 1D column-by-column approach with a Bayesian framework, combining prior geophysical knowledge with measured data.The results from this research include estimates of depth to the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary, temperature variations and chemical structure in the lithosphere and sub-lithospheric mantle and temperature proﬁles beneath continental Australia.

description: The current evolution of AI, and of Generative AI in particular, namely Large Language Models (LLMs), makes it possible to adopt them as supporting tools for the engineering of information systems, in particular for their design and development. The goal of this tutorial is to instruct the attendees about AI and Generative AI and LLMs, with an IS engineering attitude, and then to focus on recent approaches and applications for their usage during the design and development of ISs. The concept of "low design" and assistant (a.k.a. "smart twin") is introduced as a possible evolution of IS engineering.

Here the slides of the tutorial given on the 5th of June 2024 at CAiSE 2024 in Limassol (Cyprus) are published (cf. https://cyprusconferences.org/caise2024/tutorials/ and https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/bbm:978-3-031-61057-8/1).

description: Human vision has different concentration on visual fields. Cortical magnification factor (CMF) is a popular measurement on visual acuity and cortex concentration. In order to achieve thorough measurement of CMF across the whole visual field, we propose a method to measure planar CMF upon retinotopic maps generated by pRF decoding, with help of our proposed methods: optimal transportation and topological smoothing. The optimal transportation re-calculates vertex location in retinotopic mapping, and topological smoothing guarantees topological conditions in retinotopic maps, which allow us to calculate planar CMF with the proposed 1-ring patch method. The pipeline was applied to the HCP 7T dataset, giving new planar results on CMF measurement across all 181 subjects, which illustrate novel concentration behavior on visual fields and their individual difference.

description: Metallic atomic junctions pose the ultimate limit to the scaling of electrical contacts. They serve as model systems to probe electrical and thermal transport down to the atomic level as well as quantum effects occurring in one-dimensional systems. Charge transport in atomic junctions has been studied intensively in the last two decades. However, heat transport remains poorly characterized because of significant experimental challenges. Specifically the combination of high sensitivity to small heat fluxes and the formation of stable atomic contacts has been a major hurdle for the development of this field. Here we report on the realization of heat transfer measurements through atomic junctions and analyze the thermal conductance of single atomic gold contacts at room temperature. Simultaneous measurements of charge and heat transport reveal the proportionality of electrical and thermal conductance, quantized with the respective conductance quanta. This constitutes an atomic scale verification of the well-known Wiedemann-Franz law. We anticipate that our findings will be a major advance in enabling the investigation of heat transport properties in molecular junctions, with meaningful implications towards the manipulation of heat at the nanoscale

The astronomy of the Kamilaroi and Euahlayi peoples and their neighbours

description: The Kamilaroi and Euahlayi people and their neighbours, the Ngemba and Murrawarri, are a large Australian Aboriginal cultural grouping located in the north central and northwest of New South Wales. They have a rich history in the literature on culture and language, but have been neglected when the cultural astronomy of Australian indigenous groups has been reported. This study examined the literature for detailed knowledge of the sky, and collected stories from Aboriginal people of these language groups who practise their culture. Combined, this knowledge was used to create a database to add to the larger body of knowledge on cultural astronomy in Australia. Specific detailed knowledge on the Emu in the Sky, and the use of star maps to teach travel to ceremony, was analysed and reported, along with the larger collection of knowledge, in journal articles that form the basis of this thesis by publication. The hypotheses that this cultural grouping has a rich cultural astronomy, and some of this knowledge was ethnoscientific in nature, were answered in the affirmative through an analysis of the collected data and stories. The results of this study point to a number of new areas of potential research in Aboriginal cultural astronomy.

description: We report the transverse relaxation rates 1/$T_2$'s of the $^{63}$Cu nuclear spin-echo envelope for double-layer high-$T_c$ cuprate superconductors HgBa$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{6+d}$ from underdoped to overdoped. The relaxation rate 1/$T_{2L}$ of the exponential function (Lorentzian component) shows a peak at 220$-$240 K in the underdoped ($T_c$ = 103 K) and the optimally doped ($T_c$ = 127 K) samples but no peak in the overdoped ($T_c$ = 93 K) sample. The enhancement in 1/$T_{2L}$ suggests development of the zero frequency components of local field fluctuations. Ultraslow fluctuations are hidden in the pseudogap states.

Geomorphic analysis of channel change and erosion processes contributing to avulsion in the Macquarie Marshes, Australia

description: Geomorphic processes such as erosion play a critical role in the development of existing river channels, as well as the formation of new channels by avulsion in multi-channelled systems. The Macquarie Marshes is an anastomosing and distributary system that supports extensive floodplain wetlands through overbank flooding and channel erosion poses a threat to these sensitive ecosystems. Four sites within the Southern Macquarie Marshes were investigated to identify the dominant patterns, processes and rates of erosion that contribute to channel change and to establish an evolutionary sequence of channel development. Channel incision and narrowing were the dominant processes measured together with knickpoint retreat at the three less mature sites, while channel widening and stabilisation were characteristic of the most mature site. Significant differences in channel morphometrics including width, depth and cross sectional area were found at the four sites using data from 2008 and 2014. The sites and their erosion processes fit into a geomorphic and evolutionary sequence: (1) knickpoint retreat and incision in a small swamp outflow channel (Buckiinguy); (2) incision and widening in a large swamp outflow channel (Willancorah); (3) minor incision and widening in the upper and lower reaches of a shallow, continuous marsh channel (Pillicawarrina); and(4) minimal erosion and channel stabilisation in a well-established, continuous marsh channel (The Breakaway). Bank strength is a key factor that contributes to erosion potential in the system, and sediment moisture content affects bank strength. Other factors (organic content, sand, silt and clay content, dry bulk density) have very weak relationships with bank strength. A trend was found where more mature sites have higher bank strength, probably related to the extent of past erosion. A conceptual geomorphic model shows how erosion affects the development and formation of new channels during avulsion, and the effects on longitudinal and lateral connectivity in systems like the Macquarie Marshes, by redistributing water and sediment within the wetlands. The formation of channels by erosion plays a critical role in the evolution of anastomosing and distributary systems.

description: The electronic structure of the cleaved perovskite (CH3NH3PbBr3) single crystal was studied in an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) system by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and inverse photoelectron spectroscopy (IPES). Highly reproducible dispersive features of the valence bands were observed with nice symmetry about the Brillouin zone center and boundaries. The largest dispersion width was found to be ~0.73 eV and ~0.98 eV along the ΓX and ΓM directions, respectively. The effective mass of the holes was estimated to be ~0.59 m0. The quality of the surface was verified by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The elemental composition was investigated by high resolution x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The experimental electronic structure shows a good agreement with the theoretical calculation.

description: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the underlying mechanism of the community climate on knowledge-sharing intention in virtual communities. Based on social cognitive theory, a theoretical model was developed and empirically tested using a web-based survey of 525 members from an online question and answer (Q&A) community in China. Results showed that knowledge-sharing self-efficacy and outcome expectation played a chain mediation role in the relationship between the community climate and knowledge-sharing intention. This study is among the first to examine whether and how community climate influences knowledge sharing. Our research findings unpack the mechanism of the community climate on knowledge-sharing intention, and provide practical insights on how to use community climate to facilitate users to share knowledge in online Q&A communities.

Year: 2017

description: The Minimum Weight Dominating Set (MWDS) problem is an important generalization of the Minimum Dominating Set (MDS) problem with extensive applications. This paper proposes a new local search algorithm for the MWDS problem, which is based on two new ideas. The first idea is a heuristic called two-level configuration checking (CC2), which is a new variant of a recent powerful configuration checking strategy (CC) for effectively avoiding the recent search paths. The second idea is a novel scoring function based on the frequency of being uncovered of vertices. Our algorithm is called CC2FS, according to the names of the two ideas. The experimental results show that, CC2FS performs much better than some state-of-the-art algorithms in terms of solution quality on a broad range of MWDS benchmarks.
