description: We have developed a software library for chemical evolution simulations of galaxy formation under the simple stellar population (SSP) approximation. In this library, all of the necessary components concerning chemical evolution, such as initial mass functions, stellar lifetimes, yields from type II and Ia supernovae, asymptotic giant branch stars, and neutron star mergers, are compiled from the literature. Various models are pre-implemented in this library so that users can choose their favorite combination of models. Subroutines of this library return released energy and masses of individual elements depending on a given event type. Since the redistribution manner of these quantities depends on the implementation of users' simulation codes, this library leaves it up to the simulation code. As demonstrations, we carry out both one-zone, closed box simulations and three-dimensional simulations of a collapsing gas and dark matter system using this library. In these simulations, we can easily compare the impact of individual models on the chemical evolution of galaxies, just by changing the control flags and parameters of the library. Since this library only deals with the part of chemical evolution under the SSP approximation, any simulation codes that use the SSP approximation -- namely particle-base and mesh codes, as well as semi-analytical models -- can use it. This library is named "CELib" after the term "Chemical Evolution Library" and is made available to the community.

description: We obtain finite-temperature M2 black branes in 11-dimensional supergravity, in a $G_4$-flux background whose self-dual part approaches a solution of Cvetič, Gibbons, Lü, and Pope, based upon Stenzel's family of Ricci-flat Kähler deformed cones. Our solutions are asymptotically $AdS_4$ times a 7-dimensional Stiefel manifold $V_{5,2}$, and the branes are ``smeared'' to retain $SO(5)$ symmetry in the internal space. The solutions represent a mass deformation of the corresponding dual $CFT_3$, whose full description is at this time only partially-understood. We investigate the possibility of a confinement/de-confinement phase transition analogous to the $AdS_5 \times S^5$ case, and a possible Gregory-Laflamme type instability which could lead to polarised brane solutions which break $SO(5)$. We discuss possible consequences for AdS/CFT and the KKLT cosmological uplift mechanism.

description: EXor objects are young variables that show episodic variations of brightness commonly associated to enhanced accretion outbursts. With the aim of investigating the long-term photometric behaviour of a few EXor sources, we present here data from the archival plates of the Asiago Observatory, showing the Orion field where the three EXors V1118, V1143, and NY are located. A total of 484 plates were investigated, providing a total of more than 1000 magnitudes for the three stars, which cover a period of about 35 yrs between 1959 to 1993. We then compared our data with literature data. Apart from a newly discovered flare-up of V1118, we identify the same outbursts already known, but we provide two added values: (i) a long-term sampling of the quiescence phase; and (ii) repeated multi-colour observations (BVRI bands). The former allows us to give a reliable characterisation of the quiescence, which represents a unique reference for studies that will analyze future outbursts and the physical changes induced by these events. The latter is useful for confirming whether the intermittent increases of brightness are accretion-driven (as in the case of V1118), or extinction-driven (as in the case of V1143). Accordingly, doubts arise about the V1143 classification as a pure EXor object. Finally, although our plates do not separate NY Ori and the star very close to it, they indicate that this EXor did not undergo any major outbursts during our 40 yrs of monitoring.

description: The increasing number of spectra gathered by spectroscopic sky surveys and transiting exoplanet follow-up has pushed the community to develop automated tools for atmospheric stellar parameters determination. Here we present a novel approach that allows the measurement of temperature ($T_{\rm eff}$), metallicity ($[{\rm Fe}/{\rm H}]$) and gravity ($\log g$) within a few seconds and in a completely automated fashion. Rather than performing comparisons with spectral libraries, our technique is based on the determination of several cross-correlation functions (CCFs) obtained by including spectral features with different sensitivity to the photospheric parameters. We use literature stellar parameters of high signal-to-noise ($\textrm{SNR}$), high-resolution HARPS spectra of FGK Main Sequence stars to calibrate $T_{\rm eff}$, $[{\rm Fe}/{\rm H}]$ and $\log g$ as a function of CCFs parameters. Our technique is validated using low $\textrm{SNR}$ spectra obtained with the same instrument. For FGK stars we achieve a precision of $σ_{T_{\rm eff}} = 50$ K, $σ_{\log g} = 0.09~ \textrm{dex}$ and $σ_{\textrm{Fe}/\textrm{H}]} =0.035~ \textrm{dex}$ at $\textrm{SNR}=50 $, while the precision for observation with $\textrm{SNR} \gtrsim 100$ and the overall accuracy are constrained by the literature values used to calibrate the CCFs. Our approach can be easily extended to other instruments with similar spectral range and resolution, or to other spectral range and stars other than FGK dwarfs if a large sample of reference stars is available for the calibration. Additionally, we provide the mathematical formulation to convert synthetic equivalent widths to CCF parameters as an alternative to direct calibration. We have made our tool publicly available.

description: The broad-band X-ray observations of the youngest known galactic supernova remnant, G1.9+0.3, provide unique information about the particle acceleration at the early stages of evolution of supernova remnants. Based on the publicly available X-ray data obtained with the Chandra and NuSTAR satellites over two decades in energy, we derived the energy distribution of relativistic electrons under the assumption that detected X-rays are of entirely synchrotron origin. The acceleration of electrons was found to be an order of magnitude slower than the maximum rate provided by the shock acceleration in the nominal Bohm diffusion regime. We discuss the implications of this result in the context of contribution of SNRs to the Galactic Cosmic Rays at PeV energies.

description: A compact and accurate solution method is provided for problems whose infinite power series solution diverges and/or whose series coefficients are only known up to a finite order. The method only requires that either the power series solution or some truncation of the power series solution be available and that some asymptotic behavior of the solution is known away from the series' expansion point. Here, we formalize the method of asymptotic approximants that has found recent success in its application to thermodynamic virial series where only a few to (at most) a dozen series coefficients are typically known. We demonstrate how asymptotic approximants may be constructed using simple recurrence relations, obtained through the use of a few known rules of series manipulation. The result is an approximant that bridges two asymptotic regions of the unknown exact solution, while maintaining accuracy in-between. A general algorithm is provided to construct such approximants. To demonstrate the versatility of the method, approximants are constructed for three nonlinear problems relevant to mathematical physics: the Sakiadis boundary layer, the Blasius boundary layer, and the Flierl-Petviashvili monopole. The power series solution to each of these problems is underspecified since, in the absence of numerical simulation, one lower-order coefficient is not known; consequently, higher-order coefficients that depend recursively on this coefficient are also unknown. The constructed approximants are capable of predicting this unknown coefficient as well as other important properties inherent to each problem. The approximants lead to new benchmark values for the Sakiadis boundary layer and agree with recent numerical values for properties of the Blasius boundary layer and Flierl-Petviashvili monopole.
Coupled FEM-BEM techniques for 2D inverse wave scattering problems

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: In this thesis we consider an impenetrable cylindrical scatterer surrounded by a heterogeneous dielectric coating. We present a numerical scheme for reconstructing the refractive index of the heterogeneous medium using far field data. The numerical scheme is based only on the mild assumption that the inhomogeneous medium is contained inside a circular cylinder, and does not require axis-symmetry or other similar restrictions. Moreover, we only require the boundary of the scatterer to be piecewise smooth. We reformulate this inverse problem as a nonlinear equation, which we then solve using a regularised Newton-type solver. The key innovation is performing nonlinear function evaluations, which involve solving a forward scattering problem, using an effcient coupled finite-element/boundary element method (FEMBEM) for the heterogeneous Helmholtz equation, which ensures that the important radiation condition is incorporated exactly. We derive an analytic representation for the Fréchet derivative for the heterogeneous dielectric coated scatterer, which we effciently compute using a novel extension of the coupled FEM-BEM scheme. The scheme is then demonstrated by reconstructing challenging continuous and discontinous media from noisy far field data.

description: We report the first molecular line survey of Supernova 1987A in the millimetre wavelength range. In the ALMA 210--300 and 340--360 GHz spectra, we detected cold (20--170 K) CO, 28SiO, HCO+ and SO, with weaker lines of 29SiO from ejecta. This is the first identification of HCO+ and SO in a young supernova remnant. We find a dip in the J=6--5 and 5--4 SiO line profiles, suggesting that the ejecta morphology is likely elongated. The difference of the CO and SiO line profiles is consistent with hydrodynamic simulations, which show that Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities cause mixing of gas, with heavier elements much more disturbed, making more elongated structure. We obtained isotopologue ratios of 28SiO/29SiO>13, 28SiO/30SiO>14, and 12CO/13CO>21, with the most likely limits of 28SiO/29SiO>128, 28SiO/30SiO>189. Low 29Si and 30Si abundances in SN 1987A are consistent with nucleosynthesis models that show inefficient formation of neutron-rich isotopes in a low metallicity environment, such as the Large Magellanic Cloud. The deduced large mass of HCO+ (~5x10^-6 Msun) and small SiS mass (<6x10^-5 Msun) might be explained by some mixing of elements immediately after the explosion. The mixing might have caused some hydrogen from the envelope to sink into carbon and oxygen-rich zones after the explosion, enabling the formation of a substantial mass of HCO+. Oxygen atoms may have penetrated into silicon and sulphur zones, suppressing formation of SiS. Our ALMA observations open up a new window to investigate chemistry, dynamics and explosive-nucleosynthesis in supernovae.

description: Permeable pavement material can benefit urban environment. Here in this work, different aggregate sizes and mix proportions were used to manufacture pervious pavement concrete and investigate correlations among its properties. The porosity, permeability, compressive strength, inner structure, thermal conductivity, and abrasion resistance of the specimens were obtained. Results showed lower aggregate-to-cement ratios and higher water-to-cement ratios led to porosity reduction, which decreased the permeability coefficient but increased the compressive strength, thermal conductivity, and abrasion resistance of the pervious concrete. Compared to the mixes, the aggregate sizes affected the physical properties of pervious concrete less. However, the sizes of pores and cement in the pervious concrete were more affected by aggregate sizes than by mixes. Moreover, the porosity, permeability coefficient, and compressive strength of the pervious concrete can be correlated by the power law, whereas the correlation between the porosity and abrasion resistance index can be fitted by a linear law.

description: The performance of quantum algorithms for eigenvalue problems, such as computing Hamiltonian spectra, depends strongly on the overlap of the initial wavefunction and the target eigenvector. In a basis of Slater determinants, the representation of energy eigenstates of systems with $N$ strongly correlated electrons requires a number of determinants that scales exponentially with $N$. On classical processors, this restricts simulations to systems where $N$ is small. Here, we show that quantum computers can efficiently simulate strongly correlated molecular systems by directly encoding the dominant entanglement structure in the form of spin-coupled initial states. This avoids resorting to expensive classical or quantum state preparation heuristics and instead exploits symmetries in the wavefunction. We provide quantum circuits for deterministic preparation of a family of spin eigenfunctions with ${N \choose N/2}$ Slater determinants with depth $\mathcal{O}(N)$ and $\mathcal{O}(N^2)$ local gates. Their use as highly entangled initial states in quantum algorithms reduces the total runtime of quantum phase estimation and related fault-tolerant methods by orders of magnitude. Furthermore, we assess the application of spin-coupled wavefunctions as initial states for several heuristic quantum algorithms, namely the variational quantum eigensolver, adiabatic state preparation, and different versions of quantum subspace diagonalization (QSD) including QSD based on real-time-evolved states. We also propose a novel QSD algorithm that exploits states obtained through adaptive quantum eigensolvers. For all algorithms, we demonstrate that using spin-coupled initial states drastically reduces the quantum resources required to simulate strongly correlated ground and excited states. Our work provides a crucial component for enabling scalable quantum simulation of classically challenging electronic systems.

Sexual abuse against children by priests and religious: a study of factors that might lead to offence within the Catholic Church

Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022

description: This study identified a number of factors specific to the Catholic Church which might lead to the committing of sexual abuse against children by clergy and religious in Australia. Child sex offenders differ from the general population on a range of measures of psychopathology. The psychopathology of priest and religious child sex offenders is no different to that of offenders found in the general population. There were no observable differences between clergy, religious or nonreligious child sex offenders and the general population when a range of traditional environmental factors were examined. However, a number of factors specific to the Church environment in which clergy and religious operate were identified as contributing to the committing of child sex offences. Factors were identified through a review of the literature and a survey of Church personnel, victims and offenders. It is suggested the Church develop new standards and approaches covering the recruitment, formation and ongoing supervision of religious personnel. It must implement internal procedures for dealing with allegations of child sexual abuse as a response to public demands for a greater commitment to open and robust systems of accountability. The study provides a comprehensive framework upon which future researchers can build and suggests those key areas in which further research is warranted.

description: Metamaterials made of periodic collections of dielectric nanorods are considered theoretically. When quantum resonators are embedded within the nanorods, one obtains a quantum metamaterial, whose electromagnetic properties depend upon the state of the quantum resonators. The theoretical model predicts that when the resonators are pumped and reach the inversion regime, the quantum metamaterial exhibits an all-optical switchable conduction band. The phenomenon can be described by considering the pole stucture of the scattering matrix of the metamaterial.

The nature of the anxiety in children with selective mutism
Creators: name: Milić, Maria Ivanka
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Research demonstrates that children with selective mutism (SM) present with symptoms of social anxiety and there is a high comorbidity between SM and social phobia (SP). As a result some researchers have questioned whether SM is a variant of SP rather than a distinct anxiety disorder. This thesis sought to clarify the association between SM and SP. Participants were 25 children with a primary diagnosis of SM, 17 children with a primary diagnosis of SP and 15 children identified as “easy-going” who did not meet criteria for a DSM-IV diagnosis. Children were aged between 4 to 8 years. Data included mother, father, teacher and child reports, a semi-structured clinical interview with the child’s mother, and an observational assessment with the child and their mother. The first paper in the thesis reports on the development and psychometric properties of the child self-report measure of mutism, Selective Mutism Questionnaire – Child (SMQ-C). The SMQ-C was adapted from a similar adult measure and was designed for children aged from 4 years. The SMQ-C showed good internal consistency, convergent and divergent validity. Even young children were able to provide a clear picture of how much they spoke in various contexts. The second paper systematically compared children with SM, SP and non-clinical controls on social anxiety symptomatology and behavioural inhibition. Observational measures showed that children in the SM group were more verbally and nonverbally inhibited than children in the SP group and nonclinical controls, and parent report revealed that they were more fearful of negative evaluation than children in theSP group who did not differ significantly from non-clinical controls. These findings indicate that children with a primary diagnosis of SM show similar or even greater social phobia symptomatology than children with a primary diagnosis of SP and both are more socially anxious than non-clinical controls. The third paper explored relationships between social anxiety, parents’ negative affectivity, and parenting practices among children with SM, SP and controls. No significant differences in the levels of negative emotion or social phobia symptomatology among mothers and fathers were found between the three groups, nor did the study find any significant differences in parent-child interaction with one exception. Mothers and fathers of children with a primary diagnosis of SM reported more thoughts of frustration with their child’s reticence in a novel social situation. Correlational analyses showed a significant association between maternal social phobia and child anxiety in the SM and non-clinical groups. Overall, the findings support the idea postulated in the literature that SM is a more severe form of SP observed in younger children. Speech is the primary form of communication in all social interactions, the high social anxiety together with the spoken and unspoken pressures to speak contribute to maintenance of the disorder.

description: Background: Bronchiolitis is a viral infection that causes high morbidity in children. Several controversies regarding its definition and management, among other less-discussed aspects, led to growing conflicting evidence. We aimed to systematically gather and organize all available evidence regarding bronchiolitis following the evidence mapping methodology.
Methods: We will create an evidence map based on systematic reviews. We will search Epistemonikos to identify systematic reviews that included children under 24 months of age with bronchiolitis, lower respiratory tract infections, and wheeze. We will extend the search using ResearchRabbit, Elicit, and Citationchaser. A duplicate and independent process will be performed to select systematic reviews and extract data. We will assess quality using AMSTAR and AMSTAR-2. We will organize the data in spreadsheets to generate interactive visualizations.
Discussion: We aim to create a comprehensive and accessible evidence map. Considering bronchiolitis as a heterogeneous condition, our goal is to identify research gaps. The evidence map is a valuable tool for systematically organizing evidence on a broad topic.

Review on the minimally extended varying speed of light model

description: It has been known that dimensional constants such as $\hbar$, $c$, $G$, $e$, and $k$ are merely human constructs whose values and units vary depending on the chosen system of measurement. Therefore, the time variation of dimensional constants lacks operational significance due to their dependence on them. It is well-structured and represents a valid discussion. However, this fact only becomes a meaningful debate within the context of a static or present universe. As well-established theoretically and observationally, the current universe is undergoing accelerated expansion, wherein dimensional quantities, like the wavelength of light, also experience redshift phenomena elongating over cosmic time. In other words, in an expanding universe, dimensional quantities of physical parameters vary with cosmic time. From this perspective, there exists the possibility that dimensional constants, such as the speed of light, could vary with the expansion of the universe. In this review paper, we contemplate under what circumstances the speed of light may change or remain constant over cosmic time, and discuss the potential for distinguishing these cases observationally.

(2015) recently identified a radio counterpart to X9 (inferring a radio/X-ray luminosity ratio consistent with black hole LMXBs), and suggested that the donor star might be a white dwarf. We report simultaneous observations of X9 performed by Chandra, Nustar and Australia Telescope Compact Array. We find a clear 28.18$\pm$0.02 min periodic modulation in the Chandra data, which we identify as the orbital period, confirming this system as an ultracompact X-ray binary. Our X-ray spectral fitting provides evidence for photoionized gas having a high oxygen abundance in this system, which indicates a C/O white dwarf donor. We also identify reflection features in the hard X-ray spectrum, making X9 the faintest LMXB to show X-ray reflection. We detect a $\sim$ 6.8 day modulation in the X-ray brightness by a factor of 10, in archival Chandra, Swift, and Rosat data. The simultaneous radio/X-ray flux ratio is consistent with either a black hole primary or a neutron star primary, if the neutron star is a transitional millisecond pulsar. Considering the measured orbital period (with other evidence of a white dwarf donor), and the lack of transitional millisecond pulsar features in the X-ray light curve, we suggest that this could be the first ultracompact black hole X-ray binary identified in our Galaxy.

description: If no new physics signals are found, in the coming years, at the Large Hadron Collider Run-2, an increase in precision of the Higgs couplings measurements will shift the dicussion to the effects of higher order corrections. In Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) theories this may become the only tool to probe new physics. Extensions of the Standard Model (SM) with several scalar singlets may address several of its problems, namely to explain dark matter, the matter-antimatter asymmetry, or to improve the stability of the SM up to the Planck scale. In this work we propose a general framework to calculate one loop-corrections in BSM models with an arbitrary number of scalar singlets. We then apply our method to a real and to a complex scalar singlet models. We assess the importance of the one-loop radiative corrections first by computing them for a tree level mixing sum constraint, and then for the main Higgs production process $gg \to H$. We conclude that, for the currently allowed parameter space of these models, the corrections can be at most a few percent. Notably, a non-zero correction can survive when dark matter is present, in the SM-like limit of the Higgs couplings to other SM particles.

The emancipation paradox: a critical study of the Kantian tradition in political philosophy
Creators: name: Hebblewhite, William
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis argues that within Kantian and post-Kantian political philosophy, specifically in the work of Immanuel Kant, John Rawls, Jürgen Habermas and Rainer Forst, there is a problematic that I designate as the emancipation paradox. The Emancipation Paradox is understood as the failed attempts in the work of these philosophers to bridge the gap between universal moral claims about the equality of persons and the practical inequality of the political institutions that they develop. I begin by examining the work of Jacques Rancière who I argue has best explicated the issues of the emancipation paradox. Throughout Rancière's published work there is a continuing theme of locating with ancient and contemporary philosophy a problematic that arises over the equivocation between universal claims of the Human Being and particularistic practical conclusions. The main body of this thesis is the critical analysis of the work of Immanuel Kant, John Rawls, Jürgen Habermas and Rainer Forst. The critical analysis locates within each philosopher a focal point from which the paradox arises. In Kant it is the concept of 'Humanity', in Rawls it is the concept of the 'basic structure of society', in Habermas it is the method of 'Communicative Action' and in Forst it is the idea of 'Justification'. Each of these focal points is examined by seeing what "work" they do in the theory presented, and the assumptions that are made by its usage. I conclude the thesis by suggesting that our methods of inquiry need to pay more attention to the possible implicit conclusions that may appear in political philosophy's use of universalistic language.
Cosmological constraints with weak lensing peak counts and second-order statistics in a large-field survey

description: Peak statistics in weak lensing maps access the non-Gaussian information contained in the large-scale distribution of matter in the Universe. They are therefore a promising complement to two-point and higher-order statistics to constrain our cosmological models. To prepare for the high-precision data of next-generation surveys, we assess the constraining power of peak counts in a simulated Euclid-like survey on the cosmological parameters $Ω_\mathrm{m}$, $σ_8$, and $w_0^\mathrm{de}$. In particular, we study how the Camelus model--a fast stochastic algorithm for predicting peaks--can be applied to such large surveys. We measure the peak count abundance in a mock shear catalogue of ~5,000 sq. deg. using a multiscale mass map filtering technique. We then constrain the parameters of the mock survey using Camelus combined with approximate Bayesian computation (ABC). We find that peak statistics yield a tight but significantly biased constraint in the $σ_8$-$Ω_\mathrm{m}$ plane, indicating the need to better understand and control the model's systematics. We calibrate the model to remove the bias and compare results to those from the two-point correlation functions (2PCF) measured on the same field. In this case, we find the derived parameter $Σ_8=σ_8(Ω_\mathrm{m}/0.27)^α=0.76_{-0.03}^{+0.02}$ with $α=0.65$ for peaks, while for 2PCF the value is $Σ_8=0.76_{-0.01}^{+0.02}$ with $α=0.70$. We therefore see comparable constraining power between the two probes, and the offset of their $σ_8$-$Ω_\mathrm{m}$ degeneracy directions suggests that a combined analysis would yield tighter constraints than either measure alone. As expected, $w_0^\mathrm{de}$ cannot be well constrained without a tomographic analysis, but its degeneracy directions with the other two varied parameters are still clear for both peaks and 2PCF.

description: In this paper an explicit cosmological model which allows cosmological singularities are discussed. The generalized power-law and asymptotic expansions of the baro-tropic fluid index $ω$ and equivalently the deceleration parameter $q$, in terms of cosmic time $'t'$ are considered. Finally, the strength of the found singularities is discussed.

description: We observe the HMXB BP Cru using interferometry in the near-infrared K band with VLTI/GRAVITY. Continuum visibilities are at most partially resolved, consistent with the predicted size of the hypergiant. Differential visibility amplitude ($Δ|V| \sim 5\%$) and phase ($Δϕ\sim 2 °$) signatures are observed across the HeI $2.059 μ$m and Br$γ$ lines, the latter seen strongly in emission, unusual for the donor star's spectral type. For a baseline $B \sim 100$m, the differential phase RMS $\sim 0.2 °$ corresponds to an astrometric precision of $\sim 2 μ$as. A model-independent analysis in the marginally resolved limit of interferometry reveals asymmetric and extended emission with a strong wavelength dependence. We propose geometric models based on an extended and distorted wind and/or a high density gas stream, which has long been predicted to be present in this system. The observations show that optical interferometry is now able to resolve HMXBs at the spatial scale at which accretion takes place, and therefore probe the effects of the gravitational and radiation fields of the compact object on its environment.
