Re(dis)covering imperial biography and reconstructing Plutarch’s Life of Augustus
Creators: name: Drummond, Amanda Louise
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Plutarch’s series of imperial biographies, the Lives of the Caesars, have not often been well-regarded in past scholarship. To my mind, this is an unfair assessment. Unfortunately, what has survived of the series does not immediately serve to recommend it as a work of scholarly depth; the two Lives which are extant, the Galba and Otho, are naturally compared to Plutarch’s paired Greek and Roman Lives and are nearly always judged to be inferior, with regards to both content and style. It has been generally supposed that the seven lost βίοι from the Lives of the Caesars—theAugustus-Nero sequence and the Vitellius—were composed in a similar manner to the two which have survived. Yet this need not be—and indeed, probably was not—the case. Inasmuch as it concerns two separate, but inter-connected, problems, the following study has been undertaken in two halves. The first, comprising Chapters One to Three, re-examines—and in some respects, redefines—the memorial literature of the ancient world. A particular focus has been given to literature from the fifth century BCE to the second century CE, as it is this material which most shaped the tradition in which Plutarch (and Suetonius) wrote. The first chapter discusses the past and current scholarship that has been devoted to ancient biographical literature, with the intention of isolating areas that require further research or consideration; the second analyses the general shape and purpose of our extant biographical texts, as well as the various ways in which their readers—both immediate and future—received and interpreted their contents. The third chapter then focuses upon our two most prominent biographers from antiquity, Plutarch and Suetonius, providing an overview of their contexts and methodologies, before examining in detail their aims and the portrayal of character within their respective βίοι and vitae. The second half of the study, Chapters Four to Six, is devoted to a close analysis of Plutarch’s understanding of personality, and the methods by which he constructed (both consciously and unconsciously) character, or ἦθος,throughout his Lives. The application of personality theory to ancient biographical literature is discussed in the fourth chapter; this provides an overview of the development of the repertory grid technique, and its use in the behavioural sciences and other fields, before moving to determine how it may be suitably applied to Plutarch’s Lives. The fifth chapter examines the results of the analysis and their implications as regards Plutarch’s general methodology and the composition of his imperial βίοι. The sixth, and final, chapter combines the findings of the repertory grid study with those of a comparative literary analysis to reconstruct a possible framework for Plutarch’s Life of Augustus, which inaugurated the series.

description: Superfluid currents in the boson condensate with a source and sink of particles are modelled by the PT-symmetric Gross-Pitaevskii equation with a complex potential. We demonstrate the existence of through-flows of the condensate --- stationary states with the asymptotically nonvanishing flux. The through-flows come in two broad varieties determined by the form of their number density distribution. One variety is described by dip-like solutions featuring a localised density depression; the other one comprises hump-like structures with a density spike in their core. We exemplify each class by exact closed-form solutions. For a fixed set of parameters of the PT-symmetric potential, stationary through-flows form continuous families parametrized by the strength of the background flux. All hump-like and some dip-like members of the family are found to be stable. We show that the through-flows can be controlled by varying the gain-and-loss amplitude of the complex potential and that these amplitude variations may produce an anomalous response of the flux across the gain-loss interface.

description: Miniature, remotely powered and programmable neural stimulators were implanted on the sciatic nerve in nine pig hind limbs. An external dipole antenna was used to transmit power and waveforms to the implant at 915 MHz. For each placement location, external power was swept until motor threshold was achieved. Thresholds were determined via visual observation of muscle twitches in the lower leg. The external antenna was placed at several different distances from the implant and the threshold power was recorded as a function of the tissue thickness overlying the implant. Verification of the current was measured by: 1) optical recording electrodes and 2) Random validation using wired recording electrodes. Both methods recorded the current required to reach motor threshold. Results from these tests confirmed that wireless neural stimulation could effectively excite motor nerves remotely in up to 12 cm of soft tissue of a mixed medium. Propagation losses for this verification also agreed with simulation models. These measurements verified that ample current densities could be achieved at significant tissue depths and therefore, a wireless neural stimulator can be potentially be utilized in existing neural stimulation therapeutic treatments.

description: Surface modified Zn3 P2 nanowires samples using alkanedithiol groups with different alkyl chain length were tested for hydrogen production. 1, 3-PDT exhibits the highest hydrogen production rate as 7288 ± 204 umol/h/g, which is 4 and 63 times higher than 1, 4-BDT and 1, 12-DDT respectively. The distance between photogenerated sites on Zn3 P2 nanowires and top molecule of alkanedithiol groups affects hydrogen reduction activity. Hydrogen production rate depends on electron transfer rate and tunneling rate. Mechanism explained gives a comprehensive perspective on how to optimize the structure of the Zn3 P2 nanowires and maximize the hydrogen reduction activity
Distributed Detection Fusion in Clustered Sensor Networks over Multiple Access Fading Channels

description: In this paper, we tackle decision fusion for distributed detection in a randomly-deployed clustered wireless sensor networks (WSNs) operating over a non-ideal multiple access channels (MACs), i.e. considering Rayleigh fading, pathloss and additive noise. To mitigate fading, we propose the distributed equal gain transmit combining (dEGTC) and distributed maximum ratio transit combining (dMRTC). The first and second order statistics of the received signals were analytically computed via stochastic geometry tools. Then the distribution of the received signal over the MAC are approximated by Gaussian and log-normal distributions via moment matching. This enabled the derivation of moment matching optimal fusion rules (MOR)for both distributions. Moreover, suboptimal simpler fusion rules were also proposed, in which all the CHs data are equally weighed, which is termed moment matching equal gain fusion rule (MER). It is shown by simulations that increasing the number of clusters improve the performance. Moreover, MOR-Gaussian based algorithms are better under free-space propagation whereas their lognormal counterparts are more suited in the ground-reflection case. Also, the latter algorithms show better results in low SNR and SN numbers conditions. We have proved that the received power at the CH in MAC is proportional O(2R2) and to O(2ln2R) in the free-space propagation and the ground-reflection cases respectively, whereis SN deployment intensity and R is the cluster radius. This implies that having more clusters decreases the required transmission power for a given SNR at the receiver.

The Broken Trust: How Exploitative Leadership Damages Employee Work Passion
Creators: name: Bajaba, Saleh
Publisher: name: OSF Registries
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Business
subject: Organizational Behavior and Theory

description: This research examines exploitative leadership's impact on employee work passion, a critical factor for engagement, creativity, and productivity. Utilizing the social exchange theory, conservation of resources theory and a survey of 384 full-time workers, we investigate the mediating role of trust in leadership. Our results, derived from employing covariance-based structural equation modeling through SmartPLS, affirm the detrimental impact of exploitative leadership on work passion, highlighting the considerable mediating influence of trust in leader. This highlights the necessity of confronting exploitative leadership in policy design and fostering trust to boost work passion. This research not only offers insights for organizations, but also sets the stage for further studies on leadership styles, trust, and work passion.

Such a high level of astrometric precision can be expected with the end-of-mission standard errors to be achieved with the Gaia space satellite using global astrometry. We harness Gaia measurements of field angles and look at the influence of the number of reference stars and the star's magnitude as well as astrometric systematics on the total error budget with the help of Gaia-like simulations around the Ecliptic Pole in a differential astrometric scenario. We find that the systematic errors are modeled and reliably estimated to the $μ$as level even in fields with a modest number of 37 stars with G $

description: This study adopts the hedonic pricing model to examine empirically the impact of new rail transport connectivity on residential property premiums in different types of multifaceted urban subcentres. Using this approach, the aim of this study is to assess the context of location in the accessibility-property price premium relationship, which has been largely ignored in previous studies. The author will attempt to show the effect of public investment in rail on property values, while positive, is modified by the extent and variety of locational attributes, which has implications for value capture potential in polycentric urban environments.

description: Newspapers’ democratic functions have not been fully assumed by the media capturing the revenues newspapers used to enjoy. It is, therefore, important to understand the determinants of newspaper use. Earlier studies found age to be the principal determinant, but did not account for newspapers’ online editions. This article investigates to what extent digital distribution has disrupted previously observed cohort effects, bringing younger audiences back to newspaper content. The annual time spent with UK newspapers by their younger, middle-aged, and older British audiences was calculated for 1999/2000—before, or just after, newspapers started to go online—and for 2016, when digital distribution had come of age. The results show (1) the time spent with newspaper brands fell by 40 per cent, even as online platforms made access easier and cheaper; (2) the proportional decrease in time spent was greatest for the youngest age group and smallest for the oldest; and (3) there are important variations between individual newspaper brands, a result, we propose, of differences in their multiplatform strategies. Digital distribution has, therefore, had little impact on previously observed cohort effects but has enabled changes in media use that have shaped the attention given to newspapers and will continue to do so.
A Distributed Algorithm for Computing a Common Fixed Point of a Finite Family of Paracontractions

description: A distributed algorithm is described for finding a common fixed point of a family of m>1 nonlinear maps M_i : R^n -> R^n assuming that each map is a paracontraction and that at least one such common fixed point exists. The common fixed point is simultaneously computed by m agents assuming each agent i knows only M_i, the current estimates of the fixed point generated by its neighbors, and nothing more. Each agent recursively updates its estimate of a fixed point by utilizing the current estimates generated by each of its neighbors. Neighbor relations are characterized by a time-varying directed graph N(t). It is shown under suitably general conditions on N(t), that the algorithm causes all agents estimates to converge to the same common fixed point of the m nonlinear maps.

Potential for electric vehicle adoption in Australia

Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Transport is expected to become electrified in coming decades, bringing new challenges and opportunities for commuters and electricity distributors. This thesis presents analysis of Household Travel Survey (2014/15) and Journey to Work (2011) census datasets from the New South Wales (NSW) with the aim of : (i) investigating whether electric vehicles (EVs) could meet the daily commuting needs, and (ii) quantifying the potential impact of EVs on the electricity distribution grid as a function of location and time. It was found that 87% of commuter vehicle trips could be provided using affordable EVs and that the resulting electricity demand would increase by more than 10% in only 9 out of 35 local government areas (LGAs) in NSW, Australia. We also quantified the potential spatiotemporal electric energy available for vehicle-to-grid services. It was found that greenhouse gas emissions across NSW would reduce by 26% CO2 (eq) even if all EVs were recharged from non-renewable coal-fired power plants, due to greater efficiency of EVs. The results demonstrated the potential for wide-scale adoption of EVs in Australia. Lastly, to facilitate analysis and prediction of key variables, the travel data was modelled using regression trees (RTs) and artificial neural networks (ANNs).

Jet shapes allow us to study the modification of parton to jet fragmentation and virtuality, probing jet energy redistribution, intra-jet broadening or collimation and possible flavour hierarchy. Results of a selected set of jet shapes will be presented for $\mbox{p--Pb}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\scriptscriptstyle \rm NN}}= 5.02~\mathrm{TeV}$ and for $\mbox{Pb--Pb}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\scriptscriptstyle \rm NN}} = 2.76~\mathrm{TeV}$. Results are also compared with PYTHIA calculations and models that include in-medium energy loss.

Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: The development of plasmonic and metamaterial devices requires the research of high-performance materials, alternative to standard noble metals. Renewed as refractory stable compound for durable coatings, titanium nitride has been recently proposed as an efficient plasmonic material. Here, by using a first principles approach, we investigate the plasmon dispersion relations of TiN bulk and we predict the effect of pressure on its optoelectronic properties. Our results explain the main features of TiN in the visible range and prove a universal scaling law which relates its mechanical and plasmonic properties as a function of pressure. Finally, we address the formation and stability of surface-plasmon polaritons at different TiN/dielectric interfaces proposed by recent experiments. The unusual combination of plasmonics and refractory features paves the way for the realization of plasmonic devices able to work at conditions not sustainable by usual noble metals.

description: Electrical resistivity experiments show superconductivity at $T_c = 1.1\,$K in a high-quality single crystal of trigonal $γ$-PtBi$_2$, with an enhanced critical magnetic field $μ_0H_{c2}(0) \gtrsim 1.5\,$Tesla and a low critical current-density $J_c(0)\approx 40\,\mathrm{A}/\mathrm{cm}^2$ at $H=0$. Both $T_c$ and $H_{c2}(0)$ are the highest reported values for stoichiometric bulk samples at ambient pressure. We found a weak $H_{c2}$ anisotropy with $Γ=H_{c2}^{ab}/H_{c2}^{c} < 1$, which is unusual among superconductors. Under a magnetic field, the superconducting transition becomes broader and asymmetric. Along with the low critical currents, this observation suggests an inhomogeneous superconducting state. In fact, no trace of superconductivity is observed through field-cooling--zero-field-cooling magnetization experiments.

description: For genetic algorithms using a bit-string representation of length~$n$, the general recommendation is to take $1/n$ as mutation rate. In this work, we discuss whether this is really justified for multimodal functions. Taking jump functions and the $(1+1)$ evolutionary algorithm as the simplest example, we observe that larger mutation rates give significantly better runtimes. For the $\jump_{m,n}$ function, any mutation rate between $2/n$ and $m/n$ leads to a speed-up at least exponential in $m$ compared to the standard choice. The asymptotically best runtime, obtained from using the mutation rate $m/n$ and leading to a speed-up super-exponential in $m$, is very sensitive to small changes of the mutation rate. Any deviation by a small $(1 \pm \eps)$ factor leads to a slow-down exponential in $m$. Consequently, any fixed mutation rate gives strongly sub-optimal results for most jump functions. Building on this observation, we propose to use a random mutation rate $α/n$, where $α$ is chosen from a power-law distribution. We prove that the $(1+1)$ EA with this heavy-tailed mutation rate optimizes any $\jump_{m,n}$ function in a time that is only a small polynomial (in~$m$) factor above the one stemming from the optimal rate for this $m$. Our heavy-tailed mutation operator yields similar speed-ups (over the best known performance guarantees) for the vertex cover problem in bipartite graphs and the matching problem in general graphs. Following the example of fast simulated annealing, fast evolution strategies, and fast evolutionary programming, we propose to call genetic algorithms using a heavy-tailed mutation operator \emph{fast genetic algorithms}.
Opening old wounds: innovation in contemporary Australian crime narratives

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Opening Old Wounds: Innovation in Contemporary Crime Narratives -- This thesis examines three examples of innovation in recent Australian crime narratives that engage with prominent political and social justice issues. It focuses on how narratives are shaped and reworked as they move across media, recalibrating the relationship between the local and the global as they circulate in the broader "crime culture". The three case studies are situated within the astonishing growth and global popularity of Antipodean noir since 2016. The thesis argues that a combination of innovative storytelling techniques and engagement with social justice issues have revitalised Australian crime culture and contributed to the international enthusiasm for Antipodean noir crime narratives. The first case study explores Mystery Road, an open-ended long-form crime thriller by Indigenous filmmakers featuring Aboriginal Detective Jay Swan. Mystery Road began as a stand-alone film in 2013 and has since developed into an ongoing television series. The second case study examines Exposed: The Case of Keli Lane, a multiplatform true crime investigation by journalists who bring a feminist perspective to an old crime. Informed by the global #MeToo movement, Exposed: The Case of Keli Lane uses an open, participatory model of storytelling to recruit audiences into the investigation process, provide expertise to the core team and help reframe gender politics within the criminal justice system. The final case study examines how Jane Harper's international bestselling crime novel The Lost Man engages with worldwide discussions about domestic abuse and the criminalisation of coercive control in some countries. It explores how women's manifest civil, political and human rights in Australia have been undermined by new forms of psychological violence and intimate terrorism that have been allowed to flourish in the agribusiness sector.

The Yukawa couplings for generating the ordinary Majorana neutrino masses can partially convert the dark lepton asymmetry to an ordinary baryon asymmetry in association with the ordinary sphaleron processes. The dark neutron can have a determined mass to serve as a dark matter particle. By further imposing a proper mirror symmetry, the Majorana neutrino mass matrix can have a form of linear seesaw while its Dirac CP phase can provide a unique source for the required CP violation.

description: Light is the main factor affecting growth and macromolecular composition of microalgal cells, due to the effect of light on photosynthesis. It was studied how light affects photosynthesis, growth and macromolecular composition of Nannochloropsis oculata and Nannochloropsis oceanica, under changes in temperature, pH, inoculum size and, photoinhibition. The results of this research demonstrated that N. oculata and N. oceanica have great acclimation capability to changing light conditions for growth, which also depended on the environmental conditions studied. Optimum cultures conditions for growth and macromolecular composition were found, proving that the study of light is crucial to optimize microalgal cultures.

description: Galileo's support to the Copernican theory was decisive for the revolutionary astronomical discoveries he achieved in 1610. We trace the origins of Galileo's conversion to the Copernican theory, discussing in particular the "Dialogo de Cecco di Ronchitti da Bruzene in perpuosito de La Stella Nuova". Later developments of Galileo's works are briefly treated.

Cosmic rays, gas and dust in nearby anticentre clouds : I -- CO-to-H2 conversion factors and dust opacities

description: We aim to explore the capabilities of dust emission and rays for probing the properties of the interstellar medium in the nearby anti-centre region, using gamma-ray observations with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT), and the thermal dust optical depth inferred from Planck and IRAS observations. In particular, we aim at quantifying potential variations in cosmic-ray density and dust properties per gas nucleon across the different gas phases and different clouds, and at measuring the CO-to-H2 conversion factor, X$_{CO}$ , in different environments. We have separated six nearby anti-centre clouds that are coherent in velocities and distances, from the Galactic-disc background in HI 21-cm and $^{12}$CO 2.6-mm line emission. We have jointly modelled the gamma-ray intensity recorded between 0.4 and 100 GeV, and the dust optical depth at 353 GHz as a combination of HI-bright, CO-bright, and ionised gas components. The complementary information from dust emission and gamma rays was used to reveal the gas not seen, or poorly traced, by HI , free-free, and $^{12}$CO emissions, namely (i) the opaque HI and diffuse H$_2$ present in the Dark Neutral Medium at the atomic-molecular transition, and (ii) the dense H$_2$ to be added where $^{12}$CO lines saturate. The measured interstellar gamma-ray spectra support a uniform penetration of the cosmic rays with energies above a few GeV through the clouds. We find a gradual increase in grain opacity as the gas becomes more dense. The increase reaches a factor of four to six in the cold molecular regions that are well shielded from stellar radiation. Consequently, the X$_{CO}$ factor derived from dust is systematically larger by 30% to 130% than the gamma-ray estimate. We also evaluate the average gamma-ray X$_{CO}$ factorfor each cloud, and find that X$_{CO}$ tends to decrease from diffuse to more compact molecular clouds, as expected from theory.

description: Measurements of AC losses in a HTS-tape placed in between of two bulk magnetic shields of high permeability were performed by applying calorimetric techniques for various asymmetrical shielding arrangements. The experiment was supported by analytical calculations and finite-element simulations of the field and current distributions, based on the Bean model of the critical state. The simulated current and field profiles perfectly reproduce the analytic solutions known for certain shielding geometries. The evaluation of the consequent AC losses exhibits good agreement with measurements for the central position of the tape between the magnets but increasing discrepancy when the tape is approaching the shields. This can be explained by the increasing contribution of the eddy currents and magnetic hysteresis losses in the conducting shields.

description: From microscopic point-dipole model calculations of the screening of the Coulomb interaction in non-polar systems by polarizable atoms, it is known that screening strongly depends on dimensionality. For example, in one dimensional systems the short range interaction is screened, while the long range interaction is anti-screened. This anti-screening is also observed in some zero dimensional structures, i.e. molecular systems. By means of ab-initio calculations in conjunction with the random-phase approximation (RPA) within the FLAPW method we study screening of the Coulomb interaction in FexOy clusters. For completeness these results are compared with their bulk counterpart magnetite. It appears that the onsite Coulomb interaction is very well screened both in the clusters and bulk. On the other hand for the intersite Coulomb interaction the important observation is made that it is almost contant throughout the clusters, while for the bulk it is almost completely screened. More precisely and interestingly, in the clusters anti-screening is observed by means of ab-initio calculations.

description: The quantum-mechanical theory of the decay of unstable states is revisited. We show that the decay is non-exponential both in the short-time and long-time limits using a more physical definition of the decay rate than the one usually used. We report results of numerical studies based on Winter's model that may elucidate qualitative features of exponential and non-exponential decay more generally. The main exponential stage is related to the formation of a radiating state that maintains the shape of its wave function with exponentially diminishing normalization. We discuss situations where the radioactive decay displays several exponents. The transient stages between different regimes are typically accompanied by interference of various contributions and resulting oscillations in the decay curve. The decay curve can be fully oscillatory in a two-flavor generalization of Winter's model with some values of the parameters. We consider the implications of that result for models of the oscillations reported by GSI.

description: Controllable writing and deleting of nanoscale magnetic skyrmions are key requirements for their use as information carriers for next-generation memory and computing technologies. While several schemes have been proposed, they require complex fabrication techniques or precisely tailored electrical inputs, which limits their long-term scalability. Here we demonstrate an alternative approach for writing and deleting skyrmions using conventional electrical pulses within a simple, two-terminal wire geometry. X-ray microscopy experiments and micromagnetic simulations establish the observed skyrmion creation and annihilation as arising from Joule heating and Oersted field effects of the current pulses, respectively. The unique characteristics of these writing and deleting schemes, such as spatial and temporal selectivity, together with the simplicity of the 2-terminal device architecture, provide a flexible and scalable route to the viable applications of skyrmions.

description: The goal of this paper is to estimate the total variation distance between two general stochastic polynomials. As a consequence one obtains an invariance principle for such polynomials. This generalizes known results concerning the total variation distance between two multiple stochastic integrals on one hand, and invariance principles in Kolmogorov distance for multi-linear stochastic polynomials on the other hand. As an application we first discuss the asymptotic behavior of U-statistics associated to polynomial kernels. Moreover we also give an example of CLT associated to quadratic forms.
Role of higher -dimensional evolving wormholes in the formation of a big rip singularity

description: We study the evolutions of 4D universe on the M2-M5 BIon in the thermal background. The BIon consists of a D-brane and a parallel anti-D-brane which a wormhole connects them. When the branes and antibranes are far from each other and the brane's spike and the antibrane's spike are well separated, the wormhole cannot be built. However, when the branes and anti-branes are close to each other, a wormhole can be formed between them. Under this condition, there are many ways for flowing energy from transverse dimensions into our universe. This energy overcomes all other forms of energy, such as the gravitational repulsion and causes that our epoch is terminated at a Big-Rip singularity. We show that at this point, universe would be disappeared and one black M2-brane is formed. Finally, we examine our model against WMAP, Planck and BICEP2 experiments and get the ripping time. Comparing the model with experimental data, we obtain $N\simeq 50$ and $n_{s}\simeq 0.96$, where \emph{N} and $n_{s}$ are the number e-folds and the spectral index respectively. These results could be located in $0.01 < R_{Tensor-scalar} < 0.3$, where $R_{Tensor-scalar}$ is the tensor-scalar ratio. In this epoch, the Big Rip singularity happens in a finite time $t_{rip}=31(Gyr)$ for WMAP and Planck experimnts and $t_{rip}=28(Gyr)$ for BICEP2 experiment. By comparing this time with the time of the Big Rip in brane-antibrane, we observe that the wormhole in BIonic system causes that the destruction of the universe becomes faster.

description: In this paper we investigate the extent to which variable porosity drug-eluting coatings can provide better control over drug release than coatings where the porosity is constant throughout. In particular, we aim to establish the potential benefits of replacing a single-layer with a two-layer coating of identical total thickness and initial drug mass. In our study, what distinguishes the layers (other than their individual thickness and initial drug loading) is the underlying microstructure, and in particular the effective porosity and the tortuosity of the material. We consider the effect on the drug release profile of varying the initial distribution of drug, the relative thickness of the layers and the relative resistance to diffusion offered by each layer's composition. Our results indicate that the contrast in properties of the two layers can be used as a means of better controlling the release, and that the quantity of drug delivered in the early stages can be modulated by varying the distribution of drug across the layers. We conclude that microstructural and loading differences between multi-layer variable porosity coatings can be used to tune the properties of the coating materials to obtain the desired drug release profile for a given application.
