description: Strong gravitational lensing of distant supernovae (SNe), particularly Type Ia's, has some exploitable properties not available when other sorts of cosmologically distant sources are lensed. One such property is that the ``standard candle'' nature of the SN at peak brightness allows a direct determination of the lensing magnification factor for each well observed image. Another is that the duration of an SN event is of the same order as the differential time delays between the various lens images. The comparable time scales of the photometric event and the time delay invite a variety of applications, including high precision measurements of the delay and the targeting of especially interesting phases of the explosion for intensive observation when they appear in trailing images. As an initial exploration of these possibilities we present calculations of SN lensing statistics in a ``concordance cosmology''. We emphasize magnification and time delay effects. Plausible SN surveys, such as the proposed SNAP space mission, would discover several to some tens of strongly lensed SNe Ia per year, and at least a few of these will be at redshifts well beyond those that would be accessible via unlensed events. The total number of such anomalously high redshift SNe Ia will be a useful test of high redshift star formation models. SN surveys of finite duration will, of course, miss the appearance of some images; we quantify this selection bias. Finally, we investigate how well the appearance of trailing images can be predicted based on various amounts of available information on the lensing event. Knowledge of the magnification factor for the leading image makes it possible to predict the appearance of a trailing image relatively accurately if the lens redshift is also known. (Abridged)

description: We revisit the problem of building consistent interactions for a multiplet of partially massless spin-2 fields in (anti-)de Sitter space. After rederiving and strengthening the existing no-go result on the impossibility of Yang-Mills type non-abelian deformations of the partially massless gauge algebra, we prove the uniqueness of the cubic interaction vertex and field-dependent gauge transformation that generalize the structures known from single-field analyses and in four spacetime dimensions, where our results also hold. Unlike in the case of one partially massless field, however, we show that for two or more particle species the cubic deformations can be made consistent at the complete non-linear level, albeit at the expense of allowing for negative relative signs between kinetic terms, making our new theory akin to conformal gravity. Our construction thus provides the first example of an interacting theory containing only partially massless fields.

description: The millions of bioactive compounds found within animal venoms are a veritable war chest of novel immunotherapeutics. Discoveries have resulted in six venom derived drugs currently approved by the FDA for diseases such as blood disorders and diabetes. Venom-derived compounds are known to be highly potent and highly selective for ion channels as well as other key biological pathways. To date only an infinitesimally small fraction of venom-derived compounds have been investigated for medical applications. The aim of this project was the systematic scan of a vast venom biorepository (over 300 different venoms; including 217 different spider venoms, 92 snake venoms, 33 cone snail venoms and 2 jellyfish venoms, and 21 venom peptides) to characterize novel venom-derived peptides with immunomodulatory function. Using resting and stimulated human leucocytes, we performed high throughput, multiplex scanning of venom activity using Cytometric Bead Array readout (CBA). During my doctorate, this experimental platform was optimized and used for venom and the venom fraction screening. The CBA scanning allowed the detection and quantification of nine different human cytokines/chemokines. [...]

Gravitational lenses magnify up to one third of the most distant quasars

description: Exceptionally bright quasars with redshifts up to z=6.28 have recently been discovered. Quasars are thought to be powered by the accretion of gas onto supermassive black holes at the centres of galaxies. Their maximum (Eddington) luminosity is proportional to the mass of the black hole, and so these bright quasars are inferred to have black holes with masses of more than a few billion solar masses. The existence of such massive black holes poses a challenge to models for the formation of structures in the early Universe, as it requires that the black holes would grow so massive in less than a billion years after the Big Bang. Here we show that up to a third of known quasars with z~6 will have their observed flux magnified by a factor of 10 or more through gravitational lensing by galaxies along the line of sight. The inferred abundance of quasar host galaxies, as well as the luminosity density provided by the quasars, are therefore substantially overestimated.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Atomic Physics (physics.atom-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The processes of electron excitation, capture, and ionization were investigated in proton collisions with atomic hydrogen in the initial $n=1$ and $n=2$ states at impact energies from 1 to 300 keV. The theoretical analysis is based on the close-coupling two-center basis generator method in the semiclassical approximation. Calculated cross sections are compared with previous results which include data obtained from classical-trajectory Monte Carlo, convergent close-coupling, and other two-center atomic orbital expansion approaches. There is an overall good agreement in the capture and excitation cross sections while there are some discrepancies in the ionization results at certain impact energies. These discrepancies in the present results can be partially understood through the use of a $1/n^{3}$ scaling model.

description: In this work, we derive a closed solution of the Shr$ \ddot{o} $dinger equation for Bohr Hamiltonien within the minimal length formalism. This formalism is inspired by Heisenberg algebra and a generlized uncertainty principle (GUP), applied to the geometrical collective Bohr- Mottelson model (BMM) of nuclei by means of deformed canonical commutation relation and the Pauli-Podolsky prescription. The problem is solved by means conjointly of asymptotic iteration method (AIM) and a quantum perturbation method (QPM) for transitional nuclei near the critical point symmetry Z(4) corresponding to phase transition from prolate to $γ$-rigid triaxial shape. A scaled Davidson potentiel is used as a restoring potential in order to get physical minimum. The agreement between the obtained theoretical results and the experimental data is very satisfactory.

description: We simulate the formation and evolution of the local galaxy population starting from initial conditions with a smoothed linear density field which matches that derived from the IRAS 1.2 Jy galaxy survey. Our simulations track the formation and evolution of all dark matter haloes more massive than 10e+11 solar masses out to a distance of 8000 km/s from the Milky Way. We implement prescriptions similar to those of Kauffmann et al. (1999) to follow the assembly and evolution of the galaxies within these haloes. We focus on two variants of the CDM cosmology: an LCDM and a tCDM model. Galaxy formation in each is adjusted to reproduce the I-band Tully-Fisher relation of Giovanelli et al. (1997). We compare the present-day luminosity functions, colours, morphology and spatial distribution of our simulated galaxies with those of the real local population, in particular with the Updated Zwicky Catalog, with the IRAS PSCz redshift survey, and with individual local clusters such as Coma, Virgo and Perseus. We also use the simulations to study the clustering bias between the dark matter and galaxies of differing type. Although some significant discrepancies remain, our simulations recover the observed intrinsic properties and the observed spatial distribution of local galaxies reasonably well. They can thus be used to calibrate methods which use the observed local galaxy population to estimate the cosmic density parameter or to draw conclusions about the mechanisms of galaxy formation. To facilitate such work, we publically release our z=0 galaxy catalogues, together with the underlying mass distribution.

title: Natural products and glial cell therapy for repairing the nervous system

description: The problem: In Australia, over 12,000 people live with a spinal cord injury (SCI) and at least one new case occurs every day. Currently, there is no effective treatment for SCI. Transplantation of olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs; the glial cells of the primary olfactory nervous system) is a promising therapy, in particular autologous transplantation. OECs exhibit unique properties which stimulate neuronal growth and axonal extension, including structural and neurotrophic/guidance support. OECs also function as immune cells and remove (phagocytose) cell debris from the injury site. Furthermore, OECs migrate across the injury site and provide support for regenerating axons. However, functional outcomes in both animal studies and human clinical trials vary greatly, and there are key obstacles in this therapy. These include insufficient cell proliferation rate (both prior to transplantation and after transplantation), cell migration rate and phagocytic activity. If these cell behaviours could be stimulated, the therapeutic potential of OECs would be significantly enhanced. Another important avenue for improvement is the development of novel three-dimensional (3D) cell constructs suitable for both pre-transplantation work (cell culture and drug screening) and for transplantation of OECs directly as a 3D structure into the nervous system injury site. In summary, this work has (1) identified three natural compounds with potential to promote favourable OEC behaviours relevant for neural repair, and (2) led to the development of a novel 3D culture system in which cells rapidly self-assemble without any added ingredients, applicable to a wide range of neural repair avenues. Thus far, the outcomes of this thesis have led to two patent applications, two first-author publications, three first-author manuscripts in submission/preparation, and 1 patent application in preparation, as well as contributing to four papers/manuscripts led by other researchers in the Clem Jones Centre for Neurobiology and Stem Cell Research. The future directions towards enhancing the outcomes of OEC transplantation will be based on the combination of the identified natural products and the developed NLM/NLMNB 3D cell culture methods.
Cosmological constraints from the masses and abundances of L* galaxies
Creators: name: Seljak, Uros
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We place limits on the mean density of the universe and the slope of the linear power spectrum around a megaparsec scale by comparing the universal mass function to the observed luminosity function. Numerical simulations suggest that the dark matter halo mass function at small scales depends only on Omega_m(n_eff+3) independent of the overall power spectrum normalization. Matching the halo abundance to the observed luminosity function requires knowing the relation between the virial mass and luminosity (separately for early and late type galaxies) and the fraction of galaxies that reside in larger halos such as groups and clusters, all of which can be extracted from the galaxy-galaxy lensing. We apply the recently derived values from SDSS and find Omega_m(n_eff+3)= (0.15 \pm 0.05)/(1-f_dh), where f_dh accounts for the possibility that some fraction of halos may be dark or without a bright central galaxy. A model with Omega_m=0.25 and primordial n=0.8 or with Omega_m=0.2 and n=1 agrees well with these constraints even in the absence of dark halos, although with the current data somewhat higher values for Omega_m and n are also acceptable.

subject: loading

description: Stratification of water in large reservoirs occurs in summer, or at anytime in hot climates where the water surface is exposed long-term to sunlight and the water surface is heated. Natural mixing will not occur due to the cooler and denser water always staying at the lower levels. Therefore, mechanical circulators are designed to prevent water quality problems related to stratification and depletion of dissolved oxygen. Impellers that produce the flow in mechanical circulators are available in different sizes and these impellers are designed to produce different flow rates. Due to hydraulic loadings, impellers have to be strong and durable. Loadings on impellers depend on their geometries and therefore, a durable impeller is a good combination of the use of correct materials and good geometry. Long and slender impellers are prone to failure when subjected to high hydrodynamic loadings. Nowadays, designers have very limited information on predicting the stresses on impellers and the deflection patterns of impellers because there are no design rules in designing these impeller blades and there is no such thing as "best geometry". A good impeller blade design is by guesswork and experience. In order to design the geometry that suits this application, trial-and-error finite element analyses have been conducted in this project to minimize stress levels on the blades. This research involves the use of finite element analysis (FEA) to predict stress and deflection of impeller blades used on large (5m diameter) ducted axial flow impellers as the first step in the design process. Then, based on the results, improvements have been done to the models until the final design was made. As far as the author has been able to determine, this has not been researched before. Finite Element Analysis has been used on wind turbine blades, rudders and hulls of boats but not on axial flow impeller blades of the type used in this project. For the purpose of this project, commercial finite element computer program packages STRAND6 and STRAND7 were used as the main analysis tools. A static line load increasing linearly with radius along the blade has been used to simulate the assumed hydrodynamic loading, and applied to all FEA blade models. The analysis results proved the stresses on blades are largely dependant on the blade geometry. From the analysis results, the author modified the stacking arrangement of the FEA elements in order to minimize both the tensile stresses and the displacements of the blades at the tip. Parametric studies have been done in order to obtain the best FEA impeller blade model.

description: We present estimates of the response to polarized signals by the PLANCK telescope. These estimates are based on a set of simulations, using a physical optics code (GRASP8), for linearly polarized detectors at different frequencies and located in different positions of an early design of the PLANCK focal plane. We show how the optical aberration introduced by the studied focal plane configuration affects absolute and relative orientation of the sky signals polarization planes. In addition, we compute the spurious signal introduced by the telescope optics into a PLANCK-type measurement of the sky polarization. Our analysis shows that the spurious polarization expected in a PLANCK-like experiment is typically of the order of 0.2 % of the unpolarized intensity.

description: Background: Arsenic compounds (As2O3 and As4O6) have demonstrated anticancer effects in various malignancies. In this study, the cytotoxicity of arsenic compounds on ovarian cancer cell lines and the anticancer activity of the combination of arsenic compounds and cisplatin IN chemoresistant ovarian cancer cells were investigated. Methods: We investigated the cytotoxicity of As2O3 and As4O6 and their combinations with cisplatin in the paclitaxel-sensitive ovarian cancer cell lines SKOV3ip1 and HeyA8 and paclitaxel-resistant ovarian cancer cell lines SKOV3TRip2 and HeyA8-MDR. Growth and apoptosis were evaluated by MTT assay and annexin V assay using flow cytometry, respectively. For detection of apoptotic cells, immunofluorescence was performed using a cleaved caspase-3 antibody. Cell-cycle distribution was determined by propidium iodide staining and flow cytometry. Results: Treatment of each cell line with As2O3 or As4O6 led to a marked dose-dependent inhibition of cell growth. As2O3 and As4O6 treatment induced caspase-3-dependent apoptosis in all cell lines compared to the respective control groups (p 2O3 and As4O6 induced apoptosis of paclitaxel-sensitive and -resistant cancer cell lines following G2/M cell cycle arrest (p 2O3 or As4O6 in the paclitaxel-resistant ovarian cancer cell lines. Conclusions: As2O3 and As4O6 can inhibit cell growth and induce apoptosis in paclitaxel-sensitive and -resistant ovarian cancer cell lines. Their combination with cisplatin resulted in a synergistic effect in paclitaxel-resistant cancer cell lines. These results suggest that arsenic compounds may be given in monotherapy or combination therapy with cisplatin for treating paclitaxel-resistant ovarian cancer.

description: The introduction of water quality monitoring systems (WQMSs) into the city wastewater discharging and recycling system has been considered as an effective practice to address the potential risks to wastewater plants as well as public concerns associated with pollution source localization. Under such background, a WQMS was developed and deployed in a large Australia Research Council (ARC) Linkage project entitled “A New Management System for Effective Wastewater Source Control” to meet the requirements of several major Australian water utilities. A WQMS was developed for this ARC Linkage project, which aims to monitor the wastewater quality in city wastewater pipelines to safeguard purified recycled water (PRW) system in water treatment companies. The developed WQMS contains both welldesigned hardware and reliable software and implements primary functions including data collection, data processing, event detection, alarming, a central server and web-based user interface (UI). To explore the potentials of existing event detection methods using in wastewater application environment, six widely used event detection methods in drinking and natural water area are evaluated, including Cumulative Sum (CUSUM), Linear Prediction, Moving Median, Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA), Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). The evaluation is performed on real datasets collected from 10 different pump stations with WQMS deployed. Referring to the results of the performance evaluation on some existing event detection methods, we designed and developed two methods according to the requirements of the practical application. The first modified Bayesian analysis method achieves good performance in testing, and it has been applied in deployed WQMSs and trialed for over four years without any significant issues. The second one is an ANN-based method with multiple classifiers integrated. It achieves excellent overall performance among ten testing sites although the high computational cost limits its practical value.

description: We present a comparison of the predictions of stellar models with the luminosity of the lower main sequence ($5.5 < M_V < 7.3$) using K dwarfs in the Hipparcos catalog. The parallaxes of our comparison stars are known to better than 15% and metallicities have been recently determined from photometry. A major advantage of our comparison is that distances in our sample are known with good accuracy, while tests that involve open and globular clusters are constrained by potentially inaccurate distances. We show that the luminosity of the lower main sequence relative to a fiducial (solar metallicity) isochrone is a simple function of metallicity: $ΔM_V = 0.84375 \times {\rm [ Fe/H]} - 0.04577$. We compare the data with a range of isochrones from the literature. None of the models fit all the data, although some models do clearly better than others. In particular, metal rich isochrones seem to be difficult to construct. The relationship between luminosity, colour and metallicity for K dwarfs is found to be very tight. We are thus able to derive metallicities for K dwarfs based on their position in the Hipparcos colour-magnitude diagram with accuracies better than 0.1 dex. The metallicity-luminosity relation for K dwarfs leads to a new distance indicator with a wide range of possible applications.

description: Quantum confinement profoundly affects the properties and interactions of electrons, holes, and excitons in nanomaterials. We apply first-principles calculations to study the effects of extreme quantum confinement on the electronic, excitonic, and radiative properties of atomically thin GaN quantum wells with a thickness of 1 to 4 atomic monolayers embedded in AlN. We determine the quasiparticle band gaps, exciton energies and wave functions, radiative lifetimes, and Mott critical densities as a function of well and barrier thickness. Our results show that quantum confinement in GaN monolayers increases the band gap up to 5.44 eV and the exciton binding energy up 215 meV, indicating the thermal stability of excitons at room temperature. Exciton radiative lifetimes range from 1 to 3 nanoseconds at room temperature, while the Mott critical density for exciton dissociation is approximately 10$^{13}$ cm$^{-2}$. The luminescence is transverse-electric polarized, which facilitates light extraction from c-plane heterostructures. We also introduce a simple approximate model for calculating the exciton radiative lifetime based on the free-carrier bimolecular radiative recombination coefficient and the exciton radius, which agrees well with our results obtained with the Bethe-Salpeter equation predictions. Our results demonstrate that atomically thin GaN quantum wells exhibit stable excitons at room temperature for potential applications in efficient light emitters in the deep ultraviolet, as well as room-temperature excitonic devices.

description: We present a study of the source positioning accuracy of the LECS and MECS instruments on-board BeppoSAX. From the analysis of a sample of archival images we find that a systematic error, which depends on the spacecraft roll angle and has an amplitude of ~17'' for the LECS and ~27'' for the MECS, affects the sky coordinates derived from both instruments. The error is due to a residual misalignment of the two instruments with respect to the spacecraft Z axis arisen from the presence of attitude inaccuracies in the observations used to calibrate the pointing direction of LECS and MECS optical axes. Analytical formulae to correct LECS and MECS sky coordinates are derived. After the coordinate correction the 90% confidence level error radii are 16'' and 17'' for LECS and MECS respectively, improving by a factor of ~2 the source location accuracy of the two instruments. The positioning accuracy improvement presented here can significantly enhance the follow-up studies at other wavelengths of the X-ray sources observed with LECS and MECS instruments.

Gravitational Lensing of the SDSS High-Redshift Quasars

description: We predict the effects of gravitational lensing on the color-selected flux-limited samples of z~4.3 and z>5.8 quasars, recently published by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Our main findings are: (i) The lensing probability should be 1-2 orders of magnitude higher than for conventional surveys. The expected fraction of multiply-imaged quasars is highly sensitive to redshift and the uncertain slope of the bright end of the luminosity function, beta_h. For beta_h=2.58 (3.43) we find that at z~4.3 and i*<20.0 the fraction is ~4% (13%) while at z~6 and z*<20.2 the fraction is ~7% (30%). (ii) The distribution of magnifications is heavily skewed; sources having the redshift and luminosity of the SDSS z>5.8 quasars acquire median magnifications of med(mu_obs)~1.1-1.3 and mean magnifications of ~5-50. Estimates of the quasar luminosity density at high redshift must therefore filter out gravitationally-lensed sources. (iii) The flux in the Gunn-Peterson trough of the highest redshift (z=6.28) quasar is known to be f_lambda<3 10^-19 erg/sec/cm^2/Angstrom. Should this quasar be multiply imaged, we estimate a 40% chance that light from the lens galaxy would have contaminated the same part of the quasar spectrum with a higher flux. Hence, spectroscopic studies of the epoch of reionization need to account for the possibility that a lens galaxy, which boosts the quasar flux, also contaminates the Gunn-Peterson trough. (iv) Microlensing by stars should result in ~1/3 of multiply imaged quasars in the z>5.8 catalog varying by more than 0.5 magnitudes over the next decade. The median equivalent width would be lowered by ~20% with respect to the intrinsic value due to differential magnification of the continuum and emission-line regions.

title: Chinese Contemporary Popular Culture: Postmodern Deconstruction of the Socialist Revolutionary Master Narrative

description: The concern of this thesis in postmodernity in China. It explores postmodernity in Chinese popular culture and by analysis it shows how popular culture texts challenge the meta-narrative of socialist revolution. Contemporary philosophical theories and perspectives are used to analyse a range of modern film and drama scripts, novels, and youth culture phenomena. This postmodern analysis of a diverse but nonetheless representative range of Chinese popular culture exposes Chinese popular culture's postmodern intent, that is, (in part), to challenge and interrogate the dominance of the conservative, 'modern', meta-narrative as it is most often encapsulated in China within the paradigm of 'socialist revolution'.

description: Dyslexia refers to difficulties with accurate and/or fluent reading, despite adequate cognitive ability and opportunity to learn to read. Dyslexia is a heterogenous disorder: multiple neurocognitive risk and protective factors interact to produce specific patterns of reading difficulties. There are two distinct groups of adults with Dyslexia: Accuracy-Improved and Persistently-Poor readers. Both groups have reading difficulties during childhood, and persistent fluency and phonological deficits in adulthood. However, while Accuracy-Improved readers achieve average single word reading and spelling skills by adulthood, Persistently-Poor readers show enduring word reading and spelling deficits. The reasons for these different reading outcomes among individuals with Dyslexia are not yet fully understood. There is evidence that visual attention difficulties may play an essential role in Dyslexia. Visual spatial attention is the set of neurocognitive mechanisms responsible for selecting information at certain locations in a visual scene (such as a portion of text) for detailed processing while filtering out other information. Two aspects of visual spatial attention have been implicated in reading and Dyslexia: attentional orienting, which refers to shifting the attentional focus from one location to another, and attentional focusing, which refers to expanding or contracting the breadth of the attended region. However, it is not yet fully understood how these attentional processes are impaired in Dyslexia, and how impairments contribute to specific patterns of reading difficulties. The overarching aim of the current thesis was to examine differences in visual spatial attention between Accuracy-Improved and Persistently-Poor readers. [...]
