description: We report inelastic neutron scattering measurements of low energy ($\hbar ω< 10$ meV) magnetic excitations in the "11" system Fe$_{1+y}$Te$_{1-x}$Se$_{x}$. The spin correlations are two-dimensional (2D) in the superconducting samples at low temperature, but appear much more three-dimensional when the temperature rises well above $T_c \sim 15$ K, with a clear increase of the (dynamic) spin correlation length perpendicular to the Fe planes. The spontaneous change of dynamic spin correlations from 2D to 3D on warming is unexpected and cannot be naturally explained when only the spin degree of freedom is considered. Our results suggest that the low temperature physics in the "11" system, in particular the evolution of low energy spin excitations towards %better satisfying the nesting condition for mediating superconducting pairing, is driven by changes in orbital correlations.

description: Let $U_{FNA}$ be the class of all non-archimedean finite-dimensional Banach spaces. A non-archimedean Gurarii Banach space $G$ over a non-archimedean valued field $K$ is constructed, i.e. a non-archimedean Banach space $G$ of countable type which is of almost universal disposition for the class $U_{FNA}$. This means: for every isometry $g : X \to Y$ , where $Y \in U_{FNA}$ and $X$ is a subspace of $G$, and every $\varepsilon \in (0,1)$ there exists an $\varepsilon$-isometry $f : Y \to G$ such that $f(g(x)) = x$ for all $x \in X$. We show that all non-archimedean Banach spaces of almost universal disposition for the class $U_{FNA}$ are $\varepsilon$-isometric. Furthermore, all non-archimedean Banach spaces of almost universal disposition for the class $U_{FNA}$ are isometrically isomorphic if and only if $K$ is spherically complete and $\{|λ| : λ\in K \setminus \{0\} \} = (0,\infty)$.

description: We present transmission spectroscopy of the hot-Jupiter WASP-31b using FORS2 on the VLT during two primary transits. The observations cover a wavelength range of $\approx$400-840nm. The light curves are corrupted by significant systematics, but these were to first order invariant with wavelength and could be removed using a common-mode correction derived from the white light curves. We reach a precision in the transit depth of $\approx$140 ppm in 15 nm bins, although the precision varies significantly over the wavelength range. Our FORS2 observations confirm the cloud-deck previously inferred using HST/STIS. We also re-analyse the HST/STIS data using a Gaussian process model, finding excellent agreement with earlier measurements. We reproduce the Rayleigh scattering signature at short wavelengths ($\lesssim$5300 $Å$) and the cloud-deck at longer wavelengths. However, our FORS2 observations appear to rule out the large potassium feature previously detected using STIS, yet it is recovered from the HST/STIS data, although with reduced amplitude and significance ($\approx$2.5$σ$). The discrepancy between our results and the earlier STIS detection of potassium ($\approx$4.3$σ$) is either a result of telluric contamination of the ground-based observations, or an underestimate of the uncertainties for narrow-band features in HST/STIS when using linear basis models to account for the systematics. Our results further demonstrate the use of ground-based multi-object spectrographs for the study of exoplanet atmospheres, and highlight the need for caution in our interpretation of narrow-band features in low-resolution spectra of hot-Jupiters.

description: This study identifies the role of labour constraints in the use of rubber intercropping among smallholder farmers in Southwest China, drawing on a panel dataset collected from a sample of over 600 farm households in the Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture (XSBN). The analysis is based on two models: (i) a panel model to analyze the factors responsible for the decline in the use of rubber intercropping among smallholder farmers; (ii) an instrumental variable and endogenous switching model to assess the specific effects of off-farm labour market participation on the use of intercropping. We find a strong effect of the costs of labour on rubber intercropping. The decline in the use of intercropping has a potentially negative impact on environmental sustainability and endangers the government’s environmentally friendly rubber programme. The paper explores possibilities of how farmers can maintain intercropping under increasing labour constraints such as more engagement of elderly and female household members. This may require modifications in intercropping technologies and training. The paper recommends that the government should encourage the continuation of intercropping by a combination of well-balanced measures that include on-farm research, participatory farmer training, payment for environmental services, and effective monitoring.

description: Reaction of picolinamide (pca) with potassium tricyanomethanide (tcm) and copper(II) perchlorate in 1-propanol gave [Cu(pca)2(tcm)2] (1a and 1b) while addition of 2-(aminomethyl)pyridine (2-ampy) provided [Cu(pca)(2-ampy)(tcm)](ClO4) (2). These compounds have been characterized by IR, powder X-ray diffraction, single crystal X-ray diffraction, combustion analysis, and temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility. Compound 1a crystallized in the monoclinic space group C2/c whereas 1b and 2 crystallized in the triclinic space group Pī. In 1a, the copper complexes stack alternately with semi-coordinated tcm ions creating layers, further stabilized by hydrogen bonding to neighboring layers. In 1b, the tcm ions are coordinated to complete the octahedral coordination sphere around the copper ions and form staggered layers parallel to the ab face diagonal. In 2, stacks of copper complexes form bilayers, held together by hydrogen bonding between tcm ions and amino groups, parallel to the a axis. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility data were collected on 1 and 2 from 1.8–310 K. The data were fit to the Curie–Weiss law which showed no significant magnetic exchange as expected based upon the crystal structures [1 − Curie constant = 0.419(2) emu-K/mol-Oe, θ = −0.10(6)°; 2 – Curie constant = 0.438(1) emu-K/mol-Oe, θ = 0.05(3)°].

description: We argue that the acoustic damping of the matter power spectrum is not a generic feature of the kinetic decoupling of dark matter, but even the enhancement can be realized depending on the nature of the kinetic decoupling when compared to that in the standard cold dark matter model. We consider a model that exhibits a ${\it sudden}$ kinetic decoupling and investigate cosmological perturbations in the ${\it standard}$ cosmological background numerically in the model. We also give an analytic discussion in a simplified setup. Our results indicate that the nature of the kinetic decoupling could have a great impact on small scale density perturbations.

description: In this study, total phenolic and flavonoid contents, acute toxicity and the antinociceptive activity of Artemisia campestris and Artemisia herba-alba, individually and in combination, were investigated using multiple forms of pain in animals. Our results have been shown that plants are relatively safe without clinical signs of toxicity in animals. Thus, extracts were presented high levels in phenolic and flavonoid contents. Artemisia decoctions with 100, 200, 400 mg/kg b-w studied dose, clearly attenuate chemical and thermal noxious stimuli in writhing, formalin and hot-plate tests, and significantly reduced paw oedema in formalin test. Additionally, binary combination forms exhibited a great improvement in intensity and amplitude of antinociceptive activity in comparison with both plants used individually by a relative interference with opioid system. Our findings suggested the central and peripheral analgesic properties and confirmed the folkloric medicinal use of these plants in pain symptom treatment.

description: Simulation of interacting electron systems is one of the great challenges of modern quantum chemistry and solid state physics. Controllable quantum systems offer the opportunity to create artificial structures which mimic the system of interest. An interesting quantity to extract from these quantum simulations is the spectral function. We map a noisy quantum simulator onto a fermionic system and investigate the influence of decoherence on the simulation of the spectral density using a diagrammatic approach on Keldysh contour. We show that features stronger than the single-qubit decoherence rate can be resolved, while weaker features wash out. For small systems, we compare our Keldysh approach to master-equation calculations.

Planetesimal formation near the snowline: in or out?

description: The formation of planetesimals in protoplanetary disks is not well-understood. Streaming instability is a promising mechanism to directly form planetesimals from pebble-sized particles, provided a high enough solids-to-gas ratio. However, local enhancements of the solids-to-gas ratio are difficult to realize in a smooth disk, which motivates the consideration of special disk locations such as the snowline. In this article we investigate the viability of planetesimal formation by streaming instability near the snowline due to water diffusion and condensation. We adopt a viscous disk model, and numerically solve the transport equations for vapor and solids on a cylindrical, 1D grid. We take into account radial drift of solids, gas accretion on to the central star, and turbulent diffusion. We study the importance of the back-reaction of solids on the gas and of the radial variation of the mean molecular weight of the gas. We find that water diffusion and condensation can locally enhance the ice surface density by a factor 3--5 outside the snowline. Assuming that icy pebbles contain many micron-sized silicate grains that are released during evaporation, the enhancement is increased by another factor $\sim$$2$. In this `many-seeds' model, the solids-to-gas ratio interior to the snowline is enhanced as well, but not as much as just outside the snowline. In the context of a viscous disk, the diffusion-condensation mechanism is most effective for high values of the turbulence parameter $α$ ($10^{-3}$--$10^{-2}$). Therefore, assuming young disks are more vigorously turbulent than older disks, planetesimals near the snowline can form in an early stage of the disk. In highly turbulent disks, tens of Earth masses can be stored in an annulus outside the snowline, which can be identified with recent ALMA observations.

description: This thesis explores the factors that contribute to the success of Facebook and its Chinese counterpart, Renren, using social capital and political economy perspectives. Deploying meta-analysis and archival research from the perspective of both demand (users) and supply (owners) contributes to an understanding of their success in the US and China. It argues that the decline in social capital has been a factor in users migrating to online social networking (OSN) services but the reason for the global success of OSN is found primarily in its political economy where online platform owners make profits through the commodification of the users’ data.

description: Crystallographic alignment between two-dimensional crystals in van der Waals heterostructures brought a number of profound physical phenomena, including observation of Hofstadter butterfly and topological currents, and promising novel applications, such as resonant tunnelling transistors. Here, by probing the electronic density of states in graphene using graphene-hexagonal boron nitride tunnelling transistors, we demonstrate a structural transition of bilayer graphene from incommensurate twisted stacking state into a commensurate AB stacking due to a macroscopic graphene self-rotation. This structural transition is accompanied by a topological transition in the reciprocal space and by pseudospin texturing. The stacking transition is driven by van der Waals interaction energy of the two graphene layers and is thermally activated by unpinning the microscopic chemical adsorbents which are then removed by the self-cleaning of graphene.

description: Aims: To assess the frequency of biopsies and molecular diagnostic testing (human DNA/RNA analysis), anti-cancer drug use (genomically-matched targeted therapy [GMTT], unmatched targeted therapy [UTT], endocrine therapy [ET], and chemotherapy [CT]), and medical service costs among adults with metastatic cancer. Methods: Adults diagnosed with metastatic breast, non-small cell lung (NSCLC), colorectal, head and neck, ovarian, and uterine cancer (2010Q1–2015Q1) were identified in the OptumHealth Care Solutions claims database and followed from first metastatic diagnosis for ≥1 month and until the end of data availability. Utilization was assessed for each cancer cohort (all and patients aged ≥65 years); per-patient-per-month (PPPM) medical service costs were assessed for all patients. Testing frequency estimates were applied to Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program data to estimate the number of untested patients (2010–2014). Results: Patients with metastatic cancer (n = 8,193; breast [n = 3,414], NSCLC [n = 2,231], colorectal [n = 1,611], head and neck [n = 511], ovarian [n = 275], and uterine [n = 151]) were 63 years old (mean), with 11.1–22.2 months of observation. Biopsy and molecular diagnostic testing frequencies ranged from 7% (uterine) to 73% (ovarian), and from 34% (head and neck) to 52% (breast), respectively. Few were treated with GMTT (breast, 11%; NSCLC, 9%; colorectal, 6%). Treatment with UTT ranged from 0.7% (uterine) to 21% (colorectal). Biopsy, diagnostic testing, and anti-cancer drug therapy were less frequent for those ≥65 years. Medical service costs (PPPM, mean) ranged from $6,618 (head and neck) to $9,940 (ovarian). The estimated number of untested new patients with metastatic cancer was 636,369 (all) and 341,397 (≥65). Limitations: In addition to the limitations of claims analyses, diagnostic testing frequency may be under-estimated if patients underwent testing prior to study inclusion. Conclusions: The low frequency of molecular diagnostic testing suggests there are opportunities to better inform management of patients with advanced cancer, particularly decisions to treat with GMTT.

description: We introduce an ultra-sensitive interferometric protocol that combines weak value amplification (WVA) with traditional interferometry. This protocol WVA + interferometry uses weak value amplification of the relative delay between two paths to enhance interferometric sensitivity. As an example, we demonstrate a proof-of-principle experiment that achieves few-attosecond timing resolution (few nanometer path length resolution) with a double-slit interferometer using only common optical components. Since our example uses only the spatial shift of double-slit interference fringes, its precision is not limited by the timing resolution of the detectors, {but is instead limited by the fundamental shot noise associated with classical light and the diminished technical noise}. We experimentally demonstrate that the signal-to-noise ratio can be improved by one to two orders of magnitude relative to a measurement that does not use WVA. Two key conclusions are drawn: (i) Most conventional interferometric techniques primarily rely on determining the path difference (time delay or longitudinal phase), with their precision constrained by technical noise. Our protocol offers a robust solution for minimizing the technical noise in traditional interferometry, with precision in principle approaching the shot-noise limit. (ii) Although WVA has achieved significant advancements in ultra-sensitive longitudinal phase measurement, its applicability is constrained by the need for broad spectral bandwidths and high-resolution spectrometers. Contrary to previous assumptions, we demonstrate that quantum-limited WVA time delay measurements are achievable with narrowband light using real weak values.

description: This research documentation has been a response to a studio investigation of feminine sculptural forms that I have produced in the shape of empty dress, garment and gutted female hung torsos. I have produced a body of work that is intrinsically tied to my own feminine construction within contemporary society. During this documentation, I look at the discourses within society that have and continue to shape the feminine. I have discovered that despite many years of feminism women continue to judge themselves by an internalised perspective that has been shaped by and for the male gaze.My documentation aims to show that by reflecting upon the theories of post structural feminism I have been able to establish a strong feminine voice. This voice expresses itself through semiotic forms and installation sculpture. My primary focus has been to question why I make what I make, and what universal purpose my works serve. I have made (Seventy-Two Virgins) in paradise from tissue paper and pressed white plastic. I present these in a lyrical installation space that will speak of the dogma and powerful myths that have shaped patriarchal society.

description:  As a multi-purpose green network, greenways are important linear outdoor spaces to promote healthy living in urban areas. Well-planned greenways along with other open spaces connect homes, schools, and commercial centres and link other functional urban spaces together to produce a desirable urban form that increases market values, enhances storm water management, and improves the overall quality of residents’ lives. This paper takes the greenway system in the Charlotte metropolitan in the south-eastern United States as an example to analyse its planning and construction processes over the past four decades. In particular, this paper discusses and summarizes the implementation strategies of greenway development as a catalyst for sustainable development of urban form. These strategies are focused on multiple benefits of greenways in promoting urban development, optimizing urban spatial structure, promoting healthy urban living, and improving ecological functions in the built environment.
The place of lyric: ethics and aesthetics in Australian ecopoetics and propagules for drift and dispersal
Creators: name: Drummond, Willo
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This Master of Research thesis draws on the recent shift in the understanding of lyric in literary-ethical discourse to make a claim for lyric poetry as ethical ecopoetry. Representing Milech and Schilo's "research-question model" for the creative thesis, it asks: to what extent is it possible to maintain an ethical, eco-centric poetics whilst writing in the lyric mode? It then explores this question via two research pathways: critical inquiry, including textual analysis of the work of Australian poet Robert Adamson, and creative writing practice, in the form of a collection of lyric poems: Propagules for drift and dispersal. Although ecocriticism has roots in Romanticism, much discourse around ecopoetry - with its emphasis on ecocentrism and humility toward the non-human world - has come to hinge on a distancing from a ‘Romantic’, ‘ego-driven’ style of poetry, seen to be unethical. Such positions problematize lyric, given its strong association with both Romanticism and the formal centrality of the textual ‘I’. This thesis contends however, that lyric has become conflated with a reductive view of Romanticism and seeks to uncouple lyric from such views. Instead, framing lyric as a mode rather than a genre, and as performative, this thesis presents lyric poetry as an engaged type of ethical discourse which functions via reader answerability. Drawing on phenomenology, extended mind theory, and ‘innovative’ contemporary poetics, it concludes that the lyric can function as a decidedly ethical ecopoetry, via both its material and dialectic performativity: that indeed the “place” of lyric, can also be the place of the ecopoetic.

description: We study plasmonic excitations in the limit of few electrons, in one-atom thick sodium chains, and characterize them based on collectivity. We also compare the excitations to classical localised plasmon modes and find for the longitudinal mode a quantum-classical transition around 10 atoms. The transverse mode appears at much higher energies than predicted classically for all chain lengths. The electric field enhancement is also considered which is made possible by considering the effects of electron-phonon coupling on the broadening of the electronic spectra. Large field enhancements are possible on the molecular level allowing us to consider the validity of using molecules as the ultimate small size limit of plasmonic antennas. Additionally, we consider the case of a dimer system of two sodium chains, where the gap can be considered as a picocavity, and we analyse the charge-transfer states and their dependence on the gap size as well as chain size. Our results and methods are useful for understanding and developing ultra-small, tunable and novel plasmonic devices that utilise quantum effects that could have applications in quantum optics, quantum metamaterials, cavity-quantum electrodynamics and controlling chemical reactions, as well as deepening our understanding of localised plasmons in low dimensional molecular systems.

description: Noise rates in quantum computing experiments have dropped dramatically, but reliable qubits remain precious. Fault-tolerance schemes with minimal qubit overhead are therefore essential. We introduce fault-tolerant error-correction procedures that use only two ancilla qubits. The procedures are based on adding "flags" to catch the faults that can lead to correlated errors on the data. They work for various distance-three codes. In particular, our scheme allows one to test the [[5,1,3]] code, the smallest error-correcting code, using only seven qubits total. Our techniques also apply to the [[7,1,3]] and [[15,7,3]] Hamming codes, thus allowing to protect seven encoded qubits on a device with only 17 physical qubits.

description: This thesis investigates social competence and social information processing in children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). The aims of this thesis were threefold: 1) to investigate day to day social competence in children with NF1 (Paper 1), 2) to better understand facial emotion recognition abilities in children with NF1 (Paper 2) and 3) to explore face perception and attention to faces in children with NF1 (Papers 2 and 3). In relation to the first aim, the results of Paper 1 indicated that, as a group, children with NF1 displayed significantly poorer day to day social competence than their typically developing peers. Children with NF1 who displayed high levels of autistic symptomatology and socially anxious behaviour were particularly at risk of social competence problems. Pertaining to the second aim, the findings of Paper 2 suggested that children with NF1 displayed poorer recognition of threatening emotions, but not non-threatening emotions, compared to typically developing children. Children with NF1 displayed particular deficits in identifying fear, but also had difficulty identifying anger. Facial emotion recognition problems were not significantly related to the manner in which children with NF1 viewed faces or their ability to perceive and discriminate between faces, although a non-significant trend was observed whereby poorer face perception skills were associated with reduced proficiency in identifying anger. In relation to the third aim, results suggested that children with NF1 spent less time attending to faces than typically developing children both when presented in isolation (Paper 2) and when presented in the context of a static social scene (Paper 3). As a group, children with NF1 also displayed significantly poorer face perception abilities than typically developing children (Papers 2 and 3). Taken together, these findings indicate that children with NF1 are at significant risk of day to day social competence problems. Moreover, findings indicate that impairments in perceiving, interpreting, and attending to information from faces may be important aspects of the social-cognitive phenotype of NF1.
Detection of diffuse gamma-ray emission near the young massive cluster NGC 3603

description: We report the Fermi Large Area Telescope's detection of extended gamma-ray emission towards the direction of the young massive star cluster NGC 3603. The emission shows a hard spectrum with a photon index of 2.3 from 1 GeV to 250 GeV. The large size and high luminosity of this structure make it unlikely a pulsar wind nebular. On the other hand the spatial correlation with the ionised gas indicate a hadronic origin. The total cosmic ray (CR) protons energy are estimated to be of the order $10^{50} ~\rm erg$ assuming the gamma-ray are produced in the interaction of CRs with ambient gas . The environment and spectral features show significant similarity with the Cygnus cocoon. It reveals that the young star clusters may be a gamma-ray source population and they can potentially accelerate a significant fraction of the Galactic cosmic rays.

description: Once upon a time, PIDs were meant to be in data and software citations to give credit, solve the reproducibility crisis and enable reuse. And they lived happily ever after - OR did they?
 Despite their great potential, PIDs for data and software citations are not adopted yet into common practice. Instead, social, technical, and policy issues complicate the tracking of data and software usage in scholarly publications. The FORCE 11 Software Citation Implementation Working Group recently proposed six software citation principles in order to standardize citation practices. This is certainly a twisting point in this modern PID drama, which outcome however still remains open.
 Investigations of citations to Zenodo data and software objects that were captured by the implementation of the Asclepias Broker in Zenodo highlight the dark side of PIDs in data and software citations. Current citation practices and recommendations do not match proposed citation standards at all and there is more than one obstacle to overcome. Will darkness overpower the PID landscape or is there still hope for a happy ending?

A dearth of short-period massive binaries in the young massive star forming region M17: Evidence for a large orbital separation at birth?

description: The formation of massive stars remains poorly understood and little is known about their birth multiplicity properties. Here, we investigate the strikingly low radial-velocity dispersion measured for a sample of 11 massive pre- and near-main-sequence stars (sigma_rv = 5.6 +/- 0.2 km/s) in the young massive star forming region M17 to obtain first constraints on the multiplicity properties of young massive stellar objects. Methods: We compute the RV dispersion of synthetic populations of massive stars for various multiplicity properties and we compare the simulated sigma_rv distributions to the observed value. We specifically investigate two scenarios: a low binary fraction and a dearth of short-period binary systems. Results: Simulated populations with low binary fractions (f_bin = 0.12_{-0.09}^{+0.16}) or with truncated period distributions (P_cutoff > 9 months) are able to reproduce the low sigma_rv observed within their 68%-confidence intervals. Parent populations with f_bin > 0.42 or P_cutoff < 47 d can however be rejected at the 5%-significance level. Both constraints are contrast with the high binary fraction and plethora of short-period systems found in few Myr-old, OB-type populations. To explain the difference, the first scenario requires a variation of the outcome of the massive star formation process. In the the second scenario, compact binaries must form later on, and the cut-off period may be related to physical length-scales representative of the bloated pre-main-sequence stellar radii or of their accretion disks. Conclusions: If the obtained constraints are representative of the overall properties of massive young stellar objects, our results may provide support to a formation process in which binaries are initially formed at larger separations, then harden or migrate to produce the typical (untruncated) power-law period distribution observed in few Myr-old OB binaries.

Predictive text: the future of narrative fiction
Creators: name: Sillence, Don
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis examines the current state and future prospects of the historical formation commonly known as ‘the novel’, a particular expression of literature that formed around, and was fuelled by, a certain experience of literacy. Given that the concept of literature as a category is tendentious and intricately interrelated with other forms of media and diverse cultural practices, a broader category of ‘narrative fiction’ needs to be imposed. Predictably, the traditional novel then appears archaic and subsumed. From the point of view of an imagined future, this contention is key to understanding ongoing developments in literary representation. At the same time, it is notably irrelevant without an accompanying argument about the future of literacy. This thesis therefore posits both: that to understand the future of literature it is necessary to ask questions about the future of literacy, and vice-versa. As an organising principle, these questions are explored through three mostly separate or separated approaches to predictive knowledge about the future, presented as speculative, prospective and theoretical. The first, speculative, takes its arguments from the novel, spiralling outwards from otherwise straightforward questions such as ‘how?’, ‘why?’ and ‘what if…?’ In doing so, it moves from a historical view to a technological one, then to more fictional aspects and finally to an assemblage, a superposition, where potential outcomes are put together and summed up. The second, prospective approach endeavours to measure the size and shape of the issue, concerning itself with reading, literacy and publishing statistics. Drawing on these multiple avenues of inquiry, the thesis thus illustrates certain fundamental problems that the future must face. The final section, theoretical, draws conclusions from its interrogation of longstanding theoretical critiques: critical literacy, commitment and antinomy. These, in contrast, reduce the scope of what must be considered, allowing the thesis to reach some kind of determination. This unconventional approach is balanced, it is hoped, by its respectful recognition of an extensive tradition of similar questions being posed in different ways. What is novel about this thesis is that it seeks to provide synoptic answers to these questions at a moment in history, after the development of the internet, when a technological shift is likely to provide not only a new context for those answers but an intensified transcultural urgency to our human need to represent, communicate and connect.
A Modularity Bug in Java 8

description: We demonstrate a modularity bug in the interface system of Java 8 on the practical example of a textbook design of a modular interface for vector spaces. Our example originates in our teaching of modular object-oriented design in Java 8 to undergraduate students, simply following standard programming practices and mathematical definitions. The bug shows up as a compilation error and should be fixed with a language extension due to the importance of best practices (design fidelity).
No evidence for anisotropy in galaxy spin directions

description: Modern cosmology rests on the cosmological principle, that on large enough scales the Universe is both homogeneous and isotropic. A corollary is that galaxies' spin vectors should be isotropically distributed on the sky. This has been challenged by multiple authors for over a decade, with claims to have detected a statistically significant dipole pattern of spins. We collect all publicly available datasets with spin classifications (binary Z-wise/S-wise), and analyse them for large-angle anisotropies ($\ell \le 2$). We perform each inference in both a Bayesian and frequentist fashion, the former establishing posterior probabilities on the multipole parameters and the latter calculating $p$-values for rejection of the null hypothesis of isotropy (i.e. no power at $\ell>0$). All analysis indicate consistency with isotropy to within $3σ$. We similarly identify no evidence for a "hemisphere anisotropy" that neglects the angular dependence of the dipole. We isolate the differences with contrary claims in the ad hoc or biased statistics that they employ. Our code is publicly available.
