Cyclopoapseudes

description: Subgenus Exopoapseudes subgen. nov.
 Diagnosis. Cyclopoapseudes with exopodites on cheliped and pereopod 1.
 Type species. Cyclopoapseudes diceneon Gardiner, 1973. Other species C. (E.) plumosa sp. nov.
 Etymology. Combined from Exo – from “exopod”, and “- poapseudes ” from the last part of the name of the genus Cyclopoapseudes (female).
 Remarks. With the following new species, there are now four species of Cyclopoapseudes known. The Pacific species C. indecorus Menzies, 1953 (the generotype), from Ecuador, and the Indian Ocean species C. estafricana Băcescu,1975 (Tanzania) are both without exopodites on the cheliped and pereopod 1, while C. diceneon Gardiner, 1973 (New Zealand) and the new species described below from the Bass Strait, both from Antipodean waters, have these exopodites. In other apseudomorph taxa, this difference has been considered sufficient to distinguish separate genera (rightly or wrongly); here we distinguish two subgenera, the nominate Cyclopoapseudes and the presently Antipodean Exopoapseudes, the latter being the more plesiomorphic.

ReSequenceR: Simulating more realistic high-throughput sequencing data

description: Currently comparison studies, e.g., for error correction, assembly or variant calling, face the problem that synthetic datasets resemble the real output of high-throughput sequencers only in very limited ways, resulting in much better estimated performance of programs run on simulated data compared to real data. Therefore, comparison studies are often based on real data. However, this approach holds its own difficulties since the ground truth is unknown and can only be estimated from available reference or variant files, which often still contain a noticeable amount of errors for non-model organisms. Even for model organism with perfect references, variations between the sequenced individual and the reference are counted as errors and reduce the estimated performance of tested tools.

ReSequenceR fills the gap between simulated and real data evaluations by reproducing key statistics of real data. When these characteristics are translated into new synthetic computational experiments (i.e., simulated data), the performance can be more accurately estimated. Therefore, our simulator provides better information to developers about which features of real data their methods are struggling with.

The poster will show several important features of real Illumina data, highlighting that existing simulators fail to capture many important attributes. We show that ReSequenceR is able to capture a wider variety of data features of sequencing datasets to a higher degree.

Differences in spatial conservation prioritization: A multicriteria analysis in the Neotropics
Creators: name: Girón, Jaime Burbano
Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2017

description: The goal of spatial conservation prioritization is to identify a network of conservation areas under three basic criteria: representation, persistence, and cost-efficiency. Exercises using all three criteria are scarce, but they have shown differences in networks of conservation areas identified when different combinations of them are applied. These differences could result in allocating efforts, resources, and actions on regions where success in protecting biodiversity is highly uncertain. Thus, we compare the differences in priority areas identified under the three basic criteria of spatial conservation prioritization for the most biodiverse region globally, the Neotropics.

We employed the geographic distribution, habitat, and ecological function of 9008 species of amphibians, birds, mammals, and reptiles. We modeled land use changes for the Neotropical region to evaluate most vulnerable areas, and the dispersal distance of species to determine their potential population viability. Finally, to estimate opportunity costs of agricultural and livestock activities, we recovered the data of rent, production, and yield for 209 crops and cattle at municipality level for the 20 countries involving the study area. We employed Marxan to generate networks of conservation areas. Differences were compared at three levels: similarity, mean differences, and level of association.

Results show larger differences among conservation areas when the cost-efficiency criterion is included, followed by persistence, and representation. However, when the three criteria are employed simultaneously, the most robust networks are identified, due to lower variability with respect to those using only one criterion. Our results show a comprehensive representation of biodiversity, and globally may be one of the most complete, since it includes a significant fraction of known biodiversity, at the species level, and within the Neotropical taxa of the groups included.

description: For the usage of liquid oxygen as a propellant in pressure-fed rocket engine systems, the propellant needs to be pressurized, for example by using an inert gas such as helium. This paper describes a practical investigation with measurement results on the pressurization and expulsion of liquid nitrogen from a 30 L pressure vessel at 30 bar. The amount of helium needed and the effect of the injection method on this amount is investigated by numerical simulations that are validated using experimental test results. The collapse factor for the system is determined. It is concluded that axial injection of the gas is more advantageous than the commonly used radial injection.

description: This paper presents a study about cure kinetics of HXE23 resin system; this material has been developed by AVIO S.p.A. for the next generation of solid rocket motor (SRM) cases for VEGA and P120C. Only a complete knowledge of the curing mechanism allows to benefit of all the distinctive advantages of the developed resin system. Characterization of the resin is one of the prerequisites for optimizing the process parameters, therefore this paper presents a study of HXE23 prepreg in terms of cure kinetic, whose understanding is essential especially when on-line cure monitoring is not possible due to constraints deriving from a combination of part complexity, process needs and tooling peculiarity; this is the situation experienced in SRM cases manufacturing. Moreover, the big size of the parts limits the number of trial items for process setup, and a complete knowledge of the material properties is essential. As a result, a kinetic cure model was developed giving the possibility to develop a method to optimize the cure cycle for different SRM cases. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) method was taken into account in order to develop a curing kinetic model. The developed cure model has a fundamental importance from an industrial point of view, since it can be implemented in a dedicated Finite Element Method (FEM) software for the simulation of curing process of SRM casings, thus allowing to predict the degree of conversion and the mechanical and thermal properties on the real part. This approach gives also the opportunity to optimize the curing process in order to obtain the maximum achievable homogeneity of the final properties on the various parts of the casing.

description: In this paper, different methods to predict the breakup of a runback water film into rivulets are explored. The Minimum Total Energy criterion is first applied to a sheared film on a NACA profile and confronted to experimental data. The film solver in the CFD code OpenFoam is then used to compute the breakup of a falling film on an inclined plane. The results are substantially dependent on the mesh density and empirical parameters introduced in the partial wetting model. If the later are correctly calibrated for a particular test case, the critical flow rate for transition is well recovered.

description: (M.A.) -- Towson University, 2017
description: Aberrant reward sensitivity has been an established hallmark of bipolar disorder (BD) and major depressive disorder (MDD), and there is now evidence for a potential biomarker for this abnormality, termed frontal alpha asymmetry. Those with BD exhibit greater relative left hemispheric activity, and those with MDD show greater relative right frontal activity, during challenging, reward-based tasks. The present study utilized a sample of 30 Towson University students and measured their levels of anhedonic and manic symptomatology, the two characteristic symptoms of MDD and BD, respectively. While recording their brain activity via electroencephalogram equipment (EEG), they completed a word unscrambling task that increased in difficulty and was either paired with a potential reward or punishment. Although not significant, positive and negative relationships between the frontal asymmetry index during the hard/reward trials and manic and anhedonic symptomatology, respectively, were revealed, as expected. The present trends are consistent with previous findings for a neural marker of approach motivation in these pathologies, and warrants more extensive inquiry in larger, clinical samples.

description: (M.A.) -- Towson University, 2017
description: Two facets of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder are obsessions and compulsions. Compulsions are strong, maladaptive habit behaviors exhibited to reduce obsessions, or unwanted thoughts. Compulsions in OCD, in part, are a product of dysfunctional communication between the striatum/habit memory system and higher areas of cortex which creates strong habit responses that are unable to be inhibited. Successful behavioral rodent models for these strong compulsive habits have been created through overtraining and repeated trials. The present study intended to create a behavioral paradigm of compulsive checking behavior in rodents through rats receiving four, eight, and sixteen days of training on a platform location in the Morris water maze. Eight and sixteen days of training were intended to produce overtraining and spatial response initiation. Results are discussed in terms of the animals’ self-initiated spatial response towards a previously learned location after being placed in a novel location.

description: Advances in biomedical sciences are increasingly dependent on knowledge encoded in curated biomedical databases. In particular, the Universal Protein Resource (UniProt) provides the scientific community with a comprehensive and accurately annotated protein sequence knowledgebase. The organization of UniProt protein entries and their associated publications in different topics, such as expression, function and interaction, helps users to find the information of interest in the knowledgebase. The current topic classification approach for computationally mapped bibliography, based solely on underlying sources, is limited. We investigate the use of (semi-) automated classifiers for helping UniProt to classify the scientific biomedical literature according to 11 topics. Publications annotated by UniProt curators are labeled using one or more of the classes above. As such, this is a multi-class multi-label classification problem. Our algorithm works as follows: given a text passage, such as an article abstract, it provides a ranked list of classes and the probabilities that the passage belongs to the available classes. We investigate a text embedding model, Doc2Vec, to compute document similarity and compare several machine learning methods, such as Naïve Bayes, kNN, Logistic regression, and MLP, for assigning class similarities. We use a collection of 100,000 documents classified by the UniProt team to train (99,000) and test (1,000) our algorithms. The validation of the classifier parameters was performed using 5% of the training collection. We compare the text embedded models with a baseline model based on bag of words, where divergence from randomness is used to compute document similarity and kNN to assign classes. In general, our algorithms achieved a high classification precision. The baseline model achieved a mean average precision (MAP) of 0.8270. Apart from the Naïve Bayes model (MAP 0.7163), all the models based on the text embedding approach outperformed the baseline method. Logistic regression achieved a MAP of 0.8376 (p=.32), MLP achieved a MAP of 0.8413 (p=.18), and kNN achieved a MAP of 0.8485 (p=.04). We believe that such classifiers could help improving the productivity in and reduce the cost of certain biocuration tasks. The next steps will be the application of the methodology to unclassified documents and to assess its effectiveness in assisting curators judge the relevance of articles for further curation.

description: Fire safety for space launch vehicle is very important issue and should be guaranteed at the nearly all the phases from launch preparation to flight. In the space launch vehicle system, fire safety can be secured by passive and active methods. The method including material selection regulations and leak rate controlling is categorized in the passive one. On the other hand active method adopts purging inert gas into the compartment of launch vehicle and thus it can reduce the concentration of flammable gases and expel them form the compartment. Normally this can be assured without difficulty at the launch pad with ground system. However, during the flight it is not easy to obtain and needs some additional system such as fire prevention system. In this paper, design for the fire prevention system for space launch vehicle during the flight is explained and the analysis is described. As a result, fire prevention system is worth introducing for space launch vehicle in terms of reliable fire safety during the flight.

MODELLING

description: This paper deals a study for the optimization of the curing process of large Solid Rocket Motor (SRM) casings, by means of experimental analyses and also by using a Finite Element Method (FEM) model simulating the curing cycle of a large composite casing. The various phenomena occurring during polymerization and their interaction were taken into account and implemented in the model. As a result, the temperature profile and the degree of conversion depending on the curing cycle progress were obtained, thus giving a prediction of the glass transition temperature and the mechanical properties as a function of temperature on different positions of the casing, evolving with time. The simulation will be performed on solid rocket motor casing for the future VEGA. The temperature profile and the degree of cure depend on the curing cycle process, therefore the simulation is important to predict the real behaviour of the large SRM casings. The simulation parameters used were found in a previous work by chemical-physical analysis that led to know the reaction kinetics of the carbon /epoxy prepreg developed by Avio S.p.A.

VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION

description: Scaled down models are widely used for experimental investigations of large structures. Usually, the real structure is so large that the available testing facilities are not adequate, or it would be too expensive. Scaling is usually carried out by simple application of the Buckingham  theorem. However, when dynamic similarity is required in structures of different materials, the scaling process is not as simple, especially if the scaled model is to be fabricated in a single material. For complete dynamic similarity, stiffness similarity requires proper scaling of axial, bending, torsion and shear stiffness. This is not possible for general 3D frames with different materials.

Turbulence modeling based on a scale-resolving approach has been applied, while phase change of fuel is accounted by means of a cavitation model that has been coupled with the VOF solver. Simulations have been carried out on a 6-hole prototype injector, especially developed for investigations in the framework of the collaborative project FUI MAGIE and provided by Continental Automotive SAS. Special attention has been paid to the domain decomposition strategy and to the code development of the solver, to ensure good load balancing and to minimize inter-processor communication, to achieve good performance and also high scalability on large computing clusters.

HEAT TRANSFER

description: This paper presents a solution to the problem of droplet combustion, using a novel modified thermal resistors model (MTRM). The MTRM can treat heat transfer situations which involve heat sources from chemical reactions or phase transition, such as combustion problems. Its solution for the droplet combustion process yields results which are similar to those of the classical model, but in a simpler way. The MTRM is a powerful analytical technique allowing consideration of multiple heat transfer mechanisms and avoiding certain simplifying assumptions. Thus, it enables solving problems that could not be solved before analytically, obtaining better results.

 Remarks. Kensley (2003) differentiated this species from nine other species of Paraxiopsis. It is recognisable by the presence of a tomentum of long and short setae over much of the body and limbs. The rostrum has three close-set spines on the lateral margins running towards three more on the lateral gastric carina. The submedian gastric carinae each has usually six spines but in the female illustrated here there are eight on one side only. Sakai based his species on two females only. One of the females in the new collection, with gonopores on coxae 3, has a minute pair of pleopods 1 while the others do not.

description: With the process of aircraft design and aerodynamic testing relying more than ever on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), queries into which turbulence model is most effective for delta wings are raised. This study will look into the case of flow passing over a moderately swept delta wing at low Reynolds numbers. Using the CFD solver, ANSYS FLUENT, three models were tested, the Spalart-Allmaras one-equation model, the k- omega two equation model and the Transition SST four-equation model. The Spalart-Allmaras adds a single additional variable for a Spalart-Allmaras viscosity and solves the entire flow field as opposed to using wall functions. Its advantages come in the form of stability and its reliability for results convergence. The k-omega model solves for the specific rate of dissipation of kinetic energy and uses wall functions. This model is most effective in flows that show strong curvature and separation. And finally, the Transition SST model, a hybrid of both the k-omega model at the walls and the k-epsilon model in the free stream. This turbulence model does not use wall functions and is most accurate when solving the flow near the wall. The different turbulence models are compared against wind tunnel experimental results.

title: Die Wahrnehmung von Migration und WählerInnen mit Migrationshintergrund durch die österreichischen Parteien
Creators: name: Groll, Verena
Year: 2010

description: Rund acht Prozent der in Österreich wahlberechtigten Personen sind nicht in Österreich geboren. Die Statistik Austria schätzt, dass das migrantische Wählerpotenzial rund 800.000 Menschen umfasst. Also immerhin zehn Prozent der österreichischen Bevölkerung. Obwohl Migration in Österreich ein omnipräsentes Thema ist haben sich die österreichischen Parteien erst spät für MigrantInnen zu interessieren begonnen. Die Forschungsfragen dieser Diplomarbeit lauteten: Werden WählerInnen mit Migrationshintergrund von den österreichischen, bei der Nationalratswahl 2008 wahlwerbenden, Parteien wahrgenommen? Wenn ja: Werben Parteien explizit um sie? Um Einblick in den parteiinternen Entscheidungsprozess zu gewinnen wurden für die Durchführung des Nationalratswahlkampfes verantwortliche VertreterInnen aller im österreichischen Nationalrat vertretenen Parteien zur Haltung ihrer Parteien gegenüber Wählern mit Migrationshintergrund befragt. Zusätzlich wurden auch Interviews mit Vertretern verschiedener Migrantenorganisationen in Österreich durchgeführt um zu eruieren wie die (Nicht-)Angebote der Parteien von Migranten selbst wahrgenommen werden. Bei der Analyse, der hier durchgeführten Experteninterviews kam das Textreduktionsverfahren nach Froschauer/Lueger zum Einsatz um den Zugang der einzelnen Parteien zu WählerInnen mit Migrationshintergrund und Migration als solcher vergleichen zu können. Zusätzlich wurden die Parteiprogramme der Parlamentsparteien einer Analyse unterzogen. Die Interviews mit Vertretern von Migrantenvereinen bieten einen Einblick in das Bild österreichischer Politik wie es sich MigrantInnen bietet.
Provocative conservation/evocative design - contemporary design intervention in historic urban landscape

description: The notion of authenticity has been intensively debated in the field of heritage conservation. However, this slippery intellectual term is hardly instructive for urban conservation and design practice for historic environment in contemporary cities. The issues of authenticity leave us an unsolved gap in both conservation theory and methodology. How should we perceive the ‘authenticity’ of a place? How does a new design respect and reflect this notion? There is no single answer for these questions. Through this research, the idea of progressive authenticity has been gradually formed and explored. It argues that what is happening ‘now’ is more essential to authenticity. How should we respect ‘now’ in a landscape that the ‘past’ needed to be conserved? This is the ultimate question to the author as a designer. The research uses a series of design experiments to illustrate different ideas of authenticity, the conflict between different perspectives of understanding this notion and the view to open up various interpretations of authenticity. Meanwhile, this research explores how the meanings of a historic place could be presented and experienced differently from the conventional heritage interpretations. ‘Provocative’ and ‘Evocative’ are used as keywords for a range of designs, which encourage the users to understand, think about and interact with the historic site differently.

description: The nonlinear control scheme generally uses the cancellation or inversion process based on the exact system identification. However, the external disturbances as well as unknown system characteristics degrade the control system performance. To cope with these uncertainties, in this paper, the adaptive sliding mode control scheme is adopted with nonlinear back-stepping autopilot structure similar to the novel 3 loop controller. Firstly the basic control structure is introduced and advanced compensation terms are added. The system performance is evaluated with some numerical simulations.
Investigation of SiC based field effect sensors with gas sensitive metal oxide layers for hydrogen and hydrocarbon gas sensing at high temperatures
Creators: name: Kandasamy, Sasikaran
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This PhD thesis sets out to investigate novel Silicon Carbide (SiC) based field effect devices (Schottky and transistor structures), with gas sensitive layers for monitoring hydrogen and propene gases at high temperatures. The devices developed by the author were shown to exhibit sensitivities at least 1~2 orders of magnitude (voltage shift, ƒ¢V) higher than those reported in literature. Not only did the author seek to investigate the gas sensing potential of such devices, but also he set out to study, analyse and establish the gas interaction mechanism of these novel sensors.

High temperature tolerant hydrogen and hydrocarbon sensors are required in numerous applications such as: aerospace, nuclear power plant, space exploration and exhaust monitoring in automobiles. Monitoring these gases in a reliable and efficient manner is of great value in these applications, not only from a safety point of view but also for economical reasons. Hence there is an absolute necessity for simple, efficient and high performance sensors not only for monitoring and leak detection but also to function as part of a safety device to prevent accidents. The proposed sensor structure of combining SiC with gas sensitive oxide layers allow them to be operated at high temperatures, making them extremely appealing for direct or in-situ monitoring applications.

The microstructural analysis performed using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy (RBS) provides no evidence of inter-diffusion between different layers, in spite of the sensors being annealing at 650‹ in O2, H2 and C3H6 atmospheres for approximately 50hrs. Samples in different conditions (as deposited, annealed and tested) were compared. The electrical properties of the MROSiC (current-voltage, I-V and capacitance-voltage, C-V characteristics) and MESFET (drain current-source drain voltage (ID-VSD) and transfer, (ID-H2 concentration) characteristics) devices were measured in the presence and absence of H2 and C3H6. Several parameters such as barrier height, saturation currents, pinch-off voltages and channel conductance were determined from the electrical characteristics, and their influence on the device performance was studied.

The authors proposed gas interaction model based on energy band diagram is well supported by the experimental data obtained.
Creative process of computer-assisted composition and multimedia composition: visual images and music
Creators: name: Chen, Chi
Publisher: name: RMIT University

description: This research study investigates how music technology can enhance and develop the musical ideas of students, focusing on the creative processes involved in computer-assisted composition and multimedia composition. The study investigates the Creative Multimedia Music Project, a module of the Associate of Arts (Music) Degree where students are using computers as music workstations. The aims of the study are (a) to evaluate the use of music technology for composing; (b) to describe the creative process of composing and investigate how the students comprehend this; and (c) to analyze the relationship between the creative process of the musical treatment and the visual image in multimedia composition.

The study is conducted in an exploratory, self-directed environment where the students make musical decisions about their compositions. From the preliminary survey, 10 out of 45 music-major students (Year Two) from the Associate Degree Music Program at the Hong Kong Institute of Education (HKIEd) were selected.

Composition activities took place over 15 sessions. The first phase focused on computer-assisted composition and the second phase focused on multimedia composition. The students attended lectures on alternate weeks. This gave them enough time to compose in the laboratory or at home, allowing them to explore, make decisions, and evaluate decisions. Data were collected from four sources: (1) written reports including a musical analysis of the creative process, (2) one-to-one interviews conducted during and after the creative process (15 questions were asked in each phase), (3) self-reflective journals that students maintained during their creative process, and (4) MIDI file observations after the creative process had occurred. After data collection, commonalities between each of these data sources were analyzed. This highlighted that during the creative process, a developmental pattern emerged that extends Webster's model (2003) of creative thinking in music. The relationships between the findings and the lite rature review were articulated to reinforce the creative thinking model, trends, and perspectives from different sources.

Through an analysis of these students' creative processes and the strategies they adopted while composing with music technology, research projects such as this one may provide composers, music technologists, and music educators with insights into how students approach the task of composing using music technology. The findings might prove as a useful guidance to music educators on how to structure computer-assisted composition and multimedia composition programs for different age groups from school to university.
A fault tolerant parallel computing architecture for remote sensing satellites

Publisher: name: RMIT University

description: This thesis is concerned with the design concepts of a fault tolerant, high performance parallel computing payload for remote-sensing missions. Current small satellite missions generally do not have high computational power onboard due to limitations of power, space, volume or budget. This thesis researches on a cost-effective way of designing space computing architectures that enable reliability, despite the usage of Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components.

The COTS-enabling technology from this work has achieved a high reliability figure for the PPU computing payload, designed using commercial grade processors, Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), memory chips and serial flash chips. The optimal usage of resources in the PPU has made it a valuable high performance computing resource for small satellite missions. The PPU’s computational power will enable a new class of space applications for small satellite missions.

The computing payload proposed in this thesis is a parallel cluster of COTS processing nodes, interconnected using network elements that are based on COTS FPGAs. Part of this research work has been adopted for use in the Parallel Processing Unit (PPU) - a secondary payload onboard the XSat micro-satellite. The XSat is built by the Centre of Research for Satellite Technologies (CREST), and scheduled for launch in 2011. The satellite centre is located in Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. The author is a full-time project member in this centre, in charge of the PPU payload development.

The computing payload uses parallelism of COTS processor nodes to achieve high computing performance, and fault tolerant schemes to maintain reliability. This thesis focuses on the provision of highly fault tolerant and reconfigurable networks that enable reliable communication not only among parallel processors, but also with memory chips and external interfaces. Provision of multiple communication schemes that consist of an inter-cluster ring network and mesh processor array, both of which are fault tolerant and reconfigurable, have given the payload a high probability of survival in the harsh space radiation environment. This is coupled with autonomous processor fault detection and recovery schemes.

The PPU computing payload is also highly adaptive to changing reliability and computation needs, allowing a trade-off between the two at mission runtime. The PPU adopts industrial standards for part reliability computation and system reliability modelling. The PPU’s system reliability figure is a valuable check that the extent of fault tolerance is sufficient yet not over-catered. Over-catering of fault tolerant paths results in unnecessary wastage of valuable and expensive resources onboard the satellite.
