Making Chinese Australia: Urban Elites, Newspapers and the Formation of Chinese-Australian Identity, 1892–1912
Creators: name: Kuo, Mei-Fen
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: 210303 Australian History (excl. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander History)
subject: FOS: History and archaeology

description: The Chinese press was the largest foreign-language press in Sydney in the late nineteenth century, and the only foreign-language press to publish continuously from the 1890s into the 1920s. Yet the story of Chinese-language newspapers during this period of emerging Australian and Chinese nationalism has, until now, been left untold. Beginning with a review of an especially bitter conflict that split the Sydney Chinese community, in 1892, and ending two decades later with the establishment of the earliest political alliance between Chinese-Australian elites in Sydney and Melbourne, set up to support the building of the Republic of China, Making Chinese Australia demonstrates how the interpretations and narratives of journalists and editors of Chinese-Australian newspapers played a powerful role in shaping the social identities and historical awareness of Chinese Australians. In the process of relating this important narrative, Mei-fen Kuo employs new historical and philosophical frameworks to initiate a dialogue between Chinese-Australian history and international and diasporic Chinese studies.

description: Established in 1964, the Centre for Research into Aboriginal Affairs propelled Monash University into a position of academic leadership in the ongoing struggle for justice for Aboriginal people. Leading the way in research into the causes of Aboriginal disadvantage and the teaching of Aboriginal Studies, Monash has also been at the forefront of moves to widen educational and employment opportunities for Indigenous people. Focusing on the leaders who steered Monash’s Indigenous programs over half-a-century, Making a Difference tells the story of visionary and committed individuals, some newcomers to Australia, some Australian-born, some Indigenous, who sought to improve Aboriginal peoples’ lives in the face of enormous obstacles.

description: Learning Discourses and the Discourses of Learning is an edited collection of papers exploring issues of teaching and learning in academic settings. The key theme of the volume is 'discourses' - especially as these relate to institutional policies, disciplinary practices and students' processes of learning in the academy. Particular attention is paid to the experiences of second-language students studying at Australian universities as well as those learning foreign languages in Australia. Employing a variety of methodologies and theoretical perspectives, the papers in Learning Discourses are unified by a focus on rich and socially situated empirical data. The book addresses issues highly pertinent to the dynamic character of contemporary higher education in Australia, one dominated by trends towards the internationalisation and professionalisation of university programs, and the growing intercultural nature of social and academic interactions. Part one covers issues of discourse and change, exploring processes of discourse acquisition and production in a range of disciplinary contexts, along with the nexus between academic and professional discourses. Part two deals with broader issues of the participation and socialisation of students in second-language-use situations, ranging from macro (social planning and policy) issues to the micro (interpersonal) level. Part three looks at the social mediation of foreign language learning covering a range of tertiary and secondary settings in Australia and has a particular focus on Japanese as a foreign language. This book is intended for academics and students - postgraduate and undergraduate - working in foreign language programs, academic and language support programs, and applied linguistics.

description: We consider a small metallic grain coupled to a superconductor by a tunnel contact. We study the interplay between proximity and charging effects in the presence of the external magnetic field. Employing the adiabatic approximation we develop a self-consistent theory valid for an arbitrary ratio of proximity and Coulomb strength. The magnetic field suppresses the proximity-induced minigap in an unusual way. We find the phase diagram of the grain in the charging energy - magnetic field plane. Two distinct states exist with different values and magnetic field dependences of the minigap. The first-order phase transition occurs between these two minigapped states. The transition to the gapless state may occur by the first- or second-order mechanism depending on the charging energy. We also calculate the tunneling density of states in the grain. The energy dependence of this quantity demonstrates two different gaps corresponding to the Coulomb and proximity effects. These gaps may be separated in sufficiently high magnetic field.

description: SYN(Student Youth Network) is a media organisation run by people between the ages of 12 and 26. In this ‘coming of age’ story, Ellie Rennie follows the SYNners as they build Australia’s most unusual media empire against enormous odds. Over the course of SYN’s development, social networking becomes the most popular internet activity and traditional media institutions are forced to acknowledge the rise of amateur content. In response, SYN rethinks its approach to the online environment, kills its print publication, deals with the introduction of digital broadcasting and teaches schoolteachers about a new kind of literacy. In just two years dozens of careers are launched, the SYN radio audience doubles and the network gets told off for swearing. Life of SYN takes on the big issues of the media through the story of a small media organisation. This humorous and insightful book describes a media environment in flux, where audiences and producers express their freedom in unruly and contradictory ways. Life of SYN gives structure to the new media world without curtailing its inventiveness and possibilities. Life of SYN combines story with media theory, encompassing digital literacy and media participation, the future of community media, youth media and media industries.

description: After growing up on a remote South Australian property, and having seen her mother taken by a shark when she was two, Jean Primrose Whyte went on to become a dominant figure in Australian librarianship in the second half of the 20th century. Her time at the University of Chicago Graduate Library School was vital; it resulted in numerous lasting friendships and reinforced her commitment to the North American pattern of professional education in librarianship. In 1959 she went to the Fisher Library, University of Sydney, and in 1972 to the National Library of Australia, where she was one of only two women (among 850 men) in the second division of the Commonwealth Public Service. She had a pivotal and influential role as editor of the Australian Library Journal (1959–71). She became foundation professor of the Graduate School of Librarianship, Monash University (1975–88), where she implemented her ideas about professional education and produced outstanding graduates while promoting research. In 1987 she received the highest award available to a professional librarian in Australia, the H. C. L. Anderson Award. She was an accomplished poet, and hand-printed her own and others’ works. Physically she was imposing, and students often remained in awe of her, but she took the opportunity to mould and encourage bright young minds, and those who were prepared to meet her standards became lifelong friends in whose careers she continued to take a practical interest.

description: Nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers, optically-active atomic defects in diamond, have attracted tremendous interest for quantum sensing, network, and computing applications due to their excellent quantum coherence and remarkable versatility in a real, ambient environment. One of the critical challenges to develop NV-based quantum operation platforms results from the difficulty to locally address the quantum spin states of individual NV spins in a scalable, energy-efficient manner. Here, we report electrical control of the coherent spin rotation rate of a single-spin qubit in NV-magnet based hybrid quantum systems. By utilizing electrically generated spin currents, we are able to achieve efficient tuning of magnetic damping and the amplitude of the dipole fields generated by a micrometer-sized resonant magnet, enabling electrical control of the Rabi oscillation frequency of NV spins. Our results highlight the potential of NV centers in designing functional hybrid solid-state systems for next-generation quantum-information technologies. The demonstrated coupling between the NV centers and the propagating spin waves harbored by a magnetic insulator further points to the possibility to establish macroscale entanglement between distant spin qubits.

description: This is the first book in almost two decades to bring together scholars of Indonesia from the Australian academy in a single volume to reflect on and engage in a deep critique of their field. As such, this is a timely contribution. The importance of Indonesia as a global citizen has never been more acute and it is essential that scholars inside and outside of Australia have the tools for interpreting and understanding this complex and fascinating nation. Knowing Indonesia brings together leading political scientists, historians and anthropologists to give their unique perspectives on and analysis of the state of this field in the Australian academy and elsewhere in the West. Divergent views on fundamental questions of Indonesian studies are presented and new ideas are advanced about how we might pursue these studies in the future.
Three-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations of void coalescence during dynamic fracture of ductile metals

description: Void coalescence and interaction in dynamic fracture of ductile metals have been investigated using three-dimensional strain-controlled multi-million atom molecular dynamics simulations of copper. The correlated growth of two voids during the coalescence process leading to fracture is investigated, both in terms of its onset and the ensuing dynamical interactions. Void interactions are quantified through the rate of reduction of the distance between the voids, through the correlated directional growth of the voids, and through correlated shape evolution of the voids. The critical inter-void ligament distance marking the onset of coalescence is shown to be approximately one void radius based on the quantification measurements used, independent of the initial separation distance between the voids and the strain-rate of the expansion of the system. The interaction of the voids is not reflected in the volumetric asymptotic growth rate of the voids, as demonstrated here. Finally, the practice of using a single void and periodic boundary conditions to study coalescence is examined critically and shown to produce results markedly different than the coalescence of a pair of isolated voids.

subject: 210301 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander History

description: In the late 1990s, Carolyn Landon collaborated with Daryl Tonkin to write his memoir of life at Jackson's Track. It was the story of a White man and his Aboriginal family, of family ties, hard work, happiness, betrayal, racial prejudice and ultimately, from Daryl's point of view, tragic dispossession. Since being published in 2000, Jackson's Track has sold more than 60,000 copies. Now, Carolyn Landon has come back to the events of the story to examine them anew. In Jackson's Track Revisited, the voices of Aboriginal people who lived at the Track mingle with those of the White Australians who tried to 'improve' their lives in the 1950s, the era of assimilation. An exploration of the historical factors surrounding Tonkin's story leads to discussion of the Victorian Aborigines Welfare Board, the Victorian Aborigines Advancement League and the policy of assimilation that was so prevalent in mid-twentieth century Australia. This concise book contains many surprises. The new stories take complex twists and turns as Landon explores the motives of all the players – and this involves revisiting Tonkin's own memories. As Landon seeks others' interpretations of events, she also analyses her own changing understandings, uncovering the prejudices she, as interviewer, researcher and historian, has brought to the project. The testimony of one Aboriginal participant is particularly unforeseen and forthright. It shows that the way the Kurnai people see themselves has escaped the constructions White Australians have placed upon them ever since invasion. Finally, Jackson's Track Revisited focuses on the friendship between Landon and Pauline Mullett, daughter of Daryl Tonkin. Mullett leads Landon into her existing culture – a culture which many White people believed no longer existed – helping Landon to find meaning in all the stories.

description: High-frequency pulse electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) were used to clarify the electronic structure of the color centers with an optically induced high-temperature spin-3/2 alignment in hexagonal 4H-, 6H- and rhombic 15R- silicon carbide (SiC) polytypes. The identification is based on resolved ligand hyperfine interactions with carbon and silicon nearest, next nearest and the more distant neighbors and on the determination of the spin state. The ground state and the excited state were demonstrated to have spin S = 3/2. The microscopic model suggested from the EPR and ENDOR results is as follows: a paramagnetic negatively charged silicon vacancy that is noncovalently bonded to a non-paramagnetic neutral carbon vacancy, located on the adjacent site along the SiC symmetry c-axis.

Using the Very Large Array, we imaged ten candidates with both dual redshifts in Sloan Digital Sky Survey spectra and 1.4 GHz radio flux >2 mJy in the FIRST survey. The VLA maps show that in each case the radio emission is associated with the foreground galaxy rather than being lensed emission from the background galaxy, although at least four of our targets are strong lenses at optical wavelengths. These SDSS dual-redshift systems do not have lensed radio emission at the sensitivity of current radio surveys.

description: In 1969 car crashes killed over 1000 Victorians, making Victoria’s roads some of the world’s most deadly. By 2016, the fatality rate had been cut by 85% and Victorians are now taking seriously the goal of eliminating death on the roads altogether. This extraordinary achievement is the product of sustained and ground-breaking approaches to preventing injury, saving lives and optimising recovery. Beginning with the world’s first seatbelt legislation in 1970, Victorians repeatedly charted new territory in health and public policy. In 2001 the system to care for severely injured people received a major overhaul. The new Victorian State Trauma System halved the risk anyone injured would die, and became the envy of the world. From Roadside to Recovery is the story of the evolution, implementation and impact of the Victorian State Trauma System, and those who championed it. It is a story of vision, leadership, determination, and achievement, about which there is much to celebrate. As road trauma is now one of the world’s leading causes of death there is also much to learn from it. For those who care about making a difference, this story will guide and inspire – showing what is possible when a community is determined to address the tragedy and cost of road trauma.

description: The LaBr$_3$(Ce) detector has attracted much attention in recent years for its superior characteristics to other scintillating materials in terms of resolution and efficiency. However, it has relatively high intrinsic radiation background due to the naturally occurring radioisotope in lanthanum, actinium and their daughter nuclei. This limits its applications in low counting rate experiments. In this paper, we identified the radioactive isotopes in the $\phi3''\times 3''$ Saint-Gobain B380 detector by a coincidence measurement using a Clover detector in a low-background shielding system. Moreover, we carried out a Geant4 simulation to the experimental spectra to evaluate the activities of the main internal radiation components. % by means of the $α$, $γ$ and $β$ decays from the $^{138}$La and $^{227}$Ac. The activity of radiation background of B380 is determined to be 1.480 (69) Bq/cm$^3$, the main sources of which include $^{138}$La of 1.425 (59) Bq/cm$^3$, $^{211}$Bi of 0.0136 (15) Bq/cm$^3$, $^{219}$Rn of 0.0125 (17) Bq/cm$^3$, $^{223}$Ra of 0.0127 (14) Bq/cm$^3$, and $^{227}$Th of 0.0158 (22) Bq/cm$^3$.

Constraining B in galaxy clusters from statistics of giant radio halos

description: There are several possibilities to constrain the value of the magnetic field in the ICM, the most direct ones being the combination of inverse Compton and synchrotron observations, and the Faraday rotation measures. Here we discuss on the possibility to provide constraints on the magnetic field in the ICM from the analysis of the statistical properties of the giant radio halos, Mpc--scale diffuse radio emission in galaxy clusters. Present observations of a few well studied radio halos can be interpreted under the hypothesis that the emitting relativistic electrons are re-accelerated on their way out. By using statistical calculations carried out in the framework of the re-acceleration model we show that the observed radio--power vs cluster mass correlation in radio halos can be reproduced only by assuming $μ$G fields in the ICM and a scaling of the magnetic field with cluster mass $B \propto M_v^b$, with $b \geq 0.6$. We also show that the expected occurrence of radio halos with mass and redshift, and their number counts are sensitive to the magnetic field intensity in massive galaxy clusters and to the scaling of B with cluster mass. Thus future deep surveys of radio halos would provide constraints on B in galaxy clusters.

description: The New Horizons space probe led the first close flyby of one of the most primordial and distant objects left over from the formation of the solar system, the contact binary Kuiper Belt object (486958) Arrokoth, which is composed of two progenitors, the lobes nicknamed Ultima and Thule. In the current work, we investigated Arrokoth's surface in detail to identify the location of equilibrium points and also explore each lobe's individual dynamic features. We assume Arrokoth's irregular shape as a homogeneous polyhedra contact binary. We numerically explore its dynamic characteristics by computing its irregular binary geopotential to study its quantities, such as geometric height, oblateness, ellipticity, and zero-power curves. The stability of Arrokoth Hill was also explored through zero-velocity curves. Arrokoth's external equilibrium points have no radial symmetry due to its highly irregular shape. We identified even equilibrium points concerning its shape and spin rate: i.e., four unstable external equilibrium points and three inner equilibrium points, where two points are linearly stable, with an unstable central point that has a slight offset from its centroid. Moreover, the large and small lobes each have five equilibrium points with different topological structures from those found in Arrokoth. Our results also indicate that the equatorial region of Arrokoth's lobes is an unstable area due to the high rotation period, while its polar locations are stable resting sites for surface particles. Finally, the zero-power curves indicate the locations around Arrokoth where massless particles experience enhancing and receding orbital energy.

description: Identifying individual age and size is crucial in venom research to understand potential phenotypic changes. When studying venom ontogeny, juveniles and adults are often determined by size at sexual maturity. However, in gape-limited predators such as snakes, venom shifts may occur earlier, coinciding with an increase in jaw size that allows the intake of larger prey. This study explored venom variation in Vipera ammodytes along the snout-vent length (SVL), linking these changes to dietary shifts and reproductive status. A total of 57 venom samples from two populations were analysed using chip electrophoresis (CE) and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Individuals were categorised into three groups: immature individuals feeding on lizards (<300 mm SVL), immature individuals feeding on lizards but start including mammals in their diet (between 300 and 440 mm), and mature individuals feeding on mammals and lizards (>440 mm). Significant venom composition changes around 300 mm SVL were observed, aligning with a dietary shift marked by increased mammalian prey intake and preceding sexual maturity. This finding highlights the need to use SVL as a metric for accurate venom analysis along ontogeny. Our results indicate that when pooling venom samples is necessary, allocating individuals to age categories should be based on dietary shifts rather than sexual maturity. Additionally, CE and MALDI-TOF MS proved effective in detecting ontogenetic venom changes, offering a fast and affordable approach to venom profiling. This study emphasises the importance of integrating natural history data in venom studies to better understand the ecological and evolutionary drivers of venom adaptation.

These generalizations, imposed by the Lorentz transformations, affect both the definition of the various physical observables (e.g. momentum, energy, etc), as well as the mathematical apparatus of the theory. Here, following the general lines of [Phys. Rev. E {\bf 66}, 056125 (2002)], we show that the Lorentz transformations impose also a proper one-parameter generalization of the classical Boltzmann-Gibbs-Shannon entropy. The obtained relativistic entropy permits to construct a coherent and selfconsistent relativistic statistical theory, preserving the main features of the ordinary statistical theory, which recovers in the classical limit. The predicted distribution function is a one-parameter continuous deformation of the classical Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution and has a simple analytic form, showing power law tails in accordance with the experimental evidence. Furthermore the new statistical mechanics can be obtained as stationary case of a generalized kinetic theory governed by an evolution equation obeying the H-theorem and reproducing the Boltzmann equation of the ordinary kinetics in the classical limit.

description: Red or Green? Traditionally, Australian progressives have supported the Australian Labor Party; increasingly, the Greens appeal. What are the key differences between the parties? Is greater collaboration desirable? Is it likely? Some progressives remain strongly committed to Labor or the Greens. Others have abandoned one or other of the parties from bitter experience. Others still are genuinely undecided, or seek to promote greater understanding and cooperation. What is the best way forward? This volume brings together a range of party leaders, veterans, and academic experts to tackle these important questions. Deliberately pluralistic, it encompasses strongly divergent views. Dedicated to progressive change, it aims both to capture and to advance a vital public debate. Featuring essays from Carmen Lawrence, Scott Ludlam, Van Badham, Adam Bandt, Felicity Wade, Peter Van Onselen, Andrew Giles, Ellen Sandell, Andrew Leigh, David Mejia-Canales, James Tierney, Shaun Wilson, Simon Copland, Nicholas Barry, Stewart Jackson and Narelle Miragliotta.

description: From Ferranti to Faculty tells the story of the foundation of the first faculty dedicated to computing and information technology in Australia. Covering the period from the late 1950s until 1990, when the Faculty of Computing and Information Technology at Monash University was formed, it spans the establishment phase of the discipline of computing. During this time, this field of study was developing and changing at a rapid rate, arguably faster than any new discipline in the past. This created enormous challenges and difficulties, as well as wonderful opportunities. These opportunities were seized upon by visionary people both at Caulfield Institute of Technology (later Chisholm Institute of Technology) and at Monash University. In many ways From Ferranti to Faculty is about these people - the influence they had on the development of computing in Australia and on the establishment of the faculty. From Ferranti to Faculty traces the foundation and establishment of Monash University's Faculty of Computing and Information Technology, known today as the Faculty of Information Technology. It explores the emergence of computing and computer science as new, stand-alone disciplines in the tertiary sector. The history of higher education in Australia provides the backdrop to this story, as does the history of Monash University and the various institutions that occupied what is now the Caulfield campus of Monash University.

description: The cleaner’s cupboard at the old Moe Hospital is the now legendary birth place of what became the Monash University School of Rural Health. This is the fascinating history of the formation of Australia’s first multidisciplinary rural health academic unit in 1992 and its evolution into a school with a footprint stretching across Victoria from Mildura to Lakes Entrance. The story is told through multiple voices, from insiders and outsiders, that together create a collage of depth and sometimes unexpected harmonics. Many of the authors are themselves recognised as pivotal to the ‘rural health revolution’. The twenty years since 1992 have seen a wave of changes in rural health, a wave that rural health at Monash has been surfing since the beginning. These pages relive that ride.
Stochastic modelling of a noise driven global instability in a turbulent swirling jet

description: A method is developed to estimate the properties of a global hydrodynamic instability in turbulent flows from measurement data of the limit-cycle oscillations. For this purpose, the flow dynamics are separated in deterministic contributions representing the global mode and a stochastic contribution representing the intrinsic turbulent forcing. Stochastic models are developed that account for the interaction between the two and that allow determining the dynamic properties of the flow from stationary data. The deterministic contributions are modelled by an amplitude equation, which describes the oscillatory dynamics of the instability, and in a second approach by a mean-field model, which additionally captures the interaction between the instability and the mean-flow corrections. The stochastic contributions are considered as coloured noise forcing, representing the spectral characteristics of the stochastic turbulent perturbations. The methodology is applied to a turbulent swirling jet with a dominant global mode. PIV measurements are conducted to ensure that the mode is the most dominant coherent structure and further pressure measurements provide long time series for the model calibration. The supercritical Hopf bifurcation is identified from the linear growthrate of the global mode and the excellent agreement between measured and estimated statistics suggest that the model captures the relevant dynamics. This work demonstrates that the sole observation of limit-cycle oscillations is not sufficient to determine the stability of turbulent flows since the stochastic perturbations obscure the actual bifurcation point. However, the proposed separation of deterministic and stochastic contributions in the dynamical model allows identifying the flow sate from stationary measurements.
"Ain’t gonna let nobody turn me round" -- the Southwest Georgia freedom movement and the politics of empowerment
Creators: name: Harrison, Alisa
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: In the early 1960s, African-American residents of southwest Georgia cooperated with organizers from the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) to launch a freedom movement that would attempt to battle white supremacy and bring all Americans closer to their country's democratic ideals. Movement participants tried to overcome the fear ingrained in them by daily life in the Jim Crow South, and to reconstruct American society from within. Working within a tradition of black insurgency, participants attempted to understand the origins of the intimidation and powerlessness that they often felt, and to form a strong community based on mutual respect, equality, and trust. Black women played fundamental roles in shaping this movement and African-American resistance patterns more generally, and struggles such as the southwest Georgia movement reveal the ways in which black people have identified themselves as American citizens, equated citizenship with political participation, and reinterpreted American democratic traditions along more just and inclusive lines. This thesis begins with a narrative of the movement. It then moves on to discuss SNCC's efforts to build community solidarity and empower African-American residents of southwest Georgia, and to consider the notion that SNCC owed its success to the activism of local women and girls. Next, it proposes that in the southwest Georgia movement there was no clear distinction between public and private space and work, and it suggests that activism in the movement emerged from traditional African-American patterns of family and community organization. Finally, this thesis asserts that the mass jail-ins for which the movement became famous redefined and empowered the movement community. This analysis reconsiders the analytical categories with which scholars generally study social movements. Instead of employing a linear narrative structure that emphasizes formal political activity and specific tactical victories, this thesis suggests that political participation takes diverse forms and it highlights the cycles of community building and individual empowerment that characterize grassroots organizing. It underscores the sheer difficulty of initiating and sustaining a mass struggle, and argues that the prerequisite to forming an insurgent movement is the ability of individuals to envision alternative social and cultural possibilities.

description: In the last decade, a fundamental phenomenon came to the fore in the business environment: more and more companies are offering total solutions to their customer instead of standardized products or services. Although this trend has already been studied extensively in literature, little has been said about the impact of this phenomenon on the supplier's channel management. This article develops propositions concerning the influence of a total solutions strategy on a company's channel management, rooted on an extensive literature review and case-based research in the Belgian industrial market.

description: What woman forgets the moment of discovering her first period? The shock? Fear? Panic? Loathing? Embarrassment? Pride? Happiness? First Blood examines the ways in which women from countries as diverse as India and Sri Lanka, England, the Philippines, Greece, Italy, Uganda, Indonesia, Fiji, Chile, Ukraine, Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong, recall this moment of menarche and what it meant to them, their families, and their societies. What is the mystique of women’s first blood? Blood is blood – or is it? What is the history of blood, particularly women’s blood, and does this history belong to women? Who created the meanings associated with menarche, and why? Are ideas basically the same for every woman or are there marked cultural differences? Have meanings changed significantly over time and if they have, why? First Blood answers these questions and investigates beliefs and traditions surrounding menarche, including the concepts of uncleanness, of ceremony, of secrecy, and lore still existing in many parts of the world. The influence of science and technology in the development of the sanitary hygiene industry is traced, together with the role of the pharmaceutical industry in making menstruation an optional event.
