Behavioural and biological responses of Australian water dragons (Intellagama lesueurii) to urbanization

description: One of the strongest driving forces of evolution is environmental change. Within the modern era, some of the most rapid environmental change has occurred as a result of urbanisation. As such, recent research aims to understand how species are adapting to urban landscapes (urban evolution) and how natural selection is operating in unnatural environments (anthropic selection). This goal was the cornerstone of my thesis research, using Australian water dragons (Intellagama lesueurii) to examine how the selective forces within urban environments may shape their natural histories and alter their evolutionary trajectory. I took a multidisciplinary approach to explore water dragon urban evolution, by examining traits related to their behavioural ecology (social interactions and spatial organisation, behavioural traits, and innate antipredator responses; Chapters I, II, & III respectively), morphology (body length and size; Chapter IV), and physiology (performance capacity; Chapters V & VI), using both field observations and laboratory experiments. The basis of most of this thesis' research involved contrasting traits of lizards living in, or originating from, populations varying in their levels of urbanisation (urban, semi-natural, and natural). I also examined the mechanisms that may have caused urban-derived divergence of morphological and behavioural traits (i.e., heritable traits vs phenotypic plasticity). My research identified several urban-derived divergent phenotypes, including increased rates of aggressive encounters, increased boldness, decreased body size paired with increased limb and head size, and decreased endurance capacity. My research also identified that both divergent behavioural (boldness) and morphological (body length and size) traits have a genetic origin, suggesting they are heritable and may be adaptive. Overall, this thesis provides insight into the urban evolution of water dragons in the Sydney region, and provides a framework for using a multidisciplinary approach to rigorously examine mechanistic urban ecology and evolution.

description: A mechanical diamond, a classical mechanics of a spring-mass model arrayed on a diamond lattice, is discussed topologically. Its frequency dispersion possesses an intrinsic nodal structure in the three-dimensional Brillouin zone (BZ) protected by the chiral symmetry. Topological changes of the line nodes are demonstrated associated with modification of the tension. The line nodes projected into two-dimensional BZ form loops which are characterized by the quantized Zak phases by 0 and $π$. With boundaries, edge states are discussed in relation to the Zak phases and winding numbers. It establishes a bulk-edge correspondence of the mechanical diamond.

description: The development of spintronic emitters of broadband THz pulses relies on designing heterostructures where processes of laser-driven spin current generation and subsequent spin-to-charge current conversion are the most efficient. An interface between ferromagnetic and nonmagnetic layers in the emitter is one of the critical elements. Here, we study experimentally single-cycle THz pulse generation from a laser-pulse excited Pt/Co emitter with a composition gradient interface between Pt and Co and compare it with the emission from a conventional Pt/Co structure with an abrupt interface. We find that the gradient interface enhances the efficiency of optics-to-THz conversion by a factor of two in a wide range of optical fluences up to 3 mJ cm$^{-2}$. We reveal that this enhancement is caused by a pronounced increase in transmittance of the laser-driven spin-polarized current through the gradient interface compared to the abrupt one. Furthermore, we find that such a transmission deteriorates with laser fluence due to the spin accumulation effect.

On the effectiveness of the thermoelectric energy filtering mechanism in low-dimensional superlattices and nano-composites

description: Electron energy filtering has been suggested as a promising way to improve the power factor and enhance the ZT figure of merit of thermoelectric materials. In this work we explore the effect that reduced dimensionality has on the success of the energy-filtering mechanism for power factor enhancement. We use the quantum mechanical non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) method for electron transport including electron-phonon scattering to explore 1D and 2D superlattice/nanocomposite systems. We find that, given identical material parameters, 1D channels utilize energy filtering more effectively than 2D as they: i) allow one to achieve maximal power factor for smaller well sizes / smaller grains (which is needed to maximize phonon scattering), ii) take better advantage of a lower thermal conductivity in the barrier/boundary materials compared to the well/grain materials in both: enhancing the Seebeck coefficient; and in producing a system which is robust against detrimental random deviations from optimal barrier design. In certain cases we find that the relative advantage can be as high as a factor of 3. We determine that energy-filtering is most effective when the average energy of carrier flow varies the most in the wells and the barriers along the channel, an event which appears when the energy of the carrier flow in the host material is low and when the energy relaxation mean-free-path of carriers is short. Although the ultimate reason these aspects, which cause a 1D system to see greater relative improvement than a 2D, is the 1D system's van Hove singularity in the density-of-states, the insights obtained are general and inform energy-filtering design beyond dimensional considerations.
A comparative analysis of the application of Altman (1968) Z-score and Ohlson (1980) O-score predcition models to Hong Kong public listed companies, and the impact of cash conversion cycle and non-financial variables on predicting business failure

description: The bankruptcy prediction models most frequently used in empirical research of business failure are the Altman (1968) and Ohlson (1980) models. The predictive accuracy of both models, developed using US data, has been repeatedly tested and compared using data of different countries. However, no published studies have compared these models using Hong Kong data, nor have they explored how cash conversion cycle and HIBOR rate are connected with business failure, despite evidence that liquidity and non-financial variables affect failure prediction. This study examined the applicability of the Altman (1968) and Ohlson (1980) models in predicting business failure using data from Hong Kong public listed companies. It also tested whether adjusting the cutoff points (points determined by scorings that classified companies as failed or non-failed) improved the models’ accuracy, and compared the accuracy of the two models. Finally, it examined the effects of cash conversion cycle and some non-financial variables including change of auditor and change of HIBOR interest rate, on predicting business failure. The sample comprised 234 Hong Kong public-listed companies: 39 failed companies that had been delisted from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange between 1998 and 2011, and 195 non-failed public listed companies that were not delisted during the same time period. Financial data were obtained from the Standard and Poor (S&P) Capital IQ and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEx) database. Both the Altman and Ohlson models achieved an overall predictive accuracy significantly greater than 50 per cent of the total sample for each of the three years prior to delisting. The Ohlson (1980) model was relatively superior to the Altman model in making overall correct classifications of the non-failed companies publicly listed in the HKEx. This study is the first to find that cash conversion cycle and HIBOR interest rate are significantly correlated to business failure when data of Hong Kong public-listed companies are applied.

description: In the setting of essentially non-branching metric measure spaces, we prove the equivalence between the curvature dimension condition CD(K,N), in the sense of Lott--Sturm--Villani, and a newly introduced notion that we call strong Brunn--Minkowski inequality SBM(K,N). This condition is a reinforcement of the generalized Brunn--Minkowski inequality BM(K,N), which is known to hold in CD(K,N) spaces. Our result is a first step towards providing a full equivalence between the CD(K,N) condition and the validity of BM(K,N), which we have recently proved in the framework of weighted Riemannian manifolds.

description: It is a classical theorem that the free product of ordered groups is orderable. In this note we show that, using a method of G. Bergman, an ordering of the free product can be constructed in a functorial manner, in the category of ordered groups and order-preserving homomorphisms. With this functor interpreted as a tensor product this category becomes a tensor (or monoidal) category. Moreover, if $O(G)$ denotes the space of orderings of the group $G$ with the natural topology, then for fixed groups $F$ and $G$ our construction can be considered a function $O(F) \times O(G) \to O(F * G)$. We show that this function is continuous and injective. Similar results hold for left-ordered groups.

description: In this note, we exhibit a three dimensional structure that permits to guide waves. This structure is obtained by a geometrical perturbation of a 3D periodic domain that consists of a three dimensional grating of equi-spaced thin pipes oriented along three orthogonal directions. Homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions are imposed on the boundary of the domain. The diameter of the section of the pipes, of order $ε$ \textgreater{} 0, is supposed to be small. We prove that, for $ε$ small enough, shrinking the section of one line of the grating by a factor of $\sqrt$ $μ$ (0 \textless{} $μ$ \textless{} 1) creates guided modes that propagate along the perturbed line. Our result relies on the asymptotic analysis (with respect to $ε$) of the spectrum of the Laplace-Neumann operator in this structure. Indeed, as $ε$ tends to 0, the domain tends to a periodic graph, and the spectrum of the associated limit operator can be computed explicitly.

description: We present a study of the effective (half-light) radii and other structural properties of a systematically selected sample of young, massive star clusters (YMCs, $\geq$$5\times10^3$ M$_{\odot}$ and $\leq$200 Myr) in two nearby spiral galaxies, NGC 628 and NGC 1313. We use Hubble Space Telescope WFC3/UVIS and archival ACS/WFC data obtained by the Legacy Extragalactic UV Survey (LEGUS), an HST Treasury Program. We measure effective radii with GALFIT, a two-dimensional image-fitting package, and with a new technique to estimate effective radii from the concentration index (CI) of observed clusters. The distribution of effective radii from both techniques spans $\sim$0.5-10 pc and peaks at 2-3 pc for both galaxies. We find slight positive correlations between effective radius and cluster age in both galaxies, but no significant relationship between effective radius and galactocentric distance. Clusters in NGC 1313 display a mild increase in effective radius with cluster mass, but the trend disappears when the sample is divided into age bins. We show that the vast majority of the clusters in both galaxies are much older than their dynamical times, suggesting they are gravitationally bound objects. We find that about half of the clusters in NGC 628 are underfilling their Roche lobes, based on their Jacobi radii. Our results suggest that the young, massive clusters in NGC 628 and NGC 1313 are expanding due to stellar mass loss or two-body relaxation and are not significantly influenced by the tidal fields of their host galaxies.

description: A robust finite volume method for viscoelastic flow analysis on general unstructured meshes is developed. It is built upon a general-purpose stabilization framework for high Weissenberg number flows. The numerical framework provides full combinatorial flexibility between different kinds of rheological models on the one hand, and effective stabilization methods on the other hand. A special emphasis is put on the velocity-stress-coupling on co-located computational grids. Using special face interpolation techniques, a semi-implicit stress interpolation correction is proposed to correct the cell-face interpolation of the stress in the divergence operator of the momentum balance. Investigating the entry-flow problem of the 4:1 contraction benchmark, we demonstrate that the numerical methods are robust over a wide range of Weissenberg numbers and significantly alleviate the high Weissenberg number problem. The accuracy of the results is evaluated in a detailed mesh convergence study.

description: This paper examines the limit properties of information criteria (such as AIC, BIC, HQIC) for distinguishing between the unit root model and the various kinds of explosive models. The explosive models include the local-to-unit-root model, the mildly explosive model and the regular explosive model. Initial conditions with different order of magnitude are considered. Both the OLS estimator and the indirect inference estimator are studied. It is found that BIC and HQIC, but not AIC, consistently select the unit root model when data come from the unit root model. When data come from the local-to-unit-root model, both BIC and HQIC select the wrong model with probability approaching 1 while AIC has a positive probability of selecting the right model in the limit. When data come from the regular explosive model or from the mildly explosive model in the form of $1+n^{α}/n$ with $α\in (0,1)$, all three information criteria consistently select the true model. Indirect inference estimation can increase or decrease the probability for information criteria to select the right model asymptotically relative to OLS, depending on the information criteria and the true model. Simulation results confirm our asymptotic results in finite sample.

The production and perception of coda glottalisation in Australian English
Creators: name: Penney, Joshua James
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Previous research suggests that glottalisation is a cue to voiceless coda stops in Australian English and may be a recent change to the variety. In this thesis, we examine glottalisation in production and perception by Australian English speaker/listeners. We first consider coda glottalisation in the production of unstressed syllables, with the results confirming previous findings that glottalisation signals coda voicelessness and is more frequent in younger rather than older speakers, supporting suggestions of recent change. We then examine how perception of coda stop voicing is affected by glottalisation, finding that glottalisation facilitates increased perception of coda voicelessness, and that older and younger listeners perceive glottalisation similarly, despite differences in production. In a following study we show that listeners are perceptually sensitive to glottalisation, and do not merely perceive shorter modally voiced vowels when glottalisation is present. We examine glottalisation in production in different phrase positions to disentangle its effects from those of phrase final creaky voice, demonstrating that the effects of glottalisation do indeed occur independently of creaky voice. We also find that glottalisation is more frequent in pre-consonantal environments rather than pre-vocalic environments, and that younger speakers employ glottalisation more often than older speakers, particularly in pre-vocalic environments, indicating a possible progression of change Finally, we examine links between production and perception at the individual level. Although we find no consistent pattern between perception and production of glottalisation, we observe that a subset of individuals are progressive in both modalities and may be the drivers of change. This thesis thus contributes to our understanding of glottalisation, its use in production and perception, and its spread in Australian English. More generally, it advances our understanding of the cues that contribute to the phonological coda stop voicing contrast in English.
Influence of confining gluon configurations on the $P\toγ^*γ$ transition form factors

description: Transition form factors $F_{Pγ^*γ^{(*)}}$ of pseudoscalar mesons are studied within the framework of the domain model of confinement, chiral symmetry breaking and hadronization. In this model, the QCD vacuum is described by the statistical ensemble of domain wall networks which represents the almost everywhere homogeneous Abelian (anti-)self-dual gluon field configurations. Calculations of the form factors are performed consistently with mass spectra of light, heavy-light and double-heavy mesons, their weak and strong decay constants. Influence of the nonperturbative intermediate range gluon fields on asymptotic behaviour of pion transition form factor is of particular interest, as it can potentially lead to the growth of $Q^2F_{πγ^*γ}(Q^2)$. It is found that $Q^2F_{πγ^*γ}(Q^2)$ approaches a constant value at asymptotically large $Q^2$. However, this limit differs from the standard factorization bound, though for pion form factor complies with Belle data more likely than with BaBar ones. At the same time the generally accepted factorization bound is shown to be satisfied for the case of the symmetric kinematics, $Q^2F_{Pγ^*γ^*}(Q^2)$. Peculiarities of description of $η$, $η'$ and $η_c$ form factors within the model are discussed in detail.

description: We present the results of electrical transport measurements of La$_{1.85}$Sr$_{0.15}$Cu$_{1-y}$Ni$_{y}$O$_{4}$ thin single-crystal films at magnetic fields up to 9 T. Adding Ni impurity with strong Coulomb scattering potential to slightly underdoped cuprate makes the signs of resistivity saturation at $ρ_{sat}$ visible in the measurement temperature window up to 350 K. Employing the parallel-resistor formalism reveals that $ρ_{sat}$ is consistent with classical Ioffe-Regel-Mott limit and changes with carrier concentration $n$ as $ρ_{sat}\propto 1/\sqrt{n}$. Thermopower measurements show that Ni tends to localize mobile carriers, decreasing their effective concentration as $n\!\cong0.15\!-\!y$. The classical unmodified Kohler's rule is fulfilled for magnetoresistance in the nonsuperconducting part of the phase diagram when applied to the ideal branch in the parallel-resistor model.

description: The present tutorial provides an overview of the time-dependent configuration interaction singles (\acs{TDCIS}) scheme applied to nonlinear ionization over a broad photon-energy range. The efficient propagation of the wave function and the calculation of photoelectron spectra within this approach are described and demonstrated in various applications. Above-threshold ionization of argon and xenon in the extreme ultraviolet energy range is investigated as an example. A particular focus is put on the xenon $4d$ giant dipole resonance and the information that nonlinear ionization can provide about resonance substructure. Furthermore, above-threshold ionization is studied in the x-ray regime and the intensity regime, at which multiphoton ionization starts to play a role at hard x-ray photon energies, is identified.

description: Although recent Siamese network-based trackers have achieved impressive perceptual accuracy for single object tracking in LiDAR point clouds, they usually utilized heavy correlation operations to capture category-level characteristics only, and overlook the inherent merit of arbitrariness in contrast to multiple object tracking. In this work, we propose a radically novel one-stream network with the strength of the instance-level encoding, which avoids the correlation operations occurring in previous Siamese network, thus considerably reducing the computational effort. In particular, the proposed method mainly consists of a Template-aware Transformer Module (TTM) and a Multi-scale Feature Aggregation (MFA) module capable of fusing spatial and semantic information. The TTM stitches the specified template and the search region together and leverages an attention mechanism to establish the information flow, breaking the previous pattern of independent \textit{extraction-and-correlation}. As a result, this module makes it possible to directly generate template-aware features that are suitable for the arbitrary and continuously changing nature of the target, enabling the model to deal with unseen categories. In addition, the MFA is proposed to make spatial and semantic information complementary to each other, which is characterized by reverse directional feature propagation that aggregates information from shallow to deep layers. Extensive experiments on KITTI and nuScenes demonstrate that our method has achieved considerable performance not only for class-specific tracking but also for class-agnostic tracking with less computation and higher efficiency.

description: Catalytic swimmers have attracted much attention as alternatives to biological systems for examining collective microscopic dynamics and the response to physico-chemical signals. Yet, understanding and predicting even the most fundamental characteristics of their individual propulsion still raises important challenges. While chemical asymmetry is widely recognized as the cornerstone of catalytic propulsion, different experimental studies have reported that particles with identical chemical properties may propel in opposite directions. Here, we show that, beyond its chemical properties, the detailed shape of a catalytic swimmer plays an essential role in determining its direction of motion, demonstrating the compatibility of the classical theoretical framework with experimental observations.

description: In the present paper, we examine a Crouzeix-Raviart approximation for non-linear partial differential equations having a $(p,δ)$-structure for some $p\in (1,\infty)$ and $δ\ge 0$. We establish a priori error estimates, which are optimal for all $p\in (1,\infty)$ and $δ\ge 0$, medius error estimates, i.e., best-approximation results, and a primal-dual a posteriori error estimate, which is both reliable and efficient. The theoretical findings are supported by numerical experiments.

description: Fruit flies are significant horticultural pests in many countries, including Australia. Organophosphate insecticides have been typically used to control fruit fly infestation, however these compounds have been banned in recent years, hence the development of alternative control methods is of paramount importance. In this study, the chemical profiles for males and females of three pest species in Australia, Bactrocera frauenfeldi, B. kraussi and B. musae, were investigated. Compounds were identified from rectal gland extracts and headspace collections, and confirmed by comparison of GC retention times and MS fragmentation patterns to authentic samples. In total, 27 compounds were preliminarily identified in the chemical profiles, and 17 were confirmed by comparison to authentic samples. Across all species, and both sexes, three main chemical classes were present: esters, spiroacetals, and acetamides. Also, a larger number of compounds were identified in rectal gland extracts than headspace collections. Females typically produced a wider range of compounds, including acetamides, spiroacetals and esters, with the latter being the major components. Males typically produced one major component, usually a spiroacetal, and had additional minor components. The only exception was males of B. musae, who were found to produce a range of compounds in their chemical profile, predominantly esters.

description: Solar flares are sudden and violent releases of magnetic energy in the solar atmosphere that can be divided in eruptive flares, when plasma is ejected from the solar atmosphere, resulting in a coronal mass ejection (CME), and confined flares when no CME is associated with the flare. We present a case-study showing the evolution of key topological structures, such as spines and fans which may determine the eruptive versus non-eruptive behavior of the series of eruptive flares, followed by confined flares, which are all originating from the same site. To study the connectivity of the different flux domains and their evolution, we compute a potential magnetic field model of the active region. Quasi-separatrix layers are retrieved from the magnetic field extrapolation. The change of behavior of the flares from one day to the next -eruptive to confined- can be attributed to the change of orientation of the magnetic field below the fan with respect to the orientation of the overlaying spine, rather than an overall change in the stability of the large scale field. Flares tend to be more-and-more confined when the field that supports the filament and the overlying field gradually become less-and-less anti-parallel, as a direct result of changes in the photospheric flux distribution, being themselves driven by continuous shearing motions of the different magnetic flux concentrations.

MATLAB simulation of an OFDM communication system

description: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is widely used technology in the wireless communication environment because of its effective techniques in mitigating the multipath problem. OFDM is one of the most popular tecnologies in the communications systems fiel;d due to the high performance that it provides without getting distortion from inter-symbol-interference (ISI). In the past, however, multicarrier transmission was distorted by inter-carrier-interface because the subcarrier was non-overlapping to avoid this phenomenon, which can negatively affect the performance of the system. On the other hand, the OFDM system is now playing an important role in the multicarrier transmission environment because of the orthogonality that OFDM carriers provide, which can prevent the inter carrier interface to occur as the subcarriers overlap in frequency domains. Furthermore, four simulations have been finalised in this project in order to test and compare the achievable performance over different fading and noise channels. Lastly, this report will outline and discuss the outcome of this project, as well as comparing the simulation results with different modulation schemes.
