title: Graduate Preparedness for the Transition to Teaching: An Examination of Predictors of Transitional Difficulties during the First Year of Employment
Creators: name: Yates, Kelley Anne
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Transition to work
subject: Teachers, preparedness for work
subject: Theories of person-environment fit
subject: Teachers expectations and competency

description: This thesis focused on the transition from university education to the first year of teaching. This may be a difficult transition, with several researchers reporting that 20% to 25% of newly qualified teachers do not teach beyond the first five years (Fimian & Blanton, 1987; Goddard & O'Brien, 2003a; Keeffe, Patton, & Spooner-Lane, 2005; Mackel, 2002; Stevens, Parker, & Burroughs, 2007), and that some teachers may experience symptoms of burnout after just eight months of employment (Fimian & Blanton, 1987; Goddard & O'Brien, 2003a, 2003b, 2006; O'Brien, O'Keeffe, & Goddard, 2008). The aim of this thesis was to examine graduate preparedness for teaching, and identify a set of skills and personal resources that may ameliorate burnout and turnover intentions during the first year of employment. Theories of Person-Environment Fit, along with the adaptation approach to stress, were adopted as conceptual frameworks for the thesis, and possible determinants of Demands-Abilities and Supplies-Values Fit were examined as resources that may enhance graduate preparedness and prevent burnout and turnover intentions. More specifically, graduates‟ perceptions of their own competency (perceived competency), their teaching self-efficacy and the training pathways they had followed to obtain their qualifications were considered as factors that may enhance Demands-Abilities Fit; while the graduates‟ sense of commitment to their careers (career commitment), their expectations regarding the rewards associated with teaching (reward expectations) and their expectations of the difficulties they would face in the workplace (challenge expectations) were considered as factors that may impact on Supplies-Values Fit.

description: Ambitious policies for limiting climate change require strong public support. But the public’s appetite for such policies, as currently observed in most countries, is rather limited. One possibility for enhancing public support could be to shift the main justification in the public policy discourse on greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation from benefits of reducing climate change risks (the conventional justification) to other types of benefits. Technological innovation and green jobs, community building, and health benefits are widely discussed candidates. The intuition is that re-framing GHG mitigation efforts and their benefits in such terms could make them more personally relevant and more emotionally engaging and appealing to citizens. However, based on results from two survey embedded experiments (combined N=1664), and in contrast to some earlier studies, we conclude that simple re-framing of climate policy is unlikely to increase public support, and outline reasons for this finding. As the added value of other justifications remains unclear at best and potentially nil, sticking to climate risk reduction as the dominant justification seems worthwhile.

description: We report on detailed Monte Carlo inversion analysis of the Lyman limit system observed at z = 2.917 in the VLT/UVES spectrum of the quasar HE 0940-1050. Metal absorption lines of carbon and silicon in three ionization stages and numerous atomic hydrogen lines have been analyzed simultaneously. It is found that in order to match the observations, the shape of the ultraviolet background ionizing spectrum of Haardt & Madau (1996) should be modified: a spectrum with a higher intensity of the emission feature at 3 Ryd is required. It is also found that synthetic galactic spectra (or different mixtures of them with power law spectra) cannot reproduce the observations, indicating that the stellar contribution to the ionizing background is negligible at z ~= 3. For the first time a very low carbon abundance of [C/H] = -2.93+/-0.13 and the abundance ratio [Si/C] = 0.35+/-0.15 are directly measured in the Lyman limit system with N(H I) = 3.2 10^{17} cm^{-2}. If the absorber at z = 2.917 provides an example of a pristine gas enriched by the nucleosynthetic products of early generations of stars, then the measured value of [Si/C] seems to indicate that the initial mass functions for these stellar populations are constrained to intermediate masses, M_up <= 25M_solar.

description: The role of radiation pressure in shaping exoplanet photoevaporation remains a topic of contention. Radiation pressure from the exoplanet's host star has been proposed as a mechanism to drive the escaping atmosphere into a "cometary" tail and explain the high velocities observed in systems where mass loss is occurring. In this paper we present results from high-resolution 3-D hydrodynamic simulations of a planet similar to HD 209458b. We self-consistently launch a wind flowing outward from the planet by calculating the ionization and heating resulting from incident high-energy radiation, and account for radiation pressure. We first present a simplified calculation, setting a limit on the Lyman-$α$ flux required to drive the photo-evaporated planetary material to larger radii and line-of-sight velocities. We then present the results of our simulations, which confirm the limits determined by our analytic calculation. We thus demonstrate that, within the limits of our hydrodynamic simulation and for the Lyman-$α$ fluxes expected for HD 209458, radiation pressure is unlikely to significantly affect photoevaporative winds or to explain the high velocities at which wind material is observed, though further possibilities remain to be investigated.

description: The assumptions underpinning the adiabatic Born-Oppenheimer (BO) approximation are broken for molecules interacting with attosecond laser pulses, which generate complicated coupled electronic-nuclear wavepackets that generally will have components of electronic and dissociation continua as well as bound-state contributions. The conceptually most straightforward way to overcome this challenge is to treat the electronic and nuclear degrees of freedom on equal quantum-mechanical footing by not invoking the BO approximation at all. Explicitly correlated Gaussian (ECG) basis functions have proved successful for non-BO calculations of stationary molecular states and energies, reproducing rovibrational absorption spectra with very high accuracy. In this paper, we present a proof-of-principle study of the ability of fully flexible ECGs (FFECGs) to capture the intricate electronic and rovibrational dynamics generated by short, high-intensity laser pulses. By fitting linear combinations of FFECGs to accurate wave function histories obtained on a large real-space grid for a regularized 2D model of the hydrogen atom and for the 2D Morse potential we demonstrate that FFECGs provide a very compact description of laser-driven electronic and rovibrational dynamics.

description: Purpose: To evaluate the optical quality of highly myopic eyes under light and dark conditions and correlate it with other relevant parameters. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, observational study was performed on 180 eyes of 90 highly myopic patients (29 males and 61 females; mean age: 27.833 ± 0.364 years [range: 18–45 years]). The modulation transfer function (MTF) cutoff frequency, Strehl ratio, objective scattering index (OSI), and predicted visual acuity (PVA; 100%, 20%, and 9%) under different lighting conditions were measured to evaluate the optical quality, which was correlated with probable relevant factors, including, axis length, spherical equivalent (SE), uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), best-corrected distance visual acuity (BDVA), astigmatism, and corneal curvature. The relationship between these visual parameters and optical quality was analyzed using a generalized linear model. Results: The OSIs were 1.241 ± 0.068 and 1.515 ± 0.076; the MTF cutoff frequencies were 37.725 ± 0.559 and 30.238 ± 0.550 cpd; the Strehl ratios were 0.219 ± 0.004 and 0.175 ± 0.003; and the PVAs at 100%, 20%, and 9% were 1.257 ± 0.019 and 1.001 ± 0.018, 0.949 ± 0.017 and 0.719 ± 0.015, and 0.579 ± 0.011 and 0.439 ± 0.010, under bright and dark conditions respectively. The optical quality parameters were correlated with age, SE, BDVA, corneal astigmatism, and curvature to different degrees under different lighting conditions. Conclusions: The optical quality declined in highly myopic eyes under both bright and dark lighting conditions. SE, BDVA, corneal astigmatism, and curvature were correlated with optical quality to different degrees under different lighting conditions.
title: Dynamic Assessment of Coastal Vulnerability and Adaptation to Sea Level Rise: An Integrated Spatial-Temporal Decision Making Approach

Subjects: subject: Global warming

description: As the globe continues to warm, coastal communities across the world will increasingly be faced with rising sea levels, as well as changes in storm surge frequency and magnitude. Significantly, most infrastructure, settlements and facilities are located near the coast. While coastal communities have benefitted from the many advantages of living and working in these areas, inevitably they also face the threat of natural disasters. With concern for the consequences of sea level rise (SLR) and associated storm surge (SS), the primary, and most urgent topics for decision makers are the assessment of vulnerability and the evaluation of adaptation measures. However, due to uncertainty in climate change predictions, many vulnerability and adaptation assessments and most town planning activities, which are based on an the assumption that the sea level will remain stable in the future, are in a state of flux. Added to the dilemma is the realisation that the impacts of SLR will, most likely, be spatially non-uniform across the world. It is therefore essential for decision-makers to consider the dynamic and spatial characteristics of these changes in assessing the impacts of SLR when making decisions about future infrastructure and community life.

description: Model compression has become necessary when applying neural networks (NN) into many real application tasks that can accept slightly-reduced model accuracy with strict tolerance to model complexity. Recently, Knowledge Distillation, which distills the knowledge from well-trained and highly complex teacher model into a compact student model, has been widely used for model compression. However, under the strict requirement on the resource cost, it is quite challenging to achieve comparable performance with the teacher model, essentially due to the drastically-reduced expressiveness ability of the compact student model. Inspired by the nature of the expressiveness ability in Neural Networks, we propose to use multi-segment activation, which can significantly improve the expressiveness ability with very little cost, in the compact student model. Specifically, we propose a highly efficient multi-segment activation, called Light Multi-segment Activation (LMA), which can rapidly produce multiple linear regions with very few parameters by leveraging the statistical information. With using LMA, the compact student model is capable of achieving much better performance effectively and efficiently, than the ReLU-equipped one with same model scale. Furthermore, the proposed method is compatible with other model compression techniques, such as quantization, which means they can be used jointly for better compression performance. Experiments on state-of-the-art NN architectures over the real-world tasks demonstrate the effectiveness and extensibility of the LMA.

description: The paper provides historical perspectives on regional economic inequalities in Brazil making use of a database on Brazilian municipalities from 1872 to 2000. A suit of maps and graphs describe the geographic forces shaping the historical development of the Brazilian economy highlighting the role of transport costs, and its consequences for the spatial dynamics of income per capita and labor productivity. The next section estimates econometric models of growth convergence for municipal income per capita and labor. For the 20th century analyses are refined in two ways: first, by disaggregating the models for urban and rural activities; second, by enlarging the model to take account of the determinants of spatial growth convergence. Empirical results endorse the preeminence of geographic factors in contrast to institutional conditions. The final section summarizes the results and proposes research extensions. The Appendix describes the database.
A New Method to Measure and Map the Gas Scale-Height of Disk Galaxies

description: We propose a new method to measure and map the gas scale height of nearby disk galaxies. This method is applied successfully to the Australia Telescope Compact Array interferometric HI survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC); it could also be applied to a significant number of nearby disk galaxies, thanks to the next generation of interferometric facilities, such as the extended VLA and CARMA. The method consists of computing the Spectral Correlation Function (SCF) for a spectral-line map of a face-on galaxy. The SCF quantifies the correlation between spectra at different map positions as a function of their separation, and is sensitive to the properties of both the gas mass distribution and the gas velocity field. It is likely that spatial correlation properties of the gas density and velocity fields in a galactic disk are sensitive to the value of the scale height of the gas disk. A scale-free turbulent cascade is unlikely to extend to scales much larger than the disk scale height, as the disk dynamics on those larger scales should be dominated by two dimensional motions. We find a clear feature in the SCF of the LMC HI disk, on the scale of approximately 180 pc, which we identify as the disk scale height. We are also tentatively able to map variations of the scale height over the disk.

description: In [arXiv:1906.10100], the authors argued that the Newman-Janis algorithm on the space of classical solutions in general relativity and electromagnetism could be used in the space of scattering amplitudes to map an amplitude with external scalar states to an amplitude associated to the scattering of "infinite spin particles". The minimal coupling of these particles to the gravitational or Maxwell field is equivalent to the classical coupling of the Kerr black hole with linearized gravity or the so-called $\sqrt{\text{Kerr}}$ charged state with the electromagnetic field. The action of the Newman-Janis mapping on scattering amplitudes was then used to compute the linear impulse at first post-Minkowskian (1PM) order, via the Kosower, Maybee, O'Connell (KMOC) formalism. In this paper, we continue with the idea of using the Newman-Janis mapping on the space of scalar QED amplitudes to compute classical observables such as the radiative gauge field and the angular impulse. We show that for tree-level amplitudes, the Newman-Janis action can be reinterpreted as a dressing of the photon propagator. This turns out to be an efficient way to compute these classical observables. Along the way, we highlight a subtlety that arises in proving the conservation of angular momentum for scalar -$\sqrt{\text{Kerr}}$ scattering.

Competitive Suppression of Synchronization and Non-Monotonic Transitions in Oscillator Communities with Distributed Time Delay

Subjects: subject: Adaptation and Self-Organizing Systems (nlin.AO)

description: Community structure and interaction delays are common features of ensembles of network coupled oscillators, but their combined effect on the emergence of synchronization has not been studied in detail. We study the transitions between macroscopic states in coupled oscillator systems with community structure and time delays. We show that the combination of these two properties gives rise to non-monotonic transitions, whereby increasing the global coupling strength can both inhibit and promote synchronization, yielding both desynchronization and synchronization transitions. For relatively wide parameter choices we also observe asymmetric suppression of synchronization, where communities compete to suppress one another's synchronization properties until one or more win, totally suppressing the others to effective incoherence. Using the ansatz of Ott and Antonsen we provide analytical descriptions for these transitions that confirm numerical simulations.

description: Logical relations constitute a key method for reasoning about contextual equivalence of programs in higher-order languages. They are usually developed on a per-case basis, with a new theory required for each variation of the language or of the desired notion of equivalence. In the present paper we introduce a general construction of (step-indexed) logical relations at the level of Higher-Order Mathematical Operational Semantics, a highly parametric categorical framework for modeling the operational semantics of higher-order languages. Our main result asserts that for languages whose weak operational model forms a lax bialgebra, the logical relation is automatically sound for contextual equivalence. Our abstract theory is shown to instantiate to combinatory logics and $λ$-calculi with recursive types, and to different flavours of contextual equivalence.

description: A new type of metal-free catalyst was successfully prepared by doping boron (B) in the carbon nanotube. The catalyst had 99.4% removal of phenol in 60 min at pH 7 by activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS). In order to explore the origin of the high catalytic activity, the samples were characterized by Raman and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and the reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the process of catalytic degradation were investigated. The Raman results showed that the defect sites increased after doping, which indicated that the B doping increases the active sites on the surface of the carbon nanotubes. Identification experiments of ROS found that not only hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and sulfate radical (SO4−∙), but also singlet oxygen (1O2) exist in the system. The presence of multiple free radicals indicated the existence of free radical reaction pathway, and the presence of 1O2 confirmed the existence of non-radical reaction pathway. These results indicated that there were dual reaction pathways for the activation of persulfate by B-doped carbon nanotubes, which was the intrinsic nature for the high catalytic activity of the system.
High Energy Phenomena in Blazars

description: Advances in the capabilities of X-ray, gamma-ray and TeV telescopes have brought new information on the physics of relativistic jets, which are responsible for the blazar "phenomenon". In particular the broad band sensitivity of the BeppoSAX satellite, extending up to 100 KeV has allowed unprecedented studies of their hard X-ray spectra. I summarize here some basic results and present a unified view of the blazar population, whereby all sources contain essentially similar jets despite diversities in other properties, like the presence or absence of emission lines in their optical spectra. Blazars with emission lines are of particular interest in that it is possible to estimate both the luminosity of the jet and the luminosity of the accretion disk. Implications for the origin of the power carried by relativistic jets, possibly involving rapidly spinning supermassive black holes are discussed. We suggest that emission line blazars are accreting at near critical rates, while BL lacs, where emission lines are weak or absent are highly subcritical.

description: In a class of carbon-based materials called polymerized triptycene, which consist of triptycene molecules and phenyls, exotic electronic structures such as Dirac cones and flat bands arise from the kagome-type network. In this paper, we theoretically investigate the tight-binding models for polymerized triptycene, focusing on the origin of flat bands and the topological properties. The mechanism of the existence of the flat bands is elucidated by using the "molecular-orbital" representation, which we have developed in the prior works. Further, we propose that the present material is a promising candidate to realize the two-dimensional second-order topological insulator, which is characterized by the boundary states localized at the corners of the sample. To be concrete, we propose two methods to realize the second-order topological insulator, and elucidate the topological properties of the corresponding models by calculating the corner states as well as the bulk topological invariant, namely the $\mathbb{Z}_3$ Berry phase.

description: Many popular attempts to explain the observed patterns of fermion masses involve a flavon field. Such weakly coupled scalar fields tend to dominate the energy density of the universe before they decay. If the flavon decay happens close to the electroweak transition, the right-handed electrons stay out of equilibrium until the sphalerons shut off. We show that an asymmetry in the right-handed charged leptons produced in the decay of a flavon can explain the baryon asymmetry of the universe.

description: High temperature superconductivity was recently found in the bilayer nickelate $\rm{La}_3 \rm{Ni}_2 \rm{O}_7$ (La327), followed by the discovery of superconductivity in the trilayer $\rm{La}_4 \rm{Ni}_3 \rm{O}_{10}$ (La4310), under high pressure. Through studying the electronic correlation of La4310 with DFT+DMFT, and further comparing it with that of La327, we find that the $e_g$ orbitals of the outer-layer Ni cations in La4310 have a similar (but slightly weaker) electronic correlation to those in La327, in which the electrons behave as a non-Fermi liquid with Hund correlation and linear-in-temperature scattering rate. Our results suggest that the experimentally observed ``strange metal'' behavior may be explained by the Hund spin correlation featuring high spin states and spin-orbital separation. In contrast, the electrons in the inner-layer Ni cations in La4310 behave as a Fermi liquid. The weaker electronic correlation in La4310 is attributed to more hole-doping, which may explain its lower superconducting transition temperature.

description: We examine the merger stage of IRAS 03158+4227, one of the most luminous ULIRGs from the IRAS 2 Jy sample. Deep optical images are presented along with high-resolution NIR images and optical low-resolution spectra. IRAS 03158+4227 is confirmed as a component of an equal-luminosity binary galaxy with a nuclei separation of 47 / (h/75) kpc. A long lopsided tail emanating from the companion, which harbours an active nucleus, is the most prominent peculiar feature of the binary. The results of numerical simulations admit the interpretation of this structure as a product of the tidal interaction between the two components. If the infrared-activity of IRAS 03158+4227 is also dynamically triggered by this process, this would implicate that the ULIRG phenomenon is not restricted to the final stage of a binary merger. Alternatively, the system may be a multiple merger where the partner(s) has/have already coalesced.

title: Intervening in Tertiary Students' Strategic Listening in Japanese as a Foreign Language
Creators: name: Seo, Kyoko
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Japanese as a foreign language
subject: Listening strategies

description: This is an exploratory study from a cognitive psychology perspective. It investigates the listening strategies used by tertiary-level learners of Japanese as a foreign language in non-interactional listening tasks. The study addrresses four research questions: (1) What are the listening strategies used by native speakers of Japanese (L1) and by above-average proficiency (AAP) and below-average proficiency (BAP) tertiary-level learners of Japanese as a foreign language who are Australian-English speakers, in audiovisual (AV) and audio-only (A) listening conrexts?; (2) How does the voice medium in different genres (television news broadcasts and television family dramas) influence these speakers' listening strategies in AV and A listening contexts?; (3) What are the similarities and differences in strategy use in AV and A listening contexts between the L1 group and the AAP and BAP L2 subgroups?; what are the effective strategies used by these speakers?; and what types of strategies should be included in an instructional package for an effective intervention program? (4) Does the listening strategy intervention program developed in this study result in more strategic listening in Japanese?
Emergent SU(3) symmetry in a four leg spin tube
Creators: name: Orignac, Edmond
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider an antiferromagnetic four leg spin-1/2 tube using abelian and non-abelian bosonization. We show that in the limit of weak interchain coupling, the most relevant interaction gives rise to an emergent SU(3)} symmetry, broken only by marginal interactions that can be canceled by diagonal interchain couplings. We discuss the low energy spectrum in the semiclassical limit and using a mapping to a trimerized SU(3) spin chain. We establish that the correlation functions of ferroquadrupolar operators can be used to reveal the emergent symmetry.

title: Implementing National Disability Service Standards: What Street Level Bureaucrats Exercise Discretion for in the Provision of Employment Services
Creators: name: Hondros, James Constantine
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Public service in public interest
subject: National disability service standards
subject: Employment services

description: The purpose of this thesis is to interpret the use of discretion to deliver public service in public interest. The research question to guide this purpose is, what do street-level bureaucrats use discretion for to implement disability service standards in Australia? Lipsky (1976) proposed that given their discretionary power, people on the front-line representing government (termed ‘street-level bureaucrats’) through daily people processing action on the front-line significantly affect policy outcomes. To implement social policy, a qualitative based method has been used to emphasize both intended and unintended consequences to front-line discretion. As a case, the street-level bureaucrats in disability employment services participated in semi-structured interviews and assisted this thesis design and provide the grounds to interpreting what it means to implement social policy in public interest today. By asking the question what is discretion used for, it is with the intention to uncover the meaning of public benefit, deep-rooted in service delivery. It is argued a street-level bureaucrat determines the meaning for citizen-consumer experience from standards in the legislation, and in so doing this, will highlight the ambiguity experienced in service delivery between state-agent or citizen-agent understanding surrounding ‘public interest’ and ‘public service’. The foundation on which the nature, amount and quality of benefits and sanctions, to assist people with a disability into sustainable employment, still rests with new street-level bureaucrats rather than the state initiative. Outcomes of service delivery rest on, in part, the use of discretion by street-level bureaucrats. This thesis disagrees with the state-agent ideal whereby particular outcomes that are unintended or unanticipated by those responsible for setting policy objectives (government) can be explained by the discretion of street-level bureaucrats.

title: Neoconservatism and American Foreign Policy: A Critical Analysis
Creators: name: Cooper, Daniel
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Neoconservatism
subject: American foreign policy
subject: Post Cold War
subject: American power

description: This thesis critically engages the dominant ideas, beliefs and strategic thought of neoconservative foreign policy intellectuals. Mush has been made in the dominant studies on neoconservatism of the ideological conversion neoconservatives underwent throughout the twentieth century. Understanding this conversion is certainly important if one is to develop an appreciation of neoconservatism's history. Yet this thesis argues that neoconservatism is best understood by critically engaging with a body of ideas and beliefs which should define the neoconservative approach to American foreign policy.

Multi-scale Mining of Kinematic Distributions with Wavelets

description: Typical LHC analyses search for local features in kinematic distributions. Assumptions about anomalous patterns limit them to a relatively narrow subset of possible signals. Wavelets extract information from an entire distribution and decompose it at all scales, simultaneously searching for features over a wide range of scales. We propose a systematic wavelet analysis and show how bumps, bump-dip combinations, and oscillatory patterns are extracted. Our kinematic wavelet analysis kit KWAK provides a publicly available framework to analyze and visualize general distributions.
