description: The thermal radiative transfer equations model temperature evolution through a background medium as a result of radiation. When a large number of particles are absorbed in a short time scale, the dynamics tend to a non-linear diffusion-type equation called the Rosseland approximation. The main challenges for constructing numerical schemes that exhibit the correct limiting behavior are posed by the solution's high-dimensional phase space and multi-scale effects. In this work, we propose an asymptotic-preserving and rank-adaptive dynamical low-rank approximation scheme based on the macro-micro decomposition of the particle density and a modified augmented basis-update \& Galerkin integrator. We show that this scheme, for linear particle emission by the material, dissipates energy over time under a step size restriction that captures the hyperbolic and parabolic CFL conditions. We demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method in a series of numerical experiments.

description: Aims: Adolescent males are consistently reported to be reluctant to seek help for common mental health problems. The aim of this thesis was to inform future developments of youth mental health interventions by enhancing the conceptual understanding of factors associated with help-seeking for clinical anxiety in this population. This aim was achieved by investigating the attitudes of adolescent males (both with and without experience of help-seeking for anxiety) towards help-seeking behaviour for anxiety disorders. In addition, the research investigated the attitudes of adolescent males towards a method often hypothesised to increase youth mental health help-seeking (computerised psychological support). Finally, the thesis investigated the relationships between identified barriers to youth help-seeking (mental health literacy, stigma, and parenting behaviour) and help-seeking attitudes, intentions and behaviour in adolescent males within the context of anxiety disorders. Scope: This thesis by published works comprises five papers reporting two qualitative and three quantitative investigations. Semi-structured interviews and focus groups were conducted with 31 adolescent males (aged 12 to 18 years) from both clinical and community samples. Quantitative online surveys were also completed by community samples of adolescent males (aged 12-18 years) from Sydney and Canberra, Australia. Conclusions: An in-depth understanding of barriers and facilitating factors to help-seeking, anxiety-specific mental health literacy, and stigma in adolescent males was elicited. Mental health literacy, stigma, and parenting behaviour were all found to have an association with help-seeking in adolescent males; although, this association was typically in relation to help-seeking attitudes and intentions as opposed to help-seeking behaviour. Social norms of hegemonic masculinity were found to influence a number of help-seeking variables investigated within the thesis.

description: RAS protein activator like 2 (Rasal2) exerts pro-proliferative effect in several types of cells. However, whether Rasal2 is involved in the regulation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (PASMC) remains unclear. In the current study, we explored the role of Rasal2 in proliferation and migration of PASMC during the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). We found that the protein level of Rasal2 was increased in both pulmonary arteries of chronic hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension (CH-PH) mice and hypoxia-challenged PASMC. Overexpression of Rasal2 caused enhanced proliferation and migration of PASMC after hypoxia exposure. Mechanistically, we found elevated phosphorylation of AKT and two downstream effectors of mammalian target of Rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), S6 and 4E-Binding Protein 1 (4EBP1) after Rasal2 overexpression in hypoxia-challenged PASMC. Inactivation of mTORC1 abolished Rasal2-mediated enhancement of proliferation and migration of PASMC. Furthermore, we also demonstrated that AKT might act downstream of Rasal2 to enhance the activity of mTORC1. Once AKT was inactivated by MK-2206 application, overexpression of Rasal2 failed to further increase the phosphorylation level of S6 and 4EBP1. Finally, inhibition of AKT also blocked Rasal2-induced proliferation and migration in hypoxia-challenged PASMC. In conclusion, Rasal2 promotes the proliferation and migration of PASMC during the development of PAH via AKT/mTORC1 pathway.
Country tracking voices: Dharug women’s perspectives on presences, places and practices

description: Country Tracking Voices is a thesis that for the first time brings seven Dharug women’s voices to the written scholarship and broader academy. It is centered in the Australian Aboriginal belief that we belong and are obligated to caring for Country as it is the source of all species’ wellbeing and survival. The thesis engages with how seven Dharug custodians are continuing cultural practices, sharing Dharug knowledges and employing Dharug ways of caring, connecting and belonging. When Dharug Country covers the majority of Sydney, Australia, this thesis contributes knowledges for resilience and renewal to benefit all sentient beings. The ways of practicing Dharug culture today are diverse, educational and positive. They include puppetry, the visual arts, singing, dancing, possum-skin work, weaving, story-telling and poetry, as well as through customary ceremonies and practices. Equally the ways of undertaking research are diverse. This thesis challenges customary thesis methodologies by including the influence of other-than-humans in the research process. By recognizing the agency of Country, this research is able to acknowledge participant voices of birds, possums, and sandstone. It also positions the research method as ‘Goanna walking’, de-composes human-centricity and repositions us to the more sustainable place of being only one within a profound web of interconnectivity. What also makes this project unique is that for more than 200 years Dharug people, Country, practices and values have been talked about by others. In this thesis, we talk back. This project is not a representation of all Dharug people. It is instead a beginning. It offers Goanna’s trailing tail in the sand: simply a tale to follow.

subject: Horticultural crop growth and development

description:  The favourable summer and autumn climatic conditions of the Capricorn coast region in central Queensland can accelerate the growth rate of pineapple first ratoon suckers from a Summer plant crop to such a degree that the incidence of precocious fruiting for the following summer can be as high as 50 - 70%. This breakdown in crop control can seriously affect farm management and returns through inefficient harvesting and substantial yield losses caused by sunburn and overripe fruit. 2-(3-chlorophenoxy) propionic acid (Fruitone CPA) or paclobutrazol (Cultar) were applied as foliar sprays at various rates, application volumes and timings in an attempt to limit sucker growth rate to a degree that precocious flowering was inhibited. In a series of five trials over a period of four years, it was found that the seasonal timing of Fruitone CPA applications was a critical factor. Correctly timed Fruitone CPA applications reduced the incidence of precocious Summer fruit from an average 35.3% to 8.5%, while Cultar was less effective with a reduction from an average 46.1% to 29.0%. It was concluded that Fruitone CPA applied at a maximum of 160 ppin active constituent in 2,000 L/ha in late March was the most effective treatment.

description: From the per unit length free energy for DNA under tension, we have calculated an effective contour length dependent persistence length for short DNA. This effective persistence length results from the enhanced fluctuations in short DNA. It decreases for shorter DNA, making shorter DNA more flexible. The results of the J-factor calculated using this effective persistence length are in good agreement with experimental data.

description: In order to clarify the nature of hypernuclear low-lying states, we carry out a comprehensive study for the structure of $^{144-154}_{~~~~~~~~Λ}$Sm-hypernuclei, which exhibit a transition from vibrational to rotational characters as the neutron number increases. To this end, we employ a microscopic particle-core coupling scheme based on a covariant density functional theory. We find that the positive-parity ground-state band in the hypernuclei shares a similar structure to that of the corresponding core nucleus. That is, regardless of whether the core nucleus is spherical or deformed, each hypernuclear state is dominated by the single configuration of the $Λ$ particle in the $s_{1/2}$ state ($Λs_{1/2}$) coupled to one core state of the ground band. In contrast, the low-lying negative-parity states mainly consist of $Λp_{1/2}$ and $Λp_{3/2}$ configurations coupled to plural nuclear core states. We show that, while the mixing amplitude between these configurations is negligibly small in spherical and weakly-deformed nuclei, it strongly increases as the core nucleus undergoes a transition to a well-deformed shape, being consistent with the Nilsson wave functions. We demonstrate that the structure of these negative-parity states with spin $I$ can be well understood based on the $LS$ coupling scheme, with the total orbital angular momentum of $L=[I\otimes 1]$ and the spin angular momentum of $S=1/2$.

description: We discuss the permutation group G of massive vacua of four-dimensional gauge theories with N=1 supersymmetry that arises upon tracing loops in the space of couplings. We concentrate on superconformal N=4 and N=2 theories with N=1 supersymmetry preserving mass deformations. The permutation group G of massive vacua is the Galois group of characteristic polynomials for the vacuum expectation values of chiral observables. We provide various techniques to effectively compute characteristic polynomials in given theories, and we deduce the existence of varying symmetry breaking patterns of the duality group depending on the gauge algebra and matter content of the theory. Our examples give rise to interesting field extensions of spaces of modular forms.

description: We describe the results of 3D simulations of the interaction of hydrodynamic shocks with Bonnor-Ebert spheres performed with an Adaptive Mesh Refinement code. The calculations are isothermal and the clouds are embedded in a medium in which the sound speed is either four or ten times that in the cloud. The strengths of the shocks are such that they induce gravitational collapse in some cases and not in others and we derive a simple estimate for the shock strength required for this to occur. These results are relevant to dense cores and Bok globules in star forming regions subjected to shocks produced by stellar feedback.

description: Extended Air Showers produced by cosmic rays impinging on the earth atmosphere irradiate radio frequency radiation through different mechanisms. Upon certain conditions, the emission has a coherent nature, with the consequence that the emitted power is not proportional to the energy of the primary cosmic rays, but to the energy squared. The effect was predicted in 1962 by Askaryan and it is nowadays experimentally well established and exploited for the detection of ultra high energy cosmic rays. In this paper we discuss in details the conditions for coherence, which in literature have been too often taken for granted, and calculate them analytically, finding a formulation which comprehends both the coherent and the incoherent emissions. We apply the result to the Cherenkov effect, obtaining the same conclusions derived by Askaryan, and to the geosynchrotron radiation.

description: This dissertation explores the anomaly of Horn Island, Torres Strait, being classified a non -operational area during World War Two. It explains why this designation was wrong, and why it needed to be changed in order that the men and women who served there be accorded the recognition that they had been striving for since the war concluded. The concrete measure of that recognition comes in the form of the 1939- 1945 Star Medal. This prestigious award is for duty in an area that came under enemy attack during the Second World War, until 1993 restricted to those who served overseas. The dissertation plots the activities of Air Force and Army squadrons and units at Horn Island, both Australian and American, draws on an extensive bank of oral evidence, and focuses on the experiences of those who served there. Their histories portray what life was like at that Advanced Operational Airbase, and demonstrate the effect Horn Island service had on veterans. These are tangible demonstrations and are attested to by the fact that 60 years later the men and women have begun to return. They are being drawn back to their island of service, to walk in the steps of their youth, recapturing a past that will soon be lost to memory. Many bring their descendants to pass down their family's wartime heritage. On 26 October 2001 the 1939-1945 Star Medal finally was awarded to qualifying Tones Strait veterans, a decision that affected thousands of men, and a handful of women, who now hold the physical symbol that their wartime service has been acknowledged. However, for many other Horn Island veterans there is still unfinished business.
An investigation into strategies for managing rightsizing

subject: Organisational planning and management

description:  Australian industry has undergone major structural change since the late 1980's with many public and private enterprises having shed jobs in an attempt to reduce costs and improve competitiveness. Many organisations have also reconsidered their core business activity and adjusted their staff levels accordingly. Consequently, job losses have affected all categories of employees from senior managers to unskilled labourers. This study hypothesised that it was possible for organisations to maximise the motivation (and resultant productivity) of employees, that remained in the organisation, by adopting an 'integrated management approach' to rightsizing. Employees (n=109) from four organisations in South East Queensland were interviewed and the results factor analysed to explain the major variances. Chi square and T-tests were also conducted to verify the accuracy of the results and their relationship to broader population predictions. The results provided some support for the hypothesis and suggest that organisations can better manage rightsizing using particular management behaviours to maximise the motivation of survivors.
Disease ridden outfits: contaminated uniforms and British preventative medicine in the First World War

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: During the First World War, a war of attrition and the dirty and mud-filled environment of trench warfare spurred the onset of various medical conditions. Yet, when soldiers fell ill, it was not immediately recognised that some maladies stemmed from contamination – soiling, infestation and poisons – in their uniforms. With a new focus on preventative medicine, doctors and medical scientists investigated numerous medical conditions that spread through contaminated uniforms. It is well known that these medical professionals developed a body of knowledge on the prevention of uniform contamination. It is far less known, however, that soldiers also developed a set of medical ideas. Two separate ‘systems of medical ideas’ developed simultaneously during the Great War, and this is demonstrated through the study of lice, trench foot, and mustard gas poisoning. While the voices of medical professionals have received ample attention, the voices of the soldiers who also discussed medicine have been neglected. This thesis employs these soldiers’ voices to highlight their reliance on ‘folk medicine’ in the trenches.

METAPHOR is a modular workflow, mainly based on the MLPQNA neural network as internal engine to derive photometric galaxy redshifts, but giving the possibility to easily replace MLPQNA with any other method to predict photo-z's and their PDF. We present here the results about a validation test of the workflow on the galaxies from SDSS-DR9, showing also the universality of the method by replacing MLPQNA with KNN and Random Forest models. The validation test include also a comparison with the PDF's derived from a traditional SED template fitting method (Le Phare).

Metric space approach to potentials and its relevance to density functional theory

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: External potentials play a crucial role in modelling quantum systems, since, for a given inter- particle interaction, they define the system Hamiltonian. We use the metric space approach to quantum mechanics to derive, from the energy conservation law, two natural metrics for potentials. We show that these metrics are well defined for physical potentials, regardless of whether the system is in an eigenstate or if the potential is bounded. In addition, we discuss the gauge freedom of potentials and how to ensure that the metrics preserve physical relevance. Our metrics for potentials, together with the metrics for wavefunctions and densities from [I. D'Amico, J. P. Coe, V. V. Franca, and K. Capelle, Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 050401 (2011)] paves the way for a comprehensive study of the two fundamental theorems of Density Functional Theory. We explore these by analysing two many- body systems for which the related exact Kohn-Sham systems can be derived. First we consider the information provided by each of the metrics, and we find that the density metric performs best in distinguishing two many-body systems. Next we study for the systems at hand the one-to-one relationships among potentials, ground state wavefunctions, and ground state densities defined by the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem as relationships in metric spaces. We find that, in metric space, these relationships are monotonic and incorporate regions of linearity, at least for the systems considered. Finally, we use the metrics for wavefunctions and potentials in order to assess quantitatively how close the many-body and Kohn-Sham systems are: We show that, at least for the systems analysed, both metrics provide a consistent picture, and for large regions of the parameter space the error in approximating the many-body wavefunction with the Kohn-Sham wavefunction lies under a threshold of 10%.
Product development of fully recyclable singe-use coffee cups
Creators: name: Catchpole, Pip
Publisher: name: Lancaster University

description: Disposable cups are typically made from PE-lined paper. They are recyclable at specialist sites where their components are separated, however the cups must be isolated from all other waste prior to collection by recycling companies. PE is obtained from fossil fuels, although it can be acquired from crops such as sugarcane. To derive PE solely from crops, a lot of land would be needed to grow them, which is unrealistic. Regardless of the source, PE is non-biodegradable. This project aimed to develop a polymer that is from a renewable source, biodegradable, and/or easier to recycle. PLA and PHB were investigated as copolymers of varying compositions for their suitability to line cups. The 8 copolymers made all had melting points and thermal degradation temperatures significantly higher than the boiling point of water. All the copolymers were all melted onto uncoated cup paper and some tests were performed to assess their water permeability. The polymers with a higher percentage of BL in their composition (75% or higher) demonstrated better water resistance, when exposed to room temperature DI. Further testing is required using hot water.

description: An intelligent virual agent to provide support to young people and young adults with chronic conditions to improve their adherence to treatment advice is an important matter and complex due to the psychosocial barriers involved. Empathic agent technology involves the use of animated computerized characters designed to build long-term trust-based socio-emotional relationships with users. Therefore, to establish a strong long-term trust friendship, we wanted to investigate whether users have different preferences on the appearance of a virtual character. In this thesis, we used Mixamo and Unity 3D to design twelve models then we distributed among participants to interact with all of them to investigate their preference about the avatar they like to receive help from to serve our common goal of adherence. As a result, a wide investigation about what sort of character is needed based on participant demographic, personality, depression, anxiety and stress level. We found that female character is the most preferable gender to most participants while the character age needs to be similar to the participants in range. Of course, personality, depression, stress and anxiety affects and influence the selection of an avatar and some results confirm the need of a virtual character to provide support to young people and young adults.

description: Osteoarthritis (OA), an inflammatory response in chondrocytes, leads to extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation and cartilage destruction. Timosaponin B-II (TB-II) is the main bioactive component of Rhizoma Anemarrhenae with reported antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. This study investigated the anti-OA function and mechanism of TB-II on IL-1β-stimulated SW1353 cells and primary rat chondrocytes. We firstly screened the concentration of TB-II in SW1353 cells and primary rat chondrocytes using CCK-8 assay. Thereafter, SW1353 cells and chondrocytes were, respectively, pretreated with TB-II (20 and 40 μg/mL) and TB-II (10 and 30 μg/mL) for 24 h and then stimulated with interleukin 1β (IL-1β, 10 ng/mL) for another 24 hours. Results showed that TB-II suppressed the production of reactive oxygen species, the protein levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 in IL-1β-stimulated SW1353 cells and chondrocytes. IL-1β-induced high secretion levels of nitric oxide and prostaglandin 2, TNF-α, IL-6 and MCP-1 were down-regulated by TB-II treatment, indicating an anti-inflammatory effect of TB-II on OA in vitro condition. Moreover, TB-II weakened the mRNA and protein expression of (matrix metalloproteinase) MMPs including MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-13, indicating the protection of TB-II against ECM degradation. Mechanically, TB-II suppressed MAPKs and NF-κB pathways under IL-1β stimulation evidenced by the down-regulated protein expression of p-ERK, p-p38, p-JNK, p-p65 and the reduced translocation of p65 subunit to the nucleus. The present study demonstrated that TB-II might become a novel therapeutic agent for OA treatment through repressing IL-1β-stimulated inflammation, oxidative stress and ECM degradation via suppressing the MAPKs and NF-κB pathways.

Story, song & voice: investigating the musical creativities of Australian singer-songwriters
Creators: name: Stewart, Veronica
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: As artists, singer - songwriters are critically revered for their reflective and introspective craft. They are described and understood as conduits of personal and artistic expressivity, for reflecting the times, for activism and social change, and for self - development. The essence, tradition and duality of their work is identified in the literature as being both musically and ideologically based. While such literature on these segmented creative processes exist, there are limited evidence - based understandings on the singer - songwriter as an artistic entity. The definitions and descriptions of singer - songwriters often focus on the resultant artefacts or the associated style and creator persona. Such accounts often neglect to consider the specific influences that occupy creative practice, and more specifically, the inherent meaningful connections found within the creative processes that bind the individual, the singing voice and the original song. To address this, the following study offers evidence - based understandings on singer - songwriter artistry and creative practice. Through implementing a mixed methods approach, this research adopts qualitative and quantitative methodologies. Of the 115 research participants, 20 engaged in in - depth interviews and 95 completed an online survey. The data included narratives from emerging and established Australian singer - songwriters, and provided broad perspectives on diverse and highly individual, creative practices. The emergent themes signify singer - songwriters as complex and pluralistic artists distinguished by their inherent consolidation of several art forms and behavioural processes. These include singing, songwriting, performance, entrepreneurship, community and social focus, and singing/songwriting as a strategy for wellbeing. This research contributes to the understanding of the contemporary singer - songwriter, the attributes of songwriting through singer - songwriter perspectives, of the singing voice as a creative and performative construct, and of singer - songwriter musical creativities. Lastly, the research findings are used to progressively develop a creative practice framework that situates the contemporary singer - songwriter.

description: Monocrotaline (MCT)-induced pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) has been reported to cause right heart failure (RHF). Moreover, Right heart diseases have been determined to cause ventricular arrhythmia (VA). So we can conclude that MCT-induced PAH increases the incidence of VA. In addition, Previous studies have determined the benefits of Dapagliflozin (DA) on the cardiac system, but the responses of MCT-induced RHF to DA are not fully reported. So the present study sought to evaluate the effects of DA on the MCT-induced PAH. A dose intraperitoneal injection of MCT (60 mg/kg) was carried out to induce a rat model with PAH. DA (60 mg/l) was administered for 4 weeks following MCT injection. Echocardiography, body weight, blood pressure, blood glucose, electrophysiological study, and Western blot were performed. Four weeks after the MCT injection, MCT-treated rats decreased body weight, blood glucose and blood pressure. In addition, MCT caused the formation of PAH and RHF. Moreover, MCT-induced PAH rats increased the incidence of VA, prolonged action potential duration (APD), and shortened effective refractory period (ERP). Additionally, PAH rats significantly prevented the activated expressions of Ion channel proteins such as potassium channel (Kv1.5, Kv2.1, Kv4.2, Kv4.3) and L-type Ca channel (Cav1.2). As we expected, these changes above in PAH rats were reversed when DA was administered. Mechanistically, DA significantly reduced the levels of toll-like receptor (TLR4), the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) in MCT-treated rats. In conclusion, these findings determine that DA reduces the vulnerability of VA in PAH rats through the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.

description: The Hamiltonian of the quantum Calogero-Sutherland model of $N$ identical particles on the circle with $1/r^{2}$ interactions has eigenfunctions consisting of Jack polynomials times the base state. By use of the generalized Jack polynomials taking values in modules of the symmetric group and the matrix solution of a system of linear differential equations one constructs novel eigenfunctions of the Hamiltonian. Like the usual wavefunctions each eigenfunction determines a symmetric probability density on the $N$-torus. The construction applies to any irreducible representation of the symmetric group. The methods depend on the theory of generalized Jack polynomials due to Griffeth, and the Yang-Baxter graph approach of Luque and the author.

description: The present series of publications represent a comprehensive review of ablation techniques, energy sources, lesion sets, and hybrid approaches performed in the surgical management of atrial fibrillation. Endpoints examined include the srahort-term and medium-term success rate and complications of concomitant ablation with cardiac surgery in "Surgical ablation for treatment of atrial fibrillation in cardiac surgery - a cumulative meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials"(2014). Minimally invasive thoracoscopic epicardial ablation was compared with percutaneous catheter ablation in terms of success rates and complications in "Thoracoscopic surgical ablation versus catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation"(2016). Energy sources explored include radiofrequency ablation, cryoenergy, microwave and cut-and-sew techniques, as examined in "Comparing energy sources for surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation - A Bayesian network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials"(2015). Biatrial versus left-atrial lesion sets were compared in "Biatrial ablation versus left atrial concomitant surgical ablation for treatment of atrial fibrillation: a meta-analysis"(2015). The role of obesity in postoperative atrial fibrillation was demonstrated in "Obesity and postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery: systematic review and meta-analysis" (2016), and the impact of obesity on the outcomes of hybrid ablation procedure was investigated via a retrospective analysis of 3-year follow-up data in "Effectiveness and safety of simultaneous hybrid thoracoscopic endocardial catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation in obese and non-obese patients"(2016). Overall, this body of work includes comprehensive and up-to-date clinical data on the surgical management of atrial fibrillation in the existing medical literature.

description: The interaction of ultrashort, high intensity laser pulses with thin foil targets leads to ion acceleration on the target rear surface. To make this ion source useful for applications, it is important to optimize the transfer of energy from the laser into the accelerated ions. One of the most promising ways to achieve this consists in engineering the target front by introducing periodic nanostructures. In this paper, the effect of these structures on ion acceleration is studied analytically and with multi-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. We assessed the role of the structure shape, size, and the angle of laser incidence for obtaining the efficient energy transfer. Local control of electron trajectories is exploited to maximise the energy delivered into the target. Based on our numerical simulations, we propose a precise range of parameters for fabrication of nanostructured targets, which can increase the energy of the accelerated ions without requiring a higher laser intensity.
