description: The transition of Beginning Teachers (BTs) into full professional practice in Queensland schools has undergone changes since 2014 with a formal mentoring program, supported by state budget provisions, now a requirement in every government school. This provides a new conceptual and procedural era for BTs, prompting renewed interest in areas such as emotions, confidence, resilience and identity of novice teachers and their mediating influence in the transition phase of the first three years of teaching. This research project, herein referred to as the study, investigated BTs’ experience during their transition phase in the Queensland context. The intention was to identify and examine BTs’ current experiences in this new era, in efforts to drive further understanding of this phase of teacher development. This qualitative study included seven BTs in a large metropolitan high school, comprising five female and two male participants. The purpose of this exploratory case study was to examine teacher perspectives during this unique phase, identify the areas the BTs deemed significant and consider the impact of these areas on their professional development experience. The participant teachers were at varying stages of transition including the end of the first, second and third years of their career. Each of these teachers had participated in a formal, year-long mentoring program at the same school. The research methodology employed thematic analysis of interviews where the teachers’ unique experiences within the high school context were explored through the transcripts of both individual and follow up, focus group interviews. Findings showed three categories of significant mediating themes emerged from the data analysis: Emotions, Expectations and Collegial Support. Further, the significance of these categories was elaborated regarding increases in confidence and resilience of the BT. The findings of the study have implications for the development of improved BT transition programs which could be informed by an awareness and accommodation of the key mediating themes identified through the three categories; 1) Emotions, 2) Expectations and 3) Collegial Support. Future research could look towards including BT identity formation and development as a significant aspect of the important areas shaping the transition phase.

title: Dielectric Antennas and Their Realisation Using a Pareto Dominance Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimisation Algorithm

description: Antennas utilising a dielectric medium are technologies that have become popular in modern wireless platforms. They offer several desirable features such as high efficiency, electrically small and resistance to proximity detuning. Being a volumetric radiator however, realising a final, commercially competitive solution, often requires the use of a computational optimisation algorithm. In the realm of antenna design the practice of optimisation typically involves an automated routine consisting of a heuristic algorithm and a forward solving engine such as the finite element method (FEM) or finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. The solving engine is used to derive a post-processed performance value typically referred to as an objective or fitness function, while the heuristic method uses the objective function data to determine the next trial solution or solutions that approach a design goal. Nowadays, commercially viable antenna platforms are not characterised by a single performance value, but rather, a series of objective functions that are often inherently conflicting. Thus, an increase in one objective function results in a decrease in another. The optimisation algorithm is therefore required to seek a solution dictated by the preferences of the designer. Classical literature dominantly featured preference articulation, a priori, where the set of objectives are transformed into a scalar using a predefined preference arrangement. Contemporary theory implements the articulation a posteriori, where the complete set of compromise solutions are sought by the optimisation algorithm. It is hypothesised that modern multi-objective optimisation (MOO) theory, using a posteriori preference articulation, can be more useful for contemporary antenna design. By treating the objectives as individual dimensions in a mathematical space, it allows for independent, simultaneous optimisation. At the time of writing this dissertation, all commercial simulation software that include an optimisation algorithm use a predefined preference to the performance criteria. Thus, where a large set of equally potential solutions exist, only one final solution is delivered. This thesis examines two novel dielectric antenna technologies and uses modern MOO theory to obtain new solutions that supersede their prototypes. Taking a commercial perspective by optimising the electromagnetic performance and the physical size of the antenna simultaneously, it is hypothesised this allows an unprecedented insight into the inherent tradeoffs of practical antenna configurations.
Lagrangian dynamics of the coupled field-medium state of light

description: In the recently introduced mass-polariton (MP) theory of light [Phys. Rev. A 95, 063850 (2017)], the optical force of light drives in a medium forward an atomic mass density wave. In this work, we present the Lagrangian formulation of the MP theory starting directly from the principle of least action and the well-known Lagrangian densities of the electromagnetic field and the medium within the special theory of relativity. The Lagrangian densities and the resulting Euler-Lagrange equations lead directly and without any further postulates to the unique expression of the optical Abraham force that dynamically couples the electromagnetic field and the medium in the MP theory of light. The field-medium coupling is symmetric and bi-directional and it fulfills the law of action and counteraction. The coupled dynamical equations also enable the exact description of the very small kinetic energy of the medium as a part of the total energy of the coupled state of light. Thus, the Lagrangian formulation of the present work is a complementary approach to Lorentz covariance properties of the MP theory discussed in our recent work [Phys. Rev. A 99, 033852 (2019)]. We show how the coupled dynamical equations of the field and the medium can be solved analytically for a Gaussian light pulse. It is astonishing how the simple analytic results for the dynamical equations, the optical force, and the stress-energy-momentum tensor of the MP theory follow ab initio from the Lagrangian densities that have been well known for almost a century.

description: We present a new approach for generation of solutions in the four-dimensional heterotic string theory with one vector field and in the five-dimensional bosonic string theory starting from the static Einstein-Maxwell fields. Our approach allows one to construct the solution classes invariant with respect to the total subgroup of the three-dimensional charging symmetries of these string theories. The new generation procedure leads to the extremal Israel-Wilson-Perjes subclass of string theory solutions in a special case and provides its natural continuous extension to the realm of non-extremal solutions. We explicitly calculate all string theory solutions related to three-dimensional gravity coupled to an effective dilaton field which arises after an appropriate charging symmetry invariant reduction of the static Einstein-Maxwell system.

subject: Transitions theory

subject: Social generation framework

description: Defining adulthood in contemporary Australian society has become an increasingly difficult task over the past few decades, particularly since the new millennium. This thesis argues that young people in contemporary Australia form their own definition of what it means to be an adult, using individualised measures of success which reflect the social, cultural and economic conditions of young people. The thesis uses the concept of emerging adulthood which posits the existence of an extended period of identity formation after the age of 18. The thesis argues that the characterizations of emerging adults are better able to frame the structural, social and cultural shifts in conceptions of adulthood that have occurred in the last 40 years, than the frameworks from the sociology of youth and the transitions theory. The thesis uses the ‘social generation’ framework to position young people within contemporary Australian society, and incorporates ‘emerging adulthood’ as a thick description of the conditions that shape the period of life during the late teens and early to mid twenties. 21 respondents were interviewed for this project, using a novel research method that mixed qualitative and social network techniques. The interviews focused on three aspects of emerging adulthood: the ways in which the respondents used their time, the managing of their personal communities, and their conceptions of adulthood, including their self-identification of adult status. The thesis found that the respondents’ work and study obligations constrained the ways in which they could spend their time, particularly when the activity would have required a substantial investment of time.

description: Open Universe for blazars is a set of high-transparency data products for blazar science, and the tools designed to generate them. Blazar astrophysics is becoming increasingly data driven, depending on the integration and combined analysis of large quantities of data from the entire span of observational astrophysics techniques. The project was therefore chosen as one of the pilot activities within the United Nations Open Universe Initiative. In this work we developed a data analysis pipeline called Swift_deepsky, based on the Swift XRTDAS software and the XIMAGE package, encapsulated into a Docker container. Swift_deepsky, downloads and reads low-level data, generates higher-level products, detects X-ray sources and estimates several intensity and spectral parameters for each detection, thus facilitating the generation of complete and up-to-date science-ready catalogues from an entire space-mission dataset. The Docker version of the pipeline and its derived products is publicly available from the Open Universe Website at openuniverse.asi.it. We present the results of a detailed X-ray image analysis based on Swift_deepsky on all Swift XRT observations including a known blazar, carried out during the first 14 years of operations of the Swift Observatory. The resulting database includes over 27,000 images integrated in different X-ray bands, and a catalogue, called 1OUSXB, that provides intensity and spectral information for 33,396 X-ray sources, 8,896 of which are single or multiple detections of 2,308 distinct blazars. All the results can be accessed on-line in a variety of ways: e.g., from the Open Universe portal at openuniverse.asi.it, through Virtual Observatory services, via the VOU-Blazar tool and the SSDC SED builder. One of the most innovative aspects of this work is that the results can be safely reproduced and extended by anyone.

Subjects: subject: Television advertising

subject: Advertising clutter
subject: Marketing communication

description: 21st century consumers are faced with the ubiquitous presence of marketing communications for innumerable products and brands across an expanding network of media platforms. This, coupled with the increasing homogeneity of product offerings in today’s marketplace, has lead marketers to differentiate their brands through brand image and personality characteristics, with the aim of developing emotional connections between consumers and their brands, and personalising the consumption experience. Meanwhile broadcast television advertising faces a revolution: where once an ad could be placed in a prime time program with an assured reach to a captive mass market audience, this is no longer the case. Digital broadcast and internet technologies have revolutionised the consumption of television programs, fragmenting television audiences and transferring control over the time and place of program viewing to the consumer. Television advertisers are faced with problems and opportunities posed by these technological advances, both in terms of advertising reach and exposure, as these technologies allow viewers to determine the advertising messages to which they will be exposed. As a consequence, marketers are increasingly looking towards product placement as a means of cutting through advertising clutter and averting the problems of advertising avoidance, by embedding brand communications within program content. In particular, product placement in television establishes a brand presence alongside characters with which an involved consumer (or fan) may hold a strong emotional attachment. This form of marketing communication has the potential to allow marketers to develop brand associations facilitated by the pseudo-endorsement of the characters alongside whom their brands are placed.

description: We report comprehensive multi-wavelength observations of a peculiar Type Ia-like supernova ("SN Ia-pec") ASASSN-15pz. ASASSN-15pz is a spectroscopic "twin" of SN 2009dc, a so-called "Super-Chandrasekhar-mass" SN, throughout its evolution, but it has a peak luminosity M_B,peak = -19.69 +/- 0.12 mag that is \approx 0.6 mag dimmer and comparable to the SN 1991T sub-class of SNe Ia at the luminous end of the normal width-luminosity relation. The synthesized Ni56 mass of M_Ni56 = 1.13 +/- 0.14 M_sun is also substantially less than that found for several 2009dc-like SNe. Previous well-studied 2009dc-like SNe have generally suffered from large and uncertain amounts of host-galaxy extinction, which is negligible for ASASSN-15pz. Based on the color of ASASSN-15pz, we estimate a host extinction for SN 2009dc of E(B-V)_host=0.12 mag and confirm its high luminosity (M_B, peak[2009dc] \approx -20.3 mag). The 2009dc-like SN population, which represents ~1% of SNe Ia, exhibits a range of peak luminosities, and do not fit onto the tight width-luminosity relation. Their optical light curves also show significant diversity of late-time (>~ 50 days) decline rates. The nebular-phase spectra provide powerful diagnostics to identify the 2009dc-like events as a distinct class of SNe Ia. We suggest referring to these sources using the phenomenology-based "2009dc-like SN Ia-pec" instead of "Super-Chandrasekhar SN Ia," which is based on an uncertain theoretical interpretation.

description: This thesis explores the possibility of drawing on a Foucauldian archaeological approach to critically reflect on some of the discursive practices that the disciplines of human factors and safety science are promoting. As such, it asks what insights Foucault’s archaeological analysis of objects can provide these practically oriented disciplines. Specifically, this thesis develops and presents a number of ways to apply Foucault’s archaeological level of description to study the constitution and discursive functioning of some prominent objects of the human factors and safety sciences discourses: it chiefly focuses on situation awareness (SA) and later expands the scope by analysing safety culture and resilience as objects of knowledge. Through their archaeological description of the constitution of situation awareness, in terms of the ‘rules of formation’ and ‘condition of possibilities’ for the formation of the object, the first two studies argue that situation awareness is not a natural object, but rather a historically contingent object that emerges as both a condition and an effect of the need to make the human part of our socio-technological systems more susceptible to analysis. Similarly, the studies into safety culture and resilience describe the constitution of their respective objects and then go on to discuss the effects that these objects have. Both studies conclude that the objects function in a manner to place the responsibility for safety on individual workers.

 The original description of G. attaleensis is based on a single female from "Topraktepe" (PACE 1983), although males are required to identify and interpret species of the subgenus Tropogastrosipalia. The species was subsequently tentatively interpreted by ASSING (2001) based on a male from the environs of Akseki. The above specimens are conspecific with this male.
 An examination of the males in the material listed above revealed that the posterior margin of the pronotum may occasionally be weakly concave in the middle. In order to account for this variability, couplet 77 in the species key in ASSING (2009) is modified accordingly (see the key supplement in the section on G. pungens).

description: Current and future interferometeric gravitational-wave detectors are limited predominantly by shot noise at high frequencies. Shot noise is reduced by introducing arm cavities and signal recycling, however, there exists a tradeoff between the peak sensitivity and bandwidth. This comes from the accumulated phase of signal sidebands when propagating inside the arm cavities. One idea is to cancel such a phase by introducing an unstable optomechanical filter. The original design proposed in [Phys.~Rev.~Lett.~{\bf 115},~211104 (2015)] requires an additional optomechanical filter coupled externally to the main interferometer. Here we consider a simplified design that converts the signal-recycling cavity itself into the unstable filter by using one mirror as a high-frequency mechanical oscillator and introducing an additional pump laser. However, the enhancement in bandwidth of this new design is less than the original design given the same set of optical parameters. The peak sensitivity improvement factor depends on the arm length, the signal-recycling cavity length, and the final detector bandwidth. For a 4~km interferometer, if the final detector bandwidth is around 2~kHz, with a 20~m signal-recycling cavity, the shot noise can be reduced by 10 decibels, in addition to the improvement introduced by squeezed light injection. We also find that the thermal noise of the mechanical oscillator is enhanced at low frequencies relative to the vacuum noise, while having a flat spectrum at high frequencies.

description: Solutions of manually purified gastric mucins have been shown to be promising lubricants for biomedical purposes, where they can efficiently reduce friction and wear. However, so far, such mucin solutions have been mostly tested in specific settings, and variations in the composition of the lubricating fluid have not been systematically explored. We here fill this gap and determine the viscosity, adsorption behavior, and lubricity of porcine gastric mucin solutions on hydrophobic surfaces at different pH levels, mucin and salt concentrations and in the presence of other proteins. We demonstrate that mucin solutions provide excellent lubricity even at very low concentrations of 0.01 % (w/v), over a broad range of pH levels and even at elevated ionic strength. Furthermore, we provide mechanistic insights into mucin lubricity, which help explain how certain variations in physiologically relevant parameters can limit the lubricating potential of mucin solutions. Our results motivate that solutions of manually purified mucin solutions can be powerful biomedical lubricants, e.g. serving as eye drops, mouth sprays or as a personal lubricant for intercourse.

description: This thesis describes the synthetic studies performed utilizing tridentate Schiff base Cr(III) complex catalysts towards the total synthesis of ()-lasonolide A resulting in the completion of synthetic efforts towards the C17-C25 segment. Further summarization is also given on completion of the C7-C16 segment and an overview of future directions toward to the total synthesis of ()-lasonolide A. Both tetrahydropyrans C7-C11 and C19-C23 were to be constructed utilising an asymmetric hetero-Diels–Alder protocol involving Jacobsen’s hetero-Diels–Alder catalyst providing a means to generate a number of the desired stereocentres simultaneously in each ring system, followed by novel macrolide formation using ruthenium catalysts for metathesis olefination and Alder-ene chemistry. Jacobsen's hetero-Diels–Alder catalyst has also been utilised to generate C-disacharide linked precursors under diastereolective control in an effort to generate stereospecific 13 linked disaccharides.

description: In our previous paper we derived the holographic dual of the planar fishnet CFT in four dimensions. The dual model becomes classical in the strongly coupled regime of the CFT and takes the form of an integrable chain of particles in five dimensions. Here we study the theory at the quantum level. By applying the canonical quantization procedure with constraints, we show that the model describes a quantum chain of particles propagating in $AdS_5$. We prove the duality at the full quantum level in the ${\mathfrak u}(1)$ sector and reproduce exactly the spectrum for the cases when it is known analytically.

description: The purpose of this study was to explore the Helping Children With Autism (HCWA) package, which is a public website on Australian autism policy with a particular consideration of how the HCWA package positioned parents when they engaged with this federal government initiative. The study also aimed to examine how and to what extent the HCWA package aligned with international human rights standards using the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This study was underpinned by a theoretical framework that combined the sociology of Zygmunt Bauman and the models of disability (charity, medical, social, human rights) with human rights. The nature and complexity of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) presents challenges to parents raising their child with ASD, which often results in uncertainty about their rights and responsibilities alongside those of the government, and State. In 2008 the Australian Government attempted to solve the policy problem of autism and implemented the HCWA package in response to parents’ pleas for help in raising their child with ASD (Palm Consulting Group, 2005, June 20). The HCWA package was the first autism specific policy in Australia and aimed to provide funding, support, and services for children with ASD and their families (Minister for Families Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, 2007).
Magnetic excitations in the trimeric compounds A$_3$Cu$_3$(PO$_4$)$_4$ (A = Ca, Sr, Pb)

description: We study the magnetic excitations of the trimeric magnetic compounds A$_3$Cu$_3$(PO$_4$)$_4$ (A = Ca, Sr, Pb). The spectra are analyzed in terms of the Heisenberg model and a generic spin Hamiltonian that accounts for the changes in valence electrons distribution along the bonds among magnetic ions. The analytical results obtained in the framework of both Hamiltonians are compared to each other and to the available experimental measurements. The results based on our model show better agreement with the experimental data than those obtained with the aid of the Heisenberg model. For all trimers, our analysis reveals the existence of one thin energy band referring to the flatness of observed excitation peaks.

description: The recent multimessenger observation of the short gamma-ray burst (SGRB) GRB 170817A together with the gravitational wave (GW) event GW170817 provides evidence for the long-standing hypothesis associating SGRBs with binary neutron star (BNS) mergers. The nature of the remnant object powering the SGRB, which could have been either an accreting black hole (BH) or a long-lived magnetized neutron star (NS), is, however, still uncertain. General relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations of the merger process represent a powerful tool to unravel the jet launching mechanism, but so far most simulations focused the attention on a BH as the central engine, while the long-lived NS scenario remains poorly investigated. Here, we explore the latter by performing a GRMHD BNS merger simulation extending up to ~100 ms after merger, much longer than any previous simulation of this kind. This allows us to (i) study the emerging structure and amplification of the magnetic field and observe a clear saturation at magnetic energy $E_\mathrm{mag} \sim 10^{51}$ erg, (ii) follow the magnetically supported expansion of the outer layers of the remnant NS and its evolution into an ellipsoidal shape without any surrounding torus, and (iii) monitor density, magnetization, and velocity along the axis, observing no signs of jet formation. We also argue that the conditions at the end of the simulation disfavor later jet formation on subsecond timescales if no BH is formed. Furthermore, we examine the rotation profile of the remnant, the conversion of rotational energy associated with differential rotation, the overall energy budget of the system, and the evolution of the GW frequency spectrum. Finally, we perform an additional simulation where we induce the collapse to a BH ~70 ms after merger, in order to gain insights on the prospects for massive accretion tori in case of a late collapse. We find that...

title: Influence of Socio-Cultural and Technological Factors on the Adoption of the Project Management Office (PMO) in Saudia Arabia: An Innovation Diffusion Perspective

description: Innovation is regarded as one of the key drivers of national economic growth. It is defined as the adoption of a system, policy, program, device, process, product or service that is new to the adopting organisation. A must-have core competency for the adopting organisation is the ability to manage the innovation-adoption process (e.g. awareness of the innovation, attitude formation, intention to adopt, rate of adoption, evaluation, implementation, etc.). The link between innovativeness and projects undertaken is intimate, therefore, integrated advanced project management is recommended to address challenges faced by project management in improving organisations’ performance. Many organisations plan to adopt or have already adopted the Project Management Office (PMO) which is perceived as an organisational innovation because it is an effort to adopt new project management practices. Previous studies have indicated that the successful adoption of innovations often needs an effective diffusion process. This thesis argues that a combination of contextual factors (e.g. social, cultural, technological and organisational) and various innovation characteristics has the potential to influence the organisation’s intention to adopt innovation. Drawing upon the Diffusion of Innovation theory, and a stream of research that has focused on national culture, organisational climate, and technology and innovation management, the thesis introduces a conceptual model featuring seven unique constructs–each construct represents a single theoretical variable of interest. The thesis hypothesises upon how socio-cultural and technological factors (two constructs at the country level), organisational climate for innovation (single construct at the organisation level), and innovation characteristics (three constructs capturing perceived relative advantages, compatibility and complexity) influence the intention-to-adopt decision (single construct).
