description: Supercapacitors, which are considered as one of the most useful electrochemical storage devices, have a variety of applications in different industrial and transport sectors. Their more recent and important application is to store energy produced by renewable energy sources to enable efficient use of the stored energy when required. Due to the quick and repeating nature of charge and discharge in these devices, they are a major source of heat generation. This generated heat is required to be ventilated from the system, because it may lead to malfunction, aging or even fire. Air is commonly used for heat ventilation in these systems. Given the compact size of supercapacitor stacks, the cooling strategy and cell arrangement has a significan impact on the operation temperature of individual capacitors within the stack. In this study, computational fluid mechanics (CFD) is applied using the commercial package ANSYS to simulate heat transfer and fluid dynamics around a series of supercapacitors in a stack. The heat transfer analysis is carried out and the thermal characteristics of the stack components are represented with different initial conditions and under different scenarios. Four different velocities for cooling air are considered which represent different fan speeds; and four different heat fluxes for supercapacitors are considered, which represent different working loads of the supercapacitors. At each velocity, different heat fluxes are used and the temperatures field is investigated. In addition, for each heat flux value, the inlet velocity of the cooling air has been changed to elaborate on its influence on the cooling process. In this respect, the most appropriate cooling air velocity for each heat flux condition has been identified to pave the way for future studies. Overall, the outcome of this research will be useful to have a clear understanding of the requirements for an efficient and safe cooling strategy for a typical supercapacitor stack, where overheating might lead to expensive and unsafe damage.

description: Since the early 1990s Eurobarometer surveys have reported the great resistance of Europeans against the possible introduction of genetically modified foods (GFs). Few analyses, however, have considered how opinions concerning such foods are formed. This study draws on data collected by Eurobarometer 58.0 of 2002 to examine the factors associated with the acceptance of GF. To gain better understanding of the reasons for rejecting, or conversely accepting, their introduction, the article also considers the opinions of those respondents who, unlike the majority, would be willing to purchase GF. The results show that, firstly, sociocultural factors far outweigh demographic ones in explaining the differences among attitudes towards GF. Indeed, it is above all trust in the applications of biotechnologies and in the actors involved in the development of such foods that favours their acceptance. Secondly, the analysis highlights that the public is not irrational. Its positions, whether for or against GF, are based on a process in which the ‘good reasons’ for the choice are appraised, and in which an important role is played by worldviews and values.

description: The risk of glaucoma in patients suffering from Sjögren’s syndrome has not been elucidated. We aimed for evaluating the absolute incidence as well as the relative risk of glaucoma in patients with SS at the level of the whole country population. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using a national health insurance database in Taiwan from 2000 to 2013. We used International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, to categorise medical conditions for study group and comparison group. We used Cox proportional hazard regression analysis to determine adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) of glaucoma between study and comparison group after adjusting for sex, age, and comorbidities. Among 17,398 patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome, 133 patients were diagnosis with glaucoma during follow-up. Of the 69,592 non-primary Sjögren’s syndrome patients, 429 patients developed glaucoma. Glaucoma risk was elevated in patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome than in the non-Sjögren’s syndrome group (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 2.274, 95% in the confidence interval [95% CI] 1.847–2.800; P < .001). The risk of glaucoma among the population having Sjögren’s syndrome was higher than those did not have Sjögren’s syndrome. It indicated the necessity of regular examination for glaucoma in patients with Sjögren’s syndrome.

description: The urbanization of suburbs has a significant impact on ocular health, however, the effect of this phenomenon on the epidemiology of eye diseases in the sub-urbanization region of China remains unclear. In this context, the population-based Beichen Eye Study (BCES) was conducted in the Beichen District of Tianjin, China. This article aims to summarize the background, design scheme and operation process of the study. The Chinese Clinical Trial Registry number was ChiCTR2000032280. In total, 8218 participants were randomly selected by a multi-stage sampling method. After their qualification was confirmed, participants were mainly invited to a centralized clinic via telephone interviews after promotion of the study in the community. Examinations included a standardized interview, anthropometric assessment, autorefraction, ocular biometry, visual acuity, anterior and posterior segment examinations, dry eye disease (DED), intra-ocular pressure, visual field testing, gonioscopy, and imaging of anterior segment, posterior segment, fundus, and optic disc. A peripheral venous blood sample was also collected for biochemical testing. For observational purposes, a community-based type II diabetes mellitus management mode was created and assessed for its effect in preventing the progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Of the 8,218 residents, 7,271 were eligible for inclusion, and 5,840 (80.32%) subjects were enrolled in the BCES. Most of the participants were female (64.38%) with a median age of 63 years, and 98.23% representing Han Chinese descent. Conclusions: This study provides insights into the epidemiological characteristics of major ocular diseases and their moderators in a suburbanized region of China.

description: Environmentalism is a highly fragmented movement consisting of a vast archipelago of groups and coalitions committed to defence of the environment. Some of them embrace values in conflict with those of the larger organizations. This aspect, however, has been little examined by empirical research. This study addresses the issue of surveying the propensity to undertake action to protect the environment. It highlights the need to bear in mind the plurality of meanings and motivations that induce citizens to mobilize in defence of the planet. In this regard, the environmental concern index developed enables the isolation, within large-scale sample surveys (WVS and ISSP), of an often elusive phenomenon: the presence of individuals with a pronounced degree of activism but who do not share the attitudes of the majority of environmentalists. These individuals may belong to environmental justice, NIMBY, animal rights or deep ecology groups

description: The latest INTEGRAL/IBIS all-sky survey lists 219 hard X-ray sources whose nature is still unknown. We report on our ongoing campaign aimed at identifying these high-energy emitters by exploiting the focusing capabilities of the X-ray Telescope (XRT, 0.2-10 keV) on board Swift, which allow an enhancement of the source localisation to arcsec level, thus facilitating the identification of the likely counterpart. By cross-correlating the list of the unidentified IBIS sources included in the latest IBIS catalogue with Swift/XRT archival data, we found a set of 14 objects, not yet reported in the literature, for which XRT data were available. We found no detection in only one case, a single X-ray association in 9 sources, and 2/3 associations in the remaining objects. We then made use of multi-waveband archives to search for counterparts at other wavelengths of these XRT detections and exploited X-ray spectral information in an attempt to determine their nature and association with the IBIS object. As a result of our analysis, we identified a single counterpart for 13 sources, although in some cases its nature/class could not be assessed on the basis of the information collected. More specifically, we found that SWIFT J0924.2-3141 and SWIFT J1839.1-5717 are absorbed AGN, while SWIFT J0800.7-4309 and 1SWXRT J230642.8+550817 are Cataclysmic Variable binary systems. Finally, we found that IGR J14059-6116 is likely associated with the Fermi source 3FGL J1405.4-6119. In the case of XMMSL1 J030715.5-545536 no XRT counterpart was detected. In all the other cases, optical/infrared spectroscopy is necessary to classify properly each X-ray counterpart and confirm their association with the INTEGRAL/IBIS detection.

Class 1 integrons and their impact on the mobility of antibiotic resistance in clinical environments
Creators: name: Christopher, Miranda
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria is becoming an increasingly important issue in the management of infectious diseases. Mortalities resulting from the inability to treat infections caused by resistant organisms have been recorded in significant numbers around the world. Mobile genetic elements such as integrons, transposons and gene cassettes, along with the lateral gene transfer which occurs between them, are largely responsible for the spread of resistance genes amongst pathogenic Gram negative bacteria. Integrons are gene expression systems capable of capturing and disseminating mobile gene elements such as gene cassettes. These gene cassettes, when associated with clinical integrons, predominantly code for antibiotic resistance genes. The fact that integrons allow both the integration and excision of multiple gene cassettes leads to the efficient spread of multi-drug resistance amongst pathogenic bacteria. This project investigates antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli by examining class 1 integrons within several contexts. A collection of 718 E. coli isolates were obtained from clinical sources, primarily originating from urinary tract infections. These isolates were typed for antibiotic resistance capabilities and tested for class 1 and 2 integron presence. Integron cassette arrays were characterized, sequenced and mapped. In the collection, 23% of isolates carried class 1 integrons, while 3% carried a class 2 integron. Eight distinct cassette arrays were detected, consisting of gene cassettes solely from the aadA and dfrA families. Since identical integrons and cassette arrays appeared in a range of E. coli phylotypes and clonal lines, there appears to be significant and ongoing lateral gene transfer between E. coli lineages.

Post-GFC remuneration in the Australian banking industry: the impact of remuneration guidance on the alignment between pay-performance sensitivity and prudent risk-taking
Creators: name: Ng, Cheok Man
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This study investigates empirically the relation between remuneration and performance for the CEO and top 5 highest paid executives in Australian banks in the pre- and post-GFC periods. Pay-performance sensitivity is influenced by remuneration policy, and is based on agency theory. In the post GFC period, financial firms were pressured internationally to redesign managerial remuneration in the face of many studies pointing at poor remuneration practices in the financial sector as a cause of the GFC. Australia's implementation of a remuneration guideline (Prudential Practice Guide: PPG 511 - Remuneration) in 2009 was designed to align pay-performance sensitivity with prudent risk-taking through properly structured remuneration. This study makes an original contribution by evaluating the impact of implementing Remuneration Guidelines in the Australian banking sector. Using a 13-year sample covering all Australian banks listed in the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) between 2003 and 2015, the results show that bank CEO remuneration became aligned with risk-taking in the post-guideline period. The absence of such an alignment in the pre-guideline period may suggest that the introduction of the remuneration guidelines had an impact on practice. I also find that a strong interest alignment between top executives and shareholders remains in the post-guideline period in the Australian banking industry.
Instability and mixing in a turbulent stratified Taylor-Couette Flow

description: In this thesis, we investigate mixing mechanisms in a stably stratified turbulent Taylor-Couette flow, which is the flow in the annular region of two co-axial cylinders, both capable of rotating at different speeds independently, in the presence of vertical stable stratification. Oglethorpe (2014) found that, for an initially linearly stratified Taylor-Couette (STC) flow with fixed outer cylinder, the flow spontaneously forms well-mixed layers of constant height separated by sharp density gradient interfaces. She also observed a quasi-periodic mixing phenomenon across the interfaces. Through laser induced fluorescence and particle images velocimetery, we discover the structure of this mixing instability. We find that the mixing occurs as a result of a flow phenomenon generated by two in-phase boundary trapped waves, with azimuthal wavenumber $m=1$, riding on the interface. We further look into the flux across the interface resulting from this instability. We find that, for high stratification, the molecular diffusion plays a significant part in the overall observed flux across the interface, and the buoyancy flux does not tend to a constant as previously discussed by Oglethorpe (2014). As a result, we find that the entrainment coefficient, $E\sim Ri_B^{-3/2}$, where $Ri_B = g'\frac{R_2}{(\Omega R_1)^2}$ with $R_1$ and $R_2$ being the inner and the outer cylinder radii respectively and $\Omega$ being the angular velocity of the inner cylinder, which is consistent with the classical observations of Turner (1968). Overall, we observe that the buoyancy flux monotonically increases as the mixing occurs (i.e. with reducing $Ri_B$) to a maximum where the interface is overturned by the turbulent eddies present in each of the layers. Furthermore, we perform stability analysis of the STC flow using a base flow having a dependence in both the radial $r$ and the axial $z$ directions,using the mean turbulent flow profile varying in $r$ as the base velocity profile and a density profile with a sharp gradient in the $z$ direction as the base density profile. Using our model, we are able to consistently predict the period of the empirically observed instability, which suggests that this instability has its origins in a linear instability. Finally, we look at the implications of rotating the outer cylinder on the observed instability. Through qualitative experiments and stability analysis, we discover that the same instability exists even outside the domain of centrifugal instability prescribed by Rayleigh's criterion (Rayleigh, 1917).

description: Huffman (1973) described ‘syntactic borrowing’ between Thai and Khmer, coming to the general conclusion that many aspects of Khmer syntax pattern unidirectionally after Thai as the result of extensive language contact. While the parallelism that holds between them remains striking, Thai is by no means the sole or obvious source of influence on Khmer. In order to draw firm conclusions about the historical syntax of Khmer, the Mon-Khmer branch, or of Austroasiatic generally, a cross-family perspective is required. We must not simply show their similarity, but either demonstrate or rule out larger family resemblance, larger geographic convergence, or mutual influence on both languages from a third source. Increasing access to comparative data, diachronic data from epigraphic texts, and understanding of sociohistorical facts about mainland Southeast Asia, all motivate revisiting Huffman’s conclusions through careful point-by-point comparison of syntactic features. Each feature shared by Khmer and Thai can now be examined from a broader perspective than has been previously accomplished. Numeral classifiers serve as a ­­case study in how we might approach each facet of this syntactic parallelism more thoroughly. This helps us to better determine the strength of the evidence at hand, and to move towards a more complete picture of how contact-induced change occurs in areas with strong linguistic convergence.

description: Research on spatial non-stationarity of land-cover classification accuracy has been ongoing for over two decades with most of the work focusing on single date maps. We extend the understanding of thematic map accuracy spatial patterns by: (1) quantifying spatial patterns of map-reference agreement for class-specific land-cover change rather than class-specific land cover for both omission and commission expressions of map error; (2) reporting goodness-of-fit estimates for the empirical models, which have been lacking in previous assessments, and; (3) using the empirical model results to map the locations of the relative likelihoods of map-reference agreement for specific land-cover change classes. We evaluated 10 map-based explanatory variables in single and multivariable logistic regression models to predict the likelihood of agreement between map and reference land-cover change (2001–2011) labels using the National Land Cover Database (NLCD) 2011 land cover and accuracy data. Logistic models for omission error had better goodness-of-fit estimates than models for commission error. For the omission error models, the explanatory variable, density of the mapped class-specific change in the immediate neighbourhood surrounding the sample pixel, produced the best model fit results (Tjur coefficient of discrimination, D, ranged from 0.59 to 0.98) compared to multivariable models and all other single explanatory variable models. Maps of the predicted likelihood of map-reference agreement produced from the best fitting omission error models provide a spatially explicit description of spatial variation of classification uncertainty at both local and regional scales. Application of the models indicated higher likelihoods of agreement (>50%) comprised a greater proportion of the land-cover change class area than the proportion of the land-cover change class with lower likelihoods of agreement. NLCD users can apply reported equations to map land-cover change uncertainty.

description: Magnetic nanoparticles are important building blocks for future technologies ranging from nano-medicine to spintronics. Many related applications require nanoparticles with tailored magnetic properties. However, despite significant efforts undertaken towards this goal, a broad and poorly-understood dispersion of magnetic properties is reported, even within mono-disperse samples of the canonical ferromagnetic 3d transition metals. We address this issue by investigating the magnetism of a large number of size- and shape-selected, individual nanoparticles of Fe, Co, and Ni using a unique set of complementary characterization techniques. At room temperature only superparamagnetic behavior is observed in our experiments for all Ni nanoparticles within the investigated sizes, which range from 8 to 20 nm. However, Fe and Co nanoparticles can exist in two distinct magnetic states at any size in this range: (i) a superparamagnetic state as expected from the bulk and surface anisotropies known for the respective materials and as observed for Ni; and (ii) a state with unexpected stable magnetization at room temperature. This striking state is assigned to significant modifications of the magnetic properties arising from metastable lattice defects in the core of the nanoparticles as concluded by calculations and atomic structural characterization. Also related with the structural defects, we find that the magnetic state of Fe and Co nanoparticles can be tuned by thermal treatment enabling one to tailor their magnetic properties for applications. This work demonstrates the importance of complementary single particle investigations for a better understanding of nanoparticle magnetism and for full exploration of their potential for applications.

An Aboriginal ontology of being and place: the performance of Aboriginal property relations in the Princess Charlotte Bay area of eastern Cape York Peninsula, Australia

description: This thesis presents an ethnographic study of the property relations of the Aboriginal people of Princess Charlotte Bay area of eastern Cape York Peninsula, Australia. It sets out the possibilities of inscribing an interpretive account of Aboriginal property relations, and the land tenure system that the subjects themselves subscribe to as matters of tradition and custom, albeit changing and dynamic, by means of an investigation of the performative aspects of the social and subjective expression of these matters. Critical and interpretive theorists and exponents of phenomenological approaches to anthropological endeavour enriched my capacity to explain the distinctively Aboriginal conceptions of such matters - an Aboriginal ontology of being and place - grounded in an Aboriginal way of conceptualising the world. Despite the radical alteration to their traditional economic and social life that followed colonisation and enforced settlement, groups of traditional owners, guided by Elders, maintained their traditions of property relations in estates and territories, and other phenomena, reinvigorating them with strategic interventions that transformed the burden of their subaltern history into a vision for the future. They engaged with the consequences of the changes that resulted from the settler colonisation of their world, and continued to practise rituals and customs which inscribe places with sacred meaning and historical memory and express the legitimacy of their tenure. Such traditions include a range of classical and postcolonial Aboriginal social principles and laws, including descent principles and language affiliation, religious beliefs and customs, the practice of various rituals, and their land use and management practices. In this study, their knowledge and practices concerning use of fire and water forms and bodies are revealed as active and purposeful stewardship of land and waterscapes and the flora and fauna on which they still depend to a significant extent for their livelihoods, and critically as the performance of property relations. Property relations are found to be embedded in the texture of other social relations and subservient to the fundamental social relationship with the sacred ancestral past which bestows not just property rights, but a social world, as a sacred endowment.

The exact thermal partition function is expressed in terms of an ordinary bosonic integral, which has an eigenvalue repulsion term in the matrix case. We calculate real time correlations at finite temperature and analyze the thermal phase structure. When possible, calculations are performed in both the original Hilbert space as well as the bosonic picture, and the exact map between the two is explained. At large $N$, there is a phase transition to a highly entropic high temperature phase from a low temperature low entropy phase. Thermal two-point functions decay in time in the high temperature phase.

description: Hazard assessments of Irgarol 1051, diuron, 2-(thiocyanomethylthio)benzothiazole (TCMTB), dichloro-octylisothiazolin (DCOIT), chlorothalonil, dichlofluanid, thiram, zinc pyrithione, copper pyrithione, triphenylborane pyridine (TPBP), capsaicin, nonivamide, tralopyril and medetomidine were performed to establish robust environmental quality standards (EQS), based on predicted no effect concentrations (PNECs). Microalgae, zooplankton, fish and amphibians were the most sensitive ecological groups to all the antifoulants evaluated, especially in the early life stages. No differences were identified between freshwater and seawater species. The use of toxicity tests with non-standard species is encouraged because they increase the datasets, allowing EQS to be derived from probabilistic-based PNECs whilst reducing uncertainties. The global ban of tributyltin (TBT) has been heralded as a major environmental success; however, substitute antifoulants may also pose risks to aquatic ecosystems. Environmental risk assessments (ERAs) have driven decision-makings for regulating antifouling products, but in many countries there is still a lack of regulation of antifouling biocides which should be addressed.

description: The hot electrons in the intra-cluster medium produce a spectral distorsion of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) black body emission, the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (tSZ). This characteristic spectral distorsion is now commonly used to detect and characterize the properties of galaxy clusters. The tSZ effect spectral distorsion does not depends on the redshift, and is only slightly affected by the galaxy cluster properties via the relativistic corrections, when the electrons reach relativistic velocities. The present work proposes a linear component separation approach to extract the tSZ effect Compton parameter and relativistic corrections for next-generation CMB experiments. We demonstrated that relativistic corrections, if neglected, would induce a significant bias on galaxy cluster Compton parameter, tSZ scaling relation slope, and tSZ angular power spectrum shape measurements. We showed that tSZ relativistic corrections mapping can be achieved at high signal-to-noise ratio with a low level of contamination up to $\ell=3000$ for next generation CMB experiments. At smaller angular scales the contamination produced by infra-red emission will be a significant source of bias. Such tSZ relativistic corrections mapping enables the study of galaxy cluster temperature profile via the tSZ effect only.

description: Self-complementary building units of carboxylate head-containing oxacalix[2]arene[2]triazines were synthesised by inserting different flexible linkers in between the macrocyclic skeleton and carboxylate. The anion-π directed self-assembly of these building units in solution and in gas phase was systematically investigated by concentration and temperature variable 1H NMR, diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and ESI-MS.
On the Relation Between Two Approaches to Necessary Optimality Conditions in Problems with State Constraints

description: We consider a class of optimal control problems with a state constraint and investigate a trajectory with a single boundary interval (subarc). Following R.V. Gamkrelidze, we differentiate the state constraint along the boundary subarc, thus reducing the original problem to a problem with mixed control-state constraints, and show that this way allows one to obtain the full system of stationarity conditions in the form of A.Ya. Dubovitskii and A.A. Milyutin, including the sign definiteness of the measure (state constraint multiplier), i.e., the nonnegativity of its density and atoms at junction points. The stationarity conditions are obtained by a two-stage variation approach, proposed in this paper. At the first stage, we consider only those variations, which do not affect the boundary interval, and obtain optimality conditions in the form of Gamkrelidze. At the second stage, the variations are concentrated on the boundary interval, thus making possible to specify the stationarity conditions and obtain the sign of density and atoms of the measure.

Delivering 'valuable' justice: measuring the Impact of law reform advocacy by the not-for-profit legal sector
Creators: name: Stevens, Rebekah
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: In this thesis, I argue that the law reform advocacy work of the Not-for-profit (NFP) legal sector has significant value and should be protected and supported. Current law and practice in Australia do not protect NFP law reform advocacy. Further, funding arrangements restrict or prohibit this important work, and non-legal barriers compound the issue. There is a strong case that NFP legal work should be protected and supported. NFP law reform advocacy has significant legal value in delivering access to justice, and there is clear economic value in that NFP law reform advocacy supports effective and efficient law reform. However, there is a lack of robust supporting evidence. Social return on investment (SROI) is a method that may help fill this gap. An exploratory baseline SROI analysis is conducted with a focus on one component of NFP law reform advocacy. By taking a stakeholder focused approach that measures the social and economic impacts valued by both government and the NFP legal sector, SROI provides the potential to balance economic legitimacy for law reform advocacy with the quest for social justice.

description: This study focuses on the preparation of functional cotton with high and durable antibacterial activity by in situ formation of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) onto cotton fabric derived from phytic acid-Ag complex. The route can be divided into two simple steps, adsorption of silver ions onto cellulose matrix with phytic acid as a capture agent and subsequent reduction of Ag+ to Ag NPs by sodium borohydride. The successful deposition of Ag NPs on cotton fabric was verified by SEM, EDS and XPS. The bacterial reduction rate against E. coli and S. aureus for the as-treated fabrics was above 99%, even after 10 laundry cycles. The phytic acid was found of benefit to distribution and bonding of silver on the cotton fabric, which might lead to the enhancement of antibacterial property and durability against wash. This study may provide a green, novel and simple strategy to manufacture Ag-based antibacterial cotton for potential applications in textile industry.

description: The Liberating Power of the Gospel. The Healing of Young People Narratives and their Message (IN ROMANIAN) Parents care for their kids in the late teens and worry about their transition to adulthood. They strive for their children’s health, education, economic solidity and for their place in society. However, very few care about their children’s faith. It is well known, that children are prone to inherit the glories and miseries of their progenitors and educators, a fact that prevents them from building their future in freedom.
 In the present article we shall analyze a selection of five pericopes following the Matthean narrative and in permanent comparison with the other two Synoptic Gospels: Mt 8:5-13; 9:18-26; Lk 7:11-17; Mt 15:21-28; 17:14-21. In these five scenes, Jesus visits families from different social and religious strata, who have young sons and daughters suffering from the wearisome burdens of their immediate context. Jesus Christ passes by their place and gives them the motivation to build an adult life based on the civilization of love. This is a theological exegetical approach that can shed some light on the sources of our faith in order to improve the pastoral mission of the Church for the sake of the upcoming generations.

description: Histidine-dialkoxyanthracene (HDA) was synthesised as a turn off type fluorescent sensor for fast and sensitive detection of mercury ions (Hg2+) in aqueous media. The two histidine moieties act as ‘claws’ to selectively complex Hg2+. The binding ratio of HDA to Hg2+ was 1:1 (metal-to-ligand ratio). The association constant for Hg2+ towards the receptor HDA obtained from Benesi–Hildebrand plot was found to be 3.22 × 104 M−1 with detection limit as low as 4.7 nM (0.94 μg/L).

description: Starting from several monthly data sets of Rosetta's COmetary Pressure Sensor we reconstruct the gas density in the coma around comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The underlying inverse gas model is constructed by fitting ten thousands of measurements to thousands of potential gas sources distributed across the entire nucleus surface. The ensuing self-consistent solution for the entire coma density and surface activity reproduces the temporal and spatial variations seen in the data for monthly periods with Pearson correlation coefficients of 0.93 and higher. For different seasonal illumination conditions before and after perihelion we observe a systematic shift of gas sources on the nucleus.
