description: In $D=4$, $\cal{N}=1$ conformal superspace, the Yang-Mills matter coupled supergravity system is constructed where the Yang-Mills gauge interaction is introduced by extending the superconformal group to include the Kähler isometry group of chiral matter fields. There are two gauge-fixing procedures to get to the component Poincaré supergravity: one via the superconformal component formalism and the other via the Poincaré superspace formalism. These two types of superconformal gauge-fixing conditions are analyzed in detail and their correspondence is clarified.

description: In this work we perform a Bayesian statistical fit to estimate the mass-to-distance ratio and the recessional redshift of 10 different black holes hosted at the centre of active galactic nuclei, namely the galaxies NGC 5765b, NGC 6323, UGC 3789, CGCG 074-064, ESO 558-G009, NGC 2960, NGC 6264, NGC 4388, J0437+2456 and NGC 2273. Our general relativistic method makes use of the positions in the sky and frequency shift observations of water megamasers circularly orbiting the central black hole on their accretion disks. This approach also allows us to quantify the gravitational redshift which is not considered in a Newtonian analysis. The gravitational redshift of the megamasers closest to the black hole is found to be within the range 1-6 km/s. The order of the fitted black hole masses corresponds to supermassive black holes and lies on the range $10^6 - 10^7$ M_{sun}

description: Ionic liquids have gained remarkable attention as they are environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional solvents. The use of ionic liquids in chemical reactions can also provide considerable advantages such as enhanced production yields. This thesis explores the potential use of ionic liquids for improving formaldehyde production from carbon monoxide at lower temperatures and pressures compared to existing processes that suffer from significant energy losses. In addition, the computer-based methodology developed in this thesis provides in-depth insights into industrial scale designs and commercial viability of this novel process.

description: The energy band structure of excitons is studied in periodic potentials produced by the short-range interaction between the exciton and electrons of Wigner or Moiré lattices. Treating the exciton as a point-like dipole that interacts with the periodic potential, we can solve a simple one-body problem that provides valuable information on excitons in many-body problem settings. By employing group theory, we identify the excitonic energy bands that can couple to light and then quantify their energy shifts in response to a change in the period of the potential. This approach allows us to emulate the response of optically active exciton and trion states to a change in electron density. We gain important insights on the relation between the electron order in a Wigner crystal and the energy blueshift of the bright exciton. We discuss the consequences of this relation in the context of optical absorption experiments in monolayer semiconductors.

description: The relations between star formation and properties of molecular clouds are studied based on a sample of star forming regions in the Galactic Plane. Sources were selected by having radio recombination lines to provide identification of associated molecular clouds and dense clumps. Radio continuum and mid-infrared emission were used to determine star formation rates, while 13CO and submillimeter dust continuum emission were used to obtain masses of molecular and dense gas, respectively. We test whether total molecular gas or dense gas provides the best predictor of star formation rate. We also test two specific theoretical models, one relying on the molecular mass divided by the free-fall time, the other using the free-fall time divided by the crossing time. Neither is supported by the data. The data are also compared to those from nearby star forming regions and extragalactic data. The star formation "efficiency," defined as star formation rate divided by mass, spreads over a large range when the mass refers to molecular gas; the standard deviation of the log of the efficiency decreases by a factor of three when the mass of relatively dense molecular gas is used rather than the mass of all the molecular gas.

The crisis of the Sudanese post-colonial state and conflict in Darfur

Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis examines the causes of the conflict in the western Sudanese region of Darfur within the context of the crisis of the post-colonial African state. The Sudan's political instability, recurrent civil wars and crisis of identity provide an important context for understanding the pressures which motivated Darfur's rebels to take-up arms against the government in 2003. -- The thesis argues that the crisis of the African state that has unfolded since independence is a basis for contextualizing the conflict in Darfur. The crisis of the African state is explained by exploring the colonial legacies and the international trajectories which have shaped the decisions made by political actors at the national and local levels. Colonial legacies are important markers for the post-colonial state in Africa but those legacies have been influenced by powerful post-colonial forces including the cold war, the 1970s economic crash, and neo-liberalism and the African economic disaster that followed. -- The Sudanese post-colonial state and politics have been profoundly affected by colonial legacies and international factors but the conflict in Darfur is still inextricably entangled within questions of state-power and national identity which have been recurring problems in the Sudan. The thesis integrates Darfur into the wider machinations and dynamics of Sudanese politics to explain what influence Darfur has had on the questions of state-power and national identity, as well as how Darfur has been influenced by those same issues. Wider international forces also play a role but the vital piece in understanding the conflict is located in the changes to state-power and national-identity that occurred with the rise of the Islamist movement that captured state power in the Sudan in the 1990s and the fracturing of the movement in 1999/2000. -- The part played by the Islamist state and the politics that followed the demise of the Islamist state is the crucial final piece in forming a fuller appreciation of what led to the war in Darfur.

description: Chimera graphs define the topology of one of the first commercially available quantum computers. A variety of optimization problems have been mapped to this topology to evaluate the behavior of quantum enhanced optimization heuristics in relation to other optimizers, being able to efficiently solve problems classically to use them as benchmarks for quantum machines. In this paper we investigate for the first time the use of Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) on Ising spin glass instances defined on the Chimera topology. Three genetic algorithms (GAs) and three estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) are evaluated over $1000$ hard instances of the Ising spin glass constructed from Sidon sets. We focus on determining whether the information about the topology of the graph can be used to improve the results of EAs and on identifying the characteristics of the Ising instances that influence the success rate of GAs and EDAs.

Physiology of chilling-related postharvest rind breakdown of navel oranges (Citrus Sinensis (L.) Osbeck)
Creators: name: Lindhout, Katina
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Abstract: Chilling-related postharvest rind breakdown of navel oranges is a significant economic problem worldwide. Chilling injury (CI) symptoms on navel orange fruit vary, and descriptive classification is generally ad hoc, making inter-study comparisons difficult. In this study, external symptoms of CI were related to patterns of cellular collapse in affected flavedo tissue, and a classification system developed to aid consistent symptom identification and improve communication within the supply chain. Potential markers of senescence were evaluated because older fruit were found to be more susceptible to CI. Electrolyte leakage, moisture content and protein content of flavedo tissue were ineffective indicators of both senescence and chilling stress. Rind colour and internal maturity were generally good indicators of fruit age, but lacked sensitivity over short time periods to be of use. Although there was a strong seasonal effect on CI incidence, pre-storage treatments, including hot water and methyl jasmonate, generally reduced the incidence of CI.Because these treatments elicit defence responses that protect tissue from chilling stress, the response and efficiency of plant defence systems is probably an important factor in chilling tolerance. The concentration of lipid hydroperoxides (LOOH) in flavedo tissue was lower in fruit that were stored at a chilling temperature (1deg C) compared to fruit that were stored at a non-chilling temperature (12deg C) and lipid peroxidation did not increase during storage at 1deg C. There was also a lower concentration of LOOH in the chilling sensitive variety than in the chilling tolerant variety. Therefore, increased lipid peroxidation is not related to chilling stress and subsequent injury but the results do suggest a role for LOOH in stress signalling. Antioxidant activity in the lipophilic fraction of flavedo tissue extracts increased as fruit senesced and was strongly correlated with carotenoid content. LOOH concentrations in flavedo tissue also increased as fruit senesced. The antioxidant activity of both the lipophilic and hydrophilic fractions of flavedo tissue extracts was higher in fruit stored at 12deg C than in fruit stored at 1deg C.

description: In this study, we calculate the sensitivity reach on the vector leptoquark (LQ) $U_1$ at the experiments proposed in Forward Physics Facility (FPF), including FASER$ν$, FASER$\nu2$, FLArE (10 tons), and FLArE (100 tons) using the neutrino-nucleon scattering ($νN \rightarrow νN'$ and $νN \rightarrow l N'$). We cover a wide mass range of $10^{-3}$ GeV $\leq M_{LQ}\leq 10^4$ GeV. The new result shows that the FLArE (100 tons) offers the best sensitivity to the LQ model. The sensitivity curves for all the experiments follow a similar pattern with weakened sensitivities with the increment of the LQ mass. We combine the sensitivities obtained from the neutral- and charged-current interactions of the neutrinos.

description: We analyzed the noncommutativity effects on the Fisher information (F_(r,p)) and Shannon entropies (S_(r,p)) of a harmonic oscillator immersed in a time-varying electric field in two and three dimensions. We find the exact solutions of the respective time-dependent Schrödinger equation and use them to calculate the Fisher information and the Shannon entropy for the simplest case corresponding the lowest-lying state of each system. While there is no problem in defining the Shannon entropy for noncommutating spaces, the definition of the Fisher information had to be modified to satisfy the Cramer-Rao inequalities. We observe for both systems, how the Fisher information and Shannon entropy in position and momentum change due to the noncommutativity of the space. We verified that the Bialynicki-Birula-Mycielski (BBM) entropic uncertainty relation still holds in the systems considered.

description: Creating extended, highly homogeneous plasma columns like that required by plasma wakefield accelerators can be a challenge. We study the propagation of ultra-short, TW power ionizing laser pulses in a 10-meter-long rubidium vapor and the plasma columns they create. We perform experiments and numerical simulations for pulses with 780 nm central wavelength, which is resonant with the D$_2$ transition from the ground state of rubidium atoms, as well as for pulses with 810 nm central wavelength, some distance from resonances. We measure transmitted energy and transverse width of the pulse and use schlieren imaging to probe the plasma column in the vapor close to the end of the vapor source. We find, that resonant pulses are more confined in a transverse direction by the interaction than off-resonant pulses are and that the plasma channels they create are more sharply bounded. Off-resonant pulses leave a wider layer of partially ionized atoms and thus lose more energy per unit propagation distance. Using experimental data, we estimate the energy required to generate a 20-meter-long plasma column and conclude that resonant pulses are much more suitable for creating a long, homogeneous plasma.

Plant recruitment across alpine summits in south-eastern Australia
Creators: name: Venn, Susanna Elizabeth
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: This thesis investigated aspects of plant recruitment across an altitudinal gradient of mountain tops in the Victorian Alps, Australia, and provides a baseline for the patterns and processes of alpine plant recruitment in the absence of large-scale disturbance. The patterns in alpine vegetation across the study sites were described in relation to abiotic environmental factors. Temperatures were lower and precipitation was higher at the high altitude sites. The vegetation did not differ significantly between the sites, although sites at low altitudes were shrubbier than those at high altitudes. Analysis of the soil seed bank revealed high mean densities of germinable seed (80 to 1400 seeds m-²) across the gradient of sites. The similarity between the seed bank samples and the standing vegetation was low (qualitative similarity: 0.08 to 0.2; quantitative similarity: 0.03 to 0.19). In laboratory germination experiments, I found rapid and substantial germination. Final percent germination was above 90% for most species. One species, Aciphylla glacialis, showed evidence of dormancy mechanisms. In subsequent experiments, I found that innate primary seed dormancy in this species could be broken with cold-wet stratification.There were no significant patterns in natural seedling recruitment across the altitudinal gradient. Similarities between the seedling flora and the standing vegetation were low (qualitative similarity: 0.18 to 0.45: quantitative similarity 0.04 to 0.09). Mean seedling density was best predicted by a combination of soil wilting point, altitude and plant litter. In some cases, seedling density was greater than 80 seedlings m-². The relative importance of either negative (competitive) or positive (facilitative) interactions between seedlings with adjacent vegetation were investigated in relation to seed germination, seedling growth and seedling survival. Facilitative interactions were common at the higher altitude sites. At lower altitudes, facilitative and competitive interactions were common. Without close neighbours at high altitudes, seedlings were unlikely to survive into their second year. An understanding of plant recruitment can provide a useful basis for predicting species responses to large-scale disturbance and climate change.
Emotion regulation in children with an anxiety disorder: the role of parent factors

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Childhood anxiety disorders are among the most common forms of psychopathology and confer significant psychosocial impairments to functioning. To enhance understanding of these disabling disorders, this thesis examined emotion regulation in clinically anxious children (ages 5-16) and the role of parental emotion socialisation practices. Chapter 2 presented a study on parental reactions to children’s negative emotions and child emotion regulation in a sample of 134 children. Results showed that mothers of anxious children espoused less supportive emotion socialisation practices than mothers of non-anxious children. Fathers overall were significantly less supportive than mothers when reacting to children’s emotions. Overall, anxious children were found to have greater difficulty managing negative emotions compared to non-anxious children. Parental emotion socialisation practices were associated with children’s emotion regulation. Chapter 3 reported an observational study on associations between supportive and non-supportive maternal reactions and mother and child anxiety (N = 89). Findings suggested that a combination of maternal and child anxiety status influenced levels of supportive reactions towards children, with nonanxious mothers displaying more support towards non-anxious children. Compared to interactions between non-anxious mothers’ and their children, anxious mothers displayed a less supportive and more non-supportive interaction style. Overall, nonsupportive maternal reactions were expressed more frequently towards anxious children. In chapter 4, a study was presented on parental meta-emotion philosophies, observed emotion coaching behaviours and child emotion regulation in a sample of 109 children. Compared to parents of non-anxious children, parents of anxious children were characterised by less emotion-coaching and were less aware of their own and children’s emotions, although this awareness varied by emotion type. Anxious children also evidenced greater difficulty regulating a range of negative emotions compared to non-anxious children. Finally, in chapter 5, child emotion regulation and parental emotion socalisation were examined as predictors of treatment outcome in 105 clinically anxious children. After controlling for initial anxiety severity, maternal nonsupportive reactions predicted symptom change, whilst child emotion dysregulation played a role in predicting both anxiety symptom change and remission. Taken together, this thesis extends our understanding of the role of familial factors in childhood anxiety disorders and child emotion functioning, with implications for treatment.

description: Entanglement entropy under a particle bipartition provides complementary information to mode entanglement as it is sensitive to interactions and particle statistics at leading order and does not depend on any externally imposed length scale. In this paper, we investigate the particle entanglement entropy in a system of $N$ interacting spinless lattice fermions in one spatial dimension by combining bosonization techniques with exact and approximate numerical methods. We introduce a general scaling form for the fermionic particle entanglement entropy captured by a shape function that enters as a extensive interaction induced correction to a known free fermion result. A general asymptotic expansion in the total number of particles demonstrates that its form is robust for different values of the Rényi index and highlights how quantum correlations are encoded in the $n$-particle density matrix of a pure many-body quantum state.

description: Investigates one teacher's reflections in order to "ascertain possibilities for informing the question of what it means to 'be wise' or 'act wisely' in an educational setting". The study involves 'hermeneutic inteviews' and the philosophical approach of the research is articulated as a 'Practical-Philosophy Paradigm'.. In the progress of human lives, matters of choice and action are negotiated on a daily basis. The thesis takes this observation as its point of departure for a philosophical exploration of the question 'What is wisdom?'. After consideration of particular challenges that can be associated with wisdom inquiry, the contextualisation of the wisdom question as a practical concern is further developed by attending to the field of education. Here the wisdom question is investigated in a context where teaching is considered as an aspirational endeavour. The so-called problem of 'the gap' between aspiration and experienced reality in the practice of teaching is presented as a more specific context or point of reference for the exploration. A study of one teacher's reflections is conducted in order to ascertain possibilities for informing the question of what it means to 'be wise' or 'act wisely' in an educational setting. The study involves 'hernleneutic interviews' and the philosophical approach of the research is articulated as a 'Practical-Philosophy Paradigm' . It is proposed that the wisdom question can be usefully explored by developing a 'conversation' which draws upon two primary sources in this process of contextualisation. These two sources consist of the theoretical-philosophical perspectives contained in the literature and the 'voice' of the teacher with specific or extensive experience of the relevant concerns. The thesis accordingly aims to contribute a formulation, or way of considering the wisdom question more carefully, based on the transdisciplinary implications of the theoretical perspectives and the richness of practitioner-derived knowledge. This formulation, introduced n the opening chapter, proposes that wisdom is the balanced integration or 'nexus' of two contexts: a Context of Profundity where hermeneutical reflection is drawn towards the deeper meanings of human experience, and a Context of Practicality where wisdom is associated with the resolution of problems or the progress of human lives. The themes of profundity and practicality are found to be useful in the analyses of both the wisdom-related material in the literature and the teacher's articulation of his approach. In general, the wisdom question is encountered in the exploration as a challenge to learn a dynamic, creative and reflexive approach. For both the teacher and the researcher, the challenge is understood to be implicated in the deeper questions of the meaning of lived experience and in the practical concerns that accompany such experience.

description: Single-file diffusion is a ubiquitous physical process exploited by living and synthetic systems to exchange molecules with their environment. It is paramount quantifying the escape time needed for single files of particles to exit from constraining synthetic channels and biological pores. This quantity depends on complex cooperative effects, whose predominance can only be established through a strict comparison between theory and experiments. By using colloidal particles, optical manipulation, microfluidics, digital microscopy and theoretical analysis we uncover the self-similar character of the escape process and provide closed-formula evaluations of the escape time. We find that the escape time scales inversely with the diffusion coefficient of the last particle to leave the channel. Importantly, we find that at the investigated {\bf microscale}, bias forces as tiny as $10^{-15}\;{\rm N}$ determine the magnitude of the escape time by drastically reducing interparticle collisions. Our findings provide crucial guidelines to optimize the design of micro- and nano-devices for a variety of applications including drug delivery, particle filtering and transport in geometrical constrictions.

description: Dynamical system theory is a widely used technique in the analysis of cosmological models. Within this framework, the equations describing the dynamics of a model are recast in terms of dimensionless variables, which evolve according to a set of autonomous first-order differential equations. The fixed points of this autonomous set encode the asymptotic evolution of the model. Usually, these points can be written as analytical expressions for the variables in terms of the parameters of the model, which allows a complete characterization of the corresponding parameter space. However, a thoroughly analytical treatment is impossible in some cases. In this work, we give an example of a dark energy model, a scalar field coupled to a vector field in an anisotropic background, where not all the fixed points can be analytically found. Then, we put forward a general scheme that provides a numerical description of the parameter space. This allows us to find interesting accelerated attractors of the system with no analytical representation. This work may serve as a template for the numerical analysis of highly complicated dynamical systems.

The implications of chemical defence on animal decisions in escape theory

description: Decisions made by prey during a predator attack have direct impact on fitness. The prey's escape strategy is influenced by a range of factors such as the distance prey are from their refuge, type of anti-predator defence used, location of the predator and speed and directness of predator approach. Although defence type is previously considered, they are primarily limited to either flight decisions or adaptive colouration strategies. In contrast, the implications of possessing chemical defences have been overlooked. In this thesis, I investigate the conditions under which the peppermint stick insect (Megacrania batesii) deploys its chemical defence. Previous lab experiments failed to induce spraying prior to contact which contradicts field observations. This suggested the likelihood of spraying is contextual. Subsequently, I tested the a priori that this stick insect is more likely to use their spray the further they are from their refuge. Results indicate distance to refuge has an influence on the likelihood of spraying. I also describe a novel flight strategy and discuss the implications of these findings relative to escape theory in light of theories on the maintenance of parthenogenesis -- abstract.

description: We demonstrate a new technique in velocity map imaging (VMI) that allows spatial gating of the laser focal overlap region in time resolved pump-probe experiments. This significantly enhances signal-to-noise ratio by eliminating background signal arising outside the region of spatial overlap of pump and probe beams. This enhancement is achieved by tilting the laser beams with respect to the surface of the VMI electrodes which creates a gradient in flight time for particles born at different points along the beam. By suitably pulsing our microchannel plate detector, we can select particles born only where the laser beams overlap. This spatial gating in velocity map imaging can benefit nearly all photoion pump-probe VMI experiments especially when extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) light or X-rays are involved which produce large background signals on their own.

description: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the leading cause of acute viral hepatitis. Numerous studies have investigated the dynamics of HEV infection markers, but the most suitable marker for diagnosing ongoing or recent HEV infection remains to be determined. Recent evidence suggests that serum antigen testing is superior to serum IgM and RNA quantification. Moreover, it has been found that infected individuals excrete HEV antigen in significant quantities through urine. To address this question, we conducted a longitudinal analysis involving 16 patients with acute or chronic HEV infection in an area where genotype 3 HEV is prevalent. Our findings indicate that the diagnostic and monitoring capabilities of antigen testing for HEV infection can be further enhanced by measuring it in urine. Additionally, we were able to demonstrate that this enhancement is likely due to the presence of HEV-reactive IgG in blood plasma, which hampers efficient detection of HEV antigen through sandwich ELISA. In conclusion, urine-based antigen testing appears to be superior to measuring anti-HEV antibodies or viral RNA for diagnosing suspected HEV infection and monitoring ongoing infections.

description: The analysis of event data from production systems is the basis for many applications associated with Industry 4.0. However, heterogeneous and disjoint data is common in this domain. As a consequence, contextual information of an event might be incomplete or improperly interpreted which results in suboptimal analysis results. This paper proposes an approach to access a production systems' event data based on the event data's context (such as the product type, process type or process parameters). The approach extracts filtered event logs from a database system by combining: 1) a semantic model of a production system's hierarchical structure, 2) a formalized process description and 3) an OPC UA information model. As a proof of concept we demonstrate our approach using a sample server based on OPC UA for Machinery Companion Specifications.

Influence of the vector interaction and an external magnetic field on the isentropes near the chiral critical end point

description: The location of the critical end point (CEP) and the isentropic trajectories in the QCD phase diagram are investigated. We use the (2+1) Nambu$-$Jona-Lasinio model with the Polyakov loop coupling for different scenarios, namely by imposing zero strange quark density, which is the case in the ultra relativistic heavy-ion collisions, and $β$-equilibrium. The influence of strong magnetic fields and of the vector interaction on the isentropic trajectories around the CEP is discussed. It is shown that the vector interaction and the magnetic field, having opposite effects on the first-order transition, affect the isentropic trajectories differently: as the vector interaction increases, the first-order transition becomes weaker and the isentropes become smoother; when a strong magnetic field is considered, the first-order transition is strengthened and the isentropes are pushed to higher temperatures. No focusing of isentropes in region towards the CEP is seen.

Hepfidelity: Swing dance and the role of digital media in embodied practice

Publisher: name: La Trobe

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the School of Communication, Arts and Critical Enquiry, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, La Trobe University, Bundoora, Victoria, Australia.

This thesis adopts a cultural studies perspective to examine the ways in which contemporary swing dancers’ embodied dance practices and discourse are mediated by communications technology and institutions. My approach involved extensive participant observation, theorised in terms of the representation and negotiation of identity (in terms of gender, sexuality, class, race, ethnicity and age) in both the embodied discourse of dance, and in mediated discourse about dance. My discussion of swing dancers’ uses of mediated communication technologies draws on the extensive literature dealing with various forms of fandom, making use of the research methods and critical work of authors such as Henry Jenkins, Camille Bacon-Smith and Matt Hills. This thesis also draws on cultural studies of dance literature, and the work of researchers such as Jane Desmond and Helen Thomas. I also make particular reference to researchers in the field of African American vernacular dance, including Thomas DeFrantz, Katrina Hazzard-Gordon and Brenda Dixon Gottschild. Beyond dance, my project explores the uses of digital and audio-visual media (particularly online technologies, music media and new audio-visual technologies) in both constituting and informing public discourse. I use the term ‘public discourse’ with reference to authors such as Nancy Fraser and other writers on the ‘public sphere’ and citizenship.
