description: Recovering a photorealistic face from an artistic portrait is a challenging task since crucial facial details are often distorted or completely lost in artistic compositions. To handle this loss, we propose an Attribute-guided Face Recovery from Portraits (AFRP) that utilizes a Face Recovery Network (FRN) and a Discriminative Network (DN). FRN consists of an autoencoder with residual block-embedded skip-connections and incorporates facial attribute vectors into the feature maps of input portraits at the bottleneck of the autoencoder. DN has multiple convolutional and fully-connected layers, and its role is to enforce FRN to generate authentic face images with corresponding facial attributes dictated by the input attribute vectors. %Leveraging on the spatial transformer networks, FRN automatically compensates for misalignments of portraits. % and generates aligned face images. For the preservation of identities, we impose the recovered and ground-truth faces to share similar visual features. Specifically, DN determines whether the recovered image looks like a real face and checks if the facial attributes extracted from the recovered image are consistent with given attributes. %Our method can recover high-quality photorealistic faces from unaligned portraits while preserving the identity of the face images as well as it can reconstruct a photorealistic face image with a desired set of attributes. Our method can recover photorealistic identity-preserving faces with desired attributes from unseen stylized portraits, artistic paintings, and hand-drawn sketches. On large-scale synthesized and sketch datasets, we demonstrate that our face recovery method achieves state-of-the-art results.

description: This paper tests the hypothesis that meat and poultry wholesalers choose their inventory levels together with wholesale price so as to maximize profit made over the sales time of their stock. The behavioral assumption predicts that markup over average cost will match the inverse of the price elasticity of the sales time of inventory. Price elasticity of inventory sales time is estimated for beef, pork and poultry accounting for the simultaneity between these pricing decisions by adopting a systems approach. The estimated range for the inverse of these elasticities includes all the markups applied over the sample range of the time series.

description: A simplified Randall-Sundrum-like model in 6 dimensions is discussed. The extra two dimensions correspond to the cone. The effective four-dimensional scalar self-interacting theory is studied at one-loop level. The contributions due to 6-dimensional parameters in four-dimensional beta-functions appear. Using such beta-functions the one-loop effective potential is calculated. The possibility of spontaneous symmetry breaking due to extra dimensions is demonstrated.

description: We explored the possibility of realizing quantum anomalous Hall effect by placing heavy-element atomic layer on top of monolayer CrI$_{3}$ with a natural cleavage surface and broken time-reversal symmetry. We showed that CrI$_{3}$/X (X = Bi, Sb, or As) systems can open up a sizable bulk gap to harbour quantum anomalous Hall effect, e.g., CrI$_{3}$/Bi is a natural magnetic insulator with a bulk gap of 30~meV, which can be further enlarged via strain engineering or adjusting spin orientations. We also found that the ferromagnetic properties (magnetic anisotropic energy and Curie temperature) of pristine CrI$_{3}$ can be further improved due to the presence of heavy atomic layers, and the spin orientation can be utilized as a useful knob to tune the band structure and Fermi level of CrI$_{3}$/Bi system. The topological nature, together with the enhanced ferromagnetism, can unlock new potential applications for CrI$_{3}$-based materials in spintronics and electronics.

 Phaenochilus Weise 1895: 135 (original description); Korschefsky 1932: 237 (catalogue); Chapin 1965a: 234–235, 267–269 (key to genera of Chilocorini; rediagnosis and historical review of Phaenochilus); Miyatake 1970a: 20, 49–51 (key to east Asian Chilocorini; rediagnosis and historical review of Phaenochilus); Poorani 2002: 7 (checklist, Coccinellidae of the Indian subcontinent). Type species: Phaenochilus punctifrons Weise, by subsequent designation of Korschefsky 1932.
 Diagnosis: Members of the genus share a similar body form (Figs 1–7) which is compact and roughly hemispherical with the elytral margin narrowly to broadly explanate. Phaenochilus can be easily distinguished from other Chilocorini genera by the combination of: antennae with 8 antennomeres (Figs 18–19), eyes large and elongate (Fig. 25–27, 33), frons narrow and distally tapered, interocular distance less than to 1.5X width of an eye, labrum ovotriangulate, mandible weakly curved with outer edge nearly linear, terminal maxillary palpomere (Figs 14–17) elongate, slender, with length equal to or greater than twice basal width, subcylindrical to tapered with oblique apex, or somewhat swollen with subtruncate apex, terminal labial palpomere (Fig. 20) elongate, slender, rodlike, elytral epipleuron deeply foveate for reception of femoral apices, tibial spurs lacking, tarsal claws (Fig. 21) with elongate basal tooth half to more than two thirds length of claw, male genitalia (known for 6 of 9 species) (Figs 8–13) with basal lobe weakly to distinctly asymmetrical, parameres unequal, spermatheca of female genitalia (known for 3 of 9 species) stout with an elongate appendix or apodeme on distal end of cornu.

description: We examine the equilibrium conditions of a curve in space when a local energy penalty is associated with its extrinsic geometrical state characterized by its curvature and torsion. To do this we tailor the theory of deformations to the Frenet-Serret frame of the curve. The Euler-Lagrange equations describing equilibrium are obtained; Noether's theorem is exploited to identify the constants of integration of these equations as the Casimirs of the euclidean group in three dimensions. While this system appears not to be integrable in general, it {\it is} in various limits of interest. Let the energy density be given as some function of the curvature and torsion, $f(κ,τ)$. If $f$ is a linear function of either of its arguments but otherwise arbitrary, we claim that the first integral associated with rotational invariance permits the torsion $τ$ to be expressed as the solution of an algebraic equation in terms of the bending curvature, $κ$. The first integral associated with translational invariance can then be cast as a quadrature for $κ$ or for $τ$.

description: More than 80 percent of the population in Ethiopia lives in rural areas and their main source of income is agriculture. Agriculture accounts for 45 percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employs 85 percent of the labour force.Export of agricultural products constitutes 86 percent of the total foreign exchange earnings. The country has taken different measures to diversify and increase the contribution of the export sector to economic growth such as; export trade duty incentive scheme, export credit guarantee scheme and foreign exchange retention scheme to those wholly engaged in supplying their products to foreign markets. Despite the incentives taken by the country, the export sector has depended on a few agricultural products mainly coffee, oil seeds and pulses which are characterized by fluctuations in quantity, price and have low competitiveness on the world market. The objective of the study was to assess the trend and impact of agricultural (coffee, oilseed and pulses) exports on economic growth of Ethiopia over the last forty years by looking at: the existence of long run relationship between agricultural export and economic growth; the speed of adjustment in the long run and the existence of causality between the agricultural export and economic growth. The analysis was done using co-integration model, Error correction model and Granger causality model.The findings of the study showed that Coffee export and oilseeds export have a positive and significant relationship with economic growth. While, pulses export was found to have negative and insignificant effect on economic growth in short run and positive but insignificant in the long run. On the other hand the causality relationship found that there is bi-directional relationship between coffee export, oilseed export and economic growth whereas unidirectional relationship was found between pulses export and economic growth. Based on the findings, it is recommended that policies aimed at increasing the productivity and quality of these cash crops should be implemented. Also additional value should be added to them before exporting. Correspondingly, there is also a need to devote resources on the production of non-export goods in order to increase exports since they have bi-directional relationship. When this is done, it will lead to a higher rate of economic growth in Ethiopia.

description: Mode I stress intensity factors, SIFs (KI), of cracked reinforced concrete, RC, beams strengthened by either steel or carbon fiber reinforced polymers, CFRP, plates were calculated numerically. All beams had the same size with span to depth ratio, L/d, of 5 and were loaded in three point bending. Three different concrete grades with different reinforcement steel ratios, rst, and plate ratios, rpl, were considered. The geometry correction factor, YHA (KI = YHA s (pa)0.5), of cracked strengthened RC beams is predicted as a function of the previous variables considered. The present results indicated that, YHA decreases with the increase of both rst and rpl. The effect of rpl in reducing the value of YHA is more obvious at small rst. The effect of the ratio and the type of plates decreases with increasing steel ratio. The current proposed method is able to accurately evaluate YHA of plated RC beams. Then, SIF of strengthened RC beams can be directly calculated by using the geometry correction factor, YHA .

description: We investigate a non-adiabatic parametric quantum pump consists of a nonmagnetic scattering region connected by two ferromagnetic leads. The presence of ferromagnetic leads allows electrons with different spins to experience different potential landscape. Using this effect we propose a quantum spin pump that drives spin-up electrons to flow in one direction and spin-down electrons to flow in opposite direction. As a result, the spin pump can deliver a spin current with vanishing charge current.

description: Ground-based high spatial-resolution (FWHM < 0.3-0.8") optical and near-infrared imaging (0.4-2.2um) is presented for a complete sample of optically selected Palomar-Green QSOs with far-infrared excesses at least as great as those of "warm" AGN-like ultraluminous infrared galaxies (L_ir/L_big-blue-bump > 0.46). In all cases, the host galaxies of the QSOs were detected and most have discernable two-dimensional structure. The QSO host galaxies and the QSO nuclei are similar in magnitude at H-band. H-band luminosities of the hosts range from 0.5-7.5 L* with a mean of 2.3 L*, and are consistent with those found in ULIGs. Both the QSO nuclei and the host galaxies have near-infrared excesses, which may be the result of dust associated with the nucleus and of recent dusty star formation in the host. These results suggest that some, but not all, optically-selected QSOs may have evolved from an infrared-active state triggered by the merger of two similarly-sized L* galaxies, in a manner similar to that of the ultraluminous infrared galaxies.

description: Software Defined Networking (SDN) achieves programmability of a network through separation of the control and data planes. It enables flexibility in network management and control. Energy efficiency is one of the challenging global problems which has both economic and environmental impact. A massive amount of information is generated in the controller of an SDN based network. Machine learning gives the ability to computers to progressively learn from data without having to write specific instructions. In this work, we propose MER-SDN: a machine learning framework for traffic-aware energy efficient routing in SDN. Feature extraction, training, and testing are the three main stages of the learning machine. Experiments are conducted on Mininet and POX controller using real-world network topology and dynamic traffic traces from SNDlib. Results show that our approach achieves more than 65\% feature size reduction, more than 70% accuracy in parameter prediction of an energy efficient heuristics algorithm, also our prediction refine heuristics converges the predicted value to the optimal parameters values with up to 25X speedup as compared to the brute force method.

title: Learning support: numeracy improvement through number sense and number fact fluency

description: Internationally, the importance of numeracy is affirmed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) Testing Framework (OECD, 2023) while research continually demonstrates a positive relationship between numeracy and life-outcomes such as employability and financial well-being (Jonas, 2018). In both the Australian and Queensland education authorities, numeracy teaching and learning is pervasively resourced in all year levels. The coordination of mathematics and numeracy speaks to a partnership between the two, however there are distinct differences. Learning support in numeracy is well documented and resourced, and aligned through legislation where students are provided "supplementary adjustments" (Education Services Australia, 2021, p. 1). The research in this thesis occurred in a large Queensland secondary state school (n = 1,893) with below average socioeconomic advantage (My School, 2020). This study involved 50 students. The two research questions were: Does participating in a numeracy learning support program focused on developing number sense and number fact fluency lead to improved mathematics achievement for students identified as low-achieving in mathematics and What can be learnt from a numeracy learning support program which aims to improve mathematics achievement in a large Queensland school with low socio-educational advantage? A quasi-experimental design was employed and students were given two 35-minute sessions each week of a numeracy program targeting improvement in number sense and number fact fluency. It was hypothesised that students withdrawn from class to participate in the learning support program, which focused on number sense and number fact fluency, would improve. Additionally, it was hypothesised that students in the learning support program would have a greater magnitude of improvement in their achievement, when compared to the rest of the cohort. The students' achievement over the time of the research is reported. The results showed that students receiving the learning support and also students not receiving learning support improved their mathematics achievement however the group participating in the numeracy learning support program had a smaller magnitude of improvement when compared to the rest of the cohort. Several variables that feature in large schools with low socio-educational advantage may have influenced the students' ability to achieve over the time of the research, and these are discussed and analysed.

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We find that spectroscopically peculiar subluminous SNe Ia come from an old population. Of the sixteen subluminous SNe Ia known, ten are found in E/S0 galaxies, and the remainder are found in early-type spirals. The probability that this is a chance occurrence is only 0.2%. The finding that subluminous SNe Ia are associated with an older stellar population indicates that for a sufficiently large lookback time (already accessible in current high redshift searches) they will not be found. Due to a scarcity in old populations, hydrogen and helium main sequence stars and He red giant stars that undergo Roche lobe overflow are unlikely to be the progenitors of subluminous SNe Ia. Earlier findings that overluminous SNe Ia (dM15(B) < 0.95) come from a young progenitor population are confirmed. The fact that subluminous SNe Ia and overluminous SNe Ia come from different progenitor populations and also have different properties is a prediction of the CO white dwarf merger progenitor scenario.

description: Transferring human motion to a mobile robotic manipulator and ensuring safe physical human-robot interaction are crucial steps towards automating complex manipulation tasks in human-shared environments. In this work, we present a novel human to robot whole-body motion transfer framework. We propose a general solution to the correspondence problem, namely a mapping between the observed human posture and the robot one. For achieving real-time imitation and effective redundancy resolution, we use the whole-body control paradigm, proposing a specific task hierarchy, and present a differential drive control algorithm for the wheeled robot base. To ensure safe physical human-robot interaction, we propose a novel variable admittance controller that stably adapts the dynamics of the end-effector to switch between stiff and compliant behaviors. We validate our approach through several real-world experiments with the TIAGo robot. Results show effective real-time imitation and dynamic behavior adaptation. This constitutes an easy way for a non-expert to transfer a manipulation skill to an assistive robot.

description: This paper explores the implication of the rural non-farm employment and waged agricultural employment for income and risk mitigation of agricultural households in Ethiopia. We use a nationally representative panel dataset, and employ endogenous switching mixed multinomial logit model. After we control the selection bias that can arise from employment selection in rural households stemming both from observed and unobserved characteristics, we do find an evidence that the non-farm sector improves the income of the agricultural households, and serve as risk mitigation tool in rural Ethiopia. Combining the non-farm sector with hiring labor for agricultural activities at times of labor shortage increases the variance and contributes to positive skewness of income. Finally, we suggest that the rural non-farm sector could serve as a key development pathway for improving livelihood in the predominantly smallholder production system in Ethiopia.

description: This is an updated version of the initial basic framework on FAIRness of services as presented in detail in: Koers, Hylke, Herterich, Patricia, Hooft, Rob, Gruenpeter, Morane, & Aalto, Tero. (2020). M2.10 Report on basic framework on FAIRness of services (Version 1.0). Zenodo. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4292598 The initial milestone was based on literature review, interviews and feedback collected at an EOSC-hub week session. A second version (March 2021) incorporated feedback from the report launch webinar (Jan 2021) and workshop (Feb 2021) gathering more detailed feedback on the assessment framework. This current version (iteration 3, May 2021) introduces an update to the overall aspects as Trustworthiness has been split into two aspects for clarification: Transparency and Longevity. Additional changes cover rewording of recommendations as well as deletions of duplicate recommendations. We also clarified FAIR-enablement by highlighting that it covers both augmenting FAIRness of a digital object and facilitating a certain FAIR principle.

description: We resolve stars of the nearest giant elliptical galaxy NGC 5128 using VLT with FORS1 and ISAAC. We construct deep U, V and Ks color-magnitude and color-color diagrams in two different halo fields (in the halo and in the north-eastern diffuse shell). In the outer, shell field, at ~14 kpc from the center of the galaxy, there is a significant recent star formation with stars as young as 10 Myr, approximately aligned with the prominent radio and x-ray jet from the nucleus of the host AGN. Ionized gas filaments are evident in ultraviolet images near the area where neutral HI and CO molecular gas was previously observed. The underlying stellar population of the halo of the giant elliptical is predominantly old with a very broad metallicity distribution. The presence of an extended giant branch reaching M_bol=-5 mag suggests the existence of a significant intermediate-age AGB population in the halo of this galaxy.

title: Hybrid-Model Approach to Optimising Submerged Breakwater for Coastal Protection
Creators: name: Muroi, Subaru K
Publisher: name: Griffith University

Subjects: subject: breakwater
subject: machine learning model
subject: shoreline

description: The purpose of this thesis is to advance the state of designing submerged breakwaters, a type of underwater structure, placed in high-energy, sandy, coastal zones. Though the structure itself can be simple, its hydromorphodynamic interactions with waves and sediments are non-linear, involve many variables, and are yet to be fully understood. The inspiration of the structure comes from natural reefs, which can dissipate wave energy and modify sediment transport to support resilient beaches; however, past cases have proven that artificially inducing such effects remain precarious due to the complexity of currents generated from wave dissipation that creates a feedback loop with the sediment and can sometimes lead to erosion. This research proposes a novel hybrid computational framework that combines a one-line/2-dimensinoal-horizontal process-based shoreline model with a machine learning model (a neural network and a Gaussian process regressor) that are trained on the data generated from the process-based model to predict the shoreline response induced by a submerged breakwater. The multi-model methodology allows for a fast iteration of testing a large number of parameters involved in the submerged breakwater-shoreline relation through the process-based model, which informs the data-driven models to generalise the relation from input parameters to shoreline response. The framework provides a computationally feasible method, by training machine learning models on data that can only be acquired through process-based modelling approaches, such as the case of novel submerged breakwaters where real-world data is limited.

description: This paper presents the regional comparative analysis of major parameters of the world market and trade of milk, dairy products, eggs and wool. The paper particularly analyzes trends and regional differences in the volume, dynamics and structure of production and trade of these products. The regions and countries, largest producers, exporters and importers of above-mentioned products were defined. Based on the previous one, it was found that there are very significant regional differences and that the largest part of production and trade, i.e. exports and imports, is concentrated in the 15 countries, the largest producers and largest exporters and importers of these products. Demonstrated differences and the current state of relations between the observed phenomena are due to many natural, economic and social factors. In considering the relationship trends and degree of influence of these factors on changes of the investigated phenomena, quantitative and qualitative market research methods were used.

description: 2. Phaenochilus indicus Miyatake 1970
 Phaenochilus indicus Miyatake 1970b: 113 (original description; morphological details and male genitalia figured).
 Type material: Holotype, male (EUCJ). Type locality: “ Chinchona, Anamalai Hills, 1,050 m (3,500 ft.), Madras State, South India.”
 Remarks: Three other congeners possess immaculate yellow to reddish orange or ferrugineus elytra, but this is the only species of that appearance known to occur in India. It also differs from the similarly colored species in possessing a more compact antennal club with the last antennomere not much longer than wide (Fig. 19). The male genitalia (Fig. 10) and morphological details illustrated by Miyatake (1970b) suggest a close relationship to the melanic P. flaviceps (Fig. 9), also described from Madras State.

description: Light curves of 3C 279 are presented in optical (R-band), X-rays (RXTE/PCA), and gamma rays (CGRO/EGRET) for 1999 Jan-Feb and 2000 Jan-Mar. During both of those epochs the gamma-ray levels were high, and all three observed bands demonstrated substantial variation, on time scales as short as one day. Correlation analyses provided no consistent pattern, although a rather significant optical/gamma-ray correlation was seen in 1999, with a gamma-ray lag of ~2.5 days, and there are other suggestions of correlations in the light curves. For comparison, correlation analysis is also presented for the gamma-ray and X-ray light curves during the large gamma ray flare in 1996 Feb and the two gamma-bright weeks leading up to it; the correlation at that time was strong, with a gamma-ray/X-ray offset of no more than 1 day.

Phaenochilus metasternalis

description: 4. Phaenochilus metasternalis Miyatake 1970
 Phaenochilus metasternalis Miyatake 1970a: 50–52 (original description; male and female genitalia figured); Hoang 1981: 12, 15, 16 (first report from Vietnam); Ren Shunxiang et al. 2009: 138–139 (photos of dorsal habitus, male genitalia, abdominal postcoxal line).
 Phaenochilus punctifrons: Chapin 1965b: 267 & Fig. 18A–G (female genitalia and morphological details figured) (misidentification).
 Type material: Holotype, male (CASC); paratypes (2 total), 1 male, 1 female (CASC). Type locality: “ Ta Hau, Hainan Is., S. China.”
 Remarks: This species can be distinguished from similarly colored congenerics by the broadly explanate elytral margins (Figs 3, 26), the central part of the metasternum densely covered with long hairlike setae (may be lost through abrasion), and the male genitalia which has the basal lobe distinctly undulate on one side and constricted near base (Fig. 12a).
 A small black leather notebook associated with Chapin’s slide collection (USNM) documents that he performed a whole body dissection of a female of “ P. punctifrons ” from Java (Java, Feb. 1911, R.L.Woglum). Although we could not find the resulting slide mounted material which he designated “X-15,” the remaining specimens from Java, Buitenzorg (=Bogor), and Singapore in the series that Chapin studied all belong to P. metasternalis. Ren Shunxiang et al. (2009) report the presence of P. metasternalis in the Chinese provinces of Yunnan, Anhui, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan. Hoang (1981) reports this species from Trung Quoc, Viet Nam. (See also “Remarks” section for P. ruficollis, below.)
