description: We describe a number of recently developed techniques for improving the performance of large-scale nuclear configuration interaction calculations on high performance parallel computers. We show the benefit of using a preconditioned block iterative method to replace the Lanczos algorithm that has traditionally been used to perform this type of computation. The rapid convergence of the block iterative method is achieved by a proper choice of starting guesses of the eigenvectors and the construction of an effective preconditioner. These acceleration techniques take advantage of special structure of the nuclear configuration interaction problem which we discuss in detail. The use of a block method also allows us to improve the concurrency of the computation, and take advantage of the memory hierarchy of modern microprocessors to increase the arithmetic intensity of the computation relative to data movement. We also discuss implementation details that are critical to achieving high performance on massively parallel multi-core supercomputers, and demonstrate that the new block iterative solver is two to three times faster than the Lanczos based algorithm for problems of moderate sizes on a Cray XC30 system.

description: This thesis aims to bring back the prism of port-cities and port diplomacy to understanding the contemporary relationship between the EU and China. By drawing various concepts from international politics, port studies and political geography, the thesis highlights the crucial role played by port-cities as a vector of economic and political power, via their role as an interface between the “port host”, in the thesis China, and port visitors, in the thesis the European Union. The suggested framework will then be applied to analyse the contemporary EU-China relations through three selected case studies: Hong Kong, where the first European colony was established in 1842; Macao, where the first European settlement was established in 1557; and Shanghai, where the first batch of treaty ports opened by the Europeans without turning Shanghai as a colony of one nation. At the end of the thesis, the thesis will discuss a new academic concept, namely the civilian sea power, and how the academic concept is applicable to contemporary diplomatic studies and international politics.

description: The present study investigated the cohesion of teams and group conflict, based on the theory of compliance goals, in young Brazilian athletes participating in the final phase of the School Games in the state of Pernambuco. The participants were 413 young athletes, boys (n = 227) and girls (n = 186) aged between 14 and 17 years. Participants completed self-report questionnaires to assess the Youth Sport Environment Questionnaire (P-YSEQ), Group Conflict Questionnaire (P-GCQ) and Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire (TEOSQ). The data were analyzed using hierarchical and non-hierarchical cluster analysis, chi-square test, multiple regression and multivariate variance analysis (MANOVA). The results showed that task orientation made the largest positive contribution to both task (β = .50, p < .001) and social (β = .31, p < .05) cohesion. Ego orientation made the largest positive contribution to task conflict (β = .49, p < .001) and social conflict (β = .67, p < .001), whilst task orientation made negative contribution (β = -.34, p < .05) for social conflict. Compared to the high task and low ego cluster (Cluster 3) was compared with low ego and task (Cluster 2) and high task and low ego cluster (Cluster 1), there was a significant difference between groups in task cohesion (p=.001), task conflict (p=.003) and social conflict (p=.001). It is concluded that task orientation seems to be a positive predictor of team cohesion, while ego orientation might predict positively group conflict and negatively task cohesion.

description: Heavy scalar and pseudoscalar resonance searches through the $gg\rightarrow S\rightarrow t\bar t$ process are challenging due to the peculiar behavior of the large interference effects with the standard model $t\bar t$ background. Such effects generate non-trivial lineshapes from additional relative phases between the signal and background amplitudes. We provide the analytic expressions for the differential cross sections to understand the interference effects in the heavy scalar signal lineshapes. We extend our study to the case of CP-violation and further consider the effect of bottom quarks in the production and decay processes. We also evaluate the contributions from additional particles to the gluon fusion production process, such as stops and vector-like quarks, that could lead to significant changes in the behavior of the signal lineshapes. Taking into account the large interference effects, we perform lineshape searches at the LHC and discuss the importance of the systematic uncertainties and smearing effects. We present projected sensitivities for two LHC performance scenarios to probe the $gg\rightarrow S \rightarrow t\bar t$ channel in various models.

description: Developing a suggestion by Russell, Prawitz showed how the usual natural deduction inference rules for disjunction, conjunction and absurdity can be derived using those for implication and the second order quantifier in propositional intuitionistic second order logic $NI^2$. It is however well known that the translation does not preserve the relations of identity among derivations induced by the permutative conversions and immediate expansions for the definable connectives, at least when the equational theory of $NI^2$ is assumed to consist only of $β$ and $η$ equations. On the basis of the categorial interpretation of $NI^2$, we introduce a new class of equations expressing what in categorial terms is a naturality condition satisfied by the transformations interpreting $NI^2$-derivations. We show that the Russell-Prawitz translation does preserve identity of proof with respect to the enriched system by highlighting the fact that naturality corresponds to a generalized permutation principle. We show that these result generalize some facts which have gone so far unnoticed, namely that the Russell-Prawitz translation maps particular classes of instances of the equations governing disjunction (and the other definable connectives) onto equations which are already included in the $βη$ equational theory of $NI^2$. Finally, we compare our approach with the one proposed by Ferreira and Ferreira and show that the naturality condition suggests a generalization of their methods to a wider class of formulas.

Its eigen-system is characterized through the exponential of a $G$-skew symmetric matrix, underlining its unconnectedness at one of its extremes (the hyper-singular case). A different yet equivalent angle is presented through Pauli coding which reveals the connection between the hyper-singular case and the shear map.

description: In this paper, we discuss an improvement of an algorithm to search for primes $p$ and coset-partitions of Z/pZ* that yield Ramsey algebras over Z/pZ. We also prove an upper bound on the modulus p in terms of the number of cosets. We have, as a corollary, that there is no prime $p$ for which there exists a partition of Z/pZ* into 13 cosets that yields a 13-color Ramsey algebra. Thus A263308(13) = 0.

description: The charmonium spectrum is calculated with two nonrelativistic quark models, the linear potential model and the screened potential model. Using the obtained wavefunctions, we evaluate the electromagnetic transitions of charmonium states up to $4S$ multiplet. The higher multipole contributions are included by a multipole expansion of the electromagnetic interactions. Our results are in reasonable agreement with the measurements. As conventional charmonium states, the radiative decay properties of the newly observed charmonium-like states, such as $X(3823)$, $X(3872)$, $X(4140/4274)$, are discussed. The $X(3823)$ as $ψ_2(1D)$, its radiative decay properties well agree with the observations. From the radiative decay properties of $X(3872)$, one can not exclude it as a $χ_{c1}(2P)$ dominant state. We also give discussions of possibly observing the missing charmonium states in radiative transitions, which might provide some useful references to look for them in forthcoming experiments. The higher multipole contributions to the electromagnetic transitions are analyzed as well. It is found that the higher contribution from the magnetic part could give notable corrections to some E1 dominant processes by interfering with the E1 amplitudes. Our predictions for the normalized magnetic quadrupole amplitudes $M_2$ of the $χ_{c1,2}(1P)\to J/ψγ$ processes are in good agreement with the recent CLEO measurements.

description: We derive the latest constraints on various simplified models of natural SUSY with light higgsinos, stops and gluinos, using a detailed and comprehensive reinterpretation of the most recent 13 TeV ATLAS and CMS searches with $\sim 15$ fb$^{-1}$ of data. We discuss the implications of these constraints for fine-tuning of the electroweak scale. While the most "vanilla" version of SUSY (the MSSM with $R$-parity and flavor-degenerate sfermions) with 10% fine-tuning is ruled out by the current constraints, models with decoupled valence squarks or reduced missing energy can still be fully natural. However, in all of these models, the mediation scale must be extremely low ($<100$ TeV). We conclude by considering the prospects for the high-luminosity LHC era, where we expect the current limits on particle masses to improve by up to $\sim 1$ TeV, and discuss further model-building directions for natural SUSY that are motivated by this work.

description: Applications such as optical switch matrices and optical phased arrays require many integrated components, e.g. semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). We present a novel solution for increasing the density of SOAs using the open-mask regrowth technique which can eliminate the loading effect and growth rate enhancement which are typically seen for large-area or high-density active blocks. We designed SOA arrays using the proposed technique on a generic indium phosphide platform. In parallel, a systematic approach towards enabling transfer printing of SOA arrays on a single coupon is introduced. Thermal simulations of SOA arrays on a substrate and coupon show that arrays with several SOAs on a single coupon are possible with minor thermal penalty. Finally, the experimental plan on a generic indium phosphide platform is presented.

Photometric asymmetry between clockwise and counterclockwise spiral galaxies in SDSS

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: While galaxies with clockwise and counterclockwise handedness are visually different, they are expected to be symmetric in all of their other characteristics. Previous experiments using both manual analysis and machine vision have shown that the handedness of Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) galaxies can be predicted with accuracy significantly higher than mere chance using its photometric data alone, showing that SDSS photometry pipeline is sensitive to the handedness of the galaxy. However, some of these previous experiments were based on manually classified galaxies, and the results may therefore be subjected to bias originated from the human perception. This paper describes an experiment based on a set of 162,514 celestial objects classified as clockwise and counterclockwise spiral galaxies in a fully automatic process, showing that the source of the asymmetry is more than the human perception bias. The results are compared to two smaller datasets, and confirm the observation that the handedness of SDSS galaxies can be predicted by their photometric information, and show that the position angle of counterclockwise galaxies computed by SDSS photometry pipeline is consistently higher than the position angle computed for galaxies with clockwise patterns. The experiment also shows statistically significant differences in the measured magnitude, according which galaxies with clockwise patterns are brighter than galaxies with counterclockwise patterns. The magnitude of that difference changes across RA ranges, and exhibits a strong correlation with the cosine of the right ascension.

description: Although coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is considered a systemic disease associated with vascular inflammation and eventual destruction of the protective endothelial glycocalyx (eGC), biomarkers of eGC damage are not yet available in the clinic. The most prominent components of eGC are sulphated glycosaminoglycans (sGAGs) attached to core proteoglycans. We hypothesised that the amount of sGAG fragments shed in urine (as a surrogate for systemic eGC damage) would correlate with disease severity and outcome. Total urinary sGAG concentration was measured using an in-house optimised 1,9-dimethylmethylene blue (DMMB) assay, which is highly accurate and insensitive to interferences. The median urinary sGAG concentration was significantly higher in 67 hospitalised patients with COVID-19 compared to 72 hospitalised patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). In both groups, urinary sGAG concentrations predicted a combined endpoint (including intubation and death) with an area under the receiver operator characteristic curve of 0.72 (95% CI 0.55–0.88, p = 0.01) and 0.70 (95% CI 0.57–0.83, p = 0.007), respectively. In conclusion, the inexpensive and easy-to-perform DMMB assay provides a surrogate parameter for eGC damage that may be useful for risk stratification of patients with COVID-19 and CAP.

description: Machine learning offers an unprecedented perspective for the problem of classifying phases in condensed matter physics. We employ neural-network machine learning techniques to distinguish finite-temperature phases of the strongly correlated fermions on cubic lattices. We show that a three dimensional convolutional network trained on auxiliary field configurations produced by quantum Monte Carlo simulations of the Hubbard model can correctly predict the magnetic phase diagram of the model at the average density of one (half filling). We then use the network, trained at half filling, to explore the trend in the transition temperature as the system is doped away from half filling. This transfer learning approach predicts that the instability to the magnetic phase extends to at least 5% doping in this region. Our results pave the way for other machine learning applications in correlated quantum many-body systems.

The Pan Pharmaceutical recall and its effect on the CAM profession in Australia

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the School of Public Health and Human Biosciences, Faculty of Health Sciences, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

In 2003, a travel sickness medication manufactured by Pan Pharmaceuticals, Travacalm Original, triggered a recall of 1600 Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) products. This research assessed the impact of the “Pan recall” on the CAM profession in Australia. Data from a questionnaire survey of 452 CAM practitioners (19 percent response rate, covering Naturopaths, Homoeopaths, Acupuncturists, Chinese Herbalists, Massage therapists, Western Herbalists and other modalities), in-depth interviews of 9 key industry leaders (including manufacturers of CAM products, members of the Expert Committee on CAM, government officials, and medical practitioners who use CAM products in their practice) and an exhaustive collection of public media and governmental documents were gathered to examine the “structure, process and outcome” impact of the recall on CAM practices. The survey respondents had varied views on the recall, with 57 percent believing there was not an effect and 43 percent believing there was an effect on the CAM profession. Although 41 percent Pan product users expressed concerns about bad/negative effect of the recall on their patients, 10 percent viewed the recall as positive or good for patients. The appropriateness of the response of Therapeutic Goods Agency (TGA) to this event was doubted by the study participants with many querying why a Class 1 recall on an Over the Counter product triggered the recall of so many CAM products. This led to mistrust of the TGA by some of the practitioners. Some 58 percent of survey respondents believed the recall was unjustified. Different impacts were experienced by the various interest groups and fighting among these groups is obvious, which has been undermined by the historical struggle of CAM practitioners for recognition into the mainstream health care system. More than 85 percent of survey respondents endorsed changes in strengthening GMP standards of CAM products. However, the CAM professions have remained highly diversified, with only a few modalities being subjected to governmental registration. Media played a major role in the coverage of the recall and often from a negative standpoint as far as the CAM profession was concerned. Despite this, consumers continued to use the different CAM modalities available in Australia. The CAM industry has shown its flexibility and continues to grow. Lessons need to be learnt from the Pan recall event. Government actions should protect the interest of consumers. Inter- and intra-professional relationships need to be addressed given the diverse demands of consumers. Increased research in relation to the different CAM modalities and regulation is needed to ensure public safety and confidence.
DETERMINATION OF TRACE METALS BY lON-CHROMATOGRAPHY WITH CHEMILUMINESCENCE DETECTION
Creators: name: WILLIAMS, TIMOTHY PAUL
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1990

description: It is generally considered that the detection step for the determination of trace metals by liquid-chromatographic systems is the weakest area of the analytical procedure. Various post-column reagent systems, for trace metal analysis, based on the highly sensitive luminol-peroxide chemiluminescence (CL) reaction have been developed and are described. A simple cation-exchange chromatographic system was developed and used to separate cobalt from other metal ions. These cobalt ions were detected using an optimised luminol-peroxide CL post-column reagent. A detection limit of 0.5 ng 1̵¹ was achieved without the need for preconcentration, for a 200 µl sample. The cobalt content of a rice flour certified reference material was determined using this system and gave good agreement with the certificate value.

description: This thesis analyses Chinese culture in cyberspace through the key theoretical lens of the attention economy, but also considers how attention is influenced by taste by referring to taste cultures. The idea of a taste culture is derived from Herbert Gans' work but has been significantly modified to explain the proliferation of varieties of cultural consumption in cyberspace. The idea of attention economy is taken from Michael Goldhaber, who uses it to describe how economic relationships change when attention becomes an object of scarcity in a networked world. Although the Web's ability to encourage community formation around different tastes has enabled the creation and sharing of diverse yet specific cultural material, the sheer volume of information available online also means that for people seeking publicity, the chance of being discovered in this environment is quite low. It is for this reason that the Web has been described as an attention economy. Web users choose to consume, or pay attention to, products that are most relevant to them. When these products are leisure or consumer products, their relevancy to each consumer is determined by each consumer's taste. A series of case studies drawn from Chinese cyberspace (2005-2010) are introduced and analysed to show how taste determines the appearance and culture of Chinese cyberspace. Because the case studies were of quite different forms, a mixture of interviews and surveys were used to collect data for textual and socio-cultural analysis. While the method of investigation differed from case study to case study, all research was designed to show how different aspects of Chinese Web culture are perceived and portrayed by consumers, content producers and in traditional media. This enabled a clear determination of how attention flows online and the role that taste groupings can have directing these flows. Chinese netizens (wang min) are using the Web to produce material that fills the gaps of traditional media, be it in news media and public opinion, popular fiction, or television. These attempts to fill the gaps in the traditional media's offerings compete with one another and the traditional media for the attention of other Chinese Web users. Web users who share similar tastes and consume online media relevant to them form online taste publics. These can evolve into organised groups as consumption of a shared interest is accompanied by communication between participants of taste publics. Thus unorganised aggregates can become organised groups. Chinese Web users seeking to raise their public profile in the attention economy that is the Web take advantage of these groups to more efficiently raise their profile and share their work with a more receptive audience.

description: We show that there are infinitely many commensurability classes of pseudomodular groups, thus answering a question raised by Long and Reid. These are Fuchsian groups whose cusp set is all of the rationals but which are not commensurable to the modular group. We do this by introducing a general construction for the fundamental domains of Fuchsian groups obtained by gluing together marked ideal triangular tiles, which we call hyperbolic jigsaw groups.

Out-of-equilibrium fluctuation-dissipation relations verified by the electrical and thermoelectrical ac-conductances in a quantum dot

description: The electrical and heat currents flowing through a quantum dot are calculated in the presence of a time-modulated gate voltage with the help of the out-of-equilibrium Green function technique. From the first harmonics of the currents, we extract the electrical and thermoelectrical trans-admittances and ac-conductances. Next, by a careful comparison of the ac-conductances with the finite-frequency electrical and mixed electrical-heat noises, we establish the fluctuation-dissipation relations linking these quantities, which are thus generalized out-of-equilibrium for a quantum system. It is shown that the electrical ac-conductance associated to the displacement current is directly linked to the electrical noise summed over reservoirs, whereas the relation between the thermoelectrical ac-conductance and the mixed noise contains an additional term proportional to the energy step that the electrons must overcome when traveling through the junction. A numerical study reveals however that a fluctuation-dissipation relation involving a single reservoir applies for both electrical and thermoelectrical ac-conductances when the frequency dominates over the other characteristic energies.

Nineteenth Century Tourism: Destination Melbourne
Creators: name: ELIZABETH GRANT FELTSCHEER
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: History

description: This thesis examines Melbourne as a nineteenth century tourist city and reveals the symbiotic relationship which formed between the developing city and its tourist industry. My approach was to focus on three areas of nineteenth century life in Melbourne which were linked with tourism – enjoying the natural world, interest in new technology and museums, and pleasure and entertainment. The relationship benefitted Melbourne, as it generated great wealth and helped to focus worldwide attention on the city and, as a result, helped to define it as a nineteenth century city with its own distinct differences from other nineteenth century cities.
Astromaterial Science and Nuclear Pasta

description: We define `astromaterial science' as the study of materials in astronomical objects that are qualitatively denser than materials on earth. Astromaterials can have unique properties related to their large density, though they may be organized in ways similar to more conventional materials. By analogy to terrestrial materials, we divide our study of astromaterials into hard and soft and discuss one example of each. The hard astromaterial discussed here is a crystalline lattice, such as the Coulomb crystals in the interior of cold white dwarfs and in the crust of neutron stars, while the soft astromaterial is nuclear pasta found in the inner crusts of neutron stars. In particular, we discuss how molecular dynamics simulations have been used to calculate the properties of astromaterials to interpret observations of white dwarfs and neutron stars. Coulomb crystals are studied to understand how compact stars freeze. Their incredible strength may make crust "mountains" on rotating neutron stars a source for gravitational waves that the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) may detect. Nuclear pasta is expected near the base of the neutron star crust at densities of $10^{14}$ g/cm$^3$. Competition between nuclear attraction and Coulomb repulsion rearranges neutrons and protons into complex non-spherical shapes such as sheets (lasagna) or tubes (spaghetti). Semi-classical molecular dynamics simulations of nuclear pasta have been used to study these phases and calculate their transport properties such as neutrino opacity, thermal conductivity, and electrical conductivity. Observations of neutron stars may be sensitive to these properties, and can be be used to interpret observations of supernova neutrinos, magnetic field decay, and crust cooling of accreting neutron stars. We end by comparing nuclear pasta shapes with some similar shapes seen in biological systems.

Illuminating arts practice: making large-scale projects beyond the mainstream

description: Due to file sizes downloading the video files could be slower than expected.

Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by creative work to the School of Humanities, Department of Arts and Critical Enquiry, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

This doctoral research is an investigation undertaken through artistic practice, that focuses on the artistic direction of the project, Illuminated by Fire. This artistic practice utilises several art forms to create a large-scale artwork, and the doctorate demonstrates the artistic methodology whereby the artistic director initiated, developed and interrogated working processes. The artistic director implemented and delivered a multi-sited, multimedia arts project on the theme of fire with 15 artists and over 50 other collaborators. The broader premise of this practice-led enquiry is identification of a working process for making arts projects with communities and artists from across the state of Victoria. The role of the freelance artist, working outside mainstream institutional theatres and galleries on large-scale projects, is difficult to categorise; but this area of artistic endeavour has nonetheless recently become an area of employment for artists. It tends to subvert traditional hierarchies of access, as it generates new ways of working in arts practice. In this thesis these ideas are considered in relation to an analysis of community arts, although the artistic director places her methodology within a framework of culturally democratic arts practices which have been influenced by socially progressive movements. This doctorate argues that successful culturally democratic art projects require the development of strong conceptual frameworks, which achieve clarity as to the role of each artist and practitioner; through strategies that came out of the art in working life movement and involve a variety of project management skills combined with artistic vision and creative practices. The exegesis provides documentation of the arts processes realised in the large-scale public production that was the substance of the doctorate, and outlines a model for ways of working to create multiple artworks outside mainstream arts institutions.

Foucault's genealogy of Christianity
Creators: name: Chrulew, Matthew Nikolai
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017

description: This thesis is an exploration of Michel Foucault's genealogy of Christianity. I argue that this important and under-appreciated aspect of his work is strongly influenced by Nietzsche's own anti-Christian writings on asceticism, priestly power and the death of God. Based on the texts currently available, I explicate in detail Foucault's perpetual and often ambivalent return to the confessional and pastoral apparatuses of the Church. I also explore how this work might relate to broader and increasingly prominent debates in Continental philosophy of religion. From Foucault's fragmented but unremitting attention to Christianity, one can reconstruct a relatively consistent genealogy of secularisation as 'Christianisation-in-depth' that is of central relevance to contemporary discussions of religion, power and the 'politics of ourselves.' My overall aim is to highlight the centrality to Foucault's work of his very Nietzschean genealogy of Christianity, to provide an initial assessment of its character, and to suggest some directions for further work exploring this element of Foucault's thought. For all its flaws and incompleteness, Foucault provides us with an essential analysis of Christianity's unique and shifting regime of subject-formation and its persistence and modification in secular modes of government and their social-scientific adjuncts.
