description: Recent high-resolution observations reveal that subarcsecond bright dots (BDs) with sub-minute lifetimes appears ubiquitously in the transition region (TR) above sunspot penumbra. The presence of penumbral micro-jets (PMJs) in the chromosphere have also been reported earlier. It was proposed that both the PMJs and BDs are formed due to magnetic reconnection process and may play an important role in heating of the penumbra. Using simultaneous observation of the chromosphere from the Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) aboard Hinode and the TR from the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS), we study the dynamics of BDs and their relation with PMJs. We find two types of BDs, one which is related to PMJs and the others which do not show any visible dynamics in the SOT Ca II H images. From a statistical analysis we show that these two types have different properties. The BDs which are related to PMJs always appear at the top of the PMJs, the vast majority of which show inward motion and originate before the generation of the PMJs. These results may indicate that the reconnection occurs at the lower coronal/TR height and initiates PMJs at the chromosphere. This formation mechanism is in contrast with the currently believed formation of PMJs by reconnection in the (upper) photosphere between differently inclined fields.

description: Depth super-resolution (DSR) aims to restore high-resolution (HR) depth from low-resolution (LR) one, where RGB image is often used to promote this task. Recent image guided DSR approaches mainly focus on spatial domain to rebuild depth structure. However, since the structure of LR depth is usually blurry, only considering spatial domain is not very sufficient to acquire satisfactory results. In this paper, we propose structure guided network (SGNet), a method that pays more attention to gradient and frequency domains, both of which have the inherent ability to capture high-frequency structure. Specifically, we first introduce the gradient calibration module (GCM), which employs the accurate gradient prior of RGB to sharpen the LR depth structure. Then we present the Frequency Awareness Module (FAM) that recursively conducts multiple spectrum differencing blocks (SDB), each of which propagates the precise high-frequency components of RGB into the LR depth. Extensive experimental results on both real and synthetic datasets demonstrate the superiority of our SGNet, reaching the state-of-the-art.

Investigation of a novel host-directed therapy for malaria through ENU mutagenesis
Creators: name: Lelliott, Patrick
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

description: Treatments for malaria rapidly lose effectiveness due to parasite adaption. Using naturally occurring resistance to malaria as an example, it may be possible to circumvent this adaption by developing antimalarial therapies which render the host impervious to infection, rather than directly disabling the parasite. Known as host directed therapy, the success of this strategy depends on a detailed understanding of host factors which are critical to parasite survival. An N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) mutagenesis screen facilitated identification of two novel genes which influence malaria susceptibility in mice, Tfrc and Sptb. Mutations in these genes increased and decreased susceptibility to Plasmodium chabaudi infection respectively. In order to determine the mechanisms underpinning this susceptibility, a novel assay was developed based on flow cytometry of fluorescently labelled erythrocytes, and a dual staining approach towards the identification of parasitized erythrocytes. Using this assay it was determined that for Tfrc, which encodes the iron transport protein transferrin receptor 1, intraerythrocytic parasite survival was enhanced. For Sptb, which encodes erythrocytic beta spectrin, parasitized erythrocytes were found to be more susceptible to phagocytosis. Overall, the study of these mutations and the mechanisms by which they influence malaria susceptibility has resulted in an increased understanding of host factors involved in this deadly disease. In future, it may be possible to manipulate these mechanisms to develop a host directed therapy, which would be less prone to parasite drug resistance.
Impacts of microplastics on coastal biota and the potential for trophic transfer

description: Microplastics are ubiquitous in the marine environment worldwide, and pose a physical and chemical risk to marine organisms. Their small size makes them bioavailable to a range of organisms with evidence of ingestion across the food chain. Despite an increasing body of research into microplastics, few studies have explored how consumption changes complex behaviours such as predator awareness and sociality. Furthermore, our understanding surrounding the trophic transfer of associated microplastic contaminants and the resultant effects on the food web remain largely unknown. My research assessed the impacts of microplastics on the ecology of marine biota and the potential for trophic transfer using coastal ecosystems as a model. Beachhoppers (Platorchestia, smithi) readily ingested microplastics with subsequent alterations in behaviour. Contaminated beachhoppers were fed to Krefft’s frillgobies (Bathygobius, krefftii), and changes in personality were assessed. There was no effect on fish personality due to an increased plastic diet suggesting trophic transfer of microplastic is not an additional exposure pathway for contaminants. This study suggests consumption of microplastics may compromise some behaviours necessary for survival. While in the short term there is no behavioural evidence of trophic transfer, further studies should seek to understand the longer term effects of microplastics and their effect on the food web.

description: In this paper, we combine Lovelock gravity with gravity's rainbow to construct Lovelock gravity's rainbow. Considering the Lovelock gravity's rainbow coupled to linear and also nonlinear electromagnetic gauge fields, we present two new classes of topological black hole solutions. We compute conserved and thermodynamic quantities of these black holes (such as temperature, entropy, electric potential, charge and mass) and show that these quantities satisfy the first law of thermodynamics. In order to study the thermal stability in canonical ensemble, we calculate the heat capacity and determinant of the Hessian matrix and show in what regions there are thermally stable phases for black holes. Also, we discuss the dependence of thermodynamic behavior and thermal stability of black holes on rainbow functions. Finally, we investigate the critical behavior of black holes in the extended phase space and study their interesting properties.

description: The question of if silica nanoparticles can enhance the ionic conductivity of a polymer electrolyte above its crystallization temperature has remained unclear for the two decades following the first experiments on these systems. We use Molecular Dynamics simulations to decipher the atomic scale mechanisms affecting the properties of LiTFSI-poly(ethylene oxide) electrolytes upon the addition of silica nanoparticles. At any ionic concentration, adding nanoparticles significantly decreases the conductivity. Most of this reduction can be simply accounted for by the diffusion equation, resulting from the fact that the space occupied by the nanoparticles is made inactive and unable to sustain ionic diffusion. We identify two distinct regimes, above and below a concentration threshold, corresponding to very different ionic distributions and coordination features of the various species. The lack of conductivity enhancement observed in the simulations supports the conclusions of some recent measurements, and disagrees with the earliest experimental reports on hybrid silica/polyethylene-oxide electrolytes.
The prefrontal cortex and episodic memory in dementia syndromes

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

description: Episodic memory impairment is commonly reported in neurodegenerative syndromes such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and behavioural-variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD). These deficits have been attributed predominantly to medial temporal lobe atrophy and poor encoding/retrieval in AD, as opposed to prefrontal cortex (PFC) atrophy and impaired strategic retrieval processes in bvFTD. Evidence suggests, however, that the PFC contributes to episodic memory impairment across both patient groups, although it is unclear whethe rboth lateral and medial subregions of the PFC are involved. This thesis aims to clarify the PFC contributions to episodic memory in AD and bvFTD by comparing performance on both established and novel measures of episodic memory and patterns of PFC atrophy using voxel based morphometry. In a study comparing dysexecutive AD and bvFTD, the two patient groups showed significant overlap on measures of PFC atrophy, performance on standardised neuropsychological episodic memory tests, and correlations between PFC atrophy and memory performance. A second study contrasted the lateral and medial PFC contributions to episodic memory in AD and bvFTD, revealing that performance on standardised neuropsychological episodic memory tests correlated with lateral PFC atrophy across both groups, but correlated with medial PFC atrophy in bvFTD only. The next three studies employed novel experimental tasks to determine the role of the medial PFC in enhancing memory for 1) self-relevant, 2) socially relevant and 3) reward-related information. Collectively, these three studies revealed that value-related memory processes, which are mediated by the medial PFC, are disproportionately disrupted in bvFTD. The main findings of the thesis are that the impact of lateral PFC dysfunction on episodic memory is not specific to bvFTD, and that greater emphasis is needed to try to understand the value-related processes through which the medial PFC augments episodic memory encoding and retrieval. These findings stand to improve differential diagnosis of AD and bvFTD, and improve understanding of the role of the PFC in episodic memory.

description: This paper considers the jointly optimal pilot and data power allocation in single-cell uplink massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems. Using the spectral efficiency (SE) as performance metric and setting a total energy budget per coherence interval, the power control is formulated as optimization problems for two different objective functions: the weighted minimum SE among the users and the weighted sum SE. A closed form solution for the optimal length of the pilot sequence is derived. The optimal power control policy for the former problem is found by solving a simple equation with a single variable. Utilizing the special structure arising from imperfect channel estimation, a convex reformulation is found to solve the latter problem to global optimality in polynomial time. The gain of the optimal joint power control is theoretically justified, and is proved to be large in the low SNR regime. Simulation results also show the advantage of optimizing the power control over both pilot and data power, as compared to the cases of using full power and of only optimizing the data powers as done in previous work.

description: The low-energy constants, namely the spin stiffness $ρ_s$, the staggered magnetization density ${\cal M}_s$ per area, and the spinwave velocity $c$ of the two-dimensional (2D) spin-1 Heisenberg model on the square and rectangular lattices are determined using the first principles Monte Carlo method. In particular, the studied models have antiferromagnetic couplings $J_1$ and $J_2$ in the spatial 1- and 2-directions, respectively. For each considered $J_2/J_1$, the aspect ratio of the corresponding linear box sizes $L_2/L_1$ used in the simulations is adjusted so that the squares of the two spatial winding numbers take the same values. In addition, the relevant finite-volume and -temperature predictions from magnon chiral perturbation theory are employed in extracting the numerical values of these low-energy constants. Our results of $ρ_{s1}$ are in quantitative agreement with those obtained by the series expansion method over a broad range of $J_2/J_1$. This in turn provides convincing numerical evidence for the quantitative correctness of our approach. The ${\cal M}_s$ and $c$ presented here for the spatially anisotropic models are new and can be used as benchmarks for future related studies.

The Wiedemann-Franz law for the ratio of heat and charge conductances is found to be systematically violated away from the charge degeneracy points. The observed deviation agrees well with the theoretical expectation. With large temperature drop between the source and drain, the heat current away from degeneracy deviates from the standard quadratic dependence in the two temperatures.

description: Dimerized quantum magnets are exotic crystalline materials where Bose-Einstein condensation of magnetic excitations can happen. However, known dimerized quantum magnets are limited to only a few oxides and halides. Here, we unveil 9 dimerized quantum magnets and 11 conventional antiferromagnets in ternary metal borides MTB$_4$ (M = Sc, Y, La, Ce, Lu, Mg, Ca, Al; T = V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni). In this type of structure, 3d transition-metal atoms T are arranged in dimers. Quantum magnetism in these compounds is dominated by strong antiferromagnetic interactions between Cr (both Cr and Mn for M = Mg and Ca) atoms within the structural dimers, with much weaker interactions between the dimers. These systems are proposed to be close to a quantum critical point between a disordered singlet spin-dimer phase, with a spin gap, and the ordered conventional Néel antiferromagnetic phase. This new family of dimerized quantum magnets greatly enriches the materials inventory that allows investigations of the spin-gap phase. All the quantum-, conventionally-, and non-magnetic systems identified, together with experimental synthesis methods of a phase suitable for characterization, provide a platform with abundant possibilities to tune the magnetic exchange coupling by doping and study this unconventional type of quantum phase transition. This work opens up new avenues for studying the quantum magnetism of spin dimers in borides and establishes a theoretical workflow for future searches for dimerized quantum magnets in other families or types of materials.

description: Target detection is pivotal for modern urban computing applications. While image-based techniques are widely adopted, they falter under challenging environmental conditions such as adverse weather, poor lighting, and occlusion. To improve the target detection performance under complex real-world scenarios, this paper proposes an intelligent integrated optical camera and millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar system. Utilizing both physical knowledge and data-driven methods, a long-term robust radar-camera fusion algorithm is proposed to solve the heterogeneous data fusion problem for detection improvement. For the occlusion scenarios, the proposed algorithm can effectively detect occluded targets with the help of memory through performing long-term detection. For dark scenarios with low-light conditions, the proposed algorithm can effectively mark the target in the dark picture as well as provide rough stickman imaging. The above two innovative functions of the hybrid optical camera and mmWave radar system are tested in real-world scenarios. The results demonstrate the robustness and significant enhancement in the target detection performance of our integrated system.

A comprehensive evaluation of somatosensory function in acute low back pain and pain-free individuals using quantitative sensory testing
Creators: name: Marcuzzi, Anna
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Low back pain is a common complaint and has the highest global disability burden when measured as years lived with a disability. After an episode of low back pain, up to two-thirds of people will experience variable levels of chronic pain after one year and around 10% will be significantly disabled in association with low back pain. Recent research has revealed that people with chronic low back pain are characterised by widespread pain hypersensitivity, suggesting that neuroplastic changes at the central nervous system underlie this condition. While this knowledge has enhanced our understanding of pathophysiological processes in chronic low back pain, it is currently unclear how early these somatosensory changes develop. Therefore, the broad aims of this thesis are: to investigate the time course of somatosensory changes from the acute stage of low back pain without serious pathology; to examine the prognostic utility of this information in low back pain; and to address methodological aspects of such assessment using quantitative sensory testing (QST). In order to meet these aims, several research approaches have been undertaken. Two systematic reviews of the literature were carried out to establish whether somatosensory changes are a feature of acute low back pain compared to healthy controls (Chapter 2) and to investigate the prognostic ability of QST in low back pain (Chapter 5). An inception cohort study, using a comprehensive QST assessment, was carried out to inform whether early somatosensory changes can be detected soon after low back pain onset compared to pain-free individuals (Chapter 3). The assessment included evaluation of endogenous pain modulation (Chapter 4) and tracked changes in somatosensory function over time, until 4 months after onset (Chapter 7). This comprehensive data set has also enabled the evaluation of important methodological issues related to the stability of QST over time in healthy individuals (Chapter 6). Overall, the work presented in this thesis has contributed to the body of evidence regarding the evaluation of somatosensory function in the early stages of low back pain, as well as providing novel methodological insights into QST testing. This scholarly work has specific implications for clinicians and researchers addressing low back pain, the condition of highest disability burden worldwide.

description: Context. Cassiopeia A occupies an important place among supernova remnants (SNRs) in low-frequency radio astronomy. The analysis of its continuum spectrum from low frequency observations reveals the evolution of the SNR absorption properties over time and suggests a method for probing unshocked ejecta and the SNR interaction with the circumstellar medium (CSM). Aims. In this paper we present low-frequency measurements of the integrated spectrum of Cassiopeia A to find the typical values of free-free absorption parameters towards this SNR in the middle of 2023. We also add new results to track its slowly evolving and decreasing integrated flux density. Methods. We used the New Extension in Nançay Upgrading LOFAR (NenuFAR) and the Ukrainian Radio Interferometer of NASU (URAN-2, Poltava) for measuring the continuum spectrum of Cassiopeia A within the frequency range of 8-66 MHz. The radio flux density of Cassiopeia A has been obtained on June-July, 2023 with two sub-arrays for each radio telescope, used as a two-element correlation interferometer. Results. We measured magnitudes of emission measure, electron temperature and an average number of charges of the ions for both internal and external absorbing ionized gas towards Cassiopeia A from its integrated spectrum. Generally, their values are comparable to those presented by Stanislavsky et al. (2023), but their slight changes show the evolution of free-free absorption parameters in this SNR. Based on high accuracy of the measurements, we have detected the SNR-CSM interaction. Conclusions. The integrated flux-density spectrum of Cassiopeia A obtained with the NenuFAR and URAN-2 interferometric observations opens up new possibilities for continuous monitoring the ionized gas properties in and around Cassiopeia A to observe theevolution of unshocked ejecta and the SNR-CSM interaction in future studies.
Intelectuais conservadores e autoritarismo: a construção da memória dos heróis da Nação e a simbologia do patriotismo na Revista da Academia Brasileira de Letras (ABL) durante a ditadura militar brasileira

description: This article presents the result of a research on the Brazilian Academy of Letters (ABL) during the military dictatorship. It aims to analyse to what extent this supposedly apolitical institution served as an instance of legitimation for the regime. The article examines the way the “immortals” sought to build a memory of the “heroes of the Nation”. In doing so, they extolled important values to the regime as civility and patriotism. The option for this perspective allowed to restore the complexity and ambiguity of the relations between the ABL and the regime established in Brazil in 1964.

description: We present a model-based output-only method for identifying from time series the parameters governing the dynamics of stochastically forced oscillators. In this context, suitable models of the oscillator's damping and stiffness properties are postulated, guided by physical understanding of the oscillatory phenomena. The temporal dynamics and the probability density function of the oscillation amplitude are described by a Langevin equation and its associated Fokker-Planck equation, respectively. One method consists in fitting the postulated analytical drift and diffusion coefficients with their estimated values, obtained from data processing by taking the short-time limit of the first two transition moments. However, this limit estimation loses robustness in some situations - for instance when the data is band-pass filtered to isolate the spectral contents of the oscillatory phenomena of interest. In this paper, we use a robust alternative where the adjoint Fokker-Planck equation is solved to compute Kramers-Moyal coefficients exactly, and an iterative optimisation yields the parameters that best fit the observed statistics simultaneously in a wide range of amplitudes and time scales. The method is illustrated with a stochastic Van der Pol oscillator serving as a prototypical model of thermoacoustic instabilities in practical combustors, where system identification is highly relevant to control.

description: In the last two decades memorial movements and certain types of historiography have firmly gotten into a discussion about memory of the recent Spanish history. It is a fact that this discussion has relatively destabilized the public and hegemonic memory we inherited from Franco's regime and we consolidated during the transition to democracy. Nevertheless, Spanish democracy remains long established on some 1936 war memories that incline not wanting to know or not being able to remember through alternative interpretations. This shows a mischief way of being in the world, especially if we compare it to the subjectivities produced by the gradually introduced public policies on human rights in Latin America.

description: Olfaction is the oldest sense in humans yet remains the least researched and least understood of the five senses. The olfactory system is most typically thought to be important only for its practical functions in smell and taste. However, olfaction researchers overwhelmingly agree that this chemosensory sense is much more sophisticated than these basic functions. Recent research has begun to explore the role of olfaction in social functions such as emotions and relationships. The thesis aimed to investigate the previous research on olfactory functioning with respect to its role and influence in social contexts, and highlight the key social areas where olfaction has been implicated. The literature review examined previous olfaction research in order to highlight the importance of this sensory system, then present research that points to the role of olfaction in facilitating relationships. The empirical study focused on olfactory ability and, in particular, its relationship with adult attachment styles. Participants (N= 80) completed a series of questionnaires measuring attachment and relationship styles, empathy, and psychological well being (DASS-21). In addition, participant evaluated the significance of their sense of smell, and completed three olfactory tasks (Sniffin Sticks) that test odor threshold, discrimination and identification ability. Empirical findings are presented and discussed with respect to existing research. This is the first study to specifically study olfactory ability and attachment. Given the robust links between olfaction, emotions and relationship factors, more research is needed in this area in order to gain a better understanding of the influence of olfaction in social relations.

description: The development of health indicators to measure healthy life expectancy (HLE) is an active field of research aimed at summarizing the health of a population. Although many health indicators have emerged in the literature as critical metrics in public health assessments, the methods and data to conduct this evaluation vary considerably in nature and quality. Traditionally, health data collection relies on population surveys. However, these studies, typically of limited size, encompass only a small yet representative segment of the population. This limitation can necessitate the separate estimation of incidence and mortality rates, significantly restricting the available analysis methods. In this article, we leverage an extract from the French National Hospital Discharge database to define health indicators. Our analysis focuses on the resulting Disease-Free Life Expectancy (Dis-FLE) indicator, which provides insights based on the hospital trajectory of each patient admitted to hospital in France during 2008-13. Through this research, we illustrate the advantages and disadvantages of employing large clinical datasets as the foundation for more robust health indicators. We shed light on the opportunities that such data offer for a more comprehensive understanding of the health status of a population. In particular, we estimate age-dependent hazard rates associated with sex, alcohol abuse, tobacco consumption, and obesity, as well as geographic location. Simultaneously, we delve into the challenges and limitations that arise when adopting such a data-driven approach.

description: This article analyses the relation between history and memory through the case of the massive violence of the Spanish context after the coup of 1936, the Spanish Civil War and the first years of Franco’s regime. It analyses the process of transformation of the sites of violence in sites of memory during Francoism, and in the current democracy that was born in the transition. The present article argues that in the Spanish case this transformation meant the creation of places of denial, like a previous step to its conversion in places of oblivion and impunity.

description: Graphical exploratory assessment of the relationship between the probability of bovine TB visible lesion (VL) presence and the bovine minus avian tuberculin (b-a) reaction sizes (mm) at the disclosing test for cattle culled in Northern Ireland during bTB breakdowns (nâ =â 5698). The LOWESS curve (grey solid line) is a locally weighted regression line (bandwidth: 0.5); orange line represent b-a as a log-transformed predictor. Note, that the log-transformed predictor fails to address the increasing risk at negative b-a values, due to this the b-a variable was modelled as a categorical variable. (PDF 159 kb)
