description: Clays are a broad class of ubiquitous layered materials. Their specific chemophysical properties are intimately connected to their molecular structure, featuring repeating patterns broken by substitutions. Molecular dynamics simulations can provide insight into the mechanisms leading to the emergent properties of these layered materials, however up to now idealised clay structures have been simulated to make the modelling process tractable. We present ClayCode, software facilitating the modelling of clay systems closely resembling experimentally determined structures. By comparing a realistic model to a commonly used montmorillonite clay model, we demonstrate that idealised models feature noticeably different ionic adsorption patterns. We then present an application of ClayCode to the study the competitive barium and sodium adsorption on Wyoming montmorillonite, Georgia kaolinite, and Montana illite, of interest in the context of nuclear waste disposal.

description: We study mass flow rate through a disc resulting from a varying mass supply rate. Variable mass supply rate occurs, e.g., during disc state transitions, and in interacting eccentric binaries. It is, however, damped by the viscosity of the disc. Here, we calculate this damping in detail. We derive an analytical description of the propagation of the flow rate using the solution of Lynden-Bell & Pringle, in which the disc is assumed to extend to infinity. In particular, we derive the accretion-rate Green's function, and its Fourier transform, which gives the fractional damping at a given variability frequency. We then compare this model to that of a finite disc with the mass supply at its outer edge. We find significant differences with respect to the infinite disc solution, which we find to overestimate the viscous damping. In particular, the asymptotic form of the Green's function is power-law for the infinite disc and exponential for the finite one. We then find a simple fitting form for the latter, and also calculate its Fourier transform. In general, the damping becomes very strong when the viscous time at the outer edge of the disc becomes longer than the modulation time scale. We apply our results to a number of astrophysical systems. We find the effect is much stronger in low-mass X-ray binaries, where the disc size is comparable to that of the Roche lobe, than in high-mass binaries, where the wind-fed disc can have a much smaller size.

description: We study the problem of two Dirac particles interacting through non-relativistic potentials and confined to a two-dimensional sheet, which is the relevant case for graphene layers. The two-body problem cannot be mapped into that of a single particle, due to the non-trivial coupling between the center-of-mass and the relative coordinates, even in the presence of central potentials. We focus on the case of zero total momentum, which is equivalent to that of a single particle in a Sutherland lattice. We show that zero-energy states induce striking new features such as discontinuities in the relative wave function, for particles interacting through a step potential, and a concentration of relative density near the classical turning point, if particles interact via a Coulomb potential. In the latter case we also find that the two-body system becomes unstable above a critical coupling. These phenomena may have bearing on the nature of strong coupling phases in graphene.

description: The organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) is an abundant biowaste with great potential in the bioeconomy model. Previous reports have demonstrated that OFMSW hydrolysates are good substrates for lactic acid (LA) production. However, LA can exist in two enantiomeric forms (L- and D-) and most commercial LA applications require a high enantiomeric purity, typically of the L-isomer. Due to natural occurring bacteria in the waste, a mixture of D- and L-LA can form in the substrate, reducing the final enantiomeric purity of the product and limiting its commercial application. In the research reported in this article, hydrolysates from OFMSW were evaluated for the production L-LA with high enantiomeric purity. Firstly, a pre-treatment with monopolar electrodialysis membranes was implemented to remove the unfavourable D-LA in the hydrolysate. This step allowed the reduction in LA concentration and subsequent fermentations of the hydrolysate resulted in enantiomeric purities over 98%. At the pilot scale, a fermentation of the pre-treated hydrolysate, by B. coagulans A166, resulted in a final LA concentration of 61.1 g L−1 and a yield of 0.94 g g−1. The downstream of the process resulted on a LA recovery of 51.5% and a L-LA optical purity of 98.7%.
Phase-averaged analysis of an oscillating water column wave energy converter

Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The work described in this thesis is concerned with the application of phase-averaging to experimental data obtained for a forward-facing bent-duct oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy converter. Experiments were performed on a three-dimensional model of the OWC in monochromatic waves. The research includes the development of new curve-fitting and ensemble-averaging phase-averaging algorithms designed to phase-average two-dimensional particle-imaging velocimetry (PIV) data. The phase-averaged PIV velocity fields were then used for qualitative and quantitative analysis. Qualitatively - visualisation of the velocity fields as vectors over a wave cycle shows the average flow field phenomena including bulk flow, water column slosh, front wall swash and downwash, vortices and an outflow jet. Quantitatively ‚Äö- two-dimensional kinetic energy and vorticity was calculated from the phase-averaged velocity fields and used in an energy balance analysis. Experimental and theoretical data were combined in an energy balance analysis of the OWC to map the flow of energy from the incoming waves to intermediate stores and finally to sinks, which importantly permits the inclusion of non-linear phenomena. Using the energy model it was found that for the OWC model tested that the phase-averaged energy dissipated by the power-take-off was greater during water outflow than during water inflow. Phase-averaged experimental analysis of OWCs is an additional tool suitable for the design of underwater geometry of OWCs with potential application to other wave energy converters.
Typicality in random matrix product states

description: Recent results suggest that the use of ensembles in Statistical Mechanics may not be necessary for isolated systems, since typically the states of the Hilbert space would have properties similar to the ones of the ensemble. Nevertheless, it is often argued that most of the states of the Hilbert space are non-physical and not good descriptions of realistic systems. Therefore, to better understand the actual power of typicality it is important to ask if it is also a property of a set of physically relevant states. Here we address this issue, studying if and how typicality emerges in the set of matrix product states. We show analytically that typicality occurs for the expectation value of subsystems' observables when the rank of the matrix product state scales polynomially with the size of the system with a power greater than two. We illustrate this result numerically and present some indications that typicality may appear already for a linear scaling of the rank of the matrix product state.

Over one million Syrians have settled in Jordan, the majority of whom live in urban and peri-urban areas, others in Zaatari and Azraq refugee camps. A lot of attention has gone to the challenges faced by in-camp refugees, but those based in cities and rural areas are vulnerable in ways that also need attention. With no end in sight to the Syrian crisis, bolstering support for out-of-camp refugees could make a difference in the lives of more than 80 per cent of Syrians in Jordan.

The shapes of the bispectrum are compared with the local-type non-Gaussianity that arises from non-linear dynamics on super-horizon scales.

description: We consider dynamics of a scalar field in compactification scenario of Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet cosmology. It is shown that if the field is non-minimally coupled to curvature, its asymptotic value under certain conditions may be shifted from the minimum of its potential. This means that due to influence of extra dimensions a scalar field with $λϕ^4$ potential can stabilise away from $ϕ=0$ stable point which means an effective symmetry breaking occurs in such a system.

description: The TCP window size process appears in the modeling of the famous Transmission Control Protocol used for data transmission over the Internet. This continuous time Markov process takes its values in $[0,\infty)$, is ergodic and irreversible. It belongs to the Additive Increase Multiplicative Decrease class of processes. The sample paths are piecewise linear deterministic and the whole randomness of the dynamics comes from the jump mechanism. Several aspects of this process have already been investigated in the literature. In the present paper, we mainly get quantitative estimates for the convergence to equilibrium, in terms of the $W_1$ Wasserstein coupling distance, for the process and also for its embedded chain.

Synthetic studies in indole alkaloids
Creators: name: Gletsos, Constantie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The total synthesis of a variety of indole and dihydroindole alkaloids, is described. Mere specifically, the d1-epimers of naturally occurring vincadine, vincaminoreine, vincaminorine, minovine, vincadifformine, N-methyl-quebrachamine and vincaminoridirie have been obtained by appropriate modifications in the general synthetic scheme. This work also illustrates that the transannular cyclization reaction previously developed in our laboratories is of great versatility in the synthesis of alkaloids in the Vinca and Aspidosperma families. In essence, the synthetic sequence involves the reaction of the aldehydo-ester (118) with either tryptamine or 6-methoxytryptamine to provide in high yield, the tetracyclic lactams (119 or 166). Lithium aluminum hydride reduction of the latter, followed by hydrogenolysis of the benzyl group provided the corresponding alcohols (94 or 165). These compounds were transformed via their mesylate derivatives to the quaternary salts (95 or 187) which served as the crucial intermediates for the preparation of the nine-membered-ring alkaloids. Finally transannular cyclization of the latter substances leads to the pentacyclic Aspidosperma and Vinca alkaloids.

description: In the context of the ongoing transformation of China’s economic development model, the central

government under Xi Jinping announced a general upgrading of China’s skill-formation system. The

initiative is part of a larger strategy to avoid the middle income trap and move towards a high-skill

route of development. One of the core challenges in this respect is to consolidate the cooperation of

enterprises and vocational schools and colleges, and to couple the realms of education and employment

more tightly. The aim of this paper is to analyze these issues in the institutional context of state-permeated

capitalism from the perspective of actor-centered institutionalism. By conducting a structured

and focused comparison of the fields of nursing and mechanical engineering in two vocational

colleges in Eastern China, it identifies important factors facilitative to reforms. The nursing case illustrates

that bureaucratic integration and a dominance of the public sector facilitate the cooperation of

schools and enterprises and the coupling of education and employment. Here, hierarchical steering

can reinforce cooperation and couple education and employment via vocational qualification certificates.

The fragmentation of bureaucratic authority and marketization, on the other hand, require new

patterns of cooperation and coupling. The case of mechanical engineering illustrates the potential of

well-performing

education facilities to attract cooperation partners without direct state support, and

of industry associations to play an intermediary role between schools and companies, and to develop

new vocational qualifications geared to companies’ requirements. The case study design focuses on

areas of vocational education with high incentives for cooperation and good material conditions. The

preliminary results indicate that the generally negative assessment of China’s TVET system in the literature

may be somewhat too pessimistic, and that a more differentiated analysis is needed.

description: Recently it has been argued that tree-level scattering amplitudes in N=4 Yang-Mills theory are uniquely determined by a careful study of their superconformal and Yangian symmetries. However, at one-loop order these symmetries are known to become anomalous due to infrared divergences. We compute these one-loop anomalies for amplitudes defined through dimensional regularisation by studying the tree-level symmetry transformations of the unitarity branch cuts, keeping track of the crucial collinear terms arising from the holomorphic anomaly. We extract the superconformal anomalies and show that they may be cancelled through a universal one-loop deformation of the tree-level symmetry generators which involves only tree-level data. Specialising to the planar theory we also obtain the analogous deformation for the level-one Yangian generator of momentum. Explicit checks of our one-loop deformation are performed for MHV and the 6-point NMHV amplitudes.

description: The crystal structure of 1,5-diphenyltricyclo [2.1.0.0²˒⁵] pent-3-yl p-bromobenzoate has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are triclinic, a = 5.92, b = 8.98, c = 17.85 Å, ⍺ = 89°17', β = 82°46', Ɣ = 89°50', Z = 2, space group Pī. The structure was determined with visual Cu-K[formula omitted] data by heavy atom Patterson and Fourier methods, and the positional and thermal parameters were refined by least-squares, the final discrepancy index R, being 0.16 for 1228 observed reflections. The tricyclopentane system is highly strained, with six C-C-C angles of 60°, three of 80°, and four of 90°, and an intramolecular non-bonded C...C distance of 1.99 Å. The C-C bond lengths are similar to those of normal single bonds, except for the bond common to the two three-membered rings, which may possibly be slightly shorter than the others.

The idea is to make use of resonant transmission of ancilla qubit through the two fixed qubits, controlled by the entanglement in the scatterers. Repetition of the resonant transmission extracts the singlet state in the target qubits from their arbitrary given state. Neither the preparation nor the post-selection of the ancilla spin is required, in contrast to the previously proposed schemes.

The Long road home : repatriation in Tasmania, 1916-1929
Creators: name: Richardson, A
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis examines the work of repatriation authorities in Tasmania after WWI, the returned soldiers' responses to the system, and the experiences of both the soldiers and the authorities in re-establishing returned men into society. Repatriation was one of the great problems facing Australian administrators after the Great War. The need to provide for the large numbers of returning soldiers and cater for their re-establishment into society was one of the most costly programs undertaken by the Commonwealth. Pryor, Lloyd, Rees, and Garton have all examined repatriation in Australia in a national context, while other authors have considered select repatriation policies on a regional basis. However, previous historians have failed to investigate the specific Tasmanian context of major Commonwealth repatriation policies such as the soldier land settlement scheme, employment, health services, and the political dimension of repatriation. This thesis focuses on the Tasmanian context to enable some comparison where applicable with Commonwealth outcomes of repatriation. To provide comparison and to examine repatriation policy and its implementation in Tasmania, this thesis focuses on the design and implementation of Commonwealth Repatriation poI icy during the latter half of the war, and assesses a decade of its post war performance of, in particular, policies such as health and employment. Returned soldiers' abilities to reassimilate successfully into the community were determined by two main factors. Firstly, Commonwealth health policy, treatment, and subsequent pensions were crucial to Tasmanian returned soldiers who suffered injuries caused or aggravated by their war service. Secondly and even more important was the need for meaningful employment and vocational opportunities and training. Employment and vocational training for returned men had the most immediate impact on their abilities to re-engage with society and support families; hence it was crucial to the success in their efforts to repatriate. One form of employment involved the Returned Soldier Land Settlement Scheme. It illustrated the provision of employment and vocational opportunities in Tasmania, and it suffered the highest failure rates in the Commonwealth in terms of soldiers vacated and of losses per head. Through the examination of legislation, departmental correspondence, individual cases, media reports and a State Royal Commission, the path of the scheme in Tasmania is explored. In understanding the design and implementation of Commonwealth repatriation polices and local responses to it, Tasmania's unique social and regional needs are highlighted. Repatriation in Tasmania largely confirms the broader national experience with some exceptions based on the State's comparatively isolated location, with the conclusion that Commonwealth policies. while at times adequate, could not hope to satisfy all the needs of the Tasmanian returned soldier.

We find non-supersymmetric models of SU(5) and SO(10) unification, with natural Wilson coefficients c, that easily satisfy the constraints from proton decay. Furthermore, gauge coupling unification at scales as high as the Planck scale seems feasible, possibly hinting at simultaneous unification of gauge and gravitational interactions. In the Appendix we work out the group theoretical aspects of this scenario for SU(5) and SO(10) unified groups in detail; this material is also relevant in the analysis of non-universal gaugino masses obtained from supergravity.

description: A solution, solid-state, and computational study is reported of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon PAH/PAH(CF3)n donor/acceptor (D/A) charge-transfer complexes that involve six PAH(CF3)n acceptors with known gas-phase electron affinities that range from 2.11(2) to 2.805(15) eV and four PAH donors, including seven CT co-crystal X-ray structures that exhibit hexagonal arrays of mixed π-stacks with 1/1, 1/2, or 2/1 D/A stoichiometries (PAH=anthracene, azulene, coronene, perylene, pyrene, triphenylene; n=5, 6). These are the first D/A CT complexes with PAH(CF3)n acceptors to be studied in detail. The nine D/A combinations were chosen to allow several structural and electronic comparisons to be made, providing new insights about controlling D/A interactions and the structures of CT co-crystals. The comparisons include, among others, CT complexes of the same PAH(CF3)n acceptor with four PAH donors and CT complexes of the same donor with four PAH(CF3)n acceptors. All nine CT complexes exhibit charge-transfer bands in solution with λmax between 467 and 600 nm. A plot of E(λmax) versus [IE(donor)−EA(acceptor)] for the nine CT complexes studied is linear with a slope of 0.72±0.03 eV eV−1. This plot is the first of its kind for CT complexes with structurally related donors and acceptors for which precise experimental gas-phase IEs and EAs are known. It demonstrates that conclusions based on the common assumption that the slope of a CT E(λmax) versus [IE−EA] plot is unity may be incorrect in at least some cases and should be reconsidered. © 2019 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

description: Multimodal emotion recognition in conversation (MERC) seeks to identify the speakers' emotions expressed in each utterance, offering significant potential across diverse fields. The challenge of MERC lies in balancing speaker modeling and context modeling, encompassing both long-distance and short-distance contexts, as well as addressing the complexity of multimodal information fusion. Recent research adopts graph-based methods to model intricate conversational relationships effectively. Nevertheless, the majority of these methods utilize a fixed fully connected structure to link all utterances, relying on convolution to interpret complex context. This approach can inherently heighten the redundancy in contextual messages and excessive graph network smoothing, particularly in the context of long-distance conversations. To address this issue, we propose a framework that dynamically adjusts hypergraph connections by variational hypergraph autoencoder (VHGAE), and employs contrastive learning to mitigate uncertainty factors during the reconstruction process. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposal against the state-of-the-art methods on IEMOCAP and MELD datasets. We release the code to support the reproducibility of this work at https://github.com/yzjred/-HAUCL.

description: Using the factorization approach and considering the contributions of the current-current, QCD penguin and electroweak penguin operators at the leading approximation, the decay amplitudes and decay widths of $B_q\to D_q(D_q^*) P$ and $B_q\to D_q(D_q^*) V$ transitions, where $q=u,d,s$ and P and V are pseudoscalar and vector mesons, are calculated in terms of the transition form factors of the $B_q\to D_{q}$ and $B_q\to D^{*}_{q}$. Having computed those form factors in three-point QCD sum rules, the branching fraction for these decays are also evaluated. A comparison of our results with the predictions of the perturbative QCD as well as the existing experimental data is presented.

A Topology for the Penumbral Magnetic Fields

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We describe a scenario for the topology of the magnetic field in penumbrae that accounts for recent observations showing upflows, downflows, and reverse magnetic polarities. According to our conjecture, short narrow magnetic loops fill the penumbral photosphere. Flows along these arched field lines are responsible for both the Evershed effect and the convective transport. This scenario seems to be qualitatively consistent with most existing observations, including the dark cores in penumbral filaments reported by Scharmer et al. Each bright filament with dark core would be a system of two paired convective rolls with the dark core tracing the common lane where the plasma sinks down. The magnetic loops would have a hot footpoint in one of the bright filament and a cold footpoint in the dark core. The scenario fits in most of our theoretical prejudices (siphon flows along field lines, presence of overturning convection, drag of field lines by downdrafts, etc). If the conjecture turns out to be correct, the mild upward and downward velocities observed in penumbrae must increase upon improving the resolution. This and other observational tests to support or disprove the scenario are put forward.

description: Abstract

Osteoarthritis (OA) constitutes a significant public health challenge, imposing substantial burdens on individuals and healthcare systems globally. Characterized by progressive degeneration of articular cartilage, OA manifests as chronic joint pain, functional limitations, and diminished quality of life. The prevalence and impact of OA necessitate increased public awareness and comprehensive management strategies. Objective: Employ a qualitative research method involving interviews with osteoarthritis patients at Civil Hospital, Karachi, to gain insights into their dietary practices and related knowledge. Method: To investigate dietary practices among osteoarthritis patients, a 4-month cross-sectional study was conducted at Civil Hospital's Orthopedic and OPD. Data were collected from 100 patients using a pre-tested questionnaire administered through convenient sampling. Statistical analysis using SPSS 24.0 involved calculating frequencies and employing chi-square tests to explore potential associations between variables. Result: Higher levels of education were found to be positively associated with greater knowledge of dietary practices, which in turn was associated with slower disease progression in osteoarthritis patients. This study identified a significant linkage between educational attainment, patient understanding of dietary recommendations, and the rate of disease advancement in individuals with osteoarthritis. Conclusion: This study suggests a potential link between patients' educational level and their knowledge and behavior regarding dietary practices relevant to osteoarthritis. Notably, findings indicate that inadequate knowledge about the disease may contribute to poorer dietary choices and potentially exacerbate joint pain and disease progression. Further research is necessary to establish clearer causal relationships and inform targeted interventions.

description: In this paper, time variable cosmological constant, dubbed {\it age cosmological constant}, is investigated motivated by the fact: any cosmological length scale and time scale can introduce a cosmological constant or vacuum energy density into Einstein's theory. The age cosmological constant takes the form $ρ_Λ=3c^2M^2_P/t_Λ^2$, where $t_Λ$ is the age of our universe or conformal time. The effective equation of state of age cosmological constant are $w^{eff}_Λ=-1+{2/3}\frac{\sqrt{Ω_Λ}}{c}$ and $w^{eff}_Λ=-1+{2/3}\frac{\sqrt{Ω_Λ}}{c}(1+z)$ when the age of universe and conformal time are taken as the role of cosmological time scales respectively. They are the same as the so-called agegraphic dark energy models. However, the evolution history are different from the agegraphic ones for their different evolution equations.

Experiencing unbuilding and in-between spaces : analysing works by Gordon Matta-Clark, Rachel Whiteread and Michael Arad
Creators: name: Krause, AK
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Art and architecture have been used to invest politically contentious meaning into practices of urban unbuilding and the creation of in-between spaces. This research seeks to understand examples of such work by critically reading the works of two artists and one architect: Day's End (1975) by Gordon Matta-Clark, House (1993) by Rachel Whiteread and National September 11 Memorial design (opened 2011) by Michael Arad. The investigation aims to deepen scholarly understanding by demonstrating how critical debate can connect art and architectural works and methodologies in sites and geographies of unbuilding and in-between spaces. The methodology used in this investigation is a mixture of fine art analysis, architectural criticism and geographical theory, which reflects my experience in these areas. It seeks to weave together insights from a range of theorists who explore ideas of unbuilding, in-between spaces and embodied experience. It also draws on auto-ethnography and observational ethnographic methods used when doing field work at the National September 11 Memorial and other sites. Of particular importance in such comparative analysis is first the manner in which all three works have responded to sites that are politically contentious, and second the way in which the artists and architect have sought to invest and give meaning to these urban spaces. These acts of making meaning occur differently with each of the works, with the audience interpreting the works in a way that is different to the artist's and architect's initial aims. This contribution to scholarship is significant because it shows how urban life; space and place; ownership and access; and politics can be addressed through works that involve unbuilding and in-between spaces. Day's End, House and the National September 11 Memorial design illustrate how artistic interventions into politically contentious places catalyse public debate about the events embedded in these sites.

description: Deliverable D1.4 is the result of the work carried out in Task 1.4 “Specifications of RESTORE Numerical Models and Virtual Use-Cases for Simulation” of WP1 (RESTORE Requirements Definition, Specifications and Analysis). It describes the relevant specifications for the numerical models developed within RESTORE Project, giving emphasis to the models that are used in the six defined virtual use-cases for RESTORE. For this, D1.4 gathers specifications, such as feasible computational effort, compatibility between models, adaptability to the web-platform, modularity and flexibility.

The information provided here builds up on the general guideline of Deliverable D1.1 of the RESTORE overall concept, and focuses on its modelling, emphasizing the simulation concept of the project and the adaption of the simulation tools for the design of each Use-Case in an ad-hoc solution, considering the boundary conditions imposed by each specific application. In this context, the document provides the general basis to be considered as a guide during the project process modelling and use-cases implementation.
