description: We classify new physics signals in coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) processes induced by B8 solar neutrinos in multi-ton xenon dark matter (DM) detectors. Our analysis focuses on vector and scalar interactions in the effective and light mediator limits after considering the constraints emerging from the recent COHERENT data and neutrino masses. In both cases we identify a region where measurements of the event spectrum alone suffice to establish whether the new physics signal is related with vector or scalar couplings. We identify as well a region where in addition measurements of the recoil spectrum are required so to establish the nature of the new interaction, and categorize the spectral features that enable distinguishing the vector from the scalar case. We demonstrate that measurements of the isospin nature of the new interaction and thereby removal of isospin related degeneracies are possible by combining independent measurements from two different detectors. We also comment on the status of searches for vector and scalar interactions for on-going multi-ton year xenon experiments. Presented at the 2019 Magnificent CEvNS workshop.

description: In this article we study the fluctuation of linear statistics of eigenvalues of circulant, symmetric circulant, reverse circulant and Hankel matrices. We show that the linear spectral statistics of these matrices converges to the Gaussian distribution in total variation norm when the matrices are constructed using i.i.d. normal random variables. We also calculate the limiting variance of the linear spectral statistics for circulant, symmetric circulant and reverse circulant matrices.

description: We study spatially indirect excitons of GaAs quantum wells, confined in a 10 microns electrostatic trap. Below a critical temperature of about 1 Kelvin, we detect macroscopic spatial coherence and quantised vortices in the weak photoluminescence emitted from the trap. These quantum signatures are restricted to a narrow range of density, in a dilute regime. They manifest the formation of a four-component superfluid, made by a low population of optically bright excitons coherently coupled to a dominant fraction of optically dark excitons.

description: We explore spin dynamics in Cu(1,3-bdc), a quasi-2D topological magnon insulator. The results show that the thermal evolution of Landé $g$-factor ($g$) is anisotropic: $g_\textrm{in-plane}$ reduces while $g_\textrm{out-plane}$ increases with increasing temperature $T$. Moreover, the anisotropy of the $g$-factor ($Δg$) and the anisotropy of saturation magnetization ($ΔM_\textrm{s}$) are correlated below 4 K, but they diverge above 4 K. We show that the electronic orbital moment contributes to the $g$ anisotropy at lower $T$, while the topological orbital moment induced by thermally excited spin chirality dictates the $g$ anisotropy at higher $T$. Our work suggests an interplay among topology, spin chirality, and orbital magnetism in Cu(1,3-bdc).

description: All-electrical writing and reading of spin states attract considerable attention for their promising applications in energy-efficient spintronics devices. Here we show, based on rigorous first-principles calculations, that the spin properties can be manipulated and detected in molecular spinterfaces, where an iron tetraphenyl porphyrin (FeTPP) molecule is deposited on boron-substituted graphene (B-G). Notably, a reversible spin switching between the $S=1$ and $S=3/2$ states is achieved by a gate electrode. We can trace the origin to a strong hybridization between the Fe-$d_{{z}^2}$ and B-$p_z$ orbitals. Combining density functional theory with nonequilibrium Green's function formalism, we propose an experimentally feasible 3-terminal setup to probe the spin state. Furthermore, we show how the in-plane quantum transport for the B-G, which is non-spin polarized, can be modified by FeTPP, yielding a significant transport spin polarization near the Fermi energy ($>10\%$ for typical coverage). Our work paves the way to realize all-electrical spintronics devices using molecular spinterfaces.

Investigating questioning strategies and assessment practices in primary school science classes: the response to the assessment reforms in Saudi Arabi

Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the Faculty of Education, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

Saudi science teachers in primary schools think that they are practising assessment in an appropriate way. However, it seems that they are doing something different. This misunderstanding has emerged through the overlap between formative assessment and continuous assessment that exists in literature and has been reinforced by the assessment reform introduced in Saudi Arabia. Formative assessment enables diagnosis of the students’ learning. Continuous assessment emphasises time and repetition. Recently, Saudi Arabia has implemented continuous assessment in primary schools. The Ministry of Education in Saudi Arabia has actively promoted this new form of assessment. It released a student's assessment record to assist teachers in the application of this new assessment process. The local literature has revealed difficulties in implementing the new form of assessment. This study investigates how primary school science teachers in Riyadh practise continuous assessment as promoted in the document policy. Additionally, it explores the difficulties that have emerged for those teachers through the overlap between formative and continuous assessment. To accomplish these aims, the study adopted a mixed methods approach. The study data include questionnaire responses from 112 primary school science teachers as well as observations of and interviews with five of the 112 teachers. The data were collected on two occasions. The first time was at the beginning of the Saudi school year and the second time at the end of the same school year. This research has indicated that there exist an ambiguity in understanding the new policy by Saudi teachers. The key results also that teachers are using continuous assessment in a summative way rather than formative way as desired by Ministry of Education. In conclusion, clarity of policy documents, large class sizes, high workloads and lack of teacher's trainings are among key constraints for successful deployment of new assessment policy.

description: Andreev bound states (ABSs) are localized quantum states that contain both electron and hole components. They ubiquitously reside in inhomogeneous superconducting systems. Following theoretical analysis, we propose to probe the electron-hole weights of an ABS via a local tunneling measurement that detects the transient current under a steplike pulse bias. With our protocol, the ABS energy level can also be obtained from peaks of the Fourier spectrum of the transient current. Our protocol can be applied to detect robust zero-energy Majorana bound states (MBSs), which have equal electron-hole weights, in candidate platforms where local tunneling spectroscopy measurement is possible. In the 1D Majorana nanowire model, we numerically calculate the electron-hole weights for different types of low-energy bound states, including ABSs, quasi-MBSs, and MBSs.

description: We introduce a minimalistic quantum motor for coupled energy and particle transport. The system is composed of two spins, each coupled to a different bath and to a particle which can move on a ring consisting of three sites. We show that the energy flowing from the baths to the system can be partially converted to perform work against an external driving, even in the presence of moderate dissipation. We also analytically demonstrate the necessity of coupling between the spins. We suggest an experimental realization of our model using trapped ions or quantum dots.

Design and DNA binding of model anti-cancer drugs

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the School of Molecular Science, Faculty of Science, Technology and Engineering, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

This thesis describes the design and measurement of the DNA binding properties in the presence of formaldehyde of several acridine derivatives with primary amino-containing side chains. An aim of this work was to emulate the activation of Adriamycin by formaldehyde and consequent binding to DNA, using simpler, easier to synthesise compounds. Two derivatives of the anti-tumour agent N-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl] acridine-4-carboxamide (designated C2-DACA and C2-DACA dimer in this thesis) were studied. The length of the side chain was varied, and the tertiary amine was modified to a primary amine. This was to facilitate interaction with formaldehyde and subsequent covalent binding of the formaldehyde-activated drug to DNA. The DNA-binding abilities of a derivative N-(2-aminoethyl)acridine-4- carboxamide.oxalate, C2-DACA, and its dimer were investigated using radiolabelled DNA electrophoretic crosslinking assays, and binding studies based on absorbance, but did not show DNA binding. Molecular modelling showed that the side chain of C2-DACA was too short and under considerable steric hindrance once intercalated and covalently bound to DNA. The length of the side chain proved to be insufficient to reach the preferred binding site. Molecular modelling also showed that extending the chain by 2 or 3 carbons would allow favourable interactions between the intercalating acridine derivative and DNA, and allow the side chain to covalently bind to the DNA. The compound arising from the molecular modelling N-(4-aminobutyl) acridine-4-carboxamide, C4-DACA, was synthesised in a similar manner to C2-DACA. DNA binding experiments including an in vitro transcription assay showed that formaldehyde-activated C4- DACA bound to DNA. The energetics of Schiff base and aminal formation were calculated using quantum mechanic molecular orbital methods. Formaldehyde was found to be the most energetically favourable aldehyde in both enthalpy and entropy. The overall binding reaction of a primary amine reacting with formaldehyde, and subsequently with guanine to produce an aminal was exothermic. Most of this energy came from the Schiff base formation, with an additional smaller amount from the subsequent reaction of the imine with the exocyclic amine of guanine.

description: Let $A$ be a finite set of relatively prime positive integers, and let $S(A)$ be the set of all nonnegative integral linear combinations of elements of $A$. The set $S(A)$ is a semigroup that contains all sufficiently large integers. The largest integer not in $S(A)$ is the Frobenius number of $A$, and the number of positive integers not in $S(A)$ is the genus of $A$. Sharp and Sylvester proved in 1884 that the Frobenius number of the set $A = \{a,b\}$ is $ab-a-b$, and that the genus of $A$ is $(a-1)(b-1)/2$. Graded rings and a simple form of Hilbert's syzygy theorem are used to give a commutative algebra proof of this result.

Influence of impurities on electronic structure in cuprate superconductors

description: The impurity is inherently manifest in cuprate superconductors, as cation substitution or intercalation is necessary for the introduction of charge carriers, and its influence on the electronic state is at the heart of a great debate in physics. Here based on the microscopic octet scattering model, the influence of the impurity scattering on the electronic structure of cuprate superconductors is investigated in terms of the self-consistent T-matrix approach. The impurity scattering self-energy is evaluated firstly in the Fermi-arc-tip approximation of the quasiparticle excitations and scattering processes, and the obtained results show that the decisive role played by the impurity scattering self-energy in the particle-hole channel is the further renormalization of the quasiparticle band structure with a reduced quasiparticle lifetime, while the impurity scattering self-energy in the particle-particle channel induces a strong deviation from the d-wave behaviour of the superconducting gap, leading to the existence of a finite gap over the entire electron Fermi surface. Moreover, these impurity scattering self-energies are employed to study the exotic features of the line-shape in the quasiparticle excitation spectrum and the autocorrelation of the quasiparticle excitation spectra, and the obtained results are then compared with the corresponding experimental data. The theory therefore also indicates that the unconventional features of the electronic structure in cuprate superconductors is generated by both the strong electron correlation and impurity scattering.

description: We construct new large classes of BPS Wilson hyperloops in three-dimensional ${\cal N}=4$ quiver Chern-Simons-matter theory on $S^3$. The main strategy is to start with the 1/2 BPS Wilson loop of this theory, choose any linear combination of the supercharges it preserves, and look for deformations built out of the matter fields that still preserve that supercharge. This is a powerful generalization of a recently developed approach based on deformations of 1/4 and 1/8 BPS bosonic loops, which itself was far more effective at discovering new operators than older methods relying on complicated ansatze. We discover many new moduli spaces of BPS hyperloops preserving varied numbers of supersymmetries and varied subsets of the symmetries of the 1/2 BPS operator. In particular, we find new bosonic operators preserving 2 or 3 supercharges as well as new families of loops that do not share supercharges with any bosonic loops, including subclasses of both 1/8 and 1/4 BPS loops that are conformal.

We show that previous approximated results are particular limits of our exact master equation. We generalize these results to more complex systems involving an arbitrary number of two-level systems coupled to different thermal baths, providing the exact master equations also for these systems. As an example of this general case we derive the master equation for the Jaynes-Cummings model.

description: Even if the parameters determining a system's state are varied smoothly, the behavior of quantum correlations alike to quantum discord, and of its classical counterparts, can be very peculiar, with the appearance of non-analyticities in its rate of change. Here we review this sudden change phenomenon (SCP) discussing some important points related to it: Its uncovering, interpretations, and experimental verifications, its use in the context of the emergence of the pointer basis in a quantum measurement process, its appearance and universality under Markovian and non-Markovian dynamics, its theoretical and experimental investigation in some other physical scenarios, and the related phenomenon of double sudden change of trace distance discord. Several open questions are identified, and we envisage that in answering them we will gain significant further insight about the relation between the SCP and the symmetry-geometric aspects of the quantum state space.

title: AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF FLAT-PLATE POLYPROPYLENE PULSATING HEAT PIPES
Creators: name: Alqahtani, Ali
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2026

description: A comprehensive analysis of the heat transfer performance and the thermo hydrodynamic behaviour of a flat-plate, flexible polypropylene pulsating heat pipe (PHPs) is presented. In particular, the thermal performance was characterised for pulsating heat pipes with different operational and design parameters, including different numbers of turns of the serpentine channel, different orientations with respect to gravity, different heat transfer fluids, different reciprocal positions of the evaporator and the condenser (configurations), different bending angles (conformations), different gravity levels and with different impermeable coatings as barriers to gas permeation.
Flexible polymeric pulsating heat pipes are a passive thermal management technology with important prospective applications in foldable portable electronics, deployable systems (such as cube satellites), soft robotics, and many others, owing to their lightweight and high mechanical flexibility compared to the metallic ones, at the price of a generally much lower thermal conductivity and higher gas permeability. While few flexible polymeric PHPs have been developed in the recent past, to date, there is insufficient information about the dependence of polymeric PHPs’ performance on the above-mentioned operational and design parameters.
Several polypropylene PHP prototypes with different channel widths and loop geometries were fabricated using selective transmission laser welding technology. A few prototypes were coated with aluminium oxide (Al2O3) and aluminium layer as barriers to gas permeation using atomic layer deposition (ALD) and thermal evaporation technologies. Water, ethanol and FC-72 were used as heat transfer fluids at a filling ratio of 40−50%. The PHP performance was evaluated through the equivalent thermal resistance of the device, calculated from the surface temperatures of both the evaporator and the condenser during an ascending/descending stepped heat input ramp applied to the evaporator and through the visualisation of the two-phase flow. The experimental findings indicate that the heat transfer fluid is the major influencing parameter that affects the PHP thermal performance followed by the gravity and the number of turns. On the contrary, the conformation and configuration arrangements have no significant effect on the thermal performance.

description: In microrheology, the local rheological properties such as viscoelasticity of a complex fluid are inferred from the free or forced motion of embedded colloidal probe particles. Theoretical machinery developed for forced-probe microrheology of colloidal suspensions focused on either constant-force (CF) or constant-velocity (CV) probes while in experiments neither the force nor the kinematics of the probe is fixed. More importantly, the constraint of CF or CV introduces a difficulty in the meaningful quantification of the fluctuations of the probe due to a thermodynamic uncertainty relation. It is known that for a Brownian particle trapped in a harmonic potential well, the product of the standard deviations of the trap force and the particle position is $d k_BT$ in $d$ dimensions with $k_BT$ being the thermal energy. As a result, if the force (position) is not allowed to fluctuate, the position (force) fluctuation becomes infinite. To allow the measurement of fluctuations, in this work we consider a microrheology model in which the embedded probe is dragged along by a moving harmonic potential so that both its position and the trap force are allowed to fluctuate. Starting from the full Smoluchowski equation governing the dynamics of $N$ hard active Brownian particles, we derive a pair Smoluchowski equation describing the dynamics of the probe as it interacts with one bath particle by neglecting hydrodynamic interactions among particles in the dilute limit. From this, we determine the mean and the variance (i.e., fluctuation) of the probe position in terms of the pair probability distribution. We then characterize the behavior of the system in the limits of both weak and strong trap. By taking appropriate limits, we show that our generalized model can be reduced to the well-studied CF or CV microrheology models.

description: 4-dimensional spaces equipped with 2-dimensional (complex holomorphic or real smooth) completely integrable distributions are considered. The integral manifolds of such distributions are totally null and totally geodesics 2-dimensional surfaces which are called the null strings. Properties of congruences (foliations) of such 2-surfaces are studied. Some relations between properties of congruences of null strings, Petrov-Penrose type of SD Weyl spinor and algebraic types of the traceless Ricci tensor are analyzed.

Pair approximation for the q-voter model with independence on complex networks

description: We investigate the q-voter model with stochastic noise arising from independence on complex networks. Using the pair approximation, we provide a comprehensive, mathematical description of its behavior and derive a formula for the critical point. The analytical results are validated by carrying out Monte Carlo experiments. The pair approximation prediction exhibits substantial agreement with simulations, especially for networks with weak clustering and large average degree. Nonetheless, for the average degree close to q, some discrepancies originate. It is the first time we are aware of that the presented approach has been applied to the nonlinear voter dynamics with noise. Up till now, the analytical results have been obtained only for a complete graph. We show that in the limiting case the prediction of pair approximation coincides with the known solution on a fully connected network.

Genome structure and diversity in the perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) fungal endophyte Neotyphodium lolii

The prevalent fungal endophyte of Lolium perenne L., Neotyphodium lolii (Clavicipitaceae), protects the host grass against biotic and abiotic stresses. Enhanced resistance to herbivory is due to the production of fungal alkaloids, which are toxic to invertebrate and vertebrate animals. While peramine, ergot alkaloids and lolitrem alkaloids are the major classes of toxins produced by N. lolii, the alkaloid profile has been shown to differ between strains. The most common N. lolii strain found in association with L. perenne, Standard Toxic (ST), was subjected to genome sequencing. A reference N. lolii nuclear genome sequence was generated (strain ST), which consisted of 7,875 contigs (> 500 bp; N50, 7.2 kb) with a total size of 31.8 Mb. In addition, another five genetically distinct N. lolii strains with differing alkaloid profiles were selected and subjected to Genome Survey Sequencing to examine intraspecific genome sequence variation. Comparisons with genomic regions containing gene clusters involved in toxin production, demonstrated tagging of all the genes present within the regions. This analysis also demonstrated that gene loss could be a cause of some of the differences between toxin profiles among the different endophyte strains. Availability of the 31 Mb genome sequence of the sexual relative Epichloë festucae permitted analysis of genome wide differences in DNA content between N. lolii (ST) and E. festucae (E2368). In addition to the nuclear genome, the complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence (88 kb) was determined for each N. lolii strain and analysed by comparison to the highly compact mtDNA (25 kb) of the clavicipitaceous fungus Metarhizium anisopliae. This analysis revealed considerable conservation of mitochondrial gene order and content between both related organellar genomes, but a remarkable difference in intron content.

description: Video text spotting(VTS) is the task that requires simultaneously detecting, tracking and recognizing text in the video. Existing video text spotting methods typically develop sophisticated pipelines and multiple models, which is not friend for real-time applications. Here we propose a real-time end-to-end video text spotter with Contrastive Representation learning (CoText). Our contributions are three-fold: 1) CoText simultaneously address the three tasks (e.g., text detection, tracking, recognition) in a real-time end-to-end trainable framework. 2) With contrastive learning, CoText models long-range dependencies and learning temporal information across multiple frames. 3) A simple, lightweight architecture is designed for effective and accurate performance, including GPU-parallel detection post-processing, CTC-based recognition head with Masked RoI. Extensive experiments show the superiority of our method. Especially, CoText achieves an video text spotting IDF1 of 72.0% at 41.0 FPS on ICDAR2015video, with 10.5% and 32.0 FPS improvement the previous best method. The code can be found at github.com/weijiawu/CoText.

description: Minimum-Storage Regenerating (MSR) codes have emerged as a viable alternative to Reed-Solomon (RS) codes as they minimize the repair bandwidth while they are still optimal in terms of reliability and storage overhead. Although several MSR constructions exist, so far they have not been practically implemented mainly due to the big number of I/O operations. In this paper, we analyze high-rate MDS codes that are simultaneously optimized in terms of storage, reliability, I/O operations, and repair-bandwidth for single and multiple failures of the systematic nodes. The codes were recently introduced in \cite{7463553} without any specific name. Due to the resemblance between the hashtag sign \# and the procedure of the code construction, we call them in this paper \emph{HashTag Erasure Codes (HTECs)}. HTECs provide the lowest data-read and data-transfer, and thus the lowest repair time for an arbitrary sub-packetization level $α$, where $α\leq r^{\lceil \sfrac{k}{r} \rceil}$, among all existing MDS codes for distributed storage including MSR codes. The repair process is linear and highly parallel. Additionally, we show that HTECs are the first high-rate MDS codes that reduce the repair bandwidth for more than one failure. Practical implementations of HTECs in Hadoop release 3.0.0-alpha2 demonstrate their great potentials.
