Inside school design: the role of interior design in cultural change
Creators: name: Frith, Kellee
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Kellee’s research investigates how interior design is being used to shape new types of school spaces and places designed to promote collaborative, hands-on learning experiences for children and their teachers. Her thesis documents these new learning settings explaining how they work and providing instructions for how to make them. This will help school communities, especially teachers, understand how to exploit school interiors to support teaching practice. It will also help architects and designers working with school communities to develop more detailed design briefs for better functioning schools, which they will be able to evaluate more effectively using Kellee’s research methodology.

Marginal Fermi liquid resonance induced by a quantum magnetic impurity in d-wave superconductors

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: We consider a model of an Anderson impurity embedded in a dx2-y2-wave superconducting state to describe the low-energy excitations of cuprate superconductors doped with a small amount of magnetic impurities. Because of the Dirac-like energy dispersion, a sharp localized resonance above the Fermi energy, showing a marginal Fermi liquid behavior ( ωlnω as ω→0), is predicted for the impurity states. The same logarithmic dependence of self-energy and a linear frequency dependence of the relaxation rate are also derived for the conduction electrons, characterizing a new universality class for the strong coupling fixed point. At the resonant energies, the spatial distribution of the electron density of states around the magnetic impurity is also calculated.

On transformation to redundancy free XML schema from relational database schema

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: While XML is emerging as the universal format for publishing and exchanging data on the Web, most business data is still stored and maintained in relational database management systems. As a result, there is an increasing need to efficiently publish relational data as XML documents for Internet-based applications. One way to publish relational data is to provide virtual XML documents for relational data via an XML schema which is transformed from the underlying relational database schema, then users can access the relational database through the XML schema. In this paper, we discuss issues in transforming a relational database schema into corresponding schema in XML Schema. We aim to achieve high level of nesting while introducing no data redundancy for the transformed XML schema. In the paper, we first propose a basic transformation algorithm which introduces no data redundancy, then we improve the algorithm by exploring further nesting of the transformed XML schema.
ICT and the effectiveness of flexible provision of higher education in Australia

description: There is a widely held view in Australia and elsewhere, that the providers of higher education need to devise more flexible ways of reaching students (see for example The Web-Based Education Commission, 2000). This paper reports on an investigation of the effectiveness of models of flexible provision of higher education in Australia. The study grew out of a concern about the effectiveness of flexible provision initiatives in affording study choices to students, particularly those in non-metropolitan regions of Australia. The ten cases of flexible provision chosen for close investigation were ones that provide higher education programs for students in non-metropolitan regions of Australia. The research questions were framed as: Are differing models of flexible provision of higher education apparent in Australia? Are models identified effective in the provision of higher education? The latter question includes the concept of cost effectiveness. This paper focuses on those aspects of the study of flexible provision of higher education in Australia which relate to utilisation of information and communication technologies (ICT). The paper describes the methodology employed in the study, addresses current understandings of the issues involved, depicts the findings and summarises the conclusions and recommendations arising from the study.

description: A model biofilm, formed of multiple species from environmental drinking water, including opportunistic pathogens, was created to explore the tolerance of multi-species biofilms to chlorine levels typical of water-distribution systems. All species, when grown planktonically, were killed by concentrations of chlorine within the World Health Organization guidelines (0.2–5.0 mg l−1). Higher concentrations (1.6–40-fold) of chlorine were required to eradicate biofilm populations of these strains, ∼70% of biofilms tested were not eradicated by 5.0 mg l−1 chlorine. Pathogenic bacteria within the model multi-species biofilms had an even more substantial increase in chlorine tolerance; on average ∼700–1100 mg l−1 chlorine was required to eliminate pathogens from the biofilm, 50–300-fold higher than for biofilms comprising single species. Confocal laser scanning microscopy of biofilms showed distinct 3D structures and multiple cell morphologies and arrangements. Overall, this study showed a substantial increase in the chlorine tolerance of individual species with co-colonization in a multi-species biofilm that was far beyond that expected as a result of biofilm growth on its own.

description: A pH-sensitive ciprofloxacin prodrug was synthesized and targeted against biofilms of the periodontal pathogen Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa). The dose required to reduce the viability of a mature biofilm of Aa by ∼80% was in the range of ng cm−2 of colonized area (mean biofilm density 2.33 × 109 cells cm−2). A mathematical model was formulated that predicts the temporal change in the concentration of ciprofloxacin in the Aa biofilm as the drug is released and diffuses into the bulk medium. The predictions of the model were consistent with the extent of killing obtained. The results demonstrate the feasibility of the strategy to induce mortality, and together with the mathematical model, provide the basis for design of targeted antimicrobial prodrugs for the topical treatment of oral infections such as periodontitis. The targeted prodrug approach offers the possibility of optimizing the dose of available antimicrobials in order to kill a chosen pathogen while leaving the commensal microbiota relatively undisturbed.
Cryo-electron microscopy reveals the membrane insertion mechanism of V. cholerae hemolysin

description: Vibrio cholerae hemolysin (HlyA) is a 65 kDa pore-forming toxin which causes lysis of target eukaryotic cells by forming heptameric channels in the plasma membrane. Deletion of the 15 kDa C-terminus β-prism carbohydrate-binding domain generates a 50 kDa truncated variant (HlyA50) with 1000-fold-reduced pore-forming activity. Previously, we showed by cryo-electron microscopy that the two toxin oligomers have central channels, but the 65 kDa toxin oligomer is a seven-fold symmetric structure with bowl-, ring-, and arm-like domains, whereas the 50 kDa oligomer is an asymmetric jar-like heptamer. In the present study, we determined three-dimensional(3D) structures of HlyA and HlyA50 in presence of erythrocyte stroma and observed that interaction of the 65 kDa toxin with the stroma induced a significant decrease in the height of the β-barrel oligomer with a change in conformation of the ring- and arm-like domains of HlyA. These features were absent in interaction of HlyA50 with stroma. We propose that this conformational transition is critical for membrane-insertion of the toxin.

description: Serpentine areas, including those in Bulgaria, are rich in endemic taxa, and still remain to be investigated phytocoenologically. We analyse the vegetation types in various sites and compare them with those in other Balkan countries. The main objectives were (1) to explore and describe the relationships between the vegetation in the serpentine areas investigated in Bulgaria with those in the Balkan Peninsula and (2) to explore and classify the diversity of vegetation in grasslands on serpentine rocks in eastern Rhodope, Bulgaria. The classic methodology of the Braun-Blanquet school was applied to the exploration of the vegetation. Average linkage method (unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean) and principal coordinate analysis were used to evaluate floristic and synoptic similarities. As a result, the new endemic association Onosmo pavlovae-Festucetum dalmaticae was proposed. This association can be included in the alliance Alyssion heldreichii Bergmeier et al. 2009, newly described on serpentine rocks in northern Greece. Our data confirmed the existence of similar or vicariant endemic syntaxa (associations) on isolated serpentine terrains in northern Greece and south-eastern Bulgaria.

description: There is a fortuitous coincidence in the positions of the quasar Ton S210 and the compact H I high-velocity cloud CHVC 224.0-83.4-197 on the sky. Using Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer observations of the metal line absorption in this cloud and sensitive H I 21 cm emission observations obtained with the multibeam system at Parkes Observatory, we determine a metallicity of (O/H)<0.46 solar at a confidence of 3 sigma. The metallicity of the high-velocity gas is consistent with either an extragalactic or Magellanic Cloud origin but is not consistent with a location inside the Milky Way unless the chemical history of the gas is considerably different from that of the interstellar medium in the Galactic disk and halo. Combined with measurements of highly ionized species (C III and O VI) at high velocities, this metallicity limit indicates that the cloud has a substantial halo of ionized gas; there is as much ionized gas as neutral gas directly along the Ton S210 sight line. We suggest several observational tests that would improve the metallicity determination substantially and help to distinguish between possible origins for the high-velocity gas. Additional observations of this sight line would be valuable, since the number of compact HVCs positioned in front of background sources bright enough for high-resolution absorption-line studies is extremely limited.

description: Despite recent advances in transgender rights in European countries, some legal systems still have barriers such as obligatory diagnosis, sterilization, and medical interventions and incorporating societal acceptance and public order into their discourse. This study dealing with the regime of legal gender recognition in Turkey first reveals critical reciprocating historical developments in national legal regulations for affirming trans identities. Then, the recent conditions laid down by the 2017 Constitutional Court judgments stating that transgender people do not require permanent sterilization any more but require sex reassignment surgery for legal gender change are evaluated. Moreover, this paper explains that while the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights partly reflects the current Turkish legislation, it is not a big step for transgender rights. The findings also underline that the new Turkish regulations appear reformist but are indeed strong measures for legal consistency to solve the dilemma in the previous period in order to maintain the status quo.

description: We investigate the mode-switching dynamics of an electrically driven bimodal quantum-dot micropillar laser when subject to delayed coherent optical feedback from a short external cavity. We experimentally characterize how the external cavity length, being on the same order than the microlaser’s coherence length, influences the spectral and dynamical properties of the micropillar laser. Moreover, we determine the relaxation oscillation frequency of the micropillar by superimposing optical pulse injection to a dc current. It is found that the optical pulse can be used to disturb the feedback-coupled laser within one roundtrip time in such a way that it reaches the same output power as if no feedback was present. Our results do not only expand the understanding of microlasers when subject to optical feedback from short external cavities, but pave the way towards tailoring the properties of this key nanophotonic system for studies in the quantum regime of self-feedback and its implementation to integrated photonic circuits.

This article argues the offences’ broad scope and the unpredictability of the ‘reasonable prevention procedures’ defence means that rather than operating as a deterrent, the provisions effectively assign guilt by lottery, impose fines that become just another cost of doing business, and punish British companies for doing business in the developing world where their investment is most needed.

description: Hybrid interfaces between distinct quantum systems play a major role in the implementation of quantum networks. Quantum states have to be stored in memories to synchronize the photon arrival times for entanglement swapping by projective measurements in quantum repeaters or for entanglement purification. Here, we analyze the distortion of a single-photon wave packet propagating through a dispersive and absorptive medium with high spectral resolution. Single photons are generated from a single In(Ga)As quantum dot with its excitonic transition precisely set relative to the Cesium D1 transition. The delay of spectral components of the single-photon wave packet with almost Fourier-limited width is investigated in detail with a 200 MHz narrow-band monolithic Fabry-Pérot resonator. Reflecting the excited state hyperfine structure of Cesium, “slow light” and “fast light” behavior is observed. As a step towards room-temperature alkali vapor memories, quantum dot photons are delayed for 5 ns by strong dispersion between the two 1.17 GHz hyperfine-split excited state transitions. Based on optical pumping on the hyperfine-split ground states, we propose a simple, all-optically controllable delay for synchronization of heralded narrow-band photons in a quantum network.

The effect of attittudes and experience on respondent answers to demographic questions in on-line surveys

name: McQuilken, Lisa
name: Katakis, Olga
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Survey response rates and response quality are declining in most markets, threatening the viability of many established research techniques. One attempt to combat this has been to make survey completion more convenient for respondents, with on-line surveys being an example of this. This paper looks at respondent attitudes to demographic questions in on-line surveys -- questions that are crucial for many analysis practices and yet often have the highest non-completion rates. The exploratory survey conducted here (n=198) examined attitudes towards surveys and empirically examined the reasons behind non-completion and intentions to give misleading information. The results suggest that general attitudes towards providing demographic data in on-line surveys are related to the likely response behaviour, and the more uncomfortable someone claims to be with providing this data, the more likely they will be to either omit a response or exit the survey altogether. Past experience with on-line surveys increases the chances of respondents answering completely and accurately and in most cases, significantly reduces the likelihood of exiting the survey completely if asked these questions. Finally, there is some evidence that providing broad categorical response options is preferred to more specific categories or open text boxes, and this may represent the best technique for improving response rates and quality.
Asymptotic behavior of the number of lost messages
Creators: name: Abramov, Vyacheslav M.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The goal of the paper is to study asymptotic behavior of the number of lost messages. Long messages are assumed to be divided into a random number of packets which are transmitted independently of one another. An error in transmission of a packet results in the loss of the entire message. Messages arrive to the M/GI/1 finite buffer model and can be lost in two cases as either at least one of its packets is corrupted or the buffer is overflowed. With the parameters of the system typical for models of information transmission in real networks, we obtain theorems on asymptotic behavior of the number of lost messages. We also study how the loss probability changes if redundant packets are added. Our asymptotic analysis approach is based on Tauberian theorems with remainder.

description: Although living in social groups provides many benefits for group members, such groups also serve as a setting for social competition over rank and influence. Evolutionary accounts suggest that social anxiety plays a role in regulating in-group conflict, as individuals who are concerned about social threat may choose to defer to others to maintain the hierarchical status quo. Here, we examine how social anxiety levels are related to the advice-giving style an individual adopts: a competitive influence-seeking strategy or a defensive blend-in strategy. We begin by demonstrating that similarity to others drives activity in the brain's valuation system, even during a competitive advice-taking task. Then, in three behavioural experiments, we show that social anxiety levels are related to the tendency to give advice resembling the advice given by rival advisers and to refrain from status-seeking behaviour. Social anxiety was also associated with negative social comparisons with rival advisers. Our findings highlight the role of competing social goals in shaping information sharing.

description: We investigate the design of a miniaturized C-band photonic-crystal waveguide (PCW) interleaver, employing coupled-resonator optical waveguide (CROW) ring resonators. An optimization approach based on a genetic algorithm (GA) has been applied to the filter components, such as tapers and directional couplers, leading to low reflection and high phase linearity. To evaluate the interleaver transmittivity function, an S-matrix approach is worked out, based on the optimized building blocks. A sensitivity analysis is performed to evaluate the effect of parameter tolerances.

description: Werbeblocker berühren zahlreiche, bislang ungeklärte Rechtsfragen. Während Werbeblocker bisher vor allem anhand des Lauterkeitsrechts beurteilt worden sind, zeigt diese Arbeit, dass vielmehr urheberrechtliche Wertungen entscheidend sind. Diese werden mit Blick auf die aktuelle Rechtsprechung des EuGH ausführlich hergeleitet. Weiterhin wird der Begriff des Mitbewerbers im Lauterkeitsrecht fortentwickelt und mit der Bezugnahme auf die geschäftlichen Entscheidung auf ein neues Fundament gestellt. Die Arbeit analysiert zudem umfassend die Rechtmäßigkeit der Handlungsalternativen der Webseitenbetreiber und der Reaktionsmöglichkeiten der Werbeblocker aus lauterkeitsrechtlicher und urheberrechtlicher Sicht unter Berücksichtigung der DS GVO.

description: Seit langem wird über die staatliche (Regulierungs-)Verantwortung u.a. hinsichtlich sozialer Netzwerkalgorithmen diskutiert. Doch was, wenn die Netzwerke zur politischen Agitation durch Dritte ausgenutzt werden, indem zahlreiche (teil-)automatisierte Nutzeraccounts die Informationsdiffusion und Kommunikation zu beeinflussen versuchen? Ist dann auch hier der Staat als Garant der politischen Willensbildung gefordert? Das Werk versucht diese vor allem verfassungsrechtlich geprägte Frage unter Berücksichtigung sozialpsychologischer und kommunikationswissenschaftlicher Grundlagen und mit Hilfe grundrechtlicher Schutzpflichten zu beantworten. Es leitet aus den kommunikationsgrundrechtlichen Schutzgütern eine entsprechende abstrakte Verantwortung her und überprüft, ob der Staat – insbesondere mit dem Medienstaatsvertrag – dieser Verantwortung in (verfassungsrechtlich) überzeugender Weise nachkommt.

description: Datenzugangsrechte sind nach geltendem Recht nur unter engen Voraussetzungen gegeben. Mit der steigenden Verbreitung „datenhungriger“ KI-Systeme gehen Forderungen nach Datenteilungspflichten in weiteren Konstellationen einher und richten sich insbesondere gegen Unternehmen der Digitalwirtschaft. Diese Untersuchung hinterfragt, ob es zur Förderung von Innovationsmöglichkeiten und -anreizen ratsam wäre, den Zugang zu exklusiven Daten aus der Privatwirtschaft für das Training selbstlernender Systeme zu eröffnen. Es wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob Korrekturen im Einzelfall oder sektorspezifische Reaktionen eine bessere Lösung sind. Zu diesem Zweck werden Änderungsvorschläge aus Politik und Wissenschaft untersucht und eigene Ansätze entwickelt.

description: We consider an important performance measure of wireless sensor networks, namely, the least number of nodes, N, required to facilitate routing between any pair of nodes, allowing other nodes to remain in sleep mode in order to conserve energy. We derive the expected value and the distribution of N for single dimensional dense networks.
Radial gradients in elliptical galaxies

description: The aim of this Thesis is to provide a contribution to the decades-long debate regarding the formation and evolution of early-type galaxies. Our approach to this open problem is to investigate the combined kinematic, photometric, and stellar population properties at large galactocentric radii for a sample of early-type galaxies. The galactocentric radial distribution of these properties is a chemodynamical imprint of the many physical mechanisms acting in galaxies, and provides us with strong constraints on competing galaxy formation scenarios. Initially we the derive the star formation and chemical enrichment history of two massive early-type galaxies. Our analysis is based on new high signal-to-noise long-slit spectroscopic data obtained from the ESO 3.6m telescope, and high-resolution multiband imaging data from the Hubble Space Telescope and wide-field imaging from the Subaru telescope. We derive stellar population radial profiles of age, metallicity [Z/H], and α-element abundance ratio [α/Fe] out to more than one effective radius, together with surface brightness profiles and isophotal shape parameters. The results suggest that the galaxies formed over half of their mass in a single short-lived burst of star formation at high redshift and evolved quiescently afterwards. This event likely involved an outside-in mechanism with supernova-driven galactic winds playing a fundamental role in shaping the observed steep negative radial metallicity gradients. A similar study is performed out to ~ 1 − 3 effective radii for a sample of 14 lowluminosity, low-mass early-type galaxies in the Fornax and Virgo clusters. We use new high-quality long-slit spectroscopic data obtained from the Gemini telescope and multiband imaging data from the Hubble Space Telescope. A gradual gas dissipation is suggested to be responsible for the old and extended stellar discs present in these galaxies. We extend our study to higher galaxy mass via a novel literature compilation of 37 early-type galaxies, which provides stellar population properties out to one effective radius. We find that metallicity gradients correlate with galactic mass, and the relationship shows a sharp change in slope at a dynamical mass of ~ 3.5 × 1010M⊙. We conclude that low-luminosity, low-mass galaxies likely formed in an early starforming collapse with extended, low efficiency star formation, and mass-dependent galactic outflows of metal-enriched gas. Luminous, high-mass galaxies might have formed initially by mergers of gas-rich disc galaxies and then subsequently evolved via dry merger events.

description: The AMBER family of force fields is one of the most commonly used alternatives to describe proteins and drug-like molecules in molecular dynamics simulations. However, the absence of a specific set of parameters for lipids has been limiting the widespread application of this force field in biomembrane simulations, including membrane protein simulations and drug-membrane simulations. Here, we report the systematic parameterization of 12 common lipid types consistent with the General Amber Force Field (GAFF), with charge-parameters determined with RESP at the HF/6–31G(d) level of theory, to be consistent with AMBER. The accuracy of the scheme was evaluated by comparing predicted and experimental values for structural lipid properties in MD simulations in an NPT ensemble with explicit solvent in 100:100 bilayer systems. Globally, a consistent agreement with experimental reference data on membrane structures was achieved for some lipid types when using the typical MD conditions normally employed when handling membrane proteins and drug-membrane simulations (a tensionless NPT ensemble, 310 K), without the application of any of the constraints often used in other biomembrane simulations (such as the surface tension and the total simulation box area). The present set of parameters and the universal approach used in the parameterization of all the lipid types described here, as well as the consistency with the AMBER force field family, together with the tensionless NPT ensemble used, opens the door to systematic studies combining lipid components with small drug-like molecules or membrane proteins and show the potential of GAFF in dealing with biomembranes.

description: A recent paper on Transforming Australia’s Higher Education System identifies a number of significant reforms for the sector including the establishment of a Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA). The paper also foreshadows the development of competency based standards for universities for all degree awards in Australia. TEQSA will then be responsible for checking compliance with such standards in a similar fashion to the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) accreditation panel. An article in The Australian Financial Review reported that accounting will be the first discipline to set minimum standards as required by the new Australian Qualifications Framework regime as “Standards set for accounting” Accounting was chosen because we have a very strong level of engagement with both the profession and industry in relaion to the discipline.” (Lebihan 2010, p34) While minimum academic standards for an accounting degree will address appropriate technical skills there is no doubt that given widespread publicity about concerns with communication skills and accounting graduates (Birrell, 2006a, 2006b) the standards will also include non-technical skills. Indeed on February 8, 2010 the federal government announced that it was cancelling the Migration Occupations in Demand List due in part to the inability of migrants to gain employment in the occupation for which they were trained due to poor English skills. Accounting has been on the list since September 2004 and is part of the reason for the explosion in numbers of international students choosing to study accounting in Australia. [Introduction]
