description: A large proportion of clinical S. aureus isolates that carry an inactive Agr system are associated with persistent infection that is difficult to treat. Once S. aureus is inside the bloodstream, it can cross the endothelial barrier and invade almost every organ in the human body. Endothelial cells can either be lysed by this pathogen or they serve as a niche for its intracellular long-term survival. Following phagocytosis, several vesicles such as phagosomes and autophagosomes, target intracellular S. aureus for elimination. S. aureus can escape from these vesicles into the host cytoplasm through the activation of phenol-soluble modulins (PSMs) αβ. Thereafter, it replicates and lyses the host cell to disseminate to adjacent tissues. Herein we demonstrate that staphylococcal strains which lack the expression of PSMs employ an alternative pathway to better persist within endothelial cells. The intracellular survival of S. aureus is associated with the co-localization of the autophagy marker LC3. In cell culture infection models, we found that the absence of psmαβ decreased the host cell lysis and increased staphylococcal long-term survival. This study explains the positive selection of agr-negative strains that lack the expression of psmαβ in chronic infection due to their advantage in surviving and evading the clearance system of the host.

Piezoelectric coefficients of gallium arsenide, gallium nitride and aluminium nitride

description: The present work represents the first use of the interferometric technique for determining the magnitude and sign of the piezoelectric coefficients of III-V compound semiconductors, in particular gallium arsenide (GaAs), gallium nitride (GaN), and aluminium nitride (AIN). The interferometer arrangement used in the present work was a Michelson interferometer, with the capability of achieving a resolution of 10⁻¹³ m. -- The samples used were of two types. The first were commercial wafers, with single crystal orientation. Both GaAs and GaN were obtained in this form. The second type of sample was polycrystalline thin films, grown in the semiconductor research laboratories at Macquarie University. GaN and AIN samples of this type were obtained. -- The d₁₄ coefficient of GaAs was measured by first measuring the d₃₃ value of a [111] oriented sample. This was then transformed to give the d₁₄ coefficient of the usual [001] oriented crystal. The value obtained for d₁₄ was (-2.7 ± 0.1) pmV⁻¹. This compares well with the most recent reported measurements of -2.69 pmV⁻¹. The significance of the measurement is that this represents the first time this coefficient has been measured using the inverse piezoelectric effect. -- For AIN and GaN samples, the present work also represents the first time their piezoelectric coefficients have been measured by interferometry. For GaN, this work presents the first reported measurements of the piezoelectric coefficients, and some of these results have recently been published by the (Muensit and Guy, 1998). The d₃₃ and d₃₁ coefficients for GaN were found to be (3.4 ± 0.1) pmV⁻¹ and (-1.7 ± 0.1) pmV⁻¹ respectively. Since these values were measured on a single crystal wafer and have been corrected for substrate clamping, the values should be a good measure of the true piezoelectric coefficients for bulk GaN. -- For AIN, the d₃₃ and d₃₁ coefficients were found to be (5.1 ± 0.2) pmV⁻¹, and (-2.6 ± 0.1) pmV⁻¹ respectively. Since these figures are measured on a polycrystalline sample it is quite probable that the values for bulk AIN would be somewhat higher.

description: We propose a difference-in-differences approach for disentangling a total treatment effect within specific subpopulations into a direct effect as well as an indirect effect operating through a binary mediating variable. Random treatment assignment along with specific common trend and effect homogeneity assumptions identify the direct effects on the always and never takers, whose mediator is not affected by the treatment, as well as the direct and indirect effects on the compliers, whose mediator reacts to the treatment. In our empirical application we analyse the impact of the Vietnam draft lottery on political preferences. The results suggest that a high draft risk due to the draft lottery outcome leads to an increase in mild preferences for the Republican Party, but has no effect on strong preferences for either party or on specific political attitudes. The increase in Republican support is mostly driven by the direct effect not operating through the mediator that is military service.

description: Autonomous oscillators, such as clocks and lasers, produce periodic signals \emph{without} any external frequency reference. In order to sustain stable periodic motions, there needs to be external energy supply as well as nonlinearity built into the oscillator to regulate the amplitude. Usually, nonlinearity is provided by the sustaining feedback mechanism, which also supplies energy, whereas the constituent resonator that determines the output frequency stays linear. Here we propose a new self-sustaining scheme that relies on the nonlinearity originating from the resonator itself to limit the oscillation amplitude, while the feedback remains linear. We introduce a model to describe the working principle of the self-sustained oscillations and validate it with experiments performed on a nonlinear microelectromechanical (MEMS) based oscillator.

The hum of its parts: locating posthuman subjectivity, identity and agency through power and technology
Creators: name: Yap, Matthew
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis seeks to investigate two issues regarding posthumanism. Firstly, it examines how the posthuman subject's identity development is influenced by social forces, primarily Ideological State Apparatuses (ISAs).Posthuman technology offers numerous avenues for ISAs to insert and encode their ideologies into the posthuman subject, shaping the range and freedom of identities that posthumans can enjoy. Often, these subject positions are narrow and disempowered, driving posthumans to search for methods to disrupt the ISAs' power and ideologies over their identities. Therefore, the second aim of this thesis is to discuss the capacity for posthumans to redefine and reclaim their identities as their own through strategic acts of resignification which resist the limited subject positions the ISAs expect them to occupy. The two primary texts analyzed in this thesis are M.T. Anderson’s Feed and Debra Driza’s Mila 2.0. In both texts, posthuman technology is seemingly presented as having the capacity to enhance and elevate the posthuman experience. However, the ISAs that dominate technology actually use it to interpellate and control their posthuman subjects. Nevertheless, by resignifying their performances and their use of their technological abilities, the posthumans in both texts empower and liberate their identities by defying the ISAs’ power.

description: Exact quantitative understanding of plasmon propagation along nanowires is mandatory for designing and creating functional devices. Here we investigate plasmon transmission through top-down fabricated monocrystalline gold nanowires on a glass substrate. We show that the transmission through finite-length nanowires can be described by Fabry-Pérot oscillations that beat with free-space propagating light launched at the incoupling end. Using an extended Fabry-Pérot model, experimental and simulated length dependent transmission signals agree quantitatively with a fully analytical model.

description: Single trapped ion qubit is an excellent candidate for quantum computation and information, with additional ability to coherently couple to single photons. Efficient fluorescence collection is the most challenging part in remote entangled ion qubit state generation. To address this issue, we developed an ion trap combining a reflective parabolic surface with trap electrodes. This parabolic trap design covers a solid angle of 2pi steradians, and allows precise ion placement at the focal point of the parabola. We measured approximately 39% fluorescence collection from a single ion with this mirror, and analyzed the mirror optical performance. We observed single ion image spot size of about 3.4 times diffraction limit, improved to 2.8 times diffraction limit with the help of an external deformable mirror. The micromotion of ion is determined to be the limiting factor, and the result is consistent with theoretical calculation.

Land Economics/Use

description: Excerpts from the Introduction: Land uses are changing most obviously, if not most rapidly, in zones or areas in which urban uses are expanding onto former farm and forest lands and swallowing agrarian hamlets that lie in their path. Change often involves conflicts of interest and basic misunderstandings among groups and individuals. Society lives by laws, customs, and practices acceptable to the majority. Good decisions concerning desirable changes in the rules can be made only when individuals understand the problems, the range of possible solutions, and the consequences of their actions or inaction. This annotated bibliography was compiled as one of the early steps in an economic appraisal of impacts of urban growth on rural land use by the Farm Economics Research Division, Agricultural Research Service. Full cooperation was received from the Division of Bibliography, USDA Library. The bibliography was begun as a means of surveying the literature pertaining to land use changes in the so-called rural-urban fringe. However, it soon became evident that land is important only as people use it and that the real crux of the problem lies in human conflict over control and use of land.

description: In recent decades a great deal of experimental information about the microscopic dynamics of vortex tangles in superfluid helium has been obtained by observing the motion of micron-sized particles through helium. Yet, due to experimental limitations, these have only been performed at temperatures T above ~1.4 K, i.e. with a strong damping of the dynamics of vortex lines by their interaction (`mutual friction’) with the normal component. Our goal was to extend this type of experiment to temperatures below ~0.5 K where the effect of the normal component can be neglected, and the intrinsic dynamics of undamped vortex lines and their tangles take over.

The influence of intentional stance on the neural encoding of joint attention

description: Adopting an intentional stance towards a social partner is a crucial component of evaluating the success of joint attention, where social interlocuters must represent the mind and perspectives of others. Recent work has established that centroparietal P250 and P350 ERPs are sensitive to whether the gaze shifts of others signal the achievement or avoidance of joint attention, and that this modulation depends on the adoption of an intentional stance (Caruana & McArthur, 2019). The current study attempted to replicate these effects, determining their reliability across testing contexts, and examining the influence of the aesthetic anthropomorphism of the stimuli used. Participants initiated gaze-cued joint attention bids with an on-screen virtual partner, which shifted its eye gaze congruently to respond to joint attention bids on 50% of trials and responded incongruently to avoid joint attention on the remaining trials. Participants were told that in one block their partner was controlled by a human, and in another by a computer program. The aesthetic anthropomorphism of the faces was manipulated between-subjects so that one group interacted with an animated human face (n=21), and the other interacted with a humanoid robot face (n=19) . Larger P250 mean amplitudes were measured in response to congruent gaze shifts compared to incongruent, and the opposite pattern was observed for P350 responses. However, these ERPs were not reliably modulated by the adoption of an explicit intentional stance across both stimulus groups. We found tentative evidence to suggest that this unreliability may be explained by individual differences in anthropomorphism tendencies.

Effects of temperature on macromolecular composition of the Antarctic diatom, Corethron pennatum

description: Southern Ocean temperatures are rising due to climate change. Increasing temperature can alter diatom physiology and survival, subsequently affecting primary productivity and distributions. Diatoms are important primary producers and their composition mediates energy and nutrient transfer to higher trophic levels. Diatom physiology and macromolecular composition are useful indicators for demonstrating and modelling microalgal response to climate change. Using pulse amplitude modulated fluorometry and Attenuated Total Reflectance - Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, I characterised the physiological response and macromolecular composition of the Antarctic diatom, Corethron pennatum cultured at 0 °C to 5°C. The ATR-FTIR generated data were used to create spectroscopy-based predictive models. The photosynthetic capacity of C. pennatum decreased as temperatures increased, while all cultures eventually failed at 5 °C. As growth temperature increased, unsaturated fatty acid concentrations generally increased, and protein levels decreased slightly. Lipid levels were lowest at the coldest growth temperatures. These findings, particularly the unusual lipid unsaturation at the highest temperatures, show that C. pennatum physiology may differ from many diatoms. Additionally, the model demonstrated a high predictive power (R2 = 0.98), showing that macromolecular composition of C. pennatum is a useful intracellular marker that could be used to model microalgal response to climate change.

description: Purpose: Recent genome-wide association studies reported strong association of genetic variation at the CDKN2B/CDKN2B-AS1 locus on 9p21 with normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) in multiple populations. The mechanism by which this locus causes disease remains to be elucidated. We investigated the association of DNA methylation of CpG islands at this locus with NTG. Methods: We conducted a retrospective case–control study of 178 NTG cases and 202 unaffected controls from Australia. CDKN2B and CDKN2B-AS1 promoter methylation was measured quantitatively using the MassCleave assay, and assessed for association with the disease, and the genotype of the associated risk variants using IBM SPSS statistics 22.0 CpG sites at which methylation status was associated with NTG were validated using pyrosequencing. Results: We identified one CpG site (F1:13–14) in the CDKN2B promoter which showed significant association with NTG (p = 0.001). The association was highly significant in female cases (p = 0.006) but not in male cases (p = 0.054). The association was validated using an independent method confirming the likely association of DNA methylation with NTG in females (p = 0.015), but not in males (p = 0.497). In addition, methylation at CpG sites in CDKN2B was also associated with genotype at rs1063192, which is known to confer risk for NTG. Conclusion: This study reveals an association of methylation status in the CDKN2B promoter with NTG, particularly in females. This suggests that the observed genetic association with the disease at this locus could be in part due to epigenetic mechanisms, and is likely to be independent of the association of nonsynonymous coding variation within the gene.
Application of cognitive-behavioural approaches with children with autism spectrum disorder

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis by publication is focused on the application of cognitive-behavioural approaches (CBA) with children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), in particular, in school settings. ASD is a developmental disorder with a range of difficulties in the behaviour, emotion and cognitive functioning of the affected individual. CBA is considered an extension to traditional behavioural approaches with the benefits of addressing behaviour, emotion and cognition concurrently. Three review papers and two research studies are presented in this thesis. A trend-analysis was conducted for intervention studies examining 103 reports of CBA interventions for children with ASD providing an overview of the evolution of research over time. RCTs were examined using meta-analytic techniques, revealing large overall effect sizes. These findings from the meta-analysis were in the context of the moderate quality of the research studies, extensive reliance on informant reports as major outcome measures and substantial heterogeneity in the interventions. Given the diverse nature of interventions and outcome measures, a systematic literature review was conducted for intervention studies published to examine relationships between intervention aims, intervention content and outcome measures. Inconsistency was found between these intervention elements. A survey study and a qualitative interview study were conducted to investigate the application of CBA by teachers in school settings. Respondents in the teacher survey self-reported reasonable level of knowledge and frequent use of CBA strategies although applications were not necessarily consistent with research evidence. Meanwhile interviewees in the in-depth teacher interviews demonstrated limited knowledge of CBA. The papers reported in this thesis contribute to our understanding the application of CBA to children with ASD with particular relevance to school settings.

description: The academic social network site ResearchGate (RG) has its own indicator, RG Score, for its members. The high profile nature of the site means that the RG score may be used for recruitment, promotion and other tasks for which researchers are evaluated. In response, this study investigates whether it is reasonable to employ the RG Score as evidence of scholarly reputation. For this, three different author samples were investigated. An outlier sample includes 104 authors with high values. A Nobel sample comprises 73 Nobel winners from Medicine & Physiology, Chemistry, Physics and Economics (from 1975 to 2015). A longitudinal sample includes weekly data on 4 authors with different RG Scores. The results suggest that high RG Scores are built primarily from activity related to asking and answering questions in the site. In particular, it seems impossible to get a high RG Score solely through publications. Within RG it is possible to distinguish between (passive) academics that interact little in the site and active platform users, who can get high RG Scores through engaging with others inside the site (questions, answers, social networks with influential researchers). Thus, RG Scores should not be mistaken for academic reputation indicators.

description: Approximately one in every 800 live newborns worldwide is diagnosed with trisomy of chromosome 21 (T21), also known as Down syndrome (DS), which is the most prevalent chromosomal disorder associated with intellectual disability. Anatomical changes in the mid-facial region and upper airways may be related to respiratory dysfunctions and changes such as adenotonsillar hypertrophy, subglottic stenosis, mandibular hypoplasia, and laryngomalacia with obstruction of the upper airways, contributing to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Specifically about OSA, studies indicate that surgical treatment of the upper airways and conventional interventions, such as physiotherapy treatments, are part of the management of this condition in people with T21. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) recommends performing polysomnography or respiratory polygraphy to better investigate the hypothesis of OSA, and this indication is also part of the healthcare guidelines for people with T21. OSA leads to other complications, such as sleep disturbance, difficulty concentrating, learning deficits, high blood pressure, hypoxemia, and obesity. A preliminary search in the Cochrane Database, Prospero, and Open Science Framework did not identify any current or ongoing systematic reviews or scoping reviews on interventions for obstructive sleep apnea in children and adolescents with trisomy 21. Therefore, the objective of this scoping review is to identify and describe research evidence on physiotherapeutic interventions for children and adolescents with T21 and OSA. This review seeks to answer the question: “What are the interventions for obstructive sleep apnea in children and adolescents with T21?”. The search will be conducted in PubMed, CINHAL, WOS, and BVS databases.

description: Patient monitoring has become important in an aging society that has an increased reliance on medical care. This puts a burden on hospitals and staff that cannot be easily alleviated. In order to reduce menial tasks that need to be performed by medical staff, a wearable wireless patient monitoring device can be used. This device would track a patient's vital signs and wirelessly send data to a PC, where it can be monitored by staff. Different sensors are able to achieve this goal and are outlined, with advantages and disadvantages for each. However, the foundation for the proposed wireless patient monitoring device is the eZ430-Chronos, which is detailed in this document. The main aim of the document id to research the eZ430-Chronos and test its validity as a wireless patient monitoring device, in order to better understand what areas need to be improved upon for future designs. This aim is achieved by using several experiments to test the different sensors and how they are used in the eZ430-Chronos and then analysing the output of each. Only once the sensors have been analysed, can a judgement be made on the effectiveness of the eZ430-Chronos for use as a wireless patient monitoring device.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: The interplay of BCS superconductivity and nontrivial band topology is expected to give rise to opportunities for creating topological superconductors, achieved through pairing spin-filtered boundary modes via superconducting proximity effects. The thus-engineered topological superconductivity can, for example, facilitate the search for Majorana fermion quasiparticles in condensed matter systems. Here we report a first-principles study of Mg$_2$Pb and predict that it should be a superconducting topological material. The band topology of Mg$_2$Pb is identical to that of the archetypal quantum spin Hall insulator HgTe, while isostructural and isoelectronic Mg$_2$Sn is topologically trivial; a trivial to topological transition is predicted for Mg$_2$Sn$_{1-x}$Pb$_x$ for x~0.77. We propose that Mg$_2$Pb-Mg$_2$Sn quantum wells should generate robust spin-filtered edge currents in analogy to HgTe/CdTe quantum wells. In addition, our calculations predict that Mg$_2$Pb should become superconducting upon electron doping. Therefore, Mg$_2$Pb is expected to provide a practical material platform for studying emergent phenomena arising from the interplay of superconductivity and band topology.

description: Background: A considerable proportion of young adults are affected by psychological distress at any time and an important fraction of them may develop mental disorders. Use of novel approaches for the analysis of data from multiple psychological scales might facilitate the identification of key indicators of mental health. Aims: The aim of current study was to examine the relationship between multiple risk factors for mental illness, using a network analysis perspective. Methods: A sample of 334 young Colombian adults (mean age = 21.7) were evaluated with validated scales measuring several psychosocial factors previously associated with mental health (e.g. worry, sleep problems, suicidal ideation, childhood abuse, alcohol related-problems and personality traits). A total of 24 nodes were included in the network analysis and topology, centrality, and stability of the networks were studied. Results: Specific nodes that occupied critical positions in the network were identified, with worry, perceived distress and low energy being the most central nodes. Conclusions: Our explorative findings suggest that a network analysis might identify risk factors that have a central role in the multiple dimensions of emotional health in young adults. These novel analyses could have important applications for the understanding of the psychological functioning affecting mental health.

description: The electronic structure of a crystalline solid is largely determined by its lattice structure. Recent advances in van der Waals solids, artificial crystals with controlled stacking of two-dimensional (2D) atomic films, have enabled the creation of materials with novel electronic structures. In particular, stacking graphene on hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) introduces moiré superlattice that fundamentally modifies graphene's band structure and gives rise to secondary Dirac points (SDPs). Here we find that the formation of a moiré superlattice in graphene on hBN yields new, unexpected consequences: a set of tertiary Dirac points (TDPs) emerge, which give rise to additional sets of Landau levels when the sample is subjected to an external magnetic field. Our observations hint at the formation of a hidden Kekulé superstructure on top of the moiré superlattice under appropriate carrier doping and magnetic fields.
