description: We study the robustness of quantum error correction in a one-parameter ensemble of codes generated by the Brownian SYK model, where the parameter quantifies the encoding complexity. The robustness of error correction by a quantum code is upper bounded by the "mutual purity" of a certain entangled state between the code subspace and environment in the isometric extension of the error channel, where the mutual purity of a density matrix $ρ_{AB}$ is the difference $\mathcal{F}_ρ(A:B) \equiv \mathrm{Tr}\;ρ_{AB}^2 - \mathrm{Tr}\;ρ_A^2\;\mathrm{Tr}\;ρ_B^2$. We show that when the encoding complexity is small, the mutual purity is $O(1)$ for the erasure of a small number of qubits (i.e., the encoding is fragile). However, this quantity decays exponentially, becoming $O(1/N)$ for $O(\log N)$ encoding complexity. Further, at polynomial encoding complexity, the mutual purity saturates to a plateau of $O(e^{-N})$. We also find a hierarchy of complexity scales associated to a tower of subleading contributions to the mutual purity that quantitatively, but not qualitatively, adjust our error correction bound as encoding complexity increases. In the AdS/CFT context, our results suggest that any portion of the entanglement wedge of a general boundary subregion $A$ with sufficiently high encoding complexity is robustly protected against low-rank errors acting on $A$ with no prior access to the encoding map. From the bulk point of view, we expect such bulk degrees of freedom to be causally inaccessible from the region $A$ despite being encoded in it.

description: Based on the equations of state, one can infer the underlying interaction potentials among the black hole molecules in the case of Schwarzschild-AdS and charged AdS black holes. The microscopic molecules with the interaction potential arrange in a specific way to form the mesostructure, whose size is between the macro (black hole system) and the micro (black hole molecules). As a result, the mesostructure leads to the emergence of the macroscopic phase. However, the information about the mesostructure of the AdS black hole are still elusive. In this Letter, the radial distribution function is introduced to probe the mesostructure of the AdS black hole. We find that the mesostructure of the Schwarzschild-AdS black hole behaves as the ideal gas when the temperature is high. Furthermore, we find the mesostructure for the liquid-like (gas-like) phase of the small (large) charged AdS black hole. A sudden change of the mesostructure emerges from the liquid-like phase to the gas-like phase when the charged AdS black hole undergoes a phase transition from the small to large black hole, consistent with the viewpoint that the phase transition of the charged AdS black hole is reminiscent of that of the vdW fluid. This study provides a new angle towards understanding the black hole from its mesostructure.
$γ$ Doradus Pulsations in the Eclipsing Binary Star KIC 6048106

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

description: We present the ${\it Kepler}$ photometry of KIC 6048106 exhibiting O'Connell effect and multiperiodic pulsations. Including a starspot on either of the components, light-curve synthesis indicates that this system is a semi-detached Algol with a mass ratio of 0.211, an orbital inclination of 73.9 deg, and a large temperature difference of 2,534 K. To examine in detail both spot variations and pulsations, we separately analyzed the {\it Kepler} time-series data at the interval of an orbital period by an iterative way. The results reveal that the variable asymmetries of the light maxima can be interpreted as the changes of a magnetic cool spot on the secondary component with time. Multiple frequency analyses were performed in the outside-eclipse light residuals after removal of the binarity effects from the observed {\it Kepler} data. We detected 30 frequencies with signal to noise amplitude ratios larger than 4.0, of which six ($f_2$--$f_6$ and $f_{10}$) can be identified as high-order (17 $\le n \le$ 25) low-degree ($\ell$ = 2) gravity-mode pulsations that were stable during the observing run of 200 d. In contrast, the other frequencies may be harmonic and combination terms. For the six frequencies, the pulsation periods and pulsation constants are in the ranges of 0.352$-$0.506 d and 0.232$-$0.333 d, respectively. These values and the position on the HR diagram demonstrate that the primary star is a $γ$ Dor variable. The evolutionary status and the pulsation nature of KIC 6048106 are discussed.

Non-English speaking nurses moving towards contextual competence in Victoria

Publisher: name: La Trobe

description: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to obtain an in-depth understanding of the perceptions of overseas-qualified nurses from non-English speaking backgrounds (NESB) in relation to their educational and socialisation experience whilst enrolled in a Competency Based Assessment Program (CBAP). The study was conducted using a modified grounded theory approach. There were a total of seventeen participants; fourteen NESB nurses, and three teachers who were directly involved with their education in the CBAP. The NESB nurses who participated fell into three main groups in terms of their previous professional experience. These were: Specialist; Experienced generalist; Inexperienced generalist. However, the level of skill and experience that the nurses brought to the educational and practice encounter made no difference to their experience of prejudice and lack of support, particularly in the clinical environment. The education and clinical experience they received challenged feelings of competency as much as they expanded feelings of competency. The NESB nurses' experiences of diversity also challenged their feelings of competence. In addition, the level of previous experience did not reduce the concern expressed by NESB nurses regarding the possibility of finding appropriate employment following registration. The implications of this for the profession and the health care system are that even the most experienced specialist and generalist nurses are not having their level of skill appropriately recognised and utilised in a timely way despite the current shortage of generalist and specialist nurses in Victoria. The outcome of the study led to the development of a model that has the potential to lead to a culture change in the clinical environment with a view to improving educational opportunities and experiences for NESB nurses who are enrolled in CBAP. In addition, the model has the potential to be useful in terms of providing local nurses with an opportunity to express their own thoughts and ideas in relation to the education of NESB nurses in the clinical environment. The model is based upon the theoretical perspectives of "productive diversity" and "clinical governance and organisational learning".

description: Virtual Synchronous Generator (VSG) has been developed in the past few decades to address the problem of transient dynamics, i.e. primary control, virtual inertia. Many researchers use DC voltage sources or neglect MPPT controller in VSG studies. It leaves a research gap whereas the DC voltage source is an infinite source where in solar PV system, the power is limited and affected by MPPT controller. This paper investigates the VSG implementation in single-stage solar energy conversion system (SECS) interconnected to an aggregated weak grid condition. This paper presents a feasible way to implement VSG in a practical application without compromising MPPT performance.
Photometric determination of the mass accretion rates of pre-main sequence stars. VII. The low-density cluster NGC 376 in the Small Magellanic Cloud

description: Aims. We study the properties of low-mass stars recently formed in the field of the NGC 376 cluster in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Methods. Using photometric observations acquired with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in the V, I and Halpha bands, we identify 244 candidate pre-main sequence (PMS) stars showing Halpha excess emission at the 5 sigma level and with Halpha equivalent width of 20 Å or more. We derive physical parameters for all PMS stars, including masses, ages, and mass accretion rates. We compare the effective mass accretion rate of stars in NGC 376 to that of objects in the NGC 346 cluster, which features similar metallicity but higher total mass and gas density. Results. We find a median age of 28 Myr for this population (with 25 and 75 percentiles at about 20 and 40 Myr, respectively), in excellent agreement with previous studies of massive stars in the same field. The PMS stars are rather uniformly distributed across the field, whereas massive stars are more clustered. The spatial distribution of PMS objects is compatible with them having formed in the centre of the cluster and then migrated outwards. We find that in NGC 376 the mass accretion rate is systematically lower than in NGC 346 for stars of the same mass and age. This indicates that, besides metallicity, there are other environmental factors affecting the rate of mass accretion onto PMS stars. Our observations suggest that the gas density in the star-forming region might play a role.

Self-determination constructs as predictors of higher education aspirations and expectations: a cross sectional study of secondary school children
Creators: name: Pomford, Lisa
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020
Subjects: education, motivation, self-determination theory, widening participation

description: Abstract—Key concepts in self-determination theory, such as motivation regulation and goal contents, have a well-established research base in an educational context. A higher degree of autonomy in motivation regulation, and pursuit of intrinsic goals such as personal development, appear to be associated with a range of positive educational outcomes such as persistence in education and enjoyment of academic work, though much research in this area is classroom based. This study aimed to examine if such associations are apparent in attitude and behavioural intentions towards post- school level education. A cross-sectional survey (n=687) of UK secondary school children assessed students’ academic self-regulation, goal contents, and aspirations towards and expectations of university attendance. Preliminary results indicate associations between a more autonomous motivation regulation and greater intrinsic goal setting with aspirations and expectations of higher education. Structural equation mediation modelling indicated a small but significant indirect effect in the model. This study forms part of a project to investigate if motivation regulation and goal contents might be useful targets for university widening participation programs. University attendance in the UK is above 50%, but a socio-economic divide remains despite attendance increases among lower socio-economic groups. Focused targeting of motivation regulation and goal setting behaviours within these interventions may be helpful in addressing this persistent gap.

description: In order to carry out research in the field of possible existence of a sterile neutrino the laboratory based on SM-3 reactor (Dimitrovgrad, Russia) was created to search for oscillations of reactor antineutrino. The prototype of a multi-section neutrino detector with liquid scintillator volume of 350 l was installed in the middle of 2015. It is a moveable inside the passive shielding detector, which can be set at distance range from 6 to 11 meters from the reactor core. Measurements of antineutrino flux at such short distances from the reactor core are carried out with moveable detector for the first time. The measurements with full-scale detector with liquid scintillator volume of 3 m^3 (5x10 sections) was started only in June, 2016. The today available data is presented in the article.

description: Multi-objective reinforcement learning (MORL) algorithms tackle sequential decision problems where agents may have different preferences over (possibly conflicting) reward functions. Such algorithms often learn a set of policies (each optimized for a particular agent preference) that can later be used to solve problems with novel preferences. We introduce a novel algorithm that uses Generalized Policy Improvement (GPI) to define principled, formally-derived prioritization schemes that improve sample-efficient learning. They implement active-learning strategies by which the agent can (i) identify the most promising preferences/objectives to train on at each moment, to more rapidly solve a given MORL problem; and (ii) identify which previous experiences are most relevant when learning a policy for a particular agent preference, via a novel Dyna-style MORL method. We prove our algorithm is guaranteed to always converge to an optimal solution in a finite number of steps, or an $ε$-optimal solution (for a bounded $ε$) if the agent is limited and can only identify possibly sub-optimal policies. We also prove that our method monotonically improves the quality of its partial solutions while learning. Finally, we introduce a bound that characterizes the maximum utility loss (with respect to the optimal solution) incurred by the partial solutions computed by our method throughout learning. We empirically show that our method outperforms state-of-the-art MORL algorithms in challenging multi-objective tasks, both with discrete and continuous state and action spaces.

description: Bi-isotropic media constitute a proper scenario for scrutinizing optical effects stemming from magnetoelectric parameters. Chiral magnetic current is a macroscopic effect arising from the chiral magnetic effect that enriches the phenomenology of a classical dielectric medium. This work examines optical aspects of bi-isotropic media in the presence of magnetic conductivity. The full isotropic scenario manifests circular birefringence described by a dispersive rotatory power that changes sign at a given frequency. For a bi-isotropic medium with antisymmetric magnetic conductivity, an intricate dispersive rotatory power is attained, supplied with sign reversal as well. This scenario also indicates a handedness reversion of the medium, an unusual property in dielectrics, which may work as a signature of bi-isotropic media supporting chiral magnetic current.

description: We present a method to estimate the probabilities of outcomes of a quantum observable, its mean value, and higher moments by measuring any other observable. This method is general and can be applied to any quantum system. In the case of estimating the mean energy of an isolated system, the estimate can be further improved by measuring the other observable at different times. Intuitively, this method uses interplay and correlations between the measured observable, the estimated observable, and the state of the system. We provide two bounds: one that is looser but analytically computable and one that is tighter but requires solving a non-convex optimization problem. The method can be used to estimate expectation values and related quantities such as temperature and work in setups where performing measurements in a highly entangled basis is difficult, finding use in state-of-the-art quantum simulators. As a demonstration, we show that in Heisenberg and Ising models of ten sites in the localized phase, performing two-qubit measurements excludes 97.5% and 96.7% of the possible range of energies, respectively, when estimating the ground state energy.

description: Game theory is a well established branch of mathematics whose formalism has a vast range of applications from the social sciences, biology, to economics. Motivated by quantum information science, there has been a leap in the formulation of novel game strategies that lead to new (quantum Nash) equilibrium points whereby players in some classical games are always outperformed if sharing and processing joint information ruled by the laws of quantum physics is allowed. We show that, for a bipartite non zero-sum game, input local quantum correlations, and separable states in particular, suffice to achieve an advantage over any strategy that uses classical resources, thus dispensing with quantum nonlocality, entanglement, or even discord between the players' input states. This highlights the remarkable key role played by pure quantum coherence at powering some protocols. Finally, we propose an experiment that uses separable states and basic photon interferometry to demonstrate the locally-correlated quantum advantage.

description: The main factors contributing to railway degradation are wear and rolling contact fatigue. To maintain the high standards of rail network operation and the safety of these vital infrastructure, it is essential to develop advanced and efficient maintenance strategies for these high-wearing components. In this thesis, solid lubrication and laser cladding, two state-of-the-art wear prevention and surface engineering techniques, have been systematically investigated using different rail grades. Both techniques were found to successfully alleviate degradation rates, improve tribological and mechanical properties, enhance the structural integrity, and extend the components’ longevity. This makes laser cladding and solid lubrication viable maintenance strategies for the railway industry, which can also be extended to high-wearing components in multitude of other industries.

description: This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on Physics and Computation (PC 2016). The workshop was held on the 14th of July 2016 in Manchester, UK, as a satellite workshop to UCNC 2016, the 15th International Conference on Unconventional Computation and Natural Computation. The goal of the workshop series is to bring together researches working on the interaction between physics and the theory of computation. This intrinsically interdisciplinary domain of research strives to go beyond the traditional use of mathematics as a tool to model and understand the behaviour of physical systems. Instead, it looks to the the theory of computation and information to provide new insights into physical systems and processes, and, in turn, how these insights can lead to new methods, models and notation of computation and new approaches to computational and mathematical problems. Topics falling into this category at the interface of physics and computation that are within the scope of the conference include, amongst many others, the axiomatisation of physics, hypercomputation, the role of information in physical systems, quantum information, randomness in physics, theories of measurement, and the philosophy of physics and computation.

description: This paper is devoted to the analysis of the divergence of the electron self-energy in classical electrodynamics. To do so, we appeal to the theory of distributions and a method for obtaining corresponding extensions. At first sight, electrostatics implies a divergence once we treat the electron as a charged point particle. However, our construction shows that its self-energy turns out to be an undetermined constant upon renormalization. Appealing to empirical results we may fix its value, demanding, for example, that all its mass comes from an electrostatic origin.

Occupant Comfort Versus Building Energy Performance: Generalisable Artificial Intelligence Frameworks for Optimum Trade-offs
Creators: name: ALSHARIF, RASHED ALI N
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Building information modelling and management

description: Achieving the optimum balance between occupant comfort and energy efficiency in buildings is a complicated process. This is due to the unique function, location, and design of each building. In addition, comfort and energy efficiency are contradicting objectives in most cases that makes trade-offs inevitable. Despite recent advancements in the modelling and simulation of buildings performance, there is an opportunity for exploiting advancements in the artificial intelligence domain to develop accurate and swift frameworks that achieve optimum trade-offs between occupant comfort and energy efficiency. Therefore, this thesis aims to develop modern-generalisable frameworks that assess and optimise buildings for improved occupant comfort and building energy performance levels.
Case studies of overseas Kenyan students at La Trobe University, Australia: academic and related challenges
Creators: name: Kole, John K. T.
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Abstract: This study involves an exploration of the perceptions of four overseas Kenyan students about their educational experiences at La Trobe University. A related aim of this research is to find out how these four students previous learning in Kenya affects their learning and living experiences in Australia, for instance, in terms of demands associated with differences in learning and teaching styles, cultural expectations and proficiencies in English. A non-positivist, qualitative methodology is adopted for this research which employs an interview-based case study approach. Qualitative research demands that the world be approached with the assumption that nothing is trivial and that everything has the potential of being a clue which might unlock more comprehensive understanding of what is being researched. While the findings of this study confirm current understandings of the issues that international students commonly face, they also provide a more complex and individualized picture of the needs and aspirations of overseas Kenyan students. As the case studies demonstrate, the academic and related challenges four Kenyan students have encountered at La Trobe University are best understood in relation to several contexts. The difficulties these international students have experienced in the context of transition or border crossing - between two countries, cultures and educational systems - were exacerbated by inadequate pre-departure preparation and orientation on arrival.Incongruities between two educational systems - in particular between their prior teacher-centred schooling in Kenya and the unfamiliar student-centred university education in Australia - colour the academic and related challenges such students struggle to address, at least in their initial year at University. The broader, global context of the commodification and marketization of higher education - along with increasing strains of an under-resourced university sector in Australia - also impinge upon the lives of these four La Trobe students, in a variety of ways.

Recent generalization of Willis' dynamic homogenization theory to the case of piezoelectric composites further revealed that their effective linear momentum is also coupled to the effective electric field. Here, we introduce the simplest possible model -- a one-dimensional discrete model -- that exhibits this so-called electromomentum coupling in subwavelength composites. We utilize our model to elucidate the physical origins of this phenomenon, illustrate its mechanism, and identify local resonances which lead to elevated Willis- and electromomentum coupling in narrow frequency bands. The results provide intuitive guidelines for the design of this coupling in piezoelectric metamaterials.

Sparse grid techniques for particle-in-cell schemes
Creators: name: Ricketson, Lee F
name: Cerfon, Antoine J
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Computational Physics (physics.comp-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose the use of sparse grids to accelerate particle-in-cell (PIC) schemes. By using the so-called `combination technique' from the sparse grids literature, we are able to dramatically increase the size of the spatial cells in multi-dimensional PIC schemes while paying only a slight penalty in grid-based error. The resulting increase in cell size allows us to reduce the statistical noise in the simulation without increasing total particle number. We present initial proof-of-principle results from test cases in two and three dimensions that demonstrate the new scheme's efficiency, both in terms of computation time and memory usage.

Practised ways of being: theorising lesbians, agency and health
Creators: name: Dyson, Sue
Publisher: name: La Trobe

description: Abstract: The contemporary field 'lesbian health' was shaped by a range of social and political changes in the last third of the twentieth century, as well as by discourses originating in the historical regulation of lesbianism. In discourse, lesbians have been produced as invisible, passive victims of heterosexist and potentially homophobic health-care providers. This project sought to understand how lesbians produce and manage their own health, and their interactions with doctors and other health-care providers. The research questions asked how discourses about lesbianism and the construction of the lesbian health field influence the ways in which lesbians construct and manage their own health, and how lesbians position themselves as they negotiate clinical spaces. Using semi-structured interviews, 19 women, aged between 22 and 64 years, who identified as lesbian, gay, same-sex-attracted and queer were interviewed.Interview data were analysed using discourse and content analysis. When they engaged with the health-care system, some participants produced their lesbianism as a social matter of no relevance to health; while for others their lesbianism was central to their health. An analysis of power relations revealed the complexity of ways the participants used agency to speak or remain silent about their sexual orientation. This was motivated by complex embodied understandings about the potential for emotional, physical or ontological harm involved in coming out in clinical spaces. Some chose to remain silent all, or some of the time, others to assertively identify themselves as lesbian. This depended on a range of contemporaneous factors including safety concerns, past experience and personal judgement. Whether to come out or not in the medical encounter was not necessarily a conscious decision, but was shaped by the individual's embodied 'sense for the game'. While the health-care system had frequently provided less than optimum care, these women were not passive, but used agency to decide whether or not their sexual orientation was relevant to the medical encounter.

description: We propose a data structure that stores, in a compressed way, object trajectories, which at the same time, allow to efficiently response queries without the need to decompress the data. We use a data structure, called $k^{2}$-tree, to store the full position of all objects at regular time intervals. For storing the positions of objects between two time instants represented with $k^{2}$-trees, we only encode the relative movements. In order to save space, those relative moments are encoded with only one integer, instead of two (x,y)-coordinates. Moreover, the resulting integers are further compressed with a technique that allows us to manipulate those movements directly in compressed form. In this paper, we show an experimental evaluation of this structure, which shows important savings in space and good response times.

description: There are two types of timing irregularities seen in pulsars: glitches and timing noise. Both of these phenomena can help us probe the interior of such exotic objects. This article presents a brief overview of the observational and theoretical aspects of pulsar timing irregularities and the main results from the investigations of these phenomena in India. The relevance of such Indian programs for monitoring of young pulsars with the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) is presented, highlighting possible contributions of the Indian neutron star community to the upcoming SKA endeavour.

description: Modern smartphones possess hardware for audio acquisition and to perform speech processing tasks such as speaker recognition and health assessment. However, energy consumption remains a concern, especially for resource-intensive DNNs. Prior work has improved the DNN energy efficiency by utilizing a compact model or reducing the dimensions of speech features. Both approaches reduced energy consumption during DNN inference but not during speech acquisition. This paper proposes using a masking kernel integrated into gradient descent during DNN training to learn the most energy-efficient speech length and sampling rate for windowing, a common step for sample construction. To determine the most energy-optimal parameters, a masking function with non-zero derivatives was combined with a low-pass filter. The proposed approach minimizes the energy consumption of both data collection and inference by 57%, and is competitive with speaker recognition and traumatic brain injury detection baselines.

description: In a two-dimensional atomic Bose-Einstein condensate, we demonstrate Rashba spin-orbit coupling can always introduce dynamical instability into specific zero-quasimomentum states in all parameter regimes. During the evolution of the zero-quasimomentum states, such spin-orbit-coupling-induced instability can fragment the states and lead to a dynamically patterning process. The features of formed patterns are identified from the symmetries of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes Hamiltonian. We show that spin-orbit-coupled Bose-Einstein condensates provide an interesting platform for the investigation of pattern formations.

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Clinical neuropsychology

description: In the absence of reliable and valid neuropsychological measures, accurate assessment of culturally diverse groups is a challenge facing the Australian neuropsychological community. The use of tests developed for the majority English-speaking population has been shown to result in misdiagnosis when applied to immigrant populations. Greek Australian immigrants constitute one of the largest ageing ethnic minority groups in Australia, who are at risk of developing dementia. Therefore, the aims of this thesis were to develop culturally specific tests and normative data to assist with accurately diagnosing Greek Australian older adults with suspected dementia.
