description: We studied the spin dynamics of a Cr atom incorporated in a II-VI semiconductor quantum dot using photon correlation techniques. We used recently developed singly Cr-doped CdTe/ZnTe quantum dots (A. Lafuente-Sampietro {\it et al.}, [1]) to access the spin of an individual magnetic atom. Auto-correlation of the photons emitted by the quantum dot under continuous wave optical excitation reveals fluctuations of the localized spin with a timescale in the 10 ns range. Cross-correlation gives quantitative transfer time between Cr spin states. A calculation of the time dependence of the spin levels population in Cr-doped quantum dots shows that the observed spin dynamics is controlled by the exciton-Cr interaction. These measurements also provide a lower bound in the 20 ns range for the intrinsic Cr spin relaxation time.

Social and Emotional Learning
AI literacy

description: This catalogue offers a comprehensive review of literature pertinent to the SETCOM project, focusing on the convergence of social and emotional learning (SEL) and AI literacy. As SEL gains traction in modern education for its role in holistic individual development, the digital era simultaneously emphasizes the necessity of AI literacy. The document dives into a variety of sources, from empirical studies to cutting-edge advancements in both fields. It touches upon the cultivation of emotional intelligence, relationship-building, responsible decision-making, and more in the context of SEL. Furthermore, the catalogue delves into how AI intersects with SEL, including the potential of AI technologies to bolster SEL endeavors and the ethical considerations entailed. The aim is to shed light on the current research landscape, pinpoint gaps, and inspire innovation, ultimately informing SETCOM project strategies and interventions.

description: Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer. While curable with early detection, only highly trained specialists are capable of accurately recognizing the disease. As expertise is in limited supply, automated systems capable of identifying disease could save lives, reduce unnecessary biopsies, and reduce costs. Toward this goal, we propose a system that combines recent developments in deep learning with established machine learning approaches, creating ensembles of methods that are capable of segmenting skin lesions, as well as analyzing the detected area and surrounding tissue for melanoma detection. The system is evaluated using the largest publicly available benchmark dataset of dermoscopic images, containing 900 training and 379 testing images. New state-of-the-art performance levels are demonstrated, leading to an improvement in the area under receiver operating characteristic curve of 7.5% (0.843 vs. 0.783), in average precision of 4% (0.649 vs. 0.624), and in specificity measured at the clinically relevant 95% sensitivity operating point 2.9 times higher than the previous state-of-the-art (36.8% specificity compared to 12.5%). Compared to the average of 8 expert dermatologists on a subset of 100 test images, the proposed system produces a higher accuracy (76% vs. 70.5%), and specificity (62% vs. 59%) evaluated at an equivalent sensitivity (82%).

Rangeland Cattle and the Risk of Waterborne Cryptosporidium parvum Infection in Humans
Creators: name: Atwill, Rob
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1998

description: Cryptosporidium parvum (C. parvum) is a tiny protozoal parasite that can cause gastrointestinal illness in a wide variety of mammals, including humans, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and horses. It also occurs in various wildlife species such as deer, raccoons, opossums, and rabbits (Fayer et al. and Ungar 1990). In cattle, clinical disease and shedding of the parasite is usually limited to calves under a few months of age (National Animal Health Monitoring System 1994, Kirkpatrick 1985, Anderson and Hall 1982). Although not confirmed by studies done in the U.S., researchers in England and in Spain have reported the shedding of C. parvum in adult beef cattle (Scott et al. 1994, Lorenzo Lorenzo et al. 1993). In humans, clinical disease and shedding can appear at all ages, but is typically more common among children (Ungar 1990). The predominant clinical sign is profuse, watery diarrhea lasting from a few days to several weeks in normal (immunocompetent) calves (Kirkpatrick 1985) and humans (Jokipii and Jokipii 1986). While this disease is usually self-limiting in immunocompetent calves and humans, it can be prolonged and life-threatening among immunocompromised people such as AIDS patients. An effective treatment for eliminating this parasite from the gastrointestinal track still does not exist (White et al. 1994, Goodgame et al. 1993). A few antibiotics may show some promise in reducing the amount of oocyst shedding in AIDS patients, but further clinical trials are needed to fully evaluate their efficacy (White et al. 1994, Goodgame et al. 1993). The severity of this disease for the immunosuppressed and the fact that this parasite was implicated in recent large scale water-borne outbreaks of gastroenteritis in humans (MacKenzie et al. 1994, Hayes et al. 1989) has prompted the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, state and local public health agencies and regional water districts to seek ways to reduce surface water contamination of this parasite. Some of this attention has focused on identifying the primary sources of C. parvum in surface water. Cattle are often perceived to be a leading environmental source of water-borne C. parvum. For example, the U.S. EPA has explicitly warned that inclusion of C. parvum into the proposed Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule will likely result in new restrictions being placed on the location and management of livestock operations situated within watershed regions (U.S. EPA 1994). Presented below is a brief summary of the medical ecology of C. parvum in calves and in humans and the existing scientific evidence that addresses the claim that grazing of cattle on watershed regions puts humans at significant risk for water-borne infection of C. parvum.

description: Three-dimensional topological Weyl semimetals can generally support a zero-dimensional Weyl point characterized by a quantized Chern number or a one-dimensional Weyl nodal ring (or line) characterized by a quantized Berry phase in the momentum space. Here, in a dissipative system with particle gain and loss, we discover a new type of topological ring, dubbed Weyl exceptional ring consisting of exceptional points at which two eigenstates coalesce. Such a Weyl exceptional ring is characterized by both a quantized Chern number and a quantized Berry phase, which are defined via the Riemann surface. We propose an experimental scheme to realize and measure the Weyl exceptional ring in a dissipative cold atomic gas trapped in an optical lattice.

description: Gossip algorithms is a common term to describe protocols for unreliable information dissemination in natural networks, which are not optimally designed for efficient communication between network entities. We consider application of gossip algorithms to quantum networks and show that any quantum network can be updated to optimal configuration with local operations and classical communication. This allows to seed-up -- in the best case exponentially -- the quantum information dissemination. Irrespective of the initial configuration of the quantum network, the update requiters at most polynomial number of local operations and classical communication.

description: This work covers an ab initio calculation of thermodynamic, transport, and optical properties of plastics of the effective composition CH$_2$ at density 0.954 g/cm$^3$ in the temperature range from 5 kK up to 100 kK. The calculation is based on the quantum molecular dynamics, density functional theory and the Kubo-Greenwood formula. The temperature dependence of the static electrical conductivity $σ(T)$ has a step-like shape: $σ(T)$ grows rapidly for 5 kK <= $T$ <= 10 kK and is almost constant for 20 kK <= $T$ <= 60 kK. The additional analysis based on the investigation of the electron density of states (DOS) is performed. The rapid growth of $σ(T)$ at 5 kK<= $T$ <= 10 kK is connected with the increase of DOS at the electron energy equal to the chemical potential $ε= μ$. The frequency dependence of the dynamic electrical conductivity $σ_1(ω)$ at 5 kK has the distinct non-Drude shape with the peak at $ω\approx 10$ eV. This behavior of $σ_1(ω)$ was explained by the dip at the electron DOS.

description: By systematically comparing experimental and theoretical transport properties, we identify the polar optical phonon scattering as the dominant mechanism limiting electron mobility in beta-Ga2O3 to lower than 200 cm2/Vs at 300 K for donor doping densities lower than 1018 cm-3. In spite of similar electron effective mass of beta-Ga2O3 to GaN, the electron mobility is 10x lower because of a massive Frohlich interaction, due to the low phonon energies stemming from the crystal structure and strong bond ionicity. Based on the theoretical and experimental analysis, we provide an empirical expression for electron mobility in beta-Ga2O3 that should help calibrate its potential in high performance device design and applications.
The aboriginal language of Sydney: a partial reconstruction of the indigenous language of Sydney based on the notebooks of William Dawes of 1790-91, informed by other records of the Sydney and surrounding languages to c.1905

description: 'Wara wara!" - 'go away' - the first indigenous words heard by Europeans at the time of the social upheaval that began in 1788, were part of the language spoken by the inhabitants around the shores of Port Jackson from time immemorial. Traces of this language, funtionally lost in two generations, remain in words such as 'dingo' and 'woomera' that entered the English language, and in placenames such as 'Cammeray' and 'Parramatta'. Various First Fleeters, and others, compiled limited wordlists in the vicinity of the harbour and further afield, and in the early 1900s the surveyor R.H. Mathews documented the remnants of the Dharug language. Only as recently as 1972 were the language notebooks of William Dawes, who was noted by Watkin Tench as having advanced his studies 'beyond the reach of competition', uncovered in a London university library. The jottings made by Dawes, who was learning as he went along, are incomplete and parts defy analysis. Nevertheless much of his work has been confirmed, clarified and corrected by reference to records of the surrounding languages, which have similar grammatical forms and substantial cognate vocabulary, and his verbatim sentences and model verbs have permitted a limited attempt at reconstructing the grammar.

On enhanced corrections from quasi-degenerate states to heavy quarkonium observables

description: It is well known that in perturbation theory existence of quasi-degenerate states can rearrange the order counting. For a heavy quarkonium system, naively, enhanced effects ($l$-changing mixing effects) could contribute already to the first-order and third-order corrections to the wave function and the energy level, respectively, in expansion in $α_s$. We present a formulation and note that the corresponding (lowest-order) corrections vanish due to absence of the relevant off-diagonal matrix elements. As a result, in the quarkonium energy level and leptonic decay width, the enhanced effects are expected to appear, respectively, in the fifth- and fourth-order corrections and beyond.

Literatura afro-feminina brasileira:  uma forma de combate  ao silenciamento e ao racismo

Year: 2019
Subjects: Afro-Brazilian literature; Black women; Fighting against silencing and racism

description: This article approaches the theme of "New Old Slavery" from a study of Afro-Brazilian literature written by women. The idea is to show that black women have lived - and live, since racial prejudice still persists in our society, which is a legacy of the slavery process - for centuries on the slavery of silencing and, through literature, they have been fighting and conquering a space in Brazilian literature from which they give voice to those who, for centuries, have been and continue, even to a lesser extent, being muted and invisible to history, and in this way, a new form of the old slavery is rendered. Through literary art, Afro-Brazilian writers have "blurred" the traditional and official speech when they narrate, from their own perspective, the other version of history that was "forgotten" by the dominant ideology.

Resolution of post-traumatic amnesia
Creators: name: Pfaff, Anne
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: After suffering a severe brain injury a loss of consciousness usually ensues. This period of coma is followed by a period of amnesia, confusion and disorientation and this stage is referred to as post-traumatic amnesia (PTA). Clinical observations have found that simple recognition memory returns before temporal orientation in the majority of severely head-injured patients and this raised the question of whether significant cognitive changes accompanied this pattern of resolution. -- Subjects were tested on four occasions on a reaction time task and a memory test. It was found that recognition memory, as measured by the ability to consistently recall the 3 pictures of the PTA scale, resolved before temporal orientation. This return of simple recognition memory co-incided with a dramatic improvement in attention, as measured by simple reaction times. For subjects with a PTA of more than 8 weeks improvement in speed plateaud once they emerged from PTA whereas memory continued to show improvement after emergence from PTA. -- These results are important clinically. It has been thought that patients cannot benefit from therapy while they are in PTA. The finding that attention improves dramatically once recognition memory returns means that therapy which depends on procedural memory could begin at this time. In cases where PTA cannot be measured effectively with the use of a PTA scale, reaction times could be monitored and when a plateau was reached one could be reasonably confident that PTA had ended.

description: We consider scenarios in which the annihilation of self-conjugate spin-1 dark matter to a Standard Model fermion-antifermion final state is chirality suppressed, but where this suppression can be lifted by the emission of an additional photon via internal bremsstrahlung. We find that this scenario can only arise if the initial dark matter state is polarized, which can occur in the context of self-interacting dark matter. In particular, this is possible if the dark matter pair forms a bound state that decays to its ground state before the constituents annihilate. We show that the shape of the resulting photon spectrum is the same as for self-conjugate spin-0 and spin-1/2 dark matter, but the normalization is less heavily suppressed in the limit of heavy mediators.

description: Published software quality models either provide abstract quality attributes or concrete quality assessments. There are no models that seamlessly integrate both aspects. In the project Quamoco, we built a comprehensive approach with the aim to close this gap. For this, we developed in several iterations a meta quality model specifying general concepts, a quality base model covering the most important quality factors and a quality assessment approach. The meta model introduces the new concept of a product factor, which bridges the gap between concrete measurements and abstract quality aspects. Product factors have measures and instruments to operationalise quality by measurements from manual inspection and tool analysis. The base model uses the ISO 25010 quality attributes, which we refine by 200 factors and 600 measures for Java and C# systems. We found in several empirical validations that the assessment results fit to the expectations of experts for the corresponding systems. The empirical analyses also showed that several of the correlations are statistically significant and that the maintainability part of the base model has the highest correlation, which fits to the fact that this part is the most comprehensive. Although we still see room for extending and improving the base model, it shows a high correspondence with expert opinions and hence is able to form the basis for repeatable and understandable quality assessments in practice.

description: The transition from the High Resolution Fly's Eye (HiRes) experiment to the Telescope Array (TA) experiment has been completed. The TA Middle Drum fluorescence  detector was built using refurbished telescopes from the HiRes-1 site so that a direct comparison could be made between the energy scales of the two experiments. I have made a comparison between the published HiRes spectrum [3] and a preliminary energy spectrum using data collected with the Middle Drum telescopes. Both sets of data represent measurements made via the monocular observation technique and were analyzed  using the HiRes-1 profile-constrained geometry reconstruction technique. The HiRes-1 data represents almost nine years of exposure and was collected betweenMay 29, 1997 and May 26, 2006. The Middle Drum data were collected over a three-year period between December 16, 2007 and December 16, 2010. The Middle Drum exposure is about one third of the HiRes-1 total exposure. I have demonstrated that the Middle Drum detector has the same energy scale as HiRes-1.   The published HiRes-1 and Middle Drum spectra presented in this dissertation were measured using average calibrations. A study was preformed on the HiRes-1 data to determine the systematic effects of using the nightly atmospheric and electronic-calibration  databases instead of average values. The difference between using the average values and using the detailed nightly databases was less than 1%, indicating the spectral results are robust to these differences.  Finally, a search was made for the interaction between cosmic rays and ions in the heliosphere. This interaction could result in a unique signature of parallel, simultaneous photon showers. The HiRes-1 data were chosen for this search due to its large exposure and resulting data set. Unfortunately, detector limitations restricted the potential observations. No double-shower events were detected; however, if observed,  this would be suggestive of new physics. Monte Carlo simulated events were used to calculate a preliminary aperture of the HiRes-1 detector for these exotic events and future refinements will allow us to set a physical limit on the rate of events.    I would like to dedicate this work to my wife, Larissa. Your support through this process has been the island in my stream. I would also like to dedicate this work to my  son, Evan, and soon-to-be daughter, Shaye, who came at just the right time to keep me smiling.

description: Relativistic dynamics of a charged particle in time-dependent electromagnetic fields has theoretical significance and a wide range of applications. It is often multi-scale and requires accurate long-term numerical simulations using symplectic integrators. For modern large-scale particle simulations in complex, time-dependent electromagnetic field, explicit symplectic algorithms are much more preferable. In this paper, we treat the relativistic dynamics of a particle as a Hamiltonian system on the cotangent space of the space-time, and construct for the first time explicit symplectic algorithms for relativistic charged particles of order 2 and 3 using the sum-split technique and generating functions.

description: We compare the methods of amplitude reconstruction, for a complete experiment and a truncated partial wave analysis, applied to the photoproduction of pseudo-scalar mesons. The approach is pedagogical, showing in detail how the amplitude reconstruction (observables measured at a single energy and angle) is related to a truncated partial-wave analysis (observables measured at a single energy and a number of angles).

description: The population of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) in the newly formed Port Stephens Marine Park, NSW, is the target of the largest dolphin-watching industry in Australia. I investigated (1) potential impacts of dolphin-watching boats (DWs) including aspects such as number of vessels, as well as distances from dolphin groups, (2) different experimental boat approach distances, (3) effectiveness of Speed Restriction Zones (SRZs), and (4) fine-scale habitat use of dolphins, from August 2008 to August 2010. -- (1) The presence of DWs altered both the dolphins' behavioural states and activity budgets. Dolphins spent significantly less time feeding and were never observed to rest in the presence of DWs. These effects were exacerbated as the number of boats increased and the distance from boats decreased, with feeding in particular compromised by boat number. -- (2) Analysis of experimental boat approaches showed that there was significantly less feeding and resting when boats approached them at close range. -- (3) SRZs were more intensely used than Control Zones (CZs) by DWs in summer. In contrast, dolphin groups including calves used SRZs less during summer. -- (4) Spatial modeling of habitat use showed that dolphins preferred shallow areas that are closer to shore for resting but have no preferred habitat when feeding. -- This study recommends stricter regulations than currently legislated including restricting the number of DWs to no more than one within 50 m of a dolphin group with only adults and 150 m with a group including calves to enable groups to feed. Given the critical impact of any boats on resting, the location, size, and accompanying regulations regarding SRZs have to be revised. Total Exclusion Zones should be considered to reduce pressure on dolphins undertaking critically important activities. Management plans whose stated goals include both sustainability of a dolphin-watching industry and longer-term viability of a dolphin population may reconcile conflicting objectives and improve decision-making by using these empirical measures rather than best guesses.

The tenfold way redux: Fermionic systems with $N$-body interactions

description: We provide a systematic treatment of the tenfold way of classifying fermionic systems that naturally allows for the study of those with arbitrary $N$-body interactions. We identify four types of symmetries that such systems can possess, which consist of one ordinary type (usual unitary symmetries), and three non-ordinary symmetries (such as time reversal, charge conjugation and sublattice). Focusing on systems that possess no non-trivial ordinary symmetries, we demonstrate that the non-ordinary symmetries are strongly constrained. This approach not only leads very naturally to the tenfold classes, but also obtains the canonical representations of these symmetries in each of the ten classes. We also provide a group cohomological perspective of our results in terms of projective representations. We then use the canonical representations of the symmetries to obtain the structure of Hamiltonians with arbitrary $N$-body interactions in each of the ten classes. We show that the space of $N$-body Hamiltonians has an affine subspace (of a vector space) structure in classes which have either or both charge conjugation and sublattice symmetries. Our results can help address open questions on the topological classification of interacting fermionic systems.

description: We address the origin of the magnetic-field independent -|A| T^{1/2} term observed in the low-temperature resistivity of several As-based metallic systems of the PbFCl structure type. For the layered compound ZrAs_{1.58}Se_{0.39}, we show that vacancies in the square nets of As give rise to the low-temperature transport anomaly over a wide temperature regime of almost two decades in temperature. This low-temperature behavior is in line with the non-magnetic version of the two-channel Kondo effect, whose origin we ascribe to a dynamic Jahn-Teller effect operating at the vacancy-carrying As layer with a C_4 symmetry. The pair-breaking nature of the dynamical defects in the square nets of As explains the low superconducting transition temperature T_{\rm{c}}\approx 0.14 K of ZrAs_{1.58}Se_{0.39}, as compared to the free-of-vacancies homologue ZrP_{1.54}S_{0.46} (T_{\rm{c}}\approx 3.7 K). Our findings should be relevant to a wide class of metals with disordered pnictogen layers.

description: A class of equations with exponential nonlinearities on a compact Riemannian surface is considered. More precisely, we study an asymmetric sinh-Gordon problem arising as a mean field equation of the equilibrium turbulence of vortices with variable intensities. We start by performing a blow-up analysis in order to derive some information on the local blow-up masses. As a consequence we get a compactness property in a supercritical range. We next introduce a variational argument based on improved Moser-Trudinger inequalities which yields existence of solutions for any choice of the underlying surface.

A text-based study of the grammar of Chinese from a systemic functional approach
Creators: name: Li, Eden Sum Hung
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This is a purpose-oriented and text-based study of the clause grammar of Chinese from a systemic functional perspective. Using data from the Chinese translation of an Englishlanguage novel, I have explored the non-arbitrary relationship between the semantic and grammatical system networks of the three modes of meaning, namely ideational, interpersonal and textual, by taking an inductive, top-down approach. The ideational meaning construes our experience of the world around us and inside us as a structural configuration; the interpersonal meaning enacts our social and intersubjective roles through the selection of speech functions; and finally the textual meaning enables the ideational and interpersonal meanings to proceed as a flow of information, i.e. as text in context. -- This is a study of text, an attempt to extend the clause grammar towards discourse semantics. Texts are studied as an unfolding process, and hence instead of modeling text as a generic structure, system networks which indicate the meaning potential that a language user can utilise are constructed. The ways in which the interactants take turns to make a conversation move on have been examined; the systems which control the flow of information as a text unfolds have been constructed; and finally, the issue of textual connexity has been explored. The issue of connexity in the present study embodies three concepts: the connexity of information chunks, which is concerned with the property of cohesion; the connexity of messages, which is closely related to the property of coherence; and the connexity of text, which includes methods of thematic progression and thematic selection. -- This thesis is also a contrastive study of Chinese and English, hoping to shed some light on translation between the two languages and on teaching Chinese to English speakers. The grammatical systems of the three modes of meaning in the two languages have been compared from three angles: from around, i.e. concerning the options available in the systems; from above, i.e. concerning the syntactic structural differences of the options; and from below, i.e. concerning the syntactic structural differences of the options, as well as the relative frequencies of the various options in the systems.

description: The recently discovered vast thin plane of dwarf satellites orbiting the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) adds to the mystery of the small scale distribution of the Local Group's galaxy population. Such well defined planar structures are apparently rare occurrences in cold dark matter cosmological simulations, and we lack a coherent explanation of their formation and existence. In this paper, we explore the long-term survivability of thin planes of dwarfs in galactic halos, focusing, in particular, on systems mimicking the observed Andromeda distribution. The key results show that, in general, planes of dwarf galaxies are fragile, sensitive to the shape of the dark matter halo and other perturbing effects. In fact, long lived planes of satellites only exist in polar orbits in spherical dark matter halos, presenting a challenge to the observed Andromeda plane which is significantly tilted with respect to the optical disk. Our conclusion is that, in standard cosmological models, planes of satellites are generally short lived, and hence we must be located at a relatively special time in the evolution of the Andromeda Plane, lucky enough to see its coherent pattern.
