description: This thesis investigates the implications of the recent revival of interest in the ideas of Lionel Trilling. It also explores, through creative practice, how the concepts he espoused might be applied to the writing of fiction today. Trilling's view of literature, culture, morality and their relationship to each other, as expressed in his major critical publications, is evaluated. Reasons for his dominant influence as a literary and cultural critic in the 1940s and 50s are advanced. His fiction is analysed for its relevance to his broader ideas and its value for the creative undertaking that forms part of this thesis. The exegesis reviews the criticism of Trilling's work that began in the 1960s, and the shifting literary and cultural attitudes that led to his marginalisation; it then considers the reasons for the recent return of enthusiasm for Trilling's writings. Aesthetic and moral philosophers began this revival when, like Trilling, they applied the concept of the moral imagination to fiction. The work of literary critics and scholars who have also recently rediscovered Trilling is cited in support of the proposition that his views are once again relevant to literary scholarship and practice. Finally the exegesis argues that Trilling's ideas were not necessarily antithetical to those of the postmodernists and in some respects may have been their precursor. It proposes that Trilling's "second life" brings back into focus values relating to the role of literature that have resonance in the contemporary world and implications for the practice of creative writing. Practice-led research is undertaken in the form of a writer's notebook, which applies, by creative observation and reflection, the ideas investigated in the exegesis.

description: Optimization of Lamb modes induced by laser can be achieved by adjusting the spatial source distribution to the mode wavelength ($λ$). The excitability of Zero-Group Velocity (ZGV) resonances in isotropic plates is investigated both theoretically and experimentally for axially symmetric sources. Optimal parameters and amplitude gains are derived analytically for spot and annular sources of either Gaussian or rectangular energy profiles. For a Gaussian spot source, the optimal radius is found to be $λ_{ZGV}/π$. Annular sources increase the amplitude by at least a factor of 3 compared to the optimal Gaussian source. Rectangular energy profiles provide higher gain than Gaussian ones. These predictions are confirmed by semi-analytical simulation of the thermoelastic generation of Lamb waves, including the effect of material attenuation. Experimentally, Gaussian ring sources of controlled width and radius are produced with an axicon-lens system. Measured optimal geometric parameters obtained for Gaussian and annular beams are in good agreement with theoretical predictions. A ZGV resonance amplification factor of 2.1 is obtained with the Gaussian ring. Such source should facilitate the inspection of highly attenuating plates made of low ablation threshold materials like composites.

христианизация инородцев.

description: Статья посвящена истории формирования Казанской духовной академии, на базе которой было положено начало изучению истории и культуры народов буддийской цивилизации. Как оказалось, миссионерская деятельность, направленная на христианизацию буддистовкалмыков, встречалась с огромным сопротивлением и большими трудностями, поскольку затрагивала фундаментальные основы культуры калмыцкого народа. Борьба велась за каждого человека, об этом свидетельствует статистика, публикуемая в отчетах различных «епархиальных ведомостях». Поэтому в Казанской духовной семинарии, впоследствии ставшей академией, семинаристы и студенты изучали и языки и культуру нехристианских народов.

description: By directly altering microscopic interactions, pressure provides a powerful tuning knob for the exploration of condensed phases and geophysical phenomena. The megabar regime represents an exciting frontier, where recent discoveries include novel high-temperature superconductors, as well as structural and valence phase transitions. However, at such high pressures, many conventional measurement techniques fail. Here, we demonstrate the ability to perform local magnetometry inside of a diamond anvil cell with sub-micron spatial resolution at megabar pressures. Our approach utilizes a shallow layer of Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) color centers implanted directly within the anvil; crucially, we choose a crystal cut compatible with the intrinsic symmetries of the NV center to enable functionality at megabar pressures. We apply our technique to characterize a recently discovered hydride superconductor, CeH9. By performing simultaneous magnetometry and electrical transport measurements, we observe the dual signatures of superconductivity: partial field suppression characteristic of the Meissner effect and a sharp drop of the resistance to near zero. By locally mapping both the diamagnetic response and flux trapping, we directly image the geometry of superconducting regions, revealing significant inhomogeneities at the micron scale. Our work brings quantum sensing to the megabar frontier and enables the closed loop optimization of superhydride materials synthesis.

description: Three dimensional (3D) third-order topological insulators (TIs) have zero-dimensional (0D) corner states, which are three dimensions lower than bulk. Here we investigate the third-order TIs on breathing pyrochlore lattices with p-orbital freedom. The tight-binding Hamiltonian is derived for the p-orbital model, in which we find that the two orthogonal $π$-type (transverse) hoppings are the key to open a band gap and obtain higher-order topological corner states. We introduce the Z4 berry phase to characterize the bulk topology and analysis the phase diagram. The corner states, demonstrated in a finite structure of a regular tetrahedron, exhibit rich 3D orbital configurations. Furthermore, we design an acoustic system to introduce the necessary $π$-type hopping and successfully observe the orbital corner states. Our work extends topological orbital corner states to third-order, which enriches the contents of orbital physics and may lead to applications in novel topological acoustic devices.

Investigation of boulder distribution in (1) Ceres and insight into its surface evolution

description: The surface conditions of terrestrial bodies strongly reflect their geological evolutionary processes and vary among various terrestrial bodies. This diversity is attributed to variations in the timescales of boulder formation through processes such as impact cratering, rockfalls from crater walls, seismic motion, and boulder fragmentation caused by micrometeoroid impacts and thermal stress. In this study, we examined boulders on Ceres using high-resolution images with a resolution of approximately 5 m/px obtained during the Ceres Extended Mission 2 Orbit 7 of the Dawn mission. Almost all boulders were present around impact craters, even at a resolution of 5 m/px, thus indicating that the boulders on Ceres were created by impact cratering alone. The maximum boulder size on Ceres is approximately 200 m, even around large craters, which may indicate the upper size limit determined by the mechanical strength of the boulders, such as the tensile strength, the scale effect, and/or shattering strength. The slope of the size-frequency distribution of boulders on Ceres varied significantly across the range of boulder sizes, thus making it difficult to describe it using a single function of a power-law relationship; in particular, it changed at approximately 100 m, thus indicating that destructive or formation mechanisms may be different for large boulders > 100 m and for small boulders < 100 m. There may also be a subsurface structure that prevents the formation of small boulders, although this is difficult to argue conclusively. We estimated that the lifetime of boulders larger than 50 m was equivalent to or shorter than 100 Myr. This lifetime is consistent with a theoretical estimation assuming that micrometeoroid impacts are the primary destructive mechanism.

Photoproduction of K$^{+}$K$^{-}$ pairs in ultra-peripheral collisions

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)

description: K$^{+}$K$^{-}$ pairs may be produced in photonuclear collisions, either from the decays of photoproduced $ϕ(1020)$ mesons, or directly as non-resonant K$^{+}$K$^{-}$ pairs. Measurements of K$^{+}$K$^{-}$ photoproduction probe the couplings between the $ϕ(1020)$ and charged kaons with photons and nuclear targets. The kaon$-$proton scattering occurs at energies far above those available elsewhere. We present the first measurement of coherent photoproduction of K$^{+}$K$^{-}$ pairs on lead ions in ultra-peripheral collisions using the ALICE detector, including the first investigation of direct K$^{+}$K$^{-}$ production. There is significant K$^{+}$K$^{-}$ production at low transverse momentum, consistent with coherent photoproduction on lead targets. In the mass range $1.1 < M_{\rm{KK}} < 1.4$ GeV/$c^2$ above the $ϕ(1020)$ resonance, for rapidity $|y_{\rm{KK}}|<0.8$ and $p_{\rm T,KK} < 0.1$ GeV/$c$, the measured coherent photoproduction cross section is $\mathrm{d}σ/\mathrm{d}y$ = 3.37 $\pm\ 0.61$ (stat.) $\pm\ 0.15 $ (syst.) mb. The center-of-mass energy per nucleon of the photon-nucleus (Pb) system $W_{γ\mathrm{Pb, n}}$ ranges from 33 to 188 GeV, far higher than previous measurements on heavy-nucleus targets. The cross section is larger than expected for $ϕ(1020)$ photoproduction alone. The mass spectrum is fit to a cocktail consisting of $ϕ(1020)$ decays, direct K$^{+}$K$^{-}$ photoproduction, and interference between the two. The confidence regions for the amplitude and relative phase angle for direct K$^{+}$K$^{-}$ photoproduction are presented.

description: Herd immunity is a critical concept in epidemiology, describing a threshold at which a sufficient proportion of a population is immune, either through infection or vaccination, thereby preventing sustained transmission of a pathogen. In the classic Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered (SIR) model, which has been widely used to study infectious disease dynamics, the achievement of herd immunity depends on key parameters, including the transmission rate ($β$) and the recovery rate ($γ$), where $γ$ represents the inverse of the mean infectious period. While the transmission rate has received substantial attention, recent studies have underscored the significant role of $γ$ in determining the timing and sustainability of herd immunity. Additionally, it is becoming increasingly evident that assuming $γ$ as a constant parameter might oversimplify the dynamics, as variations in recovery times can reflect diverse biological, social, and healthcare-related factors.
 In this paper, we investigate how heterogeneity in the recovery rate affects herd immunity. We show empirically that the mean of the recovery rate is not a reliable metric for determining the achievement of herd immunity. Furthermore, we provide a theoretical result demonstrating that it is instead the mean recovery time, which is the mean of the inverse $1/γ$ of the recovery rate that is critical in deciding whether herd immunity is achievable within the SIR framework. A similar result is proved for the SEIR model. These insights have significant implications for public health interventions and theoretical modeling of epidemic dynamics.

Functional analysis of extrafloral nectaries and nectar of Australian native wild cottons
Creators: name: Fabian, Belinda K.
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Extrafloral (EF) nectar is the foundation of many ant-plant interactions worldwide. EF nectar is a resource that encourages ant presence, in turn resulting in protection for plants against herbivores. There is a paucity of research on this relationship and the plant structures that underpin it in Australian species. An examination of the morphology and anatomy of EF nectaries of four Australian cottons (Gossypium spp.) revealed a suberised layer in the nectaries which indicates solutes must travel through the symplasm. ¹⁴CO₂ labelling showed the studied leaves were carbon sources and the EF nectar carbon cost was 1% of net photosynthates. Any environmental changes that affect EF nectar could have flow-on effects for ecological communities, for example rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels. This study tested the response of EF nectar to elevated CO₂; the first investigation of elevated CO₂ impacts on any EF nectar system. The total volume and composition of EF nectar did not change, but there was evidence of accelerated plant development and a change in EF nectar allocation within plants. Developmental changes due to elevated CO₂ could affect the timing of EF nectar production which could have flow-on effects to ant mutualists and the defence of plants.

Auditory and visual ERP correlates of gender agreement processing in Dutch and Italian
Creators: name: Popov, Srđan
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The present thesis revolves around the processing of (linguistic) gender and gender agreement in reading/listening. It focuses on real-time processing which is why event-related potentials (ERPs) were chosen as the preferred experimental method. The studies presented here address questions that pertain to psycholinguistic issues related to gender agreement processing, as well as methodological aspects related to the use of ERPs in agreement studies. The majority of agreement studies apply the so-called 'violation paradigm' (e.g., Osterhout, McLaughlin, Kim, Greenwald, & Inoue, 2004), which means presenting participants with sentences containing agreement errors (agreement mismatch). Since each experiment in this thesis contained a violation paradigm, it is more appropriate to talk about gender disagreement rather than gender agreement processing. Two central issues act as the backbone of this work. Firstly, we study the relationship between gender disagreement and the repair and reanalysis processes as reflected by the late syntactic component (P600; Friederici, 2002; Kaan & Swaab, 2003). In the first two experiments (Chapters 2 and 3), this is achieved by comparing syntactic and semantic gender in Italian. This study is intertwined with the issue of whether semantics can influence syntactic processing and how this is reflected in the P600 component. The last two experiments (Chapters 4 and 5) also investigate the repair mechanism, but by comparing gender and number disagreement in Dutch. The second issue investigated in the current thesis is methodological. It relates to the role of input modality (visual or auditory) and real-time processing with ERPs. Each experiment in this thesis was conducted as a reading study first (Chapters 2 and 4) and then as a listening study (Chapters 3 and 5), thus allowing us to manipulate stimulus duration, as well as the violation recognition point while using identical stimuli. By so doing, we were able to compare reading and listening in terms of the presence/absence of language-related ERP components, as well as their temporal and topographic characteristics. By combining the two research goals, we obtained a more detailed picture of the processes underlying gender agreement and their relationship to language-related ERP components. This introduction provides a general framework for the 4 ensuing experimental chapters. It firstly introduces the technique (ERPs) and its application in the sentence processing field. Afterwards, the theoretical framework for four studies is provided. The introduction ends with the predictions stemming from such framework and with a presentation of the structure of the thesis.

Is there evidence of Alexandrian culture influencing the first century Christians?: a question explored through Christian connections to the practice of mummification
Creators: name: Hall, Craig L.
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis research seeks to explore early Christianity in Egypt, particularly first century, by answering the question: Is there evidence of Alexandrian culture influencing the First century Christians? – and whether this may be a marker for early Christians in Egypt. Rather than seeking evidence conventionally via specificity of the term χριστιανοì or other nomina sacra in papyri, made difficult by the lack of first century examples, this thesis therefore takes the approach of looking for evidence of Alexandrian culture in Christian practice or texts. Do the Christians say they encountered and converted people from Alexandria, and is there other evidence of Egypto-Alexandrian culture meeting Christian culture? Due to Graeco-Roman culture being explicable from outside Alexandrian Egypt, this discussion focuses on the specificity of unique residual Egyptian culture persistent in the Alexandrian sphere – such as the process of mummification evident in first century Egypt and early Christian burial methods as a potential marker for both syncretistic practice and early Christian activity in Egypt in the first century.

description: The PandaX-4T experiment is designed for multiple purposes, including searches for solar neutrinos, weakly interacting massive particles, and rare double beta decays of xenon isotopes. The experiment produces a huge amount of raw data that needs to be stored for related physical analyses in a wide energy range. With the upgrading of the PandaX-4T experiment, the doubled sampling rate resulted in a larger data size, which challenges both the cost and the data processing speed. To address this issue, we propose a data reduction strategy by removing the noise tail of large signals and downsampling the remaining parts of them. This strategy reduces the requirement for storage by 65% while increasing data processing speed. The influences on physical analyses on different topics at different energy regions are negligible.

'Tensile Metaphor' and the conversational model: a language-based approach to the treatment of complex trauma
Creators: name: Groome, Andrew Gerard
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: By placing language at the centre of the therapeutic process, Hobson and Meares distinguished their Conversational Model (CM) of psychotherapy from models rooted in the traditions of either psychoanalysis or the behavioural and cognitive sciences. Unlike clinicians trained in these traditions, the CM clinician is oriented not towards the content of the therapeutic conversation, but rather towards its form. It is in the patient's choice of words, their prosodic qualities and syntactic structure - measurable linguistic phenomena - that the CM clinician finds the subjective indices of self. My aim in this thesis is to first explore the theoretical, philosophical, and scientific foundations for the centrality of language and metaphor in the theory and practice of the CM, and then to look specifically at the role of creative or 'tensile' metaphors in facilitating the development of self. I argue, based on the science, that as analogical relatedness, the 'picturing' of the patient's feeling states, nurtures the integration of right brain-based systems responsible for emotional self-regulation and the ability to tolerate ambiguity, it ipso facto develops in the patient the capacity and imagination for creative metaphoric comprehension and production, a capacity greatly diminished by early traumatic experiences. This increased capacity for creating and grasping metaphoric meaning, I argue, extends and enriches the patient's subjective life and thus deepens the intersubjective experience of analogical fit between patient and therapist.

Este sector é, pois, um daqueles em que é preciso tentar fazer economias, prioritariamente. O êxito neste domínio depende, em primeiro lugar, da melhor adequação da potência do motor à da máquina que ele acciona. Quando o regime de funcionamento é muito variável para permitir este ajustamento, pode-se equipar o motor com um conversor electrónico de variação de velocidade. Outra possibilidade é a utilização dos motores “de perdas reduzidas” ou de “alto rendimento”, que perrmitem economias consideráveis.

description: The ultrafast optical manipulation of ordered phases in strongly correlated materials is a topic of significant theoretical, experimental, and technological interest. Inspired by a recent experiment on light-induced superconductivity in fullerenes [Mitrano et al., Nature 530, 2016], we develop a comprehensive theory of light-induced superconductivity in driven electron-phonon systems with lattice nonlinearities. In analogy with the operation of parametric amplifiers, we show how the interplay between the external drive and lattice nonlinearities lead to significantly enhanced effective electron-phonon couplings. We provide a detailed and unbiased study of the nonequilibrium dynamics of the driven system using the real-time Green's function technique. To this end, we develop a Floquet generalization of the Migdal-Eliashberg theory and derive a numerically tractable set of quantum Floquet-Boltzmann kinetic equations for the coupled electron-phonon system. We study the role of parametric phonon generation and electronic heating in destroying the transient superconducting state. Finally, we predict the transient formation of electronic Floquet bands in time- and angle-resolved photo-emission spectroscopy experiments as a consequence of the proposed mechanism.

description: In the last few years, there has been significant progress in the development of machine learning methods tailored to astrophysics and cosmology. We have recently applied one of these, namely, the neural network bundle method, to the cosmological scenario. Moreover, we showed that in some cases the computational times of the Bayesian inference process can be reduced. In this paper, we present an improvement to the neural network bundle method that results in a significant reduction of the computational times of the statistical analysis. The novel aspect consists of the use of the neural network bundle method to calculate the luminosity distance of type Ia supernovae, which is usually computed through an integral with numerical methods. In this work, we have applied this improvement to the Hu-Sawicki and Starobinsky $f(R)$ models. We also performed a statistical analysis with data from type Ia supernovae of the Pantheon+ compilation and cosmic chronometers. Another original aspect of this work is the different treatment we provide for the absolute magnitude of type Ia supernovae during the inference process, which results in different estimates of the distortion parameter than the ones obtained in the literature. We show that the statistical analyses carried out with our new method require lower computational times than the ones performed with both the numerical and the neural network method from our previous work. This reduction in time is more significant in the case of a difficult computational problem such as the ones addressed in this work.

description: Shuttling spins with high fidelity is a key requirement to scale up semiconducting quantum computers, enabling qubit entanglement over large distances and favoring the integration of control electronics on-chip. To decouple the spin from the unavoidable charge noise, state-of-the-art spin shuttlers try to minimize the inhomogeneity of the Zeeman field. However, this decoupling is challenging in otherwise promising quantum computing platforms such as hole spin qubits in silicon and germanium, characterized by a large spin-orbit interaction and electrically-tunable qubit frequency. In this work, we show that, surprisingly, the large inhomogeneity of the Zeeman field stabilizes the coherence of a moving spin state, thus enabling high-fidelity shuttling also in these systems. We relate this enhancement in fidelity to the deterministic dynamics of the spin which filters out the dominant low-frequency contributions of the charge noise. By simulating several different scenarios and noise sources, we show that this is a robust phenomenon generally occurring at large field inhomogeneity. By appropriately adjusting the motion of the quantum dot, we also design realistic protocols enabling faster and more coherent spin shuttling. Our findings are generally applicable to a wide range of setups and could pave the way toward large-scale quantum processors.

description: We calculate non-perturbative self-consistent fermionic and bosonic spectral functions of ultra-cold Fermi gases with the spectral functional approach. This approach allows for a direct real-time computation of non-perturbative correlation functions, and in the present work we use spectral Dyson-Schwinger equations. We focus on the normal phase of the spin-balanced Fermi gas and provide numerical results for the full fermionic and bosonic spectral functions. The spectral functions are then used for the determination of the equation of state, the Tan contact and ejection rf spectra at unitarity. These results are compared to experimental data, the self-consistent T-matrix approach and lattice results. Our approach offers a wide range of applications, including the ab initio calculation of transport and spectral properties of the superfluid phase in the BCS-BEC crossover.

description: The hierarchical model of structure formation is a key prediction of the Lambda cold dark matter model, which can be tested by studying the large-scale environment and the substructure content of massive galaxy clusters. We present here a detailed analysis of the clusters RXCJ0225.9-4154, RXCJ0528.9-3927, and RXCJ2308.3-0211, as part of a sample of massive X-ray luminous clusters located at intermediate redshifts. We used a multiwavelength analysis, combining WFI photometric observations, VIMOS spectroscopy, and the X-ray surface brightness maps. We investigated the optical morphology of the clusters, we looked for significant counterparts in the residual X-ray emission, and we ran several tests to assess their dynamical state. We correlated the results to define various substructure features, to study their properties, and to quantify their influence on simple dynamical mass estimators. RXCJ0225 has a bimodal core, and two massive galaxy groups are located in its immediate surroundings; they are aligned in an elongated structure that is also detected in X-rays. RXCJ0528 is located in a poor environment; an X-ray centroid shift and the presence of two central BCGs provide mild evidence for a recent and active dynamical history. RXCJ2308 has complex central dynamics, and it is found at the core of a superstes-cluster. The complexity of the cluster's central dynamics reflects the richness of its large-scale environment: RXCJ0225 and RXCJ2308 present a mass fraction in substructures larger than the typical 0.05-0.15, whereas the isolated cluster RXCJ0528 does not have any major substructures within its virial radius. The largest substructures are found in the cluster outskirts. The optical morphology of the clusters correlates with the orientation of their BCG, and with the position of the main axes of accretion.

description: The progression of materials has furthered the progression of human civilisation, as with the advent of alloys, the discovery and experimentation into high entropy alloys has developed. This document will demonstrate that a previously novel high entropy alloy can be effectively cast and characterised with the resources available to Macquarie University. Casting is achieved through the use of an induction furnace. Prior to analysis the samples must be mounted and polished. Characterisation involves hardness testing to determine the Vickers Hardness, wet chemical etching and use of a scanning electron microscope, to determins phase structure and grain size. Based on this information, the concept of future production of varied, and experimental, novel high entropy alloys is explored.

description: As telescopes become larger, into the era of ~40 m Extremely Large Telescopes, the high- resolution vertical profile of the optical turbulence strength is critical for the validation, optimization and operation of optical systems. The velocity of atmospheric optical turbulence is an important parameter for several applications including astronomical adaptive optics systems. Here, we compare the vertical profile of the velocity of the atmospheric wind above La Palma by means of a comparison of Stereo-SCIntillation Detection And Ranging (Stereo- SCIDAR) with the Global Forecast System models and nearby balloon-borne radiosondes. We use these data to validate the automated optical turbulence velocity identification from the Stereo-SCIDAR instrument mounted on the 2.5 m Isaac Newton Telescope, La Palma. By comparing these data we infer that the turbulence velocity and the wind velocity are consistent and that the automated turbulence velocity identification of the Stereo-SCIDAR is precise. The turbulence velocities can be used to increase the sensitivity of the turbulence strength profiles, as weaker turbulence that may be misinterpreted as noise can be detected with a velocity vector. The turbulence velocities can also be used to increase the altitude resolution of a detected layer, as the altitude of the velocity vectors can be identified to a greater precision than the native resolution of the system. We also show examples of complex velocity structure within a turbulent layer caused by wind shear at the interface of atmospheric zones.

description: Designing a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) is a difficult and complex task. Many recent works have considered chaotic functions as the basis of built PRNGs: the quality of the output would indeed be an obvious consequence of some chaos properties. However, there is no direct reasoning that goes from chaotic functions to uniform distribution of the output. Moreover, embedding such kind of functions into a PRNG does not necessarily allow to get a chaotic output, which could be required for simulating some chaotic behaviors. In a previous work, some of the authors have proposed the idea of walking into a $\mathsf{N}$-cube where a balanced Hamiltonian cycle has been removed as the basis of a chaotic PRNG. In this article, all the difficult issues observed in the previous work have been tackled. The chaotic behavior of the whole PRNG is proven. The construction of the balanced Hamiltonian cycle is theoretically and practically solved. An upper bound of the expected length of the walk to obtain a uniform distribution is calculated. Finally practical experiments show that the generators successfully pass the classical statistical tests.
