Backward, British and bland? a cultural history of food in mid-twentieth century Australia
Creators: name: Junor, Andrew John
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The food Australians ate immediately prior to the 1950s has been popularly remembered in stark contrast to post-Second World War gastronomic upheaval: as a plain, stodgy, monocultural prelude to the increasing diversity and sophistication of food in the second half of the twentieth century. What cultural values did Australians of the 1930s and 1940s attach to food, however? How were the meanings of food understood and contested within the contemporary context of class relations, economic austerity, ethnic identity, regional variation, and gendered social and family roles? And how was the predominant British-derived ‘meat and three veg’ diet implicated in broader notions of Australia’s cultural development and national progress? This study examines these questions in relation to the food culture of 1930s and 1940s Australia and its disputed remembrance in the post-Second World War decades. There have been many excellent academic and non-scholarly empirical studies of twentieth century Australian eating habits and culinary trends. The intended contribution of this study is to step back from questions of food consumption patterns to explore how mid-twentieth century eating habits interacted with broader cultural meanings and social identities. These questions are important, as they address the wider post-war management of White Australia’s cultural memory and the reassuring role food came to have in national storytelling. Although the multicultural culinary revolution deserves its historical prominence, pre-1950s eating habits are better understood as the product of economic austerity, British cultural dominance and the restriction of women’s labour to the home. When these three factors were eroded in postwar life, the old food culture began its popular association with the perceived sins and simplicity of a fading White Australia. This thesis adopts a cultural history approach, constituting a set of linked, illuminating case studies. The research methodology embraces sources that offer evidence of meaning-making in relation to food: diaries, letters, memoirs, oral histories, contemporary print media and government reports. These sources demonstrate that 1930s and 1940s Australians understood food in complex and contested ways. As much of this source material has yet to be examined by historians of food, it is hoped this study will open new avenues of inquiry in the burgeoning field of Australian food history. This primary research is contextualised within secondary scholarship from the fields of food history, food studies, feminist history, gender studies, migrant history, urban history, oral history, media history, as well as broader works of Australian social and cultural history. This engagement with historiographical questions and traditions beyond the food history field is intended to emphasise the non-culinary significance of food and the broader historical contexts within which issues of food history can be analysed.
Decostruire il Bildungsideal di Pestalozzi

description: Abstract – We propose a reading of the Pestalozzi’s corpus aimed at demonstrating how this scene of writing, apparently convoluted and confused, is deconstructed in a heterogeneity of metaphysical pedagogical models but also in what overflows them. That “différance” that crosses the texts in the guise of the logic of the supplement, which disarranges the classical antinomies of pedagogy but, at the same time, contributes to the construction of a complex Bildungsideal that seems to function as a text. Riassunto – Proponiamo una lettura del corpus pestalozziano volta a dimostrare come questa scena della scrittura, apparentemente involuta e confusa, si riveli decostruita in un’eterogeneità di modelli pedagogici metafisici ma anche in ciò che li deborda, ovvero la “différance” che attraversando i testi, in veste di logica del supplemento, scompagina le antinomie classiche della pedagogia ma, al contempo, contribuisce alla costruzione di un Bildungsideal complesso che funziona come un testo.

Factors influencing metaphor translation in online cosmetic advertising in the context of the PRC

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis examines metaphor translation from English to Mandarin in online cosmetic advertisements in the recent socio-cultural and historical context of the People's Republic of China. This examination of metaphor translation occurs at the level of discourse. In this thesis, discourse is understood as the linguistic representation of metaphor for persuasive and localised communicative purposes. In my study, I argue that in the translation of these online cosmetic advertisements, the trans-created metaphors construct cultural representations of thinking and life experiences intended to transmit cultural values and to shape or maintain identities for the target female Chinese consumers of the advertised cosmetic products.

description: Stable supercritical-flow bedform phases under two-dimensional steady flow are geometrically simple and include long-wavelength cyclic steps at high Froude numbers and antidunes characterized by in-phase flow that is near critical. Less well understood are the transitional bedform phases at the boundaries of the stable bedform fields and bedforms developing in complex flow geometries like the channel–lobe transition zone. This complexity is exacerbated by the fact that natural flows are never steady. Stable antidune bedforms may be reworked by temporally increasing discharge into chute and pool, and cyclic step and chute and pool fields will be reworked into antidunes if discharge is sufficiently decreasing. In addition, the channel–lobe transition zone is continuously evolving in space and time due to the influence of solitary hydraulic jumps at the channel mouth on channel extension and back stepping. This detailed outcrop study of a deep-water delta slope belonging to the Eocene Sant Llorenç del Munt clastic wedge exposed near El Pont de Vilomara (north-east Spain), tackles the complex bedform architecture problems by applying a method previously developed for fluvial deposits. Analysis of surfaces traced on high-definition, drone-derived in-strike images combines architectural studies with facies analysis. Set boundaries of the bedforms were thus established, revealing the upslope migration of hydraulic jump zones and the intricate stacking of antidunes and solitary, mouthbar related chute and pool like structures. Further analysis of the stacking of bedforms and bounding surfaces provide evidence that deposition occurred in a relatively short (few hundreds of metres) channel–lobe transition zone at the base of the delta slope. The usefulness of the bounding surface hierarchy approach for turbidite deposits lies in the careful evaluation of the spatial extent of bounding surfaces, which are easily overlooked in complex architectures such as those created in the channel–lobe transition zone.
Investigation of the final steps in mitochondrial complex I biogenesis

Mitochondrial complex I is the first enzyme complex of the oxidative phosphorylation system. In order to achieve its enzymatic function in human mitochondria, a total number of 44 subunits need to be assembled correctly to form the mature 980 kDa complex. Studies into complex I biogenesis have outlined this process by identifying a number of assembly intermediates and several assembly factors that are involved in this process. However to fully understand complex I biogenesis, a detailed characterisation of each assembly intermediate and a function study of each assembly factor is still required. The work presented in this thesis focuses on the characterisation of proteins involved in the late stage of complex I biogenesis. Fibroblasts from Leigh Syndrome patients with mutations in NDUFAF2 leading to complex I deficiency were utilized to characterise Ndufaf2. Analysing protein assembly profiles over time, an ~830 kDa subcomplex was noticed undergoing rapid biogenesis. This complex was then found to be unstable as it disassembled into a ~600 kDa complex containing the majority of membrane located complex I subunits. The results demonstrate that Ndufaf2 plays a key role in stabilising the ~830 kDa assembly intermediate and aids its progression into mature complex I. Further analysis revealed a putative ATP/GTP binding motif in Ndufaf2 sequence, however, it appears dispensable for its function in complex I biogenesis. Interestingly, the generation and characterisation of cells lacking the complex I subunit NDUFA9 also revealed a similar defective complex I assembly phenotype with Ndufaf2 patient fibroblasts. Analyses revealed that NDUFA9 is a structural subunit that stabilises the junction between the membrane and matrix arm of complex I. Additionally, results also indicate that the incorporation NDUFA9 follows the association of Ndufaf2 with the ~830 kDa intermediate. The biogenesis of complex is a very delicate process; the malfunction of any subunits or assembly factors can lead to its mis-assembly. This thesis demonstrates that defective cell line studies are an effective method for investigating protein interaction and function, and their impact upon complex I biogenesis.

description: Contexte et objectifs. Le nombre de signalements d’événements indésirables liés aux cathéters midlines a augmenté depuis 2018 à l’hôpital de Saint-Lô, et une surveillance annuelle a été mise en place. Matériel et méthodes. Les midlines sont posés par les anesthésistes en salle de réveil. Le planning du bloc opératoire a permis d’établir la liste des patients inclus dans l’étude via leurs dossiers informatisés. Le suivi a été réalisé de janvier 2019 à juin 2021 inclus. Résultats. 185, 195 et 191 midlines ont été suivis, respectivement en 2019, 2020 et 2021. L’indication majoritaire est le mauvais capital veineux et l’antibiothérapie. Les complications relevées comprennent par fréquence décroissante les déplacements, obstructions, infections bactériémiques, saignements, thromboses, infections locales, extravasations et hématomes. Le taux d’incidence des infections bactériémiques a évolué de 1,74 pour 1 000 jours-cathéter en 2019 à 1,38 en 2020 puis 0,79 en 2021. La surveillance doit être poursuivie pour confirmer la baisse des infections liées aux midlines. La nutrition parentérale est un facteur de risque possible. Des actions d’amélioration ont été menées : formations, révision de protocole, achat de nouveaux matériels… Conclusion. Le taux de complications liées aux midlines n’est pas négligeable. C’est pourquoi une sensibilisation des personnels infirmiers a été effectuée à l’antisepsie et au rinçage pulsé, et des praticiens et internes aux indications et à la durée de pose des midlines. Le protocole a par ailleurs été révisé et diffusé suite aux recommandations de 2019. Cette surveillance épidémiologique confirme l’importance de l’évaluation des pratiques et de l’accompagnement de toute mise en place de nouveaux dispositifs et protocoles.

description: Arbeit an unseren eigenen Körpern verrichten wir alle täglich – diese wird aber erst dann sichtbar, wenn sie nicht mehr stattfindet. Die Sichtbarkeit von Arbeit an Körpern ist exnegativo – wie unten angeführtes Meme aus dem ersten Corona- Lockdown im Frühjahr 2020 zeigt. Diese Unsichtbarkeit ist ein wesentliches Merkmal der Arbeit am eigenen Körper, auch und gerade dann, wenn sie kommodifiziert und externalisiert wird. Die Unsichtbarkeit der Arbeit liegt auf verschiedenen Ebenen – in ihrem Gegenstand, ihrer Organisation, ihrer Affektivität sowie ihrer Historie und hat weitreichende Folgen für die Prekarität der Arbeit. In Kosmetik- und Nagelstudios wird die Bearbeitung von Haut, Haaren und Nägeln als Dienstleistung verkauft. Diese Form der Arbeit ist Gegenstand meiner Dissertation, für die ich die Arbeit in Kosmetikstudios ethnografisch erforscht habe. Meine These ist, dass sich in der körperlichen und emotionalen Intimität von Dienstleistungen eine spezifische Form der Prekarität realisiert, die sich anhand der Praxis der Arbeit nachvollziehen lässt.

description: We report the design and test results of a beam monitor developed for online monitoring in hadron therapy. The beam monitor uses eight silicon pixel sensors, \textit{Topmetal-${II}^-$}, as the anode array. \textit{Topmetal-${II}^-$} is a charge sensor designed in a CMOS 0.35 $μ$m technology. Each \textit{Topmetal-${II}^-$} sensor has $72\times72$ pixels and the pixel size is $83\times83$ $μ$m$^2$. In our design, the beam passes through the beam monitor without hitting the electrodes, making the beam monitor especially suitable for monitoring heavy ion beams. This design also reduces radiation damage to the beam monitor itself. The beam monitor is tested with a carbon ion beam at the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou (HIRFL). Results indicate that the beam monitor can measure position, incidence angle and intensity of the beam with a position resolution better than 20 $μ$m, angular resolution about 0.5$^\circ$ and intensity statistical accuracy better than 2$\%$.

description: We study differential cross sections for the production of three and four jets in multi-Regge kinematics, the main interest lying on azimuthal angle dependences. The theoretical setup is the jet production from a single BFKL ladder with a convolution of two/three BFKL Green functions, where two forward/backward jets are always tagged in the final state. Furthermore, we require the tagging of one/two further jets in more central regions of the detectors with a relative separation in rapidity. We found, as result, that the dependence on transverse momenta and rapidities of the central jets can be considered as a distinct signal of the onset of BFKL dynamics.

description: Abstract – In this paper I analyze the normative sense of the idea of education proposed by Kant within the frame of his Pedagogical Lessons. My main goal is to show that this idea, conceived as a regulative and normative principle, should guide every project of transformation of the educative system. Kant states that, despite the obstacles that faces the realization of the idea of education, we should be confident that progress of the human race is possible, since the practical domain demands that we consider as relevant, not what effectively happens, but only what should happen. The theoretical reflection on education and its fundamental purposes should be assumed as the most important task within the frame of pedagogical thinking.

description: This article contains a summary of the White Paper submitted in 2019 to the ESA Voyage 2050 process, which was subsequently published in EPJ Quantum Technology (AEDGE Collaboration et al. EPJ Quant. Technol. 7,6 2020). We propose in this White Paper a concept for a space experiment using cold atoms to search for ultra-light dark matter, and to detect gravitational waves in the frequency range between the most sensitive ranges of LISA and the terrestrial LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA/INDIGO experiments. This interdisciplinary experiment, called Atomic Experiment for Dark Matter and Gravity Exploration (AEDGE), will also complement other planned searches for dark matter, and exploit synergies with other gravitational wave detectors. We give examples of the extended range of sensitivity to ultra-light dark matter offered by AEDGE, and how its gravitational-wave measurements could explore the assembly of super-massive black holes, first-order phase transitions in the early universe and cosmic strings. AEDGE will be based upon technologies now being developed for terrestrial experiments using cold atoms, and will benefit from the space experience obtained with, e.g., LISA and cold atom experiments in microgravity.

Activism, conflict, and the Islamic public sphere in Indonesia: the enlightenment project of Jalaluddin Rakhmat
Creators: name: Matin, Usep Abdul
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis focuses on Indonesia’s Islamic public sphere and a significant contributor to it over the last four decades, Jalaluddin Rakhmat. He was born in 1949 into a highly conservative Sunnite religious milieu, and began to gradually embrace Shi`ite thought and identity as an adult in 1982. Earlier studies have focused on Rakhmat's Shi`ism, which has been the cause of controversy in predominantly Sunnite Indonesia. This thesis differs from those studies in its attempt to discern a broader program in Rakhmat's career. That is to say, I locate Rakhmat's Shi'ism not as an end in itself, but as a core element of a broader project, which I call his 'enlightenment project'. This label is based on the terms used by Rakhmat himself to describe and explain his activities. I identify three connected elements in Rakhmat's project: activism, conflict and the public sphere. Activism has been a constant thread in his career, manifesting in a growing range of initiatives, publications, organisations and educational infrsatructure. Conflict is generated when Islamic actors respond to his activism, and most commonly to his advocacy of Shi'ite ideas and concepts. The public sphere is the setting for the resultant dialogical exchanges. Indonesian Muslims view publication and broadcasts of his adversarial dialogues, and in this way, Rakhmat's project of enlightenment gains a foothold (and is also rejected) by Indonesian Muslims. As other Islamic actors are drawn to attract or oppose him, Indonesia's Islamic public sphere is reshaped. I have based these findings on my own fieldwork in Bandung, Jakarta and Makassar, on published and unpublished documents, digital video discs (DVDs), Rakhmat’s books, his fellow activists’ works, live recordings of his speeches and sermons, and his al-Tanwir bulletin. These media reveal the dynamics of the debates and dialogical exchanges in the Islamic public sphere between Rakhmat and his opponents. I have shown that the media as well as Rakhmat’s activist and educational institutions are all used as tools in his project to enlighten Islamic thought in Indonesia. This enables me to contextualise his Shi'ism. He uses his Shi`ite minority status to produce a call for pluralism inspired by the charismatic abilities of Murtaḍā Muṭahharī. These abilities include openness and non-sectarianism, forbearance towards other faiths, reconciliation of knowledge, a positive outlook on social change, adherence to mission, leadership, and productivity in writing and publication.
Cosmological particle-in-cell simulations with ultralight axion dark matter

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)

description: We study cosmological structure formation with ultralight axion dark matter, or "fuzzy dark matter (FDM), using a particle-mesh scheme to account for the quantum pressure arising in the Madelung formulation of the Schrödinger-Poisson equations. Subpercent-level energy conservation and correct linear behavior are demonstrated. Whereas the code gives rise to the same core-halo profiles as direct simulations of the Schrödinger equation, it does not reproduce the detailed interference patterns. In cosmological simulations with FDM initial conditions, we find a maximum relative difference of O($10\%$) in the power spectrum near the quantum Jeans length compared to using a standard N-body code with identical initial conditions. This shows that the effect of quantum pressure during nonlinear structure formation cannot be neglected for precision constraints on a dark matter component consisting of ultralight axions.

Foreign direct investment and locality: a case study of French multinational in Aceh, Indonesia.
Creators: name: Yahya, Azhari
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis is about localised responses to a Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) project located in the Aceh Besar District of Indonesia. It is intended as an inquiry into how locality is created by the encroachment of the FDI project and how locality motivates responses and strategies by local people. The FDI project in question is the Indonesian operation of a French cement multinational, Lafarge Cement Indonesia (hereafter called LCI). This company started to produce cement for domestic and export use in the 1980s, attracted to the region by the stocks of limestone found there. Since that time, it cannot be denied that the project has delivered on many of the promises of benefit that proponents of FDI associate with such projects. The project has endured, along with local subjects, a natural disaster of unprecedented proportions in 2004 when a tsunami struck the region, causing around 300,000 deaths in all of Aceh and untold destruction. But at the same time, the project has brought disruptions at the local level that are concealed in the statistics frequently marshalled to justify the benefit of FDI projects at national level. These statistics obscure local conditions. Through an intensive ethnographic study of the communities in the vicinity of the project, and through deliberations based on interpretations of locality in the anthropological and development literature (especially the World Bank concept of ‘Place Premium’), I examine the role of locality in these disruptions and responses to them by local actors. I argue that global civil society (represented by a local NGO, the United Community Committee), and the Lafarge Corporate Social Responsibility program, have provided locals with ‘weapons’ through which their locality can be mobilised to achieve benefits from the FDI project.
title: Millimetre-wave optically injection-locked oscillators for radio-over-fibre systems
Creators: name: Wang, Xu
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: Theoretical analysis and experimental results for millimetre-wave optically injection-locked oscillators are presented in this thesis. Such oscillators can be employed to replace conventional photodiode plus amplifier receivers for local oscillator signal reception in millimetre-wave radio-over-fibre systems. The theories for electrical injection-locked oscillators are reviewed in detail. Three differences between Adler’s and Kurokawa’s equations for locking bandwidth are highlighted for the first time. These differences are the absence of l/cos# factor in Adler’s equation, larger bandwidth predicted by Kurokawa’s equation, and a difference in definition of Q factors. Locking bandwidth equations for optically injection-locked oscillators are developed based on the theories of electrical injection-locked oscillators and are then used to design optically injection-locked oscillators. A novel millimetre-wave indirect optically injection-locked oscillator is presented. An edge-coupled photodiode is used to detect the optical signal. Negative resistance and computer simulation techniques were used for predicting the free running oscillation frequency. The maximum output power of the oscillator is 5.3 dBm, and the maximum locking bandwidth is measured to be 2.6 MHz with an output power o f-12 dBm. Results from a comparison with conventional optical receivers show that the gain of the optically injection-locked oscillator is more than 10 dB higher than that of a photodiode plus amplifier receiver, that the oscillator output power remains constant with input signal power variations whereas the output power of the photodiode plus amplifier receiver changes (linearly) with the input signal power, and that, at high-offset frequencies, the phase noise of the optically injection-locked oscillator is much lower than that of the photodiode plus amplifier receiver. These advantages make the optically injection-locked oscillator an ideal replacement for the photodiode plus amplifier receiver in radio-over-fibre systems. An improved wide-band design for millimetre-wave optically injection-locked oscillators is presented for future work.
Translating neighbours: history, communication and translation in the Australian-Indonesian relationship
Creators: name: Thomas, Paul
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis examines the role of translation and language in the Australian-Indonesian relationship as a contribution to the history of communication between the two nations. It is presented as a collection of five publications. The first three publications are concerned with Australia’s cultural and linguistic contact with Indonesia before its proclamation of independence in 1945; the fourth with Australia’s diplomatic and strategic application of the Indonesian language during the Cold War; and the fifth with the post-war promotion of the Indonesian English-language press as a response to international reportage of its affairs and a means of translating its voice for its immediate neighbours, including Australia. Australia’s cultural, economic and political interactions with Indonesia rely substantially on the tempering of difference through communication which is receptive to each other’s knowledge, ideas and view of the world. How this has been enabled over time is a primary question of this thesis and is examined through the translational processes that commonly lay behind the communication. The role and agency of translators/interpreters as intermediaries in this exchange are emphasised in order to examine the culture of contact that arises in any given historical interaction. Translation is viewed as a cultural and political activity capable of creating a negotiated space in which culture and knowledge can be shared and exchanged. The presence of the translator/interpreter at historical events confirms the opportunity for this exchange to take place while providing a renewed perspective from the margins.

description: The gravity field maps of the satellite gravimetry missions Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and GRACE Follow-On are derived by means of precise orbit determination. The key observation is the biased inter-satellite range, which is measured primarily by a K-Band Ranging system (KBR) in GRACE and GRACE Follow-On. The GRACE Follow-On satellites are additionally equipped with a Laser Ranging Interferometer (LRI), which provides measurements with lower noise compared to the KBR. The biased range of KBR and LRI needs to be converted for gravity field recovery into an instantaneous range, i.e. the biased Euclidean distance between the satellites’ center-of-mass at the same time. One contributor to the difference between measured and instantaneous range arises due to the nonzero travel time of electro-magnetic waves between the spacecraft. We revisit the calculation of the light time correction (LTC) from first principles considering general relativistic effects and state-of-the-art models of Earth’s potential field. The novel analytical expressions for the LTC of KBR and LRI can circumvent numerical limitations of the classical approach. The dependency of the LTC on geopotential models and on the parameterization is studied, and afterwards the results are compared against the LTC provided in the official datasets of GRACE and GRACE Follow-On. It is shown that the new approach has a significantly lower noise, well below the instrument noise of current instruments, especially relevant for the LRI, and even if used with kinematic orbit products. This allows calculating the LTC accurate enough even for the next generation of gravimetric missions.

description: Long-term BVRI photometric light curves of the pre-main sequence stars V977 Cep and V982 Cep during the period from 2000 October to 2016 August are presented. The stars are located in the vicinity of the reflection nebula NGC 7129. Our photometric data show that both stars exhibit strong photometric variability in all optical passbands, which is typical for Classical T Tauri stars. Using our observational data we analyze the reasons for the observed brightness variations. In the case of V977 Cep we identify previously unknown periodicity in its light curve.

Zur Bildung der Menschheit. A proposito della polemica Kant-Herder
Creators: name: Formisano, Roberto
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Ferrara
Year: 2020

description: Abstract – The paper deals with the problem of the Bildung, in the frame offered by Kant’s and Herder’s controversy on history. The radical opposition between these two irreconcilable conceptions on the problem of the destination of humankind (of his "progress" and his "emancipation") reflects their different way of interpreting the spirit of the Aufklärung. The paper aims to provide a reconstruction of both points of view by focusing on the concepts of humanity, nature and history. Riassunto – L’articolo affronta la questione della Bildung attraverso alcuni spunti offerti dalla polemica che vide direttamente coinvolte le filosofie di Kant e Herder, in merito al problema della storia. Lo scontro esplicito tra queste due filosofie costituisce in effetti la rappresentazione plastica di un’opposizione radicale tra due concezioni inconciliabili sul problema della formazione e della destinazione del genere umano (del suo “progresso” e della sua “emancipazione”), alla cui base è il diverso atteggiamento nei confronti dello spirito dell’Aufklärung. L’obiettivo di questo saggio è di fornire allora una ricostruzione dei rispettivi punti di vista focalizzandolo sui concetti di umanità, natura e storia. Keywords – Reason, Freedom, Criticism, Culture, Progress of Humankind, Historical Teleology, Bildung Parole chiave – Ragione, Libertà, Criticismo, Cultura, Progresso dell’umanità, Teleologia storica, Bildung

Do you work with data organized in tables? Do you usually spend more time on data cleansing and data quality improvement than on data analysis? If you can answer YES to these questions, it's worth taking a look at the free open-source tool OpeRefine. In this Coffee Lecture we will give you a short overview of the possibilities OpenRefine offers to improve the quality of your data.

The terms 'disaster recovery' and 'point-in-time recovery' are used in a rather pragmatic mannar for considerations about the features of a bunch of software tools for backing up data, including a slightly closer look at Nextcloud and Duplicati.

Perfect transmission invisibility for waveguides with sound hard walls

description: We are interested in a time harmonic acoustic problem in a waveguide with locally perturbed sound hard walls. We consider a setting where an observer generates incident plane waves at $-\infty$ and probes the resulting scattered field at $-\infty$ and $+\infty$. Practically, this is equivalent to measure the reflection and transmission coefficients respectively denoted $R$ and $T$. In [9], a technique has been proposed to construct waveguides with smooth walls such that $R=0$ and $|T|=1$ (non reflection). However the approach fails to ensure $T=1$ (perfect transmission without phase shift). In this work, first we establish a result explaining this observation. More precisely, we prove that for wavenumbers smaller than a given bound $k_{\star}$ depending on the geometry, we cannot have $T=1$ so that the observer can detect the presence of the defect if he/she is able to measure the phase at $+\infty$. In particular, if the perturbation is smooth and small (in amplitude and in width), $k_{\star}$ is very close to the threshold wavenumber. Then, in a second step, we change the point of view and, for a given wavenumber, working with singular perturbations of the domain, we show how to obtain $T=1$. In this case, the scattered field is exponentially decaying both at $-\infty$ and $+\infty$. We implement numerically the method to provide examples of such undetectable defects.

Physiological N-end rule substrates in E. coli and the molecular details of their ClpS-mediated degradation by ClpAP
Creators: name: Ottofuelling, Ralf Dieter
Publisher: name: La Trobe

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the Department of Biochemistry, School of Molecular Sciences, Faculty of Science, Technology and Engineering, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

The N-end rule is a highly conserved, hierarchical protein degradation pathway that relates the half-life of a protein to its N-terminal residue. Although the physiological role of this pathway remains unclear in E. coli, many of the components of the pathway are well defined. Proteins degraded by this pathway contain an N-terminal recognition motif (referred to as an N-degron) that is composed of a primary destabilising residue (Leu, Phe, Trp or Tyr) and an unstructured region containing a hydrophobic motif. In general, N-degron bearing substrates are thought to be generated by an endoproteolytic cleavage. In some cases, the cleaved protein may also be modified by the enzyme LFTR in a non-ribosomal manner. Regardless of their mode of generation, all N-degron bearing substrates are recognised by the adaptor protein (ClpS) and delivered to protease ClpAP, for degradation. To date, only two physiological, N-degron bearing substrates have been verified (i.e. PATase and Dps) one of which is modified by LFTR, in a non-conventional manner. In this study the substrate proteome of LFTR has been determined. From this proteome, one protein (AldB) was modified by an uncharacterised activity of LFTR. The new specificity of LFTR was confirmed in vitro, using a range of peptide and protein substrates. Importantly, this modification of AldB is essential for its ClpAPS-mediated turnover, in vitro. In addition, a systematic analysis of the LFTR specificity using a peptide array, revealed that positively charged residues in the penultimate position favour conjugation, while negatively charged residues disfavour conjugation. Finally, mutational studies and structural analysis of several putative physiological N-end rule substrates identified that only one class of substrates requires the hydrophobic motif for delivery to ClpAP. Proteins containing a N-terminal helix require the hydrophobic motif while proteins lacking an N-terminal helix use an alternative mechanism of delivery.
