description: Finding the camera pose is an important step in many egocentric video applications. It has been widely reported that, state of the art SLAM algorithms fail on egocentric videos. In this paper, we propose a robust method for camera pose estimation, designed specifically for egocentric videos. In an egocentric video, the camera views the same scene point multiple times as the wearer's head sweeps back and forth. We use this specific motion profile to perform short loop closures aligned with wearer's footsteps. For egocentric videos, depth estimation is usually noisy. In an important departure, we use 2D computations for rotation averaging which do not rely upon depth estimates. The two modification results in much more stable algorithm as is evident from our experiments on various egocentric video datasets for different egocentric applications. The proposed algorithm resolves a long standing problem in egocentric vision and unlocks new usage scenarios for future applications.

MdfA - a model multidrug efflux pump for single-molecule investigations of transport
Creators: name: Nagy, Stephanie Sabina
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: MdfA is an Escherichia coli multidrug efflux pump that has a broad - substrate profile that encompasses cationic, neutral and zwitterionic antimicrobials. MdfA is proposed to operate by an alternating access mechanism, a major substrate translocation mechanism thought to occur throughout a diverse range of transport proteins. However, direct visual evidence for this transport mechanism has not been obtained for any protein. The aim of this research is to explore MdfA as a model for conducting single - molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (sm - FRET) experiments to allow for direct visualisation of the alternating access mechanism, by direct observation of fluorescent substrate transport in parallel with protein domain movement. A prerequisite for this work is to identify a highly fluorescent substrate. This thesis aimed to determine whether MdfA and a Cys - variant of MdfA designed for FRET studies can recognise and transport the highly fluorescent monovalent cation rhodamine 6G (R6G) using fluorescence binding and transport assays. The results demonstrate that R6G is a substrate of MdfA, and that the Cys - variant of MdfA retains sufficient activity as a model for future sm - FRET studies. Moreover, this thesis reports on the first direct visualisation of fluorescence transport mediated by a multidrug efflu x pump at the single - cell level in real - time.

From first witches to funny witches: early modern reinterpretations of Circe and Medea myths and the witches of Terry Pratchett's discworld
Creators: name: Goldsmith, Leeanne M.
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The story of the witch has always been about dangers presented by her nonconformity and resistance to gender expectations. This thesis initially traces the development of the two major strands of witch stereotypes, the dangerous seductress and the ugly old hag, from the first examples we have of them, in the myths of Circe and Medea, to reinterpretations of these myths in select early modern texts. The main focus of this part of the thesis is on ways in which early modern reinterpretations of Circe and Medea intersect with traditionally English witches of the hag variety, and how in turn this relates to marked reductions in the power witches were said to possess, often in conjunction with more humorous representations of these figures in early modern texts. The thesis thereupon argues that by the end of the seventeenth century, the witch stereotypes that would be such an influence on the fantasy fiction genre of modern times had clearly developed. As the thesis subsequently argues, Terry Pratchett’s witches interact with, manipulate, and frequently resist the story of the witch as an evil woman so prevalent in early modern texts and consequently in fantasy fiction up until the late nineteen eighties. The performative nature of witchcraft and gender is evident in the story of the witch at many points in history and literature, and Pratchett’s good witches, like contemporary feminists, resist and re-write the conventional story of what it is to be a witch or a woman.

description: Many complex oxides (including titanates, nickelates and cuprates) show a regime in which resistivity follows a power law in temperature ($ρ\propto T^2$). By analogy to a similar phenomenon observed in some metals at low temperature, this has often been attributed to electron-electron (Baber) scattering. We show that Baber scattering results in a $T^2$ power law only under several crucial assumptions which may not hold for complex oxides. We illustrate this with sodium metal ($ρ_\text{el-el}\propto T^2$) and strontium titanate ($ρ_\text{el-el}\not\propto T^2$). We conclude that an observation of $ρ\propto T^2$ is not sufficient evidence for electron-electron scattering.

description: Evidence of surface magnetism is now observed on an increasing number of cool stars. The detailed manner by which dynamo-generated magnetic fields giving rise to starspots traverse the convection zone still remains unclear. Some insight into this flux emergence mechanism has been gained by assuming bundles of magnetic field can be represented by idealized thin flux tubes (TFTs). Weber & Browning (2016) have recently investigated how individual flux tubes might evolve in a 0.3 solar-mass M dwarf by effectively embedding TFTs in time-dependent flows representative of a fully convective star. We expand upon this work by initiating flux tubes at various depths in the upper 50-75% of the star in order to sample the differing convective flow pattern and differential rotation across this region. Specifically, we comment on the role of differential rotation and time-varying flows in both the suppression and promotion of the magnetic flux emergence process.

Implantable antennas for medical wireless telemetry systems operating in the 900 MHz ISM band

Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis focuses on the development of a compact and efficient antenna as the most important factor in an implantable wireless biomedical telemetry system. Significant challenges exist in the UHF implementation because of the electromagnetic (EM) wave interactions with the surrounding biological tissue, complexity of the biological tissue, the need for antenna miniaturization, and power minimization of the implantable device and biocompatability requirements. This dissertation presents the designs, implementations and validations of a few implantable planar inverted-F antennas (I-PIFAs). They all have full ground planes, as opposed to the partial ground plane of the original free-space antenna for a RFID system under development, to maximize the energy radiated out of the body and to minimize that into the body. Yet the developed antennas are much smaller than the original free-space antenna located on a RFID tag. The antennas performance were evaluated by studying the bandwidth impedance, radiation pattern and input reflection coefficient characteristics inside the rat body model. To monitor a physiological signal (temperature) from rat skin remotely, one of the proposed antennas was attached to the implantable RFID tag circuit board. In addition, proximity feed technique was applied to the antennas for widening bandwidth (BW) as detuning of the operational frequency of the implanted antenna occurs due to the effect of bio-compatible coating material as well as rat tissue.

description: The pervasive imbalanced class distribution occurring in real-world stream applications, such as surveillance, security and finance, in which data arrive continuously has sparked extensive interest in the study of imbalanced stream classification. In such applications, the evolution of unstable class concepts is always accompanied and complicated by the skewed class distribution. However, most of the existing methods focus on either class imbalance problem or non-stationary learning problem, the combined approach of addressing both issues has enjoyed relatively little research. In this paper, we propose a hybrid framework for imbalanced stream learning that consists of three components: classifier updating, resampling and cost sensitive classifier. Based on the framework, we propose a hybrid learning algorithm to combine data-level and algorithm-level methods as well as classifier retraining mechanics to tackle class imbalance in data streams. Our experiments using real-world datasets and synthetic datasets show that our proposed hybrid learning algorithm can have better effectiveness and efficiency.

description: Advancement in information and communication technology (ICT) has given rise to explosion of data in every field of operations. Working with the enormous volume of data (or Big Data, as it is popularly known as) for extraction of useful information to support decision making is one of the sources of competitive advantage for organizations today. Enterprises are leveraging the power of analytics in formulating business strategy in every facet of their operations to mitigate business risk. Volatile global market scenario has compelled the organizations to redefine their supply chain management (SCM). In this paper, we have delineated the relevance of Big Data and its importance in managing end to end supply chains for achieving business excellence. A Big Data-centric architecture for SCM has been proposed that exploits the current state of the art technology of data management, analytics and visualization. The security and privacy requirements of a Big Data system have also been highlighted and several mechanisms have been discussed to implement these features in a real world Big Data system deployment in the context of SCM. Some future scope of work has also been pointed out. Keyword: Big Data, Analytics, Cloud, Architecture, Protocols, Supply Chain Management, Security, Privacy.

Cerebrospinal fluid flow into the spinal cord in a rat model of extradural constriction: a network of perivascular pathways
Creators: name: Berliner, Joel Anthony
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The understanding of how cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flows in and around central nervous system (CNS) tissue remains somewhat elusive. Historically, CSF was thought to flow around and within set structural boundaries of the CNS. More recently, a dynamic flow and exchange within neural tissue has been revealed. Of key interest is the role of perivascular pathways in fluid flow into and out of CNS tissue. In the brain, CSF has been reported to flow into tissue via periarterial pathways and out of tissue via perivenular pathways. The aim of this study was to determine whether the same flow pattern, or a notably different pattern, exists within the spinal cord. A C7 to T1 laminectomy was performed on 28 Sprague-Dawley rats. An extradural suture was tied around the spinal cord to obstruct CSF flow in 16 rats. The remaining animals were used as laminectomy-only controls. At 1 or 6 weeks post-surgery, animals were injected intracisternally with the fluorescent tracer Alexa-Fluor 647 ovalbumin and perfused 10 or 20 min after injection. Fixed and cryoprotected spinal segments were sectioned transversely and immunolabelled for smooth muscle actin and rat endothelial cell antigen. Fluorescent micrographs were taken and the distribution of tracer around arterioles, venules and capillaries was analysed. Intensity of gross grey matter and white matter tracer fluorescence showed that, at the 10 min time-point 6 weeks post-surgery, white matter in constriction animals (n = 5) had a significantly higher fluorescence intensity compared to the laminectomy-only animals (n = 3). Constriction animals in the same experimental group showed distribution of tracer around venules, arterioles and capillaries, whereas the control animals showed equivalent tracer distribution around arterioles and capillaries only. The results of this study suggest that an obstruction to CSF flow in the subarachnoid space may cause both increased fluid flow into the spinal cord and changes to the perivascular inflow pathways. Perivenular and pericapillary pathways, in addition to periarterial pathways, may act as an inflow route for CSF to the spinal cord tissue when the subarachnoid space is obstructed. Knowledge of the mechanics of normal and obstructed CSF physiology is necessary for understanding fluid accumulation pathologies, such as syringomyelia.

description: We use molecular dynamic simulations to investigate the relation between the presence of packing defects in a glass-former and the spontaneous cooperative motions called dynamic heterogeneity. For that purpose we use a simple diatomic glass-former and add a small number of larger or smaller diatomic probes. The diluted probes modify locally the packing, inducing structural defects in the liquid, while we find that the number of defects is small enough not to disturb the average structure. We find that a small packing modification around a few molecules can deeply influence the dynamics of the whole liquid, when supercooled. When we use small probe molecules, the dynamics accelerates and the dynamic heterogeneity decreases. In contrast, for large probes the dynamics slows down and the dynamic heterogeneity increases. The induced heterogeneities and transport coefficient modification increase when the temperature decreases and disappear around the onset temperature of the cage dynamics.

description: We address the problem of \emph{instance label stability} in multiple instance learning (MIL) classifiers. These classifiers are trained only on globally annotated images (bags), but often can provide fine-grained annotations for image pixels or patches (instances). This is interesting for computer aided diagnosis (CAD) and other medical image analysis tasks for which only a coarse labeling is provided. Unfortunately, the instance labels may be unstable. This means that a slight change in training data could potentially lead to abnormalities being detected in different parts of the image, which is undesirable from a CAD point of view. Despite MIL gaining popularity in the CAD literature, this issue has not yet been addressed. We investigate the stability of instance labels provided by several MIL classifiers on 5 different datasets, of which 3 are medical image datasets (breast histopathology, diabetic retinopathy and computed tomography lung images). We propose an unsupervised measure to evaluate instance stability, and demonstrate that a performance-stability trade-off can be made when comparing MIL classifiers.

Some examples of the application of the procedure are given. The method, of course, is able to recover all the conservation laws found by using the direct method; at the same time we can characterize which symmetry, if any, is responsible for the existence of a given conservation law. Some new local conservation laws for the Short Pulse equation and for the Fornberg Whitham equation are also determined.

description: The extended infomax algorithm for independent component analysis (ICA) can separate sub- and super-Gaussian signals but converges slowly as it uses stochastic gradient optimization. In this paper, an improved extended infomax algorithm is presented that converges much faster. Accelerated convergence is achieved by replacing the natural gradient learning rule of extended infomax by a fully-multiplicative orthogonal-group based update scheme of the unmixing matrix leading to an orthogonal extended infomax algorithm (OgExtInf). Computational performance of OgExtInf is compared with two fast ICA algorithms: the popular FastICA and Picard, a L-BFGS algorithm belonging to the family of quasi-Newton methods. Our results demonstrate superior performance of the proposed method on small-size EEG data sets as used for example in online EEG processing systems, such as brain-computer interfaces or clinical systems for spike and seizure detection.

description: Methane (CH₄) emission in wetlands is critical because CH₄ has 25 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide (CO₂), and wetlands play a critical role in global carbon cycling. Using flux chambers this research investigated CH4 emissions in three wetland zones in the Macquarie Marshes: reed bed, dry floodplain and dryland. Methane emissions were highly heterogenous and CH₄ production only occurred in the reed bed (1.73E+01 kg ha⁻¹ d⁻¹). In contrast, CH₄ was oxidised in the dry floodplain (-1.03E-03 kg ha⁻¹ d⁻¹) and there was no production or oxidation of CH₄ in the dryland. Methane flux was strongly correlated with in situ moisture content. The median isotopic signature of CH₄ (δ¹³C;-56.3±2.36 ‰) agrees with wetlands globally and can be used in regional mixing models. The reed bed (809.h ha) has the potential to release 4.97E-03 Tg yr⁻¹, and an equivalent area of dry floodplain could oxidise -2.97E-07 Tg yr⁻¹, yielding a net CH₄ flux of 4.97E-03 Tg yr¹. The results demonstrate for the first time that freshwater floodplain wetlands in dry landscapres can both sequester and emit CH₄, and that where freshwater floodplainwetlands emit CH₄ the rate is comparable to coastal mangroves.

description: We consider the a posteriori error analysis of fully discrete approximations of parabolic problems based on conforming $hp$-finite element methods in space and an arbitrary order discontinuous Galerkin method in time. Using an equilibrated flux reconstruction, we present a posteriori error estimates yielding guaranteed upper bounds on the $L^2(H^1)$-norm of the error, without unknown constants and without restrictions on the spatial and temporal meshes. It is known from the literature that the analysis of the efficiency of the estimators represents a significant challenge for $L^2(H^1)$-norm estimates. Here we show that the estimator is bounded by the $L^2(H^1)$-norm of the error plus the temporal jumps under the one-sided parabolic condition $h^2 \lesssim τ$. This result improves on earlier works that required stronger two-sided hypotheses such as $h \simeq τ$ or $h^2\simeq τ$; instead our result now encompasses the practically relevant case for computations and allows for locally refined spatial meshes. The constants in our bounds are robust with respect to the mesh and time-step sizes, the spatial polynomial degrees, and also with respect to refinement and coarsening between time-steps, thereby removing any transition condition.

description: The aim of this study is to introduce an application that enables information sharing and communication between visually-impaired individuals and able-bodied. For the purposes of the study, web-based audio library automation was designed and the usability of the system was analyzed regarding the volunteers who record audio books and the visually-impaired individuals. The visually-impaired individuals who took part in the test procedures in order to make a general evaluation of the system reported that the system was theoretically necessary and successful. As for the usability aspect, positive comments were received regarding the automation system developed. The authors believe that the current study is likely to be an alternative reference source for the related literature and further research studies to be conducted in the field.

description: Grid-based hydrodynamics simulations of circumstellar disks are often performed in the curvilinear coordinate system, in which the center of the computational domain coincides with the motionless star. However, the center of mass may be shifted from the star due to the presence of any non-axisymmetric mass distribution. As a result, the system exerts a gravity force on the star, causing the star to move in response, which can affect the evolution of the circumstellar disk. We aim at studying the effects of stellar motion on the evolution of protostellar and protoplanetary disks. In protostellar disks, a non-axisymmetric distribution of matter in the form of spiral arms or massive clumps can form due to gravitational instability. Protoplanetary disks can also feature non-axisymmetric structures caused by a high-mass planet or a large-scale vortex. We use 2D grid-based hydrodynamic simulations to explore the effect of stellar motion. We adopt a non-inertial polar coordinate system centered on the star, in which the stellar motion is taken into account by calculating the indirect potential caused by the non-axisymmetric disk, a high-mass planet, or a large-scale vortex. We found that the stellar motion has a moderate effect on the evolution history in protostellar disks, reducing somewhat the disk size and mass, while having a profound effect on the collapsing envelope, changing its inner shape from an initially axisymmetric to a non-axisymmetric configuration. Protoplanetary disk simulations show that the stellar motion slightly reduces the width of the gap opened by a high-mass planet, decreases the planet migration rate, and strengthens the large-scale vortices formed at the viscosity transition. We conclude that the inclusion of the indirect potential is recommended in grid-based hydrodynamics simulations of circumstellar disks which use the curvilinear coordinate system.

Implications of miniaturisation in ants on their vision and visual navigation

description: Miniaturisation is the evolution of extremely small body size compared to their ancestors, reduction beyond which is constrained due to design limitations. Miniaturisation is commonly observed in many animals, including arthropods. It affects morphological features, nervous system, physiology and ecology of the animal. Typically, miniaturisation leads to simplification, modification or loss of organs. As a consequence of their smaller sensory organs and absolute brain size, miniaturisation is hypothesised to result in inferior behavioural capabilities. However, unifying behavioural measures testing the hypothesis are lacking. Ants present an ideal study system to test this, since irrespective of their size, individuals face similar challenges, especially during visual navigation. In this thesis, I aim to empirically test whether miniaturisation in ants affects their vision and visual navigation behaviours. I begin with a systematic review and a meta-analysis to identify the implications of miniaturisation on vision, brain neuropils and visual navigation in insects (Chapter 1). Using a comparative approach, I studied ants of different sizes to determine how a reduction in the number of ommatidia and the size of the lens affects spatial resolution and contrast sensitivity. I show that miniaturisation decreases contrast sensitivity and spatial resolution in ants (Chapter 2). Spatial resolution is important in detecting obstacles/landmarks during navigation. I demonstrate that the reduced spatial resolution affects obstacle detection behaviour in homing ants (Chapter3). Once ants are close to their home, they pinpoint its entrance using landmarks. In an Australian bull ant Myrmecia pyriformis, I tested whether reduced body/eye size affects this behaviour. I show that a reduced size within-colony does not affect their ability to learn and use a nest-associated landmark (Chapter 4). A fundamental form of navigation involves following a compass. Using a behavioural experiment, I illustrate that this ability is not affected by a reduced number of ommatidia, suggesting that high spatial resolution may not be necessary for this behaviour (Chapter 5). Thus both physiological and behavioural studies show that there is a clear effect of miniaturisation on the animal's spatial vision and obstacle avoidance behaviour. However, miniaturisation did not affect the ability to pinpoint landmarks or to use a compass. These findings add to our understanding of the evolution of miniature ants which may be capable of various visual navigation behaviours in spite of limited sensory abilities.

description: Correlations of different azimuthal flow harmonics $v_n$ and symmetry planes $Ψ_n$ can add constraints to theoretical models, and probe aspects of the system that are independent of the traditional single-harmonic measurements. Using NeXSPheRIO, a hydrodynamical model which has accurately reproduced a large set of single-harmonic correlations at RHIC, we make predictions of these new observables for 200 A GeV Au+Au Collisions, providing an important baseline for comparison to correlations of flow harmonics, which contain non-trivial information about the initial state. We also point out how to properly compare theoretical calculations to measurements using wide centrality bins and non-trivial event weighting.

description: Families who home educate their gifted children have received scant research attention. Participants (N = 42) were Australian parents of children identified as gifted or high ability who had experienced both school and home education environments. An online survey assessed factors contributing to the decision to home educate and measured parent perceptions of their child's engagement and access to gifted education practices in school and in home education. The most common factor in the decision to home educate was parents' dissatisfaction with school, which included their child's affective responses, school or teacher failure to meet gifted learning needs, and absence of challenge. Paired-samples t-tests indicated significantly greater parent-perceived emotional engagement (p < .001) and cognitive engagement (p < .001) in home education compared to school. In home education settings parents reported children were supported, engaged and motivated, and curriculum was delivered at the required pace and challenge level. Parent perceptions were useful indicators of engagement and access to gifted practices, which suggests a need to address the cognitive and emotional needs of children who are gifted in school.
The role of counsel in Hobbes' political thought

description: In all of Thomas Hobbes’ political writings, counsel plays some role. It is either directly explored as a concept, as it is for example in The Elements of Law and Leviathan, or it is used as an instrument of analysis, as it is in Behemoth. Yet, despite this, there is currently no large scale survey of the role counsel plays in Hobbes’ political thought. This thesis aims to address this gap. Counsel is one of several forms of political language Hobbes discusses. Another, more famous form is that of command. Command acts as the forerunner of law and travels downhill from Sovereign to Subjects. One reason for this unidirectional path is that a command imparts obligations upon those commanded and Hobbes’ sovereign cannot be obligated by its subjects. Counsel, unlike command, does not create any form of obligation, and as such, it is not required to travel the same one-way path. Counsel, in other words, is a form of political language which gives subjects a voice to use in communicating with their sovereign. Exploring the role of counsel in Hobbes’ political thought provides us with a more nuanced picture of how Hobbes himself saw the practical operations of the civil society he proposed. Specifically, as this thesis shows, by exploring the role of counsel we are provided with a platform to review both the relationship between sovereign and subject as well as the relationship between morality and politics in Hobbes’ thought.
