description: We determined detailed U–Pb ages for zircons in migmatitic granites densely exposed in the Namche Barwa peak (NBP) area, the core area of the eastern Himalayan syntaxis (EHS). The cores of these zircons show ages ranging from 863 to 1,256 Ma, with high Th/U ratios. These ages correspond to the crystallization age of the Proterozoic Indian continental basement. The majority of zircon rims from these migmatitic granites yield a significant age peak at about 8 Ma with an increase in Th/U ratios, suggesting that a large-scale partial crustal melting event occurred at 8 Ma in the NBP area. Because thermochronologic results have demonstrated that a rapid denudation started around 8 Ma, we interpret this large-scale partial melting of the crust as a decompression melting caused by rapid denudation in the NBP area. The rapid denudation at 8 Ma probably resulted from the combination of tectonic activities and surface erosion.

description: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are a key component of the tumour microenvironment with diverse functions, including matrix deposition and remodelling, extensive reciprocal signalling interactions with cancer cells and crosstalk with infiltrating leukocytes. As such, they are a potential target for optimizing therapeutic strategies against cancer. However, many challenges are present in ongoing attempts to modulate CAFs for therapeutic benefit. These include limitations in our understanding of the origin of CAFs and heterogeneity in CAF function, with it being desirable to retain some antitumorigenic functions. On the basis of a meeting of experts in the field of CAF biology, we summarize in this Consensus Statement our current knowledge and present a framework for advancing our understanding of this critical cell type within the tumour microenvironment.

description: A comprehensive energy model for wireless sensor networks is provided by considering seven key energy consumption sources some of which are ignored by currently available models. We demonstrate the importance of using such a comprehensive model by comparing it to other existing energy models in terms of the lifetime of a sensor node. We use our model to evaluate energy consumption and node lifetime for a sensor network with fixed configuration and we validate this evaluation by simulation. We show that existing energy models over-estimate life expectancy of a sensor node by 30-58% and also yield an 'optimised' number of clusters which is too large. We further make the following two observations: 1) the optimal number of clusters increases with the increase of free space fading energy, 2) for sensor networks with 100 sensors over an area of 104-105 [m2], finding the optimal number of clusters becomes less important when free space fading energy is very low (less than 1670 pJ/bit/m2), while for larger networks, on the other hand, cluster optimization is still important even if free space fading energy is low. Guidelines for efficient and reliable sensor network design as well as extension to a sensor network with rotating cluster heads are provided.

description: Single-cell RNA-seq has been established as a reliable and accessible technique enabling new types of analyses, such as identifying cell types and studying spatial and temporal gene expression variation and change at single-cell resolution. Recently, single-cell RNA-seq has been applied to developing embryos, which offers great potential for finding and characterising genes controlling the course of development along with their expression patterns. In this study, we applied single-cell RNA-seq to the 16-cell stage of the Ciona embryo, a marine chordate and performed a computational search for cell-specific gene expression patterns. We recovered many known expression patterns from our single-cell RNA-seq data and despite extensive previous screens, we succeeded in finding new cell-specific patterns, which we validated by in situ and single-cell qPCR.

description: This work presents a detailed study of the photo-induced spin-state dynamics of the photochromic iron(II) complex 1, where the metal ion is in the field of a tripodal hexa-imine ligand with protolysable phenol groups. The nature of the complex’s ground state has been identified as a spin singlet by 1H NMR and steady-state UV/vis spectroscopies, and its distorted octahedral structure was analyzed via crystal structure determination. Sub-picosecond and nanosecond time-resolved laser flash photolysis experiments identify the long-lived quintet state of 1 as the selective product of photoexcitation in the UV/vis spectral region. Thermal barriers of spin-state interconversion as a function of solvent and added base are derived from temperature-dependent rates of transient decay. Ground-state recovery is found to be significantly affected by the solvent and is strongly enhanced, in particular, by base-driven solvolysis of the ligand’s phenol groups. Partial spontaneous deprotonation of the phenolic hydroxyl groups of 1 seems to prevail on metal oxide surfaces, i.e. on alumina. Composite materials, like 1 at Al2O3, that retain the characteristic spectral features of the parent iron(II) complex can be readily obtained by wet impregnation of hydrous alumina with solutions of 1.
Engset formula for bufferless OBS/OPS: When is and when isn't lengthening the off-time redundant?

description: To compute link blocking rates in an optical burst/packet switched network, it has been shown that the Engset formula should be used with a reduced packet arrival rate to account for packet dumping. This reduction is realized by lengthening the off-time during which a source remains idle, which is referred to as the lengthened off-time approximation (LOA). It is known that if the blocking probability is small or the number of sources (input links) is large, the LOA is redundant. We show here that the LOA is also redundant for certain state independent approximations and prove that they are equivalent to the Engset formula if the blocking probability is evaluated as a function of utilization. We consider a new LOA whereby the interval by which the off-time is lengthened depends on the number of busy channels. We demonstrate that this new statedependent LOA (sdLOA) yields higher accuracy irrespective of whether blocking probability is evaluated as a function of either utilization which is a system-dependent measure, or system independent measures such as the intended arrival rate.
VoIP capacity analysis in IEEE 802.11 WLAN

description: Wireless voice over IP (VoIP) is an important emerging service in telecommunications due to its potential for replacing cell phone communication wherever wireless local area network (WLAN) is installed. Recent studies, however, suggest that the number of voice calls that can be supported in the widely deployed IEEE 802.11 WLAN is limited. In this paper, we utilize a so-called transmission opportunity (TXOP) parameter of a medium access control protocol as a simple solution to improve the VoIP capacity. We provide a detailed analytical model to show that the capacity can be improved significantly, and discuss the implications of the TXOP parameter in terms of the maximum number of calls the 802.11 network can support. The analytical results are validated by simulations for a wide range of parameters. Furthermore we investigate the impact of the buffer at the access point (AP) on the number of obtainable voice calls. We show that there exists an optimal buffer size where the maximum voice capacity is achieved, but further increasing the buffer beyond this value will not result in an increased voice capacity. Based on this finding a closed form expression for the maximum number of voice calls is developed as a function of TXOP value. Finally, we propose a simple yet accurate voice capacity approximation formula for voice capacity estimation in WLAN and provide some insights that an be gained from this formula.

description: Sport and representations of sport in the media are key sites for political and social struggles around race and nation. In order to explore how meanings of race are constructed in a sporting context, we undertook a discourse analysis of Australian print media coverage of two incidents of alleged racial vilification in sport. In one, Australian cricketer Darren Lehmann was suspended for racially vilifying the Sri Lankan team. In the other, Pakistani cricketer Rashid Latif was accused of racially vilifying an Australian cricketer. Our research suggests the following: first, there was strong condemnation of racial vilification; second, despite this, print media representations reflect a white versus black divide in world cricket; third, a Lehmann as victim/reverse racism theme emerged. We conclude that race is being mobilized as a potent but contested symbol of both inclusion and exclusion within Australia.

description: This paper presents a link model which captures the queue dynamics in response to a change in a TCP source's congestion window. By considering both self-clocking and the link integrator effect, the model generalizes existing models and is shown to be more accurate by both open loop and closed loop packet level simulations. It reduces to the known static link model when flows' round trip delays are identical, and approximates the standard integrator link model when there is significant cross traffic. We apply this model to the stability analysis of FAST TCP including its filter dynamics. Under this model, the FAST control law is linearly stable for a single bottleneck link with an arbitrary distribution of round trip delays. This result resolves the notable discrepancy between empirical observations and previous theoretical predictions. The analysis highlights the critical role of self-clocking in TCP stability, and the proof technique is new and less conservative than existing ones.

description: We are entering an exciting era in gravitational wave (GW) astrophysics, with upcoming space-based detectors like LISA set to explore the millihertz frequency band enabling the detection of low-frequency sources such as massive black hole (MBH) binaries and intemediate/extreme mass-ratio inspirals (I/EMRIs), offering unprecedented insights into the astrophysics of galaxy evolution and fundamental physics. Realizing the full potential of these observatories requires significant advances in computational modeling. This thesis develops and applies advanced numerical techniques, particularly fast multipole methods (FMM) in N-body simulations, to study the merger dynamics of massive black hole (MBH) binaries in nuclear star clusters (NSCs). I investigate how collisional relaxation and mass segregation within NSCs influence binary hardening timescales, and how NSCs affect the orbital evolution of MBH seeds in post-merger galaxies, where dynamical friction may be inefficient, leading to long delays in binary formation and merger. I also explore whether GWs can probe dark matter distributions by analyzing dephasing effects caused by dark matter spikes around intermediate-mass black holes. Finally, I present proof-of-concept improvements to Hamiltonian splitting integrators, assessing the performance of a fully GPU-resident N-body implementation as a step toward future high-performance FMM-based GW source modeling frameworks.

Minimizing average finish time in P2P networks

description: Peer-to-peer (P2P) file distribution is a scalable way to disseminate content to a wide audience. For a P2P network, one fundamental performance metric is the average time needed to deliver a certain file to all peers, which in general depends on the topology of the network and the scheduling of transmissions. Despite its apparent importance, how to minimize average finish time remains an open question even for a fullyconnected network. This is mainly due to the analytical challenges that come with the combinatorial structures of the problem. In this paper, by using the water-filling technique, we determine how each peer should use its capacity to sequentially minimize the file download times in an upload-constrained P2P network. Furthermore, it is argued that this scheduling also potentially minimizes average finish time for the network. This result not only provides fundamental insight to scheduling in such P2P systems, but also can serve as a benchmark to evaluate practical algorithms and illustrate the scalability of P2P networks.

description: Delayed relapses at distant sites are a common clinical observation for certain types of cancers after removal of primary tumor, such as breast and prostate cancer. This evidence has been explained by postulating a long period during which disseminated cancer cells (DCCs) survive in a foreign environment without developing into overt metastasis. Because of the asymptomatic nature of this phenomenon, isolation, and analysis of disseminated dormant cancer cells from clinically disease-free patients is ethically and technically highly problematic and currently these data are largely limited to the bone marrow. That said, detecting, profiling and treating indolent metastatic lesions before the onset of relapse is the imperative. To overcome this major limitation many laboratories developed in vitro models of the metastatic niche for different organs and different types of cancers. In this review we focus specifically on in vitro models designed to study metastatic dormancy of breast cancer cells (BCCs). We provide an overview of the BCCs employed in the different organotypic systems and address the components of the metastatic microenvironment that have been shown to impact on the dormant phenotype: tissue architecture, stromal cells, biochemical environment, oxygen levels, cell density. A brief description of the organ-specific in vitro models for bone, liver, and lung is provided. Finally, we discuss the strategies employed so far for the validation of the different systems.

description: This paper investigates the performance of online dynamic speed scaling algorithms for the objective of minimizing a linear combination of energy and response time. We prove that (SRPT, P−1(n)), which uses Shortest Remaining Processing Time (SRPT) scheduling and processes at speed such that the power used is equal to the queue length, is 2-competitive for a very wide class of power-speed tradeoff functions. Further, we prove that there exist tradeoff functions such that no online algorithm can attain a competitive ratio less than 2.
Stability and robustness conditions using frequency dependent half planes

Year: 2024

description: This paper presents a sufficient condition that establishes closed loop stability for linear time invariant dynamical systems with transfer functions that are analytic in the open right half complex plane. The condition is suitable for analyzing a large class of highly complex, possibly inter-connected, systems. The result is based on bounding Nyquist curves by using frequency dependent half planes. It provides (usually non-trivial) robustness guarantees for the provably stable systems and generalizes to the multidimensional case using matrix field of values. Concrete examples illustrate the applications of the condition. From our condition, it is easy to derive a relaxed version of the classical result that the interconnection of a positive real and strictly positive real linear system under feedback is closed loop stable.

description: Programmed cell death (PCD) is widespread during neurodevelopment, eliminating the surpluses of neuronal production. Using the Drosophila olfactory system, we examined the potential of cells fated to die to contribute to circuit evolution. Inhibition of PCD is sufficient to generate new cells that express neural markers and exhibit odor-evoked activity. These “undead” neurons express a subset of olfactory receptors that is enriched for relatively recent receptor duplicates and includes some normally found in different chemosensory organs and life stages. Moreover, undead neuron axons integrate into the olfactory circuitry in the brain, forming novel receptor/glomerular couplings. Comparison of homologous olfactory lineages across drosophilids reveals natural examples of fate change from death to a functional neuron. Last, we provide evidence that PCD contributes to evolutionary differences in carbon dioxide–sensing circuit formation in Drosophila and mosquitoes. These results reveal the remarkable potential of alterations in PCD patterning to evolve new neural pathways.
Simulating markets for ticket sales to major events
Creators: name: Walker, Lyndon
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: One of the advantages of living in a major metropolitan centre is the access to major sporting, musical and cultural events. However, in recent years demand for tickets to major events has grown at a much greater rate than the capacity of the venues at which they are held. This increase in demand has led to popular events commonly selling out within minutes of going on sale, and to various, sometimes illegal, forms of secondary markets for tickets such as 'scalping'. It is an area which is fraught with potential legal, ethical and economic issues and the competing interests of artists, promoters, scalpers, fans and the general public. Different strategies and rules have been trialled by event promoters, legislated by local and central governments, and even mooted by academics, as ways to better manage the sale of tickets to major events. These range from ticket sale limits, staggered ticket releases and anti-scalping laws, through to ticket 'lotteries' and auctions, and even suggestions of a futures market for tickets. This paper will present a preliminary examination of several of these strategies for selling tickets to major events using computer simulations of a ticket market. It will examine how different rules and forms of ticket markets can impact on the average price paid by purchasers, the variation in prices paid by purchasers, and the return for the event promoters.

Television's newcomers: Netflix, apple, Google and Facebook
Creators: name: Barr, Trevor
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper essentially deals with innovation related to Internet Television, not Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), which is so widely seen as a major new application for NBN Co. It constructs four business models of Internet television related to the recent innovation offered by four American based corporations, each of whom is relatively new to television. It offers an analysis of Netflix as the aggregation model, Apple TV as continuing its iPhone walled garden business model but this time for television, Google TV where convergence for television would be free, and also of movies becoming available on Facebook, the progressively more ubiquitous social media site. None of these players are original television content creators. All are highly dependent for content on the established commercial television networks in the USA, whose management face complex dilemmas as to whether it embraces the opportunity to make more programming available to new outlets, but at no risk to their programming rights, or to their lucrative advertising base. The development of Internet television, and how it comes to compete or co-exist with IPTV, may be a broadband game changer, not only in the USA but also eventually for Australia.

'Politics not policies' re-visited
Creators: name: Barr, Trevor
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The Australian government's Convergence Review: Final Report, released in April 2012, is analysed as a case study of public policy process about media and telecommunications. Several key perspectives are addressed- the accuracy of the mass media coverage of the report before and after its release, the effectiveness of public participation in the creation of the findings by the committee, how the government framed the enquiry in advance, and how it responded when the report was released. This paper cites examples of grossly inaccurate press reporting. The contrast of this government's approach to making policy in 2012 is contrasted with what has come to be regarded as a seminal public policy report for telecommunications in the mid 1980s. At this stage it is too early to judge whether the government might implement the long term key recommendations, or opt for short term pragmatic decisions. The Convergence Review presents a fascinating story of the complex interactions between government, policy makers, media, industry stakeholders and the public at large.
A principles-based Anglo governance system is not a science but an art
Creators: name: Young, Suzanne
name: Thyil, Vijaya
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Anglo governance systems rely of a number of controls to align shareholder and boards of director's interests. In general they are referred to as market control, regulatory control, and political and cultural control. Agency theory proposes that these control mechanisms are necessary as human nature is such that directors and managers act in a self-interested and boundedly rational manner in decision-making that can result in sub optimality. Notwithstanding that each country within the Anglo system accepts such controls are necessary they have their own foci and priorities, being a product of their own system's characteristics. This paper through interviewing a number of Australian business executives adds to the academic literature by providing evidence from the field of the important characteristics of the Australian governance system, the drivers of change and the effectiveness of the principles-based approach. It argues that debate needs to move beyond the principles versus rules approach to look at how firms can be provided with more guidance in operationalising some of the principles that appear to be key to governance effectiveness. It concludes that there is a need for a holistic model of governance that is broader than that focusing on the control/legalistic approach; that top management is important in setting and driving the in-firm governance agenda; that the public needs to be informed and educated about governance and its importance; and that disclosure still requires an improvement in quality.

The support consists of a pebble whose natural shape calls to mind the human form. This natural attribute has been enhanced by the application of painted features or signs, including representations of the navel, the eyes, and a single ear. The eyes and the ear are particularly interesting, as their identification is based primarily on their location, not their physical appearance. They are, however, carefully made. This suggests that the anatomical inaccuracies are intentional. In fact, in all probability we are dealing here with a symbolic substitution of forms. In the author's opinion, the "eyes" and the "ear" resemble certain types of anthropomorphic sculptures which occur in both Upper Paleolithic and Neolithic contexts. Because the figurine is an isolated surface find, it cannot at present be securely dated to any period. For a number of reasons, a prehistoric origin is, nevertheless, considered to be possible.

description: The financial crisis in the UK began in late 2008 and the consequential economic recession has brought to the attention of media, commentators, policy makers and academics the importance of corporate governance. This research explores UK governance, what it means, what are its influences and how it is changing at the time of this financial crisis. The researchers conducted a series of qualitative interviews in five UK companies across a spectrum of industries (including institutional investors) in late 2008. Three key propositions were investigated: Proposition 1 is that board characteristics, the importance of which are pronounced by agency theorists are not the only key factor in 'best practice' governance. Proposition 2 is that shareholders and stakeholder involvement in governance will improve governance practices. Proposition three is that key to understanding governance failures is examining cognition and behaviours inside the black box of decision-making. Propositions two and three were supported by the interviews. The main conclusions are that the importance of good governance in establishing trust again at the time of the financial crisis is key and changes seem to be called for in a number of areas: in enhancing shareholder voice; better disclosure in explaining variations to the application of the principles of the Combined Code, in explaining risks, and in how decisions are made; and ensuring that executive remuneration is more clearly linked to profits, costs of capital and risk and reflects long-term value creation.

description: Pollination is important for crop production. Due to pollination deficit and ecological disturbances it is essential to quantify the economic value of pollination. In Pakistan, such values are not available. Using bioeconomical methods these values were quantified. The production value of pollinated dependent crop was 1.59 billion US$. Of the total value, fruits are dominant with 0. 98 billion, vegetables 0.32 billion, nuts 0.15 billion, oilseed 0.13 billion and spices 0.004 billion US $. Non pollinated crops values 7.45 billion US $. This study is helpful in planning stratagies for pollination management. Moreover material and technical inputs required can be better asked in the light of this study.

description: Diagonal tension cracks in reinforced concrete members adversely affect the performance of flexural members strengthened by externally boned fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials. The interface between the CFRP plate and concrete is influenced by both shear bond and peeling for such conditions. The objective of this study is to understand bond behavior in CFRP plate and concrete systems under the combination of fracture mode (peeling and shear) by special double-face shear bond test specimen. The specimens were designed for different initial angles at the middle of the specimen to ensure that the interface acts for both shear and peeling conditions. From the test results, the bond behavior under the combination of fracture mode can be observed using special specimens. It is confirmed that the tensile load decreases as the peeling angle increases. The relationship between peeling angle and tensile load is determined to evaluate the bond strength under the combination of fracture mode. Based on the test results, a new calculation method under the combination of fracture mode is proposed. The proposed method makes good prediction of the bond strength between CFRP plate and concrete for shear-peeling fracture conditions.

description: Hypoxia inducible transcription factors (HIFs) directly dictate the expression of multiple RNA species including novel and as yet uncharacterized long non-coding transcripts with unknown function. We used pan-genomic HIF-binding and transcriptomic data to identify a novel long non-coding RNA NICI (Non-coding Intergenic Co-Induced transcript) on chromosome 12p13.31 which is regulated by hypoxia via HIF-1 promoter-binding in multiple cell types. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated deletion of the hypoxia-response element revealed co-regulation of NICI and the neighboring protein-coding gene, solute carrier family 2 member 3 (SLC2A3) which encodes the high-affinity glucose transporter 3 (GLUT3). Knock-down or knock-out of NICI attenuated hypoxic induction of SLC2A3 indicating a direct regulatory role of NICI in SLC2A3 expression, which was further evidenced by CRISPR/Cas9-VPR mediated activation of NICI expression. We also demonstrate that regulation of SLC2A3 is mediated through transcriptional activation rather than post-transcriptional mechanisms since knock-out of NICI leads to reduced recruitment of RNA polymerase 2 to the SLC2A3 promoter. Consistent with this we observe NICI-dependent regulation of glucose consumption and cell proliferation. Furthermore, NICI expression is regulated by the VHL tumour suppressor and is highly expressed in clear cell renal cancer, where SLC2A3 expression is associated with patient prognosis, implying an important role for the HIF/NICI/SLC2A3 axis in this malignancy.

description: In chickens, the embryonic ovary differentiates into two distinct domains before meiosis: a steroidogenic core, the female medulla, overlain by the germ cell niche, the cortex. The differentiation of the medulla is a cell autonomous process based on chromosome sex identity (CASI). In order to address the extent to which cortex differentiation depends on intrinsic or extrinsic factors, we generated models of gonadal intersex by mixing ZW (female) and ZZ (male) cells in gonadal chimeras, or by altering estrogen levels of ZW and ZZ embryos. We found that CASI does not apply to the embryonic cortex. Both ZW and ZZ cells can form the cortex and this can happen independently of the phenotypic sex of the medulla as long as estrogen is provided. We also show that the cortex promoting activity of estrogen signalling is mediated via Estrogen Receptor alpha within the left gonad epithelium. However, the presence of a medulla with an "intersex" or male phenotype may compromise germ cells progression into meiosis, causing cortical germ cells to remain in an immature state in the embryo.

description: Roses from different continents travel long distances to reach the international flower market in Holland and
result in them reaching the market while they have aged thus reducing vase life and quality which are vital for
consumer satisfaction. An experiment was carried out to assess the effects of five different pulse solutions
(distilled water, aluminium sulphate + HTH + V90, aluminium sulphate + pentakill + V90, 3% sucrose solution +
aluminium sulphate + V90, and water acidified with citric acid to a hydrogen potential of 4.2) on preserving the
vase life of three rose (Rosa hybrid L.) varieties (Amore, Escimo and Calibra). The experiment was arranged as a
3×5 factorial treatment structure laid out in a completely randomised design (CRD). There was an interaction
(p<0.001) between the three rose varieties and the five different pulse solutions. Escimo and Amore recorded the
highest vase life days in solution containing 3 % sucrose averaging 19 and 18 days respectively. Calibra recorded
the least vase life (17 days) in water acidified with citric acid to a hydrogen potential of 4.2. It was concluded that
pulsing solutions prolong vase life of roses.

Accountability and oversight of state functions: Use of volunteers to monitor equality and diversity in prisons in England and Wales
Creators: name: Roffee, James
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This article offers an evaluation of the use of volunteers in providing accountability of state detention in the prison system of England and Wales through a review of their efforts to monitor the humane and just treatment of those held in custody. A content and dialogical analysis was conducted on 280 reports submitted to the Secretary of State to analyze their practice of reporting and monitoring of equality and diversity. The article argues that the use of volunteers is appropriate to performing monitoring functions that act to enhance intelligent accountability, but volunteers are ineffective for the purposes of improving technical accountability. Evidence suggests some role confusion and use of volunteers for the achievement of both intelligent and technical accountability. The use of volunteers for the latter may result in poor quality repetition of other reporting mechanisms. In addition, it is argued that members require better training, and clearer communications concerning expectations from their reporting functions, which in turn is linked to the quality of their monitoring. The volunteers’ monitoring and surveillance of the detention estate can be more than symbolic and may act as a crucial antidote to technical accountability, furthering the humane and just treatment of some of the state’s most vulnerable citizens.
