title: Formulas of Chineseness: Tracing Daigou between Australia and China
Creators: name: Liu, Jessie
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2024

description: Over the past ten years, the buying and selling of infant formula across national borders has attracted concern and controversy in both Australia and China. This practice is commonly called daigou, a Mandarin portmanteau of 'to buy' (gou) and 'on behalf' (dai). This thesis examines the infant formula daigou trade between China and Australia, studying both the work involved in doing daigou and the imaginaries that shape and are shaped by it in both countries. The study challenges the dominant accounts of daigou by telling different stories about the trade: stories that critically articulate how gender, migration, labour, and racialisation have shaped it. To accomplish this, this thesis takes an interdisciplinary approach, bringing literature from Asian diaspora studies and China studies into conversation with sociological scholarship on racialisation, migration, labour, and gender, as well as science and technology studies. Empirically, it draws upon interviews with daigou shoppers in Australia and buyers of infant formula in China, participant observation of daigou shops in Australia, and discourse analysis of news media, infant formula advertisements, and scientific and policy literature from Australia and China. The thesis opens with an analysis of Australian news media to show how daigou has been constructed as a foreign Chinese phenomenon happening to Australia (Chapter 3). Part 2 (Chapters 4, 5, and 6) draws upon interviews with daigou shoppers to argue that daigou should instead be understood as an Australian migrant labour practice. It demonstrates how the trade's emergence and proliferation have been shaped by migrants' challenging experiences of Australia's gendered and exclusionary labour market, and how their labour has generated profits for companies based in Australia. Part 3 (Chapters 7, 8, and 9) examines the imaginaries that underpin, and are reproduced by, the daigou trade. First, by analysing the labour of shoppers and infant formula advertisements, it shows how the trade has reproduced and exported colonial imaginaries of Australia. It then discusses imaginaries of Australian infant formula as 'clean and green', highlighting how these understandings reflect middle-class Chinese mothers' negotiation of China's development and pollution. Finally, it studies the new biologised imaginaries of Chineseness that are produced in anti-daigou discourses of infant nutrition in China. In particular, it focuses on the idea of 'Chinese formula for Chinese babies' and its deployment in the cultivation of a racialised commodity. Through its examination of the intersecting practices and imaginaries that shape the daigou trade, this thesis contributes to critical conceptual and empirical work on Chineseness, racialisation, markets, migration, and transnational practices and subjects.
Role of quantum coherence in the thermodynamics of energy transfer

description: Recent research on the thermodynamic arrow of time, at the microscopic scale, has questioned the universality of its direction. Theoretical studies showed that quantum correlations can be used to revert the natural heat flow (from the hot body to the cold one), posing an apparent challenge to the second law of thermodynamics. Such an "anomalous" heat current was observed in a recent experiment (arXiv:1711.03323), by employing two spin systems initially quantum correlated. Nevertheless, the precise relationship between this intriguing phenomenon and the initial conditions that allow it is not fully evident. Here, we address energy transfer in a wider perspective, identifying a nonclassical contribution that applies to the reversion of the heat flow as well as to more general forms of energy exchange. We derive three theorems that describe the energy transfer between two microscopic systems, for arbitrary initial bipartite states. Using these theorems, we obtain an analytical bound showing that certain type of quantum coherence can optimize such a process, outperforming incoherent states. This genuine quantum advantage is corroborated through a characterization of the energy transfer between two qubits. For this system, it is shown that a large enough amount of coherence is necessary and sufficient to revert the thermodynamic arrow of time. As a second crucial consequence of the presented theorems, we introduce a class of nonequilibrium states that only allow unidirectional energy flow. In this way, we broaden the set where the standard Clausius statement of the second law applies.

description: The presence of non-local and long-range interactions in quantum systems induces several peculiar features in their equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium behavior. In current experimental platforms control parameters such as interaction range, temperature, density and dimension can be changed. The existence of universal scaling regimes, where diverse physical systems and observables display quantitative agreement, generates a common framework, where the efforts of different research communities can be -- in some cases rigorously -- connected. Still, the application of this general framework to particular experimental realisations requires the identification of the regimes where the universality phenomenon is expected to appear. In the present review we summarise the recent investigations of many-body quantum systems with long-range interactions, which are currently realised in Rydberg atom arrays, dipolar systems, trapped ion setups and cold atoms in cavity experiments. Our main aim is to present and identify the common and (mostly) universal features induced by long-range interactions in the behaviour of quantum many-body systems. We will discuss both the case of very strong non-local couplings, i.e. the non-additive regime, and the one in which energy is extensive, but nevertheless low-energy, long wavelength properties are altered with respect to the short-range limit. Cases of competition with other local effects in the above mentioned setups are also reviewed.

description: We find that dim gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are softer than bright GRBs, as indicated on average by data from the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) on board the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. We show that this correlation is statistically significant with respect to variations due to random differences between GRBs. This effect is discernable using a variety of methods and data sets, including public domain data. We analyze several types of systematic errors and selection effects in the BATSE data and conclude that the observed effect is not dominated by any of them. We therefore assert that this dim/soft effect is a real property of GRBs. It is possible that this correlation is a consequence of the time dilation detected by Norris et al. (1994) and that this is additional evidence that burst sources are located at cosmological distances.

description: We study the long-term behavior of the two-thinning variant of the classical balls-and-bins model. In this model, an overseer is provided with uniform random allocation of $m$ balls into $n$ bins in an on-line fashion. For each ball, the overseer could reject its allocation and place the ball into a new bin drawn independently at random. The purpose of the overseer is to reduce the maximum load of the bins, which is defined as the difference between the maximum number of balls in a single bin and $m/n$, i.e., the average number of balls among all bins.
 We provide tight estimates for three quantities: the lowest maximum load that could be achieved at time $m$, the lowest maximum load that could be achieved uniformly over the entire time interval $[m]:=\{1, 2, \cdots, m\}$, and the lowest \emph{typical} maximum load that could be achieved over the interval $[m]$, where the typicality means that the maximum load holds for $1-o(1)$ portion of the times in $[m]$.
 We show that when $m$ and $n$ are sufficiently large, a typical maximum load of $(\log n)^{1/2+o(1)}$ can be achieved with high probability, asymptotically the same as the optimal maximum load that could be achieved at time $m$. However, for any strategy, the maximal load among all times in the interval $[m]$ is $Ω\big(\frac{\log n}{\log\log n}\big)$ with high probability. A strategy achieving this bound is provided.
 An explanation for this gap is provided by our optimal strategies as follows. To control the typical load, we restrain the maximum load for some time, during which we accumulate more and more bins with relatively high load. After a while, we have to employ for a short time a different strategy to reduce the number of relatively heavily loaded bins, at the expanse of temporarily inducing high load in a few bins.
Chiral Estimates of Strong CP Violation Revisited

description: The effects of the CP violating $θ$ term in the QCD Lagrangian upon low energy hadronic phenomenology are reconsidered. Strong CP violating interactions among Goldstone bosons and octet baryons are incorporated into an effective chiral Lagrangian framework. The $θ$ term's impact upon the decays $η\toππ$ and $π^0\toγγ$ is then investigated but found to be extremely small. A refined model independent estimate of nonanalytic contributions to the neutron electric dipole moment is also determined using velocity dependent Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory. We obtain the approximate upper bound $|θ| < 4.5 \times 10^{-10}$.

description: In this paper, we investigate a challenging unsupervised domain adaptation setting -- unsupervised model adaptation. We aim to explore how to rely only on unlabeled target data to improve performance of an existing source prediction model on the target domain, since labeled source data may not be available in some real-world scenarios due to data privacy issues. For this purpose, we propose a new framework, which is referred to as collaborative class conditional generative adversarial net to bypass the dependence on the source data. Specifically, the prediction model is to be improved through generated target-style data, which provides more accurate guidance for the generator. As a result, the generator and the prediction model can collaborate with each other without source data. Furthermore, due to the lack of supervision from source data, we propose a weight constraint that encourages similarity to the source model. A clustering-based regularization is also introduced to produce more discriminative features in the target domain. Compared to conventional domain adaptation methods, our model achieves superior performance on multiple adaptation tasks with only unlabeled target data, which verifies its effectiveness in this challenging setting.

description: We report isovector form factors and low moments of structure functions of nucleon in numerical lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) from the on-going calculations by the RIKEN-BNL-Columbia (RBC) and UKQCD Collaborations with (2+1) dynamical flavors of domain-wall fermion (DWF) quarks. We calculate the matrix elements with four light quark masses, corresponding to pion mass values of m_π= 330-670 MeV, while the dynamical strange mass is fixed at a value close to physical, on (2.7 fm)^3 spatial volume. We found that our axial charge, g_A, at the lightest mass exhibits a large deviation from the heavier mass results. This deviation seems to be a finite-size effect as the g_A value scales with a single parameter, m_πL, the product of pion mass and linear spatial lattice size. The scaling is also seen in earlier 2-flavor dynamical DWF and Wilson quark calculations. Without this lightest point, the three heavier mass results show only very mild mass dependence and linearly extrapolate to g_A=1.16(6). We determined the four form factors, the vector (Dirac), induced tensor (Pauli), axial vector and induced pseudoscalar, at a few finite momentum transfer values as well. At the physical pion mass the form-factors root mean square radii determined from the momentum-transfer dependence %of the form factors are 20-30% smaller than the corresonding experiments. The ratio of the isovector quark momentum to helicity fractions, < x>_{u-d}/< x>_{Δu - Δd} is in agreement with experiment without much mass dependence including the lightest point. We obtain an estimate, 0.81(2), by a constant fit. Although the individual momentum and helicity fractions are yet to be renormalized, they show encouraging trend toward experiment.

description: We consider direct dark matter detection rates and investigate the difference between a standard Maxwell-Boltzmann velocity distribution and a "realistic" distribution like the ones extracted from numerical N-body simulations. Sizable differences are observed when such results are compared to the standard Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. For a light target both the total rate and the annual modulation are reduced by ~25%. For a heavy target the total rate is virtually unchanged, whereas the annual modulation is modified by up to 50%, depending on the WIMP mass and detector energy threshold. We also consider the effect of a possible velocity anisotropy, and the effect is found to be largest for a light target For the realistic velocity distribution the anisotropy may reduce the annual modulation, in contrast to the Maxwell-Boltzmann case.

description: We present a fast learning-based algorithm for deformable, pairwise 3D medical image registration. Current registration methods optimize an objective function independently for each pair of images, which can be time-consuming for large data. We define registration as a parametric function, and optimize its parameters given a set of images from a collection of interest. Given a new pair of scans, we can quickly compute a registration field by directly evaluating the function using the learned parameters. We model this function using a convolutional neural network (CNN), and use a spatial transform layer to reconstruct one image from another while imposing smoothness constraints on the registration field. The proposed method does not require supervised information such as ground truth registration fields or anatomical landmarks. We demonstrate registration accuracy comparable to state-of-the-art 3D image registration, while operating orders of magnitude faster in practice. Our method promises to significantly speed up medical image analysis and processing pipelines, while facilitating novel directions in learning-based registration and its applications. Our code is available at https://github.com/balakg/voxelmorph .

description: In this article, we apply the binary level set method to the Variational Implicit Solvent Model (VISM), which is a theoretical and computational tool to study biomolecular systems with complex topology. Central in VISM is an effective free energy of all possible interfaces separating solutes (e.g., proteins) from solvent (e.g., water). Previously, such a functional is minimized numerically by the level set method to determine the stable equilibrium conformations and solvation free energies. We vastly improve the speed by applying the binary level set method, in which the interface is approximated by a binary level set function that only takes value $\pm 1$ on the solute/solvent region, leading to a discrete formulation of VISM energy. The surface area is approximated by convolution of an indicator function with a compactly supported kernel. The VISM energy can be minimized by iteratively "flipping" the binary level set function in a steepest descent fashion. Numerical experiments are performed to demonstrate the accuracy and performance of our method.

description: This paper explores the problem of breast tissue classification of microscopy images. Based on the predominant cancer type the goal is to classify images into four categories of normal, benign, in situ carcinoma, and invasive carcinoma. Given a suitable training dataset, we utilize deep learning techniques to address the classification problem. Due to the large size of each image in the training dataset, we propose a patch-based technique which consists of two consecutive convolutional neural networks. The first "patch-wise" network acts as an auto-encoder that extracts the most salient features of image patches while the second "image-wise" network performs classification of the whole image. The first network is pre-trained and aimed at extracting local information while the second network obtains global information of an input image. We trained the networks using the ICIAR 2018 grand challenge on BreAst Cancer Histology (BACH) dataset. The proposed method yields 95 % accuracy on the validation set compared to previously reported 77 % accuracy rates in the literature. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/ImagingLab/ICIAR2018

description: Let $I=I(D)$ be the edge ideal of a weighted oriented graph $D$, let $G$ be the underlying graph of $D$, and let $I^{(n)}$ be the $n$-th symbolic power of $I$ defined using the minimal primes of $I$. We prove that $I^2=I^{(2)}$ if and only if (i) every vertex of $D$ with weight greater than $1$ is a sink and (ii) $G$ has no triangles. As a consequence, using a result of Mandal and Pradhan, and the classification of normally torsion-free edge ideals of graphs, it follows that $I^n=I^{(n)}$ for all $n\geq 1$ if and only if (a) every vertex of $D$ with weight greater than $1$ is a sink and (b) $G$ is bipartite. If $I$ has no embedded primes, conditions (a) and (b) classify when $I$ is normally torsion-free. Using polyhedral geometry and integral closure, we give necessary conditions for the equality of ordinary and symbolic powers of monomial ideals with a minimal irreducible decomposition. Then, we classify when the Alexander dual of the edge ideal of a weighted oriented graph is normally torsion-free.

description: Quantum instruments represent the most general type of quantum measurement, as they incorporate processes with both classical and quantum outputs. In many scenarios, it may be desirable to have some "on-demand" device that is capable of implementing one of many possible instruments whenever the experimenter desires. We refer to such objects as programmable instrument devices (PIDs), and this paper studies PIDs from a resource-theoretic perspective. A physically important class of PIDs are those that do not require quantum memories to implement, and these are naturally "free" in this resource theory. Additionally, these free objects correspond precisely to the class of unsteerable channel assemblages in the study of channel steering. The traditional notion of measurement incompatibility emerges as a resource in this theory since any PID controlling an incompatible family of instruments requires a quantum memory to build. We identify an incompatibility preorder between PIDs based on whether one can be transformed into another using processes that do not require additional quantum memories. Necessary and sufficient conditions are derived for when such transformations are possible based on how well certain guessing games can be played using a given PID. Ultimately our results provide an operational characterization of incompatibility, and they offer semi-device-independent tests for incompatibility in the most general types of quantum instruments.

Limited experimental information exists for proton light yield in this range, for this or any other organic scintillator. Our results confirm the adequacy of a modified Birks' model, common to all organic scintillator formulations, predicting a marked increase in quenching factor as proton energy approaches the few keV regime. The relevance of this behavior within the context of searches for low-mass particle dark matter is mentioned.

While some white settler-colonial writers and scholars have responded to the authority of First Nations knowledge holders and makers, the uptake of Indigenous instruction in wider settler-colonial creative discourse remains limited. Nonetheless, white desire to tell stories that 'get it right' in representing Indigeneity has remained and intensified in anxiety, without significant questioning among white writers about what 'getting it right' is, who determines this achievement, whom it serves, and what that means. In this thesis, I present how I have used my creative practice and positionality as a white colonial-settler middle-class woman, to participate in this questioning. This PhD project articulates how attempts at representing First Peoples become political projects as I see and understand myself, my concerns, my creative practice and my words in the context of colonising racial categories, and the insistence and values of unceded Indigenous sovereignty. As a result of this questioning - guided by critical race and whiteness studies, Indigenous-led literary and knowledge production studies, and phenomenological cultural studies - I develop five conceptual tools that decentre the goal of representational perfection of Indigenous subjects from white subjectivity, on the grounds that this is a false, and colonising, project. Instead, these conceptual tools - of unfinishedness, apology, honesty, contextualisation and turning - support a practical, lived redefinition of what it means to be a writer who is accountable to those with a vested interest in a story. This thesis contributes to understanding how, in the context of Indigenous sovereignty, settler-colonial storytellers might realise and loosen the tight grip of normative narrative production that encourages a closed, hurried, and possessive creative and representational practice.

description: The importance of radiation pressure feedback in galaxy formation has been extensively debated over the last decade. The regime of greatest uncertainty is in the most actively star-forming galaxies, where large dust columns can potentially produce a dust-reprocessed infrared radiation field with enough pressure to drive turbulence or eject material. Here we derive the conditions under which a self-gravitating, mixed gas-star disc can remain hydrostatic despite trapped radiation pressure. Consistently taking into account the self-gravity of the medium, the star- and dust-to-gas ratios, and the effects of turbulent motions not driven by radiation, we show that galaxies can achieve a maximum Eddington-limited star formation rate per unit area $\dotΣ_{\rm *,crit} \sim 10^3 M_{\odot}$ pc$^{-2}$ Myr$^{-1}$, corresponding to a critical flux of $F_{\rm *,crit} \sim 10^{13} L_{\odot}$ kpc$^{-2}$ similar to previous estimates; higher fluxes eject mass in bulk, halting further star formation. Conversely, we show that in galaxies below this limit, our one-dimensional models imply simple vertical hydrostatic equilibrium and that radiation pressure is ineffective at driving turbulence or ejecting matter. Because the vast majority of star-forming galaxies lie below the maximum limit for typical dust-to-gas ratios, we conclude that infrared radiation pressure is likely unimportant for all but the most extreme systems on galaxy-wide scales. Thus, while radiation pressure does not explain the Kennicutt-Schmidt relation, it does impose an upper truncation on it. Our predicted truncation is in good agreement with the highest observed gas and star formation rate surface densities found both locally and at high redshift.

description: Fundamental matrix operations and solving linear systems of equations are ubiquitous in scientific investigations. Using the "Sender-Receiver" model, we propose quantum algorithms for matrix operations such as matrix-vector product, matrix-matrix product, the sum of two matrices, and calculation of determinant and inverse of a matrix. We encode the matrix entries into the probability amplitudes of pure initial states of senders. After applying a proper unitary transformation to the complete quantum system, the desired result can be found in certain blocks of the receiver's density matrix. These quantum protocols can be used as subroutines in other quantum schemes. Furthermore, we present an alternative quantum algorithm for solving linear systems of equations.

description: In preon models based on chiral gauge theories, we show that light composite fermions can ensue as a result of gauging a subset of preons in a vector-like manner. After demonstrating how this mechanism works in a toy example, we construct a one generation model of quarks which admits a hierarchy between the up and down quark masses as well as between these masses and the compositeness scale. In simple extensions of this model to more generations we discuss the challenges of obtaining any quark mixing. Some possible phenomenological implications of scenarios where quarks and leptons which are heavier are also less pointlike are also considered.

title: Bridging land and sea perspectives of photosynthetic thermal tolerance in a climate change context
Creators: name: Harris, Rosie
Publisher: name: The Australian National University

description: Temperature is one of the most critical drivers of species evolution and distribution. Due to climate change, it has become increasingly variable and extreme, profoundly impacting terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Rising heatwaves, fluctuating temperatures, and variable rainfall affect land ecosystems, while marine systems face ocean warming and more frequent marine heatwaves, causing species range contractions and community restructuring. Sessile photosynthetic organisms in both environments must adapt to climate-induced temperature changes to survive. My thesis investigates the physiological mechanisms behind species' thermal tolerance to identify those at risk and support conservation efforts. My work aims to elucidate the physiological mechanisms behind photosynthetic organisms' responses to temperature extremes using scalable metrics crucial for high-throughput research. It investigates various methods for assessing thermal tolerance, including chlorophyll a fluorescence to measure photochemical efficiency. Insights gained from genomic clusters helped confirm the performance of genetically resilient individuals for future restoration efforts. The empirical work includes four data chapters. The first focuses on the heat and cold thermal tolerance of Australian angiosperm juveniles, revealing that both extremes narrow their thermal tolerance range. The photobiology tools developed informed a second study, adapting terrestrial high-throughput techniques for seaweed research, marking a significant advancement in phycology and enabling broader ecological questions relevant to seaweed resilience. I then examined the thermal tolerance of Phyllospora comosa across a latitudinal gradient, showing correlations with genetic structure. Warm-edge populations, though highly tolerant, had low genetic diversity, while central populations were key genetic repositories. The final chapter assesses seasonal variation in thermal plasticity in two temperate canopy-forming seaweeds, Ecklonia radiata and Phyllospora comosa, highlighting critical times and places of vulnerability. Both species adjust their thermal tolerance in response to seasonal sea surface temperatures, with Phyllospora displaying stable respiration and Ecklonia showing potential energy deficits in warmer periods. These findings highlight the link between thermal tolerance and respiratory responses in seaweeds, offering insights into their resilience amid changing climates. By applying lessons from terrestrial systems to marine ecology, this research enhances our understanding of plant thermal stress responses and emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary approaches. My PhD lays the foundation for future studies on the thermal biology of seaweeds and other species facing climate challenges.
Spontaneous Spin-Polarization of Ballistic Electrons in Single Mode Quantum Wires due to Spin-Splitting

description: We show that a quantum wire device with spin splitting can work as an active spin polarizer. Hot electrons in one `spin' subband (e.g. `spin-up') may pass such a device with weak electron pair scattering, while electrons in the opposite subband (`spin-down') may have high conversion probability into the `spin-up' subband, resulting in spin polarization of a hot electron beam. Under different circumstances a hot electron beam passing through a single mode quantum wire may induce a steady state magnetization of the background electron gas in a section of the wire weakly coupled to the environment.

description: There are lots of results to study dynamical complexity on irregular sets and level sets of ergodic average from the perspective of density in base space, Hausdorff dimension, Lebesgue positive measure, positive or full topological entropy (and topological pressure) etc.. However, it is unknown from the viewpoint of chaos. There are lots of results on the relationship of positive topological entropy and various chaos but it is known that positive topological entropy does not imply a strong version of chaos called DC1 so that it is non-trivial to study DC1 on irregular sets and level sets. In this paper we will show that for dynamical system with specification property, there exist uncountable DC1-scrambled subsets in irregular sets and level sets. On the other hand, we also prove that several recurrent levels of points with different recurrent frequency all have uncountable DC1-scrambled subsets. The main technique established to prove above results is that there exists uncountable DC1-scrambled subset in saturated sets.

description: Рассмотрение героической традиции 1 Древней Греции классического периода в связи с социальными и политическими явлениями накануне и в самом начале Греко-персидских войн не предпринималось исследователями напрямую. Ранее изучение развития героической традиции не подразумевало непосредственный поиск причинно-следственных связей между событиями и откликом на них религиозного обычая поклоняться героям. Соответственно, анализ данных вопросов носил опосредованный характер.
