description: Internal transformative qualities are essential contributing factors to sustainable behavior. Besides awareness, insight, purpose, and agency, connectedness is one of those inner qualities. In this study, we investigated the relationship between connectedness to oneself (self-love), towards the environment (connectedness to nature), towards other human beings (pro-socialness), and sustainable behavior towards clothes and food. One hundred thirty-nine mostly students participated. The results showed that self-love, connectedness to nature, and pro-socialness correlate. Sustainability behavior towards food was predicted by pro-socialness, the choice of diet, and environmental and ethical reasons for nutrition. Sustainable behavior towards clothes was predicted by connectedness to nature. This study hints that the factors of inner transformative qualities and the type of sustainable behavior must be investigated differently. It strengthens the multi-facet dimensions of sustainable behavior.

description: A new cinnamolyglycoflavonoid 3-cinnamoyltribuloside (1), its precursor tribuloside and two known flavonoid glycosides afzelin and astilbin were isolated from Heritiera littoralis Dryand (Sterculiaceae) ethanolic leaf extract. The dichloromethane leaf extract afforded two known pentacyclic triterpenoids, 3β-taraxerol and friedelin. Extracts and compounds isolated therefrom, with the exception of 3β-taraxerol, exhibited antimycobacterial activity against the non-pathogenic Mycobacterium species Mycobacterium madagascariense and Mycobacterium indicus pranii, with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) 5.0 mg/mL for the crude extracts and MICs in the range of 1.6–0.8 mg/mL for the pure compounds. The extracts together with 3-cinnamoyltribuloside (1), tribuloside and astilbin exhibited 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity. The compounds that showed dual activities could be further evaluated under clinical settings for co-administration with standard anti-tuberculosis drugs.

description: Although significant improvements have been made in the treatment of pancreatic cancer, its prognosis remains poor with an overall 5-year survival rate of less than 10%. New experimental approaches are necessary to develop novel therapeutics. In this study, the investigation of pancreatic cancer tissue growth in the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model and the subsequent use of indocyanine green (ICG) injections for the verification of intratumoral perfusion was conducted. ICG was injected into the CAM vasculature to visualize the perfusion of the tumor tissue. The presence of metastasis was investigated through PCR for the human-specific ALU element in the liver of the chicken embryo. Additionally, the usage of cryopreserved pancreatic tumors was established. Intratumoral perfusion of tumor tissue on the CAM was observed in recently obtained and cryopreserved tumors. ALU-PCR detected metastasis in the chick embryos’ livers. After cryopreservation, the tissue was still vital, and the xenografts generated from these tumors resembled the histological features of the primary tumor. This methodology represents the proof of principle for intravenous drug testing of pancreatic cancer in the CAM model. The cryopreserved tumors can be used for testing novel therapeutics and can be integrated into the molecular tumor board, facilitating personalized tumor treatment.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This article provides the background and describes the processes involved in establishing a national approach to benchmarking the way universities engage with their local and regional communities in Australia. Local and regional community engagement is a rapidly expanding activity in Australian public universities and is increasingly being seen as part of the universal quality assurance assessment process. An initiative of the Australian Universities Community Engagement Alliance (AUCEA), the benchmarking framework was developed over almost three years and involved considerable consultation and testing. The framework comprises an institutional questionnaire, a partner perceptions survey and a 'good practice' template. The instruments were tested in a pilot of 12 AUCEA member universities and will be implemented in all 33 AUCEA member universities in late 2008. Comparative results will be available early in 2009. The framework will assist universities and their community partners to improve their contribution to society and the environment through mutual knowledge exchange, learning and enterprising action.

description: In order to investigate the seasonal variations of antimicrobial properties and chemical composition of essential oils (EOs), three different cultivars of Citrus limon L. Burm. spp. (Femminello Santa Teresa, Monachello and Femminello Continella) were collected at 6-week intervals, from December 2012 to April 2013, for a total of four harvests. The EOs were extracted from lemon peel by hydro-distillation. The antimicrobial activity, tested by paper disc diffusion method, was evaluated against common food-related pathogenic bacteria (Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella enterica and Enterobacter spp.). EOs were more effective against Gram-positive than Gram-negative bacteria at each collection time, but a strong strain dependence was evidenced. Monachello EOs showed the highest inhibition power. The chemical characterisation of the EOs performed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry identified from 36 to 42 molecules. The chemical difference registered among samples and seasons may explain the different antimicrobial efficacies recorded.

Subjects: subject: mental rotation, postural stability, visuospatial sketchpad, working memory, center of pressure
subject: 796 Sport

description: This study investigated the relationship between mental rotation ability and postural stability, with a focus on the role of the visuospatial sketchpad of working memory, as it has been found to be correlated with both concepts. A total of 87 healthy young adults completed a postural stability task on a force plate, a mental rotation task, and both spatial and object working memory tasks in a counterbalanced order. Bayesian correlations revealed weak positive correlations between mental rotation and postural stability, as well as a correlation between mental rotation and spatial working memory. A weak association was also observed between mental rotation and object working memory. No correlation was found between the working memory components and postural stability. Furthermore, the results showed that spatial working memory did not play a crucial role in predicting postural stability. We conclude that the visuospatial sketchpad, particularly the spatial working memory component, cannot explain the relationship between mental rotation and postural stability.

description: In this study, we identified the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects of two flavonoids (PMT1 and PMT2) from Piper montealegreanum. The antinociceptive effect was evaluated using the classical tests: acetic acid-induced writhing, formalin and hot plate test. PMT1 and PMT2 (0.1, 1, 30 and 100 μmol/kg, i.p.) reduced the writhings, with an ID50 of 0.58 and 0.44 μmol/kg, respectively. Moreover, these flavonoids (100 μmol/kg, i.p.) inhibited paw-licking time in the neurogenic phase of the formalin test, but only PMT2 was active in the inflammatory phase. However, PMT1 and PMT2 (100 μmol/kg, i.p.) did not increase the latency time of the animals in the hot plate. In order to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of these flavonoids, capsaicin-induced ear oedema was carried out. Both flavonoids (100 μmol/kg, i.p.) were active in this model. These results suggest that PMT1 and PMT2 have antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities.

description: In our study, the inhibitory activity of curcuminoids towards Plasmodium falciparum thioredoxin reductase (PfTrxR) was determined using LC-MS-based functional assay and showed that only demethoxycurcumin (DMC) inhibited PfTrxR (IC50: 2 μM). In silico molecular modelling was used to ascertain and further confirm that the binding affinities of curcumin and DMC are towards the dimer interface of PfTrxR. The in vitro antiplasmodial activities of curcumin and DMC were evaluated and shown to be active against chloroquine (CQ)-sensitive (D6 clone) and moderately active against CQ-resistant (W2 clone) strains of Plasmodium falciparum while no cytotoxicity was observed against Vero cells.
The pedagogical benefits of stepping outside the perspective paradigm: challenging the ubiquity of western visual culture

description: The difficulty in stepping out of the prevailing perspectival paradigm by students of design was investigated in a pedagogical exercise. It explores their ability to generate new spatial conventions. In both supporting the notion of the transference of manual perspective as a convention to digital media and offering alternatives to its seemingly reduced expression of experience beyond that of the illusion of depth alone, the exercise described in this paper goes some way towards explaining interaction with 3D media in general.

description: Lippia gracilis Schauer (Verbenaceae) is an aromatic plant widely used in folk medicine in the Brazilian semi-arid region. This work aims at evaluating the anti-microbial activity of essential oils from the leaves of L. gracilis (EOLG) when associated with commercial antibiotics against bacterial resistance. The essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation has 38 chemical constituents with thymol (44.4%), carvacrol (22.2%), p-cymene (6.2%) and α-pinene (5.6%) as major constituents. Microbiological assays were conducted by direct and gaseous contacts. We demonstrated that EOLG has significant synergism with all antibiotics tested. EOLG decreased the minimal inhibitory concentration of the aminoglycosides and improved their zone of inhibition more than 300% against Staphylococcusaureus and 270% against Pseudomonasaeruginosa. These results demonstrate that natural substances present in EOLG have the capacity to modulate bacterial resistance and can be used as an adjuvant therapy against multi-resistant microorganisms such as S. aureus, Escherichia coli and P. aeruginosa.

description: Plant protoplasts provide a starting material to induce pluripotent cell masses in vitro competent for tissue regeneration. Dedifferentiation is associated with large-scale chromatin reorganisation and massive transcriptome reprogramming, characterized by stochastic gene expression. How this cellular variability reflects on chromatin organisation in individual cells and what are the factors influencing chromatin transitions during culturing is largely unknown. High-throughput imaging and a custom, supervised image analysis protocol extracting over 100 chromatin features unravelled a rapid, multiscale dynamics of chromatin patterns which trajectory strongly depends on nutrients availability. Decreased abundance in H1 (linker histones) is hallmark of chromatin transitions. We measured a high heterogeneity of chromatin patterns indicating an intrinsic entropy as hallmark of the initial cultures. We further measured an entropy decline over time, and an antagonistic influence by external and intrinsic factors, such as phytohormones and epigenetic modifiers, respectively. Collectively, our study benchmarks an approach to understand the variability and evolution of chromatin patterns underlying plant cell reprogramming in vitro.

Marketing and consumption of paternity tests
Creators: name: Turney, Lyn
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Initially DNA paternity tests were government policy driven tests to identify biological fathers for child support purposes. It was not a straightforward market though, as government agencies did not buy the tests; rather, they delivered customers to the providers. These consumers were both men and women. It follows that the early markets for testing were quite narrowly focused. In the last decade however, commercially marketed tests have attracted widespread public interest and tapped into a range of different markets. The process of market development was initially serendipitous, driven by the coincidence of interests of industry entrepreneurs and men’s rights activists. This paper briefly traces the development of a market for genetic paternity testing in the Australian context. Drawing from empirical work, it then profiles the various consumers of paternity tests, discussing their reasons for testing, the type of testing (whether the test was accredited or not), the extent to which the test was instigated by them or by someone else and what were the typical outcomes of testing for each consumer category.

From an unconscious state

description: Something is missing from the debates about teaching history in Australian schools, even though their explosive, raw and at times distinctly personal quality must surely be a good sign. If we are not prepared to shout and bang on tables over history and kids, then surely we are, in those all-knowing words of Tom Waits, 'pulling on trouble's braids'. Yet just like school history curriculum itself, the debates about teaching history have become tedious. On one hand, we have those who believe in history as a tool of nation building and civic pride and who decry agenda-driven, ideologically coloured, dogmatic history, infected, in their minds, with a singular contempt for the facts. The counter-argument, of course (the one I resent having to subscribe to because it seems so bleedingly obvious) is that teaching history should essentially be about developing historical consciousness. It should be about giving kids the all-important skills of analysis, critical reflection and tolerance for difference---the skills they need, first and foremost, to live good and engaged lives in the present.

Role oriented adaptive design
Creators: name: Colman, Alan
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Software systems are becoming inexorably more open, distributed, pervasive, mobile and connected. This thesis addresses the problem of how to build adaptive software systems. These systems need to reliably achieve system-level goals in volatile environments, where the system itself may be built from components of uncertain behaviour, and where the requirements for the software system may be changing. This thesis adopts the systemtheoretic concept of ontogenic adaptation from biology, and applies it to software architecture. Ontogenic adaptation is the ability of an individual system to maintain its organisational integrity by reconfiguring and regulating itself. A number of approaches to adaptive software architecture have been recently proposed that, to varying degrees, enable limited adaptive behaviour and reconfiguration, but none possess all the properties needed for ontogenic adaptation. We introduce a meta-model and framework called Role Oriented Adaptive Design (ROAD) that is consistent with the concept of maintaining organisational integrity through ontogenic adaptation. The ROAD meta-model defines software applications as networks of functional roles which are executed by players (objects, components, services, agents, people, or rolecomposites). These flexible organisational structures are adaptive because the relationships (contracts) between roles, and the bindings between roles and players, can be regulated and reconfigured at run-time. Such flexible organisational role-structures are encapsulated into composites each with its own organiser. Because self-managed composites are themselves role-players, these composites can be distributed and recursively composed. The organisers of the composites form a management system over which requirements and performance data pass. Rather than being monolithic constructions, ROAD software applications are dynamic, self-managed compositions of loosely-coupled, and potentially, distributed entities. The concepts in the ROAD meta-model have been implemented in a programming framework which can be extended by the application programmer to create adaptive applications. Central to this framework are dynamic contracts. These contracts define the role structure, control interactions between the role instances, and measure the performance of those interactions. Adaptivity is achieved by monitoring and manipulating these contracts, along with the role-player bindings. Contracts have been implemented using the mechanism of 'association aspects'. The applicability of the ROAD framework to the domain of Service-Oriented Computing is demonstrated. The framework is further evaluated in terms of its ability to express the concept of ontogenic adaptation and also in terms of the overhead its runtime infrastructure imposes on interactions.

description: This study was carried out to evaluate the possible efflux-pump inhibitory activity of a gallotannin 1,2,6-tri-O-galloyl-β-d-glucopyranose isolated from Terminalia chebula fruit against multidrug-resistant (MDR) uropathogenic Escherichia coli. Susceptibility tests of antibiotics and ethidium bromide in the presence and absence of isolated gallotannin and phenylalanine-arginine β-naphthylamide (PAβN) were conducted by using the microbroth dilution assay. Ethidium bromide accumulation and efflux assays were performed spectrofluorometrically to elucidate the possible resistance-modifying activity of isolated gallotanin, if any. Minimum inhibitory concentrations of test antibiotics and ethidium bromide were reduced in the presence of isolated gallotannin and PAβN. The isolated gallotannin also demonstrated efflux-pump inhibitory activity against the studied bacteria as evidenced from ethidium bromide accumulation and efflux assays. The isolated gallotannin, 1,2,6-tri-O-galloyl-β-d-glucopyranose exhibited efflux-pump inhibitory activity which may be one of the possible mechanisms of its antibacterial action against MDR uropathogenic E. coli.

description: The aim of this study was to identify the optimum drying conditions of Piper Nigrum L. berries that would yield quality black pepper. Experimental trials were carried out to find out the drying characteristics of Piper Nigrum L. berries. The berries were dried under natural convection and forced convection. The effects of drying temperature and air flow on drying rate, drying duration, retention of chemical constituents, and the changes to the internal structure of the individual drupes were studied. In natural convection trials, the drying rate was found to have increased at higher drying temperatures. This reduced the drying duration, the moisture retained and hastened the changes in the internal structure of individual drupe. In forced convection trials, the increase in drying rate was obvious only within the first 24 hours of drying at 45°C and 55°C. The increase was significant throughout trials in 35°C. At different drying temperatures studied, the drying duration, the chemical constituents, and the changes to the internal structure of individual drupes were minimally affected by air flow. The Fickian diffusion model for a spherical solid was used to describe the drying characteristics of the berries. This model was solved via the analytic solution and the finite difference method. The moisture distribution within the individual drupe for different drying conditions was simulated. The results obtained from the solutions were validated with the results obtained from experiments conducted in this work using the bulk moisture loss method. The relationship of drying temperature and air flow with the effective diffusivity of these chemical constituents was identified. The validation of the results obtained from the solutions was satisfactory. The effective diffusivity of piperine was much lower than the effective diffusivity of moisture in all trials. The effective diffusivity of moisture was higher when berries were dried at higher drying temperatures while the effective diffusivity of piperine in berries was about the same at all drying temperatures studied except at 30°C.An increase in the speed of air flow neither increased nor decreased the effective diffusivity of all the chemical constituents at 35°C, 45°C and 55°C. In this work, it is concluded that the air flow is a less influential driving force compared to drying temperature on the drying of the berries. The optimum drying condition to produce black pepper is a combination of drying temperature from 45°C to 55°C and air flow from 0.5ms^-1 to 1.0ms^-1.
Load balancing in multiband CDMA

description: Multiband (or multi-carrier) CDMA is a promising approach to increasing the capacity of CDMA systems. The MBA algorithm was recently proposed for allocating new calls to bands based on measured path gains. MBA introduces asymmetry between bands. This paper calculates the average other-cell interference in MBA systems and shows that the system capacity can be increased by loading different bands unequally. It also investigates the interaction of band allocations in neighbouring cells.

description: Bioactivity-guided chemical investigation of a co-culture of marine-derived micro-organisms has yielded one new steroid, 7β-hydroxycholesterol-1β-carboxylic acid (1) with an unprecedented carboxylic acid group at C-1, together with three known steroidal metabolites (2–4). The chemical structures and stereochemistry of the isolated compounds were unambiguously determined based on extensive 1D, 2D NMR and HR-ESI-MS measurements. The isolated compounds were assessed for their cytotoxic activity against four different human tumour cell lines K562 (leukaemia), HCT116 (colon), A2780 (ovary) and its cisplatin-resistant mutant (A2780 CisR), and they revealed moderate activities with IC50 values ranging from 10.0 to 100.0 μM.

description: Black carbon was widely researched due to its significant role on the global carbon cycle and contaminant transport, and most people were concerned about the property of the dissolved black carbon from black carbon. In this work, we focused on the research of the residual those of black carbon. Two kinds of black carbon originated from peanut shell and bamboo were prepared and the corresponding residual black carbons were also obtained by the ultrasonic dissolution process. It was found the chemical and structure properties of residual black carbon changed a lot compared to black carbon. Using methylene blue as a target contaminant, the adsorption capacity of methylene blue by the residual black carbon was greater than that of black carbon. The adsorption capacity of black carbon-bamboo for methylene blue increased from 11.1 mg/g to 16 mg/g after the dissolution process, and the adsorption capacity of black carbon-peanut shell for methylene blue increased from 14 mg/g to 23 mg/g. The various influencing factors, such as the pH, initial concentration, temperature and adsorbent dosage, were systematically studied. The black carbons derived from peanut shell before and after the ultrasonic dissolution process both showed greater adsorption capacities for methylene blue. To further elucidate the methylene blue adsorption process, different kinds of isotherm and kinetics models were applied to simulate the experimental data. The results indicated that the Langmuir isotherm model was suitable to all the carbons before and after the ultrasonic dissolution process, and the pseudo-second-order model showed great simulation for the adsorption of methylene blue. In addition, the analysis of the thermodynamic study revealed that the adsorption processes of methylene blue were endothermic and spontaneous. Overall, results obtained from this work revealed the black carbon after been dissolved showed better adsorption capacity for contaminant.

description: Immigrant Entrepreneurs (IE) are often portrayed as being pushed into self-employment due to employment barriers in their adopted countries. But IE have human resources, like international experience, which can help them form international new ventures (INV). We question the role of IE in INV. We use randomly selected data from 561 young firms from the Comprehensive Australian Study of Entrepreneurial Emergence (CAUSEE) project. We find that IE are overrepresented in INV and have many of the characteristics known to facilitate INV success. These findings have relevance to policy makers, IE and NE.
