description: We present the first results of our pilot study of eight photometrically selected Lyman-continuum (LyC) emitting galaxy candidates from the COSMOS field and focus on their optical emission line ratios. Observations were performed in the H and K bands using the Multi-Object Spectrometer for Infra-Red Exploration (MOSFIRE) instrument at the Keck Observatory, targeting the [O ii], H β, and [Oiii] emission lines. We find that photometrically selected LyC emitting galaxy candidates have high ionization parameters, based on their high [O iii]/[O ii] ratios (O32), with an average ratio for our sample of 2.5 ± 0.2. Preliminary results of our companion Low-Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (LRIS) observations, targeting LyC and Ly α, show that those galaxies with the largest O32 are typically found to also be Ly α emitters. High O32 galaxies are also found to have tentative non-zero LyC escape fractions (f esc (LyC)) based on u band photometric detections. These results are consistent with samples of highly ionized galaxies, including confirmed LyC emitting galaxies from the literature. We also perform a detailed comparison between the observed emission line ratios and simulated line ratios from density bounded H ii regions modelled using the photoionization code MAPPINGS V. Estimates of f esc (LyC) for our sample fall in the range from 0.0 to 0.23 and suggest possible tension with published correlations between O32 and f esc (LyC), adding weight to dichotomy of arguments in the literature. We highlight the possible effects of clumpy geometry and mergers that may account for such tension.
Australia's greyfields: overlooked middle suburbs offer new residential solutions
Creators: name: Newton, Peter
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Australia's population is projected to reach more than 35 million people by mid-century, according to ABS and Treasury forecasts. Over 70 per cent of this growth will be in our capital cities. Already, this acceleration is exerting huge pressure on Australia's major capital cities and their housing markets. Designed to achieve more compact urban development, metropolitan planning strategies for Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane require that more than half of new and future housing be constructed in established, middle-ring suburbs with the remainder in traditional outer 'greenfields'. These strategies are coupled with other sustainable city objectives related to reducing resource use (energy and water consumption, car-based travel, housing space etc) and greenhouse gas emissions. However, these plans are failing. This failure is largely due to an inability by the government, development industry and local communities to tackle the following solution---the creation of a practical and replicable model to regenerate Australia's 'greyfield' suburbs.

description: Background: Reducing harms of youth substance use is a global priority, with parents identified as a key target for efforts to mitigate these harms. Much of the research informing parental responses to youth substance use are grounded in abstinence and critiqued as ineffective and unresponsive to youth contexts. Parental provision of substances, particularly alcohol, is a widely used approach, which some parents adopt in an attempt to minimize substance use harms; however, research indicates that this practice may actually increase harms. There is an absence of research exploring youth perspectives on parental approaches to substance use or the approaches youth find helpful in minimizing substance use-related harms. Methods: This paper draws on interviews with youth aged 13–18 (N = 89) conducted within the Researching Adolescent Distress and Resilience (RADAR) study in three communities in British Columbia, Canada. An ethnographic approach was used to explore youth perspectives on mental health and substance use within intersecting family, social, and community contexts. This analysis drew on interview data relating to youth perspectives on parental approaches to substance use. A multisite qualitative analysis (MSQA) was conducted to examine themes within each research site and between all three sites to understand how youth perceive and respond to parental approaches to substance use in different risk environment contexts. Results: Within each site, youths’ experiences of and perspectives on substance use were shaped by their parents’ approaches, which were in turn situated within local social, geographic, and economic community contexts. Youth descriptions of parental approaches varied by site, though across all sites, youth articulated that the most effective approaches were those that resonated with the realities of their lives. Zero-tolerance approaches were identified as unhelpful and unresponsive, while approaches that were aligned with harm reduction principles were viewed as relevant and supportive. Conclusions: Youth perspectives illustrate that parental approaches to substance use that are grounded in harm reduction principles resonate with young people’s actual experiences and can support the minimization of harms associated with substance use. Evidence-based guidance is needed that supports parents and young people in adopting more contextually responsive harm reduction approaches to youth substance use.

description: Background: Endogenous Peptide Inhibitor of CXCR4 (EPI-X4) is a natural antagonist of the CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4). EPI-X4 is a 16-mer peptide that is released from human serum albumin (HSA) by acidic aspartic proteases such as Cathepsin D and E. Since human serum albumin (HSA) is an important medicinal substance we asked whether different pharmaceutical HSA products contain EPI-X4 which could have been generated during manufacturing and whether HSA can serve as a substrate for cathepsins despite of the presence of stabilizers like caprylate. Methods: Eight pharmaceutical HSA preparations representing all currently used fractionation technologies were analyzed. The previously described specific EPI-X4 ELISA was used for quantification; in vitro EPI-X4 generation by acidification in the presence or absence of cathepsins was followed by quantification with ELISA. Results: None of the pharmaceutical HSA preparations tested contained EPI-X4. Acidification of HSA did not generate EPI-X4. Addition of cathepsins D and E to acidified HSA yielded high concentrations of EPI-X4 in all HSA preparations, indistinguishable between individual products. Conclusion: Medicinal HSA preparations per se do not contain EPI-X4, but will replenish its precursor which can be cleaved to EPI-X4 in vivo, environmental conditions permitting.
On the computation of thermo-physical properties of hydrocarbon fuels in a high pressure oxidizing environment.
Creators: name: Kapoor, Subhash Chander.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1970
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Mechanical.

description: Two methods have been presented for the evaluation of the composition of the different phases of hydrocarbon fuel-oxidizer syctem. The first method, assuming the vapor phase to consist of oxidizer only, gives the composition of the liquid phase. In the second method, a realistic approach that the liquid and vapor phases consist of the oxidizer and fuel both, a representation of the actual situation encountered in the combustion of the fuel droplet, has been adopted. The liquid and vapor phase compositions have been predicted and compared with experimental results for a number of systems. This technique is particularly useful for the systems for which no data other than the temperature and total pressure is available. The method for the evaluation of the interaction co-efficient between the components of the system has also been presented.
Strength reduction factor of GFRP-reinforced shear walls

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Experimental analysis of reinforced shear-wall with glass-fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) showed its applicability in resisting lateral loads with no strength degradation, acceptable deformation capacity and energy dissipation as illustrated in an earlier article by the authors. The observed performance of GFRP-reinforced shear walls strongly suggested the necessity of proposing design procedure for such lateral resisting member. To propose design guidelines, however, determination of the elastic and inelastic deformation and evaluation of force modification factor for GFRP-reinforced shear walls are required. Accordingly, methods for estimating the virtual yield for GFRP-reinforced shear wall and maximum allowable displacement were proposed with suggestions for appropriate definitions. The force modification factor was estimated based on the idealized curve of the tested GFRP-reinforced shear walls.
Right-Wing Populism and the Representation of Immigrants on Social Media. A Critical Multimodal Analysis
Creators: name: Lorenzetti, Maria Ivana
Publisher: name: Iperstoria
Year: 2020
Subjects: racist discourse; immigration; right-wing populism; critical discourse studies; multimodal critical discourse analysis; social media

description: This paper presents a multimodal critical discourse analysis of a sample from a larger corpus of multimodal posts about immigration from the social media pages of right-wing populist leaders Donald Trump and Matteo Salvini. Drawing on Van Leeuwen’s framework for the representation of social actors, we investigate how multimodal resources contribute to shaping immigration discourse and to its bias, highlighting exclusionary ideologies through the recontextualisation of social practices. Our analysis reveals how the strategic synergy of images, videos, slogan-like language and the social affordances of Web 2.0 enables the two leaders to spread their nativist propaganda and emphasise the view of immigrants as a threat to security. The othering of immigrants as non-natives is enacted through biased representation based on covert racist stereotypes. At the same time, visual anti-immigration rhetoric allows the leaders to “build their people” and self-promote their role as gate-keepers of the nation-state.

description: We present an analysis of the integrated neutral hydrogen (H i) properties for 27 galaxies within nine low-mass, gas-rich, late-type dominated groups which we denote 'Choirs'. We find that majority of the central Choir galaxies have average H i content: they have a normal gas-mass fraction with respect to isolated galaxies of the same stellar mass. In contrast, we find more satellite galaxies with a lower gas-mass fraction than isolated galaxies of the same stellar mass. A likely reason for the lower gas content in these galaxies is tidal stripping. Both the specific star formation rate and the star formation efficiency of the central group galaxies are similar to galaxies in isolation. The Choir satellite galaxies have similar specific star formation rate as galaxies in isolation, therefore satellites that exhibit a higher star formation efficiency simply owe it to their lower gas-mass fractions. We find that the most H i massive galaxies have the largest H i discs and fall neatly on to the H i size-mass relation, while outliers are galaxies that are experiencing interactions. We find that high specific angular momentum could be a reason for galaxies to retain the large fraction of H i gas in their discs. This shows that for the Choir groups with no evidence of interactions, as well as those with traces of minor mergers, the internal galaxy properties dominate over the effects of residing in a group. The probed galaxy properties strengthen evidence that the Choir groups represent the early stages of group assembly.

description: This paper addresses the construction of the concepts of populism and anti-populism and their metaphorical realisations in British news discourse, and specifically in the Daily Mail and The Guardian, in 2016, a crucial year for populist politics. The analysis of two corpora made of articles from the two newspapers is based on the methodology offered by Corpus Linguistics and Corpus Approach to Critical Metaphor Analysis. The metaphors of populism emerging from the analysis highlight a substantially standardised use of the metaphor POPULISM IS (UPWARD) MOVEMENT, both for populists and anti-populists, but with diverging evaluations. The authors argue that metaphors play a key role in orienting the public perception of populism based on shared modes of understanding social and political life.

The Proudly Australian Populist Discourse Analysis of Pauline Hanson’s Language
Creators: name: Napolitano, Antonella
Publisher: name: Iperstoria
Year: 2020
Subjects: populism; critical discourse analysis; Australia; immigration

description: The resurgence of populism across the world has favoured the formation of right-wing populist parties in Australia and energised Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party. The party has enjoyed two iterations of electoral success in the Australian federation, in the 1990s and from 2016. At present, Hanson is the leader of a party with two seats in the federal Senate and supporting the governing Liberal Party in Western Australia. At first glance, she may be seen as a typical xenophobic populist, yet her figure and her message present specific peculiarities which give her surprising popularity with Australian voters. This paper analyses a corpus of some of the most controversial speeches delivered by Pauline Hanson during her political career, in a timespan ranging from 1996 to 2019. A Critical Discourse Analysis framework is employed to uncover the ideological discourse construed by the populist leader. She portrays herself as an ordinary Australian who acts in the name of the people and gives voice to the people. Her discourse entails the populist division between “the pure people” and “the corrupt elite,” imbued with racism, particularly towards Australia’s Indigenous population and a State perceived as favouring it, but also towards the Asian and Islamic communities.

description: La politique canadienne en matière de biodiversité compte des failles importantes, notamment l'adoption tardive d'une loi protégeant les espèces en péril. Au cours des dernières années, le gouvernement fédéral à tenté à trois reprises d'adopter une législation sur les espèces en péril, et le dernier projet, qui a reçu la sanction royale en décembre 2002, a été sévèrement critiqué par plusieurs observateurs. Nous croyons que le gouvernement fédéral a longtemps attendu avant de mettre en place une loi sur les espèces en péril parce qu'il considérait durant de nombreuses années, que dans le contexte du fédéralisme les coûts politiques associés à une telle mesure étaient plus importants que les bénéfices. Plus précisement, nous démontrerons que la théorie mise de l'avant par Kathryn Harrison sur le calcul des coûts et bénéfices sur la mise en place d'une politique (notamment en terme d'appui dans l'opinion publique), est une explication crédible pour comprendre l'élaboration d'une politique environnementale canadienne sur les espèces en péril.

description: Electropolymerization of large area, ultrathin polydopamine films with dimensions up to 2.5 cm2 and their transfer to various substrates is realized. Phospholipid nanodiscs containing a model protein are introduced into the polymer film. Such hybrid films with different incorporated membrane proteins give a platform to obtain a better understanding of how transport in a cell functions. Cellular membranes have long served as an inspiration for nanomaterial research. The preparation of ultrathin polydopamine (PDA) films with integrated protein pores containing phospholipids and an embedded domain of a membrane protein glycophorin A as simplified cell membrane mimics is reported. Large area, ultrathin PDA films are obtained by electropolymerization on gold surfaces with 10–18 nm thickness and dimensions of up to 2.5 cm2. The films are transferred from gold to various other substrates such as nylon mesh, silicon, or substrates containing holes in the micrometer range, and they remain intact even after transfer. The novel transfer technique gives access to freestanding PDA films that remain stable even at the air interfaces with elastic moduli of ≈6–12 GPa, which are higher than any other PDA films reported before. As the PDA film thickness is within the range of cellular membranes, monodisperse protein nanopores, so‐called “nanodiscs,” are integrated as functional entities. These nanodisc‐containing PDA films can serve as semi‐permeable films, in which the embedded pores control material transport. In the future, these simplified cell membrane mimics may offer structural investigations of the embedded membrane proteins to receive an improved understanding of protein‐mediated transport processes in cellular membranes.

description: The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) is a ligand inducible sequence specific transcription factor belonging to the nuclear receptor superfamily. In this study, I report the presence of a second NLS (NL2) in MR that mediates a slower translocation of MR to the nucleus in an agonist-dependent manner. I also report that the LBD of MR, containing the NL2, could contain a sequence that prolongs nuclear subcellular localization of the receptor or alternatively lacks an export signal. I report that MR is degraded by the proteasome, that addition of steroid induces further degradation and that the N-terminal portion of MR is responsible for the appearance of higher molecular weight forms of the receptor after aldosterone treatment. Finally, we identified, by using the PESTfind software, a PEST signal starting at position 686 to 711, but confirm that the lysine residue at position 712 is not an acceptor ubiquitin site.

Automated statistical forecasting for quality attributes of web services
Creators: name: Abdellah, Ayman Ahmed Amin
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Web services provide a standardized solution for service-oriented architecture. They are characterized by quality of service (QoS) attributes monitored to ensure conformance to requirements. However, the reactive detection of QoS violations can lead to critical problems as the violation has already occurred and consequent costs may be unavoidable. To address these problems, this thesis proposes a collection of QoS characteristic-specific automated forecasting approaches based on time-series modeling. These forecasting approaches provide the basis for a general automated forecasting approach for QoS attributes. The accuracy and performance of the proposed forecasting approaches are evaluated using real-world QoS datasets of Web services.

description: Black English has recently entered the media spotlight with the passing of the Ebonics resolution by the Oakland School Board on Dec. 18, 1996. In this resolution, the school board unanimously voted to recognize Black English or "Ebonics" (a term which combines the words "ebony" and "phonetics")(LeLand & Joseph, 1997, p. 78) as the primary language of many of its students, and to teach students in their primary language in order to maintain the "legitimacy and richness" of the language, and to help students master standard English. Needless to say, the resolution was met with highly charged arguments - some in support, but many in opposition.

description: En allant aux racines des problèmes ethniques qui ont secoué le Rwanda depuis 1959, on a souvent tendance à amalgamer missionnaires catholiques et administration belge quant au rôle joue dans la création de l'idéologie ethniste. Pourtant, chaque acteur avait sa mission à accomplir dans le pays. Les intérêts ne pouvaient donc pas concorder totalement à part ceux d'ordre culturel. Leurs méthodes de travail ne correspondaient pas non plus. L'évangélisation était le but primordial des missionnaires. Et tout agissement missionnaire tournait autour d'elle. Quant aux Belges, il s'agissait d'une administration coloniale et tout ce qui en découlait. C'est dans cette optique que cette thèse a choisi l'isolement de l'Église catholique missionnaire dans les débuts de la crise ethnique au cours de la période coloniale et dans la Première République. L'étude suit l'évolution de cette Institution de sa naissance en 1900 jusqu'en 1973, date de la "rwandisation" de la hiérarchie ecclésiastique. Elle analyse les problèmes rencontres par les missionnaires, leurs succès, leurs méthodes, leurs échecs, leur collusion avec les pouvoirs temporels. Cette évolution de l'Église est étudiée parallèlement avec l'ethnisation de la société rwandaise pour cerner le rôle éventuel joue par le clergé. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Background: The Scalidophora (Kinorhyncha, Loricifera and Priapulida) have an important phylogenetic position as early branching ecdysozoans, yet the architecture of their nervous organ systems is notably underinvestigated. Without such information, and in the absence of a stable phylogenetic context, we are inhibited from producing adequate hypotheses about the evolution and diversification of ecdysozoan nervous systems. Here, we utilize confocal laser scanning microscopy to characterize serotonergic, tubulinergic and FMRFamidergic immunoreactivity patterns in a comparative neuroanatomical study with three species of Echinoderes, the most speciose, abundant and diverse genus within Kinorhyncha. Results: Neuroanatomy in Echinoderes as revealed by acetylated α-tubulin immunoreactivity includes a circumpharyngeal brain and ten neurite bundles in the head region that converge into five longitudinal nerves within the trunk. The ventral nerve cord is ganglionated, emerging from the brain with two connectives that converge in trunk segments 2–3, and diverge again within segment 8. The longitudinal nerves and ventral nerve cord are connected by two transverse neurites in segments 2–9. Differences among species correlate with the number, position and innervation of cuticular structures along the body. Patterns of serotoninergic and FMRFamidergic immunoreactivity correlate with the position of the brain neuropil and the ventral nerve cord. Distinct serotonergic and FMRFamidergic somata are associated with the brain neuropil and specific trunk segments along the ventral nerve cord. Conclusions: Neural architecture is highly conserved across all three species, suggesting that our results reveal a pattern that is common to more than 40% of the species within Kinorhyncha. The nervous system of Echinoderes is segmented along most of the trunk; however, posterior trunk segments exhibit modifications that are likely associated with sensorial, motor or reproductive functions. Although all kinorhynchs show some evidence of an externally segmented trunk, it is unclear whether external segmentation matches internal segmentation of nervous and muscular organ systems across Kinorhyncha, as we observed in Echinoderes. The neuroanatomical data provided in this study not only expand the limited knowledge on kinorhynch nervous systems but also establish a comparative morphological framework within Scalidophora that will support broader inferences about the evolution of neural architecture among the deepest branching lineages of the Ecdysozoa.
Creation of a database linking contextual small-area characteristics to successful aging: Contributions from GIS science

description: While medical geography has long contributed to epidemiological studies, applications of GIS in health research are now only beginning to be realized. Individual-level variables such as genetics or lifestyle do not fully explain the phenomena of health and disease---social and physical environments play a role in determining the health of populations as well. Using individual-level data from a cohort of close to 5000 elderly Canadians, GIS was used to create a spatial database of neighborhood socio-demographic and economic characteristics, based on proximity and containment analysis, to aid in understanding how environmental context influences successful aging in Canada. The work done for this thesis resulted in the creation of the first national combined spatial and aspatial database composed of demographic, socio-economic and GIS-derived local contextual spatial data linked to individual successful aging outcome data via postal code.

Populist and Anti-Populist Discourse Concerning African-Americans. A Critical Discourse Analysis of the Central Park Five Case
Creators: name: Limerick, Philip P.
Publisher: name: Iperstoria
Year: 2020
Subjects: Populism; Critical Discourse Studies; African-Americans; Central Park Five; Donald Trump

description: While much work has been done on discourse and populism in Europe concerning various minority groups, little is understood about how populist ideologies are manifested through discourse in current US political and media discourses concerning African-Americans. Using the framework of Critical Discourse Analysis, the present study seeks to uncover such discursive patterns. Based on Wodak’s (2015) conception of populism as tied to fear, scapegoating, and ‘othering,’ the current paper aims to address populist discourse in US (social) media. A collection of diverse online media is employed (news articles, YouTube videos) to analyze the populist discourse of Donald Trump, his supporters, and his anti-populist opponents. Particular attention is paid to (anti) racist discourse concerning African-Americans, primarily the case of the Central Park Five. Specifically, the discursive strategies in these types of discourses are examined in order to explain how populism is structured and manifested in discourse, affording the unique opportunity to further understand the unfolding of populist text and talk in its recent and ongoing stages. Findings indicate that the most prominent discursive strategies that characterize these media, and that manifest populist attitudes are despective lexical choice, legitimation, evasion, and exclusionary rhetoric. This qualitative analysis reveals the subtle ways in which African-Americans are discriminated against through language use and sheds light on (anti) populist ideologies in US media. Additionally, this work tries to fill a gap in exploring resistance discourse (i.e. anti-populist), an understudied area in the critical discourse studies literature.

Populist Islamophobia. The Australian Refugee Crisis on Twitter
Creators: name: Grasso, Arianna

Subjects: Queensland populism; islamophobia; Critical Stylistics; Corpus Linguistics; Twitter-based analysis

description: Over the past twenty years, Australia has been one of the many countries challenged by the escalation of the global migrant crisis. In particular, since the 2012 reimplementation of the Pacific Solution, namely the enactment of the offshore detention policy, media manipulation on the matter has intensified. In this respect, Australian politicians have, in a bipartisan fashion, instrumentalized the asylum seeker issue to foment nationalist and sovereign discourses both offline and online, aiming to create consensus among voters and hostility towards migrants. Focusing on social media’s new role as virtual political battlegrounds, this paper explores the so-called Antipodean right-wing populism, and the extent to which it is enacted on Twitter. In the paper, populism is conceptualized as a “cultural-relational performative style,” that is, as a geo-historical event, which involves different digital and political actors who share persuasive rhetorical strategies. On this premise, this study aims to analyze narratives constructed around the refugee crisis articulated on Twitter by selected populist leaders in Queensland State. The research relies on a mixed methodology that combines Corpus Linguistics to elicit quantitative data from the Twitter research corpus, and approaches of Critical Stylistics to unveil the ideological substratum underlying the political content of tweets. The outcomes of the study will show how populists in Queensland State are prone to juxtapose, hence equate, Muslim immigration with Islamic terrorism, by employing specific stylistic strategies.

Enemies of the People. A Multimodal Critical Analysis of Populism, the Popular Press and the Judiciary in Post-Brexit Britain
Creators: name: Boyd, Michael S.

Subjects: populism; Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA); Multimodality; popular press; Brexit

description: The article provides an in-depth critical analysis of an article published by the UK mid-market press newspaper the Daily Mail criticizing the role of High Court judges for ruling that Parliamentary approval was necessary to trigger Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU) and formally leave the EU. It argues that the article and the newspaper itself can be considered populist through the discourse strategies that they adopt to represent the pro-Brexit voters and public positively and negatively the three judges involved in the High Court decision. The investigation is based on a fine-tuned multimodal analysis of the newspaper report and demonstrates that textual means are combined with visual means to denigrate the three judges responsible for the decision but further expanded to the entire judiciary and pro-Remain supporters and to legitimize the voice of the “people” of the Daily Mail or those 17.4 million Britons who voted to leave the UK in the referendum of June 2016.

Dramatic History/Historical Drama. Staging 9/11 as Aristotelian Tragedy
Creators: name: Balestrino, Alice
Publisher: name: Iperstoria
Year: 2020
Subjects: post-9/11 rhetoric; 9/11Memorial Museum; Aristotle’s Poetics

description: This article intends to inquire the official narrative of the 9/11 terrorist attacks exhibited at the 9/11 Memorial Museum as a mise-en-scène of a tragedy according to the definition theorized by Aristotle in his Poetics. Indeed, the 9/11MM stages a master narrative of the attacks that frames the historical reconstruction and nurtures the memorial endeavor on the basis of Aristotle’s unity of time and place; predominance of performance over narration; explicit distinction between heroes and villains; and the inspiration, in the spectator, of the empathic feelings of fear and pity ultimately leading to the catharsis. In turn, this enactment may be read as the apex of the “us vs. them” rhetoric, inaugurated by President Bush in the wake of the attacks and subsequently endorsed by other politicians and the media alike.
