description: We present a comprehensive theoretical framework for calculating the linear and nonlinear optical responses of time-periodic quantum systems. Using density matrix evolution in the Floquet basis and adopting the length gauge, our approach incorporates both interband and intraband contributions of the position operator, enabling detailed insights into photon-assisted transitions and their associated optical phenomena. Notably, we identify a divergent ac response to dc fields in Floquet systems, reminiscent of a Drude peak at finite frequencies. This framework generalizes to optical tensor conductivity calculations at arbitrary perturbation orders and captures various DC photocurrents, including shift current, injection current, and Berry dipole contributions, under specific limits. To demonstrate the versatility of our method, we compute linear and nonlinear optical conductivities for one- and two-dimensional systems, revealing phenomena such as band inversions, j-photon-assisted transitions, and high harmonic generation. These results highlight the interplay between periodic driving and nonlinear optical effects, offering different avenues for exploring dynamical topological properties and their applications in ultrafast spintronics, optoelectronics, and strongly correlated systems. Our findings provide a robust platform for analyzing the complex optical behavior of driven quantum systems and guiding experimental investigations in this rapidly evolving field.

Quantum kinetic theory of quadratic responses

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recent work has revealed a general procedure for incorporating disorder into the semiclassical model of carrier transport, whereby the predictions of quantum linear response theory can be recovered within a quantum kinetic approach based on a disorder-averaged density-matrix formalism. Here, we present a comprehensive generalization of this framework to the nonlinear response regime. In the presence of an electrostatic potential and random impurities, we solve the quantum Liouville equation to second order in an applied electric field and derive the carrier densities and equations of motion. In addition to the anomalous velocity arising from the Berry curvature and the Levi-Civita connection of the quantum metric tensor, a host of extrinsic velocities emerge in the equations of motion, reflecting the various possibilities for random interband walks of the carriers in this transport regime. Furthermore, several scattering and conduction channels arise, which can be classified in terms of distinct physical processes, revealing numerous unexplored mechanisms for generating nonlinear responses in disordered condensed matter systems.

description: Introduction: Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent globally, even in countries that are considered to have a ‘sunny’ climate, such as Australia. Twenty three percent of the Australian population are considered vitamin D deficient (25(OH)D <50nmol/L), with levels increasing to 36% in the winter (Australian Health Survey 2011-12). Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the University of Wollongong (34.42° S) and primarily explored the serum 25(OH)D women in winter and spring in 2020 and 2021 (n=100, >18 years, pre- or post- menopausal). Ethnicity and skin type were self-defined. Serum 25(OH)D was measured through liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, bone density through dual energy x-ray absorptiometry and sun exposure through a polysulphone film badge. Results: The mean age of the participants was 41.41 ± 15.46 years. N=98 women had a valid 25(OH)D measurement. Of these, n=1.0 (1.0%) were deficient (<25nmol/L), n=14.0 (14.3%) were insufficient (25-50nmol/L) and n=41.0 (41.8%) were sufficient (>50nmol/L) and n=42.0 (42.9%) were considered optimal (>75nmol/L). Mean 25(OH)D was significantly different across skin type groups, (F(4,93)=2.6, p=0.04) whilst average sun exposure significantly predicted 25(OH)D (F(1, 91) = 5.276, p=0.02). There was a significant but small positive correlation between 25(OH)D and total BMD, r(96) = 0.27, p=0.007. Analysis is ongoing to explore vitamin D dietary intake and prediction of vitamin D deficiency. Conclusion: Vitamin D status in this sample was found to be higher than in previous Australian studies, which is favourable given the essential role vitamin D plays in calcium homeostasis and bone health. However, further research into vitamin D dietary intake is crucial in Australia, given the increased risk of melanoma as a result of excessive sun exposure as well as the lack of naturally occurring vitamin D containing foods or fortified products in the food supply.

description: Nowadays, food has reached a great level of differentiation, linked to processes, products, and ethical issues as well (Aprile, et al., 2012; Grunert, 2002). Growing consumers awareness of specific product attributes related to health, origin, environment and ethical concerns is shaping a wider concept of food quality (Feldmann & Hamm, 2015; Grunert, 2005). In this scenario, modern agri-food sector builds a new quality construct by integrating search, experience and credence attributes in an innovative way (Oliver, 1980). In particular, the role of credence characteristics to achieve product differentiation is increasing in importance (Fernqvist & Ekelund, 2014). Following the wider concept of food quality, credence attributes cover different dimensions from health and production methods to environmental and social orientation (Moser, et al., 2011). Since such characteristics cannot be verified, credence attributes require standards or certifications to be communicated and to ensure consumers (Scarpa & Del Giudice, 2004; Meixner & Haas, 2016; Sheldon, 2017). This process led to a more specific and complex system of food public and private standards starting from basic elements as origin, to other credence aspects that are decreasingly linked to the intrinsic attributes of the product (Giampietri, et al., 2016).

Subjects: Higher Education, Teacher education, Teacher professional development, Covid-19

description: Teacher training is a key component of the educational process, as it constitutes a significant part of the teacher’s continuous professional development (CPD). The current poster presentation attempts to identify the opportunities and challenges in literature regarding the online training opportunities offered to English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers whether inservice or preservice at a global context (internationally). In such a COVID-affected educational situation, the current presentation attempts also to identify how, and to what extent, online EFL teacher training was beneficial in developing teachers’ competencies, concepts and values related to the teaching profession, and EFL teaching in particular. Using a review of literature process, results show that online EFL teacher training has acted as a backup to the process of continuous teacher development, particularly in the time of the pandemic. Further, online training could compensate for international teacher development opportunities through offering teachers (whether in-service or pre-service) the space to get various internationally-based trainings at the comfort of their homes. However, this does not go without the risk of oversimplification of the process of teacher training as expressed in some published papers – indicating some procedures should be in place to standardise the training process and the certification of the training provided. The current presentation could thus help illustrate the benefits of teacher training along with some challenges that might hinder the training process. Results are discussed particularly relating to the case of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the educational implications gained from that global situation. Directions for future research are also presented so as future researchers could find the results of this review a drive for them to conduct research on online teacher training using other methodology or samples.

Information management and sharing practices within a construction project process
Creators: name: Vo-Tran, Huan
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Information can be seen as one of the most important assets that an organisation can possess. Utilised correctly, information can allow an organisation irrespective of its industry or domain, to communicate, operate, plan, and make decisions that would ultimately be beneficial to itself, its clients and any other entities that interact with it. Although there are many different types of systems, policies and procedures an organisation could implement to manage and share their information, these are not always used consistently and it ultimately comes down to an individual’s experiences and preferences in handling the information. Through the lens of an information audit, the following study investigated the information management and sharing practices between a team of stakeholders as they cycled through the defects inspection process for a complex, purpose-built, multi-million dollar educational building for a prominent Australian university. It explored how the stakeholders’ experience, personal and enterprise information management practices, tacit and explicit knowledge played a role in the management and sharing of information.

Data was collected over an intensive fourteen-week period whereby the researcher made use of a combination of techniques, which included: document analysis, on-site observations and one-on-one interviews. Academic rigour was maintained through the triangulation of the data collection process where experienced researchers who possessed specific domain knowledge in information management and construction were invited to participate in order to validate the primary researcher’s observations. The results from the study revealed several key findings. The first alluded to the fact that although enterprise information management practices were in place to deal with the volume and complexity of the information presented, these practices were often supplemented by the personal information management practices adopted by the stakeholders. The second indicated that stakeholders who possessed greater amounts of experience tended to rely upon the use of their tacit knowledge to manage and share information. Whereas stakeholders who possessed lesser amounts of experience had a tendency towards the use of explicit forms of documentation. Finally, from the perspective of information management practices within the construction industry, the findings suggested that stakeholders perceived information management under the premise of construction management as this was their primary area of domain-specific knowledge. Having a greater understanding of these factors could facilitate a decrease in the number of defects and re-work that often occur in every construction project. If the amount of re-work in construction projects can be reduced or eliminated, then the construction process effectiveness could be improved.
The academic acculturation experience of international students. Insights from an evaluation of the RMIT University's 'International Student Stories' website
Creators: name: Morgan, Barbara
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Often the difficulties that international students face in adjusting to study in Australia are attributed to poor language levels. However, academic and pedagogical acculturation issues are also a significant cause of miscommunication, misunderstanding and disappointment for international students and their teachers. This research project evaluates a RMIT Learning and Teaching Investment Fund project which developed an academic acculturation website for international students. The focus of the website ‘International Student Stories’ (ISS) consists of mini advice segments in short video clips from experienced international students. Their stories focus on the lessons they have learned studying in Australia around four key areas of academic acculturation. The rationale for the project and its evaluation draws on a significant body of research on the impact of cultural styles in academic transition and on increasing evidence of the difficulties international students face adjusting to study in Australia. The research employs a program evaluation methodology, utilising data obtained from web surveys and focus groups. Revealed in the research findings are the significant challenges international students face to their identities as successful learners in adjusting to new classroom environments, differing cultural styles of academic discourse, knowledge creation and attribution as well as the nature of critique. It is argued that while the ISS website is an effective, introductory resource for international students, the successful participation of international students requires that the discourses of university disciplines need to be explicitly taught within the students’ programs of study.

Quark Stars as Hideouts For Color-spin-locked Quark Matter: Implications for Powering High-energy Electromagnetic Emissions

description: The possibility of compact stars as hideouts for color-spin-locked (CSL) quark matter (QM) is investigated in both MIT bag model and Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. Within the framework of NJL model, the idea of absolutely stable quark matter and the existence of conventional pure quark star (QS) are not supported; in addition, there appears to be no stable hybrid configuration above $2M_\odot$ as the hideout for CSL QM. The stable configurations of massive strange quark stars could be reproduced in the MIT bag model with QCD corrections being taken into account; moreover, they could act as the hiding place for the CSL QM. An interesting scenario is proposed that the phase transition to the CSL phase could occur in the cooling process. The CSL quark matter is an electromagnetic (EM) superconductor of Type-I, and a complete Meissner effect is expected. However, the analysis for this sizable superconductor indicates that most of the magnetic field is frozen inside the quark core with a critical strength, while in some special cases a small fraction could be expelled from a thin layer near the surface in a short time. The analysis on energetics and time scale suggests that this process could act as an inducement mechanism to power typical fast radio bursts, but as a single source of energy, it is unlikely to generate other EM emissions such as gamma-ray bursts and giant flares.

Linear motor

description: This presentation describes a novel deployment method for thin-wall composite tape springs that are suitable for high tip force deployment applications for situations in which reliability and low mass systems are of critical importance. Traditional composite tape springs deploy via an electric rotary motor and are limited by a failure mode that occurs when a force opposes the deployment (tip force). Unlike traditional rotary deployment, the piezoelectric linear shear motor does not suffer this failure mode, is less massive, and does not generate a magnetic field. The motor uses legs composed of piezoelectric longitudinal stack actuators and piezoelectric shear stack actuators to displace the tape springs through friction. The actuation sequencing of these legs controls the displacement of the tape-spring, and the repetition of the sequence generates large scale movements. A limitation on the maximum tip force of the linear motor is imposed by the possibility of the tape-spring being forced to slide through the linear motor. This maximum is dependent upon the friction force within the linear motor, and hence can be characterised by the coefficient of static friction between the linear motor and the tape-spring and the normal force acting on the tape-spring. The coefficient of static friction was evaluated through inclined plane sliding experiments. A limitation on the linear motor normal force is the deformation and damage it may cause to the tape-spring. Finite element analysis was performed to investigate the clamped motor conditions on the deformation and strain of the thin wall composite tape spring. Preliminary results indicate the maximum allowable tip force for the successful operation of this novel piezoelectric linear shear motor for thin carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites. Further work is required to determine the composite's viscoelastic response to the operation sequence and its effect on the maximum allowable tip force.

Methods of feature film screenwriting for the female Muslim protagonist
Creators: name: TARIQ, AHLAM
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This practice-led research explores screenwriting structures which allow the creation of a strong, triumphant female Muslim protagonist on screen. To achieve this goal, I employ the principles of screenwriting theorists including Syd Field, Maureen Murdock, Robert McKee, Linda Seger and Lisa Dethridge to analyse three-act screenwriting structure. My research indicates that female Muslim characters are often depicted as victims who lose or even die at the end of their stories. I examine various traditional and contemporary images of Muslim women in Hollywood and contrast them with the case-study screenplay, Erin Brockovich. I examine post-colonial theories of Edward said, Homi Bhabha, and Franz Fanon and discuss the historical representation of ‘the other’ onscreen. I relate this theory to the representation of Muslim woman in Hollywood with the help of film critic Jack G Shaheen and post-colonial feminists Mohja Kahf and Marnia Lazreg. I explore the relationship between Western audiences and culturally diverse women referring to the theory of Minha Trinh T, Chandra Talpade Mohanty and Gayatri Spivak. In conclusion, I explore how these theoretical and technical insights were useful in relation to my screenplay project Shaheen.

The project screenplay Shaheen is about a Pakistani Muslim woman who struggles against the family tradition of arranged marriage. Shaheen claims her independence by moving to a remote village to open a girl’s school, but one of her students is abducted by the village chief. When Shaheen tries to rescue her student, the village chief threatens to close the school. Shaheen eventually succeeds in her struggle to save her pupil and defeat the chief. In contrast to the often negative stereotypes of Muslim women portrayed in Hollywood, my project is focused on employing the Hollywood style three-act structure to craft a female Muslim protagonist who is strong and capable in response to cultural challenges.

description: African swine fever is an economically important haemorrhagic disease of domestic pigs, caused by the large double stranded DNA virus African swine fever virus (ASFV)1. Despite being shown to have some protective effects, early research quickly ruled out the possibility of ASFV-specific antibodies having neutralising capabilities2. Key neutralisation studies have all used non-purified tissue culture supernatant as a source of virus, however recent work has shown that this can trigger macropinocytosis in host macrophages, allowing ASFV to bypass clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME)3. This project aims to re-investigate neutralising antibody activity to determine whether this has affected our understanding of neutralisation. ASFV-specific antibodies targeting CME may be present, and may have protective effects against infection, however the effects of these antibodies might not have been detected in previous studies. This work will investigate antibodies that can recognise purified virus and the role they may play in preventing the initial stages of host cell entry. This work will also investigate other protective effects of ASFV-specific antibodies, such as antibody- and complement-mediated cytolysis. By using purified virus we can ensure we are focussing on the effects of antibodies specific to ASFV without these actions being masked by additional entry pathways, and through the use of CME and macropinocytosis inhibitors we can distinguish between pathways targeted by these antibodies to identify potential neutralising activity. This will further our understanding of the role ASFV-specific antibodies play in the response to ASFV infection, and may impact current vaccine development strategies. 1.

description: Rapid screening for trace levels of explosives is necessary for security purposes within the aviation industry. Typically, this is carried out using ion-mobility spectrometry, however these instruments are often low resolution which can give out false positive results. Using mass spectrometry can provide specificity through the generation of multiple characteristic ions whilst also providing acceptable levels of sensitivity. When coupled with an ambient ionisation technique results can also be produced rapidly with minimal sample preparation required. Here we investigate the sensitivity for 5 different explosives: HMTD, TNT, RDX, tetryl and PETN using two ambient ionisation techniques, atmospheric solids analysis probe (ASAP) and thermal desorption corona discharge (TDCD). Certified reference standards were diluted in methanol to produce calibration curves (n=5) and a set of infinite dilutions to determine the limit of detection. Thermal desorption experiments were carried out on the Waters Acquity QDa mass spectrometer with fibre glass swabs for sample introduction and ASAP experiments were carried out on the Waters RADIAN mass spectrometer using glass rods for sample introduction. The ion species produced from each explosive have been identified and the ion chemistries elucidated. The linearity and repeatability were in line with what would be expected for an ambient ionisation method for all the explosives analysed. The limits of detection show nanogram sensitivity on both ambient techniques, with picogram sensitivity observed for RDX, TNT and tetryl using ASAP. Both ambient ionisation techniques provide limits of detection that may be suitable for the trace detection of explosives within a security setting. Whilst ASAP appears to be more sensitive as a result of lower background signals (due to the glass rod sample introduction), the fibre glass swabs used with thermal desorption provide a better sampling device in a real-world setting (effectively providing sample pre-concentration by sampling from a wide area).

A book of shadows

Publisher: name: RMIT University

description: This project addresses questions surrounding the nature of death and its representation in murder mysteries, and also questions surrounding the points in a murder mystery where a character and the reader are made aware that there is some piece of information, large or small, that is at present unavailable to them. There is an examination of the relationship between death and mystery in detective novels through, firstly, the writing and re-writing of a murder mystery, ‘To Deserve Such Pain’ (hereafter TDSP), involving imaginative projection into the thoughts of a fictional other, and, secondly, readings in post-structural literary theory and post-phenomenological theories of being that specifically rely on the role of death to explain our being-in-the-world and the meaning it provides (or fails to provide) for us. The project evolved through a continuous negotiation, in which each source of knowledge resonated with and enriched the other. Elements of the novel, TDSP, which are examined are: vast features of the natural landscape; literary referencing and allusion and the connotation of an infinite intertext; suggestions of the historical background of a place; notions of empathy and psychological distance, and descriptions of the qualities of light. The construct of the sublime and Emmanuel Levinas’s notion of the il y a are used in an elucidation of the shadowy nature of death and of existence itself. The idea of the shadow is developed as a guiding image for the writing of the novel, where the aim is to create a sense that there are presences only half seen by the reader and half felt by characters. Implicit in the work is a suggestion for a new approach to the study of detective fiction, one which focusses not on endings, solutions and answers, but on information gaps, questions, and mystery. It also suggests further study focussing on the sublime nature of mystery in fiction.

Doubling down on down-type diquarks

description: Effective field theory-based searches for new physics at colliders are relatively insensitive to interactions involving only right-handed down-type quarks. These interactions can hide amongst jet backgrounds at the LHC, and their indirect effects in electroweak and Higgs processes are small. Identifying scenarios in which these interactions dominate, we can naturally pick out just two tree-level mediators, both scalar diquarks. Over the full parameter space of these states, we analyse exotics searches at current and future hadron colliders, Higgs signal strength constraints, and indirect constraints from flavour physics, finding genuine complementarity between the data sets. In particular, while flavour constraints can exclude diquarks in the hundreds of TeV mass range, these can be evaded once a flavour structure is imposed on the couplings, as we illustrate by embedding the diquarks within a composite Higgs model. In combination, however, we show that flavour and collider constraints exclude down-type diquarks to multi-TeV scales, thus narrowing the remaining hiding places for new interactions amongst LHC data.

title: Fishing Vessel Detection in Exclusive Economic Zones From Low Earth Orbit Satellites With Power and Computational Constraints
Creators: name: Nelson, Kyler E.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2024

description: Illegal fishing activities pose a significant threat to the sustainability of marine ecosystems and the economies and societies which rely on them. Detection of fishing vessels engaging in illegal activity is difficult, as many ships engaging in such activity actively avoid detection through radio systems used for maritime traffic monitoring. Satellite imagery provides a promising means for detecting fishing vessels, though designing an effective system is difficult due to limited availability of labeled image datasets of fishing vessels. This research proposes a system to detect illegal fishing activity through the use of a low-power ship detection satellite and proposes a decision-making process capable of analyzing ship movements and location to determine if a ship is engaging in illegal fishing. To overcome current limitations in available image datasets with labeled fishing vessels, this research proposes a new method for expanding existing image datasets to improve ship detection performance. The proposed illegal fishing detection system is further designed to be capable of weighing various social, economic, and ecological factors involved when determining a response to an incident of illegal fishing.

description: Introduction: There is mixed evidence for an association between cardiometabolic risk factors with dementia incidence. This study aimed to determine whether different latent classes of cardiometabolic risk factors were associated with the risk of dementia in older adults across England, the USA and China. Methods: Data were used from three nationally representative studies, the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (n= 4511), Health and Retirement Study (n=5112) and China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (n=9022). Latent class analyses were across each dataset utilising seven baseline cardiometabolic indicators: obesity, low high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, hyperglycaemia, diabetes, and inflammation. Confounder-adjusted Cox proportional hazards regressions were conducted to examine the association between cardiometabolic latent classes with dementia incidence. Results: Three similar cardiometabolic latent classes were identified across all countries: 1) ‘relatively healthy/healthy obesity’, 2) ‘obesity-hypertension’ and 3) ‘complex cardiometabolic’ class. Across the three samples a total of 1,230 individuals developed dementia over a median of 6.8 to 12.2 years. Among English and American participants those people in the ‘complex cardiometabolic’ group had a higher dementia risk when compared to people in the ‘healthy obesity’ groups (England: AdjHR=1.62: 95%CI [1.11 – 2.37]; USA: AdjHR=1.31: 95%CI [1.02 – 1.68]). However, in Chinese participants the ‘obesity-hypertension’ group had a significantly higher risk of developing dementia when compared to the ‘relatively healthy’ group (AdjHR=1.28: 95%CI [1.04 – 1.57]). Conclusion: This study provides evidence that in Western populations, complex cardiometabolic clusters are associated with a greater risk of dementia, whereas in a Chinese sample, a different cardiometabolic profile seems to be linked to a greater risk of dementia.

Four top final states with NLO accuracy in perturbative QCD: 3 lepton channel

description: We examine the effect of higher-order QCD corrections on the four top-quark production cross section in the $3$ lepton decay channel. Top-quark and $W$ gauge-boson decays are included at next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD. The narrow-width approximation, that preserves spin correlations, is used to perform the calculation for this complex $2 \to 12 \,(13)$ process. We present differential cross-section distributions of top-quark decay products for the LHC Run III energy of $\sqrt{s}=13.6$ TeV, using realistic selection cuts. Our results show that QCD corrections and jet radiation in top-quark and $W$ decays can lead to significant changes in shapes of basic kinematic distributions and, therefore, need to be included for the accurate description of $pp \to t\bar{t}t\bar{t}+X$ process in the $3\ell$ decay channel. The NLO QCD results obtained in this work are important in the context of the recent observation of the $pp\to t\bar{t}t\bar{t}+X$ process by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations and are of great significance for the High-Luminosity phase of the LHC.
