description: We present new results for the three-point correlation function, ζ, measured as a function of scale, luminosity and colour from the final version of the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS). The reduced three-point correlation function, Q3∼ ζ/ξ2, is estimated for different triangle shapes and sizes, employing a full covariance analysis. The form of Q3 is consistent with the expectations for the Λ cold dark matter model, confirming that the primary influence shaping the distribution of galaxies is gravitational instability acting on Gaussian primordial fluctuations. However, we find a clear offset in amplitude between Q3 for galaxies and the predictions for the dark matter. We are able to rule out the scenario in which galaxies are unbiased tracers of the mass at the 9σ level. On weakly non-linear scales, we can interpret our results in terms of galaxy bias parameters. We find a linear bias term that is consistent with unity, b1 = 0.93-0.08+0.10 and a quadratic bias c2 = b2/b1 = -0.34-0.08+0.11. This is the first significant detection of a non-zero quadratic bias, indicating a small but important non-gravitational contribution to the three-point function. Our estimate of the linear bias from the three-point function is independent of the normalization of underlying density fluctuations, so we can combine this with the measurement of the power spectrum of 2dFGRS galaxies to constrain the amplitude of matter fluctuations. We find that the rms linear theory variance in spheres of radius 8 h-1 Mpc is σ8 = 0.88-0.10+0.12, providing an independent confirmation of values derived from other techniques. On non-linear scales, where ξ > 1, we find that Q3 has a strong dependence on scale, colour and luminosity.

Subjects: Environmental Science

description: ABSTRACTCo modified fly ash (FA) prepared by wet impregnation method were investigated for gas-phase elemental mercury capture under air at 80 °C in this paper. X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), scanning electron micrographs (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric (TG) analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were employed to characterize the samples. Experimental results showed that the optimal Co loading was 9 wt%, which performed Hg0 removal efficiency of 76% in a laboratory packed-bed reactor at low temperature in the presence of O2. The high removal efficiency was mainly attributed to oxidation of Hg0 by the enrichment of well-dispersed Co3O4 on the surface of FA. However, higher Co loading resulted in the decrease of removal efficiency due to the decline of surface area and Co3O4 agglomeration. TG and XPS characterization indicated that Hg0 was oxidized by Co3O4 and some of the oxidized mercury formed recombination mercury oxide with Co3O4, which could either be existed stably at low temperature or be desorbed from the adsorbents at higher temperature. Finally, the possible adsorption mechanisms were proposed according to the observed phenomena.

description: The effects of two seed sludge types, namely conventional activated sludge (CAS) and membrane bioreactor sludge (MBS), on aerobic granulation were investigated. The treatment performances of the reactors were monitored during and after the granulation. Operational period of 37 days was described in three phases; Phase-1 corresponds to the Days 1–10, Phase-2 (overloading conditions) to the Days 11–27 and Phase-3 (recovery) to the Days 28–37. Aerobic granules of 0.56±0.23 mm to 2.48±1.28 mm were successfully developed from both MBS and CAS. First granules appeared on Day 9 in both reactors, indicating that there was no difference between two seed sludge types in terms of the time period for granulation initiation. The results revealed that the granules developed from MBS performed better than CAS in terms of settleability, stability, biomass retention, adaptation, protection of granular structure at high loading rates (0.86 g N/L.d and 3.92 g COD/L.d) and low COD/TAN ratio (5). Granules of MBS were also found to be capable of providing better protection for nitrifiers at toxic free-ammonia concentrations (38–46 mg/L NH3–N), thus showing better treatment recovery than those of CAS.

Unfettered flights of thought: Between madness and creativity
Creators: name: Hecq, Dominique
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper is in two parts. The first examines the relationship between creativity and madness as it manifests itself in the work of Freud and Lacan and culminates in Lacan’s theorising of the operation of suppléance, a proxy device that prevents subjective dissolution and provides a key to understanding the hidden order of artmaking. The second problematises suppléance by testing it against Ehrenzweig’s theory of creativity. The aim of the paper is to identify schemata that link madness and creativity using a psychoanalytic frame in order to question theory in ways that may be helpful for artists, and more specifically creative writers. It does so by focusing on Lacan’s conceptualisation of the real as ambiguous and ‘extimate’, two ideas also present in the work of Freud and Ehrenzweig. The ambiguity and ambivalence at stake here are retrieved from the unconscious as the ‘equivocation’ between the real and the imaginary (Lacan 2005a: 102; emphasis added). This equivocation is precisely what must be negotiated, I suggest, when madness beckons and a threat to the ego looms, unless some creative solution is found which enables the knotting of the real, the imaginary and the symbolic. As an art, writing may be that which knots together the ex-sistence of the real, the consistence of the imaginary and the hole introduced by the symbolic, while also showing how these can each be transformed according to the way in which suppléance works at each level.
The role of social media during Queensland floods: An empirical investigation on the existence of Multiple Communities of Practice (MCoPs)

description: The notion of communities getting together during a disaster to help each other is common. However, how does this communal activity happen within the online world? Here we examine this issue using the Communities of Practice (CoP) approach. We extend CoP to multiple CoP (MCoPs) and examine the role of social media applications in disaster management, extending work done by Ahmed (2011). Secondary data in the form of newspaper reports during 2010 to 2011 were analysed to understand how social media, particularly Facebook and Twitter, facilitated the process of communication among various communities during the Queensland floods in 2010. The results of media-content analysis along with the findings of relevant literature were used to extend our existing understanding on various communities of practice involved in disaster management, their communication tasks and the role of Twitter and Facebook as common conducive platforms of communication during disaster management alongside traditional communication channels.
Can online learning win over Chinese students? A case study of Swinburne University of Technology

subject: Specialist studies in education

description: This paper has emerged from an ongoing research project investigating the policy, behavioural and curricular issues associated with the online educational experience of Chinese university students studying onshore in Australia. Two key perceptions have surfaced. First, that these students are uncomfortable with learning in online mode, despite their familiarity with computers and information technology. Second, that their command of English is a factor, with debate over whether they would feel more comfortable engaging in learning activities in a class-based face-to-face context than in online mode. Arguably, while important, these concerns are symptoms of a broader problem, which may have to do with cultural and behavioural considerations both in Australia and the home country. This paper seeks to identify these underlying causes and propose potential solutions to the problems of online education. The findings confirm that, although Chinese student enrolments remain stable, there is indeed an undercurrent of discontent with online delivery among onshore Chinese students. There is also evidence that the success rate of students in face-to-face classes is well in excess of that for online classes. However, there is more to this than simply the inappropriateness of online teaching and learning for Chinese students. Our research suggests that a more considered and consultative approach, that takes more care over deeper cultural concerns, and addresses issues around the social as well as the educational environment, is likely to dispel most concerns about online education and how to prepare Chinese students study online. This could also provide potential solutions for Australian educators seeking to improve the educational experience of onshore Chinese students.

description: The study analyses responses from senior government officials from 12 APEC economies that provide extensive descriptions of SME policies that had been in place prior to the GFC and that also detail how programs may have been expanded, and describes new programs that may have been added, specifically to deal with the GFC. This analysis is combined with a parallel OECD assessment to arrive at a comprehensive taxonomy of initiatives. In order to assess the extent to which the governments’ measures address the challenges faced by SMEs, the taxonomy of initiatives is tabulated against a rank-ordered listing of the issues identified by SMEs. This allows identification of gaps that existing and new government schemes have yet to deal with.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: We present wide field-of-view near-infrared imaging from the NTT and very deep optical imaging from the HST of the young merging galaxy NGC 3597. The morphology of the galaxy and the properties of the newly formed protoglobular clusters (PGCs) are examined. Our K-band data reveal the presence of a second nucleus, which provides further evidence that NGC 3597 is the result of a recent merger. Combining new K-band photometry with optical photometry, we are able for the first time to derive a unique age for the newly formed PGCs of a few Myr. This is consistent with the galaxy starburst age of less than or equal to 10 Myr. From deep HST imaging, we are able to probe the luminosity function similar to 8 magnitudes fainter than normal, old globular clusters, and confirm that the PGCs have a power-law distribution with a slope of similar to-2.

description: In the United States, air pollution is primarily measured by Air Quality Monitoring Networks (AQMN). These AQMNs have multiple objectives, including characterizing pollution patterns, protecting the public health, and determining compliance with air quality standards. In 2006, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued a directive that air pollution agencies assess the performance of their AQMNs. Although various methods to design and assess AQMNs exist, here we demonstrate a geographic information system (GIS)-based approach that combines environmental, economic, and social indicators through the assessment of the ozone (O3) and particulate matter (PM10) networks in Maricopa County, Arizona. The assessment was conducted in three phases: (1) to evaluate the performance of the existing networks, (2) to identify areas that would benefit from the addition of new monitoring stations, and (3) to recommend changes to the AQMN. A comprehensive set of indicators was created for evaluating differing aspects of the AQMNs’ objectives, and weights were applied to emphasize important indicators. Indicators were also classified according to their sustainable development goal. Our results showed that O3 was well represented in the county with some redundancy in terms of the urban monitors. The addition of weights to the indicators only had a minimal effect on the results. For O3, urban monitors had greater social scores, while rural monitors had greater environmental scores. The results did not suggest a need for adding more O3 monitoring sites. For PM10, clustered urban monitors were redundant, and weights also had a minimal effect on the results. The clustered urban monitors had overall low scores; sites near point sources had high environmental scores. Several areas were identified as needing additional PM10 monitors. This study demonstrates the usefulness of a multi-indicator approach to assess AQMNs. Network managers and planners may use this method to assess the performance of air quality monitoring networks in urban regions.Implications:The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued a directive in 2006 that air pollution agencies assess the performance of their AQMNs; as a result, we developed a GIS-based, multi-objective assessment approach that integrates environmental, economic, and social indicators, and demonstrates its use through assessing the O3 and PM10 monitoring networks in the Phoenix metropolitan area. We exhibit a method of assessing network performance and identifying areas that would benefit from new monitoring stations; also, we demonstrate the effect of adding weights to the indicators. Our study shows that using a multi-indicator approach gave detailed assessment results for the Phoenix AQMN.

description: This article proposes historical precedents for policies which support journalism enterprises that serve populations 'on the move' using communications networks and technologies. A contemporary case study is used to support an economic argument that there is a rationale for continued governmental intervention in journalism in the sphere of the international and domestic movement of passengers, cargo and discrete groups of linked individuals. It concludes that this sphere represents a valuable productivity opportunity for Australia which the Federal Government should exploit.

description: This research developed a simulation-aided nonlinear programming model (SNPM). This model incorporated the consideration of pollutant dispersion modeling, and the management of coal blending and the related human health risks within a general modeling framework. In SNPM, the simulation effort (i.e., California puff [CALPUFF]) was used to forecast the fate of air pollutants for quantifying the health risk under various conditions, while the optimization studies were to identify the optimal coal blending strategies from a number of alternatives. To solve the model, a surrogate-based indirect search approach was proposed, where the support vector regression (SVR) was used to create a set of easy-to-use and rapid-response surrogates for identifying the function relationships between coal-blending operating conditions and health risks. Through replacing the CALPUFF and the corresponding hazard quotient equation with the surrogates, the computation efficiency could be improved. The developed SNPM was applied to minimize the human health risk associated with air pollutants discharged from Gaojing and Shijingshan power plants in the west of Beijing. Solution results indicated that it could be used for reducing the health risk of the public in the vicinity of the two power plants, identifying desired coal blending strategies for decision makers, and considering a proper balance between coal purchase cost and human health risk. Implications:A simulation-aided nonlinear programming model (SNPM) is developed. It integrates the advantages of CALPUFF and nonlinear programming model. To solve the model, a surrogate-based indirect search approach based on the combination of support vector regression and genetic algorithm is proposed. SNPM is applied to reduce the health risk caused by air pollutants discharged from Gaojing and Shijingshan power plants in the west of Beijing. Solution results indicate that it is useful for generating coal blending schemes, reducing the health risk of the public, reflecting the trade-off between coal purchase cost and health risk.

description: In this work populations of Agrobacterium vitis were monitored within one year. Starting in the middle of May, the population density of A. vitis was screened every week in all parts of two-year-old Müller-Thurgau and Riesling grapevines which were freed from A. vitis by thermotherapy and inoculated with A. vitis NW90. Every week, 5 plants of the two varieties were examined for A. vitis in new shoots, around the inoculation site, in one- and two-year-old parts of the stem, in the rootstock and in the roots. Beyond the inoculation site the A. vitis population density was too low for statistical evaluation of population dynamics. At the inoculation site a seasonal course of the A. vitis population was found in both grapevine varieties. The A. vitis population density was highest at the end of May, but little later it dropped to a low level during the sommer months. A second maximum of population density was determined in October which reached nearly the same value as in spring. Population density of A. vitis correlated to physiological changes of the grapevine plant during the vegetation period. Though the population dynamics of A. vitis followed parallel courses in both grapevine varieties, differences in the population density and in the onset of the autumn increase were determined. This could be attributed to physiological differences of the two varieties. The migration of pathogenic bacteria from the inoculation site to the roots took at least 15 weeks.

description: The effect of sulphur dioxide and acetaldehyde on the interaction between malvidin 3-glucoside, the main anthocyanin in red wine made from Vitis vinifera grapes, and (+)-catechin was examined. In all model wines the molar losses of malvidin 3-glucoside were significantly greater than the losses of catechin. The concentration of malvidin 3-glucoside decreased fastest in the presence of acetaldehyde while the most rapid loss of catechin occurred in the model containing malvidin 3-glucoside and catechin only. In the presence of sulphur dioxide, these losses still occurred, but much more slowly, indicating that condensation reactions may take place even in the presence of sulphur dioxide. Polymerisation was most prominent in the model containing malvidin 3-glucoside, catechin and acetaldehyde. Concurrent with the losses in anthocyanin and catechin, qualitative and quantitative changes in visible colour were also observed. Changes in colour monitored by measuring hue angle and chroma are also reported.

Diverse everyday information practices in Australian households

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Qualitative research into the everyday information-seeking practices of eight diverse households in the city of Melbourne, Australia permitted insights into the variability in dynamics around information practices. The current study combines an information practice approach to information-seeking with finer detail on use of the Internet. Rather than treat the Internet as a monolithic entity, this study looks separately at the use of more recent Internet technologies such as social media and Wikipedia. The study examines the type of information that people seek, the ways in which they stay informed and their engagement with a range of information resources. In particular, the study illustrates the enormous disparity in the level of information resources available to participants. It also illustrates the extent to which use of the search engine, Google, has become naturalised within the everyday information practices of some Internet users in Australia. This study indicates that public libraries still have particular importance for more disadvantaged members of the population.

description: The qualitative and quantitative effect of pH on the formation of new coloured compounds from the interaction between malvidin 3-glucoside, (+) catechin and acetaldehyde was studied. Five different solutions were prepared at pH 2, 3, 3.7, 4 and 5, and the concentration of the reactants and newly formed compounds was monitored by HPLC. In all mixtures there was a decrease in the concentration of malvidin 3-glucoside and catechin, coupled with the formation of two principal new compounds thought to be dimers (labelled A and B), linked at different positions, and several minor compounds. The rate of loss of the reactants and the longevity and concentrations of A and B varied according to pH, with the greatest amounts and most rapid formation of these compounds occurring at pH 2. The catechin concentration still decreased when there was no malvidin 3-glucoside remaining. This observation indicated that further polymerisation reactions were occurring, involving catechin molecules only, or catechin and coloured polymers.

description: Where lucrative media rights deals for sports content currently lie primarily with pay TV and free to air (FTA) broadcasters, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) entering the content delivery market through partners such as Fetch TV may be better placed to compete for distribution rights to sporting and other live events. In response to this shifting environment this paper outlines the technological capacities of NBN-based multicast Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), and examines public comment and interview data from ISPs, sports organisations and NBN Co. regarding their intentions for IPTV delivery. This paper begins with the assumption that diversity in these emerging media forms remains important as ISPs enter the media content market. We demonstrate, however, that despite the emergence of NBN-based technologies, diversity in sports content distribution cannot be assumed. The paper points toward the important role that regulators, such as the ACCC, have in maintaining diversity and competition in IPTV services.

description: Periquita, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca grapes were fermented under standard conditions with 3 levels of SO2 concentration. The anthocyanin monomers were separated by HPCL and identified by DAS on the grape skin extracts. Periquita was the wine with the highest color density and the higher content in total anthocyanins. Malvidin 3-glucoside, peonidin 3-glucoside and petunidin 3-glucoside were found in largest amounts in Periquita wines, while delphinidin 3-gucoside and malvidin 3-glucoside-p-coumarate were present in higher concentrations in Tinta Barroca wines. Malvidin 3-glucoside acetate and peonidin 3-glucoside coumarate were found in the highest concentration in Tinta Roriz wines. The influence of SO2 on the extraction of total anthocyanins and the major part of monomeric anthocyanins was very evident, but the rate of the extraction depends also on the nature of the anthocyanins and the characteristics of each variety. The high concentration of SO2 slowed down the formation of polymeric pigments.

description: In Midnight in Sicily (1996), Australian author Peter Robb presents clues and facts concerning over a decade of the intricate plots of the Sicilian mafia from 1978 to 1992, drawing on literature to support his analysis of their impact on Italian politics and society. This paper discusses the influence of Leonardo Sciascia's detective stories on Robb's Midnight in Sicily. Sciascia's The Day of the Owl (1961), The Context (1971) and Todo Modo (1974) are often quoted by Robb to comment the facts narrated in his book.

description: This research developed a simulation-aided nonlinear programming model (SNPM). This model incorporated the consideration of pollutant dispersion modeling, and the management of coal blending and the related human health risks within a general modeling framework. In SNPM, the simulation effort (i.e., California puff [CALPUFF]) was used to forecast the fate of air pollutants for quantifying the health risk under various conditions, while the optimization studies were to identify the optimal coal blending strategies from a number of alternatives. To solve the model, a surrogate-based indirect search approach was proposed, where the support vector regression (SVR) was used to create a set of easy-to-use and rapid-response surrogates for identifying the function relationships between coal-blending operating conditions and health risks. Through replacing the CALPUFF and the corresponding hazard quotient equation with the surrogates, the computation efficiency could be improved. The developed SNPM was applied to minimize the human health risk associated with air pollutants discharged from Gaojing and Shijingshan power plants in the west of Beijing. Solution results indicated that it could be used for reducing the health risk of the public in the vicinity of the two power plants, identifying desired coal blending strategies for decision makers, and considering a proper balance between coal purchase cost and human health risk. Implications:A simulation-aided nonlinear programming model (SNPM) is developed. It integrates the advantages of CALPUFF and nonlinear programming model. To solve the model, a surrogate-based indirect search approach based on the combination of support vector regression and genetic algorithm is proposed. SNPM is applied to reduce the health risk caused by air pollutants discharged from Gaojing and Shijingshan power plants in the west of Beijing. Solution results indicate that it is useful for generating coal blending schemes, reducing the health risk of the public, reflecting the trade-off between coal purchase cost and health risk.

Lambda/26 silver nanodots fabricated by direct laser writing through highly sensitive two-photon photoreduction

description: We demonstrated an approach to break the diffraction limit and realise deep-subwavelength two-photon direct laser writing by employing a highly sensitive photoreduction process. The photoreduction photosensitivity increased by at least 4 times while the wavelength of the fabrication laser beam was tuned from 800 nm to 580 nm. The increase of the photosensitivity resulted in improved resolution for the silver dot fabrication. By developing the photoreduction material with adding electron donors, the photosensitivity further increased and enabled the realisation of a single silver dot at 22 nm which is λ/26 for the wavelength of the fabrication laser beam.

description: Cryotolerant Saccharomyces cerevisiae p.r. uvarum and bayanus strains (fermentation temperature range 6-30°C, Topt< 30°C) differ from ordinary non-cryotolerant strains for their ability to synthesize rather than decompose malic acid, higher glycerol and succinic acid production, lower acetic acid production and lower ethanol yield. Thanks to these traits, the fermentative action of cryotolerant strains modifies wine composition to a much more considerable extent than ordinary non-cryotolerant Saccharomyces strains.

description: Schizophrenia is a debilitating and pervasive mental illness with devastating effects on many aspects of psychological, cognitive and social wellbeing. Epidemiological and life-cycle data point to significant differences in the incidence and course of schizophrenia between men and women, suggesting that estrogen plays a 'protective' role . Adjunctive estrogen therapy has been shown to be effective in enhancing the treatment of schizophrenia in women. In men, consideration of estrogen therapy has been impacted by concerns of feminisation, however, clinical trials using estrogen to treat prostate cancer, bone density loss and even aggression in men with dementia or traumatic brain injury, show estrogen to be a safe and effective therapy. Findings do, however, suggest that further exploration of a therapeutic role for adjunctive estradiol treatment in men with schizophrenia is warranted. The development of the new estrogen compounds - Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs) which do not cause feminisation - opens up the possibility of using a different type of estrogen for a longer period of time at higher doses. Estrogen could therefore prove to be an important component in the treatment of psychotic symptoms in men with schizophrenia. This review explains the scientific rationale behind the estrogen hypothesis and how it can be clinically utilised to address concerns unique to the care of men with schizophrenia.

description: The group of galaxies RXJ1340.6+4018 has approximately the same bolometric X-ray luminosity as other bright galaxy groups and poor clusters such as the Virgo cluster. However, 70 per cent of the optical luminosity of the group comes from a dominant giant elliptical galaxy, compared with 5 per cent from M87 in Virgo.The second brightest galaxy in RXJ1340.6+4018 is a factor of 10 fainter (Δm12=2.5 mag) than the dominant elliptical, and the galaxy luminosity function has a gap at about L*. We interpret the properties of the system as a result of galaxy merging within a galaxy group. We find that the central galaxy lies on the Fundamental Plane of ellipticals, has an undisturbed, non-cD morphology, and has no spectral features indicative of recent star formation, suggesting that the last major merger occurred ≳4 Gyr ago. The deviation of the system from the cluster LX−T relation in the opposite sense to most groups may be caused by an early epoch of formation of the group or a strong cooling flow. The unusual elongation of the X-ray isophotes and the similarity between the X-ray and optical ellipticities at large radii (∼230 kpc) suggest that both the X-ray gas and the outermost stars of the dominant galaxy are responding to an elongated dark matter distribution. RXJ1340.6+4018 may be part of a filamentary structure related to infall in the outskirts of the cluster A1774.
