description: We investigate a sample of 14 clusters of galaxies observed with XMM-Newton in a search for soft X-ray excess emission. In five of these clusters a significant soft excess is evident. This soft X-ray excess is compared with the thermal emission from both the hot intracluster gas and any cooling (flow) gas that may be present. A warm (kT=0.2 keV), extended (several Mpc), plasma component is particularly clear in the outer parts of the cluster, where the normal cluster X-ray emission is weak. This warm component causes both a thermal soft X-ray excess at low energies (below 0.4-0.5 keV), as well as O VII line emission with a redshift consistent with a cluster origin, and not easily interpreted as Galactic foreground emission. The intensity of this component is commensurate with what has been measured before with the ROSAT PSPC in the 1/4 keV band. We attribute this component to emission from intercluster filaments of the Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium in the vicinity of these clusters. For the central regions of clusters the detection of lines in the soft X-ray spectrum is more difficult, due to the predominance of the X-ray emitting hot plasma there, hence we cannot discriminate between the thermal and nonthermal origin of the soft excess, leaving several options open. These include thermal emission from warm filaments seen in projection in front of or behind the cluster center, thermal or nonthermal emission in the cluster core itself related to magnetic reconnection, or Inverse Compton emission from the cosmic microwave background on relativistic electrons.

description: In this paper, we consider groups of agents in a network that select actions in order to satisfy a set of constraints that vary arbitrarily over time and minimize a time-varying function of which they have only local observations. The selection of actions, also called a strategy, is causal and decentralized, i.e., the dynamical system that determines the actions of a given agent depends only on the constraints at the current time and on its own actions and those of its neighbors. To determine such a strategy, we propose a decentralized saddle point algorithm and show that the corresponding global fit and regret are bounded by functions of the order of $\sqrt{T}$. Specifically, we define the global fit of a strategy as a vector that integrates over time the global constraint violations as seen by a given node. The fit is a performance loss associated with online operation as opposed to offline clairvoyant operation which can always select an action if one exists, that satisfies the constraints at all times. If this fit grows sublinearly with the time horizon it suggests that the strategy approaches the feasible set of actions. Likewise, we define the regret of a strategy as the difference between its accumulated cost and that of the best fixed action that one could select knowing beforehand the time evolution of the objective function. Numerical examples support the theoretical conclusions.

description: We analyze the observational constraints on the effective Brans-Dicke parameter and on the temporal variation of the effective gravitational constant within the context of the oscillating G model, a cosmological model based on a massive scalar field non-minimally coupled to gravity. We show that these local constraints cannot be satisfied simultaneously once the values of the free parameters entering the model become fixed by the global attributes of our Universe. In particular, we show that the lower observational bound for the effective Brans-Dicke parameter and the upper bound of the variation of the effective gravitational constant lead to a specific value of the oscillation amplitude which lies well below the value required to explain the periodicity of 128 Mpc h^{-1} in the galaxy distribution observed in the pencil beam surveys.

description: Dengue virus (DENV) infection is an important public health problem, being globally the most highly prevalent mosquito-borne viral illness. The World Health Organization (WHO) has estimated 2.5 billion people are at risk of DENV infection and each year 50- 100 million infections are reported, with over 500,000 hospitalisations and 25,000 deaths. DENV consist of four serotypes, each of which are capable of producing a wide spectrum of syndromes varying from mild dengue fever (DF) to more severe dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF). Vascular leakage resulting from increased micro vessel endothelial permeability is one of the life-threatening complications in DHF. The relationship between DENV infection and the endothelium has previously been investigated both in vitro and in vivo experiments. Nevertheless, the mechanisms by which dengue infection leads to increased vascular permeability remain unclear. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of vascular leakage is required to identify better control strategies for DHF/DSS.

description: Swampland conjecture has been recently proposed to connect early time cosmological models with the string landscape, and then to understand if related scalar fields and potentials can come from some fundamental theory in the high energy regime. In this paper, we discuss swampland criteria for $f(R)$ gravity considering models where duality symmetry is present. In this perspective, specific $f(R)$ models can naturally belong to the string landscape. In particular, it is possible to show that duality is a Noether symmetry emerging from dynamics. The selected $f(R)$ models, satisfying the swampland conjecture, are consistent, in principle, with both early and late-time cosmological behaviors.

title: So Hard the Conquering: A Life of Irene Longman

Subjects: subject: Irene Longman
subject: biography
subject: parliamentarians
subject: Queensland
subject: women
subject: social reform

description: This biography of Irene Longman is the story of a remarkable woman. A woman of integrity, intelligence, courage and compassion. It is also the story about the period in which she lived and how her life was inevitably interwoven with the lives of others and with the social structure and culture of the times. What made Irene Longman unique was that she became the first woman to sit in the Queensland Parliament. Irene Longman was elected to the Queensland Parliament in 1929, defeating the sitting Labor member in Bulimba. She was nominated by the Queensland Women’s Electoral League and endorsed by the Country Progressive National Party, but held the seat for only one term as Labor swept back into power in 1932. Longman’s career in the Moore government coincided with a brief interruption of continuous Labor rule in Queensland (1915-1957). No other woman was elected to State Parliament in Queensland until after Irene Longman’s death in 1964 at the age of 87. Though her parliamentary career was short, Irene Longman was active in public life for over thirty years. This thesis brings to light her early childhood in Tasmania, her education and development while living in Sydney and will describe her career and the associational networks which shaped her political ideas. In 1904 at Toowoomba, Irene married Heber Longman and they made Queensland their permanent home. Although this study investigates a particular historical period in Australia, a wider account of Queensland life is incorporated to give a political context to Irene Longman’s experiences in the decades after Federation. Irene Longman was involved in a wide range of social issues including town planning and the preservation of flora and fauna. But her professional and voluntary work was principally in the field of the welfare of women and children. Therefore, this thesis is not only a historical study but it also examines other discourses related to Irene Longman’s experience and interest, such as feminism and women’s reproductive function. I consider how the strength of maternal citizenship influences the way women lived their lives and understood their positions in the world.
SCN5A mutation G615E results in NaV1.5 voltage-gated sodium channels with normal voltage-dependent function yet loss of mechanosensitivity

description: SCN5A is expressed in cardiomyocytes and gastrointestinal (GI) smooth muscle cells (SMCs) as the voltage-gated mechanosensitive sodium channel NaV1.5. The influx of Na+ through NaV1.5 produces a fast depolarization in membrane potential, indispensable for electrical excitability in cardiomyocytes and important for electrical slow waves in GI smooth muscle. As such, abnormal NaV1.5 voltage gating or mechanosensitivity may result in channelopathies. SCN5A mutation G615E – found separately in cases of acquired long-QT syndrome, sudden cardiac death, and irritable bowel syndrome – has a relatively minor effect on NaV1.5 voltage gating. The aim of this study was to test whether G615E impacts mechanosensitivity. Mechanosensitivity of wild-type (WT) or G615E-NaV1.5 in HEK-293 cells was examined by shear stress on voltage- or current-clamped whole cells or pressure on macroscopic patches. Unlike WT, voltage-clamped G615E-NaV1.5 showed a loss in shear- and pressure-sensitivity of peak current yet a normal leftward shift in the voltage-dependence of activation. In current-clamp, shear stress led to a significant increase in firing spike frequency with a decrease in firing threshold for WT but not G615E-NaV1.5. Our results show that the G615E mutation leads to functionally abnormal NaV1.5 channels, which cause disruptions in mechanosensitivity and mechano-electrical feedback and suggest a potential contribution to smooth muscle pathophysiology.

description: Objectives: Theoretically, willingness-to-pay (WTP) for quality-adjusted life years (QALY) can vary depending on social and personal preferences and on ex-ante and ex-post settings. However, empirical investigations into the theoretical differences are lacking. In Japan, setting the threshold has been controversial since a pilot project to implement health technology assessments (HTA) launched in 2016. The study aim is to estimate WTP values for one additional QALY from different perspectives, health statuses, and contexts to confirm the difficulty in setting a uniform price threshold using WTP. Methods: More than 1,000 respondents representing a cross-section of the Japanese population answered each of nine questionnaire decks in an online panel. WTP values were estimated on three different perspectives (personal, social, and socially inclusive) and on two contexts (ex-ante and ex-post). This study primarily used the non-parametric spike model based on double-bounded dichotomous choice (DBDC) settings to obtain the conditional WTP values. Results: WTP per QALY was higher in the severe health status than in the moderate health status from all perspectives. Respondents from the socially inclusive perspective estimated the highest WTP value for a new drug. Respondents were also asked about life-threatening diseases in ex-post and ex-ante. The WTP value in ex-ante was higher than in ex-post, and demographic factors affecting the WTP were different in both situations. The various WTP values were obtained from these surveys. Limitations: The analysis was based on data collected from an internet panel, which could be biased. There is also a risk that respondents answered the questionnaire differently if asked in everyday situations. Conclusion: Use of a uniform price threshold may not be appropriate in policy settings, because it may not reflect diverse preferences based on different situations, such as disease type and severity. Setting a price threshold as Japan institutes an HTA system requires further research.

description: From the analysis of the CII fine-structure population ratio in the damped Ly_alpha system at z = 3.025 toward the quasar Q0347--3819 we derive an upper bound of 14.6 (+/- 0.2) K on the cosmic microwave background temperature regardless the presence of other different excitation mechanisms. The analysis of the ground state rotational level populations of H_2 detected in the system reveals a Galactic-type UV radiation field ruling out UV pumping as an important excitation mechanism for CII. The low dust content estimated from the Cr/Zn ratio indicates that the IR dust emission can also be neglected. When the collisional excitation is considered, we measure a temperature for the cosmic background radiation of T = 12.1 (+1.7, -3.2) K. The results are in agreement with the T = 10.968 (+/-) 0.004 K predicted by the hot Big Bang cosmology at z = 3.025.

title: Dynamic pre-emption algorithm for emergency vehicle priority in urban traffic networks

Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: dynamic algorithm
subject: traffic light control
subject: emergency vehicle pre-emption

description: Emergency vehicle (EV) services save lives around the world. The necessary fast response of EVs requires minimising travel time. Pre-empting traffic signals can enable EVs to reach the desired location more quickly. Most of the current research tries to decrease EV delays but neglects the resulting negative impacts of the Pre-emption on other vehicles on side roads. This research proposes a dynamic Pre-emption algorithm to control the traffic signal by adjusting some traffic signal cycles to balance the two critical goals: minimal delay for EVs with no stops, and a minimal additional delay to the vehicles on side roads. The proposed algorithm has been examined by applying it to a simulated single intersection and corridor of five successive intersections. The examination of the proposed algorithm includes investigating the impact of applying the algorithm on the emergency vehicle measurements (travel time, delay, number of stops, and the average speed). It also includes measuring the additional delay to the vehicles in other approaches of each intersection and for vehicles navigating towards neighbouring intersections to investigate the impact of applying the algorithm on adjacent intersections.

description: We give theoretical predictions for the radio emission of a dark matter candidate annihilating into 2-lepton and 4-lepton final states. We then compare our results with the known radio measurements of the sky temperature as a function of the frequency. In particular, we calculate the radio emission for some dark matter candidates annihilating into intermediate bosons that subsequently decay into a 4-lepton channel with a thermal annihilation cross-section. We show that within the range of frequencies from $20\,{\rm MHz}$ to $5\,{\rm GHz}$, this channel can produce a stronger signature than direct annihilation into leptons.

description: We confirm the detection of the relativistically broadened iron K-alpha emission at 6.4 keV with simultaneous Chandra HETGS and RXTE PCA observations. Heavily binned HETGS data show a disk line profile with parameters very similar to those previously seen by ASCA. We observe a resolved narrow component with a velocity width ~4700 km/s (FWHM ~ 11,000 km/s), that is most prominent, and narrower (FWHM ~ 3600 km/s) when the continuum flux is high. It plausibly is just the blue wing of the broad line. We obtain a stringent limit on the equivalent width of an intrinsically narrow line in the source of 16 eV, indicating little or no contribution due to fluoresence from distant material such as the molecular torus. Variability studies of the narrow component show a constant iron line flux and variable width indicating the line may be originating from different kinematic regions of the disk.

description: Utility is an important concept in economics. A variety of applications consider utility in real-life situations, which has lead to the emergence of utility-oriented mining (also called utility mining) in the recent decade. Utility mining has attracted a great amount of attention, but most of the existing studies have been developed to deal with itemset-based data. Time-ordered sequence data is more commonly seen in real-world situations, which is different from itemset-based data. Since they are time-consuming and require large amount of memory usage, current utility mining algorithms still have limitations when dealing with sequence data. In addition, the mining efficiency of utility mining on sequence data still needs to be improved, especially for long sequences or when there is a low minimum utility threshold. In this paper, we propose an efficient Projection-based Utility Mining (ProUM) approach to discover high-utility sequential patterns from sequence data. The utility-array structure is designed to store the necessary information of the sequence-order and utility. ProUM can significantly improve the mining efficiency by utilizing the projection technique in generating utility-array, and it effectively reduces the memory consumption. Furthermore, a new upper bound named sequence extension utility is proposed and several pruning strategies are further applied to improve the efficiency of ProUM. By taking utility theory into account, the derived high-utility sequential patterns have more insightful and interesting information than other kinds of patterns. Experimental results showed that the proposed ProUM algorithm significantly outperformed the state-of-the-art algorithms in terms of execution time, memory usage, and scalability.

description: Τα τελευταία χρόνια οδηγούμαστε με ταχύτατους ρυθμούς προς ένα πιο έξυπνο σύστημα διαχείρισης της ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας. Η ενσωμάτωση όλο και περισσότερων μονάδων παραγωγής από ανανεώσιμες πηγές ενέργειας είναι ένας βασικός παράγοντας που παίζει καθοριστικό ρόλο σε αυτό. Έχει επομένως, ιδιαίτερο ενδιαφέρον να εξετάσουμε τον τρόπο αλληλεπίδρασης αυτών των μονάδων, το κατά πόσο είναι αξιόπιστες και σε τι βαθμό, όπως επίσης και την επίδραση που θα έχουν στον τρόπο ζωής της κοινωνίας που θα τις χρησιμοποιούν.
Η τάση που αρχίζει να δημιουργείται γύρω από την ανάπτυξη έξυπνων δικτύων και  ειδικότερα των λεγόμενων μικροδικτύων, αποτελεί επίσης αντικείμενο μελέτης. Η μορφή, ο τρόπος λειτουργίας τους, η ασφάλεια αλλά και η ευστάθειά τους είναι μόνο μερικά από τα χαρακτηριστικά που θα πρέπει να λάβουμε υπόψιν μας για την βέλτιστη λειτουργία τους.
Η δυναμική μελέτη ενός συστήματος μικροδικτύου παρουσιάζει πολλές από τις προαναφερθείσες πτυχές αυτών των προβλημάτων, και αποτελεί επί της ουσίας μια κοινή τομή μεταξύ των μονάδων παραγωγής του μέλλοντος και της ενσωμάτωσής τους σε ένα αυτοματοποιημένο σύστημα διαχείρισής τους.
description: Lately we are moving as a society into a smarter and more reliable electricity management system. It is very interesting to observe, analyse and be prepared for this new era of electricity distribution, that comes as a result from the increased integration of renewable energy sources.
The new trend that promises to help in this advanced problems caused by this integration, is described by the microgrid development and therefore, their analysis is fundemental. Their form, the way they work and their overal safety including their stability over disturbances, are some of the characteristics that need to be taken into account for their optimal operation.
The current thesis describes a microgrid dynamic analysis with Simulink- Matlab. In other words, it contains the problems that are mentioned above and it tries to descibe a system like this in a way that will be easily understood by everyone.
The overall system is based on a simple microgrid which contains photovoltaic arrays integrated with a storage system based on Lithium Batteries, a  permanent magnet technology in wind power generator and a diesel based synchronous generator. The results are shown, with the whole system working in order to cover the requested energy consumption.

description: In the ideal quantum Zeno effect, repeated quantum projective measurements can freeze the coherent dynamics of a quantum system. However, in the weak quantum Zeno regime, measurement back-actions can allow the sensing of semi-classical field fluctuations. In this regard, we theoretically show how to combine the controlled manipulation of a quantum two-level system, used as a probe, with a sequence of projective measurements to have direct access to the noise correlation function. We experimentally test the effectiveness of the proposed noise sensing method on a properly engineered Bose-Einstein condensate of $^{87}Rb$ atoms realized on an atom chip. We believe that our quantum Zeno-based approach can open a new path towards novel quantum sensing devices.

title: Teachers’ perceived understanding of formative assessment and how it impacts their classroom practice: A case-study investigation

Subjects: subject: Formative assessment
subject: Formative Assessment Practices

description: This study examined Junior Secondary teachers’ perceived understanding of formative assessment and how it influenced teachers’ pedagogical choices and practices in the classroom. The study adopted a qualitative approach to research using interpretive phenomenological and analytical approaches to provide in-depth insight into the ways in which Junior Secondary teachers perceive, understand and apply formative assessment in their classrooms and how these practices impact student engagement with learning. Three key questions steered the research; 1) What are Junior Secondary teachers’ perceived understandings of formative assessment? 2) What are Junior Secondary teachers’ classroom practices of formative assessment? 3) How do Junior Secondary teachers’ perceptions of formative assessment influence their practices in the classroom in relation to positive student learning outcomes? Data were collected from three Junior Secondary teachers from one school through semi-structured individual interviews, focus group discussions and classroom observations. The data were analysed using Smith, Jarman & Osborn (1999) Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) framework and Wiliam and Thompson’s (1998) formative assessment model. Five themes were identified in this study; first, the study found that Junior Secondary teachers’ understanding of formative assessment is evolving and consequently their formative assessment practices were also developing. Second, teachers need to effectively embed formative assessment practices in their lessons to ensure the success of all students. Third, varying student levels meant that there is critical need to differentiate learning to meet individual students’ learning needs. Fourth, there is a need to develop common and shared expectations between systemic, school and classroom approaches to formative assessment and evaluation of students’ learning. Finally, time was an underlying theme that hindered the effective and consistent implementation of formative assessment practices.

description: We show, through Monte Carlo simulations, that the Alcock-Paczynski test, as applied to quasar clustering, is a powerful tool to probe the cosmological density and equation of state parameters, Omega_{m0}, Omega_{x0} and w. By taking into account the effect of peculiar velocities upon the correlation function we obtain, for the Two-Degree Field QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ), the predicted confidence contours for the cosmological constant (w = -1) and spatially flat (Omega_{m0} + Omega_{x0}=1) cases. It turns out that, for w = -1, the test is especially sensitive to the difference Omega_{m0} - Omega_{Lambda 0}, thus being ideal to combine with CMB results. We also find out that, for the flat case, it is competitive with future supernova and galaxy number count tests, besides being complementary to them.

Search for a light charged Higgs boson decaying to a W boson and a CP-odd Higgs boson in final states with e$μμ$ or $μμμ$ in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV

description: A search for a light charged Higgs boson (H$^+$) decaying to a W boson and a CP-odd Higgs boson (A) in final states with e$μμ$ or $μμμ$ is performed using data from pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV, recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. In this search, it is assumed that the H$^+$ boson is produced in decays of top quarks, and the A boson decays to two oppositely charged muons. The presence of signals for H$^+$ boson masses between 100 and 160 GeV and A boson masses between 15 and 75 GeV is investigated. No evidence for the production of the H$^+$ boson is found. Upper limits at 95% confidence level are obtained on the combined branching fraction for the decay chain t $\to$ bH$^+$ $\to$ bW$^+$A $\to$ bW$^+μ^+μ^-$, of 1.9 $\times$ 10$^{-6}$ to 8.6 $\times$ 10$^{-6}$, depending on the masses of the H$^+$ and A bosons. These are the first limits for these decay modes of the H$^+$ and A bosons.

description: We propose a statistical procedure to determine if a spatial structure observed in the data is generated by a deterministic (even chaotic) spatial process rather than by a stochastic process. This procedure can be used as a specification test. It is robust against non-linearity and non-stationarity and can complete the toolbox for testing the diagnosis as well. The advantages of the presented methods are high power, simplicity, and ease and ample applicability for tests to be conducted, provided that weak conditions are required. Herein, we conduct several simulations to evaluate the performance of our procedure on well-known spatial processes and in situations where standard tests for spatial autocorrelation fail to detect spatial dependence. Guidelines for using the technique are also provided.

On the White Dwarf distances to Galactic Globular Clusters

description: We analyze in detail various possible sources of systematic errors on the distances of globular clusters derived by fitting a local template DA white dwarf sequence to the cluster counterpart (the so-called WD-fitting technique). We find that the unknown thickness of the hydrogen layer of white dwarfs in clusters plays a non negligible role. For reasonable assumptions - supported by the few sparse available observational constraints - about the unknown mass and thickness of the hydrogen layer for the cluster white dwarfs, a realistic estimate of the systematic error on the distance is within +-0.10 mag. However, particular combinations of white dwarf masses and envelope thicknesses - which at present cannot be excluded a priori - could produce larger errors. Contamination of the cluster DA sequence by non-DA white dwarfs introduces a very small systematic error of about -0.03 mag in the Mv/(V-I) plane, but in the Mv/(B-V) plane the systematic error amounts to ~ +0.20 mag. Contamination by white dwarfs with helium cores should not influence appreciably the WD-fitting distances. Finally, we obtain a derivative D((m-M)v)/D(E(B-V))~ -5.5 for the WD-fitting distances, which is very similar to the dependence found when using the Main Sequence fitting technique.

title: Cyber Attacks and International Law on the Use of Force: an Informational Approach

subject: Article 2(4) of the United Nations Charter

description: This thesis examines the intersection of law and technology in the context of cyber attacks and international law on the use of force. It is argued that the law embodies an ontologically constrained view of violence which limits its capacity to regulate cyber attacks. As a means of overcoming these constraints, this thesis draws on Luciano Floridi’s information ethics to develop an informational approach. This involves depicting the state as an information entity and reconceptualising violence through the concept of entropy. Therefore, by updating the law with an informational ontology, it is argued that the law is better equipped to recognising the novel forms of informational violence that are capable of harming states. As such, this thesis explores the conceptual challenges brought about by technological change for international law on the use of force. As a central provision of international law, Article 2(4) of the United Nations Charter prohibits states from using force in their international relations. The law arose within a particular technological context and was originally intended to limit the outbreak of violent warfare between states. It is argued however, that the law is premised on an anthropocentric and materialist view of what constitutes violence and the state as an entity. It subscribes to a worldview in which the state is a territorial entity and violence that is deemed to threaten the state requires some form of destruction or damage to physical objects or injury or death to human beings.

description: Introduction: We reviewed studies that assessed the treatment of psychiatric disturbances in Parkinson’s disease and atypical parkinsonisms. Neuropsychiatric disturbances in these conditions are frequent and have a profound impact on quality of life of patients and of their caregivers. It is therefore important to be familiar with the appropriate pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for treating these disorders. Areas covered: The authors searched for papers in English in Pubmed using the following keywords: Parkinson’s disease, multiple system atrophy, progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration, Lewy body dementia, depression, apathy, anxiety, fatigue, sleep disorders, obsessive compulsive disorders, psychosis, hallucinations, delusions, impulse control disorders. Expert opinion: In Parkinson’s disease, depression may benefit from the optimization of dopaminergic therapy, from the use of antidepressants acting on both the serotoninergic and noradrenergic pathways and from cognitive behavioral therapy. Psychosis in Parkinson’s disease may improve with the use of clozapine; the serotonin inverse agonist pimavanserin has been shown to be effective. Treatment of impulse control disorders is primarily based on the removal of dopamine agonists. No controlled studies have investigated the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders in multiple system atrophy, progressive supranuclear palsy or corticobasal degeneration. Acethylcholinesterase inhibitors may be used to treat hallucinations in Lewy body dementia.
