description: Most soundfield synthesis approaches deal with extensive and regular loudspeaker arrays, which are often not suitable for home audio systems, due to physical space constraints. In this article we propose a technique for soundfield synthesis through more easily deployable irregular loudspeaker arrays, i.e. where the spacing between loudspeakers is not constant, based on deep learning. The input are the driving signals obtained through a plane wave decomposition-based technique. While the considered driving signals are able to correctly reproduce the soundfield with a regular array, they show degraded performances when using irregular setups. Through a complex-valued Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) we modify the driving signals in order to compensate the errors in the reproduction of the desired soundfield. Since no ground-truth driving signals are available for the compensated ones, we train the model by calculating the loss between the desired soundfield at a number of control points and the one obtained through the driving signals estimated by the network. Numerical results show better reproduction accuracy with respect to the plane wave decomposition-based technique, pressure-matching approach and to linear optimizers for driving signal compensation.

A scalable non-linear noise model for high-electron-mobility transistors
Creators: name: Sharma, Vishal Kumar
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Noise is the unwanted random fluctuations in a signal, voltage or current. Over a frequency range from a few GHz to tens of GHz, the major noise contributors in the High-Electron-Mobility Transistor (HEMT) were thought to be partially correlated thermal drain-noise and gate-noise currents. However, the thermal origin of the drain-noise current cannot be explained with sub-micrometre HEMT theory. Furthermore, the measurements also reflect that both the noise figure and the optimum signal source admittance cannot be accurately defined using the conventional two noise sources. A simple but novel scalable non-linear noise model is presented in this thesis to predict the response and number of noise current sources in the HEMT in a frequency range from a few GHz to tens of GHz. The model uses probability theory, which is one of the best ways to predict the randomness associated with any quantity, for modelling noise in HEMTs, and describes how three noise sources are essential to completely define the noise performance of the HEMT over that frequency range. A comparison between the simulated and measured noise parameters is also carried out to test the validity of the model.

description: The deliverable D4.2 focuses on creating and managing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the Genomic Data Infrastructure (GDI) network to ensure standardised practices across diverse nodes. Its main objectives include developing a framework for SOP management, creating both European-level and Node-specific SOPs, and establishing a system for SOP request, development, review, approval and authorization.

Key achievements include:

Formation of a task group involving representatives from nine GDI nodes to guide SOP development. Across 2024, these nodes covered both onboarding and deployment stages.

Creation of a flexible SOP framework, supporting both common and node-specific needs.

Establishment of a GitHub-based platform for SOP management, with automated workflows.

Completion of three SOPs, with several others in development.

While progress has been made, some delays occurred due to the absence of key committees required for formal SOP approval. Looking forward, efforts will focus on expanding the SOP library, transitioning to a GDI-managed platform, aligning SOPs with standards and developing a monitoring framework for nodes, including self-assessments.

description: We study the asymptotic behaviour of random integer partitions under a new probability law that we introduce, the Plancherel-Hurwitz measure. This distribution, which has a natural definition in terms of Young tableaux, is a deformation of the classical Plancherel measure which appears naturally in the context of Hurwitz numbers, enumerating certain transposition factorisations in symmetric groups.
 We study a regime in which the number of factors in the underlying factorisations grows linearly with the order of the group, and the corresponding topological objects, Hurwitz maps, are of high genus. We prove that the limiting behaviour exhibits a new, twofold, phenomenon: the first part becomes very large, while the rest of the partition has the standard Vershik-Kerov-Logan-Shepp limit shape. As a consequence, we obtain asymptotic estimates for unconnected Hurwitz numbers with linear Euler characteristic, which we use to study random Hurwitz maps in this regime. This result can also be interpreted as the return probability of the transposition random walk on the symmetric group after linearly many steps.

Long-range Internet of Things: analysis of LoRa performance
Creators: name: Poursafar, Noushin
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The internet of things (IoT) is a concept for a wireless network that allows objects to be sensed or controlled remotely using the internet as a carrier. The IoT is attractive for future wireless systems and it is estimated that the IoT will consist of 75 billion objects by 2025. As the IoT looks to scale up, the cellular industries are likely to use both licensed and unlicensed bands for this purpose. The Low-power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) is one of the IoT technologies, which hires licensed and unlicensed spectrum for data transmission over long distances. Since one of the most important issues in sending and receiving data is to minimise the maintenance and deployment cost, having a knowledge of the system propagation plays a vital role in designing a reliable and cost-effective network. Therefore, the main aim of this project is to assess the propagation performance of long-range IoT technology (LoRa) as unlicensed spectrum in an LPWAN, at the frequency of 915 MHz. To reach this goal, real-world measurements are recorded at different locations of the Macquarie University campus, Sydney, Australia. Using the measurement data, we will introduce path-loss models for Line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) areas which enable operators to estimate the number of LoRa base stations required for covering a specific area.

description: We present a classification of asymptotically flat, supersymmetric black hole and soliton solutions of five-dimensional minimal supergravity that admit a single axial symmetry which `commutes' with the supersymmetry. This includes the first examples of five-dimensional black hole solutions with exactly one axial Killing field that are smooth on and outside the horizon. The solutions have similar properties to the previously studied class with biaxial symmetry, in particular, they have a Gibbons-Hawking base and the harmonic functions must be of multi-centred type with the centres corresponding to the connected components of the horizon or fixed points of the axial symmetry. We find a large moduli space of black hole and soliton spacetimes with non-contractible 2-cycles and the horizon topologies are $S^3$, $S^1\times S^2$ and lens spaces $L(p,1)$.

Distributed soil moisture from crosshole ground-penetrating radar travel times using stochastic inversion

Subjects: subject: Geophysics (physics.geo-ph)

description: Geophysical methods offer several key advantages over conventional subsurface measurement approaches, yet their use for hydrologic interpretation is often problematic. Here, we introduce theory and concepts of a novel Bayesian approach for high-resolution soil moisture estimation using traveltime observations from crosshole Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) experiments. The recently developed Multi-try DiffeRential Evolution Adaptive Metropolis with sampling from past states, MT-DREAM(ZS) is being used to infer, as closely and consistently as possible, the posterior distribution of spatially distributed vadose zone soil moisture and/or porosity under saturated conditions. Two differing and opposing model parameterization schemes are being considered, one involving a classical uniform grid discretization and the other based on a discrete cosine transformation (DCT). We illustrate our approach using two different case studies involving geophysical data from a synthetic water tracer infiltration study and a real-world field study under saturated conditions. Our results demonstrate that the DCT parameterization yields the most accurate estimates of distributed soil moisture for a large range of spatial resolutions, and superior MCMC convergence rates. In addition, DCT is admirably suited to investigate and quantify the effects of model truncation errors on the MT-DREAM(ZS) inversion results. For the field example, lateral anisotropy needs to be enforced to derive reliable soil moisture variability. Our results also demonstrate that the posterior soil moisture uncertainty derived with the proposed Bayesian procedure is significantly larger than its counterpart estimated from classical smoothness-constrained deterministic inversions.

Examining extension: is inspiration motivational in novel contexts?
Creators: name: Klein, Jack
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Inspiration has long been explored in art and literature, often taking on a supernatural or mythic tone. However, despite its widespread appeal, the processes underlying inspiration have eluded rigorous scientific investigation until recently. One such untested process is the concept of novel-context extension, which refers to the motivational effect of inspirational content in an unrelated domain (e.g. after perceiving an artist’s incredible work-ethic a student becomes inspired to persevere with school work). The primary aim of this thesis is hence to determine if an inspirational message concerning one domain (academia or creativity) can improve performance in an unrelated domain (physical endurance). In Experiment 1 participants (N=64) completed an initial baseline handgrip task and personality questionnaires before writing about a time they felt either (a) inspired in a sporting context (inspiration-related), (b) inspired in an academic context (inspiration-unrelated), or (c) happy in a context unrelated to success or achievement (control). Participants then completed manipulation checks and a second handgrip test. Results indicated that only the inspiration-related condition successfully elicited inspiration, and found no significant differences between the conditions on handgrip performance. Experiment 2 (N=70) addressed methodological issues by altering the writing topics for the inspiration-unrelated (a time you felt inspired in a creative context) and control (a time you felt amused) conditions, and revising the handgrip task. Analyses indicated that both inspiration conditions successfully elicited inspiration. Although handgrip performance again did not differ between conditions, participants in the inspiration conditions were significantly less likely to give up at the task. Overall, these findings provide preliminary support for novel-context extension and have implications in a sporting context.

description: A Fermi gas of cold atoms allows precise control over the dimensionless effective range, $k_\mathrm{F} R_\mathrm{eff}$, of the Feshbach resonance. Our pseudopotential formalism allows us to create smooth potentials with effective range, $-2 \leq k_\mathrm{F} R_\mathrm{eff} \leq 2$, which we use for a variational and diffusion Monte Carlo study of the ground state of a unitary Fermi gas. We report values for the universal constants of $ξ= 0.388(1)$ and $ζ= 0.087(1)$, and compute the condensate fraction, momentum distribution, and pair correlations functions. Finally, we show that a gas with $k_\mathrm{F} R_\mathrm{eff} \gtrsim 1.9$ is thermodynamically unstable.

description: Reconstructing the state of quantum many-body systems is of fundamental importance in quantum information tasks, but extremely challenging due to the curse of dimensionality. In this work, we present an efficient quantum tomography protocol that combines the state-factored with eigenvalue mapping to address the rank-deficient issue and incorporates a momentum-accelerated gradient descent algorithm to speed up the optimization process. We implement extensive numerical experiments to demonstrate that our factored gradient descent algorithm efficiently mitigates the rank-deficient problem and admits orders of magnitude better tomography accuracy and faster convergence. We also find that our method can accomplish the full-state tomography of random 11-qubit mixed states within one minute.

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: Light-matter interactions of defects in two dimensional materials are expected to be profoundly impacted by strong coupling to phonons. In this work, we combine ab initio calculations of a defect in hBN, with a fully quantum mechanical and numerically exact description of a cavity-defect system to elucidate this impact. We show that even at weak light-matter coupling, the dynamical evolution of the cavity-defect system has clear signatures of non-markovian phonon effects, and that linear absorption spectra show the emergence of hybridised light-matter-phonon states in regimes of strong light-matter coupling. We emphasise that our methodology is general, and can be applied to a wide variety of material/defect systems.

description: This stated preferences survey determines the willingness to pay (WTP) for climate change mitigation policies using a representative sample of the German population. WTP is compared across three valuation question formats in a split sample design: the dichotomous choice (DC) referendum, the dissonance minimizing (DM) referendum and the two-way payment ladder (TWPL). The influence of multinational cooperation on WTP is assessed by variation in the hypothetical scenarios. We demonstrate that the DM referendum and the TWPL, two question formats that induce similar response incentives, yield equal mean WTPs. Multinational cooperation did not change WTP in any of the question formats. Implications for current contingent valuation practice are discussed.

When $\mathbf{k}$ is the field of complex numbers, Lin, Oguiso, and D.-Q. Zhang provide an explicit formula for the polynomial volume growth of (or equivalently, for the Gelfand--Kirillov dimension of the twisted homogeneous coordinate ring associated with) the pair $(X, f)$, by an analytic argument. We give an algebraic proof of this formula that works in arbitrary characteristic.
 In the course of the proof, we obtain: (1) a new description of the action of endomorphisms on the $\ell$-adic Tate spaces, in comparison with recent results of Zarhin and Poonen--Rybakov; (2) a partial converse to a result of Reichstein, Rogalski, and J.J. Zhang on quasi-unipotency of endomorphisms and their pullback action on the rational Néron--Severi space $\mathsf{N}^1(X)_{\mathbf{Q}}$ of $\mathbf{Q}$-divisors modulo numerical equivalence; (3) the maximum size of Jordan blocks of (the Jordan canonical form of) $f^*|_{\mathsf{N}^1(X)_{\mathbf{Q}}}$ in terms of the action of $f$ on the Tate space $V_\ell(X)$.

description: Applying the maximum-likelihood method of co-integration, this study analysed spatial market integration between an adjacent rice surplus market (India) and deficit markets (Bangladesh and Nepal). The main focus is on the government policies of these three rice-producing countries which have been imposed to reduce domestic price volatilities in rice markets during the recent ‘global food crisis’ in 2007–2008. The co-integration tests find that domestic rice prices of India, Bangladesh and Nepal are integrated both in short-run and long-run periods despite the imposition of export restriction policies by India. The reason that prices are transmitted so effectively is most likely to be the widespread informal cross-border trade through the porous borders among India, Bangladesh and Nepal.

We show that this parton-branching solution can be applied to analyze infrared contributions to evolution, order-by-order in the strong coupling $α_s$, as a function of the soft-gluon resolution scale parameter. We examine the cases of transverse-momentum ordering and angular ordering. We illustrate that this approach can be used to treat distributions which depend both on longitudinal and on transverse momenta.

description: This thesis conducts an empirical case study analysis of Japan's defence diplomacy in the South East Asian nations of Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam during the period from 2006 to 2016. Defence diplomacy is an element of statecraft that uses a nation's military and security institutions in a non-coercive, peaceful manner to enhance military cooperation and to seek military reform with another nation. This thesis traces the evolution of Japan's defence diplomacy in its evolving security environment and identifies its character based on See Seng Tang and Bhubhindar Singh's typology of "pragmatic"or "transformative"defence diplomacy.This thesis contributes important elements in the study of Japan's defence diplomacy strategy and engagement in South East Asia.

description: In this paper, we investigate the quantum transfer for the system with three-level $Λ$-type structure, and construct a shortcut to the adiabatic passage via picture transformation to speed up the evolution. We can design the pulses directly without any additional couplings. Moreover, by choosing suitable control parameters, the Rabi frequencies of pulses can be expressed by the linear superpositions of Gaussian functions, which could be easily realized in experiments. Compared with the previous works using the stimulated Raman adiabatic passage, the quantum transfer can be significantly accelerated with the present scheme.

description: We report on new JVLA observations performed at 3 GHz and 5.5 GHz of Abell 2626. The cluster has been the object of several studies in the recent years due to its peculiar radio emission, which shows a complex system of symmetric radio arcs characterized by a steep spectrum. The origin of these radio sources is still unclear. Due to their mirror symmetry toward the center, it has been proposed that they may be created by pairs of precessing jets powered by the inner AGN. The new JVLA observations were requested with the specific aim of detecting extended emission on frequencies higher than 1.4 GHz, in order to constrain the jet-precession model by analyzing the spectral index and radiative age patterns alongs the arcs. We performed a standard data reduction of the JVLA datasets with the software CASA. By combining the new 3 GHz data with the archival 1.4 GHz VLA dataset we produced a spectral index maps of the extended emission, and then we estimated the radiative age of the arcs by assuming that the plasma was accelerated in moving hot-spots tracing the arcs. Thanks to the high sensitivity of the JVLA, we achieve the detection of the arcs at 3 GHz and extended emission at 5.5 GHz. We measure a mean spectral index

description: Suppression of electron motion under an alternating current (AC) electric field is examined in a one-dimensional Hubbard model. Utilizing three complementary calculation methods, it is found unambiguously that magnitudes of the kinetic-energy suppressions are influenced sensitively by the Coulomb interaction as well as the electron density. The phase and frequency in the AC field do not bring about major effects. The results are interpreted as a combined effect of the Coulomb interaction and the AC field, and provide a guiding principle for the photocontrol of correlated electron motion.

description: While electron kinetic effects are well known to be of fundamental importance in several situations, the electron mean-flow inertia is often neglected when lengthscales below the electron skin depth become irrelevant. This has led to the formulation of different reduced models, where electron inertia terms are discarded while retaining some or all kinetic effects. Upon considering general full-orbit particle trajectories, this paper compares the dispersion relations emerging from such models in the case of the Weibel instability. As a result, the question of how lengthscales below the electron skin depth can be neglected in a kinetic treatment emerges as an unsolved problem, since all current theories suffer from drawbacks of different nature. Alternatively, we discuss fully kinetic theories that remove all these drawbacks by restricting to frequencies well below the plasma frequency of both ions and electrons. By giving up on the lengthscale restrictions appearing in previous works, these models are obtained by assuming quasi-neutrality in the full Maxwell-Vlasov system.

description: Ion cyclotron emission (ICE) is detected during edge localised modes (ELMs) in the KSTAR tokamak at harmonics of the proton cyclotron frequency in the outer plasma edge. The emission typically chirps downward (occasionally upward) during ELM crashes, and is driven by confined 3MeV fusion-born protons that have large drift excursions from the plasma core. We exploit fully kinetic simulations at multiple plasma densities to match the time-evolving features of the chirping ICE. This yields a unique, very high time resolution diagnostic of the collapsing edge pedestal density.

description: Stability is an important characteristic of network models that has implications for other desirable aspects such as controllability. The stability of a Boolean network depends on various factors, such as the topology of its wiring diagram and the type of the functions describing its dynamics. In this paper, we study the stability of linear Boolean networks by computing Derrida curves and quantifying the number of attractors and cycle lengths imposed by their network topologies. Derrida curves are commonly used to measure the stability of Boolean networks and several parameters such as the average in-degree K and the output bias p can indicate if a network is stable, critical, or unstable. For random unbiased Boolean networks there is a critical connectivity value Kc=2 such that if KKc networks operate in the chaotic regime. Here, we show that for linear networks, which are the least canalizing and most unstable, the phase transition from order to chaos already happens at an average in-degree of Kc=1. Consistently, we also show that unstable networks exhibit a large number of attractors with very long limit cycles while stable and critical networks exhibit fewer attractors with shorter limit cycles. Additionally, we present theoretical results to quantify important dynamical properties of linear networks. First, we present a formula for the proportion of attractor states in linear systems. Second, we show that the expected number of fixed points in linear systems is 2, while general Boolean networks possess on average one fixed point. Third, we present a formula to quantify the number of bijective linear Boolean networks and provide a lower bound for the percentage of this type of network.

description: The Web 2.0 paradigm has radically changed the way businesses are run all around the world. Moreover, e-Commerce has overcome in daily shopping activities. For management teams, the assessment, evaluation, and forecasting of online incomes and other business-oriented performance measures have become 'a holy grail', the ultimate question imposing their current and future e-Commerce projects. Within the paper, we describe the development of a Web-based simulation model, suitable for their estimation, taking into account multiple operation profiles and scenarios. Specifically, we put focus on introducing specific classes of e-Customers, as well as the workload characterization of an arbitrary e-Commerce website. On the other hand, we employ and embed the principles of the system thinking approach and the system dynamics into the proposed solution. As a result, a complete simulation model has been developed, available online. The model, which includes numerous adjustable input variables, can be successfully utilized in making 'what-if'-like insights into a plethora of business-oriented performance metrics for an arbitrary e-Commerce website. This project is, also, a great example of the power delivered by InsightMaker, free-of-charge Web-based software, suitable for a collaborative online development of models following the systems thinking paradigm.

description: For the first time, we apply the temperature dependent relativistic mean field (TRMF) model to study the ternary fission of heavy nucleus using level density approach. The probability of yields of a particular fragment is obtained by evaluating the convolution integrals which employ the excitation energy and the level density parameter for a given temperature calculated within the TRMF formalism. To illustrate, we have considered the ternary fissions in 252Cf, 242Pu and 236U with fixed third fragment A3 = 48Ca, 20O and 16O respectively. The relative yields are studied for the temperatures T = 1, 2 and 3 MeV. For the comparison, the relative yields are also calculated from the single particle energies of the finite range droplet model (FRDM). In general, the larger phase space for the ternary fragmentation is observed indicating that such fragmentations are most probable ones. For T = 2 and 3 MeV, the Sn + Ni + Ca is the most probable combination for the nucleus 252Cf. However, for the nuclei 242Pu and 236U, the maximum fragmentation yields at T = 2 MeV differ from those at T = 3 MeV. For T = 3 MeV, the closed shell (Z = 8) light mass fragments with its corresponding partners has larger yield values. But, at T = 2 MeV Si/P/S are favorable fragments with the corresponding partners. It is noticed that the symmetric binary fragmentation along with the fixed third fragment for 242Pu and 236U are also favored at T = 1 MeV. The temperature dependence of the nuclear shape and the single particle energies are also discussed.
