description: This thesis investigates the relationship between theatrical sound designer and theatre audience through a metaphor of archaeology. It examines the complex temporalities of sound and theatre as interventions in the past, present and future of performance itself, through Alain Badiou’s concept of the theatre-idea as movement of thought from eternity to time. The thesis interrogates the practice and philosophy of sound design, finding a shared resonance that emerges from the interaction of designer and audience that is recovered as archaeological trace: all of the orders of information that surround the work of performance.

History

description: The central question of this thesis is can computational technology create poetry? For the most part, questions concerning computers making poetry are interpreted within our contemporary technological and cultural paradigm. As a departure from this present and future-oriented perspective, this thesis argues that computational poetics has ancient origins, and is iterated across diverse cultural and technological paradigms throughout history with a degree of consistency. To develop this line of argumentation, this thesis examines a number of examples of computational poetics throughout a long history, from ancient divination rituals in China and West Africa, to poetic bots on Twitter.

Towards peace in the Korean Peninsula: nuclear deterrence and alternative security approaches
Creators: name: Jae-Kwon Shim

description: Given their catastrophic destructive power, the existence and use of nuclear weapons have found validity primarily in the concept of ‘deterrence’, i.e., the restraint of nuclear war, with political realism as the main philosophical foundation. Far from its basic aim of ‘war-prevention’, however, nuclear deterrence has involved in theory and in practice many risks of ‘war-fighting’, and thus various alternative ideas have been proposed. Since their emergence in 1948, South-North Korean relations have been marked by a series of conflicts and tensions, including a fratricidal hot war. Further, with the U.S. strategy of nuclear deterrence, the Korean peninsula has long been a highly inflammable potential nuclear theatre which could ignite even a third world war among nuclear-armed big powers. Moreover, South Korean attempts to develop nuclear weapons in the 1970s and recent controversies surrounding the North Korean nuclear potential have raised even the possibility of the two Koreas’ own nuclearisation. In order to contribute to removal or significant reduction of the danger of nuclear war in the Korean peninsula and of South-North Korean military tensions and conflicts, this study first examines problems related to the realist security paradigm and nuclear deterrence system. Subsequently, the origins of the division of the Korean peninsula and major factors which have sustained South-North Korean confrontation are examined. And while changes, and the conflict situation, in and around the Korean peninsula after the Cold War are considered, the adequacy and necessity of establishment of nuclear weapon-free zone (NWFZ) and a non-provocative defence (NPD) system are explored as specific alternative security frameworks to increase peace in the peninsula.

description: We apply the Dirac-Bergmann algorithm for the analysis of constraints to gauge theories defined on spherically symmetric black hole backgrounds. We find that the constraints for a given theory are modified on such spacetimes through the presence of additional contributions from the horizon. As a concrete example, we consider the Maxwell field on a black hole background, and determine the role of the horizon contributions on the dynamics of the theory.

Stoking up dreams : some aspects of post-war housing in the suburbs of Melbourne

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: One of the most urgent problems facing the Australian government and its people at the end of World War Two was the acute shortage of good quality housing. It was estimated that there were more than 300,000 families throughout Australia in urgent need of accommodation in 1945; in Victoria the figure was between 70,000 and 80,000 families. By the end of the 1950s the housing shortage had almost been eliminated and the standard of housing, especially for lower income groups, had improved enormously. It is in this period – to use Game and Pringle’s expression – that ‘a house, a spouse and two sprogs’ in the suburbs becomes the widely accepted norm. This thesis focuses on some of the social processes involved in this impressive achievement.

description: With respect to any special boundary defining function, a conformally compact asymptotically hyperbolic metric has an asymptotic expansion near its conformal infinity. If this expansion is even to a certain order and satisfies one extra condition, then it is possible to define its renormalized volume and show that it is independent of choices that preserve this evenness structure. We prove that such expansions are preserved under normalized Ricci flow. We also study the variation of curvature functionals in this setting, and as one application, obtain the variation formula $$ \frac{\rm d}{{\rm d}t} {\rm RenV}\big(M^n, g(t)\big) = -\mathop{\vphantom{T}}^R \! \! \! \int_{M^n} (S(g(t))+n(n-1)) {\rm d}V_{g(t)},$$ where $S(g(t))$ is the scalar curvature for the evolving metric $g(t)$, and $\mathop{\vphantom{T}}^R \! \! \! \int (\cdot) {\rm d}V_g$ is Riesz renormalization. This extends our earlier work to a broader class of metrics.

description: We study the non-asymptotic behavior of Coulomb gases in dimension two and more. Such gases are modeled by an exchangeable Boltzmann-Gibbs measure with a singular two-body interaction. We obtain concentration of measure inequalities for the empirical distribution of such gases around their equilibrium measure, with respect to bounded Lipschitz and Wasserstein distances. This implies macroscopic as well as mesoscopic convergence in such distances. In particular, we improve the concentration inequalities known for the empirical spectral distribution of Ginibre random matrices. Our approach is remarkably simple and bypasses the use of renormalized energy. It crucially relies on new inequalities between probability metrics, including Coulomb transport inequalities which can be of independent interest. Our work is inspired by the one of Ma{ï}da and Maurel-Segala, itself inspired by large deviations techniques. Our approach allows to recover, extend, and simplify previous results by Rougerie and Serfaty.

description: Hypochoeris radicata, an invasive plant species, is a large and growing threat to ecosystem integrity on Jeju Island, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Therefore, research into the utilization of H. radicata is important and urgently required in order to solve this invasive plant problem in Jeju Island. The broader aim of our research is to elucidate the biological activities of H. radicata, which would facilitate the conversion of this invasive species into high value added products. The present study was undertaken to identify the pharmacological effects of H. radicata flower on the production of inflammatory mediators in macrophages. The results indicate that the ethyl acetate fraction of H. radicata extract (HRF-EA) inhibited the production of pro-inflammatory molecules such as NO, iNOS, PGE2, and COX-2, and cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Furthermore, the phosphorylation of MAPKs such as p38, ERK, and JNK was suppressed by HRF-EA in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, through HPLC and UPLC fingerprinting, luteolins were also identified and quantified as extract constituents. On the basis of these results, we suggest that H. radicata may be considered possible anti-inflammatory candidates for pharmaceutical and/or cosmetic applications.

THE LATE QUATERNARY HISTORY OF THE RIVER ERME, SOUTH DEVON
Creators: name: CREAK, SUSAN
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1991

description: This thesis examines a typical 'drowned* river valley of south-west England. The River Erme drains southern Dartmoor and, in common, with other rivers of the region, has a buried channel graded to c. -50m OD. The channel has been infilled with a variety of sediments, of which the top 6-7m have been analysed for this study. Augered cores have been collected from the modern floodplain and salt marsh areas in the lower part of the valley and have been studied using particle size, diatom, molluscan and radiocarbon analyses. The main sediment types recovered include a fine silt unit representing the most recent phase of fluvial deposition, which overlies variable horizons of fluvial granitic sands and gravels and brackish organic sands and silts. These are, in places, replaced at depth by shelly silts, sands and gravels deposited under more estuarine and marine conditions. The organic layer has been radiocarbon dated to between 1000 and 2000 years BP and has been correlated with a former area of marshland recorded in the tithe maps of the region. It is suggested that the Erme valley was previously more estuarine than today and that alluviation and infilling of the Erme's channel in the last 1000-2000 years has been aided by forest clearance and tin mining on Dartmoor. All of the sediments recovered from the buried channel are derived from local sources of bedrock and have probably been deposited in the last 4000-6000 years. Evidence from the tithe maps suggests that the channel has been stable in the past 200 years. This work seeks to contribute to the Quaternary knowledge of the south-west of England, and because of the paucity of data concerning these burled rock channels, makes this study of the River Erme a preliminary model against which other rivers in the South West may be compared.

description: The flavor composition of astrophysical neutrinos observed in neutrino telescopes is a powerful discriminator between different astrophysical neutrino production mechanisms and can also teach us about the particle physics properties of neutrinos. In this paper, we investigate how the possible existence of light sterile neutrinos can affect these flavor ratios. We consider two scenarios: (i) neutrino production in conventional astrophysical sources, followed by partial oscillation into sterile states; (ii) neutrinos from dark matter decay with a primary flavor composition enhanced in tau neutrinos or sterile neutrinos. Throughout the paper, we constrain the sterile neutrino mixing parameters from a full global fit to short and long baseline data. We present our results in the form of flavor triangles and, for scenario (ii), as exclusion limits on the dark matter mass and lifetime, derived from a fit to IceCube high energy starting events and through-going muons. We argue that identifying a possible flux of neutrinos from dark matter decay may require analyzing the flavor composition as a function of neutrino energy.

Faster, higher, stronger? : disability sport, the paralympic games and the politics of disability
Creators: name: Quinn, Brook
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis argues that disabled people experience marginalisation (beyond any disadvantage stemming from physical, mental or sensory impairment) due to material and discursive structures within contemporary capitalist society that define disability as an ‘individual phenomenon’, treatable by medical intervention and strategies of ‘normalisation’ into mainstream economic, social and cultural values and institutions. Drawing on the work of the critical ‘social model of disability’ and broader cultural studies’ concepts (including ‘cultural politics’, ‘identify’ and ‘difference’) the structural nature of ‘disability oppression’ is identified and analysed to place disability alongside gender, sexuality and race ad important sites of political contest. Disability sport, the Paralympic Games and disability’s representation in media culture provide a practical context for these theoretical debates. Against the background of the 2000 Paralympics’ material success and disabled athletes’ increasing public recognition, it is suggested that disability sport thoroughly naturalises dominant perceptions of disability and reproduces the conservative material and discursive structures of the ‘individual model of disability’. Moreover, as an form of ‘cultural projection’ (Merelman, 1995), disability sport affords, at the best, mixed images of disabled people, providing little scope for the articulation of self-affirming disabled identities and an autonomous ‘disability culture’. The significance of this thesis, therefore, lies in its capacity to provide ‘new understandings’ of disability sport and the politics of disability. In particular, it foregrounds the role of interlocking material and discursive cultural politics in naturalising individual perceptions of disability and demonstrates that disability sport and the Paralympic Games, whilst exhibiting some potential to resist these forces, largely reinforce and reproduce these inherently marginalising dynamics.

description: Since ancient times, the area of the atrium was a form of forecourt that served a variety of needs. This paper examines the contribution of the atrium in the functioning of religious buildings. It also studies in which level the religious purposes are being fulfilled through this space, beyond its architectural necessity, with references to the Ancient and the Roman period, the Byzantine period and to a lesser extent the most recent one. Religious buildings from the two largest religions, Christianity and Islam, are chosen to be analyzed. Finally, the aim of this research is to clarify how this structure is associated with the functional and worship purposes of each religion and also how it organizes a religious building as well as the needs it serves, functional, religious, symbolic, bioclimatic.

description: Parasites have been proposed to modulate the fitness of hybridizing hosts in part based on observations in the European house mouse hybrid zone (HMHZ), a tension zone in which hybrids show reduced fitness. We here review evidence (1) for parasite load differences in hybrid versus parental mice and (2) for health and fitness effects of parasites promoting or preventing introgression and hybridization. The question of relative resistance or susceptibility of hybrids to parasites in the HMHZ has long been controversial. Recent field studies found hybrids to be more resistant than mice from parental subspecies against infections with pinworms and protozoans (Eimeria spp.). We argue that the field studies underlying the contradictory impression of hybrid susceptibility have limitations in sample size, statistical analysis and scope, focusing only on macroparasites. We suggest that weighted evidence from field studies indicate hybrid resistance. Health is a fitness component through which resistance can modulate overall fitness. Resistance, however, should not be extrapolated directly to a fitness effect, as the relationship between resistance and health can be modulated by tolerance. In our own recent work, we found that the relationship between health and resistance (tolerance) differs between infections with the related species E. falciformis and E. ferrisi. Health and tolerance need to be assessed directly and the choice of parasite has made this difficult in previous experimental studies of house mice. We discuss how experimental Eimeria spp. infections in hybrid house mice can address resistance, health and tolerance in conjunction.

description: The Field Triage Guidelines (FTG) are used across North America to identify seriously injured patients for transport to appropriate level trauma centers, with a goal of under-triaging no more than 5% and over-triaging between 25% and 35%. Our objective was to systematically review the literature on under-triage and over-triage rates of the FTG. We conducted a systematic review of the FTG performance. Ovid Medline, EMBASE, and the Cochrane databases were searched for studies published between January 2011 and February 2021. Two investigators dual-reviewed eligibility of abstracts and full-text. We included studies evaluating under- or over-triage of patients using the FTG in the prehospital setting. We excluded studies not reporting an outcome of under- or over-triage, studies evaluating other triage tools, or studies of triage not in the prehospital setting. Two investigators independently assessed the risk of bias for each included article. The primary accuracy measures to assess the FTG were under-triage, defined as seriously injured patients transported to non-trauma hospitals (1-sensitivity), and over-triage, defined as non-injured patients transported to trauma hospitals (1-specificity). Due to heterogeneity, results were synthesized qualitatively. We screened 2,418 abstracts, reviewed 315 full-text publications, and identified 17 studies that evaluated the accuracy of the FTG. Among eight studies evaluating the entire FTG (steps 1–4), under-triage rates ranged from 1.6% to 72.0% and were higher for older (≥55 or ≥65 years) adults (20.1–72.0%) and pediatric (<15 years) patients (15.9–34.8%) compared to all ages (1.6–33.8%). Over-triage rates ranged from 9.9% to 87.4% and were higher for all ages (12.2–87.4%) compared to older (≥55 or ≥65 years) adults (9.9–48.2%) and pediatric (<15 years) patients (28.0–33.6%). Under-triage was lower in studies strictly applying the FTG retrospectively (1.6–34.8%) compared to as-practiced (10.5–72.0%), while over-triage was higher retrospectively (64.2–87.4%) compared to as-practiced (9.9–48.2%). Evidence suggests that under-triage, while improved if the FTG is strictly applied, remains above targets, with higher rates of under-triage in both children and older adults.

description: Chemical reactions often proceed through the formation and the consumption of intermediate species. An example is the creation and subsequent degradation of the substrate-enzyme complexes in an enzymatic reaction. In this paper we provide a setting, based on ordinary differential equations, in which the presence of intermediate species has little effect on the overall dynamics of a biological system. The result provides a method to perform model reduction by elimination of intermediate species. We study the problem in a multiscale setting, where the species abundances as well a the reaction rates scale to different orders of magnitudes. The different time and concentration scales are parameterised by a single parameter $N$. We show that a solution to the original reaction system is uniformly approximated on compact time intervals to a solution of a reduced reaction system without intermediates and to a solution of a certain limiting reaction systems, which does not depend on $N$. Known approximation techniques such as the theorems by Tikhonov and Fenichel cannot readily be used in this framework.

description: Cultural and creative sectors, of which the music sector, can be analysed from the perspective of the Global Production Network concept. One of its advantages is the possibility to identify the type of relationships that exist between the different actors in the network. The genre chosen for the analysis was jazz music, a non-mainstream genre, and the subject of the study using the case study method was the Marcin Wasilewski Trio, a jazz group from Poland. The case study analysis through the GPN lens helped us unpack the relations amongst the actors as well as highlight the power dynamics of the industry. It showed that niche music genres operate on a slightly different basis in the market. It is mainly trust and merit that are vital to build capital and succeed within the industry. Here we are dealing with a merit-based governance model, where reputation, trust-based relationships, professionalism, and concern for the art or artistry, for the highest quality of the implemented project, play a leading role.

If this symmetry is gauged, in order to avoid potentially dangerous Goldstone bosons, and small perturbations are added to exactly fit the observed pattern of fermion masses, the spectrum of massive flavor gauge bosons can naturally explain the hints for new physics in $b\to s \ell^+\ell^-$ transitions, including $R_K$. In particular, the desired pattern of the Standard Model Yukawa couplings is compatible with a gauged $\mathrm{U(1)}_q$ in the quark sector, and $\mathrm{U(1)}_{μ-τ}$ in the lepton sector spontaneously broken around the TeV scale. In order to explain the aforementioned experimental hints, the corresponding neutral gauge bosons are required to mix, yielding to potentially observable signals in dimuon resonance searches at the LHC.

An Investigation into the Application of the Hindemith Method to Jazz-Based Composition.
Creators: name: RALPH ANDREW WHITEOAK
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: 190406 Music Composition
subject: FOS: Arts (arts, history of arts, performing arts, music)

description: Ralph Whiteoak’s study presents a folio of jazz oriented compositions inspired by the music of legendary Australian modern jazz and saxophone virtuoso, Frank Smith (1927-74). Smith attributed his phenomenal skill to the study of neo-tonal music theory of the German composer, Paul Hindemith (1895-1963). The main objective of the project was to determine Hindemith’s influences and concepts that enabled Smith to compose and improvise music in a seemingly inimitable way and then systematically learn and adapt these influences to create a folio jazz related compositions.
NO TIME TO STOP: HENRY CABOT LODGE IN VIETNAM

description: The first ambassadorship of Henry Cabot Lodge to South Vietnam, August 1963-Junr 1964, occurred before the pattern of U.S. intervention was set and when options for the nature of American involvement in the region remained open. The decision which would direct the course of U.S.-Vietnam relations for a decade were taken in the weeks after the November coup of 1963, that is, between U.S. recognition of the Minh regime on 7 November 1963 and Generall Nguyen Khanh's attempts in February and march 1964 to consoldate his own power after his coup earlier in the year. The cris of ths period conditions President Lyndon B. Johnson's decision to commit U.S. ground toops to Vietnam in 1965.
President Kennedy's decision to appoint his Republican rival, Lodge, as his ambassador in Saigon was in part a short-term measure to postpone a policy review of America's options in Vietnam until after the 2964 Presidential elections. Lodge became an agent in this delaying process, which continued under Johnson's administration in the critical months of early 1964, primarily because he was a candidate in the GOP Primaries for the presidential nomination.
Lodge and other American plnners did not foresee the decisions taken in the first qwuarter of 2964 would lead to the U.S. bearing the entire financial cost of a long war and international responsibility for the fate os South Vietnam. French offers to mediate between the two governments of Vietnam wre brushed aside while the U.S. faied to sponsor South Vietnamese respresentative institutions and made no diplomatc effort to avert the Khanh coup whch ushered i a period of instability so extreme that by late May, shortly before his departure from Saigon, Lodge advised that th U.S. might at some stage be obliged to 'move into a position of actual control' in South Vietnam. Lodge at this time as disengaged from the conduct of the U.S. Mission in south Vietnam. He conceived his assignment in terms of resolving Kennedy's poor relations with the government of Ngo Dinh Diem; he saw the months after Diem's fall from office as the conclussion to his mission in Saigon and not as the opening up of a new phase in U.S.-Vietnam relations.
During this ambassdorship, Lodge personified the American dilemma of ends and means in Vietnam, first advoction the withdrawal of most Americans from the region and later agreeing that the commitment of U.S. ground troops ewould be necessary. The problem was in the process os U.S. decision-making on Vietnam. This was characterrized throughout the period by continuing to failure to evaluate America's aims in Indochina and the cost for achieving them.
Lodge's personality and modus operandi were a key factor in American government decisions on Vietnam in a critical period when he successfully controlled U.S. media perceptions of events. In the final analysis, Lodge's first ambassadorship exacerbated trends already prsent in Ameriacn activities in Vietnam: he was a figure of immencs authority who embodied an ambiguous policy.

description: Despite the ubiquity of transportation data, methods to infer the state parameters of a network either ignore sensitivity of route decisions, require route enumeration for parameterizing descriptive models of route selection, or require complex bilevel models of route assignment behavior. These limitations prevent modelers from fully exploiting ubiquitous data in monitoring transportation networks. Inverse optimization methods that capture network route choice behavior can address this gap, but they are designed to take observations of the same model to learn the parameters of that model, which is statistically inefficient (e.g. requires estimating population route and link flows). New inverse optimization models and supporting algorithms are proposed to learn the parameters of heterogeneous travelers' route behavior to infer shared network state parameters (e.g. link capacity dual prices). The inferred values are consistent with observations of each agent's optimization behavior. We prove that the method can obtain unique dual prices for a network shared by these agents in polynomial time. Four experiments are conducted. The first one, conducted on a 4-node network, verifies the methodology to obtain heterogeneous link cost parameters even when multinomial or mixed logit models would not be meaningfully estimated. The second is a parameter recovery test on the Nguyen-Dupuis network that shows that unique latent link capacity dual prices can be inferred using the proposed method. The third test on the same network demonstrates how a monitoring system in an online learning environment can be designed using this method. The last test demonstrates this learning on real data obtained from a freeway network in Queens, New York, using only real-time Google Maps queries.

description: We deduce asymptotic formulas for the alternating sums $\sum_{n\le x} (-1)^{n-1} f(n)$ and $\sum_{n\le x} (-1)^{n-1} \frac1{f(n)}$, where $f$ is one of the following classical multiplicative arithmetic functions: Euler's totient function, the Dedekind function, the sum-of-divisors function, the divisor function, the gcd-sum function. We also consider analogs of these functions, which are associated to unitary and exponential divisors, and other special functions. Some of our results improve the error terms obtained by Bordellès and Cloitre. We formulate certain open problems.

From Street Dweller to Family Member: The Dynamic Relationship between People, and Cats and Dogs in Thailand
Creators: name: MEGAN CAIRA MCCARTHY
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Anthropology
subject: FOS: Sociology

description: This thesis is an ethnographic study exploring the complex relationships people have with cats and dogs in Bangkok, Thailand. I examine the cultural and social factors influencing human interactions with these animals. Drawing on data collected from participant observation and in-depth interviews with veterinarians and animal advocacy workers, I capture the context of a city with rising numbers of cats and dogs being considered pets, a significant free-roaming cat and dog population, and a growing awareness of international discourses on animal rights and welfare. I demonstrate that attitudes towards, and our interactions with, animals are context bound and culturally informed.

description: We obtain sharp estimates for a generalized Zalcman coefficient functional with a complex parameter for the Hurwitz class and the Noshiro-Warschawski class of univalent functions as well as for the closed convex hulls of the convex and starlike functions by using an inequality from [6]. In particular, we generalize an inequality proved by Ma for starlike functions and answer a question from his paper [16]. Finally, we prove an asymptotic version of the generalized Zalcman conjecture for univalent functions and discuss various related or equivalent statements which may shed further light on the problem.

This glorious company: the Polynesia Company in Melbourne and Fiji
Creators: name: A.M. Quanchi
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis seeks to reconstruct the activities of the Polynesia Company Limited - a company registered in the Colony of Victoria in December 1868 - whose promoters and shareholders were involved in a brief but notorious attempt to reap quick profits by expanding Victorian commercial enterprise from the streets of Melbourne to the cotton fields of Fiji.

 The formation of companies to develop mineral resources, plantations and trading networks, or ultimately to colonize, is a major theme of the European penetration of the Pacific, and the Polynesia Company has accordingly been indexed in nearly every written account of Fiji. However, passing references, distorted by historical inaccuracy and lacking any serious effort to describe or analyse the Company in its own terms, have meant that it has been known for its involvement in the payment of the Vunivalu Cakobau's American debt and the alienation of some 200,000 acres of Fijian land, rather than for its contribution to the economic and political development of both Fiji and Victoria. Furthermore, the story of the Company illustrates graphically the economic climate of Victoria in the 1860's and even more the adventuresome spirit and the vigorous search for material prosperity which existed in the expanding society spawned by the gold rushes.

 In spite of the image created by the Victorian press, the tendency to embellish the story with grander designs of imperialism and colonization must be resisted, for the Polynesia Company was never intended to be anything more than a profit making enterprise. While the prospectus and advance publicity may have excited susceptible colonial minds, the idea of adding a further jewel to the British Crown was nothing more than a device to attract investors and as a matter of course, settlers to develop the land in Fiji.
