description: The ability to carry electric current with zero dissipation is the hallmark of superconductivity. It is this very property which is used in applications from MRI machines to LHC magnets. But, is it indeed the case that superconducting order is incompatible with dissipation? One notable exception, known as vortex flow, takes place in high magnetic fields. Here we report observation of dissipative superconductivity in far more basic configurations: superconducting nanowires with superconducting leads. We provide evidence that in such systems, normal current may flow in the presence of superconducting order throughout the wire. The phenomenon is attributed to the formation of a non-equilibrium state, where superconductivity coexists with dissipation, mediated by the so-called Andreev quasiparticles. Besides promise for applications such as single-photon detectors, the effect is a vivid example of a controllable non-equilibrium state of a quantum liquid. Thus our findings provide an accessible generic platform to investigate conceptual problems of out-of-equilibrium quantum systems.

America’s Barbarian Heart
Creators: name: Pignagnoli, Virginia
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 2017

description: The article explores the narrative space, the combined use of various genre tropes, and the social criticism in Dave Eggers’s Heroes of the Frontier (2016). In particular, the essay argues that Eggers mixes travel writing, realist fiction and postmagical realism to turn the characters’ journey into an allegory for contemporary Americans, eliciting the readers’ mimetic responses towards a (renewed) frontier. Eggers’s narratorial commentary, which emerges also as a result of the use of an omniscient narrator, is presented through the dichotomy home/away-from-home typical of travel writing. This opposition is then reflected in the symbolic organization of the narrative space. Finally, the presence of actual geographical names invites the readers to approach the places described in the novel with a “tourist mind.”

Across the Equator
Creators: name: Dumas, Frédéric
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 2017

description: In 1895, Mark Twain embarked on a worldwide lecture tour. The professional commitment combined with the writer’s urge to write a new travelogue (Following the Equator), featuring an American tourist persona keen on (re)discovering the planet for the sake of leisure and of writing the account of his “pleasure excursion” (28). This article focuses on Twain’s account of his crossing the equator at the beginning of the book, for it reveals at once the complexity of the touring experience: the passengers’ indulgent motivation leads to a regressive attitude, as the confrontation with the uncanniness of the liminal equator plunges them into a chaos whose baffling meaning is left to the attentive reader’s meditation. The last part establishes that Twain’s comfortable crossing of the equator reveals him to be simultaneously a foolish explorer and an accidental traveler of his psyche.

description: We report the existence of confined electronic states at the (110) and (111) surfaces of SrTiO3. Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we find that the corresponding Fermi surfaces, subband masses, and orbital ordering are different from the ones at the (001) surface of SrTiO3. This occurs because the crystallographic symmetries of the surface and sub-surface planes, and the electron effective masses along the confinement direction, influence the symmetry of the electronic structure and the orbital ordering of the t2g manifold. Remarkably, our analysis of the data also reveals that the carrier concentration and thickness are similar for all three surface orientations, despite their different polarities. The orientational tuning of the microscopic properties of two-dimensional electron states at the surface of SrTiO3 echoes the tailoring of macroscopic (e.g. transport) properties reported recently in LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (110) and (111) interfaces, and is promising for searching new types of 2D electronic states in correlated-electron oxides.

Off-script Cultural Diplomacy: Japan’s Official Cultural Institutes in the Spanish-Speaking World
Creators: name: FRANCO, DANIEL FERNANDO VELOZA
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2022
Subjects: International relations

description: In this thesis, I explored Japan’s cultural diplomacy in Spanish-speaking countries. I argued that cultural diplomacy has focused on the central actors working in Japan: their expectations, their goals, how local actors implement central actors’ plans, and criticisms of these. This thesis has uncovered another whole side to CD – the importance of local actors’ agency. Through observation of over 160 online CD activities and over 70 interviewees with local actors working in Spanish-speaking countries and audience members, I investigated local actors’ agency and documented how and why CD does not always go according to central actors’ plans.

description: We extend the notion of lattice polarization for K3 surfaces to families over a (not necessarily simply connected) base, in a way that gives control over the action of monodromy on the algebraic cycles, and discuss the uses of this new theory in the study of families of K3 surfaces admitting fibrewise symplectic automorphisms. We then give an application of these ideas to the study of Calabi-Yau threefolds admitting fibrations by lattice polarized K3 surfaces.

description: The central thesis of the study is that important elements of entrepreneurial control and decisionmaking are being shifted from farm firms to off-farm businesses and government agencies. A major purpose of this report may be served if the reader becomes aware of what is happening to entrepreneurship and gains an appreciation of the impact of current trends on the future well-being of farm people. Analysis of the limited amount of research on this subject supports the thesis. Three empirical studies of entrepreneurial behavior done elsewhere suggest that about half of select elements of entrepreneurship have been shifted to off-farm firms. Projection of trends and predictions based on observation and reasoning indicate that such shifts in entrepreneurship may accelerate in the future. Examples of elements of entrepreneurship discussed are: Transfer of decisionmaking under production contracts, division of ownership and management under farm leases, mutual sharing of control in farmer cooperatives, assumption of all entrepreneurship by investor corporations, expanding guidance and supervision under farm credit, and shifts in control and decisionmaking under government programs.

description: The limited availability and functionality of personal assistive robots in the consumer market is a significant problem that affects aging populations who may require assistance with day-to-day tasks. This lack of accessibility exacerbates feelings of loneliness and dependence, making it more difficult for individuals to maintain their independence and quality of life. To address these issues, the team aims to develop a more versatile and accessible robot that can perform a range of tasks and provide support, entertainment, and connectivity to loved ones. By creating a robot that is adaptable and capable of performing multiple functions, the team hopes to provide a greater sense of independence for individuals who may feel limited by their physical capabilities. In addition, the robot aims to address social loneliness by providing a companion and source of support for individuals who may feel isolated or alone. Ultimately, the project seeks to contribute to the field of personal assistive robots by creating a more versatile and accessible option for individuals who require assistance with day-to-day tasks. The team's product vision is to create a world where older adults can lead active, healthy, and socially connected lives without the fear of isolation and loneliness, by introducing the Well-Walk - a smart walker that empowers users to stay connected and engaged with their loved ones, while also monitoring useful health information.

description: Energy landscapes provide a valuable means for studying the folding dynamics of short RNA molecules in detail by modeling all possible structures and their transitions. Higher abstraction levels based on a macro-state decomposition of the landscape enable the study of larger systems, however they are still restricted by huge memory requirements of exact approaches. We present a highly parallelizable local enumeration scheme that enables the computation of exact macro-state transition models with highly reduced memory requirements. The approach is evaluated on RNA secondary structure landscapes using a gradient basin definition for macro-states. Furthermore, we demonstrate the need for exact transition models by comparing two barrier-based appoaches and perform a detailed investigation of gradient basins in RNA energy landscapes.

description: Recent research has provided formulae for estimating the maximum likelihood (ML) RMSEA when mean or mean and variance, corrections for non-normality are applied to the likelihood ratio test statistic. We investigate by simulation which choice of corrections provides most accurate point RMSEA estimates, confidence intervals, and p-values for a test of close fit under normality, and in the presence of non-normality. We found that, overall, any robust corrections (choices MLM, MLMV, and MLR) provide better results than ML, which assumes normality. When they err, all choices tend to suggest that the model fits more poorly than it really does. Choice MLMV (mean and variance corrections) provided the most accurate RMSEA estimates and p-values for tests of close fit results but its performance decreases as the number of variables being modeled increases.

description: Large magnetic anisotropy and coercivity are key properties of functional magnetic materials and are generally associated with rare earth elements. Here we show an extreme, uniaxial magnetic anisotropy and the emergence of magnetic hysteresis in Li2(Li1-xFex)N. An extrapolated, magnetic anisotropy field of 220 Tesla and a coercivity field of over 11 Tesla at 2 Kelvin outperform all known hard-ferromagnets and single-molecule magnets (SMMs). Steps in the hysteresis loops and relaxation phenomena in striking similarity to SMMs are particularly pronounced for x << 1 and indicate the presence of nano-scale magnetic centres. Quantum tunnelling, in form of temperature-independent relaxation and coercivity, deviation from Arrhenius behaviour and blocking of the relaxation, dominates the magnetic properties up to 10 Kelvin. The simple crystal structure, the availability of large single crystals, and the ability to vary the Fe concentration make Li2(Li1-xFex)N (i) an ideal model system to study macroscopic quantum effects at elevated temperatures and (ii) a basis for novel functional magnetic materials.

description: Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessels (COPVs), made of a titanium liner and carbon fibre wrapping, are known to pose a certain risk for ground im pact as they are able to withstand the harsh reentry environment. Within an ESA project led by Cenaero, we designed and manufactured miniaturized COPVs in two configurations for high-enthalpy plasma tests in the VKI Plasmatron, presented in this paper. The acquired experimental data included surface (pyrometer) and internal temperatures (type-K thermocouples), optical emission spectroscopy, high-quality photographs and movies. We were interested in the demise behaviour of the samples. During long-duration (5 minutes) high-enthalpy tests, exceeding the actual reentry heat load, we achieved demise of the underlying titanium liner (bum-through). Main parts of the COPY s remained intact, such as the side-and backwalls.

LUNAR LANDERS

description: Lunar exploration is poised for a renaissance. The Artemis program intends to create a permanent human presence on the moon. There has been much research and development interest in launchers, crew vehicles and habitats for lunar outposts. These lunar outposts will necessitate regular two-way cargo deliveries between the Earth and the Moon. Since space transport costs are so high compared to terrestrial shipping costs, it is interesting to investigate cost-effective and suitable ways of delivering cargo to a human lunar outpost. This paper uses a systems engineering approach to identify, evaluate and size a set of five possible mission architectures for unmanned cargo delivery from Earth to the lunar surface. The first three mission architectures are fully reusable, single-stage, two-stage, and three-stage. The fourth uses a reusable electric space tug, and the fifth is a non-reusable Apollo-style architecture. The five mission architectures are sized using statistically derived sizing rules from a database of 42 lunar landers and transfer vehicles compiled from an extensive literature review. Two sizing exercises were carried out for each architecture: (i) a maximalist case to understand the upper bound to the payload delivery mass, (ii) and a two tons payload delivery case comparable to the mass of ISS cargo deliveries. A trade-off is then performed based on seven figures of merit: Landed Payload [kg/trip] Returned Payload [kg/trip], Cost of Landed Payload [$/kg], Cost of Returned Payload [$/kg], Delivery Time [days], System Complexity and Extensibility. The most cost-effective and suitable mission architecture is chosen, and a lander design which can carry two tons of cargo down to the lunar surface and back up again is sized from statistical and parametric sizing rules. This small lander is then costed using TruePlanning software. It is found that the main cost drivers for lunar cargo delivery are fuel carriage and launcher costs. These costs could be reduced by orbital fuel depots in LEO and at the Lunar Gateway, or by ride-sharing on very large launchers.

description: We study the relationship between the K-band and the sub-millimetre (submm) emissions of nearby galaxies by computing the bivariate K-band-submm luminosity function (BLF) of the Herschel Reference Survey (HRS), a volume-limited sample observed in submm with Hersche/SPIRE. We derive the BLF from the K-band and submm cumulative distributions using a copula method. Using the BLF allows us to derive the relationship between the luminosities on more solid statistical ground. The analysis shows that over the whole HRS sample, no statistically meaningful conclusion can be derived for any relationship between the K-band and the submm luminosity. However, a very tight relationship between these luminosities is highlighted, by restricting our analysis to late-type galaxies. The luminosity function of late-type galaxies computed in the K-band and in the submm are dependent and the dependence is caused by the link, between the stellar mass and the cold dust mass, which has been already observed

CATHODES

description: Hollow cathodes are widely utilised for plasma generation in electric thrusters. However, despite years of extensive development, cathode design and operation, especially the heater less configuration remains an engineering challenge. This work presents a method of reaching a stable discharge mode and mitigation of operational instabilities. The analysis is presented through the comparative studies between cathodes of the two most commonly used emitters: open-end tantalum and embedded lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6), operating with argon propellant. Arcing during the discharge is overcome using a current limiting circuit. The analysis concentrates on the transient regime between 0.2-1.4 A discharge and 0.5 -6 mg/s propellant flow rate and identifies the minimum discharge power needed for reaching the thermionic emission. The electrical characterisation is used to guide thermal design analysis. The thermal model shows good agreement with measurements and proves to be a useful tool for predicting overall emission and temperature distributions in the cathode assembly. It is suspected that although the temperature of both emitters stays below 1400 K, it takes the LaB6 emitter considerably longer (200s) to reach the same state as the tantalum. Additionally, the LaB6 design is less prone to operational wear down, which became a problem after !O\'s of hours of operation using the open-ended tantalum cathode.

description: HD dominates the cooling of primordial clouds with enhanced ionization, e.g. shock-heated clouds in structure formation or supernova remnants, relic HII regions of Pop III stars, and clouds with cosmic-ray (CR) irradiation. There, the temperature decreases to several 10 K and the characteristic stellar mass decreases to $\sim 10\ {\rm M}_{\odot}$, in contrast with first stars formed from undisturbed pristine clouds ($\sim 100\ {\rm M}_{\odot}$). However, without CR irradiation, even weak far ultra-violet (FUV) irradiation suppresses HD formation/cooling. Here, we examine conditions for HD cooling in primordial clouds including both FUV and CR feedback. At the beginning of collapse, the shock-compressed gas cools with its density increasing, while the relic HII region gas cools at a constant density. Moreover, shocks tend to occur in denser environments than HII regions. Owing to the higher column density and the more effective shielding, the critical FUV intensity for HD cooling in a shock-compressed gas becomes $\sim 10$ times higher than in relic HII regions. Consequently, in the shock-compressed gas, the critical FUV intensity exceeds the background level for most of the redshift we consider ($6 \lesssim z \lesssim 15$), while in relic HII regions, HD cooling becomes effective after the CR intensity increases enough at $z \lesssim 10$. Our result suggests that less massive ($\sim 10\ {\rm M}_{\odot}$) Pop III stars may be more common than previously considered and could be the dominant population of Pop III stars.

description: Each year, 15 million people suffer from a heart attack, resulting in one of the leading causes of death worldwide. A heart attack occurs when the coronary artery that supplies blood to the heart is blocked, leading to excessive inflammation which is mediated by the immune system. In this project, an anti-inflammatory immune cell type, Tregs, were delivered as a therapy after a heart attack in mice. This therapy resolved inflammation, improved survival of heart tissue and overall heart contraction, function and repair. This presents an exciting new avenue for novel immune based therapies for the treatment of heart attacks.

description: Genomic datasets generated with massively parallel sequencing methods have the potential to propel systematics in new and exciting directions, but selecting appropriate markers and methods is not straightforward. We applied two approaches with particular promise for systematics, restriction site associated DNA sequencing (RAD-Seq) and sequence capture (Seq-cap) of ultraconserved elements (UCEs), to the same set of samples from a non-model, Neotropical bird. We found that both RAD-Seq and Seq-cap produced genomic datasets containing thousands of loci and SNPs and that the inferred population assignments and species trees were concordant between datasets. However, model-based estimates of demographic parameters differed between datasets, particularly when we estimated the parameters using a method based on allele frequency spectra. The differences we observed may result from differences in assembly, alignment, and filtering of sequence data between methods, and our findings suggest that caution is warranted when using allele frequencies to estimate parameters from low-coverage sequencing data. We further explored the differences between methods using simulated Seq-cap- and RAD-Seq-like datasets. Analyses of simulated data suggest that increasing the number of loci from 500 to 5000 increased phylogenetic concordance factors and the accuracy and precision of demographic parameter estimates, but increasing the number of loci past 5000 resulted in minimal gains. Increasing locus length from 64 bp to 500 bp improved phylogenetic concordance factors and minimal gains were observed with loci longer than 500 bp, but locus length did not influence the accuracy and precision of demographic parameter estimates. We discuss our results relative to the diversity of data collection methods available, and we provide advice for harnessing next-generation sequencing for systematics research.

Year: 2022
Subjects: Forensic psychology

description: Childhood exposure to external cause parental death, including suicide, can influence suicidal behaviours in adulthood although this relationship involves a complex range of risk factors at the individual, interpersonal and environmental levels. Risk factors for suicide among individuals exposed to parental death from external causes (other than suicide) requires further exploration. Methodologically, the study was novel in that it was the first analysis of the Victorian Suicide Register for the purpose of understanding exposure to external cause deaths. More qualitative research is needed in addition to larger datasets which will allow for more powerful statistical analyses.

description: This paper aims to establish a simplified, user-friendly framework for a Digital Twin (DI) of a PC21 jet trainer aircraft. The implementation of the DI is carried out in :MATLAB with the aid of embedded Neural Network tools. The aircraft is trained and tested with flight data provided by Qinetiq!ETPS, as well as simulation data obtained via UDP connection from X-Plane, via Simulink. The paper investigates the potential of DI s for enhancing the design, testing, and certification process of a trainer aircraft, with the goal of minimising human error, costs, effort, and environmental impact. The testing of the DI framework with manoeuvres from real flight data shows the feasibility of using a Neural Network to simulate the behaviour of a trainer aircraft. Despite the limitations faced during the execution of the project, the predictions of the network, for a similar manoeuvre as the one it was trained with, show promising results This proves that the DI framework, with further development and careful adjusting, can be utilised as a simple tool for simulating the flight dynamics of an aircraft.

 Tanzania has initiated different social protection programs that aim for the reduction of poverty and promotion of equality and human rights, which lead to improving the living standard of the citizen. The paper focused on explaining the different programs implemented by the government of Tanzania to enhance the improvement of social protection and quality of life and initiate strategies to reduce poverty in society. The paper focused on the three main pillars of social protection in Tanzania Social insurance, social security, social assistance, and active labour market. The government of Tanzania initiates different social protection development policies in the country. The Tanzanian case serves as an example of how outside organizations affect social development protection methods in developing nations, even if they are the insurance owners. Domestic institutions can create, carry out, and record policies. Their ability to succeed primarily relies on the assistance they receive from other organizations. Supporting evidence-based publications and marketing initiatives, funding pilot projects, and promoting of social justice can be significantly influenced by outside parties—designs for protection policies. Without substantial institutional ownership and support, Innovative partners and suggested ideas have a lower likelihood of receiving enough political backing.
Challenging What We “Know” about Disability: Phamaly Theatre and the DisAbility Project
Creators: name: Dorwart, Jason B.
Publisher: name: Current Objectives of Postgraduate American Studies
Year: 2018
Subjects: Disability; Theater; Phamaly; DisAbility Project; Brecht; Boal; alienation, theater of the oppressed

description: Phamaly and the DisAbility Project are theater companies comprising disabled performers with different missions and purposes. Phamaly produces standard Broadway fare (or previously-existing material) with an all disabled cast. The DisAbility Project writes and produces new material based upon the experience of its actors, creating and touring original material in order to educate others about the culture of disability. Phamaly and the DisAbility Project take different approaches to performance and inclusion. Phamaly conforms to a Brechtian model of performance, while the DisAbility Project enacts Augusto Boal's theories of the theater of the oppressed. Both companies enact audience alienation to compel reconsideration of the capabilities of the disabled body.

description: This study investigates the influence of three-dimensional and two-phase contributions to the performance of aft-finocyl solid rocket motors. Single-phase and multiphase numerical simulations are conducted to analyze the motor flow characteristics exploiting an Eulerian-Eulerian CFO model. The single-phase simulations reveal the presence of circumferential flow and vortices in the nozzle, indicating deviations from an axisymmetrical behavior. However, the impact on motor performance is found to be negligible. Multiphase simulations show the formation of particle-rich regions and relevant azimuthal gradients. This phenomenology provides a reduction of the specific impulse as much as the inflow presents an inhomogeneous distribution of the condensed phase. These findings emphasize the influence of combined 3D and multiphase effects on SRM performance, highlighting the necessity of addressing this topic during the motor design.

description: We demonstrate a novel scheme for femto-second pulsed spontaneous parametric down-conversion in periodically poled KTP crystals. Our scheme is based on a crossed crystal configuration with collinear quasi-phase-matching. The non-degenerate photon pairs are split in a fiber-based wavelength division multiplexer. The source is easier to align than common pulsed sources based on bulk BBO crystals and exhibits high-quality polarization entanglement as well as non-classical interference capabilities. Hence, we expect this source to be a well-suited candidate for multi-photon state generation e.g. for linear optical quantum computation and quantum communication networks.

description: We provide a well-defined variational principle for 3-dimensional flat space Einstein gravity by adding one half of the Gibbons-Hawking-York boundary term to the bulk action. We check the 0-point function, recovering consistency with thermodynamics of flat space cosmologies. We then apply our result to calculate the 1-point functions in flat space Einstein gravity for the vacuum and all flat space cosmologies. The results are compatible with the ones for the zero mode charges obtained by canonical analysis.

Landau Quantization in the Spinning Cosmic String Spacetime

description: We analyze the quantum phenomenon arising from the interaction of a spinless charged particle with a rotating cosmic string, under the action of a static and uniform magnetic field parallel to the string. We calculate the energy levels of the particle in the non-relativistic approach, showing how these energies depend on the parameters involved in the problem. In order to do this, we solve the time independent Schroedinger equation in the geometry of the spinning cosmic string, taking into account that the coupling between the rotation of the spacetime and the angular momentum of the particle is very weak, such that makes sense to apply the Schrödinger equation in a curved background whose metric has an off diagonal term which involves time and space. It is also assumed that the particle orbits sufficiently far from the boundary of the region of closed timelike curves which exist around this topological defect. Finally, we find the Landau levels of the particle in the presence of a spinning cosmic string endowed with internal structure, i.e., having finite width and uniformly filled with both material and vacuum energies.

‘Double Whammy’?! Historical Glimpses of Black Deaf Americans
Creators: name: Werner, Anja
Publisher: name: Current Objectives of Postgraduate American Studies
Year: 2018

description: Discrimination on account of both one’s hearing status and skin color can be disabling—but it can also be enabling, as I will show in this historical overview on Black deaf Americans. I examine Black deaf Americans as a minority group within a minority past and present, their changing relationship with signed language, and their activism especially with regard to desegregating education. I argue that Black deaf persons have significantly contributed to American culture, although their contributions have gone largely unacknowledged.
