description: The reversible jump algorithm is a useful Markov chain Monte Carlo method introduced by Green (1995) that allows switches between subspaces of differing dimensionality, and therefore, model selection. Although this method is now increasingly used in key areas (e.g. biology and finance), it remains a challenge to implement it. In this paper, we focus on a simple sampling context in order to obtain theoretical results that lead to an optimal tuning procedure for the considered reversible jump algorithm, and consequently, to easy implementation. The key result is the weak convergence of the sequence of stochastic processes engendered by the algorithm. It represents the main contribution of this paper as it is, to our knowledge, the first weak convergence result for the reversible jump algorithm. The sampler updating the parameters according to a random walk, this result allows to retrieve the well-known 0.234 rule for finding the optimal scaling. It also leads to an answer to the question: "with what probability should a parameter update be proposed comparatively to a model switch at each iteration?"

description: We conjecture that a countable group $G$ admits a nonsingular Bernoulli action of type III$_1$ if and only if the first $L^2$-cohomology of $G$ is nonzero. We prove this conjecture for all groups that admit at least one element of infinite order. We also give numerous explicit examples of type III$_1$ Bernoulli actions of the group of integers and the free groups, with different degrees of ergodicity.

title: Synthetic approaches to naturally occurring strigolactones and selected analogues
Creators: name: Abel, S-AG
Publisher: name: University of Tasmania
Year: 2020

description: Strigolactones (SLs) are carotenoid-derived plant hormones, that have garnered great interest from the scientific community for their wide range of biological activities promising many agricultural applications. Due to their structural complexity and the importance of stereochemistry to their biological activity, synthetic routes to natural SLs are often lengthy and cumbersome. As a result, investigation into synthetic methodologies that allow access to the natural isomers of SLs is of great importance. This thesis sets out to provide a review of current existing methodologies for the synthesis of natural SLs as well as develop novel synthetic routes to SLs. In the first chapter this thesis will discuss the current existing methodologies for the synthesis of the natural SLs strigol and orobanchol, as well as a synthetic analogue GR24. In the second chapter this thesis will discuss an enantioselective approach to the natural SL strigol by employing a Noyori asymmetric transfer hydrogenation to install a chiral centre. Strigol 1a was produced through existing and novel chemistry both racemically and asymmetrically. The application of a variety of novel methods to access the intermediate 65 were met with mixed success. Overall, strigol was prepared racemically in eleven steps (3% yield) and was synthesized enantioselectively in twelve steps (0.34% yield). In the third chapter this thesis will discuss a similar methodology for obtaining the natural SL orobanchol. This synthesis constitutes the first asymmetric preparation of orobanchol since its structural revision in 2011. Racemic orobanchol 2a was obtained in a 0.67% yield over 4 steps from the ABC system 65. Enantiopure orobanchol (–)-2a was obtained in a 0.12% yield over ten steps from the ABC intermediate 65. The latter constitutes the first asymmetric synthesis of orobanchol since its structural revision by Ueno and co-workers in 2011. In the fourth and final chapter this thesis will discuss the synthesis of selected synthetic analogues employing the Noyori asymmetric transfer hydrogenation.

description: We study codimension-two BPS defects in 2d N=(2,2) supersymmetric gauge theories, focusing especially on those characterized by vortex-like singularities in the dynamical or non-dynamical gauge field. We classify possible SUSY-preserving boundary conditions on charged matter fields around the vortex defects, and derive a formula for defect correlators on the squashed sphere. We also prove an equivalence relation between vortex defects and 0d-2d coupled systems. Our defect correlators are shown to be consistent with the mirror symmetry duality between Abelian gauged linear sigma models and Landau-Ginzburg models, as well as that between the minimal model and its orbifold. We also study the vortex defects inserted at conical singularities.

title: Seeking Eliza : agency, gender and legislative proscriptions on colonial convict women
Creators: name: Berry, MA
Publisher: name: University of Tasmania
Year: 2020

description: From the moment that Eliza Callaghan appeared at the Old Bailey, London, in 1821, to her life as mistress Eliza Batman of the property Kingston in Van Diemen’s Land and Port Phillip, through to her murder in colonial Geelong where she lived under the pseudonym Sarah Willoughby, her life was characterised by fractured and shifting identities, mobility, privilege as well as poverty, lived within the locus of colony and empire. Yet historians have either excluded her completely or dismissed her as a low class, drunken convict. This thesis critically examines colonial women, the law, and gender in south-eastern settler Australia in the early nineteenth century by examining the life of Eliza, a runaway convict, who became the wife of high-profile settler John Batman, and established the Port Phillip enterprise with him. Moving beyond a simple a retrieval history, this thesis utilises rich, previously unexamined archival records and extensive first-hand accounts to examine Eliza’s life, to examine the larger structural disadvantages experienced by married colonial women, under laws of coverture at this time. In major contrast to arguments provided by previous historians, I argue that properly contextualising Eliza’s predicament within the structural, legal and social realities of colonial women reveals the ways that women were systemically disadvantaged. The financial and legal implications of coverture and dower, for example, operated on several levels, compounding serious disadvantage with every application. I expose the operations of a colonial and patriarchal hierarchy, which worked to subvert women in south-eastern Australian colonies. Through the close examination of the complex legal framework of colonial women’s lives, in particular convictism, coverture and dower, I demonstrate the ways that the structural constraints of the time operated to greatly limit their agency and opportunities.
Equivariant prequantization bundles on the space of connections and characteristic classes

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Differential Geometry (math.DG)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We show how characteristic classes determine equivariant prequantization bundles over the space of connections on a principal bundle. These bundles are shown to generalize the Chern-Simons line bundles to arbitrary dimensions. Our result applies to arbitrary bundles, and it is studied the action of both the gauge group and the automorphisms group. The action of the elements in the connected component of the identity of the group generalizes known results in the literature. The action of the elements not connected with the identity is shown to be determined by a characteristic class by using differential characters and equivariant cohomology. We extend our results to the space of Riemannian metrics and the actions of diffeomorphisms. In dimension 2, a $Γ_{M}$-equivariant prequantization bundle of the Weil-Petersson symplectic form on the Teichmüller space is obtained, where $Γ_{M}$ is the mapping class group of the surface M.

title: Quality assurance practices and preferences : a study of Australian accounting schools
Creators: name: Ashraf, SF
Publisher: name: University of Tasmania
Year: 2020

description: This research is an exploratory study which considers approaches to Quality Assurance (QA) in the assurance of learning adopted by accounting schools in Australia. These approaches are discussed alongside monitoring, review and improvements requirements for institutional QA in the Higher Education Standards Framework 2015, Domain 5; the professional accreditation requirements of Australian accounting professional bodies; and the requirements of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). The effectiveness of different QA approaches and the motivations to adopt them are explored. Differences in QA practices between schools that hold AACSB accreditation and those that do not are identified, along with the impact of this on the achievement of communication as a learning outcome and employability. Employers and the profession have identified communication as an important attribute and appear unsatisfied with accounting graduates’ communication skills. In this thesis, 39 business schools offering accounting degrees were surveyed and 16 participants from eight accounting schools offering postgraduate degrees in accounting were interviewed. A mixed methods approach adopting surveys and interviews was used, with surveys used to collect basic information and interviews used to enrich and explore issues arising from the survey data. Survey data was analysed using SPSS and interviews were analysed using a thematic content analysis and manual coding scheme. Practically, AACSB and non-AACSB schools need to consider increasing levels of bureaucracy, the implications this will have at the grass roots level and workload issues that may be involved in engaging academics in QA efforts both in terms of practices and process. Both types of schools need to communicate with their stakeholder communities in terms of the impact of adopted QA approaches and the importance of enhancing the attractiveness of accounting graduates to employers. Legitimacy, stakeholder and institutional theory are adopted to explore legitimating strategies and actions of the business schools. They contribute to understanding the role of stakeholders and isomorphic pressures on business schools in adopting a QA approach. This thesis finds that AACSB accreditation has been acquired by business (accounting) schools primarily for marketing purposes and the majority of sampled accounting schools did not undertake external peer reviews for external referencing but considered calibration as a measure of the effectiveness of the peer-review process.

description: We introduce DarkBit, an advanced software code for computing dark matter constraints on various extensions to the Standard Model of particle physics, comprising both new native code and interfaces to external packages. This release includes a dedicated signal yield calculator for gamma-ray observations, which significantly extends current tools by implementing a cascade decay Monte Carlo, as well as a dedicated likelihood calculator for current and future experiments (gamlike). This provides a general solution for studying complex particle physics models that predict dark matter annihilation to a multitude of final states. We also supply a direct detection package that models a large range of direct detection experiments (DDcalc), and provides the corresponding likelihoods for arbitrary combinations of spin-independent and spin-dependent scattering processes. Finally, we provide custom relic density routines along with interfaces to DarkSUSY, micrOMEGAs, and the neutrino telescope likelihood package nuLike. DarkBit is written in the framework of the Global And Modular Beyond the Standard Model Inference Tool (GAMBIT), providing seamless integration into a comprehensive statistical fitting framework that allows users to explore new models with both particle and astrophysics constraints, and a consistent treatment of systematic uncertainties. In this paper we describe its main functionality, provide a guide to getting started quickly, and show illustrative examples for results obtained with DarkBit (both as a standalone tool and as a GAMBIT module). This includes a quantitative comparison between two of the main dark matter codes (DarkSUSY and micrOMEGAs), and application of DarkBit's advanced direct and indirect detection routines to a simple effective dark matter model.

Frequency patterns of semantic change: Corpus-based evidence of a near-critical dynamics in language change

description: It is generally believed that, when a linguistic item acquires a new meaning, its overall frequency of use in the language rises with time with an S-shaped growth curve. Yet, this claim has only been supported by a limited number of case studies. In this paper, we provide the first corpus-based quantitative confirmation of the genericity of the S-curve in language change. Moreover, we uncover another generic pattern, a latency phase of variable duration preceding the S-growth, during which the frequency of use of the semantically expanding word remains low and more or less constant. We also propose a usage-based model of language change supported by cognitive considerations, which predicts that both phases, the latency and the fast S-growth, take place. The driving mechanism is a stochastic dynamics, a random walk in the space of frequency of use. The underlying deterministic dynamics highlights the role of a control parameter, the strength of the cognitive impetus governing the onset of change, which tunes the system at the vicinity of a saddle-node bifurcation. In the neighborhood of the critical point, the latency phase corresponds to the diffusion time over the critical region, and the S-growth to the fast convergence that follows. The duration of the two phases is computed as specific first passage times of the random walk process, leading to distributions that fit well the ones extracted from our dataset. We argue that our results are not specific to the studied corpus, but apply to semantic change in general.

description: In the tissue engineering field, the surface modification of hydrophobic nanofibers (NFs) to introduce cell-interactive chemical functionalities remains a challenge. Therefore, this study explores a novel three-step plasma based-method to synthesize coatings with a higher chemical selectivity in comparison to conventional plasma polymers. First, hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) plasma polymerization was performed on NFs (blend of poly-ε-caprolactone and poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide), after which the samples were exposed to a helium plasma. Both steps were performed in a medium-pressure dielectric barrier discharge. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that the plasma-based steps did not damage the NFs, while X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and water contact angle measurements showed that a hydrophilic silanol-rich layer was formed. This layer was used in the final step, in which (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES) was grafted on the plasma polymer to introduce primary amine groups onto the surface, which was confirmed by XPS. This APTES-based layer could be partially removed, but the remaining stable layer enhanced Schwann cell responses in live/dead, The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT), immunofluorescent, and adhesion assays in comparison to the untreated and HMDSO-based coated NFs. As such, the fabricated coatings with selective functionality on PCL/PLGA NFs are a promising candidate to use in the tissue engineering field.

description: In this paper we construct a non-autonomous version of the Hietarinta equation [Hietarinta J., J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 37 (2004), L67-L73] and study its integrability properties. We show that this equation possess linear growth of the degrees of iterates, generalized symmetries depending on arbitrary functions, and that it is Darboux integrable. We use the first integrals to provide a general solution of this equation. In particular we show that this equation is a sub-case of the non-autonomous $Q_{\rm V}$ equation, and we provide a non-autonomous Möbius transformation to another equation found in [Hietarinta J., J. Nonlinear Math. Phys. 12 (2005), suppl. 2, 223-230] and appearing also in Boll's classification [Boll R., Ph.D. Thesis, Technische Universität Berlin, 2012].

title: LRP1 is a negative regulator of oligodendrogenesis in the adult mouse central nervous system
Creators: name: Auderset, LF
Publisher: name: University of Tasmania
Year: 2020

description: Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) are found throughout the adult central nervous system (CNS), where they continually differentiate into oligodendrocytes. This feature of OPC behaviour makes them an attractive target for remyelination enhancing therapies aimed at treating demyelinating diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis. However, for this approach to work, further information is needed about the role of specific cell-surface receptors in directing OPC behaviour in the adult CNS. One cell surface receptor that is highly expressed by OPCs, but rapidly down regulated as they differentiate into oligodendrocytes, is the low-density lipoprotein receptor related protein (LRP1). LRP1 is a member of the low-density lipoprotein receptor family, and it is capable of signalling in a variety of ways. To investigate the role that LRP1 plays in modulating adult OPCs, I conditionally deleted Lrp1 from OPCs in the healthy and demyelinated adult mouse CNS. In the healthy CNS, OPCs without Lrp1 had an increased rate of proliferation and gave rise to a larger number of newborn oligodendrocytes overtime. However, the myelinating profile of individual new oligodendrocytes was unchanged. Following cuprizone induced demyelination control mice had larger demyelinated lesions when compared to Lrp1-deleted mice, suggesting that the blockade of LRP1 signalling by OPCs could enhance remyelination. By studying the effect of Lrp1 deletion and the ligand activation of LRP1 on OPC behaviour in vitro, I determined that the effect of LRP1 on OPC proliferation was likely to be secondary to the inhibitory effect of LRP1 on OPC differentiation. These data suggest that suppressing LRP1 signalling may be useful in enhancing CNS myelin repair.
title: Aerodynamic analysis of segment rigid sails and estimation of propulsive power from sail array on large powered ship
Creators: name: Atkinson, GM
Publisher: name: University of Tasmania
Year: 2020

description: Although not in widespread use today, rigid sails installed on ocean-going powered ships could potentially lead to reductions in fuel oil consumption and polluting airborne emissions including greenhouse gases (GHG). Despite their potential though, there is limited literature available regarding the aerodynamic analysis of rigid sails, the use of rigid sails arranged as an array and the modelling of the fuel consumption reductions that might be possible. This research project therefore studied the airflow around a rigid sail and rigid sail array using a virtual wind tunnel and a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software application. A new rigid sail design designated as a segment rigid sail (SRS) was also created. This formed the basis for constructing 3D computer models that were subsequently used as the baseline for the analysis of power from an SRS array. Additionally a 3D computer model of a concept ship specially designed to be fitted with rigid sails was created and airflow around the 3D ship model (Eco Ship) was also observed. Furthermore a methodology for creating a rigid sail power profile was created, and a model for estimating the potential propulsive power a sail array could provide and the associated reduction in fuel oil consumption developed. A review of various aspects related to the installation and operation of rigid sails on powered ships was also undertaken and this took into account engineering, operational and economic considerations. This project found that a single SRS with a sail area of 102 m\(^2\) and an aspect ratio (AR) of 1.6 could potentially provide up to 171.6 kW of propulsive power on a ship operating at 12 knots with the apparent wind speed being 35 knots. It was also determined that an SRS array with 14 sails and a total sail area of 1400 m\(^2\) could provide approximately 47% of main engine power (P\(_{ME}\)) for an Eco Ship if the vessel was operating at a low speed and strong winds were present. Using typical operational profiles for a bulker, propulsive power from the sail array (P\(_{SA}\)) was found to provide between 1.7% to 7.7% of main engine (M/E) power on voyages lasting several days during which wind conditions and the ships speed varied. Analysis conducted during the project also indicated that there was scope to improve the performance of multiple sails arranged in an array by adjusting their spacing, orientation and rotation either together as an array, or potentially adjusting the position of each sail individually via an automated control system.

description: We discuss the realization of conformal invariance for Wilson actions using the formalism of the exact renormalization group. This subject has been studied extensively in the recent works of O. J. Rosten. The main purpose of this paper is to reformulate Rosten's formulas for conformal transformations using a method developed earlier for the realization of any continuous symmetry in the exact renormalization group formalism. The merit of the reformulation is simplicity and transparency via the consistent use of equation-of-motion operators. We derive equations that imply the invariance of the Wilson action under infinitesimal conformal transformations which are non-linearly realized but form a closed conformal algebra. The best effort has been made to make the paper self-contained; ample background on the formalism is provided.

title: A resilience-based causal framework for conducting safety analysis
Creators: name: Clarke, Lauchlan J
Publisher: name: University of Tasmania

description: A causal relationship is a relative and innate concept that is necessary for reasoning and intervening within an uncertain domain. Almost every field of study has established causal frameworks designed to utilise salient information to satisfy a specific purpose. Due to its comparatively recent maturation and a perceived alignment of purposes, the existing causal framework adopted in formal safety analysis borrows heavily from other fields, such as law and engineering. Although safety methodologies are becoming increasingly sophisticated, their underlying causal assumptions have mostly continued unchallenged despite their direct influence on safety outcomes. Recently, safety methodologies based on the current causal framework have received criticism related to their ability to meet increased public safety expectations when applied to complex socio-technical systems. While these criticisms are justified, they relate to a specific framework of causality rather than the use of causality itself. Based on the qualitative concepts of Resilience Engineering and Safety-II, this research explicates a new causal framework capable of generating proactive safety recommendations in complex socio-technical systems. Based on this framework, a methodology is developed that utilises a functional decomposition scheme to learn the structure of causal networks. The approach incorporates a broad range of information and focusses on the decisions and tasks required for a system to achieve its purpose. The new methodology is applied to benefit safety in a novel maritime transhipping operation. Implicitly, the approach develops a causally structured reservoir of information relevant to the functioning of the system. This information develops the systems potential to anticipate and respond to variability. Explicitly, the networks act as an oracle for exploring hypothetical contexts and assessing the effect of proposed recommendations.

description: The in-plane DC conductivity of twisted bilayer graphene (TBLG) is calculated using an expansion of the real-space Kubo-Bastin conductivity in terms of Chebyshev polynomials. We investigate within a tight-binding (TB) approach the transport properties as a function of rotation angle, applied perpendicular electric field and vacancy disorder. We find that for high-angle twists, the two layers are effectively decoupled, and the minimum conductivity at the Dirac point corresponds to double the value observed in monolayer graphene. This remains valid even in the presence of vacancies, hinting that chiral symmetry is still preserved. On the contrary, for low twist angles, the conductivity at the Dirac point depends on the twist angle and is not protected in the presence of disorder. Furthermore, for low angles and in the presence of an applied electric field, we find that the chiral boundary states emerging between AB and BA regions contribute to the DC conductivity, despite the appearance of strongly localized states in the AA regions. The results agree with recent conductivity experiments on twisted bilayer graphene.

description: In this work, we present a stand-alone and fiber-coupled quantum-light source. The plug-and-play device is based on an optically driven quantum dot delivering single photons via an optical fiber. The quantum dot is deterministically integrated in a monolithic microlens which is precisely coupled to the core of an optical fiber via active optical alignment and epoxide adhesive bonding. The rigidly coupled fiber-emitter assembly is integrated in a compact Stirling cryocooler with a base temperature of 35 K. We benchmark our practical quantum device via photon auto-correlation measurements revealing $g^{(2)}(0)=0.07 \pm 0.05$ under continuous-wave excitation and we demonstrate triggered non-classical light at a repetition rate of 80 MHz. The long-term stability of our quantum light source is evaluated by endurance tests showing that the fiber-coupled quantum dot emission is stable within 4% over several successive cool-down/warm-up cycles. Additionally, we demonstrate non-classical photon emission for a user-intervention-free 100-hour test run and stable single-photon count rates up to 11.7 kHz with a standard deviation of 4%.

title: Changes in gait variability and balance control during exertional walking in adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Creators: name: Carter, DM
Publisher: name: University of Tasmania

description: Background People with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) have high rates of accidental falls. Increased gait variability and poor balance control are known as risk factors for accidental falls in this population. Exertional walking tasks are used in clinical assessments, however changes in gait variability and balance control during exertional walking assessments are not well researched. This study aims to assess changes in gait variability and balance control during and immediately after walking assessments, and the relationship these falls risk factors have with exertion. Methods Participants recruited from a pulmonary rehabilitation program performed two Six-Minute Walk Tests (6MWT) and two Incremental Shuttle Walk Tests (ISWT) one week apart, in a randomised order. Gait variability was measured using a gait sensor mat during the walk tests, and balance control was measured using Functional Reach Test (FR) before and after each walking test. The results were compared using a paired t-test. Concurrently, measures of exertion Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE), Respiratory Rate (RR), Heart Rate (HR), Peripheral Oxygen Saturation (SpO\(_2\)), and End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide (ETCO\(_2\)) were collected during each walking test. Results Twenty people (17 females, 3 males), aged 71 (±8) years, with Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) percent 64 (±18%) of predicted, and Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) rank 2.2 (±0.75) attended on two occasions. There was no statistically significant change in any of the measures of gait variability analysed from start to end-test in either the 6MWT or the ISWT, despite significant statistical change in RPE (p= .002, p= .007, respectively), HR (p= .010, 0.009, respectively), and SpO\(_2\) (p= .004, p= .034, respectively) for both walk tests, and RR (p= .006) in the 6MWT. Stance time standard deviation had a small but statistically significant inverse association with HR (r= - .143, p= .016) in the 6MWT and a positive association with RPE (r= .133, p= .049) in the ISWT. There were no other statistically significant associations with measures of exertion. There was no statistically significant difference in FR between pre or post reach in the 6MWT (30.08 ±6.15, 29.95 ±5.08 cm, respectively; p= .860), or in the ISWT (30.88 ±5.95 pre-test and 30.23 ±5.51cm post-test, p= .463). Conclusions There was no increase in gait variability despite participants reaching maximum levels of exertion and balance control, as measured by FR test did not change immediately after participating in the walk tests. These results indicate that participating in the 6MWT and ISWT does not degrade gait variability from baseline levels of exertion in a community-dwelling COPD cohort and supports the continued use of either walking test.

Inspecting Job Hiring Discrimination Against Men Entering Female-Dominated Occupations
Creators: name: Weaver, Cole
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2023

description: This thesis uses an audit study field experiment to examine potential hiring discrimination against male job candidates entering traditionally female-dominated fields. The experiment revealed evidence of discrimination against male candidates in some female-dominated fields, but for male candidates in others. Notably, the descriptive findings suggest that occupations emphasizing manual labor may exhibit a preference for male candidates. However, it is important to note that these conclusions remain purely observational in nature and require further analysis to establish causal relationships. Furthermore, the study contributes to the literature by shedding light on the nuanced heterogeneity within specific occupations regarding responses to male candidates. While the research does not delve into the underlying causes or mechanisms driving such discrimination, it emphasizes the presence of bias in hiring practices. These findings underscore the need for further investigation into the complex dynamics influencing gender-based employment disparities in traditionally female-dominated sectors.
A functional perspective on emergent supersymmetry

description: We investigate the emergence of ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetry in the long-range behavior of three-dimensional parity-symmetric Yukawa systems. We discuss a renormalization approach that manifestly preserves supersymmetry whenever such symmetry is realized, and use it to prove that supersymmetry-breaking operators are irrelevant, thus proving that such operators are suppressed in the infrared. All our findings are illustrated with the aid of the $ε$-expansion and a functional variant of perturbation theory, but we provide numerical estimates of critical exponents that are based on the non-perturbative functional renormalization group.
