title: Invisible Women: Understanding Female Involvement in Contemporary Political and Revolutionary Conflict
Creators: name: Vogel, Lauren Katherina
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Female agency
subject: Female roles in post-conflict processes
subject: Female roles in politics and revolution
subject: Theoretical framework

description: The dominant narrative of female involvement in political and revolutionary conflict is that of victimhood. This script has framed both the research and policy paradigms of female involvement in conflict. Hence, women’s participation has typically been perceived as minor or unimportant with highly visible instances (e.g. suicide bombers or belligerents) viewed as isolated and abnormal deviations. Furthermore, female involvement is typically attributed to personal and emotional factors – political/ideological commitment or factors beyond the individual are seldom considered. In this way, female agency, responsibility, and credibility as a belligerent or terrorist are consistently undermined. In practice this has meant that women are often prevented from engaging in post-conflict processes, particularly disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration programs. In the research context, the predominant focus has been on the personal reasons for women’s violent operations, rather than on developing and refining theory. As such, no overarching theory of female involvement in political and revolutionary conflict existed. Methodologically, speculative and anecdotal approaches dominate in the absence of empirical research examining population level trends. Therefore, the purpose of this doctoral research was to empirically develop a theoretical framework of female involvement in contemporary political and revolutionary conflict that adequately accounted for the spectrum of female participation and the macro-level, meso-level, and micro-level factors that may influence their involvement. This project consisted of, first, developing the theoretical framework and, second, testing the framework. Three empirical quantitative studies utilising secondary data comprised the theory development stage.

description: Coronagraphic optical observations of six Vega-like stars reveal reflection nebulosities, five of which were previously unknown. The nebulosities illuminated by HD 4881, HD 23362, HD 23680, HD 26676, and HD 49662 resemble that of the Pleiades, indicating an interstellar origin for dust grains. The reflection nebulosity around HD 123160 has a double-arm morphology, but no disk-like feature is seen as close as 2.5 arcsec from the star in K-band adaptive optics data. We demonstrate that uniform density dust clouds surrounding HD 23362, HD 23680 and HD 123160 can account for the observed 12-100 micron spectral energy distributions. For HD 4881, HD 26676, and HD 49662 an additional emission source, such as from a circumstellar disk or non-equilibrium grain heating, is required to fit the 12-25 micron data. These results indicate that in some cases, particularly for Vega-like stars located beyond the Local Bubble (>100 pc), the dust responsible for excess thermal emission may originate from the interstellar medium rather than from a planetary debris system.

description: The recent announcement that sodium absorption has been observed in the atmosphere of HD209458b, the only EGP observed to transit its parent star, is the first direct detection of an EGP atmosphere. We explore the possibility that neutral sodium is {\em not} in local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) in the outer atmosphere of irradiated EGPs and that the sodium concentration may be underestimated by models that make the LTE assumption. Our results indicate that it may not be necessary to invoke excessive photoionization, low metallicity, or even high altitude clouds to explain the observations.

description: We propose two 8-dimensional (8D) modulation formats (8D-2048PRS-T1 and 8D-2048PRS-T2) with a spectral efficiency of 5.5 bit/4D-sym, where the 8 dimensions are obtained from two time slots and two polarizations. Both formats provide a higher tolerance to nonlinearity by selecting symbols with nonidentical states of polarization (SOPs) in two time slots. The performance of these novel 8D modulation formats is assessed in terms of the effective signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and normalized generalized mutual information. 8D-2048PRS-T1 is more suitable for high SNRs, while 8D-2048PRS-T2 is shown to be more tolerant to nonlinearities. A sensitivity improvement of at least 0.25 dB is demonstrated by maximizing normalized generalized mutual information (NGMI). For a long-haul nonlinear optical fiber transmission system, the benefit of mitigating the nonlinearity is demonstrated and a reach increase of 6.7% (560 km) over time-domain hybrid four-dimensional two-amplitude eight-phase shift keying (TDH-4D-2A8PSK) is observed.
Factorization of the translation kernel for fast rigid image alignment

description: An important component of many image alignment methods is the calculation of inner products (correlations) between an image of $n\times n$ pixels and another image translated by some shift and rotated by some angle. For robust alignment of an image pair, the number of considered shifts and angles is typically high, thus the inner product calculation becomes a bottleneck. Existing methods, based on fast Fourier transforms (FFTs), compute all such inner products with computational complexity $\mathcal{O}(n^3 \log n)$ per image pair, which is reduced to $\mathcal{O}(N n^2)$ if only $N$ distinct shifts are needed. We propose to use a factorization of the translation kernel (FTK), an optimal interpolation method which represents images in a Fourier--Bessel basis and uses a rank-$H$ approximation of the translation kernel via an operator singular value decomposition (SVD). Its complexity is $\mathcal{O}(Hn(n + N))$ per image pair. We prove that $H = \mathcal{O}((W + \log(1/ε))^2)$, where $2W$ is the magnitude of the maximum desired shift in pixels and $ε$ is the desired accuracy. For fixed $W$ this leads to an acceleration when $N$ is large, such as when sub-pixel shift grids are considered. Finally, we present numerical results in an electron cryomicroscopy application showing speedup factors of $3$-$10$ with respect to the state of the art.

title: A Case Study Analysis of Preservice Technology Education Students’ Professional Identity Transition
Creators: name: Trevallion, Deborah Lee
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Preservice teachers
subject: Secondary technology education teachers
subject: Teacher identity
subject: Transition to work

description: This thesis investigates the factors that shape the professional identity of preservice Technology Education (TE) students who are transitioning from trade and technical workplaces to university in order to become secondary TE teachers. During the period that this research was undertaken, TE underwent major curriculum changes and this succession of curriculum change generated high levels of tension and confusion in TE (Seemann, 2003), resulting in a change in identity for secondary TE teachers (Harfield, 2014; Williams, 2012) and a resistance to further TE curriculum changes (Howard & Mozejko, 2015). As such, the challenges associated with professional identity development must be addressed to enable the effective transition of a preservice TE student to a TE teacher. This study focuses on the professional identity changes required to support the modifications to the TE curriculum and seeks to identify a way to promote professional identity transition. This study utilises six case studies. The data was collected during the first semester of preservice teachers study in a TE Foundation course. The data was collected through entry folios that were compiled to gain entry into the Initial Teacher Education (ITE) programme, entry and exit concept maps, and observation of authentic activity, online reflective journaling, and semi-formal interviews. The use of multiple case studies allowed both micro and macro data analysis to discern similarities and differences in the results across all participants involved (Creswell, 2009). A comprehensive cross-case analysis enabled an in-depth comparison to be conducted.
Consistency of the local Hubble constant with the cosmic microwave background
Creators: name: Lombriser, Lucas
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A significant tension has become manifest between the current expansion rate of our Universe measured from the cosmic microwave background by the Planck satellite and from local distance probes, which has prompted for interpretations of that as evidence of new physics. Within conventional cosmology a likely source of this discrepancy is identified here as a matter density fluctuation around the cosmic average of the 40 Mpc environment in which the calibration of Supernovae Type Ia separations with Cepheids and nearby absolute distance anchors is performed. Inhomogeneities on this scale easily reach 40% and more. In that context, the discrepant expansion rates serve as evidence of residing in an underdense region of $δ_{\rm env}\approx-0.5\pm0.1$. The probability for finding this local expansion rate given the Planck data lies at the 95% confidence level. Likewise, a hypothetical equivalent local data set with mean expansion rate equal to that of Planck, while statistically favoured, would not gain strong preference over the actual data in the respective Bayes factor. These results therefore suggest borderline consistency between the local and Planck measurements of the Hubble constant. Generally accounting for the environmental uncertainty, the local measurement may be reinterpreted as a constraint on the cosmological Hubble constant of $H_0=74.7^{+5.8}_{-4.2}$ km/s/Mpc. The current simplified analysis may be augmented with the employment of the full available data sets, an impact study for the immediate $\lesssim10$ Mpc environment of the distance anchors, more prone to inhomogeneities, as well as expansion rates measured by quasar lensing, gravitational waves, currently limited to the same 40 Mpc region, and local galaxy distributions.

Subjects: subject: galectins

subject: structure-based drug design

description: Galectins are [beta]-galactoside binding proteins that are found in all type of living organisms, and involved in many physiological functions such as inflammation, immune responses, cell adhesion, growth and migration, apoptosis, etc. Due to their association with the progression of several metabolic and disease conditions, galectins are recognised as important targets for the drug development. Galectin-8 is involved in several biological functions such as cell adhesion and growth, immune responses, inflammation, new blood vessel formation, osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation, cancer growth and metastasis, platelet aggregation. Structurally, galectin-8 is a tandem-repeat type galectin, comprising an N-terminal and (galectin-8N) C-terminal (galectin-8C) CRD domain connected by a peptide linker. Superimposition of both the CRDs reveals structural differences between their carbohydrate binding sites. The individual N- and C-CRD domain shows similar functional roles which are observed with full length galectin-8, however, their potency is less compared to full length galectin-8. Several structural investigations showed that the N-terminal domain preferentially binds to the anionic sialylated, sulphated oligosaccharides due to the presence of the unique Arg59, which is only present in galectin-8N and hence is unique amongst all galectins. The main body of research presented in this thesis is about design, synthesis of selective and potent galectin-8N antagonists by utilising a structure-based drug design approach. [...]

title: The Role of Functional Groups in Carbon Dots' Emission and Sensing Applications
Creators: name: Li, Xiang
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Carbon dots
subject: Fluorescent material
subject: Sensing applications

description: As a novel fluorescent material, carbon dots (CDs) demonstrate many excellent properties such as low toxicity, high stability and high resistance to photo bleaching. They are very likely to be applied in sensing, bio-imaging, photo catalysis and lighting devices, which require that the CDs can be tuneable in emission colours. Research to date have pointed to that the functional groups of CDs are very important to the emission of CDs, this MPhil work attempts to make some contributions to the understanding of how the functional groups affect the emission colour and the sensing selectivity. By reviewing many research papers, it is concluded that instead of size effect, the surface status related to the functional groups, specifically the O, N and S contents of the CDs, becomes the major factor of adjusting the emission colour of CDs. When the O, N or S contents are increased, red-shift of the fluorescence was observed in many studies. Apart from the colour tuning, the role of functional groups in the sensing applications of CDs is even more important. They act as the receptors which could recognise and capture the specific type of analyte, before the subsequent fluorescence quenching caused by aggregation or electron transfer (ET) process.

description: We present a detailed comparison between the latest observational data on the kinematical structure of the core of M15, obtained with the Hubble STIS and WFPC2 instruments, and the results of dynamical simulations carried out using the special-purpose GRAPE-6 computer. The observations imply the presence of a significant amount of dark matter in the cluster core. In our dynamical simulations, neutron stars and/or massive white dwarfs concentrate to the center through mass segregation, resulting in a sharp increase in $M/L$ toward the center. While consistent with the presence of a central black hole, the Hubble data can also be explained by this central concentration of stellar-mass compact objects. The latter interpretation is more conservative, since such remnants result naturally from stellar evolution, although runaway merging leading to the formation of a black hole may also occur for some range of initial conditions. We conclude that no central massive object is required to explain the observational data, although we cannot conclusively exclude such an object at the level of $\sim500-1000$ solar masses. Our findings are unchanged when we reduce the assumed neutron-star retention fraction in our simulations from 100% to 0%.

Comparison of cosmological models using Bayesian theory

description: Using the Bayesian theory of model comparison, a new cosmological model due to John and Joseph [M. V. John and K. Babu Joseph, Phys. Rev. D 61, 87304 (2000)] is compared with the standard Ω_Λ \neq 0 cosmological model. Their analysis based on the recent apparent magnitude-redshift data of Type Ia supernovas found evidence against the new model; our more careful analysis finds instead that this evidence is not strong. On the other hand, we find that the angular size-redshift data from compact (milliarcsecond) radio sources do not discriminate between the two models. Our analysis serves as an example of how to compare the relative merits of cosmological models in general, using the Bayesian approach.

description: We examine the prospect of using the observed abundance of weak gravitational lenses to constrain the equation-of-state parameter w of the dark energy. Here we solve the spherical-collapse model with dark energy, clarifying some ambiguities found in the literature, and provide fitting formulas for the overdensity at virialization and the linear-theory overdensity at collapse. We then compute the variation in the predicted weak-lens abundance with w. We find that the predicted redshift distribution and number count of weak lenses are highly degenerate in w and Ω_0. If we fix Ω_0 the number count for w=-2/3 is a factor of 2 smaller than for the \LambdaCDM model. However, if we allow Ω_0 to vary with w such that the amplitude of the matter power spectrum as measured by COBE matches that obtained from the X-ray cluster abundance, the decrease in the predicted lens abundance is less than 25% for -1 < w < -0.4. We show that a more promising method for constraining the dark energy---one that is largely unaffected by the Ω_0 - w degeneracy as well as uncertainties in observational noise---is to compare the relative abundance of virialized X-ray lensing clusters with the abundance of non-virialized, X-ray underluminous, lensing halos. For aperture sizes of 15 arcmin, the predicted ratio of the non-virialized to virialized lenses is greater than 40% and varies by 20% between w=-1 and w=-0.6. Overall, if all other weak lensing parameters are fixed, a survey must cover > 40 degree^2 in order for the number count to differentiate a \LambdaCDM cosmology from a w=-0.9 model to 3σ. However, given uncertainties in the lensing parameters, the non-virialized lens fraction provides the most robust constraint on w, requiring 50 degree^2 of sky coverage in order to differentiate w=-1 from w=-0.6 to 3σ.

description: We have conducted a search for bright repeating Fast Radio Bursts in our nearby Universe with the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) in single-dish mode. We used eight ASKAP 12-m dishes, each equipped with a Chequerboard Phased Array Feed forming 36 beams on the sky, to survey $\sim$30,000 deg$^{2}$ of the southern sky ($-90^{\circ} < δ< +30^{\circ}$) in 158 antenna days. The fluence limit of the survey is 22 Jyms. We report the detection of FRB 180515 in our survey. We found no repeating FRBs in a total mean observation of 3hrs per pointing divided into one-hour intervals, which were separated in time ranging between a day to a month. Using our non-detection, we exclude the presence of a repeating FRB similar to FRB 121102 closer than $z=0.004$ in the survey area --- a volume of at least $9.4 \times 10^4$Mpc$^3$ --- at 95% confidence.

Abstract:

KM3NeT is a multi-site detector observatory devoted to the detection and study of cosmic neutrinos and their sources in the Universe and to the measurement of the neutrino oscillation parameters. Two detectors are under construction in the Mediterranean Sea: ARCA, offshore Portopalo di Capo Passero, Italy, and ORCA, offshore Toulon, France. ARCA will comprise more than 200 detection units, vertical structures anchored on the seafloor with a height of 710 m, equipped with a total of 128,000 photomultiplier tubes to detect the feeble light cone produced after the neutrino interactions. The detector must operate continuously for about 20 years without maintenance since its topology does not allow the recovery of assets. Currently, 28 detection units are deployed and provide data in real-time. The second phase of the construction of ARCA has started with the installation of a Direct Current - Fibre Optic system, which is composed of an onshore 100 kW power feeding equipment, a “Y”-shaped electro-optical cable with 48 fibres and two copper conductors, a cable termination frame equipped with four 10 kW medium-voltage converters, 16 electrical and 16 optical ROV mateable connectors. A major step for the deployment of the ARCA subsea infrastructure was the construction and installation of the junction boxes, which allow for the connection of several detection units to a single cable termination frame port, through a network of electro-optical cables laid on the seafloor. High-reliability criteria, including component selection, process control, and strategic redundancy adoption, are used for power electronics, optical routing, and amplification controls. In this talk, the main technological efforts accomplished in the last years are presented, along with an overview of the entire ARCA infrastructure, comprising both underwater and onshore parts.
Further Evidence for Large Intrinsic Redshifts

description: An examination of the positions and redshifts of the compact, QSO-like objects reported near the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068 has revealed many relationships that suggest strongly that the objects have been ejected from the galaxy. Although some of the same relations have been found for the compact objects near NGC 3516, the higher number of sources near NGC 1068 has resulted in a detailed physical model. The results indicate that the objects have been expelled in at least four similarly structured ejection events from a point near the center of NGC 1068 within the last 6 million years, with very modest velocities between 10,000 and 20,000 km/s. From the age and rotation angle of successive events, the rotation period of the central object is calculated to be approximately 10 million yrs, in good agreement with the nuclear rotation period obtained from kinematic studies of NGC 1068. The large redshifts of the objects cannot be explained by their modest ejection velocities and require an additional, large intrinsic component.

description: An upgrade of the Near Detector of the T2K long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment, ND280, has been proposed. This upgrade will include two new Time Projection Chambers, each equipped with 16 resistive MicroMegas modules for gas amplification. A first prototype of resistive MicroMegas has been designed, built, installed in the HARP field cage, and exposed to a beam of charged particles at CERN. The data have been used to characterize the performances of the resistive MicroMegas module. A spatial resolution of 300 $μm$ and a deposited energy resolution of 9% were observed for horizontal electrons crossing the TPCs at 30 cm from the anode. Such performances fully satisfy the requirements for the upgrade of the ND280 TPC.

Systematic Effects on Tangential and Radial Arc Statistics: The Finite Source Size and Ellipticities of the Lens and Source

Year: 2002

description: It has been recognized that the arc statistics of gravitational lensing is a useful probe of the density profile of clusters of galaxies. We examine several systematic effects which are important in predicting the number of arcs, with particular attention to the difference between tangential and radial arcs. First we derive an analytic expression of the cross section for radial arcs taking account of the source size and find that the moderate source size enhances the cross section for radial arcs while larger source size (\gtrsim 1'' in our example) suppresses the number of radial arcs. On the other hand, tangential arcs are much less sensitive to the source size. Next we numerically calculate the cross section for arcs considering the lens and source ellipticities. We find that the numbers of both tangential and radial arcs are highly enhanced by both ellipticities, by one or two orders of magnitude. The number ratio of radial to tangential arcs is, however, not so affected if the threshold axis ratio of arcs is large (\gtrsim 7). The number ratio therefore still remains good statistics which probe the density profile of the lens objects, if the source size effect is correctly taken into account.

description: Glycogen Phosphorylase (GP) is the regulatory enzyme that catalyses the first step in glycogen degradation and is a potential enzyme target for therapeutic intervention in the treatment of diabetes. The 16 amino acid C-terminal sequence of human Gl is the only known targeting subunit that binds to GPa. Blocking the interactions between Gl and GPa should reduce high blood glucose levels in a diabetic person. A segment of the 16 amino acid segment was chosen for a small molecule peptidomimetric approach, and de nova design from this segment identified the pyridone ring as apotential scaffold. This thesis reports the design and synthesis of 1.3-disubstituted pyridones as new class of GPa inhibitors.

description: We have investigated the background properties of EPIC-pn onboard XMM-Newton to establish the background subtraction method. Count rates of the background vary violently by two orders of magnitude at the maximum, while during the most quiet period, these are stable within 8 % at a 1 $σ$ level. The overall spectrum is dominated by particle events above 5 keV, and its spatial variation is also found. The long-term variation of the background is also investigated with CAL CLOSED data, where the filter wheel was in closed position with the internal calibration source illuminating the sensitive area. The average background count rate decreased by 20 % from March 2000 to January 2001, but it regained in February 2001. For the modeling of the background spectrum, we investigate relations between the 2.0--7.0 keV count rate and some characteristic parameters. The 2.0--7.0 keV background count rate shows a good correlation with the count rate of events outside the field of view. This correlation is usable for the modeling of the background.

title: The combined and interactive effects of multiple stressors on Great Barrier Reef ecosystems

Subjects: subject: Great Barrier Reef

subject: water quality

description: Coastal ecosystems are under threat by an increasing number of natural and anthropogenic stressors. These stressors co-occur in countless combinations, raising questions in the scientific community about their combined and/or interactive effects on individuals, populations and ecosystems. Environmental management of multiple stressors is challenging, as the governance of stressors are still largely based on individual effects, despite growing evidence of interactive effects in coastal ecosystems. As a result, the field of multiple stressor research is rapidly expanding to better understand, predict and manage stressor interactions. This thesis aims to address questions surrounding deteriorating water quality, as an indication of ecosystem health, of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). Land-based runoff has been identified as the greatest contributor to poor water quality in inshore marine ecosystems, such as the GBR. The three main water quality pollutants common to the GBR include pesticides, excess nutrients and suspended sediments. These pollutants originate from coastal development and agricultural practices and are transported to receiving waters via flood plumes. Following high rainfall during the Queensland wet season, GBR ecosystems are simultaneously exposed to high concentrations of pesticides, nutrients and sediments. This thesis presents a collection of related chapters that assess the effects of these three water quality stressors on coastal ecosystems.
