description: PLACES 2017 (full title: Programming Language Approaches to Concurrency- and Communication-cEntric Software) is the tenth edition of the PLACES workshop series. After the first PLACES, which was affiliated to DisCoTec in 2008, the workshop has been part of ETAPS every year since 2009 and is now an established part of the ETAPS satellite events. PLACES 2017 was held on 29th April in Uppsala, Sweden. The workshop series was started in order to promote the application of novel programming language ideas to the increasingly important problem of developing software for systems in which concurrency and communication are intrinsic aspects. This includes software for both multi-core systems and large-scale distributed and/or service-oriented systems. The scope of PLACES includes new programming language features, whole new programming language designs, new type systems, new semantic approaches, new program analysis techniques, and new implementation mechanisms. This volume consists of the papers accepted for presentation at the workshop.

description: We study the temperature dependence of static and dynamic responses of Coulomb interacting particles in two-dimensional traps across the thermal crossover from an amorphous solid- to liquid-like behaviors. While static correlations, that investigate the translational and bond orientational order in the confinements, show the footprints of hexatic-like phase at low temperature, dynamics of the particles slow down considerably in this state -- reminiscent of a supercooled liquid. Using density correlations, we probe intriguing signatures of long-lived inhomogeneities due to the interplay of the irregularity in the confinement and long-range Coulomb interactions. The relaxation at multiple time scales show stretched-exponential decay of spatial correlations in irregular traps. Temperature dependence of characteristic time scales, depicting the structural relaxation of the system, show striking similarities with those observed for the glassy systems indicating that, some of the key signatures of supercooled liquids emerge in confinements with lower spatial symmetries.

description: We study the strict type assignment for lambda-mu that is presented in [van Bakel'16]. We define a notion of approximants of lambda-mu-terms, show that it generates a semantics, and that for each typeable term there is an approximant that has the same type. We show that this leads to a characterisation via assignable types for all terms that have a head normal form, and to one for all terms that have a normal form, as well as to one for all terms that are strongly normalisable.

description: The aim of this study is to capture and scrutinize the nature of managers’ unwell-being through an original integrative research model in order to find out how this unwell-being is structured when the four prominent unwell-being factors, namely absenteeism, job alienation, job dissatisfaction, and presenteeism are accounted for. To enable generalizations at the national level, we contacted mid-level managers of the 500 largest businesses of Turkey. A professional consulting firm used our developed questionnaires to collect data from these managers. The two-phase research process pointed out that the model was realistic; there were indeed interactions among all the mentioned unwell-being factors. Further investigations revealed that the three of these factors (presenteeism, job alienation, and absenteeism) had strong and positive connections; whereas the fourth, job dissatisfaction, could pose very weak and negative interactions with the others. We believe that the integrative approach used is the unique contribution of this study as there are theoretical and practical gaps regarding the unwell-being research that consider an aggregation of multiple factors simultaneously.

description: The article aims to answer the questions of whether public intervention in the form of financial aid for guarantee funds is necessary. This study examines the consequences of the financial aid for guarantee funds in Poland at the beginning of the 2014-2020 EU budget in the light of state intervention theory. We investigate three possible effects for organizations providing guarantees for SMEs: changes in output (the value and number of guarantees), changes in the transaction scale (average guarantee) and changes in efficiency. We use a panel regression analysis to verify the existence of such effects. The results show that grants lead neither to an increase in output (the number of guarantees or the total value of guarantees) nor to the improvement of multiplier or default ratios. We observe the positive impact of grants on the transaction scale and cost efficiency. We continue the discussion on the justification of state intervention in the market and the consequences of the public aid. The research shows that state intervention through public support for guarantee schemes has both advantages and disadvantages. In order to enhance the efficiency of the guarantee schemes, government intervention on behalf of private investors should be limited. Our research has some limitations. The sample does not cover all the functioning guarantee funds, as there were financial statements that were not available and our study does not concern the whole EU budget period (2014-2020). The consequences of public financial aid for organizations providing guarantees for SMEs are rarely studied, therefore, the paper fills the research gap on the influence of public aid on guarantee funds functioning in European Union countries.

The main result is a necessary and sufficient condition two strict intersection types must satisfy in order to assure the existence of two terms showing the first type to be a retract of the second one. Moreover, the characterisation of retraction in the standard intersection types is discussed.

description: Asia-born migrants, who predominantly enter Australia as skilled migrants, contributed half of all permanent settler movements to the country in 2014–15 (Australian Bureauof Statistics 2015). Australia’s immigration policies are targeted at addressing skills shortages in the labour market; thus, understanding the occupational outcomes of migrants is a key component in assessing the success of Australia’s migration policies.However, existing literature on the occupational outcomes of migrants in Australia has tended to overlook the diversity exhibited between and within individual migrant groups, often concentrating on homogenous groupings. This thesis uses data from the 2011 Australian Census, focusing on the 51 sub-major level (2-digit code) occupations under the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations. The index of dissimilarity and the Australian Socioeconomic Index (2006) are applied to analyse the occupational attainment patterns of the ten largest Asian birthplace groups in Australia, as well as the diversity within thebirthplace groups by ancestry and gender. The results reveal heterogeneous occupational patterns, with concentrations of persons in high-skilled occupations in most birthplace groups, including Singapore and Malaysia; concentrations of persons in low-skilled occupations in other birthplace groups, such as Vietnam and the Philippines; and bimodal occupational concentrations in birthplace groups such as China and South Korea. However, after standardising for age, English proficiency and education, the results reveal lower proportions of persons in managerial and professional positions across most Asian birthplace groups.Compared to other ancestry groups within birthplace groups, those of European and Australian ancestries have higher propensities to be in managerial positions, while the Chinese and Indian ancestry groups attain the highest weighted occupational status levels.

description: The NA61/SHINE experiment studies hadron production in hadron+hadron, hadron+nucleus and nucleus+nucleus collisions. The strong interactions program has two main purposes: study the properties of the onset of deconfinement and search for the signatures of the critical point of strongly interacting matter. This aim is pursued by performing a two-dimensional scan of the phase diagram by varying the energy/momentum (13A-158A GeV/c) and the system size (p+p, Be+Be, Ar+Sc, Xe+La) of the collisions. This publication reviews recent results from p+p, Be+Be and Ar+Sc interactions. Measured particle spectra are discussed and compared to NA49 results from Pb+Pb collisions. The results illustrate the progress towards scanning the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter.

description: We present the results of transport measurements in a hybrid system consisting of an arch-shaped quantum point contact (QPC) and a reflector; together, they form an electronic cavity in between them. On tuning the arch-QPC and the reflector, asymmetric resonance peak in resistance is observed at the one-dimension to two-dimension transition. Moreover, a dip in resistance near the pinch-off of the QPC is found to be strongly dependent on the reflector voltage. These two structures fit very well with the Fano line shape. The Fano resonance was found to get weakened on applying a transverse magnetic field, and it smeared out at 100 mT. In addition, the Fano like shape exhibited a strong temperature dependence and gradually smeared out when the temperature was increased from 1.5 to 20 K. The results might be useful in realising device for quantum information processing.

description: Radio astronomy file formats are now required to store wide frequency bandwidths and multiple simultaneous receiver beams and must be able to account for versatile observing modes and numerous calibration strategies. The need to capture and archive high-time and high frequency-resolution data, along with the comprehensive metadata that fully describe the data, implies that a new data format and new processing software are required. This requirement is suited to a well-defined, hierarchically-structured and flexible file format. In this paper we present the Spectral-Domain Hierarchical Data Format (`SDHDF') -- a new file format for radio astronomy data, in particular for single dish or beam-formed data streams. Since 2018, SDHDF has been the primary format for data products from the spectral-line and continuum observing modes at Murriyang, the CSIRO Parkes 64-m radio telescope, and we demonstrate that this data format can also be used to store observations of pulsars and fast radio bursts.

Environmental predictive models for shark attacks in Australian waters

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Shark attacks tend to generate disproportionate public concern and, often, calls for enhanced mitigation. However, lethal shark control measures are undesirable and a pressing challenge is to develop non-lethal mitigation strategies. This requires an improved understanding of the drivers of shark attacks. In this study, the relationships between shark attacks in Australia (1915–2015) and environmental variables were explored. Attack data from the Australian Shark Attack File and corresponding environmental data were collated, analysed, and modelled. A K-means cluster analysis revealed two attack temporal periods: 1915–1970 and 1970–2015. White shark attacks in the 1970–2015 period showed the strongest correlation with environmental variables. To identify environmental predictors of white shark attacks, a series of models were fitted, and cross-validated, using presence (attack) and randomly-generated pseudo-absence (no attack) data. The most influential variables were location (river distance, latitude, and longitude), recent rainfall, and SST anomaly. SST anomaly on non-attack dates (mean range +0.5°C to +0.7°C) was significantly (P<0.05) higher than on attack dates (mean +0.2°C). This suggests that with warmer SSTs, white sharks may seek cooler inshore locations potentially bringing them closer to humans. Warning the public of shark attack conditions may decrease attack risk without further affecting marine life.

description: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between corneal opacity and vision acuity in patients with cataracts and coexisting corneal opacity by calculating the area of corneal opacities in the optical zone. Methods: This retrospective study involved 177 cataract patients (184 eyes) with corneal opacity who were successfully undergoing manual, small-incision cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation. These patients were all treated by the same surgeon from December, 2011 to March, 2014 in our hospital. The 184 eyes analyzed were divided into three groups according to the area of corneal opacity in optical zone (O/OZ): Group 1: O/OZ < 30%, Group 2: 30% ≤ O/OZ < 60%, Group 3: O/OZ ≥ 60%. Results: Preoperative visual acuity of all 184 eyes examined was less than 20/70. Postoperative visual acuity differed significantly between the three groups. O/OZ was significantly correlated with preoperative visual acuity and visual acuity improvement (P = 0.001, P = 0.039). When O/OZ < 60%, postoperative visual acuity was associated with hardness of the lens nucleus. When O/OZ ≥ 60%, visual acuity depended on the area of corneal opacity rather than the hardness of the nucleus. Conclusion: Findings from this study demonstrate that manual small-incision cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation for patients with cataract coexisting corneal opacity is feasible and safe. Visual acuity was significantly correlated with both O/OZ and lens opacity.

description: This study investigates the impact of the business cycle on the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) for the Eswatini Kingdom over the period 1970-2014. To this end, we employ the nonlinear autoregressive distributive lag (NARDL) model to capture the long-run and short-run cointegration effects between economic activity and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions over different phases of the business cycle. Our findings reveal that economic activity only degrades the environment during upswing of the economic cycle whilst this relationship is insignificant during downswing of the cycle. We specifically compute a value of $3.57 worth of output been gained at the cost of a metric unit of emissions during economic expansionary phases. Altogether, these results insinuate much needed government intervention in the market for emissions via environmental tax reforms (ETR) which should be designed with countercyclical bias towards upswing the business cycle.
Perturbing the brain to measure distinct conscious states and track cortico-thalamic causal interactions
Creators: name: Rembado, Irene
Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Life Sciences
subject: Neuroscience and Neurobiology

description: The proposed project investigates the underlying cellular mechanisms of an innovative methodology detecting the presence of consciousness - the Perturbational Complexity Index (PCI), which measures the complexity of electroencephalographic (EEG) responses to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). This measurement has been shown to be directly related to the conscious state of healthy volunteers and patients. Based on the concept of neuronal integration and differentiation, this empirical measure of consciousness derived from Integrated Information Theory (IIT), one of the most prominent theories of consciousness. Despite its recognized success in distinguishing between conscious and unconscious states in humans, little is known about the underlying cellular actors. We will develop a mouse model of this paradigm that combine large-scale EEG signals with recordings from multiple Neuropixels probes (each with 384 recording channels along a 10 mm long shaft), targeting cortical and subcortical areas while we administer substances that alter the conscious states of the animal, in particular the anesthetics isoflurane and urethane, and the psychedelic psilocybin. Our main hypothesis is that PCI will track the conscious state of the animal by decreasing from wakefulness to anesthesia and increasing from wakefulness to psychedelic state. Thanks to our unique setup, we will be able to probe the activity and interactions within/between thalamus and cortex across the different states at multiple scales: from 30 EEG channels to hundreds of Local Field Potential (LFP) and spiking channels. This will allow to infer which specific brain regions and cortical layers are causally interacting to generate the large-scale brain dynamic captured by the PCI measurement. The publicly available dataset will be an invaluable resource for the scientific community investigating consciousness as it will provide, for the first time, a comparison at the cellular level of the deterministic interactions among distributed groups of neurons across different states of consciousness. The data generated by this study will help to refine the proposed theories of consciousness, in particular IIT.

description: Optical hybrid entanglement can be created between two qubits, one encoded in a single photon and another one in coherent states with opposite phases. It opens the path to a variety of quantum technologies, such as heterogeneous quantum networks, merging continuous and discrete variable encoding, and enabling the transport and interconversion of information. However, reliable characterization of the nature of this entanglement is limited so far to full quantum state tomography. Here, we perform a thorough study of Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) Bell inequality tests, enabling practical verification of quantum correlations for optical hybrid entanglement. We show that a practical violation of this inequality is possible with simple photon number on/off measurements if detection efficiencies stay above 82%. Another approach, based on photon-number parity measurements, requires 94% efficiency but works well in the limit of higher photon populations. Both tests use no postselection of the measurement outcomes and they are free of the fair-sampling hypothesis. Our proposal paves the way to performing loophole-free tests using feasible experimental tasks such as coherent state interference and photon counting, and to verification of hybrid entanglement in real-world applications.

“The home that dwells in us”: a social constructionist perspective of the displaced narrative identities, work ethic and spirituality of Palestinian-Australians
Creators: name: Fayyad, Farah
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This study sought to explore the influence, manifestation and embodiment of the Palestinian catastrophe (“Nakba”) on Palestinian-Australians through the exploration of their personal narratives. Through their narratives, it sought to explore how their identities are constructed, in particular, their displaced identities and how that may influence or play a role in the sense making of their own work ethic and sense of spirituality in their work contexts. This study adopted a qualitative approach underpinned in the social constructivist interpretive philosophical foundation. Fourteen in depth semi-structured narrative interviews were conducted that explored the manifestation and embodiment of the displacement of Palestinians within the work context of participants from varying ages, professional backgrounds, industries and migratory patterns. This allowed participants to provide rich insights into the construction of their stories that included reflections on their past, present, and future. Through a thematic alanalysis of the narratives, it was found that “Processes of identity” surfaced that included the lack of the sense of belonging, the presence of hidden vs. visible identities, and a racism and discrimination dimension. Childhood values were also strongly discussed in the narratives that suggested the manifestation of displacement, which included the value of education and the notion of hard work. The manifestation of displacement was also discussed in their discussion of “who am I at work?” which included how they express their identity at work, how displacement allows them to bring a more “humanizing the workplace” and how displacement is related to their sense of spirituality. The cohesive interplay of these overarching and subthemes suggest that displacement is strongly manifested and embodied in the identity construction of the individuals, which play a role in how they make sense of their work ethic and spirituality in the workplace. This thesis provides an in depth contextual exploration of the narratives of Palestinian Australians in relation to their identities, work ethic and spirituality that has not previously been studied.

The treatment involves a combination of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. The challenge is to choose a treatment with good cosmetic and functional results specially visual function and excellent survival.
The role of micronutrients in internalising symptoms
Creators: name: McCulloch, Clinton Morgan
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Recent research suggests that diet quality and mental health are associated. However, the relationship between specific nutritional aspects of diet, such as micronutrient intake, and mental health still remain relatively unconfirmed. This thesis first provides a critical review of theoretical and empirical literature that has examined the role of micronutrients in internalising disorders. Overall, there is epidemiological evidence of an association between specific micronutrient deficiencies, such as zinc and folate, and depressive symptoms. However, evidence from studies examining other micronutrients, such as vitamin C or magnesium, have been tentative. In particular, there is less available evidence supporting an association between micronutrients and anxiety symptoms. In order to further investigate these relationships, a cross-sectional study was performed examining micronutrient intakes and internalising symptoms in undergraduate university students. Results from the study are presented in light of recent epidemiological research and current theoretical models.

description: A robust sunlight-driven AgIO3/MIL-53 (Fe) nanohybrid composite (NC) was successfully synthesised and characterised. The efficacy of the NC was estimated by decomposing two organophosphates pesticides (methyl malathion (MP) and chlorpyrifos (CP)) under sunlight irradiation. The degradation of MP and CP was strongly influenced by pH, catalyst dose and initial pesticide concentration. Under 60 min solar light illumination, ∼78–90% CP and MP were degraded individually in tap and distilled water, respectively. In binary mixture (MP + CP), ∼70% mineralisation was achieved within 180 min. The efficiency of NC is attributed to the prolonged separation of photogenerated carriers, a large concentration of surface hydroxyl groups and high specific surface area. Under artificial neural network (ANN) predicted conditions, 0.5 g NC, pH 5 and 2.5 mL of 50 mg/L Na2S2O8 are required for complete mineralisation of the pesticides

description: Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) is one of the most common congenital abnormalities, with a varied incidence of between 1.2% and 30%. It is caused by an imperforate membrane at the Hasner’s valve (HV). Spontaneous resolution of the obstruction occurs within 12 months in 32% to 95% of cases. The treatment recommended by most ophthalmologists is lacrimal sac massage and, when necessary, topical antibiotics. Applying lacrimal sac massage adequately and effectively reduces the need for further interventions such as probing or silicone intubation. However, it can be difficult to restrain an infant in order to perform lacrimal sac massage. In our clinical practice, mothers always state that performing lacrimal sac massage is much easier while breastfeeding. In this study we compared the breastfeeding durations for patients with CNLDO who improved with only lacrimal sac massage with those for patients who required probing.

description: We investigate the fundamental limits in precision allowed by quantum mechanics from Landau-Zener transitions, concerning Hamiltonian parameters. While the Landau-Zener transition probabilities depend sensitively on the system parameters, much more precision may be obtained using the acquired phase, quantified by the quantum Fisher information. This information scales with a power of the elapsed time for the quantum case, whereas it is time-independent if the transition probabilities alone are used. We add coherent control to the system, and increase the permitted maximum precision in this time-dependent quantum system. The case of multiple passes before measurement, "Landau-Zener-Stueckelberg interferometry", is considered, and we demonstrate that proper quantum control can cause the quantum Fisher information about the oscillation frequency to scale as $T^4$, where $T$ is the elapsed time.

description: Listening tests are essential for optimising and evaluating novel signal processing concepts for hearing devices. When they are performed inside the laboratory they are highly controlled, but typically lack ecological validity. On the other hand, field-studies provide high ecological validity, but are difficult to control, time-consuming and costly. Even though field-studies may ultimately be required, there still is a necessity for more realistic laboratory-based listening tests. This thesis focuses on creating and validating realistic virtual sound environments (VSEs), primarily based on the method of higher-order Ambisonics (HOA), for testing hearing aids (HAs). Particular emphasis has been given on how the VSE limitations affect the output of multi-microphone directional HAs. To systematically and objectively analyse the errors incurred by such VSEs, we developed and verified a framework that consists of: (1) the simulation of a reverberant acoustic scene; (2) the coding of that scene using HOA; (3) the reconstruction of the VSE via a loudspeaker array; and (4) the evaluation of the SNR benefit and output pressure of directional HAs worn on an acoustic manikin placed inside the VSE. A listening experiment was additionally designed to test the simulation results. For that purpose, a real-room 'cocktail-party' acoustic scene was created and acoustically modelled. Ambisonics was then applied to reproduce that scene inside a loudspeaker array. Listening tests involving hearing-impaired subjects, fitted with directional HAs, were next conducted inside the real and the virtual sound environments. The intelligibility and acceptable-noise-level benefits of the directional HAs were thereby estimated. The above evaluation illustrated that most of the real-environment properties can be faithfully reconstructed by the considered VSEs. Moreover, directional HA algorithms were shown to behave and adapt in a similar way as in real environments. However, sound-field reconstruction deviations were noticeable. For the case of highly directional schemes, such as the considered bilateral beamformer, such deviations may result in a reduced benefit estimation. Hence, we can conclude that although the described VSEs illustrated a reduced sensitivity in demonstrating real-life benefits, they are nonetheless suitable for evaluating directional HA processing schemes.

description: New nanostructured insulating materials are investigated, within the European project GRIDABLE, to be used for DC cable and capacitors. Besides electrical, thermal and mechanical properties, and life behavior, work is being done to evaluate their capability to endure highly stressing conditions as those cause by the inception of partial discharges, PD. This paper, in particular, analyzes what happens during energization of a DC cable or capacitors, when voltage goes from zero to the nominal value in a few seconds, while the internal electrical field takes longer time to reach the DC steady state configuration. During an energization transient, indeed, electrical field in insulation, and insulation defects (as cavities), is driven by permittivity, not conductivity as in steady state. Hence, PD might occur with high repetition rate, which would not occur, or at much lower repetition rate, in steady state. The way to evaluate the time constant of the transient, that is, through charging current measurement, is described and successfully fitted to the results of PD measurements performed on two types of polypropylene, PP: neat and nanostructured, and a cross-linked polyethylene, XLPE, having significantly different electrical characteristics.

description: Monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenide materials emerged as a new material class to study excitonic effects in solid state, since they benefit from enormous coulomb correlations between electrons and holes. Especially in WSe2, sharp emission features have been observed at cryogenic temperatures, which act as single photon sources . Tight exciton localization has been assumed to induce an anharmonic excitation spectrum, however, the evidence of the hypothesis, namely the demonstration of a localized biexciton, is elusive. Here, we unambiguously demonstrate the existence of a localized biexciton in a monolayer of WSe2, which triggers an emission cascade of single photons. The biexciton is identified by its time-resolved photoluminescence, superlinearity and distinct polarization in micro-photoluminescence experiments. We evidence the cascaded nature of the emission process in a cross-correlation experiment, which yields a strong bunching behavior. Our work paves the way to a new generation of quantum optics experiments with two-dimensional semiconductors.

description: We consider the problem of decoding a discrete signal of categorical variables from the observation of several histograms of pooled subsets of it. We present an Approximate Message Passing (AMP) algorithm for recovering the signal in the random dense setting where each observed histogram involves a random subset of entries of size proportional to n. We characterize the performance of the algorithm in the asymptotic regime where the number of observations $m$ tends to infinity proportionally to n, by deriving the corresponding State Evolution (SE) equations and studying their dynamics. We initiate the analysis of the multi-dimensional SE dynamics by proving their convergence to a fixed point, along with some further properties of the iterates. The analysis reveals sharp phase transition phenomena where the behavior of AMP changes from exact recovery to weak correlation with the signal as m/n crosses a threshold. We derive formulae for the threshold in some special cases and show that they accurately match experimental behavior.

description: In the marine environment elevated electrical conductivities may be caused by sulfide mineralizations within the seafloor as well as hot saline pore fluids. Such conductive targets may be studied with suitable electromagnetic systems like the novel coil-system MARTEMIS1, which we previously used to investigate a known zone of sediment covered mineralization at the Palinuro Seamount (cruises POS483 \& POS509) and in the vicinity of the TAG hydrothermal mound at the Mid Atlantic Ridge (cruise JC138). Both the Palinuro site as well as the sites in the vicinity of the TAG hydrothermal mound (Shinkai, Double Mound, MIR) are hydrothermally inactive and, thus, allowed to study, how the responses of an inductive EM system is influenced and shaped by mineralizations within the seafloor without having to consider the effect of of heated pore fluids. In the interpretation of the collected data at these inactive sites we learned that the MARTEMIS system is able to detect conductivity anomalies in the vicinity of mineralizations. (...)
Establishing robust chronologies for models of modern human dispersal in Southeast Asia: implications for arrival and occupation in Sunda and Sahul

description: Models that reconstruct modern human dispersal across the great arc from Africa to Australia require solid chronologies from key sites in Southeast Asia. Sunda, the continental landmass that connects Asia to Southeast Asia and Australasia, contains important evidence to constrain both arrival and occupation of humans en route to Australia. This evidence, however, is rarely associated with robust chronologies due to an absence of stratigraphic consistency, low precision, reproducibility or accuracy. In this research, optimally stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating techniques were applied to three archaeological sites in Southeast Asia that encompass both arrival and occupation: Tam Pa Ling and Nam Lot in northern Laos and Tham Lod rockshelter in north-western Thailand. This application provided solid independent age estimates to confirm the integrity of the sequences. The timing of modern human arrival at Tam Pa Ling was identified as > 46 ka and arrival at Nam Lot after 50 ± 5 ka and before 46 ± 4 ka. Modern human occupation of Tham Lod was identified as occurring after 21 ± 4 ka and before 16 ± 2 ka. These robust chronologies have added evidence to understanding modern human arrival and occupation in Sunda. Furthermore these chronologies enable parallels to be drawn between the timing and archaeology of Late Pleistocene occupation in Sunda and Sahul. These similarities provide evidence to assess whether the Sunda occupants were the ancestors to the first Indigenous Australians.
