description: Metallo-supramolecular self-assembly has yielded a plethora of discrete nanosystems, many of which show competence in capturing guests and catalyzing chemical reactions. However, the potential of low-molecular bottom-up self-assemblies in the development of structured inorganic materials has rarely been methodically explored so far. Herein, we present a new type of metallo-supramolecular surfactant with the ability to stabilize non-aqueous emulsions for a significant period. The molecular design of the surfactant is based on a heteroleptic coordination cage (CGA-3; CGA=Cage-based Gemini Amphiphile), assembled from two pairs of organic building blocks, grouped around two Pd(II) cations. Shape-complementarity between the differently functionalized components generates discrete amphiphiles with a tailor-made polarity profile, able to stabilize non-aqueous emulsions, such as hexadecane-in-DMSO. These emulsions were used as a medium for the synthesis of spherical metal oxide microcapsules (titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, and niobium oxide) from soluble, water-sensitive alkoxide precursors by allowing a controlled dosage of water to the liquid-liquid phase boundary. Synthesized materials were analyzed by a combination of electron microscopic techniques. In situ liquid cell transmission electron microscopy (LC-TEM) was utilized for the first time to visualize the dynamics of the emulsion-templated formation of hollow inorganic titanium oxide and zirconium oxide microspheres.

description: Tanto las teorías civilizatorias del siglo XIX como las modernizadoras del siglo XX nos dejaron mal equipados para entender la situación de los indígenas y afrodescendientes en las ciudades latinoamericanas o en la mayoría de ellas. En líneas generales, la ideología ciudadanizadora de los estados-nación modernos tendió a predicar la disolución inevitable de otras pertenencias, al ritmo de incrementos en las interacciones, los desplazamientos, la racionalización weberiana de la convivencia, la industrialización y la urbanización. Esta profecía se mostró tan inoperante como la que auguraba que esas ciudadanizaciones remediarían desigualdades e injusticias distributivas con base exclusiva en consideraciones meritocráticas, como efecto de la constitución de sujetos destilados de toda estigmatización, discriminación y violencias materiales y simbólicas.

description: We revisit the topic of common lines between projection images in single particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). We derive a novel low-rank constraint on a certain $2n \times n$ matrix storing properly-scaled basis vectors for the common lines between $n$ projection images of one molecular conformation. Using this algebraic constraint and others, we give optimization algorithms to denoise common lines and recover the unknown 3D rotations associated to the images. As an application, we develop a clustering algorithm to partition a set of noisy images into homogeneous communities using common lines, in the case of discrete heterogeneity in cryo-EM. We demonstrate the methods on synthetic and experimental datasets.
title: Structural Investigations of solvated Spin Crossover Complexes and Co-crystals
Creators: name: Jackson, Lewis
Publisher: name: University of Kent

description: Spin Crossover materials show promising properties as multifunctional materials with potential uses in electronics and sensors, for example. Ideally, the spin crossover needs to be tuned for a desired purpose. Co-crystallisation and solvation of spin crossover materials show promise in the ability to tune the thermal behaviour of these system’s spin transition. In previous work, co-crystallisation of [Fe(3-bpp)2] 2+ (where 3-bpp is 2,6-bis(pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine) with a range of dipyridyl based coformers proved to be successful in the formation of an array different supramolecular structures and this work aims to determine if this success can be repeated with three other spin crossover complexes. This work reports the mechanochemical synthesis of three complexes: [Fe(pbi)3][BF4]2, [Fe(bpbi)2][BF4]2 and [Fe(himpy)3][BF4]2. A series of solvated crystal structures of [Fe(pbi)3][BF4]2 are presented with the associated thermally induced spin crossover properties investigated through single-crystal X-ray diffraction and reflectivity experiments. All of the solvates undergo spin crossover below 320 K. Three co-crystal solvates are reported: [Fe(pbi)3][BF4]2 and 4’4,-azopyridine, [Fe(bpbi)2][BF4]2 and acridine, [Fe(bpbi)2][BF4]2 and 4’4,-trimethylenepyridine. Each crystal structure is accompanied by a structural investigation. The difficulties faced with co-crystallisation of these three complexes is discussed with respect to co-crystallisations of Fe(3-bpp)2.

description: Abstract

The number of elderly people has been increasing consistently, leading to a rise in the new number of entrepreneurs who cater the needs of the elderly. Elderly people who are dependent on others for their care often face a shortage of geriatric medical personnel particularly caregivers, due to an increase in the number of elderly individuals and a shortage of qualified medical professionals. Consequently, the competitive advantage of elderly care business plays a crucial role in their growth and return on investment. This research aims to 1) examine the level of exploitation of knowledge sharing, innovation culture, SME operating strategy, and sustainable competitive advantage of the elderly care business in Thailand, 2) explore the influence of exploitation of knowledge sharing, innovation culture and SMEs operating strategy towards sustainable competitive advantage of the elderly care business in Thailand, and 3) develop the model of sustainable competitive advantage of the elderly care business in Thailand. The study employed a mixed research methodology that combined quantitative and qualitative approaches. For the quantitative aspect, the sample group 240 entrepreneurs involved in elderly care businesses Thailand. The sample size was calculated based on 20-time criteria of the observed variables through the multi-stage sampling. Data was collected using questionnaires and analyzed using structural equation modeling. For the qualitative aspect 20 primary informants, who were elderly care business entrepreneurs and experts in Thailand. Were interviewed in-depth to gather information. The findings revealed that 1) exploitation of knowledge sharing, innovation culture, SMEs operating strategy, and sustainable competitive advantage of the elderly care business in Thailand were all at a high level, ; 2) exploitation of knowledge sharing, innovation culture, and  SMEs operating strategy affected sustainable competitive advantage of the elderly care business in Thailand at a statistical significance level of     .05, ; and 3) the model of sustainable competitive advantage of the elderly care business in Thailand as developed by the researcher was called IPO Model for Sustainable Competitive Advantage of Elderly Care Business in Thailand.  Furthermore, the qualitative findings suggest that for an elderly care business to be successful in Thailand, entrepreneurs must prioritize quality, standards, and security. These research can serve as a blueprint for defining business policy that promote sustainable competitive advantage for the elderly care industry in Thailand.

description: Self-assembly of nanoparticles can enable composites with pre-designed properties but remains challenged by reproducing structural diversity of atomic and molecular crystals. We combine anisotropic elastic and weakly screened electrostatic interactions to guide both orientational and triclinic positional self-ordering of inorganic nanocrystals in a nematic fluid host. The lattice periodicity of these low-symmetry colloidal crystals is more than an order of magnitude larger than the nanoparticle size. Orientations of nanocrystals, as well as crystallographic axes of ensuing triclinic colloidal crystals, are coupled to the uniform alignment direction of the nematic host, which can be readily controlled on large scales. We probe colloidal pair and many-body interactions and demonstrate how triclinic crystals with orientational ordering of the semiconductor nanorods emerge from competing long-range elastic and electrostatic forces.

A lost history of Christian communities: unidentified Greek homilies on papyrus in Egypt during the 4th-7th centuries CE

description: Unidentified homilies on papyrus provide information concerning the use and users of the manuscripts, and indicate the theology taught during the early years of Christianity. This thesis aims to investigate homilies of unknown authorship dating to the 4th–7th Centuries CE, written in Greek and found in Egypt, a corpus which has not previously been collected or discussed in full. This investigation has two main emphases: 1. An examination of the papyri as physical objects, concentrating in particular on what this may tell us about their production and use; 2. An analysis of the content of the papyri and its relation to religion, literary culture, and scribal practice in late antique Egypt. The multitude of various lectional aids including stops, colons, dieresis and breathings indicate that the papyri were used for reading aloud. Baptism and evil were the two most common themes throughout the corpus, which indicates that these were concerns for the composers and preachers during this period. These themes were revealed through a close analysis of the citations which indicates that the focus of the homilies ranged from exegetical to instructional and pastoral.

We have previously demonstrated a set of single-layer coatings, which achieve >50% quantum efficiency (QE) in four bands from 130 to 300 nm. We now present multilayer coating designs that significantly outperform our previous work between 195 and 215 nm. Using up to 11 layers, we present several model designs to reach QE above 80%. We also demonstrate the successful performance of 5 and 11 layer ARCs on silicon and fused silica substrates. Finally, we present a five-layer coat- ing deposited onto a thinned, delta-doped CCD and demonstrate external QE greater than 60% between 202 and 208 nm, with a peak of 67.6% at 206 nm.

description: Australia has lagged behind in constructing a workable lower Cambrian regional biostratigraphic scheme. However, recent work utilising both bio- and chemostratigraphic data has produced a robust chronostratigraphic scheme for the Arrowie Basin in South Australia. This multi-proxy approach provides independent datasets that facilitate refined chronostratigraphic correlation of Australian lower Cambrian rock packages with the global Cambrian timescale. The Kulparina rostrata Zone in the Arrowie Basin closely aligns with a significant negative δ13C (carbon-13/12 isotope ratio) excursion, the ‘SHICE’. A key prediction of this correlation was that older successions in the neighbouring Stansbury Basin should contain a significant positive δ13C isotope excursion, the ‘ZHUCE’. This study, using similar multi-proxy data for the eastern Stansbury Basin, tested the validity of this prediction. The topmost 83 m of the ‘WANG’ section was confidently correlated with the Kulparina rostrata Zone based on co-occurring, diagnostic fossil assemblages. The chemostratigraphic results closely match the global chemostratigraphic curve. The ‘SHICE’ negative excursion occurs within the upper Sellick Hill Formation. Significantly, a large positive δ13C excursion (max +5.70‰) was discovered in the lower Sellick Hill Formation; interpreted to represent the global ‘ZHUCE’ positive δ13C event which is identified from Australia for the first time, confirming previous chronostratigraphic predictions.

description: We investigate the potential of inclusive-jet production in deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) at a future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) to improve our current knowledge of nuclear parton density functions (PDFs). We demonstrate that the kinematic reach is extended similarly to inclusive DIS, but that the uncertainty of the nuclear PDFs, in particular of the gluon density at low Bjorken-x, is considerably reduced, by up to an order of magnitude compared to the present situation. Using an approximate next-to-next-to-leading order (aNNLO) calculation implemented in the program JetViP, we also make predictions for three different EIC designs and for four different light and heavy nuclei.

description: The leading order hadronic contribution to the muon magnetic moment anomaly, $a^{HAD}_μ$, is determined entirely in the framework of QCD. The result in the light-quark sector, in units of $10^{-10}$, is $a^{HAD}_μ|_{uds} =686 \pm 26$, and in the heavy-quark sector $a^{HAD}_μ|_{c} =14.4 \pm 0.1$, and $a^{HAD}_μ|_{b} =0.29 \pm 0.01$, resulting in $a^{HAD}_μ= 701 \pm 26$. The main uncertainty is due to the current lattice QCD value of the first and second derivative of the electromagnetic current correlator at the origin. Expected improvement in the precision of these derivatives may render this approach the most accurate and trustworthy determination of the leading order $a^{HAD}_μ$.

The use of genetically modified mouse models for investigations of mechanisms of arterial stiffness
Creators: name: Viegas, Kayla Dawn
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Arterial stiffness is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. With age, the large arteries become stiffer, leading to hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, end organ damage, and cardiovascular disease. However, the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms leading to increased arterial stiffness remain largely unknown. The scope of the work presented in this thesis encompasses the use of genetically modified mouse models to explore potential mechanisms of vascular stiffness. A novel, high-fidelity technique of estimating aortic stiffness by pulse wave velocity (PWV) in the mouse was developed and used to characterise the pressure-dependency of PWV in the mouse aorta. Transglutaminase 2 (TG2) is a multifunctional enzyme which was hypothesized to play a role in arterial stiffness due to its ability to crosslink various structural proteins in the extracellular matrix. Pressure-dependent PWV, vascular reactivity, aortic geometry and calcification, and cardiac function were investigated in TG2-/- and wild type (WT) mice. Findings suggest that TG2 plays a role in arterial stiffness at high blood pressures and left ventricular hypertrophy. The apolipoprotein E knockout (apoE-/-) mouse is a widely used model of human atherosclerosis. In vivo PWV measurements demonstrated increased stiffness in apoE-/- mice compared to control as early as 12 weeks of age. Endothelial dysfunction through an impaired relaxation response to acetylcholine was also observed. A study of the effects of early aging on vascular stiffness in the mouse was also performed. Between the ages of 12 and 36 weeks a significant increase in aortic stiffness was observed in WT mice. A slight but insignificant increase in PWV was observed in the apoE-/- mouse suggesting that the rate of change of PWV is strain dependent. The nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, L-NAME, was used to induce both increased TG2 activity and endothelial dysfunction, with the hypothesis that this would increase arterial stiffness. In TG2-/- mice and WT control, no differences in cardiovascular function were observed after L-NAME treatment. However, in 12 week old apoE-/- mice, L-NAME administration reduced PWV, suggesting the presence of compensatory mechanisms that account for the lack of nitric oxide bioavailability. This thesis provides new insights into potential mechanisms of increased vascular stiffness. More importantly, it highlights the utility of the genetically modified mouse as a tool for interrogating novel pathways to arterial stiffness, and a new method with which to do so. Use of this technique could lead to the identification of novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of vascular stiffness.

description: A problemática da inserção dos jovens no mercado de trabalho tem sido estudada por vários autores, realçando as dificuldades que estes enfrentam e as trajectórias pouco lineares com que são confrontados as quais tendem a ser marcadas pela precariedade os que os impede de assumir de forma efectiva a sua condição de adultos. Num mercado de trabalho cada vez mais competitivo e onde o desemprego tem vindo aumentar, os jovens surgem como uma das primeiras vítimas de um mercado de trabalho cada vez mais volátil em que a precariedade das relações de trabalho parece ser o seu principal elemento estruturante. É com base nesta problemática que enunciamos o objectivo geral desta comunicação a saber: caracterizar as trajectórias de inserção no mercado de trabalho dos jovens que concluem o ensino secundário ou não o concluindo decidem integrar-se no mercado de trabalho. Para a concretização deste objectivo procedemos a um estudo qualitativo de natureza exploratória em que, recorrendo à entrevista semiestruturada a 8 jovens residentes no Concelho do Montijo, procuramos compreender os factores que influenciam a sua inserção profissional bem como as perspectivas que têm face ao seu futuro profissional. Os resultados obtidos permitiram-nos identificar como maiores dificuldades na transição para o mercado de trabalho os seguintes factores: a precariedade, as baixas remunerações, a falta de experiência profissional entre outros factores. O estudo mostra-nos ainda que, apesar de optimistas quanto ao futuro, os jovens entrevistados percepcionam o mercado de trabalho actual como precário e instável.

description: The toric code based on Majorana fermions on mesoscopic superconducting islands is a promising candidate for quantum information processing. In the limit of vanishing Cooper-pair tunneling, it has been argued that the phase transition separating the topologically ordered phase of the toric code from the trivial one is in the universality class of (2+1)D-XY. On the other hand, in the limit of infinitely large Cooper-pair tunneling, the phase transition is in the universality class of (2+1)D-Ising. In this work, we treat the case of finite Cooper-pair tunneling and address the question of how the continuous XY symmetry breaking phase transition turns into a discrete $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry breaking one when the Cooper-pair tunneling rate is increased. We show that this happens through a couple of tricritical points and first order phase transitions. Using a Jordan-Wigner transformation, we map the problem to that of spins coupled to quantum rotors and subsequently, propose a Landau field theory for this model that matches the known results in the respective limits. We calculate the effective field theories and provide the relevant critical exponents for the different phase transitions. Our results are relevant for predicting the stability of the topological phase in realistic experimental implementations.

Num segundo momento procedemos a (iii) um inquérito junto de profissionais de RH com experiência em recrutamento e seleção, de forma a obter as suas perceções relativamente à importância das competências do modelo da SHRM, assim como a sua perceção quanto ao reconhecimento dessas competências nos graduados de GRH. Os resultados permitiram, de um modo geral, verificar a existência de alinhamento entre as competências que os graduados em GRH revelam possuir, as competências que a Academia refere promover e desenvolver, as competências que os recrutadores procuram e o modelo de competênccias da SHRM. Este estudo deixa em aberto questões pertinentes sobre competências profissionais de GRH para investigação futura.

description: A implementação de horários de trabalho diferentes do horário de trabalho considerado “normal” (designado comummente como horário das “9 às 5”) é uma prática frequente em diversos sectores de actividade no sentido de responder a imperativos de ordem social, tecnológica e/ou económica. Dado que o horário de trabalho estrutura não só o tempo dedicado ao trabalho, mas em larga medida, também os restantes “tempos” da vida dos indivíduos (tempo com a família e/ou amigos, actividades de lazer, actividades comunitárias, etc.), a gestão dos aspectos temporais do trabalho (ex., definição das escalas, alocação e retenção dos/as trabalhadores/as em função dos diferentes horários/turnos) constitui, provavelmente, um dos maiores desafios no domínio da gestão de recursos humanos. O presente trabalho, ancorando-se em investigações anteriores sobre a gestão de horários de trabalho “atípicos” (ou seja, diferentes do horário de trabalho considerado normal ou convencional), em especial, horários de trabalho por turnos, propõe-se contribuir para a reflexão sobre o modo como os aspectos temporais do trabalho podem ser perspectivados à luz das práticas de recursos humanos que as organizações podem adoptar na sua gestão. Esta reflexão e respetivas implicações para a intervenção, é feita a partir de alguns dos resultados obtidos em diversos estudos empíricos realizados pela equipa de investigação, sobretudo no sector industrial. De um modo geral, em cada estudo, procurou-se compreender o modo como era levada a cabo a gestão dos horários de trabalho e/ou o impacto de tais horários em dimensões individuais, familiares/sociais ou organizacionais. Além da apresentação das principais consequências associadas aos horários de trabalho “atípicos”, em especial, ao regime de trabalho por turnos, será dado particular destaque na reflexão sobre o papel que o contexto organizacional poderá desempenhar no processo de adaptação a tais modalidades horárias, especialmente do ponto de vista das práticas de gestão dos recursos alocadas à gestão dos aspectos temporais do trabalho.

description: Este estudo tem como objetivo central compreender as mudanças na função recursos humanos após a certificação do sistema de gestão de recursos humanos de uma empresa no âmbito da Norma Portuguesa 4427:2004 – “Sistemas de gestão de recursos humanos – requisitos”. Foi utilizada a metodologia qualitativa, com recurso ao estudo de caso único numa empresa portuguesa certificada no âmbito da NP 4427:2004. O processo de recolha de dados incidiu na análise documental e na realização de entrevistas a todos os colaboradores com data de vínculo à empresa anterior à data de obtenção desta certificação. Os resultados sugerem terem ocorrido mudanças na atuação da gestão de recursos humanos da empresa, concretamente o desenvolvimento de uma dimensão mais estratégica através de práticas de recursos humanos sistematizadas e focalizadas no desenvolvimento das pessoas. Este estudo também mostrou que o conhecimento do âmbito de intervenção da função recursos humanos é diferentemente conhecido e valorizado pelos representantes da gestão organizacional e os restantes colaboradores.

description: Nos atuais contextos socioeconómicos, as mudanças organizacionais assentam essencialmente sobre dois eixos: mudanças ao nível da produção de bens ou serviços e/ou mudanças tecnológica-estruturais (Caetano e Tavares, 2000). A modernização tecnológica e a adoção de novos modelos de organização do trabalho, particularmente a difusão do trabalho em equipa, têm sido os fatores mais evidenciados nos processos de mudança organizacional. Contudo, também se tem evidenciado diversas formas de introdução e/ou adoção dessas mesmas tecnologias e/ou modelos de organização do trabalho (Marques, 2010; Kovács, 1998). Salientando-se a dificuldade que as organizações têm em adotar as tecnologias de forma sistémica e/ou integrada, bem como os diferentes modos como concebem o trabalho em equipa, desde um trabalho em reciprocidade, interdependência ao simples somatório do trabalho individual (Mitchell e Larson, 1987) em introduzir de forma sistémica as tecnologias. Recorrendo-se à análise das diferentes abordagens sobre a mudança organizacional e a modernização tecnológica e a estudos empíricos sobre os modelos de organização do trabalho em empresas ligadas a setores de elevada intensidade tecnológica, na presente comunicação pretendeu-se analisar os diferentes tipos de adoção das novas tecnologias e, em particular, do trabalho em equipa. Do ponto de vista metodológico, recorreu-se à metodologia multi-caso, tendo sido analisadas empresas ligadas a setores de elevada intensidade tecnológica. Os instrumentos de recolha de informação foram as entrevistas, a observação direta e o inquérito por questionário aos trabalhadores. Os resultados revelaram que o trabalho em equipa foi adotado pela maioria das empresas, mas seguindo diferentes formas (com e sem supervisão). Não obstante isso, o trabalho em equipa parece potenciar uma perceção mais elevada de acesso á informação do que o trabalho mais individualizado.

description: B. breve termination of transcription. Artemis plot showing the different strategies of transcriptional termination of convergently expressed genes (dashed purple line) in B. breve: a) Double-stranded rho-independent termination observed between two convergently expressed genes employing a bidirectional terminator. In this case a clear-cut transcriptional termination is observed in either forward and reverse strands. b) Single stranded rho-independent termination observed between two convergently transcribed genes employing a strand specific terminator. In this case transcriptional termination is only observed in the forward strand. c) Tail-to-tail termination observed between two convergently transcribed genes without a termination signal. In this case no specific point of transcriptional termination can be observed. (PDF 474Â kb)

description: We study the constraints on neutralino dark matter in minimal low energy supersymmetry models and the case of heavy lepton and quark scalar superpartners. For values of the Higgsino and gaugino mass parameters of the order of the weak scale, direct detection experiments are already putting strong bounds on models in which the dominant interactions between the dark matter candidates and nuclei are governed by Higgs boson exchange processes, particularly for positive values of the Higgsino mass parameter mu. For negative values of mu, there can be destructive interference between the amplitudes associated with the exchange of the standard CP-even Higgs boson and the exchange of the non-standard one. This leads to specific regions of parameter space which are consistent with the current experimental constraints and a thermal origin of the observed relic density. In this article we study the current experimental constraints on these scenarios, as well as the future experimental probes, using a combination of direct and indirect dark matter detection and heavy Higgs and electroweakino searches at hadron colliders.
