Development of Separation and Mass Spectrometry Strategies for Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products
Creators: name: GISELLE MAE PACOT
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: 30199 Analytical Chemistry not elsewhere classified
subject: FOS: Chemical sciences

description: Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) have emerged as a group of contaminants that are found in many environmental matrices. These compounds enter the waterways mainly through the effluent of wastewater treatment plants. This project was part of the inaugural Chemicals and Plastics Manufacturing Innovation Network and Training Program. Focused on the development of separation and mass spectrometry strategies for PPCPs, the PhD researcher worked with an industry partner. This project investigated some of the applications of the industry partner’s products for trace environmental analysis of PPCPs.

description: We study flux compactifications of 10d type II supergravities to 4d Minkowski space-time, supported by parallel orientifold Op-planes with 3 $\leq$ p $\leq$ 8. With some restrictions, the 4d Ricci scalar can be written as a negative sum of squares involving BPS-like conditions. Setting all squares to zero provides automatically a solution to 10d equations of motion. This way, we characterize a broad class, if not the complete set, of Minkowski flux vacua. We also conjecture an extension to include non-geometric fluxes. None of our results rely on supersymmetry.

description: The recent work ``Combinatorial Optimization with Physics-Inspired Graph Neural Networks'' [Nat Mach Intell 4 (2022) 367] introduces a physics-inspired unsupervised Graph Neural Network (GNN) to solve combinatorial optimization problems on sparse graphs. To test the performances of these GNNs, the authors of the work show numerical results for two fundamental problems: maximum cut and maximum independent set (MIS). They conclude that "the graph neural network optimizer performs on par or outperforms existing solvers, with the ability to scale beyond the state of the art to problems with millions of variables." In this comment, we show that a simple greedy algorithm, running in almost linear time, can find solutions for the MIS problem of much better quality than the GNN. The greedy algorithm is faster by a factor of $10^4$ with respect to the GNN for problems with a million variables. We do not see any good reason for solving the MIS with these GNN, as well as for using a sledgehammer to crack nuts. In general, many claims of superiority of neural networks in solving combinatorial problems are at risk of being not solid enough, since we lack standard benchmarks based on really hard problems. We propose one of such hard benchmarks, and we hope to see future neural network optimizers tested on these problems before any claim of superiority is made.

description: We propose a new mechanism to generate a lepton asymmetry based on the vacuum CP-violating phase transition (CPPT). This approach differs from classical thermal leptogenesis as a specific seesaw model, and its UV completion, need not be specified. The lepton asymmetry is generated via the dynamically realised coupling of the Weinberg operator during the phase transition. This mechanism provides a connection with low-energy neutrino observables.

Role of RecA in Enterococcus faecalis
Creators: name: LIANNIE CHUA
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Microbiology
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: This thesis is a study on the role of recA gene in a bacteria named Enterococcus faecalis. It identifies the role of recA gene in protecting the bacteria from harsh environment such as oxidative stress and antibiotic treatment. In order to study the role of recA gene, the gene is inactivated and forms the recA mutant strain. The survival of this mutant strain is compared to the normal strain of E. faecalis when exposed to different types of oxidants and antibiotics. It shows that the recA gene is important for the survival of the bacteria and for causing infection.

Diversity and Genetic Differentiation of Senegalese Populations of Caryedon serratus (Olivier, 1790) Between 1998 and 2022
Creators: name: Serigne Diouf
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Groundnuts are an important food resource in Senegal, but post-harvest losses of this product are considerable and represent a major economic constraint for our country. Most often, these losses are due to beetles (pests) and among these, the one that causes the most damage to the stocks belongs to the Chrysomelidae family : Caryedon serratus (Olivier, 1790), commonly known as groundnut seed-beetle. Faced with these losses, it is becoming urgent to look for new methods of control. The objective of this research is therefore to study the diversity. The objective of this research is therefore to study the diversity and genetic differentiation of Senegalese populations of C. serratus associated with groundnuts (Arachis hypogaea) and wild host plants (Piliostigma reticulatum, Tamarindus indica, Bauhinia rufescens et Cassia sieberiana) between 1998 and 2022. For this, the Cytochrome B (Cyt-B) gene of different strains of C. serratus was sequenced. The results obtained reflect a high level of genetic diversity of C. serratus populations. A statistically significant genetic differentiation is also noted, thus a clear difference in genetic structuring at the intra- and inter-population levels. The AMOVA inferences show that most of the genetic variation observed on Cyt-B sequences is significantly explained by intra-population genetic differentiation. 

Keywords: Caryedon serratus, groundnut, wild host plants, diversity, genetic differentiation, Senegal groundnut basin, Cytochrome B.

description: The steelmaking industry generates several by-products during the different stages of steel production. As a by-product, vanadium slag account for more than 60% of the world’s overall production. However, it is tough to find vanadium in its pure state as it occurs in combination with various minerals. Using secondary resources for refractory castables solves the issue of natural raw materials, reduces costs related to their extraction and processing, and is friendly to the environment.
Warped $AdS_6\times S^2$ in Type IIB supergravity I: Local solutions

description: We investigate the existence of solutions with 16 residual supersymmetries to Type IIB supergravity on a space-time of the form $AdS_6 \times S^2$ warped over a two-dimensional Riemann surface $Σ$. The $SO(2,5) \times SO(3)$ isometry extends to invariance under the exceptional Lie superalgebra $F(4)$. In the present paper, we construct the general Ansatz compatible with these symmetries, derive the corresponding reduced BPS equations, and obtain their complete local solution in terms of two locally holomorphic functions ${\cal A}_\pm$ on $Σ$, subject to certain positivity and regularity conditions. Globally, $({\cal A}_+, {\cal A}_-)$ are allowed to be multiple-valued on $Σ$ and be holomorphic sections of a holomorphic bundle over $Σ$ with structure group contained in $SU(1,1) \times { C}$. Globally regular solutions are expected to provide the near-horizon geometry of $(p,q)$ 5-brane and 7-brane webs which are holographic duals to five-dimensional conformal field theories. A preliminary analysis of the positivity and regularity conditions will be presented here, leaving the construction of globally regular solutions to a subsequent paper.

description: Disordered systems are characterized by the existence of many sample- dependent local energy minima, that cause a stepwise response when the system is perturbed. In this article we use an approach based on elementary probabilistic methods to compute the complete probability distribution of the jumps (static avalanches) in the response of mean-field systems described by replica symmetry breaking; we find a precise condition for having a power-law behavior in the distribution of avalanches caused by small perturbations, and we show that our predictions are in remarkable agreement both with previous results and with what is found in simulations of three dimensional systems of soft-spheres, either at jamming or at slightly higher densities.

description: This thesis examines the effects of synthetic enzyme inhibitors on a human leukemic T cell line. These inhibitors kill the cells by inducing programmed cell death at low concentrations and necrosis at higher concentrations. At non-toxic concentrations, the inhibitors stop the cells from proliferating and block cell cycle progression by preventing the cells from leaving and entering the cell cycle. All these effects are caused by oxidative stress via the production of reactive oxygen species. By understanding how these inhibitors affect these leukemic T cells may provide insights in developing more specific anticancer drugs.

description: Fossil fuels have been playing a central role in satisfying the global energy demands of humanity for many years. However, depletion of these natural resources and the environmental damage resulting from their use necessitate urgent development of and transition to the sustainable renewable energy sources. Achievement of this goal in the 21st century will ensure prosperous and safe future for humanity and the planet. This dissertation presents research work towards the development of new high-performance and less expensive electromaterials based on earth-abundant transition metals with the global aim of advancing the existing energy storage, and most importantly, energy conversion technologies.

description: Long coherence times, large anharmonicity and robust charge-noise insensitivity render fluxonium qubits an interesting alternative to transmons. Recent experiments have demonstrated record coherence times for low-frequency fluxonia. Here, we propose a galvanic-coupling scheme with flux-tunable $\textit{XX}$ coupling. To implement a high-fidelity entangling $\sqrt{i\mathrm{SWAP}}$ gate, we modulate the strength of this coupling and devise variable-time identity gates to synchronize required single-qubit operations. Both types of gates are implemented using strong ac flux drives, lasting for only a few drive periods. We employ a theoretical framework capable of capturing qubit dynamics beyond the rotating-wave approximation (RWA) as required for such strong drives. We predict an open-system fidelity of $F>0.999$ for the $\sqrt{i\mathrm{SWAP}}$ gate under realistic conditions.

description: A research thesis focusing on self-regulatory driving and riding practices of older car drivers and motorcycle riders from a Malaysian context, an area previously unexplored. It is evident that mobility change is not only viewed as a physical event, but as a multidimensional process that involves behavioural, psychological, and social well-being of older Malaysian adults. As such, it is imperative to customise support systems, including social, infrastructure, and legal support, to cater for specific age groups and road users, particularly in a developing country like Malaysia, where mixed travel modes are common, and motorcycles are largely involved in traffic collisions.

description: This tool was developed as a part of PANDEM-2 project (EU Horizon project "Pandemic Preparedness and Response") in 2023. The tool is specifically targeted to National Public Health Institutes and may also be applied to Public Health agencies at the subnational level. The tool consists of two sets of indicators: 1) Quantitative indicators meant for the assessment of the capacity of workforce (in full-time equivalents, FTE) that is available for Public Health Emergency Preparedness (A) under normal circumstances, and (B) the surge capacity available during a PHE situation. 2) Qualitative indicators meant for the assessment of the competencies, i.e. functions relevant for PHEP that the staff is together able to perform. The performance in these indicators is first assessed through a 7-point scale. Thereafter, the users will be able to rate the ways in which the performance may be improved (1. training the current PHEP staff performing the function, 2. training other staff from the organisation to perform the function and 3. recruiting new staff). The qualitative indicators in the tool are based on the ECDC competency framework Public health emergency preparedness: Core competencies for EU Member States (2017)*. Additionally, indicators have been derived from other resources to category 6 (cross-cutting competencies**) and 5.5 (Infodemiology and infodemic management***). * Available at: https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/publications-data/public-health-emergency-preparedness-core-competencies-eu-member-states ** Council on Linkages Between Academia and Public Health Practice, 2021: Core Competencies for Public Health Professionals.

description: We provide a topological duality resolution for the spectrum $E_2^{h\mathbb{S}_2^1}$, which itself can be used to build the $K(2)$-local sphere. The resolution is built from spectra of the form $E_2^{hF}$ where $E_2$ is the Morava spectrum for the formal group of a supersingular curve at the prime $2$ and $F$ is a finite subgroup of the automorphisms of that formal group. The results are in complete analogy with the resolutions of Goerss, Henn, Mahowald, and Rezk at the prime $3$, but the methods are of necessity very different. As in the prime $3$ case, the main difficulty is in identifying the top fiber; to do this, we make calculations using Henn's centralizer resolution.

description: Great progress has been achieved in the community of autonomous driving in the past few years. As a safety-critical problem, however, anomaly detection is a huge hurdle towards a large-scale deployment of autonomous vehicles in the real world. While many approaches, such as uncertainty estimation or segmentation-based image resynthesis, are extremely promising, there is more to be explored. Especially inspired by works on anomaly detection based on image resynthesis, we propose a novel approach for anomaly detection through style transfer. We leverage generative models to map an image from its original style domain of road traffic to an arbitrary one and back to generate pixelwise anomaly scores. However, our experiments have proven our hypothesis wrong, and we were unable to produce significant results. Nevertheless, we want to share our findings, so that others can learn from our experiments.

Effects of variation across mitochondrial genomes, the X chromosome, and Wolbachia endosymbiont: evolutionary implications of asymmetric inheritance for the two sexes
Creators: name: Vaught, Rebecca
Publisher: name: Monash University

Subjects: subject: Evolutionary Biology

description: Certain genetic regions exhibit sexually asymmetric patterns of inheritance. This thesis explores the impact of the asymmetrically inherited cytoplasmic genes, such as the mitochondrial genome, the Wolbachia endosymbiont, and the X chromosome on key traits for the two sexes. This work aims to elucidate whether the evolution of genetic variation present for these key regions may underpin the sex differences commonly observed in the expression of life-history traits. The findings from this work indicate an important role of the X chromosome, cytoplasmic genes and their epistatic interactions in determining key traits and in some cases, sex-differences in fertility and lifespan.

description: Low Earth orbit radiometers allow monitoring nighttime anthropogenic light emissions in wide areas of the planet. In this work we describe a simple model for assessing significant outdoor lighting changes at the municipality level using on-orbit measurements complemented with ground-truth information. We apply it to evaluate the transformation effected in the municipality of Ribeira (42° 33 23 N, 8° 59 32 W) in Galicia, which in 2015 reduced the amount of installed lumen in its publicly-owned outdoor lighting system from 93.2 to 28.7 Mlm. This significant cutback, with the help of additional controls, allowed to reduce from 0.768 to 0.208 Mlm/km2 the lumen emission density averaged across the territory. In combination with the VIIRS-DNB annual composite readings these data allow to estimate that the relative weight of the emissions of the public streetlight system with respect to the total emissions of light in the municipality changed from an initial value of 74.86% to 44.68% after the transformation. The effects of the sources spectral shift and the photon calibration factor on the radiance reported by the VIIRS-DNB are also evaluated.

description: Sorghum produces dhurrin, a toxic cyanogenic compound, known to act in defense against herbivores but that may also be involved in plant growth and development, and in mitigating oxidative stress. This thesis examines physiological and genetic factors affecting the deployment of dhurrin. Using acyanogenic mutants, it is shown that dhurrin is required for normal plant growth; that synthesis can be induced by the hormone, methyl jasmonate; and it may act as an antioxidant. The effectiveness of sorghum transformation techniques to eliminate dhurrin synthesis are also demonstrated. The work shows that engineering plants to alter the production of natural plant products can have inadvertent effects.

description: We verify the finite time fluctuation theorem for a linear Ising chain at its ends in contact with heat reservoirs. Analytic results are derived for a chain consisting of only two spins. The system can be mapped onto a model for particle transport, namely the symmetric exclusion process, in contact with thermal and particle reservoirs. We modify the symmetric exclusion process to represent a thermal engine and reproduce universal features of the efficiency at maximum power.

description: This investigation is a part of a research program aiming to characterize the extreme behavior possible in hydrodynamic models by analyzing the maximum growth of certain fundamental quantities. We consider here the rate of growth of the classical and fractional enstrophy in the fractional Burgers equation in the subcritical and supercritical regimes. Since solutions to this equation exhibit, respectively, globally well-posed behavior and finite-time blow-up in these two regimes, this makes it a useful model to study the maximum instantaneous growth of enstrophy possible in these two distinct situations. First, we obtain estimates on the rates of growth and then show that these estimates are sharp up to numerical prefactors. This is done by numerically solving suitably defined constrained maximization problems and then demonstrating that for different values of the fractional dissipation exponent the obtained maximizers saturate the upper bounds in the estimates as the enstrophy increases. We conclude that the power-law dependence of the enstrophy rate of growth on the fractional dissipation exponent has the same global form in the subcritical, critical and parts of the supercritical regime. This indicates that the maximum enstrophy rate of growth changes smoothly as global well-posedness is lost when the fractional dissipation exponent attains supercritical values. In addition, nontrivial behavior is revealed for the maximum rate of growth of the fractional enstrophy obtained for small values of the fractional dissipation exponents. We also characterize the structure of the maximizers in different cases.

description: Autonomous driving is a key technology towards a brighter, more sustainable future. To enable such a future, it is necessary to utilize autonomous vehicles in shared mobility models. However, to evaluate, whether two or more route requests have the potential for a shared ride, is a compute-intensive task, if done by rerouting. In this work, we propose the Dynamic Longest Common Subsequences algorithm for fast and cost-efficient comparison of two routes for their compatibility, dynamically only incorporating parts of the routes which are suited for a shared trip. Based on this, one can also estimate, how many autonomous vehicles might be necessary to fulfill the local mobility demands. This can help providers to estimate the necessary fleet sizes, policymakers to better understand mobility patterns and cities to scale necessary infrastructure.

description: The monopole formula provides the Hilbert series of the Coulomb branch for a 3-dimensional N=4 gauge theory. Employing the concept of a fan defined by the matter content, and summing over the corresponding collection of monoids, allows the following: firstly, we provide explicit expressions for the Hilbert series for any gauge group. Secondly, we prove that the order of the pole at t=1 and t=infinity equals the complex or quaternionic dimension of the moduli space, respectively. Thirdly, we determine all bare and dressed BPS monopole operators that are sufficient to generate the entire chiral ring. As an application, we demonstrate the implementation of our approach to computer algebra programs and the applicability to higher rank gauge theories.

description: The Sago palm (Metroxylon sago) is an important and relatively untapped resource of polysaccharide with which to undertake economic development for the South-East Asia region (Indonesia, Thailand, Philipines and Vietnam). Presently, in South-East Asia and Oceana (Papua New Guinea and Oceanic Islands) it is estimated that two million hectares of wild stands of sago palm exist compared to 200,000 hectares of cultivated sago palm. The three leading world producers are Malaysia, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. In Sarawak, Malaysia, sago palms grow well in humid tropical low lands up to an altitude of 700 m. Temperatures above 25 °C and relative air humidity of 70% are favourable for its growth and soil salinity should not exceed 10 S/m, which is equivalent to one-eighth of the salt concentration of sea water (Singhal et al., 2008). A well-attended farm can produce 175 kg of sago starch per palm, giving a total yield of approximately 25 tonnes of sago starch/hectare. The starch, which is produced in about 300 million tonnes/year has industrial uses such as processing monosodium glutamate, glucose and fructose syrups (Suraini, 2002; Pei-Lang et al., 2006). In Malaysia, sago starch ranks fifth highest in term of agricultural revenue after pepper, palm oil, cocoa and rubber. As such, it is a useful commodity for Malaysia. However, the utilization of the sago palm goes further. Sago fiber is used to provide bulk for rumen fermentation, sago pith used as an animal feed stuff and in livestock industry and the sago frond used in pulp and paper industry [...]
On the use of impedance detuning for gastrointestinal segment tracking of ingestible capsules

description: During their travel through the gastrointestinal tract, ingestible antennas encounter detuning in their impedance response due to varying electromagnetic properties of the surrounding tissues. This paper investigates the possibility of using this impedance detuning to detect in which segment of the gastrointestinal tract - stomach, small intestine, or large intestine - the capsule is located. Meandered dipole antennas operating in the 433 MHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical Band are designed for this purpose. The antennas conform to the inner surface of 3D-printed polylactic-acid capsules with a shell thickness of 0.6 or 0.4 mm. The impedance response is first optimized numerically in a homogeneous cylindrical phantom with time-averaged electromagnetic properties. The magnitude and the phase of the reflection coefficient are then obtained in different tissues and compared with simulations and measurements. The experimental demonstration is carried out first using tissue-mimicking liquids and then in a recently deceased ex vivo porcine model. The minimum change in the phase between different gastrointestinal tissues was determined to be around 10 degrees in the porcine model, indicating that the changes in the impedance response, particularly the changes in the phase, provide sufficient information to follow the position of the capsule in the gastrointestinal tract.
Defects in Quartz Studied By Transmission Electron Microscopy and X-Ray Diffraction Topography
Creators: name: Phakey, Prem Parkash
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: Crystallography

description: Of the methods used in the study of defects in crystals employing diffraction contrast, transmission electron microscopy is preeminent on account of its high resolution..., speed, magnifying power (up to 10-6 times), and the high defect density (e.g. 10-18 dislocations cm-2 or more) it can handle. The method of X-ray topography, on the other hand, is a slow method to produce an unmagnified image of the specimen and at its best it has a practical resolution limit of about one micron. It follows that X-ray topography cannot compete at all with electron microscopy where resolution, magnification, and speed is concerned. However, X-ray topography is quite informative with undeformed or very lightly deformed good quality crystals having a low defect density (e.g. 10-6 dislocations cm -2 or less ) , because in such fairly perfect crystals the volume sampled in an electron micrograph is too small to give an estimate of the defects.
Squashed entanglement and approximate private states

description: The squashed entanglement is a fundamental entanglement measure in quantum information theory, finding application as an upper bound on the distillable secret key or distillable entanglement of a quantum state or a quantum channel. This paper simplifies proofs that the squashed entanglement is an upper bound on distillable key for finite-dimensional quantum systems and solidifies such proofs for infinite-dimensional quantum systems. More specifically, this paper establishes that the logarithm of the dimension of the key system (call it $\log_{2}K$) in an $\varepsilon$-approximate private state is bounded from above by the squashed entanglement of that state plus a term that depends only $\varepsilon$ and $\log_{2}K$. Importantly, the extra term does not depend on the dimension of the shield systems of the private state. The result holds for the bipartite squashed entanglement, and an extension of this result is established for two different flavors of the multipartite squashed entanglement.

description: Recently, it has been shown that the radial stability of a light-ring (LR) in a spacetime generated by a stationary, axisymmetric, asymptotically flat object with a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry determines the possibility and radial stability of timelike circular orbits (TCOs) around the LR. In this paper, we generalise this result by also considering the vertical (angular) stability of the orbits through the study of the radial and vertical epicyclic frequencies. We show that the vertical stability of the LR only determines the vertical stability of the TCOs around it. A relation between the sum of the squared epicyclic frequencies and the Ricci tensor is also provided. With such relation, we show that objects with radially and vertically unstable LRs (TCOs) violate the null (strong) energy condition.
