description: The root is an important organ of a plant since it is responsible for water and nutrient uptake. Analyzing and modelling variabilities in the geometry and topology of roots can help in assessing the plant's health, understanding its growth patterns, and modeling relations between plant species and between plants and their environment. In this article, we develop a framework for the statistical analysis and modeling of the geometry and topology of plant roots. We represent root structures as points in a tree-shape space equipped with a metric that quantifies geometric and topological differences between pairs of roots. We then use these building blocks to compute geodesics, i.e., optimal deformations under the metric between root structures, and to perform statistical analysis on root populations. We demonstrate the utility of the proposed framework through an application to a dataset of wheat roots grown in different environmental conditions. We also show that the framework can be used in various applications including classification and regression.
title: Transcribing Symphonic Repertoire for Eight Horns: Principles and Process Leading from Sources of Inspiration to Final Product

description: While music for all sizes of horn ensembles is becoming more popular, with arrangements and original compositions appearing in increasing numbers, literature on how to transcribe symphonic repertoire is sparse. Focusing on transcribing for eight horns, this dissertation provides an overview of the current state of transcribing for horn octet, followed by an in-depth analysis of the practice of the author, comparing it to that of other major exponents in the field. The main areas examined are the use of the horn and its extended techniques, the treatment of the horn octet as a chamber ensemble, and the various ways in which techniques specific to other instruments can be adapted for horns. The results are based on the author‟s practice and other published repertoire for eight horns, supported by more general literature on orchestration and instrumentation. Symphonic transcriptions for horn octet became popular in the United States towards the middle of the twentieth century, and even today remain centred around well-known works from the classical and romantic repertoire. The main reason for doing these transcriptions is to provide repertoire for existing ensembles, taking advantage of the familiarity of this repertoire for both performers and audiences. Over the years, horn technique has evolved, and this is reflected in the transcriptions, mainly in terms of range extension, technical facility across the range, and equal treatment of all voices. This evolution also means that parts for instruments often considered to be more agile than the horn can be accommodated, and if not, then at least satisfactorily approximated. A case study of the author‟s transcription of Carl Maria von Weber‟s Der Freischütz overture contextualises many of the techniques previously presented. By outlining the techniques and principles through which each individual part can be employed and contribute to the ensemble, it is shown that indeed many works from the symphonic repertoire can effectively be transcribed for horn octet.

description: Background: Early onset of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is associated with prolonged exposure to hyperglycaemia and increased propensity to chronic complications. The aim of this study was to characterize and compare the phenotypic characteristics and risk factors in a multi-ethnic cohort of young adults with type 2 diabetes (T2DMY). Methods: One hundred young adults (White European [WE], South Asian [SA] and African-Caribbean [AC]) diagnosed with T2DM before the age of 40 years were recruited. Demographics, family history, diabetes related complications, co-morbidities, anthropometry (body mass index [BMI], body composition), physical activity and biochemistry (HbA1c, lipid profile, liver and renal function) and autoantibodies (anti GAD, anti islet cell) were collected for all participants. Data were analysed for the most represented ethnic groups: (WE, N = 36 and SA, N = 53) using SPSS version 23. Results: Mean (± standard deviation) age at diagnosis was 32.5 ± 5.5 years and mean diabetes duration was 7.7 ± 3.8 years. Overweight/obesity was present in 95% of participants, history of maternal diabetes in 68%, deprivation 75%, low physical activity 40%, polycystic ovarian disease 29% (in females), acanthosis nigricans 12% and non-alcoholic fatty liver 11%. There was considerable clustering of risk factors within the cohort with over 75% of all subjects having three or more of the above risk factors and 52% required insulin within 3 years of diagnosis. Two-thirds of the patients had evidence of at least one diabetes related microvascular complication. Conclusion: T2DMY is characterized by a high burden of commonly associated risk factors for both the disease and its long-term complications.

description: Within the MSSM we propose the chaotic inflationary scenario in which the inflaton field is a combination of sleptons and the Higgs field states evolving along the $D$-term flat direction. In the inflation and postinflation reheating processes, a decisive role is played by the MSSM Yukawa superpotential. The vacuum energy during the inflationary era is mainly from the muonic Yukawa coupling, while the inflaton decay and subsequent reheating process dominantly proceeds due to the strange quark Yukawa term. Because of these, the presented scenario is predictive and the results obtained agree well with cosmological observations. In particular, the scalar spectral index and the tensor-to-scalar ratio are respectively, $n_s\simeq 0.966$ and $r=0.00117$. The reheating temperature is found to be $T_r\simeq 7.2\times 10^7$ GeV.

description: In data science, one is often confronted with a time series representing measurements of some quantity of interest. Usually, as a first step, features of the time series need to be extracted. These are numerical quantities that aim to succinctly describe the data and to dampen the influence of noise. In some applications, these features are also required to satisfy some invariance properties. In this paper, we concentrate on time-warping invariants. We show that these correspond to a certain family of iterated sums of the increments of the time series, known as quasisymmetric functions in the mathematics literature. We present these invariant features in an algebraic framework, and we develop some of their basic properties.

title: Inside the performer's process: Exploring four Australian works for the viola through recordings, analysis, and reflection

Subjects: subject: Viola
subject: Australian works
subject: Recordings
subject: Performance analysis
subject: Performance context

description: This research inquiry is firmly situated within the field of artistic research, where new knowledge about and within practice is gained. There are two equally weighted submission components: one being a series of sound files containing recordings of four recent Australian works for solo viola and related sonic data; the other this exegesis, which provides a context for understanding and unpacking the interpretive decisions housed in the recordings. The four works included in the research are: Liza Lim Amulet (1992), James Rushford Untitled (2012), Helen Gifford Desperation (2014) and Lisa Illean Cranes (2016, revised 2017). With each work, a particular experience stood out: learning, commissioning, performing, and recording a work. These became sites for investigation; problems to solve, choices to decipher, and musical decisions to consider. Analysis from the performer’s perspective became the potential medium through which the research could be expressed. Recent musical analysis literature that attempts to express elements of the score in the context of performance are limited in their ability to capture certain aspects of the performance by their abstract relationship to the site for analysis. In response to this gap in the literature, a goal of this research is to facilitate discourse on performance analysis and present a model of analysis that speaks to processes of the performer. This research argues that performance analysis is to be enacted by the performer, expressing their knowledge and experience of the score in the performance context. Specifically, a performance analysis of Lisa Illean’s Cranes (2016-17) in this exegesis is an embodied analysis that examines knowledge of the score that can only be to known to the performer through performing the score in real time. Examining creative processes undertaken by the performer as they work towards an interpretation reveals the ways in which the performer controls, manipulates and theorises elements of the score towards a performance. Further to this, the performer is in constant negotiation through their relationship with their instrument, the score, the composer, and the performance context. This can often lead to questions on how to navigate issues of authority and authenticity in a performance practice, as the performer determines what gives their practice meaning. When these experiences are contextualised and enter a reflective space, hierarchies are observed, strategies are developed, and greater understanding is gained.

title: The Role of Moral Emotions in the Onset and Progression of Child Sexual Offending

Subjects: subject: Child sexual assualt
subject: Sexual offences against children
subject: State Shame and Guilt Scale-Modified
subject: Sexual recidivism

description: This thesis investigates the role of moral emotions in child sexual assault. Despite an extensive literature on moral emotions among non-offending populations, there has been little investigation of the role of shame, guilt and pride in the onset and maintenance of child sexual assault. Current theories have generally paid little attention to moral emotions, instead relying on the concept of low self-control/self-regulation to help explain some aspects of this phenomenon. The empirical data on child sexual assault has consistently found that extrafamilial offenders, offenders against boys and younger offenders are more likely to reoffend. The major theories of child sexual assault provide a degree of explanation for the age effect, but do not provide a satisfactory explanation of the findings related to extrafamilial offenders and offenders against boys. This thesis argues that incorporating moral emotions into the existing theories will provide a much more satisfactory explanation of child sexual assault than the explanations yielded from self-control/self-regulation theory. A crucial distinction between self-control/self-regulation theories and an explanation based on moral emotions is that the former presumes a deficit (either ongoing or transient) in the offender, whereas the latter is encapsulated within a motivational balance model, which views the outcome as a result of an interplay between a number of competing motivations. This provides a much more satisfactory explanation for the amount of offending by people who “have” high self-control, while simultaneously helping explain the repetitive nature of chronic offenders.

description: Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is a linear dimensionality technique for nonnegative data with applications such as image analysis, text mining, audio source separation and hyperspectral unmixing. Given a data matrix $M$ and a factorization rank $r$, NMF looks for a nonnegative matrix $W$ with $r$ columns and a nonnegative matrix $H$ with $r$ rows such that $M \approx WH$. NMF is NP-hard to solve in general. However, it can be computed efficiently under the separability assumption which requires that the basis vectors appear as data points, that is, that there exists an index set $\mathcal{K}$ such that $W = M(:,\mathcal{K})$. In this paper, we generalize the separability assumption: We only require that for each rank-one factor $W(:,k)H(k,:)$ for $k=1,2,\dots,r$, either $W(:,k) = M(:,j)$ for some $j$ or $H(k,:) = M(i,:)$ for some $i$. We refer to the corresponding problem as generalized separable NMF (GS-NMF). We discuss some properties of GS-NMF and propose a convex optimization model which we solve using a fast gradient method. We also propose a heuristic algorithm inspired by the successive projection algorithm. To verify the effectiveness of our methods, we compare them with several state-of-the-art separable NMF algorithms on synthetic, document and image data sets.

subject: African immigrants, South East Quensland

description: This thesis attempts to describe the experiences of adult African immigrants in South East Queensland, who, as a relatively recent and growing immigrant group in Australia, have not been the subject of significant research attention. The empirical study explores their lived experiences by focusing in particular on the role of racialised ‘black skin’ identity constructions in their migration and settlement experiences. Specifically, the study examines the mediating effects of race and skin colour, and how differences in ‘race’ and ‘racialised’ identity constructions interact to impact their experiences as visible immigrants in Australia. The central research question asks how African immigrants define their identity, personal and socioeconomic well-being in white majority Australia. The study examines also these related sub-questions: How do African immigrants describe the impacts of racialised black skin colour on their everyday lives in Australia? What does living in a black body mean for African immigrants in Australia?

Conclusion: T2DMY is characterised by a high burden of commonly associated risk factors for both the disease and its long-term complications.

description: All real and virtual infrared singularities in the standard analysis of the perturbative Quantum Electrodynamics (like that of Yennie-Frautschi-Suura) are associated with photon emissions from the external legs in the scattering process. External particles are stable, with the zero decay width. Such singularities are well understood at any perturbative order and are resummed. The case of production and decay of the semi-stable {\em neutral} particles like $Z$ boson or $τ$ lepton, with the narrow decay width, $Γ/M \ll 1$, is also well understood at any perturbative order and soft photon resummation can be done. For the absent or loose upper cut-off on the total photon energy $ω$ the production and decay process of the semi-stable (neutral) particles decouples approximately and can be considered quasi-independently. In particular soft photon resummation can be done separately for the production and decay process treating semi-stable (neutral) particle as stable. So far, consistent treatment of the soft photon resummation for semi-stable {\em charged} particles like $W^\pm$ boson is not available in the literature and the aim of this work is to present a solution for this problem. Generally, it should be feasible because the underlying physics is the same as in the case of the neutral semi-stable resonances -- in the limit $Γ/M \ll 1$ production and decay processes for charged particles also necessarily decouple due to long lifetime of the particles. The technical problems to be solved in this work are related to the fact that semi-stable charged particle are able to emit photons.

description: Movement-based curricular tasks enrich learning by using sensorimotor experiences to support children’s understanding of abstract concepts. Technological advances have yielded empirical evidence of the connection between movement and cognitive function with the affective benefits of participation in movement noted as enhanced engagement, social competency and the opportunity for self-expression. This evidence is reflected in the holistic view of child development employed in early childhood settings. However the transition to primary school signals a considerable change in the way movement is viewed and used for learning. In recent years, curriculum reform and an emphasis on high-stakes testing has led to the perpetuation of traditional transmission pedagogies in many junior primary classrooms in Queensland. Routine practices such as whole-class direct instruction provide few movement opportunities for the young students who they serve. While policies have implications for classroom practice, the teachers who enact them are acknowledged as the key stakeholders in the decision-making process that facilitates (or avoids) movement activities for their students.

description: We develop a framework to describe a wide class of flat-band models, with and without a translational symmetry, by using "molecular orbitals" introduced in the prior work (HATSUGAI Y. and MARUYAMA I., \textit{EPL}, \textbf{95}, (2011) 20003). Using the molecular-orbital representation, we shed new light on the band-touching problem between flat and dispersive bands. We show that the band touching occurs as a result of collapse, or the linearly dependent nature, of molecular orbitals. Conversely, we can gap out the flat bands by modulating the molecular orbitals so that they do not collapse, which provides a simple prescription to construct models having a finite energy gap between flat bands and dispersive bands.

title: An investigation into the use of structured games to teach early fraction concepts to students who are deaf or hard of hearing

subject: Structured games

description: This study discusses the nature of mathematics and analyses current trends in mathematics education which focus on the learning process and its inter-relationship with the social and other contexts in which it occurs. In particular, the notion is presented that the development of mathematical understanding cannot be separated from the situation which nurtures it. The study relates these notions to the specific educational characteristics of students who are deaf or hard of hearing in relation to the development of understanding in mathematics education. The particular educational focus of this study is the development of the concept of fractions with a group of four eleven and twelve year-old students who attend a special education unit for students who are deaf or hard of hearing. These students comprised half of the Year 6 and 7 classes in the unit at the time. The other students attended a regular hearing class for their mathematics instruction, but it had been determined that the students in the research project required an alternative program in mathematics. The approach implemented in this study was a departure from traditional techniques for teaching fractions and relied extensively on the use of games with almost no formal instruction. It emphasised the development of appropriate language to facilitate an understanding of the notion of fractions through the investigation of concrete materials, pictorial representations and interactions between students and teacher. The approach had previously been used in a research project with hearing students and been found to develop an understanding of fractions. Each of the students is described and evidence of his/her participation is provided. The program is detailed through a sequence of games and activities and student outcomes. The specific role of games receives special attention in terms of mathematical and social outcomes. Implications are drawn for approaches to developing understanding of fractions and mathematics generally for students who are deaf or hard of hearing which focus on the relationship between developing understanding and the language to describe that understanding. If there is to be an across the board improvement in 'quantitative literacy' (Daniele, 1993) for students who are deaf or hard of hearing, it is suggested that sweeping changes are required at school level. This research provides a starting point for discussion among professionals as to their beliefs about mathematics, their expectations of their students and how best to approach the serious deficit of true understanding of mathematics among students who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Optimal depth-dependent distinguishability bounds for electrical impedance tomography in arbitrary dimension

description: The inverse problem of electrical impedance tomography is severely ill-posed. In particular, the resolution of images produced by impedance tomography deteriorates as the distance from the measurement boundary increases. Such depth dependence can be quantified by the concept of distinguishability of inclusions. This paper considers the distinguishability of perfectly conducting ball inclusions inside a unit ball domain, extending and improving known two-dimensional results to an arbitrary dimension $d \geq 2$ with the help of Kelvin transformations. The obtained depth-dependent distinguishability bounds are also proven to be optimal.

description: We explore the in-medium properties of heavy-quarkonium states at finite baryo-chemical potential and finite transverse momentum based on a modern complex-valued potential model. Our starting point is a novel, rigorous derivation of the generalized Gauss law for in-medium quarkonium, combining the non-perturbative physics of the vacuum bound state with a weak coupling description of the medium degrees of freedom. Its relation to previous models in the literature is discussed. We show that our approach is able to reproduce the complex lattice QCD heavy quark potential even in the non-perturbative regime, using a single temperature dependent parameter, the Debye mass $m_D$. After vetting the Gauss-law potential with state-of-the-art lattice QCD data, we extend it to the regime of finite baryon density and finite velocity, currently inaccessible to first principles simulations. In-medium spectral functions computed from the Gauss-law potential are subsequently used to estimate the $ψ'/J/ψ$ ratio in heavy-ion collisions at different beam energies and transverse momenta. We find qualitative agreement with the predictions from the statistical model of hadronization for the $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ dependence and a mild dependence on the transverse momentum.

description: A new family of self-organizing maps, the Winner-Relaxing Kohonen Algorithm, is introduced as a generalization of a variant given by Kohonen in 1991. The magnification behaviour is calculated analytically. For the original variant a magnification exponent of 4/7 is derived; the generalized version allows to steer the magnification in the wide range from exponent 1/2 to 1 in the one-dimensional case, thus provides optimal mapping in the sense of information theory. The Winner Relaxing Algorithm requires minimal extra computations per learning step and is conveniently easy to implement.

description: Recent observations of neutron-star properties, in particular the recent detection of gravitational waves emitted from binary neutron stars, GW 170817, open the way to put strong constraints on nuclear interactions. In this paper, we review the state of the art in calculating the equation of state of strongly interacting matter from first principle calculations starting from microscopic interactions among nucleons. We then review selected properties of neutron stars that can be directly compared with present and future observations.

description: We study the graph coloring problem over random graphs of finite average connectivity $c$. Given a number $q$ of available colors, we find that graphs with low connectivity admit almost always a proper coloring whereas graphs with high connectivity are uncolorable. Depending on $q$, we find the precise value of the critical average connectivity $c_q$. Moreover, we show that below $c_q$ there exist a clustering phase $c\in [c_d,c_q]$ in which ground states spontaneously divide into an exponential number of clusters and where the proliferation of metastable states is responsible for the onset of complexity in local search algorithms.

description: The effect of hydraulic parameters of an anaerobic/anoxic/oxic leachate treatment reactor on the removal of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) from aged landfill leachate was studied. The mean DEHP removal efficiencies were 79.5%, 87.1%, 89.7% and 87.8% at hydraulic retention times of 6, 4.5, 3 and 2 d, respectively. The removal efficiency of DEHP was significantly higher when the internal reflux ratio was 200% than others. There was no significant difference among the DEHP removal efficiencies at different external reflux ratios of the reactor. Due to the overall efficiency of the reactor, hydraulic retention time 3 d, internal reflux ratio 200% and external reflux ratio 60%, were considered the optimal hydraulic parameters for DEHP removal from aged leachate. The removal efficiency of DEHP was significantly improved (from 75.7% to 89.1%) after the optimization of hydraulic parameters of the reactor. The removal percentages of DEHP in the anaerobic, anoxic, and oxic units of the reactor were 42.8%, 17.6%, and 15.3%, respectively. The oxic microcosms in the reactor had little effect on DEHP removal. The correlation between DEHP and leachate pollutants indicated that DEHP removal was strongly correlated with leachate COD and NH4+–N.
