description: Background: Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is a severe form of retinal dystrophy with marked underlying genetic heterogeneity. Until recently, allele-specific assays and Sanger sequencing of targeted segments were the only available approaches for attempted genetic diagnosis in this condition. A broader next-generation sequencing (NGS) strategy, such as whole exome sequencing, provides an improved molecular genetic diagnostic capacity for patients with these conditions.Materials and Methods: In a child with LCA, an allele-specific assay analyzing 135 known LCA-causing variations, followed by targeted segment sequencing of 61 regions in 14 causative genes was performed. Subsequently, exome sequencing was undertaken in the proband, unaffected consanguineous parents and two unaffected siblings. Bioinformatic analysis used two independent pipelines, BWA-GATK and SOAP, followed by Annovar and SnpEff to annotate the variants.Results: No disease-causing variants were found using the allele-specific or targeted segment Sanger sequencing assays. Analysis of variants in the exome sequence data revealed a novel homozygous nonsense mutation (c.1081C > T, p.Arg361*) in TULP1, a gene with roles in photoreceptor function where mutations were previously shown to cause LCA and retinitis pigmentosa. The identified homozygous variant was the top candidate using both bioinformatic pipelines.Conclusions: This study highlights the value of the broad sequencing strategy of exome sequencing for disease gene identification in LCA, over other existing methods. NGS is particularly beneficial in LCA where there are a large number of causative disease genes, few distinguishing clinical features for precise candidate disease gene selection, and few mutation hotspots in any of the known disease genes.
Why vertical structural separation is in the interests of incumbent telcos, and why they don't see it

description: Vertical separation of incumbent telecommunications providers has been a popular topic in regulatory discussion. This paper addresses the question from the interests of the integrated firm itself, and though the case made is general, the case of Telstra is specifically considered. Opportunities for international growth, cheaper cost of capital, the opportunity to simplify systems costs and simpler regulatory arrangements are identified as benefits not sufficiently considered by firms. Bounded rationality, agency problems and misunderstanding strategic management are discussed as reasons for the benefits being insufficiently considered. Lawmakers interested in achieving separation could consider actively engaging the investment banks to study the benefits. Copyright 2008 David Havyatt.

description: We report enhanced nonlinear optics in nanowires, waveguides, and ring resonators by introducing layered two-dimensional (2D) graphene oxide (GO) films through experimental demonstration. The GO films are integrated on silicon-on-insulator nanowires (SOI), high index doped silica glass, and silicon nitride (SiN) waveguides and microring resonators (MRRs), to demonstrate an improved optical nonlinearity including Kerr nonlinearity and four-wave mixing (FWM). By using a large-area, transfer-free, layer-by-layer GO coating method with photolithography and lift-off processes, we integrate GO films on these complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible devices. For SOI nanowires, significant spectral broadening of optical pulses in GO-coated SOI nanowires induced by self-phase modulation (SPM) is observed, achieving a high spectral broadening factor of 4.34 for a device with a patterned film including 10 layers of GO. A significant enhancement in the nonlinear figure of merit (FOM) for silicon nanowires by a factor of 20 is also achieved, resulting in a FOM > 5. For Hydex and SiN waveguides, enhanced FWM in the GO-coated waveguides is achieved, where conversion efficiency (CE) enhancements of up to 6.9 dB and 9.1 dB relative to the uncoated waveguides. For MRRs, an increase of up to ~10.3 dB in the FWM CE is achieved due to the resonant enhancement effect. These results reveal the strong potential of GO films to improve the nonlinear optics of nanowires, waveguides, and ring resonators.

Net neutrality - How relevant is it to Australia?
Creators: name: Endres, James
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper defines net neutrality as a restriction on price differentiation or price discrimination by firms involved in the distribution and transport of online content and applications. Many argue that net neutrality is a uniquely American problem brought about by an abandonment of access regulation and a lack of competition in the retail provision of broadband Internet access. This paper reviews the issues at the core of the net neutrality debate and assesses their relevance to Australia. It concludes that the combination of strong competition in the provision of broadband Internet access, widespread adoption of volumetric pricing by ISPs and the existence of a well established regulatory framework for dealing with discriminatory behaviour negates the need for specific net neutrality regulation in Australia.

description: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been extensively used as antibacterial component in numerous healthcare, biomedical and consumer products. Therefore, their adverse effects to biological systems have become a major concern. AgNPs have been shown to be absorbed into circulation and redistributed into various organs. It is thus of great importance to understand how these nanoparticles affect vascular permeability and uncover the underlying molecular mechanisms. A negatively charged mecaptoundeonic acid-capped silver nanoparticle (MUA@AgNP) was investigated in this work. Ex vivo experiments in mouse plasma revealed that MUA@AgNPs caused plasma prekallikrein cleavage, while positively charged or neutral AgNPs, as well as Ag ions had no effect. In vitro tests revealed that MUA@AgNPs activated the plasma kallikrein-kinin system (KKS) by triggering Hageman factor autoactivation. By using specific inhibitors aprotinin and HOE 140, we demonstrated that KKS activation caused the release of bradykinin, which activated B2 receptors and induced the shedding of adherens junction protein, VE-cadherin. These biological perturbations eventually resulted in endothelial paracellular permeability in mouse retina after intravitreal injection of MUA@AgNPs. The findings from this work provided key insights for toxicity modulation and biomedical applications of AgNPs.

description: Although there is no universal, widely accepted definition of Net Neutrality, a fundamental premise of a neutral network is that broadband providers should not discriminate against or provide preferential access to lawful content based on that contents source, destination, or ownership. This paper discusses some of the dangers associated with the abandonment of the foundational principles of the Internet as we know it today openness, interoperability, and a culture of participation and argues that we need to preserve Net Neutrality in Australia in order to protect the growing digital economy.

description: We consider personal rapid transit (PRT) as a sustainable transit system for Canberra. We discuss the advantages of PRT and show that is has all of the advantages and features of both car ownership and public transport, with added attractions of its own. The most appealing feature of PRT is its cost. Previous studies have shown PRT to be cheaper than most other public transport systems. We show that PRT would be remarkably cost effective for a city planned like Canberra, particularly if there were sufficient incentives to significantly cut car ownership, including enhancement of the current excellent bicycle network.

description: Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) potentially undergo physicochemical transformation in the environment, which may lead to unexpected environmental and health risks. The “aging” process is essential for better understanding the toxicity and fate of NPs in the environment. However, the mutagenic effects of aged ZnO NPs are still unexplored. The present study focused on investigating the physicochemical transformation during aging process and clarifying the mutagenicity of naturally aged ZnO NPs in human–hamster hybrid (AL) cells. It was found that ZnO NPs underwent sophisticated physicochemical transformations with aging regardless of original morphology or size, such as the microstructural changes, the formation of hydrozincite (Zn5(CO3)2(OH)6) and the release of free zinc ions. Interestingly, the aged ZnO NPs were investigated to be able to result in much lower cytotoxicity while relatively high degree mutation than fresh ZnO NPs. With characterization of the soluble and insoluble fractions of aged ZnO NPs suspension, together with the control measurements using metal chelator (TPEN) and endocytosis inhibitor (Nystatin), it was revealed that the release of zinc ions and nanoparticle uptake made significantly different contributions to the mutagenicity of fresh and aged ZnO NPs. This study clearly demonstrated that the physicochemical transformation of ZnO NPs with aging plays important and comprehensive roles in the ZnO NPs-induced mutagenicity in mammalian cells.
Telecommunications across borders: refugees' technology use during displacement

description: This article reports on recent research examining refugees as a particular user group of communication technologies. The term refugee refers to all people who are exposed to refugee-type experiences and may include displaced people, asylum seekers and resettled refugees who have been granted residency in Australia. A review of literature has found that refugees as technology users have had very little attention across different disciplines, although the research has shown that technology is key to sustaining emotional wellbeing and precarious connections with family members when displaced. In particular, the telephone is the most critical technology for refugees in terms availability and familiarity. However, the access and affordability of telecommunications services and other technologies during displacement impacts on refugees adoption and use of technology in the settlement process.

description: Magnetotellurics (MT) is a passive electromagnetic geophysical method that measures variations in subsurface electrical resistivity. MT data are collected in the time domain and processed in the frequency domain to produce estimates of a transfer function representing the Earth's electrical structure. Unfortunately, the MT community lacks metadata and data standards for time series data. As the community grows and findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reuse of digital assets (FAIR) data principles are enforced by government and funding agencies, a standard is needed for time series data. Presented here is a hierarchical data format (MTH5) that is logically formatted to how MT data are collected. Open-source Python packages are also described to read, write, and manipulate MTH5 files. These include a package to deal with metadata (\texttt{mt\symbol{95}metadata}) based on standards developed by the Working Group for Magnetotelluric Data Handling and Software assembled by the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), and \texttt{mth5}: a package to interact with MTH5 files that uses \texttt{mt\symbol{95}metadata}. Example code and workflows are presented.

description: When open competition was introduced through the Telecommunications Act 1997 (Cth), Part XIB The Telecommunications Industry: Anti-Competitive Conduct and Record-Keeping rules and Part XIC Telecommunications Access Regime were added to the Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth) to underpin open competition. In moving from the former Government owned monopoly providers to open competition, new competitors to the former monopolist Telecom (now Telstra) had to be able to interconnect to Telstras infrastructure to be able to provide competing services. The Governments aim was that, in the first instance, interconnection arrangements would be commercially negotiated. Failing successful negotiations, however, the Access Regime provided that the bottleneck facilities could be declared. Once a service is declared, the provider of the declared service has specific obligations to provide interconnection on specified terms, with the possibility that the ACCC can arbitrate disputes on access to declared services. Ten years later, the effectiveness of the Access Regime is being questioned, by the competition regulator, by Telstra and by Telstras competitors.The purpose of this paper is to review the effectiveness of the Access Regime and consider whether it can be further amended to improve its effectiveness (there have been significant amendments to the Access Regime in 1999, 2002 and 2005) or whether other measures to ensure a competitive environment in telecommunications should be considered.The research for this paper has been an examination of written material, including significant reports on competition in telecommunications by the Productivity Commission and by ACCC reports on competition in the industry. It has also examined the many ACCC inquiries into Access Regime issues, submissions to those inquiries and public statements made by industry participants.

Year: 2025

description: The IoT-based Rural Automation System aims to optimize water management in rural areas by automatingthe monitoring and control of water supply using a combination of sensors and IoT technology. Thissystem utilizes an ESP32 microcontroller connected to various sensors: an ultrasonic sensor for detectingwater levels, a water flow sensor to monitor the flow rate, and a turbidity sensor to assess water quality. Asolenoid valve is used to control the water supply, while a relay module is integrated for device control.The system also includes a water pump, water pipe, and a Wi-Fi module for seamless connectivity.Thecore functionality of the system involves real-time monitoring of the water supply in underground pipes. Ifthe water flow exceeds a preset limit, the flow sensor triggers an alert to prevent overflow. Simultaneously,the turbidity sensor detects water contamination, alerting the system if the water is dirty. The solenoidvalve automatically closes once the tank reaches its full capacity, halting the water flow. The entire processis monitored and controlled via the Blynk app, providing an intuitive interface for users to access real-timedata and make adjustments remotely.

description: Newton's laws of motion perfectly explain or approximate physical phenomena in our everyday life. Are there any laws that explain or approximate technology's rise or fall? After reviewing thirteen information technologies that succeeded, this article concludes three laws of technology and derives five corollaries to explain or approximate the rise or fall of technology. Three laws are the laws of technology inertia, technology change force, and technology action and reaction. Five corollaries are the corollaries of measurement of technology change force, technology breakthrough, technology monopoly, technology openness, and technology business opportunity. I present how to use the laws and the corollaries to analyze an emerging technology -- the open-source RISC-V processor. Also, I elaborate on benchmarks' role in applying those laws.

description: RESUMO

A superlotação carcerária no Brasil tem sido um dos maiores desafios enfrentados pelo sistema prisional, agravando as condições de vida dos detentos e prejudicando a função de ressocialização. Este artigo tem como objetivo estudar os impactos da superlotação nas unidades prisionais brasileiras, destacando a violação dos direitos humanos e a não aplicação efetiva do princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana. A pesquisa, de caráter teórico e bibliográfico, analisa as principais causas da superlotação, como a demora no julgamento dos processos, a falta de políticas adequadas de reintegração social e a ausência de estrutura adequada nas prisões. Os resultados indicam que o sistema prisional brasileiro, ao sobrecarregar suas instalações com um número excessivo de detentos, cria um ambiente propício à violência e à reincidência criminal, além de inviabilizar a oferta de condições mínimas de saúde, segurança e dignidade. Conclui-se que, sem reformas estruturais e mudanças nas políticas de encarceramento, o sistema carcerário continuará a falhar na promoção de uma verdadeira ressocialização, perpetuando o ciclo de exclusão social dos presos.

description: Tripartite motif 22 (TRIM22) is involved in various cellular processes. It has been reported that TRIM22 can activate nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway, but the precise mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we explored the exact role of TRIM22 in activating the NF-κB pathway. Different to tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) induction, we found that the overexpression of TRIM22 could induce the processing of p100 to p52 in HEK293T cells. Furthermore, based on the results of co-immunoprecipitation and co-localization experiments, we demonstrated that TRIM22 could interact with IκB kinase (IKK)α but not IKKβ and could increase the level and phosphorylation of IKKα through its really interesting new gene (RING) and spla-ryanodine receptor (SPRY) domains. These results suggest that TRIM22 is able to activate the noncanonical but not the canonical NF-κB pathway by activating IKKα. This finding will aid our understanding of the biological function of TRIM22.

description: The urgent need to mitigate climate change demands rapid and extensive de-carbonization of global economies. Transition to net-zero carbon is not merely technical but a complex socio-political endeavour with significant trade-offs involving inequality, well-being, sustainability, and political acceptability. If perceived as unfair, the transition risks rejection and political backlash. Still, a just and inclusive transition can also enhance social cohesion and accelerate sustainable policy adoption.

In this paper, we introduce a new Agent-Based Model (ABM) called SEN-HARP which integrates biophysical and socio-political modules through original feedback loops to study how these interactions might shape the feasibility and effectiveness of different scenarios of European Union's Green Deal: market-based and innovation, augmented Green Deal, and a disruptive post-growth called “harmonious living”. 

SEN-HARP articulates the micro and macro levels for simulating the joint dynamics of resource use, warming impacts, livelihood dynamics and voting behaviour the latter being based on perceived gains or losses from transition policies. By combining an Agent-Based Stock-Flow Consistent (AB-SFC) approach with an environmental biophysical module, SEN-HARP can also explore how sustainability goals interact with inequality and political acceptability within fiscal and physical boundaries.

While significant progress has been made in understanding the biophysical dimensions of climate change, the socio-political aspects remain largely under-explored by assessment models. This paper therefore provides a useful tool for analysing more comprehensively the trade-offs between effectiveness, fairness and political feasibility brought by the net-zero carbon transition.

A purposeful rebuilding: youTube, representation, accessibility and the socio-political space of disability

description: Broadband has been credited with opening up the world to people with disability, allowing them access to both employment and social opportunities. At the same time, people with disability struggle not to be left behind in this digital revolution. YouTube as it has provided opportunities to some people with disabilities while excluding others highlights the importance of a cultural conversation about the future of telecommunications in relation to both content and the medium of transmission.As a disability cultural movement emerged in the 1990s, activists, academics and media producers argued that people with disability should be in charge of their own image. Further, these images must make the able bodied audience feel uncomfortable in order for social change to occur. YouTube is the realisation of this vision. I offer two YouTube productions as case studies; In My Language and Talk (parts 1 and 2). These films demonstrate the way in which disability is a social construction dependant on environment and prejudicial attitudes. The paper then moves to situate YouTube within the broader digital context as it has disadvantaged people with disability through an inaccessible network.By bringing together Christopher Newells (and others) work across the three disciplines of media, disability and Internet studies, this paper generates an approach that recognises the equalising potential of Broadband telecommunications to provide a purposeful rebuilding of the disability narrative and work that still needs to be done in this area Copyright 2010 Katie Ellis.

description: Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety profile of carbetocin with other uterotonic agents in preventing postpartum hemorrhage.Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and EBSCOhost were searched for relevant randomized controlled trials published until September 2013.Results: Carbetocin was associated with a significantly reduced need for additional uterotonic agents (RR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.55–0.84, I2 = 4%) compared with oxytocin in women following cesarean delivery. However, with respect to postpartum hemorrhage, severe postpartum hemorrhage, mean estimated blood loss and adverse effects, our analysis failed to detect a significant difference. Studies comparing carbetocin with syntometrine in women undergoing vaginal delivery demonstrated no statistical difference in terms of risk of postpartum hemorrhage, severe postpartum hemorrhage or the need for additional uterotonic agents, but the risk of adverse effect was significantly lower in the carbetocin group.Conclusions: Carbetocin has been associated with a similar low incidence of adverse effects to oxytocin and at least as effective as syntometrine and may become an alternative uterotonic agent for the prevention of postpartum hemorrhage. Further studies should be conducted to determine the safety and efficacy profile of carbetocin in women with cardiac disorders and to analyze the cost-effectiveness and minimum effective dose of carbetocin.

description: There exist many scenarios where pixel information is available only on a non-regular subset of pixel positions. For further processing, however, it is required to reconstruct such images on a regular grid. Besides many other algorithms, frequency selective reconstruction can be applied for this task. It performs a block-wise generation of a sparse signal model as an iterative superposition of Fourier basis functions and uses this model to replace missing or corrupted pixels in an image. In this paper, it is shown that it is not required to spend the same amount of iterations on both homogeneous and heterogeneous regions. Hence, a new texture-dependent approach for frequency selective reconstruction is introduced that distributes the number of iterations depending on the texture of the regions to be reconstructed. Compared to the original frequency selective reconstruction and depending on the number of iterations, visually noticeable gains in PSNR of up to 1.47 dB can be achieved.

description: The late 1980s saw a transformation of telecommunications in Australia with the introduction of limited competition. In 1997 the market was fully opened to competition. It was hoped on both these occasions that competition would lead to low prices and a wide range of services. The resulting picture has been mixed. Prices have fallen significantly but Australia is not at the forefront of low international prices. However, there are a number of reasons for this and it is unrealistic to expect very low prices. Australian consumers and businesses have benefitted greatly from the large reductions in prices that have occurred and price reductions are undoubtedly a key reason for the growing importance of telecommunications in household and business budgets and our lives generally over the past twenty years.

description: Two 5-tetrazolylazo-8-hydroxyquinoline (TTHQ) Zn2+ and Mn2+ complexes, [Zn(TTHQ)(en)]·2H2O (en = ethylenediamine) (1) and [Mn2(TTHQ)2(H2O)6]·2H2O (2), were synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Stacking (π–π) and hydrogen-bonding interactions are responsible for the stabilization of the supramolecular structures. UV-vis spectral changes and photoluminescent properties of TTHQ, 1 and 2 were investigated and a red emission was found. The hydrogen-bonding interaction energies in 1 and 2 were calculated using density functional theory (DFT) at the WB97XD/6-31++G level.
Revisiting the structural separation of Telstra [2004]

description: This paper, originally published in Telecommunications Journal of Australia Volume 54 No 3, 2004, reviews the arguments for and against the 'vertical' structural separation of Telstra, following the apparent failure of nominal 'accounting separation' as a regulatory means for ensuring fair and equitable provision of Telstra's wholesale pricing to itself and to its competitors.The paper argues the several national benefits of a government buy-back of Telstra's fixed wholesale network business, and suggests a new solution as to how this might be achieved at affordable cost and without excessive political risk.The paper also spells out the implications of the opposite eventuality, the complete privatisation of Telstra, and why this would not be in the national interest.

description: Both a high spatial and a high temporal resolution of images and videos are desirable in many applications such as entertainment systems, monitoring manufacturing processes, or video surveillance. Due to the limited throughput of pixels per second, however, there is always a trade-off between acquiring sequences with a high spatial resolution at a low temporal resolution or vice versa. In this paper, a modified sensor concept is proposed which is able to acquire both a high spatial and a high temporal resolution. This is achieved by dynamically reading out only a subset of pixels in a non-regular order to obtain a high temporal resolution. A full high spatial resolution is then obtained by performing a subsequent three-dimensional reconstruction of the partially acquired frames. The main benefit of the proposed dynamic readout is that for each frame, different sampling points are available which is advantageous since this information can significantly enhance the reconstruction quality of the proposed reconstruction algorithm. Using the proposed dynamic readout strategy, gains in PSNR of up to 8.55 dB are achieved compared to a static readout strategy. Compared to other state-of-the-art techniques like frame rate up-conversion or super-resolution which are also able to reconstruct sequences with both a high spatial and a high temporal resolution, average gains in PSNR of up to 6.58 dB are possible.

description: Purpose of the study: Cytotoxic-T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) has been shown to play an important role in the development and progression of thyroid associated ophthalmopathy (TAO). A number of case-control studies focused on the association between CTLA-4 +49A/G polymorphism and risk for TAO. But the results were not always consistent. So we performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the precise association between this polymorphism and risk for TAO.Materials and methods: All publications on the association between CTLA-4 +49A/G polymorphism and TAO were searched in the following electronic databases: PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane library and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, with the last report up to May 2014. This meta-analysis was assessed by Review Manager 5.1.Results: A total of 14 studies were involved in this meta-analysis, including 1128 cases and 2539 controls. Overall, we found a significant association between CTLA-4 +49A/G polymorphism and TAO (G versus A: OR = 1.64, 95% CI = 1.40–1.92, p < 0.00001; GG versus AG + AA: OR = 2.02, 95% CI = 1.59–2.57, p < 0.00001; GG + AG versus AA: OR = 2.01, 95% CI = 1.66–2.43, p < 0.00001; GG versus AA: OR = 2.74, 95% CI = 1.83–4.10, p < 0.00001; AG versus AA: OR = 1.75, 95% CI = 1.42–2.15, p < 0.00001). The results were not materially altered after the studies which did not fulfill Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium were excluded. Significant association was also detected in both Caucasian and Asian populations in subgroup analysis divided by different ethnicity.Conclusion: Our meta-analysis supports the association between the CTLA-4 +49A/G polymorphism and TAO.
