description: Unravelling East Africa’s Early Linguistic History is a research project that aims to reconstruct the earliest possible linguistic history of East Africa with focus on Tanzania and Kenya and to provide a comprehensive overview of its linguistic history in the last five thousand years. In the traditional view, East Africa was populated by KhoiSan speaking hunter-gatherer communities before successive populations of Cushitic, Bantu, and Nilotic people moved in, bringing agriculture, animal husbandry, and iron. Recent advances in archaeology show a more complex picture. Also, genetic studies have become available, including studies on ancient human and cattle DNA. Furthermore, historical linguists no longer consider the various East African Khoi-San languages as related to each other. It is therefore time to fully reconsider how the linguistic evidence relates to the early populations. Over the last decades, new lexical and grammatical data has become available. This project provides an open online database containing this lexical material with a critical evaluation of its origins. In order to establish a new timeline for the language history of East Africa, we develop a revised and drastically expanded linguistic reconstruction of Proto Core Cushitic, and of South Omotic. This results in an overview of which language groups were where and in which chronology based on linguistic evidence which serves as input for a interdisciplinary pursuits, especially with archaeologists and geneticists that will provide a new and detailed picture for the peopling of East Africa, linking linguistic groups with archaeological finds and DNA results.

description: The history of Mexico from 1821 to 1855 was a chronicle of continuous revolutions and counter-revolutions, and the history of those revolutions was incarnated in the career of Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna. So completely did his transcendental personality dominate the course of events in Mexico during that time, that the whole period may properly be called the Santa Anna Era. This dissertation proposes to cover only the period of Santa Anna’s career which ended on April 1, 1833. Regardless of the opinion one may form of Santa Anna as a man; regardless of the estimate that posterity makes, or may make, as to the character of the influence he exerted on his countrymen; of the merits or demerits that may be placed for or against his as a statesman, general, and politician, none can deny the greatness, nor the reality of his influence upon the formative period of Mexican history. It is safe to say that a more kaleidoscopic career can scarcely be found in the history of any country, past or present

description: A {\em strong $k$-edge-coloring} of a graph $G$ is a mapping from $E(G)$ to $\{1,2,\ldots,k\}$ such that every two adjacent edges or two edges adjacent to the same edge receive distinct colors. The {\em strong chromatic index} $χ_s'(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the smallest integer $k$ such that $G$ admits a strong $k$-edge-coloring. We give bounds on $χ_s'(G)$ in terms of the maximum degree $Δ(G)$ of a graph $G$. when $G$ is sparse, namely, when $G$ is $2$-degenerate or when the maximum average degree ${\rm Mad}(G)$ is small. We prove that the strong chromatic index of each $2$-degenerate graph $G$ is at most $5Δ(G) +1$. Furthermore, we show that for a graph $G$, if ${\rm Mad}(G)< 8/3$ and $Δ(G)\geq 9$, then $χ_s'(G)\leq 3Δ(G) -3$ (the bound $3Δ(G) -3$ is sharp) and if ${\rm Mad}(G)<3$ and $Δ(G)\geq 7$, then $χ_s'(G)\leq 3Δ(G)$ (the restriction ${\rm Mad}(G)<3$ is sharp).

description: Geothermal energy has the potential to be a key player in energy transformation all over the world through Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). This study evaluates the energy production from the geothermal reservoir located in the Kizildere field in Turkey in conjunction with analytical and numerical approaches. Moreover, this work investigates the impact of natural fracture networks in this high-permeability field. First, the Kizildere field data were evaluated, and then the data were analyzed for energy production for 50 years by applying a few analytical models. The field was simulated for 50 years using CMG Thermal STARS with a novel code, thermal Embedded Discrete Fracture Model (EDFM). The simulations analyzed the effects of different well designs on heat generation. Sensitivity analysis was by using various natural fracture network densities. The results show that the number of natural fractures in high permeable reservoirs does not impact the amount of heat extraction because the circulation fluid mainly flows through the matrix instead of fractures in EGS with high permeability. In addition, this thesis shows that the impact of well placement primarily depends on reservoir dimensions. Additional work was done regarding the effect of high temperature in the selection of casing. Furthermore, the thesis delivers forecasts and possible recommendations for further research.

Modelling copper-linked diseases and glutathione deficiency using Drosophila melanogaster
Creators: name: Mercer, Stephen William
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Copper is an essential micronutrient that is required for a multitude of cellular functions and cellular pathways in the human body, such as energy metabolism, neuropeptide maturation and pigmentation. Multicellular eukaryotes have evolved sophisticated homeostatic mechanisms to circumvent the severe consequences of either too much or too little copper. The consequences of copper dyshomeostasis are evidenced by two hereditary disorders, Menkes and Wilson’s disease, caused by mutations in the copper efflux proteins ATP7A and ATP7B respectively. Although the roles of ATP7A and ATP7B in trafficking copper are well characterised, the differential impact of various Menkes and Wilson’s disease mutations is not well understood. Furthermore, despite the fact that many of the factors involved in intracellular copper distribution have been identified, there is still a lack of in vivo data on the roles of the glutathionylation machinery, mainly glutathione (GSH) and human GRX1 (hGRX1), in copper homeostasis. This project aimed to use Drosophila melanogaster to not only generate an efficient in vivo system for testing various Menkes and Wilson’s disease mutations, but also to further evaluate the roles of GSH and Drosophila orthologue of hGRX1 in copper homeostasis. Here I show that we have generated a single, in vivo model for studying multiple pathogenic mutations in ATP7 proteins, using the model organism Drosophila melanogaster, which has a single orthologue of ATP7A and ATP7B. Three pathogenic ATP7A mutations and one ATP7B mutation were introduced into a genomic ATP7 rescue construct containing an in-frame C-terminal eGFP tag. Analysis of gATP7:eGFP transgenes containing pathogenic mutations showed that the functionality of ATP7 was directly affected by all four of the human mutations investigated in this study. In addition to my study on pathogenic ATP7 mutations, I found that knockdown of the catalytic subunit of Glutamate cysteine ligase (Gclc), the rate limiting enzyme in GSH biosynthesis, in all neurons, caused lethality. The flies were partially rescued by copper supplementation but mortality was increased by additional knockdown of the copper uptake transporter Ctr1A, or overexpression of the copper efflux transporter ATP7. In addition, when Gclc was knocked down in a subset of neuropeptide-producing cells, this resulted in adult progeny with unexpanded wings, a phenotype previously associated with copper dyshomeostasis. Finally, I found that depletion of the putative Drosophila orthologue of hGrx1, CG6852, in both the adult thorax and eye resulted in copper-linked phenotypes that were in both cases exacerbated by co-suppression of copper uptake genes. Overall this study illustrates the usefulness of Drosophila for modelling copper-linked diseases, but also for further investigation of conserved copper homeostasis proteins.

Testing CP-Violation in the Scalar Sector at Future $e^+e^-$ Colliders

description: We propose a {\em model-independent} method to test CP-violation in the scalar sector through measuring the inclusive cross sections of $e^+e^-\rightarrow Zh_1,Zh_2,h_1h_2$ processes with the recoil mass technique, where $h_1, h_2$ stand for the 125 GeV standard model (SM) like Higgs boson and a new lighter scalar respectively. This method effectively measures a quantity $K$ proportional to the product of the three couplings of $h_1ZZ,h_2ZZ,h_1h_2Z$ vertices. The value of $K$ encodes a part of information about CP-violation in the scalar sector. We simulate the signal and backgrounds for the processes mentioned above with $m_{2}=40\textrm{GeV}$ at the Circular Electron-Positron Collider (CEPC) with the integrated luminosity $5\textrm{ab}^{-1}$. We find that the discovery of both $Zh_2$ and $h_1h_2$ processes at $5σ$ level will indicate an $\mathcal{O}(10^{-2})$ $K$ value which can be measured to $16\%$ precision. The method is applied to the weakly-coupled Lee model in which CP-violation can be tested either before or after utilizing a "$p_T$ balance" cut (see \autoref{simu} for the definition). Lastly we point out that $K\neq 0$ is a sufficient but not a necessary condition for the existence of CP-violation in the scalar sector, namely $K = 0$ does not imply CP conservation in the scalar sector.

description: A time-invariant, linear, distributed observer is described for estimating the state of an $m>0$ channel, $n$-dimensional continuous-time linear system of the form $ \dot{x} = Ax,\ y_i = C_i x,\ i \in \{1,2,\cdots, m\}$. The state $x$ is simultaneously estimated by $m$ agents assuming each agent $i$ senses $y_i$ and receives the state $z_j$ of each of its neighbors' estimators. Neighbor relations are characterized by a constant directed graph $\mathbb{N}$ whose vertices correspond to agents and whose arcs depict neighbor relations. The overall distributed observer consists of $m$ linear estimators, one for each agent; $m-1$ of the estimators are of dimension $n$ and one estimator is of dimension $n+m-1$. Using results from classical decentralized control theory, it is shown that subject to the assumptions that (i) none of the $C_i$ are zero, (ii) the neighbor graph $\mathbb{N}$ is strongly connected, (iii) the system whose state is to be estimated is jointly observable, and nothing more, it is possible to freely assign the spectrum of the overall distributed observer.

description: We experimentally explore the dynamic optical hysteresis of a semiconductor microcavity as a function of the sweep time. The hysteresis area exhibits a double power law decay due to the shot noise of the driving laser, which triggers switching between metastable states. Upon increasing the average photon number and approaching the thermodynamic limit, the double power law evolves into a single power law. This algebraic behavior characterizes a dissipative phase transition. Our findings are in good agreement with theoretical predictions, and the present experimental approach is promising for the exploration of critical phenomena in photonic lattices.

description: This study examines the synthesis of mononuclear metal complexes that contain alkylxanthate (Xn), dialkyldithiocarbamate (dtc) and alkylthioxanthate (Txn) ligands, and analyses their potential as single source molecular (SSM) precursors for the development of metal sulfide materials. Metal complexes containing these ligands are useful for this purpose as they display clean decomposition pathways coupled with a low decomposition temperature, and therefore can allow for the formation of metal sulfide materials on a variety of substrates. The mononuclear complexes detailed in this thesis give a solid foundation for future, exciting work to be undertaken in this field.

description: Hybrid semiconductor-superconductor quantum dot devices are tunable physical realizations of quantum impurity models for a magnetic impurity in a superconducting host. The binding energy of the localized sub-gap Shiba states is set by the gate voltages and external magnetic field. In this work we discuss the effects of the Zeeman spin splitting which is generically present both in the quantum dot and in the (thin-film) superconductor. The unequal $g$-factors in semiconductor and superconductor materials result in respective Zeeman splittings of different magnitude. We consider both classical and quantum impurities. In the first case we analytically study the spectral function and the sub-gap states. The energy of bound states depends on the spin-splitting of the Bogoliubov quasiparticle bands as a simple rigid shift. For the case of collinear magnetization of impurity and host, the Shiba resonance of a given spin polarization remains unperturbed when it overlaps with the branch of the quasiparticle excitations of the opposite spin polarization. In the quantum case, we employ numerical renormalization group calculations to study the effect of the Zeeman field for different values of the $g$-factors of the impurity and of the superconductor. We find that in general the critical magnetic field for the singlet-doublet transition changes non-monotonically as a function of the superconducting gap, demonstrating the existence of two different transition mechanisms: Zeeman splitting of Shiba states or gap closure due to Zeeman splitting of Bogoliubov states. We also study how in the presence of spin-orbit coupling, modeled as an additional non-collinear component of the magnetic field at the impurity site, the Shiba resonance overlapping with the quasiparticle continuum of the opposite spin gradually broadens and then merges with the continuum.

description: This is an account of preliminary work looking at how Datooga speakers negotiate knowledge in their everyday conversation. Linguistic resources associated with knowing and not knowing will be examined (specifically, questions and the epistemic particle néada) as they are used in everyday interaction, particularly among children. From a linguistic perspective, examination of this data is a treatment of a particular set of linguistic resources and how they are used. From an anthropological perspective, this talk asks questions about the extent to which Datooga children's use of these linguistic resources says something about how they understand social organization.

New Formulas for Amplitudes from Higher-Dimensional Operators

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: In this paper we study tree-level amplitudes from higher-dimensional operators, including $F^3$ operator of gauge theory, and $R^2$, $R^3$ operators of gravity, in the Cachazo-He-Yuan formulation. As a generalization of the reduced Pfaffian in Yang-Mills theory, we find a new, gauge-invariant object that leads to gluon amplitudes with a single insertion of $F^3$, and gravity amplitudes by Kawai-Lewellen-Tye relations. When reduced to four dimensions for given helicities, the new object vanishes for any solution of scattering equations on which the reduced Pfaffian is non-vanishing. This intriguing behavior in four dimensions explains the vanishing of graviton helicity amplitudes produced by the Gauss-Bonnet $R^2$ term, and provides a scattering-equation origin of the decomposition into self-dual and anti-self-dual parts for $F^3$ and $R^3$ amplitudes.

Investigations toward the catalytic application of low-oxidation state, low-coordinate heavier group 14 element complexes
Creators: name: Hadlington, Terrance John
Publisher: name: Monash University

description: Chapter 1 gives a brief overview of the concepts key to low-oxidation state main-group chemistry. This covers oxidation state and electronic configuration, bonding in the heavier alkenes and alkynes, kinetic stabilisation, and reductive routes to low-oxidation state element complexes. Chapter 2 summarises bulky ligands commonly used in the kinetic stabilisation of low-oxidation state element species, and the synthesis of group 14 element(II) halide complexes, which act as precursors to further low-oxidation state chemistry. Following from this, the synthesis of novel bulky monodentate amide ligands is discussed, as is their utilisation in the synthesis of group 14 element(II) halide precursors. Chapter 3 investigates the use of the aforementioned group 14 element(II) halide precursors in the synthesis of amido-substituted heavier alkyne analogues (i.e. LEEL, E = Ge and Sn), and the reactivity thereof. These reactivity studies cover H₂ activation, CO₂ reduction, and cycloaddition/insertion reactions, involving reversible processes and CH-activation. The activation of H₂ led to the isolation of group 14 element(II) hydride species, which have been shown to be in equilibrium with monomeric hydride species in solution (i.e. hydrido tetrelenes). Further increasing the ligand’s bulk led to the solid-state characterisation of two examples of monomeric amido Ge(II) hydride species. Chapter 4 presents the further reactivity of the aforementioned group 14 element(II) hydride species. This culminated in the synthesis of numerous amido alkyl and amido alkoxy germylenes and stannylenes through hydroelementation of aldehydes, ketones, and alkenes. The addition to alkenes was found, in some cases, to be reversible, and led to examples of alkene isomerisation at a Ge(II) centre. Chapter 5 addresses the use of group 14 element(II) species in catalysis, initially through stoichiometric studies involving germylenes and stannylenes discussed in Chapter 4. The efficient hydroboration of aldehydes and ketones is described, catalysed by Ge(II) and Sn(II) hydride complexes (i.e. those described in Chapter 3), with the mechanism of reaction studied through in depth kinetic experiments and DFT analyses. The efficient hydroboration of CO₂ was also achieved, with rates comparable to those achieved for transition-metal systems. The mechanism of this reaction has been elucidated to some degree through stoichiometric reactivity studies. Chapter 6 describes the synthesis of a novel boryl amide ligand, and its use in the stabilisation of low-oxidation state group 14 compounds. This largely acts as a comparison between the electronics and sterics of this ligand and those seen in Chapters 2-5, and as such highlights the importance in understanding how reactivities involved in this thesis can be affected through ligand modification.

Cranial reconstruction of Palorchestes azael
Creators: name: Trusler, Peter William
Publisher: name: Monash University

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Members of the Family Palorchestidae, are a rare and distinctive component of the Australian Cenozoic fossil fauna. The Pleistocene Palorchestes azael, was the first palorchestid species described from fragments discovered in 1851, but only in 2000 has near complete cranial material been recovered, from which a full external and internal cranial description and an accurate reconstruction could be made. This study documents the reconstruction in detailed, measured, half-tone artworks for the species. Collection surveys for comparative material has enabled the first complete cranial reconstruction for the Mid Miocene Propalorchestes novaculacephalus and the presentation of new assembled material for P. painei, P. parvus and P. pickeringi, allowing the first descriptive review of the cranial morphology of the family Palorchestidae. The distinctive retracted nasal morphology in the Palorchestidae is revealed, noting the changes that are now known to have occurred throughout their radiation. The reconstructed skull of Palorchestes azael and its related species presented here, provides an important and unique test of the correlates for a vestibular proboscis of some kind, from outside the placental lineages. There is strong support for a well-developed prehensile lip in P. azael. There is limited support for a vestibular proboscis. Many of the osteological correlates for proboscis building as defined by Clifford (2003) are lacking. Both the form and distribution of the correlates identified, negate the superficial appearance of the tapirod-like skull of P. azael and the conformation of the retracted nasal morphology of P. azael rules out the presence of a muscular proboscis of the kind seen in Tapirus. There is limited evidence for novel narial elaboration in the Palorchestidae, but beyond that, further remarks on possible structures and functions would be speculative.

description: Many advantages have been demonstrated for continuous flow chemistry in comparison with batch chemistry; such as easy automation, high level of reproducibility, improved safety, and process reliability. Indeed, with continuous flow processes constant reaction parameters such as temperature, time, amount of reagents, catalyst, solvents, efficient mixing etc. can easily be assured. The research detailed in this PhD thesis takes advantages of flow chemistry applying it to the Fukuyama reduction, oxazolidine nitroxyl radical oxidations, photoredox catalysis, and biodiesel production.

System reliability optimisation via quantifying uncertainty

description: Improving system reliability is becoming an important criterion for engineering industries. In addition to its importance, reliability improvement imposes cost on industries. Therefore, a balance should be found between system reliability and system cost. System reliability optimisation (SRO) models are helpful in reaching this goal. In this study, an approach is proposed to translate system reliability into financial terms. This translation is used to develop mathematical models in order to evaluate and optimise systems. As a result, optimal decisions are found in terms of both reliability improvement and cost reduction. The system structure, for which models are developed, is a multi-state weighted k-out-of-n system with repairable components. Since the reliability of components varies over time, the developed mathematical models simulate the dynamic behaviour of the system over operational periods discretely. Thus, new system reliability evaluation and optimisation models have been presented in this thesis. As another goal, uncertainty associated with system reliability assessment is considered in optimisation models. Linguistic terms of Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) are used for system reliability assessment when there is not sufficient data. Based on the qualitative data, an evaluation and optimisation model is proposed to quantify the uncertainty.
