description: Bacterial adhesion is a fundamental process which enables colonisation of niche environments and is key for infection. However, in Legionella pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaires' disease, these processes are not well understood. The Legionella collagen-like protein (Lcl) is an extracellular peripheral membrane protein that recognises sulphated glycosaminoglycans on the surface of eukaryotic cells, but also stimulates bacterial aggregation in response to divalent cations. Here we report the crystal structure of the Lcl C-terminal domain (Lcl-CTD) and present a model for intact Lcl. Our data reveal that Lcl-CTD forms an unusual trimer arrangement with a positively charged external surface and negatively charged solvent exposed internal cavity. Through molecular dynamics simulations, we show how the glycosaminoglycan chondroitin-4-sulphate associates with the Lcl-CTD surface via distinct binding modes. Our findings show that Lcl homologs are present across both the Pseudomonadota and Fibrobacterota-Chlorobiota-Bacteroidota phyla and suggest that Lcl may represent a versatile carbohydrate-binding mechanism.

description: The ability to reversibly toggle between two distinct states in a non-volatile method is important for information storage applications. Such devices have been realized for phase-change materials, which utilizes local heating methods to toggle between a crystalline and an amorphous state with distinct electrical properties. To expand such kind of switching between two topologically distinct phases requires non-volatile switching between two crystalline phases with distinct symmetries. Here we report the observation of reversible and non-volatile switching between two stable and closely-related crystal structures with remarkably distinct electronic structures in the near room temperature van der Waals ferromagnet Fe$_{5-δ}$GeTe$_2$. From a combination of characterization techniques we show that the switching is enabled by the ordering and disordering of an Fe site vacancy that results in distinct crystalline symmetries of the two phases that can be controlled by a thermal annealing and quenching method. Furthermore, from symmetry analysis as well as first principle calculations, we provide understanding of the key distinction in the observed electronic structures of the two phases: topological nodal lines compatible with the preserved global inversion symmetry in the site-disordered phase, and flat bands resulting from quantum destructive interference on a bipartite crystaline lattice formed by the presence of the site order as well as the lifting of the topological degeneracy due to the broken inversion symmetry in the site-ordered phase. Our work not only reveals a rich variety of quantum phases emergent in the metallic van der Waals ferromagnets due to the presence of site ordering, but also demonstrates the potential of these highly tunable two-dimensional magnets for memory and spintronics applications.

description: This thesis aims to develop an integrated approach to quantifying flood risk, which can evaluate flood impacts' damage to communities and determine the best nature-based solutions (NBS) to effectively mitigate flood impacts for the study area. It was found that afforestation is the most suitable NBS for mitigating floods in the study area. The methodology developed in this research can be adopted as a blueprint to ensure practical and effective flood mitigation measures are implemented within flood-prone areas. Therefore, the findings of this project could contribute to minimising losses of lives and infrastructures in the catchments prone to flood.

description: Referring to solution programs written by other users is helpful for learners in programming education. However, current online judge systems just list all solution programs submitted by users for references, and the programs are sorted based on the submission date and time, execution time, or user rating, ignoring to what extent the programs can be helpful to be referenced. In addition, users struggle to refer to a variety of solution approaches since there are too many duplicated and near-duplicated programs. To motivate learners to refer to various solutions to learn better solution approaches, in this paper, we propose an approach to deduplicate and rank common solution programs in each programming problem. Inspired by the nature that the many-duplicated program adopts a more common approach and can be a general reference, we remove the near-duplicated solution programs and rank the unique programs based on the duplicate count. The experiments on the solution programs submitted to a real-world online judge system demonstrate that the number of programs is reduced by 60.20%, whereas the baseline only reduces by 29.59% after the deduplication, meaning that users only need to refer to 39.80% of programs on average. Furthermore, our analysis shows that top-10 ranked programs cover 29.95% of programs on average, indicating that users can grasp 29.95% of solution approaches by referring to only 10 programs. The proposed approach shows the potential of reducing the learners' burden of referring to too many solutions and motivating them to learn a variety of solution approaches.

description: This paper takes a critical approach to health technology assessment. Such an approach makes central the social, economic and political contexts in which health technologies are embedded. The task of this paper is to make explicit the hidden assumptions about aging women's bodies that drive the use of BMD testing. Primarily, it challenges the medical model of the aging female body as a diseased body, and questions the use of marketing strategies which create and capitalize on women's fear of aging. Finally, the paper raises questions about the ethical implications of proliferating technologies for economic and political motives at the expense of women's own needs and interests.

description: Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) is the process of obtaining appliance-level data from a single metering point, measuring total electricity consumption of a household or a business. Appliance-level data can be directly used for demand response applications and energy management systems as well as for awareness raising and motivation for improvements in energy efficiency. Recently, classical machine learning and deep learning (DL) techniques became very popular and proved as highly effective for NILM classification, but with the growing complexity these methods are faced with significant computational and energy demands during both their training and operation. In this paper, we introduce a novel DL model aimed at enhanced multi-label classification of NILM with improved computation and energy efficiency. We also propose an evaluation methodology for comparison of different models using data synthesized from the measurement datasets so as to better represent real-world scenarios. Compared to the state-of-the-art, the proposed model has its energy consumption reduced by more than 23% while providing on average approximately 8 percentage points in performance improvement when evaluating on data derived from REFIT and UK-DALE datasets. We also show a 12 percentage point performance advantage of the proposed DL based model over a random forest model and observe performance degradation with the increase of the number of devices in the household, namely with each additional 5 devices, the average performance degrades by approximately 7 percentage points.

description: Recent studies identified spin-order-driven phenomena such as spin-charge interconversion without relying on the relativistic spin-orbit interaction. Those physical properties can be prominent in systems containing light magnetic atoms due to sizable exchange splitting and may pave the way for realization of giant responses correlated with the spin degree of freedom. In this paper, we present a systematic symmetry analysis based on the spin crystallographic groups and identify the physical property of a vast number of magnetic materials up to 1500 in total. By decoupling the spin and orbital degrees of freedom, our analysis enables us to take a closer look into the relation between the dimensionality of spin structures and the resultant physical properties and to identify the spin and orbital contributions separately. In stark contrast to the established analysis with magnetic space groups, the spin crystallographic group manifests richer symmetry including spin-translation symmetry and leads to emergent responses. For representative examples, we discuss the geometrical nature of the anomalous Hall effect and magnetoelectric effect and classify the spin Hall effect arising from the nonrelativistic spin-charge coupling. Using the power of computational analysis, we apply our symmetry analysis to a wide range of magnets, encompassing complex magnets such as those with noncoplanar spin structures as well as collinear and coplanar magnets. We identify emergent multipoles relevant to physical responses and argue that our method provides a systematic tool for exploring sizable electromagnetic responses driven by spin order.

Banking on the Frontier : Notes on Early Banking in British Columbia
Creators: name: Shearer, Ronald Alexander, 1932-
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Two banks chartered in Britain began banking in British Columbia during the gold rush: the Bank of British North America opened in Victoria in 1859 and the Bank of British Columbia in 1862. These banks were required to make quarterly reports of assets and liabilities to the colonial government and they continued to report after British Columbia became a province of Canada. One result is a 20-year run of quarterly data on two banks that operated in a relatively isolated, economically unstable gold mining region. The paper uses these data to analyze aspects of the banking operations of these firms. The balance sheet data permit the estimation of a money supply series for the region in the years 1864-1885. This series provides an index of fluctuations in the economy. It reveals a very unstable economy, affected both by the international business cycle and local macroeconomic forces emanating from the ebb and flow of the gold rush and preliminaries for the construction of the transcontinental railway. The data also permit the estimation of demand for cash reserve functions. Given a legal cash reserve requirement in both the banks’ charters and colonial legislation, estimates are reported for the demand for excess cash reserves. The preliminary evidence suggests that the banks worked to a target level of cash reserves that changed over time rather than the target reserve ratio beloved by monetary economists. Fluctuations in the circulation of banknotes and payment for purchases of raw gold with gold coin produced departures from the desired level of reserves. Deficiencies elicited the importation of coin from San Francisco. In normal banking operations after the ebb of the gold rush the two banks followed very different strategies. Initially the inexperienced Bank of British Columbia committed almost all of its capital to its speculative venture in British Columbia. The collapse of the gold rush and injudicious lending brought it to the brink of failure. It retrenched and withdrew a substantial amount of capital to the relative safety of London, but it remained committed to banking in British Columbia. It became the primary source of commercial loans and circulating money for the province. The larger, older, more experienced and widely diversified Bank of British North America allocated but a token amount of capital to British Columbia. After the gold rush it provided some banking services to the province but primarily collected savings for investment by offices abroad. Both banks opened offices in San Francisco and Portland in this period. Available balance sheets suggest they were important components of the California banking system. For the Bank of British North America these were additional offices in a continent-wide banking organization. For the Bank of British Columbia they represented important diversification of an otherwise dangerously specialized banking organization.

The solution is constructed by employing the ordinary matching-of-wavefunctions technique. For the special choices of $a$, $a=4\ell$ ($\ell=1,2,\ldots$), the wavefunctions can be expressed by the Hermite polynomials. Moreover, we explore isospectral deformations of the potential via the Darboux transformation. In this context, infinitely many isospectral Hamiltonians to the ordinary harmonic oscillator are obtained.

description: In psychology, a growing number of scientists have raised concerns about how reproducible and replicable the results described by different research groups are (Open Science Collaboration, 2015, Kleinet al., 2018). These concerns have also reached the neuroscience community, and some have argued that the complexity of neuroimaging analyses and lack of consensus on optimal analysis processing steps (i.e., pipelines) of the data leads to many degrees of freedom and a high risk of “overfitting”, causing variability of results (Poldrack et al., 2017, Pavlov et al., 2021). A recent empirical investigation where different research teams analysed the same fMRI dataset confirmed considerable variability in outcomes due to different analytic choices along the process (Botvinik-Nezer et al. 2020). Regarding EEG research, studies have investigated the extent to which the change of one or more preprocessing steps may alter the final results (Robbins et al. 2020) and how experimenters’ degrees of freedom can lead to unreliable outcomes (Luck and Gaspelin, 2017). However, it is still unknown to which extent different EEG analysis practices by different research groups “in the wild” affect final results given the same dataset and same hypotheses. To tackle this highly pressing question the EEGManyPipelinesproject (https://www.eegmanypipelines.org/) was founded, which aims to investigate how different analysts (i.e. a broad spectrum of research groups) approach the same research question using the same dataset. The project primarily and foremost will investigate different practices and the effect these different analysis strategies have on the result and provide suggestions for future analysis practices.

description: In this study, we have explored a scalar field cosmological model in the axially symmetric Bianchi type-I universe. In this study, our aim is to constrain the scalar field dark energy model in an anisotropic background. For this purpose, the explicit solution of the developed field equations for the model is determined and analysed. Constraints on the cosmological model parameters are established utilizing Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) analysis and using the latest observational data sets of OHD, BAO, and Pantheon. For the combined dataset (OHD, BAO, and Pantheon), the best-fit values of Hubble and density parameters are estimated as $ H_{0} = 71.54\pm 0.28$, $Ω_{m0}=0.2622\pm0.0021$ $Ω_{\phi0} = 0.7331\pm0.0046$, and $Ω_{σ0} = 0.000162\pm0.000063$. The model shows a flipping nature and redshift transition occurs at $z_{t} = 0.6964^{+0.0136}_{-0.0006}$, and the present value of decelerated parameter is computed to be $q_{0} = -0.6964\pm0.028$ for the combined dataset. We have explored characteristics like the universe's age, particle horizon, deceleration parameter, and jerk parameter. The dynamical properties such as energy density $ρ_ϕ$, scalar field pressure $p_ϕ$, and equation of state parameter $ω_ϕ$ are analyzed and presented. We have also described the behavior of the scalar potential $V(ϕ)$ and scalar fields. Furthermore, the authors also described the behavior of energy conditions in scalar-tensor cosmology. The scenario of the present accelerated expansion of the universe is described by the contribution of the scalar field.

description: To investigate the fundamental limit to far-field incoherent imaging, the prequels to this work [M. Tsang, Phys. Rev. A 99, 012305 (2019); 104, 052411 (2021)] have studied a quantum lower bound on the error of estimating an object moment and proved a scaling law for the bound with respect to the object size. As the scaling law was proved only in the asymptotic limit of vanishing object size, this work performs a numerical analysis of the quantum bound to verify that the law works well for nonzero object sizes in reality. We also use the numerical bounds to study the optimality of a measurement called spatial-mode demultiplexing or SPADE, showing that SPADE not only follows the scaling but is also numerically close to being optimal, at least for low-order moments.

Variation in the Aboriginal material culture of the Alligator Rivers region
Creators: name: Hodgson, Robin Ruth
Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University

description: This is a study of material culture variation within the Alligator Rivers region of the Northern Territory. Variation in Australian Aboriginal material culture has usually been assessed by analysing differences between regions. This study aims to explore objects from specific localities within a region. The thesis addresses the question of whether there is intra-regional variation, and if so, how it is manifest. Factors affecting this are considered to determine if local, intra-regional or inter-regional influences are of more significance to the attribute compositions of local assemblages. The relevance of local analogies is also explored in the context of archaeological studies. The aims are achieved through an investigation of ethnographic and ethnobotanical information allied to an analysis of the distribution of component attributes of artefacts in museums and archaeological sites. It was found that significant variation in material culture did occur between localities. The different emphases were found to be intimately connected with raw materials used which had consequences for manufacturing techniques practised: Locally available raw materials were more likely to be used. When the relative importance of local, intra-regional and inter-regional influences were considered, it was found that local influences were of primary importance, intra-regional influences were of secondary importance and inter-regional influences were of minimal significance. The social significance of the latter items increased with distance from the source and tended to be items connected with the male domains of ceremony and warfare. When patterns of attribute distribution were compared with archaeological findings in the region they were found to be broadly similar. This suggested there was continuity in the influences affecting the indigenous material culture between early historic and proto-historic times. There were however found to be some dissimilarities in the use and distribution of shell and in the stylistic features of barbed wooden spears. These differences were found to be related to methodological issues or intervening historical events. The use of the museum collection in the manner described was found to be integral to the findings of this thesis.

description: Fluorescence microscopy, widely used in the study of living cells, tissues, and organisms, often faces the challenge of photodamage. This is primarily caused by the interaction between light and biochemical components during the imaging process, leading to compromised accuracy and reliability of biological results. Methods necessitating extended high-intensity illumination, such as super-resolution microscopy or thick sample imaging, are particularly susceptible to this issue. As part of the solution to these problems, advanced imaging approaches involving artificial intelligence (AI) have been developed. Here we underscore the necessity of establishing constraints to maintain light-induced damage at levels that permit cells to sustain their live behaviour. From this perspective, data-driven live-cell imaging bears significant potential in aiding the development of AI-enhanced photodamage-aware microscopy. These technologies could streamline precise observations of natural biological dynamics while minimising phototoxicity risks.

description: Intertwined environmental, economic, political, and social challenges require
 transdisciplinarity, systems thinking and facilitation of informed action in an era of
 uncertainty and rapid change. Yet, our formal education is still largely based on the
 transmission of neatly packed disciplinary bodies of knowledge, presented as
 unambiguous truths. How we learn to see the world strongly influences what we do in
 the world. Consequently, there is an urgent need to re-think education and shift the
 overall focus in education from theoretical knowledge alone to the competences that
 are needed to support sustainable development. To meet such a demand, the work
 package two of the Nextfood project has explored relevant educational approaches,
 and built them into an overall Nextfood approach to education in agrifood and forestry
 systems. Such an overview can serve as a source of inspiration to HEI’s that are
 interested in educational transformation.
 The first chapter provides an overview of the challenges that we face regarding
 sustainable development of agrifood and forestry systems, and the necessary
 educational response. Chapter two presents what it means to learn from experience,
 emphasising the importance of action for learning. In chapter three the overall focus of
 the educational approach of Nextfood is described in more detail, emphasising the new
 roles of teachers, students and stakeholders in the learning landscape. The core
 sustainability competences included in the Nextfood approach is described more in
 depth in chapter four, and chapter five provides a condensed overview of systems
 thinking for practice. In chapter six, institutional prerequisites for the necessary
 educational transformation is presented. Chapter seven contains an overview of the
 changes that are necessary for a shift towards the Nextfood approach, and chapter
 eight provides an outline of what the Nextfood approach in education will require from
 teachers, students and institutions.
Bijective Density-Equalizing Quasiconformal Map for Multiply-Connected Open Surfaces

description: This paper proposes a novel method for computing bijective density-equalizing quasiconformal (DEQ) flattening maps for multiply-connected open surfaces. In conventional density-equalizing maps, shape deformations are solely driven by prescribed constraints on the density distribution, defined as the population per unit area, while the bijectivity and local geometric distortions of the mappings are uncontrolled. Also, prior methods have primarily focused on simply-connected open surfaces but not surfaces with more complicated topologies. Our proposed method overcomes these issues by formulating the density diffusion process as a quasiconformal flow, which allows us to effectively control the local geometric distortion and guarantee the bijectivity of the mapping by solving an energy minimization problem involving the Beltrami coefficient of the mapping. To achieve an optimal parameterization of multiply-connected surfaces, we develop an iterative scheme that optimizes both the shape of the target planar circular domain and the density-equalizing quasiconformal map onto it. In addition, landmark constraints can be incorporated into our proposed method for consistent feature alignment. The method can also be naturally applied to simply-connected open surfaces. By changing the prescribed population, a large variety of surface flattening maps with different desired properties can be achieved. The method is tested on both synthetic and real examples, demonstrating its efficacy in various applications in computer graphics and medical imaging.
