description: We present updated metallicity relations for the spectral database of star-forming galaxies (SFGs) found in the KPNO International Spectroscopic Survey (KISS). New spectral observations of emission-line galaxies (ELGs) obtained from a variety of telescope facilities provide oxygen abundance information. A nearly four-fold increase in the number of KISS objects with robust metallicities relative to our previous analysis provides for an empirical abundance calibration to compute self-consistent metallicity estimates for all SFGs in the sample with adequate spectral data. In addition, a sophisticated spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting routine has provided robust calculations of stellar mass. With these new and/or improved galaxy characteristics, we have developed luminosity-metallicity ($L$-$Z$) relations, mass-metallicity ($M_{*}$-$Z$) relations, and the so-called Fundamental Metallicity Relation (FMR) for over 1,450 galaxies from the KISS sample. This KISS $M_{*}$-$Z$ relation is presented for the first time and demonstrates markedly lower scatter than the KISS $L$-$Z$ relation. We find that our relations agree reasonably well with previous publications, modulo modest offsets due to differences in the SEL metallicity calibrations used. We illustrate an important bias present in previous $L$-$Z$ and $M_{*}$-$Z$ studies involving direct-method ($T_{e}$) abundances that may result in systematically lower slopes in these relations. Our KISS FMR shows consistency with those found in the literature, albeit with a larger scatter. This is likely a consequence of the KISS sample being biased toward galaxies with high levels of activity.

description: Self-irradiation damages resulting from fission processes are common phenomena observed in nuclear fuel containing (NFC) materials. Numerous $α$-decays lead to local structure transformations in NFC materials. The damages appearing due to the impacts of heavy nuclear recoils in the subsurface layer can cause detachments of material particles. Such a behaviour is similar to sputtering processes observed during a bombardment of the material surface by a flux of energetic particles. However, in the NFC material, the impacts are initiated from the bulk. In this work we propose a two-dimensional mesoscopic model to perform a stochastic simulation of the destruction processes occurring in a subsurface region of NFC material. We describe the erosion of the material surface, the evolution of its roughness and predict the detachment of the material particles. Size distributions of the emitted particles are obtained in this study. The simulation results of the model are in a qualitative agreement with the size histogram of particles produced from the material containing lava-like fuel formed during the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster.

Factors influencing the use of digital technologies in transforming learning practices
Creators: name: Sandford, Lynette
Publisher: name: Australian Cathollic University

description: This is an age where information is accessed, shared and communicated in new and increasingly different ways. Students have more access at home to digital devices and their applications than ever before and are entering school much more digitally literate. However, there remain many primary school teachers who are applying Information Communication Technology (ICT) in the classroom, but are not yet integrating it into classroom practice in a way that will transform learning. ICT continues to be used in ways that support current pedagogical practice rather than transform their practice. Despite the expectations of government, school systems and society to develop 21st century learning skills through ICT integration, this is not being realized. Teachers’ slow uptake of pedagogical practices required to transform learning is still widespread and, considering the increase of digital devices in primary schools, remains an issue of concern. This study explores ICT integration and transformative practices of five primary school teachers. It examines the complex set of factors that influence transformative learning practices at two Sydney Catholic schools. The study identifies lack of time, teacher attitudes and beliefs, the level of ICT resourcing and teachers’ knowledge and skills of ICT pedagogical practice as the four major factors influencing transformative ICT practices. The study concludes that taking advantage of teachers’ positive attitudes to drive transformative learning practices using digital pedagogies is best supported by strategically planned opportunities providing time for teachers’ personal learning as well as professional development. Furthermore, it concludes that knowledge and skills development of ICT pedagogical practices that actively engage students in creating knowledge to transform learning is enhanced in Stage 2 classrooms by an increase in the number of devices available to students and teachers to support opportunities for teacher professional learning and importantly support the implementation of transformative learning experiences for students.

description: Mohawk Dam, part of the Muskingum basin flood control system, was built in 1938 and is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps). Since this high-hazard dam could not survive a probable maximum flood (PMF), the Corps conducted a study to determine the least expensive means of enabling the dam to survive a PMF. Applying a previously proposed framework to select the social cost minimizing capacity of a dam, we show that Mohawk Dam had sufficient capacity that any retrofit has a social cost larger than expected benefits. Sensitivity analyses were performed adjusting the peak flow distribution, the costs of modification, and downstream flood damage, as well as the possibility of loss of life. For any reasonable value of these variables the conclusion does not change that the structure already met so high a safety goal regarding extreme floods that no retrofit is needed. Using risk-based methods to perform reservoir safety evaluations, as recommended by a National Research Council committee in 1985, is indeed feasible. Furthermore, their use provides valuable insight and guidance into the selection of strategies to enhance the safety of dams.

description: It was at the dawn of the historical developments of quantum mechanics when Schrödinger, Kennard and Darwin proposed an interesting type of Gaussian wave packets, which do not spread out while evolving in time. Originally, these wave packets are the prototypes of the renowned discovery, which are familiar as coherent states today. Coherent states are inevitable in the study of almost all areas of modern science, and the rate of progress of the subject is astonishing nowadays. Nonclassical states constitute one of the distinguished branches of coherent states having applications in various subjects including quantum information processing, quantum optics, quantum superselection principles and mathematical physics. On the other hand, the compelling advancements of non-Hermitian systems and related areas have been appealing, which became popular with the seminal paper by Bender and Boettcher in 1998. The subject of non-Hermitian Hamiltonian systems possessing real eigenvalues are exploding day by day and combining with almost all other subjects rapidly, in particular, in the areas of quantum optics, lasers and condensed matter systems, where one finds ample successful experiments for the proposed theory. For this reason, the study of coherent states for non-Hermitian systems have been very important. In this article, we review the recent developments of coherent and nonclassical states for such systems and discuss their applications and usefulness in different contexts of physics. In addition, since the systems considered here originate from the broader context of the study of minimal uncertainty relations, our review is also of interest to the mathematical physics community.

subject: Requirements engineering

description: Companies leverage personalization techniques to tailor user experiences. Personalization ap- pears in search engines and online stores, which include salutations and statistically learned correlations over search-, browsing- and purchase-histories. However, users have a wider variety of substantive, domain-specific preferences that influence their choices when they use directory services, and these have largely been overlooked or ignored. Specifically, users have preferences about what they are looking for, and are using services with varying levels of personalization to aid in discovering their things of interest. In the realm of requirements engineering, requirement analysts endeavor to gather, comprehend, and prioritize requirements, with an important fo- cus on stakeholder preferences and needs, employing diverse requirement elicitation techniques. Advances in Machine Learning (ML) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) have revolu- tionized the way people understand and interact with natural language, and opened up new opportunities to enhance and automate various facets of requirements engineering, including stakeholder preference elicitation.The thesis aims to explore the potential of NLP techniques to enhance and automate stake- holder preference elicitation practices. Specifically, we demonstrate the following NLP-assisted preference elicitation methods: 1) we study the efficacy of extracting domain knowledge from user-authored scenarios using typed dependency parsing techniques, and from word embed- dings using a BERT-based Masked Language Model (MLM); 2) we research on how stakeholder preferences are expressed in text scenarios, whether elicited preferences represent missing re- quirements in existing systems, and how we may use named entity recognition techniques to build classifiers to label preference words in scenarios and link them to form preference phrases; 3) we build a tool to support and improve preference elicitation practices in interviews by using various NLP techniques, including MLM, transformers, speech-to-text transcription, and part- of-speech tagging. We also propose to build on and improve existing research findings with Large Language Models (LLM). The expected outcome of the thesis is to shed light on how NLP can be integrated into existing requirement elicitation practices to enhance and enrich them, while advancing our understanding about how stakeholder preference may be elicited more effectively and comprehensively.

description: We examine the life cycle implications of a wide range of fuels and propulsion systems that could power cars and light trucks in the US and Canada over the next two to three decades ((1) reformulated gasoline and diesel, (2) compressed natural gas, (3) methanol and ethanol, (4) liquid petroleum gas, (5) liquefied natural gas, (6) Fischer–Tropsch liquids from natural gas, (7) hydrogen, and (8) electricity; (a) spark ignition port injection engines, (b) spark ignition direct injection engines, (c) compression ignition engines, (d) electric motors with battery power, (e) hybrid electric propulsion options, and (f) fuel cells). We review recent studies to evaluate the environmental, performance, and cost characteristics of fuel/propulsion technology combinations that are currently available or will be available in the next few decades. Only options that could power a significant proportion of the personal transportation fleet are investigated. Contradictions among the goals of customers, manufacturers, and society have led society to assert control through extensive regulation of fuel composition, vehicle emissions, and fuel economy. Changes in social goals, fuel-engine-emissions technologies, fuel availability, and customer desires require a rethinking of current regulations as well as the design of vehicles and fuels that will appeal to consumers over the next decades.
Postulating consumers : how marketers conceptualise consumers in the era of big data analytics

description: The proliferation of big data analytics in marketing appears to be having significant effects on the field, such as changing how marketers perceive their consumers and how they act on them. As I discuss in my research, marketers are not satisfied to work solely with approximate, imagined conceptualisations of consumers as a basis for advertisements and offers. Instead, they are looking for exact virtual data doubles of existing and potential consumers, which is something they hope to achieve through big data analytics. In my thesis, I explore the question of how and why marketers conceptualise consumers differently when using big data analytics compared with traditional market and consumer research methods. This is embedded in the theory of the co-production of knowledge and empirically relies on interviews with marketers and data analysts, case studies, and participant observations at industry conferences. In my research, I show to what extent the idea of the data double consumer conceptualisation is considered an ideal case for marketers, and that it is believed to be made possible through big data analytics, which is expected to create an exact knowledge about consumers. However, my findings show that in practice, big data analytics should be considered a sociotechnical assemblage that produces knowledge which contains inaccuracies, errors and uncertainties. Knowledge about consumers is not just discovered – neither through traditional market and consumer research methods nor through big data analytics. Instead, it is the outcome of a co-production that involves different steps, individuals, teams, normativities, and technologies. Hence, knowledge about consumers is never an exact representation of reality, irrespective of its methods of production. Consequently, consumer conceptualisations expected to be exact data doubles cannot be attained. Instead, postulations are established that are believed to be accurate, without having actual proof. Yet, my findings show that knowledge resulting from big data analytics has a higher credibility and epistemic authority amongst the participants, explaining the persistence of the data double consumer conceptualisation in digital marketing.

Investigating the neuroprotective effects of leptin and leptin fragment on mitochondrial morphology, function and survival signalling in neurodegenerative models

description: Mitochondrial dysfunction has a recognized role in the pathophysiology of neurodegeneration, including ischemic stroke and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Compelling evidence shows that leptin prevents neuronal apoptosis and enhances cognition in AD models, and a bioactive fragment, leptin₁₁₆₋₁₃₀, mirrors the neuroprotective actions of leptin. However, their effects with relation to mitochondrial function in neurodegeneration and the receptor binding of leptin₁₁₆₋₁₃₀ remain largely unknown. Based on a combined glucose-serum deprivation (CGSD) model of ischaemic stroke in human SH-SY5Y cells and an Aβ₄₂-treatment model of AD in mouse hippocampal HT-22 cells, it is shown within the thesis that leptin alleviates excessive mitochondrial fragmentation by inhibiting fission protein Fis1 and increasing fusion protein Mfn2. Leptin improves mitochondrial function through enhancing mitochondrial membrane potential and inhibiting monoamine oxidase (MAO) that is involved in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Furthermore, it is found that 17β-HSD10 is a molecular target of leptin in mitochondria by showing that leptin inhibits both the expression and activity of 17β-HSD10. Leptin and the inhibition of 17β-HSD10 rebalance energy metabolism through improving neuronal glucose uptake. Notably, leptin-mediated inhibition of 17β-HSD10 is associated with better episodic memory. Both leptin and leptin116-130 decrease ROS generation and promote neuron survival in oxidative stress-induced wildtype neurons, whereas only leptin₁₁₆₋₁₃₀ retains its neuroprotective effects in leptin receptor (ObR) knockdown neurons, suggesting that actions of leptin₁₁₆₋₁₃₀ are in a ObR-independent manner. In conclusion, leptin’s established neuroprotective actions may, at least in part, be facilitated through regulating mitochondrial function and morphology. Inhibited mitochondrial 17β-HSD10 contributes to leptin’s procognitive role. The receptor binding of leptin₁₁₆₋₁₃₀ is not restricted to the ObR activation, suggesting the potential application of leptin₁₁₆₋₁₃₀ in leptin resistant individuals. These findings provide more robust evidence to support that leptin system is a potential therapeutic target in AD.

description: Background: Providing alcohol screening and brief advice (SBA) in primary health care (PHC) can be an effective measure to reduce alcohol consumption. To aid successful implementation in an upper middle-income country context, this study investigates the perceived appropriateness
of the programme and the perceived barriers to its implementation in PHC settings in three Latin American countries: Colombia, Mexico and Peru, as part of larger implementation study (SCALA).
Methods: An online survey based on the Tailored Implementation for Chronic Diseases (TICD) implementation framework was disseminated in the three countries to key stakeholders with experience in the topic and/or setting (both health professionals and other roles, for
example regional health administrators and national experts). In total, 55 respondents participated (66% response rate). For responses to both appropriateness and barriers questions, frequencies were computed, and country comparisons were made using Chi square and Kruskal–Wallis non-parametric tests. Results: Alcohol SBA was seen as an appropriate programme to reduce heavy alcohol use in PHC and a range of providers were considered suitable for its delivery, such as general practitioners, nurses, psychologists and social workers. Contextual factors such as patients’ normalised perception of their heavy drinking, lack of on-going support for providers, difficulty of accessing referral services and lenient alcohol control laws were the highest rated barriers. Country differences were found for two barriers: Peruvian respondents rated SBA guidelines as
less clear than Mexican (Mann–Whitney U = -18.10, P = 0.001), and more strongly indicated lack of available screening instruments than Colombian (Mann–Whitney U = -12.82, P = 0.035) and Mexican respondents (Mann–Whitney U = -13.56, P = 0.018).
Conclusions: The study shows the need to address contextual factors for successful implementation of SBA
in practice. General congruence between the countries suggests that similar approaches can be used to encourage widespread implementation of SBA in all three studied countries, with minor tailoring based on the few country-specific barriers.

description: Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering at the N K edge reveals clearly resolved harmonics of the anion plane vibrations in the kappa-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu2(CN)3 spin-liquid insulator. Tuning the incoming light energy at the K edge of two distinct N sites permits to excite different sets of phonon modes. Cyanide CN stretching mode is selected at the edge of the ordered N sites which are more strongly connected to the BEDT-TTF molecules, while positionally disordered N sites show multi-mode excitation. Combining measurements with calculations on an anion plane cluster permits to estimate the sitedependent electron-phonon coupling of the modes related to nitrogen excitation.
Gauge Invariant Action for the Open Bosonic String

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

description: The issue of space time gauge invariance for the bosonic string has been earlier addressed using the loop variable formalism. In this paper the question of obtaining a gauge invariant action for the open bosonic string is discussed. The derivative w.r.t $ln a$ (where $a$ is a world sheet cutoff) of the partition function - which is first normalized by dividing by the integral of the two point function of a marginal operator - is a candidate for the action. Applied to the zero-momentum tachyon it gives a tachyon potential that is similar to those that have been obtained using Witten's background independent formalism. This procedure is easily made gauge invariant in the loop variable formalism by replacing $ln a$ by $Σ$ which is the generalization of the Liouville mode that occurs in this formalism. We also describe a method of resumming the Taylor expansion that is done in the loop variable formalism. This allows one to see the pole structure of string amplitudes that would not be visible in the original loop variable formalism.

description: After a decade of instability, Europe looks to the eighties with the hope of achieving the goals of stable growth and lower inflation. M. Barre's plan in France, the election of Mrs. Thatcher in Britain, the Pandolfi plan in Italy, the Moncloa pact in Spain and the establishment of the European Monetary System (EMS) are the principal steps recently taken to elaborate and achieve these goals. Unfortunately, instability cannot be eliminated simply by rhetoric or by relying on bureaucratic solutions. To achieve greater stability in the eighties, the countries of Europe must develop medium-term policies for external and internal balance which avoid the mistakes of the seventies.

Leadership in a binational, bicultural and bilingual school
Creators: name: Sutherland, Kathleen
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2019

description: This study explored how leadership develops and is practised in a binational, bicultural and bilingual school. The study focused on the joint leadership (Australian and French) of Telopea Park School Lycée Franco-Australien de Canberra, located in Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), Australia. The school is a binational, bicultural and bilingual school. The study sought to understand some of the conceptual, professional and practical aspects of leadership development and practice with regard to the distinctive phenomena of leadership in a binational, bicultural and bilingual school. Further, the study aimed to generate theoretical ideas and practical recommendations for further research and practice relevant to the exercise of leadership in a binational, bicultural and bilingual school. Evolutionary epistemology, qualitative and interpretive theory and a grounded theory approach to data collection and analysis formed the research framework for the study. Qualitative data sources included archival documents, artefacts, and semi-structured interviews which gathered the perceptions of those who had held senior leadership positions and who were, or had been, close to critical episodes in the school’s history. Others associated with the school including teachers and parents, participated in focus group interviews. Observation and journaling were used by the participant–researcher in documenting her experiences in, and of leadership in the school. Data were analysed using grounded theory methods. The findings of the study into the nature of leadership in a binational, bicultural and bilingual school confirmed that the school was multifaceted and complex. The findings indicated that two key categories of dynamics were central to the development and practice of leadership in the school. The first category of dynamics was classified as general dynamics, those dynamics which might be found in schools in general: time, savoir-être (knowing how to be), communication and problem-solving. The second category of dynamics was classified as specific dynamics, those derived from the particular nature of the school: the dynamic of duple and the dynamic of diplomacy. The thesis chose an Indigenous Australian concept of “ganma” as a metaphor that might illustrate the various dimensions of the leadership culture in the binational, bicultural and bilingual school and the ways in which the dynamics and their constant, multi-dimensional interactions within this complex and multi-faceted leadership context might be conceptualised. The thesis concluded by making a number of recommendations for future research into leadership in binational, bicultural and bilingual schools and for the practice of leadership in these complex international, intercultural endeavours.
Stabilizing quantum metastable states in a time-periodic potential

description: In this talk we present a model to demonstrate how time-periodic potential can be used to manipulate quantum metastability of a system. We study metastability of a particle trapped in a well with a time-periodically oscillating barrier in the Floquet formalism. It is shown that the oscillating barrier causes the system to decay faster in general. However, avoided crossings of metastable states can occur with the less stable states crossing over to the more stable ones. If in the static well there exists a bound state, then it is possible to stabilize a metastable state by adiabatically increasing the oscillating frequency of the barrier so that the unstable state eventually cross-over to the stable bound state. It is also found that increasing the amplitude of the oscillating field may change a direct crossing of states into an avoided one. Hence, one can manipulate the stability of different states in a quantum potential by a combination of adiabatic changes of the frequency and the amplitude of the oscillating barrier.

title: Packaging The Past: Interpreting History In British Open Air Museums

description: Museums, in their unique location as mediators of knowledge between the academy and the public, now find themselves as the locus of discourse concerning education vs. entertainment. Further, the economic success of a multibillion dollar "heritage industry" has helped to make history, or the right to interpret the landscape of the past, a highly contested space. One may ask, then, in Michael Stratton's words (1996:156) "do [open air museums] represent the worst aspects of 'edutainment', ' fakelore' and the blurring of boundaries between historical credibility and the appeal to public nostalgia?". This article, as a contribution to growing reflexivity in the museum realm, explores this question along with others as to the the "commodification" of history and the functions of museums by looking at interpretation in open air museums within the context of their necessity to rethink roles in a rapidly changing, increasingly global economy.

description: Risk communication is a growth industry. The increasing size of Risk Analysis is just one reflection of a more general flood of publications, workshops, research projects, as well as serious efforts to communicate or to tell others how to communicate. The National Research Council has recently issued a summary report on the topic.(’) Amid all this activity, there is a simmering conflict regarding the ethical status of risk communication. Some people hold it to be an unabashedly good thing, an essential activity if lay people are to make informed decisions regarding risks. Others have a darker view. For example, Sheila Jasanoff suggests that “risk communication is often a code [word] for brainwashing by experts or industry”.(2) In this editorial, we offer a framework for analyzing the ethical status of that subset of communications composed of messages from technical experts to the lay public.
Shape transformation transitions of a tethered surface model

description: A surface model of Nambu and Goto is studied statistical mechanically by using the canonical Monte Carlo simulation technique on a spherical meshwork. The model is defined by the area energy term and a one-dimensional bending energy term in the Hamiltonian. We find that the model has a large variety of phases; the spherical phase, the planar phase, the long linear phase, the short linear phase, the wormlike phase, and the collapsed phase. Almost all two neighboring phases are separated by discontinuous transitions. It is also remarkable that no surface fluctuation can be seen in the surfaces both in the spherical phase and in the planar phase.

On the Post Selection Inference constant under Restricted Isometry Properties

description: Uniformly valid confidence intervals post model selection in regression can be constructed based on Post-Selection Inference (PoSI) constants. PoSI constants are minimal for orthogonal design matrices, and can be upper bounded in function of the sparsity of the set of models under consideration, for generic design matrices. In order to improve on these generic sparse upper bounds, we consider design matrices satisfying a Restricted Isometry Property (RIP) condition. We provide a new upper bound on the PoSI constant in this setting. This upper bound is an explicit function of the RIP constant of the design matrix, thereby giving an interpolation between the orthogonal setting and the generic sparse setting. We show that this upper bound is asymptotically optimal in many settings by constructing a matching lower bound.

description: We calculate the two-loop renormalization group equations for the running gaugino masses in general SUSY gauge models, improving our previous result. We also study its consequence to the unification of the gaugino masses in the SUSY SU(5) model. The two-loop correction to the one-loop relation $m_i(μ)\proptoα_i(μ)$ is found to be of the order of a few \%.

description: Until recently, companies neglected health, safety, and environmental risks. While managers care about the safety of their workers and the quality of the environment, they tended not to think of these effects and the company bore little or none of the consequences of their actions. If a worker was injured in a coal mine, there was another waiting for the job. If the river became polluted, those downstream could worry about it. The company could curse the poor quality of water it received while neglecting the water pollution it discharged. Largely as a result of these effects being 'external' to the firm, there were no systematic methods developed to treat them, even when they impacted the firm.

description: We present the results of a VLT MUSE/FORS2 and Spitzer survey of a unique compact lensing cluster CLIO at z = 0.42, discovered through the GAMA survey using spectroscopic redshifts. Compact and massive clusters such as this are understudied, but provide a unique prospective on dark matter distributions and for finding background lensed high-z galaxies. The CLIO cluster was identified for follow up observations due to its almost unique combination of high mass and dark matter halo concentration, as well as having observed lensing arcs from ground based images. Using dual band optical and infra-red imaging from FORS2 and Spitzer, in combination with MUSE optical spectroscopy we identify 89 cluster members and find background sources out to z = 6.49. We describe the physical state of this cluster, finding a strong correlation between environment and galaxy spectral type. Under the assumption of a NFW profile, we measure the total mass of CLIO to be M$_{200} = (4.49 \pm 0.25) \times 10^{14}$ M$_\odot$. We build and present an initial strong-lensing model for this cluster, and measure a relatively low intracluster light (ICL) fraction of 7.21 $\pm$ 1.53% through galaxy profile fitting. Due to its strong potential for lensing background galaxies and its low ICL, the CLIO cluster will be a target for our 110 hour JWST 'Webb Medium-Deep Field' (WMDF) GTO program.
