State of the uni survey: The tertiary education sector has its say (2015)

Staff in Australian universities have said that their work gives them satisfaction, that they have positive work relationships and that their work is exciting and interesting. But they have also said that workplace change is handled poorly, and most do not trust senior management believing executive salaries are too high.
Immunohistochemistry for the diagnosis of hepatitis E virus infection (2011)

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an emerging pathogen and the most common cause of acute viral hepatitis all over the world. We describe here an immunohistochemical method for the detection of HEV antigens (pORF2 and pORF3) in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded liver tissues using monoclonal antibodies raised against two of the virus proteins (pORF2 and pORF3). We analysed their specificity and sensitivity in comparison with serology and nucleic acid detection in cases of acute liver failure (ALF). We used this test on 30 liver biopsies collected post-mortem from the patients of ALF caused by HEV infection. These cases were selected on the basis of positive results for enzyme immunoassay (IgM anti-HEV). Of the 30 cases taken from the archives of the Department of Pathology, the antibodies successfully stained all. However, only 25 serum samples (83.3%) of these were positive for HEV RNA. Fifteen controls used (Five noninfected liver tissues, five HBV- and five hepatitis C virus-infected liver tissues) were all negative. The immunohistochemical assay described here may prove a valuable tool for the detection of HEV infection in biopsy, autopsy and explant liver tissues and can serve as a link along with other available tests to delineate the extent of HEV-associated problem worldwide.
A Neural Model of Biased Oscillations in Aplysia Head-Waving Behavior (1994)

A long-term bias in the head-waving behavior of Aplysia can be induced using bright lights as an aversive stimulus: coupling onset of the lights with head movements to one side results in a bias away from that side (Cook &amp;amp; Carew, 1986). This bias has been interpreted as a form of operant conditioning, whereby the Aplysia learns the adverse effect of its own actions. A similar form of head-waving behavior was previously modeled by Raymond, Baxter, Buonomano, and Byrne (1992) using a neural oscillator. In this article we simulate the head-waving behavior using a recurrent gated dipole, a nonlinear dynamical neural model that has previously been used to explain various data including oscillatory behavior in biological pacemakers. Our model has generated quantitative fits to the experimental data of Cook and Carew (1986), and it has suggested a new experimental hypothesis on the nature of the head-waving behavior.

Factor analysis method for text-independent speaker identification (2014)

Factor analysis method offers state-of-the-art performance in speaker identification during the paper. The compact representations of speakers named i-vectors are extracted from the utterances in a new low dimensional speaker- and channel-dependent space, referred to a total variability space. LBG algorithm is combined with fuzzy theory in the initialization of speaker models，which helps improve the recognition rate of the system. Channel compensation techniques, such as Linear Discriminate Analysis (LDA), Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Nuisance Attribute Projection (NAP) and Within-class Covariance Normalization (WCCN) are compared during the experiment. It can be seen that LDA followed by WCCN achieves satisfying performance. In addition, experiments contrast several identification methods. One is through Support-Vector-Machine (SVM), another one directly uses the cosine distance similarity (CDS) as the final decision score, logarithmic likelihood and vector quantization are used to compare to above two methods. It demonstrates that CDS combined with score normalization obtains better result. The testing of mobile phone database shows the robustness of the system in complex channel environment. The graphical user interface of training and testing module is simulated on MATLAB in the end of the paper.
Giant dielectric susceptibility and magnetocapacitance effect in manganites at room temperature (2008)

Extremely high values of the relative permittivity up to 107 and the magnetocapacitance up to 105% have been found in La1 − x Sr x MnO3 single crystals (x = 0.1, 0.11). These phenomena are observed even at room temperature. The observed behavior can be a consequence of the strong interaction among charge, spin, and lattice degrees of freedom, which leads to charge and phase separation in the regime before the percolation threshold.
Scheduling users in drive-thru Internet: a multi-armed bandit approach (2019)

We consider the problem of allocating a wireless channel to mobile users moving on a straight road. The objective is to maximize a given function of the total data transmitted. We develop a model within the multi-armed bandit framework and formulate an optimization problem under the constraint that at most one user can be served at a time. We solve the relaxed optimization problem, in which one user is served on the average, and show it to be indexable. A simple and easy-to-compute expression is given for the Whittle index. We then propose a heuristic policy for the original optimization problem using Whittle's index policy. The proposed heuristic is shown to perform well compared to some other heuristics in various settings including dynamic scenarios with arrivals of new users and the presence of heterogeneous users.
Expression of the cloned ColE1 kil gene in normal and Kilr Escherichia coli (1986)

The kil gene of the ColE1 plasmid was cloned under control of the lac promoter. Its expression under this promoter gave rise to the same pattern of bacterial cell damage and lethality as that which accompanies induction of the kil gene in the colicin operon by mitomycin C. This confirms that cell damage after induction is solely due to expression of kil and is independent of the cea or imm gene products. Escherichia coli derivatives resistant to the lethal effects of kil gene expression under either the normal or the lac promoter were isolated and found to fall into several classes, some of which were altered in sensitivity to agents that affect the bacterial envelope.
Effect of the gastric balloon versus sham procedure on weight loss in obese subjects. (1989)

The mechanism by which intragastric balloons induce weight loss is not known, although they may act simply by reducing the amount of food needed to induce satiety. The knowledge that a balloon is present may influence the patients' eating patterns and reduce caloric intake and weight. In order to test whether the balloon or the secondary psychological effect caused weight loss, a double blind balloon versus sham procedure was devised with both groups receiving identical outpatient dietary advice (800 kcal/day). Twenty four obese women with body mass index greater than 30 kg/m2 from an obesity clinic were studied. Twelve had the balloon and 12 the sham procedure. The balloon was removed after three months and the patients were followed for a further three months. There was significantly greater weight loss in the balloon group, mean weight loss (SD) of 7.33 (6.12) kg compared with the sham group, mean weight loss (SD) of 3.33 (3.9) kg (p less than 0.05). Weight loss was not maintained in all patients after balloon removal. Side effects were more common in the balloon group (abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting) but resolved by the second week. We conclude that the intragastric balloon is a safe and effective method of inducing weight loss in well motivated obese patients.
Ship GPS Multipath Detection Experiments (2003)

Ship multipath caused by the surrounding ship superstructure and water is a significant error source that can severely limit the reliability of GPS-derived navigation solutions. This is especially important given the low reliability of many current marine receivers (MacGougan and Liu, 2002). The magnitude of code multipath aboard a Canadian Coast Guard vessel was assessed using a series of onboard measurements with three receivers using different levels of correlator technology and two different antennas. The antennas were successively located on the upper mast of the ship. The three receivers tested consisted of a standard marine receiver, a high quality receiver set to use wide correlator methods and a high grade receiver using an advanced correlator technology. A fixed base station with known coordinates was used to accurately determine the reference position of the ship during the tests using differential carrier-phase measurements. Then, a residual analysis from a single differenced positionconstrained least-squares solution was performed in order to isolate pseudorange error whose main component is multipath. The data was collected over several days while the ship was in port in a static position. This enabled the detection and analysis of repeated day-to-day multipath. Two kinematic experiments were also conducted to study the differences with the static case.

An Optimization-based Multi-level Asset Allocation Model for Collaborative Planning (2011)

Abstract : Motivated by the Navy's emphasis on networked planning capabilities in maritime operations centers (MOC), we have developed an agent-based multi-level resource allocation model that takes high level commands from the human planners and then dynamically allocates the lower-level assets and processes tasks to accomplish the mission objectives. The agent-based model supports a controllable, multi-player, real time collaborative planning environment in a Windows environment. The architecture allows for adding constraints on and manipulations of organizational structures, such as authority, information, communication, resource ownership, task assignment, as well as mission and environmental structures. The planning problem is formulated as a multi-level optimization problem of minimizing the overall difference between the human specified performance measures and expected performance measures which are evaluated based on how well the assigned resources match the required resources, subject to a number of real-world planning constraints on assets. We applied a Dynamic List Planning algorithm (DLP) to solve the intractable multi-level resource allocation problem. The near-optimal DLP method can generate high-quality solutions in seconds compared to days taken by the branch-and-bound-based search methods.

Nonlinear Bi-Stable Vibration Energy Harvester at Work (2014)

An extreme low power energy rectification, storage and management circuitry has been developed and used to power a small digital wireless sensor with a piezoelectric non-linear bi-stable vibration energy harvester for automotive application. All the system has been designed with off-the-shelf components and sends data in the 2.4 GHz band using an 802.15.4 compliant transceiver. An 802.15.4 to UART and UART to Bluetooth interface has been realized to send the data acquired by the sensor to a Smartphone.
Alterations in renal cytosolic phospholipase A 2 and cyclooxygenases in polycystic kidney disease (2002)

Cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2), cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) regulate the formation of physiologically active prostaglandins, the production of which is known to be elevated in several renal disorders. We studied the relevance of these enzymes in polycystic kidney disease (PKD) by using two models of the disease: a model in which decline in renal function begins in adulthood (CD1-pcy/pcy mouse) and one in which it occurs early, during growth (Han:SPRD-cy rat). Immunoblotting analyses of cytosolic and particulate kidney fractions revealed that cPLA2 levels are significantly higher (by 34-131%) in the latter stages of the disease in both models. Renal COX enzymes were found only in the particulate fractions, with COX-1 87% higher in 6-month-old CD1-pcy/pcy mice compared with normal controls, and 110% higher in male 70-day-old Han:SPRD-cy rats with cystic kidneys compared with controls. Renal COX-2 was detected only in the rats and was 58% lower in diseased kidneys of 70-day-old male Han:SPRD-cy rats, indicating that cPLA2 is coupled to COX-1 in the kidney. The altered levels of these eicosanoid-regulating enzymes has implications for the use of NSAIDS and specific COX inhibitors in individuals with this disorder.

A phase unwrapping method for large-motion phase data in MR elastography (2007)

We have developed a one-dimensional route-finding phase unwrapping method to handle Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) phase data from very large induced motion. The method is able to unwrap data where the adjacent phase differences are within range [-2&#960;, 2&#960;) as opposed to the [-&#960;, &#960;) requirement for most phase unwrapping methods. With more unwrapping paths, the range of phase difference can be easily expanded to [-2N&#960;, 2N&#960;) (N = 1,2,3,...). The possible unwrapping path when using different numbers of relative phase offsets can be found by Monte Carlo simulation. Two phantom studies were performed to test the new unwrapping method. One study compared the new method with the classical Itoh's one-dimensional method and the other study combined the new method with twodimensional phase unwrapping method and unwraped three-dimensional MRE phase data with a sequential threedimensional unwrapping approach. The results from using different phase unwrapping methods were then compared and analyzed.
Reflectance Forehead Pulse Oximetry: Effects of Contact Pressure During Walking (2006)

Steady progress has been made towards the development of a reliable wearable pulse oximeter to aid first responders in remote monitoring and triage operations. This study was undertaken to assess how varying contact pressures affects the photoplethysmographic (PPG) signal, and arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) and heart rate (HR) measurement errors during motion artifact inducing activity. The study revealed that contact pressures ranging from 8-12 kPa resulted in the largest PPG amplitude for a reflectance sensor attached to the forehead region above the eye, although the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) did not improve significantly. However, SpO2 and HR errors increased when insufficient contact pressure was applied. This information may be helpful in the design of a more robust pulse oximeter sensor for use in remote monitoring applications.
Implementing the TMS320C6201/C6701/C6211 HPI Boot Process (1999)

The Texas Instruments (TI™) TMS320C62x and TMS320C67x digital signal processors (DSPs) provide a variety of boot configurations that determine which actions the DSP should perform to prepare for initialization after device reset. The boot process is determined by latching the boot configuration settings at reset. The various boot processes load code from an external ROM memory space and from an external host processor through the host port interface (HPI).
Dynamically controllable graphene terahertz splitters with nonreciprocal properties (2019)

Two novel graphene-based nonreciprocal four-port splitters for the terahertz region are proposed. The input power is divided between two output ports, whereas the input port is isolated from the output ports due to the presence of the fourth port. The splitters consist of a circular graphene resonator and four graphene waveguides coupled to the resonator. These elements are placed on the two-layer dielectric substrate. The central part of the splitter is under a biasing DC magnetic field normal to the graphene layer. The surface plasmon-polariton wave in the input port excites the dipole resonance in the resonator. The splitters have the following parameters: the input power is divided between two output ports almost equally with -4.4 dB. The input port is isolated from two output ports by -15 dB. The bandwidth is 4.0% with a central frequency of 7.4 THz. The biasing DC magnetic field is 0.8 T, and the Fermi energy of graphene ϵ<sub>F</sub>=0.15 eV. Changing the Fermi energy by electrostatic gating allows one to dynamically control the central frequency of the splitters.

Statistical model for OCT image denoising (2017)

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive technique with a large array of applications in clinical imaging and biological tissue visualization. However, the presence of speckle noise affects the analysis of OCT images and their diagnostic utility. In this article, we introduce a new OCT denoising algorithm. The proposed method is founded on a numerical optimization framework based on maximum-a-posteriori estimate of the noise-free OCT image. It combines a novel speckle noise model, derived from local statistics of empirical spectral domain OCT (SD-OCT) data, with a Huber variant of total variation regularization for edge preservation. The proposed approach exhibits satisfying results in terms of speckle noise reduction as well as edge preservation, at reduced computational cost.
BARRIERS TO ORGANISATIONAL CHANGE: THE ROLE OF CULTURE (1991)

Organisational culture has been a recurring theme in the literature on organisations over the last decade. Indeed, it sometimes seems almost impossible to find a book or journal without some reference, albeit often superficial, to the curative and restorative powers of organisational culture. The literature is studded with oft‐repeated phrases which still trip neatly off the tongue: “a strong culture makes a strong organisation….” (Handy, 1986:188), even when the context has been forgotten.

Disulfiram and nocturnal penile tumescence in the chronic alcoholic. (1981)

Thirty male sober alcoholic inpatients received placebo or disulfiram in a random double-blind design in order to evaluate the effects of disulfiram on nocturnal penile tumescence. The amount and frequency of full erections were decreased in the cohort receiving disulfiram. Implications of these results for the role of norepinephrine in penile tumescence are discussed.
The Application of Stolen Radioactive Source Tracking System Based on Internet of Things Technology (2011)

This paper introduces a radioactive source tracer anti-theft system, which mainly consists of three parts-Detection probe, Tracker and PC. It is based on RFID, GSM and GPS. The system can realize non-contact information acquisition processing for the stolen radioactive source. If there is unauthorized or illegal movement of radioactive sources, GPS/GSM system which is installed in the radioactive source tracer anti-theft system starts work automatically, implement monitoring and tracking function, then regularly to send alarm message to the specified phone number and PC, and displays the location of the radioactive source, achieves automatic monitoring of radioactive source management objectives.
High Performance Liquid Metal Battery with Environmentally Friendly Antimony–Tin Positive Electrode (2016)

For the first time, Sb-Sn alloys are reported as environmentally friendly positive electrodes for high performance liquid metal batteries (LMBs). Meanwhile, the dominant role of Sb in setting the potential and the inert "solvent" role of Sn in lowering the melting point and decreasing the cell cost are clarified on the basis of electrochemical titration and ex situ analysis. The Li||Sb-Sn LMB exhibits superior rate performance (only 13% capacity loss from 100 mA cm(-2) to 1 A cm(-2) of current densities), low materials cost (73 $ kW h(-1)), and high energy density (200.4 W h kg(-1)) at reduced operating temperature. Most notably, after 3500 h of operation (more than 430 full charge-discharge cycles), a discharge capacity of 20.6 Ah is maintained with a capacity retention of 96.7%, corresponding to a fade rate of 0.0078% per cycle, which potentially meets the metrics of large-scale energy storage without environmental concerns.
Absolute Configuration and Body Part Distribution of the Alkaloid 6-epi-Monanchorin from the Marine Polychaete Chaetopterus variopedatus (2016)

As a result of the first study on secondary metabolites from the cosmopolitan bioluminescent marine tube polychaete Chaetopterus variopedatus, a new bicyclic guanidine alkaloid, 6-epi-monanchorin (1), along with the previously known monanchorin (2) were isolated. The structure of 1 was elucidated by spectroscopic and chemical methods, including a cleavage of the C₁-0₇ bond to obtain a secondary alcohol (3), which was used to determine the absolute configurations by Mosher's method. It was found that 1 and 2 were mainly accumulated in a secreted mucus special organ of the worm (food net), where green and blue-green microalgae were detected. A biosynthetic pathway to 6-epi-monanchorin and monanchorin from dietary polyeic fatty acid precursors was proposed.
