The university as a community knowledge broker for the exchange of information to assist in sustainable natural resource management (2008)

Research conducted at Charles Darwin University (CDU) in the environmental science and natural resource management (NRM) areas is internationally recognised and widely published in international peer reviewed journals, yet access to the information generated by regional NRM practitioners is largely limited. In the past, research directions and priorities have been largely derived and determined within CDU based research programs, with limited input from on the ground natural resource managers. CDU caters for a range of educational needs from vocational training through to the PHD level, yet again course design and materials have been largely determined internally. This paper presents the findings of an exchange workshop whose aim was to start work with the community to try to readdress this situation. The workshop was funded by National Heritage Trust funds delivered by Land and Water Australia and Greening Australia under the Exchange Incentive. The aims of the workshop were to explore - what NRM practitioners would like to see CDU do in terms of information exchange, how CDU could perform the role of an effective knowledge broker for NRM information in the NT, what the limitations and barriers to information and knowledge exchange are currently, and what changes are needed to make it easier to access relevant information. Although a CDU initiative the workshop was a partnership between the NT NRM Board, the Tropical Savannas CRC, Greening Australia and the NT Government Departments of Primary Industries Fisheries and Mines (DPIFM) and Natural Resources Environment and Arts (DNRETA). Outcomes from the workshop included a recommendation to establish a NRM Industry Group to liaise with CDU with regard to training, research and information exchange, a more formalised process to assess the community engagement needs of researchers, and the creation of a working group whose role would be to continue the engagement processes started at the workshop, and to consider how to impement recommendations and create an effective network to facilitate partnerships, understanding and communities of practice between CDU researchers.lecturers/trainers and people engaged in practical NRM.
Dynamic 3D shape measurement based on the phase-shifting moire algorithm (2020)

Structured-lighting projection methods are the important parts of the optical three-dimensional (3D) measurement. Phase-shifting profilometry has a higher accuracy,however it requires multiple phase-shifting sinusoidal patterns’ projection,it can only be used for static measurement. The 3D shape measurement of dynamic objects is a challenging issue and attracts many scholars’ attention. The single frame 3D reconstruction technique (such as the Fourier transform, color-encoded or composite coded grating method and single frame Moiré retrieval method) can meet the requirements of dynamic measurement well since only one-frame deformed pattern is required to obtain the 3D information of the object, but there are still issues in the stability and accuracy when using these methods. Recently, Wang et. al. [26] presented a high-speed Moiré-based phase retrieval method. However, it is used only to measure the thin objects. Inspired by reference 27, we combined phase-shifting, moire algorithm and reconstruction algorithm of complex Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), proposed a dynamic three-dimensional (3D) measurement based on four-step phase-shifting Moiré algorithm. Only one fringe pattern of the object was required to reconstruct the 3D shape of the tested object after the four fringe patterns with a π /2 phase shift of the reference plane were captured in advance. Only a single Fourier transform of a complex fringe composed of two multiplexed fringe patterns is calculated,the calculation time of the inverse 2D FFT is decreased due to the smaller calculated data matrix. First, four sinusoidal fringe patterns with a π/2 phase-shift are projected on the reference plane and acquired four deformed fringe patterns of the reference plane. Then single-shot deformed fringe pattern of the tested object is captured in measurement process. Four Moiré fringe patterns can be obtained by numerical multiplication between the the AC component of the object pattern and the alternating components(AC) of the reference patterns respectively. The four low-frequency components corresponding to the Moiré fringe patterns are calculated by the complex encoding FT (Fourier transform) ,spectrum filtering and inverse FT. Thus the four phase-shifting Moiré fringe patterns can be retrieved. Then the wrapped phase of the object can be determined in the tangent form from the four phase shifting Moiré fringe patterns using the four-step phase shifting algorithm.The continuous phase distribution can be obtained by the phase unwrapping algorithm.The 3D shape distribution can be reconstructed according to the phase-to height mapping relation after the calibration of the system. Finally, experiments are conducted to prove the validity of the proposed method. The results demonstrate that our method not only can expand the measurement scope, but also can improve accuracy and speed.
Auditing and Property Rights (2004)

Third-party auditprovides incentives to an agent whose actions affect the value of an asset. When audit intensity and outcome are unverifiable, we show that with interim-participation constraints the optimal mechanism may use only the auditor's report, disregarding the agent's information. Furthermore, the auditor obtains the asset and the agent a monetary compensation, when a high asset value is reported. This suggests regulating renewable resources or utility networks by giving entrants the option to buy the right to use the asset at a predetermined price, and financially rewarding incumbents for good performance.
Liquid−Liquid Equilibrium of the Castor Oil + Soybean Oil + Hexane Ternary System (2002)

Liquid−liquid equilibria for the ternary system castor oil + soybean oil + hexane are studied at 298.15 K. Mixtures are equilibrated in a temperature-controlled water bath. After evaporation of hexane, the oil compositions of each phase are determined by a combination of gravimetric measurements and the analysis of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) using gas chromatography. Since castor and soybean triglycerides are a mixture of five or six fatty acids, the castor and soybean fractions are characterized by the relative concentration of ricinoleic acid. Fitting the K-ratios for castor oil, soybean oil, and hexane smoothed the liquid−liquid equilibrium data. A computational cross-flow extraction is designed on the basis of the smoothed phase diagram and is experimentally validated.
Nanostructure and thermomechanical properties of Si3N4/SiC composites fabricated from Si-C-N precursor powders. (1989)

The Si3N4, /SiC composites were prepared by hot-pressing the Si-C-N powder pre-cursors from CVD. Transmission electron microscopic observations indicated that SiC particles finer than -0.1μ m were dispersed mainly within the matrix grains whereas large SiC dispersions were located at the grain boundaries. No apparent impurity phase was observed at the interface of Si3N4, and SiC. The coefficient of thermal expansion of the composites increased with SiC content according to the composite law, while the thermal conductivity decreased up to about 20 vol% SiC and increased with the increase of SiC dispersion. Thus, the slightly decreased-thermal-shock-fracture-resistance, ΔTc, was observed for the composites as compared with pure Si3N4, although the fracture strength (also toughness) was improved significantly by the SiC dispersions.
Multimode evaluation of cement behind steel pipe (2008)

Oil wells are usually cased with a steel pipe, and cement is injected in the annulus between pipe and rock in order to provide hydraulic isolation of the reservoir. The traditional ultrasonic technique to evaluate cement behind steel pipe has been to excite the pipe thickness mode, and to extract the acoustic impedance of the material from the pulse-echo response. However, this technique suffers from some limitations, such as a limited depth of investigation or a poor discrimination between mud and light cement. To alleviate such limitations, the thickness mode can be combined with the pipe flexural mode. Although dispersive, the flexural mode has the unique property of a quasi constant group velocity in a specific frequency domain which is high enough to provide azimuthal resolution. Such property provides the means for an accurate measurement of the time of arrival and the amplitude of the different echoes generated by a particular geometry. In particular, the echo traveling within the annulus and reflected by the rock can be easily detected from within the pipe, and provide novel information on the annulus fill.
Design and validation issues in RNA-seq experiments (2011)

The next-generation sequencing technologies are being rapidly applied in biological research. Tens of millions of short sequences generated in a single experiment provide us enormous information on genome composition, genetic variants, gene expression levels and protein binding sites depending on the applications. Various methods are being developed for analyzing the data generated by these technologies. However, the relevant experimental design issues have rarely been discussed. In this review, we use RNA-seq as an example to bring this topic into focus and to discuss experimental design and validation issues pertaining to next-generation sequencing in the quantification of transcripts.
Inhibition of Hsp90 Compromises the DNA Damage Response to Radiation (2006)

Inhibitors of the molecular chaperone Hsp90 have been shown to enhance tumor cell radiosensitivity. To begin to address the mechanism responsible, we have determined the effect of the Hsp90 inhibitor 17-(dimethylaminoethylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17DMAG) on the DNA damage response to radiation. Exposure of MiaPaCa tumor cells to 17DMAG, which results in radiosensitization, inhibited the repair of DNA double-strand breaks according to gammaH2AX foci dispersal and the neutral comet assay. This repair inhibition was associated with reduced DNA-PK catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) phosphorylation after irradiation and a disruption of DNA-PKcs/ErbB1 interaction. These data suggest that the previously established 17DMAG-mediated reduction in ErbB1 activity reduces its interaction with DNA-PKcs and thus accounts for the attenuation of radiation-induced DNA-PK activation. 17DMAG was also found to abrogate the activation of the G(2)- and S-phase cell cycle checkpoints. Associated with these events was a reduction in radiation-induced ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) activation and foci formation in 17DMAG-treated cells. Although no interaction between ATM and Hsp90 was detected, Hsp90 was found to interact with the MRE11/Rad50/NBS1 (MRN) complex. 17DMAG exposure reduced the ability of the MRN components to form nuclear foci after irradiation. Moreover, 17DMAG exposure reduced the interaction between NBS1 and ATM, although no degradation of the MRN complex was detected. These results suggest that the diminished radiation-induced activation of ATM in 17DMAG-treated cells was the result of a compromise in the function of the MRN complex. These data indicate that Hsp90 can contribute to the DNA damage response to radiation affecting both DNA repair and cell cycle checkpoint activation.

SWOG S0800 (NCI CDR0000636131): addition of bevacizumab to neoadjuvant nab-paclitaxel with dose-dense doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide improves pathologic complete response (pCR) rates in inflammatory or locally advanced breast cancer (2016)

SWOG S0800, a randomized open-label Phase II clinical trial, compared the combination of weekly nab-paclitaxel and bevacizumab followed by dose-dense doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (AC) with nab-paclitaxel followed or preceded by AC as neoadjuvant treatment for HER2-negative locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) or inflammatory breast cancer (IBC). Patients were randomly allocated (2:1:1) to three neoadjuvant chemotherapy arms: (1) nab-paclitaxel with concurrent bevacizumab followed by AC; (2) nab-paclitaxel followed by AC; or (3) AC followed by nab-paclitaxel. The primary endpoint was pathologic complete response (pCR) with stratification by disease type (non-IBC LABC vs. IBC) and hormone receptor status (positive vs. negative). Overall survival (OS), event-free survival (EFS), and toxicity were secondary endpoints. Analyses were intent-to-treat comparing bevacizumab to the combined control arms. A total of 215 patients were accrued including 11 % with IBC and 32 % with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The addition of bevacizumab significantly increased the pCR rate overall (36 vs. 21 %; p = 0.019) and in TNBC (59 vs. 29 %; p = 0.014), but not in hormone receptor-positive disease (24 vs. 18 %; p = 0.41). Sequence of administration of nab-paclitaxel and AC did not affect the pCR rate. While no significant differences in OS or EFS were seen, a trend favored the addition of bevacizumab for EFS (p = 0.06) in TNBC. Overall, Grade 3-4 adverse events did not differ substantially by treatment arm. The addition of bevacizumab to nab-paclitaxel prior to dose-dense AC neoadjuvant chemotherapy significantly improved the pCR rate compared to chemotherapy alone in patients with triple-negative LABC/IBC and was accompanied by a trend for improved EFS. This suggests reconsideration of the role of bevacizumab in high-risk triple-negative locally advanced breast cancer.
In-plane quantum energy control of InGaAs/InGaAsP MQW structure by MOCVD selective area growth (2003)

The controllability of in-plane Eg (in-plane bandgap energy) is investigated focusing on the mechanism of quantum energy variation for InGaAs/InGaAsP MQW (multiquantum well) structures. SAG (selective area growth) is applied to an MQW electroabsorption-modulator/distributed feedback-laser integrated light source. Eg was successfully controlled in InGaAs/InGaAsP MQW structures by simultaneous MOCVD (metal-organic chemical vapor deposition) SAG. The large photoluminescence peak wavelength variation from 1.42 to 1.58 mu m was found to result mainly from the thickness enhancement of the quantum well layer. Superior properties of the device indicate that the SAG technique is promising for photonic device integration.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Multiple Sensor Indoor Surveillance: Problems and Solutions (2006)

The paper presents the Multiple Sensor Indoor Surveillance (MSIS) project which is a research project at the Accenture Technology Labs. It describes the objectives of the project, the problems it was designed to solve and solutions that have been currently obtained. The project environment includes 32 Web cameras, an infrared badge system, a PTZ camera, and a fingerprint reader. The solutions for the following two problems are described in details. The first problem is how to visualize events detected by 32 cameras during 24 hours. The solution is obtained using self-organizing maps. The second problem is how to localize people using fusion of multiple streams of noisy sensory data with the contextual and domain knowledge that is provided by both the physical constraints imposed by the local environment and by the people that are involved in the surveillance tasks. A Bayesian framework is suggested to solve this problem. The experimental data are provided and discussed
Codifying Hidden Dependencies in Legacy J2EE Applications (2018)

J2EE applications tend to be multi-tier and multi-language applications. They rely on the J2EE platform and containers that offer infrastructure and architectural services to ensure distributed, secure, safe, and scalable executions. These mechanisms hide many program dependencies, which helps development but hinders maintenance, evolution, and re-engineering of J2EE applications. In this paper, we study (i) the J2EE specifications to extract a declarative specification of the dependencies that are inherent in the services offered and that are not visible in the user code that uses them. Then, we introduce (ii) a codification of the dependencies into rules, and (iii) a tool that supports the specification of those dependencies and their detection in J2EE applications. We validate our approach and tool on a sample of 10 J2EE applications. We also compare our tool against JRipples, a state-of-the-art tool for change-impact analysis tasks. Results show that our tool adds, on average, 15% more call dependencies, which would have been missed otherwise. On change impact analysis tasks, our tool outperforms JRipples in all 10 applications, especially for the early iterations of change propagation exploration.
Emerging roles of collapsin response mediator proteins (CRMPs) as regulators of voltage-gated calcium channels and synaptic transmission (2010)

Presynaptic N-type voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels (Cav2.2) form part of an extensive macromolecular complex in the presynaptic terminal. Regulation of Cav2.2 is achieved via protein-protein interactions within the terminal and can directly impact transmitter release which is dependent on Ca(2+) influx via these Cav2.2. We recently identified a novel Cav2.2 interacting partner-the collapsin response mediator protein (CRMP).1 CRMPs are a family of five proteins implicated in signal transduction of neurite outgrowth and axonal guidance. We showed that CRMP-2, a wellstudied member of this family, interacted with Cav2.2 via direct binding to cytoplasmic loops of Cav2.2. Depolarization enhanced the interaction. Further studies revealed that CRMP-2 facilitated an increase in Cav2.2 current density by inserting more Cav2.2 at the cell surface. As a consequence of CRMP-2-mediated increase in Ca(2+) influx, release of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate was also increased. CRMP-2 localized to synapses where, surprisingly, its overexpression increased synapse size. We hypothesize that the CRMP-2-calcium channel interaction represents a novel mechanism for modulation of Ca(2+) influx into nerve terminals and, hence, of synaptic strength. In this addendum, we further discuss the significance of this study and the possible implications to the field.
Genetic and Economic Responses for Within-Family Marker-Assisted Selection in Dairy Cattle Breeding Schemes (1998)

Marker-assisted selection schemes that utilize information about quantitative trait loci to preselect progeny test bulls within a family are the most practical application of quantitative trait loci results in the short-term. Technical difficulties exist for across-family marker-assisted selection using BLUP procedures. Two within-family marker-assisted selection schemes were evaluated genetically and economically using stochastic simulation for a locus that explained 5% of phenotypic variance. The genetic and economic impacts of variation in the number of offspring per bull-dam were evaluated. The top down marker-assisted selection scheme identifies sires that are heterozygous for the locus based on the granddaughter design and uses the quantitative trait locus information in the preselection of grandsons entering progeny testing. The bottom up marker-assisted selection scheme identifies sires heterozygous for a quantitative trait locus based on the daughter design and uses the information in the preselection of sons entering progeny testing. The top down scheme with one progeny per bull-dam reduced the rate of genetic gain compared with that from a breeding scheme that ignored knowledge of the quantitative trait locus. The top down scheme with reproductive performance of 3 or 40 progeny per bull-dam increased genetic gain by 1 to 2%. The bottom up scheme increased the rate of genetic gain by 1.5, 3.5, and 5% for 1, 3, and 40 progeny per bull-dam, respectively. When the top down scheme was used on the maternal path and the bottom up scheme on the paternal path, increases were 9% with 40 progeny per bull-dam. The use of reproductive technologies on bull-dams is imperative to prevent gains from marker-assisted selection being eroded by the loss in polygenic selection differential that results when more bull-dams are required to enable preselection of sons using markers.
3D Bioprinting: Biologically Inspired Smart Release System Based on 3D Bioprinted Perfused Scaffold for Vascularized Tissue Regeneration (Adv. Sci. 8/2016) (2016)

In the article 1600058, Lijie Grace Zhang and co-workers develop a comprehensive design of engineered vascularized bone construct (top image), integrating biomimetic 3D printed fluid perfused microstructure with a biologically inspired smart growth factor release system (colored fibers). The design provides great potential for complex tissue/organ regeneration by delivering multiple growth factors (small spheres), in a highly coordinated manner based on appropriate time, location and biological signal.
"Light-Pen"' Facilities for Direct View Storage Tubes-An Economical Solution for Multiple Man-Machine Communication (1965)

Techniques are presented which enable conventional "light-pen" tracking and pointing functions to be extended to the direct view storage tube (DVST). The schemes eliminate the high data transfer rates or considerable buffer storage required even for static displays when short persistence cathode ray tubes (CRTs) are used. Two solutions, a "quadruple photo-sensor pen" and the "potentiometer pen" (a transparent resistive sheet and stylus combination which covers the display), are described and compared.
