Abstract:

The Division of Applied Physics of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization performs research in the physical sciences to benefit Australian industry and also staffs the National Measurement Laboratory, underpinning the Australian measurement system. CSIRO is the major government-funded research organization in Australia, employing approximately 7,000 people, based in 30 divisions, and whose interests range from the agricultural and livestock areas through prospecting, mining, and manufacturing to information and communication technologies. The general mix of work in the divisions includes a proportion of basic science and a significant involvement in contract research with relevant Australian industries.The Division of Applied Physics is one of the oldest divisions and celebrates its 50th Jubilee in 1988. This year is also the 200th anniversary of European settlement in Australia and the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Australian Institute of Physics. It was a busy year for the laboratory!Materials science research in the Division developed from the needs of the standards research program, passed through a period of primarily basic research, and now concentrates on industrial research and the underlying basic research. Four areas which exemplify this progression toward applied research and development are described in this article.Thin film research started in the Division in the 1950s to produce optical coatings, driven by the requirements of a developing standards research program, and the needs of an astronomy program to study the surface of the sun spectroscopically.

Abstract:

The article presents changes in the structure and content of Schedules of Library Bibliographic Classification (LBC) to reflect the modern literature on Physical and Mathematical Sciences. The author describes specific features of separating the literature inside subdivision and between other divisions of the LBC Medium Schedules. The article considers the principles of separation of literature between Mathematics and Logic, representing the greatest difficulty in the systematization of literature. The range of issues belonging to the complex of computer sciences removed beyond the Division of Mathematics. Special sections on Hydro — and Aerodynamics collect literature, reflecting the applied directions in connection with a variety of technical applications, as well as separate research areas, where the studies are very intensive. The main series of subdivision on Physics is updated due to the introduction of new division, which reflects the new, rapidly developing areas of research in the Physics of soft condensed matter and Nanophysics. In this regard, there was conducted separation with the relevant subdivisions of Chemistry. Modern Radio physics turned from the applied science that supports Radio engineering in the extensive independent field of Physics. In this regard, it was decided to collect the literature on Radio physics in the Physics division, and to add the Radio band to the Schedule of special type sections on frequency ranges of electromagnetic waves. The new division of Laser Physics is introduced for the literature on physical processes related to the generation and amplification of optical radiation. The author describes the principles of separating with the subdivision on engineering technology, where lasers are considered as optical quantum generators. The Astronomy division for the first time presented the literature, reflecting studies on the detection of gravitational waves and on the origin and early evolution of the Solar system.

Abstract:

Randomly inhomogeneous media, such as a turbulent atmosphere, degrade images taken by optical systems. This imposes strong limitations on the resolution achieved by optical systems. The quest for increasing the angular resolution of terrestrial telescopes is still open. This work is a small contribution in that quest. A problem of blind deconvolution arises when one attempts to restore a short-exposure image that has been degraded by random atmospheric turbulence. The image division method attacks this problem by using two short-exposure images of the same object and taking the ratio of their respective Fourier transforms. The result is the quotient of the unknowns transfer functions. The latter are expressed as Fourier series in corresponding point-spread functions. Cross multiplying the division equation gives a system of linear equations with the point-spread functions as unknowns. It is found that the system of linear equations, resulting from the implementation of the image division method, has a multiplicity of solutions. Moreover such system of equations is poorly conditioned. This brings the necessity of a regularization approach. This dissertation describes the development and implementation of a regularization algorithm for the image division method. Using this regularization algorithm the blind deconvolution problem is posed as a constrained least-squares problem. A least-squares solution is found by computing a QR factorization of the system matrix. The Householder transformation method is used to find this factorization. The QR decomposition transforms the problem into an upper-triangular system of equations which is solved by backsubstitution. Prior partial knowledge about the point-spread functions and the object (such as finite support and positivity) is used to impose constrains on the solution, solving the multiplicity-solutions problem. The regularization algorithm is tested with simulated and real data. Good quality reconstructions are obtained from the implementation of the regularized image division method on computer simulated atmospheric degraded images corrupted with up to 5% of additive Gaussian noise, or corrupted with Poisson noise with 100 or more photons as the average number of photons per pixel. It also yields good results when tested with real infrared short-exposure images.

Abstract:

Student learning in upper-division physics courses is a growing area of research in the field of Physics Education. Developing effective new curricular materials and pedagogical techniques to improve student learning in upper-division courses requires knowledge of both what material students struggle with and what curricular approaches help to overcome these struggles. To facilitate the course transformation process for one specific content area -- upper-division electrostatics -- this thesis presents two new methodological tools: (1) an analytical framework designed to investigate students' struggles with the advanced physics content and mathematically sophisticated tools/techniques required at the junior and senior level, and (2) a new multiple-response conceptual assessment designed to measure student learning and assess the effectiveness of different curricular approaches. We first describe the development and theoretical grounding of a new analytical framework designed to characterize how students use mathematical tools and techniques during physics problem solving. We apply this framework to investigate student difficulties with three specific mathematical tools used in upper-division electrostatics: multivariable integration in the context of Coulomb's law, the Dirac delta function in the context of expressing volume charge densities, and separation of variables as a technique to solve Laplace's equation. We find a number of common themes in students' difficulties around these mathematical tools including: recognizing when a particular mathematical tool is appropriate for a given physics problem, mapping between the specific physical context and the formal mathematical structures, and reflecting spontaneously on the solution to a physics problem to gain physical insight or ensure consistency with expected results. We then describe the development of a novel, multiple-response version of an existing conceptual assessment in upper-division electrostatics courses. The goal of this new version is to provide an easily-graded electrostatics assessment that can potentially be implemented to investigate student learning on a large scale. We show that student performance on the new multiple-response version exhibits a significant degree of consistency with performance on the free-response version, and that it continues to provide significant insight into student reasoning and student difficulties. Moreover, we demonstrate that the new assessment is both valid and reliable using data from upper-division physics students at multiple institutions. Overall, the work described in this thesis represents a significant contribution to the methodological tools available to researchers and instructors interested in improving student learning at the upper-division level.

Abstract:

Le but de ce projet est de développer de nouveaux outils pour explorer des processus d'organisation intracellulaire dynamique dans les cellules vivantes, avec une sensibilité sans précédent. Ce travail se concentre sur deux aspects principaux : le développement d'outils pour l'étude en molécule unique de la division cellulaire asymétrique, et la mise au point de sondes monovalentes qui permettent le suivi d'une protéine individuelle utilisant un nanocristal semiconducteur (ou quantum dot, QD). La division cellulaire asymétrique (DCA) est définie comme une division cellulaire dans laquelle une cellule mère donne naissance à deux cellules filles avec des destins différents (ce qui se manifeste à travers par exemple la taille, le contenu ou le profil d'expression). Notre étude se concentre sur la division cellulaire asymétrique dans les cellules souches neurales de Drosophila melanogaster, appelés neuroblastes. Au cours de la division asymétrique des neuroblasts, avant la séparation de la cellule-mère en deux cellules-filles, certaines molécules dans le cytoplasme se redistribuent de façon asymétrique (polarisée). Ce travail a montré la faisabilité de l'étude de la division cellulaire asymétrique à l'échelle de la molécule unique. Les méthodes ont été conçues et développées pour la conjugaison et la caractérisation des complexes QD-protéines. Nous avons réussi à cibler les protéines localisées de manière asymétrique dans des neuroblastes en division. Cela ouvre la voie à des études intracellulaires de ce phénomène, en utilisant des QDs individuels Ce travail a également mis en évidence la limite principale de ce système expérimental : la nature tridimensionnelle des mouvements. En raison de l'épaisseur de la neuroblate, les QDs sortent du plan focal très souvent. En conséquence, l'obtention des trajectoires suffisamment longues pour le calcul des paramètres de transport, devient très difficile. Toutefois, certaines informations peuvent encore être extraites des données que nous avons obtenues, en analysant la répartition spatiale de "courts-déplacements" dans les films obtenus. Les déplacements des QDs entre deux images consécutives sont regroupés et analysés en fonction de leur emplacement par rapport à une carte polaire normalisée d'un neuroblaste polarisé. Une telle analyse n'a pas besoin des trajectoires longues mais peut, quand même, révèler des differences dans la mobilité des protéines entre les differents domaines de la cellule. Cette analyse est actuellement en cours. Nous avons aussi réussi à produire des sondes monovalentes pour le suivi des proteines membranaires extracellulaires. Ces sondes sont basées sur un fragment de chaîne variable d'anticorp (ScFv). Ces sondes doivent avoir des nombreuses applications dans le suivi des diverses protéines membranaires, mais doivent être améliorées afin de répondre aux exigences rigoureuses du suivi intracellulaire.

Abstract:

FtsL, DivIC et DivIB sont trois protéines membranaires impliquées dans la division bactérienne. Leur fonction n'est pas totalement comprise, mais semble mutuellement dépendante, notamment à travers la formation de complexes. Pour contribuer à la connaissance structurale des protéines de la division bactérienne et apporter des indices sur la fonction des trois protéines citées, une étude structurale a été menée sur un système modèle de protéines recombinantes solubles de S. pneumoniae: FtsL, DivIC et DivIB. La partie extracellulaire de DivIB, un complexe contraint des parties extracellulaires de FtsL et DivIC, et l'interaction entre ce complexe et la partie extracellulaire de DivIB ont été étudiés par plusieurs techniques biophysiques (RMN, SAXS, SANS, BIA par SPR). La partie extracellulaire de DivIB est composée de trois domaines dont le domaine central est structuralement proche de son orthologue chez E. coli, et interagit avec un complexe des parties extracellulaires de DivIC et FtsL, via ce domaine central. Un épitope d'interaction sur ce domaine a été identifié. Les domaines C-terminaux de FtsL et divIC sont essentiels à l'interaction avec la partie extracellulaire de DivIB. Un modèle à basse résolution du complexe de ces trois protéines présente en effet le domaine central de la partie extracellulaire de DivIB à l'extrémité du complexe des parties extracellulaires de DivIC et FtsL. Différents modèles d'association dans la cellule, des protéines DivIB, DivIC et FtsL ont été évalués avec ces nouvelles données structurales.

Abstract:

This thesis presents experimental and theoretical work towards the development of advanced integrated planar optical devices for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) applications in optical communication systems. The presented work lies within a broad range of research areas, namely: design and simulation of novel Bragg grating based WDM passive devices, their performance characterization in simulated optical communication systems, fabrication and characterization of photosensitive thin films and finally device fabrication using ultraviolet induced refractive index changes. A complete model for the analysis of Bragg grating assisted devices in waveguide structures has been developed. Bragg grating based optical Add/Drop multiplexers (OADM) have been simulated and studied by using this modelling tool. A fully optimised design for an OADM based on null coupler and tilted Bragg grating has been proposed. This device can exhibit optimised Add and Drop actions with suppressed backreflections and crosstalk to a level lower than -40 dB. A novel interferometric OADM configuration based on a full cycle full (100%) coupler is also proposed. This design exhibits fully optimised and symmetrical Add/Drop actions in contrast to the compromised performance of traditional interferometric configurations. A software simulation tool has also been developed and employed for the theoretical characterization of optical filters, linking this way the proposed devices to real communication system issues related to high bit rate WDM networks. The effect of group delay ripple in WDM filters is studied for different modulation formats and a simplified figure of merit is proposed for the characterization of the effect. For the fabrication of photosensitive thin film structures, a prototype in-house Flame Hydrolysis Deposition facility was built and it was initially characterized. Further experimental work involved detailed analysis and characterization of highly photosensitive Lead Germanate glasses grown by Pulsed Laser Deposition. A developed direct UV-writing facility is presented and major issues around the functionality of the technique are discussed, by demonstrating solutions for the control of the optical system. A rapid heat treatment technique is also proposed for locking the enhanced photosensitivity in deuterium loaded germanosilicate glasses and successful preliminary results are demonstrated. This method should allow finally the fabrication of complex all-UV-written devices, which has been limited to date by the degrading photosensitivity during UV writing, due to rapid deuterium outdiffusion.

Full text

Abstract:

This PhD thesis, undertaken within the framework of MODEGAP, covers the design and optimization of high-performance in-line Multimode Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers (MM-EDFAs) or Few-mode (FM) EDFA for next-generation SDM transmission systems based on Mode-Division Multiplexing (MDM). In the MM-EDFAs, minimizing the differential modal gain (DMG) is of paramount importance to prevent system outage. By using an experimentally validated commercial amplifier simulator, I proposed a 2-mode-group EDF design incorporating ring doping that allows accurate modal gain control amongst the two-mode groups using a simple and much more practical LP01 pump mode. Subsequently a 2-mode-group ring-doped EDF according to my design was fabricated in-house and a portable 2-mode-group EDFA with low DMG built and tested, confirming my predictions. My 2-mode-group EDFA design lay at the heart of several successful 2-mode-group fiber based transmission experiments, as listed in this thesis. To investigate the vector modes effects in FM-EDFAs, we developed our own MM-EDFA simulator capable of modelling both the Linear Polarized (LP) modes and the full vector solutions. We have concluded that, in practice, the LP amplifier model is valid and sufficient enough to predict the FM-EDFA performance. I proposed a 4-mode-group EDFA design that offered DMG < 1dB across four-mode groups using a customized pump profile. As the number of guided modes increases, the required pump power also increases which means expensive single-mode pump diodes are needed in the core-pumping approach. Cladding pumping is an alternative way to provide pump radiation with the advantages of reducing the costs. Consequently, I upgraded our in-house amplifier simulator to a cladding-pump-able MM-EDFA design tool incorporating an optimization algorithm (i.e. Genetic Algorithm) that accepts customized criteria and allows a large number of free parameters to be optimized simultaneously. Using this tool, I proposed the designs and optimizations of cladding-pumped 4 and 6-mode-group EDFAs. Apart from the standard step-index MM-EDFAs, I also investigated novel fiber amplifiers with ring-index profiles for SDM applications. The first type of ring-index fiber discussed in this thesis is of solid core and weakly guiding. The solid-core ring core fiber has an advantage of reducing digital signal processing complexity in MDM transmission. I proposed a 6-mode-group ring core multimode erbium doped fiber amplifier (RC-MM-EDFA) capable of providing almost identical gain among the six mode groups within the C band using either core- or cladding-pumped implementations. The second type of ring-index fiber is an air-core fiber that enables the stable transmission of Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) modes, which can be used as another degree of freedom for information multiplexing. I have created a new variant of my amplifier model targeting OAM modes and have achieved DMG lower than 0.5 dB for 12 OAM modes in an air-core EDF.

Abstract:

Mathematical modeling has been important in the study of biology. Two main challenges with modeling biological problems are the lack of quantitative data and the complexity of biological problems. With the invention of new techniques, like single molecule transcript counting, very quantitative gene expression measurements at the level of single transcript in individual cells can now be obtained. Biological systems are very complex, involving many reactions and players with unknown reaction rates. To reduce the complexity, scientists have often proposed simplified phenomenological models that are tractable and capture the main essence of the biological systems. These simplified models allow scientists to describe the behavior of biological systems with a few meaningful parameters. In this thesis, by integrating quantitative single-cell measurements with phenomenological modeling, we study the (1) roles of Wnt ligands and receptors in sensing and amplification in Caenorhabditis elegans’ P cells and (2) regulation of rDNA transcription in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The initiation of cell polarity consists of two sequential processes: an external gradient is first sensed and then the resulting signal is amplified by intracellular signaling. It is challenging to determine the role of proteins towards sensing and amplification as these two processes are intertwined. We integrated quantitative single-cell measurements with phenomenological modeling to determine the roles of Wnt ligands and receptors in sensing and amplification in the P cells of Caenorhabditis elegans. By systematically exploring how P cell polarity is altered in Wnt ligand and receptor mutants, we inferred that ligands predominantly affect sensing, whereas receptors are needed for both sensing and amplification. Most eukaryotes contain many tandem repeats of ribosomal RNA genes of which only a subset is transcribed at any given time. Current biochemical methods allow for the determination of the fraction of transcribing repeats (ON) versus nontranscribing repeats (OFF) but do not provide any dynamical information. By using the single molecule transcript counting technique complemented with theoretical modeling, we determine the rate of switching from OFF to ON (activation rate) and the average number of RNA molecules produced during each transcriptional burst (burst size). We explore how these two variables change in mutants and different growth conditions.

Doctor of Philosophy
Department of Physics
Eleanor C. Sayre
In this dissertation I will start with the broad research question of what does problem solving in upper division physics look like? My focus in this study is on students' problem solving in physics theory courses. Some mathematical formalisms are common across all physics core courses such as using the process of separation of variables, doing Taylor series, or using the orthogonality properties of mathematical functions to set terms equal to zero. However, there are slight differences in their use of these mathematical formalisms across different courses, possibly because of how students map different physical systems to these processes. Thus, my first main research question aims to answer how students perform these recurring processes across upper division physics courses. I break this broad question into three particular research questions: What knowledge pieces do students use to make connections between physics and procedural math? How do students use their knowledge pieces coherently to provide reasoning strategies in estimation problems? How do students look ahead into the problem to read the information out of the physical scenario to align their use of math in physics? Building on the previous body of the literature, I will use the theory family of Knowledge in Pieces and provide evidence to expand this theoretical foundation. I will compare my study with previous studies and provide suggestions on how to generalize these theory expansions for future use. My experimental data mostly come from video-based classroom data. Students in groups of 2-4 students solve in-class problems in quantum mechanics and electromagnetic fields 1 courses collaboratively. In addition, I will analyze clinical interviews to demonstrate how a single case study student plays an epistemic game to estimate the total energy in a hurricane. My second research question is more focused on a particular instructional context. How do students frame problem solving in quantum mechanics? I will lay out a new theoretical framework based in epistemic framing that separates the problem solving space into four frames divided along two axes. The first axis models students' framing in math and physics, expanded through the second axis of conceptual problem solving and algorithmic problem solving. I use this framework to show how students navigate problem solving. Lastly, I will use this developed framework to interpret existing difficulties in quantum mechanics.

How can we construct socio-technical system such that they constantly evolve to improve themselves? This is the central question of this thesis. We propose a "senseable Kaizen" philosophy. This involves the central tenets of the Kaizen strategy while incorporating passive and active sensing data collection to analyze the easily missed social cues critical to understand and improve a socio-technical system. We test our hypothesis by applying it to three disparate systems ranging in size, complexity, and processes. In the LVPEI experiment, we identified that prolonged patient wait times were the outcome of the lack of adherence to appointment-based system. Only 33% of the patients showed up on time. The large volume of walk-in patients resulted in build-up of patients during peak-times (11am - 3pm) this contributed to 23% drop in time for patient work-up, 39% drop in patient-doctor time, and 16% increase in cross-referrals for patients. To compensate the staff worked 24% over their allotted hours. In Santiago, Chile working with urban logistics carriers, we found that the institutional knowledge of drivers plays a key role in understanding and building delivery routes. Only 53% of the drivers adhered to the "optimized" route provided to them by the dispatcher. Traffic congestion, delays at customer sites, familiarity with the customer, and on-site parking led to drivers making decisions that best suited their needs. At the Roskilde Music Festival experiment, we use crowdsourcing to collect data incidents that go unreported at a large gathering. We learned about the close social ties that develop due to the shared experience of festival attendees and the need to preserve privacy and security of users in a platform like ours. Finally we propose a refined model of Kaizen strategy incorporating a "living lab" approach to managing socio-technical systems. We portray a world where socio-technical systems are continuously evolving using the bytes of data collected from an open innovation ecosystem.

Abstract:

Satellites and spacecraft in orbit can impact micrometeorites and other debris at velocities exceeding thousands of meters per second. The shock pressures and temperatures created by these hypervelocity impacts greatly surpass standard material strengths, and deform structures in unconventional failure modes. Under these extreme conditions and strain rates, plastic deformation of a solid can resemble viscous fluidic motion. Using meshless finite element analysis methods, the present research attempts to quantify this fluidic structural response and identify analogous interactions in fluid dynamics.
