It’s time for transparency
The performance ’It's Time for Transparency’, conceived by Jenny McNally, contends with the experience of former residents of Parramatta Girls Home in dealing with child welfare system and the control of their lives through records in the present. This video artwork is an experimental representation of the performance project presented at the opening of 'Living Traces: a Parragirls print and artist book exhibition' on 26 May 2016, featuring Zsuzsi Soboslay and Ruby Soboslay Moore, at Parramatta Girls Home, narrated by Jenny McNally
Application and Use of Multivariate Control Charts In a BTA Deep Hole Drilling Process
Deep hole drilling methods are used for producing holes with a high length-to-diameter ratio, good surface finish and straightness. The process is subject to dynamic disturbances usually classified as either chatter vibration or spiralling. In this paper, we will focus on the application and use of multivariate control charts to monitor the process in order to detect chatter vibrations. The results showed that chatter is detected and some alarm signals occurs at time points which can be connected to physical changes of the process. --
Three Siphonostomatoid Copepods (Dirivultidae) from a Deep-sea Hydrothermal Vent Field in the Central Indian Ridge
Three species of copepods belonging to the family Dirivultidae (Siphonostomatoida) are collected from a deep sea hydrothermal vent field on the Central Indian Ridge in the Indian Ocean during the conduct the deep sea research cruse (July 28 – August 16 2017) by R/V ISABU of Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology (KIOST), and reported. They consist of Aphotopontius limulatus Humes previously known from vent fields in the East Pacific and two new species, as follows: Aphotopontius n. sp. and Stygiopontius n. sp. Aphotopontius n. sp. is characterized by the presence of the inner coxal seta in the first to third legs, not in the fourth leg, 2.86 times as long as wide of the caudal ramus in the female, and the lateral margin with an angular apex in the genital double-somite. Stygiopontius n. sp. is easily distinguishable from the congeners by the possessing the only three setae on the inner lobe in the maxillule, and a large tubercle on the first endopodal segment and two spinules-tipped distal spines on the second endopodal segment in the antenna. This is the first record on copepods living in vent fields of the Indian Ocean. – August 16 2017) by R/V ISABU of Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology (KIOST), and reported.

Image Search Engine for Digital History: A deep learning approach
This research investigates and describes an image search engine for digital history using deep learning technologies. It is part of the Engineering Historical Memory research, contributing to a multilingual and transcultural approach to decode-encode the treasure of human experience and transmit it to the next generation of world citizens. The engine provides a new way to search in online (historical) digital libraries using content-based image retrieval and makes linguistic metadata redundant. State-of-the-art deep learning methodologies in computer vision have been investigated and tested. These methodologies include both template-based matching and feature-based matching. A VGG16 Convolutional Neural Network based approach, called D2-Net, is concluded to provide the best basis. D2-Net is then further analyzed, improved, and optimized to run on a large dataset of more than 12k image combinations related to history, heritage, and art. The final implementation shows promising results with a precision of 0.96 and a recall of 0.44 on a challenging testing dataset. Future improvements include speed improvement and model training.Authors are listed in alphabetical order (Hardy-Littlewood Rule). https://github.com/EHM-Search-Engines/ISEDH-Deep-Learning Github repository containing the source code and documentation for this thesis.Engineering Historical MemoryElectrical Engineerin
First documented record of a living solemyid bivalve in a pockmark of the Nile Deep-sea Fan (eastern Mediterranean Sea)
A living specimen of a solemyid bivalve was collected at bathyal depths near a pockmark in the Nile Deep-sea Fan (eastern Mediterranean) and is here presented. Both taxonomic and molecular results suggest a Solemya species but due to the small size of the animal and the lack of molecular data for other solemyid species the species cannot be determined. This is the first record of a living solemyid from deep-sea cold seeps in the Mediterranean Basin.FCT - SFRH/ BPD/64154/2009ANR DEEP-OASES - ANRO6BDV005CHEMECO ESF EURODEEPMPG-CNRS-GDRE - DIWOO

Abundance of small individuals influences the effectiveness of processing techniques for deep-sea nematodes
Nematodes are the most abundant metazoans of deep-sea benthic communities, but knowledge of their distribution is limited relative to larger organisms. Whilst some aspects of nematode processing techniques, such as extraction, have been extensively studied, other key elements have attracted little attention. We compared the effect of (1) mesh size (63, 45, and 32 μm) on estimates of nematode abundance, biomass, and body size, and (2) microscope magnification (50 and 100×) on estimates of nematode abundance at bathyal sites (250-3100 m water depth) on the Challenger Plateau and Chatham Rise, south-west Pacific Ocean. Variation in the effectiveness of these techniques was assessed in relation to nematode body size and environmental parameters (water depth, sediment organic matter content, %silt/clay, and chloroplastic pigments). The 63-μm mesh retained a relatively low proportion of total nematode abundance (mean ±SD = 55 ±9%), but most of nematode biomass (90 ± 4%). The proportion of nematode abundance retained on the 45-μm mesh in surface (0-1 cm) and subsurface (1-5 cm) sediment was significantly correlated (P < 0.01) with %silt/clay (R² = 0.39) and chloroplastic pigments (R² = 0.29), respectively. Variation in median nematode body weight showed similar trends, but relationships between mean nematode body weight and environmental parameters were either relatively weak (subsurface sediment) or not significant (surface sediment). Using a low magnification led to significantly lower (on average by 43%) nematode abundance estimates relative to high magnification (P < 0.001), and the magnitude of this difference was significantly correlated (P < 0.05) with total nematode abundance (R²p = 0.53) and the number of small (≤ 250 μm length) individuals (R²p = 0.05). Our results suggest that organic matter input and sediment characteristics influence the abundance of small nematodes in bathyal communities. The abundance of small individuals can, in turn, influence abundance estimates obtained using different mesh sizes and microscope magnifications
Deep Curation: A New Dialogic Poetry Reading
Deep Curation embodies the magic of literary studies very generally speaking—interpretation is driven by the mind of the critic reading a text, studying an author, formulating an argument. By placing poems and authors in intricate dialogue with one another, the Deep Curator sensually tracks and imprints an interpretation of literature into the act of listening
