140g unsalted butter 200g dark chocolate 100g light brown sugar 100g caster sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 eggs 1 egg yolk 85g plain flour 55g macadamia nuts, lightly toasted, chopped 30g crystallised ginger, chopped Sifted cocoa powder, to dust

A different take on veal to warm up a dinner party.

I seriously love cooking on the Weber more in winter cooler temperature make us feel more cosy and accentuate the taste buds and smell . Replaced the traditional peanuts with our wonderful local macadamias

Delicious Australian dish with fresh Lilly Pilly and finger lime spritzer.

125g butter, softened 1 cup caster sugar 1 egg 1 tsp vanilla essence 1 and 1/2 cups plain flour, sifted 1 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp. pepper leaf spice, ground 1 cup white chocolate chips 1/3 cup raw macadamia nuts, chopped

Love this time of year where our makers are abundant with the sweet aroma of fresh basil . Here is my take on a fancy potato salad of macadamia pesto , crispy prosciutto, sweet cherry tomatoes

The local lady finger bananas are so sweet and moorish!

Alejandro Saravia from Pastuso, shared this recipe on Foodie Tuesday, a weekly segment on ABC Radio Melbourne's Drive program at 3.30pm.

This salad is inspired by a good chef friend of mine who cooked with me last weekend. Such a healthy way to enjoy broccoli which is so delicious at the moment. It's wonderful to utilize the whole vegetable and the added fibre in the stalk which we use in the salad.Feel free to explore with certain quantities in this recipe therefore I encourage you to taste and adjust to your own personal taste. You can also add chopped green olives which add an extra dimension.

Nothing beats beautifully roasted vegetables caramelized in their own sugar content to accompany a simple roast dinner or even on their own with a nice salad. The addition of perfumed lemon thyme and macadamia gives a nice touch.

This salad is our go-to staple. Everyone loves it. It's healthy, colourful and so, so easy. It can also be made entirely with local ingredients.

State data show more than 200 of Michigan's private schools have closed over the past decade, and many school leaders are blaming a shrinking student population, fewer resources, and rising costs.

We consider the problem of estimating the latent structure of a social network based on the observed information diffusion events, or cascades, where the observations for a given cascade consist of only the timestamps of infection for infected nodes but not the source of the infection. Most of the existing work on this problem has focused on estimating a diffusion matrix without any structural assumptions on it. In this paper, we propose a novel model based on the intuition that an information is more likely to propagate among two nodes if they are interested in similar topics which are also prominent in the information content. In particular, our model endows each node with an influence vector (which measures how authoritative the node is on each topic) and a receptivity vector (which measures how susceptible the node is for each topic). We show how this node-topic structure can be estimated from the observed cascades, and prove the consistency of the estimator. Experiments on synthetic and real data demonstrate the improved performance and better interpretability of our model compared to existing state-of-the-art methods.

We present LCE, a Local Cascade Ensemble for traditional (tabular) multivariate data classification, and its extension LCEM for Multivariate Time Series (MTS) classification. LCE is a new hybrid ensemble method that combines an explicit boosting-bagging approach to handle the usual bias-variance tradeoff faced by machine learning models and an implicit divide-and-conquer approach to individualize classifier errors on different parts of the training data. Our evaluation firstly shows that the hybrid ensemble method LCE outperforms the state-of-the-art classifiers on the UCI datasets and that LCEM outperforms the state-of-the-art MTS classifiers on the UEA datasets. Furthermore, LCEM provides explainability by design and manifests robust performance when faced with challenges arising from continuous data collection (different MTS length, missing data and noise).

Abstract:
Rhythmic data are ubiquitous in the life sciences. Biologists need reliable statistical tests to identify whether a particular experimental treatment has caused a significant change in a rhythmic signal. When these signals display nonstationary behaviour, as is common in many biological systems, the established methodologies may be misleading. Therefore, there is a real need for new methodology that enables the formal comparison of nonstationary processes. As circadian behaviour is best understood in the spectral domain, here we develop novel hypothesis testing procedures in the (wavelet) spectral domain, embedding replicate information when available. The data are modelled as realisations of locally stationary wavelet processes, allowing us to define and rigorously estimate their evolutionary wavelet spectra. Motivated by three complementary applications in circadian biology, our new methodology allows the identification of three specific types of spectral difference. We demonstrate the advantages of our methodology over alternative approaches, by means of a comprehensive simulation study and real data applications, using both published and newly generated circadian datasets. In contrast to the current standard methodologies, our method successfully identifies differences within the motivating circadian datasets, and facilitates wider ranging analyses of rhythmic biological data in general.
