Eliza Winstanley: performance and writing in early nineteenth-century Australian theatre
Creators: name: Woollard, Jane
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Submission note: This thesis is submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for a Doctor of Philosophy to the Theatre and Drama Program, School of Humanities and Social Sciences, La Trobe University, Victoria.

This thesis investigates the early career of a leading performer, Eliza Winstanley (1818 - 1882), in early Australian theatre. In the period from 1834 to 1846, Winstanley developed into a prolific leading actor in Australia, described by her contemporaries as the ‘Mrs. Siddons of Sydney’ and ‘a star of the first magnitude’. She became pre-eminent in tragic, melodramatic and character roles including male roles as well as comic roles both in Australia and overseas. From 1859 she was also known for her sensationalist fiction. The thesis draws on archival and scholarly sources on Winstanley’s contribution to the nascent Sydney theatre in the 1830s and 1840s, which was crucial to the development of Australia’s theatre. It presents a descriptive history on the scholarship and a script, Miss W Treads, together with a creative development performance on film. The thesis asks: how significant was Winstanley’s artistic contribution to the creation of the productions in which she performed, and to new plays written in Sydney during the 1840s? This thesis argues that Winstanley’s contribution to early Australian theatre was more significant than theatre historians have recognised in accounts of Winstanley’s performances and early Australian playwriting (Nance Irvine, Helen Oppenheim, Eric Irvin, Margaret Williams, Veronica Kelly, Katherine Newey, Katherine Brisbane, Richard Fotheringham and Catriona Mills). It adds to this established historical record through an investigation of Winstanley’s oeuvre in archival research and practice, and the creative development investigates Winstanley’s performing and theatre productions through workshop processes; the script and a short film of the creative development are presented together with the written thesis component. The script, Miss W Treads presents possible scenarios in which Winstanley collaborates with her husband Henry O’Flaherty, in order to challenge assumptions that nineteenth-century female performers were less active in the creative process than their male colleagues and spouses.

description: Covert communication, also known as low probability of detection (LPD) communication, prevents the adversary from knowing that a communication is taking place. Recent work has demonstrated that, in a three-party scenario with a transmitter (Alice), intended recipient (Bob), and adversary (Warden Willie), the maximum number of bits that can be transmitted reliably from Alice to Bob without detection by Willie, when additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels exist between all parties, is on the order of the square root of the number of channel uses. In this paper, we begin consideration of network scenarios by studying the case where there are additional "friendly" nodes present in the environment that can produce artificial noise to aid in hiding the communication. We establish achievability results by considering constructions where the system node closest to the warden produces artificial noise and demonstrate a significant improvement in the throughput achieved covertly, without requiring close coordination between Alice and the noise-generating node. Conversely, under mild restrictions on the communication strategy, we demonstrate no higher covert throughput is possible. Extensions to the consideration of the achievable covert throughput when multiple wardens randomly located in the environment collaborate to attempt detection of the transmitter are also considered.

description: As information and communication technology develops, digital literacy education becomes more crucial. However, many students lack the basic skills to utilize digital technology efficiently and safely. The purpose of this study is to address the problem of digital literacy among students by using an action-oriented approach. The method of action was chosen because it allows active involvement of students in the learning process. The study was conducted in an upper secondary school with 12th grade students. This therapy consists of an introduction to the Microsoft Word application, an overview of its functions and how to correctly and accurately generate reports. This activity is expected to make students experience an increase in digital literacy knowledge and skills after the intervention. Not only that, students also showed improved critical thinking skills and better use of technology. In summary, the method of action is effective in addressing the problem of digital literacy and can be used as a model in various educational situations to improve digital literacy among students.
title: Identity and identification in an information society: Augmenting formal systems of identification with technological artefacts
Creators: name: Abramson, Will
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University
Year: 2023

description: Information and Communication Technology (ICT) are transforming society’s information flows. These new interactive environments decouple agents, information and actions from their original contexts and this introduces challenges when evaluating trustworthiness and intelligently placing trust.
This thesis develops methods that can extend institutional trust into digitally enhanced interactive settings. By applying privacy-preserving cryptographic protocols within a technical architecture, this thesis demonstrates how existing human systems of identification that support institutional trust can be augmented with ICT in ways that distribute trust, respect privacy and limit the potential for abuse. Importantly, identification systems are located within a sociologically informed framework of interaction where identity is more than a collection of static attributes.
A synthesis of the evolution and systematisation of cryptographic knowledge is presented and this is juxtaposed against the ideas developed within the digital identity community. The credential mechanism, first conceptualised by David Chaum, has matured into a number of well specified mathematical protocols. This thesis focuses on CL-RSA and BBS+, which are both signature schemes with efficient protocols that can instantiate a credential mechanism with strong privacy-preserving properties.
The processes of managing the identification of healthcare professionals as they navigate their careers within the Scottish Healthcare Ecosystem provide a concrete case study for this work. The proposed architecture mediates the exchange of verifiable, integrity-assured evidence that has been cryptographically signed by relevant healthcare institutions, but is stored, managed and presented by the healthcare professionals to whom the evidence pertains.
An evaluation of the integrity-assured transaction data produced by this architecture demonstrates how it could be integrated into digitally augmented identification processes, increasing the assurance that can be placed in these processes. The technical architecture is shown to be practical through a series of experiments run under realistic production-like settings.
This work demonstrates that designing decentralised, standards-based, privacy-preserving identification systems for trusted professionals within highly assured social contexts can distribute institutionalised trust to trustworthy individuals and empower these individuals to interface with society’s increasingly socio-technical systems.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) early pathogenesis is associated with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress that is linked to the accumulation of misfolded proteins in the ER. Thus the primary aim of this thesis was to investigate cellular trafficking mechanisms associated with ER stress. The secondary aim of this thesis was to examine protein disulphide isomerase (PDI), an ER chaperone that is upregulated as a protective response to ER stress, by exploring potential binding partners of PDI as well as the therapeutic value of a PDI mimic. The first study examined ER-Golgi transport inhibition in ALS-linked mutations in superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), fused in sarcoma (FUS) and transactive response (TAR) DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43). Transport from the ER to the ER-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC) was not affected in mutant SOD1 expressing cells, while mutant TDP-43 and FUS were found to inhibit ERERGIC transport and to be associated with ERGIC disorganisation. This suggests that mutant TDP-43 and FUS inhibit an earlier stage of ER-Golgi transport than mutant SOD1. Rab1, a molecular switch that regulates ER-Golgi trafficking, was found to form aggregate-like structures that colocalised with TDP-43 in a proportion of spinal cord motor neurons from ALS patients. The second study found that ALS-linked UBQLN2 mutations inhibited ER-Golgi transport and were associated with ER stress, ERGIC disorganisation, Golgi fragmentation and autophagy dysfunction. In the third study, apolipoprotein AII (apoA-II) was found to be a potential binding partner of PDI in the spinal cords of ALS patients and to SOD1 in cells expressing mutant SOD1, suggesting lipid transport dysfunction in ALS. In the final chapter the therapeutic efficacy of PDI mimic compound 35 was examined in the SOD1G93A mouse, but was found to be ineffective potentially due to the poor solubility of the drug. In conclusion, the main finding of this thesis is that disruption of trafficking in the early secretory pathway is associated with the pathogenesis of ALS.

description: Two types of Eulerian action principles for relativistic extended magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) are formulated. With the first, the action is extremized under the constraints of density, entropy, and Lagrangian label conservation, which leads to a Clebsch representation for a generalized momentum and a generalized vector potential. The second action arises upon transformation to physical field variables, giving rise to a covariant bracket action principle, i.e., a variational principle in which constrained variations are generated by a degenerate Poisson bracket. Upon taking appropriate limits, the action principles lead to relativistic Hall MHD and well-known relativistic ideal MHD. For the first time, the Hamiltonian formulation of relativistic Hall MHD with electron thermal inertia (akin to [Comisso \textit{et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 113}, 045001 (2014)] for the electron--positron plasma) is introduced. This thermal inertia effect allows for violation of the frozen-in magnetic flux condition in marked contrast to nonrelativistic Hall MHD that does satisfy the frozen-in condition. We also find violation of the frozen-in condition is accompanied by freezing-in of an alternative flux determined by a generalized vector potential. Finally, we derive a more general 3+1 Poisson bracket for nonrelativistic extended MHD, one that does not assume smallness of the electron ion mass ratio.

description: Chapter One outlines the aims and scope of this thesis. This chapter also includes a discussion of the nature of economic fluctuations an of recent business cycle fluctuations in the Australian economy in particular. It concludes with a brief review of the methodology of the indicator approach to business cycle analysis and a review of studies of the Australian economy based on this approach. Chapter Two explains how spectral methods can be used to explore the timing relationships between economic indicators at business cycle frequencies and reviews current research on the spectral analysis of economic fluctuations. Chapter Three applies spectral methods to an analysis of business cycle fluctuations in the Australian economy, 1950-1974. In this chapter, the basic issues underlying the analysis are first reviewed - the selection of a suitable reference series, the methods used to adjust the data to remove trend and seasonal influences and the range of frequencies necessary to cover the post-war business cycle. The results of the cross-spectral analysis of selected economic series with the reference series, Unfilled Vacancies, are reported and a comparison is made with the results f other studies on the timing of business cycle fluctuations in Australia. Chapter Four provides concluding comments on the value of indicator analysis and of spectral techniques in the study of business cycle fluctuations. The appendix contains details of the data and the computer programs used.

description: We apply the generalized Boltzmann theory to describe thermoelectric transport properties of monolayer phosphorene in the presence of short- and long-range charged impurity interactions. First, we propose a low-energy Hamiltonian to explore the accurate electronic band structure of phosphorene in comparison with those results obtained by density-functional simulations. We explain the effect of the coupling between the conduction and valence bands on the thermoelectric properties. We show that the electric conductivity of phosphorene is highly anisotropic, while the Seebeck coefficient and figure of merit, without being influenced via either the presence or absence of the coupling term, are nearly isotropic. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the conductivity for the $n$ type of doping is more influenced by the coupling term than that of the $p$ type. Along with thermopower sign change, profound thermoelectric effects can be achieved.

Generalised method of moments tests of mean-variance efficiency of the Australian equity market

description: For many years the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) developed by Sharpe (1964) and Lintner (1965) was the primary asset pricing model of financial theory. Over time, persistent criticism regarding the strict assumptions underlying the model resulted in numerous extensions of the model. Each extension involved relaxing one or more of the underlying assumptions. Unfortunately, empirical tests of these extensions have not proven to be ultimately superior. Early tests of the CAPM faced many problems ranging from fundamental conceptual problems to practical econometric problems. Some of these problems were overcome when Roll (1977) delivered his damaging critique about the CAPM. He basically concluded that the CAPM and all its extensions could never be tested because the true market index, the only regressor of the model, was not observable. Tests of the CAPM could thus only be interpreted as tests of whether or not the market index (the market's proxy) was mean-variance efficient. Tests of mean-variance efficiency tests whether or not a portfolio of risky assets has the greatest expected return for a given level of risk. In theory, the market portfolio should be a mean-variance efficient portfolio. [...]
Voice, valence and focus in Makassarese
Creators: name: Jukes, Anthony
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Makassarese (South Sulawesi) has a set of verb prefixes cognate with voice-marking morphology in other Austronesian languages of Indonesia and the Philippines. However,unlike many of these languages, Makassarese has an asymmetrical voice system with a passive prefix ni-opposed to several constructions loosely termed ‘active’. One construction with the prefix aN(N)- shares features of both transitive and intransitive clauses. This paper will examine this construction, evaluate previous analyses suggesting it is ‘formally intransitive’, ‘antipassive’ or a marker of ‘agent focus’, and propose a different analysis with the label ‘semi-transitive’. Finally, it will discuss the use of a pre-predicate focus slot, which serves several of the functions typically fulfilled by a voice system in other West Austronesian languages.

description: Main sequence turn-off (MSTO) stars have advantages as indicators of Galactic evolution since their ages could be robustly estimated from atmospheric parameters. Hundreds of thousands of MSTO stars have been selected from the LAMOST Galactic sur- vey to study the evolution of the Galaxy, and it is vital to derive accurate stellar parameters. In this work, we select 150 MSTO star candidates from the MSTO stars sample of Xiang that have asteroseismic parameters and determine accurate stellar parameters for these stars combing the asteroseismic parameters deduced from the Kepler photometry and atmospheric parameters deduced from the LAMOST spectra.With this sample, we examine the age deter- mination as well as the contamination rate of the MSTO stars sample. A comparison of age between this work and Xiang shows a mean difference of 0.53 Gyr (7%) and a dispersion of 2.71 Gyr (28%). The results show that 79 of the candidates are MSTO stars, while the others are contaminations from either main sequence or sub-giant stars. The contamination rate for the oldest stars is much higher than that for the younger stars. The main cause for the high contamination rate is found to be the relatively large systematic bias in the LAMOST surface gravity estimates.

description: Die Anforderungen an den Datendurchsatz und die Energieeffizienz in der zukünftigen drahtlosen Heim- und Multimediavernetzung erfordern neue Techniken zur Erhöhung der Spektraleffizienz und zur kooperativen Nutzung knapper Funkressourcen. Interference Alignment (IA) stellt ein mögliches Werkzeug zur effizienten Nutzung der in Mehrbenutzerszenarien zur Verfügung stehenden Kanalkapazität dar. In diesem Beitrag wird die Rechenkomplexität ausgewählter geschlossener und iterativer Interference Alignment Algorithmen für den Einsatz in der digitalen Basisbandverarbeitung in derartigen drahtlosen Hochgeschwindigkeits-Kommunikationssystemen untersucht. Exemplarisch wird dazu der Einsatz von IA in OFDM-basierten Mehrantennensystemen betrachtet. Basierend darauf wird ein speziell auf die Energieeffizienzforderungen mobiler Anwendungen optimierter dedizierter IA-Hardwarebeschleuniger präsentiert. Weiterhin wird die für den Entwurf hoch optimierter Hardwaremodule verwendete FPGA-basierte Entwurfsumgebung vorgestellt, mit dem Fokus auf der Verifikation und Integration der Module in einen ASIC-Desingfluss. Durch den hybriden Hardware-in-the-Loop Ansatz der Kopplung von Entwurfswerkzeugen auf hohem Abstraktionsniveau mit an die ASIC-Synthese angelehnten Verfahren lässt sich die Hardware-Entwurfszeit deutlich verkürzen.

description: My thesis investigates the association between CEO power, corporate tax avoidance and tax aggressiveness, using two organizational theory perspectives: self-interest and stewardship. I find that a powerful CEO engages in less corporate tax avoidance activities, which lends credence to the risk minimization motive of the stewardship perspective. My findings on the association between CEO power and tax aggressiveness show that powerful CEOs avoid risky tax avoidance strategies that expose a firm to the various tax-related risks, cash flow diminution and reputational concerns associated with aggressive tax avoidance. As such, the results offer further support to the stewardship perspective.

description: The combination and interaction of histone marks and DNA-associated proteins are critical in the regulation of gene transcription. Individual histone marks have been associated with different gene expression states - histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) is associated with “open” chromatin and active transcription while H3K27me3 is associated with “closed” chromatin and a repressive transcriptional state. In certain cases, these marks have been shown to co-localise at genomic loci, and on the same nucleosome. The co-localisation of active H3K4me3 and repressive H3K27me3 marks at CpG promoters is a hallmark of bivalent domains. Bivalent domains have been implicated in priming developmental genes for timely activation. However, the complex network of proteins that bind to these domains to regulate and mediate their influence on transcription is unknown. This study has developed tools to enable the characterisation of the protein networks bound to bivalent domains and other specifically modified nucleosomes. In vitro synthesised specifically modified nucleosomes were utilised in pulldown assays with embryonic stem cell (ESC) nuclear extract to isolate the specific protein binders for different combinations of histone marks. This assay was validated by comparison of proteins bound to symmetrically modified nucleosomes with previously identified protein binders. A comparison of symmetrically and asymmetrically modified nucleosomes has elucidated new binding preferences for known proteins. Analysis of proteins bound to asymmetrically modified nucleosomes showed previously unknown binding affinities and conformational preferences. TAF3, a known H3K4me3 mark binder, prefers to bind symmetrically rather than asymmetrically modified nucleosomes, even when the same amount of the mark is present. Therefore, this preference is not solely dependent on the amount of modification, but also due to the conformation of the marks on the nucleosomes. We have identified multiple key proteins that prefer binding to this specific mark (H3K4me3/K27me3) conformation, including the acetyltransferase KAT6B. Work in mouse ESCs confirmed KAT6B binding to bivalent domains and showed a pronounced differentiation defect in KAT6B-/- cells due to mis-regulation of genes important in development. Further characterisation of these proteins and their interactions will help to clarify bivalent domain function.

description: Consider a channel where authorized transmitter Jack sends packets to authorized receiver Steve according to a Poisson process with rate $λ$ packets per second for a time period $T$. Suppose that covert transmitter Alice wishes to communicate information to covert receiver Bob on the same channel without being detected by a watchful adversary Willie. We consider two scenarios. In the first scenario, we assume that warden Willie cannot look at packet contents but rather can only observe packet timings, and Alice must send information by inserting her own packets into the channel. We show that the number of packets that Alice can covertly transmit to Bob is on the order of the square root of the number of packets that Jack transmits to Steve; conversely, if Alice transmits more than that, she will be detected by Willie with high probability. In the second scenario, we assume that Willie can look at packet contents but that Alice can communicate across an $M/M/1$ queue to Bob by altering the timings of the packets going from Jack to Steve. First, Alice builds a codebook, with each codeword consisting of a sequence of packet timings to be employed for conveying the information associated with that codeword. However, to successfully employ this codebook, Alice must always have a packet to send at the appropriate time. Hence, leveraging our result from the first scenario, we propose a construction where Alice covertly slows down the packet stream so as to buffer packets to use during a succeeding codeword transmission phase. Using this approach, Alice can covertly and reliably transmit $\mathcal{O}(λT)$ covert bits to Bob in time period $T$ over an $M/M/1$ queue with service rate $μ> λ$.

description: Novy-Marx (2013) documents that there is a positive relation between firms’ gross profitability (GP) and average stock returns. This finding contradicts prior literature that finds a weak relation between profitability and stock returns, when other measures of profitability are adopted. He contends that a positive relation between expected profitability and average stock returns is consistent with valuation theory. As such, GP is potentially a superior proxy of expected profitability, whereby firms with high current GP are expected to have high profitability in the future. This thesis further examines the drivers that cause a positive relation between GP and stock returns.

description: We present the current status of $\varepsilon_K$ evaluated directly from the standard model using lattice QCD inputs. The lattice QCD inputs include $\hat{B}_K$, $ξ_0$, $ξ_2$, $|V_{us}|$, $m_c(m_c)$, and $|V_{cb}|$. Recently, FLAG has updated $\hat{B}_K$, exclusive $|V_{cb}|$ has been updated with new lattice data in the $\bar{B}\to D\ell\barν$ decay mode, and RBC-UKQCD has updated $ξ_0$ and $ξ_2$. We find that the standard model evaluation of $\varepsilon_K$ with exclusive $|V_{cb}|$ (lattice QCD inputs) is $3.2σ$ lower than the experimental value, while that with inclusive $|V_{cb}|$ (heavy quark expansion) shows no tension.

description: Land water transition zones (LWTZ) exhibit physicochemical features, which in relation with the spectral sensitivity of the spaceborne sensor, signal to noise ratio of the satellite bands and orbit specifications impose limiting factors for the accuracy of derived inundation maps. Various approaches are implemented based on the degree of specialization of the applied mapping techniques. This study attempts a comparison across the various techniques used by water utilities for monitoring this dynamically changing land area. Visual interpretation of Sentinel-2 images over an isolines map, generated across years at the reservoir of Polyfytos in northern Greece, is compared with the computer-aided derivation of the Normalized Difference Wetness Index to showcase the benefits of multispectral information in fine tuning of the product. Automatic thresholding techniques, originating from computer vision, further enhance the discrimination capacity.

A linear allocation of spending-power system : consumer demand and portfolio model
Creators: name: Clements, Ken
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In the applied literature the household's consumption and portfolio decisions have tended to be viewed separately. This thesis is an initial attempt to remedy this. The household's demand for both commodities and assets, at a reasonably low level of aggregation, is integrated by using a tightly specified utility maximizing model. Utility is a function of both the flow of commodities consumed and the stock of assets held. The consumer demand literature is used as a starting point. The solution to the household's maximum problem generates an allocation system, which is a complete set of demand equations for all commodities and all assets. Two allocation systems are estimated using quarterly Australian data. Wealth, price and interest rate elasticities of demand for each commodity and each asset are reported.

A complex-imprinted polymer inclusion membrane (CIPIM) was investigated and compared to a similar polymer inclusion membrane (PIM) for the extraction of copper from an acidic sulphate medium. The CIPIM used a bulky template of carrier-copper complex during preparation and the copper was subsequently removed before use to yield a working membrane. Improved extraction and transport performance for the CIPIM are hypothesised due to the imprinted complex that should result in a less entangled polymer structure and more open liquid channels in the membrane. Membranes were prepared using various formulations of PVC as polymer and combinations of some commercial copper extractants, plasticizers and modifiers. The membranes were tested to assess their optimal physical and chemical properties. The best CIPIM composition was 50% (w/w) Acorga P50-copper complex as carrier, 40% (w/w) PVC as polymer, and 10% (w/w) 1-dodecanol as modifier. Polymer inclusion membranes (PIMs) of similar composition using 50% (w/w) Acorga P50 as carrier were prepared for comparison. Preliminary experiments demonstrated a 10% improvement in copper extraction using a CIPIM compared to a similar PIM for a feed solution of 50 mg/L of copper at pH 2 and receiving solution of 2M H2SO4. Transport studies to assess permeability, stability and selectivity were also performed. The CIPIM demonstrated a superior copper flux of 2.6 x 10-10 mol.cm-2 .s-1 compared to 6.0 x 10-11 mol.cm-2 .s-1 with PIM. As well, the transport efficiency (%) was significantly better with 99% and 69% for CIPIM and PIM, respectively. The CIPIM also demonstrated a high selectivity for Cu(II) over Fe(III) and Zn(II) at pH 2 in a simulated acid mine drainage solution. During extended use experiments over six cycles, the CIPIM stability decreased significantly in the first four cycles. The transport efficiency (%) decreased from 99% to 80% for CIPIM from the 1st to 6th cycle, respectively. However, in comparison, a more significant decrease in transport efficiency (%) of 69% to 39% for PIM was determined. An improved extraction efficiency and better flux for copper using a CIPIM compared to a PIM of similar composition was demonstrated in the research.

Ernest Duchesne et la thèse prophétique sur l’action antibiotique du Penicillium à la fin du XIXe siècle à Lyon

description: Lors de la séance de l’Académie de médecine du 15 février 1949, l’ancien ministre de la Santé publique et fondateur de la Ligue contre le cancer Justin Godard (1871-1956) fit une communication retentissante sur la thèse soutenue un peu plus d’un demi-siècle auparavant par Ernest Duchesne, un étudiant de la faculté de médecine de Lyon et élève de l’École du service de santé militaire, dans laquelle pour la première fois était rapportée l’action de la pénicilline sur des infections bactériennes expérimentales [1]. Cette thèse oubliée sur une étagère de la bibliothèque de la faculté de médecine de Lyon avait été redécouverte en 1946 par Gaston Ramon et Rémy Richou [2] qui citèrent pour la première fois le nom d’Ernest Duchesne, soit un an après l’attribution du prix Nobel de physiologie ou médecine à Alexander Fleming, Howard Florey et Ernst Boris Chain pour la révolution qu’a constitué l’apport de la pénicilline dans le traitement des maladies infectieuses.

The application of Boolean methods to the school time-tabling problem
Creators: name: Ric Lombardo
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This study concerns itself with the application of Boolean techniques to the solution of the School Time-Tabling Problem. In particular, it involves a discussion of the manner in which all teaching conditions and restrictions within a school may be expressed in the form of Pseudo-Boolean Equations. Moreover, it seeks to outline how these Pseudo-Boolean Equations may be used to conduct a form-by-form tree-search of feasible and/or optimal timetables. This inevitably embraces a discussion of Boolean Algebra in its own right. A dual purpose is thus served. One obviously is academic ; the other is to dispel the apprehensions of the uninitiated to Boolean methods. Indeed, worked out examples will accompany all crucial steps in the argument. Furthermore, a complete glossary of symbols is provided. The primary function of Chapter I is the development of an accounting system which is then used to detect errors in the various data banks. A number of subsidiary functions are also served. Firstly, an introduction to Pseudo-Boolean Equations. Secondaly, the development of a consistent and workable nomenclature describing school activity. Finally, an introduction to the Time-Tabling Problem. The central theme of Chapter II is the concept of Data-Consistent-Infeasibilities. This concept, together with the nomenclature developed in the previous chapter, is used to generate Psudo-Boolean Conditions, every one of which must be satisfied by the feasible timetable. Chapter III illustrates the results of the previous two chapters. Finally, Chapter IV discusses the relative merits and short-comings associated with the alternative routes by which feasible timetables are generated.
