description: Social graphs are widely used in research (e.g., epidemiology) and business (e.g., recommender systems). However, sharing these graphs poses privacy risks because they contain sensitive information about individuals. Graph anonymization techniques aim to protect individual users in a graph, while graph de-anonymization aims to re-identify users. The effectiveness of anonymization and de-anonymization algorithms is usually evaluated with privacy metrics. However, it is unclear how strong existing privacy metrics are when they are used in graph privacy. In this paper, we study 26 privacy metrics for graph anonymization and de-anonymization and evaluate their strength in terms of three criteria: monotonicity indicates whether the metric indicates lower privacy for stronger adversaries; for within-scenario comparisons, evenness indicates whether metric values are spread evenly; and for between-scenario comparisons, shared value range indicates whether metrics use a consistent value range across scenarios. Our extensive experiments indicate that no single metric fulfills all three criteria perfectly. We therefore use methods from multi-criteria decision analysis to aggregate multiple metrics in a metrics suite, and we show that these metrics suites improve monotonicity compared to the best individual metric. This important result enables more monotonic, and thus more accurate, evaluations of new graph anonymization and de-anonymization algorithms.

description: We develop a framework to discuss stability of epigenetic states as first exit problems in dynamical systems with noise. We consider in particular the stability of the lysogenic state of the lambda prophage, which is known to exhibit exceptionally large stability. The formalism defines a quantative measure of robustness of inherited states. In contrast to Kramers' well-known problem of escape from a potential well, the stability of inherited states in our formulation is not a numerically trivial problem. The most likely exit path does not go along a steepest decent of a potential -- there is no potential. Instead, such a path can be described as a zero-energy trajectory between two equilibria in an auxiliary classical mechanical system. Finding it is similar to e.g. computing heteroclinic orbits in celestial mechanics. The overall lesson of this study is that an examination of equilibria and their bifurcations with changing parameter values allow us to quantify both the stability and the robustness of particular states of a genetic control system.

Writing a preface : critical social theory and the search for "thinking space" in international relations
Creators: name: George, James Robert
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1992
Subjects: subject: International relations

description: In recent times many of the "givens" of post-World War Two International Relations have undergone remarkable and dramatic change. The Cold War it seems is over, once mortal enemies are recipients of food aid and questions of the ozone layer, AIDS, satellite surveillance and global drug cartels are the stuff of everyday International Relations analysis. In this situation patterns of thought and behaviour regarded, traditionally, as corresponding with a universal, essential "reality" in International Relations have come under increasing scrutiny and challenge. This thesis seeks to make a contribution to the widespread reassessment of contemporary International Relations now taking place. It does so in bringing to the debate the perspectives of a broad critical literature which has urged a more tolerant, selfreflective and sophisticated approach to theory and practice in a period resonant with old dangers and unique opportunities. It does so, more specifically, from a Critical Social Theory perspective which over that past decade has introduced to the International Relations agenda a range of approaches to knowledge and human society previously alien to it. In particular, Critical Social Theory scholarship has located the ostensibly detached tradition and discipline of International Relations as an intrinsic element of a much larger cultural and philosophical enterprise, which, in the post-Enlightenment era, has become the dominant way of "knowing" the world and which has successfully transformed a particular "meaning" of reality into "reality" per se. This, singular, homogeneous and narrowly focused image of the world has become International Relations in the post-World War Two period, establishing the boundaries of legitimate and relevant theory and research and underpining the "art of the possible" in policy terms. From a variety of Critical Social Theory perspectives scholars have sought to alert the International Relations community to the problems and dangers of this approach in an increasingly complex world. This is a central concern of this thesis which, via post modernist influences in particular, critically addresses issues crucial to future global power relations, in order that they be accorded a more serious and sophisticated treatment and that possibilities and potentials for thinking, speaking and acting in different ways be no longer silenced and excluded in the traditional manner.
The influence of the weak bond-energy dimerization on the single-particle optical conductivity of quasi-one-dimensional systems

description: The single-particle contributions to the optical conductivity of the quasi-one-dimensional systems has been reexamined by using the gauge-invariant transverse microscopic approach. The valence electrons are described by a model with the weak bond-energy dimerization, while the relaxation processes are taken into account phenomenologically. It turns out that the interband conductivity of the insulating half-filled case fits well the single-particle optical conductivity measured in various CDW systems. In the metallic regime, for the doubled Fermi vector 2k_F close to π/a, the conduction electrons exhibit a non-Drude low-frequency response, with the total spectral weight shared between the intraband and interband channels nearly in equal proportions. For 2k_F - π/a not to small, the behaviour of the conduction electrons can be described as the response of a simple Drude metal.

description: The $1\mathrm{s}n\mathrm{p}\,^3\mathrm{P}_J$ fine structure of high Rydberg states in helium has been measured by microwave spectroscopy of single-photon transitions from $1\mathrm{s}n\mathrm{s}\,^3\mathrm{S}_1$ levels in pulsed supersonic beams. For states with principal quantum numbers in the range from $n=34$ to 36, the $J = 0 \rightarrow 2$ and $J = 1 \rightarrow 2$ fine structure intervals were both observed. For values of $n$ between 45 and 51 only the larger $J = 0 \rightarrow 2$ interval was resolved. The experimental results are in good agreement with theoretical predictions. Detailed characterization of residual uncancelled electric and magnetic fields in the experimental apparatus, and calculations of the Stark and Zeeman structures of the Rydberg states in weak fields, were used to quantify systematic contributions to the uncertainties in the measurements.

description: Context: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common systemic auto-immune disease, which is characterized by chronic and symmetry synovial inflammation. Crocin has been reported to exhibit anti-inflammatory effects in animal models. Objective: This study investigates the anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic effects of crocin on type II collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in Wistar rats. Materials and methods: The CIA rat model was established and randomly divided into five groups with or without crocin treatment (10, 20 or 40 mg/kg), which was started on day 21 after arthritis induction and persisted for 36 days. The symptoms and molecular mechanisms of CIA and crocin-treated CIA rats were compared and investigated. Results: CIA rats presented severe RA symptoms, including high arthritis score, paw swelling, joint inflammation, bone erosion, chondrocyte death, cartilage destruction, enhanced expressions of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) and pro-inflammatory cytokines. However, crocin could mitigate these symptoms. Crocin (40 mg/kg) exhibited the most efficient therapeutic function on CIA rats: the histological scores of joint inflammation, bone erosion, chondrocyte death, cartilage surface erosion, and bone erosion of CIA rats receiving 40 mg/kg crocin treatment were comparable to the normal rats. MMP-1, -3 and -13 protein expression levels of CIA rats with 40 mg/kg crocin treatment were decreased to levels similar to normal rats. Moreover, crocin could also inhibit the expression of TNF-α, IL-17, IL-6 and CXCL8 in serum and ankle tissues of CIA rats. Conclusions: In summary, crocin exhibits therapeutic potential for RA, by mitigating the symptoms and inhibiting the pro-inflammatory factor expression.

description: Illusory Correlation (IC) is the perception that two events are associated with each other, when in reality they are not. The current study tested predictions of the Multiple Component Model (MCM) regarding the role different types of information (i.e., evaluative and item-specific information) play in producing the IC effect. The current study extended previous experiments on IC, particularly that by Van Rooy, Vanhoomissen and Van Overwalle (2013), in using two independent trait dimensions (i.e., Common Trait and Rare Trait), rather than the traditionally used one evaluative dimension (i.e., frequent, desirable vs. infrequent, undesirable behaviours). The MCM predicted that, judgements based on evaluative information, would result in an association between the majority group and the common trait (Majority-Common Trait), whereas the minority group would be associated with the rare trait (Minority-Rare Trait). For judgements based on item-specific ! episodic memory, the MCM predicted enhanced memory amongst participants for Minority-Rare Trait statements. Partial support was found for both predictions: Participants did develop a Majority-Common Trait association, but no particular association was formed with the minority group. Additionally, participants did show enhanced memory for Minority-Rare Trait statements. However, they also showed unexpected enhanced memory for Majority-Rare Trait statements. Together, the current results further elucidate the interplay of evaluative and item-specific information when reporting judgments on a majority and minority group respectively. The finding of a Majority-Rare Trait association however, implies the need for further studies to examine the exact nature (i.e., evaluative or episodic) of this association and its implications in causing IC.

description: We have developed and implemented a self-consistent density functional method using standard norm-conserving pseudopotentials and a flexible, numerical LCAO basis set, which includes multiple-zeta and polarization orbitals. Exchange and correlation are treated with the local spin density or generalized gradient approximations. The basis functions and the electron density are projected on a real-space grid, in order to calculate the Hartree and exchange-correlation potentials and matrix elements, with a number of operations that scales linearly with the size of the system. We use a modified energy functional, whose minimization produces orthogonal wavefunctions and the same energy and density as the Kohn-Sham energy functional, without the need of an explicit orthogonalization. Additionally, using localized Wannier-like electron wavefunctions allows the computation time and memory, required to minimize the energy, to also scale linearly with the size of the system. Forces and stresses are also calculated efficiently and accurately, thus allowing structural relaxation and molecular dynamics simulations.

Lost in Time but Not in Space: High Resolution Geoarchaeology of Knapping Floors and Artefact Scatters in the Roxby Dunefield, Arid South Australia
Creators: name: Neyland, Angela Kate
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2016

description: This thesis examines the prehistoric organisation of stone artefact technology in a gibber plain area of the Roxby dunefield, arid South Australia. Gibber plains are stone covered desert landforms, and the study area gibber provided abundant and knappable quartzite material for stone artefact manufacture. This research involved study of site formation processes and artefact characteristics (including refitting and reduction analysis) from surface knapping floors on the Gibber plain and adjacent dune sites. Comparisons between these sites enabled a review of human resource use and organisation (including procurement, manufacture and transport) within this cultural landscape. This research trials a new approach and focus for Australian desert archaeology. Previous studies typically assumed that surface sites lack chronological integrity with analyses limited to long-term trends. This study argues that gibber plain knapping floors provide narrow temporal resolution with individual knapping events revealed through careful study of site formation processes and refitting analysis. The study of individual knapping events provides technological insights which in turn provide information about individual variability within the long-term trends of landscape and resource use. This research identifies complex long-term connections between the gibber plain and sand dune sites involving raw material and artefact transport. This includes evidence for structured processes of human movement across the gibber landscape. Specifically, knapping events were observed between two major dune occupation areas supporting embedded procurement along regular pathways. There is no evidence of raw material conservation and/or of a standardised, preferred artefact form suggesting variability in knapping strategy was predominantly the result of human agency/ creativity. High-resolution surface archaeological research provides significant information about poorly understood arid zone South Australia while also exploring an issue of global interest, the potential of knapping floors for understanding past human activity. Surface artefact scatters are by far the most common site-type within an Australian context yet these sites (and the patterns contained within) remain poorly researched. This thesis argues that surface scatters embody habitual practices of past people and may provide some of the most important information about human movements and agency.

description: We study the spatial structure of wave functions with exceptionally high local amplitudes in the Anderson model of localisation. By means of exact diagonalisations of finite systems, we obtain and analyse images of these wave functions: we compare the spatial structure of such anomalously localised states in quasi-one-dimensional samples to that in three-dimensional samples. In both cases the average wave-function intensity exhibits a very narrow peak. The background intensity, however, is found to be very different in these two cases: in three dimensions, it is constant, independent of the distance to the localisation centre (as expected for extended states). In quasi-one dimensional samples, on the other hand, it is redistributed towards the localisation centre and approaches a characteristic form predicted in [A. D. Mirlin, Phys. Rep. 326, 249 (2000)].

description: We present a nonrelativistic one-particle quantum mechanics whose perturbative S-matrix exhibits a renormalon divergence that we explicitely compute. The potential of our model is the sum of the 2d Dirac $δ$-potential -- known to require renormalization -- and a 1d Dirac $δ$-potential tilted at an angle. We argue that renormalons are not specific to this example and exist for a much wider class of potentials. The ambiguity in the Borel summation of the perturbative series due to the renormalon pole is resolved by the physical condition of causality through careful consideration of the $iε$ prescription. The suitably summed perturbative result coincides with the exact answer obtained through the operator formalism for scattering.

We perform perturbative and renormalization group analyses to obtain the short-distance asymptotics, and numerically evaluate the long-distance behavior by using the form factor expansion. Our results illustrate the use of bosonization and conformal perturbation theory in the renormalization group analysis of a fermionic theory, and numerically confirm the validity of the form factor expansion in the case of the SU(2)-Thirring model.

description: This paper aims at reporting magnetic properties of bulk polycrystalline Bi2Sr2Ca0.8Dy0.2Cu2O8-y samples textured under a magnetic field. The microstructure of these materials is highly anisotropic and exhibits particular features needed to be taken into account in order to interpret their magnetic and electrical properties. First the AC magnetic susceptibility c = c ' - j c" has been measured for several magnetic fields (H // ab and H // c) and compared to the electrical resistivity data. The structure of the c" peak is shown to be related to the chemical content distribution of the superconducting grains. Next, the magnetic flux profiles have been extracted from the magnetic measurements using the Campbell - Rollins procedure. The anisotropy of the flux profiles and their peculiar curvature behaviour for H // c point out the role of both grain platelet structure and the presence of secondary phases. From these results, we conclude that the magnetic properties of such magnetically textured materials do not allow for a reliable extraction of the critical current density Jc but essentially probe geometric effects. Such effects have to be taken into account for improving the manufacture of attractive high-Tc materials.

description: We compute the dynamical structure factor S(q,tau) of an elastic medium where force dipoles appear at random in space and in time, due to `micro-collapses' of the structure. Various regimes are found, depending on the wave vector q and the collapse time. In an early time regime, the logarithm of the structure factor behaves as (q tau)^{3/2}, as predicted by Cipelletti et al. [1] using heuristic arguments. However, in an intermediate time regime we rather obtain a q tau)^{5/4} behaviour. Finally, the asymptotic long time regime is found to behave as q^{3/2} tau. We also give a plausible scenario for aging, in terms of a strain dependent energy barrier for micro-collapses. The relaxation time is found to grow with the age t_w, quasi-exponentially at first, and then as t_w^{4/5} with logarithmic corrections.

description: Representing the reservoir as a network of discrete compartments with neighbor and non-neighbor connections is a fast, yet accurate method for analyzing oil and gas reservoirs. Automatic and rapid detection of coarse-scale compartments with distinct static and dynamic properties is an integral part of such high-level reservoir analysis. In this work, we present a hybrid framework specific to reservoir analysis for an automatic detection of clusters in space using spatial and temporal field data, coupled with a physics-based multiscale modeling approach. In this work a novel hybrid approach is presented in which we couple a physics-based non-local modeling framework with data-driven clustering techniques to provide a fast and accurate multiscale modeling of compartmentalized reservoirs. This research also adds to the literature by presenting a comprehensive work on spatio-temporal clustering for reservoir studies applications that well considers the clustering complexities, the intrinsic sparse and noisy nature of the data, and the interpretability of the outcome.

description: Technological breakthroughs on smart homes, self-driving cars, health care and robotic assistants, in addition to reinforced law regulations, have critically influenced academic research on explainable machine learning. A sufficient number of researchers have implemented ways to explain indifferently any black box model for classification tasks. A drawback of building agnostic explanators is that the neighbourhood generation process is universal and consequently does not guarantee true adjacency between the generated neighbours and the instance. This paper explores a methodology on providing explanations for a neural network's decisions, in a local scope, through a process that actively takes into consideration the neural network's architecture on creating an instance's neighbourhood, that assures the adjacency among the generated neighbours and the instance.

description: Very-low-energy electron diffraction with a support of full-potential band calculations is used to achieve the energy positions, K// dispersions, lifetimes and Fourier compositions of the photoemission final states in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 at low excitation energies. Highly structured final states explain the dramatic matrix element effects in photoemission. Intense c(2x2) diffraction reveals a significant extrinsic contribution to the shadow Fermi surface. The final-state diffraction effects can be utilized to tune the photoemission experiment on specific valence states or Fermi surface replicas.

description: Putting a price on carbon – with taxes or developing carbon markets – is a widely used policy measure to achieve the target of net-zero emissions by 2050. This paper tackles the issue of producing point, direction-of-change, and density forecasts for the monthly real price of carbon within the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS). We aim to uncover supply- and demand-side forces that can contribute to improving the prediction accuracy of models at short- and medium-term horizons. We show that a simple Bayesian Vector Autoregressive (BVAR) model, augmented with either one or two factors capturing a set of predictors affecting the price of carbon, provides substantial accuracy gains over a wide set of benchmark forecasts, including survey expectations and forecasts made available by data providers. We extend the study to verified emissions and demonstrate that, in this case, adding stochastic volatility can further improve the forecasting performance of a single-factor BVAR model. We rely on emissions and price forecasts to build market monitoring tools that track demand and price pressure in the EU ETS market. Our results are relevant for policymakers and market practitioners interested in quantifying the desired and unintended macroeconomic effects of monitoring the carbon market dynamics.

description: Spin sensitive bleaching of the absorption of far-infrared radiation has been observed in $p$-type GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well structures. The absorption of circularly polarized radiation saturates at lower intensities than that of linearly polarized light due to monopolar spin orientation in the first heavy hole subband. Spin relaxation times of holes in $p$-type material in the range of tens of ps were derived from the intensity dependence of the absorption.

Numerical Study of Impurity Effects on Quasiparticles within S-wave and Chiral P-wave Vortices

description: The impurity problems within vortex cores of two-dimensional s-wave and chiral p-wave superconductors are studied numerically in the framework of the quasiclassical theory of superconductivity and self-consistent Born approximation under a trial form of the pair potential. The dispersion and impurity scattering rate (the inverse of the relaxation time) of the Andreev bound state localized in vortex cores are deduced from the angular-resoloved local density of states. The energy dependence of the impurity scattering rates depends on the pairing symmetry; particularly, in the chiral p-wave vortex core where chirality and vorticity have opposite sign and hence the total angular momentum is zero, the impurities are ineffective and the scattering rate is vanishingly small. Owing to the cancellation of angular momentum between chirality and vorticity, the chiral p-wave vortex core is similar to locally realized s-wave region and therefore non-magnetic impurity is harmless as a consequence of Anderson's theorem. The results of the present study confirm the previous results of analytical study (J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. {\bf 69} (2000) 3378) in the Born limit.

description: We study static packings of frictionless and frictional spheres in three dimensions, obtained via molecular dynamics simulations, in which we vary particle hardness, friction coefficient, and coefficient of restitution. Although frictionless packings of hard-spheres are always isostatic (with six contacts) regardless of construction history and restitution coefficient, frictional packings achieve a multitude of hyperstatic packings that depend on system parameters and construction history. Instead of immediately dropping to four, the coordination number reduces smoothly from $z=6$ as the friction coefficient $μ$ between two particles is increased.
