title: Planning for climate adapted local futures - a realist evaluation of New South Wales land use planning governance and practice requirements
Creators: name: McNicol, Ian H

description: Land use planning is widely identified as a local climate adaptation solution. Planning uses resilience concepts to inform the design of new development controls and support evidence based decision making. Under increasing weather extremes and hazards, resilience is proving a brittle approach unlikely to meet local community needs for climate adaptation. There is a large gap between the scope of the spatial problems managed by land use planning and the adaptive needs of whole communities. The thesis examines how this gap can be bridged. This adaptive capacity gap is framed as a systems learning problem. The thesis draws on a case study of the New South Wales (NSW) Australia to evaluate how local land use planning systems can become more adaptive and allow communities to actively participate in the creation of solutions for climate change impacts. Local government is expected to play a key adaptation role but enabling governance structures are not yet in place. Local governments, being on the adaptation ‘frontline’, are well placed to enable development of local adaptative capacities, but this depends on the creation of enabling policy frameworks and cooperative arrangements within state governments. The thesis is structured to answer the question, ‘How can land use planning best solve local adaptation problems?’ With local land use planning identified as a local adaptation solution that lacks adaptive capacity, what needs to be done to better enable local adaptation? Can planning capacities reflect the problems and community needs of the Anthropocene and the future? What can be done to improve local future-making? Calls for governance and institutional change, and systems transformation, as climate change solutions, are well documented but seldom address the practical details. The solution of adaptation pathways is widely agreed but the understanding of the required governance and practice mechanisms hasn’t extended beyond the conceptual stage. The governance changes needed to make specific regulatory systems such as land use planning more adaptive remain largely unexamined. As there are no established methods for investigating adaptive changes to regulatory systems, a combination of realist evaluation, realist science and systems thinking has been utilised for this thesis.

description: Advances in the distribution of quantum information will likely require entanglement shared across a hybrid quantum network. Many entanglement protocols require the generation of indistinguishable photons between the various nodes of the network. This is challenging in a hybrid environment due to typically large differences in the spectral and temporal characteristics of single photons generated in different systems. Here we show, for the first time, quantum interference between photons generated from a single atomic ion and an atomic ensemble, located in different buildings and linked via optical fibre. Trapped ions are leading candidates for quantum computation and simulation with good matter-to-photon conversion. Rydberg excitations in neutral-atom ensembles show great promise as interfaces for the storage and manipulation of photonic qubits with excellent efficiencies. Our measurement of high-visibility interference between photons generated by these two, disparate systems is an important building block for the establishment of a hybrid quantum network.

description: We present 25 cosmological zoom-in simulations of Milky Way-mass galaxies in the `MOdelling Star cluster population Assembly In Cosmological Simulations within EAGLE' (E-MOSAICS) project. E-MOSAICS couples a detailed physical model for the formation, evolution, and disruption of star clusters to the EAGLE galaxy formation simulations. This enables following the co-formation and co-evolution of galaxies and their star cluster populations, thus realising the long-standing promise of using globular clusters (GCs) as tracers of galaxy formation and assembly. The simulations show that the age-metallicity distributions of GC populations exhibit strong galaxy-to-galaxy variations, resulting from differences in their evolutionary histories. We develop a formalism for systematically constraining the assembly histories of galaxies using GC age-metallicity distributions. These distributions are characterised through 13 metrics that we correlate with 30 quantities describing galaxy formation and assembly (e.g. halo properties, formation/assembly redshifts, stellar mass assembly time-scales, galaxy merger statistics), resulting in 20 statistically (highly) significant correlations. The GC age-metallicity distribution is a sensitive probe of the mass growth, metal enrichment, and minor merger history of the host galaxy. No such relation is found between GCs and major mergers, which play a sub-dominant role in GC formation for Milky Way-mass galaxies. Finally, we show how the GC age-metallicity distribution enables the reconstruction of the host galaxy's merger tree, allowing us to identify all progenitors with masses $M_*\gtrsim10^8$ M$_\odot$ for redshifts $1\leq z\leq2.5$. These results demonstrate that cosmological simulations of the co-formation and co-evolution of GCs and their host galaxies successfully unlock the potential of GCs as quantitative tracers of galaxy formation and assembly.

description: We investigate a 6d generalized Randall-Sundrum brane world scenario with a bulk cosmological constant. It is shown that each stress-energy tensor $T_{ab}^{i}$ on the brane is similar to a constant vacuum energy. This is consistent with the Randall-Sundrum model in which each 3-brane Lagrangian separated out a constant vacuum energy. By adopting an anisotropic metric ansatz, we obtain the 5d Friedmann-Robertson-Walker field equations. At a little later period, the expansion of the universe is proportional to $t^{\frac{1}{2}}$ which is as similar as the period of the radiation-dominated. We also investigate the case with two $a(t)$ and two $b(t)$. In a large region of $t$, we obtain the 3d effective cosmological constant $Λ_{eff}=-2Ω/3>0$ which is independent of the integral constant. Here the scale factor is exponential expansion which is consistent with our present observation of the universe. Our results demonstrate that it is possible to construct a model which solves the dark energy problem, meanwhile guaranteeing a positive brane tension.

description: The Internet has changed consumer behaviour, having an impact on local retail. At the same time, the number of smartphone users is continuously increasing, making mobile applications more and more important. By using Bluetooth beacons – small radio transmitters that can be placed anywhere and are processed by relevant apps – shopping can be facilitated and made more enjoyable. Even though some supermarkets, especially in the USA, are already using beacons, their use is not common and less researched in Germany. Pilot projects only refer to usage data and reaction times while customers are rarely asked for their opinion. This project analyses potentials of usage and customer acceptance of concepts based on beacons in retail via an online consumer survey, discusses the conception of an app, and provides a subsequent qualitative evaluation. As a starting point for our concept development and app implementation, the initial online survey of 203 participants emphasises the importance of user-friendly settings as well as costumers’ interest in informative communication. Throughout all steps of our design case study, concerns for data privacy as well as the interest in transparency were apparent and regarded accordingly. The field experiment stresses users’ perceptions of potentially useful functions, and highlights design-related aspects for improvement, offering useful implications for the future design of shopping apps.

Permutation polynomials of degree 8 over finite fields of odd characteristic

description: This paper provides an algorithmic generalization of Dickson's method of classifying permutation polynomials (PPs) of a given degree $d$ over finite fields. Dickson's idea is to formulate from Hermite's criterion several polynomial equations satisfied by the coefficients of an arbitrary PP of degree $d$. Previous classifications of PPs of degree at most $6$ were essentially deduced from manual analysis of these polynomial equations. However, these polynomials, needed for that purpose when $d>6$, are too complicated to solve. Our idea is to make them more solvable by calculating some radicals of ideals generated by them, implemented by a computer algebra system (CAS). Our algorithms running in SageMath 8.6 on a personal computer work very fast to determine all PPs of degree $8$ over an arbitrary finite field of odd order $q>8$. The main result is that for an odd prime power $q>8$, a PP $f$ of degree $8$ exists over the finite field of order $q$ if and only if $q\leqslant 31$ and $q\not\equiv 1\ (\mathrm{mod}\ 8)$, and $f$ is explicitly listed up to linear transformations.

description: This paper presents a new behavioral model for switching power loss evaluation in phase-shifted full-bridge inverter Power Modules (PoMs). The proposed model has been identified by means of a Genetic Programming (GP) algorithm combined with a Multi-Objective Optimization (MOO) technique. A large set of loss data, evaluated by means of analytical loss formulas, has been considered for the identification of a compact behavioral model. The GP-MOO approach considers the inverter switching frequency, input voltage, duty-cycle and load resistance as model input variables, and the MOSFET gate driver voltage and resistance as parameters influencing the coefficients values of the identified loss formula. The behavioral model loss predictions confirm their reliability for a wide range of operating conditions.

description: The development of both a spectrally tunable radiation source and a sensitive detection transducer for spectroscopic applications are described in this thesis. The emission source is an optical parametric oscillator operating in the continuous-wave regime with a pump-enhanced singly-resonant architecture and involves the separate development of two constituent parts: A continuous-wave pump laser operating at 1064 nm based on neodymium-doped crystals focused on achieving high power whilst maintaining single-frequency operation; and a split-ring pump-enhanced optical parametric oscillator operating from this pump source focused on fine-tuning in mode-hops. This source was capable of coarsely tuning in the mid-infrared over 3 – 4 μm with an average of 140 mW of power with the ability of automated mode-hop tuning continuously over 90 cm⁻¹ in 0.07 cm⁻¹ steps. The detection transducer is based upon photo-thermal interferometric spectroscopy which employs a phase-sensitive method to detect the heating of a gas sample under radiation from the appropriately tuned source. Utilisation of a spectrally-independent probe beam permits samples with strong absorption features in the mid/deep-infrared to be examined whilst utilising the low-cost, high-sensitivity photodetectors in the visible/near-infrared region. This work implements both a Mach-Zehnder and a Sagnac interferometer, where the latter holds the potential to minimise the effects of the environment and simplify the associated experimental steps by removing stabilising electronic circuitry. Combined utilisation of this transducer alongside the excitation source has demonstrated an ability to detect the presence of ethane down to 100 parts-per-billion. Further development considered the interferometer inherent in photo-thermal spectroscopy, where this provides an avenue for employing optical squeezing techniques to increase the ultimate sensitivity of this technique. Construction of a squeezed light generator to use as a probe beam based on second-order nonlinearity has additionally been attempted in this work and has been shown to exhibit anti-squeezing characteristic behaviour.

description: Nowadays, food security continues to be a huge problem, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. This paper tries to analyse the problem of food security from the point of view of food regime analysis. The implementation of the different food regimes in Mauritania has had important consequences for the country’s food security because it has generated an increasing dualism between consumption patterns and provisioning systems in rural and urban areas. The Mauritanian case allows us to note that the European model to achieve the food security existing in the Second Food Regime did not apply in countries such as Mauritania. Moreover, Mauritania shows us that the proposal for food security in the Third Food Regime, that is, the access to the food world markets, has not been able to mitigate the food insecurity of the country.

description: On 31 May 2016, the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany ruled that specific forms of sampling may fall under the constitutionally protected freedom of art and takes precedence over the property interests of the rights holders (so-called sampling judgement, 1 BvR 1585/13 – “Metall auf Metall” (metal on metal)). The lawsuit concerned a two-second sample from the Kraftwerk song “Metall auf Metall” that had been used by producer Moses Pelham without permission for a Hip-Hop song performed by Sabrina Setlur. Over 19 years, the lawsuit passed through the entire German court hierarchy before recently being taken to the European level. In Germany, this ruling has revived the copyright debate on remixes and similarly transformative media practices within digital media environments. Those copyright related questions were addressed during an interdisciplinary symposium at the University of Siegen in May 2017. Experts from different fields of research presented their investigations and theoretical considerations.

description: We study the large $N$ saddle points of two SYK chains coupled by an interaction that is nonlocal in Euclidean time. We start from analytic treatment of the free case with $q=2$ and perform the numerical study of the interacting case $q=4$. We show that in both cases there is a nontrivial phase structure with infinite number of phases. Every phase correspond to a saddle point in the non-interacting two-replica SYK. The nontrivial saddle points have non-zero value of the replica-nondiagonal correlator in the sense of quasi-averaging, when the coupling between replicas is turned off. Thus, the nonlocal interaction between replicas provides a protocol for turning the nonperturbatively subleading effects in SYK into non-equilibrium configurations which dominate at large $N$. For comparison we also study two SYK chains with local interaction for $q=2$ and $q=4$. We show that the $q=2$ model also has a similar phase structure, whereas in the $q=4$ model, dual to the traversable wormhole, the phase structure is different.

description: Many of the present and planned polarization experiments are focusing on determination of the polarized glue. There is a comparable set of spin experiments which can help to extract information on the separate flavor-dependent polarized distributions. This talk will discuss possible sets of experiments, some of which are planned at BNL, CERN, DESY and JHF, which can be used to determine these distributions. Comments will include the estimated degree to which these distributions can be accurately found.

description: Eckart Voigts and Katerina Marshfield focus on videographic essays as a genuine form of scientific or intellectual performance. They report from a student project entitled “Producing and Podcasting Film Analytical Audio Commentaries” and characterise these productions as a new form of learning and a possibility to appropriate a certain degree of multiliteracy. Especially mashups allow for mixing texts, footage, images, and sounds without having to create substantial semiotic expressions. Mashups and videographic essays are becoming increasingly important as a multi-channel cultural technique for constituting, exchanging, and presenting meanings, ideas, and materials, both for establishing amateur media studies as well as for emerging professional and academic approaches. In their contribution, they discuss the lack of established criteria for such kind of audio-visual student work as well as the lack of clarity regarding copyright issues when referencing audio-visual material.
title: Machine Learning, Stock Selection and Portfolio Optimization with Special Reference to REITs
Creators: name: Zhang, Wendi
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: machine learning
subject: housing market
subject: Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT)

description: Since the real estate investment trust (REIT) was first developed in the United States in 1960, more than 40 regions have established REIT markets. Similar to stock investments, investors in REIT also want to predict REIT trends. More recently, machine learning machine learning approaches have become some of the most popular methods for predicting stocks, helping investors to make a better decision. However, very few researchers have extended the implementation of machine learning approaches to REIT prediction and REIT-mixed portfolio management because the scale and capitalization of REIT market are relatively small compared to the stock market, especially in some developing countries, such as China. Nevertheless, REIT can provide stable cash flows to investors due to its mandatory requirement to distribute at least 75% annual income; REIT also delivers ongoing asset appreciation. REIT could thus be treated as an important financial product and asset in portfolio. The primary purpose of this thesis is to seek a better way for predicting REIT price and increasing REIT portfolios' return efficiently and accurately. [...]
Formats as media of cooperation

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: 302.23 Medien (Kommunikationsmittel), Medienwissenschaft
subject: Format studies

description: This paper aims to link the possibility of translocal cooperation to the agency of formats. At first, I discuss some of the basic types, features, and functions of formats in order to show how formats frame and configure media in distinct ways. Building on this, I assess the benefits and relevance of format studies in current media studies. As formats tend to stretch across different domains of media production, distribution, and reception, I argue that they are not only crucial for understanding aesthetic properties of media but also the value chains and infrastructures of media distribution. Furthermore, formats link media more closely to specific media-related practices and communities of practice: each format tells stories about how people create, work with, consume or appropriate media. Formats can thus be thought of as both—usually conventionalized—materializations of media-related practices and default affordances which govern and support those practices. Therefore, I argue that formats should be regarded as paradigmatic media of cooperation. Since formats help establishing and stabilizing connections, relations, and labour chains, they also need to be taken into account as fundamental factors within processes of scaling and growth, such as historical formations or transformations of media systems, infrastructures, and industries.

title: Electromagnetic Properties of Light Neutron-Rich Nuclei - Lifetime Measurements of 16C and 23Ne
Creators: name: Mathy, Michael Bernhard
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2021

description: The lifetimes of higher-lying excited states were measured for 16C and 23Ne using a target and degrader setup made of beryllium and gold to apply the Doppler-shift attenuation method. The experiment was performed at the Argonne National Laboratory exploiting the reaction 9Be(9Be,2p)16C* as well as 9Be(16O,2p)23Ne*, which was available due to oxidation of the target. The emitted gamma rays were measured with Gammasphere while the charged particles were detected with Microball. By comparing the measured gamma-ray spectra for different detection angles and 2p events with Geant4 simulations, lifetimes can be obtained. An elaborated explanation of the used analysis method and potential uncertainties is given in this work. The simulations were carried out for two different sets of stopping powers to check their influence on the results. For 23Ne the lifetimes of two higher-lying states could be measured for the first time. The lifetime of the (5/2+,7/2+) state at 2517 keV was obtained to 641(79)fs +16fs-6fs(syst,target), while the lifetime of the (5/2+, 7/2+) state at 1702 keV was obtained to 168(55)fs +8fs-1fs(syst,target) +72fs-80fs(syst,feeding). To consider the feeding for the lower state it was assumed that the angular distributions are the same for both observed transitions. Theoretical USDB calculations were able to reproduce the level energies well, while they significantly underestimate the experimental lifetimes. For 16C the lifetime of the 4_1+ state could be constrained between 1.9ps +0.0ps-0.1ps(syst,target) and 4ps. This results in 2.74e^2fm^4 ≤ B(E2;4_1+→2_1+ ) ≤ 5.78e^2fm^4 +0.32e^2fm^4 -0.00e^2fm^4(syst,target) as a transition strength limit for the 4_1+ state. Theoretical predictions from no-core shell model calculations with NN+NNN interactions and p-sd shell model calculations for several effective two body interactions fulfill this constraint. The most likely lifetime range for the 2_2+ state was obtained to be 244 fs to 376 fs. Together with branching ratio limits for this state, which are known from previous measurements, the transition strengths for the 2_2+ state could be constrained. No-core shell model, recent in-medium no-core shell model, and p-sd shell model calculations are compared to these results. In the second part of this work a conceptual design of a 14C electron scattering experiment at the QCLAM Spectrometer at the S-DALINAC is presented.

Diffusion on random site percolation clusters. Theory and NMR microscopy experiments with model objects

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: Quasi two-dimensional random site percolation model objects were fabricate based on computer generated templates. Samples consisting of two compartments, a reservoir of H$_2$O gel attached to a percolation model object which was initially filled with D$_2$O, were examined with NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) microscopy for rendering proton spin density maps. The propagating proton/deuteron inter-diffusion profiles were recorded and evaluated with respect to anomalous diffusion parameters. The deviation of the concentration profiles from those expected for unobstructed diffusion directly reflects the anomaly of the propagator for diffusion on a percolation cluster. The fractal dimension of the random walk, $d_w$, evaluated from the diffusion measurements on the one hand and the fractal dimension, $d_f$, deduced from the spin density map of the percolation object on the other permits one to experimentally compare dynamical and static exponents. Approximate calculations of the propagator are given on the basis of the fractional diffusion equation. Furthermore, the ordinary diffusion equation was solved numerically for the corresponding initial and boundary conditions for comparison. The anomalous diffusion constant was evaluated and is compared to the Brownian case. Some ad hoc correction of the propagator is shown to pay tribute to the finiteness of the system. In this way, anomalous solutions of the fractional diffusion equation could experimentally be verified for the first time.

description: Organising public mobility is a global challenge. However, most studies directed at ICT support approach the subject from the perspective of developed countries. In contrast, we conducted a modest and initial attempt to study practices of public transportation in Madagascar – one of the poorest countries in Africa. We found that central assumptions, usually unquestioned in prevailing studies, were challenged in the context of this developing country. We present an empirical study which analyses how collective taxis, locally called Taxi Brousses, are used in overland travel. The study reveals complex socio-political conditions which passengers face in this country. Security as well as corruption issues shape these transportation practices. Based on our findings, we indicate opportunities for supporting intra-organisational cooperation and the customers’ interaction with ICT artefacts.
A Novel Contactless Human Machine Interface based on Machine Learning

Subjects: subject: Human-Computer Interaction (cs.HC)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This paper describes a global framework that enables contactless human machine interaction using computer vision and machine learning techniques. The main originality of our framework is that only a very simple image acquisition device, as a computer camera, is sufficient to establish a rich human machine interaction as traditional devices such as mouse or keyboard. This framework is based on well known computer vision techniques and efficient machine learning techniques are used to detect and track user hand gestures so the end user can control his computer using virtual interfaces with very simple gestures.
CYTOKINE PROFILE IN PATIENTS WITH GLOMERULONEPHRITIS DEPENDING ON THE CLINICAL COURSE

description: In recent years, convincing data have been obtained proving the link between the development of GN and "immune dysregulation", primarily concerning T-lymphocytes. Experiments have shown the damaging effect on glomeruli of a cell-mediated mechanism (Th1-type) of an adaptive immune response associated with the activity of IFN-γ. Thus, it seems that cytokines play an important role in the pathogenesis of GN.
