description: Generic advertising has been a widely-used marketing tool of many agricultural industries. The strategy has come under increasing scrutiny lately, especially by levy-paying producers who fund the advertising. Also, for many food products, supermarket chains have developed and advertised their own “store” or “private label” brands in competition with both processor brands and generic advertising of those products. In such an environment, the issue is whether generic promotion will increase producer returns? Farmers gain from a generic advertising program only if the net farm price rises, where the net farm price is inclusive of the levy collected to fund the generic advertising program. A higher net price to farmers increases producer surplus, or the returns on farmer-owned land, management, labour and other resources which are in limited supply. The aim of this research is to examine the conditions under which such an increase in the net farm price is likely to occur. In undertaking this task, two main areas of research are reported. First, the literature is reviewed and theoretical models are developed to assess the conditions under which farmers would gain from a generic advertising program funded by a levy on production. Second, a general model is applied across the range of Australian agricultural products to assess the minimum increase in domestic sales from advertising required if the program is to increase farmer returns. In particular, the assessment distinguishes products by their exposure to international trade.

description: Countries of the Third World are identified with change perhaps more than with any other phenomenon. Many since World War II have experienced armed revolution as the path to 'independence' from imperial powers. In some instances, revolution has been followed by radical social change. Even more emphatic is the association of economic change with countries of the Third World. Changes of all kinds have been accompanied by diverse forms of political adaptation. The literature of sociology concerned with social change encompasses two paradigms with cont~asting perceptions of political adaptation to change. One of these postulates that social consensus is compatible with change. The other argues that change necessarily is accompanied by conflict. The present study seeks to evaluate these paradigms in terms of their relevance for empirical study of change in countries of the Third World.

The position of nuns in Thai Buddhism : the parameters of religious recognition
Creators: name: Cook, Nerida M.
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1981

description: The material presented and the conclusions I hope to reach in this thesis are based on an eight-month period of fieldwork, from December 1978 to July 1979, mainly in a large Bangkok Wat. The participant observation method was used in an attempt to assess the nature and characteristics of the status and role of an hitherto unstudied group — female Buddhist ascetics — which does not form part of the traditional sociological paradigms of Theravada Buddhism. It is hoped that this will help to illuminate some of the points which need to be kept in mind in any study of Theravada Buddhism, and of several particular areas of Thai Buddhist society. This study necessarily involves an examination of three basic areas of discussion: the status of women in Buddhism, the status of Buddhism in Thailand, and the status of women in Thailand. Of these three areas, the first has been the subject of some scholarly discussion, but based on Buddhist texts rather than Buddhist practice , 2 and the second has received a good deal of attention. Until recently, however, the status of w omen in Thailand has received only scant, and somewhat cavalier attention from scholars inevitably interested in other aspects of Thai society…

description: Rapid progress of quantum transport study in topological Dirac semimetal, including observations of quantum Hall effect in two-dimensional (2D) Cd$_{\mathrm{3}}$As$_{\mathrm{2}}$ samples, has uncovered even more interesting quantum transport properties in high-quality and three-dimensional (3D) samples. However, such 3D Cd$_{\mathrm{3}}$As$_{\mathrm{2}}$ films with low carrier density and high electron mobility have been hardly obtained. Here we report the growth and characterization of 3D thick Cd$_{\mathrm{3}}$As$_{\mathrm{2}}$ films adopting molecular beam epitaxy. The highest electron mobility ($μ$ = 3 $\times$ 10$^{4}$ cm$^{2}$/Vs) among the reported film samples has been achieved at a low carrier density ($\textit{n} = 5$ $\times$ 10$^{16}$ cm$^{-3}$). In the magnetotransport measurement, Hall plateau-like structures are commonly observed in spite of the 3D thick films ($\textit{t} = 120$ nm). On the other hand, field angle dependence of the plateau-like structures and corresponding Shubunikov-de Haas oscillations rather shows a 3D feature, suggesting the appearance of unconventional magnetic orbit, also distinct from the one described by the semiclassical Weyl-orbit equation.

description: It has been speculated that the recently detected ultra-high energy cosmic rays may originate from the decays of relic particles with mass of order $10^{12}$ GeV clustered in the halo of our Galaxy. This hypothesis can be tested through forthcoming measurements of the spectra of both high energy cosmic nucleons and neutrinos, which are determined in this model by the physics of QCD fragmentation, with no astrophysical uncertainties. We evolve fragmentation spectra measured at LEP energies up to the scale of the decaying particle mass by numerical solution of the DGLAP equations. This enables incorporation of the effects of supersymmetry on the development of the cascade and we also allow for decays into many-particle states. The calculated spectral shape agrees well with present cosmic ray data beyond the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin energy.

description: The program to construct minimum-uncertainty coherent states for general potentials works transparently with solvable analytic potentials. However, when an analytic potential is not completely solvable, like for a double-well or the linear (gravitational) potential, there can be a conundrum. Motivated by supersymmetry concepts in higher dimensions, we show how these conundrums can be overcome.

description: The recently completed research project DEEP-ER has developed a variety of hardware and software technologies to improve the I/O capabilities of next generation high-performance computers, and to enable applications recovering from the larger hardware failure rates expected on these machines. The heterogeneous Cluster-Booster architecture --first introduced in the predecessor DEEP project-- has been extended by a multi-level memory hierarchy employing non-volatile and network-attached memory devices. Based on this hardware infrastructure, an I/O and resiliency software stack has been implemented combining and extending well established libraries and software tools, and sticking to standard user-interfaces. Real-world scientific codes have tested the projects' developments and demonstrated the improvements achieved without compromising the portability of the applications.

description: Rapid New World supply increases are imposing downward pressures on prices for grape and wine producers. A per capita decrease in wine consumption in the world’s largest wine producers is being offset by consumption increases elsewhere, and growing consumer preferences for higher quality wines. We use a global wine model to project the world’s wine markets from 2003 to 2010. Our decomposition of results allows us to examine the contribution of different market forces to changes in prices and outputs relative to 2003.

description: Polyethylene glycol (PEG), as a suitable tool to improve enzyme stability, such as monomethoxyl-polyethylene glycol aldehyde (mPEG-ALD) and monomethoxyl-polyethylene glycol succinimide (mPEG-SPA), has been appended at the ε-amino group of lysine or the N-terminal α-amino acid residue of commercial cellulase. The modified cellulases thus obtained are designated as Cell-ALD and Cell-SPA, respectively. The stabilities and activities of these modified cellulases have been studied in the ionic liquid [C2OHmim][OAc]. Cell-ALD showed excellent stability and activity in [C2OHmim][OAc], such as the activity of Cell-ALD 5k (molecular weight of ALD is 5000), which can reach above 80% of its original value after remaining in [C2OHmim][OAc] for 24 h, and outstanding performance in the hydrolysis of natural cellulose.
Aspects of econometric modelling

Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1982
Subjects: subject: Econometrics Mathematical models
subject: Economics, Mathematical

description: This thesis is concerned with some of the problems of econometric modelling with especial emphasis on the use of linear approximations, nonlinear estimation and specification tests. The motivation for this approach is given in the introductory chapter. In Chapter 2, the validity of linear approximations and their effects on estimation and hypothesis testing are discussed and a test for linearity is suggested. In respect of estimation, a new algorithm (based on variable linearisation) for estimating non-linear single equation functions is developed in Chapter 3, and the technique is subsequently extended to non-linear simultaneous equation systems in Chapter 9. With regard to model specification tests, emphasis is placed on the use of the Lagrange multiplier (LM) principle. In Chapter 4, a comparative study of different forms of the LM test statistic is conducted and some of its properties are discussed. Applications of the LM test are made in Chapters 5, 6 and 10. In Chapter 5, several tests for univariate normality are proposed, and one of the tests is generalized to the multivariate case in Chapter 10. Since most of the available model specification tests are one-directional and are not valid in the presence of more than one misspecification, a simultaneous approach to testing model specification is considered in Chapter 6. Tests developed for classical regression model are not applicable to limited dependent variable (LDV) models, so that specification tests for LDV models are discussed separately in Chapter 7. The test procedures mentioned above are suitable for testing nested hypotheses. In Chapter 8, test procedures for non-nested models are discussed and an attempt is made to test nested and non-nested hypotheses jointly. In the last chapter of the thesis suggestions are made to unify model estimation and testing by using robust estimates to calculate test statistics in order to increase their efficiency.

description: Quantum state wave functionals are constructed in exact form for the graviton-like field theory obtained by breaking down the topological symmetry of the string action related with the Euler characteristic of the world-surface; their continuous and discrete symmetries are discussed. The comparison with the so-called Chern-Simons state, which may be inappropriate as quantum state, allows us to conclude that the found wave functionals will give a plausible approximation to the ground state for the considered field theory.
Toward an anthropology of idiom

Year: 1982
Subjects: subject: Ethnology Australia Torres Strait Islands (Qld.)
subject: Torres Strait Islanders

description: Most studies in theoretical and methodological anthropology seek to contribute improvements in the systematic and rigorous collection of ethnographic facts. The present study seeks to redress what the author views as a chronic imbalance by attending to an exploration of the less systematic but no less rigorous task of presenting ethnographic facts. Using original research among urban Torres strait Islanders in Australia's North Queensland, the author explores how it is that the ethnographer uses the language of ethnography— his own living native tongue — rather than the language of the people studied to present the ethnographic facts. It is a study of how to make facts make sense rather than on how to make sense of facts. The principal exploration is of how it is that written words convey meanings initially foreign to the reader. Building on the concept of alternity— the capacity of language to depict events not actually at hand— the author proposes alternities: possible outcomes of activity which have not actually come about. It is by attending to alternities, by identifying and analysing them, that anthropologists put the case of the other culture; by discerning specific alternities within that other culture's frames of reference, the ethnographer begins to build a whole and detailed picture. This 'picture' comes alive when it begins to communicate to the reader how the other culture predicates sensible action. By exploring how ethnographers and others use written language to build on things known and familiar to the reader, the present study identifies some fundamental properties of texts and languages, and of how initially strange human actions of another culture are made sensible by explicating what it is those actions are predicated on. The study explores the nature of texts, especially of ethnographic texts, and of the relationships between written texts and spoken language. It argues for the careful use of non-positivist ethnographic presentation in order to capture on the printed page as much of the living spoken idiom of any people studied. The author has found the basic act of social predication to be that enacted in the telling and hearing of any society's living stories, and suggests that the story form may be the minimum necessary vehicle for alternities. He argues for a principal responsibility on the part of the hearer of stories over that of the teller and extrapolates from this to an argument for the principal responsibility for the making of ethnographic sense to be on the part of the reader. The implication of this is for the establishment of a genre of ethnography responsive to its readers, a genre which values making sense over making facts, and which is prepared to harness the idiom, the human sense-making institution par excellence, in its task.

description: Reforestation programs are a common policy response among developing country governments in the tropics attempting to deal with environmental and economic problems caused by widespread deforestation. The objective of this paper is to examine participation by small-and medium-sized farms in two reforestation programs undertaken in recent years by one country, Costa Rica, which has been at the forefront of developing country environmental protection efforts. Analysis of a survey of 243 program participants and non-participants shows that farm households participating in reforestation programs had generally larger farm sizes, were dedicated to low labor-intensive, land-extensive agricultural activities, faced significant family on-farm labor constraints, were more heavily dependent on off-farm income sources, and had more extensive contact with local extension efforts. Logistic regression is employed to econometrically identify demographic, economic, and land use determinants of farm household participation in reforestation programs; the implications of these findings are analyzed. The limitations of reforestation programs, especially with regard to management factors and quality of reforested plots, are reviewed. Implications for improving the efficiency of reforestation programs and the merits of other policy alternatives are also discussed.

Subjects: subject: Portfolio management Mathematical models

description: The Australian trading banks are prominent financial intermediaries of the monetary sector and their portfolio behaviour has implications for monetary policy. The purpose of this study is to develop and estimate a short-run (monthly) model of bank portfolio choice. Since the pioneering article by Markowitz and Tobin, mean-variance analysis has been the primary theory of portfolio selection. The resultant optimum portfolio, though desired, need not be attainable in the short-run and the generalised-adjustment mechanism became a popular way of explaining observed portfolios. While the mean-variance generalised-adjustment framework consti tutes the skeleton of the portfolio model for the Major Trading Banks, it is limited in its applicability, as it obviously fails to take into account the institutional features of the Australian banking system. A s ynthesis of portfolio and banking theories has been attempted. An interesting feature of the model proposed is that it is a priori triangular. This ralses the question of recursivity and the Lagrange Multiplier test for recursivity is discussed in the context of a triangular model with lagged endogeneous variables and autocorrelated errors. A variety of methods has been suggested for the estimation of portfolio models and in general iterative techniques are needed to handle the complications caused by the presence of lagged endogeneous variables, autocorrelated errors and non-linear restrictions on the parameter set. The problem with iterative (greater than two steps) methods is that convergence is not guaranteed. A Hatanaka (portfolio) estimator is proposed. Empirical results support the bank portfolio management model developed and the study concluded with a discussion on portfolio adjustment, the money supply and monetary policy.

A natural way to disentangle ``perturbative'' from ``non-perturbative'' contributions below N_f^* is suggested. Assuming an infrared fixed point is present in the perturbative part of the QCD coupling even in some range below N_f^* leads to the condition gamma(N_f^*)=1, where gamma is the critical exponent. This result is incompatible with the existence of an analogue of Seiberg free dual magnetic phase in QCD. Using the Banks-Zaks expansion, one gets 4

During the early post-revolutionary period in Lenin's Russia, political leadership was institutionalized in the Party Central Committee. From April 1917 until Lenin 's death in 1929-, eight Central Committees were elected, two in 1917 and one every subsequent year . Just over half of the total Committee members and candidates in this period were working-class Bolsheviks whose names have rarely been mentioned in historical accounts of the Revolution. The claim these worker - revolutionaries make on history has until now been forfeited in favour of more prominent leaders from upper and middle-class backgrounds. The thesis examines who the more obscure worker - revolutionaries turned Central Committeemen were, their backgrounds and careers both before and after 1917, and their role with in the elite. As former factory workers themselves, the Worker Central Committeemen had authentic claims to represent the proletariat in whose name they had agitated for , and won, the Revolution. As members of the working class they could make a special contribution to leadership, especially in the field of practical administration and the management of war - time, and then post Civil War industry. As members of the government, the trade unions, the economic administration and the military , the Worker Central Committeemen played a more prominent role than has hither to been explored. Although not theoreticians , some of them were influential in the resolution of various controversies which rocked the party in these years: the crisis over coalition government, the Brest Litovsk peace treaty , the Military Opposition, Democratic Centralism and the handling of the national minorities . The major debate of the period was how to balance the party's commitment to the working class with what was regarded under prevailing circumstances as the necessity for centralized control of industry. Although the Worker Central Committeemen had similar backgrounds and experiences, no two of them agreed on how best to manage the economy in the interests of the workers. Indeed, only a few of them - in particular the leader of the Democratic Centralists and one of the leaders of the Workers' Opposition - recognized the contradiction between what was best for the workers and what was in the interests of the party, and brought the latter to task over it .

description: This short note is a mostly expository article examining negatively curved three-manifolds. We look at some rigidity properties related to isometric embeddings into Minkowski space. We also review the Cross Curvature Flow (XCF) as a tool to study the space of negatively curved metrics on hyperbolic three-manifolds, the largest and least understood class of model geometries in Thurston's Geometrisation. The relationship between integrability and embedability yields interesting insights, and we show that solutions with fixed Einstein volume are precisely the integrable solutions, answering a question posed by Chow and Hamilton when they introduced the XCF.

description: We have developed an alternative formulation based on ${\bf F} = M {\bf a}$ rather than ${\bf F} = d{\bf P}/dt$ for studying variable mass systems. It is shown that ${\bf F} = M {\bf a}$ can be particularly useful in this context, as illustrated by various examples involving chains and ropes. The method implies the division of the whole system into two parts, which are considered separately, allowing to explore certain aspects as constraint forces.

description: This paper describes the agricultural sector in the western region of Uzbekistan, the most populous of the former Soviet Central Asian Republics. Agriculture in this region, as in all of Uzbekistan, is entirely dependent on irrigation, as has been the case for millennia. Evidence of settlement of the desert oases and the banks of the Amu Darya River (known as the Oxus in ancient times) dates back many millennia, as does settlement of the short of the Aral Sea, largely based on fishing. However, the Aral Sea Region of Uzbekistan, including the Autonomous Republic of Karakalpakstan and Khorezm Oblast, the currently undergoing severe ecological stress, as is the entire Aral Sea Basin. Massive expansion of irrigated area starting in the 1960's has resulted in a steady shrinkage of the Aral Sea, whose shoreline is now some 100 kilometers beyond its former location. There are now problems with extreme salinization of the sea water, which supports many fewer species than previously, as well as wind-blown salt from the flats left by the retreating waters. In addition, poor irrigation management has caused severe problems with waterlogging and salinity in upstream areas.
GLOBAL HUNGER: THE METHODOLOGIES UNDERLYING THE OFFICIAL ESTIMATES

description: The methodologies employed by FAD, the World Bank, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to quantify the extent of global hunger during the past 50 years are examined. The methodologies are shown to be less than perfect and to contain built-in biases favoring exaggeration. They have also proved amenable to manipulation by those with a political agenda to pursue. Other approaches to measuring world hunger should therefore be sought.

description: Can hypothetical questions reveal true values? An examination of the laboratory experimental literature examining contingent valuation (CV) lends some support for using open ended hypothetical willingness to pay questions. However, experimental studies examining dichotomous choice have found that hypothetical answers overstate demand. Consistent with the experimental literature, published CV studies comparing open-ended to dichotomous choice questions have shown that values from the latter method equal or exceed those of the former in every case. This paper presents a series of experiments employing more than 800 subjects to test this hypothesis for CV and compares the CV results to actual auction values in a single controlled experimental environment.

description: Sumatrotritia inusitata Mahunka, 1989
(Fig. 4 A–E)
All characters almost as in description of holotype (Mahunka 1989). Below we have listed a few additional characters and verified the description given by Mahunka (1989).
 Measurements of specimen from India (Locality: In-3). Prodorsum: length 273, height 91. Prodorsal setae: sensillum 88, interlamellar 131, lamellar 154, rostral 126. Notogaster: length 505, height 409.
The specimen measured is smaller than that described by Mahunka (differences in the size of individuals occur in many species of ptyctimous mites).
 Diagnosis. Prodorsum with two pairs of vestigial exobothridial setae. Genitoaggenital region with seven pairs of setae, three pairs of long setae in the antero-median part of plate and four pairs of minute setae, one in anteroparaxial position, anteriorly of suture kag and three pairs in antiaxial position, one anteriorly of suture kag (Mahunka (1989) shows the setae in the Figure 8, but does not mention their presence in the description). The minute setae (three pairs?) depicted by Mahunka are inaccurately presented. The three pairs of long setae in Fig. 8 of Mahunka are located along paraxial border of plate but in our specimens they are slightly skewed from paraxial border.
 Setae h of mentum very long, considerably longer than distance between them. Femora I with four setae.
  Diagnostic characters of genus Sumatrotritia.  Bothridial scale situated dorso-posteriorly of bothridia. Two pairs of exobothridial setae. Interlamellar setae displaced towards antiaxial side of prodorsum. Two interlocking triangles present. Seven pairs of genital setae present, three of them very long, situated medially and obliquely in anterior part of plate, four others minute, situated on or near progenital plate. Each trochanter of legs with one seta.
 This genus takes an intermediate place in the Euphthiracaroidea classification, between Euphthiracarus, Pocsia and Acrotritia. In the genera Euphthiracarus and Pocsia two interlocking triangles of ventral area are present, while in Acrotritia one triangle. In the genus Euphthiracarus bothridial scale of prodorsum is positioned below bothridium, while in the genera Pocsia and Acrotritia it is above bothridium.

description: The expansions of tree-level amplitudes for one theory into amplitudes for another theory, which have been studied in various recent literatures, exhibit hidden connections between different theories that are invisible in traditional Lagrangian formulism of quantum field theory. In this paper, the general expansion of tree EM (Einstein-Maxwell) amplitudes into KK basis of tree YM (Yang-Mills) amplitudes have been derived by applying the method based on differential operators. The obtained coefficients are shared by the expansion of tree $ϕ^4$ amplitudes into tree BS (bi-adjoint scalar) amplitudes, the expansion of tree sYMS (special Yang-Mills-scalar) amplitudes into tree BS amplitudes, as well the expansion of tree DBI (Dirac-Born-Infeld) amplitudes into tree special extended DBI amplitudes.

description: This paper attempts to measure the impact of government intervention in product and factor markets on chickpea competitiveness in India. This is done by estimating the nominal (NPC), effective (EPC) and effective subsidy (ESC) protection coefficients for chickpea and its main competing crops -wheat and mustard. Further, the Net Economic Benefit (NEB) in the production of these three crops is estimated to indicate where comparative advantage and production efficiency in production lie. In addition, this paper also analyses the production constraints affecting chickpea competitiveness. The analysis is confined to the states of Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. The protection coefficients indicate that the government's output price, subsidy and trade policies have discriminated against chickpea producers. These policies provided the greatest effective protection to mustard producers in all the four states studied. In Haryana wheat received greater protection than chickpea, though in both Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan chickpea had greater protection than wheat. This result indicates a general policy bias against chickpea producers in the northern wheat growing belt of India. The Net Economic Benefit coefficients show that all states have a comparative advantage in wheat and chickpea production, while only Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan have comparative advantage in mustard production also. However, across all states, wheat is the most efficient crop to produce. From a standpoint of economic efficiency, this result implies that India is better off allowing resources to flow into wheat production and importing its chickpea and mustard requirements.
