The Canadian conversion loan of 1958 : a study in debt management
Creators: name: Christofides, Loizos Nicolaou
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: World War II was partially financed through the issue of Victory Bonds. By 1958, Victory Bonds amounting to roughly 50% of the public debt were still outstanding, maturing at discrete intervals over the following seven years. In September, 1958, the Canadian Government launched the Conversion Loan — a successful attempt to refund the Victory Bonds. This enormous debt management operation raised the average term to maturity of the public debt from 8 to 14.75 years. Debt management operations, and the Conversion Loan in particular, have received little attention in the Canadian context. The scant existing literature has not rigorously examined the effects of the Loan on the level and term structure of interest rates, nor has it investigated its impact on the real sector of the economy. In this thesis regression analysis and simulation -- using the Bank of Canada RDX2 model -- were used to investigate these problems. The following conclusions were reached. There is convincing evidence that the Loan increased long rates and some less convincing evidence that it decreased short rates. In contrast to the U.S. there is no doubt that, in Canada, debt management operations significantly affect the term structure of interest rates. Other determinants of the term structure are expectations, monetary policy, transactions requirements, private sector wealth and the U.S. term structure of interest rates. The Loan was contractionary. Its effect during 1958 is estimated at 1% of GNE, increasing to 5% between 1959 and 1961, and decreasing thereafter. The overall cumulative effect is likely to have exceeded $1 billion. Contrary to conventional wisdom, it was the interest sensitivity of investment rather than the reduction in Canada's competitive position in world markets -- the Loan raised interest rates, attracted "hot capital" and led to an exchange rate appreciation --that engendered the depression.

description: In this paper, we consider a modified projected Gauss-Newton method for solving constrained nonlinear least-squares problems. We assume that the functional constraints are smooth and the the other constraints are represented by a simple closed convex set. We formulate the nonlinear least-squares problem as an optimization problem using the Euclidean norm as a merit function. In our method, at each iteration we linearize the functional constraints inside the merit function at the current point and add a quadratic regularization, yielding a strongly convex subproblem that is easy to solve, whose solution is the next iterate. We present global convergence guarantees for the proposed method under mild assumptions. In particular, we prove stationary point convergence guarantees and under Kurdyka-Lojasiewicz (KL) property for the objective function we derive convergence rates depending on the KL parameter. Finally, we show the efficiency of this method on the power flow analysis problem using several IEEE bus test cases.

description: We quantize the Maxwell theory in the presence of a electric charge in a "dual" Loop Representation, i.e. a geometric representation of magnetic Faraday's lines. It is found that the theory can be seen as a theory without sources, except by the fact that the wave functional becomes multivalued. This can be seen as the dual counterpart of what occurs in Maxwell theory with a magnetic pole, when it is quantized in the ordinary Loop Representation. The multivaluedness can be seen as a result of the multiply-connectedness of the configuration space of the quantum theory.

description: We examine the effect of the thermal vacuum on the power spectrum of inflation by using the thermal field dynamics. We find that the thermal effect influences the CMB anisotropy at large length scale. After removing the divergence by using the holographic cutoff, we observe that the thermal vacuum explains well the observational CMB result at low multipoles. This shows that the temperature dependent factor should be considered in the study of power spectrum in inflation, especially at large length scale.

description: Quantum information processing is the emerging field that defines and realizes computing devices that make use of quantum mechanical principles, like the superposition principle, entanglement, and interference. In this review we study the information counterpart of computing. The abstract form of the distributed computing setting is called communication complexity. It studies the amount of information, in terms of bits or in our case qubits, that two spatially separated computing devices need to exchange in order to perform some computational task. Surprisingly, quantum mechanics can be used to obtain dramatic advantages for such tasks. We review the area of quantum communication complexity, and show how it connects the foundational physics questions regarding non-locality with those of communication complexity studied in theoretical computer science. The first examples exhibiting the advantage of the use of qubits in distributed information-processing tasks were based on non-locality tests. However, by now the field has produced strong and interesting quantum protocols and algorithms of its own that demonstrate that entanglement, although it cannot be used to replace communication, can be used to reduce the communication exponentially. In turn, these new advances yield a new outlook on the foundations of physics, and could even yield new proposals for experiments that test the foundations of physics.

In this Letter, we study the scalar perturbation of RDE with and without matter in the universe, and we find that in both cases, the perturbation is stable if $α> 1/3$, which gives a lower bound for $α$ theoretically.

description: We study the finite-size scaling of heavy-light mesons in the static limit. The most relevant effects are due to the pseudo-Goldstone boson cloud. In the HMChPT framework we compute two-point functions of left current densitities as well as pseudoscalar densitites for the cases in which some or all of them lay in the epsilon-regime. As expected, finite volume dependence turns out to be significant in this regime and can be predicted in the effective theory in terms of the infinite-volume low-energy couplings. These results might be relevant for extraction of heavy-light meson properties from lattice simulations.

description: We have investigated evolution of magneto-rotational instability (MRI) in protoplanetary disks that have radially non-uniform magnetic field such that stable and unstable regions coexist initially, and found that a zone in which the disk gas rotates with a super-Keplerian velocity emerges as a result of the non-uniformly growing MRI turbulence. We have carried out two-dimensional resistive MHD simulations with a shearing box model. We found that if the spatially averaged magnetic Reynolds number, which is determined by widths of the stable and unstable regions in the initial conditions and values of the resistivity, is smaller than unity, the original Keplerian shear flow is transformed to the quasi-steady flow such that more flattened (rigid-rotation in extreme cases) velocity profile emerges locally and the outer part of the profile tends to be super-Keplerian. Angular momentum and mass transfer due to temporally generated MRI turbulence in the initially unstable region is responsible for the transformation. In the local super-Keplerian region, migrations due to aerodynamic gas drag and tidal interaction with disk gas are reversed. The simulation setting corresponds to the regions near the outer and inner edges of a global MRI dead zone in a disk. Therefore, the outer edge of dead zone, as well as the inner edge, would be a favorable site to accumulate dust particles to form planetesimals and retain planetary embryos against type I migration.

description: We introduce a new thermal transport phenomenon, a unidirectional selection-rule blockade, and show how it produces unprecedented rectification of bosonic heat flow through molecular or mesoscopic quantum systems. Rectification arises from the quantization of energy levels of the conduction element and selection rules of reservoir coupling operators. The simplest system exhibiting the selection-rule blockade is an appropriately coupled three-level system, providing a candidate for a high-performance heat diode. We present an analytical treatment of the transport problem and discuss how the phenomenon generalizes to multilevel systems.

description: Posterior computation in hierarchical Dirichlet process (HDP) mixture models is an active area of research in nonparametric Bayes inference of grouped data. Existing literature almost exclusively focuses on the Chinese restaurant franchise (CRF) analogy of the marginal distribution of the parameters, which can mix poorly and has a quadratic complexity with the sample size. A recently developed slice sampler allows for efficient blocked updates of the parameters, but is shown to be statistically unstable in our article. We develop a blocked Gibbs sampler that employs a truncated approximation of the underlying random measures to sample from the posterior distribution of HDP, which produces statistically stable results, is highly scalable with respect to sample size, and is shown to have good mixing. The heart of the construction is to endow the shared concentration parameter with an appropriately chosen gamma prior that allows us to break the dependence of the shared mixing proportions and permits independent updates of certain log-concave random variables in a block. En route, we develop an efficient rejection sampler for these random variables leveraging piece-wise tangent-line approximations.

Biological feasibility of spiny lobster Jasus edqardsii stock enhancement
Creators: name: Oliver, MD
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The highly valued spiny lobster or southern rock lobster (Jasus edwardsil) found in South Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand presents a challenging candidate for aquaculture and stock enhancement efforts. Despite their gregarious nature and high survival in captivity, the protracted larval phase makes commercial-scale hatchery production of seed unfeasible. Therefore, the recently settled juvenile stage, or puerulus, must be trapped in the wild for on-growing in captivity. This puerulus harvest effectively increases exploitation and the conditions of harvest dictate that a proportion of juveniles must be returned to the wild after one year to maintain biological neutrality. Maintaining animals in captivity for lengthy periods, however, can disrupt behavioural development and contribute to high mortality after release into the wild. Research presented here investigates the influence captivity has on the pre- and post-release behaviour of juvenile spiny lobsters and how this may impact the success of reseeding efforts and the related goal of increasing productivity through stock enhancement. Juvenile lobsters reared in captivity without predators and fed by day displayed significantly higher levels of daytime activity than their wild counterparts. This behaviour could be manipulated with the addition of predators or night time feeding. Neither training method was necessary, however, because released lobsters resumed normal nocturnal activity and displayed appropriate anti-predator behaviour. Tethering experiments found predation was greatest in the first two hours after release and in the crepuscular period of the following morning. High predation was likely caused by the attraction of diverpositive fish species during release and high predator activity during crepuscular periods. Midnight observations of foraging distances and acoustic tracking over successive days, found that released lobsters moved similar distances to like-sized wild lobsters and recorded a strong association between den or area fidelity and the presence of conspecifics. Preliminary tank-based experiments to determine the potential for displacement of wild lobsters by released lobsters found that although released lobsters displayed a significant preference for crowding into the same dens as wild animals, disturbance of wild lobsters was minimal. Behavioural changes induced by on-growing in captivity do not appear to influence post-release behaviour or survival. Refined release protocols are likely to substantially reduce initial predation and increase site fidelity where there is an abundance of suitable habitat on contiguous reef. The overall conclusion is that reseeding to compensate for puerulus harvest should lead to enhancement of wild populations with concurrent investigation and improvement of release protocols.

In this case the inertia operator generating the metric on Diff(S^1) is given by A=1-d^2/dx^2. In contrast, the Degasperis-Procesi equation, for which b=3, is not an Euler equation on Diff(S^1) for any inertia operator. Our result generalizes a recent result of B. Kolev.

Evidence in favour of glutamate as a mediator of synaptic transmission
Creators: name: Haldeman, Scott
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A microiontophoretic investigation of neurones in the spinal cord, cuneate nucleus, thalamus and cerebral cortex in the anaesthetized cat indicated that glutamic acid diethyl ester (GDEE), α-methyl-glutamate (αMG) and DL-methionine-DL-sulphoximine (MSO) could reversibiy. block, and glutamic acid dimethyl ester (GDME) and para-chloromercuriphenylsulphonate (pCMS) could enhance the excitation of neurones produced by glutamate and by orthodromic nerve stimulation. The action of GDEE was relatively specific in that it was possible to block glutamate-induced excitations without appreciably reducing the sensitivity of neurones to L-aspartate (Asp), L-cysteate (Cys), DL-homocysteate (DLH) and acetylcholine (ACh), whereas αMG and MSO showed no specificity of action and antagonized the excitatory effects of all the amino acids to the same extent. GDME and pCMS enhanced the action of glutamate and aspartate to a greater extent than that of DLH. The responses of neurones in the spinal cord and thalamus to electrical stimulation of branches of the sciatic nerve and of cuneate neurones to dorsal column stimulation were blocked by GDEE and enhanced by GDME in the same manner as glutamate responses. GDEE blocked the responses of cortical neurones to glutamate and thalamic stimulation but the depressant effect was not as commonly observed as in other areas. Studies on the uptake of labelled glutamate into crude synaptosomal preparations of rat cerebral cortex confirmed the existence of a high and low affinity uptake mechanism for glutamate and showed that GDME inhibits the high affinity uptake system. Glutamate and GDEE, but not αMG, enhanced the release of labelled glutamate from slices of rat cortex. No competition between glutamate and GDEE was observed in this system. αMG was found to block the responses of the abdominal stretch receptor organ of the crayfish to applied glutamate. GDEE blocked the- responses of the closer muscle in the claw to electrical stimulation of the excitatory nerve to this muscle.

description: We introduce a novel loss function, Covariance Loss, which is conceptually equivalent to conditional neural processes and has a form of regularization so that is applicable to many kinds of neural networks. With the proposed loss, mappings from input variables to target variables are highly affected by dependencies of target variables as well as mean activation and mean dependencies of input and target variables. This nature enables the resulting neural networks to become more robust to noisy observations and recapture missing dependencies from prior information. In order to show the validity of the proposed loss, we conduct extensive sets of experiments on real-world datasets with state-of-the-art models and discuss the benefits and drawbacks of the proposed Covariance Loss.

Generalised product integration

description: This thesis is concerned with the construction of quadrature rules for the numerical evaluation of integrals of the form ‚Äöv†¬¥ba w(x)f(x)K(x; ˜í¬™)dx, where the functions w, f and K are required to a possess certain distinct characteristics. Initially, we describe the construction and implementation of a quadrature rule when K(x; ˜í¬™) = (x - ˜í¬™) -1 , a < ˜í¬™ < b, and the above integral is taken to be a Cauchy principal value integral. Convergence of this quadrature rule is investigated when f is a Holder continuous function and when f is an analytic function. In the former case sufficient conditions for convergence of the rule are established, and in the latter case the remainder is expressed as a contour integral from which asymptotic estimates of the remainder may be derived. Particular attention is given to the case when w is a Jacobi weight function. The generalised product integration rule for arbitrary K is developed in Chapter 5. Sufficient conditions for convergence of the generalised rule are established for continuous functions f and K. The implementation and convergence of the rule is further investigated for three functions K of considerable interest, namely: K(x; ˜í¬™) = exp(ix˜í¬™), ˜í¬™ real, I˜í¬™I large; K(x; ˜í¬™) = lnIx - ˜í¬™I,-1 < ˜í¬™ < 1; K(x; ˜í¬™) = Ix - ˜í¬™Is, s > -I, -I < ˜í¬™ < 1. In each case we obtain conditions sufficient to ensure convergence of the rule when w is a Jacobi weight function.
Modification of jet-like correlations in Pb-Au collisions at 158A GeV/c

description: Results of a two-particle correlation analysis of high-$p_t$ charged particles in Pb-Au collisions at 158$A$ GeV/$c$ are presented. The data have been recorded by the CERES experiment at the CERN-SPS. The correlations are studied as function of transverse momentum, particle charge and collision centrality. We observe a jet-like structure in the vicinity of a high-$p_t$ trigger particle and a broad back-to-back distribution. The yields of associated particles per trigger show a strong dependence on the trigger/associate charge combination. A comparison to PYTHIA confirms the jet-like pattern at the near-side but suggests a strong modification at the away-side, implying significant energy transfer of the hard-scattered parton to the medium.

description: Machine learning (ML) is becoming increasingly popular in meteorological decision-making. Although the literature on explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) is growing steadily, user-centered XAI studies have not extend to this domain yet. This study defines three requirements for explanations of black-box models in meteorology through user studies: statistical model performance for different rainfall scenarios to identify model bias, model reasoning, and the confidence of model outputs. Appropriate XAI methods are mapped to each requirement, and the generated explanations are tested quantitatively and qualitatively. An XAI interface system is designed based on user feedback. The results indicate that the explanations increase decision utility and user trust. Users prefer intuitive explanations over those based on XAI algorithms even for potentially easy-to-recognize examples. These findings can provide evidence for future research on user-centered XAI algorithms, as well as a basis to improve the usability of AI systems in practice.

Towards the embodiment of the mask Balinese topeng in contemporary practice
Creators: name: Palermo, C
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis explores the process of mask characterisation in Bali as expressed in performances and in the views of individuals. The polyphony of voices of performers, officials, cultural analysts and village audiences gives multifarious expression to a sense of cultural identity. This identity is in continuous flux, as topeng masked dance drama reflects the way in which Bali itself is changing in the contemporary world. Starting with an analysis of the performative principles of masked dance-drama practice, with each chapter I analyse a broader context of the relationship between these basic performative principles and daily life. The performers' voices interweave with written discourse on Balinese culture, depicted as in increasing need of protection. Balinese culture (and dance as one of its manifestations) has had to be protected by separating what is truly linked to Balinese tradition (mainly based on religion) from what is not. The separation, at discourse level, has created two domains; one sacred, fixed and exclusively Balinese, and one profane, flexible and able to be \contaminated\" through interaction with the outside world. Balinese topeng moves between these domains. In its increased role within ceremonies it reinforces essential Balinese identity also the subject of intense media discourse in the post-Bali bombing period. At the same time as part of the entertainment domain topeng becomes a medium for reinterpreting traditional concepts and affording performers new freedoms. Recently comedy and laughter predominating in performances for entertainment and also intruding into the ceremonial domain have been interpreted by some as empty escapism. Is this indeed how the laughter should be interpreted or do its capacities to heal trauma and provide release from the pressures of chauvinist cultural discourse connect at a deeper level with contemporary Balinese social reality? Another contemporary development posing questions for the future of topeng form is the involvement of women. Women now participate in topeng both for entertainment and ceremonies but so far have not taken on the most sacred mask. Will they do so in future? Can the basic principles of Balinese performance and cultural identity be extended to allow women to help create harmony with nature through unity with the mask?"

KMS Inequalities: From Elliptic Operators to Constant Rank

description: Korn-Maxwell-Sobolev (KMS) inequalities represent a tool for estimating differential expressions and have gained particular importance in recent years, especially concerning elliptic operators. In my Master's thesis, together with Peter Lewintan (University of Duisburg-Essen), we extended this concept to also apply to operators of constant rank. This makes it possible to cover more complex structures such as the curl or divergence of vector fields.
 A key difference from the elliptic theory is that in the constant rank case, a correction term $Π_\mathbb{B}$ is necessary on the left-hand side of the inequality. Results were also obtained for the limiting case $p=1$, although additional assumptions are required here. This article provides an illustrative introduction to KMS inequalities and demonstrates their application in both the elliptic and constant rank cases.

PR - Leadership Development In The UK Farming Industry: Outcomes Of A Leadership Programme

subject: personal-development

description: Among the changes that the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy is demanding from the UK farm industry, is the urgent need for a different style of leadership. The economic support to farmers has been decoupled from production and moved toward environmental practices, creating a totally different economic environment where farmers are more exposed to market forces and public assessment (Curry, 2002) Previous research e.g. Alliston (1998) has shown that the new reality requires a cultural change in the farming industry where leaders should be very conscious of the importance of alliances to add political strength and financial viability instead of the traditional charismatic leader from the front and top of organizations. The objectives of the paper are: a) to review recent research findings about the dynamics of leadership in the context of rapidly changing agricultural industry; b) to describe the Leadership Course of the Institute of Farm Management, and analyse itâ€™s development over the last six years regarding the pursuit of its two main objectives, the development of individuals and opportunities for networking. The paper presents the results and analysis of a survey conducted in 2006 among 20 former participants, concerning which are the most important benefits that they have gained after the completion of the course, and how it has affected their career progression and individual achievements. The results confirm the findings of Mintzberg and Collinson. Mintzberg (2004)found that to develop good leaders, programmes like this should focus on encouraging active discussions and challenging interactions among participants, guest speakers and experts. Collinson (2005, 2006) concluded that studies of leadership need to develop a much deeper understanding of the complex interaction between leaders and followers, and also highlighted the tensions, contradictions and ambiguities that typically characterize the dynamics of leaderships. Additionally, the results show a significant increase in self-confidence, and stress the importance of networking. The paper concludes that the course has a positive effect on the participants, encouraging a more involving attitude and preparing them for demanding and challenging positions of high responsibilities.

description: Research in north and south New South Wales (NSW), Australia was conducted to assess the benefits of genetically modified (GM) cotton. Gross margins from 20,263 hectares on two properties for a three to five year period were analysed. A phone survey of cotton growers in the target districts was also used to determine grower opinions on benefits of cotton type. This also allowed for comparison between growing regions. Performance of cotton types is extremely variable, with no cotton type having a clear economic advantage. In years with high weed and/or Heliothis pressure, the financial return of GM cotton should be better than that of conventional cotton. However, findings indicate that GM cotton displays significant environmental and social benefits, due to reduction in chemical use and easier management. Although not as profitable, southern growers have adopted management practices to improve profitability and prefer GM Cotton because it is â€œeasier to growâ€. Keywords: genetically modified cotton, environmental benefits, social benefits.

Ion transport in root cells of Vicia faba.
Creators: name: Pallaghy, C K
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis is concerned with a study of the ionic relations and electrical properties of root cells in both intact growing roots and in root tissue segments of Vicia faba. A picture of the ionic state of the cells is built up from the measurement of intracellular potentials, ion concen trations and ion fluxes. The active or passive transport of each ion was considered using a criterion based on electro chemical theory, and an attempt was made to confirm these results by a study of the metabolic effects on potassium fluxes and the intracellular potential.
BRST approach to Lagrangian formulation of bosonic totally antisymmeric tensor fields in curved space

description: We apply the BRST approach, previously developed for higher spin field theories, to gauge invariant Lagrangian construction for antisymmetric massive and massless bosonic fields in arbitrary d-dimensional curved space. The obtained theories are reducible gauge models both in massless and massive cases and the order of reducibility grows with the value of the rank of the antisymmetric field. In both the cases the Lagrangians contain the sets of auxiliary fields and possess more rich gauge symmetry in comparison with standard Lagrangian formulation for the antisymmetric fields. This serves additional demonstration of universality of the BRST approach for Lagrangian constructions in various field models.

description: The European Union Water Framework Directive requires governments to set water quality objectives based on good ecological status. This includes specific requirements to control diffuse pollution. Diffuse phosphorus (P) pollution plays a pivotal role in influencing water quality with losses of P associated with soil particles often linked to soil erosion. The Mitigation Options for Phosphorus and Sediment (MOPS) project in the UK is investigating the cost effectiveness of specific control measures in terms of mitigating sediment and P loss from combinable crops. The measures focus on different cultivation techniques, vegetative barriers, disruption of tramline management and crop residue management. Results from the first year of the project suggest that some mitigation options may not be cost effective in reducing diffuse pollution, however, that other options may be very cost effective.

What do early adolescent girls like and dislike about their appearance? A qualitative and quantitative examination of body appreciation among ethnically diverse girls
Creators: name: Frick, Erika
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: The current study examined early adolescent girls’ perceptions of their appearance and their body appreciation. Several research questions have been explored: Do girls of this age experience body appreciation? What physical features are girls most likely to identify as the features they most like and dislike about their appearance? Is liking or disliking of certain physical features most likely to contribute to or detract from body appreciation? Are there differences in these experiences by race/ethnicity? The participants were 142 early adolescent girls (M age = 12.06, SD = 1.22, range = 10-15 years). Girls’ body image was measured using the Body Appreciation Scale-2 (Tylka & Wood- Barcalow, 2015) and two open-ended questions about the physical features they like and dislike. Results indicate that preadolescent girls’ body appreciation is similar to that of adult women’s and that girls’ who report liking their body features are more likely to have higher body appreciation than girls who report liking their facial features. No significant ethnic differences in body appreciation were found. This study contributes to the body image literature by examining these constructs among an ethnically diverse sample, a younger sample than is typically studied, and through the inclusion of qualitative responses from girls.
