Controls in business and IT : formalization and application
Creators: name: Limonad, Lior
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Controls in business are the means used to ensure business operations comply with a set of given rules, such as legal requirements, standards, and policies. Business compliance with regulations has gained particular importance due to the introduction of legislation to prevent business misconduct, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in the U.S. One outcome is that controls are more widely used and are often related to Information Technology (IT), because IT systems are used to implement business controls, and because the introduction of IT entails additional control concerns. Thus, control aspects should be an integral part of the analysis and design of information systems. Furthermore, information systems need to be examined for the completeness and correctness of their controls. Despite the importance of controls, no general, well-formalized, framework is available to guide the analysis of control requirements, or the design of controls in systems. This work introduces a conceptual framework for controls, based on an ontological foundation. The framework is built upon the key notion of the control system, from which two complementary views were derived: the Enterprise View (EV) which conceptualizes control as a `thing', and the Process View (PV) which conceptualizes control as an `action'. Based on these views, two concrete applications were developed to evaluate the correctness and usefulness of the underlying conceptual framework. A classification scheme, or a typology, was derived from the EV and can be used to manage control assets. The second application is a process modeling grammar enrichment, which was derived from the PV and is designed to explicitly incorporate control activities in two alternative styles. Both proposed applications were empirically evaluated, concluding their effectiveness in promoting better organizational compliance.

description: The generation of DC magnetic fields in unmagnetized plasmas with velocity shear is predicted for non relativistic and relativistic scenarios either due to thermal effects or due to the onset of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI). A kinetic model describes the growth and the saturation of the DC field. The predictions of the theory are confirmed by multidimensional particle-in-cell simulations, demonstrating the formation of long lived magnetic fields ($t \sim 100s ω_{pi}^{-1}$) along the full longitudinal extent of the shear layer, with transverse width on the electron length scale ($\sqrt{γ_0}c/ω_{pe}$), reaching magnitudes $eB_{\mathrm{DC}}/m_ecω_{pe}\sim β_0\sqrt{γ_0}$.
Development of Strong-Motion Database for the Sumatra-Java Region
Creators: name: Rudyanto, Ariska
Publisher: name: The Australian National University

description: "This study focuses on the development of an Indonesian strong ground motion database. This research will be an important contribution to Indonesian earthquake hazard assessment. This work will be perform in three (3) stages: (1) construction of earthquake-related parameters catalogue; (2) compilation of site condition information using various techniques; and (3) processing recorded ground-motions using well-known procedures to produce ground motion parameters commonly used in seismology and engineering applications. The construction of the database in this study produced 3090 records from about 249 earthquakes. It found among 249 earthquakes in this study 63 earthquakes categorize as interface/megathrust, 161 earthquakes as intraslab, 4 earthquakes as crustal, and 21 earthquakes are of unknown type. Then, the database will be used for investigating which published Ground Motion Prediction Equations (GMPE) are appropriate to use in Indonesian earthquake hazard assessment. The relevant GMPEs compared in this study are based on the resemblance of geologic and tectonic conditions of the regions where the GMPEs were developed to the study area. Twelve GMPEs have been considered in this study, consisting of nine GMPEs derived for subduction-zone event types (intraslab and interface regimes) and three GMPEs derived for the crustal regime. The analysis of GMPEs in this study was done using the graphical analysis of residuals between the observed ground motion value and the corresponding values predicted by each GMPE. The visual analysis of the statistical graphs presented in this study indicates four GMPEs (Youngs (1997), Zhao (2006), Kanno (2006) and Lin-Lee (2008) match with the recorded data reasonably well, while the others have poor fit with the data. In this study, we also rank the GMPEs using the quantitative method proposed by Scherbaum et.al (2004). The Scherbaum e.al (2004) scheme shows that comparison of PGA/PSA with threshold value 0.0005 m/s2 gives a better output than using all data. In this study, we found that among all models, only the Youngs (1997) and Zhao (2006) provide predictions consistent with the data and are classified as C class (the lowest capability class)."

description: People’s inquiries would be developed at best when exercised in a tripartite format -that is, problematizations, analyzations, systemizations- should the inquiry process be integrated. When this is missed, inquiries, and related findings, are not to be considered as complete. It is the simple human inquiry, which lies in the human nature, that gives rise to social systems. Individual profession, organizational clan, and societal culture consist the core levels and the inevitable units of a social system while direct the following seven key deductions: (1) human inquiry results in social formation including the social levels of individual, organizations, and societies as we know them today; (2) human evolves to individual, a core unit regarding social formations; (3) the role of culture; (4) where the effect of perception lies and why; (5) individual perceiving would not progress to societal processing unless organizational pursuing would be in place; (6) why societies should only process, not pursue, nor perceive for their citizens; (7) the perceptions, the pursuits and the processes in a social system are initially triggered and further evolve by the humans’ problematization, analyzation, and systemization forms of inquiry.
Magnetic Phase transitions in Plasmas and Transport Barriers

description: A model of magnetic phase transitions in plasmas is presented: plasma blobs with pressure excess or defect are dia- or para-magnets and move radially under the influence of the background plasma magnetisation. It is found that magnetic phase separation could be the underlying mechanism of L to H transitions and drive transport barrier formation. Magnetic phase separation and associated pedestal build up, as described here, can be explained by the well known interchange mechanism, now reinterpreted as a magnetisation interchange which remains relevant even when stable or saturated. A testable necessary criterion for the L to H transition is presented.

description: The use of the vacuum lepton pair production process ($ν\to νe^- e^+ $), a viable reaction for superluminal neutrinos, to put constraints on Lorentz violations requires a dynamical framework. Different choices of dynamical matrix elements and modified dispersion relations for neutrinos, leading to numerical factors differing by one order of magnitude in the results for the pair production decay width, are used to show the uncertainties on these constraints.

description: We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of a peculiar variable (designated DASCH J075731.1+201735 or J0757) discovered from our DASCH project using the digitized Harvard College Observatory archival photographic plates. It brightened by about 1.5 magnitudes in B within a year starting in 1942, and then slowly faded back to its pre-outburst brightness from 1943 to the 1950s. The mean brightness level was stable before and after the outburst, and ellipsoidal variations with a period of $P=119.18\pm0.07$ days are seen, suggesting that the star is tidally distorted. Radial-velocity measurements indicate that the orbit is nearly circular ($e=0.02\pm0.01$) with a spectroscopic period that is the same as the photometric period. The binary consists of a $1.1\pm0.3 M_\odot$ M0III star, and a $0.6\pm0.2 M_\odot$ companion, very likely a white dwarf (WD). Unlike other symbiotic binaries, there is no sign of emission lines or a stellar wind in the spectra. With an outburst timescale of ~10 years and estimated B band peak luminosity M_B~0.7, J0757 is different from any other known classic or symbiotic novae. The most probable explanation of the outburst is Hydrogen shell-burning on the WD, although an accretion-powered flare cannot be ruled out.

We prove that the leaves of $\mathcal F$ are the fibers of a holomorphic $G$-equivariant submersion $π\colon M \to N$ onto a $G$-homogeneous complex manifold $N$. We also show that if $\mathcal Q$ is an automorphism family of a hyperbolic convex (possibly unbounded) domain $D$ in $\mathbb C^n$, then the fixed point set of $\mathcal Q$ is either empty or a connected complex submanifold of $D$.

Security, privacy and efficiency in RFID systems
Creators: name: Vahedi, Ehsan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a ubiquitous wireless technology that allows objects to be identified automatically. Using the RFID technology can simplify many applications and provide many benefits but meanwhile, the security and privacy of RFID systems should be taken into account. In this thesis, we have two goals. The first one is to improve the security and privacy in RFID systems. Our second goal is to provide accurate analytical models for the most important tag singulation schemes. We use these analytical models to evaluate and compare the efficiency of the tag singulation schemes. First, we study the blocking attack in RFID systems and develop an analytical model for it. Using this analytical model, we propose two probabilistic blocker tag detection (P-BTD) algorithms for RFID systems that operate based on the binary tree walking and ALOHA techniques. Then, we study the security and privacy of some recently introduced light-weight authentication protocols, and discuss their advantages and drawbacks. Based on this analysis and considering the hardware limitations of RFID tags, we propose a new authentication protocol that improves the security and privacy in RFID systems. By taking advantage of the analytical model we proposed for the ALOHA-based P-BTD algorithm, we develop an accurate tag estimate method. Using the proposed method, we can estimate the number of tags in RFID systems accurately, and design more efficient ALOHA-based tag singulation mechanisms. Next, we study the EPC Gen-2 protocol and its tag singulation mechanism. We model the EPC Gen-2 protocol as an absorbing Markov chain. Using the model proposed, we derive accurate analytical expressions for the expected number of queries and the expected number of transmitted bits needed to identify all tags in the RFID system. Finally, we study the use of the CDMA technique for RFID systems. We model the CDMA-based tag singulation procedure as an absorbing Markov chain, and derive accurate analytical expressions for the expected number of queries and the amount of transmitted data needed to identify all tags in the system. Using the analytical models developed, we compare the performance of the CDMA-based and the EPC Gen-2 tag singulation schemes.

description: A new geometric method to determine the deflection of light in the equatorial plane of the Kerr solution is presented, whose optical geometry is a surface with a Finsler metric of Randers type. Applying the Gauss-Bonnet theorem to a suitable osculating Riemannian manifold, adapted from a construction by Nazım, it is shown explicitly how the two leading terms of the asymptotic deflection angle of gravitational lensing can be found in this way.

description: We analyze the nanocaloritronic performance of an interacting quantum dot that is subject to an applied bias and an applied temperature gradient. It is now well known that, in the absence of phonon contribution, a weakly coupled non-interacting quantum dot can operate at thermoelectric efficiencies approaching the Carnot limit. However, it has also been recently pointed out that such peak efficiencies can only be achieved when operated in the reversible limit, with a vanishing current and hence a vanishing power output. In this paper, we point out three fundamental results affecting the thermoelectric performance due to the inclusion of Coulomb interactions: a) The reversible operating point carries zero efficiency, b) operation at finite power output is possible even at peak efficiencies approaching the Carnot value, and c) the evaluated trends of the the maximum efficiency deviate considerably from the conventional {\it{figure of merit}} $zT$ based result. Finally, we also analyze our system for thermoelectric operation at maximum power output.

description: Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) is a family of computational techniques in Bayesian statistics. These techniques allow to fi t a model to data without relying on the computation of the model likelihood. They instead require to simulate a large number of times the model to be fi tted. A number of re finements to the original rejection-based ABC scheme have been proposed, including the sequential improvement of posterior distributions. This technique allows to de- crease the number of model simulations required, but it still presents several shortcomings which are particu- larly problematic for costly to simulate complex models. We here provide a new algorithm to perform adaptive approximate Bayesian computation, which is shown to perform better on both a toy example and a complex social model.

The Life of Mick Namarari Tjapaltjarri (c1923-1998)
Creators: name: O'Halloran, Alec Bayly
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2013

description: Biographies of Australian Indigenous artists are a recent phenomenon. This thesis responds to a growing national and international interest in Indigenous lives and art by focusing on Mick Namarari Tjapaltjarri, a Pintupi man whose life span coincided with the colonisation of the Western Desert region of Central Australia in the twentieth century. This thesis represents the first biography of Namarari and the first of a Pintupi individual. Importantly, it explores the long-term relationship between one of Papunya's founding artists and the Papunya Tula Artists organisation. The question of how an Indigenous artist's biography may be written for a contemporary audience has received scant scholarly attention, with no apparent model of best practice for the genre. This cross-cultural study draws on the fields of anthropology, social history and art history and the practices of life writing, oral history and formal analysis. A key concern is that of the visibility of the subject, given that he and the author never met. The biography was assembled from fragmentary data originating in existing oral history records and supplemented by interviews with relatives of Namarari and with art advisors who worked with him over three decades. The broad aim of the thesis is to respond to the questions: what can a study of Mick Namarari Tjapaltjarri's life and art career tell us about him as a individual, and then, how does that illuminate our understanding of the Pintupi people and the development of Papunya Tula art? Namarari's life story is presented chronologically and takes into account his culture, family life and art practice. He survived the transition from a traditional lifestyle into and through the fraught cross-cultural milieu of European colonisation. Namarari's adaptive responses to changing government policies were counter-balanced by a quiet determination to honour his culture's primary values. The recognition he achieved as an artist overshadows his less visible role as an unassuming cross-cultural educator. Namarari's legacy is demonstrably significant and worthy of posthumous recognition.

description: We analyze the properties of dark matter halos in the cold-plus-warm dark matter cosmologies (CWDM). We study their dependence on the fraction and velocity dispersion of the warm particle, keeping the free-streaming scale fixed. To this end we consider three models with the same free-streaming: (1) a mixture of 90% of CDM and 10% of WDM with the mass 1 keV; (2) a mixture of 50% of CDM and 50% of WDM with the mass 5 keV; and (3) pure WDM with the mass 10 keV. "Warm" particles have rescaled Fermi-Dirac spectrum of primordial velocities (as non-resonantly produced sterile neutrinos would have). We compare the properties of halos among these models and with a LCDM with the same cosmological parameters. We demonstrate, that although these models have the same free-streaming length and the suppression of matter spectra are similar at scales probed by the Lyman-alpha forest comoving wave-numbers k<3-5 h/Mpc), the resulting properties of halos with masses below 1e11 Msun are different due to the different behaviour of matter power spectra at smaller scales. In particular, we find that while the number of galaxies remains the same as in LCDM case, their density profiles become much less concentrated, and hence in better agreement with current observational constraints. Our results imply that a single parameter (e.g. free streaming length) description of these models is not enough to fully capture their effects on the structure formation process.

description: We extract the leading effective range corrections to the equation of state of the unitary Fermi gas from ab initio fixed-node quantum Monte Carlo (FNQMC) calculations in a periodic box using a density functional theory (DFT), and show them to be universal by considering several two-body interactions. Furthermore, we find that the DFT is consistent with the best available unbiased QMC calculations, analytic results, and experimental measurements of the equation of state. We also discuss the asymptotic effective-range corrections for trapped systems and present the first QMC results with the correct asymptotic scaling.

description: Let $ϕ: \mathbb{R}^n\times[0,\fz)\rightarrow[0,\fz)$ be a function such that $ϕ(x,\cdot)$ is an Orlicz function and $ϕ(\cdot,t)\in A^{\mathop\mathrm{loc}}_{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ (the class of local weights introduced by V. S. Rychkov). In this paper, the authors introduce a local Hardy space $h_ϕ(\mathbb{R}^n)$ of Musielak-Orlicz type by the local grand maximal function, and a local $\mathop\mathrm{BMO}$-type space $\mathop\mathrm{bmo}_ϕ(\mathbb{R}^n)$ which is further proved to be the dual space of $h_ϕ(\mathbb{R}^n)$. As an application, the authors prove that the class of pointwise multipliers for the local $\mathop\mathrm{BMO}$-type space $\mathop\mathrm{bmo}^ϕ(\mathbb{R}^n)$, characterized by E. Nakai and K. Yabuta, is just the dual of $L^1(\rn)+h_{Φ_0}(\mathbb{R}^n)$, where $ϕ$ is an increasing function on $(0,\infty)$ satisfying some additional growth conditions and $Φ_0$ a Musielak-Orlicz function induced by $ϕ$. Characterizations of $h_ϕ(\mathbb{R}^n)$, including the atoms, the local vertical and the local nontangential maximal functions, are presented. Using the atomic characterization, the authors prove the existence of finite atomic decompositions achieving the norm in some dense subspaces of $h_ϕ(\mathbb{R}^n)$, from which, the authors further deduce some criterions for the boundedness on $h_ϕ(\mathbb{R}^n)$ of some sublinear operators. Finally, the authors show that the local Riesz transforms and some pseudo-differential operators are bounded on $h_ϕ(\mathbb{R}^n)$.

description: A proportion of young people with Down syndrome (DS) experience unexplained regression that severely impacts on their daily lives. While this condition has been recognised by clinicians, there is a limited understanding of causation and an inconsistent approach to diagnosis and treatment. Varied symptomology and little knowledge of the cause of this regression have impacted on clinician’s ability to prevent or manage this condition. The purpose of this review was to examine the current evidence surrounding unexplained regression in adolescents and young adults, and to establish patterns that may be of use to clinicians, as well as raising awareness of this condition. Four areas were specifically reviewed, (1) terminology used to refer to this condition, (2) the symptoms reported, (3) potential trigger events and, (4) treatments and prognosis. A variety of terminology is used for this condition, which has constrained past attempts to identify patterns. An extensive number of symptoms were reported, however sleep impairment, loss of language and distinct changes in personality and behaviour, such as disinterest and withdrawal, were among the most frequently seen. Life events that were tentatively associated with the onset of a regressive period included a significant change in environmental circumstances or a transition, such as moving home or leaving school. Prognosis for this condition is relatively positive with the majority of individuals making at least a partial recovery. However, few patients were found to make a full recovery to their previous level of functioning and serious adverse effects could persist in those who have made a partial recovery. This is an under-researched condition with significant impacts on people with DS and their families. There are no established treatments for this condition and there is relatively little recognition in the research community. Further studies that focus on the prevention and treatment of this condition with controlled treatment trials are needed.

description: For mesoscopic ensembles containing 100 or more atoms we measure the total atom number and the number of atoms in a specific hyperfine state with single-atom resolution. The measurement detects the atom-induced shift of the resonance frequency of an optical cavity containing the ensemble. This work extends the range of cavity-based detection with single-atom resolution by more than an order of magnitude in atom number, and provides the readout capability necessary for Heisenberg-limited interferometry with atomic ensembles.

description: Background: Atherosclerosis is a systemic inflammatory disease, with common inflammatory processes implicated in both atheroma vulnerability and blood-brain barrier disruption. This prospective multimodal imaging study aimed to measure directly the association between systemic atheroma inflammation (“atheroinflammation”) and downstream chronic cerebral small vessel disease severity. Methods: Twenty-six individuals with ischemic stroke with ipsilateral carotid artery stenosis of >50% underwent 18fluoride-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography within 2 weeks of stroke. Small vessel disease severity and white matter hyperintensity volume were assessed using 3-tesla magnetic resonance imaging also within 2 weeks of stroke. Results: Fluorodeoxyglucose uptake was independently associated with more severe small vessel disease (odds ratio 6.18, 95% confidence interval 2.1–18.2, P < 0.01 for the non-culprit carotid artery) and larger white matter hyperintensity volumes (coefficient = 14.33 mL, P < 0.01 for the non-culprit carotid artery). Conclusion: These proof-of-concept results have important implications for our understanding of the neurovascular interface and potential therapeutic exploitation in the management of systemic atherosclerosis, particularly non-stenotic disease previously considered asymptomatic, in order to reduce the burden of chronic cerebrovascular disease.

Liberalism's loyal opposition : contemporary attitudes to Russia in the wake of the cold war
Creators: name: Horsfield, Dorothy
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2015

description: The thesis explores the continuities that underpin public debate about Russia in the post-Soviet era. It approaches the question using the conceptual framework of new Cold War warriors and re-invented fellow travellers for two reasons. The first is that debates that seek to re-conjure spectres of Marxism or socialism in contemporary Russia are not a notable feature of the work of today's academic scholarship. Instead most of the analysis is centred on evaluating either civilizational or sociological perspectives on the country. Much of it is focused too on the governance of Vladimir Putin, an approach which includes a singular amount of psychologising about his alleged personal failings, both as a leader and as a foreign policy strategist. The second reason is that, though radically opposed, these two concepts anchor the dissertation in the spectrum of liberal thought from classical Liberalism, to economic Liberalism, to neo-liberal utopianism and, more recently, liberal pluralism. The implication is that, in one way or another, for most commentators, both within Russia and internationally, Western liberal norms provide a benchmark with which to appraise Russia's response to the demands of modernity and modernisation, the vagaries of global capitalism and the institutionalisation of democratic freedoms. Within these contentious arenas, the dissertation falls broadly into two camps. On one side are those who are still welded to either a Cold War skepticism or an ideological rigidity that invites a ready condemnation of the new Russia; and those who are more hopeful that the country's future can be more humane than its past. The approach is not aimed at adjudicating about which side will carry the day. Rather it constitutes an inevitably selective, innovative and ambitious commentary about commentaries. Its intention is to foster in both writer and reader a more reflective understanding of the assumptions and presumptions, as well as the areas of uncertainty, in interpretations of today's governance. Admittedly, given the breadth of historical and ongoing research, as well as the myriad ways real existing social worlds defy easy categorisation, the result is more likely to veer towards an impressionistic effect. Admittedly too, it is also an effect which veers towards an antipathy about many of the claims of the new Cold War warriors.
Assessing Sensitivity of Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis to Fault Parameters : Java and Sumatra Case Study
Creators: name: Omang, Amalfi
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2014

description: "The aim of this thesis is to study the impact of fault parameter uncertainty on seismic hazard analysis using Java and Sumatra, Indonesia, as case studies. Slip rate and fault geometry are two important inputs in determining seismic hazard, because they are used to estimate earthquake recurrence and maximum magnitude, both of which strongly influence near fault hazard levels. However, the uncertainty of slip-rates and fault geometry are rarely considered in probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA), which is surprising given that estimates of slip-rate can vary significantly from different data sources (e.g. geologic vs. geodetic). We produce PSHA maps for Java and Sumatra, and study the contribution from the crustal faults and subduction sources. We also analyse the contribution from different components of the subduction source. The importance of the regolith amplification and the method which might be best for application in Indonesia is also discussed. We use the PSHA method to assess the sensitivity of seismic hazard to fault parameters along the Sumatran Fault System (SFS) in Sumatra, Indonesia and we consider the aleatory uncertainty of fault slip by employing the logic tree tools to include epistemic uncertainty alternative slip rates. The weighting of the logic tree branches are determined by the probability density function of the slip rate estimates using the approach of Zechar and Frankel (2009). We consider how the PSHA result accounting for slip rate uncertainty differ from that for a specific slip rate by examining hazard values as a function of return period and distance from the fault. We also consider the locking width of the fault, to study the effect from different maximum magnitudes. Our study demonstrates that uncertainty in fault slip-rates, fault geometry and maximum magnitude have a significant impact on hazard level and area impacted by earthquakes and should be considered in PSHA studies."
