description: The study uses Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model (ARDL) to examine the relationship between economic growth and service sector in Tanzania for the period 1970 to 2015. Further, bounds test of cointegration is used to test for existence of long-run relationship among the variables. Results show that the real economic growth is positively related to the growth rate of the services sector, and the latter’s effect is statistically significant in the long-run as postulated in theory. The error correction term has the envisaged negative sign and is statistically significant, implying convergence towards the long-run equilibrium. The results also show there is a bi-directional causality between GDP growth and growth of services sector. However, the growth in services sector has no effect on the economic growth in the short-run. This calls for friendly cum enabling business environment for investment and business operations in trade, tourism, financial sector, etc. in order to enhance value addition in the services industry. Promotion of technological innovations in the services sector is very crucial so as to improve efficiency, quality and productivity in delivery of services and thus enhance competition. The services sector should be considered as equally important as industrial sector due to cross-fertilization between the two.

Τα αποτελέσματα των τιμών της εξάντλησης Ε% του χρώματος και του λόγου Κ/S παρουσία ενζύμων μελετήθηκαν σε θερμοκρασίες 50, 70, 85 και 1000C συγκρίθηκαν με τις αντίστοιχες τιμές των δειγμάτων των μαρτύρων (βαμμένα δείγματα απουσία ενζύμου) καθώς και με τα δείγματα που βάφηκαν παρουσία των βοηθητικών βαφής Kahatex, Egalen στις ίδιες θερμοκρασίες. Η μελέτη δείχνει ότι τα ένζυμα μπορούν να χρησιμοποιηθούν ως βοηθητικά για τη βαφή των μάλλινων ινών σε ήπιες συνθήκες θερμοκρασίας.
description: Two proteolytic enzymes protease and bioprot multi were used as auxiliaries in the dyeing of wool fabrics with acid dye of different number sulfur group. The effect of the enzymes presence on the exhaustion E% of the dye and the K/S values was studied at 50, 70, 85 and 1000C and compared to the corresponding values of the reference samples (dyed samples without enzyme) and those of samples who dyed in the presence of agents for wool dyeing Kahatex and Egalen at the same temperatures. The study shows that enzymes could be used as auxiliaries for wool dyeing under mild temperature conditions.

description: In this paper we extend our recent work on two-dimensional (2D) diffusive search-and-capture processes with multiple small targets (narrow capture problems) by considering an asymptotic expansion of the Laplace transformed probability flux into each target. The latter determines the distribution of arrival or capture times into an individual target, conditioned on the set of events that result in capture by that target. A characteristic feature of strongly localized perturbations in 2D is that matched asymptotics generates a series expansion in $ν=-1/\ln ε$ rather than $ε$, $0

description: Σκοπός της παρούσας έρευνας ήταν να εξετάσει την σχέση των τριών βασικών ψυχολογικών αναγκών για αυτονομία, ικανότητα και κοινωνικές σχέσεις με την αυτό-αποτελεσματικότητα για ξεπέρασμα εμποδίων για άσκηση. Το δείγμα της έρευνας αποτέλεσαν 384 Έλληνες ενήλικες ασκούμενοι που συμμετείχαν σε οργανωμένα προγράμματα άσκησης σε ιδιωτικά και δημοτικά γυμναστήρια. Για την έρευνα χρησιμοποιήθηκαν δύο ερωτηματολόγια. Για να αξιολογηθεί ο βαθμός στον οποίο οι ασκούμενοι αισθάνονται ότι ικανοποιούνται οι τρεις βασικές ψυχολογικές ανάγκες, χρησιμοποιήθηκε η «Κλίμακα των Βασικών Ψυχολογικών Αναγκών στην Άσκηση» ενώ για να εξεταστεί η αυτό-αποτελεσματικότητα για ξεπέρασμα των εμποδίων για άσκηση χρησιμοποιήθηκε ένα ερωτηματολόγιο αυτό-αποτελεσματικότητας. Τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας έδειξαν ότι μόνο η ανάγκη για ικανότητα σχετίζονταν μέτρια με την αυτοπεποίθηση για το ξεπέρασμα των εμποδίων κατάστασης, των απαιτήσεων ανταγωνιστικών της άσκησης και των προσωπικών συναισθημάτων.

All operations in our scheme are attainable in optical lattice or solid state systems. We also investigate universal quantum operations and quantum simulation in 2 dimensional lattice. We find global manipulations are superior in simulating some nontrivial many body Hamiltonians.

Mending bodies : polio treatment in Australia
Creators: name: Highley, Kerry Ann

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: RA644.P9 H54 2009
subject: Poliomyelitis History 20th centuryAustralia
subject: Epidemics Treatment History 20th centuryAustralia

description: This thesis examines the social context of a disease during a time of social crisis: the epidemics of poliomyelitis that emerged in the twentieth century. Its focus is on the Australian experience, within the context of what was happening overseas, particularly in the United States of America, England and New Zealand. It investigates the disease of polio and its treatment over a long period, the scientific endeavour that led to the discovery of the poliovirus, and the early studies in virology and immunology that culminated in the production of a polio vaccine. Early histories of medicine were often written from the perspective of the leading medical men and neglected the experience of the patient, who was viewed with increased subjectivity. That approach has changed and, throughout this thesis, the voice of the polio survivor can be heard clearly. The personality of the survivor governed the response to the disease: ethnicity, class, age and gender all mediated the individual reaction. For some polio survivors, feelings of fear, rejection, denial and anger at suddenly finding themselves to be different in a world that valued conformity were universal. For two generations in the twentieth century, the influence of polio was profound, especially for those who survived their encounter with the virus and were treated for the paralysis that sometimes followed: treatment that generated a fierce debate between medical practitioners and those who advocated alternative therapies. By the 1950s, most Western countries had abandoned the orthodox medical practice of immobilising polio survivors in plaster casts for many months. That was not the case in Australia, where the monopoly of orthodox medicine in the treatment of polio paralysis remained unchallenged until the counterculture and feminist movements, political activism, and the influx of new ideas from around the world transformed Australian society and its formerly unquestioning attitude towards doctors and medicine.
Rational solutions of Painleve systems

description: Although the solutions of Painlevé equations are transcendental in the sense that they cannot be expressed in terms of known elementary functions, there do exist rational solutions for specialized values of the equation parameters. A very successful approach in the study of rational solutions to Painlevé equations involves the reformulation of these scalar equations into a symmetric system of coupled, Riccati-like equations known as dressing chains. Periodic dressing chains are known to be equivalent to the $A_N$-Painlevé system, first described by Noumi and Yamada. The Noumi-Yamada system, in turn, can be linearized as using bilinear equations and $τ$-functions; the corresponding rational solutions can then be given as specializations of rational solutions of the KP hierarchy. The classification of rational solutions to Painlevé equations and systems may now be reduced to an analysis of combinatorial objects known as Maya diagrams. The upshot of this analysis is a an explicit determinental representation for rational solutions in terms of classical orthogonal polynomials. In this paper we illustrate this approach by describing Hermite-type rational solutions of Painlevé of the Noumi-Yamada system in terms of cyclic Maya diagrams. By way of example we explicitly construct Hermite-type solutions for the PIV, PV equations and the $A_4$ Painlevé system.

description: We present GAZED- eye GAZe-guided EDiting for videos captured by a solitary, static, wide-angle and high-resolution camera. Eye-gaze has been effectively employed in computational applications as a cue to capture interesting scene content; we employ gaze as a proxy to select shots for inclusion in the edited video. Given the original video, scene content and user eye-gaze tracks are combined to generate an edited video comprising cinematically valid actor shots and shot transitions to generate an aesthetic and vivid representation of the original narrative. We model cinematic video editing as an energy minimization problem over shot selection, whose constraints capture cinematographic editing conventions. Gazed scene locations primarily determine the shots constituting the edited video. Effectiveness of GAZED against multiple competing methods is demonstrated via a psychophysical study involving 12 users and twelve performance videos.

Essays on political economy

Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Economics Political aspects.
subject: Expenditures, Public
subject: Democracy
subject: Elections Economic aspects

description: This thesis consists of three self-contained essays which address three different issues with respect to the roles of democratic and non-democratic institutions in the economy. The first essay titled, 'Democratisation, systems of government and public spending' investigates whether changes from non-democratic government systems to democracy bring about a significant effect on the size of public spending relative to a country's economy. Based on unbalanced panel data for 177 countries over the period 1960-2008, the results provide evidence that the effect of democratisation on public spending size is not robustly significant and depends on the specifics of government systems that prevail before and after a political change. Further, the results provide evidence that only democratisation that originates from a military dictatorship and ends up with a parliamentary democracy has a robust and significant effect on public spending size. The second essay titled 'Electoral budget cycles under non-democratic regimes' investigates the relationship between elections and central government budget balance in countries that are considered to be non-democratic. Using a sample consisting of unbalanced panel data from 29 countries between 1960 and 2006, the essay provides evidence that electoral budget cycles do exist under non-democratic regimes. The relationship between elections and central government budget balance is significant and robust to a number of variations in control variables, estimation models, sample selection criteria and designations of election year dummy. The essay also provides evidence that the persistence of the relationship is driven by countries that are less distant from democracy (that is, shallow autocracies). The third essay titled 'Food prices and political survival' investigates the relationship between food prices and the occurrence of national leader exits, particularly in food importing countries. Using international food price and domestic consumption data to construct a country-specific food price index for 77 economies between 1961 and 2009, the essay provides evidence that food prices have a robust significant effect on political survival. The effect does not change with changes in the log of real GDP per capita, real GDP per capita growth rate and the state of democracy. However, once the joint-effect between food prices and the state of democracy is controlled, the effect of food prices on political survival is significant only under democracy and not under non-democracy.

description: Observations of two H$_2$CO ($3_{03}-2_{02}$ and $3_{21}-2_{20}$) lines and continuum emission at 1.3 mm towards Sgr B2(N) and Sgr B2(M) have been carried out with the SMA. The mosaic maps of Sgr B2(N) and Sgr B2(M) in both continuum and lines show a complex distribution of dust and molecular gas in both clumps and filaments surrounding the compact star formation cores. We have observed a decelerating outflow originated from the Sgr B2(M) core, showing that both the red-shifted and blue-shifted outflow components have a common terminal velocity. This terminal velocity is 58$\pm$2 km s$^{-1}$. It provides an excellent method in determination of the systematic velocity of the molecular cloud. The SMA observations have also shown that a large fraction of absorption against the two continuum cores is red-shifted with respect to the systematic velocities of Sgr B2(N) and Sgr B2(M), respectively, suggesting that the majority of the dense molecular gas is flowing into the two major cores where massive stars have been formed. We have solved the radiative transfer in a multi-level system with LVG approximation. The observed H$_2$CO line intensities and their ratios can be adequately fitted with this model for the most of the gas components. However, the line intensities between the higher energy level transition H$_2$CO ($3_{21}-2_{20}$) and the lower energy level transition H$_2$CO ($3_{03}-2_{02}$) is reversed in the red-shifted outflow region of Sgr B2(M), suggesting the presence of inversion in population between the ground levels in the two K ladders (K$_{-1}$= 0 and 2). The possibility of weak maser processes for the H$_2$CO emission in Sgr B2(M) is discussed.

description: Rapidly developing technologies are realizing a 3D telepresence, in which geographically separated users can interact with each other through their virtual avatars. In this paper, we present novel methods to determine the avatar's position in an indoor space to preserve the semantics of the user's position in a dissimilar indoor space with different space configurations and furniture layouts. To this end, we first perform a user survey on the preferred avatar placements for various indoor configurations and user placements, and identify a set of related attributes, including interpersonal relation, visual attention, pose, and spatial characteristics, and quantify these attributes with a set of features. By using the obtained dataset and identified features, we train a neural network that predicts the similarity between two placements. Next, we develop an avatar placement method that preserves the semantics of the placement of the remote user in a different space as much as possible. We show the effectiveness of our methods by implementing a prototype AR-based telepresence system and user evaluations.

description: We consider classical representations of integers: Church's function iterators, cardinal equivalence classes of sets, ordinal equivalence classes of totally ordered sets. Since programs do not work on abstract entities and require formal representations of objects, we effectivize these abstract notions in order to allow them to be computed by programs. To any such effectivized representation is then associated a notion of Kolmogorov complexity. We prove that these Kolmogorov complexities form a strict hierarchy which coincides with that obtained by relativization to jump oracles and/or allowance of infinite computations.

Mental Health Facilities With Ketamine Infusion Therapy in the United States in 2020: Co-Location of Dual Diagnosis Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Treatment
Creators: name: Ware, Orrin D.
Publisher: name: American Psychological Association (APA)
Year: 2024

description: Ketamine is an anesthetic that has been identified as an effective therapy for depressive disorders and related symptoms. Some studies have identified ketamine as having the potential to reduce substance use among individuals with a substance use disorder (SUD)-alongside psychotherapy. Further, SUDs often co-occur with depressive disorders. Using the National Mental Health Services Survey 2020, this study examined a national sample of N = 134 U.S. mental health treatment facilities that provide ketamine infusion therapy (KIT) to identify their geographic locations; availability of individual, couples/family, and group counseling; payment options; and capacity to provide treatment for dually diagnosed mental health (MH) and substance use disorders. Approximately 63% (n = 85) of the facilities in this sample had dual diagnosis MH and SUD treatment. Having group therapy was associated with having dual diagnosis MH and SUD treatment. Alternatively, accepting Medicaid was not associated with having dual diagnosis MH and SUD treatment. This exploratory study estimates dual diagnosis MH and SUD treatment availability among MH treatment facilities offering KIT. Given evidence of KIT's ability to effectively treat depressive disorders and that SUDs often co-occur with them (ketamine's effectiveness in treating substance use disorders warrants further study), the present study's up-to-date information about the distribution salient characteristics of MH facilities that offer this effective treatment can inform future efforts to identify the potential of these facilities to treat co-occurring disorders with ketamine and psychotherapy.

We also estimate the probability of a random choice of local encoding vectors by all intermediate nodes giving a network error-correcting codes attaining the Singleton bound. We also clarify the relationship between the robust network coding and the network error-correcting codes with known locations of errors.

description: Αυτή η εργασία παρουσιάζει έναν επανασχεδιασμό ελέγχου νευρωνικού δικτύου, ο όποιος επιτυγχάνει την εύρωστη σταθεροποιησιμότητα παρουσία αμοντελοποίητης δυναμικής, που περιορίστηκε να είναι Input to Output practically Stable (IOpS), χωρίς να απαιτείται οποιαδήποτε προγενέστερη γνώση σχετικά με οποιαδήποτε φραγμένη συνάρτηση. Επιπλέον, η κατάσταση της δυναμικής επιτρέπεται να είναι φραγμένη υπό τον όρο ότι το nominal system state και/ή the control input που εισάγεται είναι επίσης φραγμένα. Ο ελεγκτής νευρωνικού δικτύου είναι εξοπλισμένος με μια στρατηγική επανεκκίνησης (resetting strategy) για να αντιμετωπίζει το πρόβλημα της πιθανής διαίρεσης με το μηδέν, το οποίο μπορεί να εμφανιστεί δεδομένου ότι θεωρούμε άγνωστους διανυσματικούς τομείς με άγνωστα πρόσημα. Η έξοδος του συστήματος είναι ομοιόμορφα υπέρτατα φραγμένη (uniform ultimate bounded) ως προς ένα αυθαίρετα μικρό σύνολο, όπως και η φραγή όλων των άλλων σημάτων στον κλειστό βρόγχο.
description: This study presents a neural network control redesign, which achieves robust stabilization in the presence of unmodeled dynamics restricted to be input to output practically stable (IOpS), without requiring any prior knowledge on any bounding function. Moreover, the state of the unmodeled dynamics is permitted to go unbounded provided that the nominal system state and/or the control input also go unbounded. The neural network controller is equipped with a resetting strategy to deal with the problem of possible division by zero, which may appear since we consider unknown input vector fields with unknown signs. The uniform ultimate boundedness of the system output to an arbitrarily small set, plus the boundedness of all other signals in the closed-loop is guaranteed.

description: Using the tip of a scanning probe microscope as a local electrostatic gate gives access to real space information on electrostatics as well as charge transport at the nanoscale, provided that the tip-induced electrostatic potential is well known. Here, we focus on the accurate characterization of the tip potential, in a regime where the tip locally depletes a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) hosted in a semiconductor heterostructure. Scanning the tip in the vicinity of a quantum point contact defined in the 2DEG, we observe Fabry-Pérot interference fringes at low temperature in maps of the device conductance. We exploit the evolution of these fringes with the tip voltage to measure the change in depletion radius by electron interferometry. We find that a semi-classical finite-element self-consistent model taking into account the conical shape of the tip reaches a faithful correspondence with the experimental data.

description: We introduce a machine free mathematical framework to get a natural formalization of some general notions of infinite computation in the context of Kolmogorov complexity. Namely, the classes Max^{X\to D}_{PR} and Max^{X\to D}_{Rec} of functions X \to D which are pointwise maximum of partial or total computable sequences of functions where D = (D,_{ct} K^{0',D}. We characterize the orders leading to each case. We also show that K^D_{min}, K^D_{max} cannot be both much smaller than K^D at any point. These results are proved in a more general setting with two orders on D, one extending the other.

description: University-established modalities to help undergraduate students navigate the path to medical school are often implemented toward the end of college or following graduation. This imposes cost and time burdens that may be contribute to the high rate of premedical attrition, especially for students who are members of a marginalized community. In the fall 2022 semester, an asynchronous, self-directed pre-health module was offered to biology majors at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill enrolled in a required introductory biology research skills course. The objective of the five-lesson intervention was to enhance student understanding of the path to becoming a successful applicant early in their college career. The module aimed to increase the accessibility of pre-health advising and was designed to be easily shared and adapted across various learning management systems. A pre- and post-module survey was administered to assess changes in students' perceived understanding of and confidence for success on the pre-health track following completion of the course.

description: Ένα από τα πιο σημαντικά ζητήματα του εργατικού δικαίου είναι η τύχη των εργασιακών σχέσεων σε περίπτωση μεταβολής του προσώπου του εργοδότη, λόγω μεταβίβασης της επιχείρησης. Η βασική αρχή του Π.Δ. 178/2002 συνίσταται στο ότι όλα τα υφιστάμενα δικαιώματα και υποχρεώσεις που έχει ο μεταβιβάζων από σύμβαση ή σχέση εργασίας μεταβιβάζονται στο διάδοχο εφόσον διατηρείται η ταυτότητα της επιχείρησης κι η οικονομική της δραστηριότητα. Με την υπεισέλευση του διαδόχου διατηρούνται αμετάβλητα η θέση της εργασίας και κατά κύριο λόγο το περιεχόμενο της σύμβασης. Συμπληρωματική προστασία εισάγει η απαγόρευση καταγγελίας της σύμβασης εργασίας εκ μέρους του εργοδότη όταν αυτή έχει ως αιτία την μεταβίβαση της επιχείρησης καθώς και η εισαγωγή του θεσμού της πλήρους και σωρευτικής αναδοχής των γεννημένων απαιτήσεων των μισθωτών εκ μέρους των δύο εργοδοτών μέχρι το χρονικό σημείο της μεταβίβασης της εργασιακής σχέσης. Αντίστοιχη προστασία εισάγεται και για τους όρους των συλλογικών συμβάσεων και των κανονισμών εργασίας καθώς διασφαλίζεται η συνέχιση της ισχύος των συλλογικών ρυθμίσεων που δέσμευαν τον προκάτοχο εργοδότη όχι μόνο κατά περιεχόμενο αλλά και κατά ποιότητα.
description: One of the most important issues of the labor law is the fate of the labor relations in case of the employer’s change, due to the transfer of the business. The basic principle of the Presidential Decree 178/2002 consists in that all existing transferor’s rights and obligations, due to a work contract or relation, are transferred to his successor, provided that the identity of the company and its financial activity continues. The position and mainly the content of the contract remain invariable on the arrival of the successor. There is an additional protection by prohibiting the employer to terminate the work contract, when this is due to the transfer of the business, as well as the introduction of the institution of full and cumulative undertaking of the employees’ born requirements from both employers till the time of transfer of the work relation. A respective protection measure is also introduced for the terms of collective agreements and the labor regulations, as the continuance of the collective regulations, binding the former employer not only in connection to its content but also in qualitative terms, is ensured.

description: Η παρούσα έρευνα πραγματοποιήθηκε με σκοπό α) την αποσαφήνιση της έννοιας της δημιουργικότητας στις διαφημίσεις μη κερδοσκοπικών οργανώσεων σύμφωνα με την αντίληψη των καταναλωτών, καθώς και β) τον έλεγχο επίδρασής της στην ανάκληση της διαφήμισης και της μάρκας στη μνήμη τους, ως μέτρα διαφημιστικής αποτελεσματικότητας. Η μεθοδολογία της έρευνας βασίστηκε στη διεξαγωγή ομάδων εστίασης, με αποτέλεσμα την άντληση σημαντικών ποιοτικών και ποσοτικών στοιχείων. Τα αποτελέσματα της ποιοτικής έρευνας οδήγησαν στην εξαγωγή ενός ορισμού για τη δημιουργικότητα στη διαφήμιση που στηρίζεται στις αντιλήψεις των καταναλωτών. Ο ορισμός που εξάχθηκε τονίζει τη σημασία της πρωτοτυπίας, της φαντασίας και της ευφυΐας ως παράγοντες διαφημιστικής δημιουργικότητας. Τα ευρήματα της ποσοτικής έρευνας παρουσιάζουν θετική συσχέτιση μεταξύ της διαφημιστικής δημιουργικότητας και ανάκλησης. Κύρια συνεισφορά της παρούσας έρευνας είναι η προσφορά ενός πλαισίου ανάλυσης της διαφημιστικής δημιουργικότητας από την πλευρά των καταναλωτών, το οποίο θα αποτελέσει χρήσιμο εργαλείο μελέτης μίας ανεξερεύνητης πλευράς της διαφήμισης.
description: This study explored consumers’ perception of advertising creativity in the sector of non-profit organizations. The researcher also examined the influence of advertising creativity on the ad and brand recall scores. The research methodology is based on conducting focus groups sessions in order to collect influential qualitative and quantitative data for analysis. The results of the qualitative research led to a definition of creativity in advertising from the consumers’ perceptive. Originality, imagination and intelligence are mentioned as the factors of advertising creativity. Findings from quantitative research show positive correlation between advertising creativity and recall. The main contribution of this research is the development of a framework of analysis about ad creativity as a consumer defines it. This could be a useful tool for the study of a terra incognita in advertising.

description: There exists observational evidence that the interstellar medium has a fractal structure in a wide range of spatial scales. The measurement of the fractal dimension (Df) of interstellar clouds is a simple way to characterize this fractal structure, but several factors, both intrinsic to the clouds and to the observations, may contribute to affect the values obtained. In this work we study the effects that opacity and noise have on the determination of Df. We focus on two different fractal dimension estimators: the perimeter-area based dimension (Dper) and the mass-size dimension (Dm). We first use simulated fractal clouds to show that opacity does not affect the estimation of Dper. However, Dm tends to increase as opacity increases and this estimator fails when applied to optically thick regions. In addition, very noisy maps can seriously affect the estimation of both Dper and Dm, decreasing the final estimation of Df. We apply these methods to emission maps of Ophiuchus, Perseus and Orion molecular clouds in different molecular lines and we obtain that the fractal dimension is always in the range 2.6 < Df < 2.8 for these regions. These results support the idea of a relatively high (> 2.3) average fractal dimension for the interstellar medium, as traced by different chemical species.

description: A liquid scintillator (LS) is developed for the Taishan Antineutrino Observatory (TAO), a ton-level neutrino detector to measure the reactor antineutrino spectrum with sub-percent energy resolution by adopting Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) as photosensor. To reduce the dark noise of SiPMs to an acceptable level, the LS has to work at -50 degree or lower. A customized apparatus based on a charge-coupled device (CCD) is developed to study the transparency of the liquid samples in a cryostat. We find that the water content in LS results in transparency degradation at low temperature, which can be cured by bubbling dry nitrogen to remove water. Adding 0.05% ethanol as co-solvent cures the solubility decrease problem of the fluors PPO and bis-MSB at low temperature. Finally, a Gadoliniumdoped liquid scintillator (GdLS), with 0.1% Gd by weight, 2 g/L PPO, 1 mg/L bis-MSB, and 0.05% ethanol by weight in the solvent LAB, shows good transparency at -50 degree and also good light yield.

description: We examine the optical properties of two different configurations of an ordered liquid crystal film on a catenoid forming coreless disclinations. We find the effective optical metric from which we obtain the geodesics and wave modes characterizing thus the propagation of light on this surface. We show that the optical metric describes a two-dimensional section of the spacetime of a conical wormhole.

description: In this paper the internal structure of a neutron star is shown to be inferrable from its gravitational-wave spectrum. Iteratively applying the inverse scheme of the scaled coordinate logarithmic perturbation method for neutron stars proposed by Tsui and Leung [Astrophys. J. {\bf 631}, 495 (2005)], we are able to determine the mass, the radius and the mass distribution of a star from its quasi-normal mode frequencies of stellar pulsation. In addition, accurate equation of state of nuclear matter can be obtained from such inversion scheme. Explicit formulas for the case of axial $w$-mode oscillation are derived here and numerical results for neutron stars characterized by different equations of state are shown.
