title: A Flexible Lane Detection Algorithm for Dynamic Lighting Environments
Creators: name: Bottazzi, Vitor S.
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Intelligent transportation systems.
subject: Traffic lanes.

description: On average four people get killed and 90 people get seriously injured on Australian roads every day, according to research conducted by the Australian government. Intelligent systems can help to reduce the number of accidents on the roads by creating tools to monitor the driver’s behaviour according to the lane path. Lane detectors are important tools and many approaches have been applied to solve the lane detection problem, but most of them are not capable of dealing with dynamic lighting efficiently. The current approaches still rely in expensive computational effort and long training phases. The reliability of the lane detection is a key component for safe navigation on the roads and an automatic solution becomes an interesting topic to explore. This research proposes a vision-based software architecture which combines an appearance-based analysis with salient point tracking, automatically adapting to different lighting situations. It aims to increase the efficiency and accuracy for the detection of the left- or rightmost lane boundary (ego-lane) providing a flexible software architecture to support drivers and to be extended to driverless vehicle control. The experiments exposed a series of important facts to address. First, the adaptive appearance-based analysis is capable of segmenting multiple lane painting marks. Second, the system can reduce the false positive detection by using an efficient road model. The proposed model guides the image processing cues to focus on relevant Regions-Of-Interest (ROIs) for lane marking detection instead of the analysing the whole image.

description: We consider a Dirac equation set on an extended spin space that contains fermion and boson solutions. At given dimension, it determines the scalar symmetries. The standard field equations can be equivalently written in terms of such degrees of freedom, and are similarly constrained. At 9+1 dimensions, the SU(3) X SU(2)_L X U(1) gauge groups emerge, as well as solution representations with quantum numbers of related gauge bosons, leptons, quarks, Higgs-like particles and others as lepto-quarks. Information on the coupling constants is also provided; e. g., for the hypercharge g'=(1/2) sqrt(3/5) ~ >.387, at tree level.

TRENDS ON THE ARTIFICIAL FERTILIZER MARKET AND IN FERTILIZERS USE IN HUNGARY

description: The fertilizer market in Hungary is rather concentrated, which has a strong influence on the price of the fertilizer. Our domestic fertilizer use is primarily determined by that of nitrogen. The use of phosphorus is also significant but the trends in the use of potassium do not match the total quantities applied in individual years. Consequently, it can be concluded that the majority of farmers still focus on the application of nitrogen and also apply phosphorus but either neglect or do not pay enough attention to potassium fertilization. The changes in fertilizer prices between 2006 and 2017 can be broken down into two periods. Until 2012 a very important and dynamic increase was observed as a result of which the prices of N, P and K fertilizers increased by 80-120%, 160% and about 120%, respectively. This was followed by a downturn in the market and in relation to 2012 prices there were 20-30/ decreases experienced until 2017 but the rate of this lagged behind the prices in other European countries. Owing to this trend the prices of N, P and K have increased by 60%, 100% and 80%, respectively, over the past ten years. The correlation between fertilizer application and the prices of fertilizers in any given year is low but there is a positive one observed between fertilizer application and the fertilizer prices in the preceding year. This means supposedly that farmers mostly buy the fertilizers they wish to apply not in the current but in the preceding year and store them until these are applied. There is a strong correlation seen between fertilizer prices and the prices of corn and wheat, which means that fertilizer traders also keep tabs on economic results and also increase fertilizer prices under the influence of higher prices. Furthermore, it can be claimed that there is no correlation between crude oil prices on the world market and domestic N fertilizer prices. This is an important factor since the primary base material of N fertilizers is natural gas and their production involves considerable energy costs as well. It can be seen, however, that this is not what determines our domestic fertilizer prices, which can be explained by the fact that the price calculations by the determining actors on the Hungarian fertilizer market is not based on costs but on the demand.

description: Segmenting consumers based on generational cohort membership is a widely used and accepted practice among academics and practitioners. The concept, shared life experiences of a generational cohort create shared beliefs, attitudes and behaviour among the cohort’s members, underpins this segmentation approach. Interest in generational cohorts has fuelled debate on the defining consumer characteristics of each cohort, and lead to stereotyping of their beliefs, attitudes and behaviour. Yet, cross-generational empirical research into the factors that shape generational consumer behaviour is absent despite immense interest. This study fills this knowledge gap by developing a model of generational consumer decision-making. This study focuses on the generational cohorts known as the Baby Boomers (born 1946 to 1964), Generation X (born 1965 to 1976) and Generation Y (born 1977 to 1994). These cohorts are the focus of most academic studies on this topic, represent the largest adult consumer group in Australia at present and are having a worldwide influence on consumer trends. A sequential mixed methods approach was employed for this study involving seven focus group interviews with members of the Baby Boomer, Generation X and Generation Y cohorts, followed by a national online survey of Australians from these three cohorts. Quantitative data analysis was based on 627 responses, principally analysed using the Partial Least Squares approach to Structural Equation Modelling. The result of this study advances consumer attitudinal theory and generational cohort analysis by unpacking the underlying influences on generational consumer decision-making. The results show that intention to purchase is determined by a consumer’s attitude, consistent with the theory of reasoned action and theory of planned behaviour that underpin this study.

description: We seek a measure of the neutron density of 208Pb from analyses of intermediate energy nucleon elastic scattering. The pertinent model for such analyses is based on coordinate space nonlocal optical potentials obtained from model nuclear ground state densities. Those potentials give predictions of integral observables and of angular distributions which show sensitivity to the neutron density. When compared with experiment, and correlated with analyses of electron scattering data, the results suggest that 208Pb has a neutron skin thickness ~0.17 fm.

description: It has previously been shown that probabilistic quantum logic operations can be performed using linear optical elements, additional photons (ancilla), and post-selection based on the output of single-photon detectors. Here we describe the operation of several quantum logic operations of an elementary nature, including a quantum parity check and a quantum encoder, and we show how they can be combined to implement a controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate. All of these gates can be constructed using polarizing beam splitters that completely transmit one state of polarization and totally reflect the orthogonal state of polarization, which allows a simple explanation of each operation. We also describe a polarizing beam splitter implementation of a CNOT gate that is closely analogous to the quantum teleportation technique previously suggested by Gottesman and Chuang [Nature 402, p.390 (1999)]. Finally, our approach has the interesting feature that it makes practical use of a quantum-eraser technique.

description: Women who farmed and local government may have played key roles in managing for drought in Australia during 2006-2010 but their knowledge and experiences were not always documented or evaluated. Research has demonstrated how agrarian and neoliberal ideologies and Australia’s negation of women who farmed from the national census resulted in knowledge and experiences of women who farmed being marginalised and discounted by agricultural leadership organisations and decision making processes. Smith’s (1990a) feminist standpoint theory was used to establish the everyday lives of women who farmed and locate their experience as significant to enhancing agricultural knowledge. Prioritising their recollection of the drought enabled the women to recognise the importance of their ideas, experiences and expertise. Other theoretical tools such as Bourdieu’s (Swartz 1997; Raedeke, Green, Hodge & Valdivia 2003) notions of ‘habitus’, ‘capital’ and ‘field’ along with Heller’s (2005) theoretical perspective about ideology were used to enhance the theoretical framework. Qualitative methods of in-depth interviews and text analysis of documents were used to gather and analyse the data. The study was located in the latter four years (2006-2010) of Australia’s Millennium Drought and focused on the Goulburn Valley, a mixed farming region of Australia’s south-eastern state of Victoria. A thematic analysis of eleven in-depth interviews from women who farmed in the Goulburn Valley during that time formed the foundation from which findings were analysed and discussed. This was followed by an interpretive text analysis of the role local government played during that drought using, with permission, the Greater Shepparton City Council’s Drought Program reports written at that time. Evidence suggested initially agrarian and neoliberal ideologies provided some support for women and men who farmed during Australia’s Millennium Drought. As the drought continued, norms around notions of preparedness and resilience appeared to fragment and issues arose regarding the impact of hardship, providing appropriate services and preparing for the longer term impact of recurring droughts and climate change. The thesis found that women did have experience and expertise that could enhance the knowledge of people who farm to better prepare and manage for future droughts in Australia and they identified how local government could be better utilised to support rural communities more effectively.

description: Title: Efficacy of Radioactive Iodine in Hyperthyroidism Abstract: Radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy is a highly effective treatment for hyperthyroidism, particularly in Graves' disease, the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. RAI works by selectively destroying the overactive thyroid tissue while sparing the surrounding healthy tissue. This leads to a gradual reduction in thyroid hormone levels, ultimately resulting in the resolution of hyperthyroid symptoms.Introduction: Hyperthyroidism is a condition characterized by an overactive thyroid gland, which produces an excess of thyroid hormones. This can lead to symptoms such as weight loss, rapid heartbeat, and nervousness. Graves' disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism, accounting for approximately 60-80% of cases.Methods: Studies have shown that RAI therapy is effective in achieving long-term remission or cure of hyperthyroidism in a significant percentage of patients. For example, a study found that 75% of patients achieved cure (hypothyroidism) after a single dose of RAI, with the remaining patients requiring additional treatments such as a second dose of RAI or thyroidectomy.Results: RAI therapy is generally well-tolerated, with the most common side effect being the development of hypothyroidism, which can be managed with thyroid hormone replacement therapy. Overall, RAI therapy is considered a safe and effective treatment option for hyperthyroidism, particularly in patients who are not candidates for surgery or prefer a non-surgical approach.Conclusion: In conclusion, RAI therapy is an effective treatment for hyperthyroidism, particularly in Graves' disease. It works by selectively destroying the overactive thyroid tissue, leading to a gradual reduction in thyroid hormone levels and resolution of symptoms. RAI therapy is generally well-tolerated and is considered a safe and effective treatment option for hyperthyroidism.

description: The prediction of complex nonlinear dynamical systems with the help of machine learning techniques has become increasingly popular. In particular, reservoir computing turned out to be a very promising approach especially for the reproduction of the long-term properties of a nonlinear system. Yet, a thorough statistical analysis of the forecast results is missing. Using the Lorenz and Rössler system we statistically analyze the quality of prediction for different parametrizations - both the exact short-term prediction as well as the reproduction of the long-term properties (the "climate") of the system as estimated by the correlation dimension and largest Lyapunov exponent. We find that both short and longterm predictions vary significantly among the realizations. Thus special care must be taken in selecting the good predictions as predictions which deliver better short-term prediction also tend to better resemble the long-term climate of the system. Instead of only using purely random Erdös-Renyi networks we also investigate the benefit of alternative network topologies such as small world or scale-free networks and show which effect they have on the prediction quality. Our results suggest that the overall performance with respect to the reproduction of the climate of both the Lorenz and Rössler system is worst for scale-free networks. For the Lorenz system there seems to be a slight benefit of using small world networks while for the Rössler system small world and Erdös -Renyi networks performed equivalently well. In general the observation is that reservoir computing works for all network topologies investigated here.

description: This study investigates key institutional factors promoting the adoption of laser land levelling (LLL), a technology that has gained wide popularity among farmers in northwestern India despite being indivisible. The main objective is to evaluate the role of service providers, offering LLL on a rental basis to farmers, for technology dissemination among smallholders with fragmented plots. Plot-level data from 1,661 households across 84 villages in Punjab and western Uttar Pradesh in India were collected and used to analyse farmers’ LLL technology perceptions and adoption decisions. Regression models were developed to estimate the role of local service provision for LLL adoption while controlling for farm, household, and other contextual variables. The analysis pays particular attention to the heterogeneous effects of service provision on farmers with different farm and plot sizes. The data and estimates reveal that local access to a larger number of service providers is associated with higher rates of LLL adoption among farmers. The effect of service providers on adoption varies by farm and plot size: it is larger on smaller farms/plots. The findings suggest that a conducive institutional environment that accommodates the specific needs of different farm sizes can speed up innovation adoption. This finding makes a case for re-evaluating traditional agricultural technology scaling models to include individual service provision for broader and more inclusive adoption.

description: We argue that it is possible to maintain both supersymmetry and integrability in the boundary tricritical Ising field theory. Indeed, we find two sets of boundary conditions and corresponding boundary perturbations which are both supersymmetric and integrable. The first set corresponds to a ``direct sum'' of two non-supersymmetric theories studied earlier by Chim. The second set corresponds to a one-parameter deformation of another theory studied by Chim. For both cases, the conserved supersymmetry charges are linear combinations of Q, \bar Q and the spin-reversal operator Γ.

description: The success of non-relativistic quantum dynamics in accounting for the binding energies and spectra of light nuclei with masses up to A=10 raises the question whether the same dynamics applied to infinite nuclear matter agrees with the empirical saturation properties of large nuclei.The simple unambiguous relation between few-nucleon and many-nucleon Hamiltonians is directly related to the Galilean covariance of nonrelativistic dynamics. Relations between the irreducible unitary representations of the Galilei and Poincare groups indicate thatthe ``nonrelativistic'' nuclear Hamiltonians may provide sufficiently accurate approximations to Poincare invariant mass operators. In relativistic nuclear dynamics based on suitable Lagrangeans the intrinsic nucleon parity is an explicit, dynamically relevant, degree of freedom and the emphasis is on properties of nuclear matter. The success of this approach suggests the question how it might account for the spectral properties of light nuclei.

description: Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy allows for high-speed label-free chemical imaging of biomedical systems. The imaging sensitivity of SRS microscopy is limited to ~10 mM for endogenous biomolecules. Electronic pre-resonant SRS allows detection of sub-micromolar chromophores. However, label-free SRS detection of single biomolecules having extremely small Raman cross-sections (~10-30 cm2 sr-1) remains unreachable. Here, we demonstrate plasmon-enhanced stimulated Raman scattering (PESRS) microscopy with single-molecule detection sensitivity. Incorporating pico-Joule laser excitation, background subtraction, and a denoising algorithm, we obtained robust single-pixel SRS spectra exhibiting the statistics of single-molecule events. Single-molecule detection was verified by using two isotopologues of adenine. We further demonstrated the capability of applying PESRS for biological applications and utilized PESRS to map adenine released from bacteria due to starvation stress. PESRS microscopy holds the promise for ultrasensitive detection of molecular events in chemical and biomedical systems.

description: The aim of this thesis is to investigate the challenge of 'affordability' in the delivery of critical utility services such as water and energy to Australian households. The experience of utility stress and hardship is not uncommon among many low-income households in contemporary Australian society. The causes and associated outcomes of utility affordability are multi-dimensional. My thesis provides both an analytical framework and a policy perspective to respond to household utility stress in energy and water in Australia. The thesis is divided into discrete research studies guided in turn by their own research questions. In Chapter Two and Chapter Three, I explore the complexity of water and energy affordability problems from a time dimension and policy dimension. From a historical perspective, I critically analyse the social implications of urban water and energy sectors reform. Examining the changes in policy and governance regimes leads us to elucidate a variety of policy instruments to address utility affordability problems across sectors and stakeholders. I demonstrate that a clear responsibility across sectors and a collaborative policy framework is required to address this emerging social challenge. Chapters Four to Chapter Six form a series of empirical research to explore the concept of water and energy affordability and its measurement in the Australian context, and to evaluate the efficiency, effectiveness, and social-equity implications of the major policy instruments – state water and energy concessions. My overarching conclusion of these chapters is that the current state water and energy concession schemes need reform towards a more equitable and efficient approach to target to those most in need assistance. In summary, the problems of utility stress and hardship are multifaceted. A shared vision, a clear responsibility across sectors, a collaborative framework as well as a more equitable, efficient and effective policy design are required to successfully address utility affordability challenges in contemporary Australia.
The influence of context on the handmade ceramic vessel: A practice-led investigation into the potential of wheel-thrown vessels within the restaurant and art gallery environments

description: My research explores the influence of context on the interpretation and artistic potential of the hand made ceramic vessel. My process has involved making a variety of objects and reflecting upon them within the context of two specific environments: the restaurant and the art gallery. Working in collaboration with two restaurants in Canberra, I explored the relationship between the Slow Movement and contemporary hand made ceramics. Making work for the art gallery context, I sought to challenge the traditional concepts of ʻfunctionʼ and ʻuseʼ by abstracting familiar tableware forms and surfaces. The restaurant and art gallery contexts offer different and unique qualities that influence meaning and creative potential of the ceramic vessel. My research investigates what is gained and what is lost in tailoring work for these two environments.
Color-allowed Bottom Baryon to $s$-wave and $p$-wave Charmed Baryon non-leptonic Decays

description: We study color allowed bottom baryon to $s$-wave and $p$-wave charmed baryon non-leptonic decays in this work. The charmed baryons include spin-1/2 and spin-3/2 states. Explicitly, we consider $Λ_b\to Λ^{(*,**)}_c M^-$, $Ξ_b\toΞ_c^{(**)} M^-$ and $Ω_b\toΩ^{(*,**)}_c M^-$ decays with $M=π, K, ρ, K^*, a_1, D, D_s, D^*, D^*_s$, $Λ^{(*,**)}_c=Λ_c, Λ_c(2595), Λ_c(2625), Λ_c(2765), Λ_c(2940)$, $Ξ_c^{(**)}=Ξ_c, Ξ_c(2815), Ξ_c(2790)$ and $Ω^{(*,**)}_c=Ω_c, Ω_c(2770), Ω_c(3050), Ω_c(3090), Ω_c(3120)$. There are six types of transitions, namely, (i) ${\cal B}_b({\bf \bar 3_f},1/2^+)$ to ${\cal B}_c({\bf \bar 3_f},1/2^+)$, (ii) ${\cal B}_b({\bf 6_f},1/2^+)$ to ${\cal B}_c({\bf 6_f},1/2^+)$, (iii) ${\cal B}_b({\bf 6_f},1/2^+)$ to ${\cal B}_c({\bf 6_f},3/2^+)$, (iv) ${\cal B}_b({\bf 6_f},1/2^+)$ to ${\cal B}_c({\bf 6_f},3/2^-)$, (v) ${\cal B}_b({\bf \bar 3_f},1/2^+)$ to ${\cal B}_c({\bf \bar 3_f},1/2^-)$, and (vi) ${\cal B}_b( {\bf \bar 3_f},1/2^+)$ to ${\cal B}_c({\bf \bar 3_f},3/2^-)$ transitions. Types (i) to (iii) involve spin 1/2 and 3/2 $s$-wave charmed baryons, while types (iv) to (vi) involve spin 1/2 and 3/2 $p$-wave charmed baryons. The transition form factors are calculated in the light-front quark model approach. All of the form factors in the $1/2\to 1/2$ and $1/2 \to 3/2$ transitions are extracted, and they are found to reasonably satisfy the relations obtained in the heavy quark limit, as we are using heavy but finite $m_b$ and $m_c$. Using naïve factorization, decay rates and up-down asymmetries of the above modes are predicted and can be checked experimentally. The study on these decay modes may shed light on the quantum numbers of $Λ_c(2765)$, $Λ_c(2940)$ $Ω_c(3050)$, $Ω_c(3090)$ and $Ω_c(3120)$.

Probabilistic Inference in Piecewise Graphical Models

description: In many applications of probabilistic inference the models contain piecewise densities that are differentiable except at partition boundaries. For instance, (1) some models may intrinsically have finite support, being constrained to some regions; (2) arbitrary density functions may be approximated by mixtures of piecewise functions such as piecewise polynomials or piecewise exponentials; (3) distributions derived from other distributions (via random variable transformations) may be highly piecewise; (4) in applications of Bayesian inference such as Bayesian discrete classification and preference learning, the likelihood functions may be piecewise; (5) context-specific conditional probability density functions (tree-CPDs) are intrinsically piecewise; (6) influence diagrams (generalizations of Bayesian networks in which along with probabilistic inference, decision making problems are modeled) are in many applications piecewise; (7) in probabilistic programming, conditional statements lead to piecewise models. As we will show, exact inference on piecewise models is not often scalable (if applicable) and the performance of the existing approximate inference techniques on such models is usually quite poor. This thesis fills this gap by presenting scalable and accurate algorithms for inference in piecewise probabilistic graphical models. Our first contribution is to present a variation of Gibbs sampling algorithm that achieves an exponential sampling speedup on a large class of models (including Bayesian models with piecewise likelihood functions). As a second contribution, we show that for a large range of models, the time-consuming Gibbs sampling computations that are traditionally carried out per sample, can be computed symbolically, once and prior to the sampling process. Among many potential applications, the resulting symbolic Gibbs sampler can be used for fully automated reasoning in the presence of deterministic constraints among random variables. As a third contribution, we are motivated by the behavior of Hamiltonian dynamics in optics —in particular, the reflection and refraction of light on the refractive surfaces— to present a new Hamiltonian Monte Carlo method that demonstrates a significantly improved performance on piecewise models. Hopefully, the present work represents a step towards scalable and accurate inference in an important class of probabilistic models that has largely been overlooked in the literature.

description: We obtain explicit realizations of holographic renormalization group (RG) flows from M-theory, from E^{2,1} \times Spin(7) at UV to AdS_4 \times \tilde{S^7} (squashed S^7) at IR, from E^{2,1} \times CY4 at UV to AdS_4 \times Q^{1,1,1} at IR, and from E^{2,1} \times HK (hyperKahler) at UV to AdS_4 \times N^{0,1,0} at IR. The dual type IIA string theory configurations correspond to D2-D6 brane systems where D6 branes wrap supersymmetric four-cycles. We also study the Penrose limits and obtain the pp-wave backgrounds for the above configurations. Besides, we study some examples of non-supersymmetric and supersymmetric flows in five-dimensional gauge theories.

description: Recent works have shown that the spectroscopic access to highly-excited states provides enough information to characterize transition states in isomerization reactions. Here, we show that the transition state of the bond breaking HCN-HNC isomerization reaction can also be achieved with the two-dimensional limit of the algebraic vibron model. We describe the system's bending vibration with the algebraic Hamiltonian and use its classical limit to characterize the transition state. Using either the coherent state formalism or a recently proposed approach by Baraban et al. [ Science 2015 , 350 , 1338], we obtain an accurate description of the isomerization transition state. In addition, we show that the energy level dynamics and the transition state wave function structure indicate that the spectrum in the vicinity of the isomerization saddle point can be understood in terms of the formalism for excited state quantum phase transitions.
