description: We perform a new, detailed calculation of the hadronic contributions to the running electromagnetic coupling, $\barα$, defined on the Z particle (91 GeV). We find for the hadronic contribution, including radiative corrections, $$10^5\times \deltav_{\rm had.}α(M_Z^2)= 2740\pm12,$$ or, excluding the top quark contribution, $$10^5\times \deltav_{\rm had.}α^{(5)}(M_Z^2)= 2747\pm12.$$ Adding the pure QED corrections we get a value for the running electromagnetic coupling of $$\barα_{\rm Q.E.D.}(M_Z^2)= {{1}\over{128.965\pm0.017}}.$$

description: We here consider inner amenability from a geometric and group theoretical perspective. We prove that for every non-elementary action of a group $G$ on a finite dimensional irreducible CAT(0) cube complex, there is a nonempty $G$-invariant closed convex subset such that every conjugation invariant mean on $G$ gives full measure to the stabilizer of each point of this subset. Specializing our result to trees leads to a complete characterization of inner amenability for HNN-extensions and amalgamated free products. One novelty of the proof is that it makes use of the existence of certain idempotent conjugation-invariant means on $G$. We additionally obtain a complete characterization of inner amenability for permutational wreath product groups. One of the main ingredients used for this is a general lemma which we call the location lemma, which allows us to "locate" conjugation invariant means on a group $G$ relative to a given normal subgroup $N$ of $G$. We give several further applications of the location lemma beyond the aforementioned characterization of inner amenable wreath products.

description: GTPases regulate a wide range of cellular processes, such as intracellular vesicular transport, signal transduction and protein translation. These hydrolase enzymes operate as biochemical switches by toggling between an active guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-bound state and an inactive guanosine diphosphate (GDP)-bound state. We compare two network motifs, a single-species switch and an interlinked cascade that consists of two species coupled through positive and negative feedback loops. We find that interlinked cascades are closer to the ideal all-or-none switch and are more robust against fluctuating signals. While the single-species switch can only achieve bistability, interlinked cascades can be converted into oscillators by tuning the cofactor concentrations, which catalyse the activity of the cascade. These regimes can only be achieved with sufficient chemical driving provided by GTP hydrolysis. In this study, we present a thermodynamically consistent model that can achieve bistability and oscillations with the same feedback motif.

description: We present a hydrodynamic assessment of preliminary particle spectra observed in Au+Au collisions at \sqrt{s_{NN}}=200 GeV. The hadronic part of the underlying equation of state is based on explicit conservation of (measured) particle ratios throughout the resonance gas stage after chemical freezeout by employing chemical potentials for stable mesons, nucleons and anti-nucleons. We find that under these conditions the data (in particular the proton spectra) favor a low freeze-out temperature of around 100 MeV. Furthermore we show that through inclusion of a moderate pre-hydrodynamic transverse flow field the shape of the spectra improves with respect to the data. The effect of the initial transverse boost on elliptic flow and the freeze-out geometry of the system is also elucidated.

description: The biographical approach to the study of Chinese history is a particularly rewarding and at tractive one, especially in the field of history of thought, where the distinctive characteristics of individual thinkers, no matter how important they may be, are all too easily lost under hasty classifications and generalizations. The usefulness of the biographical approach in the study of Confucianism and the Chinese intellectual tradition was acknowledged by Professor Arthur F. Wright more than two decades ago. In his article "Values, Rules, and Personalities", he made the following observations: "What one says in abstractions about 'a tradition* finds its ultimate proof or disproof in the lives of men; the study of men's lives guards against the idolization of abstractions and at the same time calls attention to the rich texture of a life in time, the multiple forces that bear in upon it, and the vagaries of chance and choice that give it its final pattern." Certainly biographical study is an effective means of tracing the political and intellectual developments of certain periods, and the unfolding of facets of Chinese history which were often impelled by official-scholars of vision. It is also an economical means, as Professor Denis Twitchett points out, of exploring periods which at this stage of writing Chinese history provide little more than a chronological skeleton.- On the one hand, a rounded portrait of a personality and his thought in the context of his time and milieu may add new dimensions for understanding the subject and his times, and, on the other hand, a single biographical study may bring into focus the critical problems and the a tmosphere of an age, and thus help to close the gaps in our understanding of the Chinese tradition.

description: Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) is a class C G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) with both an extracellular ligand binding site and an allosteric intrahelical chamber located similarly to the orthosteric ligand binding site of Class A GPCRs. Ligands binding to this ancestral site of mGluR5 can act as positive (PAM), negative (NAM) or silent (SAM) allosteric modulators, and their medicinal chemistry optimization is notoriously difficult, as subtle structural changes may cause significant variation in activity and switch in the functional response. Here we present all atom molecular dynamics simulations of NAM, SAM and PAM complexes formed by closely related ligands and analyse the structural differences of the complexes. Several residues involved in the activation are identified and the formation of a continuous water channel in the active complex but not in the inactive ones is recognized. Our results suggest that the mechanism of mGluR5 activation is similar to that of class A GPCRs. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma
Management of student political activism in China : the Guomindang Policy, 1927-1945

subject: China Politics and government 1912-1949

description: This thesis is concerned with how the Guomindang (GMD) dealt with the issue of student political activism from the establishment of the Nanjing Government to the end of the Second Sino-Japanese War. Prior to its assumption of power in 1927, the GMD had allied with the Chinese Communist Party, and was officially committed to a policy of harnessing the political activism of students to assist in its campaigns to overpower the warlords and to unify China. The break up of the alliance and the purging of Chinese Communists from its rank and file did not put an immediate end to this policy of student political participation. Although some elements within the GMD were quick in wanting to move away from this course of action, others remained committed. As a result, in its initial years of power, a lively debate developed within the Party and the controversy centered on what to do with politicized student unions. The proclamation of a set of restrictive regulations on such unions in January 1930 signalled the end of the debate and the beginning of a student policy of depoliticization. Under the new laws, student unions were henceforth prohibited from adopting internal political structures, forging inter-school linkages and organizing political activities. Apart from these prohibitive laws, the GMD also undertook other measures such as the teaching of GMD ideology and policies in schools, the involvement of students in the New Life Movement, the cultivation of pro-GMD student cadres, and later the wartime expansion of party and youth corps branches into schools. However, these measures did not represent departures from the policy of depoliticization; rather they were integral parts of it. After all, depoliticization is a political act and one therefore needs to take into consideration the politics of depoliticization. All these measures had certain political dimensions, but they were not invitations for students to indulge in political activism. Instead, the GMD intended them as tools to check student radicalism and as politico-educational instruments to mould a new generation which would share the fflD's political outlook, including its wish for students to shun activism, and to concentrate on academic pursuits and self-cultivation.

description: The tidal disruption of a star by a supermassive black hole, and the subsequent accretion of the disrupted debris by that black hole, offers a direct means to study the inner regions of otherwise-quiescent galaxies. These tidal disruption events (TDEs) are being discovered at an ever-increasing rate. We present a model for the evolution of the tidally-disrupted debris from a partial TDE, in which a stellar core survives the initial tidal encounter and continues to exert a gravitational influence on the expanding stream of tidally-stripped debris. We use this model to show that the asymptotic fallback rate of material to the black hole in a partial TDE scales as $\propto t^{-2.26\pm0.01}$, and is effectively independent of the mass of the core that survives the encounter; we also estimate the rate at which TDEs approach this asymptotic scaling as a function of the core mass. These findings suggest that the late-time accretion rate onto a black hole from a TDE either declines as $t^{-5/3}$ if the star is completely disrupted or $t^{-9/4}$ if a core is left behind. We emphasize that previous investigations have not recovered this result due to the assumption of a Keplerian energy-period relationship for the debris orbits, which is no longer valid when a surviving core generates a time-dependent, gravitational potential. This dichotomy of fallback rates has important implications for the characteristic signatures of TDEs in the current era of wide-field surveys.

description: We propose an algorithm to obtain numerically approximate solutions of the direct Ising problem, that is, to compute the free energy and the equilibrium observables of spin systems with arbitrary two-spin interactions. To this purpose we use the Adaptive Cluster Expansion method, originally developed to solve the inverse Ising problem, that is, to infer the interactions from the equilibrium correlations. The method consists in iteratively constructing and selecting clusters of spins, computing their contributions to the free energy and discarding clusters whose contribution is lower than a fixed threshold. The properties of the cluster expansion and its performance are studied in detail on one dimensional, two dimensional, random and fully connected graphs with homogeneous or heterogeneous fields and couplings. We discuss the differences between different representations (Boolean and Ising) of the spin variables.

description: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection significantly increases the risk of tuberculosis (TB) infection, leading to heightened concerns regarding disease progression and mortality rates. HIV-infected individuals face a substantially elevated risk of reactivating latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and experiencing rapid disease progression post-infection or reinfection with TB. Extensive research underscores the synergistic impact of HIV on TB infection dynamics, with co-infected individuals facing an annual risk factor that may exceed 10%. While individuals infected with TB alone have a relatively lower lifetime risk of developing TB, the risk is substantially heightened in the context of HIV co-infection.

This paper delves into the complex interplay between HIV and TB infection, examining the mechanisms underlying the heightened susceptibility to TB among HIV-infected individuals. Drawing upon empirical evidence from studies by Bucker et al. (1999), Corbett et al. (2003), Vynnicky (1997), and Girardi (2000), it highlights the significant disparities in disease risk and progression between individuals with TB-only infection and those co-infected with HIV/TB.By elucidating the synergistic effects of HIV on TB infection dynamics, the paper aims to inform public health policies and interventions aimed at reducing the burden of TB among HIV-infected populations. It underscores the urgent need for integrated approaches to TB and HIV prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, as well as efforts to address underlying social determinants and structural barriers exacerbating the dual burden of disease.

description: We consider the Standard Model on a non-commutative space and expand the action in the non-commutativity parameter theta. No new particles are introduced, the structure group is SU(3) x SU(2) x U(1). We derive the leading order action. At zeroth order the action coincides with the ordinary Standard Model. At leading order in theta we find new vertices which are absent in the Standard Model on commutative space-time. The most striking features are couplings between quarks, gluons and electroweak bosons and many new vertices in the charged and neutral currents. We find that parity is violated in non-commutative QCD. The Higgs mechanism can be applied. QED is not deformed in the minimal version of the NCSM to the order considered.

This Lagrangian constitutes a key ingredient for understanding the non perturbative physics of 2 flavor color superconductivity. We estimate the two photon decay process of the light glueballs using the saturation of the electromagnetic trace anomaly at the effective Lagrangian level. The present results are particularly relevant to our model of Gamma Ray Bursts based on color superconductivity in Quark Stars (R. Ouyed and F. Sannino astro-ph/0103022).

This extends previous results by Carlen and Vershynina for the relative entropy and other standard $f$-divergences. To this end, we provide two new equivalent conditions for the equality case of the data processing inequality for the BS-entropy. Subsequently, we extend our result to a larger class of maximal $f$-divergences. Here, we first focus on quantum channels which are conditional expectations onto subalgebras and use the Stinespring dilation to lift our results to arbitrary quantum channels.

Australia's security relations with the United States, 1957-1963

description: This dissertation is an account of Australia's re-orientation of security thinking after the "cathartic experience" of the 1956 Suez crisis. It treats of the Australian Government's realistic assessment of the changed power relationships after Suez and its determination to maximise the security guarantee of its most powerful Western ally in the Pacific. The story reveals Australia's increasing reliance in defence matters on the United States, where she had .. ·· .. formerly strive·n to sati-sfy · her security ·needs by balancing her ties between Great Britain and the United States. It discloses how the Menzies Government consciously strove to make itself a politically indispensable ally to the United States. Judging the country' s . internal development needs to have priority, the Liberal Country Party coalition Government deliberately curtailed defence spending. Instead, it substituted foreign policy cooperation with the United States for supstantive contributions to the collective defence effort. This policy of the Menzies Government was successful in several respects. Externally Australia was able to secure firm American guarantees for Australian security interests and implicit support for most of her foreign policy goals. Internally the reliance on American strength allowed the Government to concentrate on development. Through a conscious policy of assiduously cultivating close personal contacts with American officials at all levels, the Menzies Government succeeded in building up a special relationship. The events of 1963 strengthened the bonds of goodwill between the two Governments. The last two chapters illustrate how that special relationship operated in Australian domestic politics to the advantage of the Menzies Government. The study ends in ·late 1963, the year which marks the end of " tokenism" in Australia's defence efforts. Methodology: The approach of this study has been to document Australia's increasing reliance on the United States for the satisfaction of her security needs. This dissertation thus seeks to continue works which treat Australia's search for regional security in earlier periods. Research has been based on conventional sources such as the various official publications of the two governments, the open literature in the field, as well as an extensive survey of newspapers and journals. Important insights were made possible by a series of confidential interviews with former Cabinet ministers, high-ranking Service personnel, and key civil servants. My promise that the names of the respondents to these interviews would be kept secret for at least 15 years created an atmosphere of trust. In this way, I gained access to information which fundamentally influenced my conclusions. It is important for future research that this trust be preserved.

description: We consider an expansion of the strongly interacting superfluid Fermi gas in a vacuum, assuming absence of the trapping potential, in the so-called unitary regime (see, for instance, \cite{pitaevskii2008superfluid}) when the chemical potential $μ\propto \hbar^2n^{2/3}/m$ where $n$ is the density of the Bose-Einstein condensate of Cooper pairs of fermionic atoms. In low temperatures, $T\to 0$, such expansion can be described in the framework of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE). Because of the chemical potential dependence on the density, $\sim n^{2/3}$, the GPE has additional symmetries, resulting in the existence of the virial theorem \cite% {vlasov1971averaged}, connecting the mean size of the gas cloud and its Hamiltonian. It leads asymptotically at $t\to\infty$ to the gas cloud expansion, linearly growing in time. We study such asymptotics, and reveal the perfect match between the quasi-classical self-similar solution and the asymptotic expansion of the non-interacting gas. This match is governed by the virial theorem, derived through utilizing the Talanov transformation \cite{talanov1970focusing}, which was first obtained for the stationary self-focusing of light in media with a cubic nonlinearity due to the Kerr effect. In the quasi-classical limit, the equations of motion coincide with 3D hydrodynamics for the perfect monoatomic gas with $γ=5/3$. Their self-similar solution describes, on the background of the gas expansion, the angular deformities of the gas shape in the framework of the Ermakov--Ray--Reid type system.

A study of the Prajñā-pāramitā-Ratna-Guņa-Saṃcaya-Gāthā
Creators: name: Yuyama, Akira
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1970
Subjects: subject: BQ1920.Y8

description: The Prajñā-pāramitā-Ratna-Guņa-Saṃcaya-Gāthā: {abbr. Rgs hereafter) has been somewhat neglected despite its philological and linguistic importance. One of the reasons for this was probably:the unavailability. of a critically edited Sanskrit text. The editio princeps by E. Obermiller was practically unobtainable untill 1960; when it was photo-mechanically reprinted. (see 'Bibl. Notes' ICl). Japanese scholars who were more interested in the Chinese sources,overlooked the importance of the Sanskrit text. The Chinese version is very corrupt (see 'Bibl. Notes' III).

description: Entropy production by the dilaton decay is studied in the model where the dilaton acquires potential via gaugino condensation in the hidden gauge group. Its effect on the Affleck-Dine baryogenesis is investigated with and without non-renormalizable terms in the potential. It is shown that the baryon asymmetry produced by this mechanism with the higher-dimensional terms is diluted by the dilaton decay and can be regulated to the observed value.

The united front doctrine and China's foreign policy
Creators: name: Armstrong, J. D.
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1975
Subjects: subject: Communism
subject: China Foreign relations
subject: China Politics and government

description: The thesis attempts to answer two questions: what has been the influence of the united front doctrine on China's foreign policy; in what ways, if any, has China's participation in the international system caused Peking to revise its conception of a united front in world politics? After the united front doctrine is considered in its historical context in Chapter One, Chapter Two sets out the methodology that is to be employed in the thesis. This consists essentially of a united front model' in which it is assumed that the united front doctrine actually does influence China's foreign policy. An 'alliance model' in the same chapter offers an alternative set of propositions about China's foreign policy. The remainder of the thesis examines China's actual behaviour in order to ascertain the extent to which it corresponds to either model. Chapter Three assesses the influence of the united front doctrine on China's 'general policy line'. It finds that the doctrine's influence was greatest during the 1958-1965 period but also that the doctrine has been changed to some extent since the Cultural Revolution. The last four chapters comprise case studies of China's relations with Indonesia, Pakistan, Cambodia and Tanzania. The object is to examine whether China's relations with any individual country may be understood in terms of the united front doctrine. None of the case studies yields wholly unambiguous results but Sino-Indonesian relations come closest to the 'united front model', while Sino-Pakistan relations fit most closely the 'alliance model'. The Cambodian case must be seen mainly in the context of developments in the rest of Indochina. The Tanzanian case study is included because Peking's publicly proclaimed policy for the whole of Africa in the early 1960's clearly reflected certain aspects of the united front doctrine. However, China's policy towards Tanzania also provides an unusual and interesting example of the 'adaptation' of ideology.

description: We consider general physical characteristics of doubly heavy baryons: the spectroscopy in the framework of potential approach and sum rules of QCD, mechanisms of production in various interactions on the basis of fragmentation model with account of preasymptotic corrections caused by higher twists over the transverse momentum of baryon, inclusive decays and lifetimes in the operator product expansion over the inverse powers of heavy quark masses as well as the exclusive decays in the sum rules of QCD. We generalize the methods developed in the effective theory of heavy quarks towards the description of systems with two heavy quarks and a single light quark. The calculations are presented for the masses, decay widths and yields of baryons with two heavy quarks in the running and planned experimental facilities. We discuss the prospects of search for the baryons and possibilities of experimental observation. The most bright physical effects concerning these baryons as well as their position in the system for the theoretical description of heavy quark dynamics are considered.

description: Title: The Freedom Paradox: Are We Created to Be Free?Author: Bouzidi Ahmed Djamal Den

Abstract:This paper explores the paradox of freedom, arguing that absolute freedom is an illusion and that true liberation is found in servitude to God. Through an interdisciplinary approach, it integrates Islamic theology, existentialist philosophy, and historical analysis to challenge modern conceptions of freedom. Drawing on the works of Ibn Taymiyyah, Jean-Paul Sartre, and contemporary critiques of capitalism and digital surveillance, this study demonstrates how the pursuit of unrestricted autonomy often leads to new forms of enslavement. By examining historical examples such as the French Revolution, the effects of modern capitalism, and the rise of digital control in social media, this research highlights that true freedom is achieved not through limitless choice but through fulfilling one’s divine purpose.

Contribution to Literature:This paper contributes to the existing literature by bridging philosophical, theological, and historical perspectives to analyze the concept of freedom. It offers a fresh perspective by incorporating Islamic theology alongside Western existentialist thought, providing a comparative analysis of how different worldviews define and approach the idea of freedom. By addressing the limitations of secular autonomy and demonstrating the paradox of human liberty, this study deepens the discourse on the nature of human servitude and divine will.

description: The end-point singularity is an unsolved problem in BBNS approach. Incorporating the partonic transverse momentum and the Sudakov form factor, this problem can be solved model-independently. We discuss the Sudakov effects in BBNS approach. The BBNS approach is compared with the modified PQCD approach. The main idea of Sudakov form factor is briefly discussed. Our conclusion is that the twist-3 contribution for the hard spectator scattering is numerically not important in $B\to ππ$ decays, compared with the twist-2 contribution.

The May 30 movement : an outline
Creators: name: Rigby, Richard
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1975
Subjects: subject: China History Republic, 1912-1949
subject: Shanghai (China) History

description: The roots of the disturbances leading to the May 30 incident are to be found in labour unrest in Japanese textile mills in Shanghai, and the introductory chapter attempts to explain this against the background of industrial growth and the beginnings of trade unionism, accompanied by the development of the C.C.P. and its alliance with the K.M.T. A further significant factor discussed was China's failure to improve her international position following W.W.I., a failure particularly apparent to Chinese living or working in Shanghai's International Settlement. The thesis then shows the rise of a mass movement in Shanghai following the shooting on May 30» and traces its gradual decline after the breakup of the united front of workers, businessmen and students. An attempt is made to evaluate the roles of the main political groups involved. Chapter three looks at events elsewhere in China. The form the movement took in each place varied according to local conditions. The Peking government tried to profit by the movement, but also felt endangered by it, and played a contradictory role, to the dissatisfaction of patriots and foreigners. Disagreements between warlords and amongst the foreign Powers further ensured that negotiations failed to reach any satisfactory conclusion, although the Judicial Enquiry produced some significant evidence. The following two chapters examine the varied responses of different groups of Chinese and foreigners, paying particular attention to the ideas and opinions of the C.C.P. and the British, especially the Foreign Office, as being the major protagonists involved. The final chapter looks at the two most out.standing results of the movement, the growth of organized labour and of the C.C.P., both closely linked, and the suggestion is made that the great success of the latter may account for the differing emphasis placed on the movement by C.C.P. and K.M.T. historians. Subsequent events which indicated that the Powers, especially Britain, had adopted a new stance following May 30, are sketched in, and by way of conclusion the major developments arising out of the movement, which gave it its significance, are recapitulated. Taken together, they show that in the May 30 movement the Chinese entered a new stage in their fight for sovereignty and equality, and a new social order.
Fundamental differences in the radio properties of red and blue quasars: evolution strongly favoured over orientation

description: A minority of the optically selected quasar population are red at optical wavelengths due to the presence of dust along the line-of-sight. A key focus of many red quasar studies is to understand their relationship with the overall quasar population: are they blue quasars observed at a (slight) inclination angle or do they represent a transitional phase in the evolution of quasars? Identifying fundamental differences between red and blue quasars is key to discriminate between these two paradigms. To robustly explore this, we have uniformly selected quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey with mid-infrared counterparts, carefully controlling for luminosity and redshift effects. We take a novel approach to distinguish between colour-selected quasars in the redshift range of $0.2 < z < 2.4$ by constructing redshift-sensitive $g^* - i^*$ colour cuts. From cross-matching this sample to the Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty-centimeters (FIRST) survey, we have found a factor $\approx$ 3 larger fraction of radio-detected red quasars with respect to that of blue quasars. Through a visual inspection of the FIRST images and an assessment of the radio luminosities (rest-frame ${L_{\rm 1.4~GHz}}$ and ${L_{\rm 1.4~GHz}}/{L_{\rm 6μm}}$) we find that the radio-detection excess for red quasars is primarily due to compact and radio-faint systems (around the radio quiet--radio loud threshold). We show that our results rule out orientation as the origin for the differences between red and blue quasars and argue that they provide broad agreement with an evolutionary model.
