description: This paper provides estimates of consumers willingness to pay for two new sheep milk cheeses, developed as part of a RIRDC research project. In 1998, following an in-store tasting, a sample of 215 consumers were asked to reveal what price they would be willing to pay for portions of the cheese. Analysis of the data reveals the probability that a consumer will purchase the product, as prices change. There are higher levels of acceptance of the soft cheese product as compared with the hard cheese, and higher prices paid (per kilo) for smaller portions. It is shown that the structure of the price revelation process in the survey has also influenced the results.

description: We study the production of a J/psi meson in association with one or two jets in gamma gamma collisions concentrating on the direct-photon contribution, which is expected to be dominant for large J/psi-meson transverse momentum and/or large dijet invariant mass. We work at leading order in the factorization formalism of nonrelativistic QCD and include all relevant colour-octet processes. We present distributions in J/psi-meson transverse momentum and rapidity appropriate for CERN LEP2, a future e^+e^- linear collider, and a possible gamma gamma collider mode of the latter. In the case of the e^+e^- linear collider, we assume the beamstrahlung spectrum appropriate for DESY TESLA.

Quadrupole moments in the lead isotopes
Creators: name: Joye, André Marthe Roger
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1977
Subjects: subject: Quadrupole moments
subject: Lead Isotopes

description: The static quadrupole moments QJπ and reduced excitation probabilities (BEλ) of the first excited states of the nuclei ²⁰⁴Pb, ²⁰⁸Pb, and ²⁰⁸Pb have been determined using the reorientation effect in Coulomb excitation. The Coulomb excitation probabilities were measured by resolving inelastically and elastically backward-scattered ⁴He, ¹²C, and ¹⁶O projectiles in an annular surface barrier detector. In the case of 204Pb and ²⁰⁸Pb, safe bombarding energies were determined for all projectiles. In the case of ²⁰⁸Pb, safe bombarding energies were measured for 180, but were assumed for ⁴He. The small values obtained for Q₂+ indicate that ²⁰⁴Pb is only weakly deformed, and that ²⁰⁶Pb approaches sphericity. The measured value of Q₃_ for ²⁰⁸Pb is much smaller in magnitude than those obtained in previous measurements, and is consistent with most theoretical predictions.

description: In this paper we use Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to estimate technical efficiency for a sample of 1742 Australian dairy farms. Bearing in mind data limitations we find that average technical efficiency is 59 per cent, but there are significant regional differences. These results reflect differences in State level milk marketing arrangements in place before dairy deregulation in July 2000 providing an ex post explanation for the changing composition of dairy farms in Australia. We also examine two important technical aspects of DEA implementation. First, how changes in model input specification alter the relative performance of farms. Second, we employ a simple bootstrap procedure to show how changes in sample size affects estimates of technical efficiency. These results have simple but important implications for the use of DEA as an industry-benchmarking tool.

description: Persistence diagrams, an important summary in topological data analysis, consist of a set of ordered pairs, each with positive multiplicity. Persistence diagrams are obtained via Mobius inversion and may be compared using a one-parameter family of metrics called Wasserstein distances. In certain cases, Mobius inversion produces sets of ordered pairs which may have negative multiplicity. We call these virtual persistence diagrams. Divol and Lacombe recently showed that there is a Wasserstein distance for Radon measures on the half plane of ordered pairs that generalizes both the Wasserstein distance for persistence diagrams and the classical Wasserstein distance from optimal transport theory. Following this work, we define compatible Wasserstein distances for persistence diagrams and Radon measures on arbitrary metric spaces. We show that the 1-Wasserstein distance extends to virtual persistence diagrams and to signed measures. In addition, we characterize the Cauchy completion of persistence diagrams with respect to the Wasserstein distances. We also give a universal construction of a Banach space with a 1-Wasserstein norm. Persistence diagrams with the 1-Wasserstein distance isometrically embed into this Banach space.

The intercropping of smallholder coconuts in Western Samoa : an analysis using multi-stage linear programming
Creators: name: Burgess, Richard John
Publisher: name: Canberra, ACT : The Australian National University
Year: 1977
Subjects: subject: Coconut Samoa

description: The village agricultural sector of Western Samoa holds a key position in the country's economy, commanding the majority of the productive resources and providing a large proportion of export earnings. Present trends however show declining export earnings and an exodus of younger males from village agriculture into wage employment in Apia and through migration to New Zealand. Trends are seen to reflect declining returns per manday in traditional production systems. A modern systematic intercropping system is investigated as to its technical and economic feasibility as a means of providing rural family cash income requirements in competition with alternative sources. The technical basis of intercropping is established prior to detailing individual crop yield, price and input parameters. Cash flows obtained were compared on returns to labour. To obtain an optimal combination of coconuts and intercrops from an economic standpoint, alternative programming techniques were considered and multi-stage linear programming adopted. This permitted adequate modelling of the intercropping system's inter-relationships and optimisation of the system over the life-cycle of the coconut stand. The model maximised the present value of cash surpluses, which represented the return to labour. It allowed a portion of family labour to be allocated competitively between wage and on-farm employment. Financing of the cash deficits during perennial crop establishment was through loans or cash transfers. Medium to high planting densities for coconut were optimal for the intercropping system adopted. Pineapple and cocoa were the dominant intercrops. An increasing portion of family labour in wage employment was drawn on for land resource increments above four hectares up to full utilisation at approximately eight hectares. Higher rates of time preference reduced the total area established. Cash surpluses above a basic family living requirement barely met the level obtainable in alternative employment in the first half of the coconut life cycle but were substantially higher thereafter. Attention needs to be directed to the present non-intercropping phase to improve the economic attractiveness of the system. Further analysis is required of shorter segments of the system to establish within-period cash flow financing requirements. The intercropping system is regarded as capable of making a valuable contribution to rural family livelihood and of having a substantial impact on the overall economy.
A Link Between the Multiplicative and Additive Functional Asplund's Metrics

description: Functional Asplund's metrics were recently introduced to perform pattern matching robust to lighting changes thanks to double-sided probing in the Logarithmic Image Processing (LIP) framework. Two metrics were defined, namely the LIP-multiplicative Asplund's metric which is robust to variations of object thickness (or opacity) and the LIP-additive Asplund's metric which is robust to variations of camera exposure-time (or light intensity). Maps of distances-i.e. maps of these metric values-were also computed between a reference template and an image. Recently, it was proven that the map of LIP-multiplicative As-plund's distances corresponds to mathematical morphology operations. In this paper, the link between both metrics and between their corresponding distance maps will be demonstrated. It will be shown that the map of LIP-additive Asplund's distances of an image can be computed from the map of the LIP-multiplicative Asplund's distance of a transform of this image and vice-versa. Both maps will be related by the LIP isomorphism which will allow to pass from the image space of the LIP-additive distance map to the positive real function space of the LIP-multiplicative distance map. Experiments will illustrate this relation and the robustness of the LIP-additive Asplund's metric to lighting changes.

Schooling and society in late Qing China

Subjects: subject: Education HistoryChina
subject: Educational sociology China

description: In the years 1901-1905 a school system modelled on those of Japan and Europe was introduced in China, after much debate, by a government anxious to use education to strengthen the country internally against the foreign threat. Contradictions unforeseen by its sponsors arose between the new system and the society to which it was introduced. Deep-rooted indigenous educational institutions, especially the sishu or traditional private school, showed surprising powers of resilience. The new schooling was intended to be universal but did not reach the masses, who merely provided the money for the new schools through taxes. Instead, it retained the elite associations of its predecessors. Access to the elite was altered by the predominantly urban location of the new schools, which demanded a level of professional expertise and material equipment unknown to the old. Urban gentry and business families were able to use the schools as a vehicle for social mobility; in addition, the foundation of schools afforded immediate advantage in terms of finance and prestige for the men who operated them. Confidence gained through school management fuelled demands for self government among the gentry, while the visible ineffectiveness of attempted centralization brought out the weakness of the government. Where the old schooling had been flexible and, at the upper levels, had made the student responsible for his own progress (I use 'his' deliberately, since both the old and the new schooling made little provision for women), the new imposed unfamiliar standards of punctuality, uniformity and external direction by impersonal rules. Much of the turbulence of late Qing schools can be traced back to the clash between their rigid discipline, derived from the demands of modern industrial society, and the mores of the society in which they were set. As with calls by the gentry for greater autonomy vis-a-vis the government, the dissatisfaction of students and staff was frequently expressed in political language acquired from the West. A significant minority espoused revolution. The system of schooling in force under the Qing and the Republican government was more a divisive than a unifying force: it marked off its beneficiaries from the mass of the population. It was not until the establishment of the People's Republic that a beginning was made in extending an understanding and acceptance of the concepts, values, and habits of modern industrial society to the mass of people, and to resolving the contradiction between 'foreign' and 'Chinese'.

description: Considering the recent breakthroughs in the synthesis of novel two-dimensional (2D) materials from layered bulk structures, ternary layered transition metal borides, known as MAB phases, have come under scrutiny as a means of obtaining novel 2D transition metal borides, so-called MBene. Here, based on a set of phonon calculations, we show the dynamic stability of many Al-containing MAB phases, MAlB (M = Ti, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, W, Mn, Tc), M$_2$AlB$_2$ (Sc, Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Cr, Mo, W, Mn, Tc, Fe, Rh, Ni), M$_3$Al$_2$B$_2$ (M = Sc, T, Zr, Hf, Cr, Mn, Tc, Fe, Ru, Ni), M$_3$AlB$_4$ (M = Sc, Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, W, Mn, Fe), and M$_4$AlB$_6$ (M = Sc, Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo). By comparing the formation energies of these MAB phases with those of their available competing binary M$-$B and M$-$Al, and ternary M$-$Al$-$B phases, we find that some of the Sc-, Ti-, V-, Cr-, Mo-, W-, Mn-, Tc-, and Fe-based MAB phases could be favorably synthesized in an appropriate experimental condition. In addition, by examining the strengths of various bonds in MAB phases via crystal orbital Hamilton population and spring constant calculations, we find that the B$-$B and then M$-$B bonds are stiffer than the M$-$Al and Al$-$B bonds. The different strength between these bonds implies the etching possibility of Al atoms from MAB phases, consequently forming various 2D MB, M$_2$B$_3$, and M$_3$B$_4$ MBenes. Furthermore, we employ the nudged elastic band method to investigate the possibility of the structural phase transformation of the 2D MB MBenes into graphene-like boron sheets sandwiched between transition metals and find that the energy barrier of the transformation is less than $0.4$ eV/atom.

Examples of filtrations of closure spaces include metric spaces, weighted graphs, weighted directed graphs, and filtrations of topological spaces. We use various products and intervals for closure spaces to obtain six homotopy theories, six cubical singular homology theories, and three simplicial singular homology theories. Applied to filtrations of closure spaces, these homology theories produce persistence modules. We extend the definition of Gromov-Hausdorff distance from metric spaces to filtrations of closure spaces and use it to prove that any persistence module obtained from a homotopy-invariant functor on closure spaces is stable.

description: Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is known to play an important role in superconductor/ferromagnet heterostructures. Here we demonstrate that SOC results in the spontaneous generation of vortices in an \textit{s}-wave superconductor placed below a ferromagnetic metal with intrinsic or interfacial SOC. By using the generalized London and Ginzburg-Landau theories, we calculate the supercurrent amplitude in various types of S/F heterostructures at and below the superconducting critical temperature. In particular, we show that even in the limit of weak SOC, vortex-antivortex pairs are stabilized and that an attractive interaction between vortices and SOC act to pin vortices along the S/F interface. We discuss key experiments to investigate these phenomena, which would provide a platform to the creation of Abrikosov vortex memory.

Optical and ion energy spectroscopy of laser-produced plasmas

Subjects: subject: High temperature plasmas

subject: Plasma spectroscopy

description: The work described in this thesis relates to the problem of observing population inversions in laserproduced plasmas, and to the associated problem of interpreting optically thick line intensities. In Part I we examine the conditions under which population inversions appropriate to soft X-ray transitions can occur in rapidly recombining plasmas, with particular reference to hydrogen-like transitions in a laser-produced carbon plasma. Computations have been performed for quasisteady state inversions between excited states of hydrogenlike ions, as well as for inversions with respect to the ground state. The effect of Lyman a self-absorption in reducing population inversions between quantum states n = 2 and 3 is examined in some detail. The emergent intensities of optically thick lines from an expanding plasma, such as a laser-produced plasma, are affected by the differential Doppler effect associated with ion streaming. As a first step in investigating this effect we have measured (in Part II) the velocity spectra of the streaming ions. A plasma was produced by focusing the pulse (4 ns duration) from a Neodymium laser onto a carbon target (power density in the range 3 x 10¹⁵ to 1.3 x 10¹⁶ Wm⁻² ) in vacuum. A 45° parallel plate electrostatic analyzer was built to record the energy spectra of the streaming ions. Space charge effects within the analyzer are examined quantitatively. Ion velocity spectra, deduced from the energy spectra and covering the range 1-5 x 10⁵ ms⁻¹ , are reported for C³⁺ , C⁴⁺ , C⁵⁺ and C⁶⁺ . The role of recombination in forming these spectra is discussed.

description: Growers in the sugar cane industry have been struggling under financial pressure for several years. Sugar prices have been low while costs of production continue to rise. In addition, adverse weather conditions and pest damage have exacerbated the situation. The future viability of the sugar industry has been questioned in several major reports and it is generally agreed that the industry will have to undergo some changes. This paper reports the findings of a recent survey of growers in three regions of central Queensland designed to assess how growers view profitability and restructuring prospects, and to identify the extent to which growers are attempting to achieve productivity gains.

description: The unique and somewhat problematic challenges of marketing fresh fruits and vegetables have received attention from a variety of perspectives in recent years. The role that price plays for consumer purchases of them is complex, and will depend on the buyer, product and situation. This article discusses the dimensions of individual product differences in terms of amount spent, whether purchased as a treat and whether the products are seasonal. These differences and their implications for buyer’s attention to price are investigated. The major implication arising from this research is that increased sales of fresh fruits and vegetables are likely to be achieved by keeping the price as low as possible for products for which buyer attention to price is high, that is, products that are treats and seasonal. Further, retailer profitability will be optimised if, in conjunction with the previous suggestion, higher gross margins are included for products where buyer attention to price is low, that is, staples and non-seasonal products.
Latent variable models for multivariate dyadic data with zero inflation: Analysis of intergenerational exchanges of family support

description: Understanding the help and support that is exchanged between family members of different generations is of increasing importance, with research questions in sociology and social policy focusing on both predictors of the levels of help given and received, and on reciprocity between them. We propose general latent variable models for analysing such data, when helping tendencies in each direction are measured by multiple binary indicators of specific types of help. The model combines two continuous latent variables, which represent the helping tendencies, with two binary latent class variables which allow for high proportions of responses where no help of any kind is given or received. This defines a multivariate version of a zero inflation model. The main part of the models is estimated using MCMC methods, with a bespoke data augmentation algorithm. We apply the models to analyse exchanges of help between adult individuals and their non-coresident parents, using survey data from the UK Household Longitudinal Study.

Access to urban housing in Peninsular Malaysia : social and spatial distortions in a peripheral economy
Creators: name: Johnstone, Michael A
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1979
Subjects: subject: Housing Malaysia

description: This study is concerned with examining the origin and development of the social and spatial inequalities in the provision of urban housing in Peninsular Malaysia. This is done within a theoretical framework which stresses the need to understand the forces that have moulded the Malaysian space economy. Conventional housing provision is analysed using data on the activities of private development firms, which like other modern capitalist activity, are spatially and structurally concentrated. i The conventional sector builds mainly high cost dwellings which the urban poor cannot afford and, despite an increasing quantity of cheaper accommodation provided by the public sector, the bulk of the poor search for alternatives in the unconventional sector. Unconventional housing, built outside the formal regulation and standards of the modern sector, is found in most Malaysian cities, where it has evolved since the early 1900s. Despite the importance of unconventional housing in many cities, government policy has been concerned with its clearance and eradication and has been based on a misunderstanding of the processes inherent in the development of these shelter types. The third part of the study examines in detail the construction and acquisition of squatter dwellings and the manner in which low income families accumulate capital which is invested in the development and improvement of such housing. Although squatter settlements do permit such activities to occur, they are not a vehicle for socio-economic mobility for all low income households because of the constraints of the urban political economy.

description: In this paper, we construct the cut-and-join operator description for the generating functions of all intersection numbers of $ψ$, $κ$, and $Θ$ classes on the moduli spaces $\overline{\mathcal M}_{g,n}$. The cut-and-join operators define an algebraic version of topological recursion. This recursion allows us to compute all these intersection numbers recursively. For the specific values of parameters, the generating functions describe the volumes of moduli spaces of (super) hyperbolic Riemann surfaces with geodesic boundaries, which are also related to the Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) (super)gravity.

description: Magnetotransport in a laterally confined two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) can exhibit modified scattering channels owing to a tilted Hall potential. Transitions of electrons between Landau levels with shifted guiding centers can be accomplished through a Zener tunneling mechanism, and make a significant contribution to the magnetoresistance. A remarkable oscillation effect in weak field magnetoresistance has been observed in high-mobility 2DEGs in GaAs-AlGa$_{0.3}$As$_{0.7}$ heterostructures, and can be well explained by the Zener mechanism.

Coconut production in Southern Tagalog, Philippines : a case study approach of measures of relative economic efficiency
Creators: name: Alonzo, Leonida S.
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1979
Subjects: subject: Coconut industry Philippines

description: The relevance of the Philippine coconut industry is highlighted by the shifting emphasis on the pattern of farm production, introducing innovative cultivation techniques of intercropping among subsistence farms coupled with the growing belief that small farms are relatively more economic-efficient than large farms. While the industry has remained as a major dollar earner and has significant importance in the agricultural landscape, it is basically characterized by relatively low levels of production. This study, therefore, investigates the relative economic efficiency of coconut farms in the Philippines particularly the Southern Tagalog region. It uses cross-sectional data of 308 sample farms with the reference period of one year, 1973-1974. These data have been provided by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics (Philippines). The relative economic efficiency of the coconut farms is determined by the Lau-Yotopoulos profit function with implicit Cobb-Douglas production function. Within the limits of available data, measurement of the farms' relative economic efficiency concentrates on only two categories namely, farm type and farm size. Following the chosen functional model and the categories mentioned, the relative economic efficiency of the farms are mathematically measured and analyzed through a regression model which includes five (5) variables, the coefficients of which are estimated by the least squares profit function in logarithmic form. The results, though tentative, are generally consistent and statistically reliable. As expected, the empirical evidence favours the small farms as relatively more economic-efficient than large farms, In particular, small mixed coconut farms in Laguna-Batangas provinces are observed to be more economic-efficient compared to others. The achieved results, however, do not suffice to draw conclusions as to where the superior economic efficiency of small farms rests. Hence, the study merits further studies attendant to this query.

description: We review recent suggestions for testing through B decays the flavor structure of CP violation in the Standard Model. Relative signs of CP asymmetries in U-spin related processes can by themselves test the Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism in a crude manner. Ratios of charge-averaged decay rates and certain CP asymmetries may constrain tightly the weak phases $γ=ϕ_3$ and $α=ϕ_2$.

description: In New Zealand, the Animal Products Act (1999) required all animal product processing businesses to have a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) based Risk Management Program (RMP) by the end of 2002. The purpose of the Act is to manage food safety risks and to facilitate overseas market access. However the new regulation will potentially bring costs to businesses. This paper attempts to measure the effects of RMP requirements on the variable cost of production of the New Zealand seafood industry. Using the framework developed by Antle (2000), a cost function is estimated using census of production data from 1929 to 1998. Results show that variable costs could increase from 2 percent to 22 percent or from 2 cents to 19 cents per kilogram.
