description: We introduce analytical expressions for a pseudo fully analytical elliptical projected Navarro, Frenk & White (NFW) mass profile to be used in lensing equations. We propose a formalism that incorporates the ellipticity into the expression for the lens potential, producing a pseudo-elliptical mass distribution. This approach can be implemented to any circular mass profile for which the projected mass profile Sigma(r) and the deflection angle profile alpha(r) both have analytical expressions; however the potential does not necessarily need to take an analytical form. We apply this new formalism to the NFW mass distribution and study how well this pseudo-elliptical NFW model describes an elliptical mass distribution. We conclude that the pseudo-elliptical NFW model is a good description of elliptical mass distributions provided that the ellipticity of the projected mass distribution is

Methodists and the social conscience in South Australia and New South Wales, 1949-1972
Creators: name: Barreira, C. Paul
Publisher: name: The Australian National University

description: Along with Protestant Churchmen of other denominations throughout the Western world in the 1960s, many Australian Methodists felt obliged to re-assess the nature and place of the Christian Church in an increasingly affluent, liberal and secular society. From the mid-1940s to the 1960s consistently fewer Methodists could respond affirmatively to the question put shortly after World War Two by the Director of the South Australian Methodist Church's Department of Social Service, the Reverend E.H. Woollacott: 'Are we dedicated to the task of making society conform 2 to the will of God'? Woollacott perceived the 'will of God' in terms of the Nonconformist conscience which in Woollacott's day was the cornerstone of the Methodists' thinking and activity on social questions. From at least the 1880s the political and social questions which interested Australian Nonconformity 'were generally those which had plain moral implications'. After 1945 restrictive social legislation such as six o'clock closing was under threat as many more prosperous Australians rejected the ascetic legacy of late nineteenth century Protestantism. Numerous Methodists, too, rejected the Nonconformist conscience and eventually even the institutional Methodist Church rejected Woollacott's call. In 1966, when the Church had lost sight of Woollacott's question and the terms in which it was framed, the Reverend John Barrett confessed on behalf of the Annual Conference of the South Australian Church that 'we are often the Church that does not know what to say'…

description: Crashworthiness assessments in the United States (U.S.) and the European Union (EU) include a large number of safety regulations and consumer testing programs. However, safety standards and testing procedures differ between the two regions. Not much research has been done in relation to this topic, because it has always been assumed that the accident environments in the U.S. and EU are not comparable. The objective of this study is to compare how vehicle occupants are severely injured in motor vehicle collisions in the U.S. and the EU by applying unsupervised learning to accident data. A new methodology to identify clusters of seriously injured occupants in NASS-CDS was proposed by the authors in previous research. The current study goes one step further and uses the clusters to compare the injury patterns at the Maximum Abbreviated Injury Scale (MAIS) 3+ level of passenger vehicle occupants in the U.S. and German accident environments. The clustering model developed with NASS-CDS data is applied in this study to German In-Depth Accident Study (GIDAS) data. A machine learning algorithm automatically assigned each GIDAS case to its most similar NASS-CDS cluster controlling for nine different parameters. Those included the injury severity at the body region level, biomechanical characteristics of the occupants, and technical severity of the crash. Differences and analogies between GIDAS and NASS-CDS data within clusters of seriously injured occupants are highlighted. One of the clusters groups the collisions with the greatest mass incompatibility in NASS-CDS and GIDAS data. The injury patterns in the clusters that include elderly people match significantly between the U.S. and German data sets. The lack of younger population and elevated body mass index (BMI) values in the GIDAS sample make the injury patterns within these population groups less comparable than in the other clusters. Remarkably similar injury patterns at the MAIS 3+ level have been found in U.S. and German accident data sets after controlling for nine different parameters. This research provides evidence to indicate that how belted vehicle occupants are severely injured in the U.S. and in the EU is not necessarily different.

description: Parametric down-conversion can produce photons that are entangled both in polarization and in space. Here we show how the spatial entanglement can be used to purify the polarization entanglement using only linear optical elements. Spatial entanglement as an additional resource leads to a substantial improvement in entanglement output compared to a previous scheme. Interestingly, in the present context the thermal character of down-conversion sources can be turned into an advantage. Our scheme is realizable with current technology.

description: Pixel lensing is a technique used to search for baryonic components of dark matter (MACHOs) and allows to detect microlensing events even when the target galaxies are not resolved into individual stars. Potentially, it has the advantage to provide higher statistics than other methods but, unfortunately, traditional approaches to pixel lensing are very demanding in terms of computing time. We present the new, user friendly, tool MEDEA (Microlensing Experiment Data-Analysis Software for Events with Amplification). The package can be used either in a fully automatic or in a semi-automatic mode and can perform an on-line identification of events by means of a two levels trigger and a quasi-on-line data analysis. The package will find application in the exploration of large databases as well as in the exploitation of specifically tailored future surveys.

description: Phase reference calibration is a necessary procedure in practical continuous-variable measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (CV-MDI-QKD) for the need of Bell-State Measurement (BSM). However, the phase reference calibration may become imperfect in practical applications. We explored the practical security of CV-MDI-QKD with imperfect phase reference calibration under realistic conditions of lossy and noisy quantum channel. Specifically, a comprehensive framework is developed to model and characterize the imperfection of practical phase reference calibration operation, which is mainly caused by the non-synchronization of two remote lasers in senders. Security analysis shows that the imperfect phase reference calibration has significant side effects on the performance and security of the CV-MDI-QKD protocol. A tight security bound to excess noise introduced by imperfect phase reference calibration is derived for reverse reconciliation against arbitrary collective attacks in the asymptotic limit, and the tolerance of the CV-MDI-QKD protocol to this excess noise is also obtained. This security analysis framework can eliminate the security hazards caused by imperfect phase reference calibration without changing the existing CV-MDI-QKD system structure.

Higgs-inspired corrections to the RG flow in the finite-temperature 3D Georgi-Glashow model and its SU(N)-generalization

description: The Berezinsky-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) RG flow in the ensemble of monopoles existing in the finite-temperature (2+1)D Georgi-Glashow model is explored in the regime when the Higgs field is not infinitely heavy, but its mass is rather of the same order of magnitude as the mass of the W-boson. The corrections to the standard RG flow are derived to the leading order in the inverse mass of the Higgs boson. According to the obtained RG equations, the scaling of the free-energy density in the critical region and the value of the critical temperature of the phase transition are found to be unaffected by the finiteness of the Higgs-boson mass. The evolution of the Higgs mass itself is also investigated and shown to be rather weak, that enables one to treat this parameter as a constant. The same analysis is further performed in the SU(N)-case at N>2, where the RG invariance is demonstrated to hold only approximately, in a certain sense. Modulo this approximation, the critical behaviour of the SU(N)-model turns out to be identical to that of the SU(2)-one.

description: We develop an approach where the quantum system states and quantum observables are described as in classical statistical mechanics -- the states are identified with probability distributions and observables, with random variables. An example of the spin-1/2 state is considered. We show that the triada of Malevich's squares can be used to illustrate the qubit state. We formulate the superposition principle of quantum states in terms of probabilities determining the quantum states. New formulas for nonlinear addition rules of probabilities providing the probabilities associated with the interference of quantum states are obtained. The evolution equation for quantum states is given in the form of a kinetic equation for the probability distribution identified with the state.

description: Determining biomarkers for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is crucial to understanding its mechanisms. Recently deep learning methods have achieved success in the classification task of ASD using fMRI data. However, due to the black-box nature of most deep learning models, it's hard to perform biomarker selection and interpret model decisions. The recently proposed invertible networks can accurately reconstruct the input from its output, and have the potential to unravel the black-box representation. Therefore, we propose a novel method to classify ASD and identify biomarkers for ASD using the connectivity matrix calculated from fMRI as the input. Specifically, with invertible networks, we explicitly determine the decision boundary and the projection of data points onto the boundary. Like linear classifiers, the difference between a point and its projection onto the decision boundary can be viewed as the explanation. We then define the importance as the explanation weighted by the gradient of prediction $w.r.t$ the input, and identify biomarkers based on this importance measure. We perform a regression task to further validate our biomarker selection: compared to using all edges in the connectivity matrix, using the top 10\% important edges we generate a lower regression error on 6 different severity scores. Our experiments show that the invertible network is both effective at ASD classification and interpretable, allowing for discovery of reliable biomarkers.

description: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of chin-to-chest contact on upper neck axial force in United Nations (UN) Regulation No. 129 frontal impact tests of child restraint systems. Frontal impact pilot experiments were carried out according to the test procedure in UN Regulation No. 129. Q-Series child dummies were seated in a small convenience sample of forward-facing child restraint systems. The timing and duration of chin-to-chest contact were determined using the procedure for calculating external head impact force in SAE J2052. Chin-to-chest contact was observed in all of our experiments and generated a tensile peak in the upper neck axial force of the Q-Series dummies. Prior to chin-to-chest contact, a purely inertial, noncontact peak was observed in the axial tension force. The tensile peak due to chin-to-chest contact was often greater than the inertial, noncontact peak force. Chin-to-chest contact can increase axial neck tension force beyond the level it would reach under purely inertial loading. Adopting upper neck axial force in regulation, without considering how the force is generated, might encourage child restraint designs that mitigate only chin-to-chest contact, rather than the true inertial neck loading.
The value of children : perceptions of Fijian form six students in Fiji's Central Division

description: The survey conducted in February, 1987 obtained data on the perceptions of the value of children amongst 351 Form Six students of six moderately sized and predominantly indigenous Fijian secondary schools in the Central Division of Fiji. underlying The study attempts to explain the motivations underlying the existing high fertility level amongst the indigeneous Fijians in Fiji. It was found that although most females wanted a smaller family size than their male counterparts, all respondents indicated the importance of economic benefits of children particularly old age old age support and the traditional benefits from children which are the props for the perpetuation of high fertility. Most respondents also recognised the financial cost as a major disvalue in having children. It was also found that there was widespread knowledge of the existence of the different methods of contraception and positive attitudes towards the concept of family planning particularly amongst females and rural students. Although knowledge of contraception was not of great depth, most students favoured the use of contraception to prevent having more children. On the basis of the findings of this study it was concluded that until there were changes in the motivations, particularly the reliance on children for old age support, the high fertility level will persist in Fiji. Furthermore there is a need to address the misconceptions, misinformation and ignorance of the young people in Fiji regarding the effectiveness of the different contraceptive methods and also the mechanics of conception.

description: The photo-response non-uniformity (PRNU) is a distinctive image sensor characteristic, and an imaging device inadvertently introduces its sensor's PRNU into all media it captures. Therefore, the PRNU can be regarded as a camera fingerprint and used for source attribution. The imaging pipeline in a camera, however, involves various processing steps that are detrimental to PRNU estimation. In the context of photographic images, these challenges are successfully addressed and the method for estimating a sensor's PRNU pattern is well established. However, various additional challenges related to generation of videos remain largely untackled. With this perspective, this work introduces methods to mitigate disruptive effects of widely deployed H.264 and H.265 video compression standards on PRNU estimation. Our approach involves an intervention in the decoding process to eliminate a filtering procedure applied at the decoder to reduce blockiness. It also utilizes decoding parameters to develop a weighting scheme and adjust the contribution of video frames at the macroblock level to PRNU estimation process. Results obtained on videos captured by 28 cameras show that our approach increases the PRNU matching metric up to more than five times over the conventional estimation method tailored for photos.

description: We report the first observation of the Quantum Zeno and Anti-Zeno effects in an unstable system. Cold sodium atoms are trapped in a far-detuned standing wave of light that is accelerated for a controlled duration. For a large acceleration the atoms can escape the trapping potential via tunneling. Initially the number of trapped atoms shows strong non-exponential decay features, evolving into the characteristic exponential decay behavior. We repeatedly measure the number of atoms remaining trapped during the initial period of non-exponential decay. Depending on the frequency of measurements we observe a decay that is suppressed or enhanced as compared to the unperturbed system.

Towards a classification of Australian Aboriginal stone arrangements : an investigation of methodological problems with a gazetteer of selected sites

Subjects: subject: Archaeology Australia

description: A classification of Australian Aboriginal stone arrangements is fundamental to the understanding of their function and social significance for both Australian and world prehistory. The implications of certain problems with the archaeological data for a classification of arrangements, such as dating and inadequate reporting, are discussed. Possible principles governing the mode of construction, design and location of arrangements are investigated, and the criteria for classification suggested. A two-tier classification is proposed. On the first level, the technological and morphological characteristics of discrete stone arrangements are organised into classes. On the second level, the combination of arrangement classes at any one site defines site types. 144 sites in four regions in New South Wales are classified. Comparisons are made between classes and site types within each region and across regions. Existing opinions about the distribution of so-called 'simple' and 'complex' types are challenged. An investigation of the relationship between classes or site types, and other kinds of archaeological sites, such as rock art, reveals no perfect correlations either within one region or across regions. It is proposed that any governing principles are more likely to have operated at a local level, reflecting such factors as local topography, beliefs and traditions, and population density, rather than at a universal level. The significance of a classification of stone arrangements for studies on culture areas, and on complex Aboriginal hunter-gathering is discussed. Further research is proposed with regard to the former. The construction and location of many arrangements is regarded as evidence for a considerable investment of time and energy in non-subsistence activities. It is suggested that these stone arrangements are associated with the archaeological evidence identified by Australian and overseas researchers, for an increasingly more complex stage in the evolution of hunter-gatherers, in which ceremonial and ritual requirements were paramount.

description: While coalescence is ultimately the most drastic destabilization process in foams, its underlying processes are still unclear. To better understand them, we track individual coalescence events in two-dimensional foams at controlled capillary pressure. We obtain statistical information revealing the influence of the different parameters which have been previously proposed to explain coalescence. Our main conclusion is that coalescence probability is simply proportional to the area of the thin film separating two bubbles, suggesting that coalescence is mostly stochastic.

description: This thesis reports on a study o f the evolution o f stream channel networks and associated valley - side slopes made on the Pleistocene coral terraces of the Huon Peninsula in Papua New Guinea. The established radiometric ages for these terraces form the basis for analysis of both geomorphic events and rates of landform change over 340,000 years. An account is given of carbonate solution processes and their dynamics in relation to the development of the valley - side slopes, based upon instrumental observations. Evolutionary changes during the extension o f the surface drainage net are documented, and a model o f network growth proposed to account for the observed relationships .

Using Multiwavelength Observations to Determine the Black Hole Mass and Accretion Rate in the Type 1 Seyfert Galaxy NGC 5548
Creators: name: Chiang, James
name: Blaes, Omer
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We model the spectral energy distribution of the type 1 Seyfert galaxy NGC 5548, fitting data from simultaneous optical, UV, and X-ray monitoring observations. We assume a geometry consisting of a hot central Comptonizing region surrounded by a thin accretion disk. The properties of the disk and the hot central region are determined by the feedback occurring between the hot Comptonizing region and thermal reprocessing in the disk that, along with viscous dissipation, provides the seed photons for the Comptonization process. The constraints imposed upon this model by the multiwavelength data allow us to derive limits on the central black hole mass, $M \la 2 \times 10^7$ \Msun, the accretion rate, $\Mdot \la 2.5\times 10^5$ M$_\odot^2$yr$^{-1}/M$, and the radius of the transition region between the thin outer disk and the geometrically thick, hot inner region, $\sim 2$--5$\times 10^{14}$ cm.

description: This study aimed to explore how pedestrians´ safety perception concerning the built environmental characteristics can assist in designing a safer built environment in an urban area in Mexico. The study involved two stages of data collection. In the first stage, a physical audit on selected urban roads was performed to assess the characteristics that may increase the perceived risk of a collision. An observational framework to evaluate the crossing areas, sidewalks and organizational factors was developed and used for data collection. In the second stage, an on-street questionnaire was applied to collect the perception of a group of 299 pedestrians about safety risks, road characteristics and their ideas for designing a safer built environment. The physical road audit identified several features in the crossing areas and sidewalks, such as parked cars, movable and fixed obstacles, and lack of traffic signage, which may increase the risk of a pedestrian being involved in a collision. More than half of the road users who were interviewed either agree (27%) or strongly agree (29%) with the statement that crossing the roads in the area was safe. However, pedestrians also identified the following elements as detrimental for the safe use of roads: lack of traffic lights, too much traffic, lack of signs, and parked cars that obstruct visibility. Participants also raised issues beyond the physical infrastructure; for instance, a lack of respect shown by drivers to pedestrians. For designing a safer built environment, participants suggested several ideas highlighting pedestrianization of the road and widening the sidewalks, along with restricting parking of cars on the road. This combination of findings provide valuable support for the premise that pedestrians may have a good sense of recognizing safety problems and the ability to see the solutions. Although the research was undertaken in the context of a municipality in Guadalajara, the role of pedestrian safety perception may be applicable in other urban settings in low and middle-income countries (LMICs), where local authorities are in charge of designing the road environment. This study highlights the relevance of including pedestrians’ participation for a safer and human-centred design of our cities.
The Murinypata language of North-West Australia
Creators: name: Walsh, Michael
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1976

description: This study presents a synchronic description of the main dialect of the Murinypata language of North-West Australia. It is divided into six chapters. The first is introductory placing Murinypata in the context of Australian languages, giving some background to the area in which the language is spoken and assessing previous work on this group. The second chapter provides a phonological description and an account of morphophonological change. The segmental phonology is presented in a distinctive feature format. Some tentative rules are advanced to account for stress. The third chapter establishes the word classes of Murinypata, briefly discussing their defining characteristics. A preliminary discussion on noun classification is embarked upon which is given a fuller semantic basis in chapter six. Chapter four presents the morphological facts of the language: data which assist the description of verbal morphology are presented in Appendices 2 and 3. Chapter five provides a preliminary discussion of Murinypata syntax. A brief account of the semantics of the language is given in chapter six, with particular emphasis on noun-classification. Three sample texts are provided in Appendix 4. The bulk of the text is concerned with synchronic description of the phonology and morphology of the language. Their unusual complexity demand lengthy discussion with a more detailed account of the syntax and semantics being reserved for a later study.

Το αντικείμενο της διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι ο σχεδιασμός μιας πίστας F1 και του κεντρικού κτιρίου pit-stop στα Μέγαρα, Αττικής. Η πίστα μήκους 5,8 km αποτελείται από διάφορες ευθείες και στροφές με σκοπό να δοκιμάσουν τις δεξιότητες των οδηγών σε διαφορετικές ταχύτητες και συνθήκες. Η πίστα περιβάλλεται από θεατές με εξέδρες και ειδικά διαμορφωμένους λόφους προσφέροντας άριστη ορατότητα σε όλη τη διαδρομή. Το κεντρικό κτίριο είναι εμπνευσμένο από την δυναμική και την αισθητική των F1 μονοθέσιων. Οι καμπύλες και παράλληλες μεταξύ τους γραμμές και οι ανοιχτοί χώροι αντανακλούν την ροή και την κομψότητα ενός αγωνιστικού μονοθέσιου και ενσωματώνουν την αίσθηση της ταχύτητας και της κίνησης, στοιχεία που είναι κεντρικά στην εμπειρία της F1.
description: Formula 1 is the premier motorsport championship, combining the most advanced technology, racing strategy, and the adrenaline of high speed, offering a unique spectacle that captivates millions of viewers worldwide. The subject of this thesis is the design of an F1 track and the central pit-stop building in Megara, Attica. The 5.8 km track consists of various straights and turns designed to challenge drivers' skills at different speeds and conditions. The track is surrounded by spectator stands and specially designed hills, providing excellent visibility throughout the circuit.
The central building is inspired by the dynamism and aesthetics of F1 single-seaters. The curves, parallel lines, and open spaces reflect the flow and elegance of a racing car, incorporating the sense of speed and motion—elements that are central to the F1 experience.
