The Limits of Normative Naturalism
Creators: name: Hambly, Jesse
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2020

description: Normative judgements - judgements about what we and others ought and have reason to do, believe, intend, and so on - are a ubiquitous and probably inescapable part of our lives. But in virtue of what are such judgement true - if in fact they ever are? Answering this question calls for an account of the nature of normative properties and facts. Normative Naturalists provide such an account, suggesting that normative properties and facts are reducible to natural properties and facts - very roughly, those properties and facts posited by the sciences. In this thesis, I argue that Normative Naturalist views fail; if there are normative properties and facts, it's not the case that they are reducible to natural properties and facts. In Part I of the thesis, I argue against Analytic Normative Naturalist views, which hold that we can establish that normative properties and facts are reducible to natural properties and facts by giving analyses of normative concepts in non-normative terms. The essence of my argument is that Analytic Normative Naturalists can't capture the way normative concepts are supposed to feature in our practices of decision-making, advice and criticism. In Part II, I argue against Non-Analytic Naturalist views, which hold that, while normative properties and facts are reducible to natural properties and facts, normative concepts are not analysable in non-normative terms. I argue that such views can't provide a plausible account of how normative concepts pick out natural properties.

The Scope and Limits of Debunking Arguments in Ethics
Creators: name: Yeo, Shang
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2020

description: Debunking arguments use empirical evidence about our moral beliefs - in particular, about their causal origins, or about how they depend on various causes - in order to reach an epistemic conclusion about the trustworthiness of such beliefs. In this thesis, I investigate the scope and limits of debunking arguments, and their implications for what we should believe about morality. I argue that debunking arguments can in principle work - they are based on plausible epistemic premises, and at least some of them avoid putative problems concerning regress and redundancy. However, I also argue that some debunking arguments fall short because they are insufficiently supported by the empirical evidence. By considering different objections, analyses, and a case study, I explore the conditions for a successful debunking argument. Chapter 1 starts by providing an overview of debunking arguments - their structure, their variations, and common objections to them. Chapter 2 defends debunking arguments against counterexamples to their epistemic premises - counterexamples which, if effective, will show that debunking arguments cannot work in principle. I argue against the use of these counterexamples, and contend that we cannot merely deny the epistemic premises of a debunking argument. Chapter 3 defends debunking arguments against three further objections concerning how such arguments fit into the web of beliefs. The regress objection contends that debunking arguments make assumptions that commit us to a problematic regress. The findings redundancy objection contends that the empirical findings are unnecessary in a debunking argument. The argument redundancy objection alleges that debunking arguments assume what they set out to prove. Even if debunking arguments are in principle viable, some of them still fail because of poor empirical support. Chapter 4 argues that some global, evolutionary debunking arguments fall short - roughly because we are poorly placed to observe, intervene on, and predict what would happen from different evolutionary causes. In contrast, experimental evidence from moral psychology and behavioural economics will be better placed to support a debunking argument. Chapter 5 considers a novel debunking argument based on evidence of this kind - which shows how we overweight low probabilities in our decision-making, and underweight moderate to high probabilities. I explore debunking and vindicating arguments concerning our intuitions about risky aid. Chapter 6 proposes a Bayesian analysis of debunking arguments, which can guide us in revising our beliefs in response to debunking. I highlight further conditions for debunking to work, and propose a quantitative method for integrating different kinds of evidence in order to arrive at a rational credence about morality in light of debunking.

Congruent regulation: Designing the optimal Australian utility regime
Creators: name: Gray, Harriet
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2020

description: Picture a policy maker tasked with designing a regime to regulate a utility. What design principles will produce an optimal regime? This thesis develops the concept of congruent regulation where all the components of a regime work together. The thesis does not adjudicate on whether Australian governments were right to follow the international trend away from government monopoly provision of utilities towards private ownership, open competition and independent regulation of the bottleneck infrastructure. Instead, this thesis points out contradictions in the design of individual components of utility regimes: If market power justifies economic regulation of the bottleneck infrastructure, why are the components that are usually designed by lawyers such as the regulatory process, appeal mechanism and institutional structure not also tailored to market power? Can a government's complex objectives really be achieved through the economists' approach of designing price signals to deliver economic efficiency with non-economic objectives addressed through external instruments? In asking whether it is possible to develop principles for the design of a utility regime as a whole, this thesis develops a deceptively simple proposition: Regime objectives and market characteristics should drive the design of all the regime components subject to legacy issues. In practice, this principle can cause heated debates as lawyers and economists are challenged to give up cherished beliefs on regulatory design. And yet the alternative is perennial surprise when an incongruent regime does not deliver the intended results.

description: We propose two families of tests for the classical goodness-of-fit problem to univariate normality. The new procedures are based on $L^2$-distances of the empirical zero-bias transformation to the normal distribution or the empirical distribution of the data, respectively. Weak convergence results are derived under the null hypothesis, under fixed alternatives as well as under contiguous alternatives. Empirical critical values are provided and a comparative finite-sample power study shows the competitiveness to classical procedures.
Changing Practices of Meat Consumption among Hindus in a North Indian Town
Creators: name: Chaturvedi, Mohit
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2020

description: The food practices of Hindus in north India have historically been viewed through the prisms of caste and region - high-caste Hindus are vegetarians and while the lowers castes eat meat vegetarianism remains desirable. In recent years these practices, especially a growing consumption of meat, have been explained by reference to increased economic prosperity and the emergence of a 'modern' middle class. Several recent surveys of food practices have unequivocally reported that the relationship between caste and meat consumption and avoidance is not as straightforward as generally believed and that some of the most prosperous parts of India have the highest proportions of vegetarian population. Drawing on fieldwork conducted among Hindus in a north Indian town this research suggests that while caste and economic wellbeing remain important determinants of food practices, these practices, especially the practices of meat consumption and avoidance, are far too complex and nuanced to be adequately explained by these two factors alone. A detailed documentation of everyday food practices of north Indian Hindus, in particular the avoidance and consumption of meat, suggests that while the everyday practice remains overwhelmingly vegetarian there is increased discretion in food choices and greater reflected consumption. Food has moved outside the household and into the public domain, the boundaries of 'vegetarian' and 'non-vegetarian' have been stretched, there is regular movement between the two categories, and today it is possible to consume meat while being a member of a vegetarian household. The changes in food practices - motivated by diverse considerations - are not in any one direction but in multiple directions including vegetarians taking to meat consumption and those who eat meat turning vegetarian. Moving beyond the dual explanations of caste and economic wellbeing the food practices of north Indian Hindus can be better understood against the backdrop of socio-economic changes that have swept India post-1990 as Hindus create and re-create their social identities in a rapidly changing world.

description: Magnetic particle spectroscopy (MPS) is a method to characterize the characteristics of magnetic nanoparticles (MNP), which is of great significance for the research of magnetic particle imaging (MPI) and magnetic hyperthermia. In the MPS system, the waveform characteristics of the excitation magnetic field will directly impact the received particle signal. Aiming at the problem that sinusoidal wave is used by default in most current studies, this study has studied the excitation effect of the trapezoidal wave and triangular wave. The results show that under the excitation frequencies of 10kHz and 15kHz, the excitation effect of the trapezoidal wave is obviously better than the other two waveforms, and the effect of the triangular wave is the worst. The research is enormously significant to the optimization of MPS and even MPI.

Resolving Jet-Driven Feedback on Sub-kpc Scales
Creators: name: Zovaro, Henry
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2020

description: Relativistic jets from active galactic nuclei are known to have a profound impact on their environment, both enhancing ('positive feedback') and inhibiting ('negative feedback') star formation under certain conditions. However, the role that these feedback processes play in shaping the properties of their host galaxies and environment remains elusive. In particular, efforts to catch feedback 'in the act' have been hampered by the spatial resolution required to resolve the jets' environment. In this thesis, I advance our understanding of jet-driven feedback by comparing hydrodynamical simulations to high angular resolution optical and near-infrared integral field spectroscopy (IFS) observations, which allow us to probe the critical sub-kpc scales necessary to bridge the gap between theory and observations. To investigate feedback processes driven by young jets, I led observational programs focusing on the local radio galaxies 4C 31.04 and UGC 05771. Both galaxies harbour young jets confined to the interstellar medium (ISM), with very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) revealing jets ~100 pc and ~10 pc in size in 4C 31.04 and UGC 05771 respectively. Using adaptive optics-assisted near-infrared IFS from Gemini/NIFS and Keck/OSIRIS, I found signatures of jet-ISM interactions at radii up to 100 times larger than the size of the jets in both galaxies, a surprising result which indicated the existence of low surface-brightness jet plasma not visible in the VLBI observations. This is consistent with contemporary hydrodynamical simulations which show that the main jet streams may become temporarily halted by dense clumps in the ISM, whilst secondary plasma streams - which have a much lower surface brightness - can percolate through channels in the ISM, reaching much larger radii. The fact that this phenomenon was observed in both galaxies suggests it may be common in young radio galaxies, and may regulate star formation by driving shocks into the ISM. To investigate jet-induced star formation, I led a study of Minkowski's Object, a peculiar star-forming dwarf galaxy located in the path of the radio jet from the galaxy NGC 541 in the nearby cluster Abell 194. I carried out an IFS study of this enigmatic object using WiFeS on the ANU 2.3 m telescope, and determined that the observed emission line ratios are consistent with star formation, with a minor contribution from non-stellar ionisation sources, and an unusually large metallicity variation within the object, the origin of which remains unclear.

description: We construct an entropy current using a supersymmetric formulation of the low-energy effective action for the Schwinger-Keldysh generating functional. We define an entropy current quantum mechanically by coupling it to an external source. It is given by the bottom component of an entropy current superfield which is conserved in superspace, but when restricted to real space satisfies a non-conservation law. Our analysis is valid in the probe limit which allows us to fully treat quantum fluctuations.

description: An optical probe of cesium Rydberg atoms generated in a thermal vapor cell is used to retrieve a baseband signal modulated onto a 16.98-GHz carrier wave in real-time, demonstrating an atom-based quantum receiver suitable for microwave communication. The 60$S_{1/2}$ Rydberg level of cesium atoms in the cell is tracked via electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), an established laser-spectroscopic method. The microwave carrier is resonant with the 60$S_{1/2}$ $\rightarrow$ 60$P_{1/2}$ Rydberg transition, resulting in an Autler-Townes (AT) splitting of the EIT signal. Amplitude modulation of the carrier wave results in a corresponding modulation in the optically retrieved AT splitting. Frequency modulation causes a change in relative height of the two AT peaks, which can be optically detected and processed to retrieve the modulation signal. The optical retrieval of the baseband signal does not require electronic demodulation. The method is suitable for carrier frequencies within a range from $\sim 1$~GHz to hundreds of GHz. The baseband bandwidth, which is $\sim$~20~Hz in the present demonstration, can be increased by faster spectroscopic sampling.

description: Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a tracer imaging modality that detects superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIOs), enabling sensitive, radiation-free imaging of cells and disease pathologies. The arbitrary waveform relaxometer (AWR) is an indispensable platform for developing magnetic nanoparticle tracers and evaluating tracer performace for magnetic particle imaging applications. One of the biggest challenges in arbitrary waveform excitation is direct feedthrough interference, which is usually six orders of magnitude larger than the signal from magnetic nanoparticles. Direct feedthrough is often mitigated with a gradiometric cancellation coil which requires extremely precise placement in order to achieve adequate decoupling from the transmit excitation coil. This work will showcase a coil design of a transmit coil that meets excitation capability requirements with an order of magnitude more forgiving mechanical tolerance.

Continuity and change in Chinese marriage
Creators: name: Xu, Kim
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2020

description: Family change in China over the past few decades has been characterised by a trend towards later marriage, greater marital instability, and increases in non-marital pregnancy and unmarried cohabitation. At the same time, many other features of Chinese marriage patterns have changed very little. Marriage remains near universal, especially among women. And despite the emergence of non-traditional family behaviours, the strong link between marriage and childbearing is unchallenged. This pattern of change and stability in Chinese marriage is the central theme of the present dissertation, which consists of a collection of works aimed at analysing and understanding trends and patterns in a wide range of family behaviours in China, including first marriage formation, cohabitation, non-marital pregnancy and marital dissolution. In doing so, this thesis explores the influences of direct state intervention and socio-structural changes on family ideation and behaviours in China, as well as the resistances and forms of adaption that occur when modern influences meet traditional cultural heritage and family practices. It also examines, on an individual level, how tension arising from changes in some aspects of the family and stability in others affects individual life courses. Each of the thesis's four substantive chapters addresses a specific knowledge gap in the existing literature on marriage and family formation in China. Please see the attached full abstract

The realized system consists of two sets of inner and outer coils (“racetracks”), each driven by an independent amplifier. Hollow conductors and a highly parallel water-cooling circuit provide heat removal during operation. The measured electrical characteristics of the coils (Rinner = 310 mOhms, Linner = 26 mH, Router = 399 mOhms, Louter =41 mH, M = 22.6 mH) match simulated values well, and field efficiency measurements demonstrate ability to shift a 1.03 T/m FFL over a 20 cm FOV within driving capabilities of the amplifier system (field efficiency = 0.215 mT/A).

description: We used the Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution catalogue, part of the Gaia Data Release 1, to search for candidate astrometric microlensing events expected to occur within the remaining lifetime of the Gaia satellite. Our search yielded one promising candidate. We predict that the nearby DQ type white dwarf LAWD 37 (WD 1142-645) will lens a background star and will reach closest approach on November 11th 2019 ($\pm$ 4 days) with impact parameter $380\pm10$ mas. This will produce an apparent maximum deviation of the source position of $2.8\pm0.1$ mas. In the most propitious circumstance, Gaia will be able to determine the mass of LAWD 37 to $\sim3\%$. This mass determination will provide an independent check on atmospheric models of white dwarfs with helium rich atmospheres, as well as tests of white dwarf mass radius relationships and evolutionary theory.

Non-negative Polynomials, Sums of Squares & The Moment Problem
Creators: name: Bhardwaj, Abhishek
Publisher: name: The Australian National University

description: This thesis studies polynomial optimization, that is, the problem of minimizing the value of a polynomial over a semi-algebraic set. Such polynomial optimization problems arise in a wide variety of contexts, both in mathematics, and more generally in science and engineering. In the first part of this thesis, we study a polynomial optimization problem which arises when solving the separability problem in Quantum Information Theory. Our approach is via sums of squares decompositions for polynomials, which provide a natural relaxation for polynomial optimization. Our focus is on the development of practical computational methods to address these problems. We review classical sum of squares relaxations, and give a comparison of the computational complexities between some of the modern state-of-the-art relaxations. Using the insights gained from this analysis we develop a MATLAB package which is able to solve the separability problem in cases which were beyond the reach of previously existing software implementations. In the second part of this thesis, we study the tracial moment problem, which can be thought of as a dual problem to non-commutative polynomial optimization. For the bivariate quartic tracial moment problem, the problem is well understood when the associated Hankel matrix (which has size 7x7) is positive definite, or positive semi-definite and of rank at most 4. Here we examine the Hankel matrix when it is of rank 5 or 6 and show that there are four canonical cases to study. In two out of the four rank 6 cases, we reformulate the existence of a representing measure, to a feasibility problem of three small linear matrix inequalities and a rank constraint. Our results significantly improve previous approaches to the bivariate quartic tracial moment problem. Finally, we also study the tracial moment problem on elliptic curves, giving a reduction to the classical moment problem in two out of the three cases. Furthermore, for the classical moment problem on elliptic curves, we give sufficient conditions for a representing measure to exist.

FMMD controller and software for MPI system based on mechanical FFL movement

description: We describe FMMD controller and software for MPI system based on mechanical FFL movement. MPI based on mechanical FFL movement requires signal processing such as signal excitation, amplification, filter, and acquisition. And it is essential to synchronize the acquired signal with the mechanical FFL movement. For signal processing, FMMD controller that can adjust the attenuation and amplification factors and filtering frequencies of signals in real time was used. The signal acquired from the controller was transferred to the host PC, and the synchronization between the signal acquired from the MPI device and the mechanical FFL motion was processed, and the frequency analysis of the synchronized data was performed in software. Without using various commercial signal processing equipment, we were able to develop MPI system by using the controller and software.

description: M55 belongs to a class of innovative nanomaterials, constituted by doped ferrite, with potential application in tumor therapy, as agents for Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia (MFH), and in diagnosis, as contrast agents for MRI and MPI. Interestingly, such nanomaterials are characterized by a self-limiting temperature that can be modulated by adjusting the composition of the nanomaterial itself. M55 was coated with a double shell of citrate and glucose. We demonstrated that it has good capability as contrast agent for MRI and MPI. Moreover we tested its biocompatibility in a triple negative human breast cancer line and its efficacy as MFH agent in the same cell line. Despite relatively low SAR values in water solution, this agents was highly efficient in decreasing cell viability after two MFH treatments. Finally, we demonstrated that it can be useful to label cells for cell tracking in MPI. Although preliminary, these results are encouraging and push toward in vivo tests of such material.

description: Superradiance is the archetypical collective phenomenon where radiation is amplified by the coherence of emitters. It plays a prominent role in optics, where it enables the design of lasers with substantially reduced linewidths, quantum mechanics, and is even used to explain cosmological observations like Hawking radiation from black holes. Hybridization of distinct quantum systems allows to engineer new quantum metamaterials pooling the advantages of the individual systems. Superconducting circuits coupled to spin ensembles are promising future building blocks of integrated quantum devices and superradiance will play a prominent role. As such it is important to study its fundamental properties in hybrid devices. Experiments in the strong coupling regime have shown oscillatory behaviour in these systems but a clear signature of Dicke superradiance has been missing so far. Here we explore superradiance in a hybrid system composed of a superconducting resonator in the fast cavity limit inductively coupled to an inhomogeneously broadened ensemble of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centres. We observe a superradiant pulse being emitted a trillion of times faster than the decay for an individual NV centre. This is further confirmed by the non-linear scaling of the emitted radiation intensity with respect to the ensemble size. Our work provides the foundation for future quantum technologies including solid state superradiant masers.

description: A Higgsless model for strong, electro-weak and gravitational interactions is proposed. This model is based on the local symmetry group SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1)xC where C is the local conformal symmetry group. The natural minimal conformally invariant form of total lagrangian is postulated. It contains all Standard Model fields and gravitational interaction. Using the unitary gauge and the conformal scale fixing conditions we can eliminate all four real components of the Higgs doublet in this model. However the masses of vector mesons, leptons and quarks are automatically generated and are given by the same formulas as in the conventional Standard Model. The gravitational sector is analyzed and it is shown that the model admits in the classical limit the Einsteinian form of gravitational interactions. No figures.
