description: In this note, we prove the existence of a set of $n$-fold Pfister forms of cardinality $2^n$ over $\mathbb{C}(x_1,\dots,x_n)$ which do not share a common $(n-1)$-fold factor. This gives a negative answer to a question raised by Becher. The main tools are the existence of the dyadic valuation on the complex numbers and recent results on symmetric bilinear over fields of characteristic 2.
A grammar of Tinrin (New Caledonia)

Year: 1990
Subjects: subject: Melanesian languages New Caledonia
subject: Tinrin language Grammar

description: This dissertation presents an analysis of the phonology, morphology and syntax of Tinrin, one of the least investigated New Caledonian languages. The language is spoken by about 400 people in the Lafoa area in the southern part of New Caledonia. The analysis has been undertaken with materials obtained in nine months of field work conducted in Petit Couli, Lafoa and Noumea, New Caledonia. Chapter 1 provides background information on the language and a brief description about some dialectal variations. Some data I collected from the last speaker of the Tinrin in Ile des Pins is presented here. Chapter 2 discusses the phonology of Tinrin. A phoneme inventory comprising 30 consonants and 14 vowels (6 of which are nasal) is established, and phonotactics, stress, intonation, phonological processes and the morphophonemic rules are discussed. At the end of this chapter, proposals are made for an orthography employed in the rest of the thesis. Chapter 3 deals with word classes; the morpho-syntactic definition of each grammatical category, the relationship between these categories, and the multiple functions of some words are discussed. The morphological description presented in Chapters 4 and 5 examines systematic word formation, the use of various affixes and other processes. The functions of individual nominal prefixes are described in Chapter 4. In Chapter 5, the correlation of some nouns /verbs with classificatory prefixes is discussed. A summary table illustrates the extensive use of classificatory prefixes and their combination with various verbal stems. Chapters 6 through 8 analyse the syntactic structure of Tinrin. Chapter 6 describes the structure of the nominal phrase including various possessive constructions, and Chapter 7 the verb phrase. The functions of tense-aspect markers and verbal modifiers are described, and combination and word order among them are examined. Verb serialization and linked verb constructions are also discussed in this chapter. Syntax on the clause/sentence level is discussed in Chapter 8. Various clause types, including complementation, relative clauses, adverbial clauses, and emphatic constructions are described. Topicalisation, pseudo-passive and passive constructions are also discussed, and it is argued that they form a continuum along the active-passive polarity. A basic kinship terminology and an illustrative text are included at the end of the thesis.

description: Monte Carlo simulations are performed to determine the critical percolation threshold for interpenetrating square objects in two dimensions and cubic objects in three dimensions. Simulations are performed for two cases: (i) objects whose edges are aligned parallel to one another and (ii) randomly oriented objects. For squares whose edges are aligned, the critical area fraction at the percolation threshold phi_c=0.6666 +/- 0.0004, while for randomly oriented squares phi_c=0.6254 +/- 0.0002, 6% smaller. For cubes whose edges are aligned, the critical volume fraction at the percolation threshold phi_c=0.2773 +/- 0.0002, while for randomly oriented cubes phi_c=0.2236 +/- 0.0002, 24% smaller.

Non-marital pregnancy in Australia

Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1982
Subjects: subject: Unmarried mothers Australia
subject: Pregnant women Australia

description: Until recently, the two principal components of nonmarital pregnancy - ex-nuptial fertility and bridal pregnancy - have been studied independently. Because both elements are due to conceptions outside marriage, they have been examined together in this study. The study of non-marital pregnancy as such is relatively new, and it has been necessary to develop measures of its occurrence which are appropriate to the available data. As well as yielding a different way of measuring the phenomena, the methods developed here also imply a somewhat different perspective on them, which is more directly related to the occurrence of marriage, and hence to family formation. Thus, in the first forty years for which data in Australia are available (1891-1930), it emerges that non-marital pregnancy remained steady while ex-nuptial fertility declined. The need for explanation shifts from explaining declining ex-nuptial fertility to explaining why increased proportions of non-maritally pregnant women married while pregnant. For more recent periods, the approach adopted casts light on non-marital pregnancy among migrants and other groups (such as women classified by educational attainments), and on the onset of effective contraceptive techniques by unmarried women. During the 1970s fertility controls, by now including abortion, dramatically reduced levels of non-marital pregnancy. Levels of bridal pregnancy were affected more than was exnuptial fertility, especially among younger women, and there are signs that post-natal legitimation may be declining. The implication - that non-marital family formation is currently increasing - is explored but cannot be adequately examined using existing materials.

description: Although much progress has been made in the facial expression analysis field, facial occlusions are still challenging. The main innovation brought by this contribution consists in exploiting the specificities of facial movement propagation for recognizing expressions in presence of important occlusions. The movement induced by an expression extends beyond the movement epicenter. Thus, the movement occurring in an occluded region propagates towards neighboring visible regions. In presence of occlusions, per expression, we compute the importance of each unoccluded facial region and we construct adapted facial frameworks that boost the performance of per expression binary classifier. The output of each expression-dependant binary classifier is then aggregated and fed into a fusion process that aims constructing, per occlusion, a unique model that recognizes all the facial expressions considered. The evaluations highlight the robustness of this approach in presence of significant facial occlusions.

 Comments. The abovementioned material is indistinguishable from Anagyrus almoriensis Shafee, Alam and Agarwal, 1975 according to NOYES & HAYAT’ s (1994) key and diagnosis of the latter species. It is therefore probable that A. almoriensis is a junior synonym of A. fujikona, but we prefer not to formally propose this taxonomic change without having examined the relevant type material.

description: Determining the Equation of State (EOS) of dense neutron-rich nuclear matter is a shared goal of both nuclear physics and astrophysics. Except possible phase transitions, the density dependence of nuclear symmetry \esym is the most uncertain part of the EOS of neutron-rich nucleonic matter especially at supra-saturation densities. Much progresses have been made in recent years in predicting the symmetry energy and understanding why it is still very uncertain using various microscopic nuclear many-body theories and phenomenological models. Simultaneously, significant progresses have also been made in probing the symmetry energy in both terrestrial nuclear laboratories and astrophysical observatories. In light of the GW170817 event as well as ongoing or planned nuclear experiments and astrophysical observations probing the EOS of dense neutron-rich matter, we review recent progresses and identify new challenges to the best knowledge we have on several selected topics critical for understanding astrophysical effects of the nuclear symmetry energy.

description: When two black holes merge in a dense star cluster, they form a new black hole with a well-defined mass and spin. If that "second-generation" black hole remains in the cluster, it will continue to participate in dynamical encounters, form binaries, and potentially merge again. Using a grid of 96 dynamical models of dense star clusters and a cosmological model of cluster formation, we explore the production of binary black hole mergers where at least one component of the binary was forged in a previous merger. We create four hypothetical universes where every black hole born in the collapse of a massive star has a dimensionless Kerr spin parameter, $χ_{\rm birth}$, of 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, or 0.5. We show that if all stellar-born black holes are non-spinning ($χ_{\rm birth} = 0.0$), then more than 10% of merging binary black holes from clusters have components formed from previous mergers, accounting for more than 20% of the mergers from globular clusters detectable by LIGO/Virgo. Furthermore, nearly 7% of detectable mergers would have a component with a mass $\gtrsim 55M_{\odot}$, placing them clearly in the mass "gap" region where black holes cannot form from isolated collapsing stars due to the pulsational-pair instability mechanism. On the other hand, if black holes are born spinning, then the contribution from these second-generation mergers decreases, making up as little as 1% of all detections from globular clusters when $χ_{\rm birth} = 0.5$. We make quantitative predictions for the detected masses, mass ratios, and spin properties of first- and second-generation mergers from dense star clusters, and show how these distributions are highly sensitive to the birth spins of black holes.

An empirical investigation of issues in the assessment of social skill

Subjects: subject: Interpersonal relations

description: Research in the assessment and training of social skills has been hampered by the absence of adequate measurement and assessment instruments. The present study investigated a number of assessment issues in the area of social skill. These issues concerned the reliability and validity of untrained judges, the utility of role play, the behavioural consistency of skilled and unskilled subjects and the predictive power of nonverbal, paraverbal and verbal behaviours in social skill. Forty-three subjects were videotaped in two roleplays and a waiting interaction with a confederate of the opposite sex. Nine untrained judges provided criterion ratings of global social skill, while raters scored the paraverbal taped performances on a and verbal measures. The results indicated that untrained judges were fairly reliable; behaviour in role play and waiting interaction differed for unskilled subjects, but not for skilled subjects; skilled subjects did not show greater behavioural variability than unskilled subjects. A series of regression analyses revealed that the amount and timing of speech had the greatest influence on skill judgements. In general, predictive behaviours were able to account for considerably more of the variance in unskilled subjects than in skilled subjects. These findings suggest that nonverbal and paraverbal behaviours are significant at the lower end of the skill spectrum, but that other factors, probably verbal, influence judgements of high skill. The implications of these results for social skill assessment and training and for further research in the area are discussed.

description: A comparative analysis of two bridges constructed with the most commonly used girder types in Florida is carried out. The girder types that the bridges are employed for this study are AASHTO Type III (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) and Florida I-Beam. Two bridges that have exactly the same specifications but with different girder type are analyzed under baseline state and different prestress loss cases. Finite element models of these bridges are utilized and the FE models are subjected to two types of virtual load tests of Florida legal loads namely C5 and SU4. Florida I-Beam tends to have higher load carrying capacity, higher lateral stiffness, cost efficiency and better element level reliability when compared to AASHTO Type girders.

description: We use a sample of 220 face-on bulge-less galaxies situated in the low density environment to estimate their total mass via orbital motions of supposed rare satellites. Our inspection reveals 43 dwarf companions having the mean projected separation of 130 kpc and the mean-square velocity difference of 96 km/s. For them, we obtain the mean orbital-mass-to-K-band luminosity ratio of $20\pm3$. Seven bulge-less spirals in the Local Volume are also characterized by the low mean ratio, $M_{orb}/L_K = 22\pm5$. We conclude that bulge-less Sc-Scd-Sd galaxies have poor dark halos, about two times lower than that of bulgy spiral galaxies of the same stellar mass.

description: The influence of geometry and morphology of superconducting structure on critical currents and magnetic flux trapping in percolative type-II superconductor is considered. The superconductor contains the clusters of a normal phase, which act as pinning centers. It is found that such clusters have significant fractal properties. The main features of these clusters are studied in detail: the cluster statistics is analyzed; the fractal dimension of their boundary is estimated; the distribution of critical currents is obtained, and its peculiarities are explored. It is examined thoroughly how the finite resolution capacity of the cluster geometrical size measurement affects the estimated value of fractal dimension. The effect of fractal properties of the normal phase clusters on the electric field arising from magnetic flux motion is investigated in the case of an exponential distribution of cluster areas. The voltage-current characteristics of superconductors in the resistive state for an arbitrary fractal dimension are obtained. It is revealed that the fractality of the boundaries of the normal phase clusters intensifies the magnetic flux trapping and thereby raises the critical current of a superconductor.

description: We present the full phase diagram of the dumbbell model of spin ice as a function of temperature, chemical potential and staggered chemical potential which breaks the translational lattice symmetry in favour of charge crystal ordering. We observe a double winged structure with five possible phases, monopole fluid (spin ice), fragmented single monopole crystal phases and double monopole crystal, the zinc blend structure. Our model provides a skeleton for liquid-liquid phase transitions and for the winged structures observed for itinerant magnets under pressure and external field. We relate our results to recent experiments on Ho$_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$ and propose a wide ranging set of new experiments that exploit the phase diagram, including high pressure protocols, dynamical scaling of Kibble-Zurek form and universal violations of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem.

Transverse voltage in high-Tc superconductors in zero magnetic fields

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Longitudinal and transverse voltages have been measured in zero external magnetic fields. In close vicinity of the superconducting transition nonzero transverse voltage has been observed while far away from Tc, both above and below no such voltage has been detected. The value of the transverse resistivity depends on the value of the transport current. Several models have been discussed taking into account also the penetration of self field due to the applied transport current. It seems that observed results can be explained using the Kosterlitz-Thouless model as a result of an unpairing of vortex-antivortex pairs created below Tkt due to fluctuations. At Tkt free vortices and antivortices are created and can contribute to a dissipation of energy. Their movement should also be responsible for the observed nonzero transverse voltage.

Hume enterprises in Australia, 1910-1940 : a study in micro-economic growth
Creators: name: Snooks, G. D.
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1971
Subjects: subject: Humes Ltd
subject: Corporations Australia

description: The purpose of this study has been to describe and analyse the rapid growth of Hume enterprises between its inception in 1910 and the outbreak of World War II. Our central hypothesis is that while the firm's growth was the product of a complex interaction of factors, the key to this process was the ambition, drive and inventive-innovative abilities of the firm's founder, W.R. Hume. To demonstrate this it has been necessary to show that the firm's greater-than-average rate of growth was mainly due to factors internal to the firm, that the internal factors which initiated and sustained this growth were the product of W.R. Hume's drive and innovative capacity, that these internal factors were of central importance in the resulting growth process, and that the upper limit to the firm's rate of growth was determined by factors outside W.R. Hume's control rather than by the exhaustion of his desire for expansion. For this purpose the dissertation has been organised around a general demand - supply framework, examining the market in which this firm operated on the one hand, and the supply determinants of growth (changes in factor inputs and productivity) on the other. This constitutes the major part of the study, and has been developed in Chapters 2 to 9. In the final chapter an attempt has been made to utilise the foregoing work to reconstruct the firm's historical growth process, indicating the system of incentives for growth and the resulting interaction of the firm's internal resources with its environment. It will be seen that the conclusions of this study have much in common with those theories (by Marris and Penrose) which stress the growth orientation of firms, which recognise the importance of innovation in the firm's growth process, and which examine constraints (shortages of managerial resources, and a minimum profit rate) on the rate of this growth. On the other hand our conclusions have little in common with the general characteristics of those theories which are based upon the assumption of short-run profit maximisation.
Exfoliation of Ti$_2$C and Ti$_3$C$_2$ Mxenes from Bulk Phases of Titanium Carbide: A Theoretical Prediction

description: MXenes, a new class of two dimensional materials with several novel properties, are usually prepared from their MAX phases by etching out the A element using strong chemical reagents. This results in passivation of the surfaces of MXene with different functional groups like O, -OH, -F, etc., which in many cases tend to degrade their properties. In this work, using first principle density functional theory based calculations, we propose a novel method to synthesize pristine Ti$_2$C and Ti$_3$C$_2$ MXenes from the bulk titanium carbides with corresponding stoichiometry. Based on the values of cleavage energy obtained from our calculations, we envisage that pristine Ti$_2$C and Ti$_3$C$_2$ MXenes can be prepared, using mechanical or sonification-assisted liquid-phase exfoliation techniques, from their bulk phases.

description: We have observed suppression of shot noise in the variable-range hopping regime for a two-dimensional electron gas whose localization length, xi, is controlled by a gate voltage. We have found that the suppression factor F (Fano factor) is approximately inversely proportional to the length of the system L (F=L0*/L) for a broad range of values of xi/L_0*, where L0* is the characteristic length. In the case xi/L0*<<1, we have identified L0* with the distance L0 between the hard hops along the sample length. On the other hand, when xi is of the order of L0*, we have observed that L0* does not agree with L0 calculated from the percolation model of hopping. We attribute this discrepancy to a breakdown of that model and to a reconstruction of the hopping paths.

description: The research in this thesis addresses the subject of sensor-based formation control for a network of autonomous agents. The task of formation control involves the stabilisation of the agents to a desired set of relative states, with the possible additional objective of manoeuvring the agents while maintaining this formation. Although the formation control challenge has been widely studied in the literature, many existing control strategies are based on full state information, and give little consideration to the sensor modalities available for the task. The focus of this thesis lies in the use of a generic arrangement of partial state measurements as can commonly be acquired by onboard sensors; for example, time-of-flight sensors can be used to measure the distances between vehicles, and onboard cameras can provide the bearing from one vehicle to each of the others. Particular aspects of the problem that are addressed in this thesis include (i) ways of modelling the formation control task, (ii) methods of analysing the system's behaviour, and (iii) the design of a formation control scheme based on generic arrangements of sensors that provide only partial position information. A key contribution in this thesis is a generalisation of the classical notion of rigidity, which considers the use of distance constraints between agents in R^2 or R^3 to specify a rigid body (or formation). This enables the concept of rigidity to be applied to agent networks involving a variety of (possibly non-Euclidean) state-spaces, with a generic set of state constraints that may, for example, include bearings between agents as well as distances. I demonstrate that this framework is very well-suited for modelling a wide variety of formation control problems (addressing goal (i) above), and I extend several fundamental results from classical rigidity theory in order to provide significant insight for system analysis (addressing goal (ii) above). To design a formation control scheme that uses generic partial position measurements (addressing goal (iii) above), I employ a modular passivity-based approach that is developed using the bondgraph modelling formalism. I illustrate how adaptive compensation can be incorporated into this design approach in order to account for the unknown position information that is not available from the onboard sensors. Although formation control is the subject of this thesis, it should be noted that the rigidity-based and passivity-based frameworks developed here are quite general and may be applied to a wide range of other problems.

description: (Abridged) The purpose of this paper is to explore and compare the physical and chemical structure of Class I low-mass protostellar sources on protoplanetary disc scales. We present a study of the dust and gas emission towards a representative sample of 12 Class I protostars from the Ophiuchus molecular cloud with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). The continuum at 0.87 mm and molecular transitions from C17O, C34S, H13CO+, CH3OH, SO2 , and C2H were observed at high angular resolution (0.4", ~60 au diameter) towards each source. Disc and stellar masses are estimated from the continuum flux and position-velocity diagrams, and six of the sources show disc-like structures. Towards the more luminous sources, compact emission and large line widths are seen for transitions of SO2 that probe warm gas (Eu ~200 K). In contrast, C17O emission is detected towards the least evolved and less luminous systems. No emission of CH3OH is detected towards any of the continuum peaks, indicating an absence of warm CH3OH gas towards these sources. A power-law relation is seen between the stellar mass and the bolometric luminosity, corresponding to a mass accretion rate of (2.4 +/- 0.6) x 10^-7 Msun/year for the Class I sources. This mass accretion rate is lower than the expected value if the accretion is constant in time and rather points to a scenario of accretion occurring in bursts. The differentiation between C17O and SO2 suggests that they trace different physical components: C17O traces the densest and colder regions of the disc-envelope system, while SO2 may be associated with regions of higher temperature, such as accretion shocks. The lack of warm CH3OH emission suggests that there is no hot-core-like region around any of the sources and that the CH3OH column density averaged over the disc is low.

description: Recently, MnBi2Te4 has been discovered as the first intrinsic antiferromagnetic topological insulator (AFM TI), and will become a promising material to discover exotic topological quantum phenomena. In this work, we have realized the successful synthesis of high-quality MnBi2Te4 single crystals by solid-state reactions. The as-grown MnBi2Te4 single crystal exhibits a van der Waals layered structure, which is composed of septuple Te-Bi-Te-Mn-Te-Bi-Te sequences as determined by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and high-resolution high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM). The magnetic order below 25 K as a consequence of A-type antiferromagnetic interaction between Mn layers in the MnBi2Te4 crystal suggests the unique interplay between antiferromagnetism and topological quantum states. The transport measurements of MnBi2Te4 single crystals further confirm its magnetic transition. Moreover, the unstable surface of MnBi2Te4, which is found to be easily oxidized in air, deserves attention for onging research on few-layer samples. This study on the first AFM TI of MnBi2Te4 will guide the future research on other potential candidates in the MBixTey family (M = Ni, V, Ti, etc.).

description: We report an Eliashberg analysis of the electron dynamics in YBa_2Cu_3O_6.95. The magnetic resonance at 41 meV couples to charge carriers and defines the characteristic shape in energy of the scattering rate τ^{-1}(T,ω) which allows us to construct the charge-spin spectral density I^2χ(ω,T) at temperature T. The T dependence of the weight under the resonance peak in I^2χ(ω,T) agrees with experiment as does that of the London penetration depth and of the microwave conductivity. Als, at T=0 condensation energy, the fractional oscillator strength in the condensate, and the ratio of gap to critical temperature agree well with the data.

 MATÉRIEL EXAMINÉ. — Maurice. 20°17.60’S, 57°21.06’E, 42 m, 13.XI.1999, coll. CRRF, 2 colonies (MNHN A3 POL B 9).
 AFrique du Sud. Algoa Bay, 31m, holotype (SAM A 2561O).
DESCRIPTION
Les colonies s’étendent en grandes croûtes blanches de plus de 15 cm de diamètre et épaisses de 2 cm (Fig. 29B). La consistance est très dure, semblable à celle d’une pierre. Les spicules sont denses dans toute l’épaisseur de la tunique. Les ouvertures cloacales communes sont groupées au centre de systèmes circulaires. Les zoïdes sont perpendiculaires à la surface de la colonie et inclus dans des logettes assez espacées.
Les siphons ont six lobes, les lobes buccaux ont une indentation médiane. Le siphon cloacal est un peu plus long que le siphon buccal. Les tentacules sont disposés en deux rangs nets, 12 plus longs implantés nettement plus bas que le cercle de nombreux petits tentacules. Sur le manteau du thorax, à une distance de trois rangs de stigmates comptés à partir de la partie postérieure de la branchie, il y a un organe thoracique latéral de chaque côté, mais sans accumulation de spicules.
La branchie a 15 à 16 rangs de 25 à 35 stigmates de chaque côté comptés au milieu du thorax.
L’estomac à paroi lisse est situé aux deux tiers de la longue boucle digestive. Les gonades sont peu développées dans les spécimens étudiés qui n’ont pas de larves.
REMARQUES
 L’holotype de P. pallida, déposé au South African Museum, a été réexaminé. Contrairement à la description de Millar (1962), les zoïdes ont des gonades, mais peu développées. Après avoir ouvert la branchie, on compte 22 stigmates par demi-rang chez les zoïdes du type alors que Millar en signale 12 seulement.
 L’espèce Polycitorella pallida est retrouvée pour la première fois, bien plus au nord que la localité type: Algoa Bay.

description: The recovery of signals with finite-valued components from few linear measurements is a problem with widespread applications and interesting mathematical characteristics. In the compressed sensing framework, tailored methods have been recently proposed to deal with the case of finite-valued sparse signals. In this work, we focus on binary sparse signals and we propose a novel formulation, based on polynomial optimization. This approach is analyzed and compared to the state-of-the-art binary compressed sensing methods.

The political science of David Hume : an inquiry into the polemical intent of behind Hume's political writings
Creators: name: Holt, Stephen James
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1973
Subjects: subject: Hume, David, 1711-1776

description: In the mid twentieth century David Hume is studied more as a philosopher than as a writer on history and politics. In his own day, however, this was far from being the case. The Annual Register for 1776, when it came to evaluate Hume's major achievement as a man of letters following his death in the summer of that year, made it clear that it considered that if he were to retain his reputation as 'a writer unequalled in his age, or in his province, one of the most eminent and extensive in the empire of science', he would do so primarily as a historian rather than as a philosopher. The Treatise of Human Nature, the most systematic of all his works, had been 'entirely overlooked, or decried at the time of its publication, except by a few liberal-minded men'. Indeed, by 1776 copies of the Treatise had become so 'very scarce' that the Annual Register deemed it proper to restate some of its central doctrines. Hume's History of England, on the other hand, was 'a favourite performance', a state of affairs which the Annual Register considered to be entirely proper; it felt that this work, 'taken as a whole, ... may be considered as one of the most excellent productions of human genius, and is certainly the greatest historical work of modern times'.
