description: Analysis of environmental problems involves addressing some of the complexities of economics that arise when departures are contemplated from the theory of perfectly competitive markets and its assumptions of allocated, appropriable property rights. It is currently fashionable to advocate the use of market based instruments, including offsets, to solve environmental problems. In this paper, the theoretical issues involved in using offsets are examined and illustrated in relation to biodiversity management. It is argued that, although offsets schemes have been successfully developed for pollution markets, there are considerably greater challenges in designing them for efficient and widely applicable biodiversity management.

description: Chest X-ray examination plays an important role in lung disease detection. The more accuracy of this task, the more experienced radiologists are required. After ChestX-ray14 dataset containing over 100,000 frontal-view X-ray images of 14 diseases was released, several models were proposed with high accuracy. In this paper, we develop a work flow for lung disease diagnosis in chest X-ray images, which can improve the average AUROC of the state-of-the-art model from 0.8414 to 0.8445. We apply image preprocessing steps before feeding to the 14 diseases detection model. Our project includes three models: the first one is DenseNet-121 to predict whether a processed image has a better result, a convolutional auto-encoder model for bone shadow exclusion is the second one, and the last is the original CheXNet.

description: Taust ja eesmärk. Rasedusaegne rauavaegusaneemia on üks sagedasim rasedusaegne probleem nii Eestis kui mujal maailmas. Uuringu eesmärk oli a) hinnata rasedusaegse aneemia levimust ja seost rasedustüsistuste tekkega; b) analüüsida rauapreparaatide kasutamist ja selle seost rasedustulemiga. Meetodid. Uuringusse „Happy Pregnancy” kaasati 2334 rasedat, kes pöördusid rasedusaegseks jälgimiseks Tartu Ülikooli Kliinikumi ajavahemikul 2013–2015. Aneemiat diagnoositi, kui raseduse I ja III trimestril oli hemoglobiini tase alla 110 g/l ning II trimestril alla 105 g/l. Andmed rasedustulemi kohta koguti meditsiinilisest dokumentatsioonist ning rauapreparaatide tarvitamise kohta raseda täidetud küsimustikest kõigil kolmel rasedustrimestril. Tulemused. Rasedusaegset aneemiat esines raseduse esimesel trimestril 4,2%-l, teisel 9,9%-l ning kolmandal trimestril 31,9%-l rasedatest. Aneemia seondus suurema riskiga raseduse lõppeks enne 22. rasedusnädalat, enneaegseks sünnituseks, preeklampsiaks, sünnitusjärgseks verejooksuks. Aneemiaga rasedad vajavad sagedamini pärast sünnitust vereülekannet. Rauapreparaate tarvitasid erinevatel trimestritel vastavalt 3,3%, 11,3% ning 25,9% rasedatest. Rauapreparaatide tarvitamine III trimestril esineva aneemia korral vähendas preeklampsia riski viis korda (šansside suhe (OR) 0,2; 95% usaldusvahemik (uv) 0,01–0,6), seondus väiksema šansiga sünnitada keisrilõike teel (OR 0,6; 95% uv 0,4–0,9) ning poole võrra väiksema vajadusega vereülekandeks (3,7% versus 6,7%). Nende rauapreparaate tarvitavate rasedate hulgas, kellel aneemiat ei olnud, rauaasendusravi rasedustüsistuste tekkeriski ei vähendanud. Järeldus. Rasedusaegne aneemia seondub erinevate rasedustüsistustega ning rauapreparaatide sihipärane tarvitamine parendab rasedustulemit.

description: We present a very efficient and accurate method to simulate scanning tunneling microscopy images and spectra from first-principles density functional calculations. The wave-functions of the tip and sample are calculated separately on the same footing, and propagated far from the surface using the vacuum Green's function. This allows to express the Bardeen matrix elements in terms of convolutions, and to obtain the tunneling current at all tip positions and bias voltages in a single calculation. The efficiency of the method opens the door to real time determination of both tip and surface composition and structure, by comparing experiments to simulated images for a variety of precomputed tips. Comparison with the experimental topography and spectra of the Si(111)-(7x7) surface show a much better agreement with Si than with W tips, implying that the metallic tip is terminated by silicon.

description: High-quality two-qubit gate operations are crucial for scalable quantum information processing. Often, the gate fidelity is compromised when the system becomes more integrated. Therefore, a low-error-rate, easy-to-scale two-qubit gate scheme is highly desirable. Here, we experimentally demonstrate a new two-qubit gate scheme that exploits fixed-frequency qubits and a tunable coupler in a superconducting quantum circuit. The scheme requires less control lines, reduces crosstalk effect, simplifies calibration procedures, yet produces a controlled-Z gate in 30ns with a high fidelity of 99.5%, derived from the interleaved randomized benchmarking method. Error analysis shows that gate errors are mostly coherence limited. Our demonstration paves the way for large-scale implementation of high-fidelity quantum operations.

description: The management of nonpoint source water pollution presents an immense challenge to economists and policy makers alike. A complex array of physical, economic, political and institutional barriers lie between theoretically appealing textbook prescriptions and their transition into successful real-world solutions. Underlying beliefs about property rights, interest group politics and the transaction costs associated with designing and implementing successful measures have all played a particularly critical role. Building on the theoretical literature and the lessons provided by the practical use of economic instruments for nonpoint source water pollution management around the world, this paper considers these issues in the context of the Swan-Canning river system in Perth. Four innovative economic instruments for the management of nonpoint source nutrient pollution in that system are discussed: auctioned best management practice payments; best management practice incentive charges; an urban nonpoint source emissions offset bank; and a catchment based licensing/trading program.

description: Within the Ginzburg-Landau functional framework for the superconducting transition, we analyze the fluctuation-driven shift of the critical temperature. In addition to the order parameter fluctuations, we also take into account the fluctuations of the vector potential above its vacuum. We detail the approximation scheme to include the fluctuating fields contribution, based on the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov-Popov framework. We give explicit results for $d=2$ and $d=3$ spatial dimensions, in terms of easily accessible experimental parameters such as the Ginzburg-Levanyuk number $\text{Gi}_{(d)}$, which is related to the width of the critical region where fluctuations cannot be neglected, and the Ginzburg-Landau parameter $κ$, defined as the ratio between the magnetic penetration length and the coherence one.

description: During the last decade, the laser trapping technique has been actively applied to elucidate the property of macromolecules, DNA, RNA, cytoskeleton fibres, etc. Due to the inherent difficulty in the direct trapping of single molecules at approximately 300 K, most of the current studies on laser trapping utilize the experimental technique to grasp microbeads that are attached to a single macromolecule, instead of using direct trapping. A few studies have demonstrated the applicability of laser trapping for highly packed compact DNA under a `poor' solvent condition without any beads. The present study achieves laser trapping on a single DNA molecule under a `good' solvent condition without any microbeads. The time-dependent change of the conformation accompanied by ON/OFF laser irradiation was measured and analysed in terms of the entrapment and release of a coiled polymer around a micrometer-sized potential.

description: Data Envelope Analysis, (DEA), a linear programming technique, provides a more consistent measure of efficiency than the commonly cited partial measures of farm efficiency. It yields a relative measure of efficiency and identifies inputs or outputs that are under utilized. In this paper, DEA is used to assess the technical efficiency of a sample of dairy farms across all dairy regions in Australia. Regions vary in size and scale of operation and are examined to see the relationship between farm size and technical efficiency, and to see if there is justification in the move towards bigger dairy production units than currently exist, given their factor mix.

description: Reaction-diffusion equation model for a 2-dimensional gas discharge system is introduced in close relationship with the recent experiment by Nasuno. The model shows formation of spots, molecule-like organization of a cluster of spots, moving of spots, and intermittent collapse and recreation of spots, in agreement with experiments. The pattern dynamics are classified into distributed, localized, and moving spots, and periodic wave pattern. The phase diagram displayed against the current and pressure has some agreement with that observed in the experiment. Dynamic change of spot numbers as well as the structure of the spot cluster is studied in terms of the collective flow of charge, and discussed as chaotic itinerancy.

description: Dryland salinity, as an externality, has an impact on various public assets, including roads, biodiversity and public water supplies. This has been seen as an important justification for government to take action and internalise the pollution. Economic policy instruments have been identified as a potential solution to the problem, as they may achieve environmental goals at least cost to society. This paper presents a spatial and dynamic model which aims to compare economic instruments for land use change to abate the off-site impacts of salinity on public assets. Preliminary research is presented, along with a discussion of the model’s structure.

description: A false expectation based on the notion that it is easy to raise water use efficiency, and that all increases in water use efficiency will also increase net social welfare, will lead to gross underestimation of the economic impact of reduced irrigation allocations in the Murray-Darling Basin. A conventional benefit:cost analysis of policy options founded on an understanding of biophysical processes, sound accounting principles, a knowledge of the appropriate response functions and the economics of best operating conditions will reduce the potential for government failure. Some myths, pitfalls and traps for the unwary analyst or policy maker are outlined.

description: We study the transport and spectral properties of a non-Hermitian one-dimensional disordered lattice, the diagonal matrix elements of which are random complex variables taking both positive (loss) and negative (gain) imaginary values: Their distribution is either the usual rectangular one or a binary pair-correlated one possessing, in its Hermitian version, delocalized states, and unusual transport properties. Contrary to the Hermitian case, all states in our non-Hermitian system are localized. In addition, the eigenvalue spectrum, for the binary pair-correlated case, exhibits an unexpected intricate fractallike structure on the complex plane and with increasing non-Hermitian disorder, the eigenvalues tend to coalesce in particular small areas of the complex plane, a feature termed "eigenvalue condensation". Despite the strong Anderson localization of all eigenstates, the system appears to exhibit transport not by diffusion but by a new mechanism through sudden jumps between states located even at distant sites. This seems to be a general feature of open non-Hermitian random systems. The relation of our findings to recent experimental results is also discussed.

description: The Daintree Rainforest is a prime attraction for Tropical North Queensland as a tourist destination. Visitation of the rainforest, specifically the Cape Tribulation section, has increased rapidly as impediments to self-drive access have been removed. This paper examines the potential for the local council to manage the volume of self-drive access to the Cape Tribulation region by price mechanisms. The assessment is based on estimates of willingness to pay from a contingent valuation survey of self-drive tourists to the region, from which estimates of consumer surplus and demand elasticity are derived. A comprehensive discussion of the social and economic implications and transaction costs of price-based mechanisms is offered.

description: In the contemporary big data realm, Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are evolving towards more complex architectures to achieve higher inference accuracy. Model compression techniques can be leveraged to efficiently deploy such compute-intensive architectures on resource-limited mobile devices. Such methods comprise various hyper-parameters that require per-layer customization to ensure high accuracy. Choosing such hyper-parameters is cumbersome as the pertinent search space grows exponentially with model layers. This paper introduces GeneCAI, a novel optimization method that automatically learns how to tune per-layer compression hyper-parameters. We devise a bijective translation scheme that encodes compressed DNNs to the genotype space. The optimality of each genotype is measured using a multi-objective score based on accuracy and number of floating point operations. We develop customized genetic operations to iteratively evolve the non-dominated solutions towards the optimal Pareto front, thus, capturing the optimal trade-off between model accuracy and complexity. GeneCAI optimization method is highly scalable and can achieve a near-linear performance boost on distributed multi-GPU platforms. Our extensive evaluations demonstrate that GeneCAI outperforms existing rule-based and reinforcement learning methods in DNN compression by finding models that lie on a better accuracy-complexity Pareto curve.
Synthesis of stylized walking controllers for planar bipeds
Creators: name: Sharon, Dana
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: We present a new method for generating controllers for physics-based simulations of planar bipedal walking, targeted towards producing autonomous character behaviors for computer animation. A common criticism of physics-based character animation is the lack of personality and style in the final motion. We develop controllers that mimic a desired style as much as possible, while still subject to the laws of physics and to the realities of maintaining balance. The resulting simulated character can interact with and respond to its environment, unlike the original kinematically-specified desired motion. Walking is a very challenging control task because of its dynamically unstable nature. Continuous balance control is required to prevent the character from falling over or reaching poses from which it cannot recover. The complexity of a walking controller is compounded by high dimensional continuous state and action spaces. Our controller implements a nearest-neighbor control policy with respect to a set of nodes embedded in the state space, and is parameterized by the locations of these nodes and their associated actions. We use greedy search to find an optimized controller given an intuitive objective function. Importantly, several shaping techniques are used to ensure that local minima in the optimization space define good, meaningful solutions. We demonstrate the ability to generate stable walks of various styles, walks for bipeds of varying dimensions, and walks that are robust to unobserved terrain variations.

description: Primaarne kaviteeruv sarkoidoos on harva esinev sarkoidoosi alatüüp, mis visualiseerimisuuringutel väljendub tüüpiliselt tühimikega kopsudes. Haigust võib kergelt segi ajada tuberkuloosi või muude tühimikke tekitavate kopsuhaigustega ning see võib omakorda põhjustada korrektse diagnoosi hilinemist. Artiklis on kirjeldatud haigusjuhtu, kus primaarse kaviteeruva sarkoidoosiga patsiendil, kel algselt esinenud tühimikud kopsudes olid taandunud, tekkisid 8. aastal pärast sarkoidoosi diagnoosimist uued tühimikud, mis haiguse edasises kulus taandusid. Kirjeldatud haigusjuht viitab võimalusele, et taaspöörduvaid kopsude tühimikke võib primaarse kaviteeruva sarkoidoosi korral tekkida ka aastaid pärast haiguse esmast avaldumist.

The magnetic field breaks the spin degeneracy. For special choices of gate voltages the dot levels are tuned to resonance and the orbital Kondo effect results. For different Zeemann splittings at the dots the Kondo resonance can be formed for only one spin channel. In this case the system operates as an efficient spin filter.

description: Clustering measurements of Gravitational Wave (GW) mergers in Luminosity Distance Space can be used in the future as a powerful tool for Cosmology. We consider tomographic measurements of the Angular Power Spectrum of mergers both in an Einstein Telescope-like detector network and in some more advanced scenarios (more sources, better distance measurements, better sky localization). We produce Fisher forecasts for both cosmological (matter and dark energy) and merger bias parameters. Our fiducial model for the number distribution and bias of GW events is based on results from hydrodynamical simulations. The cosmological parameter forecasts with Einstein Telescope are less powerful than those achievable in the near future via galaxy clustering observations with, e.g., Euclid. However, in the more advanced scenarios we see significant improvements. Moreover, we show that bias can be detected at high statistical significance. Regardless of the specific constraining power of different experiments, many aspects make this type of analysis interesting anyway. For example, compact binary mergers detected by Einstein Telescope will extend up to very high redshifts. Furthermore, Luminosity Distance Space Distortions in the GW analysis have a different structure with respect to Redshift-Space Distortions in galaxy catalogues. Finally, measurements of the bias of GW mergers can provide useful insight into their physical nature and properties.

description: Inappropriate antimicrobial use is common in aged-care homes (ACHs). Urinary tract infections (UTIs), respiratory tract infections (RTIs), and infections near the end of life (EoL) are frequent indications for inappropriate antimicrobial use in ACHs. This thesis focuses on antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) activities to optimise antimicrobial use in Australian ACHs. AMS is an ongoing effort to optimise antimicrobial use by health care providers. Specifically, three areas of antimicrobial use in ACHs have been explored: (i) antimicrobial use in UTIs, (ii) nurse-initiated microbiological investigations for RTIs to support optimal antimicrobial prescribing, and (iii) identification of feasible AMS activities for care near the EoL.

description: Auctions are increasingly being considered as a mechanism for allocating conservation contracts to private landowners. This interest is based on the widely held belief that competitive bidding helps minimize information rents. This study constructs an agent-based model to evaluate the long term performance of conservation auctions under settings where bidders are allowed to learn from previous outcomes. The results clearly indicate that the efficiency benefits of one-shot auctions are quickly eroded under dynamic settings. Furthermore, the auction mechanism is found to be inferior to fixed payment schemes except when the latter involve the use of high reserve prices.

description: We study the Kibble-Zurek mechanism in the transverse Ising chain coupled to a dissipative boson bath, making use of a new numerical method with the infinite time evolving block decimation combined with the discrete-time path integral. We first show the ground-state phase diagram and confirm that a quantum phase transition takes place in the presence of the system-bath coupling. Then we present the time dependence of the energy expectation value of the spin Hamiltonian and the scaling of the kink density with respect to the time period over which the spin Hamiltonian crosses a quantum phase transition. The energy of spins starts to grow from the energy at the ground state of the full system near a quantum phase transition. The kink density decays as a power law with respect to the time period. These results confirm that the Kibble-Zurek mechanism happens. We discuss the exponent for the decay of the kink density in comparison with a theoretical result with the quantum Monte-Carlo simulation. A comparison to an experimental study is also briefly mentioned.

description: We present a deep 16.8 ks V-band image of the field of a candidate z=10 galaxy magnified by the foreground (z=0.25) cluster A1835. The image was obtained with FORS1 on VLT-Kueyen to test whether the V-band lies below the Lyman limit for this very high redshift candidate. A detection would unambiguously rule out that the source is at z=10. The 3sigma detection limit of the image in the area of the z=10 candidate is V_AB=28.0 mag in a 2 arcsec diameter aperture (about 3 times the seeing FWHM of 0.7 arcsec). No source at the position of the candidate galaxy is detected down to this limit. Formally, this is consistent with the V-band probing below the Lyman limit in the rest-frame of a z=10 source. However, given the recent non-detection of the object in a deep H-band exposure with NIRI on Gemini North down to H_AB=26.0 mag (3sigma in a 1.4 arcsec aperture) and concerns about the detection of the reported associated emission line, it may be possible that this source is spurious. We discuss several astrophysical possibilities to explain the puzzling nature of this source and find none of them compelling.

description: We investigate the atmospheric composition of the long period ($P_{\rm orb}=$ 10 days), eccentric exo-Saturn WASP-117b. WASP-117b could be in atmospheric temperature and chemistry similar to WASP-107b. In mass and radius WASP-117b is similar to WASP-39b, which allows a comparative study of these planets. We analyze a near-infrared transmission spectrum of WASP-117b taken with Hubble Space Telescope/WFC3 G141, which was reduced with two independent pipelines. High resolution measurements were taken with VLT/ESPRESSO in the optical. We report the robust ($3σ$) detection of a water spectral feature. Using a 1D atmosphere model with isothermal temperature, uniform cloud deck and equilibrium chemistry, the Bayesian evidence of a retrieval analysis of the transmission spectrum indicates a preference for a high atmospheric metallicity ${\rm [Fe/H]}=2.58^{+0.26}_{-0.37}$ and clear skies. The data are also consistent with a lower-metallicity composition ${\rm [Fe/H]}<1.75$ and a cloud deck between $10^{-2.2} - 10^{-5.1}$ bar, but with weaker Bayesian preference. We retrieve a low CH$_4$ abundance of $<10^{-4}$ volume fraction within $1 σ$ and $<2\cdot 10^{-1}$ volume fraction within $3 σ$. We cannot constrain the equilibrium temperature between theoretically imposed limits of 700 and 1000~K. Further observations are needed to confirm quenching of CH$_4$ with $K_{zz}\geq 10^8$~cm$^2$/s. We report indications of Na and K in the VLT/ESPRESSO high resolution spectrum with substantial Bayesian evidence in combination with HST data.

description: Irradiation-induced vacancy evolution in face-centered cubic (FCC) Ni under mechanical strains was studied using molecular dynamics simulations. Applied hydrostatic strain led to different stable forms of vacancy clusters, i.e., voids under strain >= +2% and stacking fault tetrahedras (SFTs) under strain <= 0. Direct transitions between SFT and void revealed that increasing strain magnitude facilitated the thermodynamic stability and dynamical evolution. The estimated free energy difference could well validate the dynamical simulations results by accounting for entropic contribution, which was revealed to play an important role in the thermodynamic stability of vacancy clusters in FCC Ni.

description: SR (synchronizing resources) is a PASCAL - style language enhanced with constructs for concurrent programming developed at the University of Arizona in the late 1980s. MPD (presented in Gregory Andrews' book about Foundations of Multithreaded, Parallel, and Distributed Programming) is its successor, providing the same language primitives with a different syntax. The run-time system (in theory, identical) of both languages provides the illusion of a multiprocessor machine on a single single- or multi- CPU Unix-like system or a (local area) network of Unix-like machines. Chair V of the Computer Science Department of the University of Bonn is operating a laboratory for a practical course in parallel programming consisting of computing nodes running NetBSD/arm, normally used via PVM, MPI etc. We are considering to offer SR and MPD for this, too. As the original language distributions are only targeted at a few commercial Unix systems, some porting effort is needed, outlined in the SR porting guide. The integrated POSIX threads support of NetBSD-2.0 should allow us to use library primitives provided for NetBSD's phtread system to implement the primitives needed by the SR run-time system, thus implementing 13 target CPUs at once and automatically making use of SMP on VAX, Alpha, PowerPC, Sparc, 32-bit Intel and 64 bit AMD CPUs. This paper describes work in progress.

Low dimensional search for efficient texture synthesis
Creators: name: Kimberley, Fred
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Current texture synthesis algorithms rely upon high dimensional approximate nearest neighbour (ANN) searches to determine the best pixel to use at the current position. The feature vectors used in the ANN search are typically between 100 and 300 dimensions. A large amount of research has examined how to reduce the number of feature vectors that need to be searched but very little has been done to speed up the actual comparisons. We present two new texture synthesis algorithms that use an order of magnitude fewer dimensions during the ANN search. In addition, we construct and make use of an error texture that further reduces the time spent comparing two feature vectors.

description: The exhibition of an historical collection related to the ARC DP16 Heritage in the Limelight: The Magic Lantern in Australia and the World was curated by Martyn Jolly and Virginia Rigney, designed by Greer Versteeg, and installed by Gary Smith. The exhibition ran from 10 June to 5 September 2020 The exhibition was supported by an Artist's lecture in the Canberra Museum and Gallery Theatrette on 3 September. We displayed 560 slides in a large light box. Grids of 85x85mm square holes, each and 13mm apart, were laser cut into sheets of 4.5mm black acrylic. These were laid on 3mm clear backing acrylic, loaded with slides arranged in groups and sequences, and topped with a cover sheet of clear 2mm acrylic. The sandwiches were then taped around the edges and vertically held by a wooden frame against the inside doors of four bays a large display case. The front of the doors were covered with self-adhesive black vinyl except for the blocks of slides. The slides were lit from the front by ambient LED light, which allowed visitors to see the labels, and they were backlit through UV filtering film by fluorescent light bounced off the back wall of the case. Interpretative handouts nearby were keyed with thumbnail images to allow visitors to find information and commentary about individual slides and slide sets within the overall grid. As well as square glass slides, wooden mechanical slides were also displayed on glass shelves. These were lit from the front with LED lights, while the transparent painted glass images were lit from behind with electroluminescent panels trimmed down to size from 100mm x 100m sheets. The colour of each EL panel was corrected with an 81a photographic filter, and UV filtered with film. Each sandwich of EL panel, filter and UV film was lightly attached to the rear of the slide with conservation tape and individually wired into a low voltage circuit. These displays were augmented with: Conventional displays of magic lanterns. A circular digital projection on a facing wall introduced visitors to the exhibition, transitioning between text and images. Four video screens showed performance documentation and demonstrating the mechanical slides, chromatropes and panoramic slides. Enlargements of an Australian lantern slide and a Primus slide box.
