Jihadist Groups in North Africa and the Sahel: Between Disintegration, Reconfiguration and Resilience
Creators: name: Lounnas, Djallil
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018
Subjects: Jihadist Groups
Islamic state
Al-Qaeda
Middle East

description: This paper, based on extensive interviews and fieldwork conducted in North Africa and the Sahel, considers the recent evolution of jihadi organizations in this region, and offers analysis of patterns of competition and violence among different jihadi groups. We argue that while there is a clear division between Al-Qaeda-affiliated groups and those linked with the Islamic State (IS), this has never turned into a civil war among them, in contrast to the jihadi groups in the Middle East, who have competed violently, especially Al-Nusra Front and IS. More dangerous, and in the context of the collapse of the Islamic State in the Middle East, we have observed patterns of rapprochement of its North African-Sahelian affiliates with Al-Qaeda-linked groups. This paper also examines the fragmentation of the North African-Sahelian regional states system into two categories: a core of strong states controlling their borders and territories and thus able to contain jihadi groups (Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco), versus the weak and collapsed ones (Libya and the Sahel) which are unable to check the expansion of those groups. To this extent, the paper shows that the resilience of these organizations is influenced both by their own strength and by the weakness of their opponents.

description: By using the scaling method and the Thomas-Fermi and Extended Thomas-Fermi approaches to Relativistic Mean Field Theory the surface contribution to the leptodermous expansion of the finite nuclei incompressibility has been self-consistently computed. The validity of the simplest expansion, which contains volume, volume-symmetry, surface and Coulomb terms, is examined by comparing it with self-consistent results of the finite nuclei incompressibility for some currently used non-linear sigma-omega parameter sets. A numerical estimate of higher-order contributions to the leptodermous expansion, namely the curvature and surface-symmetry terms, is made.

Quantum Zeno and anti-Zeno effects by indirect measurement with finite errors
Creators: name: Koshino, Kazuki

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the quantum Zeno effect and the anti-Zeno effect in the case of `indirect' measurements, where a measuring apparatus does not act directly on an unstable system, for a realistic model with finite errors in the measurement. A general and simple formula for the decay rate of the unstable system under measurement is derived. In the case of a Lorentzian form factor, we calculate the full time evolutions of the decay rate, the response of the measuring apparatus, and the probability of errors in the measurement. It is shown that not only the response time but also the detection efficiency plays a crucial role. We present the prescription for observing the quantum Zeno and anti-Zeno effects, as well as the prescriptions for avoiding or calibrating these effects in general experiments.

The Representation of Numbers in Quantum Mechanics

description: Earlier work on modular arithmetic of k-ary representations of length L of the natural numbers in quantum mechanics is extended here to k-ary representations of all natural numbers, and to integers and rational numbers. Since the length L is indeterminate, representations of states and operators using creation and annihilation operators for bosons and fermions are defined. Emphasis is on definitions and properties of operators corresponding to the basic operations whose properties are given by the axioms for each type of number. The importance of the requirement of efficient implementability for physical models of the axioms is emphasized. Based on this, successor operations for each value of j corresponding to addition of k^{j-1} if j>0 and k^{j} if j<0 are defined. It follows from the efficient implementability of these successors, which is the case for all computers, that implementation of the addition and multiplication operators, which are defined in terms of polynomially many iterations of the successors, should be efficient. This is not the case for definitions based on the successor for j=1 only. This is the only successor defined in the usual axioms of arithmetic.

description: Foam properties and surface dilational rheology of single and mixed LHSB (lauramidopropyl hydroxyl sulfobetaine)-OAB (oleic amide propyl betaine) surfactants were measured to investigate the synergism between the two components. Experimental results showed obvious synergistic effects in foam stability, dilational modulus, and phase angle between LHSB and OAB. Moreover, interaction parameters were calculated to quantitatively characterize the synergism. The negative interaction parameters between LHSB and OAB demonstrated that there was an attractive interaction between LHSB and OAB, and the attractive interaction contributed to forming the dense surfactant layer at the liquid/air layer, which in turn improved foam stability. The negative values of parameters reached their maximum when the LHSB: OAB molar ratio ranged from 1:1 to 1:2, the same time the foam stability reached its maximum. The interaction between LHSB and OAB was confirmed by 2D NOSEY (two-dimensional nuclear overhauser enhancement spectroscopy) experiments, the interaction between LHSB and OAB could be attributed to the hydrogen bonding or the electrostatic interaction between the hydrophilic groups of the two surfactants.
Quantum Optimization for Combinatorial Searches

description: I propose a "quantum annealing" heuristic for the problem of combinatorial search among a frustrated set of states characterized by a cost function to be minimized. The algorithm is probabilistic, with postselection of the measurement result. A unique parameter playing the role of an effective temperature governs the computational load and the overall quality of the optimization. Any level of accuracy can be reached with a computational load independent of the dimension {\it N} of the search set by choosing the effective temperature correspondingly low. This is much better than classical search heuristics, which typically involve computation times growing as powers of log({\it N})

Synaesthesia and the creative process: a study of its inspiration in Scriabin’s "Prometheus"
Creators: name: Harper, Jessica
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2012

description: The role of synaesthesia in composition is difficult to assess, but for those who possess it synaesthesia is an inherent source of inspiration. It is not a compositional tool as such, yet synaesthesia is fundamental to the creative and compositional processes of certain artists. The term synaesthesia describes various multi-sensory experiences of artistic expression. Though many are riveted by synaesthesia, there is a lot of literature dismissing it as a gimmick used by artists and composers to increase their popularity among audiences. Synaesthesia, however, has been integral to the compositional processes of composers such as Olivier Messiean, Michael Torke and specifically Alexandre Scriabin. The pieces written by Scriabin were expressions of what he saw, tasted and felt when hearing music. There would not be a Prometheus: The Poem of Fire if Scriabin had not harnessed his synaesthesia to inform his compositional process. This paper will cover several topics in relation to synaesthesia. Firstly synaesthesia will be defined and its historical background will briefly be discussed. Information on academic interest and inventors will follow, shedding light on the research that has already been conducted in this field. This paper will then explore the impact that synaesthesia has on the artistic community and on the lives of particular composers; namely Michael Torke and Alexandre Scriabin. The second section will specifically cover Scriabin’s composition Prometheus. It will be analysed from a synaesthetic point of view, both from the author’s perspective and that of Scriabin, which will take the paper to its conclusion. This paper contributes to a developing academic sector that deals with synaesthesia and how it has been treated over time; with a view to explains its role and impact on musical composition.

description: Green functions in a quantum field theory can be expanded as bivariate series in the coupling and a scale parameter. The leading logs are given by the main diagonal of this expansion, i.e. the subseries where the coupling and the scale parameter appear to the same power; then the next-to leading logs are listed by the next diagonal of the expansion, where the power of the coupling is incremented by one, and so on. We give a general method for deriving explicit formulas and asymptotic estimates for any next-to$^k$ leading-log expansion for a large class of single scale Green functions. These Green functions are solutions to Dyson-Schwinger equations that are known by previous work to be expressible in terms of chord diagrams. We look in detail at the Green function for the fermion propagator in massless Yukawa theory as one example, and the Green function of the photon propagator in quantum electrodynamics as a second example, as well as giving general theorems. Our methods are combinatorial, but the consequences are physical, giving information on which terms dominate and on the dichotomy between gauge theories and other quantum field theories.

description: The notion of a "point" is essential to describe the topology of spacetime. Despite this, a point probably does not play a particularly distinguished role in any intrinsic formulation of string theory. We discuss one way to try to determine the notion of a point from a worldsheet point of view. The derived category description of D-branes is the key tool. The case of a flop is analyzed and Pi-stability in this context is tied in to some ideas of Bridgeland. Monodromy associated to the flop is also computed via Pi-stability and shown to be consistent with previous conjectures.

description: This document is submitted in conjunction with a creative portfolio of audio recordings for the Doctorate of Musical Arts program at Griffith University. An analysis of chamber music production from a practicing pianist’s perspective is at the core of this research. From a personalised viewpoint it explores the unique set of skills that a chamber music pianist calls upon for their work, specifically those distinct from the pianist in the role of soloist or accompanist. This practice-led project combines self-reflexive writing with data drawn from semi-structured interviews with fourteen international professional pianists. Overall, this research was driven by a desire to induce appreciation of the complex and demanding occupation of the chamber music pianist and the skills required to master this role. It aims to add to the currently limited information available on the subject and demonstrate why focused, distinct study of the skills needed for the preparing, rehearsing and performing of chamber music should be seen as an indispensable part of any pianist’s education.

description: The Oslo Method has been applied to particle-$γ$ coincidences following the $^{239}\mathrm{Pu}$(d,p) reaction to obtain the nuclear level density (NLD) and $γ$-ray strength function ($γ$SF) of $^{240}\mathrm{Pu}$. The experiment was conducted with a 12 MeV deuteron beam at the Oslo Cyclotron Laboratory. The low spin transfer of this reaction leads to a spin-parity mismatch between populated and intrinsic levels. This is a challenge for the Oslo Method as it can have a significant impact on the extracted NLD and $γ$SF. We have developed an iterative approach to ensure consistent results even for cases with a large spin-parity mismatch, in which we couple Green's Function Transfer calculations of the spin-parity dependent population cross-section to the nuclear decay code RAINIER. The resulting $γ$SF shows a pronounced enhancement between 2-4 MeV that is consistent with the location of the low-energy orbital $M1$ scissors mode.

description: The use of statistical fluctuations as probes of the microscopic dynamics of hot and dense hadronic matter is reviewed. Critical fluctuations near the critical point of QCD matter are predicted to enhance fluctuations in pionic observables. Chemical fluctuations, especially those of locally conserved quantum numbers, such as electric charge and baryon number, can probe the nature of the carriers of these quantum numbers in the dense medium.

description: We investigate the QCD phase diagram for nonzero background magnetic fields using first-principles lattice simulations. At the physical point (in terms of quark masses), the thermodynamics of this system is controlled by two opposing effects: magnetic catalysis (enhancement of the quark condensate) at low temperature and inverse magnetic catalysis (reduction of the condensate) in the transition region. While the former is known to be robust and independent of the details of the interactions, inverse catalysis arises as a result of a delicate competition, effective only for light quarks. By performing simulations at different quark masses, we determine the pion mass above which inverse catalysis does not take place in the transition region anymore. Even for pions heavier than this limiting value - where the quark condensate undergoes magnetic catalysis - our results are consistent with the notion that the transition temperature is reduced by the magnetic field. These findings will be useful to guide low-energy models and effective theories of QCD.

We prove that for a generic multi-field inflationary potential, the probability that the inflaton reaches infinitely far regions in the field space is critically dependent on the number of fields, being nonzero for more than two fields, and zero otherwise. We also provide several examples where the boundary crossing probability can be calculated exactly, most notably, for a particular landscape of a two-field model with a multi-well potential.

description: A sensitive method termed rapid synergistic cloud point extraction (RS-CPE) combined with partial least squares (PLS) was developed for the extraction and simultaneous determination of trace amounts of phenol and three detrimental chlorophenols (CPs) via a microplate assay (MPA). In this study, n-pentanol was used as a novel synergistic inducer and the linear nonionic surfactant Tergitol 15-S-7 was used as an extractant. The whole process of RS-CPE was accomplished in a few minutes without the need for the time-consuming water- or ice-bath steps used in traditional cloud point extraction. An automated and high-throughput assay using a 96-well plate allowed for the simultaneous processing of multiple samples with low sample volume requirements (approximately 200 µL). However, synchronized determination of several CPs using MPA method was problematic because of spectral interferences. Fortunately, a multivariate calibration method using PLS was applied to circumvent these limitations. Under the optimum conditions, the linear dynamic concentration ranges were from 0.5 to 15 µg/mL for 2-chlorophenol and 0.5 to 20 µg/mL for the other analytes. The detection limit range was from 0.275 to 0.419 µg/mL. The enrichment factor was up to 15.4 fold. The developed methodology was successfully applied to quantitative analysis of phenol and three CPs in water samples with recoveries from 90.0% to 109%.

V e r b r e i t u n g (nach164, 126): Süd-Finnland (HEL, PAR), Schweden (bis Gällivare) (STO, ZSM), Süd-Norwegen (MÜN), Russland (Ukhta, Kaukasus) (PET), Weissrussland (MIN), Polen (SAW, WAR), Tschechien (Böhmen) (LIN), Deutschland (BER, DES, HOR, LIN, MÜN, SNE, ZSM), Niederlande (LEI, ZWA), Grossbritannien (England, Schottland) (EDI, LEI), Frankreich (LIN, PAR, ZSM, ZWA), Spanien (Pyrenäen) (SWA, ZSM), Schweiz (ZSM), Österreich (BER, LIN, SWA, ZSM, ZWA), Nord-Italien (TOR, ZSM), Ungarn (SAW, WAR, ZSM), Rumänien (JAŞ), Moldavien (KIS, PET), Ukraine (KIS, PET), Bulgarien (SOF, ZSM); bis Ost-Sibirien. Flugperiode: Mai bis September.
 L e b e n s w e i s e Wirte: Ematurga atomaria (LINNAEUS) (14 Serien; Deutschland, Grossbritannien) (EDI, ZSM) (HINZ 1962: 10; 1990: 265 f.), Isturgia roraria (FABRICIUS) (1, Deutschland) (ZSM) (Geometridae). Beide Wirtsarten sind bivoltin mit Raupenzeiten von Mai bis Juli und von August bis September, Raupen von E. atomaria leben polyphag an Kräutern und Zwergsträuchern (vor allem auf Heiden und Mooren), Raupen von I. roraria an Genista und Sarothamnus. D. sobolicida ist wahrscheinlich auch bivoltin. Wirtsraupen wurden zwischen Juli und September gesammelt, und die Zuchten ergaben teilweise vier bis sechs Wochen später, teilweise zwischen Mai und Juli des folgenden Jahres Parasiten-Imagines. Die Art überwintert im eigenen Kokon. In der Ostpaläarktis (Altayskiy Kray) wird als Wirt Serraca punctinalis (SCOPOLI) (Geometridae) angegeben (HINZ & HORSTMANN 2004: 156), für die Westpaläarktis fehlt eine Bestätigung dieser Wirtsbeziehung.

Locality in the Everett Interpretation of Heisenberg-Picture Quantum Mechanics

description: Bell's theorem depends crucially on counterfactual reasoning, and is mistakenly interpreted as ruling out a local explanation for the correlations which can be observed between the results of measurements performed on spatially-separated quantum systems. But in fact the Everett interpretation of quantum mechanics, in the Heisenberg picture, provides an alternative local explanation for such correlations. Measurement-type interactions lead, not to many worlds but, rather, to many local copies of experimental systems and the observers who measure their properties. Transformations of the Heisenberg-picture operators corresponding to the properties of these systems and observers, induced by measurement interactions, "label" each copy and provide the mechanism which, e.g., ensures that each copy of one of the observers in an EPRB or GHZM experiment will only interact with the "correct" copy of the other observer(s). The conceptual problem of nonlocality is thus replaced with a conceptual problem of proliferating labels, as correlated systems and observers undergo measurement-type interactions with newly-encountered objects and instruments; it is suggested that this problem may be resolved by considering quantum field theory rather than the quantum mechanics of particles.

description: We analyze the spectrum of the bosonic and superstring on the orbifold of the space-time by a boost, leading to the cosmological singularity. We show that the modular invariance leads to the spectrum where the twisted sector tachyon, together with all other twisted sector fields, present in the Euclidean version of the orbifold, is absent. This makes impossible to resolve the singularity by a marginal deformation of the worldsheet CFT. We also establish a relation between the resolution of rotational orbifolds in Euclidean and Lorentzian setups, and quantum groups. The analysis confirms the impossibility of resolving the cosmological orbifold singularity.

 L e b e n s w e i s e Wirte: Selidosema brunnearium (DE VILLERS) (Geometridae) (1; Grossbritannien (LON), Cucullia sp. (Noctuidae) (1; Frankreich) (LIN). S. brunnearium ist univoltin, die Raupen leben polyphag an Kräutern, mit einer Raupenzeit von September bis Juli (die junge Raupe überwintert). Das einzige aus diesem Wirt gezogene ist im April geschlüpft. Cucullia -Arten sind ebenfalls univoltin, überwintern aber als Puppe, und die Raupen leben etwa von Juni bis September an verschiedenen Kräutern. Das einzige gezogene Parasiten- ist im Mai geschlüpft. Möglicherweise ist der Parasit univoltin, belegt die Raupen beider Wirtsarten zwischen Mai und Juli, tötet sie im Sommer und überwintert im eigenen Kokon. Ein Nachweis für diese Annahme fehlt.

title: Employer Attitude/Behaviour Matters: Impact of Employer Attitude/Behaviour on Indigenous Employees' Skill Acquisition and Employment Experience in the Australian Mining and Finance/Banking Sectors.

description: This thesis investigates employer attitude/behaviour and its impact on Indigenous Australians’ skill acquisition and employment experience in the mining and banking industries. The current Indigenous employment literature has a limited number of studies on demand-side factors focusing on the demand for Indigenous workers and the characteristics of employers, such as how they perceive and treat Indigenous workers. This study adds to the emerging body of research with its focus on labour market discrimination and labour market segmentation as a result of employer attitude/behaviour to explain the employment disadvantage experienced by many Indigenous Australians. The study employed mixed methods to understand the phenomenon of Indigenous employment disadvantage in the context of the mining and banking organisations. The mixed-method approach included participatory observation, in-depth interviews conducted with a total of 29 management and 11 Indigenous employees across the four organisations, focus group discussions with 28 Indigenous employees, relevant document analysis, and a self-administered questionnaire that included 46 items distributed to a random sample of 278 employees. The key findings of this study confirm that systemic racism is embedded in the employment and training system of organisations, which is reflected in the barriers faced by Indigenous trainees/employees in entering and progressing through the labour market. Hence, the negative impacts lead to their low participation in the labour market. Furthermore, the study reveals the failure of executive management to take Indigenous employment seriously by embedding it as a goal throughout the organisation. This is reflected in the ‘silo approach’ to Indigenous employment, low recruitment rates, and high turnover rates that act as a ‘red flag’, indicating an attitude/behaviour of prejudice, ignorance, thoughtlessness and racist stereotyping that may exist in these workplaces. This finding is significant, as detailed empirical evidence shows that the mechanisms that re-produce racial inequalities between Indigenous and non-Indigenous groups in the case study organisations are institutional and embedded in the employment relations and human resource systems, policies and practices of these organisations, thus explaining poor employment outcomes and, in particular, low Indigenous participation in the labour market.

description: The Cox proportional hazards model is ubiquitous in the analysis of time-to-event data. However, when the data dimension p is comparable to the sample size $N$, maximum likelihood estimates for its regression parameters are known to be biased or break down entirely due to overfitting. This prompted the introduction of the so-called regularized Cox model. In this paper we use the replica method from statistical physics to investigate the relationship between the true and inferred regression parameters in regularized multivariate Cox regression with L2 regularization, in the regime where both p and N are large but with p/N ~ O(1). We thereby generalize a recent study from maximum likelihood to maximum a posteriori inference. We also establish a relationship between the optimal regularization parameter and p/N, allowing for straightforward overfitting corrections in time-to-event analysis.
Losing ground? Issues of autonomy in an Urban Indigenous Organisation.
Creators: name: Adams, Elise Katharine
Publisher: name: The Australian National University

description: This thesis offers an ethnographic study of one urban Aboriginal organisation, Winanga-Li Aboriginal Corporation; a successful human service agency struggling against the socioeconomic disadvantage faced by Aboriginal Australians. The thesis argues that the difficulties faced by Winanga-Li stem not from Indigenous incapacity, but rather from government policies that maintain Indigenous oppression. Three interwoven theoretical strands serve to explicate this thesis: those of post-colonialism, identity politics, and neoliberalism within contemporary government bureaucracies. Essential to this theoretical framework is the exploration of power relationships between Indigenous Australians and the State. These power relationships not only bear upon Indigenous interactions with other Australians and each other, but also upon both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples' constructions of Indigenous culture, tradition and behaviour. Australian governments have a poor track record of interacting and consulting with urban Indigenous collectives. This, coupled with the centralised top-down design and development of Indigenous-specific human services, results in the programs intended to ameliorate Indigenous disadvantage producing negligible outcomes. Further frustrating efforts to improve the socioeconomic outcomes of Indigenous Australians is governments' preferred approach for funding a small number of large non-Indigenous organisations to provide Indigenous-specific human services. Although such organisations have little experience with the Indigenous clients they intend to serve - or credibility in their eyes - these organisations are increasingly being awarded Indigenous service funding through neoliberal tendering processes, since their structure and ideology aligns with those of the State. As a result, Indigenous-controlled organisations are being coerced into adopting an economic imperialist outlook or risk being defunded; thus losing the organic governance culture that has uniquely been producing results in reducing Indigenous disadvantage. While Australian governments openly acknowledge the egregious disadvantage Indigenous Australians face when compared with their non-Indigenous counterparts, and attempt to decrease it largely through the delivery of Indigenous-specific human services, their policies have failed and are continuing to fail. Evidence demands a new approach to the funding and design of Indigenous-specific human services if positive outcomes are to be achieved, and this thesis puts forth plausible recommendations for more effective Indigenous human service delivery.
