description: We investigated the electronic structure of monolayer VTe2 grown on bilayer graphene by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). We found that monolayer VTe2 takes the octahedral 1T structure in contrast to the monoclinic one in the bulk, as evidenced by the good agreement in the Fermi-surface topology between ARPES results and first-principles band calculations for octahedral monolayer 1T-VTe2. We have revealed that monolayer 1T-VTe2 at low temperature is characterized by a metallic state whereas the nesting condition is better than that of isostructural monolayer VSe2 which undergoes a CDW transition to insulator at low temperature. The present result suggests an importance of Fermi-surface topology for characterizing the CDW properties of monolayer TMDs.

description: The winding problem concerns understanding the regularity of functions which map a line segment onto a spiral. This problem has relevance in fluid dynamics and conformal welding theory, where spirals arise naturally. Here we interpret `regularity' in terms of Hölder exponents and establish sharp results for spirals with polynomial winding rates, observing that the sharp Hölder exponent of the forward map and its inverse satisfy a formula reminiscent of Sobolev conjugates. We also investigate the dimension theory of these spirals, in particular, the Assouad dimension, Assouad spectrum and box dimensions. The aim here is to compare the bounds on the Hölder exponents in the winding problem coming directly from knowledge of dimension (and how dimension distorts under Hölder image) with the sharp results. We find that the Assouad spectrum provides the best information, but that even this is not sharp. We also find that the Assouad spectrum is the only `dimension' which distinguishes between spirals with different polynomial winding rates in the superlinear regime.

description: Quantum resource theories offer a powerful framework for studying various phenomena in quantum physics. Despite considerable effort has been devoted to developing a unified framework of resource theories, there are few common properties that hold for all quantum resources. In this paper, we fill this gap by introducing the flag additivity based on the tensor product structure and the flag basis for the general quantum resources. To illustrate the usefulness of flag additivity, we show that flag additivity can be used to derive other nontrivial properties in quantum resource theories, e.g., strong monotonicity, convexity, and full additivity.

On the fallback disk around the slowest isolated pulsar, 1E 161348$-$5055

description: The central compact object 1E 161348$-$5055 in the supernova remnant RCW 103 has a spin period $\sim 6.67$ hr, making it the slowest isolated pulsar. It is believed that a supernova fallback disk is required to spin down the neutron star to the current spin period within a few $10^3$ yr. The mass of the fallback disk around newborn neutron stars can provide useful information on the supernova processes and the possible detection limit with optical/infrared observations. However, it is controversial how massive the disk is in the case of 1E 161348$-$5055. In this work we simulate the spin evolution of a magnetar that is driven by the interaction between the disk and the star's magnetic field. Compared with previous studies, we take into account various critical conditions that affect the formation and evolution of the fallback disk. Our calculation shows that we can reproduce the extremely slow spin of 1E 161348$-$5055 when taking the initial disk mass $M_{\rm d} \sim 10^{-7} M_{\odot}$ and the neutron star magnetic field $B\geq 5 \times 10^{15}$ G. This implies that 1E 161348$-$5055 may be a magnetar with very special initial parameters. However, if future observations reveal more objects like 1E 161348$-$5055, then stringent constraints can be obtained on the supernova fallback.

description: The main aim of this thesis is to examine the Salisbury Breviary from the point of view of "the picture in service of text and patron". The breviary is defined as a text. and the Salisbury Breviary identified as an exceptionally richly decorated example of the genre, made in Paris during the second quarter of the fifteenth century, but written for the use of Sarum, and intended for the personal use of the Duke of Bedford, then regent in France for the infant king of England, Henry VI. In terms of the elements contributing to the hierarchy of decoration of its sanctoral, communal and temporal (the psalter is missing), the Salisbury Breviary is shown to be the culminating example of a well-established tradition in Paris for the decoration and illumination of breviaries, represented by such major precursors as the Breviary of Charles V. the Chateauroux and Orgemont Breviaries, and the Breviary of Jean sans Peur. By contrast, the decorative forms used in the Salisbury Breviary are shown to reflect experiments conducted by the Bedford, Boucicaut and Rohan workshops in luxury books of hours rather than breviaries, in order pictorially to enhance their function as manuscripts for lay devotional use. The use of such devices in the Salisbury Breviary, which resulted in a unique series of visual glosses to the, text of the divine office, is explained with particular reference to the cross-cultural nature of the commission.

We apply similar considerations at the level of elementary particles in a formulation using General Relativity, and deduce the presence of short range forces. A possible candidate could be the somewhat recently detected but otherwise mysterious short range $B_{(3)}$ force, mediated by massive "photons".

description: The channel is one of the five critical components of a communication system, and its ergodic capacity is based on all realizations of statistic channel model. This statistical paradigm has successfully guided the design of mobile communication systems from 1G to 5G. However, this approach relies on offline channel measurements in specific environments, and the system passively adapts to new environments, resulting in deviation from the optimal performance. With the pursuit of higher capacity and data rate of 6G, especially facing the ubiquitous environments, there is an urgent need for a new paradigm to combat the randomness of channel, i.e., more proactive and online manner. Motivated by this, we propose an environment intelligence communication (EIC) based on wireless environmental information theory (WEIT) for 6G. The proposed EIC architecture is composed of three steps: Firstly, wireless environmental information (WEI) is acquired using sensing techniques. Then, leveraging WEI and channel data, AI techniques are employed to predict channel fading, thereby mitigating channel uncertainty. Thirdly, the communication system autonomously determines the optimal air-interface transmission strategy based on real-time channel predictions, enabling intelligent interaction with the physical environment. To make this attractive paradigm shift from theory to practice, we answer three key problems to establish WEIT for the first time. How should WEI be defined? Can it be quantified? Does it hold the same properties as statistical communication information? Furthermore, EIC aided by WEI (EIC-WEI) is validated across multiple air-interface tasks, including CSI prediction, beam prediction, and radio resource management. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed EIC-WEI significantly outperforms the statistical paradigm in decreasing overhead and performance optimization.

description: The adhesive behaviour of biological attachment structures such as spider web anchorages is usually studied using single or multiple peeling models involving "tapes", i.e. one-dimensional contacts elements. This is an oversimplification for many practical problems, since the actual delamination process requires the modelling of complex two-dimensional adhesive elements. To achieve this, we develop a numerical approach to simulate the detachment of an elastic membrane of finite size from a substrate, using a 3D cohesive law. The model is validated using existing analytical results for simple geometries, and then applied in a series of parametric studies. Results show how the pull-off force can be tuned or optimized by varying different geometrical or mechanical parameters in various loading scenarios, and the length of the detachment boundary, known as the peeling line, emerges as the key factor to maximize adhesion. The approach presented here can allow a better understanding of the mechanical behaviour of biological adhesives with complex geometries or with material anisotropies, highlighting the interaction between the stress distributions at the interface and in the membrane itself.

The directed, elliptic and third flows are calculated analytically. The mass dependences of the slope parameters in the principal directions of the expansion, together with the mass and angular dependences of the HBT radius parameters, reflect directly the ellipsoidal properties of the flow.

description: Metastable (1s)(2s) $^3{\rm S}_1$ helium atoms produced in a supersonic beam were excited to Rydberg-Stark states (with $n$ in the $27-30$ range) in a cryogenic environment and subsequently decelerated by, and trapped above, a surface-electrode decelerator. In the trapping experiments, the Rydberg atoms were brought to rest in 75~$μ$s and over a distance of 33~mm and kept stationary for times $t_{\mathrm{trap}}$ in the $0-525$~$μ$s range, before being re-accelerated for detection by pulsed field ionization. The use of a home-built valve producing short gas pulses with a duration of about 20~$μ$s enabled the reduction of losses arising from collisions with atoms in the trailing part of the gas pulses. Cooling the decelerator to 4.7~K further suppressed losses by transitions induced by blackbody radiation and by collisions with atoms desorbing from the decelerator surface. The main contribution (60\%) to the atom loss during deceleration is attributed to the escape out of the decelerator moving traps of atoms having energies higher than the trap saddle point, spontaneous emission and collisions with atoms in the trailing part of the gas pulses causing each only about 20\% of the atom loss. At 4.7 K, the atom losses in the trapping phase of the experiments were found to be almost exclusively caused by spontaneous emission and the trap lifetimes were found to correspond to the natural lifetimes of the Rydberg-Stark states. Increasing the temperature to 100 K enhanced the trap losses by transitions stimulated by blackbody radiation.

description: Recent SNO results strongly favour the large mixing angle (LMA) MSW solar solution. We argue that there are only two technically natural low energy neutrino mass matrix structures consistent with the LMA MSW solution, corresponding to either a hierarchy or an inverted hierarchy with pseudo-Dirac neutrinos. We first present a model-independent analysis in which we diagonalise each of these two mass matrix structures to leading order in $θ_{13}$ and extract the neutrino masses, mixing angles and phases. In this analysis we express the MNS matrix to leading order in the small angle $θ_{13}$ including the neutrino {\em and} charged lepton mixing angles and phases, the latter playing a crucial rôle for allowing the inverted hierarchy case to be consistent with the LMA MSW solution. We then consider the see-saw mechanism with right-handed neutrino dominance and show how the successful neutrino mass matrix structures may be constructed with no tuning and with small radiative corrections, leading to a full, partial or inverted neutrino mass hierarchy. In each case we derive approximate analytic relations between the input see-saw parameters and the resulting neutrino masses, mixing angles and phases, which will provide a useful guide for unified model building. For the hierarchical cases the LMA MSW solution gives a soft lower bound $|U_{e3}|\simgt 0.1$, just below the current CHOOZ limit. Both hierarchical and inverted hierarchical cases predict small $ββ_{0ν}$ with $|m_{ee}|\sim 0.01$ eV within the sensitivity of future proposals such as GENIUS. Successful leptogenesis is possible if the dominant right-handed neutrino is the heaviest one, but the leptogenesis phase is unrelated to the MNS phases.

description: Out-of-equilibrium electron-gas systems exhibit rich physics, which we explore through three problems. First, we study photoemission from metals, traditionally analyzed in the frequency domain. Unexpectedly, the photoemission rate oscillates at high frequencies as it decays, with the oscillation amplitude decaying faster than the average current. Analytical and numerical results reveal this behavior arises from interference between two excitation processes: one decaying via the Doniach-Sunjic power law and the other following the faster Nozières-De Dominicis law. XPS experiments targeting this feature could identify its frequency-domain counterpart. Second, we examine adiabaticity in an electron gas subject to a localized potential ramping up at a constant rate. Analytical and numerical findings map the parameter space where the system behaves adiabatically. Contrary to the Quantum Adiabatic Criterion, which links adiabaticity to slow ramp-up rates, we show that the number of energy scales involved in screening the potential dictates non-adiabaticity. Lastly, we investigate the collision of a neutral hydrogen atom with a copper surface. Electron transfer ionizes the H atom, activating an image-charge potential that pulls the ion toward the surface. Using a spinless model, we numerically track the atomic wave packets evolution and compute the sticking coefficient, the probability the atom remains near the surface. The coefficient peaks near 300 meV, balancing non-adiabatic contributions, which increase with energy, and the traversal time through the interaction region. Numerical results align semi-quantitatively with experimental data.

description: We propose a scheme to enhance the range and precision of ultralow temperature measurements by employing a probe qubit coupled to a chain of ancilla qubits. Specifically, we analyze a qubit chain governed by Heisenberg $XX$ and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interactions. The precision limits of temperature measurements are characterized through the evaluation of quantum Fisher information (QFI). Our findings demonstrate that the achievable precision bounds, as well as the number of peaks in the QFI as a function of temperature, can be controlled by adjusting the number of ancilla qubits and the system's model parameters. These results are interpreted in terms of the influence of energy transitions on the range and the number of QFI peaks as a function of temperature. This study highlights the potential of the probe qubit-ancilla chain system as a powerful and precise tool for quantum thermometry in the ultralow temperature regime.

description: The thesis examines the functions of the AustraliaJapan Business Cooperation Committee (AJBCC) and the Japan-Australia Business Cooperation Committee (JABCC) in · the context of mechanisms used by the business communi ties in both countries to expand communication with foreign countries. It also evaluates the role of the committees in the development of Australia-Japan relations. The concept of private economic diplomacy is used to explain how the significance of each committee in its own domestic environment reflected the importance of the other country as a trading partner. How each committee functioned as an instrument of private economic diplomacy was influenced by the structure of business representation in each country. In particular, the characteristics of the individuals who took the ini tiative in establishing the committees and the peak business organisations that provided administrative backup for the committees tended to determine the limits of committee activities. The two committees made different inputs into their own business communi ties. The AJBCC made an important impact on the development of Australia's private economic diplomacy by introducing the concept of an organised, cross-sectoral approach to foreign countries. fvlany similar commi ttees wi th other countries were later established modelled on the AJBCC. Involvement of these committees in Australia's foreign policy formulation and implementation, however, was limited, mainly because of the service-orientated nature of their umbrella organisations. The AJBCC established more formalised operations and contacts with its own government than the JABCC. The inauguration of the JABCC was significant step in the evolution of Japan's private economic diplomacy, because it represented the establishment of a permanent channel of communication with a foreign country. Throughout its history, the JABCC continued to raise issues at joint meetings with the AJBCC, which strongly reflected the basic goals of Japan's private economic diplomacy at the time. The domestic impact of the JABCC, however, was relatively minor. Compared with other business cooperation committees in Japan, less emphasis was given to domestic political functions in the operation of the JABCC. Both committees' activities centred on holding joint meetings, which provided a channel between the two legitimate communication countries and important opportuni ties for business leaders to extend their personal contacts. The two committees also acted as a medium of communication between the Australian and Japanese governments. As time went by this channel became relatively less significant.

These axially symmetric stationary spinning solutions of the minimally coupled Einstein-Klein-Gordon theory provide yet another example of bound states in synchronous rotation with the event horizon. We discuss the properties of these parity-odd hairy black holes and boson stars and exhibit their domain of existence. Considering the ergo-regions of these hairy black holes, we show that apart from the previously discussed ergo-sphere and ergo-Saturn, they support a new type of composite ergo-surfaces with the topology of a double-torus-Saturn $(S^1\times S^1)\bigoplus(S^1\times S^1)\bigoplus S^2$.

description: This study relates the social-demographic characteristics of urban Chinese consumers to their consumption of fluid milk. A Tobit model is estimated drawing on individual consumer survey data collected in urban Qingdao in China in 2005. The major results of this study indicate that fluid milk consumption in urban Qingdao is much higher compared to China’s national level. The effect of increased income on milk consumption is positive, as expected. The expansion of modern food retailers also appears to play a positive role by facilitating consumers’ fluid milk consumption and influencing their food shopping patterns. The young and old consume significantly more fluid milk than the middle-aged. Health consciousness of the elderly and the openness of youth to new foods appear to be fuelling these consumption patterns. If the findings of this study apply to other urban regions in China, then as urbanisation continues so also will the trend of increasing fluid milk consumption in China.

description: This study focused on investigating marketing channels and marketing strategies used by the New York sweet corn industry. In Spring 2001, a survey was conducted with vegetable growers in New York State. This report included responses from 482 New York vegetable farms which produced sweet corn in 2000. These respondents had total production acreage of 37,786 acres (67 percent of the state’s total) and a total production value of $38.9 million (57 percent of the state’s total). Among the respondents, 369 (77 percent) produced sweet corn mainly for the fresh market (with more than 75 percent of sweet corn produced sold for fresh use). The rest of the growers surveyed (113 or 23 percent) produced sweet corn mainly for the processing market (with more than 75 percent of sweet corn produced sold for processing). No respondents fell in the middle.

description: Although there have been numerous studies on the economics of weed control, relatively few of these studies have focused on natural ecosystems. The aims of this papers are: A) to identify the combination of control options that is optimal for blackberry (Rubus anglocandicans) in Australian natural ecosystems, B) to assess whether an integrated control strategy is superior to chemical-only strategies, C) to evaluate the economic net benefits of specific biologically oriented control methods (a rust and grazing by goats), D) to determine how changes in model parameters affect the optimal control strategy. To address these aims, a stochastic dynamic simulation model and a stochastic dynamic programming model are developed. The results indicate that, while an integrated strategy combining chemical and non-chemical control methods may be optimal in certain circumstances, it is not necessarily superior to a chemical-dominant strategy in all cases. Results show that in most cases a combination of herbicides and one physical control method (mowing) is optimal in the base-case scenario. However, if chemical efficacy is greater than in the base-case, the optimal strategy involves chemicals only. The results indicate that grazing goats for control of blackberry can be optimal despite its stochastic effectiveness and relatively low efficacy.

description: We consider the production of the J/psi mesons in heavy ion collisions at RHIC energies in the statistical coalescence model with an exact (canonical ensemble) charm conservation. The c\bar{c} quark pairs are assumed to be created in the primary hard parton collisions, but the formation of the open and hidden charm particles takes place at the hadronization stage and follows the prescription of statistical mechanics. The dependence of the J/psi production on both the number of nucleon participants and the collision energy is studied. The model predicts the J/psi suppression for low energies, whereas at the highest RHIC energy the model reveals the J/psi enhancement.

Prediction of Three-body $B^0\to ρ^-p\bar{n}, π^-p\bar{n}$ Decay Rates

description: We predict the rates of the charmless three-body $B^0\to ρ^-p\bar{n}$ and $π^-p\bar{n}$ modes due to weak vector current contributions to be $\sim 4\times 10^{-6}$ and $2\times 10^{-6}$, respectively. The basis is a factorization approach of current produced nucleon pairs, together with an isospin transformation that relates nucleon weak vector form factors to electromagnetic form factors. Adding the axial vector current contribution, we find $B^0\to ρ^-p\bar{n}$ and $B^+\to ρ^0p\bar{n}$ to be at $10^{-5}$ order. The three-body modes appear to dominate over the two-body modes such as $B\to p\bar{p}$, $p\bar Λ$.

description: Natural enemies such as herbivores that are introduced to reduce invasive plants can spill over into nature, threaten indigenous species and impose significant costs. We develop a bioeconomic model to analyse the optimal control management strategy of an introduced herbivore that has spilled over from a managed system to a natural area. Cost-effective control strategies are analysed that reduce the spillover effects of herbivores on endangered plants species to reduce the risk of extinction and increase benefits obtained from the ecosystem. We consider two competing indigenous plant species as the representatives of the plant community. Only one of these species is consumed by introduced herbivore. We show that the optimal level of controlling herbivores is relatively high in the following circumstances: (a) the herbivore has a high attack rate on the non-target host, (b) the herbivore has a relatively low attack rate on the target species (i.e. the weed), (c) the costs of controlling herbivore are low, (d) the non-target species has a low density (e) the non-target host has a higher biodiversity value than does its competitor. Point (b) is particularly interesting in the view of previous literature that reaches opposite conclusions.
The economics of intervention in the short-term money market
Creators: name: Allan, Richard Hugh

Subjects: subject: Monetary policy Australia

description: The Australian short-term money market [STMM] consists of a set of inter-related sub-markets which are designed to utilize funds deposited with them at call or for very short periods. The sub-markets include the official STMM, the unofficial STMM, the gilt-edged market and the inter­ company market. A study of the background and early history of the STMM reveals the considerable influence exerted by various monetary authorities on the structuring of all markets, particularly in regard to the establishment of the official STMM in February 1959. The development of the STMM was greatly affected by this event and the growth and performance of each sub-market up to the end of the present study in December 1976 has to be examined in the light of this and other areas of official intervention By the mid 1970 s the growth of money market corporations had clearly outstripped that of the authorised dealers and these money market corporatio now collectively exert the greatest amount of influence of any of the short term money markets on economic activity. However these corporations fall outside the ambit of many of the present controls exercised by the monetary authorities - with direct implications for future policy. A study of the operational aspects of the STMM reveals the extreme variation in market rates and levels of deposits not only during the year but also on a day-to-day basis. Two econometric studies of the official STMM were carried out, one of daily movements in supply and demand for funds and the other a quarterly series of supply equations disaggregated in to types of client . These support the hypothesis that the trading banks use the official STMM as a lender of last resort while other clients utilize it more as a repository of liquid funds. There was also a large proportion of the variation in both supply and demand of funds in the official STMM which remained unexplained by the variables used in these regressions. Three case studies were carried out in order to analyse the role of the STMM in various periods of financial strain. These studies covered the November 1960 credit squeeze, the collapse of Mineral Securities Australia Limited in 1971 and the financial crisis of 1974. Together they reveal a growing maturity within the STMM and with the exception of the inter-company market, a positive contribution by the STMM in each crisis through its function as a buffer zone for other markets. The outcome of these theoretical and empirical studies is a series of recommendations which emphasize the need for greater reliance in market forces rather than further direct controls. These recommendations include revising and extending the provision of last resort loans by the Reserve Bank to some of the existing money market corporations, and the alteration of the present system of "tap" issues of Treasury notes to a system of tenders.

description: Observations of neutral current neutrino interactions on deuterium in the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory are reported. Using the neutral current, elastic scattering, and charged current reactions and assuming the standard 8B shape, the electron-neutrino component of the 8B solar flux is 1.76 +/-0.05(stat.)+/-0.09(syst.) x10^6/(cm^2 s), for a kinetic energy threshold of 5 MeV. The non-electron neutrino component is 3.41+/-0.45(stat.)+0.48,-0.45(syst.) x10^6/(cm^2 s), 5.3 standard deviations greater than zero, providing strong evidence for solar electron neutrino flavor transformation. The total flux measured with the NC reaction is 5.09 +0.44,-0.43(stat.)+0.46,-0.43(syst.)x10^6/(cm^2 s), consistent with solar models.

description: This study analyzes the interrelationship and volatility between grain and oil prices. Specifically, the objective of this study is to investigate the volatility transmission mechanism of grain prices with oil prices, under the assumption that an increase in crude oil prices not only affects corn and soybean prices but also other grain commodity prices such as wheat and rice. The results presented in this paper suggest several conclusions. First, there is a short-run relationship between the grain market and oil prices, which implies that recent co-movements of oil and grain prices are just a temporary phenomenon. Second, grain prices, except for rice, are affected by oil prices to some degree. Finally, the volatilities of oil prices influence the volatilities of corn and soybean prices, and vice versa.
Educated females in the Indonesian labour force, 1971 : a socio-cultural approach
Creators: name: Rahardjo, Julfita
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1978
Subjects: subject: Women Employment Indonesia
subject: Women Education Indonesia

description: The impact of formal education on female participation in the labour force is an unresolved issue. This thesis examines the impact of women's education on their participation in the labour force in the context of the Indonesian environment. The findings show that education seems to be positively related to female participation in the labour force. This is what the experience of developed countries would lead one to expect. However, a closer examination shows that in Indonesia socio-cultural factors have a much stronger influence than education. Therefore it is suggested that the linkage between education and labour force participation must be used with caution in analysing Indonesian data, otherwise it may yield results which do not reflect the reality. For example, those who are in marginal jobs do not appear in the labour force and their activities reflect their domestic abilities rather than their formal education.
