description: The importance of considering gender in the effective delivery of international humanitarian assistance (IHA) is well appreciated by the international humanitarian community. Yet evidence suggests that the translation of this appreciation into effective policy and practice remains elusive. This thesis investigates the conceptualisation and implementation of gender policy across the international humanitarian system. It argues that global humanitarian responses continue to fail in consistently addressing gender-based issues and remain ad hoc despite a relatively constant global discourse on the issue. The thesis pursues this argument in three parts. Part One reviews the theory, ethics and policy that drive IHA, including its gender work. It explores the theories of cosmopolitanism and communitarianism in international relations and the place of feminist theories within these. Drawing on this analysis, the thesis then moves on to discuss the history and contemporary expression of the international humanitarian system, considering its effects for gender work. Part Two examines humanitarian response in the field, exploring three case studies where humanitarian organisations responded to different types of emergencies in disparate parts of the globe. These case studies focus on responses to the ongoing displacement crises in South Sudan (2011 onwards), the cholera outbreak in Papua New Guinea (2009-2011) and the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami (2011). Through analysis of interviews and organisational documents, this section reveals that the implementation of gender policy is subject to the fulfilment of several conditions related to organisational mandate, emergency type, and pre-existing gender structures in the particular context. Together, these conditions suggest that the liberal feminist framework guiding gender work is inappropriate for, and ineffective in, the current international humanitarian system. Drawing together the arguments of Parts One and Two, Part Three elaborates that a deficit exists in the policy and practice of gender work in IHA as a result of its fundamental theoretical underpinning. To address this deficit, the thesis concludes by advocating for a change in prevailing approaches to gender in IHA. The thesis suggests that attention to a critical feminist ethics of care may be able to reform gender work to make it compatible with the various conditions of particular humanitarian contexts.

description: Online decision making aims to learn the optimal decision rule by making personalized decisions and updating the decision rule recursively. It has become easier than before with the help of big data, but new challenges also come along. Since the decision rule should be updated once per step, an offline update which uses all the historical data is inefficient in computation and storage. To this end, we propose a completely online algorithm that can make decisions and update the decision rule online via stochastic gradient descent. It is not only efficient but also supports all kinds of parametric reward models. Focusing on the statistical inference of online decision making, we establish the asymptotic normality of the parameter estimator produced by our algorithm and the online inverse probability weighted value estimator we used to estimate the optimal value. Online plugin estimators for the variance of the parameter and value estimators are also provided and shown to be consistent, so that interval estimation and hypothesis test are possible using our method. The proposed algorithm and theoretical results are tested by simulations and a real data application to news article recommendation.

description: We present a photometric study of the star-forming region NGC 346 and its surrounding field in the Small Magellanic Cloud, using data taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) on board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The data set contains both short and long exposures for increased dynamic range, and photometry was performed using the ACS module of the stellar photometry package DOLPHOT. We detected almost 100,000 stars over a magnitude range of V ~ 11 to V ~ 28 mag, including all stellar types from the most massive young stars to faint lower main sequence and pre-main sequence stars. We find that this region, which is characterized by a plethora of stellar systems and interesting objects, is an outstanding example of mixed stellar populations. We take into account different features of the color-magnitude diagram of all the detected stars to distinguish the two dominant stellar systems: The stellar association NGC 346 and the old spherical star cluster BS 90. These observations provide a complete stellar sample of a field about 5 arcmin x 5 arcmin around the most active star-forming region in this galaxy. Considering the importance of these data for various investigations in the area, we provide the full stellar catalog from our photometry. This paper is the first part of an ongoing study to investigate in detail the two dominant stellar systems in the area and their surrounding field.

Analysis of the effects of the Rap1 and Rasg genes on dictyostelium discoideum cell morphology
Creators: name: Rebstein, Patrick James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The rapl gene of Dictyostelium discoideum is a member of the ras-gene superfamily of low molecular weight GTPase proteins. The D. discoideum rapl gene is expressed both during growth and development. To further characterize rapl, the sequence and organization of the genomic DNA encoding the rapl gene and 1 kbp of the 5' flanking region was determined. The 5' flanking region could activate expression of the (3-galactosidase reporter gene upon transformation into D. discoideum. To examine the action of the Rapl protein in D. discoideum, the rapl cDNA was expressed under the control of the inducible discoidin promoter. Overexpression of the Rapl protein correlated with the appearance of morphologically aberrant vegetative amebae: cells were extensively spread and flattened with an increase in F-actin staining around the cell periphery. Expression of the rapl cDNA also prevented cell detachment from the substratum upon treatment with azide. When starved D. discoideum amebae are stimulated with HL5 medium, the cells rapidly respond by rounding up. By contrast, the Rapl transformant cells showed a pronounced delay in rounding. Site directed mutagenesis was used to determine the requirements for specific conserved amino acids for these effects caused by overexpression of Rapl. The substitution G10V, predicted to prevent nucleotide binding, and the substitution S17N, predicted to restrict the protein to the GDP-bound state, both abolished the ability of Rapl to affect cell morphology, suggesting that GTP binding is required for Rapl activity. Moreover, the substitution G12V which is predicted to increase the proportion of protein binding GTP, modestly enhanced the ability of Rapl to inhibit the rounding of starved cells after nutrient stimulation. By contrast, substitutions at amino acid 38 in the presumptive effector domain reduced but did not totally abolish the ability of Rapl to affect cell morphology. The substitution T61Q, which impairs the ability of mammalian Rapl to revert the phenotype of Ras transformed mammalian cells, did not alter the effect of Rapl on D. discoideum cell morphology. Thus, although the effects of Rapl on D. discoideum cell morphology appear to be regulated by GTP, the unexpected effects of substitutions at amino acid positions 38 and 61 suggests that the Rapl induced effects may involve different effector and regulatory molecules from that required to revert the phenotype of Ras transformed cells. A D. discoideum transformant expressing activated RasG-G12T protein (RasG-G12T) had an altered cell morphology similar to that of Rapl overexpression: the cells became flattened and spread with a concomitant distribution of F-actin around the cell periphery. RasG-G12T cells also failed to round up and detach upon exposure to azide. However, expression of activated RasG-G12T resulted in the formation of multinucleate cells whereas Rapl expressing transformants remained mononucleate.

description: Stationary solutions of 5D supergravity with U(1) isometry can be efficiently studied by dimensional reduction to three dimensions, where they reduce to solutions to a locally supersymmetric non-linear sigma model. We generalize this procedure to 5D gauged supergravity, and identify the corresponding gauging in 3D. We pay particular attention to the case where the Killing spinor is non constant along the fibration, which results, even for ungauged supergravity in 5D, in an additional gauging in 3D, without introducing any extra potential. We further study SU(2)\times U(1) symmetric solutions, which correspond to geodesic motion on the sigma model (with potential in the gauged case). We identify and study the algebra of BPS constraints relevant for the Breckenridge-Myers-Peet-Vafa black hole, the Gutowski-Reall black hole and several other BPS solutions, and obtain the corresponding radial wave functions in the semi-classical approximation.

description: For a future DEMOnstration fusion power plant two challenging trends with respect to gyrotron features are recognized: (a) the operating frequency will be above 200 GHz and (b) the requested total efficiency of the gyrotron should be as high as possible. ECRH systems for future plants (DEMO) or Fusion Power Plants (FPP) will most probably require multi-megawatt and continuous wave gyrotrons which are able to oscillate at a frequency significantly above 200 GHz. The coaxial cavity technology which is under investigation and development at KIT since several years, seems to have the optimum properties to fulfill the requirements towards sub-THz operation in the MW output power regime. To benefit from these advantages and to profit from the existing experience on this technology the modular 2 MW 170 GHz gyrotron has been taken as a starting point for a 170/204/238 GHz multi-frequency gyrotron design study. Recent activities for improvement of the performance of this gyrotron and preparations for long pulse operation will be shown. In a first step we aim at ~ 100 ms operation, in a second step, with the tube being equipped with an improved cooling system, 1 s operation is envisaged. KIT is currently constructing a new gyrotron teststand, FULGOR, having specific features, such as: 10 MW electrical input power in CW, magnetic field up to 10.5 T with 261 mm warm bore hole of the SCM and several voltage taps from the high-voltage DC power supply. The CW HV Power supply (120 kV, 130 A) has already been delivered and accepted, a dry superconducting magnet will be delivered in 2019. For the first time it will be possible with FULGOR to test Multistage Depressed Collector (MDC) gyrotrons which are supposed to increase the overall efficiency from 50 % (state of the art) to 60 % or even higher. There are two concepts for gyrotron MDC: a axisymmetric concept, which relies on the demagnetization combined with non-adiabatic magnetic transitions and a concept based on E×B drifts to sort electrons. First considerations of a proof-of-principle design for the ExB drift concept will be shown.

To do so, a Real Time Analysis System automatically and quickly analyzes MegaCAM images and extracts from them a list of photometrically and astrometrically variable objects which is then validated by a member of the collaboration. Each month, we repeatedly observe 15 to 30 square degrees down to magnitude i' = 22.5. A few objects are classified as candidates and analyzed more deeply, and statistics are done showing the treatment's performance.

$α$-decay half-lives of superheavy nuclei with $Z=122-125$

description: For $α$ decay half-life calculations in this work, the Coulomb and proximity potential model with a new semiempirical formula for diffuseness parameter developed in previous work [Phys. Rev. C 100, 024601 (2019)] is used. The present model in this work is compared with the generalized liquid-drop model (GLDM), universal decay law (UDL), and experimental half-lives in the region $Z=104-118$. Next, the predicted half-lives of 51 superheavy nuclei (SHN) with $Z=122-125$ by the present model are compared with those of GLDM, and UDL. The present model is revealed to be more accurate in reproducing experimental half-lives compared to GLDM and UDL. Moreover, it is found that the predictions of the present model and UDL are highly consistent while GLDM largely deviates from the other two. A study of the competition between $α$ decay and spontaneous fission (SF) shows that $α$ decay is the dominant mode. Among the studied SHN with $Z=122-125$, ${}^{295-307}122$ and ${}^{314-320}125$ are identified as potential candidates whose half-lives are relatively long enough to be experimentally detected in the future through their $α$-decay chains. The identified candidates are in good agreement with other recent work.

We obtain an analytical expression for the output state Wigner function, and we maximize the one-photon state fidelity by varying the temporal mode function of the output state. We show that a higher production rate of high fidelity Fock states is obtained if we condition the outcome on dark intervals around trigger photo detection events.

description: A Weyl semimetal with strong electron-phonon interaction can show axionic coupling in its insulator state at low temperatures, owing to the formation of a charge density wave (CDW). Such a CDW emerges in the linear chain compound Weyl semimetal Ta$_2$Se$_8$I below 263 K, resulting in the appearance of the dynamical condensed-matter axion quasiparticle. In this study, we demonstrate that the interchain coupling in Ta$_2$Se$_8$I can be varied to suppress the CDW formation with pressure, while retaining the Weyl semimetal phase at high temperatures. Above 17 GPa, the Weyl semimetal phase does not survive and we induce superconductivity, due to the amorphization of the iodine sub-lattice. Structurally, the one-dimensional Ta-Se-chains remain intact and provide a superconducting channel in one dimension. We highlight that our results show a near-complete suppression of the gap induced by the axionic charge-density wave at pressures inaccessible to previous studies. Including this CDW phase, our experiments and theoretical predictions and analysis reveal the complete topological phase diagram of Ta$_2$Se$_8$I and its relationship to the nearby superconducting state. The results demonstrate Ta$_2$Se$_8$I to be a distinctively versatile platform for exploring correlated topological states.

description: Coherent optical spectroscopy such as four-wave mixing and photon echo generation deliver rich information on the energy levels involved in optical transitions through the analysis of polarization of the coherent response. In semiconductors, it can be applied to distinguish between different exciton complexes, which is a highly non-trivial problem in optical spectroscopy. We develop a simple approach based on photon echo polarimetry, in which polar plots of the photon echo amplitude are measured as function of the angle φ between the linear polarizations of the two exciting pulses. The rosette-like polar plots reveal a distinct difference between the neutral and charged exciton (trion) optical transitions in semiconductor nanostructures. We demonstrate this experimentally by photon echo polarimetry of a CdTe/(Cd, Mg)Te quantum well. The echoes of the trion and donor-bound exciton are linearly polarized at the angle 2φ with respect to the first pulse polarization and their amplitudes are weakly dependent on φ. While on the exciton the photon echo is co-polarized with the second exciting pulse and its amplitude scales as cosφ.

Crisis discourse, response, and structural contradictions in Thai Buddhism, 1990-2003
Creators: name: Kusa, Julian
Publisher: name: Canberra, ACT : The Australian National University
Year: 2013

description: Is the Thai Buddhist Sangha in crisis? This is a ubiquitous question posed and discussed in social, academic and monastic circles in Thailand over the past decade, a questioning which intensified after the 1997 Asian economic crash that began in Thailand. However, despite the often intense attention paid in these circles to the claimed crisis in the institutional body of Thai Buddhism, what this crisis actually means remains unclear. One of the causes of this confusion is the diffuse use of the notion of 'crisis' (wikrit). This notion has been used to refer to factors as diverse as the impact of globalisation on Buddhism, the escalating levels of commercialised forms of religiosity, the representation of monastic scandals in negative terms in the media, anxieties concerning the role of monks in contemporary society, and the undermining of the traditional male Sangha hierarchy as a result of the increasing efforts by women to enter the monkhood. Equally, what constitutes a crisis is also unclear. At times, the notion is used to emotively incite a sense of alarm and even panic that something disastrous has occurred or might soon happen to Thai Buddhism. This study has three key aims: first, to understand how the idea of a crisis in the Sangha is understood in Thailand and how this is produced; second, to examine the Sangha's response to the perception of crisis; and third, to consider the implications of the Sangha's response and how this response contributes to an understanding of the functions of the Thai Sangha today. The central argument proposed here is that the source and persistence of the perception of an ongoing crisis in Thai Buddhism emerges from contradictions brought about by the secular administrative structures imposed by the Thai state and internalised within the Sangha. While the Sangha's acceptance of the secular bureaucratic structure maintains its hegemonic control over Thai Buddhism, this also creates a continuous source of tension between the Sangha's worldly involvement and its stated non-worldly goals. What is more, the bureaucratic structures that are the source of the perceived crisis have been internalised within the Sangha so much that they form the basis of responses, thus perpetuating the very conditions that I argue are the main source of the claimed crisis. I develop this argument through case studies of recent Sangha administrative reforms, the Sangha's formal relationship to the state since the early 1990s, the policing of the moral standards of the Sangha's members, and shifting gender demarcations within the monastic Order brought about by moves for women's ordination.

description: We study a particle on a ring in presence of various dissipative environments. We develop and solve a variational scheme assuming low frequency dominance. We analyze our solution within a renormalization group (RG) scheme to all orders which reproduces a 2 loop RG for the Caldeira-Legget environment. In the latter case the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) oscillation amplitude is exponential in -R^2 where R is the ring's radius. For either a charge or an electric dipole coupled to a dirty metal we find that the metal induces dissipation, however the AB amplitude is ~ R^{-2} for large R, as for free particles. Cold atoms with a large electric dipole may show a crossover between these two behaviors.

A failure of the up-now first principles ionic calculations for NiO was largely due to too small values taken for the octupolar moment of the transition-metal atom, largely generated by too small value for . Our many-electron crystal-field based approach enables successful calculations of the electronic structure and magnetic properties both in the paramagnetic and in magnetically-ordered state as well as zero-temperature properties and thermodynamics.

Person and place on Vanua Lava, Vanuatu
Creators: name: Hess, Sabine Claudia
Publisher: name: Canberra, ACT : The Australian National University
Year: 2013

description: This thesis draws upon existing bodies of work on 'place' and 'person ' in Melanesia, but brings them together in a new way. In the anthropological literature on Vanuatu, 'place' has been discussed in relation to colonial history, political economy and effects of the national economy rather than in relation to concepts of the person, as has been done by researchers working in Papua New Guinea and other regions of the Pacific. Personhood in Melanesia has been theorised using concepts of dividuality, individuality, partibility, and degrees of permeability and autonomy. This research suggests that Marilyn Strathern's argument, that for 'Melanesian persons' the distinction between 'individual' and 'society' is not relevant, can be extended to the concepts of 'person' and place. However, these concepts also need to be considered in their specific local history, taking account of V anua La vans' ongoing engagement with modernity, in particular with different forms of individualism. Engagement with Christian individualism, with a singular person's relationship with God, presupposes a moral 'core self that makes a person responsible for their own actions. Capitalist notions of possessive individualism and the simultaneous change from an oral, flexible mode of knowledge transmission to a more rigid written one have also affected Vanua Lavans' understanding. This thesis provides a snapshot of contemporary notions of personhood and a 'Melanesian modernity' in flux, where discontinuities and continuities compete, merge, co-exist, and are moderated by a cultural logic that might be changing itself.

description: We study the solvation and electrostatic properties of bare gold (Au) nanoparticles (NPs) of $1$-$2$ nm in size in aqueous electrolyte solutions of sodium salts of various anions with large physicochemical diversity (Cl$^-$, BF$_4$$^-$, PF$_6$$^-$, Nip$^-$(nitrophenolate), 3- and 4-valent hexacyanoferrate (HCF)) using nonpolarizable, classical molecular dynamics computer simulations. We find a substantial facet selectivity in the adsorption structure and spatial distribution of the ions at the Au-NPs: while sodium and some of the anions (e.g., Cl$^-$, HCF$^{3-}$) adsorb more at the `edgy' (100) and (110) facets of the NPs, where the water hydration structure is more disordered, other ions (e.g., BF$_4$$^-$, PF$_6$$^-$, Nip$^-$) prefer to adsorb strongly on the extended and rather flat (111) facets. In particular, Nip$^-$, which features an aromatic ring in its chemical structure, adsorbs strongly and perturbs the first water monolayer structure on the NP (111) facets substantially. Moreover, we calculate adsorptions, radially-resolved electrostatic potentials, as well as the far-field effective electrostatic surface charges and potentials by mapping the long-range decay of the calculated electrostatic potential distribution onto the standard Debye-Hückel form. We show how the extrapolation of these values to other ionic strengths can be performed by an analytical Adsorption-Grahame relation between effective surface charge and potential. We find for all salts negative effective surface potentials in the range from $-10$ mV for NaCl down to about $-80$ mV for NaNip, consistent with typical experimental ranges for the zeta-potential. We discuss how these values depend on the surface definition and compare them to the explicitly calculated electrostatic potentials near the NP surface, which are highly oscillatory in the $\pm 0.5$ V range.

description: This paper investigates the influence of the basis set on the GW self-energy correction in the full-potential linearized augmented-plane-wave (LAPW) approach and similar linearized all-electron methods. A systematic improvement is achieved by including local orbitals that are defined as second and higher energy derivatives of solutions to the radial scalar-relativistic Dirac equation and thus constitute a natural extension of the LAPW basis set. Within this approach linearization errors can be eliminated, and the basis set becomes complete. While the exchange contribution to the self-energy is little affected by the increased basis-set flexibility, the correlation contribution benefits from the better description of the unoccupied states, as do the quasiparticle energies. The resulting band gaps remain relatively unaffected, however; for Si we find an increase of 0.03 eV.

Public deliberation and interest organisations : a study of responses to lay citizen engagement in public policy
Creators: name: Hendriks, Carolyn
Publisher: name: Canberra, ACT : The Australian National University
Year: 2013

description: This thesis empirically examines how lobby groups and activists respond to innovative forms of public participation. The study centres on processes that foster a particular kind of deliberative governance including citizens' juries, consensus conferences and planning cells. These deliberative designs bring together a panel of randomly selected lay citizens to deliberate on a specific policy issue for a few days, with the aim of providing decision makers with a set of recommendations. While policy makers worldwide are attracted to these novel participatory processes, little consideration has been given to how well they work alongside more adversarial and interest-based politics. This doctoral research project examines this interface by studying what these processes mean to difference kinds of policy actors such as corporations, advocacy groups, government agencies, experts and professionals. These entities are collectively referred to in this thesis as 'interest organisations' because in some way they are seeking a specific policy outcome from the state - even government-based groups.

description: A numerical method is proposed in order to track field lines of three-dimensional divergence free fields. Field lines are computed by a locally valid Hamiltonian mapping, which is computed using a symplectic scheme. The method is theoretically valid everywhere but at points where the field is null or infinite. For any three dimensional flux conservative field for which problematic points are sufficiently sparse, a systematic procedure is proposed and implemented. Construction of field lines is achieved by means of tracers and the introduction of various Hamiltonians adapted to the "geometrical state" each line or tracer is. The states are artificially defined by an a priori given frame of reference and Cartesian coordinates, and refer to a Hamiltonian which is locally valid at the time step to be computed. This procedure ensures the preservation of the volume (flux condition) during the iteration. This method is first tested with an ABC-type flow. Its benefits when compared to typical Runge-Kutta scheme are demonstrated. Potential use of the method to exhibit "coherent" Lagrangian structures in a chaotic setting is shown. An illustration to the computation of magnetic field lines resulting from a three-dimensional MHD simulation is also provided.

Containers of power : fibre forms from Northeast Arnhem Land Australia
Creators: name: Hamby, M Louise
Publisher: name: Canberra, ACT : The Australian National University
Year: 2013

description: This thesis is a study of fibre container forms primarily made by women today in Arnhem Land. It investigates a complex set of relationships between the forms, mainly baskets, bags and mats, their makers and users, their functions, their morphology, their manufacture, and history. It does this within the cultural context of Yolηu cosmology with emphasis on the belief system and relationship of the forms to other items of material culture. Although the majority of the contemporary material for this study is from Gapuwiyak in eastern Arnhem Land it draws upon work from the entirety of Arnhem Land, historical and contemporary. My theoretical approach is one in which I consider these objects as having cultural biographies. It also examines the resonances of terminology and symbolism between the human and bathi corpus. In this context the processes that are involved in their making and use are essential in establishing the position of bathi in the community. In this thesis I argue that bathi are powerful and meaningful objects for makers and users and are one of the key means by which to access and understand Aboriginal cosmology from northeast Arnhem Land.

Narratives of 'Kanak identity' in New Caledonia - its concepts and history of Kanak identity struggle
Creators: name: Edo, Junko
Publisher: name: Canberra, ACT : The Australian National University
Year: 2013

description: The thesis aims to explore and represent 'Kanak identity' multi-dimensionally through the discourses of local people, composed of three kinds of narrative, narrative of community, culture and nation. Narrative of community reveals that identity concepts at the level of traditional community are relationally and collectively oriented with the clan as its base and that its boundary is porous. Secondly, narrative of culture discloses that their identity concepts at the ethnic level are synonymous with culture based on custom and that its boundary is strategically demarcated. In these narratives of community and culture, the concepts of Kanak identity prove to be constructed dually in community and culture: while the former is the base of their identity, the latter unites fragmented Kanak society. Thirdly, narrative of nation proves that the Kanak identity claim is the key concept of their struggle for decolonization of New Caledonia to recover their rights. French colonization dehumanized the Kanak and deprived them of their rights and dignity so that they had to politically and culturally assert Kanak identity vis-a-vis France and others. While struggling for the recovery of their rights, which are conceived within the modern norm of the nation-state, they tried to restore their identity as a symbol representing the autochthonous people as a whole or as a symbol of a nation. The history of Kanak struggle for identity demonstrates how Kanak identity has been shaped and is being reshaped through the discourses of the people, which prove to be the narrative of 'emergence' and not of 'entropy', if I borrow Clifford's terminology (1988: 14, 16)

description: We observe magnetic trapping of atomic nitrogen (14^N) and cotrapping of ground state imidogen (14^NH, X-triplet-Sigma-). Both are loaded directly from a room temperature beam via buffer gas cooling. We trap approximately 1 * 10^11 14^N atoms at a peak density of 5 * 10^11 cm^-3 at 550 mK. The 12 +5/-3 s 1/e lifetime of atomic nitrogen in the trap is limited by elastic collisions with the helium buffer gas. Cotrapping of 14^N and 14^NH is accomplished, with 10^8 NH trapped molecules at a peak density of 10^8 cm^-3. We observe no spin relaxation of nitrogen in collisions with helium.
