description: We show that the four states a|00>+b|11>, b^*|00>-a^*|11>, c|01>+d|10> and d^*|01>-c^*|10> cannot be discriminated with certainty if only local operations and classical communication (LOCC) are allowed and if only a single copy is provided, except in the case when they are simply |00>, |11>, |01> and |10> (in which case they are trivially distinguishable with LOCC). We go on to show that there exists a continuous range of values of a, b, c and d such that even three states among the above four are not locally distinguishable, if only a single copy is provided. The proof follows from the fact that logarithmic negativity is an upper bound of distillable entanglement.

description: We consider spaces M_7 and M_8 of G_2 holonomy and Spin(7) holonomy in seven and eight dimensions, with a U(1) isometry. For metrics where the length of the associated circle is everywhere finite and non-zero, one can perform a Kaluza-Klein reduction of supersymmetric M-theory solutions (Minkowksi)_4\times M_7 or (Minkowksi)_3\times M_8, to give supersymmetric solutions (Minkowksi)_4\times Y_6 or (Minkowksi)_3\times Y_7 in type IIA string theory with a non-singular dilaton. We study the associated six-dimensional and seven-dimensional spaces Y_6 and Y_7 perturbatively in the regime where the string coupling is weak but still non-zero, for which the metrics remain Ricci-flat but that they no longer have special holonomy, at the linearised level. In fact they have ``almost special holonomy,'' which for the case of Y_6 means almost Kahler, together with a further condition. For Y_7 we are led to introduce the notion of an ``almost G_2 manifold,'' for which the associative 3-form is closed but not co-closed. We obtain explicit classes of non-singular metrics of almost special holonomy, associated with the near Gromov-Hausdorff limits of families of complete non-singular G_2 and Spin(7) metrics.

description: Echo State Networks (ESNs) are recurrent neural networks that only train their output layer, thereby precluding the need to backpropagate gradients through time, which leads to significant computational gains. Nevertheless, a common issue in ESNs is determining its hyperparameters, which are crucial in instantiating a well performing reservoir, but are often set manually or using heuristics. In this work we optimize the ESN hyperparameters using Bayesian optimization which, given a limited budget of function evaluations, outperforms a grid search strategy. In the context of large volumes of time series data, such as light curves in the field of astronomy, we can further reduce the optimization cost of ESNs. In particular, we wish to avoid tuning hyperparameters per individual time series as this is costly; instead, we want to find ESNs with hyperparameters that perform well not just on individual time series but rather on groups of similar time series without sacrificing predictive performance significantly. This naturally leads to a notion of clusters, where each cluster is represented by an ESN tuned to model a group of time series of similar temporal behavior. We demonstrate this approach both on synthetic datasets and real world light curves from the MACHO survey. We show that our approach results in a significant reduction in the number of ESN models required to model a whole dataset, while retaining predictive performance for the series in each cluster.

No place for particles in relativistic quantum theories?

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: Several recent arguments purport to show that there can be no relativistic, quantum-mechanical theory of localizable particles and, thus, that relativity and quantum mechanics can be reconciled only in the context of quantum field theory. We point out some loopholes in the existing arguments, and we provide two no-go theorems to close these loopholes. However, even with these loopholes closed, it does not yet follow that relativity plus quantum mechanics exclusively requires a field ontology, since relativistic quantum field theory itself might permit an ontology of localizable particles supervenient on the fundamental fields. Thus, we provide another no-go theorem to rule out this possibility. Finally, we allay potential worries about this conclusion by arguing that relativistic quantum field theory can nevertheless explain the possibility of "particle detections," as well as the pragmatic utility of "particle talk."

description: The joint observation of core-collapse supernovae with gamma-ray bursts shows that jets can be launched in the aftermath of stellar core collapse, likely by a newly formed black hole that accretes matter from the star. Such gamma-ray bursts have only been observed accompanying Type Ibc supernovae, indicating a stellar progenitor that lost its Hydrogen envelope before collapse. According to recent hypothesis it is possible that jets are launched in core-collapse events even when the progenitors still retain their Hydrogen envelopes, however, such jets are not able to burrow through the star and will be stalled into the interior of the progenitor star before escaping. These jets are called chocked jets. High-energy neutrinos produced by such choked jets could escape the stellar envelope and could be observed. Here we examine how multi-messenger searches for high-energy neutrinos and core-collapse supernovae can detect or limit the fraction of stellar collapses that produce jets. We find that a high fraction of jet production is already limited by previous observational campaigns. We explore possibilities with future observations using LSST, IceCube and Km3NET.

description: We adapt existing phonon heat transport methods to compute the phononic thermal conductance of metallic atomic contacts during a stretching process. Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations are used to generate atomic configurations and to simultaneously determine the phononic thermal conductance. Combining the approach with established electronic structure calculations based on a tight-binding parameterization allows us to calculate in addition charge transport properties of each contact geometry within the Landauer-Büttiker formalism. The method is computationally fast enough to perform a statistical analysis of many stretching events, and we apply it here to atomic junctions formed from three different metals, namely gold (Au), platinum (Pt) and aluminum (Al). The description of both phononic and electronic contributions to heat transport allows us to examine the validity of the Wiedemann-Franz law at the atomic scale. We find that it is well obeyed in the contact regime at room temperature for Au and Al as far as only electronic contributions are concerned, but deviations of up to 10% arise for Pt. If the total thermal conductance is studied, deviations of typically less than 10% arise for Au and Al, which can be traced back mainly to phononic contributions to the thermal conductance, while electronic and phononic contributions can add up to some 20% for single-atom contacts of Pt.

subject: University information systems

description: ERPs are expensive and widely adopted approaches to systems integration. However in both the corporate sector and the public sector ERPs implementations have been very problematical, with reports of widespread failure or only partial success. Very little research has been carried out into ERPs in the higher education sector and most of these have primarily taken the „business‟ perspective; the effects on the academic and service (student administration) domains have been overlooked. Furthermore, with the increasing corporatisation of universities and their expansion into the overseas student market, considerable tensions have arisen which make the implementation of an integrated system which meets the needs of all major stakeholders, particularly difficult. Since all large scale systems projects involve considerable change and information systems research shows that these changes are frequently met with resistance, it is proposed that a political perspective is useful to investigate the origins and effects of political behaviour. Recent reviews have argued that there is a need for a detailed explanation of how power influences information systems implementations and to further refine power related concepts. To address these shortcomings a multidimensional conceptual model is utilised which situates power and politics at the interpersonal and group level within the context of influences created by social, structural and technological movements. The use of French and Raven‟s (1959) theory of power bases and the Power/Interaction model developed by Raven (1992) allows the „influence‟ attempt to analysed in detail, including the motivation, selection of power bases, preparation for the attempt and assessment of success. This clarifies the way that influence attempts are carried out within the context of information systems implementation and provides a model which would be useful for future research The focus of the study is on the experiences of the service oriented student administration staff in a large Australian university. This group has not been studied in relation to ERP implementation, even though they represent the point of tension between the academic and corporate domains. In order to understand the context of their experiences, a qualitative approach is taken, to obtain a rich description of the case. Because the implementation of ERPs remains largely unchallenged, a critical stance is adopted which seeks to explore the dominant discourse.

description: Van der Waals materials and their heterostructures offer a versatile platform for studying a variety of quantum transport phenomena due to their unique crystalline properties and the exceptional ability in tuning their electronic spectrum. However, most experiments are limited to devices that have lateral dimensions of only a few micrometres. Here, we perform magnetotransport measurements on graphene/hexagonal boron-nitride Hall bars and show that wider devices reveal additional quantum effects. In devices wider than ten micrometres we observe distinct magnetoresistance oscillations that are caused by resonant scattering of Landau-quantised Dirac electrons by acoustic phonons in graphene. The study allows us to accurately determine graphene's low energy phonon dispersion curves and shows that transverse acoustic modes cause most of phonon scattering. Our work highlights the crucial importance of device width when probing quantum effects and also demonstrates a precise, spectroscopic method for studying electron-phonon interactions in van der Waals heterostructures.

description: Exploiting the similarities between the Helmholtz wave equation and the Klein-Gordon equation, the former is linearized using the Feschbach-Villars procedure used for linearizing the Klein-Gordon equation. Then the Foldy-Wouthuysen iterative diagonalization technique is applied to obtain a Hamiltonian description for a system with varying refractive index. Besides reproducing all the traditional quasiparaxial terms, this method leads to additional terms, which are dependent on the wavelength, in the optical Hamiltonian. This alternate prescription to obtain the aberration expansion is applied to the axially symmetric graded index fiber. This results in the wavelength-dependent modification of the paraxial behaviour and the aberration coefficients. Explicit expression for the modified coefficients of the aberration to third-order are presented. Sixth and eighth order Hamiltonians are derived for this system.

title: Values of Real Assets: Focus on Infrastructure and Housing in Australia
Creators: name: Conteh, Augustine
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: values
subject: real assets
subject: infrastructure
subject: housing

description: The importance of infrastructure to society cannot be over emphasised because it is needed by individuals, communities, and societies. For instance, communities cannot be classified as developed in the absence of infrastructure development. In real estate parlance, the provision of infrastructure is a necessary condition for residential (housing) growth and development. Conversely, there can be no infrastructure planning without incorporating the residential needs of the population. Adequate provision of infrastructure in the form of roads, bridges, energy, electricity, and utilities contributes to the quality of life or the improvement in the welfare of the residential population. Additionally, it is expected that when infrastructure is provided, there will be cash inflow or revenue to cover the cost of the infrastructure. This latter argument is important for the private sector’s involvement in major infrastructure, such as toll roads. Against this backdrop, infrastructure has the twin benefits of social welfare and profit generation. In this thesis, the values of infrastructure and housing in Australia are examined. These two assets have been considered in this study due to the argument that infrastructure and housing are complementary, and they may also belong to the same asset class under the following conditions: (1) Infrastructure and housing share common attributes (2) The investment outlay of the housing project is huge. (3) For residential (housing) development to take place, infrastructure development is always incorporated. This is because, residents need roads, bridges, among others for a better quality of life. The thesis argues that the value of an asset depends on the accuracy of the valuation method and other existing factors. The valuation method could be traditional or innovative, whereas the existing factors may be internal (inherent) such as the attributes of the asset or external such as a major sporting event. In this thesis, three studies have been examined and they are substantially interconnected. The connection between Studies 1, 2 and 3 is identified in the following ways. (1) The two asset classes complement each other. This suggests that without infrastructure there could be no housing projects. (2) The two assets have common characteristics. For instance, both of these assets belong to the real asset class and their provision could provide a sense of pride, wellbeing, and belongingness to the residents. (3) The two asset classes are triggered by a government initiative. In other words, it is a precondition that government’s approval is always needed for infrastructure and residential development. Principally, housing has been viewed as an infrastructure, and the application of the valuation techniques used in infrastructure could enhance the housing literature, and vice versa.
Ectopic expression of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase in Drosophila melanogaster and microRNAs identification in Helicoverpa armigera

description: Drosophila melanogaster, along with all insects and the vertebrates, lacks an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) gene. We therefore asked whether the C. elegans RdRp genes could be introduced into Drosophila in order to study the effects on RNAi. This system also allowed us to ask whether there were any effects on development, possibly due to interference with microRNA (miRNA) regulation of genes. To address these questions, we introduced the two C. elegans RdRp genes, rrf-1 and ego-1, into D. melanogaster through microinjection. Activation of the gene was performed by crossing these lines to flies carrying the GAL4 transgene under the control of various Drosophila enhancers. Activation of the RdRp genes did not elicit any observable phenotypic changes in the eyes, wing discs, or whole body of adult flies. RT-PCR confirmed the successful RdRp gene expression. We also asked whether these RdRps were capable of enhancing RNAi of a specific, known target gene, triggered by a dsRNA corresponding to that gene. In order to test this, we selected pebble as the candidate endogenous and eGFP as an exogenous gene. Expression of RdRps in RNAi results in differential silencing activities: rrf-1 enhances transitive RNAi and ego-1 silences transgenes by a non-RNAi pathway, the silencing by ego-1 is independent of dsRNA-dependent RNAi, appearing to be transcriptional and restricted to transgenes. We therefore postulate that ego-1 transcriptionally silences transgenes through mitotic unpaired gene silencing mechanism in Drosophila. For identification of miRNAs in Helicoverpa armigera, initially, next generation Illumina sequencings were performed with three Helicoverpa total RNA samples from different tissues and different stages, i.e, neonate, gut, and pupae. about 1.26M unique sequences from 19-24 nts long were harvested. To identify candidate miRNAs, sequence alignment with miRNAs retrieved from miRBase from similar species and the pipeline miRDeep analysis were used. Sequence comparison matched 76 distinct miRNAs while miRDeep prediction gave 164 predicted miRNAs, this gave final 204 miRNAs in total, among which 76 miRNAs are conserved and 128 are novel. 15 miRNAs from above are uniquely expressed in the gut; three of them were confirmed with Northern blot and Hybridization.

description: These writings offer a view of performance practice from the perspective of a musician with over forty years in the profession. Although instrumental teaching of piano at tertiary level in leading music schools in the UK and Australia has been a continuing activity, the papers will focus on issues arising from the author's consideration of his experience as a performing pianist and conductor. Part I, A Musician at Work in his Community, offers autoethnographic material relating to the author's early development, training, and subsequent career. Accounts of particular activities as pianist, conductor, and as instigator and director or curator of events are presented, together with assessments of their contribution to creating new knowledge through their content as research and their contemporary significance. Part 2, A Musician Considers his View, explores the closely woven network of knowledge, belief, attitudes and values which inform my work as a performer. Consideration of the nature of music and its communicable properties are followed by an assessment of the role of music in today's consumer society. Then follows an extensive investigation of the interdependent yet commonly discrete functions of composer, performer and listener which combine to bring musical expression to vibrant life.

description: Simulation studies have been carried out to explore the ability to discriminate between single-site and multi-site energy depositions in large scale liquid scintillation detectors. A robust approach has been found that is predicted to lead to a significant statistical separation for a large variety of event classes, providing a powerful tool to discriminate against backgrounds and break important degeneracies in signal extraction. This has particularly relevant implications for liquid scintillator searches for neutrinoless double beta decay ($0νββ$) from $^{130}$Te and $^{136}$Xe, where it is possible for a true $0νββ$ signal to be distinguished from most radioactive backgrounds (including those from cosmogenic production) as well as unknown gamma lines from the target isotope.

description: We consider the breaking of N=1 supersymmetry by non-zero G-flux when M-theory is compactified on a smooth manifold X of G_2 holonomy. Gukov has proposed a superpotential W to describe this breaking in the low-energy effective theory. We check this proposal by comparing the bosonic potential implied by W with the corresponding potential deduced from the eleven-dimensional supergravity action. One interesting aspect of this check is that, though W depends explicitly only on G-flux supported on X, W also describes the breaking of supersymmetry by G-flux transverse to X.

description: A new class of error-correcting quantum codes is introduced capable of stabilizing qubits against spontaneous decay arising from couplings to statistically independent reservoirs. These quantum codes are based on the idea of using an embedded quantum code and exploiting the classical information available about which qubit has been affected by the environment. They are immediately relevant for quantum computation and information processing using arrays of trapped ions or nuclear spins. Interesting relations between these quantum codes and basic notions of design theory are established.

description: Migration is a worldwide phenomenon that may generate different reactions in the population. Attitudes vary from those that support multiculturalism and communion between locals and foreigners, to contempt and hatred toward immigrants. Since anti-immigration attitudes are often materialized in acts of violence and discrimination, it is important to identify factors that characterize these attitudes. However, doing so is expensive and impractical, as traditional methods require enormous efforts to collect data. In this paper, we propose to leverage Twitter to characterize local attitudes toward immigration, with a case study on Chile, where immigrant population has drastically increased in recent years. Using semi-supervised topic modeling, we situated 49K users into a spectrum ranging from in-favor to against immigration. We characterized both sides of the spectrum in two aspects: the emotions and lexical categories relevant for each attitude, and the discussion network structure. We found that the discussion is mostly driven by Haitian immigration; that there are temporal trends in tendency and polarity of discussion; and that assortative behavior on the network differs with respect to attitude. These insights may inform policy makers on how people feel with respect to migration, with potential implications on communication of policy and the design of interventions to improve inter-group relations.

description: This thesis sets out to evaluate the role of consumer spaces in twentieth-century daily life. It is not concerned with the act of consumption but rather with the ways in which the social, cultural and educative role of the retail spaces is used as a marketing tool. The links that have been established between civic and commercial space over the last three hundred years are charted in order to locate the reasoning behind the growing tendency to design shopping malls as social and cultural spaces in the twentieth century. Three principal benefits to developers of the retails spaces from the promotion of consumer spaces as public spaces are identified in the thesis. First, links between the public and commercial developed to encourage potential customers into a particular retail space as opposed to its competition. Second, consumer spaces are developed as social and leisure spaces to encourage consumer loyalty. That is, they are developed as a means of encouraging repeat visits. Third, they are developed as a tactic to keep potential shoppers in the retail space for a longer duration. The logic behind this strategy being the more time spent in a consumer space the more goods purchased. The origins of this merchandising practice are traced back to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries well before the advent of the department store form. The thesis located a number of strategies developed in the seventeenth century by tradesmen and merchants to sell their wares. At this time, it is evident that the consumer space was opened up to the public who were encouraged to enter without the obligation to purchase. Further, it is evident that, by the eighteenth century, shopkeepers and manufacturers' workshops included showrooms where potential customers could sit and take tea. Public spaces were also designed within the retail space so that potential customers could see and be seen. British shopkeepers often linked the retail space with the social practice of promenading by strategically situating their premises in an already established thoroughfare or site used for promenading. By the late eighteenth century, consumer spaces housed entertainment facilities such as art galleries, exhibitions and lounging rooms. After tracing the development of this merchandising strategy to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the links that can be made between twentieth-century consumer spaces is examined. In addition, the early developments of shopping centres in the 1940s and 1950s are surveyed and their developmental logic and merchandising strategies are compared with more recent forms of shopping malls developed from the 1970s and 1980s.
Simulation and reversal of n-qubit Hamiltonians using Hadamard matrices

description: The ability to simulate one Hamiltonian with another is an important primitive in quantum information processing. In this paper, a simulation method for arbitrary $σ_z \otimes σ_z$ interaction based on Hadamard matrices (quant-ph/9904100) is generalized for any pairwise interaction. We describe two applications of the generalized framework. First, we obtain a class of protocols for selecting an arbitrary interaction term in an n-qubit Hamiltonian. This class includes the scheme given in quant-ph/0106064v2. Second, we obtain a class of protocols for inverting an arbitrary, possibly unknown n-qubit Hamiltonian, generalizing the result in quant-ph/0106085v1.

description: Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of melioidosis, is endemic to Southeast Asia and northern Australia. Clinical manifestations of the disease are diverse, ranging from chronic localized infection to acute septicaemia, with death occurring within 24-48 hours hours after the onset of symptoms. Definitive diagnosis of melioidosis involves bacterial culture and identification, with results obtained within 3-4 days, which is often too late for successful management of acute disease. This delayed diagnosis is amajor contributing factor to high mortality rates, and rapid diagnosis is therefore vital for successful management of the disease. Importantly, B. pseudomallei has recently been classified as a category B bioterrorism agent by the United States Centres for Disease Control and Prevention. It is believed to have the potential to be used as a biological weapon in view of its efficient ability for aerosol dispersal, it can be readily inhaled or ingested, it can be rapidly fatal or form chronic disease and due to the fact that no vaccine exists. The issues described above highlight the need for improvement in the rapid diagnosis of melioidosis and for the production of a suitable vaccine.

description: The discontinuous dependence of the properties of a quantum game on its entanglement has been shown up to be very much like phase transitions viewed in the entanglement-payoff diagram [J. Du et al., Phys. Rev. Lett, 88, 137902 (2002)]. In this paper we investigate such phase-transition-like behavior of quantum games, by suggesting a method which would help to illuminate the origin of such kind of behavior. For the particular case of the generalized Prisoners' Dilemma, we find that, for different settings of the numerical values in the payoff table, even though the classical game behaves the same, the quantum game exhibits different and interesting phase-transition-like behavior.

Advantage of the second-order formalism in double space T-dualization of type II superstring

description: In this article we present bosonic T-dualization in double space of the type II superstring theory in pure spinor formulation. We use the action with constant background fields obtained from the general case under some physically and mathematically justified assumptions. Unlike Ref.\cite{bnbstip2}, where we used the first order theory, in this article fermionic momenta are integrated out. Full T-dualization in double space is represented as permutation of initial $x^μ$ and T-dual coordinates $y_μ$. Demanding that T-dual transformation law of the T-dual double coordinate ${}^\star Z^M=(y_μ,x^μ)$ is of the same form as for initial one $Z^M=(x^μ,y_μ)$, we obtain the form of the T-dual background fields in terms of the initial ones. Advantage of using the action with integrated fermionic momenta is that it gives all T-dual background fields in terms of the initial ones. In the case of the first order theory \cite{bnbstip2} T-dual R-R field strength was obtained out of double space formalism under additional assumptions.

Dynamics of Ferroelectric Negative Capacitance -- Electrostatic MEMS Hybrid Actuators

description: We propose a framework to model ferroelectric negative capacitance: electrostatic Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) hybrid actuators and analyze their dynamic (step input) response. Using this framework, we report the first proposal for reduction in the dynamic pull-in and pull-out voltages of the hybrid actuators due to the negative capacitance of the ferroelectric. The proposed model also reveals the effect of ferroelectric thickness on the dynamic pull-in and pull-out voltages and the effect of ferroelectric damping on the energy dissipated during actuation. We infer from our analysis that the hybrid actuators are better than the standalone MEMS actuators in terms of operating voltage and energy dissipation. Further, we show that one can trade-off a small part of the reduction in actuation voltage to achieve identical pull-in times in the hybrid and standalone MEMS actuators, while still consuming substantially lower energy in the former as compared to the latter. The circuit compatibility of the proposed hybrid actuator model makes it suitable for analysis and evaluation of various heterogeneous systems consisting of hybrid MEMS actuators and other electronic devices.

description: With the decision in Mabo v Queensland [No. 2] in 1992, the courts cemented their role in the self-determination strategies of Indigenous peoples in Australia. More than merely recognising a form of title to traditional lands, the tenor of the judgements in Mabo's case respected Indigenous peoples and offered the protection of the common law. However, the expectations of many Indigenous people for change have not since been met. This thesis examines the usefulness of the courts and the common law in particular for the self-determination claims of Indigenous peoples. I examine the theoretical and institutional limitations on the courts that have resulted in a doctrinal history which has generally excluded Indigenous peoples. I also analyse the potential for the common law to accommodate self-determination claims. I argue that the courts require familiar concepts upon which to base their decisions. I identify the notion of equality of peoples as a proper foundation for the courts to structure the relationship between Indigenous peoples and the state. Equality of peoples has roots in the fundamental principles of the common law and maintains the integrity of Indigenous peoples’ claims.
