MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Many deformed tests and numerous test fragments from the Coniacian-Santonian of Abu Roash (Ostrea and Plicatula unit), ASUARE41-43, Abu Roash echinoid horizon 4 (REH 4).
DESCRIPTION
Test with medium to large size. Ambulacral area wide (Wa/Wi = 0.79). Poriferous zone shows conspicuous biserial arrangement from the ambitus to the apex, wide near the apex where the two poriferous zones constitute 64% of ambulacrum width. At the ambitus and adoral surface, ambulacral primary tubercles are confluent and as large as interambulacral tubercles but decrease in size near the apex.
REMARKS
 The present species is distinguished from P. abbatei in having confluent ambulacral and interambulacral tubercles, conspicuous biserial arrangement of poriferous zones above ambitus (Fig. 7C, D), and wider ambulacra (Wa/Wi = 0.79 vs 0.62-0.72). It is distinguished from P. baylei (Cotteau, 1864) in having wider ambulacra (Wa/Wi = 0.79 vs 0.63- 0.73 in the latter species) and confluent ambulacral and interambulacral tubercles. Fourtau (1921) considered P. beadnelli as a mutation from P. abbatei, but it is believed that the above-mentioned differences between the two forms are sufficient to consider them separate species. Devriès (1960) pointed out that P. beadnelli resembles P. coquandi (Cotteau, 1864) but the latter species is distinguished in having wider extrascrobicular surface, nonconfluent areoles and abundant granules on interambulacra.

description: The objective of this study was to estimate the number of crash deaths specifically attributable to alcohol-impaired driving, with a focus on various strategies for introducing vehicle-based solutions. If alcohol detection systems are standard in all new vehicles, how many lives could be saved in the near term, and how long will it take to essentially eliminate alcohol-impaired driving? Alternatively, if such systems are offered as an option, how many lives could be saved? Fatal crashes in the United States during 2015–2018 were classified by the highest driver blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and the corresponding age category of that driver. Based on the estimates of relative risk (RR) for a given driver group, eliminating alcohol in the driver’s blood should lower risk by the attributable proportion, 1 − 1/RR. Multiplying this quantity by the number of deaths for the driver group yielded the estimated number of lives potentially saved if the BACs were reduced to zero. Systems that restrict drivers with any BAC could prevent nearly 12,000 deaths per year, while systems that restrict BAC to less than 0.08 g/dL could prevent more than 9,000 deaths. Within 3 years of a mandate for vehicle-based alcohol detection systems, it is expected that the annual lives saved would be between 1,000 and 1,300. Within 6 years, it would be between 2,000 and 2,600 lives saved per year, and within 12 years it would be between 4,600 and 5,900 lives saved per year. A system required only for those convicted of alcohol-impaired driving could save between 800 and 1,000 lives per year. A system available only to fleets of vehicles could save between 300 and 500 lives per year. Vehicle-based interventions will not immediately solve the problem of alcohol-impaired driving, but they are an important component of the overall strategy. Even if required as standard equipment in all new vehicles, it will take 12 years before there are enough to reach more than half of their potential. If vehicle-based interventions are instead voluntary or introduced as options, then progress toward a solution will be much slower.

description: We analyze the effect of squeezing the channel in binary communication based on Gaussian states. We show that for coding on pure states, squeezing increases the detection probability at fixed size of the strategy, actually saturating the optimal bound already for moderate signal energy. Using Neyman-Pearson lemma for fuzzy hypothesis testing we are able to analyze also the case of mixed states, and to find the optimal amount of squeezing that can be effectively employed. It results that optimally squeezed channels are robust against signal-mixing, and largely improve the strategy power by comparison with coherent ones.

Financial accountability for public sector bodies : an information system approach and empirical study of Commonwealth statutory authorities

description: In Australia, grave doubts have been raised about the ability of the annual fmancial reports of Commonwealth statutory authorities to provide adequate financial accountability to Parliament and other interested parties. The issue is particularly important since these authorities and similar bodies are often used as instruments of government's welfare and economic policies, and have a significant impact upon the economy in distributive as well as allocative terms. This thesis examines issues surrounding the setting of minimum accounting and financial reporting standards as a contribution to solving these problems. A conceptual approach to standard setting is offered which stresses that the information systems which are the subject of these standards have a positive role to play in accountability for management performance as well as the establishment of legal and fiscal compliance. It is suggested that an objective of such regulation is information control as well as absolute prescription. The accountant's information choice problem is addressed through the vehicle of choice from among available capital maintenance and cost measurement concepts. The analysis suggests appropriate measurement and reporting objectives, explores public sector financial accountability structures and develops an accountability spectrum as a means of associating measurement models with categories of economic purpose given to statutory authorities. An empirical study provides a data bank of operating and enivronmental characteristics relevant to such standard setting, and explores the feasibility of a categorisation that is specific to this purpose and less subjective than those so far offered. In conclusion, several recommendations for the process of developing such standards are derived from the analysis.

description: Automated planning technology has developed significantly. Designing a planning model that allows an automated agent to be capable of reacting intelligently to unexpected events in a real execution environment yet remains a challenge. This article describes a domain-independent approach to allow the agent to be context-aware of its execution environment and the task it performs, acquire new information that is guaranteed to be related and more importantly manageable, and integrate such information into its model through the use of ontologies and semantic operations to autonomously formulate new objectives, resulting in a more human-like behaviour for handling unexpected events in the context of opportunities.

description: We compute the bispectrum of the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) and use it to measure the bias parameter of the galaxies. This parameter quantifies the strength of clustering of the galaxies relative to the mass in the Universe. By analysing 80 million triangle configurations in the wavenumber range 0.1 < k < 0.5 h/Mpc (i.e. on scales roughly between 5 and 30 Mpc/h) we find that the linear bias parameter is consistent with unity: b_1=1.04 pm 0.11, and the quadratic (nonlinear) bias is consistent with zero: b_2=-0.054 pm 0.08. Thus, at least on large scales, optically-selected galaxies do indeed trace the underlying mass distribution. The bias parameter can be combined with the 2dFGRS measurement of the redshift distortion parameter beta = Omega_m^{0.6}/b_1, to yield Omega_m = 0.27 pm 0.06 for the matter density of the Universe, a result which is determined entirely from this survey, independently of other datasets. Our measurement of the matter density of the Universe should be interpreted as Omega_m at the effective redshift of the survey (z=0.17).

description: Objective: Ethanol and zopiclone are both sedating drugs that impair traffic relevant skills, but that show vast differences in epidemiological traffic risk. One explanation for this could be that they impair various kinds of skills differently, but this is less previously studied. The aim of this study was to compare effects of zopiclone and ethanol on a large battery of computerized psychomotor and cognitive tests according to different test classifications. Methods: Ethanol (50 grams), zopiclone 5 mg, zopiclone 10 mg or placebo was administered in a randomized trial with a cross-over design. Blood was sampled nine times after administration and analyzed for zopiclone and ethanol using fully validated methods. The computerized tests Connors Continuous Performance Test (CPT), Stockings of Cambridge (SOC) and choice reaction time (CRT) was performed at baseline and after administration. The three tests yielded fifteen different test components, which were categorized according to the three well-known behavior levels (automative behavior, control behavior and executive planning). Secondly, they were categorized into tests measuring “reaction time”, “impulsivity” and “attention/cognition”. Results: On all tests belonging to behavior level 1 and on all tests measuring “reaction time”, more subjects were impaired by zopiclone than ethanol. On all tests measuring “impulsivity”, more subjects were impaired by ethanol than zopiclone. Conclusion: Zopiclone and ethanol both lead to impairment, but have a different profile on what kind of tests and neurocognitive functions they mostly impair. This could be important in the understanding of the differences in traffic risk connected to these two drugs.
A Scalable Observation-Driven Time-Dependent Basis for a Reduced Description of Transient Systems

Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)

description: We present a variational principle for the extraction of a time-dependent orthonormal basis from random realizations of transient systems. The optimality condition of the variational principle leads to a closed-form evolution equation for the orthonormal basis and its coefficients. The extracted modes are associated with the most transient subspace of the system, and they provide a reduced description of the transient dynamics that may be used for reduced-order modeling, filtering and prediction. The presented method is matrix-free and relies only on the observables of the system and ignores any information about the underlying system. In that sense, the presented reduction is purely observation-driven and may be applied to systems whose models are not known. The presented method has linear computational complexity and memory storage requirement with respect to the number of observables and the number of random realizations. Therefore, it may be used for a large number of observations and samples. The effectiveness of the proposed method is tested on three examples: (i) stochastic advection equation, (ii) a reduced description of transient instability of Kuramoto-Sivashinsky, and (iii) a transient vertical jet governed by incompressible Navier-Stokes equation. In these examples, we contrast the performance of the time-dependent basis versus static basis such as proper orthogonal decomposition, dynamic mode decomposition and polynomial chaos expansion.

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)

description: The rate of photon absorption in warm dense matter (WDM) induced by free-free electron-ion collisions is derived from Sommerfeld's cross-section for non-relativistic bremsstrahlung emission, making use of detailed balance relations. Warm dense matter is treated as a metal-like state in the approximation of a uniform degenerate electron gas and a uniform ion background. Total absorption rates are averaged over the electron Fermi distribution. A closed expression is obtained for the absorption rate, depending on temperature, density, and photon energy, that scales with ion charge Z. It is evaluated numerically for the full parameter space, which requires different representations of the hypergeometric functions involved. The results are valid for photon frequencies larger than the plasma frequency of the medium. They are compared with approximate formulas in various asymptotic regions.

description: The dark matter in or around the cosmic voids affects their shapes. The thermodynamical properties of dark matter can alter the ellipticity of cosmic voids. Here, applying the dark matter equation of state from the pseudo-isothermal density profile of galaxies, we explore the shapes of cosmic voids with the non zero pressure dark matter in different cosmological models. For this purpose, the linear growth of density perturbation in the presence of dark matter pressure is calculated. In addition, the matter transfer function considering the dark matter pressure, as well as the linear matter power spectrum in the presence of the dark matter pressure are presented. Employing these results, the probability density distribution for the ellipticity of cosmic voids with the non zero pressure dark matter is calculated. Our calculations verify that the dark matter pressure leads to more spherical shapes for the cosmic voids.

DESCRIPTION
 Test polygonal.Maximum width lies slightly behind the distal ends of anterior paired petals. Apical disc semi-ethmolytic, transverse, centric to slightly eccentric anteriorly.Frontal ambulacrum nonpetaloid, and relatively deep.Paired ambulacra deep, wide, and petaloid. Peristome pentagonal, transverse, and labiates. There are two types of fascioles: a wide band of peripetalous ortho- to parafasciole (sensu Néraudeau et al. 1998) and a fine band of lateroanal parafasciole.
R EMARKS
 Many authors considered that the post-Cenomanian Mecaster Pomel, 1883 species can develop two fascioles (peripetalous and latero-anal) in fine grained sediments (Lambert 1921; Zaghbib-Turki 1989, 1990; Néraudeau 1994; Villier et al. 2004). Accordingly, many species previously referred to Periaster d’Orbigny, 1853 are attributed to Mecaster (bifasciata ecological varieties of the typical Mecaster species). The present species has long, sub-equal, moderately depressed paired petals. The apical disc is semi-ethmolytic (madreporite separates genital plates 1and 4). Fascioles are composed of a wide band of peripetalous ortho- to parafasciole sensu Néraudeau et al. (1998) and a narrow band of latero-anal parafasciole sensu Néraudeau et al. (1998; bifasciata stage). The labrum is triangular and long, and the sternal plates are approximately symmetric (Fig. 17F). These characters refer this species to genus Mecaster.

description: The condensational growth of spherical water microdroplets is studied in a laboratory setup and with a mathematical model. In the experiment, droplet clusters are kept in a freely levitated state within an upward-oriented flow of water vapor. In the presence of an electrostatic field of 1.5 * 10^5 V / m, droplet growth is accelerated by factors 1.5 to 2.0 as compared to conditions without any external electric field. Presumably water molecules in the ambient air are accelerated through the presence of the electric field. A kinetic model to predict the acceleration of condensational growth confirms this hypothesis to be feasible. The droplets themselves are polarized so that the deposition of steam molecules is facilitated in the electric field. The simplifications and limitations of the model are discussed.

description: We analyze fluctuation of the layer thicknesses and its influence on the strain state of (In,Ga)As/(Al,Ga)As micro-tubes containing quantum well structures. In those structures a curved high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas (HM2DEG) is established. The layer thickness fluctuation studied by atomic force microscopy, x-ray scattering, and spatially resolved cathodoluminescence spectroscopy occurs on two different lateral length scales. On the shorter length scale of about 0.01~$μ$m, we found from atomic force micrographs and the broadening of the satellite maxima in x-ray diffraction curves a very small value of the mean square roughness of 0.1~nm. However, on a longer length scale of about 1.0~$μ$m, step bunching during epitaxial growth resulted in layer thickness inhomogeneities of up to 2~nm. The resulting fluctuation of the strain in the micro-tubes leads to a local variation of the chemical potential, which results in the fluctuation of the carrier density as well. This leads to a phase cancelation of the Shubnikov-de-Haas oscillations in the curved HM2DEG and a reduction of the single-electron scattering time, while the electron mobility in the structures remains high. The estimated fluctuation of the carrier density agrees well with the energy fluctuation measured in the cathodoluminescence spectra of the free-electron transition of the quantum well.
Family life cycle events and economic participation of women in Peninsular Malaysia

Subjects: subject: Women Economic aspects Malaysia

description: This is an exploratory study which seeks to investigate the relationship between selected family life-cycle events and participation in economic activity among women in Peninsular Malaysia. The family life-cycle events selected are first marriage and birth of the first child. Investigation into the work sequences of married women with children which would show the continuity of work participation of women following each life cycle event is also included. Comparison is made of economic activity of married women prior to marriage with activity after marriage. - Differences in activity rates by age, urban or rural residence, and ethnicity are also examined. Pre-marital work experience is an important predictor of current work status. Marriage and family formation tend to have a greater negative impact on the economic participation of urban women, indicating that these women perceive some incompatibility between work and bringing up children. The evidence also shows that work status in one interval is a useful predictor of subsequent work participation. A negative impact of marriage on the economic activity rates of women does not occur immediately after marriage. Many women in this study continue working up to the time they become pregnant or when their first child is born. Women who have been working between marriage and the birth of the first child are more likely to work later. There is also greater likelihood among women to continue working throughout their married life if they had worked after the birth of the first child.

description: We report the creation of a wide range of quantum states with controllable degrees of entanglement and entropy using an optical two-qubit source based on spontaneous parametric downconversion. The states are characterised using measures of entanglement and entropy determined from tomographically determined density matrices. The Tangle-Entropy plane is introduced as a graphical representation of these states, and the theoretic upper bound for the maximum amount of entanglement possible for a given entropy is presented. Such a combination of general quantum state creation and accurate characterisation is an essential prerequisite for quantum device development.

Proto Oceanic and the Austronesian languages of Western Melanesia
Creators: name: Ross, Malcolm David
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1986
Subjects: subject: Proto-Oceanic language
subject: Austronesian languages

description: The main objective of this work is to elucidate the higher-order genetic relationships of the Austronesian languages of western Melanesia within the framework of Dempwolff's 'Oceanic hypothesis". The west Melanesian Oceanic languages investigated here consist of all the Austronesian languages of Papua New Guinea and of the Solomon Islands as far east as Santa Ysabel. Chapter 1 deals with matters of presentation and then offers a model of language diversification and a methodology as a starting-point for the investigation. In chapter 2 it is suggested that the Proto Oceanic homeland was in the area of the Vitiaz Strait and northern New Britain, and a brief outline of the membership of \Vest Melanesian Oceanic is provided. Evidence from the Austronesian languages of western Melanesia is used in chapters 3 and 4 to refine the reconstruction of Proto Oceanic as a basis for recon structing the prehistory of its descendants in western Melanesia. In particular. the theory of oral-/nasal-grade 'crossover' is revised, and an explanation offered for Milke's proto phoneme n j. The Austronesian languages of western Melanesia are found to belong to four clusters of languages. In chapters 5 to 9, some of the more important internal relationships of the clusters are prese ted, but this presentation is li mited to features which help in elucidating the relationships between the four clusters. These clusters are the North New Guinea, Papuan Tip, Meso-Melanesian and Admiralties clusters. In chapter 10 it is shown that the first three of these are more closely related to each other in a grouping here named 'Western Oceanic' than they are to the fourth cluster, the languages of the Admiralty Islands. Evidence is also offered that Western Oceanic languages are descended from the Oceanic dialect chain remaining in the north New Britain area after the departure of speakers of the communalects ancestral to the Admiralties and Central/Eastern Oceanic languages.

Constraints on the collimated X-ray emission of SS 433 from the reflection on molecular clouds

description: We calculate X-ray signal that should arise due to reflection of the putative collimated X-ray emission of the Galactic supercritical accretor SS 433 on molecular clouds in its vicinity. The molecular gas distribution in the region of interest has been constructed based on the data of the BU-FCRAO GRS in $^{13}$CO $J=1\rightarrow0$ emission line, while the collimated emission was assumed to be aligned with the direction of the relativistic jets, which are continuously launched by the system. We consider all the available $Chandra$ observations covering the regions possibly containing the reflection signal and put constraints on the apparent face-on luminosity of SS 433 above 4 keV. No signatures of the predicted signal have been found in the analysed regions down to a 4-8 keV surface brightness level of $\sim 10^{-11}$ erg/s/cm$^2$/deg$^2$. This translates into the limit on the apparent face-on 2-10 keV luminosity of SS 433 $L_{X,2-10}\lesssim 8\times10^{38}$ erg/s, provided that the considered clouds do fall inside the illumination cone of the collimated emission. This, however, might not be the case due to persisting uncertainty in the line-of-sight distances to SS 433 $d_{SS433}$ (4.5-5.5 kpc) and to the considered molecular clouds. For half-opening angle of the collimation cone larger than or comparable to the amplitude of the jets' precession ($\approx21°$), the stringent upper limit quoted above is most relevant if $d_{SS433}<5$ kpc, provided that the kinematic distances to the considered molecular clouds are sufficiently accurate. Dropping the last assumption, a more conservative constraint is $L_{X,2-10}\lesssim10^{40}$ erg/s for $d_{SS433}=4.65-4.85$ kpc (and yet worse outside this range). We conclude that SS 433 is not likely to belong to the brightest ultraluminous X-ray sources if it could be observed face-on, unless its X-ray emission is highly collimated. (Abridged)

Xray observations of high redshift radio galaxies

description: I summarize Xray properties of high redshift radio galaxies, beginning with a brief review of what has been learned from Xray observations of low redshift powerful radio galaxies (in particular, Cygnus A), and then turning to Chandra observations of four high redshift radio galaxies. Hot Xray emitting atmospheres of the type seen in low redshift clusters are not detected in the high redshift sources, suggesting that these systems are not yet virialized massive clusters, but will likely evolve into such. Xray emission from highly obscured AGN is detected in all cases. Extended Xray emission is also seen, and the extended emission is clearly aligned with the radio source, and on a similar spatial scale. Multiple mechanisms are proposed for this radio-Xray alignment, including inverse Compton scattering of photons from the AGN (the 'Brunetti mechanism'), and thermal emission from ambient gas that is shocked heated by the expanding radio source. The pressure in the high filling factor shocked gas is adequate to confine the radio source and the low filling factor optical line emitting clouds.
