About face : Asian representations of Australia
Creators: name: Broinowski, Alison Elizabeth
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2001
Subjects: Asia • Asians • Australia • Australians • image • representations • public opinion • opinion leaders • multicultural society • engagement with Asia • Occidentalism • regionalism • racism • Asianisation • the typical Australian • myths • Chinese • Japanese • Indians • Koreans • Southeast Asians • Indonesians • Filipinos • Malaysians • Singaporeans • Thais • Vietnamese • twentieth century

description: This thesis considers the ways in which Australia has been publicly represented in ten Asian societies in the twentieth century. It shows how these representations are at odds with Australian opinion leaders’ assertions about being a multicultural society, with their claims about engagement with Asia, and with their understanding of what is ‘typically’ Australian. It reviews the emergence and development of Asian regionalism in the twentieth century, and considers how Occidentalist strategies have come to be used to exclude and marginalise Australia. A historical survey outlines the origins of representations of Australia in each of the ten Asian countries, detecting the enduring influence both of past perceptions and of the interests of each country’s opinion leaders. Three test cases evaluate these findings in the light of events in the late twentieth century: the first considers the response in the region to the One Nation party, the second compares that with opinion leaders’ reaction to the crisis in East Timor; and the third presents a synthesis of recent Asian Australian fiction and what it reveals about Asian representations of Australia from inside Australian society. The thesis concludes that Australian policies and practices enable opinion leaders in the ten countries to construct representations of Australia in accordance with their own priorities and concerns, and in response to their agendas of Occidentalism, racism, and regionalism.

description: Conjugation coactions of the quantum general linear group on the algebra of quantum matrices have been introduced in an earlier paper and the coinvariants have been determined. In this paper the notion of orbit is considered via co-orbit maps for these coactions. The co-orbit maps are calculated explicitly for 2 by 2 quantum matrices. In the NxN case we consider the case of a generic diagonal matrix when the deformation parameter is transcendental over the field generated by the diagonal entries.

Subjects: subject: Cuban batá ceremony

subject: Online communities

description: This thesis examines and analyses some key issues related to the emergence of Cuban batá ceremony on YouTube. A musical-religious ceremony related to the Afro-Cuban religion commonly known as Santería, batá ceremony has been part of the YouTube landscape since 2006, although its practice in Cuba dates back to the late 19th century. As a traditional musical-religious practice, its mediation through video, and subsequent dissemination and representation on YouTube, is examined in light of how videography and online video-sharing practices affect the performance and meaning of batá ceremony in the real world, offline environment, as well as examining the way that this new, online representation creates new meaning and understanding of batá performance for those who are involved in its practice. Through examining both the practice of videography at batá ceremony and the production and reception of its online representation on YouTube, I seek to contribute to the growing body of literature that is examining online communities that form around musical practice. This focus on a religious-musical practice also brings into perspective how the effects of modern technological mediation play into traditional religious practices in the modern era, and how this is affecting ceremonial batá drummers and other religious practitioners, those people who arguably have the biggest stake in these new practices. To do this I utilise ethnographic, participantobservation methods in both the offline environment of batá ceremony, and the online environment of YouTube.

description: In this paper we develop a novel neural network model for predicting implied volatility surface. Prior financial domain knowledge is taken into account. A new activation function that incorporates volatility smile is proposed, which is used for the hidden nodes that process the underlying asset price. In addition, financial conditions, such as the absence of arbitrage, the boundaries and the asymptotic slope, are embedded into the loss function. This is one of the very first studies which discuss a methodological framework that incorporates prior financial domain knowledge into neural network architecture design and model training. The proposed model outperforms the benchmarked models with the option data on the S&P 500 index over 20 years. More importantly, the domain knowledge is satisfied empirically, showing the model is consistent with the existing financial theories and conditions related to implied volatility surface.

description: Synchronization of coupled oscillators is a fundamental process in both natural and artificial networks. While much work has investigated the asymptotic stability of the synchronous solution, the fundamental question of the transient behavior toward synchronization has received far less attention. In this work, we present the transverse reactivity as a metric to quantify the instantaneous rate of growth or decay of desynchronizing perturbations. We first use the transverse reactivity to design a coupling-efficient and energy-efficient synchronization strategy that involves varying the coupling strength dynamically according to the current state of the system. We find that our synchronization strategy is able to synchronize networks in both simulation and experiment over a significantly larger (often by orders of magnitude) range of coupling strengths than is possible when the coupling strength is constant. Then, we characterize the effects of network topology on the transient dynamics towards synchronization by introducing the concept of network syncreactivity: A network with a larger syncreactivity has a larger transverse reactivity at every point on the synchronization manifold, independent of the oscillator dynamics. We classify real-world examples of complex networks in terms of their syncreactivity.

On Reading Lines in Shifting Sands: making organisational culture relevant
Creators: name: Britton, Garth Murray
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2007
Subjects: organizational culture • corporate culture • culture change • change management • cross-cultural management

description: Despite the ubiquity of the term ‘organisational culture’ in both popular and scholarly management literature, it remains an ambiguous concept, whose practical application is recognised as being far from universally successful. This dissertation, instead of focussing on culture as some sort of objective or unchanging attribute of an organisation, treats it as a phenomenon emerging from social interaction and individual sense-making. It draws on, and extends, George Kelly’s Personal Construct Psychology. This framework is applied to a business school attached to a large university, which is first absorbed into its Commerce Faculty, and then dissolved into a new Department, as the overall university structure is modified. Grounded Theory methodology is used to develop an approach to the description of the cultural interaction and changes that occur, and to generate theory that partially explains how and why they do. Implications are explored for the management of organisations undergoing change, particularly where this involves merging or restructuring organisational units, and for the training and development of managers to be involved in such activities. ...

Social aspects of the depression in New South Wales, 1930-1934
Creators: name: Peter, Phyllis
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1964

description: This thesis explores the impact of the Great Depression on society in New South Wales. It does this through a study of the responses to depression of several representative organizations. Chapter One outlines the political scene and shows the reactions of the main political parties to the challenge of this crisis. To a large extent, the responses of other organizations were provoked by the events, the personalities and the policies described in this chapter. Chapters Two and Three show how the depression disrupted the way of life of thousands of men and women. This background of personal insecurity is reflected in the general social insecurity which marks those years. It was also one reason why the depression challenged men to consider what was wrong with their political, social and economic order. Some of their answers are described in the next six chapters. Chapters Four, Five and Six show the response of three large a-political groups which were an established part of the community: the Protestant churches, the Catholic Church, and the Returned Sailors and Soldiers Imperial League of Australia. Chapters Seven and Eight set out the thoughts and activities of new groups the All for Australia League, the New States movement, and the New Guard. Chapter Nine discusses the activities, ideas and influence of the Communist Party which, as one result of the depression, was in men's minds even more often than before. An examination of the responses of these organizations to the depression involves examining their responses to each other. The resulting picture is that of a society of conflicting groups. In their disputes over the causes and cures of the depression, men revealed how far they differed from one another in what they wanted for and from their society. This thesis shows how and why these differences made disunity so characteristic of depression society.
Agile Software Development Method, A Comparative Review1

description: Although agile software development methods have caught the attention of software engineers and researchers worldwide, scientific research still remains quite scarce. The aim of this study is to order and make sense of the different agile approaches that have been proposed. This comparative review is performed from the standpoint of using the following features as the analytical perspectives: project management support, life-cycle coverage, type of practical guidance, adaptability in actual use, type of research objectives and existence of empirical evidence. The results show that agile software development methods cover, without offering any rationale, different phases of the software development life-cycle and that most of these methods fail to provide adequate project management support. Moreover, quite a few methods continue to offer little concrete guidance on how to use their solutions or how to adapt them in different development situations. Empirical evidence after ten years of application remains quite limited. Based on the results, new directions on agile methods are outlined.

Pronouns of politics : the use of pronouns in the construction of 'self' and 'other' in political interviews
Creators: name: Bramley, Nicolette Ruth
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2001
Subjects: political discourse • politics • interviews • pronouns • self • identity

description: Pronouns play a key role in the construction of ‘self’ and ‘other’. They are not merely a way of expressing person, number and gender as is suggested by traditional grammarians nor do they only do referential and deictic work. Rather, they must be thought of in the context of interaction and in terms of the ‘identity work’ that they accomplish. In this thesis, it is argued that pronouns are used to construct favourable images of themselves, and ‘others’.¶ The context of this study is the Australian political media interview. In this study, the pronouns ‘I’ ‘you’ ‘we’ and ‘they’ are examined individually, then, as they occur in sequence. This investigation reveals that pronouns are used to construct politicians’ multiple ‘selves’ and ‘others’ and that as they occur in sequence, the changing ‘selves’ of politicians and different ‘others’ are created. The construction of these multiple ‘selves’ and ‘others’ is a version of reality that politicians construct discursively and is not an objective representation of facts.¶ This analysis of pronouns in political interviews also reveals striking and hitherto unresearched uses of pronouns, which can be used to show affiliation or create distance between people where it would not traditionally be expected. Politicians actively exploit the flexibility of pronominal reference to construct the different identities of themselves and ‘other’ and use them to create different alignments to, and boundaries between, their multiple ‘selves’ and ‘others’. Thus, pronouns are pivotal in the construction of reality – a reality that is created and understood in the discourse of the moment.

description: We study the lowest order conservation laws in one-dimensional (1D) integrable quantum many-body models (IQM) as the Heisenberg spin 1/2 chain, the Hubbard and t-J model. We show that the energy current is closely related to the first conservation law in these models and therefore the thermal transport coefficients are anomalous. Using an inequality on the time decay of current correlations we show how the existence of conserved quantities implies a finite charge stiffness (weight of the zero frequency component of the conductivity) and so ideal conductivity at finite temperatures.

Geochemically tracing the intermediate and surface waters in the Tasman Sea, southwest Pacific

description: The relatively understudied intermediate waters of the world have been implicated as an important part of the global ocean circulation. This thesis discusses the intermediate waters of the Pacific over space and time. Initially, by using geochemical tracers to look at the present distribution, sources and mixing of the water masses. Secondly, by using oxygen and carbon isotopes from sediment cores to study changes in Antarctic Intermediate Waters (AAIW) over the late Quaternary in the north Tasman Sea. ¶ The geochemical tracers highlight the presence of three separate intermediate water masses in the Pacific: North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW), AAIW and Equatorial Intermediate Water (EqIW). The EqIW has previously been considered an extension of intermediate water masses to the north or south. The unique geochemical characteristics of EqIW indicate, however, that it cannot be formed by direct mixing of the NPIW and AAIW. Geochemical tracers suggest instead that EqIW must also include mixing with nutrient rich, oxygen deficient, old Pacific Deep Water (PDW). ...

Does it pay to go to school? The benefits of and participation in education of Indigenous Australians
Creators: name: Biddle, Nicholas
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2007
Subjects: Education • Human Capital • Indigenous Australians

description: Those who have finished high school and/or obtained non-school qualifications experience a range of positive outcomes throughout their lives. Despite these benefits being likely to apply to the Indigenous Australian population, current as well as past participation in education is substantially lower than that of the non-Indigenous population. Some reasons for this relatively low participation may be locational and monetary disadvantage, household overcrowding and a curriculum that is not always relevant. How Indigenous Australians form their expectations about the benefits of education and what these expectations might be (accurate or otherwise) may also influence educational participation. ¶ This thesis looks at the education outcomes of Indigenous Australians. There are two main research questions are examined. The first is what are the relative benefits of education for the Indigenous population? The main outcomes that are focussed on are employment and income; however, there is also analysis of the extent to which those with higher education levels report better health outcomes or more favourable health behaviour. ¶ The second main research question is what factors are associated with the decision to attend high school? That is, does the Indigenous population respond to the economic incentives to undertake education as estimated in this thesis? In addition, other factors at the individual, household and area level are likely to influence the social costs and benefits of education, as well as geographic and financial access. The extent to which these are associated with high school participation is also examined
Circumscribing constant-width bodies with polytopes

description: Makeev conjectured that every constant-width body is inscribed in the dual difference body of a regular simplex. We prove that homologically, there are an odd number of such circumscribing bodies in dimension 3, and therefore geometrically there is at least one. We show that the homological answer is zero in higher dimensions, a result which is inconclusive for the geometric question. We also give a partial generalization involving affine circumscription of strictly convex bodies.

description: For real-time semantic video segmentation, most recent works utilised a dynamic framework with a key scheduler to make online key/non-key decisions. Some works used a fixed key scheduling policy, while others proposed adaptive key scheduling methods based on heuristic strategies, both of which may lead to suboptimal global performance. To overcome this limitation, we model the online key decision process in dynamic video segmentation as a deep reinforcement learning problem and learn an efficient and effective scheduling policy from expert information about decision history and from the process of maximising global return. Moreover, we study the application of dynamic video segmentation on face videos, a field that has not been investigated before. By evaluating on the 300VW dataset, we show that the performance of our reinforcement key scheduler outperforms that of various baselines in terms of both effective key selections and running speed. Further results on the Cityscapes dataset demonstrate that our proposed method can also generalise to other scenarios. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to use reinforcement learning for online key-frame decision in dynamic video segmentation, and also the first work on its application on face videos.

description: In the present work, we examine to what degree the heat transfer can be described as developed on a macro-scale level in typical micro- and mini-channels with offset strip fin arrays subject to a uniform heat flux, considering flow entrance and side-wall effects. Full-scale numerical heat transfer simulations are conducted to determine the extent of the developed macro-scale heat transfer region within the arrays. We find that the onset point of developed heat transfer increases linearly with the Péclet number and channel width. However, the thermal development lengths remain limited relative to the overall channel length. Therefore, the local macro-scale heat transfer coefficient can be modeled by developed Nusselt number correlations with discrepancies below 25% in both the developed and developing heat transfer regions. We observe that quasi-developed heat transfer prevails over nearly the entire entrance region of the channel and significantly contributes to the main heat transfer characteristics, particularly the eigenvalues and amplitudes of the dominant temperature modes. Additionally, we analyze the impact of channel side walls on the temperature field's periodicity and the macro-scale temperature profile, which we characterize through an effective heat transfer coefficient. Our comprehensive numerical data covers various fin height-to-length ratios up to 1, fin pitch-to-length ratios up to 0.5, and channel aspect ratios ranging from 1/5 to 1/17, encompassing Reynolds numbers from 28 to 1224. Two sets of Prandtl number and thermal conductivity ratio are investigated, corresponding to the combinations of copper/air, and copper/water.

The experimental results are successfully explained by our neuron model, and the remarkable fact that the chaotic stimuli in the nonstationary regime produce the largest LTP is discussed.

description: Certain notorious nonlinear binary codes contain more codewords than any known linear code. These include the codes constructed by Nordstrom-Robinson, Kerdock, Preparata, Goethals, and Delsarte-Goethals. It is shown here that all these codes can be very simply constructed as binary images under the Gray map of linear codes over Z_4, the integers mod 4 (although this requires a slight modification of the Preparata and Goethals codes). The construction implies that all these binary codes are distance invariant. Duality in the Z_4 domain implies that the binary images have dual weight distributions. The Kerdock and "Preparata" codes are duals over Z_4 -- and the Nordstrom-Robinson code is self-dual -- which explains why their weight distributions are dual to each other. The Kerdock and "Preparata" codes are Z_4-analogues of first-order Reed-Muller and extended Hamming codes, respectively. All these codes are extended cyclic codes over Z_4, which greatly simplifies encoding and decoding. An algebraic hard-decision decoding algorithm is given for the "Preparata" code and a Hadamard-transform soft-decision decoding algorithm for the Kerdock code. Binary first- and second-order Reed-Muller codes are also linear over Z_4, but extended Hamming codes of length n >= 32 and the Golay code are not. Using Z_4-linearity, a new family of distance regular graphs are constructed on the cosets of the "Preparata" code.

Bell non-locality and Kochen-Specker contextuality: How are they connected?

description: Bell non-locality and Kochen-Specker (KS) contextuality are logically independent concepts, fuel different protocols with quantum vs classical advantage, and have distinct classical simulation costs. A natural question is what are the relations between these concepts, advantages, and costs. To address this question, it is useful to have a map that captures all the connections between Bell non-locality and KS contextuality in quantum theory. The aim of this work is to introduce such a map. After defining the theory-independent notions of Bell non-locality and KS contextuality for ideal measurements, we show that, in quantum theory, due to Neumark's dilation theorem, every matrix of quantum Bell non-local correlations can be mapped to an identical matrix of KS contextual correlations produced in a scenario with identical relations of compatibility but where measurements are ideal and no space-like separation is required. A more difficult problem is identifying connections in the opposite direction. We show that there are "one-to-one" and partial connections between KS contextual correlations and Bell non-local correlations for some KS contextuality scenarios, but not for all of them. However, there is also a method that transforms any matrix of KS contextual correlations for quantum systems of dimension $d$ into a matrix of Bell non-local correlations between two quantum subsystems each of them of dimension $d$. We collect all these connections in map and list some problems which can benefit from this map.

Importance subsampling: improving power system planning under climate-based uncertainty

description: Recent studies indicate that the effects of inter-annual climate-based variability in power system planning are significant and that long samples of demand & weather data (spanning multiple decades) should be considered. At the same time, modelling renewable generation such as solar and wind requires high temporal resolution to capture fluctuations in output levels. In many realistic power system models, using long samples at high temporal resolution is computationally unfeasible. This paper introduces a novel subsampling approach, referred to as "importance subsampling", allowing the use of multiple decades of demand & weather data in power system planning models at reduced computational cost. The methodology can be applied in a wide class of optimisation-based power system simulations. A test case is performed on a model of the United Kingdom created using the open-source modelling framework Calliope and 36 years of hourly demand and wind data. Standard data reduction approaches such as using individual years or clustering into representative days lead to significant errors in estimates of optimal system design. Furthermore, the resultant power systems lead to supply capacity shortages, raising questions of generation capacity adequacy. In contrast, "importance subsampling" leads to accurate estimates of optimal system design at greatly reduced computational cost, with resultant power systems able to meet demand across all 36 years of demand & weather scenarios.

description: After over two decades of development, Subway has become one of the main transit modes for people's everyday commute, and is considered to attract and form retail clusters around subway stations. Based on a point of interest (POI) dataset of retail stores in Shanghai, this study looks into the geographic distribution of retail stores in Shanghai and examines its spatial relationship with subway network. The retails stores are classified into six types: department stores, specialty stores, convenience stores, restaurants and groceries, recreational facilities and personal service facilities. A series of spatial statistical analysis for measuring geographic distribution, analyzing geographic patterns and mapping clusters are conducted. The spatial pattern shows consistence to the polycentric urban structure of Shanghai and subway stations. In addition, six retail types reveal different extent of spatial clustering at different analysis scales. Last but not least, to qualify the spatial relationship between retail density and other influence factors, including density of population and local bus service, as well as the accessibility to subway station, Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) linear regression is conducted. It turns out that the Kernel Density estimation of retail stores is positively related to population density, bus stop density and existence of subway service, while negatively affected by distance from subway stations. Bus stop density tend to be the most significant influential factors, while department stores enjoy a relatively stronger correlation with distance from subway stations compared to other retail types.

description: We prove that in positive characteristic a module with good filtration for a group of type E6 restricts to a module with good filtration for a subgroup of type F4. (Recall that a filtration of a module for a semisimple algebraic group is called good if its layers are dual Weyl modules.) Our result confirms a conjecture of Brundan for one more case. The method relies on the canonical Frobenius splittings of Mathieu. Next we settle the remaining cases, in characteristic not 2, with a computer-aided variation on the old method of Donkin.

description: DESCRIPTION OF PAUCILACTOBACILLUS GEN. NOV.
 Paucilactobacillus (Pau.ci.lac.to.ba.cil’lus. L. masc. adj. paucus few; N.L. masc. n. Lactobacillus a bacterial genus name; N.L. masc. n. Paucilactobacillus a lactobacillus that ferments few carbohydrates).
 Gram positive, rod-shaped, catalase negative, heterofermentative, and aerotolerant. Growth is observed at between 20 and 37 °C. Several species are psychrotrophic but Paucilactobacillus suebicus grows at 45 °C. Strains in this genus were predominantly isolated from fermented plant material including silage, pickles, and fruit mashes. The adaptation to hexose depleted habitats is indicated by the lack of mannitol dehydrogenase in many strains of the genus; among heterofermentative lactobacilli, this property is shared only with Secundilactobacillus that is isolated from related habitats. Paucilactobacillus species preferentially metabolise pentoses and many strains do not ferment disaccharides. The mol% G+C content of DNA ranges from 35.6 to 43.5; and the genome size ranges from 1.75 to 2.57 Mbp.
 A phylogenetic tree on the basis of 16S rRNA genes of all species in the genus Paucilactobacillus is provided in Figure S 6M.
 The type species of the genus is Paucilactobacillus vaccinostercus comb. nov.; Paucilactobacillus was previously referred to as L. vaccinostercus group.

description: Smart matter consists of many sensors, computers and actuators embedded within materials. These microelectromechanical systems allow properties of the materials to be adjusted under program control. In this context, we study the behavior of several organizations for distributed control of unstable physical systems and show how a hierarchical organization is a reasonable compromise between rapid local responses with simple communication and the use of global knowledge. Using the properties of random matrices, we show that this holds not only in ideal situations but also when imperfections and delays are present in the system. We also introduce a new control organization, the multihierarchy, and show it is better than a hierarchy in achieving stability. The multihierarchy also has a position invariant response that can control disturbances at the appropriate scale and location.
