Meta-theoretical applications of semiotics to psychotherapy
Creators: name: Olbrei, Ilmar Fred
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1977

description: Most semiotic approaches to psychotherapy involve the application of semiotic concepts directly to manifestations of psychological disorder, and constitute an alternative to more traditional approaches. This essay explores the utility of applying semiotics to psychotherapy as a meta-theoretical framework. Psychoanalytic theory is studied first, due to the fact that there already exists a tradition of applying a semiotic reading to Freudian theory within French structuralism. Using a different approach, it is shown here that Freud's most important discovery, the interplay of unconscious and conscious processes, is actually formulated in terms of sign phenomena, and the distinction between the two corresponds to a distinction between two types of representation involving notions of continuity and discreteness, respectively. other theories are examined to see if they yield the same dimension. To facilitate this process, Carkhuff's eclectic model of therapy, claimed by him to constitute a 'theoretic convergence' of all existing approaches to psychotherapy, is evaluated. This model turns out to represent a fusion of humanist and behaviourist schools, but is largely opposed to the psychoanalytic school. However, since its ideological commitment is virtually identical with that of Rogers' approach, it is reasoned that Rogers' theory can be regarded as an approximate representative of those approaches generally opposed to Freud. A semiotic analysis of Rogers' theory reveals the same dimension that was identified in Freudian theory. It is suggested that such a dimension may well be an essential feature of psychotherapy in general; this being the case, psychotherapy can be seen to imply a philosophical position that differs radically from the rationalism that has dominated most of traditional science and philosophy. From a more narrow point of view, it is concluded that the meta-theoretical application of semiotics serves to give a particularly useful perspective for the evaluation of theories of psychotherapy, and in particular, serves to emphasise the continuing (if not increased) relevance of Freudian theory for today.
Configuration and context: a study of spatial patterns in social encounters
Creators: name: Ciolek, Thaddeus Matthew
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1977

description: In this thesis we shall attempt to show the way in which occasions of face-to-face interaction are spatially structured, and how this spatial structuring is related to the immediate context of the gathering. A series of detailed observations of gatherings in an urban pedestrian setting will be reported and analysed from the point of view of their relationship to the physical and social features of the setting itself. These observations will lead us to propose some of the ways in which spatial configurations adopted by a gathering serve not only the requirements of the communication arrangements internal to the gathering - a topic which has received considerable attention in the literature, but also the requirements that the gathering has of maintaining its relationship with that of its surroundings. These "external" relationships are aimed at securing the configuration's integrity as a gathering, and so separating it off from its surroundings, while at the same time helping to keep it sufficiently alive to what is going on around it so that the encounter as a whole can adapt to its surroundings. Particular attention will be paid to the spatial relationships of gatherings to features of other people. As we shall see, gatherings in public settings space themselves both in relation to one another and in relation to features of the physical environment, in consistent patterns. The spacing patterns observed are suggested to facilitate the process by which participants in face-to-face encounters may attend to and adapt to the flux of events around them, as they sustain a coherent interactional event within the frame of the encounter.

Inter-rural migration and circulation in Indonesia : the case of West Java
Creators: name: Rusli, Said
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1978
Subjects: subject: Migration, Internal Indonesia Jawa Barat

description: Migration studies in Indonesia have been concentrated mostly on the examination of 'transmigration', and the estimation of net migration between regions and islands. Also, there have been a few studies on rural-urban population mobility. Commonly, all these works have been at the macro-level of analysis. The main objective of this study has been to examine population mobility between villages. Specifically, aspects such as inter-rural migration, inter-rural circulation and commuting between villages have been investigated. The study deals more with micro-analysis than macro analysis. It is based mainly upon the survey data from 14 villages of the West Java Population Mobility Survey, 1973 . The survey villages are from different parts of West Java. The findings of this study amply illustrate the fact that the nature and process of population movement between the villages cannot be well understood unless migration (permanent movement), circulation and commuting (temporary movement) are considered simultaneously. This study found that the inter-rural permanent movements were not dominated by economic motives. On the other hand the dominant economic motives of most inter-rural circulators and commuters were clear. Most migrants, circulators and commuters were not farmers but were among the newly emerging groups in rural areas. Marriage migration had a unique position in the context of inter-rural migration. Finally, this study emphasized that in the context of Indonesia's development, migration (permanent movement), circulation and commuting (temporary movement) should be considered separately.
On singularities of the mixed state phase

description: A recent proposal of Sjoqvist et.al. to extend Pancharatnam's criterion for phase difference between two different pure states to the case of mixed states in quantum mechanics is analyzed and the existence of phase singularities in the parameter space of an interference experiment with particles in mixed states pointed out. In the vicinity of such singular points the phase changes sharply and precisely at these points it becomes undefined. A closed circuit in the parameter space around such points results in a measurable phase shift equal to 2nπ, where n is an integer. Such effects have earlier been observed in interference experiments with pure polarization states of light, a system isomorphic to the spin-1/2 system in quantum mechanics. Implications of phase singularities for the interpretation of experiments with partially polarized and unpolarized neutrons are discussed. New kinds of topological phases involving variables representing decoherence (depolarization) of pure states are predicted and experiments to verify them suggested.

description: Using the VLT together with the near infrared instrument ISAAC, we have obtained medium spectral and high spatial resolution observations of a sample of nearby Seyfert galaxies in the H-band. This band is particularly suited for stellar population studies since the stellar component dominates over the AGN nucleus. The H-band also includes the peak contribution from cool stars. The AGN spectra are very rich in strong metallic lines which are sensitive to stellar luminosity class. For 4 out of 5 galaxies the central velocity dispersions are found to be significantly lower than reported in previous studies. Gradients in the stellar population within the central regions were searched for, together with evidence for dilution of the stellar spectral features within the nucleus.

description: We report a solar coronal split-band type II radio burst that was observed on 2016 March 16 with the Gauribidanur Radio Spectro-Polarimeter (GRASP) in the frequency range $\approx$\,90\,-\,50 MHz, and the Gauribidanur RadioheliograPH (GRAPH) at two discrete frequencies, viz. 80 MHz and 53.3 MHz. Observations around the same epoch in extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) and white-light show that the above burst was associated with a flux rope structure and a coronal mass ejection (CME), respectively. The combined height-time plot generated using EUV, radio, and whitelight data suggest that the different observed features (i.e. the flux rope, type II burst and the CME) are all closely associated. We constructed an empirical model for the coronal electron density distribution ($N_{e}(r)$, where $r$ is the heliocentric distance) from the above set of observations themselves and used it to estimate the coronal magnetic field strength ($B$) over the range of $r$ values in which the respective events were observed. The $B$ values are consistent with each other. They vary as $B(r)\,=\,2.61 \times r^{-2.21}$ \textrm{G} in the range $r \approx$\,1.1\,-\,2.2$\rm R_{\odot}$. As far as we know, similar `direct' estimates of $B$ in the near-Sun corona without assuming a model for $N_{e}(r)$, and by combining co-temporal set of observations in two different regions (radio and whitelight) of the electromagnetic spectrum, have rarely been reported. Further, the present work is a novel attempt where the characteristics of a propagating EUV flux rope structure, considered to be the signature of a CME close the Sun, have been used to estimate $B(r)$ in the corresponding distance range.

Our approach is to apply the usual solution generating techniques to an appropriate time-dependent solution of the eleven dimensional vacuum Einstein equations. In this way all SDp-brane solutions are obtained, as well as the NS and M-theory space branes. Bound states of SDp/SD(p-2)- and SDp/SD(p-4)-branes are also constructed. Finally, we begin an investigation of the near-brane regions and singularity structure of these solutions.

description: Human intervention, pre-human climate change (or a combination of both), as well as genetic effects, contribute to species extinctions. While many species from oceanic islands have gone extinct due to direct human impacts, the effects of pre-human climate change and human settlement on the genomic diversity of insular species and the role that loss of genomic diversity played in their extinctions remains largely unexplored. To address this question, we sequenced whole genomes of two extinct New Zealand passerines, the huia (Heteralocha acutirostris) and South Island kōkako (Callaeas cinereus). Both species showed similar demographic trajectories throughout the Pleistocene. However, the South Island kōkako continued to decline after the last glaciation, while the huia experienced some recovery. Moreover, there was no indication of inbreeding resulting from recent mating among closely related individuals in either species. This latter result indicates that population fragmentation associated with forest clearing by Maōri may not have been strong enough to lead to an increase in inbreeding and exposure to genomic erosion. While genomic erosion may not have directly contributed to their extinctions, further habitat fragmentation and the introduction of mammalian predators by Europeans may have been an important driver of extinction in huia and South Island kōkako.

description: Preparation of a quantum register is an important step in quantum computation and quantum information processing. It is straightforward to build a simple quantum state such as $|i_1 i_2 ... i_n\ket$ with $i_j$ being either 0 or 1, but is a non-trivial task to construct an {\it arbitrary} superposed quantum state. In this Paper, we present a scheme that can most generally initialize a quantum register with an arbitrary superposition of basis states. Implementation of this scheme requires $O(Nn^2)$ standard 1- and 2-bit gate operations, {\it without introducing additional quantum bits}. Application of the scheme in some special cases is discussed.

A theorem of Petersen concerning the relation between the multidimensional and one-dimensional moment problems is extended for half-lines and compact subsets of the real line. These results are used to solve the moment problem for the quantum phase space observables generated by the number states.

The bicycle in rural Australia : a study of man, machine and milieu
Creators: name: Fitzpatrick, James Douglas
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1978

description: The use cf the bicycle in rural Australia represented a propitious and effective blending of man, machine and environment. The pneumatic tyred safety bicycle was available in Australia by 1890; it was both imported and locally assembled. The bicycle and tyres were strong, durable, lightweight, and easy to repair. They required little modification for use in rural Australia, although some ingenious adaptations were applied to preventing punctures and increasing cargo carrying capacity. The terrain, vegetation and climate as well as political, economic, and social factors encouraged its widespread adoption. The machine did not require food or water nor did it eat poisonous plants. The highly energy-efficient cyclist was generally two to three times as fast as a pedestrian, horse or camel in most circumstances, whether on or off roads, and could carry up to 150 pounds (68 kilograms) of cargo in the process. Its first significant use in rural areas was on the Western Australian goldfields from late 1893 and by 1900 cyclists had crisscrossed the continent. The bicycle was adopted in large numbers in eastern Australia from about 1900. It was used, among others, by shearers, pipeline and rabbit fence patrols, commercial travellers, professional men, and for mustering and droving, persisting in some of these roles until about 1960. The machine's decline, from about 1920, was related to the introduction of the motor car; the motorcycle was not a significant factor in the transition. The bicycle was responsible for the development of extensive touring, including alpine areas, and resulted in the first Australian road maps, touring guides and tourist organisations. The bicycle was a factor in plant dispersal. Its former use has raised some questions concerning the appropriateness of modern bicycle design and use in Australia. Its low profile in the written record is explained by its utilitarian nature and its inability to compete in romantic appeal with the image of horse and man in the landscape that was emerging as part of the 'Australian Legend'. The nature and extent of the rural Australian experience with the bicycle may be unique.

description: To understand which users’ characteristics influence their preferences in the selection of vehicle seating configurations and positions across different traveling scenarios involving a fully automated vehicle (FAV). Participants (n = 730) completed an online survey in which they were asked to imagine traveling in a FAV across three hypothetical scenarios. Participants were asked to select between five different seating configurations and four positions for each scenario and about their anthropometry and their driving/riding experience. Multinomial regression analyses were conducted to identify the factors that influenced users’ preferences. FAV Configuration #3 (traditional light vehicle seating configuration) was the preferred seating configuration for 74% of the participants, followed by FAV #2 (in which the two seating rows face each other, 13%) in Scenario 1 (riding by oneself). Similar numbers were observed in Scenario 3 (riding with an unknown person). In Scenario 2 (riding with their partner), participants preferred FAV #2 (12.5%) and FAV #5 (in which the front seat passengers point toward a common point in the front, conventional rear seat configuration, 17.5%). Having close family was significant to choose the traditional vehicle configuration over other vehicle configurations, but only when the participants were driving by themselves. Having previously experienced motion sickness was significant to prefer a forward seating configuration when the trip was shared with partners. Belonging to a particular height or weight group was significantly associated with the preferred seat within the preferred FAV configuration (the driver’s position in FAV #3; a rear-facing seat in FAV #2), although there was not a clear trend between increasing weight and/or height and preferring one seating position over the others. Previous work had shown differences in participants’ preferences for seating configurations and positions depending on age, sex and country. While increasing the sample size, the current study analyses other factors that were associated with choosing one vehicle configuration and seating position over others. As these factors are directly related to the likelihood of sustaining injuries in the event of a crash, the current study provides important insights regarding the potential risk factors for FAV occupants.

The recent accumulation of enormous amounts of sequence data allows for the development of novel, data-driven computational approaches. Notably, these approaches can bridge scales within a single statistical framework. While being currently applied mostly to isolated problems on single scales, their immense potential for an evolutionary informed, structural systems biology is steadily emerging.

The earliest text of Ch'an Buddhism : the long scroll
Creators: name: Jorgensen, John A
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1979

description: This thesis aims to present a translation of the work that is usually considered to be the oldest source for Chinese Ch'an. I have titled it the Long Scroll rather than the Erh-ju ssu-hsing lun or Ta-mo lun because these latter titles are confusing and ill-defined. Long Scroll is a translation of the name Suzuki Daisetsu gave it. This name is the most appropriate for we do not know what its original title was. Moreover, a complete copy of it has not been found or identified. There is a work that is sometimes said to be older than the Long Scroll as a source of Ch'an. Sekiguchi Shindai has tried to prove that.the Ta-mo ch'an-shi lun was a work by Bodhidharma. However, Nakagawa Taka has put forward a more plausible argument that this work was written by Tao-hsin or a member of his group. The Ta-mo ch'an shih lun was probably the first Ch'an book of precepts or Vinaya, and in my opinion was for beginners, whereas the Long Scroll was for 'qualified Buddhists. Other authors have asserted that the 'wall-contemplation' and 'entry via Principle' that is unique to the theory attributed to Bodhidharma in the Long Scroll had its origin in the Chin-kang san-mei ching. However, Mizuno Kogen has shown that the sutra is a forgery that was written between 649 and 665A.D. The chapter of the Chin-kang san-mei ching in which 'wall-contemplation' appears also has terms created by Tao-hsin and Hung-jen, so it was probably written to give a scriptural basis for the theories preached by all the earlier Ch'an patriarchs. Therefore it is my opinion that the Long Scroll is definitely the oldest Ch'an text in existence. It has been long forgotten, and only attracted the attention of a modern scholar for the first time in 1935, when D.T.Suzuki discovered a manuscript of it that had been unearthed at Tun-huang. He found that the first half of it corresponded to the Erh-ju chung. that is in the Korean collection, the Ch'an-men ts'o-yao. In 1936 he published the first edition of the Long Scroll. This was accompanied by background information and some comments on the contents. It was revised with the aid of another manuscript, Stein 2715, and was printed in the Zenshisoshi-kenkyu II in 1951. In 1965 Tanaka Ryosho discovered three fragments of Tun-huang manuscripts. that corresponded to parts of the Long Scroll that had been identified by Suzuki.

description: We present spectro-polarimetric observations of Inter-Network magnetic fields at the solar disk center. A Fabry-Perot spectrometer was used to scan the two Fe I lines at 6301.5 A and 6302.5 A. High spatial resolution (0.5") magnetograms were obtained after speckle reconstruction. The patches with magnetic fields above noise cover approximately 45% of the observed area. Such large coverage renders a mean unsigned magnetic flux density of some 20 G (or 20 Mx/cm^2), which exceeds all previous measurements. Magnetic signals occur predominantly in intergranular spaces. The systematic difference between the flux densities measured in the two iron lines leads to the conclusion that, typically, we detect structures with intrinsic field strengths larger than 1kG occupying only 2% of the surface.

description: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was a watershed moment in American animation. A stylized animated adaptation of Marvel Comics’ Spider-Man comics that drew directly on the aesthetics and visual language of comics, Into the Spider-Verse signaled a stylistic shift toward stylized aesthetics and imagery that aligned narrative and visuals and diverged from photorealistic aesthetics by drawing from diverse visual languages and aesthetics. The influence of Into the Spider-Verse, and its 2023 sequel Across the Spider-Verse, on the visual style of American animation serves as context for an exploration of how the films’ synthesis of aesthetics, visual languages and narratives from multiple visual mediums can inspire creators to reframe how they conceive of graphic narratives, visualize narrative, and adapt graphic narratives across visual mediums. The intersection between aesthetics and narrative in the Spider-Verse films challenges an emphasis on realism in the aesthetics of visual narratives in mainstream American visual narrative media that flatten visual signatures. The Spider-Verse films contest this emphasis on a mainstream stage and arrive in a landscape where audiences have greater access to a diverse visual storytelling aesthetics modes and mediums. This exploration uses analysis aesthetics and the synthesis of visual languages in the Spider-Verse films to demonstrate how the films offer a model for conceptualizing and visualizing narratives and explore how the convergence of aesthetics and visual language in the depiction of characters, environments, and scenes in the Spider-Verse films inspire creators to reframe the thinking that informs the conceptualizing, writing, and visualizing stories for scripted media.

Cash, cattle, and coffee : the cultural ecology of economic development in the highlands of Papua New Guinea
Creators: name: Grossman, Lawrence Seymour
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1979

description: This thesis is concerned with the adaptations made by a village population in the highlands of Papua New Guinea to the new environments created in the process of economic development. The perspective of the cultural ecology of economic development. is used to examine the impact of cash-earning activities on the natural environment, the subsistence system, and the structure of social relationships. The analysis of the intricate linkages and feedback relationships within the local system as well as those binding it to the outside world are emphasised in this perspective. The impact on the subsistence system is stressed because resource-use activities provide the link between the human population and the natural environment. The major focus is on the effects of the introduction of smallholder cattle projects. The structure of social relationships in the village has changed significantly. Economic differentiation has increased as cattle project leaders, who use their relatively exclusive links with government agencies to legitimate their control over the projects and the enclosed land,receive a disproportionate share of the revenues. Environmental degradation has also occurred. Overgrazing resulted in weed infestations, an increase in soil bulk density, and accelerated erosion, which reduce the agricultural utility of the land. The enclosure of a large area near the hamlets for the cattle projects has displaced subsistence gardens farther from the village. As a result, the burden o£ harvesting has increased, the quality of garden maintenance has declined, and more gardens are located in the zone of maximum danger from sorcery. In addition, the allocation of much time to constructing cattle projects caused a decline in planting subsistence gardens and a subsequent food shortage, which was exacerbated by the depredations of.the village pigs. The analysis is extended to include the impact of coffee production and other externally-derived activities such as beer drinking and gambling. The allocation of time to these activities decreases labour inputs into the subsistence system. It is concluded that the enthusiastic commitment to cash-related activities in the village reduces the flexibility of the subsistence system, its level of production, and its resilience. As a result, the previous condition of subsistence affluence has changed to one of subsistence malaise. A comparative perspective reveals that the changes occurring in the village are widespread, though not universal; cash-earning activities often have a detrimental effect on the natural environment and the subsistence system, foster greater individualism, and facilitate an increase in economic differentiation. It is concluded that the nature of the linkage between the local system and the external, dominating system is the critical variable in influencing the impact of cash-earning activities on village systems.

title: Development of a Novel General-purpose Three-dimensional Continuously Scanning Laser Doppler Vibrometer System
Creators: name: Yuan, Ke
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2024

description: The objective of this work is to develop a novel general-purpose three-dimensional (3D) continuously scanning laser Doppler vibrometer (CSLDV) system for 3D vibration measurement of structures with arbitrarily curved surfaces. This work is motivated by the fact that 3D full-field vibration measurement is significant to structures, especially those with curved and complex surfaces such as turbine blades, vehicle bodies, and aircraft wings. Modal tests that obtain vibration components along three axes of a coordinate system can provide more information and locate defects on more complex structures than those that only obtain single-axis vibration, and can improve the accuracy of their structural health monitoring. 3D full-field vibration can also be used to identify dynamic characteristics of a complex structure and update its finite element model during structural analysis and product design where vibration must be determined in all its components. A triaxial accelerometer can be attached on a structure to measure its 3D vibrations, which can lead to mass loading, especially when multiple triaxial accelerometers are needed in modal tests of light-weight structures. A 3D scanning laser Doppler vibrometer (SLDV) system can be used to measure 3D vibration of a structure in a non-contact. However, it usually takes the 3D SLDV system a long time to obtain high spatial resolution, especially for structures with large surfaces, because laser spots must stay at one measurement point for enough time before they are moved to the next one to conduct more averages of measurement data when high frequency resolution is needed. The 3D CSLDV system proposed in this work can rapidly obtain 3D full-field vibration shapes, such as mode shapes and operating deflection shapes (ODSs) of a structure, in a non-contact way by sweeping three laser spots over its surface in a continuous and synchronous mode. The universality of the system lies in its capability to measure vibration of structures with various shapes, including flat, curved, and difficult-to-access areas, as well as structures under various excitation, including sinusoidal and random excitation. The major contributions of this work include: 1) developing a calibration method to achieve synchronous scanning of three laser spots, and improving it to fit measurement on curved surfaces and virtual surfaces behind a mirror; and 2) developing a signal processing method to identify modal parameters of structures under random excitation.

Duality and Spontaneously Broken Supergravity in Flat Backgrounds

description: It is shown that the super Higgs mechanism that occurs in a wide class of models with vanishing cosmological constant (at the classical level) is obtained by the gauging of a flat group which must be an electric subgroup of the duality group. If the residual massive gravitinos which occur in the partial supersymmetry breaking are BPS saturated, then the flat group is non abelian. This is so for all the models obtained by a Scherk-Schwarz supersymmetry breaking mechanism. If gravitinos occur in long multiplets, then the flat groups may be abelian. This is the case of supersymmetry breaking by string compactifications on an orientifold T^6/Z_2 with non trivial brane fluxes.

Time and time travel
Creators: name: Balnaves, Paul Andrew
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1980

description: This work is an exploration of the idea of time travel in relation to general theories of time. It is neither a defence nor a repudiation of time travel, but seeks to find ultimate ground for the plausibility of the idea. Consequently it attempts to set up the concept of time travel as securely as possible, and does so by emphasising that travel has ultimately an analogical sense. Having thus established time travel without the supposition of any general theory of time, the work goes on to consider general theories of time in order to locate the idea of time travel within them. Of special interest is the theory of space-time, which is eminently suited to the idea of time travel. My concern there is not however with the establishment of time travel, but rather with the conflict between the philosophy of space-time and the philosophy which bases the theory of time on the nature of the human experience of it. The character of the opposition between these philosophies renders them complementary and consequently one or other should be capable of excluding time travel. The conclusion is that the plausibility of time travel rests on the fact that neither of these philosophies is capable of excluding time travel on general metaphysical or epistemological grounds. In finishing the work discusses the facts and logic of human power and knowledge, and points to the possible existence of a general epistemological principle the lack of which is the reason for the survival of time travel.
The CORALS Survey II: Clues to Galaxy Clustering Around QSOs from z_abs ~ z_em Damped Lyman Alpha Systems

description: We present a list of z_abs ~ z_em (Delta v < 3000 km/s) DLAs discovered during the CORALS survey for absorbers in a radio-selected QSO sample. On the assumption that z_abs ~ z_em DLAs are neither ejecta from the QSO, nor part of the host galaxy itself, we use the number density statistics of these DLAs to investigate galaxy clustering near the QSO redshift. We find that n(z) of z_abs z_em DLAs in our radio-selected QSO sample is ~4 times larger than the number density of intervening DLAs, implying an excess of galaxies near the QSO. This result is further supported with the inclusion of the radio-loud QSOs in the FIRST survey, although the total number of DLAs is still small (4) and the result is currently only significant at approximately the 2 sigma level. Since all of the z_abs ~ z_em DLAs we identify in CORALS are found towards optically bright (B < 20) QSOs, there is no strong evidence (based on these limited statistics) that this population suffers from a severe dust bias. We compare our results with those from an optically-selected, radio-quiet QSO sample in order to determine whether there is evidence for an excess of galaxies around radio-loud versus radio-quiet QSOs. We find that the n(z) of z_abs ~ z_em DLAs towards radio-quiet QSOs is in agreement with the number density of intervening absorbers. This result, although currently limited by the small number statistics of our survey, supports the conclusion that radio-loud quasars are found preferentially in rich galaxy environments at high redshift. Finally, we report that one of the new z_abs ~ z_em DLAs discovered by CORALS has some residual flux in the base of the Lya trough which may be due to Lya emission, either from star formation in the DLA galaxy or from gas photoionised by the QSO.

description: Driving simulation is an important platform for studying vehicle automation. There are different approaches to using this platform – with most using scripting or programmatic tools to simulate vehicle automation. A less frequently used approach, the Wizard-of-Oz method, has potential for increased flexibility and efficiency in designing and conducting experiments. This study designed and evaluated an experimental setup to examine the feasibility of this approach as an alternative for conducting automation studies. Twenty-four participants experienced simulated vehicle automation in two platforms, one where the automation was controlled by algorithms, and the other where the automation was simulated by an external operator. Surveys were administered after each drive and the drivers’ takeover performance after the automation disengaged was measured. Results indicate that while the kinematic parameters of the driving differed significantly for the two platforms, there were no significant differences in the perceptions of participants and in their takeover performance between the two platforms. These results provide evidence for the use of alternative approaches for the conduct of human factors studies on vehicle automation, potentially lowering barriers to undertaking such experiments while increasing flexibility in designing more complex studies.

description: We give a proof that entanglement purification, even with noisy apparatus, is sufficient to disentangle an eavesdropper (Eve) from the communication channel. Our proof applies to all possible attacks (individual and coherent). Due to the quantum nature of the entanglement purification protocol, it is also possible to use the obtained quantum channel for secure transmission of quantum information.
