description: The dissertation explores how the njai was represented in Malay language literature of the Indies up to the outbreak of World War II. Njais were the native mistresses of foreigners, usually Europeans. They could be required to fulfil many duties: that of housekeepers, cooks, laundry maids, language teachers, financial consultants and mothers, but it is in the role of sexual partners or mistresses that njais are best known. There are many other facets to the meaning of njai that I shall explore more thoroughly later in this chapter.

description: Spin relaxation time of conduction electrons through the Elliot-Yafet, D'yakonov-Perel and Bir-Aronov-Pikus mechanisms is calculated theoretically for bulk GaAs, GaSb, InAs and InSb of both $n$- and $p$-type. Relative importance of each spin relaxation mechanism is compared and the diagrams showing the dominant mechanism are constructed as a function of temperature and impurity concentrations. Our approach is based upon theoretical calculation of the momentum relaxation rate and allows understanding of the interplay between various factors affecting the spin relaxation over a broad range of temperature and impurity concentration.

T y p e m a t e r i a l Holotype, Sabah, Danum Valley, B.R.L., f.i.t., 14-16.II.2007, G. de Rougemont leg. (CROU).
D e s c r i p t i o n: Length 2.12 mm. Body shiny, yellowish-brown, head and elytra brown, antennae brown with the two basal antennomeres yellowish-brown, legs yellow. Second antennomere shorter than the first, third shorter than the second, fourth to tenth transverse. Eyes longer than the postocular region in dorsal view. Fore-body devoid of reticulation, that of the abdomen irregular, polygonal, evident. Puncturation of the head very superficial and absent on frons. Granulation of pronotum and elytra very superficial and evanescent, that of the abdomen fine and evident. The pronotum bears four punctures disposed in a square, but the puncture of the right anterior angle is missing. No secondary sexual characters on the female fifth free abdominal tergite. Spermatheca: Fig. 93.
 C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s: The spermatheca of the new species is similar in shape to that of P. bituberculata PACE, 2003 from West Malaysia but the apical umbilicus of the distal bulb of the spermatheca is enormous in the new species, and absent in of P. bituberculata. Moreover the length of the spermatheca of the new species is 0.2 mm, while in P. bituberculata it is 0.27 mm.
E t y m o l o g y: The name of the new species means "of the fullness" in reference to the distal bulb of the spermatheca with its enormous apical umbilicus that fills the entire internal space.

description: The universality class of the dynamic magnetisation-reversal transition, induced by a competing field pulse, in an Ising model on a square lattice, below its static ordering temperature, is studied here using Monte Carlo simulations. Fourth order cumulant of the order parameter distribution is studied for different system sizes around the phase boundary region. The crossing point of the cumulant (for different system sizes) gives the transition point and the value of the cumulant at the transition point indicates the universality class of the transition. The cumulant value at the crossing point for low temperature and pulse width range is observed to be significantly less than that for the static transition in the same two-dimensional Ising model. The finite size scaling behaviour in this range also indicates a higher correlation length exponent value. For higher temperature and pulse width range, the transition seems to fall in a mean-field like universality class.

Aspects of social development in new countries: impacts of immigration on nation-building and state formation
Creators: name: Kitaoji, Hiranobu
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1976

description: Nation-building and state formation have been primary aspects of social development in New Countries; i.e., the United States, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, and Canada. Part of the reason for this is sought in the retardation of ethnic and geographic integration, deriving from the fact that these five countries have large territories and relatively short histories of settlement. These two properties in combination distinguish them from the rest of the world, particularly in respect to effects on social development. Moreover, as these countries have received the largest \ volume of immigration recorded in history, the problem of the ethnic and geographic integration involved in nation-building and state formation was reshaped during the mass immigration period of 1880 to 1930. The distinctive characteristics of their social development from settlement colonies to modern states have frequently been referred to in the social science literature and in the historiography of New Countries, but there has been little success in constructing a model of the social development in New Countries. Immigration studies, on the other hand, have been either too general or too specific to differentiate uniqueness from generality in the social effects of immigration in New Countries. In the present study, the process of nation-building and state formation is not analysed in economic or social psychological terms but from a social structural perspective. Social demographic data are analysed in conjunction with qualitative documents in order to explicate the interactive patterns of social classes. The analysis of social demographic data was facilitated by the decomposition of the total societal system into six dimensions of social differentiation: ethnic, regional, urban, family-role, industrial, and occupational. Special emphasis was given to changes in the ethnic, regional and urban dimensions because these three dimensions are directly related to nation-building and .state formation processes. However, changes in the other three dimensions are briefly discussed as well. The analysis of social demographic changes and changes generated by the interaction of social classes showed a parallelism in nation-building and state formation in particular, and social development in general, among these New Countries
Hand-in Hand, community music program : a case study

description: This thesis comprises a detailed study of the Hand-in-Hand (HiH) program, a community music program with a philosophy of making music for the benefit of others. In practical terms, the program involves school children visiting nursing homes to sing with, and activate the residents. This program is based in Canberra, in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). It is organized and run by staff from the School of Music at the Australian National University, and from the ACT Education Department, and based primarily at Ainslie Primary School. The thesis explores and describes the HiH program including its philosophy, methodology, practical application and short-term outcomes. It discusses whether the program can be considered part of the intergenerational movement, music therapy or a behavior management program. Part 1 of the thesis focuses on a broad review of literature divided into three sections. Section 1 outlines the HiH program and its altruistic philosophy in the context of a broad range of literature pertaining to altruism. Section 2 explores HiH in relation to music therapy and intergenerational conventions. Section 3 discusses HiH as a music program with non-technical musical goals. Part 2 of the thesis is in three sections and describes the practical application of the program in three different situations. Section 1 examines the influence of the HiH program on the city-wide Music in Primary Schools program to which it belongs and specifically documents the Music Education Program at Ainslie Primary School. Section 2 outlines the methodology of an inclusive pilot project, involving students with special needs and mainstream children. Section 3 describes another pilot project involving high school children, with emotional and behavioral problems, visiting an aged-care facility and discusses the outcomes, and potential benefits of their involvement in the project. There is also a brief review of literature pertaining to the pilot projects at the beginning of both section two and three. In conclusion, the main findings are summarized and related to the literature. The many threads of the thesis are drawn together and suggestions are made regarding further in-depth study and research into the potential benefits of the program.

Heart & face : semantics of Chinese emotion concepts
Creators: name: Kornacki, Pawel
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Chinese language Semantics
subject: Emotions

description: Using the framework of the Natural Semantic Metalanguage theory, the thesis explores the conceptual organization of a subset of the emotion vocabulary of Modern Standard Chinese. The study consists of seven chapters. Chapter One (Introduction) provides background information on the analytic perspective adopted in the thesis, the sources of data, and a preliminary discussion of some of the issues in the early Chinese ethnotheory of "emotion". Chapter Two explicates the key concept of xin ('heart/mind'), the cognitive, moral, and emotional 'centre' of a person. Chapter Three discusses two related notions, mianzi and lian ('face'), which speak to the culturally perceived relevance of other people's judgements to the self. Chapter Four develops this theme further, dealing with the 'social feelings', i.e., reactions to the things people say and think about us. Chapter Five focuses on the semantic field of the 'anger'-like expressions. Chapter Six analyzes the lexical data pertinent to the conceptualization of different kinds of subjectively 'bad' feelings', whereas Chapter Seven discusses the emotional reactions to various types of good situations and events. Wherever possible, the thesis seeks to probe into the culturally-based aspects of the conceptual structure of emotion words, by drawing on a variety of anthropological, psychological, and sociological studies of the Chinese society. On the methodological level, the thesis attempts to demonstrate that the bias inherent in conducting the cultural analysis with the complex, language-specific notions (e.g., 'anger', 'shame', 'happiness'), can be subverted through a recourse to the universally shared simple meanings, such as, e.g., 'I', 'think', 'feel', 'because', 'good', and 'bad'.

description: Using a family of modified Weibull distributions, encompassing both sub-exponentials and super-exponentials, to parameterize the marginal distributions of asset returns and their natural multivariate generalizations, we give exact formulas for the tails and for the moments and cumulants of the distribution of returns of a portfolio make of arbitrary compositions of these assets. Using combinatorial and hypergeometric functions, we are in particular able to extend previous results to the case where the exponents of the Weibull distributions are different from asset to asset and in the presence of dependence between assets. We treat in details the problem of risk minimization using two different measures of risks (cumulants and value-at-risk) for a portfolio made of two assets and compare the theoretical predictions with direct empirical data. While good agreement is found, the remaining discrepancy between theory and data stems from the deviations from the Weibull parameterization for small returns. Our extended formulas enable us to determine analytically the conditions under which it is possible to ``have your cake and eat it too'', i.e., to construct a portfolio with both larger return and smaller ``large risks''.

On the nature of radio filaments near the Galactic Center

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: We suggest that narrow, long radio filaments near the Galactic Center arise as kinetic jets - streams of high energy particles escaping from ram-pressure confined pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe). The reconnection between the PWN and interstellar magnetic field allows pulsar wind particles to escape, creating long narrow features. They are the low frequency analogs of kinetic jets seen around some fast-moving pulsars, such as The Guitar and The Lighthouse PWNe. The radio filaments trace a population of pulsars also responsible for the Fermi GeV excess produced by the Inverse Compton scattering by the pulsar wind particles. The magnetic flux tubes are stretched radially by the large scale Galactic winds. In addition to PWNe accelerated particles can be injected at supernovae remnants. The model predicts variations of the structure of the largest filaments on scales of $\sim$ dozens of years - smaller variations can occur on shorter time scales. We also encourage targeted observations of the brightest sections of the filaments and of the related unresolved point sources in search of the powering PWNe and pulsars.

description: Topological quantum phase transitions in superconductivity are discussed on two dimensional lattices. The main focus is on the Chern number for superconducting states. Each superconductivity is characterized by the Chern number, and the quantum phase transition is associated with topological changes of the quasiparticle Bloch function in the Brillouin zone. For the superconducting case, the Chern number has several equivalent but different topological expressions given by vortices, the Dirac monopole and strings. We demonstrate quantum phase transitions by these topological quantities both for singlet and triplet cases.

Lawyers in New South Wales, 1856-1914 : the evolution of a colonial profession
Creators: name: Woodman, Stewart John
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1979

description: Between 1856 and 1914 the character of the legal profession in New South Wales changed markedly. It evolved from being a small group of primarily British practitioners with no real foundations in the colony into an independent and cohesive colonial profession strongly conscious of the need to preserve its standards and reputation and of its responsibilities with respect to the administration of justice. Historians have, however, largely overlooked the significance of this change and its implications for the legal and political development of the colony. Although lawyers appeared to have won a secure and leading position in the social and political life of New South Wales by the 1850s, there were important weaknesses in the composition of the profession which soon undermined its standing and influence. Not only did the profession lack the numbers and the experience to cope adequately with the demands of the colony which was expanding rapidly in the wake of the gold rushes but its. political authority was linked closely to the fortunes of the colony's conservative social elite whose former dominance of the government of New South Wales disintegrated rapidly after the introduction of responsible government in 1856. Neither barristers nor solicitors showed any inclination or ability to respond. They were primarily concerned with furthering their individual careers and clearly had little sense of commitment to the more general interests of the profession. In consequence, the profession's reputation deteriorated and law reform slipped into abeyance. It was not until the 1880s that lawyers began to demonstrate new strengths. In part this change was due to the increased size and experience of the profession and the apolitical standing of its leaders, but above all it reflected the new character of the individual lawyer. Two decades of prosperous economic development had greatly enhanced the opportunities for colonial youth to aspire to the law. They brought with them a strong awareness of the position which they had won and a determination to preserve the rights and reputation of lawyers. These sentiments, together with an increasing realisation of the profession's colonial identity, led to the upgrading of admission standards and legal education, provided the basis for effective cooperation among lawyers upon a wide variety of issues, and greatly increased both the interest of barristers and solicitors in law reform and their ability to pursue that object successfully. The united response of lawyers to the economic difficulties and political changes of the 1890s and early 1900s confirmed how far these new qualities had become fundamental elements in the character of the legal profession of New South Wales.

 N o t e: The ligula of the new species is furnished with two bristles at the base of apical lobes. This was not observed when I described the genus Dikraspedella PACE, 2002; the two bristles were perhaps detached and lost in the process of preparation and attaching the label to the specimen.
D e s c r i p t i o n: Length 1.96-3.48 mm. Body shiny and blackish-brown, free abdominal tergites one and two yellowish-brown, antennae brown with the two basal antennomeres yellowish-brown, legs yellowish-red. Second antennomere shorter than the first, third as long as the second, fourth to tenth strongly transverse. Eyes as long as the postocular region in dorsal view. Reticulation of head and pronotum very superficial, that of the elytra strong, that of the abdomen irregular, polygonal, evident. Puncturation of the head fairly deep and absent on the mid-longitudinal band, that of the pronotum of the male dense and evident on either side of the ample discal concavity, the fundus of which is impunctate, that of the elytra very close and superficial. Granulation of the abdomen salient only near the posterior margin of each free tergite. Pronotum of the male with ample discal concavity, absent in the female. The disc of the pronotum bears f disposed in a square in both sexes. Each elytron with four strong punctures, two in a longitudinal line near the suture and two in a longitudinal line near the sides. Tibiae externally spinose. Aedeagus: Figs 95-96; spermatheca: Fig. 97.
 C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s: In the form of the spermatheca, the new species is similar to D. kinabaluensis PACE, 2002, also from Borneo but the apical umbilicus of the distal bulb of the spermatheca is narrow in the new species, wide in D. kinabaluensis. The spermatheca of the new species is 0.23 mm long, whereas that of D. kinabaluensis measures 0.57 mm. The aedeagus of the new species is 0.32 mm long, that of D. kinabaluensis 0.27 mm.
E t y m o l o g y: The new species takes its name from Borneo.

The decagonal structure of the epilayer is evidenced by x-ray photoelectron diffraction, low-energy electron diffraction and electron backscatter diffraction. This overlayer is also characterized by a reduced density of states near the Fermi edge as expected for quasicrystals. This is the first time that a millimeter-size surface of the stable decagonal Al-Pd-Mn is obtained, studied and compared to its icosahedral counterpart.

description: We present a novel numerical scheme for the efficient and accurate solution of the isothermal two-fluid (electron and ion) equations coupled to Poisson's equation for low-temperature plasmas. The model considers electrons and ions as separate fluids, comprising the electron inertia and charge separation. The discretization of this system with standard explicit schemes is constrained by very restrictive time steps and cell sizes related to the resolution of the Debye length, electron plasma frequency, and electron sound waves. Both sheath and electron inertia are fundamental to fully explain the physics in low-pressure and low-temperature plasmas. However, most of the phenomena of interest for fluid models occur at speeds much slower than the electron thermal speed and are quasi-neutral, except in small charged regions. In this work, we present a scheme based on the Lagrange-projection operator splitting that preserves the asymptotic regime where the plasma is quasi-neutral with massless electrons. As a result, the quasi-neutral regime is treated without the need of an implicit solver nor the resolution of the Debye length and electron plasma frequency. Additionally, the scheme proves to accurately represent the dynamics of the electrons both at low speeds and when the electron speed is comparable to the thermal speed. In addition, a well-balanced treatment of the ion source terms is proposed in order to tackle problems where the ion temperature is very low compared to the electron temperature. The scheme significantly improves the accuracy both in the quasi-neutral limit and in the presence of plasma sheaths when the Debye length is resolved. The scheme is assessed in two specifically designed test-cases: a quasi-neutral two-stream periodic perturbation with analytical solution and a low-temperature discharge that includes sheaths.
A classificatory study of phonemic systems in Australian aboriginal languages
Creators: name: Busby, Peter Andrew
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1979

description: This classificatory study of phonemic systems is an attempt to provide an understanding of the structures and characteristics of the phonologies of Australian aboriginal languages. In order to classify L.1e phonological systems we need to survey the languages and determine the types of systems that do occur. We also need to examine the acoustic structure of some phonetic characteristics of the phonemes that make up these systems. Finally, the classification of phonemic types into systems involves an examination of distinctive feature systems and their applicability to the Australian situation. The first section surveys 134 languages from the total of approximately 260 said to occur on the continent (Wurm, 1972: 9). We need to note the phonemes recorded in language descriptions and their distributions, both systemic and areal. General language surveys consisting of a single chapter or short article capture some of the more obvious generalizations that can be said of Australian phonological systems. With the exceptions of Dixon (1970b, 1972, forthcoming a) and Wurm (1972) for instance, there have been no systematic attempts to describe the nature and significance of these generalizations. Once having specified the types of phonemes and their distribution He turn to the acoustic study of some of the more pertinent phonetic, or segmental, characteristics; for example, Australian languages can have a maximum of seven positions of articulation for stops and nasals, excluding the glottal stop. The analysis examines aspects of segments which can be seen as some of the distinguishing parameters necessary for distinctions. Two excellent studies of aboriginal languages serve as an important contribution to the knowledge of acoustic structures of these languages: Trefry's (1974) description of Diyari and McDonald's (1977) Yaraldi analysis. Jernudd's (1974) palatographic analysis of Gunwinggu phonemes provides articulatory evidence on the positions of articulation in Australian languages. The third and final section examines the relative abilities of distinctive feature systems1 to distinguish aboriginal phonological systems in light of the distribution of phonemes and their phonetic characteristics. In the development of universal distinctive features, little attention has been given to Australian languages. Chomsky and Halle mention only one Australian language, Aranda (Chomsky-Halle, 1968: 312); Ladefoged mentions none. On the other hand, contrasted with these universally orientated systems, is Dixon's feature inventory, a system that is uniquely Australian in that it captures generalizations which are characteristic of aboriginal phonological organization. The consequence of such an examination is the development of a feature system which is both capable of making the characteristic phonological distinctions and has regard for the acoustic structure of the phonetic realizations.

description: Thanks to recent high resolution ALMA observations, there is an accumulating evidence for presence of giant planets with masses from $\sim 0.01$ Jupiter mass to a few Jupiter mass with separations up to $ 100$~AU in the annular structures observed in young protoplanetary discs. We point out that these observations set unique "live" constraints on the process of gas accretion onto sub-Jovian planets that were not previously available. Accordingly, we use a population synthesis approach in a new way: we build time-resolved models and compare the properties of the synthetic planets with the ALMA data at the same age. Applying the widely used gas accretion formulae leads to a deficit of sub-Jovian planets and an over-abundance of a few Jupiter mass planets compared to observations. We find that gas accretion rate onto planets needs to be suppressed by about an order of magnitude to match the observed planet mass function. This slower gas giant growth predicts that the planet mass should correlate positively with the age of the protoplanetary disc, albeit with a large scatter. This effect is not clearly present in the ALMA data but may be confirmed in the near future with more observations.

 HOLOTYPE: AMNH 325062, adult male, collected on Auyán-tepuí, 1100 m, 05.55N, 62.32W (Paynter, 1982), Bolívar, Venezuela, on 6 February 1938, by personel of the Phelps Venezuelan Expedition of the American Museum of Natural History (no. 1418).
 COMMENTS: Zimmer cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description. His paratypes comprised three additional males, one female, and one sex? from the type locality, one young bird from Rio Caura, and specimens listed by Chubb (1921: 507) from Mt. Roraima and Mt. Kukenam. These last specimens are not in AMNH. The paratypes in AMNH are: Auyán-tepuí, AMNH 323977, 323978, 325059, 325063, 325065, three males, one female, one sex?; Nicare´, Rio Caura, AMNH 512867, female. Three additional specimens had been collected on Auyán-tepuí, but had been sent to the Phelps Collection prior to Zimmer’s description of phelpsi.

description: We prove that given a solution of the Einstein equations $g_{ab}$ for the matter field $T_{ab}$, an autoparallel null vector field $l^{a}$ and a solution $(l_{a}l_{c}, \mathcal{T}_{ac})$ of the linearized Einstein equation on the given background, the Kerr-Schild metric $g_{ac}+λl_{a}l_{c}$ ($λ$ arbitrary constant) is an exact solution of the Einstein equation for the energy-momentum tensor $T_{ac}+λ\mathcal{T}_{ac}+λ^{2}l_{(a}\mathcal{T}_{c)b}l^{b}$. The mixed form of the Einstein equation for Kerr-Schild metrics with autoparallel null congruence is also linear. Some more technical conditions hold when the null congruence is not autoparallel. These results generalize previous theorems for vacuum due to Xanthopoulos and for flat seed space-time due to Gürses and Gürsey.

description: We combine elements of the 1998 quantum computing proposals by Privman, Vagner and Kventsel, and by Kane, with the new idea of nuclear-spin qubit interactions mediated indirectly via the bound outer electrons of impurity atoms whose nuclear spins 1/2 are the qubits. These electrons, in turn, interact via the two-dimensional electron gas in the quantum Hall effect regime. The resulting quantum computing scheme retains all the gate-control and measurement aspects of the proposal by Kane, but allows qubit spacing at distances of order 100 nm, attainable with the present-day semiconductor-heterostructure device technologies.

Full Wave Function Optimization with Quantum Monte Carlo -- A study of the Dissociation Energies of ZnO, FeO, FeH, and CrS

description: The dissociation energies of four transition metal dimers are determined using diffusion Monte Carlo. The Jastrow, CI, and molecular orbital parameters of the wave function are both partially and fully optimized with respect to the variational energy. The pivotal role is thereby ascribable to the optimization of the molecular orbital parameters of a complete active space wave function in the presence of a Jastrow correlation function. Excellent results are obtained for ZnO, FeO, FeH, and CrS. In addition, potential energy curves are computed for the first three compounds at multi-reference diffusion Monte Carlo (MR-DMC) level, from which spectroscopic constants such as the equilibrium bond distance, the harmonic frequency, and the anharmonicity are extracted. All of those quantities agree well with the experiment. Furthermore, it is shown for CrS that a restricted active space calculation can yield improved initial orbitals by including single and double excitations from the original active space into a set of virtual orbitals. We demonstrated in this study that the fixed-node error in DMC can be systematically reduced for multi-reference systems by orbital optimization in compact active spaces. While DMC calculations with a large number of determinants are possible and very accurate, our results demonstrate that compact wave functions may be sufficient in order to obtain accurate nodal surfaces, which determine the accuracy of DMC, even in the case of transition metal compounds.
Landau's quasi-particle mapping: Fermi liquid approach and Luttinger liquid behavior

description: A continuous unitary transformation is introduced which realizes Landau's mapping of the elementary excitations (quasi-particles) of an interacting Fermi liquid system to those of the system without interaction. The conservation of the number of quasi-particles is important. The transformation is performed numerically for a one-dimensional system, i.e. the worst case for a Fermi liquid approach. Yet evidence for Luttinger liquid behavior is found. Such an approach may open a route to a unified description of Fermi and Luttinger liquids on all energy scales.

Pair distribution function in a two-dimensional electron gas

description: We calculate the pair distribution function, $g(r)$, in a two-dimensional electron gas and derive a simple analytical expression for its value at the origin as a function of $r_s$. Our approach is based on solving the Schrödinger equation for the two-electron wave function in an appropriate effective potential, leading to results that are in good agreement with Quantum Monte Carlo data and with the most recent numerical calculations of $g(0)$. [C. Bulutay and B. Tanatar, Phys. Rev. B {\bf 65}, 195116 (2002)] We also show that the spin-up spin-down correlation function at the origin, $g_{\uparrow \downarrow}(0)$, is mainly independent of the degree of spin polarization of the electronic system.

Renormalization group and 1/N expansion for 3-dimensional Ginzburg-Landau-Wilson models

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: A renormalization-group scheme is developed for the 3-dimensional O($2N$)-symmetric Ginzburg-Landau-Wilson model, which is consistent with the use of a 1/N expansion as a systematic method of approximation. It is motivated by an application to the critical properties of superconductors, reported in a separate paper. Within this scheme, the infrared stable fixed point controlling critical behaviour appears at $z=0$, where $z=λ^{-1}$ is the inverse of the quartic coupling constant, and an efficient renormalization procedure consists in the minimal subtraction of ultraviolet divergences at $z=0$. This scheme is implemented at next-to-leading order, and the standard results for critical exponents calculated by other means are recovered. An apparently novel result of this non-perturbative method of approximation is that corrections to scaling (or confluent singularities) do not, as in perturbative analyses, appear as simple power series in the variable $y=zt^{ων}$. At least in three dimensions, the power series are modified by powers of $\ln y$.

Absorbing boundary conditions for simulation of gravitational waves with spectral methods in spherical coordinates

description: We present a new formulation of the multipolar expansion of an exact boundary condition for the wave equation, which is truncated at the quadrupolar order. Using an auxiliary function, that is the solution of a wave equation on the sphere defining the outer boundary of the numerical grid, the absorbing boundary condition is simply written as a perturbation of the usual Sommerfeld radiation boundary condition. It is very easily implemented using spectral methods in spherical coordinates. Numerical tests of the method show that very good accuracy can be achieved and that this boundary condition has the same efficiency for dipolar and quadrupolar waves as the usual Sommerfeld boundary condition for monopolar ones. This is of particular importance for the simulation of gravitational waves, which have dominant quadrupolar terms, in General Relativity.

Armenian migration, settlement and adjustment in australia with special reference to the armenians in Sydney
Creators: name: Kirkland, James Ray
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1980

description: Immigration to Australia has been very substantial since World War II. Some of the more recent arrivals have come from the Middle East. The Armenians are one such group, nine-tenths of whom have settled in Australia since 1962. This thesis has been a study of this Armenian migration and settlement in Australia with particular reference to their residential, occupational, social and psychological adjustment since arrival. Because the Armenians are a rare population on which very little information - including any official statistics - was available, it was necessary to undertake a social survey for the collection of data. The Sydney Armenians, the largest population group in Australia, was selected for this Survey to make it as representative as possible of the overall Australian Armenian population. Data collection was conducted in two stages - a postal questionnaire "census" of all known Sydney Armenian households and a follow-up fieldwork period of six months during which intensive interviews were conducted. In all, a study population of 890 respondents was obtained, of whom 97 were interviewed. The Armenian population of Sydney at the time of the Survey was estimated at no more than 7,000 individuals, while a generous estimate of the Australian Armenian population would have been no more than 10,000. Although quite diverse and having originated in 43 different countries at arrival in Australia they were for the most part urban dwellers of skilled and white-collar occupations and with a fair amount of formal schooling (considering their countries of origin). Moreover, most had acquired some facility with the English language before arrival. These characteristics, combined with the fact that most of the Armenian migration was of the nature of family reunion or chain movement, have resulted in a very rapid adjustment to life in Australia. Becoming satisfactorily adjusted in the various spheres of life, however, does not mean these first generation immigrants v have tended to assimilate into Australian society. In fact, just the opposite appears to have occurred. Rapid and successful adjustment, characterized by the reestablishment to the greatest extent possible of their overseas existence, has tended to serve as a barrier to assimilation by not requiring them to change to become more like Australians. It is unlikely therefore that the Sydney Armenians, as a group, will undergo substantial assimilation until the second or subsequent generations
