description: We study generalized measurements (POVM measurements) on a single d-level quantum system which is in a completely unknown pure state, and derive the best estimate of the post-measurement state. The mean post-measuremement estimation fidelity of a generalized measurement is obtained and related to the operation fidelity of the device. This illustrates how the information gain about the post-measurement state and the corresponding state disturbance are mutually dependent. The connection between the best estimates of the pre- and post-measurement state is established and interpreted. For pure generalized measurements the two states coincide.

description: We study the emergence of exact Majorana zero modes (EMZMs) in a one-dimensional quantum transverse compass model with both the nearest-neighbor interactions and transverse fields varying over space. By transforming the spin system into a quadratic Majorana-fermion model, we derive an exact formula for the number of the emergent EMZMs, which is found to depend on the partition nature of the lattice sites on which the magnetic fields vanish. We also derive explicit expressions for the wavefunctions of these EMZMs and show that they indeed depend on fine features of the foregoing partition of site indices. Based on the above rigorous results about the EMZMs, we provide an interpretation for the interesting dependence of the eigenstate-degeneracy on the transverse fields observed in prior literatures. As a special case, we employ a plane-wave ansatz to exactly solve an open compass chain with alternating nearest-neighbor interactions and staggered magnetic fields. Explicit forms of the canonical Majorana modes diagonalizing the model are given even for finite chains. We show that besides the possibly existing EMZMs, no almost Majorana zero modes exist unless the fields on both the two sublattices are turned off. Our results might shed light on the control of ground-state degeneracies by solely tuning the external fields in related systems.

Shell stabilization of super- and hyperheavy nuclei without magic gaps

description: Quantum stabilization of superheavy elements is quantified in terms of the shell-correction energy. We compute the shell correction using self-consistent nuclear models: the non-relativistic Skyrme-Hartree-Fock approach and the relativistic mean-field model, for a number of parametrizations. All the forces applied predict a broad valley of shell stabilization around Z=120 and N=172-184. We also predict two broad regions of shell stabilization in hyperheavy elements with N approx 258 and N approx 308. Due to the large single-particle level density, shell corrections in the superheavy elements differ markedly from those in lighter nuclei. With increasing proton and neutron numbers, the regions of nuclei stabilized by shell effects become poorly localized in particle number, and the familiar pattern of shells separated by magic gaps is basically gone.

A taphonomic analysis of the vertebrate material from Allen's Cave : implications for Australian arid zone archaeology

description: This thesis analyses an extensive bone deposit from Allen's Cave, which is situated on the southern Nullarbor, South Australia. Excavation of the site in 1989 yielded evidence for 38,000 years of human occupation, the first 25,000 years of which took place under extremely arid conditions. A taphonomic analysis of the bone debris was undertaken in order to identify patterns of Aboriginal arid zone subsistence and occupation. The bone debris consists of skeletal material from a range of small to large prey. The smaller species are both better represented and preserved than larger species. Primary deposition by owls and carnivores and significant modification of human-deposited bone is clearly demonstrated. Previous vertebrate analyses which have aimed at identifying humandeposited bone from such mixed and. fragmented deposits were found to display on-going methodological problems. These problems were largely based on misunderstandings about the behavior of predators associated with the cave sites. Therefore a comprehensive review of the taphonomic effects of a range of carnivores in human occupation sites has been undertaken. Revision of earlier methodologies also revealed that expectations concerning the capacity of the highly fragmented and diminished amount of human discard to provide evidence of subsistence and occupation were overstated. Thus a taphonomic methodology focussing on the far greater quantity of non-cultural bone debris has been formulated for Allen's Cave. It is anticipated that this will also be applicable to similar deposits in sites elsewhere.

description: Taeniapion delicatulum (Wollaston, 1857)
(Fig. 9)
 At a late stage in the preparation of this paper it became apparent that the Madeiran and Canarian populations of T. delicatulum might not be conspecific. However, as WOLLASTON (1864) considered them to be so, this issue is not addressed here. Taeniapion delicatulum is very clearly distinct from T. atlanticum, but is rather closer to (though also distinct from) the European T. rufescens (Gyllenhal, 1833), a similarity which was not remarked by Wollaston, but was noted by BRITO & OROMÍ (1986). The occurrence of its hosts, Canarian species of Urtica in particular being far less common than the ubiquitous U. dioica in Britain and western Europe generally, limits the distribution of T. delicatulum. However, the weevil is abundant where it occurs, recent experience being at odds with Wollaston’s assessment of the species being ‘apparently nowhere common’. It is distributed throughout the western islands. BRITO & OROMÍ (1986) included them all except Gran Canaria, while MACHADO & OROMÍ (2000) omitted Gomera (from which island it was recorded by ‘the Messrs. Crotch’ (WOLLASTON 1865)). Besides records from Tenerife, La Palma and El Hierro, I have taken the weevil in Gran Canaria (S. Bartolome, March 1994; Las Lagunetas, and Las Corrales, both in January 2004) and La Gomera (Chorros de Epina, December 1995; Las Hayas, January 2003). The hosts I have recorded are Parietaria sp. and, particularly, Urtica morifolia. WOLLASTON (1864) gave no host, but (1865) mentioned Parietaria on the authority of the Crotch brothers, who stated that it was peculiar to that plant on Gomera (which it certainly is not). BRITO & OROMÍ (1986) assumed Wollaston’s Parietaria to be P. debilis. Like many other Apionidae, T. delicatulum is frequently found on vegetation other than its foodplants.
 UYTTENBOOGAART (1935) described Apion diverserostratum as a new species, but later (UYTTENBOOGAART 1937) conceded (though somewhat ambiguously) that his material fell within the range of variation of A. delicatulum. This has been accepted by subsequent workers, for example LINDBERG & LINDBERG (1958), BRITO & OROMÍ (1986) and MACHADO & OROMÍ (2000), as well as the current author.
Wollaston’s BMNH specimens include 4 males and 4 females, from El Hierro, La Palma and Tenerife, and in his OUMNH collection the species is represented by 2 males and 7 females from the same three islands.

description: A set of power supplies (PS) with output power rated from 100 W up to 10 kW for electromagnets powering was developed. These PS have range of current tuning of 60-80 db with high accuracy (error should be less than 0,01%). Some types of power supplies have bipolar output current. The report will describe a set of unified embedded devices for control and measurements of PS incorporated into distributed control systems. These embedded devices includes DAC, ADC with multiplexers and status Input/Output registers. The devices include microprocessor and allow work with minimal host involving. This capability decreases traffic, provides synchronous tuning of all electromagnet elements of particle accelerator and increases reliability of entire system.

 DIECKMANN (1989) discussed the unique specimen of this species, which is in BMNH and which he examined, in considerable detail. He compared it with both C. seniculus (Kirby, 1808) and C. corsicum (Desbrochers, 1888) but was unable to decide whether it represented a good species or an anomalous example of some other one. The current author inclines to the view that it is an aberrant C. seniculus, but M. A. Alonso-Zarazaga strongly disagrees (in litt.); the specimen is not in very good condition and a definite decision may not be possible. At any event, the species is not, apparently, established in the Canaries. It was included as a Canarian endemic by GURREA & SANZ (2000).
The specimen bears a ‘Type’ label. The base of the card mount is coloured black or dark brown, hardly corresponding to the orange that should have indicated its Gomeran origin, and presumably the result of darkening with age.

The central role of the police in networked security in Indonesia: a case study of Yogyakarta

description: This dissertation is premised upon a simple assumption: it is not possible to fully grasp how the security sector works until we understand interagency relations. The 'interagency' is the area where different security organisations interact in the pursuit of maintaining security. This topic throws up a number of questions, such as how do security groups interrelate and why do they behave the way they do? In the literature on Indonesia many sources take the view that relations between security actors, especially the police and the Indonesian military, are unclear and contested. This thesis finds the opposite. By pursuing a local level case study of the relationships between security organisations in Yogyakarta, this thesis argues that most security relationships in this case study are premised on generally well defined boundaries of jurisdiction. Most importantly, the dominant form of behaviour is not hostility or competition but rather collaboration. This dissertation employs policing theory on networked security as the most appropriate paradigm to model security relations within the case study site. Policing is a dynamic task, involving not only the uniformed state police but a diverse range of government and non-government actors. This framework aptly fits the situation in Indonesia where we find various central and regional government agencies and commercial and civil society organisations deploying within the sector. Examples include the national police, territorial units of the Indonesian army, the civil service police of regional government, non-police civil service investigators, private security companies, neighbourhood watch groups, Islamic vigilantes, and political party militias among others. The Indonesian police, however, are at the centre of this security network, they lead, support and lend their authority to other actors. The superiority of the Indonesian police becomes the core reason why collaboration takes place within the network. Other security organisations feel they need to access the formal authority and special powers of the police. This system has created something of a security leviathan. My research from Yogyakarta suggests the Indonesian police have emerged as the primary agent within the local security sphere.

description: This thesis makes a significant contribution to the existing knowledge on 'unmarried mothers'. Much of the literature on 'unmarried mothers' has been written by white, male, middle-class professionals who assume that unwed mothers are happy to place their babies for adoption so that they can be free to pursue other interests, meet other men and make a new life. However, after interviewing many of the mothers who gave up their babies in the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s in Australia, I found this was not the case. Many of the mothers had wanted to keep their babies but were forced to relinquish them by their families and the wider society who seemed more intent on upholding nuclear family values than making available the resources needed to keep natural mothers and their babies together. My argument throughout this thesis is that given a choice - a viable economic and socially supported choice - many of the unmarried mothers, typified by those whom I interviewed, would not have parted with their babies. Most mothers interviewed, and presumably many of those in the community at large, have experienced much pain and grief as a result of the separation - a grief which is profound and lasts forever. Using Marxist feminist theories of the state and post-structural theories, my thesis highlights the perceptions and memories of birthmothers about the birthing experience and adoption as experience, process and life consequence. I also argue that the removal of white, working-class babies from their mothers compares in some small way with the removal of the indigenous 'stolen children' in the same period. The removal of Aboriginal children from their homes and cultures has been referred to by some scholars and activists as a form of cultural genocide. While the removal of babies from white, working-class, unwed mothers was different in that it had few racial implications, I argue that the system in place at the time was patriarchal and class-based and as such left the young, unwed women with no options but adoption. The thesis makes a very important and socially significant contribution to our understanding of unmarried mothers in that it presents a largely unwritten history of women. Rich in the voices of unmarried mothers, there are important conceptual, empirical and practical policy implications flowing from the research findings.

description: This study aims to investigate the impact of capital on bank profitability with evidence from Vietnamese commercial banks. With a sample of 30 Vietnamese commercial banks, the findings show the positive relationship between capital and bank profitability during the period of 2012-2018. Accordingly, the influence of capital is more pronounce in the case of small-sized banks, whereas it exerts insignificant influence on the profitability of large-sized banks. Moreover, a high degree of capital increased the profitability of private-owned banks, the impact of capital is positive and significant for the net interest margin of state-owned banks only.

description: Despite many new and significant discoveries made in cancer research in the last few decades, only limited improvements in overall responses to treatment have occurred. The frustrating gaps between the scientific evidence and minor advances in clinical outcomes as well as unacceptable treatment failure must be overcome by improving current cancer therapies and developing more effective anti-cancer strategies. The term "tumour heterogeneity" refers to the formation of a tumour containing areas with distinguishable phenotypic features within its microenvironment. The realisation that a tumour tissue is not a cluster of single clonally derived cells but rather comprises a well-organised and tumour-protective environment necessitates a drastic change in the direction of cancer research to breakdown these protective barriers. Over the last century, the field of glycobiology has grown in significance and attracted a number of scientists from a variety of fields including immunology and oncology. Involvement of carbohydrates is critical for pathological aspects of cancer progression and metastasis as well as for normal biological systems such as immune reaction and recognition. Therefore, the studies of lectin-glycan interactions currently are providing much opportunity for unveiling many novel pathological features of cancer. Galectin-1 is a [beta]-galactoside binding protein abundantly secreted by almost all types of malignant tumour cells and its expression plays vital pro-tumourigenic roles within the tumour microenvironment. In particular, galectin-1 suppresses the T cell-mediated anticancer immune responses, inducing apoptosis of the activated effector T cells by binding to their glycosylated surface receptors.

description: Longwave Infrared Camera (LIR) onboard Akatsuki first revealed the global structure of the thermal tides in the upper cloud layer of Venus. The data were acquired over three Venusian years, and the analysis was done over the areas from the equator to the mid-latitudes in both hemispheres and over the whole local time. Thermal tides at two vertical levels were analyzed by comparing data at two different emission angles. Dynamical wave modes consisting of tides were identified; the diurnal tide consisted mainly of Rossby-wave and gravity-wave modes, while the semidiurnal tide predominantly consisted of a gravity-wave mode. The revealed vertical structures were roughly consistent with the above wave modes, but some discrepancy remained if the waves were supposed to be monochromatic. In turn, the heating profile that excites the tidal waves can be constrained to match this discrepancy, which would greatly advance the understanding of the Venusian atmosphere.

The final result is <7s,F=5 ||d_PNC|| 7s,F=4> = -0.49 10^{-10} i kappa a.u., where kappa is the dimensionless coupling constant. This is approximately an order of magnitude larger than similar amplitude in Cs. The dominant contribution to kappa is associated with the anapole moment of the nucleus.

description: In this study, we researched the reactions of 5-(5-bromofuran-2-yl)-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol and 5-thiophene-(3-ylmethyl)-4R-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols with some halogen-containing compounds, a number of new compounds were synthesized (1.1–1.5 and 2.1–2.8). These compounds showed excellent to good inhibitory activities on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) enzymes. For obtaining the effects of these compounds on AChE and BChE enzymes were determined spectrophotometrically according to Ellman. IC50 values of these enzymes were ranging between 1.63 and 17.68 nM for AChE and 8.71 and 84.02 nM for BChE. After, prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality for men over the age of 65 in developed countries. Current treatment options remain limited in the treatment of advanced-stage prostate cancer leading to biochemical recurrence in almost 40% of the patients. Therefore, there is an urgent need for development of novel therapeutic tools for treatment of prostate cancer patients. In this study, we aimed at analyzing the potential of all compounds against prostate cancer cells. We found that, of the tested compounds, 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 showed significant cytotoxic activities against PC3 prostate cancer cells, although their effect on the viability of normal prostate cells was limited. These findings suggest their selective targeting potential for prostate cancer cells and offer them as candidate therapeutic agents against prostate cancer. The inhibitory activities of some chemical compounds, such as (1.1–1.5 and 2.1–2.8) were assessed by performing the molecular docking study in the presence of AChE, BChE and prostate cancer protein. MM/GBSA methods are calculated binding free energy. Finally, ADME/T analysis was performed to examine the drug properties of the 13 studied molecules. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: This thesis examines the processes and outcomes associated with the uptake of organic agriculture in the Global South. The thesis draws on insights and concepts from three distinct theoretical approaches – Actor-Network Theory (ANT), Resource mobilisation Theory (RMT) and framing analysis – to examine why organic agriculture has come to be taken up within the Global South, how organic agriculture has become taken up within the Global South and what implications are associated with the uptake in the Global South in terms of the future development of the organic agriculture phenomenon. The thesis argues that there is an array of interests and values held by adherents within the organic movement and that attempts to promote the uptake of organic agriculture in the Global South have served only to increase this diversity. The thesis argues firstly that the movement mobilisation has been grounded in market exchange relations, which has formed the basis for the uptake of organic agriculture in the Global South. Because they are mediated by non-human actors, market exchange relations provide a means to deliver incentives, which resonate with an array of interests and values held by a larger number of potential adherents. The thesis argues secondly that the uptake of organic agriculture in the Global South has been facilitated by the actions taken by Social Movement Organizations (SMOs) to frame organic agriculture in ways that resonate with the interests and values of new adherents, who believe in the goals and objectives of the movement, and constituents, who can provide financial resources to fund activities to promote the uptake of organic agriculture in the Global South. By framing organic agriculture as providing social and economic benefits to farmers in the Global South, SMOs have mobilised support from the international development cooperation sector.

description: The state of a two-particle system is called entangled when its quantum mechanical wave function cannot be factorized in two single-particle wave functions. Entanglement leads to the strongest counter-intuitive feature of quantum mechanics, namely nonlocality. Experimental realization of quantum entanglement is relatively easy for the case of photons; a pump photon can spontaneously split into a pair of entangled photons inside a nonlinear crystal. In this paper we combine quantum entanglement with nanostructured metal optics in the form of optically thick metal films perforated with a periodic array of subwavelength holes. These arrays act as photonic crystals that may convert entangled photons into surface-plasmon waves, i.e., compressive charge density waves. We address the question whether the entanglement survives such a conversion. We find that, in principle, optical excitation of the surface plasmon modes of a metal is a coherent process at the single-particle level. However, the quality of the plasmon-assisted entanglement is limited by spatial dispersion of the hole arrays. This spatial dispersion is due to the nonlocal dielectric response of a metal, which is particularly large in the plasmonic regime; it introduces "which way" labels, that may kill entanglement.

description: Learning robot control policies from physics simulations is of great interest to the robotics community as it may render the learning process faster, cheaper, and safer by alleviating the need for expensive real-world experiments. However, the direct transfer of learned behavior from simulation to reality is a major challenge. Optimizing a policy on a slightly faulty simulator can easily lead to the maximization of the `Simulation Optimization Bias` (SOB). In this case, the optimizer exploits modeling errors of the simulator such that the resulting behavior can potentially damage the robot. We tackle this challenge by applying domain randomization, i.e., randomizing the parameters of the physics simulations during learning. We propose an algorithm called Simulation-based Policy Optimization with Transferability Assessment (SPOTA) which uses an estimator of the SOB to formulate a stopping criterion for training. The introduced estimator quantifies the over-fitting to the set of domains experienced while training. Our experimental results on two different second order nonlinear systems show that the new simulation-based policy search algorithm is able to learn a control policy exclusively from a randomized simulator, which can be applied directly to real systems without any additional training.

description: This thesis examines whether globalisation has any effect on a state’s respect for human rights. Using the Arab world as a sample, this thesis has nominated three components of globalisation that might influence an Arab government’s level of respect for security rights and its ability to provide for subsistence rights: economic, political, and social globalisation. Each of these components among other local and international factors can be theoretically related to human rights. Thus, the thesis employed a mixed multimethod approach that combines qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis techniques in sequential phases; the first stage established hypothesised relationships between constructs to be tested statistically for significance, the findings of stage one guided the execution of stage two, which involved thorough investigation of four case studies. Using pooled, cross-sectional time-series analysis to empirically test the hypothesised relationships between globalisation and basic human rights in the Arab world from 1976 to 2011, the findings were mixed. Among the three indicators used to represent level of economic globalisation in a country, participation in Bretton Woods institutions positively increases a state’s level of respect for security rights, but deteriorates its ability to provide for basic needs. The other two indicators, foreign direct investment and trade openness proved to have no influence on both types of rights. As for political globalisation, the statistical analysis indicates that participation in international human rights treaties does not guarantee observance of security rights in a country but has a substantive and strong positive impact on subsistence rights. Social globalisation represented by the use of the internet in a country exhibits no significant impact on both dependent variables. Furthermore, the quantitative analysis concludes that while the level of economic development has a great positive impact on both types of rights, the positive relationship between democracy and human rights as concluded by the majority of research on human rights, does not find any support in the Arab world.

description: The postmortem diagnosis of fatal heatstroke (hyperthermia) is a challenging task in forensic practice. Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy combined with chemometrics was utilized to explore the biochemical difference of fatal heatstroke and to establish diagnosis models in this study. The complementary results of spectral absorbance comparison and principal component analysis demonstrated that the spectral differences between the hyperthermia and control groups mainly arose from the variations in the structure or composition of nucleic acids, proteins, amino acids, and carbohydrates in the vitreous humor. A genetic algorithm-guided partial least squares discriminant analysis model was established for the postmortem diagnosis of heatstroke, which achieved great specificity and sensitivity, both with scores of 100%. Furthermore, classification predictions of unknown vitreous humor samples collected from 11 rabbits were also performed by the model, resulting in 100% correct discrimination. This preliminary research demonstrates that Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in combination with chemometrics has the potential to be an effective aid for the postmortem diagnosis of fatal heatstroke.

description: The polymer quantization of cosmological backgrounds provides an alternative path to the original Wheeler-de Witt (WdW) quantum cosmology, based on a different representation the commutation relations of the canonical variables. This polymer representation allows to capture the lattice like structure of the quantum geometry and leads to a radically different quantum cosmology compared to the WdW construction. This new quantization scheme has attracted considerable attention due to the singularity resolution it allows in a wide class of symmetry reduced gravitational systems, in particular where the WdW scheme fails. However, as any canonical quantization scheme, ambiguities in the construction of the quantum theory, being regularization or factor-ordering ones, can drastically modify the resulting quantum dynamics. In this work, we propose a new criteria to restrict the quantization ambiguities in the simplest model of polymer quantum cosmology, for homogeneous and isotropic General Relativity minimally coupled to a massless scalar field. This new criteria is based on an underlying $\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})$ structure present in the phase space of this simple cosmological model. By preserving the symmetry of this cosmological system under this 1d conformal group, we derive a new regularization of the phase space. We perform both its polymer quantization and a quantization scheme directly providing a representation of the SL$(2,\mathbb{R})$ group action. The resulting quantum cosmology can be viewed as a lattice-like quantum mechanics with an SL$(2,\mathbb{R})$ invariance. This provides a new version of Loop Quantum Cosmology consistent with the conformal symmetry. This alternative construction opens new directions, among which a possible mapping with the conformal quantum mechanics as well as with recent matrix or tensor models constructions for quantum cosmological space-time.

description: The Accounting Standardization System for Public Administrations (SNCAP) was approved by Decree-Law no. 192/2015 (DL) of September 11 and constitutes the new accounting system for public administrations. With the approval of the SNC-AP, it will be possible to implement the accrual basis in accounting and financial reporting of public administrations, articulating it with the current modified cash basis, establishing the grounds for a state budgeting on an accrual basis. According to the legal regime of higher education institutions (RJIES), there are university teaching institutions and institutions of polytechnic education. In this way, HEIs adopting the SNC-AP will have to prepare the opening balance sheet for the 2018 financial year in accordance with the new regulations, which implies a set of adjustments to the last balance prepared according to the POC-Educação.

description: Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) based control system has been utilized for the first phase of RIKEN-RI Beam Factory (RIBF) [1] at the developing stage. Software sharing with Jozef Stefan Institute (JSI) in Slovenia via CORBA/JavaBeans has been successfully demonstrated. Accelerator Beans (Abeans) [2] components developed in JDK1.2.2 have been ported to RIKEN's CORBA server. The second phase of the RIBF project is named "Multi-Use Experimental Storage rings" (MUSES) project, which includes an accumulator cooler ring (ACR) and collider rings. Due to the much larger number of controlled objects and more stringent timing requirement than the first-phase project, we contemplate using recently established real-time (RT) CORBA specification [3]. Summary of our efforts to test RT-CORBA with the existing JaveBeans components and other related subjects are described in this paper.
