description: We present an analysis of the relative bias between early- and late-type galaxies in the Two-degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS). Our analysis examines the joint counts in cells between early- and late-type galaxies, using approximately cubical cells with sides ranging from 7h^{-1}Mpc to 42h^{-1}Mpc. We measure the variance of the counts in cells using the method of Efstathiou et al. (1990), which we find requires a correction for a finite volume effect. We fit lognormal models to the one-point density distribution and develop methods of dealing with biases in the recovered variances resulting from this technique. We directly fit deterministic models for the joint density distribution function, f(delta_E,delta_L), to the joint counts in cells using a maximum likelihood technique. Our results are consistent with a scale invariant relative bias factor on all scales studied. Linear bias is ruled out on scales less than l=28h^{-1}Mpc. A power-law bias model is a significantly better fit to the data on all but the largest scales studied; the relative goodness of fit of this model as compared to that of the linear bias model suggests that any nonlinearity is negligible for l>~40h^{-1}Mpc, consistent with the expectation from theory that the bias should become linear on large scales.

title: Thomas Hardy and Empire: Colonisers and the Colonised in the Works of Thomas Hardy
Creators: name: Bownas, Jane Lesley
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2010

description: In this study I examine the works of Thomas Hardy with the aim of 'identifying empire's fingerprints' in his writings. The extent to which British domestic culture was influenced by empire is a matter of considerable debate amongst social and cultural theorists, and I join this debate by analysing an author not usually recognised as being an 'imperial' writer, despite the fact that he was writing during a period of major imperial expansion. The expansion of British imperial power after the Napoleonic Wars was closely associated with the growth of powerful national institutions within Britain, and I suggest that a direct relationship exists between processes occurring in rural England, as described by Hardy, and processes occurring in the colonies of the empire in the latter half of the nineteenth century. I examine the many references to the Roman Empire and the Napoleonic Wars in Hardy's writing and suggest that these works reveal much about his own attitudes towards empire and historical progress. The binary opposition between ideas of the primitive and civilised was a central tenet of colonialism in the nineteenth century, and in his work Hardy questions this opposition and demonstrates the effect of outsiders on so-called 'primitive' communities. I examine the debate surrounding the use of gender as an articulated category with race and class when considering the oppressions of imperialism, and show how, by exposing the power structures operating within Britain, Hardy produces a critique of all forms of ideological oppression.

description: All-optical, mirrorless switching and bistability is demonstrated with bacteriorhodopsin (bR). A low-power, 532 nm laser beam modulates the transmission of a cw laser beam at 635 nm that corresponds to peak absorption of the O-excited state in the bR photocycle. The switch has features like a NOT-gate; its switching contrast depends on the pulse width and average power of the modulating laser. The phase of the switching characteristics can be controlled by varying the pulse width and frequency of the modulating laser. Simulations based on a rate equation approach considering a six-state model of the bR photocycle successfully reproduce the experimental results.

title: Partnerships for learning and innovation in agri-export industries: A case study of farmer-exporter partnerships in Kenya's flower industry
Creators: name: Bolo, Maurice Ochieng
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2011

description: This study examines the role of partnerships, institutions and governance arrangements in building cut flower farmers' innovation capabilities. It interrogates whether partnerships between farmers (both small scale and large scale) with exporters contribute to building the farmers' capabilities; how the institutional (contractual versus non-contractual) and governance patterns (captive versus relational) influence the ability of such partnerships to enhance farmers' capabilities and the role of other actors (research institutes, universities, regulatory agencies, input suppliers and NGOs) in supporting these partnerships and contributing to building farmer capabilities. This focus was motivated by the declining performance of small scale farmers in Kenya and the fact that small scale farmers appear to be excluded from high value cut flower export business. Whereas this exclusion is often explained in terms of limited access to capital; infrastructure and stringent market standards and regulations, this thesis takes the view that (besides these factors) exclusion of small scale farmers results from choices that different actors make about enhancing farmers' capabilities to innovate, as well as the policy and institutional environment that underpins and reinforces such choices. The study follows largely a case study approach and employs different methods including structured surveys; in-depth interviews and ethnography. Our findings show that even though farmers' production capabilities have benefitted from their partnerships with exporters, value addition capabilities have only improved modestly and remain a key challenge to small scale farmers. Similarly, marketing is dependent on knowledge and information passed on by the exporters. Secondly, the findings further show that interactions between farmers and R&D actors are undermined largely by the structural, cultural and operational procedures of the R&D institutes and universities. Lastly, the study finds that institutions, power dynamics and governance patterns are the key determinants influencing the opportunities for interactions, learning and innovation within these partnerships.

description: This paper considers testing for MA(1) against AR(1) disturbances in the linear regression model. Tests investigated include approximate point optimal invariant (POI) tests, an asymptotic test of the second-order residual autocorrelation coefficient and a Lagrange multiplier (LM) test. A Monte Carlo experiment compares their small-sample performances. Of the asymptotic tests, the LM test has the most satisfactory sizes, while its rival has the better overall power. We find the approximate POI tests have superior size and power properties in comparison to the asymptotic tests. An approximate POI test is applied to a random walk model for Australian real interest rates.

description: We report the accurate sub-arcsec X-ray position of the new Anomalous X-ray Pulsar (AXP) XTE J1810-197, derived with a Chndra-HRC Target of Opportunity observation carried out in November 2003. We also report the discovery of a likely IR counterpart based on a VLT (IR band) Target of Opportunity observation carried out in October 2003. Our proposed counterpart is the only IR source (Ks=20.8) in the X-ray error circle. Its IR colors as well as the X-ray/IR flux ratio, are consistent with those of the counterparts of all other AXPs (at variance with field star colors). Deep Gunn-i band images obtained at the 3.6m ESO telescope detected no sources down to a limiting magnitude of 24.3. Moreover, we find that the pulsed fraction and count rates of XTE J1810-197 remained nearly unchanged since the previous Chandra and XMM-Newton observations (2003 August 27th and September 8th, respectively). We briefly discuss the implications of these results. In particular, we note that the transient (or at least highly variable) nature of this AXP might imply a relatively large number of hidden members of this class.

description: Reflectance of silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) is an important aspect to understand the large scale SiPM-based detector systems and evaluate the performance of SiPMs. We report the reflactance of two SiPMs, NUV-HD-lowCT and S14160-60-50HS manufactured by Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK) and Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. (HPK) respectively, in linear alkylbenzene (LAB) and in air at visible wavelengths. Our results show that the reflectance of the FBK SiPM in air varies in the range of 14% to 23% , depending on wavelengths and angle of incidence, which is 2 time larger than that of the HPK device. This indicates that the two manufacturers are using different designs of anti-reflective coating on SiPMs' surfaces. The reflectance is reduced by about 10% when SiPMs are immersed in LAB, compared with that measured in air. The profiles of reflected light beams are also measured by a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera for the two SiPMs.

We find three temporally overlapping eras, each having a rather distinct beginning. These are the astrogeological era of meteorite discovery, the high energy era of particle detectors, and the photon astronomy era of microwave, sub--mm and infrared telescopes, sidelined by a few niche experiments at optical wavelengths. The favourable atmospheric and geophysical conditions are briefly examined, followed by an account of the major experiments and a summary of their results.

description: The distribution of Hepatozoon from anurans, specifically frogs, and their host-parasite relationship are of great interest. Due to the specifics of frogs’ ontogeny, they form a link between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. These amphibians are important in food chains, ensuring the normal functioning of biocenosis. In this study, we present data on Hepatozoon incidence in Pelophylax ridibundus (Pallas, 1771) for the first time in Bulgaria. The blood smears of 137 individuals were investigated. In three of five studied localities, the presence of apicomplexan haemoparasite from the genus Hepatozoon was revealed. The indices Infection extensity (IE) and Infection intensity (II) showed different rate of infection in frogs populations inhabiting Chaya river (IE=27.50%; II=10.96%), Tsalapitsa rice fields (IE=6.38; II=9.91%) and nature wetland Zlato pole (IE=10%; II=8.07%). It was found that the gamonts morphology and morphometric parameters of the parasite are closest to Hepatozoon magna, but molecular tools are required to confirm the species determination. Our findings revealed that acridine orange is an appropriate dye for detecting haemoparasites of the gender Hepatozoon.

description: We present a theoretical study on the superconductivity in β'-(BEDT-TTF)_2ICl_2 at Tc=14.2K under high hydrostatic pressure found by Taniguchi et al., which is the highest record among organic superconductors. Its electronic structure is well expressed by the anisotropic triangular lattice Hubbard model at half filling. In the present work, we study this effective model by using the fluctuation-exchange (FLEX) approximation. In the obtained phase diagram, the superconductivity with d_{x^2-y^2} like symmetry is realized next to the antiferromagnetic (AF) insulating phase, as a result of the 1D-2D dimensional crossover driven by the pressure. The obtained maximum Tc is 16-18K. In addition, the superconductivity in β-(BEDT-TTF)_2X is also understood in the same framework.

Creators: name: Berridge, Christopher Alan
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2010

description: Hydrogen is a potential solution to transport's environmental challenge However. current production and delivery methods may make hydrogen no more environmentally friendly than many other transport fuels, Transporting hydrogen IS difficult and energy Intensive Given the right production and delivery system, a future Hydrogen economy could address environmental Issues and other major areas of concern such as energy security and shortage This research focuses on the viable pathways to deliver hydrogen for fleet vehicles. Drawing on a range of sources, including the recent Clean Urban Transport for Europe (CUTE) demonstration projects, the research models a set of pathway options comparing:- • Economics - the cost of hydrogen for fleet vehicles compared to a base diesel reference case, • Environmental issues - CO2 equivalent emissions for each of the pathways Overall, the results of this research will show that:- • Hydrogen is potentially competitive with diesel in terms of cost of production, but not for cost of distribution. Overall distribution costs make hydrogen pathways more expensive than diesel. • Localised production of hydrogen is not competitive with centralised production at present. so it is likely that a hydrogen distribution system is going to be needed It is possible that future localised production systems may be competitive but would depend on reduced capital equipment costs. • The cheapest hydrogen pathways may not be the pathways with the least emissions • The storage of hydrogen appears to be a major part of distribution costs. • Gaseous hydrogen delivery by road tanker can only meet small niche markets. • Transporting hydrogen in liquid state is not viable for any supply chain lengths and demands in the UK (within the boundaries of this model ie: 200km and 5,000kg I day). • Gaseous hydrogen delivery by pipeline is needed if a reasonable uptake is sought. This would require significant investment.
title: Breaching bodily boundaries: transgressive embodiment and gender queering in contemporary performance art
Creators: name: Riszko, Leila Nicole
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Performance art, body politics, queer, gender studies, Mouse, Cassils, boychild.

description: This thesis asks: how have recent changes in body politics impacted on the themes and ideas explored in contemporary body-based performance? What aesthetic and formal strategies do artists use to attempt to challenge sedimented norms, hegemonies, and power structures related to gender and the body? Contributing to an emerging field of contemporary research which takes a queer, transfeminist methodological approach to disrupting conventional ways of seeing and thinking sex, gender, and other constructions of the body, this studycenters on contemporary practices which utilise the performing body as a ground for negotiating social prescriptions, and nurturing new, alternative forms of embodiment. This thesis undertakes the first detailed academic study of the performance practice of three under-researched artists: Mouse, Cassils, and boychild. Via close analysis of these case study examples it theorises specific deployments of the transgressive body in performance and argues that these bodies challenge assumptions of normative subjectivity through different strategies of queer intervention and subversion. Mouse exploits the disruptive potentiality in abject, grotesque, and parodic strategies; Cassils manipulates the binary structure of the heterosexual hegemony by queering the material form of her/his own body; and boychild’s queer, black embodiment extends beyond sci-fi inspired, cyborgian aesthetics, toward a plotting of posthuman, afrofuturist politics. Whilst each case study artist poses a challenge to bodily (hetero)normativity, each works in a different style or form to the next, using different aesthetics and appropriating from a range of ‘low’ or popular (sub)cultures. Consequently, the analyses in this study are formulated using a methodology which interweaves transdisciplinary ‘high’ theory approaches with non-academic literature on popular and/or subcultural forms. This thesis therefore makes contributions to knowledge primarily within the fields of body art and performance studies, but also within (trans)gender and (trans)feminist studies, queer theory, critical race theory and cultural studies.

description: The triple heterojunction TFET has been originally proposed to resolve TFET's low ON-current challenge. The carrier transport in such devices is complicated due to the presence of quantum wells and strong scattering. Hence, the full band atomistic NEGF approach, including scattering, is required to model the carrier transport accurately. However, such simulations for devices with realistic dimensions are computationally unfeasible. To mitigate this issue, we have employed the empirical tight-binding mode space approximation to simulate triple heterojunction TFETs with the body thickness up to 12 nm. The triple heterojunction TFET design is optimized using the model to achieve a sub-60mV/dec transfer characteristic under realistic scattering conditions.
Ecological Change in Guam: Historic Insights from the Foraminiferan, Baculogypsina sphaerulata
Creators: name: Doherty, John
Publisher: name: ProQuest
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 41
subject: Environmental sciences

description: Because of their abundance and preservation in sediment, foraminifera are useful tools in environmental monitoring. Species that harbor algal symbionts thrive in oligotrophic environments and are sensitive to various stressors associated with human development, making them excellent proxies for changes in water quality. Due to uncertainties surrounding the impacts of Guam’s expanding population on local reef ecosystems, it is critical to document historic stressors to inform future conservation efforts. This study uses sediment cores taken from back-reef habitat in Agaña Bay, a site heavily affected by development, and Shark’s Hole, a less impacted site, to analyze changes in the relative abundance of Baculogypsina sphaerulata, the most prevalent symbiont-bearing foraminiferan. B. sphaerulata abundance declined over the past 570 years in Agaña Bay, but increased during the past 560 years in Shark’s Hole. These data suggest historic anthropogenic deterioration of water quality in Agaña Bay. Because of its important role in reef carbonate production, test thickness (mg/mm shell) measurements are also made to document geophysical changes of B. sphaerulata’s calcite over time. Unexpectedly, we find an increase in test thickness over time in Agaña Bay.

description: This paper examines whether structural unemployment increased in Australia over the last two decades. A simple regression model has been considered for testing the hypothesis of an increase in unemployment in several segments of the labour force over time. Six dimensions of the labour force namely, age, sex, region, duration of unemployment, occupation and industry have been taken into account. Analysis of the regression results reveals that the structural unemployment problem is substantial with respect to age, sex, duration of unemployment, occupation and industry. Regarding region the evidence for structural unemployment is not very strong.

description: We present a comprehensive multi-scale test of the diversity-deficit hypothesis that posits a negative association between diversity and development. We develop a ‘scale-flip hypothesis’ that formalises how the political salience of diversity is contingent on the level of analysis. We also contribute to the political economy of public goods literature using the largest dataset used to date – n ≈ 1.2 million village-year points from a two-period panel of all villages in the Indian national census data. We find evidence for ‘scale-flip’ so that there is a robust positive association between diversity and public goods at the local level.
The Impact of Unconventional Monetary Policy on Financial Markets, Credit Markets and Financial Stability
Creators: name: Covindassamy, Genevre
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: In response to the 2008 financial crisis, the Federal Reserve initially responded using the federal funds rate. However, by December 2008 it had reached the zero lower bound (ZLB). With economic conditions still deteriorating the Federal Reserve used unconventional monetary policy actions in the form of Large-Scale Asset Purchases (LSAPs) to lower a range of long-term interest rates. The intention was to stimulate economic activity and promote recovery. The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the effects of LSAPs from three perspectives. In the first chapter we find that LSAPs had a positive effect on the stock prices of some financial sectors. However, the effects were not as statistically significant for nonfinancial sectors. In the second chapter, we find that LSAPs helped the consumer and mortgage credit markets but not business credit. Overall the effects were weak. In the third chapter, we document the change in the Federal Reserve and banks' balance sheets as a result of LSAPs. It is clear that most of the liquidity injections remained as excess reserves, though we show an upper bound on how much of these injections went into new loans and deposits relative to cash or excess reserves. We discuss alternative ways that LSAPs could have mattered, such as through rebuilding bank balance sheets. Even though the liquidity injections may not be able to stimulate economic recovery they may help rebuilt and strengthen financial institutions. Restoring financial stability is beneficial to avoid a complete collapse of systemically important financial institutions.

description: At high Reynolds numbers, the use of explicit in time compressible flow simulations with spectral/$hp$ element discretization can become significantly limited by time step. To alleviate this limitation we extend the capability of the spectral/$hp$ element open-source software framework, Nektar++, to include an implicit discontinuous Galerkin compressible flow solver. The integration in time is carried out by a singly diagonally implicit Runge-Kutta method. The non-linear system arising from the implicit time integration is iteratively solved by the Jacobian-free Newton Krylov (JFNK) method. A favorable feature of the JFNK approach is its extensive use of the explicit operators available from the previous explicit in time implementation. The functionalities of different building blocks of the implicit solver are analyzed from the point of view of software design and placed in appropriate hierarchical levels in the C++ libraries. In the detailed implementation, the contributions of different parts of the solver to computational cost, memory consumption, and programming complexity are also analyzed. A combination of analytical and numerical methods is adopted to simplify the programming complexity in forming the preconditioning matrix. The solver is verified and tested using cases such as manufactured compressible Poiseuille flow, Taylor-Green vortex, turbulent flow over a circular cylinder at $\text{Re}=3900$ and shock wave boundary-layer interaction. The results show that the implicit solver can speed-up the simulations while maintaining good simulation accuracy.

description: We use survey data on 170,000 households from Asia, Latin America and Africa, global geo-spatial data, and an economic geography framework to highlight five findings about rural youth in developing countries. First, the youth share in population is falling rapidly, and youth numbers are stable or falling slowly everywhere, except in Africa. In Africa, youth share is rising very slowly, but numbers are set to double in 40 years. Second, large majorities of rural youth live in spaces that are not inherently limiting: two-thirds live in zones with highest agricultural potential, and one-quarter combine this with highest commercialisation potential. The 4% that do live in inherently challenging spaces are concentrated in pockets of persistent poverty in middle-income countries. Third, rural spaces’ commercial potential has large impacts on welfare outcomes, but their agricultural potential has no detectable impact. Fourth, households with young members face income- and poverty ‘penalties’ in all regions and spaces within them, compared to households without young members. The poverty penalty declines sharply over space as commercial potential rises, but the income penalty shows ambiguous patterns. Fifth, households with young members earn lower relative returns to education, with varying patterns over space.

description: In response to the 2008 financial crisis, the Federal Reserve initially responded using the federal funds rate. However, by December 2008 it had reached the zero lower bound (ZLB). With economic conditions still deteriorating the Federal Reserve used unconventional monetary policy actions in the form of Large-Scale Asset Purchases (LSAPs) to lower a range of long-term interest rates. The intention was to stimulate economic activity and promote recovery. The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the effects of LSAPs from three perspectives. In the first chapter we find that LSAPs had a positive effect on the stock prices of some financial sectors. However, the effects were not as statistically significant for nonfinancial sectors. In the second chapter, we find that LSAPs helped the consumer and mortgage credit markets but not business credit. Overall the effects were weak. In the third chapter, we document the change in the Federal Reserve and banks' balance sheets as a result of LSAPs. It is clear that most of the liquidity injections remained as excess reserves, though we show an upper bound on how much of these injections went into new loans and deposits relative to cash or excess reserves. We discuss alternative ways that LSAPs could have mattered, such as through rebuilding bank balance sheets. Even though the liquidity injections may not be able to stimulate economic recovery they may help rebuilt and strengthen financial institutions. Restoring financial stability is beneficial to avoid a complete collapse of systemically important financial institutions.

description: First-year Economic Statistics at Monash University is a compulsory two-semester course for students enrolled in the B.Ec. degree. Total enrolment is typically around 740 students. Physical constraints have kept tutorial class sizes to an average of 15 students. The majority of tutors are postgraduate students working as part-time tutors. Few, if any, have had any formal training in teaching and for most it is their first teaching experience. Also different cultural and language backgrounds appeared to be contributing to an unacceptable degree of heterogeneity across tutorials. This prompted the Department to initiate a series of workshops to improve the quality of tutorials. This paper describes the process leading up to the first workshop and the conclusions that came out of it. Without claiming that these workshops are a substitute for formal teacher training, we feel they have achieved a degree of success in improving the quality of tutorials and motivating tutors to strive for excellence in teaching.
Star formation in cloud cores -- simulations and observations of dense molecular cores and the formation of solar mass stars

description: Star formation is inefficient. Recent advances in numerical simulations and theoretical models of molecular clouds show that the combined effects of interstellar turbulence, magnetic fields and stellar feedback can explain the low efficiency of star formation. The star formation rate is highly sensitive to the driving mode of the turbulence. Solenoidal driving may be more important in the Central Molecular Zone, compared to more compressive driving agents in spiral-am clouds. Both theoretical and observational efforts are underway to determine the dominant driving mode of turbulence in different Galactic environments. New observations with ALMA, combined with other instruments such as CARMA, JCMT and the SMA begin to reveal the magnetic field structure of dense cores and protostellar disks, showing highly complex field geometries with ordered and turbulent field components. Such complex magnetic fields can give rise to a range of stellar masses and jet/outflow efficiencies in dense cores and protostellar accretion disks.

description: The negotiations conducted over 2000 — 2002 concerning the EU enlargement mean taking over the obligations involved in 29 chapters, priority being given to Chapter 7— „Agriculture" and other indirectly related 8 chapters. The agricultural chapter was opened in 2001, and discussions about contents and correction of the negotiation claims escalated with a precondition for concluding them in December 2002. In the final phase (October 2002), the Slovak agriculture has made progress in the transposition and implementation conditions of the acquis particularly in the veterinary and phytosanitary questions of food safety. The negotiations showed an increase in agriculture share in total added value (4 %), an agro—employment decrease (4.9%), and improving Slovak trade in agroproducts with the EU (export increased to 49% and import by 8 %) and agro—trade liberalisation. Also, new institutions have been established such as SAPARD Agency, Intervention Agricultural Agency, and Payment Agency. The Slovak agriculture reaches a 40-70% average of the EU intensity. Production, trade and consumption strategies follow up with EU parameters. The negotiation requirements for production, area and trade quotas and financial policy are being concluded.

description: Weeping Over the Ruins is an original novella set in Lebanon during the beginning of the sectarian civil war. It tells the story of Hadia Mariam Khoury, a young Lebanese woman, who is about to graduate from college when the civil war breaks out in her country. She lives in East Beirut, in the predominantly Christian neighborhood where the first couple of incidents, a bus shooting and a church shooting, set off the civil war which ended up lasting over fifteen years and disrupting more than half a million lives. We follow Hadia and the residents of her building as they continue to lead their daily lives, despite the mayhem around them. We accompany them as each layer of normal life begins to peel off around them. Most of the events and vignettes in this novella take place between April 13, 1975, the beginning of the civil war, and May 13, 1977, the day Hadia the aunt is shot and Hadia the niece is born.

description: Each business entity being in a certain social and economic environment is dependent on both external and internal environment factors. The external environment factors, such as social-cultural, political-legal, economic, and technological ones, and the internal environment factors covering natural and technical resources, technological processes level, qualification of manual and executive workers and their structural arrangement undermine a level of the resulting behaviour of business entities. By changing these factors the resulting behaviour can be changed and, vice versa, from the required level of this behaviour it can be inferred that some changes in individual factors are necessary.

description: In this paper the Kalman filter and regression approaches for estimating linear state space models are compared. It is argued that the Kalman filter is no more efficient from a computational point of view, is relatively more complex and hence more obtruse, and that as consequence its central role in the smoothing, estimation and prediction of time series is questionable.
