title: Disintegrative Power Structures in Australian Export Airfreight Chains
Creators: name: Fox, Murray Charles
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Air freight industry
subject: Dyadic relationships
subject: Power regimes

description: There is a perception in the air freight community that the Australian air freight industry operates in an uncoordinated, disintegrated way with third party logistics providers and others attempting to maximize revenues and profits (in effect, to appropriate maximum value) in a ‘cost plus’ working environment. The impression has been reinforced by traditional airlines who have focused their business model on an airport to airport basis, allowing, the recently established ‘integrators’ such as DHL, FedEx and others - effectively their competitors in express and other freights - the capability to offer their customers an integrated door-to-door service. In this respect, the integrators have structured and marketed themselves to operate in an end-to-end, fully integrated and controlled operating model. Some industry managers, having observed the continual downward spiral of air freight yields being achieved by traditional airlines, have attributed these falling yields to over-capacity in the supply side of the air freight markets. This thesis suggests, however, that this view is overly simplistic and that there are more complex factors at play. Particularly, it was much impressed and inspired by the relatively recent work of Andrew Cox and his associates at Birmingham University who have developed an important, relevant and realistic conceptual framework that focuses on the power relationships between individual firms in a chain (dyadic relationships) or between sets of chain players (power regimes) in supply chains; and on the ability of firms enjoying significant levels of power within the supply chain to appropriate above normal returns (or economic rents) and to exert dominance over firms with little or no power in the chain. In effect, Cox argued that the actions and business behaviour of individual firms in the supply chain could, and do, have a direct bearing on the efficiency of the chain as a whole entity. Robinson, following and modifying some aspects of the Cox framework was the first to apply Cox’s work to freight movement and the special role of third party service or logistics providers in chains and in particular, to ocean freight and maritime and port-related freight movements.
Ultralight particle creation during fresh inflation

description: I study ultralight particle creation which becomes from the Yukawa interaction between the inflaton and the thermal bath during fresh inflation. Particle creation is important in the first stages of fresh inflation, when the nonequilibrium thermal effects are important. I find that the number density of the ultralight created particles is more important as the scale factor growth rate is more large (i.e., for $p$ large -- $a \sim t^p$). Ultralight boson fields created during fresh inflation could be an alternative mechanism to cosmological constant to explain the discrepancy between the observed $Ω_m \simeq 0.2$ and $Ω_{tot} \simeq 1$, predicted by inflationary models.

Beyond the water's edge : domestic politics and congressional intervention in US China policy, 1989-1996
Creators: name: Yang, Jian
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1999

description: The common wisdom about the struggle for foreign policy power between the US Congress and President is that the making and conduct of foreign policy are likely to be dominated by the Executive. A review of the literature in this field reveals that this wisdom is largely based on historical studies on issues like declaring war, ratifying treaties or recognising foreign governments. Many other foreign policy issues such as foreign economic policy and human rights policy are much understudied. Available studies also show more interest in documenting Congress' role in certain policies with less attention to the internal dynamics of how Congress came to behave as it did. Classical political science theories on the behaviour of Congress in policy making identify one focal point as the basis of analysis (interest groups, ideology, partisanship, constituency, committee, public opinion, media, or institutional constraints). The thesis proceeds from the fairly obvious presumption that foreign policy making is a complex process which cannot be fully explained by any single theory. It therefore adopts a more expansive approach and pays special attention to three factors which might loosely be termed structural factors: partisanship, constituency and committee. This thesis concerns itself primarily with a comparative evaluation of these three factors but concludes with some comment on the broader context which includes other factors, such as ideology, interest groups and Presidential leadership. These other factors are no less important than the three structural factors. The thesis takes as case studies the issues of China's most-favoured-nation (MFN) trade status and US policy towards Taiwan under two administrations -that of George Bush and the first Clinton Administration. This period (1989-1996) was not only a time of considerable change in the global strategic environment but also a time of instability in US-China relations. The thesis shows that at a theoretical level, Congressional behaviour can be best explained if it is understood as the sum of a variety of often incongruent actions and compromises, each one of which might have its roots in one or other of the motivations identified by classical political science theories. Essentially, a theoretical explanation of Congressional behaviour must take into account the fact that Congressional decision making involves 535 individual members and a large number of committees. This thesis found that while partisanship is generally more influential in shaping Congressional intervention in foreign policy, this is only true when interests of constituency are not heavily involved. As for committees, although their actions are central to Congressional outcomes, those actions are largely determined by partisanship and constituency.

Computational approach to scaling and criticality in planar Ising models

description: In this thesis, we study the critical behaviour of the two-dimensional Ising model on the regular lattices. Using the numerical solution of the model on the square, triangular and honeycomb lattices we compute the universal scaling function, which turns out to be identical on each of the lattices, in addition to being identical to the scaling function of the Ising Field Theory, computed previously by Fonseca and Zamolodchikov. To cope with the lattice contributions we carefully examined series expansions of the lattice free energy derivatives. We included the non-scaling regular part of the free energy as well as non-linear Aharony-Fisher scaling elds, which all have non-universal expansions. Using as many of the previously known exact results as possible, we were able to t the unknown coe cients of the scaling function expansion and obtain some non-universal coe cients. In contrast to the IFT approach of Fonseca and Zamolodchikov, all coe cients were obtained independently from separate datasets, without using dispersion relations. These results show that the Scaling and Universality hypotheses, with the help of the Aharony-Fisher corrections, hold on the lattice to very high precision and so there should be no doubt of their validity. For all numerical computations we used the Corner Transfer Matrix Renormalisation Group (CTMRG) algorithm, introduced by Nishino and Okunishi. The algorithm combines Baxter's variational approach (which gives Corner Transfer Matrix (CTM) equations), and White's Density Matrix Renormalisation Group (DMRG) method to solve the CTM equations e ciently. It was shown that given su cient distance from the critical point, the algorithmic precision is exceptionally good and is unlikely to be exceeded with any other general algorithm using the same amount of numerical computations. While performing tests we also con rmed several critical parameters of the three-state Ising and Blume-Capel models, although no extra precision was gained, compared to previous results from other methods. In addition to the results presented here, we produced an efficient and reusable implementation of the CTMRG algorithm, which after minor modifications could be used for a variety of lattice models, such as the Kashiwara-Miwa and the chiral Potts models.
30 Years After the Bayh-Dole Act: Rethinking the Australian Research Commercialisation Experience

description: By granting universities the rights to assert ownership of intellectual property (IP) resulting from United States (US) federally sponsored research, the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980 has stimulated considerable interest from policymakers around the world. Inspired by the US example, the Australian government has introduced a similar patent policy to encourage the commercialisation of publicly funded research. Research institutions have quickly responded to this policy and established technology transfer offices (TTOs) to manage the identification, protection and exploitation of IP created by their employees. It is often assumed that this IP-based approach accelerates the transfer of new inventions from academia to industry and helps to generate national benefits and social return from public investment in research. This thesis provides a case study of the commercialisation of publicly funded research in the biotechnology sector in Australia. Following mainly a qualitative approach, the study explores the rise of the research commercialisation phenomenon by tracking its historical origins, key turning points and their present ramifications. It also examines the perceptions, motivation and experiences of various participants such as academic scientists, technology transfer managers, entrepreneurs/CEOs and private investors. At the individual level, an important finding of this study was that the term research commercialisation is understood differently by different participants. Two main views were identified which not only differ semantically, but also in their objectives, timescales, assumptions and measures of success. The clarification of these views enables the participants to better understand each other and minimise unproductive debates. At the institutional level, this study revealed that by focusing on the exploitation of IP resulting from publicly funded research, Australia's current TTO-based structural arrangements may interfere with the flow of scientific discoveries from academia to industry and encourage academic inventors and entrepreneurs to bypass the TTOs. Explanations for these unexpected outcomes are given and suggestions for possible improvement are discussed. Although this study is based on the biotechnology sector in Australia, the research findings may have important implications for any other sectors and for other countries with similar structural arrangements.

description: Garbage collection is a performance-critical component of modern language implementations. The performance of a garbage collector depends in part on major algorithmic decisions, but also significantly on implementation details and techniques which are often incidental in the literature. In this dissertation I look in detail at the performance characteristics of garbage collection on modern architectures. My thesis is that a thorough understanding of the characteristics of the heap to be collected, coupled with measured performance of various design alternatives on a range of modern architectures provides insights that can be used to improve the performance of any garbage collection algorithm. The key contributions of this work are: 1) A new analysis technique (replay collection) for measuring the performance of garbage collection algorithms; 2) a novel technique for applying software prefetch to non-moving garbage collectors that achieves significant performance gains; and 3) a comprehensive analysis of object scanning techniques, cataloguing and comparing the performance of the known methods, and leading to a new technique that optimizes performance without significant cost to the runtime environment. These contributions are applicable to a wide range of garbage collectors, and can provide significant measurable speedups to a design point where each implementer in the past has had to trust intuition or their own benchmarking. The methodologies and implementation techniques contributed in this dissertation have the potential to make a significant improvement to the performance of every garbage collector.

description: We present a systematic classification and analysis of possible pairing instabilities in graphene-based moiré superlattices. Motivated by recent experiments on twisted double-bilayer graphene showing signs of triplet superconductivity, we analyze both singlet and triplet pairing separately, and describe how these two channels behave close to the limit where the system is invariant under separate spin rotations in the two valleys, realizing an SU(2)$_+$ $\times$ SU(2)$_-$ symmetry. Further, we discuss the conditions under which singlet and triplet can mix via two nearly degenerate transitions, and how the different pairing states behave when an external magnetic field is applied. The consequences of the additional microscopic or emergent approximate symmetries relevant for superconductivity in twisted bilayer graphene and ABC trilayer graphene on hexagonal boron nitride are described in detail. We also analyze which of the pairing states can arise in mean-field theory and study the impact of corrections coming from ferromagnetic fluctuations. For instance, we show that, close to the parameters of mean-field theory, a nematic mixed singlet-triplet state emerges. Our study illustrates that graphene superlattices provide a rich platform for exotic superconducting states, and allow for the admixture of singlet and triplet pairing even in the absence of spin-orbit coupling.

Term structure of interest rates

description: This doctoral dissertation comprises three essays which study the determinants of bond yields. The dissertation is organised around the idea that bond yields can be partitioned into a risky component which prices for the risk of illiquidity and default; and a risk-free component which prices for investors' time preferences, and expected monetary policy movements. The first essay considers the liquidity and credit premia in supranational, semi-government and agency bond yields; term premia in sovereign bond yields and their relation to the economy constitute the focus of the second essay; and the third essay is devoted to an inquiry into the nature of expectations of future monetary policy movements in bond yields. In each case, it is found that valuable information can indeed be extracted from the market pricing implied by bond yields.

The results indicate that the single-particle space-momentum angle distribution plays an important role in the transverse momentum dependence of HBT radii. In a cylinder source, we use several formulas to describe the transverse momentum dependence of HBT radii and the single-particle space-momentum angle distribution. We also make a numerical connection between them in the transverse plane.

description: This dissertation uses subnational data to analyze determinants of income disparities across regions within countries. It focuses on three specific factors: culture, foreign aid and temperature. A general introduction highlights the relevance of analyzing regional data when focusing on economic development. Chapter 2 explores the effect of the cultural variables Independence and Obedience on regional incomes. A new and unique dataset with economic and cultural variables for more than 1,200 regions between 1980 to 2010 is explored while taking account of country fixed effects. The regional appreciation of the cultural value Independence has a positive and statistically significant association with regional per capita income, whereas the value Obedience exerts a negative effect. Chapter 3 explores the relevance of World Bank projects on water quality, access to water, child mortality and toilet quality. To do so, the chapter employs information from about 1.8 million individuals from Demographic and Health Surveys and combines it with data from 14’000 subnational World Bank projects between 1986 and 2017. The results suggest that World Bank projects reduce the time to gather water and child mortality and increase the quality of drinking water and sanitation. Chapter 4 studies the link between regional temperature and regional incomes. Once accounting for country fixed effects and employing country clustering, there is no statistically robust relationship between regional temperature and four different measures of regional economic development. Moreover, there is no systematic indication that temperature is non-linearly related to regional income nor that the effect of temperature on economic development is particularly pronounced in poorer regions. Chapter 5 summarizes all the results of the research chapters and discusses potential policy implications, potential drawbacks and limitations of the empirical analysis conducted in the present dissertation.

A Spacetime Alexandrov Theorem

description: Let Σ be an embedded spacelike codimension-2 submanifold in a spherically symmetric spacetime satisfying null convergence condition. Suppose Σ has constant null mean curvature and zero torsion. We prove that Σ must lie in a standard null cone. This generalizes the classical Alexandrov theorem which classifies embedded constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in Euclidean space. The proof follows the idea of Ros and Brendle. We first derive a spacetime Minkowski formula for spacelike codimension-2 submanifolds using conformal Killing-Yano 2-forms. The Minkowski formula is then combined with a Heintze-Karcher type geometric inequality to prove the main theorem. We also obtain several rigidity results for codimension-2 submanifolds in spherically symmetric spacetimes.

New techniques for household microsimulation, and their application to Australia

Subjects: household microsimulation

description: Household microsimulation models are sometimes used by national governments to make long-term projections of proposed policy changes. They are costly to develop and maintain, and sometimes have short lifetimes. Most present national models have limited interactions between agents, few regions and long simulation cycles. Some models are very slow to run. Overcoming these limitations may open up a much wider range of government, business and individual uses. This thesis suggests techniques to help make multi-purpose dynamic microsimulations of households, with fine spatial resolutions, high sampling densities and short simulation cycles. Techniques suggested are: * simulation by sampling with loaded probabilities * proportional event alignment * event alignment using random sampling * immediate matching by probability-weighting * immediate 'best of n' matching. All of these techniques are tested in artificial situations. Three of them - sampling with loaded probabilities, alignment using random sampling and best of n matching - are successfully tested in the Cumpston model, a household microsimulation model developed for this thesis. Sampling with loaded probabilities is found to give almost identical results to the traditional all-case sampling, but be quicker. The suggested alignment and matching techniques are shown to give less distortion and generally lower runtimes than some techniques currently in use. The Cumpston model is based on a 1% sample from the 2001 Australian census. Individuals, families, households and dwellings are included. Immigration and emigration are separately simulated, together with internal migration between 57 statistical divisions. Transitions between 8 person types are simulated, and between 9 occupations. The model projects education, employment, earnings and retirement savings for each individual, and dwelling values, rents and housing loans for each household. The onset and development of diseases for each individual are simulated. Validation of the model was based on methods used by the Orcutt, CORSIM, DYNACAN and APPSIM models. Iterative methods for model calibration are described, together with a statistical test for creep in multiple runs. The model takes about 85 seconds to make projections for 50 years with yearly simulation cycles. After standardizing for sample size and projection years, this is a little slower than the fastest national models currently operating. A planned extension of the model is to 2.2 million persons over 2,214 areas, synthesized from 2011 census tabulations. Using multithreading where feasible, a 50-year projection may take about 10 minutes.

description: The metric perturbation induced by a particle in the Schwarzschild background is usually calculated in the Regge-Wheeler (RW) gauge, whereas the gravitational self-force is known to be given by the tail part of the metric perturbation in the harmonic gauge. Thus, to identify the gravitational self-force correctly in a specified gauge, it is necessary to find out a gauge transformation that connects these two gauges. This is called the gauge problem. As a direct approach to solve the gauge problem, we formulate a method to calculate the metric perturbation in the harmonic gauge on the Schwarzshild backgound. We apply the Fourier-harmonic expansion to the metric perturbation and reduce the problem to the gauge transformation of the Fourier-harmonic coefficients (radial functions) from the RW gauge to the harmonic gauge. We derive a set of decoupled radial equations for the gauge transformation. These equations are found to have a simple second-order form for the odd parity part and the forms of spin $s=0$ and 1 Teukolsky equations for the even parity part. As a by-product, we correct typos in Zerilli's paper and present a set of corrected equations in Appendix.

Subjects: subject: Information literacy
subject: Information services
subject: Libraries and students

description: Learning information literacy reports on an empirical study that explores the qualitatively different ways students in an Australian university experience learning how to find and use information. Recognised as a generic skill and graduate attribute that enables independent and lifelong learning, information literacy is increasingly accepted as a broad and complex educational and social concept. The study uses phenomenography as its methodological and theoretical basis. Phenomenography is a qualitative research approach that originated in educational research, where it was developed to gain a greater insight into student learning in educational settings. It has received considerable recent support in information literacy research. This study is based on interviews with 15 education students. Seven of the participants were drawn from an undergraduate Technology Education program, while the remaining eight were a mixture of undergraduate and postgraduate students undertaking more traditional text-based courses. The study reveals that these students experienced learning information literacy in a range of inclusive ways. In order of increasing complexity, these were: 1. Learning to find information; 2. Learning a process to use information; 3. Learning to use information to create a product; 4. Learning to use information to build a personal knowledge base in a subject area; 5. Learning to use information to advance disciplinary knowledge; 6. Learning to use information to grow as a person and to contribute to others. 2 While there are no other studies that explore students’ ways of experiencing learning information literacy, this study discusses the experiences of information literacy that are represented in key empirical studies that use the phenomenographic research approach and three information literacy curriculum models. Through juxtaposing the results with these studies and models, ways of experiencing information literacy and learning information literacy are illuminated. Implications for information literacy education are also discussed. Understanding the different ways that students experience learning information literacy will assist librarians, academics and other educators to design and deliver information literacy education across this range of experiences and facilitate more expansive experiences for students.

Harrison was nicknamed the “beehive of industry” by President Howard Taft in 1912. One such complex of industrial buildings occupies a site directly south of the PATH station near the Passaic River. Originally built at the time of World War I as the Crucible Steel Company, the buildings have had many different tenants in the last fifty years. Most of the buildings are currently vacant, with two large shed buildings used to park cars for commuters and soccer game attendees. However, plans for a new residential community and mixed-use facilities on this and adjacent lots threaten the future of the buildings and the industrial heritage of Harrison. Many of the surrounding factories have already been torn down in the last ten years to make way for development, including a soccer stadium that opened in 2010. Panasonic is currently
constructing a 58,000 SF technology center on the site beside the existing buildings. Instead of tearing everything down and making a bland corporate environment, why not adapt the existing structures to preserve and continue to use them? The buildings on this site are architecturally and historically significant, and today’s companies stand to gain from reusing them rather than constructing new ones. They can be adaptively reused as part of a new
technology complex that would preserve the historic use and character of both the individual building and the town of Harrison. This design proposal will attempt to prove that the reuse of early twentieth-century industrial buildings for the modern technology sector is not only feasible architecturally, economically, and environmentally, but can also yield a superior workplace environment for the tenant corporation, its employees, and the surrounding community.
A Star Shall Fall: Young America and the Politics of Manifest Destiny, 1844-1861
Creators: Reuter, Tim
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2011
Subjects: History

description: This paper explores the interplay between politics and ideology within the context of American expansion in the Late Jacksonian Era (1840s and 1850s). This paper seeks to understand the role of a younger generation of Democrats in changing the Democratic Party and the Second Party System as the United States expanded territorially and, unbeknownst to them, careened towards disunion and civil war. Of particular importance is the conception of a term which is synonymous with American expansion, Manifest Destiny. Rather than rehashing prior arguments about Manifest Destiny's ideological importance, this thesis goes an alternate route. It reframes Manifest Destiny as a paradoxical idea: simultaneously it served as a vague nationalism espoused by younger Democrats as a tool to achieve party unity on expansion and as the progenitor of the sectional conflict which culminated in secession and the Civil War.
title: Development of Reliable Long-term Bridge Deterioration Model using Neural Network Techniques

description: Bridges are vital components of any road network which demand crucial and timely decision-making for Maintenance, Repair and Rehabilitation (MR&R) activities. Bridge Management Systems (BMSs) as a Decision Support System (DSS), have been developed since the early 1990’s to assist in the management of a large bridge network. Historical condition ratings obtained from biennial bridge inspections are major resources for predicting future bridge deteriorations via BMSs. Available historical condition ratings in most bridge agencies, however, are very limited, and thus posing a major barrier for predicting reliable future structural performance. To alleviate this problem, a Backward Prediction Model (BPM) technique has been developed and verified to help generate missing historical condition ratings. This is achieved through establishing a correlation between the known condition ratings and such non-bridge factors as climate and environmental conditions, traffic volumes and population growth. Such correlations can then be used to obtain the bridge condition ratings of the missing years. 21 non-bridge factors which were used in initial BPM methodology are refined to 6 non-bridge factors because BPM- generated historical condition rating using this 6 non-bridge factors show good trend with existing condition ratings. With the help of generated datasets, the currently available bridge deterioration model can be utilised to more reliably forecast future bridge conditions. The prediction accuracies based on 4 and 9 BPM-generated historical condition ratings are compared, using deterministic and stochastic bridge deterioration models. The comparison outcomes indicate that the prediction error decreases as more historical condition ratings become available. This implies that the BPM can be utilised to generate unavailable historical data, which is crucial for bridge deterioration models to achieve more accurate prediction results. Nevertheless, there are still considerable limitations in the existing bridge deterioration models. In view of this, feasibility study on Time Delay Neural Network (TDNN) using BPM-generated historical condition ratings is conducted as an alternative to existing bridge deterioration models. The proposed TDNN model is capable of solving a number of problems encountered in the existing bridge deterioration models. Thus, it is anticipated that the TDNN using BPM-generated data can lead to further improvement of the current BMS outcome.

description: I prove three classification results about harmonic morphisms whose fibers have dimension one. All are valid when the domain is at least of dimension 4. (The character of this overdetermined problem is very different when the dimension of the domain is 3 or less.) The first result is a local classification for such harmonic morphisms with specified target metric, the second is a finiteness theorem for such harmonic morphisms with specified domain metric, and the third is a complete classification of such harmonic morphisms when the domain is a space form of constant sectional curvature The methods used are exterior differential systems and the moving frame. The fundamental results are local, but, because of the rigidity of the solutions, they allow a complete global classification.

description: Micreubrianax Pic, 1954
 Discussion. Micreubrianax was described by Pic (1922). However, the name and validity of the genus were in question until the revision by Jeng et al. (2006b). The genus contains four species, one of which (Micreubrianax siamensis Jeng, Jäch, and Yang, 2006) was described from collections in Thailand (Chiang Mai Zoo). The other species are distributed in India, Nepal, and Vietnam. The immature stages are unknown.

description: We introduce \TEOBiResumSM{}, a nonspinning inspiral-merger-ringdown waveform model built within the effective one body (EOB) framework that includes gravitational waveform modes beyond the dominant quadrupole $(\ell,|m|) = (2,2)$. The model incorporates: (i) an improved Padé resummation of the factorized waveform amplitudes $ρ_{\ell m}^{\rm orb}$ entering the EOB-resummed waveform where the 3PN, mass-ratio dependent, terms are hybridized with test-mass limit terms up to 6PN relative order for most of the multipoles up to $\ell=6$ included; (ii) an improved determination of the effective 5PN function $a_6^c(ν)$ entering the EOB interaction potential done using the most recent, error-controlled, nonspinning numerical relativity (NR) waveforms from the Simulating eXtreme Spacetimes (SXS) collaboration; and (iii) a NR-informed phenomenological description of the multipolar ringdown. Such representation stems from 19 NR waveforms with mass ratios up to $m_1/m_2=18$ as well as test-mass waveform data, although it does not incorporate mode-mixing effects. The NR-completed higher modes through merger and ringdown considered here are: $(\ell,|m|) = \lbrace (2,1), (3,3), (3,2),(3,1),(4,4), (4,3),(4,2), (4,1),(5,5)\rbrace$. For simplicity, the other subdominant modes, up to $\ell=8$, are approximated by the corresponding, purely analytical, factorized and resummed EOB waveform. To attempt an estimate of (some of) the underlying analytic uncertainties of the model, we also contrast the effect of the 6PN-hybrid Padé-resummed $ρ_{\ell m}$'s with the standard $3^{+2}$PN, Taylor-expanded, ones used in previous EOB works. The maximum unfaithfulness $\bar{F}$ against the SXS waveforms including all NR-completed modes up to $\ell=m=5$ is always $\lesssim 2\%$ for binaries with total mass $M$ as $50 M_{\odot} \leq M \lesssim 200 M_{\odot}$.
