description: In this thesis I provide a complete analysis of synchronic CV -> VC metathesis in Amarasi, an Austronesian language of western Timor. Metathesis and unmetathesis realise a paradigm of parallel forms, pairs of which occur to complement each other throughout the language. Metathesis in Amarasi is superficially associated with a bewildering array of disparate phonological processes including: vowel deletion, consonant deletion, consonant insertion and multiple kinds of vowel assimilation, any of which can (and do) vary by lect in their realisation. By proposing that Amarasi has an obligatory CVCVC foot in which C-slots can be empty, all these phonological processes can be straightforwardly derived from a single rule of metathesis and two associated phonological rules. Three kinds of metathesis can be identified in Amarasi. (i) Before vowel initial enclitics, roots must undergo metathesis, responding to the need to create a phonological boundary between a clitic host and enclitic. Such metathesis is syntactically driven but phonologically conditioned. (ii) Metathesis occurs within the syntax to signal attributive modification. A syntactically metathesised form cannot occur at the end of a phrase and thus requires the presence of an unmetathesised form to complete it syntactically. (iii) In the discourse an unmetathesised form marks an unresolved event or situation. Such an unmetathesised form cannot occur in isolation and requires a metathesised form to achieve resolution. Metathesis in Amarasi is the central linguistic process around which linguistic structures are organised. Amarasi metatheses also reflect fundamental Timorese notions of societal and cosmic organisation. Alongside weaving and other performed activities, metathesis is an important linguistic marker of identity in a region obsessed with similarities and differences of identity between different groups. The complementarity of Amarasi metathesis and unmetathesis within the syntax and within discourse reflects the Timorese division of the world into a series of mutually dependent binary and complementary pairs. As well as being the key which unlocks the structure of the language, metathesis is also a reflection of the structure of Amarasi society and culture.

description: Handling previously unseen tasks after given only a few training examples continues to be a tough challenge in machine learning. We propose TapNets, neural networks augmented with task-adaptive projection for improved few-shot learning. Here, employing a meta-learning strategy with episode-based training, a network and a set of per-class reference vectors are learned across widely varying tasks. At the same time, for every episode, features in the embedding space are linearly projected into a new space as a form of quick task-specific conditioning. The training loss is obtained based on a distance metric between the query and the reference vectors in the projection space. Excellent generalization results in this way. When tested on the Omniglot, miniImageNet and tieredImageNet datasets, we obtain state of the art classification accuracies under various few-shot scenarios.

description: We report the results of a Monte Carlo study of a model of (III,Mn)V diluted magnetic semiconductors which uses an impurity band description of carriers coupled to localized Mn spins and is applicable for carrier densities below and around the metal-insulator transition. In agreement with mean field studies, we find a transition to a ferromagnetic phase at low temperatures. We compare our results for the magnetic properties with the mean field approximation, as well as with experiments, and find favorable qualitative agreement with the latter. The local Mn magnetization below the Curie temperature is found to be spatially inhomogeneous, and strongly correlated with the local carrier charge density at the Mn sites. The model contains fermions and classical spins and hence we introduce a perturbative Monte Carlo scheme to increase the speed of our simulations.

'From here to modernity' : agricultural reform in Taiwan

Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1989
Subjects: subject: Land reform Taiwan
subject: Agriculture and state Taiwan
subject: Agriculture Economic aspects Taiwan

description: Following implementation of land reform in 1949-53, Taiwan has frequently been presented as a model of agricultural development planning. In 1982, Taiwanese planners announced a Second-stage Agricultural Land Reform to modify this earlier land reform and promote structural change in agriculture. Empirical analysis of the political and planning pressures which produced what many considered to be "merely a slogan" provides insight into the ideologies and operation of Taiwanese bureaucracy and lobby groups; areas which have received little attention from researchers, but are crucial to placing the Taiwan Model in perspective. The Second-stage Agricultural Land Reform (SALR) became an ordering device for existing policies of mechanisation, land consolidation, group, co-operative and entrusted farming, revision of laws pertaining to the first land reform and bankloans for the expansion of farm size. The vague and incremental nature of SALR policy is explicable in terms of historical inertia and weaknesses in the structure of agricultural planning which preclude farmer participation in policy-making. Investigation of the problems confronting rural residents in a southern Taiwan settlement indicated the inability of this policy to bring substantial improvement, as defined in terms of residents’ needs, to even a farming-system to which it appeared entirely suited. Rather, the Hakka farmers of Mei-nung had sought a familial solution to low agricultural returns in which the spatially extended-family functioned as a minature welfare-state. Educated off-spring remitted off-farm wages to dependent parents and, in turn, received child-care and other services, thereby perpetuating what many government planners deem to be an inefficient agricultural structure. The implementation of the SALR in Mei-nung was a mechanistic exercise in physical planning which overlooked the particular ecological and cultural characteristics of the settlement In short, it served only to frustrate farmers who were acutely aware of an agenda for reform: improved marketing, basic welfare guarantees (farmer health insurance and guaranteed prices) and a consistent agricultural policy to be implemented by a powerful farmers’ planning body. This thesis argues that, in the absence of a formal welfare-state, the farming sector is operating as a temporary substitute in Mei-nung, but may not be able to sustain this role much longer. Instead, the transition from familial to ‘modem’ forms of farm management will require that government undertake structural up-grading to adopt modem economic management and planning throughout the economy, as well as instituting a formal welfare support system. The simple conclusion is that the structural reform most needed in Taiwanese agriculture is democratisation of the agricultural planning process to encourage farmer faith in the future of farming.

description: Abstract

The insurance industry has always been crucial to the economy and society’s progress worldwide. In reality, insurance confronts many risks, one of which is Insurance fraud. Insurance fraud is increasing rapidly along with the growth of the insurance sector, which causes serious social and economic issues. The damage caused by insurance fraud has been continuously increasing, making the insurance companies harder to manage. As a result, the insurance premiums have risen, which in turn causes losses to good policyholders. As the world is at the pace of rapid innovation with the emergence of the industry revolution 4.0, the Insurance sector is adopting advanced technology, making many positive changes in the insurance industry with the introduction of Artificial Intelligence. In this study, the authors focus on Systematic Literature (SLR) confined to the reasons insurance fraud happened in various segments, the parties involved in it, its consequences, and also to take preventive measures by adopting AI technology to reduce insurance fraud. The paper focuses on creating an outlook of Insurance fraud from a holistic perspective by interconnecting the issues relating to various insurance areas and finding solutions to mitigate insurance fraud. The findings of this paper make academics conscious of the significant role of technology, including AI and ML modes, in detecting and preventing insurance fraud.
Towards Robust Direction Invariance in Character Animation

description: In character animation, direction invariance is a desirable property. That is, a pose facing north and the same pose facing south are considered the same; a character that can walk to the north is expected to be able to walk to the south in a similar style. To achieve such direction invariance, the current practice is to remove the facing direction's rotation around the vertical axis before further processing. Such a scheme, however, is not robust for rotational behaviors in the sagittal plane. In search of a smooth scheme to achieve direction invariance, we prove that in general a singularity free scheme does not exist. We further connect the problem with the hairy ball theorem, which is better-known to the graphics community. Due to the nonexistence of a singularity free scheme, a general solution does not exist and we propose a remedy by using a properly-chosen motion direction that can avoid singularities for specific motions at hand. We perform comparative studies using two deep-learning based methods, one builds kinematic motion representations and the other learns physics-based controls. The results show that with our robust direction invariant features, both methods can achieve better results in terms of learning speed and/or final quality. We hope this paper can not only boost performance for character animation methods, but also help related communities currently not fully aware of the direction invariance problem to achieve more robust results.

Hydrological and hydraulic modelling of runoff-producing areas in small rural catchments

Subjects: subject: Hydrologic models

description: Runoff processes and contributing areas have been investigated using hydrological and hydraulic models formulated on different scales. Procedures developed for modelling runoff-producing areas in small catchments are presented in three major sections: Hydraulic models for runoff processes on a hillslope scale: analytical solutions to equations of groundwater flow on an inclined impervious base subject to time-varying recharge have been obtained using triple mathematical transforms. Analytical solutions have also been obtained for the recharge rate and loss rate. Using the computed recharge processes based on readings of watertable, runoff patterns, namely infiltration excess or saturation excess, can be distinguished at particular locations by comparing the peak times of stream discharge and recharge rates with respect to timing of rainfall. Analytical expressions for saturation zones on hillslopes have also been obtained. It has been shown that the variations of the recharge rate and saturated zones have the same geometric shape, indicating the role of recharge in reshaping groundwater. It has been shown that seven factors affecting the saturation zones or seepage face are: (1) the recharge rate; (2) the porosity of soil; (3) the transmissivity of the medium; (4) the depth of the soil; (5) the gradient of the land; (6) the gradient of the impervious layer; and (7) the initial depth of the watertable. Hydrograph analysis on a catchment scale: new parameters and standards based on hydraulic and hydrological principles have been defined for hydrographic geometry on a catchment scale. By definition, a hydrograph consists of overland flow and baseflow, and a hydrograph of baseflow is further divided into two parts, the rising and recession limbs, each represented by a hydrological model. The time of concentration of overland flow is used as a criterion for timing the end of surface flow. It is proposed and verified that the baseflow peaks and the overland flow ceases after the overland flow travel time of the 'last drop of rain'. Then, the lag time of the baseflow with respect to rainfall or total stream runoff can be derived. Individual and complex hydrographs can be separated into baseflow and overland flow using the models. Unit hydrograph theory has been extended to baseflow hydrographs which yields reasonable results. Models for runoff producing areas on a catchment scale: an improved isochrone model for saturation excess from a catchment is used to derive procedures for assessing the areas producing saturation runoff. It is simple enough for practical use. Overland flow separated from the hydrographs has been input into this model to yield the areas generating overland flow. Geomorphological approaches have been developed for dynamic stream networks which allow the saturation areas of a catchment to be evaluated and mapped.

We estimate how rates are affected by uncertainties on key stellar-physics parameters, namely common envelope evolution and natal kicks. We estimate how future upgrades will increase the size of the available catalog of merger events, and we discuss features of the merger rate density that will become accessible with third-generation detectors.

description: A new result for the pion nucleon Sigma term from a George Washington University/TRIUMF group analysis of pion nucleon data is presented. The value Sigma=79$\pm$7 MeV was obtained, compared to the canonical value 64$\pm$8 MeV found by Koch. The difference is explained simply by the PSI pionic hydrogen value for a(pi -p), the latest results for the $πNN$ coupling onstant, and a narrower Delta resonance. Many systematic effects have been investigated, including Coulomb corrections, and database changes, and our results are found to be robust. In the standard interpretation, our value of Sigma implies a nucleon strangeness fraction y/2~0.23. The implausibility of such a large strange component suggests that the relationship between Sigma and nucleon strangeness ought to be re-examined.

Leveraging Electron-Phonon Interaction to Enhance Thermoelectric Power Factor in Graphene-Like Semimetals

description: Electron-phonon interaction (EPI) is presumably detrimental for thermoelectric performance in semiconductors because it limits carrier mobility. Here we show that enhanced EPI with strong energy dependence offers an intrinsic pathway to significant increase in the Seebeck coefficient and the thermoelectric power factor, particularly in the context of two-dimensional (2D) graphene-like Dirac bands. The increase is realized by enabling electron energy filtering through preferential scattering of electron/hole carriers. We prove this concept by implementing state-of-the-art first-principles computational methods with explicit treatment of EPI for a 2D gapless MoS$_{2}$ allotrope, which has both massless Dirac bands and a heavy-fermion state that acts as the filter. We determine that the optimal location of the heavy state and hence the onset of the filtering process is at the Dirac point. Our study opens a new avenue for attaining ultrahigh power factors via engineering the EPI in graphene-like semimetals or identifying new compounds that intrinsically possess the featured electronic structure.

Limatambo in late prehistory : landscape archaeology and documentary images of Inca presence in the periphery of Cusco

description: This study combines the results of surface archaeological survey and early historic documentary information to examine the expansion of the Inca polity and its interaction with local socio-economic systems in the Apurimac Basin near Limatambo from about AD 1000 to the arrival of the Spaniards in Cusco during 1533. The respective roles and limitations of the two sources of information are discussed and give rise to the organization of chapters in four groups. Chapters 1 to 3 discuss the modes and degrees of Inca presence throughout the Andes and their measurement for comparison with the circum-Cusco region. The system of site survey, environmental background of the study region and the late prehistoric archaeology of surrounding areas are examined in greater detail to enable inferences of site function and dating. Chapters 4 and 5 describe recorded archaeological sites of late prehistory and present detailed measurements and maps of large prehistoric terrace sites which enable their systematic internal analysis. Ethnohistoric information is synthesized in Chapters 6 and 7 and the appendices include transcriptions of previously unpublished 16th Century title records. The attachment of the social data they contain to specific landscapes supports the inference of an intricate variety of Inca-local relations at the end of prehistory that is not apparent in the standard chronicles. The final chapters use two different approaches to assess current propositions about the nature of Inca expansion which have been largely derived for this area from documentary generalizations. Chapter 8 employs archaeological data in a landscape model to infer site function and to compare parameters which may have affected the choice of site location. It assumes that the distribution of settlements and of energy inputs in terrace construction are measures of Inca and local-level interest in different Limatambo environments during late prehistory. Chapter 9 uses documentary data to elaborate a social hypothesis to explain the recorded variation in Inca terrace schemes and Chapter 10 is a similar analysis of mountain-summit Inca sites in the study region. Available comparative data suggest that the distribution patterns of such sites in Limatambo are part of a wider phenomenon near Cusco and provide a basis for comparison of the centre of Inca state formation with greater Tawantinsuyu.

description: This thesis examines the life and times of D'Arcy Wentworth. Born in 1762 in Portadown, Ireland, he attended a local school, trained as a doctor in Tanderagee and moved to England in 1785 to further his medical studies. While in London, Wentworth appeared at the Old Bailey charged with highway robbery. Although acquitted, he saw no future by remaining in England. With the help of his family and friends, he secured a berth on the Neptune In 1790 and sailed for the penal colony of New South Wales. For Wentworth, this land of exiles was to become a land of opportunity, but the road was not easy. He encountered the prejudice, factionalism and petty-mindedness of a small and insular community. At times it seemed as if he would succumb to despondency, or bow to the caprices of his fellow colonists. On a number of occasions he threatened to return home. Yet he remained in the colony and, with quiet determination, set about making good. Wentworth stands out as one of the few officers who served almost continuously from the time of Governor Phillip, through the troubled administrations of Hunter, King and Bligh, to those of Macquarie and Brisbane. During the years from 1790 to 1827 he weathered financial setbacks, personal attacks and political Intrigue. With time he managed to redeem his name, win the respect and admiration of many colonists, and acquire vast estates. He also made a significant contribution to the economic growth and development of the settlement, assisting in its transition from a prison to a self-sufficient and relatively prosperous colony which enjoyed a measure of freedom. In this biographical study I have endeavoured to examine Wentworth’s character and actions in the context of the people and the events that surrounded him in an attempt to explain what he thought and did, and why he was as he was.

description: In this work, we have investigated a number of unsupervised learning methods for material segmentation in projection x-ray imaging with a spectral detector. A phantom containing two hard materials (glass, steel) and three soft materials (PVC, polypropylene, and PFTE) all embedded in PMMA was imaged with a 5 energy bin spectal detector. The projection images were utilized to test nine unsupervised learning algorithms for automated material segmentation. Each algorithm was investigated using single energy (SE), dual energy (DE) and multi energy (ME) images. Clustering results were scored based on homogeneity and completeness of the clusters, which were combined into the Rosenberg and Hirshberg's V-measure. Principle component analysis (PCA), independent component analysis (ICA), and non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) were tested as dimensional reduction methods. ME, DE and SE material segmentation was performed using five, two, and single energy images, respectively. ME had the highest V-measure on the soft materials using PCA and a novel interpolating bayesian gaussian mixture model (BGMM) clustering with a V-measure of 0.71. This was by 3.5% better than DE and 20.3% better than SE. Conversely, SE imaging was most capable of hard tissue segmentation using the standard BGMM, with a V-measures of 0.84. This was 6.3% better than DE and 5.0% better than ME. This work demonstrated that ME x-ray imaging might be superior in segmenting soft tissues compared to conventional SE x-ray imaging.

The Onset of Anisotropic Transport of Two-Dimensional Electrons in High Landau Levels: An Isotropic-to-Nematic Liquid Crystal Phase Transition?

description: The recently discovered anisotropy of the longitudinal resistance of two-dimensional electrons near half filling of high Landau levels is found to persist to much higher temperatures T when a large in-plane magnetic field B|| is applied. Under these conditions we find that the longitudinal resistivity scales quasi-linearly with B||/T. These observations support the notion that the onset of anisotropy at B||=0 does not reflect the spontaneous development of charge density modulations but may instead signal an isotropic-to-nematic liquid crystal phase transition.

description: This Thesis presents an account of the geology of the Lower Proterozoic rocks which occupy the Pine Creek Geosyncline, and attempts to trace the evolution of the geosyncline by a reconstruction of the sequence of deposition of the sediments; by relating different facies assemblages to structural units developed in the geosynolinal tract; and by a brief consideration of the igneous rocks, which, together with the sediments, make up the geosynclinal pile. The geosyncline is discussed as a unit within the structural framework of North-western Australia, which, for the purpose of this Thesis, is taken as the area shown on Plate 6. The thesis is divided into three parts: Part 1 is descriptive and deals with the stratigraphy of the Lower Proterozoic rocks of the geosyncline, with brief descriptions of the igneous rocks. Rock units of other ages in the area are noted but not described. Part 2 is interpretative and traces the evolution of the geosyncline. Some repetition of material presented in the first section has been found necessary here in order to maintain the continuity of the discussion. Part 3 offers a new reconstruction of the Precambrian framework of North-western Australia in order to explain further the tectonic style and sedimentation pattern of the Pine Creek Geosyncline.

description: We discuss the mass spectrum and strong decays of baryon resonances belonging to the N, Delta, Sigma, Lambda, Xi and Omega families in a collective string-like model for the nucleon. We find good overall agreement with the available data. Systematic discrepancies are found for lowlying S-wave states, in particular in the strong decays of N(1535), N(1650), Sigma(1750), Lambda(1405), Lambda(1670) and Lambda(1800).

description: Sydney was founded as a penal settlement on 26 January 1788. Captain Arthur Phillip with his eleven ships had arrived in Botany Bay some days earlier, but finding its shores generally unsuitable for a settlement decided to examine Port Jackson a few miles to the north. Here, on the southern shore of one of the finest natural harbours in the world, at the head of a small cove "near the run of fresh water", a thousand officers, marines, convicts, women and children disembarked, encamped, and began the painful struggle to subsist where previously only stone-age aboriginals lived. The new settlers had abundant supplies of fresh water, fish, game, timber, clay, and building-stone and these together with certain supplies and raw materials brought from England constituted the basic resources of the infant economy.

description: We systematically study VEVs of a gauge scalar field $Σ$ in a bulk U(1) vector multiplet and scalar fields in brane/bulk hypermultiplets charged under U(1) in the 5D $S^1/Z_2$ orbifold model with generic FI terms. A non-trivial VEV of $Σ$ generates bulk mass terms for U(1) charged fields, and their zero modes have non-trivial profiles. In particular, in the SUSY-breaking case, bosonic and fermionic zero modes have Gaussian profiles. Such non-trivial profiles are useful to explain hierarchical couplings. A toy model for SUSY breaking is studied, and it yields sizable $D$-term contributions to scalar masses. Because the overall magnitude of $D$-term contributions is the same everywhere in the bulk and also on both branes, we have to take into account these contributions and other SUSY-breaking terms to obtain a realistic description. We also give profiles and mass eigenvalues of higher modes.

Power and Packet Rate Control for Vehicular Networks in Multi-Application Scenarios

description: Vehicular networks require vehicles to periodically transmit 1-hop broadcast packets in order to detect other vehicles in their local neighborhood. Many vehicular applications depend on the correct reception of these packets that are transmitted on a common control channel. Vehicles will actually be required to simultaneously execute multiple applications. The transmission of the broadcast packets should hence be configured to satisfy the requirements of all applications while controlling the channel load. This can be challenging when vehicles simultaneously run multiple applications, and each application has different requirements that vary with the vehicular context (e.g. speed and density). In this context, this paper proposes and evaluates different techniques to dynamically adapt the rate and power of 1-hop broadcast packets per vehicle in multi-application scenarios. The proposed techniques are designed to satisfy the requirements of multiple simultaneous applications and reduce the channel load. The evaluation shows that the proposed techniques significantly decrease the channel load, and can better satisfy the requirements of multiple applications compared to existing approaches, in particular the Message Handler specified in the SAE J2735 DSRC Message Set Dictionary.
Is a Large Intrinsic k_T Needed to Describe Photon + Jet Photoproduction at HERA?

description: We study the photoproduction of an isolated photon and a jet based on a code of partonic event generator type which includes the full set of next-to-leading order corrections. We compare our results to a recent ZEUS analysis in which an effective k_T of the incoming partons has been determined. We find that no additional intrinsic k_T is needed to describe the data.

description: It is shown that the application of sufficiently strong magnetic field to the odd-frequency paired Pair Density Wave state described in Phys. Rev. B 94, 165114 (2016) leads to formation of a low temperature metallic state with zero Hall response. Applications of these ideas to the recent experiments on stripe-ordered La_{1.875}Ba_{0.125}CuO_4 are discussed.
