description: We present preliminary results on the computation of the QCD running coupling constant in the $\widetilde{MOM}$ scheme and Landau gauge with two flavours of dynamical Wilson quarks. Gluon momenta range up to about 7 GeV ($β=$ 5.6, 5.8 and 6.0) with a constant dynamical-quark mass. This range already allows to exhibit some evidence for a sizable $1/μ^2$ correction to the asymptotic behaviour, as in the quenched approximation, although a fit without power corrections is still possible with a reasonable $χ^2$. Following the conclusions of our quenched study, we take into account $1/μ^2$ correction to the asymptotic behaviour. We find $Λ_{\rm \bar{MS}}^{N_f=2} = 264(27) {\rm MeV} \times [{a^{-1}(5.6,0.1560)}/{2.19 {\rm GeV}}] $, which leads to $α_s(M_Z) = 0.113(3)(4)$. The latter result has to be taken as a preliminary indication rather than a real prediction in view of the systematic errors still to be controlled. Still, being two sigmas below the experimental result makes it very encouraging.

description: Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) bare large Berry curvature hotspots readily exploitable for geometric band effects. Tailoring and enhancement of these features via strain is an active research direction. Here, we consider spinless two- and three-band, and spinful four-band models capable to quantify Berry curvature and orbital magnetic moment of strained TMDs. First, we provide a $k\cdot p$ parameter set for MoS$_2$, MoSe$_2$, WS$_2$, and WSe$_2$ in the light of the recently released ab initio and experimental band properties. Its validity range extends from $K$ valley edge to about hundred millielectron volts into valence and conduction bands for these TMDs. To expand this over a larger part of the Brillouin zone, we incorporate strain to an available three-band tight-binding Hamiltonian. With these techniques we demonstrate that both the Berry curvature and the orbital magnetic moment can be doubled compared to their intrinsic values by applying typically a 2.5% biaxial tensile strain. These simple band structure tools can find application in the quantitative device modeling of the geometric band effects in strained monolayer TMDs.

International borrowing for resource extraction

Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1975
Subjects: subject: Investments, Foreign
subject: Natural resources

description: This is a theoretical study of some basic aspects of foreign investment (and foreign borrowing) and natural resource exploitation. Our emphasis is on optimal planning and regulation but the consequences of the lack of social interventions are also pointed out. Whether a community should plan for more or less consumption for future generations depends not only on its rate of time preference but also the cost of foreign borrowing. It also is warned that even for a small country, the Fisher Separation Theorem - separating production decisions from financing decisions - may not apply when natural resources have aesthetic values not reflected in market prices. The problems of efficient allocation of resources over time and distribution of gains between the home country and foreign investors received particular attention. Optimal fiscal mixes (in particular, tax on foreign capital and royalty) are derived under various assumptions about the behaviour of firms. Conditions under which the usual static optimal tax on foreign capital must be modified are identified. It is shown that foreign investors may react adversely to the risk of nationalization and that resources may be exhausted too quickly as a consequence. There is also another argument for more conservation : the country may obtain better information as events are observed, causing a revision of expectations. The irreversibility of resource depletion calls for more caution in this case. The optimal behaviour of a risk neutral community exhibits properties akin to risk aversion under these circumstances. Under uncertainty, the optimal allocation of natural resources between the domestic and the foreign sectors depends on the community's attitudes to risk. Not only primary characteristics of the community's utility function - such as risk aversion or risk preference - but also secondary properties such as the measures of relative and absolute risk aversion play important roles in the determination of the optimal amount of foreign investment in natural resources.

description: In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with bilinear R-Parity violation, terms that violate R-Parity and lepton number are introduced in the superpotential, and sneutrino vacuum expectation values are induced. As a result, neutrino masses and mixing angles are generated via a low energy see-saw mechanism. We show that this model embedded into an anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking scenario is testable at a linear collider using charged Higgs boson production in association with a stau. This is possible in regions of parameter space where the charged Higgs and stau have similar mass, producing an enhancement of the charged scalar mixing angles. We show that the bilinear parameter and the sneutrino vev can be determined from charged scalar observables, and estimate the precision of this determination.

Social inequality in Australia : measurement and theory

Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1975
Subjects: subject: Social classes Australia

description: The debate between functional-structural and conflict theorists ,summarized in terms of its most salient issues, and an alternate theoretical and operational model is proposed from a conflict perspective. Ratings of occupations from a nationwide sample of doctors, lawyers, teachers and social workers are transformed into an occupational prestige scale of 204 titles. Ratings are highly reliable and scores are consistent with previous observations in Australia and elsewhere. In terms of prestige distribution the Australian work force assumes the shape of an extended pyramid, and social inequalities are consistent with observed inequalities of economic class. Australian census data are used to estimate for detailed census categories economic class scores which are then regressed together with other census data on 166 prestige scores to calculate a Duncan type prestige index. In the case of economic class four predictors account for a greater proportion of variance than five predictors in the case of the prestige index. But according to statistical indicators, the prestige index compares favorably with similar indexes by Duncan (1961) and Williams (1971). Sources of economic class and social inequality are not directly identified by predictors. However, consistent with the theoretical and operational model, predictors draw attention to systematic social restrictions in Australian recruitment patterns and demographic concomitants of cumulative disadvantages.

description: In this thesis I describe two key symbols of Vietnamese ethnic identity in Canberra, namely flag and family where flag represents the Vietnamese love of homeland and commitment to continue the struggle for freedom, and family relations between kin based on generosity and reciprocity coupled with unquestioned authority and respect for elders. These are markers of ethnic distinctiveness deployed by Vietnamese to distinguish themselves from the Anglo-Celtic majority and other minority groups arriving in Australia from Indochina. I examine how the collective and particularistic aspects of both are worked out through the commercial production and presentation of food - an "authentic" cultural product - marketed by Vietnamese restauranteurs in an Australian context.
Respectability and working-class radicalism in Victorian London: 1850-1890 : a contribution to the debate

Year: 1975
Subjects: subject: Working class 19th centuryEngland London

description: The most repulsive thing here is the bourgeois 'respectability' bred into the bones of the workers. The social division of society into innumerable gradations, each recognised without question, each with its own pride but also its inborn respect for its 'betters' and 'superiors', is so old and firmly established that the bourgeois still find it pretty easy to get their bait accepted . Throughout his acquaintance with Britain Engels was worried by the growth of respectability in the working classes. His concern provided the starting point of the debate over the meaning and significance of respectability in working-class life and politics. From such perceptions Marxist thinkers developed the theory of the Labour Aristocracy - a theory which still underwrites much Marxist and non-Marxist historical, inquiry. The values encapsulated in the notion of respectability were equated with the values of bourgeois capitalism. Roughly, the theory maintained that the leadership of the working class - the skilled worker and trade union ~lite - capitulated to bourgeois values and developed false consciousness. This false consciousness largely explained the failure of the British working class to reach Marxist revolutionary class consciousness .

description: Evidence for neutrino oscillations is pointing to the existence of tiny but finite neutrino masses. Such masses may be naturally generated via radiative corrections in models such as the Zee model where a singlet Zee-scalar plays a key role. We minimally extend the Zee model by including a right-handed singlet neutrino ν_R. The radiative Zee-mechanism can be protected by a simple U(1)_X symmetry involving only the ν_R and a Zee-scalar. We further construct a class of models with a single horizontal U(1)_FN (a la Frogatt-Nielsen) such that the mass patterns of the neutrinos and leptons are naturally explained. We then analyze the muon anomalous magnetic moment (g-2) and the flavor changing μ--> eγdecay. The ν_R interaction in our minimal extension is found to induce the BNL g-2 anomaly, with a light charged Zee-scalar of mass 100-300 GeV.

description: Geostatistical modeling for continuous point-referenced data has been extensively applied to neuroimaging because it produces efficient and valid statistical inference. However, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), a neuroimaging characterizing the brain structure produces a positive definite (p.d.) matrix for each voxel. Current geostatistical modeling has not been extended to p.d. matrices because introducing spatial dependence among positive definite matrices properly is challenging. In this paper, we use the spatial Wishart process, a spatial stochastic process (random field) where each p.d. matrix-variate marginally follows a Wishart distribution, and spatial dependence between random matrices is induced by latent Gaussian processes. This process is valid on an uncountable collection of spatial locations and is almost surely continuous, leading to a reasonable means of modeling spatial dependence. Motivated by a DTI dataset of cocaine users, we propose a spatial matrix-variate regression model based on the spatial Wishart process. A problematic issue is that the spatial Wishart process has no closed-form density function. Hence, we propose approximation methods to obtain a feasible working model. A local likelihood approximation method is also applied to achieve fast computation. The simulation studies and real data analysis demonstrate that the working model produces reliable inference and improved performance compared to other methods.

description: The use of finitely parametrized linear models such as ARMA models in analysing time series data has been extensively studied and in recent years there has been an increasing emphasis on the development of fast regression—based algorithms for the problem of model identification. In this thesis we investigate the statistical properties of pseudo—linear regression algorithms in the context of off-line and online (real-time) identification. A review of these procedures is presented in Part I in relation to the problem of identifying an appropriate ARMA model from observed time series data. Thus, criteria introduced by Akaike and Rissanen are important here to ensure a model of sufficient complexity is selected, based on the data. In chapter 1 we survey published results pertaining to the statistical properties of identification procedures in the off-line context and show there are important differences as concerns the asymptotic performance of certain parameter estimation algorithms. However, to effect the identification process in real-time recursive estimation algorithms are required. Furthermore, these procedures need to be adaptive to be applicable in practice. This is discussed in chapter 2. Technical results and limit theorems required for the theoretical analysis conducted in Part II are collated in chapter 3. Chapters 4 and 5 of Part II are therefore devoted to the detailed investigation of particular algorithms discussed in Part I. Chapter 4 deals with off-line parameter estimation algorithms and in chapter 5, the important idea of a Description Length Principle introduced by Rissanen, is examined in the context of the recursive estimation of autoregressions. Empirical evidence from simulation experiments are also reported in each chapter and in chapter 5, aspects of speech analysis are incorporated in the simulation study. The simulation results bear out the theory and the proofs of asymptotic results are given at the end of the chapters

description: While recent NAS algorithms are thousands of times faster than the pioneering works, it is often overlooked that they use fewer candidate operations, resulting in a significantly smaller search space. We present PR-DARTS, a NAS algorithm that discovers strong network configurations in a much larger search space and a single day. A small candidate operation pool is used, from which candidates are progressively pruned and replaced with better performing ones. Experiments on CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100 achieve 2.51% and 15.53% test error, respectively, despite searching in a space where each cell has 150 times as many possible configurations than in the DARTS baseline.

description: Using 1983 National Demographic Survey (NDS) data on currently married women and been married only once, this study examines childspacing differentials among Filipino women utilizing life table techniques. In particular, the subsequent birth from parity 1 to parity 5 are examined in relation to women's current place of residence, education, contraceptive use, experience of infant mortality and current age. Examination shows that in Metro Manila and other urban areas, the proportion of women having subsequent birth tended to decline faster after the second birth. In rural areas, the proportion of women having subsequent birth from parity 1 to parity 5 shows only a slight tendency to decline. Compared with rural women, women in Metro Manila and other urban areas have longer birth intervals after the second birth. Younger women have second births sooner but a smaller proportion have subsequent births and they have longer birth intervals at third and higher births than older women. This manifests changing attitudes towards reproductive behaviour among Filipino women. Results of the analysis confirm the negative effect of education on fertility. Women of higher education exhibit a lower proportion having subsequent births and longer birth intervals after the second birth than women of lesser education. The effect of women's experience of contraceptive use on the quantum and timing of fertility is observed to operate more at the higher parities. In other urban and rural areas, the proportion of ever-users of contraception having further births is lower than for never-users after the second birth but after the third birth in Metro Manila. The study gives further empirical evidence of the effect of infant mortality on fertility behaviour. For each birth order the death of the previous child within the first year of life tended to increase the proportion of women having a subsequent birth, and shortened the average intervals between births.

description: Based on the covariant variation formalism, two versions of the symmetric effective stress-energy tensor of the electromagnetic field in a dynamo-optically active relativistic media are reconstructed in the framework of the tetrad and aether paradigms, respectively. We show that the energy density scalars and pressure tensors coincide for both versions of the stress-energy tensors, however, the corresponding energy flux four-vectors happen to be different in general case. This mathematical fact adds new arguments into the 100-year-long discussion, which is called Minkowski-Abraham controversy and is connected with the correct definition of the electromagnetic energy flux in a continuous media. We consider three examples: first, the axionically active vacuum; second, the spatially isotropic moving dielectric medium; third, the dynamo-optically active medium. We discuss possible applications of the elaborated formalism.

description: In quantum transport through nanoscale devices, fluctuations arise from various sources: the discreteness of charge carriers, the statistical non-equilibrium that is required for device operation, and unavoidable quantum uncertainty. As experimental techniques have improved over the last decade, measurements of these fluctuations have become available.} They have been accompanied by a plethora of theoretical literature using many different fluctuation statistics to describe the quantum transport. In this paper, we overview three prominent fluctuation statistics: full counting, waiting time, and first-passage time statistics. We discuss their weaknesses and strengths, and explain connections between them in terms of renewal theory. In particular, we discuss how different information can be encoded in different statistics when the transport is non-renewal, and how this behavior manifests in the measured physical quantities of open quantum systems. All theoretical results are illustrated via a demonstrative transport scenario: a Markovian master equation for a molecular electronic junction with electron-phonon interactions. {{} We demonstrate that to obtain non-renewal behavior, and thus to have temporal correlations between successive electron tunneling events, there must be a strong coupling between tunneling electrons and out-of-equilibrium quantized molecular vibrations.

By embedding the known rotating string solution of the 2-derivative theory into 6-dimensional off-shell supergravity, the Killing spinors associated with the underlying supersymmetry can be made off-shell and are universal to all off-shell supergravity models based on the same field content. The near-horizon geometry is S^3 fibred over the extremal BTZ black hole, locally isomorphic to AdS_3*S^3. We compute the higher-derivative corrections to the Brown-Henneaux central charges in a particular R+R^2 model resulting from K3 compactification of type IIA string theory.

Education and labour force in Central Java

description: This study deals with education and the labour force in the province of Central Java, Indonesia. The relationship between education and the labour force includes several issues, such as education as investment in human capital to prepare qualified skills, the economic capacity to absorb educated people and the manpower policy to adjust demand for and supply of manpower. In this study, the relationship between education and the labour force has been viewed in this light. The primary source of data on education and the labour force was the 1980 census. The 1971 census, the 1976 Labour Force Survey, the 1985 Intercensal Population Survey and Jawa Tengah Dalam Angka (Central Java Year Books) were selected as the complements. The manpower policy data were obtained from the Repelita (Five Year Development Plans). The educational policy in Central Java, in terms of the quantity, has been succesful during the period 1971 to 1985, and resulted in rapid growth of educated labour force. Meanwhile, the economic policy on economic growth has also been succesful, but it has offered only limited employment growth and consequently resulted in unemployment. The unemployment rate among educated people (secondary and tertiary graduates) was higher than among the less educated people (primary graduates and below). The educational policy is producing graduates to achieve the desirable labour force pyramid, while the current economic difficulties will narrow employment growth in the future. According to employment projections, the increasing unemployment rate among secondary graduates, which began during 1980-1985, is likely to continue in the future. The government has established pre-employment training for the period 1984- 1989, which is excessive compared with the additional employment opportunities for that period, while the number of pre-employment training programs for secondary graduates is inadequate. Educated people who are unemployed are likely to move to lower occupations and consequently improve the quality of labour force in lower occupations.

description: Within $Λ$CDM, dwarf galaxies like the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) are expected to host numerous dark matter subhalos, several of which should host faint dwarf companions. Recent Gaia proper motions confirm new members of the LMC-system in addition to the previously known SMC, including two classical dwarf galaxies ($M_\ast$ > $10^5$ M$_{\odot}$; Carina and Fornax) as well as several ultra-faint dwarfs (Car2, Car3, Hor1, and Hyd1). We use the Feedback In Realistic Environments (FIRE) simulations to study the dark and luminous (down to ultrafaint masses, $M_\ast$ ~ $6\times10^3$ M$_{\odot}$) substructure population of isolated LMC-mass hosts ($M_\text{200}$ = $1-3\times10^{11}$ M$_{\odot}$) and place the Gaia + DES results in a cosmological context. By comparing number counts of subhalos in simulations with and without baryons, we find that, within 0.2 $r_\text{200}$, LMC-mass hosts deplete ~30% of their substructure, significantly lower than the ~70% of substructure depleted by Milky Way (MW) mass hosts. For our highest resolution runs ($m_\text{bary}$ = 880 M$_{\odot}$), ~5-10 subhalos form galaxies with $M_\ast$ > $10^4$ M$_{\odot}$, in agreement with the 7 observationally inferred pre-infall LMC companions. However, we find steeper simulated luminosity functions than observed, hinting at observation incompleteness at the faint end. The predicted DM content for classical satellites in FIRE agrees with observed estimates for Carina and Fornax, supporting the case for an LMC association. We predict that tidal stripping within the LMC potential lowers the inner dark matter density of ultra faint companions of the LMC. Thus, in addition to their orbital consistency, the low densities of dwarfs Car2, Hyd1, and Hyd2 reinforce their likelihood of Magellanic association.

description: We show that $ω_B$ or $ω_{\bar B}$, the squared baryon or antibaryon number fluctuation per baryon or antibaryon, is a possible signature for the quark-gluon plasma that is expected to be created in relativistic heavy ion collisions, as it is a factor of three smaller than in an equilibrated hadronic matter due to the fractional baryon number of quarks. Using kinetic equations with exact baryon number conservation, we find that their values in an equilibrated matter are half of those expected from a Poisson distribution. Effects due to finite acceptance and non-zero net baryon number are also studied.

description: We discuss the effects of hydrostatic pressure on the superconducting properties of MgB$_{2}$ within the framework of Eliashberg theory. By considering the pressure dependences of all parameters appearing in the McMillan formula, we show that the calculated pressure derivative of $T_{c}$ as well as the variation of $T_{c}$ with pressure are in good agreement with recent measurements. The pressure dependences of the energy gap $Δ_{0}$, the effective interaction strength $N(E_{F})v$, the critical magnetic field $H_{c}(0)$, and the electronic specific heat coefficient $γ$ are also predicted for this system. A comparison of pressure effect in non-transition elements clearly suggests that MgB$_{2}$ is an electron-phonon mediated superconductor.

title: Impact of Snow Accumulation on Structural Integrity: Present and Future Perspectives
Creators: name: Pomeyie, Kenneth K.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2024

description: In the United States, accommodating the weight of accumulated snow on buildings is a crucial consideration in building design. Engineers are tasked with determining the design snow load, which is defined as the weight of accumulated snow that a structure should withstand to limit the risk of building collapse to an acceptably low level. Typically, this process involves analyzing historical data of the annual maximum snow accumulations for each snow season. However, accurately assessing these design snow loads entails navigating through a series of statistical challenges. This dissertation, composed of three papers, is dedicated to addressing these statistical hurdles in the estimation of design snow loads. The first paper compares various methods for calculating design snow loads, focusing particularly on short-term snow accumulation events. This is highly relevant for structures like solar panels, which melt snow faster than the roofs of buildings. The second paper addresses the issue of underestimated design snow loads for buildings. This underestimation is a result of employing imputed snow data from statistical models in place of missing snow data. In the third paper, we take a forward-looking approach by accounting for the effect of climate change on snow load design. Taken together, these three papers outline improved methods for characterizing extreme snow accumulations and handling the statistical challenges associated with several steps in the design snow load estimation process.
Constraint on the maximum mass of neutron stars using GW170817 event

description: We revisit the constraint on the maximum mass of cold spherical neutron stars coming from the observational results of GW170817. We develop a new framework for the analysis by employing both energy and angular momentum conservation laws as well as solid results of latest numerical-relativity simulations and of neutron stars in equilibrium. The new analysis shows that the maximum mass of cold spherical neutron stars can be only weakly constrained as $M_{\rm max} \alt 2.3M_\odot$. Our present result illustrates that the merger remnant neutron star at the onset of collapse to a black hole is not necessarily rapidly rotating and shows that we have to take into account the angular momentum conservation law to impose the constraint on the maximum mass of neutron stars.

description: The masses of the negative parity 70-plet baryons are analyzed in large N_c QCD to order 1/N_c and to first order in SU(3) symmetry breaking. The existing experimental data are well reproduced and twenty new observables are predicted. The leading order SU(6) spin-flavor symmetry breaking is small and, as it occurs in the quark model, the subleading in 1/N_c hyperfine interaction is the dominant source of the breaking. It is found that the Lambda(1405) and Lambda(1520) are well described as three-quark states and spin-orbit partners. New relations between splittings in different SU(3) multiplets are found.

A study of fertility and child mortality in Illubabor and Wollo, Rural Ethiopia
Creators: name: Tekle, Alemtsehay
Publisher: name: Canberra, ACT : The Australian National University
Year: 1988
Subjects: subject: Fertility, Human Ethiopia
subject: Children MortalityEthiopia

description: This study examines fertility and child mortality differences among the social groups in Illubabor and Wollo regions based on the 1981 Rural Demography Survey. Sub-regional differences in fertility level and child mortality rates and the effect of childlessness on fertility are also considered. However, due to the nature of the survey and its inherent data problems it was not possible to explain fully and produce evidences at a conclusive level. Some variations in mean number of children ever born were observed among the social groups in both regions. In addition, in most social groups childlessness was found to be inversely related with fertility. However, the results of this study for religion and ethno-religious groups were different from the results of other studies in other regions of Ethiopia that found statistically higher fertility level for Muslims and Oromo-Muslims. As for child mortality the differences observed were not consistent. Most of the variations among the social groups were found not to be significant, especially in the case of Wollo.

description: We construct the first three family N=1 supersymmetric string model with Standard Model gauge group SU(3)_C x SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y from an orientifold of type IIA theory on T^6/(Z_2 x Z_2) and D6-branes intersecting at angles. In addition to the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model particles, the model contains right-handed neutrinos, a chiral (but anomaly-free) set of exotic multiplets, and extra vector-like multiplets. We discuss some phenomenological features of this model.

description: Ground-based astronomy has to correct astronomical observations from the impact of the atmospheric transparency and its variability.The current objective of several observatories is to achieve a sub-percent level monitoring of atmospheric transmission. A promising approach has been to combine internal calibration of the observations with various external meteorological data sources, upon avail-ability and depending on quality. In this paper we investigate the use of the NASA Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications, version 2 (MERRA-2) which is a general circulation model (GCM) and data assimilation system that renders freely available for any given site, at any time, all the parameters constraining atmospheric transmission. This paper demonstrates the extraction of the relevant atmospheric parameters for optical astronomy at two sites: Mauna Kea in Hawaii and Cerro Tololo InternationalObservatory in Chile. The temporal variability for the past eight years (annual, overnight and hourly), as well as the spatial gradients of ozone, precipitable water vapor, and aerosol optical depth is presented and their respective impacts on the atmospheric transparency is analyzed.

QCD effective action with dressing functions - consistency checks in the perturbative regime

description: In a previous paper, we presented solution to the Slavnov--Taylor identity for the QCD effective action, and argued that the action terms containing (anti)ghost fields are unique. These terms have the same form as those in the classical action, but the gluon and (anti)ghost effective fields are convoluted with gluon and ghost dressing functions G_A and G_c, the latter containing perturbative and nonperturbative effects (but not including the soliton-like vacuum effects). In the present work we show how the perturbative QCD (pQCD) can be incorporated into the framework of this action, and we present explicit one-loop pQCD expressions for G_A and G_c. We then go on to check the consistency of the obtained results by considering an antighost Dyson--Schwinger equation (DSE). By solving the relations that result from the Legendre transformation leading to the effective action, we obtain the effective fields as power expansions of sources. We check explicitly that the aforementioned one-loop functions G_A and G_c fulfil the antighost DSE at the linear source level. We further explicitly check that these one-loop G_A and G_c have the regularization-scale and momentum dependence consistent with the antighost DSE at the quadratic source level. These checks suggest that the the effective action with dressing functions represents a consistent framework for treating QCD, at least at the one-loop level.
