Sources of the ACTU's Authority : a case study
Creators: name: Pilkinton, Garth
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1986
Subjects: subject: Australian Council of Trade Unions
subject: Labor unions Australia
subject: Mediation and conciliation, Industrial Australia

description: While the ACTU often occupies centre stage in Australian industrial J political and economic life, the ACTU's inodus operandi and the roles it performs are not uuell understood. The ACTU is an intermediary organisation: ACTU officers and other executive members mediate between the ACTU's affiliated unions and state branches., on the one hand, and significant outside actors like the Government, the Conciliation and Arbitration Commission, employers and international organisations, such as the ILO, on the- other. Using a role oriented-model developed during the case study, relationships between the ACTU executive and the organisations named above are examined. This case study shows that the authority of trade union confederations like the ACTU is contingent on the exchange of concessions by the executive and its officers when they mediate between 'inside' and 'outside' organisations. When a confederation's executive has no further concessions to exchange between the parties, the mediation process breaks down. Mediation ceased in 1976 when the Government refused to give ground to the ACTU executive over the Government's MEDIBANK policy. The national 24-hour MEDIBANK strike was called by the ACTU executive primarily to restore its authority over affiliated unions that had already taken strike action and were determined to take further strike action with or without ACTU support. The future of the ALP-ACTU Prices, and Incomes Accord, and possibly of the Hawke Government, is dependent on the success of the ACTU's mediation between the Government and the unions.

description: We ask what type of mixed quantum states can arise when a number of separated parties start by sharing a pure quantum state and then this pure state becomes contaminated by noise. We show that not all mixed states arise in this way. This is even the case if the separated parties actively try to degrade their initial pure state by arbitrary local actions and classical communication.

description: Quadratic matrix equations of the kind $A_1X^2+A_0X+A_{-1}=X$ are encountered in the analysis of Quasi--Birth-Death stochastic processes where the solution of interest is the minimal nonnegative solution $G$. In many queueing models, described by random walks in the quarter plane, the coefficients $A_1,A_0,A_{-1}$ are infinite tridiagonal matrices with an almost Toeplitz structure. Here, we analyze some fixed point iterations, including Newton's iteration, for the computation of $G$ and introduce effective algorithms and acceleration strategies which fully exploit the Toeplitz structure of the matrix coefficients and of the current approximation. Moreover, we provide a structured perturbation analysis for the solution $G$. The results of some numerical experiments which demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach are reported.

description: Presentation abstract: The pathogenic Huntington's disease (HD) mutation causes polyglutamine (polyQ) tract expansion of the 348 kDa HTT protein above a critical threshold of ~35 glutamines. HD mutation effect on HTT is poorly understood, partly due to difficulties in performing biochemical studies with this large protein. To facilitate such studies, we generated resources for HTT production in multiple eukaryotic expression systems, comprising constructs with polyQ lengths representing general population, HD patients, juvenile HD patients and the more extreme expansions used in some tissue and animal models. These reagents yield milligram quantities of pure HTT protein. We characterised HTT samples produced using this HD resource, gleaning insight into the nature of full-length HTT in its apo form and when bound to its binding partner HAP40. Work outlined in this manuscript and the tools generated, lay a foundation for further biochemical study of the HTT protein and its functional interactions with other biomolecules.

Iran's relations with the Soviet Union since the revolution in Iran, 1979-1984
Creators: name: Meenai, Tasneem
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1986

description: The primary objective of the sub-ethesis is to assess the development of relations between Iran and the Soviet Union since the revolution in Iran. In early 1979, the Iranian revolution brought an Islamic government into power. The anti-US slogans of the new government and its complete withdrawal from total dependence on the United States, along with the chaotic situation within Iran, made it vulnerable to outside interference. On the other hand, in late 1979, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan posed security problems for Iran. The new government responded cautiously and slowly to this development. Internally, the power struggle among the Islamic fundamentalists, the Islamic moderates and the various leftist groups conditioned the relations between Iran and the Soviet Union as they evolved over the period. A 'reasonable working relationship' developed between the two countries despite the ideological differences...

description: While well-protected through a variety of safety countermeasures, motorsports drivers can be exposed to a large variety of crash modes and severities. Computational human body models (HBMs) are currently used to assess occupant safety for the general driving public in production vehicles. The purpose of this study was to incorporate a HBM into a motorsport environment using a simulation-based approach and provide quantitative data on relative risk for on-track motorsport crashes. Unlike a traditional automotive seat, the NASCAR driver environment is driver-customized and form-fitting. A multi-step process was developed to integrate the Global Human Body Models Consortium (GHBMC) 50th percentile male simplified occupant into a representative motorsport environment which includes a donned helmet, a 7-point safety belt system, head and neck restraint (HNR), poured-foam seat, steering wheel, and leg enclosure. A series of 45 representative impacts, developed from real-world crash data, of varying severity (10 kph ≤ ΔV ≤ 100 kph) and impact direction (∼290° ≤ PDOF ≤ 20°) were conducted with the GHBMC 50th percentile male simplified occupant (M50-OS v2.2). Kinematic and kinetic data, and a variety of injury criteria, were output from each of the simulations and used to calculate AIS 1+, 2+, and 3+ injury risk. All simulations were conducted in LS-Dyna R. 9.1. Injury risk of the occupant using the previously mentioned injury criteria was calculated for the head, neck, thorax, and lower extremity, and the probability of injury for each region was plotted. Of the simulated impacts, five had a maximum AIS 1+ injury risk >20%, six had a maximum AIS 2+ injury risk >10%, and no cases had a maximum AIS 3+ injury >1%. Overall, injury risk estimates were reasonable compared to on-track data reported from Patalak et al. (2020). Beyond injury risk, the study is the first of its kind to provide mechanical loading values likely experienced during motorsports crash incidents with crash pulses developed from real-world data. Given the severity of the crash pulses, the simulated environments reinforce the need for the robust safety environment implemented by NASCAR.

LECTOTYPE: Gender not known. Brazilia (Brazil) (MNHN). Paralectotype: One specimen. Brazil (MNHN). The paralectotype is without forebody. CORPORAAL 1950: 100. There is indication that Thomson examined more than one specimen in his description of this species, but he did not select a holotype, therefore, I invoke Recommendation 73F of the ICZN (1999) and designate a lectotype for this nominal species.
 D i a g n o s i s: Forebody castaneous; antenna testaceous; pterothorax dark castaneous; elytra mostly castaneous, apical 1/5 th testaceous, each elytron with 3 yellow markings, one at basal margin, proximal to mesoscutellum, one triangular in front of middle proximal to epipleural margin, one postmedial, proximal to sutural margin; legs bicolorous, proximal 1/2 of femora and distal 1/2 of tibiae testaceous, remainder brown, prothoracic femur mostly dark brown; tarsi testaceous.
R e d e s c r i p t i o n: Size: Length 7.3 mm; width 1.8 mm. Form: As in Fig. 141. Head: Cranium finely punctate; frons about as wide as length of antennal pedicel; EW/FW 45/7. Thorax: Pronotum finely punctate, with 2 tumescenses, slight slit at middle (PW/PL 80/120); elytral disc sculptured with striate, asetiferous punctures that extend posteriorly just behind elytral basal 1/2, elytral apex rounded (EL/EW 290/55); metathoracic femur gradually increasing in diameter to femoral apex. Abdomen: Aedeagus as in Fig. 53.
V a r i a t i o n: Size: Length 6.0-9.0 mm; width 1.3-2.1 mm. The testaceous region near the sutural margin varies in size and may not be present.
N a t u r a l h i s t o r y: From Costa Rica specimens were collected during January; from Colombia during January and August; from Venezuela during February, April, and September; from Bolivia during February, May, October, November, and December, some at altitudes that range from 400-1,350 m; from Peru during April, May, and November; from Brazil during January, February, June, October, November, and December, some at 960 m; and from Argentina during March.

Soviet policy towards Japan : an analysis of trends in the 1970s and 1980s
Creators: name: Robertson, Myles L.C.
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1987

description: This thesis is concerned with providing an analysis of Soviet policy towards Japan in the recent years of the late 1970s and in the 1980s. Inputs in Soviet policy from the ideological , political, military and economic perspectives have all been examined in detail. It is argued in many places that much of the comment in Western sources on this subject is misleading thus many of the f indings seek to mitigate this situation. The criticism that has been levelled at the Soviets by Western analysts that they lack what can be defined as a 'policy' on Japan has been considered and found to be misplaced. Questions of to what degree the Soviets 'understand' Japan and the Japanese, as well as to what degree they have successfully integrated differing approaches (ideological, military, economic, political ) into a coherent policy have been investigated and shown, by and large, to have been of mixed nature in the first case, and of overall successful coordination in the second.

description: The Stokes-parameter operators and the associated Poincare sphere, which describe the quantum-optical polarization properties of light, are defined and their basic properties are reviewed. The general features of the Stokes operators are illustrated by evaluation of their means and variances for a range of simple polarization states. Some of the examples show polarization squeezing, in which the variances of one or more Stokes parameters are smaller than the coherent-state value. The main object of the paper is the application of these concepts to bright squeezed light. It is shown that a light beam formed by interference of two orthogonally-polarized quadrature-squeezed beams exhibits squeezing in some of the Stokes parameters. Passage of such a primary polarization-squeezed beam through suitable optical components generates a pair of polarization-entangled light beams with the nature of a two-mode squeezed state. The use of pairs of primary polarization-squeezed light beams leads to substantially increased entanglement and to the generation of EPR-entangled light beams. The important advantage of these nonclassical polarization states for quantum communication is the possibility of experimentally determining all of the relevant conjugate variables of both squeezed and entangled fields using only linear optical elements followed by direct detection.

The GLE was seen by neutron monitor stations shortly after the time of the solar X-ray flare. GRAND's single muon data are presented and compared with neutron monitor data from Climax, Newark, and Oulu. The single muon data have mean primary hadron energies higher than those of these neutron monitor stations and so contain information about higher energy hadrons. For the single muon data for Project GRAND, the GLE is detected at a statistical significance of 6.1-sigma.

description: The decoy-state method has been developed rapidly in quantum key distribution (QKD) since it is immune to photon-number splitting attacks. However, two basis detector efficiency asymmetry, which exists in realistic scenarios, has been ignored in the prior results. By using the recent 4-intensity decoy-state optimization protocol, we report the first implementation of high-rate QKD with asymmetric basis detector efficiency, demonstrating 1.9 to 33.2 times higher key rate than previous protocols in the situation of large basis detector efficiency asymmetry. The results ruled out an implicitly assumption in QKD that the efficiency of Z basis and X basis are restricted to be same. This work paves the way towards a more practical QKD setting.

description: TITLE: Nonlinear Analysis to Quantify Movement Variability in Human-Humanoid Interaction ABSTRACT:
 Nonlinear analysis can be applied to investigate the dynamics of time-ordered data. Such dynamics relate to sensorimotor variability in the context of human-humanoid interaction. Hence, this dissertation not only explores questions such as how to quantify movement variability or which methods of nonlinear analysis are appropriate to quantify movement variability but also how methods of nonlinear analysis are affected by real-world time series data (e.g. non-stationary, data length size, sensor sources or noise). Methods are explored to determine embedding parameters, reconstructed state spaces, recurrence plots and recurrence quantification analysis. Additionally, this thesis presents three dimensional surface plots of recurrence quantification analysis with which to consider the variation of embedded parameters and recurrence thresholds. These show that three dimensional surface plots of Shannon entropy might be a suitable approach to understand the dynamics of real-world time series data. This thesis opens new avenues of applications in human-humanoid interaction where humanoid robots can be pre-programmed with nonlinear analysis algorithms to evaluate, for instance, the improvement of movement performances, to quantify and provide feedback of skill learning or to quantify movement adaptations and pathologies.

description: We consider non-supersymmetric quiver theories obtained by orbifolding the N=4 supersymmetric U(K) gauge theory by a discrete Z_Γgroup embedded in the SU(4) R-symmetry group. We explicitly find that in such theories there are no one-loop quadratic divergences in the effective potential. Moreover, when the gauge group U(n)^Γof the quiver theory is spontaneously broken down to the diagonal U(n), we identify a custodial supersymmetry which is responsible for the fermion-boson degeneracy of the mass spectrum.

Subjects: subject: Ethiopia

description: This report discusses how the EPRDF, from operating on the logic of a centralized political market, degenerated into an oligopolistic monopoly and later into a neo-patrimonial state that operates on patronage and sustaining disorder while maintaining a simulacrum of an institutionalized state. The report is divided into four parts. The first part discusses the genesis of the EPRDF and its highly centralized public service monopoly in government. The second part discusses the beginning of the end of the EPRDF’s centralized public service monopoly. The third part discusses the complete transformation of the state into what is called a typical African ‘big man’ politics. The fourth and final part is the conclusion.

description: This study covers a period of approximately a quarter of a century, from 1840 to 1863. Although the coverage of the 1840’s overlaps with a study already done by Dr. Chandler,^ these years are important for a comprehension of the attitude of the Cambodian people towards the Thai and the Vietnamese during the 1850’s when King Duong tried to get rid of both these enemies and suzerains by attempting to obtain help from a far-distant third power, France, to safeguard his nation. It was also during those years that the Thai had regained their preponderance over the Cambodian court after three decades of Vietnamese occupation of Cambodia and their own two earlier unsuccessful attempts at military intervention.

description: (Abridged) We have used HST WFPC2 and ground-based spectroscopy to measure the integrated extragalactic background light (EBL) at optical wavelengths. We have also computed the integrated light from individual galaxy counts in the images used to measure the EBL and in the Hubble Deep Field. We find that the flux in galaxies as measured by standard galaxy photometry methods has generally been underestimated by about 50%. Further, we find that the total flux in individually detected galaxies is a factor of 2 to 3 less than the EBL at 3000--8000A. We show that a significant fraction of the EBL may come from normal galaxies at z<4, which are simply undetectable as a result of K-corrections and cosmological surface brightness dimming. This is consistent with recent redshift surveys at z<4. In the context of some simple models, we discuss the constraints placed by the EBL on the evolution of the luminosity density at z>1. Based on our optical EBL and published UV and IR EBL measurements, we estimate that the total EBL from 0.1--1000 microns is 100+/-20 nW/m^2/sr. If the total EBL were produced entirely by stellar nucleosynthesis, then we estimate that the total baryonic mass processed through stars is Omega_* = 0.0062 (+/- 0.0022) h^{-2}, which corresponds to 0.33+/-0.12 Omega_B for currently favored values of the baryon density. This estimate is smaller by roughly 7% if 7 h_{0.7} nW/m^2/sr of the total EBL comes from accretion onto central black holes. This estimate of Omega_* suggests that the universe has been enriched to a total metal mass of 0.21(+/-0.13) Z_sun Omega_B. Our estimate is consistent with other measurements of the cumulative metal mass fraction of stars, stellar remnants, and the intracluster medium of galaxy clusters in the local universe.

description: Alcohol consumption is a well-known risk factor for sustaining road traffic injuries worldwide. Malawi is a low-income country with a large and increasing burden of road traffic injuries. It has generally been viewed as a country with relatively little alcohol consumption. This study investigates the role of alcohol in road traffic injuries in and around the capital Lilongwe. All patients presenting to the emergency department of Kamuzu Central Hospital after being injured in road traffic crashes were asked to participate in the study. Alcohol testing was done with a breathalyzer or a saliva test. Participants were asked about alcohol use before the injury as well as hazardous drinking using the AUDIT-C questionnaire. Of 1347 patients age 18 years or older who were asked to participate, 1259 gave informed consent, and data on alcohol use (alcohol test results and/or self-reported intake) were available for 1251 participants. Of those, 251 (20.1%) tested positive for alcohol, whereas 221 (17.7%) reported alcohol use before the crash; in total 311 (24.9%, 95% CI 22.5–27.3) either tested positive, reported use, or both. Females had a low prevalence of alcohol use (2.5%), while 30.6% of males had consumed alcohol before the injuries. Pedestrians had the highest prevalence at 41.8% (95% CI 35.5–48.4), while car drivers had 23.8% (95% CI 18.2–30.5). Among male pedestrians, 49.5% had used alcohol before the injury. Alcohol-associated injuries had a peak in the evening and at night, especially in the weekends. Of the patients, 63.1% reported that they had not consumed alcohol during the last year, while 21.4% had an AUDIT-C score suggesting hazardous drinking, and 66.2% of those had used alcohol before the injury. A large percentage of road traffic injured patients had been drinking alcohol before their injury, especially male pedestrians. A large proportion of the patients were abstaining from alcohol, but those not abstaining had a high prevalence both of alcohol use when injured and hazardous drinking identified by AUDIT-C. This has important implications for prevention.

description: The objective was to build and test an automated, interactive educational system to teach adults how to install a child restraint system (CRS) into a vehicle seat. The automated feedback system (AFS) consisted of a mockup vehicle fixture, convertible CRS, and doll. Sensors were implemented into the equipment so that forward-facing (FF) CRS installation errors could be detected. An interactive display monitor guided users through the CRS installation process and alerted them when steps were done incorrectly. Sixty adult volunteers were recruited and randomized into either the treatment group or the control group. The treatment group used the AFS to guide them through a practice installation. The control group also completed a practice installation using the same equipment fixture without the feedback feature turned on; they only had standard printed instruction manuals to guide their tasks. Then, participants from both groups completed a second CRS installation in a real vehicle with standard instruction manuals only. The frequencies and types of errors in all the installations were evaluated by a Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST). Error rates were compared between the treatment and control groups using lower-tailed t-tests and Pearson’s chi-square tests. Error rates were evaluated considering minor and serious errors together and also considering serious errors alone. Compared to the control group, participants who trained with the AFS exhibited fewer overall errors (minor and serious) in their fixture installations (p An automated feedback system is an effective way to teach basic CRS installation skills to users.
The Philippine independence missions to the United States 1919-1934

description: In 1916 the Filipinos received the promise of independence "as soon as a stable government can be established." The promise, contained in the preamble of the Jones Law, provided impetus to Filipino aspirations for independence. However, the Filipino leaders did not agitate for independence during the World War as a gesture of loyalty to the United States. But by the end of the War in 1913, the Filipinos felt that they had established the stable government required by the Jones Law and that it was time for the United States to redeem its promise of independence to the Philippines. Encouraged by the Jones Law and a sympathetic Governor General in the Philippines, the Filipino leaders concluded that independence from the United States could be obtained through increased political pressure and an active campaign in favour of their cause. Before 1913 the demand for independence had been voiced by means of formal resolutions of the Philippine Assembly (and after 1916, of the Philippine Legislature) delivered to the American Congress through Filipino Resident Commissioners in Washington. After 1913, a more sustained effort to terminate American rule was undertaken, with the appeal for freedom taken directly by the Filipinos to Washington through parliamentary missions or legislative committees sent by the Philippine Legislature. Independence Missions were sent to the United States almost yearly. The first one went in 1919, the last in 1933. The presence of these Missions in Washington had significant influence on the final independence act. In the midst of the Great Depression, the United States finally decided to terminate her tutelage of the Filipinos and fulfill the promise of independence given by the Jones Act of 1916. The demand for independence by the "independence missions" to the United States, agitation by American farm and labour groups, and the persistence of an "anti-colonial conscience" culminated in the passage of the Tydings-McDuffie Act in March 1934, which finally settled the Philippine issue.

description: Universal conductance fluctuations and the weak antilocalization effect are defect structure specific fingerprints in the magnetoconductance that are caused by electron interference. Experimental evidence is presented that the conductance fluctuations in the present topological insulator (Bi$_{0.57}$Sb$_{0.43}$)$_2$Te$_3$ nanoribbons which are selectively grown by molecular beam epitaxy are caused by well-defined and sharply resolved phase-coherent loops. From measurements at different magnetic field tilt angles we deduced that these loops are preferentially oriented parallel to the quintuple layers of the topological insulator material. Both from a theoretical analysis of universal conductance fluctuations and from weak antilocalization measured at low temperature the electronic phase-coherence lengths $l_ϕ$ are extracted, which is found to be larger in the former case. Possible reasons for this deviation are discussed.

description: We consider one copy of a quantum system prepared with equal prior probability in one of two non-orthogonal entangled states of multipartite distributed among separated parties. We demonstrate that these two states can be optimally distinguished in the sense of conclusive discrimination by local operations and classical communications(LOCC) alone. And this proves strictly the conjecture that Virmani et.al. [8] confirmed numerically and analytically. Generally, the optimal protocol requires local POVM operations which are explicitly constructed. The result manifests that the distinguishable information is obtained only and completely at the last operation and all prior ones give no information about that state.

description: This thesis is about China's post-Mao reform. Given its very broad themes, the thesis can only concentrate on a small fraction of the whole spectrum. The focus will be placed on the politics of reform, as embodied in the interplay of power and frequent policy changes in the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party. Additionally, as China's reform process have increasingly cut into the framework of its political and economic command system, a large number of intra party policy disagreements has arisen over the scope, strategy and speed of the reform, bringing to light the de facto competition for policy dominance among the leaders. In this regard this thesis will devote considerable attention to the analysis of the twists and turns of the reform course.
