description: To predict the annual total yields of Chinese aquatic products in future five years (2011-2015), based on the theory and method of gray system, this paper firstly establishes a conventional GM (1,1) model and a gray metabolic GM (1,1) model respectively to predict the annual total yields of Chinese aquatic products in 2006-2009 and compare the prediction accuracy between these two models. Then, it selects the model with higher accuracy to predict the annual total yields of Chinese aquatic products in future five years. The comparison indicates that gray metabolic GM (1,1) model has higher prediction accuracy and smaller error, thus it is more suitable for prediction of annual total yields of aquatic products. Therefore, it adopts the gray metabolic GM (1,1) model to predict annual total yields of Chinese aquatic products in 2011-2015. The prediction results of annual total yields are 55.32, 57.46, 59.72, 62.02 and 64.43 million tons respectively in future five years with annual average increase rate of about 3.7%, much higher than the objective of 2.2% specified in the Twelfth Five-Year Plan of the National Fishery Development (2011 to 2015). The results of this research show that the gray metabolic GM (1,1) model is suitable for prediction of yields of aquatic products and the total yields of Chinese aquatic products in 2011-2015 will totally be able to realize the objective of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan.

Re-Conceptualising Comparative Advantage and Food Sovereignty: An Unconventional Approach to Global Food Security
Creators: name: Alshaali, Abdulnasser
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: The thesis asks whether food sovereignty is a major threat to global food security, unlike the conventional definition provided in the literature which supports food self-sufficiency as the core of a country's food sovereignty. It seeks to do so through re-conceptualising the approach to comparative advantage. The thesis thus aims to prove the hypothesis, which states that global food security can be enhanced through food commodity specialisation using a newly devised approach to calculate multi-variable, multi-country production and trade comparative advantages. First, the thesis investigates the geopolitical question of food sovereignty, where countries seek to ensure their own food security through self-sufficiency. While it is important that some food production takes place, not least to protect farmers' livelihoods, this research explores the possibility of doing so through commodity specialisation. It first develops the Food Sovereignty Index (FSI) that demonstrates how countries are vulnerable, or less sovereign, making them susceptible to fluctuations in food commodity prices and politically exposed to food riots. Second, the thesis aims to understand if food commodity specialisation, through a re-conceptualisation of comparative advantage using quantitative means, can result in countries specialising in what they can best produce, in the process preserving food sovereignty and ensuring access to food. By extending analysis to 193 countries and three food commodities over a 53-year time period, it goes beyond existing limitations of international trade theories and the concept of comparative advantage, and points to wider applicability in the international economic order. This has been captured via the Production (PCA) and Trade Comparative Advantage (TCA). Third, the thesis focuses in on MENA generally, and the UAE specifically. The connection between a drop in FSI rankings and the likelihood of a food riot in MENA is examined. In the UAE's case, the thesis shows how a country that is naturally disadvantaged in agricultural production could improve its food security through better diversification of food imports sources and better targeted agro-investments into countries that rank high not only on the FSI, but on the PCA and the TCA too.

description: In 2016, we published "A test of general relativity using the LARES and LAGEOS satellites and a GRACE Earth gravity model. Measurement of Earth's dragging of inertial frames [1]", a measurement of frame-dragging, a fundamental prediction of Einstein's theory of General Relativity, using the laser-ranged satellites LARES, LAGEOS and LAGEOS 2. The formal error, or precision, of our test was about 0.2% of frame-dragging, whereas the systematic error was estimated to be about 5%. In the 2017 paper "A comment on "A test of general relativity using the LARES and LAGEOS satellites and a GRACE Earth gravity model by I. Ciufolini et al." "by L. Iorio [2] (called I2017 in the following), it was incorrectly claimed that, when comparing different Earth gravity field models, the systematic error in our test due to the Earth's even zonal harmonics of degree 6, 8, 10 could be aslarge as 15%, 6% and 36%, respectively. Furthermore, I2017 contains other, also incorrect, claims about the number of necessary significant decimal digits of the coefficients used in our test (claimed to be nine), in order to eliminate the largest uncertainties in the even zonals of degree 2 and 4, and about the non-repeatability of our test. Here we analyze and rebut those claims in I2017.

description: Active inference is a normative framework for explaining behaviour under the free energy principle -- a theory of self-organisation originating in neuroscience. It specifies neuronal dynamics for state-estimation in terms of a descent on (variational) free energy -- a measure of the fit between an internal (generative) model and sensory observations. The free energy gradient is a prediction error -- plausibly encoded in the average membrane potentials of neuronal populations. Conversely, the expected probability of a state can be expressed in terms of neuronal firing rates. We show that this is consistent with current models of neuronal dynamics and establish face validity by synthesising plausible electrophysiological responses. We then show that these neuronal dynamics approximate natural gradient descent, a well-known optimisation algorithm from information geometry that follows the steepest descent of the objective in information space. We compare the information length of belief updating in both schemes, a measure of the distance traveled in information space that has a direct interpretation in terms of metabolic cost. We show that neural dynamics under active inference are metabolically efficient and suggest that neural representations in biological agents may evolve by approximating steepest descent in information space towards the point of optimal inference.

description: Based on the current situation of ecological environment of agriculture in Tianjin City, we divide the ecological service function of urban modern agriculture in Tianjin City into seven types: air regulation, climate regulation, water conservation, soil formation and protection, waste disposal, biodiversity conservation, and ecological entertainment. According to the method for assessing the value of natural ecosystem, coupled with the ecological service value equivalency factor table of China's ecosystem formulated by domestic scholars, we estimate the ecological value in Tianjin City. The results show that the actual ecological value of agriculture in Tianjin City was 30.752 billion yuan in 2010, close to the agricultural economic value (31.733 billion yuan) in 2010. Finally we put forth the following countermeasures for the ecological function development of urban modern agriculture in Tianjin City: strictly protecting arable land, and raising the standards of compensation for agricultural land requisition; actively and prudently developing facility agriculture, and preventing the blind scale expansion of facility agriculture to better give play to its ecological function; strengthening the construction of ecological agriculture, and promoting the market conversion of the ecological service value of agriculture; improving the environment, to form relatively complete agro-ecological system.

description: We present a method of fitting optical spectra of galaxies using a basis set of six vectors obtained from principal component analysis (PCA) of a library of synthetic spectra of 40000 star formation histories (SFHs). Using this library, we provide estimates of resolved effective stellar mass-to-light ratio ($\log Υ^*$) for thousands of galaxies from the SDSS-IV/MaNGA integral-field spectroscopic survey. Using a testing framework built on additional synthetic SFHs, we show that the estimates of stellar mass-to-light ratio are reliable (as are their uncertainties) at a variety of signal-to-noise ratios, stellar metallicities, and dust attenuation conditions. Finally, we describe the future release of the resolved stellar mass-to-light ratios as a SDSS-IV/MaNGA Value-Added Catalog (VAC) and provide a link to the software used to conduct this analysis.
Parliamentary Inquiry into the Child Support Program:A critical analysis of submissions
Creators: name: Archer, Tempe
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: Despite the Australian Child Support Scheme having been in operation for three decades and seen as one of the leading child support systems in the world, child support continues to be one of the most disputed and controversial areas of social policy. Five major evaluations of the Scheme have occurred over the past 25 years, including the most recent Parliamentary Inquiry in 2014 chaired by the Hon George Christensen MP. The present study sought to critically examine the submissions to, and final report of, the 2014 Parliamentary Inquiry into the Child Support Program - in particular whether some voices (that is, those of experts versus those of non-experts) and forms of evidence were given primacy. Three research questions guided the study: (a) Did the Committee focus on any particular terms of reference? (b) Were some forms of evidence privileged over other sources of evidence? and (c) To what extent was the Committee's final report based on "expert" evidence? These questions were examined by conducting a thematic analysis of 130 written submissions and oral evidence from 79 witnesses at 12 public hearings around Australia (available on the Parliamentary website). Three key findings emerged. First, while the formula and compliance featured in the Committee's questions during oral submissions, it was far less prominent in the final report. In short, the Committee did not focus on any particular terms of reference in its final report. One possible reason for this is that most - if not all - of the Terms of Reference in totality require a major investigation by a group of technical experts supported by a large specialist secretariat (as was the case with the Ministerial Taskforce). A broad and shallow approach to all of the Terms of Reference is safe in the current risk-averse, fiscally tight, intense political context. A second finding was that some forms of evidence (most notably expert evidence) were privileged over other types of evidence (that is, non-expert evidence). A third finding was that the Committee's final report was largely based on "expert" evidence; this differs from prior evaluations in which gender-based non-expert interest groups have been found to be influential in the policy reform process. The findings from the present study suggest that the most recent child support inquiry involved highly selective, ad hoc and opaque processes rather than logical, rational, transparent processes. Lessons for the policy development process, and ideas for future studies, are noted.

description: Since reform and open to the outside world, foxtail millet planting area in Hebei Province has constantly reduced, and its planting region has changed from the whole province into some regions, with obvious changes. In this paper, by using qualitative and quantitative approaches like chart analysis, summarizing, Delphi method and osculating value model, the influencing factors of changes in millet growing region in Hebei Province were studied. The results showed that the changes of millet planting area were closely related to many factors, such as little investment in scientific research, weak policy support, a single consumer product demand, the rapid development of other staple crops, labor migration, relatively low comparative effectiveness and physiological characteristics of the millet itself. Then some suggestions were put forward, such as increasing research support, strengthening scientific research strength, researching and developing deeply processed products, expanding consumer groups, improving millet policy support, providing subsidies for planting the improved varieties, researching and developing various types of machinery, and increasing millet production technology training.

description: We look at chaotic systems evolving in fractal phase space. The entropy change in time due to the fractal geometry is assimilated to the information growth through the scale refinement. Due to the incompleteness, at any scale, of the information calculation in fractal support, the incomplete normalization $\sum_ip_i^q=1$ is applied throughout the paper. It is shown that the information growth is nonadditive and is proportional to the trace-form $\sum_ip_i-\sum_ip_i^q$ so that it can be connected to several nonadditive entropies. This information growth can be extremized to give, for non-equilibrium systems, power law distributions of evolving stationary state which may be called ``maximum entropic evolution''.

description: The so-called quantum Cheshire Cat is a scenario where a photon, identified with a cat, and a component of its polarization, identified with the grin of that cat, are separated. We observe that the same techniques can be used to separate two orthogonal components of polarization of a photon, on an average. We identify these polarization components of the photon as the grin and snarl of the cat for ease of comprehension. A gedanken experiment is presented in which we simultaneously tune the input polarizations of the photon in the two arms of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. It is noted that for two particular choices of photon polarization, the presence of the two components gets reversed in the two arms. This reversal of the grin and the snarl occurs before the polarization components even interact with the tuners, i.e., before the choice of which arm each should be in is made.

description: This paper introduces an abductive framework for updating knowledge bases represented by extended disjunctive programs. We first provide a simple transformation from abductive programs to update programs which are logic programs specifying changes on abductive hypotheses. Then, extended abduction, which was introduced by the same authors as a generalization of traditional abduction, is computed by the answer sets of update programs. Next, different types of updates, view updates and theory updates are characterized by abductive programs and computed by update programs. The task of consistency restoration is also realized as special cases of these updates. Each update problem is comparatively assessed from the computational complexity viewpoint. The result of this paper provides a uniform framework for different types of knowledge base updates, and each update is computed using existing procedures of logic programming.

description: The potential of geoengineering as an alternative or complementary option to mitigation and adaptation has received increased interest in recent years. The scientific assessment of geoengineering is driven to a large extent by assumptions about its effectiveness, costs, and impacts, all of which are highly uncertain. This has led to a polarizing debate. This paper evaluates the role of Solar Radiation Management (SRM) on the optimal abatement path, focusing on the uncertainty about the effectiveness of SRM and the interaction with uncertain climate change response. Using standard economic models of dynamic decision theory under uncertainty, we show that abatement is decreasing in the probability of success of SRM, but that this relation is concave and thus that significant abatement reductions are optimal only if SRM is very likely to be effective. The results are confirmed even when considering positive correlation structures between the effectiveness of geoengineering and the magnitude of climate change. Using a stochastic version of an Integrated Assessment Model, the results are found to be robust for a wide range of parameters specification.

description: A galaxy's stellar mass is one of its most fundamental properties, but it remains challenging to measure reliably. With the advent of very large optical spectroscopic surveys, efficient methods that can make use of low signal-to-noise spectra are needed. With this in mind, we created a new software package for estimating effective stellar mass-to-light ratios $\log Υ^*$ that uses principal component analysis(PCA) basis set to optimize the comparison between observed spectra and a large library of stellar population synthesis models. In Paper I, we showed that a with a set of six PCA basis vectors we could faithfully represent most optical spectra from the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at APO (MaNGA) survey;and we tested the accuracy of our M/L estimates using synthetic spectra. Here, we explore sources of systematic error in our mass measurements by comparing our new measurements to data from the literature. We compare our stellar mass surface density estimates to kinematics-derived dynamical mass surface density measurements from the DiskMass Survey and find some tension between the two which could be resolved if the disk scale-heights used in the kinematic analysis were overestimated by a factor of $\sim 1.5$. We formulate an aperture-corrected stellar mass catalog for the MaNGA survey, and compare to previous stellar mass estimates based on multi-band optical photometry, finding typical discrepancies of 0.1 dex. Using the spatially resolved MaNGA data, we evaluate the impact of estimating total stellar masses from spatially unresolved spectra, and we explore how the biases that result from unresolved spectra depend upon the galaxy's dust extinction and star formation rate. Finally, we describe a SDSS Value-Added Catalog which will include both spatially resolved and total (aperture-corrected) stellar masses for MaNGA galaxies.
Simulability of Imperfect Gaussian and Superposition Boson Sampling

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the hardness of classically simulating Gaussian boson sampling at nonzero photon distinguishability. We find that similar to regular boson sampling, distinguishability causes exponential attenuation of the many-photon interference terms in Gaussian boson sampling. Barring an open problem in the theory of matrix permanents, this leads to an efficient classical algorithm to simulate Gaussian boson sampling in the presence of distinguishability. We also study a new form of boson sampling based on photon number superposition states, for which we also show noise sensivity. The fact that such superposition boson sampling is not simulable with out method at zero distinguishability is the first evidence for the computational hardness of this problem.

description: This paper proposes to investigate the impact of financialization on energy markets (oil, gas, coal and electricity European forward prices) during both normal times and extreme fluctuation periods through an original behavioral and emotional approach. To this aim, we propose a new theoretical and empirical framework based on a heterogeneous agents model in which fundamentalists and chartists co-exist and are subject to regret and uncertainty. We find significant evidence that energy markets are composed by heterogeneous traders which behave differently depending on the intensity of the price fluctuations and uncertainty context. In particular, energy prices are mainly governed by fundamental and chartist neutral agents during normal times whereas they face to irrational chartist averse investors during extreme fluctuations periods. In this context, the recent energy prices surge can be viewed as the consequence of irrational exhuberance. Our new theoretical model outperforms the random walk in out-of-sample predictive ability.

A Bayesian Reappraisal of Australian Crustal Heat Flow and Temperature
Creators: name: Haynes, Marcus
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: Geothermal data offers a unique perspective from which to image the Earth. However, geothermal data is difficult to collect and this has necessitated a reliance on industrial data collection during the exploration for mineral and petroleum resources. Resulting data quality issues have limited previous studies in their ability map the information contained in the data into robust model inferences. In this thesis I employ a Bayesian statistical framework to address these issues, predominantly through the Bayesian re-appraisal of Australian crustal heat flow and temperature data. This has been achieved by defining sensitivity kernels for surface heat flow determinations, examining the sources and magnitudes of noise in primary geothermal data sets, and developing methods to assign petrophysical rock property a priori distributions with spatial variability scaled appropriate to the length-scales of modelling. I combine these factors and use them to infer the surface heat flow field across Australia. This demonstrates the existence of a relationship between surface heat flow determinations and lithospheric thickness. Remote sensing and Argo sea float data have been used to derive a national land-surface temperature coverage, providing the basis for detailed crustal temperature modelling. This is supported by a new framework for assessing the uncertainties inherent in bottom-hole temperature measurements, enabling us to leverage vast industrial data sets to model crustal thermal fields. The significance of these outcomes is that they advances us on the pathway towards genuine joint-inversion involving geothermal data. The quantification of uncertainty distributions on geothermal data sets provides the means to calculate the degree with which a given earth model is consistent with available geothermal data. In doing so, this thesis establishes the basis for future data integration projects to build detailed models of Australian crustal structure and composition, and through doing so, to better constrain the Australian lithospheric heat budget.

description: This study seeks to examine the economic impact of companies that offer water-based activities (WBA) to their localities in Ireland. Marine based water activities generated €74.3 million in turnover to the Irish economy in 2007 of which €40 million was Gross Value Added. The sector employed 1090 individuals in Full Time Equivalents. Previously, the local economic impacts of WBA were difficult to measure due to lack of micro data and literature on the sector. This study takes previous national level research on the value of WBA further, by examining the demographics, visitation patterns and expenditures of WBA participates in the West of Ireland. This paper used a face-to-face survey to collate information on participant characteristics and their expenditures on WBA in the local economy during the summer of 2010.

description: For $r\geq 1$, the $r$-independence complex of a graph $G$ is a simplicial complex whose faces are subset $I \subseteq V(G)$ such that each component of the induced subgraph $G[I]$ has at most $r$ vertices. In this article, we determine the homotopy type of $r$-independence complexes of certain families of graphs including complete $s$-partite graphs, fully whiskered graphs, cycle graphs and perfect $m$-ary trees. In each case, these complexes are either homotopic to a wedge of equi-dimensional spheres or are contractible. We also give a closed form formula for their homotopy types.

description: SMA observations of the massive star-forming region IRAS 18089-1732 in the 1mm and 850mu band reveal outflow and disk signatures in different molecular lines. The SiO(5--4) data show a collimated outflow in the northern direction. In contrast, the HCOOCH3(20--19) line, which traces high-density gas, is confined to the very center of the region and shows a velocity gradient across the core. The HCOOCH3 velocity gradient is not exactly perpendicular to the outflow axis but between an assumed disk plane and the outflow axis. We interpret these HCOOCH3 features as originating from a rotating disk that is influenced by the outflow and infall. Based on the (sub-)mm continuum emission, the mass of the central core is estimated to be around 38M_sun. The dynamical mass derived from the HCOOCH3 data is 22Msun, of about the same order as the core mass. Thus, the mass of the protostar/disk/envelope system is dominated by its disk and envelope. The two frequency continuum data of the core indicate a low dust opacity index beta ~ 1.2 in the outer part, decreasing to beta ~ 0.5 on shorter spatial scales.

description: We report the first observation of a narrow charmmonium state produced in the exclusive decay process B+->K+ pi+pi- J/psi. This state, which decays into pi+pi-J/psi, has a mass of 3871.8+-0.7(stat)+-0.4(syst) MeV, which is very near the M_D + M_D* mass threshold. The results are based on an analysis of 152M BBbar events collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance in the Belle detector at the KEKB collider.

description: We explore the nature of Business Groups, that is network-like forms of hierarchical organization between legally autonomous firms spanning both within and across national borders. Exploiting a unique dataset of 270,474 headquarters controlling more than 1,500,000 (domestic and foreign) affiliates in all countries worldwide, we find that business groups account for a significant part of value-added generation in both developed and developing countries, with a prevalence in the latter. In order to characterize their boundaries, we distinguish between an affiliate vs. a group-level index of vertical integration, as well as an entropy-like metric able to summarize the hierarchical complexity of a group and its trade-off between exploitation of knowledge as an input across the hierarchy and the associated communication costs. We relate these metrics to host country institutional characteristics, as well as to the performance of affiliates across business groups. Conditional on institutional quality, a negative correlation exists between vertical integration and organizational complexity in defining the boundaries of business groups. We also find a robust (albeit non-linear) positive relationship between a group's organizational complexity and productivity which dominates the already known correlation between vertical integration and productivity. Results are in line with the theoretical framework of knowledge-based hierarchies developed by the literature, in which intangible assets are a complementary input in the production processes.
Coherent Spin Oscillations in a Disordered Magnet

description: Most materials freeze when cooled to sufficiently low temperature. We find that magnetic dipoles randomly distributed in a solid matrix condense into a spin liquid with spectral properties on cooling that are the diametric opposite of those for conventional glasses. Measurements of the non-linear magnetic dynamics in the low temperature liquid reveal the presence of coherent spin oscillations composed of hundreds of spins with lifetimes up to ten seconds. These excitations can be labeled by frequency, manipulated by the magnetic fields from a loop of wire, and permit the encoding of information at multiple frequencies simultaneously.

description: The antiferromagnetic (AF) compound MnBi$_{2}$Te$_{4}$ is suggested to be the first realization of an antiferromagnetic (AF) topological insulator. Here we report on inelastic neutron scattering studies of the magnetic interactions in MnBi$_{2}$Te$_{4}$ that possess ferromagnetic (FM) triangular layers with AF interlayer coupling. The spin waves display a large spin gap and pairwise exchange interactions within the triangular layer are frustrated due to large next-nearest neighbor AF exchange. The degree of frustration suggests proximity to a variety of magnetic phases, potentially including skyrmion phases, that could be accessed in chemically tuned compounds or upon the application of symmetry-breaking fields.
