The concept of time in Buddhism
Creators: name: Prasad, Hari Shankar
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1982

description: The present thesis is an attempt to expound the philosophical study of time in India. Its main purpose is to give a clear picture of the Buddhist notion of time as discussed in its different schools: the Pali tradition, Vaibhasikas (or the Sarvastivadins), Sautrantikas and the Madhyamikas. It also deals with the three major non-Buddhist systems: Nyaya-Vaisesika, Samkhya-Yoga and Jainism. The first chapter deals with the substantive reality of time in Nyaya-Vaisesika, which is a realistic and pluralistic system. It accepts time (mahakala) as an instrumental cause, eternal, absolute, independent, unique, infinite and all-pervading. According to this system, finite time (khandakala), such as second, minute, hour, day, past, present or future, has no independent status, and is only an imposed property of eternal time (kalopadhi). In the second chapter, Samkhya-Yoga gives a tremendous shock to absolute time of the Nyaya-Vaisesika. Whereas Samkhya identifies time with change, actions or events, Yoga ascribes reality to moment (ksana), but denies its aggregates as absolute time. In the third chapter, Jainism maintains that time is real and a substance, but it does not possess corporeality, though it has existence. It propounds the semi-realistic and atomistic theory of time. The fourth chapter makes an analysis of the concept of time in Pali Buddhism dispersed through a vast number of Pali texts. The fifth chapter deals with the important controversy on time between the Vaibhasikas (or the Sarvastivadins) and the Sautrantikas. The sixth and final chapter provides a Madhyamika critique of time. It is to be noted that in the entire Buddhist tradition time has never been considered as a reality, though we do find in it some interesting passages on the three time-epochs, the past, present and future, which are often taken as the modes of existence. But they too are in no sense real as such. The first appendix gives some different lists of computations of time maintained by different texts. This is in addition to the lists given by Nyaya-Vaisesika and Jainism. The second appendix is a new critical edition of the Prasannapada, chapter XIX, which demonstrates the Madhyamika critique of time.
Back of Bourke : a study of the appraisal and settlement of the semi-arid plains of eastern Australia

subject: Land capability for agriculture Australia

description: The nineteenth century European invasion of the world* s temperate grasslands brought the prospective settlers into contact with novel environments, adaptation to which imposed severe strains upon traditional techniques of land use and traditional appraisals of land quality. The eventual settlement of these lands was achieved only after considerable modifications had been made to those techniques and appraisals and several studies have been made of the processes of modification in North America, particularly in connection with the development of faming on the Great Plains. In such studies, the emphasis has been upon the development of land for agriculture, pastoral land use has been regarded as only a temporary precursor to eventual cultivation. Yet there remain today extensive areas of the drier temperate grasslands from which agriculture is still excluded and where the dominion of the herdsman is unbroken. Some studies have been made of the sequence of settlement in such localities, but little effort has been directed towards understanding the mental processes involved in the physical adaptation of traditional techniques and concepts. Too much stress has been laid in academic as well as popular literature, upon the conflicts between the farmer and the herder, and between the farmer and his environment; not enough consideration has been given to the initial conflict between the herdsman and his environment. This thesis, therefore, is a contribution towards restoring the balance for a portion of the plains of eastern Australia.

Self rule in the Cook Islands : the government and politics of a new micro-state
Creators: name: Stone, David Joseph
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1971
Subjects: subject: Cook Islands Politics and government

description: The Cook Group comprises fifteen small islands lying between Samoa and Tahiti in the South Pacific. They have a total land area of only ninety-three square miles and are scattered over 850,000 square miles of ocean. Eleven of them provide the home for some 20,000 Polynesians, just over half of whom live on the island of Rarotonga in the south. In 1965, after sixty-four years of New Zealand rule and as the culmination of gradual constitutional development since the Second World War, the Cook Islands became selfgoverning in free association with New Zealand. At a time when the world had witnessed dozens of colonies advance to sovereign independence, the advent of self-rule in the Cook Islands might normally have gone unnoticed. Instead, it drew considerable international attention. There were two closely related reasons for this: the status of association with New Zealand and the grant of self-government to a territory so small in terms of population and resources that there seemed little prospect of its ever achieving economic viability. The form of association worked out for the Cook Islands was not the first example of an alternative to independence for formerly dependent territories. With the approval of the United Nations others had been introduced, and had worked with varying success, in the Caribbean:: Guadaloupe and Martinique had become departments of France; the Dutch Antilles had been incorporated into the Unitary Kingdom of the Netherlands; and Puerto Rico had entered a form of association with the United States in which the term 'Commonwealth' had been translated from the Spanish Estado libre Asociado.

Describing the single-particle states by Random Matrix Theory, we find that interactions can induce phase transitions (or crossovers for finite systems) to regimes where fluctuations and collective effects dominate at low energies. Implications for experiments and numerical work on quantum dots are discussed.

Waste forms for actinides: borosilicate glasses

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This high level liquid radioactive reprocessing waste will become vitrified in order to obtain a stable borosilicate waste glass matrix that provides protection against environmental dispersion. Since vitrified waste is in a solid form, transportation, storage and final geological disposal are facilitated. The glass products contain the non-extracted fraction of uranium and plutonium together with the minor actinides Am, Np and Cm and fission products such as (90Sr, 99Tc ou 137Cs). In the long term, the safest way to deal with actinide containing nuclear waste (vitrified waste or spent fuel) is geological disposal. The disposal locations are isolated from biosphere by engineered barriers while dense rock characteristics and low groundwater flow assure that any potential return of radionuclides to biosphere by groundwater transport will be retarded for many hundreds of thousands of years. If the actinides (and other radionuclides) are conditioned within a glass matrix and cast into metal canisters, actinides can only be released to the ground water if the canister and the glass matrix becomes dissolved or corroded and this alteration process will take many hundreds of thousands of years. Even if the glass finally becomes dissolved or corroded entirely in ground water, large quantities of actinides will in all likelihood remain immobile by being bound to secondary phases, which form as solid corrosion products on the glass surface during the alteration process. Typical glass corrosion products are gel like and crystalline phases such as silicates and oxy-hydroxides.To predict the performance of the actinide containing waste glass, one needs to understand the dissolution process of the glass matrix, the thermodynamic and kinetic constraints which lead to actinide fixation in secondary reaction products as well as the short and long term transport processes.

description: We present simple yet extremely accurate coupled-wave models describing the formation of bound states in the continuum (BICs) in 1D-periodic guided-mode resonant gratings (GMRGs) consisting of a slab waveguide layer with a binary grating attached to one or both of its interfaces. Using these models, we obtain simple closed-form expressions predicting the locations of the BICs and quasi-BICs in the $ω$-$k_x$ parameter space. We study two mechanisms of the BIC formation: coupling between two counter-propagating guided modes and coupling between a guided mode and a Fabry-Pérot mode. The BIC conditions for the two considered mechanisms are formulated in terms of the scattering coefficients of the binary grating. The predictions of the presented models are in excellent agreement with the results of rigorous numerical simulations obtained using the Fourier modal method.

Financing bankable projects for small farmers : the Bangladesh perspective

Subjects: subject: Agricultural credit Bangladesh
subject: Agriculture Economic aspects Bangladesh

description: Since national independence in 1947, when the colonial areas now forming the present Bangladesh were freed to become East Pakistan, a number of approaches for augmenting agricultural otuput and income have been attempted. The present study examines such an approach, styled "The Bankable Area Development Project", which is currently being advocated for the development of selected areas with agricultural potential. Cross-section data for one year of a proposed pilot bankable project have been analysed to measure benefits, costs, and net benefits without project for each group of small farmers. Based on farm level information, one average annual farm plan with power irrigation and the other without it have been projected for each farm group to measure incremental benefits, incremental costs, and incremental net benefits with project. These data have been considered with other relevant information in the financial analysis of the Project. The study shows that all the farm groups would be financially viable with power irrigation accompanied with credit and inputs, as the IRR to each of them would be impressive, i.e. more than 50 per cent, and the BCR would range from 1.09:1 to 1.29:1. Without power irrigation, on the other hand, financial viability for all the farm groups would be on a much lower key. Their IRRs would range between 16 per cent and more than 50 per cent, but their BCRs would be between 1.01:1 and 1.15:1 only. It is also revealed from the study that the BCR and the IRR for the Project with power irrigation is very impressive, i.e. 1.58:1, and more than 50 per cent respectively. Even with a 10 per cent cost escalation and a simultaneous 10 per cent reduction in benefits the IRR would remain a significant 44 per cent. The financing bank's BCR is 1.04:1 and IRR 18 per cent, both of which are financially encouraging However, with the 10 per cent overrun in costs and decrease in benefits the IRR would fall sharply to an alarming 4 per cent only. Hence, the broad conclusion from this study is that bankable area development projects for small farmers in Bangladesh would demonstrate high financial viability, if the various enterprise and activity programmes are carried out as per appropriate and viable farm plans. To ensure viability of the financing bank, the credit programme should be invariably tied with the supervised utilization of inputs and extension, and the rigorous enforcement of credit discipline.
Growth in crop output: Pakistan and Indian Punjabs since 1947

description: This study on growth performance in Pakistan Punjab's crop sector after independence in 1947 aims at finding whether growth has varied significantly between the three identifiable sub-periods into which the post-independence period can be divided, whether the performance of different crops in terms of area and yield has been different over the sub-periods and whether the sources of growth in terms of contribution of yields, area and cropping-pattern-change (using an additive model of decomposition of growth) have been different over the sub-periods. The study also attempts to discover the contribution of the land, water and fertilizer inputs to production. Finally, Pakistan Punjab's agricultural growth is compared with agricultural growth reported for the adjoining and similar region of Indian Punjab, in order to discover whether there has been a differential in growth in production and productivity between the two Punjabs and whether such difference is also reflected in unequal levels of input use and difference in conditions of institutions and infrastructure. To provide a background to these aspects, an historical perspective is first developed on the physical, economic and policy environment of Punjab agriculture and the development of inputs and infrastructure over the period of study. The study finds that growth has varied significantly between the three sub-periods. In particular, it finds an all-pervasive decline or levelling-off in growth during the last period. It also finds that the sources of growth in terms of contribution to production of area, yield and cropping pattern changes have been different between the three subperiods. The study is not successful in measuring the contribution of individual inputs of land, water and fertilizer because weaknesses in the data precluded the drawing of statistically valid conclusions. In respect of the comparison between Pakistan and Indian Punjab's growth performance, the study comes to the conclusion that Indian Punjab, over most of the period, has had higher growth rates and levels of production than Pakistan Punjab and that this is also reflected in a marked difference in levels of input-use, infrastructure development and institutional arrangements. Implications on policy arise from these findings.

 Proprioseiopsis neotropicus belongs to the belizensis species group. However, the specimens collected differ from other species in this group by having a macroseta on genu I. As the spermatheca of that species is saccular, it belongs to the belizensis species subgroup (Chant and McMurtry 2005a). Its biology is totally unknown. This is the first record in French Guiana.
 World distribution: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru.
 Specimens examined: two specimens (2 ♀♀) collected during this study. Île du Salut (3 m aasl, lat. 5°17  ′  01  ″  N, long. 53°58  ′  02  ″  W), 2 ♀♀ on an unknown species of Melastomataceae, 2/XI/2001.
 Remarks: this species was described in detail by Ehara (1966) and there is no need for it to be redrawn in this paper. Morphological and morphometric characters and all measurements of our two specimens agree well with measurement given in the literature for specimens from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru (Ehara 1966, Moraes and Mesa 1988, Lofego et al. 2004, Guanilo et al. 2008a, b), especially for specimens from Brazil (Lofego et al. 2004).

description: The period from 1860 to the early years of the twentieth century was a critical one in the colonization of Australia. It has been characterised by N.G. Butlin as "the phase of Australian economic development dominated by the problem of utilizing (Australia's) natural resources". At first sight this appears self-evident. Certainly the geographical extension and intensification of colonial settlement during the Long Boom of 1861 to 1891 and the accompanying accumulation of productive assets made a central contribution to the shape of the colonies' later development, as did the economic restructuring forced on the colonies by the subsequent depression. However, to take expanding resource utilization and capital formation as the central problem or fundamental determinant of the form of colonial development is a different matter. The manner of colonial resource utilization was ultimately constrained by the limitations of the resource base and of contemporary technology, but on closer scrutiny these physical limits appear to have been less pressing than were economic and political conflicts over who should control, and reap the products of, the colonies' natural resources.

description: Determining the post-mortem interval (PMI) of human remains is integral to certain forensic investigations. Reliably estimating the PMI of skeletal remains within a forensic context has been demonstrated to be particularly difficult (Buchan and Anderson 2001; Cattaneo 2007). There is still no definitive way to accurately estimate the PMI of skeletal remains despite the publication of numerous methods. This study used a controlled animal model experiment conducted over 24 months between May 2012 and April 2014 in the Canberra region, Australia. Twenty-four fully fleshed Sus scrofa (White hybrid pigs) and 24 Macropus giganteus (eastern grey kangaroo) carcasses were placed on the ground surface at the fieldwork site. Twelve carcasses of each species had cages built around them, while the remaining twelve carcasses of each species were left uncaged. Every four months (120 days), four carcasses of each species were collected (two caged and two uncaged). All carcasses were recorded during the fieldwork to examine the effect of taphonomic variables such as local environment, invertebrate activity and bone weathering. The uncaged carcasses were additionally recorded during fieldwork for vertebrate scavenging activity, disarticulation and scattering. Following the collection of carcasses at PMIs of 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 months, additional analyses were undertaken on the remains of the caged carcasses: including microscopic quantification of the bone surface; infra-red and Raman spectroscopy; and nano-indentation. Each analysis was conducted to examine the potential use of each in estimating the PMI from skeletal remains. The results demonstrated that using taphonomic variables, such as scavenging, disarticulation or bone weathering to estimate the PMI, was unfeasible due to the influence the local environment has on these variables. However, the quantification of the bone surface demonstrated there was an increase in quantity and size (area and diameter) of pores over the 24 month period. Furthermore, there was a measurable decrease in the CH-Aliphatic content over the 24 months when measuring using either an infra-red or Raman spectrometer.

description: The Ising-like spin ice model, with a macroscopically degenerate ground state, has been shown to be approximated by several real materials. Here we investigate a model related to spin ice, in which the Ising spins are replaced by classical Heisenberg spins. These populate a cubic pyrochlore lattice and are coupled to nearest neighbours by a ferromagnetic exchange term J and to the local <1,1,1> axes by a single-ion anisotropy term D. The near neighbour spin ice model corresponds to the case D/J infinite. For finite D/J we find that the macroscopic degeneracy of spin ice is broken and the ground state is magnetically ordered into a four-sublattice structure. The transition to this state is first-order for D/J > 5 and second-order for D/J < 5 with the two regions separated by a tricritical point. We investigate the magnetic phase diagram with an applied field along [1,0,0] and show that it can be considered analogous to that of a ferroelectric.

description: Accurate and reliable travel time predictions in public transport networks are essential for delivering an attractive service that is able to compete with other modes of transport in urban areas. The traditional application of this information, where arrival and departure predictions are displayed on digital boards, is highly visible in the city landscape of most modern metropolises. More recently, the same information has become critical as input for smart-phone trip planners in order to alert passengers about unreachable connections, alternative route choices and prolonged travel times. More sophisticated Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) include the predictions of connection assurance, i.e. to hold back services in case a connecting service is delayed. In order to operate such systems, and to ensure the confidence of passengers in the systems, the information provided must be accurate and reliable. Traditional methods have trouble with this as congestion, and thus travel time variability, increases in cities, consequently making travel time predictions in urban areas a non-trivial task. This paper presents a system for bus travel time prediction that leverages the non-static spatio-temporal correlations present in urban bus networks, allowing the discovery of complex patterns not captured by traditional methods. The underlying model is a multi-output, multi-time-step, deep neural network that uses a combination of convolutional and long short-term memory (LSTM) layers. The method is empirically evaluated and compared to other popular approaches for link travel time prediction and currently available services, including the currently deployed model in Copenhagen, Denmark. We find that the proposed model significantly outperforms all the other methods we compare with, and is able to detect small irregular peaks in bus travel times very quickly.

Liberal Party organisation in Victoria, 1945-68
Creators: name: Aimer, Edmond Peter
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1970
Subjects: subject: Liberal and Country Party (Victoria)

description: This thesis is a study of the Liberal Party's extra-parliamentary organisation in Victoria between 1945 and 1968. The first section provides an introductory chapter and an historical background. Thus, Chapter 2 surveys the development of non-Labor organisation in Victoria from 1910 to 1940, while Chapter 3 gives a more detailed account of the decay of the organisation of the Liberal Party's immediate predecessor - the United Australia Party - and of the moves in 1943 and 1944 to form a new party. The second section of the thesis looks at the structure and functioning of the Liberal Party's extra-parliamentary institutions and their relation with the parliamentary wing since 1945. Chapters 5 to 9 examine such aspects of organisation as the size and distribution of party membership, the recruitment of members and their roles, the location, structure and activities of branches, and the composition and role of the party's central and auxiliary organs. Chapters 10-13 are concerned with the way in which the organisation has performed its main functions of selecting parliamentary candidates, contesting elections, and shaping party policy.

Near-rings and near-ring modules
Creators: name: Scott, Stuart Donald
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1970
Subjects: subject: Rings (Algebra)
subject: Modules (Algebra)

description: Dickson [11], in 1905,first gave examples of finite nearfields, which, in 1907, were used by 0. Veblen and J.H. MaclaganWedderburn [26] to construct finite non-desarguesian and non-pascalian geometries. The problem of characterising all finite near-fields remained open until Zassenhaus [28], in 1936, showed the addition of seven proper finite near-fields to the list of Dickson's, gave the complete picture. It appears that near-rings proper were first looked at in 1932 by H. Fitting [12]. Not long after, O. Taussky [25] and B.H. Neumann [22] considered rings in which addition need not be commutative. The first real structural theorems on nearrings are due to D.W. Blackett [8], who in 1953 extended the theory of simple and semi-simple rings to near-rings. These extensions, which exhibit a great deal of ingenuity, mark, in the author's opinion, the beginning of the first serious attempt to understand near-rings.

Normal stresses at the gelation transition

description: A simple Rouse-type model, generalised to incorporate the effects of chemical crosslinks, is used to obtain a theoretical prediction for the critical behaviour of the normal-stress coefficients $Ψ_{1}$ and $Ψ_{2}$ at the gelation transition. While the exact calculation shows $Ψ_{2}\equiv 0$, a typical result for these types of models, an additional scaling ansatz is used to demonstrate that $Ψ_{1}$ diverges with a critical exponent $\ell = k+z$. Here, $k$ denotes the critical exponent of the shear viscosity and $z$ the exponent governing the divergence of the time scale in the Kohlrausch decay of the shear-stress relaxation function. For crosslinks distributed according to mean-field percolation, this scaling relation yields $\ell =3$, in a accordance with an exact expression for the first normal-stress coefficient based on a replica calculation. Alternatively, using three-dimensional percolation for the crosslink ensemble we find the value $\ell \approx 4.9$. Results on time-dependent normal-stress response are also presented.

Mass spectrometry in shock tunnels
Creators: name: Slade, John Christopher
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1970
Subjects: subject: Mass spectrometry
subject: Shock tubes

description: A continuously sampling mass spectrometer was designed and constructed to detect the onset of driver gas contamination in a free piston shock tunnel. A skimmer, which formed a molecular beam that was ionised and analysed by a quadrupole mass spectrometer, sampled the flow. The design and construction of the vacuum system, the ion source, and the mass spectrometer are discussed. The response time of the apparatus was estimated to be 10 x 10⁻⁶ sec. It was established that a mass spectrometer could be used to detect the onset of helium driver gas contamination in the flow. Experiments were carried out varying the test gas, the initial shock tube pressure, the nozzle throat diameter and the conditions in the compression tube. The results showed that there was a low level of helium contamination very early in the flow and that this was almost independent of the test gas and the nozzle throat diameter. Three different sampling skimmers were used and the results showed that provided that the shock waves were attached to the sides of the skimmer then the flow sampled represented the free stream conditions. Finally, a boundary layer dump was used in the shock tube and this supported the argument that the helium was being introduced into the reflected shock region by the boundary layer.

description: My practice-led research investigates how narrative concepts can be employed to generate abstract compositions in painting, drawing and print. The project challenges the view that narrative and abstract art are mutually exclusive forms by creating abstract artworks that employ narrative concepts and strategies. My research negotiates this by identifying the essential components of narrative and proposing that they can also function as formal elements in an abstract work. This is supported by theories of narrative that present it as a set of structural conventions that mediate and summarise real or imagined events, and make them conform to the material limits of an artwork. The research question is tested exhaustively in the studio using a variety of forms and methods: including digital sketches, pen and ink drawings, scanography, and densely layered paintings. My abstract compositions begin by conforming to the material limits of the flat picture plane, yet by applying narrative concepts they expand to project speculative histories and alternative versions of themselves.
Doping-driven transition to a time-reversal breaking state in the phase diagram of the cuprates

description: Motivated by recent tunnelling and Andreev-reflection experiments, we study the conditions for a quantum transition within the superconducting phase of the cuprates,in which a bulk imaginary (time-reversal breaking) $id_{xy}$component appears in addition to the $d_{x^2 - y^2}$ order parameter. We examine in detail the role of some important physical features of the cuprates.In particular we show that a closed Fermi surface,a bilayer splitting, an orthorhombic distortion,and the proximity to a quantum critical point around optimal doping favor the appearance of the imaginary component. These findings could explain why the mixed $d_{x^2 - y^2}+ id_{xy}$ order parameter is observed in YBCO and LSCO, and suggest that it could appear also in Bi2212. We also predict that, in all cuprates, the mixed state should be stable only in a limited doping region all contained beneath the $d_{x^2 - y^2}$ dome. The behavior of the specific heat at the secondary transition is discussed.

description: Background: In Ireland the role of advanced nurse practitioner has developed significantly since 2001. This evolution is rooted in the growing recognition of the need for highly skilled nursing professionals to address complex healthcare demands and improve patient outcomes. Objective: To scope the landscape and identify the effect of advanced nurse practitioners on healthcare provision in Ireland. Design: A systematic search of eight academic databases (CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, Scopus, Medline and Academic Search Complete, Cochrane, Web of Science) relevant to nursing and health care were performed. Setting(s): Nursing care environment. Participants: Advanced nurse practitioners delivering care. Methods: A pre-defined systematic search of eight academic databases was conducted, and two reviewers screened each study against the inclusion criteria. Additional hand-searching of the reference lists (backward chaining) and citations (forward chaining) of papers that met the inclusion criteria was conducted. The methodological details of each paper were extracted and assessed for quality and rigour utilising the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool and the Authority, Accuracy, Coverage, Objectivity, Date, Significance checklist for appraising grey literature. Data were mapped and analysed onto the six domains of advanced nurse practitioner practice, and the review was reported in line with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Results: All papers included in this review spanned across the last 20 years. In total, 45 papers met the inclusion criteria: quantitative (n = 11), qualitative (n = 15), mixed methods (n = 4), and discussion/clinical cases (n = 15) papers. Advanced nurse practitioners in Ireland contribute substantial impacts on management and team competence, clinical-decision making, leadership and professional scholarship, professional values and conduct, communication and interpersonal competence, and knowledge and cognitive competence domains. Advanced nurse practitioners in Ireland enhance healthcare outcomes through expertise, coordination, and patient-centred approaches, emphasising their critical role in healthcare delivery and system improvements. Conclusions: We have highlighted the active role advanced nurse practitioners play in enhancing patient care, improving management and team coordination, and advancing professional scholarship. These insights have provided a foundation for future research and policy development to optimise the advanced nurse practitioner role.

Enga is the name given them by outsiders, in this case the Melpa of the Mt. Hagen area to the east. No feeling of "Enganess" existed before the Pax Australiana, although it is slowly developing now as the Enga begin to discover that their universe is considerably larger than their own clan territory and that of the people with whom they customarily traded or fought. They have now discovered that there is a large group of people with whom they share one particular feature which at the same time sets them apart from other such large groups: their language, edakáli pií 'people talk' or aé pií 'local talk'.
