description: This article reviews our view on how chiral symmetry, its pattern of breaking and restoration under extreme conditions manifest themselves in the nucleon, nuclei, nuclear matter and dense hadronic matter. Topics treated are nucleon structure in terms of chiral symmetry, "first-principle" (QCD) calculations of the properties of finite nuclei effectuated by embedding the ``standard nuclear physics approach" into the framework of effective field theories of nuclei with predictions for certain astrophysical processes, a reinterpretation of the Brown-Rho (BR) scaling that implements chiral symmetry property of baryon-rich medium à la "vector manifestation" of hidden local symmetry, evidences for BR scaling in nuclear processes at normal nuclear matter density and at higher density, the notion of "broadband equilibration" in heavy-ion processes, and the role of strangeness in the formation of compact stars and their collapse into black-holes. We revisit the "Cheshire-Cat phenomenon" recently revived in the form of "quark-hadron continuity" in mapping low-density structure of hadrons to high-density structure of quarks and gluons and suggest how color-flavor locking in terms of QCD variables and hidden local symmetry in terms of hadronic variables may be connected and how BR scaling could fit into this "continuity" scheme.

description: We offer a guide to dimensional reduction (DRED) in theories with anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking. Evanescent operators proportional to epsilon arise in the bare Lagrangian when it is reduced from d=4 to d= (4-2 epsilon) dimensions. In the course of a detailed diagrammatic calculation, we show that inclusion of these operators is crucial. The evanescent operators conspire to drive the supersymmetry-breaking parameters along anomaly-mediation trajectories across heavy particle thresholds, guaranteeing the ultraviolet insensitivity.

description: In $f(R)$ gravity and Brans-Dicke theory with scalar potentials, we study the structure of neutron stars on a spherically symmetric and static background for two equations of state: SLy and FPS. In massless BD theory, the presence of a scalar coupling $Q$ with matter works to change the star radius in comparison to General Relativity, while the maximum allowed mass of neutron stars is hardly modified for both SLy and FPS equations of state. In Brans-Dicke theory with the massive potential $V(ϕ)=m^2 ϕ^2/2$, where $m^2$ is a positive constant, we show the difficulty of realizing neutron star solutions with a stable field profile due to the existence of an exponentially growing mode outside the star. As in $f(R)$ gravity with the $R^2$ term, this property is related to the requirement of extra boundary conditions of the field at the surface of star. For the self-coupling potential $V(ϕ)=λϕ^4/4$, this problem can be circumvented by the fact that the second derivative $V_{,ϕϕ}=3λϕ^2$ approaches 0 at spatial infinity. In this case, we numerically show the existence of neutron star solutions for both SLy and FPS equations of state and discuss how the mass-radius relation is modified as compared to General Relativity.

Resummation Studies on Vector Meson Decays and Chiral Symmetry Spontaneously Breaking in Chiral Constituent Quark Model

description: We study on-shell decays of light vector meson resonances $ρ$, $K^*$ and $ϕ$ in the framework of chiral constituent quark model using resummation calculations. Such studies are necessary for showing that chiral dynamics works well at this energy scale. The effective action is derived by proper vertex method, where resummation of all orders of momentum expansion is accomplished. The loop effects of pseudoscalar meson are also taken into account, which play an important role at this energy scale. The numerical results agree well with the experimental data. A new method to explore the Chiral Symmetry Spontaneously Breaking (CSSB) is proposed. It is found that the unitarity of the effective meson theory resulted from resummation derivations demands an upper-limit to the momentum of vector meson. This upper-limit, being critical point, is just the energy scale of CSSB, and is found to be flavor-dependent.

description: This article considers a model formulation and an adaptive observer design for the simultaneous estimation of the state of charge and crossover flux in disproportionation redox flow batteries. This novel nonaqueous battery chemistry allows a simple isothermal lumped parameter model to be formulated. The transport of vanadium through the porous separator is a key unknown function of battery variables and it is approximated in the space of continuous functions. The state and parameter observer adaptation laws are derived using Lyapunov analysis applied to the estimation error, the stability and convergence of which are proved. Numerical values of observer gains are calculated by solving a polytopic linear matrix inequality and equality problem via convex optimization. The performance of this design is evaluated on a laboratory flow battery prototype, and it is shown that the crossover flux can be considered a linear function of state of charge for this battery configuration during self-discharge.

description: The utilization of DMSO or Ph2SO/(COBr)2 or (COCl)2 for the bromination or chlorination of arenes has been explored. Notably, monobromination of activated arenes can be achieved with high regioselectivity using the combination of dimethyl sulfoxide and oxalyl bromide. Bromodimethylsulfonium bromide generated in situ was proposed to be the active species for bromination. In contrast, the practicality of chlorination of arenes with DMSO or Ph2SO/(COCl)2 is limited due to production of the formation of by-products such as aryldimethylsulfonium chlorides or dichlorinated arenes.

description: In the early universe, neutrinos decouple from equilibrium with the electromagnetic plasma at a temperature which is only slightly higher than the temperature where electrons and positrons annihilate. Therefore neutrinos to some extent share in the entropy transfer from e^+e^- to other species, and their final temperature is slightly higher than the canonical value T_nu = (4/11)^{1/3} T_gamma. We study neutrino decoupling in the early universe with effects of neutrino oscillations included, and find that the change in neutrino energy density from e^+ e^- annihilations can be about 2-3% higher if oscillation are included. The primordial helium abundance can be changed by as much as 1.5 x 10^-4 by neutrino oscillations.

description: We study tree-level celestial amplitudes in Yang-Mills theory -- Mellin transforms of multi-gluon scattering amplitudes that convert them into the correlators of conformal primary fields on two-dimensional celestial sphere. By using purely field-theoretical methods, we show that the soft conformal limit of celestial amplitudes, in which one of the primary field operators associated to gauge bosons becomes a dimension one current, is dominated by the contributions of low-energy soft particles. This result confirms conclusions reached by using Yang-Mills theory formulated in curvilinear coordinates, as pioneered by Strominger. By using well-known collinear limits of Yang-Mills amplitudes, we derive the OPE rules for the primary fields and the holomorphic currents arising in the conformally soft limit. The Ward identities following from OPE have the same form as the identities derived by using soft theorems.

Fertility and child mortality in agricultural households of rural Ethiopia : the case of Arssi administrative region
Creators: name: Seleshi, Kebede
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1986
Subjects: subject: Fertility, Human Case studiesEthiopia
subject: Children Mortality Case studiesEthiopia

description: This study has attempted to analyze levels, patterns and differentials of fertility, and child mortality in agricultural households of Arssi administrative region. The study population consisted of 2945 women aged 15 to 49 years, who were categorized according to the social and demographic aspects of their lives which were thought to have an effect on their fertility and mortality of their children. It was found that fertility levels among farmers in rural Arssi region were very high. The analysis of fertility differentials indicated that 48 per cent of variation in fertility among women in Arssi was explained by the independent variables considered in the study with the exception of ethnicity. The Multiple Classification Analysis showed that ethnicity had no effect on fertility. In Chapter Pour, the results obtained using the Indirect Method of Analysis showed that the probability of Infant Mortality( oQl ) was exceedingly high when compared with the probability of Child Mortality( 1Q4 ). This is thought to be related to the early age at which solid foods are introduced to infants. Also, the unavailability of medication in rural Arssi might be a possible explanation for the observed high Infant Mortality in the 1980 survey population. It is also shown that more Muslims than Christians, more Oromo women than Amhara women and more illiterate women than literate women experienced a high level of Infant and Child Mortality.

description: We investigate a scenario with two four-branes embedded in six dimensions. When the metric is periodic and compact in one of the dimensions parallel to the branes, the value of the effective cosmological constant for the remaining five dimensions can assume a variety of values, determined by the dependence of the metric on the sixth dimension. The picture that emerges resembles the Randall-Sundrum model but with an extra warped dimension that allows the usual brane-bulk fine tuning to be satisfied without finely tuning any of the parameters in the underlying six dimensional theory. Although the action contains terms with four derivatives of the metric, we show that when the branes have a finite, natural thickness, such terms have only a small effect on the Randall-Sundrum structure. The presence of these four derivative terms also allows a configuration that resembles that produced by a domain wall but which results from gravity alone.

description: We present an unsupervised end-to-end training scheme where we discover discrete subword units from speech without using any labels. The discrete subword units are learned under an ASR-TTS autoencoder reconstruction setting, where an ASR-Encoder is trained to discover a set of common linguistic units given a variety of speakers, and a TTS-Decoder trained to project the discovered units back to the designated speech. We propose a discrete encoding method, Multilabel-Binary Vectors (MBV), to make the ASR-TTS autoencoder differentiable. We found that the proposed encoding method offers automatic extraction of speech content from speaker style, and is sufficient to cover full linguistic content in a given language. Therefore, the TTS-Decoder can synthesize speech with the same content as the input of ASR-Encoder but with different speaker characteristics, which achieves voice conversion (VC). We further improve the quality of VC using adversarial training, where we train a TTS-Patcher that augments the output of TTS-Decoder. Objective and subjective evaluations show that the proposed approach offers strong VC results as it eliminates speaker identity while preserving content within speech. In the ZeroSpeech 2019 Challenge, we achieved outstanding performance in terms of low bitrate.

description: Weather and climate are truly arresting in Australia's far north. They set the 'Top End' - the northernmost parts of the Northern Territory - apart; not only from 'temperate' Australia, but also from other tropical locales. Weather and climate are integral to the experience of the place. Authoritative histories of the Northern Territory, with justification, routinely discuss its weather and climate. They indicate the ineluctable physical parameters that bound human activity in this region and which also set the stage for the dramas of human history played out there. In this study weather and climate are the drama. They are the characters, and they are the plot. Elements of the great aerial ocean in which the 'Top End' is immersed - rain, wind and heat - are studied on a variety of time scales. Events are examined: their intensity, duration, chronology and patterns in time. Just as nature and culture are inextricably entwined, so these elements cannot intelligibly be amputated from human experience. To paraphrase US environmental historian William Cronen, this is a study of stories about stories about weather and climate. The third dimension of this history is its interrogation of the cultural biases and philosophical assumptions both underlying and revealed by these stories about weather and climate. However, this work focuses on one constellation of encounters and responses: those of the colonial invaders. The ideas and (mis)understandings of this group have determined how weather and climate have been seen since colonial times. Now, in the Anthropocene, as the effects of anthropogenic climate change unfold, this understanding is pivotal in dealing with this looming problem. This study is a history of a plausible, coherent misunderstanding. It is also a history of the northernmost region of the Northern Territory, a history refracted through a different prism to those of its worthy predecessors. Here the subject is the colonial encounter with tropical skies, science in colonial and northern Australia and experience-based efforts to grasp something so foreign to people from temperate environs. It reveals how western ideas of time have distorted understandings of weather and climate. It demonstrates the poor fit of received ideas of seasonality and climate to historical experience. Reflecting on important contingencies of this place between 1800 and 1942, this history situates human experience in the Northern Territory firmly in the global currents of both environmental history and intellectual history.

description: Serverless computing has emerged as a transformative approach in cloud architecture, enabling

organizations to build and deploy applications without managing the underlying infrastructure.

While serverless architectures offer significant benefits in terms of scalability, cost-efficiency, and

development speed, they also introduce unique security challenges. This paper explores the

security considerations specific to serverless architectures in Azure, focusing on the strategies and

tools available to protect cloud-native applications. By examining the potential vulnerabilities

and providing best practices for securing serverless functions, this paper aims to offer a

comprehensive guide to maintaining robust security in a serverless Azure environment.
Aid in an island microstate : the case of Niue
Creators: name: Matheson, Trevor Donald Pare
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1986
Subjects: subject: Economic assistance Niue
subject: Niue Economic conditions

description: This study seeks to understand and explain the aid-dependent condition of Niue, how it arrived at that condition, and what are the implications of that condition for aid policy makers in Niue and elsewhere. The study uses contributions to the literature on small island economies which attributes the present economic state of small island countries to the forces of colonialism and peripheralism. Many development agencies have subsequently argued small island countries should receive high levels of aid. In order to test the validity of this theory to Niue, the record of economic development since 1900 is reconstructed. Public sector accounts, trade statistics, development project records, employment data, migration statistics, and information on natural and extraneous events are collated and graphed to demonstrate important trends. Although it is not possible to investigate the relationships statistically, the patterns are seen to be closely related. The data reveal that relatively high levels of aid have had few positive effects in terms of increasing productivity. Niue has developed an overwhelming dependence on imports for consumption, a large and dominant public service coincident with a high and constant rate of emigration resulting in partial depopulation. These findings support the theory espoused in the small island economies literature. A major weakness of the theory, however, is its preoccupation with the macroeconomy and neglect of the micro-economy. In a bid to overcome some of the limitations of the macro-approach, a detailed case study is made of the 284 member community of Mutalau village. The study shows th at income distribution is heavily skewed in favour of government salaried employees who head a three tier social structure. A comparison of socioeconomic indicators, access to public services and labour arrangements confirms that substantial differences exist between the three tiers. A case study of three families draws links between aid and emigration. The micro-study shows that Mutalau has experienced differentiation of socioeconomic groups; partly as a result of policies employed to allocate aid, and partly as a result of differential population decline. One result has been the stratification of the society into a hierarchy of groups based on varying claims to aid subsidised government employment which has replaced land as the basic resource in the village. A major lesson learnt from the Niue study is th at present aid policies are endangering the very attributes aid policy makers wish to foster: egalitarianism, income equality, homogeneity and self-reliance. The thesis presents evidence for the case for a serious re-examination of present aid policies towards small island countries.

description: The leptogenesis is studied in the neutrino mass matrix with two zeros, which reduces the number of independent phases of the CP violation. These texture zeros are decomposed into the Dirac neutrino mass matrix and the right-handed Majorana one in the see-saw mechanism. It is found that there are six textures for the Dirac neutrino mass matrix, among which one texture with three zeros has three phases, three textures with four zeros have two phases, and two textures with five zeros have only one phase in the basis with the real right-handed Majorana mass matrix. The relation between the leptogenesis and the low energy CP violation is discussed in typical textures. It is remarked that the leptogenesis is linked strongly with the CP violation in the neutrino oscillations. The predicted baryon asymmetry of the universe is consistent with the observed value.

description: For the envisioned precision measurement of the W-boson mass at present and future lepton and hadron colliders it is crucial that the theoretical predictions for the underlying production processes are well under control. We briefly describe the status of the predictions for the W-pair-production processes at e+ e- colliders, e+ e- -> W+ W- -> 4f, and for W- and Z-boson production at pp and p anti-p colliders, pp, p anti-p -> W -> l nu_l and pp, p anti-p -> Z,gamma -> l+ l- (l=e,mu). We also discuss the theoretical improvements needed to meet the experimental accuracies one hopes to achieve in future experiments.

Devil is in the Edges: Learning Semantic Boundaries from Noisy Annotations

description: We tackle the problem of semantic boundary prediction, which aims to identify pixels that belong to object(class) boundaries. We notice that relevant datasets consist of a significant level of label noise, reflecting the fact that precise annotations are laborious to get and thus annotators trade-off quality with efficiency. We aim to learn sharp and precise semantic boundaries by explicitly reasoning about annotation noise during training. We propose a simple new layer and loss that can be used with existing learning-based boundary detectors. Our layer/loss enforces the detector to predict a maximum response along the normal direction at an edge, while also regularizing its direction. We further reason about true object boundaries during training using a level set formulation, which allows the network to learn from misaligned labels in an end-to-end fashion. Experiments show that we improve over the CASENet backbone network by more than 4% in terms of MF(ODS) and 18.61% in terms of AP, outperforming all current state-of-the-art methods including those that deal with alignment. Furthermore, we show that our learned network can be used to significantly improve coarse segmentation labels, lending itself as an efficient way to label new data.

description: We calculate the new physics effects on the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon in the framework of the two Higgs doublet model. We predict an upper bound for the lepton flavor violating coupling, which is responsible for the point like interaction between muon and tau, by using the uncertainty in the experimental result of the muon anomalous magnetic moment. We show that the upper bound predicted is more stringent compared to the one which is obtained by using the experimental result of the muon electric dipole moment

description: We consider all possible scalar bilinears, which couple to two fermions of the standard model. The various baryon and lepton number violating couplings allowed by these exotic scalars are studied. We then discuss which ones are constrained by limits on proton decay (to a lepton and a meson as well as to three leptons), neutron-antineutron oscillations, and neutrinoless double beta decay.

The bilum is the mother of us all : an interpretative analysis of the social value of the Telefol looped string bag
Creators: name: MacKenzie, Maureen A
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1986
Subjects: subject: String craft
subject: Ethnology Papua New Guinea

description: This thesis examines the production and use of the looped string bag among the Telefol speakers of Papua New Guinea with emphasis on the interpretation of the string bag as a useful and socially meaningful product. It analyses the practical activities in which men and women engage in in relation to the bilum, and the ways in which it is used within various social contexts to fulfill their different interests. The background to Telefol life is introduced in terms of the distinction between women and men, which encodes the wider themes of the differentiation between nurturing and killing. These dimensions are seen as polarities which frame Telefol social, economic and religious life within the village, and thus the contexts in which the string bag is made and used. Yet it is made clear that the nature of these polarities is also ambiguous. In introducing the object of analysis a detailed visual account of all the types of string bag produced by the Telefol is provided. The use of indigenous labels and categories clearly points to the fact that women, who make the ‘principal form’ of string bag within the domestic realm, classify the bags according to construction processes and correlated looping techniques, while men reclassify according to the elaborations which they add within the realm of the exclusive male cult. This evident gender differentiation provides the basis for the structure of the rest of the thesis. The analysis then focuses on the most characteristic Telefol string bag, and examines the way in which it is constructed as a cultural product. Equal emphasis is placed on the role of the manufacturer in material technical production, and the role of the recipient in extending the potential of the bag through use, and thus completing its production. The morphological, functional and metaphorical attributes of the string bag are all examined and the bag is shown to be a multivalent artefact which is differently perceived according to particular social or ritual context, and the age and gender of the interpreter. The Telefol statement ‘the bilum is the mother of us all' is taken as the key to interpretation. The concluding discussion presents a consideration of the ways in which the bilum is used to differentiate between women and men by emphasising their antithetical natures and polarised activities, and yet simultaneously to highlight their identity of interest in the combined task of social reproduction and cosmic regeneration. The opposing notions of gender antithesis and the interdependence and integration of the sexes are both articulated through the string bag. It is argued that the Telefol string bag is a medium for both women and men to confront dissonance in the paradoxical nature of their relationship.

description: Previous studies have shown that ferroptosis is associated with the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC). Therefore, this study aimed to identify key ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) associated with the diagnosis of UC. UC-related expression datasets were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. First, Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) was used to identify UC-related genes (UCRGs). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between normal and UC groups were screened in GSE87466, and DEGs were subjected to an intersection analysis with FRGs and UCRGs to obtain ferroptosis-related DEGs (FR DEGs). Then a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed for FR DEGs. The hub genes were extracted based on the degree, Maximum Neighborhood Component (MNC), closeness, and Maximal Clique Centrality (MCC). Biomarkers with diagnostic values were screened by support vector machine (SVM) and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithms. Next, the infiltration of immune cells was compared between UC and normal groups, and the correlation between different immune cells and diagnostic genes was analyzed. The biological functions, classical pathways, and intermolecular interaction networks of diagnostic genes were characterized utilizing ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA). Finally, a TF-mRNA network was constructed and potential small-molecule compounds were screened. Thirty-six FR DEGs were obtained, and these were enriched in biological processes such as positive regulation of cytokine production, cytokine-mediated signalling pathway, long-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase activity, etc. Among 18 hub genes, five genes (ALOX5, TIMP1, TNFAIP3, SOCS1, DUOX2) were captured with diagnostic values for UC, and they displayed significant differences between UC and normal groups. Sixteen immune cell infiltrates were significantly different between UC and normal groups, such as activated dendritic cells and resting dendritic cells. TNFAIP3 and ALOX5 were positively correlated with neutrophils, and TIMP1, SOCS1, ALOX5, and DUOX2 were negatively correlated with M2 macrophages. IPA showed that diagnostic genes were related to 43 function modules and activated 17 pathways. The constructed TF-mRNA regulatory network comprised three diagnostic genes and 17 differentially expressed TFs. Potential small-molecule compounds including helveticoside and cymarin were identified. Our findings yielded several promising FRGs for UC, providing a scientific reference for further studies on the pathogenesis of UC.
