description: The decisive role of magnetic anisotropy even in systems with small anisotropy is illustrated for the honeycomb-layered antiferromagnets The decisive role of magnetic anisotropy in honeycomb layered Li$_3$Ni$_2$SbO$_6$ and Na$_3$Ni$_2$SbO$_6$ with $A$ = Li and Na. Both systems evolve long range magnetic order below $T_{\rm N}$ = 14 and 16.5~K, respectively. The magnetic phase diagrams obtained from static magnetisation studies up to 15~T imply competing antiferromagnetic phases and a tricritical point at $T_{\rm N}$. The phase boundaries are visible in the dynamic response of the antiferromagnetic resonance modes, too, which investigation by means of high frequency/high field electron spin resonance enables precise determination of magnetic anisotropy. The anisotropy gap amounts to $Δ= 360 \pm 2$~GHz in Na$_3$Ni$_2$SbO$_6$ while in Li$_3$Ni$_2$SbO$_6$ orthorhombicity is associated with $Δ= 198 \pm 4$ and $218 \pm 4$~GHz. Above $T_{\rm N}$, the data imply short-range antiferromagnetic order up to at least 80~K. The data suggest a crucial role of anisotropy for selecting the actual spin structure at $B=0$~T.
Coherence, Interference and Visibility

description: The interference observed for a quanton, traversing more than one path, is believed to characterize its wave nature. Conventionally, the sharpness of interference has been quantified by its visibility or contrast, as defined in optics. Based on this visibility, wave-particle duality relations have been formulated for two-path interference. However, as one generalizes the situation to multi-path interference, it is found that conventional interference visibility is not a good quantifier. A recently introduced measure of quantum coherence has been shown to be a good quantifier of the wave nature. The subject of quantum coherence, in relation to the wave nature of quantons and to interference visibility, is reviewed here. It is argued that coherence can be construed as a more general form of interference visibility, if the visibility is measured in a different manner, and not as contrast.

description: We demonstrate that a future high-energy electron-proton collider like THERA could largely extend the current HERA program in jet photoproduction of testing QCD and determining the partonic structure of the proton and the photon. Depending on the electron beam energy (250-500 GeV) and the collider mode ($ep$ or $γp$), the range in the hard transverse energy scale of the jets could be increased by a factor of 2-3 and the reach in the momentum fraction $x$ of the partons in the proton or photon by at least one order of magnitude. It would thus become possible to check the determinations of the gluon density in the proton obtained in deep-inelastic scattering experiments, to measure the gluon density in the photon down to low values of $x$, and to study the QCD dynamics in multi-jet events.

Valuation of derivative securities using stochastic analytic and numerical methods
Creators: name: Heath, David
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Derivative securities Mathematical models
subject: Stochastic processes

description: This thesis details methods and procedures to compute prices and hedging strategies for derivative securities in financial mathematics using stochastic analytic, numerical and variance reduction techniques. Results are obtained on explicit hedge ratio representations for non-smooth payoff functionals and mult idimensional diffusion processes with stopping boundaries. These methods are used to determine hedge ratios for the maximum of several assets and lookback options. A number of powerful variance reduction techniques are described. These include the use of measure transformations, discrete versions of importance sampling estimators, control variates based on Ito integral representations, stratified sampling and quasi Monte Carlo. For many of these techniques explicit formulas for the variance of the resulting estimators are obtained. Pricing and hedging procedures are developed for a class of foreign exchange barrier options under stochastic volatility. These procedures are applied to the calculation of down-and-out call options for the Heston model. A general methodology for pricing discount bonds and options on discount bonds for multifactor term structure models is established. This approach is used for both European and American style securities for a version of the two-factor Fong and Vasicek model, extended to include time dependent parameters. For American pricing an exact representation of the early exercise premium is derived for a class of one-factor models. This enables both American option prices and the corresponding two-dimensional critical exercise boundary to be computed for the extended Fong and Vasicek model.

description: Geometric discord, a measure of quantumness of bipartite system, captures minimal nonlocal effects of a quantum state due to locally invariant von Neumann projective measurements. Original version of this measure is suffered by the local ancilla problem. In this article, we propose a new version of geometric discord using affinity. This quantity satisfies all criteria of a good measure of quantum correlation of the bipartite system and resolves local ancilla problem of Hilbert-Schmidt norm based discord. We evaluate analytically the proposed quantity for both pure and mixed states. For an arbitrary pure state, it is shown that affinity based geometric discord equal to geometric measure of entanglement. Further, we obtain a lower bound of this measure for m \times n dimensional arbitrary mixed state and a closed formula of proposed version of geometric discord for 2 \times n dimensional mixed state is obtained. Finally, as an illustration, we have studied the nonlocality of Bell diagonal state, isotropic and Werner states.

description: We show that a system of quarks interacting with chiral fields provides a physical representation of a ``non-standard'' time reversal for particle multiplets proposed by Weinberg. As an application, we argue that, if the internal structure of hadrons is described by a chiral lagrangian, the so-called time-reversal-odd quark distribution functions might not be forbidden by time-reversal invariance.

China's foreign exchange regime and its impact on exports and growth
Creators: name: Gao, Xiao Hang
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1993
Subjects: subject: Foreign exchange China
subject: Exports China

description: Exchange rate devaluation has been used as a policy instrument to promote China's exports in recent years. The consequences of devaluation are affected by foreign trade and exchange controls and the macroeconomic environment. This study analyses the characteristics of the Chinese foreign exchange regime and macroeconomic policy. Due to inflation and foreign trade and exchange controls, official exchange rate devaluation was unsuccessful during 1985-90 in terms of the real effective exchange rates measured in this study. Comparing the real effective exchange rates for exports with imports, economic incentives were still biased towards import substitution. Technology and productivity differentials between China's export and nonexport sectors and beneficial externalitites generated by export production and import activities are investigated to analyse the effect of an exportlimport expansion on the economy following a devaluation/import liberalisation. Empirical results from this study suggest higher marginal and total factor productivities and technological progress in the export sector than in production for the domestic market and positive externalities from export and import activities. A computable general equilibrium model of the Chinese exchange rate regime 1 developed to analyse the short-run and long-run effects of exchange rate devaluation. Simulated results from this model indicate that the impact of devaluation on the Chinese economy is twofold. The model points to a number of major beneficial effect on both macroeconomic and sectoral variables, including a decreasing gap between the secondary market exchange rate and the official rate, an increase in two way trade, an improvement in the trade balance and real GDP and absorption growth, an increase in real wage rates and a decline in import prices. On the other hand, simulated results also show that a devaluation results in a rise in the relative price level and thus affects international competitiveness. Simulated results indicate that the problems arising from devaluation can be reduced by the introduction of labour intensive production techniques and measures to improve capital productivity. Another approach involves total factor product,ivity increases which flow from export expansIon. The results also demonstrate that appropriate macroeconomic policies are essential to achieving favourable consequences for devaluation. On the basis of quantitative and descriptive analyses, policy implications are drawn out for the Chinese economy, including economic liberalisation, structural adjustment and reform measures to achieve macro and micro dynamic efficiency.

description: In order to benchmark the 3-dimensional calculation of the atmospheric neutrino flux based on the FLUKA Monte Carlo code, muon fluxes in the atmosphere have been computed and compared with data taken by the CAPRICE94 experiment at ground level and at different altitudes in the atmosphere. For this purpose only two additions have been introduced with respect to the neutrino flux calculation: the specific solar modulation corresponding to the period of data taking and the bending of charged particles in the atmosphere. Results are in good agreement with experimental data, although improvements in the model are possible. At this level, however, it is not possible to disentangle the interplay between the primary flux and the interaction model.

description: Si nanopillars of less than 50 nm diameter have been irradiated in a helium ion microscope with a focused Ne$^+$ beam. The morphological changes due to ion beam irradiation at room temperature and elevated temperatures have been studied with the transmission electron microscope. We found that the shape changes of the nanopillars depend on irradiation-induced amorphization and thermally driven dynamic annealing. While at room temperature, the nanopillars evolve to a conical shape due to ion-induced plastic deformation and viscous flow of amorphized Si, simultaneous dynamic annealing during the irradiation at elevated temperatures prevents amorphization which is necessary for the viscous flow. Above the critical temperature of ion-induced amorphization, a steady decrease of the diameter was observed as a result of the dominating forward sputtering process through the nanopillar sidewalls. Under these conditions the nanopillars can be thinned down to a diameter of 10 nm in a well-controlled manner. A deeper understanding of the pillar thinning process has been achieved by a comparison of experimental results with 3D computer simulations based on the binary collision approximation.
The cotton textile industry as a case study of the planning of economic development in China, 1949-1961

description: This dissertation is concerned with planning in China, 1949-61, and examines the cotton textile industry in order to reveal the actual operation of planning. The textile industry is discussed, for example its important role as an accumulator of capital and foreign exchange is considered, but this is not the main focus of attention. The variety of significant problems involved in the courageous attempt to establish a system of comprehensive planning before the Great Leap Forward is disclosed. Some of these, such as problems of allocation between different geographical regions, ownership systems, and mills of varying size and technological levels, are to some extent specific to the textile industry. Many of the problems in planning were, however, of general application throughout the economy. Various micro-planning problems are discussed. These occurred mainly at the level of the enterprise, and included poor collection of statistical information, problems of organising and running the unit, and a disproportionate growth in the number of staff. Numerous problems in incentives, sanctions and supervision methods, in order to encourage the managers to strive to fulfill the plans, were part of the syndrome. The responses of the managers to the plans they received are considered. The features of managerial behaviour in the Soviet Union known as simulation and the seeking of safety factors are shown to have been widely used in the Chinese cotton textile industry, but blat was apparently less pervasive. Finally, the inability to implement properly a system of comprehensive planning, together with the increasing rigidities involved, is established as an important factor in the change in the strategy of development and the emergence of the Great Leap Forward. The disruptive effects of this movement on the cotton textile industry are then traced.

description: We present a hydrodynamic study of a monolayer of squirmer model microswimmers confined to a boundary by strong gravity using the simulation method of multi-particle collision dynamics. The squirmers interact with each other via their self-generated hydrodynamic flow fields and thereby form a variety of fascinating dynamic states when density and squirmer type are varied. Weak pushers, neutral squirmers, and pullers have an upright orientation. With their flow fields they push neighbors away and thereby form a hydrodynamic Wigner fluid at lower densities. Furthermore, states of fluctuating chains and trimers, of kissing, and at large densities a global cluster exist. Finally, pushers at all densities can tilt against the wall normal and their in-plane velocities align to show swarming. It turns into chaotic swarming for strong pushers at high densities. We characterize all these states quantitatively.

Rediscovering Western Tibet : Gonpa, Chorten and the continuity of practice with a Tibetan Buddhist community in the Indian Himalaya
Creators: name: Stutchbury, Elizabeth Anne
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1991

description: The thesis studies the continuity and revitalisation of Tibetan Buddhism of the Drukpa Kargyu tradition in the district of Karzha in Lahul, Himachal Pradesh (India). The study is centred on the religious community of Kardang Gonpa and on the associated village of Kardang. Chapter 1 presents Karzha and Lahul as seen by the Indian administratration. This 'external' description is further developed in Section I of the thesis, with the historical survey and presentation of the perspective of the outside observer. After this 'external' description, Section I introduces the 'internal' perspective, the sacred geography of Karzha Khandroling ('Karzha, Land of Dakinis'), and considers the relationship between the two perspectives. Section II presents descriptions of the village, the households which make it up, and the cycle of agricultural and calendrical rituals which are performed there. Attention then turns, in Chapter 5, to the gonpa and the links between its practitioners and the village households from which they come. The origins of the gonpa early this century, in a period of religious revitalisation stemming from the activity of the East Tibetan teacher, Shakya Shri (1853-1919), and his Karzhapa disciples, Kardangpa Norbu (1885-1947) and Kardangpa Kunga (18837-1967), are narrated. A more recent period of revitalisation, associated with the ritual and teaching activities of Shakya Shri's refugee grandson, and continued after the latter's death by his teaching assistant, Gegan Khyentse Gyatso, and his son, Se Rinpoche, is explored in Section III. Chapter 7, which focuses on the building of a chorten (stupa) in Kardang village during the period of fieldwork, is both indicatative of this revitalisation and demonstrates the relationships between village and gonpa. Section IV considers the stories told about the origins of Kardang Gonpa in the light both of stories about earlier religious teachers in Karzha, particularly the early Drukpa teacher Gotsangpa, and of the general Tibetan tradition of namthar or hagiography. Such narratives play a vital part in maintaining Karzhapa ways of thinking and behaving and so validate the continuity of the Drukpa Kargyu tradition of Buddhism, which allows the people of Kardang to respond in a positive and constructive way to processes of change, 'development' and incorporation into the modem state of India.

description: The problem considered was that of the behaviour of a non - equilibrium flow behind a shock wave supported by a convex curved body in a hyper- ­ velocity freestream . A simple gas model was assured, taking into account the dissociation only of asymmetrical diatomic molecule , whilst the temperature in the shock layer was assumed to be small compared with the characteristic temperature of dissociation . The curvature of the stream ­ lines produces a negative pressure gradient along a streamline and the effect of this pressure gradient upon the reaction was studied. An approximate analytic solution was obtained, which shows that properties along a streamline are consistent with the assumption that the reaction proceeds independently of the pressure gradient initially , and after a short distance the gas may be considered non - reacting and the properties given by perfect gas relationships. The result was verified both with exact numerical integration of the relevant equations , and with some experimental results from a hyper velocity nitrogen flow over a circular cylinder.

description: We calculate the medium modifications of the rho pi pi vertex in a relativistic hadronic framework, incorporating nucleons and Delta(1232) isobars. We find a substantial increase of the rho pi pi coupling, dominated by processes where the Delta is excited. The coupling depends significantly on the virtuality of the rho, which is related to analytic properties of the vertex function. We analyze the general case of a non-zero three-momentum of the rho with respect to the nuclear medium, and evaluate the resulting widths and spectral strength in the transverse and longitudinal channels for the rho -> pi pi decay. These widths are used to obtain the dilepton yields from rho decays in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.

An analysis of theoretical and applied issues in fiscal federalism and local public economics

Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1992
Subjects: subject: Intergovernmental fiscal relations
subject: Finance, Public

subject: Externalities (Economics)

description: This Thesis is a study of theoretical and applied issues in fiscal federalism and local public economics. The main theoretical issues to be examined include: (i) the welfare and provision implications of local public good externalities; (ii) the break-down of neutrality of lump-sum transfers when regions generate externalities and have different populations and marginal costs; (iii) the fly-paper effect; (iv) the inducement for independent political entities to federate; (v) the rationale for redistributional transfers and the importance of certain federal institutions; (vi) tax competition and tax exporting; and (vii) the implications of considering the interaction between free internal migration and public good externalities in federal economies. The applied issues relate to Australian fiscal federalism where two questions are analysed. They are: (i) why has Australia developed distinctive equalising procedures and institutional mechanisms for transferring income between states? and (ii) why has there been a relatively extreme degree of centralisation of taxation powers? Although there are many ideas to emerge from the Thesis, three of the main conclusions are: (i) there may be benefits for independent political entities to cooperate in the provision of public goods and taxation of citizen-voters; (ii) diversity of preferences constrains the degree to which such cooperation may occur by imposing 'uniformity' costs on some of the participants in cooperative behaviour; and (iii) an important role for income transfers and institutional mechanisms in federal systems is to redistribute these costs and benefits to make cooperative behaviour more attractive.

description: Mechanical testing of micropillars is a field that involves new physics, as the behaviour of materials is non-deterministic at this scale. To better understand their deformation mechanisms we applied 3-dimensional high angular resolution electron backscatter diffraction (3D HR-EBSD) to reveal the dislocation distribution in deformed single crystal copper micropillars. Identical micropillars (6 um x 6 um x 18 um in size) were fabricated by focused ion beam (FIB) and compressed at room temperature. The deformation process was stopped at different strain levels (~1%, 4% and 10%) to study the evolution of geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs). Serial slicing with FIB and consecutive HR-EBSD mapping on the (100) side was used to create and compare 3-dimensional maps of the deformed volumes. Average GND densities were calculated for each deformation step. Total dislocation density calculation based on X-ray synchrotron measurements were conducted on the $4\%$ pillar to compare dislocation densities determined by the two complementary methods. Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images were captured on the 10% pillar to visualize the actual dislocation structure. With the 3D HR-EBSD technique we have studied the geometrically necessary dislocations evolving during the deformation of micropillars. An intermediate behaviour was found at the studied sample size between bulk and nanoscale plasticity: A well-developed dislocation cell structure built up upon deformation but with significantly lower GND density than in bulk. This explains the simultaneous observation of strain hardening and size effect at this scale.

An additional alternative method for missing data was examined, which coded direct observation missing values as task performed (1) versus task not performed (0) in the base case. These alternative methods for imputing missing data were compared with the results, which is demonstrated in the tables containing the facility composite scores and Spearman rank correlations.

description: In this thesis, I present a body of work that was completed during my Master of Philosophy in Applied Epidemiology (MAE) placement at the Communicable Disease Control Section at the ACT Health Protection Service from March 2014 to November 2015. I discuss my experiences as an MAE scholar and my role in the day-to-day activities of the section, including the surveillance of notifiable diseases and my participation in the response to several acute public health events. I present the findings from an epidemiological study, describing the asbestos exposures of people diagnosed with mesothelioma in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). I describe and evaluate a surveillance system that I helped establish, which monitors passengers returning from an Ebola-affected country in response to the epidemic in West Africa. An evaluation found that the system was able to assess and monitor returned travellers in a timely manner. I investigated a foodborne outbreak of gastroenteritis at a large function in the ACT. Enterotoxin producing Clostridium perfringens was isolated from a sample of butter chicken consumed at the function. This was consistent with the epidemiological investigation that showed eating the butter chicken was associated with illness. This resulted in the preparation of an article for publication. I present findings from a study that describes trends in pathology testing and test positivity for sexually transmissible infections in the ACT, 2003–2012. There has been a dramatic increase in notification rates for STIs, such as chlamydia and gonorrhoea. Analysis of ACT data show that for the period studied, test positivity was relatively stable. The study demonstrates that it is feasible to utilise pathology testing data to better understand notification-based surveillance data. I presented the findings in an oral presentation at the Communicable Disease Conference 2015 in Brisbane. To demonstrate competencies around peer-led teaching, I prepared a ‘Lesson From the Field’ on choosing the right statistical test and conducted a teaching session for first year MAEs on the appropriate use and interpretation of p-values and confidence intervals. In summary, this thesis describes my experiences in the MAE program, and presents the findings of several epidemiological studies. The work presented in this thesis supported the public health response to a number of high-profile health events and helped to improve our understanding of communicable disease surveillance in the ACT.
Transhumanism, our pluralist moral duties to the poor and how to effectively address global poverty

description: Prominent transhumanists Julian Savulescu, Ingmar Persson, and Thomas Douglas argue that moral enhancement could solve global poverty. They argue that by engineering individuals with better moral dispositions, they will have better motives, and therefore the will to act more morally. These morally enhanced individuals will more effectively discharge their duties regarding global poverty, thus leading to more rapid poverty alleviation. In this paper I will present an account of the moral duties wealthy individuals hold to the global poor. These moral duties are not singular (either to do no harm or to provide assistance), but rather are complex and pluralist, and dependent on the position of the agent with regards to the global poor. Further, I will argue that the moral enhancement some transhumanists are envisioning to alleviate poverty fails to recognize the pluralist duties wealthy individuals have regarding poverty alleviation. In fact, moral enhancement would be counterproductive by virtue of i) failing to recognize our various moral reasons to alleviate global poverty ii) failing to allow individuals to evaluate their moral duties to others, therefore to effectively discharge them, and iii) that failing to recognize i) & ii) would bring about morally undesirable consequences; ineffective poverty alleviation and enhanced-individuals’ loss of autonomy. Therefore, even if we grant that individuals have only one reason to alleviate global poverty, it is not clear how moral enhancement can effectively address global poverty, since poverty alleviation is an issue that requires political, economic and institutional action. In the first section of this thesis I will review transhumanism, specifically the "moral enhancement"(ME) proposition. In the second section I will present my pluralist account of the moral duties affluent individuals have to the poor. In the third section, I will analyse the transhumanist's proposal to alleviate global poverty via moral enhancement, and I will contrast their argument with my pluralist account of moral duties in order to determine if ME will achieve poverty reduction.

description: Basis tensor gauge theory is a vierbein analog reformulation of ordinary gauge theories in which the difference of local field degrees of freedom has the interpretation of an object similar to a Wilson line. Here we present a non-Abelian basis tensor gauge theory formalism. Unlike in the Abelian case, the map between the ordinary gauge field and the basis tensor gauge field is nonlinear. To test the formalism, we compute the beta function and the two-point function at the one-loop level in non-Abelian basis tensor gauge theory and show that it reproduces the well-known results from the usual formulation of non-Abelian gauge theory.

Effects of a dense medium on parameters of doubly heavy baryons

description: The spectroscopic properties of the doubly heavy spin-$1/2$ baryons $Ξ_{QQ'}$, $Ξ'_{QQ'}$, $Ω_{QQ'}$ and $Ω'_{QQ'}$, with heavy quarks $Q$ and $Q'$ being $b$ or/and $c$, are investigated in cold nuclear matter. In particular, the behavior of the mass of these particles with respect to the density of the medium in the range $ρ\in [0,1.4] ~ρ_{sat}$, with $ρ_{sat}=0.11^3 ~GeV^3$ being the saturation density of nuclear matter, is investigated. From the shifts in the mass and vector self energy of the states under consideration, it is obtained that $Ξ_{QQ'}$ and $Ξ'_{QQ'}$ baryons with two heavy quarks and one $u$ or $d$ quark are affected by the medium, considerably. It is also seen that the $Ω_{QQ'}$ and $Ω'_{QQ'}$ states, containing two heavy quarks and one $s$ quark do not see the dense medium, at all. The value of mass for the $Ξ_{cc}$ state obtained at $ρ\rightarrow 0$ limit is nicely consistent with the experimental data. Our results on parameters of other members can be useful in the search for these states. The obtained results may also shed light on the future in-medium experiments aiming to search for the behavior of the doubly heavy baryons under extreme conditions.

description: Front propagation in a random environment is studied close to the depinning threshold. At zero temperature we show that the depinning force distribution exhibits a universal behavior. This property is used to estimate the velocity of the front at very low temperature. We obtain a Arrhenius behavior with a prefactor depending on the temperature as a power law. These results are supported by numerical simulations.

description: Using an eikonal structure for the scattering amplitude, Block and Kaidalov have derived factorization theorems for nucleon-nucleon, $γp$ and $γγ$ scattering at high energies, using only some very general assumptions. We present here an analysis giving experimental confirmation for factorization of cross sections, nuclear slope parameters B and $ρ$-values (ratio of real to imaginary portion of forward scattering amplitudes), showing that: i) the three factorization theorems hold, ii) the additive quark model holds to ~1%, and iii) vector dominance holds to better than ~4%.

Decaying turbulence and magnetic fields in galaxy clusters

description: We explore the decay of turbulence and magnetic fields generated by fluctuation dynamo action in the context of galaxy clusters where such a decaying phase can occur in the aftermath of a major merger event. Using idealized numerical simulations that start from a kinetically dominated regime we focus on the decay of the steady state rms velocity and the magnetic field for a wide range of conditions that include varying the compressibility of the flow, the forcing wave number, and the magnetic Prandtl number. Irrespective of the compressibility of the flow, both the rms velocity and the rms magnetic field decay as a power-law in time. In the subsonic case we find that the exponent of the power-law is consistent with the $-3/5$ scaling reported in previous studies. However, in the transonic regime both the rms velocity and the magnetic field initially undergo rapid decay with an $\approx t^{-1.1}$ scaling with time. This is followed by a phase of slow decay where the decay of the rms velocity exhibits an $\approx -3/5$ scaling in time, while the rms magnetic field scales as $\approx -5/7$. Furthermore, analysis of the Faraday rotation measure reveals that the Faraday RM decays also decays as a power law in time $\approx t^{-5/7}$; steeper than the $\sim t^{-2/5}$ scaling obtained in previous simulations of magnetic field decay in subsonic turbulence. Apart from galaxy clusters, our work can have potential implications in the study of magnetic fields in elliptical galaxies.
