description: The manipulator workspace mapping is an important problem in robotics and has attracted significant attention in the community. However, most of the pre-existing algorithms have expensive time complexity due to the reliance on sophisticated kinematic equations. To solve this problem, this paper introduces subspace learning (SL), a variant of subspace embedding, where a set of robot and scope parameters is mapped to the corresponding workspace by a deep neural network (DNN). Trained on a large dataset of around $\mathbf{6\times 10^4}$ samples obtained from a MATLAB$^\circledR$ implementation of a classical method and sampling of designed uniform distributions, the experiments demonstrate that the embedding significantly reduces run-time from $\mathbf{5.23 \times 10^3}$ s of traditional discretization method to $\mathbf{0.224}$ s, with high accuracies (average F-measure is $\mathbf{0.9665}$ with batch gradient descent and resilient backpropagation).

Some Local Multipliers Associated with the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Operator
Creators: name: Dai, Zanbing
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2017

description: This thesis combines ideas from [19] and [21] to introduce two main spectral multipliers results for the Ornstein Uhlenbeck operator in Section 4. Chapter 1 introduces basic de nitions and properties of Markov semigroups and shows how they relate to the Ornstein Uhlenbeck operator. Lots of researchers study the hy- percontractivity result via Markov segmigroups. Chapter 2 describes the notions of weighted Nash inequalities and show how to deduce a hypercontrativity result (Theorem 2.7) from these inequalities based on paper [13]. A brief introduction to the Spectral theory and the main theorem of paper [19] is given in Section 3.

description: Time modulations at per mil level have been reported to take place in the decay constant of several nuclei with period of one year (most cases) but also of about one month or one day. On the other hand, experiments with similar or better sensitivity have been unable to detect any modulation. In this letter we give the results of the activity study of two different sources: 40K and 226Ra. The two gamma spectrometry experiments have been performed underground at the Gran Sasso Laboratory, this way suppressing the time dependent cosmic ray background. Briefly, our measurements reached the sensitivity of 3.4 and 3.5 parts over 10^6 for 40K and 226Ra, respectively (1 sigma) and they do not show any statistically significant evidence of time dependence in the decay constant. We also give the results of the activity measurement at the time of the two strong X-class solar flares which took place in September 2017. Our data do not show any unexpected time dependence in the decay rate of 40K in correspondence with the two flares. To the best of our knowledge, these are the most precise and accurate results on the stability of the decay constant as function of time.

From this the zero momentum pole of the effective propagator is evaluated to determine the induced thermal mass and damping rate for the bosons in the plasma to order $g^3$. The calculations are performed in the imaginary time formalism and a simple diagrammatic analysis is used to identify the relevant diagrams at each order. Results are compared with similar real-time calculations found in the literature.

description: Hawking's radiance, even as computed without account of backreaction, departs from blackbody form due to the mode dependence of the barrier penetration factor. Thus the radiation is not the maximal entropy radiation for given energy. By comparing estimates of the actual entropy emission rate with the maximal entropy rate for the given power, and using standard ideas from communication theory, we set an upper bound on the permitted information outflow rate. This is several times the rates of black hole entropy decrease or radiation entropy production. Thus, if subtle quantum effects not heretofore accounted for code information in the radiance, the information that was thought to be irreparably lost down the black hole may gradually leak back out from the black hole environs over the full duration of the hole's evaporation.

description: The cross section of the reaction $^3$He$(γ,pn)p_{spec}$ in the energy range 150 - 450 MeV has been calculated in a quasifree two-body model and compared with a recent kinematically complete experiment. In comparison with free deuteron disintegration the cross section is increased by a factor of about 1.5 in reasonable agreement with the data for photon energies above 200 MeV. At lower energies the data deviate from the two-body behaviour and thus suggest a more important role of the spectator requiring a more exact treatment.

Year: 2009

description: In 2008, three new primary labor laws took effect in China that together represent the first major retooling of its labor legislation in fifteen years: the Labor Contract Law, the Labor Dispute Mediation and Arbitration Law, and the Employment Promotion Law. The new laws have attracted widespread attention from the international business communi- ty, labor advocates, and observers of China’s ongoing legal reforms. However, whether the legislation can overcome and resolve fundamental implementation barriers remains largely the subject of speculation and debate. This article offers a preliminary answer.

Global homotopy theory

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Algebraic Topology (math.AT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics
subject: 55P, 22E

description: This book introduces a new context for global homotopy theory, i.e., equivariant homotopy theory with universal symmetries. Many important equivariant theories naturally exist not just for a particular group, but in a uniform way for all groups in a specific class. Prominent examples are equivariant stable homotopy, equivariant $K$-theory or equivariant bordism. Global equivariant homotopy theory studies such uniform phenomena, i.e., the adjective `global' refers to simultaneous and compatible actions of all compact Lie groups. We give a self-contained treatment of unstable and stable global homotopy theory, modeled by orthogonal spaces respectively orthogonal spectra under global equivalences. Specific topics include the global stable homotopy category, operations on equivariant homotopy groups, global model structures, and ultra-commutative multiplications. The book includes many explicit examples and detailed calculations.

description: During the long life cycle of a software system, continuous changes often lead to the degradation of its structure. Our work within the QBench project aims to make a step forward from classical quality analyses and propose appropriate corrective measures in the form of source-code transformations which, if applied, would lead to a better software system. Simply put, while traditional quality analysis techniques try to find problems in source code, the QBench vision is to try and find solutions for these problems. This paper contains a brief introduction to the structure and the semantics of the QBench System-model as it is defined by its metamodel.

description: Plastic response due to dislocation activity under intense electric fields is proposed as a source of breakdown. A model is formulated based on stochastic multiplication and arrest under the stress generated by the field. A critical transition in the dislocation population is suggested as the cause of protrusion formation leading to subsequent arcing. The model is studied using Monte Carlo simulations and theoretical analysis, yielding a simplified dependence of the breakdown rates on the electric field. These agree with experimental observations of field and temperature breakdown dependencies.

Assessing China’s Legal Reforms
Creators: name: Liebman, Benjamin L.
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2009

description: Over the past thirty years China has engaged in what is perhaps the most rapid development of any legal system in the history of the world. The Chinese legal system has been fundamentally transformed since 1978. At the beginning of the reform era there were few laws or trained personnel. Today, China has sophisticated legal institutions, thousands of laws and regulations, and the third largest number of lawyers in the world. Law has begun to regulate both state and individual behavior in ways that were inconceivable in 1978. Commitment to the rule of law has become an important part of state ideology and state legitimacy. Popular understanding of law has expanded dramatically and the legal system has become an important route for addressing grievances and resolving disputes.

Essays on demographic changes and macroeconomics
Creators: name: Poonpolkul, Phitawat
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: This thesis uses multi-period overlapping generations models (OLG) to analyse the impacts of demographic changes on the macroeconomy and financial markets. It contributes to the OLG literature in three aspects: the implementation of age-dependent risk aversion to study the role of precautionary savings, a new approach of welfare evaluation of fiscal policy reforms that incorporates the effect of policy-induced uncertainties, and a new framework that endogenises rates of return for risk-free bond and risky capital in a production economy. The first essay uses an OLG model with risk-sensitive preferences to examine the role of age-dependent risk aversion in determining life-cycle behaviour, transition dynamics of macroeconomic variables, and the welfare impacts of population ageing. Under the population ageing assumption, the results emphasise the role of precautionary saving motives that shape the lifetime consumption-saving plan and alter the interactions via the effects of cohort re-weighting and life-cycle redistribution. This leads to different transition dynamics of macroeconomic variables. Risk-sensitive preferences also allow households to internalise changes in future uncertainties when evaluating their welfare impacts, introducing new criteria to policymakers when evaluating policy alternatives. The second essay revisits optimal fiscal policies in response to population ageing. Using the refined version of the framework developed in the first essay, the policy evaluation factors in the welfare cost of policy-induced uncertainties. The results suggest that, based on the welfare of future generations, financing population ageing by either reducing social security benefits or extending the retirement age may not be as strongly preferred to raising the payroll tax rate as prior studies have suggested. The third essay provides a framework to endogenise the rates of return for risk-free bonds and risky capital in an OLG model. The rate of return on capital is endogenised by introducing idiosyncratic production shocks which allows the model to be solved using the traditional numerical method while still enables the interaction between financial markets and macroeconomic conditions in a production economy. The paper finds that several factors such as borrowing costs, labour income and production risk play essential roles in life-cycle portfolios. The paper then investigates the impacts of population ageing on macroeconomic conditions, life-cycle behaviours and financial market structures. The results show that population ageing leads to higher capital-labour ratios and reduces the rates of return on both assets. The bond market shrinks significantly, and capital decreases if the fertility rate declines but increases if the mortality rate declines, leading to structural change in financial markets.

description: Pore waters which were taken from sediments of the Chesapeake Bay were analyzed to determine the presence of volatile amines. A purge-and-trap technique was used to concentrate the amines. Then, following derivatization with heptaflourobutyric anhydride, the HFBA-amines were analyzed by gas chromatography with electron capture detection and with mass spectrometric detection. One secondary amine, diethylamine with a concentration of 0.3-0.6 uM, was found in a total of three pore water samples from cores collected on two different dates. A primary amine, sec-butylamine with a concentration of O. 05 AIM, was also found in one of these same samples. Another primary amine, n-propylamine with a concentration of 0.07 u.M, was found in two of the same samples in which these other amines were detected. Two amines, i-propylamine and piperidine, were detected with electron capture detection but the identifications of these two amines could not be confirmed by GC/MS analysis. The origin of these amines is unknown.

We reveal that in CaAgP, the bulk band gap and surface states with a large bandwidth are topologically trivial, in agreement with hybrid density functional theory calculations. The calculations also indicate that application of "negative" hydrostatic pressure can transform trivial semiconducting CaAgP into an ideal topological nodal-line semimetal phase. The topological transition can be realized by partial isovalent P/As substitution at x = 0.38.

description: We calculate the S parameter of the standard model at one loop of fermions, using three different regularizations (dimensional, Pauli-Villars and lattice) and find an extra contribution to the S parameter besides the standard one for each case. This shows that the extra contribution recently reported for the lattice regularization is {\it not} necessarily tied to the non-decoupling effect of fermion doublers. We argue that the extra contribution should be subtracted in the renormalizable perturbative expansion.

description: The typical Nigerian firm incurs huge costs arising from frequent cuts in electricity supply. This paper investigated the impact of power outages in Nigeria’s industries for the year 2014 through the simulation of statistical data collected from two hundred and fifty (250) electricity intensive industries drawn from the nation’s three major industrial cities using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 16.0. This study found that in 2014 alone, Nigeria’s industries spent a whooping N2, 558,562,894,261.7equivalent to 2.26 % of the nation’s GDP for that year or 56.9% of the national budget for 2015 as a result of power outages. The results further showed that Nigeria’s industries suffer low capacity utilization, significant reduction in productivity, low marginal profit and lack of competitiveness in the international market due to perennial shortages in energy supply resulting from high distribution losses. The paper suggested remedial measures to mitigate losses arising from unannounced electricity cuts as well as achieve more efficient power supply to the nation’s industrial sector.The findings of this research provide a data bank for industry operators, future researchers in the areas of electricity distribution as well as power sector stakeholders.
Ms Memorial Maker: the engagement of female memorial makers with the dominant narrative of war in Australia's war memorial landscape
Creators: name: Armstrong, Laura
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: In the one hundred years since the Great War, Australia's war memorial landscape has been dominated by a single narrative: the Anzac myth. Anzac, named for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, has taken on meaning outside of this acronym, to encompass the whole masculine culture of war memory in Australia. This narrative has largely excluded the experiences of everyone who is not a white man of British descent. This domination has extended to the designing and making of the war memorials that crowd the Australian landscape. But women have been memorialised, and war memorials designed by women do exist, although they have been eclipsed by the masculine nature of Anzac. Drawing on research gathered through the methods of archival research and document analysis, site visits and observation, and in-depth, semi-structured interviews, this thesis uncovers memorials designed by women and assesses the ways in which their makers have engaged with the Anzac myth, in creating memorials that are to men and to women. The focus is on Australian women, but comparisons are provided with New Zealand and Canada, and with some male memorial makers. I argue that women working in this space have both reinforced the stereotypes of heroic, matey men and grief-stricken, emotional women and pushed the boundaries of these stereotypes associated with the narrative templates that frame it. This pushing of boundaries is most readily seen in Margaret Baskerville's Edith Cavell Memorial, one of the few public sculptures in the Australian landscape that celebrates the achievements of individual women. Furthermore, this thesis argues that only in singling out these women and their work is it possible to give them the examination and recognition required to form a more inclusive and critical interpretation of war experience and its related culture in Australia.

description: We discuss a Gedanken experiment for the measurement of the area of the apparent horizon of a black hole in quantum gravity. Using rather general and model-independent considerations we find a generalized uncertainty principle which agrees with a similar result obtained in the framework of string theories. The result indicates that a minimum length of the order of the Planck length emerges naturally from any quantum theory of gravity, and that the concept of black hole is not operationally defined if the mass is smaller than the Planck mass.

description: $R$-coloured knot polynomials for $m$-strand torus knots $Torus_{[m,n]}$ are described by the Rosso-Jones formula, which is an example of evolution in $n$ with Lyapunov exponents, labelled by Young diagrams from $R^{\otimes m}$. This means that they satisfy a finite-difference equation (recursion) of finite degree. For the gauge group $SL(N)$ only diagrams with no more than $N$ lines can contribute and the recursion degree is reduced. We claim that these properties (evolution/recursion and reduction) persist for Khovanov-Rozansky (KR) polynomials, obtained by additional factorization modulo $1+{\bf t}$, which is not yet adequately described in quantum field theory. Also preserved is some weakened version of differential expansion, which is responsible at least for a simple relation between {\it reduced} and {\it unreduced} Khovanov polynomials. However, in the KR case evolution is incompatible with the mirror symmetry under the change $n\longrightarrow -n$, what can signal about an ambiguity in the KR factorization even for torus knots. }

Permeating purity: Fluid rituals of belonging in Ghana
Creators: name: Wissing, Kirsty
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: In this thesis, I analyse how flows of fluids and people shape each other in southern Ghana. They do so both literally and metaphorically, as landscapes and people are defined, sorted, contested, and manipulated in projects of inclusion, exclusion, containment and combining often framed through purity. The building of the Akosombo Dam on the Volta River and, relatedly, the building of the Ghanaian nation-state, greatly changed the socio-physical environment of the Akwamu Traditional Area. In the adjustment of and to flows of water, people and ideas of belonging, how do Akwamu customary authorities make sense, manage identity and seek to maintain power? I suggest we can explore this by returning to ritual and revisiting the politics of purity and pollution. In Akwamu understandings, water, as well as blood and alcohol, are attributed qualities of cleanliness and/or purity and, by extension, moral value. These ideas of purity and pollution are often generated and expressed in ritual. A key observation in this thesis is that, in some Akwamu rituals, water, blood and alcohol are intermingled, rather than separated, to achieve purity as indexing spiritual and - by association - human power. By exploring the porous thresholds of fluids to people, and vice versa, in ritual, we can also consider physical and socio-political pressure, power and control of and by human and non-human actors. As unstable entities with multiple meanings, fluids can also slip beyond containment to combine in powerful ways. In this thesis, then, I also consider how uncooperative fluids - in their excess or in their absence - can undermine certain claims to legitimacy and be seized upon by marginal groups to index alternative power and challenge dominant discourses of control. In ruled and unruly states, fluids offer people opportunities for political creativity and challenge. I analyse Akwamu customary uses of fluids in ritual and ritual as fluid in that, through it, multiple meanings of cleanliness are negotiated and/or incorporated. I suggest that purity as permeation can in fact strengthen claims of belonging that reflect, and also reconstitute, power relations.

description: Für automatisches Reengineering benötigt man garantierte Semantikerhaltung. Notwendige Voraussetzung ist hierbei z.B. dass der Slice eines bestimmten Codestücks gleich bleibt, d.h. dass es von den gleichen Anweisungen abhängig bleibt. Dadurch kann gewährleistet werden, dass alle Daten eines verschobenen Codestücks bei dessen Berechnung auch wirklich aktuell sind. Refactoring ist ein Beispiel, bei dem Slicing benutzt wird um die Semantik zu erhalten. Für parallele Java-Programme kann man aber keine optimalen Slices mehr finden, wie es für prozedurale Programme der Fall ist. Trotzdem lassen sich Näherungen berechnen, die einige nicht-erfüllbare Pfade durch das Programm ausschließen können und die damit den Reengineering-Prozess vereinfachen. Leider gibt es aber bis jetzt noch kein etabliertes Verfahren zur Berechnung der Abhängigkeiten, die durch Nutzung des gemeinsamen Speichers bei der parallelen Ausführung von Threads entstehen (Interferenz-Abhängigkeiten). Unser Ansatz kombiniert MHP mit den Erkenntnissen aus der Pointer-Analyse, die auch nur intra-prozedural definiert wurde und durch Cloning kontext-sensitiv gemacht werden kann. Dazu wurde das Tool bddbddb verwendet, das Pointer-Analyse mit Hilfe von BDDs (Binary Decision Diagram) berechnet. BDDs wurden bisher vor allem beim Model Checking verwendet, um die Explosion des Zustandsraumes besser im Speicher eindämmen zu können.

description: In the extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, the process of production of charged kaon pair on colliding electron-positron beams in the energy interval 1 - 1.7 GeV is described. In studying of this process, we take into account the contact terms when the pairs $K^{+}$ $K^{-}$ are generated by an intermediate photon, and processes with intermediate vector mesons $ρ$, $ω$ and $ϕ$ in the ground and in the first radially excited states. The results obtained here are compared with experimental data recently received in Novosibirsk and in Stanford.

Hamiltonian Approach to 2D Dilaton-Gravities and Invariant Adm Mass

description: The formula existing in the literature for the ADM mass of 2D dilaton gravity is incomplete. For example, in the case of an infalling matter shockwave this formula fails to give a time-independent mass, unless a very special coordinate system is chosen. We carefully carry out the canonical formulation of 2D dilaton gravity theories (classical, CGHS and RST). As in 4D general relativity one must add a boundary term to the bulk Hamiltonian to obtain a well-defined variational problem. This boundary term coincides with the numerical value of the Hamiltonian and gives the correct mass which obviously is time-independent.

Thirty Years of Legal Exchange with China: The Columbia Law School Role
Creators: name: Edwards, R. Randle
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2009

description: The successive deans and faculty members of Columbia Law School have been consistently supportive of the idea that study of Chinese law and exchanges with Chinese law schools warranted a special commitment of faculty time and Law School funds. I first became aware of the Co- lumbia Law Faculty’s strong interest in Chinese law when in the spring of 1973 I was invited to meet every member of the faculty as part of the process of interviewing me for a faculty appointment. The meetings be- gan at nine in the morning and lasted until five in the afternoon, with a new shift of four or five professors every half hour. I soon realized that each group was likely to ask me what plans I had for Chinese law at Co- lumbia in the event I received a job offer. What could I do? In desperation, I decided to tell each group the unlikely truth-ever since I began the study of the Chinese language in the spring of 1958, 1 had dreamed of having a law teaching job where I could initiate a broad range of legal education exchanges with China. At that time, doing such a thing seemed not only virtually impossible but also almost treasonous. After all, Chinese troops had fought against American troops in the Korean War, and the U.S. 7th Fleet was patrolling the Taiwan Strait to protect the Nationalist regime in Taiwan from invasion by the Communist troops on the mainland. Moreover, the U.S. was the leader of an Allied embargo on trade with China that had imposed great hardship on the Chi- nese people. This official economic embargo had also led inexorably to a de facto cultural embargo. Only two or three U.S. law schools had even a single survey course on Chinese law in 1973. As for Chinese law facul- ties, they were all closed during the Cultural Revolution, from 1966 to the late 1970s.

description: The essential oil obtained from Wedelia urticifolia growing in Hunan Province, China, was analyzed for the first time by capillary GC and GC-MS. A total of 67 constituents, representing 98.68% in essential oil were identified. The major constituents of the oil were: α-pinene (8.85%), limonene (6.38%), carvacrol (6.15%), caryophyllene (6.08%), spathulenol (5.49%), sabinene (5.36%), camphor (4.34%). Antimicrobial potential of oil against bacterial strains (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis, and Staphylococcus aureus), yeast strains (Hansenula anomala and Saccharomy cescerevisiae) and molds (Aspergillus niger, Chaetomium globosum, Mucor racemosus, and Monascus anka) was determined by disc diffusion method and broth micro dilution method, respectively. The oil exhibited promising antimicrobial effect as a diameter of zones of inhibition (16.8–24.9 mm). Minimum inhibitory concentration values of oil were ranged 62.5–1000 μg/mL.
Human Trafficking in Asia: Increasing Individual And State Accountability Through Expanded Victims’ Rights
Creators: name: Willman, Mindy
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2009

description: Freedom and justice are sweet dreams for individuals who are forced or tricked into serving others against their will-who are trafficked for the purpose of exploitation.1 They are sweet dreams because freedom and justice are not guaranteed and often not realized together. Individuals who have suffered as victims of trafficking may be freed only later to find no way of pursuing justice or redress for the wrongs they suffered. Instead, their traffickers go unpunished and continue to profit. Meanwhile, governments often ignore victims’ needs and sometimes even punish victims as criminals by quickly deporting them, denying them opportunities for compensation, or holding them accountable for criminal activities they performed under duress. Shipped to and from different states, either against their will or by deception, victims suffer violations and denials of essential rights on account of both traffickers and governments. Yet, neither traffickers nor governments are adequately held accountable for their actions, or the lack thereof, and victims are left without justice.
