description: We present a complete study of the vacuum structure of Top Quark Seesaw models of the Electroweak Symmetry Breaking, including bottom quark mass generation. Such models emerge naturally from extra dimensions. We perform a systematic gap equation analysis and develop an improved broken phase formulation for including exact seesaw mixings. The composite Higgs boson spectrum is studied in the large-N_c fermion-bubble approximation and an improved renormalization group approach. The theoretically allowed parameter space is restrictive, leading to well-defined predictions. We further analyze the electroweak precision constraints. Generically, a heavy composite Higgs boson with a mass of ~1TeV is predicted, yet fully compatible with the precision data.

description: We use weights on objects in an abelian category to define what we call a path metric. We introduce three special classes of weight: those compatible with short exact sequences; those induced by their path metric; and those which bound their path metric. We prove that these conditions are in fact equivalent, and call such weights exact. As a special case of a path metric, we obtain a distance for generalized persistence modules whose indexing category is a measure space. We use this distance to define Wasserstein distances, which coincide with the previously defined Wasserstein distances for one-parameter persistence modules. For one-parameter persistence modules, we also describe maps to and from an interval module, and we give a matrix reduction for monomorphisms and epimorphisms.

description: We generalize the notion of metallic structure in the pseudo-Riemannian setting, define the metallic Norden structure and study its integrability. We consider metallic maps between metallic manifolds and give conditions under which they are constant. We also construct a metallic natural connection recovering as particular case the Ganchev and Mihova connection, which we extend to a metallic natural connection on the generalized tangent bundle. Moreover, we construct metallic pseudo-Riemannian structures on the tangent and cotangent bundles.

description: Costarina maritza, new species (Figures 34–44)
TYPE: Male holotype from wet montane forest litter taken at an elevation of 875 m in the Estación Biológica Maritza, Guanacaste, Costa Rica (Feb. 13, 1996; R. Anderson), deposited in AMNH (PBI_OON 21119).
 DIAGNOSIS: Males have the proximal embolar prong distinctively bifid, with a long prolaterally directed portion and a shorter apically directed portion (figs. 34–39); females have fully fused ventral scuta and a slightly angular anterior margin on the genital atrium (figs. 41–44). T he palp resembles that of C. blanco Platnick and Dupérré from Nicaragua, but the proximal and distal embolar prongs are more widely separated than in that species (cf. Platnick and Dupérré, 2012: figs. 451–455). Members of this species have been found in Berlese samples together with representatives of both C. plena (cf. figs. 1–11) and C. upala (cf. figs. 100–110), but can easily be differentiated by having the surfaces of the sternum between the transverse ridges roughened (fig. 40) rather than smooth.
 MALE (PBI_OON 49949, figs. 34–39): Total length 2.02. Endite ventral process long, distally narrow; dorsal process shorter. Femur II r0-1-0; tibia II v4-4-0; metatarsi: I v2-2-2; II v2-2-0. Embolus distal prong very narrow; proximal prong bifid, with long prolaterally directed portion and shorter apically directed portion (N = 53).
 FEMALE (PBI_OON 49949, figs. 40–44): Total length 2.34. Spination typical. Genital atrium large, ovoid, completely surrounded by sclerotized cuticle (N = 42).
DISTRIBUTION: Widespread and abundant in the northern half of Costa Rica (Guanacaste, Alajuela, Heredia, Cartago, Limón, and northern Puntarenas).

description: The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union is the most famous recently enacted privacy regulation. Despite of the regulation's legal, political, and technological ramifications, relatively little research has been carried out for better understanding the GDPR's practical implications for requirements engineering and software architectures. Building on a grounded theory approach with close ties to the Finnish software industry, this paper contributes to the sealing of this gap in previous research. Three questions are asked and answered in the context of software development organizations. First, the paper elaborates nine practical constraints under which many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often operate when implementing solutions that address the new regulatory demands. Second, the paper elicits nine regulatory requirements from the GDPR for software architectures. Third, the paper presents an implementation for a software architecture that complies both with the requirements elicited and the constraints elaborated.

description: Metasurfaces mold the flow of classical light waves by engineering sub-wavelength patterns from dielectric or metallic thin films. We describe and analyze a method in which quantum operator-valued reflectivity can be used to control both spatio-temporal and quantum properties of transmitted and reflected light. Such a quantum metasurface is realized by preparing and manipulating entangled superposition states of atomically thin reflectors. Specifically, we show that such a system allows for massively parallel quantum operations between atoms and photons and for the generation of highly non-classical states of light, including photonic GHZ and cluster states suitable for quantum information processing. We analyze the influence of imperfections and decoherence, as well as specific implementations based on atom arrays excited into Rydberg states. Finally, the extension to quantum metamaterials and emulations of quantum gravitational background for light are discussed.

description: This working document describes a stateless data transmission protocol which can be used to access a wide variety of earth sciences data. The protocol is referred to as the Data Access Protocol in much of this document and it is intended to be used in the construction of system software, particularly for the Distributed Oceanographic Data System. This protocol for data access is flexible enough to access all the data sets which will be part of the system. However, it does not offer the rich features found in interfaces intended for user-program construction. In addition to presenting the requirements and a design for the interface, the rationale for choosing this type of interface is also given. 

This document is written for people interested in implementing software that will be part of or work in parallel with the Distributed Oceanographic Data System.

description: Government subsidies have fuelled proposals for new ethanol projects that plan to use Australian grains as their feedstock. Additional ethanol production will intensify competition for grain in the Australian market, particularly during drought periods. This is likely to affect Australia’s largest grain user, the livestock industry. Past empirical work has found that expansions to ethanol production will cause grain prices to increase, as a result of restrictions on grain imports. However, this study finds two factors that could moderate such increases in the price of grain: the reliance of ethanol producers on low cost feedstock to remain economically viable, and the possibility of using imported cassava instead of domestically produced grains for ethanol production.

description: We present a polynomial hybrid Monte Carlo (PHMC) algorithm for lattice QCD with odd numbers of flavors of O(a)-improved Wilson quark action. The algorithm makes use of the non-Hermitian Chebyshev polynomial to approximate the inverse square root of the fermion matrix required for an odd number of flavors. The systematic error from the polynomial approximation is removed by a noisy Metropolis test for which a new method is developed. Investigating the property of our PHMC algorithm in the N_f=2 QCD case, we find that it is as efficient as the conventional HMC algorithm for a moderately large lattice size (16^3 times 48) with intermediate quark masses (m_{PS}/m_V ~ 0.7-0.8). We test our odd-flavor algorithm through extensive simulations of two-flavor QCD treated as an N_f = 1+1 system, and comparing the results with those of the established algorithms for N_f=2 QCD. These tests establish that our PHMC algorithm works on a moderately large lattice size with intermediate quark masses (16^3 times 48, m_{PS}/m_V ~ 0.7-0.8). Finally we experiment with the (2+1)-flavor QCD simulation on small lattices (4^3 times 8 and 8^3 times 16), and confirm the agreement of our results with those obtained with the R algorithm and extrapolated to a zero molecular dynamics step size.

description: We have reconsidered the atmospheric neutrino anomaly in light of the laetst data from Super-Kamiokande contained events and from Super-Kamiokande and MACRO up-going muons. We have reanalysed the proposed solution to the atmospheric neutrino anomaly in terms of non-standard neutrino-matter interactions (NSI) as well as the standard nu_mu -> nu_tau oscillations (OSC). Our statistical analysis shows that a pure NSI mechanism is now ruled out at 99%, while the standard nu_mu -> nu_tau OSC mechanism provides a quite remarkably good description of the anomaly. We therefore study an extended mechanism of neutrino propagation which combines both oscillation and non-standard neutrino-matter interactions, in order to derive limits on flavour-changing (FC) and non-universal (NU) neutrino interactions. We obtain that the off-diagonal flavour-changing neutrino parameter epsilon and the diagonal non-universality neutrino parameter epsilon' are confined to -0.03 < epsilon < 0.02 and |epsilon'| < 0.05 at 99.73% CL. These limits are model independent and they are obtained from pure neutrino-physics processes. The stability of the neutrino oscillation solution to the atmospheric neutrino anomaly against the presence of non-standard neutrino interactions establishes the robustness of the near-maximal atmospheric mixing and massive-neutrino hypothesis. The best agreement with the data is obtained for Delta_m^2 = 2.3*10^{-3} eV^2, sin^2(2*theta) = 1, epsilon = 6.7*10^{-3} and epsilon' = 1.1*10^{-3}, although the chi^2 function is quite flat in the epsilon and epsilon' directions for epsilon, epsilon' -> 0.

description: Coincidence scattering of polarized electrons from nuclei with polarization transfer to outgoing nucleons is studied within the context of relativistic mean field theory. Effects introduced by the dynamical enhancement of the lower components of the bound and scattered nucleon wave functions are analyzed for the polarized response functions and transferred polarization asymmetries. Results obtained by projecting out the negative-energy components are compared with the fully-relativistic calculation. The crucial role played by the relativistic dynamics in some spin-dependent observables is clearly manifested even for low/medium values of the missing momentum. Kinematical relativistic effects are also analyzed. A discussion of the factorization approach and the mechanism for its breakdown is also briefly presented.

description: Nanostructured materials have wide potential applicability as field emitters due to their high aspect ratio. We hydrothermally synthesized MoS2 nanoflowers on copper foil and characterized their field emission properties, by applying a tip-anode configuration in which a tungsten tip with curvature radius down to 30-100nm has been used as the anode to measure local properties from small areas down to 1-100um2. We demonstrate that MoS2 nanoflowers can be competitive with other well-established field emitters. Indeed, we show that a stable field emission current can be measured with a turn-on field as low as 12 V um-1 and a field enhancement factor up to 880 at 600nm cathode-anode separation distance.

description: Agricultural and forestry GHG emissions are a key feature of New Zealand’s emissions profile, and New Zealand is the only country, to date, to have indicated that agricultural and forestry emissions will be covered under their domestic climate policy – the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme. Coupled with climate policy development is the increasing scrutiny of agricultural impacts on water. This paper uses New Zealand Forest and Agriculture Regional Model (NZ-FARM) to assess the potential economic and environmental impacts of imposing both a climate and nutrient reduction policy on the agricultural and forestry industries in the Manawatu and Hurunui/Waiau catchments in New Zealand. We find that adding a scheme that reduces catchment-level nutrients by 20% on top of a national policy that puts a price of $25 per ton carbon dioxide equivalent on agricultural GHG emissions could result in greater environmental benefits at a relatively small cost, but the converse is not always true and could be significantly more costly for landowners.

description: The limitation of commercially available single-crystal substrates and the lack of continuous strain tunability preclude the ability to take full advantage of strain engineering for further exploring novel properties and exhaustively studying fundamental physics in complex oxides. Here we report an approach for imposing continuously tunable, large epitaxial strain in oxide heterostructures beyond substrate limitations by inserting an interface layer through tailoring its gradual strain relaxation. Taking BiFeO3 as a model system, we demonstrate that the introduction of an ultrathin interface layer allows the creation of a desired strain that can induce phase transition and stabilize a new metastable super-tetragonal phase as well as morphotropic phase boundaries overcoming substrate limitations. Furthermore, continuously tunable strain from tension to compression can be generated by precisely adjusting the thickness of the interface layer, leading to the first achievement of continuous O-R-T phase transition in BiFeO3 on a single substrate. This proposed route could be extended to other oxide heterostructures, providing a platform for creating exotic phases and emergent phenomena.

description: Policymakers in developing countries responsible for national agricultural research are considering the implications of adopting intellectual property rights for biotechnology. The impetus for these deliberations comes from many factors, including the desire of developing countries to acquire and use new technologies in agricultural research, and the pressure exerted on developing countries in international negotiations to strengthen their intellectual property legislation. In this report, the introductory chapters summarize the increasing significance of intellectual property rights for agricultural biotechnology and current international trade- and development-related debates on IPR and developing-country responses to these issues. An analysis is then provided of the complexities, options and implications regarding intellectual property rights in relation to three national technology objectives: acquiring either public or proprietary biotechnologies, developing and protecting national innovations, and choices for technology transfer and licensing.

Persistent homology computations are completely characterized by a set of intervals called a bar code. It is often said that the long intervals represent the "topological signal" and the short intervals represent "noise". We give evidence to dispute this thesis, showing that the short intervals encode geometric information. Specifically, we prove that persistent homology detects the curvature of disks from which points have been sampled. We describe a general computational framework for solving inverse problems using the average persistence landscape, a continuous mapping from metric spaces with a probability measure to a Hilbert space. In the present application, the average persistence landscapes of points sampled from disks of constant curvature results in a path in this Hilbert space which may be learned using standard tools from statistical and machine learning.

Interferometric study of density fluctuations in a tokamak plasma
Creators: name: Nazikian, Raffi
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1989
Subjects: subject: Plasma density
subject: Tokamaks
subject: Interferometry

description: Density fluctuations in the LT-4 tokamak plasma are investigated using a Phase Scintillation Interferometer operating at 10.6/Ltm which is sensitive to density fluctuations of δnₑ/nₑ> 10⁻¹⁴. The plasma is imaged across a linear detector array which can be rotated to record projections in any direction, from toroidal to poloidal. The theory of forward scattering from plasmas is developed from the Rytov approximation and aspects of the Fourier diffraction projection theorem relevant to plasma scattering. The result is a clear conceptual picture of diffraction from arbitrary extended refractive media, from which important analytical tools are developed. The Phase Scintillation Interferometer is used to image density perturbations produced by large scale magnetohydro dynamic (MHD) modes in the plasma associated with Mimov oscillations. Structural characteristics are determined, and a comparison between experimental and computed projections of the Dubois model is made which shows that the density fluctuations are consistent with a model of rotating magnetic islands. Island widths and local magnetic field fluctuations are determined and are found to compare well with measured poloidal magnetic field fluctuations. The interferometer is used in conjunction with other diagnostics to investigate minor and major disruptions in LT-4. The time frequency distribution is introduced as an important analytical tool in the characterization of the various regimes of MHD activity. Frequency and amplitude variations of an m = 3 mode during current rise appear correlated with variations in toroidal loop voltage. The mode is also found to persist throughout the whole discharge and to play a part in mode locking which precedes major disruptions. Mode frequencies are found to vary in a regular way with the safety factor q(a). Precursor oscillations before minor and major disruptions are identified. A strong m — 1 type of internal relaxation is found to follow rapid growth and locking of an m = 2 mode during minor disruptions. The interferometer is also applied to the measurement of fine scale density fluctuations in the LT-4 tokamak during periods of low level MHD activity. Line integral measurements indicate an edge fluctuation level of about 10% and broad band spectra typical of strong turbulence. Anisotropy in the spectrum of fluctuations perpendicular to the magnetic field is observed. This observation runs counter to reported measurements of isotropic fluctuations made on other tokamaks using small angle scattering techniques. Very long correlation lengths along the field lines are observed, which are consistent with nearly all models of turbulence in tokamak plasmas. The images are numerically filtered so as to isolate and display counter-propagating structures in the turbulent flow.

description: The Fitzgerald River National Park is one of the world’s 25 biological hotspots, containing many endemic flora and fauna species. Its unique biodiversity is being threatened by the introduced root pathogen, Phytophthora cinnamomi. We evaluate the cost-effectiveness of strategies to manage Phytophthora cinnamomi in the park, using the Investment Framework for Environmental Resources (INFFER). Management strategies based on current and higher investment levels are shown to have high Benefit Cost Indices. These results support the use of public conservation funds to address the threat of Phytophthora cinnamomi, and show the need for improved understanding of the impact and the adoption of strategies.

description: We calculate the contribution of superconducting fluctuations to thermal transport in the normal state, for low magnetic fields. We do so in the Gaussian approximation to their critical dynamics which is also the Aslamazov-Larkin approximation in the microscopics. Our results for the thermal conductivity tensor and the transverse thermoelectric response are new. The latter compare favorably with the data of Ong and collaborators on the Nernst effect in the cuprates.

description: There has been recent debate over the role of predator-proof fences in the management of New Zealand’s biodiversity. The debate has arisen due to concern that investments in fenced sanctuaries are less productive than are alternative ways to manage biodiversity. Predator-proof fences are costly and budget constraints limit the area of habitat that can be fenced. The area of habitat enclosed within fences, and number of individuals of species supported, determines project’s ability to contribute to biodiversity goals. Many fenced sanctuary projects require substantial, continuing volunteer input to monitor fences and other tasks. These projects often pursue a number of goals including species protection, habitat restoration, education and community engagement. In this paper we examine methods to evaluate fenced biodiversity projects. While Cost Benefit analysis can potentially be used to evaluate these projects, cost - effectiveness measures and multi criteria analyses provide useful ways to inform decision-makers.

description: The lifetimes of charmed mesons have been measured using 11.1fb$^{-1} of data collected with the Belle detector at KEKB. Each candidate is fully reconstructed to identify the flavor of the charmed meson. The lifetimes are measured to be $τ(D^0)=(414.5\pm1.7)$ fs, $τ(D^+)=(1029\pm12)$ fs and $τ(D_s^+)=(488.4^{+7.8}_{-7.7})$ fs, where the error is statistical only. The mixing parameter $y_{CP}$ is also measured to be $y_{CP}=(1.16^{+1.67}_{-1.65}(stat.))%$ through the lifetime difference of $D^0$ mesons decaying into CP-mixed states and CP eigenstates.

Role of Umklapp Processes in Conductivity of Doped Two-Leg Ladders

description: Recent conductivity measurements performed on the hole-doped two-leg ladder material $\mathrm{Sr_{14-x}Ca_xCu_{24}O_{41}}$ reveal an approximately linear power law regime in the c-axis DC resistivity as a function of temperature for $x=11$. In this work, we employ a bosonic model to argue that umklapp processes are responsible for this feature and for the high spectral weight in the optical conductivity which occurs beyond the finite frequency Drude-like peak. Including quenched disorder in our model allows us to reproduce experimental conductivity and resistivity curves over a wide range of energies. We also point out the differences between the effect of umklapp processes in a single chain and in the two-leg ladder.

description: The emerging 5G paradigm will enable multi-radio smartphones to run high-rate stream applications. However, since current smartphones remain resource and battery-limited, the 5G era opens new challenges on how to actually support these applications. In principle, the service orchestration capability of the Fog and Cloud Computing paradigms could be an effective means of dynamically providing resource-augmentation to smartphones. Motivated by these considerations, the peculiar focus of this paper is on the joint and adaptive optimization of the resource and task allocations of mobile stream applications in 5G-supported multi-tier Mobile-Fog-Cloud virtualized ecosystems. The objective is the minimization of the computing-plus-network energy of the overall ecosystem under hard constraints on the minimum streaming rate and the maximum computing-plus-networking resources. To this end: 1) we model the target ecosystem energy by explicitly accounting for the virtualized and multi-core nature of the Fog/Cloud servers; 2) since the resulting problem is non-convex and involves both continuous and discrete variables, we develop an optimality-preserving decomposition into the cascade of a (continuous) resource allocation sub-problem and a (discrete) task-allocation sub-problem; and 3) we numerically solve the first sub-problem through a suitably designed set of gradient-based adaptive iterations, while we approach the solution of the second sub-problem by resorting to an ad-hoc-developed elitary Genetic algorithm. Finally, we design the main blocks of EcoMobiFog, a technological virtualized platform for supporting the developed solver. The extensive numerical tests confirm that the energy-delay performance of the proposed solving framework is typically within a few per-cent the benchmark one of the exhaustive search-based solution.

description: A relativistic transport model is used to study Xi- production in 2-11A GeV Au+Au collisions. Introducing the strangeness-exchange reactions between antikaons and hyperons as the sources for Xi-, we find that the cascade yield in these collisions is in reasonable agreement with the data. Although the Xi- abundance does not reach chemical equilibrium unless the cross section for strangeness-exchange reactions is enhanced by six times, it exhibits the strongest enhancement with increasing centrality of collision and with increasing beam energy.

Latin Americans in Australia : a study in migration satisfaction
Creators: name: Anderson, Paul Simon
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1979
Subjects: subject: Latin Americans Australia
subject: Australia Emigration and immigration

description: Nearly three-fourths of the 33,000 Latin Americans in Australia in mid-1976 are from Chile, Uruguay and Argentina. Political and economic "pushes" plus Australia’s assistance are the main reasons for that flow, but many unmarried immigrants from those and other Latin American nations are motivated by travel desires. Most come from the metropolitan middle class, but there are wide variations between the migrants. Prior to 1969 the flow was notably "non-Latin" (e.g. Anglo-Argentinian), but over 80% of the total have arrived since then and are "true" Latin Americans. About 70% are in Sydney and many associate in several clubs, but otherwise there is no real "community". This is partly because of socio-economic differences between migrants' Latin American background and current situations in Australia. The Latin American immigrants were mainly selected on the basis of their education, qualifications and employment. However, many of them are employed at levels below their skills. The theme of migration satisfaction is developed and applied to Australia's Latin Americans. The literature review discusses the related concept of "place utility" and also the use of "satisfaction" in a sequence leading to "identification" and "acculturation". A measurement scale of nine ranked levels of migration satisfaction is developed using a sample of 299 Latin American Independent Decision Makers in Australia. That scale is then used to identify which characteristics of immigrants are associated with migration satisfaction. Those characteristics are organized as premigration, post-migration, relative change, and personal variables. Several main ones (marital status, motivation, relative change in occupation level, English ability, and friends/relatives in Australia) are used to complete a typology of Latin Americans in Australia. Discriminant analysis is used in an attempt to combine the characteristics in order to diagnose the migration satisfaction of immigrants or predict its level in prospective migrants. The results suggest that further work using the discriminant analysis technique and the concept of migration satisfaction would be very fruitful and of great practical value to immigration officials and social workers dealing with any group of immigrants in any nation, not just Latin Americans in Australia. Likewise, there will be benefits from other studies of the Latin Americans who in the 1970's have become and will probably remain Australia's fastest growing non-British immigrant population in both absolute numbers and in rate of growth.
Zero-free regions for the Riemann zeta function

Subjects: subject: Number Theory (math.NT)

description: We improve existing explicit bounds of Vinogradov-Korobov type for zero-free regions of the Riemann zeta function, both for large height t and for every t. A primary input is an explicit bound of the author (Proc. London Math. Soc. 85 (2002), 565-633) for the growth of $ζ(σ+it)$ for $σ$ near 1. Another ingredient is a kind of Jensen formula (Lemma 2.2) relating the growth of a function on vertical lines to a weighted count of its zeros inside a vertical strip. The latter was used recently in the weak subconvexity work of Soundararajan and Thorner (arXiv:1804.03654, Duke Math. J. 168, no. 7 (2019), 1231-1268).

Compared to the published version, Theorems 1 and 5 are unchanged, Theorem 4 is very slightly degraded, and Theorems 2 and 3 have different numerics.
