description: The analysis and results are presented from the complete data set recorded at Palo Verde between September 1998 and July 2000. In the experiment, the $\nuebar$ interaction rate has been measured at a distance of 750 and 890 m from the reactors of the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station for a total of 350 days, including 108 days with one of the three reactors off for refueling. Backgrounds were determined by (a) the $swap$ technique based on the difference between signal and background under reversal of the positron and neutron parts of the correlated event and (b) making use of the conventional reactor-on and reactor-off cycles. There is no evidence for neutrino oscillation and the mode $\nuebar\to\barν_x$ was excluded at 90% CL for $\dm>1.1\times10^{-3}$ eV$^2$ at full mixing, and $\sinq>0.17$ at large $\dm$.

Sources of international comparative advantage : further evidence
Creators: name: Song, Ligang
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1993
Subjects: subject: Comparative advantage (International trade)
subject: International economic relations

description: In his seminal work, Sources of International Comparative Advantage: Theory and Evidence (1984), Leamer (1984) used cross-country data to the mid 1970s to establish the linkage between trade and resource endowments and to identify sources of international comparative advantage and the changing roles that they play in determining patterns of international trade. The principal objective of this thesis is to examine to what extent the trends identified by Leamer in earlier data continued into the 1980s. The reasons for doing this are twofold: using updated data, to study the hypothesis that the structure of trade is explained by the availability of resources; and to reveal changing patterns of international comparative advantage over a new period of time. The thesis looks at what resource supplies have determined comparative advantage and asks whether there has been a structural change in patterns of trade and resource endowments over time. The main argument of the thesis is that cross-country differences in resource endowments still play an important role in detennining patterns of trade. The argument is developed in three ways. First, trade and resource data, in the form of trade dependence profIles and resource abundance profIles, are found to support the view that there is, in general, a linkage between patterns of trade and resource endowments, as implied by the Heckscher-Ohlin theorem. Second, empirical study of the factor content of trade in a cross-country setting, based on the Heckscher-Ohlin-Vanek (HOV) model, reveals that sign patterns of trade in factor services can provide another criterion for measuring the relative abundance of resource endowments. The empirical results reinforce the evidence provided by the trade dependence and resource abundance profiles of 61 economies and shed light on the controversial Leontief Paradox. Third, econometric analysis using Bayesian econometric methods shows that 10 trade aggregates (two primary products, four crops and four manufactured goods) are, in general, well explained by 11 resource endowments (capital, three categories of labour, four categories of land, plus coal, oil and minerals). The results suggest that structural change took place in the patterns of trade and resource endowments in the period 1965 to 1988, and consequently that shifts in sources of international comparative advantage occurred during this period. While the results largely support the main argument of the thesis, they also suggest that a substantial amount of trade in commodities, particularly manufactured commodities, may be explained by factors that go beyond the neoclassical paradigm. Finally, the thesis discusses implications for Asia-Pacific economies of the major findings.

description: At present we know nothing about the nature of the dark energy accounting for about 70% of the energy density of the Universe. One possibility is that the dark energy is provided by an extremely light field, the quintessence, rolling down its potential. Even though the underlying particle theory responsible for the present quintessential behaviour of our Universe is unknown, such a theory is likely to have contact with supersymmetry, supergravity or (super)string theory. In these theories, there are plenty of scalar fields (moduli) which are gravitationally coupled to all the other degrees of freedom and have vacuum expectation values of the order of the Planck scale. We point out that, in theories which allow a consistent embedding of quintessence, the generic gravitational interaction of the moduli fields with the quintessence field gives rise to a contribution to the energy density from the moduli fields of the order of the critical energy density of the universe today. Furthermore, the interaction contribution can generically enhance the negativity of the equation of state.

description: The aim of this paper is to explore the contribution of ecolabel HVAC systems, which are already available in the market, to the energy upgrade of existing dwellings, placing emphasis on whether they can constitute an efficient means of dealing with energy poverty. For this reason, the effects of these systems, when placed on an existing detached dwelling, are considered not only in relationship to energy savings, but also with other energy, environmental, social and economic criteria. Comparison is made between scenarios of the energy upgrade with various ecolabel HVAC systems, as well as scenarios of the energy upgrade of the building envelope. A parametric analysis is carried out, regarding the aforementioned criteria in the four climatic zones of Greece and three building typologies. Scenarios are prioritised, using the Multi-Attribute Utility Theory. Based on this analysis, conclusions are drawn, concerning the most advantageous energy saving actions, from an energy, environmental, social and economic point of view, for each building type and climatic zone. It is found that certain synergies of ecolabel HVAC systems with RES systems can be effective energy saving solutions, capable to face energy poverty.
$Nπ$-state contamination in lattice calculations of the nucleon pseudoscalar form factor

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)

description: The nucleon-pion-state contribution in the QCD 3-point function of the pseudoscalar density is calculated to leading order in chiral perturbation theory. It predicts a nucleon-pion-state contamination in lattice estimates for the pseudoscalar form factor $G_{\rm P}(Q^2)$ determined with the plateau method. Depending on the momentum transfer $Q^2$ the contamination varies between -20% and +50% for a source-sink separation of 2 fm. The nucleon-pion-state contamination also causes violations in the generalized Goldberger-Treiman relation among the pseudoscalar and the axial nucleon form factors, the dominant source being the nucleon-pion-state contamination in the induced pseudoscalar form factor $\tilde{G}_{\rm P}(Q^2)$. Comparing the chiral perturbation theory predictions with lattice results of the PACS collaboration we find reasonable agreement even for source-sink separations as small as 1.3 fm.

description: Femtosecond pump probe experiments are reported on quasiparticle relaxation and recombination in YBa2Cu4O8 as a function of temperature and polarization. The data show a 2-component relaxation similar to YBa2Cu3O7-δ, one component being assocated with the superconducting transition, and the other with the pseudogap below T* The relaxation time tau_p associated with the pseudogap is found to be T-independent, while the relaxation time tau_g of the component obseved only below Tc exhibits a clear divergence near Tc. A strong polarisation anisotropy of the picosecond transient is observed below Tc which is attributed to the anisotropy of the probe transition matrix elements.

description: Children conceived by Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) are at moderately increased risk for a number of undesirable outcomes, including low birth weight. Whether the additional risk is associated with specific procedures used in ART or biological factors that are intrinsic to infertility has been the subject of much debate, as has the mechanism by which ART or infertility might influence this risk. The potential effect of ART clinical and laboratory procedures on the gamete and embryo epigenomes heads the list of mechanistic candidates that might explain the association between ART and undesirable clinical outcomes. The reason for this focus is that the developmental time points at which ART clinical and laboratory procedures are implemented are precisely the time points at which large-scale reorganization of the epigenome takes place during normal development. In this manuscript, we review the many human studies comparing the epigenomes of ART children with children conceived in vivo, as well as assess the potential of individual ART clinical and laboratory procedures to alter the epigenome.
A weight-adjusted discontinuous Galerkin method for the poroelastic wave equation: penalty fluxes and micro-heterogeneities

description: We introduce a high-order weight-adjusted discontinuous Galerkin (WADG) scheme for the numerical solution of three-dimensional (3D) wave propagation problems in anisotropic porous media. We use a coupled first-order symmetric stress-velocity formulation. Careful attention is directed at (a) the derivation of an energy-stable penalty-based numerical flux, which offers high-order accuracy in presence of material discontinuities, and (b) proper treatment of micro-heterogeneities (sub-element variations) in the numerical scheme. The use of a penalty-based numerical flux avoids the diagonalization of Jacobian matrices into polarized wave constituents necessary when solving element-wise Riemann problems. Micro-heterogeneities are accurately and stably incorporated in the numerical scheme using easily-invertible weight-adjusted mass matrices. The convergence of the proposed numerical scheme is proven and verified by using convergence studies against analytical plane wave solutions. The proposed method is also compared against an existing implementation using the spectral element method to solve the poroelastic wave equation.

 Diagnosis of larva. Surface of head capsule smooth; frontal lines parallel, coronal line absent (Fig. 3A); nasale with median projection bearing a few teeth (Figs 4A, 9A); each epistomal lobe strongly projecting anteriorly, left lobe bearing a group of stout setae anteriorly, right lobe without setae (Figs 4A, 9A); mandibles strongly asymmetrical, apical inner tooth of left mandible with a group of ca. four to six seta-like projections (Figs 5C–D, 10C–D); submentum completely fused to head capsule (not even remnants of submental line are present); labium small, more or less reduced (Figs 5G–H, 10G–H); ligula reduced (Figs 5G–H, 10G–H); cervical sclerites present but narrow and indistinct (Fig. 7A); prosternal sclerite divided into two sclerites (Fig. 7B); mesonotum with three mesonotal sclerites on each side, posterior sclerites largest (Figs 2A, 7C); abdominal segments weakly lobate laterally (Fig. 2A); spiracular atrium developed, but small (Fig. 7D).
 The larva of Laccobius is most similar to that of Oocyclus Sharp, 1882, which has similar head morphology. On the basis of the description of the first instar larva of Oocyclus sp. by ARCHANGELSKY (1997), they are distinguishable by the following characters: sensillum SE1 is narrow and long in Laccobius, whereas short and stout in Oocyclus; dorsal cuticular spines on mentum are absent in Laccobius, whereas present in Oocyclus; frontal lines are parallel in Laccobius, whereas lyriform in Oocyclus; MX 8 and MX 9 slender setae in Laccobius, whereas stout setae bearing subapical tooth in Oocyclus; and mesonotal sclerites of Laccobius proportionally smaller than those of Oocyclus.

Social relations of production and fertility in a South Indian village

description: The pattern of population growth in India is studied in a historical perspective and through a detailed case study of a village in Tamil Nadu. The premise of the analysis is that population reproduction is part of the social reproduction of the whole society and thus inseparable from it. In a given historical context, the demographic regime is conditioned largely by the prevailing social relations of production. The combined effects on generational reproduction of capitalist development in agriculture and in other areas of economic activity, and of the superficially well-orchestrated family planning program, depend on the gender relations and class structure of the village. Given the social reality, a government-sponsored program aimed at reducing fertility rates cannot work in isolation. It would demand a radical restructuring of the Society in a direction that can facilitate the individual's self-determination and adoption of the birth-control methods that suit the individual's working conditions and social relations. Far-reaching social and economic changes that have direct bearing on the underprivileged are, therefore, required to solve the basic problems of the masses.
Cultural influences on financial reporting and propensity to use the extraordinary items adjustments to smooth reported profits : a comparative study of Australian and Singaporean practice

description: Accounting practices are observed to vary from country to country. It has become increasingly important that a standard accounting "language" be developed so that financial reports convey the same message to users from different countries and cultures. It is proposed that observed differences in accounting practice are due to underlying cultural differences and that these must be understood in order to harmonize accounting practice. Hofstede's (1980) definition of and framework for the analysis of culture have been used to assist in identifying the predominant national cultures of Australia and Singapore - two countries with similar British colonial roots but with distinctly different national cultures. Gray's accounting values model, which extends Hofstede's analytical framework into the accounting "sub-culture" arena, and the Harrison and McKinnon model, which seeks to analyze the responses of an accounting regulatory system to historical events, both point to there being a link between the accounting regulation practices and the national cultural values of Australia and Singapore. Singaporean's Confucianistic values (deference to authority, valuing of traditions, collectivism, strong work ethic, etc.) result in a greater acceptance of government intervention in accounting regulation than is the case for Australia where individualism, independence and suspicion of authority are key cultural elements. The implication drawn from this analysis is the expectation that manipulative profit smoothing in financial reporting would be practised to a greater degree by corporate directors in Australia than in Singapore, because societal norms influence their discretionary choice of accounting policies and compliance attitudes. This expectation was confirmed by empirical analysis of reported company financial information in both countries covering the period 1972 to 1989, providing supportive evidence for the view that cultural differences do affect the propensity to indulge in profit smoothing manipulation (using extraordinary items adjustments). The usefulness of the Co V (i.e. the coefficient of vanatIon of the relative change in reported net profit figures) as an adequate indicator for detecting the practice of profit smoothing manipulation and as an unbiased cross-cultural comparative tool was affirmed. The analytical framework developed for the analysis of cultural influences on accounting practice should have useful application in other spheres of accounting and management practice.

description: An experiment addressing electron capture (EC) decay of hydrogen-like $^{142}$Pm$^{60+}$ ions has been conducted at the experimental storage ring (ESR) at GSI. The decay appears to be purely exponential and no modulations were observed. Decay times for about 9000 individual EC decays have been measured by applying the single-ion decay spectroscopy method. Both visually and automatically analysed data can be described by a single exponential decay with decay constants of 0.0126(7) s$^{-1}$ for automatic analysis and 0.0141(7) s$^{-1}$ for manual analysis. If a modulation superimposed on the exponential decay curve is assumed, the best fit gives a modulation amplitude of merely 0.019(15), which is compatible with zero and by 4.9 standard deviations smaller than in the original observation which had an amplitude of 0.23(4).

In this paper, after a historical review of the investigations on the subject in recent centuries and a brief account of the current state of knowledge, the topic is addressed in a more rigorous way adopting a comprehensive and multidisciplinary viewpoint. A phenomenological model providing operational results in educational context is proposed. --- Le spiegazioni del colore del mare proposte a scopo didattico o divulgativo si rivelano spesso incomplete o eccessivamente semplificate, e dunque inadeguate alla comprensione della totalità del fenomeno. In questo articolo, dopo una rassegna storica delle indagini sull'argomento negli ultimi due secoli e un accenno allo stato attuale delle conoscenze, il problema viene affrontato in modo più rigoroso adottando un punto di vista comprensivo e pluridisciplinare. Viene proposto un modello fenomenologico in grado di fornire risultati operativi in contesto didattico.

description: The electron-proton collider HERA is being upgraded to provide higher luminosity from the end of the year 2001. In order to enhance the selectivity on exclusive processes a Fast Track Trigger (FTT) with high momentum resolution is being built for the H1 Collaboration. The FTT will perform a 3-dimensional reconstruction of curved tracks in a magnetic field of 1.1 Tesla down to 100 MeV in transverse momentum. It is able to reconstruct up to 48 tracks within 23 mus in a high track multiplicity environment. The FTT consists of two hardware levels L1, L2 and a third software level. Analog signals of 450 wires are digitized at the first level stage followed by a quick lookup of valid track segment patterns. For the main processing tasks at the second level such as linking, fitting and deciding, a multifunctional processing board has been developed by the ETH Zurich in collaboration with Supercomputing Systems (Zurich). It integrates a high-density FPGA (Altera APEX 20K600E) and four floating point DSPs (Texas Instruments TMS320C6701). This presentation will mainly concentrate on second trigger level hardware aspects and on the implementation of the algorithms used for linking and fitting. Emphasis is especially put on the integrated CAM (content addressable memory) functionality of the FPGA, which is ideally suited for implementing fast search tasks like track segment linking.

Reading into the past : a historiography of Mangaia in the Cook Islands

description: This thesis applies techniques of textual analysis to selected Mangaian historical narratives. By viewing the texts as literary constructions an historian is able to gain a better perspective of the way the narrations were structured and clothed with particular ethnographic and historical textures. The introduction discusses the principal collectors and the ways they represented their work. The first part establishes the bases upon which the Mangaian past was told. Despite the transformations experienced since the arrival of the missions a significant degree of continuity can still be found in the roles of traditional experts, in particular of women, and in the ways traditions are transmitted. The second part explores a selection of Mangaian texts. Chapters four and five delve into the extant versions of a Mangaian origin myth and their categories of the other world—the supernatural. The roles of the ancestral figures and the supernatural beings emphasise the important place occupied by mythological texts in the telling of Mangaia’s past. The physical, cultural and spiritual mapping of Mangaia is established through the conflicts and partial resolutions achieved between the supernatural agencies and the island’s founding ancestor. Chapter six explores the connections between these categories of the otherworld and historically recorded visits to the island. The fearful attitude these visitors provoked and the attempts made by Mangaians to control the encounters reflect the ways Mangaians viewed the world. Chapters seven to twelve examine texts which elucidate the roles performed by the principal actors in Mangaian society. The conversion and prophecy dreams reported by the priestly spiritual ruler emphasise the shamanic dimension of the Mangaian priesthood. The supreme political or temporal rulership is discussed; in particular, the contested nature of the office; the periodic appearance of a subsidiary rulership; and the manner of succession to temporal rule. The narratives emphasise the complementarity envisaged between the spiritual and temporal rulers. Their cooperative duality was understood as ensuring the island’s peace and prosperity. Conversely, the island suffered when these rulers opposed each other. However, the hierarchical appearance of Mangaian society structured around these complementary rulerships was always leavened by crosscutting personal, family, tribal or religious loyalties which acted to reintegrate society after political conflicts. Reading into the many texted past of Mangaia not only emphasises the richness and diversity of its ethnographic record but enables an historian to check the interested nature of particular texts and their narrators. This approach may be applied to any historical enterprise.

description: We address the problem of cross-modal information retrieval in the domain of remote sensing. In particular, we are interested in two application scenarios: i) cross-modal retrieval between panchromatic (PAN) and multi-spectral imagery, and ii) multi-label image retrieval between very high resolution (VHR) images and speech based label annotations. Notice that these multi-modal retrieval scenarios are more challenging than the traditional uni-modal retrieval approaches given the inherent differences in distributions between the modalities. However, with the growing availability of multi-source remote sensing data and the scarcity of enough semantic annotations, the task of multi-modal retrieval has recently become extremely important. In this regard, we propose a novel deep neural network based architecture which is considered to learn a discriminative shared feature space for all the input modalities, suitable for semantically coherent information retrieval. Extensive experiments are carried out on the benchmark large-scale PAN - multi-spectral DSRSID dataset and the multi-label UC-Merced dataset. Together with the Merced dataset, we generate a corpus of speech signals corresponding to the labels. Superior performance with respect to the current state-of-the-art is observed in all the cases.

description: The rapid development of communication systems with mobile receivers at higher data rates has lead to the importance of studies on information transfer over highly time varying channels. Under such circumstances, the channel variations become fast and the receiver is unable to track the channel during the predefined block length. Here existing results for the channel capacity and the optimal input distribution, under the assumption of knowledge of the channel state information (CSI) are no longer valid. In reality the capacity is significantly reduced in the absence of the CSI at both the transmitter and the receiver. Furthermore, finding the optimal input distribution with no CSI is considered an important problem in information theory. This thesis first considers the important case of Gaussian signalling in both single input single output (SISO) and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) fading channels with no CSI. For such a signalling scheme we develop closed form solutions for the mutual information at any signal to noise ratio (SNR) for any number of antennas. Furthermore, we use these new expressions to identify the bounds at high SNR and particularly the use of optimal antennas at both ends of a communication system. To overcome the existing diÂ±culties in calculating the optimal input and the capacity, a novel approach is shown to identify the key characteristics of the optimal input in non-coherent Rayleigh fading MIMO channels. Unlike most work in the literature, this leads to a capacity upper bound which can be obtained without extensive simulations for any antenna number at any SNR. Furthermore, the capacity is shown numerically, deriving the optimal input distribution for any antenna number using a scaler channel model. In particular, some key properties of the optimal input distribution at low SNR is investigated studying the loss in information transfer due to unknown CSI in MIMO wireless communication systems.

description: We study and compare different examples of stellar evolutionary synthesis input parameters used to produce photoionisation model grids using the MAPPINGS V modelling code. The aim of this study is to (a) explore the systematic effects of various stellar evolutionary synthesis model parameters on the interpretation of emission lines in optical strong-line diagnostic diagrams, (b) characterise the combination of parameters able to reproduce the spread of local galaxies located in the star-forming region in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and (c) investigate the emission from extremely metal-poor galaxies using photoionisation models. We explore and compare the stellar input ionising spectrum (stellar population synthesis code [Starburst99, SLUG, BPASS], stellar evolutionary tracks, stellar atmospheres, star-formation history, sampling of the initial mass function) as well as parameters intrinsic to the H II region (metallicity, ionisation parameter, pressure, H II region boundedness). We also perform a comparison of the photoionisation codes MAPPINGS and CLOUDY. On the variations in the ionising spectrum model parameters, we find that the differences in strong emission-line ratios between varying models for a given input model parameter are small, on average ~0.1 dex. An average difference of ~0.1 dex in emission-line ratio is also found between models produced with MAPPINGS and CLOUDY. Large differences between the emission-line ratios are found when comparing intrinsic H II region parameters. We find that low-metallicity galaxies are better explained by a density-bounded H II region and higher pressures better encompass the spread of galaxies at high redshift.

How two neutrino superbeam experiments do better than one

description: We examine the use of two superbeam neutrino oscillation experiments with baselines $\lsim 1000$ km to resolve parameter degeneracies inherent in the three-neutrino analysis of such experiments. We find that with appropriate choices of neutrino energies and baselines two experiments with different baselines can provide a much better determination of the neutrino mass ordering than a single experiment alone. Two baselines are especially beneficial when the mass scale for solar neutrino oscillations $δm^2_{\rm sol}$ is $\gsim 5\times10^{-5}$ eV$^2$. We also examine CP violation sensitivity and the resolution of other parameter degeneracies. We find that the combined data of superbeam experiments with baselines of 295 and 900 km can provide sensitivity to both the neutrino mass ordering and CP violation for $\sin^22θ_{13}$ down to 0.03 for $|δm^2_{\rm atm}| \simeq 3\times10^{-3}$ eV$^2$. It would be highly advantageous to have a 10% determination of $|δm^2_{\rm atm}|$ before the beam energies and baselines are finalized, although if $|δm^2_{\rm atm}|$ is not that well known, the neutrino energies and baselines can be chosen to give fairly good sensitivity for a range of $|δm^2_{\rm atm}|$.

description: We prove that the inclusive single-gluon production cross section for a hadron colliding with a high-density target factorizes into the gluon distribution function of the projectile, defined as usual within the DGLAP collinear approximation, times the cross section for scattering of a single gluon on the strong classical color field of the target. We then derive the gluon-proton (nucleus) inelastic cross section and show that it is (up to logarithms) infrared safe and that it grows slowly with center of mass energy. Furthermore, we discuss jet transverse momentum broadening for the case of nuclear targets. We show that in the saturation regime, in contrast to the perturbative regime, the width of the transverse momentum distribution is infrared finite and grows rapidly with energy and rapidity. In both regimes, however, transverse momentum broadening exibits the same dependence on atomic number A.
