description: Researchers using stated preference environmental valuation techniques are interested in identifying the extent to which framing effects impact on value estimates. Framing effects occur when the context in which the hypothetical scenarios and tradeoffs put to respondents in an application differ from those that would be important if actual transactions were involved. Because scenarios have to be defined succinctly to respondents, the challenge for researchers is to identify how the particular ‘frame’ used affects responses, and how different groups of respondents may view settings. In this paper, an application of a stated preference technique termed Choice Modelling is reported in the context of pastoral land development in Queensland and the Northern Territory. Choice Modelling embodies some features that enable the impact of framing to be assessed directly.
Structural and electronic properties of an azamacrocycle, C26H18N6

description: We compute the structure of an azamacrocycle, C26H18N6. Two approximatively planar elliptical structures with C2 or CI symmetry are found to be nearly degenerate. The roughly circular conformation observed in metal complexes turns out to be ~ 0.6 eV higher in energy. We suggest that this difference is mainly due to electrostatic interactions. We discuss the results on various levels of theory (Hartree-Fock, local density and gradient corrected density functional calculations).

description: This thesis is the result of part-time endeavours begun in 1964, to satisfy an interest created by a second short visit to Northeast Thailand in that year. The original plan envisaged the creation of an atlas of Northeast Thailand, similar to the "Atlas of Mysore State: Volume 1", prepared in 1961 under the leadership of Professor Learmonth. In concept it was to be a largely descriptive regional geography following traditional systematic lines and with a final chapter synthesizing the data into a simple regional structure.

Delhi, 1911-1922 : society and politics in the new imperial capital of India
Creators: name: Ferrell, Donald W.
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1969

description: 'Delhi, I9II-I9 2 2 1 stems from a discussion with Ravinder Kumar in April 1966. The investigation which arose from that discussion rested on the hypothesis that the transfer of the imperial capital from Calcutta to Delhi, a transfer which took place on 1 October 1913, resulted in significant social and political changes in the city. The major drawback to such a study lay in the fact that there were no extant local newspapers for the period. The major advantage lay in the fact that in view of Delhi's special relationship with the Government of India, a larger number of communications on matters of policy and action passed between the Delhi Administration and the Government of India, than was the case for many similar administrative areas. The material available did not prove conducive to substantiating or disproving this hypothesis. What the available material does substantiate is the thesis that nationalism in Delhi transformed the limited horizons of a restricted number of educated persons who participated in politics in the city prior to 1911 into a movement which drew upon new classes and communities and which focussed upon issues of all-India significance. The corollary to this thesis is that the growth of political consciousness contributed to a heightened awareness of parochial issues. The thesis, then, is most concerned with who participated in nationalist politics in the city of Delhi between 1911 and 1922 and why they did so. The work of George Rude on the French Revolution offers the greatest methodological insight into the problem of assessing mass participation in political movements. It will become obvious to the reader, however, that nothing like the detailed evidence upon which Rude depends is available to the historian of modern India.
The Swampland Distance Conjecture and Towers of Tensionless Branes

description: The Swampland Distance Conjecture states that at infinite distance in the scalar moduli space an infinite tower of particles become exponentially massless. We study this issue in the context of 4d type IIA and type IIB Calabi-Yau compactifications. We find that for large moduli not only towers of particles but also domain walls and strings become tensionless. We study in detail the case of type IIA and IIB ${\cal N}=1$ CY orientifolds and show how for infinite Kähler and/or complex structure moduli towers of domain walls and strings become tensionless, depending on the particular direction in moduli space. For the type IIA case we construct the monodromy orbits of domain walls in detail. We study the structure of mass scales in these limits and find that these towers may occur at the same scale as the fundamental string scale or the KK scale making sometimes difficult an effective field theory description. The structure of IIA and IIB towers are consistent with mirror symmetry, as long as towers of exotic domain walls associated to non-geometric fluxes also appear. We briefly discuss the issue of emergence within this context and the possible implications for 4d vacua.

Best Practice Benchmarking in Australian Agriculture: Issues and Challenges

description: The quest to shape Australian agriculture for improved and sustainable profitability is leading Research and Development Corporations, agri-service consultants and government to devote substantial effort into development of new farm business analysis and benchmarking programs. ‘Biz Check’, ‘Pork Biz’, ‘Wool Enterprise Benchmarking’, ‘Dairy Business Focus’ and ‘Business Skills and Best Practice’ for beef and sheep meat producers are examples of current farm management and training programs where business analysis and benchmarking are integral components. Benchmarking is currently very popular with farmers, service providers and funding agencies. However, benchmarking has been likened to comparative analysis with both criticised by past and present prominent agricultural economists as ‘random numbers’ and ‘rampant empiricism’. The authors agree with advocates of benchmarking that it has potential as a supply chain and farm business improvement tool. They also agree with critics that much of what is currently flagged as benchmarking is actually financial analysis, lacks linkage to underlying enterprise operations and fails to add value in between-business comparison. Most packages do not encompass off-farm, supply-chain environment factors. Further, some ‘benchmarking’ employs some unsound methodology. Reconciliation of current conflicting, polar positions is recommended in the development of best practice benchmarking, differentiated by its process based, diagnostic power. In best practice mode, benchmarking should be capable of delving beneath performance outcomes and into a logical framework for making changes to enterprise processes that are systemically linked to productivity and profitability.

description: Machine learning pipeline potentially consists of several stages of operations like data preprocessing, feature engineering and machine learning model training. Each operation has a set of hyper-parameters, which can become irrelevant for the pipeline when the operation is not selected. This gives rise to a hierarchical conditional hyper-parameter space. To optimize this mixed continuous and discrete conditional hierarchical hyper-parameter space, we propose an efficient pipeline search and configuration algorithm which combines the power of Reinforcement Learning and Bayesian Optimization. Empirical results show that our method performs favorably compared to state of the art methods like Auto-sklearn , TPOT, Tree Parzen Window, and Random Search.
Stiffness of the Heisenberg Spin-Glass Model at Zero- and Finite-Temperatures in Three Dimensions

description: We examine the stiffness of the Heisenberg spin-glass (SG) model at both zero temperature (T=0) and finite temperatures ($T \ne 0$) in three dimensions. We calculate the excess energies at T=0 which are gained by rotating and reversing all the spins on one surface of the lattice, and find that they increase with the lattice size $L$. We also calculate the excess free-energies at $T \ne 0$ which correspond to these excess energies, and find that they increase with $L$ at low temperatures, while they decrease with increasing $L$ at high temperatures. These results strongly suggest the occurrence of the SG phase at low temperatures. The SG phase transition temperature is estimated to be $T_{\rm SG} \sim 0.19J$ from the lattice size dependences of these excess free-energies.

description: We decompose yield difference relative to a reference level into components attributable to (1) efficiency difference, and movements along the frontier due to (2) land quality, to (3) land size, and to (4) other inputs. The production frontier is built using nonparametric methods requiring no specification of the functional form of the technology. We analyze the contributions to yield relative to a reference unit in terms of the quadripartite decomposition finding that results depend on the choice of the unit of reference. If the reference unit is chosen to be the mean, land size contributions are found to be negatively correlated to yield with usual finite moments regression methods. Also nonparamteric correlation confirms the negative sign of the relationship. If the reference unit is chosen to be the median instead, land size contributions are found to be negatively correlated to yield with usual finite moments regression methods. But nonparametric correlation is not statistically significant because many farmers have no contribution to production difference from their different land sizes. Integrated squared density difference tests show in both cases efficiency has a major role in shaping the distribution.

description: The attention of geomorphologists has, for many decades, been focused on the more temperate areas of the earth's surface. This orientation, understandable as it is, has resulted in relative neglect of those zones which experience climatic extremes. The humid tropics, and especially their mountainous parts, are particularly under-represented in geomorphic literature, despite the efforts of some early workers. Papers presented to a conference on climatic geomorphology in 1927 (Thorlecke, 1927a) included some on the tropics (e.g. Thorbecke, 1927b). Other German workers who were concerned with the humid tropics were Behrmann (1917, 1928), Freise (1932, 1935) and Sapper (1914, 1935). Among early French workers de Martonne (1940, 1946) contributed several papers concerned with the geomorphology of the tropics. More recent Freich geomorphologists (e.g. Birot, 1968; Tricart, 1972) have worked in the humid tropics and have reported their findings using climatic geomorphology as a framework. Others (e.g. Ollier, 1959; Berry and Ruxton, 1961; Thomas, 1969) have worked on tropical geomorpholog/ without such a framework. Thus, in the last decade there has been a significant increase in the number of contributions on the humid tropics.

description: What can we learn from solar neutrino observations? Is there any solution to the solar neutrino anomaly which is favored by the present experimental panorama? After SNO results, is it possible to affirm that neutrinos have mass? In order to answer such questions we analyze the current available data from the solar neutrino experiments, including the recent SNO result, in view of many acceptable solutions to the solar neutrino problem based on different conversion mechanisms, for the first time, using the same statistical procedure. This allows us to do a direct comparison of the goodness of the fit among different solutions, from which we can discuss and conclude on the current status of each proposed dynamical mechanism. These solutions are based on different assumptions: (a) neutrino mass and mixing, (b) non-vanishing neutrino magnetic moment, (c) the existence of non-standard flavor-changing and non-universal neutrino interactions and (d) the tiny violation of the equivalence principle. We investigate the quality of the fit provided by each one of these solutions not only to the total rate measured by all the solar neutrino experiments but also to the recoil electron energy spectrum measured at different zenith angles by the Super-Kamiokande collaboration. We conclude that several non-standard neutrino flavor conversion mechanisms provide a very good fit to the experimental data which is comparable with (or even slightly better than) the most famous solution to the solar neutrino anomaly based on the neutrino oscillation induced by mass.

Estimating Time Variation of Market Power: Case of U.S. Soybean Exports

description: As the development of methodology in new empirical industrial organization (NEIO), there have been increasing number of studies that estimate market power of sellers and/or buyers in various kinds of agricultural supply chains. Many of them, however, do not capture time variation of market power during the sample periods, even though they use long time series data. If the degree of market power actually changes along the time, such an estimation that uses only whole sample of the data may provide a misleading conclusion. The main objective of this study is to establish a way of estimating time variation of market power and making a time series index of it. Such an index enables us to make a comparison with indices of market structure, such as market share, which has been one of the main research topics of traditional industrial organization studies. Empirical analysis is conducted using the case of the U.S. soybean exports. The methodology employed in this study to estimate market power of the U.S. exporters is residual demand model, which enables us to derive the degree of market power and has widely been used in the context of international markets. To capture time variation of the market power, rolling window regression method is applied to the model, which is a methodology that repeats regressions using subsamples of total data by shifting the start and end points with a fixed window. Using the parameter of residual demand elasticity in each rolling estimation, a time series index of market power is calculated. The estimation results of rolling regressions of residual demand model using GMM-nonIV and the window size of 30 show that the U.S. had market power over importers to some extent until 1995, but had less and little power from the late 1990s to 2010. It also showed that the U.S. had almost no market power over China from 1996 to 2010. On the other hand, especially from the late 1990s, the U.S. had increasing market power over Mexico and Japan, although the extent was larger to Japan than to Mexico. Using the estimated index of market power and published index of market shares, then the relation between market structure and performance was analyzed. The analysis indicates that the changes in market power of the U.S. soybean exporters to importers average correspond to the decrease of the U.S. market share in the world soybean exports and to the increase of importers concentration due to the increase of China’s imports. It is also pointed out that indices of the U.S. market power over Mexico and Japan who depend soybean imports heavily on the U.S. may correspond to the changes in the market structure of the U.S. grain exporting industry.

description: We investigate prospects for indirect detection of Kaluza--Klein dark matter, focusing on the annihilation radiation of the first Kaluza--Klein excitation of the Hypercharge gauge boson $B^{(1)}$ in the Galactic halo, in particular we estimate neutrino, gamma-ray and synchrotron fluxes. Comparing the predicted fluxes with observational data we are able to constrain the $B^{(1)}$ mass (and therefore the compactification scale). The constraints depend on the specific model adopted for the dark matter density profile. For a NFW profile the analysis of synchrotron radiation puts a lower bound on the $B^{(1)}$ mass of the order of $\simeq 300$ GeV.

description: Many blockchain-based algorithms, such as Bitcoin, implement a decentralized asset transfer system, often referred to as a cryptocurrency. As stated in the original paper by Nakamoto, at the heart of these systems lies the problem of preventing double-spending; this is usually solved by achieving consensus on the order of transfers among the participants. In this paper, we treat the asset transfer problem as a concurrent object and determine its consensus number, showing that consensus is, in fact, not necessary to prevent double-spending. We first consider the problem as defined by Nakamoto, where only a single process---the account owner---can withdraw from each account. Safety and liveness need to be ensured for correct account owners, whereas misbehaving account owners might be unable to perform transfers. We show that the consensus number of an asset transfer object is $1$. We then consider a more general $k$-shared asset transfer object where up to $k$ processes can atomically withdraw from the same account, and show that this object has consensus number $k$. We establish our results in the context of shared memory with benign faults, allowing us to properly understand the level of difficulty of the asset transfer problem. We also translate these results in the message passing setting with Byzantine players, a model that is more relevant in practice. In this model, we describe an asynchronous Byzantine fault-tolerant asset transfer implementation that is both simpler and more efficient than state-of-the-art consensus-based solutions. Our results are applicable to both the permissioned (private) and permissionless (public) setting, as normally their differentiation is hidden by the abstractions on top of which our algorithms are based.

description: Low- and intermediate-mass stars at the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) are known to be prevalent dust providers to galaxies. However, the mechanisms responsible for the formation and acceleration of dust in the cool extended atmospheres of AGB stars are still open to debate. We present visible polarimetric imaging observations of the oxygen-rich AGB star IK Tau obtained with SPHERE-ZIMPOL (phase 0.27) as well as interferometric observations with AMBER. IK Tau was observed with ZIMPOL at three wavelengths in the pseudo-continuum (645, 748, and 820 nm), in the H$α$ line at 656.3 nm, and in the TiO band at 717 nm. The AMBER observations were carried out in the wavelength region of the CO first overtone lines near 2.3 $μ$m (R=12 000). The polarimetric imaging capabilities of SPHERE-ZIMPOL have allowed us to spatially resolve clumpy dust clouds at 20--50 mas from the central star, which corresponds to 2--5 $R_{\star}$ when combined with a central star's angular diameter of 20.7$\pm$1.53 mas measured with AMBER. The diffuse, asymmetric dust emission extends out to $\sim$73 $R_{\star}$. We find that the TiO emission extends to 150 mas (15 $R_{\star}$). The AMBER data in the CO lines also suggest a molecular outer atmosphere extending to $\sim$1.5 $R_{\star}$. The results of our 2-D Monte Carlo radiative transfer modelling of dust clumps suggest that the polarized intensity and degree of linear polarization can be reasonably explained by small-sized (0.1 $μ$m) grains of Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$, MgSiO$_{3}$, or Mg$_{2}$SiO$_{4}$ in an optically thin shell ($τ_{550\mathrm{nm}}$=0.5$\pm$0.1) with an inner boundary radius of 3.5 $R_{\star}$. IK Tau's mass-loss rate is 20 to 50 times higher than the previously studied AGB stars W Hya, R Dor, and $o$ Cet. Nevertheless, our observations of IK Tau revealed that clumpy dust formation occurs close to the star as seen in those low mass-rate AGB stars.

description: This study employs stated preference data from a choice experiment to address two issues related to consumer demand for functional dairy products: (1) Consumers’ preferences for functional dairy product attributes in Germany, and (2) are willingness-to-pay estimates obtained in the choice experiment affected by starting point bias? Based on a random parameter logit model, our results indicate that dairy products enriched with omega-3 fatty acids and bearing a health claim that is aimed at healthy blood vessels and healthy metabolism are highly valued. Furthermore, results reveal that willingness-to-pay is indeed susceptible to starting point bias. In a two-split sample approach, we find that varying the price levels displayed in the first choice set significantly affects respondents’ willingness-to-pay for functional dairy products.

description: It is nontrivial whether the average size of a ring polymer should become smaller or larger under a topological constraint. Making use of some knot invariants, we evaluate numerically the mean square radius of gyration for ring polymers having a fixed knot type, where the ring polymers are given by self-avoiding polygons consisting of freely-jointed hard cylinders. We obtain plots of the gyration radius versus the number of polygonal nodes for the trivial, trefoil and figure-eight knots. We discuss possible asymptotic behaviors of the gyration radius under the topological constraint. In the asymptotic limit, the size of a ring polymer with a given knot is larger than that of no topological constraint when the polymer is thin, and the effective expansion becomes weak when the polymer is thick enough.

description: По данным ряда исследований можно предположить, что имеет место определенная взаимосвязь между фактом работы в ночные часы и ухудшением состояния здоровья, которое проявляется возникновением не только острых и хронических заболеваний, но, что особенно важно, ряда неврологических и психических расстройств. Исходя из этого, мы посчитали актуальным проведение исследования, посвященного проблеме корреляции качества сна и возможных нарушений нервной регуляции с фактом трудовой деятельности в ночные часы. По результатам оценки показателей у групп испытуемых, соответственно работающих и не работающих в ночные часы, выявили, что у занятых трудовой деятельностью в ночное время лиц наблюдалась склонность к симпатикотонии, но риск истощения нервной системы оказался ниже, чем у лиц, не работающих в ночное время. Предполагается, что в основе этого – адаптация нервной системы к работе в стрессовом режиме и расширение компенсаторных возможностей.

description: Since its discovery in the aurorae of Jupiter ~30 years ago, the H$_{3}^{+}$ ion has served as an invaluable probe of giant planet upper atmospheres. However, the vast majority of monitoring of planetary H$_{3}^{+}$ radiation has followed from observations that rely on deriving parameters from column-integrated paths through the emitting layer. Here, we investigate the effects of density and temperature gradients along such paths on the measured H$_{3}^{+}$ spectrum and its resulting interpretation. In a non-isothermal atmosphere, H$_{3}^{+}$ column densities retrieved from such observations are found to represent a lower limit, reduced by 20% or more from the true atmospheric value. Global simulations of Uranus' ionosphere reveal that measured H$_{3}^{+}$ temperature variations are often attributable to well-understood solar zenith angle effects rather than indications of real atmospheric variability. Finally, based on these insights, a preliminary method of deriving vertical temperature structure is demonstrated at Jupiter using model reproductions of electron density and H$_{3}^{+}$ measurements. The sheer diversity and uncertainty of conditions in planetary atmospheres prohibits this work from providing blanket quantitative correction factors; nonetheless, we illustrate a few simple ways in which the already formidable utility of H$_{3}^{+}$ observations in understanding planetary atmospheres can be enhanced.

description: This dissertation is an attempt to measure systematically Australia public opinion as it relates to foreign policy. This measurement is taken over a considerable time span, generally speaking, the post-World War II era, but major emphasis has been given to the years between 1966 and 1972, with one chapter looking at the period after 1972. So, in a sense, the thesis concentrates on the period from the departure from the political scene of Sir Robert Menzies to the Prime Ministership of E.G. Whitlam.

description: The world economic crisis was a major factor that caused industrial production and trade over the globe decrease. It closed millions of working places and effected fear of political instability to spread even over the states that have been considered as stable. Economies all over the world face with wide range recessions, that will lead to the 3% to 7% GNP drop with respect to the last decade increasing trend. In such uncertainty conditions, where authorities are not sure about crisis development and duration, banner task is imposed: uncertainty must be passed. In Serbian economy, good model for crisis overcoming is agriculture strategic development and especially within it, the safe food production. One of guidelines of Serbian agriculture development is modernization and change of production structure towards stronger market orientation and improvement of alimentary industry total efficiency. Increased productively technological restructuring achieving increased efficiency, as well as greater competitiveness at domestic and foreign markets should be based on economical, ecological and energy criterions. Also, applied scientific research papers should allow significant increase of size and competitiveness of Serbian agriculture production.

description: We investigate the effects of environmental dielectric screening on the electronic dispersion and the band gap in the atomically-thin, quasi two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor WS$_2$ using correlative angle-resolved photoemission and optical spectroscopies, along with first-principles calculations. We find the main effect of increased environmental screening to be a reduction of the band gap, with little change to the electronic dispersion of the band structure. These essentially rigid shifts of the bands results from the special spatial structure of the changes in the Coulomb potential induced by the dielectric environment in the 2D limit. Our results suggest dielectric engineering as a non-invasive method of tailoring the band structure of 2D semiconductors and provide guidance for understanding the electronic properties of 2D materials embedded in multilayer heterostructures.
