description: Modeling financial time series by stochastic processes is a challenging task and a central area of research in financial mathematics. As an alternative, we introduce Quant GANs, a data-driven model which is inspired by the recent success of generative adversarial networks (GANs). Quant GANs consist of a generator and discriminator function, which utilize temporal convolutional networks (TCNs) and thereby achieve to capture long-range dependencies such as the presence of volatility clusters. The generator function is explicitly constructed such that the induced stochastic process allows a transition to its risk-neutral distribution. Our numerical results highlight that distributional properties for small and large lags are in an excellent agreement and dependence properties such as volatility clusters, leverage effects, and serial autocorrelations can be generated by the generator function of Quant GANs, demonstrably in high fidelity.

title: Corporate board gender diversity, stock liquidity, individualism and ESG disclosure: From global evidence
Creators: name: AlKhawaja, Abdallah
Publisher: name: Griffith University

Subjects: subject: gender diversity
subject: corporate boards
subject: ESG disclosure
subject: stock liquidity

description: This thesis comprises three empirical studies investigating the impact of board gender diversity, stock liquidity, and individualism on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosure in the global markets. The first empirical study is about board gender diversity and ESG disclosure. This study examines the impact of gender-diverse boards and the staggered initiation of gender quotas around the world on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosure. Using a sample of 48 countries from 2005 to 2016, the study finds a significantly positive relation between gender-diverse boards and ESG disclosure. This implies that firms with gender-diverse boards are more likely to disclose more ESG-related information to their stakeholders. [...]

description: Groundwater dynamics in a sandy unconfined aquifer have been investigated through laboratory experiments and numerical modelling. The laboratory experiments on the propagation of groundwater waves have yielded new insights into underlying physics. Numerical models have been developed to consider some aspects of groundwater dynamics such as the influence of seepage face and meniscuses formation, hysteresis effects, unsaturated flow dynamics, and porous media deformation. The laboratory data has then been used to verify numerical models and to examine their prediction capabilities. New laboratory data from sand flume experiments for an idealized coastal aquifer forced by a simple harmonic forcing across a vertical boundary provided detailed measurements of the piezometric head very close to the interface. The data helped to consider the processes occurring near the boundary condition, particularly with respect to meniscus and seepage face formation during the falling tide. A numerical solution of the Richards’ equation was developed to model the influence of seepage face formation and meniscus suction and was evaluated against the data. The model-data comparisons show good agreement with the pore pressure behavior high above the water table, but are sensitive to the choice of moisture retention parameters in the model.

description: For nonzero rational D, which may be taken to be a squarefree integer, let E_D be the elliptic curve Dy^2=x^3-x over Q arising in the "congruent number" problem. It is known that the L-function of E_D has sign -1, and thus odd analytic rank, if and only if |D| is congruent to 5, 6, or 7 mod 8. For such D, we expect by the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer that the arithmetic rank of each of these curves E_D is odd, and therefore positive. We prove that E_D has positive rank for each D such that |D| is in one of the above congruence classes mod 8 and also satisfies |D|<10^6. Our proof is computational: we use the modular parametrization of E_1 or E_2 to construct a rational point P_D on each E_D from CM points on modular curves, and compute P_D to enough accuracy to usually distinguish it from any of the rational torsion points on E_D. In the 1375 cases in which we cannot numerically distinguish P_D from a torsion point of E_D, we surmise that P_D is in fact a torsion point but that E_D has rank 3, and prove that the rank is positive by searching for and finding a non-torsion rational point. We also report on the conjectural extension to |D|<10^7 of the list of curves E_D whose analytic rank is odd and greater than 1, which raises several new questions.

Subjects: subject: Police procedural justice

subject: Barriers to procedural justice

description: Over the last ten years there has been an increasing focus on procedural justice policing. Interest in this area has grown as studies have established that public perceptions of the police as procedurally just can improve public compliance, cooperation, and satisfaction with law enforcement. However, less is known about the factors that prevent or inhibit police officers from demonstrating procedural justice when dealing with the public. The literature that does exist on procedural justice barriers has proposed a range of issues – from time constraints limiting officers’ ability to demonstrate procedural justice, to procedural justice not being a priority for officers. There is a research gap for a systematic identification of the barriers that may inhibit officers from using procedural justice. When examining police behaviour towards the public, a characteristic of the policing literature is the focus on the operational stage of officers’ careers, to the exclusion of how recruit training may instil these behaviours. Recruit training is where officers learn the knowledge and skills to be an operational officer; knowledge and skills that will adapt and change once they begin to apply them in real-life situations. As yet, there is no in-depth understanding of the effect of recruit training on procedural justice policing, the consequence being that there may be factors in how recruits are prepared for police work that inhibits police demonstrations of procedural justice when they become operational.

description: My personal experiences as a refugee inform how I see the multiple geographical and social landscapes of Australia and Vietnam, and how I mediate a new sense of home from between these diverse experiences. In turn, this provides new knowledge and understanding of the physical and cultural terrain of both countries. Within my studio work I have used this approach to create or reinvent layered landscapes through my personal experiences and memories in order to explore how a contingent, illusive/elusive ‘home’, that has also performed the role of a mythical symbol of refuge in the Vietnamese diaspora, has been inexorably linked to identity and belonging. In my written work undertaken as part of the process of this candidature I have also examined the ways in which narratives of personal journeys within the diaspora experience have been described in ways that have avoided the usual negative associations of ‘refugee status’, and that have instead been undertaken via a more positive approach to interpreting that role as akin to that of the ‘explorer’.

description: The author provides an analytical model to capture mechanisms of supranational impact on national public administrations. The aim is to understand how we can perceive a European administrative space given the persistent diversity between member states. In face of the overly complex subject matter, it is argued that a typology that presents ideal types of interaction modes between supranational and national levels of administration provides in fact a suitable pragmatic approach to understand the potential impact of European integration on national civil services. Scrutinizing which mechanisms of possible influence-taking the European Union (EU) invokes shows that administrative integration does actually not suggest overall convergence. Instead the shared administrative space works precisely because it preserves state-sensitive diversity. Only in the context of enlargement did the EU need to present a single model to the candidate states and thus the notion of an ever more converging single administrative space was invented. Despite the external promotion of a single model, the driving dynamic of the emerging European administrative space remains increased cooperation and common administration that respects and sustains differences between independent national public administrations. The theoretical framework and empirical application therefore provide a first step for further research to tackle how supranational integration changes national public administration.

description: [edited] Cyanobacteriochromes are reversibly photochromic light switches, exclusive to cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteriochromes have a relatively simple yet highly modular structure. At the minimum, these photoreceptors consist of a cGMP-specific phosphodiesterases, adenylyl cyclases and FhlA (GAF) domain with a covalently attached bilin chromophore. In most cases however, these GAF domains can be found in a variety of protein architectures with other sensory and effector domains. The cyanobacteriochrome GAF domain can be tuned to almost any sensitivity in the UV, visible and IR spectra. The ability to measure the makeup of light is likely among the reasons for the incredible biodiversity of cyanobacteria. In this thesis, I have contributed new understanding of cyanobacteriochromes by carrying an in silico analysis on several hundred cyanobacteriochromes and related GAF domains. The final product was a statistical model of the cyanobacteriochrome GAF domain. This model was used to predict the absorption properties of two putative GAF domains from a marine cyanobacterium. One of them, 7GP-03, was experimentally verified via recombinant protein expression and spectral analyses. This protein had an unusual photocyle but with the predicted spectral properties. Subsequent in vivo studies were also carried out with the help of a novel type of bioreactor. These revealed commercially-interesting behavior which was linked to cyanobacteriochrome activity.

Iterative Optimization and Simplification of Hierarchical Clusterings
Creators: name: Fisher, D.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Clustering is often used for discovering structure in data. Clustering systems differ in the objective function used to evaluate clustering quality and the control strategy used to search the space of clusterings. Ideally, the search strategy should consistently construct clusterings of high quality, but be computationally inexpensive as well. In general, we cannot have it both ways, but we can partition the search so that a system inexpensively constructs a `tentative' clustering for initial examination, followed by iterative optimization, which continues to search in background for improved clusterings. Given this motivation, we evaluate an inexpensive strategy for creating initial clusterings, coupled with several control strategies for iterative optimization, each of which repeatedly modifies an initial clustering in search of a better one. One of these methods appears novel as an iterative optimization strategy in clustering contexts. Once a clustering has been constructed it is judged by analysts -- often according to task-specific criteria. Several authors have abstracted these criteria and posited a generic performance task akin to pattern completion, where the error rate over completed patterns is used to `externally' judge clustering utility. Given this performance task, we adapt resampling-based pruning strategies used by supervised learning systems to the task of simplifying hierarchical clusterings, thus promising to ease post-clustering analysis. Finally, we propose a number of objective functions, based on attribute-selection measures for decision-tree induction, that might perform well on the error rate and simplicity dimensions.

A semi-implicit compressible model for atmospheric flows with seamless access to soundproof and hydrostatic dynamics

description: We introduce a second-order numerical scheme for compressible atmospheric motions at small to planetary scales. The collocated finite volume method treats the advection of mass, momentum, and mass-weighted potential temperature in conservation form while relying on Exner pressure for the pressure gradient term. It discretises the rotating compressible equations by evolving full variables rather than perturbations around a background state, and operates with time steps constrained by the advection speed only. Perturbation variables are only used as auxiliary quantities in the formulation of the elliptic problem. Borrowing ideas on forward-in-time differencing, the algorithm reframes the authors' previously proposed schemes into a sequence of implicit midpoint, advection, and implicit trapezoidal steps that allows for a time integration unconstrained by the internal gravity wave speed. Compared with existing approaches, results on a range of benchmarks of nonhydrostatic- and hydrostatic-scale dynamics are competitive. The test suite includes a new planetary-scale inertia-gravity wave test highlighting the properties of the scheme and its large time step capabilities. In the hydrostatic-scale cases the model is run in pseudo-incompressible and hydrostatic mode with simple switching within a uniform discretization framework. The differences with the compressible runs return expected relative magnitudes. By providing seamless access to soundproof and hydrostatic dynamics, the developments represent a necessary step towards an all-scale blended multimodel solver.

description: The random walk with hyperbolic probabilities that we are introducing is an example of stochastic diffusion in a one-dimensional heterogeneous media. Although driven by site-dependent one-step transition probabilities, the process retains some of the features of a simple random walk, shows other traits that one would associate with a biased random walk and, at the same time, presents new properties not related with either of them. In particular, we show how the system is not fully ergodic, as not every statistic can be estimated from a single realization of the process. We further give a geometric interpretation for the origin of these irregular transition probabilities.

description: This research was incited by the release of the Prep to Year 10 (P-10) Australian Curriculum which included the significant feature of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) both as an independent subject and as a subsection of each subject within the Australian Curriculum. This research focuses on the implementation of ICT in music education, which is one of the five subject areas within the Arts Curriculum. The purpose of this research was to investigate the lived experiences and perspectives of classroom music teachers throughout Queensland and to gain an insight into the organisational practices that positively and negatively influence the implementation of ICT in music education. Classroom music teachers were deliberately chosen to participate in this research due to their exclusive knowledge belonging to the specialist subject area of music education. The timing of this research occurred one year after the scheduled implementation of the Australian Curriculum: The Arts – music subject. This delay allowed a year for classroom music teachers to experience the curriculum and establish ideas and resources they require to deliver the curriculum. This mixed methods research was conducted using explanatory sequential mixed methods, which were used to gather music teachers’ perspectives regarding issues such as, but not limited to: availability of ICT resources, ICT support, teacher confidence, current teaching practices and the provision of professional development. Following the analysis of the quantitative survey data, a number of qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted to further investigate the identified themes, to provide a deeper understanding of the practical issues and ensure triangulation. The data revealed that classroom music teachers perceived their attempts to implement ICT in music education programs were significantly inhibited due to the lack of accessibility to adequate ICT resources, ICT funding and ICT support. These issues forced classroom music teachers to favour resources based on availability, reliability and familiarity which limited pedagogical methodologies to whole class learning activities, contrary to the development of ICT proficiencies stated in curriculum documents. Although classroom music teachers were held responsible and accountable for the delivery of the Australian Curriculum, they were subject to organisational practices and decision making by School Leadership within local schools. Local context decision making was found to significantly contribute to the inadequate supply of resources necessary to support the implementation of ICT in music education and directly determined an inequitable delivery of music education throughout Queensland.

description: A necessary and sufficient condition for Pauli's spin-statistics relation is given for nonrelativistic anyons, bosons, and fermions in two and three spatial dimensions. For any point particle species in two spatial dimensions, denote by J the total (i.e., spin plus orbital) angular momentum of a single particle, and denote by j the total angular momentum of the corresponding two-particle system with respect to its center of mass. In three spatial dimensions, write J_z and j_z for the z-components of these vector operators. In two spatial dimensions, the spin statistics connection holds if and only if there exists a unitary operator U such that j=2UJU^*. In three dimensions, the analogous relation cannot hold as it stands, but restricting it to an appropriately chosen subspace of the state space yields a sufficient and necessary condition for the spin-statistics connection.

These results, which are equivalent to a sub-Laplacian comparison theorem for the sub-Riemannian distance, are obtained by introducing a suitable notion of sub-Riemannian Bakry-Émery curvature. The model spaces for comparison are variational problems coming from optimal control theory. As an application we establish the sharp measure contraction property for 3-Sasakian manifolds satisfying a suitable curvature bound.

We construct the Lax pairs associated with the $O(d,d)$-transformed model and find that they are in general non-local because they depend on the winding modes. We conclude that every $O(d,d;\mathbb{R})$ deformation preserves integrability. As an application we compute the Lax pairs for continuous families of deformations, such as $J\bar{J}$ marginal deformations and TsT transformations of the three-sphere with $H$-flux.

description: In the search for stable topological semimetals with clean band profiles, we have screened all the 3$d$ metal-intercalated transition-metal dichalcogenides (3dI-TMDCs) by performing hybrid-functional-based ab initio calculations. Two classes of topological materials featuring twelve Weyl nodes in the $k_z=0$ plane (without spin-orbit interactions) are identified: (a) time-reversal-breaking Weyl semimetals VT$_3$X$_6$ (ferromagnetic) and (b) spinless Weyl semimetals MnT$_3$X$_6$ (nonmagnetic), where T=Nb, Ta; X=S, Se. VNb$_3$S$_6$, prototypical of class (a), is half-metallic with only two bands crossing at the Fermi level to form Weyl nodes. MnNb$_3$S$_6$ in the nonmagnetic phase is essentially a spinless version of VNb$_3$S$_6$ featuring an equally clean and simple band profile. Although the space group symmetry (P6$_3$22) implies that the degeneracy between the two bands is lifted for $k$ away from the Weyl nodes, the gap remains extremely small ($\ll$ 0.1 meV) along a loop connecting the Weyl nodes. This quasi-nodal-line degeneracy is explained in terms of the quasi-mirror symmetry of the lattice, induced by the in-plane twofold rotation axes, and the specific orbital nature of the bands. 3dI-TMDCs are chemically and thermally stable stoichiometric compounds containing no toxic elements and are a viable platform for the study of topological condensed-matter physics.
description: Revised to include a detailed discussion of the effect of spin-orbit interactions on the topology of VNb$_3$S$_6$. [See Figs. 2(d) and (e).] The other figures were also updated for enhanced clarity

title: Music Beyond Gameplay: Motivators in the Consumption of Videogame Soundtracks
Creators: name: Diaz-Gasca, Juan Sebastian
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Videogame soundtracks
subject: Videogame music composition

description: This study seeks to present the motivators behind the consumption of videogame soundtracks outside of the gameplay environment. This dissertation proposes a three-part consumption model that describes these different motivators and the interactions between these imperatives. At the heart of this study is the intention to demonstrate that videogame music has become a very important part of a videogame’s concept, design, and marketing; it not only plays a significant role within the game, it has also transcended the medium and is enjoyed by audiences beyond the game. This media migration generates questions regarding its effects and the motivations why people listen to videogame music outside of the game, and the ramifications of this consumption at the personal, social, and game industry levels. Why are people listening to videogame music, one that is designed for an interactive medium, in a linear medium (such as a CD, an audio file, or a re-interpretation)? In what ways does the game experience and the music create associations that affect the audience at a personal level? How did game music become this consumable object and what is its value for consuming audiences? How does the consumption of OSTs affect future game music composition and what is the role of the audience in this? And what does this mean for the shelf-life and marketability of videogames?

description: We provide a general account of parallelism in discourse, and apply it to the special case of resolving possible readings for instances of VP ellipsis. We show how several problematic examples are accounted for in a natural and straightforward fashion. The generality of the approach makes it directly applicable to a variety of other types of ellipsis and reference.

description: Whereas the Gerlits-Nagy gamma-property is strictly weaker than the Galvin-Miller strong gamma-property, the corresponding strong notions for the Menger, Hurewicz, Rothberger, Gerlits-Nagy (*), Arkhangel'skii and Sakai properties are equivalent to the original ones. The main result is that almost each of these properties admits the game theoretic characterization suggested by the stronger notion. We also solve a related problem of Kocinac and Scheepers, and answer a question of Iliadis.

description: We specify an algorithm that builds up a hierarchy of referential discourse segments from local centering data. The spatial extension and nesting of these discourse segments constrain the reachability of potential antecedents of an anaphoric expression beyond the local level of adjacent center pairs. Thus, the centering model is scaled up to the level of the global referential structure of discourse. An empirical evaluation of the algorithm is supplied.

description: Research into the automatic acquisition of lexical information from corpora is starting to produce large-scale computational lexicons containing data on the relative frequencies of subcategorisation alternatives for individual verbal predicates. However, the empirical question of whether this type of frequency information can in practice improve the accuracy of a statistical parser has not yet been answered. In this paper we describe an experiment with a wide-coverage statistical grammar and parser for English and subcategorisation frequencies acquired from ten million words of text which shows that this information can significantly improve parse accuracy.

description: Zirconium pentatelluride was recently reported to be a 3D Dirac semimetal, with a single conical band, located at the center of the Brillouin zone. The cone's lack of protection by the lattice symmetry immediately sparked vast discussions about the size and topological/trivial nature of a possible gap opening. Here we report on a combined optical and transport study of ZrTe5, which reveals an alternative view of electronic bands in this material. We conclude that the dispersion is approximately linear only in the a-c plane, while remaining relatively flat and parabolic in the third direction (along the b axis). Therefore, the electronic states in ZrTe5 cannot be described using the model of 3D Dirac massless electrons, even when staying at energies well above the band gap 6 meV found in our experiments at low temperatures.
