description: We study the dynamics of the tachyon field $T$. We derive the mass of the tachyon as the pole of the propagator which does not coincide with the standard mass given in the literature in terms of the second derivative of $V(T)$ or $Log[V(T)]$. We determine the transformation of the tachyon in order to have a canonical scalar field $ϕ$. This transformation reduces to the one obtained for small $\dot T$ but it is also valid for large values of $\dot T$. This is specially interesting for the study of dark energy where $\dot T\simeq 1$. We also show that the normalized tachyon field $ϕ$ is constrained to the interval $T_2\leq T \leq T_1$ where $T_1,T_2$ are zeros of the original potential $V(T)$. This results shows that the field $ϕ$ does not know of the unboundedness of $V(T)$, as suggested for bosonic open string tachyons. Finally we study the late time behavior of tachyon field using the L'Hôpital rule.

description: The resonance perturbation of planetary ring by distant satellite is considered. The gravity interaction between rings particles is taken into account. The gravitation interaction between particles in rings can change shape of non-circular rings, so it is differ from keplerian ellipse. The shift between simple mean motion resonances and parametric resonance zones is detected. This shift depends on ring properties.

description: In this proceeding the demand for a high power density of drives in mobile machinery and their constraints are described. To achieve a high power density with electrical machines liquid cooling is a favoured option. Usually it is state of the art to use cooling jackets in those machines due to manufactureability and robustness. The behaviour of often used rectangular channel structures is well known and can be described with basic thermodynamics. Possible improvements by using vortex generators inside the channel of a cooling jacket structure are discussed. A basic dimple geometry is shown and also evaluated for a cooling spiral.
Imaginative space and the construction of community : the drama of Augustine’s two cities in the English Renaissance
Creators: name: Minton, Gretchen E.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis traces the development of Augustine's paradigm of the two cities (the City of God and the earthly city) in the cultural poetics of the English Renaissance. Although scholars have studied the impact of Augustine's model on theology, historical consciousness, and political theories in the Middle Ages and Renaissance, little attention has been paid to the genealogy of the more specifically "literary" aspects of the idea of the two cities. My line of inquiry is the relationship between Augustine's model of the two cities and the idea of drama. More specifically, this project explores the ways in which the idea o f the two cities spoke to various communities—of readers, of worshippers, and ultimately, of playgoers. Augustine's view of drama is divided; on the one hand, he speaks at length about the evil influence of Roman spectacles, but on the other hand, he acknowledges that the world itself is a theatre for God's cosmic drama. However, this employment of drama is limited in Augustine's writing, because his greater commitment is to the idea of Scripture. This interplay between drama and Scripture, I suggest, is an integral part of the two-cities model that is related to his theology of history. The tension between the idea of drama and the idea o f the book is evident in English Reformation appropriations of Augustine's model, such as those of John Bale and John Foxe, who changed the terminology to "the two churches." The second section of my thesis shows how these Reformers contained their own "dramatic" adaptations of the two cities within an even narrower theatre than Augustine's—a theatre constituted and contained by the Word. Shifting the focus to secular drama, the final section concerns Shakespeare's use of some facets of the two-cities model in his Jacobean plays, and examines the effects of removing this construct from its religious context. The result, I argue, is a theatre that celebrates its own aesthetic power and flaunts its sheer physicality, resisting the presumed stability of the written word.

description: Environmental noise is one of the critical issues for the observation of gravitational waves, but is difficult to predict in advance. Therefore, to evaluate the adverse impact of environmental noise on the detector sensitivity, understanding the detector response to the environmental noise in actual setup is crucial, for both the observation and future upgrades. In this paper, we introduce and verify a new method of the environmental noise injection test based on the post-observation commissioning of KAGRA. This new method (response function model) includes the frequency conversion and nonlinearity of power, which are the effects that are not considered in the current model (coupling function model) used in LIGO and Virgo. We also confirmed the validity of our method by applying it to an environmental noise-enriched dataset and successfully reproducing them.

description: In the present work we use the modified versions of the MIT bag model, on which both a vector field and a self-interacting term are introduced, to obtain hot quark matter and to investigate the QCD phase diagram. We first analyze two-flavored quark matter constrained to both the freeze-out and the liquid-gas phase transition at the hadronic phase. Later, three-flavored quark matter subject to $β$ equilibrium and charge neutrality is used to compute quark star macroscopic properties, which are confronted with recent observational massive and canonical star radius results. Finally, a comparison with QCD phase diagrams obtained from the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model is performed.

description: This work present a music dataset named MusicTM-Dataset, which is utilized in improving the representation learning ability of different types of cross-modal retrieval (CMR). Little large music dataset including three modalities is available for learning representations for CMR. To collect a music dataset, we expand the original musical notation to synthesize audio and generated sheet-music image, and build musical notation based sheet-music image, audio clip and syllable-denotation text as fine-grained alignment, such that the MusicTM-Dataset can be exploited to receive shared representation for multimodal data points. The MusicTM-Dataset presents 3 kinds of modalities, which consists of the image of sheet-music, the text of lyrics and synthesized audio, their representations are extracted by some advanced models. In this paper, we introduce the background of music dataset and express the process of our data collection. Based on our dataset, we achieve some basic methods for CMR tasks. The MusicTM-Dataset are accessible in https: //github.com/dddzeng/MusicTM-Dataset.

description: We consider supersymmetric compactifications of type IIB and the weakly coupled heterotic string with G resp.H-flux and gaugino condensation in a hidden sector included. We point out that proper inclusion of the non-perturbative effects changes the Hodge structure of the allowed fluxes in type IIB significantly. In the heterotic theory it is known that, in contrast to the potential read off from dimensional reduction, the effective four-dimensional description demands for consistency a non-vanishing H^{2,1} component if a H^{3,0} component is already present balancing the condensate. The H^{2,1} component causes a non-Kahlerness of the underlying geometry whose moduli space is, however, not well-understood. We show that the occurrence of H^{2,1} might actually be avoided by using a KKLT-like two-step procedure for moduli stabilization. Independently of the H^{2,1} issue one-loop corrections to the gauge couplings were argued to cause a not well-controlled strong coupling transition. This problem can be avoided as well when the effects of world-sheet instantons are included. They will also stabilize the Kahler modulus what was accomplished by H^{2,1} before.

description: It is widely recognized that a physical system can only respond to a periodic driving significantly when the driving frequency matches the normal mode frequency of the system, which leads to resonance. Off-resonant phenomena are rarely considered because of the difficulty to realize strong coupling between physical systems and off-resonant waves. Here we examine the response of a magnetic system to squeezed light and surprisingly find that the magnons are maximally excited when the effective driving frequency is several orders of magnitude larger than the resonant frequency. The generated magnons are squeezed which brings the advantage of tunable squeezing through an external magnetic field. Furthermore, we demonstrate that such off-resonant quasi-particle excitation is universal in all the hybrid systems in which the coherent and parametric interaction of bosons exists and that it is purely a quantum effect, which is rooted in the quantum fluctuations of particles in the squeezed vacuum. Our findings may provide an unconventional route to study off-resonant phenomena and may further benefit the use of hybrid matter-light systems in continuous variable quantum information.

description: We present the results of a three dimensional, locally isothermal, non-self-gravitating SPH code which models protoplanetary disks with two fluids: gas and dust. We ran simulations of a 1 Msun star surrounded by a 0.01 Msun disk comprising 99% gas and 1% dust in mass and extending from 0.5 to ~300 AU. The grain size ranges from 0.001 mm to 10 m for the low resolution (~25 000 SPH particles) simulations and from 0.1 mm to 10 cm for the high resolution (~160 000 SPH particles) simulations. Dust grains are slowed down by the sub-Keplerian gas and lose angular momentum, forcing them to migrate towards the central star and settle to the midplane. The gas drag efficiency varies according to the grain size, with the larger bodies being weakly influenced and following marginally perturbed Keplerian orbits, while smaller grains are strongly coupled to the gas. For intermediate sized grains, the drag force decouples the dust and gas, allowing the dust to preferentially migrate radially and efficiently settle to the midplane. The resulting dust distributions for each grain size will indicate, when grain growth is added, the regions when planets are likely to form.

description: The Erdos-Renyi classical random graph is characterized by a fixed linking probability for all pairs of vertices. Here, this concept is generalized by drawing the linking probability from a certain distribution. Such a procedure is found to lead to a static complex network with an arbitrary connectivity distribution. In particular, a scale-free network with the hierarchical organization is constructed without assuming any knowledge about the global linking structure, in contrast to the preferential attachment rule for a growing network. The hierarchical and mixing properties of the static scale-free network thus constructed are studied. The present approach establishes a bridge between a scalar characterization of individual vertices and topology of an emerging complex network. The result may offer a clue for understanding the origin of a few abundance of connectivity distributions in a wide variety of static real-world networks.

description: Many computer science experiments require increased control of the wide area network, include everything from guaranteed quality of service to low-level network programability using software defined networking. Chameleon provides these capabilities though direct low-level network connection between the research and public clouds, however creating them is challenging. While most public clouds provide low-level networking services (e.g. AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute, or Google Dedicated Interconnect), using them is typically expensive; on the research cloud side, they can involve complicated campus network configuration arrangements that often limit access to this type of experimental configuration to a few a few select scientists or campus IT staff themselves. This Jupyter notebook walks through the deployment of an experiment spanning Chameleon and AWS using CloudConnect. It deploys the network, compute servers, and a fully configured BGP router. Further, the BGP router can, optionally, be deployed on a dedicated OpenFlow networking switch or as software Quagga router existing on a standard x86 compute host. The full networking configuration is depicted in the figure below.

description: The subject of this diploma thesis is the relationship between personal data protection and cybercrime. At the heart of cybercrime is privacy, which is affected in a variety of ways. The problem will be examined from two reverse sides of the same issue. In the first part we will analyze the ways in which cybercrime undermines personal data protection and privacy, we will examine the reasons why personal data is a popular object of attack for cybercriminals. Moreover, we will approach the ways to protect the data of the subject against these cybercrimes, while addressing the dilemmas of national and European legislators to address the modern challenge. Next, in the second part we will explore the reverse side of the issue, namely, the limits of the protection of personal data of third parties, but also of criminals themselves when solving cybercrimes. The dilemma between privacy and security is part of this concern.

description: We calculate the leading order corrections to the anti-B --> X(s) gamma decay in the standard model with two large flat universal extra dimensions. We find that the contributions involving the exchange of Kaluza-Klein modes of the physical scalar field a^+-_(kl) depend logarithmically on the ultraviolet cut-off scale Lambda. We emphasize that all flavor-changing neutral current transitions suffer from this problem. Although the ultraviolet sensitivity weakens the lower bound on the inverse compactification radius 1/R that follows from anti-B --> X(s) gamma, the constraint remains stronger than any other available direct measurement. After performing a careful study of the potential impact of cut-off and higher-order effects, we find 1/R > 650 GeV at 95% confidence level if errors are combined in quadrature. Our limit is at variance with the parameter region 1/R

description: Chiral effective field theory ($χ$EFT), as originally proposed by Weinberg, promises a theoretical connection between low-energy nuclear interactions and quantum chromodynamics (QCD). However, the important property of renormalization-group (RG) invariance is not fulfilled in current implementations and its consequences for predicting atomic nuclei beyond two- and three-nucleon systems has remained unknown. In this work we present a first and systematic study of recent RG-invariant formulations of $χ$EFT and their predictions for the binding energies and other observables of selected nuclear systems with mass-numbers up to $A =16$. Specifically, we have carried out ab initio no-core shell-model and coupled cluster calculations of the ground-state energy of $^3$H, $^{3,4}$He, $^{6}$Li, and $^{16}$O using several recent power-counting (PC) schemes at leading order (LO) and next-to-leading order (NLO), where the subleading interactions are treated in perturbation theory. Our calculations indicate that RG-invariant and realistic predictions can be obtained for nuclei with mass number $A \leq 4$. We find, however, that $^{16}$O is either unbound with respect to the four $α$-particle threshold, or deformed, or both. Similarly, we find that the $^{6}$Li ground-state resides above the $α$-deuteron separation threshold. These results are in stark contrast with experimental data and point to either necessary fine-tuning of all relevant counterterms, or that current state-of-the-art RG-invariant PC schemes at LO in $χ$EFT lack necessary diagrams -- such as three-nucleon forces -- to realistically describe nuclei with mass number $A>4$.

description: We study target-searching processes on a percolation, on which a hunter tracks a target by smelling odors it emits. The odor intensity is supposed to be inversely proportional to the distance it propagates. The Monte Carlo simulation is performed on a 2-dimensional bond-percolation above the threshold. Having no idea of the location of the target, the hunter determines its moves only by random attempts in each direction. For lager percolation connectivity $p\gtrsim 0.90$, it reveals a scaling law for the searching time versus the distance to the position of the target. The scaling exponent is dependent on the sensitivity of the hunter. For smaller $p$, the scaling law is broken and the probability of finding out the target significantly reduces. The hunter seems trapped in the cluster of the percolation and can hardly reach the goal.

description: We describe a mathematical model for the aggregation of starved first-stage C elegans larvae (L1s). We propose that starved L1s produce and respond chemotactically to two labile diffusible chemical signals, a short-range attractant and a longer range repellent. This model takes the mathematical form of three coupled partial differential equations, one that describes the movement of the worms and one for each of the chemical signals. Numerical solution of these equations produced a pattern of aggregates that resembled that of worm aggregates observed in experiments. We also describe the identification of a sensory receptor gene, srh-2, whose expression is induced under conditions that promote L1 aggregation. Worms whose srh-2 gene has been knocked out form irregularly shaped aggregates. Our model suggests this phenotype may be explained by the mutant worms slowing their movement more quickly than the wild type.

description: Northern Australia's live cattle exports to Southeast Asia have increased dramatically in recent years. In Australia's current political environment calling for greater domestic value-adding, the issue of potential trade-offs between Australia's live cattle and slaughtered beef exports are examined. From an investigation into the origins of Australia's live cattle export industry and the production and marketing of beef in Australia's major live cattle importing countries, it is concluded that the two industries supply separate segments of the market. Trade-offs between imported Australian beef and beef derived from imported Australian cattle are not significant issues at present.

description: This thesis attempts to analyze issues concerning ethical issues in religious tourism and in particular the ethical dimensions of the communication of the and nuns of I.M. Meteors and tourists - visitors to them. The method followed during the research process is qualitative by conducting interviews and observation. The results of the research showed that the monasteries of Meteora are particularly well-known throughout the world and therefore attract a large number of visitors. The result of this is the increased traffic from Spring to Autumn. Several times, as it was found, the large volume of visitors affects the orderly operation of the monasteries in terms of the observance of the regulations and even in the preservation of the privacy of the monks. The challenges are significant and stem largely from the diversity of visitors but also from the needs of the monasteries themselves.

description: Using the contingent valuation method farmers in the high rainfall region of Western Australia were asked to value the information that they used to reduce risk associated with wool prices. To ascertain whether these values were both valid and reliable they were combined with additional data collected from the questionnaires and incorporated into profit functions so that farmers' attitudes towards risk could be estimated. These risk attitudes may be deemed reliable and valid providing they correspond to those estimated by other researchers. Results showed that the farmers' risk aversion coefficients were comparable to those estimated in the Australian literature. Therefore it may be argued that these farmers were able to nominate valid and reliable valuations for the information that they used.

description: Symmetry of photoexcited states with two photoinduced carriers in two-dimensional Mott insulators is examined by applying the numerically exact diagonalization method to finite-size clusters of a half-filled Hubbard model in the strong-coupling limit. The symmetry of minimum-energy bound state is found to be s-wave, which is different from a d_{x^2-y^2} wave of a two-hole pair in doped Mott insulators. We demonstrate that the difference is originated from an exchange of fermions due to the motion of a doubly occupied site. Correspondingly large-shift Raman scattering across the Mott gap exhibits a minimum-energy excitation in the A1 (s-wave) channel. We discuss implications of the results for the Raman scattering and other optical experiments.

description: Αγγλική Περίληψη The aim of the present thesis was to identify the main reasons that lead to the explantation of a multifocal intraocular lens. To address the issue, we performed a systematic review of the literature, following the guidelines of the Preferred Report Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA). The search strategy included all articles from PubMed, Medline, Google Scholar databases and the Cochrane library, from inception to 06 July 2023, applying specific criteria. All potentially eligible studies received a full-text evaluation to assess whether inclusion criteria were satisfied. The patient symptoms and findings which resulted in a multifocal intraocular lens removal were collected from the articles and then were reported and analyzed. Furthermore, we addressed the most common reasons for an unsatisfied patient after multifocal intraocular lens implantation. We also described the various surgical techniques to remove an intraocular lens and finally, we discussed the safety of the procedure and the patient’s satisfaction after a multifocal intraocular lens exchange.

Για τον προσδιορισμό τους, πραγματοποιήθηκε μια συστηματική ανασκόπηση της βιβλιογραφίας, σύμφωνα με τις οδηγίες της Preferred Report Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA). Η στρατηγική αναζήτησης περιλάμβανε όλα τα διαθέσιμα άρθρα από τις βάσεις δεδομένων του PubMed, του Medline, του Google Scholar και του Cochrane library, από την αρχή έως της 06 Ιουλίου 2023, εφαρμόζοντας συγκεκριμένα κριτήρια. Σε όλες τις μελέτες που ελέγχθηκαν για καταλληλόλητα, έγινε αξιολόγηση του πλήρους κειμένου για να εκτιμηθεί αν πληρούσαν τα κριτήρια εισαγωγής στην ανασκόπηση. Τα συμπτώματα των ασθενών και τα ευρήματα που οδήγησαν στην αφαίρεση του πολυεστιακού ενδοφακού συλλέχθηκαν από τα άρθρα και στην συνέχεια συγκεντρώθηκαν και αναλύθηκαν. Ένα άλλο θέμα που ασχολήθηκε η ανασκόπηση, ήταν να αναφέρει τους κύριους λόγους δυσαρέσκειας των ασθενών μετά από την εμφύτευση ενός πολυεστιακού ενδοφακού. Επιπλέον, περιγράφηκαν οι διάφορες χειρουργικές τεχνικές για την αφαίρεση ενός ενδοφακού και συζητήθηκε η ασφάλεια της επέμβασης και η τελική ικανοποίηση των ασθενών μετά από την ανταλλαγή του πολυεστιακού ενδοφακού.

description: We generalize the notion of ends and coends in category theory to the realm of module categories over finite tensor categories. We call this new concept "module (co)end". This tool allows us to give different proofs to several known results in the theory of representations of finite tensor categories. As a new application, we present a description of the relative Serre functor for module categories in terms of a module coend, in a analogous way as a Morita invariant description of the Nakayama functor of abelian categories presented in [J. Fuchs, G. Schaumann and C. Schweigert, Eilenberg-Watts calculus for finite categories and a bimodule Radford S^4 theorem, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 373 (2020), 1-40]

description: Farm adjustment is a complex process involving decisions by farmers about a wide range of economic and non-economic factors which influence the farm business and farm family. The economics literature emphasises the importance of economic factors in the adjustment behaviour of farmers. However, the observed adjustment behaviour of farmers does not correspond very closely to that predicted by that literature. Insights from the rural sociology and psychology literature offer new perspectives on farmer behaviour which are of relevance and use to both economic researchers and policy makers concerned with farm adjustment.

description: While most purpose-built 21cm intensity mapping experiments are close-packed interferometer arrays, general-purpose dish arrays should also be capable of measuring the cosmological 21cm signal. This can be achieved most efficiently if the array is used as a collection of scanning autocorrelation dishes rather than as an interferometer. As a first step towards demonstrating the feasibility of this observing strategy, we show that we are able to successfully calibrate dual-polarisation autocorrelation data from 64 MeerKAT dishes in the L-band (856-1712 MHz, 4096 channels), with 10.5 hours of data retained from six nights of observing. We describe our calibration pipeline, which is based on multi-level RFI flagging, periodic noise diode injection to stabilise gain drifts and an absolute calibration based on a multi-component sky model. We show that it is sufficiently accurate to recover maps of diffuse celestial emission and point sources over a 10 deg x 30 deg patch of the sky overlapping with the WiggleZ 11hr field. The reconstructed maps have a good level of consistency between per-dish maps and external datasets, with the estimated thermal noise limited to 1.4 x the theoretical noise level (~ 2 mK). The residual maps have rms amplitudes below 0.1 K, corresponding to <1% of the model temperature. The reconstructed Galactic HI intensity map shows excellent agreement with the Effelsberg-Bonn HI Survey, and the flux of the radio galaxy 4C+03.18 is recovered to within 3.6%, which demonstrates that the autocorrelation can be successfully calibrated to give the zero-spacing flux and potentially help in the imaging of MeerKAT interferometric data. Our results provide a positive indication towards the feasibility of using MeerKAT and the future SKA to measure the HI intensity mapping signal and probe cosmology on degree scales and above.

description: The study uses empirical measures of market concentration to examine buyer competition in wool between 1974 and 1992. Three measures of concentration are examined, concentration ratios, Herfindahl indices and Lorenz curves. Data from the Australian Council of Wool Exporters are used to obtain estimates of these measures over the sample period. The results indicate that the buying sector in the Australian wool market is relatively concentrated and calculation of Spearman correlation coefficients indicate that rankings have not altered significantly in recent years.

description: To design for the purpose of planning was not new when regional design emerged as a distinguished discipline in the 1980s in the Netherlands. On the contrary, to imagine solutions for particular areas and to discuss these for the purpose of planning has been a long-standing tradition that can be traced back to the emergence of urban planning in the early 20th century. However, when spatial planning emerged as a new, more collaborative and anticipatory planning approach in the last decades, expectations concerning performances of design in planning decision-making increased. Design came to be seen as a practice that not only improves the spatial and technical quality of plans, but also enhances planning innovation, clarifies political agendas, forges societal alliances and raises the efficiency of planning through timely consideration of conflicts that planning may cause in societal and political domains. Since the 1990s, regional design underwent a process of institutionalisation in Dutch national planning. The practice became repetitively used and was formally embedded in planning procedures.


Despite more varied expectations and institutionalisation, interrelations between regional design and spatial planning are not well understood. As a result, the performances of regional design are difficult to predict and consequently, often disappointing. Therefore, this research has sought to conceptualize interrelations between regional design and spatial planning. It aimed at an enhanced explanation and prediction of performances. The main research question was: how do the interrelations between regional design and spatial planning influence the performances of regional design? Answers to this question were sought through case-study research. During two consecutive rounds of exploration, two perspectives were taken. During a first in-depth case-study, key performances of regional design were analysed. During a second multiple case-studies analysis, the contextual determinants of these performances were investigated.


Detailed results of this dissertation are embodied in Chapter 3 to 7 of this publication. Below, these outcomes are summarised in order to form one coherent line of argument. Theoretical notions, which were considered during the research but were not mentioned in earlier publications of the chapters in the form of journal articles and book chapters, are added. The chapter also contains a critical reflection on the research approaches that were used. A dedicated section summarises the implications of findings for future research.

description: Stanley introduced expressions for the normalized characters of the symmetric group and stated some positivity conjectures for these expressions. Here, we give an affirmative partial answer to Stanley's positivity conjectures about the expressions using results on Kerov polynomials. In particular, we use new positivity results by Goulden and the present author. We shall see that the generating series $C(t)$ introduced by them is critical to our discussion.

Longitudinal modes in diffusion and localization of light

description: In this work we include the elastic scattering of longitudinal electromagnetic waves in transport theory using a medium filled with point-like, electric dipoles. The interference between longitudinal and transverse waves creates two new channels among which one allows energy transport. This picture is worked out by extending the independent scattering framework of radiative transfer to include binary dipole-dipole interactions. We calculate the diffusion constant of light in the new transport channel and investigate the role of longitudinal waves in other aspects of light diffusion by considering the density of states, equipartition, and Lorentz local field. In the strongly scattering regime, the different transport mechanisms couple and impose a minimum conductivity of electromagnetic waves, thereby preventing Anderson localization of light in the medium. We extend the self-consistent theory of localization and compare the predictions to extensive numerical simulations.

description: Japanese food processors have been faced with internal and external squeezes in recent years. Internally, the industry is faced with an overall demand ceiling due to Engel's law and a rapidly changing demand structure due to the "westernisation" of the Japanese consumers' taste. Externally, the industry is faced with increased import competition as a result of the liberalisation of the Japanese import market for agricultural and processed food products. Under these pressures, performance of the Japanese food processors in terms of productivity and profitability, is found to be below average, compared with Japanese manufacturing as a whole. Associated with the deteriorating productivity and profitability performance, Japanese food processors have stepped up their foreign direct investment (FDI) activities in the Asia-Pacific region. This development provides both challenge and opportunities for Australian producers and food processors. As most of the Japanese FDIs are either domestic market or export oriented, they are likely to pose serious competition for Australian firms. At the same time, through joint ventures with Japanese firms, the Australian food processors may acquire the inside knowledge of the Asian market which would enable them to capitalise on the enormous opportunities in the Asian food market.
