The Export share and Australia's real exchange rate : a dependent economy contribution
Creators: name: Wadsley, AGW
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The thesis explores the role of the terms of trade and the export share in determining the Australian real exchange rate. The research is also motivated by Rogoff's (1996) purchasing power parity (PPP) puzzle; that is, a combination of high short-term volatility in the real exchange rate with a relatively slow rate ofreversion back to PPP. The thesis develops a neo-classical dependent economy model of the real exchange rate with two types of capital, namely, structures and equipment, and specific identification of the terms of trade and the export share. The real exchange rate is identified as the relative price of non-traded goods. The dependent economy model has a long history of application to Australia starting with the work of Salter (1959) and Swan (1960). The model developed in this thesis extends the neoclassical dependent economy model proposed by Bruno (1976) and solved by Brock and Tumovsky (1994). It also develops a log-linear framework to explore the relationship between the export share and the real exchange rate. The solution to the model developed in the thesis integrates long-term equilibrium with short-term disequilibria engendered by surprises to the terms of trade and the export share. By identifying an 'underlying' real exchange rate based on perfect forecasts in the long run, an adjustment path back to the steady state can be determined for the medium term. Perfect forecasts enable capital allocation to cancel demand-side impacts in the medium and long run. The introduction of a variable based on surprises to the export share as a determinant of the real exchange rate is novel. This variable represents a generalisation of demand-side influences as a single measurable factor, but closely aligns with the allocation of labour in the firm's problem. In this way the theorised model provides an explanation for elements of Rogoffs puzzle. The model is tested empirically on Australian data with positive results. The 'underlying' real exchange rate can be conceptualised as a cointegrating vector linking the real exchange rate, terms of trade and real interest rate, with a second vector identified as the steady state export share. Empirical evaluation is extended to Canadian, New Zealand, South African, Chilean, Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish time-series with mixed results. The fundamental predictions of the model are supported for several of the countries considered, such as Chile and South Africa, however the analysis also suggests some countries, such as Canada, should no longer be considered 'dependent economies'. Analysis of- the results indicates that sovereign wealth funds may have a role linking the export share with the terms of trade. This leads to a policy suggestion for Australia to establish a sovereign wealth fund. Overall, the theorised model appears to work well for Australia and less well for other countries, leading to a call for more research to determine whether Australia is unique in this regard.

description: The instability, so-called the quantum-phase-like transition, in the Dicke model with a rotating-wave approximation for finite $N$ atoms is investigated in terms of the Berry phase and the fidelity. It can be marked by the discontinuous behavior of these quantities as a function of the atom-field coupling parameter. Involving an additional field $A^{2}$ term, it is observed that the instability is not eliminated beyond the characteristic atom-field coupling parameter even for strong interaction of the bosonic fields, contrarily to the previous studies.

Relative Entropy of Entanglement and Restricted Measurements

description: We introduce variants of relative entropy of entanglement based on the optimal distinguishability from unentangled states by means of restricted measurements. In this way, we are able to prove that the standard regularized entropy of entanglement is strictly positive for all multipartite entangled states. In particular, this implies that the asymptotic creation of a multipartite entangled state by means of local operations and classical communication always requires the consumption of a non-local resource at a strictly positive rate.

description: Deep learning (DL) has shown great potential in revolutionizing the traditional communications system. Many applications in communications have adopted DL techniques due to their powerful representation ability. However, the learning-based methods can be dependent on the training dataset and perform worse on unseen interference due to limited model generalizability and complexity. In this paper, we consider the semantic communication (SemCom) system with multiple users, where there is a limited number of training samples and unexpected interference. To improve the model generalization ability and reduce the model size, we propose a knowledge distillation (KD) based system where Transformer based encoder-decoder is implemented as the semantic encoder-decoder and fully connected neural networks are implemented as the channel encoder-decoder. Specifically, four types of knowledge transfer and model compression are analyzed. Important system and model parameters are considered, including the level of noise and interference, the number of interfering users and the size of the encoder and decoder. Numerical results demonstrate that KD significantly improves the robustness and the generalization ability when applied to unexpected interference, and it reduces the performance loss when compressing the model size.

description: We present a physically inspired generalization of equilibrium response formulae, the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, to Markov jump processes possibly describing interacting particle systems out-of-equilibrium. Here, the time-dependent perturbation adding a potential V with small amplitude h(t) changes the rates W(x,y) for the transition x --> y into W_t(x,y) = W(x,y) exp {h(t)[bV(y)-aV(x)]} as first considered by Diezemann; a,b are constants. We observe that the linear response relation shows a reciprocity symmetry in the nonequilibrium stationary regime and we interpret the connection with dynamical fluctuation theory.
Large in-plane negative piezoelectricity and giant nonlinear optical susceptibility in elementary ferroelectric monolayers

description: Negative piezoelectrics contract in the direction of applied electric field, which are opposite to normal piezoelectrics and rare in dielectric materials. The raising of low dimensional ferroelectrics, with unconventional mechanisms of polarity, opens a fertile branch for candidates with prominent negative piezoelectricity. Here, the distorted $α$-Bi monolayer, a newly-identified elementary ferroelectric with puckered black phosphorous-like structure [J. Guo, {\it et al}. Nature \textbf{617}, 67 (2023)], is computationally studied, which manifests a large negative in-plane piezoelectricity (with $d_{33}\sim-26$ pC/N). Its negative piezoelectricity originates from its unique buckling ferroelectric mechanism, namely the inter-column sliding. Consequently, a moderate tensile strain can significantly reduce its ferroelectric switching energy barrier, while the compressive strain can significantly enhance its prominent nonlinear optical response. The physical mechanism of in-plane negative piezoelectricity also applies to other elementary ferroeletric monolayers.

We offer an extension of the results in this direction to certain stationary dispersive media. In particular, we use the WKB approximation to derive an explicit expression for the planar time-harmonic solutions of Maxwell's equations in an inhomogeneous dispersive medium and study the combined affect of inhomogeneity and dispersion.

Poetry and philosophical ascesis : Schlegel, Novalis, Holderlin
Creators: name: van Riet, A
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis argues that the tum to poetry undertaken by Schlegel, Novalis and HOlderlin during the period of early German Romanticism is largely a tum that seeks to culminate in a particular and comprehensive philosophical ascesis. While contemporary discourse (Frank, Beiser, Henrich, Bowie, Millan-Zaibert et al) has done much to uncover the philosophical underpinnings of early German Romanticism, and has secured the place of thinkers such as Holderlin within the history of German philosophy, the theme of poetry and philosophical ascesis has not been sufficiently explored. This thesis focuses on the determination with which Schlegel, Novalis and Holderlin seek to expand philosophical understanding by integrating traditional philosophical reasoning with comprehensive poetic processes. This thesis argues that this integration exploits a symbiotic relationship between poetry and philosophy that enables a refined response to philosophical issues such as Fichte's theory of subjectivity, the discrepancy and reconciliation between idealism and realism, and the moral education of humankind. The strategy of this thesis is first to elicit the technicalities of the symbiotic relationship between poetry and philosophy, followed by an exploration of Holderlin's calculative approach to Fichte's theory of subjectivity that seeks also to achieve a metaphorical representation of an 'intellectual intuition.' In conjunction, Holderlin's theory of tones, plus the preparation and function of the poet, are explored. The thesis then turns to Schlegel's 'formula' that seeks to articulate the nature of God in relation to the poetic ideal. This is followed by an investigation into the moral education of humankind and finally an in investigation into Novalis' Magical Idealism. This thesis concludes that although there are differences between the kinds of methods and responses on which each thinker draws, all share a preoccupation with the unity of subject and object, and its role as an analogue for the unity that underpins all binary oppositions. The identification of the tum to poetry undertaken by Schlegel, Novalis and Holderlin is seen to be based in an assertion of a symbiotic relationship between poetry and philosophy that itself constitutes an ascesis in which the subjective self integrates with the determination of the very 'thing' that it contemplates. There are two qualifications that apply to the research undertaken here. First, the focus is philosophical rather than poetic in that the concern is with philosophical theory rather than poetic success. Second, while the aim of the thesis is to identify a level of philosophical asceticism at work in the thinking of Schlegel, Novalis and Holderlin, the full elaboration of such asceticism and its implications is not attempted.

description: Electron quasiparticles are progressively weakened by correlations upon approaching a continuos Mott metal insulator transition in a bulk solid. We show that corresponding to the bulk weakening, a dead layer forms below the surface of the solid, where quasiparticles are exponentially suppressed. The surface dead layer depth is a bulk property, and diverges when the Mott transition is approached. We describe this phenomenon in a Hubbard model within a self-consistent Gutzwiller approximation. Photoemission data of Rodolakis et al. in V2O3 appear to be in accord with this physical picture.

The effect of mindfulness-integrated cognitive behaviour therapy (MiCBT) on the experience of addiction
Creators: name: Wickham, KT
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The excessive use of alcohol and other drugs (AOD) is a significant public health problem in Australia at the current time, and the development and evaluation of effective AOD treatments is currently highly relevant. Though research investigating the implementation of mindfulness training as a treatment for AOD addiction has been scarce, results to date have supported the use of mindfulness-based interventions as a treatment for AOD addiction and have recommended that further research be conducted in this area. The current study examined the efficacy of Mindfulness-integrated Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (MiCBT), compared to Treatment as Usual (TAU), in reducing the distress and impairment associated with AOD addiction, and in increasing levels of well-being among a sample of AOD treatment-users. Thirty-four participants completed the eight-week treatment period; and completed dependent measures at baseline, post-treatment, and six-month follow-up. Participants who received MiCBT exhibited greater improvement over time, in terms of decreases in scores on the Depression scale of the DASS-21, than participants who did not receive MiCBT. Participants who received MiCBT also displayed lower levels of severity of dependence than those who did not receive MiCBT, across all time points. Differences between groups on other measures failed to reach statistical significance, however an exploration of differences between groups in effect sizes for change over time revealed that MiCBT has an additional effect over and above the treatment effect achieved by TAU. It was concluded that MiCBT is a viable option for inclusion in AOD treatment programs.
Hyperpolyglot LLMs: Cross-Lingual Interpretability in Token Embeddings

description: Cross-lingual transfer learning is an important property of multilingual large language models (LLMs). But how do LLMs represent relationships between languages? Every language model has an input layer that maps tokens to vectors. This ubiquitous layer of language models is often overlooked. We find that similarities between these input embeddings are highly interpretable and that the geometry of these embeddings differs between model families. In one case (XLM-RoBERTa), embeddings encode language: tokens in different writing systems can be linearly separated with an average of 99.2% accuracy. Another family (mT5) represents cross-lingual semantic similarity: the 50 nearest neighbors for any token represent an average of 7.61 writing systems, and are frequently translations. This result is surprising given that there is no explicit parallel cross-lingual training corpora and no explicit incentive for translations in pre-training objectives. Our research opens the door for investigations in 1) The effect of pre-training and model architectures on representations of languages and 2) The applications of cross-lingual representations embedded in language models.

For this to occur the tonoplast must transmit hydrodynamic shear efficiently. Here, using magnetic resonance velocimetry, we present the first whole-cell measurements of the cross-sectional longitudinal velocity field in Chara corallina and show that it is in quantitative agreement with a recent theoretical analysis of rotational cytoplasmic streaming driven by bidirectional helical forcing in the cytoplasm, with direct shear transmission by the tonoplast.

description: Recent advancements in video-language understanding have been established on the foundation of image-text models, resulting in promising outcomes due to the shared knowledge between images and videos. However, video-language understanding presents unique challenges due to the inclusion of highly complex semantic details, which result in information redundancy, temporal dependency, and scene complexity. Current techniques have only partially tackled these issues, and our quantitative analysis indicates that some of these methods are complementary. In light of this, we propose a novel framework called RTQ (Refine, Temporal model, and Query), which addresses these challenges simultaneously. The approach involves refining redundant information within frames, modeling temporal relations among frames, and querying task-specific information from the videos. Remarkably, our model demonstrates outstanding performance even in the absence of video-language pre-training, and the results are comparable with or superior to those achieved by state-of-the-art pre-training methods.

description: We consider the vortex equations for a U(n) gauge field coupled to a Higgs field with values on the n times n square matrices. It is known that when these equations are defined on a compact Riemann surface, their moduli space of solutions is closely related to a moduli space of tau-stable holomorphic n-pairs on that surface. Using this fact and a local factorization result for the Higgs matrix, we show that the vortex solutions are entirely characterized by (1) the location in the surface of the zeros of the determinant of the Higgs matrix and (2) by the choice of a vortex internal structure at each of these zeros. We describe explicitly the vortex internal spaces and show that they are compact and connected spaces.

description: Re-localizing a camera from a single image in a previously mapped area is vital for many computer vision applications in robotics and augmented/virtual reality. In this work, we address the problem of estimating the 6 DoF camera pose relative to a global frame from a single image. We propose to leverage a novel network of relative spatial and temporal geometric constraints to guide the training of a Deep Network for localization. We employ simultaneously spatial and temporal relative pose constraints that are obtained not only from adjacent camera frames but also from camera frames that are distant in the spatio-temporal space of the scene. We show that our method, through these constraints, is capable of learning to localize when little or very sparse ground-truth 3D coordinates are available. In our experiments, this is less than 1% of available ground-truth data. We evaluate our method on 3 common visual localization datasets and show that it outperforms other direct pose estimation methods.

description: We propose a non-perturbative and gauge invariant derivation of the static potential between a heavy-quark ($Q$) and an anti-quark ($\bar{Q}$) at finite temperature. This proper potential is defined through the spectral function (SPF) of the thermal Wilson loop and can be shown to satisfy the Schrödinger equation for the heavy $Q\bar{Q}$ pair in the thermal medium. In general, the proper potential has a real and an imaginary part,corresponding to the peak position and width of the SPF. The validity of using a Schrödinger equation for heavy $Q\bar{Q}$ can also be checked from the structure of the SPF. To test this idea, quenched QCD simulations on anisotropic lattices ($a_σ=4a_τ=0.039\rm fm$, $N^3_σ\times N_τ =20^2 \times (96-32)$) are performed. The real part of the proper potential below the deconfinement temperature ($T=0.78T_c$) exhibits the well known Coulombic and confining behavior. At ($T=2.33T_c$) we find that it coincides with the Debye screened potential obtained from Polyakov-line correlations in the color-singlet channel under Coulomb gauge fixing. The physical meaning of the spectral structure of the thermal Wilson loop and the use of the maximum entropy method (MEM) to extract the real and imaginary part of the proper potential are also discussed.

description: We show that stable localized topological soliton textures (skyrmions) with $π_2$ topological charge $ν\geq 1$ exist in a classical 2D Heisenberg model of a ferromagnet with uniaxial anisotropy. For this model the soliton exist only if the number of bound magnons exceeds some threshold value $N_{\rm cr}$ depending on $ν$ and the effective anisotropy constant $K_{\rm eff}$. We define soliton phase diagram as the dependence of threshold energies and bound magnons number on anisotropy constant. The phase boundary lines are monotonous for both $ν=1$ and $ν>2$, while the solitons with $ν=2$ reveal peculiar nonmonotonous behavior, determining the transition regime from low to high topological charges. In particular, the soliton energy per topological charge (topological energy density) achieves a minimum neither for $ν=1$ nor high charges, but rather for intermediate values $ν=2$ or $ν=3$.

On the Chromaticity of the (NEO)WISE Astrometry

description: The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE, Wright et al. 2010) and its follow-up Near-Earth Object (NEO) mission (NEOWISE, Mainzer et al. 2011) scan the mid-infrared sky twice a year. The spatial and temporal coverage of the resulting database is of utmost importance for variability studies, in particular of young stellar objects (YSOs) which have red $W1{-}W2$ colors. During such an effort, I noticed subarcsecond position offsets between subsequent visits. The offsets do not appear for targets with small $W1{-}W2$ colors, which points to a chromatic origin in the optics, caused by the spacecraft pointing alternating ``forward'' and ``backward'' from one visit to another. It amounts to 0\farcs1 for targets with $W1{-}W2\approx2$. Consideration of this chromatic offset will improve astrometry. This is of particular importance for NEOs that are generally red.

description: This resource is a single blog post created as part of the Day of Archaeology initiative. The Day of Archaeology project aimed to provide a window into the daily lives of archaeologists from all over the world. The project asked people working, studying or volunteering in the archaeological world to participate in a 'Day of Archaeology' each year by recording their day and sharing it through text, images or video on the Day of Archaeology blog.
The project asked anyone with a personal, professional or voluntary interest in archaeology to get involved, and help highlight the reasons why archaeology is vital to protect the past and inform our futures. The resulting Day of Archaeology project archive demonstrates the wide variety of work the archaeological profession undertakes day-to-day across the globe, and helps to raise public awareness of the relevance and importance of archaeology to the modern world.
The first ever Day of Archaeology was held in 2011 and, since then, the project had thousands of archaeologists take part in the event, from those working in the field through to specialists working in laboratories and behind computers. The last Day of Archaeology was on Friday 28th July 2017.

Data management

description: During the SEADDA COST action, it was identified that many countries lack the capacity and expertise to create, manage, and share data according to the FAIR principles. SND (https://snd.gu.se/en), member of that action, had the same experience when looking at the Swedish universities. In 2018, SND’s mission was broadened to be a national research infrastructure for all research areas, resulting in the initiation of the SND network (https://snd.gu.se/en/ about-us/snd-network). This happened due to the realization that without a massive increase of SND staff, the universities would have to do most of the data management/curation themselves, so research data could be shared in accordance with the FAIR principles (e.g., via SND’s research data catalogue: https://snd.gu.se/en/catalogue/search), but also to make sure that each university had the capacity to archive and manage the data. As a result, and initiated by SND, each university started a Data Access Unit (DAU), often consisting of librarians, archivists, legal advisors, and IT staff. The DAU was offered training by SND and gained access to SND’s network, where exchange of knowledge, policies, guides on good practice, workflows etc. was done. Interest groups were started, seminars, workshops and thematic network meetings were planned and offered. A few years on, the activity in the network is steadily increasing, as is the number of published research (meta)data. This presentation will demonstrate and highlight one possible way of building capacity for FAIR data sharing and reuse.

description: Global visual localization estimates the absolute pose of a camera using a single image, in a previously mapped area. Obtaining the pose from a single image enables many robotics and augmented/virtual reality applications. Inspired by latest advances in deep learning, many existing approaches directly learn and regress 6 DoF pose from an input image. However, these methods do not fully utilize the underlying scene geometry for pose regression. The challenge in monocular relocalization is the minimal availability of supervised training data, which is just the corresponding 6 DoF poses of the images. In this paper, we propose to utilize these minimal available labels (.i.e, poses) to learn the underlying 3D geometry of the scene and use the geometry to estimate the 6 DoF camera pose. We present a learning method that uses these pose labels and rigid alignment to learn two 3D geometric representations (\textit{X, Y, Z coordinates}) of the scene, one in camera coordinate frame and the other in global coordinate frame. Given a single image, it estimates these two 3D scene representations, which are then aligned to estimate a pose that matches the pose label. This formulation allows for the active inclusion of additional learning constraints to minimize 3D alignment errors between the two 3D scene representations, and 2D re-projection errors between the 3D global scene representation and 2D image pixels, resulting in improved localization accuracy. During inference, our model estimates the 3D scene geometry in camera and global frames and aligns them rigidly to obtain pose in real-time. We evaluate our work on three common visual localization datasets, conduct ablation studies, and show that our method exceeds state-of-the-art regression methods' pose accuracy on all datasets.
