The economics of the rice industry in South Vietnam
Creators: name: Hoi, The Thi
Publisher: name: Canberra, ACT : The Australian National University
Year: 1975
Subjects: subject: Rice Vietnam

description: In the rice industry in South Vietnam, the rice produced by the farmer reaches the consumer through the intermediary activities of markets. This study aims at an analysis of the groups of people involved in the three stages of the process, namely, the production, the marketing and the consuming stages. In the production stage (Chapter 3), the supply response model is analysed under two aspects: area response and yield response. This section pays primary attention to the farmer's response to price changes. Besides, it also attempts to study other factors that influence the production level such as technology, weather, fertilisers and degree of security. In the case of consumption (Chapter 4), the factors believed to determine the demand for rice are studied. Besides the population factor, the income of the consumer is an important variable influencing the rice demand. The behaviour of the people toward the price increase or decrease is studied in two regions: a rice surplus region and a rice deficit region. The marketing efficiency is investigated under two criteria: price efficiency and the operation efficiency under the prevailing technology relating to the processing and transportation facility. The seasonal price flucutation is estimated. Upon the criterion of the price difference between the peak season and the off season, the return to the rice holder is calculated in order to evaluate the degree of rice price fluctuations. The price spread between certain market levels is also calculated to gain an insight into the degree of market competitiveness (Chapter 5). The results obtained relating to the behaviour of consumers, producers and merchants are used to assess the government import program in Chapter 6. The last chapter is a summary and suggests some programs and policies to achieve a rice production increase in order to allow South Vietnam to become self-sufficient.

description: We study the evolution of the maximum energy $E_\max(t)$ reached between time $0$ and time $t$ in the dynamics of simple models with glassy energy landscapes, in instant quenches from infinite temperature to a target temperature $T$. Through a detailed description of the activated dynamics, we are able to describe the evolution of $E_\max(t)$ from short times, through the aging regime, until after equilibrium is reached, thus providing a detailed description of the long-time dynamics. Finally, we compare our findings with numerical simulations of the $p$-spin glass and show how the maximum energy record can be used to identify the threshold energy in this model.

description: Previous studies have shown that miR-210-3p is involved in the development and progression of atherosclerosis, but its specific mechanisms are still unclear. This study aims to reveal the mechanism of miR-210-3p and its target genes in macrophage lipid deposition and inflammatory response, and provide new ideas for the treatment of atherosclerosis. We found miR-210-3p increased sharply in the first 12 h induced by higher doses of ox-LDL in THP-1 macrophages and then gradually decreased. MiR-210-3p mimic transfection inhibited lipid uptake and inflammatory cytokine production in ox-LDL-induced macrophages. By inhibiting IGF2/IGF2R, miR-210-3p suppressed the expression of fatty acid transcriptase CD36 and transcription factor NF-κB in ox-LDL-induced macrophages. In conclusion, miR-210-3p inhibits the expression of CD36 and NF-κB by inhibiting IGF2 / IGF2R, thereby reducing lipid accumulation and inflammatory response in ox-LDL-induced macrophages. Enhancing miR-210-3p expression may be a new strategy for the treatment of atherosclerosis. MiR-210-3p attenuates the expression NF-κB and CD36 by binding to 3ʹUTR of human IGF2, and then suppresses lipid
Thailand : Population levels and trends compared with levels and trends in rice production, by regions 1960's-1970's

Subjects: subject: Rice Thailand
subject: Thailand Population

description: The thesis uses time series analysis and cross-section analysis to examine the problems of population growth, rice consumption, and rice production in Thailand. The focus of attention is on the period since 1960, but earlier periods are examined to place the analysis in the firm historical context. Until the 1960’s, government policy had always relied upon increases in area planted to boost rice production, and yield either remained constant or declined. However, from the beginning of the first National Economic Development Plan in 1961, there was a new concentration on increasing yield by the use of inputs such as irrigation and fertilizers. As a result, improvements in yield began to contribute more than expansion of area to the rise in production. However, increase in yield and production were still limited by physical constraints related to the country's climate and geographical characteristics, and by socio-economic factors, such as fluctuation in rice prices, fiscal policy and land tenure system. Despite the problems, rice production met the targets set by the first and second National Economic Development Plans (1961-1966 and 1967- 1971), but by the early 1970's declining rice export prices had increased the relative profitability of competitive crops. As a result, the third National Economic Development Plan (1972-1976) was based on the assumption that rice prices would remain low, and it set as its target an increase in rice production of only 1.6 percent per annum, compared with a population growth rate of approximately 3.1 percent per annum. The plan set very high target growth rate for competitive crops. Since 1972, however, rice prices have risen dramatically and export prospects have improved with the fading of the more excessive hopes for the 'green revolution' in other countries. These changes have restored the relative profitability of rice, and this thesis recommends ways of overcoming the constraints on production and of preserving Thailand's position as a rice exporter. Projections of domestic rice consumption for 1980 have been made and compared with projections of production. The latter are based on the assumption that it will be possible to reach the adjusted regional experimentally determined 'feasible yield' by 1980. If this target is reached, then in 1980 Thailand should have a rice surplus of between 4.9 and 6.5 million metric tonnes for exports and industrial purposes after all the requirements of domestic human consumption have been met.

description: Adaptive networks are a versatile approach to model phenomena such as contagion and spreading dynamics, critical transitions and structure formation that emerge from the dynamic coevolution of complex network structure and node states. Here, we study critical transitions in contagion dynamics on multilayer adaptive networks with dynamic node states and present an application to the governance of sustainable resource use. We focus on a three layer adaptive network model, where a polycentric governance network interacts with a social network of resource users which in turn interacts with an ecological network of renewable resources. We uncover that sustainability is favored for slow interaction timescales, large homophilic network adaptation rate (as long it is below the fragmentation threshold) and high taxation rates. Interestingly, we also observe a trade-off between an eco-dictatorship (reduced model with a single governance actor that always taxes unsustainable resource use) and the polycentric governance network of multiple actors. In the latter setup, sustainability is enhanced for low but hindered for high tax rates compared to the eco-dictatorship case. These results highlight mechanisms generating emergent critical transitions in contagion dynamics on multilayer adaptive network and show how these can be understood and approximated analytically, relevant for understanding complex adaptive systems from various disciplines ranging from physics and epidemiology to sociology and global sustainability science. The paper also provides insights into potential critical intervention points for policy in the form of taxes in the governance of sustainable renewable resource use that can inform more process-detailed social-ecological modeling.
Marketing of the selected upland crops between Chiang Mai and Bangkok markets
Creators: name: Wiboonpongse, Aree
Publisher: name: Canberra, ACT : The Australian National University
Year: 1975
Subjects: subject: Produce trade Thailand
subject: Markets Thailand

description: This study investigates the pricing and operational efficiency of the Chiang Mai central crop market for soybeans, peanuts and garlic. It is based in part on the surveys of the Chiang Mai regional market and the Bangkok central terminal market conducted in 1972 and 1973 to 1974, and in part on price information for Chiang Mai and Bangkok obtained from the Chiang Mai Provincial Economist, and the Ministry of Economic Affairs respectively. It is proposed that pricing efficiency would be improved if competition in the Chiang Mai market could be increased. It is also proposed that operational efficiency could be improved by a movement towards large scale operation if large firms could operate at lower cost structures than small firms. The possibility of conflict between pricing efficiency and operational efficiency in achieving overall marketing efficiency is recognised. The effects of some of the factors influencing price levels in Chiang Mai merchants are determined by regression analysis with autoregressive techniques. The results show that the Bangkok price is the major factor involved. The other important factor is the change in Bangkok price. The dummy variables representing the buying season and the selling season are not important. In most cases, the price in Bangkok positively accounts for more than 50 percent of the level of the price in Chiang Mai. The extent of this influence is shown by the value of the regression coefficient of the Bangkok price, which varies from crop to crop and from year to year. An inverse relationship is obtained between the regression coefficient of the Bangkok price and the absolute (and percentage) margin. The annual average price in Bangkok and the total supply from Chiang Mai are the major factors affecting the relationships between prices in Chiang Mai and Bangkok, though the effect of the former dominates that of the latter. It was not possible to test rigorously the hypothesis that Chiang Mai merchants receive constant levels of profit. An attempt is made to explore the proposition that Chiang Mai firms operate at least cost. Inadequate information enable only the handling cost components to be quantified; administrative costs are not estimated. The cost components are the costs of the commission charged to the Bangkok brokers, transportation, prepacking and grading. They are determined by the competitive input market and are beyond the merchants' control. Lastly, the study highlights the difficulties and discusses the problems of estimating economies of size and, consequently, operational efficiency in the Chiang Mai market. An outline for a more comprehensive study of operational efficiency in the Chiang Mai market is proposed.

description: On the cool, misty slopes of high mountains that rise out of the hot equatorial lowland, there are places that bear surprising resemblances of climate and vegetation to the remote islands of the vast southern ocean. Why such disparate regions should look alike can be found in the three-dimensional (longitudinal, latitudinal and altitudinal) view of climate and vegetation of the earth expressed by Troll (1961). He used ideas of the great 19th century geographer Humboldt as a basis for his exposition. They noted that similar sequences of climate and vegetation are to be found in moving from low altitudes to high altitudes at the same altitude. Tussock grasslands, because of their great extent, are one of the most conspicuous features common to the equatorial high montane and sub-Antarctic regions. It is with these grasslands that this thesis is concerned.

Isospin symmetry is assumed and the symmetry-conserving SU(3) quantization is employed, rotational and strange quark mass corrections being included. For the experiments G0, A4, and HAPPEX-II we predict the quantities $G^{0}_E + βG^{0}_M$ and $G^{\rm s}_E + βG^{\rm s}_M$. The dependence of the results on the parameters of the model and the treatment of the Yukawa asymptotic behavior of the soliton are investigated.

description: Neutrino-neutrino interactions can lead to collective flavor conversion in the dense parts of a core collapse supernova. Growing instabilities that lead to collective conversions have been studied intensely in the limit of two-neutrino species and occur for inverted mass ordering in the case of a perfectly spherical supernova. We examine two simple models of colliding and intersecting neutrino beams and show, that for three neutrino species instabilities exist also for normal mass ordering even in the case of a fully symmetric system. Whereas the instability for inverted mass ordering is associated with $Δm_{31}^2$, the new instability we find for normal mass ordering is associated with $Δm_{21}^2$. As a consequence, the growth rate of these new instabilities for normal ordering is smaller by about an order of magnitude compared to the rates of the well studied case of inverted ordering.

description: In recent years, there has been growing interest in studying evolutionary games with environmental feedback. Previous studies exclusively focus on two-player games. However, extension to multi-player game is needed to study problems such as microbial cooperation and crowdsourcing collaborations. Here, we study coevolutionary public goods games where strategies coevolve with the multiplication factors of group cooperation. Asymmetry can arise in such environmental feedback, where games organized by focal cooperators may have a different efficiency than the ones by defectors. Our analysis shows that co-evolutionary dynamics with asymmetrical environmental feedback can yield oscillatory convergence to persistent cooperation, if the relative changing speed of cooperators' multiplication factor is above a certain threshold. Our work provides useful insights into sustaining group cooperation in a changing world.
A simulation model of rural-urban migration in Kenya
Creators: name: Doran, M. H
Publisher: name: Canberra, ACT : The Australian National University
Year: 1975
Subjects: subject: Rural-urban migration Mathematical models Kenya

description: A major problem currently facing politicians and policymakers in Kenya is a serious growth of urban unemployment. The problem is aggravated by an increasing tendency for persons to migrate from the rural areas to the cities in the hope of obtaining employment at incomes significantly above those obtainable in the rural areas. The purpose of this study, therefore, is to design a simulation model to trace movements in net rural to urban migration in Kenya over time. The model is an adapted version of the Todaro dynamic model (1969) which explains the rate of net migration in terms of rural-urban modern sector employment. The Todaro hypothesis is discussed in detail and migration literature reviewed before development of the model is attempted. A flow chart is presented to demonstrate the variable and parameter interactions which occur and tests are applied to the model to assess its predictive capacity and structural soundness before experimentation is justified. Experimentation with the model focuses on the impact of changes in key variable and parameter values on migration rates, urban employment ratios, workforce growth rates and workforce number in both sectors. The results indicate clearly the potential magnitude of the employment problem in Kenya and highlight the need for immediate implementation of effective policies to curb migration and reduce income differentials. A brief discussion of recommended policies is given with the conclusion being that an integrated overall approach to the problem is required if any impact is to be made in the future.

description: The nitrogen–sulfur co-doped carbon dots (CDs) were synthesized using scallion leaves via an environmentally friendly and facile hydrothermal method, which did not require surface passivating agents. When the hemin concentration was increased from 0.5 to 10.0 μM, the fluorescence emission intensity of the CDs was also linearly quenched. The detection limit was estimated to be 0.1 μM. The fluorescence sensing mechanism was systematically explored by a series of characterization methods. The results revealed that the fluorescence sensing quenching mechanism was ascribed to the inner filter effect and photo-induced electron transfer. The proposed mechanism was further verified by our theoretical calculations. The proposed sensor was successfully applied for the determination of hemin in human serum samples.

description: We compute the couplings $DD^*π$,$D_1D^*π$,$D^*D^*π$, $D_1 D_1π$ using QCD sum rules. These couplings are important inputs in the meson exchange model calculations used to estimate the amount of $J/ψ$ absorption due to pions and rho mesons in heavy ion collisions. Our sum rules are constructed at the first order in the pion momentum $p_μ$, which give the couplings that are not trivially related to the soft-pion theorem. Our calculated couplings, which somewhat depend upon the values of the heavy meson decay constants, are $g_{DD^*π}=8.2 \pm 0.1$, $g_{D_1 D^* π} = 15.8 \pm 2 {\rm GeV}$, $g_{D^* D^* π}= 0.3 \pm 0.03$ and $g_{D_1 D_1 π}= 0.17 \pm 0.04$.

Subjects: subject: Viticulture Philippines Cebu

description: The aims of this study are to make a micro-level analysis of the economics of grape-growing in two areas in the Philippines and to examine the structure of the industry and cultural practices employed. Following an introductory chapter, Chapter 2 describes the survey which was conducted in Cebu and General Santos. The data from this survey is suitable for the estimation of a production function and for making sample inferences about the population. Chapter 3 gives a detailed description of the variables used in the regression analysis, including the probable strength and weaknesses of measurements used and the rationale behind the inclusion of such regressors. In Chapter 4, the effects on yield of various factors were examined. Age, fertilizer and labour show significant relationships with yield, such relationships being linear for age, an increasing marginal product for fertilizer, and a diminishing marginal product for labour. The results show a wide scope for improving profitability through a more efficient allocation of resources. Certain cultural and management practices unique to Philippine growers are examined in Chapter 5, identifying the efficiencies and inefficiencies of these practices. Such practices, although common among local growers are, as yet, unsubstantiated by empirical research. Chapter 6 deals with the economic structure, institutional factors and profitability of grape-growing. Establishment and maintenance costs are estimated, different aspects of the industry are examined, and various problems identified. The profitability calculations made indicate high returns to investment in grape growing although initial investment is large. Since it may be desirable to conduct a similar survey two or three years hence, a proposed sampling design is incorporated in this study and is included as Chapter 7. Using available data, it is possible to design a more sophisticated and efficient sampling plan, i.e., optimum allocation of sample sizes to each strata. The final chapter draws together the important points that emerged from the study. Also, research priorities are listed.

description: We consider quantum field theory near the horizon of an extreme Kerr black hole. In this limit, the dynamics is well approximated by a tower of electrically charged fields propagating in an $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$ invariant AdS$_2$ geometry endowed with a constant, symmetry preserving background electric field. At large charge the fields oscillate near the AdS$_2$ boundary and no longer admit a standard Dirichlet treatment. From the Kerr black hole perspective, this phenomenon is related to the presence of an ergosphere. We discuss a definition for the quantum field theory whereby we 'UV' complete AdS$_2$ by appending an asymptotically two dimensional Minkowski region. This allows the construction of a novel observable for the flux-carrying modes that resembles the standard flat space S-matrix. We relate various features displayed by the highly charged particles to the principal series representations of $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$. These representations are unitary and also appear for massive quantum fields in dS$_2$. Both fermionic and bosonic fields are studied. We find that the free charged massless fermion is exactly solvable for general background, providing an interesting arena for the problem at hand.

description: We study the effect of unitary mixing of scalar and vector fields in general $ξ$ gauge. This effect takes place for non-conserved vector currents and $ξ$ gauge generates some additional problems with unphysical scalar field. We obtained solutions of Dyson-Schwinger equations and perfomed the renormalization of full propagators. The key feature of renormalization is the usage of Ward identity, which relates some different Green functions. We found that using Ward identity leads to disappearing of $ξ$-dependence in renormalized matrix element.

A linear model with stable residuals
Creators: name: Chambers, Raymond
Publisher: name: Canberra, ACT : The Australian National University
Year: 1975
Subjects: subject: Estimation theory
subject: Distribution (Probability theory)

description: This thesis is concerned with an examination of large sample estimation procedures for the parameter β in the linear model Y = βX + ϵ when the disturbance term ϵ follows a symmetric stable law. The main emphasis of our work is directed towards the situation when the independent variable X follows a N(0, σ²) law, although alternative univariate and multivariate representations are also considered.
Analytical Gradient Theory for Strongly Contracted (SC-) and Partially Contracted (PC-) N-Electron Valence State Perturbation Theory (NEVPT2)
Creators: name: Park, Jae Woo

Subjects: subject: Chemical Physics (physics.chem-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: An analytical gradient theory for single-state N-electron valence state perturbation theory (NEVPT2), using both strongly contracted (SC) and partially contracted (PC) internal contraction schemes, is developed. We demonstrate the utility of the developed algorithm in the optimization of the single-state molecular geometry of acrolein, benzyne, benzene, the retinal chromophore PSB3, the GFP chromophore pHBI, and porphine, with the cc-pVTZ basis sets. The SC-NEVPT2 analytical gradients exhibit numerical instability due to the lack of invariance with respect to the rotations among the inactive orbitals. On the other hand, PC-NEVPT2 gives molecular geometries comparable to CASPT2 in any tested cases. We discuss possible future developments that will make the NEVPT2 gradient algorithm a powerful tool for optimizing the molecular geometries and conducting molecular dynamics simulations of correlated systems.

description: A surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor is reported for the determination of dichlorvos, an organophosphate pesticide (OP), in pears. Platinum coated gold nanoparticles (Au@PtNPs) were used as secondary catalysts to provide signal amplification. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) catalyzed the hydrolysis of acetylthiocholine to form thiocholine. Thiocholine causes the accumulation of Au@PtNPs, which changes the particle size and prevents their peroxidase-mimicking activity. Dynamic light scattering was used to characterize the particle size. Following the addition of dichlorvos, the AChE activity was inhibited, the production of thiocholine and aggregation were reduced, and the peroxidase mimicing property was retained. In the presence of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), a blue product was produced that provided strong SERS signals. The SERS method showed a linear relationship for dichlorvos concentrations from 20 to 2000 µg/L. The developed protocol had a limit of detection of 20 µg/L. This SERS sensor assay was successfully applied for the quantification of dichlorvos in pears with satisfactory recoveries from 80.25 to 94.86%.

On the fermion-boson correspondence for correlation functions of disorder operators

description: When a quantum field theory possesses topological excitations in a phase with spontaneously broken symmetry, these are created by operators which are non-local with respect to the order parameter. Due to non-locality, such disorder operators have non-trivial correlation functions even in free massive theories. In two dimensions, these correlators can be expressed exactly in terms of solutions of non-linear differential equations. The correlation functions of the one-parameter family of non-local operators in the free charged bosonic and fermionic models are the inverse of each other. We point out a simple derivation of this correspondence within the form factor approach

The palm oil export industry of Malaysia : a study of performance and prospects
Creators: name: Mohd Fauzy Bin Abdullah
Publisher: name: Canberra, ACT : The Australian National University
Year: 1975
Subjects: subject: Palm oil
subject: Oil industries Malaysia

description: One of the main objectives of this study is to evaluate the performance of the palm oil export industry in Malaysia. However, before delving directly into the aspects of quantitative assessment, it was necessary to trace the development of the oil palm industry and highlight its importance in the Malaysian economic scene. It was found that the industry had achieved remarkable progress as a result of investments from both the private and public sector. Public sector investments took the form of land development schemes administered directly by State Governments or by autonomous organizations such as FELDA (Federal Land Development Authority). The performance of the industry, with specific reference to growth, was analysed using the constant market-share approach. The major conclusion that could be derived from this analysis is that Malaysia had benefitted from a favourable market distribution of her exports. Variability of export earnings of palm oil sales was considerable during the 1954-1972 period. However, there was a significant reduction in this variability over the more recent period from 1963 to 1972. The major source of export earning variability was the variation in export volume. Furthermore, it was found that there was a reinforcing interaction effect resulting from changes in export quantity and price. The implication that could be drawn is that Malaysia had been able to expand her exports of palm oil to meet the existing unsatisfied demand without depressing the price levels. The second objective is to estimate the demand relationships for Malaysian palm oil exports. It was established for certain countries (e.g., UK and USA) that demand was responsive to changes in price and price of substitutes. In others (e.g., Japan and Iraq), price variables did not provide adequate explanation. On the whole, demand for palm oil exports could be said to be responsive to the changes in the levels of income or economic activity. Another important task of this study is to examine the future prospects for palm oil exports. Export supply and demand were projected to 1980. The projection estimates indicate the possibility of supply exceeding demand. A likely consequence of this would be a reduction in price of palm oil. This study, thus, cautions against ambitious expansion of oil palm planting in the future. It is also suggested that there is a need to seek new market outlets to cater for the increasing supply in view of the limited absorption capacity in traditional markets.

description: This note is a critical examination of the argument of Frauchiger and Renner (Nature Communications 9:3711 (2018)), in which they claim to show that three reasonable assumptions about the use of quantum mechanics jointly lead to a contradiction. It is shown that further assumptions are needed to establish the contradiction, and that each of these assumptions is invalid in some version of quantum mechanics.

description: To measure spin-dependent parton distribution functions in the production of W bosons at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, an accurate model for distributions of charged leptons from the W boson decay is needed. We present single-spin lepton-level cross sections of order $α_S$ for this process, as well as resummed cross sections, which include multiple parton radiation effects. We also present a program RhicBos for the numerical analysis of single-spin and double-spin cross sections in the Drell-Yan process, W and Z boson production.
