Some theoretical aspects of econometric inference with heteroskedastic models
Creators: name: Sabau, Hern
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1988
Subjects: subject: Econometrics Mathematical models

description: This Thesis is concerned with econometric inference in parametric heteroskedastic models. Each moment of the conditional distribution can be seen as a source of information which provides an estimating equation for the parameter vector. Different issues arise in the different moments concerning the identifiability of parameters, the observability of the dependent variable of the estimating equation, and the positivity restrictions implicit in even order moments. Estimators of the identifiable functions of the parameter vector are obtained from orthogonality conditions in each moment. Under symmetry of the distribution, the sources of information corresponding to the first two conditional moments are independent, at least asymptotically, and the information about common parameters is combined in estimation by constructing a matrix weighted average. Estimation procedures under normality are viewed in a maximum likelihood framework, and generalized method of moments estimation provides the setup for the analysis of more general distributions. The separation of the information into its moment source constitutes a basic element for diagnostic testing of the model. The implications of different forms of misspecification are analyzed and robustness properties are established for some leading cases, especially the ARCH class of models. A general framework is presented for diagnostic testing of heteroskedastic models, which includes tests of the coherency of the information contributed by the two moments, a family of 'consistency tests' which concentrates on the assessment of the first two moments, and a family of 'efficiency tests' which concentrates on checking the specification of moments of order three and higher. The consistency and efficiency tests may be constructed without using information external to the model and thus may be reported with standard computer output, but these families also include many LM tests against specific departures by suitable choice of the test parameters. Tests for autocorrelation, dynamics, parameter stability, different types of exogeneity, and normality, are analyzed in particular. The estimation and diagnostic testing framework is extended to the inclusion of la ten t variables in the conditional mean, such as parametric risk measures and varying coefficients, and also to a multivariate setting. Finally, the problem of extracting information from higher order moments is considered by looking a t the information th a t each moment contributes in addition to what has already been contributed by the lower order moments. Information is extracted from orthogonality conditions and a sequential strategy proposed which analyzes the efficiency gains and the coherency of the available information with the new information obtained from incorporating an additional moment into the model.

An investigation of a problem solving situation as a paradigm of the double bind
Creators: name: Hamilton, Adele Frances
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1969

description: The present thesis reports on the results of an experiment designed to measure certain aspects of the double bind hypothesis, which was developed by the Bateson group in 1956 to account for the aetiology of schizophrenia. Two ingredients of the total double bind situation were studied, firstly, conflict between levels of communication and the importance of a command keeping the victim of the double bind in the field. These two conditions were seen as important distinguishing points between double bind frustration and the ordinary type of frustration. The experimenter tested 80 normal subjects in a problem solving situation similar to one used by Maier (1949) in his experiments with rats. In the experiment, subjects were given a number of problems to solve and some were frustrated in the middle of the experiment. The general hypothesis was that double bind subjects would show greater performance deterioration after frustration than subjects who experienced the ordinary frustration situation (i.e. contradiction subjects). Performance deterioration was measured in terms of response latencies, number of correct answer, and the number of “fixated”- responses. The result offered limited support for the hypothesis. In general, double bind subjects and contradiction subjects performed equally badly on the problem, but both did worse than the continually rewarded control group. Only in two measures did the double bind subjects differ significantly from the frustrated subjects. These differences were that the former made more “fixated” responses than contradiction subjects (fixations were used as a measure of the abnormality of a subject’s response.) and also they pressed an escape button more often than frustrated subjects. Data obtained from questionnaires indicated that double bind subjects became more puzzled and angry during the experiment than frustrated subjects, but these results were of a qualitative nature and no statistical analysis was carried out. An unexpected significant result demonstrated the importance of the feedback of information in the problem solving situation, suggesting some modification to the present experiment. As most of the results were insignificant, the experimenter rejected the hypotheses concerning differences between double bind and frustration subjects in the efficiency of problem solving. Results did indicate a trend in predicted direction and the experimenter concluded that with some refinements to the present experiment, important differences between double bind and frustration subjects could exist, thus disagreeing with an earlier conclusion reached by Ringuette and Kennedy (1966) about the testability of the double bind hypothesis.

description: We advance a statistical theory of extreme event emergence in random nonlinear wave systems with self-similar intermediate asymptotics. We show, within the framework of a generic (1 + 1)D nonlinear Schrodinger equation with linear gain, that extreme events and even rogue waves in weakly nonlinear, statistical open systems emerge as parabolic-shape giant fluctuations in the self-similar asymptotic propagation regime. We analytically demonstrate the self-similar structure of the non-Gaussian statistics of emergent rogue waves and validate our results with numerical simulations. Our results shed new light on generic statistical features of extreme events in nonlinear open systems with self-similar intermediate asymptotics.

description: For the two-mode exciton system formed by the quasi-spin wave collective excitation of many $Λ$ atoms fixed at the lattice sites of a crystal, we discover a dynamic symmetry depicted by the semi-direct product algebra $SU(2)\bar{\otimes} h_2 $ in the large $N$ limit with low excitations. With the help of the spectral generating algebra method, we obtain a larger class of exact zero-eigenvalue states adiabatically interpolating between the initial state of photon-type and the final state of quasi-spin wave exciton-type. The conditions for the adiabatic passage of dark states are shown to be valid, even with the presence of the level degeneracy. These theoretical results can lead to propose new protocol of implementing quantum memory robust against quantum decoherence.

Catholic missions in the Solomon Islands, 1845-1966
Creators: name: Laracy, Hugh Michael
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1969

description: This study seeks to trace, account for and evaluate the development of Catholic (in the sense of Roman Catholic) missionary activity in the Solomon Islands. In more general terms, it attempts to examine the efforts made to establish a European institution in a changing but resilient Melanesian cultural environment. The subject is, therefore, considered in the broad context of culture contact, for Catholicism was not planted in the Solomon Islands as an isolated or merely religious phenomenon. It came as part of a broad range of European influences which, by the end of the nineteenth century, had begun to make a significant impact on the lives of the islanders. Moreover, although the missionaries' efforts necessarily reflect their own assumptions regarding their task, these were also shaped, and their effectiveness largely determined, by the environment in which they occurred. Focussing on the interaction of forces of indigenous and of exotic origin, the study readily falls into three parts, which correspond to three phases in the recent development of the Solomon Islands - early contact, colonial, and post-colonia1. In the first period, 1845-55» the missionaries were confronted with a society in which traditional values and procedures were still virtually intact and in which Christianity was unable to gain a foothold. In the second period, 1898-1942, on the contrary, as a result of increased contact, the situation had changed markedly, and the missionaries succeeded in winning a large following in nearly every part of the group. Even so, their work was far from complete. In the third period, 1946-66, the years since the Second World War, with the future of European domination becoming less secure they have been forced to pursue new goals - to offer more advanced social services than in the past and to make serious efforts to ensure the vital coincidence of self-rule in Church and State.
Sitting in canoes : knowing places and imagining spaces among the Gogodala of Papua New Guinea
Creators: name: Dundon, Alison
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1998

description: This thesis contributes to a growing literature on nation-making in Melanesia through an analysis of Gogodala experiences and perceptions of the landscape. It explores Gogodala connections to the environment through the process of 'sitting in canoes', a local idiom which emphasises embodied links between people and places. In the swampy lowlands of Western Province, Papua New Guinea, canoes are essential everyday vehicles; for the Gogodala, canoes link each person with a clan allocating them land, sago and names. Ancestral stories explain how the first ancestors, who travelled to the area in canoes, created and named the landscape. I focus on the ways in which local understandings of food, bodies, clan designs, development and Christianity are constituted through canoes. By sitting in canoes, Gogodala people engage diverse aspects of their 'way oflife'. It is through these canoes that Gogodala imagine the nation, albeit in fragmentary comments or partial stories intertwined with local interests and concerns. Village people in this area of Papua New Guinea experience the nation-state primarily through state institutions like community schools, radio, newspapers, and Christian organisations and activities. The nation, however, features in narratives and images which emphasise bodies, places, lifestyle, Christianity and food. To encompass some of the ways in which communities in Papua New Guinea imagine and create their nation, then, we must look at local accounts of lifestyles, bodies and places. This thesis argues that Gogodala imaginings of the nation are based on perceptions of their landscape and their relations with it.

description: Generation of wake fields by a short electromagnetic pulse in a plasma with an inhomogeneous background magnetic field and density profile is considered, and a wave equation is derived. Transmission and reflection coefficients are calculated in a medium with sharp discontinuities. Particular attention is focused on examples where the longitudinal part of the electromagnetic field is amplified for the transmitted wave. Furthermore, it is noted that the wake field can propagate out of the plasma and thereby provide information about the electron density profile. A method for reconstructing the background density profile from a measured wake field spectrum is proposed and a numerical example is given.

description: This paper considers the design-phase safety analysis of vehicle guidance systems. The proposed approach constructs dynamic fault trees (DFTs) to model a variety of safety concepts and E/E architectures for drive automation. The fault trees can be used to evaluate various quantitative measures by means of model checking. The approach is accompanied by a large-scale evaluation: The resulting DFTs with up to 300 elements constitute larger-than-before DFTs, yet the concepts and architectures can be evaluated in a matter of minutes.

title: Strength and Behaviour of High Strength Concrete Deep Beam with Web Openings

Subjects: subject: Concrete deep beams
subject: High strength concrete deep beams

description: Over the last few decades, concrete deep beam research has attracted attentions of both academics and professionals due to the increasing use of this type of structural members in construction projects. Evaluating the ultimate strength of concrete deep beams has been a great challenge because of the complexity of these structural members. Moreover, using high strength material and having openings in the web increase the difficulties of predicting the ultimate strength. Normally, web openings are introduced to accommodate services such as air-conditioning ducts, cables, and other essential services. However, the existence of web openings causes geometric discontinuity within the beam and non-linear stress distributions over the depth of the beam. Furthermore, present Codes of Practices do not cover the design of deep beams with web openings. The focus of this thesis is to develop a set of simple and reliable design equations for high strength concrete deep beams with web openings. Deep beams without web reinforcement but with web openings are given particular attention in this investigation, which constitutes three major components: experimental, numerical and theoretical studies.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine whether homing occurred in the southern flying squirrel, Glauaomys volans, and if so, the greatest homing distance. Information on the squirrel's ecology, reproductive biology and use of artificial nest boxes was also obtained. The study was conducted from November 1978 through March 1981, using nest boxes placed in a deciduous forest in southeastern Virginia.

For the homing experiments, twenty squirrels were released a total of 29 times along three lines at distances of 250 m to 1.6 km from the homesites. Squirrels were found to home successfully up to 1,000 m.

The boxes were used as primary nests, secondary nests or feeding stations. They were utilized extensively between November and March, with peak aggregation sizes being reached during the coldest months.

Mating began in mid-January, with parturitions in late February and early March. Squirrels left the study area shortly after reaching maturity.
Application of Autoencoder-Assisted Recurrent Neural Networks to Prevent Cases of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome

description: This project develops and trains a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) that monitors sleeping infants from an auxiliary microphone for cases of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), manifested in sudden or gradual respiratory arrest. To minimize invasiveness and maximize economic viability, an electret microphone, and parabolic concentrator, paired with a specially designed and tuned amplifier circuit, was used as a very sensitive audio monitoring device, which fed data to the RNN model. This RNN was trained and operated in the frequency domain, where the respiratory activity is most unique from noise. In both training and operation, a Fourier transform and an autoencoder compression were applied to the raw audio, and this transformed audio data was fed into the model in 1/8 second time steps. In operation, this model flagged each perceived breath, and the time between breaths was analyzed through a statistical T-test for slope, which detected dangerous trends. The entire model achieved 92.5% accuracy on continuous data and had an 11.25-second response rate on data that emulated total respiratory arrest. Because of the compatibility of the trained model with many off-the-shelf devices like Android phones and Raspberry Pi's, free-standing processing hardware deployment is a very feasible future goal.

description: We analyze a mechanism of coupling of high- and low-$K$ bands in terms of a dynamical treatment for nuclear rotations, i.e.,wobbling motion. The wobbling states are produced through the generator coordinate method after angular momentum projection ({\it GCM-after-AMP}), in which the intrinsic states are constructed through fully self-consistent calculations by the 2d-cranked (or tilted-axis-cranked) HFB method . In particular, the phenomena of ``signature inversion'' and ``signature splitting'' in the t-band (tilted rotational band) are explained in terms of the wobbling model. % Our calculations will be compared with new data for in-band E2 transition rates in $^{182}$Os, which may shed light on the mechanism of the anomalous K=25 isomer decay, directly to the yrast band.

description: We employ laser cooling to intensify and cool an atomic beam of metastable Ne(3s) atoms. Using several collimators, a slower and a compressor we achieve a ^{20}Ne^* flux of 6 10^{10} atoms/s in an 0.7 mm diameter beam traveling at 100 m/s, and having longitudinal and transverse temperatures of 25mK and 300microK, respectively. This constitutes the highest flux in a concentrated beam achieved to date with metastable rare gas atoms. We characterize the action of the various cooling stages in terms of their influence on the flux, diameter and divergence of the atomic beam. The brightness and brilliance achieved are 2.1 10^{21} s^{-1} m^{-2} sr^{-1} and 5.0 10^{22} s^{-1} m^{-2} sr^{-1}, respectively, comparable to the highest values reported for alkali-metal beams. Bright beams of the ^{21}Ne and ^{22}Ne isotopes have also been created.

Social and political ideas of early Buddhism
Creators: name: Piyasiri, Kalukottege Kumar
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1977

description: 1.1.1. It has been observed that most social and political ideas properly began with the Greeks, more importantly, from the days of Plato and Aristotle, and that all succeeding social and political thought thought is a footnote and a commentary on Greek But there is also definite and significant thought on social and political ideas in the Indian context2. 1.1.2. The foundation of social and political ideas of the Indian tradition were first laid in the oldest literature of the Vedic period (the Vedic Samhitas and the Brahmanas). These ideas were later developed through varied channels such as the literature of Brahmanical law books (Smrtis), Epics and Puran as, Kautilya's Arthasastra, unorthodox canonical works of the Buddhists and Jainas, the classical Sanskrit and Tamil literature and the literature of historical records of the later periods . 1.1.3. The present work forms a study of the social and political ideas contained in the large body of early Buddhist literature, especially that composed in the Pali language.

description: A bar magnet, attached to an oscillating system, passes through a coil periodically, generating a series of emf pulses. A novel method is described for the quantitative verification of Faraday's law which eliminates all errors associated with angular measurements, thereby revealing delicate features of the underlying mechanics. When electromagnetic damping is activated by short-circuiting the coil, a distinctly linear decay of oscillation amplitude is surprisingly observed. A quantitative analysis reveals an interesting interplay of the electromagnetic and mechanical time scales.

description: We investigate interacting scenarios which belong to a wider class, since they include a dynamical dark energy component whose equation of state follows various one-parameter parametrizations. We confront them with the latest observational data from Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), Joint light-curve (JLA) sample from Supernovae Type Ia, Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO), Hubble parameter measurements from Cosmic Chronometers (CC) and a gaussian prior on the Hubble parameter $H_0$. In all examined scenarios we find a non-zero interaction, nevertheless the non-interacting case is allowed within 2$σ$. Concerning the current value of the dark energy equation of state for all combination of datasets it always lies in the phantom regime at more than two/three standard deviations. Finally, for all interacting models, independently of the combination of datasets considered, the estimated values of the present Hubble parameter $H_0$ are greater compared to the $Λ$CDM-based Planck's estimation and close to the local measurements, thus alleviating the $H_0$ tension.

description: Resource allocation problems are a fundamental domain in which to evaluate the fairness properties of algorithms. The trade-offs between fairness and utilization have a long history in this domain. A recent line of work has considered fairness questions for resource allocation when the demands for the resource are distributed across multiple groups and drawn from probability distributions. In such cases, a natural fairness requirement is that individuals from different groups should have (approximately) equal probabilities of receiving the resource. A largely open question in this area has been to bound the gap between the maximum possible utilization of the resource and the maximum possible utilization subject to this fairness condition. Here, we obtain some of the first provable upper bounds on this gap. We obtain an upper bound for arbitrary distributions, as well as much stronger upper bounds for specific families of distributions that are typically used to model levels of demand. In particular, we find - somewhat surprisingly - that there are natural families of distributions (including Exponential and Weibull) for which the gap is non-existent: it is possible to simultaneously achieve maximum utilization and the given notion of fairness. Finally, we show that for power-law distributions, there is a non-trivial gap between the solutions, but this gap can be bounded by a constant factor independent of the parameters of the distribution.

description: In a two-stage repeated classical game of prisoners' dilemma the knowledge that both players will defect in the second stage makes the players to defect in the first stage as well. We find a quantum version of this repeated game where the players decide to cooperate in the first stage while knowing that both will defect in the second.

Seasonal employment of agricultural workers in West Java and the special region of Yogyakarta : a comparative study
Creators: name: Soehartadji
Publisher: name: Canberra, ACT : The Australian National University
Year: 1978
Subjects: subject: Agricultural laborers Indonesia Java
subject: Seasonal labor Indonesia Java

description: This thesis analyzes the problem of seasonal employment of agricultural workers in two Indonesian provinces, West Java and Yogyakarta. Seasonal employment of agricultural workers is a common problem in countries like Indonesia, which depends upon agriculture. During the slack season there are fewer jobs available in rural areas, and this situation forces many agricultural workers to look for other jobs. In the following discussion the term "seasonal workers" means those persons 10 years of age and over who were working in agriculture in the last season, but who were no longer working in agriculture or who were outside the labour force (including those whose work status was unknown) in the week preceding the enumeration. Thus the term "seasonal workers" here also includes those normally working in other occupations who work in agriculture only during the busy season. In the following discussion, however, the Census subset does not allow the separate analysis of the latter group due to the difficulty of identifying them. This thesis consists of five chapters. The organization of this thesis is as follows: Chapter 1 is concerned with the labour force concept, and with the 1971 Indonesian Census and other data sources. The chapter briefly describes the scope and objectives of the study. Chapter 2 begins by broadly describing seasonal employment in agriculture in Indonesia. The examination of seasonal employment in Java is used to provide a foundation for the further analysis of seasonal employment in both West Java and Yogyakarta. It is important to investigate the characteristics of seasonal workers to determine if similarities with the general population exist, especially concerning sex and age composition, marital status, economic activity, relationship to the head of household, and education. A discussion of this comparison is presented in Chapter 3. One purpose of this study is to investigate the movement of seasonal workers between agriculture and the non-agricultural sector. The distribution of seasonal workers by industry and by occupation in both West Java and Yogyakarta is the main emphasis of the analysis in Chapter 4. A brief discussion concerning the economic and social conditions is also provided in this chapter, because in fact these conditions have influenced the distribution of seasonal workers by industry and by occupation in these two provinces. In order to get a more concrete picture of the variation of this distribution a regency-level discussion is provided in the last section of Chapter 4. Finally, some findings and conclusions of this analysis together with recommendations for further research are presented in Chapter 5.

description: Basic quantum information measures involved in the information analysis of quantum systems are considered. It is shown that the main quantum information measurement methods depend on whether the corresponding quantum events are compatible or incompatible. For purely quantum channels, the coherent and compatible information measures, which are qualitatively different, can be distinguished. A general information scheme is proposed for a quantum-physical experiment. In this scheme, informational optimization of an experimental setup is formulated as a mathematical problem.

description: Philosophy is not a discipline in which practitioners must operate with certain assumptions in order to be doing philosophy at all (unlike many other disciplines where if one turns ones attention to certain basic assumptions one is no longer doing anything within that discipline but rather something else- probably philosophy). In philosophy no alleged truths or principles are exempt from examination or challenge. However, in any discipline it is normal for some investigators to cover various underlying questions about method, or principles of reasoning, while others leave these questions aside and deal with other matters, taking certain answers to such questions for granted. This sort of division of labour is usually desirable even when method or first principles of reasoning are a subject of genuine controversy. To spend ones time on the often difficult disputes about the first principles of a discipline, disputes about the methods or principles of reasoning which should be employed, is to not spend it on other matters...

 A species found abundantly in the Pinar de Chio region of Tenerife in June 1999 was thought to be I. plumbeomicans. However, M. A. Alonso-Zarazaga (in litt.) has pointed out that this identification is unlikely, as that species is monophagous on Lotus creticus. The weevils were shaken from moribund plants of a species of Lotus identified as L. campylocladus, and occurred with smaller numbers of Tychius colonnellii Caldara, 1991 (= T. filirostris Wollaston, 1854) (Curculionidae). W. Suppantschitsch (in litt.) has also taken this species and suggested that, as specimens differ somewhat from typical I. plumbeomicans, it may represent an undescribed species; further study is indicated. The same species also occurred in abundance on Lotus spartioides at Cortijo de la Tirma, Gran Canaria, in January 2004 and less abundantly at on Lotus sp. at Epina, La Gomera, 27–29 April 2008 (current author’s records).

description: Cancer is one of the leading underlying causes of death worldwide. Despite decades of research, cancer is predicted to be the leading cause of death by the year 2020. Anti angiogenic therapies that target the key signalling molecule, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) have shown promise in the treatment of some solid tumours, resulting in increased progression-free survival times in patients. However, there are several significant problems with current anti-angiogenic therapies, such as the phenomenon of resistance. Tumours can be divided into those that are intrinsically nonresponsive to therapy, and those that do respond. However, for those tumours that do respond to therapy, an initial positive response (tumour regression) is followed by tumour re-vascularisation and rapid relapse. Secondly, anti-angiogenic therapies target normal physiological processes, including vascular homeostasis, wound healing and the immune system, leading to a range of potentially negative side effects, including death. Thus unravelling the biology of angiogenesis and developing new drug targets is a priority of current research. The C-C chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) has been the subject of extensive research in the last few years. This is primarily because of its association with the pathology of disease, viral infection, and the immune response. However, while the main ligand for CCR5, C C chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5) is known to be upregulated in malignant breast cancer, little has been done to unravel the CCL5-CCR5 axis in breast cancer and its potential role as a driver of malignancy. Furthermore, while experimental evidence, including data from CCR5 knockout mouse, suggests a role for CCL5-CCR5 in neovascularisation, little has been done to study the potential role of CCL5-CCR5 in tumour angiogenesis, as well as implications CCL5-CCR5 signalling may have on clinical course in breast cancer.

description: A self-consistent model which can unify Starobinsky inflation and the $Λ$CDM model in the framework of Poincaré gauge cosmology (PGC) is studied in this work, without extra inflaton and ``dark energy''. We start from the general nine-parameter PGC Lagrangian and get two Friedmann-like analytical solutions with the certain ghost- and tachyon-free conditions on the Lagrangian parameters. The scalar torsion $h$-determined solution is consistent with Starobinsky cosmology in the early-time and the pseudo-scalar torsion $f$-determined solution contains naturally a constant ``dark energy'' density, $3(α-1)^2/8B_0$, which covers the $Λ$CDM model in the late-time. According to the latest observations, we estimate the magnitudes of parameters: $α-1\simeq 8.07\times10^{-56}$, $B_0\simeq5.76\times10^{-28}GeV^{-2}$ in the natural units.
