The development of the Soviet Navy since World War II
Creators: name: Verrall, Derek Oakley
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1977

description: This thesis is a study of the Soviet Navy since World War II. The fact that the Soviet Navy has, in the past thirty years, been transformed from a position of comparative naval insignificance to a naval power second only to that of the United States of America is, clearly, the most important naval development of the post war world and as such deserves description, explanation and evaluation. The account which follows seeks to describe this development. and to show to what extent it has - (a) been brought about by changes in Soviet strategic assessments of the importance of sea power; (b) altered the role of the Navy in Soviet military doctrine as enunciated by Soviet political, military and naval leaders; (c) provided the Soviet Navy with the means to carry out the roles assigned to it at various periods in the post war era. It also indicates the extent to which the geographical position of the Fleet areas and the limitations imposed on any branch of the armed services by the priorities of the political leadership have influenced the Navy's development and its capabilities. Chapters 1 and 2 establish the significance of the geographic handicaps impose0. on the Soviet Navy and provide an appreciation of the role of the navy in Soviet military doctrine prior to and in the immediate post World War II period. This is essential background for what follows. No sensible evaluation of the strength of the Soviet Navy can beattempted without appreciating the fact that its total strength is allocated to four widely dispersed fleet areas each of which has its point of egress to the high seas flanked by foreign powers belonging to adverse alliance systems. Equally no account of the changing roles of the Soviet Navy or explanation of its growth in terms of numbers or types of vessels available is complete without the realisation that, historically,primacy has been afforded the ground forces, with the navy playing the subordinate role of "loyal assistant". The extent to which this perception of the navy, as essentially a subordinate arm of service, has changed, both within the navy, within other branches of the armed services and within the political leadership of the Soviet Union, is a major concern of this thesis.

description: We identified a new class of mid-latitude medium-scale traveling ionospheric disturbances (MS TIDs), viz. traveling wave packets (TWPs) of total electron content (TEC) disturbances. For the first time, the morphology of TWPs is presented for 105 days. Using the technique of GPS interferometry of TIDs we carried out a detailed analysis of the spatial-temporal properties of TWPs by considering an example of the most conspicuous manifestation of TWPs on October 18, 2001 over California, USA. The velocity and direction of TWPs correspond to those of mid-latitude MS TIDs obtained previously from analyzing the phase characteristics of HF radio signals as well as signals from geostationary satellites and discrete cosmic radio sources.

description: We propose a new method to investigate the thermal properties of QCD with a small quark chemical potential $μ$. Derivatives of the phase transition point with respect to $μ$ are computed at $μ=0$ for 2 flavors of p-4 improved staggered fermions with $ma=0.1,0.2$ on a $16^3\times4$ lattice. The resulting Taylor expansion is well behaved for the small values of $μ_{\rm q}/T_c\sim0.1$ relevant for RHIC phenomenology, and predicts a critical curve $T_c(μ)$ in reasonable agreement with estimates obtained using exact reweighting. In addition, we contrast the case of isoscalar and isovector chemical potentials, quantify the effect of $μ\not=0$ on the equation of state, and comment on the complex phase of the fermion determinant in QCD with $μ\not=0$.

description: The study of dynamical properties of Galactic open clusters is a fundamental prerequisite for the comprehension of their dissolution processes. In this work, we characterized 12 open clusters, namely: Collinder 258, NGC 6756, Czernik 37, NGC 5381, Ruprecht 111, Ruprecht 102, NGC 6249, Basel 5, Ruprecht 97, Trumpler 25, ESO 129-SC32 and BH 150, projected against dense stellar fields. In order to do that, we employed Washington $CT_{1}$ photometry and GAIA DR2 astrometry, combined with a decontamination algorithm applied to the three-dimensional astrometric space of proper motions and parallaxes. From the derived membership likelihoods, we built decontaminated colour-magnitude diagrams, while structural parameters were obtained from King profiles fitting. Our analysis revealed that they are relatively young open clusters (log($t$ yr$^{-1}$) $\sim7.3-8.6$), placed along the Sagittarius spiral arm, and at different internal dynamical stages. We found that the half-light radius to Jacobi radius ratio, the concentration parameter and the age to relaxation time ratio describe satisfactorily their different stages of dynamical evolution. Those relative more dynamically evolved open clusters have apparently experienced more important low-mass star loss.

Competition between traditional food traders and supermarkets in Indonesia

Year: 2011
Subjects: Agribusiness

description: In Indonesia’s urban centres, supermarkets have multiplied recently. With cheaper higher-quality commodities and better services, supermarkets have the potential to drive traders in traditional markets out of business. This paper evaluates whether that is happening. It finds that traditional traders experienced declines in their business. However, both qualitative and quantitative findings indicate that the main cause of decline is not supermarkets. Instead, traditional markets are plagued with internal problems and face increasingly bitter competition from street vendors. The paper recommends policy to strengthen traditional traders and tackle the problem of street vendors.
Heidegger: beyond nihilism?
Creators: name: Donaghue, Kieran
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1977

description: we begin with a quotation from Hans Jonas: 1 The disruption between man and total reality is at the bottom of nihilism ... : the stare at isolated self-hood, to which it condemns man, may wish to exchange itself for a monistic naturalism which, along with the rupture, would abolish the idea of man as man. Between that Scylla and her twin Charybdis, the modern mind hovers. Whether a third road is open to it - one by which the dualistic rift can be avoided and yet enough of the dualistic insight saved to uphold the humanity of man - philosophy must find out. The principal task of this thesis will be to investigate whether Heidegger's thought, in either its earlier or its later form, serves to take us along the third road of which Jonas speaks. As the first step of this task, I will look closely at the characterisation of the ground of nihilism which Jonas gives, to see whether it cannot be developed and given more content.

Locational stress on Sydney's metropolitan fringe

Subjects: subject: Cities and towns GrowthAustralia Campelltown (N.S.W.)
subject: Sociology, Urban

description: After describing the spatial pattern of Sydney's metropolitan expansion on the southwestern fringe, the human behavioural and welfare ramifications of this process are considered. The analytical framework is based on the locational stress concept and methodological guidelines are derived from the humanistic perspective. It is argued that a better understanding of the urban population's needs can be achieved by placing more emphasis upon studies which explore activity patterns and satisfaction levels of specific groups at a micro-level. Thus, a case study approach is adopted in which the behavioural and attitudinal responses of forty households are examined. This investigation is facilitated by the development of a game-based technique for mapping household activity systems and identifying the accessibility problems experienced in given residential situations. The analysis reveals that house-bound mothers and their children are particularly disadvantaged by the metropolitan fringe location and attention is, therefore, focussed on the difficulties faced by this group.
Innovative successes through the value chain

Subjects: Agribusiness

description: The global food crisis has focused attention on agriculture and spurred increased investment in the sector. The attention of public policy and research investment has been focused on smallholder farmers’ productivity. However, it is critical to enable opportunities throughout the value chain to improve smallholder farmers’ access to market with the associated income improvements. With post-farm losses in the global supply of food estimated to be 10–40%, research throughout the food chain is as important to global food security as research to improve yields. The global trade in food is relatively small in comparison to domestic production and consumption, so improvement in the effectiveness of domestic food value-chains to deliver adequate quantities of food is important. In addition to food quantity, the importance of quality attributes, in particular food safety and sound nutrition, which contribute to overall food security, become critical elements of public policy and research investment. The Green Revolution in Asia highlights the contribution of research in improving smallholder productivity. However, research is also delivering a range of innovative outcomes throughout the value chain which are improving smallholder farmers’ ability to compete in rapidly changing markets, including in the modern retail environment, while delivering on consumer expectation, reducing waste and improving efficiencies. The paper discusses some of these innovative successes throughout the value chain that improve smallholder farmer competitiveness and contribute to global food security.

description: The treatment of the running QCD coupling in evolution equations is discussed. It is shown that the use of the virtuality of ladder (vertical) partons as the scale for QCD coupling in every rung of ladder graphs is an approximation that holds for DIS at large x only. On the contrary, in the small x region the coupling depends on the virtuality of s -channel (horizontal) gluons. This observation leads to different results for the Regge-like processes and DIS structure functions at small x.

description: Two decades ago, 93% of the world’s poor lived in countries officially classified as Low Income (LICs). Now, 72% of the world’s poor live in Middle Income Countries (MICs). The dramatic shift has been brought about by fast growth in a number of countries with large populations. On present trends, the poor in the MICs are likely to make up a substantial proportion of global poor for many years to come. This “new geography of global poverty”—with the mass of the poor living in stable, non-poor countries--raises important questions for the current model of development assistance, where national per capita income is a key determinant of the volume and composition of aid flows. What precisely is the nature of global moral obligation towards the poor in non-poor countries? Should aid allocation be targeted equally to the poor in poor and non-poor countries, or should special weight be given to the poor in poor countries? How, if at all, should international agencies with a focus on poverty reduction re-calibrate their engagement in MICs? The objective of this paper is to begin addressing these questions to spark greater debate on the new geography of global poverty.

description: The objective of this paper is to analyze how the variability of wind affects optimal dispatches and reserves in a daily optimization cycle. The Cornell SuperOPF1 is used to illustrate how the system costs can be determined for a reliable network (the amount of conventional generating capacity needed to maintain System Adequacy is determined endogenously). Eight cases are studied to illustrate the effects of geographical distribution, ramping costs and load response to customers payment in the wholesale market, and the amount of potential wind generation that is dispatched. The results in this paper use a typical daily pattern of load and capture the cost of ramping by including additions to the operating costs of the generating units associated with the hour-to-hour changes in their optimal dispatch. The proposed regulatory changes for electricity markets are 1) to establish a new market for ramping services, 2) to aggregate the loads of customers on a distribution network so that they can be represented as a single wholesale customer on the bulk-power transmission network and 3) to make use of controllable load and geographical distribution of wind to mitigate the variability of wind generation as an alternative to upgrading the capacity of the transmission network.
The value of children among tea estate workers' families : a case study in a village of West Java, Indonesia
Creators: name: Saefullah, Asep Djadja
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1979
Subjects: subject: Children Indonesia

description: This case study conducted in a village of Cibodas - Cikajang, in December 1977 - February 1978, obtained data on the value of children in a special type of Sundanese agricultural society, the estate worker community. The village is situated in the regency of Garut, one of the regencies under the authority of the West Java Government. Eighty per cent of the economically active population in this village were directly involved in agricultural activities and 74 per cent of them were agricultural workers. The social character of the community was determined on one hand by the traditional and religious values and on the other hand by the work conditions of the estate. There have been some previous studies on the value of children in Indonesian societies but none of them specifically on the peasant Sundanese society and no special information has ever been obtained on the estate worker community. This study attempts to fill some of the gaps in existing knowledge on the value of children in peasant society who are the majority of the Indonesian population. The Cibodas - Cikajang case study has succeeded in finding the socio-cultural background behind the attitude of the community towards their children, such as, children's socialization, family size, sex preferences, motivation of having children, and limitation of the number of children. In regard to the positive and negative values of children, the advantages and disadvantages of having many children, the economic benefits and economic costs of children, and various factors affecting positive and negative values were examined. The economic condition of the family and work condition were also studied to see their influence on the costs of children and the perception of children's work in the future.

description: With the persistant changes in technology and increased competition in food manufacturing, it is important to reassess the effects of agglomeration economies and market access on the performance of firms in the industry. Using survey data from a recent survey of New York state food processors, an ordered logit analysis reveals that firm growth is related to important upstream and downstream market conditions as reflected in increased access to agricultural inputs and growing population canters. The clustering of similar manufacturers has negative effects on firm growth in rural areas, but these effects are not significant in urban areas. For these reasons, policies that promote intra-industry or cross-industry collaboration would likely benefit food manufacturers, but these benefits would be limited to firms in close geographic proximity to one another. Moreover, in rural areas especially, manufacturing firms and community planners need to be aware of possible negative effects of competition from growing concentrations of firms so that these issues can be addressed before local business growth is adversely affected.

Shock wave and contact zone instabilities
Creators: name: Houwing, Arthur Francois Peter
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1982
Subjects: subject: Shock waves
subject: Shock tubes

description: It is established that a turbulent mixing zone, rather than an infinitely thin contact surface , separates the test sample from the driver gas, over a wide range of shock tube operating conditions. Severe distortions of the shock front are observed when this mixing zone is co incident with the shock wave. It is shown that these shock distortions can be removed by separating the mixing zone from the shock. This separation can be accomplished by either increasing the mean molecular weight of the driver gas, or decreasing the mean molecular weight of the test gas. A model that predicts the mixing zone to become trapped inside the relaxation zone under certain conditions, is proposed. Good agreement is achieved with experiments for the case of vibrational non-equilibrium in sulfur hexafluoride. However, improvements to the model are necessary to obtain agreement with experiments at higher enthalpy conditions. The same model also accurately predicts the lengths of test samples for the case of boundary layer entrainment when similarity assumptions are satisfied and reconciles discrepancies observed with earlier predictions for test sample lengths. In addition a general linear analysis , that unifies presently existing theories on shock wave instability , is developed, and a criterion for spontaneous distortion of the shock wave is proposed. However, modifications to the analysis are necessary when radiation losses are important. Good agreement is achieved with experimental observations for cases when radiation losses are expected to be small. An experimental technique that allows spectral line absorption to be synchronized with interferometric flow visualisation is developed, and enables earlier observations of contact zone and shock wave instability to be unambiguously confirmed by the present investigation .

description: We formulate a method to determine an equitable division of dairy farm partnership income when partners provide unequal amounts of capital, labor, and management and empirically estimate this relationship. New York dairy farm financial data are used within fixed effects and random coefficient panel regression models to reveal a systematic division of dairy farm partnership income among operators’ labor, capital, and management while controlling for heterogeneity arising from differing herd size. Results indicate that controlling for time and heterogeneity across farms due to herd size are important factors when dividing net farm income among unpaid factors of production. Empirical estimates of allocating dairy farm partnership income to equity, operators’ labor, and management are presented.

description: Many commentators have speculated that agricultural policies have contributed to increased obesity rates in the United States, yet such claims are often made without any analysis of the complex links between real-world farm commodity support programs, prices and consumption of foods, and caloric intake. This article carefully studies the effects of U.S. agricultural policies on prices and quantities of ten agricultural commodities and nine food categories in the United States over time. Using a detailed multimarket model, we simulate the counterfactual removal of measures of support applied to U.S. agricultural commodities in 1992, 1997, and 2002, and quantify the effects on U.S. food consumption and caloric intake. To parameterize the simulations, we calculate three alternative measures of consumer support (the implicit consumer subsidy from policies that support producers) for the ten agricultural commodities using information about government expenditures on agricultural commodities from various sources. Our results indicate that removing subsidies on grains and oilseeds in the three time periods would have caused caloric consumption to decrease minimally while removal of all agricultural policies (including barriers against imports of sugar and dairy products) would have caused total caloric intake to increase. Our results also indicate that the influence of agricultural policies on caloric intake has diminished over time.

Center-Vortex Solutions of the Yang-Mills Effective Action in Three and Four Dimensions

description: We calculate the one-loop effective action of the SU(2) Yang-Mills theory for center-vortex configurations, both in 3d and 4d. We find that in both cases there are minima of the effective action, corresponding to vortices of the transverse size approximately 4/g_3^2 and 1.7/Lambda_MS, respectively. The values of the effective actions at the minima are negative, suggesting that the Euclidian vacuum may be unstable with respect to creation of vortices.

description: Energy recovering an electron beam after it has participated in a free-electron laser (FEL) interaction can be quite challenging because of the substantial FEL-induced energy spread and the energy anti-damping that occurs during deceleration. In the Jefferson Lab infrared FEL driver-accelerator, such an energy recovery scheme was implemented by properly matching the longitudinal phase space throughout the recirculation transport by employing the so-called energy compression scheme. In the present paper,after presenting a single-particle dynamics approach of the method used to energy-recover the electron beam, we report on experimental validation of the method obtained by measurements of the so-called "compression efficiency" and "momentum compaction" lattice transfer maps at different locations in the recirculation transport line. We also compare these measurements with numerical tracking simulations.

description: Data from a farm survey and choice experiment are used to value the benefits of Bt cotton in Pakistan. Unlike previous research on the economic impacts of Bt, which mostly concentrated on financial benefits in terms of gross margins, we also quantify and monetize positive externalities associated with technology adoption. Due to lower chemical pesticide use on Bt cotton plots, there are significant health advantages in terms of reduced incidence of acute pesticide poisoning, and environmental advantages in terms of higher biodiversity and lower soil and groundwater contamination. These positive externalities are valued at US$ 79 per acre, of which half is attributable to health and the other half to environmental improvements. Adding average gross margin gains of US$ 204 results in an aggregate benefit of US$ 284 per acre of Bt, or US$ 1.7 billion for the total Bt cotton area in Pakistan.

description: One of the most widely discussed concepts in the study of voting and elections has been electoral bias. This thesis has two purposes. The first is to develop a number of measures of bias so as to avoid the defects inherent in those measures which have hitherto been in popular use. The second is to analyse the measures so developed from a critical viewpoint.

description: In recent years, there has been a proliferation of online gambling sites, which made gambling more accessible with a consequent rise in related problems, such as addiction. Hence, the analysis of the gambling behaviour at both the individual and the aggregate levels has become the object of several investigations. In this paper, resorting to classical methods of the kinetic theory, we describe the behaviour of a multi-agent system of gamblers participating in lottery-type games on a virtual-item gambling market. The comparison with previous, often empirical, results highlights the ability of the kinetic approach to explain how the simple microscopic rules of a gambling-type game produce complex collective trends, which might be difficult to interpret precisely by looking only at the available data.

description: The measurement of shifts in the energy of X-ray emission lines is important for understanding the electronic structure and physical properties of materials. In this study, we demonstrate a method using a synchrotron source to introduce controlled eV-scale shifts of a narrow line in between fixed-energy fluorescence lines. We use this to characterize the ability of a hard X-ray superconducting Transition Edge Sensor (TES) array to measure line shifts. Fixed fluorescence lines excited by higher harmonics of the monochromatic X-ray beam are used for online energy calibration, while elastic scattering from the primary harmonic acts as the variable energy emission line under study. We use this method to demonstrate the ability to track shifts in the energy of the elastic scattering line of magnitude smaller than the TES energy resolution, and find we are ultimately limited by our calibration procedure. The method can be applied over a wide X-ray energy range and provides a robust approach for the characterization of the ability of high-resolution detectors to detect X-ray emission line shifts, and the quantitative comparison of energy calibration procedures.

description: This paper extends the Nordhaus DICE model to include the demands for coal, oil, and natural gas. These demands depend on own price, prices of substitute fuels, per capita income, and population. An augmented Hotelling model captures the effect of depleting oil resources. A methodological advantage of including price, income, and population sensitive energy demand functions is that it allows substitution possibilities in the 'production' of emissions. Furthermore, it allows the analysis of energy tax regimes in an environment of growing world population and income, non-decreasing energy and carbon intensity, and declining petroleum availability.
