description: Using constraint-based local search, we effectively model and efficiently solve the problem of balancing the traffic demands on portions of the European airspace while ensuring that their capacity constraints are satisfied. The traffic demand of a portion of airspace is the hourly number of flights planned to enter it, and its capacity is the upper bound on this number under which air-traffic controllers can work. Currently, the only form of demand-capacity balancing we allow is ground holding, that is the changing of the take-off times of not yet airborne flights. Experiments with projected European flight plans of the year 2030 show that already this first form of demand-capacity balancing is feasible without incurring too much total delay and that it can lead to a significantly better demand-capacity balance.

description: We study the flavor structure of 4D effective theories, which are derived from extra dimensional theories with magnetic fluxes and non-Abelian Wilson lines. We study zero-mode wavefunctions and compute Yukawa couplings as well as four-point couplings. In our models, we also discuss non-Abelian discrete flavor symmetries such as $D_4$, $Δ(27)$ and $Δ(54)$.

description: The celebration of Allan Kaufman's 80th birthday was an occasion to reflect on a career that has stimulated the mutual exchange of ideas (or memes in the terminology of Richard Dawkins) between many researchers. This paper will revisit a meme Allan encountered in his early career in magnetohydrodynamics, the continuation of a magnetohydrodynamic mode through a singularity, and will also mention other problems where Allan's work has had a powerful cross-fertilizing effect in plasma physics and other areas of physics and mathematics.

description: We report the search for a nonstandard force by measuring the Casimir forces in the 0.48--6.5 $μ$m range. By comparing the data and the theory of the Casimir force, we have obtained constraints for the parameter $α$ of the Yukawa-type deviations from Newtonian gravity. The obtained limits are more stringent than previous limits in the 1.0--2.9 $μ$m range. Furthermore, we have obtained lower limits for the fundamental scale $M_{*}$ for gauged baryon number in the bulk. In particular, for six extra dimensions, the limits on $M_{*}$ are stringent in the range $6.5\times10^{-6}

Multiple Main Sequence of Globular Clusters as a Result of Inhomogeneous Big Bang Nucleosynthesis

description: A new mechanism for enhancing the helium abundance in the blue main sequence stars of omega Centauri and NGC 2808 is investigated. We suggest that helium enhancement was caused by the inhomogeneous big bang nucleosynthesis. Regions with extremely high baryon-to-photon ratios are assumed to be caused by the baryogenesis. Its mass scale is also assumed to be 10^6 Msun. An example of the mechanisms to realize these two things was already proposed as the Affleck-Dine baryogenesis. As the baryon-to-photon ratio becomes larger, the primordial helium abundance is enhanced. We calculated the big bang nucleosynthesis and found that there exists a parameter region yielding enough helium to account for the split of the main sequence in the aforementioned globular clusters while keeping the abundances of other elements compatible with observations. Our mechanism predicts that heavy elements with the mass number of around 100 is enhanced in the blue main sequence stars. We estimate the timescales of diffusion of the enhanced helium and mass accretion in several stages after the nucleosynthesis to investigate whether these processes diminish the enhancement of helium. We found that the diffusion does not influence the helium content. A cloud with a sufficiently large baryon-to-photon ratio to account for the multiple main sequence collapsed immediately after the recombination. Subsequently, the cloud accreted the ambient matter with the normal helium content. If the star formation occurred both in the collapsed core and the accreted envelope, then the resultant star cluster has a double main sequence.

description: Using the determinant representation for the field-field correlation functions of impenetrable anyons at finite temperature obtained in a previous paper, we derive a system of nonlinear partial differential equations completely characterizing the correlators. The system is the same as the one for impenetrable bosons but with different initial conditions. The large-distance asymptotic behavior of the correlation functions is obtained from the analysis of the Riemann-Hilbert problem associated with the system of differential equations. We calculate both the exponential and pre-exponential factors in the asymptotics of the field-field correlators. The asymptotics derived in this way agree with those of the free fermions and impenetrable bosons in the appropriate limits, $κ\to 1$ and $κ\to 0$, of the statistics parameter $κ$, and coincide with the predictions of the conformal field theory at low temperatures.

description: The effect of a normal H2 impurity upon the radial thermal expansion (Ar) of SWNT bundles has been investigated in the interval T = 2.2-27 K using the dilatometric method. It is found that H2 saturation of SWNT bundles causes a shift of the temperature interval of the negative thermal expansion towards lower (as compared to pure CNTs) temperatures and a sharp increase in the magnitude of (Ar) in the whole range of temperatures investigated. The low temperature desorption of H2 from a powder consisting of bundles of SWNTs, open and closed at the ends, has been investigated.

description: Using new and published photometric observations of mu1 Sco (HR 6247), spanning 70 years, a period of 1.4462700(5) days was determined. It was found that the epoch of primary minimum suggested by Shobbrook at HJD 2449534.178 requires an adjustment to HJD 2449534.17700(9) to align all the available photometric datasets. Using the resulting combined-data light-curve, radial velocities derived from IUE data and the modelling software PHOEBE, a new system solution for this binary was obtained. It appears that the secondary is close to, or just filling, its Roche-lobe.

High melodrama : an English translation of Knut Hamsun's The game of life (Livets spil, 1896), with an extensive critical introduction
Creators: name: Grabowski, Simon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The introduction to the present study of Knut Hamsun's The Game of Life (Livets spil, 1896) sums up the strange failure of this play, a remarkable work by a famous author, to gain any measurable recognition; a number of possible reasons are suggested, among them the membership of Livets spil in the so-called Kareno-trilogy, the other two plays of which are rather weak. Plots of all three plays are provided. - The introductory chapter is followed by a general survey of Hamsun’s dramatic production. Considerable space is given to a comparison between the last of his six plays, In the Grip of Life (Livet ivold, 1910) and Wedekind's Der Marquis von Keith (1900). - The remaining two long chapters - Part Three and Four - are devoted to an exhaustive examination of Livets spil. In Part Three, the method used is that of an interpretative investigation; the main characters and symbols/symbolic forces of the play are analyzed in depth and correlated. Special consideration is given to the character constellation Teresita-Jens Spir, as compared to the constellation Edvarda-Glahn in Hamsun's famous novel Pan (1894). Finally, the consistency of the play with the general story line of the trilogy is demonstrated. - The method followed in Part Four is that of a dramatic-aesthetic close-reading. The focus here is on general dramatic effectiveness, and on the many special elements in the play which go into the creation of a fantastic universe on stage. Part A discusses three aspects of dramatic technique basic to the restless style of Livets spil. Special attention is given to the principle of external intrusion, the subtle disturbance of the dialogue from a source outside of the immediate sphere of action. Part B demonstrates the intrinsically fantastic nature of a large number of the play's primary and secondary elements: The basic premises from which the action derives, character appearances and the nature and function of props, the symbolic suggestiveness of light and sound effects, and the suggestive uses and implications of spatial distance. - Finally, in the conclusion, the two basic methods of analysis followed are confronted with each other, and it is demonstrated how Hamsun realized in Livets spil some of the goals he had set himself five years earlier in his advocacy of a more psychologically oriented modern literature in Norway.

description: We carried out a near- to mid-infrared imaging and spectroscopic observations of the patchy areas in the Small Magellanic Cloud using the Infrared Camera on board AKARI. Two 100 arcmin2 areas were imaged in 3.2, 4.1, 7, 11, 15, and 24 um and also spectroscopically observed in the wavelength range continuously from 2.5 to 13.4 um. The spectral resolving power (lambda/Delta lambda) is about 20, 50, and 50 at 3.5, 6.6 and 10.6 um, respectively. Other than the two 100 arcmin2 areas, some patchy areas were imaged and/or spectroscopically observed as well. In this paper, we overview the observations and present a list of near- to mid-infrared photometric results, which lists ~ 12,000 near-infrared and ~ 1,800 mid-infrared bright point sources detected in the observed areas. The 10 sigma limits are 16.50, 16.12, 13.28, 11.26, 9.62, and 8.76 in Vega magnitudes at 3.2, 4.1, 7, 11, 15, and 24 um bands, respectively.

High speed DSP and A to D in an ice radar logging application
Creators: name: Brocklesby, Andrew K.
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: For some time the Glaciology section of the Australian Antarctic Division has operated a land-based radar to measure the depth of glacial ice in Antarctica. The radar was mounted on a sled and towed around the Lambert glacier by bulldozer at 5km per hour. High power radio frequency pulses are transmitted down into the glacial ice, propagate through the ice and reflect off the bedrock below. The reflected pulses are picked up by a receiver, amplified and passed on to a signal processing section. The waveforms from the signal processing section are logged and displayed. The time taken from pulse transmission to detection, which is proportional to ice depth, may then be obtained. Signal averaging capabilities were required to improve the system signal to noise ratio and enable ice depths of over 3km to be observed. The ground based display and logging system used a digital oscilloscope with signal averaging capabilities to digitise and process incoming radar return echoes. Up to 256 radar return echo waveforms were averaged, the result being displayed and downloaded to an IBM PC via an 1EEE488 link. Future ice depth measurements will involve airborne operations increasing the travelling speed from 5km per hour to 180km per hour. This speed increase will require greater data rates of the display, and logging system In addition the airborne antenna, being carried by a helicopter, is physically smaller than the antenna mounted on the 60 tonne overland system. A smaller antenna leads to smaller antenna effective area, which in turn reduces the radar range. The high-speed digital signal processor (DSP) and high-speed analogue to digital converter (A to D) circuit board forms part of the ice radar display and logging system, replacing the slower digital oscilloscope system. The DSP will have sufficient speed to keep pace with the data rates required for airborne operation and provide improved signal processing power to compensate for reduced radar antenna gain. As no suitable 'off the shelf' product was found the new system would utilise a custom designed high-speed DSP and high-speed A to D converter electronic circuit board. This document concerns the design of a high-speed DSP and A to D circuit board for an ice radar application.
COSMO documentation (archived version from 2019, uploaded with permission of the DWD)

description: The following three parts of the COSMO documentation (downloaded from www.cosmo-model.org) are attached below:

 PART I Dynamics and Numerics (v5.5, August 2018)
 PART II Physical Parameterization (v4.2, September 2011)
 PART VI User's Guide (5.04, February 2016) Note that the documentation applies to the COSMO as well as COSMO-CLM (version 5.0), because as stated on the community webpage: "The COSMO-CLM is the climate mode of the COSMO model and the source codes of the individual model components are identical with the COSMO model sources for each main model version."

 As the documentation version differs from model version 5.0, we checked the release notes for any relevant
 changes of the model.
 Changes in PART I concern only Section 7 "The Runge-Kutta dynamical core" and checking the tech
 reports these seem to apply to version 5.0 as well.
 Changes concerning PART II seem be only minor and unneglectable (like small bug fixes).
 Changes for PART VI could not be ruled out, as the document does not state which sections were revised.
 But this is only a more user friendly summary of the whole model, so we dont expect any deviation. In case
 a reader finds one, we suggest going with the description of PART I and II.

description: Rendering students resilient and intellectually rigorous is a primary objective of education in Malaysia. The Education Ministry has emphasised the enhancement of problem-solving and critical thinking skills, but reported that the skills performance of students in secondary schools and higher education is below the targeted proficiency level. According to the Ministry, the educational institutions are responsible for the lack of optimal performance. However, the unsatisfactory result might also be ascribed to the students' overall experience of adversity. Some students, against all odds, are academically resilient. How Malaysian secondary and higher-education students construct, develop and demonstrate academic resilience has yet to be investigated. This review of related literature is, therefore, aimed at explaining how the academic resilience approach relates to cognitive task performance of the students. Further investigations can provide guidelines to help students who are not academically resilient. This would facilitate achievement of the objective.

description: The hydrodynamic limit for the Boltzmann equation is studied in the case when the limit system, that is, the system of Euler equations contains contact discontinuities. When suitable initial data is chosen to avoid the initial layer, we prove that there exists a unique solution to the Boltzmann equation globally in time for any given Knudsen number. And this family of solutions converge to the local Maxwellian defined by the contact discontinuity of the Euler equations uniformly away from the discontinuity as the Knudsen number $\varepsilon$ tends to zero. The proof is obtained by an appropriately chosen scaling and the energy method through the micro-macro decomposition.

description: Stochastic local search (SLS) has been an active field of research in the last few years, with new techniques and procedures being developed at an astonishing rate. SLS has been traditionally associated with satisfiability solving, that is, finding a solution for a given problem instance, as its intrinsic nature does not address unsatisfiable problems. Unsatisfiable instances were therefore commonly solved using backtrack search solvers. For this reason, in the late 90s Selman, Kautz and McAllester proposed a challenge to use local search instead to prove unsatisfiability. More recently, two SLS solvers - Ranger and Gunsat - have been developed, which are able to prove unsatisfiability albeit being SLS solvers. In this paper, we first compare Ranger with Gunsat and then propose to improve Ranger performance using some of Gunsat's techniques, namely unit propagation look-ahead and extended resolution.
International joint ventures as an international business mode : a study of Australian-Indian joint ventures in India
Creators: name: As-Saber, Sharif Nafe
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: In recent years, India, the world's second most populous country, has been emerging as one of the fastest growing economies with enormous market potential. Since the beginning of India's economic liberalisation in the late 1980s, it has been attracting foreign investment from around the world. However, for many foreign companies, forming international joint ventures (UVs) with a local partner remains the preferred international business mode for entering the Indian market. Based on nine AustralianIndian UVs, this thesis empirically examines three major areas of the UV literature, viz., factors influencing the motivation to form UVs with a local partner, the complexity and the extent of the firm's involvement in the UV formation process and the factors responsible for UV success during the implementation stage. Multiple case study method was used to conduct the research. A combination of deductive and inductive processes was applied to capture the complexity and dynamism of the real world situation. Primarily, the context of the research is presented as it is reflected in the extant literature and the available market information. The conceptual framework, research question and proposition sets were framed on the basis of this research context. In-depth, face-to-face interviews were conducted with the management of nine UVs, their Australian parents and their Indian hosts. Prior theories were employed as templates for measuring outcomes. Direct observations, company documentation and other secondary information were used to assist in the interpretation of the primary data. This research has determined that UVs are an important means of Australian companies doing international business in India. It has established that the motivation to select IJVs as an international business mode is influenced by a host of environmental and organisational-specific variables. However, the extent of this influence varies with the relative importance of each of these variables. This study also has demonstrated that the UV formation process between an Australian company and an Indian host is a complex and time-consuming one. It is ascertained that the Australian-Indian IJVs face fewer difficulties during the implementation stage than anticipated earlier at the IJV motivation stage. Nonetheless, the research has confirmed the need for assistance from local partners in overcoming any environmental or organisational-specific difficulties. In addition, this research offers a range of implications relevant to policy analysis and development, management practice and theory development. Possibilities of further research, based on the findings reported here, are suggested.

description: The recently proposed Einstein molecule approach is extended to compute the free energy of molecular solids. This method is a variant of the Einstein crystal method of Frenkel and Ladd[J. Chem. Phys. 81,3188 (1984)]. In order to show its applicability, we have computed the free energy of a hard-dumbbells solid, of two recently discovered solid phases of water, namely, ice XIII and ice XIV, where the interactions between water molecules are described by the rigid non-polarizable TIP4P/2005 model potential, and of several solid phases that are thermodynamically stable for an anisotropic patchy model with octahedral symmetry which mimics proteins.Our calculations show that both the Einstein crystal method and the Einstein molecule approach yield the same results within statistical uncertainty.In addition, we have studied in detail some subtle issues concerning the calculation of the free energy of molecular solids. First, for solids with non-cubic symmetry, we have studied the effect of the shape of the simulation box on the free energy. Our results show that the equilibrium shape of the simulation box must be used to compute the free energy in order to avoid the appearance of artificial stress in the system that will result in an increase of the free energy. In complex solids, such as the solid phases of water, another difficulty is related to the choice of the reference structure. As in some cases there is not an obvious orientation of the molecules, it is not clear how to generate the reference structure. Our results will show that,as long as the structure is not too far from the equilibrium structure,the calculated free energy is invariant to the reference structure used in the free energy calculations. Finally, the strong size dependence of the free energy of solids is also studied.

description: On May Thirtieth 1925 in Shanghai, a group of Municipal police officers under the command of a British Inspector fired upon a crowd of Chinese students and pedestrians killing twelve and wounding numerous others. This thesis is an examination of the May Thirtieth Incident; but it is also an examination of the background to the Incident and its resulting aftermath. Foreign interest and action in China played an important role in the background to the May Thirtieth Incident as did nationalist and anti-foreign propaganda and agitation. It was, however, domestic issues and events in Shanghai that led directly to the student demonstrations on May 30th. Once the Incident occurred, nationalist and anti-foreign sentiments again became quite important as did the role and influence of the CCP. There ensued in Shanghai and other centers further agitation, strikes, and general boycotts against foreign interests in China.

description: We present the first Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) observations of the [O IV] 25.89 $μ$m emission line detected from the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) in Holmberg II. This line is a well established signature of high ionization, usually associated with AGN. Its detection suggests that the ULX has a strong impact on the surrounding gas. A Spitzer high resolution spectral map shows that the [O IV] is coincident with the X-ray position of the ULX. The ratios of the [O IV] to lower ionization lines are similar to those observed in AGN, suggesting that a strong UV and X-ray source is responsible for the photoionization. The best XMM-Newton data is used to model the X-ray band which is then extrapolated into the UV. We perform infrared and ultraviolet photometry, and use previously published optical and radio data to construct the full SED for the ULX and its companion. The preferred model to describe the SED includes an accretion disk which dominates the soft X-rays but contributes little at UV and optical wavelengths. The optical counterpart is consistent with a B supergiant as previously suggested in other studies. The bolometric luminosity of the ULX suggests the presence of an intermediate-mass black hole with mass $>$85 M$_\odot$ for sub-Eddington accretion or, alternatively, a stellar-mass black hole that is accreting at super-Eddington rates. In a follow-up second paper we perform detailed photoionization modeling of the infrared lines in order to constrain the bolometric luminosity of the ULX.

Onion rhizobacteria as potential plant health promotants

description: Sclerotium cepivorum Berk. (Berkeley, 1841), the causal agent of Allium White Root Rot (AWRR) disease poses a major threat to the sustainability of the Tasmanian onion industry, an export commodity which is worth $A40 million to the state's economy. Tasmanian research into alternatives to fungicides for the management of this disease has been primarily focussed on use of Trichoderma spp. as fungal antagonists and novel bioactive substances such as diallyl disulphides. In this study, antifungal bacteria from the onion rhizosphere were examined for their potential as plant growth promotion agents with the view to provide an additional component in the present integrated control strategy. Bacteria isolated from root samples of healthy onions growing in an AVVRR pathogen infested paddock were found to possess antifungal properties when co-cultured in vitro with the pathogen at 10¬¨‚àûC (typical of cropping soil temperatures for onions in Tasmania). The five bacterial strains most active in S. cepivorum inhibition were identified as members of the Enterobacteriaceae. Molecular taxonomy studies indicated these were putatively novel species. These isolates were screened in glasshouse trials with one isolate, M1RB2, inducing production of significantly greater onion shoot biomass in dry warm conditions. All bacteria trialled were suitable for formulation as a broadcast powder, and exhibited high tolerance to Benlate, Thiram and Folicur, the three fungicides most commonly used on Tasmanian onion crops. Studies on the impact of these fungicides on native microbial populations showed that bacterial numbers may be elevated by the application of a benlate-thiram seed dressing. These two traits are of particular significance if a commercial product was to be developed. ELISA surveys of the rhizosphere showed an increase in the proportion of M6SA1-like bacteria in pots to which the bacteria had been introduced but no significant change in total bacterial numbers.

Dynamical state reduction in an EPR experiment

Year: 2009

description: A model is developed to describe state reduction in an EPR experiment as a continuous, relativistically-invariant, dynamical process. The system under consideration consists of two entangled isospin particles each of which undergo isospin measurements at spacelike separated locations. The equations of motion take the form of stochastic differential equations. These equations are solved explicitly in terms of random variables with a priori known probability distribution in the physical probability measure. In the course of solving these equations a correspondence is made between the state reduction process and the problem of classical nonlinear filtering. It is shown that the solution is covariant, violates Bell inequalities, and does not permit superluminal signaling. It is demonstrated that the model is not governed by the Free Will Theorem and it is argued that the claims of Conway and Kochen, that there can be no relativistic theory providing a mechanism for state reduction, are false.

description: The notion of a Heisenberg Uniqueness Pair (HUP) is introduced. This amounts to asking which collections of exponentials are weak-star fundamental in $L^\infty$ on a planar curve. In the case when the curve is a hyperbola, we can give a complete answer if the frequencies are restricted to equally spaced points on a lattice-cross. As a consequence, we solve a problem on the density of algebras generated by two inner functions raised by Matheson and Stessin.

Non-Abelian Discrete Groups from the Breaking of Continuous Flavor Symmetries

description: We discuss the possibility of obtaining a non-abelian discrete flavor symmetry from an underlying continuous, possibly gauged, flavor symmetry SU(2) or SU(3) through spontaneous symmetry breaking. We consider all possible cases, where the continuous symmetry is broken by small representations. "Small" representations are these which couple at leading order to the Standard Model fermions transforming as two- or three-dimensional representations of the flavor group. We find that, given this limited representation content, the only non-abelian discrete group which can arise as a residual symmetry is the quaternion group D_2'.
