description: The main aim of this book is to contribute to our understanding of the acquisition of second language intonation, by comparing Czech learners of Spanish with German learners of Spanish and Czech learners of Italian. By means of a large production database, the study seeks to uncover how L1-to-L2 intonational transfer works and what role prosodic (dis)similarities between languages play. Contrary to most previous research, the work presents an original multidirectional cross-linguistic comparison and examines different types of sentence, such as neutral and non-neutral statements, yes/no questions, wh-questions, exclamatives and vocatives. The findings reveal positive and negative transfer from L1 to L2, and the formation of mixed patterns as well as native-like patterns, which are mainly constrained by linguistic factors such as the type of sentence and the position of the tonal event in the utterance. The results are discussed within Mennen’s (2015) L2 Intonation Learning theory and lead to the formulation of a Developmental L2 Intonation Hypothesis that makes several generalizations to characterize interlanguage intonation. This volume not only represents a step forward in the study of the acquisition of L2 intonation in general but also offers valuable findings that can be directly or indirectly applied in the classroom and will hopefully inspire further research.

description: The phenomenological Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation of motion remains as the cornerstone of contemporary magnetisation dynamics studies, wherein the Gilbert damping parameter has been attributed to first-order relativistic effects. To include magnetic inertial effects the LLG equation has previously been extended with a supplemental inertia term and the arising inertial dynamics has been related to second-order relativistic effects. Here we start from the relativistic Dirac equation and, performing a Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation, derive a generalised Pauli spin Hamiltonian that contains relativistic correction terms to any higher order. Using the Heisenberg equation of spin motion we derive general relativistic expressions for the tensorial Gilbert damping and magnetic inertia parameters, and show that these tensors can be expressed as series of higher-order relativistic correction terms. We further show that, in the case of a harmonic external driving field, these series can be summed and we provide closed analytical expressions for the Gilbert and inertial parameters that are functions of the frequency of the driving field.

description: Rapid response and short time latency are very important for Time Domain Astronomy, such as the observations of Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) and electromagnetic (EM) counterparts of gravitational waves (GWs). Based on the near real-time Fermi/GBM data, we developed a low-latency pipeline to automatically calculate the temporal and spectral properties of GRBs. With this pipeline, some important parameters can be obtained, such as T90 and fluence, within ~20 minutes after the GRB trigger. For ~90% GRBs, T90 and fluence are consistent with the GBM catalog results within 2 sigma errors. This pipeline has been used by the Gamma-ray Bursts Polarimeter (POLAR) and the Insight Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (Insight-HXMT) to follow up the bursts of interest. For GRB 170817A, the first EM counterpart of GW events detected by Fermi/GBM and INTEGRAL/SPI-ACS, the pipeline gave T90 and spectral information in 21 minutes after the GBM trigger, providing important information for POLAR and Insight-HXMT observations.

description: From the arrival of the London Missionary Society in the Pacific in 1797, Anglophone missionaries began to engage with the prehistory of the region. By offering observations and published accounts, collecting material culture, and recording oral traditions and language terms, they contributed to emerging theories of the prehistory and origins of Pacific people. Some missionaries also presented their own interpretations of the available data. This thesis considers the involvement of Anglophone missionaries in the development of archaeology in the Pacific through the 19th and early 20th centuries and explores how and to what extent they were influenced by local and global frameworks. These frameworks included local artefact and knowledge networks as well as scholarly contributions by individuals and scientific societies. The thesis is framed around two individuals: Reverend Frederick Gatherer Bowie, active with the Presbyterian Church in Vanuatu (then New Hebrides), 1896–1933, and Reverend Charles Elliot Fox, active with the Melanesian Mission in Solomon Islands, 1902–1973. Evidence is drawn from the artefact collecting activities and writing of both men, and from Bowie's field photography. I demonstrate developments in missionary theories of prehistory over time, which can be traced alongside wider scholarly paradigm shifts and developing notions of 'time' as related to understandings of the human past. As well as exploring the agency of missionary researchers and their interlocutors, I seek to unravel the influence of interwoven knowledge networks on missionary engagement with Pacific prehistory, developing a narrative of the people and things involved. My research highlights the necessity of examining a range of actors and things circulating across different locales in the development of Pacific archaeology as a discipline. Such studies contribute to our understanding of how certain disciplinary concepts became popular and were replicated over time, and conversely how other theories fell out of favour. I argue that missionaries of different denominations, who may have previously been overlooked, have a place in this broader historical narrative. I also argue that missionary research resources have potential value for Pacific communities today, and that research presented in this thesis can facilitate access to such resources.

description: Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) represent a promising technology to increase the electrical efficiency of biomass-based combined-heat-power systems in comparison to state-of-the-art gas engines, additionally providing high temperature heat. To identify favorable gas compositions and operating conditions for an efficient coupling with gasifiers at low degradation risk is of major importance to ensure stability, reliability and durability of the systems used. Therefore, this study presents a comprehensive analysis on the influence of main gas components on the performance of an industrial-size SOFC relevant for the use with product gases from biomass gasification. Recommendations for concentrations of H2O, CO, CH4 and CO2 in a H2+N2 gas mixture for enhancing cell performance are presented. Moreover, the degradation stability of a loaded cell fueled with a modeled steam-gasifier product gas is investigated showing no performance- or substrate degradation.

Characterizing a Quantum Memory Incorporating an Entangled Light Source
Creators: name: Duda, Charlotte
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2020

description: It has been proposed that secure communication over large distances can be achieved using quantum repeater protocols. Two key components which are required for a repeater are an entangled light source and a quantum memory. The approach investigated here, is to use a protocol which incorporates both a memory and entangled light source using rephased amplified spontaneous emission (RASE). To be a viable repeater, RASE must achieve second long storage times, and efficiencies exceeding 90%. The focus of this thesis was to investigate the mechanisms limiting the efficiency of RASE. In this work, RASE was performed in the rare-earth ion-doped crystal Pr3+:Y2SiO5, and the coherence was stored on the ground hyperfine transition for 5 µs. Rare-earth ion-doped crystals are an ideal platform for RASE because they offer long optical and hyperfine coherence times. The hyperfine transitions are of particular interest, because the memory storage times required for repeater can be engineered. RASE works by inverting an ensemble of two-level atoms to create the optical gain necessary for amplified spontaneous emission (ASE). Detection of ASE heralds the ensemble into a collective state which is entangled with the emitted field. Because the ensemble is inhomogeneously broadened, the collective state will then begin to dephase. The state can be rephased, after a tunable delay time, and the entanglement readout as a second optical field (RASE). In this work, the metric chosen to confirm entanglement was the inseparability criterion. In previous work, the two emitted fields of light were proven to be entangled with significant confidence, however, the rephasing efficiency was limited to 3% [1]. The explanation for this was a mismatch between the first and second pass of the beam through the crystal, which was the consequence of a retroreflective mirror being positioned incorrectly. In this thesis, the beam mismatch, caused by the position of the mirror, was shown to not affect the RASE experiment. Instead, the RASE experiment is more likely to be affected by a spatial mode mismatch which is caused by the distortion of the control pulses. The effect of these distortions was observed in the efficiency measurement of RASE. According to the theory, the efficiency of RASE should consistently improve with optical depth. Experimentally, however, in the regime where the two fields were entangled, the efficiency was maximized at 8.3% when the optical depth was 0.8. The performance then began to deteriorate when the optical depth exceeded 1. This result, therefore, informs how the RASE experiment should be designed in the future. Specifically, care should be taken to correct for the effects of any spatial mode distortions, in order for RASE to operate at the threshold efficiency required for a quantum repeater.

description: In this paper we study the regularity of the free boundary for a vector-valued Bernoulli problem, with no sign assumptions on the boundary data. More precisely, given an open, smooth set of finite measure $D\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, $Λ>0$ and $φ_i\in H^{1/2}(\partial D)$, we deal with \[ \min{\left\{\sum_{i=1}^k\int_D|\nabla v_i|^2+Λ\Big|\bigcup_{i=1}^k\{v_i\not=0\}\Big|\;:\;v_i=φ_i\;\mbox{on }\partial D\right\}}. \] We prove that, for any optimal vector $U=(u_1,\dots, u_k)$, the free boundary $\partial (\cup_{i=1}^k\{u_i\not=0\})\cap D$ is made of a regular part, which is relatively open and locally the graph of a $C^\infty$ function, a singular part, which is relatively closed and has Hausdorff dimension at most $d-d^*$, for a $d^*\in\{5,6,7\}$ and by a set of branching (two-phase) points, which is relatively closed and of finite $\mathcal{H}^{d-1}$ measure. Our arguments are based on the NTA structure of the regular part of the free boundary.

description: Despite the great advancement of experimental tools and theoretical models, a quantitative characterization of the microscopic structures of ion aggregates and its associated water hydrogen-bonding networks still remains a challenging problem. In this paper, a newly-invented mathematical method called persistent homology is introduced, for the first time, to quantitatively analyze the intrinsic topological properties of ion aggregation systems and hydrogen-bonding networks. Two most distinguishable properties of persistent homology analysis of assembly systems are as follows. First, it does not require a predefined bond length to construct the ion or hydrogen network. Persistent homology results are determined by the morphological structure of the data only. Second, it can directly measure the size of circles or holes in ion aggregates and hydrogen-bonding networks. To validate our model, we consider two well-studied systems, i.e., NaCl and KSCN solutions, generated from molecular dynamics simulations. They are believed to represent two morphological types of aggregation, i.e., local clusters and extended ion network. It has been found that the two aggregation types have distinguishable topological features and can be characterized by our topological model very well. For hydrogen-bonding networks, KSCN systems demonstrate much more dramatic variations in their local circle structures with the concentration increase. A consistent increase of large-sized local circle structures is observed and the sizes of these circles become more and more diverse. In contrast, NaCl systems show no obvious increase of large-sized circles. Instead a consistent decline of the average size of circle structures is observed and the sizes of these circles become more and more uniformed with the concentration increase.

description: Pion and kaon mean free paths within a thermal hadronic background are calculated using relativistic kinetic theory. Free cross sections are used which include contributions from $ρ$, $K^{*}$, $Δ$ and heavier resonances. Given pion to baryon ratios appropriate for the breakup stage of a $200\cdot A$GeV relativistic-heavy-ion collision, we find for temperatures less than 100 MeV, kaons have a shorter mean free path than pions, while for higher breakup temperatures the reverse is true. Since breakup temperatures should be in the neighborhood of 100 MeV, this suggests that kaon interferometry samples the same emission distribution as pion interferometry.

description: Following Verlinde's conjecture, we show that Tsallis' classical free particle distribution at temperature $T$ can generate Newton's gravitational force's $r^{-2}$ {\it distance's dependence}. If we want to repeat the concomitant argument by appealing to either Boltzmann-Gibbs' or Renyi's distributions, the attempt fails and one needs to modify the conjecture. Keywords: Tsallis', Boltzmann-Gibbs', and Renyi's distributions, classical partition function, entropic force.

description: We find the general solution to Polchinski's classical scattering equations for $1+1$ dimensional string theory. This allows efficient computation of scattering amplitudes in the standard Liouville $\times$ $c=1$ background. Moreover, the solution leads to a mapping from a large class of time-dependent collective field theory backgrounds to corresponding nonlinear sigma models. Finally, we derive recursion relations between tachyon amplitudes. These may be summarized by an infinite set of nonlinear PDE's for the partition function in an arbitrary time-dependent background.

description: The last decade of the nineteenth century is widely viewed as one of the most momentous in Australian history. There are many studies which focus on the period, thematically or as broad historical narratives of the Australian colonies. There are none that explore how the events and themes were manifested in rural NSW, nor are there any analyses which reveal the experiences of ordinary people. This thesis explores the suppositions about the early years of the 1890s in Central West NSW through the lens of ordinary people. What is evident in this study is that it was day-to-day affairs that dominated the lives of most people who were concerned that the stability, trust, cohesiveness and prosperity of their communities, characteristics associated with Tönnies’ concept of gemeinschaft, were not undermined. This is an account of the Central West during this period. As a regional history, a genre that has been largely ignored in recent years, it is a worthwhile narrative on its own account but it also enables an analysis of larger themes and their impact on daily life. In addition to concentrating on a specific area, I have focussed on a short span or a ‘slice’ of time – 1891 to 1893 – as a means of more effectively dealing with a multifaceted and almost overwhelming eventful decade. It is a history ‘as lived’ highlighting everyday experiences without the benefit of hindsight, but without neglecting a full historical analysis. Ordinary people are habitually overlooked in most traditional and social histories of colonial NSW. Biographers have chronicled individual lives but there are few collective biographies, the study of which could shed light on wider historical issues. Hundreds of individuals appear in and are pivotal to this study. They come from a broad range of occupations and different socio-economic backgrounds and represent diverse communities of interest. Hitherto many have been chiefly anonymous and often there are scant personal details. Nonetheless, it is their stories that enrich and enlighten this study.

Fishing for answers: Zooarchaeology and human remains from the Wallacean Islands
Creators: name: Samper Carro, Sofia
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2019

description: During the Late Pleistocene, Island Southeast Asia (ISEA) was affected by dramatic changes in sea level and climate. The glacial phases were characterised by lower sea levels and changes in humidity and rainfall, with the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; c.26-15 ka) being the peak of the extreme environmental shifts in the region. Human occupation during and post-LGM would likely have been affected by variations in island size, nearshore coastal profile, changing marine habitats and resource availability. While these questions have been previously addressed in nearby regions, the Lesser Sunda Islands of the Wallacean Archipelago constitute a not fully explored scenario to tackle these and other complementary issues. Human arrival and survival in these islands would have required skilled capacities to exploit the rich marine fauna that would provide the resources needed to subsist. This thesis examines past human adaptations and subsistence practices in Alor island during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene. Excavations in the Tron Bon Lei rock shelters in 2014 yielded an extensive vertebrate assemblage, as well as stone artefacts, abundant shellfish and human remains. Human occupations are dated from the Late Pleistocene (~21 ka cal BP) to the Late Holocene (~3 ka cal BP). This research focuses on the analysis of the vertebrate zooarchaeological accumulations and human remains from Tron Bon Lei. In addition to the application of traditional methodological practices for the analysis of faunal assemblages, new methodologies are developed. The analysis of the human remains focuses on craniometric comparisons with human remains from other areas in order to gain insights into human migrations and adaptations. This thesis provides new data to interpret human lifeways and adaptations in the Wallacean Islands, using Alor Island as a case study to interpret human subsistence practices during and after the LGM. The results presented here suggest that human populations subsisting in Alor were heavily dependent on fish and other marine resources, whose composition varied due to environmental changes. The modern human remains from Alor indicate the likely presence of a distinctive phenotype in the Wallacean Islands, smaller than other contemporary humans. This thesis contributes to the analysis of human subsistence and biological adaptations in the Wallacean Islands from the Late Pleistocene to the Late Holocene. The data from Tron Bon Lei is correlated to sea level changes during the phases of occupation of the site, to evaluate the effect that these had in the occupation dynamics and subsistence strategies of the inhabitants of Alor. The results are contextualised within the region, serving as a benchmark for future research and further analyses in other Wallacean assemblages.

Classical and Quantum Integrable Systems in $\wt{\gr{gl}}(2)^{+*}$ and Separation of Variables

description: Classical integrable Hamiltonian systems generated by elements of the Poisson commuting ring of spectral invariants on rational coadjoint orbits of the loop algebra $\wt{\gr{gl}}^{+*}(2,{\bf R})$ are integrated by separation of variables in the Hamilton-Jacobi equation in hyperellipsoidal coordinates. The canonically quantized systems are then shown to also be completely integrable and separable within the same coordinates. Pairs of second class constraints defining reduced phase spaces are implemented in the quantized systems by choosing one constraint as an invariant, and interpreting the other as determining a quotient (i.e., by treating one as a first class constraint and the other as a gauge condition). Completely integrable, separable systems on spheres and ellipsoids result, but those on ellipsoids require a further modification of order $\OO(\hbar^2)$ in the commuting invariants in order to assure self-adjointness and to recover the Laplacian for the case of free motion. For each case - in the ambient space ${\bf R}^{n}$, the sphere and the ellipsoid - the Schrödinger equations are completely separated in hyperellipsoidal coordinates, giving equations of generalized Lamé type.

description: We report on an investigation of various problems related to the theory of the electroweak phase transition. This includes a determination of the nature of the phase transition, a discussion of the possible role of higher order radiative corrections and the theory of the formation and evolution of the bubbles of the new phase. We find in particular that no dangerous linear terms appear in the effective potential. However, the strength of the first order phase transition is 2/3 times less than what follows from the one-loop approximation. This rules out baryogenesis in the minimal version of the electroweak theory.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.
