Dark Matter Self-Interactions and Light Force Carriers

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Recent observations from PAMELA, FERMI, and ATIC point to a new source of high energy cosmic rays. If these signals are due to annihilating dark matter, then the annihilation cross section in the present day must be substantially larger than that necessary for thermal freeze-out in the early universe. A new force, mediated by a particle of mass O(100 MeV), leading to a velocity dependent annihilation cross section - a `Sommerfeld enhancement' - has been proposed as a possible explanation. We point out that such models necessarily increase the dark matter (DM) self-scattering cross section, and use observational bounds on the amount of DM-DM scattering allowed in various astrophysical systems to place constraints on the mass and couplings of the light mediator.

title: CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing for the generation of YB1 knockout human and insect cell lines for the production of recombinant Adeno-associated virus vectors
Creators: name: Miah, Kamran
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2019

description: The use of Adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors for gene therapy has been most promising because of their safety profile; however, current production methods limit desirable amounts of AAV vectors. Significant efforts have been made to improve AAV production systems, including the optimisation of vector expression cassettes and the regulation of producer cell factors. In this study, we endeavoured to alter the host cell gene expression using CRISPR/Cas9 technology to improve AAV production. We generated knockouts of Y-Box protein (YB)1 in 293T, and the putatively identified homologue Spodoptera frugiperda Y-Box protein (SfYB) in Sf9 cells. We present the first example in which CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing can be utilised to regulate cell-intrinsic factors that may be implicated in AAV vector production; although, the disruption of YB1 or SfYB did not generate enhanced AAV vector producer cell lines. YB1 knockout cells presented with heightened sensitivity to chloroquine and limited its use for AAV vector production. The protective function of YB1 to chloroquine-induced cytotoxicity was demonstrated, and analysis of YB1 mutants suggested that its cold shock domain was the principle mediator of this resistance. We also identified YB1 associations with AAV serotype 2 (AAV2) inverted terminal repeat (ITR) in vitro, and a rather distinct colocalisation between YB1 mutant – encompassing YB1’s C-terminal domain (CTD) and AAV2 intact particle and AAV2 capsid to the nucleolar compartment. Therefore, there may be associations between YB1 and its CTD in AAV2 vector production. We also present the advantages of using a repertoire of assays to characterise CRISPR/Cas9-edited cell lines. This included the advantage of establishing clonal populations that were homozygous for their knockout mutation(s), and utilising target-specific antibodies for screening knockouts. Regardless, CRISPR/Cas9 has become a mainstream technology allowing for specific and efficient genome editing, and is revolutionising human gene therapy with the potential of giving rise to an entirely new class of therapeutics.

description: Over recent decades, a new type of electric energy storage system has emerged with the principle that the electric charge can be stored not only at the interface between the electrode and the electrolyte but also in the bulk electrolyte by redox activities of the electrolyte itself. Those redox electrolytes are promising for non-flow hybrid energy storage systems, or redox electrolyte-aided hybrid energy storage (REHES) systems; particularly, when they are combined with highly porous carbon electrodes. In this review paper, critical design considerations for the REHES systems are discussed as well as the effective electrochemical characterization techniques. Appropriate evaluation of the electrochemical performance is discussed thoroughly, including advanced analytical techniques for the determination of the electrochemical stability of the redox electrolytes and self-discharge rate. Additionally, critical summary tables for the recent progress on REHES systems are provided. Furthermore, the unique synergistic combination of porous carbon materials and redox electrolytes is introduced in terms of the diffusion, adsorption, and electrochemical kinetics modulating energy storage in REHES systems. © 2018 The Author(s)

description: Galaxy clusters are the largest structures for which there is observational evidence of a magnetised medium. Central cores seem to host strong magnetic fields ranging from a few 0.1 microG up to several 10 microG in cooling flow clusters. Numerous clusters harbor central powerful AGN which are thought to prevent cooling flows in some clusters. The influence of such feedback on the magnetic field remains unclear: does the AGN-induced turbulence compensate the loss of magnetic amplification within a cool core? And how is this turbulence sustained over several Gyr? Using high resolution magneto-hydrodynamical simulations of the self-regulation of a radiative cooling cluster, we study for the first time the evolution of the magnetic field within the central core in the presence of a powerful AGN jet. It appears that the jet-induced turbulence strongly amplifies the magnetic amplitude in the core beyond the degree to which it would be amplified by pure compression in the gravitational field of the cluster. The AGN produces a non-cooling core and increases the magnetic field amplitude in good agreement with microG field observations.

High seas marine protected areas : concept and discourse analysis
Creators: name: Hislop, CF
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The notion of creating marine protected areas (MPAs) in the high seas has been hailed as an idea whose time has come‚ÄövÑvp, and advocates are calling for them to be part of a global representative system to be established by 2012. This thesis argues that embedding the high seas MPA concept within the macro-goal of a global representative system by 2012, and the high seas epistemic community's persistence that this system be contained within an appropriate legal framework subsumes more pragmatic and politically acceptable micro-actions‚ÄövÑvp. I suggest an alternative approach, namely a 'prototype' high seas MPA established by means of an informal agreement between a small number of countries that share both political will and technological capacity to make a difference. Prototypes enable policy diffusion: a successful programme draws attention and establishes de facto standards that can be diffused laterally and adapted to similar problems elsewhere. Counter-intuitively, if unsuccessful, the experience can be used to clarify what to do differently in the future. The concept of a legally binding, globally representative system of high seas MPAs, and the fit this 'macro-concept' has within the vast and evolving global oceans governance 'seascape' is explored and critiqued against the backdrop of complex adaptive systems theory, components of international relations theory, and Rogers' diffusions of innovation. Complex adaptive systems theory provides a metaphorical framework for analysing and evaluating the arguments and motivation of the oceans conservation epistemic community in relation to the concept of high seas MPAs. This thesis argues that development of politically contentious conservation arrangements such as high seas MPAs may have a better chance of success if they proceed by increments and are negotiated outside the limelight of a full-scale, temporally defined global programme. I argue that international acceptance of the high seas MPA concept stands to benefit from a more politically cautious 'micro-action' ‚Äö- a prototype ‚Äö- modelled on the 2004 agreement to protect in situ the wreck and remaining artefacts of the Titanic (the Titanic Accord). A high seas MPA prototype would allow Parties to develop a collaborative and cooperative rules-based regime to manage the actions of their citizens involved in activities that may have a negative impact on a specific area of the marine environment.

title: Spatial patterns in the sustainability of beef and sheep farming in the English LFA
Creators: name: Vittis, Georgios
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2019

description: Sustainable development of the agricultural sector has become the leading edge of the agricultural scientific debate and policy making both in the UK as well as in the international level. This has arisen due to the need for an agricultural sector that is continuously able to provide food, generate economic outputs and preserve environmental quality. This study uses physical and financial farm-level data on farm businesses in the Less Favoured Areas of England, as well as data regarding environmental, weather and landscape characteristics, to create a framework enabling the sustainable development of hill farming systems. Statistical techniques including a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and a Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) were used to identify drivers of performance within upland farms, whilst mathematical programming methods that regard Linear Programming (LP) modelling were incorporated to study the impacts of farm management, environmental conditions and socioeconomic context. Furthermore, through a spatial analysis within Geographic Information Systems (GIS), this study reveals geographical insights regarding the sustainable development of the uplands, creating knowledge for the design future policy support. The empirical results highlight a range of parameters that trigger leading or lagging performances relative to farm-level management decisions such as financial dependency and the social characteristics of the farmer as well as inherent landscape characteristics that regard proximity to abattoirs or level of physical disadvantage. Additionally, in examining practices that promote sustainable development, results point out that integration of crop and livestock production systems (ICLS) allows enhanced farm-level performance and sustainability. Moreover, results from the geographical analysis point out the spatial variability of such factors among the regions of Cumbria, Northumberland and the Peak District, highlighting the need for a new agricultural policy that will spatially target support by taking into consideration the potential opportunities as well as the natural handicaps that exist across the various landscapes.

description: In the multi-type totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) on the line, each site of Z is occupied by a particle labeled with some number, and two neighboring particles are interchanged at rate one if their labels are in increasing order. Consider the process with the initial configuration where each particle is labeled by its position. It is known that in this case a.s. each particle has an asymptotic speed which is distributed uniformly on [-1,1]. We study the joint distribution of these speeds: the TASEP speed process. We prove that the TASEP speed process is stationary with respect to the multi-type TASEP dynamics. Consequently, every ergodic stationary measure is given as a projection of the speed process measure. This generalizes previous descriptions restricted to finitely many classes. By combining this result with known stationary measures for TASEPs with finitely many types, we compute several marginals of the speed process, including the joint density of two and three consecutive speeds. One striking property of the distribution is that two speeds are equal with positive probability and for any given particle there are infinitely many others with the same speed. We also study the partially asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP). We prove that the states of the ASEP with the above initial configuration, seen as permutations of Z, are symmetric in distribution. This allows us to extend some of our results, including the stationarity and description of all ergodic stationary measures, also to the ASEP.

description: The biocompatible Ti40Cu34Pd14Zr10Sn2 bulk metallic glass was rapidly heated, also known as flash-annealed, at varying heating rates up to 1579 K/s. Thereby, the phase formation was characterized via advanced in-situ high-energy X-ray diffraction. It has been found that the evolving kinetic constraints can be used as a tool to deliberately alter the crystalline phase formation. This novel processing route permits to select phases to crystallize to a predefined fraction and, thus, to potentially design the microstructure of materials according to a specified property-profile. Consequently, flash-annealing poses a unique synthesis route to design materials with, for instance, good biomechanical compatibility.

title: Structure-function characterisation of Chlamydia pneumoniae’s major outer membrane protein
Creators: name: Danson, Amy Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2019

description: Chlamydia pneumoniae is a Gram negative bacterium responsible for a number of human respiratory diseases and linked to some chronic inflammatory diseases. The major outer membrane protein (MOMP) of Chlamydia is a conserved immunologically dominant protein located in the outer membrane, which together with its surface exposure and abundance, has led to MOMP being the main focus for vaccine and antimicrobial studies in recent decades. In the absence of structural data for MOMP, the fatty acid transporter of E. coli, FadL, was used for the development of a plausible homology model, which suggested a 14-stranded b-barrel. X-ray crystallography has revealed a lowresolution crystal structure at 4 Å, from non-optimised crystals, that showed a β-barrel structure with an occluded pore. Initial research focussed on producing recombinant stable and active MOMP for higher resolution structural studies. In this work, MOMP’s yield was greatly improved through the use of SB3-14 for solubilisation, identified through detergent screening using FSEC and Western blotting. Optimisation of the purification procedure led to crystallisation screening of DDM exchanged MOMP. The resulting crystals were analysed using a synchrotron radiation source. Diffraction patterns indicated that a small selection of crystals were protein, yielding new crystallisation conditions that can be optimised in future research. Confirmed as a β-barrel protein, MOMP is often considered to have a porin-like function. Homology modelling with FadL, as well as the low resolution structure, indicate an occluded barrel and is suggestive of a more active transport role for MOMP, namely for fatty acids which are known to be scavenged from the host. The ability of MOMP to transport fatty acids was assessed using a novel functional growth assay in E. coli, developed in this work. Although MOMP was shown to be expressed in the outer membrane, using fluorescence microscopy, interestingly, transport of fatty acids was not observed. However, MOMP has a more widely accepted role in the Chlamydial outer membrane complex through the formation of intermolecular disulphide bonds, although the exact interactions formed are currently unknown. It was hypothesised in this work, due to the large number of cysteines available for disulphide bonding, that interactions occur with cysteine rich pockets as opposed to individual residues. Molecular dynamics simulations in conjunction with the crystal structure provided an impetus for rational cysteine mutant design. The localisation of MOMP in the E. coli membrane was assessed with super resolution fluorescence microscopy, which in support of this novel hypothesis showed a decrease in membrane clustering with cysteine rich regions containing two mutations, indicative of a compensatory mechanism never before conceived.
Voluntary disclosure of intangibles by capital-raising companies in Australia
Creators: name: Abdul Halim, H
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The decline in the usefulness of financial reports and the invisibility of intangibles information in those reports has resulted in a growing effort to expand disclosure by way of voluntary reporting to reduce the information asymmetry problem. Prior studies on intangibles disclosure have successfully created awareness about the importance of intangibles. However, the literature argues that clear results on the determinants of differential disclosure are still scarce and that prior research does not offer a strong theoretical basis to interpret the motives for disclosure. A direct comparison of disclosure behaviour between firms with and without a capital-raising motive provided by this study should provide an understanding of how these firms signal their intangibles information. Focusing on the top 200 Australian firms (based on market capitalisation) in 2006- 2008, this study aims to determine whether financing decisions provide a strong incentive for firms to signal a greater variety of intangibles information, a higher level of disclosure and more intense information to the capital market. Content analysis of annual reports and prospectuses is carried out to determine the variety, and extent of intangibles disclosure. Incorporating a range of impression management tools in signalling information, this study also explores the concept of intensity of disclosure, which reflects the strength of messages presented based on their type, nature and also their presentation emphasis. The findings, which support signalling theory, provide evidence that capital-raiser firms disclose a greater variety of voluntary intangibles information with a higher level of disclosure in their annual reports immediately prior to capital-raising activity. Further, capital-raisers provide more intense and powerful signals compared to their non-capital-raiser counterparts. In addition to annual reports, these firms also utilise prospectuses to signal intangibles information during capital-raising activity. However, the variety, extent and intensity of disclosure in prospectuses are significantly lower compared to disclosure in annual reports. The overall findings suggest that in order to compensate for the inadequacy of financial reports, capitalraiser firms strive to make intangibles information visible in both annual reports and prospectuses by not only making narrative disclosures but also by emphasising intangibles using pictures and presentation emphasis by way of repetition. This is consistent with the motivation to provide intangibles information that investors will not only recognise but that they will also retain and recall when making investment decisions.

description: We systematically construct flipped SU(5) X U(1)_X models without and with bulk vector-like particles from F-theory. To realize the decoupling scenario, we introduce sets of vector-like particles in complete SU(5) X U(1) multiplets at the TeV scale, or at the intermediate scale, or at the TeV scale and high scale. To avoid the Landau pole problem for the gauge couplings, we can only introduce five sets of vector-like particles around the TeV scale. These vector-like particles can couple to the Standard Model singlet fields, and obtain suitable masses by Higgs mechanism. We study gauge coupling unification in detail. We show that the U(1)_X flux contributions to the gauge couplings preserve the SU(5) X U(1)_X gauge coupling unification. We calculate the SU(3)_C X SU(2)_L unification scales, and the SU(5) X U(1)_X unification scales and unified couplings. In most of our models, the high-scale or bulk vector-like particles can be considered as string-scale threshold corrections since their masses are close to the string scale. Futhermore, we discuss the phenomenological consequences of our models. In particular, in the models with TeV-scale vector-like particles, the vector-like particles can be observed at the Large Hadron collider, the proton decay is within the reach of the future Hyper-Kamiokande experiment, the lightest CP-even Higgs boson mass can be increased, the hybrid inflation can be naturally realized, and the correct cosmic primodial density fluctuations can be generated.

Walk or Travel? Student's choices in Attending the Sandy Bay Campus of UTas
Creators: name: Yu, N
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Historically, universities have provided higher education to generally elite‚ÄövÑvp students from high income, highly educated families. Typically, students left home to live on campus to engage fully in university activities, educationally, socially and culturally. This traditional style of university education is still the case in many developing countries, including my home country of China. In recent decades, the expansion of university education to encourage a broader cross-section of society to receive higher education has seen an increase in non-traditional‚ÄövÑvp students. The term non-traditional‚ÄövÑvp applies to a mix of various backgrounds including greater proportions of female students, students from ethnic minorities, mature aged students, students working full- or part-time, and students from families whose parents themselves had little experience of university education. In Australia the expansion of the university student population following the Martin Report in the 1970s and the creation of a number of suburban universities under the auspices of the Australian Universities Commission led to a vast increase in enrolments from non-traditional students including, in more recent years, the inclusion of students from interstate and overseas. The University of Tasmania (UTAS) is the only University in Tasmania and has several campuses, in Hobart, Launceston and Burnie. Students attending the Sandy Bay campus of UTAS include those who leave home to seek ii accommodation either on campus or in rented accommodation near to the university (including those from beyond the Hobart urban area as well as interstate students and international students like myself) and students, mainly from the Hobart urban area, electing to live at home with their parents or partner. This purpose of this study is to investigate the travel behaviour of students attending the Sandy Bay campus and to examine the factors influencing their choice of travel mode. Research was undertaken using both a questionnaire approach and an invitation to students to participate in the completion of travel diaries. By describing the travel behaviour of students and identifying the key factors influencing their choice of travel mode, it is hoped that the research can inform the outcomes of the UTAS Master Plan 2007.

description: The properties of low-density neutron matter are important for the understanding of neutron star crusts and the exterior of large neutron-rich nuclei. We examine various properties of dilute neutron matter using quantum Monte Carlo methods, with s- and p-wave terms in the interaction. Our results provide a smooth evolution of the equation of state and pairing gap from extremely small densities, where analytic expressions are available, up to the strongly interacting regime probed experimentally and described theoretically in cold atomic systems, where the Fermi momentum is approximately half an inverse fermi and the pairing gap becomes of the order of magnitude of the Fermi energy. We also present results for the momentum distribution and pair distributions, displaying the same evolution from weak to strong coupling. Combined with previous quantum Monte Carlo and other calculations at moderate densities, these results provide strong constraints on the neutron matter equation of state up to saturation densities.

Reading Matters: An Examination of Plurality of Meaning in Selected Indonesian Fiction, 1980-1995
Creators: name: Allen, Pamela
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Using the work of theorists in the field of reader-response theory, this thesis examines the notion that the meaning of a given literary work is a product of the interaction between the reader and the text, and that a given work thus potentially contains a plurality of valid meanings. The theory is applied to selected works of three of Indonesia's most prolific writers in the period 1980-1995: Pramoedya Ananta Toer, Y.B. Mangunwijaya and Putu Wijaya. Each work is subjected to at least two different 'readings' which in each case privilege different features of the text and in effect produce a different literary work.

description: The question whether liquid atomization (or pulverization) resorts to instability dynamics (through refinements of Rayleigh-Plateau, Rayleigh-Taylor or Kelvin-Helmholtz mechanism) or to turbulent cascades similar to Richardson and Kolmogorov first ideas seems to be still open. In this paper, we report experimental evidences that both mechanisms are needed to explain the spray drop PDF obtained from an industrial nozzle. Instability of Rayleigh-Taylor kind governs the size of the largest droplets while the smallest ones obey a PDF given by a turbulent cascading mechanism resulting in a log-Lévy stable law of stability parameter close to 1.68. This value, very close to the inverse of the Flory exponent, can be related to a recent model for intermittency modeling stemming from self-avoiding random vortex stretching.

Field dependence and a neopiagetian model of information-process capacity
Creators: name: Eccles, Elsie Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of field dependence and age on the information-processing abilities of children of ages 5, 7, 9 and 11. A third purpose was to test a Ncopiagetien model of developmental task circumstances different to those under which it was initially tasted. Each age group was divided into a field dependent (FD) and field independent (FI) group on the basis of the Children's Embedded Figures Test. They were then administered a test which constituted a Finite Equal Differences task as described by Pascual-Leone (1967). Training consisted of teaching each age group a specific number of separate schemes. That is, one simple stimulus was associated with one simple response. Each schema then constituted a separate piece of information. The testing session was designed to determine how many separate schemas the children could integrate at one time, that is, to determine the information-processing capacity of the groups. Simple stimuli consisted of dimensions such as shape and colour. Testing stimuli were multidimensional combinations of these. Stimuli were projected on a screen. Response mode was pushing buttons on a panel. Each simple stimulus was associated with a specific button. The results supported the predicted superiority of performance of Fl Ss over FD Ss for each age group. Fl Ss were able to coordinate more separate schemas than FD Ss. The analysis of variance approached significance at the .05 level for the main effect of field dependence-independence: the mathematical expectation was higher for the Fl group at each age level: and the Fl variance was greater at each age level. The predicted superiority of performance with increasing age was also confirmed. The analysis of variance was significant at the .005 level for the main effect of age; mathematical expectations increased with age for both Fl and FD groups; and variance increased with age for both the Fl and FD groups. The analysis of variance showed no interaction effect. The performance of the groups in this study in general did not match the performances predicted by the model, nor the empirical results of Pascual-Leone (1967). Reasons for this were discussed in terms of the different effects of the mode of stimulus presentation on attentional factors; differences in response discriminability; and the effect of task activity requirements on the arousal level of the subjects.
Bringing the dingo home : discursive representations of the dingo by Aboriginal, colonial and contemporary Australians

description: My thesis examines the discourse which has encoded the dingo since it arrived in Australia nearly five thousand years ago. While post-colonial theory has exposed the ideological structures and material practices which position indigenous peoples as \other\" to the colonisers most scholars have remained curiously silent when it comes to nonhumans. Animals now stand as the ultimate \"other\" denied a subjective life of their own for their behaviour is usually read as Helen Tiffin argues \"as having primary (and exclusive) significance for humans.\" The project of this thesis is to examine the narratives within which Australians have \"trapped\" their dingoes. My methodology takes as its starting point Foucault's theories which connect discourse and power. The thesis is divided into three sections; Colonial Discourses Aboriginal Dreaming and Contemporary Configurations. The colonial section asks how discourse forces the dingo to represent human fears and failings. I argue that a denigrating discourse is used to justify the ill treatment of the dingo that discourse reveals little about the \"real\" dingo and that there are similarities in the discursive treatment of dingoes and Aborigines. The thesis also acknowledges the dingo's attempts to slip through the gaps in the discourse \"fence\". The second section researches traditional Aboriginal myths of the Dreaming Dingo. By encouraging the dingo to trot back to happier times I allow the reader to step back also and assess Aboriginal representations of the dingo arguing that these are based on an empirical knowledge of its habits and nature. I contend that in contrast to a colonial discourse based on difference the Aboriginal narratives assume similarities to animals and the potential for crossovers. This section argues that a pragmatic Dreaming Dingo teaches humans to live harmoniously and cautiously in an environment which is both nurturing and dangerous. Finally the dingo returns to the trail and trots into a place where practical knowledge of wilderness is negligible. The contemporary section of this thesis argues that in their longing to claim the dingo and its wildness for their emotional and spiritual needs urban Australians generate a confused incompatible and ignorant mix of colonial and Dreaming Discourse. The dingo in the National Park is required to carry an impossible discourse and it fails - biting the hands which feed it. \"Bringing the Dingo Home\" reflects an exciting time as one more \"other' breaks \"the deafening silence\" described by Wolch and Emel and demands a position in post-colonial discourse. At last the discourse of the dingo can be foregrounded and its misrepresentations can be redressed."

description: Three novel hydrazonic derivatives of dibenzo-18-crown-6 were synthesized and their vibrational and electronic absorption spectroscopic properties thoroughly investigated. Their lead binding behaviors were also characterized and the observations rationalized by density functional theoretical modeling. All three cis-dihydrazonic compounds are of low overall molecular symmetry with their ether cavity adopting an open configuration at the global energy minima where the hydrazonic side-arms are electronically and vibrationally nonequivalent. Their optical absorption features are dominated by π→π* transitions where one side of the molecule exhibits Lewis acid behavior whereas the other behaves like a Lewis base. In addition to their sensitivity to pH, all three derivatives form stable 2:1 metal-ligand complexes with lead, due to coordination at the ether cavity, in addition to the hydrazone “backbone” and possibly the heterocyclic ring. The most stable lead complex is formed with the thiophene carboxylic acid hydrazide derivative due to favorable soft-soft interactions between lead and the ring-based sulfur atom.

Residual empirical processes for long and short memory time series

description: This paper studies the residual empirical process of long- and short-memory time series regression models and establishes its uniform expansion under a general framework. The results are applied to the stochastic regression models and unstable autoregressive models. For the long-memory noise, it is shown that the limit distribution of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test statistic studied in Ho and Hsing [Ann. Statist. 24 (1996) 992-1024] does not hold when the stochastic regression model includes an unknown intercept or when the characteristic polynomial of the unstable autoregressive model has a unit root. To this end, two new statistics are proposed to test for the distribution of the long-memory noises of stochastic regression models and unstable autoregressive models. (With Correction.)
