description: Forecasts of changes in income distribution that rely entirely on modelling changes in the personal characteristics of individuals, as is typically the case in microsimulation studies, have a limited capacity to take into account developments that affect individuals only indirectly through the operation of markets. Most individuals receive most of their income in the form of factor payments (i.e., wages and profits). Hence a distributional forecast will be improved if it is ipformed by a well constructed forecast of changes in factor markets and their associated commodity markets. This paper is primarily concerned with the development of techniques for applying an existing set of detailed economic forecasts for the Australian economy to the question of distribution. The centrepiece of the forcasting system is a large dynamic applied general equilibrium model, the MONASH model. Via the markets incorporated in the MONASH model, a range of otherwise intractable information is brought to bear on a forecast of income changes over the period 1990-91 to 1996-97. The range includes detailed scenarios on macroeconomic developments in both the world and domestic economies, changes in the foreign demand for Australia's exports, changes in the world prices of all internationally traded goods, changes in protection, changes in indirect taxes and primary factor saving technical change. To generate the income forecasts, projections of changes in factor prices and factor employment levels from the MONASH model are interfaced with micro data from the 1990 Australian income suvey. The key to the interface is an allocation of the ownership of the relevant factors among the individuals identified in the survey. Results are reported for sixty income groups differentiated by region and size of income.

 Type species. – Ummidia aedification (WestWood, 1840), by original designation.
 Diagnosis. – This genus has been distinguished from Bothriocyrtum and Latouchia by a dorsal saddle-shaped depression of tibia III, and from Conothele by distinctly notched trochanters I and II.
 Remarks. – Less than 10 species have been recorded world wide (Gertsch & Mulaik, 1940), of which six from North America and El Salvador, one from Tadzhikistan and one from Japan. This genus is reported from Taiwan for the first time. In this study, the new species U. taiwanensis is described as follows.

description: We study the gate voltage dependence of the linear conductance through a quantum dot coupled to one-dimensional leads. For interacting dot electrons but noninteracting leads Kondo physics implies broad plateau-like resonances. In the opposite case Luttinger liquid behavior leads to sharp resonances. In the presence of Kondo as well as Luttinger liquid physics and for experimentally relevant parameters, we find a line shape that resembles the one of the Kondo case.

 Remarks. – Brignoli (1983) mentioned this species in his catalogue of spiders, and pointed to the fact that Kayashima (1943) has to be considered as author. Haupt & Shimojana (2001) redescribed it based on material from the surroundings of Taipei, as the type material is apparently lost. As Latouchia formosensis also occurs in the southern Ryukyu Islands, two different subspecies have been distinguished. In the following another subspecies from central Taiwan is described.

Demand and Price Analysis

description: At least since 1980 when Deaton and Muellbauer's famous Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) was published, the emphasis in applied demand analysis has been on a flexible specification of substitution effects. Recent theoretical work by Cooper and McLaren (1992a&b) and Cooper, McLaren and Parameswaran (1993) has put more emphasis on effectively globally regular systems which allow greater flexibility in the treatment of Engel effects. Current empirical work (e.g., Chatterjee and Ray, 1992) continues to use a relatively inflexible treatment of Engel effects. Following Lewbel's (1991) lead, in the present paper we attempt to evaluate the need for a more flexible treatment by examining Engel effects in the Australian Household Expenditure Survey for 1988-89 from an agnostic position in which the form of the Engel response is entirely data-determined. We do this using non-parametric procedures in the statistical package S-Plus. Contrary to common practice (and confirming Lewbel's empirical results for U.K. and U.S. data), we find evidence of non-monotonic responses of budget shares with increasing income. This argues in favour of more flexible forms for Engel curves such as those explored by Rimmer and Powell (1992a&b) (or more generally, in recent work by Cooper and McLaren). Using the same methodology, we also carry out a brief exploration of the influence of demographic effects on household Engel responses.

description: The mass occurrence of turritelline gastropod shells from the Lower Miocene of southern Germany allows for detailed studies of their palaeoecology, transport mechanisms, preservation potentials and the reconstruction of nutrient regimes. Changes in the fabric of the gastropod‐dominated beds are used to reconstruct a generally deepening environment corresponding to the Lower Miocene transgression within the Upper Molasse Sea of the North Alpine Foreland Basin. The sedimentary succession ranges from chaotically arranged, densely packed and near‐shore transported; wave‐influenced deposits showing bimodal shell orientations; more widely dispersed shells showing a uni‐directional orientation; and dispersed shells showing diverse orientations. The shells often show damage to the apex and aperture though it is not clear whether this is due to predation events, pagurisation or abrasion due to transport. An outstanding feature is the replacement of aragonite shells by calcite leading to internal vugs as well as modulating the outer shell surface morphology. The high density of turritelline gastropods indicates a nutrient‐rich palaeoenvironment at the northern edge of the Molasse Sea.

A simple multi-player video game framework for experimenting and teaching cultural understanding

description: We have created a game called Culture Code that allows researchers and teachers to host online games where teams have asynchronous abilities. Inspired by the game Barnga [11], which is designed to “explore factors related to communication problems in intercultural situations”, our game, Culture Code, takes Barnga’s basic mechanics and extends them. In Barnga, some players enter a game where they do not know the game rules resulting in a disadvantage compared to others who already know the rules. This mechanic is meant to simulate the disadvantages of someone entering a culture where the rules aren’t explained. We extend this idea into out frame-work in which players are divided into teams, and each team’s capabilities can be uniquely defined. This framework can be used to create a wide variety of scenarios to facilitate experiments and teaching

description: By means of high resolution neutron powder diffraction at low temperature we have characterized the structural details of $\rm La_{x}Sr_{2-x}FeMoO_6$ ($0\leq {\rm x}\leq 0.5$) and $\rm Ca_{x}Sr_{2-x}FeMoO_6$ ($0\leq {\rm x}\leq 0.6$) series of compounds. This study reveals a similar variation of the mean bond-angle \FeOMo in both series. In contrast, the mean bond-distance \FeMoO\ increases with La but not with Ca substitution. Both series also present a different evolution of the Curie temperature ($T_C$), which raises in the La series and slightly decreases in the Ca one. We thus conclude that the enhancement of $T_C$ in the La series is due to the electron filling of the conduction band and a concomitant rising of the density of states at the Fermi level.

description: We present our results from a mid-infrared interferometric survey targeted at the planet-forming region in the circumstellar disks around low- and intermediate-mass young stars. Our sample consist of 82 objects, including T Tauri stars, Herbig Ae stars, and young eruptive stars. Our main results are: 1) Disks around T Tauri stars are similar to those around Herbig Ae stars, but are relatively more extended once we account for stellar luminosity. 2) From the distribution of the sizes of the mid-infrared emitting region we find that inner dusty disk holes may be present in roughly half of the sample. 3) Our analysis of the silicate spectral feature reveals that the dust in the inner $\sim$1 au region of disks is generally more processed than that in the outer regions. 4) The dust in the disks of T Tauri stars typically show weaker silicate emission in the N band spectrum, compared to Herbig Ae stars, which may indicate a general difference in the disk structure.

title: Global energy minimisation of arterial trees with application to embolic stroke
Creators: name: Keelan, Jonathan Joseph
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2016

description: Computer generation of optimal arterial trees has previously been limited to the production of locally optimal configurations. The application of a global optimisation algorithm allows for the generation of vasculatures with consistent structure. Comparison of this structure to that of in-vivo vasculatures allows the determination of to what extent the vascular structure is the result of energy minimisation. In this thesis an algorithm capable of generation globally optimal vascular trees in geometries derived from medical imaging is developed.

We begin by outlining a small set of constraints which capture physiological principles guiding the organisation of arterial trees. The constraints are then used to produce an algorithm capable of finding the minimal energy configuration of a given arterial tree. The algorithm is used to produce both coronary and cerebral vasculature, and the latter is generated in geometries segmented from MRI data of a human brain. The trees are compared both morphologically and structurally to those found in-vivo. The morphological comparisons for the coronary vasculature show excellent agreement with experiment. The positions of the larger coronary arteries in the generated trees agree extremely well with experiment, suggesting that structure of the coronary vasculature is the result of energy minimisation.

The generated cerebral vasculature approximates the vascular territories of the major cerebral arteries, however the morphological comparisons show that the structure of the cerebral arteries is likely not the result of energy minimisation. The cerebral vasculatures is used to extend a statistical model of embolic stroke to include the effects of branching asymmetry, and an analytic approximation to the statistical model of embolic stroke is developed and validated. It is found that branching asymmetry produces an overall reduction in the level of blockage occuring during an embolic event.
Clearing house, margin requirements, and systemic risk

description: Margins are the major safeguards against default risk on a derivatives exchange. When the clearing house sets the margin requirement for a particular clearing firm, it does so by only focusing on that particular clearing firm’s positions (e.g. the SPAN system). We depart from this traditional approach and show how to account for interdepencies across clearing members when setting margins. Our method generalizes the SPAN system by allowing individual margins to increase when clearing firms are more likely to be in financial distress simultaneously.

description: Using in-situ angle dispersive x-ray diffraction, we have shown that barium tungstate, which exists in scheelite phase at ambient conditions, transforms to a new phase about seven giga pascal. Analysis of our data based on Le bail refinement suggests that this phase could be fergusonite and not mercuric molybdate type, which was proposed earlier from the Raman investigations. Beyond fourteen giga pascal this compound undergoes another phase transformation to a significantly disordered structure. Both the phase transitions are found to be reversible.

title: Negotiating formalities: Everyday rule in Berlin's allotment gardens
Creators: name: Hilbrandt, Hanna
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2015

description: Negotiating Formalities explores informal dwelling practices and their regulation in Berlin. In the literature on urban informality these themes are predominantly researched in Southern cities and have long been related to a lack of state capacity. As this assumption fails to account for the ways in which legal orders, administrative hierarchies or bureaucratic practices produce, enable or constrain informality, it impedes an analysis of the phenomenon in regulatory regimes that are presumed to rely on functioning bureaucracies. This thesis links literature on informality to an ethnographic understanding of states, to address this gap and think more precisely about the ways in which institutional and civil actors shape and contest order in everyday governance. This is what I call negotiating formalities.

This conception is based on an empirical study of the governance of informal dwelling prac- tices in Berlin's allotment gardens. Although a federal law prohibits the inhabiting of these sites, gardeners take up residence within allotment compounds, particularly over the summer. My analysis of this case challenges three assumptions about urban governance. First, Negotiating Formalities argues that order is carefully arranged between institutional and civil actors, rather than implemented from the top down. Second, it contends that formality cannot only be understood by reference to institutional imperatives, but needs to be related to the processes through which these actors shape, interpret or ignore regulations by enacting them on site. Third, this thesis asserts that the boundaries of transgressions are not only defined through written statutes or the rules of the state, but depend on the everyday engagement of all concerned. In sum, these contentions suggest that formality is the contested product of enduring negotiations. This conclusion not only challenges imaginaries of the state and informality but also bridges presumed divides between the functioning of states in the global North and South.

description: The coincident rise in crude oil prices and increased number of financial participants in the crude oil futures market from 2000–2008 has led to allegations that “speculators” drive crude oil prices. As crude oil futures peaked at $147/ bbl in July 2008, the role of speculators came under heated debate. In this paper, we employ unique data from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to test the relation between crude oil prices and the trading positions of various types of traders in the crude oil futures market. We employ Granger Causality tests to analyze lead and lag relations between price and position data at daily and multiple day intervals. We find little evidence that hedge funds and other non-commercial (speculator) position changes Granger-cause price changes; the results instead suggest that price changes precede their position changes.

description: We developed a wideband quasi-optical band-pass filter covering 170-520 GHz by exploiting the recent advancements in commercially available flexible printed circuit (FPC) fabrication technologies. We designed and fabricated a three-layered stack of loaded hexagonal grid metal meshes using a copper pattern with a narrowest linewidth of $50~μ\mathrm{m}$ on a polyimide substrate. The measured frequency pass-band shape was successfully reproduced through a numerical simulation using a set of parameters consistent with the dimensions of the fabricated metal meshes. FPC-based metal mesh filters will provide a new pathway toward the on-demand development of millimeter/submillimeter-wave quasi-optical filters at low cost and with a short turnaround time.

description: The finite q-oscillator is a model that obeys the dynamics of the harmonic oscillator, with the operators of position, momentum and Hamiltonian being functions of elements of the q-algebra su_q(2). The spectrum of position in this discrete system, in a fixed representation j, consists of 2j+1 "sensor"-points x_s=(1/2)[2s]_q, s=-j, -j+1,..., j, and similarly for the momentum observable. The spectrum of energies is finite and equally spaced, so the system supports coherent states. The wave functions involve dual q-Kravchuk polynomials, which are solutions to a finite-difference Schrodinger equation. Time evolution (times a phase) defines the fractional Fourier-q-Kravchuk transform. In the classical limit q -> 1 we recover the finite oscillator Lie algebra, the N=2j -> infinity limit returns the Macfarlane-Biedenharn q-oscillator and both limits contract the generators to the standard quantum-mechanical oscillator.

description: We study the influence of a thermal environment on a non-adiabatic spin-flip driving protocol of spin-orbit qubits. The driving protocol operates by moving the qubit, trapped in a harmonic potential, along a nanowire in the presence of a time-dependent spin-orbit interaction. We consider the harmonic degrees of freedom to be weakly coupled to a thermal bath. We find an analytical expression for the Floquet states and derive the Lindblad equation for a strongly non-adiabatically driven qubit. The Lindblad equation corrects the dynamics of an isolated qubit with Lamb shift terms and a dissipative behaviour. Using the Lindblad equation, the influence of a thermal environment on the spin-flip protocol is analysed.

description: We explore whether central bank intervention improves liquidity in the interbank market during the current sub-prime crisis with unique trade and quote data from the e-MID, the only regulated electronic interbank market in the world. Central bank intervention consistently creates greater uncertainty in the interbank market. Prior to the crisis, the cover-to-bid ratio effectively conveys good and bad news from the central bank, but this link is broken during the crisis, suggesting that standard (and special) interventions that do not specifically target interbank asymmetric information fail to improve market liquidity. Our results suggest that the central bank should focus on providing interbank loan guarantees or engage in direct asset purchases rather than simply injecting capital into the system when counterparty risk poses systemic risk to the interbank market.

The structures were elucidated through the analysis of IR, NMR and HRESIMS spectrographic data. Compound 1 exhibited cytotoxicity against HeLa, HT29, MCF-7 and PC-3 cells, but was not toxic against normal Vero cells. The most abundant metabolite, oosporein (5), exhibited significant cytotoxic effects against all tested cancer cells.

title: Children's meaning making in classroom role-play at 4-5 years: a systemic functional linguistic investigation
Creators: name: Mukherjee, Sarah Jane
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2016

description: This thesis explores meaning-making in children's peer-led classroom role-play and considers its contribution to learning during the first year of school. The aims of the research are to understand, firstly, how children of 4-5 years through their lexicogrammatical choices enact social roles and construe role-play scenarios that are reminiscent of real life, and secondly, what opportunities in these peer-led collaborative dialogues there may be for learning language, learning through language and learning about language. The methodological and analytical approach draws on Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) and the Vygotskian construct of the zone of proximal development (ZPD). I focus on linguistic and other semiotic data collected from children's interactions in fifteen video- recorded small group classroom role-plays, and ten audio recorded teacher role-play introductions with the whole class. Classroom role-play is reconceptualised theoretically as a genre (as defined within SFL) enabling a deeper understanding of children's meaning-making in this context. The findings show that the construal of the social scenario is based on the children's dialogic interaction and ability to eo-create individual genre stages. Offering insights into these stages, I show evidence of the children's sophisticated and creative linguistic and other semiotic choices. Through an interactional analytic framework, I consider how the children are able to extend their ZPD in six learning areas that have been linked to longer term social and academic learning. Findings show that the teacher introductions prime the children's learning which is then consolidated further in serendipitous opportunities forged by the particular nature of the child-led extended dialogic interaction of classroom role-play. My study emphasises and reinforces the value of considering classroom role-play as a unique pedagogic resource for extending children's meaning-making and learning in their first year at school. As a result, the outcomes of this research have implications for future educational practice in this area.

description: The congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) are a group of rare genetic diseases affecting the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). These syndromes affect signal transmission and result in fatigable muscle weakness. In this study we performed exome analysis of 2 CMS patient cohorts and identified SYT11, a synaptotagmin inhibitor of clathrin mediated endocytosis (CME), and MGAT5B, a glycosylation protein, as potential novel CMS genes using bioinformatic analysis on the RD-Connect Genome Phenome Analysis Platform (GPAP). To validate them, we utilized morpholino knockdown models of zebrafish orthologues syt11a, syt11b, and mgat5b and conducted functional assays measuring chorion activity and escape response. Our results show that co-knockdown of syt11a/b or syt11b alone (and not mgat5b) results in a substantial neuromuscular deficit, with ablation of chorion activity and severely reduced escape response. Immunofluorescent studies showed both motor neuron growth and NMJ formation was inhibited by syt11a/b knockdown. In conclusion, syt11b causes a severe neuromuscular phenotype in zebrafish which supports SYT11 as a novel CMS-causing gene.

Ferromagnetism and Superconductivity in the multi-orbital Hubbard Model: Hund's Rule Coupling versus Crystal-Field Splitting

description: The multi-orbital Hubbard model in one dimension is studied using the numerical diagonalization method. Due to the effect of the crystal-field splitting $Δ$, the fully polarized ferromagnetism which is observed in the strong coupling regime becomes unstable against the partially polarized ferromagnetism when the Hund's rule coupling $J$ is smaller than a certain critical value of order of $Δ$. In the vicinity of the partially polarized ferromagnetism, the orbital fluctuation develops due to the competition between the Hund's rule coupling and the crystal-field splitting. The superconducting phase with the Luttinger liquid parameter $K_ρ>1$ is observed for the singlet ground state in this region.

description: Abundances of lithium, carbon, and oxygen have been derived using spectral synthesis for a sample of 249 bright F, G, and K Northern Hemisphere dwarf stars from the high-resolution spectra acquired with the VUES spectrograph at the Moletai Astronomical Observatory of Vilnius University. The sample stars have metallicities, effective temperatures, and ages between -0.7 and 0.4 dex; 5000 and 6900 K; 1 and 12 Gyr, accordingly. We confirm a so far unexplained lithium abundance decrease at supersolar metallicities - $A$(Li) in our sample stars, which drop by 0.7 dex in the [Fe/H] range from +0.10 to +0.55 dex. Furthermore, we identified stars with similar ages, atmospheric parameters, and rotational velocities, but with significantly different lithium abundances, which suggests that additional specific evolutionary factors should be taken into account while interpreting the stellar lithium content. Nine stars with predominantly supersolar metallicities, i.e. about 12 % among 78 stars with C and O abundances determined, have the C/O number ratios larger than 0.65, thus may form carbon-rich rocky planets. Ten planet-hosting stars, available in our sample, do not show a discernible difference from the stars with no planets detected regarding their lithium content.

title: The influence of technology-enhanced task design on the development of language learner autonomy and motivation in an Anatolian high school: a case study
Creators: name: Koruyan, Kasim
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2016

description: This study explores the ways in which the introduction of technology-enhanced task design may affect the motivation of students to read in English and encourage more autonomous approaches to reading in English in an Anatolian High School. The subjects investigated were Grade 9 students whose level of English was between A2 and B 1 according to the criteria set out in the Common European Framework of Reference for Language Learning. Seventy participants engaged with specifically designed reading tasks. This case study draws on several theoretical frameworks: Deci and Ryan's self-determination theory (1985), Gardner's socio-educational model with regard to motivation (1985), imd notions of learner autonomy (Kohonen, 1992; Little, 1991; Ho1ec, 1981). Furthermore, the approach to designing the reading tasks was informed by Hampel's comprehensive expansion (2006) of Chapelle's theoretical framework (2000). Data collection and processing followed an exploratory case study approach applying mixed-method design using questionnaires (N = 70) given before and after use of specially designed, technology-enhanced tasks, pre-task interviews (N = 2), post-task interviews (N = 6), class blog discussions, and a researcher journal. Quantitative data were summarised and reported as average percentages. The differences in median scores for pre- and post- introduction of technology enhanced tasks were statistically tested using a Mann-Whitney U test. Thematic analysis was used in order to identify, analyse and report themes in qualitative data collected for this study. The qualitative data were transcribed and then imported into the qualitative data analysis software package NVivo 10, which allowed for the data from the transcripts to be coded to the main themes and sub-themes. Analysis of the results indicates that despite the prevailing traditional behaviourist approach to teaching, these particular Turkish Anatolian High School students were able and willing to exercise control over the learning of English, and that their intrinsic motivation to engage in reading tasks was increased through technology-enhanced, task-based language learning. This study contributes to the knowledge and understanding of learners ' motivation and autonomy when technology enhanced language learning tasks are introduced into a traditional learning context.
