Determinants of adverse pregnancy outcomes : a case study in selected rural areas of West Java, Indonesia
Creators: name: Hartono, Djoko
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Newborn infants MortalityIndonesia
subject: Stillbirth Indonesia
subject: Indonesia Social conditions

description: The study addresses the determinants of adverse pregnancy outcomes, especially neonatal deaths and stillbirths, in developing countries. The study is conducted in the Indramayu Regency of West Java Province, Indonesia. A wide range of quantitative and qualitative methods was employed to study this important public health issue. Using community-based longitudinal data derived from the Indramayu Health and Family Planning Prospective Study and the MotherCare Study (1990 to 1993), a series of bivariate and multivariate analyses was conducted. It was found that the level of neonatal deaths and stillbirths in the study area was higher than the national average. Socio-demographic as well as bio-medical factors were significantly related to the high level of neonatal deaths and stillbirths. While school attendance had the direct effect of reducing the risk of stillbirth, teenage pregnancy increased the risk of neonatal death through the indirect effects of short pregnancy intervals and low birth weight. Neither the maternal nutritional depletion theory, nor the excess of preterm deliveries in the short pregnancy interval group explained the mechanism through which a short pregnancy interval increased the risk of neonatal death. It is likely that an intrafamilial mortality effect was the causal mechanism. The findings suggest that efforts to alleviate the level of neonatal deaths and stillbirths should not only focus on medical initiatives but also on specific social interventions. Although extensive public health campaigns and the provision of adequate maternal and child health care are necessary, they alone are not sufficient. Social interventions designed to promote late marriage and delay of first birth through improving women's education are required to enhance medical efforts to reduce the high level of neonatal deaths and stillbirths in the study area or areas with similar conditions.

'And the villain still pursued her'. Origins of film in Australia; 1896 - 1913.
Creators: name: Cooper, Ross Francis
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1971

description: Excerpt from Introduction: This thesis sets out to answer the question; how did Film develop in Australia before World War One? Film came to Australia in a magician's bag of tricks; it stayed to become big business, and in the process it transformed the life of Australians. From magician's art to industrial organization is thus the scope of this history and it encompasses the dilemma facing any film historian; for film has the dual characteristics of being at the same time an art form and an industry. It is the main thesis of this study that already before World War One, Australia had experienced nearly all the functions of twentieth century Film as an art form, and that the small-scale industry that emerged by 1913 owed its peculiarities to the first two decades of Film's existence in Australia. The origins of Film in Australia are dealt with in Chapter One. This chapter also describes the impact this novel form of entertainment made on Australian audiences and how it immediately captured their imagination. I have found that foreigners and not Australians played the leading roles in the early development of Film in this country. The first films were English brought to Australia by an American magician. A Frenchman made the first film of The Melbourne Cup (1896), and two Englishmen developed Australian religious propaganda films by 1900. It was also foreigners like T.J. west, Cozens Spencer and J. D. Williams who built the first permanent cinemas and established the economic base of the industry. Nevertheless, it will be argued in later chapters that despite this early dominance of the local industry by foreigners, and of Australian screens by foreign films, within two decades, Australians had taken over the local industry and some films were beginning to express a peculiarly Australian idiom.

description: To help the blind people walk to the destination efficiently and safely in indoor environment, a novel wearable navigation device is presented in this paper. The locating, way-finding, route following and obstacle avoiding modules are the essential components in a navigation system, while it remains a challenging task to consider obstacle avoiding during route following, as the indoor environment is complex, changeable and possibly with dynamic objects. To address this issue, we propose a novel scheme which utilizes a dynamic sub-goal selecting strategy to guide the users to the destination and help them bypass obstacles at the same time. This scheme serves as the key component of a complete navigation system deployed on a pair of wearable optical see-through glasses for the ease of use of blind people's daily walks. The proposed navigation device has been tested on a collection of individuals and proved to be effective on indoor navigation tasks. The sensors embedded are of low cost, small volume and easy integration, making it possible for the glasses to be widely used as a wearable consumer device.

A comparative study of Melanesian hafted edge-tools and other percussive cutting implements
Creators: name: Crosby, Eleanor Beatrice Vane
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1973
Subjects: subject: Tools
subject: Melanesians Implements

description: This thesis is an attempt to examine the contributions which factors such as style, use, materials and manufacturing methods make to artefact variance. The study is set in an ethnographic frame where some of these factors may be controlled by circumstances of collection and other ethnographic testimony, and the data are examined comparatively in a Melanesia-wide frame. The material used is held in Australian, New Zealand and Papua New Guinean collections, or is reported in the ethnographic literature. All material comes from Melanesia, a division of Oceania defined in map 1. The study is based upon complete implements belonging to a mechanically defined artefact class percussive cutting implements. All these are used with a chopping motion and effect the intended cutting action by a percussive blow. The term is taken from Leroi Gourhan (1945:187-95). The mechanical definition of the class extends over a wide range of implements hafted as axes, adzes or at intermediate positions and used for many different tasks in woodworking, domestic and agricultural contexts. A variety of nonutilitarian roles is also recorded. This information has previously been surveyed by Hinderling (1949) but it has not before been collated or analysed in a quantitative sense. Appendix I is a compendium of the information available to me. Part II (Chapters 3-23) summarises the details of Appendix I on an area basis. Each chapter includes other ethnographic and environmental data, allowing preliminary generalisations to be made. Part I documents recording, descriptive and grouping procedures. The artefacts have been measured according to a standardised procedure which is partly based upon existing techniques, but innovative where measurements of whole implements are employed. A population method of classification was employed, and this, through the choice of grouping criteria (collection data), allowed the evaluation of various contributions to artefact variability, which are tested in Part III. Four comparative analyses were undertaken, one (Statistics, Chapter 24) generated from internal sources, two (Function and Technology, Chapters 25 and 26) from broad cultural sources, and one based on local cultural and environmental contexts which gives possible regional units (Chapter 27). Parts II and III contain a large amount of information pertinent to local prehistories and to the culture history of Melanesia as a whole. The concluding chapter summarises the results of the various analyses and examines the geographic distributions which result for their concomitance with other cultural and environmental distributions.

 SYNTYPES: AMNH 519569, female, and AMNH 519570, adult male, collected at Huamachuco, 10,400 ft, 07.48S, 78.04W (Stephens and Traylor, 1983), La Libertad, Peru, in February 1894; AMNH 519572, adult male, collected at Cajabamba, 11,000 ft, 07.37S, 78.03W (Stephens and Traylor, 1983), Cajamarca, Peru, on 2 April 1894, all by O.T. Baron.
 COMMENTS: In his report on Baron’s 1894 expedition to Peru, Salvin (1895) did not designate types but noted (Salvin, 1895: 1) that the collection was partly in the Rothschild Collection (now in AMNH) and partly in the Salvin and Godman Collection (now in BMNH). Of rufigenis, there are four syntypes in BMNH (Warren and Harrison, 1971: 478) in addition to the three in AMNH. While all three AMNH specimens are syntypes, AMNH 519569 and 519572 were marked ‘‘Co-type’’ by Salvin, even though they were not listed by Hartert in any of his lists of types in the Rothschild Collection and did not bear Rothschild type labels. Dickinson (2003: 801) has accorded full species status to both A. r. rufigenis and A. r. forbesi.

Das kroch aus einem grossen Haufen trockener Flaumeichen-Blätter heraus, der in einer Erosionrinne zusammengeschwemmt und von unzähligen Waldschaben verschiedenster Entwicklungsstadien besiedelt war. Ein Teil der hielt sich ebenfalls auf diesem Blätterhaufen auf. Einige von ihnen flogen von dort Farnwedel oberhalb der Rinne an, auf denen zu diesem Zeitpunkt jedoch keine grünen Blattwespen-Raupen sassen, wie man sie auf der Peloponnes sonst allenthalben auf Farnwedeln findet. Die übrigen liefen bzw. flogen in der Nähe der Erosionsrinne auf dem fast vegationsfreien Waldboden herum.

description: Dynamical systems are often subject to forcing or changes in their governing parameters and it is of interest to study how this affects their statistical properties. A prominent real-life example of this class of problems is the investigation of climate response to perturbations. In this respect, it is crucial to determine what the linear response of a system is to small perturbations as a quantification of sensitivity. Alongside previous work, here we use the transfer operator formalism to study the response and sensitivity of a dynamical system undergoing perturbations. By projecting the transfer operator onto a suitable finite dimensional vector space, one is able to obtain matrix representations which determine finite Markov processes. Further, using perturbation theory for Markov matrices, it is possible to determine the linear and nonlinear response of the system given a prescribed forcing. Here, we suggest a methodology which puts the scope on the evolution law of densities (the Liouville/Fokker-Planck equation), allowing to effectively calculate the sensitivity and response of two representative dynamical systems.

The impact of war on New South Wales : some aspects of social and political history 1914-1917
Creators: name: Coward, Dan
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1974

description: This thesis is a study of aspects of social and political history during 1914 to 1917 which shaped political turbulence in New South Wales, the most populous state in Australia. The writer seeks to modify the accepted view that Australians unanimously and enthusiastically accepted their involvement in the Great War. The divisions of August 1914, blurred as they were by the excitement of the time, were to become clearer during the following years. Anxieties generated by the war, in particular beliefs in the prevalence of 'profiteers', 'shirkers' and venereal diseases, affected the labour, pro-conscription and temperance movements respectively. Agitation by these three groups, which politically implicated the English-born Labor Premier W.A. Holman, generated undercurrents which helped to defeat the proposal to reinforce the Australian Imperial Force with conscripted men. Divergent class experiences arising from the pressures of war shaped attitudes to the first conscription referendum in October 1916. Emotions inflamed by that conflict were exacerbated by the formation of Holman's Nationalist party and by the eruption of the great strike in August 1917. Conflicts of 'loyalty' divided people at the time: these were to shape conflicting ideas about the Australian nation.

description: The temperature dependence of a system exhibiting a `metal-insulator transition in two dimensions at zero magnetic field' (MIT) is studied up to 90K. Using a classical scattering model we are able to simulate the non-monotonic temperature dependence of the resistivity in the metallic high density regime. We show that the temperature dependence arises from a complex interplay of metallic and insulating contributions contained in the calculation of the scattering rate $1/\td(E,T)$, each dominating in a limited temperature range.

description: Single-crystals of Cr and Cr3%Mn doped with ca. 0.2 at.% 119Sn were studied by means of 119Sn-site Mössbauer spectroscopy. Mössbauer spectra recorded in the temperature range of 78-300 K were analyzed using a hyperfine field distribution method. Derived therefrom values of a center shift, CS, analyzed in terms of the Debye model yielded values of the Debye temperature, T_D = 477(56)K for Cr and T_D=282(16)K for Cr3%Mn. The difference in the T_D-value can be regarded as evidence that a spin-phonon interaction is different for the incommensurate and commensurate antiferromagnetic structure of chromium.

In the absence of disorder the system forms Wigner crystal, stripe, and clump phases as the attractive interaction is increased. With quenched disorder, these phases are fragmented and there is a finite depinning threshold. The stripe phase is the most strongly pinned and shows hysteretic transport properties. At higher drives beyond depinning, a dynamical reordering transition occurs in all the phases, which is associated with a characteristic transport signature.

description: We present a scheme to perform universal quantum computation using global addressing techniques as applied to a physical system of endohedrally doped fullerenes. The system consists of an ABAB linear array of Group V endohedrally doped fullerenes. Each molecule spin site consists of a nuclear spin coupled via a Hyperfine interaction to an electron spin. The electron spin of each molecule is in a quartet ground state $S=3/2$. Neighboring molecular electron spins are coupled via a magnetic dipole interaction. We find that an all-electron construction of a quantum cellular automata is frustrated due to the degeneracy of the electronic transitions. However, we can construct a quantum celluar automata quantum computing architecture using these molecules by encoding the quantum information on the nuclear spins while using the electron spins as a local bus. We deduce the NMR and ESR pulses required to execute the basic cellular automata operation and obtain a rough figure of merit for the the number of gate operations per decoherence time. We find that this figure of merit compares well with other physical quantum computer proposals. We argue that the proposed architecture meets well the first four DiVincenzo criteria and we outline various routes towards meeting the fifth criteria: qubit readout.

Soviet policy towards India and Pakistan, 1965-71
Creators: name: Clark, Ian
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1974

description: The thesis is a study of Soviet policy towards India and Pakistan from 1965-71. Its principal focus is to describe and to explain the changing balance in the Soviet approach towards these two countries. As a prelude to the main thrust of the thesis, an attempt is made to set out the context within which Soviet policy was to operate in 1965: the most important developments in the history of Soviet relations with India and Pakistan since the time of independence are analysed; the relevance of the broader Soviet approach towards the Third World is emphasised; and the adoption of a new Soviet policy towards Pakistan is described. The analysis of the diplomatic record begins with the eruption of hostilities between India and Pakistan in 1965, firstly over the Rann of Kutch and then over Kashmir. It is shown that the Soviet response to this subcontinental war marked a subtle departure from the previous Soviet attitude towards these two countries. The war, and the subsequent meeting at Tashkent, signified the emergence of a 'dualistic' Soviet policy in which efforts were made to maintain cordial relations with both subcontinental states simultaneously. In the course of the next few years, the logic of this dualistic policy was worked out in practice. The USSR, as a result of its hosting of the Tashkent Conference, was projected into the very midst of Indo- Pakistani relations. The cumulative strains which this imposed on Soviet policy surfaced conspicuously in 1969 when it became clear that the Soviet Government was less enthusiastic about persisting with its ostensibly 'even-handed' course. The implications of this reversal in Soviet strategy were to be demonstrated during the crisis which developed between India and Pakistan in 1971 as a result of the course of events in East Pakistan. Hence, the Soviet reaction to the Indo-Pakistan war in December of 1971 can be understood partially in terms of the ongoing course of its diplomacy on the subcontinent since 1965 and as a response to the burdens entailed by the Tashkent approach. It can, however, also be understood in terms of the contrasting international environments in which the two Indo-Pakistani wars of the period occurred. It is this second dimension of the question which the thesis explores in the form of a comparative analysis of the international contexts surrounding the wars of 1965 and 1971. The time period of the thesis is thereby justified because it not only concentrates on an interesting period of Soviet diplomacy but it also permits the execution of such a comparative analysis and thus provides us with a greater understanding of the nature of Soviet policy in the area.

Subjects: subject: Aboriginal Australians Food
subject: Shellfish
subject: Gidjingali tribe

description: This thesis is about the role of shellfish in the total diet of a group of coastal hunters and gatherers. The shell gathering activities of the Anbara, a group of Gidjingali-speaking Australian Aborigines living around the mouth of the Blyth River in Arnhem Land during 1972-3, is described in detailed quantitative terms. Reasons for choosing this topic are discussed in Chapter 1 where attention is drawn to the contrast between the abundance of shell midden deposits in the archaeological record and the paucity of shell gathering studies amongst contemporary hunters and gatherers. The Gidjingali are introduced in Chapters 2 and 3 in which an account of their culture, history and present situation is given, together with a description of the major features of their hunting life during 1972-3. Fieldwork conditions and methods are discussed in Chapter 4. Chapters 5 to 9 contain data about the shellfish gathering that occurred during 1972-3. Chapter 5 describes Gidjingali systems of classification that incorporate shellfish taxa; while Chapter 6 elucidates the major patterns of shellfish predation. A detailed ethnographic background for this quantitative data is provided in Chapter 7, where the collection, cooking and disposal of shellfish are described. The performances of individual gatherers are presented in Chapter 8 and the conclusions are compared with those from other similar studies. The contribution made by shellfish to the total Anbara diet is assessed in Chapter 9 and the diets of several other foraging groups are examined. Destruction of the open sea Blyth River shell beds, during the 1973-4 wet season is discussed in terms of the changing role of shellfish in Anbara diet. Evidence for dietary changes within the remembered past are presented; together with an introduction to the numerous prehistoric shell middens on Anbara territory which extend back in time to the days of the ’dreaming.

description: Atlapetes duidae Chapman
 Atlapetes duidae Chapman, 1929b: 26 (Cerros de Savanna, 4700 ft., tableland, Mt. Duida, Venezuela).
 Now Atlapetes personatus duidae Chapman, 1929. See Hellmayr, 1938: 410, Ridgely and Tudor, 1989: 432, Dickinson, 2003: 800.
 HOLOTYPE: AMNH 245936, adult male, collected on Savanna Hills (5 Cerros de Savanna), 4700 ft, ca. 03.25N, 65.38W (Paynter, 1982), Mt. Duida, Amazonas, Venezuela, on 27 February 1929, by the Olalla brothers on the Tyler Duida Expedition.
 COMMENTS: Chapman gave the AMNH number of the holotype, examining 10 males and two females from Mount Duida. The 11 paratypes are: AMNH 271760–271770, eight males, two females, one sex? [apparently considered a male by Chapman], 4800–6200 ft, 20 December 1928 – 14 February 1929. Of these, AMNH 271765, male, and AMNH 271768, female, were exchanged to the Colección Phelps in August 1939. See Chapman (1931) for a joint report on the Lee Garnett Day Expedition to Mt. Roraima and the Tyler Duida Expedition to Mt. Duida. Tate and Hitchcock (1930) reported on the Mt. Duida region.
 Because the molecular studies of Cadena et al. (2007) and Flórez-Rodriguez et al. (2011) have not always shown ‘‘ Buarremon ’’ species to be monophyletic, they are retained in the expanded genus Arremon.

Language as topos : a study of Turkish polysemy

description: The study of polysemy connibutes to our understanding of different topologies of language. Polysemy implies metaphorical richness and provides clues to linguistic ontology in that it effects translation between the verbal and the non-verbal, linking the articulated and the tacit, i.e. language and silence. Implicit in the Turkish saying bir dil, bir insan (one language, one person) is an image of language as at once the mark of humanness and the defining feature of human variation, while another formulaic saying, dilin kemigi yoktur (the tongue has no bone(s)), implies a flexibility of meaning and intention which, without language, would be unavailable to humans. Taking certain features of Turkish polysemy as a guide, this thesis steers an analytic pathway through the rich diversity of modem Turkish ideational culture as it is lived by various members of the Turkish community in Melbourne. Migration to a new environment entails not only physical relocation but also ideational adjustment to new thought worlds. Language is a key to this process of reorientation, as people living in different cultural niches have recourse to different epistemological moorings for reality construal. Changes in cultural niche, as in the case of migration, highlight changes in ideational orientation. Taking a phenomenological approach to language based on the sensory parameters of sound and vision, this thesis explores the various topologies inherent in language use by focusing on polysemy, against a background of multilingualism and literacy. Turkish ideational life is an arena of contested realities. Polysemic terms such as yol (pathway), gurbet (temporary absence from home), acik/kapalz (open/closed) and sag/sol (right/left) as well as the tacit inside and outside orientate meaning within and between different discursive practices. Polysemy points also to different concepts of knowledge and power, as well as to different metaphors of humanity. Language itself is a metaphor of humanity and of knowledge/power.

description: A new DC-SQUID is proposed that exploits the properties of the grain boundary junctions in high T_c superconductors. The orientations of the grain boundaries are chosen in such a way to establish a pi/2 (rather than 0 or pi) phase difference between the equilibrium phases of the two Josephson junctions in the SQUID loop. This property is exploited to increase the sensitivity and direction dependence of the SQUID for measuring magnetic flux without additional flux generating coils.

description: This paper characterizes the meta distribution of the downlink signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) attained at a typical Internet-of-Things (IoT) device in a dual-hop IoT network. The IoT device associates with either a serving macro base station (MBS) for direct transmissions or associates with a decode and forward (DF) relay for dual-hop transmissions, depending on the biased received signal power criterion. In contrast to the conventional success probability, the meta distribution is the distribution of the conditional success probability (CSP), which is conditioned on the locations of the wireless transmitters. The meta distribution is a fine-grained performance metric that captures important network performance metrics such as the coverage probability and the mean local delay as its special cases. Specifically, we derive the moments of the CSP in order to calculate analytic expressions for the meta distribution. Further, we derive mathematical expressions for special cases such as the mean local delay, variance of the CSP, and success probability of a typical IoT device and typical relay with different offloading biases. We take in consideration in our analysis the association probabilities of IoT devices. Finally, we investigate the impact of increasing the relay density on the mean local delay using numerical results.

description: The Mekong, the largest river in Southeast Asia, is of fundamental cultural, ecological, and economic importance to the entire Mekong region. It supports the highest fish diversity after the Amazon and the largest inland fishery in the world and is at serious threats of intensifying environmental disaster and human activities. Mismatched the high attention worldwide, few related studies were concerning fishes in the whole basin. In this paper, 899 freshwater fish species were recorded, which could be grouped into 9 biogeographical regions based on their distribution information; each region owed its unique fauna with different dominance/or endemism at the genus level. The species richness was positively related to temperature, precipitation, and longitude, but negatively to latitude and slope. Seven migratory systems were deduced from spatial distribution information of 321 migratory species, and these systems were separate but not independent. Mekong fisheries were highly diversified with an estimation of a maximum worth of around $17 billion. Fisheries played an irreplaceable role in Cambodia, and aquaculture was of growing importance in the Delta and the Upper Mekong. Cascade dams, as well as climate change, overfishing, aquaculture, and pollution, posed threats to fish diversity and resources by habitat homogenization, migratory channel blockage, parents population decline, and diseases. Integrated management, a combination of capture and aquaculture fisheries, and collaboration among scientists, fishermen, and the public were advocated to address the issues facing Mekong fishes.

 Buarremon atricapillus tacarcunae Chapman, 1923a: 11 (Mt. Tacarcuna, about 3500 ft., eastern Panama).
 Now Arremon torquatus tacarcunae (Chapman, 1923). See Hellmayr, 1938: 423, Wetmore et al., 1984: 593–594, Dickinson, 2003: 799, Cadena et al., 2007, Banks et al., 2008: 764–765, Cadena and Cuervo, 2010: 152–176, and Flórez-Rodríguez et al., 2011.
 HOLOTYPE: AMNH 136268, adult male, collected on Cerro Tacarcuna (5 Mt. Tacarcuna), about 3500 ft, 08.11N, 77.17W (Siegel and Olson, 2008), Darién, Panama, on 24 March 1915, by William B. Richardson.
 COMMENTS: Chapman cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and said that a list of the specimens examined would be listed in a paper on the genus Buarremon, soon to be published. In it he (Chapman, 1923b: 277) listed four specimens of tacarcunae. The three paratypes are: AMNH 136266, 136267, and 136269, all males from Cerro Tacarcuna, collected in March–May 1915.

description: We present here the results of the room temperature dielectric constant measurements and Rietveld analysis of the powder x-ray diffraction data on $(1-x)[Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3]-xPbTiO_3$(PMN-$x$PT) in the composition range $0.20 \leq x \leq 0.45$ to show that the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) region contains two monoclinic phases with space groups Cm (or $M_B$ type) and Pm (or $M_C$ type) stable in the composition ranges $0.27 \leq x \leq 0.30$ and $0.31 \leq x \leq 0.34$, respectively. The structure of PMN-$x$PT in the composition ranges $0 \leq x \leq$ 0.26, and $0.35 \leq x \leq1$ is found to be rhombohedral (R3m) and tetragonal (P4mm), respectively. These results are compared with the predictions of Vanderbilt & Cohen's theory.

 Neu für Griechenland. Als Wirte dieser ebenfalls seltenen, aber von Skandinavien bis Nordafrika und Westasien verbreiteten Art (LINSENMAIER 1997b, 1999) vermuten Linsenmaier und NIEHUIS (1995) endogäisch nistende Grabwespen. KUNZ (1989) verweist mit Vorbehalt auf eine Beobachtung, derzufolge Diodontus tristis (VANDER LINDEN) in Norddeutschland ein Wirt sein könnte. Funddaten von SAURE (1998) stützen letztere Vermutung, doch hält Saure auch Trypoxylon figulus (L). für einen möglichen Wirt. Beide Grabwespen-Arten kommen auf der Peloponnes vor.

description: We investigate non-Markovian barrier-crossing kinetics of a massive particle in one dimension in the presence of a memory function that is the sum of two exponentials with different memory times $τ_1$ and $τ_2$. Our Langevin simulations for the special case where both exponentials contribute equally to the total friction show that the barrier crossing time becomes independent of the longer memory time if at least one of the two memory times is larger than the intrinsic diffusion time. When we associate memory effects with coupled degrees of freedom that are orthogonal to a one-dimensional reaction coordinate, this counterintuitive result shows that the faster orthogonal degrees of freedom dominate barrier-crossing kinetics in the non-Markovian limit and that the slower orthogonal degrees become negligible, quite contrary to the standard time-scale separation assumption and with important consequences for the proper setup of coarse-graining procedures in the non-Markovian case. By asymptotic matching and symmetry arguments, we construct a crossover formula for the barrier crossing time that is valid for general multi-exponential memory kernels. This formula can be used to estimate barrier-crossing times for general memory functions for high friction, i.e. in the overdamped regime, as well as for low friction, i.e. in the inertial regime. Typical examples where our results are important include protein folding in the high-friction limit and chemical reactions such as proton-transfer reactions in the low-friction limit.
Omalyce : an ethnography of the Ikwaye view of the cosmos
Creators: name: Mimica, Jadran F
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1981
Subjects: subject: Ethnology Papua New Guinea
subject: Cosmology

description: This ethnographic interpretation of the Ikwaye view of the cosmos is based on the following presuppositions: a) human experience of the world as a whole (cosmos) is an a priori ontological fact ; b) a view of the cosmos is a cultural construct expressing the metaphysical conception human beings have of their relation with the social and natural world. For the Ikwaye the cosmos is an anthropomorphic realm envisaged as the body of the male creator Omalyce. The main focus of the thesis is the interpretation of the nature of this conception both as a tacit dimension of everyday life existence and as a more articulate view expressed by one gifted informant. I further show that the Ikwaye view of the cosmos legitimates the ideology of male primacy in the procreation and perpetuation of life . The Ikwaye cosmological notions are tacit and generated through the mythopoeic process. This process is interpreted as a dimension of the Ikwaye lived experience of the world. Since the Ikwaye view of the cosmos is not a structured body of knowledge - an explicit cosmology - I emphasize my active role as an ethnographer in rendering explicit the meanings of their experience of the world. In this task I am guided by phenomenology and hermeneutics. The key concepts in the Ikwaye view of the cosmos are the macrocosmos, microcosmos, and autogenesis.
