description: About 50% of the solar energy absorbed at the Earth’s surface is used to drive evaporation, a powerful form of energy dissipation due to water’s large latent heat of vaporization. Evaporation powers the water cycle that affects global water resources and climate. Critically, the evaporation driven water cycle impacts various renewable energy resources, such as wind and hydropower. While recent advances in water responsive materials and devices demonstrate the possibility of converting energy from evaporation into work, we have little understanding to-date about the potential of directly harvesting energy from evaporation.
      Here, we develop a theory of the energy available from natural evaporation to predict the potential of this ubiquitous resource. We use meteorological data from locations across the USA to estimate the power available from natural evaporation, its intermittency on varying timescales, and the changes in evaporation rates imposed by the energy conversion process. We find that harvesting energy from natural evaporation could provide power densities up to 10 W m-2 (triple that of present US wind power) along with evaporative losses reduced by 50%. When restricted to existing lakes and reservoirs larger than 0.1 km2 in the contiguous United States (excluding the Great Lakes), we estimate the total power available to be 325 GW. Strikingly, we also find that the large heat capacity of water bodies is sufficient to control power output by storing excess energy when demand is low.
      Taken together, our results show how this energy resource could provide nearly continuous renewable energy at power densities comparable to current wind and solar technologies – while saving water by cutting evaporative losses. Consequently, this work provides added motivation for exploring materials and devices that harness energy from evaporation.
A Thing Is What We Say It Is: Referential Communication and Indirect Category Learning

description: This study investigates the interaction of referential communication and the structure of perceptual features on the joint processes of inventing a referential lexicon for novel objects and discovering the functional significance of those objects during an indirect category learning activity. During the learning task, participants worked either individually or as cooperative dyads to learn four combinations of orthogonal functional features—nutritive vs. not nutritive and destructive vs. not destructive—that defined four categories of fictional extra-terrestrial creatures. These categories were not specifically identified or labeled; rather, participants had to infer them indirectly as they predicted the functions. Also, these functionally defined categories exhibited a complex perceptual structure: a unidimensional (simple) rule predicted one function, while a family resemblance (complex) sub-structure predicted the other function. The function-learning task yielded function prediction data. In addition, each learner worked individually to sort the creatures (pre- and post-function learning) and to predict their functions in an individual function prediction posttest that also yielded selective attention data. Together, the prediction data, sort data, and selective attention data supported three a priori hypotheses. Referential communication generates conceptual homogeneity (H3) and enhances indirect category learning (H1), though simple rules are learned earlier and better than complex relationships (H2). In explaining the learning advantages observed among dyadic learners, I argue that referential communication may highlight attention to relationships between features (perceptual and functional) and actions as well as render such relationships more memorable. Moreover, communication may foster greater motivation among collaborators and may allow them to take advantage of the differing expectations and heuristics each collaborator brings to the task. In explaining the simplicity advantages observed among dyadic learners, I argue that referential communication may provide explicit "rules" for otherwise implicit (and perhaps more difficult) judgements. Dyads appear to have established reference to simple rules earlier than they established reference to complex rules; thus, they could explicitly (and perhaps more easily) learn the simple rule earlier than the complex rule. Finally, in explaining the conceptual homogeneity between and within dyads, I consider whether communication pushes "public" conceptualizations and publicly-formed "private" conceptualizations towards a limited range of widely shareable conceptual structures.

description: We present a model for introducing dynamics into a space-time geometry. This space-time structure is constructed from a C*-algebra defined in terms of the generators of an irreducible unitary representation of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra G. This algebra is included as a subalgebra in a bigger algebra F, the generators of which mix the representations of G in a way that relates different space-times and creates the dynamics. This construction can be considered eventually as a model for 2-D quantum gravity.

description: We present a new approach to take into account resonance decays in the blast-wave model fits of identified hadron spectra. Thanks to pre-calculated decayed particle spectra, we are able to extract, in a matter of seconds, the multiplicity dependence of the single freeze-out temperature $T_{\rm fo}$, average fluid velocity $\left$, velocity exponent $n$, and the volume $dV/dy$ of an expanding fireball. In contrast to blast-wave fits without resonance feed-down, our approach results in a freeze-out temperature of $T_{\rm fo}\approx 150\,\text{MeV}$, which has only weak dependence on multiplicity and collision system. Finally, we discuss separate chemical and kinetic freeze-outs separated by partial chemical equilibrium.

description: Some phantom cosmological models without big rip singularity have been constructed in a simple extended theory of gravity. In the geometrical part of the action, a minimally coupled linear function of the Ricci Scalar and the trace of the energy momentum tensor have been considered in place of the Ricci scalar. Four Little Rip and Pseudo Rip models have been investigated where the equation of state parameter evolves asymptotically and sufficiently rapidly to $-1$. The effect of the coupling constant of the extended gravity theory on the dynamics has been discussed. Possible wormhole solutions for the phantom models are obtained. The possibility of Big Trip in wormholes are discussed for the models.

description: The topic of this thesis is the semantic prime KNOW of Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) theory. I take an in-depth look at this NSM prime, proposed to be a fundamental concept found in all the world’s languages, considering both linguistic and broader philosophical issues in relation to the KNOW hypothesis, i.e. the proposal that the concept represented by KNOW is a legitimate NSM prime. After introducing NSM and defending a specific “psychological” interpretation of the theory (Chapter 1), I outline the KNOW proposal, including discussion of the combinatorial properties ascribed to it and how they have evolved in recent years (Chapter 2). I then look at would-be counterexamples to the universality of KNOW from a handful of languages (Chapter 3). I argue that overall the prime stands up well to these challenges, though the case of Kalam (Pawley 1994) does raise some issues that require further investigation and possibly novel kinds of testis to resolve. Then in the first part of the “philosophical” side to the thesis, I draw a comparison with the KNOW hypothesis and Timothy Williamson’s (2001) view that knowing is a conceptually fundamental concept, finding both striking similarities and instructive differences between the positions (Chapter 4). Lastly, I consider the “experimental philosophy” findings made by Weinberg et al. (2001) on what looks like cultural variation in concepts of knowing, addressing the question of whether such results are problematic for the universality of the KNOW prime (Chapter 5). Here I contend that such studies do not pose a threat to KNOW, not least because they come with a multitude of methodological issues, including specifically linguistic issues, many of which could be prevented by constructing NSM-based questionnaires. In Chapter 6, I conclude, pointing to several important avenues for further research brought up by the discussion, both on the subject of continued research on the KNOW prime and in relation to interdisciplinary applications of NSM to philosophy.

description: The Chandra X-ray Observatory has detected relatively hard X-ray emission from the central stars of several planetary nebulae (PNe). A subset have no known late-type companions, making it very difficult to isolate which of several competing mechanisms may be producing the X-ray emission. The central star of NGC 2392 is one of the most vexing members, with substantial indirect evidence for a hot white dwarf (WD) companion. Here we report on the results of a radial velocity (RV) monitoring campaign of its central star with the HERMES echelle spectrograph of the Flemish 1.2 m Mercator telescope. We discover a single-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of $1.902208\pm0.000013$ d and a RV semi-amplitude of $9.96\pm0.13$ km/s. The high degree of nebula ionisation requires a WD companion ($M\gtrsim0.6 M_\odot$), which the mass-function supports at orbital inclinations $\lesssim$7 deg, in agreement with the nebula orientation of 9 deg. The hard component of the X-ray spectrum may be explained by the companion accreting mass from the wind of the Roche lobe filling primary, while the softer component may be due to colliding winds. A companion with a stronger wind than the primary could produce the latter and would be consistent with models of the observed diffuse X-ray emission detected in the nebula. The diffuse X-rays may also be powered by the jets of up to 180 km/s and active accretion would imply that they could be the first active jets of a post-common-envelope PN, potentially making NGC 2392 an invaluable laboratory to study jet formation physics. The 1.9 d orbital period rules out a double-degenerate merger leading to a Type Ia supernova and the weak wind of the primary likely also precludes a single-degenerate scenario. We suggest that a hard X-ray spectrum, in the absence of a late-type companion, could be a powerful tool to identify accreting WD companions.

description: The debates about what to do with collections from colonial contexts, and how to deal with them, have developed pace and unexpected momentum in the last three years. This is especially true for artifacts from the African continent, whether they are in museums or collections in Europe, North America, or elsewhere outside the continent. But the same is true under different circumstances, and we do not want to pass over this, for colonial collections and museums in Africa. Let's take a closer look at both in light of recent debates. The discussions about whether, to whom and when under which circumstances a return, or rather indeed: an unequivocal restitution is appropriate or not, have recently experienced differentiations. This applies already to the preconditions of most restitutions, namely the opening and making accessible of the inventories. While some think that in principle everything should be put online, another opinion maintains that whenever possible, the creators or original holders should have their say beforehand, especially in the case of 'sensitive' objects such as those containing human remains, of a sacred nature, or photographs of contexts of violence. This has also brought other issues into focus – questions about the various forms of rights of disposal, about the forms and functions of museums in Africa, and in Europe and elsewhere.

By symmetry of this equation we mean the operators Q satisfying commutational relations of order p more than p=1 on the solutions u: [L...[L,Q]...]u=0. It is shown, that within the framework of the proposed method with p=2 the relativistic D'Alembert and Maxwell equations are the Galilei symmetrical ones. Analogously, with p=2 the Galilei symmetrical Schroedinger equation is the relativistic symmetrical one. In both cases the standard symmetries are realized with p=1.

Planned fertility decline in rural China : the case of Anhui Province
Creators: name: Yang, Quanhe
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1990

description: This thesis examines fertility decline in the context of planned socioeconomic changes in rural China, with special reference to rural Anhui. The period from 1949 to 1972 was basically one of tightening central control of the economy and society, and there was no systematic family planning program in rural China. Fertility changes were indirectly influenced by other planned socioeconomic changes. During this period, ideological reform and class struggle were emphasized and people were forced to submerge their own interests in favour of the collective's and state interests. The bureaucratic system became increasingly entrenched and ready to carry out the full range of centrally planned policies. It was in these circumstances that the family planning program was introduced to rural China in the early 1970s. During the 1970s, the family planning program developed rapidly from the 'Wan Xi Shao' campaign (Later-longer-fewer: later start, longer intervals and fewer children) to the One-child Family policy adopted in 1979. China experienced a dramatic fertility decline in the 1970s despite the absence of much progress in socioeconomic development. From 1979 to 1989 a period of economic reforms was accompanied by the loosening of central government control and command economics. In rural China land was redistributed to the peasants under a policy known as the production responsibility system. The social structure quickly adapted to this changed situation. Peasants found that their interests were served by larger family sizes to take advantage of new farming systems. Their resistance to rigid central population policy grew stronger in the 1980s. This resulted in a period of conflict and modification of population policy. While fertility remains relatively low, these events suggest that future fertility declines in China are unlikely to be easy or smooth unless economic development reaches the stage where people's economic interests are consistent with low fertility and the whole community internalizes a small family norm.

Colonial Taipei : a family caught in Japanese time and space
Creators: name: Yeh, Chienwei
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2000

description: This thesis examines Taipei's urban geography during the Japanese colonial period (18951945) by studying the everyday life of indigenous people and their perception of Colonial Taipei. A new urban regime was imposed on Taiwanese people by the Colonial Government. This forced them to find ways of negotiating with Japanese colonial space. The study draws attention to Taiwanese women by investigating their geographical world in Colonial Taipei. In particular the study examines Colonial Taipei through the eyes of my maternal family. Most attention is focused on my grandmother who was born in 1900 at the beginning of Japanese colonisation. Through comprehensive interviews with her and intensive archival research, I have portrayed her geographical world. While Taiwanese people were gradually and forcefully assimilated into adopting a Japanese lifestyle, my grandmother adhered to her Chinese lifestyle. Having established her own social and private space in colonial Taipei, she used it stubbornly to maintain an independent sense of self and her own place in the world. This position has reflected both her actual geographical experience and her imagination. This study demonstrates how Japanese colonialism subtly penetrated the everyday life and space of Taiwanese people living in Taipei. Young Taiwanese were closely involved in the assimilation process and they became Japanese-oriented. Only Chinese women preserved their 'Chineseness' inside their neighborhood as, without a Japanese education, they were excluded from colonial society. They escaped from being 'colonised' by exercising quiet but eloquent resistance towards Japanese influences.

Friedel oscillations of one-dimensional correlated fermions from perturbation theory and density functional theory

description: We study the asymptotic decay of the Friedel density oscillations induced by an open boundary in a one-dimensional chain of lattice fermions with a short-range two-particle interaction. From Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid theory it is known that the decay follows a power law, with an interaction dependent exponent, which, for repulsive interactions, is larger than the noninteracting value $-1$. We first investigate if this behavior can be captured by many-body perturbation theory for either the Green function or the self-energy in lowest order in the two-particle interaction. The analytic results of the former show a logarithmic divergence indicative of the power law. One might hope that the resummation of higher order terms inherent to the Dyson equation then leads to a power law in the perturbation theory for the self-energy. However, the numerical results do not support this. Next we use density functional theory within the local-density approximation and an exchange-correlation functional derived from the exact Bethe ansatz solution of the translational invariant model. While the numerical results are consistent with power-law scaling if systems of $10^4$ or more lattice sites are considered, the extracted exponent is very close to the noninteracting value even for sizeable interactions.

Numerically generated quasi-equilibrium orbits of black holes: Circular or eccentric?

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We make a comparison between results from numerically generated, quasi-equilibrium configurations of compact binary systems of black holes in close orbits, and results from the post-Newtonian approximation. The post-Newtonian results are accurate through third PN order (O(v/c)^6 beyond Newtonian gravity), and include rotational and spin-orbit effects, but are generalized to permit orbits of non-zero eccentricity. Both treatments ignore gravitational radiation reaction. The energy E and angular momentum J of a given configuration are compared between the two methods as a function of the orbital angular frequency Ω. For small Ω, corresponding to orbital separations a factor of two larger than that of the innermost stable orbit, we find that, if the orbit is permitted to be slightly eccentric, with e ranging from \approx 0.03 to \approx 0.05, and with the two objects initially located at the orbital apocenter (maximum separation), our PN formulae give much better fits to the numerically generated data than do any circular-orbit PN methods, including various ``effective one-body'' resummation techniques. We speculate that the approximations made in solving the initial value equations of general relativity numerically may introduce a spurious eccentricity into the orbits.

Compliments and compliment responses in Japanese conversation
Creators: name: Yoshida, Akiko
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2005

description: This thesis investigates the acts of giving and receiving compliments in Japanese conversational context. Adopting a conversation analytic methodology, it explicates how conversational participants give and receive compliments in the course of conversation. By employing the notion of initial and non-initial compliments, it reveals how compliment sequences are systematically and collaboratively organised by participants. It also proposes the distinction between substantial and non-substantial target objects of compliments, as a useful device to investigate the development of compliment sequences. While participants proffer initial compliments more often on non-substantial objects, initial compliments on substantial objects are more likely to be followed by subsequent compliments. The design of compliments and compliment responses are also examined. It is found that compliment givers tend to give compliments in a less direct manner. Instead of explicitly expressing their positive evaluation of the referent, participants make use of various devices to reduce the degree of imposition. The design of compliments may reflect the compliment giver's concern for the recipient, in particular, concern for the recipients' personal territory. The analysis of how participants compliment superiors, how they make use of a third party as a mediator, and how laughter appear in compliments all suggest the possibility that the act of giving compliments involves a certain degree of negative politeness. In terms of the design of compliment responses, recipients of compliments make use of various devices to deal with the dilemma caused by conflicting pressures to avoid disagreement, as well as to avoid self-praise. Instead of accepting and rejecting compliments in a direct manner, compliment recipients tend not to display their stance, while showing their concern for compliment givers. These observations indicate that the acts of giving and receiving compliments are deeply involved with interpersonal aspects.

By closely investigating the subsequent performance of stock prices after reaching 52-week highs and lows, the thesis firstly identifies the psychological information the two price levels possess and whether investors exhibit behavioural bias at those price levels. Empirical evidence documented shows that investors treat 52-week high and low price levels as reference points. The thesis demonstrates that investors exhibit different levels of risk tolerance at 52-week high and 52-week low price levels. Secondly, to further understand the anomaly of the 52-week high and low effect, the thesis employs a number of widely adopted asset pricing models to examine whether it can be explained by various traditional asset pricing theories. We conclude that traditional asset pricing frameworks perform quite poorly in terms of explaining the variations in the returns of the 52-week high and low effect.

Subjects: Music
Religion
Spirituality in music
Choral music

description: This dissertation consists of two parts, an essay and a four-part cycle of choral works, including four full scores of A Time for Everything (meditation on Ecclesiastes 3), Come Away, My Beloved (meditation on Song of Songs), Intercession (meditation on Romans 8), and Faith, Hope, and Love (meditation on 1 Corinthians 13).
      The essay includes an introduction presenting an overview of A Time for Everything for chorus, a description of my creative process, and my ideas of music and spirituality that inform the composition. It also includes an in-depth analysis of each of the four choral works.
      A Time for Everything for chorus was conceived as a series of musical meditations, and composed for the vocal ensemble Ekmeles. The four pieces were premiered at Roulette Intermedium, and Issue Project Room in New York, and at Nassau Presbyterian Church in Princeton, New Jersey between 2012-2013. Scores and recordings of these works make up the second part of the dissertation.

description: Recent advances on quantum computing hardware have pushed quantum computing to the verge of quantum supremacy. Random quantum circuits are outstanding candidates to demonstrate quantum supremacy, which could be implemented on a quantum device that supports nearest-neighbour gate operations on a two-dimensional configuration. Here we show that using the Projected Entangled-Pair States algorithm, a tool to study two-dimensional strongly interacting many-body quantum systems, we can realize an effective general-purpose simulator of quantum algorithms. This technique allows to quantify precisely the memory usage and the time requirements of random quantum circuits, thus showing the frontier of quantum supremacy. With this approach we can compute the full wave-function of the system, from which single amplitudes can be sampled with unit fidelity. Applying this general quantum circuit simulator we measured amplitudes for a $7\times 7$ lattice of qubits with depth $1+40+1$ and double-precision numbers in 31 minutes using less than $93$ TB memory on the Tianhe-2 supercomputer.

description: Suppose that lambda is the successor of a singular cardinal mu whose cofinality is an uncountable cardinal kappa. We give a sufficient condition that the club filter of lambda concentrating on the points of cofinality kappa is not lambda^+-saturated. The condition is phrased in terms of a notion that we call weak reflection. We discuss various properties of weak reflection
A Three-Paper Dissertation on Longitudinal Data Analysis in Education and Psychology

description: In longitudinal settings, modeling the covariance structure of repeated measure data is essential for proper analysis. The first paper in this three-paper dissertation presents a survey of four journals in the fields of Education and Psychology to identify the most commonly used methods for analyzing longitudinal data. It provides literature reviews and statistical details for each identified method. This paper also offers a summary table giving the benefits and drawbacks of all the surveyed methods in order to help researchers choose the optimal model according to the structure of their data. Finally, this paper highlights that even when scholars do use more advanced methods for analyzing repeated measure data, they very rarely report (or explore in their discussions) the covariance structure implemented in their choice of modeling. This suggests that, at least in some cases, researchers may not be taking advantage of the optimal covariance patterns. This paper identifies a gap in the standard statistical practices of the fields of Education and Psychology, namely that researchers are not modeling the covariance structure as an extension of fixed/random effects modeling. The second paper introduces the General Serial Covariance (GSC) approach, an extension of the Linear Mixed Modeling (LMM) or Hierarchical Linear Model (HLM) techniques that models the covariance structure using spatial correlation functions such as Gaussian, Exponential, and other patterns. These spatial correlations model the covariance structure in a continuous manner and therefore can deal with missingness and imbalanced data in a straightforward way. A simulation study in the second paper reveals that when data are consistent with the GSC model, using basic HLMs is not optimal for the estimation and testing of the fixed effects. The third paper is a tutorial that uses a real-world data set from a drug abuse prevention intervention to demonstrate the use of the GSC and basic HLM models in R programming language. This paper utilizes variograms (a visualization tool borrowed from geostatistics) among other exploratory tools to determine the covariance structure of the repeated measure data. This paper aims to introduce the GSC model and variogram plots to Education and Psychology, where, according to the survey in the first paper, they are not in use. This paper can also help scholars seeking guidance for interpreting the fixed effect-parameters.
title: The Application of the International Consensus Criteria to Assess Prevalence of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis in Australia

subject: Public health

description: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, also referred to as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) is receiving greater public health attention as a complex condition that results in substantial functional impairment. It is largely characterised by severe, medically unexplained fatigue and is associated with a broad range of further symptoms. Diagnosis remains a particular challenge and case definitions remain the primary tool in the absence of reliable and consistent clinical and biological markers. Several case definitions have been proposed and these differ significantly in symptom criteria, comorbid considerations and exclusion of other conditions, thus representing contrasting clinical profiles. This contributes to large differences in reported population, clinical, and laboratory findings reported for CFS/ME. A systematic review of worldwide prevalence studies was performed and demonstrated that the Fukuda et al. definition has been adopted as a standard. Furthermore, no studies had adopted the more recently proposed International definition. Despite the numerous studies demonstrating the public health impact of CFS/ME abroad, only one report was found estimating CFS/ME prevalence in the Australian population but this report predated the Fukuda and more recent case definitions. In the absence of a prevalence estimate for Australia, a meta-analysis was performed to pool worldwide prevalence figures of Fukuda defined cases. The pooled prevalence for self-reporting assessment was 3.28% (95% CI: 2.24–4.33) and 0.76% (95% CI: 0.23–1.29) for clinical assessment.
Numerical study on the axisymmetric state in spherical Couette flow under unstable thermal stratification

description: This paper numerically investigates the shear flow between double concentric spherical boundaries rotating differentially, so-called spherical Couette flow, under unstable thermal stratification, focusing on the boundary of the axisymmetric/non-axisymmetric transition in wide gap cases where the inner radius is comparable to the clearance width. While the transition of SCF has been confirmed experimentally in cases without thermal factor, insufficient knowledge on SCF subject to thermal instability, related to geophysical problems especially in wide gap cases, has been accumulated mainly based on numerical analysis; our motivation is to bridge the knowledge gap by a parameter extension. We reconfirm that the transition under no thermal effect is initiated by a disturbance visualised as a spiral pattern with n arms extending from the equatorial zone to the pole in each hemisphere, at the critical Reynolds number, Recr, as previously reported. With increasing thermal factor, the buoyancy effect assists the system rotation to trigger a transition towards non-axisymmetric states, resulting in a relative decrease of Recr. This is in contrast with the result that the system rotation apparently suppresses via Coriolis effect the transition to the thermally convective states at low Reynolds numbers. The present study elucidates that the existence of the axisymmetric state is restricted within a closed area in the extended parameter space, along the boundary of which the spiral patterns observed experimentally in SCF continually connect to the classical spherical Benard convective states.
