description: This dissertation examines philanthropic foundation grant making for early childhood and K-12 education policy in the period 1988 to 2005, focusing on how grant making changed as a result of the Charlottesville Summit in 1989 and the passage of No Child Left Behind in 2001. Using a rational choice frame, I specifically ask if foundations responded to changes in the education policy environment that resulted from those 2 events by changing the levels of government that they target in their education policy grant making. Then, using an institutional frame, I ask if foundation capacity, as measured by their asset size and board size, increases the likelihood of being a foundation that focuses on policy grant making for education and increases the speed of response to changes in the field of foundations and the broader policy environment. Lastly, I employ the organizational ecology frame to ask if foundations have responded to changes in the organizational field of foundations, as the result of the entrance of new foundations that are influenced by broad changes in the business world, to focus their grant making increasingly on advocacy and other policy work. I find that there are a number of foundation characteristics that are associated with the odds of being a policy foundation and with the proportion of grants that policy foundations make for policy activities. I find that overall, following the Charlottesville Summit state targeted grantmaking decreased while nationally (affecting many if not all states) and federally targeted grantmaking rose. And, following the implementation of No Child Left Behind, locally targeted, state targeted and federally targeted grantmaking all increased as a percentage of total policy grantmaking, while nationally targeted grantmaking declined. However, these overall trends obscure important differences between the largest and non-largest foundations. Lastly, I find that grant recipient types also varied by foundation asset size. I conclude that while there is evidence to suggest that foundations behave as rational actors, to some degree, they are less responsive to isomorphic pressures from within the field of foundations than I would have expected. Additionally, rather than seeing tremendous change among the older foundations, the entrance of new foundations into the field of education philanthropy seems to be responsible for the perception that the field has changed dramatically.

description: ¶ Recombination within the bulk and at the surfaces of crystalline silicon has been investigated in this thesis. Special attention has been paid to the surface passivation achievable with plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposited (PECVD) silicon nitride (SiN) films due to their potential for widespread use in silicon solar cells. The passivation obtained with thermally grown silicon oxide (SiO2) layers has also been extensively investigated for comparison. ¶ Injection-level dependent lifetime measurements have been used throughout this thesis to quantify the different recombination rates in silicon. New techniques for interpreting the effective lifetime in terms of device characteristics have been introduced, based on the physical concept of a net photogeneration rate. The converse relationships for determining the effective lifetime from measurements of the open-circuit voltage (Voc) under arbitrary illumination have also been introduced, thus establishing the equivalency of the photoconductance and voltage techniques, both quasi-static and transient, by allowing similar possibilities for all of them. ¶ ...

Deliberating Across Difference: Bringing Social Learning into the Theory and Practice of Deliberative Democracy in the Case of Turkey
Creators: name: Kanra, Bora
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2004
Subjects: Deliberative Democracy
Social Learning
Islam and Democracy
Turkey
Islamic and Secular Discourses
Divided Societies

description: This thesis will argue that one of the main challenges for deliberative democracy is the lack of attention paid to the different modes of deliberative practices. The theories of deliberative democracy often treat deliberation as a decision-making process. Yet, I would argue that this approach fails to appreciate the full benefits of deliberation because it ignores the fundamental role that the social learning phase of deliberation plays in reconciling differences. Hence I argue for a deliberative framework in which social learning and decision-making moments of deliberation are analytically differentiated so that the resources of social learning are freed from the pressures of decision-making procedures and are therefore no longer subordinated to the terms of decision-making.¶ This is particularly important for countries such as Turkey where divisions cut deep across society. A case study examines the discourses of the Turkish public sphere regarding Islam, democracy and secularism to identify the kinds of discourses present in relation to the topic in question. By analysing the types of discourses through Q methodology the study reveals points of convergence and divergence between discourses, hence provides significant insight into how deliberation oriented to social learning can play a substantive role in reconciling differences between sharply divided groups.

description: Using structural similarity approach we identified dillapiole, a phenylpropanoid, the main component of Piper aduncum L. and Anethum graveolens L. essential oils as potential PPARγ agonist. Molecular docking revealed that dillapiole binds to the active site of PPARγ, similar to pioglitazone binding. In silico ADME studies showed that dillapiole has high water solubility and GI absorption. Dillapiole was also observed to be partial agonist of PPARγ receptors with EC50 of 43.95 µM. In BHK-21 cells cultured under hyperglycaemic conditions, dillapiole administration reduced oxidative stress and prevented decrease in histone H3 acetylation (k9/14) levels. In HFD + STZ induced diabetic mice, dillapiole treatment for 7 days was able to improve renal functions and decrease plasma glucose level to 138.39 ± 12.36 mg/dl along with decreasing total cholesterol (29%), triglycerides (48.8%), LDL (24.7%), and VLDL (65%) levels in serum. These results show that dillapiole is a potential PPARγ-agonist and thus needs to explore further.

Subjects: subject: Hendra virus

subject: Fruit bat foraging

description: Hendra virus is a bat-borne RNA virus that has recently emerged as a public health concern in Australia. Hendra virus is maintained in its reservoir hosts, pteropid bats (Pteropus alecto, P. poliocephalus, P. conspiculatus, and P. scapulatus) and occasionally spills over into horses. Previous research notes the considerable spatiotemporal variability in both spillover events and viral excretion from bats, which has generated many hypotheses to explain Hendra virus disease dynamics. However, the complex drivers of disease emergence make it difficult to ascertain the ecological drivers to spillover and the human-mediated factors that influence them. In this thesis, I employ a diverse set of analyses to investigate patterns of Hendra virus spillover and viral prevalence in bat populations, focusing on foraging resources as a driver of bat population distribution. Specifically, I develop an integrative theoretical foundation to model transmission among roosts using a resource-driven metapopulation approach. I use temporal models of bat population flux and foraging intensity built with remotely sensed proxies of Eucalypt phenology to understand changes in resources and population abundance. I analyze the periodicity, spatiotemporal synchrony, and environmental drivers of viral prevalence among bat roosts. Concerning future data collection studies, I develop theoretical spatial simulations to optimize the use of under-roost sheet sampling methods that collect pooled urine samples.
Deep CNN-Based Channel Estimation for mmWave Massive MIMO Systems

description: For millimeter wave (mmWave) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, hybrid processing architecture is usually used to reduce the complexity and cost, which poses a very challenging issue in channel estimation. In this paper, deep convolutional neural network (CNN) is employed to address this problem. We first propose a spatial-frequency CNN (SF-CNN) based channel estimation exploiting both the spatial and frequency correlation, where the corrupted channel matrices at adjacent subcarriers are input into the CNN simultaneously. Then, exploiting the temporal correlation in time-varying channels, a spatial-frequency-temporal CNN (SFT-CNN) based approach is developed to further improve the accuracy. Moreover, we design a spatial pilot-reduced CNN (SPR-CNN) to save spatial pilot overhead for channel estimation, where channels in several successive coherence intervals are grouped and estimated by a channel estimation unit with memory. Numerical results show that the proposed SF-CNN and SFT-CNN based approaches outperform the non-ideal minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) estimator but with reduced complexity, and achieve the performance close to the ideal MMSE estimator that is very difficult to be implemented in practical situations. They are also robust to different propagation scenarios. The SPR-CNN based approach achieves comparable performance to SF-CNN and SFT-CNN based approaches while only requires about one third of spatial pilot overhead at the cost of complexity. Our work clearly shows that deep CNN can efficiently exploit channel correlation to improve the estimation performance for mmWave massive MIMO systems.

Numercial results based on a nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation reveal the existence of a bound state leading to the formation of a molecule. We show that the degree of the nonlocality and the interwire separation play an important role in stabilizing the molecules. Dynamics of the width and center-of-mass of a solitons is also analyzed in terms of the system parameters.

description: Hardware advances strongly influence the database system design. The flattening speed of CPU cores makes many-core accelerators, such as GPUs, a vital alternative to explore for processing the ever-increasing amounts of data. GPUs have a significantly higher degree of parallelism than multi-core CPUs but their cores are simpler. As a result, they do not face the power constraints limiting the parallelism of CPUs. Their trade-off, however, is the increased implementation complexity. This thesis adapts and redesigns data analytics operators to better exploit the GPU special memory and threading model. Due to the increasing memory capacity and also the user's need for fast interaction with the data, we focus on in-memory analytics.
      Our techniques span different steps of the data processing pipeline: (1) Data preprocessing, (2) Query compilation, and (3) Algorithmic optimization of the operators. Our data preprocessing techniques adapt the data layout for numeric and string columns to maximize the achieved GPU memory bandwidth. Our query compilation techniques compute the optimal execution plan for conjunctive filters. We formulate \textit{memory divergence} for string matching algorithms and suggest how to eliminate it. Finally, we  parallelize decompression algorithms  in our compression framework \textit{Gompresso} to fit more data into the limited GPU memory. Gompresso achieves high speed-ups on GPUs over multi-core CPU state-of-the-art libraries and is suitable for any massively parallel processor.

description: We investigate linear combinations of characters for minimal Virasoro models which are representable as a products of several basic blocks. Our analysis is based on consideration of asymptotic behaviour of the characters in the quasi-classical limit. In particular, we introduce a notion of the secondary effective central charge. We find all possible cases for which factorization occurs on the base of the Gauss-Jacobi or the Watson identities. Exploiting these results, we establish various types of identities between different characters. In particular, we present several identities generalizing the Rogers-Ramanujan identities. Applications to quasi-particle representations, modular invariant partition functions, super-conformal theories and conformal models with boundaries are briefly discussed.

description: We consider the phenomenon of spontaneous pair production in presence of an external electric field for noncommutative Yang Mills theories. Using Maldacena's holographic conjecture the threshold electric field for pair production is computed from the quark-antiquark potential for noncommutative theories. As an effect of noncommutativity, the threshold electric field is seen to be smaller than its commutative counterpart. We also estimate the correction to the pair production rate of quark-antiquark pairs to the first order of the noncommutative deformation parameter. Our result bears resemblance with an earlier work (based on field theoretic methods).

description: The performance of conversational Large Language Models (LLMs) in general, and of ChatGPT in particular, is currently being evaluated on many different tasks, from logical reasoning or maths to answering questions on a myriad of topics. Instead, much less attention is being devoted to the study of the linguistic features of the texts generated by these LLMs. This is surprising since LLMs are models for language, and understanding how they use the language is important. Indeed, conversational LLMs are poised to have a significant impact on the evolution of languages as they may eventually dominate the creation of new text. This means that for example, if conversational LLMs do not use a word it may become less and less frequent and eventually stop being used altogether. Therefore, evaluating the linguistic features of the text they produce and how those depend on the model parameters is the first step toward understanding the potential impact of conversational LLMs on the evolution of languages. In this paper, we consider the evaluation of the lexical richness of the text generated by LLMs and how it depends on the model parameters. A methodology is presented and used to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of lexical richness using ChatGPT as a case study. The results show how lexical richness depends on the version of ChatGPT and some of its parameters, such as the presence penalty, or on the role assigned to the model. The dataset and tools used in our analysis are released under open licenses with the goal of drawing the much-needed attention to the evaluation of the linguistic features of LLM-generated text.

description: We show that the N-particle A_{N-1} and B_N rational Calogero models without the harmonic interaction admit a new class of bound and scattering states. These states owe their existence to the self-adjoint extensions of the corresponding Hamiltonians, labelled by a real parameter z. It is shown that the new states appear for all values of N and for specific ranges of the coupling constants. Moreover, they are shown to exist even in the excited sectors of the Calogero models. The self-adjoint extension generically breaks the classical scaling symmetry, leading to quantum mechanical scaling anomaly. The scaling symmetry can however be restored for certain values of the parameter z. We also generalize these results for many particle systems with classically scale invariant long range interactions in arbitrary dimensions.

title: Effects of Gully and Channel Erosion on Carbon and Nitrogen Storage, Mineralization and Export in a Subtropical Catchment

description: The fluxes of sediment, carbon and nutrients in rivers and consequently entering estuaries and the ocean, have been drastically altered by humans. Erosion is known to be one of the major causes of sediment flow disruption by the transfer of large quantities of soil from the terrestrial to the aquatic environment. It is also known to transport in association with sediment, a large amount of carbon and nutrients to the marine environment. Carbon and nutrient fluxes are influenced by other point and non-point sources which have been largely studied, particularly the effects of industrialized agriculture on nutrient fluxes. However, few studies have looked at the interrelation between the sediment, carbon, and nitrogen cycle disruption in eroding catchments. Gully and channel erosion are widespread across Australia as a result of land clearing and/or the introduction of livestock post-European settlement. This is a particular problem in subtropical Australia, where subsoil erosion is known to be the dominant source of sediment. The implications of gully and channel erosion for sediment budgets have been studied in detail, but its implications for carbon and nitrogen budgets remain an open question. Nitrogen is of particular importance, because it is considered to be the limiting nutrient in streams and rivers of the region and in most estuaries and coastal areas.

description: Numerous theories extending beyond the standard model of particle physics predict the existence of bosons that could constitute the dark matter (DM) permeating the universe. In the standard halo model (SHM) of galactic dark matter the velocity distribution of the bosonic DM field defines a characteristic coherence time $τ_c$. Until recently, laboratory experiments searching for bosonic DM fields have been in the regime where the measurement time $T$ significantly exceeds $τ_c$, so null results have been interpreted as constraints on the coupling of bosonic DM to standard model particles with a bosonic DM field amplitude $Φ_0$ fixed by the average local DM density. However, motivated by new theoretical developments, a number of recent searches probe the regime where $T\llτ_c$. Here we show that experiments operating in this regime do not sample the full distribution of bosonic DM field amplitudes and therefore it is incorrect to assume a fixed value of $Φ_0$ when inferring constraints on the coupling strength of bosonic DM to standard model particles. Instead, in order to interpret laboratory measurements (even in the event of a discovery), it is necessary to account for the stochastic nature of such a virialized ultralight field (VULF). The constraints inferred from several previous null experiments searching for ultralight bosonic DM were overestimated by factors ranging from 3 to 10 depending on experimental details, model assumptions, and choice of inference framework.

Garland of devotees: Nābhādās' Bhaktamāl  and modern Hinduism

description: This dissertation explores the Bhaktamāl and its subsequent tradition. Nābhādās' late sixteenth- or early seventeenth-century collection of hagiographies praises the qualities of hundreds of devotees and thereby sets the boundaries of a devotional community that far exceeds the sectarian context in which its author wrote. By closely considering the Bhaktamāl, its commentaries, manuscripts, and print editions, this thesis traces crucial aspects of the development of modern Hinduism from the early seventeenth century until the beginning of the twentieth. Priyādās completed the first major commentary on the Bhaktamāl in 1712, approximately a century after Nābhādās composed his garland. Priyādās presents a conception of the Vaishnava community that differs significantly from Nābhādās'. After Priyādās, the Bhaktamāl tradition continued to develop through a thriving manuscript culture, and the Bhaktamāl became a popular text. During the nineteenth century, the Bhaktamāl shaped British understandings of Indian society and played a central role in traditionalist articulations of modern Hinduism. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the concerted efforts of "Sītārāmśaraṇ" Bhagvān Prasād "Rūpkalā" and George Abraham Grierson helped to create a sense of fixity within the Bhaktamāl tradition. Since the time of its composition, the Bhaktamāl has remained a prominent locus of dispute over the boundaries and logic of the broad-based devotional community that we now know as Hinduism.

description: We study a continuous-time random walk on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ in an environment of random conductances taking values in $(0,\infty)$. For a static environment, we extend the quenched local limit theorem to the case of a general speed measure, given suitable ergodicity and moment conditions on the conductances and on the speed measure. Under stronger moment conditions, an annealed local limit theorem is also derived. Furthermore, an annealed local limit theorem is exhibited in the case of time-dependent conductances, under analogous moment and ergodicity assumptions. This dynamic local limit theorem is then applied to prove a scaling limit result for the space-time covariances in the Ginzburg-Landau $\nablaϕ$ model. We also show that the associated Gibbs distribution scales to a Gaussian free field. These results apply to convex potentials for which the second derivative may be unbounded.

description: A detailed review of recent developments in the topological classification of D-branes in superstring theory is presented. Beginning with a thorough, self-contained introduction to the techniques and applications of topological K-theory, the relationships between the classic constructions of K-theory and the recent realizations of D-branes as tachyonic solitons, coming from bound states of higher dimensional systems of unstable branes, are described. It is shown how the K-theory formalism naturally reproduces the known spectra of BPS and non-BPS D-branes, and how it can be systematically used to predict the existence of new states. The emphasis is placed on the new interpretations of D-branes as conventional topological solitons in other brane worldvolumes, how the mathematical formalism can be used to deduce the gauge field content on both supersymmetric and non-BPS branes, and also how K-theory predicts new relationships between the various superstring theories and their D-brane spectra. The implementations of duality symmetries as natural isomorphisms of K-groups are discussed. The relationship with the standard cohomological classification is presented and used to derive an explicit formula for D-brane charges. Some string theoretical constructions of the K-theory predictions are also briefly described.
