description: We study the kinetic equilibration of gluons produced in the very early stages of a high energy heavy ion collision in a ``self-consistent'' relaxation time approximation. We compare two scenarios describing the initial state of the gluon system, namely the saturation and the minijet scenarios, both at RHIC and LHC energies. We argue that, in order to characterize kinetic equilibration, it is relevant to test the isotropy of various observables. As a consequence, we find in particular that in both scenarios elastic processes are not sufficient for the system to reach kinetic equilibrium at RHIC energies. More generally, we show that, contrary to what is often assumed in the literature, elastic collisions alone are not sufficient to rapidly achieve kinetic equilibration. Because of longitudinal expansion at early times, the actual equilibration time is at least of the order of a few fermis.

description: The pseudorapidity dependence of elliptic flow in Au+Au collisions at 130 $A$ GeV is studied within a full three-dimensional hydrodynamic model in the light-cone coordinate. First, we prepare two initial conditions in the hydrodynamic model for analyzing elliptic flow. Both initial conditions lead to reasonable agreement with single particle spectra in central and semi-central collisions. Next, by using these hydrodynamic simulations, we compare elliptic flow as a function of pseudorapidity with experimental data recently measured by the PHOBOS Collaboration. Our results are in agreement with experimental data only near midrapidity. This suggests that thermalization in the early stage of collisions is not achieved in forward and backward rapidity regions.

Additionally, we impose Roy-like dispersion relations. As a result, we obtain three reliable solutions corresponding to three different datasets. From the Forward Dispersion Relation output, we extract resonance pole parameters in a parameterization-independent way using continued fractions.

description: Within the realm of public policies for a sustainable food system, the focus has gradually shifted from production oriented towards consumption oriented interventions. Whilst changing consumer behavior can have a long-lasting positive environmental impact, choosing effective sustainable consumption policy instruments may be a challenging task. In the case of food consumption, the choice of interventions is particularly difficult because of the multiple aspects- psychological, cultural, economic, religious- associated with eating habits. The paper deals with one of the most commonly used forms of intervention, nutrition education programs in public schools. The main conclusion of the paper is that a major effort should be made by the Ministry of Education, school managers and educators, in the field of food education intervention. Food education activities should be able not only to encourage better food habits but also to involve children in all aspects of the food system, with the aim of promoting the emergence of a new culture of sustainability, sovereignty and food security. Moreover, a further research effort is required in order to understand the influence of psychological and socio-demographic variables on children’s food habits, so as to provide policy makers with information which is of practical use when choosing the best strategies and tools for intervention.

description: Democracy can thrive on people with little knowledge and very little say in policy implementation, but development cannot. Citizen's participation in terms of their demands, their ability to convey displeasure and the power to demand their right will be needed to reach our true potential. Communication should be a two-way process as people's voice should come from the mouth of the government. Democracy needs a voice, and good governance needs the ability to communicate with its people. This research article highlights the need for communication for the government that target the deprived group in the presence of many communication barriers.

The analysis of labour utilization in smallholder tea farms in Kenya

Year: 1978
Subjects: subject: Tea Kenya
subject: Tea trade Kenya

description: Rapid growth has taken place in the smallholder tea sector in Kenya and the dynamic response to incentives, by which this has been accomplished, is remarkable. This study undertakes to examine the role of one of the major inputs in tea production, labour, which in addition to working on tea must also work on subsistence production, household activities and off-farm jobs. The introductory chapter traces the historical development and success of the smallholders in Kenya growing tea, a crop originally thought to be unsuited for smallholdings. The developmental aspects of tea in providing rural employment, income and foreign exchange are highlighted. The role tea plays in absorbing labour in the rural areas is considered in the context of some of the existing development models. It is argued that since the labour absorption capacity of the urban sector is limited, models of the Lewis-Fei-Ranis type may not be suitable to the Kenyan situation while models emphasising rural labour absorption such as that of Fisk (1962) and Myint's 'Vent for Surplus' model (1964) may be useful. Survey data originally collected in 1965-66 is used to examine the allocation of labour to various activities and the interrelationship between them. It is found that while other agricultural activities have a seasonal pattern, tea after establishment has some evenness and flexibility of labour demand. Tea is found to be closely associated with increasing hiring of labour (a positive correlation existing between tea acreage and hired labour). The hired labour either supplements family labour or is used where the family has offfarm work. There was no evidence of a labour constraint for tea production. The production function of tea is revisited in an attempt to include harvest labour in the function under the hyixjthesis that, at the margin, there may be some substitution between the labour and the tea bushes. This relaxes the earlier assumption of fixed factor proportions hypothesised by Etherington (1973) . However, the study concludes by not rejecting the earlier hypothesis and asserts that in a situation where there is no labour constraint, provided that capital and other inputs like management have been correctly specified, there may be no need to include harvest labour because output will determine it and this will be available in the family or through hiring. The study concludes with some suggestions for further investigations into the current situation on the smallholder tea farms of Kenya following the continued rapid expansion of the tea area and increased maturity of the tea bushes over the last fifteen years.
Probing dark matter and dark energy through Gravitational Time Advancement

description: The expression of gravitational time advancement (negative time delay) for particles with non-zero mass in Schwarzschild geometry has been obtained. The influences of the gravitational field that describes the observed rotation curves of spiral galaxies and that of dark energy (in the form of cosmological constant) on time advancement of particles have also been studied. The present findings suggest that in presence of dark matter gravitational field the time advancement may take place irrespective of gravitational field of the observer, unlike the case of pure Schwarzschild geometry where gravitational time advancement takes place only when the observer is situated at stronger gravitational field compare to the gravitational field encountered by the particle during its journey. When applied to the well known case of SN 1987a, it is found that the net time delay of a photon/gravitational wave is much smaller than quoted in the literature. In the presence of dark matter field, the photon and neutrinos from SN 1987a should have been suffered gravitational time advancement rather than the delay.

description: We present a computable general equilibrium model properly modified to analyse the potential role of the European forestry sector within climate mitigation. Improvements on database and modelling frameworks allow accounting for land heterogeneity across and within regions and for land transfers between agriculture, grazing, and forestry. The forestry sector has been modified to track carbon mitigation potential from both intensive and extensive forest margins, which have been calibrated according to a forest sectoral model. Two sets of climate policies are simulated. In a first scenario, Europe is assumed to commit unilaterally to reduce CO2 emissions of 20% and 30%, by 2020. In a second scenario, in addition to the emissions quotas, progressively higher forest-sequestration subsidies are paid to European firms to foster the implementation of forestry practices. Results show that including forest carbon in the compliance strategy decreases European policy costs and carbon price, although public spending is redirected towards the financing of the forest sequestration subsidy. Comparing public spending and savings in policy costs a net positive balance is reported for all the European regions. Significant reductions in carbon leakage or pressure on food security and deforestation outside Europe are not acknowledged.

description: The use of biomass for energy is one of the promising alternatives identified by the European Union to reduce the greenhouse gases emissions and for the energy supply security. The aim of this research is to analyze the potential production, economic and environmental sustainability of the energy produced from the vineyards and olive orchards pruning at the 4 municipalities of Umbria Region. Geo-spatial, economic and environment analysis have been conducted. The integrated approach was used to estimate the total quantity of biomass produced in that area, identify a logistic network for its transportation and finally based on which a power plant has been suggested. The chain costs and the potential profit margins were also calculated and the resulted CO2 emissions into the atmosphere were also been estimated. The results have shown that the fragmentation and the dispersion of agricultural activities as well as technical and logistical decisions affect noticeably the economical and environmental (both in terms of energy balance and CO2 emissions) sustainability of the proposed agri-energetic chain.
Demand for meat in Jakarta : an econometric analysis

Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1978
Subjects: subject: Meat industry and trade Indonesia Jakarta

description: This study aims to quantify the relationships between consumption, prices and incomes in the demand for individual meats in Jakarta. Using consumer demand theory and previous studies of meat demand, important factors in model specification are considered. A system of meat demand functions is set up in which per capita consumption is hypothesised to be: (1) negatively related to own price; (2) positively related to price of substitutes; and (3) positively related to income. Using quarterly data of 48 observations (1966-77) and a GLS estimator, double log functions are estimated. Data limitations prevented estimation of chicken demand equations and meaningful goat meat equations. The models generally support the stated hypotheses. Interpretation of the results is cautious, because of data limitations. The results suggest that beef and pork demand is own price inelastic and pork is price elastic while both income elasticities are less than unity. Some Evidence of partial adjustment in beef consumption was observed.

description: The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) has measured day and night solar neutrino energy spectra and rates. For charged current events, assuming an undistorted $^8$B spectrum, the night minus day rate is $14.0% \pm 6.3% ^{+1.5}_{-1.4}%$ of the average rate. If the total flux of active neutrinos is additionally constrained to have no asymmetry, the $ν_e$ asymmetry is found to be $7.0% \pm 4.9% ^{+1.3}_{-1.2}%$. A global solar neutrino analysis in terms of matter-enhanced oscillations of two active flavors strongly favors the Large Mixing Angle (LMA) solution.

description: Increasing awareness of food safety issues has brought a boost in sanitary and phytosanitary regulations and standards. Although is likely that these regulations have increased health and welfare in the countries that impose them, they may also have an important effect in exporting countries, affecting especially small producers in developing countries. Other papers have found that individual quantitative measures of regulatory stringency have an impact on trade, but none has looked into broader SPS regulation stringency indicators. Through a survey that asked Chilean fresh fruit exporters to evaluate the stringency for 16 countries and four fresh fruits, we create and index that incorporates several aspects of SPS regulation. Our estimations suggest that, on average, quality standards and packaging and labeling issues are considered the most stringent. We also estimate a gravity model and find that SPS regulatory stringency, measured by this broad index, has negative and significant effect on traded volume

A note on unfree gauge symmetry

description: We study the general structure of field theories with the unfree gauge symmetry where the gauge parameters are restricted by differential equations. The examples of unfree gauge symmetries include volume preserving diffeomorphisms in the unimodular gravity and various higher spin field theories with transverse gauge symmetries. All the known examples of the models with unfree gauge symmetry share one common feature. They admit local quantities which vanish on shell, though they are not linear combinations of Lagrangian equations and their derivatives. We term these quantities as mass shell completion functions. In the case of usual gauge symmetry with unconstrained gauge parameters, the irreducible gauge algebra involves the two basic constituents: the action functional and gauge symmetry generators. For the case of unfree gauge symmetry, we identify two more basic constituents: operators of gauge parameter constraints and completion functions. These two extra constituents are involved in the algebra of unfree gauge symmetry on equal footing with action and gauge symmetry generators. Proceeding from the algebra, we adjust the Faddeev-Popov (FP) path integral quantization scheme to the case of unfree gauge symmetry. The modified FP action involves the operators of the constraints imposed on the gauge parameters, while the corresponding BRST transformation involves the completion functions. The BRST symmetry ensures gauge independence of the path integral. We provide two examples which admit the alternative unconstrained parametrization of gauge symmetry and demonstrate that they lead to the equivalent FP path integral.

A loading protocol is described that results in 10,000 atoms per lattice site. Rapid free evaporation leads to phase space densities of 1/150 within 50 msec. The resulting small, high density atomic clouds are very attractive for a number of experiments, including ultracold Rydberg atom physics.

description: We discuss a novel cold dark matter candidate which is formed from the ordinary quarks during the QCD phase transition when the axion domain wall undergoes an unchecked collapse due to the tension in the wall. If a large number of quarks is trapped inside the bulk of a closed axion domain wall, the collapse stops due to the internal Fermi pressure. In this case the system in the bulk, may reach the critical density when it undergoes a phase transition to a color superconducting phase with the ground state being the quark condensate, similar to BCS theory. If this happens, the new state of matter representing the diquark condensate with a large baryon number B > 10^{20} becomes a stable soliton-like configuration. Consequently, it may serve as a novel cold dark matter candidate.

description: The scalar field associated with fluctuations in the positions of the two branes, the ``radion'', plays an important role determining the cosmology and collider phenomenology of the Randall-Sundrum solution to the hierarchy problem. It is now well known that the radion mass is of order the weak scale, and that its couplings to standard model fields are order 1/TeV to the trace of the energy momentum tensor. We calculate longitudinal vector boson scattering amplitudes to explore the constraints on the radion mass and its coupling from perturbative unitarity. The scattering cross section can indeed become non-perturbative at energies prior to reaching the TeV brane cutoff scale, but only when some curvature-Higgs mixing on the TeV brane is present. We show that the coefficient of the curvature-Higgs mixing operator must be less than about 3 for the 4-d effective theory to respect perturbative unitarity up to the TeV brane cutoff scale. Mass bounds on the Higgs boson and the radion are also discussed.

It is shown that the scattering amplitudes calculated in cutoff and subtractively renormalized EFT are equal up to the accuracy of performed calculations. Non-perturbative renormalization, where part of divergences are absorbed into two contact interaction coupling constants with subsequent removal of regularization is also performed. Cutoff and dimensional regularizations both lead to finite but different results within this scheme.

The Australian rice industry in relation to the international rice trade and its implications for Southeast Asian rice exporting countries
Creators: name: May, Khin San
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1979
Subjects: subject: Rice Australia

description: One of the main objectives of the study is to evaluate the likely competition in the international rice trade that Burma and Thailand may have to face from Australia in the future. However, before delving directly into that aspect it was necessary to trace the development of the Australian rice industry and factors attributing to it. It was found that the industry's early progress was owing to the high tariff protection it enjoyed, and also largely on account of the efficient planning and management of the Rice Marketing Board of New South Wales. The performance of the industry with specific reference to export growth in recent years, was analysed using a constant market share approach. The conclusion that could be drawn from the technical analysis is that over recent years the Australian rice industry has successfully diversified its export outlets towards markets which are growing faster than the world average. The analysis also shows that about half of its total increase in recent sales can be attributed to Australian competitiveness. This, besides changes in its prices relative to competition, also includes elements such as its aggressive selling, dependability of delivery dates, terms of sale and general adaptation to market force. On studying the potential growth of the Australian rice industry it was found that a significant expansion in Queensland, which at present supplies a minor share of total output, is unlikely, as sugar (which is a competing crop) will probably remain more profitable. Production of rice for export in the North is totally uneconomic owing to its present high cost structures. The region which has potential for expansion is New South Wales. This dominant grower can readily expand output by 10 per cent over the next 5 years but the salination problem of the Murray may preclude this. Thus strong competition from Australia to Burma and Thailand is unlikely in the foreseeable future. The second objective is to analyse the causes of the decline in Burmese rice export volumes and also that of Thailand in the late 1960s using the same technical analysis as in the case of Australia. From the analysis it could be concluded that both Burmese and Thai rice have an unfavourable market distribution of their exports. This study suggests Burma and Thailand should try to diversify their export outlets in order to increase their sales volume. They must also increase their competitiveness in world markets, especially Burma whose competitiveness is quite weak.

description: Invertible maps from operators of quantum obvservables onto functions of c-number arguments and their associative products are first assessed. Different types of maps like Weyl-Wigner-Stratonovich map and s-ordered quasidistribution are discussed. The recently introduced symplectic tomography map of observables (tomograms) related to the Heisenberg-Weyl group is shown to belong to the standard framework of the maps from quantum observables onto the c-number functions. The star-product for symbols of the quantum-observable for each one of the maps (including the tomographic map) and explicit relations among different star-products are obtained. Deformations of the Moyal star-product and alternative commutation relations are also considered.

The Unified Framework for Wave-Energy String Theory: A Unification Study of Wave Energy and Elementary Particles
Creators: name: lefliti, mohamed
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This paper presents a new unified framework based on the concept of wave energy as the foundation for explaining the structure of the universe. It is assumed that elementary particles are vibrational modes of wave energy, and fundamental forces (such as gravity and electromagnetism) are interference patterns of these waves. Spacetime itself is described as an energy network resulting from the interference of wave energy across multiple dimensions. The framework offers new predictions regarding the effects of extra dimensions, including explanations for dark matter and dark energy, and is used to analyze the energy levels of the hydrogen atom with corrections due to extra dimensions.
Constraining a general U(1)$^\prime$ inverse seesaw model from vacuum stability, dark matter and collider

description: We consider a class of gauged $U(1)$ extensions of the Standard Model (SM), where the light neutrino masses are generated by an inverse seesaw mechanism. In addition to the three right handed neutrinos, we add three singlet fermions and demand an extra $Z_2$ symmetry under which, the third generations of both of the neutral fermions are odd, which in turn gives us a stable dark matter candidate. We express the $U(1)$ charges of all the fermions in terms of the U(1) charges of the standard model Higgs and the new complex scalar. We study the bounds on the parameters of the model from vacuum stability, perturbative unitarity, dark matter relic density and direct detection constraints. We also obtain the collider constraints on the $Z'$ mass and the $U(1)'$ gauge coupling. Finally we compare all the bounds on the $Z'$ mass versus the $U(1)'$ gauge coupling plane.

Flood hazard on the Central Maitland flood plain, Lower Hunter Valley, NSW

description: In the past a major characteristic of human response to floods has been the attempt to control flood flows by the construction of flood mitigation works. This solution when implemented in isolation without adequate reference to other adjustments and social considerations, can lead to an aggrevation of the flood problem by encouraging further invasion onto the floodplain. This impact of flood mitigation works is examined by a case study of the structural works designed to protect the urban area of Central Maitland in the Lower Hunter Valley, New South Wales. These structures are the most sophisticated set or flood mitigation works in Australia. The pattern of flood mitigation expenditure, flood damage and floodplain occupance in Central Maitland is examined from the early 1950’s to the present. Using data from aerial photographs, the census, landuse planning reports and a survey administered in the study area it is shown that the flood damage potential of the Central Maitland floodplain is rising as a result of the accumulation of material wealth, improvements to existing floodplain properties and new and expanded business development on the floodplain. An attempt is made to relate this encroachment to the increased public confidence generated by the flood mitigation works. Generally speaking the floodplain residents and businessmen with positive attitudes to the levees have also undertaken improvements to their floodplain properties, however, more research is required to completely validate this conclusion. The impact of floodplain encroachment in the residential area has been reduced by floodplain landuse zoning restrictions. The Central Maitland community’s perception and attitudes to the flood hazard and other flood adjustments to protect their area are also evaluated using the data from a large scale survey of residents and businessmen. The study is set within a framework of comprehensive adjustments to floods for the Central Maitland area and is one of the few areas in Australia that has almost the complete range of adjustments to deal with this problem. An outline of the present flood mitigation policy and the policy implications of the study completes the project.
Improving efficiency of supercontinuum generation in photonic crystal fibers by direct degenerate four-wave-mixing

description: We numerically study supercontinuum (SC) generation in photonic crystal fibers pumped with low-power 30-ps pulses close to the zero dispersion wavelength 647nm. We show how the efficiency is significantly improved by designing the dispersion to allow widely separated spectral lines generated by degenerate four-wave-mixing (FWM) directly from the pump to broaden and merge. By proper modification of the dispersion profile the generation of additional FWM Stokes and anti-Stokes lines results in efficient generation of an 800nm wide SC. Simulations show that the predicted efficient SC generation is more robust and can survive fiber imperfections modelled as random fluctuations of the dispersion coefficients along the fiber length.

World rubber market structure and stabilisation : an econometric study
Creators: name: Tan, Choo Suan
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1982
Subjects: subject: Rubber industry and trade

description: This study examines some problems in the market for natural rubber, one of the ten core commodities proposed for stabilisation by a Common Fund to be established under the Integrated Programme for Commodities. The first part of this study is concerned with the specification, estimation and validation of an econometric model of the world natural and synthetic rubbers market. The highly disaggregated annual model for 1956-1978 consists of two submodels, one for each rubber and reflecting their different industrial organisations. Other salient features of the model are the long lagged structures and the interaction between the submodels through relative rubber prices in the demand equations. The model validation shows that the secular decline in natural rubber price up to 1973 was due primarily to the substitution of natural rubber by the cheaper synthetic rubbers and the falling natural rubber share. The second part of this study concerns the application of the model to forecast natural rubber price and to analyse the implications of natural rubber stabilisation along the lines of the International Natural Rubber Agreement. The impact of national government interventions in world commodity markets was also illustrated by an examination of the impact of changing Malaysian export taxes. Ex post and ex ante simulations of buffer stock stabilisation all showed the importance of the manner in which the buffer stock is operated. The results also show that stabilisation will have different effects for the producing and consuming countries and thus raise the question of funding of the buffer stocks.
