description: We take the JUNO experiment as an example to explore nuclearites in the future large liquid scintillator detector. Comparing to the previous calculations, the visible energy of nuclearites across the liquid scintillator will be reestimated for the liquid scintillator based detector. Then the JUNO sensitivities to the nuclearite flux are presented. It is found that the JUNO projected sensitivities can be better than $7.7 \times 10^{-17} {\rm cm^{-2} s^{-1} sr^{-1}}$ for the nuclearite mass $10^{15} \; {\rm GeV} \leq M \leq 10^{24}$ GeV and initial velocity $10^{-4} \leq β_0 \leq 10^{-1}$ with a 20 year running. Note that the JUNO will give the most stringent limits for downgoing nuclearites with $1.6 \times 10^{13} \; {\rm GeV} \leq M \leq 4.0 \times 10^{15}$ GeV and a typical galactic velocity $β_0 = 10^{-3}$.

description: This study provides novel evidence about the pension wealth elasticity of employment. For the identification we exploit reform-induced variation of pension wealth that is related to the number of children but which does not affect the implicit tax rate of employment. We use a difference-in-differences estimator based on administrative data from the German pension insurance and find that, on average, the negative employment effect of pension wealth is significant and economically important. Heterogeneity analyses document a strong age pattern showing that the employment effects are driven by behavioral responses of women close to retirement. The age pattern is partly explained by the positive effect of pension wealth on disability pensions after the age of 60.

description: Previous measurements of heat redistribution efficiency (the ability to transport energy from a planet's highly irradiated dayside to its eternally dark nightside) show considerable variation between exoplanets. Theoretical models predict a positive correlation between heat redistribution efficiency and temperature for tidally locked planets; however, recent HST WASP-43b spectroscopic phase curve results are inconsistent with current predictions. Using the Spitzer Space Telescope, we obtained a total of three phase curve observations of WASP-43b (P=0.813 days) at 3.6 and 4.5 microns. The first 3.6 micron visit exhibits spurious nightside emission that requires invoking unphysical conditions in our cloud-free atmospheric retrievals. The two other visits exhibit strong day-night contrasts that are consistent with the HST data. To reconcile the departure from theoretical predictions, WASP-43b would need to have a high-altitude, nightside cloud/haze layer blocking its thermal emission. Clouds/hazes could be produced within the planet's cool, nearly retrograde mid-latitude flows before dispersing across its nightside at high altitudes. Since mid-latitude flows only materialize in fast-rotating ($\lesssim1$ day) planets, this may explain an observed trend connecting measured day-night contrast with planet rotation rate that matches all current Spitzer phase curve results. Combining independent planetary emission measurements from multiple phases, we obtain a precise dayside hemisphere H2O abundance ($2.5\times 10^{-5} - 1.1\times 10^{-4}$ at 1$σ$ confidence) and, assuming chemical equilibrium and a scaled solar abundance pattern, we derive a corresponding metallicity estimate that is consistent with being solar (0.4 -- 1.7). Using the retrieved global CO+CO2 abundance under the same assumptions, we estimate a comparable metallicity of 0.3 - 1.7$\times$ solar. (Abridged)

description: Nanophotonics and metamaterials have revolutionised the way we think about optical space (epsilon, mu), enabling us to engineer the refractive index almost at will, to confine light to the smallest of the volumes, and to manipulate optical signals with extremely small footprints and energy requirements. Significant efforts are now devoted to finding suitable materials and strategies for the dynamic control of the optical properties. Transparent conductive oxides exhibit large ultrafast nonlinearities under both interband and intraband excitations. Here, we show that combining these two effects in aluminium-doped zinc oxide via a two colour laser field discloses new material functionalities. Owing to the independence of the two nonlinearities the ultrafast temporal dynamics of the material permittivity can be designed by acting on the amplitude and delay of the two fields. We demonstrate the potential applications of this novel degree of freedom by dynamically addressing the modulation bandwidth and optical spectral tuning of a probe optical pulse.

Dynamical instability of a driven-dissipative electron-hole condensate in the BCS-BEC-crossover region

description: We present a stability analysis on a driven-dissipative electron-hole condensate in the BCS (Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer)-BEC (Bose-Einstein-condensation)-crossover region. Extending the combined BCS-Leggett theory with the generalized random phase approximation (GRPA) to the non-equilibrium case by employing the Keldysh formalism, we show that the pumping-and-decay of carriers causes a depairing effect on excitons. This phenomenon gives rise to an attractive interaction between excitons in the BEC regime, as well as a supercurrent that anomalously flows anti-parallel to $\nabla θ({\bf r})$ (where $θ({\bf r})$ is the phase of the condensate) in the BCS regime, both leading to dynamical instabilities of an exciton-BEC. Our result suggests that substantial region of the exciton-BEC phase in the phase diagram (in terms of the interaction strength and the decay rate) is unstable.

The uses of relevance theory for the study of explicitation and implicitation: the case of the Indonesian translations of Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath and Of Mice and Men

description: This study investigates the use of the techniques of ‘explicitation’ and ‘implicitation’ in literary translation. The data is derived from the translations into Indonesian of two novels by American author John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath (1939) and Of Mice and Men (1937), as, respectively, Amarah by Sapardi Djoko Damono (2000) and Tikus dan Manusia by Pramoedya Ananta Toer (2003). A total of 513 items of explicitation and implicitation (‘de-explicitation’) were obtained from the first eight chapters of Sapardi’s translation and a further 451 items from the first chapter of Pramoedya’s translation. The items of explicitation and de-explicitation were further categorized with reference to possible reasons for their use: increase in clarity, greater naturalness, conciseness, stylistic effect, the modification of tone, and syntactical cohesion. To refine the study of explicitation and implicitation, a typology of ‘scalar’ and ‘categorical’ explicitation and de-explicitation within translations has been developed, drawing from the distinction in Relevance Theory between ‘explicature’ and ‘implicature’. An explicature is an inferential development of the logical form or semantic representation of an utterance; whereas an implicature is meaning derived purely by inference. Further, ‘scalar’ shifts are shifts of explicitation or de-explicitation within explicatures. ‘Categorical’ shifts, on the other hand, are more broadly based shifts between explicature and implicature: either involving a shift of explicitation or de-explicitation from an implicature to an explicature, or, conversely, from an explicature to an implicature. The results show that most of the shifts in the two translations are scalar shifts within explicatures, and are therefore closely related to meanings which are already present within the ST. There are also significant differences between the two translators: Sapardi makes greater use of explicitation for the sake of naturalness and clarity, while Pramoedya shows a greater tendency towards de-explicitation for the sake of conciseness and style. It is hoped that this study may shed more light on the elusive nature of the concepts of explicitation and implicitation by providing an alternative approach in examining the translation phenomena.
The transformative charisma phenomenon in Islamist radicalism and militancy : a micro- and macro- level analysis.

description: Despite broad recognition in the scholarly field that charismatic leaders play an important role in the emergence and evolution of Islamist radicalism and militancy, few significant studies exist that are devoted exclusively to examining the charismatic leadership phenomenon in Islamist radicalism and militancy. This paradox that defines the pre-existing body of scholarship reflects a tentativeness to use charismatic leadership theory as an analytical paradigm through which to understand the complex and multifarious nuances that drive Islamist radicalism and militancy. This study seeks to address this paradox in the field and demonstrate the utility of charismatic leadership theory as a powerful analytical paradigm via a micro-and macro-level analysis of the charismatic leadership phenomenon in Islamist radicalism and militancy. This thesis argues that, at a micro-level, charismatic leaders act as vehicles for the evolutionary development of modem Islamist radicalism and militancy by strategically constructing charismatic images and narratives that simultaneously exacerbate and provide a solution to their followers' perceptions of crisis. At a macro-level, this thesis argues that the Transformative Charisma Phenomenon in Islamist radicalism and militancy (TCPIRM) has produced complex chains of charismatic leaders due to individual leaders emerging, at least in part, by building upon the charismatic •capital of preceding charismatic leaders. This thesis develops a suite of theoretical paradigms, the centrepiece of which is an innovatively multidisciplinary theory of charismatic leadership that introduces the concept of transformative routinisation to the field, that provides the conceptual frameworks for four case studies featuring Hassan al-Banna (Colonial Period), Sayyid Qutb (post-Colonial Period), Abdullah Azzam (Modem Period I) and Osama Bin Laden (Modem Period II). At a micro-level, the case studies draw on an exhaustive body of primary sources to examine the complex interplay of factors that shaped the charismatic appeal of each charismatic leader. At a macro-level, this thesis identifies and analyses a chain of charismatic leaders stretching from the Islamist modernist Jamal aI-Afghani of the late-1800s to Osama Bin Laden and beyond. This thesis thus facilitates a broader examination of the complex nuances that drive the rise and evolution of radical and militant Islamism; bringing into acute focus the critical role of perceptions of crisis and cognitive identity paradigms in the emergence of radical and militant groups.

Mathematical modelling of hepatopancreatic digestive cell of the blue mussel
Creators: name: McVeigh, Allan
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2008

description: The lysosomal system of the hepatopancreatic digestive cell of the mussel (Mytilus sp.) is critical in intracellular food degradation, toxic responses and internal cellular turnover. Mathematical and numerical models are developed to simulate the responses of this system to varying conditions, dietary and toxicological. The model evolution encompasses: inclusion of glycogen/lipid storage forms; extrapolation to include nitrogen metabolism; development of rate of endocytosis and food signal; increased functionality of endo/lysosomes; shift to protein/carbohydrate/lipid based model; and the incorporation of the cost of normal Sanction and replacement of damaged components. Control is asserted through control of cytosolic concentrations: the intial assumption of constant carbon concentration is shown to be unacceptable for later models. A control algorithm is developed which regulates cell volume by the ratio of proteinaceous material to energy forms. Endocytosis is shown to be the main determinant behind routine cellular behaviour. Observed phasic behaviour of the digestive tubules is incorporated into the cellular behavioural pattern. A probability-based model for the rate of endocytosis is developed. Increased autophagy as the sole response to toxic injury is found to be inadequate to explain observed responses. It is proposed to complement this response with impairment of lysosomal efficiency to explain this inadequacy. Toxic injury is implemented through an increase in the rates of damage to cellular components. Within the lysosome this leads to a reduction in the concentration of digestive enzymes inhibiting lysosomal performance and, in conjunction with the enhanced autophagy due to increased cytosolic damage, invoking the lysosomal swelling commonly observed.

description: Recent experiments revealed intriguing similarities in the $^{64}$Ni+$^{207}$Pb, $^{132}$Xe+$^{208}$Pb, and $^{238}$U+$^{238}$U reactions at energies around the Coulomb barrier. The experimental data indicate that for all systems substantial energy dissipation takes place, in the first stage of the reaction, although the number of transferred nucleons is small. On the other hand, in the second stage, a large number of nucleons are transferred with small friction and small consumption of time. To understand the observed behavior, various reactions were analyzed based on the microscopic time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory. From a systematic analysis for $^{40,48}$Ca+$^{124}$Sn, $^{40}$Ca+$^{208}$Pb, $^{40}$Ar+$^{208}$Pb, $^{58}$Ni+$^{208}$Pb, $^{64}$Ni+$^{238}$U, $^{136}$Xe+ $^{198}$Pt, and $^{238}$U+$^{238}$U reactions, we find that TDHF reproduces well the measured trends. In addition, the Balian-Vénéroni variational principle is applied to head-on collisions of $^{238}$U+$^{238}$U, and the variance of the fragment masses is compared with the experimental data, showing significant improvement. The underlying reaction mechanisms and possible future studies are discussed.

Ein angemessener Umgang mit Fehlern geht also über die Schaffung einer angstfreien Atmosphäre und das gezielte Thematisieren von Fehlern deutlich hinaus, die oft allein im Zentrum einer neuen Fehlerkultur stehen. In diesem Kurzbeitrag werden zwei dafür zentrale Forschungstraditionen zusammengebracht (vgl. Prediger 2007 für eine ausführlichere Darstellung vieler Aspekte).

Local e-government: politics and civic participation
Creators: name: Freeman, Julie
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis analyses how the relationship between elected representatives, policy frameworks and evolving policy processes impacts upon local electronic government (e-government) and the provision of online contexts for civic participation. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) such as the Internet and World Wide Web are embedded in many citizens’ everyday lives. Governments, however, have been slow to respond to technological changes that enable increased interaction and advanced two-way communication with citizens. The case study presented is the Victorian municipality of the City of Casey in Melbourne’s south-east, with a population of over 259,000. Like many Australian local governments, Casey utilises the Internet to offer increased information dissemination through its website (www.casey.vic.gov.au), but offers limited opportunities for policy discussion that might facilitate citizen involvement in decision-making. Casey is, nonetheless, well situated to trial and implement online participatory practices – for reasons of scale, infrastructure, financial resources, and civic access to ICTs. Implementing a ‘grounded’ methodological approach, the thesis undertakes a document analysis of Casey’s policies and strategies, and semi-structured interviews with Casey Councillors in order to examine the council’s impact on the development and implementation of online mechanisms for civic participation. The research concludes that a combination of insufficient policy documentation and the contentious motives and actions of policy actors are restricting e-government development. Advancing e-government demands a more integrated approach that combines federal guidance with local knowledge. Additionally, increased awareness is needed amongst Casey’s policy-makers about ICTs, the value of civic involvement, and the potential benefits and risks associated with online civic participation. These findings arise out of changing communicative and democratic practices and need to be recognised and addressed by governments if online initiatives are to enable civic engagement. Ultimately, e-government must be understood and approached as both a technological and political matter.

description: Corruption, a pervasive force impacting political, economic, and social spheres, poses a formidable barrier to development and undermines the credibility of government institutions. This study scrutinizes the far-reaching consequences of corruption within the civil service, emphasizing its deleterious effects on the supply of public goods and services, as well as the broader socio-economic development of affected states. The nexus between corruption, abuse of public power for private gain, and the exacerbation of poverty-related challenges is a focal point of investigation.

The detrimental implications of corruption on economic growth and democratic transition are underscored, drawing from the assertion that corruption in the civil service entails the illicit manipulation of delegated authority. As elucidated by Adam (2015), civil servants, entrusted with delegated authority, engage in unlawful practices that compromise the integrity of public service tasks. This not only impedes bureaucratic progress but also hampers development efforts, exacerbating poverty through low income, diminished health and education services, and heightened vulnerability to economic shocks.

The study examines the multifaceted dimensions of corruption within the civil service, shedding light on its intricate role in hindering political institutions and derailing developmental trajectories. By exploring the intersections of corruption, abuse of power, and socio-economic challenges, this research contributes to the discourse on anti-corruption strategies and institutional reforms. The findings aim to inform policymakers and practitioners seeking effective measures to curb corruption within civil service structures, ultimately fostering a more transparent and accountable governance framework

description: In diesem Beitrag geht es in transatlantischer Perspektive auf Literaturgeschichte und mit Fokus auf dem Potential von historischem Zeitschriftenmaterial um die Relevanz von Fragen zu Übersetzungs- und Transferprozessen im Kontext neuerer und neuester Regionalisierungstendenzen in der interdisziplinären Germanistik in Brasilien. Es wird zudem gezeigt, dass diese Tendenzen mit aktuellen Reflexionen Alois Wierlachers (2020) koinzidieren, der die Germanistik als kooperativ orientierte Regionalwissenschaft der deutschsprachigen Welt in einem globalen Kontext fokussiert.
description: This article takes a transatlantic perspective on literary history and focuses on the potential of historic periodical material to address the relevance of questions about processes of translation and transfer in the context of recent and latest regionalization tendencies in interdisciplinary German studies in Brazil. It is further shown that these tendencies coincide with current reflections by Alois Wierlacher (2020), who focuses on German studies as a cooperatively oriented Regional science of the German-speaking world in a global context.
Fractured lives, digital selves: Iraqi women’s warblogs and the wilderness of cyberspace

description: The Iraq war blogosphere is a place of loose ends, fragments and moments in time. It is a space shaped by conversations, contradiction, opinions and life stories. Time is compressed by archive functions and selves are fractured by dates and posts. As I pull various threads together figures appear on the horizon, shaping the wilderness of this digital landscape. Here I encounter young sisters HNK and Aunt Najma, Neurotic Iraqi Wife, Riverbend and Faiza. In this space I am not analysing a text. It is not just a story. I am delving into a history of thoughts, reflections, and memories where the troublesome past meets the possible future. A ‘sense’ or part of who these women are lies in these fragments, in my practice of reading their blogs, and of lurking in the Iraq war blogosphere. This thesis provides a critique of what it means to be a woman – to be a mother, a worker, a sister, a University student – in post-invasion Iraq, and a critique of what it means for me – a white, Australian woman – to speak about Iraqi women’s experiences. I draw upon Foucault’s late ‘ethical’ work to argue that weblogs provide a real-time, unfolding, reflexive, and often inter-active window into particular life-worlds and into selves that shift and move and exist in tension between a variety of digital and non digital spaces. I engage with five particular Iraqi women who shape a digital-self in the wilderness of cyberspace. I explore the tensions between the various ways women practice a self in/between different fields of possibility in Iraq, such as the workplace, marketplace, school, or home (Foucault, 1997a: 291). I encounter these practices of the self as stories of choice, of decisions made amidst a sea of possibilities, encouragements, and right decisions (Foucault, 1982: 212). The ways in which HNK, Neurotic Iraqi Wife, Aunt Najma, Riverbend and Faiza, practice freedom and negotiate power across digital and non-digital fields, shapes the very fields the bloggers engage with. In a time of war, chaos and often deadly uncertainties digital-selves speak to the malleable limits and possibilities of discursive fields. These women enable us to see the local, embodied repercussions of a global struggle, the sites where encouragement and coercion meet, and where choice and practice converge.

description: Machine learning and data mining algorithms are becoming increasingly important in analyzing large volume, multi-relational and multi--modal datasets, which are often conveniently represented as multiway arrays or tensors. It is therefore timely and valuable for the multidisciplinary research community to review tensor decompositions and tensor networks as emerging tools for large-scale data analysis and data mining. We provide the mathematical and graphical representations and interpretation of tensor networks, with the main focus on the Tucker and Tensor Train (TT) decompositions and their extensions or generalizations. Keywords: Tensor networks, Function-related tensors, CP decomposition, Tucker models, tensor train (TT) decompositions, matrix product states (MPS), matrix product operators (MPO), basic tensor operations, multiway component analysis, multilinear blind source separation, tensor completion, linear/multilinear dimensionality reduction, large-scale optimization problems, symmetric eigenvalue decomposition (EVD), PCA/SVD, huge systems of linear equations, pseudo-inverse of very large matrices, Lasso and Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) (This is Part 1)

American social sciences and Europeanization: theories of integration in the early 1950s
Creators: name: Anderson, Flora McIntyre
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis seeks to investigate the influence of American intellectual trends, namely structural functionalism, on the first fifteen years of Europeanization after the end of World War Two. In particular, it examines the role played by German intellectual refugees in the development of neofunctionalist theories of integration that accompanied American policymaking in this era by focusing on the work of Karl Deutsch and Ernst Haas in the 1940s and 1950s. It analyses their account of the conditions in Europe that led to WWII and of the action required on the part of the USA to encourage western Europe back onto the path of successful modernization, defined with reference to the historical example of American federalism. It highlights the specifically technocratic conception of democracy that underpinned the neofunctionalist theories of European integration, and points to enduring imprint of this on contemporary European institutions.

description: Electrospinning is a nanotechnology process whereby an external electric field is used to accelerate and stretch a charged polymer jet, so as to produce fibers with nanoscale diameters. In quest of a further reduction in the cross section of electrified jets hence of a better control on the morphology of the resulting electrospun fibers, we explore the effects of an external rotating electric field orthogonal to the jet direction. Through extensive particle simulations, it is shown that by a proper tuning of the electric field amplitude and frequency, a reduction of up to a $30 \%$ in the aforementioned radius can be obtained, thereby opening new perspectives in the design of future ultra-thin electrospun fibres. Applications can be envisaged in the fields of nanophotonic components as well as for designing new and improved filtration materials.

description: A coupled spin-electron diamond chain with localized Ising spins placed on its nodal sites and mobile electrons delocalized over interstitial sites is explored in a magnetic field taking into account the difference between Landé g-factors of the localized spins and mobile electrons. The ground-state phase diagram is constituted by two classical ferrimagnetic phases, the quantum unsaturated paramagnetic phase and the saturated paramagnetic phase. Both classical ferrimagnetic phases as well as the unsaturated paramagnetic phase are reflected in a low-temperature magnetization curve as intermediate magnetization plateaus. The unsaturated paramagnetic phase is quantum in its character as evidenced by the fermionic concurrence calculated for a pair of the mobile electrons hopping in between the interstitial sites. It is shown that the magnetic field can under certain conditions induce a quantum entanglement above the disentangled ground state.

description: The aim of this research is to examine the women's movement in Iran through a multifaceted study of the movement from its peak in the mid 1900s through the end of the reformist government in Iran in 2005. This study aims to identify and analyze the obstacles that the Iranian women's movement has been facing throughout its history and to show the new opportunities which have been arising in different periods of the movement. Regarding the evolutionary function of the women's movement in Iran after the Islamic revolution of 1979, the main focus of this research is a study of the dynamics and consequences of the women's movement under the regime of the Islamic Republic. This thesis examines the factors which have influenced the women's movement in Iran and the role of dynamic fiqh in the improvement of women's status. To address the above mentioned questions, the author begins with the examination of the Iranian women's movement historically and maps the shifts occurred in the women's movement over time with respect to the employed languages and strategies in the movement. The thesis then provides an exploration of the gender policies of the state demonstrated through the laws passed by the legislation. Through an analysis of the interrelationships between the state, civil society and the women's movement in Iran, the author argues that the pursuance of Iranian women's rights is part of the process of democratization in the country. The thesis elucidates the implications of new religious thought in Iranian women's issues and analyzes the possibilities of improving Iranian women's status in light of the ideas of this strand of thought. The author concludes that the present-day women's movement in Iran endeavors to promote a pragmatic feminism which respects cultural and ideological differences between women's groups. The central goal of this pragmatic feminism is to solve the tangible problems of Iranian women and to increase the effectiveness of the women's movement.
