description: The current explosive growth of global consumption has caused many environmental problems, so guiding and regulating the public’s green consumption intention and behavior is an important issue. By constructing the tourist green consumption model of urban and rural tourism destinations (TAM-TPB), this paper uses the PLS-SEM method to expound the realization path and mechanism of tourists’ green consumption intention in urban and rural destinations. The TAM-TPB model provides better explanatory and predictive power for urban destinations than for rural destinations. In addition, the perceived usefulness plays a significant mediating effect, especially in urban destinations, and the green consumption attitude will not mediate or directly affect consumption intention. Finally, there is a certain gap in tourists’ green consumption intention between urban and rural destinations, but it is limited to the paths from perceived ease of use to consumption attitude and from subjective norm to consumption intention.HighlightsThe paper studies the realization path and mechanism of tourists’ green consumption intention in urban and rural tourism destinations.The paper first applies TAM to tourism green consumption field, constructing the model of TAM-TPB by PLS-SEM.The TAM-TPB model provides better explanatory and predictive power for urban destinations than for rural destinations.The green consumption attitude does not mediate or directly impact consumption intention.The findings will contribute to enrich the theoretical system of tourism green consumption research and provide practical references for the guidance of public green consumption behavior and the transformation of green consumption.

description: In this paper we employ the construction of Dirac bracket for the remaining current of $sl(2)_q$ deformed Kac-Moody algebra when constraints similar to those connecting the $sl(2)$-WZW model and the Liouville theory are imposed and show that it satisfy the q-Virasoro algebra proposed by Frenkel and Reshetikhin. The crucial assumption considered in our calculation is the existence of a classical Poisson bracket algebra induced, in a consistent manner by the correspondence principle, mapping the quantum generators into commuting objects of classical nature preserving their algebra.

description: In this paper we generalize to the case of diluted spin models and random combinatorial optimization problems a technique recently introduced by Guerra (cond-mat/0205123) to prove that the replica method generates variational bounds for disordered systems. We analyze a family of models that includes the Viana-Bray model, the diluted p-spin model or random XOR-SAT problem, and the random K-SAT problem, showing that the replica method provides an improvable scheme to obtain lower bounds of the free-energy at all temperatures and of the ground state energy. In the case of K-SAT the replica method thus gives upper bounds of the satisfiability threshold.

description: A series of pyridinium-based chiral ionic liquid crystals (ILCs) and the intermediated, non-ionic ones (NILCs), were designed and synthesised. All ILCs exhibit enantiotropic SmA phases, while all NILCs exhibit enantiotropic cholesteric and SmA phases. In addition, few of NILCs and ILCs exhibit enantiotropic SmC* phases. Due to the Coulombic force, the clearing points of the ILCs are higher than those of the corresponding NILCs. For ILCs, the lateral fluoro-substitution not only decreases the clearing points, but also drives the formation of bilayer molecular packing structures at the smectic phases.

description: Low-temperature transport spectroscopy measurements on a quantum dot lithographically defined in a multiwall $\mathrm{MoS}_2$ nanotube are demonstrated. At $T=300\,\mathrm{mK}$, clear Coulomb blockade is observed, with charging energies in the range of 1 meV. In single-electron tunneling, discrete conductance resonances are visible at finite bias. Additionally, a magnetic field perpendicular to the nanotube axis reveals clear indications of quantum state transitions, with effective $g$ factors consistent with published theoretical predictions.

description: This paper describes in outline a method for translating Japanese temporal expressions into English. We argue that temporal expressions form a special subset of language that is best handled as a special module in machine translation. The paper deals with problems of lexical idiosyncrasy as well as the choice of articles and prepositions within temporal expressions. In addition temporal expressions are considered as parts of larger structures, and the question of whether to translate them as noun phrases or adverbials is addressed.

Matter Power Spectrum of Light Freeze-in Dark Matter: With or without Self-Interaction
Creators: name: Huo, Ran
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the free-streaming effect in a light freeze-in dark matter model. Naturally in the dark sector one can find dark matter related coupling, and such coupling may induce dark matter self-scattering. In case that such scattering is subdominant, the dark matter partition function is not thermal but determined by the freeze-in process, yet its high momentum side is generally also Boltzmann suppressed. We show that the matter power spectrum is very similar to a warm dark matter one in shape. When matched to the current WDM bound, a $24$~keV freeze-in dark matter is ruled out at $2σ$ confidence level. In case that the dark matter self-scattering is strong and decouples at a very late time, by a new numerical calculation we show that the early stage Brownian motion indeed protects the power spectrum against free-streaming suppression. However, such an effect cannot be characterized by a free-streaming length alone; we find that the self-scattering decoupling time is another necessary parameter. The currently interested dark matter self-interaction cross section $\sim\text{cm}^2/\text{g}$ is just marginal for such protection to be effective.

description: In this study, three representative concentration pathways (RCPs) and 15 general circulation models of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 were used to assess the behaviour of precipitation (P) and surface air temperature (SAT) over part of the Songhua River Basin. The Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) model linked with SAT and P was used for monthly simulation of streamflow to assess the influence of land use/land cover and climate change on the streamflow. The results suggest that, under RCP2.6, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, the SAT over the study area may increase in the 21st century by 1.12, 2.44 and 5.82°C, respectively. Moreover, by the middle of the 21st century, streamflow in the basin may have decreased by 19%. The decrease in streamflow may be due to changed land use conditions and water withdrawal, having critical implications for management and future planning of water resources in the basin.
Rational intention, rational action
Creators: name: Mintoff, Joseph
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1993

description: Sometimes, the intentions most promoting one's interests might result in the performance of actions not most promoting one's interests. For example, being the sort of person who intends to keep promises might most promote one's interests - since then others would be more inclined to enter into beneficial agreements with one - even though some of the resulting actions of promise-keeping do not most promote one's interests. A plausible view about the nature of rationality is that the rational intentions for an agent to have are those which most promote their interests, but what are we to say when such intentions result in the performance of actions not most promoting their interests? On the one hand, some say that since such actions are the result of intentions it is plausibly rational to have, then they too must be rational: on this view of the matter, if it is rational to have or to adopt a certain intention, then it is always rational to act upon it. On the other hand, others say that since such actions do not most promote the agent's interests, then they must be irrational: on this view of the matter, since the rational intentions are those which most promote the agent's interests, then surely the rational actions must also always be those most promoting the agent's interests. What, then, is the relation between the rationality of intention and that of action? Addressing this issue is the task for this thesis.
Out-of-horizon correlations following a quench in a relativistic quantum field theory

description: One of the manifestations of relativistic invariance in non-equilibrium quantum field theory is the "horizon effect" a.k.a. light-cone spreading of correlations: starting from an initially short-range correlated state, measurements of two observers at distant space-time points are expected to remain independent until their past light-cones overlap. Surprisingly, we find that in the presence of topological excitations correlations can develop outside of horizon and indeed even between infinitely distant points. We demonstrate this effect for a wide class of global quantum quenches to the sine-Gordon model. We point out that besides the maximum velocity bound implied by relativistic invariance, clustering of initial correlations is required to establish the "horizon effect". We show that quenches in the sine-Gordon model have an interesting property: despite the fact that the initial states have exponentially decaying correlations and cluster in terms of the bosonic fields, they violate the clustering condition for the soliton fields, which is argued to be related to the non-trivial field topology. The nonlinear dynamics governed by the solitons makes the clustering violation manifest also in correlations of the local bosonic fields after the quench.

description: The time evolution of the extremely diluted Blume-Emery-Griffiths neural network model is studied, and a detailed equilibrium phase diagram is obtained exhibiting pattern retrieval, fluctuation retrieval and self-sustained activity phases. It is shown that saddle-point solutions associated with fluctuation overlaps slow down considerably the flow of the network states towards the retrieval fixed points. A comparison of the performance with other three-state networks is also presented.

description: The Faddeev AGS equations are solved for coupled-channels $\bar{K}NN-πΣ{N}$ system with quantum numbers $I=1/2$ and $S=0$. Using separable potentials for $\bar{K}N-πΣ$ interaction, we have calculated the transition probability for the $(Y_{K})_{I=0}+N\rightarrowπΣ{N}$ reaction. The possibility to observe the trace of $K^{-}pp$ quasi-bound state in the $πΣ{N}$ mass spectra was studied. Various types of chiral based and phenomenological potentials are used to describe the $\bar{K}N-πΣ$ interaction. It was shown that not only we can see the signature of the $K^{-}pp$ quasi-bound state in the mass spectra, but also, one can see the trace of branch points in the observables.

description: This thesis argues that recurrent, if not systemic, shortcomings exist in university practice and procedure in the handling of student discipline. Such shortcomings especially (but not exclusively) relate to institutional adherence to norms of fair procedure. While these shortcomings may not be fatal to basic functioning of university discipline, the findings in this study advert to the need for serious, sustained and transparent attention to this area of quasi-judicial administration. The thesis represents a legal and empirical investigation of student disciplinary decision-making in Australian public universities. It commences with contextual analysis of the history of the Australian university system and present public policy settings. The investigation then embarks on a study of the legal character of the student-university relationship, the nature of disciplinary action in respect of students in higher education (including its historical character), and reference to empirical literature on this subject-matter. Original findings on rates of student disciplinary action at selected Australian universities are also included. The central part of the empirical research comprises analysis of institutions' disciplinary measures and conduct as considered in respect of key legal standards applying to universities, notably the provision of procedural fairness to students. Additionally, the empirical analysis considers other issues of legality in disciplinary decision-making within the administrative law framework, as well as consideration of wider issues, such as the impact of university commercialisation on disciplinary systems. The thesis concludes with an overview of findings and results, with proposals for reform to university disciplinary arrangements and to mechanisms for review of university decisions.

description: The quantum theory can be formulated in the language of positive functionals on Weyl or Clifford algebra ($L$-functionals). It is shown that this language gives simple understanding of diagrams of Keldysh formalism (that coincide in our case with the diagrams of thermo-field dynamics). The matrix elements of the scattering matrix in the formalism of $L$-functionals are related to inclusive cross-sections, therefore we suggest the name "inclusive scattering matrix" for this notion. The inclusive scattering matrix can be expressed in terms of on-shell values of generalized Green functions. This notion is necessary if we want to analyze collisions of quasiparticles.

description: 2D Percolation path exponents $x^{\cal P}_{\ell}$ describe probabilities for traversals of annuli by $\ell$ non-overlapping paths, each on either occupied or vacant clusters, with at least one of each type. We relate the probabilities rigorously to amplitudes of $O(N=1)$ models whose exponents, believed to be exact, yield $x^{\cal P}_{\ell}=({\ell}^2-1)/12$. This extends to half-integers the Saleur--Duplantier exponents for $k=\ell/2$ clusters, yields the exact fractal dimension of the external cluster perimeter, $D_{EP}=2-x^{\cal P}_3=4/3$, and also explains the absence of narrow gate fjords, as originally found by Grossman and Aharony.

description: Functional brain changes occur rapidly by alterations in synaptic activity, or more slowly, typified by changes in synaptic density and functional neurochemistry. Functional MRI has focused more on the prior than the latter, even though slow brain changes are important for normal brain function and for many brain disorders. With this in mind, I have adapted and optimized MRI-based tools in mice designed to measure ‘slow functional’ changes in the brain - slow changes in linked to synaptic density or slow changes in functional neurochemistry.
      First, I developed and optimized a series of tools that can map cerebral blood volume (CBV) across the cortical mantle and within cortical layers. I show that this reflects the known functional architecture of the mouse brain and use a whisker-cutting paradigm to show that this approach is sensitive to slow changes in synaptic density.
      Second, I demonstrate the utility of this approach for mapping slow changes in the brain associated with disease, by pinpointing changes in synaptic density in a novel mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease.
      Third, I implemented and optimized in mice an MR spectroscopy technique designed to measure changes in two neurotransmitters, GABA, and glutamate. I then demonstrate the translational capabilities of this approach by identifying glutamate abnormalities in the brains of patients in the prodromal stages of schizophrenia.

description: This thesis covers the area of soundfield representation, reconstruction and perception. The complexity and information content of a soundfield presents many mathematical and engineering challenges for accurate reconstruction. After an in-depth review of the field of mathematical soundfield representation, an analysis of the numerical and practical constraints for soundfield reconstruction is presented. A review of work in experimental psycho-acoustics higlights the variability of spatial sound perception. It is shown that the error and uncertainty in perception is of a comparable magnitude to the accuracy achievable by present soundfield systems. Therefore, the effects of hearing adaption, sensory bias, sensory conflict, and contextual memory cannot be ignored. If the listening environment is inappropriate or in conflict with the desired perceptual experience, little is gained from more complex soundfield representation or reconstruction. The imp! lications of this result to the delivery of spatial audio is discussed and some open problems for further exploration and experimentation are detailed.
title: Bayesian Inference Approach for Geomaterial Characterisation and Evaluation of Soil-Structure Interactions

description: In this study, a general Bayesian framework was developed to evaluate geomaterials and soil-structure interactions induced by deep excavations. Two variants of the Bayesian inference method were adopted for different geotechnical studies: (i) Bayesian Regression and (ii) Bayesian Network, combining data training, validation and updating into one robust framework. Firstly, a methodology combining the Bayesian Generalised Linear Model (a variant of Bayesian Regression), Bayesian variable selection and Bayesian updating was applied to two established and published laboratory-based case studies for geomaterial characterisation. A case study on fly ash-based geopolymer concrete was used to demonstrate the implementation of the methodology. Another case study involving sustainable cementitious blends was used to assess the robustness of the proposed framework since the two studies had very different mix design requirements. The proposed framework was capable of inferring past studies to estimate the design parameters and improve the state of knowledge through the updating process so that more reliable predictions could be obtained. Then, a framework combining the Gaussian Bayesian Network (a variant of Bayesian Network) and Bayesian updating was proposed to study the complex soil-structure interactions induced by deep excavations. Three established case studies collected from the literature were used to implement the proposed methodology. Besides, the two-dimensional finite element method via PLAXIS 2D was used to simulate deep excavations in clay for the first two case studies to generate ground and wall responses caused by the excavations for training and updating the developed model. The third case study which involved a deep excavation in sand was then used to validate the proposed framework. The developed Bayesian model successfully estimated the ground and wall responses such as wall deflections, bending moments of retaining wall and ground surface settlements with good accuracy through the sequential updating process. The implementation of the proposed methodology in this study was carried out in RStudio using R programming language. The original R script was written based on the general process flow established for the proposed Bayesian framework to execute the implementation process. The successful implementation and validation of the developed Bayesian framework show that the research aims of characterising geomaterials and evaluating complex soil-structure interactions in deep excavations through inference using existing data and sequential updating process were achieved.

Adapting the Architectural Avant-Garde: A design proposal for Paul Rudolph’s Orange County Government Center

description: As culture and technology evolve, how will modern architecture fare? The thoughtful and deliberate adaptation of and addition to a work of modern architecture can be a means to salvage it from the grips of obsolescence by creating a radical new work. This thesis explores the history of obsolescence in architecture through the twentieth century and its entanglement with the avant-garde. It addresses the difficulty of adapting and adding to modern architecture of the recent past, which has yet to accrue age value or appreciation by the general public, and is still in the process of being understood within the field of architecture itself. It explores in particular the complexities of working with the architecture of Paul Rudolph that has waned in functionality and popularity, focusing on the controversial case of the Orange County Government Center, which has posed a great challenge to preservation efforts. While modern architecture continues and will continue to hold value and meaning for our society, myriad forces are working against its durability. As architecture becomes increasingly entwined with and dependent upon technologies, systems and materials that have shorter lifespans, buildings themselves are threatened with obsolescence. We must therefore carry modern architecture into the future, not as a relic but with renewed functionality and significance. As a result, an entirely new architecture can be created that is richer in meaning and succeeds in meeting the increasing complexity and accelerating flux of contemporary life. The avant-garde is inherently bound to obsolescence, championing innovation and progress while declaring all that preceded obsolete; the avant-garde leaves obsolescence in its wake. In this sense, it is the avant-garde that has become mainstream; the truly radical work of architecture eschews obsolescence, preserving works of architecture by declaring them infinitely adaptable.

description: We present a new approach to stochastic modeling of constraint-based grammars that is based on log-linear models and uses EM for estimation from unannotated data. The techniques are applied to an LFG grammar for German. Evaluation on an exact match task yields 86% precision for an ambiguity rate of 5.4, and 90% precision on a subcat frame match for an ambiguity rate of 25. Experimental comparison to training from a parsebank shows a 10% gain from EM training. Also, a new class-based grammar lexicalization is presented, showing a 10% gain over unlexicalized models.

With head, heart and land: Integration of community work and environmental planning in three north Queensland local government authorities Douglas Shire Council Mackay City Council Townsville City Council

description: Set in three local government authorities in north Queensland, Townsville, Douglas and Mackay, this study explores the extent to which community workers and environmental planners contribute to ecologically sustainable local area planning. The concept of ecological sustainability requires a balanced planning approach in order that the well-being of humans and the non-human environment are protected, yet the potential economic benefits promised by local development projects frequently override concerns about loss of areas with a high conservation value. The approach taken by the three local authorities studied in this thesis, is planning the future of their areas is significant in its potential to contribute to attaining ecological sustainability. Land-use planning decisions have affected and will continue to impact upon not only the aesthetics of the case study areas, but also inevitably short and long term issues of quality of life. There are many conflicting objectives in the councils because they endeavour to maintain employment opportunities, clean, safe environments and manage conservation of natural resources in the face of growing local populations.
title: Understanding social movement organisations' inclusiveness: A case study of two Australian climate action groups

Subjects: subject: social movement organisation
subject: climate action
subject: inclusiveness
subject: Australia

description: Inclusiveness is critical to the ability of political organisations, especially social movement organisations (SMOs), to accommodate different social and political groups' interests. A higher level of inclusiveness helps organisations to mobilise more effectively and generate greater momentum in creating social and political changes at a much faster pace. Not only that, when SMOs are less inclusive, they become more vulnerable to external attacks and infighting. These negative conditions also threaten an organisation's existence. Nevertheless, it is a perennial challenge for different political organisations to establish and maintain higher inclusiveness to resolve collective action problems, for instance climate change in Australia. Thereby, this thesis seeks to answer the following question: how can different types of social movement organisations (SMOs) establish and maintain higher inclusiveness? To answer this question, this thesis also examines the ways different organisational mechanisms operate in two groups with very different levels of institutionalisation, Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) and Extinction Rebellion Australia (XR Aus), but finds that institutionalisation, while important, is not necessarily the decisive factor.

Bayesian Inference for Regression Copulas
Creators: name: Smith, Michael Stanley
name: Klein, Nadja
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Methodology (stat.ME)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: We propose a new semi-parametric distributional regression smoother that is based on a copula decomposition of the joint distribution of the vector of response values. The copula is high-dimensional and constructed by inversion of a pseudo regression, where the conditional mean and variance are semi-parametric functions of covariates modeled using regularized basis functions. By integrating out the basis coefficients, an implicit copula process on the covariate space is obtained, which we call a `regression copula'. We combine this with a non-parametric margin to define a copula model, where the entire distribution - including the mean and variance - of the response is a smooth semi-parametric function of the covariates. The copula is estimated using both Hamiltonian Monte Carlo and variational Bayes; the latter of which is scalable to high dimensions. Using real data examples and a simulation study we illustrate the efficacy of these estimators and the copula model. In a substantive example, we estimate the distribution of half-hourly electricity spot prices as a function of demand and two time covariates using radial bases and horseshoe regularization. The copula model produces distributional estimates that are locally adaptive with respect to the covariates, and predictions that are more accurate than those from benchmark models.

description: One of the ten objectives of the 2004 Australian National Water Initiative is to manage surface and groundwater as a single resource. In order to do that it is necessary to understand the interactions between surface and groundwater, as well as the impacts of water abstraction, land use change and climate variability. In Australia, not just the quantity of water, but also its quality and particularly its salinity are critically important. Some of the difficulties facing agencies in managing surface and groundwater as a single resource are the extreme variability of climate in Australia, the lack of long-term streamflow and groundwater level data sets and the very limited temporal records on water quality. This thesis presents a study of surface and groundwater interaction and salinity in a selected catchment in the Hunter Valley in mid New South Wales, eastern Australia, where data records are limited and incomplete. The hypotheses tested in this work are that (1) salinity discharge in the Hunter is largely determined by mineral weathering and deep groundwater inflows and (2) a simple parameter-efficient coupled surface and groundwater model can accurately predict groundwater and streamflow behaviour over monthly time scale and is useful in determining surface-groundwater interactions.
