description: As shown recently (arXiv:1903.08668), consistent thermodynamics of the Lorentzian Taub-NUT solutions with Misner strings present can be formulated provided a new pair of conjugate quantities (related to the NUT parameter) $ψ-N$ is introduced. In (arXiv:1903.08668) this pair was calculated from the Euclidean action but no geometrical interpretation for the new quantities was provided. In this paper we propose that the potential $ψ$ should be identified with the surface gravity of the Misner string and the conjugate Misner charge $N$ can be obtained by a Komar-type integration over the tubes surrounding the string singularities. We show that similar tube contributions also modify the Komar formula for the thermodynamic volume. To render the integrals finite we employ the method of Killing co-potentials. By construction the new charges then satisfy the Smarr relation. Equipped with these geometrical notions, we generalize the first law for the (possibly charged) Taub-NUT spacetimes to account for asymmetric distributions of Misner strings and their potential variable strengths.

T y p e m a t e r i a l Holotype, Sabah, Danum Valley, B.R.L., f.i.t., 14-16.II.2007, G. de Rougemont leg. (CROU). Paratype: 1, same provenance as the holotype (CROU).
D e s c r i p t i o n: Length 4.4-4.69 mm. Body and pronotum slightly shiny, rest of the body shiny. Body black, elytra and abdomen blackish-brown, pygidium reddish, antennae reddish with basal antennomere reddish-brown, the second, third and three apical antennomeres and legs yellowish-red. Second antennomere shorter than the first, third longer than the second, fourth to tenth longer that wide. Eyes as long as the postocular region in dorsal view. Reticulation of head and pronotum strong, that of the elytra evident, that of the abdomen very transverse and evident. Puncturation of the head fairly dense and superficial, that of the pronotum evident and fairly close, with four large discal punctures disposed in a rectangle rectangle; puncturation of the elytra strong and very superficial, that of the abdomen very fine, superficial and sparse. The deep median sulcus of the pronotum does not reach the anterior margin and posterioriorly it ends in a shallow dimple. Male and female sixth free abdominal tergites with a wide median lobe on the posterior margin (Fig. 167). Male first free tergite with two long narrow appendices directed posteriorly (Fig. 168). Male fifth free tergite with a salient posterior median carina (Fig. 168). Aedeagus: Figs 164-165; spermatheca: Fig. 166.
 C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s: In its habitus and the form of the spermatheca, the new species is similar to D. foeda PACE, 2008 also from Borneo. It differs in the fourth antennomere being longer than wide (as long as wide in D. foeda), and in the distal bulb of the spermatheca which is narrower (0.04 mm), than the proximal bulb (0.1 mm is wide), whereas in D. foeda the distal bulb of the spermatheca is 0.1 mm wide and a little narrower than the proximal bulb (0.11 mm wide).
E t y m o l o g y: The name of this new species refers to the large proximal bulb of the spermatheca.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: We present a numerical model study of the zero-temperature infrared optical properties of (III,Mn)V diluted magnetic semiconductors. Our calculations demonstrate the importance of treating disorder and interaction effects simultaneously in modelling these materials. We find that the conductivity has no clear Drude peak, that it has a broadened inter-band peak near 220 meV, and that oscillator weight is shifted to higher frequencies by stronger disorder. These results are in good qualitative agreement with recent thin film absorption measurements. We use our numerical findings to discuss the use of f-sum rules evaluated by integrating optical absorption data for accurate carrier-density estimates.

description: Wavefunctions restricted to electron pair states are promising models for strongly-correlated systems. Specifically, the pair Coupled Cluster Doubles (pCCD) ansatz allows us to accurately describe bond dissociation processes and heavy-element containing compounds with multiple quasi-degenerate single-particle states. Here, we extend the pCCD method to model excited states using the equation of motion (EOM) formalism. As the cluster operator of pCCD is restricted to electron-pair excitations, EOM-pCCD allows us to target excited electron-pair states only. To model singly excited states within EOM-pCCD, we modify the configuration interaction ansatz of EOM-pCCD to contain also single excitations. Our proposed model represents a simple and cost-effective alternative to conventional EOM-CC methods to study singly excited electronic states. The performance of the excited state models is assessed against the lowest-lying excited states of the uranyl cation and the two lowest-lying excited states of all-trans polyenes. Our numerical results suggest that EOM-pCCD including single excitations is a good starting point to target singly excited states.

description: This thesis is primarily concerned with central limit results for martingales, and the role Lindeberg-type conditions play in them. Two types of results are dealt with, simple one-dimensional central limit theorems and more complex invariance principles for the central limit theorem. Some of our results are more general or slightly different versions of known results, while others, within the context of martingale theory, are completely new.

 Procnias cyanotropus Wied, 1820: 187 (Bara de Jucú).
 Now Tersina viridis viridis (Illiger, 1811). See Allen, 1889b: 218, Hellmayr, 1936: 1, and Dickinson, 2003: 813.
 SYNTYPES: AMNH 4368, juvenile male, AMNH 4369, adult male, Rio Jucú (5 Bara de Jucú), 20.24S, 40.19W (Paynter and Traylor, 1991), Espiritu Santo, Brazil, from the Maximilian Collection.
 COMMENTS: In the original description, only the adult male is described, but both Wied specimens would have been in his possession when cyanotropus was described as they shared a Wied label, one side of which was marked ‘‘mas iuv’’ and the other ‘‘Mas.’’ Allen considered these two formerly mounted male specimens to be syntypes, with both bearing AMNH type labels. The Wied label is glued to the back of the label on AMNH 4369.
 Wied’s (1820: 187) original description reads: ‘‘betrachtet man ihn gegen des Licht, so ist der ganze Vogel prachtvoll himmelblau, and vom Lichte abgewant erscheint er glänzend hellgrün; Zügel, Kehle und Kinn sind schwarz; der Unterlieb weiss; in Berliner Museum hat man ihn Procnias ventralis gennant.’’

The idea of historical recurrence in Western thought : from antiquity to the Reformation
Creators: name: Trompf, G.W.
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1974

description: Even today it is commonly held that history repeats itself. The idea of historical recurrence has a long and intriguing history, and this thesis concerns the period of time in the western tradition when its expressions were most numerous and fervent. As we shall show, this idea is not to be confined to its cyclical variety, for it also entails such notions as re-enactment, retribution, renaissance and such like which belong under the wider umbrella of 'recurrence'. Moreover, it will be argued that not only the Graeco-Raman but also the biblical tradition contributed to the history of this idea. The old contrast between JudeaChristian linear views of history and Graeoo-Roman cyclical views will be seriously questioned. Beginning from Polybius, we examine the manifold forms of recurrence thinking in Greek and Roman historiography, but then turn our attention to biblical pictures of historical change, arguing that in the work of Luke-Acts and in earlier Jewish writings there was clearly an interest in the idea of history repeating itself. Jewish and early Christian writers initiated and foreshadowed an extensive synthesizing of recurrence notions and models from both traditions, although the synthesis could vary in accordance with different contexts and dogmatic considerations. In the Renaissance and Reformation the interrelationship between classical and biblical notions of recurrence reached a point of consummation, yet even in the sixteenth century some ideas distinctive to both traditions, such as the Polybian conception of a 'cycle of governments' and the biblical notion of the 're-enactment of significant events', were revived in stark separation from each other. We find ourselves dealing with a continuing, but not always fruitful 'dialogue' between the two great traditions of western thought, a dialogue which did not stop short in the days of Machiavelli, but which has been carried on to the present day. In all, this study represents the first half of a long story which I intend to continue in a work on the idea of historical recurrence from Giambattista Vico to Arnold Toynbee.

Targeting doubly-excited states with Equation of Motion Coupled Cluster theory restricted to double excitations

Subjects: subject: Chemical Physics (physics.chem-ph)

description: The accurate description of doubly-excited states using conventional electronic structure methods is remarkably challenging, primarily because such excited states require the inclusion of doubly or higher excited configurations or the application of multi-reference methods. We present a new approach to target electronically excited states that feature a double-electron transfer. Our method uses the equation of motion (EOM) formalism with a pair coupled cluster doubles (pCCD) reference function, where dynamical correlation is accounted for by a linearized coupled cluster correction with singles and doubles (LCCSD). Specifically, our proposed EOM-pCCD-LCCSD model represents a simplification of the conventional EOM-CCSD approach, where the electron-pair amplitudes of CCSD are tailored by pCCD. The performance of EOM-pCCD-LCCSD is assessed for the lowest-lying excited states in CH$^+$ and all-trans polyenes. In contrast to conventional EOM-CC methods with at most double excitations, EOM-pCCD-LCCSD predicts the right order of states in polyenes with excitation energies closest to experiment, outperforming even highly-accurate methods such as the density matrix renormalization group algorithm.

D e s c r i p t i o n: Length 4.5-4.69 mm. Fore-body slightly shiny, abdomen shiny. Body brown, abdomen reddish with the third to fifth free abdominal tergites brown, antennae blackish-brown with the two basal antennomeres and the base of third yellowish-red, legs yellowish-red. Second antennomere shorter than the first, third longer than the second, fourth to tenth transverse. Eyes longer than the postocular region in dorsal view. Reticulation of the fore-body evident, that of the abdomen transverse and clearly visible. Puncturation of head and abdomen very superficial and close, absent on frons. Strong granulation denser in the median occipital area. Granulation of pronotum and elytra dense and evident, more salient near the suture of the elytra. There is a salient umbonate elevation between the antennae. The pronotum bears a fine median sulcus. Male fifth free abdominal tergites with two large posterior median punctures, arranged in a transverse line. Aedeagus: Figs 169-170; spermatheca: Fig. 173, male sixth free tergite: Fig. 171; female sixth free tergite: Fig. 172.
 C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s: The habitus and shape of the spermatheca of this new species point to an affinity with D. operosa PACE, 1986 also from Borneo. However the fourth antennomere of the new species is transverse, whereas that of D. operosa is longer than wide. The intermediary portion of the spermatheca between the distal and proximal bulbs is short (0.07 mm) in the new species, whereas it is 0.12 mm long in D. operosa.
E t y m o l o g y: The name of the new species means "serrate" (from the Latin serrula = a saw) in reference to one of the internal sclerotised pieces of the aedeagus which is shaped like the teeth of a saw.

description: The computation of PBH (primordial black hole) production from primordial perturbations has recently been improved by considering a more accurate relation between the primordial power spectrum and the PBH mass variance. We present here exact expressions which are valid for primordial spectra of arbitrary shape and which allow accurate numerical calculations. We then consider the possibility to have a significant part of dark matter in the form of PBHs produced by a primordial spectrum of inflationary origin possessing a characteristic scale. We show that in this model the relevant PBH mass is constrained to lie in the range $5\times 10^{15} {\rm g}\lesssim M \lesssim 10^{21} {\rm g}$. This is much less than the mass range coming from the QCD phase transition, allowing the two mechanisms to be easily distinguished.

description: We have measured the temperature dependence of the conductivity $σ_{xx}$ of a two-dimensional electron system deep into the localized regime of the quantum Hall plateau transition. Using variable-range hopping theory we are able to extract directly the localization length $ξ$ from this experiment. We use our results to study the scaling behavior of $ξ$ as a function of the filling factor distance $|δν|$ to the critical point of the transition. We find for all samples a power-law behavior $ξ\propto|δν|^{-γ}$ with a universal scaling exponent $γ= 2.3$ as proposed theoretically.

description: Quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) are becoming a key tool for plenty of applications, from the mid-infrared (mid-IR) to the THz range. Progress in related areas, such as the development of ultra-low-loss crystalline microresonators, optical frequency standards, and optical fiber networks for time and frequency dissemination, is paving the way for unprecedented applications in many fields. For most demanding applications, a thorough control of QCLs emission must be achieved. In the last few years, QCLs unique spectral features have been unveiled, while multifrequency QCLs have been demonstrated. Ultra-narrow frequency linewidths are necessary for metrological applications, ranging from cold molecules interaction and ultra-high sensitivity spectroscopy to infrared-THz metrology. A review of the present status of research in this field is presented, with a view of perspectives and future applications.

The GW approach gives notably better results than the well-known random-phase approximation, at a similar computational cost. These results establish GW as a superior alternative to standard DFT schemes without the expensive numerical effort required by quantum Monte Carlo simulations.

description: Recently, a mathematical model describing the illicit drug consumption in a population consisting of drug users and non-users has been proposed. The model describes the dynamics of non-users, experimental users, recreational users, and addict users within a population. The aim of this work is to propose a modified version of this model by analogy with the classical predator-prey models, in particular considering non-users as prey and users as predator. Hence, our model includes a stabilizing effect of the growth rate of the prey, and a destabilizing effect of the predator saturation. Functional responses of Verhulst and of Holling type II have been used for modeling these effects. To forecast the marijuana consumption in the states of Colorado and Washington, we used data from Hanley (2013) and a genetic algorithm to calibrate the parameters in our model. Assuming that the population of non-users increases in proportion with the demography, and following the seminal works of Sir Robert May (1976), we use the growth rate of non-users as the main bifurcation parameter. For the state of Colorado, the model first exhibits a limit cycle, which agrees quite accurately with the reported periodic data in Hanley (2013). By further increasing the growth rate of non-users, the population then enters into two chaotic regions, within which the evolution of the variables becomes unpredictable. For the state of Washington, the model also exhibits a periodic solution, which is again in good agreement with observed data. A chaotic region for Washington is likewise observed in the bifurcation diagram. Our research confirms that mathematical models can be a useful tool for better understanding illicit drug consumption, and for guiding policy-makers towards more effective policies to contain this epidemic.

description: Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) are zinc ion dependent enzymes that responsible for the emergence and spread of β-lactam resistance. The increasing number of novel members of this family is threatening to global health care. MBLs are divided into three subclasses, i.e. B1, B2 and B3. The recent discovery of an unusual MBL from Serratia proteamaculans (SPR-1) suggests the presence of an additional subgroup, i.e. B4. A database search reveals that SPR-1 has several homologues including a MBL from Cronobacter sakazakii, CSA-1. These MBLs have a unique active site and my employ a mechanism distinct from other MBLs. Characterisation of a novel B3 MBL from Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Adelaide, Australia, Adelaide Imipenemase-1 (AIM-1) suggests the presence of a super enzyme that is biochemically broad spectrum and physically stable. In this study, X-ray crystal structure of AIM-1 was solved and site-saturation mutagenesis was used for probing several interesting residues. Moreover, directed evolution was introduced for finding the prospective variants that have better activity against antibiotics. Variants found in this study suggest AIM-1 has the potential to increase activity against β- lactams antibiotics. Information gained from this study may also be useful in the design of inhibitors that could be used as anti-bacterial agents.

description: Process waste management and recycling is a big challenge faced by Iron and Steel industry. Contamination of process wastes with material such as zinc, lead etc is the most common problem existing retarding effective realization of valuable minerals from wastes for reuse and recycling. The steel plant wastes consists of sludges and dusts which have iron valuables which can be recycled helping conservation of natural resources. The contamination of iron ore dust by zinc is one of the common problems faced in BF, SMS. The Zn during smelting operations is evaporated as zinc oxide (ZnO2) and deposits on the fine iron ore particles which exit through top gases. In order to recycle these material and to reduce the recirculation of the Zn into the process, treatment of these material for separation of zn coated particles is a must. The Zn coating on the fine iron particles is in micron level and removal of Zn by chemical or thermal processes is uneconomical due to the high volume of such mass. Therefore, the most common treatment adopted is hydro cycloning of the material. However, since the Zn coated iron particle and pure iron particles are near gravity material and their drag force response in the cyclone is similar and hence separation is difficult. To make the separation efficient, the drag force response of Zn coated and other material is manipulated through pressure drop by optimizing the spigot, vortex ratio. The pressure drop is also a function of particle sizes in the feed. A two stage cyclone process has been developed to process the feed with an optimized spigot to vortex ratio in the range of 1.6-2. The optimized process has been extensively tested in the lab. The separation efficiency of > 80 % has been achieved. The present paper deals with the salient features of mechanism, forces acting on the particles and the measures taken for optimizing the cyclone parameters. The above measures help in effective recovery of iron valuables from process waste and cost effectiveness and mitigating environmental issues of waste management.

Martingale limit theory
Creators: name: Hall, Peter Gavin
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1975
Subjects: subject: Martingales (Mathematics)

description: A central limit theorem for martingales was considered as early as 1935» when Paul Levy established several results. However, it is only since the 1960's that the field has received much attention, and some of the most important work was published by Erown [9] in 1971. In this dissertation we take a critical look at the present situation of martingale central limit theory. We change the form of the classical central limit problem and show that in this new form it has a solution under more general conditions. This leads us to analogous results for reverse martingales, and to a new form of the law of the iterated logarithm.

description: The present work aims to examine in detail the depletion of lithium in solar twins to better constrain stellar evolution models and investigate its possible connection with exoplanets. We employ spectral synthesis in the region of the asymmetric 6707.75 ÅLi I line for a sample of 77 stars plus the Sun. As in previous works based on a smaller sample of solar twins, we find a strong correlation between Li depletion and stellar age. In addition, for the first time we show that the Sun has the lowest Li abundance in comparison with solar twins at similar age (4.6 $\pm$ 0.5 Gyr). We compare the lithium content with the condensation temperature slope for a sub-sample of the best solar twins and determine that the most lithium depleted stars also have fewer refractory elements. We speculate whether the low lithium content in the Sun might be related to the particular configuration of our Solar system.

Maximum likelihood estimation for stochastic processes - a martingale approach
Creators: name: Feigin, Paul David
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1975
Subjects: subject: Stochastic processes
subject: Martingales (Mathematics)

description: This thesis is primarily concerned with the investigation of asymptotic properties of the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) of parameters of a stochastic process. These asymptotic properties are related to martingale limit theory by recognizing the (known) fact that, under certain regularity conditions, the derivative of the logarithm of the likelihood function is a martingale. To this end, part of the thesis is devoted to using or developing martingale limit theory to provide conditions for the consistency and/or asymptotic normality of the MLE. Thus, Chapter 1 is concerned with the martingale limit theory, while the remaining chapters look at its application to three broad types of stochastic processes. Chapter 2 extends the classical development of asymptotic theory of MLE’s (a la Cramer [1]) to stochastic processes which, basically, behave in a non-explosive way and for which non-random norming sequences can be used. In this chapter we also introduce a generalization of Fisher's measure of information to the stochastic process situation. Chapter 3 deals with the theory for general processes and develops the notion of "conditional" exponential families of processes, as well as establishing the importance of using random norming sequences. In Chapter 4 we consider the asymptotic theory of maximum likelihood estimation for continuous time processes and establish results which are analogous to those for discrete time processes. In each of these chapters many applications are considered in an attempt to show how known and new results fit into the general framework of estimation for stochastic processes. In Appendix B, a report on the use of the empirical characteristic function in inference is included in order to indicate how one might deal with situations where the likelihood is intractable.
Using a Complexity Theory of Change to Transform the Culture of a Resource and Environmental Management Organization

Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2001
Subjects: Complexity Theory

description: A common criticism in the field of organization change is that there is no coherent and operationally useful theory of organization change. Another weakness is the notoriety of planned interventions for not achieving their stated aims. This thesis sets out to address these shortcomings through the development of a complexity theory of human and organizational change that is both coherent and operationally useful. The complexity theory of change is then applied to a planned intervention that was successful in achieving its stated aims. The Organization that is the focus of this study used to be a government department that was recently transformed into a statutory authority responsible for the management of an Australian natural resource. The way in which the transition from a government department to a statutory authority was handled created the conditions for the intervention. Guided by the complexity theory of change the intervention methodology was designed to bring about a transformation in the Organization’s culture, that involved changes to its structure, strategy and power relations within a twelve-month period, and successfully to institutionalise the changes. The research methodology used was predominantly that of action research, however shortcomings with existing action research methodologies, often criticised for being rigid and confusing, such as not insisting on the inclusion of the researcher’s own position, led to the development of a new methodology: the Intiffegrated Action Research Methodology (IARM). Utilising triangulation as the method of analysis the results of the research are analysed before concluding with a list of factors that contributed to the success of this intervention.

description: The lower critical field $H_{c1}$ has been carefully measured on a well shaped cylindrical sample of the new superconductor $MgB_2$ fabricated by high pressure synthesis. The penetration depth $λ$ is calculated from the $H_{c1}$ data. It is found that a linear relation of $H_{c1}(T)$ appears in whole temperature region below $T_c$. Furthermore a finite slope of $dH_{c1}/dT$ and $dλ(T)/dT$ remains down to the lowest temperature (2 K). These are inconsistent with the expectation for a widely thought s-wave superconductivity in $MgB_2$.

description: Army in the 21st Century and Restructuring the Army: A Retrospective Appraisal of Australian Military Change Management in the 1990s Abstract: Army in the 21st Century (A21) and Restructuring the Army (RTA) were two related force structure initiatives undertaken by the Australian Army in the 1990s. A21 radically proposed to abolish traditional divisional/corps structures, fielding instead independent task forces with embedded combat arms. The RTA trials tested A21 concepts over several years; yet A21/RTA was abandoned in 1999. What happened, why, and what lessons does A21/RTA offer? This retrospective appraisal of A21/RTA is a case study of attempted transformational change in the Australian Army. The sub-thesis’ methodology features interviews with over thirty senior military, public service, academic and political leaders of this era; and applies organisational theory to interpret internal/external dynamics. A21/RTA faced formidable strategy, resourcing and cultural challenges. However A21/RTA failed to achieve critical elements of successful change management, including: a clear, shared, credible vision; achieving early successes; providing enablers (e.g. time and resources) and supporting efforts for change; senior leadership buy-in; and political sponsorship. A21/RTA failed in technical feasibility and cultural sensitivity terms. However, A21/RTA successfully developed an evidence-based approach, an enduring legacy supporting Army’s capability resourcing in Defence’s contested budget environment. Lessons for future restructures focus leadership attention to elements critical for successful organisational change, emphasising culture.
