title: Optical full Hadamard matrix multiplexing and noise effects: errata

authors: Streeter, Lee

subjects: noise in imaging systems

abstract: The model for Poisson random noise under Hadamard multiplexing is revised. The new model accounts for the variation of the Hadamard multiplexed measurements, as well as the previously considered variation due to Poisson fluctuations. A numerical simulation matches the model prediction within uncertainty.

title: Heating of the low-latitude solar wind by dissipation of turbulent magnetic fluctuations

authors: Smith, Charles W.

subjects: solar wind

abstract: We test a theory presented previously to account for the turbulent transport of magnetic fluctuation energy in the solar wind and the related dissipation and heating of the ambient ion population. This theory accounts for the injection of magnetic energy through the damping of large-scale flow gradients, such as wind shear and compression, and incorporates the injection of magnetic energy due to wave excitation by interstellar pickup ions. The theory assumes quasi-two-dimensional spectral transport of the fluctuation energy and subsequent dissipation that heats the thermal protons. We compare the predictions of this theory with Voyager 2 and Pioneer 11 observations of magnetic fluctuation energy, magnetic correlation lengths, and ambient proton temperatures. Near-Earth Omnitape observations are used to adjust for solar variability, and the possibility that high-latitude effects could mask possible radial dependences is considered. We find abundant evidence for in situ heating of the protons, which we quantify, and show that the observed magnetic energy is consistent with the ion temperatures.

title: Planning and governance under the LGA: Lessons from the RMA experience.

authors: Borrie, Nancy

subjects: New Zealand

abstract: The purpose of this report is to identify ways in which experiences gained from the
RMA as a devolved and co-operative planning mandate can enable local and central
government and other stakeholders to more effectively implement the LGA. The
report is based on findings from the FRST-funded research programme on Planning
under Co-operative Mandates (PUCM). We argue in this report that the experiences gained from the RMA can inform
effective implementation of the LGA in three important respects: Preparation and implementation of LTCCPs; The community consultation process for formulating community outcomes;
and Māori participation in planning and governance.
