Abundance Analysis of New CEMP RR Lyrae Stars
(Canberra, ACT: The Australian National University Data Commons) Kennedy, C. R.
Tonight, in the halo of the Galaxy, we observe variable carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars. These stars preserve chemical signatures of past stellar nucleosynthesis. We will use the WiFeS instrument in order to estimate accurate abundances of several elements. By doing so, we will determine how the first generations of stars produced the elements that surround us.

ACT and district pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) atlas
(Canberra, ACT: 100% Renewable Energy (RE100) Group, College of Engineering & Computer Science, Australian National University) Blakers, Andrew; Stocks, Matthew; Lu, Bin; Anderson, Kirsten; Nadolny, Anna
The ACT has relatively few potential sites for pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) sites due to the large fraction of the territory's mountains that is occupied by Namadgi National Park. However, there are many good potential sites in the surrounding district. We found a total of 871 nearby potential sites with a combined energy storage potential that is about 200 times larger than the ACT & district share of the storage needed to support a 100% renewable electricity grid. The large number of nearby sites provides some confidence that there will be a good number of technically feasible PHES sites. These sites were found using algorithms with defined search criteria within a geographic information system (GIS) platform. This platform was used to find detailed information, such as head, reservoir areas, and storage capacity. This list is not yet exhaustive. We are also in the process of developing a cost model that will determine the least cost option for the tunnelling between two reservoirs, and therefore the location of the lower reservoir.

Acted Facial Expressions In The Wild
(Canberra, ACT : University of Canberra) Dhall, Abhinav
Quality data recorded in varied realistic environments is vital for effective human face related research. Currently available datasets for human facial expression analysis have been generated in highly controlled lab environments. We present a new dynamic 2D facial expressions database based on movies capturing diverse scenarios. A new XML schema based approach has been developed for the database collection and distribution tools. Realistic face data plays a vital role in the research advancement of facial expression analysis systems. We have named our database Acted Facial Expressions in the Wild similar to the spirit of the Labeled Faces in the Wild (LFW) database. It contains 957 videos in AVI format labelled with six basic expressions Angry, Happy, Disgust, Fear, Sad, Surprise and the Neutral expression. We also wanted to capture the information on how facial expressions evolved in subjects with age. Therefore we have chosen sets of movies featuring the same actors. For example, the Harry Potter series forms a good platform to analyse how facial expressions of subjects evolve with age. We used thirty-seven movies from a diverse range of movie genres so as to cover as much varied expressions and natural environments as possible. Much progress has been made in the fields of face recognition and human activity recognition in the past years due to the availability of realistic databases as well as robust representation and classification techniques. Inspired by them, we present a labelled temporal facial expression database from movies. Human facial expression databases till now have been captured in controlled b

Aiston Collection
(Museum Metadata Exchange)
George Aiston (1879-1943) developed an interest in ethnography during his posting to the west coast of South Australia following his return from the Boer War. This interest deepened after his transfer to Mungeranie, on the Birdsville Track, and he began documenting material culture processes with photography, and gathered ethnographic and stone tool collections for museums and private collectors following his retirement from the police force ca. 1913, when he established a small museum at his Birdsville Track general store at Mulka, south of Mungeranie. He supplied most of the text and illustrations for Savage Life in Central Australia (Macmillan, London), co-authored with George Horne, 1924. Aiston's collecting interests extended to guns, edged weapons and armour, a collection largely preserved at the South Australian Museum, together with his Australian ethnographic material. More than 230 Aboriginal artefacts collected by mounted police-trooper, ethnographer and store-keeper George Aiston.

ANUClimate collection
(Australia: Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network's (TERN) Ecosystem Modelling and Scaling Infrastructure (eMAST)) Xu, Tingbao; Kesteven, Jennifer; Hutchison, Michael
The daily and monthly climate variables contained herein have been generated using ANUClimate 1.0 (though ANUClimate 1.1 data is available for most daily products). This is a spatial model, developed by Michael Hutchinson, that integrates a new approach to the interpolation of Australia's national point climate data to produce climate variables on a 0.01 - longitude/latitude grid. Most climate values have been modelled by expressing each value as a normalised anomaly with respect to the gridded 1976-2005 mean. These means and anomalies were all interpolated by trivariate thin plate smoothing spline functions of longitude, latitude and vertically exaggerated elevation using ANUSPLIN Version 4.5, with additional dependences on proximity to the coast for the temperature and vapour pressure variables. Station elevations for the gridded temperature and vapour pressure variables were obtained from 0.01 - local averages of grid values from the GEODATA 9 second DEM version 3. Station elevations for the gridded rainfall and pan evaporation variables were obtained from 0.05 - local averages of grid values from the GEODATA 9 second DEM version 3.

Australian Election Study survey, 2001
(Canberra, ACT: The Australian National University) Bean, Clive; Gow, David; McAllister, Ian
Conducted with a stratified systematic random sample of electors, this dataset consists of survey responses to the 2001 Australian Election Study. Electors surveyed were drawn from the Commonwealth Electoral Roll by the Australian Electoral Commission following the close of rolls for the 2001 election (October, 2001). Mode of data collection: self-completion (mail out, mail back). Type of file = NSDstat. The 2001 Australian Election Study survey is the sixth in a series of surveys (beginning in 1987) that were timed to coincide with Australian Federal elections. As well as a long-term perspective on stability and change in the political attitudes and behaviour of the Australian electorate, the Study also aimed to investigate the changing social bases of Australian politics as the economy and society modernised and changed character. In addition to these long-term goals the surveys examined the political issues prevalent in the election and assessed their importance for the election result. The survey covers the respondent's interest in the election campaign and politics, their past and present political affiliation, evaluation of parties and candidates, alignment with parties on various election issues, evaluation of the current economic situation, attitudes to a range of election issues including immigration, refugees and asylum seekers, terrorism, taxation, unemployment, and workers entitlements, attitudes to issues relating to the environment and defence, assessment of the current level of racial prejudice operating in Australia at the time, and opinions on various social policy issues including abortion, equal opportunities, sex discrimination, and government assistance to Aborigines. Background variables include level of education, employment status, occupation, type of employer, position at workplace, trade union membership, sex, age, own and parents' country of birth, parents' political preferences, religion, marital status, income, and where applicable, the occupation, trade union membership and political preference of the respondent's spouse. The data collection process was administered by Professor Clive Bean, Dr David Gow and Professor Ian McAllister. Survey data may be accessed in a variety of data formats, including SPSS, Stata, DBase, Textfile and NSDstat.

Australian Election Study, 1987
(Canberra, ACT: Australian Data Archive) Mughan, A.; Jones, Roger; Papadakis, Elim; Gow, David; McAllister, Ian
The Australian Election Study (AES) is a survey designed to collect data for academic research on Australian public opinion and behaviour during federal elections. All the studies are national, post-election self-completion (mail-in, mail-out) surveys with the sample drawn randomly from the electoral register. The 1987 study had two goals. The first was to continue the broad line of enquiry established by the 1967 and 1979 Australian National Political Attitudes surveys so that patterns of stability and change in the political attitudes and behaviour of the Australian electorate could be traced over two decades. The second was to assess the electoral impact of forces specific to the 1987 election in order better to understand its outcome. For 1987, the total sample was 3,061. Of those sampled, 156 moved/gone away and 1,080 were refusals/non-responses. There were 1,825 valid responses giving an effective response of 62.8. The survey instrument consisted of 6 sections totalling 90 questions. Section A: The Federal Election included 18 questions on media coverage of the 1987 election and previous voting record/preferences. Section B: Political Leaders included 7 questions about party leader preferences and reasons for preferences. Section C: Election Issues included 26 questions about the economy and non-economic issues including defence, mining, health, ties to the UK and USA, the flag, law and order, migration and immigrants, Australian aborigines, censorship, unions, homosexuality, and gender equality. Section D: Social and Political Goals included 8 questions about the effectiveness of government and how the country should be governed. Section E: Education and Work included 11 questions about educational qualifications/background and work experience. Section F: Personal Background included 20 questions about birthplace and family background, place of residence, and work and religious affiliations. A systematic random sample of 2762 cases covering all States and Territories except South Australia was provided by the Australian Electoral Office from its computerised electoral roll. A supplementary sample of 299 cases was selected manually from the alphabetical list of electors in South Australia by microfiche. Respondents are mailed on the Monday following the federal election (which is held on a Saturday). The survey remained in the field for about 8 weeks; the bulk of the responses were received following Waves 1 and 2. Wave 1 Questionnaire, letter Week 1 Wave 2 Thank you/reminder postcard Week 2 Wave 3 Questionnaire, letter Week 5 Wave 4 Final letter, Week 7 In the 1987 survey, the fourth and final wave elicited comparatively few extra responses and was not considered cost-effective; it has not been used in the post-1987 surveys.

Australian Election Study, 1990
(Canberra, ACT: Australian Data Archive)
The Australian Election Study (AES) is designed to collect data for academic research on Australian public opinion and behaviour during federal elections. The 1990 study is the second in the series initiated in 1987, and builds on the data collected earlier in the 1967 and 1979 Australian Political Attitudes Surveys. The series provides a long-term perspective on stability and change in the political attitudes and behaviour of the Australian electorate, and investigates the changing social bases of Australian politics as the economy and society modernise and change character. Each study is based on a national, post-election, self-completion survey consisting mainly of multiple choice questions. A range of questions are included in the survey which cover election issues and the respondent's assessment of the most effective party to handle them, as well as questions on specific political issues. A section on social policy includes questions on around 30 contemporary social and moral issues, including abortion, Aboriginal rights, pornography, health care and many others. A section on industrial policy focuses on attitudes towards the control of the economy, to trade unions and big business, and to industrial conflict in general. In addition to the standard questions on vote in the current election, recalled vote in the 1987 federal election, and party identification, the survey contains an extensive section dealing with attitudes to the major parties and to the party leaders. Finally, a range of demographic data are collected for each respondent and their spouse or partner, if applicable. In some cases, questions are repeated in each survey so that trends can be observed over a long period of time. However, in each survey there are always new sets of questions or modules added to gauge public opinion on contemporary social and political issues in Australia. Two major themes are covered in the 1990 survey, the economy and the environment. Questions on the economy include evaluations of the country's economy and the individual's own personal household situation; wages and price controls; attitudes to particular economic issues; and the position of the major parties and party leaders on the main economic issues. Questions on the environment include attitudes to the protection of the environment and to environmental issues in general; the role of industry and the government in ensuring environmental protection; rankings of the most urgent environmental issues and the respondent's assessment of their likely future importance; and attitudes toward environmental pressure and interest groups, including current or likely membership. The breakdown of the 1990 survey sections is as follows: Section A: The Election Campaign (9 questions) Section B: Party Preference and Voting (9 questions) Section C: Political Leaders and Parties (9 questions) Section D: Election Issues (3 questions) Section E: The Economy (7 questions) Section F: Social Policy (10 questions) Section G: The Environment (10 questions) Section H: Industrial Relations (6 questions) Section I: Education and Work (9 questions) Section J: Personal Background (15 questions) For the 1990 study, The Australian Electoral Office provided a systematic random sample of electors from its computerised electoral role. The sample of 3277 electors was made by selecting 1 in 2989 from the roll, distributed proportionately across States and Territories and Electoral Divisions, excluding South Australia. A supplementary sample of 330 cases was selected manually from the alphabetical microfiche list of electors in South Australia, again using the sample fraction of 1 in 2989 persons. The data is available in a variety of formats, including SPSS Portable, Stata v.8, Stata v.7, Nesstar Publisher, NSDstat, DIF, DBase, Textfile, Delimited, SAS and Comma Separated Value file. The data can be downloaded in a zipped folder together with documentation in pdf or xml format.
