Spectacle and Spy Stories: The 1954 Royal Commission on Espionage
Australian Journal of Politics &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Menzies government's 1954 royal commission, established to investigate Soviet espionage in Australia, is well known as the backdrop to the Labor Party split. It saw opposition leader H.V. Evatt's demise and ushered in an almost 20‐year period of Liberal Party governance.

A matrix-geometric solution for the multiserver nonpreemptive priority queueing model with mixed priorities. [PDF]
This paper describes the analysis of multiserver queues with nonpreemptive mixed priorities. Such priority structures occur, for example, in initiator settings within the mainframe operating system MVS: job classes have to be assigned to initiators and ...

Variable‐Rate Texture Compression: Real‐Time Rendering with JPEG
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Although variable‐rate compressed image formats such as JPEG are widely used to efficiently encode images, they have not found their way into real‐time rendering due to special requirements such as random access to individual texels. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of variable‐rate texture compression on modern GPUs using the ...

NAADF: Globally Illuminated Voxel Worlds Accelerated with Nested Axis‐Aligned Distance Fields
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Achieving realistic rendering of 3D scenes in real time using path tracing is challenging due to the high sample count required, with ray tracing as the bottleneck. Focusing on voxels as a geometry representation offers significant opportunities for optimizations, especially for tracing the rays, but also for computing the samples.

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Graph drawing aesthetics have traditionally been optimized for human readers, leading to well‐established principles such as reducing edge crossings, enhancing symmetry, and minimizing bends. These criteria shape layout algorithms and define what “readability” means in network visualization.

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Network visualization has traditionally relied on heuristic metrics, such as stress, under the assumption that optimizing them leads to aesthetic and informative layouts. However, no single metric consistently produces the most effective results.

Transient bayesian inference for short and long-tailed GI/G/1 queueing systems [PDF]
, 2005 In this paper, we describe how to make Bayesian inference for the transient behaviour and busy period in a single server system with general and unknown distribution for the service and interarrival time.

In Defence of Oblique Intention
European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract Recent work on lying has revived an old action‐theoretic category: oblique, or indirect, intention. I argue that some liars intend deception obliquely. Sneddon objects that this category is drastic and unjustified: it counts all foreseen side‐effects as intended. My response is that oblique intention is not mere foresight.

Japanese Journal of Sociology, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 186-205, March 2025.Abstract The aim of this paper is to analyze the sociodemographic compositions and labor market entry of low‐educated youth in Japan. The paper specifically focuses on whether vocational education provides a safety net for labor market insecurities during an era of educational expansion.
