1970 Results of Field Experiments
Please find enclosed a summary of results obtained from a range of field trials. These include a study of some techniques to replace undesirable cultivars of subterranean clover; the competitive ability of some subterranean clovers; the evaluation of the sub clover cultivars, Dinninup 3, Midland B,some members of subspeciesYanninicum, the medic cultivars Cyfield and Tornafield; and the preliminary results from an exotic pasture species introduction trial at Shark Bay. In most cases complete results have been or will be circulated in report form
Replacement of Sub Clover
This is a progress report in summary form outlining results obtained from trials studying clover replacement and evaluating Midland B, Dinninup 3, some members of Trifolium subterraneum subspecies yanninicum, Tornafield medic and Cyfield medic. Some comments are also included on two glasshouse experiments. In most cases complete results have been or will be circulated in report form. Eight trials examining techniques of subterranean clover replacement were continued in 1969, one other (Avondale Research Station) was discontinued due to the atypical nature of the site. \u27I\u27wo trials, one at Narrogin (68NA12) and one at Katanning (68KA6) were commenced in 1969. Weather conditions prevented them being started in 1968. Both were sited on established Dwalganup sub clover pastures which yielded 1124.7 lbs of clover seed and 981.0 lbs of clover seed/acre respectively when sampled on March 17, 1969. Both trials were sown as scheduled. Unfortunately the unfavourable season affected the growth of pasture and crop at both sites. A plague of red legged earth mite at Katanning is blamed for removing all of the few clover plants that germinated. The crop plots grew poorly (very uneven) and were damaged ·by sheep due to the fences being placed too close to the trial. These factors led to the immediate termination of the trial. At Narrog.n the nine first-year crop plots averaged 23 bushels of Gamenya wheat per acre.The pasture plots will be sampled in autumn 1970 for clover seed yield. This trial will be continued as scheduled. The second year of similar trials were continued at Three Springs (68TS11) Wongan Hills Research Station (68WH6) and Gingin (68M06). All trials were sampled in autumn for clover seed yields
Cross-level Validation of Topological Quantum Circuits
Quantum computing promises a new approach to solving difficult computational
problems, and the quest of building a quantum computer has started. While the
first attempts on construction were succesful, scalability has never been
achieved, due to the inherent fragile nature of the quantum bits (qubits). From
the multitude of approaches to achieve scalability topological quantum
computing (TQC) is the most promising one, by being based on an flexible
approach to error-correction and making use of the straightforward
measurement-based computing technique. TQC circuits are defined within a large,
uniform, 3-dimensional lattice of physical qubits produced by the hardware and
the physical volume of this lattice directly relates to the resources required
for computation. Circuit optimization may result in non-intuitive mismatches
between circuit specification and implementation. In this paper we introduce
the first method for cross-level validation of TQC circuits. The specification
of the circuit is expressed based on the stabilizer formalism, and the
stabilizer table is checked by mapping the topology on the physical qubit
level, followed by quantum circuit simulation. Simulation results show that
cross-level validation of error-corrected circuits is feasible.Comment: 12 Pages, 5 Figures. Comments Welcome. RC2014, Springer Lecture Notes

New grape varieties for premium wines
The quantity and style of wine consumed in Australia has changed dramatically since the 960s.
Besides the increase in consumption from 9 to 19.9 litres per head in the past 10 years, the major changes have been the greater importance of table wine, particularily white table wine, and the more exacting standards set by consumers and wine producers.
Also more importance has been placed on distinctive regional and varietal wines and the role of premium varieties

Specification format and a verification method of fault-tolerant quantum circuits
© 2018 American Physical Society. Quantum computations are expressed in general as quantum circuits, which are specified by ordered lists of quantum gates. The resulting specifications are used during the optimization and execution of the expressed computations. However, the specification format makes it difficult to verify that optimized or executed computations still conform to the initial gate list specifications: showing the computational equivalence between two quantum circuits expressed by different lists of quantum gates is exponentially complex in the worst case. In order to solve this issue, this work presents a derivation of the specification format tailored specifically for fault-tolerant quantum circuits. The circuits are considered a form consisting entirely of single qubit initializations, cnot gates, and single qubit measurements (ICM form). This format allows, under certain assumptions, to efficiently verify optimized (or implemented) computations. Two verification methods based on checking stabilizer circuit structures are presented
Theories of Reference: What Was the Question?
The new theory of reference has won popularity. However, a number of noted philosophers have also attempted to reply to the critical arguments of Kripke and others, and aimed to vindicate the description theory of reference. Such responses are often based on ingenious novel kinds of descriptions, such as rigidified descriptions, causal descriptions, and metalinguistic descriptions. This prolonged debate raises the doubt whether different parties really have any shared understanding of what the central question of the philosophical theory of reference is: what is the main question to which descriptivism and the causal-historical theory have presented competing answers. One aim of the paper is to clarify this issue. The most influential objections to the new theory of reference are critically reviewed. Special attention is also paid to certain important later advances in the new theory of reference, due to Devitt and others
