"Aspin" bubbles: a mechanical theory for the unification of the forces of Nature
Creators: name: Lana-Renault, Yoel
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: Atomic Physics (physics.atom-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper describes a mechanical theory for the unification of the basic forces of Nature with only one wave-particle interaction. The theory is based on the hypothesis that the ultimate components of matter are just two kind of pulsing particles. The interaction between these particles submerged in a fluid-like medium (aether) reproduces all the forces in Nature: electric, magnetic, nuclear, gravity, atomic, van der Waals, Casimir, etc. The theory also depicts the internal structure of the atom and of the fundamental particles that are currently known. Thus, a new concept of physics, capable of tackling entirely new problems, is introduced.

Protecting Public Housing Tenants in Australia from Forced Eviction: The Fundamental Importance of the Human Right to Adequate Housing and Home
Creators: name: Bell, Kevin
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: The tenure of most public housing tenants in Australia is precarious because it can be terminated without cause, raising the spectre of forced eviction. In that context, this article examines the fundamental importance of the human right to adequate housing and home. After fi rst grounding the debate in the idea of home rather than traditional property law, this article examines the scope of the human right to adequate housing and home afforded under international law. The international position is then contrasted with a comprehensive review of the public housing regimes in each Australian state and territory. The article concludes by exploring the dissonance between international obligations and domestic law, and contends that it can only be resolved by enlarging the frame of reference of housing policy, administration and law to encompass human rights and by reforming state and territory law and administration in respect of public rental housing in accordance with the human right to adequate housing and home, as has been done in the Australian Capital Territory

description: We report on the results of a spectroscopic and photometric study of a new cataclysmic variable, identified as optical counterpart of the X-ray source RX J1554.2+2721 detected by ROSAT. The spectroscopic observations of the relatively bright (~16.5mag) object show systematic radial velocity variations with a semi-amplitude of ~140 km/sec. Besides the clear presence of distinct low and high states there are periodic photometric light variations with an amplitude of about 0.15 magnitude in the R band. The orbital period is 2.753h thus being within the period gap, at its upper border. The flux distribution in the spectrum of the object shows a substantial contribution of a M4V secondary, and also bears clear signs of cyclotron emission. Thus, we classify the discovered object as a new member of the AM Her class of magnetic cataclysmic variables. This classification is further supported by the soft X-ray spectrum, the characteristic profiles of the emission lines, the tomography map and the shape of the orbital light curve. A simple fitting of the spectrum in the low and high states suggests a reduced mass transfer rate in RX J1554.2+2721, compared to similar objects outside the period gap.

description: To determine the average time and time distribution function for the successful implementation of a computer "DDoS attack " on the elements of the telecommunications network of railway transport (TCNRT). Methods: To solve the problem, the methods of general systems theory, information security theory, probability theory, queuing theory, as well as the method of topological transformation of stochastic networks were used. The calculations were performed using the MathCAD software package. Results: We propose a mathematical model of the process of implementation by the violator of the "DDoS attack" on TCNRT and finding the probabilistic-temporal characteristics of the cyber action system of the violator, the purpose of which is to disrupt the transportation management process. Practical relevance: The proposed model provides for finding the initial data for a comprehensive assessment of the stability of the functioning of the TCNRT, functioning in the conditions of the cyber impact of the intruder on the network elements of the TCNRT. It has been established that this model adequately reflects the modeled process, is sensitive to changes in input data, allows obtaining results consistent with logic, as well as identifying appropriate directions for ensuring the cybersecurity of TCNRT.

description: Introduction: Iron overloading disorders are associated with decreased bone mineral density. However, evidence on fracture risk is scarce. Therefore, we evaluated the risk of fracture associated with iron overload disorders, compared to matched controls.

Methods: Using THIN, a Cegedim database of UK general practice data, we identified patients >18 years with elevated iron (ferritin value >1000 µg/L) or an eligible diagnosis code for iron overloading disorders between 2010-2022. The first date of elevated iron or a diagnosis code defined the index date for iron overload patients, who were matched with to up to 10 controls. Time-varying confounder adjusted Cox proportional hazard models estimated the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals. Analyses were stratified by osteoporotic fracture site (hip, vertebral, humerus, forearm), evidence of elevated serum ferritin at baseline (ferritin >1000 µg/L), and sex.

Results: We identified 20,264 eligible patients and 192,956 controls. Overall, there was a 55% increased risk of any fracture among iron overload patients (HR 1.55 [1.42-1.68]). Fracture risk was increased at all sites, with the highest risk observed for vertebral fractures (HR 1.97 [1.63-2.10]). Patients with ferritin >1000µg/L had a 91% increased risk of any fracture (HR 1.91 [1.73-2.16]) and a 2.5-fold increased risk of vertebral fractures (HR 2.51 [2.01-3.12]). There was no increased risk among patients without elevated serum ferritin at any site. Fracture risk was similar between sexes.

Discussion: This large population-based cohort study found a 55% increased risk of fracture associated with iron overload. The risk was highest among patients with laboratory confirmed iron overload, highlighting the importance for clinicians to consider initiating osteoporosis therapy in patients with serum ferritin >1000 µg/L to minimize fracture risk.

description: Sp. 1. Isogenus infuscatus. Newman . The antennae are about half as long as the body, rather slender, and composed of sixty-eight joints, which are so short and so closely compressed together, especially towards the base, that the sutures separating them are only perceptible under a lens of high power: the basal joint, which, in accordance with general structure, is much larger and stouter than the rest, is black; the remaining sixty-seven joints appear of a dingy-brown colour, paler beneath. The head is broad and flat, with very prominent lateral eyes, and three transparent ocelli: its colour is black, with a yellow patch on each side, surrounding the base of the antenna, and extending along the anterior margin of the eye. The prothorax is much narrower than the head; its transverse and longitudinal diameters nearly equal; but its posterior narrower than its anterior margin; both are straight. All the wings are opaque, and smoky-black, with the costal margin yellow: in the fore-wings, this yellow margin, occupying the space between the costal and subcostal nervure, is traversed by seventeen transverse nervures, twelve of which, nearest the base, are nearly direct, five towards the apex very oblique. The body is somewhat brown above, and dingy-yellow beneath. All the legs have the coxae and the basal portion (extending beyond the middle) of the femora yellow, the apical portion of the femora black; the protibiae are entirely black, the meso- and meta-tibiae black at the extremities, and yellow in the middle; all the tarsi are black. The caudal setae arc rather shorter and rather stouter than the antennae, slightly hairy, and composed of twenty-five joints; those nearest the base are very short, and closely united. The expansion of the wings is 1’75 inch. Inhabits Hong Kong, China. Collected in that island, and presented to the British Museum collection, by John Charles Bowring, Esq., of Hong Kong. Obs. This insect can scarcely be referred to Isogenus, as I ventured to restrict that genus in the paper to which this forms an addendum, and in which I described the present species from an imperfect specimen in the cabinet of the Rev. F. W. Hope.

description: We study the standard angular momentum algebra $[x_i,x_j]=iλε_{ijk}x_k$ as a noncommutative manifold $R^3_λ$. We show that there is a natural 4D differential calculus and obtain its cohomology and Hodge * operator. We solve the spin 0 wave equation and some aspects of the Maxwell or electromagnetic theory including solutions for a uniform electric current density, and we find a natural Dirac operator. We embed $R^3_λ$ inside a 4D noncommutative spacetime which is the limit $q\to 1$ of q-Minkowski space and show that $R^3_λ$ has a natural quantum isometry group given by the quantum double $D(U(su(2)))$ as a singular limit of the $q$-Lorentz group. We view $\R^3_λ$ as a collection of all fuzzy spheres taken together. We also analyse the semiclassical limit via minimum uncertainty states $|j,θ,ϕ>$ approximating classical positions in polar coordinates.

description: This paper integrates economic and physical models to assess how federal crop revenue insurance programs might affect land use, cropping systems, and environmental quality in the U.S. Corn Belt region. The empirical framework includes econometric models that predict land conversion, crop choices, and crop rotations at the parcel-level based on expectation and variance of crop revenues, land quality, climate conditions, and physical characteristics at each site. The predictions are then combined with site-specific environmental production functions to determine the effect of revenue insurance on nitrate runoff and leaching, soil water and wind erosion, and carbon sequestration. Results suggest that crop insurance will have small impacts on conversions of non-cropland to cropland, and somewhat more significant impacts on crop choice. These changes in crop mix have small impacts on agricultural pollution.

Assessing the Impact of a ‘For Government' Review on the Nanotechnology Regulatory Landscape

Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: A number of jurisdictions have now completed reviews of the regulatory issues raised by nanotechnologies. Chronologically, these reviews have moved from treating nanotechnologies as a narrow matter of chemical regulation to a broader perspective that considers both the technology’s impact on end-products such as foods and cosmetics as well as the endof-life issues raised by such products. While the exact nature and focus of these reviews have varied, there is increasing specifi city in their analysis and outcomes. Australia was one of the fi rst jurisdictions to initiate a wide-ranging and independent review of its regulatory frameworks to deal with the potential human and environmental health and safety risks posed by nanotechnologies. It has been fi ve years since the report was handed to the Australian Government.1 The aim of this article is to critically assess the impact of the regulatory review on the federal government’s policy on nanotechnologies. In doing so, this article outlines regulatory developments that have occurred since the report’s publication. Particular attention is given to examining the activities that have occurred within the regulatory agencies identifi ed within the report. The broader policy and regulatory landscape for nanotechnologies in Australia is also considered. This article is both timely and relevant due to current efforts by other jurisdictions to complete their own regulatory reviews. It articulates the impact of one regulatory review on policy developments within Australia, and discusses possible reasons for the domestic responses to that review.

description: There is an ongoing debate about whether changes in labor regulations such as Right to Work (RTW) laws are contributing to the rising trend of income inequality in the U.S. We adopt Synthetic Control Method (SCM) for comparative case study to examine the impact of a state’s adoption of RTW law on its income inequality. We use a wide range of inequality measures for Idaho, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas, states that enacted RTW between the 1960s and the 2000s. We find that RTW did not impact income inequality in these states. This result is underpinned by additional finding of a lack of impact of RTW on unionization and investment.

Both the antennae are broken, so that their original length and number of joints cannot be ascertained; the remaining joints are nearly equal in length and breadth; their sutures are very evident; their colour is faded green. The head is flat, and of a green colour, the eyes being prominent and black; the ocelli three, and colourless. The prothorax is flat, rather narrower than the head; its transverse diameter slightly the greatest, its anterior margin nearly straight, posterior rounded, colour green. The fore-wings are glossy, and of a delicate pea-green, the nervures somewhat darker, the hind-wings are more hyaline, but delicately tinted with green, the costal half is glossy. The entire body, legs, and caudal setae appear to have been green, although now faded; the setae scarcely exceed a fourth of the body in length; they are composed of thirteen joints. Expansion of the wings, 2 inches. Inhabits New Zealand. In the cabinet of Mr. Saunders. It is necessary to observe, that Mr. Saunders having placed many Australian insects in the hands of Mr. Gray, of the British Museum, for description, that gentleman has kindly allowed me to publish those which belong to families I have endeavoured to elucidate. Obs. This large and striking species agrees but indifferently with the genus Chloroperla, or, indeed, with either of the restricted genera of Perlidae, thus showing how dangerous is the task of generic subdivision.

description: We analyze the rotation curves that correspond to a Bose--Einstein Condensate (BEC) type halo surrounding a Schwarzschild--type black hole to confront predictions of the model upon observations of galaxy rotation curves. We model the halo as a Bose--Einstein condensate in terms of a massive scalar field that satisfies a Klein--Gordon equation with a self--interaction term. We also assume that the bosonic cloud is not self--gravitating. To model the halo, we apply a simple form of the Thomas--Fermi approximation that allows us to extract relevant results with a simple and concise procedure. Using galaxy data from a subsample of SPARC data base, we find the best fits of the BEC model by using the Thomas--Fermi approximation and perform a Bayesian statistics analysis to compare the obtained BEC's scenarios with the Navarro--Frenk--White (NFW) model as pivot model. We find that in the centre of galaxies we must have a supermassive compact central object, i.e., supermassive black hole, in the range of $\log_{10} M/M_\odot = 11.08 \pm 0.43$ which condensate a boson cloud with average particle mass $M_Φ= (3.47 \pm 1.43 )\times10^{-23}$ eV and a self--interaction coupling constant $\log_{10} (λ\; [{\rm pc}^{-1}]) = -91.09 \pm 0.74 $, i.e., the system behaves as a weakly interacting BEC. We compare the BEC model with NFW concluding that in general the BEC model using the Thomas--Fermi approximation is strong enough compared with the NFW fittings. Moreover, we show that BECs still well--fit the galaxy rotation curves and, more importantly, could lead to an understanding of the dark matter nature from first principles.

Corporate Social Responsibility, the Business Judgment Rule and Human Rights in Australia — Warm Inner Glow or Warming the Globe?

description: Corporate social responsibility (‘CSR’) has had a renaissance in corporate governance. CSR has been regarded more often as a commercial law concept which has been readily applied in the commercial boardroom but has received little judicial consideration in the courtroom. Recent corporate reform in Australia in relation to directors’ duties, specifi cally the business judgment rule, has provided a ‘safe harbour’ corporate governance framework for the exercise of directors’ duties generally, including, and perhaps unexpectedly, in relation to CSR-related activities. More broadly, the concepts which underpin CSR are also consistent with contemporary human rights developments. Importantly, CSR also has a potential role to play in relation to corporate attitudes towards climate change, provided it is supported by active decision-making by directors of both transnational corporations and small to medium enterprises

description: We suggest simple models which produce the suitable fermion mass hierarchies and flavor mixing angles based on the 6 dimensional N=1 supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified theory compactified on a $T^2/(Z_2 \times Z_2')$ orbifold. We introduce 6D and 5D matter fields, which contains the 1st and 2nd generation matter fields as the zero modes, respectively. The 3rd generation matter fields are located on a 4D brane. The Yukawa couplings for bulk fields are suppressed by volume factors from extra dimensions. The suitable fermion mass hierarchies and flavor mixings are generated by the volume suppression factors.

description: The case of Hadi Ahmadi is one of the highest profi le prosecutions of people smuggling in Australia. Convicted in August 2010 for bringing over 500 asylum seekers to Australia, Mr Ahmadi’s case is one of only a small number of prosecutions involving an organiser of migrant smuggling ventures — unlike the hundreds of cases before Australian courts which involve Indonesian captains and crew working on migrant smuggling vessels. This article explores the case of Mr Ahmadi to shed light into the so-called ‘people smugglers’ business model’, which successive Australian Governments from both sides of politics are determined to ‘crush’. The article examines the facts of Mr Ahmadi’s offending, the criminal proceedings against him, and draws comparison to other organiser cases and to the general patterns of people smuggling prosecutions in Australia. Findings of this research cast doubt over the Government’s rhetoric and its strategies to prevent and suppress migrant smuggling

description: Several unique factors will make 2015 a watershed year for the CRP. First, the Agriculture Act of 2014 mandates an acreage reduction in CRP enrollment from thirty-two million acres nationwide to no more than twenty-four million acres by 2018. According to the Agriculture Act of 2014 total CRP acreage must be no more than twenty-six million acres in 2015. The mandate comes at a ‘ten-year interval’ from the beginning of the CRP, meaning that a large amount of CRP acreage is up for renewal. According to an Economic Research Service report published in August 2014, an estimated two million acres are scheduled for reenrollment at the end of fiscal year 2014. Complicating the situation further is the drastic change in crop prices over the last year. According to the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute’s December 2014 U.S. Crop Price Update, corn price has fallen from a national average of $6.89/bu in 2012 to $4.46/bu 2013, grain sorghum from $6.33/bu to $4.48/bu, wheat from $7.70/bu to $6.70/bu, and soybeans from $14.40/bu to $13.00/bu. Prior to the price decline, per acre return disparity between CRP land and cropland would have been more significant, therefore making the decision to stay in the program or use the land for production easier for producers. This research has several objectives. The first is to provide a decision aid for producers that will help them decide at what bid price they should enter the program. This aid will take in to consideration the decision to stay in the CRP, or to go back in to production of several major row crops, or livestock. The second objective of this study will be to develop a ‘probability of acceptance’ for farmers bidding in to this program, based on their bid amount and EBI score. The final result of this paper will be a comprehensive decision aid that will inform producers on the best financial choice they can make, using their probability of acceptance.

description:
Based on the well-known observation that social norms can guide individual behavior, this paper empirically examines the causal effect of related information interventions on climate protection activities, measured through incentivized donations. In our experimental setting, we distinguish between descriptive social norms by providing information about individual climate protection activities in Germany, injunctive social norms by providing information about what people in Germany think about the need for climate protection activities, and a combination of both social norms. Based on representative survey data from more than 1,600 individuals in Germany, our econometric analysis shows some weak evidence that information about both descriptive and injunctive social norms increases donations for climate protection. The decomposition of this estimated average treatment effect reveals that the corresponding treatment particularly has a significantly positive effect at the extensive margin, i.e. on the probability to donate for climate protection. These results suggest that a combined information intervention referring to both descriptive and injunctive social norms is at least able to stimulate the general willingness for climate protection.

description: We present optical follow up observations of the long GRB 001007 between 6.14 hours and ~468 days after the event. An unusually bright optical afterglow (OA) was seen to decline following a steep power law decay with index alpha = -2.03 +/- 0.11, possibly indicating a break in the light curve at t - to < 3.5 days, as found in other bursts. Upper limits imposed by the LOTIS alerting system 6.14 hours after the gamma ray event provide tentative (1.2 sigma) evidence for a break in the optical light curve. The spectral index beta of the OA yields -1.24 +/- 0.57. These values may be explained both by several fireball jet models and by the cannonball model. Fireball spherical expansion models are not favoured. Late epoch deep imaging revealed the presence of a complex host galaxy system, composed of at least two objects located 1.2" (1.7 sigma) and 1.9" (2.7 sigma) from the afterglow position.

description: Sp. 3. ChloroperLa Cyrene. The antennae are nearly as long as the body, and, in comparison with congeneric species, rather stout; the joints, forty in number, are somewhat oval, so as to give the antenna, when viewed under a lens of moderate power, rather a moniliform appearance. The head is not so much flattened as in many species, neither are the eyes very prominent: the ocelli are three. The prothorax is rather wider than the head, and nearly quadrate, but its transverse diameter is slightly the greater; all the angles are acute. The caudal setae are very short and incurved; their joints are fourteen in number. The antennae, head, and every part of the body, are intense black; the legs are black, excepting a yellow space which occupies nearly the basal half of each tibia, but not exactly so, the base itself being black: the wings are semi-opaque, suffused with black. Expansion of the wings, 1 inch. Inhabits New Zealand. In the cabinet of Mr. Saunders. Edward Newman.

description: India has achieved remarkable success in foodgrains production in the last four decades and it has been largely banking on tubewell irrigation. This paper demonstrates theoretically and with the help of econometric results that excess depletion of ground water makes agricultural growth unsustainable in the long-run. Although there is still ground water potential in certain parts of the country and limited scope is also available for utilising surface water, the next frontier of technologies and agricultural research can play the most significant role in this perspective.
Abortion and Conscientious Objection: The New Battleground

Publisher: name: Monash University

Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: This paper examines the vexed issue of conscientious objection and abortion. It begins by outlining the increasing claims to conscientious objection invoked by physicians in reproductive health services. After an examination of developments overseas, the paper turns to the acrimonious debate in Victoria concerning the conscience clause and the ‘obligation to refer’ contained in the Abortion Law Reform Act 2008 (Vic) (‘ALRA’). This paper questions the interpretation by the Catholic Church that the clause breaches its right to freedom of conscience and freedom of religion. We argue that the unregulated use of conscientious objection impedes women’s rights to access safe lawful medical procedures. As such, we contend that a physician’s withdrawal from patient care on the basis of conscience must be limited to certain circumstances. The paper then examines international and national guidelines, international treaties and recommendations of treaty monitoring bodies, laws in other jurisdictions, and trends in case law. The purpose of this examination is to show that the conscientious objection clause and the ‘obligation to refer’ in ALRA is consistent with international practice and laws in other jurisdictions. Finally, the paper turns to the problematic interpretation of conscience and moral responsibility in the context of abortion. We believe that narrow interpretations of conscience must be challenged, in order to incorporate patients’ rights to include the choice of abortion and other lawful treatments according to their conscience. We conclude that the conscientious objection provisions in ALRA have achieved the right balance and that there is no justifi able legal reason upon which opponents can challenge the law.

Williams v Commonwealth: School Chaplains and the Religious Tests Clause of the Constitution
Creators: name: Beck, Luke
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: This case note examines the High Court’s recent decision in Williams v Commonwealth as it relates to the religious tests clause of s 116 of the Constitution. It was alleged that school chaplains engaged under the National School Chaplaincy Program held offices under the Commonwealth and that the rules governing their appointment constituted a religious test. This case note considers in detail the submissions made by the parties and interveners — something the High Court did not do in its judgment — and critiques the reasoning in the judgments that dealt with the s 116 issues of whether a religious test was involved and whether school chaplains held an office under the Commonwealth. The note also offers a critique of the methodological approach taken to the interpretation of the clause by the Court. It is concluded that the High Court’s decision provides only limited and somewhat confusing guidance on the meaning of this important constitutional provision.
