Intellectual Property Protection for Animals in Thailand

Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: The Thai government endeavoured to introduce a sui generis system for protecting new animal breeds. If the existing Thai intellectual property laws provide a sufficient level of protection for animals and animal breeds to meet Thai government policy objectives in this area, Thailand may not need to provide further intellectual property protection for them. This thesis examined the extent to which animals and animal breeds have protection under the Patent Act B.E.2522 (1979) as amended by the Patent Act (No 2) B.E.2535 (1992) and the Patent Act (No 3) B.E.2542 (1999) Act and the Trade Secrets Act B.E.2545 (2002) as amended by the Trade Secrets Act (No 2) B.E.2558 (2015). The Patent Act B.E.2522 (1979) is unlikely to provide protection for animals and animal breeds. Animals and animal breeds are not the subject matter of product patent protection and process patent protection does not extend to animals and animal breeds produced by the use of the patented process. However, the Trade Secrets Act B.E.2545 (2002) as an alternative form of protection provides some level of protection for animals and animal breeds. The Trade Secrets Act B.E.2545 (2002) provides indirect protection for animals and animal breeds through protection of genetic information and trade information related to animals and animal breeds. Such information does not necessarily lose its secrecy when animals and animal breeds are generally known or accessible. Trade secret protection for animals and animal breeds through protection of genetic information is also regarded as sufficient by the various stakeholders who were interviewed in the course of this project. Consequently, the existing level of intellectual property protection for animals and animal breeds is sufficient. There is no demonstrated reason at present for Thailand to introduce a new form of intellectual property protection for animals and animal breeds.
Collective dominance and oligopoly control in European competition law: Dealing with persistent oligopoly in markets such as telecommunications
Creators: name: Holmes, James Robert
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: This thesis is a study of the development of the law relating to collective dominance and other means of regulating oligopolies where competition may be ineffective or weak. It examines the approaches adopted to regulate anti-competitive arrangements in the context of oligopolies; and the way in which courts have inferred ‘intentionality’ in relation to cooperation and collusion, and distinguished this from conscious parallel behaviour that may otherwise develop in oligopolistic markets.
 The thesis focuses on the development of the concept of collective dominance in the European Union, based on Article 102 of the European Union Treaty. In the European Union the relevant case law is more extensive than elsewhere and has not been constrained by the criminal law settings that apply, for example, to antitrust law in the United States.
 The telecommunications sector has been selected as a case study to illustrate the application of collective dominance law and policy because it is a sector characterised by persistent oligopoly. In addition, it is a sector that is fundamentally important as a driving force for the development of the online society and online economy that increasingly define the way transactions are conducted.
 The thesis examines the development of both the economic literature and the case law on collective dominance in Europe before and after the seminal Airtours case of 2002, and also examines more recent developments that suggest a movement away from reliance on collective dominance law for oligopoly regulation and control. A specific variant of this recent development in the telecommunications sector in the European Union is examined.
 The thesis concludes that the development of the concept of collective dominance has involved adherence as far as possible to the explicit agreement paradigm, with retention of the central notion of intentionality, albeit in an increasingly attenuated form. Although collective dominance is a structural concept it became conflated with the behavioural concept of tacit collusion from an early date and has remained so since. The courts have failed to effectively address the economic perspective on collective dominance, which is concerned with outcomes not with the intentionality of the competitors involved.
 The research has explored the limits of collective dominance and tacit collusion as useful means by which regulators might intervene for ex ante regulation in oligopolistic markets, and has concluded that these concepts can no longer be relied upon for their intended regulatory purposes and that regulatory and legislative means will likely be required for effective oligopoly control.

description: In a seminal paper, McAfee (1992) presented the first dominant strategy truthful mechanism for double auction. His mechanism attains nearly optimal gain-from-trade when the market is sufficiently large. However, his mechanism may leave money on the table, since the price paid by the buyers may be higher than the price paid to the sellers. This money is included in the gain-from-trade and in some cases it accounts for almost all the gain-from-trade, leaving almost no gain-from-trade to the traders. We present SBBA: a variant of McAfee's mechanism which is strongly budget-balanced. There is a single price, all money is exchanged between buyers and sellers and no money is left on the table. This means that all gain-from-trade is enjoyed by the traders. We generalize this variant to spatially-distributed markets with transit costs.

Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: Public confidence in the systems for appointing judges and ensuring judicial accountability is vital to maintaining confidence in an independent judiciary. This thesis examines the reforms which were made to the judicial appointments and accountability systems in Malaysia as part of the ‘Delivering Justice, Renewing Trust’ reforms in 2008. The reforms were implemented for the purpose of restoring public trust and confidence in the Malaysian judiciary’s independence and integrity, following a period of two decades during which that trust and confidence had been severely eroded due to the actions of both the government and elements within the judiciary. The thesis aims to identify the systemic weaknesses in the pre-reform appointments and accountability systems which enabled that outcome to occur. It then analyzes the reformed systems to evaluate their effectiveness in remedying those systemic weaknesses, in re-establishing an independent judiciary which has the necessary capacity to exercise decisional independence when performing the judicial function, and also in ensuring that any failure in judicial independence and integrity can be dealt with properly. The thesis considers whether the reforms can ultimately satisfy public confidence that they have sufficiently strengthened the conditions for judicial independence and integrity for the future. No previous scholarship has undertaken such an analysis and this thesis aims to make a modest first contribution to evaluating the reforms.

description: While a significant body of investigations have been focused on the process of protein self-assembly, much less is understood about the reverse process of a filament breaking due to thermal motion into smaller fragments, or depolymerization of subunits from the filament ends. Indirect evidence for actin and amyloid filament fragmentation has been reported, although the phenomenon has never been directly observed either experimentally or in simulations. Here we report the direct observation of filament depolymerization and breakup in a minimal, calibrated model of coarse-grained molecular simulation. We quantify the orders of magnitude by which the depolymerization rate from the filament ends $k_\mathrm{off}$ is larger than fragmentation rate $k_{-}$ and establish the law $k_\mathrm{off}/k_- = \exp [( \varepsilon_\| - \varepsilon_\bot) / k_\mathrm{B}T ] = \exp [0.5 \varepsilon / k_\mathrm{B}T ]$, which accounts for the topology and energy of bonds holding the filament together. This mechanism and the order-of-magnitude predictions are well supported by direct experimental measurements of depolymerization of insulin amyloid filaments.

Envisioning Next Generation Mental Health Courts for Australia
Creators: name: Richardson, Elizabeth Anne
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: This thesis undertakes a critical analysis of the policies and practices of Australia’s four mental health courts using the net-widening framework as espoused by Stan Cohen in Visions of Social Control. Mental health courts have been established in Australia as a response to the over-representation of offenders with mental illness in prisons and criminal justice systems more broadly. These courts use a problem-oriented court model to address the challenges that courts and justice systems face in dealing with offenders with mental illness. While there is some evidence that mental health courts are having positive outcomes for some offenders, there has been little critical reflection on whether there are unintended consequences arising from the implementation of mental health courts and whether the rationale for these courts is logically consistent.
 Drawing on the Australian literature and from the United States, mental health courts are analysed through the lens of the wider, denser and different nets framework. The thesis concludes that although the evidence of net-widening is limited, the framework highlights numerous problems with the way that mental health courts are operating. These problems are found at the front-end of mental health courts: in eligibility criteria, selection and assessment processes, informed consent procedures and acceptance into mental health courts. Further, there are concerns with the way in which that mental health courts operate at the ‘back-end’ such as the length of the program, use of conditions, assessment of compliance and use of sanctions and rewards. In Australia, the lack of information about and transparency of many of these procedures is troubling.
 Recommendations are made for next generation Australian mental health courts including reconceptualising the rationale of these courts, and addressing their problematic policies and practices by way of legislation, procedural manuals, and evaluation. This thesis also recommends that jurisdictions wishing to address the over-representation problem must develop comprehensive responses to offenders with mental illness at different points of the criminal justice continuum with different court-linked interventions, such as mental health courts, that have clearly defined rationales, objectives and target groups of offenders.

description: Electron cyclotron resonant scattering features (CRSFs) are observed as absorption-like lines in the spectra of X-ray pulsars. A significant fraction of the computing time for Monte Carlo simulations of these quantum mechanical features is spent on the calculation of the mean free path for each individual photon before scattering, since it involves a complex numerical integration over the scattering cross section and the (thermal) velocity distribution of the scattering electrons. We aim to numerically calculate interpolation tables which can be used in CRSF simulations to sample the mean free path of the scattering photon and the momentum of the scattering electron. The tables also contain all the information required for sampling the scattering electron's final spin. The tables were calculated using an adaptive Simpson integration scheme. The energy and angle grids were refined until a prescribed accuracy is reached. The tables are used by our simulation code to produce artificial CRSF spectra. The electron momenta sampled during these simulations were analyzed and justified using theoretically determined boundaries. We present a complete set of tables suited for mean free path calculations of Monte Carlo simulations of the cyclotron scattering process for conditions expected in typical X-ray pulsar accretion columns (0.01

description: Genetic stability is a key factor in maintaining, survival and reproduction of biological cells. It relies on many processes, but one of the most important is a {\it homologous recombination}, in which the repair of breaks in double-stranded DNA molecules is taking place with a help of several specific proteins. In bacteria this task is accomplished by RecA proteins that are active as nucleoprotein filaments formed on single-stranded segments of DNA. A critical step in the homologous recombination is a search for a corresponding homologous region on DNA, which is called a {\it homology search}. Recent single-molecule experiments clarified some aspects of this process, but its molecular mechanisms remain not well understood. We developed a quantitative theoretical approach to analyze the homology search. It is based on a discrete-state stochastic model that takes into account the most relevant physical-chemical processes in the system. Using a method of first-passage processes, a full dynamic description of the homology search is presented. It is found that the search dynamics depends on the degree of extension of DNA molecules and on the size of RecA nucleoprotein filaments, in agreement with experimental single-molecule measurements of DNA pairing by RecA proteins. Our theoretical calculations, supported by extensive Monte Carlo computer simulations, provide a molecular description of the mechanisms of the homology search.

description: The mixed scalar curvature is one of the simplest curvature invariants of a foliated Riemannian manifold. We explore the problem of prescribing the mixed scalar curvature of a foliated Riemann-Cartan manifold by conformal change of the structure in tangent and normal to the leaves directions. Under certain geometrical assumptions and in two special cases: along a compact leaf and for a closed fibred manifold, we reduce the problem to solution of a leafwise elliptic equation, which has three stable solutions -- only one of them corresponds to the case of a foliated Riemannian manifold.

description: The enzymatic hydrolysis of sunflower oil occurs at the water–oil interface. Therefore, the characterization of dynamic interfacial phenomena is essential for understanding the related mechanisms for process optimizations. Most of the available research works for this purpose deal with averaged interfacial properties determined via reaction kinetics and dynamic surface tension measurements. In addition to the classical approach for dynamic surface tension measurements, here, the evolution of the dilational viscoelasticity of the lipase adsorbed layer at the water–oil interface is characterized using profile analysis tensiometry. It is observed that lipase exhibits nonlinear dilational rheology depending on the concentration and age of the adsorbed layer. For reactive water–oil interfaces, the response of the interfacial tension to the sinusoidal area perturbations becomes more asymmetric with time. Surface-active products of the enzymatic hydrolysis of triglycerides render the interface less elastic during compression compared to the expansion path. The lipolysis products can facilitate desorption upon compression while inhibiting adsorption upon expansion of the interface. Lissajous plots provide an insight into how the hysteresis effect leads to different interfacial tensions along the expansion and compression routes. Also, the droplet shape increasingly deviates from a Laplacian shape, demonstrating an irreversible film formation during aging and ongoing hydrolysis reaction, which supports our findings via interfacial elasticity analysis.
British Public Opposition Surrounding the Townshend Duties Crisis

description: Between 1767 and 1768, the British Parliament passed a series of five laws commonly known as the Townshend Duties which placed new taxes and controls over the American colonies. Coming off the back of the recent Stamp Act Crisis, these laws were similarly met with protest and boycotts by the American colonists prompting some in Britain to express their opposition to these laws. This thesis seeks to answer why did members of the British public engage in written opposition to the Townshend Duties? Through an examination of newspapers and petitions as representations of public opinion, this thesis argues that public opposition grew out of largely economic concerns due to the fear of a worsening trade relationship across the Atlantic that Britons were dependent on. In addition, it argues that factional conflict within Parliament and the concern over political overreach were also catalysts for this opposition, particularly in the context of the John Wilkes Crisis and its accompanying petitioning movement.
Apologies and expectations of forgiveness: Investigating cross-cultural differences between Americans and Indians

description: Committing an offence that harms another individual may sometimes result in interpersonal conflict. To resolve such conflict, the transgressor may attempt to make amends by offering an apology. The likelihood of apologizing for a transgression and expectations that the victim would move on without an apology may depend on the social relational context in which the transgression occurs. Although previous cross-cultural studies on apologies and forgiveness have examined differences between individualistic and collectivist cultures, there is a major gap in research studies that explore differences between Western and South Asian cultures in specific. In an exploratory study (N = 197) featuring 102 American and 95 Indian participants, we asked whether people would apologize for their transgressions in different hypothetical situations. We elicited their beliefs about (i) the victim moving on without an apology, (ii) the victim being upset because of the transgression, (iii) the offence posing a threat to the relationship, and (iv) their motivation to maintain their relationship with the victim. We found that Americans were 5.5% more likely to apologize than Indians. We detected no significant cross-cultural differences in the transgressor’s beliefs that the victim will move on without an apology. We also found a significant gender effect: Men were 3.8% less likely to apologize than women, irrespective of the country of the transgressor. In addition, our findings suggest that there might be larger variations in the likelihood to apologize within both the cultures, rather than across both the cultures. These findings might inform future studies on resolving interpersonal conflict in response to an offence.

description: When simulators are energetically coupled in a co-simulation, residual energies alter the total energy of the full coupled system. This distorts the system dynamics, lowers the quality of the results, and can lead to instability. By using power bonds to realize simulator coupling, the Energy-Conservation-based Co-Simulation method (ECCO) [Sadjina et al. 2016] exploits these concepts to define non-iterative global error estimation and adaptive step size control relying on coupling variable data alone. Following similar argumentation, the Nearly Energy Preserving Coupling Element (NEPCE) [Benedikt et al. 2013] uses corrections to the simulator inputs to approximately ensure energy conservation. Here, we discuss a modification to NEPCE for when direct feed-through is present in one of the coupled simulators. We further demonstrate how accuracy and efficiency in non-iterative co-simulations are substantially enhanced when combining NEPCE with ECCO's adaptive step size controller. A quarter car model with linear and nonlinear damping characteristics serves as a co-simulation benchmark, and we observe reductions of the coupling errors of up to 98% utilizing the concepts discussed here.

description: The scaling theory of Grossmann and Lohse (J. Fluid Mech. 407, 27 (2000)) for the turbulent heat and momentum transfer is extended to the magnetoconvection case in the presence of a (strong) vertical magnetic field. The comparison with existing laboratory experiments and direct numerical simulations in the quasistatic limit allows to restrict the parameter space to very low Prandtl and magnetic Prandtl numbers and thus to reduce the number of unknown parameters in the model. Also included is the Chandrasekhar limit for which the outer magnetic induction field B is large enough such that convective motion is suppressed and heat is transported by diffusion. Our theory identifies four distinct regimes of magnetoconvection which are distinguished by the strength of the outer magnetic field and the level of turbulence in the flow, respectively.

 Major earthquakes occur along the subduction zone margins, where the oceanic lithosphere plunges inside the earth. The previous attempts are based on a 2D understanding of the phenomenon that fails to explain key observations associated with such catastrophic events. This PhD work, which investigates Southeast Asia margin as the case study, provides a novel 3D understanding of subduction margin deformation and large earthquakes by integrating both observational and modelling approaches. It proposes crustal deformation in the Sunda margin since Cenozoic (~30 million years) and current earthquake activity are controlled by neighbouring deep Java subduction.

description: In view of the new European Union chemical policy REACH (Registration, Evaluation, and Authorization of Chemicals), interest in "non-animal" methods for assessing the risk potentials of chemicals towards human health and environment has increased. The incapability of classical modelling approaches in the complex and ill-defined modelling problems of chemicals' environmental behavior, together with an availability of large computing power in modern times raise an interest in applying computational models inspired by the approaches coming from the area of artificial intelligence. This thesis is devoted to promote the applications of neuro/fuzzy techniques in assessing the environmental behavior of chemicals. Some of the bottlenecks lying in the neuro/fuzzy modelling of chemicals' behavior towards environment have been identified and the solutions have been provided based on the techniques of computational intelligence.

Follow-up ALMA studies of HLWAS sources

description: Roman’s High Latitude Wide Area Survey will provide a key piece for our understanding of the distant universe, building a deep and wide census of high-z sources, including AGN hosting galaxies and quasars at very high z. As demonstrated by an accelerating rate of publications in the field (e.g., Endsley et al., 2022, Harikane et al., 2022), ALMA is a powerhouse for pointed characterization of high-z sources, and specifically for z>3, can provide information inaccessible solely from Roman’s observations. 'In particular, access to the redshifted atomic and molecular hydride lines of C, O and possibly N is crucial to obtain accurate spectroscopic redshifts, and to evaluate the state of the cold gas component. Photometry in the submm regime is a key SED point for dusty, star-forming galaxies. The recent installation of the new ALMA Band 1 (35-50 GHz) also opens up the ability to search for 'redshifted low-J CO lines, which are a good diagnostic for estimating the mass of the molecular gas reservoir. At the time of Roman’s mission, ALMA’s Wideband Sensitivity Upgrade (WSU) will be underway, improving the line sensitivity by a factor ~1.5, and providing much more efficient spectral scanning for redshift surveys. Using recent results as examples, this poster reviews possible ALMA follow-up studies of sources identified through the HLWA survey, and quantify how the WSU will deepen the reach of ALMA studies in this field.

How to train a module: testing assumptions of modularity hypothesis in reasoning

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Dual process and modular theories of reasoning have traditionally opposed each other. Recent development of hybrid dual models on the one hand, and a more flexible conception of modularity on the other have arrived at the same point. Both views now focus on the role of background knowledge (mindware, virtual modules) and the interaction between automatic processing mechanisms in producing normatively correct responses on reasoning tasks. One of the key next steps for both theories is understanding how the properties of modules (mindware) change through practice and how that affects reasoning. This thesis set out to develop a method for studying module acquisition, by training participants to use diagrams for representing word problems, structurally similar to the ‘conflict’ problems commonly used in reasoning research. The key properties of modularity (automaticity, rapidity) were evaluated by comparing pre-test and post-test solution accuracy and reaction time under cognitive load on a series of diagram recognition questions. The relevance of the diagramming skill to solving ‘conflict’ problems was assessed by comparing changes in solution accuracy and reaction time under load on a series of ‘conflict’ problems. The results suggest that overall the training was ineffective in creating a virtual module (acquiring new mindware) and influencing performance on ‘conflict’ problems.

description: This article discusses the effects of the current socio-economic crisis on Spanish youth and their political response to it. It does so in three consecutive stages. In the first, it analyses the repercussion of the crisis on young people using information from certain social indicators (employment, mobility and education). It then outlines the subjective perception of the crisis, i.e., how they are experiencing it and what their hopes are regarding the economy and politics. The third part focuses on how young citizens have responded to the situation politically. The article finishes by considering what implications may be drawn from that response in terms of citizenship education.

Orgelbau als musikalisches Bindeglied zwischen der Oberlausitz und dem sächsischen Vogtland
Creators: name: Buchholz, Albin
Publisher: name: Jahrbuch Ständige Konferenz Mitteldeutsche Barockmusik
Year: 2018

description: Der über Jahrhunderte zu verfolgende Musikaustausch zwischen dem sächsischen Vogtland und dem nordwestlichen Böhmen hat auch unter den Organisten und im Orgelbau stattgefunden. Im Zuge der Gegenreformation kamen protestantische Organisten aus Böhmen in das Vogtland (Georg Martius aus Klinghart/Ktizovatka nach Brambach, Johann Krause aus Abertham/Abertamy nach Klingenthal, Moritz Brendel aus Graslitz/Kraslice nach Plauen, hier erfolgreich als Organist, Komponist, Schulmeister und Kurator des Chorus musicus wirkend). Orgelmacher Jacob Schedlich aus Joachimsthal/Jachymov baute Instrumente in Adorf (1625), in der Bergkirche Schleiz (1638/44), in Oelsnitz/V. (1650) sowie in Plauen (1650/51). Von dokumentarischem Wert ist sein "Verzäignis derer OrgelWergk, so Ich Endes benander inerh. 36 Jahren im Königreich Böhemb, Landt zue Meisen, Bergstädten undt andter Orten herumben von Neuen gefertigt" (Stadtarchiv Plauen). Mit der Übersiedlung des Organisten und Orgelbauers Caspar Kerll aus Joachimsthal in das Vogtland wird der Orgelbau im obervogtländischen Adorf sesshaft (Werkstatt ab 1625). Mit Kerlls Adorfer Nachfolger Adam Heinrich Gruber beginnt er nach Nordwestböhmen zu expandieren (Reparaturen und Neubauten in Bleistadt/Olovi 1702, Königsberg/Kynšperk 1702, Stein/Kamen 1717, Schönbach/Luby 1717, 1732) und wird durch die Adorfer Trampelis über drei Generationen beiderseits der Grenze weiter intensiviert (Neuberg/Podhradi 1817). Der vorläufig letzte vogtländische Orgelbauer, dem neben seinen vogtländischen Orgelbauten der Brückenschlag nach Böhmen gelang, ist Carl Eduard Schubert (op.l in Rossbach/Hranice, 1857/60).

A Biography of Daphne
Creators: name: MIRCAN, MIHNEA GABRIEL
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Heritage, archive and museum studies not elsewhere classified

description: The project revisits the classical myth of Daphne and its remarkable visual posterity as starting points for an investigation of trauma and metamorphosis, symbiosis and entanglement. Daphne, the nymph who turned into a tree to evade the assault of the god Apollo, is a figure in, and of, crisis, but also a symbol of resistance and transformation. In this project she is recast as a dynamic model for the ruptures between the ‘figures’ and ‘grounds’ of today’s visual, political and ecological environments. The project contemporizes the myth and puts forward a dialectical model for understanding metamorphosis and identity.

description: We study the second order response functions of a colloidal particle being subjected to an anharmonic potential. Contrary to typical response measurements which require an external perturbation, here we experimentally confirm a recently developed approach where the system's susceptibilities up to second order are obtained from the particle's equilibrium trajectory [PCCP $\mathrm{\bf 17}$, 6653 (2015)]. The measured susceptibilities are in quantitative agreement with those obtained from the response to an external perturbation.

description: Establishing entanglement between distant parties is one of the most important problems of quantum technology, since long-distance entanglement is an essential part of such fundamental tasks as quantum cryptography or quantum teleportation. In this lecture we review basic properties of entanglement and quantum discord, and discuss recent results on entanglement distribution and the role of quantum discord therein. We also review entanglement distribution with separable states, and discuss important problems which still remain open. One such open problem is a possible advantage of indirect entanglement distribution, when compared to direct distribution protocols.

Stealth Urbanism: The Covert Advance of Suburban Density and Diversity
Creators: name: Bennett, Alysia
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Over the past fifty years, the composition of Australian households has shifted from predominantly nuclear families to a plethora of diverse small households, while the percentage of detached, single family dwellings within suburban areas has remained consistently high. Consequently, misalignments between household needs and available stock contribute to housing shortages, cost of living pressures, and suburban sprawl. The Federal Government’s solution is to increase the density of housing stock in established, serviced residential areas through rezoning, despite history indicating that planning legislation is incapable of directing or even controlling development.
 Planning legislation is unable to reconcile density ambitions, diversity needs of variegated households, and de facto development. Therefore this research explores alternative approaches to densification and diversification through infill strategies that negotiate planning constraints, popular conceptions and design tactics. Hobart is used as a test case indicative of Australian regional contexts to explore the potentials and implications of alternative approaches to sustainable suburban intensification.
 The research makes a new contribution to suburban densification research by investigating barriers to the realisation of infill development with a specific focus on the planning process. A comparison of the desired development outcomes with planning allowances revealed a misalignment between the development expectations of planners,
developers and the community which limits the uptake of multi-level residential development. However, by deploying residential architecture in an alternative dispersed, subversive and covert manner, identified planning barriers to residential density and diversity can be circumvented and the development expectations of all parties can be met.
 The research develops of a series of stealth negotiation tactics to counter the prohibitive constraints of planning regulations and decision making processes. The design of infill housing typologies tests tactics and the analysis of local suburbs and international best practice developments generates strategies.
 Stealth Urbanism demonstrates possible pathways to rectify the currently prohibitive misalignments between strategic ambitions and directives by working within, rather than replacing, established planning processes. The research demonstrates that the deployment of residential architecture in a covert manner can facilitate and encourage the diversification and densification of Australian suburbs. Consequently, the research provides a method for realising the network of government strategies that aim to increase the resilience of Australia’s cities.

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)

description: In this paper, we present a fast and effective method for solving the Poisson-modified total variation model proposed in [9]. The existence and uniqueness of the model are again proved using different method. A semi-implicit difference scheme is designed to discretize the derived gradient descent flow with a large time step and can guarantee the restored image to be strictly positive in the image domain. Experimental results show the efficiency and effectiveness of our method.

description: We introduce the use of pure molten ortho-phosphoric acid (o-H3PO4) as an electrolyte for selforganizing electrochemistry. This electrolyte allows for the formation of self-organized oxide architectures (one-dimensional nanotubes, nanochannels, nanopores) on metals such as tungsten that up to now were regarded as very difficult to grow self-ordered anodic oxide structures. In this work, we show particularly the fabrication of thick, vertically aligned tungsten oxide nanochannel layers, with pore diameter of ca. 10 nm, and illustrate their potential use in some typical applications.

description: My artwork-thesis responds to R.D. Laing’s “The Divided Self”; the theory-journey that schizophrenia is reversible. Laing states that by listening to schizophrenics the core wound can be found, that is a catalyst of behaviours created by the schizophrenic (as artist) to hide inside - “the false-self system”. “Ontological insecurity” describes the conditions needed for maladaptive mechanisms to unfold; an element in my practice, and those in my subcultural scene, embodied by “Spiritual Povera”. Written in experimental non and auto-fiction. Liang talks about patients like artworks; I talk about people like patients, artworks, symptoms, signs and clues to psychic and spiritual blocks.
