Kerr/CFT correspondence in a 4D extremal rotating regular black hole with a non-linear magnetic monopole

description: We carry out the Kerr/CFT correspondence in a four-dimensional extremal rotating regular black hole with a non-linear magnetic monopole (NLMM). One problem in this study would be whether our geometry can be a solution or not. We search for the way making our rotating geometry into a solution based on the fact that the Schwarzschild regular black hole geometry with a NLMM can be a solution. However, in the attempt to extend the Schwarzschild case that we can naturally consider, it turns out that it is impossible to construct a model in which our geometry can be a exact solution. We manage this problem by making use of the fact that our geometry can be a solution approximately in the whole space-time except for the black hole's core region. As a next problem, it turns out that the equation to obtain the horizon radii is given by a fifth-order equation due to the regularization effect. We overcome this problem by treating the regularization effect perturbatively. As a result, we can obtain the near-horizon extremal Kerr (NHEK) geometry with the correction of the regularization effect. Once obtaining the NHEK geometry, we can obtain the central charge and the Frolov-Thorne temperature in the dual CFT. Using these, we compute its entropy through the Cardy formula, which agrees with the one computed from the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy.

description: The dwindling resources of fossil fuels coupled with the steady increase in energy consumption have encouraged research interest in alternative and renewable energy sources. Biodiesel is one of the most promising alternatives for fossil fuels. To foster market competitiveness for biodiesel, it is necessary to produce biodiesel from economically viable and environmentally sound feed stocks. This study deals with the biodiesel production from tannery solid waste. The tannery solid wastes, from different sections of processing units, have been characterized for their fat content. The investigation proved that it was the fleshing waste which has a potential fat content (23%) to be used as biodiesel feed stock. The fleshing oil converted to free acid methyl ester (FAME) or biodiesel using a two step acid and base catalyzed esterification and transesterification reactions respectively. The effect of oil to alcohol molar ratio, the amount of catalyst and temperature on biodiesel production was investigated using Design Expert 7.0.0 and optimum reaction conditions were determined. The fuel properties of the biodiesel were also studied according to the ASTM standard. The result showed that fleshing oil can be a very viable and commercially competitive biodiesel feed stock even though some of the properties like cloud point needs further improvement.

description: We consider three different communication tasks for quantum broadcast channels, and we determine the capacity region of a Hadamard broadcast channel for these various tasks. We define a Hadamard broadcast channel to be such that the channel from the sender to one of the receivers is entanglement-breaking and the channel from the sender to the other receiver is complementary to this one. As such, this channel is a quantum generalization of a degraded broadcast channel, which is well known in classical information theory. The first communication task we consider is classical communication to both receivers, the second is quantum communication to the stronger receiver and classical communication to other, and the third is entanglement-assisted classical communication to the stronger receiver and unassisted classical communication to the other. The structure of a Hadamard broadcast channel plays a critical role in our analysis: the channel to the weaker receiver can be simulated by performing a measurement channel on the stronger receiver's system, followed by a preparation channel. As such, we can incorporate the classical output of the measurement channel as an auxiliary variable and solve all three of the above capacities for Hadamard broadcast channels, in this way avoiding known difficulties associated with quantum auxiliary variables.

Sentencing offenders with mental health problems: a principled approach
Creators: name: Walvisch, Jamie Mark
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: It is widely acknowledged that a significant proportion of offenders suffer from mental health problems. While much has been written about the circumstances in which such offenders should be held responsible for their actions, or should be considered fit to stand trial, little academic work has been done to examine the ways in which their mental health problems should be taken into account in sentencing. This thesis addresses that gap. Part One of the thesis examines the current approach to this issue. It begins by examining the data concerning the incidence of mental health problems amongst offenders. These data indicate that as many as 90 percent of offenders may suffer from mental health problems. This establishes the importance of ensuring that the sentencing system is capable of dealing with the complexities raised by mental health problems in a just and principled fashion. The thesis next focuses on the ways in which mental health problems are currently taken into account in sentencing offenders in Victoria, Australia’s leading jurisdiction in this area. It provides the first comprehensive analysis of the 465 higher court cases in which this issue has been raised since 2007. It highlights a number of problems with the Victorian approach, and argues that the only way to overcome these problems is to reform the sentencing framework. Part Two of the thesis develops a new sentencing framework. This framework is based on Antony Duff’s account of punishment, which holds that the purpose of punishment should be to communicate the censure offenders deserve for having committed a crime, in the hope that they will repent, reform and be reconciled with the community. The thesis contends that Duff’s theory of attacks and endangerments should be used to determine the seriousness of an offence, and uses this theory to create a novel approach to determining a proportionate sentence. It also sets out the circumstances in which it is appropriate to alter or remit an offender’s punishment on the grounds of mercy, and the types of sanction that may be used to achieve the purposes of punishment. Part Three of the thesis shows how this new sentencing framework would operate when sentencing offenders who suffer from mental health problems, and demonstrates the merits of the framework. It examines the different points at which an offender’s mental health problems may need to be taken into account by a sentencer: when assessing the offender’s level of culpability; when ascertaining the appropriate mode of punishment; when determining the severity of the sanction to impose; and when considering whether the offender should be shown mercy. It outlines the types of mental health problems that should be taken into account at each of these points, and the circumstances in which they will be relevant. It concludes by establishing a clear four-stage process that a sentencer should follow in sentencing offenders with mental health problems.
Fractal Weyl law for the Ruelle spectrum of Anosov flows

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Dynamical Systems (math.DS)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: On a closed manifold $M$, we consider a smooth vector field $X$ that generates an Anosov flow. Let $V\in C^{\infty}\left(M;\mathbb{R}\right)$ be a smooth function called potential. It is known that for any $C>0$, there exists some anisotropic Sobolev space $\mathcal{H}_{C}$ such that the operator $A=-X+V$ has intrinsic discrete spectrum on $\mathrm{Re}\left(z\right)>-C$ called Ruelle resonances. In this paper, we show a fractal Weyl law: the density of resonances is bounded by $O\left(\left\langle ω\right\rangle ^{\frac{n}{1+β_{0}}}\right)$ where $ω=\mathrm{Im}\left(z\right)$, $n=\mathrm{dim}M-1$ and $0<β_{0}\leq1$ is the Hölder exponent of the distribution $E_{u}\oplus E_{s}$ (strong stable and unstable). We also obtain some more precise results concerning the wave front set of the resonances and the invertibility of the transfer operator. Since the dynamical distributions $E_{u}$,$E_{s}$ are non smooth, we use some semi-classical analysis based on wave packet transform associated to an adapted metric $g$ on $T^{*}M$ and construct some specific anisotropic Sobolev spaces.

description: Using localization techniques, we compute the path integral of $N=2$ SUSY gauge theory coupled to matter on the hemisphere $HS^4$, with either Dirichlet or Neumann supersymmetric boundary conditions. The resulting quantities are wave-functions of the theory depending on the boundary data. The one-loop determinant are computed using $SO(4)$ harmonics basis. We solve kernel and co-kernel equations for the relevant differential operators arising from gauge and matter localizing actions. The second method utilizes full $SO(5)$ harmonics to reduce the computation to evaluating $Q_{SUSY}^2$ eigenvalues and its multiplicities. In the Dirichlet case, we show how to glue two wave-functions to get back the partition function of round $S^4$. We will also describe how to obtain the same results using $SO(5)$ harmonics basis.

title: The Shadow Learning Landscape of Paramedic Student Experiences
title: A Complexity Sensitized Exploration of the Learning-Technology-Spaces Intersection
titleType: Subtitle
Creators: name: Chiriac, Vlad
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2022

description: This thesis explores how paramedic students’ experiences are influenced by complex interplays of physical spaces, technologies and learning practices. In doing so, it highlights a shadow learning landscape, student-crafted in parallel with, but not endorsed by, institutional offerings. Prior scholarship highlights healthcare student experiences regarding educational spaces, and technology usage within those spaces. That scholarship emphasizes space as the background and technology as the mediator of customized student experiences, to some extent acknowledges spatial (in)adequacies, and (rarely) presents detail regarding how students shape their own experiences in spaces. I argue that the literature largely underemphasizes the importance of materiality in student experiences with technology in spaces. My thesis presents a case study in paramedic education using a theoretical framework sensitized by complexity thinking – a branch of sociomaterialism. I focus on the concepts of diversity, redundancy, decentralized control, neighbour interactions, enabling constraints and emergence. The first five concepts guide analysis of data generated from interviews-to-the-double, drawings and screen-captures. Emergence guides subsequent analytical work uncovering higher-level themes that draw the initial concepts together. My findings describe wide ranging rules, interactions, matters of control, functions and compensatory mechanisms through which students’ experiences are influenced and regulated by spaces and technology. Examples of this shadow learning landscape include a hidden pantry built to assure food access during long-study sessions and impromptu transformations of ambulance patient care spaces into academic study spaces during idle times. My contribution to knowledge is threefold. I introduce a shadow learning landscape model, depicting student experiences as complex adaptive learningtechnology-space interconnections, student co-created, which could indicate when possible institutional intervention in these experiences is needed. I present new facets of student experiences – e.g., using uniforms to co-create calm in chaotic patient care spaces. I supplement knowledge already described in literature with richer detail regarding how students shape their own experiences.

description: Despite the availability of a huge amount of video data accompanied by descriptive texts, it is not always easy to exploit the information contained in natural language in order to automatically recognize video concepts. Towards this goal, in this paper we use textual cues as means of supervision, introducing two weakly supervised techniques that extend the Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) framework: the Fuzzy Sets Multiple Instance Learning (FSMIL) and the Probabilistic Labels Multiple Instance Learning (PLMIL). The former encodes the spatio-temporal imprecision of the linguistic descriptions with Fuzzy Sets, while the latter models different interpretations of each description's semantics with Probabilistic Labels, both formulated through a convex optimization algorithm. In addition, we provide a novel technique to extract weak labels in the presence of complex semantics, that consists of semantic similarity computations. We evaluate our methods on two distinct problems, namely face and action recognition, in the challenging and realistic setting of movies accompanied by their screenplays, contained in the COGNIMUSE database. We show that, on both tasks, our method considerably outperforms a state-of-the-art weakly supervised approach, as well as other baselines.

description: In 2007, the International Court of Justice found that States could be found responsible for acts of genocide under the Genocide Convention. This thesis considers how genocidal intent can be ascribed to a State. The thesis first identifies the tests used by the ICJ and the Darfur Commission to ascribe genocidal intent to the State and then develops these tests with reference to doctrines of international law and international criminal law. The thesis then argues that a vicarious liability test is inappropriate and proposes limiting officials whose actions can be ascribed to the State to those in senior leadership positions.
The entrenchment of judicial review in the Australian states: towards an originalist assessment
Creators: name: Roos, Oscar Iemke
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In Kirk the High Court unanimously held that, based on s 73 of the Australian Constitution, the capacity of the state Supreme Courts to engage in judicial review is constitutionally entrenched where an inferior court or state executive decision-maker makes a decision arguably involving jurisdictional error. The thesis identifies and analyses a range of primary and secondary legal materials from the 19th and early 20th centuries and uses that material to critique the High Court’s originalist reasoning in Kirk and to develop its own originalist assessment of its holding. The thesis sets out a comprehensive originalist methodology of constitutional interpretation which can be used both to identify the original meaning of the text of the Australian Constitution and to interpret its provisions in a manner which departs from that original meaning, through the insertion of ‘judicial implications’ into the text, consistently with the purposes and assumptions of its framers. The thesis then applies that methodology to s 73 and concludes that (i) the original meaning of s 73 does not support the holding in Kirk; (ii) a judicial implication can be inserted into s 73 in order to entrench the jurisdiction of the state Supreme Courts to review of the decisions of inferior state courts exercising state judicial power as a result of the abolition of Privy Council appeals after Federation; and (iii) a judicial implication cannot be inserted into s 73 in order to entrench the jurisdiction of the state Supreme Courts to review the decisions of state administrators.
The abolition of the doctrine of extended common purpose
Creators: name: Gumbleton, Mark J.
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis examines whether the doctrine of extended common purpose should be abolished and, if so, whether the doctrine should be reformed or excised from the common law altogether. To this end, the thesis examines principles of complicity in the context of the law on homicide and whether policy considerations should outweigh legal principle. The thesis reviews the development of the doctrine at common law, including its origins in felony murder and the shift from an objective assessment of secondary liability to a subjective standard. The purported justifications for retaining the doctrine are considered and responded to, including the way in which anomalies and asymmetries are created that result in criminal responsibility being out of step with the moral culpability of a secondary party. The various options for reforming the doctrine are evaluated, including whether the fault standard should be assessed objectively or subjectively and whether strict intent is preferable to some lesser form of fault, such as knowledge or foresight of the consequences or risk. The approaches taken in the Code jurisdictions (including Canada and New Zealand) are considered, as well as recent recommendations made by law reform bodies in England and Wales, New South Wales and Victoria to codify the law of complicity. It is concluded that the doctrine should be abolished. It is a modem mistake of the criminal law that ignored an alternative line of cases focusing on common purpose and manslaughter. Traditional common purpose liability is sufficient to determine whether the secondary party ought to be held criminally responsible for murder, manslaughter or entitled to an acquittal. There is no need to reform the doctrine as the common law is otherwise equipped to deal with the criminal responsibility of the secondary party.

description: Hybrid spin-mechanical systems have great potentials in sensing, macroscopic quantum mechanics, and quantum information science. In order to induce strong coupling between an electron spin and the center-of-mass motion of a mechanical oscillator, a large magnetic gradient is usually required, which is difficult to achieve. Here we show that strong coupling between the electron spin of a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center and the torsional vibration of an optically levitated nanodiamond can be achieved in a uniform magnetic field. Thanks to the uniform magnetic field, multiple spins can strongly couple to the torsional vibration at the same time. We propose to utilize this new coupling mechanism to realize the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick (LMG) model by an ensemble of NV centers in a levitated nanodiamond. The quantum phase transition in the LMG model and finite number effects can be observed with this system. We also propose to generate torsional superposition states and realize torsional matter-wave interferometry with spin-torsional coupling.

All the way to the UN: is petitioning a UN human-rights treaty body worthwhile?
Creators: name: Ball, Olivia
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: What evidence is there that accepted methods and mechanisms of human rights protection achieve their aims? The present study examines one avenue of redress offered by the United Nations: the quasi-judicial determination by treaty committees of complaints of rights violations brought by individuals against states. In this first comprehensive assessment of cases won against Australia, quantitative analysis of the committees’ work and qualitative study of petitioners’ experience of the process offer a valuable new perspective on the relative merits of individual communications. Australia is a stable, democratic nation where people generally enjoy peace, prosperity and the rule of law. However, it lacks comprehensive domestic legal protection of human rights, and has no intermediate stratum of a regional court of human rights in the Asia–Pacific. Although it participates in the UN human rights committee procedures – and a high number of complaints has been brought against Australia – its record of response to adverse decisions from these bodies is poor. The present study assesses the perceived merits and pitfalls, from the petitioner’s point of view, of complaining to the UN. Interviews were conducted with 18 people who have lodged a successful complaint against Australia, that is, where a treaty violation was found. Petitioners commented on the risks, time, effort, expense and other costs involved in pursing this form of remedy, relative to the outcomes achieved. Despite a failure by the State Party to implement the committees’ views in at least 80% of cases, most petitioners felt the process was worthwhile.

description: The works in this portfolio test the hypothesis that it is not possible to extrapolate the Newtonian inverse square law of gravity from Solar System to galaxy scales. In particular, I look into various tests of Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND), which posits a modification below a very low acceleration threshold. Although discrepancies with Newtonian dynamics are indeed observed, they can usually be explained by invoking an appropriate distribution of invisible mass known as dark matter (DM). This leads to the standard cosmological paradigm, $Λ$CDM. I consider how it may be distinguished from MOND using collision velocities of galaxy clusters, which should sometimes be much faster in MOND. I focus on measuring these velocities more accurately and conclude that this test ought to be feasible in the near future. For the time being, I look at the much nearer and more accurately observed Local Group (LG) of galaxies. Its main constituents $-$ the Milky Way (MW) and Andromeda (M31) $-$ should have undergone a past close flyby in MOND but not in $Λ$CDM. The fast MW-M31 relative motion around the time of their flyby would have allowed them to gravitationally slingshot any passing LG dwarf galaxies out at high speed. I consider whether there is any evidence for such high-velocity galaxies (HVGs). Several candidates are found in two different $Λ$CDM models of the LG, one written by a founding figure of the paradigm. The properties of these HVGs are similar to what might be expected in MOND, especially their tendency to lie close to a plane. Being more confident of its validity, I then used MOND to determine the escape velocity curve of the MW over the distance range 8$-$50 kpc, finding reasonable agreement with the latest observations. I finish by discussing possible future directions for MOND research.

description: Pre-Courant algebroids are `Courant algebroids' without the Jacobi identity for the Courant-Dorfman bracket. In this paper we examine the corresponding supermanifold description of pre-Courant algebroids and some direct consequences thereof - such as the definition of (sub-)Dirac structures and the notion of the naive quasi-cochain complex. In particular we define symplectic almost Lie 2-algebroids and show how they correspond to pre-Courant algebroids. Moreover, the framework of supermanifolds allows us to economically define and work with pre-Courant algebroids equipped with a compatible non-negative grading. VB-Courant algebroids are natural examples of what we call weighted pre-Courant algebroids, and our approach drastically simplifies working with them. We remark that examples of pre-Courant algebroids are plentiful - natural examples include the cotangent bundle of any almost Lie algebroid.

description: This paper extends the single-item single-stocking location non-stationary stochastic inventory problem to relax the assumption of independent demand. We present a mathematical programming-based solution method that relaxes the assumption of demand independence between time periods in an existing piecewise linear approximation strategy under the receding horizon control framework. Our method can be solved via off-the-shelf mixed-integer linear programming solvers. It can tackle demand under various assumptions: the multivariate normal distribution, a collection of time-series processes, and the Martingale Model of Forecast Evolution. We compare against solutions via stochastic dynamic programming to demonstrate that our method leads to near-optimal solutions.

description: On a Riemannian manifold, lower Ricci curvature bounds are known to be characterized by geodesic convexity properties of various entropies with respect to the Kantorovich-Rubinstein-Wasserstein square distance from optimal transportation. These notions also make sense in a (nonsmooth) metric measure setting, where they have found powerful applications. This article initiates the development of an analogous theory for lower Ricci curvature bounds in timelike directions on a (globally hyperbolic) Lorentzian manifold. In particular, we lift fractional powers of the Lorentz distance (a.k.a. time separation function) to probability measures on spacetime, and show the strong energy condition of Hawking and Penrose is equivalent to geodesic convexity of the Boltzmann-Shannon entropy there. This represents a significant first step towards a formulation of the strong energy condition and exploration of its consequences in nonsmooth spacetimes, and hints at new connections linking the theory of gravity to the second law of thermodynamics.

description: The nuclear norm minimization (NNM) is commonly used to approximate the matrix rank by shrinking all singular values equally. However, the singular values have clear physical meanings in many practical problems, and NNM may not be able to faithfully approximate the matrix rank. To alleviate the above-mentioned limitation of NNM, recent studies have suggested that the weighted nuclear norm minimization (WNNM) can achieve a better rank estimation than NNM, which heuristically set the weight being inverse to the singular values. However, it still lacks a rigorous explanation why WNNM is more effective than NMM in various applications. In this paper, we analyze NNM and WNNM from the perspective of group sparse representation (GSR). Concretely, an adaptive dictionary learning method is devised to connect the rank minimization and GSR models. Based on the proposed dictionary, we prove that NNM and WNNM are equivalent to L1-norm minimization and the weighted L1-norm minimization in GSR, respectively. Inspired by enhancing sparsity of the weighted L1-norm minimization in comparison with L1-norm minimization in sparse representation, we thus explain that WNNM is more effective than NMM. By integrating the image nonlocal self-similarity (NSS) prior with the WNNM model, we then apply it to solve the image denoising problem. Experimental results demonstrate that WNNM is more effective than NNM and outperforms several state-of-the-art methods in both objective and perceptual quality.
Supported decision-making: a disability and human rights-based concept for mental health law
Creators: name: Gooding, Piers Michael
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis examines whether or not the supported decision-making model provides a conceptual and practical alternative to the traditional substituted decision-making approach to mental health laws. Advancements in international human rights law, in particular the coming into force of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), have generated new ideas and standards in law, policy and practice governing the provision of healthcare and disability support. One of these ideas, ‘supported decision-making,’ is advanced by the CRPD as the preferred response when the legal capacity of a person with a disability is potentially compromised. However, its operation in mental health law and policy and in practical support for people with psychosocial (mental health) disabilities remains unclear. This thesis seeks to identify what form supported decision-making may take, or may already take, in mental health law, policy and practice. The thesis concludes that supported decision-making, as it is advanced in the CRPD, addresses many but not all persistent issues in contemporary mental health laws. In particular, it provides people with psychosocial disabilities with substantive rights to access support services, as well as protecting against substituted decision-making under current laws. Ultimately, as a human rights concept that is embedded in the CRPD, supported decision-making holds promise as a alternative for the substituted decision-making approach of current mental health law. This thesis sets out to refine the conceptual understanding of supported decision-making in protecting the rights of persons with psychosocial disability in legal capacity-related laws, and offers recommendations for creating a ‘supported decision-making regime’ in domestic law and policy.
