description: BackgroundContingency management (CM) is an evidence-based intervention providing tangible rewards as positive reinforcement for abstinence from stimulants such as methamphetamine. Integrative approaches targeting affect regulation could boost the effectiveness of CM in community-based settings and optimize HIV/AIDS prevention efforts.
Methods/DesignThis randomized controlled trial with HIV-positive, methamphetamine-using men who have sex with men (MSM) is examining the efficacy of a 5-session, individually delivered positive affect regulation intervention – Affect Regulation Treatment to Enhance Methamphetamine Intervention Success (ARTEMIS). ARTEMIS is designed to sensitize individuals to non-drug-related sources of reward as well as assist with managing depression and other symptoms of stimulant withdrawal during CM. HIV-positive, methamphetamine-using MSM who are enrolled in a community-based, 12-week CM program are randomized to receive ARTEMIS or an attention-matched control condition. Follow-up assessments are conducted at 3, 6, 12, and 15 months after enrollment in CM. Four peripheral venous blood samples are collected over the 15-month follow-up with specimen banking for planned biomarker sub-studies. The primary outcome is mean HIV viral load. Secondary outcomes include: sustained HIV viral suppression, T-helper cell count, psychological adjustment, stimulant use, and potentially amplified transmission risk behavior.
DiscussionImplementation of this randomized controlled trial highlights the importance of delineating boundaries between research activities and community-based service provision. It also provides insights into best practices for integrating the distinct agendas of academic and community partners in clinical research. This trial is currently enrolling and data collection is anticipated to be completed in September of 2018.
The Changed Landscape of the Executive Power of the Commonwealth after the Williams Case

description: In Williams v Commonwealth, Mr Ron Williams challenged the validity of the National School Chaplain’s Program by reference to s 116 of the Constitution and also a long held assumption about the scope of the executive power of the Commonwealth under s 61. The Court upheld the challenge not by relying on s 116 but by rejecting that assumption and ﬁ nding a deﬁ ciency in the same power. This article critically analyses this development and in particular the reduced scope of the executive power of the Commonwealth in the light of this case and its future implications in relation to the Commonwealth’s ability to spend money and enter into contracts with and without the approval of the Parliament. It also explores the nature and effectiveness of the swift legislative response to the case and argues in favour of upholding the validity of one important aspect of that response.
Meaning, Theory and the Interpretation of Constitutional Grants of Power

Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: The High Court has often interpreted grants of power by determining the essential meaning of the terms in which the grants are formulated. This approach appears to have the advantage of certainty and objectivity. However, it may make interpretation too rigid. Grants of power have certain inherent features which push the Court towards a more ﬂ exible approach in which it exercises a choice to bring a new phenomenon within power by the way in which it baptises or names it. The article considers the extent to which two philosophical theories of meaning, criterialism and semantic realism, can reconcile this baptising approach with an essential meaning approach to interpretation. It concludes that both theories are limited in the extent to which they allow terms to extend to matters not in the contemplation of their users so that neither is capable of introducing the type of ﬂ exibility into the essential meaning approach which may be needed to reconcile it with the baptising of new phenomena so as to bring them within power.
Non-Immigrants, Non-Aliens and People of the Commonwealth: Australian Constitutional Citizenship Revisited

Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: In recent years, despite the lack of express reference to a national citizenship in the Australian Constitution, arguments that Australian citizenship has a constitutional dimension have gained momentum amongst both scholars and members of the judiciary. These arguments identify a number of constitutional provisions that are relevant to notions of citizenship and community membership, as well as various conceptual bases which may aid the implication of citizenship rights. What is lacking, however, is an examination of the potential for a constitutional concept of citizenship to unfold in a manner that reconciles the jurisprudence with respect to each of these elements. This article commences this analysis. It argues that the potential for the implication of a constitutional concept of citizenship is strong, but that two things inhibit the coherent development of such a concept at this stage: the inability to point to a precise conceptual basis underpinning it, and a lack of certainty about the interaction between the Commonwealth’s powers over aliens and immigration and the constitutional phrase ‘the people of the Commonwealth’.

description: High-frequency wave propagation has many important applications in acoustics, elastodynamics, and electromagnetics. Unfortunately, the finite element discretization for these problems suffers from significant numerical pollution errors that increase with the wavenumber. It is critical to control these errors to obtain a stable and accurate method. We study the effect of pollution for very long waveguide problems in the context of robust discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin (DPG) finite element discretizations. Our numerical experiments show that the pollution primarily has a diffusive effect causing energy loss in the DPG method while phase errors appear less significant. We report results for 3D vectorial time-harmonic Maxwell problems in waveguides with more than 8000 wavelengths. Our results corroborate previous analysis for the Galerkin discretization of the Helmholtz operator by Melenk and Sauter (2011). Additionally, we discuss adaptive refinement strategies for multi-mode fiber waveguides where the propagating transverse modes must be resolved sufficiently. Our study shows the applicability of the DPG error indicator to this class of problems. Finally, we illustrate the importance of load balancing in these simulations for distributed-memory parallel computing.
Migrant Smuggling, Criminal Fault and the Legal Status of Australia: PJ v The Queen

Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: In PJ v The Queen, the Victorian Court of Appeal clariﬁ ed the fault elements of the offence of ‘aggravated people smuggling’ in the Migration Act 1958 (Cth). The consequence of this case is that the prosecution is now required to prove that the defendant intended to arrive at a destination which he or she knew to be part of Australia. The Court emphasised that the offence calls for the defendant’s awareness of the ‘legal status’ of Australia. This ﬁ nding rejected the submission of the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions that the prosecution need only demonstrate an intention to reach ‘a place’ which had the legal status of Australia, regardless of whether the defendant actually knew that it was part of Australian territory. This case note examines two considerations relevant to the Court’s construction of the offence: rules of interpretation provided by the Criminal Code, and the distinction between mistakes of legal status and ignorance of the law. First, it suggests that the model of offence disaggregation embodied by the Criminal Code paradoxically complicated, rather than simpliﬁ ed, the Court’s analysis of the provision. Second, it notes that the Court’s analysis of the relationship between mistakes of ‘legal status’ and criminal fault placed greater emphasis on the role of absolute liability provisions than on the common law distinction between mistakes of fact and ignorance of the law.

description: Among men who have sex with men (MSM), methamphetamine use is associated with multiple, overlapping syndemic conditions including increased risk for HIV seroconversion and onward HIV transmission. Contingency management (CM) is an evidence-based behavioral intervention implemented to curb methamphetamine use and optimize HIV/AIDS prevention among MSM in San Francisco since 2003. We conducted a program evaluation to document the evolution of this 12-week CM program to include delivery of brief, individual counseling incorporating motivational interviewing and behavioral skills. A drop-in group delivered concurrently with CM urine-screening visits also provides peer support as well as referrals for other social and medical services. From December 2011–October 2013, a total of 131 clients enrolled in the CM program and provided a median of 22 urine samples (Interquartile Range = 10–34) that were nonreactive for methamphetamine. Findings support the feasibility and acceptability of integrating individual and group counseling with community-based CM for methamphetamine-using MSM.

description: A trend towards energy-efficiency, security and privacy has led to a recent focus on deploying DNNs on microcontrollers. However, limits on compute and memory resources restrict the size and the complexity of the ML models deployable in these systems. Computation-In-Memory architectures based on resistive nonvolatile memory (NVM) technologies hold great promise of satisfying the compute and memory demands of high-performance and low-power, inherent in modern DNNs. Nevertheless, these technologies are still immature and suffer from both the intrinsic analog-domain noise problems and the inability of representing negative weights in the NVM structures, incurring in larger crossbar sizes with concomitant impact on ADCs and DACs. In this paper, we provide a training framework for addressing these challenges and quantitatively evaluate the circuit-level efficiency gains thus accrued. We make two contributions: Firstly, we propose a training algorithm that eliminates the need for tuning individual layers of a DNN ensuring uniformity across layer weights and activations. This ensures analog-blocks that can be reused and peripheral hardware substantially reduced. Secondly, using NAS methods, we propose the use of unipolar-weighted (either all-positive or all-negative weights) matrices/sub-matrices. Weight unipolarity obviates the need for doubling crossbar area leading to simplified analog periphery. We validate our methodology with CIFAR10 and HAR applications by mapping to crossbars using 4-bit and 2-bit devices. We achieve up to 92:91% accuracy (95% floating-point) using 2-bit only-positive weights for HAR. A combination of the proposed techniques leads to 80% area improvement and up to 45% energy reduction.

Derivatives of the phase transition point with respect to $μ$ are computed at $μ=0$ for 2 and 3 flavors of p-4 improved staggered fermions on a $16^3\times4$ lattice. Moreover we contrast the case of isoscalar and isovector chemical potentials, quantify the effect of $μ\not=0$ on the equation of state, and comment on the screening effect by dynamical quarks and the complex phase of the fermion determinant in QCD with $μ\not=0$.

description: An important problem in quantum information theory is that of bounding sets of correlations that arise from making local measurements on entangled states of arbitrary dimension. Currently, the best-known method to tackle this problem is the NPA hierarchy; an infinite sequence of semidefinite programs that provides increasingly tighter outer approximations to the desired set of correlations. In this work we consider a more general scenario in which one performs sequences of local measurements on an entangled state of arbitrary dimension. We show that a simple adaptation of the original NPA hierarchy provides an analogous hierarchy for this scenario, with comparable resource requirements and convergence properties. We then use the method to tackle some problems in device-independent quantum information. First, we show how one can robustly certify over 2.3 bits of device-independent local randomness from a two-quibt state using a sequence of measurements, going beyond the theoretical maximum of two bits that can be achieved with non-sequential measurements. Finally, we show tight upper bounds to two previously defined tasks in sequential Bell test scenarios.

description: Infrared femtosecond laser pulses are important tools both in strong-field physics, driving X-ray high-harmonic generation, and as the basis for widely tuneable, if inefficient, ultrafast sources in the visible and ultraviolet. Although anomalous material dispersion simplifies compression to few-cycle pulses, attosecond pulses in the infrared have remained out of reach. We demonstrate soliton self-compression of 1800 nm laser pulses in hollow capillary fibers to sub-cycle envelope duration (2 fs) with 27 GW peak power, corresponding to attosecond field transients. In the same system, we generate wavelength-tuneable few-femtosecond pulses from the ultraviolet (300 nm) to the infrared (740 nm) with energy up to 25 $μ$J and efficiency up to 12 %, and experimentally characterize the generation dynamics in the time-frequency domain. A compact second stage generates multi-$μ$J pulses from 210 nm to 700 nm using less than 200 $μ$J of input energy. Our results significantly expand the toolkit available to ultrafast science.

description: Multimode entanglement is an essential resource for quantum information in continuous-variable systems. Light-based quantum technologies will arguably not be built upon table-top bulk setups, but will presumably rather resort to integrated optics. Sequential bulk optics-like proposals based on cascaded integrated interferometers are not scalable with the current state-of-the-art low-loss materials used for continuous variables. We analyze the multimode continuous-variable entanglement capabilities of a compact currently-available integrated device without bulk-optics analog: the array of nonlinear waveguides. We theoretically demonstrate that this simple and compact structure, together with a reconfigurable input pump distribution and multimode coherent detection of the output modes, is a versatile entanglement synthesizer in the spatial domain. We exhibit this versatility through analytical and numerically optimized multimode squeezing, entanglement, and cluster state generation in different encodings. Our results re-establish spatial encoding as a contender in the game of continuous-variable quantum information processing.

description: Leucyl-tRNA synthetase (LeuRS) is clinically validated molecular target for antibiotic development. Recently, we have reported several classes of small-molecular inhibitors targeting aminoacyl-adenylate binding site ofMycobacterium tuberculosisLeuRS with antibacterial activity. In this work we performedinsilicosite-directed mutagenesis ofM. tuberculosisLeuRS synthetic site in order to identify the most critical amino acid residues for the interaction with substrate and prove binding modes of inhibitors. We carried out 20-ns molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and used umbrella sampling (US) method for the calculation of the binding free energy(ΔGb) of leucyl-adenylate with wild type and mutated forms of LeuRS.According to molecular modeling results it was found that His89, Tyr93 and Glu660 are essential amino acid residues both for aminoacyl-adenylate affinity and hydrogen bond formation. We have selected His89 for experimental site-directed mutagenesis since according to our previous molecular docking results this amino acid residue was predicted to be important for inhibitor interaction in adenine-binding region. We obtained recombinant mutantM. tuberculosisLeuRS H89A. Using aminoacylation assay we have found that the mutation of His89 to Ala in the active site ofM. tuberculosisLeuRS results in significant decrease of inhibitory activity for compounds belonging to three different chemical classes – 3-phenyl-5-(1-phenyl-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-yl)-[1,2,4]oxadiazoles,N-benzylidene-N'-thiazol-2-yl-hydrazines and 1-oxo-1H-isothiochromene-3-carboxylic acid (4-phenyl-thiazol-2-yl)-amide derivatives. Therefore, the interaction with His89 should be taken into account during furtherM. tuberculosisLeuRS inhibitors development and optimization.

description: The growing interest in the interfaces of prosody with other areas, notably pragmatics, has led to an interesting cross-fertilization of methods such as the Discourse
 Completion Task (DCT). In this chapter, we review previous and ongoing work in
 which the DCT method has been used to research Romance prosody. First, we introduce the design of the DCT used in pragmatics. After that, we discuss the design
 of the DCT used in Romance prosody and examine the strengths and weaknesses
 of the DCT method. Finally, we propose modifications and show how the DCT
 method can be further strengthened. All in all, we conclude that the DCT is an
 adequate method to research Romance prosody (as well as the prosody of other
 languages) and that future research should continue to consider how to further
 refine and improve this data collection instrument.

description: Natural justice is a common law doctrine that provides important procedural rights in administrative decision-making. The doctrine now has a wide application and is presumed by the courts to apply to the exercise of virtually all statutory powers. But the courts have also accepted that natural justice can be excluded by legislation that is expressed in sufﬁciently clear terms. This article explains how the courts have made it increasingly difﬁ cult for parliaments to exclude natural justice and the principles that apply to its legislative exclusion. It is argued that the interpretive principles applied to legislation which purports to exclude natural justice are so strict that it is very difﬁ cult for parliaments to succeed in any attempt to exclude the doctrine.

description: A universal KP-like equation in 2+1 dimensions, which models general nonlinear wave phenomena exhibiting p-power nonlinearity, dispersion, and small transversality, is studied. Special cases include the integrable KP (Kadomtsev-Petviashvili) equation and it is modified version, as well as their p-power generalizations. Two main results are obtained. First, all low-order conservation laws are derived, including ones that arise for special powers p. The conservation laws comprise momenta, energy, and Galilean-type quantities, as well as topological charges. Their physical meaning and properties are discussed. Second, all line-soliton solutions are obtained in an explicit form. A parameterization is given using the speed and the direction angle of the line-soliton, and the allowed kinematic region is determined in terms of these parameters. Basic kinematical properties of the line-solitons are also discussed. These properties differ significantly compared to those for KP line-solitons and their p-power generalizations. A line-shock solution is shown to emerge when a special limiting case of the kinematic region is considered.

description: Significant numbers of high-velocity HI clouds (HVCs) have now been detected in H-alpha, with a subset seen in low ionization lines (e.g. [NII]). It was originally hoped that the observed H-alpha strength would provide a distance constraint to individual clouds. This idea requires that a useful fraction (f_esc > 1%) of ionizing photons escape the Galaxy, and that the halo ionizing field is relatively smooth, as we discuss. Most HVCs which are known to be close to the Sun are H-alpha; the brightest clouds also show enhanced [NII] emission, in contrast to the Magellanic Stream where the low ionization emission lines are always weak compared to H-alpha. But an acute complication for H-alpha distances is the apparent H-alpha brightness of the Magellanic Stream along several sight lines. To account for this, we present three possible configurations for the Magellanic Stream and propose a follow-up experiment. If we normalize the distances to local HVCs, some HVCs appear to be scattered throughout the Galactic halo on scales of tens of kiloparsecs.

description: Taxation penalties are a signiﬁcant yet often ignored factor in the consideration and evaluation of tax systems when considering reform. The purpose of this article is to explore the arguments for and against the uniformity of taxation penalties using the Australia uniform tax penalty system in pt 4-25 of the Taxation Administration Act 1953 (Cth) as an illustrative case in point. This article ﬁrstly assesses the system in Australia for internal congruency and examines whether pt 4-25 has successfully created a ‘one stop shop’ for penalties. The answer to this is that pt 4-25 has certainly reduced undesirable complexity. The seamless addition of the Minerals Resource Rent Tax has proved one of the advantages of such a system, but there are some issues that are worthy of further reform. The article secondly examines whether the uniformity of penalties ought to be prescribed and concludes that there are arguments against uniformity that have contributed to a number of jurisdictions retaining a more speciﬁc penalty regime.

description: Subtracting event samples is a common task in LHC simulation and analysis, and standard solutions tend to be inefficient. We employ generative adversarial networks to produce new event samples with a phase space distribution corresponding to added or subtracted input samples. We first illustrate for a toy example how such a network beats the statistical limitations of the training data. We then show how such a network can be used to subtract background events or to include non-local collinear subtraction events at the level of unweighted 4-vector events.

Bankruptcy and Order
Creators: name: Quilter, Michael
Publisher: name: Monash University

Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: This article argues that bankruptcy achieves order. It achieves not only commercial order, by regulating insolvent debtors and managing the collection and distribution of their bankrupt estates, but also order on many levels, including social and political order. From the 5th century BCE, when the ﬁrst seeds of the idea of bankruptcy were planted in Republican Rome, through changes in outlook and approach to the present day, bankruptcy has acted as collective risk insurance protecting against the possibility of failure, while at the same time fostering business conﬁdence. Although its underlying philosophy has changed over time, bankruptcy’s function of delivering order and predictability has remained consistent.
A stochastic comparison result for the multitype contact process with unequal death rates

description: A stochastic comparison result that makes progress towards understanding the classical multitype contact process with unequal death rates is given. It has long been conjectured that the particle type with the largest birth to death rate ratio survives and the other dies out. A point process coupling result of Broman is used to give a sufficient condition for when the dominant particle type survives.
Constitutionally Heeding the Right to Silence in Australia
Creators: name: Gray, Anthony
Publisher: name: Monash University

Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: Australian law continues to recognise exceptions to what is colloquially referred to as the right to silence, the most recent example of which is the Evidence Amendment (Evidence of Silence) Act 2013 (NSW). This article will consider whether arguments might be made that, at least in some contexts, infringement of the right to silence is contrary to the requirements of the Australian Constitution. Courts in other countries around the world have recognised the right to silence in circumstances where parliaments have purported to limit it. The application of their approaches to the Australian context will be considered, acknowledging jurisdictional differences where appropriate.
Analysis of dynamical corrections to baryon magnetic moments

description: We present and analyze QCD corrections to the baryon magnetic moments in terms of the one-, two-, and three-body operators which appear in the effective field theory developed in our recent papers. The main corrections are extended Thomas-type corrections associated with the confining interactions in the baryon. We investigate the contributions of low-lying angular excitations to the moments quantitatively and show that they are completely negligible. When the QCD corrections are combined with the non-quark model contributions of the meson loops, we obtain a model which describes the moments within a mean deviation of 0.04 $μ_N$. The nontrivial interplay of the two types of corrections to the quark-model moments is analyzed in detail, and explains why the quark model is so successful. In the course of these calculations, we parametrize the general spin structure of the $j={1/2}^+$ baryon wave functions in a form which clearly displays the symmetry properties and the internal angular momentum content of the wave functions, and allows us to use spin-trace methods to calculate the many spin matrix elements which appear in the expressions for the moments. This representation may be useful elsewhere.

description: Based on Burnside's parametrization of the algebraic curve $y^2=x^5-x$ we provide remaining attributes of its uniformization: Fuchsian equations and their solutions, accessory parameters, monodromies, conformal maps, fundamental polygons, etc. As a generalization, we construct the zero genus uniformization of arbitrary curves. For hyperelliptic curves all the objects of the theory are explicitly described. We consider a large number of examples and, briefly, applications: Abelian integrals, metrics of Poincare, differential equations of the Jacobi--Chazy and Picard--Fuchs type, and others.

description: We review recent results on the potential energy landscape (PES) of model liquids. The role of saddle-points in the PES in connecting dynamics to statics is investigated, confirming that a change between minima-dominated and saddle-dominated regions of the PES explored in equilibrium happens around the Mode Coupling Temperature. The structure of the low-energy saddles in the basins is found to be simple and hierarchically organized; the presence of saddles nearby in energy to the local minima indicates that, at non-cryogenic temperatures, entropic bottlenecks limit the dynamics.

description: A statistical (thermal) model is applied to the description of hadron yields measured at central nucleus-nucleus collisions at the top RHIC energy $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200$ GeV and the LHC energy $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 2.76$ TeV. In contrast to the previous analyzes a more general form of the least squares test statistic is used, which takes into account also possible correlations between different species of yields. In addition to hadrons also light nuclei are included in the fits. Because of the lack of data, a toy model is constructed where the correlation coefficients are just free parameters. Because of this the presented considerations are speculative and should be treated as an imperfect illustration of the problem. Within these limitations it is impossible to formulate any definite conclusion, it might be only mentioned that for the considered examples the dependence of the freeze-out temperature and baryon chemical potential on correlations turned out to be weak.

Manufactured Inconsistency

Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: Manufactured inconsistency under s 109 of the Constitution has had little attention devoted to it. This article undertakes a detailed consideration of manufactured inconsistency in two important respects. First, the principle of manufactured inconsistency is analysed in order to derive a deﬁ nitional understanding of the term beyond the vague description that the Commonwealth may not ‘create’, ‘ fabricate’ or ‘manufacture’ an inconsistency. This article argues that the key to manufactured inconsistency lies in the concept of bad faith in legislating, whereby bad faith is evident where Commonwealth legislation is directed against the states’ capacity to legislate rather than enacted for any reason of policy. The concepts of good faith and bad faith in constitutional law are then analysed in order to identify indicia that might establish manufactured inconsistency. This leads to the conclusion that the actual intention of the Commonwealth is central to determining manufactured inconsistency, and principles of legislative intent and legislative motive are also considered. Second, this article considers whether there is any basis for implying such a doctrine into constitutional law under the requirements set out in Lange v Australian Broadcasting Corporation for drawing implications. While there is limited support for the implication, it is contended that manufactured inconsistency should not develop as a separate body of doctrine, but should instead fall within the Melbourne Corporation principle because manufacturing an inconsistency with state laws can properly be characterised as destroying the states’ capacity to govern.

description: The mechanism for jet formation in the disks of T Tauri stars is poorly understood. Observational benchmarks to launching models can be provided by tracing the physical properties of the kinematic components of the wind and jet in the inner 100 au of the disk surface. In the framework of the GHOsT (GIARPS High-resolution Observations of T Tauri stars) project, we aim to perform a multi-line analysis of the velocity components of the gas in the jet acceleration zone. We analyzed the GIARPS-TNG spectra of six objects in the Taurus-Auriga complex (RY Tau, DG Tau, DL Tau, HN Tau, DO Tau, RW Aur A). Thanks to the combined high-spectral resolution (R=50000-115000) and wide spectral coverage (~400-2400 nm) we observed several O, S+, N, N+, and Fe+ forbidden lines spanning a large range of excitation and ionization conditions. In four objects (DG Tau, HN Tau, DO Tau, RW Aur A), temperature (T_e), electron and total density (n_e, n_H), and fractional ionization (x_e) were derived as a function of velocity through an excitation and ionization model. The abundance of gaseous iron, X(Fe), a probe of the dust content in the jet, was derived in selected velocity channels. The physical parameters vary smoothly with velocity, suggesting a common origin for the different kinematic components. In DG Tau and HN Tau, T_e, x_e, and X(Fe) increase with velocity (roughly from 6000 K, 0.05, 10% X(Fe)_sun to 15000 K, 0.6, 90% X(Fe)_sun). This trend is in agreement with disk-wind models in which the jet is launched from regions of the disk at different radii. In DO Tau and RW Aur A, we infer x_e < 0.1, n_H ~10^6-7 cm^-3, and X(Fe)
