description: This paper presents an Expert-guided Mixed-Initiative Control Switcher (EMICS) for remotely operated mobile robots. The EMICS enables switching between different levels of autonomy during task execution initiated by either the human operator and/or the EMICS. The EMICS is evaluated in two disaster response inspired experiments, one with a simulated robot and test arena, and one with a real robot in a realistic environment. Analyses from the two experiments provide evidence that: a) Human-Initiative (HI) systems outperform systems with single modes of operation, such as pure teleoperation, in navigation tasks; b) in the context of the simulated robot experiment, Mixed-Initiative (MI) systems provide improved performance in navigation tasks, improved operator performance in cognitive demanding secondary tasks, and improved operator workload compared to HI. Results also reinforce previous human-robot interaction evidence regarding the importance of the operator's personality traits and their trust in the autonomous system. Lastly, our experiment on a physical robot provides empirical evidence that identify two major challenges for MI control: a) the design of context-aware MI control systems; and b) the conflict for control between the robot's MI control system and the operator. Insights regarding these challenges are discussed and ways to tackle them are proposed.

When Statutory Powers Distract: Involuntary Detention and Treatment Laws, and Liability for Harm
Creators: name: Bonython, Wendy E
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: Appellate courts have rejected claims of misfeasance by statutory authorities vested with involuntary detention and treatment powers under mental health legislation, treating them as statutory liability matters. We argue that requirements for exercise of involuntary detention powers were factually absent in each of the key cases (McKenna, Presland, KirklandVeenstra, and Crowley) and consequently the relevant statutory powers were unavailable. Reliance on statutory liability is misguided and these ratios should be avoided. Instead, negligence claims based on breach of the medical practitioner’s duty to patients, which survives activation of the involuntary powers, may provide a more appropriate basis for considering future claims of this class.

description: We study the cancellations among Feynman diagrams that implement the Ward and Slavnov-Taylor identities corresponding to the conserved supersymmetry current in supersymmetric quantum field theories. In particular, we show that the Faddeev-Popov ghosts of gauge- and supersymmetries never decouple from the physical fields, even for abelian gauge groups. The supersymmetric Slavnov-Taylor identities provide efficient consistency checks for automatized calculations and can verify the supersymmetry of Feynman rules and the numerical stability of phenomenological predictions simultaneously.

description: Alternatives to petroleum-based fuels for transportation are sought to address concerns over climate change and energy security. Key semiconductor, software, and battery technologies have sufficiently progressed over the past few decades to enable a mass-market-viable plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) alternative. In this paper, the various PEV architectures are described, including market availability, technologies and trends, practical ranges, battery replacement and power costs, implications for grid operations, and other developments. Manufacturers’ recently announced prices and EPA standardized test data are used (where available) to increase the accuracy of cost comparisons for competing vehicles. Results indicate that in relatively low fuel-cost regions, like the U.S., PEVs enjoy a positive discounted net present value, thanks to tax credits and assuming that the original battery does not need replacement by the owner. Even without the tax credits, PEVs offer financial payback for those residing in higher fuel-cost regions, as long as their batteries last the vehicle’s lifetime or are replaced by manufacturers (under warranty).
Addressing the Curious Blackspot that is the Separation Between the Principle of Legality and Sentencing
Creators: name: Bagaric, Mirko
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: The principle of legality has evolved into a clear and entrenched jurisprudential mechanism for protecting common law rights and freedoms. It operates as a shield to preserve the scope of application of fundamental rights and freedoms. In recent years it has been increasingly applied by the courts to limit the scope of legislative provisions which potentially impinge on human rights and fundamental freedoms. Yet there is one domain where the principle of legality is conspicuously absent: sentencing. Ostensibly, this is paradoxical. Sentencing is the realm where the legal system operates in its most coercive manner against individuals. In this article, we argue that logically the principle of legality has an important role in the sentencing system given the incursions by criminal sanctions into a number of basic rights, including the right to liberty, the freedom of association and the deprivation of property. By way of illustration, we set out how the principle of legality should apply to the interpretation of key statutory provisions. To this end, we argue that the objectives of general deterrence and specifi c deterrence should have less impact in sentencing. It is also suggested that judges should be more reluctant to send off enders with dependants to terms of imprisonment. Injecting the principle of legality into sentencing law and practice would result in the reduction in severity of a large number of sanctions, thereby reducing the frequency and extent to which the fundamental rights of off enders are violated. The methodology set out in this article can be applied to alter the operation of a number of legislative sentencing objectives and rules.

description: This paper estimates a household model where both the production and consumption sides are observed. The household activities produce both marketable and nonmarketable products. Family members consume market goods, domestically produced goods and leisure. This household equilibrium model is described within a collective framework. The data are from a nation-wide sample of Italian farm-households. The estimation is implemented using a generalized Heckman estimator to account for corner solutions generated by the fact that not all households are engaged in all enterpreneurial activities and do not consume some of all goods and leisure. The identification of the sharing rule stems from the assignability of clothing consumption and leisure.

description: The full sky cosmic microwave background polarization field can be decomposed into 'electric' and 'magnetic' components. Working in harmonic space we construct window functions that allow clean separation of the electric and magnetic modes from observations over only a portion of the sky. Our construction is exact for azimuthally symmetric patches, but should continue to perform well for arbitrary patches. From the window functions we obtain variables that allow for robust estimation of the magnetic component without risk of contamination from the probably much larger electric signal. For isotropic, uncorrelated noise the variables have a very simple diagonal noise correlation, and further analysis using them should be no harder than analysing the temperature field. For an azimuthally-symmetric patch, such as that obtained from survey missions when the galactic region is removed, the exactly-separated variables are fast to compute allowing us to estimate the magnetic signal that could be detected by the Planck satellite in the absence of non-galactic foregrounds. We also discuss the sensitivity of future experiments to tensor modes in the presence of a magnetic signal generated by weak lensing, and give lossless methods for analysing the electric polarization field in the case that the magnetic component is negligible.

The Operation and Impact of Australia's Parliamentary Scrutiny Regime for Human Rights

Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: The Australian constitutional framework for the protection of human rights is unique among democratic nations. It alone lacks a national Human Rights Act or Bill of Rights. Instead, the framework seeks to improve rights protection by enhancing deliberation within Parliament. To this end, the Human Rights (Parliamentary Scrutiny) Act 2011 (Cth) requires federal Bills and legislative instruments to be accompanied by a statement as to their compatibility with a number of international human rights conventions. These claims can be examined, and other human rights matters investigated, by a Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights. This process of human rights vetting of legislation differs from that of other nations in that there is no scope for Bills or regulations to be struck down or declared inconsistent by the courts. This article evaluates this model of human rights protection by analysing the operation and impact of the regime in light of key indicators of its effectiveness.

description: The establishment of protected areas has often been a top-down process, based on elitist concepts of land use and surrounded by restrictive legislation. Many protected areas and buffer zones in Bolivia, as in other countries, exist only on paper. The objectives and guidelines for their establishment are either not viable or unclear, resulting in management plans being overly simplistic or non-existent. In this study the various problems associated with the implementation/non-implementation of protected areas and buffer zone are considered from a systemic perspective. The paper outlines the application of soft systems methods to approach a complex problematic situation and presents preliminary results for protected areas in Bolivia.

description: Scalar effective field theories with enhanced soft limits behave in many ways like gauge theories and gravity. In particular, symmetries fix the structure of interactions and the tree-level S-matrix in both types of theories. We explore how this analogy persists in the presence of matter by considering theories with additional fields coupled to the Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) scalar or the special galileon in a way that is consistent with their symmetries. Using purely on-shell arguments, we show that these theories obey analogues of the S-matrix equivalence principle whereby all matter fields must couple to the DBI scalar or the special galileon through a particular quartic vertex with a universal coupling. These equivalence principles imply the universality of the leading double soft theorems in these theories, which are scalar analogues of Weinberg's gravitational soft theorem, and can be used to rule out interactions with massless higher-spin fields when combined with analogues of the generalized Weinberg-Witten theorem. We verify in several examples that amplitudes with external matter fields nontrivially exhibit enhanced single soft limits and we show that such amplitudes can be constructed using soft recursion relations when they have sufficiently many external DBI or special galileon legs, including amplitudes with massive higher-spin fields. As part of our analysis we construct a recently conjectured special galileon-vector effective field theory.

description: We have carried out high-precision timing measurements of the binary millisecond pulsar PSR J2051$-$0827 with the Effelsberg 100-m radio telescope of the Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie and with the Lovell 76-m radio telescope at Jodrell Bank. The 6.5-yrs radio timing measurements have revealed a significant secular variation of the projected semi-major axis of the pulsar at a rate of $\dot x\equiv d(a_{\rm 1} \sin i)/dt = (-0.23\pm 0.03)\times 10^{-12}$, which is probably caused by the Newtonian spin-orbit coupling in this binary system leading to a precession of the orbital plane. The required misalignment of the spin and orbital angular momenta of the companion are evidence for an asymmetric supernova explosion. We have also confirmed that the orbital period is currently decreasing at a rate of $\dot P_{\rm b}=(-15.5 \pm 0.8)\times 10^{-12}$s s$^{-1}$ and have measured second and third orbital period derivatives $d^2P_{\rm b}/dt^2=(+2.1 \pm 0.3)\times 10^{-20} {\rm s^{-1}}$ and $d^3P_{\rm b}/dt^3 =(3.6 \pm 0.6)\times 10^{-28} {\rm s^{-2}}$, which indicate a quasi-cyclic orbital period variation similar to those found in another eclipsing pulsar system, PSR B1957+20. The observed variation of the orbital parameters constrains the maximal value of the companion radius to $R_{\rm c max} \sim 0.06 R_{\odot}$ and implies that the companion is underfilling its Roche lobe by 50 %. The derived variation in the quadrupole moment of the companion is probably caused by tidal dissipation similar to the mechanism proposed for PSR B1957+20. We conclude that the companion is at least partially non-degenerate, convective and magnetically active.

Evaluating Judicial Performance for Caseload Allocation

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: This article examines the principles and processes governing the allocation of work to judicial officers in Australian courts. It investigates the extent to which implicit evaluation of judicial performance occurs as part of the workload allocation process. This allocation is influenced primarily by the need to dispose of the court’s business efficiently as well as by a desire to provide a fair distribution of work. Although Australian courts traditionally value generalist judges who can deal with all types of cases that come before them, efficiency (and fairness) may require recognising and utilising particular knowledge and skills of each judicial officer. As a result, assessments of the performance of individual judicial officers necessarily form part of the allocation process. These assessments are often made by senior judicial officers or experienced court staff responsible for the caseload allocation process. They are generally made informally, relying on secondary sources of information, but may also be informed by direct knowledge of the judicial officer’s experiences or preferences in relation to type or amount of work. While important for the flexibility of court operations, these informal evaluations can lead to some inefficiencies and unfairness.

description: This is the first paper of a series aimed at studying the properties of late-type stars members of young stellar kinematic groups. We concentrate our study on classical young moving groups as: Local Association (Pleiades moving group, 20 - 150 Myr), IC 2391 supercluster (35 Myr), Ursa Major group (Sirius supercluster, 300 Myr), and Hyades supercluster (600 Myr); as well as on recently identified groups as: Castor moving group (200 Myr). In this paper we have compiled a preliminary list of single late-type stars possible members of some of these young stellar kinematic groups. Stars have been selected from previously established members of stellar kinematic groups based on photometric and kinematic properties as well as from candidates based on other criteria as their level of chromospheric activity, rotation rate, lithium abundance. Precise measurements of proper motions and parallaxes taken from Hipparcos Catalogue, as well as from Tycho-2 Catalogue, and published radial velocity measurements are used to calculate the Galactic space motions (U, V, W) and to apply the Eggen's kinematic criteria in order to determine the membership of the selected stars to the different groups. Additional criteria using age-dating methods for late-type stars will be applied in forthcoming papers of this series. A further study of the list of stars compiled here could lead to a better understanding of the chromospheric activity and their age evolution as well as of the star formation history in the solar neighbourhood. In addition, these stars are also potential search targets for direct imaging detection of sub-stellar companions.

description: We determine some particular values of the noncommutativity parameter θand show that the Murthy-Shankar approach is in fact a particular case of a more general one. Indeed, using the fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) experimental data, we give a measurement of θ. This measurement can be obtained by considering some values of the filling factor νand other ingredients, magnetic field B and electron density ρ. Moreover, it is found that θcan be quantized either fractionally or integrally in terms of the magnetic length l_0 and the quantization is exactly what Murthy and Shankar formulated recently for the FQHE. On the other hand, we show that the mapping of the FQHE in terms of the composite fermion basis has a noncommutative geometry nature and therefore there is a more general way than the Murthy-Shankar method to do this mapping.

The Galactic disk mass-budget : II. Brown dwarf mass-function and density
Creators: name: Chabrier, G.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, we extend the calculations conducted previously in the stellar regime to determine the brown dwarf IMF in the Galactic disk. We perform Monte Carlo calculations taking into account the brown dwarf formation rate, spatial distribution and binary fraction. Comparison with existing surveys seems to exclude a power-law MF as steep as the one determined in the stellar regime below 1 $\msol$ and tends to favor a more flatish behaviour. Comparison with methane-dwarf detections tends to favor an eventually decreasing form like the lognormal or the more general exponential distributions determined in the previous paper. We calculate predicting brown dwarf counts in near-infrared color diagrams and brown dwarf discovery functions. These calculations yield the presently most accurate determination of the brown dwarf census in the Galactic disk. The brown dwarf number density is comparable to the stellar one, $n_{BD}\simeq n_\star\simeq 0.1$ pc$^{-3}$. The corresponding brown dwarf mass density, however, represents only about 10% of the stellar contribution, i.e. $ρ_{BD}\simle 5.0\times 10^{-3} \mvol$. Adding up the local stellar density determined previously yields the density of star-like objects, stars and brown dwarfs, in the solar neighborhood $ρ_\odot \approx 5.0\times 10^{-2} \mvol$.

description: Increased concern about the environmental and health effects of wood preservation methods motivate producers to find new wood products for outdoor use that combine durability, environmental friendliness and consumer appeal. Consequently, the industry must improve its ability to elicit key product attributes for the consumers and to transform this knowledge in popular wood products. Different approaches for attribute elicitation and marketing planning for outdoor wood are applied and discussed in this paper. The approaches are sensory analysis, free elicitation, segmentation, and conjoint analysis. The results indicate that all these methods are promising for new product development in the wood industry. The methods have different strengths and weaknesses and their application and successful use for new products also involve the development of new capabilities in the industry.

description: On-line detection of anomalies in time series is a key technique used in various event-sensitive scenarios such as robotic system monitoring, smart sensor networks and data center security. However, the increasing diversity of data sources and the variety of demands make this task more challenging than ever. Firstly, the rapid increase in unlabeled data means supervised learning is becoming less suitable in many cases. Secondly, a large portion of time series data have complex seasonality features. Thirdly, on-line anomaly detection needs to be fast and reliable. In light of this, we have developed a prediction-driven, unsupervised anomaly detection scheme, which adopts a backbone model combining the decomposition and the inference of time series data. Further, we propose a novel metric, Local Trend Inconsistency (LTI), and an efficient detection algorithm that computes LTI in a real-time manner and scores each data point robustly in terms of its probability of being anomalous. We have conducted extensive experimentation to evaluate our algorithm with several datasets from both public repositories and production environments. The experimental results show that our scheme outperforms existing representative anomaly detection algorithms in terms of the commonly used metric, Area Under Curve (AUC), while achieving the desired efficiency.

Private Law and Grave Historical Injustice: The Role of the Common Law
Creators: name: Degeling, Simone
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: This article reclaims an important role for the common law in cases of grave historical injustice, which we define as serious, widespread instances of wrongdoing that have remained unaddressed and un-redressed for long periods of time. Contemporary examples in Australia include the abuse of vulnerable individuals within the Catholic Church and Australian Defence Force, and the historical theft of wages from Aboriginal peoples. Contemporary discourse assumes that private law has little to contribute to the debate about how to deal with such cases. It focuses instead on public apologies and limited reparations schemes, on the basis that these offer victims quicker, more satisfactory solutions. We suggest an important role for private law and its corrective justice framework in informing and enhancing the design of reparations schemes current and future, so as to accord victims a fuller and more meaningful measure of justice.

description: This document outlines the goal and scope of the work carried out in WP1, mainly in relation to task T1.4. Following the scope of task T1.4, its main assumptions rely on developing new analytical and numerical tools for the modelling of phononic surfaces. We address two aspects of the modelling framework – theoretical and computational. The main focus of the theoretical part is on developing the equations for the computation of the local density of states (LDOS) directly from the scattering problem or by means of the quasi-normal modal expansion (QNMs). In the numerical part, we will give two examples and compare the accuracy of the computations following both methods. The deliverable is formulated as follows:D1.4: Algorithm for the density of modes.The above-mentioned goals of the deliverable were achieved through the realization of the following tasks:- Developing the multiple scattering formulation for mass-spring resonators ontop of a thin elastic plate- Defining the nonlinear eigenvalue problem and finding the suitable optimisationalgorithm for the numerical solution of the problem- Expressing the scattering problem as a superposition of the eigenmodes of thesystem (QNMs),- performing numerical analyses,- analysis and selection of key parameters.

The Principle of Legality: Issues of Rationale and Application
Creators: name: Chen, Bruce
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: The term ‘principle of legality’ has most commonly been associated with one particular common law interpretive principle — the presumption that Parliament does not intend to interfere with fundamental common law rights, freedoms and immunities. The rationale is that it is in the last degree improbable that Parliament would abrogate or curtail such matters without clear and unambiguous language. The principle of legality is concerned with actual legislative intention. In recent times, it has been argued that a competing rationale has emerged, and the rationale of the principle is also facing contemporary challenges. In light of this, the nature and conceptual basis of the principle is briefly discussed. Moreover, the principle of legality, despite being long established, has been criticised for lacking clarity in its scope and operation. The purpose of this article is to comprehensively examine the principle’s scope and operation, having regard to the above-mentioned issues of rationale. This article focuses on the subject matter protected by the principle and the principle’s strength, including whether justification and proportionality considerations can have any role to play. It identifies and analyses methodological issues which remain unsettled, reaches conclusions as to methodological inconsistencies between the principle’s rationale and its application in practice, and provides some suggestions as to how this might be rectified.

description: Encouraged by international co-operations and private investment firms, farmers in the Bolivian lowland are incorporating small-scale forest plantations their productive system, for income generation from timber. Schizolobium parahyba, Eucalyptus spp. and recently Tectona grandis are mainly used because of their fast growth and potential to produce benefits within a short time horizon. However, issues such as economic return, market access, timing of thinning and productivity are still unknown. This study’s objectives are to discuss the economic fundamentals of plantation forestry with S. parahyba, using the land expectation value (LEV) (Faustmann formula). Growing functions are calculated using data from permanent plots established by the Agricultural Tropical Research Centre (CIAT). It considers sales at local market conditions. Optimal biological, optimal economic and minimum economic rotations are estimated. In addition, a sensitivity analysis with varying discount rate and stumpage price is made. The analysis demonstrate that the optimal biological, optimal economic and minimum economic rotation ages are 38, 23 and 13 years, respectively, but the last one could diminish to 6 years if the market accepted logs of smaller diameter. Increasing capital costs reduce the LEV value logarithmically, and increases in timber price shift up the LEV and reduce the rotation age.
An Adaptive Grid, Implicit Code for Spherically Symmetric, General Relativistic Hydrodynamics in Comoving Coordinates

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: We describe an implicit general relativistic hydrodynamics code. The evolution equations are formulated in comoving coordinates. A conservative finite differencing of the Einstein equations is outlined, and artificial viscosity and numerical diffusion are discussed. The time integration is performed with AGILE, an implicit solver for stiff algebrodifferential equations on a dynamical adaptive grid. We extend the adaptive grid technique, known from nonrelativistic hydrodynamics, to the general relativistic application and identify it with the concept of shift vectors in a 3+1 decomposition. The adaptive grid minimizes the number of required computational zones without compromising the resolution in physically important regions. Thus, the computational effort is greatly reduced when the zones are subject to computationally expensive additional processes, such as Boltzmann radiation transport or a nuclear reaction network. We present accurate results in the standard tests for supernova simulations: Sedov's point-blast explosion, the nonrelativistic and relativistic shock tube, the Oppenheimer-Snyder dust collapse, and homologous collapse.

Magnetic properties of photospheric regions having very low magnetic flux

description: The magnetic properties of the quiet Sun are investigated using a novel inversion code, FATIMA, based on the Principal Component Analysis of the observed Stokes profiles. The stability and relatively low noise sensitivity of this inversion procedure allows for the systematic inversion of large data sets with very weak polarization signal. Its application to quiet Sun observations of network and internetwork regions reveals that a significant fraction of the quiet Sun contains kilogauss fields (usually with very small filling factors) and confirms that the pixels with weak polarization account for most of the magnetic flux. Mixed polarities in the resolution element are also found to occur more likely as the polarization weakens.

Gravitational Lensing of the Cosmic Neutrino Background

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)

description: We study gravitational lensing of the cosmic neutrino background. This signal is undetectable for the foreseeable future, but there is a rich trove of information available. At least some of the neutrinos from the early universe will be non-relativistic today, with a closer surface of last scattering (compared to the cosmic microwave background) and with larger angles of deflection. Lensing of massive neutrinos is strongly chromatic: both the amplitude of lensing and the cosmic time at which the potential is traversed depend on neutrino momentum, in principle giving access to our entire causal volume, not restricted to the light cone. As a concrete example, we focus on the case where the cosmic neutrino background would be strongly lensed when passing through halos of galaxy clusters and galaxies. We calculate the Einstein radius for cosmic neutrinos and investigate the impact of neutrino mass.
Court Services Victoria and the New Politics of Judicial Independence: A Critical Analysis of the Court Services Victoria Act 2014 (Vic)
Creators: name: Bunjevac, Tin
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: This article critically analyses the landmark reform of the Victorian court system from a comparative international perspective. It is argued that the institutional design of Court Services Victoria (‘CSV’) was largely driven by a desire to protect judicial independence from the executive government and partly also to enhance the institutional capacity of the judiciary to effectively respond to the emerging social, political and legal challenges. Despite the establishment of CSV, the legislation preserves certain legacy administrative arrangements that impeded court administration in the past, such as the internal governance arrangements in the courts and the absence of clearly defined lines of administrative responsibility. The article also argues that the legislation confers too narrow a function on CSV that focuses on the provision of basic technical and administrative support to the courts. The proposed alternative would be for CSV to assume a much broader developmental mandate in the court system in order to improve the quality of the administration of justice. The article also argues that greater ‘corporatisation’ of the judiciary will be necessary in order to protect its hard-fought independence and visibility in the political arena. The article concludes that greater judicial independence requires more, rather than less, political astuteness and engagement by the judiciary with the other branches of government and the public.

description: This article engages in a comparative journey exploring a number of well recorded significant episodes in which courts and judges have been thrust into a storm of controversies. Some of these controversies pertain to judges who have been subjected to investigation for alleged failure to live up to the constitutional standards expected of independent and impartial judicial officers. Others pertain to judges who have drawn themselves into the eye of a storm by being placed in the limelight. The final category of episodes relates to those judges who are confronted with challenges to their impartiality and who have to make decisions as to whether to recuse themselves from adjudicating on a particular dispute.
