Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis examines the possibilities for the justiciability of economic, social and cultural rights in the Constitution of Bangladesh. Economic social and cultural rights are part of the “fundamental principles of state policy” which are recognized in Part II of the Bangladeshi Constitution. Article 8(2) of the Constitution explicitly states that those principles are judicially unenforceable. At the international level, human rights were formally split into two different covenants in 1966: the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). The latter, unlike the former, contained no enforcement mechanism. This differential treatment of the economic, social and cultural rights reflected the traditional assumption that economic social and cultural rights were not capable of judicial enforcement. Those assumptions were later reflected in the Bangladeshi Constitution. This thesis critiques the main objections to the justiciability of economic social and cultural rights in the light of contemporary developments in the international human rights regime, regional human rights systems and different domestic jurisdictions. It is posited that economic social and cultural rights have evolved so that their justiciability is now generally accepted. Indeed, the ICESCR (to which Bangladesh is a party) now casts an obligation on States Parties to make them justiciable in their domestic jurisdictions. The thesis examines the substantive constitutional provisions and the relevant case law, and argues that there is in fact enough scope to judicially enforce economic, social and cultural rights contained in the Constitution of Bangladesh, despite the bar of article 8(2). In this respect, comparative case law in India will also be examined, as India has similar constitutional provisions. Such new interpretations of the Bangladeshi Constitution, if adopted by Bangladesh’s courts, will act as guidelines for the development of judicial protections for economic, social and cultural rights at the municipal level in Bangladesh. Such a reformulation of constitutional law will also facilitate the fulfillment of Bangladesh’s obligations under the ICESCR, and the enjoyment of economic, social and cultural rights by its people.

description: We present a simple numerical algorithm for solving elliptic equations where the diffusion coefficient, the source term, the solution and its flux are discontinuous across an irregular interface. The algorithm produces second-order accurate solutions and first-order accurate gradients in the $L^\infty$-norm on Cartesian grids. The condition number is bounded, regardless of the ratio of the diffusion constant and scales like that of the standard 5-point stencil approximation on a rectangular grid with no interface. Numerical examples are given in two and three spatial dimensions.

description: Neuronal models based on the Hodgkin-Huxley equation form a fundamental framework in the field of computational neuroscience. While the neuronal state is often modeled deterministically, experimental recordings show stochastic fluctuations, presumably driven by molecular noise from the underlying microphysical conditions. In turn, the firing of individual neurons gives rise to an electric field n extracellular space, also thought to affect the firing pattern of nearby neurons. We develop a multiscale model which combines a stochastic ion channel gating process taking place on the neuronal membrane, together with the propagation of an action potential along the neuronal structure. We also devise a numerical method relying on a split-step strategy which effectively couples these two processes and we experimentally test the feasibility of this approach. We finally also explain how the approach can be extended with Maxwell's equations to allow the potential to be propagated in extracellular space.

description: One of the important goals of present research is to control and manipulate coherence in a broad variety of systems, such as semiconductor spintronics, biological photosynthetic systems, superconducting qubits and complex atomic networks. Over the past decades interferometry of atoms and molecules has proven to be a powerful tool to explore coherence. Here we demonstrate a near-field interferometer based on the Talbot effect, which allows to measure finite-range phase coherence of ultracold atoms in an optical lattice. We apply this interferometer to study the build-up of phase coherence after a quantum quench of a Bose-Einstein condensate residing in a one-dimensional optical lattice. Our technique of measuring finite-range phase coherence is generic, easy to adopt, and can be applied in practically all lattice experiments without further modifications.

description: Detection of anomalous trajectories is an important problem with potential applications to various domains, such as video surveillance, risk assessment, vessel monitoring and high-energy physics. Modeling the distribution of trajectories with statistical approaches has been a challenging task due to the fact that such time series are usually non stationary and highly dimensional. However, modern machine learning techniques provide robust approaches for data-driven modeling and critical information extraction. In this paper, we propose a Sequence to Sequence architecture for real-time detection of anomalies in human trajectories, in the context of risk-based security. Our detection scheme is tested on a synthetic dataset of diverse and realistic trajectories generated by the ISL iCrowd simulator. The experimental results indicate that our scheme accurately detects motion patterns that deviate from normal behaviors and is promising for future real-world applications.

description: We investigate the dynamics of a one-dimensional $p$-wave superconductor with next-nearest-neighbor hopping and superconducting interaction derived from a three-spin interacting Ising model in transverse field by mapping to Majorana fermions. The next-nearest-neighbor hopping term leads a new topological phase containing two zero-energy Majorana modes at each end of an open chain, compared to a nearest-neighbor $p$-wave superconducting chain. We study the Majorana survival probability (MSP) of a particular Majorana edge state when the initial Hamiltonian ($H_i$) is changed to the quantum critical as well as off-critical final Hamiltonian ($H_f$) which additionally contains an impurity term ($H_{imp}$) that breaks the time-reversal invariance. For the off-critical quenching inside the new topological phase with $H_f= H_i +H_{imp}$, and small impurity strength ($λ_d$), we observe a perfect oscillation of the MSP as a function of time with a single frequency (determined by the impurity strength $λ_d$) that can be analyzed from an equivalent two-level problem. On the other hand, the MSP shows a beating like structure with time for quenching to the phase boundary separating the topological phase (with two edge Majoranas at each edge) and the non-topological phase where the additional frequency is given by inverse of the system size. We attribute this behavior of the MSP to the modification of the energy levels of the final Hamiltonian due to the application of the impurity term.

description: A mathematical model describing the capture of nonlinear systems into the autoresonance by a combined parametric and external periodic slowly varying perturbation is considered. The autoresonance phenomenon is associated with solutions having an unboundedly growing amplitude and a limited phase mismatch. The paper investigates the behaviour of such solutions when the parameters of the excitation pass through bifurcation values. In particular, the stability of different autoresonant modes is analyzed and the asymptotic approximations of autoresonant solutions on asymptotically long time intervals are proposed by a modified averaging method with using the constructed Lyapunov functions.

description: Consider a collection of particles interacting through an attractive-repulsive potential given as a difference of power laws and normalized so that its unique minimum occurs at unit separation. For a range of exponents corresponding to mild repulsion and strong attraction, we show that the minimum energy configuration is uniquely attained -- apart from translations and rotations -- by equidistributing the particles over the vertices of a regular top-dimensional simplex (i.e. an equilateral triangle in two dimensions and regular tetrahedron in three). If the attraction is not assumed to be strong, we show these configurations are at least local energy minimizers in the relevant $d_\infty$ metric from optimal transportation, as are all of the other uncountably many unbalanced configurations with the same support. We infer the existence of phase transitions. The proof is based on a simple isodiametric variance bound which characterizes regular simplices: it shows that among probability measures on ${\mathbf R}^n$ whose supports have at most unit diameter, the variance around the mean is maximized precisely by those measures which assign mass $1/(n+1)$ to each vertex of a (unit-diameter) regular simplex.

Creators: name: Etminan, Amin
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2022

description: An experimental and numerical study of viscous Taylor flow through capillaries is performed to investigate the effects of viscosity, superficial phase velocity ratio, channel diameter, channel diameter expansion, and gas holdup on the hydrodynamic and heat transfer. Through millimetric and microfluidic devices, two-phase Taylor flows have been a significant drive in almost all energy-related industrial applications to reduce the size and enhance heat and mass transport phenomena. A topical and comprehensive review of the hydrodynamic of Taylor flow and liquid film surrounding the slugs is conducted to shed more light on gas-liquid, and liquid-liquid Taylor flows better. An in-detailed step-by-step numerical method solves such flows in a two-dimensional axisymmetric plan of a circular tube which can be extended to mass transfer applications. The validity of the experimental setup is greatly appreciated by benchmarking of single-phase theory and the empirical/analytical correlations reported in the literature. The numerical study differentiates flow characteristics of slug flow under two flow conditions: developing and fully developed. The slug profile, slug length, liquid film thickness, and pressure drop are compared to show the influence of slug breakup on these flow parameters as the slug moves downstream. The effects of the dynamic viscosity ratio of phases of gas-liquid and liquid-liquid Taylor flows are studied to display a five-stage slug formation process: introducing, expanding, contracting, necking, and breakup. A new linear logarithmic correlation is proposed to compute the gas holdup in terms of the superficial phase velocity ratio. Another correlation is also developed to predict the liquid film thickness using liquid and gas Weber numbers and gas holdup for such Taylor flows in tubes with only a 1.42% discrepancy. In the experiments, the hydrodynamic and thermal analyses of Taylor flow are examined by the flow visualization, pressure drop, and heat transfer measurements which are accompanied by CFD results. The impact of interfacial pressure drop on the total pressure loss and isothermal bath temperature on the thermal performance is investigated over a wide range of volumetric flow rate ratios. The flow patterns inside and outside Taylor slugs are visualized, indicating a significant change in recirculation regions as the volumetric flow rate ratio increases. It is found, in good agreement with the literature, that the pressure drop generated by the interface increases the total pressure loss up to 200% compared to the single-phase flow. The influence of interfacial pressure drop decreased as the dimensionless length of the channel approached beyond 0.1, resulting in concise water slugs and long oil plugs.

description: We consider the discrete Laplacian on $\mathbb Z^d$, and compute asymptotic expansions of its resolvent around thresholds embedded in continuous spectrum as well as those at end points. We prove that the resolvent has a square-root branching if $d$ is odd, and a logarithm branching if $d$ is even, and, moreover, obtain explicit expressions for these branching parts involving the Lauricella hypergeometric function. In order to analyze a non-degenerate threshold of general form we use an elementary step-by-step expansion procedure, less dependent on special functions.

description: The study was conducted with objective that find the optimum value of the gypsum processing parameters for the production of improved quality chalk using locally available raw materials. Gypsum rocks with size less than 20cm in diameter and 30kg total samples were collected from Educational Material Production and Distribution Enterprise center; the collected samples were taken and the laboratory test processed. Experiments have been conducted with varying influential process parameters to got different responses. Second degree polynomial models for the responses as a function of the independent variables were generated and optimum conditions were determined using Central Composite Face Centered Design of Response Surface Methodology.The data were analyzed to determine optimum conditions for testing responses parameters particle size (90,70 and 45 m), calcinations temperature (135, 140 and 145 oC) and moisture content (5, 6, 7%); for testing the responses bulk density((1.121 - 1.201g/cm3) and breaking strength (10 - 20N/cm). The optimum value 1.1445g/cm3 bulk density of and 13.85N/cm breaking strength were achieved at the optimum process parameters 85.55 m particle size, 137 oC calcinations temperature and 6.25% moisture content. Depending on the optimum conditions determined experimentally and the existing condition of the plant, chalk production plant process flow sheet has been proposed and the equipments have been designed in which case most of the equipments can be easily fabricated locally. Finally, the plant is financially evaluated and its initial investment cost will be recovered fully within only three years, which makes the plant viable.

Islamization in Malaysia: the constitutional and legal dimensions
Creators: name: Choo, Kah Sing
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis examines the legitimacy of the Islamization of the politics, society and law in Malaysia. The Islamization plan was carried out by the federal government in the early 1980s under the Mahathir administration. The legitimacy of the Islamization plan is measured against the original intent of the Independence Constitution, with particular reference to the position of Islam in the Constitution. Those constitutional provisions which have been claimed to have granted Islam as the main and dominant religion in the Federation are examined. The thesis also examines the responses of the civil judiciary. The civil court judges did not resist the federal government’s Islamization plan. Instead, they have supported the Islamization plan through judicial interpretation of the constitutional provisions - they changed the original meaning of ‘Islam is the religion of the Federation’ in Article 3(1). The Islamization phenomenon has seriously undermined the supreme and secular nature of the Federal Constitution. The impact of the Islamization process, with particular reference to the exercise of religious freedom is examined. The thesis argues that the federal government’s Islamization plan was deployed for political reasons, and that the entire Islamization plan which was carried out by the Mahathir’s administration is contrary to the original intent of the Federal Constitution. Consequently, the legitimacy of the federal government’s Islamization plan is highly questionable.

description: Effective exploration is a key to successful search. The recently proposed Negatively Correlated Search (NCS) tries to achieve this by parallel exploration, where a set of search processes are driven to be negatively correlated so that different promising areas of the search space can be visited simultaneously. Various applications have verified the advantages of such novel search behaviors. Nevertheless, the mathematical understandings are still lacking as the previous NCS was mostly devised by intuition. In this paper, a more principled NCS is presented, explaining that the parallel exploration is equivalent to the explicit maximization of both the population diversity and the population solution qualities, and can be optimally obtained by partially gradient descending both models with respect to each search process. For empirical assessments, the reinforcement learning tasks that largely demand exploration ability is considered. The new NCS is applied to the popular reinforcement learning problems, i.e., playing Atari games, to directly train a deep convolution network with 1.7 million connection weights in the environments with uncertain and delayed rewards. Empirical results show that the significant advantages of NCS over the compared state-of-the-art methods can be highly owed to the effective parallel exploration ability.
Private Information Retrieval from Coded Databases with Colluding Servers

description: We present a general framework for Private Information Retrieval (PIR) from arbitrary coded databases, that allows one to adjust the rate of the scheme according to the suspected number of colluding servers. If the storage code is a generalized Reed-Solomon code of length n and dimension k, we design PIR schemes which simultaneously protect against t colluding servers and provide PIR rate 1-(k+t-1)/n, for all t between 1 and n-k. This interpolates between the previously studied cases of t=1 and k=1 and asymptotically achieves the known capacity bounds in both of these cases, as the size of the database grows.
Cessation of refugee status under article 1 c(5) of the 1951 refugee convention: protection from persecution or effective protection?
Creators: name: O'Sullivan, Maria Josephine
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis examines the use by States of the 'changed circumstances' cessation provision in Article IC(5) of the Refugee Convention, and the wider implications of this practice for international refugee law. It focuses in particular on the application of the cessation clause to refugees from Iraq and Afghanistan - two countries which, despite changes in country conditions, continue to experience civil conflict and security concerns. A number of important interpretative issues arise in relation to cessation under Article I C(5) of the Convention. These include: the relationship between the criteria for recognition and cessation of refugee status under Articles 1 A(2) and 1 C(5) of the Convention; what is required to constitute a 'change in circumstances' in the country of origin; the applicable burden and standard of proof and the meaning of 'protection'. The interpretation of 'protection' in this context is particular important, not only for elucidation of the cessation criteria, but also more broadly for the meaning of protection under international refugee law. As such the thesis canvasses debates which are pertinent to many other contentious areas of refugee law, including the relationship between the refugee definition and complementary protection, application of the Refugee Convention in situations of armed conflict, and the role of non-state bodies as actors of protection. It also illustrates some of the central problems with the way in which the 1951 Refugee Convention is implemented domestically in key asylum host states. The arguments put forward in this thesis have particular significance for the return of asylum-seekers and refugees to situations of ongoing conflict and post-conflict situations and is therefore highly pertinent to the future development of international refugee law.

description: The nonlocal nature of the Majorana zero modes implies an inherent teleportation channel and unique transport signatures for Majorana identification. In this work we make an effort to eliminate some inconsistencies between the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation based treatment and the method using the associated regular fermion number states of vacancy and occupation within the `second quantization' framework. We first consider a rather simple `quantum dot--Majorana wire--quantum dot' system, then a more experimentally relevant setup by replacing the quantum dots with transport leads. For the latter setup, based on the dynamical evolution of electron-hole excitations, we develop a single-particle-wavefunction approach to quantum transport, which renders both the conventional quantum scattering theory and the steady-state nonequilibrium Green's function formalism as its stationary limit. Further, we revisit the issue of Majorana tunneling spectroscopy and consider in particular the two-lead coupling setup. We present comprehensive discussions with detailed comparisons, and predict a zero-bias-limit conductance of $e^2/h$ (for symmetric coupling to the leads),which is a half of the popular result of the zero-bias-peak, or, the so-called Majorana quantized conductance ($2e^2/h$). The present work may arouse a need to reexamine some existing studies and the proposed treatment is expected to be involved in analyzing future experiments in this fast developing field.

description: In this work we extend our previous studies on the quantum transfer of a particle through a finite-bandwidth continuum under frequent detections, by replacing the assumed frequent measurements with a genuine continuous monitoring by a point-contact detector. We present a quantitative comparison between the two types of measurement. We also propose possible measurements, based on the state-of-the-art experiments, to test the `scaling' property between the measurement rate and the bandwidth of the reservoir, rooted in the transfer dynamics under continuous monitoring.

description: We present a PDE-based approach for the multidimensional extrapolation of smooth scalar quantities across interfaces with kinks and regions of high curvature. Unlike the commonly used method of [2] in which normal derivatives are extrapolated, the proposed approach is based on the extrapolation and weighting of Cartesian derivatives. As a result, second- and third-order accurate extensions in the $L^\infty$ norm are obtained with linear and quadratic extrapolations, respectively, even in the presence of sharp geometric features. The accuracy of the method is demonstrated on a number of examples in two and three spatial dimensions and compared to the approach of [2]. The importance of accurate extrapolation near sharp geometric features is highlighted on an example of solving the diffusion equation on evolving domains.

description: La investigación médica está sujeta a normas éticas que sirven para proteger la salud. Algunas poblaciones sometidas a la investigación son vulnerables y necesitan protección especial. El propósito principal de la investigación médica en seres humanos es mejorar los procedimientos preventivos, diagnósticos y terapéuticos, y también comprender la etiología y patogenia de las enfermedades. Incluso, los mejores métodos preventivos, diagnósticos y terapéuticos disponibles deben ponerse a prueba continuamente a través de la investigación para que sean eficaces, efectivos, accesibles y de calidad. Actualmente se está mostrando particular interés en determinar los factores pronósticos que intervienen en la supervivencia de pacientes con cáncer óseo, más exactamente Osteosarcoma. Dado que las estadísticas muestran que no es tan frecuente como lo son el cáncer de próstata, mama, cuello del útero, colon o pulmón, pero el osteosarcoma o tumor de las células productoras de matriz osea tiene dos características que llaman la atención de los médicos y crean justificada preocupación: es muy agresivo y ataca principalmente a niños y adolescentes, de modo que afecta su desarrollo y pone en peligro la vida a edades tempranas. Como en todo tipo de cáncer, el pronóstico y la supervivencia a largo plazo pueden variar mucho según la persona. La atención médica adecuada y temprana contribuye a un mejor diagnóstico. Continuamente se descubren nuevos métodos médicos para mejorar el tratamiento y reducir los efectos secundarios, pero no sin antes tener datos de incidencia y prevalencia. Estudiar hoy la concordancia del diagnóstico de osteosarcoma por radiología convencional VS diagnóstico histopatológico en la ciudad de Cartagena de Indias, se puede convertir en una de las tantas formas que existen para mejorar el procedimiento diagnóstico de esta enfermedad, de la mano de datos reales e históricos de incidencia y prevalencia que incentiven otras investigaciones futuras.

Kitaev Building-block Construction for Inversion-Protected Higher-order Topological Superconductors

description: We propose a general theoretical framework for both constructing and diagnosing inversion-protected higher-order topological superconductors using Kitaev building blocks, a higher-dimensional generalization of Kitaev's one-dimensional Majorana model. For a given crystalline symmetry, the Kitaev building blocks serve as a complete basis to construct all possible Kitaev superconductors that satisfy the symmetry requirements. We derive a simple yet powerful Majorana counting rule that can unambiguously diagnose the existence of higher-order topology for all Kitaev superconductors. We expect this real-space diagnosis to work for general two-dimensional higher-order topological superconductors within this symmetry class. As proof of concept, we have identified two inequivalent stacking strategies using the Kitaev building blocks, based on which we have constructed minimal tight-binding models with symmetry-protecetd Majorana corner modes. Moreover, we have successfully applied our diagnosis to comprehend the Majorana corner physcis in a superconductor model with a fragile Wannier obstruction, confirming the validity of our theory beyond the Kitaev limit. Our work paves the way for interpreting higher-order topological superconductivity from the real-space perspective.

Arbitral discretion in resolving conflicts of laws - the case for a bright-line closest connection test in international commercial arbitration
Creators: name: Hayward, Benjamin Luke
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2016
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This dissertation establishes that the conflict of laws in international commercial arbitration – concerning the substantive law governing the merits of the dispute – should be the subject of reform. It proposes the introduction of a bright-line test, based on the concept of the closest connection. Its specific recommendation is for the adoption, in international commercial arbitration, of a modified version of the conflicts rule contained in Art. 4 Rome Convention. That provision incorporates a closest connection test, subject to a characteristic performance presumption. This dissertation’s recommendation includes the adoption of modifications to the original Art. 4 Rome Convention text. These modifications are necessitated by the arbitration context, and are also prompted by better understandings of the original text’s limitations that have been obtained through its application in case law and its consideration in scholarly analysis since the instrument was first opened for signature on 19 June 1980. This dissertation is situated at the intersection of international commercial arbitration and the conflict of laws. It is essentially a study of the tension in the law between certainty and flexibility – and more specifically, between provisions described by law and economics scholarship as rules and standards. Though this dissertation is concerned with a very specific subject-matter, its analysis is broad-ranging and contextual. It draws upon the law, practice and literature concerning conflicts of laws relating to both arbitration and State court proceedings. It also takes into consideration the way in which its analysis affects, and is affected by, other features of international commercial arbitration, and other aspects of arbitral procedure. This dissertation’s analysis incorporates consideration of the way in which conflicts questions are currently regulated in an extensive sample of instruments. These include the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration, the arbitration laws of Switzerland, France and the United Kingdom, and 102 sets of past and present arbitration rules promulgated by key arbitral institutions and other interested bodies. It also takes the New York Convention as an essential baseline reference point. This dissertation recognises that the reform of arbitral procedure is always ongoing, and must be directed at meeting the needs of the commercial parties who are the true users of international commercial arbitration. To this end, its proposal is intended to contribute to the ongoing improvement of the law and practice of international commercial arbitration – an important form of commercial dispute resolution – and ultimately the promotion of international trade, and international economic wellbeing.

description: The main purpose of this study was to explore the relation and effect of empowerment on employees' job satisfaction. The research has been designed as a case study employing descriptive statistics and spear man correlation. Both primary and secondary data were used in the research. A survey questionnaire with five point Likert scale and open ended question was a main tool for gathering primary data about employee empowerment and job satisfaction. A total of 145 (81% of the population) participants in the Head office and field office participated in filling the questionnaires. These participants were selected using random sampling method. The findings of this study indicated that respondents have medium/moderate job satisfaction and empowered to moderate or medium level. The correlation result indicates there is positive relationship between employee empowerment and employee job satisfaction but not strong or significant. The study also show that the level of empowerment and Job satisfaction varies with respondents demographic characteristics like age, education level, experience and work states. T So in LWF empowering of employees means increasing job satisfaction. So the LWF management should understand this and work on employee empowerment to the higher level to get higher level of job satisfaction by employees. However, some aspects require improvement by the management as low mean rating obtained from their scores. These includes, giving incentives to work hard and pay competitive salary , introduce promotion strategy ,assess and increase benefit packages ,work on job security maintaining mechanism, prepare good working environment where employees can use their ability and skills and develop good employee feedback mechanisms.
