Melbourne Linh Son Buddhist Society Inc v Gippsreal Ltd [2017] VSCA 161: The Penalties Doctrine and the Loan Establishment Fee Conundrum
Creators: name: Tiverios, Nicholas A
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: The payment of a loan establishment fee to a lender is an important, and common, feature of loan transactions. It is also a standard drafting technique to require a borrower to pay such a fee as an agreed remedy if she fails to settle her loan. Accordingly, it is of considerable importance for lenders to know where they stand when drafting loan transactions that contain an establishment fee and whether the payment of such a fee on a borrower’s default will withstand scrutiny by way of the penalties doctrine. Whether an establishment fee is punitive was precisely the issue considered by the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Victoria in Melbourne Linh Son Buddhist Society Inc v Gippsreal Ltd [2017] VSCA 161 (23 June 2017). The majority held that the payment of a loan establishment fee as a component of an agreed remedy in circumstances where a borrower, in breach of contract, failed to settle a loan constituted a penalty. This note argues that the general approach adopted by the majority towards the penalties issue ought not be followed. The majority considered whether the payment of the establishment fee as a component of an agreed remedy was punitive by considering whether the fee was legitimate in the sense of being objectively fair or reasonable. It will be demonstrated in this note that the correct approach requires the court to take into account the lender’s expectation interests in the performance of the loan agreement in deciding whether the agreed remedy exacts a punishment on the borrower.

Magnetism and superconductivity in doped triangular-lattice Mott insulators

description: Inspired by recent advances in the fabrication of surface superlattices, and in particular the triangular lattice made of tin (Sn) atoms on silicon, we study an extended Hubbard mode on a triangular lattice. The observations of magnetism in these systems justify the inclusion of a strong on-site repulsion and the observation of superconductivity suggests including an effective, nearest-neighbor attractive interaction. The attractive interaction mimics the effect of strong on-site repulsion near half filling, which can be seen in strong coupling vertex calculations such as the Eliashberg method. With this extended Hubbard model on a triangular lattice with its geometrical frustration, we find a rich phase diagram of various magnetic orders and pairing functions, within the framework of self-consistent mean field theory. We uncover the competition among magnetism and unconventional superconductivity, and their coexistence for triplet pairings. We follow the Fermi surface of the system as the system is doped away from half filling and find nesting vectors and a Lifshitz transition which provide an intuitive understanding of the phase transitions between the many orders we consider.

Subjects: subject: Law

description: This article examines the conceptual interconnectedness of the federal mandatory immigration detention regime and mandatory minimum sentencing in Western Australia, two procedural and political responses to populist concerns regarding ‘waves of boat people’ and ‘waves of crime’. Through a comparative analysis, the ‘mandatory’ character of these ostensibly separate and distinct practices is shown to limit judicial discretion and oversight of government action. Mandatory practices privilege goals of deterrence, incapacitation and retribution and depict these as promoting the best interests of national safety and security. These practices are also markedly similar in the sense that they are at odds with the principle of due process, unfairly tipping the balance away from individual freedoms and towards the interests of the state, offending aspirational notions of judicial function, the rule of law and natural justice.

description: The objective of this study was to determine production costs for both conventional tillage and no-till for continuous monoculture wheat production in the southern Great Plains. The reduction in the price of glyphosate after the original patent expired has improved the relative economics of no-till for continuous winter wheat. However, if differences in the opportunity cost of labor are ignored, for some farm sizes, total operating plus machinery fixed costs are greater for the no-till system.

description: Registers of trapped neutral atoms, excited to Rydberg states to induce strong long-distance interactions, are extensively studied for direct applications in quantum computing. Here, we present a novel $CCΦ$ quantum phase gate protocol based on radio-frequency-induced Förster resonant interactions in the array of highly excited $^{87}$Rb atoms. The extreme controllability of interactions provided by RF field application enables high-fidelity and robust gate performance for a wide range of parameters of the atomic system, as well as it significantly facilitates the experimental implementation of the gate protocol. Taking into account finite Rydberg states lifetimes, we achieve an average theoretical gate fidelity of $99.27 \%$ under room-temperature conditions (improved up to $99.65 \%$ in a cryogenic environment), thus showing the protocol compatibility with modern quantum error correction techniques.

The full density operator of an arbitrary quantum state is efficiently reconstructed in the Fock basis, using semidefinite programming, after interference with a small set of calibrated coherent states. This new protocol is resource- and computationally efficient, is robust against noise, does not rely on approximate state displacements, and ensures the physicality of results.

Variational description of multi-fluid hydrodynamics: Uncharged fluids

description: We present a formalism for Newtonian multi-fluid hydrodynamics derived from an unconstrained variational principle. This approach provides a natural way of obtaining the general equations of motion for a wide range of hydrodynamic systems containing an arbitrary number of interacting fluids and superfluids. In addition to spatial variations we use ``time shifts'' in the variational principle, which allows us to describe dissipative processes with entropy creation, such as chemical reactions, friction or the effects of external non-conservative forces. The resulting framework incorporates the generalization of the entrainment effect originally discussed in the case of the mixture of two superfluids by Andreev and Bashkin. In addition to the conservation of energy and momentum, we derive the generalized conservation laws of vorticity and helicity, and the special case of Ertel's theorem for the single perfect fluid. We explicitly discuss the application of this framework to thermally conducting fluids, superfluids, and superfluid neutron star matter. The equations governing thermally conducting fluids are found to be more general than the standard description, as the effect of entrainment usually seems to be overlooked in this context. In the case of superfluid He4 we recover the Landau--Khalatnikov equations of the two-fluid model via a translation to the ``orthodox'' framework of superfluidity, which is based on a rather awkward choice of variables. Our two-fluid model for superfluid neutron star matter allows for dissipation via mutual friction and also ``transfusion'' via beta-reactions between the neutron fluid and the proton-electron fluid.

Nice or Nasty?: Reasons to Abolish Character as a Consideration in Australian Sentencing Hearings and Professionals' Disciplinary Proceedings

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

description: An offender’s character is a consideration that often influences the outcomes of Australian sentencing hearings; good character is generally a mitigating consideration, while bad character can increase the severity of the penalty. Character can also play a central role in lawyers’ and health practitioners’ disciplinary proceedings and lead to determinations that restrict the practise of their professions. In this article, we argue that it is unfair and unnecessary for purported evaluations of the character of the subject of a sentencing or disciplinary hearing to influence decisions made in those matters about penalties or determinations respectively. The concept of character is vague and incoherent, and lacks any settled definition or empirical foundation. Consequently, judicial and tribunal decisions that are based on assessments of individuals’ character and impinge on their legal rights and interests may be unjust and violate the rule of law. Further, it is sufficient for decision-makers to evaluate the crime or misconduct of the subjects of sentencing and disciplinary hearings, without referring to their character, to reach decisions that achieve the appropriate objectives of those proceedings and, in particular, the protection of the community. We therefore propose that the law be reformed to abolish character as a consideration in sentencing hearings and professionals’ disciplinary proceedings.

description: Many interesting physical problems described by systems of hyperbolic conservation laws are stiff, and thus impose a very small time-step because of the restrictive CFL stability condition. In this case, one can exploit the superior stability properties of implicit time integration which allows to choose the time-step only from accuracy requirements, and thus avoid the use of small time-steps. We discuss an efficient framework to devise high order implicit schemes for stiff hyperbolic systems without tailoring it to a specific problem. The nonlinearity of high order schemes, due to space- and time-limiting procedures which control nonphysical oscillations, makes the implicit time integration difficult, e.g.~because the discrete system is nonlinear also on linear problems. This nonlinearity of the scheme is circumvented as proposed in (Puppo et al., Comm.~Appl.~Math.~\& Comput., 2023) for scalar conservation laws, where a first order implicit predictor is computed to freeze the nonlinear coefficients of the essentially non-oscillatory space reconstruction, and also to assist limiting in time. In addition, we propose a novel conservative flux-centered a-posteriori time-limiting procedure using numerical entropy indicators to detect troubled cells. The numerical tests involve classical and artificially devised stiff problems using the Euler's system of gas-dynamics.

description: Starting from the swampland distance conjecture, and using the species bound for a large number of weakly-coupled particles, we give a derivation of the recently proposed trans-Planckian censorship conjecture. Our argument demonstrates how a quantum gravity principle requires that trans-Planckian quantum fluctuations should never cross the Hubble horizon. We also comment on how logarithmic corrections to the de-Sitter conjecture arise naturally from such an approach when one relaxes the requirement of traversing parametrically large distances on field space.

description: Price risk management strategies are analyzed for NuSunTM oil sunflower producers. Correlations indicate that changes in NuSun prices are the most closely correlated with canola futures. Soybean oil futures were a distant, secondbest correlation. A cross-hedge ratio of .99 hundredweight of November canola futures was derived for October. With December soybean oil futures, the cross-hedge ratio was .33 hundredweight. On the basis of net price received, seven strategies ranked better than harvest sales only. Soybean oil futures performed somewhat better across all strategies, but with somewhat higher variability on average. The analysis was based on 1997-2004 data.

description: Ultralight bosons near rotating black holes can undergo significant growth through superradiant energy extraction, potentially reaching field values close to the Planck scale and transforming black holes into effective transducers for these fields. The interaction between boson fields and fermions may lead to parametric production or Schwinger pair production of fermions, with efficiencies significantly exceeding those of perturbative decay processes. Additionally, the spatial gradients of scalar clouds and the electric components of vector clouds can accelerate fermions, resulting in observable fluxes. This study considers both Standard Model neutrinos and dark sector fermions, which could contribute to boosted dark matter. Energy loss due to fermion emissions can potentially quench the exponential growth of the cloud, leading to a saturated state. This dynamic provides a framework for establishing limits on boson-neutrino interactions, previously constrained by neutrino self-interaction considerations. In the saturation phase, boson clouds have the capacity to accelerate fermions to TeV energies, producing fluxes that surpass those from atmospheric neutrinos near black holes. These fluxes open new avenues for observations through high-energy neutrino detectors like IceCube, as well as through dark matter direct detection efforts focused on targeted black holes.

description: It has been suggested recently that `$q$-exponential' distributions which form the basis of Tsallis' non-extensive thermostatistical formalism may be viewed as mixtures of exponential (Gibbs) distributions characterized by a fluctuating inverse temperature. In this paper, we revisit this idea in connection with a detailed microscopic calculation of the energy and temperature fluctuations present in a finite vessel of perfect gas thermally coupled to a heat bath. We find that the probability density related to the inverse temperature of the gas has a form similar to a $χ^2$ density, and that the `mixed' Gibbs distribution inferred from this density is non-Gibbsian. These findings are compared with those obtained by a number of researchers who worked on mixtures of Gibbsian distributions in the context of velocity difference measurements in turbulent fluids as well as secondaries distributions in nuclear scattering experiments.

description: A recent theory [Metlov and Michels, Phys. Rev. B 91, 054404 (2015)] predicts a qualitatively new effect in the magnetic small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) cross section of statistically-isotropic disordered ferromagnetic media. The effect is due to the third-order terms in the amplitude of the inhomogeneities. Here, its existence is demonstrated both numerically via large-scale micromagnetic simulations and analyzed experimentally in a two-phase iron-based nanocomposite. The previous model is extended to an arbitrary spatial defect profile, which allows us to describe the experimental field dependence of the third-order SANS effect quantitatively.

description: In class actions the twin evils of cost and delay that beset the civil justice system may persist past the formal litigation process and into the post- settlement phase where compensation is allocated to each group member. This article employs the experience with the Kilmore East Kinglake bushfire class action (‘KEK’) to explain why cost and delay are incurred in relation to the settlement distribution scheme (‘SDS’) that operated post-settlement and considers the steps that were taken to address these problems. The article takes the position that more can and should be done. The article proposes and critiques possible reforms to SDS procedures aimed at fostering fairness while reducing cost and delay, namely, interim distributions, a fast-track component of an SDS, a matrix SDS approach, allowing for competition in the appointment of the SDS administrator, including encouraging novel forms of charging, and technology.

description: We present a method to compute non-perturbatively the renormalization constant of the scalar density for Ginsparg-Wilson fermions. It relies on chiral symmetry and is based on a matching of renormalization group invariant masses at fixed pseudoscalar meson mass, making use of results previously obtained by the ALPHA Collaboration for O(a)-improved Wilson fermions. Our approach is quite general and enables the renormalization of scalar and pseudoscalar densities in lattice regularizations that preserve chiral symmetry and of fermion masses in any regularization. As an application we compute the non-perturbative factor which relates the renormalization group invariant quark condensate to its bare counterpart, obtained with overlap fermions at beta=5.85 in the quenched approximation.

description: Agricultural sustainability can only be achieved when the ends are target from the means. This does not include only safe production in terms of consciousness of future generation needs but building up the capacity of the Agricultural system towards increase in productivity cum profit maximization through the new trend of extension services. Under WTO, the globalization/liberalization of market demands farmers at all levels to transform themselves from production and selling in the domestic market to producer cum seller in the wider market scene to realize the optimum returns on their investments. The need for market led is of necessity by the paradigm shift of present Agriculture scenarios which calls for conversion of the sector into profit oriented business. FAO estimates that 32 percent of all food produced in the world were lost in 2009 due to lack of post-harvest operation among others (Lipinski, B. et al. 2013).Similarly, 13% of Gross Domestic Product was reported loss yearly in India due to loss of food grains (Manipadma Jena, 2013). Existence of many middle men has also resulted into less return on farmer’s investment as well as high cost paid by the consumer. However this loss can be minimized by the Market Led extension approach through adequate supply of information by SWOT analysis of the market, establishing market and agro processing linkages, direct marketing, and capacity building in terms of improved production and post-harvest operation such as proper handling, grading, standardizing, value addition, packaging as well as storage and transport system (Ahmad Nafees and Slathia, 2011). Hence, this paper discusses the prospects and challenges of market led extension in view of 21st century scenario for capacity building of farmers, extension functionaries’ stakeholders, and also for policy recommendation towards holistic sustainable agricultural development.

The case when each string contains only one annihilation operator is already combinatorially nontrivial. Two kinds of expansion are derived: (i) that of a power of a string $Ω$ in lower powers of another string $Ω'$, and (ii) that of a power of $Ω$ in twisted versions of the same power of $Ω'$. The expansion coefficients are shown to be, respectively, generalized Stirling numbers of Hsu and Shiue, and certain generalized Eulerian numbers. Many examples are given. These combinatorial numbers are binomial transforms of each other, and their theory is developed, emphasizing schemes for computing them: summation formulas, Graham-Knuth-Patashnik (GKP) triangular recurrences, terminating hypergeometric series, and closed-form expressions. The results on the first type of expansion subsume a number of previous results on the normal ordering of boson strings.

Analysis on image recovery for digital Fresnel hologram with aliased fringe generated from self-similarity of point spread function

description: We analyze the aliasing phenomenon for digital Fresnel hologram with an enhanced numerical aperture (NA). The enhanced-NA digital hologram acquired computationally or optically at a closer distance from the object has an aliased fringe generated by undersampling process of the Fresnel prefactor. The point spread function known as Fresnel factor reveals a self-similar envelope when being sampled, which becomes a crucial mechanism in making this type of aliasing fringe of hologram. We describe that as the enhanced-NA hologram involves already the complementary aliased fringe that might come up in the reconstruction process, the robust recovery of object image can be realized. These behaviors are confirmed through numerical simulation. Based on the analysis of aliased hologram fringe, we provide a method for reconstructing the object image from the enhanced-NA digital Fresnel hologram without the shrinkage of image size.

Creators: name: Ishikawa, S.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A modified version of the Faddeev three-body equation to accommodate the Coulomb interaction, which was used in the study of three-nucleon bound states, is applied to the proton-deuteron scattering problem at energies below the three-body breakup threshold. A formal derivation of the equation in a time-independent scattering theory is given. Numerical results for phase shift parameters are presented to be compared with those of another methods and results of the phase shift analysis. Differential cross sections and nucleon analyzing powers are calculated with the effects of three-nucleon forces, and these results are compared with recent experimental data. The difference between the nucleon analyzing power in proton-deuteron scattering and that in neutron-deuteron scattering is discussed.

Maxwell's Theory on Non-Commutative Spaces and Quaternions
Creators: name: Kruglov, S. I.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Maxwell theory on non-commutative spaces has been considered. The non-linear equations of electromagnetic fields on non-commutative spaces were obtained in the compact spin-tensor (quaternion) form. It was shown that the plane electromagnetic wave is the solution of the system of non-linear wave equations of the second order for the electric and magnetic induction fields. We have found the canonical and symmetrical energy-momentum tensors and their non-zero traces. So, the trace anomaly of the energy-momentum tensor was obtained in electrodynamics on non-commutative spaces. It was noted that the dual transformations of electromagnetic fields on non-commutative spaces are broken.

Regulating the Non-Consensual Sharing of Intimate Images ('Revenge Pornography') via a Civil Penalty Regime: A Sex Equality Analysis
Creators: name: Evans, Michelle
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: The ‘non-consensual sharing of intimate images’, more commonly known as ‘revenge pornography’, is a widespread issue, which can have devastating consequences for victims. However, it is an area where the law has only just started responding to technology, with legislative reforms in several states including South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and Western Australia. This paper provides an overview of relevant state and federal laws. Its main focus is to critique the most recent Commonwealth legislative reforms to regulate the non- consensual sharing of intimate images via a civil penalties regime. These reforms were made by the Enhancing Online Safety (Non-Consensual Sharing of Intimate Images) Act 2018 (Cth), which amended the Enhancing Online Safety Act 2015 (Cth). This paper critiques the civil penalties regime from a sex equality perspective, and makes suggestions to improve the reforms so that victims are better protected and empowered.

Instabilities in monoaxial chiral magnets under a tilted magnetic field

description: We thoroughly study the zero temperature properties of monoaxial chiral spin systems under a tilted magnetic field. The magnetic phase diagram includes two kinds of continuous phase transitions and one discontinuous phase transition. We clarify the properties of the phase transition in terms of the helical wave picture and the particle (soliton) picture and also in terms of the interaction between solitons. The interacting-soliton picture properly describes most of the discontinuous phase transition. In addition, we investigate several instabilities of the modulated structures such as an isolated soliton and the surface modulation, since their instabilities should be important to the changes of the magnetic properties. For this purpose, we perform the analyses based on the energy landscape as well as the excitation spectrum; the former approach gives an intuitive interpretation. We clarify the mechanisms of the instabilities through these analyses and draw the stability lines of solitons in the magnetic phase diagram.

The Locus of Defamation Law Since the Constitution of Oxford
Creators: name: Dent, Chris
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: Defamation law has a long history — being established, as a result of the Fourth Lateran Council, in the first half of the 13th century. Unsurprisingly, given its age, the nature of what was being protected by defamation law has not been consistent over that time. This research maps the focus of the action across the medieval period, the 17th century, and the 19th century. That, at different stages, there have been emphases on ‘false facts’, ‘honour’, ‘character’, ‘name’ and ‘reputation’ shows that the law has not been stable. The argument is not that the law should be stable, but that any assumptions around the centrality of reputation over the course of the development of defamation law are ill-founded.

description: Recognition and analysis of Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU) using computerized methods is an emerging research area with the evolution of image-based machine learning algorithms. Existing research using visual computerized methods mainly focuses on recognition, detection, and segmentation of the visual appearance of the DFU as well as tissue classification. According to DFU medical classification systems, the presence of infection (bacteria in the wound) and ischaemia (inadequate blood supply) has important clinical implications for DFU assessment, which are used to predict the risk of amputation. In this work, we propose a new dataset and computer vision techniques to identify the presence of infection and ischaemia in DFU. This is the first time a DFU dataset with ground truth labels of ischaemia and infection cases is introduced for research purposes. For the handcrafted machine learning approach, we propose a new feature descriptor, namely the Superpixel Color Descriptor. Then we use the Ensemble Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model for more effective recognition of ischaemia and infection. We propose to use a natural data-augmentation method, which identifies the region of interest on foot images and focuses on finding the salient features existing in this area. Finally, we evaluate the performance of our proposed techniques on binary classification, i.e. ischaemia versus non-ischaemia and infection versus non-infection. Overall, our method performed better in the classification of ischaemia than infection. We found that our proposed Ensemble CNN deep learning algorithms performed better for both classification tasks as compared to handcrafted machine learning algorithms, with 90% accuracy in ischaemia classification and 73% in infection classification.
