description: The transmission scheduling is a critical problem in radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting communications. Existing transmission strategies in an RF-based energy harvesting system is mainly based on a classic model, in which the data transmission is scheduled in a fixed feasible energy tunnel. In this paper, we re-examine the classic energy harvesting model and show through the theoretical analysis and experimental results that the bounds of feasible energy tunnel are dynamic, which can be affected by the transmission scheduling due to the impact of residual energy on the harvested one. To describe a practical energy harvesting process more accurately, a new model is proposed by adding a feedback loop that reflects the interplay between the energy harvest and the data transmission. Furthermore, to improve network performance, we revisit the design of an optimal transmission scheduling strategy based on the new model. To handle the challenge of the endless feedback loop in the new model, a recursive algorithm is developed. The simulation results reveal that the new transmission scheduling strategy can balance the efficiency of energy reception and energy utilization regardless of the length of energy packets, achieving improved throughput performance for wireless communications.
Meta Information in Graph-based Simultaneous Localisation And Mapping
Creators: name: Henein, Mina
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: Establishing the spatial and temporal relationships between a robot, and its environment serves as a basis for scene understanding. The established approach in the literature to simultaneously build a representation of the environment, and spatially and temporally localise the robot within the environment, is Simultaneous Localisation And Mapping (SLAM). SLAM algorithms in general, and in particular visual SLAM--where the primary sensors used are cameras--have gained a great amount of attention in the robotics and computer vision communities over the last few decades due to their wide range of applications. The advances in sensing technologies and image-based learning techniques provide an opportunity to introduce additional understanding of the environment to improve the performance of SLAM algorithms. In this thesis, I utilise meta information in a SLAM framework to achieve a robust and consistent representation of the environment and challenge some of the most limiting assumptions in the literature. I exploit structural information associated with geometric primitives, making use of the significant amount of structure present in real world scenes where SLAM algorithms are normally deployed. In particular, I exploit planarity of a group of points and introduce higher-level information associated with orthogonality and parallelism of planes to achieve structural consistency of the returned map. Separately, I also challenge the static world assumption that severely limits the deployment of autonomous mobile robotic systems in a wide range of important real world applications involving highly dynamic and unstructured environments by utilising the semantic and dynamic information in the scene. Most existing techniques try to simplify the problem by ignoring dynamics, relying on a pre-collected database of objects 3D models, imposing some motion constraints or fail to estimate the full SE(3) motions of objects in the scene which makes it infeasible to deploy these algorithms in real life scenarios of unknown and highly dynamic environments. Exploiting semantic and dynamic information in the environment allows to introduce a model-free object-aware SLAM system that is able to achieve robust moving object tracking, accurate estimation of dynamic objects full SE(3) motion, and extract velocity information of moving objects in the scene, resulting in accurate robot localisation and spatio-temporal map estimation.

Textual Critique through the Artist's Eye: John Austen's Illustrated Hamlet
Creators: name: Moore, Luisa
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: Textual Critique through the Artist's Eye: John Austen's Illustrated Hamlet explores the way in which the non-verbal, non-explicit mode of interpretation afforded by visual art allows a kind of free play to potentially subversive interpretations of characters' implied interiority in Shakespeare. It takes John Austen's highly aesthetic, art nouveau illustrated edition of Hamlet, dating to 1922, as a case study. Austen's images represent a distinctive contribution to critical debate surrounding the play, anticipating later critical and performative interpretations of the play. His illustrations present a dark prince almost unprecedented in visual art, present in the text but invisible to many of his contemporaries and eighteenth- and nineteenth-century forebears, a complicated and independent Ophelia, a diabolical Ghost, and host of disturbing, deeply symbolic, supernatural, feminine entities. Women are no longer relegated to the background in his Hamlet, as in so many onstage, visual artistic and filmic adaptations of the twentieth century; instead, they are granted a position centre-stage, with the Greek goddess Nemesis ("Vengeance") as their fierce, relentless champion.

Electroweak Breaking in Supersymmetric Models

description: We discuss the mechanism for electroweak symmetry breaking in supersymmetric versions of the standard model. After briefly reviewing the possible sources of supersymmetry breaking, we show how the required pattern of symmetry breaking can automatically result from the structure of quantum corrections in the theory. We demonstrate that this radiative breaking mechanism works well for a heavy top quark and can be combined in unified versions of the theory with excellent predictions for the running couplings of the model.

International Criminal Law with Asian Characteristics
Creators: name: Chesterman, Simon
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2014

description: The history of international criminal law typically effaces Asian experience of the topic. This is partly because incidents such as the Tokyo Trial disclose racial and colonial biases that are now seen as embarrassing. Yet failing to engage with Asian experience also impoverishes our understanding of the possibilities and limitations of international criminal law. In particular, pragmatic adaptation of “universal” principles in various Asian jurisdictions offers a helpful lens through which to view the inherent tension between legitimacy and effectiveness in international criminal trials: the desire for legitimacy that goes beyond a state whose leaders may have engaged in unspeakable acts; the need for effectiveness at the local level if any resolution of a conflict is to be enduring. A more nuanced understanding may also help explain an apparent paradox: despite having a long tradition of restrictions on the conduct of hostilities, Asian states today are twice as unlikely to have accepted the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court when compared with any other region.

description: Shell-model calculations of solar neutrino absorption cross sections for $^{40}$Ar, the proposed component of the ICARUS detector, are presented. It is found that low-lying Gamow-Teller transitions lead to a significant enhancement of the absorption rate over that expected from the Fermi transition between the isobaric analog states, leading to an overall absorption rate of 6.7 SNU. We also note that the pertinent Gamow-Teller transitions in $^{\sss 40}$Ar are experimentally accessible from the $β$-decay of the mirror nucleus $^{\sss 40}$Ti. Predictions for the branching ratios to states in $^{\sss 40}$Sc are presented, and the theoretical halflife of 53~ms is found to be in good agreement with the experimental value of $56^{+18}_{-12}$~ms.

Corporate Governance Models and Practices in Japan and East Asia: Proceedings of a Panel Discussion
Creators: name: Aronson, Bruce E.
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2014

description: Despite general interest in the economic rise of Asia and in the role of law in the development of the region, the literature on comparative corporate governance in Asia is surprisingly undeveloped with respect to in-depth comparisons among Asian countries. In particular, it should be both valuable and feasible to compare and contrast corporate governance systems and practices among countries in East Asia, in light of Japan’s historical influence and more recent divergences from that influence. At a recent conference sponsored by Waseda University, a distinguished group of corporate law scholars from Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and China engaged in a broad-ranging panel discussion centering on the question of the operation and reform of traditional stakeholder-oriented corporate governance systems featuring concentrated ownership and a board of directors involved in day-to- day management against the need to account for greater monitoring of management on behalf of shareholders. For example, the panelists agreed that the traditional internal corporate auditors (or kansayaku in Japanese) have not appeared to operate effectively in monitoring management, and to some extent they should be supplemented or replaced by outside directors. However, the scope and pace of such change varies considerably among countries in East Asia, and skepticism remains about the effectiveness of outside directors. The panel discussion highlighted both the challenges and significant potential rewards for greater scholarly collaboration in making cross-Asian comparisons in the field of corporate governance.

Massive Spin-5/2 Fields Coupled to Gravity: Tree-Level Unitarity vs. the Equivalence Principle

description: I show that the gravitational scattering amplitudes of a spin-5/2 field with mass $m\ll M_{Pl}$ violate tree-level unitarity at energies $\sqrt{s}\approx\sqrt{mM_{Pl}}$ if the coupling to gravity is minimal. Unitarity up to energies $\sqrt{s}\approx M_{Pl}$ is restored by adding a suitable non-minimal term, which gives rise to interactions violating the (strong) equivalence principle. These interactions are only relevant at distances $d\lequiv 1/m$.

description: One-dimensional (1D) magnetic insulators have attracted significant interest as a platform for studying emergent phenomena such as quasiparticle fractionalization and quantum criticality. The antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain of spins-1/2 is an important reference system; its elementary excitations are spin-1/2 quasiparticles called spinons that are always created in pairs. However, while inelastic neutron scattering (INS) experiments routinely observe the excitation continuum associated with two-spinon states, the presence of more complex dynamics associated with four-spinon states has only been inferred from comparison with theory. Here, we show that resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) is capable of accessing the four-spinon excitations directly, in a spectroscopic region separated from the two-spinon continuum. Our results provide the first direct measurement of four-spinon excitations, which is made possible by the fundamentally different correlation functions probed by RIXS compared to INS. This advance holds great promise as a tool in the search for novel quantum states, in particular quantum spin liquids.
Intermediate and Heavy Higgs Boson Physics at a 0.5 TeV e^+ e^- Collider

description: We explore the potential of a future e^+ e^- collider in the 0.5 TeV center-of-mass energy range to detect intermediate or heavy Higgs bosons in the Standard Model. We first briefly assess the production cross sections and update the decay branching fractions for a Higgs boson of intermediate mass, with M_Z < m_H < 2M_W. We then study in detail the possibility of detecting a heavy Higgs boson, with m_H > 2M_W, through the production of pairs of weak bosons. We quantitatively analyze the sensitivity of the process e^+ e^- --> nu nubar W^+ W^- (ZZ) to the presence of a heavy Higgs-boson resonance in the Standard Model. We compare this signal to various backgrounds and to the smaller signal from e^+ e^- --> ZH --> mu^+ mu^- W^+ W^- (ZZ), assuming the weak-boson pairs to be detected and measured in their dominant hadronic decay modes W^+ W^- (ZZ) --> 4jets. A related Higgs-boson signal in 6-jet final states is also estimated. We show how the main backgrounds from e^+ e^- W^+ W^- (ZZ), e nu WZ, and t tbar production can be reduced by suitable acceptance cuts. Bremsstrahlung and typical beamstrahlung corrections are calculated. These corrections reduce Higgs-boson production by scattering mechanisms but increase production by annihilation mechanisms; they also smear out some dynamical features such as Jacobian peaks in p_T(H). With all these corrections included, we conclude that it should be possible to detect a heavy Higgs-boson signal in the nu nubar W^+ W^-(ZZ) channels up to mass m_H=350 GeV.

Property Rights Arrangement in Emerging Natural Resources: A Case Study of China’s Nationalization of Wind and Sunlight
Creators: name: Chen, Jianlin
name: Cui, Jiongzhe
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2013

description: The passage of the Heilongjiang Province Regulation on Climate Resources Survey and Protection (the “Regulation”) that regulates wind and solar energy generation sparked a public furor because it contains a provision that stipulates, “climate resources are owned by the state.” As a case study of this regulatory attempt to manage emerging natural resources, this Article makes the following three arguments. First, the “nationalization” provision in the Regulation is legally compatible with Chinese law that conceives of public property as state-owned property and not as property that requires public access. Second, a clear designation of the state as the manager of resources on behalf of the otherwise amorphous notion of the public is preferable to the “tragedy of the commons” that might arise from the free public access to such natural resources that is advocated by certain Chinese scholars. Third, this controversy is largely irrelevant because the state is always able to address redistribution and externality concerns related to resource use through taxation and various regulatory powers, regardless of whether natural resources are publicly or privately owned. On a broader note, this Article cautions against the pitfall of instinctively rejecting all state intervention – even when there is legitimate distrust regarding state governance – and highlights how the issue of governance remains central regardless of the property rights arrangement for emerging natural resources.

description: The relationship between mafic magmatic enclaves (MMEs) and host granitoids is ongoing debate due to their significant roles in understanding deep magmatisms and geodynamic processes. This paper reports on Early Palaeozoic granitoids and associated MMEs from the Delingha pluton in the South Qilian Accretionary Belt (NW China) to constrain their petrogenesis and draw implications. The MMEs, occurring as ellipsoidal to rounded shapes, are andesitic and have the same crystallization age (~445 Ma) and mineral assemblage as the host granitoids. However, minor isotopic differences between them and compositional and textural disequilibria on minerals (e.g. plagioclase and amphibole) do not support a cumulate origin that the MMEs were formed at earlier stage of the same magmatic system, but forcefully reflect magma hybridization processes between mafic and felsic magmas, during which the hybridized magma was broken up into discrete enclaves by convective motion in the host felsic magma. Accordingly, the primitive compositions of the MMEs likely originated from metasomatized mantle wedge source, while mantle-derived melt underplated and partially melted the lower continental crust to form the host rocks with a certain mantle contribution. Thus, the Delingha pluton is the product of crust-mantle interaction at an active continental margin subduction setting rather than syn-collisional environment, indicating that subduction of the South Qilian Ocean located between the Central Qilian Block and the Oulongbuluke Block may have lasted till to ~445 Ma.

description: We study the prospects of testing the $WWγ$ vertex in $e^- p\toνγX$ and $e^+ p\toνγX$ at HERA and LEP/LHC. Destructive interference effects between the Standard Model and the anomalous contributions to the amplitude severely limit the sensitivity of both processes to non-standard $WWγ$ couplings. Sensitivity limits for the anomalous $WWγ$ couplings $κ$ and $λ$ at HERA and LEP/LHC are derived, taking into account experimental cuts and uncertainties, and the form factor behaviour of nonstandard couplings. These limits are found to be significantly weaker than those which can be expected from other collider processes within the next few years. At HERA, they are comparable to bounds obtained from $S$-matrix unitarity.

description: Detecting nanomechanical motion has become an important challenge in Science and Technology. Recently, electromechanical coupling to focused electron beams has emerged as a promising method adapted to ultra-low scale systems. However the fundamental measurement processes associated with such complex interaction remain to be explored. Here we report highly sensitive detection of the Brownian motion of um-long semiconducting nanowires (InAs). The measurement imprecision is found to be set by the shot noise of the secondary electrons generated along the electromechanical interaction. By carefully analysing the nano-electromechanical dynamics, we demonstrate the existence of a radial backaction process which we identify as originating from the momentum exchange between the electron beam and the nanomechanical device, which is also known as radiation pressure.

description: This article explains the system of judicial review of the decisions of the Spanish National Competition Authority on the application of the prohibitions of anticompetitive conduct under Articles 101 and 102 TFEU (and their national equivalents) and analyses the judgments of the Courts of Appeal from 1.5.2003 to 31.4.2021.The decisions of the Spanish NCA give rise to a high level of litigation, which is illustrated by the large number of judgments in which individual appeals against them are decided (1390 judgments out of 274 decisions whose judicial review was completed during the period considered). As might be expected, the majority of challenges focus on fines, which are appealed in 95.5% of cases. In 62% of the judgments, the plaintiffs are wholly or partially successful, as a result of which the fines imposed in the reporting period were reduced by 43% (from € 1,670 million to € 738 million). The paper provides data on the grounds for full and partial annulment and illustrates the rigorous and intense judicial scrutiny to which the NCA's decisions are subject.

We find that, in combination with the {\it u-d\/} mass difference, the difference between quark scalar densities in protons and neutrons generates an effective neutron-proton mass difference of the right magnitude. Finally we find that isospin symmetry breaking in the quark condensates can be directly related to the $δ$ meson field.

Defensive Use of Prior Art to Exonerate Accused Acts in U.S. and Chinese Patent Litigation
Creators: name: Lau, Timothy
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2013

description: It is a fundamental principle of patent law that no one may exclude with his patent what is within the scope of the prior art. This article focuses on the ‘practicing the prior art’ defense, where the defendant defensively demonstrates that the accused acts fall within the prior art and therefore may be freely practiced, as implemented in U.S. and Chinese jurisprudence. A defendant in U.S. patent litigation has no recourse to this defense with respect to literal infringement, and his options with regard to prior art defenses is limited to the offensive variant, prior art invalidity. In contrast, a defendant in a Chinese infringement suit may only invoke this defensive variant of the prior art defenses. We explore the rationale for and against the existence of the practicing the prior art defense, and examine the peculiarities of the Chinese approach of tying its practicing the prior art defense to the doctrine of equivalents.

The Indian Anomaly: Rethinking Credit Rating Agency Regulation from the Economic Perspective of Hyman Minsky
Creators: name: Kirshner, Jodie A.
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2013

description: Policymakers have blamed credit rating agencies for the recent financial crisis – but they could be wrong. India can aid in understanding whether the agencies can still be relied upon as private “gatekeepers” in financial markets, or whether public institutions must take primary responsibility. The economist, Hyman Minsky, advocated for robust public regulation and a limited role for private actors. India can be seen as an example of his theories. If India’s agencies cannot prevent speculative credit from causing future economic problems, the problems could suggest that more structural measures are necessary to counter instability, as Minsky predicted. Analyzing India and the credit rating agencies through the frame of Minsky’s economic theories offers insights into how best to reform financial regulation to prevent future economic collapse.

Trivial Pursuits and Noble Quests: Why Ontology is Too Easy and How to Redeem it.
Creators: name: Symonds, Yehezkel
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: This thesis has two parts. Part I argues that ontology, as it is normally conceived, is a trivial pursuit. But if ontology, as it is normally conceived, is a trivial pursuit, then either ontology is a trivial pursuit or the normal (mainstream) conception of ontology is not the correct conception. In Part II, I assume (without apology) that ontology is not a trivial pursuit and ask: what is ontology? Or, what is the correct interpretation of ontology? So, how is ontology normally conceived and why is ontology, conceived of in this way, a trivial pursuit? On the mainstream conception, ontology is an investigation into what there is (or what exists). Do middle-sized objects (e.g. apples) exist? Do numbers exist? Do moral facts exist? These are some of the central questions of mainstream ontology. In recent years a number of philosophers have contended that these questions can be answered using easy arguments. Are there numbers? Well, there are two apples. Therefore, the number of apples is two. Therefore, there is a number that is the number of apples (namely, two). Therefore, there is a number. There are also easy arguments for the existence of middle-sized objects, moral facts, and many other kinds. Whether these arguments are sound is highly controversial but, in Part I, I argue that they are. However, if ontological questions can be answered so easily, then arguably they are trivial. So, if the mainstream conception of ontology is correct, then ontology is a trivial pursuit. But, what is ontology if not an investigation into what there is (or what exists)? Various alternatives can be found in the literature. On one alternative, for example, ontology is an investigation into what is fundamental. Part II examines, and critiques, these alternatives. In the final chapter, I present, and defend, a novel interpretation of ontology.
A Tumbling Top-Quark Condensate Model

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose a renormalizable model with no fundamental scalars which breaks itself in the manner of a "tumbling" gauge theory down to the standard model with a top-quark condensate. Because of anomaly cancellation requirements, this model contains two color sextet fermions (quixes), which are vector-like with respect to the standard model gauge group. The model also has a large number of pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone bosons, some of which can be light. The top-quark condensate is responsible for breaking the electroweak gauge symmetry and gives the top quark a large mass. We discuss the qualitative features and instructive shortcomings of the model in its present form. We also show that this model can be naturally embedded into an aesthetically pleasing model in which the standard model fermion families appear symmetrically.

description: Abstract: Research about trust and transparency within the realm of research data management and sharing typically centers on accreditation and compliance. Missing from many of these conversations are the social systems and enabling structures that are built on interpersonal connections. As members of the Data Curation Network (DCN), a consortium of United States-based institutional and non-profit data repositories, we have experienced first-hand the effort required to develop and sustain interpersonal trust and the benefits it provides to curation. In this paper, we reflect on the well-documented realities of curator and labor invisibility; the importance of fostering active communities (such as the DCN); and how trust, vulnerability and connectivity among colleagues leads to better curation practices.Through an investigation into data curators in the DCN, we found that, while curation can be isolating and invisible work, having a network of trusted peers helps alleviate these burdens and makes us better curators. We conclude with practical suggestions for implementing trust and transparency in relationships with colleagues and researchers.

Supersymmetry Protects the Primordial Baryon Asymmetry

description: It has been argued that any primordial B+L asymmetry existing at very high temperatures can be subsequently erased by anomalous electroweak effects. We argue that this is not necessarily the case in the supersymmetric standard model because, apart from B and/or L, there are, above a certain temperature $T_{SS}$, two other anomalous U(1) currents. As a consequence, anomalous electroweak effects are only able to partially transform a B+L excess into a generation of primordial sparticle (e.g. gaugino) density. This relaxes recent bounds on B,L-violating non-renormalizable couplings by several orders of magnitude. In particular, dimension-5 couplings inducing neutrino masses may be 4 orders of magnitude larger than in the non-supersymmetric case, allowing for neutrino masses of the order of 10 eV. These values are consistent with a MSW+see-saw explanation of the solar-neutrino data and also with possible neutrino oscillations measurable at accelerators. Cosmological bounds on other rare processes, such as neutron-antineutron oscillations get also relaxed by several orders of magnitude compared with previous estimates.

description: As a software system evolves, programmers make changes that sometimes cause problems. We analyze CVS archives for fix-inducing changes — changes that lead to problems, indicated by fixes. We automatically locate fix-inducing changes by linking a version archive (such as CVS) to a bug database (such as BUGZILLA). In a first investigation of the ECLIPSE history, it turns out that fix-inducing changes are most frequent on Fridays.

Esta presentación muestra algunos resultados de mi tesis de grado. En pocas palabras, se estudiaron las dinámicas ecológicas de los juveniles y reclutas de coral (i.e., abundancia, reclutamiento y cómo la comunidad bentónica) y si estas pueden recuperar la falta de recuperación de tejido adulto coralino en Playa Mero. Encontramos en un período de 18 meses que existe una baja abundancia de corales formadores de arrecifes (i.e., Orbicella spp. y Acropora spp.) y alta abundancia de corales que tienden a sufrir alta mortalidad (Agaricia spp.). Así mismo, ausencia de reclutamiento de especies formadoras de arrecife, Se encontró también ciclicidad en la comunidad bentónica dominada por macoralgas. Estas dinámicas muestran la improbabilidad de que el arrecife retorne a un estado dominado por corales.
