Administrative law in the People's Republic of China, 1990 - 1998 : a process of justice
Creators: name: Marshall, Robyn
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2003

description: This dissertation examines the system for redress of administrative grievances in China that was established by the Administrative Litigation Law in April1989. The law added a new dimension to state-society relations that enabled ordinary people to use the legal system to challenge administrative decisions of administrative organs. The process of making an administrative appeal is examined, beginning with the imposition of an administrative penalty by an administrative organ, progressing through administrative review which is a departmental procedure, and ending with administrative litigation by the courts and possibly an appeal for compensation. The subject matter is explored with reference to three types of administrative organs: public security, land administration, and industry and commerce organs. The roles of the players such as the applicants, the administrative organs, the courts and lawyers are canvassed. And the characteristics of administrative appeals in the context of political campaigns are assessed. In terms of academic disciplines, this study straddles the fields of politics and its subfield of public administration/public policy, and law. The primary thesis explored is political in nature. The dissertation argues that the system of administrative law as it operated throughout the 1990s is a genuine attempt to offer limited redress to plaintiffs while further developing the justice and legality of the administrative process. The system is not an empty claim to legitimacy, or a shabby attempt by the state to strengthen its waning control over society. The system provides measurable redress for some plaintiffs, although these cases are usually selected carefully from the range of appeals and tend to support the state's political or economic goals. In the final summation, however, the system tends to reinforce the power of administrative organs.

description: Relativistic quantum molecular dynamics with scalar and vector interactions based on the relativistic mean meson field theory, RQMD.RMF, is developed.It is implemented into the microscopic transport code JAM.The sensitivity of the directed and of the elliptic proton flow in high energy heavy-ion collisions on the stiffness of the RMF equation of state (EoS) is examined. These new calculations are compared to experimental data at mid-central Au + Au collisions in the beam energy range $2.5 < \sqrt{s_{NN}} < 20$ GeV. This new RQMD model with the relativistic mean field scalar and vector meson interactions does describe consistently, with one RMF parameter set,the beam energy dependence of both the directed flow and the elliptic flow,from SIS18 to AGS and RHIC BES-II energies, $\sqrt{s_{NN}}< 10$ GeV.There are different sensitivities of these different kinds of flow to the EoS: elliptic flow is most sensitive to the nuclear incompressibility constant,at the moderate beam energies $\sqrt{s_{NN}}<3$ GeV,whereas the directed flow is most sensitive to the effective baryon mass at saturation density at $3< \sqrt{s_{NN}}<5 $ GeV. Matters abruptly change in the next higher energy range,$\sqrt{s_{NN}}\gtrsim 10-20$ GeV:the directed flow data show a double change of sign of the slope of $v_1$, inverting twice in this energy range,in sudden contradiction to the RQMD.RMF calculation for a monotonous, stiff EoS. This surprising oscillating behavior,a double change of sign of the $v_1$ slope, points to the appearance of a hitherto unknown first-order phase transition in excited QCD matter at high baryon densities in mid-central Au + Au collisions.

description: I extend to QCD an efficient method for lattice gauge theory with dynamical fermions. Once the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator and the density of states of pure gluonic configurations at a set of plaquette energies (proportional to the gauge action) are computed, thermodynamical quantities deriving from the partition function can be obtained for arbitrary flavor number, quark masses and wide range of coupling constants, without additional computational cost. Results for the chiral condensate and gauge action are presented on the $10^4$ lattice at flavor number $N_f=0$, 1, 2, 3, 4 and many quark masses and coupling constants. New results in the chiral limit for the gauge action and its correlation with the chiral condensate, which are useful for analyzing the QCD chiral phase structure, are also provided.

description: A grounded theory approach was used in this study to explore the individual needs of parents raising a child diagnosed with disability. The focus was on what parents regarded as their personal and support needs, how they met them and how they would have ideally liked to meet them. Of particular interest were the strategies parents developed and implemented in order to manage and meet their personal and support needs to achieve some sense of normality in their family lives. Parents not only have support needs specific to the challenges of accepting and raising a child with a disability but more wide ranging personal needs that for the most part are neither understood nor recognised by health professionals and service providers. Existing research has primarily examined families of children with disabilities from the perspective of health professionals. There was almost no research to guide health professionals about the involvement of parents in decisions about interventions to secure the child’s future and family viability. Much of the established research has approached issues for parents from the perspective of the child’s health and medical or rehabilitative needs, rather than meeting parents’ needs and the processes of “normalising” family function. Research has failed to consider what parents perceive they need to enable them to cope and how to support the family unit so that a diagnosis of disability does not ultimately destroy the relationships within it.

title: From hospitality classrooms to successful careers: An appraisal of Australian hospitality higher education
Creators: name: Fraser, Barry John
Publisher: name: Griffith University

Subjects: subject: Hotel management education
subject: Competencies
subject: Employability
subject: Work integrated learning

description: The higher education sector continues to struggle to ensure students’ learning outcomes are relevant to the requirements of workplaces (Bisoux, 2015; Mourshed, Farrell, & Barton, 2013; Playfoot & Hall, 2009). Moreover, hospitality education institutions particularly, continue to be criticised by employers for not meeting their employment needs (Finch, Peacock, Levallet, & Foster, 2016; Tsai, Goh, Huffman, & Wu, 2006). Therefore, it is important that hospitality education institutions begin to close the gap between the skills that students graduate with, compared to what the industry requires (Dopson & Tas, 2004; Min, Swanger, & Gursoy, 2016; Swanger & Gursoy, 2007). This thesis examines the curriculum and pedagogic requirements that contribute to beneficial graduate outcomes for Australian hotel management students. Specifically, the study seeks to identify the necessary competencies that make hotel management graduates more employable and achieve successful careers in the contemporary Australian hotel industry. Additionally, the study investigates how work integrated learning (WIL) experiences can assist graduates in obtaining the desired hotel industry competencies and further examines how WIL experiences can be best organised and enacted to enhance overall hotel management graduate outcomes. Purposefully a range of hotel managers are used as research participants, this endeavour provides for a phenomenological, employers’ and graduates’ perspective. The study adopts a mixed methods approach to data collection, which enables triangulation of various data. Conceptually, the study’s outcomes appraise, advance and potentially reposition the hotel management curriculum as embracing Australian international hotels, and enactment of students’ experiences more comprehensively. The study’s outcomes determine key currently required hospitality management competencies, and highlight these as being mostly soft skills. Furthermore, the findings identify the importance of experiential learning, and WIL in developing these essential soft skills, and thus, contributing to beneficial graduate outcomes for hotel management students. Additionally, the study potentially shapes how work integrated learning should progress in hotel management education, to the benefit of all stakeholders.

description: The predicted value of the higgs mass $m_H$ is analyzed assuming the existence of the fourth generation of leptons ($N, E$) and quarks ($U, D$). The steep and flat directions are found in the five-dimensional parameter space: $m_H$, $m_U$, $m_D$, $m_N$, $m_E$. The LEPTOP fit of the precision electroweak data is compatible (in particular) with $m_H \sim 300$ GeV, $m_N \sim 50$ GeV, $m_E \sim 100$ GeV, $m_U +m_D \sim 500$ GeV, and $|m_U -m_D| \sim 75$ GeV. The quality of fits drastically improves when the data on b- and c-quark asymmetries and new NuTeV data on deep inelastic scattering are ignored.

description: In the semiclassical approximation of Grassmann-valued electric charges for regularizing Coulomb self-energies, we extract the unique acceleration-independent interaction hidden in any Lienard-Wiechert solution for the system of N positive-energy spinning particles plus the electromagnetic field in the radiation gauge of the rest-frame instant form. With the help of a semiclassical Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation, this allows us to find the relativistic semiclassical Darwin potential. In the 2-body case the quantization of the lowest order reproduces exactly the results from the reduction of the Bethe-Salpeter equation.

description: In the recent paper [1] the classification of non-unitary representations of the three dimensional superconformal group has been constructed. From AdS/CFT they must correspond to N=1 supermultiplets containing partially massless fields in $AdS_4$. Moreover, the simplest example of such supermultiplets which contains a partially massless spin-2 was explicitly constructed. In this paper we extend this result and develop explicit Lagrangian construction of general N=1 supermultiplets containing partially massless fields with arbitrary superspin. We use the frame-like gauge invariant description of partially massless higher spin bosonic and fermionic fields. For the two types of the supermultiplets (with integer and half-integer superspins) each one containing two partially massless bosonic and two partially massless fermionic fields we derive the supertransformations leaving the sum of four their free Lagrangians invariant such that the $AdS_4$ superalgebra is closed on-shell.

description: We present stellar specific angular momentum $j_*$ measurements of two $z\sim 1.5$ galaxies in the KGES sample and 12 DYNAMO $z\sim 0.1$ analogues of high-redshift galaxies. We combine natural seeing integral field spectroscopic data to trace line emission out to high multiples of effective radius $r_e$, with adaptive optics assisted Keck/OSIRIS observations to trace the rapid rise in rotation curve in the inner regions. Our spaxel-wise integration method gives results that are on average within measurement uncertainty of the traditional rotation curve model method. At $z\sim 0$, combining GMOS and OSIRIS datasets improves the measurement uncertainty in $j_*$ from 13\% (GMOS only) or 16\% (OSIRIS only) to 10\%. At $z\sim 1.5$, systematics allow for at best 20\% uncertainty on $j_*$. DYNAMO analogues of high-$z$ galaxies have low $j_*$ for their stellar mass $M_*$, and low bulge-to-total light ratio $β$ for their $j_*/M_*$. The high-$z$ galaxy COSMOS 127977 has $j_*/M_*$ consistent with normal local disk galaxies, while UDS 78317 is consistent with local analogues. However, our high-resolution OSIRIS data reveal that UDS 78317 may be a merging system. We report a relationship between distance to the $β-j_*/M_*$ plane and the ratio of velocity dispersion to rotational velocity $σ/v_{max}$, where galaxies that deviate more from the plane are more dispersion-dominated due to turbulence. Much of the scatter in $M_*-j_*$ that is not explained by variations in the bulge-to-total ratio or evolution with redshift may be driven by increased turbulence due to star formation, or by treating mergers as rotating disks.

description: The mixing of culture in any work place brings a series of challenges; the aviation industry is no different. The major down side to these challenges is the risk to safety in an industry that prides itself on being considered one of the safest industries in the world. The issue of culture on the flight deck is of particular interest because for some time there have been negative outcomes when crews of mixed cultural backgrounds have been forced to deal with adverse situations. These situations may have many root causes but have often been far less relevant to the outcome than the cockpit dynamics at play (Kanki & Palmer, 1993). Kanki & Palmer (1993) suggest that culture plays a significant role in flight deck management. The procedures developed by aircraft manufacturers (who are predominately Anglo-European) may not be appropriate for airlines whose pilots are predominately from non-Anglo-European backgrounds. There is however little quantifiable evidence to support this line of argument. This study was performed to investigate the role that culture plays on the flight deck, in particular flight crew performance (flight deck management) as it impacts on both safety and efficiency. Previous studies have discussed flight crew performance, demonstrating the interrelated nature of technical and non-technical skills and the relationship between the flight crew skill set and operational outcomes. This study seeks to expand knowledge in the area of flight crew performance by exploring the impact of culture on procedures, training and crew interrelationships.

description: We propose a novel enhancement mechanism of the curvature perturbations in the nonminimal derivative coupling inflation model with a coupling parameter related to the inflaton field. By considering a special form of the coupling parameter as a function of the inflaton, a period of ultra-slow-roll inflation can be realized due to the gravitationally enhanced friction, and the resulting power spectrum of the curvature perturbations has a sharp peak, which is large enough to produce the primordial black holes. Under this mechanism, we can easily obtain a sharp mass spectrum of primordial black holes around specific masses such as $\mathcal{O}(10)M_\odot$, $\mathcal{O}(10^{-5})M_\odot$, and $\mathcal{O}(10^{-12})M_\odot$, which can explain the LIGO events, the ultrashort-timescale microlensing events in OGLE data, and the most of dark matter, respectively.

description: An algebraic criterion for the vanishing of the beta function for renormalizable quantum field theories is presented. Use is made of the descent equations following from the Wess-Zumino consistency condition. In some cases, these equations relate the fully quantized action to a local gauge invariant polynomial. The vanishing of the anomalous dimension of this polynomial enables us to establish a nonrenormalization theorem for the beta function $β_g$, stating that if the one-loop order contribution vanishes, then $β_g$ will vanish to all orders of perturbation theory. As a by-product, the special case in which $β_g$ is only of one-loop order, without further corrections, is also covered. The examples of the N=2,4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories are worked out in detail.

description: The primary scientific target of the CMB polarization experiments that are currently being built and proposed is the detection of primordial tensor perturbations. As a byproduct, these instruments will significantly improve constraints on cosmic birefringence, or the rotation of the CMB polarization plane. If convincingly detected, cosmic birefringence would be a dramatic manifestation of physics beyond the standard models of particle physics and cosmology. We forecast the bounds on the cosmic polarization rotation (CPR) from the upcoming ground-based Simons Observatory (SO) and the space-based LiteBIRD experiments, as well as a "fourth generation" ground-based CMB experiment like CMB-S4 and the mid-cost space mission PICO. We examine the detectability of both a stochastic anisotropic rotation field and an isotropic rotation by a constant angle. CPR induces new correlations of CMB observables, including spectra of parity-odd type in the case of isotropic CPR, and mode-coupling correlations in the anisotropic rotation case. We find that LiteBIRD and SO will reduce the 1$σ$ bound on the isotropic CPR from the current value of 30 arcmin to 1.5 and 0.6 arcmin, respectively, while CMB-S4-like and PICO will reduce it to $\sim 0.1$ arcmin. The bounds on the amplitude of a scale-invariant CPR spectrum will be reduced by 1, 2 and 3 orders of magnitude by LiteBIRD, SO and CMB-S4-like/PICO, respectively. We discuss implications of the forecasted CPR bounds for pseudoscalar fields, primordial magnetic fields (PMF), and violations of Lorentz invariance. We find that CMB-S4-like and PICO can reduce the 1$σ$ bound on the amplitude of the scale-invariant PMF from 1 nG to 0.1 nG, while also probing the magnetic field of the Milky Way. They will also significantly improve bounds on the axion-photon coupling, placing stringent constraints on the string theory axions.

description: Differentially private (DP) machine learning has recently become popular. The privacy loss of DP algorithms is commonly reported using $(\varepsilon,δ)$-DP. In this paper, we propose a numerical accountant for evaluating the privacy loss for algorithms with continuous one dimensional output. This accountant can be applied to the subsampled multidimensional Gaussian mechanism which underlies the popular DP stochastic gradient descent. The proposed method is based on a numerical approximation of an integral formula which gives the exact $(\varepsilon,δ)$-values. The approximation is carried out by discretising the integral and by evaluating discrete convolutions using the fast Fourier transform algorithm. We give both theoretical error bounds and numerical error estimates for the approximation. Experimental comparisons with state-of-the-art techniques demonstrate significant improvements in bound tightness and/or computation time. Python code for the method can be found in Github (https://github.com/DPBayes/PLD-Accountant/).

description: In 1931 Koopman and von Neumann extended previous work of Liouville and provided an operatorial version of Classical Mechanics (CM). In this talk we will review a path-integral formulation of this operatorial version of CM. In particular we will study the geometrical nature of the many auxiliary variables present and of the unexpected universal symmetries generated by the functional technique.

description: The Macrophage-Inducible C-type Lectin (Mincle) belongs to the family of C-type lectin receptors some of which have been well characterised. We investigated a role for Mincle in response to systemic candidiasis both in vivo and ex vivo. Our results show that while Mincle recognises C. albicans it is not phagocytic or candicidal. It does however, recognise this yeast as measured by reduced TNF-α production in Mincle deficient bone marrow-derived macrophages. Furthermore, there was a significant reduction in the cytokines KC, IL-1β, IL-10, IL-13, GCS-F, MIP-1β and RANTES in these cells. By using a mouse model of systemic infection, we were able to investigate levels of yeast fungal burden and tissue damage inMincle-/- and isogenic control mice. Mincle deficient mice were more susceptible to C. albicans infection, demonstrated by increased fungal burden and increased tissue damage in the kidney and brain of our knock-out mice, confirming a role for Mincle in control of C. albicans infection. Mincle shares some features in common with the β-glucan receptor (Dectin-1) and its close relative Dectin-2. Dectin-1 and Dectin-2 have both been shown to recognise the yeast Candida albicans. We therefore, went on to look at the RNA and protein expression profiles of these three C-type lectins and found Mincle was consistently upregulated in response to Candida in the brain, kidney, lung and spleen. Dectin-1 showed delayed induction and Dectin-2 was significantly up-regulated in all tissues in the absence of Mincle.

description: Phosphorylcholine (ChoP) is a ubiquitous biomolecule found in various organisms including the platelet-activating factor (PAF) in the mammalian hosts and the surface structures of commensal and pathogenic bacteria such as lipooligosaccharide/lipopolysaccharide (LOS/LPS) and pili. The presence of ChoP on these structures could facilitate bacterial-host interactions through the mimicry mechanism. ChoP has been shown to promote bacterial colonisation by binding to the platelet-activating factor receptor and is essential for pathogenesis. Furthermore, the antigenic activity and immunomodulatory properties of ChoP demonstrate that its significance as a small zwitterionic molecule. The human-adapted bacterial pathogen, Neisseria meningitidis, is the causative agent of meningococcal septicaemia and meningitis. Pili-ChoP modification is one of the most important virulence factors of N. meningitidis and is required for early colonisation of human airway epithelium by mediating adhesion to the platelet-activating factor receptor. Unlike bacteria that contain ChoP-linked glycoconjugates, N. meningitidis does not have the previously identified LOS/LPS core (Lic-1) ChoP biosynthetic pathways. Thus, the pathway(s) required for ChoP biosynthesis prior to post-translational modification are unknown. In this thesis, we aimed to characterize the ChoP biosynthetic pathway in N. meningitidis.

title: Relationship Between Parent Involvement and the Academic Achievement of Disadvantaged Children: What Matters? For Whom Does it Matter? How Does it Work?
Creators: name: Batchelor, Samantha

Subjects: subject: Educational outcomes
subject: Disadvantaged students
subject: Parent-child involvement

description: Students growing up in socially disadvantaged environments typically experience poorer educational outcomes than students living in more advantaged circumstances. Strengthening parents’ involvement in their children’s learning is widely regarded as an important way of helping to reduce the achievement gap between disadvantaged students and their more affluent peers, but unfortunately policy interest in parent involvement has outpaced evidence of its effectiveness as an intervention strategy. A fundamental problem is the conceptual inconsistency, ambiguity and confusion in the literature on parent involvement. This confusion is exacerbated by the inherent complexity of the processes through which various forms of parent involvement are likely to have their effects on different aspects of children’s learning. In addition, factors such as family socio-economic status and ethnic background are expected to act as moderators of these already complex relationships. Hence, it is impossible to synthesise existing results and draw firm conclusions as to which aspects of parent involvement might be effective targets for intervention in disadvantaged communities. In other words, we still need to know, “What matters? And for whom does it matter?”
Nonlinear Dirichlet problems with unilateral growth on the reaction

description: We consider a nonlinear Dirichlet problem driven by the $p$-Laplace differential operator with a reaction which has a subcritical growth restriction only from above. We prove two multiplicity theorems producing three nontrivial solutions, two of constant sign and the third nodal. The two multiplicity theorems differ on the geometry near the origin. In the semilinear case (that is, $p=2$), using Morse theory (critical groups), we produce a second nodal solution for a total of four nontrivial solutions. As an illustration, we show that our results incorporate and significantly extend the multiplicity results existing for a class of parametric, coercive Dirichlet problems.

Alternative to Domain Wall Fermions

Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)

description: An alternative to commonly used domain wall fermions is presented. Some rigorous bounds on the condition number of the associated linear problem are derived. On the basis of these bounds and some experimentation it is argued that domain wall fermions will in general be associated with a condition number that is of the same order of magnitude as the {\it product} of the condition number of the linear problem in the physical dimensions by the inverse bare quark mass. Thus, the computational cost of implementing true domain wall fermions using a single conjugate gradient algorithm is of the same order of magnitude as that of implementing the overlap Dirac operator directly using two nested conjugate gradient algorithms. At a cost of about a factor of two in operation count it is possible to make the memory usage of direct implementations of the overlap Dirac operator independent of the accuracy of the approximation to the sign function and of the same order as that of standard Wilson fermions.

description: The squared mass of a complex scalar field is turned dynamically into negative by its O(2)-invariant coupling to a real field slowly rolling down in a quadratic potential. The emergence of gapless excitations is studied in real time simulations after spinodal instability occurs. Careful tests demonstrate that the Goldstone modes appear almost instantly after the symmetry breaking is over, much before thermal equilibrium is established.

description: The Weyl anomaly in the Holographic Renormalisation Group as implemented using Hamilton-Jacobi language is studied in detail. We investigate the breakdown of the descent equations in order to isolate the Weyl anomaly of the dual field theory close to the (UV) fixed point. We use the freedom of adding finite terms to the renormalised effective action in order to bring the anomalies in the expected form. We comment on different ways of describing the bare and renormalised schemes, and on possible interpretations of the descent equations as describing the renormalisation group flow non-perturbatively. We find that under suitable assumptions these relations may lead to a class of c-functions.
