description: We not only reproduce burst of short-wavelength spin waves (SWs) observed in recent experiment [S. Woo et al., Nat. Phys. 13, 448 (2017)] on magnetic-field-driven annihilation of two magnetic domain walls (DWs) but, furthermore, we predict that this setup additionally generates highly unusual} pumping of electronic spin currents in the absence of any bias voltage. Prior to the instant of annihilation, their power spectrum is ultrabroadband, so they can be converted into rapidly changing in time charge currents, via the inverse spin Hall effect, as a source of THz radiation of bandwidth $\simeq 27$ THz where the lowest frequency is controlled by the applied magnetic field. The spin pumping stems from time-dependent fields introduced into the quantum Hamiltonian of electrons by the classical dynamics of localized magnetic moments (LMMs) comprising the domains. The pumped currents carry spin-polarized electrons which, in turn, exert backaction on LMMs in the form of nonlocal damping which is more than twice as large as conventional local Gilbert damping. The nonlocal damping can substantially modify the spectrum of emitted SWs when compared to widely-used micromagnetic simulations where conduction electrons are completely absent. Since we use fully microscopic (i.e., Hamiltonian-based) framework, self-consistently combining time-dependent electronic nonequilibrium Green functions with the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation, we also demonstrate that previously derived phenomenological formulas miss ultrabroadband spin pumping while underestimating the magnitude of nonlocal damping due to nonequilibrium electrons.

description: USDA’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides food and nutrition benefits to low-income households based on a formula that adjusts the benefit amount a household receives based on monthly need. This study assesses the extent to which SNAP reaches the poorest households, also known as benefit targeting, by estimating benefit receipt by annual household income relative to poverty. To conduct this analysis, ERS linked 2008-12 SNAP administrative records from New York State to data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS), a primary source for national, State, and local information on the use of SNAP and other public assistance programs. The linked data provide better information on SNAP receipt than that which would be estimated by the ACS alone and permit a more complete characterization of SNAP targeting. Study findings show that the assessment of SNAP targeting varies by the three measures of benefit receipt examined. Estimates of SNAP targeting toward low-income households improve when using either of two measures of intensity of SNAP participation relative to measures of ever-in-the-year participation. Replacing survey-based data on SNAP benefit receipt with administrative records of SNAP benefit receipt and adjusting the survey households to more closely reflect administrative SNAP units also improves estimates of targeting to low-income participants. Finally, estimated program targeting is improved by removing sample households that do not report income and for which income is imputed in the survey from the analysis.

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of streaming and non-streaming on the personality, and social and intellectual development of junior school pupils. The data are held under nine separate study numbers; one for each of the eight surveys and one for the merged file. The study covers a four-year period. In the first year, 1964 (Surveys SN:008 and SN:009), a cross-sectional study of 84 schools, 42 matched pairs of streamed and non-streamed schools, was made. In the succeeding three years, this number was reduced as schools dropped out due to changes in organisation or to reductions in numbers of pupils or staff. In the end, only schools that had completed the full research programme were considered in the longitudinal study, that is, data from 72 schools or 36 matched pairs. The longitudinal study was concerned, therefore, with those children who were in their first year in 1964 and who remained in the school throughout the whole of the junior course - 5521 pupils in all. The data are of two main types, those concerned with pupils and those concerned with teachers. SN:261 is a merged file of datasets for pupils (SN:007, SN:008, SN:010, SN:012).

Coherence Equality and Communication in a Quantum Superposition

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, we introduce a "coherence equality" that is satisfied by any classical communication -- i.e., conveyed by a localized carrier traveling along well defined directions. In contrast, this equality is violated when the carrier is prepared in a quantum superposition of communication directions. This is phrased in terms of the success probability of a certain communication task, which results to be always constant and equal to 1/2 in the classical case. On the other hand, we develop two simple quantum schemes that deviate systematically from the classical value, thus violating the coherence equality. Such a violation can also be exploited as an operational way to witness spatial quantum superpositions without requiring the use of an interferometer, but only by means of spatially separated local measurements.

description: We model a bipartite network in which links connect agents with public goods. Agents play a voluntary contribution game in which they decide how much to contribute to each public good they are connected to. We show that the problem of finding a Nash equilibrium can be posed as a non-linear complementarity one. The existence of an equilibrium point is established for a wide class of individual preferences. We then find a simple sufficient condition, on network structure only, that guarantees the uniqueness of the equilibria, and provide an easy procedure for building networks that respects this condition.

description: We review the characteristics of nucleosynthesis and radioactivities in 'Hypernovae', i.e., supernovae with very large explosion energies ($ \gsim 10^{52} $ ergs) and their $γ$-ray line signatures. We also discuss the $^{44}$Ti line $γ$-rays from SN1987A and the detectability with INTEGRAL. Signatures of hypernova nucleosynthesis are seen in the large [(Ti, Zn)/Fe] ratios in very metal poor stars. Radioactivities in hypernovae compared to those of ordinary core-collapse supernovae show the following characteristics: 1) The complete Si burning region is more extended, so that the ejected mass of $^{56}$Ni can be much larger. 2) Si-burning takes place in higher entropy and more $α$-rich environment. Thus the $^{44}$Ti abundance relative to $^{56}$Ni is much larger. In aspherical explosions, $^{44}$Ti is even more abundant and ejected with velocities as high as $\sim$ 15,000 km s$^{-1}$, which could be observed in $γ$-ray line profiles. 3) The abundance of $^{26}$Al is not so sensitive to the explosion energy, while the $^{60}$Fe abundance is enhanced by a factor of $\sim$ 3.

description: Based on the scheme of variational Monte Carlo sampling, we develop an accurate and efficient two-dimensional tensor-network algorithm to simulate quantum lattice models. We find that Monte Carlo sampling shows huge advantages in dealing with finite projected entangled pair states, which allows significantly enlarged system size and improves the accuracy of tensor network simulation. We demonstrate our method on the square-lattice antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model up to $32 \times 32$ sites, as well as a highly frustrated $J_1-J_2$ model up to $24\times 24$ sites. The results, including ground state energy and spin correlations, are in excellent agreement with those of the available quantum Monte Carlo or density matrix renormalization group methods. Therefore, our method substantially advances the calculation of 2D tensor networks for finite systems, and potentially opens a new door towards resolving many challenging strongly correlated quantum many-body problems.

description: Consider a sphere of radius root(n) in n dimensions, and consider X, a random variable uniformly distributed on its surface. Poincare's Observation states that for large n, the distribution of the first k coordinates of X is close in total variation distance to the standard normal N(0,I_k). In this paper, we consider a larger family of manifolds, and X taking a more general distribution on the surfaces. We establish a bound in the stronger Kullback--Leibler sense of relative entropy, and discuss its sharpness, providing a necessary condition for convergence in this sense. We show how our results imply the equivalence of ensembles for a wider class of test functions than is standard. We also deduce results of de Finetti type, concerning a generalisation of the idea of orthogonal invariance.

description: We solve the problem of formulating Brownian motion in a relativistically covariant framework in 1+1 and 3+1 dimensions. We obtain covariant Fokker-Planck equations with (for the isotropic case) a differential operator of invariant d'Alembert form. Treating the spacelike and timelike fluctuations separately, we show that it is essential to take into account the analytic continuation of "unphysical" fluctuations in order to achieve these results.

description: Continuum models for time-reversal (TR) invariant topological insulators (TIs) in $d \geq 3$ dimensions are provided by harmonic oscillators coupled to certain $SO(d)$ gauge fields. These models are equivalent to the presence of spin-orbit (SO) interaction in the oscillator Hamiltonians at a critical coupling strength (equivalent to the harmonic oscillator frequency) and leads to flat Landau Level (LL) spectra and therefore to infinite degeneracy of either the positive or the negative helicity states depending on the sign of the SO coupling. Generalizing the results of Haaker et al. to $d \geq 4$, we construct vector operators commuting with these Hamiltonians and show that $SO(d,2)$ emerges as the non-compact extended dynamical symmetry. Focusing on the model in four dimensions, we demonstrate that the infinite degeneracy of the flat spectra can be fully explained in terms of the discrete unitary representations of $SO(4,2)$, i.e. the {\it doubletons}. The degeneracy in the opposite helicity branch is finite, but can still be explained exploiting the complex conjugate {\it doubleton} representations. Subsequently, the analysis is generalized to $d$ dimensions, distinguishing the cases of odd and even $d$. We also determine the spectrum generating algebra in these models and briefly comment on the algebraic organization of the LL states w.r.t to an underlying "deformed" AdS geometry as well as on the organization of the surface states under open boundary conditions in view of our results.

description: A basic test of a labour law regime is the enforcement of minimum wage and other entitlements. This paper is concerned with the recovery of underpayments especially recovery of ‘small’ amounts by workers who are vulnerable in the marketplace. We gauge levels and quality of access to the legal information and advice which is necessary for workers to determine their legal entitlements. We also assess the level of services accessible to workers when they need assistance to pursue an underpayment claim within the mainstream civil justice system. In the context of the broader workplace relations reforms which are proposed within the federal sphere, we welcome the expansion of the enforcement agency, to be renamed the Offi ce of the Fair Work Ombudsman, but argue in favour of retaining the existing support services.

description: In this study, we investigated the academic literature on quantum technologies (QT) using bibliometric tools. We used a set of 49,823 articles obtained from the Web of Science (WoS) database using a search query constructed through expert opinion. Analysis of this revealed that QT is deeply rooted in physics, and the majority of the articles are published in physics journals. Keyword analysis revealed that the literature could be clustered into three distinct sets, which are (i) quantum communication/cryptography, (ii) quantum computation, and (iii) physical realizations of quantum systems. We performed a burst analysis that showed the emergence and fading away of certain key concepts in the literature. This is followed by co-citation analysis on the highly cited articles provided by the WoS, using these we devised a set of core corpus of 34 publications. Comparing the most highly cited articles in this set with respect to the initial set we found that there is a clear difference in most cited subjects. Finally, we performed co-citation analyses on country and organization levels to find the central nodes in the literature. Overall, the analyses of the datasets allowed us to cluster the literature into three distinct sets, construct the core corpus of the academic literature in QT, and to identify the key players on country and organization levels, thus offering insight into the current state of the field. Search queries and access to figures are provided in the appendix.

description: In 2006, the Australian Association of National Advertisers implemented the self-regulatory Food and Beverages Advertising and Marketing Communications Code in response to public concern about the infl uence of ‘ junk food’ advertising on children’s obesity levels and pressure for more restrictive regulation of this advertising. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the effi cacy of the Code and the capacity of self-regulation to protect children’s interests in relation to food advertising. The article analyses the Code with regard to characteristics and conditions considered necessary for, or typical of, effective self-regulation. The article identifi es a number of defi ciencies in the Code and self-regulatory scheme, and concludes that self-regulation is unsuitable for protecting children from harmful effects of food advertising, due mainly to advertisers’ overriding commercial interest in using advertising practices that are effective for encouraging children to consume unhealthy food.

description: Young drivers have higher motor vehicle crash rates compared to other drivers, and understanding the reasons for this would help to improve safety. This study, therefore, investigated characteristics and contributory causes of young-driver crashes and developed multinomial logit models to identify severity affecting factors. It was found that teen drivers were more likely to be involved in crashes due to failure to give time and attention and falling asleep. Among other factors, alcohol involvement, not wearing a seat belt, driving without a valid license, having restrictions on driver’s license, and involvement in off-roadway crashes were factors that increased young-driver injury severity. Based on identified factors, countermeasure ideas for improving safety have also been suggested.

description: In 2003, amid the turmoil of the U.S. airline industry in the post-9/11 environment, the senior management of the Alaska Air Group announced a “strategic vision” entitled “Alaska 2010.” The pronouncement articulated positions with regard to cost leadership, product differentiation, and growth. This study empirically assesses the efficacy of this decision with regard to the major network carrier of the air group, Alaska Airlines. The analysis focuses on the period beginning with the announcement and ending in 2010. The implementation of such a strategic protocol is dynamic and inter-temporal in nature. Therefore, it is often difficult to assess the effectiveness of changes in strategies, particularly since such effectiveness is often a function of the confounding forces of organizational strategy and market conditions. Thus, this study utilizes the multi-period methodology of the strategic variance analysis of operating income. This methodology decomposes operating income into three components: (1) growth, (2) price recovery, and (3) productivity. This is of particular interest from a strategic planning perspective, as the price component evaluates a company’s product differentiation strategy while the productivity component evaluates whether an airline’s low cost strategy was successful because of efficiency gains.

description: Within the framework of the internal shock model, we study the luminosity and the variability in gamma-ray bursts from collimated fireballs. In particular we pay attention to the role of the photosphere due to $e^\pm$ pairs produced by internal shock synchrotron photons. It is shown that the observed Cepheid-like relationship between the luminosity and the variability can be interpreted as a correlation between the opening angle of the fireball jet and the mass included at the explosion with a standard energy output. We also show that such a correlation can be a natural consequence of the collapsar model. Using a multiple-shell model, we numerically calculate the temporal profiles of gamma-ray bursts. Collimated jets, in which the typical Lorentz factors are higher than in wide jets, can produce more variable temporal profiles due to smaller angular spreading time scales at the photosphere radius. Our simulations quantitatively reproduce the observed correlation.

Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays: Strangelets? -- Extra dimensions, TeV-scale black holes and strange matter

description: The conjecture that ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are actually strangelets is discussed. Besides the reason that strangelets can do as cosmic rays beyond the GZK-cutoff, another argument to support the conjecture is addressed in this letter via the study of formation of TeV-scale microscopic black holes when UHECRs bombarding bare strange stars. It is proposed that the exotic quark surface of a bare strange star could be an effective astro-laboratory in the investigations of the extra dimensions and of the detection of ultra-high energy neutrino fluxes. The flux of neutrinos (and other point-like particles) with energy >2.3 x 10^{20} eV could be expected to be smaller than 10^{-26} cm^{-2}$ s^{-1} if there are two extra spatial dimensions.

description: Using three common methodologies for measuring airport efficiency, namely the productivity index method, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method, and stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) method, this study examines the efficiency performances of 62 Canadian and U.S. airports. Unlike most previous studies, this study includes aeronautical and non-aeronautical outputs of airports as they are inexplicably tied to each other in airport production. The empirical results reveal that the efficiency scores and rankings measured by these alternative methods are quite similar to each other in the top 15 and bottom 15 ranked airports, whereas considerable differences exist among the airports in the middle range. We also found that the percentage of non-aeronautical revenue, passenger volume, average aircraft size, percentages of international and connecting traffic significantly affect our airport efficiency estimates in all of the three alternative approaches used.
Keeping it in the Neighbourhood? Neighbourhood Courts in the Australian Context

Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: The first Neighbourhood Justice Centre has recently been set up in Australia and forms part of a worldwide neighbourhood justice movement which focuses upon local justice solutions. These models are based around community courts operating as part of broader justice initiatives which reposition the relationship between the community and the justice system. This article explores the drivers of neighbourhood court solutions and systemic issues which may impact upon the success of these community court models.

description: We study dynamical mass generation in QED in (2+1) dimensions using Hamiltonian lattice methods. We use staggered fermions, and perform simulations with explicit dynamical fermions in the chiral limit. We demonstrate that a recently developed method to reduce the fermion sign problem can successfully be applied to this problem. Our results are in agreement with both the strong coupling expansion and with Euclidean lattice simulations.

description: Цель исследования — выявление структурно-смысловой содержательности образа Татьяны Марковны Бережковой в художественном мире романа Гончарова «Обрыв». Научная новизна исследования связана с расширением типологических характеристик системы образов в романе Гончарова. В результате определены основные смысловые грани образа бабушки Татьяны Марковны, включающие в себя две содержательные линии: внешнюю и внутреннюю. Во внешней содержательности отражается социально-бытовая характеристика провинциальной жизни России, традиционный быт и нравы. Во внутренней содержательности образ бабушки отражает смысловую доминанту повествования: народную мудрость, внутреннюю силу, связанную с традиционной ценностной парадигмой. Динамика образа бабушки дана в личностном восприятии главного героя — Райского, что определяет ее роль как идейно-композиционного центра романа и своеобразного мерила прекрасного и нравственного.

description: This research explores the association between fatigue-induced crash risk, transit operator hours of service and fatigue management policies in the state of Florida. Data used in this study include incident data archived by transit agencies and bus driver schedules. The results show a decreasing trend of collision risks when drivers start their schedules late morning or afternoon compared with early morning. The effect of time on task shows increasing collision risk as drivers drive long hours without enough off duty periods.

description: La République Démocratique du Congo regorge des ressources hydriques tant de surface que souterraine immense. La question de l’accès à l’eau potable dans les milieux ruraux reste le problème central de la vie quotidienne des populations qui n’ont que les eaux de surfaces comme source d’approvisionnement. La présente étude intitulée : Analyse des paramètres physico-chimiques

 

et bactériologiques des eaux de surfaces et souterraines consommées par la population de Matende a pour objectif global d’analyser le degré de potabilité des eaux utilisées par les ruraux de cette partie du secteur Lukamba. L’approche méthodologique utilisée pour atteindre cet objectif était basée sur l’analyse des échantillons d’eau prélevés dans les rivières Luvushi, Lubwe, Saint André, Sawula et des forages des abbés et de dispensaire des sœurs et acheminés au laboratoire pour détecter les concentrations des paramètres physico-chimiques et microbiologiques contenus dans ces eaux afin de les comparer aux normes de potabilité de l’OMS. Les résultats obtenus ont montré que la contrée de Matende connait un sérieux problème d’eau potable par le fait que la qualité de l’eau de rivière et  forage n’est conforme aux normes de l’OMS. Les causes sont la nature de la roche qui le contient, la mauvaise utilisation de l’eau par les riverains et le manque de la notion d’hygiène aux gestionnaires des forages.

description: Metropolitan toll roads are a popular source of non-traditional funded highway investment, targeting automobile users. Toll rates have been traditionally derived from traffic and revenue (T&R) studies, which appear unable to accurately estimate truck demand even when a toll road offers an alternative route segment to interstate trucking. This paper examines the current failure of Texas toll road SH-130 to attract truckers from IH-35 in Austin, one of the most congested Texas corridors. CT-VCOST, a comprehensive vehicle operating cost toolkit, was used to calculate truck operating costs on both highways to investigate why few truckers are using the toll facility and whether the decision is based on toll rates or other factors.
Implied Fetters on the Exercise of Discretionary Contractual Powers

Publisher: name: Monash University

Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: Long-term commercial contracts commonly grant one of the parties a discretionary power to vary the contract in particular respects. In Australia, the exercise of discretionary contractual powers may be fettered by a general duty of good faith in contract performance. In England, the exercise of discretionary contractual powers may be fettered by a number of more specifi c implied duties. This paper considers the content of these duties. The paper argues that the substance of the duty of good faith implied by Australian courts is similar to the specifi c duties implied in England. It argues that the duties need not be unduly disruptive to commercial certainty or party autonomy. In fettering the exercise of discretionary contractual powers, courts have drawn on principles governing the judicial review of administrative action, namely requirements that a discretionary power should not be exercised for an ‘extraneous’ purpose or unreasonably. Moreover, Australian courts have repeatedly recognised that the implied duties fettering the exercise of discretionary contractual powers will not prevent parties from acting to preserve their legitimate interests. Courts have also been cautious in applying the duties to fetter the exercise of contractual powers to terminate.
