description: In the BMN approach to N=4 SYM a large class of correlators of interest are expressible in terms of expectation values of traces of words in a zero-dimensional Gaussian complex matrix model. We develop a loop-equation based, analytic strategy for evaluating such expectation values to any order in the genus expansion. We reproduce the expectation values which were needed for the calculation of the one-loop, genus one correction to the anomalous dimension of BMN-operators and which were earlier obtained by combinatorial means. Furthermore, we present the expectation values needed for the calculation of the one-loop, genus two correction.

description: We analyze a model in which a government uses a second best policy to affect the reallocation of labor, following a change in relative prices. We consider two extreme cases, in which the government has either unlimited or negligible ability to commit to future actions. We explain why the ability to make commitments may be unimportant, and we illustrate this conjecture with numerical examples. For either assumption about commitment ability, the equilibrium policy involves gradual liberalization. The dying sector is protected during the transition to a free market, in order to decrease the amount of unemployment. Our results are sensitive to the assumptions about migration.
Is Intentionalist Theory Indispensable to Statutory Interpretation?
Creators: name: Blaker, Jamie
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: The theory of intentionalism holds that the laws of statutes are determined by the enacting legislators’ subjective law-making intentions. The High Court has recently rejected the theory of intentionalism and, as such, has attracted criticisms from some of the theory’s most eminent proponents. One of these criticisms contends that, over the course of the 19th and 20th centuries, the truth of intentionalist theory formed a fundamental assumption upon which the existing framework of interpretive principles was constructed. As such, the criticism continues, the Court’s rejection of intentionalism today risks, at first, the loss of our ability to justify the existing framework of interpretive principles and, then inevitably, the collapse of that framework. In this article, I will attempt to defend the High Court’s position against this criticism. I will firstly argue that the criticism rests upon a false assumption: the assumption that Australia’s tradition of referring to ‘legislative intentions’ can be equated to a tradition of accepting intentionalist theory. I will secondly argue that the established methods of interpretation are able to be adequately accommodated and justified by a non-intentionalist theory, namely textualism, a theory that the High Court has adopted in all but name. The article concludes with reflections on the constitutional underpinnings of the Court’s interpretive approach, as described in Zheng v Cai.

description: This study develops a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to examine the impact of recent defense cuts on California's economy. The study demonstrates use of a CGE model to examine the sensitivity of regional economy models to assumptions about factor migration. The results show that California is indeed sensitive to defense cuts, but that the perceptions of workers and producers about the permanency of the cuts and about other future opportunities in the state economy significantly affect gross state product (GSP) multipliers. Depending on how these perceptions affect factor migration, GSP multipliers can be expected to range from 1 to almost 5.

description: We study solutions of the Newtonian $n$-body problem which tend to infinity hyperbolically, that is, all mutual distances tend to infinity with nonzero speed as $t \rightarrow +\infty$ or as $t \rightarrow -\infty$. In suitable coordinates, such solutions form the stable or unstable manifolds of normally hyperbolic equilibrium points in a boundary manifold "at infinity". We show that the flow near these manifolds can be analytically linearized and use this to give a new proof of Chazy's classical asymptotic formulas. We also address the scattering problem, namely, for solutions which are hyperbolic in both forward and backward time, how are the limiting equilibrium points related? After proving some basic theorems about this scattering relation, we use perturbations of our manifold at infinity to study scattering "near infinity", that is, when the bodies stay far apart and interact only weakly.

description: We present the first results of the analysis of data collected during the 1998-99 observational campaign at the 1.3 meter McGraw-Hill Telescope, towards the Andromeda galaxy (M31), aimed to the detection of gravitational microlensing effects as a probe of the presence of dark matter in our and in M31 halo. The analysis is performed using the pixel lensing technique, which consists in the study of flux variations of unresolved sources and has been proposed and implemented by the AGAPE collaboration. We carry out a shape analysis by demanding that the detected flux variations be achromatic and compatible with a Paczynski light curve. We apply the Durbin-Watson hypothesis test to the residuals. Furthermore, we consider the background of variables sources. Finally five candidate microlensing events emerge from our selection. Comparing with the predictions of a Monte Carlo simulation, assuming a standard spherical model for the M31 and Galactic haloes, and typical values for the MACHO mass, we find that our events are only marginally consistent with the distribution of observable parameters predicted by the simulation.

description:
Accumulating evidence has been found for the associations from sexual minority stressors to intimate partner violence (IPV) among same-sex couples. Yet key gaps still exist, including the rare utilization of couple dyadic data, the understudied moderating and mediating mechanisms, and the few studies conducted during the transitional period of same-sex marriage legalization. To address these gaps, we used cross-sectional, dyadic data collected from 144 US same-sex couples during the 2014–2015 national campaign for the legalization of same-sex marriage. Guided by the systemic transactional model (STM), we examined associations from sexual minority stressors (including both internalized homophobia and discrimination) to same-sex IPV and tested whether commitment moderated or mediated these associations. Overall, we found evidence supporting the STM: (1) High internalized homophobia and discrimination were related to high prevalence and/or frequency of IPV perpetration; (2) high commitment attenuated positive associations between high discrimination and high prevalence and/or frequency of IPV perpetration; and (3) high internalized homophobia was related to low commitment, which in turn was related to high prevalence and/or frequency of IPV perpetration. Collectively, our study identified commitment as both a moderator and mediator in associations from sexual minority stressors to same-sex IPV. Further, the roles of commitment (i.e., moderator or mediator) depend on whether the focal sexual minority stressors are distal and more intermittent (i.e., heterosexist discrimination) or proximal and more constant (i.e., internalized homophobia).
Abolishing the Curious Sentencing Anomaly Between the Voluntary Disclosure of One’s Own Offending and Assisting Authorities with the Offending of Others

Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: Offenders who help authorities by providing information that can assist the investigation or prosecution of another person are accorded the most substantial sentencing discount in our system of law. The key reason for this is the utilitarian benefit associated with apprehending and prosecuting criminals. Offenders who voluntarily disclose their own crimes also normally receive a sentencing discount. However, the size of the discount is not quantified and in most instances seems to be less than the penalty reduction for assisting authorities with the crimes of others. From a normative perspective, voluntary disclosure of one’s own offending is at least as commendable as providing information about the crimes of others. Moreover, in most instances voluntary disclosure of one’s own crime or crimes confers greater benefits than does the provision of information about the crimes of others. Voluntary disclosure, for example, is more likely to save the state the expense of a trial. In this article, I argue that sentencing law should be reformed so that offenders who self-report their crimes receive a discount at least equal to (and in some instances greater than) off enders who provide information about the crimes of others. I also argue that this discount should be precisely quantified.

We show that this tensor vanishes precisely when the structure is locally isomorphic to a standard projective special Kähler structure on $\mathrm{SU}(n,1)/\mathrm{S}(\mathrm{U}(n)\mathrm{U}(1))$. We use this characterisation to classify 4-dimensional projective special Kähler Lie groups.

description: Widespread concerns about cholesterol have resulted in lowering consumers' egg consumption. Children one to five years of age consume more eggs if their mother/caretakers eat more eggs, and they consume fewer eggs if their mother/caretakers have higher levels of education or if the children attend a child-care facility serving meals. Older children eat fewer eggs than younger children. Mother/caretakers' egg consumption is negatively affected by income levels and educational levels and positively affected by being non-Caucasian. Children's egg consumption is less responsive to factors that increase egg consumption than are adults' intakes. Children's mean cholesterol intake levels are higher than recommended levels for non-Caucasians, as opposed to Caucasians, and for all of those in low-income groups—the same groups whose egg consumption is highest when compared with those of other groups. The study's results indicate that there is a clear unmet need for nutrition education for mother/caretakers (and notably for Food Stamp Program participants), who are in lower-income and frequently less-educated groups and who, under the existing programs, receive very little or no education focused on healthful nutrition for young children. WIC is an appropriate vehicle for lessening cholesterol intake of young children in the highest-risk cordons for succumbing to premature arteriosclerosis.

description: In this paper we present an algorithm for yield estimation and optimization exploiting Hessian based optimization methods, an adaptive Monte Carlo (MC) strategy, polynomial surrogates and several error indicators. Yield estimation is used to quantify the impact of uncertainty in a manufacturing process. Since computational efficiency is one main issue in uncertainty quantification, we propose a hybrid method, where a large part of a MC sample is evaluated with a surrogate model, and only a small subset of the sample is re-evaluated with a high fidelity finite element model. In order to determine this critical fraction of the sample, an adjoint error indicator is used for both the surrogate error and the finite element error. For yield optimization we propose an adaptive Newton-MC method. We reduce computational effort and control the MC error by adaptively increasing the sample size. The proposed method minimizes the impact of uncertainty by optimizing the yield. It allows to control the finite element error, surrogate error and MC error. At the same time it is much more efficient than standard MC approaches combined with standard Newton algorithms.

(Grossly) Disproportionate Sentences: Can Charters of Rights Make a Difference?

Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: A comparison between United Kingdom (UK) and Australian law concerning grossly disproportionate sentences indicates that human rights charters and/or other strong human rights guarantees in a jurisdiction can produce improved protections for offenders against penal populism. While the relevant Australian case law suggests that there are virtually no restrictions on the state’s ability to enact mandatory sentencing laws in those jurisdictions without a charter of rights, the UK and Strasbourg courts have now made it clear that grossly disproportionate sentences cannot be imposed compatibly with art 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights (‘ECH R’), and that mandatory sentencing schemes are particularly likely to produce breaches of that article. When further developing the law in this area, the UK courts and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) should learn from the relevant North American jurisprudence, avoiding the excessively deferential approach evident in many of those authorities and embracing the Canadian Supreme Court’s more interventionist stance recently in The Queen and Attorney General of Canada v Nur and Charles (‘Nur’). In turn, Nur provides further evidence that, when they are armed with a charter of rights, the courts can make a difference if they are courageous enough to do so.

description: We have obtained long-slit far-ultraviolet (1150--1730 A) spectra of the R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars V854 Cen and RY Sgr, near maximum light and pulsational phase zero, with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) on Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The far-UV spectrum of each star shows a photospheric continuum rising steeply toward longer wavelengths, and a prominent emission feature at C II 1335. RY Sgr displays a second, but fainter, emission attributed to Cl I 1351 (which is radiatively fluoresced by C II 1335), but Cl I is weak or absent in V854 Cen. Most surprisingly, the C II emission of V854 Cen is significantly extended along the slit by +/- 2.5 arcsec, about 6 x 10^3 AU at the distance of the star. The C II feature of RY Sgr exhibits no such gross extension. Nevertheless, subtle broadenings of the C II emissions beyond the point response profile suggests inner clouds of radius \~0.1 arcsec (250 AU) around both stars. V854 Cen is only the third RCB star after R CrB and UW Cen known to have a resolved shell.

Evidence of Intoxication in Australian Criminal Courts: A Complex Variable with Multiple Effects

Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: This article reports on the second stage of a national study of how the effects of alcohol and other drugs are treated by criminal laws and the criminal justice system. Based on a mixed methods analysis of more than 300 appellate court decisions from all Australian jurisdictions handed down in the period 2010–2014, we identify the multiple points at which legal significance is attached to evidence that the accused, the victim or a witness was ‘intoxicated’ at the time of the alleged commission of a criminal offence. Focusing on the rules and principles endorsed by appellate courts in relation to four key ‘sites’ of criminal justice decision-making — the admissibility of police interviews, the credibility and reliability of witness testimony, adjudication on the criminal responsibility of the accused, and determination of sentence for convicted offenders — we show that the impact of intoxication on the enforcement of the criminal law is complex. There is no single characterisation that can account for the multiple points at which intoxication may need to be assessed, and the divergent ways in which it can impact on adjudication. Depending on a range of site-specific and case-specific considerations, intoxication evidence may expand/contract the parameters of criminal responsibility, and it may yield higher or lower criminal penalties.

description: The Markov chain model (MCM) has become a popular tool in the agricultural economics literature to describe how farms experience structural change and to study the impact of various drivers of this process, including public support. Even though some studies have accounted for heterogeneity across farms by letting transition probabilities depend on co- variates depicting farms and/or farmers' characteristics, only observed heterogeneity has been considered so far. Assuming that structural change may also relate to unobserved farms and/or farmers' characteristics, we present how to implement the mover-stayer model (MSM) which considers a mixture of two types of farms, the `stayers' who always remain in their initial size category and the `movers' who follow a first-order Markovian process, and how to estimate it thanks to the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. This modeling framework relaxes the assumption of homogeneity in the transition process which grounds the usual MCM. An empirical application to a panel of French farms over 2000-2013 shows that the MSM outperforms the MCM in recovering the underlying year-to-year transition process as well as in deriving the long-run transition matrix and forecasting future farm size distributions.

description: The paper reports on the dynamics of a 3-dimensional dusty plasma in a strong magnetic field. An electrostatic potential well created by a conducting or non-conducting ring in the rf discharge confines the charged dust particles. In the absence of the magnetic field, dust grains exhibit a thermal motion about their equilibrium position. As the magnetic field crosses a threshold value (B $>$ 0.02 T), the edge particles start to rotate and form a vortex in the vertical plane. At the same time, the central region particles either exhibit thermal motion or $\vec{E} \times \vec{B}$ motion in the horizontal plane. At B $>$ 0.15 T, the central region dust grains start to rotate in the opposite direction resulting in a pair of counter-rotating vortices in the vertical plane. The characteristics of the vortex pair change with increasing the strength of the magnetic field (B $\sim$ 0.8 T). At B $>$ 0.8 T, dust grains exhibit very complex motion in the rotating torus. The angular frequency variation of rotating particles indicates a differential or sheared dust rotation in a vortex. The angular frequency increases with increasing the magnetic field from 0.05 T to 0.8 T. The ion drag force and dust charge gradient along with the E-field are considered as possible energy sources for driving the edge vortex flow and central region vortex motion, respectively. The directions of rotation also confirm the different energy sources responsible for the vortex motion.

 Comments. N. orientalis was described by Dalmas (1921, p. 289, figs72, 91) from Turkey (Asia Minor). Its presence was confirmed by Seyyar et al. (2009) who provided further illustrations of the genital organs of both sexes (p. 65, Figs 13–20) and further records from south –central Turkey. Material under this species name was found in the collection of H. Hadjissarantos at ZMUA although no record of it was ever published. All material identified as N. orientalis was examined by the author and was found identical to N. palaestina (see records in the relevant species). Therefore no records are valid for N. orientalis in the Greek territory, at least until new data confirm its presence.

description: Field research conducted in the Northern Territory sought Aboriginal children and young people’s views about the ‘Intervention’ and revealed the impact of these measures on their lives, on Aboriginal peoples and in Aboriginal communities. Research participants articulated detailed knowledge about the Intervention and expressed their nuanced views about two key measures: income management through the BasicsCard, and alcohol regulation through the ‘blue and white warning signs’ that were placed at the entrance to all prescribed communities. Most participants said the BasicsCard positively impacted aspects of their lives, yet nearly all participants were unaware that the BasicsCard targeted Aboriginal peoples and upon learning this children and young people assessed the measure as ‘bad racism’. Participants unanimously agreed that the blue and white warning signs were an ineffective regulatory measure that negatively impacted their lives by ‘shaming’ communities and making them ‘look bad’.This research is significant because it (a) presents the first academic accounts from Aboriginal children and young people detailing their views about the Intervention; (b) demonstrates Aboriginal children and young people’s agency and capacity to express informed views about complex matters such as legislation and policy; and (c) shows that the involvement of Aboriginal children and young people in the design of laws and policies likely to affect them is not only the Australian government’s responsibility under art 12 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and Australia’s obligation under art 19 of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, but is an effective and necessary precondition for the development of relevant, culturally appropriate and durable laws and policies that advance Aboriginal children and young people’s human rights.

description: This article explores misleading food credence claims. The article commences by drawing attention to a concomitant increase indifferentiated foods (eg locally sourced, free-range or ‘healthy’) and information asymmetry (ie where food businesses possess more accurate and useful information than consumers). The article then examines attempts by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (‘ACCC’) to deter misleading food credence claims and identifies a taxonomy of misleading food credence claims including those made about a food’s: (i) provenance; (ii) manufacture or production; and (iii) qualities or characteristics. The article then situates the ACCC’s efforts within the dialectic of Corporate Social Irresponsibility (‘CSI’) and Corporate Social Responsibility (‘CSR’), and in so doing, within regulatory theory that espouses a mix of deterrence and cooperation. We argue that while the ACCC plays a crucial role in deterring misleading food credence claims its focus is on CSI: meaning that more needs to be done to encourage CSR in relation to accurate and unbiased food credence claims. By treating food credence claims as a matter of CSR, food businesses can support informed decision-making and perhaps even contribute to better health outcomes. Indeed, conceptualising food credence claims as CSR is an important and necessary step in ensuring that honest and accurate food credence claims become the norm, not just the law.

description: Monolayers of transition-metal dichalcogenides feature exceptional optical properties that are dominated by tightly bound electron–hole pairs, called excitons. Creating van der Waals heterostructures by deterministically stacking individual monolayers can tune various properties via the choice of materials1 and the relative orientation of the layers2,3. In these structures, a new type of exciton emerges where the electron and hole are spatially separated into different layers. These interlayer excitons4,5,6 allow exploration of many-body quantum phenomena7,8 and are ideally suited for valleytronic applications9. A basic model of a fully spatially separated electron and hole stemming from the K valleys of the monolayer Brillouin zones is usually applied to describe such excitons. Here, we combine photoluminescence spectroscopy and first-principles calculations to expand the concept of interlayer excitons. We identify a partially charge-separated electron–hole pair in MoS2/WSe2 heterostructures where the hole resides at the Γ point and the electron is located in a K valley. We control the emission energy of this new type of momentum-space indirect, yet strongly bound exciton by variation of the relative orientation of the layers. These findings represent a crucial step towards the understanding and control of excitonic effects in van der Waals heterostructures and devices.

description: We study orientifolds of type IIB string theory in the plane-wave background supported by null RR 3-form flux F^{(3)}. We describe how to extract the RR tadpoles in the Green-Schwarz formalism in a general setting. Two models with orientifold groups {1, Ω} and {1,ΩI_4}, which are T-dual to each other, are considered. Consistency of these backgrounds requires 32 D9 branes for the first model and 32 D5 branes for the second one. We study the spectra and comment on the heterotic duals of our models.

description: The hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis regulates energy balance through the pleiotropic action of thyroid hormones. HPT basal activity and stimulation by cold or voluntary exercise are repressed by previous chronic stress in adults. Maternal separation (MS) modifies HPT basal activity we thus studied the response of the axis to energy demands and analyzed possible epigenetic changes on Trh promoter. Non-handled (NH) or MS male Wistar rats were cold exposed 1h at adulthood, only in NH rats Trh expression in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and serum TSH concentration were increased. Two weeks of voluntary exercise decreased fat mass, increased Trh expression, and thyroid hormones concentration changed proportionally to running distance in NH male rats and MS male rats. Although NH-females ran more than MS and much more than males, exercise decreased body weight and fat mass only in NH-rats with no change on any parameter of HPT axis, but increased Pomc expression in arcuate-nucleus of NH- whereas Npy in MS-females. Overall methylation pattern of PVN Trh gene promoter was similar in NH-males or -females; MS modified methylation of specific CpG sites, a thyroid-hormone receptor (THR) binding site present after the initiation site was hypomethylated in MS-males; in MS-females, the THR binding-site of the proximal promoter (site 4) and two sites in the first intron were hypermethylated. Our studies showed that, in a sex dimorphic manner, MS blunted the responses of HPT axis to energy demands in adult animals and caused methylation changes on Trh promoter that could alter T3 feedback.

description: A successful family farming sector is strategic for developing rural areas, but is is endangered by household-specific market failures, high transaction costs and low bargaining power. Contract farming and collective actions are two common institutional devices for acquiring a level of certainty regarding market information, delivery conditions and procurement prices. Farmers’ associations is one of the common form of collective actions, but faces problems of opportunistic behaviour from their participating members. The intensity of group identity felt by an individual member is an essential determinant of the level of commitment and support granted towards the association. This case study analyzes the interdependence between individual identification intensity and revealed commitment for a commodity specific association that is based on individual membership. Members and non-members of the association participated in a questionnaire followed by a natural field experiment concerning their social identity towards the existing pepper association. By manipulating the social identity variable it could be seen that social identity has an influence on the participation of the individual in the association. This effect could be found for members and non-members alike. Strengthened social identity generally increased the participation of the individual in the organisation.

description: Within an electric circuit description of extragalactic jets temporal variations of the electric currents are associated with finite collisionless conductivities and consequently magnetic-field aligned electric fields $E_\parallel$. The maximum field strengths depend on the efficiency of the jet MHD generator $E_\perp$ and the local conversion to the $E_\parallel$ component. The hadronic jet constituents can efficiently be accelerated in such fields all along the jets. To estimate the maximum energy the accelerated jet hadrons can achieve we consider energy loss processes as photon-pion and pair production as well as synchrotron and inverse Compton radiation. It turns out that for the strongest $E_\parallel$ possible the Centaurus A jet is a most promising candidate for the source of the highest energy component of cosmic rays.

The Public Interest, Representative Government and the 'Legitimate Ends' of Restricting Political Speech

description: The question of what constitutes a ‘legitimate end’ for burdening the implied freedom of political communication has remained unclear and divisive for nearly two decades, in spite of the unanimity of the High Court in Lange v Australian Broadcasting Corporation (1997) 189 CLR 520. Until recently, the test for ‘legitimate ends’ appeared to require evaluation by the High Court of the ‘public interest’ that the impugned legislation was directed at. However, the ambiguous operation of ‘legitimacy testing’ has now been simultaneously clarified and problematised by the High Court in McCloy v New South Wales (2015) 257 CLR 178. In that case the High Court switched the focus of legitimacy testing from an impugned purpose’s effect on the ‘public interest’ to its effect on ‘representative government’. This article examines how the bare majority’s judgment in McCloy has both removed some confusion, but also laid the groundwork for continued uncertainty in other respects, and places the landmark decision in the wider context of legitimacy testing. In particular, questions remain concerning the continued role of public interest considerations and what constitutes ‘representative and responsible government prescribed by the Constitution’.
Empty perovskites as Coulomb floppy networks: entropic elasticity and negative thermal expansion

description: Floppy Networks (FNs) provide valuable insight into the origin of anomalous mechanical and thermal properties in soft matter systems, from polymers, rubber, and biomolecules to glasses and granular materials. Here, we use the very same FN concept to construct a quantitative microscopic theory of empty perovskites, a family of crystals with ReO$_3$ structure, which exhibit a number of unusual properties. One remarkable example is ScF$_3$, which shows a near-zero-temperature structural instability and large negative thermal expansion (NTE). We trace these effects to an FN-like crystalline architecture formed by strong nearest-neighbor bonds, which is stabilized by net electrostatic repulsion that plays a role similar to osmotic pressure in polymeric gels. NTE in these crystalline solids, which we conceptualize as Coulomb Floppy Networks, emerges from the tension effect of Coulomb repulsion combined with the FN's entropic elasticity, and has the same physical origin as in gels and rubber. Our theory provides an accurate, quantitative description of phonons, thermal expansion, compressibility, and structural phase diagram, all in excellent agreement with experiments. The entropic stabilization of critical soft modes, which play only a secondary role in NTE, explains the observed phase diagram. Significant entropic elasticity resolves the puzzle of a marked, $\approx$50\% discrepancy between the experimentally observed bulk modulus and ab initio calculations. The Coulomb FN approach is potentially applicable to other important materials with markedly covalent bonds, from perovskite oxides to iron chalcogenides, whose anomalous vibrational and structural properties are still poorly understood.
