Bones of Contention: The Right to Possession of the Body of the Deceased under Australian Law as a Property Right
Creators: name: Falconer, Kate
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2020

description: Death comes to all. And in all cases, someone must see to the disposal of the body. In common law jurisdictions such as Australia, the person tasked with disposing of the body of a particular deceased person is said to hold a right to possession in relation to that body. By giving one particular individual physical and decision-making control over the deceased body at issue, this common law right to possession of the body of the deceased ('the right to possession') plays a vital role in the resolution of legal disputes relating to the treatment and disposal of the dead. Such disputes are increasing both in number and in frequency, and a thorough understanding of the law that underpins them is necessary. Nonetheless, judicial engagement with, and academic consideration of, the right to possession is inconsistent and inconclusive, particularly as regards that right's juridical status. This Thesis addresses this key gap in our understanding by responding affirmatively to the question 'is the right to possession of the body of a deceased person, as it currently exists in the Australian common law, a property right?' In answering this question, this Thesis undertakes a doctrinal analysis of a core group of 56 Australian post-death dispute cases, adopting an evaluative framework that requires both internal and external consistency. The right to possession is first acknowledged as having particular, recognisable salient features that identify that right as an independent, established legal incident and allow it to operate in a predictable way in any given post-death dispute. Having determined the right to possession to be an internally consistent and cohesive legal incident, this Thesis then engages in an exercise of analytical jurisprudence to identify the essential attributes of property and to assess whether the right to possession possesses those attributes as a matter of external consistency. This Thesis adopts an exclusion essentialist theory of property, drawing especially on the work of James Penner. It defines the taxonomical branch of the private law that is property as those legal rules that work to protect our interest in exclusively determining the use to which our 'thing' is put. Assessing the right to possession's compliance with the structural framework expected of property rights that results from this definition, this Thesis reaches the preliminary conclusion that the right to possession is indeed proprietary in nature. It then analyses the external consistency of each of the right's internal salient features with this preliminary conclusion, ultimately confirming that the right to possession of the body of a deceased person as it currently exists in the Australian common law is a property right.
The $η$NN Coupling in Eta Photoproduction

description: Low-energy eta photoproduction on the nucleon is studied in an effective Lagrangian approach that contains Born terms, vector meson and nucleon resonance contributions. The resonance sector includes the $S_{11}(1535)$, $P_{11}(1440)$ and $D_{13}(1520)$ states whose couplings are fixed by independent electromagnetic and hadronic data. The available $(γ,η)$ data are employed to discuss the difference between pseudoscalar and pseudovector Born terms and to determine the magnitude of the $ηNN$ coupling constant. We present multipoles that are most sensitive to the various model ingredients and demonstrate how these multipoles may be accessed in polarization observables. Cross section calculations are presented for eta photoproduction on light nuclei.

An Unexpected Romance: Reevaluating the Authorship of the Khosrow-nāma*
Creators: name: O’Malley, Austin
Publisher: name: Al-ʿUsur al-Wusta
Year: 2020

description: This article examines the authorship of the Khosrow-nāma, a Perso-Hellenic romance traditionally attributed to ʿAṭṭār. Forty years ago, Shafiʿi-Kadkani laid out a complex argument against ʿAṭṭār’s authorship. He claimed that the attribution was a result of a later forgery, basing his argument on internal chronological evidence, religious and stylistic markers, and the manuscript tradition. The present article systematically evaluates this argument, showing it to be less persuasive than it first appears. First, I introduce new manuscript evidence to demonstrate that the poem was circulating under ʿAṭṭār’s name already before the time of the alleged forgery. I then reassess the internal evidence to show that the Khosrow-nāma could, in fact, fit into a plausible chronology of ʿAṭṭār’s oeuvre. Next, I critique the stylistic and religious arguments against ʿAṭṭār’s authorship, arguing that the romance does not deviate from ʿAṭṭār’s undisputed works nearly as much as is often supposed. I conclude by suggesting that the available data are explained more easily by accepting ʿAṭṭār’s authorship than by adopting the theory of a later forgery.

Subjects: municipal solid waste

description: Municipal solid waste (MSW) is considered to be one of the critical issues in developing countries. To manage this waste in a sustainable way, it is necessary to develop integrated processes to find its multiple utilization pathways. Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of MSW integrated with power generation and nutrient recovery could be a plausible solution to the wet waste handling problem in a densely populated country like Bangladesh. In this study, MSW sampled from a landfill of Dhaka city revealed the presence of high amount of organic waste (~ 74 w/w%). This facilitated the concept of waste valorization through nutrient recovery. The heating value of the MSW was found to be 14.7 MJ/kg (on dry basis) making it a suitable source for power generation. HTC experiments on the waste showed a retention of almost ~83% of the energy in biocoal. Based on these results, an integrated biorefinery having a capacity of processing all the MSW generated in Dhaka, can produce 45 MWe power with 3.2 ton/day of K and 0.9 ton/day of Ca as by-product. These results would be further evaluated in a pilot-scale demonstration in 2020.
Investigating the multiplicative effects of climate change on Southern Ocean phytoplankton
Creators: name: Andrew, Sarah
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2019

description: Southern Ocean phytoplankton have been shown to overcome the low light and low iron (Fe) environment through genomic and physiological adaptations. Together, these adaptations allow the efficient use of light and Fe to photosynthesise optimally in this cold polar region. Through biological and physical processes, the Southern Ocean (SO) accounts for approximately 40% of global carbon fixation. Model projections indicate that light, temperature, Fe and CO2 (thus pH) in the Southern Ocean are likely to change simultaneously in the future due to changing climate. Although prior investigations have constrained the response of SO species to changes of individual environmental variables, multiple species responses to concurrent changes is unclear. This project utilises physiological measurements and molecular biological tools to explore adaptation responses and biochemical strategies of Southern Ocean phytoplankton to environmental changes. I quantified the thermal performance curves of three SO species under growth saturating and sub-saturating light in Fe replete and Fe limiting media to understand the capacity for species to withstand warming. I then measured the protein concentrations expressed under varying light and Fe conditions in three SO species compared to a temperate diatom to discover trade-offs to light and iron in photosynthetic proteins. To assess SO phytoplankton responses to climate change, two species were grown under changes in CO2, light, temperature and Fe. Finally I characterised the Rubisco from SO and a temperate diatom to understand differences in carbon acquisition strategies compared to a vascular land plant. This study adds to a growing research focus which aims to understand how marine biota will respond to climate changes over the coming century. It also aims to uncover underlying adaptations that allow SO phytoplankton to fix and export carbon in spite of cold temperatures, low light and growth limiting iron concentrations in this region. The evidence presented in this thesis discusses the evolutionary ramifications for dispersal into the SO and reveals different evolutionary histories of SO diatoms isolated from the same location. Furthermore, the results from this study agree with other findings to suggest that Chaetoceros spp will increase in abundance in response to climate change.

description: The task of learning a probability distribution from samples is ubiquitous across the natural sciences. The output distributions of local quantum circuits are of central importance in both quantum advantage proposals and a variety of quantum machine learning algorithms. In this work, we extensively characterize the learnability of output distributions of local quantum circuits. Firstly, we contrast learnability with simulatability by showing that Clifford circuit output distributions are efficiently learnable, while the injection of a single T gate renders the density modeling task hard for any depth d=nΩ(1). We further show that the task of generative modeling universal quantum circuits at any depth d=nΩ(1) is hard for any learning algorithm, classical or quantum, and that for statistical query algorithms, even depth d=ω[log(n)] Clifford circuits are hard to learn. Our results show that one cannot use the output distributions of local quantum circuits to provide a separation between the power of quantum and classical generative modeling algorithms, and therefore provide evidence against quantum advantages for practically relevant probabilistic modeling tasks.

description: The in-medium nucleon-nucleon cross section is calculated starting from the thermodynamic T-matrix at finite temperatures. The corresponding Bethe-Salpeter-equation is solved using a separable representation of the Paris nucleon-nucleon-potential. The energy-dependent in-medium N-N cross section at a given density shows a strong temperature dependence. Especially at low temperatures and low total momenta, the in-medium cross section is strongly modified by in-medium effects. In particular, with decreasing temperature an enhancement near the Fermi energy is observed. This enhancement can be discussed as a precursor of the superfluid phase transition in nuclear matter.

description: This work aims to understand which midplane conditions are probed by the DCO$^+$ emission in the disk around the Herbig Ae star HD 169142. We explore the sensitivity of the DCO$^+$ formation pathways to the gas temperature and the CO abundance. The DCO$^+$ $J$=3-2 transition was observed with ALMA at a spatial resolution of 0.3". The HD 169142 DCO$^+$ radial intensity profile reveals a warm, inner component at radii <30 AU and a broad, ring-like structure from ~50-230 AU with a peak at 100 AU just beyond the millimeter grain edge. We modeled DCO$^+$ emission in HD 169142 with a physical disk structure adapted from the literature, and employed a simple deuterium chemical network to investigate the formation of DCO$^+$ through the cold deuterium fractionation pathway via H$_2$D$^+$. Contributions from the warm deuterium fractionation pathway via CH$_2$D$^+$ are approximated using a constant abundance in the intermediate disk layers. Parameterized models show that alterations to the midplane gas temperature and CO abundance of the literature model are both needed to recover the observed DCO$^+$ radial intensity profile. The best-fit model contains a shadowed, cold midplane in the region z/r < 0.1 with an 8 K decrease in gas temperature and a factor of five CO depletion just beyond the millimeter grain edge, and a 2 K decrease in gas temperature for r > 120 AU. The warm deuterium fractionation pathway is implemented as a constant DCO$^+$ abundance of 2.0$\times$10$^{-12}$ between 30-70 K. The DCO$^+$ emission probes a reservoir of cold material in the HD 169142 outer disk that is not revealed by the millimeter continuum, the SED, nor the emission from the 12CO, 13CO, or C18O $J$=2-1 lines.

Entropy production and rectification efficiency in colloids transport along a pulsating channel

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: We study the current rectification of particles moving in a pulsating channel under the in uence of an applied force. We have shown the existence of diferent rectification scenarios in which entropic and energetic effects compete. The effect can be quantified by means of a rectification coefficient that is analyzed in terms of the force, the frequency and the diffusion coefficient. The energetic cost of the motion of the particles expressed in terms of the entropy production depends on the importance of the entropic contribution to the total force. Rectification is more important at low values of the applied force when entropic effects become dominant. In this regime, the entropy production is not invariant under reversal of the applied force. The phenomenon observed could be used to optimize transport in microfluidic devices or in biological channels.

description: Reliability based design optimization (RBDO) problems are important in engineering applications, but it is challenging to solve such problems. In this study, a new resolution method based on the directional Bat Algorithm (dBA) is presented. To overcome the difficulties in the evaluations of probabilistic constraints, the reliable design space concept has been applied to convert the yielded stochastic constrained optimization problem from the RBDO formulation into a deterministic constrained optimization problem. In addition, the constraint handling technique has also been introduced to the dBA so that the algorithm can solve constrained optimization problem effectively. The new method has been applied to several engineering problems and the results show that the new method can solve different varieties of RBDO problems efficiently. In fact, the obtained solutions are consistent with the best results in the literature.

Nourishing the Noble: Breastfeeding and Hero-Making in Medieval Arabic Popular Literature
Creators: name: Schine, Rachel
Publisher: name: Al-ʿUsur al-Wusta
Year: 2020

description: This essay examines the role of nursing experiences in the formation of popular heroes in Arabic literature of the medieval period, with a primary focus on the genres of siyar shaʿbiyya and qiṣaṣ al-anbiyāʾ. I show that the miraculous nursing of heroes—many of whom are foundlings—in popular texts tends to follow a providential meeting either with an animal or with a woman who is capable of nursing. Though such tale patterns are attested across many cultures, they are also elaborated in specific, linked ways in traditional Muslim sources, as in narratives of Moses’s miraculous nursing and stories of Muḥammad’s wet nurse, Ḥalīma. Whereas prophetic literature often depicts nursing solely as a human-human relationship, the heroic literature incorporates significant human-animal encounters. Using an exemplary anecdote about a hero’s suckling found in manuscripts and early print editions of Sīrat Dhāt al-Himma, I sketch how one such instance can travel and shift across an epic tradition. I interpret the experience of the hero’s foster mother through the lens both of traditional Islamic institutions of milk kinship and of a reading practice that attends closely to women’s presences and agencies in the early lives of (mostly) male literary figures.

A comprehensive analysis is performed from the obtained solutions regarding stability, energy conditions, regularity, sound velocity and compactness. These solutions can be referred to model the compact celestial entities. In particular, a compact star named, $Her X-1$ has been modeled which indicates that current solution fits and is in conformity to the observational data as well. A useful and interesting fact from this model arises that relative difference between two forces of anisotropic pressure and electromagnetic force may occur inside the aforementioned compact star. This is another mechanism which is essential for stability of the compact object and prevent stellar object to annihilate.

A Newly Discovered Letter of the Early Arabic Alphabet: A Distinction between Final Jīm and Final Ḥāʾ/Khāʾ and Its Nabataean Origins*
Creators: name: Van Putten, Marijn
Publisher: name: Al-ʿUsur al-Wusta
Year: 2020

description: This paper studies the letter shape of the final jīm, ḥāʾ, and khāʾ in seven early Quranic manuscripts. Examination of the shape of these letters in these manuscripts reveals a graphemic distinction between the jīm, which lacks the typical curved tail, and the ḥāʾ and the khāʾ, which do have this tail. This distinction is lost in later Quranic manuscripts. I argue that the distinction between jīm and ḥāʾ/khāʾ is a continuation from the Arabic script’s origins in the Nabataean Aramaic script, which had distinct letter shapes for these signs. Contrary to what has been previously thought, the evidence adduced in this article shows that the merger happened in the Islamic period rather than in the pre-Islamic period.

description: Background: Studies comparing objective and self-reported cognitive functioning as well as influencing factors in individuals with remitted bipolar disorder are scarce and contradictory. Methods: The aim of this study was to compare executive functioning and other objective and self-reported cognitive impairment between 26 individuals with remitted bipolar disorder (15 BD I) and 24 healthy controls using a cross-sectional design. Executive functions were measured by the TAP Go/No-go subtest as well as the Stroop Task. Self-rated functioning was assessed using the Attention Deficit Experience Questionnaire. In addition, possible predictors of self-reported and objective cognitive functioning were examined to perform regression analyses. Results: Individuals with remitted bipolar disorder did not differ significantly in executive functions or other objective cognitive domains from the healthy control group, but showed a significantly lower level of self-reported cognitive functioning and self-esteem. While self-esteem was the strongest predictor in healthy controls for self-reported cognitive functioning, severity of illness and subthreshold depressive mood were the most important predictors in individuals with remitted bipolar disorder. Conclusion: The results once again demonstrate the cognitive heterogeneity in bipolar disorder. In the treatment of cognitive deficits, factors such as subthreshold depressive symptomatology and self-esteem should be focused on in addition to cognitive training in remitted patients.
Reacting to Muḥammad: Three Early Islamic Poets in the Kitāb al-Aghānī *
Creators: name: Klasova, Pamela
Publisher: name: Al-ʿUsur al-Wusta

description: This article investigates how the secular Arabic poetic tradition interacted with the new religious rhetoric of emergent Islam. Concretely, it deals with the verses and legacies of three poets contemporary to Muḥammad who converted to Islam, yet protested its pietistic rhetoric. Abū Khirāsh al-Hudhalī, Abū Miḥjan al-Thaqafī, and Suḥaym, the slave of the Banū al-Ḥasḥās, all lived in the Ḥijāz and witnessed the formation of Muḥammad’s movement up close. The first aim of the article is to listen to their reactions. Because the three poets were not directly involved in the promotion of the new religion, nor were they in an open struggle against it, their testimony is especially valuable for its insight into the reception of the emergent Islamic movement among Arab tribes in the Ḥijāz, beyond Muḥammad’s close community. The second aim is to follow the later reception of the poets and their incorporation into the Arabo-Islamic canon through an examination of the narratives (akhbār) that accompany the verses in Abū al-Faraj al-Iṣfahānī’s (d. 356/967) Kitāb al-Aghānī, the underlying assumption being that these akhbār are secondary to the verses. Besides these two main points, an examination of the interplay between the verses and the akhbār also establishes the importance of Mukhaḍram poetry as a historical source and exposes the multilayered nature of the poets’ akhbār.

description: Egge, Loehr, and Warrington proved a formula for the Schur function expansion of a symmetric function in terms of its expansion in fundamental quasi-symmetric functions. Their formula involves the coefficients of a modified inverse Kostka matrix. Recently Garsia and Remmel gave a simpler reformulation of Egge, Loehr, and Warrington's result, with a new proof. We give here a simple proof of Garsia and Remmel's version, using a sign-reversing involution.

description: An interesting aspect of nuclear dynamics is the co--existence, in atomic nuclei, of regular and chaotic states. In the first part of the present work, we review the state of the art of nuclear dynamics and use a schematic shell model to show how a very simple and schematic nucleon--nucleon interaction can produce an order$\to$chaos transition. The second part is devoted to a discussion of the wave function behaviour and decay of chaotic states using some simple models (to be published in Rivista Nuovo Cimento).

In Search of the Early Islamic Economy

description: Editors’ Note: Michael Bonner passed suddenly and tragically on May 25 of this year while at work on a late draft of the present article. We are grateful to his spouse, Dr. Daniela Gobetti, for granting us permission to publish it in its current form. We opted to do so, not simply because it was well along in the production process, but more to the point, on the strength of its content. It is our understanding that Michael had intended to produce a full, book-length study on the basis of these same ideas and arguments. The present article, if somewhat programmatic, builds on Michael’s recent scholarship on the “economy of poverty” and Arabian trade, among other topics. His stated goal was to raise new and pressing questions on a much-neglected topic and, in doing so, situate his discussion in the context of the most recent developments in imperial economic history—in this case as they relate to the early Islamic realm. It is our conviction that here, as in all of his previous published work, Michael advances the study of early and medieval Islamic history forward many paces.

Monopole annihilation at the electroweak scale---Not!

description: We examine the issue of monopole annihilation at the electroweak scale induced by flux tube confinement, concentrating first on the simplest possibility---one which requires no new physics beyond the standard model. Monopoles existing at the time of the electroweak phase transition may trigger $W$ condensation which can confine magnetic flux into flux tubes. However we show on very general grounds, using several independent estimates, that such a mechanism is impotent. We then present several general dynamical arguments constraining the possibility of monopole annihilation through any confining phase near the electroweak scale.

description: Based on the assumption that every transfer of knowledge is, implicit or explicit, accompanied by an evaluation of its efficiency, the contributions of Beyond the State Examinations strive to explore various types of knowledge evaluation in premodern Korea. While most previous research in this area focused on the government service examination system, which served as the backbone of the civil and military structure of the Chosŏn state (1392–1910), the present volume explores new perspectives on both formal and informal modes of knowledge evaluation employed in Buddhist communities, literati gatherings, educational settings, military circles or among women. It shows that the male, elite-centered state examination system and its top-down hierarchy was only one, often critically questioned, type of knowledge assessment practices in Chosŏn society. A broader understanding of knowledge evaluation raises questions such as who assessed Buddhist enlightenment, how military prowess was measured, or why knowledge of literary allusions could not only bring success or failure in the state examinations, but was also a notable form of entertainment for its participants.
Between Aspirations and Reality: The European Union and International Investment Law Reform
Creators: name: Damjanovic, Ivana
Publisher: name: The Australian National University

description: International investment law, as a subsystem of international law for the protection of foreign investors, is at a crossroads. Public and political controversies prompted a number of reform processes, most significantly the multilateral reform of Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) in the framework of the UN Commission on International Trade Law. The EU, as an emerging actor in the field, has proposed the establishment of a new Multilateral Investment Court as part of the ISDS reform in the EU and international law. This research evaluates the contribution of the EU to the development of international law in the field of investment, and in particular it assesses whether the ISDS reforms of the EU address the international investment law problems and contribute to the achievement of the rule of law and legitimacy as the reform's normative goals. In order to answer this question, this dissertation provides a substantial analysis of EU investment law and policy in the broader context of international investment law and its reform. The investment reform of the EU is the expression of the constitutional aspiration of the EU to promote multilateral solutions to common ISDS problems. In reality, the EU faces a number of challenges, stemming from the external complexities of international investment law and multilateral governance; as well as the internal limitations of the EU's own constitutional and legal framework. The approach of the EU to the legal regulation of investment is a pragmatic but ambitious long-term strategy for achieving the EU's internal integrationist and external trade objectives. Its vision of international investment law is a trade-off between aspirational EU values and its commercial objectives, with a fragmentary contribution to the international rule of law and the legitimacy of international investment law. The ongoing multilateral reform process remains a test for the EU to establish a new international court at times when both international law and multilateralism face significant challenges.

description: High partial waves for $pp$ and $np$ elastic scattering are examined critically from 210 to 800 MeV. Non-OPE contributions are compared with predictions from theory. There are some discrepancies, but sufficient agreement that values of the $πNN$ coupling constants $g_0^2$ for $π^0$ exchange and $g^2_{c}$ for charged $π$ exchange can be derived. Results are $g^2_0 = 13.91 \pm 0.13 \pm 0.07$ and $g^2_c = 13.69 \pm 0.15 \pm 0.24$, where the first error is statistical and the second is an estimate of the likely systematic error, arising mostly from uncertainties in the normalisation of total cross sections and $dσ/dΩ$.

Hierarchical quantum master equation approach to electronic-vibrational coupling in nonequilibrium transport through nanosystems: Reservoir formulation and application to vibrational instabilities

description: We present a novel hierarchical quantum master equation (HQME) approach which provides a numerically exact description of nonequilibrium charge transport in nanosystems with electronic-vibrational coupling. In contrast to previous work [Phys. Rev. B $\bf{94}$, 201407 (2016)], the active vibrational degrees of freedom are treated in the reservoir subspace and are integrated out. This facilitates applications to systems with very high excitation levels, for example due to current-induced heating, while properties of the vibrational degrees of freedom, such as the excitation level and other moments of the vibrational distribution function, are still accessible. The method is applied to a generic model of a nanosystem, which comprises a single electronic level that is coupled to fermionic leads and a vibrational degree of freedom. Converged results are obtained in a broad spectrum of parameters, ranging from the nonadiabatic to the adiabatic transport regime. We specifically investigate the phenomenon of vibrational instability, that is, the increase of current-induced vibrational excitation for decreasing electronic-vibrational coupling. The novel HQME approach allows us to analyze the influence of level broadening due to both molecule-lead coupling and thermal effects. Results obtained for the first two moments suggest that the vibrational excitation is always described by a geometric distribution in the weak electronic-vibrational coupling limit.
