description: Side-channel analysis constitutes a powerful attack vector against cryptographic implementations. Techniques such as power and electromagnetic side-channel analysis have been extensively studied to provide an efficient way to recover the secret key used in cryptographic algorithms. To protect against such attacks, countermeasure designers have developed protection methods, such as masking and hiding, to make the attacks harder. However, due to significant overheads, these protections are sometimes deployed only at the beginning and the end of encryption, which are the main targets for side-channel attacks. In this paper, we present a methodology for side-channel assisted differential cryptanalysis attack to target middle rounds of block cipher implementations. Such method presents a powerful attack vector against designs that normally only protect the beginning and end rounds of ciphers. We generalize the attack to SPN based ciphers and calculate the effort the attacker needs to recover the secret key. We provide experimental results on 8-bit and 32-bit microcontrollers. We provide case studies on state-of-the-art symmetric block ciphers, such as AES, SKINNY, and PRESENT. Furthermore, we show how to attack shuffling-protected implementations.

Active control of outgoing noise fields in rooms
Creators: name: Ma, Fei
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: Active noise control is a strategy to suppress a noise by superimposing it with a carefully designed secondary noise. The strategy has been under research over the past half century with active noise control aided devices surging on the market over the last decade. However, up to now, the most successful applications of active noise control are still limited to the single channel systems, where noises propagate in ducts or in the human ear canals. Many researchers attempted to extend the application of active noise control to spatial noise fields, such as controlling the tire rolling noise in cars, the ventilation noise in workplaces, or the pump engine noise outdoors, which account for the majority of noises we encounter in our everyday lives. They developed spatial active noise control systems based on room modes, spherical modes, or the Helmholtz integral equation. The attempts have found limited success in the real world because of two problems. The first is that a spatial noise field is the complicated interaction of a number of noise sources with the environment, both of which can be non-stationary and time-varying. This problem makes it extremely difficult to obtain clean reference signals for spatial active noise control systems. The second is that due to the lack of a time-domain spatial sound field control theory, the existing spatial active noise control systems process the acoustic quantities in the time-frequency domain. The time-frequency domain processing introduces the frame delay and thus probably makes the systems violate the causal control constraint. This thesis proposes an outgoing noise field control system based on the frequency-domain sound field separation method. The method decouples the outgoing field (due to the noise sources) from the incoming field (due to the environment) on a sphere surrounding the noise sources. By canceling the outgoing field only, the proposed system reduces the noise entirely in a room without estimating the secondary paths in real-time and with negligible influence on the desired sound field in the room. This thesis further derives a time-domain sound field separation method, based on which a low latency outgoing field control system with random noise field cancellation capacity is developed. Multiple circular arrays of vector sensors for three-dimensional sound field analysis are developed based on the time-domain method. The designed arrays have a compact geometry, and thus can be integrated with small sized wearable devices and provide them with real-time sound field analysis capacity.

description: It is hoped that the accuracy of a variety of lattice calculations will be improved by perturbatively eliminating effects proportional to the lattice spacing. In this paper, we apply this improvement program to the heavy quark effective theory currents which cause a heavy quark to decay to a light quark, and renormalize the resulting operators to order $\alphaS$. We find a small decrease in the amount that the operator needs to be renormalized, relative to the unimproved case.

description: Chemical functionalization has proven to be a promising means of tailoring the unique properties of graphene. For example, hydrogenation can yield a variety of interesting effects, including a metal-insulator transition or the formation of localized magnetic moments. Meanwhile, graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition is the most suitable for large-scale production, but the resulting material tends to be polycrystalline. Up to now there has been relatively little focus on how chemical functionalization, and hydrogenation in particular, impacts the properties of polycrystalline graphene. In this work, we use numerical simulations to study the electrical properties of hydrogenated polycrystalline graphene. We find a strong correlation between the spatial distribution of the hydrogen adsorbates and the charge transport properties. Charge transport is weakly sensitive to hydrogenation when adsorbates are confined to the grain boundaries, while a uniform distribution of hydrogen degrades the electronic mobility. This difference stems from the formation of the hydrogen-induced resonant impurity states, which are inhibited when the honeycomb symmetry is locally broken by the grain boundaries. These findings suggest a tunability of electrical transport of polycrystalline graphene through selective hydrogen functionalization, and also have implications for hydrogen-induced magnetization and spin lifetime of this material.
Near-threshold $K^{+}$ Production in Heavy-ion Collisions

description: Within a hadronic transport model we study in detail contributions to kaon yields and momentum spectra from various baryon (resonance)-baryon (resonance) and $πN$ interactions in heavy-ion collisions at beam energies near the free-space kaon production threshold. It is found that the finite lifetime of baryon resonances affects significantly the shape of kaon spectra, and the high energy parts of the kaon spectra are dominated by kaons from $πN\rightarrow ΛK^{+}$ processes. $N^{*}(1440)$ resonances are found to contribute about 10\% to the kaon yield. Effects of boosting the Fermi momentum distributions of the two colliding nuclei into their center of mass frame, centrality of the reaction as well as the nuclear equation of state on kaon yields and spectra are also discussed. Model calculations on $K^{+}$, $π^{+}$ and $π^{-}$ spectra for the reaction of Au+Au at $E_{beam}/A= 1.0$ GeV are compared with the experimental data from the KaoS collaboration.

Explaining the Failure of Environmental Law in China
Creators: name: Xu, Guangdong

Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2016

description: China has experienced remarkable economic growth in recent decades, with an average annual growth of approximately ten percent. As a result of this unprecedented and miraculous growth, China’s economy has expanded impressively and is now the second largest economy in the world (with a nominal GDP of USD 10.36 trillion in 2014), behind only the United States. China is currently the world’s largest exporter, largest manufacturer, largest holder of foreign exchange reserves, and second-largest destination of foreign direct investment (FDI). China’s growth miracle, however, has not arrived without costs. Environmental pollution is another serious challenge faced by the Chinese government and society. In response to the increasing pressures caused by its deteriorating environmental conditions, the Chinese government has adopted a series of strategies in recent years to begin to pay the environmental debt that has been ignored for decades. However, the effects of these efforts have been modest at best, and the environmental quality in China has not been improved sufficiently to meet public health and safety requirements. Certain institutional weaknesses, such as legislative vagueness, lack of resources and governmental support for enforcement, local protectionism and restricted public participation, have all been identified in the current literature as being responsible for the ineffectiveness of China’s environmental governance. We will show that economic growth has inexorably become an overriding objective that derives from the Party’s desperation to maintain power because increased wealth accumulation supports the regime by appeasing the people, co-opting powerful elites, and strengthening the security apparatus. Environmental protection is not vital to the Party’s survival and therefore is sacrificed for economic growth, at least until pollution-related unrest endangers the Party. Section II offers a brief overview of China’s environmental problems, with special attention to both air pollution and water pollution. Section III discusses the failure of China’s environmental governance institutions, including its courts and regulatory agencies, in addressing environmental challenges. Section IV analyses how China’s political system—its authoritarian nature, its legitimacy-pursuing efforts, and its decentralized power structure in particular—have contributed and continue to contribute to the current environmental disaster. Section V concludes.

description: The Tibetan Plateau is a product of the continental collision between the Indian and Asian plates along the Indus-Yarlung suture zone that started in the early Cenozoic. This collision initially produced stress at the collisional boundary and later propagated with time on both the Indian plate and Asian plate. Many studies have reported tectonic deformation in the Himalayas representing the immediate response of continental collision on the Indian side near the collisional boundary. However, there have been only few studies on the early Cenozoic shortening structures in the Lhasa block that forms the southernmost part of the Asian plate. In this study, we performed Ar/Ar geochronology of syntectonic muscovite from the Sinongduo thrust system in the central Lhasa block. The results show that the Sinongduo thrust system was active in the Early Eocene. We interpret the Sinongduo thrust system as an immediate response to the India-Asia collision in the Lhasa block. This study reconciles the early Cenozoic India-Asia collision with the lack of tectonic response in the Lhasa block.

description: The mass flow rate of Poiseuille flow of rarefied gas through long ducts of two-dimensional cross-sections with arbitrary shape are critical in the pore-network modeling of gas transport in porous media. In this paper, for the first time, the high-order hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method is used to find the steady-state solution of the linearized Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook equation on two-dimensional triangular meshes. The velocity distribution function and its traces are approximated in the piecewise polynomial space (of degree up to 4) on the triangular meshes and the mesh skeletons, respectively. By employing a numerical flux that is derived from the first-order upwind scheme and imposing its continuity on the mesh skeletons, global systems for unknown traces are obtained with a few coupled degrees of freedom. To achieve fast convergence to the steady-state solution, a diffusion-type equation for flow velocity that is asymptotic-preserving into the fluid dynamic limit is solved by the HDG simultaneously, on the same meshes. The proposed HDG-synthetic iterative scheme is proved to be accurate and efficient. Specifically, for flows in the near-continuum regime, numerical simulations have shown that, to achieve the same level of accuracy, our scheme could be faster than the conventional iterative scheme by two orders of magnitude, while it is faster than the synthetic iterative scheme based on the finite difference discretization in the spatial space by one order of magnitude. The HDG-synthetic iterative scheme is ready to be extended to simulate rarefied gas mixtures and the Boltzmann collision operator.

description: We investigate the time neutral formulation of quantum cosmology of Gell-Mann and Hartle. In particular we study the proposal discussed by them that our Universe corresponds to the time symmetric decoherence functional with initial and final density matrix of low entropy. We show that our Universe does not correspond to this proposal by investigating the behaviour of small inhomogeneous perturbations around a Friedman-Robertson-Walker model. These perturbations cannot be time symmetric if they were small at the Big Bang.

Mobile phones and the promises of connectivity: Interrogating the Role of Information, Communication Technologies (ICTs) in Marketisation
Creators: name: Titus, Asha
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: This research investigates the role of ICTs (mobile phones) in economic development particularly in the Papua New Guinean coffee and fresh produce value chains. It aims to interrogate the promises and unwavering optimism attached to the 'ICT revolution' by examining the effects of ICTs on economic practices and the extent to which communication and network integration will be a driver of development. Following the deregulation of the telecommunications sector in 2007, considerable attention has been paid to the digital transformation in Papua New Guinea and the Pacific Islands and the unprecedented growth of mobile phone and social media use. PNG's mobile phone penetration has increased exponentially from approximately 2% to over 48.6% in just over ten years (from 2005 to 2016 - World Bank 2017). Media commentators have noted with delight that there are now more Pacific Islanders with mobile phones than bank accounts and that in PNG alone, internet access from mobile phones is forecast to increase to about 50 per cent of the population in the near future (UNESCAP 2006, Beschorner 2008, SPC 2012). Much expectancy and promise has already been attached to the future impacts of such increased connectivity as World Bank Economists postulate that a 10% improvement in Internet penetration leads to an increase in GDP of up to of 1.5%; while 10% increase in mobile penetration can translate into a 0.81% increase in growth (Qiang et al. 2009). These projections are mainly premised on the assumption that increased connectivity will facilitate better access to current information about market prices and reduce price dispersion; producing savings in time, transport and search costs. Furthermore, ICTs could directly link small scale producers to buyer's markets by weeding out 'rent seeking' brokers and middlemen in the value chain through a process referred to as 'disintermediation'. Using case studies from key regional economic sectors, this thesis interrogates if such claims are borne out on the ground and tests if information infrastructure is necessarily going to lead to more openness, equality and an all-encompassing 'digital provide' (Jensen 2007).

description: HEX-programs integrate external computations in ASP. For HEX-evaluation, an external (e)-minimality check is required to prevent cyclic justifications via external sources. As the check is a bottleneck in practice, syntactic information about atom dependencies has been used previously to detect when the check can be avoided. However, the approach largely overapproximates the real dependencies due to the black-box nature of external sources. We show how the dependencies can be approximated more closely by exploiting semantic information, which significantly increases pruning of e-minimality checking. Moreover, we analyze checking and optimization of semantic dependency information. An empirical evaluation exhibits a clear benefit of this approach.

description: Extreme deformation of soft matter is central to our understanding of the effects of shock, fracture, and phase change in a variety of systems. Yet, despite, the increasing interest in this area, far-from-equilibrium behaviours of soft matter remain challenging to probe. Colloidal suspensions are often used to visualise emergent behaviours in soft matter, as they offer precise control of interparticle interactions, and ease of visualisation by optical microscopy. However, previous studies have been limited to deformations that are orders of magnitude too slow to be representative of extreme deformation. Here we use a two-dimensional model system, a monolayer of colloids confined at a fluid interface, to probe and visualise the evolution of the microstructure during high-rate deformation driven by ultrasound. We observe the emergence of a transient network of strings, and use discrete particle simulations to show that it is caused by a delicate interplay of dynamic capillarity and hydrodynamic interactions between particles oscillating at high-frequency. Remarkably, we find evidence of inertial effects in a colloidal system, caused by accelerations approaching 10,000g. These results also suggest that extreme deformation of soft matter offers new opportunities for pattern formation and dynamic self-assembly.

It is demonstrated that a combined use of the methods developed in the relevant different branches of quantum field theory essentially facilitates the all-order study of the asymptotic and analytic properties of this function.

The Politics of Chinese Land: Partial Reform, Vested Interests, and Small Property
Creators: name: Qiao, Shitong
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2015

description: This paper investigates the evolution of the Chinese land regime in the past three decades and focus on one question: why has the land use reform succeeded in the urban area, but not in the rural area? Through asking this question, it presents a holistic view of Chinese land reform, rather than the conventional “rural land rights conflict” picture. This paper argues that the so-called rural land problem is the consequence of China’s partial land use reform. In 1988, the Chinese government chose to conduct land use reform sequentially: first urban and then rural. It was a pragmatic move because it would provoke much less resistance. It also made local governments in China the biggest beneficiary and supporter of the partial reform. However, a beneficiary of partial reform does not necessarily support further reform because of the excessive rents available between the market of urban real estate and the government-controlled system of rural land development and transfer. On the other hand, Chinese farmers and other relevant groups have no voice or power in the political process of the reform, which makes it difficult for the central government to achieve an agenda that balances the interests of all relevant parties. Nevertheless, Chinese farmers have challenged the existing system by forming a huge small-property market to claim their interests in rural land, which counteracts the goals of the central and local governments and has led to adaptive policy changes. This case study of Chinese land reform provides a richer account of the political process of evolution of property rights.

description: We show that Geminga's surface temperature can be understood by both types of neutrino cooling scenarios, i.e, slow neutrino cooling by the modified Urca process or fast neutrino cooling by the direct Urca process or by some exotic matter, and thus does not allow us to discriminate between these two competing schemes. However, for both types of scenarios, agreement with the observed temperature can only be obtained if BARYON PAIRING IS PRESENT IN MOST, IF NOT ALL, OF THE CORE OF THE STAR. We also comment on the recent temperature estimates for PSR 0656+14 and PSR 1055-52, which pertain to the same photon cooling era. We argue though that observational evidence for the slow neutrino cooling model (the ``standard'' model) is in fact very dim and that the interpretation of the surface temperature of all neutron stars could be done with a reasonable theoretical a priori within the fast neutrino cooling scenarios only. In this case, Geminga, PSR 0656+14, and PSR 1055-52 all show evidence of baryon pairing down to their very centers. xxx----To be published in Ap.J. (June 10 isue).---xxx

description: A real tunneling solution is an instanton for the Hartle-Hawking path integral with vanishing extrinsic curvature (vanishing ``momentum'') at the boundary. Since the final momentum is fixed, its conjugate cannot be specified freely; consequently, such an instanton will contribute to the wave function at only one or a few isolated spatial geometries. I show that these geometries are the extrema of the Hartle-Hawking wave function in the semiclassical approximation, and provide some evidence that with a suitable choice of time parameter, these extrema are the maxima of the wave function at a fixed time.

Vietnam and the United States: Domestic Constraints and Strategic Opportunities
Creators: name: Le, Trang
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: While the intensifying US-China strategic rivalry in the Asia-Pacific might seem to confirm the realist paradigm of international politics, the intriguing dynamics of Vietnam-US relations underscored the inadequacy of the neo-realist emphasis on structural constraints as the explanation of interstate behavior. This thesis seeks to fill in the analytical gap by identifying the strategic factors as well as domestic considerations that have informed Vietnamese and US policy toward each other since the process of normalization of bilateral relations began in the early 1990s and examining the interaction between them. In doing so, the thesis takes the two-level game theory as the primary conceptual framework for unpacking the domestic-foreign policy linkages in the Vietnam-US relationship. A two-level game explanation would suggest that the level of congruity between Vietnam's objectives as regards the bilateral relationship and those of the US determines the tempo of cooperation between the two countries. How those objectives are formulated is a function of Vietnamese and American policymakers' interpretations of the international and domestic pressures thrust upon them. The analysis that this thesis aims to provide would contribute to both the scholarship on Vietnam-US relations and the research program on the connection between domestic and international politics.

How to See with an Event Camera
Creators: name: Scheerlinck, Cedric
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: Seeing enables us to recognise people and things, detect motion, perceive our 3D environment and more. Light stimulates our eyes, sending electrical impulses to the brain where we form an image and extract useful information. Computer vision aims to endow computers with the ability to interpret and understand visual information - an artificial analogue to human vision. Traditionally, images from a conventional camera are processed by algorithms designed to extract information. Event cameras are bio-inspired sensors that offer improvements over conventional cameras. They (i) are fast, (ii) can see dark and bright at the same time, (iii) have less motion-blur, (iv) use less energy and (v) transmit data efficiently. However, it is difficult for humans and computers alike to make sense of the raw output of event cameras, called events, because events look nothing like conventional images. This thesis presents novel techniques for extracting information from events via: (i) reconstructing images from events then processing the images using conventional computer vision and (ii) processing events directly to obtain desired information. To advance both fronts, a key goal is to develop a sophisticated understanding of event camera output including its noise properties. Chapters 3 and 4 present fast algorithms that process each event upon arrival to continuously reconstruct the latest image and extract information. Chapters 5 and 6 apply machine learning to event cameras, letting the computer learn from a large amount of data how to process event data to reconstruct video and estimate motion. I hope the algorithms presented in this thesis will take us one step closer to building intelligent systems that can see with event cameras.

description: Non-invasive vascular elastography is an emerging technique in vascular tissue imaging. During the past decades, several techniques have been suggested to estimate the tissue elasticity by measuring the displacement of the Carotid vessel wall. Cross correlation-based methods are the most prevalent approaches to measure the strain exerted in the wall vessel by the blood pressure. In the case of a low pressure, the displacement is too small to be apparent in ultrasound imaging, especially in the regions far from the center of the vessel, causing a high error of displacement measurement. On the other hand, increasing the compression leads to a relatively large displacement in the regions near the center, which reduces the performance of the cross correlation-based methods. In this study, a non-rigid image registration-based technique is proposed to measure the tissue displacement for a relatively large compression. The results show that the error of the displacement measurement obtained by the proposed method is reduced by increasing the amount of compression while the error of the cross correlationbased method rises for a relatively large compression. We also used the synthetic aperture imaging method, benefiting the directivity diagram, to improve the image quality, especially in the superficial regions. The best relative root-mean-square error (RMSE) of the proposed method and the adaptive cross correlation method were 4.5% and 6%, respectively. Consequently, the proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional method and reduces the relative RMSE by 25%.

'Legitimacy Work' and Transnational Policing: interpreting the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (2003-2017)
Creators: name: McAvoy, Daniel
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: This thesis aims to explore how transnational policing and statebuilding interventions work to construct legitimacy for themselves and for the states within which they intervene. To address this aim, my research focuses on a case study of transnational policing as the major component of the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI) (2003-2017). I use the concept of 'legitimacy work' to examine the construction of legitimacy through the discourses, narratives and practices of a transnational policing and statebuilding intervention in Solomon Islands. Adopting an interpretive lens for my research, I first examine how RAMSI worked to construct and sustain its own legitimacy for the purpose of consolidating its own power and authority. I then examine how the intervention, in partnership with local actors, worked to construct and confer legitimacy on local institutions, such as the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF). I use discourse analysis and apply an ethnographic sensibility to analyse RAMSI's public communications, speeches and images targeting external and internal audiences. Key informant interviews and reflection on my own experience provide additional perspective from which to critique official external and internal narratives of RAMSI. I find that the concept of 'legitimacy work' provides a powerful approach to unpack the claims made for the legitimacy of RAMSI's transnational policing and statebuilding activities. It also provides a useful lens for identifying how these claims evolve and focus increasingly on the legitimacy of local policing institutions as the intervention matured. This thesis contributes a new perspective on how legitimacy is engendered in the context of intervention and addresses a gap in the literature by providing empirical details of how interventions deploy strategic narratives to build legitimacy for themselves and the institutions within which they intervene.

Testing the Higgs Sector of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model at Large Hadron Colliders

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

description: We study the Higgs sector of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, in the context of proton-proton collisions at LHC and SSC energies. We assume a relatively heavy supersymmetric particle spectrum, and include recent results on one-loop radiative corrections to Higgs-boson masses and couplings. We begin by discussing present and future constraints from the LEP experiments. We then compute branching ratios and total widths for the neutral ($h,H,A$) and charged ($H^\pm$) Higgs particles. We present total cross-sections and event rates for the important discovery channels at the LHC and SSC. Promising physics signatures are given by $h \to γγ$, $H \to γγ$ or $Z^* Z^*$ or $τ^+ τ^-$, $A \to τ^+ τ^-$, and $t \to b H^+$ followed by $H^+ \to τ^+ ν_τ$, which should allow for an almost complete coverage of the parameter space of the model.

Controlled Semi-Presidentialism: The Case for Semi-Presidentialism Under the Indian Constitution
Creators: name: Gautam, Khagesh
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2015

description: The objective of this article is to subject the proposition that the office of the Indian President has been reduced to, what in India is sometimes referred to as, a “rubber-stamp” office, whereby the President is mostly a ceremonial head of state without any active participation in the inner workings of the executive or legislative business of the country to close scrutiny via a lens of constitutional law. This article is divided into two parts. Part I of this article closely examines the Ceremonial Head position as laid out in the text of the Indian Constitution and various Supreme Court opinions. The legal evidence points to several contradictions. Part II of this article attempts to square these contradictions by making the case for a semi presidential reading of the Indian Presidency.

Monte Carlo Simulations of Novel Biaxial Ordering in Systems of Uniaxially Interacting Rod-like Ellipsoids

description: The minimal ingredient to generate a biaxial liquid crystalline ordering is usually considered to be the strongly biaxial interactions breaking the cylindrical symmetry of the uniaxial molecules. Although there is no fundamental reason to forbid a biaxial ordering of pure uniaxial origin, it has been a long standing problem to find a robust demonstration of such phenomenon in systems of rod-like particles. We report here off-lattice Monte Carlo simulations of some new model systems of polar achiral rodlike ellipsoids which spontaneously exhibit novel biaxial smectic phases of pure uniaxial origin. We show that dipolar interactions can generate different biaxial phases of pure uniaxial origin in systems of cylindrically symmetric Gay-Berne ellipsoids for an wide variety of length-to-width ratios. The systems of ellipsoids with low length-to-width ratios exhibit highly tilted biaxial smectic phases in the presence of central axial dipoles. In case of ellipsoids having high length-to-width ratio, the generation of a biaxial phase requires the presence of two parallel axial terminal dipoles. In addition, the phases also exhibit fascinating ferroelectric or striped ordering of the dipolar ellipsoids.

description: The convective transport in a multicomponent isothermal compressible fluid subject to the mass continuity equations is considered. The velocity is proportional to the negative pressure gradient, according to Darcy?s law, and the pressure is defined by a state equation imposed by the volume extension of the mixture. These model assumptions lead to a parabolic-hyperbolic system for the mass densities. The global-in-time existence of classical and weak solutions is proved in a bounded domain with no-penetration boundary conditions. The idea is to decompose the system into a porous-medium-type equation for the volume extension and transport equations for the modified number fractions. The existence proof is based on parabolic regularity theory, the theory of renormalized solutions, and an approximation of the velocity field.
