title: Impact of Hall effect on energy decay in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence

authors: Matthaeus, William H.

subjects: mathematics

abstract: We examine numerically the influence of Hall effect corrections to Ohm's law upon the decay of homogeneous compressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence and conclude that there are no significant differences in global decay rate associated with the Hall effect. This affirms expectations that energy decay is controlled by the large-scale eddies.

title: The academic as fiduciary: More than a metaphor

authors: Mackinnon, Ken

subjects: law

abstract: There is increasing interest in the role of the university teacher, both from a pedagogic point of view and from a legal one.  The first part of this article looks at various pedagogic models or metaphors of the relationship between the academic and the student.  It concludes that thinking of the relationship as a “fiduciary” one is a useful metaphor, drawn from the law.  The main part of the article returns to the legal (or equitable) origins of that concept.  Building on the case law and commentary from Canada, New Zealand, Australia and the UK, the article explores what would be required to bring the obligations of the academic to students within the legal/equitable definition of fiduciary obligations owed by academics to their students.  The conclusion is that even if we do not want to force the extension of enforceable fiduciary obligations to encompass the academic-student relationship, the adoption of those obligations by academics should be part of “best practice”.

title: Māori & Psychology Research Unit Annual Report 2012

authors: Waitoki, Waikaremoana

abstract: Annual report of the Māori and Psychology Research Unit (MPRU) 2012. The unit was established in August of 1997. The unit is designed to provide a catalyst and support network for enhancing research concerning the psychological needs, aspirations, and priorities of Maori people. The MPRU is well situated to draw together skilled and experienced interdisciplinary research groups by networking and establishing working relationships with staff and students within the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, the University, and the wider community.
