Item type: Item , Access status: Restricted , Jurisdiction over restrictive business practices : the effects doctrine and accommodating the interests of foreign states(1985-07) Caine, Anne.Regulation of restrictive business practices (RBP's) by States has a long history. Originally the common law doctrine of restraint of trade was the means used to regulate such practices.Item type: Item , Access status: Restricted , Review of personnel decisions in the Australian Public Service under the Administrative Decisions (Judicial Review) Act 1977(1987-06) Williams, Neil JohnAfter the Administrative Decisions (Judicial Review) Act 1977 ("the Judicial Review Act") came into force, there was a dramatic upturn in applications for judicial review of decisions concerning personnel matters in the Australian Public Service ("the APS").Item type: Publication , Access status: Metadata only , Poignant, Roslyn (1927–2019)(John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2021) Thomas, MartinRoslyn Poignant (1927–2019) was a visual anthropologist and historian who analyzed ethnographic photography and its links with colonization. A graduate of the University of Sydney, she was based in London for much of her life. She trained as a film editor and was married to the photographer Axel Poignant. Her work was informed by a practical understanding of photography's conditions of production. She curated the groundbreaking exhibition Observers of Man , drawn from the collections of the Royal Anthropological Institute, of which she was honorary secretary. In the 1990s Poignant developed a consultative methodology for the study of photographic archives. This involved the repatriation of images taken by her late husband to Arnhem Land, northern Australia, where he had worked in the 1950s. Her major publication is Professional Savages (2004), a study of Aboriginal Australians who were abducted and exhibited as racial curiosities in the United States and Europe.Item type: Publication , Access status: Metadata only , French—Issues in Applied Phonology, Phonetics, and Pronunciation(John Wiley & Sons Inc., 2025-05-26) Inceoglu, SolèneThis overview of the key issues in French applied phonology, phonetics, and pronunciation begins with a description of the sounds of French, focusing first on segmentals (i.e., vowels and consonants) before considering suprasegmental features of French, including connected speech, stress, and rhythm. Standard Northern Metropolitan French is used as the starting point, with references to other varieties of French provided when relevant. It also examines common pronunciation issues for second-language (L2) learners of French and briefly summarizes the research conducted on L2 French pronunciation to date. Gaps in L2 French pronunciation research are highlighted and suggestions for future directions are offered.Item type: Publication , Access status: Metadata only , Reconciling extragalactic star formation efficiencies with theory: Insights from PHANGS(2025-08-01) Meidt, Sharon E.; Glover, Simon C.O.; Klessen, Ralf S.; Leroy, Adam K.; Sun, Jiayi; Agertz, Oscar; Emsellem, Eric; Henshaw, Jonathan D.; Neumann, Lukas; Rosolowsky, Erik; Schinnerer, Eva; Utomo, Dyas; Van Der Wel, Arjen; Bigiel, Frank; Colombo, Dario; Gleis, Damian R.; Grasha, Kathryn; Gensior, Jindra; Gnedin, Oleg Y.; Hughes, Annie; Murphy, Eric J.; Querejeta, Miguel; Smith, Rowan J.; Williams, Thomas G.; Usero, AntonioNew extragalactic measurements of the cloud population-averaged star formation efficiency per free-fall time, Ïμff, from PHANGS show little sign of a theoretically predicted dependence on the gas virial level and weak variation with cloud-scale gas velocity dispersion. We explore ways to bring theory into consistency with the observations, particularly by highlighting systematic variations in internal density structure that must accompany an increase in virial parameter typically found toward denser galaxy centers. To introduce these variations into conventional turbulence-regulated star formation models, we adopted three adjustments, all motivated by the expectation that the background host galaxy has an influence on the cloud scale: (1) We incorporate self-gravity and an internal density distribution that contains a broad power-law (PL) component and resembles the structure observed in local resolved clouds; (2) We allow the internal gas kinematics to include motion in the background potential and let this regulate the onset of self-gravitation; (3) We assume that the distribution of gas densities is in a steady state for only a fraction of a cloud free-fall time. In practice, these changes significantly reduce the efficiencies predicted in multi-free-fall (MFF) scenarios compared to purely lognormal probability density functions (PDFs) and tie efficiency variations to variations in the slope of the PL α. We fit the model to PHANGS measurements of Ïμff to identify the PL slopes that yield an optimal match. These slopes vary systematically with galactic environment in the sense that gas that sits furthest from virial balance contains fractionally more gas at high density. We relate this to the equilibrium response of gas in the presence of the galactic gravitational potential, which forces more gas to high density than characteristic of fully self-gravitating clouds. Viewing the efficiency variations as originating with time evolution in the PL slope, our findings would alternatively imply coordination of the cloud evolutionary stage within environment. With this galaxy regulation behavior included, our preferred self-gravitating multi-freefall sgMFF models function similarly to the original, roughly virialized cloud single-free-fall models. However, outside the environment of disks with their characteristic regulation, the flexible MFF models may be better suited.
