6-dimensional nearly Kaehler manifolds of cohomogeneity one

We consider 6-dimensional strict nearly Kaehler manifolds acted on by a compact, cohomogeneity one automorphism group G. We classify the compact manifolds of this class up to G-diffeomorphisms. We also prove that the manifold has constant sectional curvature whenever the group G is simple.Comment: 14 page

State-based business licensing in Australia: the Constitution, economics and international perspectives

This paper considers the potential for s92 of the Commonwealth Constitution to invalidate inconsistent State-based licensing requirements in relation to the carrying out of particular occupations

Are Persons Members of a Natural Kind?

A quick answer to the question posed by the title is that they may be. Since the prevailing consensus - I think it is fair to say - regards persons not to be members of a natural kind, a longer answer is required. Sketching an outline of how that answer might proceed is the purpose of the present paper

Government funding of non-governmental organisations and the implied freedom of political communication: the constitutionalityof gag clause

This article considers the growing use of clauses in funding contracts with NGOs restricting their ability to engage in advocacy or contribute to public debate on contentious political issues. It argues there is a plausible argument that such clauses are unconstitutional, offensive to the implied freedom of political communication

Analysis and modelling of the COLOSS international data set 2010-2011

Colony Losses have been calculated for Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Austria, Denmark, Ireland and the UK. The following approach was used. Initial analysis was conducted using examination of the data and descriptive statistics. Some inconsistencies in the data were found, for further consideration. Using appropriate selection of cases, colony losses were calculated for the countries above individually and also overall, using overall proportion of loss, CDS type loss and loss due to queen problems, and also the mean/median of the individual loss rates per beekeeper. The proportions of beekeepers suffering any loss of any kind were also calculated. We both included and excluded Scotland as part of the UK. Differences between countries were found based on 95% confidence intervals for proportion of losses. Some suggestions are made in relation to data quality control and data modelling. Logistic regression/binomial-logit generalised linear modelling may be used to model the chance of any loss, any CDS loss, or loss due to queen problems
