Padilla vs. Kentucky – Collateral Damage Control: The “Rest of the Story…” From the Trial Court Judge

Despite the number of years involved, one state court trial judge presided in Jose Padilla’s case from its inception, through proceedings with the United States Supreme Court, subsequent hearing and appeal about ineffective assistance of counsel, and the final completion of the case. Then that same judge presided over two important published cases developing the law established in Padilla v. Kentucky. The author developed the concept of the presiding judge writing an article about this experience. This would enable a presentation of circumstances not usually presented in appellate opinions, such as what happened to the attorneys and the litigants after the case came back to the trial court (twice). In addition to this “rest of the story” approach, the article provides an in-depth analysis of Kentucky’s experience with Padilla v. Kentucky and how it changed Kentucky law as well as national law. Ultimately, this thesis shows how the collateral consequences rule, which has important public policy benefits for the criminal justice system, could be salvaged without violence to the rule announced in Padilla. Practical options are offered to avoid guilty pleas without a defendant’s opportunity to understand and discuss important collateral consequences. Finally, the article submits the result of Jose Padilla’s case was just. Punishment for a crime was imposed, but deportation did not occur

Grain morphology of as-cast wrought aluminium alloys

Two of the most important microstructural features of alloys are the grain size and the dendrite arm spacing (DAS). Both grain refinement and the DAS depend upon alloy composition through constitutional undercooling, but in different ways. Grain size tends to be related to the initial rate of development of constitutional undercooling, whilst the DAS is more related to the amount of solute build-up towards the end of the solidification process. This means that element additions that have a large effect on the grain size, e.g. Ti, have much less effect on the DAS. With examples from a range of wrought Al alloys, this paper investigates how the interaction between alloy content, grain refiner additions and cooling rate affect the grain size, DAS and the grain morphology obtained in an alloy

An analysis of the potential impact of data protection and data security law reform to the position of employees in Indonesian cloud computing industry

Cloud computing has raised both technological and legal issues in its implementation. The readiness and the awareness of the legal effect of the implementation of cloud computing in the workplace should be distributed and applied among the employees, most importantly, the policy makers. They have a significant duty to create full legal awareness by making sure all the employees have complied with the regulations and policies. This study sought to determine whether there was adequate support from the Information and communications technology (ICT) companies in Indonesia for their employees, related to their understanding of and readiness for the implementation of cloud computing, data security and data protection. This thesis analyses the extent to which the Indonesian cloud computing industry would be affected by wide-ranging data protection and data security law reforms, and to evaluate the potential effect that data protection and data security law reform could have on the position of employees in the sector. This study uses empirical legal research to analyse the implications of the development of cloud computing, especially for data security and data protection frameworks in the ICT industry. It studies the relevant law and uses interviews to reveal up-to-date data and depict the real situation in the workplace. This thesis examine the regulation and policy in the European Union and United Kingdom, since they have developed a robust set of protections in data security and data protection. Classical content analysis is used to examine the transcripts from semi-structured interviews and data from legal documents and employment policies. The findings of the research support the growth of ICT employees’ skills and the growth of the cloud computing industry in Indonesia and highlight the implementation of legal aspects in ICT companies and the effect of the development of technology from the policy makers’ perspective

The Influence of the effect of solute on the thermodynamic driving force on grain refinement of Al alloys

Grain refinement is known to be strongly affected by the solute in cast alloys. Addition of some solute can reduce grain size considerably while others have a limited effect. This is usually attributed to the constitutional supercooling which is quantified by the growth restriction factor, Q. However, one factor that has not been considered is whether different solutes have differing effects on the thermodynamic driving force for solidification. This paper reveals that addition of solute reduces the driving force for solidification for a given undercooling, and that for a particular Q value, it is reduced more substantially when adding eutectic-forming solutes than peritectic-forming elements. Therefore, compared with the eutectic-forming solutes, addition of peritectic-forming solutes into Al alloys not only possesses a higher initial nucleation rate resulted from the larger thermodynamic driving force for solidification, but also promotes nucleation within the constitutionally supercooled zone during growth. As subsequent nucleation can occur at smaller constitutional supercoolings for peritectic-forming elements, a smaller grain size is thus produced. The very small constitutional supercooling required to trigger subsequent nucleation in alloys containing Ti is considered as a major contributor to its extraordinary grain refining efficiency in cast Al alloys even without the deliberate addition of inoculants.The Australian Research Council (ARC DP10955737)

Hydrogen Abstraction by Chlorine Atom from Amino Acids: Remarkable Influence of Polar Effects on Regioselectivity

Quantum chemistry computations have been used to investigate hydrogen-atom abstraction by chlorine atom from protonated and N-acetylated amino acids. The results are consistent with the decreased reactivity at the backbone α-carbon and adjacent side-cha

An acute dose of inorganic dietary nitrate does not improve high-intensity, intermittent exercise performance in temperate or hot and humid conditions

Purpose: Dietary nitrate (NO3-) has repeatedly been shown to improve endurance and intermittent, high-intensity events in temperate conditions. However, the ergogenic effects of dietary NO3- on intermittent exercise performance in hot conditions has yet to be investigated. Methods: In a randomised, counterbalanced, double-blind crossover study, twelve 5recreationally trained males ingested a nitrate-rich beetroot juice shot (BRJ) (6.2 mmol NO3-) or a nitrate-depleted placebo (PLA) (0.05). There was a reduced peak (BRJ: 659±100W vs. PLA: 693±139W; p=0.056) and mean power (BRJ: 543±29W vs PLA: 575±38W; p=0.081) following BRJ compared to PLA in the hot and humid condition, but this was not statistically significant. There was no effect of supplement on total work done irrespective of environmental 69 condition. However, ~75% of participants experienced performance decreases following BRJ 70 in the hot and humid environment. No differences were observed between trials for tympanic 71 temperature measured at the conclusion of the exercise trial. Conclusion: In conclusion, an acute dose of inorganic dietary NO3- does not improve repeated sprint performance in either temperate, or hot and humid conditions

In situ X-ray imaging of hot cracking and porosity during LPBF of Al-2139 with TiB2 additions and varied process parameters

Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing of 2XXX series Al alloys could be used for low volume specialist aerospace components, however, such alloys exhibit hot cracking susceptibility that can lead to component failure. In this study, we show two approaches to suppress the formation of hot cracks by controlling solidification behaviour using: (1) TiB2 additions; and (2) optimisation of LPBF process parameters. Using high-speed synchrotron X-ray radiography, we monitored LPBF of Al-2139 in situ, with and without TiB2 under a range of process conditions. In situ X-ray radiography results captured the crack growth over 1.0 ms at a rate of ca. 110 mm s−1, as well as pore evolution, wetting behaviour and build height. High-resolution synchrotron X-ray computed tomography (sCT) was used to measure the volume fraction of defects, e.g. hydrogen pores and microcracks, in the as-built LPBF samples. Our results show adding TiB2 in Al-2139 reduces the volume of cracks by up to 79 % under a volume energy density of 1000 to 5000 J mm−3, as well as reducing the average length, breadth, and surface area of cracks
