Characterizing microseismicity at the Rotokawa and Ngatamariki geothermal fields
Authors:   , Hopp Chet 
Published: December 2021

<p>In this thesis, we construct a four-year (2012–2015) catalog of microearthquakes for the Ngatamariki and Rotokawa geothermal fields in the Taupō Volcanic Zone of New Zealand, and use these data to improve the knowledge of reservoir behavior. These microearthquakes occur frequently, often every few seconds, and therefore provide a tool that we use to assess reservoir properties with dense spatial and temporal resolution as well as to illuminate the underlying processes of seismogenesis. Using a matched-filter detection technique we detect and precisely relocate nearly 9000 events, from which we calculate 982 focal mechanisms. At Ngatamariki, these results constitute the first detailed analysis of seismicity at a newly-developed resource. It has been commonly assumed that induced shear on fractures increases reservoir permeability by offsetting asperities on either fracture wall, thereby propping the fracture open. During stimulation treatments of two boreholes (NM08 and NM09), borehole permeability experiences logarithmic growth. At NM08, this growth occurs for eight days in the absence of seismicity, while at NM09 only nine microearthquakes are observed during the one-month treatment. This suggests that hydro-shear, the process of inducing seismicity through increased pore pressure at critically-stressed fractures, is not the dominant mechanism of permeability increase at many geothermal wells. Instead, aseismic processes, likely thermal and overpressure induced fracture opening, dominate well stimulation in high-temperature geothermal settings. At Rotokawa, the earthquake frequency-magnitude distribution (b-value) is positively correlated with both proximity to major injection wells and depth. In an inferred pressure compartment near injection well RK23, b is ~1.18, but is <1.0 elsewhere, suggesting a connection between increased pore-fluid pressure and small-magnitude events. In addition, throughout the reservoir b increases from a value of ~1.0 at injection depth to almost 1.5 two kilometers below the reservoir, consistent with observations at volcanic areas elsewhere, but opposing the conventional wisdom that b-value is inversely proportional to differential stress. Finally, the 982 focal mechanism observations that we invert for stress show a normal faulting regime throughout both reservoirs. At Rotokawa, a lowering stress ratio, v, after reintroduction of injection well RK23 (v drops from 0.9 to 0.2 over six months) indicates that anisotropic reservoir cooling affects the reservoir stress state through a process of preferential stress reduction.</p>
G. E. Sukhareva's place in the history of autism research: Context, reception, translation
Authors:   , Simmonds Charlotte 
Published: December 2021

<p>Grunya Efimovna Sukhareva was a Soviet child psychiatrist and neurologist who described an autism-like condition closely resembling Asperger’s syndrome about 20 years before Hans Asperger and Leo Kanner published their descriptions of autistic psychopathy and early infantile autism, first naming it schizoid psychopathy (1925), later renaming it autistic psychopathy (1959). While autistic-like syndromes were repeatedly described independently in many countries in the first half of the 20th century, Sukhareva seems to have been the only person to give a detailed description of the syndrome’s presentation in girls and its sex differences. Considered the founder of child psychiatry in Russia, she is little known elsewhere, despite a significant portion of her work being written in German. Awareness of Sukhareva and her work has been slowly making its way into autistic history, largely as a result of the 1996 publication of Sula Wolff’s translation of the 1926 case studies on schizoid psychopathy in boys, but the large majority of her work remains untranslated from German and/or Russian and inaccessible to many people. Her 1927 paper of case studies on girls, describing sex differences similar to those being described now, are virtually unknown even in German texts. Including the translation of Sukhareva’s German-language paper on schizoid psychopathy in girls, summaries of her Russian-language texts on the syndrome, and what is hoped is a comprehensive bibliography of her published work, this thesis seeks to place Sukhareva’s work and its reception within the wider context of research into autistic-like syndromes in Anglo-European medical literature, and to understand the impact of domestic and international politics of the 20th century on child psychiatry and the international exchange of scientific knowledge. The thesis also corrects misinformation found in some recent popular histories of autism.</p>
Enter the Matrix: An Examination of Patrick Pound's The Great Exhibition
Authors:   , Mitchell-Anyon Milly 
Published: December 2021

<p>This thesis considers the practice of New Zealand-born artist, Patrick Pound (b. 1962) through an analysis of his survey show, Patrick Pound: The Great Exhibition, which was staged at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne between 31 March and 30 July 2017. The Great Exhibition demonstrates the complexity and multiplicity of Pound’s practice, exemplifying the interconnectedness of his thinking and his use of an algorithmic approach to collecting, curating and categorisation. His depth of art-historical knowledge plays out as an intricate puzzle. The scope of The Great Exhibition is vast and, while it might appear to mostly involve the arrangement of more than 4,000 vernacular photographs and found objects, alongside 300 items from the NGV’s collection, the methodologies of collecting and curation employed by Pound are multifaceted. I consider the constancy of Pound’s interrogation of authorship and meaning throughout his practice, which is integrally related to his use of vernacular photographs and found objects within The Great Exhibition. I examine our relationship with vernacular photography and how this is exposed in The Great Exhibition. The practices of artists such as Erik Kessels, Joachim Schmid and Marcel Duchamp provide context here. Chapter Three asks how The Great Exhibition fits within a wider context of exhibitions by artist-as-curators such as Fred Wilson’s Mining the Museum and Edward Steichen’s The Family of Man. This chapter also examines how computer algorithms can be applied as a framework for understanding The Great Exhibition’s curatorial logic. Pound’s complex system of sorting and categorising into matrices and intersections is considered in relation to writer Georges Perec and his understanding of Alan Turing’s conceptualisation of the ‘Automatic’ and ‘Oracle’ machines. My conclusion reflects on what can and cannot be learned from Patrick Pound’s The Great Exhibition.</p>
Between Moments - Using virtual reality with participatory processes to design healthcare waiting places
Authors:   , Harkness Robyn 
Published: December 2021

<p>Within healthcare architecture, there is a void of attention directed towards the non-medical spaces; the waiting rooms, hallways and all ‘between moments’ where many people spend extended periods of time under acute stress. Nowhere is this more prevalent that in the emergency departments where patients seek care and treatment for real or perceived, serious injuries or illnesses. While waiting for medical attention, exposure to high levels of harsh lighting, sterile furnishings, chaotic activity and cavernous rooms with others in distress can cause and increase anxiety, delirium and high blood pressure. The emotional experience of such spaces changes based upon a user’s unique sensory conditions and therefore their individual perception of space. The architectural design tools and devices to explore these highly charged sensory spaces have been historically limited to technical plans and sections and rendered marketing perspectival images, which do not fully communicate the immersive experience of these spaces when in use. Virtual reality is emerging as a powerful three-dimensional visualisation tool, offering designers the opportunity to comprehend proposed designs more clearly during the planning and design phases, thus enabling a greater influence on design decision making. This research explores the use of VR in a healthcare perspective, adopting a participatory design approach to simulate sensory conditions of blindness, deafness and autism and the emotions associated with these conditions within space. This approach diverges from a purely visual method of design towards an understanding of the haptic, exploring the critical phenomenology behind these non-medical spaces. The research finds significant potential for the use of virtual reality as a design tool to simulate the experience of these spaces in early design stages.</p>
I'm Different Online: An Account of Differences between Face-to-Face and Online Testimony
Authors:   , Enright Sophia 
Published: December 2021

<p>Why is Testimony important? The field of testimony is a sub-discipline of the study of epistemology, the study of how we come to know things. Existing literature on testimony mainly focuses on face-to-face interactions. However, online communications have become an integral part of our daily discourse. The purpose of this thesis is to develop an account of testimonial injustices in the context of online testimony. First I will examine cases of face-to-face epistemic injustice which result from failures of knowledge transmission in communicative acts. I will then outline cases of online epistemic injustice. This showcases differences between the kinds of epistemic injustices that can arise in online and in face-to-face contexts. My intention is to identify epistemic issues unique to online environments, with the overall objective to hold agents accountable for acts of epistemic harm, such as intentional misinformation or trolling. I will then be in a position to introduce key features of online testimony, and explain the significance of distinguishing online testimony as a space for shared knowledge from face-to-face testimony. Finally, I propose a viable framework for successful online testimony which holds agents accountable for epistemic harms.</p>
A Constraint-Based Approach to Manipulator Kinematics and Singularities
Authors:   , Amirinezhad Seyedvahid 
Published: December 2021

<p>In this thesis, a differential-geometric approach to the kinematics of multibody mechanisms is introduced that enables analysis of singularities of both serial and parallel manipulators in a flexible and complete way. Existing approaches such as those of Gosselin and Angeles [1], Zlatanov et al. [2] and Park and Kim [3] make use of a combination of joint freedoms and constraints and so build in assumptions. In contrast, this new approach is solely constraint-based, avoiding some of the shortcomings of these earlier theories. The proposed representation has two core ingredients. First, it avoids direct reference to the choice of inputs and their associated joint freedoms and instead focuses on a kinematic constraint map (KCM), defined by the constraints imposed by all joints and not requiring consideration of closure conditions arising from closed loops in the design. The KCM is expressed in terms of pose (i.e. position and orientation) variables, which are the coordinates of all the manipulator’s links with respect to a reference frame. The kinematics of a given manipulator can be described by means of this representation, locally and globally. Also, for a family of manipulators defined by a specific architecture, the KCM will tell us how the choice of design parameters (e.g. link lengths) affects these kinematic properties within the family. At a global level, the KCM determines a subset in the space of all pose variables, known as the configuration space (C-space) of the manipulator, whose topology may vary across the set of design parameters. The Jacobian (matrix of first-order partial derivatives) of the KCM may become singular at some specific choices of pose variables. These conditions express a subset called the singular set of the C-space. It is shown that if a family of manipulators, parametrised by a manifold Rd of design parameters, is “well-behaved” then the pose variables can be eliminated from the KCM equations together with the conditions for singularities, to give conditions in terms of design parameters, that define a hypersurface in Rd of manipulators in the class that exhibit C-space singularities. These are referred to as Grashof-type conditions, as they generalise classically known inequalities classifying planar 4-bar mechanisms due to Grashof [4]. Secondly, we develop the theory to incorporate actuator space (A-space) and workspace (W-space), based on a choice of actuated joints or inputs and on the manipulator’s end-effector workspace or outputs. This will facilitate us with a framework for analysing singularities for forward and inverse kinematics via input and output mappings defined on the manipulator’s C-space. This provides new insight into the structure of the forward and inverse kinematics, especially for parallel manipulators. The theory is illustrated by a number of applications, some of which recapitulate classical or known results and some of which are new.</p>
Age and the City
Authors:   , Schoch Kara 
Published: December 2021

<p>Social isolation and loneliness affecting a large number of older persons and elderly is a prevalent issue in today’s society. Current older persons and the Baby Boomer generation approaching this age are far more independent than previous generations. Their perception of ‘retirement’ has a negative connotation due to society’s pressures and value placed in remaining independent and useful. The current model of aged care housing, although existing in many forms catered towards different levels of care, is generally seen as a last resort and an acceptance of being dependent on others for day-to-day things. This has led to a trend of ageing in place, in homes which are arguably too big for a single person or couple and often not equipped to adapt to bodily decline. With reducing mobility, this can restrict the residents’ ability to socially interact and engage with their communities. This research investigation analyses the role architecture plays in contributing to this issue and looks at opportunities for improvement through the design of a mixed urban housing development designed to meet the physical and social needs of older persons. Four strategic design tactics were formed during the early design investigations. They directly address the researches aims and objectives through social and spatial means. These tactics are: Tactic 1 - Urban Location, connecting residents to the city, parks and a nearby school; Tactic 2 - Social Circulation is developed to facilitate incidental and planned interactions in the circulation spaces of the developments; Tactic 3 - Mixed Housing provides a range of apartments suited to older persons, students and families; Tactic 4 - Shared Amenities provides health services, leisure activities and a cafe for residents and the wider public to enjoy. The design investigation found that making circulation a primary focus allowed for a stronger relationship between the site and building and allowed for more opportunities for interactions between residents and the public. This research argues that these tactics working together, will provide better outcomes for older persons in health and well being and should be considered as a new and better model of older persons housing.</p>
Pieces and Parts

<p>Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) is a contemporary engineered wood product and its use is growing within the construction industry. CLT is a readily available structural timber product and with the development of CNC (Computer Numerical Control), customisable panels can be fabricated off-site. There is, however, a gap to create both a system, which is all-inclusive of the exterior cladding system with the structural CLT panel. The research fills this gap, with the design of custom joinery between CLT panels and the cladding. The design of the vertical metal joints aim at creating a prefabricated envelope system that responds to any design, due to working with any cladding option. The holistic system also investigated an efficient approach with the connection between CLT wall and floor panels. The horizontal base and top connection between the wall and floor panels aimed at utilising modern techniques, whilst applying a high level of prefabrication. The designed prefabricated vertical and horizontal joints allow for a savings in time within the construction stage as the system is fabricated off-site, delivered to the site, and therefore erected quickly. The ease of on-site assembly is dependent on the off-site production. Fabricating the system off-site within a controlled environment is cost effective and is fabricated regardless of weather. Due to the efficient assembly of parts on-site, this reduces the need for on-site scaffolding. The new design system includes structural CLT panels, insulation, waterproofing, the custom designed joints, and the exterior cladding. This ensures that when it is brought to site, minimum amount of construction is needed. Developing this all-inclusive system ensures ease of construction, also in locations that are hard or dangerous to reach. This specifically includes infill sites, but is also not limited to this. Construction on sites harder to access (beach fronts, hills) can also be considered due to the system being fabricated off-site, resulting in an easier build, therefore not deterring people away from specific sites. The holistic system examines off-site production methods and on-site assembly. The development of the off-site fabricated CLT panel that is inclusive of a weather-sealed cladding ensures that the on-site assembly is minimised. Developing the vertical joinery system for the cladding, and the horizontal connection for the panels, ensures that system can be constructed without the use of scaffolding, minimising the need to access the exterior. With the increase of CLT buildings, and prefabrication being an efficient way of building, the development of this system could provide a start to a solution within the construction industry.</p>
Virtual Retail

<p>Retail design has always been much more than selling products; it is a way for the brands to express them self. It is what they stand for through their brand essences. Turning their manifestation into physical forms to create space this physical space that interns offers the consumer an experiences. The interior architecture, bridges the gap between brand and consumers, as it evokes the essence of the brand while envisaging in an architectural form and tells one a story. However, since the birth of the e-consumer market, this gap that’s has differentiated the two apart has gotten widen, as 2D webpage can only offer so much. The interaction provided is minimal thus removing some of the experiential and service elements that traditionally a physical store would offer. This consequence lowers the brand engagement due to the limiting physical interaction of a webpage. Virtual Reality (VR) has become largely popular within many different sectors such as education, entertainment and military. This thesis proposes to explore how virtual reality can be used as an extending to the e-consumer market and articulate a hybrid integration for a shopping environment. The thesis will use precedents of brand identity, brand identity “is the manifestation of a brand that can be seen, heard and immediately experienced” this is the embodied of the brand in the physical form. Brand identity will be used to design the virtual environment.</p>

PROTESTAS, DENUNCIAS Y SANCIONES DURANTE EL PERONISMO. EL CASO DE LA ESCUELA NORMAL Y EL INSTITUTO DEL PROFESORADO DE PARANÁ (1948-1949)
Authors: Petitti Eva Mara 
Published: December 2021

El objetivo de esta investigación es reconstruir las protestas, las denuncias y las cesantías que tuvieron como foco la Escuela Normal de Paraná y el Instituto del Profesorado al que estaba anexa entre 1948 y 1949. El desencadenante fue el discurso de un celador, pronunciado con motivo del 17 de octubre, en el cual se enalteció la figura de Rosas en oposición a la de Sarmiento. Desde un abordaje microanalítico, el trabajo busca hacer un aporte a los estudios sobre las denuncias y cesantías a docentes durante el peronismo, a la vez que sobre los vínculos entre el peronismo y el revisionismo histórico argentino. Con ese fin se consulta la prensa local y fuentes oficiales. Además, se explican las estrategias de la oposición para llevar a cabo las acusaciones que se basaron en la diferenciación entre el peronismo y el rosismo, así como en la asociación de este último con el nazismo.
Simposio caleidoscópico: una mirada poliédrica hacia los cuerpos bellos del Banquete de Platón
Authors: Sain Abril Sofía 
Published: December 2021

Focalizaremos este trabajo en el tratamiento platónico del cuerpo en el Banquete, bajo un abordaje particular: el de considerar la dinámica dialógica de este texto al modo de un “caleidoscopio” a través del cual Platón nos presenta imágenes, las elabora, complejiza y transforma. Atenderemos en particular los primeros cuatro discursos, mostrando que ya desde el comienzo hay en el diálogo una construcción conceptual fuerte y una visión positiva del cuerpo, antes del elogio de Sócrates. Tras esta experiencia óptica a través de los elogios de Fedro, Pausanias, Erixímaco y Aristófanes analizaremos la vinculación entre la esfera de la corporalidad y (1) el deseo sexual, (2) la ética y (3) la felicidad. Concluiremos que en este diálogo Platón elabora un modelo antropológico en el cual el rol del cuerpo se hace indudablemente presente para la búsqueda filosófica. Finalmente, tejeremos un contrapunto con el film Il Banchetto di Platone de Marco Ferreri (1989), el cual relata el encuentro en la casa de Agatón siguiendo el texto platónico casi al pie de la letra. Contrapondremos nuestra tesis con ciertas decisiones escénicas del film, según las cuales el cuerpo queda devaluado a la esfera más oscura de lo puramente sexual desligado del carácter filosófico. A la luz de este contrapunto, regresaremos, no obstante, al film, ya que allí lo corporal se impone como un claro protagonista y, aunque apegado a la hermenéutica tradicional del diálogo, abre igualmente la posibilidad de una reflexión crítica sobre el rol que puede tener el cuerpo en la acción filosófica.
