description: The effectiveness of Geography instruction in Nigerian secondary schools is pivotal to students in the science classes especially those who have interest in Environmental and Geography related advanced studies. To this end, instructors and curriculum planners must explore effective instructional strategies and communicate their instructional contents using innovative styles that are not only constructive but also ensure active contribution of students in the teaching-learning course. Studies over time and across different places have consistently yielded results that tend to emphasize that such strategies ultimately maximized the achievement of laid down instructional objectives. Flipped classroom has been recognized as a discovery learning medium that puts the learners in charge of the learning process. It has been proven effective for both individualized and cooperative students’ learning, with maximum benefits accruing to both students and instructors. This paper x-rays the integration of flipped classroom instructional strategies in Geography teaching-learning situations. It further contends that the integration of flipped classroom strategies into Geography instructional contents delivery in Nigerian schools will enhance students’ enrolment and participation in learning activities.

description: Apart from a passing reference to Kant, Grice never explains in his writings how he came to discover his conversational maxims. He simply proclaims them without justification. Yet regardless of how his ingenious invention really came about, one might wonder how the conversational maxims can be detected and distinguished from other sorts of maxims. We argue that the conversational maxims can be identified by the use of a transcendental argument in the spirit of Kant. To this end, we introduce Grice’s account of conversational maxims and categories and compare it briefly with Kant’s thoughts on categories. Subsequently, we pursue a thought experiment concerning what would happen if speakers constantly broke one or another of the maxims. It seems that it would not be possible for children to recognize a significant number of lexical meanings under such circumstances. Hence, the conversational maxims are rules whose occasional application is a necessary condition of language and conversation.

description: In the composite models with colored substructure of the fermions the color singlet leptons are accompanied by a composite color octet partners, which are known as leptogluons. We consider the effect of leptogluons in the dilepton production at the LHC and show that in the reachable parameter range this effect is typically dominated by t-channel leptogluon exchange (indirect channel). We show that this channel alone can give a sizable contribution to the dimuon production at the LHC for TeV scale values of the invariant mass of the muon-antimuon pairs.

description: The current approach to urban water supply and disposal, of separating infrastructure for potable source water, stormwater, and sewage flow, is now being questioned, viewed as a inefficient use of water. There is now a need to re-evaluate this approach and seek ways to minimise the environmental impact of urbanisation, as well as reduce costs and maintain the current standard of service. In the last few years, there has been a movement towards alternative methods of water supply and disposal, as part of the solution to current problems. These alternative methods are predominantly based on greater utilisation of urban stormwater and wastewater for beneficial purposes. But, at present, there are no "tools" to evaluate the feasibility of such projects at anything finer than the broad brush scale.[…]

description: The research described in this thesis is concerned with a strengthening approach using bonded fibre reinforced polymer composites (FRP). This approach has shown
significant advantages compared to traditional methods, mainly due to the outstanding mechanical properties of the composites. However, the retrofitted members are often
subjected to new, often brittle, failure modes due to separation or debonding of the composites from the members. In this research, the short-term debonding behaviour of shear-lap blocks and RC beams bonded with carbon fibre reinforced polymer composites (CFRP) using the wet lay-up method is investigated.[…]

Geotechnical Properties and Numerical Analyses for Socketed Pile Design in Weak Rock
Creators: name: Keong, Chiu Hong
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: 90501 Civil Geotechnical Engineering
subject: FOS: Civil engineering

description: This research project involved laboratory and theoretical studies relevant to the performance of piles socketed into the Melbourne mudstone. The laboratory studies consisted of detailed investigations into the geotechnical properties of the intact Melbourne mudstone using both soil mechanics and rock mechanics concepts, theories and testing procedures. The theoretical studies involved the development of mathematical models for both the intact mudstone and concrete-mudstone interface on the basis of the laboratory findings, to enable the prediction of pile behaviour.
The laboratory investigations included the study and development of rock testing techniques with special attention given to saturation, and the effects of strain-rate and specimen length to diameter ratio on the measured stress-strain behaviour of the mudstone. The strength and deformation properties of the mudstone were then determined, including its consolidation, uniaxial stress, direct shear and drained and undrained triaxial stress characteristics.
The mathematical models examined for the mudstone were the critical state, elastic-ideally plastic and variable moduli models, with the latter two especially in relation to finite element analyses. Various finite element techniques using these two models, e.g. reduced integration and use of higher order elements, were developed. A model for the mudstoneconcrete interface was also formulated.
Finite element analyses were performed to establish design curves for elastic analyses of end-bearing only, side-resistance only and complete piles in a homogeneous, 2-layer and 3-layer rock mass. In addition, the effects of a soft layer underlying rock and limiting tensile stresses on pile behaviour were theoretically examined beyond the elastic range [...]

description: Twitter research provides a unique opportunity to answer fundamental questions regarding the best methods for the large-scale retrieval of extremely sparse documents. This study examines the utility of user-generated metadata expansion candidate terms for the creation of precise microblog search engines. Several search engines were created utilizing different genres of candidate expansion terms, confidence thresholds, and document parameters to explore this issue. This study demonstrates that user-generated metadata has utility for the precise retrieval of terse queries with high levels of associated conversation, such as movie awards or current events, but performs poorly on textually rich queries with lower levels of perceived conversation.

The Bearing Capacity of Foundations in Weak Rock

Subjects: subject: 90501 Civil Geotechnical Engineering
subject: FOS: Civil engineering

description: This project is an extension of the research previously undertaken by Williams (1980a) and Chiu (1981) at Monash University. The aims of the research project are to obtain a better understanding of the mechanics of base resistance and to develop techniques for predicting the performance of end-bearing foundations in weak rock. The laboratory investigations include the development of a model rock which is homogeneous and isotropic. This is achieved by the compaction and consolidation of a mixture of mudstone powder, cement, water and calcium chloride, and allowing the mixture to become fully cured. The strength and deformation properties of the model rock, including its consolidation, drained uniaxial and triaxial compressive stress, and tensile stress characteristics are determined. Model rock of different water contents are manufactured by varying the compaction pressure. The properties of the model rock are found to be highly reproducible and very similar to those of Melbourne mudstone. This enables the conduction of model end-bearing pile tests on the model rock without the unknown and random influences of discontinuities and other defects as observed by Williams (1980a) for his in-situ tests. The effects of different pile diameters, rates of loading, embedment ratios and boundary conditions, and the strength and deformation characteristics of the foundation rock on pile behaviour, are studied through the model pile tests. The failure mechanisms are studied either by sectioning the specimens after the model ile tests or by using a stereo-photogrammetric technique. The load-settlement behaviour is re-examined in relation to the observed mechanisms […]

description: A Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) confined in a one-dimensional lattice under the effect of an external homogeneous field is described by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Here we prove that such an equation can be reduced, in the semiclassical limit and in the case of a lattice with a finite number of wells, to a finite-dimensional discrete nonlinear Schrodinger equation. Then, by means of numerical experiments we show that the BEC's center of mass exhibits an oscillating behavior with modulated amplitude; in particular, we show that the oscillating period actually depends on the shape of the initial wavefunction of the condensate as well as on the strength of the nonlinear term. This fact opens a question concerning the validity of a method proposed for the determination of the gravitational constant by means of the measurement of the oscillating period.

An Investigation on the Thermal and Thermo-mechanical Behaviour of Soils
Creators: name: Barry-Macaulay, David
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: 90501 Civil Geotechnical Engineering
subject: FOS: Civil engineering

description: Understanding the thermo-mechanical behaviour of soils and their thermal properties is important in the design of thermally active ground structures. Energy foundations are one such structure that requires sound knowledge of the thermal and thermo-mechanical properties of soils. Although energy foundations have become widespread across Europe, to date, no systems have been implemented in Australia. With the continual increase in electricity price and the emergence of environmental consciousness in Australia, energy foundations are a logical alternative to conventional building heating and cooling systems. However, currently limited information is available on the thermal properties of local soil which makes assessing of the feasibility of energy foundation systems difficult. Moreover, limited research has been undertaken to investigate the influence of temperature on the mechanical performance of energy foundation systems. Thus, extending the current understanding of the thermo-mechanical behaviour of soils will provide important insights for the design of energy foundation systems. The research presented in this thesis investigates the thermal and thermo-mechanical properties of soils and rocks typically encountered during building excavation in Melbourne, Australia. The research focuses on four different areas: investigating the thermal properties of Melbourne soils and rocks; evaluating empirical thermal conductivity models against experimental thermal conductivity data; investigating the influence of temperature on the consolidation behaviour of Melbourne soils; and investigating the effect of temperature on the shear strength of soils [...]

description: Free-standing Bi$_2$Se$_3$ single crystal flakes of variable thickness are grown using a catalyst-free vapor-solid synthesis and are subsequently transferred onto a clean Si$^{++}$/SiO$_2$ substrate where the flakes are contacted in Hall bar geometry. Low temperature magneto-resistance measurements are presented which show a linear magneto-resistance for high magnetic fields and weak anti-localization (WAL) at low fields. Despite an overall strong charge carrier tunability for thinner devices, we find that electron transport is dominated by bulk contributions for all devices. Phase coherence lengths $ł_ϕ$ as extracted from WAL measurements increase linearly with increasing electron density exceeding $1 μ$m at 1.7 K. While $ł_ϕ$ is in qualitative agreement with electron electron interaction-induced dephasing, we find that spin flip scattering processes limit $ł_ϕ$ at low temperatures.

Identifying Community Structure Inherent in the Citation Network of Judicial Precedent

description: This study investigates the inherent structure of the network of citations to judicial precedent among North Carolina appellate judicial decisions, and seeks to determine whether there exist natural groupings or communities within that network that correlate with particular legal topics. In the study, a network is constructed from the texts of North Carolina Supreme Court and Court of Appeals decisions issued between 1998 and 2011 and analyzed by means of an algorithm designed to identify community structure within complex social networks.  The results of the analysis suggest that the inherent structure of a network of citations to judicial precedent might be used to group topically related judicial decisions together. However, the representation of a judicial decision as a single node in such a network is potentially inconsistent with the fact that a single judicial decision may address multiple disparate legal issues, each with its own independent citations to judicial precedent.

description: The two-parameter Poisson--Dirichlet diffusion, introduced in 2009 by Petrov, extends the infinitely-many-neutral-alleles diffusion model, related to Kingman's one-parameter Poisson--Dirichlet distribution and to certain Fleming--Viot processes. The additional parameter has been shown to regulate the clustering structure of the population, but is yet to be fully understood in the way it governs the reproductive process. Here we shed some light on these dynamics by formulating a $K$-allele Wright--Fisher model for a population of size $N$, involving a uniform mutation pattern and a specific state-dependent migration mechanism. Suitably scaled, this process converges in distribution to a $K$-dimensional diffusion process as $N\to\infty$. Moreover, the descending order statistics of the $K$-dimensional diffusion converge in distribution to the two-parameter Poisson--Dirichlet diffusion as $K\to\infty$. The choice of the migration mechanism depends on a delicate balance between reinforcement and redistributive effects. The proof of convergence to the infinite-dimensional diffusion is nontrivial because the generators do not converge on a core. Our strategy for overcoming this complication is to prove \textit{a priori} that in the limit there is no "loss of mass", i.e., that, for each limit point of the sequence of finite-dimensional diffusions (after a reordering of components by size), allele frequencies sum to one.

description: Modularity is widely used to effectively measure the strength of the disjoint community structure found by community detection algorithms. Several overlapping extensions of modularity were proposed to measure the quality of overlapping community structure. However, all these extensions differ just in the way they define the belonging coefficient and belonging function. Yet, there is lack of systematic comparison of different extensions. To fill this gap, we overview overlapping extensions of modularity and generalize them with a uniform definition enabling application of different belonging coefficients and belonging functions to select the best. In addition, we extend localized modularity, modularity density, and eight local community quality metrics to enable their usages for overlapping communities. The experimental results on a large number of real networks and synthetic networks using overlapping extensions of modularity, overlapping modularity density, and local metrics show that the best results are obtained when the product of the belonging coefficients of two nodes is used as the belonging function. Moreover, the results may be used to guide researchers on which metrics to adopt when measuring the quality of overlapping community structure.

description: In the certification procedure aircraft builders carry out so-called icing tests flights, where the zero degree Celsius altitude is deliberately sought and crossed in or under thunderstorms. Airbus also used these flights to test ILDAS, a system aimed to determine lightning severity and attachment points during flight from high speed data on the electric and magnetic field at the aircraft surface. We used this unique opportunity to enhance the ILDAS systems with two x-ray detectors coupled to high speed data recorders in an attempt to determine the x-rays produced by lightning in-situ, with synchronous determination of the lightning current distribution and electric field at the aircraft. Such data are of interest in a study of lightning physics. In addition, the data may provide clues to the x-ray dose for personnel and equipment during flights. The icing campaign ran in April 2014; in six flights we collected data of 61 lightning strikes on an Airbus test aircraft. In this communication we briefly describe ILDAS and present selected results on three strikes, two aircraft initiated and one intercepted. Most of the x-rays have been observed synchronous with initiating negative leader steps, and as bursts immediately preceding the current of the recoil process. Those processes include the return stroke. The bursts last one to four micro-second and attain x-ray energies up to 10 MeV. Intensity and spectral distribution of the x-rays and the association with the current distribution are discussed. ILDAS also continuously records x-rays at low resolution in time and amplitude.
