Investigation on the mechanical behaviour of hybrid fibre reinforced polymer composite beam
Creators: name: Maranan, G.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been proven a viable alternative to conventional construction materials such as timber, steel, and reinforced concrete due to its high strength-to-weight, light weight, durable, and corrosion resistant properties. Several studies suggested the effective use of FRP composites in sandwich structures. This paper presents the physical and mechanical properties of a sandwich-structured glue-laminated beam, named as hybrid FRP composite beam, developed by CarbonLOC Pty Ltd in cooperation with the Centre of Excellence in Engineered Fibre Composites (CEEFC) in University of Southern Queensland (USQ). This beam combines the strength and stiffness of glue-laminated panels oriented in the edgewise position bonded with the high tensile strength and modulus Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) skin plates at the top and bottom. The average experimental failure loads of the beam in flexure, shear, longitudinal compression, and tangential compression are 53.45 kN, 211.73 kN, 450.06 kN, and 220.31 kN, respectively, which corresponds to strength of 106.90 MPa, 35.29 MPa, 75.01 MPa, and 61.20 MPa, respectively. The effective stiffness of the beam was enhanced due to top and bottom GFRP plates. Theoretical prediction showed reasonably comparable failure load with the experimental results.

description: We read a lot these days about corruption, self-interest and personal tragedies. The latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for the first time explicitly considers climate change as an ethical challenge. Increasingly, our globalised 24/7 cultures seem to offer little in the way of secular hope in the face of all this. Has it struck you how odd it is that most of us brighten at the thought of having children, when we know (or ought to know) that more kids (multiplied a gazillion times over) must mean most of them have little chance of having decent lives if we persist on our current course?

Anonymity, pseudonymity, and the agency of online identity: Examining the social practices of r/Gonewild
Creators: name: van der Nagel, Emily
name: Frith, Jordan
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: A debate is currently raging regarding the value of anonymity online. On one side of the debate is Facebook, the world’s largest social network site. Facebook demands that people use their real names and is one of the leading forces behind the push towards a “real name” Internet. On the other side of the debate are scholars such as danah boyd and Bernie Hogan and sites such as 4chan and Reddit that view anonymity and pseudonymity as important to how people construct identity online. While much has been written about the benefits of anonymity and pseudonymity, there is a lack of published research examining specific practices enabled by pseudonyms. This article provides a detailed account of the behaviors enabled through pseudonymous identity construction through a case study of the subreddit r/gonewild. The main contribution of the article is to provide a specific account of the costs of a totalizing embrace of the “real name” Internet.
Systems approach for virtual learning development
Creators: name: Calway, Bruce A.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper synthesises various aspects of Education and Systems research (through literature survey and a limited case study and taxonomical method) with the view to a method for investigation and development of actions for problematic environments such as instructional technologies. And, to operationalise research outcomes as an on going real-world scenario. Virtual Lectures and Learning Materials (resource-based learning and Web-sites) have been extant at Swinburne University of Technology, Lilydale (SUTL) Information Systems & Computing Discipline for some years, however, such material and developments currently fail to account for systemic events like a learner centric perspective of learning. While many systems theories would account for current instructional technology development as a content driven approach to learning, what theory or theories deal with problematic scenarios caused through critical situations (radical transformation events)?
Inverse Kinematics: Cyclic Coordinate Descent

Year: 2013
Subjects: Theoretical Computer Science
Applied Computer Science

description: This article examines the popular inverse kinematic (IK) method known as cyclic coordinate descent (CCD) and its viability for creating and controlling highly articulated characters (e.g., humans and insects). The reason CCD is so popular is that it is a computationally fast, algorithmically simple, and straight-forward technique for generating IK solutions that can run at interactive frame rates. Whereas it can be relatively clear-cut to construct an IK system using CCD, we address a number of engineering solutions necessary to make the CCD technique a viable and practical method for character-based environments, such as games. We discuss implementation details, limitations (e.g., angle limits, performance tips, convergence problems, oscillation issues, and comfort factors), and their applicability to articulated configurations. Whereas a plain implementation may focus only on a single-linked chained IK problem and disregard multiple connected hierarchical goals (e.g., articulated characters), we examine both cases. We also examine why naïve constructions of the CCD algorithm can be incorrect even, though they converge on a solution. Furthermore, we discuss how the CCD algorithm can be fine-tuned to produce more natural lifelike character poses that can be used to generate realistic motions. Hence, after reading this article, the reader should have the knowledge to design and create an effective and flexible CCD implementation for real-time environments, such as games, while understanding and appreciating the limitations and hazards in a practical situation.

Unnamed track n°2 – Lapparent & Montenat 1967: 30, pl. XIII.5.
 STATUS. — Specimen here identified as G. cf. variabilis.
EXAMINED MATERIAL. — ULB-04D22_A.
DESCRIPTION
The track is tridactyl, small-sized, longer than wide, approximatively 11 cm long and 7 cm wide (Fig. 13 D-F; Table 2). Impressions of digits are elongated. The impression of digit III is the longest. At the base of the trace of digit IV, the position of the digito-metatarsal pad is more proximal than that of digit II. The divarication angle II-IV is 29°. Round to oval phalangeal pads and pointed marks of claws are commonly very well marked. Marks of claws on the traces of digits II and IV are clearly oriented outward.
REMARKS
 In their description of this track, Lapparent & Montenat (1967) considering the traces of digits II, III and IV as being parallel and of the same length. However, the reexamination of this track indicates that it matches with the ichnogenus Grallator. Despite its poor preservation, ULB-04D22_A shares some similarities with the G. variabilis ichnospecies.

Analysis of crack development, both growth and closure, in steel oxide scale under hot compression
Creators: name: Krzyzanowski, Michal

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Numerical analysis based on the finite element method allowed evaluation of conditions for crack development in oxide scale during compression in hot metal forming, particularly in the hot rolling of steel. In addition to cracks formed ahead of contact with the roll, through-thickness cracks can also occur under roll pressure within the roll gap. The modeling has revealed that sometimes cracking that started at the uppermost oxide scale layer was stopped at the thin oxide scale layer nearest to the stock surface. Alternatively, crack closure within the roll gap was possible at high temperature in places where both viscous sliding and ductile behavior of the scale were more pronounced. Many aspects of the modeling are supported by experimental observations.

Optimization of Small Hydropower in The Abbay basin
Creators: name: Adugna, Tamene
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2004

description: Although Ethiopia possesses a huge hydropower potential, the energy problem in the country is enormous. A great majority of the population in Ethiopia are dependent on traditional resources to fulfill their energy needs. Due to the poor energy supply, the people not only have to put up with an unattractive living environment but also suffer the consequences of climatic change caused by the associated environmental impacts. Numerous villages do not get electricity supply due to the scattered nature of the settlements. Therefore, the energy policy should give enough attention to decentralized systems in which small hydropower potential plays a significant role. This study considers some of the small hydropower sites in the Abbay basin and that the selection of optimum sites or the optimum level of development at the sites can be undertaken with the application of non-linear optimization techniques. The optimization has been conducted on the basis of four theoretical small hydropower systems established in the Abbay basin. Among these four, the two systems consisted of two hydropower alternatives each and the other two consisted of three hydropower alternatives each. In this thesis, Microsoft Excel 2000 solver, which uses the Generalized Reduced Gradient(GRG2) algorithm for optimizing nonlinear problems has been used. Using this optimization technique, the level of development of each of the hydropower sites has been determined. The method can also be used to select the optimum small hydropower site(s) from a number of alternatives. Further study for optimization can be conducted on renewable hybrid systems combining a decentralized energy sources for rural electrification
Wired high rise: using technology to combat social isolation on an inner city public housing estate

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The chapter poses questions about the goal of building community through the creation of local networks, using the example of an entrepreneurial scheme to create a resident-run computer network in the Atherton Gardens high-rise housing estate in inner Melbourne, Australia. The scheme stems from a social partnership between a non-profit organisation, government and community groups; the aim is to enable residents to re-enter training, employment and community activities. The first stage of the paper places the scheme in the context of broader debates on the digital divide, information poverty and social capital, drawing out existing problems in the field. The authors discuss the problems of tracking the social impact of computer networks on 'communities', especially where there is a great diversity of interest and allegiance. The Atherton Gardens Reach for the Clouds initiative exemplifies such difficulties. The chapter argues that enthusiasm for this innovative scheme should be balanced by caution in using the vocabulary of social capital and community-building. It cannot be assumed that online communication will build social connection off-line, given the diversity of interests, groups and allegiances within groups. This argument is made drawing on the initial stage of survey-based research on Atherton Gardens residents’ patterns of computer and media use, of employment and training, social connectedness, use of social services and experience of living on the estate. The authors conclude by reflecting on the broader implications of the case study for research on the social impact of computer networks on multi-ethnic populations with diverse needs, interests and allegiances.

description: Application of NAA on Carignane grapes at 70 % calyptra fall reduced berryset and weight per cluster. Crop yield per vine was decreased both by application of NAA at bloom at 10 and 25 ppm and at 2 weeks after bloom at 25 ppm. °Brix was usually increased by NAA applied at bloom or 2 weeks after bloom. However, total titratable acidity did not change as a result of NAA in any of the treatments. The looseness of clusters treated at the bloom stage tended to increase with higher levels of NAA. NAA has not been cleared for use on grapes as a thinning agent in the United States by the Environmental Protection Agency. Einfluß der Naphthylessigsäure-Behandlung auf das Ausdünnen der Trauben bei der Rebsorte Carignane Wurden die Infloreszenzen der Sorte Carignane mit NES behandelt, wenn 70 % der Calyptren abgefallen waren, so waren sowohl der Beerenansatz als auch das Gewicht je Traube herabgesetzt. Der Traubenertrag je Rebe war bei Anwendung von 10 und 25 ppm NES zur Blütezeit und ebenso bei Behandlung mit 25 ppm NES 2 Wochen nach der Blüte verringert. Die gesamte titrierbare Säure war jedoch bei keiner Variante verändert. Die durch NES-Anwendung in der Blühphase erzielte Lockerbeerigkeit der Trauben verstärkte sich durch höhere Konzentrationen. Das Umweltschutzamt der USA hat über die Zulassung von NES als Ausdünnungsmittel noch nicht entschieden.

Evaluating the effectiveness of telepresence in cultural tourism websites: panoramic virtual tours for the promotion of tourism and cultural identity in Taiwan
Creators: name: Tu, Yu-Hui
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Within the context of globalisation, cultural identity has been emphasized by nationstates to differentiate themselves from others in global tourism markets. To be successfully positioned in the competitive global marketplace, a destination must create, as its key component, a favourable and appealing perception or image. As the Internet has become the predominant channel for tourism marketing, the establishment of successful online destination images is urgently needed. Destination images and positive online experiences have been found to correlate with the decision-making and behavioural intentions of tourists. In the physical world, travelling is a direct experience enabling tourists to observe and feel the exotic atmospheres of different places. Virtual experience, the verisimilitude of direct experience, has been recognised as an effective approach in tourism marketing. Its impact on user attitudes towards a destination can be enhanced via advanced website features. Telepresence, an experience of being metaphorically transported to another place, and a sense of presence in mediated environments, may facilitate the creation of a better online experience, due to its capability of intensifying user experience in virtual environments. Researchers have indicated that telepresence has positive effects on users' attitudes toward websites. However, no empirical study has been carried out to examine the effectiveness of telepresence on tourism websites. Panoramic photography has been developed and utilised in the tourism area for many years, based on its feature of creating an interactive virtual experience. Using Taiwan as a case study, this research investigates the effects of interactivity and vividness, the major determinants of telepresence, on users' attitudes toward the website. Panoramic photography is employed as a key feature of the website, and there is a focus on Naturalistic Decision Making (NDM) theory as the guiding principle of the experiment. Two websites with different levels of interactivity and vividness are developed for the experiment (http://www.culturaltaiwan.com/high/index.php; http://www.culturaltaiwan.com/low/index.php). Users are then tested in a postexperiment questionnaire, assessing the value of attractiveness, informativeness, enjoyment, and telepresence. The results indicate that significant differences were only found in enjoyment value, which conflicts with the assertion of previous studies. It is suggested that the notion of experimental reality should be taken into consideration and that NDM may provide a useful model for application in tourism web marketing.

description: During germination and subsequent growth of seedlings of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Chenin blanc, marked changes occurred in the concentrations of the total nonprotein nitrogen fraction, amino nitrogen, and alnide nitrogen, and in the activities of ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) and arginase. The level of total nonprotein nitrogen was lower in seeds than in seedlings, with maximum concentration reached at the 3rd stage of seedling growth (10 to 15 d after germination) and thereafter declining rapidly. Changes in the concentration of amino nitrogen and amide nitrogen fractions paralleled that of the total nonprotein nitrogen. The concentration of glutalnine exceeded that of asparagine at all stages of seedling development. The presence of OTC and arginase in seeds and seedlings, as well as the parallel changes between arginase activity and concentration of free arginine, suggested that the biosynthesis and degradation of this amino acid in grapevine tissues occurs through the KREBS-HENSELEIT pathway. The MICHAELIS constant for arginase, calculated from the LINEWEAVER-BURK plot, differed in seedlings at three different stages of seedling development. Veränderungen in der Aktivität der Ornithintranscarbamylase und der Arginase sowie der Konzentration der Stickstoffverbindungen während der Keimung und der Sämlingsentwicklung von Vitis vinifera L. Im Verlauf der Keimung und des anschließenden Wachstums der Sämlinge von Vitis vinifera L., cv . Chenin blanc, traten deutliche Veränderungen in der Konzentration des gesamten nicht-proteingebundenen Stickstoffs, des Amino- und des Amidstickstoffs sowie in der Aktivität der Ornithintranscarbamylase (OTC) und der Arginase auf. Die Samen besaßen einen niedrigeren Gehalt an gesamtem nicht-proteingebundenem Stickstoff als die Sämlinge, wobei die maximale Konzentration im 3. Stadium des Sämlingswachstums erreicht wurd~ (10-15 d nach der Keimung); danach nahm sie rasch ab. Die Verschiebungen in der Konzentration des Amino- und Amidstickstoffs verliefen parallel zu den Konzentrationsänderungen des gesamten nichtproteingebundenen Stickstoffs. In allen Stadien der Sämlingsentwicklung lag die Glutamin- über der Asparaginkonzentration. Das Vorkommen von OTC und Arginase in Samen und Sämlingen sowie die parallelen Veränderungen von Arginaseaktivität und Konzentration des freien Arginins la~sen vermuten, daß die Biosynthese und der Abbau dieser Aminosäure im Rebengewebe über den KREBS-HENSELEIT-Cyklus ablaufen. In den Sämlingsstadien 3, 4 und 5 wurden - nach LINEWEAVER-BURK - unterschiedliche MICHAELIS Konstanten der Arginase ermittelt.

Year: 2016

description: A morphological analysis using transmission and scanning electron microscopy was carried out about the mycorrhizal roots of grapevine, grown in the field. Only the most common features of the endophyte, i.e. intercellular hyphae and arbuscules, were studied. The intercellular hyphae spreading the infection showed a protoplasm endowed with nuclei, mitochondria, vacuoles with dense globules and bacteria-like microorganisms. After the penetration inside the host cell, many fungal branches were found. The so formed arbuscule filled up the whole cortical cell. The different stages of the arbuscular deterioration were observed and described. The infected host cell showed beyond the usual organelles plastids with starch in close contact with the endophyte. Quelques caractéristiques ultrastructurelles des mycorrhizes du type vésiculaire arbusculaire de la vigne On a étudié au moyen de microscopes electroniques à transmission et à balayage la morphologie de racines mycorrhizées prélevées dans les vignobles. L'attention a été concentrée sur les formes les plus répandues de l'endophyte, c'est-à-dire les hyphes intercellulaires et les arbuscules. Les hyphes intercellulaires, qui transmettent l'infection, ont un protoplasme muni de noyaux, de mitochondries, de vacuoles avec des globules sombres aux électrons et des micro-organismes semblables à des bactéries. A la suite de la pénétration dans la cellule de la plante-hôte, l'hyphe forme plusieures branches. L'arbuscule ainsi formé remplit complètement la cellule corticale. On a pu observer et décrire les différentes phases de dégradation de l'arbuscule. Les cellules de l'hôte infectées montrent outre les organelles normales des plastides avec de l'amidon en contact étmit avec l'endophyte.

The efiect of pH on esters and quality of Colombar wine during maturation
Creators: name: Marais, J.
Publisher: name: VITIS - Journal of Grapevine Research
Year: 2016

description: The effect of several pH values upon esters and quality of a Colombar wine was studied at various times and temperatures. The decreases of the acetate ester concentrations were considerably more marked than that of the ethyl esters, especially at the low pH. Increases in diethyl succinate occurred, especially at the low pH. Wine quality did not follow a trend similar to that of the esters. The appearance of a maturation bouquet simultaneously with the disappearance of varietal character appeared to be possible cause for this finding. Der Einfluß des pH-Wertes auf die Ester und die Qualität von Colombar-Wein während der Flaschenreifung Der Einfluß verschiedener pH-Werte auf die Esterkonzentration und auf das Ergebnis der sensorischen Qualitätsbeurteilung wurde in Beziehung zur Lagerdauer und -temperatur untersucht. Bei den Acetatestern war, vor allem im niedrigsten pH-Bereich, eine auffälligere Konzentrationsabnahme als bei den Äthylestern zu verzeichnen. Das Diäthylsuccinat nahm zu, insbesondere beim niedrigsten pH-Wert. Die Weinqualität veränderte sich nicht gleichsinnig mit den Konzentrationsverschiebungen bei den Estern. Eine Ursache für diesen Befund könnte im Auftreten eines Reifearomas und dem gleichzeitigen Verschwinden des Sortencharakters zu suchen sein.

description: Der Föderalismus hat in Zeiten der Corona-Pandemie in der deutschen Öffentlichkeit nicht die beste Presse. Die Ministerpräsidentenkonferenz ist mittlerweile zum Sinnbild deutscher Uneinigkeit und Unentschlossenheit geworden. Sehnsucht nach zentralistischer Machtkonzentration gab es schon immer; in Krisenzeiten werden die Stimmen aber lauter. Was ist dran an der aktuellen Föderalismusskepsis? Was funktioniert in anderen Bundesstaaten besser und warum? Haben zentralistisch organisierte Staaten wirklich ein besseres Krisenmanagement? Darüber spricht Max Steinbeis mit FRANCESCO PALERMO, Professor für Vergleichendes Verfassungsrecht an der Universität Verona und Leiter des Instituts für Föderalismusforschung am EURAC Research Center in Bozen.

OVERALL ASSESSMENT OF PHYSICAL FITNESS IN CHILDREN WITH MENTAL RETARDATION IN THE TEST "EUROFIT SPECIAL"
Creators: name: Prystupa Tetyana
name: Bolach Bartosz
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2013
Subjects: Education

description: Purpose. The aim of this research was to assess general extensive physical efficiency in children suffering from moderate mental disability with the use of “Eurofit Special” tests, and to compare general extensive physical efficiency and its components in the aspect of sexual dimorphism (Rohrer index). The research presents the problem of mental imparity (epidemiology, classification) and the issue of extensive physical efficiency. Material, methods. The research included 52 pupils (25 girls and 27 boys, aged 10-14) from Wroclaw Centre of Education and Rehabilitation of the Disabled. Results. The results of the tests proved the existence of differences in somatic body constitution of boys and girls. However, statistically significant differences between the “Eurofit Special” test results were not observed with reference to children’s sex or the correlation between somatic constitution and achieved results. Conclusions. Somatic constitution of boys and girls aged between 10 and 14 was clearly different, and most visible in the average values of Rohrer’s index, with these values being higher among girls.
A laser micromachined polymer microphone
Creators: name: Raicevich, George
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The Braunmuhl-Weber microphone design, patented in 1935, is often used for studio microphones since directionality can be changed electrically. Materials, construction and machining methods have changed little since the patent date. The backplate is drilled, limiting how small each hole can be made. This leads to microphone noise problems through increased acoustic resistance from the remaining surfaces and the loss of electrode area. Tensioned diaphragms decrease the available compliance and microphone sensitivity. The goal of this work is to develop a new condenser studio microphone that exceeded the performance of the best commercial studio microphones used as benchmarks. Electroacoustic modelling aided the understanding of microphone behaviour and allowed more efficient optimization of microphone performance. Model performance was optimized for sensitivity, self-noise, and directivity (the sound pick-up pattern). Excimer laser micromachining extends the performance of the microphone by forming smaller and denser backplate holes that lower acoustic impedance and microphone self-noise. Direct write lithography allows patterning of the diaphragm electrode for lower parasitic capacitance. The physical format of the microphone would have been impossible to produce using conventional microphone manufacturing methods. By using Mylar® instead of the more traditional brass, it is shown microphone parts can be micromachined less expensively and more easily. Microphone performance was further improved by introducing design changes: the symmetric microphone arrangement, operation of the diaphragm in plate mode and elimination of the backplate blind-holes by careful optimization. Diaphragm compliance and microphone sensitivity increased when external diaphragm tension was removed to allow the diaphragm to behave as a plate. A symmetric microphone design doubles the available capsule capacitance, shunting more preamplifier input-current noise to create a quieter microphone. Symmetrical outerplates also balance the diaphragm electrostatic collapsing force to allow the use of a zero-tension diaphragm. A comparison of measured performance for the laser micromachined prototype and benchmark commercial studio microphones showed the superior sensitivity of the prototype performance, 55mV/Pa, compared to 18mV/Pa for benchmark microphones. Measured self-noise and directivity were as good as the studio microphones (Neumann TLM103) with 7 to 9 dBA SPL equivalent noise referred to input. The prototype performance greatly exceeded that of silicon micromachined microphones. The prototype high frequency response fell short at 15 kHz limited by excessive diaphragm radius. Symmetric microphone outerplates were prone to moisture ingress which was solved using a capsule heater and protective covers. Australian and U.S. patents were granted for the microphone design developed in this work.
Broadband: towards understanding users
Creators: name: Barr, Trevor
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper suggests that the forgotten domain of the complex and vigorous debates about the future of higher speed broadband in Australia is the experience and expectations of users and consumers with broadband. Research to date about such user experiences, especially in Australia, has essentially concentrated on Internet services and mainly with narrowband users. Yet Internet is not broadband. We, in Australia, have much to learn from recent European experiences with broadband. The paper examines four factors that are driving user take up of broadband: new convergent consumer models of service provision; user-led innovations facilitated through vehicles such as You Tube and My Space that need faster upload and download speeds; successful models of collective ownership building community services; and burgeoning specialised attractive new institutional services, such as the revolution in broadband services now offered by the British Library. Factors such as these are part of new forces at work in driving the recent impressive uptake of broadband services in Europe. A ‘tipping point’ appears to have been reached. A call is made here for new kinds of research investigations, in both international and Australian contexts, to investigate new service options for broadband consumers and related consumer responses.
