description: The mollusk "Anadara tuberculosa (Sowerby, 1833) (Arcidae)", known in Ecuador with the common name of "Concha Prieta", in Mexico as the clam "Pata de Mula", in France with the name "Arche Noire" and in England as "Blood Cockle", is a mangrove bivalve exploited all along the Pacific coast. It is a species with great possibilities for fishing development. In its adult phase, it lives only in mangrove swamps, always associated with the red mangrove "Rhizophora mangle" in the intertidal zone, where it grows almost completely buried in the mud. In Colombia, where it is called "Piangua", it is one of the most exploited bivalve species on the Pacific coast. The artisanal activity which benefits the communities is usually performed by families that collect these mollusks for food or to commercialize them in the local market. Currently, the resource, besides being used for consumption and local commerce, is being exported from Colombia to Ecuador. In Ecuador, a constant extraction has been maintained during the period 2004-2008, with an estimated total landing of 55.3 million shells among all receiving ports. In the Province of El Oro, the extraction and commercialization of Anadara tuberculosa is an economic activity with low performance and absence of added value in the production chain. The objective of this research is to explore the problem of agribusiness in the value chain of the bivalve mollusk Anadara tuberculosa. Specifically, to establish its possible causes and consequences, as part of a broader research oriented towards the development of an agribusiness management model that promotes its sustainable exploitation and entry into international markets, in particular the European market, in which consumers of Latin American origin, represent a segment that could be interested in its intake, complying with the added value standards and quality required.

Automated unit testing of agent systems
Creators: name: Zhang, Zhiyong
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Agent technology has been increasingly used for building sophisticated applications. Agents are autonomous and complex, making their correctness difficult to be verified. Although there has been some work on testing some aspects of an agent system, there is a lack of research for comprehensively testing an agent system automatically from a low-level stage.
This thesis explores an approach for automatically testing agent systems. In the approach an automated testing framework has been developed to allow for completely automated unit testing of an agent system, from generation of test cases, through automated implementation of test harnesses, running of test cases and production of a detailed report. Following the principle of model based testing, the approach tests each unit in the agent system against its details as specified in the unit’s design descriptor, which is part of the AOSE (Agent Oriented Software Engineering) design model of the system. An algorithm has been developed to comprehensively generate test case inputs taking into account value ranges of, and relationships between input variables. Test cases are executed to detect potential faults in a unit under test, based on a fault model we have developed that describes possible problems in different kind of units. Although test cases are generated automatically, we also allow for adding manual test cases with particular values to verify certain situations.
The evaluation results have shown that the tool can reveal previously unidentified problems in a system under test. Some of these problems cause substantial but difficult to detect errors at runtime. Some of the faults detected are false positives, however most of these can be avoided or can come with more precise notifications with the improvements of our testing framework.

Notes.
 Didymella pomorum was introduced as Phoma pomorum before the comprehensive revision of Didymellaceae (Chen et al. 2015 a). Chen et al. (2015 a) regarded four taxa of the respective Phoma pomorum varieties, viz. vars. circinata (CBS 285.76), cyanea (CBS 388.80) and pomorum (CBS 539.66) and the species Ph. triticina (CBS 354.52) to be conspecific and treated them as a single species D. pomorum. Pycnidia produced by this species are usually subglobose-ampulliform with a distinct ostiole (Boerema 1993). It can cause leaf spots on many plants (Boerema 1993; Romero et al. 2021). In the present study, one isolate from diseased tea plant leaves is closely related to D. sinensis with high statistical support (Fig. 2). This is the first report of D. pomorum isolated from C. sinensis.

Deterioration prediction of community buildings in Australia
Creators: name: Mohseni, Hessam
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Local government infrastructure assets in Australia represent a vast investment built up over many generations. The $15 billion value of community buildings ranks them as the second largest class of infrastructure assets managed by local councils in Australia. Buildings are complex assets, where the large number of elements and deterioration regimes complicate the process. Reliable deterioration prediction of building infrastructure enables local government asset managers to plan and manage the projected expenditures throughout the life cycle of elements of the infrastructure. The research study presented here is funded by the ARC Linkage project scheme with six local government councils as partners. The thesis explores a best practice asset management framework and the gaps identified in the current project partners’ practice in deterioration prediction models and decision making process. The subsequent research focussed on deterioration forecasting and cost optimisation for community buildings using discrete condition data collected by local councils.

The major challenge in deterioration forecasting with condition data is the high variability of data. Several deterministic and reliability-based methods were considered during the literature research and the Markov Process was selected as the base model. A building hierarchy including almost 400 elements was selected to represent each of the community buildings.

Current practice in building asset management was captured through a number of research visits to the partner councils. Currently available condition data were compiled, analysed and mapped to five condition states. Wherever possible, the data were linked to the hierarchical structure of building elements.

The data were then used to derive transition matrices to define the Markov Chain for building the deterioration process. Derivation of the matrices was found challenging with a number of standard methods indicating poor convergence. A new method for calibration of transition matrices entitled “Direct Absolute Value Difference” has been developed and shown to improve the accuracy of the prediction by almost 25% when validated using an independent set of data.

In order to utilise the developed models in sustainable financial planning, a cost optimisation method was developed and the application of the method is demonstrated using one type of building elements: ceilings of community buildings. In addition, a probabilistic risk-cost projection methodology is introduced and developed, which considers component groups of the building hierarchy.

Finally, an algorithm for a user-friendly software tool has been developed to integrate the system hierarchy, condition data registry, deterioration forecasting and risk-cost optimisation.

description: In this paper, the assessment of existing theoretical models for the vibrational state-resolved Zeldovich exchange reaction is carried out on the basis of comparison with the results of several quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) calculations. An error in the theoretical model proposed by Aliat is corrected; after correction this model provides a very good agreement with the QCT reaction rate coefficients. Then the model is further generalized in order to take into account the vibrational state of the reaction product, namely, of the NO molecule which is formed as a result of the Zeldovich reaction. The generalized rate coefficients are in fairly good agreement with the QCT results in the whole range of temperatures and vibrational states of both reagents and products. Using the non-equilibrium Boltzmann distribution we study the multi-temperature reaction rate coefficients, obtained by averaging the state-specific ones. The effect of the vibrational temperature of the reaction product is evaluated. It is shown that variation of the NO vibrational temperature does not affect significantly the rate coefficients. Thus both commonly used assumptions that NO molecules are produced either in thermal equilibrium or in the ground state are valid for simulations of non-equilibrium high-temperature flows.

description: This paper presents the first experiments performed at the LAERTE facility (ONERA - Palaiseau Center) with a plasma/injection module flush-mounted in the LAPCAT2 Dual Mode Scramjet combustor. Experiments were performed with Mach 2.0 nozzle at plenum stagnation temperature of dry air (T0) of 270 K, plenum stagnation pressure (P0) of 0.21 MPa, air mass flow rate of 405 g/s. A multi-electrode quasi-DC discharge was generated 20 mm upstream from the fuel injection ports. The experiments were performed without and with hydrogen injection (hydrogen H2 mass flow rate 1.0 g/s, fuel-air equivalence ratio ER=0.114). The behaviour of the discharge was strongly modified at the presence of the hydrogen injection (smaller discharge area than in pure air, plasma power of 1.5 kW instead of 7.4 kW). When plasma is generated in the hydrogen/air mixture, a significant pressure increase is observed along the combustor which is possibly due to supersonic combustion. With the same combustor without the plasma assistance, a total air temperature around 1500 K is necessary to reach hydrogen self-ignition conditions.

description: In this paper optimal bi-impulse orbital transfer between coplanar elliptical orbits has been considered. First, an effective algorithm has been developed to find the global solution. In this algorithm, we have three independent parameters. These parameters are i) the angular position of the point on the initial orbit that the first impulse is applied, ii) the angular position of the point on the final orbit that the second impulse is applied and, iii) the semi-latus rectum of the transfer orbit. The other needed parameters can be obtained from these three parameters. By mean of our algorithm, we obtain a rapid and meticulous global solution for any arbitrary elliptical orbits. Actually, we employed the algorithm to solve a wide set of numerical examples, including co-axial and non-co-axial, similar and different shape and/or energy for the initial and final orbit. This wide set of examples allowed us to disentangle the roles of each orbital parameter, such as eccentricity, energy, and argument of periapsis, in the evaluation of the optimal transfer.
The forensic wall: how ambiguity and affinity are enacted to perform interaction design
Creators: name: Yuille, Jeremy
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Through a methodology incorporating design practice, studies and exploration (Fallman
2008), this research has examined the emergent field of interaction design.

Integrating discourse and literature from both academic and professional arenas with critical reflection on two projects for clients and one self-initiated project, I propose a model of how interaction designers work with artifacts, spaces and people to design for the intangible material of experience.

I bring together theories of perception and experience (Dewey 1934, Merleau Ponty 1945/1962), enaction and distributed cognition (Hutchins 2005, 2011), design practice (Schön 1983, Löwgren & Stolterman 2008), and performativity (Austin 1962) to reframe interaction design as a set of practices that draw on the designer’s ability to perform ambiguity and perceive affinity between different elements and stages of a design process.

This research contributes to the understanding of interaction design practice in the following ways: I bring professional and academic perspectives together to present a interaction design practice as being made up of pragmatic, critical, and enterprising approaches to performative ambiguity.

I illustrate how interaction designers modulate their ability to perceive similarities: seeking, spotting and making affinity between elements in a design situation.

I identify and name a key site and method for this performance of design: the Forensic Wall.

Finally, I reflect on these discoveries and propose that designers perform design by choosing to excise or exercise ambiguity in the situation of concern.

Notes.
 Isolates of Epicoccum latusicollum were clustered into a sister clade to E. poaceicola and E. sorghi (Fig. 3). Pycnidia were black-brown and mostly spheroid and conidia were ellipsoidal to oblong, aseptate and hyaline (Chen et al. 2017; Li et al. 2023). It was first discovered from Acer palmatum (Aceraceae), Camellia sinensis (Theaceae), Podocarpus macrophyllus (Podocarpaceae) and Vitex negundo (Verbenaceae) (Chen et al. 2017). As a phytopathogen, it can cause leaf spot, leaf blight and stalk rot on many plants (Xu et al. 2022; Li et al. 2023; Wang et al. 2023). In the present study, three strains were isolated from healthy tea plant leaves.

description: Radio astronomy from 100 kHz to 30 MHz allows compelling science that requires a new space based interferometer at a considerable distance from the Earth. We propose a new satellite concept which has a series of dipole antennas connected to the satellite using tethers. Power over fibre is used to transfer power to the remote antenna units and digital radio over fibre is used to transport the astronomical signal back to the satellite. This approach allows launching an interferometer using only one satellite, and it allows scaling by using multiple satellites. In this paper, the overall preliminary system concept is presented.
Dynamically reconfigurable metamaterials using pneumatics, flexibility and structural nonlinearity
Creators: name: Khodasevych, Iryna
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Metamaterials are composites consisting of sub‐wavelength resonant elements aiming to manipulate the material's electromagnetic properties. One of the advantages of artificially created materials over natural materials is the possibility to custom design and tune their properties as one desires. Metamaterials continue to draw the attention of the research community as new and significantly enhanced phenomena associated with them are discovered. Significant effort has also been devoted to integrating them with existing structures for potential applications in sensing, defence and next generation devices. Due to the resonant nature of the metamaterial elements, the desired properties are achieved only within a narrow frequency band. For various applications, it is desirable to be able to tune their frequency response. Although the connection between the modification of geometry of the resonators and resultant variations in their response individually and as an effective media has been extensively studied, the area of dynamic tuning could benefit from further investigation. The major contribution made by this work includes investigation of real time tuning possibilities and developing new approaches for altering the shapes and orientations of metamaterial resonators, post fabrication, as means of widening flexibility in the design and improving variety of responses. A novel pneumatic switching approach is demonstrated for alteration of the shape of the resonators via addition or retraction of pneumatic elements, as well as application of this method to the realisation of a switchable graded index lens. Further, suspended resonators with mechanical degrees of freedom have been realised which allow shifts in their position and orientation leading to nonlinear effects. A new microfabricated mesh substrate with significantly reduced mass was developed. Embedding resonators into elastic substrates has also been explored for stretching and conformal adhesion purposes. Most of the work is for metamaterials operating in the microwave frequency range (GHz), except elastic metamaterial intended for far infrared (THz) frequencies. In summary, metamaterial tuning approaches have been extended to dynamic manipulation of both shape and orientation of resonators providing greater flexibility and control over effective material parameters.

The simulations are based on the known model of Avinash, Bhattacharjee and Hu of formation of a void in a dusty plasma flow. The model has been reduced to the divergent form and two algorithms of first and second orders for calculations have been suggested. The Lax\'s scheme and the complex conservative difference scheme have been used for the first and second order for the hydrodynamic part of the model. Results on the dynamics of voids have been obtained at the stage of circular ring structure generation and at the final stage of a steady round void formation. Behaviour of the defining flow parameters has been obtained up to the steady dusty plasma flow mode. Description of the experimental installations for investigations of dusty plasma moving and unmoving flows and generation of structures in these flows has been presented.

REFORM: A framework for malware packer analysis using information theory and statistical methods
Creators: name: Sun, Li
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Malware (malicious software) is a term used to describe computer viruses, Trojan horses, and other pieces of software that are used to attack computer systems. The increasing outbreak of malware in recent years poses a serious security threat to computer networks.

Malware writers often obfuscate malware to hinder malware scanners from malicious code detection, i.e., to hide the fact that the software is actually malicious. Packing is the most common obfuscation method used by malware writers. Recently, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of new packers and variants of existing ones. Moreover, packers are employing increasingly sophisticated anti-unpacker tricks and obfuscation methods.

Identifying a packer and obtaining a sample of unpacked malware are important to AV (Anti-virus) researchers who work on updating antivirus software to defend against malware, so that they can perform in-depth analysis. However, packer analysis is a technically intense research task, requiring the AV experts' deep knowledge of hardware, operating systems, compilers and programming languages. The significant growth of packers, in both number and complexity, prevents AV researchers from carrying out their daily AV research work efficiently and effectively.

This PhD project has investigated the common features of packers and presented a novel, fast yet effective packer analysis framework called REFORM (Reverse Engineering For Obfuscation ReMoval). The system applies various technologies including reverse engineering, compression algorithms and statistical methods to de-obfuscate packers.

REFORM is comprised of three major components that solve the problem of automatic packer analysis at three important stages of the packer analysis life cycle, namely packer detection, packer identification and unpacking, respectively: (1) It incorporates a novel randomness test that preserves local detail in the packer. This makes it easy for an AV researcher to distinguish areas of compressed/encrypted data from other code and data. (2) Using the above randomness test, each packer is seen to exhibit a unique pattern in its randomness distribution. The REFORM framework therefore provides an extremely effective packer classification model based on a set of randomness measurements generated from a packed file. Various statistical classifiers have also been integrated in REFORM to achieve even better classification performance. (3) REFORM enables an efficient generic unpacking strategy which uses an ordered address execution histogram to capture the memory after the unpacking loop has executed.

We demonstrate REFORM 's capability on speeding up packer detection, identification and unpacking procedures. Such an automatic system is shown in the thesis to be essential to keeping up with the accelerating growth in packed malware.

description: A possible system suited for Just-In Time Collision Avoidance (JCA) is a cloud that will drag down the passing object because of the local higher density. The sudden deceleration experienced by the debris will after a few revolutions ensure a consistent deviation from its nominal trajectory and therefore will permit a safe reduction of any collision risk with other objects. This article first introduces a feasibility study of such a system, using as baseline an SRM and then enlarges the study to an enhanced system.

Liberation spirituality is a framework proposed by Joel Kovel which has at its heart connects emancipation and spirituality. My first chapter outlines my research approach. Chapter two explores the diversity and complexity of spiritual meanings, examines the influence of the western context on spirituality, analyses the relationship between language and spirituality, and outlines my assumptions in relation to spirituality. Chapter three examines the historical and social context influencing social workers' engagement with spiritual issues. It also explores the engagement of current social work literature with issues of spirituality. Chapters four and five consider distinctions between critical social work in the modernist tradition, and critical postmodern social work. This establishes why critical postmodern social work approaches are more suited to engage with spiritual issues. The conceptual connection between critical postmodern social work and liberation spirituality is explored in chapter six and chapter seven. The latter in particular includes a detailed examination of the relationship between emancipatory politics and spirituality. The thesis concludes in chapter eight by analysing implications of this conceptual connection.

description: This paper prepares a practitioners\' guide towards the development and application of a proposed space-based sustainable management systems (S-b SMS). This proposed management system framed in the context of sustainability, reinforces the challenging case to adopt cost effective sustainable solutions; which are highly demanded in the aerospace industry. Considering the strengthening of mutual sustainable development policies and promotion of energy efficient operation for industrial applications, the aviation industry has proven to succeed in distinctive measures. In spite of this progress, the incessant international initiatives towards achieving sustainable competitiveness, with emphasize of astrospace contribution; calls for added innovative measures. This exploration of various reality driven scenarios and possibilities for application of Scientific methodologies pinpoints future research agendas for the S-b SMS initiative. The extended outcome includes a coverage of trivial priorities: economic, energy, and environment issues based on a holistic contribution from other practitioners during the initial and mid-phase of the S-b SMS discussion. The highlighted possibilities for S-b SMS underlines a collaborative research engagement towards sustainable space-based innovation. Mainly, fostering a management system or planning framework that befits the parameters of widely recognized climate policies, organization protocols, and sustainable agendas.
title: Efficiency in indirect inference
Creators: name: Gach, Florian
Year: 2010

description: Es seien $X_{1},\ldots,X_{n}$ unabhängige, identisch verteilte Zufallsvariablen, und es liege ein (möglicherweise misspezifiziertes) parametrisches Modell mit Parameterraum $\Theta\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{m}$ vor. In dieser Arbeit erweitern wir die `Indirect Inference'-Methode durch Verwendung nicht-parametrischer Auxiliarmodelle. Dazu definieren wir den sogenannten auxiliaren Maximum-Likelihood-Schätzer $\hat{p}_{n}$ als Maximierer der Likelihood-Funktion über das gewählte Auxiliarmodell. Für Daten $X_{1}(\theta),\ldots,X_{k(n)}(\theta)$, die nach dem gegebenen Modell simuliert werden, definieren wir analog $\tilde{p}_{k(n)}(\theta)$ als Maximierer der entsprechenden Likelihood-Funktion. Wir zeigen zunächst, dass $\hat{p}_{n}$ und $\tilde{p}_{k(n)}(\theta)$ existieren und eindeutig sind, und definieren dann $\hat{\theta}_{n,k(n)}$ als Minimierer einer geeignet gewichteten $L^{2}$-Distanz zwischen $\hat{p}_{n}$ und $\tilde{p}_{k}(\theta)$. Wir beweisen, dass $\hat{\theta}_{n,k(n)}$ asymptotisch normalverteilt ist, so $k(n)$ von der Ordnung $n^{2+\alpha}$ mit $\alpha>0$ gewählt wird. Weiters zeigen wir, dass $\hat{\theta}_{n,k(n)}$ asymptotisch effizient ist, wenn das gegebene Modell korrekt spezifiert ist. Darüber hinaus untersuchen wir das asymptotische Verhalten von $\hat{\theta}_{n,k(n)}$ unter beliebigen konvergenten Parameterfolgen und erhalten wiederum asymptotische Effizienz. Schließlich zeigen wir, dass die auxiliaren Maximum-Likelihood-Schätzer Lösungen von endlich-dimensionalen Gleichungssystemen sind, was deren Berechnung ermöglicht.
description: We extend the method of indirect inference by using \emph{non-parametric} auxiliary models of densities. Suppose we observe i.i.d.~random variables $X_{1},\ldots,X_{n}$ and are given a (possibly misspecified) parametric model with parameter set $\Theta\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{m}$. The auxiliary maximum likelihood estimator given $X_{1},\ldots,X_{n}$ is defined as the maximizer of the auxiliary likelihood function and is denoted by $\hat{p}_{n}$. Similarly, for data $X_{1}(\theta),\ldots,X_{k(n)}(\theta)$ that are simulated according to the parametric model, define $\tilde{p}_{k(n)}(\theta)$ as the maximizer of the corresponding auxiliary likelihood function. We show that $\hat{p}_{n}$ and $\tilde{p}_{k(n)}(\theta)$ are unique, thereby allowing to define an indirect inference estimator $\hat{\theta}_{n,k(n)}$ as minimizer of an appropriately weighted $L^{2}$-distance between $\hat{p}_{n}$ and $\tilde{p}_{k(n)}(\theta)$. We prove that $\hat{\theta}_{n,k(n)}$ is asymptotically normal if $k(n)$ is chosen of order $n^{2+\alpha}$ for some $\alpha>0$; and that it is asymptotically efficient under correct specification of the parametric model. We also investigate the asymptotic behaviour of $\hat{\theta}_{n,k(n)}$ under convergent sequences of parameters and again obtain asymptotic efficiency. Finally, we show that the auxiliary maximum likelihood estimators are solutions of finite-dimensional systems of equations, thereby suggesting how to compute them.

description: The present work aims at the prediction of high frequency combustion instabilities in cryogenic rocket engines using Large Eddy Simulation (LES). The sub-scale rocket combustor BKD from DLR has 42 coaxial injectors fed with liquid oxygen and gaseous hydrogen operating at conditions representative of full-scale engines. The combustor is found to be stable for low hydrogen injection temperatures and unstable for higher ones. The LES solver is first validated on the Mascotte test-bench from ONERA. Two BKD cases are then simulated, corresponding to naturally stable and unstable regimes in the experiment. The recent progresses and results are described and analyzed.
