Modelling lignin depolymerisation using size exclusion chromatography
Creators: name: Ziebell, Angela Louise
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Lignin, the second most abundant polymer in nature, has a significant role to play in the move from petrochemical refinery to biorefinery. However, before that can occur an economically and environmentally sustainable method must be found to depolymerise the recalcitrant polymer into useful monomers. Using steam exploded, hydrolysis lignin from sugar cane bagasse this project investigated the size changes seen in lignin in response to specific variables. Variables investigated are pH, time of UV light exposure, titanium dioxide photocatalyst type (P25, PF2 and Cyc1) and concentration, as well as iron, manganese and hydrogen peroxide concentration. A high through-put, experimental design approach was developed in conjunction with a new aqueous (1:1 H2O:methanol) size exclusion chromatography (SEC) method using a short format (10 i.d. x 100 mm), methacrylate column (PL Rapide™ Aqua L). High salt (0.2 mol/L NaCl and 0.2 mol/L KSCN, pH 7.3) was used to minimise non-size based separation mechanisms, such as, hydrophobic and stationary phase interactions and aggregation of lignin. The resultant data was subjected to multiple regression analysis and models were constructed to quantitate the effect of each variable studied. Creating models represents a user friendly way of interpreting large amounts of data and can be used whether a traditional matrix or experimental design approach has been taken. Lignin depolymerisation chemistry is particularly suited to this approach as large data sets often result which are difficult to interpret. This work is the first known attempt to model size changes in lignin. Six models were constructed for each of four systems: a no-catalyst system and three containing titanium dioxide catalysts - P25 (Degussa), PF2 (Degussa) and Cyc1(Chengyin). Each of the six models applies to a different molecular weight range. The interaction between iron and hydrogen was found to be synergistic for PF2 and the interaction between catalyst concentration and iron was found to be antagonistic for Cyc1. For comparison between models the relative success of each model is expressed as R2 adj (adjusted R2). One P25 model (MW = 800) explains over 70 % of the variation seen on treatment of the lignin. The no-catalyst samples generated very poor models, the most variation explained is 34 %. Ultimately, the models show that, on treatment of hydrolysis lignin with different levels of UV-mediated titanium dioxide photocatalyst, iron, manganese, hydrogen peroxide and UV light, lignin depolymerisation can be modelled. However, is this case, the success of the modelling varies greatly depending on the titanium catalyst being modelled. At least three monomer-like compounds were formed, no relationship between the condition they form in and the variables used was found. Finally, evidence was found that some of the treatments actually cause polymerisation; this was possibly due to the formation of carbonium ions during the radical reaction processes.

description: A simple and practical microwave irradiation synthetic strategy for preparation of catalyst nanostructured NiFe2O4@SiO2PrA/PC-Ni(II) was developed. The preparation of imidazole derivatives by using this catalyst in the reaction medium is much easier, faster, higher yields, simple separation of products and pure products. The structure of NiFe2O4@SiO2PrA/PC-Ni(II) was characterized by various analyses such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), magnetic properties by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The pure products were identified and characterized by physical and spectroscopic data such as melting point, IR and 1H NMR techniques.

description: Streams and rivers are examples of vital ecosystems that frequently undergo various environmental and anthropogenic stresses. A core question in population ecology is whether a given population will persist under changing ecological conditions. This thesis consists of three papers and is devoted to the mathematical analysis of responses of river-dwelling species to population persistence threats. The first paper presents a stochastic approach to the 'drift paradox' problem, where the classical reaction-advection-diffusion model is replaced by a birth-death-emigration process. We explore the effects of temporally varying flow on the persistence probability and highlight the importance of the benthic stage for the persistence of stream organisms. The second paper addresses the problem of river network fragmentation through disconnecting structures such as dams. We construct a population matrix model that incorporates the spatial structure of the studied river network and compare structural connectivity to an indicator of population persistence. The third paper adapts the same basic matrix model to examine fish response to disturbances travelling downstream from upstream sites. The study of these three aspects of persistence challenges for river populations contributes to the cumulative effects assessment on river networks.

Document Analysis

description: This study investigates ‘how men knitting functions as a queer pedagogy’. In the doing it recognizes that a man knitting elbows his way into long-held contrived conventions of (domestic) femininity, queering space and generally causing embarrassment and a sense of cultural unease through his performance. As a work of educational research (situated within a Society, Culture, and Literacies profile) it is intent on troubling lingering gender-based notions of in/appropriate educational research and what remains academically out-of-bounds: knitting as domestic diversion has largely been neglected by scholars with the few academic sources focusing almost exclusively (and unapologetically) on female knitters. As such, the pedagogical meaning(s) of men knitting are essentially absent from the educational literature. This research project seeks to address that gap. Taking the form of three journal articles, this work reads the everyday performance of men knitting as queer pedagogy, learning which ‘minces’ and troubles not only masculinity but traditional constructions of educational discourse limiting pedagogy to classrooms and accredited educators. Using personal narrative and a methodology which brings together document analysis and queer theory, this study interrogates photographic and other artifacts through a queer lens, destabilizing meaning(s) and problematizing gender. It recognizes that leisure activities like knitting, as with other human activities, are by-products of the culture where they’re re/produced and a reflection of broader societal boundaries. ‘Men knitting as a queer pedagogy,’ is about gendered desires, anxieties, and places where critical dissatisfactions with culture gets performed in other/ed ways.

description: The aim of this PhD thesis is to explore human nature experiences, particularly marine mammal experiences. The ecopsychological premise is that reciprocity in human-nature interactions is necessary for flourishing. A phenomenological methodological approach allows exploration of meanings, emotions and connectedness through qualitative and quantitative analyses using interviews, short responses and questionnaires. The results indicate that people who have had marine mammal experiences are more likely to report increased wellbeing, nature connectedness, environmental behavior and an increased sense of awareness and perspective. More importantly this thesis illuminates how wildlife experiences can challenge the overriding anthropocentric worldview and encourage an ecocentric perspective.

description: Background: Injectable opioid agonist treatment (iOAT) was designed as a pragmatic and compassionate approach for people who have not benefitted from medication assisted treatment with oral opioids (e.g., methadone). While, a substantial body of clinical trial evidence has demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of iOAT, considerably less is known about the patient-centered aspects of this treatment and their role in self-reported treatment goals and outcomes. The aim of this study was to explore participants’ experiences in iOAT as they broadly relate to the domains of patient-centered care. A secondary goal was to explore how these experiences affected participants’ self-reported treatment outcomes. Methods: A qualitative methodology, and constructivist grounded theory approach, was used to guide sampling, data collection and analysis. A total of 30 in-depth interviews were conducted with people receiving iOAT in North America’s first clinic. Audio-recordings for each semi-structured interview were transcribed and read repeatedly. The strategy of constant comparison was used through iterative stages of line-by-line, focused and theoretical coding until theoretical saturation was achieved. Results: “Building healthcare provider relationships for patient-centered care in iOAT” was the emergent core concept. Healthcare provider relationships were established through two interrelated processes: ‘Opening up’ was attributed to the positive environment, and to feeling understood and supported by healthcare providers. ‘Being a part of care’ emerged as participants felt safe to ask for what was needed and had opportunities to collaborate in treatment decisions. These processes established a foundation in which participants experienced care that was responsive to their individual dose, health and psychosocial needs. Conclusions: The core concept suggested that therapeutic relationships were fundamental to experiences of patient-centered care in iOAT. When relationships were respectful and understanding, participants received individualized and holistic care in iOAT. These findings offer a valuable example of how therapeutic relationships can be strengthened in other substance use treatment settings, particularly when responding to the diverse treatment needs of clients.

description: Um modellbasierte Prognosen von Antifouling-Wirkstoffeinträgen durch Sportboote durchzuführen, müssen im Rahmen der EU-Biozidproduktzulassung belastbare Daten zum Bestand von Sportbooten und Häfen mit ihren Liegeplätzen vorliegen. Für Deutschland waren solche repräsentativen Daten nicht verfügbar. Das Umweltbundesamt förderte eine Studie, um den Bestand an Liegeplätzen für Sportboote in Marinas und kleineren Häfen im Binnen- und Küstenbereich zu erfassen. Die bundesweite Bestandsaufnahme der Liegeplätze ergab eine Gesamtanzahl von 206.279, von denen sich 146.425 (71 %) im Süßwasser, 54.079 (26,2 %) im Brackwasser (Salinität <18%) und 5.775 (2,8 %) im Salzwasser befanden. Die Charakteristika und Formen der Sportboothäfen im Süßwasser waren sehr heterogen und entsprachen nicht dem klassischen Schema von offenen und geschlossenen Häfen. Die Anzahl der Boote an den Liegeplätzen variierte sehr stark in Abhängigkeit vom Revier und der Sportbootsaison. Als Gebiete mit hohen Liegeplatzzahlen erwiesen sich die Ostseeküste, die Unterelbe ab Hamburg, die Mecklenburger Seenplatte, die Gewässer in und um Berlin und der Bodensee mit weiteren Voralpenseen. In einem weiteren Arbeitsschritt wurden in 50 repräsentativen Sportboothäfen Wasserproben gezogen und auf die aktuell erlaubten Antifoulingbiozide und deren Abbauprodukte analysiert, um das Vorkommen von Antifoulingbioziden in der Wasserphase von Sportboothäfen im Küsten- und Binnenbereich zu dokumentieren. Im dritten Schritt wurden die gemessenen Konzentrationen mit denen verglichen, die mittels der Computermodellierung mit MAMPEC errechnet wurden. Es stellte sich heraus, dass das MAMPEC-Modell im Gegensatz zu Küstenhäfen für Süßwasserhäfen nur bedingt zuverlässig ist.

description: Notre thèse tente de dégager une structure globale, un espace de la mort en lien avec l’écriture du deuil qui serait propre à la poésie québécoise telle qu’elle est représentée par Anne Hébert (1916-2000), Fernand Ouellette (1930 –), Jacques Brault (1933 –) et Denise Desautels (1945 –). La notion d’hétérotopie de Michel Foucault constitue le cœur de notre approche théorique parce qu’elle fait le pont entre un lieu localisable et un lieu non localisable dans le réel. Nous l’utilisons pour montrer l’« espace imaginaire de la mort » (Michel Ragon) de chaque poète. Deux notions bachelardiennes – le retentissement et la résonance – guident notre compréhension des images poétiques dans l’écriture de la perte. La mort n’étant pas un sujet ni un thème comme les autres, en faire un concept nous permet de tenir compte de sa particularité philosophique puisqu’il « vise à dégager l’essence d’une notion d’abord perçue comme noyée dans une gangue de contingences multiples » (Claude Bremond). D’un poète à l’autre, l’hétérotopie révèle le passage d’un imaginaire utopique de la mort à une thématisation plus axée sur la problématique de la dépouille. C’est ainsi que la traversée des ténèbres entreprise par Anne Hébert pour naître à la parole vivante ouvre la porte à l’angoisse d’une fin définitive que Fernand Ouellette apaise par sa foi en un au-delà. Son espace de la mort rejoint la notion d’horizon de Michel Collot. De son côté, Jacques Brault thématise la mort comme la fin d’un chemin marqué de nombreux deuils que seule la mémoire peut surmonter. Quant à Denise Desautels, ses poèmes-cimetières sont de petits théâtres construits d’objets et de voix qui rompent la solitude de cet être de langage qu’est la mort.

Coordination-based design for tailorable business software: A computerized maintenance management system example.
Creators: name: Cox, Charles.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: This thesis investigates the applicability of "Coordination Based Design" (CBD) as a software design methodology for the development of large commercial tailorable software systems, with the use of components. CBD provides an intuitive engineering approach to developing software and effectively facilitates its modification, growth and tailoring. More specifically, for the design of large systems, such as a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS), it is argued that CBD is a practicable means of accomplishing this. The CMMS was chosen as an example of a commercial application to discuss in relation to CBD, as it is a "good fit", due to the many challenges in the design, tailoring and upkeep of this class of applications. The fundamentals of CBD are discussed in further detail in the body of the thesis. To define a meaningful CMMS example, a survey was done, by selecting a set of various CMMS packages and then determining the more typical types of functionality available. This information was then used as a basis for establishing a reasonable set of functional requirements on which to base the design. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
My sweet sibling and I

description: The focus of this capstone project is to create a resource for siblings of individuals with Congenital Hyperinsulinism [HI], a rare genetic disorder that affects 1 in 25,000 babies annually and can result in hypoglycemia leading to seizures, brain damage, and even death. While those with HI face significant challenges, their siblings also experience unique difficulties such as emotional distress, adjustment problems, and taking on caregiver responsibilities. These challenges may be partly attributed to a lack of communication and understanding about HI within the family structure. This resource aims to help families navigate the complexities of HI, including providing support to siblings who may be struggling with their emotions. A group of 17 participants were provided with the storyline and asked to complete a corresponding Qualtrics survey to obtain feedback on the content. There was a 59% response rate, in which the majority of the respondents agreed the content was satisfactory in demystifying and educating siblings on the condition. The results indicated that the book met the project's stated goals, and we believe it will be a beneficial tool for families seeking to foster healthy relationships between children with HI and their siblings.

Usage-based road pricing in the context of urban Australia

Subjects: Transport policy
Road pricing
Distance based charging
Transport equity

description: Transport policy-makers, practitioners, and public transport advocates identified traditional road pricing as one of the reasons behind the increasing urban transport challenges and the growing demand for road transport. Many recommend implementing usage-based road pricing, e.g., distance-based charging (DBC), which internalises the external costs of private motor vehicle usage, to address this problem. While such pricing is still in its infancy in the context of passenger transport, the importance of a viable transport alternative (to private vehicles) is often underestimated. In an Australian context, public or active transport is not a feasible travel alternative in many urban locations, and this could compel captive road users to bear additional transport burdens, thereby leading to inequitable outcomes.
description: To understand the implications of usage-based pricing, this study commenced with an analysis of existing vehicle classification systems across Australia. The findings indicate that current arrangements fail to internalise the external costs and are largely ad-hoc, inconsistent, and outdated. It was concluded that vehicles should, at the very least, be classified by their Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) and emissions – the two key characteristics affecting the external costs of road usage in the context of passenger vehicles.
description: Next, using 2009-12 South East Queensland Household Travel Survey data, and the factors identified in the literature and available in this dataset, a regression model was estimated to identify the factors affecting commute distance. The results indicated that accessibility, at both place of residence and work, has the strongest impact on commute distance. It was therefore concluded that usage-based pricing will not be effective in reducing road usage until accessibility improves between residential and work locations.
description: Finally, the study focused on the equity implications of usage-based road pricing. After identifying low- and high-cost impact groups based on commute distance, GVM and emissions, logistic regression analysis was undertaken to assess potential horizontal equity issues. The findings confirmed that usage-based pricing would result in both horizontal and vertical inequity until accessibility is improved through greater public transport coverage and service quality, connectivity between residential, commercial and industrial zones, and more mixed-use and high-density developments. Furthermore, such a pricing scheme should incorporate some form of zonal and/or temporal variability that takes the local transport context into consideration. For road users who are less or even non-responsive to pricing mechanisms, campaigns raising general awareness of the broader societal and environmental impacts of private vehicle use are recommended.

A Study of Dialogue in a Multi-stakeholder Participatory Evaluation Project

Multi-stakeholder

description: Many things can be communicated through dialogue, including information, thoughts, feelings, attitudes, beliefs and personal experiences. More recently, dialogues have been used in focus group research and in program evaluations. Despite the increasing prevalence of dialogue in research and evaluation, much is still unknown about dialogue, especially how dialogue emerges and occurs within a group setting. The aim of the current study was to describe and identify the various factors involved in a dialogue, examine the relationships among these factors, and conceptualize the process of dialogue within a multi-stakeholder participatory evaluation. A qualitative analysis of three focus groups, each comprised of eight to ten participants, yielded several findings. First, several factors were found to help facilitate the interactions between multiple stakeholders in dialogue, including the development of common ground and specific contributions made by participants. Secondly, communication within these multiple stakeholder groups was found to alternate between two individuals, a dyadic exchange, or between multiple participants, a complex exchange. Thirdly, the moderator and participants were found to take on each other roles. Finally, from these conversations, a model was developed to illustrate the progression of a dialogue in these groups. These results have many implications for program evaluators, focus group leaders, and other practitioners in the field.

description: The peer-reviewed papers included in these volumes were first presented at the Timor-Leste Studies Association (TLSA)’s Understanding Timor-Leste 2019, which was held at the Universidade Nacional Timor-Lorosa’e (UNTL), Liceu Campus, Avenida Cidade de Lisboa, Dili, Timor-Leste, 27–28 June 2019. This was the 7th TLSA conference, following our conferences in Melbourne (2005) and Dili (2009, 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2017). More than 200 East Timorese and international delegates presented papers over two days. The conference was organised into three language streams, with papers presented in Tetum, Portuguese and English. This approach reflects the linguistic diversity of Timor-Leste and proved a great success.

description: A series of symmetrical and nonsymmetrical N,N-disubstituted benzimidazolium salts were synthesized as N-heterocyclic carbene precursors. These salts were treated with Ag2O to afford their corresponding mononuclear Ag(I)-NHC complexes. These compounds were characterized by spectroscopy techniques and analyzed by DFT/TDDFT and docking methods. Also, the structures of 2a and 2e were determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. These new Ag–NHC complexes were screened for their antibacterial activities against Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria, fungi, and nosocomial agents.

description: Neuroinflammation occurs in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) brain, and plays a role in neurodegeneration. The main aim of this study was to determine how treatments with exogenous apolipoprotein E (ApoE2, E3 and E4 isoforms), a genetic risk factor for AD, affects the amyloid-β (Aβ) induced inflammatory response in vitro in astrocytes. Recombinant, lipid-free ApoE4 was found not to affect Aβ-induced inflammation in rat astrocytes, while ApoE2 showed a protective effect. Mouse cells expressing human ApoE isoforms, which have similar lipidation and modification to native human ApoE, showed ApoE4 promoting inflammation, and no ApoE2 protective effect upon Aβ treatment. A Protein/DNA array was used to screen 345 transcription factors in rat astrocytes treated with Aβ and/or ApoE isoforms, in order to determine which contribute to the observed ApoE2 protection. Some candidates were validated by Western Blot or EMSA and/or by inhibition or activation. The findings suggest ApoE isoforms differentially regulate Aβ-induced inflammation, and multiple signalling pathways are involved in the process.

Socially motivated travel

description: When observing the temporal trajectory of an individual, there is a high probability of visiting a known place; this is due to the central component of habit and routine in human mobility behavior. To understand those routine activities, we propose a new survey method: the Place Generator & the Place Interpreter, based on the name generator and name interpreter survey methodology for ego-centric social networks. In the survey, we asked the participants to name the locations they regularly visit for leisure, by category. This methodology captures the characteristics of the locations and the reasons to be chosen. We tested the methodology in the Zurich Metropolitan Area in Switzerland, focusing on urban leisure activities and the social environment of the locations. Hence, we ask the individuals to describe the reasons for choosing that specific location and the socio-demographic characteristics of the other visitors. This methodology worked well when compared with earlier long-duration GPS tracking surveys. Respondents report, on average, 9.85 locations for nine types of locations, mainly supermarkets and restaurants or cafes, and respondents can describe their similarities with other visitors to that location. The survey is complemented with a survey of sociodemographic characteristics and the respondent's ego-centric social network to get information on social connections and their impact on leisure activity.
Covariance Estimation under Missing Observations and $L_4-L_2$ Moment Equivalence

description: We consider the problem of estimating the covariance matrix of a random vector by observing i.i.d samples and each entry of the sampled vector is missed with probability $p$. Under the standard $L_4-L_2$ moment equivalence assumption, we construct the first estimator that simultaneously achieves optimality with respect to the parameter $p$ and it recovers the optimal convergence rate for the classical covariance estimation problem when $p=1$

La téléréalité et le désengagement politique chez les jeunes universitaires

description: Nous observons depuis plusieurs décennies, un désintérêt généralisé pour la politique, qui est particulièrement marqué chez les jeunes (Bakker & de Vreese, 2011; Pasek, Kenski, Romer & Jamieson, 2006; Putnam, 2000; Yang, 2009) et qui se traduit, dans le contexte canadien, notamment par la diminution du taux de participation aux élections canadiennes (Hudon, Poirier & Yates, 2008; Statistique Canada, 2011). Notre recherche s’inscrit dans un cadre théorique soutenant que les industries culturelles tendent à détourner les citoyens des enjeux civiques et politiques qu’exige toute vie en société. En effet, il est permis de penser que les émissions de téléréalité, comme formes relativement nouvelles d’industries culturelles, du moins dans leur composante interactive (Dupont, 2007a; Ruel, 2008), sont au cœur de la problématique du désintérêt marqué des jeunes pour la vie politique, désintérêt qui se traduit par un désengagement. La réflexion est d’autant plus pertinente que certaines émissions de téléréalité sous-tendent justement des modèles de participation (par vote), et ce sont précisément ces dernières qui seront ciblées dans le cadre de cette recherche. Ce faisant, le but de la présente recherche est de déterminer s’il existe un lien de concomitance entre la fréquence de consommation des émissions de téléréalité (exigeant un mode de participation) et le désengagement politique des jeunes universitaires, âgés de 18 à 29 ans. Pour ce faire, nous avons procédé par voie de questionnaires auto-administrés à des étudiants universitaires, sélectionnés de manière aléatoire (par grappes). Un total de 138 participants ont complété le questionnaire et les résultats d’analyses statistiques révèlent que le désengagement politique chez les universitaires n’est pas significativement lié à leur consommation d’émissions de téléréalité, mais, par exemple, que le champ d’étude est lié à l’aspect des conversations politiques. Ces résultats sont discutés dans leur implication pratique comme théorique.
The mirror-ball effect: investigating channels, messages and participation levels

description: Journalists have always used equipment which has been generally available in the communities in which they worked. This has been a result both of economy and necessity, since they found they had to connect with their audiences using means that were available to the audience, not just to the sender. Newspapers sold on street corners in the very early media days; SMS and email have become the rule for the early 21st century. This development also admits the possibility of the roles of the communication professional and the community merging during the 'public journalism' process, and has become most recently evident in the areas around the Bay of Bengal, struck by the tsunami on December 26, 2004, especially in the Indonesian province of Banda Aceh, and in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, where tiny portable radios, featuring solar panels and hand-cranked dynamos, have suddenly become part of a vital news media channel. In this article participant-observation and personal interview techniques are used to record and compare many of the digital channels used by news and information senders up to 2005. It also investigates the level of genuine participation which these new technologies have brought to the communications process.

description: En 1708, el impresor François Foppens publica en Bruselas los Dialogues Nouveaux [...] de Francisco Sobrino, un oficial reformado y maestro de Corte que plagia, incrementándola, la colección de César Oudin (Dialogos muy apazibles [...] Marc Orry, 1608), quien a su vez había hecho lo propio con los siete de John Minsheu (Pleasant and Delightfull Dialogues, Londres, 1599) en una de la líneas editoriales más importantes, paralela a la de otras constelaciones (como la inaugurada por Noel de Berlaimont) de la riquísima tradición paneuropea de coloquios didácticos creados para dar muestras de conversacionalidad a quienes desearan aprender segundas lenguas. De los seis diálogos originales de Sobrino, cuatro son fantasiosos y de éstos, hay tres lucianescos en el sentido de que usan la ‘estrategia de Luciano’ pues sus interlocutores son personajes muertos (Mahoma, Colón, Moctezuma, etc.). Será trazado aquí un análisis de las características de los mismos, con especial atención a los componentes didácticos e ideológicos.
