description: In general, Maillard reaction is known as a process which us ually can be triggered by reducing sugars.  However,  it  has  been  noticed  that  the  reaction  products  are  involved  in  many  diseases.  Along  with  reducing sugars, some preservatives can also interfere with Maillard reaction. Among them, potassium  sorbate (PS) a nd sodium benzoate (SB) are widely used and daily intake through daily diets, drugs and  cosmetics by consumers. Here we compare the effect of PS and SB on human serum albumin (HSA)  concerning   Maillard   reaction   and   amyloid   formation   using   biophysical   techni ques   such   as  fluorescence spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. The spectroscopic results showed that both of  PS  and  SB  can  trigger  Maillard  reaction  but  with  obvious  difference  in  advanced  glycation  end  products formation and their components. Moreove r, the quantity of the obtained amyloid fibrils by PS  was  quietly  larger  than  it  by  SB  and  also  the  appearance  of  the  obtained  fibrils  were  different.  The  formation of high amounts of   - helical structures in treated HSA by SB and high amounts of β - sheet  structure in treated HSA by PS due to different amounts of AGEs formation seems to be the reason of  various HSA intermediates creation.

description: From a review of the literature it was found that the failures of trees resulted from either uprooting or stem breaking, though many factors contribute to the health and continual growth that combats failure. Most of the literature cited wind as the main reason for failure, and it was found that there was a general lack of research and knowledge on common varieties of Eucalyptus trees, such as Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Eucalyptus rubida. There were currently no published results on the E. rubida mechanical properties, while only a few publications existed on E. camaldulensis. Recent studies have shown that concern was growing about the failure of trees, especially those in close proximity to cities and urban development with potential wind speeds increasing due to global warming.

In order to investigate a means of obtaining material properties from living trees (via small core samples rather than the industry-standard method of bending tests from felled timber) the use of a relatively new instrument was investigated; the “Fractometer II”. It was found that it could potentially complement the industry standard method of testing, because the MOR for E. camaldulensis did not significantly differ between either testing methods, meaning that either method would yield valid results. E. camaldulensis and E. rubida were found to be significantly different to each other in their MOR values, thus it was recommended that Eucalypts be studied at the species level. It was found that the MOE for E. camaldulensis was 11.1 Gpa, which was similar to other studies.

Parameters such as tree shape, DBH, crown area, material properties and drag coefficient were estimated or measured for E. camaldulensis and E. rubida and these were used to predict the critical wind speed for stem breakage. The critical wind speeds were an estimation of the expected critical wind speeds for individual Eucalypt trees. Accelerometers were attached to several trees during heavy wind storms. Five sets of data from the accelerometers were used to calculate the displacement for each tree over an interval of thirty-nine seconds and then calculate the drag coefficient. From the method used to estimate drag coefficients, a high range of values were found (from 0.670 -0.915) for E. camaldulensis. The critical wind speeds ranged from 37.6 - 111 m/s for stem breakage, which was within the range expected from historical data on fallen trees in Victoria.

description: We study transport phenomena through a ballistic ferromagnet-superconductor-ferromagnet (F/S/F) junction, comparing the case in which the ferromagnetic order in the two F layers is of the standard Stoner type with the case where it is driven by a spin mass mismatch (SMM). It is shown that the two mechanisms lead to a different behavior in the charge and the spin conductances, especially when compared to the corresponding non-superconducting ferromagnet-normal-ferromagnet (F/N/F) junctions. In particular, when the injected current is perpendicular to the barrier, for high barrier transparency and large magnetization of the F layers, the large mass mismatch gives rise to an enhancement of both low-bias charge and spin conductances of the F/S/F junction, which is not observed in the equal-mass case. When all the allowed injection directions are considered, the low bias enhancement of the charge conductance for SMM leads still holds for high barrier transparency and large magnetization of the F layers. However, in the case of non-transparent interfaces, spin transport with SMM ferromagnets exhibits an opposite sign response with respect to the Stoner case at high biases for all magnetization values, also manifesting a significant amplification induced by superconductivity at the gap edge. The above mentioned differences can be exploited to probe the nature of the electronic mechanism underlying the establishment of the ferromagnetic order in a given material.

description: Im Rahmen der durch die Bundesregierung ausgerufenen Energiewende verändert sich die Struktur der Stromerzeugung von einer zentralen zu einer dezentralen, verteilten Stromproduktion. Diese bringt eine deutlich komplexere Organisation des Stromnetzes mit sich. Gleichzeitig erhalten Informations-und Kommunikationstechnik Einzug in die Stromversorgung – das Smart Grid entwickelt sich. Zwischen dem hierfür benötigten Kommunikations-und dem Stromnetz besteht jedoch eine wechselseitige Abhängigkeit. Dadurch wird das Wiederherstellen der Stromversorgung nach einem Blackout eine große Herausforderung. Als möglicher Lösungsansatz wurde ein verteiltes Verfahren entwickelt, das den automatisierten Wiederaufbau eines solchen Szenarios unterstützt. Es basiert auf einem Multi-Agenten-System, in dem durch das zyklische Bilden von Inselnetzen und den Zusammenschluss dieser Inseln der Wiederaufbau des Stromnetzes durchgeführt wird. Die prototypische Implementierung wurde in einer Simulationsumgebung getestet und mit einem empirischen Ansatz in Bezug auf seine Effektivität und Effizienz validiert. Dabei konnte gezeigt werden, dass das entwickelte Verfahren einen geeigneten Ansatz zur Lösung der gegebenen Problemstellung bietet.

A study of leagility and supply chain design
Creators: name: Fadaki, Masih
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: In the context of a dynamic and hyper-competitive business environment, appropriate design of supply chains helps organisations to align resources for improved flow of products and services and satisfy customers’ diverse needs. Researchers have proposed several supply chain designs which are mutually exclusive such as efficient versus responsive, and lean versus agile. Quantitative testing of these designs revealed that many firms’ supply chain designs do not match with what was conceptually expected.

In this research, a new approach to supply chain leagility is investigated, proposing all supply chains are leagile with different magnitudes of leanness and agility. In this regard, a new index, ‘deviation from leagility’ (DFL), is introduced, and employed in this study to optimise supply chain design. DFL is the absolute distance of supply chain design from a balanced supply chain. Balanced supply chain is a position where the magnitude of leanness and agility is equal. A comprehensive model of uncertainty including demand, supply, and internal uncertainty is engaged to investigate the impact of uncertainty as a key design driver of supply chains.

The partial least squares (PLS) was employed to analyse data collected from Australian firms. The results indicate that higher performance is achievable when the deviation from a balanced supply chain in which both aspects of leanness and agility are equally embedded, is minimised. Results also reveal that DFL is directly and positively influenced by the level of uncertainty; while it is indirectly impacted by the level of competition intensity and customers’ expectation.

Analysis of market segment revealed that irrespective of the segment a firm is operating in or for, uncertainty is a significant determinant of designing a supply chain. However, there is higher magnitude of agility for companies active in the up-market segment of an industry compared to the down-market segment.

Refiguring animated bodies: feminist perspectives on the body in animation
Creators: name: Richards, Ruth
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 360501
subject: Cinema studies

description: Recent years have seen a renewed focus within animation studies regarding women in animation, particularly in terms of their histories and representations. However, despite various examples of scholarship that take up a feminist position or engage in feminist critique and analysis in their examinations of animated film, animation studies has been slow to engage with feminist philosophical frameworks in a rigorous manner. This is particularly evidenced by the lack of engagement with feminist theories of corporeality and materiality. In their re-examination of the mind/body dualism - which nevertheless continues to reassert itself - feminist theorists have long sought to displace and refigure this dichotomy and its associated pairings. This theoretical grappling with corporeality has led to deeper considerations regarding the ontologies of life, of difference, and of becomings, as the complexities of bodies as material entities, the interactions between body and mind, and the interactions between different bodies are revealed and delineated. The focus of this thesis is the ways in which feminist conceptions of the body, materiality, and becoming can work through animation, and in turn, suggest ways in which animation may open up and reinvigorate feminist understandings of the body and modes of materiality.

The thesis posits that animation is a site through which such complexities can be productively explored and argues that animation and materialist feminism provide mutually generative ways of thinking the material nature of embodiment as necessarily animated. The thesis illustrates this claim with a specific focus on the animated films of Michèle Cournoyer, who takes the body as a central focus in her work to show how animation may actualise the lived experience of, particularly, women's embodiment. The thesis also argues for a genealogical continuity between the ink-on-paper animations of Cournoyer with her female colleagues in the animation industry where the embodied practices of early women (as well as contemporary) animators has enabled this medium's genesis and development.

description: Designing accurate deep learning models for molecular property prediction plays an increasingly essential role in drug and material discovery. Recently, due to the scarcity of labeled molecules, self-supervised learning methods for learning generalizable and transferable representations of molecular graphs have attracted lots of attention. In this paper, we argue that there exist two major issues hindering current self-supervised learning methods from obtaining desired performance on molecular property prediction, that is, the ill-defined pre-training tasks and the limited model capacity. To this end, we introduce Knowledge-guided Pre-training of Graph Transformer (KPGT), a novel self-supervised learning framework for molecular graph representation learning, to alleviate the aforementioned issues and improve the performance on the downstream molecular property prediction tasks. More specifically, we first introduce a high-capacity model, named Line Graph Transformer (LiGhT), which emphasizes the importance of chemical bonds and is mainly designed to model the structural information of molecular graphs. Then, a knowledge-guided pre-training strategy is proposed to exploit the additional knowledge of molecules to guide the model to capture the abundant structural and semantic information from large-scale unlabeled molecular graphs. Extensive computational tests demonstrated that KPGT can offer superior performance over current state-of-the-art methods on several molecular property prediction tasks.

Subjects: classificationCode: 401699
subject: Materials engineering not elsewhere classified

description: In this thesis computational modelling was used to investigate on the atomistic scale, the effects of external electric and electromagnetic fields (EMF) on protein behaviour and responses in an aqueous environment. The motivation behind this study is discussed in Chapter 1, along with a literature review on previous research on the effects of EMF on proteins, from both simulation based studies and experimental research.

Non-Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics was employed to simulate the protein response to external perturbations and the computational methodologies encompassing this technique are described in Chapter 2. The history of NEMD is also described in this chapter, along with the specific computational details for the simulation of our peptide model, apoC-II(60-70) exposed to EMFs of static/oscillating nature and different frequency and strength.

In Chapter we used all-atom NEMD simulations to understand and quantify the response mechanisms of the amyloidogenic apoC-II (60-70) peptides to non-ionising radiation by modelling their behaviour under static electromagnetic and electric fields ofdifferent strengths.

Chapter 4 expands on the previous study by investigating the role of the field frequency on the peptide behaviour in solution. Finally, Chapter 5 presents a summary of the conclusions drawn from this work.

description: In recent years, colorectal cancer has become one of the most significant diseases that endanger human health. Deep learning methods are increasingly important for the classification of colorectal histopathology images. However, existing approaches focus more on end-to-end automatic classification using computers rather than human-computer interaction. In this paper, we propose an IL-MCAM framework. It is based on attention mechanisms and interactive learning. The proposed IL-MCAM framework includes two stages: automatic learning (AL) and interactivity learning (IL). In the AL stage, a multi-channel attention mechanism model containing three different attention mechanism channels and convolutional neural networks is used to extract multi-channel features for classification. In the IL stage, the proposed IL-MCAM framework continuously adds misclassified images to the training set in an interactive approach, which improves the classification ability of the MCAM model. We carried out a comparison experiment on our dataset and an extended experiment on the HE-NCT-CRC-100K dataset to verify the performance of the proposed IL-MCAM framework, achieving classification accuracies of 98.98% and 99.77%, respectively. In addition, we conducted an ablation experiment and an interchangeability experiment to verify the ability and interchangeability of the three channels. The experimental results show that the proposed IL-MCAM framework has excellent performance in the colorectal histopathological image classification tasks.

description: The purpose of this paper is to explore the antecedents of innovation capability and firm performance of ICT SMEs within clusters in Jakarta and Bandung in Indonesia. A causal model was proposed and tested by using Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM). Findings reveal that intellectual capital is a major contributor of innovation capability. Surprisingly, being spatially close in a specific location does not trigger firms to have innovation capability. Instead, firm performance is marginally and directly improved by gathering ICT firms in a spatial proximity and nurturing learning capability. In practice, owners and managers of ICT firms must cultivate talented employees and equip them with training in order to update technological advances. Placing firms together in a specific location does not create innovation capability unless both firms and governments collaborate to improve current infrastructure and eliminate inefficient policies.

description: There are number of methods, already developed, used to monitor condition of lubricants in dynamic systems through the detection of the wide spectrum of sound, produced during the movements of mechanical parts. Generated sound, often, includes frequencies that can be detected by human ear. However, these methods are only applicable to moving, i.e. dynamic mechanical systems, and cannot be applied for static mechanical systems. They are designed to remain static, until they are required to respond to an external trigger. Some examples of the static systems, which have activation mechanism, are spring actuated high voltage circuit breakers, safety valves, latches and hooks with retracting springs. Dry up of lubricants, or grease, in such actuation mechanisms, will result in sluggish response.  These static devices do not emit any acoustic signal. That makes it hard to monitor their condition with already developed sound processing methods. Thus, another, ultrasonic inspection approach is proposed to test such mechanisms. This research project reviews current technologies and introduces new, ultrasonic pulse-echo technique that can be applied in the inspection of lubricant in the static mechanical systems. Using this novel method, ultrasound waves are propagated through a specimen consisted of the high viscosity grease and metal pieces. Different impedances and thickness of the lubricant/grease can be measured, and its condition can be monitored. Ultrasonic inspection system is constructed to produce high frequency ultrasonic pulses and receive echo signals. Echo signals are acquired using digital Data Acquisition (DAQ) system. In the proposed method, wavelet transform was used to de-noise the signal and extract the features from sound samples. Features data, from different samples, were analyzed and used to develop a fuzzy inference system to define the lubricant condition. Classification system was then examined using grease samples with known conditions. The newness percentage of the samples was found from the fuzzy classification system and was compared to the known conditions. Using this approach, novel methodology in health monitoring of the static mechanical systems, was verified. Elements of this new system, as well as experimental results are already presented in several publications, including journals, book chapters and conference proceedings.

description: The formation of high quality Schottky diodes (i.e. high rectification ratio, low saturation current, low series resistance, and ideality factor close to 1) by Filtered Cathodic Vacuum Arc deposition of carbon (FCVA C) onto p-type silicon substrates has been demonstrated in this thesis. Electrical measurement results clearly indicate that the choice of FCVA’s deposition parameters (i.e. energy and temperature) have an influence on the quality of the Schottky junction. Moreover, these measurements have assisted in identifying both the effect of the varying microstructure of graphitic carbon films (sp2/sp3 ratio) caused by different deposition parameters and the presence of a thin, resistive interfacial layer between carbon and p-Si. Technology Computer Aided Design (TCAD) simulations based on a Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor (M-I-S) and on a Metal-Resistor-Semiconductor (M-R-S) diode structures were constructed to fit the experimental data. The M-I-S diode structure is a 2-D model where the interfacial layer was considered as an insulator. This model estimates the ‘metal’ work function and the thickness of the interfacial layer to approximate the experimental I-V results. The alternative M-R-S diode structure utilised 2-D and 3-D models to simulate the electrical behaviour of carbon/p-Si diodes. The primary feature in the M-R-S 2-D and 3-D models is the definition of a resistive interface (representing experimentally observed carbon/Si mixed interfacial layer) between the graphitic carbon thin film and Si. In addition to metal work function determination, Schottky barrier lowering can be incorporated in the M-R-S model to include image force effects reported in literature. Both models achieved excellent agreement with the measurement results in the forward I-V region. For the M-R-S model, the agreement with the measurement results in the reverse I-V region has improved significantly compared to simulation using the M-I-S model. The M-R-S model provided information that could not be obtained from measurements and suggested a path to improved devices.

description: Surface plasmons in graphene provide a compelling strategy for advanced photonic technologies thanks to their tight confinement, fast response and tunability. Recent advances in the field of all optical generation of graphene plasmons in planar waveguides offer a promising method for high speed signal processing in nanoscale integrated optoelectronic devices. Here, we use two counter propagating frequency combs with temporally synchronized pulses to demonstrate deterministic all optical generation and electrical control of multiple plasmon polaritons, excited via difference frequency generation (DFG). Electrical tuning of a hybrid graphene fibre device offers a precise control over the DFG phase matching, leading to tunable responses of the graphene plasmons at different frequencies across a broadband (0 - 50 THz) and provides a powerful tool for high speed logic operations. Our results offer insights for plasmonics on hybrid photonic devices based on layered materials and pave the way to high speed integrated optoelectronic computing circuits.

description: The statistical regularities in language corpora encode well-known social biases into word embeddings. Here, we focus on gender to provide a comprehensive analysis of group-based biases in widely-used static English word embeddings trained on internet corpora (GloVe 2014, fastText 2017). Using the Single-Category Word Embedding Association Test, we demonstrate the widespread prevalence of gender biases that also show differences in: (1) frequencies of words associated with men versus women; (b) part-of-speech tags in gender-associated words; (c) semantic categories in gender-associated words; and (d) valence, arousal, and dominance in gender-associated words. First, in terms of word frequency: we find that, of the 1,000 most frequent words in the vocabulary, 77% are more associated with men than women, providing direct evidence of a masculine default in the everyday language of the English-speaking world. Second, turning to parts-of-speech: the top male-associated words are typically verbs (e.g., fight, overpower) while the top female-associated words are typically adjectives and adverbs (e.g., giving, emotionally). Gender biases in embeddings also permeate parts-of-speech. Third, for semantic categories: bottom-up, cluster analyses of the top 1,000 words associated with each gender. The top male-associated concepts include roles and domains of big tech, engineering, religion, sports, and violence; in contrast, the top female-associated concepts are less focused on roles, including, instead, female-specific slurs and sexual content, as well as appearance and kitchen terms. Fourth, using human ratings of word valence, arousal, and dominance from a ~20,000 word lexicon, we find that male-associated words are higher on arousal and dominance, while female-associated words are higher on valence.

subject: Biomedical instrumentation

description: Traditionally, different imaging systems are available for diagnosis of Macular Edema (ME) such as Fundus Photography (FP), Slit Lamp biomicroscopy and Fluorescein Angiography (FA). However, FA is an invasive procedure and lacks information about retinal thickness, while FP requires a flash and is insensitive in detecting abnormalities in deeper layers of the retina. Recent technological advances have seen widespread use of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) which provides both cross-sectional and tomographic views of the retina. While OCT is considered the state-of-the-art, these are often not available in remote regions.  Further, currently the different image modalities are acquired by different equipment and there is the need for integrating these such as OCT and Infrared (IR) retinal imaging.

This thesis has studied different imaging techniques like FP, FA OCT and IR retinal images with main focus on the key indicators such as damaged blood vessels and change in retinal thickness for diagnosis and monitoring of ME. This study has also investigated the relation between retinal vessel geometry features (RVGF) and retinal thickness in ME using different imaging systems. Another contribution of this thesis is that it has explored the utility of IR images of the retina for detecting the retinal morphological changes and other abnormalities related to ME diagnosis.
The thesis has (i) Validated the application of IR fundus images recorded with the OCT using IR for investigating the superficial retinal vasculature and also validated that IR texture features may help clinicians in automatic detection of ME without further being investigated using other imaging systems. (ii) Investigated the association between OCT and FA parameters for Macular Edema detection and revealed that OCT measurements are suitable for objectively identifying the ME cases requiring clinical interventions. (iii) Investigated the association between retinal vessel geometrical features (RVGF) and the incidence and progression of Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) and suggested that Average Branching Angle can act as a potential biomarker indicative of progression of DME severity.

description: Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) is a powerful IoT application which remodels the growth of industries by ensuring transparent communication among various entities such as hubs, manufacturing places and packaging units. Introducing data science techniques within the IIoT improves the ability to analyze the collected data in a more efficient manner, which current IIoT architectures lack due to their distributed nature. From a security perspective, network anomalies/attackers pose high security risk in IIoT. In this paper, we have addressed this problem, where a coordinator IoT device is elected to compute the trust of IoT devices to prevent the malicious devices to be part of network. Further, the transparency of the data is ensured by integrating a blockchain-based data model. The performance of the proposed framework is validated extensively and rigorously via MATLAB against various security metrics such as attack strength, message alteration, and probability of false authentication. The simulation results suggest that the proposed solution increases IIoT network security by efficiently detecting malicious attacks in the network.
On the principle of good faith in the Brazilian Civil Code of 2002: interpretation, rectification, and integration of contracts

description: The paper discusses how the principle of good faith, as an expression of ethical values, transforms the law of obligations in Brazil, leading to a redefinition of private autonomy. In its objective meaning, good faith becomes a relevant norm in the Brazilian legal system, being prominently admitted by the Civil Code of 2002. Good faith favors an interpretation of contracts that considers loyalty and trust essential context points beyond the parties' will. It justifies the correction of strict law as a general clause prohibiting abuse, and it also imposes some collateral duties that were not expressly provided for by the parties.
