description: Through a practice-led inquiry based in painting and installation, this research project examines the perceptual registers at play in digital, screen-based encounters. The abstract distortions and luminous forms generated by digital devices are investigated as qualities that typically go unnoticed when we are absorbed online. Here, the optical experience of ‘digital light’ is considered in physical and material terms, informed by diverse artistic traditions that span modern, postmodern and contemporary art—from Pointillism to Op art and artists such as Gerhard Richter and Tobias Rehberger. Like these exemplars, my practice-led project both absorbs and comments upon the perceptual effects of new-media technologies, extending the legacy of painting as a mode of perceptual inquiry. In particular, the research draws from the history of Op art within the context of phenomenology and contemporary post-Internet practices. Coined in 1964, Op art was a relatively short-lived movement that, although popular with the general public, was condemned by many high-profile critics for its trompe l’oeil qualities, its technological optimism, commercialism and reliance on ‘cheap’ illusion. The works of Op artists, it was assumed, seemed playful but were actually manipulative, not unlike the mass media itself. According to Pamela M. Lee, sixties debates about Op art corresponded with the somatic and consumerist ramifications of television. This research project employs Op art’s abstract significations to examine the perceptual qualities of digital media, thereby contributing to an understanding of the way contemporary art practices respond creatively to the legacy of Sixties opticality/phenomenology debates. The rigorous opticality of Op is presented as a way to consider the regulated, commodified and surveilled space of the World Wide Web, conceiving of digital signifiers less in terms of pixilation or other visual clichés, and more in terms of phenomenological modes of absorption. The spatial, temporal and affective implications of digital culture’s optical demands are approached through the lens of a painting-based practice, proposing that art can illuminate the experience of being immersed in screen-based activities.

description: Re-evaluation of geochemical and geophysical datasets, and analysis of magmatic and detrital zircons from drill-core samples extracted from the Louth region of the southern Thomson Orogen (STO), augmented by limited field samples, has shown that two temporally and compositionally distinct igneous groups exist. The older Lower Devonian, calc-alkaline group corresponds to complexly folded, high-intensity curvilinear magnetic anomalies in the Louth region (Louth Volcanics) and are probable equivalents to Lower Devonian volcanics in the northern Lachlan Orogen. A younger Permo-Triassic alkaline assemblage forms part of an E–W corridor of diatremes that appears to relate to focussed lithospheric extension associated with the later stages of the Hunter–Bowen Orogeny in the New England Orogen. The alkaline group includes gabbros previously considered as Neoproterozoic, but all magmatic rocks, including alkaline basalts, contain an unusual number of xenocrystic zircons. The age spectra of the xenocrystic zircons mimic detrital zircons from Cobar Basin sedimentary rocks and/or underlying Ordovician turbidites, suggesting incorporation of upper crustal zircons into the alkaline basaltic magmas. A distinct difference of detrital zircon age spectra from central Thomson Orogen metasediments indicates the STO metasediments have greater affinities to the Lachlan Orogen, but both orogens probably began in the Early Ordovician during widespread backarc extension and deposition of turbidites in the Tasmanides. A surprising result is that Ordovician, Devonian and Permo-Triassic basaltic rocks from the STO and elsewhere in the Tasmanides, all yield the same Nd-model ages of ca 960–830 Ma, suggesting that Neoproterozoic subcontinental lithospheric mantle persisted throughout the evolution of the Tasmanide orogenic system.

description: Australia is facing a shortfall in the number of appropriately skilled ICT workers needed for Australia’s future workforce. One avenue to address this issue is for universities and stakeholders to conduct initiatives to attract prospective students to ICT courses, by building self-efficacy and positive attitudes towards ICT careers. Previous gender-focused interventions have reported immediate positive effects in female students’ attitudes and confidence towards IT. There have been, however, no longer-term measures of the longitudinal changes of both male and female students’ attitudes and self-efficacy towards IT from such interventions. This research sought to investigate and compare the longitudinal effects of three different levels of interventions for IT upon primary school-aged students’ attitudes and self-efficacy towards computer programming and their interest to pursue programming.
Deterioration modelling of low volume roads in Australia using laser profilometer measurements

description: Roughness prediction models play an important and central role in a Pavement Management System (PMS). A successful PMS is highly dependent on the accurate prediction of future pavement performance. Pavement performance prediction models containing the least error will offer road authorities a better understanding of the future remaining life of a network, evaluate affordable programs and estimate future funding needs. Thus, by using a reliable pavement performance prediction model the Pavement Life Cycle Cost (PLCC) of a pavement can be reduced significantly through timely and accurate prioritisation of maintenance strategies. The International Roughness Index (IRI) is the most common and widely used index for measuring network level roughness in Australia. However, the IRI is only capable of measuring roughness at within a certain and limited surface waveband spectrum. Current available roughness indices in Australia are not capable of measuring change in roughness with time over a range of wavebands spectra as observed in the pavement surface. Predicting roughness at various wavebands will enable road authorities to identify the future mode of pavement deterioration and plan for the relevant remedial maintenance actions.

description: Die Versatz- und die Deponieverordnung enthalten Konzentrationsgrenzen für die  Rückgewinnung bestimmter Metalle. Mit dem Forschungsvorhaben wurde untersucht, ob die geltenden Konzentrationsgrenzen abgesenkt werden können, ob weitere Metallarten zu prüfen und zu begrenzen wären und ob die Regelungen auch für die auf Deponien zu beseitigenden Abfälle angewendet werden sollten. Ziel ist eine bessere Ressourcenschonung durch vermehrte Rückgewinnung von Metallen aus Abfällen, die z.B. nach dem Versatz in Bergbauhohlräumen unwiederbringlich verloren wären. Untersucht wurden deshalb die Metallgehalte in mengenrelevanten Abfallströmen, deren Bindungsformen, geeignete technische Aufbereitungsverfahren und die Gewinnungskosten, um die Wirksamkeit eventueller Grenzwerteveränderungen vorab bewerten zu können.
Manifestations of conceptual metaphor and blending theories in science, design, and art
Creators: name: Ox, Jack
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Multiple connections between concepts visible in conceptual metaphor theory and blending theory lead to a natural engagement of metaphorical principles in mapping between different perceptual domains in science, design, and art. Cross-modal projects and intermedia works use similar concepts. These ideas seem to have been simultaneously discovered and employed by people wrestling with knowledge representation problems in many fields. The literature review provides a taxonomy of elements in conceptual metaphor theory and blending theory. These elements structured the case studies in this dissertation. The goal of the taxonomy was to provide the conceptual structure for a cross-modal, knowledge representation toolkit.

description: Background: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in diverse biological processes and have been widely studied in recent years. However, the roles of lncRNAs in leaf pigment formation in ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba L.) remain poorly understood. Results: In this study, lncRNA libraries for mutant yellow-leaf and normal green-leaf ginkgo trees were constructed via high-throughput sequencing. A total of 2044 lncRNAs were obtained with an average length of 702 nt and typically harbored 2 exons. We identified 238 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs), 32 DELs and 49 differentially expressed mRNAs (DEGs) that constituted coexpression networks. We also found that 48 cis-acting DELs regulated 72 target genes, and 31 trans-acting DELs regulated 31 different target genes, which provides a new perspective for the regulation of the leaf-color mutation. Due to the crucial regulatory roles of lncRNAs in a wide range of biological processes, we conducted in-depth studies on the DELs and their targets and found that the chloroplast thylakoid membrane subcategory and the photosynthesis pathways (ko00195) were most enriched, suggesting their potential roles in leaf coloration mechanisms. In addition, our correlation analysis indicates that eight DELs and 68 transcription factors (TFs) might be involved in interaction networks. Conclusions: This study has enriched the knowledge concerning lncRNAs and provides new insights into the function of lncRNAs in leaf-color mutations, which will benefit future selective breeding of ginkgo.

description: All musical instruments have idiosyncrasies and pose technical problems for the composer. The guitar is especially challenging particularly for the non-guitarist composer.
description: Writing for groups of guitars poses additional problems in orchestration. Writing for guitar and orchestra presents the specific challenge of how the instrument might compete with much louder instruments and groups of instruments.
description: This study - Writing for Guitar Groups with and without Orchestra - discusses, examines and experiments with concepts and techniques that seek to overcome some of these challenges. Compositions and arrangements by other guitarists/composers are analysed for common practices in guitar group writing, and compositions have been written for the study to give examples of various orchestration/arranging possibilities in writing for guitar groups. A concerto for a group of guitars was written to combine the challenge of writing for guitar groups and writing for them with the accompaniment and interplay of orchestral forces. The concerto, Old Earth - New Skies, submitted in score and demonstration recording, is the centrepiece of this study.
description: It is evident that a judicious use of registral, timbral and rhythmic contrasts grants increased control over the integration of guitar groups and their interplay with orchestral forces. The issue of amplitude and the guitar is examined for contemporary solutions and the study reveals both advantages and drawbacks of the application of sound reinforcement.
description: The idiosyncrasies of the guitar are such that, commonly, only composers proficient on or knowledgeable about the instrument have been represented in the established repertoire. This trend is shown to be changing but, for potential non-guitarist composers, sources of information about how to write for guitar and guitar groups remain scant.

description: Multi-scale, multi-method integration of geological constraints, with new interpretations of potential field data and seismic reflection data, has resulted in a comprehensive structural interpretation of the southern Thomson Orogen, eastern Australia. The interpretation reveals ∼50 major faults and shear zones, many of which can be traced for several hundred kilometres. The interpretation suggests that the southern Thomson Orogen can be subdivided into several structural domains that can be distinguished by differences in: (i) spatial orientation, (ii) geographic distribution, and (iii) partly the timing of major faults, but also to varying degrees by (iv) the evolution and spatial orientation of other structural elements, such as folds, minor faults and fractures, (v) broader lithological trends, (vi) stratigraphy, and (vii) structural style. The two largest domains are the Western Structural Domain that contains numerous faults and shear zones, and the fold-dominated Eastern Structural Domain, which is more strongly affected by late- to post-Devonian thrusting than the Western Structural Domain. Notwithstanding their differences, the domains can be integrated into a coherent structural model for the southern Thomson Orogen, which suggests that the area represents a set of megafolds or oroclines, which may have formed during the Bindian Orogeny.

Quando il teatro va al museo. Una storia di oggi

Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: From the early 1970s, the British playwrights of the last thirty years have often turned their attention to existing collections, museums or curatorship. This essay will analyse two plays which are built around a “question of attribution”.  Alan Bennett’s A Question of Attribution (1988) puts on stage the art historian Anthony Blunt, director of the Courtauld Institute and personal art advisor to Queen Elizabeth II, who is puzzled by the interpretation and attribution of Titian’s Allegory of Prudence and Triple Portrait. In Bennett’s plot the investigations to ascertain the attribution of the paintings overlap with a Secret Service officer’s enquiries about Blunt, suspected to be a secret spy to the service of Russian KGB. David Edgar’s Pentecost (1994) is an intellectual thriller, where the discovery of a fresco which could be of great relevance for the whole history of Western art is set within the tragedy of Sarajevo. The museological questions of connoisseurship, restoration and conservation are at the core of the play, but besides them the play shows that the museum is deeply compromised with the memory and history of a nation and contributes to define its identity.  This essay will investigate the ways through which the two playwrights have adopted a detective story perspective to link the theme of the correct identification of a work of art to questions of identity, memory and national history.

Metagenomic study of microbial communities in the South China Sea
Creators: name: Song, Jessica Xiaophing
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The South China Sea (SCS) harbours a wide range of marine habitats within which exists a rich biodiversity. However, few studies have been published on its diverse communities, particularly in regards to its microbial counterparts. As the key players behind many of the vital processes that are carried out in the ocean, marine prokaryotes have thus been made the focus of this study, placing emphasis on community composition and structure, as well as their metabolic potential. By employing next generation shotgun sequencing technologies, we assessed the taxonomic structure of the prokaryotic communities in the surface waters collected from four characteristic sites located along the coast of Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines. All studied locations were dominated by members of the Proteobacteria (Alpha- and Gamma-) and Cyanobacteria (Synechococcus sp. and Prochlorococcus sp.). The highest proportion of Gammaproteobacteria was found in Sarawak, representing an approximate 20% of total sequences. The class consisted of Alteromonodales, Pseudomonadales, Oceanospirillales and Enterobacteriales across all sites, which is similar to previous studies, except in Singapore where Vibrionales made up 50% of the group. Archaeal assemblages were made up largely of Euryarchaeota and unclassified sequences, while Crenarchaeota and Thaumarchaeota were present in much smaller proportions, except in Philippines where Thaumarchaeota made up almost 40% of the entire taxa. Based on physicochemical parameters, the prokaryotic communities in the seawater samples collected from both Singapore and Sarawak appeared to be subject to an anthropogenic influence (shipping harbour and river runoff), resulting in a significant difference in community structure compared to the other sites. Through our findings, we also observed that the majority of the microbial communities adhered to a core set of genes across the different locations. Among all the different sites, the Singapore (S1605) sample appeared to be the furthest removed in terms of functional similarities. The proportion of the major metabolic functions found in these waters differed from the other sites (Sarawak, Kota Kinabalu, Philippines), where amino acid metabolism was the most dominant but with a significantly lower count of protein metabolism genes. The biogeochemically relevant genes found here also differed substantially from the other locations, with two-fold the number of phosphate, and lipid and glycan metabolism genes. Based on the patterns observed, the environmental parameters appeared to play a larger role in determining the structure of these microbial communities rather than geographical variation. The results obtained from this study provide the first comparison of prokaryotic communities found in the surface waters of the eastern region of the South China Sea and will serve as a good platform for many prospective areas of study.
Il museo di antropologia come museo culturale: il caso del MOA di Vancouver
Creators: name: Gualtieri, Claudia
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: This essay will examine anthropology museums as cultural museums from the methodological approach of Cultural Studies. Within this frame, the museum acts as a mode of conservation of material culture thus revealing its immaterial consequences. In the museum, historical memories are preserved and re-enacted to articulate cultural identities in the present, to shed light on the past, and to illuminate future communal practices. After a brief survey on collections in the epoch of European geographical discoveries and on the birth of anthropology as a science in colonial times, the essay will consider the exhibition of cultural artefacts belonging to the First Nations of British Columbia in the Museum of Anthropology (MOA) in Vancouver. References to native land claims will help to understand the links between time and place, history and geography, cultural memory and land that are central to native re-constructions of identity. Through a critical reading of conventional ethnographic and anthropological criteria in museum displays, the codes of conservation and repatriation will be introduced in relation to the notion of native title and cultural property. The MOA will be used as a case in point to explore practices of negotiation with native peoples. The indigenous worldview regarding the use of objects and the performance of a living culture will be presented as opposed to the conventional aesthetic appreciation and exhibition of cultural objects. The essay will then illustrate how museums are produced and organised according to ideologically relevant standpoints in specific times and places, and how visitor-oriented practices should address a critical reading of dynamics of power and knowledge control in contemporary societies.

description: The purpose of this research was to propose a sustainability model of Vietnamese women entrepreneurs. The study addresses questions concerning factors that trigger decisions by Vietnamese women to start a business or transition from employee to ownership status; identifies obstacles encountered because of societal prejudice and government policies; and examines the factors associated with business success.
description: To investigate these research questions, a mixed methods approach was adopted. For the qualitative phase of the study, 30 Vietnamese women entrepreneurs were interviewed. Thematic analysis performed on interview data revealed that Vietnamese women entrepreneurs face social prejudice regarding their business expertise, that the Vietnamese government is not effectively communicating its support to these women, and that its policies are too vague.
description: For the quantitative phase, 144 women entrepreneurs, independent of the participants for the qualitative phase, were surveyed. Analysis of results revealed that financial knowledge and club membership were positively correlated to measures of growth and sustainability. Further, in relation to net profit as the measure of success, the effects of a moderator of perceived barriers was found to be negative, and a moderator of government contributions to growth and sustainability was found to be positive. This latter finding contradicted the findings of the qualitative analysis, indicating a need for further research on this topic among this population. Future researchers and policymakers can utilise these findings to further explore the effectiveness of some current supportive policies, and to create strategies for female Vietnamese entrepreneurs, leading to an increase in the overall sustainability and security of these women in both society and the economy.

description: Visiting the National Immigration Museum is the occasion to think over the relation between a Country and its immigration history. Retrieving the memory of the transoceanic  migration to Argentina which characterized the last decades, is a process based upon the complex interconnection between the individual level and the general one; and whereas immigration as a mass phenomenon turns into an individual experience, the personal recollection is the tool that allows us to reconstruct the past social project and also to give shape to the existing National identity.
Thus the Museum acts as safeguard for the immigration memory and at the same time for the political institutional legitimisation and it represents the promise of a prosperous future like the last decades did.

Social anxiety and memory: the role of social anxiety in the prediction of affective valence of self-defining autobiographical memories and neural differences in working memory
Creators: name: Neo, Felicia
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This research centres on Social Anxiety and Depression based on the DSM-V and analyzing how this comorbidity affects other variables like self-esteem and memory components. Both behavioral and neuroscientific aspects were incorporated into this study by examining the dominion of autobiographical memory via the behavioral trajectory; whilst the course of neuroscientific exploration was routed via the study of working memory processing and utilizing EEG in recording brain activity. It was discovered that social anxiety and depression largely correlated with self-esteem as expected; and social anxiety specifically had a large impact on both memory components.

description: An extensive analysis into the new final eight system employed by the AFL was undertaken using certain criteria as a benchmark. An Excel spreadsheet was set up to fully examine every possible outcome. It was found that the new system failed on a number of important criteria such as the probability of a premiership decreasing for lower ranked teams, and the most likely scenario of the grand final being the top two ranked sides. This makes the new system more unjust than the previous McIntyre Final Eight system.

Year: 2010
Subjects: competitiveness; destination competitive position; decision process; Italian tourism demand

description: The success in international competition in a given industry depends on the “factor conditions” or “drivers” of competitiveness. Among the models of destination competitive position, the paper presents an econometric model for support the estimation of destination competitiveness empirical index at the micro level. The measurement of tourism demand for each destination and the identification of the factors which drive the transformation on the demand schedule in consumption choices is the final goal of this survey (stratified sample of 1200 Italian tourists).
description: La competitività internazionale delle destinazioni  turistiche è analizzata in questo lavoro modellando il processo decisionale di formazione della domanda turistica e svolgendo un’indagine statistica per valutare empiricamente le categorie del  modello e misurare il posizionamento d’immagine e il posizionamento competitivo delle destinazioni. Tale impostazione ha consentito l’analisi dei fattori di competitività delle destinazioni  turistiche derivante sia dalle caratteristiche oggettive dell’offerta (prezzi, struttura ricettiva, ambiente, storia, cultura, accessibilità fisica e telematica), sia dall’attività promozionale e dalla forza della “marca destinazione”. Il posizionamento delle destinazioni turistiche internazionali durante le diverse fasi del processo decisionale è stato valutato empiricamente mediante un’indagine telefonica su un campione rappresentativo della popolazione turistica italiana. Le destinazioni marine italiane perdono generalmente quota in questo processo in favore delle destinazioni  marine spagnole il cui fattore di successo non è quindi tanto nella promozione il ranking delle destinazioni italiane nel brand positioning è buono) , quanto  nelle caratteristiche dell’offerta e, in particolare, nel destination management  che migliora il posizionamento competitivo di molte destinazioni estere (Costa Brava, coste croate e isole greche).

Illegal and “Legal” Spatial Blight: the Ecomostri
Il degrado abusivo e il "degrado legale" del territorio: gli ecomostri
Creators: name: Cicchetti, Anna; University Of Bologna

Subjects: space; illegal blight; legal blight; ecomostro

description: The paper analyses the illegal and legal spatial blight, linked by abuse and disfigurement of the surrounding buildings, seen as wrong planning and balanced land use, wear disguise tourism, which only serve to justify and make winning the project and obtain the law permits. The pathology of urbanization without criteria or measures, connected to unspecified reasons tourism, which retain only the meaning of terminology has led the Italian news in some respects and the case for others to deal with those now commonly and sadly are known as ecomostri (eye-sores) . An effective tourism policy can be a powerful lever for sustainable development, or even a tool for sustainable tourism landscape transformed into a landscape of decay.
description: Il fenomeno di una urbanizzazione senza criteri né misure, collegata a ragioni turistiche, molto spesso opportunistiche, è affrontato dalla giurisprudenza nella sua azione di controllo del territorio: ne sono un caso esemplare gli “ecomostri”, ormai comunemente e tristemente sono conosciuti dalla società civile. Queste costruzioni di grande impatto territoriale, ambientale e paesaggistico, in alcuni casi sono legittimati da interventi normativi non bene soppesati e in altri avvengono in maniera c.d. abusiva, con l’unica conseguenza, in entrambe le ipotesi, di deturpare l’ambiente circostante sotto molteplici profili, non ultimo quello incidente su località turistiche. Il contributo si pone l’obiettivo di contribuire ad una politica turistica attenta al profilo ambientale: occorre individuare una maggiore cogenza e conoscenza normativa a favore di una pianificazione urbanistica e politica del paesaggio, in grado di sostenere il recupero, la riqualificazione e valorizzazione delle bellezze naturali presenti sul territorio. Solo il coinvolgimento e la necessaria collaborazione di tutti i soggetti del territorio per una programmazione orientata a realizzare uno «sviluppo capace di rispondere ai bisogni delle generazioni attuali, senza compromettere la capacità delle generazioni future di rispondere ai propri».

The process of reviewing portfolio of sustainable development: a community interaction

description: Sustainable Development, as a concept, has been with us for a while now. Research communities (providers) have developed sophistication in understanding and approach to the field. Research funders (clients) have actively supported the topic area. In New Zealand, the dominant research provider for general science research, the Foundation for Research Science and Technology, has recently completed a round of consultation with stakeholders aimed at adjusting current priorities and strategies for sustainable development. This paper examines the methods used by the Foundation to ensure consultation with stakeholders and categorises them according to the community interactions typology proposed by (Heywood et al., 2002). The analysis, undertaken by paper review and participatory action research, suggests that the approach is consultative/ participatory but that the results could have been improved with a shift toward a more deliberative approach. This has implications for future change processes in the New Zealand research funding system, particularly with regard to the portfolio review of the Built Environment topic area.

description: The objective of this study was to examine longitudinal associations between perceived quality of living spaces and mental and physical health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among homeless and vulnerably housed individuals living in three Canadian cities. The Health and Housing in Transition (HHiT) study was a prospective cohort study conducted between 2009 and 2013 of N = 1190 individuals who were homeless and vulnerably housed at baseline. Perceived quality of living spaces (based on rated comfort, safety, spaciousness, privacy, friendliness and overall quality) and both mental and physical HRQoL were assessed at baseline and at four annual follow up points. Generalized estimating equation (GEE) analyses were used to examine associations between perceived quality of living spaces and both mental and physical HRQoL over the four-year study period, controlling for time-varying housing status, health and socio-demographic variables. The results showed that higher perceived quality of living spaces was positively associated with mental (b = 0.42; 95% CI 0.38—0.47) and physical (b = 0.11; 95% CI 0.07—0.15) HRQoL over the four-year study period. Findings indicate that policies aimed at increasing HRQoL in this population should prioritize improving their experienced quality of living spaces.

description: Roma era la ‘Città della Grazia’, un polo di attrazione per i chierici che visitavano le tombe degli apostoli e vi prendevano dimora in cerca di nuove opportunità di ascesa sociale con la speranza di ottenere benefici ecclesiastici o impieghi curiali. Questo articolo si inoltra in regni ampiamente ignorati dagli studiosi dell’Età moderna: le istituzioni ‘medievali’ del papato, che continuavano a sfornare migliaia di bolle e brevi anche agli esordi dell’epoca moderna. Le disposizioni relative alle province ecclesiastiche di Malines e Cambrai e al principato vescovile di Liegi forniscono un ottimo punto di partenza per esplorare alcune dinamiche attive nel mercato del lavoro dei chierici e i corrispondenti interessi dei burocrati romani che cercavano di manipolarlo.
