Year: 2020

description: Des mesures de résistivité électrique uni-fréquentielles, par une « méthode deux points », sont réalisées sur une série de bétons de granulats recyclés où les graviers naturels sont substitués par des graviers recyclés. Ces résultats, comparés aux principaux indicateurs de la durabilité des bétons (porosité et diffusions des ions chlorures), montrent que la résistivité, qui décroît lorsque la porosité augmente, ne permet pas toujours de discriminer clairement les différents bétons. Cette étude est donc étendue à une large gamme de fréquences, afin de déterminer les impédances spectrales des bétons à base de granulats recyclés. Leur comportement est analysé et les résultats permettent alors de distinguer nettement les différents bétons et l’influence des taux de substitution.

description: The purpose of this study is to determine the extent of inherence of ethics in personal finance of Muslim Filipinos in Barangay San Jose, Island Garden City of Samal by describing their shared experiences as they engage with a capitalist financial system while upholding Islamic ethical values. This study employed qualitative research design. Specifically, Husserlian phenomenological thematic strategy was used. The population of this research consisted of 550 Muslim Filipinos of Tausug descent. Six people were purposively chosen to be participants for the individual in-depth interview. Another six individuals were tapped for the focus group discussion. Triangulation of data sources for reliability was completed by interviewing the chieftain and the imam who served as key informants. Data were analyzed with the aid of Hermeneutics analysis. The study findings indicated that the participants did have a fundamental knowledge of Islamic ethics. Moreover, the participants were found to have basic understanding of riba- considered central in Islamic finance. The study also indicated that some participants, being situated in a non-Islamic country, were able to uphold ethical values in their personal finance while others failed to do so at least in the area of microfinance. The study recommends that Al-Amanah Islamic bank conduct financial literacy seminar among the participants and in the participants’ community. It is also recommended that program heads include Islamic finance subject in the curriculum so as to close knowledge gaps regarding Islamic finance.
A systems approach to assessment of left ventricular outflow tract anatomy and function: the aortoventricular interface in the era of transcatheter aortic valve replacement
Creators: name: Gooley, Robert Peter
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The aortoventricular interface describes the functional syncytium between the left ventricle and proximal aorta, necessary for normal central haemodynamic operation. Normal function would be considered as providing for optimal passage of oxygenated blood delivered from the left ventricle through the aortic valve to the systemic circulation. Non-­‐optimal function of the aortic valve through congenital malformation or degenerative processes is associated with a clear constellation of clinical signs and symptoms and with a well established natural history. These can all be understood on the basis of loss of normal function. Narrowing of the aortic orifice results in decreased systemic blood pressure, syncope, decreased exercise ability, left ventricular remodelling compensating for increased wall stress, secondary mitral and atrial dysfunction and increased pulmonary pressures. Aortic incompetence with its well known features of left ventricular dilatation, exertional fatigue, dyspnoea and palpitations is also explained by the deranged haemodynamic effects due to loss of hydraulic separation (temporal and spatial) between the low and high pressure components across the aortoventricular interface. The common connection between these clinical entities is the disruption of appropriate flow across the left ventricular outflow tract – aortic valve – proximal aorta anatomical continuum. In health the structure of this interface functions to provide optimally matched volume blood flow with appropriate direction and timing for optimal energy utilisation and supply. Disturbance in the normal anatomy and its associated clinical symptoms or signs are well described but the failure in underlying function not usually acknowledged. This thesis aims, in the first instance, to review and, thereafter, to investigate, the potential influence of anatomy and function on both sides of the aortoventricular interface in populations without aortic valve disease, with aortic valve stenosis and post-­‐ treatment. Assessment based on modern anatomical imaging technology provides a concrete structural representation of left ventricular – aortic mechanisms. This thesis will present work aimed at integrating structural assessment by computed tomography with assessment of clinical function in patients affected by stenosis of the aortic valve and following percutaneous aortic valve intervention.

description: This study presents an experimental study to evaluate the feasibility of using bamboo as reinforcement
 in reinforced concrete beam and bamboo reinforcement contribution in increasing carrying capacity of
 plane concrete beam as well as its effect on deflection of a beam. To achieve this objectives series of
 physical and mechanical properties test on low land bamboo collected from Didesa west wollega,
 Oromia regional state were conducted. Also, one-point loading tests on bamboo reinforced concrete
 beam with different concrete grade were performed to identify their behavior and characteristic
 comparison with plane concrete beam.
 Mechanical properties of bamboo were tested for its compression and flexural strength test. Test result
 were recorded 91.93MPa compressive stress, 102.27MPa flexural strength and tensile strength of
 151.4MPa. Modulus of elasticity 21880N/mm2 were obtained. These mechanical properties of lowland
 bamboo show that bamboo splits can be used as reinforcement in reinforced concrete beam.
 In this study for investigating flexural property of bamboo reinforced concrete beam and plane concrete
 beam total of 32 three-point bending test were conducted. Plane concrete beam fails with crushing of
 the beam whereas all the bamboo reinforced concrete beam samples were failed by pure flexural failure.
 For plane concrete beam a load of11.51KN for M20 concrete grade to 20.54KN for M50 concrete grade
 was recorded and also for bamboo reinforced concrete beam a load of 41.85KN for M20 to 79.34KN
 for M50 concrete grade. This shows presence of bamboo reinforcement improves deflection and load
 carrying capacity of plane concrete beam by 3.25 to 3.89 times

Novice riders use of Powered-Two-Wheelers for commuting: insight using the theory of planned behaviour
Creators: name: Amani Jordehi, Babak
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Globally the rapid growth of motorisation is creating increasing concerns that affect urban mobility and amenity. Increased motor vehicle ownership and use in urban areas, particularly in developed countries including Australia, has led to the increase of vehicle congestion, elongating travel times and the need to provide more parking facilities in already crowded urban areas. While considerable research attention has been focussing on the challenges associated with increasing private car travel in urban areas, relatively little research has been conducted on the use of alternative motorised forms of private personal transport, specifically motorcycles and motor scooters collectively referred to as Powered-Two-Wheel (PTW) vehicles. The aim of this research was to develop understanding of the parameters contributing enormously to the use of PTW for commuting, particularly by novice riders who have recently taken up riding. In this context, many studies, which have sought to engage PTW riders in travel related research, as opposed to road safety research, have struggled to recruit participants. An explicit dimension of this research was to examine the effectiveness of strategies designed to maximise the recruitment and retention of study participants. The empirical results highlight the value of using reminders along with a prize draw with one high value prize rather than a number of lower value prizes. Higher recruitment of younger riders was achieved using a professionally designed postcard with a Quick Response Code (QR code), which provided direct access to the survey web site for respondents using a Smartphone. Results of this research provide valuable insight into the range of techniques, which can be used to increase response rate in the researches aiming to recruit PTW riders. In this research, the extent to, which novice riders commute using a PTW has been analysed through the lens of the Theory of Planned Behaviour. Data collected in a panel survey of novice riders in Victoria, Australia was used to develop a model of commuting by the use of PTW. Attitudinal parameters along with the advantages associated with the use of PTW for commuting were found to explain 55 percent of the variation in the travel behaviour of respondents. Social norms were not found to have a significant effect on the extent to, which novice riders used a PTW for commuting. Results of this research provide new and valuable insights into the researches aiming to develop travel mode choice models, travel assignment models and PTW safety models.

Polypharmacy in the heart failure patient: are all prescribed drug classes required?
Creators: name: Hopper, Ingrid Kate
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Background and aims: Heart failure (HF) is a complex disease process with high mortality and high costs to the community. Major inroads have been made in reducing the high morbidity and mortality associated, largely by the use of drug therapies that focus on key neurohormonal systems activated in HF with demonstrated mortality benefits. Other therapies are also employed in the HF setting that do not have mortality benefits, and contribute to polypharmacy in HF patients. Polypharmacy, defined herein as the use of five or more prescription medications, is increasing in HF patients. This thesis aims to explore the issue of polypharmacy in the HF patient, and whether all prescribed drug classes are required. Methods: A systematic review of the medical literature on drug withdrawal trials was performed to identify which drugs could and could not be withdrawn in HF. Three randomised clinical trials were conducted investigating the effect of withdrawing digoxin, aspirin or statin in stable HF patients. Qualitative methods were used to explore attitudes of clinician prescribers and HF patients to medications, looking in particular at withdrawal of medications. Results: This thesis examined the available data on medication withdrawal in HF patients and translated it into practical recommendations for prescribers; demonstrated that with contemporaneous background HF therapies, withdrawal of digoxin worsens HF clinical status and that withdrawal of statins or aspirin does not; found that HF patients with polypharmacy are largely not dissatisfied with the number of medications they take, and that prescribing clinicians recognise polypharmacy as important but address it infrequently in clinical practice. Conclusions: It is expected that polypharmacy will increase in HF patients. This research provides an evidence base with which clinicians can address polypharmacy in HF in their clinical practice.

Procedural integrity and social validity issues in parent use of the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) in naturalistic settings
Creators: name: Jurgens, Anneke
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: While recent reviews of the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) research have provided support for the efficacy of PECS, they have also identified the need for future research to examine the long term maintenance of skills acquired through PECS training, as well as the social validity and procedural integrity of the intervention as used in practice (Flippin, Reszka, & Watson, 2010; S. L. Hart & Banda, 2010; Preston & Carter, 2009; Sulzer-Azaroff, Hoffman, Horton, Bondy, & Frost, 2009; Tincani & Devis, 2011). The aim of the present study was to examine the social validity and procedural integrity of parent implemented PECS in naturalistic settings, utilising three approaches: an analysis of YouTube videos, an internet survey, and a long-term follow-up. Results demonstrated a high rate of observed and reported procedural errors in parent’s implementation of PECS with their children in naturalistic settings and limited long-term maintenance of skills acquired through PECS training, despite parents indicating that they feel overwhelmingly positive about the PECS program, including the program’s effectiveness and ease of implementation. These results contribute to a better understanding of parents’ use of PECS with their children in naturalistic settings and highlight the contextual variables that are likely to affect the maintenance of gains acquired through PECS training. Further implications of these results are discussed.

ATF3 expression as a marker of response to histone deacetylase inhibition of bladder cancer progression
Creators: name: Sooraj, Dhanya
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017

description: Improved treatment strategies are required for bladder cancer, due to frequent recurrence of low-grade tumors and poor survival rate from high-grade tumors with current therapies. Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi), approved as single agents for specific lymphomas, have shown promising preclinical results in solid tumors but could benefit from identification of biomarkers for response. Loss of activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) expression is a feature of bladder tumor progression, and correlates with poor clinical survival. This study investigated the utility of measuring ATF3 expression as marker of response to the HDACi Pracinostat in bladder cancer models. Pracinostat treatment of bladder cancer cell lines reactivated expression of ATF3, correlating with significant alteration in proliferative, migratory and anchorage-dependent growth capacities. Pracinostat induced growth arrest at the G0/G1 cell cycle phase, coincident with activation of tumor suppressor genes. Pracinostat treatment also induced sensitivity of bladder cancer cells to chemotherapy in vitro. In mouse xenograft bladder cancer models, Pracinostat treatment significantly reduced tumor volumes compared to controls, accompanied by re-expression of ATF3 in non-proliferating cells from early to late stage of therapy, and in parallel induced anti-angiogenesis and apoptosis. Importantly, cells in which ATF3 expression was depleted were less sensitive to Pracinostat treatment in vitro, exhibiting significantly higher proliferative and migratory properties. In vivo, control xenograft tumors were significantly more responsive to treatment than ATF3 knockdown xenografts. This study also identified a potential target of ATF3 - RB1, a key tumor suppressor, in regulating the non-malignant phenotype. Mechanistic studies revealed that overexpression of ATF3 upregulated RB1 expression, concomitant with cell cycle arrest. I conclude that the reactivation of ATF3 is pivotal in determining sensitivity to Pracinostat treatment, both in vitro and in vivo, and could serve as a potential biomarker of response, and provide a rationale for therapeutic utility in HDACi-mediated treatments for bladder cancer.

description: Cette communication porte sur l’analyse du comportement des ouvrages de soutènements flexibles, en l’occurrence des rideaux de palplanches. En pratique et selon [NFP 09], ce type d’ouvrage est dimensionné en section droite sans prise en compte de la variabilité spatiale du sol. Les outils de calcul numérique tridimensionnel classiques permettent difficilement d’évaluer l’effet de cette variabilité spatiale sur le comportement de ces ouvrages. Une approche probabiliste est développée, celle-ci est basée d’une part, sur une modélisation des propriétés du sol par des champs aléatoires et d’autre part, sur une modélisation de l’interaction sol-structure par un système de plaque sur coefficient de réaction « MISS-PLQ-CR ». La méthode MISS-PLQ-CR est aussi performante que les méthodes 3D classiques mais moins couteuse en termes de temps de calcul. Une parallélisation des calculs sur cluster a également été réalisée. Les premiers résultats exprimés en termes d’indices de fiabilité montrent l’intérêt de la prise en compte de la dimension longitudinale et de la variabilité spatiale des propriétés du sol.

Employer attitudes towards older workers in Australia
Creators: name: McLoughlin, Christopher Caedmon
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This research was concerned with the management of Australia’s labour supply, considering prospects for extending working lives against the backdrop of demographic change. Numerous factors have thrust the prolongation of Australians’ working lives to the forefront for policy-makers, researchers, non- government organisations and employers, including: the ageing of the Australian population; issues of social welfare, for example, warnings regarding the imminent retirement of so-called baby boomers expected to reduce available skilled workers, reduce labour force participation rates and raise dependency ratios; macroeconomic factors; and social justice factors, for example, discrimination against older workers in personnel decisions. Commentators argue the key policy challenges presented by population ageing are connected. The solution lies in increasing the engagement of older people in activity and dispelling the ageist views of an ageing population as inaccurate and counterproductive; this demographic shift should be viewed as an opportunity. Discrimination on the basis of age has been noted as an important barrier to labour force participation of older workers. Older workers’ labour market experiences have attracted research interest for decades. One facet has been employers’ attitudes. Eighteen studies have assessed employers’ attitudes towards older workers since initial work in the mid 1970s. The results of this research have been far from consistent in the demonstration of differences in employer attitudes across demographic and organisational characteristics and how these attitudes are associated with organisational practices. In the present study, 595 employers in medium and large organisations were surveyed on a range of workforce management issues. This study simultaneously assessed employer attitudes towards workers in age groups spanning a working life. Attitudes towards older workers were compared across organisational and individual characteristics and their association with organisational practices were assessed. Employers’ responses indicated positive and negative attitudes toward older workers that were interpreted overall as suggesting specific approaches to remove attitudinal barriers hindering the prolongation of working lives.

description: Event cameras provide a natural and data efficient representation of visual information, motivating novel computational strategies towards extracting visual information. Inspired by the biological vision system, we propose a behavior driven approach for object-wise distance estimation from event camera data. This behavior-driven method mimics how biological systems, like the human eye, stabilize their view based on object distance: distant objects require minimal compensatory rotation to stay in focus, while nearby objects demand greater adjustments to maintain alignment. This adaptive strategy leverages natural stabilization behaviors to estimate relative distances effectively. Unlike traditional vision algorithms that estimate depth across the entire image, our approach targets local depth estimation within a specific region of interest. By aligning events within a small region, we estimate the angular velocity required to stabilize the image motion. We demonstrate that, under certain assumptions, the compensatory rotational flow is inversely proportional to the object's distance. The proposed approach achieves new state-of-the-art accuracy in distance estimation - a performance gain of 16% on EVIMO2. EVIMO2 event sequences comprise complex camera motion and substantial variance in depth of static real world scenes.
Investment efficiency and compensation committee expertise

description: Building upon agency, resource dependence, and group decision making theories, this thesis aims to investigate investment efficiency in the light of compensation committee attributes. With US data from 2003 to 2010, the results of this thesis show that business expertise, which is particularly proxied by CEO experience, and legal expertise are important attributes for compensation committee members if they are to design efficient compensation contracts that encourage CEOs to undertake efficient investment projects. While both CEO and legal expertise are found to enhance investment efficiency, the latter, i.e., legal expertise has a more pronounced effect in mitigating under- and over-investment. Contrary to expectation, accounting/finance expertise appears to exacerbate over-investment. In the presence of business – CEO and legal attributes, however, the effect of accounting/finance expertise is significant to enhance investment efficiency, particularly when the accounting/finance attribute is mixed or joint with the other two types of expertise, although not all regression models used in the study are consistent in predicting this significant effect. Relative to the results reported in the single expertise regressions, mixed and joint expertise amongst compensation committee members are documented to have stronger effects on investment efficiency. A further analysis that disaggregates the total investment into three components: capital expenditure, acquisition and R&D investment is then undertaken to provide an explanation for the inconsistency in the main regression results. The additional analysis indicates that of the three components of total investment, the effect of the single, mixed and joint expertise of the compensation committee is more pronounced on R&D investments due to the distinct features of this type of investment. Finally, this thesis does not only complement the existing literature of investment efficiency and executive compensation through the examination of more aligned compensation contracts arranged by compensation committee members with significant attributes, but it also recommends to the market authorities the importance of regulating these attributes as a mandatory requirement for the members of compensation committees in performing their governance function effectively, which has been overlooked in the past.

description: Investigated derivatives of 5-mercaptotetrazoles as redox mediator in DSCs and corrosion inhibitors for metal charge collectors employed in large scale DSCs and observed that structural modifications in the 5-mercaptotetrazoles lead to differences in corrosion inhibition properties. Four wire sense measurement and cyclic voltammetry were utilized as characterization tools for characterizing the corrosion inhibition and suppression of recombination by 5-mercaptotetrazoles at the silver metal - electrolyte interface. The results were compared with standard iodine and cobalt based electrolytes. Rate of corrosion was two orders of magnitude lesser for the phenyl based 5-mercaptotetrazole derivative electrolyte compared to standard iodine and cobalt based electrolytes (0.2 nm/hr vs >3600 μm/hr respectively). STM measurements were carried out to characterize[1] the coverage of the silver metal surface by the derivatives of 5-mercaptotetrazoles. Depending on the structure a dense monolayer could be achieved. Small and large area solar cells were fabricated utilizing the 5-mercaptotetrazoles as redox mediator and a proof of principle device achieved reasonable efficiency. Application of thiolate based electrolyte in development of ptype DSC and pn-DSC In addition, 5-methyl mercaptotetrazoles based electrolyte(Tph) was also investigated in p-type and pn-DSCs. We observed that applying these thiolate based electrolytes resulted in an improvement in VOC in p-DSCs compared to the devices based on iodide electrolytes, while maintaining similar JSC (5.3 mA/cm2) values. We also employed the Tph electrolyte in tandem DSCs with film thicknesses optimized for both the Tph and Iodine based electrolytes, we observed that the tandem cells based on the non-corrosive thiolate electrolyte exhibited similar conversion efficiencies (1.33%) to those based on iodide electrolytes (1.28 %). Our results reveal the great promise which the thiolate based electrolytes holds for future applications in p-DSCs and pn-DSCs.

Subjects: Mihtsab Azmat Dam Earthen Dam Seepage Slope stability, SLOPE/W and SEEP/W Software.

description: Embankment dams are structures used for water storage, energy production, flood control and
 irrigation. One of the main causes of the embankment dam failure is seepage and slope
 instability. The study area is Mihtsab Azmat dam which is zoned earth fill dam with 133m long
 and 56m height with upstream slope 1:3 and downstream slope 1:2.5, which is found in Tigray
 Regional state and constructed by Tigray water work constriction enterprise from 2004 to
 2008E.C for irrigation purpose. During construction of MA dam, there exists a quantity of
 water flow at the downstream of the dam and thus causes loss of the water stored in the
 reservoir before it is utilized as it is designed to serve. Still there was linkage at the
 downstream toe. If this quantity of seepage is not prevent on time, it may lead to failure or
 heavy damage to the dam. Therefore, seepage and safety evaluations are vital to determine the
 status of a dam relative to its structural and operational safety. The study of this thesis is to
 evaluate seepage and slope stability of the Mihtsab Azmat earthen dam by analytical and
 numerical method then to identify problems and recommend possible mitigation measures.
 From the simulated results measured analytically which is by floating method
 seepage0.0047𝑚3 𝑠 is higher than the estimated seepage value using software at both
 conditions that is at 1517, 0.0013𝑚3 𝑠, 1487, 0.00071𝑚3 𝑠 also greater than the designed
 one, 0.002𝑚3 𝑠 this shows that there is an excessive seepage through the dam body and
 foundation which may lead to seepage failure. The seepage source has been identified using the
 electrical conductivity and temperature taken from the reservoir and downstream toe drained
 water, the conductivity and temperature result of the reservoir is higher than the downstream
 toe. Up on the result can be concluded that the accumulated flow water existed at the
 downstream toe of the dam is created from the leakage of the stored reservoir water and the
 initial point of leakage is at the downstream of the dam near to the left abutment then Grouting
 at the contact of the embankment and abutment wall is proposed as remedial measurement.
 Slope stability analysis was performed for the critical slopes using the limit equilibrium
 SLOPE/W software based on the Ordinary, Bishop, Janbu, Morgenstern-Price and Spencer
 methods safety factors, Based on recommended design standards such as: - BDS, USBR and
 USACE of MA Dam was conducted using Geo-studio 2007 software products and the result
 meets the recommended range of design standard.

description: The intent of this paper is to use a simplified finite element model to simulate the reinforced concrete frame by using Timoshenko beam elements for columns and beams and the modified Takeda model for the sectional behavior. The model takes into account the non-linear behavior of a reinforced concrete by introducing laws behavior that reflects the real behavior. A failure criterion that is based on the ultimate rotations of the element is associated with finite element model to study the local failure that occur in the frame at any point of the model. The FEMA 273 has given these ultimate rotations. In order to validate the model, the RC frame tested by Vecchio was simulated and therefore, the numerical results have been compared to those of the experiment.
