description: Over the last decade especially, the promise of stem cell technology to cure a multitude of genetic disorders and diseases has been at the forefront of medical research. To meet the large supply of these cells needed for clinical applications, three-dimensional modes of culture in combination with differing bioreactor designs will most likely be necessary, optimised relative to the particular cell or tissue sought. Stress upon cells or tissues, oxygen concentration, and mixing capacity are all important factors that influence the culture outcome. As such, the optimisation of bioreactor designs should include the fluid dynamic perspective. Within this thesis two novel bioreactors are investigated numerically primarily from the fluid dynamic perspective, providing insight into the effect that control and geometry parameters have on these factors. The first bioreactor studied was a Radial Aerial Disk Bioreactor (RADB), consisting of a layer of culture medium, within a shallow cylindrical vessel, beneath a layer of air. The flow within the fluid medium is driven by a disk rotating in the air layer. Three steady-state flow states within the medium were found, as the rotating speed of the impeller and the bioreactor geometry were varied. Additionally, metastability of these states was also identified. Importantly the stress distributions and oxygen concentrations within each state differed significantly, even at the same Reynolds number. The second bioreactor studied was an Inclined Disk Bioreactor (IDB), consisting of a cylindrical vessel full of fluid, again also beneath a layer of air, although in this instance the flow within the medium was directly driven at the bottom by a rotating end disk. The vortex breakdown bubble that occurs within this configuration was primarily investigated with regard to its structure as the control parameters, Reynolds number and tilt angle of the cylinder with the vertical axis, were varied. An open structure was found, with the degree of modification to the structure quantified as the parameters were varied. Overall, this thesis provides flow field, concentration, and stress characteristics for the bioreactors as a function of flow and geometrical parameters. It is hoped that this information will provide guidance to optimal bioreactor design and operation when combined with further biological focused studies conducted within Monash University and elsewhere.

description: Fluid-solid interaction (FSI) of both viscoelastic structures and structures subject to viscoelastic support was studied numerically using the spectral-element and immersedboundary methods. Broadly two classes of FSI problems were investigated: (a) Vortexinduced vibration of the circular cylinder on a viscoelastic support, and (b) flow-induced deformation (FID) of the thin viscoelastic plate. Standard Linear Solid (SLS) model used for modelling viscoelastic material. Viscoelastic material, unlike elastic material, has an elastic as well as viscous character when undergoing deformation. The VIV and FID shows the non-monotonic variation of vibration amplitude response with damping. The response of the cylinder for nonlinear viscoelastic support was also studied. The equivalent reduced velocity, a measure of nonlinearity, is affected by damping, showing a non-monotonic variation with damping. The results suggest that careful tuning of the damping may be effectively employed to enhance power output for energy extraction applications or to suppress flow-induced vibration when it is detrimental to the structure. In the last part of the program, Floquet stability analysis was applied to the wake of a circular cylinder under viscoelastic support to determine how vibration affects the transition to wake threedimensionality. Across the range of reduced velocity considered, it was observed that the maximum Re value for which the flow remains two-dimensional is 212.

description: Objetivo: Discutir o Traumatismo Cranioencefálico, suas principais características e sua relação com a saúde humana. Revisão bibliográfica: No Brasil, estudos epidemiológicos têm demonstrado que os principais mecanismos são acidentes de trânsito e quedas. Dentre as vítimas, a maior frequência no sexo masculino e adultos jovens, a Escala de Coma de Glasgow representa a ferramenta utilizada atualmente para classificar o TCE, sendo um método objetivo e eficaz, podendo ser utilizada aliada a Tomografia Computadorizada sem contraste. Outra forma de classificação, é dividir o mecanismo do trauma, podendo ser o TCE de natureza contusa ou penetrante. Os sinais de maior gravidade são os sugestivos de elevação da Pressão Intracraniana (PIC) o que podem ocasionar síndromes de saúde mental, gerando comprometimento neuropsicológico. A eritropoetina demonstrou-se eficaz na redução da mortalidade, mas não na redução de prejuízos decorrentes do TCE. Apesar disso, ainda há a possibilidade de ser realizada uma craniotomia descompressiva. Considerações finais: Embora avanços tenham ocorrido quanto ao tratamento e a redução de mortalidade devido ao progresso na compreensão do mecanismo de lesão e melhoria dos cuidados hospitalares, ainda há escassez de evidências científicas relativas a diversas abordagens terapêuticas usadas, o que suscita mais estudo para esclarecer tais lacunas.

The slipstream and wake structure of high-speed trains
Creators: name: Bell, James Robin
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This work investigates the slipstream, the airflow induced by a vehicles movement, of high-speed trains (HSTs). Such flows can be hazardous to waiting commuters at platforms, track-side workers and infrastructure. Scaled wind-tunnel and moving-model experimental methodologies were developed to assess the slipstream risk of HSTs in their prototype design phase. The slipstream of an Inter-City-Express 3 (ICE3) HST was measured and compared to full-scale experimental data. The scaled methodologies replicated the full-scale slipstream profiles and gust results when measured at low positions. However, they appeared less accurate at high measurement positions. This difficulty is proposed to be caused by the presence of ambient wind in the full-scale results and the higher Reynolds numbers, which reduces the overall coherence of the wake topology responsible for the peak slipstream velocities. Analysis of the scaled moving-model and full-scale results provided insight into the causal flow physics of the peak slipstream velocities. These results indicated that the fluctuation and resulting peak instantaneous velocity are a result of alternating `types' of individual slipstream runs that could be explained by capturing a periodic wake at different phases. A model of the salient time-averaged and unsteady features of the wake has been developed from numerous experimental wind-tunnel techniques and analysis. The wake features a pair of streamwise counter-rotating vortices that move downwards and outwards causing the largest slipstream velocities. The unsteady wake was found to contain vortex shedding from the train's sides and weaker vortex shedding from the roof that interact and merge with the streamwise vortices. This results in an anti-symmetric spanwise oscillation of the streamwise vortices with additional vertical translation at a frequency of St= 0.2. These dynamics cause the slipstream velocity to oscillate and results in the maximum instantaneous slipstream velocities measured, as the near-wake oscillated towards a stationary observer. The effect of modelling a reduced length train on the slipstream and wake was also investigated. Increasing L/H resulted in a thicker surface boundary layer that increased slipstream velocity above the streamwise vortices. The slipstream at low measurement positions and the time-average and unsteady wake appeared to be insensitive to the L/H modelled.

Convection heat transfer from cylinders in a porous medium using the two-equation energy model
Creators: name: Al-Sumaily, Gazy Faissal Saloomy
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This numerical study is directed at exploring the flow characteristics and thermal response for the flow over a circular cylinder(s) embedded in a horizontal packed bed under steady or unsteady forced convection. The analysis is made for an incompressible fluid flow through a two-dimensional bed, which consists of spherical particles that are packed randomly. The subproblems that are considered in the present study are: First, forced convective steady and pulsatile cross flows over a single cylinder placed in a porous bed. Where, for steady flow, the effects of the thermal and structural properties of the porous medium on the convective and conductive heat transfer to the fluid and solid phases, are examined. While, for pulsatile flow, the flow and heat transfer is investigated subject to a sinusoidally varying inlet flow, for both a non-filled and porous material filled channels. The effects of pulsation frequency and amplitude on heat transfer are quantified. Second, forced convective steady cross flow over multiple cylinders arranged in two staggered or in-line configurations, embedded in a porous bed. The focus is directed on how the spacing parameter between the cylinders affects heat transfer from each, at different thermal conductivity ratios and Reynolds numbers for both configurations. Specifically, the generalised momentum model, i.e., the Darcy-Brinkmann-Forchheimer (DBF) model, is employed to model the flow field. This takes into consideration the non-Darcian terms, such as inertial and viscous effects. Moreover, the energy transport within the solid and fluid phases is modelled using separate energy equations for each phase. This is sometimes called the Local Thermal Non-Equilibrium (LTNE) model, in that it makes no assumptions about local thermal equilibrium between phases. The additional convective heat transfer term between the fluid and solid phases, which emerges when using the two-phase model, is formulated using a documented empirical correlation. Furthermore, the thermal dispersion phenomenon due to the complex path of local fluid elements through the solid matrix, causing mixing and recirculation in both the longitudinal and the transverse directions, is incorporated in the modelling of the fluid phase energy equation.

Aerodynamics of Simplified and Detailed Heavy Vehicles
Creators: name: McArthur, Damien
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Aerospace Engineering
subject: FOS: Mechanical engineering

description: This work provides insight into the aerodynamic flow around heavy vehicles, and by doing so identifies opportunities for drag reduction. Two geometries were investigated, a simplified heavy vehicle model and a realistic Cab-Over-Engine model mated to a fully detailed box trailer. Through wake velocity surveys and base pressure measurements, the time averaged wakes of both simplified and detailed heavy vehicles were shown to contain a large toroidal vortex structure, oriented so that the lower arm of the vortex is in close proximity to the base of the vehicle. This structure is shown to be responsible for a region of strong suction on the lower part of the vehicle's base.

 The wake of the simplified vehicle was mapped with particle image velocimetry to produce a three dimensional representation of the domain of wake fluctuations, showing that the upper and side shear layers contained strong stream-wise fluctuations while the region near the wake closure point was dominated by cross-stream motions. Fourier analysis and Proper Orthogonal Decomposition identified two dominant unsteady processes, a bulk wake pumping at a Strouhal number of 0.08 and a von Karman-like shedding in the lateral direction at a Strouhal number of 0.17. By contrast, the lower region of the wake was found to be quite steady.

 Equivalent unsteady motions were identified for detailed heavy vehicles, with the coherence and frequency of the von Karman-like motions generally decreasing for configurations with higher drag. An additional low frequency motion was identified in the lower wake, this was attributed to separation from bluff under-body components.

 A comprehensive drag reduction program was applied to the detailed vehicle, illuminating the potential fuel savings achievable by incorporating well-known streamlining techniques to the current heavy vehicle fleet.

 The response of the wake to cross-wind and reduced ground clearance was investigated. It was found that in all conditions evidence could be seen of a vortex in close proximity to the lower region of the base, making this structure an important target for drag reduction. Passive flow control devices were implemented to dislocate this vortex with the aim of reducing its low pressure signature on the vehicle's base. A stream-wise splitter plate in-plane with the bottom of the vehicle caused the orientation of the wake to become mirrored in the vertical direction, resulting in a modest drag reduction.

Optimizing the accuracy of a compound archery bow
Creators: name: Park, James Lewis
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Major archery competitions are frequently won by very small margins - often by a single point in many hundreds. Consquently, small advantages in technique and equipment are very interesting and important. This study considered optimisation of the compound archery bow. The study provides a comprehensive analysis of the equipment, from the archer drawing the bow through to the arrow hitting the target. Optimisation is considered for the two major forms of competition: target archery and field archery, as conducted under international competition rules. One major archer technique error is also considered. Examination of the equipment used by top archers at major international tournaments suggests that those archers rarely have it fully optimised in accord with the findings of this study and that it should generally be possible to obtain an advantage of approximately 5% in wind drift reduction, corresponding to at least several ranking places. The thesis includes six published papers.

description: N-ary relational facts represent semantic correlations among more than two entities. While recent studies have developed link prediction (LP) methods to infer missing relations for knowledge graphs (KGs) containing n-ary relational facts, they are generally limited to transductive settings. Fully inductive settings, where predictions are made on previously unseen entities, remain a significant challenge. As existing methods are mainly entity embedding-based, they struggle to capture entity-independent logical rules. To fill in this gap, we propose an n-ary subgraph reasoning framework for fully inductive link prediction (ILP) on n-ary relational facts. This framework reasons over local subgraphs and has a strong inductive inference ability to capture n-ary patterns. Specifically, we introduce a novel graph structure, the n-ary semantic hypergraph, to facilitate subgraph extraction. Moreover, we develop a subgraph aggregating network, NS-HART, to effectively mine complex semantic correlations within subgraphs. Theoretically, we provide a thorough analysis from the score function optimization perspective to shed light on NS-HART's effectiveness for n-ary ILP tasks. Empirically, we conduct extensive experiments on a series of inductive benchmarks, including transfer reasoning (with and without entity features) and pairwise subgraph reasoning. The results highlight the superiority of the n-ary subgraph reasoning framework and the exceptional inductive ability of NS-HART.

description: Objective: To evaluate the evidence for altered cortical and spinal cord functions in individuals with patellofemoral pain (PFP).

Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of databases to appraise and analyze the studies published prior to December 10, 2021 that examined spinal reflex excitability measured using Hoffmann reflex (H-reflex) amplitudes, corticospinal excitability measured using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)-elicited motor evoked potential (MEP) amplitudes, motor threshold (MT), or stimulus-response (SR) curves, cortical reorganization assessed using TMS cortical mapping or structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or functional changes of the brain assessed using functional MRI (fMRI) in individuals with PFP.

Results: Eight studies were eligible for analyses. While an earlier study showed that pain had no effect on the H-reflex amplitude of the quadriceps muscle, more recent evidence reported a decrease in vastus medialis (VM) H-reflex amplitude in participants with PFP. VM H-reflex amplitude was correlated with pain, chronicity, physical function, and isometric knee extensor torque production in participants with PFP. Altered corticospinal excitability was reported in participants with PFP, observed as increased MT in the VM and vastus lateralis (VL) muscles. In addition, cortical reorganization has been observed, where decreased number of cortical peaks, shifts and reduced volumes, and increased overlap of motor cortex representations for the VM, VL, and rectus femoris (RF) muscles were reported in participants with PFP.

Conclusion: There is emerging evidence on altered cortical and spinal cord functions in individuals with PFP, however, solid conclusions cannot be drawn due to limited literature available. Further research is needed to better understand the adaptations of the brain and spinal cord in this population.

description: A second green revolution is currently underway, focused on the adoption of environmentally sustainable agricultural practices and the employment of crops with greater nutritional value. Out of the over 300,000 existing plant species, less than 200 are of commercial significance; and three species (rice, wheat, and maize) represent over half of the nutrients for human consumption. During the last years, several genome edition methods have been developed. Here we will provide an overview of the advances achieved in plant transformation through the methods known as zinc fingers (ZFNs), TALENs, and CRISPR/Cas. Concerning ZFNs, to date there are several reports of successful genome editing in tobacco, maize, Arabidopsis, soybean, canola, and other plants. In regards to TALENs, so far they have been used for genome editing in almost all plant model organisms and in crops such as rice, wheat, maize, tomato, potato, barley, and others. As for CRISPR/Cas, and in particular CRISPR/Cas9, the genomes of Arabidopsis, tobacco, rice, maize, and tomato have been successfully edited. Numerous crucial traits for crop domestication are caused by mutations that are reproducible by genome editing techniques, thus offering the potential for the accelerated domestication of new species. These techniques have been used efficiently in the modification of the genomes of a wide range of crops for improvement in quality, yield, nutritional value, and resistance to disease; and they have shown great potential for the enhancement of resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses by attacking traits mainly controlled by negative regulator genes.

description: Η εργασία εξετάζει την ελληνική μετανάστευση στη Δυτική Γερμανία κατά την περίοδο 1960-1980, εστιάζοντας στους τρόπους ανάπτυξης συγγενικών σχέσεων και στην έμφυλη διάσταση της μετανάστευσης. Σκοπός είναι η κατανόηση των πρακτικών συγγένειας σε συνθήκες απόστασης και η ανάλυση της θέσης των γυναικών στον οικογενειακό και εργασιακό τομέα της μετανάστευσης. Η έρευνα συνδυάζει εθνογραφική και ιστορική προσέγγιση, βασισμένη σε πεδία έρευνας στην Κατερίνη με συνεντεύξεις ατόμων που ζούσαν την εμπειρία της μετανάστευσης. Η μελέτη εντάσσεται στην εθνογραφία της συγγένειας και του φύλου, με αναφορά στο διεθνικό και οπτικό πλαίσιο της έρευνας. Η εργασία αναλύει αρχικά το ιστορικό και κοινωνικό πλαίσιο της μετανάστευσης, εξετάζει θεωρητικά ζητήματα γύρω από τη συγγένεια και το φύλο, και περιγράφει τη μεθοδολογία της έρευνας. Στο κεντρικό κεφάλαιο, παρουσιάζονται μελέτες περίπτωσης που εστιάζουν σε πρακτικές όπως η αποστολή εμβασμάτων, η αλληλογραφία και η αποστολή φωτογραφιών. Επιπλέον, εξετάζεται η ενδυνάμωση των γυναικών μέσω της μεταναστευτικής εμπειρίας και η επίδραση αυτής της εμπειρίας στη ζωή τους. Η εργασία καταλήγει σε συμπεράσματα και προτείνει περαιτέρω ερωτήματα για μελλοντική έρευνα.
description: This study examines aspects of Greek migration to West Germany during the period 1960-1980, focusing on the development of kinship bonds within a transnational framework and the gender dimension of migration during this period. The research aims to understand how family members maintain relationships from a distance and analyzes the role of women within the family and labor migration context. The study combines ethnographic and historical approaches, based on fieldwork conducted in Katerini with interviews of individuals who experienced family-labor migration. It is situated within the ethnography of kinship and gender, with references to the transnational and visual dimensions of the research. Initially, the work outlines the historical and social context of migration, explores theoretical issues related to kinship and gender, and describes the research methodology. The central chapter presents case studies focusing on practices such as sending remittances, correspondence, and the sending of photographs. Additionally, it examines the empowerment of migrant women and the impact of this experience on their lives. The study concludes with findings and proposes further questions for future research.
