2-wire time independent asynchronous communications
Creators: name: Radcliffe, PJ
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Communications both to and between low end microprocessors represents a real cost in a number of industrial and consumer products. This thesis starts by examining the properties of protocols that help to minimize these expenses and comes to the conclusion that the derived set of properties define a new category of communications protocol : Time Independent Asynchronous ( TIA) communications. To show the utility of the TIA category we develop a novel TIA protocol that uses only 2-wires and general IO pins on each host. The protocol is analyzed using the Petri net based STG ( Signal Transition Graph) which is widely use to model asynchronous logic. It is shown that STGs do not accurately model the behavior of software driven systems and so a modified form called STG-FT ( STG For Threads) is developed to better model software systems. A simulator is created to take an STG-FT model and perform a full reachability tree analysis to prove correctness and analyze livelock and deadlock properties. The simulator can also examine the full reachability tree for every possible system state ( the cross product of all sub-system states), and analyze deadlock and livelock issues related to unexpected inputs and unusual situations. Reachability pruning algorithms are developed which decrease the search tree by a factor of approximately 250 million. The 2-wire protocol is implemented between a PC and an Atmel Tiny26 microprocessor, there is also a variant that works between microprocessors. Testing verifies the simulation results including an avoidable livelock condition with data throughput peaking at a useful 50 kilobits/second in both directions. The first practical application of 2-wire TIA is part of a novel debugger for the Atmel Tiny26 microprocessor. The approach can be extended to any microprocessor with general IO pins. TIA communications, developed in this thesis, is a serious contender whenever low end microprocessors must communicate with other processors. Consumer and industrial products may be able to achieve cost saving by using this new protocol.

description: The distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack stands out as a highly formidable cyber threat, representing an advanced form of the denial-of-service (DoS) attack. A DDoS attack involves multiple computers working together to overwhelm a system, making it unavailable. On the other hand, a DoS attack is a one-on-one attempt to make a system or website inaccessible. Thus, it is crucial to construct an effective model for identifying various DDoS incidents. Although extensive research has focused on binary detection models for DDoS identification, they face challenges to adapt evolving threats, necessitating frequent updates. Whereas multiclass detection models offer a comprehensive defense against diverse DDoS attacks, ensuring adaptability in the ever-changing cyber threat landscape. In this paper, we propose a Hybrid Model to strengthen network security by combining the featureextraction abilities of 1D Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with the classification skills of Random Forest (RF) and Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) classifiers. Using the CIC-DDoS2019 dataset, we perform multiclass classification of various DDoS attacks and conduct a comparative analysis of evaluation metrics for RF, MLP, and our proposed Hybrid Model. After analyzing the results, we draw meaningful conclusions and confirm the superiority of our Hybrid Model by performing thorough cross-validation. Additionally, we integrate our machine learning model with Snort, which provides a robust and adaptive solution for detecting and mitigating various DDoS attacks.

Effects of caffeine on cognitive tasks
Creators: name: Valladares, Lorraine
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The effects of caffeine (250 mg) and placebo on healthy controls were studied in a double-blind, cross over study on 24 healthy subjects who performed a working memory n-back task. Reaction time and accuracy levels were tested using the n-back working memory measure in cognitive neuroscience. An experimental study tested on the 1, 2 and 3-back tasks under the placebo/coffee condition. Based on the empirical results obtained in this thesis it can be concluded that changes produced by caffeine ingestion support the hypothesis that caffeine acts as a stimulant. However, it cannot be proven that the stimulant translates into enhanced motor processes with an improvement in performance.
Magnetite/silica core-shell nanoparticles for HER-2 targeted magnetic resonance imaging of breast tumours.
Creators: name: Campbell, Jos
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Contrast agents allow for greater detail of specific internal structures to be obtained under clinical MR imaging. These images are used to aid in the diagnosis of conditions or damage including tumours and other cancerous tissues. Gadolinium has for quite a while been used as a primary material for this purpose but increasing concerns regarding toxicity are adding pressure to seek alternate materials. Magnetite offers many properties that would make it an excellent contrast material and several products have come to market but are restricted in their application primarily due to particle size.

This thesis aims to approach the problems associated with magnetite nanoparticles and their use in intravenous systems. This requires reducing the overall particle size and ensuring biocompatibility. This was accomplished by modifying the core particle size by altering the thermal decomposition parameters and surface coating the material with a layer of silica. A preliminary investigation was made using quasi cubic magnetite particles to investigate the biocompatibility and performance as an MR contrast agent. Based on these findings a second core shell nanoparticle system was formed using modified techniques to reduce the overall particle size by shrinking the core magnetite and the silica shell thickness.

These particles were subsequently surface modified with Herceptin® to facilitate the selective uptake of the particles into specific cancerous 12 cells. The particles were examined for their biocompatibility, structural stability and selective uptake into SKBR3 cells in vitro and in vivo in live breast tumour baring mice. All the studies were undertaken in MRI scanners in use by clinicians at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Research Centre. This demonstrated that in a clinical setting, these core shell particles can be made to selectively target specific tumours in significant number to cause notable localised contrast at the target site.

High resolution gas chromatography and mass spectrometry methods for metabolite profiling
Creators: name: Kondo, Elsuida
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: In recent years, many studies have been undertaken aimed at supporting mass-spectrometry based metabolite profiling. Given the chemical complexity and dynamic range of metabolites present in micro-organisms and biological based-samples, profiling the levels of a broad range of metabolites is highly challenging. The identification metabolites is considered an essential step toward a better understanding of micro-organism and biological-based samples. In regards to human metabolomics, most common diseases are caused by complex interactions between genetic factors such as diet and the environment. These factors can influence the range and concentrations of metabolites and other low molecular weight compounds in tissue and body fluids. In this work an analytical method has been developed comprising a rapid microwave-heated oximation and silylation derivatization reaction followed by subsequent analysis using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. The methodology and technique has been applied to a study of infant blood plasma, and various metabolites, potential biomarkers for specific infant disorders, separated and quantified. Yeast cultures represent a complex microorganism and are another area for analysis reported in this study. Yeast has played a significant role in human culture over thousand of years, due to its application in both traditional and modern biotechnology for the production of food and beverages. The separation and analysis of several commercial yeast samples is undertaken by gas chromatography coupled with time-of flight mass spectrometry. Multivariate data analysis techniques, including factor analysis, are employed to aid identification of metabolite extractions.

Separation of concerns: strategies for complex parametric design modelling
Creators: name: Pena De Leon, Alexander
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Parametric design systems are indispensable in enabling flexibility during the delivery of solutions to geometrically complex and ill-formed design problems. However, this flexibility is provided at the expense of coercing designers into adopting a highly structured design process. While this inflexibility has been widely documented in the literature, there are no examples of strategies for overcoming it. I have investigated how to overcome the inflexibility inherent in parametric modeling systems through the development of two major strategies and eight sub strategies. The strategies were developed through a mixed-method research methodology combining the case-study method and the action research method, in order to analyse the eight real world case-studies presented in support of this thesis.
The primary finding of this research is that we need better ways to integrate automation in design modelling while simultaneously we need more tacit interaction through “Direct Modelling” with our models in order to achieve a greater flexibility in design modelling.
The approaches analysed in this thesis have demonstrated through the eight specific case-studies how designers can reasonably achieve disruptive variation within the flexible design environments which the parametric design paradigm fosters. The three intervention modes: Internal Code, External Code and Bespoke Approach, addressed challenges to flexibility within parametric design software and ways to overcome them depending on the nature of the problem and the suitability of the strategy to the design problem.
Information-seeking processes among primary school children in Australia and Malaysia
Creators: name: Mohamed Shuhidan, Shamila
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Interest in information behaviour and information seeking has encompassed the school context. As the Internet has become one of the most important sources of information in supporting primary children’s learning environments, information behaviour and information seeking by children has become a key issue that requires more in-depth research. Research in the present study was carried out in Malaysia and Australia. This research shows how children seek information within a school context, particularly the processes taken for information seeking. The research also identifies the challenges faced by school children in seeking information from the Internet. The research adapted Kuhlthau’s (1993) model of the six stages of the information search process – initiation, selection, exploration, formulation, collection and presentation – in order to address the research objectives.

The research involved three phases of data collection. The first phase involved a broad survey (quantitative data) in order to allow generalisation of results from a primary school population to identify the usage, knowledge and challenges of using the Internet in the school setting. The next phase was observation. As the research focused on the information-seeking processes undertaken by primary school children, observation was the best way to carry out the investigation. It involved observation of children seeking information from the Internet as they performed information-seeking tasks in 20-minute sessions. Three sets of tasks were set. The observations were aided by the use of a checklist and note taking. The checklist was based on the Kuhlthau (1993) model of information seeking, and the note taking served as a memory aid that contained extensive detail from the observations. The final phase of the research involved interviews (qualitative data) with the teachers, directed at determining the primary school children’s information behaviour and how they undertook information seeking in the school settings.

The research provides an understanding of information-seeking processes among primary school children and makes recommendations for information technology specialists on the design elements of information retrieval systems for primary school children based on the behavioural and information-seeking approaches used by the children and their teachers. A modified model of information-seeking processes is proposed. These modifications incorporate the use of the Internet in seeking information in the school environment.
The accurate prediction of disordered regions in protein sequences using machine learning approaches
Creators: name: Han, Peng Fei
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: A major challenge in the post-genome era is to determine the function of proteins. The traditional structure-function paradigm assumes that the function of a protein is contingent on it folding into a stable three-dimensional structure. However many proteins contain intrinsic unstructured or Disordered Regions (DRs) under physiological conditions, and yet they still carry important functions. Determination of the disordered regions in proteins is therefore an important step towards the determination of their functions. Traditional experimental approaches are generally time consuming and expensive. The efficient and cost-effective computer aided automatic prediction of DRs is thus an attractive alternative. To this end, we propose the novel application of machine learning models and physicochemical features extracted from protein sequences for predicting long, short and global disorder in proteins.

To improve the understandability of disorder prediction, rule based predictors are proposed, which are not only able to predict DRs, but can also quantify previously unknown associations between order disorder status and sequences. The prediction process is transparent and simple to explain.

As DRs of different lengths possess different properties, to achieve a high accuracy of prediction, we propose predictors specific to long, short and global disorder prediction. These predictors are distinct from each other in terms of their features, the machine learning models used, and the methods of prediction. We thoroughly investigate the database of physicochemical properties of amino acid indices and select the indices most correlated with disorder.

Based on these properties, novel feature transforms including autocorrelation and wavelet transforms (WTs) are applied to DR prediction. According to the results of cross-validation tests, our long DR predictor based on autocorrelation achieves the highest accuracy of prediction among long DR predictors at an AUC (Area Under ROC Curve) value of 89.5%. A short DR predictor based on WTs achieves an AUC value of 88.7%, which is comparable to the most accurate short DR predictors. The global DR predictor achieves an AUC value of 96.1%, close to the optimal value.

A major bottleneck of large scale DR prediction is the time efficiency constraint that is attributed to slow feature generation stages and complicated prediction methods. Both our long and short DR predictors are built from simple methods of prediction and feature space. Our web service for long DR prediction can process an uploaded file of multiple sequences.

Mum's the word: A phenomenological exploration of early motherhood
Creators: name: Sheeran, Leanne
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Having a baby and becoming a mother signifies a major transition in a woman’s life.This thesis investigates and gives voice to women’s experiences of early motherhood.van Manen’s phenomenological approach was used as the theoretical framework forthis research. The study aimed to explicate the lived experience of early motherhoodfor a cohort of 13 women having an essentially normal pregnancy.The study was located in a rural municipality in Victoria, Australia. A purposive sampleof adult women was selected as they were experiencing a healthy pregnancy withtheir first child and willing to discuss their experience of early motherhood. Data werecollected from participants using individual sequential audiotaped in-depth interviewsand from personal journals kept by four of the participants. Interviews were held atthree key stages of early motherhood: late pregnancy, and approximately two weeksand eight weeks after giving birth. Most interviews were about an hour in duration andall occurred in participants’ own homes or the homes of extended family. Interviewdata were transcribed verbatim and analysed using van Manen’s phenomenologicalapproach.The findings of the study are presented chronologically around the pregnancy, labourand birth and postnatal periods. For these first time mothers pregnancy resulted in araft of changes to their lives, Women shared rich descriptions of their physical andemotional experience of pregnancy and the themes revealed about women’sexperience of their relationships at this time focussed on their relationships with theirpartners, their unborn baby and their mother. ‘Waiting’ and ‘wondering’ were alsodominant themes in women’s experience of pregnancy. Key themes that emergedfrom women’s descriptions of their labour and birth were the experience of labour,managing labour pain, support to get through labour and birth, and the concertedeffort of second stage. Other themes uncovered included women’s surprise at theamount of blood at delivery and birthing in a technological age. In the postnatal period,the findings concerning women’s experience of early motherhood were groupedaround the themes of living the physical experience of early motherhood, learning tofeed, learning to mother and relationship changes.The findings from this research study contribute new insights into the phenomenon ofearly motherhood and have implications for midwifery and MCH nursing practice.Recommendations from the study are presented in the form of a model that integratesclinical practice, education and research. The overarching recommendation is thatmidwives and MCH nurses develop a framework for care that fosters a supportive,nurturing, ‘holding’ environment for women across pregnancy, the perinatal and earlymotherhood periods. Steps to operationalise these recommendations are detailed.
Support and recovery in a therapeutic community
Creators: name: Macfarlane, Selma
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This research project began from an interest in 'what happened' at a residential psychiatric disability support service (therapeutic community) where I had previously worked as a social worker, or, as it was termed in the program, support worker. Residents used the program in various ways, to get back on track with their lives, and workers aimed to support them in that process. My approach to data collection was, as for many social work researchers, qualitative. As my work on the project developed over time, I was consistently informed and re-informed not only by ideas arising from my engagement with participants and relevant literature, but also by new concepts and areas of interest that opened up as a result of my teaching in a progressive Bachelor of Social Work course. Gradually, as my understanding of critical and reflective postmodern social work theory evolved, new int erpretations crept into my writing. Some of the tensions that arose as a result of this overlaying of new conceptual frameworks are evident in the thesis. While I have tried to create internal cohesion, the layers of different approaches that informed me are sometimes evident, like the sides of a canyon that display evidence of its historical and ongoing formation. This may not be dissimilar to social work itself in the new millennium, as new ideas variously challenge, consolidate, destabilise and/or reshape theory and practice. While this thesis began as an exploration of the experiences of individuals in a therapeutic community and the role of support workers in that process, it became, additionally, an exploration of ways in which the role and practice of social work is constructed. However, the stories of participants remain a central feature. Chapters include: the professional gaze and the construction of subjects; problematising worker power and professionalism; boundaries, vulnerability and aut hority; therapeutic community; sensemaking, meaning ascription and the creation of culture; change and turning points; and problematising and exploring outcomes in mental health.

Health, wellness and organic diets
Creators: name: Oates, Liza
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Sales of organic food in Australia are increasing at least in part because of a belief that organic diets are healthier. Two online surveys explored the attitudes and behaviours of people who identified as dedicated consumers of organic produce, the Organic Consumption Survey (OCS) (N=318) and the Organic Health and Wellness Survey (OHWS) (N=404). The information collected by these surveys suggests that dedicated organic consumers exist across socio-demographic segments and perceive their overall health to be better since moving to an organic diet. Very few studies have investigated health outcomes from organic diets although there are mounting concerns regarding adverse health effects from pesticides.

We conducted a prospective, randomised, single-blinded, crossover study to assess organophosphate (OP) exposure in a group of thirteen Australian adults following a 7 day period on a largely organic diet compared to 7 days on a largely conventional diet. Participants completed an Organic Food Intake Survey, which had been previously piloted, to ensure that a minimum of 80% of their food servings were organic or conventional during each phase. Urinary levels of six dialkylphosphate (DAP) metabolites, produced from OP pesticides, were analysed in first-morning voids collected on day 8 of each phase using GC-MS/MS, with limits of detection at 0.11-0.51 μg/L. Results, which were creatinine corrected to account for urine dilution or concentration, revealed that consumption of organic food for 7 days resulted in a statistically significant reduction in urinary DAPs. The mean total DAP results in the organic phase were 89% lower than in the conventional phase (M=0.032 and 0.294 respectively, p=.013). There was a significant 96% reduction in urinary dimethyl DAPs in the organic vs. conventional phase (M=0.011 and 0.252 respectively, p=.005), and a 49% reduction in diethyl DAPs which was not significant (M=0.021 and 0.042 respectively, p=.170).

The OCS and OHWS surveys confirm that dedicated organic consumers in Australia believe that organic diets are healthier due to reduced pesticide exposure and that they provide contextual and psychological benefits. Findings from the biomonitoring trial further suggest that a mostly organic diet for one week results in a dramatic reduction in OP pesticide exposure in Australian adults. Further research across geographical locations is now required to corroborate these findings and determine their clinical relevance. It is recommended that future research incorporates a wholistic approach to fully capture the potential of organic diets to positively impact health.

description: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to propose a mathematical model to determine invariant sets, set covering, orbits and, in particular, attractors in the set of tourism variables. Analysis was carried out based on an algorithm and applying an interpretation of chaos theory developed in the context of General Systems Theory and Big Data. Design/methodology/approach - Tourism is one of the most digitalized sectors of the economy, and social networks are an important source of data for information gathering. However, the high levels of redundant information on the Web and the appearance of contradictory opinions and facts produce undesirable effects that must be cross-checked against real data. This paper sets out the causal relationships associated with tourist flows to enable the formulation of appropriate strategies. Findings - The results can be applied to numerous cases, for example, in the analysis of tourist flows, these findings can be used to determine whether the behaviour of certain groups affects that of other groups, as well as analysing tourist behaviour in terms of the most relevant variables. Originality/value - The technique presented here breaks with the usual treatment of the tourism topics. Unlike statistical analyses that merely provide information on current data, the authors use orbit analysis to forecast, if attractors are found, the behaviour of tourist variables in the immediate future.

Environmental orientation of government procurement in Singapore
Creators: name: Bakir, Sujak
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This study focuses on sustainable procurement in the public organisations in Singapore using structural equation modelling (SEM). A total of 570 questionnaires were distributed, 370 were returned and 295 were used for analysis representing 52% response rate. Results of the SEM showed that out of ten hypotheses constructed, eight hypotheses are supported. The results of the SEM showed that Waste Management (WM), Organisational Systems and Processes & Policies (OSPP) and Organisational Values (OVALUES) are determinants of environmentally-oriented government procurement in Singapore.

The determinant - WM consists of reverse logistics, recycling and packaging. It influences environmentally-oriented procurement practices in public organisations. Public organisations in Singapore are focussing on the benefits of reverse logistics, recycling and packaging as measures of care for the environment. The determinant - OVALUES consists of entrepreneurship, commitment, learning capability and innovation. These could shape and strengthen the culture of public organisations towards environmentally-oriented procurement practices vis-à-vis the value for money and cost efficiency, which has been the guiding principle of public procurement in the long run. This determinant is expected to have an impact on the marketplace where more innovative environmentally-oriented products could be manufactured. The determinant - OSPP which encompasses the established framework of ISO 14001, eco-labelling, product design and life cycle analysis, could further strengthen sustainable procurement practices in public organisations. The adoption of an established framework of systems, processes and policies would guide government officers in making decisions to procure sustainable products. This determinant would also facilitate their learning capability and shorten the learning curve.

This study contributes valuable insight into the determinants of environmentally-oriented procurement in public organisations in Singapore. Both managers and researchers would find it useful to know that WM, OSPP OVALUES could provide a basis in developing a managerial framework to procure environmentally-oriented products in public organisations.
The dual practice of social and registered migration agent work: a heuristic study

description: Social work and registered migration agent work can be mutually enhancing. Both can be influenced by a critical theory approach within the global context of neo-liberal philosophies and related practices. My practice in both is enriched by my use of my imagination. My thesis emerges from remembered and familiar voices – my own, those of people (clients) who have trusted me as social worker and as migration and refugee law advocate, voices of 21 of my peers and of those of writers and thinkers. The qualitative heuristic approach taken to research my dual professions allowed me to make important discoveries, especially for social work practice and, in a more limited way, for registered migration agent work. I identify and start to fill metaphorical theme ‘pots’ common to both professions: of human violence, of human rights, of justice and social justice, of the age old phenomenon of human migration, of cross-cultural communication amongst humans, and of the professions of social work and migration and refugee law advocacy.

In the process, I discover a host of additional themes, including those of borders and boundaries, of citizenship, of civil engagement, of compassion, of globalization and cosmopolitanism, of memory, of passion, and more. The case study I choose allows me and two of my Burmese clients to illustrate some of the depth and breadth of this rich dual practice.

Sustainable reverse osmosis desalination
Creators: name: Moridpour, Sara
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The need for fresh water is growing rapidly with the growth in population and increase in industrial demands. The natural resources are no longer able to meet the global demands. Desalination of salty water is a good solution to solve this problem. Among all methods of desalination, Reverse Osmosis (RO) desalination is the most promising and feasible method. However, despite having higher efficiency and relatively lower energy consumption compared to other desalination methods, RO is still not feasible in many regions around the world. Required electricity to operate an RO desalination plant is not available in some remote areas and is very expensive in many others. Therefore, introducing methods to reduce the electrical energy consumption of reverse osmosis desalination is of great advantage. In addition, the discharge of high concentrated brine is an economic and environmental issue which needs to be addressed. This research proposes and tests two different methods to reduce the electricity consumption and to utilize the reject brine and generate energy. All the tests were conducted in Renewable Energy Lab of RMIT University, Melbourne.
In the first method, pre-heating of the feed stream has been studied. Pre-heating is believed to reduce the electricity consumption of reverse osmosis desalination by increasing the temperature of salty water and thus decreasing its viscosity. The contribution of this research is to provide the heat by a solar collector for the first time. A solar pond has been used to collect solar energy in the form of thermal energy and to pre-heat the feed stream. RO desalination process was conducted with different temperatures of feed water and the performance of the process was monitored and recorded. The results showed that by increasing the temperature from 5 ̊ C to 40 ̊ C, with the thermal energy provided by a solar pond, the specific energy consumption of RO desalination process is reduced by up to 35%. This results in considerable reduction in CO2 emissions. Also, recovery ratio showed a significant improvement.
As the second part of the research, a method was designed to utilize the reject brine and generate power by reverse osmosis membranes. The method consists of running a forward osmosis process by using the reject brine as well as the sea water in a continuous form. The basic physics of forward osmosis process and osmotic membranes were used to derive the required equations to predict the amount of potentially available osmotic power. The studies showed that the available osmotic power is a function of the salinity gradient across the membrane and also the available hydrostatic pressure at its saltier side. The tests showed that the Osmotic Power can be generated successfully in a sustainable and continuous form. However, the amount of power generation was less than predictions. The studies suggested that reverse osmosis membranes are not efficient for osmotic power generation.
