Landscape and culture : Jeddah's seafront design
Creators: name: Dawood, Raed
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Jeddah is the second largest city in Saudi Arabia. It is located at the eastern edge of the Red Sea. The city expanded to the north and the south during its 'boom period' in 1970s, constrained in the east by the airport area, and in the west by the Red Sea. By the middle of 1970s, Jeddah's growth was mainly directed to the north because of the availability of large low-density residential land in the north. The new airport also stimulated its growth. At the same time, new residential subdivisions developed rapidly between the old city and the new airport along the main highway to the north and along the coast in the west. The growth towards the north continued into the 1980s and even extended beyond the new airport zone, as vacant land in the middle of the old city and the new airport had been filled.

This rapid growth, in turn, required a rapid development in infrastructure, city services and recreation areas. The master plan of the city in 1973s took into consideration the coast line and the recreation areas of the city considering these areas from the point of view of land use, but without consideration of the country's culture. These recreation places -- and especially the seafront area - therefore lacked activities for some visitor groups, and the design in general ignored their needs, which required special attention and methods if they were to be met.

This project intends to discover the methods and the techniques that can be used to guide the new development of the city's southern coast, and in particular, revitalizing the seaside with a view to implementing the city dwellers' desire for a seafront that respects their culture and needs. The goal of this project is to create a design that transforms the traditional thinking for open space design in Saudi Arabia taking into consideration the dwellers cultures and desires.

description: The intention of this work is to exhibit how children can be provided with a kit of elementary tools for judgment under uncertainty, for good decision making and for reckoning with risk. Children, we claim, can acquire this tool kit through a mosaic of simple, play-based activities which are devised to make them aware of the characteristics of uncertainty. We present a sequence of tasks that build upon each other, beginning with the Wason selection task, moving on to probabilistic tasks, tasks in elementary Bayesian reasoning comparing proportions and, finally, to comparing risks. This research is guided and inspired by empirical results on human decision making in the medical and financial domain.

A search for common pleasures: curating the city

Subjects: classificationCode: 3301
subject: Architecture
subject: FOS: Civil engineering
classificationCode: 330411
subject: Urban design

description: The project-based research questions how professionals working in the built environment can engage a broader range of 'others' (students, client, users) in ways of seeing and acting in a meaningful way. It challenges the role of the expert in architecture and urban design and in particular their use of the masterplan, which is often an oversimplified reductive response, laden with generalisations and the ill-considered overlay of inappropriate models.

Design methods are designed to enable us to see afresh and respond accordingly. These are demonstrated in three suites of projects that include urban installations such as Five Walks for the Melbourne International Arts Festival, war memorials, lectures, photographs and teaching practice such as Taipei Operations, a student workshop, architectural exhibition, and book.

The design research is situated within an expanded field of cross-disciplinary practice that includes art, landscape architecture, urban design, architecture and geography. Tools are developed to enable us to understand the city at many spatial and temporal scales; observations made at a micro scale reveal systems at a macro scale - a bottom-up approach.

The application of the methods explored implies that "everyone is an artist" (or architect) to quote Joseph Beuys. An architecture of enabling is espoused that encourages the participation of the user through the creation of systems and infrastructures that are ultimately out of the architect's control. This positions the designer in a unique role that I call curation, a process that encourages multiple voices to be heard in the design of the city.
Enabling knowledge flow to achieve organizational objectives: facilitating an emergent, collaborative process
Creators: name: Inglis, Susan
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: I initiated this research to improve my management consulting practice, in particular, to enhance organisational learning and sharing. The setting was a not-for-profit organization in the health sector with 200 employees. Over a two-year period, I collaborated with 30+ staff to explore ways to enable knowledge flow in their work group, using an action research approach. I facilitated an emergent knowledge flow process, leading a volunteer “knowledge network” of practitioners. The research questions included: What encourages knowledge flow in an organization? What are the barriers to knowledge flow? Can one enable knowledge flow?

The “knowledge network” helped me to design a process to describe, understand and enhance tacit knowledge flow within their organisation. An online survey was administered to all staff based on the ‘Model of conditions that enable knowledge flow’ I had developed. The survey sought their views on ways they learn and share at work, how well their expectations were met, and their experiences of collaboration. The network of practitioners helped to refine the survey analysis, which included Social Network Analysis.

Over an 18-month period, I and the knowledge network developed interventions to promote knowledge flow, based on a rigorous assessment of their priorities. Staff members were re-surveyed and findings showed a consistent improvement in learning and sharing from Survey One to Two. Relationships were perceived to have strengthened, in-house knowledge flow and collaborative activity improved, and external distribution of knowledge increased.

During the project, I deliberately modelled and encouraged feedback and reflective practice. Creating a climate of trust and enquiry enabled the knowledge network to develop an effective process to assess knowledge flow that others might find useful. Implementing initiatives was challenging, particularly given that the organisation was undergoing merger negotiations. I kept a reflective journal over the four years of research, and examined the tensions of leading a project that was emergent, rather than planned. This experience changed my consulting/facilitation approach to diminish control and empower employees to determine the knowledge flow priorities that would improve their organisation’s outcomes.

Embedded antenna technology in smart polymeric composite structures
Creators: name: Sulic, Edin
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: One of the fastest-growing uses of sheet moulding compound (SMC) material is in the area of manufacturing of vehicle body components for both structural and non-structural applications. This trend is accelerating, driven by original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and their need for lighter and more fuel-efficient vehicles. In addition, over the last 20 years, the number of entertainment and communication systems in vehicles has also been expanding.

The aim of this research is the development of a single wideband antenna that is capable of receiving all of the major services of interest. Taking this approach one step further and embedding such an antenna in a polymeric composite vehicle body panel would combine the benefits of reduced coefficient of drag, lower vehicle weight, reduced assembly complexity and shorter assembly time. These benefits would manifest themselves in the form of lower overall design and manufacturing vehicle cost for the OEMs and lower fuel consumption for customers. This thesis will deal with the development of such an antenna and the challenges faced in embedding it in a polymeric composite vehicle panel to such an extent that it becomes a seamless part of the vehicle body. This application required the development of a detailed understanding of the following three areas. Firstly, understanding of the interactions and effects of SMC material and automotive paint on antenna signal quality and performance through experiments and electromagnetic modelling (EM). Secondly, the development of the manufacturing process and material used to embed the antenna and its impact on the physical properties of the antenna through rheological testing, analytical modelling and experimentation. Lastly, the development of a wideband antenna capable of receiving pre-determined signals, through EM and field testing.

The effects of paint application and presence of SMC resulted in a frequency shift of less than 1%. The experiments correlated well with the analytical model developed for compression moulding which incorporates a novel inclusion of the Maxwell’s model to predict the shear forces in the material flow within a confined space. A modular planar inverted conical antenna (PICA) was developed and optimised for the frequency range 700MHz – 9000MHz, which includes the commercial global positioning system (GPS) frequency. This development was then deployed as an embedded prototype in the deck lid of a test vehicle. Comparison against commercial GPS and mobile phone antennas was undertaken. This field test comparison showed that the developed PICA antenna performed better than the commercial antenna by up to 17%, especially in spaces devoid of multi-path signals.

A terroir of terroir (or, a brief history of design-places)
Creators: name: Blythe, Richard
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This PhD provides insight into designing. It offers a view on the nature and structures of design research proposing that design research occurs within the activity of designing. As a case study, the PhD provides an internal view of the emergent design process of a collaborative architecture design practice terroir. It proposes a way, (the 'design-place'), in which design by collaboration operates within complex and often contradictory contexts. The thesis deals with questions of design in a contemporary, cosmopolitan condition and proposes that within such a condition design is an ethical endeavour. A key underlying proposition of the thesis is that architecture is fundamentally a critical activity. The PhD concludes by demonstrating through design projects how terroir has explored these questions in producing designs that operate at the level of personal and subjective experie nce in opening up a public, cosmopolitan realm.

Inn housing: the delights of the private sector
Creators: name: Bombi Lamua, Elisa
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The masters by research project was titled Inn Housing: The Delights of the Private Sector. It was a space for exploring my practice with the development of a conceptual piece about the shifting condition of the community housing produced in inner cities.

The research aim was to develop an argument that inquired into the productive meaning of the application of glass walls on the city's housing façades; being these elements that represented a mode of living unknown to my experience and that challenged the way I perceive the relation between the interior intimate and private space of the house with the public city. A confrontation with a different proposal of housing that gave me enough room to speculate about a significant change that may influence the treatment of the private-intimate space of the housing with the public realm. Since the importance acquired by the glass surface seems to encourage (or put emphasis) on the visual experience by way these hermetic façades visually link the interior space of the house with the exterior, exposing views of either one side or the other of the glass skin.

Thus the central research questions raised by this research were: what might be the conception that has shaped this housing where the interior appears connected to the exterior through the glass façade? And significantly, does the visual relation with the glass potentially influences individual behaviour and therefore constitutes different modes for dwelling?

The method involved in the development of my argument was primary based on a theoretical framework in conjunction with a practice: the construction of visual material that respond to the stimuli generated by the readings. Whereas the selection of theory and readings was based on the obvious need for material that could help me understand and develop certain aspects of my research, images were used to explore my own thinking responses in states of uncertainty, as these offer me a more clear access to my own thinking material once are projected outside my mind.

SEDIMENTATION AND BASIN-FILL HISTORY OF THE PLIOCENE SUCCESSION EXPOSED IN THE NORTHERN SIENA-RADICOFANI BASIN (TUSCANY, ITALY): A SEQUENCE-STRATIGRAPHIC APPROACH

Subjects: Sequence-stratigraphy; Siena Basin; paralic deposits; Northern Apennines; intermontane basin.

description: Basin-margin paralic deposits are sensitive indicators of relative sea-level changes and typically show complex stratigraphic architectures that only a facies-based sequence-stratigraphic approach, supported by detailed biostratigraphic data, can help unravel, thus providing constraints for the tectono-stratigraphic reconstructions of ancient basins. This paper presents a detailed facies analysis of Pliocene strata exposed in a marginal key-area of the northern Siena-Radicofani Basin (Tuscany, Italy), which is used as a ground for a new sequence-stratigraphic scheme of the studied area. The study reveals a more complex sedimentary history than that inferred from the recent geological maps produced as part of the Regional Cartographic Project (CARG), which are based on lithostratigraphic principles. Specifically, four sequences (S1 to S4, in upward stratigraphic order) have been recognised, each bounded by erosional unconformities and deposited within the Zanclean-early Gelasian time span. Each sequence typically comprises fluvial to open marine facies, with deposits of different sequences that show striking lithological similarities.The architecture and internal variability shown by the studied depositional sequences are typical of low-accommodation basin-margin settings, that shows: i) a poorly-developed to missing record of the falling-stage systems tract; ii) a lowstand system tract predominantly made of fluvio-deltaic deposits; iii) a highstand system tract with substantial thickness variation between different sequences due to erosional processes associated with the overlying unconformity; iv) a highly variable transgressive system tract, ranging from elementary to parasequential organization.

Investigating the cardiovascular and metabolic effects of resistin
Creators: name: Kosari, Samin
Publisher: name: RMIT University

description: Resistin is an adipokine, originally identified in adipose tissue and its plasma levels are elevated in obesity. Resistin induces insulin resistance and affects energy homeostasis by reducing food intake. Plasma levels of resistin are correlated with the development and severity of heart failure, hypertension and myocardial infarction, suggesting that resistin has cardiovascular effects, however, the mechanisms underlying such effects are unclear. Characteristics of obesity include impaired metabolic regulation and cardiovascular dysfunction such as increased sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) to the kidney and skeletal muscle vasculature. It is unknown whether resistin affects SNA.

This thesis investigates the effect of centrally administered resistin on (i) blood pressure and heart rate, (ii) sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) targeting the kidney and skeletal muscle vasculature, (iii) SNA to brown adipose tissue (BAT) and thermogenesis and (iv) the intracellular signalling pathways mediating the changes in SNA affecting the kidney and BAT.

Intracerebroventricular resistin (7µg) injected into overnight fasted, anaesthetised rats induced a significant increase in lumbar and renal SNA. The response in renal SNA was prevented when PI 3-Kinase was inhibited by intracerebroventricular administration of LY294002 (5µg). Resistin reduced BAT and body core temperature and BAT SNA, resulting in reduced thermogenesis. Consistent with these findings, resistin reduced the expression of thermogenesis markers in BAT. Inhibiting ERK1/2 by intracerebroventricular administration of U0126, delayed the action of resistin on BAT SNA. Finally, resistin did not significantly change the blood pressure or heart rate.

The findings indicate that resistin has differential effects on sympathetic nerve activity to tissues involved in metabolic and cardiovascular regulation. The increased lumbar and renal SNA and the decreased thermogenesis in BAT elicited by resistin suggest that it may contribute to the sympathetic nerve over-activity to cardiovascular organs and reduced energy expenditure observed in obesity and metabolic syndrome.
NEW MATERIAL OF LUTRA SIMPLICIDENS (CARNIVORA, MUSTELIDAE, LUTRINAE), A KEY TAXON FOR UNDERSTANDING THE EVOLUTION OF EUROPEAN OTTERS

Subjects: Fossil otter; Lutra; Lutraeximia; Middle Pleistocene; Voigtstedt.

description: Lutra lutra (Linnaeus, 1758) is the only otter living in Europe today, but the palaeodiversity of this group during the Pleistocene was much higher. Lutra simplicidens Thenius, 1965 is one of the best-known taxa from the European Quaternary fossil record, having been reported in at least eight localities in Central Europe, Britain, Italy and the Azov Sea area, with a stratigraphic occurrence spanning the mid Early to the Middle Pleistocene. However, no cranial remains of this species have been described so far. Here I analyse some unpublished material of L. simplicidens from the early Middle Pleistocene site of Voigtstedt (Germany), which consists of the right and left P4-M1 of the same individual and a complete left humerus. The comparative study of these findings highlights a number of morphological and biometrical similarities between L. simplicidens and some Mediterranean Quaternary otters, such as Lutraeximia umbra Cherin et al., 2016 from central Italy, Lutraeximia trinacriae (Burgio & Fiore, 1988) from Sicily, Sardolutra ichnusae (Malatesta, 1977) from Sardinia and Lutrogale cretensis (Symeonides & Sondaar, 1975) from Crete. These species - together with the living Lutrogale perspicillata (Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1826) - form a monophyletic clade, which most probably includes also L. simplicidens, as well as several other Eurasian extinct taxa only known by fragmentary remains. These results confirm the pivotal importance of L. simplicidens for the evolution of European otters and lead to doubts about its taxonomic status, which will be solved with the discovery of new material.

title: Can samphire be the new salt? Understanding the chemical composition, sensory perception and aroma profiling of samphire as a salt substitute
Creators: name: Sood, Saumya
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2029

description: This research investigates the viability of samphire as a salt substitute in the food industry, focusing 
on understanding its unique taste, flavour profile, and the mechanism behind the saltiness evoked 
by samphire. The study combines composition analysis, sensory profiling, and aroma 
characterization to reveal the potential of samphire as a sodium reduction solution. Freeze-dried 
samphire extracts from different UK locations had a high content of minerals and amino acids that 
could influence salty taste. When added to a snack base, samphire significantly enhanced salty and 
umami tastes, presenting itself as a potential salt alternative.
However, the research indicates that in an aqueous solution, samphire does not outperform salt in 
saltiness. The study explores the complex taste and flavour attributes of samphire in aqueous 
models, including umami taste and seaweed flavour. Aroma profiling reveals diverse profiles based 
on harvest location, influencing taste/flavour perception in both aqueous and solid models, but the 
aroma did not contribute to odour induced saltiness enhancement. Overall, samphire enhanced 
salty taste in solid system not in an aqueous system. This can be explained by 1) samphire may 
cause uneven distribution and release of sodium in solid matrix and 2) samphire caused increased 
Maillard reaction in a snack which may have contributed to the enhanced salty taste.
To broaden samphire extract applications, a method for producing a whiter extract was developed 
using activated charcoal (AC), which effectively removed chlorophyll without affecting mineral or 
protein content, producing a whiter samphire extract suitable as a salt substitute for wider food 
application. 
In conclusion, this research provides a detailed understanding of the factors influencing the salty 
taste of samphire, positioning it as a potential salt substitute or flavour enhancer in food products. 
The study emphasises the importance of matrix effects, harvest location, and colour optimization 
for maximizing samphire's utility in the food industry.
Remotely sustainable

description: Remotely Sustainable focuses on a specific line of work that could be called 'remote Indigenous architecture'. I define this as architecture for Aboriginal clients who are the traditional owners of their homelands, where these projects are built. This context is critical because the issues I discuss may be relevant to other Indigenous communities in Australia.

However, the customs, culture, bureaucracy and conditions mean I must caution anyone in applying any of these ideas to another community without deep consideration of and good consultation with that community. The context also extends to the broader framework of federal and state governance. As architects and citizens it seems there is little we can do to impact on these systems, but if the government and agencies do not make appropriate decisions, there is little chance of improving the outcomes for Aboriginal people.

Working in this field as an architect is extremely hard. There are almost insurmountable problems that arise from ineffective government agencies, difficulties in communicating with clients, extreme distances to travel, physical discomfort to be endured and very little in the way of fees to perform these tasks. The difficulties begin at the consultancy stage and continue throughout the project until occupation by the clients. There is great difficulty in ensuring that the builders and tradespeople do their jobs properly and ensuring they return to sites to fix defective work is problematic. The budgets allocated to Indigenous housing projects are often well below that required to produce buildings that satisfy the clients' needs and expectations. Finally, there is little appreciation of the work that architects do in these communities, possibly because in some cases architects do their job badly.

This Master of Architecture Project uses case study buildings by iredale pedersen hook architects to reveal some of the difficulties faced when delivering these projects, in order to encourage the development of better solutions in the future.

Understanding the social-ecological influences within school playgrounds on children's enjoyment and participation in physical activity during school lunch breaks

description: In summary, from this series of five studies, it is possible to suggest that researchers can now target children’s physical activity during school lunch breaks with more confidence. Multiple social-ecological levels of influence on children’s physical activity during school breaks were identified. The facilitators and barriers to children’s physical activity during school breaks provided the framework to develop a reliable self-report measure examining multiple levels of influence on primary school children’s enjoyment of lunchtime play activities (LEAP questionnaire). The LEAP questionnaire study filled an important gap in the literature via the development of a school context-specific instrument to measure enjoyment, a key mediator of children’s school-based physical activity. Important for measuring children’s enjoyment of play during interventions targeting school lunch breaks, the intra- and inter-day reliability measurements established that measuring children’s enjoyment of lunchtime play would be representative of that particular day, but not necessarily that school week. Furthermore, a range of overall physical activity (steps, distance, intensity, activity types) and short-term quality of life and enjoyment effects from introducing a movable/recycled materials school playground intervention were evident. The RE-AIM evaluation and social-ecological model frameworks revealed that due to the cost-effectiveness, diversity and sustainability of introducing movable/recycled materials, the movable/recycled materials intervention could feasibly be implemented and maintained in a school for at least two and a half years. The positive and multiple social-ecological levels of influence from the intervention suggested that the simple implementation of movable/recycled materials could challenge the concept of conventional, fixed school playgrounds for use during school breaks. There are a number of challenges that face schools to promote children’s physical activity in our modern, urbanised society. This thesis builds upon previous literature to provide a range of multiple level strategies to ensure schools can take an active role in providing their children with a variety of daily physical activity opportunities within the crucial setting of schools and context of lunch breaks.

description: A political institution is legitimate when it succeeds in persuading people of the normative necessity of its existence. In a democratic system, this can be based both on various forms of popular consent (democratic legitimacy) and on other kinds of foundations (generic legitimacy). With reference to the European Union, debates have focused on empirical support for the EU, the nature of its "democratic deficit", and the potential conflict between European integration and national democratic sovereignty.
