description: Dusty star-forming galaxies emit most of their light at far-IR to mm wavelengths as their star formation is highly obscured. Far-IR and mm observations have revealed their dust, neutral and molecular gas properties. The sensitivity of JWST at rest-frame optical and near-infrared wavelengths now allows the study of the stellar and ionized gas content. We investigate the spatially resolved distribution and kinematics of the ionized gas in GN20, a dusty star forming galaxy at $z$=4.0548. We present deep MIRI/MRS integral field spectroscopy of the near-infrared rest-frame emission of GN20. We detect spatially resolved \paa, out to a radius of 6 kpc, distributed in a clumpy morphology. The star formation rate derived from \paa\ (144 $\pm$ 9 \msunperyear) is only 7.7 $\pm 0.5 $\% of the infrared star formation rate (1860 $\pm$ 90 \msunperyear). We attribute this to very high extinction (A$_V$ = 17.2 $\pm$ 0.4 mag, or A$_{V,mixed}$ = 44 $\pm$ 3 mag), especially in the nucleus of GN20, where only faint \paa\ is detected, suggesting a deeply buried starburst. We identify four, spatially unresolved, clumps in the \paa\ emission. Based on the double peaked \paa\ profile we find that each clump consist of at least two sub-clumps. We find mass upper limits consistent with them being formed in a gravitationally unstable gaseous disk. The UV bright region of GN20 does not have any detected \paa\ emission, suggesting an age of more than 10 Myrs for this region of the galaxy. From the rotation profile of \paa\ we conclude that the gas kinematics are rotationally dominated and the $v_{rot}/σ_{m} = 3.8 \pm 1.4$ is similar to low-redshift LIRGs. We speculate that the clumps seen in GN20 could contribute to building up the inner disk and bulge of GN20.

STRUCTURES

description: The use of laminated composite shells in many engineering applications has been expanding rapidly in the past five decades due to their higher strength and stiffness to weight ratios when compared to most metallic materials. There are multiple options for dealing with the severe thermal environments encountered during hypersonic flight. Passive, semi-passive, and actively cooled approaches can be utilized. The aim of this paper is to study a shell structure for space applications such as leading edges of a re-entry vehicle. The structure has to be reusable, lightweight and thin. The use of Carbon/Carbon composites for the design of shells allows structures to withstand temperatures over 1600C. The main features of these composites are the high resistance, high elongation modulus, high mechanical properties at high temperature and very low CTE. The key factor for using this kind of material in re-entry applications is the high stability at high temperature, preserving its mechanical properties. A 3-D shell prototype manufactured via CVI will undergo to the stabilization process. The manufacturing process will be controlled via testing control samples which follows the prototype during its production cycle. The samples will be tested in order to analyze the morphological and thermo-mechanical characteristics.

description: This practice-led research provides documentary filmmakers with a theoretical and practical basis to understand and design for interactive documentary in the digital medium. This project contributes to the fields of interactive documentary, documentary and interactivity design. This study is centred on the design of the Lighthouse Interactive Documentary that articulates the delivery program and methods of the Lighthouse Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation. The site is primarily designed for specific users, to enable social change in the area of youth welfare and housing. The study focuses on the interactive documentary form within the context of networked and software driven computational devices.

The aim of my research is to provide traditional documentary filmmakers like myself with a theoretical framework and methods to design for this environment which interactive designer Janet Murray (2011) names 'the digital medium'. Murray identifies the affordances of the digital medium as being procedural, participatory, spatial and encyclopaedic. This study examines these affordances in relation to the design decisions available to documentary makers who are using interactive techniques. The study also addresses definitions, types and implications of interactive documentary and the new skills required by the person formerly known as the filmmaker in the design of these projects.

My research demonstrates user centred, responsive and interactivity design as an effective response to the needs of the filmmaker moving into interactive documentary design. The literature review provides the historic and contextual overview, including documentary, software and communications theory. The theory and practice of user centred, responsive and interactivity design is then applied to two case studies of interactive websites. One belongs to the Berry Street Organisation and the other is an independent site, Here At Home hosted by the National Film Board of Canada and co-produced by the Mental Health Commission of Canada. Both sites address issues of housing for vulnerable people, including youth. The theoretical framework and findings from the case studies are then applied to my design and analysis of the Lighthouse Interactive Documentary site.

Products of reflection: a practice that discloses the design potential of circumstantial phenomena
Creators: name: Parmington, Jason
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 330309
subject: Industrial and product design

description: This research project elaborates my creative interest in circumstantial phenomenal form generated through the design and use of objects. These phenomena are extraneous or incidental qualities generated in an object or product's interaction with its circumstance; they don't appear to belong or align to the object. Such circumstantial phenomena are frequently extraordinary in their form and complexity, but their subtle and contingent character push them to the periphery of awareness and design consideration. If acknowledged, they are deemed inconsequential, either out of practical necessity or due to (pre)conceptions of what constitutes and distinguishes the designed object. The project sets aside assumptions of extraneity and treats circumstantial phenomena as objects of investigation and design. It addresses the question of how consideration of these phenomena might expand a design practice. It speculates that unrealized creative dimensions can be derived from attending to circumstantial effects: unacknowledged dimensions of the objects that populate the designed environment, and unrealized capacities of a design practice that is drawn to these phenomena.

The research examines and elaborates form produced by refraction and reflection phenomena. These are explored in a process of making and generative experimentation, which increasingly pursues subsequent circumstantial results. The experiments comprise a series of installation works and design propositions that use reflection effects as a medium of design and construction. Together, they reveal the phenomenal form-making potential of mirror polished materials, objects, and products.

An alternative way of interpreting and expanding my design practice develops. Circumstance emerges as an autopoietic resource. Circumstantial phenomena, rather than extraneous and inconsequential, are revealed as expressing immanent capacities of objects in their engagement with their surrounds and other objects. They thereby offer new perspectives on the products of experimentation and design intentions. Consideration of these phenomena extends an inclination in my design practice to activate new possibilities with materials at-hand, by including the circumstantial phenomena at-hand. Acknowledging and activating circumstantial phenomena provides a means to generate unanticipated and innovative outcomes.

description: The hypersonic flow around a cylinder mounted on sharp and blunted plates was investigated experimentally. Experiments were conducted in shock wind tunnel at Mach M=5 in wide range of Reynolds numbers ReL (calculated by plate length) from 0.8x10^7 to 3.4x10^7. Cylinder distance from plate leading edge X0 and plate bluntness radius r was varied. Optical Temperature Sensitive Paint (TSP) method was used for heat transfer investigation, as well as other optical method of surface flow visualization. The results of investigations of flow structure and heat transfer in the interference zone on the plate surface ahead of cylinder and in his vicinity are presented. It is shown that laminarturbulent boundary layer transition on the plate and his reverse leads to non-monotonic dependences of heat flux peak values in interference zones on X0 and r values.

description: The transport sector represents 20 pct of all greenhouse gas emissions globally. The use of aluminum (Al) to reduce vehicle weight offers the potential to reduce these emissions. The production of secondary Al from recycled products requires only ~2.8 kWh kg 1 compared to ~45 kWh kg 1 for primary Al production. In addition, recycling emits only ~5 pct as much carbon dioxide as primary production. Hence, the environmental advantages of using recycled Al for transport applications are as attractive as the economic savings. Unfortunately, the properties of recycled Al alloys do not meet the necessary requirements due to the unavoidable introduction of iron (Fe) impurity that leads to the occurrence of harmful Fe containing intermetallic compounds (IMCs). This thesis aims to establish the knowledge required to be able to increase the utilization of recycled Al by controlling the formation of the Fe containing IMCs by ultrasonic melt treatment (USMT). In addition, USMT was further extended to laser additive manufacturing (LAM) to explore its applicability for structural refinement.

description: Cet article vise à étudier l’effet de la publicité sur Facebook sur le processus de décision du consommateur. À partir d'une revue de littérature et d'une étude quantitative impliquant 200 utilisateurs de Facebook, l'article explore plusieurs aspects clés de cette dynamique. Les résultats montrent que la publicité sur Facebook peut déclencher le besoin d'achat et influencer directement la décision finale d'achat. Cependant, elle n'est pas perçue comme une source d'information fiable et ne facilite pas nécessairement le choix du consommateur entre différents produits. Malgré cela, la publicité sur Facebook peut générer un feedback positif, favorisant ainsi le bouche-à-oreille et l'engagement des consommateurs. L'article met également en évidence des limites telles que la taille de l'échantillon et le biais potentiel de la collecte de données en ligne. Globalement, bien que la publicité sur Facebook puisse influencer le comportement d'achat des consommateurs, des recherches supplémentaires sont nécessaires pour mieux comprendre ses effets et ses implications.

Quasicharge models of Josephson junction arrays

Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 510404
subject: Electronic and magnetic properties of condensed matter; superconductivity

description: Josephson junction arrays (JJAs) are engineered many-body quantum systems consisting of several superconducting islands connected by thin tunnel barriers - Josephson junctions (JJs). They are of interest both from a fundamental point of view (e.g. addressing questions of macroscopic quantum physics, providing model systems in which to study complex many-body phenomena) and from the prospect of technological applications (e.g. quantum computing, metrology, metamaterials).

In this thesis we present various tools and techniques for the theoretical study of JJAs, and then put these tools to use in the modelling of two particular experiments on JJAs. In our presentation of the physics of JJAs, we emphasise phenomena unique to arrays (i.e. not seen in single junction devices such as qubits).

We investigate charge transport through the the bilinear array, consisting of two linear chains of JJs, and show that it exhibits both Coulomb drag and depinning. We predict new phenomena arising from the interplay between Coulomb drag and depinning at voltages higher than have so far been experimentally reported.

We then turn our attention to recent experiments in which planar JJAs were placed in 3-D microwave cavities, with vortices being injected via an externally applied magnetic eld. We calculate the impedance spectrum using linear response theory, which enables us to see when new vortices enter the system in the form of sharp changes in the resonance frequency.

description: In this paper, the design of a control law is investigated in order to overcome the high angle of attack manoeuvring control problem. Both linear and nonlinear design methods are analysed with theoretical background. While, linear control laws are synthesized using eigenstructure assignment, the nonlinear control laws are derived by nonlinear dynamic inversion technique. Effectiveness of the proposed control strategies are tested with a high angle of attack manoeuvre on F-16 aircraft model. Superiority of the nonlinear dynamic inversion is demonstrated with graphical results.

description: Rigorous derivations of the approach of individual elements of large isolated systems to a state of thermal equilibrium, starting from arbitrary initial states, are exceedingly rare. This is particularly true for quantum mechanical systems. We demonstrate here how, through a mechanism of repeated scattering, an approach to equilibrium of this type actually occurs in a specific quantum system, one that can be viewed as a natural quantum analog of several previously studied classical models. In particular, we consider an optical mode passing through a reservoir composed of a large number of sequentially-encountered modes of the same frequency, each of which it interacts with through a beam splitter. We then analyze the dependence of the asymptotic state of this mode on the assumed stationary common initial state $σ$ of the reservoir modes and on the transmittance $τ=\cosλ$ of the beam splitters. These results allow us to establish that at small $λ$ such a mode will, starting from an arbitrary initial system state $ρ$, approach a state of thermal equilibrium even when the reservoir modes are not themselves initially thermalized. We show in addition that, when the initial states are pure, the asymptotic state of the optical mode is maximally entangled with the reservoir and exhibits less nonclassicality than the state of the reservoir modes.

description: Evolution and decay of far vortex wake behind airplane is modeled. The boundary problem for space filtered Navier-Stokes equations is described. It involves special setup for initial and boundary conditions. Two different cases are considered: freestream and inside the ground boundary layer. For freestream conditions the model is verified for high levels of background turbulence. In the ground layer the leeward tip vortex pops up and decays fast, while the windward hovers for long time with slow lateral movement.
Design, synthesis and characterization of hybrid materials produced by grafting or mixing hybrid polyhedral oligomeric silselsquioxanes onto natural rubber and starch films

subject: Food packaging, preservation and processing

description: The advantage of using nanomaterials as structure-property modifying agents is that they have substantially different physicochemical properties than those of their macroscale or bulk counterparts. Among nanomaterials, silica-based polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POS or POSSTM) have shown to improve several physicochemical properties such as hydrophobicity and thermal stability when they are incorporated in polymers through chemical reaction or physical mixing. POS are highly versatile materials as they enable alteration or tailoring of the pendant groups. For this reason, POS are gaining popularity in polymer industry. However, their technological potential has not been adequately utilised in many important applications such as modifying the surface of starch films to introduce hydrophobicity and improving thermo-mechanical properties of natural rubber (NR).

Starch films have intrinsic natural affinity for water on their surface as well as in the bulk. This affinity is due to the hydroxyl groups in starch structure. This high affinity for water is the main reason that starch-only films are not used widely in packaging applications. It is a technological challenge to introduce any hydrophobic agent into hydrophilic matrix of starch. However, because of unique nature of POS, they can be tailored to physically mix with starch to increase hydrophobicity and avoid dispersion and segregation problems.

Natural rubber, so far, is one of the most versatile elastomeric materials with quite wide application including in medical devices, adhesives and tyres. Nevertheless, its weak thermo-mechanical stability and relatively low temperature resistance have limited its applications. POS is capable of improving the above-mentioned properties as observed in other elastomers such as polyurethanes and non-elastomeric materials such as epoxy resins.

In this context, the overall objectives of this research were to increase the hydrophobicity of thermoplastic starch films and improve the thermo-mechanical properties of NR. These two desired characteristics were brought to starch and NR by tailoring different POS and then incorporating them into NR and starch films by chemical grafting or physical mixing.

Thermal variation of specific contact resistance
Creators: name: Collins, Aaron
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Test structures for the determination of specific contact resistance are an area of continual research and improvement. It is always important to achieve reliable and accurate results in the extraction of any parameter. Several test structures achieve these conditions, of reliability and accuracy, including the Transmission Line Model, the Circular Transmission Line Model and the newer Single Dot test structure. This work seeks to improve the techniques used to extract specific contact resistance with a focus on the Circular Transmission Model and its equations. As such, the mathematical solutions to the Circular Transmission Line model have been reduced such that they are simpler and therefore faster to solve with no loss of accuracy.

3C-SiC is used as a semiconductor example in developing the work presented. 3C-SiC is not easily etched and is a good example of a semiconductor where circular transmission line model test structures are appropriate. Results presented in this report demonstrated how the improved analysis process increases the accuracy of measurements for determining specific contact resistance.

The effects of temperature on specific contact resistance are discussed and analytical models developed. Since the pioneering research in this area and the extensive reports that were produced in the 1960s and 1970s, there has been relatively little work reported on investigating and testing of specific contact resistance with regard to changes in temperature. In this thesis similar experimental work is reported but with a unified analytical model for specific contact resistance due to different electron transport mechanisms.

This work proposes a solution to determining specific contact resistance at all temperature ranges and doping concentrations with the use of one equation, therefore simplifying the process and ρc determination. In addition the proposal is made that when reporting specific contact resistance it should include the temperature that it has been determined at, such that a more complete understanding can be obtained of the parameter.

Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: High atomic number (Z) materials such as iodine and gadolinium have been successfully used as dose enhancers in preclinical radiotherapy. A competing high Z dose enhancement is achieved by the application of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), which provides the advantages of tumour specificity and vascular permeability. The main aim of this thesis was to investigate the application of AuNPs as dose enhancers for various radiotherapy techniques; specifically focusing on superficial radiotherapy (SXRT), microbeam radiotherapy (MRT) and synchrotron based stereotactic radiosurgery (SSR). The effects of AuNPs on radiation dose enhancement have been comprehensively analysed using biological and phantom studies. Results show that AuNPs enhance radiation dose especially in the SXRT energy range and have potential to be applied for MRT and SSR. Radiobiological analysis also found changes in the linear quadratic parameters indicating increases in DNA damage for cells treated with AuNPs in combination with radiation. Observation of the influence of AuNPs on normal and cancerous cell migration found the increase in the acceleration of the cell migration which is known to indicate improved normal tissue recovery. Phantom studies conducted using polymer gels impregnated with AuNPs found the results were in agreement with the biological studies. Inclusion of metallic nanoparticles in polymer gels represents first precedent in this field and the results show that AuNPs can be impregnated in a radiosensitive polymer gel and can be applied as a dosimeter in medical radiation. In the prevailing clinical circumstance where radiotherapy dose is constrained by normal tissue tolerance, AuNPs can potentially be applied as a novel radiobiological dose enhancers and this enhancement could in the future be used to improve therapeutic efficacy of radiotherapy.

description: Water is a limited and essential resource for living and its importance is understood by all. Water is a scarce resource in Australia. Many of the river basins in Australia cover only a small area and the rivers that drain them are seasonal in flow. Climate change coupled with increasing population and a growing economy has put stress on the existing water resources. In the period of drought between 2003 and 2005 the careful consumption of water was of high importance and there is a consequent need to develop new methods to use water wisely. The state and federal governments have initiated many campaigns over the past decade to reduce water consumption and conserve water. This thesis aims to identify the relationship between socio-demographic factors and water consumption using multivariate analysis techniques and geographic information systems (GIS). This thesis has examined the water consumption patterns of Metropolitan Melbourne on a postcode level during the period 2000-2005. It has investigated how these patterns have altered with time and examined whether or not these changes are geographically linked. The effectiveness of the advertising campaigns and educational programs undertaken during the study period by The Victorian Government and its impact on Melbourne's water usage has been evaluated. Moran's I statistic was performed using water consumption to find spatial autocorrelation among postcodes. Multivariate techniques of factor and regression analysis were used to develop a model based on socio-demographic predictors to estimate water consumption. The relationship between separate dwellings, business counts, distance from GPO, semi detached dwellings and academically less qualified residents has been identified in this study. The numbers of separate dwellings and businesses have a significant influence on water consumption. Water use and soci o-demographic data are visualised by the creation of thematic maps using GIS.

description: In this paper, a design procedure is introduced for an aft swept flying wing aircraft to study the influence of the spar location on the performance of the resulting wing geometry. The study was conducted using an in-house low fidelity design/optimisation tool which was built within the MATLAB environment. The tool consists of a quasi-3D aerodynamics model and a composite structure model in addition to an optimiser code. The case study involves a swept-back solar-powered flying wing UAV. Four design cases with different spar location were introduced and the results of these cases were then compared. The main finding was that the spar location has an enormous impact on the structural behaviour and thus the aerodynamic performance and stability. Moreover, if the spar location was behind the aerodynamic centre line, the wing torsion due to aerodynamic loads can mitigate the elastic deflection in a beneficial manner to enhance the stability. However, this will result in greater structural weight.

description: L’eterotopia, quando si radica nel progetto critico di uno studioso, può assumere la fisionomia di un “rovello” personale. Lo è stato per Michel Foucault che nel 1966 ha cristallizzato in una definizione e in una prima tassonomia i «luoghi reali fuori da tutti i luoghi» (Utopie, eterotopie, Napoli, Cronopio, 2006: 13), i contro-spazi «che si oppongono a tutti gli altri e sono destinati a cancellarli, a compensarli, a neutralizzarli o a purificarli» (ibid.: 12).

title: Südtirol und Kosovo
Creators: name: Egger, Christian
Year: 2009

description: Die überraschende Unabhängigkeitserklärung Kosovos im Februar 2008 löste nicht nur in der internationalen Politik heftige Reaktionen aus, sondern ließ auch in Südtirol eine erneute und stark umstrittene Debatte um die Loslösung Südtirols von Italien ausbrechen. Im Mittelpunkt der Diplomarbeit steht angesichts dieser Ereignisse die Untersuchung von Gemeinsamkeiten, Ähnlichkeiten und Unterschiede in der staats- und verfassungsrechtlichen Entwicklungsgeschichte der Autonomen Provinz Bozen-Südtirol sowie der autonomen Provinz Kosovo, dessen Autonomie 1989/90 abgeschafft wurde. Während Südtirol nur Opfer eines ideologischen Machthabers war, wurde die albanische Bevölkerung in der serbischen Provinz Kosovo sowohl aus ideologischen Gründen unterdrückt als auch auf gewaltsamer Weise verfolgt und vertrieben. Südtirol wurde durch die Internationalisierung der Südtirolfrage vor der UNO ein angemessenes Autonomiestatut zugesprochen, welches in den letzten Jahrzehnten erfolgreich ausgebaut wurde. Der Kosovo hingegen genoss seine verfassungsrechtliche Eigenständigkeit mit Inkrafttreten der jugoslawischen Bundesverfassung von 1974. Diese neue Verfassung bewirkte eine Neuregelung der autonomen Rechte und verlieh der autonomen Provinz Kosovo den Status einer gleichberechtigten Re-publik innerhalb der jugoslawischen Föderation. Mit dem politischen Aufstieg Miloševićs veränderte sich jedoch der gesamte politische Kurs in Jugoslawien und die kosovarische Autonomie fiel einer serbisch-nationalistischen Politik zum Opfer.

description: In this paper, we propose diffuse interface models for the simulation of separated two-phase flow in cryogenic injector. Instead of using a 4 equation model, we intend to improve velocity and temperature description of the phases with 7 and 5 equation models. Then, we focus on the numerical resolution. For the 7 equation, we apply the simple HLLC scheme combined with a MUSCL technique. For the 5 equation, we derive HLLC type schemes based on different system\'s formulations. Finally, we present the numerical results obtained on validation test cases and on a coaxial injector configuration.
Web interactive multimedia technology in university learning environments

description: This research studies the implementation of Elluminate, a web interactive multimedia technology used for teaching in universities. Four higher education level subjects were used as case studies to gather qualitative data from a range of stakeholders. A Design Science Research in Information Systems approach underpinned the research model used to drive data collection. This approach ensures that a utility artefact is generated by the research. In this research, guidelines were derived to assist lecturers and academic developers to choose appropriate technology affordances during subject design. Assistance during the subject design phase when lecturers and academic developers are faced with emerging technologies, such as, Elluminate, new learning spaces and a range of group sizes is critical to delivery of successful learning activities. The importance of Web 2.0 technologies to higher education institutions is undisputed. Trends towards blended classrooms, globalisation and students separated by geographical distance have influenced universities’ decisions to adopt technologies that enable ready access to information, real-time interactivity and collaboration, in order to facilitate students’ learning. The challenges for universities are to provide a continuous upgrade of information technology infrastructure and to enable fast adoption and implementation in the classroom. At times the rate of technology advancement and institutional adoption outstrips staff capacity to implement the technology affordances effectively in the learning and teaching environment. Hence, studying the use of Elluminate, technology affordances in learning activities in higher education, which is the central focus of this research, is a key to successful learning and teaching in universities. This research provides a contribution to support decision making in subject design in the form of guidelines. The guidelines as an outcome of this research were built from the data analysis based on the Design Science Research framework (Venable 2006a).

A Design Science approach required a theoretical underpinning to the research model that included the use of technology adoption theories and constructive alignment learning theory (Davis 1989; Rogers 2003; Biggs1996). Stakeholders’ opinions were considered to provide a holistic view of Elluminate implementation in universities.
