Radiometric detection of partial discharge sources using smart antennas

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Radiometric partial discharge (PD) detection is an attractive technique with potential for condition monitoring of live assets in high voltage power networks. Reported developments in this domain have resulted in handheld PD probes and time of arrival-based source localization using high speed digital sampling oscilloscopes. However, due to the operator involvement in using handheld probes and the cost associated with high-speed digital sampling oscilloscopes, the practical applicability of radiometric PD detection has been limited. A review of the reported literature shows that these systems make use of basic antenna structures for the reception of radiated PD signals. Investigations on a purpose-built automated antenna system for PD detection have not been reported in open literature. This research project investigated the development of an automated condition monitoring system using a smart antenna. The smart antenna not only facilitates detection of PD, but also provides location information of the radiation source within the switchyard. The developed smart antenna system consists of a phased array antenna and an automated PD detector. The phased array antenna is designed with high gain and agile beam for operation in a frequency band where significant power from the radiated PD signal is concentrated. Signals detected by this antenna are fed to a digitizer for automatic identification of PD occurrences. Antenna components,including broadband antenna elements, power dividers, and a digital beamforming network for electronic control, have been developed from scratch. A low-cost digital phase shifter for use in this beamforming network has been designed, using LC-compensated band switching PIN diodes. A frequency down-converter has been designed to facilitate PD detection using a low-cost waveform digitizer. The digitized signal is processed to automatically identify the presence of PD signals. The location of the PD source is estimated by combining this PD detector result and orientation of the antenna main-lobe. A novel post-processing technique based on sensor fusion has been developed to improve the location identification of radiating sources using the smart antenna.

Graphene-based ultralight Cellular elastomer

description: Graphene, a newly discovered two-dimensional carbon material, possesses a combination of exceptional mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. These extraordinary properties make graphene an excellent building block for assembling macroscopic materials for widespread applications, ranging from structural materials to flexible electronics. Previous research on graphene bulk material was mainly centred on development of assembly techniques, but little attention has been paid to the engineering of intersheet interactions and assembled architecture. This thesis has developed a graphene cellular monolith with cork-like hierarchical structure through the control of graphene chemistry and assembly behavior. For the first time in graphene bulk material research, superelasticity is observed in the synthesized graphene monolith. This unique hierarchical structure control technique also enables us to produce extremely low density graphene elastomer (≥0.5 mg/cm3, even lower than half of the density of air). By utilizing the electrically conductive function, the dynamic electromechanics of graphene elastomer is investigated. The fast responsive and ultra-sensitive piezoresistive behavior of graphene elastomer is revealed. The graphene elastomer thus provides a new platform material for design of next generation of fast responsive flexible electronics. Additionally, the research demonstrates that using a very small volume fraction of cork-like graphene elastomer (as low as 0.045 vol.%) as reinforcing scaffold is able to significantly enhance the mechanical strength and electrical conductivity of smart hydrogel without compromising its functionality. Such high efficiency reinforcement has proven difficult to be achieved by other nanofiller reinforcement approaches.

Subjects: subject: Populations and Evolution (q-bio.PE)

description: The changes on abiotic features of ecosystems have rarely been taken into account by population dynamics models, which typically focus on trophic and competitive interactions between species. However, understanding the population dynamics of organisms that must modify their habitats in order to survive, the so-called ecosystem engineers, requires the explicit incorporation of abiotic interactions in the models. Here we study a model of ecosystem engineers that is discrete both in space and time, and where the engineers and their habitats are arranged in patches fixed to the sites of regular lattices. The growth of the engineer population is modeled by Ricker equation with a density-dependent carrying capacity that is given by the number of modified habitats. A diffusive dispersal stage ensures that a fraction of the engineers move from their birth patches to neighboring patches. We find that dispersal influences the metapopulation dynamics only in the case that the local or single-patch dynamics exhibits chaotic behavior. In that case, it can suppress the chaotic behavior and avoid extinctions in the regime of large intrinsic growth rate of the population.

Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University

description: With the world amid the evolution of the digital age and the rise of social networking, it is more than evident that consumer behaviour has changed, and social media platforms like Instagram are used extensively for Marketing communications. This change has led to an expanding number of opportunities and challenges. Both academics and practitioners have acknowledged the increasing importance of social media influencers (SMI’s). Nevertheless, due to its contemporaneousness, the academic literature regarding this subject faces some limitations. To expand knowledge in this field, the present study explores marketing professionals’ knowledge towards SMI’s and SMI marketing campaigns on Instagram, respecting existing literature and identifying the most recent issues. A qualitative approach with purposive sampling is followed to achieve the study objectives. The research includes a two-phased approach and comprises eleven semi-structured interviews with luxury brand industry professionals, who have already executed SMI marketing campaigns. Thematic analysis helps to identify and analyse relevant factors of these interviews, where axial codes are defined, and selective themes clustered. The findings of this study highlight the importance of SMI’s, also in light of the somewhat quixotic challenge of the luxury social paradox. The principal value of this study is that it introduces a new Integrative Influencer Marketing Campaign (IIMC) framework, documenting all stages of an SMI campaign process and highlighting success characteristics.

Image quality assessment seeks to measure the quality of an image as human visual system perceives. The aim of blind image quality assessment is to evaluate the image quality without access to the reference image. Image quality assessment plays an important role in many image processing applications such as medical imaging, image transmission, image restoration and image recognition. There has been a continuous research on image quality assessment. During the past two decades, several state-of-the-art algorithms have been developed. The aim of this thesis is develop blind image quality assessment algorithms based on the natural image statistics and Benford’s law. Blind image quality assessment is the first issue studied in this thesis. The key idea is to use the Benford’s law as a model for natural undistorted image in the transform domain. The distortion applied to an image can result in the divergence from Benford’s law. This divergence and some other statistical measures are used as features to train a model for blind image quality assessment. An efficient blind image quality assessment algorithm has been developed. The second problem investigated in this thesis is image distortion classification. The goal is to develop a distortion classification algorithm that can efficiently classify the distortion presented in an image. Distortion classification plays an important role in blind image quality assessment. The basic idea is to use the generalized Benford’s law in image distortion classification. The generalized Benford’s law and two of generalized Benford’s law parameters have been used as features to train a cubic support vector machine classifier. The proposed algorithm outperformed many state-of-the-art algorithms. A validation study on two widely used assumptions on natural scene statistics is the third problem investigated in this thesis. Although these two assumptions are used widely in image quality assessment algorithms, they are only tested on a limited number of natural images. A validation study is conducted on five natural image databases with high resolution images to investigate these assumptions. The results strongly support these assumptions.
Cleaner Production Options for Solid Waste Management in the Leather Industry

description: The leather industry is characterized as an industry that uses moderately large types and quantities of chemicals and water. The wastes generated in tannery processes include wastewater effluent, solid waste, and hazardous waste. These wastes create pollution problems in the environment. Most leather industries in Ethiopia discharge wastes into the environment prior to any proper treatment. An alternative approach to this is to eliminate or reduce the problem at the source using Cleaner Production (CP) approach. In this paper, a study is performed at Addis Ababa Tannery Sh.Co.(AAT) by implementing CP Methodologies. The solid waste inventory of the factory has been carried out. The major problems have been identified. The possible CP options for the existing problems are also suggested. Technical and economic aspects of the best three CP options have been evaluated. Result of the study indicates that the implementation of the suggested CP options gives significant benefit for the factory.

description: In unified models, different types of active galaxy nuclei correspond to a single class of objects, where their observed differences are solely due to the different orientations of the obscuring material around the central inner regions. Recent studies also show that this obscuring material can even extend at galactic scales due to debris and/or mergers. In standard unified models the different AGN types are expected to show similar galaxy environments. We aim to investigate properties and environment of obscured and unobscured AGNs selected from the MUSYC survey, in order to test the unified model and evolutionary scenarios. The sample of AGNs was selected from images obtained with the IRAC Camera, based on their MIR colors. We selected two samples of AGNs with redshifts in the range $1\le z \le 2$ and $M_v\leq -$21: obscured and unobscured AGNs by means of a simple optical-MIR color cut criterion. We find that obscured AGNs are intrinsically optically faint in the R band, suggesting that luminous IR-selected AGNs have a significant dust extinction. From a cross-correlation with several X-ray surveys, we find that the majority of the AGNs have X-ray luminosities similar to those found in Seyfert-like galaxies. Neighbouring galaxies located close to ($\sim$200 kpc) obscured AGNs tend to have redder colors, compared to the local environment of unobscured AGNs. Results obtained from a KS test show that the two color distributions are different at $\sim$95% confidence level. We find that obscured AGNs are located in denser local galaxy environments compared to the unobscured AGN sample. Our results suggest that AGN obscuration can occur at galactic scales, possibly due to galaxy interactions or mergers, and that the simple unified model based solely on the local torus orientation may not be sufficient to explain all the observations.

Dancing like a Man: Sexuality, Gender and the Body among Contemporary Male Dancers in Australia

Year: 2023

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society, School of Psychology and Public Health, College of Science, Health and Engineering, La Trobe University, Victoria, Australia.

Research on men who dance has generally focused on the idea and experience of marginalisation. Such men and boys have been regarded as “gay” or not “real” men by virtue of their dancing. Rather than focusing on marginalisation, this study explores more diverse experiences of professional male dancers who work in three Australian contemporary dance companies, and the interconnection of gender, sexuality and dance. The institutional cultures and traditions in contemporary dance companies and the agency of these professional male dancers are examined, particularly in relation to gender (masculinity) and sexuality. The research examines the experiences of men participating in an activity beyond the commonly researched arenas in which men and masculinity are explored. The study seeks to capture the complex and nuanced ways that male dancers consider themselves as “men who dance” at a time of broad social shifts in gender expectations, which include increased acceptance of sexual diversity and non-homophobic models of “doing” masculinity. This qualitative study used ethnographic observations and interviews with 14 professional male dancers and nine key informants in three dance companies. Drawing on sociological ideas about gender, masculinity and the body, the study explores how male dancers negotiate dominant gender and sexuality discourses that have historically framed dance as problematic for men. Differences between the companies reveal that the dancers they employ must simultaneously manage professional expectations of themselves as male performers, as well as operationalise prevailing ideas of gender and sexuality as part of their daily work as dancers. Dance is a unique space where bodies, sex, sexuality and gender are less stable than other professional settings. Professional standards, company pressures, social expectations and the objectification of bodies contribute to the sexual and gender identities of these male dancers. Contemporary dance becomes a site in which masculinities are institutionally produced, enacted, performed and deployed. Male dancers also perform gender and sexuality in a very special way through the practice of dance as, and in, their daily work. These dancers are not simply dealing with gender and sexuality at an individual level or solely as a personal issue, but deal with these issues in groups, when interacting with colleagues and in the institutional cultures in which they worked. For male dancers, their masculinities are informed by both ideas and practices inherent in dance itself and their interaction with dominant assumptions about gender and sexuality.
A new insight into the consistency of smoothed particle hydrodynamics

description: In this paper the problem of consistency of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) is solved. A novel error analysis is developed in $n$-dimensional space using the Poisson summation formula, which enables the treatment of the kernel and particle approximation errors in combined fashion. New consistency integral relations are derived for the particle approximation which correspond to the cosine Fourier transform of the classically known consistency conditions for the kernel approximation. The functional dependence of the error bounds on the SPH interpolation parameters, namely the smoothing length $h$ and the number of particles within the kernel support ${\cal{N}}$ is demonstrated explicitly from which consistency conditions are seen to follow naturally. As ${\cal{N}}\to\infty$, the particle approximation converges to the kernel approximation independently of $h$ provided that the particle mass scales with $h$ as $m\propto h^β$, with $β>n$. This implies that as $h\to 0$, the joint limit $m\to 0$, ${\cal{N}}\to\infty$, and $N\to\infty$ is necessary for complete convergence to the continuum, where $N$ is the total number of particles. The analysis also reveals the presence of a dominant error term of the form $(\ln {\cal{N}})^{n}/{\cal{N}}$, which tends asymptotically to $1/{\cal{N}}$ when ${\cal{N}}\gg 1$, as it has long been conjectured based on the similarity between the SPH and the quasi-Monte Carlo estimates.

description: In recent years the volume of literature on the Aborigine has increased greatly. Why, then, produce yet another study on the Australian Aborigines? The answer lies in the comparative neglect in the past of the particular area chosen for study.
Until recently the outstanding feature of the literature on Aborigines was the paucity of material on current socio-economic, political and legal aspects of Aboriginal life. More attention is now being paid to these topics but few studies on the relationship between Aborigines and the law have yet been published. Campbell and Whitmore discuss current legislation relating to Aborigines but go on to point out that 'an entire volume would be required to even sketch the practical administration of the laws'. The present volume is an attempt to supply in part this deficiency. It was decided to study not only the administration of special legislation relating to Aborigines but also the administration of the general law as it affected them.

description: We extend recent theoretical results on the propagation of linear gravitational waves (GWs), including their associated memories, in spatially flat Friedmann--Lemaître--Robertson--Walker (FLRW) universes, for all spacetime dimensions higher than 3. By specializing to a cosmology driven by a perfect fluid with a constant equation-of-state $w$ -- conformal re-scaling, dimension-reduction and Nariai's ansatz may then be exploited to obtain analytic expressions for the graviton and photon Green's functions, allowing their causal structure to be elucidated. When $0 < w \leq 1$, the gauge-invariant scalar mode admits wave solutions, and like its tensor counterpart, likely contributes to the tidal squeezing and stretching of the space around a GW detector. In addition, scalar GWs in 4D radiation dominated universes -- like tensor GWs in 4D matter dominated ones -- appear to yield a tail signal that does not decay with increasing spatial distance from the source. We then solve electromagnetism in the same cosmologies, and point out a tail-induced electric memory effect. Finally, in even dimensional Minkowski backgrounds higher than 2, we make a brief but explicit comparison between the linear GW memory generated by point masses scattering off each other on unbound trajectories and the linear Yang-Mills memory generated by color point charges doing the same -- and point out how there is a "double copy" relation between the two.

description: The (tree) amplituhedron A(n,k,m) is the image in the Grassmannian Gr(k,k+m) of the totally nonnegative part of Gr(k,n), under a (map induced by a) linear map which is totally positive. It was introduced by Arkani-Hamed and Trnka in 2013 in order to give a geometric basis for the computation of scattering amplitudes in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. When k+m=n, the amplituhedron is isomorphic to the totally nonnegative Grassmannian, and when k=1, the amplituhedron is a cyclic polytope. While the case m=4 is most relevant to physics, the amplituhedron is an interesting mathematical object for any m. In this paper we study it in the case m=1. We start by taking an orthogonal point of view and define a related "B-amplituhedron" B(n,k,m), which we show is isomorphic to A(n,k,m). We use this reformulation to describe the amplituhedron in terms of sign variation. We then give a cell decomposition of the amplituhedron A(n,k,1) using the images of a collection of distinguished cells of the totally nonnegative Grassmannian. We also show that A(n,k,1) can be identified with the complex of bounded faces of a cyclic hyperplane arrangement, and describe how its cells fit together. We deduce that A(n,k,1) is homeomorphic to a ball.

description: Este trabajo tiene como objetivo fundamental, mostrar de una manera sintetizada, el análisis que hace Heidegger de “Ser y Tiempo” acerca de la definición cartesiana del mundo. Aquí se explicitará, en tres acciones, la forma como Descartes concibe el mundo como “Res Extensa” (Mundo Natural), la forma como concibe el conocimiento del mundo y el espacio a partir de la actitud teórica y finalmente la forma como se basó Descarte en una idea del ser de la pura sustancialidad que en ultimas, le sirvió de fundamentos ontológicos para emitir su definición del mundo.

description: El presente trabajo de grado describe el proceso y los resultados de la investigación desde “Estrategias Cognitivas para mejorar la Comprensión Lectora” en los estudiantes del grado quinto de la Institución Educativa Mandela del Municipio de Cartagena, departamento de Bolívar. Se presentaron teorías que fundamenta y guía el trabajo de investigación planteando, entre otros el concepto de comprensión lectora, del nivel literal, inferencial, y crítico basado en el aprendizaje significativo; así mismo el concepto de textos narrativos y literarios recreados y dinamizados mediante estrategias pedagógicas. En este sentido el trabajo partió de la realización de un estudio diagnóstico sobre el tema, en el cual se llevó a cabo inicialmente una prueba de comprensión lectora de texto narrativo, cuyos resultados evidenciaron las dificultades de los estudiantes en los tres niveles de comprensión lectora: literal, inferencial y crítico. A partir de ello se diseñó e implementó la propuesta de intervención, basada en una secuencia de actividades como: lectura al aire libre, lecturas guiadas, reportes de lectura, juego de palabras, dramatizados, rompe cabezas; logrando un aprendizaje significativo. Se evaluó mediante dos pruebas de selección múltiple y tablas de porcentajes para evidenciar el logro alcanzado por los estudiantes, demostrando que las estrategias utilizadas fueron apropiadas para mejorar la comprensión lectora.
Flocking dynamics with voter-like interactions

description: We study the collective motion of a large set of self-propelled particles subject to voter-like interactions. Each particle moves on a two-dimensional space at a constant speed in a direction that is randomly assigned initially. Then, at every step of the dynamics, each particle adopts the direction of motion of a randomly chosen neighboring particle. We investigate the time evolution of the global alignment of particles measured by the order parameter $φ$, until complete order $φ=1.0$ is reached (polar consensus). We find that $φ$ increases as $t^{1/2}$ for short times and approaches exponentially fast to $1.0$ for long times. Also, the mean time to consensus $τ$ varies non-monotonically with the density of particles $ρ$, reaching a minimum at some intermediate density $ρ_{\tiny \mbox{min}}$. At $ρ_{\tiny \mbox{min}}$, the mean consensus time scales with the system size $N$ as $τ_{\tiny \mbox{min}} \sim N^{0.765}$, and thus the consensus is faster than in the case of all-to-all interactions (large $ρ$) where $τ=2N$. We show that the fast consensus, also observed at intermediate and high densities, is a consequence of the segregation of the system into clusters of equally-oriented particles which breaks the balance of transitions between directional states in well mixed systems.

The Intersection of Private Family Law and Non-Federal Claims: An Examination of the Family Court of Australia’s Accrued Jurisdiction
Creators: name: DANIEL MATTA
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: This thesis undertakes an examination of accrued jurisdiction as it has been applied in the Family Court of Australia (`Family Court'). In appropriate cases, accrued jurisdiction allows a federal court to determine disputes that arise under non-federal law, for example, state law or the common law. The Family Court is often required to consider matters not specifically addressed in the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) (`FLA'). This thesis examines how this specialist court has grappled with cases exceeding the traditional limits of family law disputes governed by the FLA by examining the history, interpretation and application of accrued jurisdiction
T-CONV: A Convolutional Neural Network For Multi-scale Taxi Trajectory Prediction

subject: I.2.6; H.2.8

description: Precise destination prediction of taxi trajectories can benefit many intelligent location based services such as accurate ad for passengers. Traditional prediction approaches, which treat trajectories as one-dimensional sequences and process them in single scale, fail to capture the diverse two-dimensional patterns of trajectories in different spatial scales. In this paper, we propose T-CONV which models trajectories as two-dimensional images, and adopts multi-layer convolutional neural networks to combine multi-scale trajectory patterns to achieve precise prediction. Furthermore, we conduct gradient analysis to visualize the multi-scale spatial patterns captured by T-CONV and extract the areas with distinct influence on the ultimate prediction. Finally, we integrate multiple local enhancement convolutional fields to explore these important areas deeply for better prediction. Comprehensive experiments based on real trajectory data show that T-CONV can achieve higher accuracy than the state-of-the-art methods.

description: La pérdida de masa renal funcionante en algún momento de la vida, ha sido objeto de numerosos estudios para intentar definir el pronóstico del riñón remanente. La primera respuesta es la hipertrofia de este riñón solitario, en un intento de asumir la carga funcional del riñón anulado, lo que supone un aumento de las presiones del capilar glomerular, que siendo inicialmente benéficas, pueden, de hecho, resultar un mecanismo mala adaptativo que conduzca a un riesgo de insuficiencia renal, hipertensión y albuminuria. Se han detectado una serie de factores que pueden afectar a esta posible evolución, como la edad a la que se produce la pérdida renal, el tiempo que transcurre tras la misma o la patología asociada del riñón remanente.

Recognition Through Representation: the case for an Indigenous representative body in the Constitution
Creators: name: SHIREEN MORRIS
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: Over recent years, the Australian debate on Indigenous constitutional recognition has tended to focus on judicially adjudicated mechanisms for Indigenous rights protection. Representative, political and participatory forms of recognition have not been extensively explored. This thesis addresses that gap. It examines whether mechanisms for increased Indigenous representation, political participation and self-determination could form part of a revised package of reforms capable of engendering the necessary bipartisan political support for a successful referendum. It suggests that Indigenous recognition can indeed be achieved through representation, and makes the case for a constitutionally mandated Indigenous body to guarantee Indigenous peoples participation and representation in laws and policies with respect to Indigenous affairs.
