description: This PhD embodies a series of creative works rather than an analytical or purely scientific investigation.

This PhD is in accord with Rasmussen’s (1962) thoughts as published in Grueneisen (2003)
Can Architecture be heard? Most people would probably say that architecture does not produce sound, it cannot be heard. But neither does it radiate light and yet it can be seen. We see the light it reflects and therefore gain an impression of form and material. In the same way we hear the sounds it reflects and they, too, give us an impression of form and material. Differently shaped rooms and different materials reverberate differently. (p. 00.008)

Architecture is not only a visual and physical phenomenon but also an instrument that tempers and constructs our sound perceptions of the world. The projects in this PhD draw our attention to the significance of what I will term ‘aural representation’ as being a contribution in forming an understanding of a work of architecture and how architectural space conditions not only how we see the world but also how we hear it.

During my research an argument began to appear along the lines of the following: sound can be used to offer a simulation of what it may be like to be in a certain space. The sound may offer a potential description of a space and may offer information via ‘aural representation’ that drawings may not be able to offer. The sound of a space has an affordance that images do not. How might I direct these possibilities toward some useful and design-based end? The research question unfolded to become: Can sound be used to tell an audience things about space that, perhaps, images cannot? The findings from this question interact with and extend an internationally recognised body of scholarly work.

The PhD involves a series of projects. The first preliminary, exploratory projects begin to work through the questions of how sound could be used to describe space. These in turn lead to a final project involving a substantive body of creative work to help to make the knowledge gained in the PhD more explicit. This final project involves composing music for spaces based on my perceptions of their spatial sound characteristics. Each individual piece of music is based on the aural characteristics of the spaces it is created for, and in some cases, within.

description: The targeted pharmacological modulation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) is of major medical interest. These innate immune cells play a central role in the defense against pathogenic microorganisms. However, their excessive chemotactic recruitment into tissues after traumatic injury is detrimental due to local and systemic inflammation. Rho-GTPases, being the master regulators of the actin cytoskeleton, regulate migration and chemotaxis of PMNs, are attractive pharmacological targets. Herein, supramolecular protein complexes are assembled in a “mix-and-match” approach containing the specific Rho-inhibiting clostridial C3 enzyme and three PMN-binding peptides using an avidin platform. Selective delivery of the C3 Rho-inhibitor with these complexes into the cytosol of human neutrophil-like NB-4 cells and primary human PMNs ex vivo is demonstrated, where they catalyze the adenosine diphosphate (ADP) ribosylation of Rho and induce a characteristic change in cell morphology. Notably, the complexes do not deliver C3 enzyme into human lung epithelial cells, A549 lung cancer cells, and immortalized human alveolar epithelial cells (hAELVi), demonstrating their cell type-selectivity. The supramolecular complexes represent attractive molecular tools to decipher the role of PMNs in infection and inflammation or for the development of novel therapeutic approaches for diseases that are associated with hyperactivity and reactivity of PMNs such as post-traumatic injury.

A decorative effect
Creators: name: Revell, Liam
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This research project investigates the influence of decoration and decorating on a fashion design practice, exploring the transformative effects of both in relation to surface and structure.

Decoration is considered an after-effect, something that can be differentiated from the object it adheres to, sometimes making it superfluous to the object’s function. This project considers decoration as having its own function – the ability, through its link to the ‘exterior’ world, to transform the shape, appearance and context of materials and objects by modifying their façade. It is proposed that the act of decorating organises singular and disparate elements and transforms them into a whole which within the framework of this research is the garment.

Gottfried Semper’s theories underpin this project. He proposes that it is the decorative cover, and not the hidden structure, which expresses the purpose, the nature and the origin of the object, and that the object itself results from the primeval urge to create order through decorating.

In the practical experiments pursued as part of this project, these ideas are tested by investigating various examples of lace. Lace is regarded not only as a decorative cover but also symbolic of the act of decorating itself, in the manner by which it takes individual elements to create a unified whole, a characteristic embedded in its process of manufacture, with bobbin lace an example.

In response to the initial investigations into decoration, ideas of replication, individualisation and transformation, are explored, in both the practical experiments and in the text, through an analogy between the decorated cake and the clothed body and decorated garment. This is contextualised against the writings of Robin Boyd, who expresses contempt at the act of changing the shape and appearance of manufactured objects through decoration, a process he terms Featurism.

The findings of this research propose that decoration and decorating can inform fashion design practice. Decoration can be adjunct to the surface or structure of garments but it need not be a secondary consideration, and ultimately it is decoration and decorating that can be the catalyst in the design process either by representing an idea or through analysing its methods of manufacture to inform ways in which disparate elements can be combined to create a singular outcome.

Creators: name: Rigg, Anne
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This research project has explored the issues surrounding East Gippsland Institute of TAFE's (EGTAFE) inability to expand the training in Hospitality and Tourism (H&T). EGTAFE is a small regional public provider of training covering a large area in regional Victoria and it has a pivotal role in the provision of knowledge and skills to assist Gippsland's transition to an innovative economy (www.egtafe.vic.edu.au/corporate/corporate).

During this project discussions were held with a variety of stakeholders, namely local business owner/operators in the H&T Industry, researching issues such as industry skills requirements and also employers perception of EGTAFE. Action Research was employed as the methodology of this research project, as the cyclical process of planning, acting, observing and reflecting has facilitated the understanding and development of improvements to practices across the Hospitality and Service Industries (H&SI) team. Interviews, questionnaires and workshops were all part of the data collection method.

As a result of this research project the main outcomes that have emerged are 1) a better understanding of the needs of employers and employees; and 2) the development of a strong collaborative partnership with employers. Due to the connections with industry that were made because of this research project, the H&SI team is now in a position not only to deliver industry skills requirements, but also to be a partner in the process.

description: Interest in cardiac vagal activity (CVA; e.g., parasympathetically-mediated heart rate variability) as a biomarker of physical and mental health has increased exponentially in recent years. However, the understanding of sources of within-person change (i.e., intra-individual variance) in CVA is lagging behind. This systematic review and meta-analysis summarizes and quantifies current empirical evidence of within-person changes in measures of CVA across the menstrual cycle in naturally-cycling premenopausal females. We conducted an extensive literature search following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement in five databases to identify observational studies with repeated measures of CVA in at least two menstrual cycle phases. A broad meta-analysis (nstudies = 37; nindividuals = 1,004) revealed a significant CVA decrease from the follicular to luteal phase (d = −0.39, 95% CI (−0.67, −0.11)). Furthermore, 21 studies allowed for finer-grained comparisons between each of two cycle phases (menstrual, mid-to-late follicular, ovulatory, early-to-mid luteal, and premenstrual). Significant decreases in CVA were observed from the menstrual to premenstrual (nstudies = 5; nindividuals = 200; d = −1.17, 95% CI (−2.18, −0.17)) and from the mid-to-late follicular to premenstrual phases (nstudies = 8; nindividuals = 280; d = −1.32, 95% CI (−2.35, −0.29)). In conclusion, meta-analyses indicate the presence of CVA fluctuations across the menstrual cycle. Future studies involving CVA should control for cycle phase. Recommendations for covarying or selecting cycle phase are provided.

description: The AnyBody Modeling System™ (AMS) is a musculoskeletal software simulation solution using inverse dynamics analysis. It enables the determination of muscle and joint forces for a given bodily motion. The recording of the individual movement and the transfer into the AMS is a complex and protracted process. Researches indicated that the contactless, visual Leap Motion Controller (LMC) provides clinically meaningful motion data for hand tracking. Therefore, the aim of this study was to integrate the LMC hand motion data into the AMS in order to improve the process of recording a hand movement. A Python-based interface between the LMC and the AMS, termed ROSE Motion, was developed. This solution records and saves the data of the movement as Biovision Hierarchy (BVH) data and AnyScript vector files that are imported into the AMS simulation. Setting simulation parameters, initiating the calculation automatically, and fetching results is implemented by using the AnyPyTools library from AnyBody. The proposed tool offers a rapid and easy-to-use recording solution for elbow, hand, and finger movements. Features include animation, cutting/editing, exporting the motion, and remote controlling the AMS for the analysis and presentation of musculoskeletal simulation results. Comparing the motion tracking results with previous studies, covering problems when using the LMC limit the correctness of the motion data. However, fast experimental setup and intuitive and rapid motion data editing strengthen the use of marker less systems as the herein presented compared to marker based motion capturing.

Influence of chloride-induced corrosion cracks on the strength of reinforced concrete
Creators: name: Tang, Deng
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: In marine environments and where de-icing salts are applied, the degradation of reinforced concrete structures due to chloride induced corrosion of the reinforcement is a major problem. The expansive nature of the corrosion process results in cracking of the concrete and eventually spalling. In order to select suitable remedial measures it is necessary to make an assessment of the residual strength and the residual life.

In order to investigate the effect of corrosion on bond strength of the reinforcement, specimens comprising square prismatic sections containing steel reinforcement in the four corners have been subjected to a wet-dry cycle and corrosion has been accelerated by polarising the bars. The research has studied the change of bond strength with level of corrosion for 12 mm and 16 mm bars with concrete cover of 1 and 3 times the bar size. The bond strength is assessed by means of pull out tests and the corresponding extent of corrosion has been assessed in terms of the mass loss. Observations and measurements of the form of the corrosion (pit dimensions and loss of bar diameter) are also presented.

The relationship between bond strength and surface crack width has been investigated. Results show that the surface crack width may be a good indicator of residual bond strength. In addition, the influence on bond strength of concrete compressive strength, reinforcement cover, bar position and bar size on the change of bond strength has been explored.

It should be noted that all conclusions drawn in this project are based on tests on specimens without shear reinforcement (unconfined) and that accelerated corrosion (by impressed current) has been adopted. Consequently, care should be exercised in applying these results directly to structures in the field. Additional research is needed to assess the influence of impressed current on crack patterns and the effect of shear reinforcement.
Marbled Murrelets prefer stratified waters close to freshwater inputs in Haida Gwaii, BC, Canada

description: The Marbled Murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus) is a small seabird that is currently listed as threatened in Canada. Understanding this species' marine habitat preferences plays a vital role in our ability to focus conservation planning. We used the longest-running at-sea survey dataset available in British Columbia to examine hotspot persistence and habitat use at Laskeek Bay, Haida Gwaii, BC. The Laskeek Bay Conservation Society has been conducting spring and summer surveys along fixed transect routes in open and shoreline waters from 1997‒2018. Along with analyzing this long-term dataset, we conducted surveys to measure oceanographic variables (2018–2019) and tested whether murrelets in the same area used prey and oceanographic information to select marine habitat in conjunction with physical habitat features. Our hotspot persistence map, defined as areas that repeatedly had counts above a 75% threshold relative to other areas during a given survey, showed that murrelets consistently preferred shoreline transects. Murrelets also preferred shallow marine areas closer to streams, above higher proportions of sandy substrate and closer proximity to abundant nesting habitat. Modeling weather and time variables contributed little additional predictive power. Nonetheless, models that included physical environmental, oceanographic, and prey variables outperformed those with only physical environmental variables. Stratified water was the oceanographic variable most strongly related to higher counts. Our study suggests that stratified waters could work with stream systems to create productive zones for foraging murrelets, and highlights the importance of murrelets having access to marine areas with the preferred physical features.
A novel computer aided engineering method for comparative evaluation of nonlinear structures in the conceptual design phase
Creators: name: Kajtaz, Mladenko
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Selection of the preferred design concept during design represents a major challenge to design engineers as the required level of information and rigour to achieve an objective evaluation at early stage of design is typically not available. This is particularly evident during evaluation of design concepts of complex load-bearing mechanical structures. The engineering design concepts during concept design phase typically lack detail and more specific performance indicators to enable accurate evaluation. Hence in such cases, a prevailing evaluation approach is based primarily on qualitative scores inferred through personal intuition and historical experience of the design team or individual experts.

The principal motivation behind this research is to improve the ability and confidence to select a superior design concept early in the design process. The conventional approach is sensitive to individual expertise and availability of experienced designers. Therefore, in order to make more informed decisions especially in case of complex engineering designs, the concept evaluation methods require more detailed and accurate information. This research is concerned with the development of a novel method for comparative evaluation of engineering design concepts that exhibit nonlinear structural behaviour under load.

The approach is based on two key concepts: i) an expansion of the conventional substructuring technique into the nonlinear domain to enable FEA to be more applicable, effective and computationally affordable in early stages of the conceptual design phase; and ii) a restructuring of the traditional process by incorporating the optimisation search to provide orderly rule-guided evolution of design concepts in order to produce objective development metrics which alleviates the dependence on personal intuition and historical experience of the engineering designers.

A series of experiments and validation case studies conducted in this research provide conclusive evidence that demonstrates the applicability and the significance of the developed method in terms of reduced time for evaluation and amount of recurrent knowledge generated compared to the more traditional approaches based on the application of FEA in the conceptual design phase.

Furthermore, a Confidence Index as a performance measure is developed in this research to describe the quality of the obtained solutions. The derived Confidence Index is a novel contribution to the fields of metaheuristic measurements and engineering concept validation methodology.

description: Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit den Auswirkungen von Sponsoringmaßnahmen auf Kinder. Einerseits werden die Fähigkeit zur Differenzierung zwischen Sponsoring und Nicht-Sponsoring (Event) und das Sponsoringverständnis von Kindern im Alter von 6 bis 12 Jahren untersucht und mit Erkenntnissen aus der Werbewirkungsforschung verglichen. Andererseits soll nachgewiesen werden, dass sich Sponsoringmaßnahmen bei Kindern posi-tiv auf deren explizite und implizite Sponsorwahrnehmung auswirken und sich in weiterer Folge auch ihr Markenverhalten positiv zugunsten der Sponsoren verändert. Außerdem wer-den potentielle Einflussfaktoren auf die Sponsorwahrnehmung von Kindern, nämlich das Al-ter, das Event Involvement, die Sponsorship Exposure, der Event-Sponsor Fit, die Marken-bekanntheit eines Sponsors und das Produktinvolvement, überprüft. Im Zuge der empirischen Studie wurden 120 Kinder im Alter von 6 bis 12 Jahren befragt. Als Umfeld diente die Wiener Kinder-Erlebniswelt „Minopolis“, die von über 25 Unternehmen gesponsert wird. Zusätzlich wurden 25 Kinder, die „Minopolis“ nicht kannten, auf ihre implizi-te Wahrnehmung einzelner „Minopolis“-Sponsoren und ihr Markenverhalten getestet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Kinder erst zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt ihrer kognitiven Entwick-lung zwischen Sponsoring- und Unterhaltungselementen (Event bzw. Fernsehprogramm) differenzieren können als es im Bereich der Werbung der Fall ist, da Sponsoring weniger offensichtlich eingesetzt wird. Betreffend des Sponsoringverständnisses aber lässt sich sa-gen, dass Kinder zu einem ähnlichen Zeitpunkt wie bei Werbung die Intentionen der Unter-nehmen begreifen. Sobald sie in der Lage sind, den Zweck der Werbung zu verstehen, wird ihnen auch der Sinn des Sponsorings klar. Des Weiteren kann im Rahmen dieser Arbeit nachgewiesen werden, dass sich Sponsoring-maßnahmen sowohl auf die ungestützte und die gestützte Erinnerung als auch auf die Wie-dererkennung und die implizite Markenwahrnehmung auswirken. Der vermutete positive Ein-fluss der Sponsorwahrnehmung auf die Markenwahl von Kindern kann jedoch nicht belegt werden. Hinsichtlich der potentiellen Einflussgrößen für den Erfolg von Sponsoring können positive Zusammenhänge mit der Sponsorwahrnehmung für das Alter der Event-Besucher, die Besuchshäufigkeit des Events und die Markenbekanntheit bestätigt werden.

description: Abstract We propose a method to simulate the dynamics of spin-boson models with small crystals of trapped ions where the electronic degree of freedom of one ion is used to encode the spin while the collective vibrational degrees of freedom are employed to form an effective harmonic environment. The key idea of our approach is that a single damped mode can be used to provide a harmonic environment with Lorentzian spectral density. More complex spectral functions can be tailored by combining several individually damped modes. The protocol is especially well-suited to simulate spin-boson models with structured environments. We propose to work with mixed-species crystals such that one species serves to encode the spin while the other species is used to cool the vibrational degrees of freedom to engineer the environment. The strength of the dissipation on the spin can be controlled by tuning the coupling between spin and vibrational degrees of freedom. In this way the dynamics of spin-boson models with macroscopic and non-Markovian environments can be simulated using only a few ions. We illustrate the approach by simulating an experiment with realistic parameters and show by computing quantitative measures that the dynamics is genuinely non-Markovian.

description: Silicon anodes exhibit large volume changes during cycling. Thus, they suffer from accelerated capacity fade due to fracture and regrowth of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). In this study, we develop a novel model, which consistently couples electrochemistry and mechanics within electrode particle and SEI. Thereby, we analyze mechanically accelerated SEI growth during battery cycling for the first time. Silicon anodes promise high energy densities of next‐generation lithium‐ion batteries, but suffer from shorter cycle life. The accelerated capacity fade stems from the repeated fracture and healing of the solid‐electrolyte interphase (SEI) on the silicon surface. This interplay of chemical and mechanical effects in SEI on silicon electrodes causes a complex aging behavior. However, so far, no model mechanistically captures the interrelation between mechanical SEI deterioration and accelerated SEI growth. In this article, we present a thermodynamically consistent continuum model of an electrode particle surrounded by an SEI layer. The silicon particle model consistently couples chemical reactions, physical transport, and elastic deformation. The SEI model comprises elastic and plastic deformation, fracture, and growth. Capacity fade measurements on graphite anodes and in‐situ mechanical SEI measurements on lithium thin films provide parametrization for our model. For the first time, we model the influence of cycling rate on the long‐term mechanical SEI deterioration and regrowth. Our model predicts the experimentally observed transition in time dependence from square‐root‐of‐time growth during battery storage to linear‐in‐time growth during continued cycling. Thereby our model unravels the mechanistic dependence of battery aging on operating conditions and supports the efforts to prolong the battery life of next‐generation lithium‐ion batteries.
