description: In the field of computer graphics, the simulation of the visual appearance of materials requires an accurate computation of the light transport equation. Consequently, material models need to take into account various factors which may influence the spectral radiance perceived by the human eye. Though numerous relevant studies on the reflectance properties of materials have been conducted to date, environment maps used to simulate visual behaviors remain chiefly trichromatic. Whereas questions regarding the accurate characterization of natural lighting have been raised for some time, there are still no real sky environment maps that include both spectral radiance and polarization data. Under these conditions the simulations carried out are approximate and therefore insufficient for the industrial world where investment-sensitive decisions are often made based on these very calculations.

description: Fluorescence - the effect of a photon being absorbed at one wavelength and re-emitted at another - is present in many common materials such as clothes and paper. Yet there has been little research in rendering or modeling fluorescent surfaces. We discuss the design decisions leading to a simple model for a diffuse fluorescent BBRRDF (bispectral bidirectional reflection and reradiation distribution function). In contrast to reradiation matrix based models our model is continuous in wavelength space. It can be parameterized by artificially designed spectra as well as by many publicly available physical measurements. It combines fluorescence and non-fluorescent reflectance, as most real-world materials are not purely fluorescent but also reflect some light without changing its wavelength. With its simple parameterization the BBRRDF is intended as a starting point for any physically based spectral rendering system aiming to simulate fluorescence. To that end we show how to continuously sample both incident and exitant wavelengths from our BBRRDF which makes it suitable for bidirectional transport, and we discuss energy and photon conservation in the context of fluorescence.

description: While common in real life, rendering fiber and cloth accurately is challenging. Recent fiber-based, procedural rendering approaches proved to be able to capture a great amount of details of real yarn. However, the current automatic method of fitting the model parameters is expensive and inaccessible as it relies on micro CT scans of the reference yarn. The alternative is to have an artist fit the parameters by hand, which is impractical because of the large number of parameters. We present a proof-of-concept for a purely image-based approach to fit the parameters of a procedural yarn model. Using gradient descent and pixel-based loss functions, we are able to extract a subset of the model parameters from rendered images with known parameters. The appearance of the fitted models is nearly indistinguishable from the reference images.

description: Accurate representation of realistic cloth appearance is of high importance in many industry fields such as entertainment and textile design. However, microstructure of fibers and their optical properties generate very complex lighting effects, often not reproduced by empirical and theoretical models. In contrast, data-driven appearance models obtained with simulations on explicit representations of fibers have proved to yield accurate cloth appearance, but resulting in discretized distribution functions that require costly precomputations, massive storage, and expensive evaluation in render time. Finding efficient representations for these models is therefore of key importance to find good trade-offs between accuracy and affordable computational costs. In this work we explore the use of different analytical models to represent these data-driven distributions, which arises as a promising middle-ground solution to this problem with benefits in both storage, computational cost, and affordable generation of new fiber appearance models. We base this analysis on our recent work where we provide highly detailed tabulations of different types of cloth fibers appearance. We analyze the spectral component of different fiber appearance functions, and observe that just ten levels of spherical harmonics are sufficient to represent the appearance many smooth fibers. We also propose a generic method to fit Gaussian Mixture Models to massively tabulated appearance functions, reducing storage costs from hundreds of MBs to a few KBs, and producing equivalent results 40 times faster. We finally analyze how interpolations in the space of fibers absorption can be exploited to generate novel fiber appearance functions without requiring costly brute-force precomputations.

description: For each structural and functional design of the organizational system, it is necessary before the start of design to know which is the highest hierarchical principle for the organization. The paper presents the results of research that give an answer to the question "What is the highest hierarchically principle for QMS in profit-oriented organizations?". Presented the highest hierarchical principle is explored for the purpose of orientation of quality management system in profit-oriented organizations. Defined principle should be used for the decomposition of lower hierarchical principles and objectives (6.2, ISO 9001: 2015). Defined principle enables the necessary integration of quality management systems in the business system of profit-oriented organizations.
Institutional Theory And The Natural Environment: Building Research Through Tensions And Paradox
Creators: name: Hoffman, Andrew
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2017

description: The focus of institutional theory is directed towards an understanding of situations such as those depicted in Rachel Carson's quote above – situations where context is strong and binding, yet subtly experienced; where agency is often diffuse, embodied in an arrangement or system of actors rather than in an individual; and where action and inaction both matter, if in often unpredictable ways. One area in which these phenomena are notably pronounced is research in the area of the interaction between institutional systems and the workings of the natural environment; the ways in which human societies both understand their interface with that environment, and the ways in which the actions of one impact the other. In this chapter, we offer an overview of that domain of research, tracing the evolution of efforts at combining the two since its beginnings in the early 1990s, when the Greening of Industry Network initiated its environmental management research collection (1989), the Organizations and the Natural Environment special interest group of the Academy of Management was formed (1994) and the seminal Special Issue on environmental management was published in the Academy of Management Review (1995).
A Method for Fitting Measured Car Paints to a Game Engine's Rendering Model

description: Car paints are visually complex materials that are of great importance for numerous real-time applications, including not only the game and movie industries but also virtual prototyping and design as well as advertisement. In addition to the creation of plausible materials by designers, more and more industrial effort is spent on capturing large databases of digitized materials. However, capturing complex reflectance characteristics of car paints involves the use of specialized, commercially available devices that come with predefined, standardized material formats. Using these digitized materials within other frameworks such as game engines is a challenging task due to the lacking compatibility of the involved rendering models. In this paper, we address these compatibility issues by fitting the available parameters of the game engine's material model to best match the appearance of the measured material.

Year: 2018

description: The color designers are used to introduce customized product design, visually communicating the unique impression of a car. They always carefully observe harmony of color and body shape to obtain desired visual impression. This paper studies to what extent anisotropic appearance improves a visual impression of a car body beyond a standard isotropic one. To address this challenge, we ran several psychophysical studies identifying the proper alignment of an anisotropic axis over a car body. We have shown that subjects preferred an anisotropy axis orthogonal to car body orientation and that the majority of subjects found the anisotropic appearance more visually appealing than the isotropic one.

This paper outlines physical principles for determining the temperature distributions within a 3D scene and with it the overall radiance reaching an IR sensor. Hitherto existing approaches for physically based rendering are surveyed. Supposing that those methods still can benefit from recent rendering concepts in visible spectrum, we point out possible transfers.

description: Existing mobility research has tended to focus primarily on one important class of movement data: trajectory data, such as GNSS trajectories. In contrast, checkpoint data, such as generated social media ``check-ins' or smart card ``swipes,'  represents an ontologically distinct class of movement data. Checkpoint data exhibits fundamentally different spatial and temporal granularity characteristics when compared to trajectory data. Arguably underutilized and less well understood, this thesis investigates systematically the analytics of checkpoint movement data. The research approach develops a single, consistent conceptual model of checkpoint movement data, called the cordon network. The cordon network addresses one of the key challenges of using checkpoint data: the heterogeneity of checkpoint movement data sets. Unlike the trajectory data, which demands a primarily geometric framework, checkpoint data uses primarily graph data structures and algorithms. The cordon network is itself founded on the fundamental distinction between two complementary types of checkpoint movement data: transaction records and presence records. A set of primitive analytic operations are defined to work with both transaction and presence checkpoint data at varying scales. A software analytics toolkit that implements the cordon network model was developed, based on a graph database. To validate the implementation, a number of case studies were developed using real movement data sets. These example data sets exhibited highly heterogeneous characteristics, typical of checkpoint movement data. The results frame the commonalities of all checkpoint movement data, despite its apparent heterogeneity, including: the transaction/presence duality; distinct spatiotemporal granularity; and the intrinsic relationship between checkpoints their underlying movement environment. The cordon network provides a faithful representation of checkpoint movement data that successfully captures those features. The research outcomes provide a foundation and blueprint for future storage, sharing, and spatial analysis systems for checkpoint movement data.

description: Galaxies are surrounded by sizeable gas reservoirs which host a significant amount of metals: the circum-galactic medium (CGM). The CGM acts as a mediator between the galaxy and the extra-galactic medium. However, our understanding of how galaxy mergers, a major evolutionary transformation, impact the CGM remains deficient. We present a theoretical study of the effect of galaxy mergers on the CGM: We use hydrodynamical cosmological zoom-in simulations of a major merger selected from the Illustris project such that the z=0 descendant is a Milky Way-like galaxy, and then re-simulated at a 40 times higher mass resolution. We include post-processing ionization modelling. This work demonstrates the effect the merger has on the characteristic size of the CGM, its metallicity and the predicted covering fraction of various commonly observed gas-phase species, such as H I, C IV and O VI. We show that merger-induced outflows can increase the CGM metallicity by 0.2-0.3 dex within 0.5 Gyr post-merger. These effects last up to 6 Gyr post-merger. While the merger increases the total metal covering fractions by factors of 2-3, the covering fractions of commonly observed UV ions decrease due to the hard ionizing radiation from the active galactic nucleus. The case study of the single simulated major merger presented in this work demonstrates the significant impact that a galaxy interaction can have on the size, metallicity and observed column densities of the CGM (Hani et al. in prep).

Selfie or self-acceptance: does matching of brand communication content to consumer goals enhance consumer evaluations?
Creators: name: Dollisson, Nadja
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 350606
subject: Marketing research methodology

description: A large body of research suggests consumers are disillusioned with brands, disappointed by marketing strategies and increasingly aware of brand persuasion tactics. This has led to increased ad avoidance and loss of interest in brand communication as a resource for consumer identity formation. Brands have misunderstood what consumers are seeking and flooded them with artfully designed brand communication instead of finding ways to engage that consumers perceive as meaningful. The question remains, how to provide consumers with identity-relevant brand communication that assists consumers in their search for meaning to facilitate deeper brand connections. This thesis responds to this apparent disconnect and addresses whether matching brand communication content, either as a print ad or as a story, to consumer goals leads to more favourable consumer evaluations. Four studies were conducted with findings obtained through Structural Equation Modelling suggesting that a match between consumer goals and goals displayed in brand communication positively impacts consumer evaluations. This effect was shown via an increase in perceived state-authenticity, which also results in a reduction in situational persuasion knowledge. In contrast, a mismatch had the opposite effect. Persuasion knowledge by itself did not mediate the relationships. Stories were identified as a suitable application strategy to improve brand evaluations through narrative transportation but are ineffective or even backfire when the story does not match consumer aspirations. The last and therefore fifth study in this series used a Virtual Reality shopping centre to allow behaviour to be observed whereby consumers showed preference for a window display aligned with their aspirations. The data was analysed using Binary Logistic Regression. In addition to adding to the current theories surrounding the matching hypothesis, this thesis aimed to provide marketers with insight into improving brand communication and building meaningful brand-consumer connections, which may contribute to reducing ad avoidance.

description: An increase in processing power enabled to increase resolution and the number of ensemble members for both weather and climate simulations during the last decades. As a result, the amount of model input and

output data that needs to be stored and processed increased significantly. However, supercomputing storage capacities did not grow at the same rate as processing power. Today, data storage and data processing generates significant cost for weather and climate modelling centres.

This deliverable suggests three new compression methods to reduce data volume for model output of ensemble simulations. If the new methods are used, the number of bits that is used to store individual variables can be reduced to reduce overall data volume while keeping the loss of information minimal. Two of the new methods rely on similarities between ensemble members in ensemble forecasts. If these methods are used, numerical precision will be high when ensemble spread is small and precision will decrease with increasing ensemble spread throughout the forecast. The methods are tested for model output of operational ensemble forecasts at ECMWF.

In questo contributo si sottolinea l’importanza del giornale marchigiano nel contesto degli studi di storia dell’arte di quel periodo, grazie alla collaborazione di eruditi locali, tra cui spicca Egidio Calzini, e figure di primo piano nel panorama nazionale, come Gustavo Frizzoni, Francesco Malaguzzi Valeri e Adolfo Venturi. L’articolo pone l’attenzione sugli elementi più significativi del metodo adottato dagli autori, che si distingue soprattutto per l’approccio positivista. Partendo da alcuni contributi significativi, come lo studio di artisti quali Federico Barocci e il tentativo di definire una scuola artistica marchigiana autonoma da quella umbra e con caratteristiche uniche, si analizzano le tematiche che meglio hanno caratterizzato le uscite della rivista

The research focuses attention on the «Rassegna bibliografica dell’arte italiana», a specialized journal published between 1898 and 1916. The paper underlines the importance of the Marchigian periodical for the studies of art history during that time, thanks to collaboration provided by local and erudite researchers, above all Egidio Calzini, and important scholars such as Gustavo Frizzoni, Francesco Malaguzzi Valeri, and Adolfo Venturi. The article pays attention to peculiar elements of the method used by authors, which is characterized by positivist approach. Starting from some important essays, for example the researches on Federico Barocci, and the attempt made to define an artistic Marchigian school with its own specific features and independent from Umbrian school, the research examines the most significant topics of the issues.

Some notes on Confraternities, immigrants and artistic production of the "Illyrians" in the Marche. The unknown master Piero di Giorgio da Sebenico in Fermo (1462)
Creators: name: Coltrinari, Francesca
Publisher: name: eum
Year: 2018

description: The paper starts giving an overview of the two years of research on the artistic production connected to the Schiavoni confraternities in Marche region. Unlike the Albanian communities, identifiable for their choice of Saint Venus as their patron saint, the Schiavoni confraternities are more difficult to identify due to a greater variety of patron saints, non exclusively "national". A strong identify, recognizable by the images, seems to have resisted until the 15th century, but non much later. Moreover, in this research, the historical serie the "art of confraternities" is crossed with the "art of Schiavoni artists", a much more substantial and documented category in the Marche of the 15th ab 16th century. The paper presents another unknown dalmatian sculptor active in Marche in the second half of the 15th century: Piero di Giorgio da Sebenico, who in 1462 was commissioned to realised the new portal for the Church of Santa Maria della Carità in Fermo. The unpublished contract for the portal allows us to advance an hypothesis for the identification of some elements, now reused in the portal of the Mount of Piety in Fermo.
 L'articolo parte fornendo una panoramica su due anni di ricerche sul tema della produzione artistica collegabile alle confraternite di Schiavoni nelle Marche. A differenza delle comunità albanesi, identificabili per la loro scelta di Santa Venere come loro santa patrona, le confraternite di Schiavoni sono più difficili da identificare, a causa di una maggiore varietà di santi patroni, non esclusivamente "nazionali". Un'identità forte, riconoscibile dalle immagini, sembra aver resistito fino al XV secolo, ma non molto oltre. In questa ricerca la serie storica "arte delle confraternite" è stata incrociata con "l'arte degli artisti Schiavoni", una categoria molto più consistente e documentata nelle Marche fra XV e XVI secolo. Il contributo presenta un altro sconosciuto scultore dalmata attivo nelle Marche nella seconda metà del XV secolo: Piero di Giorgio da Sebenico, che nel 1462 fu incaricato di realizzare il nuovo portale per la chiesa di Santa Maria della Carità a Fermo. Il contratto inedito per il portale ci consente di avanzare un'ipotesi per l'identificazione di alcuni elementi, ora riutilizzati nel portale del Monte di Pietà a Fermo.

description: The fashion image is inextricably linked to the concept of time. It occupies a unique position between the past and the future, often engaging with unconventional models of time. The temporal nature of fashion imagery becomes even more pronounced with the introduction of new technologies such as photogrammetry and 3D scanning, for these have given rise to a form of digital fashion sculpture that transcends traditional modes of fashion photography and fashion film.

With these new technologies the fashion body moves away from conventional two-dimensional representation and becomes unflattened, unconfined and multi-dimensional. It can repeat, multiply, morph and stretch — a body woven and sculptured from pixels. This practice-based research project investigates the concept of the in-between image within the context of digital fashion film. It explores how the fashion image transitions from a two-dimensional plane into a three-dimensional experience by examining and playing with the temporal nature of the image. It asks the question: How can developments in 3D imaging technology contribute to the field of fashion imagery?

Motivated by the recent technological changes in fashion media, this research is contextualised by key theories of fashion, expanded photography, the body, and affordance. Using photogrammetry, I propose that digital fashion sculpture unveils new perspectives, exposing the fashion image’s construction, revealing flaws, crevices, and hidden details in both the body and garments, imperceptible to the naked eye or traditional cameras.

description: In Zeiten immer komplexer werdender Produkte, die gleichzeitig häufig einen höchst multi-disziplinären Charakter aufweisen, wird es für die Produktentwickler immer schwieriger, die Funktionsweisen und Zusammenhänge der Systeme übergreifend und im Detail zu durchdringen. So lässt sich das Verhalten eines Teilsystems im Kontext des Übersystems im Verlauf der Entwicklung nur sehr schwer und mit hoher Unsicherheit voraussagen. Durch kontinuierliche Validierungsaktivitäten können die Produktentwickler diese Wissenslücken kompensieren und die Unsicherheit reduzieren. Jedoch sind die Produktentwicklungsprozesse aufgrund der immer kürzer werden Entwicklungszyklen einem großen Effizienzdruck unterworfen. Die Herausforderung ist dabei, dass eine Steigerung der Effizienz auch und vor allem der sehr aufwendigen Aktivität der Validierung nicht zu einem unverhältnismäßig ansteigenden Entwicklungsrisiko führen darf.
In dieser Arbeit wird eine Methode zur Priorisierung von Validierungsaktivitäten entwickelt, die auf der Bestimmung der Kritikalität einzelner Teilsysteme / Funktionen basiert. Hierfür werden unterschiedliche Kriterien ermittelt und in geeigneter Weise zusammengeführt. Die Unsicherheit der Entwickler bzgl. der Funktionsweise einzelner Teilsysteme sowie die Auswirkungen einer notwendigen Änderung werden dabei berücksichtigt. Der auf diese Auswahl bzw. Priorisierung folgende Schritt der Definition der durchzuführenden Tests wird ebenfalls methodisch unterstützt. Hierbei kann keine konkrete und gleichzeitig allgemeingültige Herangehensweise definiert werden. Vielmehr wird in dieser Arbeit eine Methode entwickelt, die die Entwickler dabei unterstützt, die in den Unternehmen und einzelnen Abteilungen vorhandene Erfahrung bei der Testdefinition zielführend einzusetzen. Zu diesem Zweck wird ein Test-Beschreibungsmodell entwickelt, mit dem Tests beschrieben und dokumentiert werden können um daraus Referenzprozesse für die zukünftige Validierung abzuleiten.

description: Transitory Encounters examines embodied lived experiences through immersive performance practice. The research explores the role of embodiment in the formation of temporal social spaces used by Filipino domestic workers (FDW) in Hong Kong’s downtown Central district on their day-off. Each Sunday the workers claim public spaces by constructing structures and partitions using various materials --- sectioned and demarcated to create space for cultural connection, social relations, and to emulate a sense of home away from home. This practice- led research asks: How can my performance practice create encounters in social public space to engage with and more fully understand the lived experiences of Filipino domestic workers in Hong Kong?

In this artistic research, I adapted an ethnographic fieldwork method focusing on the sensuous and intuitive artistic forms of inquiry from the standpoint of the body as a research agent and as a vessel where embodied knowledge is stored. While there have been many anthropological and sociological studies on the phenomenon of temporary gatherings of FDWs in Hong Kong, the approach used in this research is distinctively arts-based. Through this fieldwork practice, I developed new immersive multidisciplinary performance research methods to invite participation and dialogue to further understand the lived experiences and phases of liminality experienced by the transitory migrant workers. Thus, the research concludes with discussion of the emergent performance models and fresh insights into performance-based research. Further these findings highlight the significance of performative embodied sharing of experiences in the creation of communicative spaces and social relations in public space.

description: Utilisation of a wider variety of feedstocks for renewable biodiesel as drop-in energy sources requires a significant increase in the research of heterogeneous catalysts. Substitution of corrosive and process-intensive homogeneous catalysts presents a major hurdle. Increasing catalyst activity through variations in structure is a central focus of catalyst design. Such structure-activity relationships are a core concept of increasing feasibility of heterogeneous catalyst-led sustainable processes. In this thesis, several families of heterogeneous base or acid-base catalysts were synthesised and investigated both experimentally and computationally to improve biodiesel production reactions.

Primary aminopropyl groups grafted onto silica supports were used in the transesterification of triglycerides. A commercial mesoporous silica, a mesoporous soft-templated ordered SBA-15, and a hierarchically porous MM-SBA-15 containing soft-templated mesopores and hard-templated ordered macropores were used as supports for the basic amines. Incorporation of macropores resulted in a turnover frequency increase by factors of 4 and 6 for the C4 triglyceride and C8 triglyceride, respectively.

Molecular dynamics modelling of these aminopropyl groups on a representative silica surface was performed to better understand both aminopropyl behaviour and their interactions with biodiesel forming reactants. Custom force field parameters were calculated using quantum mechanics methods and the force field toolkit and compared to those generated by analogy. The Langmuir-Hinshelwood-Hougen-Watson mechanism was found to be the most likely based on the number of solvent-surface interactions, with the methanol and triglyceride preferentially adsorbing to the amine and silanol, respectively.

Development of a porous material with spatially separated acid and base catalyst sites allows for simultaneous transformations of triglycerides and free fatty acids, two components of biodiesel feedstocks. A series of co-located magnesium oxide grafted sulphated zirconia samples were synthesised to replicate the simultaneous catalysis of reactants while protecting the basic magnesium oxide from the antagonistic free fatty acids. Ultimately these simple materials could not convert triglyceride and free fatty acids in a 1:1 molar ratio. This highlights the need for well-designed materials for complex reaction systems. In particular, spatially separated active sites facilitating stepwise reactant-catalyst interactions allow antagonistic reactant mixtures to be converted without additional, energy-intensive processing.

The catalogue: Museum publishing as social practice

description: Museums are in transition. In the past two decades, large public institutions in Australia, North America and Europe have been caught between their accepted role of caring for public collections and ever-expanding missions responding to contemporary audiences. The advent of social modes of curatorial practice and programming initiatives has resulted in visible change in museums. These revisions to museum values and practice affords a question: How might a social publishing practice serve the contemporary museum and its audiences?

In this research I explore publishing as a critical activity for museums to enact their mission statements, and in doing so engage with new audiences. This research aims to understand how museum and publishing professionals might employ social-practice methods to publishing outcomes, for the benefit of both audiences and publishers.

I consider these questions through a reflective practice approach in my capacity as the publisher at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), Melbourne, Australia. The research is structured through a case study approach examining three projects I have undertaken at the NGV in close detail. Three museum publication archetypes – the recurrent publication, the catalogue, and the collection handbook – are contextualised through critical bibliographic work and discussion of significant practice precedents in the field.

Using critical revisions and interventions with three museum publication archetypes, this study contributes three propositions for expanded models of museum publishing. Ultimately, it argues for publishing as a key agent for the expansion and diversification of museum audiences. I argue that revised publishing approaches can offer a platform for critical engagement with public institutions and in turn broader interpretations of museum programming and collections.

Through close critical reflection and analysis of social practice approaches within museum publishing, the research stands to inform future practice within museums and illustrated publishing more broadly. The hope is that the research might support museums and publishers to offer more diverse, inclusive and discursive museum publishing at scale, to allow future audiences to better see themselves represented by public institutions.
